[intro music playing]
[JR] The number one contender for the WWE Title.
[Foley] I am Dude Love.
[Stone Cold] At Over the Edge, Vince McMahon might've stacked the cards
against "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
by having a little timekeeper.
The esteemed Gerald Brisco.
[JR] Uh-oh.
A bell ringer…
Hall of Famer, Pat Patterson.
…and himself as a special referee.
[Kevin] I don't care if he's Stone Cold or who he is,
there's no way he can overcome these odds.
But I really don't give a rat's ass about all of that.
You wanna bring me out here tonight, put me in a Tag Match,
don't tell me who my opponents are, don't tell me who my partner is…
[JR] Obviously, it's gonna be, we think now, The Rock and D-Lo Brown.
[announcer] And now, Stone Cold's tag team partner,
here is Vince McMahon.
-[JR] What? -[Kevin] What?
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin is gonna have to win this match single-handedly.
And you know what, it looks like that's exactly what he's gonna do.
[JR] Austin, stunner.
That's it! That's it! That's it!
[Kevin] Austin's winning-- No!
-[JR] My God, McMahon just-- -[Kevin] No!
McMahon just clotheslined Austin!
And look at Patterson and Brisco! Damn them!
[Kevin] Can you believe what you're seeing?
-[JR] Oh, look out! -[crowd cheering]
[JR] Brisco's down!
Patterson's down.
Here comes Dude Love! Dude Love is hammering Austin!
[crowd cheering]
That's Dustin Rhodes.
That's DX!
My God!
Oh, my!

[crowd continues cheering]
[JR] Hello again, everybody, and welcome to the Nashville Arena.
All our rowdy friends are here,
and what a night it is going to be.
Music City is on fire with the WWE Attitude.
The World Wrestling Entertainment tag team titles,
on the line tonight.
The Outlaws meet The Nation's Rock and Owen Hart.
And look-- Well, look who's here.
[crowd booing]
I'm Jim Ross, alongside Michael Cole. We are at ringside.
And the owner of the WWE, Vince McMahon,
Mr. McMahon,
along with Gerald Brisco
and Hall of Famer, Pat Patterson, making their way to the ring.
No doubt they'll have something to say about Over the Edge
coming to the Milwaukee Arena
in 13 days.
What a pay-per-view that's gonna be.
Now, Dude Love, the number one contender, will meet "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[crowd continues booing]
[JR] Hello there, Vince, Mr. McMahon.
Along with the McMahon loyalists.
As a result…
of…
As a result of my devastating clothesline
delivered to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
last week here on Raw,
it is rumored that Mr. Austin
has suffered a mild concussion.
[crowd booing]
[JR] I have not heard that, as a matter of fact.
He looked pretty good in Birmingham, Alabama last night.
Now, there is no doubt Mr. Austin is a very spirited individual.
And given the opportunity,
might attempt to extract some degree of revenge or retribution
against myself or my associates here tonight.
[crowd chanting] Austin! Austin! Austin!
And if, of course, he did,
the damage done to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin last week
would be nothing
compared to the injury he would sustain at our hands
here tonight.
So therefore, I have taken the liberty…
Therefore, I've taken the liberty, ladies and gentlemen,
and this is only for Steve Austin's protection.
For his own protection,
I have taken the liberty to bar Steve Austin from this arena here tonight.
[crowd booing]
[Cole] For Stone Cold's protection?
[JR] Not a popular decision.
[Mr. McMahon] As a matter of fact, uh,
you might find, some of you,
might find this piece of videotape we have
a little humorous as Mr. Austin attempted
to make his way into the arena a few minutes ago.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] This happened just moments ago, ladies and gentlemen, we understand.
Sorry, sir. I've been given strict orders by Mr. McMahon.
I'm not to allow you into the building.
I'm sorry. I just-- No, I don't want it to be a confrontation.
I'm just doing my job, and Mr. McMahon's given me strict orders
not to let you in the building.
Vince McMahon told you that?
He sent one person to keep me out of the building?
Yes, sir.
You look to be about 5'10". Maybe 210, 215 pounds.
Do you realize I could have a field day with your sorry ass?
I'm sure you could, sir, but I don't want any confrontation.
I'm just following orders. I'm just doing my job.
Well, since you're-- Since I'm in such a good mood,
I'll tell you what, I'm gonna go in my truck,
I'm gonna have me a couple of Steve-Weiser,
and when I comeback in about five minutes,
we can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way.
And I think you know exactly what I'm talking about.
I know what you're saying, sir. I don't want a confrontation. I'm just--
You got five minutes to think about whether you're gonna let me in
or whether I'm about to beat your ass to get in,
but one way or another, I will get in that building.
-Do you understand me? -Yes, I understand.
If you understand me, then say, "Yes, sir, Mr. Austin."
-Yes, sir, Mr. Austin. -You're damn right.
And again, I repeat,
Austin, for his own protection has been barred from this arena.
Right now, however, I would like to introduce to you,
perhaps the next World Wrestling Entertainment Champion,
ladies and gentlemen, Dude Love.
["Dude Love" playing]
[JR] A portrait of corporate politics.
Mick Foley has sold out. There's no doubt about it.
[Cole] That's a nice tie.
[JR] And with Vince McMahon the referee,
Pat Patterson the ring announcer,
and Gerald Brisco the timekeeper,
Dude Love has a magnificent opportunity
on Sunday, May 31st to become the WWE Champion.
You got to know this is gonna be a huge night.
Val Venis, debuting tonight.
[Mr. McMahon] Dude Love!
[JR] Paul Bearer's gonna prove that he's Kane's father tonight.
Mr. McMahon,
it seems somewhat ironic
as the hours tick away
and May 31st draws closer,
that as Steve Austin's reign as champion comes to an end…
[crowd chanting] Austin! Austin! Austin!
…the Dude
only becomes stronger.
The dude's appearance becomes younger.
And as we all learned last week,
the Dude becomes more handsome
and well-educated every day.
[crowd booing]
Mr. McMahon, I believe May 31st
will be a night where dreams come true for all of us.
For you, Mr. Brisco,
because it will be your hand that rings the bell,
signifying the end of Steve Austin.
[crowd booing]
Dreams will come true for you also, Mr. Patterson,
because it will be your voice
as special guest ring announcer
that announces the name of Dude Love,
a name that will indeed be music to the ears
of any sports entertainment fan
who is sick and tired of Mr. Austin's vulgarities.
And then, Mr. McMahon,
it will become time for my dreams
to come true,
because it will be your hand
as special guest referee,
your hand, Mr. McMahon,
strong but sensitive,
that hits the mat for one, two, three,
thereby propelling the name Dude Love
into history
as not only a hardcore legend,
as not only the toughest SOB in the WWE,
but as the new
World Wrestling Entertainment Heavyweight Champion.
[crowd booing]
[Cole] Mr. McMahon is all smiles.
Right now, I'd like to…
to introduce someone, uh,
who stuck his nose in our business last week.
And I saw him just before I came out here.
We used to call him Goldust.
I don't know what he wants to be called now.
Dustin Runnels, I believe.
And, Mr. Runnels, if you wanna come on out here,
we have something to say to you.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Here comes Dustin Runnels.
He burned his Goldust attire last week, said goodbye to Goldust.
He blamed Mr. McMahon for a lot of his problems
including the Goldust characterization.
He's had a lot of turmoil, a lot of heartache in his life.
There's no doubt about that. We've documented that.
He's also recently had knee surgery as you can see
by the, uh, his knee being bandaged there, his right knee.
Unfortunately for Mr. Runnels, he sustained a little knee problem,
had a little knee surgery done the other day but I…
I'm sure he'll be fine.
And actually, it's probably what you get
for sticking your nose in somebody's business.
Last week, you blamed me for every problem you've ever had.
You blamed me for acne growing up.
Give me a break.
When are you gonna look in the mirror
and take control of your own life?
I mean, you blame me with all the problems with your dad,
your wife.
I can't help it if you have a dysfunctional family.
That's your problem, okay?
When it comes to competing in the WWE, I gave you opportunity!
I gave you Goldust.
You wanna discard it?
You wanna throw it away, because you wanna prove yourself?
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do,
I'll let you prove yourself right here tonight.
Here is a man who seizes opportunity.
And I've got another one for you.
I know you got your little knee problem and so forth.
However, if in fact, you can beat Dude Love,
the number one contender, in this ring tonight,
then you will be named the number one contender,
and it'll be you who faces "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
on May 31 for the WWE Title.
If you don't beat Dude, however,
then I'm not gonna pay you for 30 days,
but you'll still have to work.
[Cole] Wow.
-What about it? -[Cole] Work for free?
Yes or no?
[crowd chattering]
Oh, I definitely accept.
As a matter of fact, how about the sooner, the better?
[JR] Oh, man!
[Cole] Dustin just clocked Dude Love.
[JR] And look at… Look at Patterson and Brisco.
Patterson, Brisco, and Dude Love
are triple-teaming Dustin Runnels.
It's three-on-one.
[crowd yelling]
[Cole] Come on.
[crowd chanting] Goldust! Goldust! Goldust!
[Cole] And Dustin's back for more.
[JR] Well, there's not a lot of quit in this kid.
There's no doubt about it, but he's not gonna beat up three or four people.
So Dustin Runnels has a chance
to change the course of time, perhaps, in the WWE.
["Dude Love" playing]
but just as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin has found out,
power has its place.
And the deck is stacked against him as well.
Folks, don't forget,
when we come back here, we're gonna see the debut of Val Venis.
All right. Come on, here we are.
Let me help you.
Now listen, all I want you to do
is be inconspicuous.
Don't do anything to attract attention to yourself.
Matter of fact, just mingle, okay?
Stay behind me. Come on, just stay with me. Come on, here we go.
No, no, no, hey. This way, this way. Stay behind me.
This way, right here.
Hey, what are you doing? You're not bringing Steve Austin in here.
No, believe me, this is not Steve Austin.
As a matter of fact, this guy is here to take care of Steve Austin
or anybody else that messes with me, okay?
-Mind if I check him? -I don't care. Take a look for yourself.
Hold it, hold it, hold it now.
All right, are you satisfied?
-Come on. -All right, go ahead.
-Come on. -I don't see Steve Austin, go ahead.
How can I lose this guy? I cannot believe this.
Man, come on, give me a break.
Come on. Hey, I told you not to wander off.
Come on, give me that. Who are you talking to? Hel--
That's just heavy breathing.
That's The Ross Report. Come on.
Listen, we got things to do. You got to stay with me, okay?
Do you understand what I'm saying? Stick with me.
Do not wander off anymore. Come on.
[JR] Well, it's obvious that The King has procured some protection
from The Undertaker
after what happened right here last week at ringside.
And take it from me, folks, The King needs protection.
["Hello Ladies" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[announcer] And his opponent from Las Vegas, Nevada,
weighing in at 243 pounds,
Val Venis.
[Cole] And here he comes!
After weeks of teasing, Val Venis is finally here.
And now, it's time to put up or shut up in the ring.
It's Val Venis versus Scorpio here, the debut of Val Venis on Raw.
And this should be extremely interesting.
[JR] Well, the Val Venis feature presentations that we have, uh…
we have set for the last several weeks certainly have been provocative.
[Cole] Very much so.
[JR] Somewhat sensational, to say the least,
and arguably a very controversial character.
[yelling]
[JR] Well, take it easy, lady.
But the bottom line is what you can get done bell to bell.
Folks, while we have a moment,
don't forget, everybody in Atlantic City, New Jersey,
tickets go on sale this Saturday in Atlantic City
for a big live WWE extravaganza coming Saturday, July the 11th
in the Convention Center in Atlantic City.
If you're in the area, tickets go on sale this Saturday morning
in Atlantic City and all area Ticketmaster outlets.
[Cole] And Val Venis now gets set to start things off against Scorpio,
should be a competitive match-up.
And Val Venis will have his hands full tonight on Raw.
Lockup in the center of the ring.
Val Venis comes in 6'4", 275 pounds, from Las Vegas, Nevada.
Scorpio, of course, 6'1", 245, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
And Scorpio, now against the ropes,
and there's a big right hand and a forearm now by Scorpio into the side headlock.
[JR] I'm told that Stone Cold is still sitting in his truck.
-And, uh… -[Cole] Oh!
Remember, Stone Cold's been barred from the arena
for his own protection by Mr. McMahon.
[Cole] Stone Cold's protection?
Nice big clothesline that time by Scorpio.
Off the ropes now, big shoulder block by Val Venis.
Don't know too much about this kid.
He's been telling us for weeks and weeks how great he is,
and we're gonna get a chance to see it tonight.
[JR] He's certainly a well-conditioned athlete
since they have great agility
and athletic coordination.
But I'll tell you something, Scorpio has been absolutely fantastic
since aligning himself with the legendary Terry Funk.
Terry Funk has changed Scorpio's entire outlook here in the WWE.
[Cole] Scorpio, much more aggressive, much more confident in recent weeks.
And here's Scorpio now.
Oh, my, big kick-up underneath the chin.
And Scorpio with a stare-down with Val Venis.
Tell you what, folks, Val Venis claims to be the real deal.
He's gonna get a chance to prove it tonight,
but Scorpio, a tough test
for this youngster from Las Vegas.
Backed Scorpio into the corner now.
Val with a big elbow to the face and there's another one.
And a big forearm.
Folks, still to come tonight, the tag titles on the line,
the New Age Outlaws against The Rock and Owen. That should be a good one.
DX versus The Nation.
[yelling]
[Cole] Oh, my, what a clothesline by Val in the corner.
[JR] Val Venis with some heavy artillery coming at Scorpio.
[Cole] There's the first cover of the match-up.
There's two and a kick-out by Scorpio.
[JR] One thing about Scorpio, he can't hurt you
if he's in that horizontal position, I can tell you that.
[Cole] Scorpio loves to fly.
Whipped off the ropes now.
Oh, wow, what a slam by Val.
[JR] Not only do we have the tag team titles on the line tonight,
we got a tag team war between the LOD and the DOA,
a preview of Over the Edge right here tonight.
[Cole] What is this?
[women cheering]
[Cole] Oh, that's pleasant.
[JR] Well, the ladies, kind of liked it.
And now hammering away at Scorpio.
Big right hands by Val.
Tell you what, folks, also tonight, I'm interested to see
what's gonna happen here.
Kane and Paul Bearer.
Kane says he's gonna-- I should say Paul Bearer is gonna prove Kane's his son.
Oh, what a kick by Scorpio.
Scorpio again off the ropes.
Up top now.
Nice move, into a cover.
There's two. Val kicks out again.
[JR] Scorpio looked like he was going for some kind of sunset flip.
[Cole] Oh, wow! Up underneath the chin.
[JR] You can hear that one.
Right on the button of Val Venis.
And Scorpio should be making the cover right now.
[Cole] Can't understand why he isn't.
He's a veteran wrestler.
Giving Val Venis time to recover here.
Scorpio just gave Val Venis a reprieve there.
[Cole] Val, backed into the corner. Scorpio now with the right shoulder.
Irish whip across the ring. Here comes Scorpio, but he got caught.
What a shoulder block that time by Val Venis.
And, JR, we got to take a look now with the Castrol Double Feature.
[JR] Watch this kick.
Boom, right in the face.
And that was a great move,
but Scorpio, uncharacteristically, did not follow up.
[Cole] And a slam by Val Venis now.
Now to the second rope.
Here he comes but Scorpio caught him with a boot in the face.
Now Scorpio, trying to gain some momentum from this crowd.
Oh, big right hand.
Scorpio again, wiping the cockiness off the face of Val Venis.
Reversal now, Scorpio off the ropes.
Val misses with the right hand,
again with the kick up underneath the chin.
[JR] Half-hearted attempt with that clothesline by Val Venis.
He may be running out of steam here.
But Scorpio is right back up in his face.
And Scorpio now can turn it up offensively and put Val Venis away.
[Cole] Big elbow followed by the slam, and now Scorpio is gonna go to the ropes.
This is where he's most dangerous.
Scorpio to the top ropes now.
Val Venis in all kinds of trouble.
Could be a short-lived debut for Mr. Venis.
Wow!
Change direction in mid-air. Hook the leg.
-Almost got him. -[JR] I thought he had him.
I think-- Boy, I'll tell you what, that was a close one.
Referee Tim White looked like he hit three on that one to me.
[Cole] What athleticism by Scorpio, changed direction in midair.
And now Val Venis backs around him.
Scorpio with a big elbow and Val Venis now with one of his own.
And look at this. Oh, my!
Nice belly-to-back, into a pin now.
Scorpio kicks out again.
[JR] A version of a German suplex by Val Venis.
He hits the belly-to-back and then uses the bridge.
And now Scorpio finds himself in some big-time trouble.
[Cole] And now, Val Venis, gonna climb the ropes,
and Scorpio with a veteran move that time.
Val Venis took too much time and Scorpio capitalized.
Nice slam.
Val Venis ain't talking too much now
as Scorpio's taken control of this match-up.
Whipped into the corner again.
Scorpio follows up with a big right hand.
[Scorpio grunts]
[Cole] Scoop slam.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] And the crowd responds.
[JR] Maybe time for the 450 Splash or maybe a moonsault.
[Cole] Tell you what, here's Scorpio now.
Moonsault. Moved out of the way,
and Scorpio, face first into the mat.
[JR] Scorpio took a chance.
[Cole] Now, Val Venis climbs the ropes. Scorpio in a bit of trouble.
Val from the top ropes.
He calls it the Money Shot and he caught him!
Hooked the leg.
It's over!
Val Venis wins with the Money Shot in his Raw debut.
[announcer] Here is your winner, Val Venis!
["Hello Ladies" playing]
[Cole] Great reaction from this crowd here.
And now Val Venis, gonna pour some salt in the wounds
as he does a little dance.
[JR] I'll tell you one thing, this match could've certainly gone either way.
Scorpio with a big move right here…
-[Cole] Wow! -…changing direction in midair.
Hand it to Val Venis. He was able to kick out.
Scorpio makes one mistake
and Val Venis was quickly able to capitalize on it.
And the Money Shot got it done for a debuting successful Val Venis.
Val is strutting his way back to the lock-- Uh-oh.
[crowd cheering]
[indistinct conversation]
I'm just following orders, just doing my job. I can't let you in.
I don't care if you're following orders--
-Mr. Austin, please. -You don't touch me.
I told you, you don't go there and put your hands on me.
Do you understand?
-I understand, sir, but you can't get in. -I'm trying to be nice about this.
I understand. I appreciate that, sir, but I can't let you in.
Let me have a talk. You think for one second
that Vince really cares about you?
I'm sure he cares for all of his employees.
Well, what you've done if you made the decisions,
you wanna do this the hard way.
Do you realize that?
I under--
[JR] Uh-oh. Oh, my!
Austin has, uh… Austin has assaulted… He's assaulted the security.
I told you we can do this the easy way or the hard way,
and you couldn't let me in, you piece of trash.
-[JR] Uh-oh, Austin. -[Cole] Oh, no.
[JR] Austin has been barred.
Breaker one, now, we need medical assistance
out here on loading dock seven.
And tell Vince McMahon his ass belongs to Stone Cold.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Well, somebody better tell Mr. McMahon…
I told you, you little bastard.
[JR] …that Stone Cold is in the house.
What's gonna happen now?
[glass breaking]
["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Well, I'll tell you one thing,
that son of a gun is not supposed to be here.
The WWE Champion was barred by the owner of the World Wrestling Entertainment,
but to heck with that.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Yeah, he's here.
He's here in a big way.
Batten down the hatches.
He assaulted the security guard earlier and here he is,
the Toughest SOB. in the WWE.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Well, I'll tell you what, folks,
when you get a chance to see this man live, you don't wanna miss it.
It could be tomorrow night in Chattanooga,
Friday night in Omaha, Saturday night, what a spectacular in Toronto.
This could be most interesting.
[crowd cheering]
Hive me a hell yeah.
[crowd yells] Hell yeah!
Oh, you're damn right,
because Stone Cold, we're gonna crash a party any time I want to.
If there's…
[crowd cheering]
if there's gonna be a Monday Night Raw, you can damn well bet
your last little bottom-dollar that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
is gonna be there.
[crowd cheering]
Vince McMahon can pull all the little strings he wants,
and I'm starting to get just a little more pissed off about him
each and every day.
[crowd cheering]
-[JR] That's not good for Vince. -[Cole] No.
So what we're gonna do, we're gonna bring this crap to an end.
I want Vince McMahon, Pat Patterson, Jerry Brisco
to bring their little coward asses out here
and we're gonna settle this right now.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Oh, he didn't mince any words.
You got 30 seconds to bring your ass out here
or I'll tear up every little $50,000 camera you got.
You can't afford not to bring your ass out here.
I got my little second hand ticking right now, Vince.
You're damn right 'cause you know I ain't BS-ing.
[crowd booing]
Who the hell do you think you are?
This is my arena.
You're calling me and my associates out here,
you're breaking into my arena?
[Stone Cold] Oh, hell yeah.
Who do you think you are?
[crowd cheering]
I think I'm the person standing in here
looking at three jackasses dressed up in suits.
[crowd cheering]
[Stone Cold] You put your jacket back on, Patterson.
I'll come up there, and stomp a mud hole in your ass and walk it dry.
[crowd cheering]
What I want tonight out of you
is for all three of you to come down here
and so we're gonna settle this.
Hey, I don't wanna wrestle you.
I don't wanna arm wrestle you, I don't wanna do none of that trash.
I wanna fight all three of you.
So let's do it tonight and let's settle it all.
I want all of your asses and that's the only way I'll have it.
[crowd cheering]
[Stone Cold] Oh, bring it on.
[Cole] Uh-oh.
[crowd cheering]
-[Mr. McMahon] Oh, wait a minute. -Don't take a forward step, son.
You don't want none of me.
Obviously, I don't go to a Street Fight in clothes like these, all right?
[crowd booing]
I mean,
look at the quality of this tweed jacket.
Mr. Austin,
you want a Street Fight with the three of us here tonight?
Not only do I want a Street Fight,
if you want a Street Fight, give me a hell yeah.
[crowd yelling] Hell yeah!
[Mr. McMahon] Oh, what about it, Mr. Patterson,
do you wanna do this or not?
I wanna get in the ring with you, Austin.
You're an idiot.
And on top of that, Austin, two weeks ago when I refereed
and when I was refereeing, I listened to your commentary
and you said I suck.
Well, I don't suck.
[Stone Cold] I think you do.
How about you, Mr. Brisco?
Let me tell you something, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,
you're out here, you're running down my boss.
Let me tell you something, you don't call us stooges.
I have a tremendous amount of respect for Mr. McMahon
and anything he wants me to do, I'll do.
And if he'll allow me to come down there and kick your ass off,
-I'll do it right now. -No, no, no. No. No.
-In a minute. -Oh, let him go, let him go.
I'll tell you what, in an interest of fairness,
you get two out of the three.
I mean, it just wouldn't be fair if all three of us came down there
and put knots on your head, all right?
So we'll give you a little slack.
We'll give you two out of three.
We're just not gonna tell you which two.
That's fine with me. You say you don't wanna put some knots on my head,
I'm gonna put knots on all your asses
by the time this thing is all said and done.
[crowd cheering]
So we got a Street Fight coming up.
Let me tell you something,
you're looking at three musketeers here.
You're looking at all for one and one for all.
I think everybody here
would agree with me that you can all go screw yourselves.
[crowd cheering]
It don't matter which two.
Two out of three of you is gonna get your ass whipped
and that's the bottom line, 'cause Stone Cold said so.
[JR] Ladies and gentlemen, there you hear it, right here tonight,
we got a Street Fight.
Stone Cold is gonna fight either McMahon
-or Patterson-- Two of three. -[Cole] They're crazy.
They're crazy. There's no way they'd get in the ring with Stone Cold.
They're nuts!
[JR] It is going to be chaotic.
[woman] Undaunted.
He heads for the horizon
like some Spanish galleon's quest,
searching for the water's edge
where an unknown terror awaits.
The mysteries of this life unfold
when we embrace the edge
and then let go.
[Cole] We are live in beautiful downtown Nashville.
There is the historic Ryman Auditorium,
for years, the home of the Grand Ole Opry.
Much of this area, devastated a month ago by tornadoes,
but the city has banded together to rebuild.
And that's where we are tonight,
live at the Nashville Arena.
And tonight, WWE Raw is brought to you by 1-800-COLLECT,
the easy way to save.
[JR] And by Castrol GTX, the motor oil that provides maximum protection.
Castrol GTX, drive hard.
And by WWE: The Music, Volume 2.

Folks, the pressure is on.
[Lawler] In heaven's name, what are you doing now?
Makeup? Come on. Get-- Let me explain something to you.
Listen, this is not about you, it's about me.
You don't need makeup. Do you understand what I'm saying?
What you are here to do is protect me.
You take-- Hey, you take care of me and I'll take care of you, okay?
Ease up. I'll take care of you.
But come on, stay with… Stay with me.
Come on. Come on.
Right over here.
[JR] Well, The King has secured some protection from The Undertaker,
but you got to wonder at what price.
["Wild Cat" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, Sable!
[Cole] What a reaction for the lovely Sable.
This capacity crowd in the Nashville Arena, on its feet.
I tell you what, ladies and gentlemen, Sable has had a very controversial week.
You know, she's gonna be in Chattanooga tomorrow night,
not to mention Friday night in Ottawa,
this Saturday night in the SkyDome in Toronto.
And along with our great fans that join us each and every week
on the great TSN will be jamming the SkyDome on Saturday night,
not to mention the Maritimes on Sunday and Monday.
[Cole] I'll tell you what, JR, there's nothing like seeing Sable live.
[JR] Or the tape being bad.
[Cole] No.
[JR] "Marvelous" Marc, maybe.
Marc, could you come out here for a minute, please?
[JR] Obviously, Sable referring to Marc Mero.
-[Cole] "Marvelous" Marc Mero. -["Rough Rock" playing]
[crowd booing]
[JR] Well, certainly, none of us will forget, ladies and gentlemen,
what happened here last week.
Sable confronted "Marvelous" Marc Mero,
a low blow.
Well, that certainly stunned the Marvelous One as you can well imagine.
And then to everyone's shock, including Mero's, he was Sable Bombed.
Obviously, Mero unprepared for a Sable Bomb from this bombshell.
[Cole] Yeah. Weeks of public humiliation finally getting to Sable,
the confrontation last week.
Mero shocked by the low blow and then the Sable Bomb.
[JR] This may be the last time we ever see them together.
Who knows?
[crowd chanting] Sable! Sable! Sable!
[Cole] I'll tell you what, I wouldn't be disappointed.
You know, Marc, I've been thinking a lot about our relationship lately.
And I'm willing to let bygones be bygones.
And if you can be an adult about this, we can have an amicable split.
You can go your way and I'll go mine.
Wait a minute.
You're saying that you wanna leave "Marvelous" Marc Mero?
[Cole] That's what she said.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] That's the way I got it.
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.
[JR] I bet she wouldn't be lonely too long.
Well, Sable, you forgot one little detail.
Little over two years ago,
you signed a contract
with "Marvelous" Marc Mero.
And basically, what this contract says is you will do what I say.
Basically, I own you.
You still are my property.
[Cole] I didn't know anything about that.
[JR] Some call it The Emancipation Proclamation--
So what I want you to do,
like a good little girl,
is get to my corner now!
You know, Marc, I thought we could settle this like adults,
but if you're willing to stoop so low as to hold me hostage,
then according to that contract, I guess I don't have much choice, do I?
None whatsoever, because I'll sue you for everything you got,
all the money you made off of "Marvelous" Marc Mero.
Get in my corner now.
[Cole] I think Sable need a good attorney.
["Trash Metal" playing]
[bell ringing]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall
with a 20-minute time limit.
Making his way to the ring from Amarillo, Texas,
weighing in at 237 pounds,
Terry Funk.
[JR] Well, "Marvelous" Marc Mero has signed to meet the hardcore legend,
the 53-year-old Terry Funk.
And Mero may-- I don't think he has any idea
what it's gonna be like in hardcore hell
with this west Texas legend, this legend in our industry,
Terry Funk.
[Cole] Mero off the apron hammering away on Terry Funk, what a competitor.
We saw it just a couple of weeks ago
in that tremendous No Holds Barred Falls Count Anywhere Match-up
against Dude Love.
And then he returned last week in tag team action.
I mean, Terry Funk continues to come back from punishment.
-[JR] I'll tell you what… -[Cole] Oh!
…we don't, uh,
you just can't imagine
how much respect that Terry Funk has in the locker room.
Yes, he's 53 years of age.
And yes, if you think we're gonna start a seniors tour,
think whatever the heck you want.
This man is a-- In my mind,
is as special as anybody that has ever been in this business,
in or out of the ring.
And look at him reverse the Marvelous One.
And the tougher it gets,
the better Terry Funk likes it.
[Cole] And now, Terry Funk is in control.
"Marvelous" Marc Mero tossed into the ring.
Sable, of course, at the apron of the ring in "Marvelous" Marc Mero's corner tonight,
obviously, not on her own volition.
And look at this now, piledriver on Mero.
And Funk now, goes for the cover!
Two, and Mero gets the right shoulder up.
[JR] Mero got a shoulder up, which shocked me right there.
Talk about shocking,
we got a Street Fight coming up.
Stone Cold against two of the three-- Wait a minute.
[Cole] There's a cover again,
two, and somehow, Mero gets the shoulder up again.
[JR] Who's it gonna be? Vince McMahon, Pat Patterson, or Jerry Brisco?
[Cole] What does it matter?
[JR] What two of those three will be in the Street Fight
with Austin here tonight?
And what about the WWE tag title on the line tonight,
DX's Outlaws against The Nation's Rock and Owen Hart.
[Cole] Clothesline by Mero, another clothesline
and Terry Funk in trouble.
Mero off the ropes again, and a third one.
[JR] Mero, obviously, the quicker of the two.
Mero was 15 years old when Terry Funk won the NWA Title.
[Cole] And there's Sable outside the ring.
You know, folks, she doesn't wanna be out there,
but she has to, at least according to that contract Mero had with her.
And here's Mero now with stiff forearms to Terry Funk,
and Funk trying to battle back.
[JR] Well, the stiffer, the better for Funk.
We saw a No Holds Barred Falls Count Anywhere Match
with his former best friend, Mick Foley,
a few weeks ago.
What a 53-year-old will do when you love this business,
when you love to compete.
And there's a difference in senior citizens in this game.
[Cole] And Sable outside the ring, as Funk is whipped across
with the Irish whip and followed up by a big clothesline by Marc Mero.
You know, JR, it tore Terry Funk apart
to see his longtime friend, Mick Foley,
become a model employee for Mr. McMahon.
[JR] Well, it shocked and tore a lot of people up
as far as the emotion was concerned
that Mick Foley from Long Island would sell out.
And to the left side.
[Cole] What a clothesline again by Terry Funk.
You've known Mr. Brisco, you've known Mr. Patterson
for such a long time, JR.
I mean, what do you make it?
Why are they getting in the ring tonight?
[JR] Your guess is as good as mine.
[Cole] Mr. McMahon, why is he gonna maybe get in the ring tonight?
[JR] Well, I'll tell you what, you ask questions like that
to the boss, then I would suggest you get your résumé updated.
-Uh-oh. -[Cole] Oh, man.
[JR] Referee Jack Doan.
[Terry Funk straining]
-[Cole] Oh! -[JR] What a suplex there by Terry Funk.
Referee got an inadvertent shot there.
And not a kinder, gentler Terry Funk, and a low blow.
[Cole] A low blow by Mero as Terry Funk was helping the referee up.
Here's the cover now by Mero.
And Terry Funk gets the shoulder up.
And there's Sable, screaming on the apron of the ring.
[JR] Well, Sable's telling the referee what "Marvelous" Marc did
-to gain the advantage. -[Cole] Uh-oh.
[JR] "Marvelous" Marc has got Terry Funk up.
[Cole] The TKO and he hooked, he got it.
Into the cover now.
[JR] But Sable has the referee distracted.
Referee's not there to make a count.
[indistinct shouting]
[Cole] And Terry Funk's recovered.
-Oh, and he did it. -[JR] DDT!
[Cole] A cover now!
Hooks the leg.
-It's over! Terry Funk wins! -[bell ringing]
Terry Funk wins!
I guess you could give the assist to Sable!
["Trash Metal" playing]
[JR] Sable, just like we'll do in Milwaukee,
in 13 days
at the Milwaukee Arena has just gone
"over the edge" with the Marvelous One.
He may not want her to be in his corner any longer.
Sable's got a bit of a grin on her face.
"Marvelous" Marc Mero loses to Terry Funk,
and now Sable's giving him a piece of her mind.
[JR] Mero thought he had things going and-- Uh-oh.
[indistinct conversation]
[JR] That's the security guard
and some of, apparently, Nashville's finest.
They are looking for the WWE Champion.
About five minutes ago, I've seen him down that way,
but I haven't seen him since.
[JR] Stone Cold is in trouble.
[narrator] And now, the 1-800-COLLECT Rewind.
1-800-COLLECT, the collect call that saves.
Wait a minute, Taker, I didn't say that stuff.
That was… That was… That was Paul Bearer.
He's the one who said your mother was sleeping around. Not me.
[JR] Here it comes, a Chokeslam.
God! The King is drilled!
The Undertaker has Lawler up!
And a Tombstone! Tombstone!
[narrator] That was the 1-800-COLLECT Rewind.
1-800-COLLECT, the COLLECT call that saves.
[JR] Well, folks, we are live
and the police are still looking for Stone Cold.
If you drink another soft drink, you're gonna go to the bathroom again.
Hold it, guys. Wait a minute. That's not Steve Austin.
I already told Barney Fife out there that's not him.
Come on.
That is not Steve Austin.
-Are you satisfied? -It's not him.
See, now, look what you've done. You've got the cops after us.
["What A Rush" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[bell ringing]
[announcer] The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall
with a 20-minute time limit.
Making their way to the ring from Chicago, Illinois,
at a combined weight of 564 pounds,
Animal and Hawk, LOD 2000.
[Cole] Well, the LOD 2000 set for action against the DOA this week.
The animosity between these two teams has grown in just a short time.
Three weeks ago on Raw, it was the DOA versus the New Age Outlaws
in a non-title match-up.
Now, Skull was the legal man in the ring,
but unbeknownst to everyone including Billy Gunn,
8-Ball pulled the old switch-a-roo.
8-Ball replacing Skull, rolling over Billy,
and picking up the victory.
[JR] Well, that victory earned the DOA a tag title match-up
for next week, but The Legion of Doom had another idea.
We like to know if you guys got the guts
to turn this four-way dance into an eight-man.
[Cole] So later that night, it was DX against DOA and LOD,
but the two teams, DOA and LOD, turned against each other.
The members of LOD and DOA battling outside the ring.
[JR] They fought back in the locker room area as well.
A lot of bad blood is brewing between the LOD and the DOA.
[Cole] And last week, it was Skull against Hawk,
but again, 8-Ball pulling the old switch-a-roo.
And I don't know, JR, we use this word often,
but this will truly be a tag team war.
The DOA and the LOD, similar style, aggressive in-your-face type of wrestling.
This is gonna be a good one.
[JR] We're talking about a big end of the month,
May 31st in Milwaukee Arena,
June 1st, LOD back in Chicago at the Rosemont Horizon,
more specifically for Raw.
And then of course in Rockford, Illinois on Tuesday, June 2.
Tickets are going fast for all those events
and this is a preview, perhaps, of Over the Edge.
[Cole] And it's Hawk against Skull now, whips him into the corner,
follows it up with a big clothesline.
Both of these teams believe they are the number-one contenders
for the WWE tag team titles.
Now, the titles are on the line later tonight,
The Outlaws against The Rock and Owen of The Nation.
Here's Skull now.
Wow, what a move.
Sidewalk slam into a cover, hooks the leg, only two, Hawk kicks out.
[JR] You can certainly tell that the LOD knows
this is gonna be a nasty fight,
they did not bring Sunny along with them here at ringside.
And this one could get ugly, it could get very, very physical in a hurry.
It won't be scientific and it's not gonna be textbook.
It's gonna be more of a street fight environment.
And of course, we got a Street Fight coming up a little bit later.
Stone Cold against, maybe, Vince McMahon, Pat Patterson, or Jerry Brisco.
We're not sure.
[Cole] And here's Chainz now, draws Animal into the ring.
And now, he works on Hawk, backs him into the ropes now.
Hawk off the ropes. Oh, he telegraphed it,
Hawk caught him with a big right hand.
And, oh, my, face first into the mat.
[JR] A lot of locker room scuttle
about whether or not LOD can still cut the mustard
with a physical entity like the DOA.
[Cole] Oh, what a kick that time by Hawk.
[JR] Hawk with an enzuigiri on-- In the mid-back area on Chainz.
The DOA got little youth on the LOD,
but the former team, the team known formerly as the Road Warriors…
Nice move there by Animal.
…still has that bonded reputation,
and with that, brings them a lot of respect.
[Cole] Here's Animal now, whipped Chainz into the ropes.
Oh, what a big powerslam by Animal.
Follows it up with the elbow to the sternum.
The LOD, here's the cover now, hooks the leg, but a save by Skull.
And now, all four men in the ring.
Outside the ring now goes Hawk and Chainz.
In the ring, it's Skull and Animal.
Animal setting him up now. The referee distracted.
Look at this. Oh, powerbomb!
[JR] A lot of power by Animal, tremendous move, just overpowering Skull.
And here he goes with the count.
[Cole] Hooks the leg, only one.
And Hawk and Chainz still battling it out outside the ring.
[JR] I think it was tactical error right there by Animal.
[Cole] Look at this now. Hawk off the second rope,
across the sternum, into a cover now.
-Only two. -[JR] They seem to be disoriented,
the LOD.
Both men trying to make the cover there.
Who's legal, who's not?
It's got to be Skull and it's got to Animal.
[Cole] And Animal and Skull outside the ring.
[JR] And look out!
There's 8-Ball. 8-Ball is in the ring.
8-Ball's got Animal rolled up.
[Cole] The switch-a-roo again by DOA!
-Here's the cover. It's over! -[bell ringing]
DOA again, outsmarts the LOD.
[announcer] …Disciples of Apocalypse!
[Cole] We saw it plain and simple.
We saw it clear.
Will they do it at Over the Edge?
DOA has outsmarted, has outmaneuvered the LOD 2000.
[JR] And you talk about giving this duo, Hawk and Animal,
some added motivation for WWE Over the Edge on pay-per-view
in 13 days, this is darn sure gonna do it.
[Cole] Animal and Hawk upset.
-[interviewer] Gentlemen-- -Hey, we want a six-man next week!
We want it right next week!
We're gonna kick their butts.
And DOA's got to worry about who our partner's gonna be.
[Cole] A six-man?
[JR] Man, what they're referring-- They don't have a partner, do they?
Well, there you see The King.
The King and his bodyguard, that's the best way I can put it.
You take care of me and I'll take care of you.
[JR] King in someway-- Who is under that blanket?
Who is The King's bodyguard?
We'll find out when we come back.
And we're back on Raw, ladies and gentlemen.
Well, earlier today, Paul Bearer and Kane went to a medical facility
just outside Nashville.
As you know, Paul Bearer has promised that tonight,
he will prove without a shadow of a doubt
that he is indeed the father of Kane.
Apparently, Paul Bearer will use complicated DNA testing
to prove that he is indeed Kane's father.
We hope to have that answer tonight on the War Zone.

[JR] Hello again, everybody, and welcome to the War Zone.
We are in Nashville, Tennessee.
The arena is sold out here in Nashville.
And Music City has been turned up
with the World Wrestling Entertainment Attitude.
And, yes, it's The King.
And who in the heck is under that blanket?
We know that The King has procured someone
-to provide security for him. -[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
Jerry "The King" Lawler.
[JR] I guess The King, very popular to a lot of folks in these here parts,
came from down the road in Memphis, as many of you know,
and has competed here in Nashville for a couple of decades off and on.
After what happened here at ringside last week
when The Undertaker got his giant hands on Lawler
and ended up giving him a Tombstone Piledriver,
The King has come back with some protection.
A grown man wearing a crown and a red jacket
with another guy under a blanket.
That's another night in the office, folks.
Can you hear me, JR?
I can, King.
So that means the whole world can hear me right now, huh?
-Yeah, that's right, King. -Well, let me tell you something,
I am getting sick and tired and I've had enough to hear
when I come out here and try to do my job
as a commentator, and getting jumped on from behind,
shoved around by people like "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,
and then last week, The Undertaker,
and I'm not gonna have it anymore. Do you understand that?
-I understand. -So I brought somebody here
to make sure that that doesn't happen anymore.
And I'm gonna unveil it to the world right now,
and I wanna invite anybody like The Undertaker, anybody else,
come on out and mess with The King now.
Here he is, baby, right here.
Take a look at it. There you go.
[crowd cheering]
There you go.
[JR] It's Al Snow, ladies and gentlemen.
-[Lawler laughing] -[crowd chanting] Head! Head!
Al Snow is back from his-- He's back from the ECW I guess.
You take care of me and I'll take care of you.
I know it was hot under the blanket.
-I will get you-- -It wasn't my idea.
I will get you that meeting with Vince McMahon that you--
[Al Snow] I wanna see him now. I wanna see him now.
Not right now.
Wrong answer. Well, we spoke about it, tell him what we want.
[imitates female voice] I want a trip back to the back to meet Vince!
-No, not right now, Al. -Now!
-I'll get Vince for you later. -No.
Not when you're uptight.
[JR] What have you done, King?
Hang on. I promised him a meeting with Vince McMahon
-and I'll get him one. -I'm trying!
-I'm trying not to get kicked off-- -Hey, hang on a second. Hang on a second.
Hang on.
-This ain't gonna work. -What?
I'll tell you what I want you to do right now.
-Come with me. -I'll tell you what I wanna do,
I wanna see Vince.
Well, now they're leaving.
That may be the best news I've had all day.
["Dude Love" playing]
[JR] Well, apparently as King gets Al Snow and the head a seat here at ringside--
[announcer] And his opponent making his way to the ring
from Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, weighing in at 287 pounds,
Dude Love!
[JR] Dude Love, the number-one contender for the WWE title.
And Dustin Runnels burned his Goldust attire last week.
And Dustin Runnels has an ultimatum.
He beats Dude Love, he becomes the number-one contender,
and will get Austin in Milwaukee on May 31st.
But if Dustin Runnels does not beat Dude Love here tonight,
then Dustin Runnels has got to wrestle for 30 days without pay.
And, King, you know how that is.
[Lawler] How would I know to wrestle without pay?
When I wrestle, I get paid top dollar.
But Dustin Runnels, you know what,
I guess he'd be wrestling for what he's worth.
[JR] What's Brisco and Patterson doing out here?
Pat Patterson, yes, he's a Hall of Famer.
You got to say that every time we talk about Patterson.
"He's a Hall of Famer, JR." "He's a Hall of Famer, JR."
[Lawler] Well, why not?
You say "53-year-old Terry Funk" every time you utter his word.
[JR] Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson.
Is it collusion?
I think so.
Is it a conspiracy?
I reckon it is.
[Lawler] Hey, what are you doing now,
talking to yourself and answering yourself?
-[JR] I might as well. -[Lawler] What do you think I'm here for?
If you ask a question, give me a chance to answer it.
You think it's collusion?
-[JR] Exactly. -[Lawler] Oh, right.
So why don't you go to Mr. Vince McMahon and-- Whoa!
You go and ask him if it's collusion. He'll tell you.
-[JR] I can't afford to do that. -[Lawler] He is the most honest,
straightforward man I have ever worked for.
-Look at this. -[JR] More honest than Jerry Jarrett?
[Lawler] How dare you?
[JR] Dustin Runnels, formerly known as Goldust, the son of The American Dream,
out here certainly has had his so many emotional problems,
as we have documented.
And just a little over a week ago, he had orthopedic knee surgery
-down in Atlanta. -[Lawler] Oh!
So he is very limited and quite frankly, has not been cleared
by the doctor to even compete here tonight.
[Lawler] And look at this.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Stone Cold, somewhere back in the…
back in the-- Our cameras found him.
[Lawler] Does he not know people are looking for him? Look out!
[JR] I don't think he cares.
I'll tell you what, a valiant effort
-by Dustin here… -[Lawler] Look out!
[JR] …on one knee basically,
against a very, very dangerous human being in Dude Love.
-And there's the Mandible Claw. -[Lawler laughing] He's got him.
[JR] Mankind's Mandible Claw after the distraction from Brisco.
-[bell ringing] -[Lawler] There's the bell!
[JR] And Dude Love has a victory here.
[announcer] Here is your winner, Dude Love!
[Lawler] And Dustin Runnels is gonna be a thing.
What do you think he's gonna have to buy his groceries with, some food stamps, huh?
For the next 30 days, he'll have no income whatsoever.
-None. -[Lawler laughing]
[JR] He'll be paying his own expenses.
He'll be wrestling for nothing.
Look at that VKM. My gosh.
-[Lawler] That looks great. -[JR] Why don't you get one?
[Lawler] That'd look good on your arm, JR.
[JR] Vincent Kennedy McMahon, ladies and gentlemen.
["Dude Love" playing]
[JR] I got another place for a tattoo. I won't go there either.
Well, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's back in the locker room,
there you see him.
Just saw his adversary for Over the Edge on May 31st.
Someone should tell Stone Cold that the cops are looking for him.
[Lawler] Right. Oh, yes!
The place's prohibited. You're under arrest.
You have the right to remain silent.
-Anything you say can be used… -For what?
-against you in the court of law. -Put your coffee down.
-You have the right to have an attorney. -[Lawler laughs]
If you can't afford one…
Okay. Just take it easy, will you?
I told you, I wanna bar you for your own protection, but no.
You got to be "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
That's what you got to be. You got beat people up, yeah.
That's what you do. Yeah. And you know what,
I'm glad you're gonna take your ass away, okay?
My only regret is we don't have the opportunity to kick your butt
in a Street Fight tonight.
That's the only regret I have. Take him the hell out of here!
One of these days, they're gonna let me out. When they do…
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. See, see. That's it. Uh-huh.
-Yeah. They're gonna charge you again too. -That's right, Mr. McMahon.
They got to lock me up and throw away the damn key.
-[Patterson] Get him out of here. -Come here.
[JR] Man.
Ladies and gentlemen, Castrol GTX presents Over the Edge: In Your House.
It's live in just 13 days on pay-per-view
from the Milwaukee Arena in beautiful Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Castrol GTX, drive hard.
[JR] I can't believe Austin's going to jail.
[Lawler laughs] Do you think he'll be out of jail, out of the slammer?
[JR] I don't-- That's just not right.
[Lawler] You know what, that maybe one of the greatest things I've ever seen.
He deserves it. You know he does.
[announcer] … with a 20-minute time limit.
Making their way to the ring at a--
[Lawler] Hey, look at this.
[JR] Kaientai, attacking all three members.
And there's Yamaguchi-san.
All three members of Kaientai attacking The Headbangers.
We've got a tag team match-up scheduled here,
Dick Togo and Teioh against Mosh and Thrasher.
[Lawler] Well, it looks like Mosh and Thrasher
are getting a little more than they've bargained for.
They love that headbanger music.
They're getting their heads banged right now.
[bell ringing]
[JR] Well, we got both Togo and Teioh in the ring.
[Lawler] Oh!
Whoa.
[JR] The gentleman of Kaientai with this very short hair is Dick Togo.
Leapfrog by Togo on Mosh…
They both had the same thing in mind.
And look at, oh, the bigger Mosh
at that point with power.
That kid is kicked off.
-Jerry, hey! -[Lawler] What? What?
Come here. I wanna see Vince. He was up there!
[Lawler] Okay. Okay.
Sit down.
[JR] What makes you think you can get his--
[Lawler] Watch my back! That's what you're here for.
[JR] What makes you think you can get him in to see Vince?
[Lawler] What are you talking about?
Vince McMahon and I are tight. Two peas in a pod.
Two birds in a mule's tail.
I can get him a meeting with Vince McMahon.
Don't worry about it. Mr. McMahon.
[JR] Tag made now.
Togo tagging in Mens Teioh.
[Lawler] Oh!
Teioh, he mentioned last week, his idol growing up was Terry Funk.
As a matter of fact, when he first--
early in his career, he was known as Terry Boy.
[Lawler] Only you would know that information. Ah!
[JR] Tandem offense by the former WWE Tag Team Champions.
And there is a cover.
And Dick Togo in.
Kaientai certainly are gonna make an impact
in the Light Heavyweight Division here in the WWE.
-And look at the double teaming here. -[Lawler] Let go, come on.
[JR] Headbangers…
having Teioh in a very precarious position to say the least here.
And certainly, it has been well-documented
the apparent long-time rivalry
between WWE Light Heavyweight Champion, Taka Michinoku,
and Kaientai led by… Oh, look at that low bridge. Led by Yamaguchi-san.
[Lawler] Take a look at this now.
The Headbangers, they come out here, they bang their heads.
They try to make all of these fans love that weird music of theirs.
Well, now, they're getting the taste-- Oh, yes!
[JR] Double teaming there.
Yamaguchi-san, a very influential Japanese businessman
and certainly, one that has made his mark in Japanese wrestling
over the years.
And look, Mosh around to help his partner, Thrasher.
[Lawler] Watch it.
[JR] Kaientai is better when they're out of their weight class,
when they hit and run,
when they can use their quickness.
And right now,
that's what they're attempting to do here,
but again you see Thrasher, huge size advantage
over a pure light heavyweight.
[Lawler] Well, look at this though.
Oh, man, what a move.
[JR] Low blow there by Teioh.
[Lawler] And speaking of hit and run, JR…
-Yes. -What about last week
when The Undertaker comes out and hits me, you ran off.
You didn't even lift one finger to help me.
[JR] You're right. And guess what, if he does it again,
I'm running even farther.
[Lawler] Oh, man. Like a rat deserting the Titanic
-is what you look like. -[JR] Yeah.
[JR] Well, you ain't no Leonardo DiCaprio yourself, pal.
[Lawler] You know good and well that if somebody came out here
and tried to put a finger on you, I'd--
-well, I'd probably help you. -[JR] Oh, what a great move.
Tremendous cannonball maneuver, just walking the ropes,
springboarding off there was Togo.
And Mens Teioh, back in.
Teioh started wrestling in 1992.
[Lawler] Oh, man!
[JR] Hasn't been around that long.
Springboard right into the clubbing blow right in the back of the head.
It isn't bad, but hey,
I know, but if you keep it up, we're gonna get kicked out again.
And you're the one that lost the tickets.
[JR] Poor old Al just-- He's just… He's just sick.
[Lawler] I got to get both of them a meeting with Mr. McMahon.
[JR] Yeah. He'll appreciate that.
There's a lateral press there. Togo, going for the cover.
[Lawler] I think I'll take a video camera and tape that meeting.
-It's gonna be some good TV, wouldn't it? -[JR] Yeah.
[Lawler] Look at those guys.
[JR] They strike there very quick, obviously, are Kaientai.
One, two…
[Lawler] They're getting ready to finish these Headbangers off.
They'll probably be at their big debut of the Godzilla movie…
-[Lawler] You think? -[JR] That's the night in the Garden,
-you know? -[Lawler] They probably won't be there.
[JR] I don't reckon so.
Togo, former UWF Super Welterweight Champion in Japan.
Also British Commonwealth Junior Heavyweight Champion.
Uh-oh.
[Lawler] It's not looking good.
[JR] Not looking good at all for Thrasher.
These guys are like trying to pour smoke through a keyhole.
[Lawler] Wait a minute.
[JR] Nothing but upper body strength and look at the very resourceful Teioh.
It looked as if Thrasher was going to gain an advantage.
And just that quick, the quickness of Teioh comes to the front.
[cheering and applause]
[Lawler] Why does Al Snow keep talking to that head?
[JR] Last week, when Bradshaw, the big Texan, took Taka for a driving lesson--
[Lawler] Look at this. Oh, man.
That'll drive your nose right into the ring apron.
[JR] Well, that's Sho Funaki and he's not in this match.
He's a member of Kaientai.
This is supposed to be a two-on-two matchup and Yamaguchi-san
is distracting referee Tim White.
And here comes Bradshaw.
[Lawler] Look out!
[JR] Bradshaw and Taka--
-[Lawler] Get outta there! Run away! -[bell ringing]
[JR] Bradshaw with a lariat.
And Kaientai,
well, they're heading,
they're heading south. East or West, they're leaving here.
[indistinct shouting]
[Lawler] Well, see, when you get jumped up from behind,
there's not a whole lot you can do about it.
[JR] What else is going to happen here tonight?
There's Steve Austin.
[indistinct chatter]
He's obviously in a squad car I assume.
I assume that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is on his way to jail.
[Lawler] I would hope so.
[JR] What does that do to our Street Fight?
[narrator] And now the Castrol GTX Slam of the Week,
brought to you by the motor oil that provides maximum protection.
Castrol GTX. Drive hard.
[Cole] Vader is a magnificent big man
looking for the Vader Bomb, and he got it!
Four hundred pounds!
Oh, just drilled Windham…
Vader, victorious, he is back!
[narrator] That was the Castrol GTX Slam of the Week,
brought to you by the motor oil that provides maximum protection.
Castrol GTX. Drive hard.
[JR] And we're back on the War Zone, ladies and gentlemen.
As we said earlier today, Paul Bearer and Kane
went to a medical facility near Nashville to undergo, King,
what we understand is a complicated DNA testing…
-[Lawler] And expensive. -…to prove once and for all,
without a shadow of a doubt, that Paul Bearer is indeed Kane's father.
[Lawler] Well, I want to tell you this.
If Paul Bearer says he is, that's proof enough for me.
-But look at this. -[med tech] All right. We're all done.
[Lawler] Drawing the blood.
And look at how brave Paul is.
-[Bearer] I don't wanna look. -[Lawler] Is the needle in yet?
-[Bearer] It does hurt! It does hurt! -[JR] Oh, please.
[Lawler] That's gotta hurt.
[JR] What a baby.
Thank you, sir.
Now we're gonna show the world that I'm Kane's daddy. [laughs]
Let's go, son.
[Lawler] You heard it. He called him "son".
-[JR] Hideous. -[Lawler] That's proof right there.

[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for
one fall and it is for the WWE Tag Team Championship.
Introducing first, being accompanied by D-Generation X,
at a combined weight of 525 pounds,
they are the WWE Tag Team Champions,
the "Road Dogg" Jesse James,
and "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn, The New Age Outlaws!
[JR] WWE tag team titles on the line here momentarily.
The Outlaws of DX take on The Nation's Rock and Owen Hart.
[Lawler] It don't get no bigger than that, JR.
[JR] DX and The Nation, they've had quite the rivalry.
We thought it would culminate at Over the Edge but--
Nashville, Tennessee, D-Generation X's in the hizouse,
so make some noise!
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler exclaims]
You know…
I know there's a lot of wrestlers, WWE Superstars, I should say,
sitting back, looking on the monitor right now.
Well, I got something to say to all of ya.
[crowd cheers]
No, it ain't time for that yet.
[Lawler] Ah…
I just wanted to say,
I got game, she got game, they got game.
We got game.
-DX got game! -[crowd cheering]
[JR] Get it, King? Spike Lee.
[Lawler] Oh!
-Nashville… -[crowd cheering]
Wait for it. Wait for it.
Are you ready?
[crowd cheering]
I said, are you ready?
[loud cheering]
Then…
For the thousands in attendance and for the millions
watching at home on national television,
let's get ready to suck it!
-[JR] His mama must be very proud. -[Lawler laughs]
[Lawler] Come on, JR, loosen up.
[JR] All right.
I don't know if you you know it or not.
But I'm a hell of a drummer.
-Yeah, I can bang the skin. -[Lawler laughs]
So, ladies, if you're not too enthralled
with the show, take a swing in the back.
I'll let you twirl my stick
while I beat on the tom-toms.
[Lawler laughing] Let me ask you something, JR.
Do you think these guys are worried about this match tonight?
You know they're gonna retain the title.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages,
D-Generation X proudly brings to you
its World Wrestling Entertainment Tag Team Champions of the world…
the "Road Dogg" Jesse James,
the "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn, the New Age Outlaws!
[crowd cheering]
A little conversation for that Nation.
Rock and Cannibal Lecter,
you flesh-eating freak.
If you think that we're gonna let you stroll or pimp down that ramp,
into the squared circle, and take the red hot tag titles
off of the chiz-amps and make them ice cold,
well, then, in the immortal words…
[laughing] "You've got another thing coming."
Law around here is DX law,
and he who breaks the law goes back to the house of pain.
I don't think they got that.
The Moreau thing went right over their heads.
Right. Hey, Rocky, Remember this.
You mess with us.
It's not, know your role.
-It's shut your hole. -[Lawler laughs]
[The Rock] You smell what The Rock is cooking?
["Destiny" playing]
[JR] Well, well, well. Business just might be about ready to pick up.
[crowd chanting] Rocky sucks! Rocky sucks!
The WWE tag title on the line here.
[announcer] …and the challenger…
[JR] Well, I'll tell you one thing. They're not going to waste any time.
They're getting it on, and they're getting it on all over this place.
[Lawler] Man! Everybody's fighting, JR.
[indistinct shouting]
The entire Nation is going after DX.
[JR] DX and The Nation…
in a real out of control fight here.
-[Lawler] Look out! -[JR] They're double teaming,
they're kicking, punching, the referees are down.
We got Commissioner Slaughter out here.
[Lawler] Mark Henry in this match and D-Lo in this match.
[JR] I think so.
-[Lawler] Are we in this match? -[JR] I'm not.
The tag title's supposed to be on the line here.
These officials need to try as best they can to get this thing back together.
We got cameramen being knocked down.
They may be injured.
[Lawler] Hunter's in the right place, he's in the ring.
He's the only one there.
[JR] We've got to get-- We've got an injured cameraman out here.
We've got to get this back together.
This match will start, folks, when we come back.
We think.
[JR] We are back live, ladies and gentlemen, on the War Zone,
the WWE tag titles will be decided right here, right now.
And during that commercial break, it took a lot of bodies
to get a lot of bigger bodies calmed down and back
in the locker room area somewhere.
[Lawler] I want to tell you they were all over the place, JR.
They were out here on our on our announce desk.
There was the entire Nation taking on all of DX.
And then half of the officials from in the back came out
and finally we got a match going here.
[JR] Chyna has remained out here with the New Age Outlaws.
And The Rock and Owen alone here, and low blow by The Rock,
The Intercontinental Champion who will meet Faarooq
at Over the Edge in 13 days on pay-per-view.
In what will be no doubt a real war between The Rock
and the former leader of The Nation, Faarooq.
-[Lawler] With The Rock now. -[JR] Rock, exposing that elbow.
He calls it the People's Elbow, and The Rock throws it right in the heart…
of the Road Dogg. There's a cover, lateral press.
And a two-and-a-half count. With a tag team gold on the line.
[Lawler] Will you just take a look at The Rock?
He is a magnificent physical specimen.
And if you ask me, Faarooq, at the pay-per-view,
is going to be like Susan Lucci at the Daytime Emmy Awards.
Glad to be there, but ain't no way they're going to win.
[JR] Off for the 18th time. Not a good streak.
Why do you think Owen Hart joined The Nation?
A lot of folks are still wondering about that.
[Lawler] I think, to be honest with you, I think Owen Hart, finally wised up.
His entire family deserted him.
He was the last Hart left, and he needed some allies.
He needed somebody that would stick with him though thick and thin.
And I think he thinks The Nation will do that.
I think they will, too.
And I think Owen Hart has a great deal in common with The Rock.
Rock, a third generation competitor, of course, Owen, a second generation star.
Look at the power, the power of Billy Gunn.
Your bodyguard's still on the job here, King, Al Snow.
Enzuigiri. Bigtime enzuigiri by Owen Hart. Will that be enough
to put Billy Gunn away? Lateral press.
And Owen reaching for the leg, couldn't quite hook it.
And got a near fall anyway.
The Rock, the reigning Intercontinental Champion.
Owen has been the Intercontinental Champion
and Tag Champion on multiple occasions.
-Really hasn't been anything… -[Lawler] Look at this.
[JR] …Owen Hart hasn't done except win the WWE title.
[Lawler exclaims]
[JR] All right. Headlock by Billy Gunn.
Rock can't connect the clothesline.
But connects with a reverse elbow.
Two magnificent young athletes here.
[Lawler] This is two great teams. I got to be honest with you.
I got all the respect in the world for The Rock and for Owen Hart.
But you got to love DX. At least I do. They're cool.
You never know what they're gonna do next. They're entertaining.
Sure, they're crude, they're vulgar.
They're ill-bred. They're immoral.
But you gotta love them. I mean, they're allowed to do anything.
They walked into this arena tonight, saw a sign that said "wet floor",
so they did. [laughs]
[JR] Thinking of immoral, we expect to hear from Paul Bearer,
and the results of that DNA testing regarding Paul Bearer's…
being the father of Kane.
[Lawler] Paul Bearer's like me, his word is his bond.
If he says he's Kane's father, you take it to the bank.
Just like I told Al Snow.
[JR] Owen Hart, the big elbow, right off the top,
flying through the air, now Owen Hart is biting the Road Dogg's ear.
Owen Hart has been like a ravaged animal
on several occasions since joining The Nation.
[Lawler] Man!
As I was saying, I told Al Snow he'd get a meeting with Vince McMahon
if he watches my back, and he can take that to the bank.
[JR] Owen Hart has drawn blood on the ear of the Road Dogg,
and The Rock couldn't connect with the elbow.
And Road Dogg, another second generation star,
his daddy, "Bullet" Bob Armstrong, one the toughest in his day
to ever step in the ring.
And there's a reversal of the whip and Owen Hart downstairs,
the cheap shot in the kidneys and the lowdown.
[Lawler] That could be it for the WWE tag titles.
[JR] The Road Dogg…
Billy Gunn just saved the tag titles.
It was a Rock Bottom.
And now Chyna up on the apron.
[Lawler] Look at The Rock.
[speaks indistinctly]
[JR] Wait a minute, that's Faarooq.
[Lawler] And Rock, look at this!
[JR] Faarooq with a piledriver.
[Lawler] Ref!
[JR] Oh, man. Hey, ref!
-And the Outlaws retain the tag titles… -[bell ringing]
…with a big assist from Faarooq.
[announcer] …the winners, and still WWE Tag Team Champions,
the New Age Outlaws!
Well, I'll tell you what. On Sunday, May 31 at the Milwaukee Arena,
a battered and bloody Road Dogg, thanks to Owen Hart.
[crowd screaming]
Jerry, take care of him, will you?
[Lawler] I'm gonna get you the meeting with Vince, don't worry about it.
[JR] He's not gonna get you no meeting with Vince, Al.
You're not gonna get him a meeting.
You're using that guy.
[Lawler] What do you mean?
[JR] Well, ladies and gentlemen, up next, we hope to find out the results
of the DNA tests that were conducted earlier today,
to determine if indeed Paul Bearer is the father of Kane.
[Lawler] I can guarantee you he is.
What's he still doing here?
[JR] Why haven't the cops taken Austin to jail?
-[Lawler] Get rid of him. -[JR] What's going on here?
[Lawler] Put him in the slammer.
We are live, ladies and gentlemen.
-…apologize to this man right here. -Want me to apologize?
I'm sorry I had to beat your stupid ass. If you let me in…
If you let me in, I wouldn't have to do all that.
I thought I was free to go.
You're free to go if you apologize.
I said I'm sorry for you being so damn stupid.
And if you don't understand, here's to you.
-[JR] Stone Cold has just been released. -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] What?
-They're letting him go? -[JR] Oh, man.
And now the answer to the question we've all pondered for weeks.
The question of whether or not Paul Bearer
is indeed the biological father of Kane.
Earlier today, both Kane and Paul Bearer
had blood given to have DNA testing done. Here with me at this time,
Dr. Chuck Woosley.
Doctor, I know that you have gotten the analysis.
You've gotten the information back.
The question on everybody's mind, is Paul Bearer
the biological father of Kane?
Kevin, I'll tell you. I can honestly tell you,
beyond a shadow of a doubt, without any uncertainty,
after exhausting all of our analytical methods
in determining fatherhood…
Paul Bearer is the biological father of Kane.
[Lawler] What'd I tell ya?
-[JR] Wow! -What did I tell you?
-[JR] That's a blockbuster. -Uh-oh.
[crowd cheering]
-["Burned" playing] -[Lawler] Al, no, that's not--
[JR] Where is he?
Look out, King! Behind you!
[Lawler] Oh, no! Al, come over here!
-Get the head over here. -[JR] Oh, King, look out!
Well, here comes the proud papa.
[Lawler] Look at that smile, JR.
[JR] All them chins are just jiggling like Jell-O.
He's a happy daddy.
Well, if he ain't a big daddy, there never was one.
[Lawler] You can't argue with that, JR.
This is legit. That's DNA, baby.
And don't get any stronger proof than that.
[JR] And this is… Can you imagine how The Undertaker…
I have not seen The Undertaker all day.
Can you imagine how he is going to feel
when he hears this information?
[Lawler exclaims]
[Lawler] He's about to hear it. Proof positive.
Kane is the son of Paul Bearer.
Can't wait for Father's Day.
-Coming up in June, you know. -[JR] I know.
Paul Bearer, you've got to be pleased with the public proclamation of the news.
I'm not the little boy that howled "wolf".
And I'm the fat man that tells the truth.
I told you, Undertaker, that your brother was alive, and here he is.
I told you, Undertaker, that I was the father of Kane
and the proof is in the pudding.
Now there's something that you need to understand, Undertaker,
something that Kane has accepted
a long time ago, your mama was nothing but a damn two-bit whore.
[JR] My God, that is--
And that's the truth.
-[JR] Oh! Oh, here comes -[Lawler] Oh, my God.
[JR] The Undertaker.
It's The Undertaker.
The Undertaker and Kane.
[Lawler] Get out of there.
[JR] The Undertaker, oh, just knocked Paul Bearer down.
-[JR] And, now, Kane… -[Lawler] Get out!
[JR] And Kane's going for the ride.
The Undertaker.
-[Lawler] He's gonna kill him. -[JR] He's beating Paul Bearer.
But here comes Kane back up.
Kane, back up.
-And now Kane… -[Lawler] Get him!
begins his physical assault on his brother.
[Lawler] Yes!
-[JR] Oh, The Undertaker, Chokeslam! -[Lawler] …him right there now.
[Lawler] Oh, yes!
[JR] Kane, now, having his way with The Undertaker.
-And look at Paul Bearer. -[Lawler] Ah!
[JR] And, wait a minute, here comes Vader.
[Lawler] What?
-[JR] Here comes Vader. -[Lawler] Look out, Kane.
[JR] Oh, Vader, knocking down Kane.
Vader and Kane, at Over the Edge.
[Lawler] Look out, Taker is up.
-Get away, Paul! -[JR] Taker is going after Paul Bearer.
Vader is fighting with Kane.
[Lawler] Run, Paul, Run.
[JR] All hell is breaking loose.
Vader, the 400-pounder.
Ah, man, what impact!
-[Lawler] No! -[JR] And, there goes Kane.
And he landed on his feet, King!
[JR] Oh, the loser, unmasked at Unforgiven between these two,
Are we going to have that Street Fight?
-Will it be next? -[crowd cheering]
[JR] We're back, and I'm still shocked at the hideous remark that Paul Bearer made,
about The Undertaker's mother, just a moment ago.
Your mama was nothing but a damn two-bit who--
[JR] Well, I'm not gonna hear that again.
Here comes The Undertaker.
And I thought, much like Seinfeld,
this is going to be your last episode with us.
We saw Undertaker coming out here. But he came for Kane.
But more specifically, The Undertaker wanted Paul Bearer.
[Lawler] He didn't want none of me because
he saw Al Snow sitting over here with the head.
But he did a number on poor Paul. Uh-oh.
We are back live, folks.
Stone Cold lacing them up, getting ready for a Street Fight.
-But we don't know who with. -[bell ringing]
Whom against, we should say.
[announcer] The following Handicap Tag Team Match is scheduled for one fall,
with TV time remaining,
making their way to the ring at a combined weight of 508 pounds
from Brisco Brothers Body Shop, Gerald Brisco,
and the first Intercontinental Champion, Pat Patterson!
[JR] Well, the Brisco Brothers Body Shop getting a big plug there.
And, of course, Pat Patterson works there part time.
He does rear end work there.
Down in Tampa, I guess it's worth the drive. I don't know.
[Lawler] I think they both came right in from the Waffle House, looks like.
[JR] So it's going to be Patterson--
[Lawler] Wait, these guys aren't gonna wrestle, are they?
[JR] It's a Street Fight, King. Where have you been?
[Lawler] I mean, no way!
[JR] Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco are going to have a Street Fight
two-on-one.
[announcer] The special guest referee for this contest,
Sgt. Slaughter!
-[Lawler] Whoa! -[JR] Uh-oh.
And the plot thickens.
[Lawler] You mean…
the World Wrestling Entertainment commissioner
is going to referee this match?
[JR] And another very close compatriot of Mr. McMahon.
A very good friend of Mr. Patterson.
Have you ever heard the term "stacked deck"?
Austin has got to fight these two in a Street Fight.
[Lawler] Look at this.
[JR] Al Snow's got a buddy there.
A lot of Austin fans in attendance, no doubt about that.
[Lawler] Somebody wearing a Steve Austin mask.
If I was Steve Austin, I'd be wearing a mask right now.
[JR] I used to really admire Gerald Brisco.
I used to really, really I think a lot of that man.
[Lawler] So I guess now you're saying you don't admire Gerald Brisco?
[JR] I'm just disappointed in him.
[Lawler] Why?
Here's a man who is sticking up for his boss.
Let's face it.
-[glass breaking] -["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[announcer] And their opponent, from Victoria, Texas,
weighing in at 253 pounds,
he is the World Wrestling Entertainment Champion,
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin!
[JR] He is the ultimate street fighter.
He's the toughest SOB in the WWE.
And when you're the toughest SOB in WWE, you're the toughest in this business.
But Austin is going to have to pull a New York Yankees,
David Wells and pitch a perfect game to pull this one off.
A McMahon cronie, the referee.
Two McMahon associates, two-on-one here, King.
[Lawler] Cronie? Cronie, that's slander.
You can't call the commissioner of the WWE a cronie.
[imperceptible]
Oh, look at that.
[JR] He's been drunk with power. Oh!
He's not a crony, what a cheap shot.
[Lawler] Well, you gotta show some respect for the officials.
[JR] And now Patterson and Brisco and the referee knock down Austin.
It's a Street Fight, there's no rules. This is not a match.
[Lawler] Oh, look at this.
[JR] Brisco is trying to break Austin's leg.
And Patterson, with those right hands, right in Austin's face.
This is a mugging, this is a gang fight.
And Austin's a one-man gang here.
[Lawler] Come on, calm down, JR. Your blood pressure is getting up.
This is great.
Pound him into the ground. He should have went to jail.
That'd be the safest place for you.
-[JR] What's Patterson doing? -[Lawler] No telling.
[JR] Good Lord, he's got something on his hand there.
Patterson has some sort of foreign object on his hand.
Look at Brisco.
Brisco makes the cover and Austin kicked out.
-And he said, "Oh, hell" -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Oh, no!
This is what we're going to see at Over the Edge, lookout!
[JR] Brisco went outside. Oh, Patterson, up on top!
Patterson is over 50-years old.
I think he's 58, we got a seniors tour, but what the hell?
[Lawler] Pat's hurt bad.
Do something, Sarge.
[JR] Brisco's going to need some body work.
And the southpaw got a left shot in that didn't even faze the WWE Champion.
[Lawler] Look at this.
-[JR] Patterson reversed the whip… -[Lawler] Oh, no!
[JR] Patterson, upside down.
Look at Brisco now, grabbing the leg.
Brisco the grade amateur at Oklahoma State, many moons ago.
[Lawler] Get him, Pat!
Look out! Ooh!
[JR] Brisco, face first into the turnbuckle.
Again, this is not a sanctioned match.
This is nothing but a Street Fight.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Come on, ref!
[JR, scornfully] "Come on, ref."
[Lawler] And wait, oh!
[JR] Austin is just now beating the hell
out of Mr. McMahon's cronies.
And if Slaughter's not careful, he could be next.
Ooh. I'm surprised Dude Love's not out here doing commentary.
[Lawler] Can you believe what we're seeing?
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin beating up a helpless man.
[screeches]
He's done him into next week.
[JR] He's done him all the way over. Stone Cold…
[Lawler] Save yourself!
It's better to be a coward for a minute than dead for the rest of your life.
This is getting "over the edge," and we're not even near Milwaukee.
That's what you get.
[Lawler] Look! He's got the Cobra Clutch.
-Oh, no. -[crowd cheering]
[JR] The referee Slaughter, attacking Austin.
-And the Stunner. -[Lawler exclaims]
[JR] Oh, my, here comes Dude Love.
-Let's get it on! -[Lawler] Look out!
[JR] Let's get it on!
That's a fist fight.
That's a Street Fight.
It's hellacious.
There goes Dude, the number-one contender knocked on his ample posterior.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Look out, oh!
[JR] The Rattlesnake is fighting for his life.
-[air horn blares] -[indistinct shouting]
[JR speaking indistinctly]
…security, really Wait a minute.
There's a fan here.
Get security out here!
[Lawler] Now, get that doof.
[JR] That was a fan, some Austin fan.
[Lawler] He's one of those Stone Cold fans. He's an idiot.
Look at him. He's got a chair.
[JR] He hit Dude with that chair. Now he hit Austin with it.
What the hell?
[Lawler] Oh, it's McMahon! It's Vince McMahon!
[crowd cheering and shouting]
McMahon… got knocked back to the corner.
And now Dude Love is gonna take over on Austin.
My God, the odds are insurmountable!
-Austin's not gonna walk out of Nashville. -[Lawler exclaims]
[JR] He's not gonna walk out of Milwaukee with a title.
Dude Love's got the Mandible Claw on The Rattlesnake.
[Lawler] This is it.
We're seeing the end of Steve Austin.
And look at McMahon. He's gloating.
[JR] Can you imagine what Austin's gonna do here next week?
Austin's been assaulted by four men. My God, The Rattlesnake is down.
[rock music playing]
[indistinct shouting]
Are you all right?
I'm okay.
[indistinct conversation]
[crowd chanting] Austin! Austin! Austin!
[crowd booing]
[crowd chanting] Austin! Austin! Austin!
Oh-ho! What do you think?
[crowd booing]
[crowd cheering]
[indistinct shouting]
[crowd cheering] ing]
