[crowd booing]
What I'd like to have right now is--
[crowd booing]
[JR] Rick Rude not too popular here in Canada.
To say the least.
What I'd like to have--
[crowd booing]
[Cornette] We may need a three-hour show to get this out.
…right now is for all of you fat,
out of shape.
Ottawa idiots…
[crowd booing]
…shut your mouth,
open your eyes,
and give your respect.
To the headliner,
the showstopper,
the main eventer,
and the man who against all odds…
[crowd chanting] Bullshit! Bullshit!
…last night, became the new World Wrestling Entertainment Champion…
"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels.
Hit the music.

[JR] Well, at least Shawn Michaels has his clothes on.
Last week, he threatened to walk naked to the ring,
James E. Cornette.
[Cornette] I heard him say something to the effect that the Canadian fans
didn't deserve it.
[JR] Last night at the Survivor Series,
before a record crowd of 20,593,
in perhaps the most controversial, shocking conclusion
to any WWE title match-up,
Shawn Michaels, in many people's view,
robbed the legendary Bret Hart
of the WWE Championship.
And consequently from what we ascertain,
Bret Hart has left the WWE.
More of that in this broadcast.
-[fireworks exploding] -["Break It Down" continues playing]
-[Rude] Cut the-- -[imperceptible]
[Cornette] They've always said there was only room
for one of them in the same place, at the same time.
And I guess we can see who's still here.
[JR] Bret Hart, the great 21-year veteran.
Left because of Shawn Michaels apparently.
[Rude] Shawn…
It should be obvious to everybody
that the only man qualified
to speak to the new World Wrestling Entertainment Champion
is myself "Ravishing" Rick Rude.
And I'd like to be one of the first to congratulate you.
Well, Ravishing Rick…
I wouldn't have it any other way.
Triple H,
Chyna,
Ravishing Rick,
and The Heartbreak Kid.
D-Generation X
is on top of the world.
[crowd cheering]
You know,
I thought about coming out here
and being politically correct.
But since somebody else drew first blood…
[crowd chattering]
…The Heartbreak Kid.
is now gonna unload on everybody.
[crowd cheering]
Now, for all of you people
that are chanting "We want Bret!",
well, I got news for you…
[crowd chanting] We want Bret! We want Bret! We want Bret!
You can sing it.
But the fact of the matter is,
"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels
beat Bret Hart
in his home country,
in his own finishing hold.
[crowd jeering]
And The Heartbreak Kid
is now the new
World Wrestling Entertainment Champion.
And if you thought that DX
was hell to deal with before,
you have seen absolutely nothing yet.
The World Wrestling Entertainment
was not big enough
for The Heartbreak Kid and Shawn Michaels.
So what I did,
was put his sharpshooter on him
in Montreal, Quebec.
I listened to him squeal and say, "I give up."
And then I ran his ass down south
with the rest of those dinosaurs.
[mixed cheers and boos]
And Hitman…
The gentlemen who are not dinosaurs down there are my friends.
And they are gonna beat the hell out of you one day,
whether you like it or not.
[crowd chattering]
You see, The Heartbreak Kid…
[crowd chanting] We want Bret! We want Bret!
…is the only man in this business
that will ever be on top,
that will ever be number one,
that will ever be the true icon.
And it is this simple.
Not Bret Hart.
Not Hulk Hogan.
Not Randy Savage.
Not anybody has the will.
And it's that simple.
The will to be the best.
And Shawn Michaels will out-will
every one of them.
Because I have something
the rest of you will never ever have.
And that is God-given pure natural talent.
[crowd booing]
[JR] And he's a humble son of a gun.
Now, Rick, Hunter, Chyna.
You know that The Heartbreak Kid
is willing to be a wrestling champion.
Am I correct, Ravishing Rick?
I think what you're trying to say is
that you will fight anybody, anywhere,
and never, never ever say, I quit.
You are correct, but I wanna make one thing perfectly clear.
The Heartbreak Kid would never beat up a 52-year old man.
-["The Ultimate" playing] -[JR] Wait a minute.
Well, Ken Shamrock.
[Cornette] Well, speaking of fighting champions,
he's an Ultimate Fighting Champion.
[JR] You talk about pure God-given talent.
You talk about a gladiator.
A man that two weeks ago made Bret Hart tap out.
Who last week made Shawn Michaels tap out.
Both in ankle lock submissions.
[Cornette] But the referee didn't see those.
[JR] Well, you're right.
[Cornette] He can't put it down in the history books,
but it happened on television.
[JR] Shamrock is gonna write a lot of WWE history
before his chapter first has ended.
[Cornette] He's got some guts coming in there with those odds.
Now, Ken Shamrock,
I know you must be out here for a reason,
but I want you to understand something.
You notice they keep playing your music
until I tell them to shut it off.
All right.
Now, Shamrock,
I gave you a wrestling lesson last week.
Now, I know you can't possibly…
You can't possibly…
want any more of The Heartbreak Kid.
Now, Ken, Ken, here's what I'm gonna do, all right?
I'm gonna give you this microphone.
And what I'd like you to do--
[imperceptible]
[crowd cheering]
I'm gonna give you this microphone,
and I'd like you to see
if you can maybe just try to put a couple of words together
and see… We call that a sentence, Ken.
[Cornette] Boy, talk about playing with fire.
Would you say that to this man?
I don't care how many people is in the ring.
[JR] Not even by facts.
[crowd cheering]
Let me tell you something, degenerates.
[crowd cheering]
I'm very proud of it.
And every one of you
are a disgrace to this human race.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] A lot of folks agree with that.
And you, whatever you call yourself,
man or female, or whatever you wanna call yourself…
[Cornette] Oh!
[JR] Wow!
[crowd cheering]
…can go have a seat where you belong,
because you sure as hell ain't no kitten or no woman or man,
or whatever the hell you are.
[crowd cheering]
Well, do you think that's funny?
You just wait until I get a hold of your ass, boy.
And as for you…
You'll take on anybody, anywhere, anytime?
Well, how about right now, you little punk?
[crowd cheering]
[JR] That's pretty straightforward. I think that deserves a yes or no answer.
[Cornette] Well, I see a lot of movement--
I ain't done yet.
[Cornette] Nobody touched Shamrock yet.
And as for you, you little backstabbing punk.
All you know how to do is come up behind people.
You can't stand in front of anybody, because you're an old man.
[crowd cheering]
[imperceptible]
And another thing is,
Shawn Michaels,
with that little beautiful hair of yours and that sexy chest,
I'm about to punch a hole right in it.
[crowd cheering]
And not you,
or you,
or whatever you are…
[crowd cheering]
…can stop me.
Now, I have the mic.
And I say when it's time to stop talking.
[crowd cheering]
[imperceptible]
[crowd chanting] Shamrock! Shamrock! Shamrock!
Well, guess what?
I don't think so.
I think I'll decide
when you stop talking.
And you know what, World's Most Dangerous Man?
I've decided you'll stop talking.
Okay?
First of all, this woman
could knock you out any day of her life.
-[JR] I doubt it. -Number two…
What you call an old man…
you better be lucky this old man doesn't knock you the hell out.
[crowd booing]
And number three…
This guy right here…
could beat you anywhere, anytime.
And as for me,
I don't blame you for thinking my hair is sexy,
and my chest is sexy.
[JR] Commissioner Slaughter on his way to the ring.
Oh, boy. Here we go.
[JR] Maybe he'll put an end to this epic--
Here comes chinny-chin-chin-chin-chin.
-[Cornette] Unfortunately… -Chin-chin-chin-chin.
-…DX doesn't have their umbrellas. -Okay. Sgt. Slobber.
I'm gonna give you the same instructions I gave Mr. Shamrock.
I know you can put the words together and make the sentence.
But I'd like to not to have to put on a raincoat.
So if you can say it in the direction of Mister…
[crowd cheering]
[Cornette] Thank God.
First off…
HBK.
You have a world title match scheduled,
against this man, Ken Shamrock.
Excuse me, when?
You have a match scheduled
for the World Entertainment Championship
against this man, Ken Shamrock.
[crowd cheering]
Look, you better understand one thing.
I just beat a man who's a legend in his own mind last night.
And ran him out of the WWE.
I can't defend the title tonight.
I've been a little-- I mean, regularly, regularly, I would.
Because, I mean--
[crowd chattering]
You're not wrestling him tonight.
You are.
Triple H,
you are wrestling Ken Shamrock tonight.
I've already got a match scheduled later. I'm not touching him.
I would whoop your ass but I got other business to take care of.
You're right, you have a match tonight.
But it's against this man, Ken Shamrock.
And to make sure that there's no outside interference,
I will be sitting at ringside.
And you, and you,
and especially you…
are not allowed to come into the ringside area.
-You are banned. -[JR exclaims]
-And that's an order. -[rock music playing]
[JR] Well, I'll you one thing.
Shamrock and Helmsley of D-Generation X
one-on-one right here tonight.
But, ladies and gentlemen, about last night.
You talk about controversy,
the encore is tomorrow night.
[JR] Welcome back, everybody, to WWE Raw.
We are live in Ottawa at the Corel Center.
[bell ringing]
[announcer] …with a 20-minute time limit,
making his way to the ring, being accompanied by Sable,
from Buffalo, New York,
weighing in at 245 pounds,
Marc Mero!
[JR] We certainly wanna thank the fans joining us on TSN tonight.
Throughout Canada, of course, our fans in…
United States on the USA Network.
And The Undertaker is gonna be here in action, James E. Cornette.
But reflect on what just happened in this first segment.
[Cornette] Well, basically, Shawn Michaels was running his mouth
that he can whip anybody in the world.
And here came Ken Shamrock,
Helmsley got involved, and we're gonna see Shamrock and Helmsley one-on-one tonight.
[announcer] …Ahmed Johnson!
[JR] Ahmed Johnson.
Certainly had an eventful Raw last week
when he was introduced to Kane.
And what an auspicious debut
at the Survivor Series for Kane,
who in a grueling match, one of the most physical matchups…
And I gained so much respect for Mankind last night.
What a fight, he was challenged so much.
[bell ringing]
Ladies and gentlemen, our broadcast tonight.
As usual available in Spanish with Carlos Cabrera
and the former Intercontinental Champion Tito Santana.
Ahmed Johnson and Marc Mero locking up
and Ahmed forcing Mero back into the corner.
[Cornette] I know that a guy that Ahmed Johnson
has crossed paths with a couple of times
in the past few weeks, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
The new Intercontinental Champion is gonna be here tonight.
But like you were saying, two things were proven last night.
Mankind may be the toughest human being walking the planet.
-[JR] Absolutely. -[Cornette] And Kane cannot be injured.
He cannot be stopped.
[JR] What a hip lock takeover by Ahmed Johnson and a knockdown,
from the clothesline and another one.
And the former New York State Golden Gloves Boxing Champion,
Marc Mero,
who would love to step out of his lovely assistant, Sable's shadow.
[crowd chanting] Sable! Sable!
[Cornette] Say that three times fast.
I'll tell you one thing Mero would like to step out of right now and it looks like
that's the ring.
This is an unusual match-up.
We've never seen Ahmed Johnson and Marc Mero go at it.
And Mero is moving in.
[referee] Two.
[crowd chattering]
[JR] Mero now measuring Ahmed Johnson.
Irish whip from the center of the ropes and Mero,
with an explosive reverse elbow right in the sternum of Ahmed Johnson.
[crowd chanting] Mero! Mero! Mero!
Certainly Mero using his boxing skills here,
that are denting the armor of Ahmed Johnson.
And there is a knockdown by Mero.
And referee Jack Doan admonishing Mero
for using the closed fists which, by the way,
in case Mero hasn't looked in the rulebook, it is illegal.
[Cornette] And I tell you one thing you don't wanna do in that match-up
in a boxing match with Marc Mero.
The man-- Oh, the man can punch.
But Ahmed Johnson can kick.
I think there are several folks around here who can tell you that.
[JR] Ahmed Johnson so intense.
Has had to battle through so many adversities in his life.
Including numerous injuries here in the WWE.
Well, there's a spinebuster.
You were happy to see your old pal from Jasper, Alabama.
The legendary super heavyweight boxer Butterbean is with us tonight.
And Ahmed Johnson,
now trying to put Marc Mero away right here.
[Cornette] He's going for that Pearl River Plunge.
If he gets this, Mero is cooked.
[JR] Whoa!
[referee] Ring the bell.
-[bell ringing] -[JR] Right and then Mero went downstairs,
and I think referee Jack Doan caught him.
[announcer] The winner of this match as a result of a disqualification,
Ahmed Johnson.
[JR] Ahmed Johnson wins by disqualification.
-And Mero tried to execute the TKO… -[bell ringing]
…with the 315 pounds of almost unconscious weight.
[crowd cheering]
[Cornette] Yeah, I'll tell you what, he's been doing it for weeks and finally,
the referee saw it.
The low blow by Marc Mero and he couldn't get Ahmed Johnson up
because Ahmed was doubled up in two, JR.
[JR] Well, I'll tell you one thing, I wonder what-- Oh, Butterbean.
There he is hello, Bean.
Butterbean, winner of 18 Toughman fights in the Toughman contests.
His manager, Art Dore there with him.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, coming up next.
We're gonna have Light Heavyweight Tournament action.
Taka Michinoku takes on Devon Storm next.
[JR] Tonight, WWE Raw is brought to you by Footaction.
For every action, there's Footaction.
[Cornette] And by the motor oil that provides maximum protection.
Castrol GTX.
Drive hard.
[JR] What a beautiful facility it is here in Ottawa, the Corel Center.
The home of the Ottawa Senators.
But not as beautiful as Sunny.
-["I Know You Want Me" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, your guest ring announcer,
Sunny!
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Sunny will be our guest ring announcer for this
Light Heavyweight Tournament match-up.
And we have been joined at ringside
by Brian Christopher.
Another of the great light heavyweights
currently competing here in the WWE.
And the young man has certainly has his sights set,
on the light heavyweight title.
[Brian] That's right, Ross.
I wanna know why I didn't get this response
when I came walking down that aisle.
[JR] There are several reasons, we're going to it later.
[Cornette] I think one of the reasons, Brian,
is the crowd is mostly male and they're jealous.
[Brian] That's right, they're jealous of me, at least you see that.
[crowd cheering]
All of these people here in Canada are sore for the sight of a real man.
I'd like to introduce to you this next,
Light Heavyweight Tournament match-up.
First, from Morioka, Iwate, Japan,
weighing 197 pounds,
he is the high-flyer of the World Wrestling Entertainment,
Taka Michinoku!
[crowd cheering]
And his opponent,
from the Pacific Palisades--
-[Brian] Oh, yeah, oh, yeah. -[bell ringing]
[JR] Well, Devon Storm…
[Brian] I love it. I love it. [cackles]
[JR] Devon Storm attacking Taka Michinoku.
And Devon Storm knows that Taka Michinoku has been on a great roll here in the WWE.
This is an Eight-Man Single Elimination Tournament.
You lose, you're out of it.
And Taka counters the attempted powerbomb.
[Cornette] You know, that's why they call this guy "Dangerous" Devon Storm,
because he will come at you from all directions and right now,
he doesn't know that Taka's coming--
[Brian] Hey, that's my move.
[JR] Taka Michinoku with a dropkick.
And now, Taka,
-measuring… Asai Moonsault. -[Cornette] Oh!
Right over the top of him, right over--
He brought him down with him.
[Brian] This Taka Michinoku is the reason I came out here.
Because I wanna watch this punk. And he's a punk, believe me.
[Cornette] Well, I got to tell you, Brian.
It looks like from the way that things have been going--
Oh!
Taka Michinoku is a guy you're gonna have to reckon with in this tournament.
Except if "Dangerous" Devon Storm has his way.
[Brian] Oh, that's right, hey,
if Taka Michinoku loses this match right here
then he's out, he's out of the tournament, right?
[Cornette] He's out of the tournament if Devon Storm wins this match.
Then Taka Michinoku is history,
as far as the Light Heavyweight Tournament is concerned, JR.
[Brian] Well, he'll be history in anyway if I get my hands on the punk.
[JR] Devon Storm now hooking up the front facelock.
And, oh, face-first suplex.
Nice move by Devon Storm on Taka Michinoku.
[Brian giggling] I love it!
Beat that boy's brains out.
[Cornette] Storm now looks like he's trying to tie Taka up on the ropes.
He's got his arms draped over him but he's not tied well.
And Storm-- Oh!
[JR] Storm with a dropkick takes Taka straight down.
Snapmare takeover.
[crowd cheering]
[Cornette] Watch Storm.
Somersault over the ropes into a leg drop.
You know, Brian, this Storm
maybe somebody that you might not be too anxious to meet.
He's looking pretty good here tonight.
[Brian] He's looking like Jeff Jarrett's younger brother,
is what he's looking like. [giggles]
Except with a big old beak on his face.
Last time I've seen a nose like that, he was picking a peanut.
[laughing hysterically]
[Cornette] Watch Taka. DDT!
[JR] Swinging DDT by Taka Michinoku, lateral press.
Leg hooked there and a near fall.
[Cornette] Devon Storm was almost stuck in the ring
-because of that nose went straight down. -[Brian cackles]
[JR] Waist lock and a suplex there just…
released there.
I wanna see this Taka Michinoku out of the tournament.
That's what I wanna see.
Because it's gonna be smooth sailing for the sexiest man alive.
[JR] Maybe you should work on pronouncing his name correctly.
[Brian] What is it? I don't speak Japanese.
[Cornette] JR, the man is a wrestler, he's not a linguist.
He doesn't have to-- Wait, oh!
Wow!
Taka Michinoku, he's got a second life.
[JR] Taka up on top now.
And the hurricanrana bringing…
Devon Storm right off the top.
Will that be enough?
And Devon Storm showing a great--
A pretty competitive spirit quite frankly in this Single Elimination Tournament.
And Taka taking a chance.
[Brian] You see that right there, the boy is stupid.
And I call him a boy because I'm a man.
He's stupid.
He doesn't have the brains that I possess. Or the ability and I think he's out.
I think he's out.
[JR] The big upset right here and a near fall.
-Taka got a shoulder up. -[Brian] How did he do that?
[Cornette] Storm took him up in a fireman's carry, tucked the head,
and drove him straight down.
Giving Taka Michinoku a little taste of his own medicine.
That Michinoku Driver has dropped many a man on his head.
And Storm now,
really putting the pressure on this young Japanese
high-flying sensation.
[Brian] End it, Toucan Sam, come on, put him away.
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
[Cornette] Going for it-- Oh!
[JR] Nobody there that time.
And, uh…
Well, I'll tell you, he's got to mount an offense
right now, Taka Michinoku, it's make or break.
[JR] Taka lowers his head there and Devon Storm now,
with yet another opportunity perhaps to
turn the corner here offensively.
[crowd chattering]
The finals of the Light Heavyweight Tournament
will be held on December the 7th by the way.
More on that in upcoming weeks. And there's a suplex by Taka.
[Brian] I'm getting sick and tired of this Taka.
[Cornette] Taka's going back up to the top rope.
This guy, sooner or later,
he is gonna put Devon Storm away.
[Brian] He's gonna put him away. But I'll tell you what,
he won't put me away. Watch this, Cornette.
[JR] Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute.
[Cornette] Brian, Brian!
[JR] Brian Christopher now.
[crowd chattering]
Taka looking to do the…
To execute the Michinoku Driver
and put Devon Storm away.
Brian Christopher-- Oh!
Dropkick right off the turn of the apron.
[Cornette] Storm's got an opening.
Storm, he's going--
-Wait a minute. Oh! -[crowd exclaiming]
[JR] And there it is, Michinoku Driver.
-And Taka Michinoku… -[bell ringing]
…perhaps the favorite to be the Light Heavyweight Champion
wins another match-up here.
And now Taka flies.
[crowd cheering]
[Cornette] Brian Christopher is in a world of hurt.
[JR] Brian Christopher heading to safer ground.
[Sunny] The winner of this match-up and advancing
in the World Wrestling Entertainment Light Heavyweight Tournament,
Taka Michinoku!
["Yamato Suite No. 4" playing]
[JR] Well, ladies and gentlemen, Taka Michinoku will advance
in the Light Heavyweight Tournament.
And certainly Taka and Aguila will meet next in the tournament.
[JR] The Eagle, Aguila.
I think that is gonna be a match that we are really gonna wanna see.
You're following me.
Blackjack Windham is down. We need a paramedic back here.
Blackjack Windham is down. Get a paramedic, you hear me?
-We need a paramedic back here. -[indistinct shouting]
[JR] Unbelievable. He was saying something about two jackasses.
I don't know what he was talking about. We'll be back with Raw in a sec.
[narrator] The official WWE action figures.
You ready to crunch somebody's bones?
I knew that you were.
-How's it going, Vince, huh? -[bell ringing]
-You little punk! -[Mr. McMahon] Wait just a minute.
Oh, no.
[narrator] Collect Superstars Series Five from Jakks. Available at most retailers.
[Stone Cold] Because "Stone Cold" said so.
[JR] And we are back, ladies and gentlemen, on Raw.
The Truth Commission in the ring.
[announcer] …for one fall with a 20-minute time limit.
In the ring, being accompanied by The Jackyl and The Interrogator,
from South Africa at a combined weight of 567 pounds,
Recon and Sniper, The Truth Commission.
[JR] Well, ladies and gentlemen, uh,
Blackjack Windham, obviously attacked, we understand.
Well, we'll get more on that momentarily.
[JR] Bradshaw wasn't happy about it either.
[announcer] …weight of 507 pounds,
Mosh and Thrasher, The Headbangers.
[JR] Headbangers are posting for somebody and well, the noise tips it off.
-It's the DOA. -[motorcycle revving]
[JR] The DOA and The Truth Commission met at the Survivor Series
and The Interrogator, the seven-foot monster,
was absolutely dominant
and the winning cause for The Truth Commission.
[JR] Oh, wait a minute. We got the DOA coming to the ring,
we have The Truth Commission in the ring.
-We've got The Jackyl. -[Jackyl] Jim.
[JR] The Jackyl has joined us at the desk.
Jim Cornette, I cannot believe… This is a complete travesty
that the DOA are even out here.
They are not scheduled for this match.
[JR] Well, I count four DOA, I count two Headbangers.
I only count three of The Truth Commission,
-except if you don't count yourself. -[Jackyl] They're out here for one reason
and that is the fact that it is eating Crush alive inside
that my revelation for the Survivor Series came to pass
and that is that I would be glorified and I was.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] There you have it, JR.
[JR] Well, that was certainly edifying.
And we are match is underway here.
Recon and Mosh in this tag team match-up.
The Headbangers, former WWE Tag Champions.
[Jackyl] Crush and I could've settled this but he's afraid to be alone with me.
Not because he has fear for his physical self,
but because a man with his somewhat limited mental capacity
is subject to my so-called "powers of persuasion."
[JR] Yeah, I've heard about your so-called "powers of persuasion."
[JR] Crossbody and a near fall there.
[Jackyl] Works especially well on the weak-minded.
Keep that in mind, Mr. Ross.
[JR] That's the same kind of formula that Charles Manson used
to assemble a family.
[Jackyl] Jim, you know I don't appreciate these references.
I'm clearly a role model for children. A man who uses his intellect.
[JR] All I know is everybody who's ever gotten anywhere
doing what you're doing, pal,
preyed on people who had one insecurity, one weakness,
or one place where they needed somebody to reassure 'em
and they preyed on that.
[Jackyl] There's millions of people out there who need to be led
and I am the shepherd who will shepherd them
through the savage garden that is our sick society.
[JR] Go stand on a street corner and tell somebody that really cares?
[Jackyl] Jim, if you just opened up your mind
and spend five minutes with me,
even someone as cynical as you could be a true believer.
[JR] Great move there by The Headbangers.
[mic rumbling]
[JR] Wait a minute. Jackyl just tossed that headset down…
Come on. What the hell is going on?
[JR] Whoa! And there goes Jackyl!
He better stick to talking 'cause it don't work when he gets to fighting.
[JR] No, when he gets in the ring, uh, business do not pick up.
[JR] Speaking of business picking up, The Undertaker is here tonight in action
and, JR, I spotted Paul Bearer earlier tonight.
He is in the arena.
Where Paul Bearer goes, you know Kane goes.
I'm afraid something may happen.
[JR] Oh, we've been rejoined. What a joyous and glorious day!
Hallelujah! You're back!
[Jackyl] I'm sure you enjoyed it.
Like all prophets, I'm not afraid to be a martyr for the cause.
I'm gonna give you a revelation for tonight.
Something very bad is going to happen to The Headbangers
because they put their hands on the man.
[JR] That's not a revelation, Jackyl. That's a prophecy.
That's a prophecy, kind of like they made when they just nailed you.
They said, "Have a nice trip. See you next fall."
[Jackyl] This is a wonderful opportunity for me to address the great unwashed,
the wretched refuse, the soiled masses, that are the WWE fan base.
I know they are hanging on every word of the truth that drips from my lips.
[grunting]
[JR] Quite a clothesline.
[JR] Why am I sitting next to him? I'm starting to feel dirty already.
[JR] I have no idea.
[Jackyl] Sniper and Recon are dangerous
not just because of their sheer mass, JR,
but because they're willing to sacrifice themselves
for the sake of the cause.
They are true believers. They fear nothing but my disappointments.
[JR] How much of their earnings are you lifting from them?
[Jackyl] Money is not important to men like this, JR.
[JR] Of course.
[Jackyl] All that matters to them is my divine approval.
[JR] I guess you're doing their accounting as well.
[Jackyl] JR, numbers mean nothing to a man of my intelligence.
[Cornette] I'll say, you have found a bunch of guys here with tremendous size…
[JR] There's a cover right there by Recon.
[Cornette] Almost a three count. Tremendous size, unbelievable quickness.
This Recon moves like a cat for a guy his size.
Sniper, I think, the more experienced.
But this Interrogator…
[JR] Ladies and gentlemen, we can tell you right here tonight,
Ken Shamrock, the World's Most Dangerous Man…
There's a low blow.
Shamrock and Triple H of D-Generation X will meet tonight.
The Undertaker will be in the ring tonight
and he is in a fighting mood, I can promise you that.
If Kane is in the house, there could be a confrontation there.
And "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, the new Intercontinental Champion
has a heck of a lot to say
and he's going to say it right here tonight from Ottawa.
And Mosh and Sniper now…
[both grunting]
…paired off in this tag team match-up.
[Cornette] Jackyl, it looks like the team is in need.
-[grunting] -Ooh!
[JR] Don't forget the Interrogator.
-[Jackyl] Exactly. -Seven-foot monster.
[Jackyl] Jim Ross, you love giant men,
there's a man standing in front of you so big he could block out the sun.
[JR] What do you mean by that? I love giant men?
[Jackyl] I'm not a gridiron hero, only an intelligent individual.
So you choose to denigrate me on national television.
[JR] Oh, there's a mistake.
[Cornette] JR, what are you not telling me about your personal life?
[Jackyl] A setback is all it is, JR.
[Cornette] Wait, listen, now I'm believing him now.
-Holy mackerel! -[JR] Double team by The Headbangers
and a flapjack.
[Jackyl] I live by the word of the truth and he's definitely allowing…
Now that's a big mistake right there. You don't want to get him mad.
[JR] The Devil Dropkick did not even take the Interrogator off his feet.
Great teamwork there by The Headbangers.
[Cornette] He knocked the man on him.
[Jackyl] Heaven forgive the man who makes the Interrogator angry.
Remember, I said that.
-[JR] Oh, Interrogator! The… -[bell ringing]
[Jackyl] I would love to settle some business with Crush.
[bell ringing]
[Cornette] Well, there he goes, The Jackyl, he's in it.
DOA is in it!
[JR] The DOA trying to get the Interrogator
off the seven-footer's feet,
but to no avail.
-[bell ringing] -[indistinct shouting]
[JR] This Interrogator, almost single-handedly at Survivor Series
was just so dominant in a winning effort.
And right now, The Truth Commission trying to pull the Interrogator.
[yelling]
[Cornette] His men are the only ones that can pull him out of the fight.
[JR] Well, you talk about fights, we got a lot more fighting tonight.
Shamrock and Triple H, one-on-one tonight.
[shouting continues]
[JR] And it maybe, uh, tap out time for Triple H,
if Shamrock has his way.
That's later tonight.
And look at his neck. The seven-foot Interrogator.
[announcer] …The Headbangers.
[JR] Well, I see nobody chasing the Interrogator.
DOA and The Headbangers. Headbangers won that match.
[crowd cheering]
["Break It Down" playing]
[JR] Ladies and gentlemen, as we mentioned,
Ken Shamrock has challenged Shawn Michaels.
But tonight it will be Shamrock and Triple H.
-What a match-up still to come. -[imperceptible]
[narrator] In over 100 countries, in seven different languages,
to more than a half billion viewers each week,
the World Wrestling Entertainment,
the worldwide leader in sports entertainment.
[JR] The toughest SOB to ever lace boots in the WWE is here
to impact Canada.
Owen Hart with a tremendous ovation in his home country.
Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart sneaking around here behind Austin
-and Neidhart in. -[Cornette screams]
[JR] There's a stunner.
-[Cornette] Here we go. -[JR] Oh, no, the piledriver.
And it looks like Owen Hart is walking out of here.
[Cornette] Owen's opening a can of haul-ass!
Look out, Owen!
[Owen] Disqualify me then.
[JR] He told the ref, "Disqualify me then."
Owen Hart wants to take a cheap way out of here.
[Cornette] He's stomping that mud hole, isn't he?
[JR] And walking it dry.
Oh, a Stunner, a "Stone Cold" Stunner.
The Rattlesnake did it.
[siren blaring]
[suspenseful music playing]
[dog barking]
♪ Yeah ♪
♪ Too much dark and not enough sky ♪
♪ What has caused the thorn in your eye? ♪
[crowd cheering]
[fireworks exploding]
[JR] Welcome, everyone, to the War Zone.
The Corel Center in Ottawa, Canada is jam packed.
And these rabid Canadian fans are ready
for the new Intercontinental Champion.
The one and only, Rattlesnake, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[glass breaking]
["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing]
[JR] Before a Survivor Series record-setting crowd of 20,593
in Montreal just hours ago,
Austin became the new Intercontinental Champion one more time.
…the World Wrestling Entertainment Intercontinental Champion,
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin!
[crowd cheering]
[JR] A sea of 3:16 signs…
It was not a great night for The Hart Foundation,
Jerry "The King" Lawler
and welcome to ringside.
[Lawler] Well, I know last night was not a great night for the Harts.
And it started out not to be a great night for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
and the entire nation was against him
but it seems now they've united behind him.
"Stone Cold", first off, congratulations and I guess at Survivor Series,
payback was hell for Owen Hart.
I'm not really concerned about the payback
because what I did was go out there and prove
that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is back!
[crowd cheering, whistling]
Whatever!
Sat on my couch for three months, drinking beer,
walked right back in and tool my Intercontinental title back.
Why?
Because I am the toughest SOB in the WWE
and can't nobody stop me.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] May not be too politically correct…
"Stone Cold", you've always been a marked man
but now that you have the belt,
you might as well paint a bullseye on your forehead.
Why don't I paint a bullseye on your ass and just kick you around the building?
-[men] We are the Nation of Domination! -What?
["We Are The Nation" playing]
[JR] Well, obviously, the Nation of Domination
about to grace us with their presence.
It's just… It's Rocky Maivia.
The Rock.
He looked fantastic at the Survivor Series.
[Lawler] Not looking too bad right now.
[JR] Former Intercontinental Champ.
[crowd chanting] Rocky!
[The Rock] Shut up.
I don't mean to rain on your little victory parade
but I know all the fans of the WWE
around the world and everyone here tonight,
felt that when Rocky Maivia was the Intercontinental Champion,
I was the best damn Intercontinental Champion there was.
[crowd booing]
[man whistles]
Steve Austin,
come hell or high water, one way or another,
I'm gonna be wearing my Intercontinental title.
And if you've got enough manhood to you to accept my challenge
[crowd chanting] Rock, you suck! Rock, you suck!
[Lawler] Where do you think the Nation is, Ross?
[The Rock] You people are so ignorant.
[JR] Well, they're here.
If you've got enough manhood to accept my challenge,
then your bottom line will read,
"Has been. Compliments of The Rock."
[crowd chattering]
You got your little challenge so you think you're big and tough.
You stand up there all jacked up.
I got a couple of challenges for you.
I challenge you to you a decent haircut.
-[Lawler chuckles] -[crowd cheering]
Since you're a piece of crap,
I challenge you to flush yourself down a commode.
-[crowd cheering] -[JR] Wow!
As far as you or anybody else is concerned,
all you got to do is sign a damn piece of paper
and I'll beat anybody right here in the middle of the ring.
So, you're damn right you got your shot.
You understand what I'm saying?
But you don't suck because these people say you suck,
you suck because "Stone Cold" said so.
-And that's the bottom line. -[crowd cheering]
[microphone thuds]
[JR] Rocky Maivia issuing a challenge to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
and, Jerry "The King" Lawler, I think the answer was yes.
[Lawler] Well, you know, there's an old saying,
"Sometimes you let your mouth overload your rear end."
One of these days, big bad "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
may just do that, you know.
["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing]
[JR] "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, the new Intercontinental Champion
and, folks, whatever you do, don't go away.
Because coming up next, we got a Bunkhouse Battle.
It's gonna be nasty.
Plus, Ken Shamrock meets Hunter Hearst-Helmsley,
still to come.
[singing in Spanish]
[Lawler] Welcome back to the War Zone
and as you can see, Los Boricuas are already in the ring.
I'm Jerry "The King" Lawler and I guess my broadcast colleague, JR,
is about to suck up to this one-hit wonder,
Steve Blackman here.
All right, King, thank you very much for nothing.
Steve, good to see you and thanks for taking time to visit.
I thought last night at the Survivor Series
and I know we got some highlights of some of your action last night
Offensively, you put on quite the display.
Offensively, last night in the Survivor Series
I thought you did a great accounting of yourself.
But how do you feel that you did?
Well, I'm not that familiar with the rules of the WWE.
I feel like I acquitted myself in the Survivor Series,
you know, help the team.
And now it's time for me--
I suggest you should wait your chance
and get some interviews some other time, okay?
Just stay out of my face.
You telling me to get out of your face, huh?
You telling me to get out--
[JR] Hey, hey, hey!
[Lawler] Well, JR, you've done it again. Look at this now.
[all grunting]
[Lawler] Your newcomer, Steve Blackman,
who obviously doesn't belong here in the World Wrestling Entertainment
is about to get his butt kicked.
[JR] I don't know about that, King.
Blackman, the martial arts expert from Annville, Pennsylvania.
I talked to him, he said he's heading back home
and continue to train his students.
He has not planned on a career here in the WWE.
But he certainly more than willing to accommodate anyone
that wants to get involved in some physical combat.
[indistinct shouting]
[Lawler] Get him out of the ring. Look out!
[JR] Well, we're gonna settle down here, folks.
We know that, uh, Blackjack Windham has been knocked out of action.
He's been receiving medical attention. Let's go to Michael Cole.
That's right, JR. Blackjack Windham, obviously suffering from rib injuries.
I'm with Road Dogg and Billy Gunn.
And, guys, how can you accept this match? It's gonna be two on one.
Well, that's a stupid question but it's par for your course.
You see, Blackjack Windham was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
And now Blackjack Bradshaw is higher than a Georgia pine
and twice as stupid
because you're going up against Mr. A-double crooked letter
and the Road Dogg and all these weapons.
As a matter of fact, let's get things started.
[JR] Well, uh, we have a tag team match scheduled.
The Blackjacks against Road Dogg and Billy Gunn here.
A Bunkhouse Brawl. Come dressed as your are, King.
[Lawler] Yeah, let's don't exactly just term it a tag team match.
[JR] It's not gonna be one.
Well, that's right. The Bunkhouse Brawl--
[Road Dogg] Oh, yeah, Ottawa!
-…bring anything to the ring. -[Road Dogg] It's about time
Keep your eyes open because what you're gonna see is carnage.
We're getting rid of the Blackjacks. Not one, but two of 'em.
[JR] We'll I'll tell you what, these two guys,
Billy Gunn and the Road Dogg,
have stolen the Road Warriors' shoulder pads,
-they've stolen the Blackjacks'… -[Lawler] Hats. Yeah.
[JR] They've cost the Boricuas a tag team match
right here on this broadcast.
They've infuriated virtually everybody in the WWE.
[Lawler] Their version of How to Win Friends and Influence People.
They're loving it.
[JR] Well, this makes, uh… I don't know how judicious
a decision this is for Commissioner Slaughter,
if he is going to indeed allow Blackjack Bradshaw
to take on two men.
["Blackjack" playing]
[JR] Well, apparently, that's exactly what's gonna happen.
[Lawler] I can just say this, Bradshaw's gotta be a few peas short of a casserole
if he's gonna come down here and involve himself in a Bunkhouse Brawl
with these two guys, two-on-one.
[announcer] …294 pounds, Blackjack Bradshaw!
-[Lawler] Hey! -[JR] Bradshaw throwing some powder
in the eyes of Billy Gunn and outside goes the Road Dogg.
-[Lawler] Look out! -[grunts]
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Oh!
[JR] And Bradshaw with that, uh, trash can.
This is gonna be a nasty, nasty match, I'll tell you.
Bradshaw is all man and yard wide
and, boom, that big Stan Hansen-like foot right to the face
will rearrange your teeth.
-Oh, look at this. Good grief. -[Lawler] Look at this.
I don't think that's exactly what the Road Dogg and Billy Gunn had in mind
with those garbage cans.
[JR] Man, you talk about a big man walking tall,
Blackjack Bradshaw is kicking fanny and taking names here.
At 6'6" and 300 pounds. Good Lord, have mercy.
[Lawler] And he's got the timekeeper's table.
[JR] Oh, God Almighty. What are you doing?
[crowd cheering, whistling]
[JR] Bradshaw has just gone crazy.
Bradshaw's partner, Blackjack Windham has been…
[Lawler] Calm him down, Ross. Get up there. Look at this!
[JR] Oh, my goodness!
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Bradshaw is making a lasting impression
on everybody involved in this match-up.
[Lawler] What's he gonna do now?
[JR] This is absolutely an overwhelming display--
-Oh, there's a DDT, right on the chair. -[Lawler] Did you see that?
[JR] A DDT on the chair
-and both Road Dogg and Billy Gunn… -[bell ringing]
…cover Bradshaw and win this match.
[announcer] Here are your winners,
the "Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn.
[Lawler] Man!
Ooh!
One for the road from the Road Dogg.
[JR] Well, this one may not be over back in the locker room.
Ladies and gentlemen, when we come back,
we'll have more of Jeff Jarrett's very controversial interview.
Folks, you ain't heard nothing yet.
[JR] Milton Bradley Karate Fighters presents D-Generation X: In Your House.
Live December 7th from Springfield, Massachusetts.
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
last week we started our interviews with Jeff Jarrett.
And, uh, I started this interview segment with Jeff
by asking him if he was worth what he was being paid.
Uh, to be quite honest,
I think the WWE's getting Jeff Jarrett at a bargain.
I want to ask you a question.
Where in 1997 can you go out and find a guy
who's been in the wrestling business 12 years?
I'm 30 years old, I started when I was 18.
[man] Jeff Jarrett, uh, a second-generation, uh, wrestler, right?
Uh, his father's a tremendous wrestler,
he's been in a wrestling family all his life.
[Jeff Jarrett] Never taken a steroid in my life.
No skeletons in the closet.
Have the star potential and star quality that I have.
Looks like I do, in and out of the ring.
[man] He's something. Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
He's all up in lights.
So, for the WWE to get me at the price they're paying me,
I think it's a bargain.
[JR] What's your immediate goals?
It's been my lifelong goal and it's my immediate goal.
I will be the World Wrestling Entertainment Champion.
And Vince McMahon, he might not have thought it two years ago,
he might not think it right now.
But I will be the greatest, most respected
WWE Champion that he's ever had.
[JR] Now, I have to ask you about, uh, Bret Hart.
How do you feel you match up with him
as far as just one-on-one, no hard foundation, just you two guys?
I've never beaten Bret.
And that's one guy that I wanna put a notch in my belt.
Saying I beat him.
Um, I'm far superior
with Bret in all aspects now.
And was, like I said,
that's the key word when he says his little saying.
Um…
Best there was.
That about all I can say about Bret.
[JR] You have any feelings on Survivor Series
from a man that has been in the ring with both?
I'd be surprised if Shawn doesn't win.
[JR] Um, let's play a little bit of, uh, word association.
And I'll give you an individual's name
and you tell me the first thing that comes to your mind.
Bret Hart.
Dedicated.
[JR] The Nation of Domination.
Strength in numbers.
[JR] Dude Love.
Mankind.
Cactus Jack.
I knew him when he was Cactus Jack,
I knew him when he was Mankind.
You introduced me to Dude Love.
I got respect for the guy.
[JR] Randy Savage.
Hardest working wrestler I've ever known.
[JR] Legion of Doom.
Raw ability.
[JR] Eric Bischoff.
Right place, right time, right wallet.
[JR] Hulk Hogan.
Charisma and intelligence equals success.
[JR] Shawn Michaels.
Phenomenal athlete.
[JR] Hunter Hearst-Helmsley. Triple H.
Tag along.
[JR] Chyna.
Phew. Um…
[JR] Well, Shawn Michaels' attitude,
does his juvenile acts annoy you?
[Jeff Jarrett] As long as you don't act juvenile around me
or mess with Jeff Jarrett,
it doesn't annoy me at all.
Shawn is frustrated probably in his life and I don't know what at
and I think this is how he's venting it.
He's, uh…
You call it the freshman class.
He's, uh…
doing his little juvenile acts and having fun at it,
making money doing it.
And he knows he can go out there and still be one of the greatest wrestlers
in the world today.
No doubt, Jeff Jarrett looking to make an impact here in the WWE.
Again, a little word association, King. Jeff Jarrett.
He's a star and he's the future of the WWE.
Ladies and gentlemen, our colleague, Michael Cole
is standing by with our old buddy, Butterbean and his manager, Art Dore.
I'm here with Butterbean.
He is the 18-time winner of the Toughman competition.
He also is the current IBA Super Heavyweight Boxing Champion.
Butterbean, what brings you to the Corel Center in Ottawa?
-Well, I got to-- -["Rough Rock" playing]
[Michael] What's this? Marc Mero's music. Anyway, why are you here?
I got a fight coming up December 6th in Delaware, Cole.
So, I've come to town to train.
Monday Night Raw, which I'm a big fan. Me and my boys watch it all the time.
I had to come to watch.
[Cole] That's great. I gotta ask you, are you having fun with this crowd?
These people are great. This is wonderful.
You can't ask for a better night.
[Cole] What is it about the electricity of Raw? I mean--
Hey! You wanna interview a real boxer, you interview me.
[man] Sable, I love you!
Marc, I was talking to Butterbean. He's enjoying the evening.
He's enjoying Raw this evening.
I mean, this is an interview between Butterbean and myself.
Let me ask you a question.
Who have you ever beaten?
Some truck drivers?
Some unemployed steel workers?
Maybe some of these lousy Canadians?
-[crowd booing] -[imperceptible]
And when I come walking out with my manager
don't you ever touch her,
don't you ever look at her,
don't you ever come near her.
I am the real boxer.
-I am the star of this team! -What's your problem?
I'll tell you my problem.
I'm a real boxer. I know what it's like to fight.
I came to-- What's up?
You are a nobody.
You beat nobody.
I can knock you out in four rounds or less.
What's going on?
I'm gonna leave you with this.
You are the Pillsbury Doughboy.
And I am Superman.
Don't you ever look at Sable again!
-[JR] What? -Or you're gonna deal with me.
Look at me when I'm talking to you!
You gotta deal-- Look at me!
Look at me. You gotta deal with me!
[JR] Uh-oh! I don't think I'd do that.
Whoa, whoa! Stay back.
Ever! Don't ever touch her!
[JR] What, is Mero hallucinating?
[Lawler] He may have seen something we didn't see.
Come on, Butterbean. If you feel froggy, jump over that rail.
[man] Kick him, Butterbean.
[crowd yelling]
[Marc yelling]
[JR] Mero has just snapped. I don't--
You talk about an ego on an insecure human being.
[Cole] Butterbean, what was that all about?
[Butterbean] I'm trying to have a good time.
I'm training for a fight December 6th and I don't know what's going on.
I come to watch Raw, have a good time
and some idiot comes out and hollers.
[Cole] I don't-- You weren't-- I don't think you were looking at Sable?
She's an attractive lady. Who wouldn't?
I've been married but it's not like I'm wanting to go out with her. No!
[Cole] Butterbean just trying to have a good time. Back to ringside.
[JR] All right, well Mero making a fool of himself.
We apologize, Butterbean.
Ladies and gentlemen, stay tuned.
[JR] We are live, ladies and gentlemen, in Ottawa,
-the capital of Canada. Raw is War. -[bell ringing]
Kama is, uh, in the ring and of course, we await
the arrival of The Undertaker, King.
[Lawler] Well, you might anxiously await it. I don't.
[announcer] …Nation of Domination, Kama Mustafa!
[JR] Shamrock made a lasting impression on the Nation of Domination
at the Survivor Series,
but so did The Undertaker's brother, Kane.
-["Rest In Peace" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[announcer] And his opponent, from…
[Lawler] Uh-oh!
[announcer] …weighing in at 320 pounds,
The Undertaker!
[thunder rumbling]
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[JR] There is The Phenom.
So many people
like to use the word "icon."
Sounds like Larry King. I'm great, you're great, we're all great.
Everybody's an icon.
But there's only one Phenom.
And not since the late, great Andre the Giant
has there been an athlete that walks the face of this Earth
with as much presence,
with as much force,
as The Undertaker.
[Lawler] You know, JR, obviously the only exercise you get
is stretching the truth.
All I hear you do is sing the praises of The Undertaker.
If he's so great, if he's so tough, if he's such a Phenom,
why is he scared to face Kane?
[JR] I don't think it's about fear. I think it's about respect.
He doesn't want to fight his own flesh and blood.
Would you wanna fight your son, Brian?
[Lawler] Oh. Hey, I'll fight you in about 30 seconds.
I'll fight anybody that says they're gonna make my life a living hell
like Kane has said he's gonna do to the--
-[explosion] -[Lawler] Oh! What the…
[crowd cheering]
[JR] You know, the other person that we can ever remember
with that sort of power, this mystic power as The Undertaker,
is his brother, Kane.
Again, I take my hat off to Mankind. What a battle.
Mankind going through tables.
Ladies and gentlemen, if you missed the Survivor Series,
if you missed Bret Hart's last match in the WWE,
if you missed the most controversial conclusion
to a WWE Championship Match in history,
the Encore is tomorrow night at 8/7 Central
throughout North America on pay-per-view.
Throughout North America on pay-per-view.
[bell ringing]
[JR] I certainly never, ever saw anything like it in my career.
And The Undertaker and this giant, Kama,
The Supreme Fighting Machine, hooking it up here.
And The Undertaker is in a very combative mood, as usual.
-But he better be against this big man… -[Lawler] Whoa!
…from the Nation of Domination,
with a big foot right to the face.
[Lawler] The Undertaker's wasting no time. He's taking it to Kama.
And I really thought, Kama matches up well against The Undertaker.
I mean, he's huge, he's got brute force, he's got a lot of power and strength.
But right now, he's not!
[JR] Look at the elevation! Tremendous athleticism.
There's a cover.
And The Supreme Fighting Machine
able to power out and get right back up to his feet.
[Lawler] Come on, Kama. Show some offense.
-[JR] Kama is a huge man. -[Lawler] Oh!
[JR] And as Jerry said, certainly, physically,
matches up very well with The Undertaker, who means business here.
Choking Kama.
[crowd cheering, whistling]
[JR] Undertaker now sending Kama for the ride.
[Lawler] Oh. Whoa!
[JR] But Kama caught The Undertaker coming in
and now it's Kama mounting that offense that Jerry Lawler requested
-on The Phenom. -[Lawler] There you go.
-Put it to him. -[JR] Look at those body shots.
[grunting]
[JR] Hard, hard body shots from this walking weapon.
This Kama who can hurt you with so many parts of his anatomy.
[Lawler] The Undertaker's covering up.
-[JR] What a kick right to the ribs. -[Lawler] Ooh!
[JR] And a straight overhand right by Kama.
[Lawler] Don't let him rest. Stay on him.
[Kama grunts]
[JR] Kama now,
trying to chop down this big redwood tree.
Certainly easier said than done.
-[crowd yells] -[grunts]
And what a 24-hour period we've had here in the WWE
and it's not over.
-[Lawler] Look out! -[JR] Uh-oh!
[crowd cheering]
-[Lawler] This may be over. -[JR] Uh-oh!
It could be a chokeslam.
-A giant chokeslam! -[Lawler screams]
[crowd cheering]
[JR] And that should be all.
The Under-- Look at Kama, right back up.
He is wobbly and he's knocked right outside.
-The Undertaker-- Oh! -[crowd yells]
-[Lawler] Hey. -[JR] Wait a minute.
[Lawler] Where did the power--
["Burned" playing]
[JR] Oh, my God. It's Kane.
[Lawler] Here we go.
-[thunderclap] -[explosion]
[Lawler] Where you going, Ross?
Deadman!
Yes you, zombie!
It would be so easy right now
for Kane to walk down this ramp
and send you to your eternal damnation!
But that's not what he wants.
He wants you to suffer.
He wants you to suffer
just like he did, for 20 long years
for the sin that you committed!
Undertaker,
you must face your little brother,
one-on-one,
no interference.
No excuses.
So Kane can prove to all your leeches of the night
that he is superior.
Oh, yes!
And all of that, Undertaker, will be on your head.
[crowd whistling]
Paul,
you need to shut up
before I come up that ramp and rip your throat out.
[crowd cheering]
Now, Kane,
this ain't the place.
[crowd cheering]
And that bulbous figure
that stands beside you
is nothing more than an infectious disease.
And it's obvious that he's poisoned your mind.
Somewhere,
behind that mask of evil,
is my little brother
and I know that there's something good left in you.
So, don't come at me
an an enemy.
Come to me as my brother.
Stand beside me.
Because there's one thing…
[crowd cheering]
There's one thing that'll never happen.
I will never fight you.
[crowd cheering]
You…
are like me.
You…
are flesh and blood.
My flesh and blood.
And I will not,
tonight or any other night,
fight you.
And if I have to destroy everybody in the World Wrestling Entertainment,
well then, so be it.
And, Paul, you will pay for what you're doing.
[crowd cheering]
Well then, Deadman,
all the agony that we cause
and all the souls that we destroy
will be your fault.
And for that,
you'll pay in the fires of hell!
[crowd booing]
-[explosion] -[Lawler] Oh!
-["Burned" playing] -[Bearer laughing]
[JR] Man, Kane is indestructible.
And, folks, you should have seen him last night
at the Survivor Series.
[JR] What a beautiful facility we are in tonight.
The privilege of being in Ottawa, Canada. The capital of Canada.
Tremendous crowd on hand.
Of course, King, this is the home of the, uh, not so powerful
Ottawa Senators.
[Lawler] I'm not too impressed by Canada, you know?
[JR] We're waiting on Ken Shamrock. He's taking on Triple H.
But last week, it was, uh, the World's Most Dangerous Man
going one-on-one with Shawn Michaels.
Helmsley attempted to get involved on that occasion.
And watch Michaels attempt the Sweet Chin Music.
You see a leg lace and then right into the ankle submission.
Michaels will tap out, the referee's distracted by Chyna.
But Michaels clearly gives up to the ankle submission.
[Lawler] I don't think he gave up.
In order to give up, you can't just tap out.
Yeah, look what happened right there.
You gotta say, "I give", like Bret Hart did last night.
[JR] Well, I don't know about that. That's an allegation, but…
Here comes the World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock.
Certainly, I would say a Survivor Series MVP
for his efforts in Montreal.
["The Ultimate" playing]
[JR] Shamrock about to step into his zone.
Ken Shamrock, the World's Most Dangerous Man,
made his name, he earned it
with blood, sweat and tears, as the old cliche goes,
-in the Octagon. -Cut the music.
-[JR] Oh, gosh. -[Lawler chuckles]
What I'd like to have right now…
[JR] Is some new material.
…is for all you fat, out of shape,
snowbound sweathogs,
button your lips, open your eyes
and show your respect
for the cornerstone of D-Generation X.
The current king of the ring
-and the future of professional wrestling… -["Break It Down" playing]
…Hunter Hearst-Helmsley!
[JR] Triple H.
Never leaves home without his Chyna, apparently.
And of course, the new WWE Champion, Shawn Michaels
wouldn't pass up a good opportunity
to, uh, increase the, uh, odds against the "World's Most Dangerous Man"
Ken Shamrock.
[Lawler] Well, Ken Shamrock said some pretty unflattering things about Chyna.
[JR] Okay, I'll admit, there's nothing, uh--
Wait a minute. What?
[JR] Commissioner Slaughter said earlier,
that Michaels, Rude, and Chyna will not be allowed at ringside.
-during this match-up. -[Lawler] What?
[JR] Michaels who will meet Ken Shamrock, it was signed earlier today.
Michaels will defend the WWE title in Springfield, Massachusetts
on Sunday, December 7th
at D-Generation X: In Your House.
And I don't know just how brave
the "Killer" Kowalski trained Triple H is gonna be
without his backup at ringside.
[Lawler] Oh, don't worry about Triple H.
Unless somebody like Sgt. Slaughter tries to stick his hand in there.
[JR] Serge is just, uh, trying to do his job.
The, uh, Commissioner.
[Lawler] He's not too popular in Canada, either.
-[bell ringing] -[JR] Shamrock is knuckled up early
and aggressively on Hunter Hearst-Helmsley.
And three knees to the solar plexus means trouble for Helmsley
who's knocked down by a right hand.
Helmsley better create some distance here
or this one is gonna be over in an eyelash.
[Lawler] Good move, good move.
That's good coaching there, JR.
I know that's what you would do. Run!
[JR] You'd never find me in there with Shamrock.
[Lawler] Look out, Triple H!
[both grunting]
[JR] Helmsley, trying to take the easy way out here.
And, uh, Shamrock, who's a real man's man…
[grunting]
Again those knees right to the solar plexus.
[referee] Come on.
[JR] And the referee, Mike Chioda,
allowing a little bit of leniency in this match-up it would seem.
[Lawler] Look out!
[JR] And Helmsley knocked right down the, uh, rampway.
-[grunting] -[crowd cheering]
[JR] Shamrock's gonna bust up the insides of Helmsley
with those knee shots.
We said earlier, Shamrock earned his reputation
-in the Octagon… -Ah!
…in the Ultimate Fighting World.
[grunting]
[Lawler] Shamrock's a tough guy.
-Don't sell Triple H short, either. -[JR] Wouldn't do that.
[grunting]
[JR] Helmsley, former Intercontinental Champion.
-He is the reigning King of the Ring. -[Lawler] There you go.
Takes a King to know a king and I know that Triple H is double tough.
-[grunts] -[Lawler] Oh!
[JR] Well, Helmsley is liable to get his regal beak broken.
-And Helmsley with a good move. -[Lawler laughs] There you go.
[JR] Helmsley with certainly an experience advantage here, King,
as far as the catch-as-catch-can style is concerned with Shamrock.
[Lawler] Oh, man!
I bet he didn't see many of them in that Octagon.
[crowd chanting] We want Bret!
[JR] I don't think so.
The fans here chanting "We want Bret!"
Well, you're not gonna see him here.
[Lawler] I thought you were gonna talk about that.
Hey, he's gone.
You gotta wish him well.
He's gonna be making, I understand, about $3 million a year down there.
[referee] Come on, Hunter.
Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are, huh?
[indistinct shouting]
[Lawler] What do we here now?
[indistinct shouting]
-Oh yeah? -Yeah.
[Lawler] He's gonna fight the Serge.
[JR] We may have a-- That's not very, uh…
Well, this is a little bit shocking here.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh! -[JR] Here comes Rick Rude now.
We may have a fight with Helmsley and the Commissioner.
We'll be right back.
[JR] We are live. Thanks for being with us,
wherever you may be in North America watching on TSN or the USA Network.
Hunter Hearst-Helmsley against Ken Shamrock.
-One-on-one. -[Lawler] Look out!
[JR] And Helmsley buries a knee to the abdomen.
Commissioner Slaughter and Helmsley having some, uh, rather
uncomplimentary things to say to each other
and of course, the, uh, "World's Most Dangerous Insurance Man,"
"Ravishing" Rick Rude.
-[Lawler] We got him. -[JR] Cover!
No, he didn't get three.
[Lawler] I think Sgt. Slaughter better be glad
that Rick Rude came down to ringside because if he hadn't,
I believe that Triple H might have punched Sgt. Slaughter
right in that big glass jaw of his.
[JR] Well, I'll tell you, Slaughter has been known
to have some, uh, pretty good go-arounds in those fists of his.
[Lawler] Oh, I know it.
[crowd chanting] We want Bret! We want Bret!
[JR] Shamrock down the outside.
And Shamrock just rammed into the, uh, steel steps by Hunter Hearst-Helmsley.
[Lawler] That's a good go-around right there. [laughs]
[JR] Well, tonight we've had a confrontation between
the, uh, 18-time Toughman Boxing Champion, Butterbean
and Marc Mero.
Taka Michinoku advanced in the Light Heavyweight Tournament.
[Lawler] You had "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher.
-[JR] Yeah. He looked good. -[Lawler] What a night.
[JR] He's got your eyes, you know?
Is that your boy? I'm gonna finish him off.
[crowd yelling]
[JR] Well, Helmsley again. You know this…
This DX thing is just gonna be contagious.
When you get in it, you become a jerk automatically.
-And look at Shamrock. -[both grunting]
Shamrock with those body shots.
And nothing legal about those closed fists but, man, they are deadly.
And Shamrock, who has a propensity to snap.
And when Shamrock snaps, King…
There's an inverted atomic drop.
I was about to say, when Shamrock snaps, he gets really dangerous.
[Lawler laughs] Right. But something else just got snapped.
-[JR] Easy now. -[Lawler laughs]
I love it
At least Triple H just saved these idiotic Canadians
the embarrassment of not being able to count to ten.
-[grunting] -[JR] High knee by Hunter Hearst-Helmsley.
[JR] He's got him now. He's hooked.
[JR] Ken Shamrock with that great leg strength able to power out.
And Shamrock was down two men to one at the Survivor Series.
Comes back with two submissions.
-…two, three! -[JR] Using that ankle lock
for two submissions
to become the sole survivor for his team.
Told you, stay off his…
[JR] Yeah he was an animal, was Shamrock at the Survivor Series.
[Lawler] Looks like we need a bunch of animals, more animals here in the WWE.
Open the fists up!
[Lawler] Pound him.
Looks sort of animal-like now. Looks like a little whipped puppy.
[JR] That Survivor Series in Montreal…
What do you say, huh?
…just hours ago, will be talked about for years to come
in the industry.
And the encore tomorrow night.
Bret Hart's last match. We wish the legendary Bret Hart well.
What a tremendous 21-year career he has had.
As Shamrock uses his strength and falls back with Helmsley.
And now, Shamrock attempting to fight back and gain the advantage.
[Lawler] The industry will talk about the amount of money Bret's gonna make.
Because all of the other guys in that nWo or whatever that thing is,
are gonna be, uh, checking out their contracts.
[JR] Shamrock fighting back now. Right hands, the pace intensifies.
Oh, Shamrock with a kick right to the chest.
Shamrock now, trying to find the cover. Hooked the near leg.
And got a near fall and Shamrock fights back.
And I don't think Helmsley wants any more of Ken Shamrock
or that's what it would seem.
-Irish whip coming. -[Lawler] Look out!
[JR] And Shamrock! Well, I'll tell you what about Shamrock!
-Shamrock in the driver's seat. -[Lawler] Hey! Look at this.
[JR] Commissioner Slaughter pulling down "Ravishing" Rick Rude.
[Lawler] You can't put your hands on him, Slaughter.
[JR] Rude looked like he was gonna interfere with that darn briefcase.
[indistinct shouting]
-A thumb to the eye by Helmsley. -[grunts]
And… Oh, Helmsley! What the hell was…
Helmsley just nailed the referee. A blatant shot!
-[grunts] -There's a belly-to-belly suplex!
-Here comes Chyna! -[crowd cheering]
The referee is knocked out and the--
[Lawler] What is he doing?
[JR] Slaughter's restraining… Oh, the tap out!
First it was The Hitman, then Shawn Michaels
and now Helmsley!
And Michaels with a knockout!
Not a tap out!
The WWE Champion…
And what a thunderous blow to the back of the head.
I think Shawn Michaels is afraid of Ken Shamrock.
[Sgt. Slaughter] Get out of here.
[JR] We've got-- Folks, we'll see you next week.
Goodnight, everybody!
[crowd cheering] ody!
