[commentator] This is WWE history in the making,
an empty arena match for the first time ever.
Rock and Mankind going at it for the WWE title,
pinfalls will count anywhere in the arena.
We have cameras in the locker rooms, in the parking lots.
We have cameras everywhere.
[The Rock] Finally, Halftime Super Bowl.
[commentator] The Rock and Mankind taking it to each other,
the most unusual, most unique WWE championship match in history.
We're scrambling for cameras. We have them everywhere.
They're coming down the hallway.
Here we are, they're spilling out here in front of the crew.
That's where they are now. They're out on a loading dock.
The Mandible Claw, that paralyzing maneuver, and--
Oh, down he goes!
That paralyzing maneuver of Mankind is taking its effect on The Rock.
What's he gonna do now?
He's going to run over him. No, that's going to crush The Rock.
No, don't pin him. No, no!
Mankind becomes the WWE Champion with the aid of a forklift.
[upbeat music playing]
All right, here's the deal. Vinnie Mac's on special assignment.
He's down at Victoria, Texas to provoke and confront "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
to get that contract broke.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
So while Vinnie Mac's away, I got the keys to the kingdom again,
so we're gonna do things my way tonight.
Now, The Rock's on a personal appearance, he'll be here in about 20, 25 minutes.
Where's Kane?
I don't wanna travel with him.
Oh, that guy needs to chill and take a Midol,
he's always in a bad mood.
You let the big red [muted] get here on his own?
Kane's coming here on his own? How-- [groans]
If you guys shared half a brain, you'd all be so dangerous.
Let's go. Here we go. We've got things to do.
Chyna baby, we're up. Let's go.
Say excuse me, [bleep].
[crowd cheering]
[upbeat music playing]
[Michael Cole] Welcome to the hottest show on cable TV.
Sports entertainment at its best, this is the Raw is WAR.
And tonight, tonight where we will hear from the new WWE Champion, Mankind,
who won the title last night on Halftime Heat
in perhaps the most controversial title match in WWE history.
[crowd cheering]
And here comes the Corporation led by Shane McMahon,
and King, Shane is again in charge.
Remember what happened the last time he was in charge.
[announcer] …Shane McMahon.
[Jerry Lawler] Do I ever remember?
All hell broke loose the last time Shane was in charge,
and I don't think tonight's gonna be any different.
[Cole] But King, why is Mr. McMahon all the way down in Texas
trying to stir up something with that ornery Rattlesnake?
[Lawler] He's gonna catch a Rattlesnake tonight. He's gonna confront him.
He's gonna put "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in his place.
Vince McMahon is gonna humiliate that Rattlesnake.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] What's with these people?
[Cole] The same chant the fans have for Mr. McMahon are for his son Shane.
First of all, I'd like to thank the Corporation very much
for escorting me down here, gentlemen, but you know what?
Guys, my name's not X-Pac.
I don't need to hide behind all that beat. Oh, no, no, no. I don't need that.
My name is McMahon. I'm a man. I stand on my own.
So guys, again, thanks for bringing me out.
Why don't you go in the back, just chill out? I got this one.
Yeah, I'm cool. Yeah, it's cool…
-I'm sure… -[indistinct conversation]
[Lawler] That huge metal cage is hanging over this ring like a dark cloud.
That means trouble for somebody, and look at Shane. I mean,
-he is a man's man. -Now for those of you who don't know,
my pops, Vinnie Mac, is on special assignment.
Oh, yes, he's down Victoria, Texas,
the hometown of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] That means the Rattlesnake's gonna be beheaded tonight.
[Shane] Make no mistake about it. Vince is there on a mission.
He has a purpose,
and that purpose is to confront and to provoke "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
into breaking his contract, because remember,
if "Stone Cold" Steve Austin lays one little itty-bitty finger on my father,
Austin is fired from World Wrestling Entertainment
on the spot.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Or Austin's gonna have to get in the cage with Mr. McMahon.
If by some miracle Austin does show some restraint,
then Austin, I definitely, definitely do not envy you
because in two weeks' time, at the St. Valentine's Day Massacre,
Austin, my pops is gonna beat your ass from one side of the cage to the other.
Oh, yeah.
[Cole] That takes place in less than two weeks.
Look at that cage above. Bring that bad boy down.
Oh, yeah. Come on, bring it down.
Austin, you think my father would run from you? Oh, no.
-[crowd cheering] -[Cole] There's that ominous cage.
[Shane] Austin, do you think for one second that my pop
-is gonna jump over that cage? -[Cole] It's Kane versus Triple H tonight,
-in that cage, King. -[Shane] Uh-uh. He's not.
He's gonna beat your ass again, leave you laying right here,
walk out the door of the cage, up in the back, victorious.
-Now, tonight, right here on RAW… -[Cole] King, look at that.
-[Lawler] Will you shut up? -[Cole] King, look.
-[Lawler] What? -[Cole] It's X-Pac on the cage.
-Shane doesn't see it. What the… -[Shane] Right here, Triple H takes on
none other than Corporate Kane to give you guys a little taste,
a little taste of what's gonna happen.
[Cole] And look, this is in the locker room area.
DX has got the Corporation. The Corporation is being attacked by DX.
-Shane is left alone in the ring. -[Shane] …you punk.
-[Cole] Shane. -[Shane] If you ever get in my face again,
-I will break you in half like dust. -[Cole] Shane doesn't see X-Pac.
-The cage is lowering. -[Lawler] Shane, he's on the cage.
[Cole] Now he sees him.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] X-Pac, revenge on his mind.
[Shane] I was just joking, I was just joking!
[Cole] It was last week on Raw where Shane was berating Kane.
[Shane] You wanna go with me?
[Cole] And X-Pac asked Kane to join DX.
Kane said no way, chokeslammed X-Pac,
and then X-Pac delivered the bronco buster to Shane.
I should say Shane delivered the bronco buster to X-Pac.
-[Lawler] Oh, no. -[Cole] Revenge now on X-Pac's mind.
And here we go.
[Lawler] Shane needs some help out here, quick.
[Cole] Look who's here now, King.
Here's his help, the newest member of the the Corporation, Chyna.
[Lawler] Yes. Good job.
[Cole] Chyna from behind, the newest member of the Corporation.
Toe to toe with X-Pac.
-[Cole] Oh. -[Lawler] Oh, no.
[Cole] Out of respect, X-Pac didn't seem like--
He wanted to hit Chyna, but there's the low blow.
So much for being the nice guy, Chyna low blows X-Pac.
[Lawler] Yes.
[Cole] Chyna, the newest member of the Corporation.
[Lawler] I think maybe Shane bust his lip.
[Cole] Look at this now. Chyna is going to hold X-Pac for Shane. Oh.
[Lawler] Yes. I'll tell you what, if Shane's got a busted lip,
he's gonna take it out on X-Pac big time. He's doing it. Yes.
[Cole] Last week, it was the bronco buster on X-Pac from Shane.
This week, blows to the stomach as Chyna hold X-Pac back.
-[Lawler] Look at this. -[Cole] Oh into that steel cage.
-[Lawler] Yes. -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] I'm telling you, Mr. McMahon said
that Shane has a testicles the size of grapefruits.
I think now, they're the size of pomegranates. Look at this, oh.
[Cole] Chyna, the newest member of the Corporation.
Last night on Heat, she said she joined the Corporation
because she wanted some of the spotlight.
And don't get her wrong, she did it for the money.
[Lawler] I think Shane's lip is really busted.
[Cole] Chyna's a sell-out,
and now she's comforting one of the owners of the WWE.
[Lawler] X-Pac is getting off light. I think he's disfigured Shane's face.
[Cole] Shane McMahon…
[Lawler] Listen, shut up. We need medical attention for Shane, quick.
[Cole] I think we need attention for X-Pac
as Chyna leads Shane now out of that steel cage,
comforting the son of the owner of the WWE.
[Lawler] I think the skin's broken.
[Cole] Well, King, you know, the WWE Super Bowl commercial
received rave reviews, thumbs up from the media all over.
[upbeat music playing]
Most people have the wrong impression about World Wrestling Entertainment.
We're a non-violent form of entertainment.
[grunts]
We never use sex to enhance our image.
As athletes, we understand the importance of being positive role models.
We're good, wholesome, family entertainment.
We're trying to make the world a better place for mankind.
[narrator] WWE Attitude.
-Get it? -[car alarm wailing]
[Vince McMahon] Patterson, Brisco, come on, let's go.
I don't have all night. Come on. I want to provoke that SOB.
When we find him, I'm gonna provoke him.
When I provoke him, that's when he's gonna break his contract.
However, hang on one second here.
First of all, I'd like to say this, you both look ridiculous.
Yeah, but Vince, we're in Texas.
I understand we're in Texas,
and since we're in Texas, I want you to follow my lead,
you understand?
Because I know how to handle these kind of people.
-Good. -All right.
-Good. -I've been in Texas all my life.
Yeah, we may have to whip a couple of tonight,
and let's give it a try.
Right.
Hey toots, toots. Have you seen "Stone Cold" Steve Austin?
I understand that he frequents this establishment.
Reckon not.
You reckon not?
Now either you've seen "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, yes,
or you haven't seen "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, no.
Where I come from, we don't "reckon." So now what's it gonna be?
Well, I reckon y'all better get your asses out of here.
What the hell kind of people are you anyhow?
I asked a simple question, have you seen "Stone Cold"--
I'll find him. Come on, let's go. I'll find him.
-It gets ugly in here, doesn't it? -Yeah.
And King, we're gonna continue to follow
Mr. McMahon's safari through Rattlesnake country
as he tries to provoke "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
Well, you know what?
We all know that that hot head, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,
has less than zero self-control.
So sometime tonight, the Rattlesnake will strike.
He'll attack Mr. McMahon, but the good news is,
he'll be fired on the spot when he does,
and Mr. McMahon will not have to go in that cage with that animal.
And also tonight, Steel Cage Match Triple H versus Kane.
[announcer] …the World Wrestling Entertainment Intercontinental Champion,
Ken Shamrock.
[Cole] And King, speaking of zero self-control,
Shamrock's been furious with Val Venis as of late.
Apparently, Shamrock's sister has taken a liking to Val.
First, gyrations and flirtations at ringside,
and last week, the debut of Val's latest video,
starring Shamrock's sister.
[Lawler] Oh, yeah. And what a hot, steamy shower scene that was.
You know, Shamrock's sister was cool with being in the video,
you'd think that Shamrock would be proud his sister's a movie star.
Running over here.
-[Cole] Oh, listen to you now. -[Lawler] What?
[Cole] Are we getting red carpet reception here?
-Yes, sir. -[Lawler] Have a seat, Kenny.
I was just telling Michael Cole one of the sharpest guys I know.
[Cole] Why don't you tell him what you really were saying?
I'd advise you to shut your mouth 'cause I'll punch you in your face.
-Right. -Okay.
Here comes Billy Gunn.
[crowd cheering]
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall
with a 20-minute time limit.
About to enter the ring, representing D-Generation X,
weighing 268 pounds,
Bad Ass Billy Gunn.
[Cole] And first off, King, you have a serious problem with Mr. Ass.
[Lawler] You're gonna have to show restraint.
Don't dare me, punk.
[Lawler] Try to control yourself, Kenny.
Just sit down. Just try to stay seated.
Yeah. I'll tear that thing off if you put it out too long, punk.
You're not world class, you're a piece of trash,
that's what you are.
-I'm world class. -[Lawler] Calm down.
We know that he is the idiot that had the audacity to moon your sister,
and it's hard to restrain yourself, but you've got to, Kenny.
Last time in the ring, I about killed his ass. I'll do it again.
[Lawler] Okay. Calm down now.
[crowd cheering]
[Shamrock] I about put him out of his career, I'll end him.
[Lawler] Stay calm, stay calm.
Let's just go ahead and make this short and sweet.
Now, if you're not down with Mr. Ass, I got two words for you.
[crowd] Suck it.
[Cole] Well, I think, this crowd is down with Mr. Ass.
[Lawler] Yeah… uh-oh.
Hey, Kenny, stay here. Kenny, put these back on.
Come on, put these back on. Put these back on, Kenny.
[announcer] His opponent, from Las Vegas, Nevada,
weighing 242 pounds,
Val Venis.
[Cole] Hey Ken, no disrespect,
but I'd like to get your views on Val Venis's latest production.
[Shamrock] What do you think of it? He doesn't belong in our society.
They ought to ban that kind of stuff.
My sister, I told her how she should go on.
I told her the kind of guys that she should go out with,
and he is nothing but bad for her.
All he's gonna do is take advantage. Everybody knows what men want,
and I know what he wants, and he's not good for her,
and he ain't going out with her
because I'm telling her she can't go out with him.
[Cole] She can't?
No, I'm telling her she can't.
[Cole] So it's Val Venis versus Bad Ass Billy Gunn,
but we're gonna hear from Mr. Venis here.
-[Lawler] Try to control yourself, Kenny. -[Val Venis] Hello ladies.
[crowd cheering]
You know something?
The Big Valbowski is a lot like a custom Harley.
You know, elegance in the eyes, powerful between the legs…
-[Cole] Oh. -[Lawler] Easy, Kenny.
And ready to be rode all night long.
You don't mess with family. That's my sister they're talking about.
I told her, when she was young, what kind of guys to go out with,
and I told her about these type of guys.
When I was talking to her when all this happened,
I told her to stay away from both of them.
They are bad news.
[Lawler] This happened before?
She's brought home and tried to date guys that you didn't approve of?
[Shamrock] There ain't no guys that I approve of.
[Lawler] Not even--
-Never. -[Lawler] Look at this.
[Cole] Billy Gunn just mooned Val Venis.
[Lawler] That's the same thing he did to your sister.
[Cole] Here comes Bad Ass Billy Gunn now, stomping away at Val Venis.
[crowd cheering]
Ken, in all honesty though,
and I don't mean to bring up a bad subject here
and no disrespect meant,
but did it ever cross your mind that perhaps the situation between Val
and your sister could be consensual?
[Shamrock] Consensual? She has no right to make a decision.
I make decisions for her.
I've done it since she was a kid all the way until she's grown up,
and she's done very well.
She's done very well since now.
And now she's gonna get mixed up with this kind of stuff? Uh-uh. I…
[Cole] She approves of you making the decisions?
[Shamrock] She don't got a choice. I'm her older brother.
[Cole] Cover here, first one, and a kick-out after two.
[Lawler] Kenny, you're talking trash in Val Venis--
This is a guy that makes X-rated movies with your sister.
[Shamrock] They should ban this kind of stuff.
This is the kind of stuff they should throw it
-out of America. -[Cole] Cover again.
[Shamrock] She'd never be seeing it. It's trash. It corrupts kids' minds.
[Lawler] Are you saying you've never watched an adult movie?
Absolutely not. That stuff is trash.
[Lawler] Michael Cole has a collection of it.
[Cole] Cover now, and a kick-out. King, please.
[Shamrock] I have some values, King.
[Lawler] How are you able to sit here and control yourself,
and not go up there and take his head off?
[Shamrock] I tell you, it's hard because I'm jumping and--
I'm just jumping here, but I promised my sister
that I wouldn't lay a hand on her.
[Lawler] You're telling me that…
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
Listen to those idiots.
[Cole] You're saying that you promised your sister
you would not lay a hand on Val Venis?
You can't hear something I said?
I promised my sister I cannot lay a hand on him.
And I'm a man of my word.
-Okay. -Not like most people I know.
-King? -But this worries me.
I mean, to me, that infers that your sister--
She must have some feelings for this guy if she don't want you to tear him apart.
[Shamrock] She doesn't know any better, King.
I'm the one-- I know what she's doing.
This guy's corrupting her mind. She's not thinking straight.
[Lawler] They were in the shower together. Did you see that?
On TV. Now tell me. He's corrupting her. It ain't her fault, it's him.
[Cole] But Ken, she's a grown woman.
[Shamrock] Hey, I'm telling you something, he's corrupting her.
Just like he's corrupting these people in the audience with the gyration stuff.
[Cole] Val Venis.
And he's gonna take it out now on BA Billy Gunn.
[Lawler] I can tell you, Cole, you might not keep trying to antagonize Kenny
because he didn't promise his sister that he wouldn't tear our head off.
[Shamrock] Right.
[Cole] Ken, last week, it was Val Venis versus Test,
and it was you who came down with a chair and clocked Val Venis--
[Shamrock] Shut your mouth, okay?
You have to remember one thing. He disrespected my sister.
And nobody, nobody gets away with that.
I don't care what I got to do and how I got to do it. I will get it done.
[Lawler] I think his hands were all over her body in that shower.
I don't want to hear about it no more.
I think he was actually soaping her up.
King, you better close your mouth because you're making me upset.
[Cole] Cover by Val Venis, hooks the leg, that's two, and a kick-out.
-[Shamrock] I know what happened. -I'm as appalled about it as you are.
I got a sister too. I don't even know how you can sit here.
I would be up there right now,
I would be ripping every single stick in hand and tear out his head.
Listen King, I'm a man of my word.
I told her I would not lay hand on him, and that's what I mean.
I won't lay hand on him.
As much as I wanna go out there and tear these two apart.
[Cole] But with that said, Ken, both of these men
do want the Intercontinental Championship from you.
[Lawler] And both of these men want your sister.
It's just a crying shame. A porn star, look at him.
[Ken] You're starting to [bleep] me off.
[Lawler] It's not me, it's that guy.
I don't want to hear it no more. Stop talking about it.
-[Cole] King… -[Shamrock] I seen it, I know.
-[Lawler] He'll corrupt her. -[Cole] Billy Gunn's in trouble here.
Arm goes down now, and this one's over and Billy Gunn stops it.
And here comes Bad Ass now, trying to gain some momentum.
[Lawler] Kenny, do you think your sister has seen the Big Valbowski in person?
-[Cole] Oh. -[Shamrock] You say one more thing,
I'm gonna slam your head through this table.
[Lawler] I just-- I'm on your side.
[Shamrock] I know, but you're saying things I don't want to know about or hear.
[Lawler] I feel your pain on this, Kenny. It's awful.
I got half a mind to just go up there and just slap that grin off his--
No, Kenny, you can't do it now.
-[Cole] Whoa, Kenny. -[Lawler] You promised, Kenny.
[Cole] Shamrock has got a chair, King.
[Lawler] Kenny, no! No, no, no. Oh.
[Cole] Shamrock just nailed Val Venis, and here's Billy Gunn now.
Shamrock just snapped.
[Lawler] Wait a minute now.
He actually didn't lay his hands on him. He hit him with a chair, so…
[Cole] And no help to you antagonizing him like that.
[Lawler] Shamrock has kept his promise to his sister, technically.
[Cole] Shamrock seething with hate for Val,
well actually, for both of those men in the ring, BA Billy Gunn as well.
Oh. Val Venis from behind.
King, King, I think that Val thought Billy Gunn hit him with a chair.
-[Lawler] Look out. -[Cole] Oh.
Val Venis thought Billy Gunn nailed him for the second straight week.
[Lawler] Boy, Val, not the sharpest knife in the drawer, nor is Ken Shamrock,
but at least Shamrock does love her sister.
[Cole] The new WWE Champion, Mankind, has been on a champion spending spree.
He's got Rock's $100,000 and it's from Shane's trust fund.
-Huh? -No, I don't wanna buy him.
I just wanna rent him for three days.
Well, how can you rent Mini?
My kids are gonna love this guy. I'll take him over.
-Hola, Mankind. -[coos]
But wait a minute, he's not a Tickle Me Elmo.
-How much money are we talking about? -How much you got?
I got 487 dollar-eenies.
Take it or leave it. You're gonna have one heck of good time.
-Okay. Take him. -Come here little guy, come on.
[speaking Spanish]
[Lawler] Look at this.
He stole Rock's money and he spent it on that idiot.
You want to hold the belt?
Okay. Do you not understand what The Rock is saying?
This big fat [muted] Mankind, he's running around town,
spending The Rock's money like it's going out of style.
We're talking about $97,000, a week's pay for The Rock.
That's five new shirts for The Rock.
Rock, easy, all right? There's more where that came from.
-[The Rock] Okay. -Rock.
-The Rock understands. -I'll take care of it.
While you're taking care of business,
The Rock is just gonna have to do what The Rock has to do
when he has to do it, if you smell what The Rock--
You know the rest.
[country music playing]
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh. Mr. McMahon, you're in Texas.
Set your watch back 20 years.
[man] Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time is the manager
of the new WWE Tag Team Champions, Debra.
[Cole] And King, what a wild night.
Mister McMahon's in Texas, Rattlesnake hunting,
Mankind is spending Rock's money,
and Triple H and Kane are getting set to meet in the cage.
[Lawler] The Undertaker's here tonight as well.
[Cole] And here's Debra.
Congratulations on the success of Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett.
But many people feel that you have been instrumental
to their meteoric rise to the top here in the WWE.
I think so. Well, of course, I did, Kevin.
But, I mean, now, with their ability combined with my irresistibility,
nobody stands a chance.
This body means business, as well as pleasure.
Very nice, very nice.
So I have to wonder, Debra, what is really on the horizon for…
-[Cole] Hey. -[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Sexual Chocolate.
[Lawler] He loves the ladies.
Well, pleasure's my middle name
and that's just about all I wanna do is give you--
I think, me and you should hook up.
-[Lawler] He gave her roses. -Ooh, that sounds interesting.
But tell me something, honey.
You think you got what it takes to make me hot, Chocolate?
-[Lawler] Oh. -Ooh.
I'm the kind of chocolate that melts in your mouth, not in your hand.
Ooh. I like it.
-[grunts] -[Cole] Hey, that's Jeff Jarrett
-and Owen Hart from behind. -[crowd boos]
King, we saw Mark Henry last week putting the moves on Debra,
and this week, it's Jarrett and Owen Hart
taking out their frustrations on Mark Henry.
They're the Tag Team Champions.
[Lawler] He was set up. He came out here and gave Debra roses.
It's not even Valentine's Day, and this is what gets in return.
[Cole] When is Mark Henry gonna learn?
[Lawler] Mark's one of those good people that bad things happen to.
[Cole] Hey, Mark Henry's blind to what he calls his animal magnetism.
I don't think he understands why women don't find him quite attractive.
[Lawler] He just went with it.
[Cole] Debra is laughing about all this.
Mark Henry gave her a rose and this is what he gets.
Sexual chocolate is melting.
-Look at this. -[Lawler] Wow.
[Cole] Debra and the Tag Team Champions, Jeff and Owen.
Kurrgan, listen to me. Diversification is the key.
What you need is an eclectic blend of 47% stocks,
38% bonds, 19% in a money market account.
The economy is booming, the interest rates are down.
It's time, Kurrgan, to buy, damn it! Buy!
-But I don't have any money. -I've got money. Here.
Go out there and secure your family's future.
[Lawler] A fool and Rock's money are being parted again.
[Cole] We're back on Raw and it was a month ago,
a verbal confrontation between D'Lo Brown and a pregnant Terri Runnels.
Terri fell off the apron of the ring and she claims
-that she lost her baby in that fall. -[Terri] My baby. My baby.
-I don't know. -What?
-I don't know. I can't say… -[Terri] Oh, God.
[Cole] D'Lo Brown so remorseful.
He feels he's to blame, and he's promised Terri
he'll do whatever she needs to make up for that terrible incident.
[announcer] The following is scheduled for one fall with a 20-minute time limit.
Introducing first, accompanied by PMS,
weighing 268 pounds,
D'Lo Brown.
[Lawler] So PMS leading D'Lo to the ring and Terri's got a little grin on her face.
I don't know what she's thinking. I'm from Mars, she's from Venus.
I guess she just wants revenge. What's wrong with that?
[Cole] Well folks, St. Valentine's Day Massacre
live exclusively on Pay-Per-View in less than two weeks on February 14th.
Proudly presented by Western Union Money Transfer,
the fastest way to send money worldwide,
and King, McMahon, Austin, in a steel cage in Memphis.
[Lawler] Oh, it's gonna be great.
[Cole] You know, Mr. McMahon down in Texas, Rattlesnake hunting.
Looking for "Stone Cold".
Hey, D'Lo, sweetheart,
it looks like the time has come again.
And you would think that the men around here would've learned a lesson
and learned not to mess with PMS.
Evidently not.
What I think probably needs to happen at this point
is we need to teach a pig another lesson.
You know, Terri, all I wanna know is this,
when is this crap gonna stop, because I'm sure getting tired of it.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Uh-oh.
[D'Lo] Now haven't I proved to you enough, haven't I done whatever it took,
time and time again, to prove to you how sorry I am?
When is enough enough?
[Lawler] She lost her baby, man.
-D'Lo. -[D'Lo] What?
We're not done with you yet, not by a long shot.
[Lawler] You skank?
Sweetheart, you got some more proving to do to me. Boss Man?
A little while ago, in the back, you called me a [bleep].
[Lawler] Wait a minute, he said a witch. He called her a witch, Michael.
What I have to say to that is, get out here right now,
so D'Lo can make you his [bleep].
[Cole] Whoa. A little bit of a misunderstanding here, perhaps,
and I don't think D'Lo Brown is ready for this one,
but Terri Runnels has called the Big Boss Man out
to take on D'Lo Brown,
-who's gonna do PMS's dirty work again. -[announcer] Representing team Corporate,
from Cobb County, Georgia, weighing 297 pounds,
the Big Boss Man.
[Lawler] I wanna tell you, D'Lo, you're in a world of trouble now.
[Cole] The Corporate team's security guard, The Enforcer,
300 pounds of meanness, physical, the Big Boss Man,
who is gonna make D'Lo serve some hard time here if D'Lo isn't careful.
[Lawler] Maybe D'Lo can back out of this.
[Cole] D'Lo is telling Boss he doesn't wanna do it,
but we've got a match on our hands, I think.
[indistinct conversation]
[Cole] D'Lo Brown, former European Champion, 270-pounder,
hammering away on Boss Man should be a great matchup.
Boss Man to the forehead.
D'Lo perhaps the most underrated athlete
in World Wrestling Entertainment today,
with the Boss Man from Cobb County, Georgia
going to work on D'Lo Brown.
[Lawler] Look at the smiles on the faces of PMS down here at ringside.
[Cole] D'Lo whipped into the turnbuckle.
Boss Man follows it up with a big splash, and D'Lo in trouble early,
and Boss Man with a right hand.
-[Lawler] Big right hand. -[Cole] Mr. McMahon is down in Texas,
looking to provoke "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
Why does he wanna provoke "Stone Cold" into breaking his contract?
Perhaps Mr. McMahon is a little yellow going into that cage match in two weeks.
[Lawler] The only thing yellow in Texas is "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
That's why Mr. McMahon had to go there
because Austin's afraid to come here and face Mr. McMahon.
You know why? Because Mr. McMahon already embarrassed
and humiliated Austin at the Royal Rumble.
Mr. McMahon won it and Austin knows it.
If he came face to face with McMahon again,
boy, he'd do it to him again.
McMahon would embarrass him again, and Austin, he couldn't take that.
[Cole] D'Lo whipped into the ropes. Boss Man misses with the right hand
and D'Lo with a great standing kick that time.
What an athlete, D'Lo Brown.
Mr. McMahon, "Stone Cold", in a cage in less than two weeks on Pay-Per-View
at the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, but later on tonight,
a cage match between Triple H and Kane,
and Triple H may be in a bit more than he bargained for.
[Lawler] That big huge cage is hanging right over our heads right now.
They wanted me to do it. I'm gonna kick your ass.
[Cole] D'Lo Brown yelling at PMS.
It was Terri Runnels who called for this matchup.
D'Lo second rope, forearm into the sternum, hooks the leg,
and a kick-out by Boss Man.
[Lawler] I'll tell you, those are pretty mean sisters at ringside,
they got something evil on their minds, I'm telling you.
[Cole] We showed you the situation earlier on between Ken Shamrock and Val Venis.
We understand this match has just been made
for St. Valentine's Day Massacre, Val Venis versus Ken Shamrock
for the Intercontinental Championship
in less than two weeks at the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
[Lawler] Look at this.
[Cole] Terri Runnels and Jacqueline now up on the apron. D'Lo, Lo Down.
This one's over, hook to the leg, but PMS is distracting the ref.
[Lawler] Girls, get him during the count.
[Cole] What are they doing? D'Lo Brown had this match won.
-[Lawler] I don't know. -What are you two doing?
[indistinct conversation]
[Cole] And D'Lo Brown asking the same question,
and Boss Man now, oh, my, what a sidewalk slam, hook to the leg,
-Boss Man capitalizes. -[bell rings]
-This one's over. -[Lawler] Look at that.
[announcer] Here is your winner, the Big Boss Man.
[Lawler] I don't get it.
[Cole] Terri Runnels asked for this matchup.
D'Lo Brown is her servant, so to speak,
and Boss Man with a knife stick, and he's not through.
[Lawler] There's that hard time we were talking about. Poor D'Lo.
[Cole] And Terri Runnels prancing up the stage.
What is going on with PMS?
And here comes Sexual Chocolate now. Mark Henry down the ramp.
[Lawler] Watch yourself, Boss Man.
-Look out. -[Cole] Oh! The 400-pounder
saving his partner, D'Lo Brown.
Mark Henry has been pleading with D'Lo all week to get rid of PMS.
[Lawler] I'll tell you what we better do right now.
We better take it back down to Texas and check out that rattlesnake hunt,
see how it's going.
Hey, hello, lady.
[Lawler] They got beautiful women in Texas.
Gee, you look prettier than a spotted puppy.
You know, us cowboys get very lonely on the trail, you know?
Well, you are kind of cute for an older gentleman.
[Lawler] What about Patterson's accent?
-Oh! -[indistinct chatter]
You got him pretty good. Come on, let's go.
[Lawler] Mr. McMahon's found Austin! He said he's found Austin!
Yes!
[Cole] King, this, believe it or not, is an audition for TV executives
to see how a male dance review will do on TV.
-It stars the Blue Meanie. -[Lawler] What?
[Cole] That's right, the Blue Meanie.
[Lawler] What idiot producer is wasting our time with this "Raw Boy" stuff?
Look at all that stuff jiggling. Whoa, look at that!
[Cole] It's Goldust from behind attacking the Blue Meanie.
[Lawler cackles] Yeah.
[Cole] Oh, and it was last week on Raw, Meanie showed up dressed as Blue Dust
and stole Al Snow's head back for Al Snow from Goldust.
[Lawler] Yeah, so much for Raw Boy's audition, I guess, huh?
Uh-oh, look at this.
[Cole] Well, Raw Boy's going to get a shattered dream for his effort,
and it's fixing to get real raw here.
[Lawler] Blue Dust or Blue Meanie or Raw Boy or whoever you used to be.
[Cole] Oh, shattered dreams.
And Blue Meanie's dreams of being the Raw Boy
may have been shattered here tonight by Goldust.
Goldust extremely upset
that Blue Dust stole Al Snow's head
back from Goldust last week.
[Lawler] Boy, I tell you, you never know what to expect from Goldust.
Ooh, look at that.
["Gold-Lust" plays]
I'm serious, man, this stuff's got to stop.
These girls will get you killed.
It ain't your fault that she lost her baby.
The ring is no place for a pregnant woman in the first place.
Losing a baby? Pregnant woman in the ring?
You know what I'm talking about, Doc. Terri Runnels.
Terri Runnels? Losing a baby in the ring?
Being pregnant? What are you talking about?
She hasn't even been pregnant.
Never.
What are you talking about, Doc?
What about Terri Runnels? What are you talking about, Doc?
How do you know she wasn't pregnant? Tell me, Doc.
I examined her. I know she was not pregnant.
Doc, Doc, don't be there-- Don't you dare kayfabe me.
You better start shooting with me here.
Was Terry or was Terry ever pregnant at all?
-She has never been pregnant. -You do know it.
I examined her. She was not pregnant.
-[Lawler] What a conniving witch she is! -D'Lo, your neck.
["Pierced" plays]
[Cole] Droz heading to the ring, set for action.
King, what about this Sunday night?
-That '70s Show on Fox at 8.30 Eastern. -[Lawler] Yeah.
Shamrock and The Rock.
[announcer] …Droz!
[Cole] Can't wait to see Shamrock and The Rock this Sunday.
Hey.
Get your bunch of freaks out of here. I beat the hairy one up last week.
You're next.
Get him out of here.
[Cole] So Droz asking the referee to get rid of the rest of the Oddities.
[Lawler] I don't think he's asking. He's telling.
Check out Droz's-- Is that a hat or what?
His hat matches his tights.
[Cole] You know, King, we were talking about that '70s Show.
This coming Sunday, 8:30 on Fox, 8:30 Eastern.
But I'll tell you where it's at.
90 minutes before that, 7 o'clock, 6:00 Central, right here on USA.
The hottest new show in television, Sunday Night Heat.
[Lawler] Don't ever forget that.
[Cole] That's where the WWE champion, the new one,
Mankind, was crowned last night on Halftime Heat.
Mankind will be here a bit later on on Raw.
And Kurrgan, the 7-foot-350-pounder, backs Droz into the corner.
Hey, King, guess what? A new leader in Pay-Per-View.
And it's not Mike Tyson. We do wish Mike the best.
But it is the WWE, the Royal Rumble set new Pay-Per-View records.
[Lawler] Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Let's get it straight.
The new leader in Pay-Per-View is Mr. Vince McMahon. [laughs]
[Cole] The new leader in Pay-Per-View is "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[Lawler] All right.
The new leader in Pay-Per-View is the WWE.
[Cole] New records for the Royal Rumble, but the world's talking about
St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Less than two weeks on Pay-Per-View.
-[Lawler] Whoa. -[Cole] Mr. McMahon and "Stone Cold"
in a steel cage.
Mr. McMahon is down in Texas tonight trying to provoke Austin
into breaking his contract.
I don't think Mr. McMahon wants to meet "Stone Cold" in that cage in two weeks
[Lawler] Yeah, well, I don't know why not. I guarantee you,
St. Valentine's Day massacre, "Stone Cold"'s career will be massacred.
[Cole] And Kurrgan now in control of Droz.
Hey, what about Mankind floating around the arena tonight,
spending all of Rock's $100,000 that's from Shane's trust fund?
-[Lawler] Oh, look out! -[Cole] Whoa!
[Lawler] I'm telling you, Mankind is on that championship spending spree.
He's a moron. He's an idiot. He's an embarrassment to the WWE.
-And plus, he's a thief. -[Cole] And of course, that steel cage.
Oh, Droz.
Looked like a broom handle or something like that from under the ring.
Just caught Kurrgan in the neck. And now Droz.
Top rope. Will he be able to take advantage?
Superior athlete, 280 pounder, with a football tackle
from the top rope, hooks the leg, and this one's over.
-[bell rings] -Droz wins.
Give the assist to that true winner.
-[announcer] Here's your winner, Droz! -Stay down.
[Lawler] Man, look at this guy.
[Cole] Droz beats the 7-foot 350 pounder, but he's not through yet.
[indistinct shouting]
[Lawler] He's got it in for these Oddities for some reason.
-Now he's really putting it to Kurrgan. -[Cole] Hammering away on Kurrgan now.
-Droz wants his opponent to stay down. -[Lawler] I guess.
[Cole] This is a relentless attack, much like we saw last week
against George "The Animal" Steele.
This guy's nuts. And here come the Oddities.
-[Lawler] Watch it, Droz. -[Cole] Golga.
And of course, the Giant Silva and Droz
out of the ring, heading for higher ground.
Well, King, that steel cage still hanging ominously over the ring.
It's going to be Triple H and Kane in that steel cage tonight.
[Lawler] Not to mention the fact that The Undertaker is here tonight.
We don't know what to expect out of him.
Don't you guys stuff yourself too much. Because we got to be ready to move.
That's great.
I'm told this is where "Stone Cold" Steve Austin comes
for his evening snack.
Can you imagine the look on his face when he walks in here and he sees us?
How is this food anyway?
-I love it. -What is it?
-Barbecue something? -Brisket.
-Brisket. The ribs are great. -Brisket. They're great.
-Mm-hmm. -Try some.
-Let me try some. -Mmm.
That barbecue sauce.
Hey, waitress, waitress, come over here.
-Waitress. -Come here.
-Yes. -What the hell is this?
You know who this is? This is Mr. McMahon from Greenwich, Connecticut.
You serve food like this to everybody? This man here come all the way down here.
You're not going to serve this garbage. I've tasted better dog food than this.
-You have, had you? -Oh, for crying out loud.
-What the hell kind of people are you? -What kind of food is this?
[Lawler] What next is going to happen to Mr. McMahon? Uh-oh.
["Purity of Evil Ministry" playing]
[Cole] The Undertaker set for action,
led to the ring by Mideon, Viscera, and Paul Bearer.
On a night where we've seen Mr. McMahon down in Texas
looking for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
And we've seen Mankind on a spending spree with The Rock's money.
That cage still hangs ominously over the ring.
[Lawler] Now that I've seen The Undertaker, I wish I was in Texas.
[Cole] Kane, The Undertaker's younger brother,
and Triple H will meet in that steel cage
a bit later on tonight.
But The Undertaker sending Mideon and Viscera to the ring.
[announcer] The following six-man tag team match is scheduled for one fall
with a 20-minute time limit.
Introducing first, accompanied with Paul Bearer
at a combined weight of 1,127 pounds.
Mideon,
Viscera, and The Undertaker.
[Cole] There you saw Viscera, the latest addition
to the Ministry of Darkness at the Royal Rumble
and The Undertaker waiting, watching.
["Blood" playing]
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh. Uh-oh.
[Cole] It's going to get interesting now. Talk about a unique matchup.
[Lawler] Wow.
[Cole] What a reaction for the trio known as the Brood,
Gangrel, Edge, and Christian.
Unique.
We know very little about them, except they live a gothic lifestyle,
and The Undertaker carefully watching The Brood head to the ring.
[Lawler] Well, I know this about 'em. If there's one force, one force
that can compete with the Ministry of Darkness,
it's got to be The Brood.
Gangrel the leader in the middle, flanked on his left by Christian
on his right by Edge and it's perhaps
the most unique psychological ploy
in the WWE today. The Brood psyching up for this matchup.
That red liquid spewed out at the crowd.
[Lawler] This is going to be like fighting fire with fire, so to speak.
[Cole] King, tonight, Raw is presented by America Online.
The easiest Internet online service just got easier.
America Online. So easy to use, no wonder it's number one.
[Lawler] And by 1-800-CALL-ATT for collect calls.
[Cole] And by WWE: The Music Volume 3.
Hear the original entrance theme songs of your favorite WWE superstars,
on sale now at all national record mart locations and other fine retailers.
And, King, this is the most popular CD we've ever produced.
It's flying off the shelves in record stores everywhere.
Number 24 on the Billboard Top 200 this week.
[Lawler] With a bullet! With a bullet!
[Cole] And here's Gangrel now, and Mideon, Mideon with authority,
slamming Gangrel into the corner.
This is a six-man tag team matchup. The Ministry against the Brood.
However, it's just Mideon and Viscera in the ring.
And Mideon now fighting Gangrel.
The Undertaker up on the stage, watching, looking.
Obviously, The Undertaker 100% confident that his minions
are going to be able to take care of The Brood.
But keep in mind, King, The Undertaker is part of this matchup
and can get involved at any moment.
[Lawler] Well, I mean, it looks like it's a handicap matchup.
[Cole] Viscera. 500-plus pounds into Gangrel.
[Lawler] I can't tell whether The Undertaker is pleased or what.
[Cole] The Undertaker is a strange man, and now The Brood, Edge,
and Christian hammering away on Viscera, two on one.
[Lawler] I'm trying to see if there's any expression on the face of The Undertaker.
-I can't tell if he's dead or alive. -[Cole] Edge now off the rope.
Viscera misses with the right hand, but what an elbow by the 500-plus pounder.
[Lawler] Paul Bearer's face back there looks like a well-kept grave.
[Cole] And Mideon with a kick to the midsection.
Elbow to the back.
I'll tell you, King, keep looking up at that cage.
Kane, Triple H. Oh! Cage match later tonight.
Nice spinning heel kick by Edge.
And now, double team by The Brood.
Look at this, big back body drop, and Mideon's in trouble.
And Christian, from the top rope, elbow to the sternum,
but look at the strength of Viscera.
Double drop kick, and The Brood holding the rope, and here are The Acolytes.
-Bradshaw and Faarooq… -[bell rings repeatedly]
…also part of The Ministry,
hammering away on The Brood, and here comes the Phenom.
[Lawler] Oh, no.
I told you I had a bad feeling about this, Michael.
[Cole] The referees call for the bell. Obviously a disqualification.
But the story here, The Ministry dismantling the Brood.
[Lawler] Maybe we should make ourselves scarce
when The Undertaker gets down here.
[Cole] The Undertaker slowly to the ring. Here are officials, referees.
-Wait a minute. -[Lawler] Think we should leave?
[Cole] Kane, what the hell is The Brood doing?
The referees came out to help him, and The Brood
-just threw him out of the ring. -[Lawler] What?
-Look at this! -[Cole] Oh!
I don't understand this.
The officials came out to help out The Brood,
and The Brood tossed 'em out of the ring. Oh!
And The Ministry, systematically…
tearing The Brood apart. I mean, it's an annihilation.
[Lawler] The Brood outnumbered, but they refuse to help. Oh!
[Cole] Have you ever seen the look in the Undertaker's eyes--
[Lawler] Look at this!
[Cole] And now a bull rope.
The Acolytes with a bull rope around Gangrel.
[Lawler] It's a noose! What are they doing?
Wait a minute. Are they going to string this guy up or something?
[Cole] The Undertaker just looking on.
[Lawler] I mean, it's a white noose. Is that symbolic of something or what?
[Cole] What's The Undertaker doing now?
-What in the world? -[Lawler] I don't know, this is strange.
Very strange. Look!
[Cole] Undertaker laying hands now.
And tossing Gangrel off the apron.
And look at Mideon. He's laughing.
-He's enjoying this. -[Mideon] Come on, come on!
[Lawler] Look at his eyes. They're about to pop out of his hands.
[Mideon] Come on.
Come on.
[Cole] Gangrel hanging from that top rope
as The Undertaker silently looks on.
["Purity of Evil Ministry" playing]
What darkness.
[Lawler] I don't know, this is scary.
[Cole] I still can't understand. The Brood had help.
The Brood had agents and officials in the ring.
And The Brood tossed him out. What the hell is going on?
[Lawler] I don't know, but now they've let Gangrel go.
[Cole] The Brood, total Annihilation
at the hands of The Undertaker and his Ministry.
[Lawler] I'm telling you. You're right. This has been an annihilation.
But you want to talk annihilation? You want to talk massacres?
Let's talk about that cage match at St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
The Pay-Per-View, I promise you, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
will be annihilated. He'll be massacred.
I mean, he'll be in worse shape than Gangrel is in right now,
-if that's possible. -[Cole] Is this some sort of ritual?
This is highly unusual. The Undertaker.
What in the world is The Ministry doing with The Brood?
[Mankind] Debra.
I bought you something for your boobs.
What? Is there something wrong?
No, as a matter of fact, I get a tingly feeling all over when I see them.
But I'm afraid you're gonna catch a chest cold,
and in your case, that could be fatal. Here's a sweater.
-[Lawler] What? -I've gotta go. Have a nice day.
[Lawler] He bought her a sweater? What?
[commentator] This is WWE history in the making,
an empty arena match for the first time ever.
Rock and Mankind going at it for the WWE title,
pinfalls will count anywhere in the arena.
We have cameras in the locker rooms, in the parking lots.
We have cameras everywhere.
[The Rock] Finally, Halftime Super Bowl.
[commentator] The Rock and Mankind taking it to each other,
the most unusual, most unique WWE championship match in history.
We're scrambling for cameras. We have them everywhere.
They're coming down the hallway.
Here we are, they're spilling out here in front of the crew.
That's where they are now. They're out on a loading dock.
The Mandible Claw, that paralyzing maneuver, and--
Oh, down he goes!
That paralyzing maneuver of Mankind is taking its effect on The Rock.
What's he going to do now?
He's going to run over him. No, that's going to crush The Rock.
No, don't pin him. No, no!
Mankind becomes the WWE Champion with the aid of a forklift.
["Wreck" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] For the second time, Mankind is the WWE Champion.
-And what an ovation. -[crowd continues cheering]
And here he comes, and Mr. McMahon has got to be hating this.
[Lawler] You're right, he's hating it, because there,
you see the most deranged,
-most repulsive champion in WWE history. -[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
the new World Wrestling Entertainment Champion.
-Mankind! -[Lawler] Second only to Steve Austin.
[Cole] What a reception for the new WWE champion.
As you just saw, a brutal match, empty arena match, last night at halftime.
WWE history in the making.
Mankind again can call himself champion.
[Lawler] I'll tell you something. The Rock is not going to take this lying down.
Because at the Royal Rumble, Rock made Mankind,
well, I started to say, but he made Mankind scream, "I quit."
The Rock's the true champion, but Mankind stole The Rock's money.
[Cole] It was a recording.
-He never said, "I quit." It was on tape. -[Lawler] He screamed it.
[crowd chanting] Foley! Foley! Foley!
[Lawler] This is a recording. Nobody would really be screaming "Foley."
Thank you very much. [pants]
Tell you the truth,
after Halftime Heat, I don't feel all that good.
-I probably don't look all that good. -[Lawler] That's an understatement.
But last time I checked the mirror, I sure as hell did look like
the new WWE champion.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Repulsive.
[The Rock] Do you smell what The Rock is cooking?
-[Lawler] Oh, boy. Now, here we go. -["Know Your Role" playing]
[Cole] Now, what's he doing out here?
[Lawler] What do you mean?
[Cole] He was beaten one, two, three, last night on Halftime Heat.
He had a chance to have a spotlight.
[Lawler] Beat by a forklift with a thousand pounds of beer cans.
How humiliating that had to be for The Rock.
♪ The Rock says ♪
[Cole] The Rock should let Mankind have his spotlight.
-Let him enjoy it. -[Lawler] He ought to hit him with it.
Come on down there, Rock.
[Lawler] Listen up, Michael, the great one is about to speak.
[crowd chanting] Rock, you suck! Rock, you suck!
-Oh, no, this is awful. -[Cole] If the fans let him.
[crowd chanting] Rock, you suck! Rock, you suck!
Now I'll tell you what, Mankind, you come out here
and you run your mouth,
you talk like a big shot, like you're The Rock,
but obviously, you're not. Now…
After the I Quit Match in which The Rock
beat your roody-poo, candy ass
all across the arena.
[Lawler] He did, you know.
When it was all said and done and the thousands and thousands
of The Rock's fans were done chanting his name,
you screamed, "I quit," not once…
[crowd chanting] Rock, you suck! Rock, you suck!
[Lawler] Please.
You screamed, "I quit," not once, not twice,
but three times.
-[Cole] He never screamed it. -So now…
after the Super Bowl Halftime matchup.
You beat The Rock, but if it weren't for a forklift,
you would have never, and The Rock means never, ever, beaten The Rock.
[Lawler] That's the truth. Never, ever.
[Cole] Please.
Now, although The Rock stands up here custom made from head to toe,
he dresses like a million dollars.
He makes millions of dollars.
Not only is The Rock extremely articulate, but he's pretty damn good looking
on top of all that.
[Cole] Not only did The Rock lose his voice, King,
but he lost his championship.
After the past two weeks,
you realize now, Mankind, that The Rock is all those things,
including the most electrifying man in sports entertainment today.
[Lawler] Without a doubt.
Now…
You look at The Rock when The Rock is speaking to you.
On top of all that, The Rock agreed to your matches.
Now you have something that belongs to The Rock, and it happens to be $97,000.
So Mankind, bring The Rock his $97,000
before The Rock whips your monkey ass.
-[Lawler] Yeah. -[Cole] I think it's less than that now.
-He's been spending it all day. -Oh, hey, hey.
Hold on a second now, Rock. You see, I feel a little bad about that.
First off, there's no longer $97,000. It's down to about 72.
-[Cole laughs] -[Lawler] What? Call the cops!
Secondly, I consider myself an honorable man,
and I did say if you gave me the empty arena match,
I'd return the cash, but…
I changed my mind.
[Lawler] What?
-[Cole] He reserves the right to do that. -[Lawler] He cannot do that.
Just to show you, though, that I am a truthful guy,
I'm going to agree with just about everything you said.
You do dress like a million bucks.
You do make millions of bucks.
Why, you even look pretty damn good, too.
But it is my humble opinion that you are
without a doubt the biggest horse's ass.
[Lawler] What?
-[inaudible] -What?
In sports entertainment today.
-He can't say that to The Rock. -[Cole] He just did.
Now, Rock, I will admit you have given Mankind
some of the damnedest matches I've ever had.
So you wanna rematch, Rock?
All you've got to do is ask.
[crowd chanting] Foley! Foley! Foley!
[The Rock] Now, you make your little challenges and The Rock accepts it.
The Rock has a little challenge of his own.
In about two short weeks, Sunday, February 14th, Valentine's Day,
The Rock proposes a match
called Last Man Standing, which means there are no pinfalls,
there are no submissions, and it also means that
if you thought The Rock was rough on your candy ass in the I Quit Match,
let alone yesterday's Heat match,
Then come St. Valentine's Day Massacre,
The Rock will proceed to bash
your livin' brains in like you ain't never felt before.
[crowd cheering]
Now, if you've got enough testicular fortitude,
then you'll go ahead and accept The Rock's challenge.
You want a last man standing match
with Mankind?
You have got a deal.
[Lawler] Oh! Uh-oh.
It's gonna be a massacre.
The Rock figured your [muted] would say that, but I'll tell you what,
Mankind, in two weeks, when it's all said and done,
and the millions…
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
…and millions of The Rock's fans are through chanting his name.
And The Rock stands over you, the WWE champ.
You're gonna realize why The Rock is the great one.
Why The Rock is the most electrifying man in sports entertainment.
And why The Rock is, without a shadow of a doubt,
the best damn WWE champ there ever was.
[crowd cheering]
If you smell…
what The Rock…
is cooking.
-["Know Your Role" playing] -[Cole] Folks, in two weeks,
at St. Valentine's Day Massacre on Pay-Per-View,

All right, look, we put up with a lot of crap.
But finally, we've got him. And we got him trapped.
There's no way out for that SOB.
We have it on good authority he's right behind that door.
Now listen, this is the plan. Don't screw it up.
All I wanna do is provoke him.
I'm gonna jump on him verbally as hard as I possibly can.
I know he's coming for me. He can't resist.
All right, and when I do that, all right, and I know he's gonna hit me,
listen, I'll probably go down.
Then from there, that's when you two come in.
I want you to jump him. I'll go get the car, all right?
-Jump him? -Jump him?
I want you to jump him.
-Whoa. -You jump Austin, all right?
-You want to jump Austin? -You jump Austin.
Look, he would have broken his contract. That's why we came here.
-The job will be done. -Where are you going to be, Mr. McMahon?
-I'll get the car. -Yes, sir, Mr. McMahon.
-Through that door? -Right through the door.
Now, just get it together. There's guns in there.
Get it together.
-Are you with me now? -Yeah.
You're sure? You're not going to let me down?
Damn it, Patterson. Brisco, let's get this over with.
Get him to break his contract, and it'll be worth it.
Now step aside.
-Go. -All right.
-I know he's back there. -[country music playing]
[sighs]
[country music continues playing]
Hey, Austin, I've been looking for you, you chicken [bleep].
What's this? Who you calling chicken [bleep]?
No, I'm sorry, sir.
You looking for Austin or you looking for a bullet?
No, no, I'm looking for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
If you're looking for Austin, he's down at the bar at Archie Blues.
-I'm sorry, Archie Blues. -Archie Blues.
Archie Blues.
Get it straight.
[Lawler] Whoa.
["Oh You Didn't Know" playing]
[Road Dogg] Oh, you didn't know?
[Lawler] Michael, we almost had a real, real bad situation there.
You have to call somebody!
[Cole] Seems Mr. McMahon's not getting along too well down there in Texas.
And Road Dogg is set for tag team in action.
-You're damn right! -[Cole] Teaming up with Al Snow this week.
[Lawler] But one thing,
Mr. McMahon knows exactly where "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is right now.
-Archie Blues or Archie something. -[Cole] Archie Blues.
I'm the hardcore champion.
I said hard.
[Cole] Road Dogg, the hardcore champion
in a hardcore tag team match this week on Raw.
And Mr. McMahon down in Texas trying to provoke "Stone Cold".
[Lawler] Let me give a word of warning right now.
"Stone Cold", if you're around the television set,
if they got a TV there in Archie Blues, I want you to know Mr. McMahon
-is coming for you right now. -Now bear with me.
This may change just a little bit.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, D-Generation X
proudly brings to you, it's WWE Hardcore Champion of the World.
The Road Dogg, Jesse James.
And if you, no, no.
And if you ain't down with me and this belt, I got two words for you.
[crowd chanting] Suck it!
[Cole] So the Road Dogg, the hardcore champion.
Teaming up with his man, Al Snow. They've formed a bond in recent weeks.
Ever since the Hardcore Battle they had a few weeks back, Road Dogg and Al Snow.
[Lawler] You call this a bond, what these two have formed?
[Cole] Well, last week on Raw, Road Dogg and Al Snow
had just agreed to a two out of three matches series
for the Hardcore Championship, but they were attacked by
the Ministry of Darkness.
The Acolytes, Mideon and Viscera, doing a number on the Road Dogg
and Al Snow, which has led to this hardcore tag team matchup tonight.
Al Snow and the Road Dogg versus the Acolytes, who we saw earlier in that…
[Lawler] I still don't know how to describe that occurrence we had here.
[announcer] Their opponents in this hardcore tag team match,
-at a combined weight… -[Lawler] It was a ritual or something.
[announcer] Faarooq and Bradshaw, The Acolytes.
[Cole] This match-- here we go now.
Al Snow and Bradshaw, Faarooq goes after Road Dogg.
This match will not, King, be for the weak of heart.
Oh!
[Lawler] It's a hardcore match.
I mean that means absolutely anything goes, Michael,
no rules so to speak.
Look out, watch it.
[Cole] Wait a minute, King.
I told you…
You said they were going to come over this way.
[Lawler] I didn't know it would be this soon.
[Lawler exclaims]
-Oh, my gosh. Look out. -[Cole] Wait a minute. Oh.
Oh, great. He's got the whole bell table.
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh.
[Cole] Road Dogg into the table.
[Lawler] Watch it, watch it.
[Cole] King, watch it. King, oh.
Faarooq with a chair to Road Dogg.
[Lawler] Watch my crown here, Michael.
[Cole] Hardcore tag team matchup. Oh, man.
No holds barred. Falls count anywhere. No disqualification.
Oh, Road Dogg blocked the chair.
[Lawler] Watch this. Look.
Man. That thing weighs about 300 pounds.
-[Cole] Road Dogg with a pencil. -[Lawler] Look out!
[Cole] Bradshaw with steel stairs.
And Al Snow moved out of the way.
Anything goes.
Hardcore tag team matchup.
Acolytes against Al Snow on the Road Dogg.
And in less than two weeks on Pay-Per-View,
Road Dogg and Al Snow will go at it at the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
[Lawler] I'm telling you, you got to get Road Dogg and Al Snow going.
-[Cole] Bell into the head. And a chair. -[Lawler] Look out! Man.
[Cole] And another one.
-Bradshaw knocked down. And Faarooq. -[Lawler exclaims]
[Lawler] Like I said, you got to give Al Snow and the Road Dogg credit.
Who in their right mind would go into a hardcore match against The Acolytes?
These two guys, that's who.
[Cole] And here's the Western Union double feature.
-[Lawler] What do we got going here now? -[Cole] One strike by Bradshaw.
And Road Dogg and Al Snow had set up the table, but Faarooq's recovered
-and now hammering away on Al Snow. -[Lawler] Look out!
[Cole] Al Snow tossed out of the ring,
-and Bradshaw-- Oh, my! -[Lawler] Look at that chair!
[Cole] And Faarooq and Al Snow out in the crowd.
[Lawler] That chair has been molded to the shape of The Acolyte's head.
[Cole] Faarooq and Al Snow battling it away in the barricade.
They're partners tonight, but as we said in two weeks
on Pay-Per-View, Road Dogg and Al Snow
are the second in their best-of-three series of matches
for the Hardcore Championship.
Road Dogg is already up one match to none, the second one at
the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
[Lawler] We may have a massacre here tonight. Look at this!
[Cole] Al Snow in the crowd.
Road Dogg being dragged by his hair by Bradshaw.
And here's Al Stone now to the rescue. And all four men now in the crowd.
[Lawler] Ah! That's some cotton candy!
[Cole] No disqualification, no rules in this one. It's all perfectly legal.
Road Dogg and Al Snow teamed up last week on Raw
and defeated The Brood in the same type of matchup.
-[Lawler] Watch it, watch it. -[Cole] Oh, man.
Here's a cover now and a kick out after one by Bradshaw.
-[all clamoring] -[Lawler] Ha!
Here's the concession stand.
-[Cole] Faarooq. -[Lawler] Oh!
[Cole] And Al Snow with some beer to the face of Faarooq.
[Lawler] This Bud's for you.
[Cole] And now-- oh!
Road Dogg and Bradshaw.
Al Snow and Faarooq, this thing's out of control.
[Lawler] I guess.
They're on the concourse now.
-Al Snow's shot to the face of Faarooq. -[Lawler] They're in the hall!
[Cole] Bradshaw slamming Road Dogg into the table.
-[man] Yeah! -[Lawler] Look out!
-[Cole] Oh! -[Lawler laughs] Look at Al Snow smiling.
-He loves it. -[Cole] Al Snow loves hardcore rules.
And there's the hardcore champion, Road Dogg, having it handed to him.
Outside, Faarooq and Al Snow.
[Lawler] I'll tell you what, Al Snow
and the Road Dogg deserve each other.
[Cole] They'll get each other in less than two weeks,
-but tonight they're on the same team. -[Lawler] Watch it, guys.
I hope there's no forklifts out there.
[Cole] Back to the arena, Road Dogg, Bradshaw,
outside, and Al Snow and Faarooq.
[Lawler] I'm telling you something, these WWE superstars give it their all.
Everything they've got at home and everything they can find.
-[Cole] Garbage can, Al Snow now. -[Lawler] Oh!
-[Cole] To Faarooq. -[man whoops]
[Lawler] I'm telling you, I didn't think-- I thought the Acolytes would have
no trouble handling Road Dogg and Al Snow.
Boy, was I wrong. Look at this.
[Cole] Al Snow hammering away on Faarooq.
-And back now, here at ringside. -[Lawler] Wait a minute, some goof…
No, look at the--
-Oh, wow. -[Cole] What in the world?
And Al Snow now with a broom.
[Lawler] Man, some fan's got a headache.
[Cole] Oh, man!
You see that can bend around the head of Faarooq?
[Lawler] Forget about it. Look at this!
[Cole] Back in the ring, it's Bradshaw. And Al Snow with a table.
[Lawler] Let me ask you something.
Michael, would you call this an action-adventure?
[Cole] It's an action-adventure. It's an epic at its best.
Hardcore rules. Road Dogg trying to battle back.
[Lawler] This isn't even the cage match. That's coming later on.
-Look at this. Oh, my gosh. -[Cole] Triple H and Kane in a cage.
It's Viscera!
-[Lawler] Look at this. Speaking of ugly. -[Cole] Viscera from The Ministry.
And the 500-pounder caught Al Snow in midair.
[Lawler] Oh, no. Oh, man.
[Cole] Viscera, 500 pounds of pure strength dismantled Al Snow.
And Snow's laughing about it.
[Lawler] He's whacked.
I'm telling you what, that reminded me of what Mr. McMahon is going to do
-when he gets his hands on Austin tonight. -[Cole] Wait, Faarooq's back in the ring.
And the Acolytes down with two on one against the Road Dogg.
[Lawler] Mr. McMahon will slam Austin right through one of those bar stools
or one of those tables in that bar he's going to be boozing it up in.
Look at this. Whoa!
Road Dogg's back of his head through the table.
-Here's the cover. -[referee] One, two, three.
-[Lawler] Man! -[Cole] The Acolytes defeat Road Dogg.
[announcer] Here are your winners, the Acolytes.
Road Dogg pinned in the middle of a table his partner, Al Snow…
[Lawler] He's outside.
I think he's got crushed ribs.
Now the whole Ministry, including those Druids.
[Lawler] What are the Druids doing?
["Purity of Evil Ministry" playing]
[Cole] Oh, no, this can't be good. Wait a minute.
You know what that means.
[Lawler] I'll tell you one thing, Road Dogg,
if I were you, I'd get out of here.
Ah!
-[Cole] Oh, this can't be good. -[Lawler] You're not kidding.
[Cole] There he is, The Phenom.
The Undertaker, who earlier tonight led to dismantling of The Brood
-by the Ministry of Darkness. -[Lawler] Look at this.
What is going on, Michael?
-[Cole] I don't understand. -[Lawler] Look at the Undertaker.
Look at his eyes. I mean, they're gone.
[Cole] What is this?
[Lawler] I don't know. Hey! What?
Hey! The Druids! The Druids are The Brood!
[Lawler] But…
I mean, the Ministry of Darkness destroyed these guys earlier tonight.
-What is happening? -[Cole] Well, perhaps it was a ritual.
Maybe a way to prove themselves, prove themselves to The Undertaker.
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh.
It was the Brood, the Druids were the Brood all along.
Has this been a part of some long, drawn-out initiation?
[Lawler] I know one thing,
There's going to be a real massacre of St. Valentine's Day now. I know it.
-[narrator] It's a day for giving. -[Vince McMahon] I'm going to get me some.
[narrator] A day for sharing.
[Stone Cold] Austin 3:16 says, "I just whipped your [bleep]."
[narrator] A time to tell that special someone how you really feel.
-[Vince McMahon] I hate Austin! -[Stone Cold] Mr. McMahon,
I know you hate my guts,
and I feel the same way about you.
[narrator] Austin, McMahon, a steel cage. WWE St. Valentine's Day Massacre,
live on Pay-Per-View.
[Cole] We're back in the war zone. This happened moments ago.
A hardcore tag team match between the Road Dogg and Al Snow
against the Acolytes
when Viscera came from out of nowhere to help out his brother in The Acolytes.
He took out Al Snow outside and then the double team
by The Acolytes inside the arena.
Bradshaw and Faarooq picking up the pin in the victory over Road Dogg.
[Lawler] I'll tell you, this match was everywhere.
And then as Road Dogg was laying helpless, the Druids appeared along with Viscera.
And then, oh my gosh, The Undertaker on the scene.
It was eerie. And look at this.
The Druids were revealed to be The Brood.
[Cole] Look at this family portrait, King, during the break.
[Lawler] It looks like the Addams Family, or worse!
-My gosh! -[Cole] The Ministry of Darkness.
Could this be what The Undertaker means by Hell on Earth?
And then the Road Dogg leaving in a mean, mean way.
[Lawler] I don't know how he was walking, he was walking with a purple…
Uh-oh, wait a minute.
We're back live now.
[Cole] This is outside the arena.
-Where in the hell were you? -Where the hell were you?
What do you mean where the hell was I?
I was getting my ass whipped by about 10 guys while you were out here
kissing your stinking mannequin head or something.
Let me tell you something. I was out here.
I was handling things fine by myself!
And then some 500-pound gorilla slammed me through the board over there!
I know what this is.
-What? -I did you that favor. I give you,
I give you a shot at the hardcore belt. And then what do you do?
-You hang me out to dry. -Well, you know what?
-I'm above you. I'm above you. -You kiss my ass.
[indistinct argument]
-You go ahead. -[Cole] Oh!
-Road Dogg with a chair. Oh! -[Lawler] Look at this!
[Cole] Road Dogg thought Snow left him high and dry in that hardcore match.
You screwed that one all up, you freakin' psycho!
[Lawler] So much for that bond you mentioned between these two.
[Cole] King, those two are going to meet in less than two weeks.
That's St. Valentine's Day. And there's the steel cage.
Coming up next, Kane versus Triple H.
This could just be like the one which will contain Mr. McMahon and "Stone Cold"
in less than two weeks. Wait a minute. Mr. McMahon thinks he's found "Stone Cold"
[Lawler] What?
-Hey, Austin. -Hey.
[Lawler] Look, McMahon found Austin.
Hey, chicken [bleep], you. Yeah, you.
Stand up when I'm talking to you. Come on.
[country music playing]
Don't you turn your back on me, I'll throw your ass over the top rope,
I beat you in the Royal Rumble and it's eating you up inside.
You know damn well it is, come on, stand up.
Yeah, come on, come on, Austin.
Hit me.
Come on. I came all the way from this godforsaken place
to be-- come on, Austin, what's the matter, huh?
Come on, you chicken [bleep]. Come on, stand up, hit me.
What's the matter with you, huh?
Come on, damn it.
-Come on, Austin, hit him. -I'm talking to you.
Go ahead.
I done told you once, you dumb son of a bitch.
And if you got a hearing problem, read my lips.
I'm not going to hit your ass here in Victoria, Texas.
I'm going to wait until it's nice and legal
when I get your ass in that steel cage.
Do you understand me?
You chicken [bleep]. Hit me, you son of a bitch.
Go. Come on. Come on. Let's go. Come on.
Hit me.
-Damn it, hit me. -[man] Hit him.
I done told you Vince, look at me, I'm not shaking like you.
I done told you, when I get your ass in the cage, your ass is mine.
And you will know that Austin 3:16 says, "I just whipped your ass."
And like I said, I'll say it one more time, I will not hit you tonight.
But I can't speak for, as you put it, these kind of people.
So as I make my exit and head to the house, uh…
You guys show Mr. McMahon a real good time at my expense.
What the hell are you talking about?
-Whoa, guys. -[bar patrons chattering angrily]
-[Lawler] Austin's chicken. -It's all right.
-It's all right, guys. -Wait a minute. Let's take it easy.
-I came for Austin. -[Cole] He's gonna wait for the cage.
-That's it, all right? -Easy.
Easy now.
I came here for Austin.
-Buy you a beer? -We like this town, man.
-It's a nice town. -[Lawler] This looks like deliverance.
-♪ Break it down ♪ -["Are You Ready?" playing]
Oh, no, Mr. McMahon's in bad trouble.
[Cole] All I know is Steve Austin is going to wait for the steel cage.
And less than two weeks on Pay-Per-View
at the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
Austin, McMahon in the cage.
The rattlesnake kept his cool.
He didn't hit McMahon. He wasn't provoked into being fired.
Now we're gonna have a Steel Cage Match on our hands.
[Lawler] How did Austin keep his cool? How did he do that? I can't believe it.
[Cole] Speaking of Steel Cage Matches,
Triple H and Kane right here, right now
in a match set up on Heat by Shane last night
who's in charge in his father's absence.
[Lawler] Listen, I just got word
that if all hell breaks loose down in that Texas bar,
And Mr. McMahon feels like taking out his frustrations on the rest of those
moronic Texans down there, we'll go back there.
Our cameras are standing by.
Mr. McMahon would clean house with those bums.
[Cole] Don't worry, he's got Brisco and Patterson sticking up for him.
-[Lawler] What does that mean? -[Cole] Great bodyguards.
So, Triple H now set for this Steel Cage Match.
You go it. You know, I got to give Shane a little bit of credit,
ruling the roost tonight as the cage is lowered.
The last time Shane was in charge, all hell broke loose.
[Lawler] I'm sure Mr. McMahon will be proud of Shane.
-[Triple H] Are you ready? -[crowd cheering]
I said, "Are you ready?"
[crowd cheering]
Then, for the thousands in attendance,
for the millions watching at home,
and for you, Chyna,
get a good look, you big bitch,
'cause I'm about to derail The Big Red Machine.
[Lawler] Whoa.
Let's get ready to suck it!
[Lawler] Didn't we already hear that a few minutes ago?
Same thing, wasn't it?
-Uh-oh. -[Cole] Here we go now.
The Big Red Machine is in the house.
["Burned" plays]
[Lawler exclaims]
[Cole] Perhaps the most destructive force in the WWE today.
Last week, King, X-Pac offered Kane a chance to join a real family, DX.
Kane responded with a choke slam and rejoined the Corporation.
And Kane must think being part of the McMahon family
is better than a life on the run
and that threat of going back to the insane asylum.
[Lawler] I'll tell you what was great last week.
Shane took Kane right down to his knees.
Not one knee, but both knees.
It was so great to see Kane get down on his knees and apologize.
[Cole] Oh! And here we go now.
Steel Cage Match, Triple H vs. Kane.
In order to win, you must go to the top of the cage
or through the door, both feet on the floor,
to pick up the victory.
[Triple H grunts]
And Triple H now with right hands to Kane.
I have to say it, King,
Triple H does indeed look a bit different without Chyna out there,
at ringside, in his corner.
[Lawler] I'll tell you one thing, he looks a little bit…
I was starting to say he looks a bit scared,
but he's got the upper hand.
There's no pinfall or no submission in this.
You can only win by going over that cage.
[Cole] Look out now. Triple H slammed into the steel cage.
And Kane with a clothesline.
[Lawler] You can go over the top, put both feet on the floor,
you're a winner, or out through the door.
[Cole] This is what it's gonna be like in less than two weeks
in Memphis, St. Valentine's Day Massacre on Pay-Per-View.
-[Lawler laughs] -Austin, McMahon in a cage. It's simple.
If McMahon can get out of the cage,
Mr. McMahon can get out of the cage,
"Stone Cold" forfeits his right to meet the champion at WrestleMania.
[Lawler] I'm gonna tell you something.
Memphis, Tennessee is my hometown.
That big pyramid that this match is gonna take place in,
is called the Tomb of Doom.
And it will be doom for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[Cole] And will it be doom for the WWE champion Mankind
when he meets The Rock in a Last Man Standing Match
in St. Valentine's Day Massacre on Pay-Per-View?
King, I'll tell you what. We were there at ringside at the Royal Rumble
for the I Quit Match.
How can this match that?
I mean, Last Man Standing. There's gonna be a winner.
The Rock, Mankind for the title.
[Lawler] Oh, yeah. It's gonna be fantastic.
And The Rock is gonna make that thief pay.
I'm telling you… [stammers]
That thief, Mankind, is gonna have to give back
what's left of The Rock's money.
-[Lawler] Oh! -[Cole] Triple H moves out of the way
and Kane with the elbow missed.
[Lawler] You know what? I mean, I'm still thinking
about Mr. McMahon down there in Texas.
The only reason… And I'm sure people are wondering.
The only reason… Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
-[Kane grunts] -[Lawler] Oh!
The reason that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin didn't lay a hand on Mr. McMahon
is because he knew what would happen if he did.
If "Stone Cold" had hit Mr. McMahon, Mr. McMahon would have picked him up,
-slammed him through that car… -[Cole] Oh, please.
[Lawler] …broke about 15 beer bottles on Austin's head.
-Whoa! -[Cole] Wow.
[Lawler] And embarrassed him, humiliated Austin
In front of all his drunken bum buddies.
[Cole] Kane now in control of Triple H.
King, I find it rather ironic that two men who loathe each other,
Mr. McMahon and Austin, will meet on St. Valentine's Day
in a Steel Cage.
[Lawler] Yeah, there'll be no hearts, no flowers.
-What's up with the eerie red light now? -[groans]
[Cole] Kane raking the forehead and the face of Triple H
across that steel mesh.
-This match can sever skin. -[groans and screams]
I mean, Mr. McMahon's been training for this big Steel Cage Match.
But King, I mean, honestly,
is he in the shape to go toe to toe with the rattlesnake?
There'll be no help this time.
-There's gonna be no Rock. -[Lawler] Please shut up.
Sometimes I try to imagine you with some brains. It's hard to do.
Don't you realize that Mr. McMahon has a plan?
And I'll be the first to admit, I… [stammers]
I started to doubt Mr. McMahon's plan, but…
Oh! He made a believer out of me,
and he'll make a believer out of you and everybody else
at St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
[Cole] Well, King, anything can happen in the WWE.
And I have to admit, I was surprised, shocked, that Mr. McMahon did indeed
win the Royal Rumble match.
But there's a lot more at stake in this event for "Stone Cold".
His shot at the WWE Championship at WrestleMania hangs in the balance.
[Lawler] Remember this. Remember when Mr. McMahon
lured "Stone Cold" Steve Austin into the ladies room, huh?
What was waiting for Austin in there? [laughs]
[Cole] He sacrificed himself, the trap was set by the Corporate team.
And Triple H now battles back.
No way, Triple H.
But Kane with a head-butt, and the seven foot monster…
[Lawler] Man!
[Cole] …again is in control.
Triple H goes for the door. If he gets out, he wins it.
And Kane from behind.
Again, you have to go over the top and get to the floor,
or go through the door to the floor in order to win this one.
[Lawler] I can't imagine how Kane would have to apologize to Shane
if he let Triple H somehow get out of this cage and win this match.
[Cole] Triple H might fall out of the cage but Kane again has the leg.
[Lawler] I don't think getting down on both knees and apologizing to Shane
will get the job done if Triple H wins.
[Cole] I can't understand how Mr. McMahon's gonna get out of the cage.
He's gonna be in there with a caged animal.
Austin's been waiting to get his hands on McMahon.
[Lawler] Are you watching this right now? Are you seeing the same thing I'm seeing?
[Cole] Kane is dismantling Triple H.
[Lawler] Right. Well, playing the part of Mr. Vincent McMahon is Kane tonight.
What you're seeing Kane do is what
Mr. McMahon is gonna do to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[Cole] Well, here he comes with a comeback now.
-[Lawler] Wait a minute. -[Cole] It's Triple H.
Kane into that steel… Steel cage.
[Lawler] That won't happen to Mr. McMahon.
Better not.
[Cole] Triple H trying to gain revenge.
It was Kane who was part of the rouse last week with Chyna.
-Turned her back on Triple H. -[Lawler] Look out, look out!
[Cole] And he's gonna get out, and Kane grabs the leg again.
[Lawler] Hold that door, Hebner.
[Cole] And I still can't believe Chyna, the Benedict Arnold she is,
turning her back on Triple H.
Chyna said it was all about money, all about a chance to be in the spotlight.
[Lawler] No, no, no, it's all about respect.
Mr. McMahon showed Chyna respect.
Look at this.
[Cole] Kane now, is he gonna climb the top rope
or is he gonna try to get out of the cage here?
Kane on the top rope, Triple H to his feet.
-[Lawler] Oh, look at this! -[Cole] Look at Kane's athletic agility.
[Lawler] Kane is teaching Triple H a lesson,
just like Mr. McMahon is gonna teach "Stone Cold" a lesson
at St. Valentine's day Massacre.
It's a massacre right here, you see that, don't you?
Are you watching this?
[Cole] And Kane again climbing to the top rope.
[Lawler] This is the way Vince is gonna do it.
Yeah, he'll climb right up on that top rope,
he'll put his foot into that cage.
[Lawler] And Triple H goers for the door.
-if he gets out, it's over. -[Lawler] Yeah.
[Cole] And Kane again grabs the leg, but Triple H has a chair.
[Lawler] This is what'll happen,
Mr. McMahon will decide to bring Austin back in
-and then it-- -[Cole] Triple H with the foot to the face
and now he has a chair, this could be the equalizer.
[Lawler] Watch it Mr. McMahon, I mean, Kane.
[Cole] Triple H just laid out Kane.
[Lawler] Oh, no.
[Cole] And can Triple H gain momentum here?
-[Lawler] Oh, look at that. -[Cole] Kane sits up.
Seven foot, 320 pounds
and Triple H now desperately trying to make it up the side of the cage again
and Kane from behind.
[Lawler] Right, because the pinfalls don't count,
submissions don't count, you gotta climb that steel cage.
You gotta get over the top and get down to the floor with both feet
or you gotta get out that cage door
and get to the floor to win this match.
-Here we go! -[Cole] Whipped into the corner now,
Kane telegraphed it, Triple H made him pay, knee to the face.
And now can Triple H from DX battle back?
[Lawler] Uh-oh.
[crowd] one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
[Cole] Crowd behind Triple H,
Kane reeling in the corner.
Reversal now, into the turnbuckle.
Boot to the face.
[Lawler] And just a note, as you can see here. Oh, man.
There'll be no referee inside that steel cage
to pull Mr. McMahon off of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
-[Cole] Or vice versa. -[Lawler] Don't even think about it.
[Cole] And now Kane climbs to the second rope.
Can he make it out of the cage this time?
[Lawler] Kudos to Shane McMahon for making this match,
this has been great. Nail him, kick him. Quick.
[Cole] Triple H again tries to get over there.
Boot to the face, and Kane's gonna try to get out of the cage
-and win this one. -[Lawler] We got a winner.
[Cole] There goes Kane.
[Lawler] The back of Kane's head bounced right of the mat.
[Cole] The seven footer from the top rope.
But again he sits up.
And now Triple H tries to make it out of the cage.
-[Lawler] Get up, Kane! -[Cole] If you get to the floor, you win.
[Lawler] That coward's running from you.
-[crowd roaring] -He has him.
Kane's up, Triple H almost out, almost out…
and Kane's got the leg again.
[Lawler] You can't get away from the seven footer.
-Oh, look at this. -[Cole] That's no man's land up there.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. Uh-oh. -[Cole] He's gonna get out, King,
he's gonna make it out. Triple H.
[Lawler] Quick, Kane, go through the door.
[Cole] Triple H is gonna win this one.
-He's gonna make it out. -[Lawler] Grab him, grab him!
[Cole] No, Kane's gonna chokeslam him.
Kane's got the hand around the neck.
[Lawler] Slam him in the ring, not outside.
[Cole] He can't do this.
Not form the top rope.
[Lawler] Nobody tells Kane what he can and can't do.
-[both exclaiming] -[Cole] Triple H with a great counter.
What a counter by Triple H.
[Lawler] Oh, no, we got trouble.
[Cole] How much does Triple H have left?
And Kane now, railing.
Triple H now with the momentum.
[Lawler] I'm worried about how much Kane's got left.
[Cole] Triple H now, off the rope.
-Look out. -[Lawler] Watch out.
[Cole] Kane head first into that steel cage.
[Lawler] Kane is down, he's hurt.
[Cole] Triple H wants Kane to get back on his feet.
He's wants to exact revenge for last week.
[Lawler] He's an idiot, he should try to get out of the cage and win this.
-[Cole] Wait a minute, wait a minute. -[Lawler] Come on Kane.
Oh, no, setting him up.
-Here we go! -[Cole] Oh!
Triple H set up Kane for the Pedigree,
and what a back body drop into the cage.
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh, I'm just thinking
what if something like that happens to Mr. McMahon?
[Cole] Kane, he's got it locked in.
-Here we go! -[Lawler] That's it!
-[Cole] Chokeslam -[Lawler] That's it!
[Cole] No pinfalls, folks, you win when you get out of the cage,
either through the door or over the top.
[Lawler] I think Mr. McMahon is gonna chokeslam
-"Stone Cold" Steve Austin just like that. -[Cole] Please.
[Lawler] He'll pick him up high in the air,
just like Kane did Triple H
and then slam him right down to that mat.
[Cole] I think Mr. McMahon's strategy should be to get in the ring
and try to get out as quickly as possible.
[Lawler] He's no coward.
-Look at this, we got something here. -[Cole] X-Pac, it's X-Pac!
[Lawler] What's he doing? Look out!
-[Cole] X-Pac slamming the door, again! -[Lawler] Oh, my God.
[Cole] Two vicious doors slammed into Kane's head.
[Lawler] What?!
[Cole] X-Pac getting some revenge for last week and earlier tonight.
[Lawler] Kane is hurt.
[Cole] You gotta give X-Pac a lot of credit.
He's got a lot of heart.
[Lawler] Kane, roll over towards the door. No, X-Pac is at the door.
Go the other way.
[Cole] Somehow Kane has made it to his feet again.
Kane tried to go out the door,
-X-Pac prevented it. -[Lawler] What is he doing?
[Cole] Now he's gonna try to go over the top of the cage.
-[Lawler] What is X-Pac doing? Look! -[Cole] You gotta give this kid credit.
[Lawler] What do you mean "credit?" You gotta get him out of here.
[Cole] He's outweighed by 100 pounds.
Look at this.
[Lawler] He's not supposed to be here.
[Cole] Look, the other side, it's Triple H.
[Lawler] Kane, turn around.
Kane doesn't realize Triple H
-is gonna go over the top. -[Lawler] Look at this.
Look who's coming, look at this.
[Cole] It's Chyna, it's that Benedict Arnold, Chyna,
-and she's going in the cage. -[Lawler] No, it's this--
She's even inside.
Wait a minute, is she gonna help?
What's she doing?
-Oh! -[Cole] Woah! Chyna of the top rope.
[Lawler] Chyna, no!
-She's grabbing him! -[Cole] Triple H!
-[Lawler screams] -Triple H wins.
Triple H has outdone Kane.
Triple H wins, and Chyna is furious!
[Lawler] I'm gonna tell you one thing,
that X-Pac is gonna pay for this.
Shane McMahon will make X-Pac pay.
[Cole] X-Pac with a ton of guts.
Triple H with revenge.
Kane and Chyna left reeling.
[Chyna] Kane, stop.
Kane.
Kane, wait, stop.
Let them have their little moment.
-[Lawler] Kane's hurt bad. -Listen to me, Triple H,
this thing between us is not gonna round and round.
It's gonna be short
and it's gonna be painful.
Two weeks, Triple H.
St. Valentine's Day massacre.
Happy Valentine's Day, sweetheart.
[Lawler] What does that mean? art.
