[intro music playing]
[Mr. McMahon] If you don't raise
the hand of the new World Wrestling Entertainment Champion,
I promise you-- I guarantee you Austin, I will fire,
fire, fire your ass. Fire.
You ain't got the… to fire "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[Mr. McMahon] You will be humbled, easy way.
You raise the hand of the champion the hard way,
I publicly…
I guarantee I will fire your ass this Sunday.
[Lawler] You can take McMahon's words to the bank.
-[crowd cheering] -[JR] Undertaker and Kane are down.
Austin is counting.
[crowd cheering]
[bell ringing]
And the winner of the match is "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
-[crowd cheering] -Stone Cold, screw you.
You're fired.
Screw you. You're fired.
You bet your ass, Vince,
because ain't seen the last of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[crowd cheering]
[fanfare music playing]
[JR] It is a festive atmosphere, ladies and gentlemen.
-Here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. -[Lawler whoops] Yes.
[JR] I'm Jim Ross alongside Jerry "the King" Lawler.
We are at ringside, and a big celebration is in the works here
as Mr. McMahon is-- Has been in a very jubilant mood since firing
-"Stone Cold" Steve Austin… -[Lawler] What a celebration.
-Look at those confetti's. -…at Judgment Day.
[Lawler] Look at the balloons.
[JR] And we heard, ladies and gentlemen, that Mr. McMahon has summoned
the entire roster of WWE Superstars to the ring here tonight.
[Lawler] Look at this parade, JR.
[JR] For a very important announcement,
specifically addressing each and every one of these Superstars.
[Lawler] Happy days are here again.
[JR] And I apologize if I am not in the same festive mood as you are, King.
[Lawler laughing]
Look at the parade of stars.
All you need is a big balloon and Garfield
and they'd figure it's a Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
This is great, JR, come on.
[JR] Again, I…
It certainly is an emotional night where everyone,
especially yours truly last night at Judgment Day,
because there's no doubt in anybody's mind that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
brought out… He brought out more passion
and more emotion from the fans of the WWE
than any WWE Superstar in history.
[Lawler] Look at this, JR, how much money does Mr. McMahon spend
on this celebration?
He has spared no expense.
[JR] Well, McMahon guaranteed a huge party here
to kick off Raw and that's exactly what we have
and certainly Mr. McMahon's guarantees--
[Lawler] You can take them to the bank.
[JR] Specifically, as of late have been right on the money.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Wow.
[crowd chattering]
-[JR] All these Superstars… -[Lawler] Look at this.
[JR] …have been again summoned to the ring by the owner of this company.
[Lawler] There's The Rock, DOA, all of them are in there,
everybody, JR, Headbangers, whoa, there's Sable.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] The Outlaws are here, Chyna of course,
Triple H injured last night on Heat thanks to Ken Shamrock.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Man, oh, man.
Come on, JR, you got to be happy.
[JR] Well, there's commissioner Slaughter.
I guess he will also be involved in this presentation of sorts.
Again, I'm very anxious to hear what Mr. McMahon has to say
to this assembly of WWE Superstars.
[crowd chattering]
[Lawler] Wow!
[JR] I'll tell you what, a lot of folks can relate
to what "Stone Cold" Steve Austin went through during his career
here in the WWE, and then being humbled,
humiliated at Judgment Day unnecessarily,
-in my view, unnecessarily fired. -[Lawler] No. No. Wait a minute.
-[JR] That's my view. -Yeah.
-I don't like your view. -[JR] That's too bad.
[Lawler] Get your head out of your ear…
[Chimel] Ladies and gentlemen,
the owner of the World Wrestling Entertainment, Mr. McMahon.
[Lawler] Yes!
[crowd booing]
[JR] Now, you can cheer…
[Lawler] He's a man of his word.
[JR] …for that hellish human being.
A bona fide power broker.
He-- I really believe he will-- Is almost orgasmic for this man
-to fire Austin last night. -[Lawler laughs]
[crowd booing]
May I have your attention, please?
[crowd booing]
May I have your attention.
I have a very important announcement to make
as it relates to the World Wrestling Entertainment Championship.
[JR] We have no champion after last night thanks to Stone Cold.
[Mr. McMahon] As a result
of an individual who is no longer gainfully employed
here in the World Wrestling Entertainment,
we have no World Wrestling Entertainment Champion as we speak.
However, I assure you
that on the night of November 15 at the Survivor Series…
As a matter of fact I guarantee you…
Uh-oh, there goes that word again.
-I guarantee you… -[Lawler laughs] Yes.
Thing in the bank.
[Mr. McMahon] Nonetheless, I guarantee you,
on November 15, at the end of that evening
we will have an Undisputed WWE Champion
because on that night at the Survivor Series,
sixteen WWE Superstars will compete in a one-night tournament
to determine just who will be the next Undisputed WWE Champion.
-[Lawler] Whoa. -[JR] St. Louis, Missouri,
Survivor Series.
[Mr. McMahon] Now, as far as so many events of last night are concerned,
it seems as though some of you are in a state of shock,
some of you are in a state of disbelief.
[crowd chattering]
[crowd chanting] Asshole, asshole, asshole!
[Lawler] Listen to the moronic fans.
[JR] Expressing themselves from their hearts.
If I am, I'm damn proud of it.
[Lawler] Oh, did you hear that?
Some of you are certainly in a state of shock as,
"Did Vince McMahon really fire 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin last night?"
[crowd booing]
Well, for the benefit of those of you who did not join us
on pay-per-view last night
at Judgment Day…
-How appropriate, Judgment Day. -[Lawler] Yeah.
Let me repeat the words I said to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
"Austin, screw you, you're fired."
-[crowd booing] -[Lawler] That's what he said, all right.
How did "Stone Cold" Steve Austin take the news?
Well, I'll show you how he took the news.
On the TitanTron, if you'll direct your attention,
someone from production will put up a freeze frame
of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's face.
-[Lawler] Look! -As Stone Cold heard those words,
Stone Cold had that look on his face,
a look of disbelief.
He couldn't believe he had just been fired.
Austin, as a matter of fact started mumbling some about
hunting season or going hunting.
I didn't know what he meant,
until this morning someone told me
that rumor was Austin was indeed hunting.
He was hunting for a job.
[Lawler laughing]
[crowd booing]
Austin, if you ever
come into a World Wrestling Entertainment arena again,
then you'll do so just like this capacity crowd,
you'll have to buy a ticket, Austin.
[Lawler] Wow.
[crowd chanting] Asshole, asshole, asshole!
-[JR] A cruel man. -All right.
So what did it feel like?
Many of you are saying to yourself,
"My God, what it's like to be Vince McMahon?"
"What's it like to have the balls to fire 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin?"
[Lawler] Whoo!
I really wondered.
I wondered if Austin provoked me,
how I would feel, and last night I searched,
and last night when I fired Austin,
I'll admit it felt pretty damn good.
[Lawler] I'll bet.
At the end of the evening,
after asking that question again I was convinced it felt great.
And then this morning, you know, when you look into that mirror,
bright and early when you first get up, that soul searching,
"All right, Vince McMahon how did you feel
after firing 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin?"
Do you know what it felt like to me this morning?
-[Lawler] What? -It was better than sex.
[Lawler] Whoa!
That's good, JR.
[JR] He's wicked.
[Lawler] Better than sex.
Which brings me…
as to why each and every one of you stand before me
as WWE Superstars, hopefully, you all learned a lesson
that Stone Cold learned last night.
Hopefully, no one in that ring
will ever cross The Boss,
because none of you are as big as Vince McMahon.
[crowd booing]
You know, all that Austin 3:16 paraphernalia out there,
t-shirts, what have you, another rumor going around
that it's going like hotcakes
because now, Austin 3:16… That's a collector's item, you see.
Now, there's a new expression.
A new expression that's gonna be sweeping the nation,
sweeping the globe, and that's McMahon 3:16.
[crowd booing]
[Lawler] Oh, when are those shirts coming out?
And McMahon 3:16 says,
I've got the brass to fire your ass.
[Lawler laughing]
Thank you very much.
-Thank you, gentlemen. -[Lawler] That was great.
[JR] Wait. Just a minute.
Hey, what's with the TitanTron?
Folks, that's not a freeze frame.
That's a live shot.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] The Rattlesnake is here.
[Lawler] He can't be here.
[JR] My God.
Look at McMahon's face.
-Austin is here. -[Lawler] What?
[JR] He's here and he's armed.
My God.
-You'll be all right. -He's got something.
-That's all right, Vince. -I can't-- What kind of weapon?
What kind of weapon was it?
-[man 1] 360. -[man 2] AK-47.
-[Mr. McMahon] A what? -[man 1] 360.
[Mr. McMahon] What the hell?
[man 1] Got a shotgun also.
[man 2] No matter what it is, it's okay.
We'll stay with you.
-We'll stay with you. -[man 1] We're with you.
-[man 2] Don't worry. -[Mr. McMahon] All right.
-I'm with The Boss Man? -[Big Boss Man] Yeah.
[Mr. McMahon] Boss Man, please. The first thing I want you to do.
My family is up in the Legend box.
All right.
Go get them.
-Get them out of town. -[Big Boss Man] To the airport?
-Take 'em out? -Get them out of here.
-All right. I'm going. -Please. Please.
Mr. McMahon, we're with you.
-Okay. -Don't worry, man. It'll be all right.
Cameraman?
You stay here.
-I want this camera here, all right? -Okay.
I want this camera to document everything that we're gonna do.
-I understand. -I want--
I want everyone to be a witness.
I want this camera to document this. It's the only thing I've got.
[man] We understand that. We'll be with you.
[Mr. McMahon] You stay with us too,
-please. Absolutely. -[man] Stay put?
[Mr. McMahon] I want it all documented.
[JR] A shot, ladies and gentlemen,
looking at right there Austin out in the truck,
out in the back of the arena, we are told
and looks like he's cleaning his hunting weapon, King.
You mean, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is right outside
this arena right now with weapons?
Exactly.
And I hope that cooler heads can prevail
in a very tense situation here, ladies and gentlemen.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin was fired last night as you know.
-He's here tonight and he's armed. -["The Ultimate" playing]
[Lawler] He's crazy.
He's fired. He can't come back here.
[bell ringing]
[Chimel] The following non-title contest is scheduled for one fall
with a 20-minute limit.
Making his way to the ring from Sacramento, California,
weighing in at 243 pounds,
the new World Wrestling Entertainment Intercontinental Champion
and The World's Most Dangerous Man,
Ken Shamrock.
-Yeah! -[JR] Shamrock won
the Intercontinental Champion title last Monday night
in the finals of the tournament by beating a very, very courageous X-Pac
in the finals after some rather unscrupulous means by Shamrock.
What a courageous effort by X-Pac
and then Shamrock continued his carnage last night on Heat
-by catching Triple H. -[Shamrock] Wait. No.
[JR] And Triple H has an injured knee in the door there, King.
[Lawler] Right, he slammed that door right on the knee of Triple H
and now that's sent Triple H back to Birmingham in a rehab,
now he's having to start his rehabilitation
-all over in square one. -["Break It Down" playing]

[JR] The European Champion, X-Pac, victorious last night over D-Lo Brown
in Judgment Day
in the champion versus champion here in a non-title matchup.
Folks, I can tell you X-Pac traveling in fast company earlier today.
X-Pac and DX are with Mötley Crüe,
we'll get some footage of that momentarily.
X-Pac victorious last night in a heck of a match over
a very talented D-Lo Brown, so X-Pac is the European Champion again.
Shamrock is the Intercontinental Champion.
It's champion versus champion here.
Now, King, earlier today, DX hung-out with their buddy Mötley Crüe.
Mötley Crüe is gonna be with us tomorrow night in Madison, Wisconsin.
-Tickets are out and still available. -[man 1] All right.
-[man 2] What's up. -[man 3] What's going on?
[man 2] Hey, hey, man. All right, man.
-[man 4] How are you? -[man 2] Yeah.
-[Lawler] It is Tommy Lee. -[man 5] Hell, yeah.
-Mötley Crüe and DX, and the boys. -[cheering and laughter]
-Yeah. -[Lawler] That's Neil, Tommy Lee.
Girls. [laughing]
Hell, yeah.
-[man 2] Yeah. -All right.
[JR] Mötley Crüe made me catch this on video.
-Who knows? -This is cool, wipe your ass with it.
Whatever, man. Whatever. Whatever.
-[man 3] Do my ears deceive me? -Mötley [bleep] Crüe, man.
[bleep] Look at that.
-[bell ringing] -[JR] Mötley Crüe will join us
on Heat this Sunday on Raw, one week from tonight.
He'll be live and in person tomorrow night in Madison, Wisconsin.
And Shamrock certainly is not gonna waste any time,
give any extra chances or any surcease
in the early going to the European Champion, X-Pac.
It's champion versus champion in this non-title matchup.
And certainly, folks we have a-- We're sitting on a powder keg here.
[Lawler] Right. I guess this just proves it, the show must go on.
I can't believe this.
[JR] You know how serious Mr. McMahon has taken this
and certainly can't blame him for wanting to get his family out of the arena.
You know, it's a volatile situation and you'd like to believe
that no one's in danger here
with the exception of possibly Mr. McMahon.
[Lawler] Well, that's the worst person to be in danger.
[JR] There's a cover by Shamrock.
I hope that The Rattlesnake hasn't gone postal here.
I want enough cops.
Mr. McMahon, they are already here.
You got nothing to worry about, Mr. McMahon.
Everything's under control.
We guarantee you.
[JR] Well, McMahon's surrounded by his associates and a bevy of security.
As Shamrock just nailed X-Pac with a knee right to the sternum.
[Lawler] You say to call the cops, well, the cops are already here.
[JR] Always got the dogs back there
-and since security ran here-- -[Lawler] He needs more cops.
[JR] Shamrock with a front face lock.
[Lawler] I don't think you can just drive around town in a truck with rifles
-and guns and stuff… -[JR] Also he said last night,
if he got fired, he was going hunting.
[Lawler] Okay. Here we go. Here comes the police.
[JR] Two more security down here
and looks like they're approaching Chyna.
-Oh, Chyna's been the… -What?
[JR] …object of a sexual harassment lawsuit.
-[Lawler] Look at this! -[JR] From Mark Henry.
-What's this? -You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you…
[JR] Chyna's being arrested.
[Lawler] They're cops! Look at this.
-[man] I love you, Chyna. -[Lawler] They just read her her rights.
[JR] Chyna being arrested here and taken away--
[Lawler] These guys should be arresting Austin on the parking lot, not Chyna.
[JR] Austin hasn't broken any laws.
[Lawler] He's got guns.
[JR] He's a hunter.
-Get it through your head. -[Lawler] Oh, come on.
-Oh! -[JR] Oh… The spinning heel kick.
[Lawler] Went through the head of Shamrock.
[JR] Great move by X-Pac.
This kid's got so much courage--
And Shamrock the Intercontinental Champion,
a ravaged animal against Mankind at Judgment Day.
Shamrock victorious in one of the most orthodox matches I've ever seen.
What a powerslam.
-There's a cover, one, two-- No. -[Lawler] No.
[JR] Near fall there by Shamrock.
He just drilled X-Pac with a powerslam.
Well, apparently at least-- Our guess is, is that Chyna being arrested
has something to do with the sexual harassment lawsuit
that Mark Henry has filed against The Ninth Wonder of the World.
[Lawler] Well, imagine--
[crowd cheering]
-[Lawler] Oh! -[JR] Oh, my God.
[Lawler] Yeah.
[JR] X-Pac was looking to ride the bucking bronco here but…
-Bronco moved. -[Lawler] He got bucked.
[JR] Oh.
Tremendous suplex by the Intercontinental Champion.
Certainly the war between Shamrock and Mankind
is just really heating up here,
and they are going to maim each other in my view
before it's all said and done.
But certainly X-Pac was clamoring to get a rematch…
[crowd cheering]
…against Shamrock.
Wait a minute, here comes Mankind.
[Lawler] Oh, come on. What's he doing here?
[JR] Speaking of the deranged one, there he is.
Well, he is as unpredictable as the weather.
[Lawler] Shamrock, look at that idiot.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Shamrock distracted now by…
-[Lawler] Oh! -…by Mankind
and Mankind got a poke right in the face for his efforts,
and it's Shamrock bringing Mankind from the outside in--
Oh, look out.
-[crowd cheering] -The Mandible Claw,
Shamrock told him last night
and a counter into the belly-to-belly that broke the Mandible Claw.
X-Pac back up to his feet and X-Pac, the facebuster.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] X-Pac with a facebuster, can he-- Yes, he can.
-[Lawler] Wait a minute. -[bell ringing]
[Chimel] Here's your winner, X-Pac!
["Break It Down" playing]
[JR] Well, with that very unluckily assist from Mankind.
[Lawler] Wait. What about this, JR?
[JR] X-Pac has just avenged
his loss in the Intercontinental Tournament finals last week.
[Lawler] What's the hurry now
[JR] Well, Chyna's has got--
Concerned about Chyna as are the Outlaws.
Remember Helmsley injured last night on Heat.
He's back in Birmingham, Alabama getting treatment
-for that knee injury. -[man] I know. This is ridiculous.
[indistinct chatter]
[man] It has nothing do with her.
-This is ridiculous, man. -[indistinct chatter]
-[JR] Well, Chyna has been handcuffed. -[man 2] Chyna, don't worry.
-[indistinct chatter] -[JR] Arrested, read her rights.
[man 1] Chyna, don't sweat it.
[JR] And now apparently is going to be jailed.
-Thanks to the, uh… -[Lawler] What--
-Wonder what Mark Henry's-- -[JR] The romantic Mark Henry.
[Lawler] Wonder what he's thinking about his girlfriend now.
[man 2] You don't worry. We'll solve it.
[indistinct chatter]
[Lawler] Yeah, go see if you can make bail.
-Come on, bullshit. -[man 1] Come on.
-Let's go. -What's the deal?
[man 1] Go get him.
-Let's go back in the building. -Go back inside.
-[X-Pac] Cat got your tongue? -Let's go.
Hey, isn't that Steve Austin?
Hey, that's Stone Cold.
[crowd cheering]
-Hey, Stone Cold. -[Stone Cold] Hello, guys.
-What are you doing here? -Just doing a little hunting,
just killing time now.
-You going deer hunting? -Yeah. I'm trying to do.
Well, why don't you step out of the car a sec?
-Just step out of the truck. -I got it. No problem.
-How's work? -How've you been?
-Well, good, just hanging out. -Good.
Nice. So you got a sidearm?
-Yeah. Wanna check it out? -Yeah. What is that?
.38 special.
-My little toy. -Oh, yeah.
Nice toy.
-Very nice. -Not bad. Not bad.
-You guys doing all right? -Very good.
-Staying busy?
-Yeah. -Watching a little wrestling, little WWE.
-Nothing wrong with that! Yeah. -WWE?
Say, Steve, my son's a fan of yours. Do you mind if you give him an autograph?
Well, hell yeah.
-What's the name? -His name is Bret.
Bret. How's Bret doing?
Very good.
-Big fan of yours. -Big wrestling fan?
Big fan of the WWE.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] What is going on?
[Stone Cold] Nothing wrong with that.
-Here you go, chief. -Thanks a lot, Stone Cold.
-Sign one for me, champ? -Yeah, you got…
-You got a name? -Abby.
-Dear Abby? [chuckles] -Dear Abby, baby.
-She's dear to me. -I hear you.
-Is Abby's all right? -Yeah, she's doing great, Steve.
[Lawler] The police are getting his autograph.
[JR] He hasn't broken any laws.
-[Lawler] Yet. -[officer] Oh, yeah.
[Lawler] He's got guns!
All right. Have a great show.
-[Stone Cold] Take care, guys. -Take care.
[overlapping chatter]
[Lawler] No, don't leave.
-I'll catch you guys later. -[officer] All right.
Perhaps Mr. McMahon, I can't--
There's a mad man. There's a mad man on the loose.
And they're asking for autographs out there.
What kind of deal is this-- He got weapons out there.
I don't think he could get in the building.
-What the hell kind of town is this? -It's surrounded with cops.
What the hell kind of cops are those?
-Please… -My God!
Listen, you got to do this now.
You take your firearm,
takes this flea-bitten dog with you.
-That's right. -Go get him. Go arrest him.
Go get him, take your firearm, and use it if you have to.
He's a lunatic.
Now, go do your job.
I didn't come here to endanger my life.
Screw you.
-I'm out of here. -Don't… What?
[man] What's the matter with you? What are you doing?
[Mr. McMahon] Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
-Come back here, please. -Come back here.
Damn it, come back here!
Where the hell did he go?
[Gerald] I'll find him, Mr. McMahon.
Damn it!
Please, I need protection.
I need security.
["Bangers" playing]
[Lawler] What kind of town is this, JR?
Let's get it right now.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages,
Heavy Metal Music is proud bring to you
its new WWE Tag Team Champions of the world,
Mosh and Thrasher, The Headbangers!
[crowd cheering]
And if you're not down with The Headbangers,
we got two words for you, you suck!
[crowd cheering]
["What A Rush" playing]
[JR] The Headbangers trying to steal all the thunder from--
Certainly from the Outlaws.
Headbangers defeat the Outlaws last night at Judgment Day via disqualification
and a great ovation for The Legion of Doom.
[Chimel] And their opponents being accompanied to the ring by Hawk
at a combined weight of 574 pounds,
Darren Drozdov and Animal,
The Legion of Doom!
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, Raw is brought to you by Castrol Syntec,
it's the active lubricant.
[Lawler] And by Mr. Tees product, with attitude and class,
available at better retailers everywhere, Mr. Tees.
[JR] Headbangers victor-- Or excuse me.
The Headbangers are victorious by disqualification of the Outlaws
but so were the LOD in a Six-Man Tag Match against DOA and Paul Ellering
in a little controversy apparently with LOD as it relates to Droz
who seems to be a little… Maybe overzealous.
I guess that's what youth does to you, King.
Or you don't remember that?
[Lawler] Yeah, right.
All I remember is the shout of that guard with that dog leaving Mr. McMahon.
What's up with that, JR?
[JR] Well, I think the guy had a job to do
and he's not a--
He came to bring his dog to help Mr. McMahon,
not to go packing sidearms
and go on some sort of posse for goodness sakes.
Oh, what a powerslam by Animal on Mosh.
And Thrasher in to interrupt the count there.
[Lawler] Well, that guard and his animal were hired to protect Mr. McMahon
and he walked out on him.
[JR] Well, maybe that guy didn't like to be abused.
And before he could be fired for no reason, he quit.
[Lawler] Look out.
[JR] Nice teamwork there by Droz and Animal.
-Remember Hawk back from rehab… -[Lawler] Uh-oh.
[JR] …from his problem with pain killers is now an alternate in The Legion of Doom.
It's Droz and Animal on most occasions in the two-man tag team.
Nice double teaming by the former…
-[Lawler] Oh. Oh, man. -…tag team champions, boy.
Droz dropped right on his head from that move,
a little vertical flapjack there by The Headbangers
-and Droz up and over. -[Lawler] Geez.
[JR] Nice move by Droz there who got a near fall.
[Lawler] Can't believe Droz is still conscious.
[JR] Well, I hope that Steve Austin doesn't make a mistake that…
-[Lawler] Oh! -…we will regret forever.
And there's a cover from the powerbomb.
[Lawler] You're not kidding me.
[JR] It's hard to focus on this match, and I'll apologize for that.
Knowing what's going on back in the locker room area.
As Mosh is taken outside, and wait a minute,
-Droz, Droz got his… -[Lawler] No.
…mind off his business for a moment.
-[bell ringing] -And he paid for it.
[Lawler] Well…
[Chimel] Here are your winners, The Headbangers!
[JR] It looked like Hawk was trying to give Droz some instructions or some help,
in any event and inadvertently distracted Droz
and now Droz is blaming Hawk apparently for the defeat.
[Lawler] Meanwhile The Headbangers should be
the tag team champions of the world.
["The Headbangers" playing]
[JR] Well, there's problems in paradise with The Legion of Doom.
And Hawk taking the heat there from Droz.
-[speaks indistinctly] -All right. I have no cops.
I'll tell you what, let me…
Let me get myself a cup of coffee. I'll get you one.
Do you want your coffee black with sweet little--
I don't-- Just get this--
-We get some big problems. -I'll get you one.
-I don't want… -No, you guys stay here
and I'll get you-- Do you want cream and sugar?
I'll get you guys one. I'll be right back.
[Gerald] I can get you coffee myself.
[Gerald] We're with you. We're with you, Mr. McMahon.
-We're here. -We're with you.
[Patterson] Stay here.
-You don't have to come. -I'm gonna go
-and get some coffee. -What do you mean?
[overlapping chatter]
[Gerald] We'll be right back.
[Patterson] You can stay if you want.
Where the hell-- Where the hell are you going?
[indistinct chatter]
Where the hell are you going?
[knocking on door]
[crowd chattering]
[Lawler] Uh-oh, JR.
[Foley] Special delivery.
Special delivery.
It's Sheriff Socko, your new head of security.
Heard you were in trouble, Vince?
Sorry, I brought some things.
After all, I know the baby has got a sweet tooth.
Nothing gets you through times of trouble like a good sugar rush.
[laughs]
Yeah. I'm happy to see you, man.
You like me, Vince.
You really like me.
-I'm-- -Mr. Socko too.
I'm happy to see you.
I really am.
Gonna be great. Gonna be like a sleepover party.
-Everyone's deserted-- -I got a whole bag of stuff
-for these… -Close that door.
It won't lock, just keep it closed.
I'll keep it closed. I got your back, Vince.
Me too, head of security, Mr. Socko, Sheriff Socko.
[JR] Sheriff Socko.
Let's get to know each other.
[bell tolling]
-[crowd cheering] -["Dark Side" playing]
[JR] We are back live here in the arena, ladies and gentlemen, yes.
That could mean only thing, this music, The Phenom,
The Undertaker will realign himself at Judgment Day
with his longtime manager, Paul Bearer.
And what a show-- Oh, what a shocker that was.
[Lawler] Was that a gun?
["Dark Side" continues playing]
[JR] And there you see them back together officially.
Paul Bearer turned his back on Kane
at Judgment Day last night
when The Undertaker and Kane met for the WWE title,
Paul Bearer came to the ring.
We thought he was gonna strike The Undertaker with a steel chair,
but when Kane turned his back to his own father, Paul Bearer
nailed him with a steel folding chair, and then The Undertaker finished him off.
He finished Kane off with that steel chair, King,
but the referee, Stone Cold, would not count the fall.
Therefore, The Undertaker did not win the WWE title.
[Lawler] Yeah, that was the beginning of all these problems.
[JR] Folks, still to come here tonight, The Rock takes on D-Lo Brown,
-Mankind who's, Sheriff Socko-- -[Lawler] Oh, please.
[JR] Mankind taken advantage of as usual by Mr. McMahon.
Mankind and Val Venis looks--
What's the story here about Jeff Jarrett got something big?
[Lawler] Well, yeah, it's a big surprise that Steve Austin in the parking lot,
wasn't a big enough surprise,
Jeff Jarrett's got a big surprise for everybody tonight too.
[JR] Folks, the next pay-per-view in this business
will be Survivor Series, Sunday, November 15th in St. Louis.
Tickets are still available there, a 16-man one night tournament
and Mr. McMahon guarantees
a new WWE Champion will be crowned at Survivor Series,
and I'll say The Phenom has got some explaining to do.
Why?
Why is Paul Bearer back?
As you can plainly see
there has been a reconciliation made.
[crowd chattering]
[crowd booing]
Brother Paul has come home
to lead my Ministry of Darkness.
[crowd chattering]
And I'm sure that there's those who can't understand
because they have no vision how I could align myself once more
with such a despicable,
evil, maniacal individual.
Well, if those aren't reasons enough
I don't guess I can explain it any better.
[crowd chattering]
What we have is someone with vision,
someone who truly understands the power of the darkness.
He allowed me to clear my head
and refocus on what it is I am here for.
[crowd chattering]
Now, what we have is a beginning of a new era
and we will unleash with our Ministry of Darkness
a plague for which the World Wrestling Entertainment
has never seen,
nor will-- If we ever understood
amongst those who do not relish in the darkness
so, now, those of you
who do not declare shall be declared.
Kane, I used you, boy.
Ever since you were a little child
I took care of you like a pet,
like a pet dog on a leash just for special occasions,
yes, I used you because you're stupid, you're weak,
you can't even speak for yourself,
you turned your back on me twice.
The first time was eight weeks ago,
the last time was last night, boy.
[crowd chattering]
You could never understand the darkness, Kane,
that is why I'll never have any use for you again.
[JR] He's your son, for God's sake, you rotund demon.
You know, Kane,
I know there's a thought
that's been burning in your mind for years.
You really wanna know what happened,
the day you caught on fire,
well, listen and listen close,
-I set that fire. -[JR] What?
And I set because you were weak as a child
and you're weak now.
And we have no room for the weak,
only the strong shall survive.
-["Burned" playing] -[JR] I can't--
-Wait a minute, oh! -[crowd cheering]
Well, business may pick-up right here because…
that music indicates that Kane is on his way to roll.
-[fireworks exploding] -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] I can't believe that Undertaker just admitted
that he set the fire that deformed his own brother.
[JR] Wait a minute.
That's Kane and his pushing a huge casket.
[Lawler] Uh-oh.
[JR] Kane, a seven-foot younger brother
who went to war with The Undertaker at Judgment Day.
[Lawler] What's he doing?
[JR] Man, I don't know.
["Burned" fades]
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Now, he's heard some shocking news here tonight,
it's like driving a stake through his heart.
[in a distorted voice] You and I, tonight,
Casket Match.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] There's a challenge apparently,
Kane challenging The Undertaker for a Casket Match.
[Lawler] He cut right to the chase, a man of few words.
And, brother, you will…
-rest in peace. -[crowd] Rest in peace.
-["Burned" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[JR] The challenge has been laid down.
Kane challenging The Undertaker in a Casket Match
live right here tonight on Raw,
and I can't believe in my wildest dreams
that The Undertaker would not accept the challenge, King.
-[Foley] Oh, I'll watch him. -[Lawler] Oh.
The fans love him, as far as--
We hire… We hire Austin.
Hey, you got a lot of fire, you fired me
and now look at us, we're best of friends,
I say we hire the guy and the four of us, we're on click.
The four of us?
You, me, Austin, and Mr. Socko.
-[crowd cheering] -[Mr. McMahon] Seriously?
This is a matter of principle,
you don't know what's it's like to be a man like me,
this is a matter of principle.
[Foley] Right, I respect your moral fortitude.
Well, let's play some games.
What? Play games?
Play games?
Wait. Put that on red, okay?
Oh, they're numbered.
There you go.
All right. Now, let's--
What the hell are you doing?
[Foley] Making you feel better makes me feel better.
You're not making me feel better.
You wanna play games at time like this?
[Foley] You're being a major party pooper.
Get the hell out.
-Get the hell out. -Okay.
Get the hell out here.
Take this crap with you.
Get out.
I don't wanna play games.
I'm being threatened, damn it, get out!
Get out, get out, get out, get the hell out of here!
I'm in danger and you wanna play games.
Get out my life and damn it, stay the hell out!
Get, get the hell out of here!
-[rock music playing] -Get out!
[JR] Well, so much for gratitude for Mankind
trying to console the owner of this company.
-[Lawler] What kind of idiot is he? -[bell ringing]
[Chimel] The following contest is scheduled…
-[JR] McMahon? -[Lawler] No.
[Chimel] …and a 20-minute time limit.
Making his way to the ring from Annville, Pennsylvania,
weighing in at 243 pounds,
"The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman.
[JR] I guess it is kind of hard to play twister
in a wheelchair, folks.
So, last week, Steve Blackman was--
Has returned to action here on TV too early.
His surgical repaired knee, not at 100%,
it's not at 100% tonight,
he was eliminated in the Intercontinental Tournament
by Ken Shamrock and then Blue Blazer came from nowhere.
[Lawler] The Blue Blazer has shown up a couple of times
and look at this, he's right on Steve Blackman
and then all of a sudden he just disappears into the night.
[JR] A lot of speculation that that's Owen Hart.
-[Lawler] Huh? -[JR] The world's greatest or worst liar.
[JR] Oh, here's a big surprise, King.
[Chimel] …being accompanied to the ring by Debra McMichael…
[Lawler] There it is.
[Chimel] …from the great State of Tennessee…
[JR] And I reckon, business has picked up.
[Chimel] …weighing in at 240 pounds, Jeff Jarrett…
[Lawler] Wow, what did I tell you?
Look at the look of all these people's faces.
[JR] They make quite the auspicious pair, I tell you that.
I wonder what the relationship here is between Debra McMichael and Jeff Jarrett.
[Lawler] Well, you speculate too much. Who cares what their relationship is,
she's accompanying him to ringside, that's all that matters.
Wow.
[JR] You know, I wonder what is,
you know, where this relationship has been.
[Lawler] Quit wondering, just enjoy.
[bell ringing]
[JR] Well, Jeff Jarrett and Steve Blackman one-on-one here.
Blackman is still, folks, not 100%,
and Jarrett trying to go make short work of The Lethal Weapon here.
Now, folks, still to come tonight, we do have it confirmed now,
there will be a Casket Match tonight live between The Undertaker and Kane.
[Lawler] Watch it.
[JR] The Rock and D-Lo Brown here tonight plus Mankind and Val Venis
all that and more-- Certainly we are… Hard to keep focused on our in-ring action
with that rattlesnake sitting on that pickup truck, King.
[Lawler] Well, I mean, you know, I just can't understand it,
he's got Mr. McMahon totally spooked.
And I can't believe the cops are out,
they're asking Stone Cold for an autograph instead of arresting him.
He's not supposed to be there during-- At least get him for trespassing
or loitering or something.
[JR] Crossbody and a roll through by Blackman
and Blackman got a near fall there on Jeff Jarrett.
And Blackman spinning heel kick again. Oh, Blackman, here with the cover,
-not wasting any opportunity. -[crowd chanting]
[Lawler] I got to question the wisdom too of Mr. McMahon,
I can understand why he wanted to kick
that idiot Mankind out there, trying to play Twister,
but now he's by himself back there.
[JR] Nice swinging neckbreaker by a very aggressive Jeff Jarrett.
And Jeff Jarrett and Debra McMichael.
-[Lawler] Yeah. -[JR] A new item here on the WWE.
And again, folks, we-- This was a surprise to all of us,
and we do not know the official relationship
between Jarrett and that young woman.
And there's a cover following the dropkick.
Well, I tell you we got some folks here
that would like to have a lot of questions answered here in the arena,
including yours truly.
I would like to remind you, we're gonna be in the great State of Texas
on the first three days of November, Austin, Houston, and Dallas,
really big events in Austin on Sunday, November 1st,
Houston, Monday, November 2nd, that's for Raw.
And then Raw Is War in the Reunion Arena in Dallas.
Tickets are available there for Tuesday, November 3rd.
[Lawler] Well, that's where "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
should be-- Oh, my God.
Somewhere in Austin, Texas,
instead of sitting down here in the parking lot
here in Milwaukee tonight.
[JR] Austin sitting in his pickup truck, armed.
[Lawler] Yeah, with guns.
[JR] But he says he's been hunting, that's just our impression
but we do know it's-- As we said earlier
it has been confirmed a Casket Match tonight
between The Undertaker and Kane has been made official.
The Rock looking for revenge against D-Lo Brown.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] What else could happen?
[JR] There's the Blue Blazer again.
Look at this.
-[JR] The Blue Blazer with a… -[bell ringing]
…belly-to-belly suplex on Steve Blackman.
[crowd chattering]
[JR] And now, the Blazer and Jeff Jarrett…
[bell ringing]
They're double-teaming Blackman.
[Lawler] The Blazer is sticking around this time,
you put that boot to Blackman.
[crowd chanting] Nugget! Nugget!
Have you ever wondered who it is,
why don't you go up there and ask for yourself?
-Uh-oh. -[JR] I think the fans know.
-They're yelling "Nugget" here. -[Lawler] What?
I think they're saying Blazer.
[crowd chattering]
-[JR] Well, there's Al Snow. -[Lawler] Oh, look out, Jeff.
[JR] I think his attention was diverted there by Debra--
-Oh, no. Oh, my! -[Lawler shrieks]
[JR] What a shot to the head.
Jeff Jarrett just nailed Al Snow
and I hate to say it--
Well, I think the head was a little distracting,
if you know what I mean.
[Lawler] That head has an eye for the ladies.
[JR] Well, it was Sable at the Judgment Day that--
I told him not to piss me off!
[JR] Again, this is a bit surprise for us,
both Debra McMichael with Jeff Jarrett
and we again do not know their official relationship,
and what role she is going to play in his personal life or his career here.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. Listen. -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] By himself.
[phone ringing]
-Hello? -[Stone Cold] Vince.
Vince.
-Yeah. -Your time is up, you sorry bastard.
-I'm coming to get you. -[crowd cheering]
[JR] That was Stone Cold.
Oh, God.
That was The Rattlesnake and he's coming for McMahon.
[Lawler] No.
Look, look, I know damn well
that it wasn't supposed to be for like an hour,
I don't give a damn. Are you in the parking lot?
[man] Yes, I am, sir.
Well, do you see "Stone Cold" Steve Austin?
Uh, no, I do not.
You're certain. Get out of the car, okay?
-Okay. -Get out of the car and look,
do you see Stone Cold?
I'm opening the door right now.
[Lawler] Talking to the limo driver.
-Is he there? -No, I do not see him.
Then that means he's here in the building.
Get back to-- Are you in the-- Where are you?
-[crowd cheering] -Are you back?
Back the car-- Are you back by the employees entrance?
Okay. I'll back it up right now.
Back the car up. Back the car up.
And listen, leave the engine running,
leave the engine running and leave the back door open for me.
-Do you understand that? -Yep, yes, I do.
And the one more thing, when you see me, all right?
When you see me,
-if Austin shows up… -Yes.
…you scream, you promise me, you'll scream if you see Austin.
-Okay. -All right. Back it up. I'm coming out.
[JR] Man apparently on the phone is the limo driver.
I guess, King, I think Mr. McMahon is trying to--
[Lawler] Where are the stooges?
[JR] Basically he's trying to escape and get out of here. I don't know.
[Lawler] Well, he thought-- He's got the limo driver
apparently backing his limo up to the--
What did he say, the backdoor or what?
[JR] Yeah, the employee entrance
on the back of the Bradley Center, in Milwaukee.
And obviously, Mr. McMahon is somewhat a little bit hesitant there.
[Lawler] Oh!
[JR] McMahon being very cautious.
[Lawler] Go Vince, go Vince.
[JR] McMahon apparently is escaping from Milwaukee.
[crowd chattering]
[JR] "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is somewhere on the premises,
we don't know exactly where.
[Lawler] Huh? Go, go, go.
[JR] And Mr. McMahon is not gonna take any chances.
His security detail has somewhat broken down here.
[Lawler] Can't that thing go any faster?
Austin is not around, right?
No, sir.
[Lawler] Whoa.
Let me in to the damn car.
-[Lawler] No. -[JR] Wait a minute.
-[Mr. McMahon screams] -It's Austin.
-Austin has got McMahon. -You… damn it.
-No! -You ain't going nowhere.
-[Lawler] Run. Help! -Stop, please.
-[Stone Cold speaks indistinctly] -No. No!
Please get him. Get him, please. Please.
-No. -You understand that, right?
-No! -Where the hell you going?
No. I want-- No.
-[JR] McMahon is trapped. -No. No.
-Being in a wheelchair ain't working. -No. No.
-All right. Freeze. -[Lawler] Go, Vince.
[Stone Cold] Don't you move a muscle, son.
Don't you even think about trying to go nowhere,
I'll play with you for a while--
-Please. -Don't even think about--
Thinking you're gonna get away from Stone Cold.
Please…
Oh, you damn right "please".
-[crowd cheering] -No, please. Don't.
-[JR] Oh, no. -[speaking indistinctly]
No. No, no, please.
-[Lawler] Oh! -No, don't.
Shut up. You make me sick.
-[Lawler] What is that, JR? -You make me sick to my stomach.
-[JR] It's a hunting bow. -You worthless bastard.
[JR] Austin in camouflage attire. He's been hunting.
-[Lawler] Oh! -[JR] And maybe he's--
-Huh? You like that? -[JR] Man, where he's--
[Lawler] He's supposed to be fired. Where are the cops?
[indistinct shouting]
[Stone Cold] Oh, no. God!
Get up. Get up. Get up in your chair.
-Get in your chair, Vince. -My leg, my leg, my ankle.
-Get in that chair. -My ankle!
My ankle, damn it.
Do you think I care about your ankle?
[Lawler] Where are those dogs?
-The K9 dogs, JR? -[Mr. McMahon] Please.
What do you got back here, Vince?
-[overlapping chatter] -[crashes]
-Oh, no. -Hey, hey, it was my fault.
My-- Oh, my God, my ankle.
-Please. No. -[Stone Cold] My fault.
[JR] McMahon's worst nightmare has just come true.
[Stone Cold] I used to work in a hospital. I know better than anybody.
[Mr. McMahon] No. No. No. I'm in here.
-I'm in here. -Yeah. Mr. McMahon.
I'm in here.
Yeah, right. You're just as good as…
-No! -He's trying to cause problems in this--
-All right. No. -Get in there.
[JR] McMahon humiliated Austin last night.
[Stone Cold speaking indistinctly]
[JR] And thus far, he's getting a dose of his own medicine.
My God, the door shut.
-[crowd cheering] -He had a--
He had a bow and arrow and a gun.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, Austin, as many we know was fired last night.
This whole night started off with Mr. McMahon basically gloating
saying that firing Austin was better than sex, King.
I don't care. Do you realize what happened?
Mr. McMahon's been-- I mean, he's literally been taken hostage.
-Do something. -Oh, what do you want me to do?
Well, call somebody. Do something.
-Ladies and gentlemen-- -It's in there now.
It's in Mr. McMahon's dressing room.
-I know he's taking him hostage. -I realized.
Folks, we've got to take a break but we will right back
-with more on this volatile situation. -Do something.
[man] And now, the Slam of the Week featuring WWE War Zone,
the number one selling wrestling game on Nintendo 64 from Acclaim Sports.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Oh, no.
[JR] Jumpster.
What a counter move.
A facebuster by X-Pac.
That'll be it right there.
-[crowd] One, two, three. -[JR] Yes.
-[bell ringing] -[JR] X-Pac. X-Pac…
-[Lawler] No! -…is the European Champion.
[man] That was the Slam of the Week featuring WWE War Zone.
Look for Stone Cold on the package.
Acclaim Sports, sweat the details.
Have you ever been hunting before?
Anything like it, you've ever been hunting…
in your life?
Answer.
[man in crowd] Suck it!
Once.
Yeah? What'd you kill?
-Nothing. -Nothing.
It's what I've figured.
It was… safari.
A safari?
You mean like elephants, and lions, and tigers, that kind of thing?
I took pictures of them.
You took pictures but you didn't kill nothing, did you?
But let me ask you a question.
Do you think a knife like this
maybe, uh, could harm an elephant?
What do you think?
I…
Answer!
[Mr. McMahon stuttering]
♪ Do you smell what The Rock is cooking? ♪
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Oh, I tell you one thing. We--
This is one of the most chaotic
and unbelievable, extraordinary nights that I've ever been a part of.
[Lawler] Can't somebody just rush them, I mean, get some…
A bunch of people and, like, rush into there.
[JR] Well, you got all these great military plans.
Why don't you-- Why don't you lead the coup?
-I can handle it out here. -[Lawler] I saw it.
Did you not see the idiot's got a knife?
[JR] Mr. McMahon has been held hostage in his own office
by the fired Rattlesnake.
Rattlesnakes have no regrets,
especially when they've been unnecessarily fired.
[upbeat music playing]
Well, The Rock, the number one contender for the WWE title
was upset at Judgment Day by Mark Henry in no smaller part.
Thanks to D-Lo Brown.
And certainly last week, big tag team matchup.
Remember when Austin and The Rock took on Kane and The Undertaker last week.
Look at the right part of the screen there,
D-Lo with a body slam on The Rock on the outside
and then not one but two big splashes by The Strongest Man in the World, King.
[Lawler] Right. And that, if The Rock had any brains at all,
he would have left it at that, but no, now, he comes down here
and wants to challenge D-Lo Brown?
And you know D-Lo Brown ain't gonna come alone.
Yeah. Look at that, the big man,
The Strongest Man in the World, Mark Henry.
-[JR] Henry-- -[Lawler] He got to go and help Vince.
-[bell ringing] -[JR] We know that Mark Henry
who has filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Chyna,
resulting in Chyna being arrested earlier tonight,
and she ends up being booked, as we speak, from what we understand.
And The Rock and D-Lo Brown, formerly members of The Nation
which has been essentially disbanded.
As a matter of fact the only two members of The Nation
that are still together are D-Lo and Mark Henry.
Godfather has gone in his separate way, no hard feelings for The Rock
but there is some bad blood with D-Lo, Mark Henry, and The Rock.
And as a matter of fact, Godfather didn't have any love lost
after Heat with Mark Henry and D-Lo either.
[Lawler] Well, I tell you one thing, as long as you got D-Lo Brown
and "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry,
that's a pretty sizable Nation.
-[JR] Uh-oh, look out. -[Lawler] Oh, no.
[JR] The Rock took that aim south of the border
and certainly found his mark there.
[Lawler] What a cheap shot.
[JR] Nice recovery there by D-Lo Brown
and D-Lo with a scoop slam
on the number one contender for the WWE title.
[Lawler] Oh, man.
[JR] The Rock will be in a Madison, Wisconsin,
along with Mötley Crüe live tomorrow night.
Our first event in the Kohl Center, tickets are still available.
We're on the Green Bay on Wednesday, Rockford, Illinois on Thursday,
huge live WWE card.
[Lawler] Mötley Crüe's gonna be there tomorrow night at Madison?
[JR] Absolutely.
[Lawler] Oh!
[JR] Rock with a knockdown on D-Lo Brown.
WWE in Charlotte, North Carolina, Friday, Greensboro, Saturday,
and Madison Square Garden on Sunday at five o'clock.
And The Rock went for the ride. Now, watch Mark Henry.
He'll take any advantage that he can.
[Lawler] Yeah.
Boom!
[JR] Mr. McMahon is being humiliated, folks, as we speak.
[Lawler] He's not being humiliated, he's being held hostage.
What I can't understand is why some of these other WWE Superstars
don't go back and try to do something.
[JR] Hey, they were lectured. They were lectured.
"Do not cross The Boss." And look, there's a near fall.
[Lawler] That don't mean don't help The Boss.
[JR] Well, he laid down the edict did Mr. McMahon
at the very beginning of the program.
And I don't think anybody wants to cross Austin.
What's Austin got to lose?
And a lot of folks can identify for being unnecessarily fired
by a power-hungry boss.
[Lawler] Oh, yeah. Right.
[JR] What did Austin do to become the most popular
WWE Superstar of all time?
[Lawler] He was ill-bred, ill-mannered, uncouth,
and he was an embarrassment to the WWE that's why--
Uh-oh. Oh!
[JR] This is not the Ivy League by the way.
Nice Fallaway Slam by The Rock.
Still to come, the Casket Match,
The Undertaker and Kane, it's Kane's challenge.
Paul Bearer is back with The Undertaker, that collision is live tonight.
In addition, Mankind is gonna take on Val Venis.
[Lawler] Poor D-Lo is smelling what The Rock's cooking but--
Oh, uh-oh, my gosh.
Planted him.
[JR] DDT by The Rock.
[Lawler] No.
[JR] Sixteen men will complete at Survivor Series, folks,
for the WWE title.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Oh, no. Look at the people.
[JR] The people wanna see the People's Elbow.
[Lawler] Here he comes.
[JR] And they're gonna ask for it and The Rock will deliver it.
And he moved the elbow over to catch D-Lo on the shoulder.
You see what D-Lo's holding that arm across that chest protector,
gives D-Lo an unfair advantage.
[Lawler] He blocked most of that People's Elbow, thank goodness.
-[JR] Uh-oh, D-Lo got caught. -[Lawler] Oh, no!
[JR] He got caught in the Rock Bottom.
-[Lawler] Oh! -[JR] Yes!
[Lawler] He's got no back protector.
[JR] Rock just drilled D-Lo.
And The Rock has just defeated D-Lo Brown.
And Mark Henry, he comes to get some.
The Rock hammering away now.
-Uh-oh. But D-Lo back up. -[Lawler] Here you go.
[JR] We got a two-on-one situation here.
[Lawler] Well, they're gonna lay the smackdown on The Rock.
-[JR] Oh, Mark Henry-- -[Lawler] Oh!
[JR] Oh!
The Rock stretched out there.
And Mark Henry, the 400-pounder.
Got referees, officials now trying…
to restrain Mark Henry and D-Lo Brown.
Boy, The Rock's been-- He maybe busted up internally here.
[Lawler] Watch him. He's gonna do it again.
[JR] Come on.
[Lawler] I think I'd rather be sued by Mark Henry than splashed by him.
[JR] Well, Mark Henry and D-Lo Brown never quite a auspicious pair here.
[Lawler] Mark, go back there and see if you can help Mr. McMahon.
[D-Lo] Who laid the smackdown on who?
[JR] That's the two of them and The Rock didn't want any help.
Well, there's gonna be some hell to pay for these two.
You better recognize, Rock.
[JR] I think The Rock recognized plenty.
♪ Do you smell what The Rock is cooking? ♪
["Do You Smell It?" playing]

Are you gonna find out just how sharp this knife is?
No! No, no, no.
-Please. -Relax, man.
If you think I was going to stick this shiny knife in your sorry gut,
is that what you thought?
You're dumber than I thought you were.
I'm gonna take you, Vince. I'm gonna take your ass tonight,
but you ain't gonna feel a damn thing.
And you can rest assured, when you go, you go just like that.
That's simple, man, it's that simple.
I am.
I, uh…
I hope you're having fun.
Man, I'm having a blast.
I'm having a great time.
This is swell time for Steve Austin.
You're never gonna get away with it.
You'll never.
I mean, you're not gonna get away with it.
Get away with what?
I said I was going huntin'.
Hell, I went hunting. I got a bow to prove it.
The problem is, Vince,
I didn't get a deer, today I got a jackass.
Do you ever see the way one of these things work?
Have you ever seen a bow, Vince? Do you know anything about this?
[JR] Well, I tell you one thing, Mr. McMahon has never been
in this situation, anything even remotely resembling it in his entire…
-In my country… -…life.
…I am known as something of a gourmet.
I eat only the finest meals and delicacies.
But in America,
you peasants eat the most horrible things.
You eat meat from cans,
the rump of a cow,
and even pig's intestines.
[JR] You know, this guy can go back home and make a living, doing something else.
He thinks he's better than everybody,
-this Tiger Ali Singh. -My man servant, Babu, is quite a chef
but even he does not wish
to prepare these meals because they are so disgusting.
[Lawler] He does come from a superior culture.
But tonight, I'm ordering Babu
so I can illustrate to the world
how vulgar your American appetites are.
I will pay $500 cash.
[Lawler] The hands go up.
To anyone of you that is able to come in the ring
and swallow Babu's kielbasa.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Look at me.
Let me see a show of hands.
Is there anyone here that is able to swallow
Babu's kielbasa whole?
[Lawler] Whoa! In whole?
Babu, pick the American peasant.
[JR] Tiger Ali Singh is one of the bigger jerks, folks,
you'll ever come across,
born out of privilege, silver spoon in his mouth.
[Lawler] He's pointing at you, JR.
-He's pointing at you. -[JR] Well, he's an idiot.
-He's a blithering idiot. -[Lawler] Wait a minute.
He's pointing-- Look right behind us.
-[JR] Oh. -[Tiger] I want the WWE security…
-[JR] Oh, good Lord. -…to usher in the American woman.
[Lawler] Whoa.
What is--
I'm not sure I get this.
What's he asking to do? To swallow that whole?
[JR] That's the way I get it.
-Stand over in here, please. -[JR] For 500 bucks from the rich boy.
You know the deal, I will give you $500 cash
if you can swallow Babu's kielbasa whole--
The whole thing, yes, yeah.
-[Lawler] That's 12 inches long. -Babu, if you will present the kielbasa.
[crowd chattering]
[Tiger] Oh!
[JR] Good God Almighty.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Whoa!
What's she doing after the show?
[Tiger] Babu, pay the woman. Once again, I've proven
there's no limit for how low an American peasant will go.
[speaking other language]
-[laughs] -[Lawler] She wants to do it again.
-[JR] Now? -[Lawler] Yeah, yes.
[Kama] Hold up, hold up there, big money.
[crowd cheering]
-[JR] It's The Godfather. -Oh, yeah.
[JR] You know pimpin' ain't easy.
Hey, my brother.
There seems to be an old American custom
or should I say pimpin' custom…
[crowd cheering]
-[Lawler] The girl's got a talent. -…that I need to hip you to.
You see, once a hoe takes on a pimp,
man, she pays that pimp for the rest of her life.
Oh, yeah.
And guess what,
that right there, that used to be one of my hoes.
[Lawler] What?
[JR] So that's what a résumé looks like.
And as you can tell by what she did,
man, she was a good hoe.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Well.
[Lawler] Does she look familiar to you, JR?
So what I want you to do,
take it as a lesson learned
but see, a brother got to get paid. [laughs]
Okay, babe, how you doing?
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I wanted an amateur, not a professional.
[laughs]
Amateur-- I tell you what,
I'm gonna put it in a way that even you can understand.
What you just paid this girl here $500 for,
you could have had the whole night for a hell of a lot cheaper.
How you doing, baby? Give me…
[JR] Tiger Ali tried to use little Babu as a shield.
Now, Tiger Ali Singh,
trying to get him some with The Godfather.
-Look out. -[Lawler] Look out.
[JR] Oh, Babu just got--
He just got slammed almost to the canvas here.
[shouting indistinctly]
[JR] If I were Tiger Ali Singh,
I'd hop back in my taxi and get out of here.
[Lawler] We had a match going here.
Well, I kind of like this.
-Well, I can see… -[Lawler] I don't like her too much--
[JR] I'm not talking about her, darn it.
[Lawler] Oh.
What's up?
Do you see that? Do you need a better look?
Let's get you up here. I know you got bad eyesight.
-[Mr. McMahon] No, no. I see it. -Let's get you up.
-You see that? -I see it.
You see it?
[Mr. McMahon] I see it.
What are you-- What are you all nervous for?
Do you think that was meant for you?
Do you think that was meant for you, Vince?
No, no, no, no, no, but look at you.
Look at your face. I look at you and you remind me--
You remember Ned Beatty?
You remember the movie Deliverance, right? You saw that, you know.
-[JR] Oh, no. -♪ Na, na, na, na, na, na ♪
Deliverance, right? You saw that.
[Lawler] Oh, no.
-I remember. -You remember… Shut up.
You remember the part where you made the guy squeal.
-[Lawler] Oh, no. -You made him squeal.
You know, that… That's what I think I like for you to do right now.
I was going maybe if you can squeal like a pig for me.
And I think that you can squeal like a pig, Vince.
Do it, squeal for me.
You understand me? I said squeal, son.
Start squealing like a pig.
Oink, oink.
[scoffs] Is that the best you can do?
Give my damn bow. Are you gonna squeal?
-Are you gonna-- -Oink, oink!
-Louder! -Oink, oink, oink!
-Squeal! -Oink, oink, oink!
-Yes! Yes! -Oink, oink, oink, oink, oink…
[JR] We're back, ladies and gentlemen.
Mr. McMahon held hostage by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
…I was wondering, have you ever seen that movie--
I mean, not that, we've already covered that.
Did you see the movie Misery?
Did you see that movie?
It was funny because when Kathy Bates, she got James Caan
because she was like an obsessed fan, he broke down in his…
So she took him in the house, right?
And then because she got mad at him, she put this two-by-four between his legs
and she got a big sledgehammer, she ran back, wham!
She broke his damn legs.
I was just wondering if, you know, maybe if she could do that
because it seemed kind of far-fetched
and, you know, a two-by-four is gonna really--
-Help! -Hold it.
-Help! -You just happen to have a two-by-four
between your legs, son.
-I guess that means all I have to do… -Help!
…is find a sledgehammer, right?
-Help! -Well, that's why…
Shut up!
-Help. -Shut up, man.
You're making me sick. You're making way too much noise.
Shut up. I have something for you.
That's gonna hold you. Don't make a sound.
Let me go find a sledgehammer and we're gonna do this.
We're gonna find out if that can really work.
So you're not gonna go anywhere, right?
You promise you're not gonna go anywhere.
You promise, Vince. You're a man of your words, I know that.
I've been dealing with you for a long time.
You're not gonna go anywhere, right?
I know that you weren't. I can trust you.
Yeah, because you're a good kid.
And I'm gonna be right back, okay?
I'll be right back and I don't want you to go anywhere.
And everything's gonna be okay.
You trust me on this, right?
Good. You stay there.
["Schizophrenic" playing]
[JR] Uh-oh. Austin looking for a sledgehammer.
Vince McMahon under siege.
[Lawler] This is ridiculous, JR.
Somebody has got to do something.
[bell ringing]
[Chimel] The following contest is scheduled for one fall
with a 20-minute time limit.
Making its way to the ring, he weighs in at 287 pounds,
Mankind!
[JR] Mankind offered kindness, offered empathy to Mr. McMahon,
and that was shoved right up Mankind's face.
[Lawler] Oh, come on, he was trying to play Twister.
[JR] Well, big deal.
[Lawler] Get back there right now.
[JR] …back there right now, wouldn't he?
[Lawler] Why didn't he go back there?
[JR] But, folks, early tonight,
Mankind's hottest rival right now on the WWE, Ken Shamrock,
took on X-Pac.
Mankind came out and certainly made his presence felt
that led to Ken Shamrock losing to X-Pac, King.
[Lawler] Right. Shamrock tied to go for the old big suplex there
but he got the Mandible Claw instead.
-[crowd cheering] -And then X-Pac finished him off.
[JR] X-Pac getting some retaliation from losing in the Intercontinental finals
last week and we've seen lot of Socko references here as of late.
["Hello Ladies" playing]
♪ Hello ladies ♪
[Chimel] And his opponent,
being accompanied to the ring by Terri Runnels,
from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 244 pounds,
Val Venis!
[JR] Well, folks, if you didn't join us at Judgment Day
in Chicago last night,
certainly the opportunity to see it
on the encore presentation is tomorrow night on pay-per-view
but certainly last night, it was Goldust and Val Venis, one-on-one.
And Terri Runnels, the estranged wife of Goldust
tried to interfere in the match.
And Val had to put on the brakes from keeping--
From knocking Terri off the apron there, King.
[Lawler] I know it was close.
And then the poor guy-- Oh, my God,
he got it right in The Big Valbowski.
Whoa.
[JR] Valbowski may be a little bit worse for wear here
but I really don't--
It doesn't really concern me, as a matter of fact.
[Lawler] It's swollen more than usual.
[JR] How would you know that?
[Lawler] Well, look, you got eyes.
Hello, ladies.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] I'm surprised his voice isn't higher.
You know something, a lot of wrestlers have been to Hollywood.
But, you know, a few years back
when The Big Valbowski auditioned for the movie Anaconda,
I said to the producers,
"Take a good look at this snake coming at you."
And a star was on the rise.
[crowd cheering]
-[bell ringing] -[JR] Oh, good Lord.
[Lawler] It's almost Halloween.
[JR] I reckon it is.
Well… I'll tell you, folks, it's…
[Lawler] Is it cold in here?
[JR] I wanna tell you one thing. It's dark and cold
where Mr. McMahon is right now.
Can you imagine the owner of this company sitting duct-taped
to his wheelchair, his mouth taped shut?
Part of James Caan played by Mr. McMahon,
and Austin's looking for a sledgehammer as we speak.
And Val not quite at a--
Maybe he's not up to it tonight, I don't know, here with Mankind.
[Lawler] Well, Mankind seemed to be hobbled a little bit himself.
[JR] Big week for the WWE as we mentioned,
tomorrow night in Madison, Wisconsin.
We're excited about that, the home of the Badgers,
gonna be in Green Bay on Wednesday.
-[Lawler] Mötley Crüe will be there. -[JR] Exactly.
Rockford, Illinois, on Thursday, and then down in The Carolinas,
Charlotte on Friday night, Greensboro on Saturday night,
and then finishing off the week at five o'clock this Sunday
in Madison Square Garden.
Val Venis, side Russian leg sweep on Mankind.
-I'll tell you what, King-- -[Lawler] Wait a minute.
Like all of those cities you mentioned,
you don't think "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will show up in those cities, do you?
-He's fired. -[JR] What surprised me--
-[Lawler] Look at that. -[JR] That is the Valbowski fan club.
Their nice little towels wrapped around.
Their mom and daddies must be proud of them, right?
We're glad they're here.
And once and for all, Austin's gonna go wherever he wants
if he can make it out of here tonight in one piece.
[Lawler] If he shows up in those places, if he goes there,
he won't get paid, he's fired.
[JR] Well, he is fired.
And he's no longer on a payroll with the WWE.
Knowing Austin, he doesn't fight for free, he's not--
But this night is far from over.
I mean, the repercussions of tonight
may cost Austin severely, as if he cares.
He doesn't care, that's just The Rattlesnake's nature.
[Lawler] I got a feeling that if Mr. McMahon ever gets out of this,
there's gonna be a lot more people fired for not going to his rescue.
[JR] I don't think Austin regrets anything he's done.
And I just hope that he doesn't take it too far here.
I mean…
[Lawler] Come on, take it too far, he's already taking it too far.
He's a nut.
He's liable to do anything, JR.
[JR] Little Jezebel, Terri Runnels out here
in the outside with that wanted look in her eyes.
-[Lawler] Oh, no. -[JR] Oh!
That's not gonna do Val Venis any favors there.
He may need a rehab or therapy himself.
[Lawler] This has been a bad week for The Big Valbowski.
Oh, no.
[JR] Nice elevation by Mankind on Val Venis.
Val Venis and Goldust--
Oh, boy, you got to believe…
[Lawler] I wonder if that woman that was with Tiger Ali Singh
and The Big Valbowski ever-- Nah, never mind.
[JR] You've got a real nasty mind sometimes.
-[Lawler] Oh, my gosh. -[JR] Oh, DDT.
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh.
[JR] Big time move by Mankind who had a hell of a match
-last night with Shamrock. -What's he doing? Oh, no.
[JR] Mr. Socko's up.
[Lawler] That damn Socko.
Hey, ref, Socko.
[JR] Ken Shamrock felt this at Judgment Day,
Val Venis is feeling Mr. Socko right here.
-Wait a minute. -[Lawler] Look at this.
[JR] There's Ken Shamrock.
Shamrock out of here with the-- Oh, right in the knee,
Shamrock with a steel chair right in the knee.
He popped Mankind right in the knee joint.
Hey, Chioda-- No, don't do it.
[bell ringing]
["Hello Ladies" playing]
-Well, Shamrock… -[Chimel] Here is your winner,
Val Venis!
[JR] Ken Shamrock-- Oh, Mankind--
Mankind is-- He's gonna give himself a Shamrock.
-These two want to tear each other apart. -[Lawler] Watch it.
[JR] Shamrock goes for the ride into the steps.
Shamrock's the Intercontinental Champion,
and man, this is-- These two are gonna wage war
anywhere and wherever they can get their hands on each other.
And are swept through the crowd here in Milwaukee.
[Lawler] I can't believe it.
[JR] Shamrock and Val Venis--
Or Shamrock and Mankind have--
Where did they go? They disappeared in the crowd.
-No, wait, oh, Mankind's got that chair. -[Lawler] Look out.
[JR] He just nailed Shamrock with the chair, did Mankind.
[crowd cheering]
It is chaotic and absolutely unpredictable here tonight.
What else in goodness' name is gonna happen here?
Well, Val Venis got a gift.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[crowd cheering]
["Golden" playing]
[JR] Is the Big Gold One here?
[Lawler] What else is gonna happen?
[Goldust] Nothing is over, Val, nothing.
You can't just turn it off.
First blood in 1982.
I am gonna shatter your dreams
again and again
and again so that you will never
forget the name of… [inhales]
Goldust.
[JR] Well, I'll tell you, yeah, the war is still going on between--
Well, Terri trying to-- Terri Runnels trying to calm Val down apparently.
Val is really distracted here with Goldust and rightfully so.
After the competitive match last night at Judgment Day.
[Lawler] What is she doing?
[JR] Whispering something into his ear.
Well, she's talking about the-- Whatever she told him but…
I don't think Val is very happy with the news, whatever it was.
[Lawler] What's up with that?
[JR] I don't know what's going on here with Terri Runnels
and Val Venis for goodness' sake.
-[Lawler] Oh, no. -[JR] Uh-oh.
[mumbling indistinctly]
I've always wanted to know if that would really work.
We'd just find out for the better because, I mean,
really that's the thing between you and me, it's not really about me.
Now I'm not here to make you suffer physical pain.
You know, I'm not to, you know, discount the fact that last night,
you fired me in front of the world, didn't you?
And you feel really good about that, don't you?
No, Vince, I got bigger plans for you than that.
I got way bigger plans for you than that,
and you can rest your damn bottom dollar
that I'm gonna carry them out, you know what I'm saying?
I'm gonna carry the plans out tonight.
-Steve… -And when-- Shut up, you're pathetic.
You're completely pathetic.
And when I carry these plans out,
-you're rest assured, Vince… -Please.
…no, you won't feel a damn thing.
[cries softly]
[JR] Won't feel a thing? What's he mean?
I want you to relax.
You're gonna go get some fresh air. I'm gonna take it easy on you.
I don't want you having a heart attack. Relax a little bit.
You're having fun, right? Right?
We'll watch little TV here.
Do you like watching TV with Stone Cold, huh?
We got a big match coming up there.
You remember that, there was a show,
You Bet Your Life, you know that?
-Do you know You Bet Your Life? -Yeah.
We're gonna play a little game here. Hell, we're having a good time.
Kane and The Undertaker about to fight here, okay?
So what's you're gonna do is you're gonna pick either Kane
or The Undertaker, you got it?
Uh-huh.
Who are you gonna pick?
I don't wanna choose anybody.
You're gonna have to choose somebody, do you understand?
You've got-- You haven't chosen someone else yet.
-We're having fun, choose somebody. -Kane. Kane. Kane.
-Okay. Well, let's look at this way. -Kane.
If Kane wins, I give you the benefit of the doubt
and we'll do things the easy way, okay?
Now, if there's any other outcome in the match,
we're gonna do things the hard way,
the "Stone Cold" Steve Austin way.
-Do I make myself clear, buddy? -[crowd cheering]
Let's do this and watch this TV. Man, this is great.
[JR] Well, ladies and gentlemen, McMahon held hostage
by Austin who is regrettably armed and obviously dangerous.
["Burned" playing]
[Lawler] He bet his life.
[JR] Oh!
[bell ringing]
[Chimel] The following is a Casket Match.
Making his way to the ring,
and he weighs in at 326 pounds,
Kane!
[JR] Kane and The Undertaker met at Judgment Day just 24 hours ago.
And then they've had the-- It was a shocking situation
when Paul Bearer came to the ring.
We thought Paul Bearer, armed with a steel chair,
was going to strike The Undertaker.
But when Paul Bearer talked his own son
into turning his back, Paul Bearer struck Kane from behind.
And that led to The Undertaker grabbing the chair and striking Kane
with the most vile shot to the head that maybe we've ever seen.
Kane went down, was out.
But Stone Cold did not count The Undertaker's--
Raise The Undertaker's hand. Kept Kane down.
Of course, the consequences were Austin got fired because of it.
-[Lawler] Right. -[JR] But we do not have-- Oh!
[Lawler] Ah!
[JR] …a WWE Champion.
And of course, early tonight, Kane made a challenge
for this Casket Match that was accepted.
Well, folks, the 1998 Survivor Series
is proudly presented by Nestlé Crunch, Survivor Series emanates
from the Kiel Center in St. Louis, Missouri, on Sunday, November 15th.
Nestlé Crunch is just more fun than much.
[bell tolling]
["Dark Side" playing]
-[fireworks exploding] -[JR] Oh!
[Chimel] And his opponent,
being accompanied to the ring by Paul Bearer,
from Death Valley,
weighing in at 328 pounds,
The Undertaker!
[JR] The Undertaker is the undisputed master
-of the Casket Matches. -[Lawler] Right.
[JR] And of course, the object of the Casket Match
is that falls do not count in a Casket Match.
The only way to win the contest is to place
your opponent inside the casket and shut the lid.
[Lawler] And why? Why did--
With Vince McMahon, he's playing You Bet Your Life
choose Kane?
-[JR] Why not? -[Lawler] Well, because that man
is the master of the Casket Match,
however, I do remember a Casket Match
one time between these two individuals.
[bell ringing]
-[JR] Yeah. -The casket was set on fire.
[JR] The casket was ignited by these unholy powers of these two.
And Kane, the younger, the bigger, the stronger
-brother of The Undertaker. -[Lawler] They're both huge.
[JR] No doubt about that, The Undertaker is six-ten and a half.
Kane is just the same, under seven feet.
Kane going about 330 pounds, I think he has about ten pounds,
maybe less on The Undertaker.
Bottom line is Paul Bearer is back with The Undertaker,
that could be the wildcard in this matchup.
And you got to think that both of these men
could be a part of that big 16-Man Single Elimination Tournament
at the Survivor Series.
And much like last night, The Undertaker attempted
to destroy Kane's vertical base, he's going right back
after that quadriceps, that thigh muscle again.
-[Lawler] Oh! -[JR] As The Phenom goes airborne.
And looks for the cover but a quick kickout,
there's no covers, remember.
[Lawler] Do you realize what kind of stakes are riding on this match?
This is so much more than just a Casket Match.
I mean, Mr. McMahon hangs in the balance here.
He's back there being held hostage by an idiot, a nut, a psycho.
[JR] You know, King, one of the traits of a rattlesnake
is that they don't think twice about striking their victims.
Mr. McMahon tonight is a victim.
He knows how it feels to be… To be controlled, to be--
Totally powerless,
that's what has happened to Mr. McMahon here tonight.
-[Lawler] Oh. -[JR] What a move by The Undertaker,
what a DDT.
-And Kane, sat right up. -[Lawler] Good.
[JR] Well, because Mr. McMahon has predicted that Kane will win here,
you're pulling for The Big Red Machine.
[Lawler] Well, what do you think?
I mean, do you wanna give the idiot "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
just a license-- Look out, oh, no.
He's in there.
[JR] Well, they got to… The lid has to be shut,
both men, both The Undertaker and Kane are inside the casket here.
[Lawler] I mean, let's face it, Mr. McMahon has bet his life on this,
and his life is worth much more than anybody else's around here,
he's the owner of this company.
[JR] Kane now, with a distinct advantage
on his brother, The Undertaker.
A low blow but no disqualifications in these Casket Matches,
they are really, really physical, survival of the fittest,
shall we say, in this environment.
And a DDT, The Undertaker
delivering a DDT on his brother in the casket.
-And then… -[Lawler] Wait a minute.
[JR] …the lid is shut.
[referee] They're both in there.
[JR] They're both in the casket, what's Paul Bearer got in his hand,
is that a chair.
Kane and The Undertaker are fighting.
-[Lawler] Look at this. -[JR] And they're--
Kane and The Undertaker are destroying the casket.
There's got to be a-- Well, if we don't have a casket,
it's gonna be hard to have a winner here.
[Lawler] Will it-- Oh, my gosh.
[JR] Can you believe these two?
These two monsters are destroying this casket,
I mean, literally destroying this casket.
I've never seen anything quite like this.
[Lawler] Get up, Kane.
[JR] The match has got to continue but I don't know… I don't know how
simply because the casket is essentially has been destroyed.
Undertaker with a headbutt, outside comes Kane.
Man. We are in a dilemma here, what would the officials do?
[Lawler] I know one thing, I don't think these guys care
with the casket destroyed, and I don't think either-- Oh!
I don't think either Kane or Undertaker cares
what happens to Mr. McMahon.
[JR] Kane caught The Undertaker coming off the apron
and powering him back into the-- Into the ring and now Kane
has his sight set on Paul Bearer, his own father.
-He… -[Lawler] What's gonna happen?
[JR] Well, Paul Bearer running away,
that's the smartest thing he's done all night, is run away from Kane.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[JR] Here comes The Undertaker.
-[Lawler] With a chair. -With a chair.
Oh, God, did you hear that?
It sounded like a rifle shot.
[Lawler] Don't say that.
[JR] Kane nailed from behind by his brother
and somewhere, somewhere soon,
these two men
are gonna be able to get at each other one more time.
If there's anything left of Kane here tonight.
Kane maybe destroyed just like the casket.
Paul Bearer, what a--
What a hideous-- Uh-oh, well, Kane is up.
Kane is up and he's got-- He's got the chair,
he's going after The Undertaker and Paul Bearer.
[Lawler] Well, what is… What's gonna happen?
-[JR] Referee is a little… -[speaking indistinctly]
It was that close. Oh, man.
But the bottom line is, well, son, you lose.
You lose, Vince. That means Stone Cold's
got something he's got to do and unfortunately
you got to come with me for me to do it.
-No, Steve, please. -No?
-Please. -No?
-Don't. -You're telling me don't?
-Don't do this. -Oh, you're a pile of…
Oh, what a piece of work you are.
-[JR] Where are they going? -Please, please, don't.
Don't do this, please.
-Please don't do this. -Say please one more time.
[Stone Cold] Party time, son, here we go.
-No. -Yep, yes, we're gonna have some fun.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] It looks like McMahon and Austin are on their way
out here to the arena, King.
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh.
[Stone Cold] It was pretty easy on this.
[Lawler] He's gonna come out here in front of all these people,
he's gonna do something stupid.
[overlapping chatter]
[Stone Cold] There we go.
Austin and McMahon are obviously on their way here to the arena
as we speak and one can only assume what Stone Cold
has on his mind for Vince McMahon.
Well, I think it's obvious what he's got on his mind,
he's got a bow and arrow, he's got guns,
and he's been holding--
He's been holding Mr. McMahon hostage for two hours now.
[JR] Yeah, it was Mr. McMahon that said that
firing Austin on Judgment Day…
[Stone Cold] Nothing to worry about because I'm gonna do everything.
[JR] …was better than sex,
what kind of evil human being would even…
You got a bad leg, I understood that's why I'm gonna take care of you.
No.
[Stone Cold continues indistinctly]
[JR] That was…
[Mr. McMahon] Please.
[JR] We mentioned Austin felt last night when he was fired--
Can somebody… Can somebody not reason with this guy?
Well, let's get a hostage negotiator.
You're a pretty good talker, what don't you go do it?
Good grief. I don't know--
We don't know-- Nobody wants to get involved in this situation or…
Well, somebody's gonna have to.
Austin is armed, for God's sakes, the man is armed.
So what, are you gonna stand by and let him come out here
and do whatever he's gonna do with Mr. Vince McMahon?
Well, I'm not on the security detail--
Is he bringing him out here or what?
Have you ever been fired?
The man's fired me before so I can tell you how it feels.
-Not damn well good. -When you get fired
you go somewhere else and you get another job.
[JR] I already tried it at first, so Austin is gonna go postal?
[Lawler] Yeah, well, exactly.
I mean, I'm telling-- You're telling me you're not worried about that?
Yes, I'm worried about it.
-Let's do something. -I don't want to make--
I don't want Austin to make a mistake that
the rest of us will regret for the rest of our lives.
-He wouldn't have any regrets. -Where is he?
-I don't know. -What is going on back there?
And what does Austin mean when he says it's gonna be
just like that and McMahon won't feel a thing?
I have no earthly idea and I don't even wanna speculate.
What could it mean, folks?
Can you morons in the truck tell us what's going on back there?
Where's your camera? What is happening?
Well, McMahon humiliated Austin in front of the world
last night at Judgment Day.
He was fired on the spot, unceremoniously,
Cold, uncaring, and callous.
Where is he?
-[JR] We are waiting. -Has something already happened?
You folks at home, you were excluded in this situation as we are
as we tried to keep on our monitors here to see what may transpire.
Again, we could only speculate what maybe going through
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin's mind.
A lot of folks can identify with being unnecessarily fired.
Can anybody hear me?
Can anybody tell us what's happening?
Well, again, we await whatever the fate, whatever the results,
the outcome, or what's gonna happen here,
-is anybody's guess. -What was that noise?
[JR] I really don't know.
I'd like not to think in that context.
-[Lawler] Oh, no. Look. -[JR] Here they come.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Mr. McMahon and Austin.
And, folks, this is, uh, one of the most extraordinary
situations that I have ever witnessed in my 20-year career.
[Lawler] He can't get out of that chair.
This man is not-- Stone Cold is not even supposed to be here.
Oh, and look what he's got.
[JR] Austin attired in hunting gear,
allegedly was hunting earlier today,
Mr. McMahon with an injured knee or ankle that is.
[Lawler] We better get behind something.
[JR] Let's just hope and pray it doesn't come to that.
[crowd cheering]
[chuckles] Look at you.
Look at you, Vince.
Hell, earlier, he was out here bragging and throwing
some big party without "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
Hell, I think I missed that.
Go ahead and throw up the little party they had
on the TitanTron so I can check it out myself.
-[JR] Earlier tonight. -Put it-- Oh, here we go.
Hopefully, no one in that ring
will ever cross The Boss,
because none of you
are as big as Vince McMahon.
[crowd booing]
You know, all that Austin 3:16
paraphernalia out there, T-shirts, what have you.
Another rumor going around
that it's going like hotcakes,
because now Austin 3:16, that's a collector's item, you see.
Now, there's a new expression.
A new expression that's gonna be sweeping the nation,
sweeping the globe,
and that's McMahon 3:16.
[Lawler] Please turn that off.
[crowd booing]
-And McMahon 3:16 says… -[Lawler] Please turn it off.
…I've got the brass to fire your ass.
[Lawler] Oh!
[Stone Cold] Look up there, Vince.
Look up there. Oh, look.
So cocky, you think you're so damn cool?
You think you own everybody, look at you.
Take a good look, Vince, please.
And now, look at you now.
You're pathetic, on your knees,
crying in front of the world.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] How humiliating for the owner of this company.
[Stone Cold] You made me sick, Vince. And I'll tell you what.
[Lawler] Oh, no.
I got a little something that I want you to read,
because this is gonna bring a few more tears to your eyes,
once you read this little letter right here.
And I'll tell you this.
[Lawler] What's that?
Where you're going when the devil reads that,
hell, that son of a bitch is gonna be pretty pissed off himself.
So, I guess that means, Vince, I only got one little thing to do.
And what I want you to do
is look up in that screen…
Take that off. I want Vince's picture on the screen.
Look up at the screen, Vince,
because your eyes are fixing to pop out in front of your head.
[Lawler] No.
[JR] Come on, Steve.
[Stone Cold] If you want Vince's eyes to pop out
in front of his head, give me a "Hell yeah."
-[crowd] Hell yeah! -[Lawler] No!
[JR] Steve, take it easy, now.
Oh, my God.
[horn squeaks]
[JR] Oh, no.
-[crowd laughing] -Oh, my. It's a toy.
-[Lawler] What? -[JR] It's a toy.
Austin was armed with a toy.
-[Lawler] That is not funny. -You got to remember, Vince.
It wasn't "Stone Cold" Steve Austin that screwed Vince McMahon,
but it was Vince McMahon that screwed Vince McMahon.
[crowd cheering]
And I think you got a little problem there, and…
I think we got another t-shirt on the way.
And I think that t-shirt might just say,
McMahon 3:16,
says, I just pissed my pants.
[Lawler] Oh, no.
[JR] Oh, no, how humiliating, how degrading.
Oh, look out. Austin got McMahon again.
["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing]
[JR] This is the most humiliating,
degrading night in Vince McMahon's life.
The unemployed Rattlesnake that struck…
[Lawler] He's fired.
He's supposed to even be here.
Look at Vince McMahon…
[JR] He's the toughest unemployed SOB in America.
[Lawler] Don't put the camera on Mr. McMahon's pants.
[JR] "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
has duped Mr. McMahon with a toy.
And now, The Boss knows what it feels like to be humiliated
in front of the world.
[Lawler] His pants are wet.
[JR] Mr. McMahon wet himself for goodness sake.
Oh, this is--
What's in that letter?
Look out.
-[Lawler] Oh, no. -Oh, not again and again.
The Rattlesnake strikes.

[indistinct chatter]
[crowd chanting] Asshole! Asshole! Asshole!
[crowd member whistling]
[crowd chattering]
[indistinct shouting]
-Sit right here. -[Mr. McMahon sobbing]
[crowd chattering]
Move forward.
[sobbing loudly]
I'm sorry, Mr. McMahon.
