[intro music playing]
Let me set it up for you, okay? I care about Stephanie,
-I care about her safety. -Of course.
And her welfare. As far as the show is concerned I don't give a damn.
[Shane McMahon] I'm not Vince McMahon,
-we're doing things Shane McMahon style. -[Jerry Lawler] I like Shane in charge.
[Shane] Get a good shot of that.
Once you get it locked up, I want you to put it up on that Titan Tron.
[Steve Austin] You put that on the Titan Tron again,
it's going to cost the whole McMahon family a lot of money.
[Michael Cole] The Titan Tron is being pulled down by the Big Show.
We need help out here.
Stone Cold is tearing a hole in the Titan Tron.
He can't do that.
[Lawler] Mr. McMahon's world is falling apart in front of our eyes.
[The Undertaker] McMahon, there will be a sacrifice.
[Vince] Hello?
-What the hell? -[Stephanie] Dad!
[all clamoring]
[Lawler] The Undertaker is believing in his character.
[The Undertaker] Stephanie, it's time that she comes home.
[Ross] The Undertaker sending a message to Mr. McMahon.
[Lawler] Listen to her screaming. Come on, put her down.
-You stay away from Stephanie, you evil… -[explosion]
[Lawler] Mr. McMahon's world is falling apart in front of our eyes.
I think everybody's going to be fine with it.
It's the Detroit's finest, okay?
So just settle down and enjoy the show.
I mean, this audience is going to be wild.
It's going to be a hoot, and the broadcast should be a fantastic broadcast.
-So just settle down. You'll be fine. -As long as I'm with you, Dad.
Okay.

[Jim Ross] The show is sold out here in Detroit.
And you've got to wonder what will Shane McMahon's
major announcement be here tonight.
Hi everybody, I'm Jim Ross, alongside The King, Jerry Lawler,
and King, what a night for the fans to be with us here on Raw.
[Lawler] It's going to be big!

[Ross] Well, we might not have to wait.
[announcer] …one of the owners of World Wrestling Entertainment,
-Shane McMahon. -[Lawler] Yeah.
[Ross] What an assemblage of humanity The Corporation is.
And I was about to say, King, that we might not have to wait much longer
to find out what Shane McMahon has on his mind tonight.
[Lawler] I can tell you it's going to be big.
You know, let's face it, this kid Shane,
I said it before, I like it when he's in charge.
The kid is a mover, he's a shaker.
♪ No chance ♪
[Ross] There are the rumors happening
that whatever Shane has to say could shake the foundation of this very company.
-[Lawler] Really? -[Ross] But again, it's only a rumor.
[Lawler] Where'd you hear that?
[Ross] I've got a gander around today in the locker room area.
There's a couple of interesting things about you, too,
-but we won't get into here. -[Lawler] Hey, hey, hey. The Rock!
[crowd chanting] Asshole! Asshole! Asshole!
-[Ross] Fans with a familiar chant. -What's up, Detroit?
Boy, are you guys privileged, each and every one of you here
in the audience and everyone in television land.
I mean, check this out.
Check out the greatest assembly of athletic talent ever created here
in World Wrestling Entertainment.
[Lawler] Man, look at it.
And it's all under the corporate umbrella.
Two more individuals I need to announce.
Now, they haven't had the privileged lives as most of you have ever had.
But what I'd like to do is introduce you to two members from the mean streets
of Greenwich, Connecticut.
Give it up one time for Rodney
and Pete Gas, the Mean Street Posse.
Ah, yes!
Oh.
-[Ross] He's irate, it would seem. -[Shane] What are you doing?
You know…
When your dad put The Corporation together, he told me it was going to be
like a family, where we looked after each other.
Well, I want an explanation, Shane.
Where were you and The Corporation when my sister was abducted
-and I was put in the back of a truck? -Whoa, whoa,
easy, easy, easy, easy.
[Ross] Uh-oh, good question.
Where are the answers?
-[Lawler] Shamrock's a troublemaker. -Okay, okay.
Calm down. It's okay. It's okay.
Kenny, I promise you, you'll get your explanation tonight.
But you have to understand something.
I empathize with what you're going through.
Ken, it's me.
We're in the same boat. Your sister, Ryan.
My sister, Stephanie.
It all revolves around one man, and that's the Undertaker.
Don't freak out on me, Ken. I feel your pain.
And I have to take this opportunity, and I have to talk to my sister.
Stephanie, I know you're back there, and I know you're safe with Dad.
That's it.
I'm asking you, please, to come down here.
Stephanie, please come down here. I need you.
-Shane doesn't need you, sit down. -Well, he seems to need me.
Shane doesn't need you.
Oh, come on, Dad, you guys are with me, right?
I'm safe. Shane wouldn't put me in jeopardy.
Come on.
I don't think this is a very good idea, but let's go all together,
-all of us together. All right? -Okay.
I don't know what he's up to.
Stay with me.
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
[Ross] Well, apparently Mr. McMahon and…
Get in closer, if you would.
-I don't know what this is about. -[Ross] A little strange here.
[Lawler] They need to watch Mr. McMahon.
The Undertaker could be anywhere. The Ministry.
[Vince] You stay with me, Stephanie.
[Ross] Well, Shane has summoned out his little sister and his father.
[Lawler] I don't know if that's a good idea.
They were safe back there in Mr. McMahon's dressing room.
They had all the security, the police.
[Ross] Could this have something to do with the major announcement
that Shane was going to make tonight?
[Shane] That's it, Steph. It's okay.
It's okay. Come on down.
-[Lawler] She's safe. -[Shane] You're safe.
[Ross] She has that beautiful smile on her face.
You're safe.
[Ross] I would hope she's safe with the Corporation in the ring.
Some of Detroit's finest accompanying Stephanie and Vince.
[Lawler] Don't worry about them.
As long as she's by Mr. McMahon's side, she's safe.
Her father. It's the only place she's safe.
[crowd chanting] Asshole! Asshole! Asshole!
I don't know what this is about, but it better be damn good.
What is it, some sort of publicity stunt?
You put your sister in harm's way by asking her to come out here?
This better be damn good. What are you up to, Shane?
What am I up to?
Maybe you're asking me what my priorities are?
Dad, priorities, let's talk about priorities for a second,
because yours are out of whack.
Where are your priorities?
The only priority you have is you focused your whole world
around Stephanie, daddy's little girl.
That's all you continue to focus on, daddy's little girl.
That's all you care about.
You said you don't give a damn about The Corporation.
No.
Let's talk about priorities yet again.
Let's check this out. Look at Jim Ross down here.
Returns to Raw.
Jim Ross, the guy can barely speak and you're putting him out here?
You know what, Jim?
I'd fire you right here on the spot, but I got another problem,
'cause your cohort, Michael Cole, sucks just as bad.
Aren't you, uh…
Aren't you getting just a little bit out of line?
I don't think I'm getting out of line at all.
You know what? I'm talking about someone's getting fired here tonight,
matter of fact, and it's about 30 years in the making.
I have no room in the new corporation. Check out the youth.
Check out the exuberance. Check that out one time.
There's no room for the geriatric.
There's no room in The Corporation for the old.
The only room in The Corporation…
[crowd chanting] Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!
Let me tell you one thing.
You can take loyalty, as you so call it, and flush it down the toilet.
Because there is no room in my corporation for either of you two, Pat and Jerry.
Read my lips. You are both fired.
-[Lawler] What? -[Ross] What?
Oh, oh.
Hey, what more didn't you understand? You are both fired.
Now take it to the back, or I'll have some of
The Corporation members bring it down there for you.
Let's go.
-[Lawler] What's he doing, JR? -[Ross] Like him or not, that's not right.
-[Lawler] Pete Gas. -To the back.
Your services are no longer needed. Goodbye.
[Lawler] How humiliating.
So let me get this straight now.
I've got it.
You're on some sort of power trip.
Is that it, Shane?
I'm on a power trip. That brings me to a great point.
Matter of fact, the whole point. Where is your power, Dad?
Where is your power trip?
Where is the Vince McMahon that we all know?
Where is the most ruthless human being to ever walk the planet?
You always taught me, "Hey, climb over everybody.
It doesn't matter because you're climbing that ladder and you're never coming down.
Do anything at all costs to get ahead in this world."
Dad, where are the balls the size of grapefruits?
That's what I want to know.
[Lawler] Oh.
Oh, I'm still the same man.
And then some.
It's just that I do have my priorities straight.
And right now, my priority is simply
your sister, my daughter's welfare.
I'm going to take Stephanie and go home.
Here you go.
Oh, I'm not… Hey, hey, I'm not done talking to you.
-Hey, I'm not done talking to you yet. -[Lawler] Uh-oh.
What do you think you are?
[Ross] Easy now.
Let me tell you something.
This power trip you're on, if you want true power,
you have to earn it, and you have to earn it with respect.
Respect this.
-[Lawler] Oh! What? -[Ross] Good God.
-[Lawler] What? -[Ross] He just slapped his own father.
[Lawler] Oh, my God.
-Please, please. -[Ross] This is horrendous.
Please, please, please…
Please come.
[Ross] I can't believe it.
Vince is walking away.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where are you going?
Are you going home with your precious daughter?
Daddy's little girl?
That's it.
Tuck your tail between your legs and get it to the back and go home.
Go ahead.
Oh, you know what?
Hey!
You're not my father anymore.
[Ross] Oh, come on, Shane.
-That's your dad. -That's right, dad.
You're not my father. You're not my dad anymore.
Matter of fact, you're not even Mr. McMahon to me anymore.
You have not my respect.
You are simply known from now on as Vince.
[Ross] Man, this is shocking.
Shamrock is…
I don't think Shamrock's too pleased with the proceedings, King.
[indistinct argument]
[Lawler] I… I am in shock.
Are you getting righteous on me, Ken?
[indistinct conversation]
[Ross] Oh, look at this.
Whoa!
-Shamrock is showing his loyalty. -[Shane] Where you going, Shamrock?
-[Ross] To Mr. McMahon. -[Shane] Hey, Kenny!
Hey, Kenny! Is this the way you want it?
You want to walk out on me and The Corporation?
Get your ass out of here.
-["No Chance In Hell" playing] -♪ No chance ♪
[Ross] What a volatile way to start off Raw.
Shane McMahon has taken over The Corporation
and totally disrespected his own father.
[Lawler] I still cannot believe it.
Shane McMahon slaps his father Vince right in the face.
[Ross] My God, I can't--
This is a total act of disrespect. This kid is drunk on power.
The Women's Big Matchup is next, man.
What a shocking way to start off Raw here tonight.
Vince McMahon talking to his son Shane about how you acquire power.
And you have to earn it with respect.
Respect this.
[Ross] King, I could not believe that. I still can't believe it.
Respect this.
[Ross] Well, you heard it right there. The slap heard around WWE.
Respect this.
[Lawler] Wow.
I can't believe that Mr. McMahon just stood there and he took it like a man.
That's all there is to it.
This is the way.
Wait a minute before we go. Ken, thank you for your loyalty.
-I appreciate that and I respect it. -I appreciate it.
-Okay, we're all set now. -Sure.
Okay, we're cool.
-Thank you, Kenny. -Good luck.
-Thank you. -All right, appreciate it.
Guys, if you would, please just come with me.
Escort Stephanie out.
[Ross] And I can't believe what we're seeing.
-Vince McMahon is leaving his own event. -All right, Stephanie.
[Lawler] This has got to be a first.
Let's get the hell out of here. I want this night over with.
Let's go. Driver, please. Thank you.
-Cameras are in place. Showtime. -Showtime?
Well, The Rock's going to go out for a little bit of fresh air.

Okay, here's what's up.
["Wild Cat" playing]
[Lawler] JR, I'm telling ya, I'm still in shock.
-[bell rings] -Uh-oh, this might bring me around.
[announcer] The following four corners match is scheduled for
one fall and it is for the World Wrestling Entertainment
Women's Championship.
Introducing first, making her way to the ring,
she is the World Wrestling Entertainment Women's Champion, Sable!
[Lawler] Whoo-wee!
[Ross] Well, this will be a first for WWE.
We've already seen some firsts here tonight, King.
-Shane McMahon huddling with his troops. -[Lawler] Take a look at that, JR.
[Ross] And Nicole Bass.
She debuted with, at WrestleMania, did this Amazon.
She's got to be 6'3", 230 or 240 pounds.
[Lawler] She's got muscles in places most women don't even have places.
[Ross] Frequent guest of the Howard Stern Show is Nicole Bass.
This is for all the women who want to be me
-and for all the men who come to see me. -[Lawler] Whoo!
-That's me, baby! -[Ross] Sable's a little full of herself.
-Are you boys ready for the grind? -[Lawler] Oh, yes!
The grind! Oh, my gosh.
["Full Out" playing]
Oh.
Boy.
We got the grind and a little shake thrown in extra.
[Ross] I saw it.
[announcer] And the challenger is first making her way to the ring, Tori.
[Ross] This is a first for WWE.
Four women in a four-corners matchup for the women's title, right here,
live in Detroit.
And making her way to the ring, Ivory!
Shane McMahon has taken over The Corporation.
He has humiliated and insulted his own father.
And you know, King, it is written, "Honor thy father."
And I believe in that. I believe in it to the bottom of my heart.
It is a sad day for the McMahon family.
[Lawler] I always knew growing up, if I ever laid a finger on
either my father or my mother, they brought me into the world,
they would have taken me out too.
I can't believe that it has to be because of Stephanie that Mr. McMahon took that.
[Ross] Well, this should be a most interesting matchup.
Look at the size of Nicole Bass.
Jackie, she's ready to get it on here with Sable, the women's title on the line.
Yeah, I got… [grunts]
-[Lawler] Oh, look at that! Whoa! -[Ross] Oh, look out here.
-[Lawler] Is she in the match now? -[Ross] Oh, one-handed chokeslam!
-[Lawler] My gosh! -[Ross] By this Amazon!
-[all clamoring] -You got a problem, huh?
[Ross] Nicole Bass is not even in this matchup.
And what is her relationship with Sable?
-Do you got a problem? -[speaking indistinctly]
-King, look at the size of Nicole Bass. -[Lawler] She's huge, but look at Ivory.
Ah!
[Ross] Nicole Bass is destroying everything in her sight.
[Lawler] Oh, no, oh, man!
Do you have a problem?
[Ross] This monster has destroyed all the opposition for Sable,
the first person to score pinfall, wins the matchup.
I'm not sure the match is even going to be able to start here.
[Lawler] There's nobody left in the ring except, except Sable and Nicole Bass.
Oh, having another grind.
That's good enough for me.
[Ross] What is the story with Nicole Bass and Sable?
[Lawler] Wow.
[crowd cheering]
Wow.
-[Ross] I'll tell you what, this… -["Wild Cat" playing]
Apparently, Nicole is not going to allow this match to even start.
-[Lawler] What'd you call her, JR? Amazon? -[Ross] She's an Amazon, man.
She's 6'3". She's gotta be 230 or 240 pounds of muscle.
Look at this.
You got a problem!
You got a problem.
[Lawler] I think you're the problem solver.
You want to talk to me about it.
Come on.
-[Ross] That's a scary woman. -[Lawler] Uh-oh.
She looks pretty good now.
[Ross] Tell you what, I--
["The Purity of Evil Ministry" playing]
Oh, that's The Undertaker. Unmistakably.
Uh-oh, and we do not have The Undertaker scheduled to come out here now.
[Lawler] Watch your back, JR.
[Ross] Whatever ain't nailed down-- And, look…
McMahon, you can run and you can hide,
but, you know, It's only a matter of time
that your precious daughter, Stephanie,
she will be mine.
It is her destiny.
But tonight, McMahon, in Stephanie's absence,
another innocent victim will be sacrificed before the Lord of Darkness.
And you know, McMahon,
There's only one person to blame. Only one person to be held responsible.
And that is you.
[Ross] When is this unnecessary carnage going to end with The Undertaker?
Why are so many innocent people being punished?
-[music stops] -Wow.
I just don't understand this, King.
Already Shane McMahon has taken over the management,
the control of The Corporation.
And now The Undertaker has promised another sacrifice here tonight.
And yeah, and why? When's this gonna end?
Who else is gonna get it here tonight?
Plus, the WWE Tag Team titles on the line. What an emotional match this is gonna be.
X-Pac and Kane defending against Triple H and Test.
[Lawler] I can't wait. It's gonna be great.
[Ross] Big time matchup, and no doubt X-Pac's got some scores to settle
with Triple H, big time.
It could happen right here tonight for the Tag Team Championship.
What else is going to happen here tonight? I tell you what, I just don't--
We got a sold out house here in the Joe here in Detroit.
Hey, wait a minute. There's the Rattlesnake.
The Rattlesnake is here,
ladies and gentlemen.
The Texas Rattlesnake is here, and he's headed our way.
As the world's preeminent big game hunter, I have amassed
an impressive collection of animals.
I got this while on safari in the Congo. No sweat.
This last one was the toughest of them all.
I made the mistake of approaching him as he was feeding.
The zesty, hearty goodness of Chef Boyardee overstuffed beef ravioli
is worth protecting.
Mmm! Beefy!
-[gunshot] -[glass breaking]
["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing]
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, the World Wrestling Entertainment champion
Stone Cold Steve Austin.
[Ross] Oh, they're on their feet at the Joe.
The Rattlesnake is here.
He's two weeks away from defending the WWE title
at Backlash against The Rock.
And yes, Shane McMahon will be
the special referee for that matchup, King.
[Lawler] Well…
Probably Austin is down here, maybe gonna look for The Rock,
but I think I heard The Rock tell Shane that he was going after some fresh air.
[Ross] A likely story, knowing those two, Shane McMahon and The Rock,
but be that as it may, that Rattlesnake wants his property back.
He wants that smoking skull belt.
It's Austin's property. It doesn't belong to The Rock.
It doesn't belong to Shane McMahon.
[Lawler] Yeah, and people in hell want ice water too, JR.
[Ross] It's gonna be a war two weeks away on pay-per-view at Backlash.
[crowd chanting] Austin! Austin! Austin!
[Ross] This crowd chanting. It is absolutely deafening out here.
If you're ready for Backlash, give me a hell yeah.
[crowd chanting] Hell yeah!
You damn right, I see The Rock went and got himself a breath of fresh air.
But I tell you this, Rock, you better get a bunch of breath,
a bunch of damn fresh air.
Because if you thought WrestleMania was something,
you've got another thing coming.
Because there ain't no way the Stone Cold Steve Austin
is gonna go into Backlash and not come back with that belt.
[crowd cheering]
As far as Shane McMahon, the special referee, goes,
you can come out here in the middle of this ring and run down Vince
like the jackass that he is.
[Lawler] Uh-oh.
You can slap him in the face because I really don't give a damn
how you treat Vince.
I will say this, you better roll in that match as a special referee.
And you will count one, two, three, and you will not treat
Stone Cold Steve Austin like Vince McMahon.
Because if you do, I will beat your ass
like the sorry son of a bitch that you are.
-[Lawler yelps] -[Ross] Man, he is intense.
He means every word he says.
With Backlash being two weeks away,
I will go in that match and I will get back that belt.
But the way I look at it, two weeks is just too damn long
-for Stone Cold Steve Austin. -[Ross] Uh-oh.
[Lawler] I don't like the sound of that.
So the situation is really quite simple.
Rock, either get that damn belt, bring it in this ring.
And hand it over to Stone Cold Steve Austin
or I will come back there and drag your nursery rhyme singing,
roody-poo, candy ass.
-[Lawler yelps] -[Ross] It's Austin's personal property,
that belt.
I will drag your roody-poo, candy ass out here and wipe this whole damn arena
with your stinking ass.
[crowd cheering]
Hey, hey, redneck, piece of trash.
Exactly.
It's the great one, The Rock, the people's champ.
Does this look familiar to you, Austin? Does it?
It's your piece of trash title.
It's the bridge, there's the water, and it's a long way down.
But uh-uh, The Rock, he's not gonna throw it over the bridge
like you did The Rock's Intercontinental title
about a year and a half ago.
No, no, no, no. The Rock's an opportunist.
As a matter of fact, he's such an opportunist
that he wants you to find The Rock. You come on this bridge.
You come and get this piece of trash you call a belt.
You're such a big game hunter. Well, I'll tell you what, Stone Cold.
You go ahead and you come and hunt the greatest species,
biggest, baddest species, walking God's green earth
and the Brahma Bull himself.
So The Rock is up here, Stone Cold. You want it, you come and get it.
The Rock isn't going to tell you where he's at.
Uh-uh!
The Rock is up here on the roody-poo…
Hey, don't do it. Don't do it.
The Rock is up here on the Roody-Poo Bridge.
It's on the corner of the People's Champ Boulevard and Candy Ass Lane.
Stone Cold, you want the piece of trash? You come get the piece of trash.
[Lawler] Whoa!
You stand up there and you call yourself a super species.
As far as I'm concerned, you are the super feces.
[Ross] Uh-oh.
Ooh.
And you might want to watch your damn balance
because I ain't so sure that feces floats.
That belt is coming back with Stone Cold Steve Austin tonight,
and that's the bottom line, because Stone Cold said so.
-["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing] -[Ross] You gotta wonder,
where is The Rock? He's, oh…
Oh, there's our… The Rock is awaiting Stone Cold Steve Austin.
That's the invitation.
[Lawler] Well, there's a rock down on some bridge here in Detroit.
-But where? -[Ross] Well, Austin is a hunter.
I guess The Rock next off is going to have to track down The Rock.
[Lawler] It'll be the biggest game Austin ever hunted.
[Ross] We know that Austin and The Rock will get it on in two weeks
on pay-per-view, on Backlash.
But I don't think that we're going to have to wait two weeks.
Something's going to happen.
Hey, do you know where the boiler room is?
It's through this door and then to your left.
-Is that a hockey hat? -Yes.
-Are you one of the Red Wings? -I'm supposed to be.
I'm gonna play some hockey with Al Snow.
A few moments ago, Mankind came into the building.
He went directly into this boiler room, making good on the promise
he made on Sunday Night Heat last night
to stay locked in a boiler room for two weeks
to protect The Big Show, Paul White, from Mankind, making sure
that The Big Show gets into a boiler room
in two weeks for their big match at Backlash.
Coming up after this matchup, we hope to get a word with Mankind.
-["Big" playing] -♪ Well, it's the Big Show ♪
♪ Yes it's a big man show tonight ♪
[Ross] What an ovation.
-Oh, man, what a monster. -[announcer] This contest is for one fall.
Making his way to the ring weighing in at 500 pounds,
"The Big Show" Paul Wight.
-[Lawler] Guy is huge. -[Ross] He is the biggest athlete
that I have ever seen in any sport.
500 pounds in great shape.
And yes, in two weeks, in a Boiler Room Brawl Match,
it will be The Big Show in Mankind, and that ain't gonna be pretty.
[Lawler] You're not kidding.
This guy's over 7 feet tall, and when he holds that hand up,
he's gotta be near 10 feet.
[Ross] Well, folks, WWE Backlash is presented by the motor oil
that provides maximum protection.
Castrol GTX. Drive hard.
Backlash in just under two weeks, exclusively on Pay-Per-View.
["Blood" playing]
[Lawler] Oh, I'll tell you, JR, this is going to be very interesting.
[Ross] This is going to be a handicap match.
All three members of The Brood against the Big Show.
[Lawler] They might have a chance that way.
[Ross] I don't know if even the Big Show can put down three men.
Certainly, Christian has been the focal point of The Undertaker's…
[Lawler] Well, as you can hear, just listen.
-The basement! The basement -Where is she? Where is she?
[Lawler] Christian was the one who gave up the location of Stephanie,
and then he paid the price because The Undertaker made Gangrel
and Edge hold Christian while he flogged him.
[Ross] Christian returned to the ring last week,
was not even in the match, but got thrown into the ring and defeated,
and that could not have made The Undertaker a very happy Phenom.
We still do not know whom will take on The Big Show here.
[Lawler] Oh, look at this.
Maybe don't look at this.
Oh.
[Ross] Big Show waiting somewhat patiently.
He certainly doesn't care.
-[The Undertaker] Edge, Gangrel, leave. -[Ross] Uh-oh.
And leave now.
Tonight, Christian must prove his worth to the Ministry.
But more importantly, he must prove his worth to me.
Edge, Gangrel, there is nothing to think about.
You leave, or tonight, you will be the ones having to pay penance.
[Ross] That's The Undertaker's voice.
The Undertaker demanding it be Christian alone.
This is almost a suicide mission.
[Lawler] Well, I think The Brood came down here expecting a handicap match.
Three on one, but now The Undertaker has ordered Gangrel and Edge
to leave the ring.
[Ross] The Rock is at a Detroit area bridge
awaiting the arrival of Stone Cold.
And…
This is the biggest understatement of the year.
I don't like Christian's chances.
Look at the size of The Big Show.
Just over seven feet tall, 500 pounds,
and Christian's going to give it all he's got.
[Lawler] Uh-oh.
It ain't gonna be enough! Oh!
[Ross] The Big Show is a monster.
[Lawler] Oh, look at this. Oh!
I mean, what did The Undertaker, did The Undertaker expect that Christian
to impress The Undertaker in this match?
That's like, that's like saying, "Hey, let an 18-Wheeler drive over you
and look impressive while you do it." Oh, no.
[Ross] Oh, look out here.
-It could be, yes. -[Lawler] One hand, look at, oh, my gosh.
[Ross] This is a showstopper.
[Lawler] He's gotta be near 12 feet in the air.
Oh! Oh!
[Ross] 500 pounds just drilled Christian, and ain't nobody gonna get up from that.
[bell rings]
-["Big" playing] -♪ Well it's the Big Show ♪
[announcer] Here is your winner, the Big Show, Paul Wight.
[Lawler] I'm not talking about a big show, JR. This guy's a whole show.
[Ross] Man, what a war it's going to be, not for the weak at heart.
Two weeks from now in that Boiler Room Brawl matchup,
that man, the Big Show at 500 pounds against Mankind.
-And look at this unmitigated power. -[Lawler] Oh.
[Ross] Unbelievable, one hand. Michael Cole standing by.
Mankind, in two weeks at Backlash, you take on the "Big Show" Paul Wight,
in your specialty, a broiler room brawl.
And who can forget what the Big Show did to you at WrestleMania?
Well, let's just say it's a matter of personal pride.
Now, I know all of a sudden the Big Show is everybody's big buddy.
But let's just say I have a big problem with the Big Show.
So what I'll do 13 days from this date, I'll invite him into my boiler room,
and we'll settle our differences.
And when I'm done,
The big show will leave this boiler room on a big stretcher.
Have a nice day, Michael.
Are you serious? This is what you do.
Go down to the boiler room, take Mankind, wham, take him out of there,
show him what it's all about, Main Street style.
Seriously?
Seriously. Do it up.
[Ross] There's The Rock on some bridge awaiting The Rattlesnake, King.
[Lawler] Come on, you don't think that Stone Cold Steve Austin
is gonna venture out after dark in Detroit just to look for The Rock here tonight,
-do you? Uh-oh. -[Ross] Oh, hell yeah.
No way he's gonna beat the pot. Let's go.
-No pain, no gain, brother. -Say no more.
That boy's payin'.
["Ass Man" playing]
[Ross] Well, as Mr. Ass, Billy Gunn makes his way to the ring,
I don't know for sure, but I don't think those two youngsters
from the Mean Street Posse know what they're in for
if they find Mankind in a boiler room.
[Lawler] Hey, wait a minute, JR. Those guys grew up the tough way.
The Mean Streets of Greenwich.
I mean, they came from a neighborhood so tough
that Santa Claus had to come up from the sewer.
-Mean streets. -[Ross] Have you ever been in Greenwich?
[Lawler] No.
-[Ross] Let me tell you about it. -[Lawler] I'm sure the streets are mean.
Okay, here we go.
If you're not down with the New Age Outlaws,
and of course those Red Wings…
-[Lawler] Uh… -[crowd cheering]
[Ross] Well, we are in Detroit, and this is their building.
I got two words for you!
[crowd chanting] Suck it!
[voice] Hello, ladies.
[Ross] This should be a good one.
[announcer] The following match is scheduled for one fall,
making its way to the ring from Las Vegas, Nevada,
weighing in at 244 pounds…
Val Venis.
[Ross] We know that the New Age Outlaws will face Jeff Jarrett and Owen Hart
at Backlash.
That's two weeks from now. That's a little under two weeks.
On pay-per-view.
And the winner of that tag team match at Backlash will earn
a WWE Tag Team Championship opportunity.
[Lawler] That's going to be big. This will be a big match right here.
You remember with these two guys?
Val Venis and "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn went at it for the Intercontinental title.
And had some… you know how they are, don't you?
-Some slobber knockers. -[Ross] I thought you might use that.
These two great young athletes.
Only see them right here in WWE as well, I might add.
Hello, ladies.
[Lawler laughs] Whoo-hoo!
You know something, ladies?
I may not be Grant Hill,
but on the Big Valbowski's court,
you have never, ever seen a piston pump like this.
[Lawler laughs]
-[bell rings] -[Ross] All right, here we go.
Val Venis and the Badd Ass Billy Gunn.
And again, ladies and gentlemen, Stone Cold Steve Austin
is searching for The Rock.
-And, uh… -[Lawler] Do you know that for a fact?
That's right.
You think Austin's going to back down from any challenge?
You know that as good as I do. Don't even go there.
-You know he's looking for it. -[Lawler] He's easy to find.
-He's down at Roody-Poo Bridge. -[Ross] Right.
Well, if whatever happens there, we're going to break in at any moment.
We'll go to that bridge, wherever the heck it is.
[Lawler] You know how big, tough men are like Stone Cold.
They will not stop and ask directions for anything.
[Ross] Val Venis hammering away at the Badd Ass Billy Gunn.
These two guys certainly want to move up the ladder here.
Two great young superstars.
And it certainly typifies the foundation of World Wrestling Entertainment.
-[Lawler] Man. -[Ross] Young, agile, athletic.
Oh, my! What a spine-buster slam there. That could be all.
Two, I thought Val had it right there.
Near-fall situation by Val Venis, King.
[Lawler] You gotta like Val Venis. This guy is really something.
The ladies love this guy. Oh, look at this.
[laughs]
[Ross] I think the ladies kind of like Mr. Ass, too. Oh!
I know what you're thinking, so don't go there.
[Lawler] What?
[Ross] And again, Billy Gunn and his incomparable partner,
the Road Dogg, they comprise the New Age Outlaws.
They'll meet former tag champions Jeff Jarrett and Owen Hart at Backlash.
And man, that Backlash is shaping up to be a real classic
pay-per-view event in two weeks' time.
-[Lawler] Oh, man! -[Ross] What a shot there.
And a DDT!
Oh, Val got planted and went limp from that DDT.
[Lawler] That's unusual for Val.
-That may be it. -[Ross] There's a cover.
And one, two-- No, no.
Well, maybe one too many bumps and grinds there by Mr. Ass.
-[Lawler] Oh, man. -[Ross] Val face first into a turnbuckle.
I'll tell you what.
We know that the Mean Street Posse is looking for Mankind.
They've…
And that boiler room isn't a safe place to be for man nor beast.
[Lawler] And, you know, think about it.
Unfortunately for the Mean Street Posse, they just may find Mankind.
[Ross] That will not be a nice situation. What an Irish whip.
What velocity from the 6'5", 270-pounder.
-[Lawler] Look out! -[Ross] And Val, oh, Val Venis countered
and used Mr. Ass' own momentum
[Lawler] He almost decapitated Billy Gunn.
[Ross] Billy Gunn in trouble, obviously.
Boy, these two guys are really on top of their game here.
-[Lawler] He's out of it. -[Ross] Lean, in great condition.
Both arms hooked.
Val looking for a suplex.
-[Lawler] He got it. -[Ross] Found it.
Floats over, hooks the leg, and two and a half.
[Lawler] Whoa!
[Ross] Very competitive matchup here.
[Lawler] How did Billy kick out of that? I can't believe it.
[Ross] As we have documented, both these guys in great shape.
And Mr. Ass is fighting back.
[Lawler] Woo-hoo! Wow!
[Ross] Now catching Billy, coming right in that foot.
-[Lawler] Oh, my gosh! -[Ross] Another counter by Mr. Ass.
The elevation…
Oh!
Oh, my God!
[Lawler] You hear that?
[Ross] Man, Billy Gunn's body just splat right on the floor here.
There's Jeff Jarrett and Owen Hart.
They've come to get him some.
-On Mr. Ass. -[bell rings]
And Val Venis sliding right outside.
[Lawler] Hey, what's he doing?
[Ross] Well, Val Venis didn't like the two-on-one attack.
-And there's the Road Doggy Dog. -[Lawler] Wait a minute!
It's Road Dogg doing a Doggy Stomp!
Yeah!
[Ross] The Outlaws now taking it to Jarrett and Owen Hart.
[Lawler] Oh, no!
[Ross] And this has spilled out all over the arena here.
The Outlaws asserting themselves here.
And yes, it will be a classic tag team confrontation at Backlash.
[Lawler] Hey, and look at this.
[Ross] Miss Debra is up.
[Lawler] Oh my gosh.
[Ross] She's got her eye on the Big Valbowski, I ain't sure.
[Lawler] Don't get him excited.
When Big Valbowski gets excited, he can't even close his eyes.
-There's not enough skin to go around. -[Ross] Oh, stop it.
Val has never seen something she likes.
Val, every inch of the man, and now Jeff Jarrett and Owen Hart saying,
"Let's go."
Oh, my.
If I didn't know better, I'd think ol' Debra's a little smitten
with the Valbowski.
[indistinct conversation]
Gotta wonder where, if and when, not if, but when Austin's gonna catch up
with The Rock on a bridge somewhere in Detroit.
Our cameras are there.
Here it is, baby. Boiler Room.
And just remember what Shane O'Mac says. Every single day…
-Someone's gotta pay. And today… -It's Mankind.
-Let's rock, brother! -Let's go!
-Whoo! -Work it out, big boys.
[announcer] And now, the Castrol GTX Slam of the Week.
Brought to you by the motor oil that provides maximum protection.
Castrol GTX. Drive hard.
And Kane with a right hand. And X-Pac now.
X-Factor!
This could be over. Hook to the leg, it's two and it's over!
[bell rings]
They may have been outcast their entire lives, but for another day,
they're the tag team champions.
That was the Castrol GTX Slam of the Week, brought to you by the motor oil
that provides maximum protection.
Castrol GTX. Drive hard.
[Ross] They're at the boiler room, there's a fight apparently in progress.
Mankind fending off Pete Gas. There's Rodney, King.
The Mean Street Posse is getting hammered.
I can't believe it!
[Lawler] They found Mankind, but I think they wish they hadn't.
Oh, no!
[Ross] Shane McMahon's big friends are getting annihilated by…
Oh, Mankind!
[Lawler] It's Rodney! Where's Shane? Oh!
[both clamoring]
[Ross] Don't send a boy to do a man's job.
Oh, I hate that damn haircut anyway.
[sobs]
[Ross] What was that?
[Lawler] Sounded like somebody whimpering.
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
Making their way to the ring being accompanied by Debra,
at a combined weight of 477 pounds,
Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett!
[Lawler] That wasn't Pete Gas or Rodney, Ryan whimpering, was it?
-Somebody in the… -[Ross] It wasn't Mankind, either.
Sounded like a little kid or a female. I'm not sure what it was.
What could that have been?
Well, one thing we know for sure,
these two men, Hart and Jarrett,
will meet the Outlaws at Backlash,
and that will be for the opportunity
to meet the WWE Tag Team Champions, whomever they may be.
[Lawler] That's right, because the WWE Tag Team Champions,
Kane and X-Pac, are gonna be in the action tonight
against Triple H and Test!
[announcer] And their opponents, from the Ministry of Darkness,
at a combined weight of 610 pounds,
the Acolytes!
[Ross] Man, this is gonna be a physical matchup.
-[Lawler] Look out. -[Ross] The Acolytes mean business.
-They are deadly. -[bell rings]
Bradshaw and Farooq.
Two prominent members of The Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness.
And they're about to get in that tag team title hunt as well.
And again, ladies and gentlemen,
The Rock is at a bridge here in the Detroit area,
awaiting the arrival of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[Lawler] He told him where it is. Roody Poo Bridge.
It's right on Candy-Ass Lane. What?
[Ross] Swinging neck breaker by Jeff Jarrett.
Certainly anywhere Owen Hart goes, that nugget tent follows him around.
Hard shock there by Farooq tagging in Bradshaw,
and Bradshaw is all man and a yard wide.
[referee] Get off, man. Get off.
[Lawler] Oh, baby.
[Ross] Spinning heel kick by Owen Hart.
[Lawler] Can we have more shots of Debra? She's all woman! [whoops]
[Ross] And I wonder if she's still thinking about the Big Valbowski.
I do believe she's smitten with Old Val.
Only speculation on my part. And look at the athleticism of Bradshaw.
[referee] One, two!
[Ross] Near fall situation!
And Farooq in there hammering away at Jeff Jarrett.
Tag team title's… Hey, wait a minute.
Hang on. Here comes the Brood. Here comes the Ministry.
-[Lawler] This is bad. -[bell rings]
[Ross] Viscera and Mideon! The Brood! The Acolytes!
They're gonna dis… [yells]
[audience screaming]
-[Lawler] Oh, no! -[Ross] Oh, no.
[thunder rumbling]
["Ministry" playing]
[Ross] Oh, I think that business just might pick up right here, right now.
[audience cheering]
Here comes The Undertaker and Paul Bearer.
[Lawler] Where are his eyes?
[Ross] I've always respected The Undertaker,
but I guaran-damn-tee you,
what he's doing right now, folks, is wrong.
You can't look at it any other way. It's wrong.
Just like The Rock taking Austin's property.
That'll be a confrontation somewhere here in Detroit tonight.
With Austin and The Rock on a bridge somewhere,
but what The Undertaker has done to the McMahon family is wrong.
You don't bring an innocent young woman into this chaos.
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh. Look! They got Debra! Mideon's holding Debra!
[Ross] No, this is not right.
-[Lawler] Jeff and Owen can't do anything! -Debra, Debra, Debra.
Beautiful Debra.
You have to understand, this is not my fault.
You see, McMahon has left me no other choice.
He left with Stephanie!
[Ross] Come on.
Tonight, she was to be my prize.
My trophy.
And now, you're gonna have to do.
You see, McMahon?
How many of the innocent
will have to suffer?
Please.
How many souls will I have to take
before she's mine?
[Ross] This is not right. Hey, wait a minute. There's Shamrock!
Ken Shamrock's got a ball bat! Shamrock's got a baseball bat!
And The Undertaker is standing his ground!
Shamrock with a ball bat!
That's the World's most dangerous man with a weapon now!
Shamrock, if you hit me,
you'll never see Ryan again.
-[Ross] That's Shamrock's sister. -Then I guess I got nothing to lose.
[The Undertaker] The boiler room.
Ryan's in the boiler room.
[Lawler] What? Here at the Joe?
[The Undertaker] And from what Viscera told me,
she's enjoying everything that's happened to her.
[Ross] Undertaker is doing just what he chastised Christian for.
[Lawler] He's giving up! Look at Shamrock! My God!
[Lawler yells]
[Ross] Shamrock using that ball bat!
-But Shamrock got his information. -The Undertaker gave it up!
[Ross] Ken Shamrock's sister Ryan is in the boiler room
here at the Joe Louis Arena, apparently.
Or so the Undertaker says.
Ryan!
Ken, be careful.
Be very careful.
[laughs wickedly]
[Ross] The Undertaker is sick.
Something has come over Taker.
[siren wailing]
Well, folks, you gotta believe there's The Rock on that bridge.
The Rock is awaiting the Rattlesnake,
and I know it ain't gonna be long till the Rattlesnake gets there. Uh-oh.
Ladies and gentlemen, moments ago,
Ken Shamrock with a baseball bat in hand
was tearing up the Ministry
after The Undertaker had told Shamrock that Shamrock's little sister Ryan
was in the boiler room here at the Joe Louis Arena.
[Lawler] Well, if you ask me,
The Undertaker gave up that information a little too willingly.
[Ross] And there's Shamrock. Were back and live here in Detroit.
Shamrock obviously headed to the boiler room.
[Lawler] And I'll repeat what The Undertaker said. "Be careful."
["Cell Block" playing]
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall,
and it is for the World Wrestling Entertainment
Intercontinental Championship.
Introducing the challenger from Cobb County, Georgia,
weighing in at 312 pounds,
the Big Boss Man!
[Ross] King, I guess the Big Boss Man works for Shane McMahon now,
and not Vince McMahon.
After what we saw earlier tonight,
when Shane and his father had a verbal confrontation
provoked by Shane…
[Lawler] Verbal? It was physical.
I mean, let's face it. Shane slapped his father's face.
["Gold-lust" playing]
-[Ross] I was getting ready to say that. -And then he smiled!
[announcer] And his opponent…
From Hollywood, California, weighing in at 260 pounds,
he's the World Wrestling Entertainment Intercontinental Champion.
Goldust!
[Lawler] You know what else Shane did?
If you remember, he fired Jerry Brisco and Pat Patterson.
How long have they worked for Mr. McMahon?
[Ross] Patterson's been around WWE for 30 years.
Brisco probably over 20.
[Lawler] And I hadn't brought it up until now,
but you heard what Shane said about you.
[Ross] I heard what he said.
Well, he can say what he wants. You should honor your parents.
It's a bad lesson. Honor thy mother and father.
You don't disrespect your parents like that.
I don't care what kind of provocation… He's changed. Drunk with power, King.
[Lawler] He said he was gonna streamline the Corporation.
There's no room for geezers.
Well, this is for the Intercontinental Championship.
And the Big Boss Man, representing Shane McMahon's revamped Corporation,
to challenge, Goldust here.
[funk music playing]
[Ross] Wait a minute. Hey, there's The Godfather.
[Lawler laughing]
And wherever you see The Godfather, King…
-[Lawler laughing] -[Ross] …you see the hos.
[Lawler] I knew business was gonna pick up, JR.
Tonight may be my lucky night.
[Ross] Godfather and Goldust are no strangers to each other.
[Lawler] And Detroit is no stranger to hos. [whooping]
[Ross] Godfather and Goldust had quite the confrontation last week.
[Lawler] Wait, look, JR! It's the ho train! [whooping]
[Ross] What's going on with the caboose?
[Lawler] They all got nice cabooses.
[Ross] I'll tell you, all I know
is that there's an Intercontinental title match slated.
Goldust and the Boss Man.
[Lawler whoops]
[Ross] Godfather's gonna turn this thing into a party, it looks like.
[Lawler laughing] Look at that one. She's got a smile I'd like to wake up to.
[Ross] I'll tell you, Detroit's always been a good place to party. Detroit
Hey, Boss Man. Hold up, now. Hold up. This ain't no trick.
You better back up.
Now listen. I wrestled this chump last week on Monday Night Raw.
And there was nothing ever settled.
So I have a deal of a lifetime for you.
[Lawler] Oh, here we go.
[audience cheering]
If you back… Hang on, now.
If you back out of this match with this chump,
and let me wrestle him…
[Lawler] Huh?
You'll have your choice of any one of these fine hos.
[Lawler] Wait a minute. You're talking to the Big Boss Man.
He usually incarcerates hos, I think.
He's no degenerate.
[Godfather] If you don't want them,
we got some hockey players here from the Detroit Red Wings.
-[Ross] Mat Dandenault and Darren McCarty. -[Lawler] They'll take the hos!
I know, and all these people know, that they'll take the hos.
[Lawler laughing]
-Yeah, man! -[Godfather] Go on. Take a look at them.
[Lawler] That'll be a hat trick. That'll be a ho trick.
-Wait a minute. -You know what?
They know what to do with that nightstick.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[audience exclaiming]
-[Ross] Well… -Think that got Boss Man's attention.
Not one, not two, not three, not four.
All five!
[Lawler] Boss Man wants all five of them!
[Ross] Boss Man is driving a very hard bargain.
[Lawler] He is a boss man.
You want all five of them?
-[Lawler laughing] -Well, I'll tell you what.
I want him so bad, you got all of them for the whole night.
[Lawler whooping]
[Ross] Well, apparently, then, uh…
[Lawler] What a ho train this is gonna be for Boss Man!
-[Ross] We gotta change in the lineup. -Take them, man.
[Lawler] Look at this.
Know what I like about hos?
They're not wearing much, but they got more on their body than on their minds.
They're all going with the Boss Man.
[funk music playing]
[Ross] Well, in the frivolity of this, don't forget,
The Rock is telling Stone Cold to come and retrieve
the Smoking Skull belt,
and The Rock is waiting on Austin at a bridge here in the Detroit area.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -And Goldust…
[bell rings]
Well, he's gonna gain that early advantage.
That all-important early advantage on The Godfather.
And I'm assuming that the Intercontinental title
is still on the line here.
[Lawler] You're also assuming that The Rock is on his way after…
Or that Stone Cold's on his way after The Rock.
The Rock's waiting on that bridge over troubled waters.
-[Ross] Oh, my! -[Lawler whoops]
Do we know for sure that Austin is on his way out there?
Well, I don't know we're sure, but my gut tells me yes.
-Oh, good. -As well as I know Austin.
I wanna see it.
[Ross] Goldust is taking a hammering here. I'll tell you, Goldust is 6'6", 260.
And look how big The Godfather is. He's gotta be 6'7" or maybe 6'8".
[Lawler] The Godfather thought he became the Intercontinental Champion,
and he wants to finish the job tonight. Look out!
[Ross] Goldust using that lever to… A suplex.
And there's a near fall.
Again, we are assuming the title is on the line here.
Originally signed for Goldust and the Boss Man.
You saw the transaction that put Godfather in, the Boss Man out.
[Lawler] Speaking of titles, we know the WWE Tag titles are on the line.
Kane and X-Pac going against Triple H and Test.
[Ross] That's a hardcore title matchup. Bob Holly and D-Lo Brown.
And Goldust and The Godfather are taking it outside here.
Tell you what, that last situation with The Undertaker,
I guess Shamrock is looking for his sister.
The Undertaker told Shamrock that Ryan was in the building, in the boiler room.
And our cameras will keep up with Shamrock.
We'll break you in there if need be.
[audience chanting] Nitro sucks!
[Ross] Goldust…
[Lawler] I'll tell you what I wanna see again, JR.
-[Ross] Pretty interesting chant. -Yeah.
-[Ross] Speaks for itself, doesn't it? -Yeah.
Something else that speaks for itself, I gotta see it again.
I want them to show Shane McMahon slapping his father, Mr. McMahon…
Why would you wanna see that? That was so uncomfortable.
[Lawler] The slap heard around World Wrestling Entertainment.
I mean, Shane has seized power tonight.
[Ross] Vince ain't always been an angel. He may never be an angel.
But a man doesn't deserve to be embarrassed like that by his own son,
his own flesh and blood, in this… Anywhere.
Especially on national television
for a worldwide audience, more specifically.
[Lawler] Uh-oh. Here we go.
[Lawler imitating train whistle]
Here comes the Ho Train! No brakes!
[Ross] Oh, man. What a head of steam.
Goldust was idle. He couldn't move, or he didn't move.
I don't know if he knows where he is.
[Lawler] Oh, no!
[Ross] Goldust elevated The Godfather up and over.
That's gonna buy the Intercontinental Champion some time.
What about you, JR? Would you have traded the title match for five hos?
Oh, no. I'm a happily married man, King.
Oh, come on. I've heard you've tried your hand at sex.
And again, I really believe, down deep in my heart,
that Austin, as we speak, is on his way to a bridge right here in Detroit,
where The Rock is waiting.
The Rock is waiting with Austin's personal property,
the Smoking Skull belt,
and there's gonna be one hell of a fight when they hook it up right here tonight.
[Lawler] It's the Roody Poo Bridge. Everybody in Detroit knows where it is.
[Ross] Inside cradle! There's three. No, two and a half.
Plus…
Do you know for a fact there's a Roody Poo Bridge in this town?
-There isn't, okay? I checked. -Oh, excuse me.
And the WWE Tag title's on the line tonight.
Very emotional situation for X-Pac. He and Kane, champions…
Oh, look out here. …against Triple H and Test.
[Lawler] And… Oh, wow!
[Ross] The Godfather's version of the Death Valley driver.
And… The Godfather wins it!
The Godfather, the new Intercontinental Champion!
[announcer] Here's your winner
and the new World Wrestling Entertainment Intercontinental Champion,
The Godfather!
-[Lawler] What does that make the hos? -The title was up for grabs!
It is official! We have a new Intercontinental Champion,
and he is The Godfather.
[Lawler] Hey, look, that Boss Man's pretty quick.
The hos are back!
[whoops] What a night this is gonna be for The Godfather, and the hos.
[Ross] All five of the Godfather's, uh, Detroit hos are about to celebrate.
[Lawler] Everybody knows that hos love gold.
[Ross] Well, Goldust certainly will have a grievance here that he could file
because he was signed to meet the Big Boss Man.
[Lawler] Man, I'd like to get invited to that victory party.
[Ross] I'll tell you what, this party can last all night long here in Detroit.
[Lawler] Look at that! [laughs]
[Ross] And the hos are piling on The Godfather.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. Look. -There's Shamrock.
-[Shamrock] Ryan! -[Mankind] Kenny.
She's over here with me.
-[Shamrock] Are you okay? -[Ryan sobbing]
-She's scared. -[Shamrock] Are you hurt?
[metallic clanging]
[Ross] We are back live here in Detroit. The show is sold out.
I'm about to show you some very uncomfortable footage
between a father and a son.
Earlier tonight, Vince McMahon was telling his son Shane
how you acquire power.
And you have to earn it with respect.
Respect this.
[audience clamoring]
[Ross] I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
-Absolutely horrendous here. -Respect this.
[audience clamoring]
[Ross] One more look, ladies and gentlemen.
-This family torn apart. -Respect this.
[audience clamoring]
[Ross] Never thought I'd see the day.
I tell you what, we may have witnessed the changing of the guard.
I mean, the power-hungry son seizing control from his father
And like you said, I can't believe Vince McMahon stood there and…
-Uh-oh. What is this? -[Ross] What? My God.
[Shamrock shouting]
[Ross sputtering]
The Undertaker set Shamrock up! Mankind and Shamrock.
You can barely see. Trying to fight the whole Ministry, King!
[The Undertaker] Take him out!
[Ross] That's The Undertaker's voice!
[Lawler] That's why he said, "Be careful." He tried to warn Shamrock.
Then he led him right into a trap.
[Ross] This was a trap. This reeks of a set-up by The Undertaker.
[The Undertaker] Take him down.
[Ross] The Undertaker is evil.
He's a… My God, The Taker's a…
[The Undertaker] Welcome to the world of the dark, Shamrock.
[Ross] What the hell is wrong with the Taker?
[Lawler] I'm telling you, he's believing.
And he's got the entire Ministry believing too.
The Undertaker's television persona has come alive.
[Ryan screaming]
[The Undertaker] Get him over here!
[Ross] My God, Shamrock's being pummeled.
[The Undertaker] You see, Shamrock?
This is what the world of the dark is all about.
You will know suffering like never before.
-Paul, come here. Put him out. -[Ryan] No! Stop it!
-[Ross] What is that? -[The Undertaker] Hold him!
[Lawler] I don't know, but I can hear Ryan screaming.
She's gotta be there watching this.
-Put him out. -[Lawler] Where's Mankind?
[Ryan] Stop it! What are you doing?
[The Undertaker] All right, leave him.
[Ross] Shamrock's helpless.
[The Undertaker] Next time, Shamrock…
[Ryan screaming]
Now, Shamrock, you become one with the darkness.
Let's take him.
[Ross] What in the hell are they gonna do with Shamrock?
What is the Ministry gonna do with Shamrock?
And his little sister's having to witness this.
-[The Undertaker] Come here. -[Ryan sobbing]
You little slut.
What do you think of your big brother now?
This is all your fault. You're responsible for what happens to him now.
[laughs wickedly]
[Ross] That's Ryan Shamrock, Shamrock's little sister.
How can even Undertaker fans condone what The Phenom is doing here?
Kenny!
[Lawler] The Undertaker's turning to the…
-Kenny! -[Lawler] He's just an S.O.B.
What have they done to Ryan Shamrock?
[Ross] My God. What's gonna happen next tonight?
["You Better Recognize" playing]
[Ross] We are back live, ladies and gentlemen,
here at the Joe in Detroit.
We are sold out and the Hardcore title will be on the line momentarily.
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall,
and it's for the World Wrestling Entertainment
Hardcore Championship.
And in the ring, being accompanied by Ivory,
the challenger from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 265 pounds,
D-Lo Brown!
[Ross] Well, ladies and gentlemen, tonight, Raw is brought to you
by the motor oil that provides maximum protection.
Castrol GTX. Drive hard.
[Lawler] And by WWE the Music, Vol. 3.
Hear the original entrance theme songs of your favorite WWE Superstars.

[Ross] And by Chef Boyardee.
Overstuff yourself on Monday nights
with Chef Boyardee Overstuffed and WWE.
Hey, what are you doing? Al Snow is out here. Come on.
Hey, I'm here to protect my investment, all right?
We're here to take care of that Hardcore title.
Nobody's taking it from Bob Holly. This whole situation stinks.
["Slow Death" playing]
[announcer] And his opponent, from Mobile, Alabama…
[Al] It does stink. Stinks as much as Mankind.
The World Wrestling Entertainment Hardcore Champion, Hardcore Holly!
[Ross] Well, ladies and gentlemen, that Backlash was announced earlier today,
Al Snow will meet the winner of this matchup for the Hardcore title.
[Al] Come on, Baba Looey. Come on, take it to him.
He's got other things to do.
[Ross] D-Lo Brown and Hardcore Holly. One-on-one with the Hardcore title.
Again, Al Snow will meet the winner of this match.
-[Al] At Backlash. -That's right, Al.
That's right. We get our belt. We finally get what's rightfully ours.
[Lawler] Look at this. A hockey stick!
[Al] Tell you what, though, this thing stinks to high heaven.
Something smells as bad as Mankind.
-[Ross] Uh-oh. -[Lawler] Uh-oh!
[Al] Uh-oh.
-[Ross] Well, damn, the Detroit Red Wings… -[Al] In the Red Wings' corner.
[Ross] They're having a problem with Bob Holly.
[Lawler] Look at this!
-[Ross] McCarty and Dandenault… -[Lawler] A cross check!
Oh, no! He got a stick in!
-[Ross] The Red Wings are… -[Al] Come on, Bob! Get up!
-[Ross] That's a legal, uh… -[Al] Bob.
[Ross] Hockey stick's legal.
Everything's legal in these darn Hardcore matches.
-What is going on? -[Lawler] That's a misconduct.
-Five-minute major! -[Ross] No disqualifications.
-[Al] Come on, now, Bob. Get lucky. -[Lawler] Put D-Lo in the penalty box!
-[Al] Come on. -[Lawler] Oh, my Gosh.
[Ross] D-Lo Brown with a scoop slam on Hardcore Holly.
[Al] Bob Holly's been lucky for couple weeks now.
Some would say he's almost as lucky as Mankind.
Oh, my gosh!
[Lawler] You're gonna talk about Mankind?
You're a crony for Mankind. I know he set you against me.
Let me tell you, though, he's been lucky.
He hasn't been that lucky since he was in prison.
[Lawler] What? Oh, come on. Let me ask you this.
Speaking of this Hardcore match,
what do you think about the fact that Hardcore Holly came about that name
at your expense, Al?
He's hardcore. That's fine. We agree he's hardcore.
But he's not the crown prince of hardcore. That's our belt.
And we're out here to protect our investment.
[Ross] Bob Holly saved himself there. The knockdown, the clothesline.
We got plans, Bob. We've got a date. We got a dance. Come on.
[Lawler] Something stinks, right, Al?
When was the last time you washed the hair on this head?
[Al] I tell you what, this whole thing smells as bad as Mankind,
and I'm not saying he has body odor, but one time he used Secret…
-[Lawler] Oh! -[Ross] Whoa.
Another legal move. Remember, anything goes in these Hardcore matches.
Pinfalls count anywhere in the arena, and there must be… Oh, boy!
Must be a winner.
And D-Lo Brown using that hockey stick. Look out!
[Al] Oh, you know what?
These things can really take a lot of you. I think Bob looks a little thirsty.
He needs a little H2O. A little agua.
[Lawler] Where are you going, Al Snow?
[Ross] Al Snow off headsets here.
[Lawler] Look at this.
[Ross] Al's a little…
What are you giving him, a cup of Kool-Aid?
[Al] There we go, and… Yes!
[Ross] Oh, God! The glass just broke on D-Lo's head!
-[Lawler] What? -[Al] Come on.
[Ross] Bob Holly just broke that glass on D-Lo's face!
But D-Lo Brown's able to kick out. Good grief.
And now you got broken glass in the darn ring.
[Al] Doesn't it make you feel alive
to know that at any time, a career could end?
Man, I tell you, this is exciting.
-[Lawler] You love this, don't you, Al? -I love it.
[Ross] Watch this again.
-[Al] Oh! -[Ross] Right in D-Lo's head. Goodness.
[Lawler] Don't say "head" while Al Snow's out here.
Well, yeah, all right.
[Lawler] What are we gonna… What's this gonna be?
[Al] What do you think it's gonna be?
I don't think he's setting up for Thanksgiving.
[Ross] Something painful, that's what it's going to be.
[Al] Come on, Baba Looey.
[Ross] Hardcore title on the line, remember.
At Backlash, Al Snow gets his opportunity.
That's my belt. No!
[Lawler] It's gonna take a lot to beat D-Lo.
-Get up! -[Lawler] You bust a glass over his head.
Break a hockey stick over his head. You still can't beat him.
Gonna take more than a table.
[Ross] It may be D-Lo Brown, Al, that you're gonna face at Backlash.
No, it is not. Not this time. Not ever. No way.
I am not gonna let that slip out of my hands again.
[Ross] Oh, look out here. Frog splash. D-Lo Brown was going for the frog splash.
[Lawler] What is he doing? This guy's insane.
[Ross] Remember, there's no disqualifications here.
-[Lawler] Oh, man! -[Al] What a shot!
[Ross] D-Lo Brown is swinging that steel chair with authority.
[Lawler] He acts like he's the chairman of the board,
and Bob Holly's fixing a table.
[Ross] My gosh, now you're gonna see that frog splash.
-Holly's laid out on that table. -[Lawler] You're kidding me.
[Ross] D-Lo Brown's gonna be the new Hardcore Champion.
You can feel it here.
-[Lawler] Look out! -[Ross] Oh, God. Good lord.
Sounded like a car wreck.
D-Lo Brown right through the table. Bob Holly on top.
And thanks to Al Snow,
Hardcore Holly remains the Hardcore Champion.
[announcer] …Hardcore Champion, Hardcore Holly!
[Lawler] I can't believe it. Al Snow, he saved Hardcore Holly there.
[Ross] Al Snow protecting his investment, as he said.
Nobody's gonna beat Bob Holly with the Hardcore title but Al Snow.
If Al Snow has his way… There's another look at it.
D-Lo Brown had Bob Holly in his sights. Hardcore.
People say I've lost touch with reality.
Well, I just want you to know that I am who I am.
And the reality is, tonight,
you become one with my Ministry.
But before that can happen, you must suffer.
You must feel unimaginable pain.
So, Kenny, rest gently, my friend.
It's going to be a long, long night.
[laughs wickedly]
This is ridiculous. The Rock's got millions and millions of fans, Stone Cold.
Where the hell you at?
Other than ten pounds of monkey crap in a five-pound bag.
[object clattering]
The hell is that?
Oh, well, what a coinkydink. It's a little fishing pole.
Well, I'll tell you what, Stone Cold,
everybody knows The Rock is an avid fisherman.
There's even a hook right there.
You come on down, you find the Roody Poo Bridge,
and The Rock will put your candy ass right on the end of that.
He'll throw you out there, we'll see what we catch.
Hell, we'll probably catch a mutated freak fish
since you're such a candy-ass piece of trash.
[Ross] We are live here at the Joe Louis Arena.
I cannot believe what we are seeing here up on the stage.
The Ministry has brought Ken Shamrock out here.
Shamrock found his sister Ryan earlier.
["Ministry" playing]
And apparently we're gonna have another sacrifice, King.
Well, Shamrock walked right into The Undertaker's trap.
I told you. He never was the sharpest knife in the drawer.
He should've known better
than The Undertaker was just gonna give up the location of Ryan for no reason.
[Ross] I've always been one of The Undertaker's biggest fans.
He is a phenom, a physical phenom. You cannot take that away from him.
But what he is doing, folks, is wrong.
Damn it. Wait a minute! It's…
[The Undertaker speaking indistinctly]
[Ross] Undertaker, that's Christian.
-Shamrock is… -[The Undertaker] Put him on the cross.
-[Lawler] What? -Put him…
[Paul] No, no, no.
You.
Put him on the symbol.
[Paul] Do what he says!
[Ross] The Undertaker making fellow Brood members manhandle Christian.
Apparently Christian didn't trust The Undertaker earlier.
Shamrock's trying to free himself.
-[Lawler] Look! -[Ross] Wait a minute.
The Brood now and the Ministry are fighting!
The Brood are disobeying The Undertaker.
Edge and Gangrel are fighting the Ministry.
-[Lawler] Meanwhile, Shamrock's about to… -[Ross] And there's Mankind!
Mankind!
[audience cheering]
He was assaulted by the Ministry as well tonight,
and he's back from the boiler room!
[Lawler] The Ministry's got their hands full now!
Where's The Undertaker?
[Ross] The Brood fighting the Ministry.
Shamrock and Mankind fighting the Ministry!
[Lawler] The Acolytes, Viscera, Mideon. Oh, is that… There's The Undertaker.
[Ross] The Undertaker observing all this. He's the one that deserves the beating.
The Undertaker, he deserves to be pounded on if somebody's man enough.
And it could be Shamrock at Backlash. Wait.
Where in the hell's The Undertaker going?
The Undertaker's disappearing.
The Ministry are fighting the Brood! My God, it's chaos!
["X-Pac" playing]
[Ross] Here we go! We are live at the Joe Louis Arena!
The crowd on their feet in anticipation for the WWE Tag Team title
on the line here momentarily,
and the electrifying, the courageous,
the resilient X-Pac on his way to the ring.
And, man, these fans love this kid.
-[Lawler] You left out one word. -What's that?
When you describe him, you need to include the word "lucky."
-How do you figure that? -Well, I mean, come on, let's face it.
Teaming with the big man retard Kane and coming out as the Tag Team Champions?
I don't think Kane knew for one minute that X-Pac was really his partner.
Well, that's your story, and I'm sure you're sticking to it.
One thing I can tell you for sure, there'll be no luck involved
when X-Pac takes on Triple H at Backlash in two weeks.
And here he comes.
-[Lawler yells] -["Slow Chemical" playing]
[Ross] The huge half of the Tag Team Champions.
Oh, yeah. He'll walk through hellfire and brimstone.
The Tag title's on the line.
[Lawler] That's where it should be. Hellfire and brimstone.
This guy shouldn't be street legal.
He should not be walking among normal human beings.
[Ross] Well, he certainly isn't normal. Almost 7 feet tall.
Over 300 pounds, about 330, is Kane.
How can Kane trust anybody after what he has endured in his life?
Been tragically burned as a child. The younger brother of The Undertaker.
-[Ross gasps] -[Lawler yells]
[Ross] This match is full of emotion.
X-Pac and Triple H, at one time best of friends,
but nevermore.
["No Chance in Hell" playing]
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
It's for the World Wrestling Entertainment Tag Team Championship.
Introducing the challengers, being accompanied to the ring
by the Ninth Wonder of the World, Chyna, at a combined weight of 541 pounds,
Test and Triple H!
[Ross] X-Pac's emotions may get the better of him here.
Cooler heads have gotta prevail in this high-stakes matchup
for the WWE Tag Team titles.
[Lawler] I'm gonna go out on a limb here. I'm making a royal prognostication.
We're gonna see the Tag Team title change hands right here tonight.
[Ross] I can't argue with that.
I hope that doesn't happen, but it very easily could happen tonight.
Wait a minute. Are you biased or something, JR?
-Damn right. -[Lawler laughs]
[Ross] And here we go.
Triple H and Kane.
Tag Team title's on the line here.
The two men that we saw battle at WrestleMania.
Oh, what a shot right to the face by Kane.
Great flexibility for the near 7-footer.
Chyna really suckered Kane in. It was so great.
[Ross] Kane has… It's not over.
I don't think he'll ever be over being betrayed by Chyna.
And now Triple H tagging in Test.
[Lawler] Is that a tag? Uh-oh. Look at this!
[Ross] Test is in.
And Kane, no doubt, will pass the test here. [laughs]
[Lawler] Yeah, you know, Chyna left some emotional scars on Kane,
to go along with the other scars he's got and disfigurements from the fire.
Oh, man!
[Ross] What a leg drop. Great elevation by the 300-pounder. There's X-Pac.
He's ready for the tag.
What kind of communication can Kane and X-Pac create here?
What kind of continuity can they have?
[Lawler] Right. Good question.
Doesn't matter how good you are individually,
can you function as a unit? Whoa!
[Ross] Dropkick by Test. Great athletic move, Test.
About 6-feet-6. Another one of the young lions here in WWE.
Hard right hand. Uh-oh. Kane has had enough of that.
And look at this power. That is scary. Scary strength by Kane.
[Lawler] Boy, and you gotta wonder if Shane McMahon is watching this.
What would Shane think
if corporate members bring home more gold tonight?
How proud would that make Shane McMahon?
-[Ross] X-Pac is begging for a tag. -[Lawler] Right. See?
-Ugh, it'll never work JR. -Well, Kane may not be…
Well, there's a tag right there.
-A tag was made whether Kane knew it or… -Get out!
[Lawler] Yeah, I don't think Kane really liked it.
How do you know? Oh, what a shot there. Right hand by Test. Down goes X-Pac.
[Lawler] See?
[Ross] Remember, the Tag Team title's on the line here.
X-Pac and Kane are being challenged by the Corporation.
And we also know that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
is on his way to collide with The Rock as we speak
at a bridge here in Detroit.
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh. What a shot!
[Ross] Got a foot right to the face.
X-Pac cannot keep his hands or his focus off of Triple H.
[Lawler] So now you got official word
that Stone Cold is really headed towards Roody Poo Bridge
here in Detroit City?
That's exactly what we're informed of.
I suspected it all along. Austin would never back off from anybody.
Oh, I'll make another royal prognostication.
I don't think Austin will show up.
He don't wanna get the smack laid down on him on Roody Poo Bridge.
[Ross] Triple H aggressively stomping away at his former best friend X-Pac.
The young man… Look at Chyna.
That jezebel. Damn her! Damn her!
And there's a cover! It's over! No! Oh, kicked out!
This resilient kid just will not stay down.
Attaboy, X-Pac.
[Lawler] Can I get a word in edgewise there, JR?
-Have at it. -I'm gonna say, what a shot from Chyna.
Beautiful!
[Ross] Backlash is gonna be so special.
X-Pac and Triple H. I cannot wait to see that one. One-on-one.
A gut wrench into a powerbomb!
Can he… Yes, he can! He can kick out!
[Lawler] He's lucky. I told you he was lucky.
[Ross] He is so resilient. This young X-Pac has so much heart.
Now Triple H is back in.
I tell you what, you gotta be impressed thus far
with the continuity of the Corporation.
Triple H and Test looking damn good here.
[Lawler] What a feather that'd be in their cap,
to bring home the Tag Team titles to Shane McMahon tonight.
[Ross] X-Pac fighting, got all his Tag titles on the line.
The Rock earlier… Oh, there's a cover.
And… Oh, two count!
[Lawler] We're talking about the new streamlined Corporation.
Like I said, no room for geezers. They're gone.
[Ross] Shane McMahon, I tell you what,
he slapped his own father, ladies and gentleman, right in the face.
You should always respect your parents no matter… Come hell or high water.
Shane McMahon fires two men
that we may not all agree with philosophically,
but did Patterson and Brisco deserve to be humiliated in front of the world?
[Lawler] And that slap on Shane's father was unprovoked.
I mean, Shane was just sending a message.
He was trying to show the world
that he now the has power in the Corporation.
[Ross] Speaking of power.
X-Pac has been isolated from his tag team partner Kane.
It's just about over here. It's almost over.
But X-Pac's not gonna give it up. He's not gonna fold his tent.
[Lawler] Fold it forward, Triple H!
[Ross] The youngster from Minneapolis fighting back up!
He'll give you all he's got, and down from the hair.
Triple H takes X-Pac down right by the hair.
What a cheap shot that was.
[Lawler] You know, thinking of Rock and Austin
back on Roody Poo Bridge…
[Ross groaning]
What a shot! With the spinning heel kick.
[Lawler] Only a guy like The Rock, magnificent specimen that The Rock is,
would be safe out after dark in the city of Detroit.
Austin won't venture out there.
You might have a point there, but Austin will venture.
Austin is hunting. Austin will find what he hunts.
I guarantee you. I can feel it in my bones…
Austin and The Rock on that bridge will fight over Austin's property tonight.
And there's a tag. There's a tag on both sides.
Oh, that Kane. He is devastation in red.
Can Kane be stopped by any human?
[Lawler] Oh, look at the power here. Oh, no.
[Ross] Helmsley and Test being hammered like children
at the hands of Kane.
Outside goes Triple H!
-[Lawler] Oh, no! -Ride him, cowboy!
[Lawler] The bronco buster that belonged to Shane McMahon.
Shane's not gonna like that.
[Ross] Kane is a legal man here.
Triple H better try to regroup his troops here.
You want me?
[Lawler] Look at this.
[Ross] Triple H, he just threw Test back in the ring very unceremoniously.
Test is a legal man. Oh, my God.
Tombstone! Tombstone!
-[Lawler] Where's Triple H going? -Tombstone!
That will be all, I guarantee it.
-[Lawler] Look at this! -What is Triple H doing?
[announcer] Here are your winners
and still World Wrestling Entertainment Tag Team Champions,
X-Pac and Kane!
[Ross] Helmsley winning the business for himself.
Helmsley just walked off from his own partner.
[Lawler] Well, he's asserting his new-found authority, I guess.
[Ross] Well, Shane McMahon has rubbed off on Triple H, I guess.
[Lawler] Uh-oh, look out. What do we got here?
[Ross] Oh, X-Pac, he wants some of Helmsley.
He doesn't wanna wait till Backlash in two weeks.
This thing's gonna get ugly.
[The Rock] Is there some damn singalong on the Roody Poo Bridge?
-[Ross] Uh-oh. -[beeper beeping]
3:16, huh?
3:16? Well, The Rock says he hopes your candy ass is coming.
Huh? You wanna play games, Stone Cold? Well, The Rock ain't going nowhere.
The Great One ain't going nowhere. 3:16, The Rock's ass.
[Ross] I guarantee you, the Rattlesnake's on his way, Rock.
You won't have to wait much longer. And here comes…
Oh, here's Shamrock again.
["The Ultimate" playing]
Again, I do not have Shamrock scheduled at this time.
Well, come out here, King. Do you have information there?
No, but a little bit earlier he showed his loyalty to Mr. McMahon,
but he paid the price by hanging around here.
[Ross] Shamrock has been assaulted in the boiler room by the Ministry.
Shamrock was set up by The Undertaker
to go to the boiler room to retrieve his baby sister Ryan
who was sacrificed last week, and we haven't seen her in a week.
-[Lawler] Wonder what they did to her. -Oh, I don't even wanna think about that.
You know, Undertaker,
I've been running around here all night long,
trying to get a piece of you,
and you keep slipping out the back door.
Well, Mark, I'm standing in the ring right here tonight,
and I know that you can hear me.
So, Mark…
why don't you bring yourself down here, bring yourself into the ring here?
And you and me, man-on-man,
let's end this thing, right here, right now.
Oh, and there's one more thing, Mark.
It's about time you got brought down to reality.
[electricity crackling]
-[Ross] Well… Uh-oh. -[audience clamoring]
Shamrock might get his wish, King.
I told you he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
[Ross] Nobody knows any more about reality
than Ken Shamrock from the Ultimate Fighting world.
-[Lawler] What's going on here? -I don't have a damn clue.
Waiting on The Undertaker to come out here, right?
Oh, my! He's there! Where'd he come from?
The Undertaker now hammering away at Shamrock!
[Lawler] I told you!
-What a reversal! -[audience cheering]
[Ross] Shamrock with a backlash of his own on The Phenom.
-[Lawler] Oh, no, look at this! -Here comes what's left of the Ministry.
The Acolytes, Mideon and Viscera!
They're gonna try to dismantle Shamrock.
[Lawler] He should've known better than to come out here alone.
[Ross] Shamrock has no fear!
But, my God, he cannot overcome these odds.
The Undertaker has too many followers, too many believers, JR.
[Shamrock screams]
[Ross] The Brood, conspicuously, one of them's absent
from the confrontation with the Ministry earlier.
-Come on, beat him! -Get him! Get him!
[Ross] Shamrock can't even defend himself. Enough is enough!
Come on, Taker, that's enough!
You're taking this whole damn thing too far!
And here comes the Corporation. Thank God. They're coming to help Shamrock.
Get Shamrock out of there. Show a little unity, Corporation.
Or some empathy or compassion or something.
It's a standoff here, King.
[Lawler] Wow.
-[Ross] Hey, wait! Come on! God almighty! -[Lawler] What?
[Ross] Shane McMahon having Shamrock punished!
-[Lawler] What is this? -[Ross] This is not right!
This is the explanation Shane McMahon talked to Shamrock about earlier.
[Lawler] Oh, look at that.
[Ross] Shane McMahon is like a maestro, conducting his corporate band.
Triple H! That is repulsive.
That kid, he's drunk with power.
Nightstick to the face. Good gosh.
And the Ministry is enjoying watching Shamrock get decimated.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[Ross] Wait a minute.
[audience clamoring]
Well, hell, I guess according to The Rock's flow,
it's taking a long time for that piece of trash to come.
The Rock couldn't really tell,
so what he's gonna do, he's going to throw this Stone Cold…
-[tires screeching] -[sniffing]
Well, The Rock smells trash.
Oh, well, look at this. Look at what we got going on here.
Biggest piece of Texas trailer park trash walking God's green Earth.
You want your precious belt? Well, there it is.
Bring your candy ass…
[Ross] Here we go. Here we go now. The fist fight is on!
Right here outside! The Rock and the Rattlesnake!
-[Lawler] Oh, no, no, no. -Go [beep] yourself, you piece of [beep].
-[Lawler] Look at this! -Go to hell.
-[Ross] Oh! -[Lawler yells]
[Ross] Oh, my God. God, no. [audience clamoring]
Austin, you want your belt? I'll tell you what, here it is,
and you take it to hell with you.
[Lawler yells] to hell with you.
