[intriguing music playing]
[bell dinging]
[Ross] Austin has lost the title.
Vince McMahon has the WWE Title Belt.
[Mr. McMahon] You don't have it anymore.
It's mine.
[Lawler] How brilliant is Vince McMahon?
[Mr. McMahon] I wanna make Stone Cold's life miserable.
[Stone Cold] When you screwed Stone Cold Steve Austin,
you cemented your own damn fate.
[crowd cheering]
[Ross] He's got McMahon, he's got McMahon.
Oh, damn it.
[Mr. McMahon] Stone Cold, screw you. You're fired.
[Stone Cold] If want me to beat Vince McMahon's ass,
give me a "hell yeah."
[crowd cheering]
[Mr. McMahon] Austin, the World Wrestling Entertainment for you
will never ever be the same again.
[Lawler] How brilliant is Vince McMahon?
[Mr. McMahon] There is no chance in hell
of you becoming the WWE Champion at WrestleMania,
not a chance in hell!
[Ross] The Rattlesnake rules.
The Rattlesnake rules again.
[crowd cheering]
It is Vince McMahon's saddest day.
[Lawler] This is gonna go down as the blackest day
in the history of the World Wrestling Entertainment.
[Ross] "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is the WWE Champion again.

[Cole] On a night when we honor "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
as WWE Champion for a third time,
we welcome you to Raw is War,
live from a sold-out Continental Airlines Arena
in the shadow of New York City.
Michael Cole, Jerry "The King" Lawler at ringside.
["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing]
[Cole] It was a six month journey.
A grueling one at that, but "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
has overcome incredible odds.
Stone Cold, King, can once again be called WWE Champion.
[Lawler] A black, black day in the history
of the World Wrestling Entertainment if you ask me.
And I know Mr. McMahon is beside himself.
This is his worst nightmare come to life.
Steve Austin with the WWE Title Belt in his hand once again.
[crowd cheering loudly]
Can I get a "hell yeah"?
[crowd] Hell yeah!
Oh, you're damn right,
because "Stone Cold" Steve Austin did exactly what he said he was gonna do.
I went to Philadelphia, checked into the SmackDown Hotel,
rolled right up into room 316
and proceeded to burn that son of a bitch to the ground.
[crowd cheering loudly]
To The Rock I say this,
I will give you all the credit in the world,
because it was one hell of a fight.
[Lawler] Stone Cold, baby!
Now that all of the sentimental crap is out of the way,
when I woke up this morning and looked past that pile of beer cans…
[Lawler] That's the truth.
[Cole] Why not?
And I saw this WWE belt sitting there.
I thought to myself,
"That damn thing ain't worth all the trouble."
[Lawler] What?
I looked at that belt and I said,
"That belt just ain't worth all the aggravation."
I looked at that belt and said,
"Uh-uh, that damn thing just ain't gonna cut it."
-[Lawler] What's he talking about? -[Cole] I have no clue.
-So… -[Lawler] He's still drunk.
So what I want is, Vince, I know you're back there.
I know you're watching your little monitor.
What I want you to do is come out here,
because tonight on Monday Night Raw,
I am gonna relinquish the WWE belt.
-[Cole] What? -[Lawler] What?
[Cole] What the hell is he talking about?
If you don't know what that means, Vince,
it means I'm gonna give your little belt back to you,
so bring your ass out here.
[Cole] King, for six months…
[Lawler] He's finally come to his senses.
I ain't gonna wait all night, Vince. I ain't got no tricks up my sleeve.
Come out here and get your little belt.
[Cole] King, Stone Cold spent six months trying to climb the mountain again
and he reached it last night, what's he doing?
[Lawler] What? This is wonderful.
[Stone Cold] Come on down.
[Lawler] I mean, let's face it, last night was Mr. McMahon's darkest hour,
but apparently every problem has a silver lining.
This is wonderful!
[Cole] The owner of the WWE, Mr. McMahon, on his way to the ring.
[Lawler] Now wait a minute, Mr. McMahon, no, no,
don't be too quick to trust him. He's the Rattlesnake.
[Cole] King, this is surreal.
Come on down here and get your little belt.
[Cole] I can't believe this is happening.
You're gonna give me…
You're gonna relinquish that WWE belt?
Well, trust me.
-[Lawler] Yeah, right. -Trust me.
Come in here, no tricks.
I'm gonna hand you your little belt back.
Just like that.
[Lawler] This is too good to be true.
[Cole] I'm speechless.
King, listen, this place is sold out.
[Lawler] Yeah, they're speechless too, that's good.
[Cole] You look around this arena, I mean, people can't believe it.
[Stone Cold] Easy, easy, easy.
-[Lawler] Be careful. -I'm not gonna hurt you.
Come on in and get your little belt.
[Lawler] What do you think? Is he really gonna do it?
[Cole] He can't be serious.
[Lawler] Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Oh, please.
[crowd cheering loudly]
They're not being silent anymore.
He is not a-- He is not an a-hole.
[Stone Cold] There you go.
[Lawler] He got it.
[Cole] Stone Cold turned over the WWE Championship belt to the boss.
Austin, I knew one day you'd crack under the pressure.
I just wish I could say thank you.
[Lawler] Don't let him in the Corporation, whatever you do, Mr. McMahon.
What a wonderful sight that is.
[Mr. McMahon] But I can't.
-[Lawler laughs] -[Cole] I can't believe this.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
-Wait just a minute. -[Cole] Uh-oh.
Come back here, it ain't gonna be quite that easy.
I got a little footage I'd like to show you on the big screen up here.
Hit the damn footage.
[Ross] This is what it's about right here.
[Mr. McMahon] You don't have it anymore. It's mine.
There's only one place
that this championship belt is going.
And that's above my fireplace
on my mantle in one of my homes.
[Stone Cold] I told you you could have that belt back,
but you can rest assured, Vince,
I am the World Wrestling Entertainment Champion,
and there ain't a damn thing you can do about that.
[crowd cheering]
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin ain't through, not by a long shot.
Now what I'm telling you,
to go call one of your little butlers,
go down to Greenwich, Connecticut,
and bring that damn belt back,
-because that's the one that I want. -[Lawler] Greenwich?
[Cole] Stone Cold wants the custom-made belt.
The belt he had custom made when he won the WWE title.
And if you don't go get that damn belt, you got two hours, son.
If you don't get my damn belt, I'm gonna beat your ass
in front of everybody here.
[Lawler] What?
[Cole] Mr. McMahon has two hours to come up with Stone Cold's belt.
Well, first of all, let me remind you of something.
And that is the championship belt that you want is on my mantle.
And I must be honest with you, every morning when I get up,
I walk by that mantle, it reminds me
that I own a piece of Stone Cold.
And the answer is no.
You're not gonna get your championship belt.
There's no reason for me to give you that belt, it's mine.
If you want me to beat his ass, give me a "hell yeah."
-[crowd] Hell yeah! -[Lawler] Wait a minute, no! No, no, no!
Wait just a moment.
I'd like to remind you, you may be the WWE Champion
and it sticks in my craw, yeah.
But you lay one hand on me without sufficient physical provocation
and you know what the contract reads,
you'll be fired on the spot.
[Lawler laughing] Right, I remember.
[Cole] Well, he is right.
That's what the contract states.
It's up to you, Austin.
Hit me with that other piece of footage I got.
[Lawler] What?
[Cole] That's last night at WrestleMania, King,
last night at WrestleMania.
[Stone Cold] All right, cut the footage.
I believe that is sufficient physical provocation,
so that means…
[Lawler] Oh, no, he's right.
Oh, no, wait a minute.
That means within a 24-hour period, your ass belongs to me.
And according to my little watch right here,
it means you've got two damn hours to get my belt back
or I'm gonna stomp a mud hole in your ass and walk it dry.
[Lawler] Damn Rattlesnake.
And that's the bottom line 'cause Stone Cold said so.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] That's it, King. That's it, it's in the contract.
Mr. McMahon provoked the Rattlesnake at WrestleMania last night.
I smell a Corporate butt kickin' and, King,
this one is perfectly-- Wait a minute!
Mr. McMahon just hit the Rattlesnake with the Championship Belt.
[Lawler laughs]
[Cole] Mr. McMahon just hit the Rattlesnake with the belt.
[Lawler] What in the world is he thinking about?
Vince, you know I can be a real nice guy sometimes,
or I can be a real mean son of a bitch, so you got it, son.
We're gonna do things the hard way.
Two hours, your ass belongs to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[Cole] Not only did Mr. McMahon physically provoke
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin at WrestleMania last night,
but, King, we gotta take another look at this.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin…
Mr. McMahon hit "Stone Cold" Steve Austin from behind
with the championship belt.
Mr. McMahon… Let's take a look now at this footage, King.
From behind, Mr. McMahon with the belt to the face.
Twice now, in 24 hours,
he has physically provoked the Texas Rattlesnake.
Well, let's get it right.
Did he hit him from behind or did he hit him in the face?
I think Mr. McMahon stood toe to toe with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
and hit him right in the face
because he is a man, Mr. McMahon is.
The bottom line is, Mr. McMahon has less than two hours
to bring back that custom-made belt
here to the Continental Airlines Arena
where all hell is gonna break loose.
I don't like that.
Also folks, here tonight on Raw,
The Rock beats "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn,
and The Rock is in a foul mood.
Yeah, The Rock is the man that should still be the champion.
I'm telling you that right now.
Road Dogg will defend the Intercontinental Championship tonight
against Goldust.
This will be interesting after last night's WrestleMania.
[Lawler] Yeah, and also tonight,
"The Big Show" Paul Wight, he's out of jail.
He's here live tonight.
But what kind of frame of mind is he gonna be in?
The Big Show in action right here on Raw.
[Lawler] Wait a minute.
[Cole] And check this out, folks, this is Tori and Ivory.
Tori and Ivory will be teaming up tonight.
Jacqueline will team up with the lovely Sable,
the WWE Women's Champion.
[Lawler howls]
[Cole] Sable, Jacqueline, Tori, Ivory,
coming up next right here live
from the Continental Airlines Arena and--
[Lawler] Uh-oh.
[Cole] That's Paul Bearer, The Ministry of Darkness.
What the hell is the Ministry of Darkness doing here?
Folks, fasten your seat belts.
Raw is War is headed to the dark side.
[Cole] Folks, we're back live on Raw is War.
This is what happened a few moments ago.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin celebrating.
Watch Mr. McMahon, King.
Blindsiding the Rattlesnake with the championship belt.
[Lawler] Well, I mean, you know,
Stone Cold gave it back to Mr. McMahon.
And I guess he felt like he could do whatever he wanted to with it.
[Cole] Well, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's given Mr. McMahon two hours.
[Mr. McMahon] There's only one thing to do.
Stephanie, get on the phone, call the house, okay?
And get that championship belt down here.
Get the help, get it down here as soon as possible.
How could you do that? How can you sell out like that?
You can't let Austin do this. You can't let him control…
-Control our-- -Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Who are you talking to?
Easy now, okay?
I'll do this and I'll do it my way, all right?
And everything will be fine. We'll do it my way.
["Wild Cat" playing]
[Lawler] Well, I don't know if I agree with that,
but Mr. McMahon put his son Shane in his place
by telling his daughter Stephanie to call home
and have the championship belt sent to the arena.
[Cole] Check it out. Here comes Sable.
She retained the WWE Women's Title last night at WrestleMania
with a win over Tori.
And you just saw the Coast Guard rescue of the week,
thanks to a little help from Nicole Bass.
[Lawler] Oh, yeah.
Oh, man, look at that.
[Cole] Sable set for tag team action, King.
[Lawler] Take a look at this.
Let me just ask you, how proud do you think
Mr. McMahon is of the fact that Sable
is on the best selling issue of Playboy Magazine
in the last 15 years?
[Cole] I wonder how much money Mr. McMahon made off that issue.
[Lawler] Mr. McMahon making money, what are you talking about?
This is for all the women who want to be me
and for the men who come to see me.
[Lawler] That's me! Whoo-hoo!
Are you boys ready for the grind?
[Lawler] Oh, oh, oh! Whoo-hoo!
[Cole] I guess that means you are.
[Lawler] Me and Sable, one of us is thinking about sex.
Okay, it's me.
Look at that!
["Pretty Mean Sister" playing]
[bell dinging]
[announcer] The following women's tag team contest
is scheduled for one fall.
Making her way to the ring being accompanied by PMS member,
Terri Runnels, Jacqueline!
[Cole] So, Jacqueline will team up with Sable right here live,
tag team action on Raw is War.
And this one is going to be interesting.
Folks tonight, Raw is War
is brought to you by Chef Boyardee.
Overstuff yourself on Monday night
with Chef Boyardee Overstuffed and the WWE.
[Lawler] And by the motor oil that provides maximum protection.
Castrol GTX, drive hard.
[Cole] And by Burger King.
Where you can have delicious King fries,
Burger King.
And Terri Runnels now out here in front of us, King.
Looking mighty fine.
[Lawler] I think that's one of those Bill Clinton cigars.
-[announcer] And their opponents… -[Cole] And here comes Ivory.
And I'll tell you all about that cigar, King.
We saw it last night on Sunday Night Heat.
It was Ivory versus Jacqueline.
Jacqueline picked up a win.
But then, in insult to injury,
Terri Runnels, Jacqueline's partner in PMS,
went into the ring.
And look what she does with that lit cigar.
-[Lawler] Ow! -She burns the face of Ivory.
And Ivory now set for tag team action.
She'll take on Sable and Jacqueline.
[Lawler] Let's face it, PMS stands for Pretty Mean Sisters.
["Full Out" playing]
And her tag team partner,
Tori!
[Cole] It's gonna be Tori and Ivory against Sable and Jacqueline.
And Tori, courageous effort last night at WrestleMania
when she took on Sable for the WWE Women's Championship.
-[bell dinging] -And here we go now.
Ivory against Jacqueline.
Big rivalry, big score to be settled here.
This should be a good one.
Tag team match-up, folks, live on Raw is War.
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh!
[Cole] And keep in mind, King, the clock is ticking.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin's given Mr. McMahon two hours
to get his custom-made belt to this arena
from Greenwich, Connecticut.
[Lawler] Put her down, put her down!
Oh!
Jackie goes down hard and here now comes Tori.
[Lawler] This is that weird fan that's been stalking Sable
all over the country.
[Cole] Tori did pretty well for herself last night at WrestleMania.
And if it wasn't for Nicole Bass who helped Sable out,
who knows what would've happen? And wait a minute.
[Lawler] Oh, watch yourself!
[Cole] Terri Runnels trying to light that cigar
and Ivory now chasing Terri Runnels.
[Lawler] Well, I know Ivory was really upset about the fact
that she felt she was scarred for life,
disfigured from that… from that cigar last night.
[Cole] Terri now off the ropes, here's the crossbody
into the lateral press and a kick-out by Jacqueline.
And Sable's more concerned with the fans at ringside
than she is about working with her partner Jacqueline.
[Lawler] I know. She just looked over here and gave me a nice smile.
Boy, that's a smile I'd like to wake up to.
-[Cole] Wait a minute. -[Lawler] What?
[Cole] Sable just clocked Jacqueline from behind!
[Lawler] Look at Sable.
[Cole] Tori takes advantage, here's the backslide now.
-And Tori takes up the victory. -[bell dings]
[Lawler] What?
[announcer] Here are your winners, Tori and Ivory.
[Cole] I'll tell you what, King. You know what Sable said?
She doesn't care about any women,
she only cares about herself and men.
[Lawler] Wait a minute, we got a situation developing here.
Oh, here we go, folks.
[Lawler] Let's get it on, girls.
[Cole] What the hell?
-["Dark Side V2" playing] -Uh-oh.
[Lawler] Wait a minute.
[crowd cheering]
Here comes The Brood!
[Cole] The Brood and Viscera.
It's the Ministry of Darkness heading to the ring.
[Cole] King, what business does The Undertaker and the Ministry
have out here?
-[Lawler] I don't know, but I think… -Sable's surrounded, King.
Sable's surrounded.
[Lawler] Sable's still in the ring. Get out of there, Sable!
[Cole] The Ministry has Sable surrounded in the ring.
[Lawler] This could be real bad.
[Cole] Sable can't get out of the ring, folks, surrounded by the Ministry,
led, of course, by that man, The Undertaker.
No, child, don't be scared.
I came out here
to see what you got.
[Lawler exclaims]
[Cole] Sable's frightened to death.
[Lawler] Oh, wait a minute.
She's gonna show The Undertaker what she's got.
-Oh, my God! -[Cole] Oh, my God!
Taker, Taker!
King, The Undertaker.
McMahon, I got your precious little meal ticket,
and I can snap her like a twig.
So what it is, I want you to come out here right now
before I snap her head right off her shoulders.
[Mr. McMahon] You stay right there, Stephanie.
[Cole] King, The Undertaker means it.
No, no, no, no. This is me.
-I go. -[The Undertaker] Come alone.
-I can do this. -You stay with Stephanie.
Just stay with Stephanie and keep an eye on her.
There's security out here, you'll be safe.
Just stay right here.
[Cole] King, The Undertaker hanged a man last night
at Hell in a Cell at WrestleMania.
We saw what he could do. What the hell can he do now?
What's the matter…
[Lawler] I don't know, but that's--
Mr. McMahon, hurry up and get out here.
You ain't going nowhere.
[Cole] Mr. McMahon heading into the arena.
But I guess he doesn't care that much for you, does he?
[Lawler] Yes, he does. He's on his way. Don't hurt her!
[Cole] The Undertaker with a hand around Sable's throat.
The Undertaker calling Sable Mr. McMahon's meal ticket.
-[Lawler] How can he do this? -Where's he at?
[Cole] Lately, The Undertaker's been doing whatever he's wanted to do.
Psychological mind games with that man.
-Mr. McMahon. -[Lawler] Okay.
He's here, let her go!
[Mr. McMahon] What kind of man are you?
-[Cole] What's he doing? -[Mr. McMahon] Stephanie.
[Cole] Wait a minute.
[Lawler] Mr. McMahon is…
[The Undertaker] It's nice to see his true colors.
[Cole] Mr. McMahon realized that Stephanie…
[Lawler] Well, wait a minute.
[The Undertaker] Let's just see…
what he really thinks of his personal assets.
-Stephanie! -[Lawler] What's happened?
It's like Mr. McMahon looked around and realized something--
[Mr. McMahon] Stephanie! Stephanie.
Stephanie!
-Damn it, where is she? -I don't know.
-Where is she? -I don't know.
You were supposed to keep an eye on her.
I knew it was gonna happen.
-I'll call the cops. -I knew it was gonna happen.
Don't call the cops. No.
Don't call the damn cops.
-You sound like-- -I'm sorry.
I don't give a damn. You saw what he did to the boss man.
The damn demonstration last night.
Who knows what he's gonna do to her.
I'm sorry, Dad. I'm sorry.
People are looking. They could not have gone far.
She's gotta be in the parking lot somewhere.
They'll find her.
I know they'll find her.
I don't know.
["Break It Down" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Michael, this is awful.
[Cole] Mr. McMahon is frantic. He's beside himself.
His daughter Stephanie King is missing.
[Lawler] What? Missing?
She's obviously been abducted by some members of the Ministry.
I did not see The Acolytes out here at ringside.
And I think that's what happened.
I think Mr. McMahon all of a sudden looks around
and realizes that all the Ministry was here except for The Acolytes.
[Cole] And here comes X-Pac.
Obviously with plenty on his mind
after WrestleMania last night with Triple H.
His longtime companion turned on X-Pac
to join The Corporation.
[music fades]
[X-Pac] Turn the damn music off.
You know, one year ago tonight,
I came back to the World Wrestling Entertainment.
[crowd cheering]
I came back because I got a call from a friend.
He said, kid, DX is falling apart.
Please come help hold this thing together.
Well, it's been a hell of a ride.
Along with the New Age Outlaws,
we've kicked ass and taken names for a year straight.
[crowd cheering]
But unless you've had your head buried in the sand,
you know last night that all changed.
You know, we got a lot of important choices to make in life.
And last night, you made yours.
But tonight, I make mine.
And D-Generation X will not die.
X-Pac and the New Age Outlaws will come out here each and every week
and say suck it and raise hell.
[crowd cheering loudly]
But now I'm talking to you, Hunter.
That is your name.
But tonight, you're not Hunter.
You are the hunted, pal.
Because tonight,
we will fight and your ass is grass.
And I'm gonna smoke it!
-[Lawler] Oh! -[Cole] King, can you blame X-Pac?
Can you blame him?
Last night at WrestleMania,
his longtime friend turned his back on him.
-Stabbed him in the back. -[music resumes]
And X-Pac wants Triple H right here tonight live on Raw.
Triple H.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -She's not in the parking lot.
[Shane] I was looking for her. I'm so sorry.
[phone ringing]
It's them.
Hello?
[The Undertaker] Vince, it is true, isn't it?
She really is sugar and spice and everything nice.
[The Undertaker laughs ominously]
[receiver clatters]
What happened?
[Cole] Folks, we are live at the Continental Airlines Arena
in the shadow of New York City.
We've been sold out for weeks
and the Big Apple is loving WWE Raw,
and, King, what a night it's been already.
[Lawler] What a night? What are you talking about?
It is horrible so far.
[bell dinging]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Making his way to the ring, he weighs in at 500 pounds.
"The Big Show" Paul Wight.
[Cole] He's seven feet tall, he's 500 pounds
and he's been released under his own recognizance
after being arrested last night at WrestleMania.
It was The Big Show versus Mankind.
Mr. McMahon came down to the ring, irate that The Big Show was disqualified.
Here's what happened.
Everything's at stake in WrestleMania.
Don't walk away from me.
Remember this, I'm Vince McMahon, and you're a nobody.
Don't--
[crowd cheering loudly]
You're a nobody. I'm Vince McMahon, damn it.
You got that, huh?
[Cole] And after that shot, King,
Mr. McMahon had The Big Show arrested as I mentioned,
released under his own recognizance.
And I guess it's fair to say
he's no longer a member of The Corporation.
[Lawler] Well, I should hope not.
[announcer] And his opponent from The Corporation
weighing in at 282 pounds,
Test!
[Cole] Will it be Corporate punishment for the Big Show tonight?
Here comes The Corporate team's hired gun.
But I don't think Mr. McMahon's too concerned
about this match-up, King.
He's concerned about his daughter, Stephanie,
who's apparently been abducted by The Undertaker
and the Ministry of Darkness.
[Lawler] Well, isn't this great?
Paul Wight, as big and great and huge and great that he is--
Oh, no, look out.
I mean, he started Mr. McMahon on a downhill slide last night
when he punched him.
And after that, Stone Cold becomes the champion?
And then tonight, Stone Cold comes out here,
demands that Mr. McMahon bring his belt back from his home
and then Stephanie gets abducted.
What else is gonna happen to poor Mr. McMahon?
[Cole] And here's The Big Show, not in a fun frame of mind, folks.
Look at this. Test.
And slammed to the canvas.
The Big Show covers him, hooks the leg.
There's two and The Big Show dismantles Test.
Wow, I can't believe it.
[announcer] "The Big Show" Paul Wight.
[Cole] The Big Show destroyed Test.
[Lawler] Look at him. What do you expect?
[Cole] Test is 6'6", 270. The Big Show destroyed him.
Well, Mr. McMahon, I know you're sitting in the back.
It looks like you got a little bit of personal trauma on your hands.
[Lawler] An understatement?
Well, you know, when I sit back and think about it,
I really don't give a damn.
[Lawler] What?
First mistake you made
is you being dumb enough to think that you own me.
Nobody, and I mean nobody owns The Big Show.
And I remember it was you that said that when Paul Wight
The Big Show comes to the WWE,
everything's gonna change.
[chuckles]
Well, you know what?
You're exactly right.
And starting tonight,
you, my friend, are gonna eat those words.
And that is the last word.
[Cole] The Big Show on a mission.
-[Lawler exclaims] Look at that! -The seven foot 500 pounder
just dismantled The Corporate team's hired gun, Test.
Look at this, King, lifting Test nearly eight feet in the air.
And slammed him into the canvas.
[Lawler] This was nothing more than a message
that he's sending to Mr. McMahon.
Oh, my God.
[Cole] The Big Show sending a message to the owner of the WWE.
[Mr. McMahon] All right.
She's not anywhere around in the parking lot.
She's gotta be somewhere here in the building, Ken.
Thank you for helping me.
Please find her. She's gotta be here in the building.
Vince, if she's in this building, I'll find her.
I'll find her and I will bring her back.
Let's go. We'll find her.
-Thank you. -We will find her.
[man] We'll get him, Mr. McMahon.
Hey, you seen a young girl wearing a blue shirt,
long brown hair?
Have you seen her? No?
Hey, have you seen a girl walk through here?
-Blue shirt, long brown hair? -No.
You haven't seen her?
You guys seen a girl?
Long hair, long brown hair, blue shirt.
Nope.
[Cole] Okay, Ken Shamrock is looking for Mr. McMahon's daughter, Stephanie.
-[bell dings] -Who's apparently been abducted
by the Ministry of Darkness.
[announcer] …scheduled for one fall,
and it is for the World Wrestling Entertainment Hardcore Championship.
Introducing the challenger being accompanied to the ring
by JR, Jim Ross, from Norman, Oklahoma.
Weighing in at 280 pounds, "Dr. Death" Steve Williams.
[Lawler] Well, thank God, Michael Cole,
that we get the world's most dangerous man on the case.
He's looking for Stephanie. If anybody can find her, he can.
In the meantime, here's your good friend, JR.
Well, folks, Dr. Death is set to take on Hardcore Holly,
and it was two weeks ago on Raw.
Hardcore Holly lost the title to "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn.
JR had set up an announce table for a private broadcast.
Hardcore Holly hit the table
and aided "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn in the win.
And there you see Billy Gunn picking up the victory.
And King, Jim Ross has joined our Spanish colleagues.
Buenos dias, gentlemen.
-Well, tell me… -Amigos.
-I don't speak Spanish. -[commentator] Buenas noches.
How you doing? I just want everybody to know
that I want my damn job back.
[announcer] And his opponent from Mobile, Alabama,
weighing in at 237 pounds,
he is the World Wrestling Entertainment Hardcore Champion,
Hardcore Holly.
[Cole] …Jim Ross came back to work to call the championship match.
But he was a bit upset that he's not calling Raw tonight,
so I guess he decided to join our Spanish colleagues.
-[bell dinging] -[Lawler] Si, habla English.
[Cole] Well, here we go now.
This is "Dr. Death" Steve Williams and Hardcore Holly.
Hardcore Championship's on the line.
No holds barred, falls count anywhere.
No disqualification.
And King, Hardcore Holly won the Hardcore Championship
again for the second time last night at WrestleMania.
A triple threat victory over Al Snow and Billy Gunn,
and the champion Billy Gunn was never pinned
because of triple threat rules.
[Lawler] Well, you talk about Hardcore Holly, I mean,
and this hardcore match is just a continuation
of what took place last week at that fraternity house.
I mean, when these two guys went at it
-at that frat party… -[JR] No, you guys can talk.
I go to do the main event at WrestleMania last night,
only because Stone Cold demanded it.
[Cole] I didn't know you knew Spanish.
I didn't think I did a bad job, you know, and I still can't get my damn job back
because of this McMahon conspiracy.
I'm not gonna be a corporate butt kisser.
I just wanna go back to work.
[Lawler] Does JR not realize he's speaking to a Spanish audience?
[Cole] He's speaking to a Spanish audience.
I can tell you one thing, I don't think Mr. McMahon's
too concerned about Jim Ross tonight.
His daughter Stephanie, folks, has been abducted
by the Ministry of Darkness and The Undertaker.
Ken Shamrock is in search all throughout this building
looking for Stephanie McMahon.
And that's not the only thing Mr. McMahon has to worry about
because "Stone Cold" Steve Austin has given Mr. McMahon
and the clock's ticking, King.
By my watch, Mr. McMahon now has 70 minutes
to bring back that custom-made championship belt for the Rattlesnake.
[Lawler] Well, there's more important things to worry about than that.
[Cole] "Dr. Death" Steve Williams now working on that left leg
of Hardcore Holly.
Hardcore Championship's on the line.
And you gotta give Dr. Death his due.
Four time wrestling All-American in college,
a real pro, real veteran.
[Lawler] And what about what he did to that fraternity house last week?
Him and JR over there having a big frat party.
All of a sudden the fight breaks out.
They busted the stove, they broke a gas line.
They knocked down about four doors.
They even busted a fish tank.
The fraternity had a pet fish,
they had a fish named Wanda in there.
And I'm not gonna tell you what happened to that.
[Cole] Well, it was a party to honor Jim Ross at a fraternity house
and Hardcore Holly spoiled it.
And Dr. Death is just dismantling that left knee now
of Hardcore Holly.
[Lawler] Look, speaking of spoiling things,
I think JR's spoiling the night for the Spanish announcers over there.
Perfect-- Dr. Death is a perfect athlete
to compete for the Hardcore--
The Hardcore title.
Now that's a good move by Bob Holly.
I'm not like a lot of other announcers.
I'll give Bob Holly credit where credit's due.
He's a tough son of a gun.
[Cole] King, he hasn't said one thing in Spanish yet, has he?
[Lawler chuckles]
[Lawler] Si, senor.
[Cole] Well, here we go now, Hardcore Holly with a table, folks.
No holds barred in this one.
It's the Hardcore Championship match.
Dr. Death was planted with that DDT.
Folks, again, Ken Shamrock is searching desperately
for Vince's daughter, Mr. McMahon's daughter, Stephanie,
all throughout this arena.
We've got cameras following Ken Shamrock.
And if he can find Stephanie McMahon, we'll break back to it.
Apparently, King, the Ministry's abducted
the daughter of the owner of this--
[Lawler] I know, I know the Ministry has abducted Stephanie McMahon.
Can you imagine the feelings and the thoughts
that are going through the head of Mr. McMahon right now?
[Cole] Oh! Inverted atomic drop.
[yells]
-[Lawler] He heard. -Look out now.
Referee knocked out.
King, this is the Oklahoma Stampede.
[Lawler] Oh, my God.
[Cole] Oklahoma Stampede through the table.
We have a new champion, but the referee--
Wait a minute. Wait a minute, King.
[Lawler] We don't have a new champion. There's nobody counting anything.
[Cole] Al Snow with a frying pan!
[Cole] Al Snow just said nobody beats--
That idiot just hit Doc, my boy, with that--
[commentator speaking Spanish]
[Cole in English] Al Snow just said, King, that nobody…
[Ross] That's not right.
-[commentator speaking Spanish] -[Ross] That's wrong.
[commentator speaking Spanish]
[Cole in English] And this one's over.
Al Snow knocked out Dr. Death with a frying pan.
[announcer] Here's your winner and still World Wrestling Entertainment
Hardcore Champion…
Hardcore Holly.
[Cole] Jim Ross is irate.
Hardcore Holly retains the title.
And Al Snow says nobody beats Holly for his title.
Al Snow's protecting his investment.
He doesn't want anybody to beat Holly except for Al Snow.
[Lawler] And Dr. Death is out like a light thanks to the frying pan.
Uh-oh, uh-oh.
The Rock's up next.
What do you want to do?
I don't give a damn about The Rock. I don't care, Shane.
Take over. I mean, do something.
-I don't care. -Okay. I got it.
Whatever you want me to do.
I got this.
["Do You Smell" playing]
[bell dinging]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Making his way to the ring being accompanied by one of the owners
of the World Wrestling Entertainment and the European Champion,
Shane McMahon, from Miami, Florida.
Weighing in at 275 pounds,
The Rock.
[Cole] It was perhaps one of the greatest matches
in the history of WrestleMania.
Last night, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
defeating that man, The Rock, for the WWE title.
But what a great effort by a spectacular athlete.
And folks, we're now being joined by the owner
of the WWE, Shane McMahon on the commentary.
[Lawler] Shane, let me just say this.
I admire the way you're holding up
in the face of this family tragedy.
[Shane] Hey, let me get this, I'm gonna say this one time, okay?
I'm deeply concerned about my baby sister, that's it.
That's all I'm gonna say, that's it.
Now let's pay attention to what we're doing here, okay?
Okay.
Well, folks, if you just joined us,
apparently Shane's sister, Stephanie McMahon,
has been abducted by the Ministry of Darkness.
Did you not just hear me?
That was it, that's the end of the discussion.
[music playing]
[Shane] Let's go, Rock, baby, yeah, one time.
[crowd cheering loudly]
[Cole] I'll tell you what, the former champion's
gonna have his hands full tonight
with "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn.
-[Shane] Are you out of your mind? -[Lawler] Take a look at this, Shane.
This is just about all that's left of DX,
they're just about history.
[Shane] The Rock is gonna take "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn,
for more rock bottom right through the center of the mat.
It's all over, thank you very much, Rock.
And Shane, speaking of DX,
what about the latest Corporate investment?
Triple H shocking the world.
Shocking the world?
Well, I'm definitely shocked. You're a menace.
[laughs] X-P-A-C, he couldn't handle me, no, no, no.
Triple H, Chyna, reunited in The Corporation.
[Cole] Shane McMahon…
Here we go, hold on, here we go, let's go.
Yeah, do it one more time, Rock.
[Lawler] Uh-oh, wait, we gotta listen to this guy.
[Shane] I'm getting excited.
You know what, Rock?
I ain't got but two words for you.
-[crowd chanting] -[Shane] Whatever.
[Cole] So here we go, it should be a tremendous match-up.
The Rock versus "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn.
And Shane, is the custom-made belt
that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin asked your father
to bring from the home in Greenwich,
Is it on its way down I-95?
[Shane] Obviously. Mr. McMahon gave an order.
Of course-- Here we go! Let's go, Rock, baby.
[Cole] Lock up in the center of the ring now.
-[Shane] Look at the power. -The Rock and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn.
[Shane] Look at this. Come on, Rock, baby, get-- Oh, no.
That's it, Rock, turn around.
Break, break, break.
[Cole] Reversal now by The Rock, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn in the corner.
[Shane] Lay that shot, lay that shot, lay that shot.
[laughs] Oh, yeah!
Yeah, two and one more time.
-Whoo-hoo! Beautiful. -[Cole] Big right hand by the ex-champ.
Superlative effort by The Rock last night in WrestleMania.
[Shane] That's it, Rock.
[Lawler] What can we do about these moronic fans
that are yelling that Rocky sucks.
[Shane] Let them chant whatever they want
because the Rock is still, in my view, the champ.
[Lawler] Did you see him kick out of the stunner last night?
-Unbelievable. -[Cole] What about the second time?
He didn't kick out of the stunner the second time.
Rock underneath that time, great leg sweep by "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn.
And Rock's in trouble.
[Shane] Come on, Rock! Rock, slow it down, Rock, slow it down.
That's it, that's it.
Get your cool, keep your cool, Rock.
[Cole] Guess, he couldn't keep his cool.
And he felt the drop kick underneath the chin.
And there's the arm bar now by Billy Gunn.
Shane, it's been an eventful evening here.
Not only the situation with Stone Cold and the championship belt,
but what about what The Big Show said?
Sending a message to The Corporation.
That's what he said.
Big Show, BS, there's a lot of that happening around here.
[Cole] Did you see how he dismantled Test?
[Shane] No, I was in the back.
[Cole] Anyway, Rock in trouble here.
"Bad Ass" Billy Gunn backed him into the corner.
And there's a kick to the midsection.
[Shane] That's illegal.
Come on, ref, break them up.
[Cole] Folks, D-Generation X still alive and well
according to X-Pac,
who's challenged Triple H for later on tonight.
[Shane] Oh, come on. Come on, Rock.
[Cole] The Outlaws and X-Pac left in D-Generation X.
[Shane] Oh, look at that! Beautiful!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
[Cole] The Rock just planted "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn with a DDT.
[Shane] Go, Rock, go, Rock!
[Lawler] That's what we've been waiting for.
-Lay them down. -[Shane] Two!
[Cole] There's two and a kick-out.
Shane, you're awfully exuberant considering
the fact that Ken Shamrock's searching all over this arena
for your sister, Stephanie.
As soon as I get up, you want to try to bring me down.
Michael…
I'm concerned about my sister.
I mean, come on, man. Leave me alone with this.
God!
[Cole] Folks, again, an update.
[Shane] Folks, folks, folks, folks.
[Cole] Stephanie McMahon has apparently been abducted
by the Ministry of Darkness and The Undertaker
and Ken Shamrock has been sent by Mr. McMahon
-to try to find-- -[Shane] That's it, Rock.
That's it, Rock. Oh, yeah.
[Cole] What a suplex by the Rock.
[Lawler] Hey, Michael, you're starting to get on Shane--
[Shane] That's it, come on!
[Cole] And The Rock now, after two,
and Billy Gunn kicks out The Rock in control.
Folks, we are live in the shadow of New York City,
spectacular match-up.
And I'm sure that Stone Cold's custom-made belt
is approaching the Continental Airlines Arena
about right now.
[Shane] Come on, Rock.
[Cole] Billy Gunn now whipped into the ropes here.
[Shane] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[Lawler] Beautiful.
-Beautiful. -[Shane] Oh, man.
[Cole] And Rock now goes into the cover.
There's two.
And almost had three. Got the shoulder up.
-[Lawler] Come on, ref. -[Cole] What did the custom-made belt
used to look like up on the mantle?
[Lawler] You're full of downers, aren't you?
[Shane] You haven't seen it?
[Cole] No, I haven't seen it. You never invited me to your home.
[Shane] You've seen it up on the Titantron a few minutes ago.
What have you been watching? King, what's he been doing?
-[Cole] Here we go now. -[Shane] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
[Cole] Look out!
-[Lawler] Into the announce table. -[Shane] How was that?
[Cole] Billy's in La-la land.
The Rock now in pursuit of "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn.
[Shane] Let's go-- Oh!
[Cole] Rock now in control.
[Shane laughs]
[indistinct]
You want The Great One to lay the SmackDown
or layeth the smacketh downeth on his candy ass?
Lay it the smacketh downeth on that candy ass right there.
Go get it!
What you're looking at right there is a bonafide piece of trash.
-Watch it. -[crowd cheers]
The Rock is fixing to go put his foot in his pimply ass.
[Shane] Go do it. Go put it in there. Oh, no, no.
Come on. No.
Uh-oh.
[Shane] No.
You sucketh!
[Lawler] We've lost complete control over here.
[Shane] Whatever.
Come on, baby. Let's go, Rock.
[Cole] And here's the Rock now in trouble.
"Bad Ass" Billy Gunn,
reversal misses with a clothesline.
Rock off the rope… Billy Gunn caught him.
Again, folks, Stephanie McMahon,
Mr. McMahon's daughter has been abducted
by the Ministry of Darkness and Ken Shamrock searching
the Continental Airlines Arena for her.
[Shane] Oh, here we go.
[Cole] Rock bottom time.
-Rock bottom time. -[Shane] Here we go. Oh!
Oh!
Oh, what's up here?
I'm smelling this!
I'm smelling it!
Yeah, boy.
And here we go, Rock.
One side and to the other.
And we got boom, boom, boom.
[Lawler exclaims]
[Cole] There's the corporate elbow, hook of the leg.
Yeah! Yes, you rock.
Love you. Lovin' it.
[Cole] The Rock impressive.
[announcer] Here is your winner.
[Shane] Yeah, baby.
[announcer] The Rock.
[Cole] The Rock with a big victory over "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn.
[Shane] Yeah, Rock.
[Cole] The Rock picked up the win.
But, King, again…
[Lawler chuckles] He knew his role, didn't he?
-Go ahead, Michael. -[Cole] But I'll tell you what.
Shane's little sister, Stephanie,
has been abducted by the Ministry of Darkness.
And somewhere in this building,
Ken Shamrock is trying to find her.
And God knows what the hell The Undertaker could do.
[Lawler] Okay, okay. Can't you tell by Shane's demeanor?
That son of a bitch is in the ring.
Please.
-Beat him. -Vince.
I want my baby girl back.
Vince, if it's the last thing I do, I'll whip his leg off
and I'll beat it out of him.
I'll beat it out of him, Vince. I'll find your daughter.
[Cole] We are live. There's Stone Cold Steve Austin
in his locker room looking at his watch, King.
The clock is ticking.
Mr. McMahon has just about 50 minutes
until the end of the show to present Stone Cold
with his custom-made belt or else.
[Lawler] Can you believe that Stone Cold is just sitting there
after all that's gone down tonight,
Mr. McMahon's daughter being abducted,
Stone Cold is still sitting there, waiting on his stinking belt?
He has no sympathy for McMahon, no compassion.
[Cole] And speaking of the Ministry of Darkness…
[Lawler] Staring at his watch.
…here comes the leader of The Brood, Gangrel.
And, King, it was last night at WrestleMania,
The Undertaker and the big boss man in a Hell in a Cell match.
And The Brood swooped down from the ceiling in Philadelphia
and aided The Undertaker
when The Undertaker hanged the big boss man from the roof of that cell.
And with that in mind,
who in the world knows what the Ministry of The Undertaker
could do to Mr. McMahon's daughter, Stephanie, here tonight?
[Lawler] Yeah, but I can't wait for the world's most dangerous man
to get out here because we're looking at Gangrel,
this weird psycho is part of the Ministry.
And Ken Shamrock has just promised Mr. McMahon
that he'll rip Gangrel's leg off if he has to.
He'll make Gangrel tell him where they've taken Stephanie.
[Cole] Ken Shamrock was in pursuit,
searching this arena for Stephanie McMahon.
And now, he takes his search into the ring.
["The Ultimate" playing]
[Lawler] Come on, Kenny.
[Cole] And Ken Shamrock, King, we've seen that look before.
The world's most dangerous man is in that so-called zone.
[Lawler] Yeah. Good.
I want him to grab the leg of Gangrel and I want to hear that bone snap.
-I want him to twist it off. -Here we go now.
-[bell dings] -[Cole] And Ken Shamrock,
speaking of snapping, hammering away now on Gangrel.
Backs him into the ropes now. And the leader of The Brood
ducks underneath that foot, catches Shamrock with a right hand.
[Lawler] Come on, Kenny, you made a promise.
[Cole] King, who knows what this Ministry of Darkness,
The Brood, Acolytes, Viscera, Mideon, and of course, The Undertaker,
who knows what this group is capable of?
[Lawler] They're capable of anything, you saw what happened last night.
They hung a man.
[Cole] The big boss man hanged, Hell in a Cell match by The Undertaker.
And Shamrock now with an elbow to the face of The Brood.
Look at this. Tremendous maneuver by Gangrel,
rolls into a cover now, and a kick-out by Shamrock.
[Lawler] Remember your promise, Shamrock, you promised Mr. McMahon.
[Cole] Folks, this isn't a match for Ken Shamrock.
Ken Shamrock is trying desperately to find out the whereabouts
of the daughter of the owner of this company.
[Lawler] Think about Stephanie.
[Cole] Oh! Gangrel, beautiful maneuver,
just planted Shamrock with a DDT.
[Lawler] What do you mean beautiful?
[Cole] Shoulder up for Ken Shamrock.
Folks, imagine what the owner of this company is going through.
Mr. McMahon desperately trying to find his daughter
who's been abducted by The Undertaker.
And King, as you see Gangrel now in control of Ken Shamrock.
Oh. You heard The Undertaker earlier on say…
she really is sugar and spice and everything nice,
talking about Stephanie McMahon.
[Lawler] How scary and sick is that?
[Cole] What a kick to the face now by Shamrock, and Gangrel reeling.
Ken Shamrock involved in a great event at WrestleMania,
the four corner elimination match for the Intercontinental Championship.
Road Dogg retained the title.
-Where is she? -[referee] Let him go. Come on, Shamrock.
[Cole] Shamrock screaming to Gangrel, "Where is she?"
[Lawler] Make him tell, make him tell.
[Cole] Speaking of course, the "she", Stephanie McMahon,
the daughter of Mr. McMahon.
And what a clothesline by Shamrock.
-And look out. -Come on, Shamrock.
[Cole] Into those stairs.
[Lawler] He's in the zone, he's in the zone.
-[Cole] And again… -Oh, yeah.
[Cole] Shamrock snapped, folks. Shamrock has snapped.
[Lawler] Make him tell, Kenny, make him tell.
[Cole] Gangrel was trying to block, but he couldn't,
and Shamrock is out of control.
[Lawler] He's not gonna tell where Stephanie is.
[Cole] Shamrock's lost it. He went after the referee.
[Lawler] Make him tell.
[Cole] Shamrock trying to beat it out of Gangrel,
trying to beat out the whereabouts of Stephanie McMahon.
[Lawler] Break his leg if you have to.
[Cole] All the way to the ring post.
-Where is she? -[referee] Come on!
Come on, Shamrock. I'm warning you. Shamrock, come on.
[Cole] Gangrel won't give it up and Shamrock relentless in his pursuit,
his beating of Gangrel.
[Lawler] He made a promise to Mr. McMahon.
He promised him that he'd find out where Stephanie was.
He would break his leg off of Gangrel if he has to.
Oh, he's gonna try to do it right now. Get him.
[Cole] Gangrel bounced off the stairs,
the velocity nearly taking him into the crowd here.
[Lawler] Oh, yeah.
One more time into those steps
and I know he'll tell you, Kenny, he'll tell you.
[Cole] Ken Shamrock's lost it.
You gonna count me out? You think I care?
[Cole] Shamrock just said he doesn't even care if he's counted out.
[Lawler] Of course not. He's on a mission to find Stephanie.
[Cole] Shot to the face by Ken Shamrock.
Gangrel in all kinds of trouble here,
as Shamrock-- Oh, what a right hand.
[Lawler] Don't knock him out where he can't tell,
keep him conscious.
-Where is she? -I don't know who'd take her.
[Cole] Shamrock is yelling again to Gangrel, "Where is she?
Where is Stephanie McMahon?"
King, this match, it's not about Ken Shamrock winning,
it's about one thing, finding out the whereabouts
of the owner of the company--
Of the daughter of the owner of this company,
Stephanie McMahon, has been abducted by The Undertaker.
[Lawler] Come on, Kenny, a few more and he'll tell you.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Shamrock in total control of Gangrel,
who now tries to battle back.
Right hand now to the chest,
now to the face by Gangrel, a member of The Brood,
a member of The Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness.
-Oh, and what a dropkick. -Beautiful.
[Cole] And Ken Shamrock isn't even going for covers here.
Shamrock hasn't gone for one cover in this match.
[Lawler] He's not here to pin the guy one-two-three.
You got to find out where Stephanie is.
Make him tell, Ken.
Make him tell.
[Cole] Ken Shamrock now with a right hand again to Gangrel.
Gangrel whipped into the ropes, Shamrock with an elbow.
[Lawler] He's gonna have to do more than that.
Pull out all the stops, Kenny!
[Cole] Gangrel backed into the ropes, off the ropes now.
Hurricanrana by Shamrock.
-[screams] -[Lawler] Uh-oh. Here we go.
[Cole] Here we go. Shamrock just…
[Lawler] It's truth or consequences time now.
[Cole] Shamrock, Gangrel, belly to belly,
and you know what could be next.
-[Lawler] Yes, yes. -Here it comes, folks,
the ankle lock.
Where is she?
-Where is she? -[referee] Come on.
-[tapping] -[Lawler] He will break.
-[bell ringing] -[crowd cheering]
Where is she?
[Cole] Uh-oh.
The Brood from behind.
Shamrock has the ankle lock on Gangrel.
Shamrock is trying to find out the whereabouts
of Stephanie McMahon and the Ministry.
The Brood has attacked Shamrock.
-[Lawler] Oh, no. -[woman screams]
I can't-- What's going on?
[Cole] The Brood has attacked Ken-- Wait a minute.
A blood bath on Shamrock.
[screams]
Where is she? Where is she?
She's in the basement.
-Where? -In the basement.
[screaming]
[Cole] Ken Shamrock just got Christian to say where Stephanie McMahon is.
Stephanie McMahon is in the basement.
Christian of The Brood says Stephanie McMahon is in the basement.
[Lawler] Get her. Get her, Ken. Get her.
Where?
[grunts]
[Cole] Folks, Ken Shamrock looking in the basement here
at the Continental Airlines Arena for Stephanie McMahon,
the daughter of WWE owner, Mr. McMahon, King,
who has been abducted by The Undertaker.
[Lawler] Got to find her. She's got to be down there somewhere.
[Cole] Ken Shamrock put an ankle lock
on Christian of The Brood after a blood bath,
and Christian said, "She's in the basement,
she's in the basement."
[Lawler] But I don't see her.
["Oh You Didn't Know" playing]
-[Road Dogg] Oh, you didn't know? -[crowd speaking along]
Your ass better call somebody.
[Cole] I'll tell you what, King, I guarantee that Ken Shamrock,
after that blood bath, will tear apart this arena
until he finds Stephanie McMahon.
You're damn right.
[Cole] Here comes the Intercontinental Champion.
It's me, it's me, it's the D-O-G-G.
[Cole] Road Dogg successfully defended the championship at WrestleMania.
[Road Dogg] I'm gonna take you on the 4-2-0.
You'll be a D-O-G-G hero.
[Cole] It was a four corner elimination match,
Road Dogg, Goldust, Ken Shamrock, Val Venis.
Road Dogg retained the Intercontinental Title,
but he puts it on the line again here live tonight.
-Cut my music. -[music ends]
Meadowlands, welcome to my Dogg House
where we do it all the time Doggy style.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages,
D-generation X proudly brings to you,
its WWE Intercontinental Champion of the world,
the Road Dogg Jessie James.
And I represent the New Age Outlaws.
If you ain't down with me
still being the IC champ, then I got two words for you.
[crowd shouting] Suck it!
[music playing]
[bell ringing]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall
for the World Wrestling Entertainment Intercontinental Championship.
Introducing the challenger,
being accompanied to the ring by the Blue Meanie,
from Hollywood, California, weighing in at 260 pounds,
Goldust.
[Cole] We told you about the four corner elimination match
last night at WrestleMania.
It was down to two men, Road Dogg and Goldust.
And King, did Ryan Shamrock,
as Goldust claimed, cost the Bizarre One the title?
Did she inadvertently trip Goldust?
Look to the left of your screen. I think she did.
[Lawler] Okay. Granted she did, but it was an accident.
And then look at Goldust. He took it out on Ryan Shamrock.
And nobody was happier than the Blue Meanie in the background.
He's always been jealous of Ryan.
[Cole] Blue Meanie was extremely jealous of Ryan Shamrock
during the relationship with Goldust.
The Blue Meanie considers himself Goldust's son.
And Goldust considers himself Blue Meanie's mother.
[Lawler] Now, how strange is that?
[Cole] Again, folks, Ken Shamrock continues his search
for Mr. McMahon's daughter, Stephanie,
in the basement of this building.
We have a camera with Shamrock.
And if he finds Stephanie McMahon, we'll cut away to it immediately,
but right now, Intercontinental Championship on the line.
It's Road Dogg against
the former two-time Intercontinental Champion, Goldust.
And also, don't forget, King,
the clock is ticking.
Somewhere around 35 minutes left for Mr. McMahon
-to get that custom-made belt… -Suck it!
…back here into this arena for Stone Cold.
[Lawler] Do you think that Mr. McMahon can think about that
Stone Cold Steve Austin's stupid belt right now?
[Cole] We also have X-Pac challenging Triple H.
One, two…
[Cole] There's Goldust now.
-[Lawler] Hey, look at this. -[Cole] Wait a minute.
-[Lawler] Oh, baby. -[Cole] Here comes Ryan.
[Lawler] Oh, she's dressed to kill.
Oh, baby.
-[Cole] Ryan Shamrock. -[Blue Meanie] No, no, no.
Get out of here. He doesn't want to hear it.
Get out of here.
Bye-bye.
[Cole] Blue Meanie playing marriage counselor
and telling Ryan Shamrock to take a hike.
[Lawler] Guess it's too late to be sorry.
[Cole] Road Dogg caught Goldust with a right hand,
standing dropkick now as Ryan Shamrock makes her way back.
Goldust in trouble in the corner
and the Intercontinental Champion, Road Dogg, with the momentum.
Blue Meanie pretty happy that Ryan and Goldust are in Splitsville.
[Lawler] Oh, he's an idiot.
Last night, he was standing behind Ryan Shamrock,
sticking his tongue out at her.
She's not the kind of girl you stick your tongue out at.
In maybe, but not out.
[Cole] Goldust now, left armbar on Road Dogg.
She's available.
Road Dogg now going to work on Goldust.
Intercontinental Championship on the line, folks.
We are live on Raw is War.
Road Dogg rolls him over, hooks the leg, and a kick-out.
[Lawler] Watch it.
[Cole] Again, folks, Ken Shamrock searching desperately
all throughout this building for Stephanie McMahon,
the daughter of Mr. McMahon, who's been abducted by The Undertaker
and the Ministry of Darkness.
And Christian of The Brood after having that ankle lock applied,
King, said, "She's in the basement. She's in the basement."
[Lawler] Oh, I just hope he was telling the truth.
I don't think he'd lie in a situation like that.
[Cole] Not with that ankle lock locked on.
Road Dogg in control now of Goldust.
There's a right hand.
We saw Stone Cold Steve Austin earlier on checking his watch.
The new WWE champion defeating The Rock at WrestleMania last night,
wants his custom-made rattlesnake skinned skull belt back.
[Lawler] Uh-oh. Look at this.
It's shattered dream time.
[Cole] He's gonna get himself disqualified here, King,
if he connects with this one.
The Intercontinental Title on the line.
And referee, Mike Chioda, just jumped in front of Goldust.
And Road Dogg now retaliates.
Goldust whipped into the corner with authority.
[Lawler] I don't know if you can see pants on Goldust--
Look at the Blue Meanie now.
[Cole] Blue Meanie on the apron, dragged into the ring by Road Dogg.
Blue Meanie though did his job distracting Goldust, now in control.
Reversal now, Goldust into the corner.
-Uh-oh, look out. -Oh, no, look out.
[Cole] That's 300 pounds into the bizarre one.
[Lawler] Oh, my God.
[Cole] Look out, King.
Road Dogg just delivered Bulldog, Meanie to Goldust down below.
Left hands now from the southpaw. Wait a minute.
Road Dogg, a little shake rattle and roll time, what a right hand.
[Lawler] But look at the Meanie out here.
This idiot has picked up-- He picked up the championship belt.
-What's he gonna do? -A cover now by Road Dogg, there's two.
And Goldust gets that left shoulder up, intercontinental title on the line.
[Lawler] Watch this idiot, Meanie.
[Cole] Road Dogg off the ropes, Goldust catches him with a right hand.
Look out now, snapped him up.
Road Dogg's ears ringing after that one.
Curtain call. Curtain call on the way.
Road Dogg in trouble, he reversed it.
Road Dogg with a great counter.
And Meanie just hit Goldust with the belt.
-[Lawler] I knew it, I told you. -The referee didn't see it.
[Lawler] I saw it coming.
[Cole] Oh, hooks the leg, it can't be.
-[bell rings] -Goldust is a three-time
Intercontinental Champion.
[announcer] Here is your winner and the new
World Wrestling Entertainment Intercontinental Champion,
Goldust.
[Lawler] I think mommy just made the Meanie happy.
What did I just say?
[Cole] The Blue Meanie just clocked Goldust with the title--
I should say clocked Road Dogg with the title.
And Goldust is the new Intercontinental Champion.
I got something burning right here.
It's time to get it off my chest.
[Cole] Uh-oh.
You see this right here?
-It's come home. -[Cole] What?
Oh, what a raging climax that was.
Oh, and those for you who didn't believe
who didn't dream…
you look.
I now know the one thing that was missing.
I now know who I am.
And very soon…
you will know too.
Very soon.
And you will never ever forget
the name of…
[inhales deeply]
[exhales sharply]
Goldust.
[Cole] What in the world is he talking about?
[Lawler] I'm not-- I'm not even gonna ignore that.
I don't know.
[Cole] Goldust is the Intercontinental Champion.
[Lawler] Uh-oh, listen.
Stephanie, Stephanie, whoa, it's okay. It's me.
It's okay.
[Cole] There's Stephanie McMahon.
Oh, my God.
[Lawler] What the hell?
[Cole] What have they done to her?
-Found her. -Are you okay? Huh?
-Are you okay? Are you sure? -[Stephanie sobbing] I'm fine.
Look at me. Come on, what did they do to you?
What did they-- What did they do?
-Huh? -[sobbing]
Those rotten… Kenny thank you.
-What do you want me to do? -Thank you.
Those rotten…
[music playing]
[Cole] King, what the hell did The Undertaker do to Stephanie McMahon?
[Lawler] I don't know, but I'll tell you this, those rotten--
[bell ringing]
They're gonna pay for it, I guarantee you. They'll pay for it.
[announcer] …the World Wrestling Entertainment Tag Team Championship.
Making their way to the ring being accompanied by Debra,
at a combined weight of 456 pounds,
they are the World Wrestling Entertainment Tag Team Champions,
Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett.
[Cole] King, I'll tell you,
The Undertaker and the Ministry of Darkness
have taken this psychological war,
these mind games with Mr. McMahon way too far.
What they did to Stephanie McMahon was heinous.
-It was unjustified, it was uncalled for. -[Lawler] Oh, baby.
[Cole] Well, folks, Jeff Jarrett Owen Hart, ready for action,
and we can tell you this, WWE Backlash, in your house
is presented by the motor oil that provides maximum protection,
Castrol GTX. Drive hard.
Backlash this Sunday night, April 25th from the Civic Center
in Providence, Rhode Island.
[Lawler] Well, I feel better now, Michael, knowing that Stephanie is safe.
["What a Rush" playing]
[Cole] Whoa!
[announcer] And the challengers being accompanied to the ring
by Paul Ellering, from Chicago, Illinois,
at a combined weight of 574 pounds,
Animal and Hawk, The Legion of…
[Cole] Here we go now.
-[bell ringing] -Tag Team titles on the line.
Jeff Jarrett, Owen Hart against the former WWE Tag Team champions,
The Legion of Doom.
Here we go now, whipped into the ropes.
The double team by Animal and Hawk.
And King, I'll tell you what,
The Legion of Doom has been reunited with their longtime manager,
Paul Ellering.
We saw him last week on Raw, extremely upset.
[both] Oh!
[Cole] Here's a cover now by Animal and kick-out.
With a mockery, the farce of the associates,
Brisco and Patterson, donning Legion of Doom makeup,
pretending to be the LOD.
[Lawler] What's the matter with these guys?
They got no sense of humor, that was just… that was Shane's…
-[crowd cheering] -Oh, no.
They're calling over the nuggets.
That was just Shane McMahon's idea of a little joke.
These guys didn't have to take it so seriously and get hot about it.
[Cole] Animal whipped off the ropes now, shot to the back,
Owen Hart in trouble, going high, look at the strength of Animal.
Tremendous strength. And there's a suplex on Owen.
[Lawler] They certainly got no reason to take it out on Owen and Jeff.
[Cole] Cover now. Hook of the leg and a kick-out.
[Lawler] Look at pretty Debra over there, she's worried to death.
[Cole] Tag Team championship on the line.
Owen Hart now reversal, Animal whipped into the ropes.
And Jeff Jarrett with a knee from behind and he pays for it.
And there's a spinning heel kick by Owen Hart.
[Lawler] Yes, beautiful move.
[Cole] Last night at WrestleMania,
Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett successfully defending the Tag Team titles
against D'Lo Brown and Test who won that big Battle Royal
on Sunday Night Heat.
And there's Jeff Jarrett now,
great teamwork for Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett,
double elbow, as Debra looks on and nods her approval.
[Lawler] That'll put a smile on that pretty face.
-[Cole] King. -What?
[Cole] Jeff Jarrett now off the ropes, Animal in trouble.
-[Lawler] Yes. -And there we go.
-King, the clock's ticking. -Oh, please.
[Cole] Stone Cold Steve Austin's giving Mr. McMahon
-about 20 minutes to get his belt here. -I know that Stone Cold Steve Austin's
gonna be back out here in a few minutes
expecting his custom-made championship belt.
And I guess it's on its way.
[Cole] And, folks, it's been a bad 24 hours for D-generation X.
Road Dogg lost the Intercontinental Championship.
"Badd Ass" Billy Gunn lost to The Rock and X-Pac had his longtime friend--
Here's a cover now, and a save by Jeff Jarrett.
X-Pac had his longtime friend, Triple H, turned his back on him at WrestleMania.
-[Lawler] Watch it, Jeff. -But X-Pac takes on Triple H tonight.
And here comes the Doomsday Device.
We've got new Tag Team champions right here.
-[Lawler] No, no, no, no. -Hawk connects.
[crowd cheering]
Animal hooks the leg, and the referee is distracted.
We've got new champions.
[Lawler] And look Ellering is after-- He's so stupid. He's after Debra.
[Cole] Owen Hart with a guitar into the head of Animal.
[Lawler] I think that was Jeff Jarrett if I'm not mistaken.
-[bell rings] -[Cole] Owen with the cover,
Jeff Jarrett with the guitar,
and the Tag Team champions retain the titles.
[announcer] …still World Wrestling Entertainment Tag Team champions,
Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett.
[Cole] The Legion of Doom had this match won, King.
Doomsday Device on Owen Hart,
Jeff Jarrett clocked Animal with a guitar.
Owen Hart covered him and the tag champs retain the titles.
[Lawler] Oh, look at Debra.
What an asset she is to that team.
[Cole] Debra certainly has brought cohesion to Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett.
[Lawler] Let's take one more look at this.
What you do you think The Legion of Doom thought about that?
Jeff Jarrett played a nice little tune on the head of Animal.
[Cole] Guitar to the head, Owen Hart takes advantage with a cover.
And the tag champ remain WWE--
And there he is, Stone Cold looking at his watch.
The countdown continues 20 minutes and counting
for that custom-made belt to make it
from Greenwich to the Continental Airlines Arena.
There it is, it's arrived.
King, that's Stone Cold's custom-made belt, it's here.
[Lawler] Thank goodness.
You're all right.
I want to thank-- I want to thank everyone of you guys.
-[knock on door] -I want to thank you, Kenny.
-[Shane] Who is it? -I wanna thank you.
[man] Mr. McMahon, I have the belt.
-[Shane] Got it, thanks. -All right. That'll do, thank you.
I want to thank every one of you.
Kenny, I'll always, always be indebted to you, always.
Here you go, here's Austin's… Here's Austin's belt.
I don't give a damn about Austin's belt, Shane.
This night is over, okay?
In terms of trauma,
in terms of what's happened to your baby sister, this night is over.
Let's just end it, okay?
Let's just end this.
What I want you to do is go take this championship belt
and give it to Austin, wherever he is.
If he's in his locker room, just give it to him,
just end this night, just end this night.
Your family has been through enough, okay?
And all I'm gonna do now is--
Stephanie, come on, baby.
-Are you okay? -Mm-hmm. I'm okay.
I'm gonna take your baby sister home, all right?
And again, thank you.
-No problem. -Thank you so much, thank you.
-Come on, guys. -Yes, sir.
-We'll take care of her. -[Mr. McMahon] Just give it to him, Shane.
You want me to give him the title?
-Ken. -What's that?
This is what we're gonna do, okay?
Go get The Rock. This night is over.
After what they did to my sister, go get The Rock,
-you go get the champ and bring him back. -Okay.
This night is over, huh? I don't think so.
Hurry up!

[bell ringing]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Making his way to the ring, from Minneapolis, Minnesota,
weighing in at 223 pounds, DX member, X-Pac.
[Lawler] Well, Michael, the reason I did not talk
is because I don't know what you say about what I just saw.
I mean, Vince McMahon without a doubt told Shane
to deliver that belt to Stone Cold and he's refusing.
["No Chance in Hell" playing]
[announcer] And his opponent being accompanied to the ring
by the European champion, Shane McMahon,
and the ninth wonder of the world, Chyna,
from Greenwich, Connecticut, weighing in at 260 pounds,
corporation member, Triple H.
[Cole] I never thought I would see the day that Triple H would walk
into an arena with Corporation music playing
and flanked by Shane McMahon.
[Lawler] You got to admit it, it sounds mighty good.
Looks pretty good too.
[Cole] This is an emotional battle, folks, a tale of two longtime friends.
One Triple H turning on the other,
X-Pac, last night at WrestleMania.
X-Pac wants Triple H and he wants him bad.
-[bell rings] -And here we go now.
Triple H and X-Pac hammering away at each other, folks.
D-generation X exploded last night,
but X-Pac said earlier on this evening
that X-Pac and the New Age Outlaws will carry on the DX torch, the tradition.
[Lawler] Let me just say this,
if Triple H puts an end to X-Pac right here,
I would say that puts an end to DX,
because then all you got left is-- Oh!
All you have left are just the New Age Outlaws.
[Cole] Martial arts expert, spinning heel kick from X-Pac,
chops now to the chest.
Triple H now whipped into the ropes,
X-Pac misses with a right hand, and then a knee to the face by Triple H.
[Lawler] Very, very nice.
[Cole] So, I can assume that Triple H
did what Chyna did, join the Corporation for the money.
[Lawler] Duh.
-[Cole] You see Chyna at ringside. -Look at that outfit.
What do you think that cost? Brand new.
[Cole] Flanked by McMahon and, King…
-[Lawler] What? -I wonder if Shane McMahon
delivered the custom-made belt to Stone Cold Steve Austin.
[Lawler] Uh…
-I just know that… -Oh!
-…his father, Mr. McMahon told him to. -Oh.
Well, Shane doesn't have it with him at ringside, so…
I guess Stone Cold's got his wish.
[Lawler] Shane's a good boy.
[Cole] X-Pac into the corner now, nobody home.
-Triple H rolls out of the way. -[Lawler laughs]
[Cole] Folks, it has been an unreal evening.
And Triple H connects with a clothesline.
New Intercontinental Champion, Goldust,
The Big Show, Paul Wight saying the Corporation
will never be the same sending a message
and the abduction of Stephanie McMahon,
Mr. McMahon's daughter by The Undertaker and the Ministry.
Oh.
[Lawler] And I can imagine, there's some people tuning in right now
saying, "What's wrong with this picture?"
Former friends if you like to call them, Triple H and X-Pac--
X-Punk, now at each other's throats.
There's words to a good song that I like called--
The words go something like this,
"Lovers leave and friends will let you down."
And, you know, a friend in need is a pest.
[Cole] Oh, face buster into the knee.
[Lawler] Triple H didn't need a friend like X-Punk.
[Cole] It was a year ago tonight, King,
that Triple H brought X-Pac back.
Brought him back to help rejuvenate,
revitalize the new generation of D-generation X.
[Lawler] Okay, okay. He served his purpose.
[Cole] And Triple H turned him--
Turned on his longtime friend last night at WrestleMania
to help Shane McMahon.
[crowd cheering]
Shane McMahon met X-Pac for the European Championship.
And Triple H turned on X-Pac to help Shane keep that title.
And I'll tell you, there's no quit in X-Pac.
-[Lawler] Oh! -What a kick,
what a spinning heel kick.
Come on!
[Lawler] I'm just worried about--
I'm just worried about the fact that I see Shane McMahon over there…
-[Cole] Oh. -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] …and I just don't think
he had time to take that championship belt back to Stone Cold Steve Austin.
[Cole] Well, he better have.
[Lawler] I think we can expect to see Stone Cold Steve Austin out here
and maybe expect that belt to be delivered to him right here
in the center of the ring.
[Cole] And where's the belt if Shane doesn't have it?
-And here's X-Pac now. -Look at Shane.
[Cole] Shane grabbed the leg from behind.
-[Lawler] Watch it. -And X-Pac's going after Shane.
[Lawler] Oh, look at the athleticism of Shane.
[Cole] Shane back into the ring again, X-Pac still on him.
And Chyna just caught X-Pac with a clothesline, it's three-on-one.
[Lawler] Oh, baby.
-Look at the athleticism of Chyna. -[bell dings]
[Cole] Referee calls for the bell. This will be a disqualification, folks,
but it doesn't matter.
Triple H hammering away now on X-Pac.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Watch this. Oh.
[Cole] Oh. Low blow by Chyna, insult to injury.
[crowd cheering]
-Those little… -[bell dinging]
…little X-Pacs will never be the same, will they?
-Oh, no. Not this. -What?
[Cole] Of course, they're… It's the pedigree.
-[Lawler] Yes. Yes! -It's got to be the damn pedigree.
[Lawler] Yes!
-[Cole] Oh, wait. -[crowd cheering]
-["Slow Chemical" playing] -[Lawler] What-- Oh, no.
[Cole] Uh-oh.
King, you know what they say, payback is a…
[Lawler] They say paybacks are hell.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler screams]
[Cole] Folks, last night at WrestleMania,
Kane was emotionally scarred
when Chyna turned her back on Kane to help Triple H.
And Kane wants to settle a score right now tonight live.
[Lawler] Take a look at this, I don't think Triple H is gonna back off.
[Cole] King, Kane trusted Chyna.
He developed an emotional bond with her.
[both] Oh.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Look at Shane. Look at Shane. How brave is he?
[Cole] What the heck is he thinking about?
[crowd cheering]
Look out.
Triple H now from behind and Kane…
[crowd cheering]
…with a right hand and there's Chyna.
Wait.
Chyna trying to persuade Kane.
Shane McMahon just gave Triple H a chair.
Oh, no!
[Lawler] That's why they call him the Big Red Retard.
[Cole] The Corporation again laid out X-Pac.
[Lawler] Wait, what is he saying?
[Cole] And Kane… Don't come over here.
-What are you doing? -He's standing right up.
-[Cole] Kane just set up… -He's standing right up…
[Cole] He took a chair to the face.
And he sat back up, the chair is standing.
And Kane sat back up.
[Lawler] Stay down, Shane.
-Stay down. -Shane McMahon hiding behind us,
as Kane goes after Triple H.
[Cole] We'll block him.
-[Lawler] Block him? You block him. -I will.
[Lawler] Whoo!
[Cole] Kane just sat up after a chair to the face.
Now, what's Shane doing?
[Lawler] Anything he wants.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] He is the European champion.
He is the co-owner of this company.
[Lawler] And because of that, he deserves a lot of respect.
So let's show him some.
Hey, Austin.
[Lawler] Uh-oh.
My name is Shane McMahon.
I'm not Vince McMahon.
We're doing things tonight Shane McMahon style.
[Cole] Oh, no.
A tragedy happened with my sister.
Let me tell you something, Austin, I'm a champion just like you.
[Lawler] Huh? Please.
If you want your precious Stone Cold WWE championship belt,
it won't be hard to find,
because it is around the waist of the most electrifying man…
-[Cole] Huh? -[Lawler] What?
…in sports entertainment today,
the Corporate Champion,
the People's Champion,
give it up for The Rock.
-[Lawler] What? -["Do You Smell" playing]
[Lawler] Around The Rock's waist?
-[Cole] King, there it is. -Yes.
[Cole] King, this isn't a good sign,
The Rock's with-- That's Stone Cold's belt.
Stone Cold had that custom-made.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Yeah. There he is, the great one.
Look at the skull, look at that skull on the…
-[Cole] King, do you understand-- -…on that championship belt.
What? What the heck is The Rock thinking about?
What could he be possibly be thinking about?
[Lawler] What's he thinking about?
He's thinking about the fact that he should still be the WWE champion.
[Cole] That belt was made for Stone Cold,
the smoking skull is lined with rattlesnake skin.
Stone Cold told Mr. McMahon
he wanted it back in his hands tonight.
The Rock's not the champion. The Rock was defeated by Stone Cold
at WrestleMania, one-two-three fair and square.
[Lawler] Know your role and shut your mouth.
Let's look at The Rock.
His millions and millions of fans that idolize The Rock
know that he's the true champion.
[Cole] I would love to be a fly on the wall in Stone Cold's locker room.
[Lawler] You're about to be a fly out here and get swatted, because…
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
All right. Michael, you can't tell these people to shut up.
[Cole] Why? They're voicing their true feelings.
[Lawler] Rocky does not suck.
Last night, the entire world
witnessed The Rock lay the SmackDown
on Stone Cold Steve Austin's candy ass.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] I saw it.
So The Rock says he's got to have to give credit
where credit is due, because…
Well, you know what, hey, piss on that,
because as far as where The Rock is concerned,
there ain't nobody, and The Rock means…
[crowd chanting]
Don't do that.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Lay the SmackDown on them, if you have to, Rock.
Hey, I'll tell you what?
Stone Cold Steve Austin, you come out here, and you run your mouth.
You hold up that WWE title.
You want this piece of trash you call a title.
But I'll tell you what, last night, yeah, The Rock walked in the WWE champ.
He left not the WWE champ,
but it obviously took not one, but two stunners to beat The Rock.
[Lawler] I told you he kicked out of a stunner.
-["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing] -Uh-oh.
Let's go. Let's get out of here.
-[Cole] I'm not going anywhere… -Let's leave. Let's leave.
-[Cole] Look out. -Let's leave.
[Cole] The Rattlesnake protects his territory.
Here we go now, Rock hammering away on Austin.
Austin has Rock.
And Austin and Rock going at it, right hands,
right hands by Austin.
[Lawler] I told you we should leave!
[Cole] The Rattlesnake into the announce table.
[Lawler] Look out.
They've gone crazy.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Stone Cold's lost it.
Stone Cold has lost it, but The Rock now in control.
And Shane McMahon cheers him on.
And there goes Shane, a stunner.
Stunner to Shane.
And The Rock with a clothesline.
[Cole] King, the Rattlesnake protects his territory.
Stone Cold came out to protect his territory and Rock now in control.
[Lawler] When are you gonna listen to me? I told you we should leave.
[Cole] You were right.
The Rock with Stone Cold's belt.
Second time tonight, Stone Cold with a belt to his face.
[Lawler] Good.
Shane is down.
[Cole] Shane suffered the stunner.
The Rock now hammering away on Austin.
-Wait a minute. -What?
[Cole] Here's Triple H.
[Lawler] Thank goodness.
[Cole] Triple H from the Corporation now hammering away on Austin.
-Here comes Shamrock. -Oh, great.
[Cole] Here comes the rest of the Corporation.
The Corporation beating the hell out of Stone Cold.
[Lawler] However, Stone Cold claimed he was gonna stomp a mud hole
in Mr. McMahon and walk it dry.
Well, you look like mud right now. that's what your name is, Mud Austin.
[Cole] A mud hole?
The Rock hammering away into the kidneys of Austin.
[Lawler] Shane.
[Cole] Chyna helping Shane away.
Shamrock's getting in there now, pounding away on Austin.
-[Lawler] Oh, look at that. -It's four-on-one, the champ.
Ken Shamrock now.
-Wait a minute. Wait a minute. -Uh-oh.
-[Cole] Seven feet, 500 pounds. -Wait a minute.
[Cole] Show time for The Big Show.
-[Lawler] Oh, my gosh. -The Big Show.
[Lawler] My gosh. Look out.
[Cole] The Big Show is cleaning house.
-[Lawler] Look at those headbutts. -He said he wanted to send
a message to the Corporation.
-He's doing it in a big way. -[Lawler] Oh!
[Cole] Paul Wight and Austin cleaning the ring of the Corporation.
-[Lawler] Look out! -Stunner on Shamrock.
[crowd cheering]
Paul Wight now, facebuster on Test.
Stone Cold and The Big Show have cleaned house.
-["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing] -[Lawler] They'll be back. Look out.
-Is that Triple H? -[Cole] Well, I'll tell you what,
the Corporation has stepped into the Rattlesnake's den.
[Lawler screams]
[Cole] The Corporation has stepped into The Big Show.
-Rattlesnake… -Oh.
[rock music playing]
-[crowd cheering] -['I Won't Do What You Tell Me" continues]
Just like I said it last night.
[music stops]
I went to damn Philadelphia, burned down the SmackDown hotel.
So why don't you come out here right now
if you want your head and leave your little belt behind,
come out here and drink your cold beer with Stone Cold Steve Austin
and let bygones be bygones?
[crowd cheering]
It was a hell of a fight, it was a hell of a match.
I'm giving you an invitation, son, to come drink your damn beer.
If you want The Rock and Stone Cold to drink a beer,
give me a "hell yeah."
[crowd shouts] Hell yeah!
What about that chump who's right there?
