[intro music playing]
-[Lawler] Oh! -[JR] Low blow Stunner!
-[Lawler] Oh no! Another Stunner. -[JR] That's gotta be it.
-[Lawler] But there's no referee. -[JR] There's Shane McMahon.
Two, three!
-[crowd cheering] -[JR] Wait, three, three!
-[Lawler] What? -[JR] Where's three?
[JR] What? What?
What the…
-Damn it! -[Lawler] What?
Shane McMahon, he didn't count down Austin.

[crowd cheering]
[crowd whistling]
Yeah!
Whoo!
[crowd yelling]
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce the owners
of the World Wrestling Entertainment.
-[crowd booing] -[announcer] Shane and Mr. McMahon.
[JR] Well, here they come, ladies and gentlemen,
the controversial ownership of the World Wrestling Entertainment,
Vince and Shane McMahon.
And after last night,
I don't know how they can stand to even look themselves in the mirror
after screwing Steve Austin out of the WWE Title
and the largest sports entertainment crowd in the 25-year history
of Rupp Arena here in Lexington, Kentucky,
on hand here to see what Mr. McMahon is gonna say about the obvious collusion.
The conspiracy that the McMahon family perpetrated on "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,
resulting in The Rock becoming the new WWE Champion
at Deadly Game: The Survivor Series.
And The Rattlesnake is here. And we are live.
And this should be an interesting address.
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
[Lawler] There goes that chant again, JR.
I'm ashamed of these people here in Lexington.
Thank you for that warm, Kentucky reception.
[crowd booing]
Last night at the Survivor Series,
my son, Shane, and I proved
that whoever it was that said,
you can't fool all of the people, all of the time,
was a damn fool.
[Lawler laughs] Right.
[booing continues]
A damn fool is someone who insists on doing things the hard way.
A damn fool is someone who embraces
middle class ethics and values.
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
[Mr. McMahon] Oh, yeah. Yeah.
And a damn fool…
A damn fool is someone who doesn't pucker up
and kiss the boss's ass.
[crowd booing]
-[JR] Well, that's cutting to the chase. -Wait a minute.
Now don't tell me all of you don't kiss the boss's ass.
I know you do. You probably just don't kiss it enough.
[Lawler laughing]
[JR] You find humor in that remark?
-[Lawler] No, it's truth. -Right now,
I would like to introduce you to someone who certainly
is no damn fool.
Oh, no.
He's not The People's Champion, he never was.
He's always been my champion.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the World Wrestling Entertainment Champion,
The Corporate Champion.
Ladies and gentlemen,
The Rock!
[mixed cheers and boos]
[The Rock] Do you smell what The Rock is cooking?
-["Electrifying" playing] -[crowd booing, cheering]
♪ The Rock says… The Rock says… The Rock says… ♪
[Lawler] Well, there you see it, ladies and gentlemen,
the new World Wrestling Entertainment Champion.
-[JR] A Corporate butt-smooching champion. -[Lawler] Hey!
[JR] The Rock sold out. The Rock took the easy way to get ahead.
Whatever happened to principles and values and morals?
[Lawler] Oh, like these people have values.
You heard Mr. McMahon say, "Where the hell are their values?"
And another one of those "butt-smooching" remarks from you,
and The Rock will come over here and lay some smackdown on you, JR.
♪ The Rock says… ♪
♪ The Rock says… The Rock says… The Rock says… ♪
[JR] It took the whole darn front office to keep "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
from once again, becoming the WWE Champion.
[Lawler] Oh-ho. Look at that.
[crowd booing]
[Lawler] What a picture!
Look at that million-dollar smile on The Rock.
Ladies and gentlemen, listen up the The Rock.
♪ The Rock says… ♪
[crowd booing]
[JR] He should be ashamed of himself.
You know, Mr. McMahon,
all day long, The Rock's phone has been ringing off the hook.
And the message has been clear.
"Why, Rock, why, did you sell out?"
[JR] Good question.
Well actually, The Rock never sold out.
The Rock just got ahead.
Now,
will some of you call The Rock a kiss-ass?
[crowd cheering]
Well, I'm sure you will.
Because quite frankly,
you are all unintelligent pieces
of trailer-park trash.
[crowd booing]
[JR] Whoa!
[The Rock] Do you smell it?
I smell what The Rock is cooking.
Now, you pieces of trash
you work your candy-asses off
day after day after day,
nine-to-five, for minimum wage.
Well, The Rock did what The Rock had to do to get to the top of the world
and that is him standing smack dab in the middle of the corporate ring,
your WWE World Champion.
[crowd cheering, booing]
[Lawler] Clap for him, JR.
[JR] Not a chance.
Now sure, you pieces of trash, you work hard
you do what you have to do, day after day.
And quite frankly,
you're all no different from a big piece,
the biggest piece of trailer-park trash
in "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[crowd booing]
Well, I'll tell you what.
You and Austin,
you can have your morality.
You can have your honesty.
-You can have your blood-- -[crowd chanting] Austin! Austin! Austin!
[Lawler] Wait now, people, show some respect!
[chanting continues]
[Lawler] This is the new WWE Champion!
[JR] Respect is earned.
It's not awarded. It's not an endowment.
You can have your blood, your sweat and your tears.
I'll tell you what, all that hard work,
fifty cents couldn't buy you a cup of redneck coffee.
[crowd booing]
Now…
"Die, Rocky, Die."
"Rocky Sucks."
[crowd cheering]
[JR] He finally said something the fans agree with.
You see, The Rock never, ever forgot that.
And he's gonna damn sure make sure
that you never, ever forget it as well.
You see, what The Rock plans on doing
is he plans…
on raising the pe--
Oh, I'm sorry.
He plans on raising the Corporate Eyebrow.
[Lawler chuckles]
He plans on planting you with the Rock Bottom.
[crowd cheering]
And The Rock damn sure plans on laying the smackdown
on your candy-ass
with the most electrifying move in sports entertainment today,
the Corporate Elbow.
[Lawler] Whoo-hoo! The Corporate Elbow!
I can't wait to see it.
[JR] Why don't you go up there and join him?
Now, The Rock said that he would rather be the people's ass
than to ever kiss his.
[imperceptible]
[Shane] You were lying, but you did say it.
But now, The Rock says
he would much rather kiss Mr. McMahon's ass
than to ever, and The Rock means ever, kiss yours.
If you smell what The Rock is cooking!
[crowd cheering, booing]
[Lawler] He laid the truth down on 'em.
I was just wondering, uh,
what's it like to kiss Mr. McMahon's ass?
I've often wondered what it was like.
If I may, I… I kind of like it.
And if The Rock may,
hell, he's a millionaire,
he's a WWE champ.
You do smell what The Rock is cooking.
Oh, yeah. I definitely smell it.
All right, without further ado, ladies and gentlemen.
Oliver Stone eat your heart out.
You wanna talk about a conspiracy theory?
You wanna talk about how we pulled all of this together?
And the trials and tribulations
and the sacrifices of everybody in this ring.
Let's take you to the video tape now, ladies and gentlemen.
We're gonna show you exactly how we're going to…
We'll lay it out for 'em actually.
First thing we're gonna do,
is we're gonna lay this out and then direct your attention to the TitanTron.
All right, everyone look up here.
Oh, I look pretty good.
[Lawler] Look up there, JR.
[Mr. McMahon] That's not what I was gon-- What the hell?
[crowd cheering]
-[Lawler] What is this? -[JR] That's The Rattlesnake.
-[Mr. McMahon] What the hell is that? -[JR] "Stone Cold" just arrived.
-Get the referee in the ring. -Get that thing off of there.
Get it off!
[JR] He's the man that should be the WWE Champion.
[Lawler] Get the camera off of him.
[Mr. McMahon] What the hell is that?
[JR] It took the whole front office to keep Austin from the title.
Get him off that TitanTron!
Get him off that! Get him off!
[crowd cheering]
I said take him off!
All right, so Austin's here. Good.
I'm glad Austin's here because now he can take a look at this footage,
just like the rest of you.
All right, here it is.
Shane McMahon is doing his thing because quite frankly,
I want to make Stone Cold's life miserable.
Look what Shane McMahon just did.
Let's go back and show the video tape. Watch.
I just wanted to tell you personally,
that it was me, it was me, Dad,
that hired Stone Cold back.
It was me!
[crowd cheering]
And then, the icing on the cake here.
In order to suck "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in,
I entered the Steel Cage.
I risked my own life in front of you there, Boss Man,
in order to gain "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's trust.
[laughs]
[Mr. McMahon] Oh, and look at this. Look.
You think I'd actually put my own son up here?
You this Boss Man was actually gonna attack him?
We sucked Austin in. Look at this.
Austin showing a flaw.
Showing that he actually cares. Imagine that.
Get me out of here. Come on.
[The Rock] Look at that, look.
You know, you think The Rock had been attacked by damn King Kong.
And the award goes to…
Where's The Rock's Oscar, Vince?
[Mr. McMahon] Unbelievable. And then from there,
Look at this pathetic soul.
You wanna talk gullible.
You wanna talk a makeover.
Folks, you can't shine caca.
And then, look at this.
Oh, Rock.
[The Rock] Look, here's the People's Elbow right there.
Here comes Shane. One, two, three.
It's easier said than done, obviously.
[Mr. McMahon] Yeah, Shane McMahon,
making certain that then the people got sucked in.
[Shane] That was the key element right there for all of you people.
I sucked you in, baby! Whoo!
[The Rock] And now, here it is.
Vince McMahon, not only did you take the Rock Bottom,
but you were man enough to take the most electrifying move
in sports entertainment today,
the Corporate Elbow.
And believe me, Vince, The Rock will smell what you're cooking.
[Mr. McMahon] There it is.
The Rock winning the WWE Championship.
[The Rock] I'll tell you what, The Rock and all the ten rows of Survivor Series
heard Mick, "I quit. I give up."
"The Rock, the new WWE World Champ!"
[JR] Mankind never gave up, ladies and gentlemen.
-[Lawler] Huh? -[JR] You'll see that on the encore.
It never happened.
If I may, I'd like to take this time.
Please, Dad, I'm asking you and I'm asking the… please,
could you run the footage of what we like to call,
"The screwing of 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin"?
Let me take you through this.
There it is, last night, Survivor Series.
"Stone Cold" has just given a Stunner.
There I am. Dun-dun-dun!
Two count and-- Oh, where's the three?
Oh, my God.
And then, right there. Look at that.
To see Austin's face, it is absolutely priceless.
Yeah!
[JR] How does his family live with him?
-The screwing of-- -["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing]
-[JR] Uh-oh! -[crowd cheering]
[JR] The business is picking up early here tonight.
[Lawler] Wait a minute!
[JR] The Rattlesnake is gonna come down a monster.
[Lawler] He's not supposed to be down here.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Look at Austin. Showing no fear.
[Lawler] He's crazy.
[JR] McMahon's got a ring full of protection
and Austin could give a damn.
There should be… "Stone Cold" should be the WWE Champion.
-Not that Corporate butt-kissing, Rock. -[Lawler] Hey!
[JR] Don't turn your back on a Rattlesnake.
[Lawler yells]
[crowd cheering]
[JR] You talk about a defiant son of a gun.
[Lawler] That's why he's not the champion.
Well, I must say, "Stone Cold", uh,
look at the lumps on your face.
You look like a little worse for the wear. You get beat up last night or something
in the Survivor Series? What's up?
I know you're just trying to provoke me, Vince,
but it really doesn't make a damn.
Because I gotta get something off my mind right now.
If you think The Rock is a sorry, sell-out son of a bitch
give me a "Hell, yeah!"
[crowd shouting] Hell, yeah!
[Stone Cold] That's exactly what I thought.
[Lawler] How embarrassing.
-[JR] How true. -Go ahead, say something.
[Mr. McMahon] I'm not trying to provoke you.
I would like to remind you of the clause in your new contract
that my son Shane signed that says, unless you are provoked,
you can't lay a hand on me.
[Lawler] Yeah, what about that?
[Mr. McMahon] Just remember that.
I don't really feel like laying a hand on you.
I got something a little bit bigger
and a little bit more important than you yourself.
Roll the little footage on the screen of what your son, Shane McMahon did
when he signed my contract.
Go ahead and roll me a little footage.
[Lawler] What?
It pleases me to announce
that on November 16th,
the day after Survivor Series
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin will get his title shot right here on Raw.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] What?
Don't get excited.
Look, now don't get excited.
I overruled that the same night. You had your shot at Survivor Series.
-[Lawler] Good. -You overruled that?
What I got here…
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Uh-oh, what's that, JR?
-[JR] Some kind of document. -[Stone Cold] What I got here,
is a legally binding contract
which gives me a title shot at The Rock here tonight.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] What?
-[JR] All right! -[Lawler] Now wait a minute.
[JR] Austin's got the McMahons by the short hairs.
[Lawler] Legally binding?
I had no… I had no choice.
I had no choice.
[JR] Daddy dearest is hot.
That piece of paper isn't worth the ink that's dried on it.
Giving me a contract. It's notebook paper.
According to the Third District Court Judge Horn,
of Lexington, Kentucky, this is.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] He took it to a judge?
This is a legally binding contract
and if you don't believe Judge Horn,
I got one more piece of footage to show you.
Just, uh, roll that bastard right now.
-[Lawler] What? -Mr. McMahon.
I have in my hand
a document supplied to me by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
Even though not written on formal printing paper,
it is a binding contract.
I have reviewed the exhibits as well as the contract
and find that this document was signed on Monday, November 2nd
by Shane McMahon who was launched at The Corporation
and a right to bind The Corporation.
Furthermore, this document states, that on the day after the Survivor Series,
November 16th,
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin will compete
for the World Wrestling Entertainment Championship.
Now therefore, it is my ruling, based upon the evidence before me,
that tonight, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will have his title shot
live on Raw.
We stand in recess.
[crowd cheering]
-[JR] Judge Mills Lane. -[Stone Cold] Oh, hell yeah!
[JR] Oh, hell yeah!
We got a title match right here tonight!
And the McMahon family, the front office, can't do a damn thing about it.
[Lawler] I can't believe it.
[JR] That Corporate butt-kissing champion, The Rock,
may be one of the shortest-lived title holders in WWE history.
[crowd cheering]
-The Rock must defend that WWE title. -[Stone Cold] I'm gonna beat your ass
right in the middle of that ring.
One, two, three. You're looking at the next champ.
And that's the bottom line
-'cause Stone Cold said so! -[crowd] Stone Cold said so!
[JR] Oh, it's gonna be an Earth-shattering night!
The Rock may be the shortest-lived champion in recent memory.
The title on the line. Tonight, live!
-[JR] Six-Man Tag action here. -[bell ringing]
It's good to see X-Pac in this match.
He had, uh, quite the scare for all of us last night.
Thought he sustained another serious neck injury.
That was not the case. Thank goodness.
But in any event,
the Outlaws who were successful at a very, uh, unorthodox Triple Threat Tag Match
at the Survivor Series: Deadly Game,
meeting The Oddities here
and it's, uh, Kurrgan, who's about seven feet tall
-and, uh, Billy Gunn. -[Lawler laughs] And he's got rhythm too.
-Uh-oh! -[grunting]
[JR] Well, Billy Gunn not amused by the, uh, machinations
of, uh, Kurrgan of The Oddities.
-[Kurrgan grunts] -[JR] Whoa! Nice flexibility by Kurrgan,
-the seven-footer. -[Lawler] If he's not a…
If he's not amused by the machinations,
he's got to get a chuckle out of that headgear.
[JR] Well, I'll tell you one thing, can you believe it, right here tonight,
in one of the most famous arenas in the country, Rupp Arena,
the WWE title to be decided.
The Rock, the new champion, The Corporate champion
-will be challenged by The Rattlesnake. -[Lawler] Look at this.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Shake, Rattle and knee drop.
You can suck on this!
[JR] Lateral-- Oh, then the power of Kurrgan.
Powering out of the Road Dogg and that, uh, lateral press there.
Well, the atmosphere tonight, folks,
-is absolutely amazing. -[Lawler] Uh-oh.
-Oh! -[JR] That's an amazing side slam.
by Kurrgan who…
[Lawler] Look at the size of Kurrgan. He's huge.
[JR] Don't you think Kurrgan may be a little underestimated?
As Golga gets the tag.
Folks, we understand that Mankind,
that poor, sad son of a gun who was really duped
by the McMahon family and The Corporate Machine
has just arrived to the arena…
-[Lawler] Oh. -…here in Lexington, Kentucky.
[Lawler] I bet he walked here from St. Louis.
-[groans] -[JR] I feel so sorry for Mick Foley.
You gotta wonder what kind of frame of mind he could be--
[Lawler] Oh, look at this. Oh, my gosh.
[JR] That's a little scary.
[both] Oh!
[JR] Golga hasn't missed any meals.
Of course, on that, uh, international buffet tour.
[Lawler laughs]
[JR] The Oddities very, uh, unorthodox
and they've had, uh, some, uh, philosophical differences, King,
as you're well aware of with the Insane Clown Posse.
[Lawler] Yeah, but they're still out here with 'em.
But, whoa, no!
[JR] Well, when a 400-pounder takes a high-risk move
more often than not, it doesn't work very well.
And that's a good case in point.
[Lawler] You know, I think the Insane Clown Posse,
when they were asked to, uh, do the, I guess sort of the theme song,
the entrance music for The Oddities,
they just have kind of attached themselves to 'em.
Uh-oh! Ooh!
[JR] Rocker Dropper from, uh, Billy Gunn. There's a cover.
-And Kurrgan in to stop that count. -[Lawler] Oh.
Look at this. Look at this.
[JR] What's the clown doing up there?
[Lawler] Get a shot of this. Look out!
[JR] Shaggy 2 Dope off the top.
Well, he missed the mark
-and he hit his own partner. -[Lawler] What?
-He wasn't even in the match. -[bell ringing]
[JR] Well, that made no sense.
ICP better stick to singing or rapping or performing.
And not in any athletic environment.
Giant Silva was not even allowed to be tagged in the match.
[Lawler] I don't think The Oddities are smart enough
to figure out that this, uh…
These are two evil clowns, this Insane Clown Posse.
[JR] Well, there's some problems under the big top
with the Clowns and The Oddities.
He thought it was the other guy.
Violent J said, "We thought it was the other guy."
-Duh! -[Lawler] Kurrgan is hot.
Here's what you didn't really see.
One of the members of the Insane Clown Posse
comes in and he thought he was gonna hit…
[JR] Well, how in the hell do you confuse Kurrgan with Billy Gunn?
[Lawler] I think Billy Gunn slipped out of the way there at the last second.
Look at this.
-[JR] Wait a minute. Headbangers. -[Lawler] What?
[JR] Headbangers getting a piece of the Road Dogg.
[Lawler] Well, I'll tell you. Don't ever turn your back in the WWE.
You never know what's gonna hit you next.
[JR] I'll tell you what, ladies and gentlemen,
as we mentioned during the match,
Mankind has arrived in the building.
One of our cameras caught him coming in.
And, uh, we'll show you.
[Mankind] You made me cut my hair.
You made me shave my beard.
You gave me that stupid suit.
Well, I wouldn't wanna be in your shoes, Vince.
Last guy who sent me… Yeah!
Put it to a…
I wouldn't wanna be in your shoes, Vince.
Because I'm coming home!
I'm coming home!
Well, uh, we have an unscheduled WWE Championship match here tonight.
So, I guess I have enough to worry about, right?
I don't wanna have to worry about Mankind.
This guy, he is an imbecile,
but he can also be a lunatic.
Now, Boss Man, you stay close to me.
Which one of you is gonna go take care of Mankind?
Pat, you've known him the longest,
you go talk to him.
And just remember, he's gullible.
Good. I'll do a good job. Don't worry.
["The Ultimate" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, the World Wrestling Entertainment
Intercontinental Champion,
and the World's Most Dangerous Man,
Ken Shamrock.
[JR] According to my format, ladies and gentlemen,
we are not scheduled to see Ken Shamrock in action here tonight,
but obviously, he is dressed and ready to compete.
And the Intercontinental Champion,
who made a very positive showing
in the Deadly Game Tournament.
As a matter of fact, he was another one that got
the short end of the nightstick,
if you will.
Thanks to Big Boss Man against The Rock,
rarely Shamrock, who is a man of few words,
has something to say here.
First of all, let me make it really clear,
I ain't too happy about Survivor Series,
I got screwed.
[Lawler] Yeah. You and who else?
[crowd booing]
-[JR] Austin-- -The second thing is
I'd rather be fighting than talking.
But it seems to me this is the only way I'm gonna get my point across.
And Boss Man,
you know I'm talking about you.
You screwed me twice
and you won't do it again
Because tonight, in this ring,
I'm challenging you to step in with me face to face,
man to man.
[crowd cheering and applauding]
Oh, and if that ain't enough
because I don't think you're that kind of man
who'd wanna stand up on your own two feet,
I'm even gonna throw in the Intercontinental title on the line.
[Lawler] Whoa.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Quite an offer, JR.
[JR] Quite a challenge, King. Shamrock challenging--
So, I'll be waiting for your answer, chump.
[JR] Ken Shamrock has just challenged the Big Boss Man
to compete for the Intercontinental title.
And again, ladies and gentlemen,
Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler here at ringside.
We know that tonight definitely
that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will challenge
the new WWE Champion,
the corporate, butt-kissing champion, The Rock
for the gold live right here tonight, King.
[Lawler] I can't believe you're saying that, but I know one thing,
speaking of new champion.
Here is a new WWE women's champion
and she is gonna be right here tonight
and I'm talking about Sable.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] And again ladies and gentlemen,
will the Big Boss Man accept Shamrock's challenge?
["Hello Ladies" playing]
[bell ringing]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall
with a 20-minute time limit.
Making his way to the ring from Las Vegas, Nevada,
weighing in at 244 pounds,
Val Venis.
[JR] Well, we have the moment, ladies and gentlemen,
to say hello to all the great fans in the Buckeye State,
Columbus, Ohio.
We'll be there tomorrow night at the new Schott.
A limited number of tickets are still available, the TitanTron,
"The King" will be at ringside and all the Superstars on hand
in Columbus tomorrow night.
[JR] Well, Cincinnati on Wednesday night at the Cincinnati Gardens.
Huge event coming to Cincinnati.
[in a raspy voice] Hello, ladies.
[crowd cheering]
So, this is the Bluegrass State.
[crowd cheering]
Home of the Kentucky Derby.
[crowd cheering]
Well, ladies,
if you wanna cross that finish line in first place with the Big Valbowski,
just hop aboard this stallion.
[crowd cheering]
Bare back.
[Lawler] Whoa.
[Lawler] Like you got a chance, lady.
[pop music playing]
[announcer] And his opponent
being accompanied to the ring by D-Lo Brown from Silsbee, Texas,
weighing in at 400 pounds,
the World's Strongest Man,
Mark Henry!
[JR] We mentioned that we'll be in Cincinnati on Wednesday.
I also like to remind you this week
the WWE Thursday night in the sports arena in San Diego.
A huge event, The Rock,
if he's still the champion,
is scheduled to the defend the WWE title Thursday night in San Diego,
Anaheim at the Arrowhead Pond this Saturday night
and a big one in San Jose, California,
at the arena this Sunday afternoon at 1:30,
and this should be an interesting match-up.
Two young lions here in the WWE.
Mark Henry, 27 years of age,
Val Venis, I think he's about 28.
[Lawler] And both of these guys got women problems.
[JR] Yeah. And I tell you what to Mark Henry's…
[Lawler] Oh, man!
[JR] Mark Henry, uh,
has a sexual harassment lawsuit on Chyna.
Chyna has taken a leave of absence from the WWE
and trying to handle this legal entanglement and maybe--
[Lawler] And, you know, if Chyna was smart, she'd look at Paula Jones
and try to settle this thing.
[JR] My God. I don't wanna look at Paula Jones.
Now that she has a nose job, oh, that's kind of rough. but…
[Lawler] She looks better.
-[JR] …in any event-- Look at the power. -[Lawler] Oh, man.
[JR] Nice belly-to-belly suplex
for "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry,
and we are still awaiting the word from the Big Boss Man
and I guess Mr. McMahon gotta stamp that
if the Boss Man will accept Shamrock's challenge
for Intercontinental title match
to go with the WWE championship
that will be contested live right here tonight
between "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and The Rock.
[Lawler] Well, I don't think that one-- Uh-oh, watch this.
Oh!
[JR] Mark Henry focusing on the lower back,
and that means you can expect to see a bear hug,
forthcoming here.
[Lawler] Let's talk just a little bit about poor Val's women problems.
You know, Terri Runnels had been out here recently
accusing him of being the father of her unborn child.
But I'm telling you, he threw a shot into Terri Runnels
when he announced to her and the world that
he had a vasectomy a few years back.
And what a tough guy Val is.
I heard he even jogged home from his vasectomy.
[JR] And that brings up the question,
who is then the father of that unborn child
of Terri Runnels but that's…
for another time and another story, I guess.
[Lawler] Don't look at me.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Val Venis doing a nice job of taking Mark Henry off his feet there.
And now some bumping and grinding by Val.
[JR] Well, I tell you what, Austin,
you may think Austin was a little gullible
in falling for the kindness of Shane McMahon, but…
-not to-- Oh, boy, what power. -[Lawler] Oh, my God!
[JR] Unbelievable power by Mark Henry.
But The Rattlesnake had everything-- Wait a minute.
-Wait a minute, folks. -[Lawler] What is this?
-[crowd cheering] -[JR] There's Chyna.
-[Lawler] Whoa! -[JR] There is Chyna.
[JR] She's back!
The ninth wonder of the world is back and look at the smile on Mark Henry.
-[Lawler] He's happy! -[JR] He's forgotten about
everything in life but Chyna right now, and--
[Lawler] Watch it.
[JR] Val Venis getting…
-[Lawler] What? -[JR] Yes!
[bell ringing]
[JR] Val Venis rolled up Mark Henry with a cradle.
[announcer] Here is your winner, Val Venis!
["Hello Ladies" playing]
[JR] But you know what, I don't think Mark Henry even cares right now.
[Lawler] He doesn't even care. Look at the smile on his face.
[JR] He's smitten with the love bug.
[Lawler] He sees his lady.
-[JR] Uh-oh. -Hey, girlfriend.
[Lawler chuckles]
How you're doing?
Now, I know that my lawyer
and your lawyer have been having a lot of problems.
But let's forget about that.
All I want is for me and you
to go out on a nice dinner.
-[Lawler] Huh? -No sex involved.
-[Lawler chuckles] -I just want you.
[JR] No sex involved.
And just so you know,
I wrote you this little poem.
[JR] Oh, man.
Chyna,
there's many things that I go through so I can be with you.
I thought of tragedy,
I thought of pain,
just so long to see you again.
Since the day we met,
I fought myself
to make an effort to confess
my true desire
and all that's true,
just so I can be with you.
That's from the world's strongest poet.
[Lawler] Beautiful.
What a cinnamon.
Whoa. Where you going?
[JR] I think she needs some time to contemplate that offer.
[Lawler] Hey, he'll take that as a rejection if you're not careful.
[JR] Ah.
A Hallmark moment for D-Lo and Mark Henry.
And there's The Rattlesnake.
Well, The Rattlesnake is a pretty smart guy.
He's not so gullible after all.
He is an intelligent rattlesnake,
and that's the most deadly kind.
[indistinct chatter]
-What's up? -Well, Patrick, what do you have to say?
What kind of mood is he in?
Vince, I couldn't find the boiler… The Boiler Room.
I just couldn't find it. I looked everywhere.
It is a huge building.
You can't find the Boiler Room?
I couldn't-- I looked everywhere, Vince.
You couldn't find your ass.
-I know where it's at, Mr. McMahon. -Please…
He's sitting on it.
Is that what you mean?
No, sir, the Boiler Room, Mr. McMahon.
-Do you know where the Boiler Room is? -Yes, sir.
Please, go check this guy's temperament.
I wanna know what we're dealing with, Jerry, please.
-Yes, sir. -You think you're gonna find it?
-I could find it. -Yeah.
-I know where the Boiler Room is. -How could you not?
How could you not find the Boiler Room?
I looked everywhere. What do you want me to do?
[JR] Quite the crack staff from Mr. McMahon, huh, King?
[Lawler] Inspector Clouseau.
[JR] Well, we got Tag Team action coming up here,
ladies and gentlemen, momentarily, but let us tell you that tonight,
Raw is brought to you by
JVC Kaboom Box,
the portable music system with dual subwoofers
and 52 watts of, yes, ring-shaking power.
JVC Kaboom Box, strap it on.
[Lawler] And by Mr. Tees, the products with attitude and class.
Available at better retailers everywhere, Mr. Tees.
[JR] And by Stone Cold Metal,
the greatest CD ever made, why?
Because Stone Cold said so.
Available at Coconuts, Record Town, and other fine stores.
[rock music playing]
-[bell ringing] -Lethal Weapon time.
[announcer] The following Tag Team contest is scheduled for one fall
with a 20-minute time limit.
Making his way to ring from Annville, Pennsylvania,
weighing in at 246 pounds,
"The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman.
[JR] Steve Blackman, The Lethal Weapon, and Goldust
will be Tag Team partners here.
[announcer] …weighing in at 260 pounds,
Goldust.
[JR] Unusual Tag Team pairing,
but so are the opposition.
["Urban Cowboy" playing]
-[crowd cheering] -[announcer] And their opponents,
at a combined weight of 459 pounds,
being accompanied by Debra McMichael,
Jeff Jarrett and the Blue Blazer.
[Lawler] The Blue Blazer!
[JR] Well, Owen Hart in this Blue Blazer attire to join Jeff Jarrett.
[Lawler] Wait, how do you know Owen Hart is Blue Blazer?
That's The Blue Blazer.
[JR] Look, I don't know what kind of fun and games Owen Hart is playing here,
but Owen Hart was, is, and forever
will be etched to the minds of fans everywhere
as the Blue Blazer.
And Steve Blackman was the first guy to even infer
that it was Owen Hart back who--
Owen Hart allegedly had retired after injuring Dan "The Beast" Severn.
-[bell ringing] -[Lawler] Oh, yeah.
[Lawler] You think Owen is not a man of his word?
[JR] Yeah. You're right. I don't.
And of course, Debra McMichael,
been wondering where she got all her money, well then…
can you spell divorce?
It's cold in here.
She is quite the Jezebel, the brains behind
the Jarrett empire, shall we say.
As Jeff Jarrett and Goldust,
a couple of second-generation youngsters here.
[Lawler] Oh!
[JR] Both of them have been two-time Intercontinental Champions.
So…
Outstanding athleticism and a knockdown by the 6'6",
260-pound Goldust.
And one would wonder if the Blue Blazer,
if Owen Hart is going to take his cape off.
[Lawler] Oh!
[JR] That hideous looking
circa 1960s lucha libre costume he's wearing.
[Lawler] Boy, oh, boy, you're a fine one
to talk about how somebody's dressed.
Come on, Jeff.
[JR] Oh!
Blackman showing a great deal of quickness.
-[Lawler] Look at that! -[JR] And Jarrett, good.
-[Lawler] Beautiful dropkick. -[JR] Good adjustment.
[JR] A perfect dropkick by Jeff Jarrett who is a simply an amazing athlete
and Jarrett has a got mean streak and a lot of confidence.
And you got to wonder, I think that Debra McMichael
has instilled a great deal of confidence in Jeff Jarrett.
[Lawler] Why I'm sure she's the--
I mean they're the perfect combination, look at her.
-[JR] He really seems-- -[Lawler] Beauty, brains.
[JR] He really seems to rise to the occasion
-when he's around her. -[Lawler] Okay. Watch this.
The Blue Blazer.
[crowd cheering]
[Blue Blazer] Whoo-hoo!
[Lawler] When is the last time the Blue Blazer wrestled on Raw?
Indeed a historic night.
[JR] Well, he is still a nothing in my book.
-[Lawler] Hey. -[JR] Retired or not. Please.
[JR] And Goldust--
Well, Goldust was getting real close to Ms. McMichael.
Oh, what a shoulder block by Blackman.
Blackman is so intense.
His expression rarely changes.
Goldust and Jarrett fighting on the outside.
[Lawler] Can you get Goldust up there?
[JR] And Jarrett right there. That maybe all.
-[Lawler] No, what? -[bell ringing]
[Lawler] No way.
[announcer] Here are your winners,
Goldust and "The Lethal Weapon"
-Steve Blackman. -[Lawler] Wait a minute.
[JR] Blackman's gonna take off the mask, it looks like.
He's signaling that anyway.
[Lawler] You can't take off the mask from the Blue Blazer.
[JR] To reveal us-- To reveal us if it's Owen Hart.
Everybody knows it's Owen Hart.
-[Lawler] There you go. -[JR] Wait.
-Well, that's Owen Hart. -[Lawler] Look!
-[JR] There's Owen Hart. -[bell ringing]
Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett
doing a number on Steve Blackman.
Goldust was eliminated moments ago by Jarrett on the outside.
[Lawler] Now, what you got to say, JR, you big know-it-all?
-[JR] Well, I guess I'm wrong. -[Lawler] Yeah, oh, boy, newsflash.
[JR] I cannot--
Low blow and Blue Blazer, whomever it is,
Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett assaulting Steve Blackman,
Goldust back in the ring a little too late.
[JR] Well this is…
-[Lawler] Wow! -[JR] This is… a crazy situation.
[Lawler] Owen Hart and the Blue Blazer.
I found the Boiler Room.
There's some weird noises going on down there
and it kind of frightened me and I didn't go in.
Brisco, you're such a wuss.
Hey, don't call me a wuss.
You are a wuss.
Why didn't you go bring him up here?
Well, there were weird noises in there.
What the hell am I dealing with?
"Weird noises."
Why don't you go check it out?
I'd be more than happy to, Mr. McMahon.
-You go get him. -In fact, I'll bring him right back here.
-Oh, yes you will. Go. -Yeah, I will.
-Go look. Go look at it. -You watch.
Sure.
Can I have a word with you just for a moment, please?
We'll talk about this championship match here tonight.
What's wrong with us?
[JR] The WWE title on the line,
The Rock, The Rattlesnake coming up.
Don't go away.
That's absolutely the most pathetic excuse I've heard tonight.
Hey, you've got this guy so crazy.
He's out of his mind.
It's gonna take more than me.
I think the three of us could do it if we will--
You didn't do a good job bringing him back, did you?
Who's the wuss now?
-Well, he's out of his mind. -I told you.
-Yeah, who's the wuss? -Yeah.
I tell you what, you've got a good idea.
I don't give a damn if you got to put Ryan here on.
I don't wanna have to worry
about what's gonna happen with Mankind.
The three of you can go take care of this.
And you damn well better take care it,
am I making myself clear?
-Yes, sir. -All right. We'll follow you.
Go ahead. You take the lead, boss. We'll follow you.
-Great idea. Great idea. -Okay. Good guy.
-Let's go. -Come on.
Can you believe this? Just get the job done.
Boss Man, come on.

[JR] For all the great fans in the state of New Mexico,
we encourage you to join us in Albuquerque, Las Cruces.
The tickets on sale
at the Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque
in Pan American Center, Las Cruces this Saturday.
Get your tickets early because I guarantee you, King,
-they won't last long. -[Lawler] Can I ask you one question?
-[JR] Yes, sir. -How could you talk
about New Mexico when you get someone like this
staring you in the face,
strutting down here? Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo.
[JR] I happen to be a very, very happily married man.
[Lawler] This reminds me that Christmas is getting near.
-[JR] And you know-- -[Lawler] Ho, ho, ho.
[JR] You know my mom is watching.
[Lawler] Oh, lord, that girl's gonna… Look the other way.
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Well, I tell you what this has been quite a night of Raw.
-And folks, from what we understand… -[Lawler] Whoo, whoo.
[wolf-whistling]
[crowd cheering]
[JR] If I get my information correct…
The Big Boss Man has accepted, I think,
-Ken Shamrock's challenge. -[Lawler barking]
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Shake it baby. Shake it.
[JR] So, it looks like it's gonna be Shamrock and, uh,
and, uh, and the Boss Man for the Intercontinental title tonight,
in addition to Austin and The Rock.
[Lawler] Whoo.
Hey, listen here.
What do you think?
[crowd cheering and whistling]
Hold up, big brother. Hold up.
Uh, oh, hold up. Hold up.
Now listen, man, you know me, you know what I am, right?
-I'm a pimp. -[Lawler] Oh, ho.
Even though pimpin' ain't easy, that's what I am.
But what you-- Hang on now.
What you don't know is right here in Lexington…
[crowd cheering]
…man, they got some of the best hoes ever born.
[Lawler laughs raucously]
[crowd cheering]
-[Lawler] In Lexington? -[JR] I didn't know that.
Settle down, man. Settle down. Settle down.
Now, listen here, man, I understand the working man.
The nine-to-five thing, I don't really understand that.
It's not for me,
but that's cool because it works for you.
But listen here, man. [chuckles]
-[Lawler] Man to man. -I'mma give you a choice tonight.
You have your choice of either fighting me,
knowing I'mma kick your ass.
[Lawler] Oh, ho. Oh.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] It's arguable.
Or… This is the part you wanna listen to,
feast your eyes on these wildcats.
-[Lawler] Whoo! -[JR] Whoa!
-[Lawler] No, no. -[JR] Oh, don't do it.
[Lawler shrieks]
[JR] I don't think that lady is wearing any underwear.
-[The Godfather] Whoa! -[Lawler] Man!
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Whoo, whoo-hoo.
[Lawler shrieks]
[Lawler] Can he throw in a free motel room?
[Lawler] I'm out of vaccination.
Oh, motel six.
Now hold up, baby girl, we ain't closed no deals yet, okay?
Or…
Here's the good part,
I'm gonna do something that I normally don't do.
I'm doing this for the working man, if you will.
[man wolf-whistles]
I'm gonna give you all three of these hoes for free,
for the whole night.
[Lawler] Take it, take it.
All three of them.
All three of them. Oh, no, no.
Don't tell me the--
Oh, lord.
[Lawler] Whoo!
-A no-brainer. -What you think, man, come on.
Look at that.
You know, a working man don't get nothing like that.
[Lawler yipping]
[JR] Easy, King.
At least he's not selling them by the pound,
that would have been expensive.
Now, normally,
there's nothing I'd like more than to kick your head in,
but…
I may be from England, but the last time I checked,
my name's Steve Regal, not Elton John,
so I'll take the broads.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] That's a smart move.
[JR] Well, the man's man is a thinking man's man apparently.
At least in the King's view.
Apparently, we're not going to have a match between Regal and The Godfather.
[Lawler] What a night.
Oh, what a night.
[JR] Oh, what's up now?
[The Godfather] Hey. Hey, Regal.
Hey, Regal. [chuckles]
You know what, man, I really didn't think you were gonna take the hoes so…
To quote what a good friend of mine Archie Bunker says,
England ain't nothing but a place full of… [bleep]
[Lawler] Huh?
[JR] Well, that's… That's rather…
-[Lawler] Wait a minute. -Oh, look out.
Oh, man. What a--
Man, Regal and The Godfather just started a…
To heck with the love makin', they're gonna have a fight.
[Lawler] I can't believe it.
[JR] Folks, there's something happening in the back regarding Kane.
I'm not sure what it is.
Something apparently has happened in the locker room area,
involving Kane.
I'm sorry to break in on this but I just got word of that.
Well, Regal and The Godfather being separated here.
I don't know what happened…
or is happening in the back regarding Kane, something.
Can we get our cameras there?
There's Kane there.
[Lawler] He's outside the building.
[JR] Near the production trucks.
[commentators exclaim]
[JR] One of the technicians there.
[Lawler] What is he doing?
[JR] Kane just…
He just chokeslammed the technician on the bed of a truck.
What the hell is going on with Kane?
So, you're saying this guy is an animal?
Well, what do you think I am?
Oh, I know what you are. I know what you are.
I want you to take care of business, and he likes it no holds barred?
-Give it to him. -Yeah, I can do that.
-Give it to him. -You know I can.
-[laughs] -I know you can.
Get out there and let's do it.
-All right. -Knuckle up time.
[Lawler] Well, ladies and gentlemen, Ken Shamrock
is going to defend the Intercontinental Title against the Boss Man,
it's gonna be a war, that's next.
[man] And now the WWE rewind,
presented by Glover, new for Nintendo 64,
and PC CD ROM.
Gotta love the glove.
[JR] Oh, low blow, Stunner. Another Stunner, another Stunner.
There's no referee.
Oh, there's Shane McMahon.
Two, three.
On three.
-Three. -[Lawler] What?
[JR] Where's three?
What?
Shane McMahon…
He didn't count down Austin.
[man] That was the WWE rewind,
presented by Glover, new for Nintendo 64,
and PC, CD ROM.
Gotta love the glove.
["The Ultimate" playing]
[bell ringing]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall,
and it is for the World Wrestling Entertainment
Intercontinental Championship.
Making his way to the ring from Sacramento, California,
weighing at 243 pounds,
the Intercontinental Champion,
and the World's Most Dangerous Man,
Ken Shamrock.
-[yells] -[crowd cheering]
[JR] Ken Shamrock has had his share of problems
with The Big Boss Man in the last couple of weeks.
Last week, in a Hardcore Matchup with Mankind.
Looks like Shamrock was gonna win the match.
Watch the Big Boss Man.
Unbeknownst to Mankind,
boom, right there, a nightstick right in Shamrock's face.
And, King, at Deadly Game, Survivor Series,
Shamrock tasted the nightstick again.
[Lawler] Well, that's what this is all about.
That's why Shamrock wants a little piece of the Big Boss Man.
And quite frankly, that's why he wants it so bad
that he's putting up the Intercontinental title to get it.
[The Big Boss Man's theme song playing]
[announcer] And the challenger, he weighs in at 297 pounds,
The Big Boss Man.
[JR] We are live all over North America, the USA Network in the state, the TSN.
The great TSN in Canada.
And here we go.
-[bell ringing] -The Big Boss Man, against Shamrock.
It may not be a… a very pretty scientific affair
with these two guys with their temperament.
Shamrock, reverse elbow.
And a knockdown of the 6'6", near 300-pound Big Boss Man,
[Lawler] Oh, look at this. Shamrock is going for the Boss Man's baton!
[JR] I hope that thing is made of chocolate, because The Boss Man,
he may be eating it.
Oh, referee--
-[Lawler] Yes. -Referee Mike Chioda,
snatching that nightstick,
from Shamrock,
and that kept Shamrock from being disqualified, that's one thing's for sure.
[Lawler] But it also got him, uh…
Got his jaw jacked there by the Big Boss Man.
Look at this.
[JR] Boss Man on the outside.
Wow.
Hard right hand.
Again, we thank our fans
throughout Canada premiering with us on TSN,
certainly we're looking forward to Raw is War,
in SkyDome, in Toronto coming up in February.
We understand tickets for that event are going…
to zoom right out the door.
First time ever for Raw is War in Toronto at SkyDome.
And, uh…
Oh, Shamrock blocks the--
The Boss Man couldn't block the steps.
[Lawler] We got over 19,000 people here tonight in Lexington, Kentucky,
how many we gonna have in Toronto?
[JR] It could be 30, 40, 50,000 fans, who knows?
[Lawler] Watch this.
[JR] This is a--
And you knew this match was…
Was not gonna show the athletic skills, quite frankly,
both these athletes, it's gonna be more of a…
A brawl, a street fight, if you will,
between The Boss Man and Shamrock.
Of course, The Boss Man is the head of Mr. McMahon's security force.
[Lawler] Yeah, I'm a little surprised that
Mr. McMahon let him come out here, because,
quite frankly, that leaves-- Oh!
That leaves Mr. McMahon a little vulnerable right now.
He's got nobody but the… The, uh…
[JR] It is what it is.
[Lawler] …colleagues back there to protect him right now.
[JR] Oh, I'm sure McMahon has, uh, plenty of support around him.
[Lawler] Oh, yeah, I forget about The Rock. [laughs]
[JR] Right hands by Big Boss Man,
sending Shamrock back on the corner.
Cross-eye.
Comes our way now with a… The Irish Twist.
And Boss Man using, using his,
his mass advantage, his size advantage here
on Shamrock.
Intercontinental Title on the line.
Spinebuster-like maneuver…
And that could be all.
And certainly you can see that there was not enough body on body there.
Shamrock's shoulders left uncovered.
He got him up there, maybe a technical error,
that could come back to haunt The Boss Man.
[yelling]
[JR] Uh-oh. Oh, no.
[Lawler] Can you just imagine, JR, the smile on the-- Ooh!
Oh, look out.
[JR] Tremendous move by Shamrock,
as the Boss Man straddled himself on the top rope.
[Lawler] Can you imagine the smile on the face of Mr. McMahon though
if The Big Boss Man is victorious and becomes the Intercontinental Champion?
I mean, he'll have the Intercontinental Champion, the WWE Champion
right under his thumb.
[JR] I'm sure that, uh, nothing can make Mr. McMahon more happy.
-Oh, you're really repping for a… -One, two, three!
[JR] …Christmas bonus, aren't you?
Trying to win a big one this year.
-One, two, three. -[Lawler] Good talk!
-You keep smooching that rear end… -[Lawler] Hey, hey.
[JR] …you'll get a nice one.
Shamrock, he knows how to fight.
I thought Shamrock turned up in the early favorites, uh,
in the Deadly Game Tournament, Survivor Series,
after winning the King of the Ring tournament in June,
and the Intercontinental tournament in October.
And, uh… And, the, uh…
matchup in the quarterfinals.
-[Lawler] Oh, look at this. -Oh, man.
[Lawler] Both of those guys bashed the referee at the same time.
[JR] Tell you what that was--
These guys could give a darn less about the rules.
And the fight continues here,
referee Mike Chioda has not had a good 24 hours.
He was cuffed, by, uh, the owner of the company,
-And now these two guys-- -[bell ringing]
He orders calling for the bell.
[Lawler] Well, he tried to separate two guys,
and neither one of them wanted to be separated,
and they both turned on him.
[JR] But Shamrock and The Boss Man did not come to wrestle.
They came to fight here,
and, uh, referee seemed hip with it.
"I got beat up at Survivor Series."
"I'm not gonna take it from you too."
-[Lawler] Look at this. -Look at Boss Man and Shamrock.
They're standing toe to toe.
Who's gonna blink here?
[bell ringing]
Here comes some more officials.
[indistinct shouting]
Boss Man and Shamrock,
they're just ripping and tearing at each other.
[Lawler] Wow!
[JR] Boss Man and Shamrock,
trying to get close enough again to throw a blow,
and these officials are doing all they physically can to separate these two.
[Lawler] Boss Man is like a raging bull in there.
Oh, he's got him again.
[JR] And so is Shamrock
This fight between these two continues to rage on.
Man, you think the intensity is bad in this one,
what about Austin?
What about The Rock, the WWE title match here tonight,
they're gonna blow the lid off this Rupp Arena,
and wait a minute.
[crowd booing]
Here comes the McMahons.
[Lawler] Yes!
[JR] Vince and his boy, Shane.
-[Lawler] They'll get something done. -Oh, yeah.
What the hell are you doing?
What the hell are you two doing?
You're beating the hell out of each other.
And for what?
Not for me.
God, come on.
Shamrock.
Shamrock, listen to me.
[Lawler] What's he doing?
Boss Man, come on, knock it off.
Shamrock.
Listen, I said, before…
I said before, you want the sharpest knife in the drawer,
but you are damn sure the most dangerous,
and I can use a man like you.
Yeah.
[JR] Keyword "use", Shamrock.
-[Lawler] Hey, hey, hey. -[crowd booing]
You and I are a lot alike, Kenny.
Think about it. Think about it.
We come from broken homes.
Everything we've got in life, we had to claw, scratch,
and bite our way to the top.
Nobody ever gave us a damn thing.
We're a lot alike and you know it.
You think these people care about you?
They don't give a damn about you.
-[loud cheering] -[Lawler] That's true.
But I care… 'cause I understand you.
Because I can give you the one thing,
that I never had growing up and you never had.
And you know what that is?
That's family.
Family stick together.
Think about it.
We got… a great corporate champion.
A corporate enforcer, and every corporation
needs a dangerous man.
So, what about it, Ken?
Just think about it.
Why not come on home?
[Lawler] And he looks corporate.
[JR] I though Jim Baker was a trip.
[Lawler] Look. Look at that.
[crowd booing]
A deal has been struck.
[JR] So, Shamrock has joined.
[Lawler] Look at this…
[JR] McMahon making The Big Boss Man shake the hand,
of Ken Shamrock.
Let bygones be bygones.
So, now the WWE Champion, The Rock,
Shamrock, the Intercontinental Champion,
and The Big Boss Man, the corporate enforcer,
are all with Mr. McMahon.
Shamrock.
[JR] I cannot believe what has transpired.
The Rock may not be the champion much longer.
[JR] Ladies and gentlemen, our cameras are following Kane,
after assaulting two, uh, two technicians.
Kane, can we have your autograph, Kane?
Kane, your autograph.
[Lawler] May not be a good move, son.
Oh, come on.
-[siren blaring] -What's he doing?
[Lawler] Kane.
[JR] I don't--
The Big Red Machine doesn't know right from wrong.
Here comes some of, uh, Lexington's finest.
And Kane,
He is…
He's a rudderless ship, King.
[Lawler] Where's he going?
-[JR] I have no-- -Is he leaving or is he--
He's coming this way.
[JR] I hope he's not coming this way.
But obviously The Brood are.
[The Brood's theme song playing]
You see Gangrel.
Gangrel and Edge.
Accompanied by Christian, will take on the LOD,
and the LOD means Animal and Droz.
Here is some weird dudes right here.
On a night where Ken Shamrock has joined The Rock,
and The Boss Man on…
Shall we call them Team Corporate?
[Lawler] That's a good thing to call them.
[JR] Not what I wanted to call them but…
It's really an interesting dichotomy of athleticism
and personalities in The Brood.
Allegedly living a rather gothic lifestyle.
And again, folks are saying, well, what's the story?
How are these men connected other than Edge and Christian being brothers?
I wish we knew.
I don't know if we really want to know.
["Hall of Fame" playing]
[Lawler] Here we go.
[crowd cheering]
[bell ringing]
[announcer] The following tag team contest
is scheduled for one fall and 20-minute time limit.
Making their way to the ring with a combining weight of 578 pounds,
Animal and Droz,
The Legion of Doom!
[JR] Animal and Droz, as has been well documented,
have had many, many problems with Hawk,
who has bought his own personal demons.
[Lawler] I mean, has he just totally been replaced?
I know we should still fight those demons.
But I mean…
At least got to be referred to as the New Legion of Doom or…
In this now just the Legion of Doom, is Hawk history?
[JR] Well, Hawk, you know, was relegated to be an alternate.
His fight with this demons is an everyday ongoing battle.
You never know how that, uh,
how that battle is gonna come out.
-[bell ringing] -But more importantly, here we go.
[Lawler] Yeah, you're gonna lose.
[JR] So Droz and Animal,
meaning Edge and Gangrel, representing The Brood here.
Oh, look at that. Boom! What a back body drop.
That was some hang time here in Rupp Arena
where they're used to hang time here,
defending NCAA basketball champions.
And, uh, Droz, who's a…
just a simply magnificent young athlete,
some say maybe just a little bit overzealous.
I'm thinking if Droz had perhaps not been quite as ambitious,
maybe just maybe,
some of Hawk's problems would not have been so amplified.
[Lawler] Look at this. Oh, wow!
Draped him right over there.
[JR] Look at this teamwork here.
Oh, man!
Christian is the WWE Light Heavyweight Champion.
[crowd chanting] We want Hawk! We want Hawk!
[Lawler] The young men on the outside with a little "We want Hawk,"
chant going here, some of the fans, and I tell ya,
Droz, maybe wants Hawk back
pretty soon, if he suffers much more of this abuse.
Look at this.
[JR] I've known Hawk and Animal 15 years,
and you always had to see someone, whether you like them or not,
and those kinds of personal problems are just…
it affects family, it affects friends,
and, folks, it's just, it's not the way to live your life,
you know, and…
[Lawler exclaims]
[JR] I tell you what, I wonder what Stone Cold is thinking right now.
Stone Cold, Steve Austin will meet The Rock here tonight for the WWE title.
There's a cover.
-It'll be live and… -[crowd cheering]
Well, there's Hawk right there.
What's he doing?
Hawk is here.
Powerbomb by Animal on Edge.
[Lawler] What is he doing? I thought he's gonna come out.
He's climbing up on the…
The ledge, edge of the TitanTron.
[JR] I have no idea what Hawk is doing.
That TitanTron is about… I don't know, 100 feet off the floor.
[Lawler] What's he doing?
What is he doing up there?
[referee] Get inside the ring! Get inside! One, two…
[Lawler] Is this guy messing up again tonight?
-[JR] I don't know. -JR, what kind of shape is he in?
[JR] You gotta wonder, you always wonder, unfortunately for--
-[Lawler] Where is he going? -This type of condition,
what kind of mental and physical state Hawk could be in.
My God, that's a little dangerous up there, King.
-[Lawler] A little? -[bell ringing]
[JR] Well…
Droz and, uh, Animal have been…
-Been counted out but-- -[Lawler] This is not good.
Hawk, what are you doing up there?
[JR] Hawk is up there. Folks, he's up there without a net.
-[Lawler] Oh, my God. -I don't like this.
[crowd chanting] Jump! Jump!
[Animal] …calm down. Nothing is worth this.
-This wrestling business ain't worth this! -[Hawk] I want you to live with this.
No, no, calm down.
Calm down.
I'm going to go out in glory.
Be careful. Calm down.
-[Lawler] It's a bad situation, JR. -Wait.
[JR] Folks, 911 has been called.
Apparently Hawk has threatened to jump.
He's misleading you.
You don't know.
Calm down. Be careful.
-[JR] Look at this-- -[Hawk] I will jump.
[JR] …Paul Ellering.
Hawk.
Hawk, I wish I could say I know how you feel,
but I can't.
What I do know, Hawk, is that you are a troubled spirit.
I know that, Hawk,
and I also know that right now,
you don't care very much about your life,
but I care about your life.
-My family cares about your life. -You care about my life?
My kids still call you uncle.
[Lawler] Ellering was Hawk and Animal's first manager,
-some 15 years ago. -Listen to me, Hawk.
Remember when you, Animal, and I went right down the highway,
and you told us the story of your mother,
six months before she died, Hawk.
You knew about it, and she knew about it,
and every day she told you,
she told you that things would always work out.
You have to draw on that, Hawk.
-You have to draw on that now. -[Hawk] Go to hell!
-Edge dropped me! -Hawk, you're not alone.
There are… Everybody in this world,
everybody in this world has failed, Hawk.
-Ellering… -You are not alone.
-You are the beginning… -Hawk.
…of my end.
Hawk, please. Come down here.
-I promise you, Hawk. -You and Animal…
-We'll take it. We'll take it. -…and that stinky…
…one minute at a time.
-And I can't wait-- -We'll take one hour at a time.
-You stay down. -[JR] Whoa.
-Don't you even-- -[Animal] Hawk.
-Don't you come up here. -[Animal] Be careful, be careful.
Be careful up there.
Mike.
So what it hasn't been our best year, so what?
There's always next year. Don't worry about it.
-Keep him away. -Take it easy.
-[JR] This is not good. -Take it easy up there.
Get off.
-Hey! -Stay the hell away from me.
You're the last person I want up here.
Get away.
It's all right, brother.
[Animal] Hawk, come on now, be careful up there.
-Hey, let Droz help you, hold on. -[JR] He'll make them both fall…
[Animal] Mike.
Mike, be careful, don't move.
-Don't move. -You let me down.
[Animal] You've been my brother for so long.
-Don't touch me. -Don't move!
-It's all right. -Don't touch--
Don't touch me.
Brother, it's all right. Come on, it's all right…
[Lawler] Get his shirt.
[screams] What?
-[crashing] -[JR] God Almighty!
Good God!
-Oh, my God. -[Animal exclaims]
[JR] Good God.
He fell.
[JR] Folks, tragedy has struck here on the War Zone moments ago.
Droz trying to, uh,
convince Hawk to come off the TitanTron, there you see.
[Lawler] What the hell!
[JR] I don't know if Droz, I don't wanna say he pushed him but,
here's the reaction that, uh,
that Animal had when he saw Hawk
fall from the top of the TitanTron, King,
and Droz should have left this up to the professionals.
[Lawler] Well, I'm… I still can't believe it.
[JR] If we got any word yet at all about--
Look, look at… Look at this.
He grabs his shirt but…
I hate to speculate that it was a…
An intentional shove but, uh, we are live now, ladies and gentlemen.
[siren wailing]
Back here, the, uh, there's Paul Ellering, currently the manager of DOA,
for many, many years, was the manager of the Road Warriors.
Folks, we'll get you a report on this, we promise.
We promise as soon as we possibly can here tonight.
["Wild Cat" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, the new WWE Women's Champion,
Sable!
[Lawler] Well… One can't grieve forever, JR.
The show must go on.
[JR] Ladies and gentlemen, as you know,
Sable won the WWE Women's Championship
at Survivor Series.
Of course, the Encore presentation of Survivor Series…
-Whoa! -…is tomorrow night on pay-per-view.
You'll see for yourself how she won the gold
and how Stone Cold and Mankind, among others,
got shafted out of there.
Sable,
you must be sitting on top of the world.
Who would have thought that within three years,
you'd go from being Hunter Hearst-Helmsley's valet,
to the WWE Women's Champion?
Dreams do come true.
Yes, they do.
And, Michael, it's been a wild ride.
But last night at Survivor Series
was the greatest accomplishment of my career.
And tonight,
I would like to dedicate the Women's Championship
to all the fans
of the World Wrestling Entertainment
who have made Sable who she is.
[crowd cheering]
[Shane] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hey, hey, hey, hold on a second.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -Sable.
-[JR] What an arrogant kid. -[crowd booing]
[JR] Remove the silver spoon and speak.
[Lawler] Watch your mouth.
You want to dedicate the WWE Women's Championship
to the fans?
-[crowd cheering] -Yeah, can you believe that?
The fans made Sable?
Oh, no, no, no. Sweetheart, that is definitely wrong.
There is only one man who made Sable, and that is "The Man",
Vincent K. McMahon, my pops.
[crowd booing]
[Lawler] Daddy dearest.
I mean, Sable,
the unbelievable investment that Mr. McMahon
has put into you over the last three years is not to be believed.
I mean, all the posters,
the magazine spreads,
the television appearances,
and Sable… [chuckles] he's a marketing genius,
because he took yet another beautiful face and he made himself
a star.
[Lawler] He did make her.
Made me a star?
I'm where I'm at in the World Wrestling Entertainment
because I worked damn hard for it.
Nobody gave me anything.
-[Lawler] Oh, easy, Sable, easy now. -[crowd cheering]
Oh, you, uh…
You worked real hard for it, didn't you, Sable?
But I guess that's what women just like you always do.
[Lawler exclaims]
-[JR] What'd he mean by that? -[Lawler laughs]
Real women…
Shane, the only thing that you know about real women,
are the ones you can buy.
And, honey, this one ain't for sale.
-[crowd cheering] -["Wild Cat" playing]
[JR] There you have it.
The WWE Women's Champion ain't for sale.
At any price.
Folks, uh,
we understand that Hawk has been taken to a local hospital.
He was breathing somewhat… normally.
Breathing, which is a hell of a good sign,
considering he fell off the top of the TitanTron.
And, uh, if we get any more information on that, we will, we promise update you.
And there you see The Rock.
The WWE showdown.
The title, The Rock, Austin, is moments away on Raw.
[man] And now the PlayStation Slam of the Week
featuring Medievil, a gothic tale straight from the grave
you'll be dying to play.
…to lose this match, I either had to be pinned and submit.
And The Rock did neither.
I'm not really sure I understand what the hell is going on around here.
You don't get it, right?
-No. -Well…
Get this, okay?
-[Lawler] Oh! -[JR] Oh, from behind.
Poor, sad son of a gun, Mick Foley.
[man] That was a PlayStation Slam of the Week.
Medievil. It will strike fear in the bravest of players.
You'll be dying to play.
You know, I feel so stupid.
There's no equipment, this is ridiculous.
[indistinct chatter]
This is the best I could find.
Let's go get it done before we lose our chance.
So, guys, let's do it slowly.
Let's root him out. Nice and slow.
-Okay… -I'll follow you.
[indistinct chatter]
[man 1] Oh, Mick?
[man 2] Mick?
[man 1] Mick?
[man 2] Mankind?
[man 1] Mick, we love you.
[man 2] Mankind?
[man 1] Mick, we love you, Mick.
[man 2] Spread out here.
[man 1] Mick? We love you.
You go this way. Go right there.
You go this way.
-[man 1] Mick? -[machines whirring loudly]
Mick, we love you.
Mick, Vince loves you too, you know.
Mick?
[grunting]
[Lawler] Oh, that's Mankind.
-How about another one? -[groaning]
[JR] Mankind, King.
Assaulting McMahon's associates
down in the Boiler Room.
[Lawler] They shouldn't go down there.
[grunting and groaning]
[Mankind speaking indistinctly]
[JR] Mankind, he was really… He was duped.
-He was humiliated. -[Lawler] Look out, look out.
[JR] Oh, man, this is…
This is gonna get nasty.
[Mankind shouting indistinctly]
[men grunting and groaning]
[Lawler] There's got to be more than football helmets and shoulder pads.
Uh-oh, he's coming out.
He's out of the Boiler Room.
[grunting and groaning continues]
[Lawler exclaims]
[Mankind yelling]
[JR] McMahon sent his associates to…
To fetch Mankind.
[grunting and groaning continues]
But the adventure is not very fruitful.
[Lawler] Time to retreat. Retreat!
[JR] Here comes Mankind.
He's left.
-Well, there's a Rattlesnake. -[crowd cheering]
Mankind may be coming our way, but we know one thing,
The Rattlesnake will challenge The Rock for the WWE title.
It's live and it's next.
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
the owners of the World Wrestling Entertainment,
Shane and Mr. McMahon!
[crowd booing]
[JR] We are just moments away, ladies and gentlemen,
from the WWE title on the line.
The first title defense of the new Corporate Champion, The Rock.
And so when The Rock…
quite frankly sold out at… At the Survivor Series.
Earlier tonight, Ken Shamrock joined Team Corporate if you will.
I wanna let you know I'm not happy about this Championship match.
I resent the hell out of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
And the fact that he would stoop so low…
as to associate himself with legal eagles,
that would bring a contract into this ring,
let me tell you this.
Austin, as far as I was concerned,
last night was the last time you would ever…
[crowd chanting] Asshole! Asshole! Asshole!
[Lawler] Can you believe this, JR?
Boy, that's Southern hospitality for you, isn't it?
-[Lawler] I'm ashamed, Mr. McMahon. -[crowd cheering]
As far as I'm concerned, last night, at Survivor Series,
was the last time Austin would ever come close,
to being the WWE Champion.
He had his shot, and he blew it.
[Lawler] That's right, that's the truth.
Austin…
you better be right, 'cause, this is it.
Tonight, in Kentucky, your last shot.
[crowd cheering]
Right now, I would like to introduce to you,
the Corporate Champion,
the World Wrestling Entertainment champion,
ladies and gentlemen, The Rock!
["Electrifying" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[JR] Can you see who's butt he's kissing?
[Lawler] Hey! I think it would be appropriate for you to stand up,
for you and I to stand up right now.
[JR] Why don't you go right ahead?
Apparently, Mr. McMahon, his son, Shane, his boy,
and The Rock
let us all in on the conspiracy that had everybody duped,
it was apparently, a plan all along.
[Lawler] To get back at these stupid people
who've been treating Mr. McMahon so badly.
[JR] And to make sure that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin would not become
the WWE champion.
So, Austin gets screwed, Mankind gets made a fool of,
bless his scrambled brain, heart.
[Lawler] Where is he?
Last week, we got history in the making, in the fact that, we'll see no more
People's Eyebrow, it's now the Corporate Eyebrow.
And, the People's Elbow, that's history, it's the Corporate Elbow from now on,
when The Rock lays the corporate smackdown on somebody.
[JR] So, McMahon has surrounded himself by his boy, Shane,
The Intercontinental Champion, Shamrock,
The WWE Champ, The Rock,
and of course, his WWE enforcer, The Big Boss Man.
And it don't look good for The Rattlesnake.
-["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[announcer] And the challenger, from Victoria, Texas,
weighing 252 pounds,
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin!
[JR] What an ovation for The Rattlesnake.
Almost 20,000 on their feet, here in Rupp Arena.
The bell rings, the title's on the line and here we go.
The Rattlesnake, full of venom,
stomping the hell out of The Rock.
Just like he would've done last night, if he'd been given the opportunity.
[Lawler] He's trying to make short work out of The Rock,
and make him one of the shortest-reigning champions in WWE history, yeah.
[JR] Oh, and Rock, The Rock taking a U-turn.
He doesn't want a part of The Rattlesnake, Oh, hell no!
[Lawler] He's a smart Corporate Champion.
[JR] He sold his soul to the devil master himself.
He checked his principles, his values, and his morals at the door,
did The Rock, and The Rattlesnake says to hell with this, you're not walking away
-What a knockdown. -[Lawler] Oh, no!
[JR] Austin, with a forearm shot,
a clothesline right in the face of The Rock.
And these people are standing,
the atmosphere is electrifying here tonight.
[Lawler] Just because Rock takes the easy way,
instead of like Austin, always trying to do things the hard way,
nothing wrong with doing things the easy way.
Rock's the champion, isn't he?
[JR] The snapmare takeover, and the elbow right into the sternum,
lateral press, and The Rock able to kick out.
WWE title is on the line here.
-[Lawler] Oh! -We are live, at a sold-out Rupp Arena.
This crowd is jacked, and Austin has never looked better.
[Lawler] Look out! Oh!
[JR] Halfway across the ring, it could be over,
Oh, The Rock barely got a shoulder up. A long, two-count.
[Lawler] Look at Mr. McMahon, he's about to have a heart attack.
[JR] That's impossible.
[Lawler] Why?
[JR] And there's a swinging neck breaker.
The Rock with a swinging neck breaker and a knockdown.
He's 6'5", 275…
-[Lawler] There you go, Rock. -[JR] He's 26-years old,
and he's the WWE champion.
[Lawler] Corporate Champion, I might add.
The Rock, getting a little physical there with the referee, Earl Hebner.
[Lawler] He knows better than to disqualify the champ, corporate champ.
-[JR] Austin on the outside. -[Lawler] Look out, look out, ah!
[JR] And Austin nailed on the outside by The Rock.
Clothesline by The Rock, Austin goes up and over.
And now The Rock goes outside.
Austin meets The Rock with a right hand.
A succession of rights.
A big-time right.
And Rock tossed back inside.
[Lawler] That's it, Rock, get away from the people,
you're the Corporate Champion.
-Oh, no! Get away from the chair. -[JR] Oh, no, not the chair, don't do it.
-[Lawler] Yes, yes! -[JR] You'll get disqualified,
and you don't want to do that if this is your last chance.
You gotta make the most of it, Rattlesnake.
[Lawler] I don't think either one of these guys care right now.
[JR] "Stone Cold" Steve Austin pulled the trump card, a contract,
that he signed with Shane McMahon on November the 2nd,
for the WWE title. But this night is Austin's only opportunity,
according to McMahon, to win the WWE title
you're seeing it live, right here, right now.
[indistinct shouting]
The Rock choking Austin.
The Rock taking every shortcut he can to keep the title.
[Lawler] Look at these people, it's gonna make The Rock mad.
[Lawler exclaims]
[JR] Right hands, right hands!
-[Lawler] Look out, look out, Rock! -[JR] The Rock with another right hand.
[JR] Austin just nailed the champion.
-Austin just nailed the champion -[Lawler] Watch it!
[JR] The piledriver.
-No! -[Lawler] This could get him.
-[JR] It's blocked. -[Lawler] Look out!
[JR] A backdrop, up and over by--
[Lawler] The corporate champ.
[JR] The action here has been as much outside as it's been in the ring
and another knockdown by The Rock.
The WWE Championship hangs in the balance here.
[crowd chanting] Austin, Austin, Austin!
[JR] Listen to this crowd chanting for The Rattlesnake.
The Rock throwing Austin back inside.
Here, we go.
Whipped to the…
-near side. -[Lawler] Oh, he got him.
-[JR] There's a sleeper by The Rock. -[Lawler] Corporate sleeper.
[JR] Oh, and Austin driving The Rock back into the corner.
There's the elbows to the ribcage.
Austin, another right hand.
The Rattlesnake will strike, he'll strike anything that's breathing.
[Lawler] No! [grunts]
[JR] Watch that, The Rock is a magnificent son of a gun.
He may not have any character…
-He's a hell of an athlete. -[Lawler] Listen, let me take over.
There it goes, you're fixing to see for the first time ever in history,
the brand new and improved Corporate Elbow! Woooo!
[JR] The Rock scored with that one, much to the delight of McMahon and family,
and associates.
[Lawler] Yes!
[JR] And The Rock, now, cinching in hard.
[Lawler] Punish him! Now he's gonna punish him,
just for the delight of that man right there. Ha-ha!
[crowd cheering and chanting]
[JR] This crowd, chanting, just like the sixth man in basketball,
here in Rupp Arena, to get Austin back in the game here.
The Rock is holding on, he wants to keep The Rattlesnake grounded.
[Lawler] Squeeze him! Squeeze his head like a pebble.
Put the pressure on him, Rock!
The McMahons cannot allow Austin to win the WWE title,
if they can do anything about it.
[Lawler] He's almost down.
[JR] But if Austin hits the Stunner, and it can come at any time,
from any position, it will be over.
-[Lawler] No! -[JR] And now, The Rattlesnake.
He's still got the fight left in him.
-[JR] Austin! -[Lawler] Woooo!
-[Lawler] Yes! -[JR] Got knocked back down by The Rock.
-[Lawler] He almost knocked his teeth out. -[JR] There's a cover, one…
-Two, and that's it. -[Lawler] Yes! Yes! Oh!
[JR] A near fall.
-And there's Mankind! -[Lawler] Oh, no!
[JR] Mankind trying to get at Vince McMahon.
[JR] Mankind! Mankind, trying to get at Vince McMahon.
[Lawler] What's he doing out here?
[JR] Mankind, poor Mick Foley made a fool of.
He's finally smartened up maybe.
[Lawler] Come on, Boss Man, do your job!
[JR] The title on the line, in the ring,
and, uh, Mankind--
[Lawler] Look at him, he's trying to get to Mr. McMahon, hold him back.
[JR] Well, Shamrock's here, so is The Boss Man.
I'm betting McMahon is in pretty good hands here.
[Lawler] Good job, Shamrock, stay on him.
[JR] The WWE title is on the line in the ring.
[Lawler] Here we go, here we go, yes!
[JR] Well, Shamrock and The Boss Man
gonna do a manly job of two-on-one.
Oh, what a clean shot. Shamrock got a clean shot on Mankind.
Scrambling Mick Foley's brains even worse.
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
[Lawler] Look at Mr. McMahon, he's got him.
[JR] Austin's back up now, Austin's back up.
Full of fist and fire, the title on the line.
Austin wants to get in some.
Right hands by The Rattlesnake.
The Rock, sent for the ride,
downstairs, oh, Austin going for the Stunner.
[Lawler] Look at that, Rock Bottom!
-[JR] The Rock trying to hit the Rock-- -[Lawler] No!
[JR] Downstairs, yes! It's over.
He did it! Austin did it! One, two…
Oh, Shamrock, damn him.
-Shamrock pulled the referee out. -[Lawler] Who did?
[JR] Austin had the title won.
-Austin had the title won. -[Lawler] No!
-[Lawler] Look at this! -[JR] They'll screw him again.
-[Lawler] Wait, look who's here. -[JR] The Undertaker's here.
-[JR] The Undertaker's got a shovel. -[Lawler] A shovel!
[JR] The Undertaker's got a shovel.
-[Hebner] What the hell're you doing? -[JR] Oh, God Almighty!
The Undertaker hit Austin right in the head with a shovel.
[bell ringing]
The Undertaker hits Austin in the head with a shovel.
And Austin is out.
-[Bearer] Come on! -[JR] Austin had the title won.
Austin had the title won.
Why did The Undertaker, why did he do that? No, hey!
[Lawler] What?
[JR] Paul Bearer stopping The Undertaker.
Has The Undertaker joined this corporate team as well?
What is going on here?
[indistinct shouting]
The Rattlesnake had the WWE title won.
Why did The Undertaker assault Austin with that shovel?
[Lawler] Yeah!
[JR] Austin, he could have a hell of a concussion.
The Rock is still the WWE champion.
But, why? Why did The Undertaker strike Austin?
Why? Why?
[rock music playing]
[crowd cheering]
Come on!
