Wait. Another referee counts to 10.

unceremoniously dismantled and disgraced

18
00:00:52,199 --> 00:00:55,400
by unlikely allies
bound by a common desire

19
00:00:55,466 --> 00:00:57,333
to denigrate and humiliate.

[Cornette] JR, in 15 years, nobody,

nobody has ever treated
the Road Warriors like this.

30
00:01:30,133 --> 00:01:32,899

00:01:32,966 --> 00:01:36,166

and, uh, we are prepared
for any holiday surprise

57
00:03:24,133 --> 00:03:25,566
that they might spring on us.

what those men are wearing, if anything,

62
00:03:40,766 --> 00:03:42,700
under those robes.

67
00:03:52,766 --> 00:03:54,366
We're wondering-- We have an idea

68
00:03:54,433 --> 00:03:56,366
of what they may have
underneath those robes,

69
00:03:56,433 --> 00:03:59,100
what they may not have on
underneath those robes.

70
00:03:59,766 --> 00:04:02,200

just in case we need it.

who knows what they'll do,
who knows what they won't do here tonight.

the destruction of The Legion of Doom?

00:04:35,666 --> 00:04:39,133
And also the behavior
of the New Age Outlaws.

[crowd cheering]

83
00:04:47,833 --> 00:04:52,466

World Wrestling Entertainment

have been good little boys and girls.

86
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,833
[Kevin Patrick] Absolutely. JR?

especially for you.

to take care of first.

00:05:19,900 --> 00:05:21,400
Tell them, Triple H.

94
00:05:25,133 --> 00:05:31,066
The Legion of Doom, the Road Warriors,

95
00:05:31,133 --> 00:05:33,900

96
00:05:33,966 --> 00:05:36,566
in the history of the world,

97
00:05:36,633 --> 00:05:41,300
a career some 15 years in the making,

98
00:05:41,366 --> 00:05:45,166

00:05:45,233 --> 00:05:48,166

100
00:05:48,233 --> 00:05:50,833
to a screaming halt.

101
00:05:52,599 --> 00:05:54,233
And that brings me

102
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:02,033
to the New Age Outlaws,
the Road Dogg and Billy Gunn.

103
00:06:04,433 --> 00:06:07,599
We hear you two boys wanna take credit

104
00:06:08,166 --> 00:06:09,833
for ending the careers…

105
00:06:11,833 --> 00:06:13,433
of the Road Warriors.

106
00:06:14,666 --> 00:06:15,766
Well, boys…

107
00:06:18,166 --> 00:06:20,366
you come along like a couple of vultures

108

picking the bones off our kill

109
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,733
and that's all it was.

110
00:06:25,733 --> 00:06:29,333
If you know what's best for you
and you know what's best for your health,

111
00:06:29,833 --> 00:06:32,000
you'll stay out of D-X's business.

112
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,799
Now, Owen Hart,

113
00:06:36,299 --> 00:06:39,799

the little nugget…

can you be, "nugget"?

-Go ahead and cheer for him

117
00:06:48,733 --> 00:06:50,599
because you see last week,

118
00:06:52,099 --> 00:06:56,900
I won the prestigious
rock, paper, scissor contest

119
00:06:56,966 --> 00:07:01,733
between the greatest player ever,
the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels.

120
00:07:01,799 --> 00:07:06,066
You see, I got the scissors,
he got the paper, and what that means,

121
00:07:06,133 --> 00:07:09,133
is I get Owen handed to me
on a silver platter.

122
00:07:09,799 --> 00:07:10,866
Owen Hart,

123
00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:13,433
I'm gonna be your worst nightmare

124
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:16,366
and send you packing
to where you belong to, pal.

125
00:07:17,666 --> 00:07:20,599
And Owen, since you're the baby,

126
00:07:21,566 --> 00:07:24,333
if you need a pacifier to suck on,

127
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,833
come see Triple H
'cause I'm sure I got one for you.

128
00:07:27,900 --> 00:07:28,900
[Ross] Oh, come on.

129
00:07:29,500 --> 00:07:30,700

They're amusing themselves, aren't they?

131

-Shawn versus Undertaker, January 18th.
-Undertaker,

135
00:07:45,433 --> 00:07:50,433
you couldn't beat me the first time,
you couldn't beat me the second time,

136
00:07:50,500 --> 00:07:56,666
and believe me, the third time
is not gonna be a charm for you.

137
00:07:57,466 --> 00:08:03,233
At Hell in a Cell, I beat you
like a redheaded stepchild.

138
00:08:03,299 --> 00:08:05,700
[Kevin Patrick] What?
How about 18 stitches, Shawn,

139
00:08:05,766 --> 00:08:06,700
you remember that?

140
00:08:07,833 --> 00:08:13,433
And Undertaker,
you can ask any woman in the world,

141
00:08:13,500 --> 00:08:18,900
the Heartbreak Kid does not rest in peace.

142
00:08:19,666 --> 00:08:25,066
As a matter of fact,
he can stay up all night.

143

151
00:08:48,699 --> 00:08:50,400
-That--
-[Ross] Not so bad. That's, uh,

152
00:08:50,466 --> 00:08:53,366
those holiday boxers,
I think that'll pass our censors.

153

on that offer?

00:09:41,666 --> 00:09:44,966
-Put that yuletide log in your fireplace.
-[Ross] Oh.

172
00:09:45,633 --> 00:09:46,866
[Kevin Patrick] Oh, look out.

173
00:09:46,933 --> 00:09:47,966
[Shawn] Uh-oh.

174
00:09:48,033 --> 00:09:50,566
-Here comes Sgt. Slaughter, Triple H.
-[Ross] The commissioner.

175
00:09:50,633 --> 00:09:55,066
He's been in boot camp
for a long time to ensure he suggest

176
00:09:55,133 --> 00:09:58,533
we put our robes on and not drop the soap.

177
00:09:59,733 --> 00:10:01,699
[Cole] Commissioner Slaughter
heading to the ring.

178
00:10:01,766 --> 00:10:05,500
Wonder what Christmas present
he has for D-Generation X tonight?

179
00:10:10,233 --> 00:10:11,733
D-Generation X,

180
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:15,466
since it's so close to Christmas,

181
00:10:16,966 --> 00:10:19,699
and I'm in the Christmas spirit,

182
00:10:21,133 --> 00:10:25,166
I have a present for both
of you two degenerates.

183
00:10:26,933 --> 00:10:28,600
-[Ross] Three.
-We love presents.

184
00:10:29,533 --> 00:10:33,333
Shawn Michaels, you have not
defended your European Title

185
00:10:34,666 --> 00:10:36,600
-in 30 days.
-[Cole] Thirty days?

186
00:10:36,666 --> 00:10:39,933
-[Kevin Patrick] Yeah, at least.
-In fact, you haven't defended that title

187
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,766
-in over 60 days.
-[Kevin Patrick] That's more like it.

188
00:10:44,300 --> 00:10:47,833
I've been busy, in case
you haven't noticed, chump change.

189
00:10:47,900 --> 00:10:50,300
I'm the World Wrestling
Entertainment Champion

190
00:10:50,366 --> 00:10:52,466
and don't you forget it.

191
00:10:52,533 --> 00:10:54,199
[crowd cheering]

192
00:10:58,300 --> 00:11:02,033
Well, while I'm still
in the Christmas spirit,

193
00:11:02,933 --> 00:11:06,666
you're either gonna defend
that title here tonight on Raw…

194
00:11:06,733 --> 00:11:08,166
[crowd cheering]

195
00:11:08,666 --> 00:11:09,566
[Kevin Patrick] Wow.

196
00:11:09,633 --> 00:11:12,300
…against an opponent of my choosing

197
00:11:13,233 --> 00:11:17,066
or I'm gonna strip you
of that title here tonight on Raw.

198
00:11:17,833 --> 00:11:20,366
First of all, the Heartbreak Kid

199
00:11:20,433 --> 00:11:23,733
isn't afraid to be stripped of anything,

200
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,800
in case you haven't noticed, nimrod.

201
00:11:26,866 --> 00:11:30,199
-But the fact to the matter is…
-[Ross] Got that loud and clear earlier.

202
00:11:30,333 --> 00:11:32,699
…I don't give away belts for anybody.

203
00:11:33,233 --> 00:11:36,900
I will defend this title against anybody,

204
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,833
anywhere, anytime, pal.

205
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:44,866
[Cole] It could be Slaughter's revenge
tonight for D-Generation X.

206
00:11:44,933 --> 00:11:47,400
[Sgt. Slaughter] Well, okay,
Shawn Michaels,

207
00:11:48,133 --> 00:11:51,133
The Showstopper, The Main Event-er…

208
00:11:51,199 --> 00:11:54,966
-[Kevin Patrick] Yada, yada, yada.
-…your opponent tonight will be

209
00:11:56,633 --> 00:11:59,433
-Hunter Hearst-Helmsley.
-[Cole] Wow.

210
00:11:59,500 --> 00:12:01,600
[Ross] Oh, that's--
That's not what they wanted.

211
00:12:01,666 --> 00:12:05,900
-[Cole] Merry Christmas, Shawn.
-[Ross] Slaughter Claus has spoken.

212
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,333
You're wrestling him
for the title right here tonight.

213
00:12:10,433 --> 00:12:11,533
[Cole] Oh, no.

214
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:12,766
-[Kevin Patrick laughs]
-Yes, you are.

215
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:17,033
-[Kevin Patrick] A treat for the fans.
-Merry Christmas. [laughs]

216
00:12:18,333 --> 00:12:20,666
[Ross] The destruction of D-Generation X

217
00:12:20,733 --> 00:12:23,400
-could occur before our eyes…
-[Sgt. Slaughter] It doesn't matter…

218
00:12:23,466 --> 00:12:24,333
[Ross] …here tonight.

219
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,866
[Sgt. Slaughter] …what you're
huddling up and talking about.

220
00:12:26,933 --> 00:12:29,333
You're either gonna defend
the title tonight against him

221
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,333
or I'm taking the title away from you.

222
00:12:31,900 --> 00:12:33,400
[Ross] It's non-negotiable.

223
00:12:34,033 --> 00:12:36,066
[Kevin Patrick]
Would Shawn's ego get in the way?

224
00:12:36,133 --> 00:12:39,266
Would he actually fight his only friend
in the World Wrestling Entertainment?

225
00:12:39,833 --> 00:12:42,433
[Cole] They're obviously
discussing that now, huddling up.

226
00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:45,133
[Kevin Patrick]
I bet Shawn hands the belt over.

227
00:12:45,199 --> 00:12:47,533
I wouldn't be surprised
if he doesn't wanna face Triple H.

228
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,666
Listen, I know all you're trying to do

229
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,300
is ruin D-X right before Christmas.

230
00:12:54,366 --> 00:12:56,900
You're trying to ruin
Shawn Michaels' Christmas

231
00:12:56,966 --> 00:12:59,266
with me beating him
and taking the European Title from him

232
00:12:59,366 --> 00:13:00,599
right before Christmas.

233
00:13:00,666 --> 00:13:04,466
-I can see what you're trying to--
-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

234
00:13:04,533 --> 00:13:10,133
I was, uh… I was with you up until
the point where you said you'd beat me.

235
00:13:11,166 --> 00:13:14,833
-[Kevin Patrick] A little animosity now.
-Uh, with all due respect, Triple H,

236
00:13:15,333 --> 00:13:21,633
you don't get to wear a belt
on each shoulder by being a… loser.

237
00:13:21,699 --> 00:13:22,699
[crowd cheering]

238
00:13:22,766 --> 00:13:24,566
[Kevin Patrick] A rift,
a possible rift in D-X.

239
00:13:24,633 --> 00:13:25,766
So…

240
00:13:26,933 --> 00:13:30,266
in case you don't know,
maybe you should ask around

241
00:13:30,333 --> 00:13:36,733
because the Heartbreak Kid
doesn't lay down for anybody.

242
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,133
-[crowd cheering]
-[Cole] It's set for tonight, folks.

243
00:13:39,199 --> 00:13:40,599
What a Christmas present.

244
00:13:40,666 --> 00:13:44,000
Could it be the destruction
of D-Generation X?

245
00:13:44,066 --> 00:13:48,699
Shawn Michaels, Triple H,
the European Championship on the line.

246
00:13:48,766 --> 00:13:50,300
Chyna, she's caught in the middle.

247
00:13:50,366 --> 00:13:51,966
Who's side is she gonna be on?

248
00:13:52,033 --> 00:13:54,933
[Kevin Patrick] Plus, Michael,
still to come on Raw tonight,

249
00:13:55,033 --> 00:13:57,599
The Phenom of the World Wrestling
Entertainment, The Undertaker,

250
00:13:57,666 --> 00:14:00,333
will face the Intercontinental Champ,
The Rock.

251
00:14:03,533 --> 00:14:05,699
[Cole] Welcome back
to this holiday edition of Raw,

252
00:14:05,766 --> 00:14:07,433
brought to you tonight by Burger King.

253
00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:11,000
Try the new Burger King fries,
the taste that beat McDonald fries.

254
00:14:11,066 --> 00:14:12,766
[Kevin Patrick] Also by JAKKS.

255
00:14:12,933 --> 00:14:15,500
Collect tag team series,
number one from JAKKS.

256
00:14:15,566 --> 00:14:17,500
Available at most retailers.

257
00:14:17,566 --> 00:14:20,066
[Ross] And by SKITTLES, bite size candies.

258
00:14:20,133 --> 00:14:22,400
Taste the rainbow of fruit flavors.

259
00:14:22,466 --> 00:14:24,566
Thanks for joining us
in this holiday edition of Raw.

260
00:14:24,633 --> 00:14:27,233
Still to come right here tonight,
Shawn Michaels has been ordered

261
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:30,000
to defend the European Championship
against Triple H.

262
00:14:30,066 --> 00:14:31,933
Could it be the end of D-Generation X?

263
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,266
It could very well be, Michael.

264
00:14:33,333 --> 00:14:36,333
Plus, we understand Mankind
is in the bowels of the building.

265
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,133
We've dispatched a camera crew,
and supposedly, Mankind has something

266
00:14:39,199 --> 00:14:41,599
to say about what happened
to Dude Love right here last week.

267
00:14:41,666 --> 00:14:44,033
[Cole] JR, that at the hands
of the New Age Outlaws.

268
00:14:44,099 --> 00:14:45,433
[Ross] Let me tell you one thing.

269
00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:47,366
Mankind isn't looking
for Road Dogg and Billy

270
00:14:47,433 --> 00:14:48,800
to exchange Christmas cards.

271
00:14:48,866 --> 00:14:51,166
Happy holidays, Tag Team Champs.

272
00:14:55,166 --> 00:14:57,733
[Kevin Patrick] And of course,
The Headbangers and Godwinns,

273
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,633
no strangers this past Saturday night,
Shotgun Saturday Night.

274
00:15:00,699 --> 00:15:04,400
Godwinns were on their way to win
when the slop bucket was introuduced,

275
00:15:04,466 --> 00:15:06,266
although not the way prescribed, JR.

276
00:15:06,333 --> 00:15:09,099
[Ross] Certainly wasn't.
Henry made a mistake, knocked out Phineas

277
00:15:09,166 --> 00:15:10,699
and The Headbangers for the victory.

278
00:15:10,766 --> 00:15:12,733
But we're gonna have
one-on-one competition here

279
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,266
between two teams that have, uh,
both worn WWE Tag Team gold.

280
00:15:17,333 --> 00:15:18,933
-Michael Cole has left.
-["Slop" playing]

281
00:15:19,033 --> 00:15:21,199
I think he's gonna try to get
a word with the Godwinns.

282
00:15:21,266 --> 00:15:22,633
But folks, right here tonight,

283
00:15:22,699 --> 00:15:24,500
Shawn Michaels and Hunter Hearst-Helmsley,

284
00:15:24,566 --> 00:15:25,966
can you believe that?

285
00:15:26,033 --> 00:15:28,199
One-on-one for the European Title.

286
00:15:29,099 --> 00:15:33,666
And, uh, Michael Cole making his way
to visit with The Godwinns.

287
00:15:34,233 --> 00:15:35,400
Michael?

288
00:15:35,466 --> 00:15:39,233
Henry, last week on Shotgun,
The Headbangers outsmarted you.

289
00:15:39,300 --> 00:15:41,166
-Tonight, you get a--
-They didn't outsmart us.

290
00:15:41,233 --> 00:15:45,333
Everybody is entitled to a luck…
to get lucky once in a while.

291
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,033
But tonight,
we're gonna get sweet revenge.

292
00:15:48,099 --> 00:15:49,766
Revenge is gonna be ugly.

293
00:15:49,833 --> 00:15:54,166
And as far as the New Age Outlaws,
you boys are crazier than hell

294
00:15:54,233 --> 00:15:55,900
if you think we forgot about you.

295
00:15:55,966 --> 00:15:58,233
You owe us a title shot, remember?

296
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,133
[Ross] I'll tell you one thing,

297
00:16:00,233 --> 00:16:04,000
between, uh, D-Generation X's
animosity at the New Age Outlaws,

298
00:16:04,066 --> 00:16:07,900
The Godwinns, and certainly,
the top of the list, The Legion of Doom,

299
00:16:07,966 --> 00:16:11,166
the New Age Outlaws aren't
making friends fast, here at the holidays.

300
00:16:11,233 --> 00:16:13,066
[Kevin Patrick] Certainly not.
But this promises to be

301
00:16:13,133 --> 00:16:15,366
a very physical single match-up.

302
00:16:15,433 --> 00:16:18,633
Thrasher of The Headbangers
taking on Henry Godwinn.

303
00:16:18,699 --> 00:16:21,000
What is that that
Phineas has in his mouth?

304
00:16:22,933 --> 00:16:25,466
[Ross] Well, I hate to guess,
but it is the holiday season,

305
00:16:25,533 --> 00:16:27,900
but in any event,
it is, uh, Henry Godwinn and…

306
00:16:27,966 --> 00:16:31,433
and, uh, Thrasher, one-on-one here.
Michael Cole has joined us again.

307
00:16:32,433 --> 00:16:36,366
[Cole] Thrasher now going to work
on the left arm of Henry Godwinn.

308
00:16:36,433 --> 00:16:39,300
The feud, the rivalry
between these two teams, well-documented.

309
00:16:39,366 --> 00:16:41,866
Both former WWE Tag Team Champions.

310
00:16:41,933 --> 00:16:44,133
Phineas that time
grabbing the ankle of Thrasher,

311
00:16:44,199 --> 00:16:47,333
Henry capitalizes with a big clothesline.

312
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,333
[Kevin Patrick] Henry drilled Thrasher
there with the clothesline.

313
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,533
And what about, uh, boy, D-X?

314
00:16:52,599 --> 00:16:54,000
[crowd chanting]

315
00:16:54,066 --> 00:16:56,366
Possible separation, animosity, who knows?

316
00:16:56,433 --> 00:16:59,033
I mean, they're on the cover
of the WWE magazine this month

317
00:16:59,099 --> 00:17:01,433
and it could be splitsville already.

318
00:17:01,500 --> 00:17:04,966
[Cole] Big boot that time by Thrasher,
catches Henry, too slow into the corner.

319
00:17:05,033 --> 00:17:06,833
Folks, still to come tonight on Raw,

320
00:17:06,899 --> 00:17:09,966
The Undertaker takes on The Rock.

321
00:17:10,066 --> 00:17:11,666
What a match-up that's gonna be.

322
00:17:11,733 --> 00:17:14,366
-Thrasher now… Oh!
-[Ross] I'll tell you one thing right now.

323
00:17:14,433 --> 00:17:17,700
The whole situation between Shawn Michaels
and Hunter Hearst-Helmsley

324
00:17:17,766 --> 00:17:18,866
is about one thing.

325
00:17:18,933 --> 00:17:20,500
There's one common denominator.

326
00:17:20,566 --> 00:17:24,833
They both have massive egos
that are obviously out of control.

327
00:17:24,899 --> 00:17:28,399
[Cole] Thrasher off the top rope,
flying tackle. Here's the cover now.

328
00:17:28,466 --> 00:17:30,966
Phineas with the save.
He's not even involved in this match-up.

329
00:17:31,033 --> 00:17:33,166
-Now, the bell rings. That'll be it.
-[bell dinging]

330
00:17:33,233 --> 00:17:35,833
Mosh going to work now
at Phineas, all four men in the ring.

331
00:17:35,899 --> 00:17:37,733
Thrasher though is injured.

332
00:17:37,899 --> 00:17:38,966
It's two-on-one.

333
00:17:39,766 --> 00:17:42,233
Uh-oh, watch out. Slop Drop coming. Oh!

334
00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:43,500
[bell dinging]

335
00:17:43,566 --> 00:17:47,500
Henry delivering
the Slop Drop to Mosh. Wait a minute.

336
00:17:47,566 --> 00:17:49,566
-[crowd cheering]
-[Ross] Leather straps.

337
00:17:50,066 --> 00:17:53,466
[Cole] They're the kings of the country
whipping matches, The Godwinns.

338
00:17:53,533 --> 00:17:57,633
[Ross] Oh, The Headbangers are
taking an unwanted trip to the woodshed.

339
00:17:58,133 --> 00:18:00,833
And The Godwinns are…
they're just whipping

340
00:18:00,899 --> 00:18:02,800
the fire out of The Headbangers

341
00:18:02,866 --> 00:18:04,633
like two government mules here.

342
00:18:05,933 --> 00:18:07,266
[Cole] The Godwinns said earlier,

343
00:18:07,333 --> 00:18:10,700
they want their shots
at the WWE Tag Team Championship

344
00:18:10,766 --> 00:18:12,766
against the New Age Outlaws,

345
00:18:12,833 --> 00:18:15,766
taking out their vengeance
on The Headbangers tonight.

346
00:18:15,833 --> 00:18:17,100
[crowd chanting]

347
00:18:17,166 --> 00:18:20,633
[Cole] And the audience, chanting,
cheering for The Legion of Doom.

348
00:18:20,700 --> 00:18:23,533
Folks, we're gonna try to get things
back together here in the arena.

349
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,300
But right now, let's take you
back to two weeks ago

350
00:18:26,366 --> 00:18:29,833
when Dude Love's ordeal started
with the New Age Outlaws.

351
00:18:29,899 --> 00:18:31,533
[sinister music playing]

352
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,066
[Kevin Patrick] Two weeks ago,
Dude Love's troubles

353
00:18:35,133 --> 00:18:39,366
with the New Age Outlaws
began with a victory over Billy Gunn.

354
00:18:39,966 --> 00:18:40,800
[bell dinging]

355
00:18:41,766 --> 00:18:43,066
[Ross] Road Dogg's got a chair.

356
00:18:44,033 --> 00:18:46,966
-[audience exclaim]
-[Ross] Oh! Good Lord, have mercy.

357
00:18:47,066 --> 00:18:49,800
What a shot
right to the skull with a steel chair.

358
00:18:50,733 --> 00:18:52,933
[Cole] The New Age Outlaws
didn't stop there,

359
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,466
and neither did the beating.

360
00:18:54,966 --> 00:18:57,166
[Ross] Road Dogg placing those belts

361
00:18:57,233 --> 00:19:01,200
right across the throat,
right across the face of Dude Love.

362
00:19:02,633 --> 00:19:04,200
[crowd exclaims]

363
00:19:04,266 --> 00:19:06,500
[Ross] Dude Love, he's out of it.

364
00:19:06,566 --> 00:19:07,800
Dude Love is hurt.

365
00:19:09,300 --> 00:19:10,600
[Kevin Patrick] Battered but not broken,

366
00:19:10,666 --> 00:19:12,600
Dude Love was in action
just one week later.

367
00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:17,266
This time, taking on the other half
of the New Age Outlaws, the Road Dogg.

368
00:19:18,300 --> 00:19:20,266
-[bell dinging]
-[Ross] Dude wins again.

369
00:19:20,333 --> 00:19:21,566
Two weeks in a row.

370
00:19:22,133 --> 00:19:26,666
[Cole] And Dude Love makes it two for two
against the WWE Tag Team Champions.

371
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,600
[Ross] Unable to accept defeat,

372
00:19:28,666 --> 00:19:32,266
the New Age Outlaws
physically damaged Dude Love on the stage.

373
00:19:32,333 --> 00:19:35,233
Then, the unthinkable happened.

374
00:19:36,733 --> 00:19:37,933
-[Ross] Wait,
-[Cole] Oh, no.

375
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,500
[Cole] He landed on his back.

376
00:19:42,566 --> 00:19:43,899
[Ross] Well, this is bad.

377
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,100
[Cole] We need medical attention
down there for Dude Love.

378
00:19:47,166 --> 00:19:48,399
[man] Get some help!

379
00:19:52,666 --> 00:19:54,566
-[Ross] Oh, no.
-[Kevin Patrick] Oh, come on.

380
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,300
[Cole] This is despicable.

381
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,166
[Ross] Dude Love is hurt,
and he is hurt very badly.

382
00:20:02,233 --> 00:20:03,633
We need help immediately.

383
00:20:04,166 --> 00:20:06,866
[Kevin Patrick] Last week,
the New Age Outlaws wallowed

384
00:20:06,933 --> 00:20:09,233
in wickedness.
Will there be payback tonight?

385
00:20:09,733 --> 00:20:11,866
[Cole] That payback could
come in the form of Mankind,

386
00:20:11,933 --> 00:20:13,033
Dude Love's alter ego.

387
00:20:13,100 --> 00:20:15,066
Our cameras have caught up with Mankind

388
00:20:15,133 --> 00:20:17,133
somewhere in the bowels of the building.

389
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,500
I know what you're thinking.

390
00:20:19,933 --> 00:20:23,833
Here's Mankind,
jumping to Dude Love's defense,

391
00:20:24,399 --> 00:20:27,266
and why don't you just
let him fight his own battles?

392
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,233
You see, there's an interesting phenomenon

393
00:20:30,300 --> 00:20:33,433
that occurs when you break
Dude Love's ribs.

394
00:20:34,333 --> 00:20:35,600
Mine hurt too!

395
00:20:36,500 --> 00:20:39,833
And I don't want to spend
this holiday season in pain.

396
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,133
I wanna drink eggnog around the fire.

397
00:20:43,899 --> 00:20:46,566
I wanna make the yuletide cake!

398
00:20:47,566 --> 00:20:52,300
So, New Age Outlaws,
I do feel it this time of year,

399
00:20:52,366 --> 00:20:55,733
it is better to give than to receive.

400
00:20:56,266 --> 00:20:59,300
And I will give you
the beatings of your life

401
00:21:00,166 --> 00:21:02,233
and you will receive them.

402
00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:05,266
It's the fight before Christmas.

403
00:21:06,033 --> 00:21:07,633
Have a nice day.

404
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,666
[Ross] Road Dogg and Billy were not
wise men in crossing Dude Love.

405
00:21:11,733 --> 00:21:13,633
Yuletide beatings are coming up.

406
00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:15,700
[Cole] JR, speaking of
the holiday season, up next,

407
00:21:15,766 --> 00:21:18,066
exclusive footage
of what you missed last week.

408
00:21:18,133 --> 00:21:20,600
Stone Cold visits old St. Nick.

409
00:21:21,133 --> 00:21:22,600
…hell, a few years ago,

410
00:21:23,533 --> 00:21:26,100
when Stone Cold was about six years old,

411
00:21:27,100 --> 00:21:30,133
and had been a good little SOB all year.

412
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,566
[crowd cheering]

413
00:21:32,666 --> 00:21:35,200
[Santa] That's true. That's true.

414
00:21:36,333 --> 00:21:38,633
When I was six years old,
if you're the real Santa,

415
00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:40,466
what the hell did I asked for?

416
00:21:42,233 --> 00:21:43,333
[Cole] Welcome back to Raw,

417
00:21:43,399 --> 00:21:47,266
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin made
a lasting impression on everyone last week

418
00:21:47,333 --> 00:21:49,833
when he actually tossed
the Intercontinental belt

419
00:21:49,899 --> 00:21:51,800
off the Scammell Bridge in New Hampshire.

420
00:21:52,399 --> 00:21:55,333
Rock, you're the biggest
piece of trash I've ever saw.

421
00:21:55,866 --> 00:21:58,300
It hurts me to do this,
but I really don't give a damn

422
00:21:58,366 --> 00:21:59,933
about you or the WWE,

423
00:22:00,066 --> 00:22:01,866
So, I'll see your little belt later.

424
00:22:02,333 --> 00:22:03,700
[crowd cheering]

425
00:22:04,833 --> 00:22:07,533
-[splashes]
-And that's the bottom line,

426
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,966
because the three-one-six said so.

427
00:22:10,033 --> 00:22:12,100
[Cole] When the War Zone
went off the air last week,

428
00:22:12,166 --> 00:22:13,899
we had a visit from Santa Claus.

429
00:22:13,966 --> 00:22:15,899
He was actually expecting
Sable to come down

430
00:22:15,966 --> 00:22:18,433
and tell him if she'd been
naughty or nice this year.

431
00:22:18,500 --> 00:22:20,666
[Kevin Patrick] Jim Ross and Jim Cornette
were at ringside,

432
00:22:20,733 --> 00:22:23,266
and I guess, all eyes were awaiting Sable.

433
00:22:23,333 --> 00:22:26,600
Certainly, Santa Claus was anxious
to have Miss Slammy come down.

434
00:22:26,666 --> 00:22:29,533
I guess Santa had
a special present for Sable.

435
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,866
[crowd chanting] Sable! Sable!

436
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,500
Sable is not coming?

437
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:39,433
[crowd boos]

438
00:22:39,500 --> 00:22:41,033
Sable is not coming?

439
00:22:44,133 --> 00:22:45,866
[Cornette] Poor Santa, Sable's not coming.

440
00:22:45,933 --> 00:22:47,033
[Ross] I got that.

441
00:22:47,533 --> 00:22:50,233
-Everything's torn up around us.
-[Cornette] I don't think he's--

442
00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:51,666
[Ross] What a night this has been.

443
00:22:51,733 --> 00:22:53,533
[Cornette] Being chased
all over the building,

444
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,366
and I don't think Santa has figured out
he's not gonna get Sable here.

445
00:22:56,433 --> 00:22:57,633
[Ross] Are we even on?

446
00:22:58,666 --> 00:23:00,600
Hey, little boy, you're not Sable.

447
00:23:01,433 --> 00:23:02,466
[Ross] No.

448
00:23:03,866 --> 00:23:05,100
That's my present?

449
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,233
Well, I got to tell you
something, little boy.

450
00:23:09,133 --> 00:23:10,833
You're definitely not Sable.

451
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,566
-[Cornette] Somebody give that kid--
-You're not what Santa wanted

452
00:23:14,633 --> 00:23:16,399
for Christmas this year, little boy.

453
00:23:19,166 --> 00:23:21,866
Well, anyway, while I'm here,

454
00:23:22,500 --> 00:23:25,899
why don't you tell Santa Claus
and everyone here tonight

455
00:23:26,399 --> 00:23:28,166
what you really want for Christmas?

456
00:23:29,333 --> 00:23:31,266
You're not the real Santa Claus.

457
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,100
What do you mean
I'm not the real Santa Claus?

458
00:23:36,500 --> 00:23:38,399
What gives you the right, little boy,

459
00:23:38,466 --> 00:23:41,500
to tell me that I'm not
the real Santa Claus?

460
00:23:43,300 --> 00:23:45,833
Where did you get told
that I'm not Santa Claus?

461
00:23:45,899 --> 00:23:47,600
Why don't you go back and sit down there?

462
00:23:47,666 --> 00:23:49,600
-[Ross] That's not nice.
-Go back and sit down.

463
00:23:49,666 --> 00:23:51,733
I don't even wanna know
what you want for Christmas…

464
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,100
[Cornette] Who hurt this guy?
Has he been on the eggnog?

465
00:23:54,166 --> 00:23:57,033
-["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing]
-[Ross] Uh-oh. Well, uh…

466
00:23:57,100 --> 00:23:58,766
-[crowd cheering]
-…are we taking this?

467
00:23:58,833 --> 00:24:01,100
-[Santa laughing]
-[Cornette] If we weren't before,

468
00:24:01,166 --> 00:24:02,433
I bet we are now.

469
00:24:04,866 --> 00:24:06,300
Holy mackerel.

470
00:24:06,366 --> 00:24:09,600
[Ross] I reckon we're gonna find out
who's been naughty or nice.

471
00:24:09,666 --> 00:24:11,033
I think we know the answer.

472
00:24:12,066 --> 00:24:13,933
Here comes the Rattlesnake,

473
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,633
and I got a feeling
business is going to pick up.

474
00:24:22,133 --> 00:24:24,000
Merry Christmas, Mr. Austin.

475
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,666
[Cornette] You better stand up, St. Nick.

476
00:24:28,933 --> 00:24:30,833
[crowd cheering]

477
00:24:31,633 --> 00:24:33,866
-[Ross] This could be good.
-[Santa laughs]

478
00:24:34,366 --> 00:24:35,533
[Ross] Ho-ho this.

479
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,500
-Merry Christmas, Mr. Austin.
-Shut up.

480
00:24:40,100 --> 00:24:43,366
Ho-ho-ho-ho, oh, hell yeah.

481
00:24:44,033 --> 00:24:45,433
[crowd cheering]

482
00:24:45,966 --> 00:24:49,266
You come out here expecting Sable,
the kid comes out here,

483
00:24:50,100 --> 00:24:52,233
you kick the kid out of the ring?

484
00:24:52,733 --> 00:24:55,333
You shouldn't have done it.
You know what I'm saying?

485
00:24:55,766 --> 00:24:57,899
I expected Sable, Mr. Austin.

486
00:24:57,966 --> 00:24:59,766
I don't give a damn
who you're expecting, son.

487
00:24:59,833 --> 00:25:01,633
You don't kick the kid out of the ring.

488
00:25:02,633 --> 00:25:04,399
He said you weren't the real Santa.

489
00:25:05,266 --> 00:25:07,633
-I am the real Santa.
-So you're the real Santa?

490
00:25:09,333 --> 00:25:10,600
Yes, I'm the real Santa.

491
00:25:11,100 --> 00:25:14,399
Are you the real Santa
or you're just a fat piece of trash?

492
00:25:14,466 --> 00:25:16,600
[crowd cheering]

493
00:25:16,666 --> 00:25:17,933
I'm a little round.

494
00:25:18,433 --> 00:25:20,533
Oh, I didn't-- If you're the real Santa,

495
00:25:21,233 --> 00:25:22,833
hell, a few years ago,

496
00:25:23,666 --> 00:25:26,366
when Stone Cold was about six years old,

497
00:25:27,233 --> 00:25:29,966
and had been a good little SOB all year.

498
00:25:30,366 --> 00:25:31,500
[crowd cheering]

499
00:25:32,833 --> 00:25:35,300
[Santa] That's true. That's true.

500
00:25:36,466 --> 00:25:38,866
When I was six years old,
if you're the real Santa,

501
00:25:38,933 --> 00:25:40,566
what the hell did I ask for?

502
00:25:41,100 --> 00:25:44,833
Well, Santa's got to think
about that for a minute, Mr. Austin.

503
00:25:45,333 --> 00:25:47,100
[Stone Cold] Speak up, son.
I can't hear you.

504
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,933
Santa has to think about that, Mr. Austin.

505
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,800
It's been a long time ago.
Well, let me think, I know I've got it.

506
00:25:52,866 --> 00:25:54,066
It's in my mind.

507
00:25:54,199 --> 00:25:55,366
Um…

508
00:25:55,533 --> 00:25:57,866
-[Cornette] There's a lot of--
-I think it was

509
00:25:58,466 --> 00:26:01,100
a barbie doll and Tiddlywinks.

510
00:26:01,166 --> 00:26:05,766
Yes, that's what what it was.
You wanted a barbie doll and Tiddlywinks.

511
00:26:06,899 --> 00:26:09,399
It wasn't no barbie doll
and I can tell you what to do

512
00:26:09,466 --> 00:26:11,566
with every little one
of your little Tiddlywinks.

513
00:26:11,633 --> 00:26:13,366
[crowd cheering]

514
00:26:14,166 --> 00:26:15,699
That wasn't very nice, Mr. Austin,

515
00:26:15,766 --> 00:26:17,966
-to say to Santa.
-Let me take a little survey. Shut up.

516
00:26:18,666 --> 00:26:20,699
Let me take a little survey here, son.

517
00:26:20,766 --> 00:26:22,766
You're damn sure fat enough to be Santa.

518
00:26:23,366 --> 00:26:25,166
You got your little rosy cheeks.

519
00:26:27,733 --> 00:26:29,533
I really don't know what to think.

520
00:26:29,666 --> 00:26:31,966
Stand up, son.
Let me take a good look at you.

521
00:26:38,566 --> 00:26:40,966
Am I the real Santa Claus everyone?

522
00:26:41,666 --> 00:26:43,233
Am I the real Santa Claus?

523
00:26:43,300 --> 00:26:45,600
Can you say
he's the real Santa Claus or not?

524
00:26:45,666 --> 00:26:46,566
[audience chatter]

525
00:26:47,666 --> 00:26:49,233
[Stone Cold] He's not the Santa Claus?

526
00:26:50,766 --> 00:26:54,533
If he's not the real Santa Claus,
give me a hell no.

527
00:26:55,033 --> 00:26:56,933
[crowd shouts] Hell no.

528
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,399
[Cornette] Not looking good
for, uh, Kris Kringle there.

529
00:27:00,766 --> 00:27:06,300
Santa, straight from the bottom
of Stone Cold's heart,

530
00:27:07,033 --> 00:27:10,033
I got a little Christmas present
for you myself.

531
00:27:10,100 --> 00:27:11,333
[Ross exclaims]

532
00:27:11,399 --> 00:27:13,533
-[crowd cheering]
-[Ross] Oh, Stone Cold

533
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,600
just stunnered Santa Claus.

534
00:27:16,300 --> 00:27:18,600
[Cornette] He cracked Kris' kringle.

535
00:27:19,100 --> 00:27:21,866
-["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing]
-Oh, hell yeah!

536
00:27:21,933 --> 00:27:26,733
[Ross] Nobody but the Rattlesnake,
the Stone Cold Stunner to St. Nick.

537
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,366
[cheering continues]

538
00:27:30,333 --> 00:27:33,666
[Cornette] And he can be elected
mayor of this town for doing it.

539
00:27:35,833 --> 00:27:36,933
[Cornette exclaims]

540
00:27:37,766 --> 00:27:41,366
[Ross] Stone Cold assaulting Santa Claus.

541
00:27:51,466 --> 00:27:54,433
[Kevin Patrick] I think "Stone Cold"
Steve Austin proven it's nice sometimes

542
00:27:54,500 --> 00:27:55,866
to be naughty to a bogus Santa.

543
00:27:55,933 --> 00:27:58,533
[Cole] Tell you what, Kevin,
still more to come tonight on Raw.

544
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,333
-Wait, what's this?
-[indistinct argument]

545
00:28:00,399 --> 00:28:02,699
[Triple H] …like you needed help
doing that? Come on, man.

546
00:28:02,766 --> 00:28:05,166
All I was trying to do is prove
that I'm just as good as you.

547
00:28:05,233 --> 00:28:07,566
-I'm sick and tired of you walking around…
-[Shawn argues]

548
00:28:07,633 --> 00:28:10,266
-…telling everybody you're better than me.
-[Shawn] I've never--

549
00:28:10,333 --> 00:28:12,866
[Triple H] You're always
telling everybody you're The Icon,

550
00:28:12,933 --> 00:28:16,500
you're The Showstopper.
I'm just as good as you.

551
00:28:16,633 --> 00:28:19,566
-[Shawn] You can go to hell for all I-
-[Triple H] Yeah, get out of here.

552
00:28:20,066 --> 00:28:22,033
[Cole] Trouble in paradise perhaps for D-X

553
00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:25,500
as Shawn set to meet Triple H
for the European Title tonight.

554
00:28:25,566 --> 00:28:27,566
[Kevin Patrick] But up next,
The Undertaker collides

555
00:28:27,633 --> 00:28:31,366
with the Intercontinental Champion,
The Rock, that is next on Raw.

556
00:28:32,699 --> 00:28:33,966
[pensive music playing]

557
00:28:36,433 --> 00:28:38,266
[Ahmed] I know what you're thinking.

558
00:28:38,766 --> 00:28:40,666
[The Undertaker] I'm not a real athlete.

559
00:28:40,733 --> 00:28:42,066
[Shamrock] I'm just a wrestler.

560
00:28:43,899 --> 00:28:46,366
[The Undertaker] I'm 6'10'', 328 pounds.

561
00:28:46,433 --> 00:28:49,199
[Marc] I won boxing's Golden Gloves
three years in a row.

562
00:28:49,266 --> 00:28:51,899
[The Rock] I was a national champion
at the University of Miami.

563
00:28:51,966 --> 00:28:53,933
[Faarooq] My jersey was retired
at Florida State.

564
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,233
[Shamrock] I was
the Ultimate Fighting Champion.

565
00:28:56,399 --> 00:28:59,333
[The Undertaker] When you step
through those ropes, bad things do happen.

566
00:28:59,399 --> 00:29:02,733
-[Stone Cold] I've had over 200 stitches--
-[Shawn] Suffered a dozen concussions.

567
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,133
[Stone Cold] I have broken bones.

568
00:29:04,199 --> 00:29:05,766
Damn near broke my neck.

569
00:29:05,833 --> 00:29:08,566
-[Shawn] I have blown-out knees.
-[Stone Cold] But I still got up.

570
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,366
-[The Undertaker] This is who I am.
-[Ahmed] This is what I do.

571
00:29:12,433 --> 00:29:15,433
-[Shamrock] I'm not really an athlete?
-[Shawn] This isn't real?

572
00:29:16,366 --> 00:29:17,866
[Stone Cold] Try lacing my boots.

573
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,166
[Cole] Welcome back to Raw.
Happy holidays everybody.

574
00:29:25,266 --> 00:29:26,566
["Nation of Domination" playing]

575
00:29:26,633 --> 00:29:29,500
Faarooq leading The Rock
and the Nation of Domination to the ring.

576
00:29:29,566 --> 00:29:30,899
What a match-up this is gonna be,

577
00:29:30,966 --> 00:29:32,933
The Rock against The Phenom,
The Undertaker.

578
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,899
But what a night
it's been here already on Raw.

579
00:29:34,966 --> 00:29:39,000
[Kevin Patrick] Certainly has, folks.
We already saw "Stone Cold" Steve Austin

580
00:29:39,066 --> 00:29:40,766
give the stunner to a bogus Santa.

581
00:29:40,833 --> 00:29:43,933
And what about
the confrontation on the horizon

582
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,833
between Shawn Michaels
and Hunter Hearst-Helmsley,

583
00:29:46,899 --> 00:29:48,000
it'll happen tonight.

584
00:29:48,066 --> 00:29:51,000
We already heard heated words
coming from the D-X locker room.

585
00:29:51,066 --> 00:29:52,733
There's a big story brewing here tonight.

586
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,033
[Cole] Could there be, uh,
trouble in paradise for D-Generation X?

587
00:29:56,100 --> 00:29:59,033
There he is, The Rock,
the Intercontinental Champion,

588
00:29:59,100 --> 00:30:01,566
but he does not have
the hardware to prove it.

589
00:30:02,066 --> 00:30:04,166
Of course, Stone Cold
threw the Intercontinental belt

590
00:30:04,233 --> 00:30:06,266
off a bridge in New Hampshire last week.

591
00:30:06,333 --> 00:30:09,333
If you people shut your mouth
and listen to what The Rock has to say,

592
00:30:09,399 --> 00:30:10,933
you might educate yourself.

593
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,699
[crowd chanting] Rocky sucks!

594
00:30:13,766 --> 00:30:16,300
Let me be the first to introduce to you

595
00:30:16,366 --> 00:30:21,633
the new undisputed
Intercontinental Champion

596
00:30:21,699 --> 00:30:23,633
of the World Wrestling Entertainment,

597
00:30:23,699 --> 00:30:25,100
The Rock.

598
00:30:25,199 --> 00:30:28,566
[Cole] Yes, the self-proclaimed Rock.

599
00:30:29,066 --> 00:30:31,399
He is the self-proclaimed
People's Champion.

600
00:30:31,466 --> 00:30:33,433
-["Rest in Peace" playing]
-[Kevin Patrick] Oh, boy.

601
00:30:33,500 --> 00:30:35,633
-[crowd cheering]
-He could get a lesson in, uh,

602
00:30:36,533 --> 00:30:37,966
a long day's night here.

603
00:30:39,433 --> 00:30:41,300
[Howard] And his opponent,

604
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:46,333
from Death Valley,
weighing in at 328 pounds,

605
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,000
The Undertaker.

606
00:30:51,433 --> 00:30:53,433
[Cole] The Phenom, The Undertaker,

607
00:30:54,166 --> 00:30:58,666
heading for a huge match-up,
the WWE Championship on the line,

608
00:30:58,733 --> 00:31:02,800
January 18th, the Royal Rumble,
San Jose, California.

609
00:31:02,866 --> 00:31:07,266
A Casket Match,
The Undertaker to meet Shawn Michaels.

610
00:31:07,333 --> 00:31:09,500
[Kevin Patrick] But what kind of
emotional state is he in, JR?

611
00:31:09,566 --> 00:31:12,466
These confrontations with Kane
have to take its toll.

612
00:31:12,533 --> 00:31:14,733
[Ross] Well, there's no doubt
about that, but hopefully,

613
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,300
The Undertaker has
one thing on his mind here tonight,

614
00:31:17,366 --> 00:31:18,666
and that is The Rock.

615
00:31:18,733 --> 00:31:21,899
It's gonna be a great challenge
for The Phenom, but yes, indeed,

616
00:31:21,966 --> 00:31:24,699
January the 18th, the entire Bay Area

617
00:31:24,766 --> 00:31:28,733
is getting excited
about the 1998 Royal Rumble.

618
00:31:29,566 --> 00:31:33,066
It's The Undertaker's specialty,
a Casket Match.

619
00:31:42,466 --> 00:31:43,899
-[thunderclap]
-[Kevin Patrick] Oh, my…

620
00:31:44,933 --> 00:31:46,066
[Ross] Let there be light.

621
00:31:46,866 --> 00:31:50,300
And The Rock maybe thinking
or having second thoughts

622
00:31:50,366 --> 00:31:54,566
about signing a contract
to meet the greatest Phenom

623
00:31:54,633 --> 00:31:57,966
in the entire history
of the World Wrestling Entertainment.

624
00:31:58,033 --> 00:32:00,100
Everybody says they're an icon.

625
00:32:00,166 --> 00:32:02,366
Everybody says
that they're gonna be the man,

626
00:32:02,433 --> 00:32:06,033
but folks, there is one man,
the man in the WWE,

627
00:32:06,100 --> 00:32:09,333
and in my view,
that's The Man from the Dark Side,

628
00:32:09,399 --> 00:32:11,533
that man right there, The Undertaker.

629
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,933
[Cole] The two-time WWE Champion.

630
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,866
-[bell dinging]
-Chance to make it three times,

631
00:32:15,933 --> 00:32:17,833
January 18th, at the Royal Rumble,

632
00:32:17,899 --> 00:32:20,266
as The Undertaker now
gets set to take on The Rock.

633
00:32:20,333 --> 00:32:21,433
Kevin, I need to ask you,

634
00:32:21,500 --> 00:32:23,766
how focused can The Undertaker be
in this match-up

635
00:32:23,833 --> 00:32:25,366
against the Intercontinental Champion,

636
00:32:25,433 --> 00:32:28,466
knowing that everywhere he's gone lately,
Kane has been sure to follow?

637
00:32:28,533 --> 00:32:29,566
And there he goes.

638
00:32:29,966 --> 00:32:33,766
The Rock with an attack from behind,
pounding away now at The Undertaker.

639
00:32:33,833 --> 00:32:35,766
He was distracted by D-Lo Brown.

640
00:32:35,833 --> 00:32:37,666
Whips The Undertaker across the ring,

641
00:32:37,733 --> 00:32:39,433
into the corner, but there's the big boot.

642
00:32:40,433 --> 00:32:42,266
Followed up by the clothesline.

643
00:32:42,333 --> 00:32:44,833
[Ross] We've just been notified
that the New Age Outlaws

644
00:32:44,899 --> 00:32:47,233
are searching for Mankind.

645
00:32:47,300 --> 00:32:51,199
Apparently, the New Age Outlaws
went to where they thought Mankind was,

646
00:32:51,266 --> 00:32:54,600
in the bowels of the building,
but Mankind was not there.

647
00:32:54,666 --> 00:32:57,633
So you got to wonder
just who is searching whom?

648
00:32:58,333 --> 00:32:59,899
[Kevin Patrick] Very, very interesting.

649
00:32:59,966 --> 00:33:02,133
Mankind lurking in the bowels
of the building,

650
00:33:02,199 --> 00:33:03,199
who knows what'll happen.

651
00:33:03,266 --> 00:33:06,466
[Cole] Undertaker whips Rock off the ropes
and catches him with a big boot.

652
00:33:06,533 --> 00:33:10,866
We understand our cameras are staying
with, uh, Billy Gunn and Road Dogg

653
00:33:10,933 --> 00:33:14,233
in the locker room area as they try
to find that moving target, Mankind.

654
00:33:14,300 --> 00:33:16,966
Here's the cover, there's two,
but The Rock kicks out.

655
00:33:17,366 --> 00:33:19,933
[Kevin Patrick] Nervous looks
on the faces of the Nation of Domination,

656
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,666
members around ringside,

657
00:33:21,733 --> 00:33:23,399
The Rock in all kinds of trouble.

658
00:33:23,466 --> 00:33:25,333
[Ross] The entire Nation at ringside,

659
00:33:25,399 --> 00:33:28,500
certainly posing more obstacles
for The Undertaker.

660
00:33:28,566 --> 00:33:31,766
You're talking about nervous looks,
you gotta wonder what kind of, uh,

661
00:33:31,833 --> 00:33:35,000
looks on the face of Shawn Michaels
and Hunter Hearst-Helmsley,

662
00:33:35,066 --> 00:33:37,899
the two members of D-X
will meet each other

663
00:33:37,966 --> 00:33:40,500
right here tonight for the European Title.

664
00:33:40,566 --> 00:33:43,266
You heard it right, Michaels and Helmsley,

665
00:33:43,333 --> 00:33:48,066
one-on-one for the European Title.
That much will be here tonight.

666
00:33:48,133 --> 00:33:50,399
[Cole] A Christmas present
from Commissioner Slaughter,

667
00:33:50,466 --> 00:33:52,633
could it be the end of the D-Generation X?

668
00:33:52,699 --> 00:33:54,733
The Undertaker, the two-time champion,

669
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,600
in control of the two-time
Intercontinental Champion,

670
00:33:57,666 --> 00:34:00,633
-The Rock, Rocky Maivia.
-[Ross] Watch his athleticism.

671
00:34:00,699 --> 00:34:03,466
He's 6'10'', 328 pounds.

672
00:34:03,533 --> 00:34:06,233
This is absolutely amazing. Wait a minute.

673
00:34:06,633 --> 00:34:10,133
There's Paul Bearer.
The Undertaker sees Paul Bearer as well.

674
00:34:10,900 --> 00:34:13,166
[Cole] He is the ghost-- Oh, from behind.

675
00:34:13,233 --> 00:34:17,100
-Kama, with a low blow from behind.
-[Ross] The Undertaker is hurt.

676
00:34:17,166 --> 00:34:19,133
[Cole] We gotta take a break.
We'll be right back.

677
00:34:20,666 --> 00:34:22,400
[Cole] Kama Mustafa
with a big clothesline.

678
00:34:22,466 --> 00:34:25,433
The Nation mugging The Undertaker
outside the ring.

679
00:34:25,500 --> 00:34:26,900
Welcome back to Raw everybody.

680
00:34:26,966 --> 00:34:29,633
[Kevin Patrick] A carefully orchestrated
play by the Nation of Domination

681
00:34:29,699 --> 00:34:31,133
on the far side of the ring fence.

682
00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:32,900
Faarooq has the referee distracted,

683
00:34:32,966 --> 00:34:35,766
Kama and D-Lo are
destroying The Undertaker.

684
00:34:35,833 --> 00:34:39,033
And look at the early Christmas gift
rolled in for The Rock.

685
00:34:39,100 --> 00:34:42,699
[Cole] And don't forget, Paul Bearer,
the ghost of The Undertaker's past,

686
00:34:42,766 --> 00:34:44,966
-is still at ringside.
-[crowd chanting] Rocky sucks!

687
00:34:45,033 --> 00:34:48,466
And as we know, wherever Paul Bearer
has gone as of late, as a rule,

688
00:34:48,533 --> 00:34:50,233
Kane has but sure to follow.

689
00:34:51,866 --> 00:34:55,166
The Rock now in control,
thanks to his Nation brethren

690
00:34:55,233 --> 00:34:57,666
as he pounds away now
on The Undertaker in the corner.

691
00:34:57,733 --> 00:35:00,466
[Kevin Patrick] Undertaker is taking
a hellacious beating at the hands

692
00:35:00,533 --> 00:35:02,266
of the Nation of Domination.

693
00:35:02,333 --> 00:35:04,799
[Cole] The Rock with the big right hand.

694
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,266
The Undertaker in deep trouble.

695
00:35:08,500 --> 00:35:10,833
[Kevin Patrick] Emotionally distraught
over the past few weeks,

696
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:12,433
physically beaten down,

697
00:35:12,500 --> 00:35:15,933
attacks by Kane,
and now here tonight, look at Kama go.

698
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,200
[Cole] Kama with right hands
to The Undertaker.

699
00:35:19,833 --> 00:35:20,733
The Rock…

700
00:35:22,433 --> 00:35:25,600
an early Christmas present,
firmly in control now.

701
00:35:25,666 --> 00:35:27,366
[crowd chanting] Rocky sucks!

702
00:35:27,433 --> 00:35:30,433
[Ross] Certainly, The Rock
making a statement here.

703
00:35:30,500 --> 00:35:32,200
The reigning Intercontinental Champion--

704
00:35:32,266 --> 00:35:34,533
Now, wait a minute.
The Undertaker fights back.

705
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,833
You cannot keep The Phenom down,
no matter what the odds are.

706
00:35:37,900 --> 00:35:39,500
And The Rock rakes the face

707
00:35:39,566 --> 00:35:42,033
just as The Undertaker
was building some momentum.

708
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,600
[Cole] Look at that,
a big slam by The Rock.

709
00:35:45,100 --> 00:35:48,033
The 275-pounder, 6'5'',

710
00:35:48,100 --> 00:35:50,500
off the ropes now,
leaps over The Undertaker,

711
00:35:51,233 --> 00:35:53,266
and plants the elbow into the sternum.

712
00:35:54,766 --> 00:35:56,900
The Rock now hooks the leg,
here's the cover,

713
00:35:56,966 --> 00:36:00,366
only two before the left shoulder
kicked out by The Undertaker.

714
00:36:00,433 --> 00:36:02,366
[Ross] Can you imagine what it would mean

715
00:36:02,433 --> 00:36:05,600
for the career of The Rock
to defeat The Undertaker

716
00:36:05,666 --> 00:36:07,933
right here tonight on Raw?

717
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,266
It would be huge.

718
00:36:09,333 --> 00:36:13,633
It will off the page
as far as The Rock's career is concerned.

719
00:36:14,133 --> 00:36:16,833
[Cole] The Rock now
trying to wear down The Undertaker.

720
00:36:16,900 --> 00:36:19,833
[Kevin Patrick] A submission move perhaps
as the Nation of Domination lurks

721
00:36:19,900 --> 00:36:23,100
on the outside,
really starting to clamp down.

722
00:36:23,166 --> 00:36:26,033
And The Undertaker sinking
further and further down.

723
00:36:26,100 --> 00:36:28,033
I'm not so sure if he's gonna come back.

724
00:36:28,100 --> 00:36:31,299
[Cole] The crowd trying to give
The Undertaker some momentum.

725
00:36:31,366 --> 00:36:34,299
The Undertaker trying desperately
to get to his feet.

726
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,600
The Phenom in trouble. Can he battle back?

727
00:36:37,666 --> 00:36:40,166
He's taking an extreme amount
of punishment this week.

728
00:36:40,733 --> 00:36:43,766
[Ross] Yeah, but look at the odds,
look at the odds against The Undertaker.

729
00:36:43,833 --> 00:36:45,766
That man, Faarooq,
the leader of the Nation.

730
00:36:45,833 --> 00:36:47,600
This whole thing has been
well-orchestrated.

731
00:36:47,700 --> 00:36:49,533
You got Paul Bearer out of here,

732
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,766
and you know every time
The Undertaker sees Paul Bearer,

733
00:36:52,833 --> 00:36:55,866
The Undertaker has to think
of his brother, Kane.

734
00:36:55,933 --> 00:36:57,633
What-- What more hurdles,

735
00:36:57,700 --> 00:37:00,366
what more challenges can be faced,

736
00:37:00,433 --> 00:37:03,233
placed in front
of a Man from the Dark Side?

737
00:37:04,133 --> 00:37:07,200
[Cole] The Rock clamping down
into the shoulder now of The Undertaker.

738
00:37:07,266 --> 00:37:11,466
The Undertaker slowly trying
to feed off the momentum of this crowd.

739
00:37:12,466 --> 00:37:14,200
[Kevin Patrick] This amazes me,
that The Undertaker

740
00:37:14,266 --> 00:37:16,166
is able to come back. How resilient.

741
00:37:16,233 --> 00:37:18,766
[Cole] The Rock though
with a stiff right hand to the back.

742
00:37:18,833 --> 00:37:20,666
Off the ropes now, big clothesline.

743
00:37:21,666 --> 00:37:24,500
[Kevin Patrick] Certainly the Casket
Match, the title opportunity, looming

744
00:37:24,566 --> 00:37:27,299
at the 1998 Royal Rumble, January 18th.

745
00:37:27,366 --> 00:37:28,966
But The Undertaker, so many obstacles

746
00:37:29,033 --> 00:37:31,200
-to overcome till that time--
-[commentators exclaim]

747
00:37:31,266 --> 00:37:32,266
[Ross] Caught a low blow.

748
00:37:32,333 --> 00:37:35,266
[Cole] Referee, Earl Hebner,
distracted by the Nation on the outside.

749
00:37:35,333 --> 00:37:36,400
[Ross] A blatant low blow.

750
00:37:36,466 --> 00:37:38,533
That should've been
an automatic disqualification

751
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,833
and no doubt would have been
if the referee had seen it.

752
00:37:42,566 --> 00:37:45,933
But how do you officiate this match
with so many distractions?

753
00:37:48,366 --> 00:37:50,700
[Cole] The Rock, again, pounding away

754
00:37:50,766 --> 00:37:53,433
into the back of The Undertaker,
into that shoulder.

755
00:37:53,500 --> 00:37:57,333
What punishment The Undertaker
is taking at the hands of The Rock.

756
00:37:58,333 --> 00:38:00,333
[Kevin Patrick]
The spirit of the dark side,

757
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,100
it's still strong, but the physical form,

758
00:38:02,166 --> 00:38:05,866
The Undertaker's body
being beaten down week after week.

759
00:38:06,833 --> 00:38:09,466
[Ross] The highly intelligent
Nation of Domination,

760
00:38:09,533 --> 00:38:11,200
especially this man, The Rock,

761
00:38:11,266 --> 00:38:13,466
trying to keep
The Undertaker's vertical base

762
00:38:13,966 --> 00:38:16,500
and keep him down,
keep him from that vertical base.

763
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,299
And Rock now, again kicking
The Undertaker right back down.

764
00:38:20,366 --> 00:38:22,000
Whether you like him or you don't,

765
00:38:22,066 --> 00:38:26,200
The Rock is a smart, smart athlete,
but look at The Undertaker fight back.

766
00:38:26,266 --> 00:38:28,900
[Cole] The Undertaker battling back.
Big right and left hands

767
00:38:28,966 --> 00:38:30,233
and then a right to the face.

768
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,700
Another kick to the midsection,
The Rock trying to regain control.

769
00:38:35,766 --> 00:38:37,966
But The Undertaker now,
blocking the rights,

770
00:38:38,033 --> 00:38:39,600
coming back with rights of his own.

771
00:38:41,100 --> 00:38:43,566
Whips The Rock
across the ring, into the corner.

772
00:38:44,466 --> 00:38:46,266
Oh, but The Rock catches him
with a big elbow.

773
00:38:46,366 --> 00:38:49,200
[Kevin Patrick] Taking so much punishment,
The Undertaker has.

774
00:38:49,266 --> 00:38:51,133
The Rock really dishing it out here.

775
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,200
[Cole] Rock again whips
The Undertaker into the corner,

776
00:38:54,266 --> 00:38:55,566
but he telegraphed it.

777
00:38:55,633 --> 00:38:58,033
The Undertaker, a desperation move,

778
00:38:58,100 --> 00:38:59,833
he caught The Rock
in the back of the neck.

779
00:38:59,900 --> 00:39:02,633
[Ross] The Undertaker's gonna
overcome all the obstacles here.

780
00:39:02,700 --> 00:39:04,466
-It should be over.
-[Cole] There's two.

781
00:39:04,533 --> 00:39:07,100
Almost three, but Rock
somehow got the left shoulder up.

782
00:39:07,166 --> 00:39:09,299
[Kevin Patrick] D-Lo up on the apron.
What's this all about?

783
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,633
[Cole] The Undertaker made sure
he went down quickly,

784
00:39:13,700 --> 00:39:17,200
but he's distracted again,
and The Rock, again capitalizes.

785
00:39:19,566 --> 00:39:21,366
The Undertaker whipped off the rope.

786
00:39:21,433 --> 00:39:23,766
Rock misses with the right hand. Look out.

787
00:39:23,833 --> 00:39:25,366
-[crowd cheering]
-Look out.

788
00:39:26,166 --> 00:39:29,666
[Ross] Rock going for the ride.
A chokeslam with one arm.

789
00:39:29,733 --> 00:39:32,466
A one-arm chokeslam by The Phenom.

790
00:39:32,533 --> 00:39:34,400
[Cole] This'll be it. This should be it.

791
00:39:34,466 --> 00:39:36,500
The Undertaker setting him up.

792
00:39:36,866 --> 00:39:39,666
[Kevin Patrick] He's gonna take him for
the ride, for the Tombstone Piledriver.

793
00:39:39,733 --> 00:39:41,733
Can The Undertaker overcome all the odds?

794
00:39:41,799 --> 00:39:44,266
[Cole] The Rock doesn't know
where he is. Here it comes.

795
00:39:44,333 --> 00:39:46,799
[Ross] The Nation's not gonna
be able to save The Rock.

796
00:39:46,866 --> 00:39:50,666
-[Cole] Rest in peace, Rocky.
-[Ross] Maivia just got--

797
00:39:50,733 --> 00:39:51,900
[crowd screaming]

798
00:39:51,966 --> 00:39:52,866
[Ross] Wait a minute.

799
00:39:52,933 --> 00:39:55,799
-["Burned" playing]
-[Ross] Oh, no. Don't tell me this again.

800
00:39:57,700 --> 00:40:00,166
[Kevin Patrick] Another chapter
in Paul Bearer's prophecy.

801
00:40:01,633 --> 00:40:03,700
[Ross] My God, what in the hell?

802
00:40:03,766 --> 00:40:04,799
Here he comes.

803
00:40:04,866 --> 00:40:05,799
[explosion]

804
00:40:05,866 --> 00:40:07,466
[Ross] Here comes Kane.

805
00:40:07,533 --> 00:40:09,333
[Cole] The younger brother
of The Undertaker,

806
00:40:09,733 --> 00:40:11,633
led by Paul Bearer to the ring.

807
00:40:13,333 --> 00:40:15,466
[Ross] I got a feeling
this may be the night.

808
00:40:15,533 --> 00:40:19,833
This may be the night that The Undertaker
takes his little brother

809
00:40:19,900 --> 00:40:21,433
and takes him down hard.

810
00:40:21,500 --> 00:40:23,666
[Kevin Patrick] If he doesn't, JR,
is this the night that Kane

811
00:40:23,733 --> 00:40:26,100
puts The Undertaker down once and for all?

812
00:40:29,133 --> 00:40:33,666
[Cole] Last week, these two mammoths
met face-to-face in the ring.

813
00:40:34,666 --> 00:40:36,966
[Ross] Paul Bearer has
some sort of plan here.

814
00:40:37,033 --> 00:40:39,366
Paul Bearer would love
to ruin everybody's holiday,

815
00:40:39,433 --> 00:40:41,133
especially The Undertaker's.

816
00:40:41,766 --> 00:40:44,299
[Cole] Last week,
we saw Kane slap The Undertaker.

817
00:40:45,799 --> 00:40:48,233
Undertaker did not retaliate.

818
00:40:49,466 --> 00:40:53,333
[Bearer] I invite the entire world

819
00:40:53,966 --> 00:40:59,433
to feast your eyes upon your Phenom.

820
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,200
[crowd booing]

821
00:41:04,299 --> 00:41:05,500
[Bearer] Look at him!

822
00:41:07,566 --> 00:41:12,900
You're nothing but a shell of a man
that you once were.

823
00:41:15,166 --> 00:41:17,833
[Ross] I don't believe that.
I'll never believe that.

824
00:41:17,900 --> 00:41:22,500
[Bearer] I gave you one last chance
last week, Deadman,

825
00:41:23,233 --> 00:41:26,600
to step up and face your brother.

826
00:41:26,666 --> 00:41:28,433
And what did you do?

827
00:41:28,500 --> 00:41:30,900
You tucked tail and ran.

828
00:41:31,166 --> 00:41:32,733
[Cole] I don't think he ran.

829
00:41:34,166 --> 00:41:38,000
He refused to fight his brother,
as he said all along, he would not do.

830
00:41:38,066 --> 00:41:42,666
[Bearer] I have to say that
I am totally ashamed

831
00:41:42,733 --> 00:41:46,600
to say that I ever
had anything to do with you.

832
00:41:47,966 --> 00:41:49,233
[Kevin Patrick] The feeling's mutual.

833
00:41:49,299 --> 00:41:54,900
[Bearer] I can't believe that I once
stood by your side so proud

834
00:41:54,966 --> 00:41:57,633
and called myself your friend.

835
00:42:00,133 --> 00:42:01,900
You're nothing anymore.

836
00:42:02,433 --> 00:42:03,633
Nothing at all.

837
00:42:05,166 --> 00:42:07,266
And what's so sad,

838
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:10,333
your poor parents

839
00:42:10,966 --> 00:42:14,366
are celebrating this holiday season

840
00:42:14,433 --> 00:42:16,666
with the maggots and the worms.

841
00:42:16,733 --> 00:42:19,000
-[Ross] Good God.
-[Cole] Look out.

842
00:42:19,900 --> 00:42:22,133
Look out. He went for Paul Bearer.

843
00:42:22,833 --> 00:42:25,733
[Ross] Kane just attacking his brother.

844
00:42:25,799 --> 00:42:27,700
-Wait a minute.
-[Cole] He's gonna fight back.

845
00:42:28,333 --> 00:42:30,433
-[Ross] The Undertaker's had enough.
-[Cole] Oh, no.

846
00:42:31,066 --> 00:42:32,966
[Kevin Patrick] He had a chance, JR,
he didn't do it.

847
00:42:33,466 --> 00:42:34,533
[Cole] Right hands.

848
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,200
[Ross] Kane is hammering
and battering his brother.

849
00:42:37,700 --> 00:42:40,400
The Undertaker refusing to fight back.

850
00:42:40,466 --> 00:42:42,466
[Bearer] Are you gonna fight back, Phenom?

851
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,666
Come on, you leeches of the night.

852
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:48,600
Look at your Phenom.

853
00:42:49,566 --> 00:42:52,366
[Cole] Kane pummeling away
at The Undertaker, The Phenom…

854
00:42:52,433 --> 00:42:54,200
[Bearer] There's your Undertaker.

855
00:42:54,266 --> 00:42:57,366
[Cole] …refusing to fight back,
refusing to defend himself.

856
00:42:57,633 --> 00:42:59,700
[Kevin Patrick] Is this the fight
The Man from the Dark Side

857
00:42:59,766 --> 00:43:01,466
is extinguished once and for all?

858
00:43:01,533 --> 00:43:03,033
[Bearer] …groveling on his knees.

859
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:07,533
[Cole] Oh, no.

860
00:43:09,166 --> 00:43:12,266
[Kevin Patrick] Taker had a chance to
fight back, he had a chance to strike.

861
00:43:12,333 --> 00:43:13,500
He didn't do it.

862
00:43:13,566 --> 00:43:17,766
[Ross] Absolute carnage inflicted
on The Undertaker by his brother, Kane.

863
00:43:18,366 --> 00:43:20,700
[Bearer] Are you gonna fight back?

864
00:43:20,766 --> 00:43:24,500
[Ross] No one has ever,
ever manhandled The Undertaker

865
00:43:24,566 --> 00:43:27,833
like Kane is right here
before our very eyes.

866
00:43:28,900 --> 00:43:30,400
The Undertaker is hurt.

867
00:43:31,066 --> 00:43:33,900
[Cole] Desperately trying
to grab the rope to get to his feet.

868
00:43:33,966 --> 00:43:35,933
[Bearer] I told you he's nothing.

869
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,633
-And here is your proof.
-[Ross] Paul Bearer loves this.

870
00:43:39,366 --> 00:43:40,966
Paul Bearer loves this.

871
00:43:41,766 --> 00:43:44,833
[Kevin Patrick] The broken form of
The Undertaker slumped in the corner.

872
00:43:44,900 --> 00:43:49,766
[Bearer] 1998 will be the year of Kane.

873
00:43:50,100 --> 00:43:52,633
[Ross] How much more
will The Undertaker take?

874
00:43:53,133 --> 00:43:57,033
Or maybe more specifically,
how much more can he take?

875
00:43:57,100 --> 00:43:58,799
-[explosion]
-[Ross] Oh, my gosh.

876
00:43:58,866 --> 00:44:00,900
-["Burned" playing]
-[Kevin Patrick] Welcome to hell.

877
00:44:02,566 --> 00:44:05,500
[Cole] The Undertaker,
lying in the corner.

878
00:44:07,533 --> 00:44:10,666
He had a chance.
He had a chance to defend himself.

879
00:44:10,733 --> 00:44:13,500
[Bearer] Season's beatings, Deadman.

880
00:44:15,533 --> 00:44:18,033
[Ross] The Undertaker
has just experienced…

881
00:44:20,866 --> 00:44:24,566
quite the dose of hell
from his own flesh and blood.

882
00:44:24,933 --> 00:44:26,200
From his own brother.

883
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,000
The Undertaker, obviously, is hurt.

884
00:44:31,433 --> 00:44:33,066
[Kevin Patrick]
He can't take any more of this.

885
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,100
The Undertaker can't withstand
any more from Kane.

886
00:44:40,133 --> 00:44:42,100
[Cole] What a night, folks, on Raw.

887
00:44:42,166 --> 00:44:43,100
But up next…

888
00:44:43,166 --> 00:44:44,666
Up next on the War Zone.

889
00:44:44,733 --> 00:44:47,033
Shawn Michaels meets Triple H

890
00:44:47,100 --> 00:44:49,233
The European Title is on the line.

891
00:44:49,299 --> 00:44:51,066
Could it be the destruction of D-X?

892
00:44:52,866 --> 00:44:54,700
[narrator] In over 100 countries,

893
00:44:54,766 --> 00:44:56,566
in seven different languages,

894
00:44:56,633 --> 00:44:59,299
to more than
a half billion viewers each week,

895
00:44:59,366 --> 00:45:01,200
the World Wrestling Entertainment,

896
00:45:01,266 --> 00:45:04,233
the worldwide leader
in sports entertainment.

897
00:45:06,500 --> 00:45:09,966
[Ross] Just a few moments ago on Raw,
we saw another altercation

898
00:45:10,033 --> 00:45:13,299
involving Kane
and his brother, The Undertaker.

899
00:45:14,100 --> 00:45:17,166
[Cornette] And it was the first time
that The Undertaker

900
00:45:17,233 --> 00:45:18,866
raised a hand to his brother,

901
00:45:18,933 --> 00:45:21,033
even if it was only to restrain him.

902
00:45:21,466 --> 00:45:24,299
But he still would not strike Kane.

903
00:45:24,366 --> 00:45:26,333
But Kane had no such qualms.

904
00:45:26,700 --> 00:45:31,033
[Ross] What a brutal attack
perpetrated by Kane on The Undertaker

905
00:45:31,100 --> 00:45:34,533
and The Undertaker
has refused medical attention.

906
00:45:35,066 --> 00:45:36,299
[Cornette] But that's not all.

907
00:45:36,366 --> 00:45:40,299
Commissioner Slaughter has informed
the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels,

908
00:45:40,366 --> 00:45:43,966
that he must defend
the European Championship

909
00:45:44,033 --> 00:45:45,200
right here tonight.

910
00:45:46,299 --> 00:45:50,333
I will defend this title against anybody,

911
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:54,433
anywhere, anytime, pal.

912
00:45:55,100 --> 00:45:58,366
Your opponent tonight will be…

913
00:46:00,266 --> 00:46:03,633
-Hunter Hearst-Helmsley.
-[crowd cheering]

914
00:46:03,700 --> 00:46:05,966
[Ross] Could we see
the destruction of D-Generation X?

915
00:46:06,033 --> 00:46:09,233
Because Shawn Michaels
meets Triple H, next.

Here come Chyna carrying both
Shawn Michaels' championship belts.

936
00:47:28,166 --> 00:47:30,433
You gotta wonder
where she stands in this equation.

937
00:47:30,500 --> 00:47:33,066
[Cornette] I was about to ask,
whose side is she on?

938
00:47:33,166 --> 00:47:37,100
Is she just gonna try to pick the winner
and hope he feels the same about her?

939
00:47:38,166 --> 00:47:42,133
[Ross] She's not exactly a classic,
uh, Santa's little helper.

940
00:47:43,500 --> 00:47:46,100
A 200-pound, uh, accomplice

941
00:47:46,733 --> 00:47:49,766
of Michaels and Helmsley
has made her way to the ring.

942
00:47:49,833 --> 00:47:50,966
[Howard] The participants…

943
00:47:51,033 --> 00:47:52,733
[Cornette] You can't read that poker face.

944
00:47:52,833 --> 00:47:57,100
[Howard] …from San Antonio, Texas,
weighing in at 234 pounds.

945
00:47:57,166 --> 00:48:01,500
He is the World Wrestling Entertainment
and European Champion,

946
00:48:01,566 --> 00:48:05,700
the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels.

947
00:48:05,766 --> 00:48:09,799
[Cornette] And that's kind of interesting.
Shawn Michaels coming to the ring first.

948
00:48:10,533 --> 00:48:13,799
He's not only the European Champion,
he's the WWE Champion.

949
00:48:15,433 --> 00:48:18,133
[Ross] He may not be
the European Champion after tonight.

950
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:24,133
He may not be the WWE Champion
after the Royal Rumble on January 18th.

951
00:48:26,500 --> 00:48:28,133

[Cornette] Ego alert! Ego alert!

I think we're gonna be exceeding
the ego limit for this building.

[Howard] …Hunter Hearst Helmsley.

955

[Ross] The 1997 King of the Ring,

956
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,600
Triple H, on his way to the ring
to challenge Shawn--

957
00:48:41,666 --> 00:48:43,466
Wait a minute! There's Owen Hart!

958
00:48:43,533 --> 00:48:45,799
[Cornette] Hey, wait a minute!
Cut that tape off.

959
00:48:45,866 --> 00:48:46,733
Look at Owen Hart.

960
00:48:46,799 --> 00:48:49,866
[Ross] Owen Hart just attacked Triple H.

961
00:48:49,933 --> 00:48:53,166
There the Commissioner
but Owen Hart has struck again.

962
00:48:54,233 --> 00:48:58,633
Owen Hart has struck again
and has attacked Triple H.

963
00:48:58,700 --> 00:49:00,266
[Cornette] Where did he come from?

964
00:49:01,433 --> 00:49:03,733
I didn't even see where he came from.

965
00:49:04,233 --> 00:49:07,766
[Ross] Well, Triple H called,
uh, Owen a nugget earlier,

966
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:09,466
among other things.

967
00:49:09,533 --> 00:49:12,166
These two guys did earlier

968
00:49:13,433 --> 00:49:17,066
and they are having some words,
obviously, with Commissioner Slaughter.

969
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,333
[indistinct yelling]

970
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:21,533
[Triple H] You were sitting there
when I walked over--

971
00:49:23,766 --> 00:49:25,766
It's a conspiracy against D-X.

972
00:49:26,366 --> 00:49:27,366
[Cornette] You hear that?

973
00:49:28,700 --> 00:49:31,799
-[Ross] Look at Slaughter smiling.
-[Cornette] Slaughter's got a grin

974
00:49:31,866 --> 00:49:34,766
and I think Michaels is accusing Slaughter
of being in on that.

975
00:49:35,299 --> 00:49:36,900
Go on, get your cue ball out of here.

976
00:49:36,966 --> 00:49:39,633
[Ross] Well, Oliver Stone,
are you listening?

977
00:49:39,700 --> 00:49:41,266
Another conspiracy theory.

978
00:49:41,666 --> 00:49:44,233
Was there collusion
with Slaughter and Owen Hart?

979
00:49:44,299 --> 00:49:45,766
Let's take another look.

980
00:49:45,900 --> 00:49:49,400
Another camera angle.
Owen Hart comes right out the entrance way

981
00:49:49,466 --> 00:49:51,033
and attacks Helmsley.

982
00:49:51,266 --> 00:49:53,000
[Cornette] He must have been
laying in wait

983
00:49:53,066 --> 00:49:55,600
right behind the curtain there
on the other side.

984
00:49:56,466 --> 00:49:58,766
And Slaughter
was quick enough to get him off,

985
00:49:58,833 --> 00:50:00,900
but, uh, I don't know whether maybe

986
00:50:00,966 --> 00:50:03,433
Slaughter might not have been in on it.
Who knows?

987
00:50:03,500 --> 00:50:05,433
[Ross] Well, the bottom line is,

988
00:50:05,500 --> 00:50:08,799
this match is gonna
take place tonight! Tonight!

989
00:50:10,066 --> 00:50:12,833
[Ross] Welcome back to the War Zone.
Here's what happened moments ago.

990
00:50:12,900 --> 00:50:17,299
The challenger for the European Title,
Triple H, attacked again by Owen Hart.

991
00:50:17,366 --> 00:50:20,233
[Cornette] It doesn't see that anything
can contain Owen Hart's hatred

992
00:50:20,299 --> 00:50:21,633
for Shawn Michaels and Triple H.

993
00:50:21,700 --> 00:50:23,166
No official reprimand.

994
00:50:23,233 --> 00:50:25,433
No action by the WWE representatives

995
00:50:25,500 --> 00:50:29,566
can stop Owen Hart from attacking
D-Generation X at every opportunity.

996
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,266
Well, the bottom line,
as the old rattle stick would say

997
00:50:32,333 --> 00:50:35,633
is that here tonight on the War Zone,
the European Title will be on the line

998
00:50:35,700 --> 00:50:38,233
and Shawn Michaels will face Triple H.

999
00:50:38,299 --> 00:50:40,066
That's right. Slaughter has ordered it

1000
00:50:40,133 --> 00:50:42,033
and no matter what
Michaels and Triple H do,

1001
00:50:42,100 --> 00:50:44,633
they're not gonna get out of it.
They will face each other.

1002
00:50:44,700 --> 00:50:47,766
And what's more,
our cameras have caught up with Mankind.

1003
00:50:47,833 --> 00:50:49,333
He was in the bowels of the building

1004
00:50:49,399 --> 00:50:52,733
and he had some rather pointed comments
to make just a few moments ago

1005
00:50:52,799 --> 00:50:54,500
to Road Dogg and Billy Gunn.

1006
00:50:55,066 --> 00:50:56,666
So, New Age Outlaws,

1007
00:50:57,500 --> 00:50:59,833
I do feel that this time of year

1008
00:50:59,899 --> 00:51:03,299
it is better to give than to receive.

1009
00:51:03,833 --> 00:51:06,899
And I will give you
the beatings of your life.

1010
00:51:07,633 --> 00:51:09,733
And you will receive them.

1011
00:51:09,799 --> 00:51:12,700
It's the fight before Christmas.

1012
00:51:13,466 --> 00:51:14,899
Have a nice day.

1013
00:51:15,766 --> 00:51:18,799
[Ross] We understand that
the Road Dogg and Billy Gunn

1014
00:51:18,866 --> 00:51:21,899
are searching as we speak for Mankind.

1015
00:51:21,966 --> 00:51:24,166
And we have a cameraman following them.

1016
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:26,466
[Cornette] What the heck?

1017
00:51:26,533 --> 00:51:28,399
[whispering]

1018
00:51:32,466 --> 00:51:34,766
[Ross] They're certainly
in the bowels of the building.

1019
00:51:37,366 --> 00:51:39,566
[Cornette] Looked like
they're going into a coal mine.

1020
00:51:40,766 --> 00:51:42,966
-[whispering]
-[clattering]

1021
00:51:43,833 --> 00:51:45,633
-[Ross] Is that Mankind?
-[Road Dogg] Stop.

1022
00:51:46,333 --> 00:51:49,633
-[metal clanging]
-[Cornette] They got him.

1023
00:51:50,333 --> 00:51:52,000
[Ross] Look at the assault.

1024
00:51:52,066 --> 00:51:54,700
The New Age Outlaws
assaulting Mankind here.

1025
00:51:54,766 --> 00:51:57,100
-Go get the light. We got him!
-[Road Dogg] We got him!

1026
00:51:57,166 --> 00:51:58,766
-[Road Dogg laughing]
-[man coughing]

1027
00:51:58,833 --> 00:52:01,200
Wait, it's not him.

1028
00:52:01,266 --> 00:52:02,866
-[Road Dogg] That ain't him?
-No.

1029
00:52:03,366 --> 00:52:05,266
[Road Dogg] Get your hat.
Let's get out of here.

1030
00:52:05,333 --> 00:52:07,266
[Billy] Let's get out of here.

1031
00:52:07,333 --> 00:52:09,000
[Ross] Well, an innocent person

1032
00:52:09,066 --> 00:52:11,633
just got assaulted by the New Age Outlaws.

1033
00:52:11,700 --> 00:52:15,100
[Howard] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall, 20-minute…

1034
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,399
[Cornette] I'd like to be
their defense lawyer.

1035
00:52:18,433 --> 00:52:20,566
[Ross] There goes Marvelous Marc Mero.

1036
00:52:20,633 --> 00:52:22,966
I don't know where Sable is.
She was here earlier.

1037
00:52:23,033 --> 00:52:26,033
I walked around with a mistletoe
all around my head all day.

1038
00:52:26,700 --> 00:52:28,799
[Cornette] That was poison ivy, JR.

1039
00:52:28,866 --> 00:52:30,933
But where's this outfit
you've been telling me

1040
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:32,866
you've been promo-ing all afternoon?

1041
00:52:32,933 --> 00:52:35,933
Sable was wearing
the hottest outfit known to man.

1042
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,533
You've got me all ready to see this
and now there's no Sable.

1043
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:39,433
Where is Sable?

1044
00:52:39,500 --> 00:52:41,399
[Ross] She's here somewhere.
I saw her earlier.

1045
00:52:41,466 --> 00:52:42,799
[crowd chanting] Sable! Sable!

1046
00:52:43,566 --> 00:52:45,799
[Ross] The fans want to see her as well.

1047
00:52:45,866 --> 00:52:47,966
[Cornette] You've been lying to me
about this outfit.

1048
00:52:48,033 --> 00:52:50,100
Or should I say a small outfit?

1049
00:52:50,166 --> 00:52:51,433
[crowd chanting] Sable! Sable!

1050
00:52:51,500 --> 00:52:52,799
[Ross] I really wasn't. She is--

1051
00:52:52,866 --> 00:52:53,966
Shut up for a second!

1052
00:52:54,633 --> 00:52:55,933
[Ross] She's here and she's hot.

1053
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:57,866
[Cornette] Let's listen to eggnog here.

1054
00:52:57,933 --> 00:52:59,966
[crowd chanting] Sable! Sable! Sable!

1055
00:53:00,100 --> 00:53:04,066
Christmas is a marvelous time of the year.

1056
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:10,833
And I wanna thank
all the Marvelous Marc Mero fans

1057
00:53:11,399 --> 00:53:14,466
that braved this cold winter's night

1058
00:53:14,533 --> 00:53:19,233
to come and see the greatest
boxer-wrestler in the world today.

1059
00:53:19,299 --> 00:53:20,266
[Cornette] Both of them?

1060
00:53:20,333 --> 00:53:21,533
[crowd chanting] Sable! Sable!

1061
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:23,600
[Ross] There's what everybody came to see.

1062
00:53:23,666 --> 00:53:24,733
Not you there, buddy.

1063
00:53:25,299 --> 00:53:26,500
And because of that,

1064
00:53:27,333 --> 00:53:32,266
I've got something special
for each and every one of my fans.

1065
00:53:32,333 --> 00:53:34,633
[crowd chanting] Sable! Sable!

1066
00:53:34,700 --> 00:53:36,233
[Ross] That should be a short list.

1067
00:53:36,299 --> 00:53:40,366
Now I know I've said before I didn't want
anybody to look at my property,

1068
00:53:40,833 --> 00:53:43,566
but today,
because I'm in the Christmas spirit,

1069
00:53:43,899 --> 00:53:45,666
I'm making an exception.

1070
00:53:46,299 --> 00:53:49,433
Sable, Sable, if you're able,

1071
00:53:49,500 --> 00:53:53,133
come on out from that reindeer stable.

1072
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,200
[Cornette] Now we're gonna see
this outfit you're telling me about.

1073
00:53:56,266 --> 00:53:59,100
This skimpy little, abbreviated--

1074
00:53:59,166 --> 00:54:00,233
[Ross] It's a dandy.

1075
00:54:00,299 --> 00:54:02,333
["We Wish You a Merry Christmas" playing]

1076
00:54:02,399 --> 00:54:05,233
-[Ross] Oh, wait. Wait a minute.
-[Cornette] What the--

1077
00:54:05,299 --> 00:54:06,200
[Ross] That's not it.

1078
00:54:06,266 --> 00:54:10,433
If that's Sable, that isn't the outfit
that I saw her in earlier today.

1079
00:54:10,500 --> 00:54:11,600
[Marc] Come here, sweetie.

1080
00:54:11,666 --> 00:54:13,966
[Cornette] You think I wanna open up
a petting zoo?

1081
00:54:14,033 --> 00:54:16,566
This is what you've been
telling me about all day?

1082
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:20,799
-[Ross] This is about derogation.
-[Marc] Come on, baby. I'm right here.

1083
00:54:20,866 --> 00:54:23,466
[Ross] Marvelous is trying
to belittle Sable again

1084
00:54:23,866 --> 00:54:27,666
if that is indeed Sable
in that Rudolph costume.

1085
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:30,166
Come on in.

1086
00:54:30,333 --> 00:54:34,533
Everybody wants to see my little manager.

1087
00:54:35,933 --> 00:54:37,700
Come here, my little doe.

1088
00:54:40,500 --> 00:54:43,399
You look marvelous.

1089
00:54:46,133 --> 00:54:49,233
Boy, you got a nice set of antlers.

1090
00:54:50,299 --> 00:54:51,500
Are they real?

1091
00:54:54,166 --> 00:54:57,666
Now I told you,
things are gonna be my way.

1092
00:55:00,333 --> 00:55:03,200
Now, disrobe me, Sable!

1093
00:55:05,366 --> 00:55:07,500
[Cornette] Mero reminds me
of Ralph Kramden.

1094
00:55:07,933 --> 00:55:10,133
My little doe. [laughs]

1095
00:55:11,799 --> 00:55:15,100
[Ross] What a-- He is absolutely a…

1096
00:55:15,766 --> 00:55:18,733
-Well, it's appalling, quite frankly.
-[Marc] Wait a minute.

1097
00:55:18,799 --> 00:55:20,866
[Cornette] A potato sack
a couple of weeks ago.

1098
00:55:20,933 --> 00:55:22,733
[Marc laughs]

1099
00:55:22,799 --> 00:55:26,200
-[Cornette] At least the nose works.
-[Marc] It lights up when you're mad.

1100
00:55:26,266 --> 00:55:27,466
Get out of the ring!

1101
00:55:27,566 --> 00:55:29,466
[Cornette] Potato sack
a couple of weeks ago,

1102
00:55:29,533 --> 00:55:30,766
a reindeer outfit now.

1103
00:55:30,833 --> 00:55:33,200
-Get out!
-[crowd booing]

1104
00:55:35,100 --> 00:55:39,533
Wasn't allowed to play
in any reindeer games. [laughs]

1105
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:41,966
[Ross] That's no way to treat a lady.

1106
00:55:42,033 --> 00:55:44,333
[Cornette] That's not even
any way to treat a reindeer.

1107
00:55:47,033 --> 00:55:48,700
-[bell rings]
-[Ross] Marvelous Marc Mero

1108
00:55:48,766 --> 00:55:51,466
to meet, uh,
the light heavyweight, Scott Taylor

1109
00:55:52,133 --> 00:55:54,166
-one-on-one here.
-[Cornette] Goodnight.

1110
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:58,600
[Ross] I promise you, James,
she had a great Santa--

1111
00:55:58,666 --> 00:56:01,600
Wait a minute, Sable has taken her,
uh, head off here.

1112
00:56:01,666 --> 00:56:02,600
[crowd cheering]

1113
00:56:02,666 --> 00:56:04,633
[Ross] Well, she's losing her head.

1114
00:56:04,700 --> 00:56:06,766
[Cornette] She's taken her,
whatever it is, off.

1115
00:56:06,833 --> 00:56:08,333
She didn't take her head off.

1116
00:56:08,399 --> 00:56:11,799
That's still somewhat
attached to her shoulders.

1117
00:56:13,066 --> 00:56:16,866
Is there gonna be a wrestling match?
Yes, there is.

1118
00:56:16,933 --> 00:56:20,966
Holy mackerel! And Taylor looks like
he's doing pretty well for himself.

1119
00:56:21,033 --> 00:56:25,666
[Ross] Scott's gotta use his quickness
here on the greatest boxer-wrestler.

1120
00:56:25,799 --> 00:56:28,266
At least, self-proclaimed,
Marvelous Marc Mero.

1121
00:56:28,333 --> 00:56:30,666
-[Cornette] Whoa!
-[Ross] Taylor avoids the contact.

1122
00:56:31,966 --> 00:56:33,633
Takes, uh, Mero down.

1123
00:56:34,033 --> 00:56:36,966
And Mero's done so much talking,
he may be fatigued.

1124
00:56:37,966 --> 00:56:40,133
[Cornette] I think
he's already blown himself up

1125
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:42,733
with his, uh, reindeer presentation.

1126
00:56:42,799 --> 00:56:46,666
[Ross] There's a cover
and, uh, Mero, certainly,

1127
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,899
has had his share of problems
and still has problems

1128
00:56:49,966 --> 00:56:51,733
with our good old buddy, Butterbean.

1129
00:56:51,799 --> 00:56:53,333
That deal's far from over.

1130
00:56:53,399 --> 00:56:55,500
[Cornette] Well, not to mention,
Tom Brandi,

1131
00:56:55,600 --> 00:57:00,266
that he got into a big dressing room
schmoz with just this past weekend

1132
00:57:00,333 --> 00:57:03,299
when he found out that Tom Brandi
was watching the monitor

1133
00:57:03,366 --> 00:57:04,799
alongside of Sable.

1134
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,299
They got in a big brawl there.

1135
00:57:07,433 --> 00:57:11,133
He's had problems with Brandi
for the past few weeks now over Sable.

1136
00:57:11,566 --> 00:57:16,399
[Ross] He has a problem with everybody
that doesn't acquiesce to his greatness.

1137
00:57:17,033 --> 00:57:18,899
He's got an inferiority complex.

1138
00:57:19,166 --> 00:57:20,700
He's living on potential.

1139
00:57:21,700 --> 00:57:25,466
The fans didn't come to see Mero,
they came to see Sable. It's that simple.

1140
00:57:25,533 --> 00:57:27,466
[Cornette] Sable's the star
of the show, yeah.

1141
00:57:27,533 --> 00:57:29,799
And that's what is eating Mero to death,

1142
00:57:29,866 --> 00:57:34,066
but I think he ought to concentrate more
on winning his wrestling matches

1143
00:57:34,133 --> 00:57:37,500
and beating some top opponents
instead of pushing Sable around

1144
00:57:37,566 --> 00:57:38,700
and telling her what to do.

1145
00:57:39,633 --> 00:57:41,966
[Ross] Well, there's a cover.
Roll-up right there.

1146
00:57:42,033 --> 00:57:43,866
And a near fall by Scott Taylor.

1147
00:57:44,466 --> 00:57:46,566
I don't know why Sable stands by this man

1148
00:57:46,633 --> 00:57:50,266
but she's a lot more dedicated to her
than he is to--

1149
00:57:50,799 --> 00:57:52,133
[Cornette] I know what you mean.

1150
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,000
[Ross] You know what I meant. Cover.

1151
00:57:54,066 --> 00:57:56,033
Scott Taylor with a nice move.

1152
00:57:57,100 --> 00:57:59,033
For some reason she stands by her man,

1153
00:57:59,633 --> 00:58:01,766
and, uh, t's beyond me.

1154
00:58:02,299 --> 00:58:06,266
[Cornette] Well, we've seen a lot
of bizarre Christmas outfits here tonight.

1155
00:58:06,333 --> 00:58:07,766
Oh, TKO.

1156
00:58:07,833 --> 00:58:09,000
[Ross] Total Knock Out.

1157
00:58:09,066 --> 00:58:12,100
James E. Cornette almost fell out
of his chair on that one.

1158
00:58:12,166 --> 00:58:13,733
-[Cornette] Holy mackerel.
-[bell rings]

1159
00:58:13,799 --> 00:58:16,333
[Ross] And Marvelous Marc Mero
with a victory.

1160
00:58:16,399 --> 00:58:18,166
[Howard] …Marvelous Marc Mero!

1161
00:58:18,233 --> 00:58:19,733
[Ross] He wants all the spotlight.

1162
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:23,033
Wants all the attention on him.

1163
00:58:24,466 --> 00:58:29,299
And how humiliating for Marvelous
to make Sable wear that

1164
00:58:30,399 --> 00:58:33,166
rather, uh, silly
reindeer costume out here.

1165
00:58:33,233 --> 00:58:36,766
[Cornette] Well, I got a real
easy solution for Mr. Mero.

1166
00:58:36,833 --> 00:58:38,866
He will be the star of the show

1167
00:58:38,933 --> 00:58:41,100
-when Sable… Oh.
-[Ross] Oh, come on.

1168
00:58:41,166 --> 00:58:43,100
[Cornette] For good measure, a low blow.

1169
00:58:43,166 --> 00:58:46,833
When Sable runs off and leaves him
because he pushes her to it,

1170
00:58:46,899 --> 00:58:48,833
then he's gonna be the star of the show.

1171
00:58:48,899 --> 00:58:50,666
He's gonna be the only member of it.

1172
00:58:50,733 --> 00:58:52,733
[Ross] Wait a minute,
here comes Tom Brandi.

1173
00:58:52,799 --> 00:58:54,066
Brandi on his way to the ring

1174
00:58:54,133 --> 00:58:57,100
and Brandi's not gonna
stand for this any longer.

1175
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:00,766
Brandi and Mero got in that locker room
brawl over the weekend.

1176
00:59:00,833 --> 00:59:03,466
They've had quite the rivalry
in the last couple of weeks.

1177
00:59:03,533 --> 00:59:05,600
A dropkick by the big Italian.

1178
00:59:05,966 --> 00:59:08,399
[Cornette] Brandi, he's all over Mero.

1179
00:59:09,566 --> 00:59:11,233
[Ross] And Mero making a U-turn.

1180
00:59:12,733 --> 00:59:13,700
And… Oh!

1181
00:59:13,766 --> 00:59:17,033
Mero… Oh, Mero hit his knee
in the security railing.

1182
00:59:17,466 --> 00:59:18,966
Mero goes down.

1183
00:59:19,933 --> 00:59:22,366
Tom Brandi just not gonna stand by

1184
00:59:22,433 --> 00:59:26,266
and watch Marvelous Marc Mero
take advantage of any athlete,

1185
00:59:26,333 --> 00:59:28,633
especially the light heavyweight,
Scott Taylor.

1186
00:59:28,700 --> 00:59:31,866
-And it looks like Mero has left the--
-[Cornette] Hey, hey, hey!

1187
00:59:31,933 --> 00:59:34,766
Look at Sable.
She's walking away from Mero.

1188
00:59:34,833 --> 00:59:37,799
-She turned her back on Mero.
-[Ross] I don't blame her.

1189
00:59:38,133 --> 00:59:40,066
-[Cornette] And she--
-[Ross] Oh, there she goes.

1190
00:59:40,133 --> 00:59:41,899
[Ross] That's what
I was telling you about.

1191
00:59:41,966 --> 00:59:44,799
-[Cornette] Whoa!
-[Ross] Now that is Santa's little helper.

1192
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:47,700
["Wild Cat" playing]

1193
00:59:47,766 --> 00:59:50,033
[Ross] What would you like
for Christmas, Mr. Cornette?

1194
00:59:50,100 --> 00:59:51,366
[Cornette] I've got a list.

1195
00:59:52,333 --> 00:59:55,200
I'm just wondering
what she was helping Santa do.

1196
00:59:55,266 --> 00:59:56,799
[Ross] I'm gonna check it twice.

1197
01:00:02,066 --> 01:00:06,666
Now that's what you call spreading
the old holiday cheer right there, folks.

1198
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:12,166
[Cornette] Well, folks are most happy that
Sable finally, uh, unveiled herself.

1199
01:00:12,233 --> 01:00:15,566
I would like to wish
each and every one of you

1200
01:00:16,166 --> 01:00:18,966
a very merry Christmas.

1201
01:00:19,033 --> 01:00:20,966
[crowd cheering]

1202
01:00:21,033 --> 01:00:23,100
[Ross] Can she fit in my stocking?

1203
01:00:24,100 --> 01:00:27,166
[Cornette] As a matter of fact,
I think she along with an 18-wheeler

1204
01:00:27,233 --> 01:00:28,466
would fit in your stocking.

1205
01:00:28,533 --> 01:00:30,133
[crowd chanting] Sable! Sable!

1206
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:32,399
[Ross] What else
is gonna happen here tonight?

1207
01:00:32,466 --> 01:00:35,500
We know one thing, the European Title
is gonna be on the line.

1208
01:00:40,700 --> 01:00:43,666
[Ross] Folks, we gotta take it back
to show you what happened earlier,

1209
01:00:43,733 --> 01:00:46,933
when Owen Hart attacked Triple H, James.

1210
01:00:47,033 --> 01:00:49,233
[Cornette] That's right,
Owen Hart from out of nowhere,

1211
01:00:49,299 --> 01:00:51,299
right behind Helmsley, down on him

1212
01:00:51,366 --> 01:00:53,433
and before anybody could stop him,

1213
01:00:53,566 --> 01:00:56,333
he had knocked Helmsley's nogging off.

1214
01:00:56,399 --> 01:00:59,000
[Ross] And folks,
that match will happen tonight.

1215
01:00:59,066 --> 01:01:01,666
Michaels and Helmsley
for the European Title.

1216
01:01:02,899 --> 01:01:05,466
[Ross] Well, standing by
in his locker room is Triple H

1217
01:01:05,533 --> 01:01:07,600
and do you realize that within the hour

1218
01:01:07,666 --> 01:01:09,700
you're gonna get it on
with your best buddy?

1219
01:01:09,766 --> 01:01:11,700
You're damn right
it's less than an hour away.

1220
01:01:11,766 --> 01:01:15,633
If this is what Shawn Michaels wants,
this is what Shawn Michaels is gonna get.

1221
01:01:18,233 --> 01:01:20,700
What do you mean I have nothing to prove
by kicking his ass?

1222
01:01:20,766 --> 01:01:24,566
He's always out here,
"Oh, I'm The Showstopper, I'm The Icon.

1223
01:01:24,633 --> 01:01:26,066
I'm The Main Event."

1224
01:01:26,133 --> 01:01:27,600
I got everything to prove.

1225
01:01:29,899 --> 01:01:32,299
Yeah, well, I mean
I got my lucky shirt on, but so what?

1226
01:01:32,366 --> 01:01:34,666
Shawn Michaels,
you've got a lesson to be taught

1227
01:01:34,733 --> 01:01:36,233
and I'm gonna teach it to you.

1228
01:01:37,933 --> 01:01:41,666
[Ross] That match is still to come
right here tonight for the European Title.

1229
01:01:41,733 --> 01:01:44,633
[Cornette] This is gonna be good.
They're gonna rip each other to shreds

1230
01:01:44,700 --> 01:01:46,033
and I can't wait to see it.

1231
01:01:46,500 --> 01:01:49,733
[Ross] Battle of the big men here.
8-Ball of DOA

1232
01:01:49,799 --> 01:01:52,133
to take on The Jackyl's Kurrgan.

1233
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:55,333
I have unleashed a monster
on the World Wrestling Entertainment

1234
01:01:55,399 --> 01:01:57,533
of mythic proportions.

1235
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:02,600
He is a genetic mutation
formerly known as The Interrogator.

1236
01:02:02,666 --> 01:02:06,133
Now he is Kurrgan.

1237
01:02:07,233 --> 01:02:09,533
[Ross] I'd like to know
who the holiday prankster is

1238
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:11,866
that keeps giving The Jackyl
a live microphone.

1239
01:02:11,933 --> 01:02:13,700
[Cornette] Wait a minute.
Look at this now.

1240
01:02:13,766 --> 01:02:16,066
This guy, he is incredible

1241
01:02:16,133 --> 01:02:18,966
The power,
the pull that he has over people.

1242
01:02:19,033 --> 01:02:21,733
He's never been here before,
this woman has never met him

1243
01:02:21,799 --> 01:02:25,433
and look at him…
A pretty, young girl and automatically…

1244
01:02:26,533 --> 01:02:29,666
[Jackyl] …saved from a life of ignorance
and mendacity,

1245
01:02:30,433 --> 01:02:32,666
charmed by my charisma.

1246
01:02:32,733 --> 01:02:33,966
[Ross] Kool-Aid anyone?

1247
01:02:34,033 --> 01:02:37,600
[Cornette] Charmed. That's the whole…
keyword there is charmed.

1248
01:02:37,666 --> 01:02:39,200
-He charms everybody.
-[bell rings]

1249
01:02:39,266 --> 01:02:41,633
[Jackyl] I said it before,
I never wanted violence

1250
01:02:41,700 --> 01:02:43,866
but the violence found me,
and when it did,

1251
01:02:44,333 --> 01:02:48,966
I brought a 7-foot monster
to the World Wrestling Entertainment.

1252
01:02:49,033 --> 01:02:53,500
The Kurrgan. Kurrgan is the Alpha
and the Omega of my life.

1253
01:02:54,033 --> 01:02:57,500
He is a man who makes my dreams a reality

1254
01:02:57,566 --> 01:03:01,533
and as I said, heaven help the man
who sees the things that I see.

1255
01:03:02,500 --> 01:03:04,733
[Ross] I think the audio man's
been in the eggnog.

1256
01:03:04,799 --> 01:03:06,866
You can turn the microphone off
it'll be all right.

1257
01:03:06,933 --> 01:03:09,233
And right now it's 8-Ball, who's 6'8",

1258
01:03:09,299 --> 01:03:11,799
going after the legs of Kurrgan.

1259
01:03:11,866 --> 01:03:14,799
[Jackyl] I felt it necessary to interrupt
your broadcast in this manner.

1260
01:03:14,866 --> 01:03:18,366
I don't wish to be rude, however,
the World Wrestling Entertainment

1261
01:03:18,433 --> 01:03:21,233
and the invidious nature
of the broadcasters

1262
01:03:21,299 --> 01:03:24,533
has sought to besmirch my good name,

1263
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:27,100
referring to me
as some sort of cult leader.

1264
01:03:27,266 --> 01:03:29,466
This clearly is not the case.

1265
01:03:29,533 --> 01:03:31,899
I'm a man who quite simply has a message.

1266
01:03:31,966 --> 01:03:35,466
The message is,
the revolution of The Jackyl has begun.

1267
01:03:35,533 --> 01:03:37,966
And as they say with revolutions,

1268
01:03:38,033 --> 01:03:41,166
you either get with it
or get trampled by it.

1269
01:03:41,666 --> 01:03:44,766
[Cornette] JR, there's nothing
I hate worse than a motormouth manager.

1270
01:03:44,833 --> 01:03:46,399
[Ross] I've been saying that for years.

1271
01:03:47,100 --> 01:03:48,166
[Cornette] You have-- Hey.

1272
01:03:48,233 --> 01:03:50,566
[Ross] 8-Ball now
hammering away at Kurrgan.

1273
01:03:50,633 --> 01:03:53,733
No one, thus far, has been able
to dent the armor of Kurrgan.

1274
01:03:53,833 --> 01:03:55,700
-[Cornette] Look! Whoa!
-[Ross] Uh-oh!

1275
01:03:55,766 --> 01:03:58,600
[Cornette] Jackyl got up,
he fumbled the microphone I think

1276
01:03:58,666 --> 01:04:00,533
and now 8-Ball is going after him.

1277
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:02,100
Please, get the microphone.

1278
01:04:02,166 --> 01:04:05,133
[Ross] I don't know if Kurrgan's
entering the Royal Rumble, but if he does,

1279
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:08,233
he could be one the odds-on favorite,
one would assume,

1280
01:04:08,299 --> 01:04:10,933
simply because of his size and power,
if nothing else.

1281
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:14,233
[Jackyl] Once again proving
the superior intellect

1282
01:04:14,299 --> 01:04:17,533
will always win out over superior size.

1283
01:04:19,533 --> 01:04:21,666
[Cornette] I'm begging somebody
to get the microphone.

1284
01:04:21,733 --> 01:04:22,733
I'm daring 'em.

1285
01:04:24,566 --> 01:04:26,633
I think The Jackyl needs
a gag for Christmas.

1286
01:04:28,033 --> 01:04:29,366
[Cornette] Look at Kurrgan.

1287
01:04:29,433 --> 01:04:32,566
[Jackyl] Once again,
Kurrgan proving what I've said before.

1288
01:04:33,233 --> 01:04:38,533
That bigger is better when you've got
a brain like mine behind it.

1289
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:40,399
I stated before to him,

1290
01:04:40,799 --> 01:04:43,833
"I've got the brains,
you've got the brawn.

1291
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:45,566
Let's make lots of money."

1292
01:04:46,899 --> 01:04:49,399
[Ross] I knew it would come to that
sooner or later, the money.

1293
01:04:49,466 --> 01:04:51,500
It's not about his beliefs in life.

1294
01:04:51,566 --> 01:04:52,966
It's all about money.

1295
01:04:53,133 --> 01:04:55,200
[Cornette] And he wants to talk about
him, him, him.

1296
01:04:55,266 --> 01:04:58,366
And then, he wants to talk about you,
what do you think about him.

1297
01:04:58,966 --> 01:05:00,866
[Ross] Look at 8-Ball,
gaining some momentum.

1298
01:05:00,933 --> 01:05:03,266
Got the big man down to one knee.

1299
01:05:03,333 --> 01:05:05,333
-[Cornette] Whoa!
-[Ross] And The Jackyl…

1300
01:05:06,100 --> 01:05:07,766
Jackyl distracting 8-Ball.

1301
01:05:07,833 --> 01:05:10,233
8-Ball was building some offense there.

1302
01:05:10,299 --> 01:05:12,100
The big man from DOA.

1303
01:05:12,166 --> 01:05:14,899
And look, there's a sidewalk slam
by Kurrgan.

1304
01:05:14,966 --> 01:05:17,000
[Jackyl] Not a hair on my head
will be touched.

1305
01:05:17,066 --> 01:05:19,533
[Ross] There's a cover.
One, two and three.

1306
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:21,366
-[bell rings]
-…and tonight, they came true.

1307
01:05:22,166 --> 01:05:25,399
[Howard] Here's your winner,
Kurrgan The Interrogator.

1308
01:05:25,466 --> 01:05:27,966
[Cornette] I'll tell you one thing, JR,
like you were saying,

1309
01:05:28,033 --> 01:05:32,399
if Kurrgan does enter the Royal Rumble,
who could stop him?

1310
01:05:32,533 --> 01:05:33,700
Who could eliminate him?

1311
01:05:33,766 --> 01:05:36,299
Wait a minute. 8-Ball's not done yet.

1312
01:05:36,366 --> 01:05:37,266
[bell rings]

1313
01:05:37,333 --> 01:05:40,200
[Ross] 8-Ball now
trying to manhandle The Jackyl.

1314
01:05:40,266 --> 01:05:42,299
Can't say we blame him for that.
Wait a minute.

1315
01:05:42,366 --> 01:05:44,133
There's the rest of The Truth Commission.

1316
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:46,166
-Recon and Sniper now.
-[bell rings]

1317
01:05:46,233 --> 01:05:48,033
[Ross] And the members
of The Truth Commission

1318
01:05:48,100 --> 01:05:49,666
doing a number on 8-Ball.

1319
01:05:49,733 --> 01:05:51,066
[Cornette] Wait, there's Skull.

1320
01:05:51,133 --> 01:05:53,066
[Ross] And Skull's got a 2X4.

1321
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:58,133
[Cornette] Ooh! He baseball batted Recon
right in the stomach with that thing.

1322
01:05:58,200 --> 01:05:59,033
He's gone nuts.

1323
01:05:59,966 --> 01:06:03,133
[Ross] I tell you what.
You don't wanna cross the DOA,

1324
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:04,700
unless you're ready for a fight.

1325
01:06:04,766 --> 01:06:05,866
[crowd cheering]

1326
01:06:06,466 --> 01:06:07,799
[Ross] That man is not stable.

1327
01:06:08,133 --> 01:06:12,433
Maybe none of the guys
in The Truth Commission are very stable,

1328
01:06:12,500 --> 01:06:14,366
but that man is certainly not.

1329
01:06:14,433 --> 01:06:15,666
[Cornette] They're not stable.

1330
01:06:15,733 --> 01:06:18,266
That's why The Jackyl
controls them like he does.

1331
01:06:18,333 --> 01:06:21,200
You can see it in their eyes.
They'd do anything for him.

1332
01:06:21,266 --> 01:06:24,299
[Ross] Folks, our cameraman,
we understand, is still following,

1333
01:06:24,366 --> 01:06:28,366
uh, the New Age Outlaws
in their search for Mankind.

1334
01:06:33,333 --> 01:06:35,666
[Cornette] But are they
searching for Mankind

1335
01:06:35,733 --> 01:06:37,399
or is Mankind searching for them?

1336
01:06:37,466 --> 01:06:38,799
-[Road Dogg] See him?
-[Billy] No.

1337
01:06:38,866 --> 01:06:40,399
[Ross] Could be an ambush right here.

1338
01:06:40,466 --> 01:06:41,700
[Road Dogg] Where is he?

1339
01:06:42,533 --> 01:06:45,600
-[Ross] Are they the hunted?
-[Cornette] Or the hunter?

1340
01:06:48,266 --> 01:06:50,299
[Ross] Back in the bowels
of the building here.

1341
01:06:51,233 --> 01:06:53,133
[Cornette] This building's got
a lot of bowels.

1342
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:54,366
[thump]

1343
01:06:54,466 --> 01:06:56,433
[Road Dogg] Billy, do you see him?

1344
01:06:56,500 --> 01:06:58,299
[Billy] No, not yet. I can't see nothing.

1345
01:06:59,533 --> 01:07:01,000
[clattering]

1346
01:07:01,799 --> 01:07:03,399
-What are you doing?
-Sorry.

1347
01:07:03,466 --> 01:07:04,500
[Cornette] Scared me.

1348
01:07:05,500 --> 01:07:07,366
[Ross] Ambush. It's what it's gonna be.

1349
01:07:08,366 --> 01:07:10,200
[Cornette] Well,
Mankind maybe laying a trap

1350
01:07:10,266 --> 01:07:12,333
for Laurel and Hardy there to fall into,

1351
01:07:12,399 --> 01:07:14,899
but still to come,
the European Title on the line.

1352
01:07:14,966 --> 01:07:18,600
Triple H against Shawn Michaels.
I can't wait for this.

1353
01:07:18,666 --> 01:07:21,299
[Ross] And coming up next,
the World's most dangerous man

1354
01:07:21,366 --> 01:07:23,133
attempts to conquer a nation.

1355
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:27,533
Ken Shamrock in one-on-one competition
and that is next.

1356
01:07:29,133 --> 01:07:32,100
[narrator] And now,
the 1-800-COLLECT Rewind.

1357
01:07:32,166 --> 01:07:35,633
1-800-COLLECT.
The collect call that saves.

1358
01:07:36,100 --> 01:07:38,933
[Ross] Earlier tonight,
we thought The Undertaker had had enough

1359
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,933
when he was confronted
once again by his brother, Kane.

1360
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,833
[Cornette] Well, Undertaker had vowed
never to raise a hand in anger

1361
01:07:44,899 --> 01:07:46,200
to his own flesh and blood.

1362
01:07:46,266 --> 01:07:49,433
But as you can see,
Kane had no such qualms

1363
01:07:49,500 --> 01:07:50,899
about doing the same.

1364
01:07:50,966 --> 01:07:53,700
[Bearer] Are you gonna fight back, Phenom?

1365
01:07:55,166 --> 01:07:57,666
[narrator] That was
the 1-800-COLLECT Rewind.

1366
01:07:57,733 --> 01:08:01,000
1-800-COLLECT.
The collect call that saves.

1367
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:06,866
[Ross] Still to come,
the European Title on the line.

1368
01:08:06,933 --> 01:08:08,833
Helmsley versus Michaels.

1369
01:08:08,899 --> 01:08:11,299
[Cornette] This may be
an early Christmas present for me.

1370
01:08:11,366 --> 01:08:12,766
D-Generation X may fall apart.

1371
01:08:12,833 --> 01:08:15,100
Earlier tonight,
Michaels stuck his foot in his mouth.

1372
01:08:16,099 --> 01:08:20,166
I will defend this title against anybody,

1373
01:08:20,233 --> 01:08:24,200
anywhere, anytime, pal.

1374
01:08:24,733 --> 01:08:27,899
Your opponent tonight will be…

1375
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:33,066
-Hunter Hearst-Helmsley.
-[crowd cheering]

1376
01:08:33,133 --> 01:08:34,399
[Ross] A battle of the egos

1377
01:08:34,466 --> 01:08:36,800
for the European Title
will happen tonight.

1378
01:08:37,399 --> 01:08:40,399
Shawn Michaels to meet
Hunter Hearst-Helmsley.

1379
01:08:40,466 --> 01:08:43,133
And we're about to take a look
at the young prodigy

1380
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:45,966
of the Nation of Domination, D-Lo Brown.

1381
01:08:46,566 --> 01:08:48,399
I don't see the The Rock anywhere, Jamesy.

1382
01:08:48,466 --> 01:08:51,466
[Cornette] I think The Rock
must still be Tombstone drunk.

1383
01:08:51,533 --> 01:08:53,800
He wrestled The Undertaker
earlier in the evening

1384
01:08:53,866 --> 01:08:55,099
and got dropped on his head.

1385
01:08:55,166 --> 01:09:00,566
[Howard] …243 pounds,
the World's most dangerous man,

1386
01:09:00,633 --> 01:09:03,266
Ken Shamrock.

1387
01:09:03,333 --> 01:09:06,466
[Ross] What an ovation for the
World's most dangerous man, Ken Shamrock.

1388
01:09:06,899 --> 01:09:10,399
And our congratulations go out
to Ken's younger brother, Frank,

1389
01:09:10,466 --> 01:09:14,566
who became the first ever UFC
Middleweight Champion over the weekend

1390
01:09:14,633 --> 01:09:18,233
with a 22 second submission victory.

1391
01:09:18,733 --> 01:09:22,000
[Cornette] What is it? Is it
family tradition in the Shamrock family

1392
01:09:22,066 --> 01:09:25,899
that every single one of them has to be
just about the baddest man breathing?

1393
01:09:27,099 --> 01:09:30,033
[Ross] It was a great outing
for young Frank Shamrock

1394
01:09:30,099 --> 01:09:32,300
and credit to his brother
for helping train him.

1395
01:09:32,366 --> 01:09:35,899
But we are far from
the octagon here tonight

1396
01:09:36,433 --> 01:09:40,733
on a very un-Bob Hope like
Christmas edition of the War Zone.

1397
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:43,766
[Cornette] Did you hear they canceled
The Bob Hope Christmas Specials?

1398
01:09:43,833 --> 01:09:47,500
[Ross] He had that problem
with the Depends thing. Nothing worked.

1399
01:09:47,566 --> 01:09:49,233
And look at that kick right to the thigh.

1400
01:09:50,266 --> 01:09:53,500
The largest muscle in the body
is the quadricep, that's the thigh muscle.

1401
01:09:53,566 --> 01:09:57,233
And that's exactly what Ken Shamrock's
gonna try to knot up here

1402
01:09:57,300 --> 01:09:59,200
with some stiff kicks right to the thigh.

1403
01:09:59,266 --> 01:10:01,433
[Cornette] Well, it only makes sense
if you cause pain

1404
01:10:01,500 --> 01:10:03,099
to the largest muscle in the body.

1405
01:10:03,166 --> 01:10:05,266
Then that's gonna be
the most pain you can cause.

1406
01:10:05,333 --> 01:10:09,733
[Ross] Shamrock has already entered
the 1998 Royal Rumble

1407
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:11,366
in his neck of the woods,

1408
01:10:11,500 --> 01:10:14,766
out in the Bay Area in San Jose.
Shamrock from northern California.

1409
01:10:14,833 --> 01:10:17,400
-[Cornette] Oh, look at that.
-[Ross] Nice leg lace takedown.

1410
01:10:17,466 --> 01:10:19,599
And Shamrock looking
for a submission right here.

1411
01:10:19,666 --> 01:10:21,433
[Cornette] He's already
going to the joints.

1412
01:10:21,500 --> 01:10:23,166
He's gonna go to the ankle or the knee.

1413
01:10:23,233 --> 01:10:25,933
Look at that. That puts the pressure
on the knee right there

1414
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,133
and D-Lo Brown just got to the ropes.

1415
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:32,966
He's gonna go for the ankles, the knees,
the shoulders and the elbows.

1416
01:10:33,033 --> 01:10:36,500
Joint pain. You can see again
as we take a look what Ken did.

1417
01:10:36,566 --> 01:10:40,500
The leg lace put tremendous pressure
on the knee.

1418
01:10:40,566 --> 01:10:43,833
[Ross] Our 1-800-COLLECT double feature
certainly documenting

1419
01:10:43,933 --> 01:10:46,433
the outstanding technique of Ken Shamrock.

1420
01:10:46,933 --> 01:10:52,166
Shamrock was robbed of the WWE Title
on December 7th at D-Generation X.

1421
01:10:52,233 --> 01:10:55,800
There's no doubt about that
and there's no doubt in my view

1422
01:10:55,866 --> 01:10:59,266
that someday, and I think
it's gonna come in early 1998

1423
01:10:59,333 --> 01:11:02,700
that Ken Shamrock
will be the WWE Champion.

1424
01:11:02,766 --> 01:11:04,099
I think it is inevitable.

1425
01:11:04,166 --> 01:11:07,466
Nice fireman carry takeover
by the World's most dangerous man,

1426
01:11:07,533 --> 01:11:11,200
who can beat you with submission
and he can beat you with technique.

1427
01:11:11,266 --> 01:11:13,700
And catch-as-catch-can style
right there, nice roll-up.

1428
01:11:13,766 --> 01:11:15,200
And a near fall.

1429
01:11:15,266 --> 01:11:17,833
[Cornette] Well, he says he was robbed
and he was robbed

1430
01:11:17,900 --> 01:11:21,066
and that's why he was the first man
to enter the Royal Rumble

1431
01:11:21,133 --> 01:11:23,933
because he wants to win
that Royal Rumble match

1432
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:26,033
and get another chance
at the championship.

1433
01:11:26,366 --> 01:11:28,599
[Ross] But to win the Royal Rumble
on January 18th,

1434
01:11:28,933 --> 01:11:34,466
you gotta go through 29 other
WWE superstars and that is not easy.

1435
01:11:34,533 --> 01:11:36,166
But the rewards are great.

1436
01:11:36,233 --> 01:11:41,300
The winner of the Royal Rumble will meet
the WWE Champion at WrestleMania.

1437
01:11:42,866 --> 01:11:44,200
[Cornette] You can see Shamrock,

1438
01:11:44,266 --> 01:11:46,333
he's trying to jockey
D-Lo Brown into position.

1439
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:50,433
As I mentioned, he will go for the joints
and there is no pain more excruciating

1440
01:11:50,533 --> 01:11:51,733
than joint pain.

1441
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:53,533
When you can take a joint out of socket--

1442
01:11:53,599 --> 01:11:55,633
-KO!
-[Ross] Oh, belly-to-belly suplex.

1443
01:11:56,300 --> 01:11:58,333
Oh, what a move there by Shamrock.

1444
01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:00,300
-An explosive belly--
-[Cornette] There it is.

1445
01:12:00,366 --> 01:12:01,800
[Ross] The ankle submission!

1446
01:12:01,866 --> 01:12:04,466
The ankle lock
and D-Lo Brown is tapping out.

1447
01:12:04,533 --> 01:12:08,099
Shamrock wins it convincingly
by submission.

1448
01:12:08,966 --> 01:12:10,766
But the fight may not be over.

1449
01:12:10,833 --> 01:12:14,666
[Cornette] D-Lo Brown, a wise man,
to give up to stand and fight another day.

1450
01:12:14,733 --> 01:12:15,700
But now Ken--

1451
01:12:15,766 --> 01:12:17,566
The Rock's got something important to say.

1452
01:12:17,700 --> 01:12:18,866
[Ross] There's The Rock.

1453
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:20,233
Good timing, Rock.

1454
01:12:21,099 --> 01:12:22,133
[The Rock] Shut up.

1455
01:12:22,566 --> 01:12:23,866
[Cornette] Well, he heard that.

1456
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:28,633
You know something, Ken Shamrock?

1457
01:12:28,700 --> 01:12:31,366
You damn sure are lucky
with a last name Shamrock,

1458
01:12:31,433 --> 01:12:34,366
because Kenny, at the snap of my fingers,

1459
01:12:34,433 --> 01:12:37,566
the Nation could get in that ring
and chew you up.

1460
01:12:37,633 --> 01:12:38,800
[chuckles]

1461
01:12:38,866 --> 01:12:41,166
[Ross] The Rock's pretty bold.
He's got some backup.

1462
01:12:41,233 --> 01:12:44,633
The Rock's a compassionate man.
The Rock's a very giving man.

1463
01:12:44,700 --> 01:12:47,666
As a matter of fact,
just on a sidenote real quick,

1464
01:12:48,566 --> 01:12:51,766
I know a lot of The Rock's fans
like to know how The Rock exactly feels

1465
01:12:51,833 --> 01:12:53,200
about The Gulf crisis.

1466
01:12:54,266 --> 01:12:55,466
-[Ross] What?
-[Cornette] What?

1467
01:12:55,533 --> 01:12:57,233
-[crowd booing]
-[Ross] Shh.

1468
01:12:57,300 --> 01:13:00,566
Well, actually, it's a very
emotional subject for The Rock

1469
01:13:00,633 --> 01:13:02,033
and The Rock feels this way--

1470
01:13:02,533 --> 01:13:04,233
Then again, that doesn't really matter.

1471
01:13:04,300 --> 01:13:05,933
I'll get back to that some other day.

1472
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:08,900
The Gulf crisis isn't that important,
but what is important--

1473
01:13:08,966 --> 01:13:10,900
[Cornette] Follow your head,
cut to the point.

1474
01:13:10,966 --> 01:13:13,900
Ken Shamrock, everybody calls you
the World's most dangerous man.

1475
01:13:13,966 --> 01:13:16,200
-[crowd cheering]
-[Ross] And for good reason.

1476
01:13:16,266 --> 01:13:17,466
He's earned it.

1477
01:13:17,533 --> 01:13:20,700
And sure, yeah,
you're the king of the UFC.

1478
01:13:20,766 --> 01:13:24,666
Well, everybody knows the UFC
ain't nothing but has-beens and never-was.

1479
01:13:25,166 --> 01:13:26,366
Just like yourself.

1480
01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:32,099
So, again, The Rock's a compassionate man.

1481
01:13:32,533 --> 01:13:34,566
So, during the holiday season,

1482
01:13:34,633 --> 01:13:40,200
The Rock has got a special Christmas gift
given to you.

1483
01:13:41,466 --> 01:13:43,433
And that is a special challenge

1484
01:13:43,900 --> 01:13:45,666
from The Rock-- Don't ever touch me.

1485
01:13:46,266 --> 01:13:50,066
-From The Rock to Ken Shamrock.
-[crowd booing]

1486
01:13:50,133 --> 01:13:55,466
And that is to face me one-on-one
at the Royal Rumble 1998.

1487
01:13:56,066 --> 01:13:57,633
-[Ross] What? [laughs]
-[Cornette] What?

1488
01:13:57,733 --> 01:13:59,400
[Ross] Pretty confident, Rock.

1489
01:13:59,466 --> 01:14:02,400
You also got another
special little gift from The Rock.

1490
01:14:02,466 --> 01:14:04,533
So, not only are you gonna face The Rock,

1491
01:14:04,599 --> 01:14:10,233
but The Rock is gonna put his undisputed
Intercontinental Title on the line.

1492
01:14:11,099 --> 01:14:12,200
[Ross] What a match-up.

1493
01:14:12,266 --> 01:14:14,200
-[Cornette] Huh?
-[Ross] What is he thinking?

1494
01:14:14,266 --> 01:14:16,233
So, as The Rock and the rest of his fans

1495
01:14:16,599 --> 01:14:20,700
ponder your response,

1496
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:23,200
I've got one question for you.

1497
01:14:24,733 --> 01:14:25,966
Do you have the guts?

1498
01:14:27,666 --> 01:14:28,733
Kama, D-Lo.

1499
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:31,366
[Cornette] I don't think
there's any doubt about that answer.

1500
01:14:31,433 --> 01:14:34,033
Does Shamrock have the guts
to go for a championship?

1501
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:36,433
In about one second he does.

1502
01:14:36,500 --> 01:14:39,033
[Ross] What a Christmas gift
for Ken Shamrock.

1503
01:14:39,500 --> 01:14:42,866
Not only will Shamrock be
in the Royal Rumble match itself,

1504
01:14:42,933 --> 01:14:46,133
but Shamrock's also gonna wrestle Rocky--

1505
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:49,233
Oh, excuse me, The Rock,
for the Intercontinental Title

1506
01:14:49,300 --> 01:14:53,933
on January 18th in San Jose
at the Royal Rumble.

1507
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:57,333
[Cornette] Can anybody be
more conceited than The Rock?

1508
01:14:58,166 --> 01:15:02,066
To go out of your way to challenge
the World's most dangerous man.

1509
01:15:02,133 --> 01:15:05,233
Look-- Look at Faarooq.
I don't even think he believes it.

1510
01:15:05,300 --> 01:15:08,300
-What is this guy thinking?
-[Ross] What else is gonna happen?

1511
01:15:08,366 --> 01:15:11,666
We're told the real Santa Claus
is gonna be here.

1512
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:15,133
Let's take you back
to Shawn Michaels locker room.

1513
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:20,166
Shawn, things inside D-X certainly seem
to be getting ugly, don't they?

1514
01:15:20,233 --> 01:15:21,866
You're damn right it's getting ugly.

1515
01:15:21,933 --> 01:15:24,833
The ugliest thing about D-Generation X
is you, Triple H.

1516
01:15:24,900 --> 01:15:26,900
And I'm gonna take care of you
once and for all.

1517
01:15:28,733 --> 01:15:32,466
I know I got nothing to prove.
I'm the WWE and European Champion.

1518
01:15:32,533 --> 01:15:34,400
But still, Triple H
has got a lesson to learn

1519
01:15:34,466 --> 01:15:36,033
and I'm gonna have to teach it to him.

1520
01:15:37,900 --> 01:15:39,233
I know I've got my lucky shirt on

1521
01:15:39,300 --> 01:15:42,866
but the fact of the matter is I'm gonna
have to go out there and smack him around.

1522
01:15:43,966 --> 01:15:45,133
Come on.

1523
01:15:45,333 --> 01:15:48,800
[Ross] We can see the total destruction
of D-Generation X here tonight

1524
01:15:48,866 --> 01:15:52,266
because still to come, Shawn Michaels
will defend the European Title

1525
01:15:52,333 --> 01:15:53,666
against Triple H.

1526
01:15:53,733 --> 01:15:56,800
[Cornette] Well, what I wanna know is
will our two men in the bowels

1527
01:15:56,866 --> 01:15:59,233
be disemboweled courtesy of Mankind.

1528
01:15:59,300 --> 01:16:01,500
We'll check back in when we come back.

1529
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:06,566
[Ross] And well, uh,
our camera's still following,

1530
01:16:06,633 --> 01:16:08,333
uh, Road Dogg and, uh, Billy,

1531
01:16:09,733 --> 01:16:11,700
in the bowels of the building, James.

1532
01:16:12,099 --> 01:16:16,400
[Cornette] Well, we appear now to be
in the innermost bowels of the building.

1533
01:16:16,466 --> 01:16:19,033
There is some movement there.

1534
01:16:19,466 --> 01:16:21,466

-Oh, my God.

1562
01:17:39,566 --> 01:17:41,433
That's what happened to Mrs. Claus

1563
01:17:41,500 --> 01:17:45,000
when they put that nuclear plant
in at the North Pole.

1564
01:17:45,066 --> 01:17:50,866
[Howard] Ladies and gentlemen,
the artist formerly known as Goldust.

1565
01:17:50,933 --> 01:17:53,766
[Ross] Well, Goldust all dressed up
in those Christmas lights.

1566
01:17:53,833 --> 01:17:55,333
And I can tell you one thing,

1567
01:17:55,400 --> 01:17:58,033
all his bulbs aren't on,
if you know what I mean.

1568
01:18:02,366 --> 01:18:03,433
[Ross] Well, that's a--

1569
01:18:03,500 --> 01:18:06,099
[Cornette] That's the ugliest
Christmas tree I've ever seen.

1570
01:18:06,166 --> 01:18:08,533
[Ross] Now we don our gay apparel.

1571
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:12,733
[Cornette] That's even worse than
the chop down your own kind.

1572
01:18:20,766 --> 01:18:22,700
[Ross] Well folks,
the European Championship

1573
01:18:22,766 --> 01:18:23,900
is still to come here.

1574
01:18:23,966 --> 01:18:26,366
[Cornette] Michaels versus Helmsley
if you can believe that.

1575
01:18:26,433 --> 01:18:28,200
[Luna] And now,

1576
01:18:29,033 --> 01:18:35,533
the artist formerly known as Goldust,

1577
01:18:36,433 --> 01:18:41,700
wishes to express himself in verse.

1578
01:18:42,333 --> 01:18:43,966
[Ross] Ain't she a dandy little elf.

1579
01:18:44,500 --> 01:18:46,933
There he is
in his Elton John Christmas collection.

1580
01:18:52,366 --> 01:18:54,666
"'Twas the night before Christmas,

1581
01:18:54,733 --> 01:18:56,833
-when all through the house."
-[Cornette] Oh, boy.

1582
01:18:57,633 --> 01:19:01,966
"Not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse.

1583
01:19:03,633 --> 01:19:06,766
The stockings were hung
by the chimney with care,

1584
01:19:06,833 --> 01:19:10,333
in hopes that St. Nicholas
soon would be there."

1585
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:12,933
[Cornette] JR, he sure ain't no Burl Ives.

1586
01:19:13,900 --> 01:19:16,233
-[Ross] Well, thank goodness.
-[Cornette] Thank goodness.

1587
01:19:16,300 --> 01:19:17,599
[Ross] Santa's here.

1588
01:19:18,333 --> 01:19:20,433
-That's the real Santa, Corney.
-[Cornette chuckles]

1589
01:19:21,266 --> 01:19:24,200
"While visions of sugar-plums
danced in their heads."

1590
01:19:24,266 --> 01:19:26,566
[Ross] A little uneasy about
her hanging 'em balls on him.

1591
01:19:26,633 --> 01:19:27,933
"And mamma--"

1592
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:30,866
[Cornette] Don't worry about his balls.
I'm worried about Santa Claus.

1593
01:19:31,766 --> 01:19:34,400
I never thought I'd be happy
to see Santa Claus coming out

1594
01:19:34,466 --> 01:19:35,933
and throwing candy to the kids,

1595
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:38,500
but any interruption for this.

1596
01:19:38,566 --> 01:19:41,066
Hey, Santa! Don't you have a stocking
to stuff somewhere else?

1597
01:19:43,433 --> 01:19:49,533
The artist formerly known as Goldust
is expressing himself here.

1598
01:19:50,466 --> 01:19:53,066
[Ross] Well, just gargle some more Drano
and everything will be all right.

1599
01:19:53,133 --> 01:19:56,166
-Sant's ignoring these two, uh, folks.
-[Cornette] It's snowing.

1600
01:19:56,233 --> 01:19:59,166
I knew I shouldn't eat those brownies
that the fans brought in.

1601
01:19:59,233 --> 01:20:02,333
"…such a clatter. I sprang from my bed…"

1602
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:04,333
Will you get the hell out of here?

1603
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:06,833
-[commentators laughing]
-[Ross] He sounds like Nathan Lane.

1604
01:20:07,500 --> 01:20:10,366
[Goldust] I'm trying to do
something nice for all my fans

1605
01:20:10,433 --> 01:20:13,233
and you're sitting there
with your fat, old, jolly, stinky self.

1606
01:20:13,300 --> 01:20:14,266
Come on.

1607
01:20:16,766 --> 01:20:19,099
[Ross] Is he talking to Santa
or his nearest relative?

1608
01:20:19,166 --> 01:20:20,133
[Cornette] I don't know.

1609
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:22,666
"Away to the window I flew like a flash."

1610
01:20:22,766 --> 01:20:24,866
[Cornette] Just wondering
how I got in this business.

1611
01:20:24,933 --> 01:20:26,933
"Tore open the shutters
and threw up the sash."

1612
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:28,200
[Ross laughing]

1613
01:20:30,466 --> 01:20:33,099
"The moon on the breast
of the new-fallen snow…"

1614
01:20:33,166 --> 01:20:35,099
-[Ross] Oh! Hello, Santa!
-[Cornette] Oh.

1615
01:20:35,733 --> 01:20:37,766
Ho! Ho! Ho! Goldust.

1616
01:20:37,833 --> 01:20:39,633
[Cornette] He hit him
with the bag of goodies.

1617
01:20:40,533 --> 01:20:44,666
[Ross] The real Santa
is kicking Goldust's ass.

1618
01:20:44,733 --> 01:20:46,366
[crowd cheering]

1619
01:20:48,233 --> 01:20:52,666
[Ross] And Goldust's little helper,
she's getting out of here.

1620
01:20:53,133 --> 01:20:54,166
[Cornette] Wait a min--

1621
01:20:54,566 --> 01:20:56,666
-And Santa's taking his…
-[Ross] Oh, yeah.

1622
01:20:57,866 --> 01:21:01,133
[Cornette] He's falling over his,
uh, ornamentation there.

1623
01:21:01,200 --> 01:21:02,500
[Ross] Well, look who it is.

1624
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,433
-[Cornette] It's Vader.
-[Ross] It's Vader Claus.

1625
01:21:05,500 --> 01:21:08,400
[Cornette] I thought that it was
a jolly fat man in a red suit.

1626
01:21:08,466 --> 01:21:10,466
And it was, it was Vader.

1627
01:21:12,133 --> 01:21:15,500
[Ross] And Goldust and Luna want no part

1628
01:21:15,566 --> 01:21:18,066
of a man they will face

01:21:20,633 --> 01:21:22,599
["Mastodon " playing]

1631
01:21:22,666 --> 01:21:24,233
[Ross] It's Vader time!

1632
01:21:24,300 --> 01:21:26,200
It's Santa time!

1633
01:21:26,266 --> 01:21:27,900
[Cornette] It's Christmas time!

1634
01:21:30,099 --> 01:21:33,500
[Ross] Vader Claus has just made
a lasting impression

1635
01:21:34,300 --> 01:21:37,233
on, uh, the artist
formerly known as Goldust.

1636
01:21:37,300 --> 01:21:39,800
[Cornette] I can't believe
I'm saying these words but look--

1637
01:21:39,866 --> 01:21:44,166
Ooh! And again,
what impact with the bag of goodies.

1638
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:47,400
[Cornette] Wow.

1639
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:50,133
[Ross] And look at Luna.
She's out of there

1640
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:53,066
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'll tell you one thing.

1641
01:21:53,133 --> 01:21:55,333
-[Cornette] Oh!
-[Ross] Goldust will never forget

1642
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:56,933
the night that he met Santa.

1643
01:21:59,133 --> 01:22:00,599
[Cornette] That's a jolly man.

1644
01:22:00,666 --> 01:22:03,733
[Ross] Ladies and gentlemen,
finally, it is next.

1645
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:07,700
Shawn Michaels defends the European Title
against Hunter Hearst-Helmsley.

1646
01:22:09,166 --> 01:22:12,400
[Ross] 1-800-COLLECT
proudly presents the Royal Rumble.

1647
01:22:12,466 --> 01:22:16,866
It's live, Sunday, January 18th
from San Jose, California.

1648
01:22:17,333 --> 01:22:20,300
1-800-COLLECT. The easy way to save.

["Are You Ready" playing]

1650
01:22:21,633 --> 01:22:24,066
-[Ross] Are you ready?
-[Cornette] I've been ready.

1651
01:22:24,633 --> 01:22:28,099
And I'll tell you what, I am picking--
JR, you wanna know who I'm picking?

1652
01:22:28,166 --> 01:22:29,666
[Ross] What are you picking, big boy?

1653
01:22:29,733 --> 01:22:32,266
[Cornette] I'm picking Triple H
to win this match. Why?

1654
01:22:32,333 --> 01:22:33,900
-[Ross] Why?
-[Cole] Because Triple H

1655
01:22:33,966 --> 01:22:37,233
knows Shawn Michaels
better than anybody, and also,

1656
01:22:37,733 --> 01:22:41,633
Chyna is closer to Triple H,
if you know what I mean,

1657
01:22:41,700 --> 01:22:43,000
as far as I've observed.

1658
01:22:43,066 --> 01:22:45,833
I think that means Helmsley's gonna win.

1659
01:22:46,233 --> 01:22:48,833
[Ross] Well, here comes Chyna, again,
carrying Michaels gold.

1660
01:22:49,900 --> 01:22:54,000
Already tonight,
we have seen exposed buttocks.

1661
01:22:54,900 --> 01:22:59,166
We have seen The Godwinns
country whip The Headbangers.

1662
01:23:00,300 --> 01:23:04,866
We've seen "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,
stunner a bogus Santa Claus.

1663
01:23:05,966 --> 01:23:08,900
[Cornette] We've seen Goldust
dressed up like a Christmas tree.

1664
01:23:08,966 --> 01:23:13,866
We have seen Santa Claus, Santa Vader
hit Goldust with his bag of goodies.

1665
01:23:14,633 --> 01:23:16,400
We have seen a lot of stuff, JR.

1666
01:23:16,466 --> 01:23:18,333
-[Ross] And what about Kane?
-[Cornette] Kane…

1667
01:23:18,700 --> 01:23:21,033
And The Undertaker finally locked up

1668
01:23:21,099 --> 01:23:24,233
and Kane left The Undertaker
laying on the mat

1669
01:23:24,300 --> 01:23:26,233
because Undertaker wouldn't fight back.

1670
01:23:26,633 --> 01:23:30,233
This has been a-- Well, it ain't
your ordinary Christmas show.

1671
01:23:31,466 --> 01:23:33,366
It ain't your father's Christmas special.

1672
01:23:33,966 --> 01:23:38,233
[Ross] I'll tell you one thing,
I'll never forget the Rattlesnake himself.

1673
01:23:38,633 --> 01:23:41,566
A man that says
he has one thing on his mind

1674
01:23:41,633 --> 01:23:43,233
and that's to be the WWE Champion.

1675
01:23:43,633 --> 01:23:45,566
Putting a hurting
on that bogus Santa Claus

1676
01:23:45,633 --> 01:23:47,566
for disrespecting that young fan.

1677
01:23:48,300 --> 01:23:50,599
And when you talk about disrespect,

1678
01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:54,666
you have to focus on D-Generation X.

1679
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:59,000
[Cornette] Well, there's been some
problems between these two as well

1680
01:23:59,066 --> 01:24:01,599
because in the battle of the egos,

1681
01:24:01,666 --> 01:24:03,933
each one of them
got their feathers ruffled.

1682
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:05,933
[Ross] Michaels got his game face on.

1683
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:07,599
[Howard] …Shawn Michaels!

1684
01:24:07,666 --> 01:24:09,266
[Ross] We have a sold out crowd here.

1685
01:24:09,333 --> 01:24:11,933
We expect great crowds
this weekend in Milwaukee,

1686
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:14,266
the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago,

1687
01:24:14,666 --> 01:24:17,599
the Lister Centre
in western Massachusetts,

1688
01:24:17,666 --> 01:24:20,599
Hamilton, Ontario, Victor Cox Coliseum,

1689
01:24:20,900 --> 01:24:22,933
not to mention, next week we'll be live

1690
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:25,566
in the Nassau Coliseum
in Uniondale, Long Island.

1691
01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:29,433
and one week from tomorrow
in New Haven, Connecticut.

1692
01:24:30,766 --> 01:24:33,733
[Cornette] What a Christmas present
from Commissioner Slaughter.

1693
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:35,400
Michaels and Helmsley head up.

1694
01:24:36,066 --> 01:24:38,599
They've had some harsh words
to say to each other tonight.

1695
01:24:38,666 --> 01:24:41,733
I can't wait to see
when they finally lock up,

1696
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:43,800
when they finally
start tearing at each other.

1697
01:24:43,866 --> 01:24:46,033
What kind of action
are we gonna see out of this match?

1698
01:24:46,566 --> 01:24:49,833
[Ross] I've heard of Montezuma's revenge,
had that one time.

1699
01:24:49,900 --> 01:24:52,433
But anyway,
this must be Slaughter's revenge.

1700
01:24:52,500 --> 01:24:55,066
[Cornette] We may need to get
on a telephone to USA Network,

1701
01:24:55,133 --> 01:24:57,066
whoever the head honcho is around there

1702
01:24:57,133 --> 01:25:00,266
and tell 'em we need some more time,
this thing may go a long time.

1703
01:25:02,566 --> 01:25:04,900
[Ross] The European Title is on the line.

1704
01:25:05,333 --> 01:25:07,966
Shawn Michaels
defending the European Title

1705
01:25:08,033 --> 01:25:09,366
against his teammate.

1706
01:25:09,700 --> 01:25:14,033
Or maybe we should say more specifically,
after tonight's, uh, verbal barrage,

1707
01:25:14,099 --> 01:25:15,500
his former teammate

1708
01:25:15,566 --> 01:25:19,400
in D-Generation X, Triple H,
Hunter Hearst-Helmsley.

1709
01:25:19,466 --> 01:25:22,266
[Cornette] Two big egos
are about to collide head-on

1710
01:25:22,333 --> 01:25:23,433
in the middle of the ring.

1711
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:26,633
And D-Generation X
may be coming apart at the seams.

1712
01:25:26,700 --> 01:25:27,933
I love this.

1713
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:30,433
This is great. [laughs]

1714
01:25:31,033 --> 01:25:34,533
Hey, the director even says
they are making that phone call.

1715
01:25:36,733 --> 01:25:41,133
[Ross] No doubt about that Helmsley
knows Michaels, uh, very, very well.

1716
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:44,966
Probably better than anybody here
in the World Wrestling Entertainment.

1717
01:25:45,033 --> 01:25:48,300
There is a great deal
of mutual respect athletically,

1718
01:25:48,366 --> 01:25:51,933
between these two athletes,
who are, quite frankly, very, very gifted.

1719
01:25:52,500 --> 01:25:54,066
[Cornette] They're also cautious.

1720
01:25:54,133 --> 01:25:55,200
They know each other.

1721
01:25:55,266 --> 01:25:57,700
They know each other's moves
and each other's strategies.

1722
01:25:57,766 --> 01:26:01,700
[Ross] Interesting there,
Michaels getting some instructions,

1723
01:26:02,099 --> 01:26:04,566
encouragement, or what from Chyna.

1724
01:26:04,900 --> 01:26:08,866
[Cole] They're gonna be starting slow
because they don't want to make a mistake.

1725
01:26:11,133 --> 01:26:13,400
Oh, and there may be
a little psych out as well too,

1726
01:26:13,466 --> 01:26:16,233
because now Triple H doing the same thing.

1727
01:26:16,766 --> 01:26:18,900
One-upmanship is coming into play here.

1728
01:26:20,133 --> 01:26:22,200
[Ross] Remember,
the European Title on the line.

1729
01:26:23,266 --> 01:26:28,333
Shawn Michaels putting the European Title
on the line here.

1730
01:26:28,833 --> 01:26:31,933
As he will the WWE Title
at the Royal Rumble

1731
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:35,733
in that much-anticipated
Casket Match with The Undertaker.

1732
01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:37,200
Collar-and-elbow tie up.

1733
01:26:37,266 --> 01:26:39,266
[Cornette] Reluctantly,
on his part on both of 'em,

1734
01:26:39,333 --> 01:26:40,800
he didn't want to put the title up--

1735
01:26:40,866 --> 01:26:42,800
-[Ross] Wait a minute.
-[Cornette] What the--

1736
01:26:43,733 --> 01:26:46,266
[Ross] Why is Michaels just lying there?

1737
01:26:46,766 --> 01:26:49,966
[Cornette] Well, why does Helmsley
slow down and stop?

1738
01:26:50,033 --> 01:26:52,133
-[Ross] Oh, it's a mockery.
-[crowd booing]

1739
01:26:53,166 --> 01:26:56,300
[Ross] We thought that--
I got a… Yeah, here it is.

1740
01:26:57,700 --> 01:26:58,533
[bell rings]

1741
01:26:58,599 --> 01:27:03,566
[Cornette] It was a ruse, a ploy, a plot,
a plan, a charade, a conspiracy, a sham.

1742
01:27:03,633 --> 01:27:06,366
We've been conned, hoodwinked,
bamboozled, flimflammed,

1743
01:27:06,433 --> 01:27:08,766
had the wool pulled over our eyes even.

1744
01:27:08,833 --> 01:27:11,900
[Ross] Slaughter, apparently has been
watching this on the monitor,

1745
01:27:11,966 --> 01:27:15,733
we've just been informed,
and is on his way to the ring.

1746
01:27:17,666 --> 01:27:19,900
Helmsley with the European Title.

1747
01:27:20,966 --> 01:27:22,133
[Cornette] Look at--

1748
01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:24,666
[Ross] We thought it was
gonna be Slaughter's revenge.

1749
01:27:25,700 --> 01:27:27,300
[Cornette] Look at these two jackasses.

1750
01:27:27,366 --> 01:27:30,166
Michaels cries every time
he comes to this town.

1751
01:27:32,933 --> 01:27:34,466
[Ross] I can't believe this.

1752
01:27:34,533 --> 01:27:38,266
We thought we were gonna
see the destruction of D-Generation X.

1753
01:27:38,366 --> 01:27:39,666
Here comes Slaughter.

1754
01:27:39,733 --> 01:27:41,666
[Cornette] Helmsley looks like
he needs oxygen.

1755
01:27:43,766 --> 01:27:47,833
Slaughter, standing there
with egg on his face, eggnog or whatever.

1756
01:27:47,900 --> 01:27:49,566
[fake crying]

1757
01:27:50,766 --> 01:27:52,533
[Cornette] Well, he's good
at crying on cue.

1758
01:27:53,466 --> 01:27:55,800
[Ross] It's a Wonderful Life, isn't it?

1759
01:27:56,500 --> 01:27:59,233
[Cornette] Ask George Bailey,
not Shawn Michaels.

1760
01:28:01,500 --> 01:28:03,000
[fake sobbing continues]

1761
01:28:03,066 --> 01:28:05,333
[Shawn] You know, I… [fake crying]

1762
01:28:10,766 --> 01:28:12,933
-[Cornette] Well, say it already.
-[Ross] They did it.

1763
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:14,066
You gotta hand it to 'em.

1764
01:28:14,766 --> 01:28:16,700
They pulled the wool right over our eyes.

1765
01:28:16,766 --> 01:28:20,000
It's not easy being defeated
for the coveted European Title.

1766
01:28:20,066 --> 01:28:22,000
[Ross] They've done it again.

1767
01:28:24,166 --> 01:28:26,200
[Cornette] Is anybody
sick of seeing this sport

1768
01:28:26,266 --> 01:28:28,166
made a mockery out of by these guys?

1769
01:28:28,733 --> 01:28:32,233
I've been in Ladder Matches,
I've been in Cell Matches,

1770
01:28:32,866 --> 01:28:34,666
I've been in Marathon Matches,

1771
01:28:34,733 --> 01:28:36,500
but, oh, God… [fake crying]

1772
01:28:36,566 --> 01:28:37,400
[Ross] They got us.

1773
01:28:37,466 --> 01:28:42,266
…never has any match been so emotionally,

1774
01:28:42,666 --> 01:28:46,566
physically and mentally draining
as this one.

1775
01:28:48,300 --> 01:28:51,800
-You won. I love you, man.
-[Ross] He's lost his file.

1776
01:28:53,300 --> 01:28:55,733
[Cornette] What does Slaughter
got to be thinking about this?

1777
01:28:56,333 --> 01:28:57,733
[Ross] We've been duped.

1778
01:28:57,800 --> 01:28:59,400
Slaughter…

1779
01:29:00,266 --> 01:29:01,533
Slaughter made a…

1780
01:29:02,366 --> 01:29:03,599
Well, they got us all.

1781
01:29:03,666 --> 01:29:05,599
I'd just like to say one thing.

1782
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:09,066
That other than my kid being born…

1783
01:29:09,466 --> 01:29:11,433
Oh, I don't have one… that I know of.

1784
01:29:12,633 --> 01:29:15,400
-[Ross] Ugh.
-This is the greatest moment of my life.

1785
01:29:15,466 --> 01:29:18,566
Yo, Sarge! I did it!

1786
01:29:18,900 --> 01:29:21,066
I did it!

1787
01:29:21,333 --> 01:29:24,933
[Ross] Well, we all thought
Slaughter had everything planned.

1788
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:26,133
He was gonna…

1789
01:29:26,233 --> 01:29:28,633
I know you didn't need
any help from us, Sarge,

1790
01:29:28,700 --> 01:29:30,900
but we made an ass out of you anyway.

1791
01:29:30,966 --> 01:29:33,333
-[Ross] He did. You gotta admit it.
-Merry Christmas.

1792
01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:34,366
[Ross] They did it.

1793
01:29:34,433 --> 01:29:37,000
[laughs maniacally]

1794
01:29:37,066 --> 01:29:38,700
[Cornette] Merry Christmas, Slaughter.

1795
01:29:38,766 --> 01:29:41,466
Yeah, now Europe has a champion
that they can really be--

1796
01:29:41,533 --> 01:29:46,566
We'll see Helmsley. Next week you'll be
defending your title against Owen Hart.

1797
01:29:47,066 --> 01:29:48,966
-[Ross] Did you hear that?
-Merry Christmas.

1798
01:29:49,366 --> 01:29:51,500
[Ross] Slaughter just said
that next week, Helmsley,

1799
01:29:51,566 --> 01:29:54,900
will be defending the European Title
against Owen Hart.

1800
01:29:56,266 --> 01:29:57,700
[Cornette] Holy mackerel!

1801
01:29:59,099 --> 01:30:03,166
And Helmsley doesn't know it.
Helmsley, he couldn't hear Slaughter.

1802
01:30:04,066 --> 01:30:05,166
[Cornette laughs]

1803
01:30:05,233 --> 01:30:07,200
[Ross] Slaughter did get the last word.

1804
01:30:07,266 --> 01:30:09,266
It is gonna be a great Christmas.

1805
01:30:09,333 --> 01:30:12,200
It's gonna happen next week
in the Nassau Coliseum.

1806
01:30:13,166 --> 01:30:14,666
[Cornette] He who laughs last…
e Nassau Coliseum.
