[Vince] Will you, Austin, join us, as we present
the official WWE Championship belt
to the new World Wrestling Entertainment Champion?
-[JR] That's Austin! -[crowd cheering]
-[Lawler] Wait a minute! -[JR] Austin tearing up equipment.
-Austin's raising hell! -[Lawler] What!
[JR] Stone Cold! Stone Cold is here!
-[Lawler] Get your guns out! -[JR] He's gonna crash McMahon's party!
Oh, yeah! Austin got McMahon! Austin got McMahon!
-Austin got McMahon! -[crowd cheering]
-[Lawler] Get him! Get him! -[Kelly] Oh, the cops are cuffing Austin!
[Lawler] Lock him up!
[Stone Cold] I ain't through with you, Vince.
I ain't through with you, not yet, by a long shot.
Undertaker and Kane, you didn't live up your end of the deal,
I'm not gonna live up to mine!
-[Lawler] Oh! -[JR] The Undertaker just nailed McMahon!
Kane and The Undertaker are stomping the owner of this company!
-Oh, no! -[crowd cheering]
Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

[JR] This is WWE Raw with 13 days and counting
for the sold-out Judgment Day!
And, tonight, we've got three magnificent main events,
including The Rock meeting The Undertaker,
"The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock
going one-on-one with Kane in this match for the European Title,
X-Pac to defend against D-Lo Brown!
["Make Some Noise" continues playing]
Hello again, everybody. I'm Jim Ross, alongside Jerry "The King" Lawler.
We are at ringside. And also, tonight, we expect to hear from Mr. McMahon
via satellite from his medical center bed.
But, King, I'll tell you one thing, D-Lo Brown went through
five other athletes last Monday on Raw to earn the opportunity for this match-up.
It was a six-man, four corners elimination match-up.
[Lawler] Yes. And D-Lo Brown, well, you see him right there
taking care of The Edge.
And that put him into a position to, once again, become The European Champion.
And look at that look on his face. He's determined, he's ready!
[JR] Certainly… Oh, here we go.
And D-Lo's got the fight in his eye. And the European Championship match-up--
Oh, man! What a kick!
What a roundhouse kick by X-Pac on D-Lo, right in the face.
And this… Oh, what a shot!
What a shot! And Chyna, along with every member of DX,
has been under a lot of stress lately.
And… Oh, powerslam.
Boy, that's a difference-maker right there.
You better recognize just who the hell I am!
[JR] D-Lo, at almost 300 pounds, with a big mass advantage.
And there's the strongest man in the world, Mark Henry.
And, certainly, the world is well aware of Mark Henry's challenges with Chyna.
[Lawler] Oh, they've had some problems of late.
There have been some serious run-ins and even some legal entanglements.
[JR] As we said, DX under a lot of stress,
-certainly as it relates to Billy Gunn. -[Lawler] Oh, man!
[JR] And we'll get into that story as the night progresses.
That could be…
It is a two-count, a near fall. And look at X-Pac.
He's gotta really reach down here.
-D-Lo is fired up. -[Lawler] Yeah.
X-Pac's under a lot of stress right now, if you ask me,
[crowd chanting] D-Lo Brown! D-Lo Brown!
[JR] Scooping up X-Pac as a… the bigger, the stronger, D-Lo Brown.
And D-Lo, wrapping that big arm around the neck of X-Pac,
grounding the high-flyer.
Hey, wait a minute.
Who's that guy? King, look there.
-[Lawler] Where? -[crowd clamoring]
[JR] Looks like another…
Chyna's been served with more papers.
That's the second time we've seen that.
[Lawler] Look at… Look at the look on Mark Henry's face, a big smile.
[JR] Well, I wonder what that's all about.
[Lawler] I don't know, but he said, "It's from me."
[JR] Well, usually, when that sort of thing happens,
it's some sort of legal business.
[Lawler] Maybe it's a love letter.
[JR] Well, it could be, I suppose, but I kind of doubt it.
Boy, Chyna is very…
She's not very happy at all.
[Lawler] Look… Look at him. He's kind of…
He's cleaning himself up, kind of prepping there.
He's referred to Chyna as his girlfriend lately.
[crowd chanting] D-Lo Brown!
[JR] D-Lo, now, reaching down on that reverse chinlock on X-Pac.
The European Championship on the line.
We've documented that there is obviously some degree of dissension
between Billy Gunn and the other members of DX.
As we said, a lot of… Oh, X-Pac holding that hand up,
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[crowd cheering]
[JR] Referee Tim White checking the arm three times.
[Lawler] Oh!
[JR] Now, that chest protector's gonna prevent any impact from that--
-[Lawler exclaims] -[JR] Oh! Well, that's a good suplex.
[Lawler] He doesn't have a head protector.
[JR] There's no… There's no back protector here.
-[Lawler] No! -[JR] And, again, we've got…
This is our first of three huge main events tonight.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin is gonna be here to tell his side of the story.
And the story here, now, is that D-Lo Brown just about…
just about became the European Champion again.
-And you know-- -[Lawler] Mr. Vince McMahon
is gonna be with us via satellite tonight and, hopefully,
we won't have any problems with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,
like last night where… where he cut the…
He cut the satellite cable, JR!
What about that?
[JR] Well, that's Austin. He can do anything.
He's gonna do whatever he wants here tonight, too.
You saw what he did, as you documented on more than one occasion,
raising some cain,
-uh, no pun intended… -[Lawler] Look out!
[JR] …last night on Sunday Night Heat.
Sidewalk slam. Both legs are hooked.
And X-Pac reaching down as far as he could to get the right shoulder off the canvas.
Well, between this stress of being the European Champion,
you've got Triple H
after his knee surgery in a wheelchair,
the decision with Billy Gunn and the rest of the group…
-And, now, D-Lo going up top here. -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] You didn't mention Chyna's problems with Mark Henry.
-What! -[JR] Oh, my!
[Lawler] We thought that she was in love with Mark Henry.
[JR] Nobody… I don't know about that.
-[Lawler] Yeah. -[JR] Nobody there for the Lo Down,
D-Lo's version of the Frog Splash.
And that chest protector may come back to haunt D-Lo.
before it's all said and done.
[Lawler] Get up, D-Lo!
[JR] Anybody's ball game here for the European Title.
And we're gonna have some wars here tonight, folks.
It could be a war from "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. He's…
I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't declare war on the world
after getting screwed out of the WWE Title at Breakdown.
-[Lawler] Look at that. -[JR] And look at X-Pac fight back.
[Lawler] Boy, this kid's got a great competitive spirit.
-Watch out! -[JR] Oh, what a move!
Tremendous back heel kick. And X-Pac, now, quickening the pace.
This is what he wanted to do.
The faster the pace, the better for the champion.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Watch it, D-Lo!
-Yo! -[JR] Oh, look out!
The Bronco Buster!
-And look at this crowd, on their feet! -[crowd cheering]
X-Pac, the European Champion,
back in the old proverbial driver's seat here
[Lawler] Is that… I almost thought I saw a smile.
-Oh, D-Lo… D-Lo… -[JR] Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Mark Henry trying to trip X-Pac.
-[Lawler] Look at that! -[JR] Uh-oh!
The World's Strongest Man… Oh, my God!
He just drilled X-Pac's spine, his lower back, into the ring post.
[Lawler] Well, that was a big mistake by X-Pac,
who tried to crossbody Mark Henry. He just did… Oh!
It worked, look at that!
[JR] The Lo Down with the chest protector
-on that injured back a handful of times! -[bell rings]
-And we've got a champion! -[Lawler] New champion! [cackling]
[JR] A new European Champion has been crowned here on Raw!
[Lawler] All right!
[announcer] …new World Wrestling Entertainment European Champion,
D-Lo Brown!
[Lawler] Boy, oh, boy, JR!
Look at the look on Chyna's face now! New champion, Chyna!
[JR] You gotta wonder if this is gonna add to the woes of DX.
[crowd cheering]
D-Lo Brown, once again the European Champion,
but not, King, without a huge assist right here from Mark Henry.
[Lawler] Well, I just think this was a stupid move by X-Pac.
Look at that! You think you're gonna do something to The World's Strongest Man?
Unbelievable!
[JR] I'll tell you one thing, without Mr. Mark Henry,
X-Pac would have retained the European Title, King.
It doesn't really matter.
All that matters is, once again, D-Lo is the champ of Europe. [laughs]
And, ladies and gentlemen, right here tonight, as we said,
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Rattlesnake himself
is going to join us to tell his side of this Mr. McMahon saga
surrounding the WWE Title, King.
-But that's not all. -Oh, you're right. That's not all.
We're gonna see a brouhaha when Kane goes against
the "World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock.
[JR] And what about this main event? The Rock will go one-on-one
with The Phenom of the WWE, The Undertaker.
The Rock, The Undertaker collide tonight.
Well, finally, we're also gonna hear from Mr. McMahon,
who's been readmitted to the hospital. We'll hear from him via satellite.
And this is an undisclosed medical center,
so, hopefully, Stone Cold can't cause any satellite problems.
[JR] I don't think… The problems come from that man, Mr. McMahon.
-It's grape juice. -I want apple juice!
Yes, sir, I'll get your juice.
[JR] Well, he's a rather surly patient, is the owner of the WWE.
Well, folks, The Oddities were not in mourning earlier today
over Mr. McMahon's physical condition, King.
They were playing a little touch football.
[Lawler] Oh, look at these… the Insane Clown Posse,
those evil clowns, trying to play football. Look at 'em!
They running around like idiots!
[JR chuckling] Folks, we'll be right back.
[man] What are you guys doing?
[JR] We are back, ladies and gentlemen, here on Raw. And…
Oh, here come The Headbangers.
I don't have a sheet here, King,
that they are scheduled at this point.
Do you know something that I don't know about this?
[Lawler] No, I don't know. What are they doing out here?
-["Bangers" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[JR] Well, we know that The Headbangers have had some…
-[Lawler] Oh! Oh! -[JR] …issues with The Oddities.
[Lawler] Did you see that?
[crowd booing]
-[JR] What's going on? -Hey!
Hey, Clowns.
The last few times we've been out here, you've stuck your nose
in The Headbangers business where it doesn't belong.
[crowd jeering]
So, I'm gonna take this opportunity to let you know there's not a right way,
there's not a wrong way,
there's only The Headbangers way.
[Lawler] Talking about the Insane Clown Posse?
I know y'all aren't wrestlers, but I'm sure as hell hoping you can fight,
'cause we just wanna fight.
So, if you got the marbles, come on down and fight, boys!
[Lawler] We saw 'em trying to play touch football. You're asking--
-[Thrasher] No, no, no, no, no! -[crowd cheering]
We don't want you!
We want those stinking Clowns!
So, just turn around and bring 'em out here.
[Lawler] They wanna fight the Insane Clown Posse?
Go back and get 'em!
[JR] That's what it sounds like.
The Insane Clown Posse are musicians, they're not wrestlers.
[Lawler] But they're… they're crazy, JR. They'll mix it up, I guarantee you.
[Thrasher] Go, get 'em!
Go get those Clowns!
[JR] Well, The Headbangers do not want to fight The Oddities, obviously.
I'll tell you what, these ICP guys,
Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J are a little twisted themselves.
[Lawler] Have you ever seen one of their concerts?
[JR] I've heard about 'em.
[Lawler] Have you ever heard their last CD?
I've quit counting to 200--
[Thrasher] Let's go! If you got them, let's go!
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Look at these guys!
[JR] Well, Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J stepping out here.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Send them back!
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Headbangers want The Oddities to leave.
[Thrasher] You two in here by yourself,
and we'll show you what real heavy metal is all about.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Well, the Insane Clown Posse, on two occasions, have been instrumental
in The Headbangers losing to The Oddities.
[Lawler] Wait a minute. I know that the Insane Clown Posse…
I happen to know, personally, that they are banned
from performing in this very building.
-I know that's musically, what… -[crowd chanting] ICP! ICP!
[Lawler] You think they'll allow them to get in there and attempt to wrestle?
[JR] Well, they may not let 'em sing here, but…
The Headbangers are not asking for a concert. They're asking for a fight.
[crowd clamoring]
[Lawler] Well, I tell you what, If they get in there with The Headbangers,
they are insane, JR.
[JR] And Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J, as I said,
they're known pretty much, behind the scenes,
as being a little bit sick and twisted.
[Lawler] Luna's a little worried. They're getting in there! Look at this!
[JR] Oh, this is not gonna be pretty at all, ladies and gentlemen.
The Headbangers are former WWE Tag Team Champions.
[Lawler] And The Oddities are gone and…
-Look at this! -[JR] Violent J just gets assaulted,
and Shaggy 2 Dope… Oh, my!
-[Lawler] Oh! -[JR] What a flapjack!
[crowd clamoring]
What a flapjack.
[Lawler] I cannot believe what we're seeing here, JR.
[JR] These Headbangers are…
I don't know what the issue is between The Headbangers
and the Insane Clown Posse and, certainly, The Oddities.
-But, boy, there's a problem. -[Lawler] Oh!
[JR] Double suplex!
[Lawler] Well, I know one thing. The Insane Clown Posse…
Their record promoters and their music label people
have gotta be going nuts right now.
[JR] Violent J down on the canvas, and Shaggy 2 Dope--
-[Lawler] Oh, no! -[JR] Oh, he's gonna join him
in a very aggressive way here.
-Powerbomb. -[Lawler] I don't know…
Yo, my!
-[JR] Powerbomb right off the top! -[crowd jeering]
And I don't care who you are or what you do…
-Well, look out. -[Lawler] What is he gonna do now?
[JR] Pretty obvious.
-Thrasher's got that steel chair. -[Lawler] No, wait!
-[JR] Oh! -[crowd clamoring]
[JR] The smack of that chair right on the cranium.
-of Violent J of the Insane Clown Posse. -[Lawler] Oh!
-Metal on bone. Man! -[crowd exclaiming]
[JR] Look at the dent in that chair.
Look at the knot on the head of Shaggy 2 Dope!
[Lawler] Well, I'm probably the last person who should say something
about doing people… doing something to non-wrestlers, people like Jim Carrey,
but I think they're carrying this one--
-[JR] Oh, my! -[crowd cheering]
Oh, here come The Oddities.
The stage dive on the chair! That's certainly enough.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Wow, unbelievable!
ICP… [laughs]
You suck!
-[crowd cheering] -[JR] I can't believe these guys.
[Lawler] I… I…
[JR] And The Headbangers have…
I don't know if they've turned over a new leaf or they simply have a problem
with the folks in the ring, but…
We just saw a side of The Headbangers
that, quite frankly, is foreign to me.
[Lawler] I think The Headbangers might be coming out with their own CD.
It'll probably be called Metal on Bone.
[JR] Well, folks, speaking of injuries,
there you see, Mr. McMahon via satellite.
[Lawler] Oh, he is in a lot of pain. He needs to be sedated.
Can you get a nurse in there?
[JR] Mr. McMahon, watching us tonight on Raw.
He intended to watch us, of course, on Heat last night when…
Matter of fact, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin surprised us all.
On WWE.com, cameras caught Austin coming into the arena.
And, then, Austin went on a search.
[Lawler] Yeah, he was on a search-and-destroy mission.
There's a dangerous combination.
An idiot with an axe in his hand.
[JR] Well, Stone Cold would commandeer the production truck.
And, then, would…
coerced some very important information from a production technician.
If you don't have the exact wire, I'll split your damn head open.
-[man] That's the wire. -[Stone Cold] This is it?
This is the one that goes to Vincent's remote?
-That's the one. -[Stone Cold] You sure?
-Yeah. -You better be sure. Back your ass up.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Well, then, Austin, risking electrocution…
-[Lawler] No! -[JR] …destroyed the feed from the arena
to Mr. McMahon's medical center room.
But Austin will be here tonight to tell his side of the story, uninterrupted.
[JR] Welcome back to Raw, everybody,
which is being brought to you tonight by Propecia.
Talk to your doctor today.
[Lawler] And by Western Union,
the fastest way to send money worldwide.
[JR] And by Steve Austin's Stone Cold Metal CD,
available now in stores.
[Lawler] Well, last week, JR,
a triumphant Mr. McMahon was on the verge of naming either Kane or The Undertaker,
the new World Wrestling Entertainment Champion,
after both men simultaneously pinned "Stone Cold" Steve Austin at Breakdown.
[JR] Well, I'll tell you one thing, The Rattlesnake did crash the party.
-Look at this Zamboni. -[Lawler exclaims]
There's The Rattlesnake, almost knocking the ring down,
defying the odds with a clothesline right in McMahon's face.
And Austin getting a little bit of payback,
a little bit of a payback that he's got coming
after being screwed out of the WWE Title.
Well, Mr. McMahon was enraged, folks,
He did not name a new WWE Champion like he promised he would.
But instead, Mr. McMahon, the owner of the WWE,
laid down the corporate law
-to the demonic duo. -[JR] Yes!
On the next pay-per-view…
October 18,
you two are gonna battle it out for the WWE Championship,
whether you like it or not.
Austin is gonna be the guest referee.
-[JR] Oh, my God in heaven. -[Lawler] What?
I'd like to wish you the best of luck.
You know why?
Because, as far as I'm concerned, it's like dealing with the handicapped.
[JR] Uh-oh. Easy.
One's physical, and the other is mental.
-[Lawler] Wait a minute! -[crowd cheering]
Get your hands off him.
You need to watch your ass,
because the next time you get out of line with either one of us,
you're gonna be the one handicapped.
And that, I will promise.
[JR] Mr. McMahon has been warned.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[JR] Oh, he got caught.
[crowd cheering]
-[Lawler exclaiming] -[JR] Undertaker just nailed McMahon!
[Lawler] He can't do that!
[JR] The Undertaker assaulting Vince McMahon!
-[Lawler exclaiming] -And, now, Kane!
Kane and The Undertaker are stomping the owner of this company!
[Lawler] 911, call it now!
[crowd cheering]
[JR] They're going for McMahon's knee!
Undertaker trying to break McMahon's leg!
Undertaker crippling the knee!
McMahon has been crippled! McMahon has been crippled!
[crowd clamoring]
-[JR] Oh, come on now. -[Lawler] What are they gonna do?
[JR] Undertaker has got those steel steps. Undertaker… Oh, no!
-Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! -[crowd cheering]
Vince McMahon's leg's gotta be shattered now!
[Lawler] Don't move it! Don't move it! Call a doctor!
[JR] And we need… McMahon needs an ambulance.
[Lawler] Mr. McMahon was hospitalized last Monday night, JR,
but courageously released himself the next day.
[JR] But yesterday morning, however, Mr. McMahon's doctor readmitted him
for more treatment on his battered left leg.
And I think now, ladies and gentlemen, we're about to go to Mr. McMahon's room…
-You have a visitor. -[monitor beeping]
-What do you mean, a visitor? -A really, really big fella
wants to come see you.
I don't want any visitors.
Just my family. I told you, just my immediate family.
-[nurse] I know. -I don't want any visitors.
-[JR] Uh-oh. -He's big and he's threatening the staff,
-[JR] Uh-oh. -He threatened one of the orderlies.
I don't want any damn visitors!
-I don't want any visitors! -[beeping quickens]
[man] Turn that frown upside down.
Vince, it's me!
[Vince] How did you find me?
I saw what happened and I felt really bad, so I brought you some presents.
Take a hold of these.
[chuckling] Aren't they colorful?
And some candy. I know that you like the sweet stuff.
Vinny's got a sweet tooth.
Come on, come on, open them up. This is great.
-This is great. [chuckling] -Hold this for me.
You know I'm in a lot of pain.
I know you're in a lot of pain.
That's why I brought you these.
Those things are delicious.
And I'll tell you what, I brought another guest here,
who really wants to see you bad.
-Look at… You brought what? -[chuckling]
I brought another guest for you.
Someone who really wants to see you bad.
That's it.
-What? -You… You brought him?
-[beeping intensifies] -No, no, no. It's not a him. It's a she.
It's a she.
I brought you some female entertainment, and I think you know what I mean.
She does a trick with a dog that you won't believe.
-Vince McMahon, say hello to… -[Vince] No.
…Yurple! [hums tune]
Hey, Vinny, how ya doin'? I came to make you feel better, Vinny!
I sure did. Here's a rainbow for you,
to let you know that there are brighter days ahead.
-[high-pitched whistle] -And I'm here to spread
nothing but smiles.
-So I have this wonderful sticker for you. -[whistling]
We'll just put it right here.
-Keep it far away from your eye… -[Mankind] Show the trick with the dog.
-Show him the trick with the dog. -[Yurple] The dog! Yeah.
-I gotta do a dog, real quick. -Don't show me any damn trick with a dog.
Oh, yeah, it'll make you feel so much better.
You'll just love it, I guarantee you
You sure will!
-I don't want this candy. -See, I can tell the difference
-it's making already. You're smiling. -I don't want--
[Mankind] I've brought one other visitor! Another special guest!
What the hell are you doing?
[Mankind] Mr. Socko! [chuckling]
Say hello to Mr. Socko.
Mr. Socko knows you've been feeling mighty bad,
so he's gonna give your boo-boo
-a big kiss. [chuckling] -Hey, nurse.
You're gonna what?
Hey, hey… [groans]
No, Mick! Please, please!
-Just leave. -Mr. Socko!
Please leave. Please.
[high-pitched whistle]
Damn it, leave!
-[Mankind] Let's get out of here. -And take this crap with you.
Take it out!
Take it all out!
Get out!
Mr. Socko!
[Lawler] JR, that was awful.
Who told Mick Foley where Mr. McMahon was?
[JR] I don't know. Folks, we'll hear from the owner when he's in a better mood.
Also, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[Lawler] And I've asked Sable to come out here and join us,
-if you don't mind, JR. -[JR] I don't mind a bit.
Sable here, next.
[crowd cheering]
-["Wild Cat" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[JR] They're on their feet. No doubt about it.
-[crowd cheering] -[JR] That's… Whoa, what a…
Is she beautiful or what? Sable, ladies and gentlemen! By the way,
my thoughts will be on Pac Blue this Sunday,
immediately following WWE Sunday Night Heat.
[Lawler] Oh, we're talking baby blue.
[JR] You're not lying.
[Lawler] You like prison movies, JR?
I'd like to be the warden of that jail, wouldn't you?
[JR] I know you liked gladiator movies growing up, but…
I can't wait to see some Pacific Blue. I'm gonna tape it on about three VCRs.
[JR] Can you imagine being a prison guard
-in Sable's women's prison? -[crowd cheering]
We've got a lot to talk about with Sable tonight,
specifically the WWE Women's Title situation.
-[Lawler] All right. -[JR] Well, here she comes.
-[Lawler] Yes. -[crowd cheering]
Here you go. Right here.
[JR] Apparently, good to be a king, I guess.
Have a seat.
You all right? Everything okay?
Here, let me help you.
[JR] Attaboy, King.
["Wild Cat" continues playing]
-[Lawler] Perfect. -[JR] Quite the Southern gentleman.
Oh!
♪ Well, it's time, it's time ♪
♪ It's Vader time! ♪
-["Mastodon" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[JR] 400 pounds-plus is "The Mastodon" Vader.
[crowd cheering]
Vader to take on Marvelous Marc Mero here.
And still to come, folks, we expect to hear some pretty pointed remarks
from "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, right here tonight.
Plus, two more big main events still to come, King.
[Lawler] Well, I'll tell you one thing,
I wanna say some more about that idiot, Mick Foley.
[JR] Well, "The Mastodon" Vader making his way into the ring.
This could be quite a challenge for "Marvelous" Marc Mero.
And, Sable, we expect that "Marvelous" Marc will be accompanied
by the WWE Women's Champion, Jacqueline.
I know you got some thoughts on that situation.
Yes, I do.
She may be the World Wrestling Entertainment Women's Champion
at this time, but that is a title that I want to hold.
And it's something that I'm gonna be working very hard to achieve.
I'm not gonna be satisfied until I represent
the World Wrestling Entertainment.
[Lawler] Let me ask you this, in other words, you sort of feel like
she's a disgrace as a champion, right?
-King? -What?
[JR] Can you scoot back over here?
-Have you got enough room? -[JR] You're getting all close her.
It's a little close, but I'm very comfortable.
You heard that, didn't ya?
Yeah, I would say that she's not only a disgrace
to the World Wrestling Entertainment, but she's also a disgrace to Marc,
and to herself, as well.
[Lawler] Well, you know what? You sort of feel like Mr. McMahon felt
about "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
And, you know, he eventually got the job done.
He got the title off of Austin. And I got faith in you, Sable.
I think you could do the same thing here.
Well, let me just say, after this… after the match that we had,
where she beat me for the Women's Title,
it is now my goal to train as hard as I can,
to become the World Wrestling Entertainment Champion.
[Lawler] But you were never actually a wrestler, were you, I mean--
No, when I came into this business, I never claimed to be a wrestler.
I never wanted to be a wrestler.
But, now, that's something that I want more than anything.
[JR] All right. Well, here we go.
-We're gonna have… -[bell rings]
…have quite the contest here.
"Marvelous" Marc Mero giving up a lot of pounds, a lot of power to Vader.
But Mero's got the quickness on his side.
I guess one would assume, King, that this would be an upset, perhaps,
if The Marvelous One is able to put Vader down for the three.
[Lawler] Well, it might be an upset to you, but I'm telling you,
they don't call him "Marvelous" Marc for nothing.
And Sable, you gotta agree. I mean, he's got a lot of talent.
That guy's a good wrestler.
[Sable] He is very talented.
I don't believe I would call him "marvelous" though.
-[Lawler] Huh? -[JR] There's some big shots
to the body by Vader.
Sending Mero for the ride, and Mero wisely makes the U-turn there near Jacqueline.
Again, Jacqueline, the WWE Women's Champion.
-And Vader… -[crowd clamoring]
He's making his way outside.
[Lawler] Well, watch it here.
[JR] Vader confronting Jacqueline and "Marvelous" Marc here.
-[Lawler] Coming this way! -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Look at her going up and… Whoa, watch it.
-[JR] Well, Ms. Jacqueline… -[crowd clamoring]
Vader is somewhat amused
by Ms. Jacqueline's attempt at intimidation.
[Lawler] Boy, she put the human roadblock up, and he stopped.
[JR] Vader's had bigger sandwiches than Jacqueline.
[Lawler] Well, I'm a little confused about something you just said, Sable.
Because Marc told me himself
that you were the one that originally dubbed him "Marvelous."
-That's not true? -[Sable] That is not true, no.
-As you can see, I'm no longer with him. -[crowd cheering]
If he was so marvelous, I would be right by his side.
[JR] Well, I tell you what,
a "marvelous" use of the 400 pounds by Vader,
-knocking down "Marvelous" Marc. -[crowd cheering]
And Sable, we hear, the rumors have it,
that you are in some intense training right now,
to really perfect wrestling skills. Is that true?
Yes, that is. After that match, I decided I was gonna make it my personal goal…
-[Lawler] Watch it, here they come again. -[Sable] …to achieve the women's--
[JR] Wait a minute here. Wait, look out!
-[Lawler] Look at this. -[Sable] Oh.
[JR] Oh, look at that.
"Marvelous" Marc using Jacqueline as a shield.
And, now, Jacqueline, going for a Vader ride!
And Mero with those body shots…
[Lawler] And I think Jacqueline might've used those long nails of hers
right in the eyes of Vader.
-[JR] I think you're exactly right. -[crowd chanting] Sable! Sable!
[JR] Oh, hear those Sable chants!
[Lawler] Wait. Stay. Don't get up. Stay right here.
[Sable] I'm not going anywhere.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Mero sending Vader for the ride.
[Sable] Now, I ask you, is this the woman that you want to represent
the World Wrestling Entertainment?
[JR] Well, she wouldn't get my vote, quite frankly.
Oh, what a clothesline by Mero, taking down Vader.
And now "Marvelous" Marc's got the advantage.
-He better take advantage of it. -[Lawler] Oh, look at that.
He's pointing right at you, Sable.
[crowd booing]
[Sable] As you can tell, I'm still on his mind.
-[JR exclaiming] -[Lawler] Uh-oh! Uh-oh!
-[JR] I can understand that. -[Lawler] He was distracted, all right.
[JR] Right now, Vader better be on "Marvelous" Marc's mind.
[JR] Well, the elbow found it's mark there, King.
[Lawler] Yeah, he better get Sable off his mind
and start concentrating on Vader, like you said. Oh!
-[crowd exclaiming] -He's gonna lose this one.
[JR] Another hard knockdown by the Colorado Rocky Mountain monster, Vader,
on "Marvelous" Marc Mero.
Well, this one maybe just about over if Mero can't…
can't get back on the offensive.
He can't take much more of this punishment. Who could?
-[Lawler] Oh! That's it. -[JR] Big splash! That's gotta be all.
[referee] One! Two!
-[JR] Oh, Mero got a shoulder up. -[Lawler] Hey, look… look at Jacqueline!
[JR] Jacqueline up on top here, King.
-And-- -[Lawler] What's she doing? No!
[JR] Jacqueline right over Vader's head, trying to crossbody!
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Oh, no, wait!
[JR] And Vader's got the WWE Women's Champion up on his shoulder.
[Lawler] What's he gonna do?
[JR] And Vader, now very gentlemanly, sets her down very easy.
[crowd cheering]
Oh, my! The low blow!
The referee's back was turned. You saw it there.
And "Marvelous" Marc Mero, with that low blow,
just fell the big 400-pounder.
[Lawler] Well, he never saw a belt he wouldn't hit below.
-Look at this! -[JR] High risk coming up here--
-[Lawler exclaims] -[JR] Hello! Marvelocity!
Mero's got Vader.
-Mero wins with the Marvelocity! -[bell rings]
[Lawler] Now, Sable, you gotta admit, that was marvelous.
That was marvelous, yes.
See, I never take anything away from him. He's very talented.
[Lawler] Marvelocity.
The winner of this match, my man,
"Marvelous" Marc Mero!
[Sable] Her man…
She can have him.
[Lawler] Boy, I can't… Wait a minute.
[JR] Watch this move here, Marvelocity.
What a high-risk move that scored.
[crowd exclaiming]
Hey, Sable, what are you looking at?
-You want a piece of me? -[crowd cheering]
Bring it on! Bring it on!
[Lawler chuckling] Whoa.
[JR] Well, Jacqueline throwing down a challenge there.
Again, there's a time and a place.
-[Lawler] What are you gonna do? -Excuse me for a moment.
[Lawler] No!
[crowd cheering]
Don't go up there!
[JR] Well, Sable has got a look of pretty strong intentions in her eyes.
[Lawler] Yeah, but it's two against one.
Come back here, Sable!
[JR] Sable wants to be the WWE Women's Champion.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
The only reason you're upset is because, as a woman,
you could never satisfy "Marvelous" Marc Mero.
And you know it, and everybody else knows it.
-[JR] Strong words. -[Lawler] Whoa!
[JR] Strong slap right on the… Oh, from behind!
Jacqueline from behind!
And the WWE Women's Champion, what's she got in her…
Jacqueline's got scissors!
The WWE Women's Champion
with a handful of Sable… Oh, my gosh!
-[Lawler] She's cutting her golden locks! -[JR] Can you believe what we're seeing?
Jacqueline just cut a hunk out of Sable's hair!
[crowd clamoring]
This is absolutely shocking!
Sable assaulted from behind by that woman, the WWE Champion.
[Lawler] Look at Jacqueline!
She is so proud of herself!
[JR] Boy, one of these days, one of these days,
it's gonna be just Jacqueline and just Sable
right in this very ring.
[Lawler] Can't believe it. Sable has been defrocked.
[JR] Well, we haven't heard nor seen the last of this situation
between these two female competitors.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, still to come right here tonight,
it's gonna be a war.
"The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock gets it on with Kane.
[Lawler] And The Rock goes one-on-one with The Undertaker.
[JR] And we'll have a further word from Mr. McMahon,
from his medical center room.
[Lawler] Leave him alone!
He's in pain!
[crowd cheering]
[presenter] No additives, no concentrate.
You won't find this man pouring juice from a cardboard container.
Oh, no, he squeezes his own hand-selected Florida oranges
and savors his extraction, pulp and all.
He's Steven Regal, a real man's man!
[JR] And we're back on Raw, everybody. No doubt, what we saw moments ago,
a setup by "Marvelous" Marc Mero and Jacqueline.
[Mero] …"Marvelous" Marc Mero.
[JR] Mero, what a dastardly human being he is.
Manipulated Sable's back right to Jacqueline. There's a slap.
And then, kaboom, from behind, King. No doubt a setup.
[Lawler] Right. Look, Jacqueline had scissors with her.
They knew exactly what they were gonna do.
And there go the golden locks of Sable.
Cut right off.
-["You Think You Know Me" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[JR] All right, ladies and gentlemen, here we go. It's gonna be Edge
meeting Owen Hart here, one-on-one.
And, certainly, this is one of the most exciting, young WWE Superstars, is Edge,
to come along in a long, long time.
[crowd cheering]
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall,
with a 20-minute time limit.
Approaching the ring, from Toronto, Canada,
weighing in at 240 pounds, Edge!
[JR] Folks, we'll talk about it more later tonight,
but we found out that the young man with Gangrel
is actually Edge's younger brother.
And we'll have more on that story
a little bit later here tonight on Raw.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Edge just probably thinks,
"Christian, why is he hanging out with Gangrel?"
I mean, Gangrel and Edge obviously hate each other.
[JR] I really don't know. I honestly don't know.
That could be a huge, huge breaking story at any time here.
[man] Well, enough is enough and it's time for a change!
[JR] Well, I'll tell you one thing, folks, in the last seven days,
I don't think you can probably have more stress, more trauma…
Wait a minute, Owen Hart's not dressed to wrestle.
Owen Hart is scheduled to wrestle here.
[Lawler] I was about to say, he's been under a…
[JR] Been almost disconsolate, distraught
over what happened last Monday night right here.
Owen Hart dropping Dan Severn on Severn's head.
Severn, out of action with a bruised spine, King.
[Lawler] Well, I don't get all the fuss.
I was talking to Mr. McMahon this morning on the telephone.
He doesn't get it either.
He says everybody's concerned about Severn
and nobody's concerned about Mr. McMahon.
He's hurt and in a hospital.
[JR] Well, Owen Hart wrestled X-Pac last night on Heat.
Owen's heart wasn't in it.
And, consequently, X-Pac with an easy victory.
But what's this kid gonna say?
[crowd clamoring]
I've been in the wrestling business for 13 years now.
And the wrestling business has been my whole life.
But last week,
after I did what I did to Dan Severn,
and I looked into his eyes…
I saw my wife and my two children.
I never really meant for anyone to ever get hurt.
And I am so sorry for what I did.
[crowd clamoring]
[Lawler] What is this, JR?
Is he going soft?
[JR] Well, obviously, Owen Hart is too upset to compete here tonight.
[Lawler] Oh, come on, too upset? What happened to the Owen Hart I knew?
The Owen Hart of old who didn't care who he hurt,
didn't care what happened to his opponents.
He's going soft on us!
[JR] Well, maybe he's just proving he's got a conscience.
[Lawler] What's he wanna be, another Canadian hero or something?
Give me a break. He's a wuss!
[crowd jeering]
Get back here and fight!
[JR] Well, apparently, Edge is gonna get the victory here via forfeit.
Well, folks, still to come.
I guarantee you, The Undertaker is gonna go one-on-one with The Rock.
These two Superstars can't wait.
[Lawler] Well, I guarantee you, up next, you'll see a fight between these two,
Kane and ''The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock.
There he is right there, JR.
[JR] Stone Cold scheduled to be with us, as well.
He's supposed to talk, but as we know, Stone Cold is capable of anything!
[presenter] And, now, the WWE Rewind,
brought to you by 10-10-321.
Just dial it and save up to 50%.
[JR] Austin's coming into the arena!
Don't let him in here!
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Stone Cold! Stone Cold is here!
-[Lawler] Get your guns out! -[JR] He's gonna crash McMahon's party!
[crowd cheering]
Oh, he got McMahon!
He got McMahon!
[presenter] That was the WWE Rewind, brought to you by 10-10-321.
It saves 50% on all calls over 20 minutes. Who doesn't wanna save 50%?
[Cole] Owen, wait a minute. Owen!
Owen, what is going on? Where are you going? I mean…
-What's going on? -[Owen] It's over. I'm done, it's over.
It's over.
[Lawler] JR, what does this mean, "It's over?" Is he quitting?
-[JR] I don't know. -[Lawler] Is he retiring?
[JR] I don't… Can't believe what he's--
-["Burned" playing] -[crowd cheering]
Well, here we go again, ladies and gentlemen.
Certainly, our fans here on USA, and watching on TSN,
have gotta be as shocked as we are
about what Owen Hart has just said… Oh, my!
-["Burned" continues playing] -[crowd cheering]
And this is gonna be a hellacious match-up,
right here, right now.
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall,
with a 20-minute time limit.
Making his way to the ring, he weighs in at 326 pounds,
Kane!
[JR] Kane and The Undertaker
really did the number last Monday night on that man.
And, of course, Mr. McMahon is watching tonight.
[Lawler] Yeah, he's watching. Look at his face, he is seething.
He is looking at the man who is responsible,
along with The Undertaker,
for the fact that Mr. McMahon is in that hospital bed.
[JR] Yeah, but Mr. McMahon blames "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
for all of our beloved owner's problems.
[Lawler] He is the cause of all Mr. McMahon's problems!
I guarantee ya… Oh, watch it.
Over here.
[JR] Will you get up?
-[explosion] -[Lawler shrieks]
[Lawler] And you just watch,
when "Stone Cold "Steve Austin comes out here tonight,
every one of these morons will stand to their feet,
and they'll cheer him like he's some sort of hero.
-Why? Explain that to me, JR. -["The Ultimate" playing]
[JR] I will, as a matter of fact.
[announcer] And his opponent, from Sacramento, California,
weighing in at 243 pounds,
"The World's Most Dangerous Man"
Ken Shamrock!
[JR] Certainly, an interesting transformation,
as far as Shamrock is concerned.
It seems as if Shamrock has fell into some disfavor
with some WWE fans.
But probably not here tonight against Kane.
As a matter of fact, there's a lot of Undertaker fans
that think it was Kane's fault that The Undertaker lost it
in that handicap tag match last Monday night to The Rock.
A lot of Undertaker fans are blaming Kane for The Undertaker going down.
[Lawler] Duh! What do you think?
Huh? Of course!
[JR] I guess you could read that into it,
but I'm not so sure that exactly happened. But in any event…
[Lawler] Well, let's face it, blood's thicker than water.
But WWE gold is thicker than blood.
Both The Undertaker and Kane wanna be the champion worse than anything.
[JR] And they will meet…
Oh, my! Good shot there by Shamrock.
And good strategy.
The Undertaker and Kane will meet at Judgment Day
with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin as the special referee.
And Shamrock here, the 1998 King of the Ring winner.
[Lawler] Well, let me just tell you this, JR,
at Judgment Day, that's when all the pain and suffering
that Mr. McMahon is enduring right now is gonna be worth it.
Because, then, he will get to see "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
suffer the ultimate indignity
of having to count out and crown a new WWE Champion.
[JR] Shamrock using his quickness to avoid…
Oh, good move there.
Shamrock looking for a leg-to-leg takedown. He got it there.
Shamrock looking to work on one of those joints,
the knee or the ankle of this massive Kane.
And every time Shamrock tries… Oh! Look at the power.
Look at the power of The Big Red Machine!
Could he be, will he be, the next WWE Champion?
We'll know in 13 days.
[crowd clamoring]
I find it somewhat ironic that Mr. McMahon orchestrated this huge masterplan
and got a collusionary arrangement,
a business arrangement with Kane and The Undertaker
to make sure Austin didn't leave Breakdown as the WWE Champion.
I find it somewhat ironic that his two business partners,
Kane and The Undertaker,
just 24 hours after that incident, put Mr. McMahon in hospital.
[Lawler] Oh, you think it's ironic, do ya? I don't think it's ironic.
I think it's horrible. And I'll tell you something else that's horrible.
That idiot Mankind, or Mick Foley, whatever you wanna call him,
going into Mr. McMahon's hospital room with a sock on his hand.
-[JR] Oh, my! -[Lawler shrieks]
Shamrock attempted the hurricanrana,
but all that power of Kane in the upper body blocked it easily
and, then, drilled Shamrock with a powerbomb.
[Lawler] If I'd been Mr. McMahon, I would fire Steve Foley or Mick Foley…
-[JR] Mick Foley. -[Lawler] He's got so many identities,
Mankind, I'd fire him.
[JR] Well, folks, here is our 10-10-321 Double Feature.
You heard the power and the impact of that powerbomb from seven feet up.
[JR] Boy, I tell you what, we've seen a lot of brothers have some…
some hellacious battles here in the WWE over the years,
none more intense than The Undertaker and Kane.
We saw them meet at WrestleMania.
We saw them meet at Unforgiven in an Inferno Match.
[Lawler] They were trying to burn each other up!
[JR] And I wanna tell you, in my view,
only JR's opinion, but in my view,
there's nothing really been settled.
No one has proven to be more superior than the other
when The Undertaker and Kane get it on.
We'll find out, though, who is gonna be the man at Judgment Day,
which is just under two weeks away.
[Lawler] And "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is gonna have to crown
either The Undertaker or Kane the new champion.
[JR] There's a cover right there.
Well, I'm sure that Mr. McMahon hopes that The Undertaker and Kane
just beat the holy hell out of each other at Judgment Day.
And you gotta wonder what The Undertaker and-or Kane might wanna do
if they don't like Austin's officiating.
[Lawler] Well, we'll find out in a little bit
when "Stone Cold" Steve Austin comes out here
to, as you say, tell his side of the story.
-[JR] Austin never lost the title. -[Lawler] What do you mean?
He screwed himself out of the title, you know that.
I mean, he could have done it the easy way.
[JR] He got shafted, that's what happened to Austin.
-[Lawler] Austin shafted Austin. -[JR] Also tonight,
Val Venis takes on Gangrel.
We got Road Dogg and DX taking on Mark Henry.
But the big main event still to come…
Wait a minute, there's a cover.
And a near fall.
…will be The Undertaker and The Rock.
You'll see it right here, in its entirety, right here tonight.
And, man, that's gonna be something.
The Rock is as hot as anybody in this business right now.
The Undertaker, he wants to avenge what happened to him last week
at the hands of The Rock in that handicap tag match.
We got a great broadcast still to come right here tonight.
[Lawler] Oh, when The Rock raises the people's eyebrow…
Well, did you see it last week
when he dropped the People's Elbow on The Undertaker?
[JR] Unbelievable.
[Lawler] We'll probably see that again tonight.
[JR] And, then, the Rock Bottom got The Undertaker down for the three.
But, again, a lot of Undertaker fans say Kane should've been there.
Kane should've been up on the apron to get the tag. And, now, the…
Oh, look at that power. That's a seven-footer. 325!
He's got body to body!
-And got a near fall. -[Lawler] You know what you sound like?
"Blame, blame, blame!"
All you hear is excuses these days.
[JR] I'm just reporting what I'm hearing!
[Lawler] Oh, is that right? You know, even Shamrock's making excuses, too.
[JR] In what regard?
[Lawler] What do you mean, "What regard?"
First of all, he's saying the fans are turning on him.
You know, I mean, he's got all kind of excuses. He's like you.
[JR] Well, Ken Shamrock, he's got problems.
He's bringing his own problems on himself. But he can…
He'll be able to handle them himself, too, I'm sure.
[Lawler] I know one other problem, you know there's a full moon tonight, JR?
That's why things are getting strange around here.
[JR] And we're 13 days away. Unlucky 13 for somebody, maybe.
Maybe it's gonna be Shamrock.
Oh, Shamrock got knocked down again.
-Shamrock's trying to use his quickness… -[Lawler] Uh-oh.
[JR] Folks, business is about to pick up here tonight because, there you see it,
look into the eyes of The Phenom,
the older brother of Kane.
[Lawler] What's he doing out here now, JR? Come on.
[JR] That's a great question. I don't know.
[Lawler] You know everything else.
[JR] Undertaker getting a very close look at Shamrock
and, more specifically, perhaps, Kane here.
-Remember, The Undertaker and Kane… -[Lawler] Watch it.
[JR] Oh, good move there by Shamrock.
…will determine the WWE Championship
at the sold-out Judgment Day in the Rosemont Horizon.
[Lawler] I don't think The Undertaker's out here to scout his own brother, do you?
-[JR] No, I do not. -[Lawler] Right.
[JR] He knows him quite well.
Shamrock avoiding the contact there.
Shamrock, somehow, someway, has gotta destroy the vertical base
of this seven-footer, and get Kane down on the canvas.
[Lawler] Yeah, well, The World's Most Dangerous Man
is becoming less and less dangerous
now that The Undertaker's out here.
[JR] Shamrock's got a great competitive spirit, as we have said.
[Lawler] Whoa!
[JR] There's a hurricanrana! That got Kane down!
-[crowd cheering] -Oh, and Kane sitting right back up.
-Kane beat Shamrock to his feet. -[Lawler] Whoa!
[JR] Shamrock trying to go for the armbar.
That was just taken away from him with nothing but power.
And, then, Shamrock almost knocked out of his boots
with a thunderous clothesline.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[JR] Kane going up on top.
And The Undertaker, up on the apron. What's going on here?
Kane in a precarious spot here. He's looking for some high risk.
-And… -[Lawler] Oh, no!
[JR] The Undertaker grabbed that top rope, I think.
Kane just straddled the turnbuckle.
And I don't care who you are.
[Lawler] What's The Undertaker doing now? Is he gonna stay here or what? Oh!
[JR] Undertaker's not helping Kane!
Shamrock with a superflex!
-[bell rings] -And Shamrock wins!
Ken Shamrock has just beaten Kane!
[Lawler] Oh, wait a minute. This is a huge upset.
But I'm gonna tell you something, that was intentional!
I think The Undertaker intentionally shook that rope
and purposely caused his brother to fall.
[JR] Well, I don't know if I can argue that point or not.
That certainly is a possibility.
In any event, The Undertaker has just cost his brother,
on purpose or inadvertently, a match here.
A loss on the record of Kane inflicted by Ken Shamrock.
[Lawler] Uh-oh.
Look at Kane!
["The Ultimate" playing]
[JR] Well, I'll tell you one thing, we got a lot…
We maybe haven't seen the last of Kane here tonight, folks.
Up next, this is controversial, no doubt about it.
Val Venis will take on the newcomer, Gangrel.
[sniffing]
Oh, honey.
I've found your wedding ring. [laughs]
The kitty cat was playing with it. [laughs]
-[Lawler] Val is my hero! -[growls]
[JR] Well, folks, still to come tonight, this arena will erupt
when "Stone Cold" Steve Austin comes out here.
He'll be uncensored. He's gonna tell his side of the story
on how he got shafted out of the WWE Title at Breakdown.
I ain't through with you, bitch!
I ain't through with you, not yet by a long shot.
[man] It's all right, Vince, he's gone.
[JR] Well, folks, Austin's coming.
Could come at any time. We'll be right back.
Hello, ladies.
[JR] Well, we are back, ladies and gentlemen,
here in the War Zone.
Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler here at ringside.
And that is a very controversial couple, to say the least,
Val Venis and Terri Runnels.
She is still the wife of Dustin Runnels, King.
-[Lawler] Yeah. -["Hello Ladies" playing]
-[JR] Are you mesmerized again? -[Lawler] Well…
I'm having one of those out-of-body experiences right now.
[announcer] Val Venis!
[JR] Folks, let us remind you very quickly here
that the World Wrestling Entertainment is gonna be live
in State College, Pennsylvania this Thursday,
in The Igloo in Pittsburgh this Friday night…
Boy, that's gonna be big.
…the Gund Arena in Cleveland, The King's favorite city, Saturday night.
This Sunday, Hersheypark Arena in Hershey, PA.
[Lawler] Whoa. I know why you're stumbling over your words, JR.
I'd stumble too. Look at this.
If sex were fast food, they'd have arches over their head right now. Look at this.
[JR] And, of course, one week from tonight,
we're gonna be in Uniondale, Long Island, live,
-for Raw is War. -[Lawler] Listen up.
Hello, ladies.
-[Lawler chuckles] I love that part. -[crowd cheering]
So, Michigan State was home
to the legendary Magic Johnson.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Glad he found Terri's wedding ring.
Well, tonight, with The Big Valbowski in town,
it's home to the real Magic Johnson.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler laughing]
-[JR] What's he mean by that? -[Lawler] Oh, come on, JR. [laughs]
["Blood" playing]
[JR] Boy, this rascal is weird, let me tell you, folks.
And there you see Christian,
the younger brother of Edge, as we mentioned earlier in the broadcast.
And what is the relationship between Gangrel, on your right,
and Christian?
A lot more to this story than meets the eye, King.
[Lawler] Something's up. These guys are even dressed alike, JR.
[JR] Folks, don't forget that, right here tonight, we expect some…
the roof to explode off this arena here in Michigan State
when Stone Cold joins us.
But, also, remember that The Undertaker and The Rock are gonna get it on.
They're gonna go one-on-one here tonight.
And we're gonna hang with it as long as it takes.
[Lawler] Boy, look at that, JR.
[JR] That… That ain't Tupperware.
[Lawler] Ugh!
[JR] King, I think we need to read up on gothic lifestyles.
Maybe we could understand Edge… Or, excuse me…
Well, we might understand Edge, too. But we certainly could understand
Gangrel, and maybe Christian, a little bit better.
Gangrel, side headlock on Val Venis.
And a good shoulder block by Gangrel.
I'll tell you one thing, when The Undertaker and The Rock
go nose-to-nose right here in this ring that sits in front of us, King,
it is going to be an epic battle, there's no doubt about it.
Spinebuster.
The Rock has been red hot, there's no doubt about it.
The Undertaker, almost in a must-win situation.
He's got 13 days to get ready for Judgment Day
when he takes on his own brother Kane for the WWE Title.
So, tonight is a huge match-up in our third of three big old main events.
[Lawler] Well, don't forget that, at Judgment Day,
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin's gonna be the referee.
And I can't help it if I'm a little bit distracted,
but Terri Runnels is standing right in front of me.
[JR] Well, I'll tell you one thing, these young athletes
here in the World Wrestling Entertainment in a high stakes match-up… Yeah.
-Little tramp… Oh, no. Don't say that. -[Lawler] What?
[JR] I meant to say "Terri."
-Terri with that… -[crowd cheering]
Great competition in the ring.
We'll focus in the ring for a while, on these young Superstars.
No 45-year-old dueling microphones here.
You're seeing athletic competition.
And these youngsters, yes, they'll make mistakes,
but that's one of the exciting things about watching their careers develop here.
Double arm suplex. There's the cover.
And Val Venis gets that right shoulder off the canvas.
You know, I'd love to know what brought Gangrel and Christopher together.
And there is a cradle.
And a near fall.
-[Lawler] You mean Christian? -[JR] Christian, I mean.
[Lawler] Oh, man! Did you hear that?
[JR] Shot, right in the face. And there you see Christian,
the younger brother of Edge,
as we found out just before we went on the air.
High back body drop. Great elevation there.
[Lawler] I think Val Venis may be a little distracted by Terri Runnels also.
[JR] And we hope to find out, King, what those…
-Chyna got served papers here. -[Lawler] Hey, hey.
-[crowd clamoring] -[JR] What's going on?
-Well, there's Edge. -[Lawler] Uh-oh.
-[JR] There's Edge right over the railing. -[Lawler] He's coming back.
[JR] He's coming to confront his brother.
What are you doing with him?
[JR] He says, "What are you doing with him?" I think that's what…
-Oh, what a baseball slide through. -[Lawler] Oh, man!
[JR] Gangrel! DDT on the floor!
-Gangrel attacking Edge! -[crowd clamoring]
Edge was interrogating, for the lack of a better term,
-his little brother. And now, look-- -[bell ringing]
Gangrel and Christopher stomping away at Edge.
This match has ended.
[Lawler] Well, we've been talking about brother against brother all night.
There's another example of it right there.
What is going on here, JR?
[JR] Well, I'd say this is a huge mystery.
[announcer] The winner of this match, as the result of a countout,
-Val Venis! -["Hello Ladies" playing]
[JR] Well, Val Venis keeps his sparkling won-loss record intact here.
[Lawler] And to the winner go the spoils.
[JR] I'm sure that's one way of describing that young lady.
[Lawler] Yeah, look at those spoils.
-[JR] This is… Oh! -[Lawler] Watch it, watch it.
[JR] They're just… These two are revolting.
I mean, you know, go get a room or something.
[Lawler] Oh, come on, are you embarrassed by this, JR?
[JR] But she's a married woman, for God's sake.
-[Lawler] Who's this now? -[JR] Haven't seen that guy before.
-Remember the movie usher? -[Lawler] Hey, that movie usher guy, yeah.
["Hello Ladies" continues playing]
[JR] He's got a gold envelope.
[Lawler] I think he's ushered for a lot of Val's movies.
[JR] I don't know about that.
Well, Val and, perhaps, Terri have got a little special delivery here.
Oh, I don't know what Val just read, but seems to be shocking to him.
-["Gold-Lust" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Uh-oh!
That explains the gold stationery.
Look at Terri Runnels tearing it to pieces.
[Goldust] Hey, Val.
That there, that you're reading…
that is your personal invitation
to my world premiere
next week on Raw.
[JR] Did you hear that? Goldust returns next week
live here on Raw.
And can you imagine what could happen if he gets his hands on Val Venis?
What if he gets his hands on his own wife?
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh! Terri Runnels, I'd make myself scarce.
Goldust world premiere next week on Raw!
[JR] Goldust is coming back!
Goldust makes a world premiere next week live here on Raw!
And, folks, well, last night, it was a traumatic night, obviously,
for our beloved owner.
Look at Austin. He's risking electrocution to cut that cable.
[Lawler] That could've shocked Mr. McMahon, too.
-[JR] Oh, it could not! -["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing]
-[Lawler] Uh-oh! -[crowd cheering]
[JR] Well, I'll tell you one thing, Austin continued to shock people,
including Mr. McMahon's son, Shane,
who was broadcasting at ringside, WWE Sunday Night Heat.
-[Lawler] Right. -[JR] Now, Shane has said
that this whole issue is between Vince McMahon and Stone Cold.
[crowd chanting] Austin! Austin!
Don't expect you can run from me, son, because if I wanted to catch your ass,
you damn well know I can!
This is a personal issue between you and Dad.
[JR] As you hear Shane saying, "It's a personal issue between
my dad and you, and I don't wanna be personally involved."
[Lawler] Can you imagine "Stone Cold" Steve Austin threatening that young man?
That's a disgrace right there.
Matter of fact, he oughta be locked up.
[JR] Well, then, Austin would then show us what officiating 3:16 means.
Austin interjecting himself as an official.
And is this how he's going to officiate at Judgment Day?
[Lawler] Surely not! You don't think, do you?
[JR] Austin kicking backside and taking names.
A Stunner for Dennis Knight. And, then, a Stunner for Jeff Jarrett.
And, then, Austin certainly smelled what The Rock was cooking.
Folks, we're gonna get that man's side of the story right here tonight.
Don't you dare go away!
Easy, easy, easy. God!
-Just easy. -Does that hurt?
Could I have another nurse, please?
-I just want another nurse, all right? -I can do that.
-Don't touch me. I just want-- -I'll try.
I want another damn nurse!
[nurse] We'll see what we can do about that, all right?
And bring me something for the pain.
[monitor beeping]
♪ What does everybody want? ♪
[crowd cheering]
-[JR] Go ahead, King. -[Lawler] I just gotta tell ya,
that is sad right there. Poor Mr. McMahon in pain.
What happened to that private nurse he ordered, anyway?
[JR] I don't know. What kind of nurse you think he needs?
[Lawler] Well, I think… How about the head nurse?
-["What Does Everybody Want?" playing] -[crowd cheering]
Somebody call the head nurse for Mr. McMahon.
-[crowd cheering] -[JR] He's grumpy as a bishop, isn't he?
[JR] Good grief!
[Lawler] What does everybody want? The head nurse for Mr. McMahon.
[JR] Al Snow, ladies and gentlemen,
got reinstated here in the World Wrestling Entertainment
when he upset Commissioner Slaughter
in Slaughter's specialty, the Bootcamp Match,
just a couple of weeks ago right here on Raw.
[cheering continues]
[Lawler] Look at Al with Head.
Look at these idiots cheer. They're going nuts for this guy!
And the head.
[JR] There ain't no meat in that sandwich, let me tell you. Al is a…
Folks, let me tell you this,
WWE Judgment Day is proudly presented by 10-10-321.
It's only two weeks away from the sold-out Rosemont Horizon in Chicago.
10-10-321. Just dial it and save up to 50%.
["Urban Cowboy" playing]
Well, here comes your buddy from the great state of Tennessee.
[Lawler] Right, I can agree with that.
[JR] Look at poor ol' Al, bless his heart.
[Lawler] But look at the head.
[JR] Well, folks, let us remind you that,
when you get the opportunity to join us for Raw is War, it is an extravaganza,
it is a happening, it is a lifetime experience.
And two weeks today, we're gonna be in the Bradley Center in Milwaukee.
Tickets are going fast there.
On Tuesday October 20th, Raw is War in Madison, Wisconsin.
That's gonna be a huge night.
Not to mention Sunday Night Heat, live in the Frank Erwin Center
on Sunday, November the 1st, in Austin, Texas.
Plus, Raw coming to Houston,
Raw coming to Dallas in early November, as well.
And, certainly, a non-televised event, noteworthy, as always,
because it's the world's most famous arena,
it is Madison Square Garden,
and it is on Sunday night, October 25th. It will be an epic.
Side headlock takeover by Al Snow.
King, I know you're not gonna agree with this,
but Al Snow is an excellent mat tactician.
He's an excellent… A sound, sound competitor.
-[Lawler] Yeah, I agree with that. -[JR] You do?
[Lawler] Yeah, it's just that, to borrow one of your expressions,
"He's crazy as a bedbug! He's a loon!"
-[JR] Well you know, some-- -[Lawler] Look, look at this.
[JR] He just told The Head that what he was told isn't working.
[Lawler] Right, and he got hit in the head because he's listening to The Head.
[JR] My daddy would say, "Al Snow's as goofy as a pet coon."
-[Lawler] Huh? -[JR] Get that back to you later.
[JR] Nice hip lock takeover by Al.
Well, Al has traveled a long and winding road.
I think that was in a song, Somewhere Down the Road.
But to get to the WWE and earn some respect…
Both arms hooked there.
Well, that's one way of using his head.
Literally!
[Lawler] Well, yeah. He's made his way back here to the WWE.
I wish he'd have gotten sidetracked on that long and winding road.
I still can't believe that he beat Commissioner Slaughter
in that Boot Camp Match.
[JR] Well, that was an upset. Oh, look out here!
-[Lawler] Watch it! -[JR] Double J right in front of us,
and here comes Al Snow.
-It's gonna get nasty here. -[Lawler] I can't believe it.
Look at Jeff right over here.
-Watch it! -[JR] Uh-oh, Al Snow's got a chair!
[Lawler] Watch it, Jeff!
[JR] Right hand by Jeff Jarrett, just knocking the taste out of…
Oh, what… Look at the chairman.
-Our commissioner. -[Lawler] Hey, that's the commissioner.
[JR] He should be impeached.
[Lawler] What?
[JR] There's no telling what kind of stains are on his jacket.
I don't care.
[Lawler] You mean to say, you don't care what the commissioner's saying?
[JR] Why… Good Lord, no. Look at this.
-Al's gonna take a chance here. -[Lawler shrieks]
[JR] And using the chair for a little bit more leverage, more elevation.
Al Snow delivered a very unorthodox move there to Jeff Jarrett.
[Lawler] Hey, watch it. What's Al Snow doing?
[JR] Oh, my God. He's…
[Lawler] He's gonna sneak up on the commissioner!
[JR] He's low-crawling toward the chairman.
What a profile of our beloved commissioner.
Jeff… Wait a minute!
-[JR] Hey, Al! Look out! Look out! -[Lawler] Oh, yeah!
-[Lawler cackles] -[JR] God, right in the back of the head!
[Lawler] That's great.
[JR] Jeff Jarrett with a vile chair shot,
-[Lawler] Hit that other head, too! -[JR] Right to the back of the head.
Look at the maggot now, Sarge.
[Lawler] He's a maggot!
[JR] You know, you gotta feel for poor ol' Al.
He's just trying to make a living and trying to earn a bit of respect.
That's all he's wanting to do here.
[Lawler] Yeah, feel that, Al.
[JR] Look at Slaughter.
Slaughter still a little bit embarrassed that he lost in his own match,
to a guy that Slaughter, no doubt, thought would be a cakewalk.
It wasn't.
And it ain't gonna be pretty when The Undertaker and The Rock
go one-on-one here tonight.
Man, I cannot wait for that match-up.
It can't get here too quick for me.
[JR] The Undertaker and The Rock in this ring here tonight.
[Lawler] What about old Cold Stone doing his thing later on here tonight?
I still… I know when he walks out here, these people are gonna go nuts.
I want you, still, to explain to me why.
What do they see in him?
[JR] Maybe they can identify with the challenges that he's had.
Maybe they admire his work ethic.
Maybe they admire his desire, his competitive spirit.
[Lawler] Well, these people will be so loud that poor, traumatized Mr. McMahon
probably won't even be able to hear what Stone Cold says.
[JR] Oh! Enzuigiri by Al Snow!
[Lawler] He barely caught him. Come on, Jeff. You're okay.
[JR] Al Snow, now, trying to build a little bit of momentum here.
This will be a big-time victory for Al Snow,
-over a resurging Jeff Jarrett. -[Lawler] Oh, yeah!
[JR] Jarrett, new haircut, new ring attire,
-new attitude. -[Lawler] Oh, look at this!
-[JR] And Al… -[Lawler exclaims]
[JR] Al looking for that shot for that wooden head.
[Lawler] Great!
[JR] Oh, look out.
[JR] Al Snow with a scoop slam on Jeff Jarrett.
And, now, Jarrett finds himself in a rather precarious situation here.
[Lawler] Referee, do your job!
What are you gonna let him do with that head?
[JR] What's the commissioner doing up on the apron?
-We've seen-- Oh! -[Lawler] Yes! [cackles]
[JR] Well, we've seen this earlier tonight from The Undertaker.
-[bell ringing] -[Doan] Winner, Al Snow!
[JR] And referee Jack Doan…
-[JR] I think… -[crowd clamoring]
[announcer] The winner of this match as result of a disqualification,
Al Snow!
[Lawler] He disqualified the commissioner!
[JR] Well, I'll tell you what, that takes some guts by referee Jack Doan.
[Lawler] It takes no brains. He'll be fired!
["What Does Everybody Want?" playing]
[JR] Head got a little bounced around there.
[JR] So did Al Snow with that chair shot to the back of his head,
scrambled his marbles.
[Lawler] Well, The commissioner got a little revenge for that Boot Camp Match.
[JR] Well, in any event, Al Snow gets a victory in the record book.
[Lawler] Well, if he's the winner, I'd rather be the loser.
But poor Head.
[JR] Still to come right here tonight, oh, what a main event.
The Rock will go one-on-one with "The Phenom" The Undertaker.
[Lawler] Yeah, but up next,
the Road Dogg, minus his co-champ, "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn,
is heading into battle against Mark Henry.
[JR] Oh, this will be something special.
Road Dogg and Mark Henry, next.
["Oh, You Didn't Know?" playing]
-[Road Dogg] Oh, you didn't know? -[crowd cheering]
Your ass better call somebody!
[Lawler] Hey, JR, I got something to show you here in a minute.
Remember that piece of paper that Chyna was served
-that she threw to the side? -[JR] Yeah.
-[Lawler] Let me see what it is. -Tonight,
the part of "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn
will be played by my good friend, Moana.
-Or Mrs. Ass. -[Lawler] Uh-oh.
["Oh, You Didn't Know?" continues playing]
See Billy? He looks good, doesn't he?
-[Lawler] Did he say "Mrs. Ass"? -Cut it!
[JR] That's what he said.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages,
D-Generation X proudly brings to you
its WWE Tag Team Champions of the world,
"The Road Dogg" Jesse James,
-The Badd Ass… -[crowd] Billy Gunn!
-The New Age Outlaws! -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] I don't know if he's trying to really patch things up
between he and Billy Gunn. He's wearing both belts.
He's got that inflatable doll out here dressed like Billy Gunn.
[JR] Yeah, but he is a fun-loving son of a gun, is The Road Dogg,
-let me tell you that. -[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall,
with a 20-minute time limit.
Making his way to the ring,
being accompanied by the European Champion, D-Lo Brown…
[JR] Mark Henry and the new European Champion, D-Lo Brown,
on their way out here to get it on.
[crowd clamoring]
King, what do you got?
Tell us now, will you?
I'll just tell you this, JR, from the looks of this little document,
there's a lot of whereas-es and therefores and plaintiffs and defendants,
but it looks like the bottom line is,
Mark Henry is suing Chyna
for sexual harassment!
That is unbelievable.
Look, there is it, black and white.
Mark Henry is suing Chyna
for sexual harassment,
and she has been served.
[JR] Boy, I'll tell you one thing, people are lawsuit-crazy in this society.
-[Lawler] Tell me about it. -[JR] Can you…
Can you imagine, Mark Henry suing Chyna for sexual harassment.
Please!
That's ridiculous. It's ludicrous!
Well, folks, if you just joined us,
X-Pac lost the European Title, thanks to Mark Henry,
earlier tonight to D-Lo Brown.
So D-Lo, once again, the European Champion.
[Lawler] They're going crazy over in Lisbon right now.
[JR] I'm sure they're going crazy up in Canada.
Our fans watching us tonight on TSN,
soon to be in Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal for live WWE events.
And we're still somewhat perplexed regarding Owen Hart's remarks earlier.
[Lawler] Perplexed? He's gone soft. He wussed out.
[JR] He said he was through. Does that mean he's retiring?
He's quitting? He's taking a sabbatical or what?
[Lawler] It means he's another Canadian hero, I guess.
[JR] Rapid right hands of The Road Dogg.
-[Lawler] Whoa, bam! -[JR] Going airborne there,
taking The World's Strongest Man off his feet.
Juke and jive, baby.
Drop that knee right into that huge sternum.
[Lawler] Oh, man.
That's The World's Strongest Man for you right there, JR.
[JR] I'll tell you one thing, Mr. Dogg is looking good here tonight.
He will fight you at the drop of a hat.
His whole family is that way. They were raised that way.
And this former marine is tough.
But that will take the toughness right out of you.
[Lawler] Well, I gotta give him credit. Mr. Dogg as well as Mr. Ass,
are very good individually, as well as collectively.
[JR] And so is that kid right there, X-Pac.
Man, he is a shining star.
But D-Lo's got the gold.
There'll be another day somewhere down the road
-for X-Pac and D-Lo Brown. -[Lawler] You know what I'm thinking,
somewhere down the road, JR, me and you may be called as witnesses.
-[JR] What do you mean? -[Lawler] In this sexual harassment suit
that Mark Henry's filed against Chyna.
I mean, we were… We saw her stick…
Remember when she struck her posterior right in his face
-and asked him to kiss it? -[JR] Oh!
Yeah, I remember that. I don't…
Would you call that sexual harassment?
[Lawler] We'll probably be deposed, we'd be deponents.
[JR] Are you an expert witness in that area?
[Lawler] I got a lawyer for it. He's real expensive.
You're basically innocent until proven broke.
[JR] I tell you what, right now, the back of the Road Dogg may be near breaking
at the power of "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry.
1996 super heavyweight powerlifter for the Americans in the Olympics.
I'll get it all out here in a minute,
[Lawler] And I hope they don't keep us on the witness stand
as long as they did Clinton.
Four hours.
Will we have to go in front of a grand jury on this thing?
[JR] Well, I hope not.
-[Lawler] Sexual harassment… -[JR] Oh, man, that's power.
[Lawler] …same thing they got Clinton for.
[JR] Uncanny power by Mark Henry.
And unless you could quicken the pace on this big monster,
and-or get him off his feet,
you let him stay vertical and just deliver the blows,
he's gonna beat anybody he gets in the ring with.
Oh! Look at Road Dogg fight back.
[Lawler] You know, we can forget about Clinton and Monica now.
The big news is gonna be Mark Henry and Chyna.
[JR] Oh, look at…
D-Lo with a trip on the outside, and that may be all it takes.
X-Pac coming around the bend here.
X-Pac has his sights set on D-Lo.
-Oh, wait a minute. -[Lawler] Watch it, X- Pac.
-[JR] Oh, look who's gonna join us. -[crowd cheering]
-The Ninth Wonder of the World! -[Lawler] Look out!
-[JR] Boom, right hand! -[Lawler] Man!
[JR] Chyna just knocked down the new European Champion.
[Lawler] Did you hear that shot, JR?
-[JR] Boy, she nailed-- -[Lawler] What's she saying? Listen.
-Is it sexual? -[JR] Look at X-Pac.
Oh, stop it. X-Pac in the ring.
-[Lawler] She's certainly harassing-- -[JR] X-Pac…
-[Lawler] Look out! -[JR] X-Pac using Mark Henry's own mass
-to drive him face-first. -[Lawler] Cheaters! Cheaters!
[JR] Road Dogg with a cover.
Can he hold him long enough?
Yes, he can!
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh, that will be another lawsuit.
[JR] The Road Dogg has just defeated The World's Strongest Man!
And, yes, he had a little help from his friends.
["Oh, You Didn't Know?" playing]
[Lawler] Oh, you're gonna pay for this, Chyna.
[JR] Well, she's already in legal hot water,
-according to what we read there. -[crowd cheering]
Boy, Mark Henry is… He is not happy.
[Lawler] Look at Road Dogg.
Victory for himself, and… Is that his partner there, right?
[JR] You mean Moana?
-[Lawler] Mrs. Ass. -[JR] I don't know about that.
Oh, Mark Henry is…
He is hot. Uh-oh. Look out here.
[Lawler] Uh-oh. What's he doing?
[JR] A 400-pound man with a steel chair is not a good combination.
[Lawler] He's gonna serve something other than papers right now!
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Chyna, big-time right hand. The referee's back was turned.
X-Pac snuck in the ring. He drilled Mark Henry.
[Lawler] And Road Dogg gets the win!
Unbelievable.
[JR] More controversy surrounding Mark Henry and Chyna.
But still to come right here tonight, The Undertaker and The Rock.
They will get it on! Who will survive tonight?
And The Rock is getting ready. The game face is on.
[Lawler] Ready to raise the people's eyebrow.
-Oh, he needs a nurse. -[crowd jeering]
[JR] Austin's gonna try to talk to Mr. McMahon. Listen.
Nurse, how about some more juice, please?
[Lawler] More juice! Make it fresh-squeezed! Not grape juice!
[JR] We're back on the War Zone. Thanks for being with us here tonight.
And we're gonna go to Mr. McMahon here momentarily
to get some comments from the owner of the WWE.
But it doesn't look like we're quite ready for that statement.
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh, he's having his blood pressure checked.
[JR] Well, folks, while that's being taken care of,
let's take you back to last week here in the War Zone.
Who will ever, ever forget "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
commandeering the Zamboni, and then destroying property,
destroying production equipment and lights.
He cut our audio cable.
[Lawler] I'm telling you, not only that, he risked people's lives.
Look at this moronic idiot!
Have you ever seen such a thing in your life, JR?
The Zamboni rammed into the ring!
And, then, watch him. Look at this!
[JR] Austin was not intimidated by the security, by the police.
He leaped over their heads and got right in Vince McMahon's face.
It was Austin who would repay Vince McMahon
for getting screwed out of the WWE Title.
[Lawler] Don't ever say that. Austin screwed Austin!
But, finally, the police did their job.
And, yeah! Yeah! Do not pass! Go directly to jail, Steve Austin!
I ain't through with you, Vince.
I ain't through with you, not yet, by a long shot.
[Lawler] Yeah, but you got locked up!
[JR] Austin was incarcerated for the evening,
but bailed himself out
on his own recognizance later in the night.
But Mr. McMahon,
who was warned by The Undertaker and Kane to mind his decorum, was caught.
Mr. McMahon was caught,
and he paid one hell of a price at the hands of The Undertaker and Kane.
[Lawler] Yeah, the two ingrates McMahon has hired to be his bodyguards,
look what they wound up doing to him. I can't watch this, JR.
This is worse than my friend, Joe Theismann and LT…
Oh, look at this!
-Oh! -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] His leg is mangled.
I mean, it's… Oh, compound fractures.
[JR] Mr. McMahon's lower leg, completely shattered
at the hands of The Phenom and The Big Red Machine.
And maybe we're ready now for that interview.
[Lawler] Oh, he's still in a lot of pain.
Is that the head nurse?
[JR] Vince, can you hear us?
You need to take this thing out.
-[JR] Guess not. -[nurse] Just a couple more seconds.
-[JR] We're on ignore. -[monitor beeping]
Last time, it was normal.
-You're gonna find it's normal this time. -[nurse] We'll see.
Every time you've taken it, you've found that it's normal.
Every single time.
[nurse] Mr. McMahon, it'll be all right.
We're almost done.
I can't wait to get out of here.
[buzzer rings]
-[nurse] There. -Is it normal?
[nurse] Yes, it looks real good. Looks real good.
Looks just fine to me. How about you, Doctor?
Oh, I'll take it from here, Nurse.
-No, no, no, no, no! -[nurse screams]
[indistinct yelling]
Get him off me! Get him off me!
[grunting]
-Take your stupid support system off, huh? -[grunting]
-How about your foot? How about your foot? -[screaming]
You like that, huh?
What do you think about that, huh?
[metal clangs]
You wanted Dr. Austin.
Get up, you piece of trash!
-Get up! -[monitor beeping]
Get up, you piece of…
[yelling]
Calling Dr. Austin. We got an emergency, yeah?
-No! No! -Everybody clear!
-[electricity buzzing] -[screams]
Shut up! Shut up!
-[screaming] -Get up! Get up, Vince!
[Vince] Oh, no!
No, please, no! No!
[muffled yelling]
I've always known you were full of [bleep] Vince.
We'll just find out how full of [bleep] you really are.
Help! Help me, please!
This is gonna hurt you a lot more than it's gonna hurt me!
[Vince screaming]
-[Stone Cold] You piece of trash! -[Vince yelling]
[JR] We are back on the War Zone.
I cannot, absolutely cannot believe what we have just seen.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin was supposed to be here in the arena, King.
[Lawler] He was supposed to be here. But no, he was attacking Mr. McMahon!
Oh, look at this! He's beating, pounding Mr. McMahon's foot!
Oh, this is the most horrendous…
Oh. Look at… A bed pan to his head!
JR, this is the most awful thing I've ever seen in my life.
Look at Mr. McMahon's underwear showing. How embarrassing is that?
[JR] Austin just stomping away at the owner of this company,
right in his own… his own medical center.
[Lawler] Oh, no, no! Not the paddles!
This is just awful!
Where was some help? Look at his underwear!
[yelling]
-[JR] Stone Cold-- -[Lawler] Where was security?
[JR] This… Absolutely amazing. I cannot believe this.
-["Do You Smell?" playing] -[JR] Oh, my gosh.
[Lawler] And, then, the…
-That enema bag. -[crowd cheering]
[JR] Yeah, looked like a king-sized apparatus.
[Lawler] And Stone Cold said,
"This is gonna hurt you more than it does me."
I can't… Is he locked up now?
[JR] I don't know. We haven't got word back from the…
from the medical facility.
-["Do You Smell?" continues playing] -[crowd cheering]
[JR] You know, we expected Austin to be here
to tell his side of the story for the first time. Right here.
[Lawler] You saw his side of the story right there.
He is the most low-down, treacherous individual
-I have ever seen in my life! -[crowd cheering]
[JR] Well, as they say, King, a picture's worth a thousand words.
[Lawler] There is nothing that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
won't do or won't stoop to.
[JR] And he'll be the special referee, 13 days from now, on pay-per-view,
when The Undertaker and Kane fight, when they collide for the WWE Title.
-["Rest in Peace" playing] -[crowd cheering]
-[explosion] -[Lawler] Oh!
[JR] Well, here we go, folks.
If you want your business to pick up,
then this is the place to be, right here, right now.
And look at the… The Undertaker not taking his time.
He's walking directly, right to the squared circle.
-[announcer] …The Undertaker! -[crowd cheering]
[JR] As we said earlier, a lot of Undertaker fans are blaming Kane
for The Undertaker losing the pinfall to The Rock last Monday night
in that handicap tag team match-up.
[Lawler] And you can blame The Undertaker for Kane's loss tonight.
Tit for tat.
[JR] Well, this will be the second time we have seen The Undertaker here tonight.
-And look at that face. -[Lawler] Whoa.
[JR] Will he be the next WWE Champion?
What will he do to his own flesh and blood to accomplish that goal?
[JR] I tell you what, that blue chipper, The Rock, ain't gonna be intimidated.
Oh, this is gonna be something here.
-The Undertaker starting out… -[Lawler] Oh, man!
[JR] …with a vile look in his eye.
[Lawler] What a shot. Look at this!
[JR] Well, this is not going to be a scientific classic,
to say the least here.
Undertaker can manhandle just about anybody
that he steps in the ring with.
Almost seven feet tall, 325.
He is a man's man, is The Undertaker.
And The Rock, who is as good as you could ever be,
with only two years' experience in this business.
And The Rock's rise to superstardom here in the WWE
is nothing short of extraordinary.
[Lawler] Well, I'll tell you what was nothing short of horrible, that attack.
Do we have any word yet on Mr. McMahon?
[JR] Boy, you worry so much about Mr. McMahon.
Do you ever think, maybe, he brings his problems on himself?
[Lawler] No, The Undertaker right there, he's the cause of these problems.
Him, Kane, and, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[JR] I guarantee you, if you could get Mr. McMahon
to put a sentence together right now, he'd tell you this.
He'd say that it's all Stone Cold's fault.
-[Lawler] Right! -[JR] Everything's been Austin's fault.
Every single thing that's happened badly to Mr. McMahon
is The Rattlesnake's fault.
[Lawler] You're right, Austin screwed Austin.
But I can guarantee you this,
Austin has not heard the last of Mr. McMahon.
[JR] Here we go. We got a cover here. This could be all.
And The Rock kicks out.
Well, The Undertaker showed great agility,
leaving his sweet feet delivering that clothesline.
[crowd jeering]
[JR] Rocky knocked down again.
Well, that's what the fans… I couldn't see exactly.
It was Mark Henry and D-Lo Brown,
fellow Nation members with The Rock.
[Lawler] We've seen enough of those guys already tonight.
[JR] Everybody's got their own agenda. The Rock's got his problems here.
And… Oh, good, hard shot by The Rock. Undertaker…
Boy, there's the evil eye on Mark Henry and D-Lo Brown.
[Lawler] Well, you know, The Nation may just…
May reunite here tonight.
[JR] Mark Henry having papers served on Chyna for sexual harassment.
-That's ludicrous! -[crowd clamoring]
[JR] And Mark Henry helping… Oh, look out here.
[Lawler] Watch it!
[JR] The Rock reverses The Undertaker right into the steel steps.
[Mark Henry] Do your thing, boy!
Get up in there, Rock!
[Lawler] Well, they're certainly encouraging…
D-Lo and Mark Henry certainly encouraging The Rock.
[JR] Well, The Rock, the leader of The Nation,
and his minions out here, so to speak.
There's the quick reversal,
and the impact was just… was haunting there,
as The Undertaker collided and exploded into those steps.
And, now, The Rock… Uh-oh, wait a minute.
-[Lawler] Look back there! -[JR] It's Kane!
-[JR] Here comes Kane! -[crowd clamoring]
[JR] We saw Kane and Ken Shamrock earlier tonight.
And, yes, it's certainly an arguable point that The Undertaker cost Kane the match
-against Shamrock. -[Lawler] Watch yourself, Rock.
Neither one of these guys can be trusted.
-Watch your back! -[crowd clamoring]
-Watch your back! -[JR] Look out here.
-[Lawler] Ah! Told you! -[JR] Well, the distraction by Kane…
[crowd cheering]
…proving… Oh, man, what a powerslam.
What a powerslam! And…
-[Lawler] Where are they going? -[JR] Mark Henry and D-Lo…
[Lawler] D-Lo is probably going back to Europe right now.
I don't blame him.
[JR] Well, Kane, I think just intimidated those two men away.
And there's a cover.
-[Lawler] Whoa. -[JR] And The Rock got a left shoulder up.
And I mean, it was barely off the canvas
as referee Earl Hebner was coming down for three.
[Lawler] And look, there goes Mark Henry and D-Lo back to the curtain.
So much for the reunification of the Nation, huh?
[Lawler] You're on your own, Rock.
[JR] I'm not so sure that The Rock wouldn't like it this way anyway.
-One-on-one, and who is the better man? -[crowd chanting] Rocky! Rocky!
I mean, for…
Whether you like Rock's philosophy or not, that's everybody's own prerogative,
but you can't deny he's not an amazing competitor.
[Lawler] You know, it's not exactly one-on-one.
I guess you're not seeing that big, tall guy there in red, huh?
[JR] But I'm not sure the big, tall guy in red,
-Kane, you're referring to… -[Lawler] Yeah.
[JR] …is here to…
not do some harm to his brother.
[Lawler] Oh, I'm telling you, exactly why he's here.
He's here to stir this up.
I mean, you know, they both want the WWE gold.
Look at this now.
Patented Undertaker.
[crowd clamoring]
[JR] Unbelievable agility for a man almost seven feet tall.
And The Rock, now. being really challenged here.
There's a cover.
Referee down, and another near fall.
-But The Rock will not give up. -[Lawler] Now, I'm a little confused.
You saw The Undertaker standing on that top rope,
just kind of lingering there,
and if Kane was gonna do something, he had his shot there, and he did nothing.
[JR] Well, you gotta wonder what Mr. McMahon is gonna do
to retaliate against "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
Certainly, Kane and The Undertaker are on Mr. McMahon's bad list, as well.
[Lawler] I can't believe his underwear showed.
[JR] And that's some… Oh.
Not quite Fruit of the Looms, huh? I'd expected something else.
But in any event,
The Undertaker down and Kane down.
And look at the… Well, The Undertaker and Rock.
-The Rock floats over. -[Lawler] He's got him! He's got him!
[JR] And… No!
[JR] Another near fall.
Boy, that Rock's got some guts.
He is a blue chipper personified, is this kid.
26 years of age. He's a pup.
[Lawler] Look at Kane just standing there, looming.
Uh-oh. Here we go.
[JR] And we think Kane is in his 20s, as well.
As The Undertaker, now, tossing The Rock to the outside,
out here in no man's land, so to speak.
[crowd clamoring]
-Rock went down the aisle. -[Lawler] Watch it!
[JR] And gets introduced to the security railing,
which is made of steel,
which makes it very, very unforgiving here.
No protection whatsoever on that part of the equipment.
And neither are those stairs.
-They're not carpeted, King. -[Lawler chuckling] No.
Those are those same steps
that The Undertaker used to just crush Mr. McMahon's leg with.
[JR] Well, right now, Mr. McMahon has a lot of other problems.
The Rock's got problems, as well.
And "Stone Cold" Steve Austin may become an even bigger problem
to Mr. McMahon and the WWE.
[Lawler] How could he be an even bigger problem than what he did tonight?
I've never seen anything like that. He hit him in the head with a bed pan!
[JR] It may be just a sign of things to come.
-[Lawler] His underwear showed. -[JR] By the way, was that bedpan full?
-[Lawler] Oh, come on. -[JR] Right hand by The Undertaker.
[Lawler] Why can't they put backs on those hospital gowns?
[JR] Boy, The Rock is taking a lot of punishment here by The Phenom.
The conscience of the WWE
has physically asserted himself on this youngster.
Tell you what, my thoughts still go right to 13 days from now.
-[Lawler] Look at this. Look at that look. -[JR] There's the look, yeah.
October the 18th, that man, Kane, and his brother, The Undertaker,
will fight, they will scratch,
they will claw, they will pound on each other until only one man's standing.
-And, then, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin… -[Lawler] Look at this! Oh, man!
[JR] …is gonna raise the hand of the winner
and present them the WWE Title belt.
[Lawler] That's why it's gonna be Judgment Day.
Look at this!
[JR] Sunset flip, The Rock up and over.
Got a cover now!
There's leverage! And a near fall.
Oh, man.
And The Undertaker, boy, he is… he is tenacious.
[JR] He can be almost so evil.
And what? There's a cover.
Surely, an example of the tremendous competition
that you see when you get a chance
to experience the World Wrestling Entertainment live,
whether it be in your hometown,
here on television
and, certainly, coming up on pay-per-view on Sunday, October the 18th.
[Lawler] Big shot.
[JR] The Rock will fight you back, man.
The Rock is fighting back. He doesn't know the word "quit."
[Lawler] He's not like Owen Hart, then. Oh!
[JR] Well, The Rock's got a big mouth, I'll tell you.
He backs it up more often than not,
but this may be more than a mortal man can withstand here.
The Phenom looking for the cover.
And shoulders down. And about two and a half.
And The Undertaker didn't like the count.
[Lawler] And Kane has just stood there motionless
throughout this entire match.
Is he just here for intimidation purposes or what?
[JR] What a match we are seeing right here.
The Rock, The Undertaker.
The Rock, now…
-[Lawler] Roll-up! -[JR] Athletic move, the roll-up!
And a near fall. The Undertaker with all that leg strength.
We are seeing a competitive one-on-one contest here.
-[Lawler] Oh, man! -[JR] Another knockdown by The Rock.
[Lawler] He almost took The Undertaker's head off.
[JR] Uh-oh, cover! This could be all!
And The Undertaker barely able to get a shoulder up.
Man, this could go either way at any time.
[JR] Rock sensed… No, it's reversed.
Far side.
What a shot.
[JR] The size 14, right in The Rock's face.
Another lateral press.
Not enough body on body there.
[Lawler] Look, I'm telling you, he's just standing there motionless.
Kane is not moving.
He's just staring at his brother, The Undertaker.
Look at that look, JR. What's going through his mind?
[JR] It is coming down to anybody's ballgame here.
Remember, the Undertaker or Kane will be the next WWE Champion.
But The Rock's got something to say about it.
Right here, can The Rock rebound?
-The Undertaker… Oh, look out! -[Lawler] Look at this!
[JR] Oh! Dragged him off the top!
[Lawler] I've never seen that done!
[JR] The Rock is the number-one contender for the WWE Title!
He just jerked The Undertaker right off the top rope,
as Kane observes on the outside.
-[Lawler] Oh, look at this. -[JR] The Rock fighting back.
It is a real slugfest here.
-The pace couldn't-- -[Lawler] No!
[JR] And a swinging neckbreaker! That could be all.
The leg's hooked!
The referee got two and a half!
And The Rock is up quickly.
[Lawler] I'm telling you, The Rock has gotta be wondering
what's it gonna take to put The Undertaker away.
[JR] Oh, look out, Tombstone. Tombstone!
The Rock with an athletic move.
He hooked the side Russian leg sweep.
The Rock looking for the… Oh.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. Here he goes! -[JR] People's Elbow!
-[Lawler] There goes the people's armband. -[JR] From The People's Champion!
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Listen to this!
-[JR] Boom! -[Lawler] Oh! [laughs]
[JR] Right to the heart, if he has one, of The Undertaker!
[crowd cheering]
The Rock building momentum here.
And The Undertaker fights back, as we knew he would.
[JR] And it will be nasty at Judgment Day,
when The Undertaker and Kane settle it once and for all.
[Lawler] This is pretty nasty right here.
-Look out! -[JR] Boom.
What a shot there by The Rock,
catching The Undertaker coming in.
Hard right hands.
Hard right hands!
Undertaker--
Oh, look out!
Oh, God, the referee just got smashed!
-Referee just got smashed here! -[crowd clamoring]
The Rock reverses the whip.
-[Lawler shrieks] -[JR] They're both down,
The Rock and The Undertaker!
[Lawler] Hey, what's he doing here? Look out!
[JR] We got Kane.
Kane's got something on his mind here.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[JR] Undertaker and The Rock are down,
so is the referee.
And Kane has got some evil intentions,
you've gotta believe, on his mind.
[crowd clamoring]
The Undertaker sits up.
[crowd cheering]
But what is Kane gonna do with that steel chair?
His brother, The Undertaker, is up.
The referee is down.
-Here comes The Rock. -[Lawler] Watch yourself, Rock!
[JR] They're both back up! We start back over!
What a headbutt.
Oh, The Rock's on Dream Street here.
The Undertaker pulling out all the stops.
He's trying to punish this youngster, but The Rock just will not stay down.
[Lawler] Oh!
[JR] Kane just nailed his own brother!
[Lawler] There's your answer! There's your answer!
-[JR] And the Rock Bottom! -[crowd cheering]
The Rock Bottom! It'll be over.
[JR] One, two!
-But no referee! -[crowd clamoring]
Kane did the damage to his own brother!
[Lawler] Where's the ref?
Get up!
[JR] The Rock, thanks to that thunderous chair shot,
had the one, two, three.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Look at this!
[JR] The Rock trying to revive the referee.
-[Lawler] Behind you, Rock! Behind you! -[JR] Oh, look out, look out, look out!
Undertaker's got The Rock up!
-Here it comes, Tombstone! -[Lawler] Not on the chair!
[JR] No, no, no, no! On the chair!
The Undertaker just Tombstoned The Rock on the steel chair!
The Rock is out!
I can't believe…
The referee's got the count.
[Lawler] No way!
[JR] And The Undertaker has defeated The Rock!
The Tombstone on the chair!
What a wrestling match! What a contest!
[Lawler] The chair that Kane threw in the ring.
[JR] Only in the WWE
are you gonna see the best action like this, ladies and gentlemen.
Will that man be the next WWE Champion?
We'll find out, ooh, at Judgment Day! ?
