[Vince] SummerSlam, brought to you by ICOPRO.
ICOPRO, for everybody that cares about their body.
["Rondeau" by Jean-Joseph Mouret playing]
[fans cheering]
I think Mr. Perfect's gonna be in The Ultimate Warrior's corner today.
No way! He's gonna be on the side of "The Macho Man" Randy Savage.
-Shawn Michaels, we love you! -We love you, Shawn Michaels.
The British Bulldog's gonna win,
whether he wants to or not.
[fans chanting] Bulldog! Bulldog! Bulldog!
[crowd] Whoo!
["Rondeau" ends]
[ceremonial trumpet music playing]
[song ends]
[crowd roars]
[Vince] Over 80,000 fans
welcome you to the grandeur,
the spectacle,
the pageantry of SummerSlam!
[horns blare]
Hello, everyone, and welcome to SummerSlam.
I'm Vince McMahon along with Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.
Welcome to Wembley Stadium.
Welcome to London, England.
Indeed, we, uh…
What are you doing with that ridiculous-looking crown on?
Well, you little stupid peasant,
I happen to be Sir Bobby, the King of England.
Henry VIII would be rolling over in his grave,
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, if he could see this.
Nonetheless, the only thing royal about you
is you're a royal pain.
And speaking of a pain,
in whose corner is Mr. Perfect really going to be in?
The Ultimate Warrior's? Or is he going to be in the corner of The Macho Man?
Whoo!
Exactly. We're ready to begin the festivities here at SummerSlam.
The SummerSlam you thought you would never see.
[Heenan] You may bow.
-["It's All About The Money" playing] -♪ Money, money, money, money, money ♪
[Finkel] The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
Coming down the aisle with their manager,
"The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart,
at a total combined weight of 508 pounds,
here are "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase,
Irwin R. Schyster,
Money Incorporated!
[Vince] And you have to wonder what the net worth
of this tag team combination really is.
[Heenan] Well, when the Bank of England needs a credit line,
they come to Money Incorporated.
[Vince] What a tag team combination here.
DiBiase…
[Heenan] What do you think that suit cost him?
-That is beautiful. Beautiful. -[Vince] I have no idea.
[Heenan] But money doesn't matter to that man.
[Vince] The dollar signs,
signifying the tag team Money Incorporated.
They are hopeful of once again being tag team champions
given the opportunity.
[Heenan] Well, I think it's only a matter of time, McMahon,
because they're such a skill team, they both can wrestle, they can mix it up.
They can do whatever has to be done to win.
He's got the money and Irwin knows how to save it.
[Vince] Wait a minute.
It's a well-known fact
that if you British tax cheats
would pay your fair share,
you wouldn't put the burden on the Royal Family.
-[Heenan] Whoo. -[Vince] Could you believe that?
-["What a Rush" playing] -[crowd cheers]
-[Heenan] Uh-oh. -[Vince] Look at this!
80,000 fans!
Oh yeah!
Rocco, on his way to the ring.
[Heenan] The dummy's driving the bike!
[Vince] Rocco, along with Paul Ellering,
bringing up the rear there.
There's Hawk and Animal right behind.
What an entrance.
[Heenan] Oh, I'd like to watch that dummy for him.
[Vince] The Legion of Doom!
Ah, yeah!
[Finkel] Entering the ring, with their manager, Paul Ellering,
and Rocco,
from Chicago, Illinois,
at a total combined weight of 579 pounds,
Hawk, Animal,
The Legion of Doom!
[Vince] Hawk, Animal,
along with Paul Ellering and Rocco.
[Heenan] Does Rocco have a last name?
-[bell rings] -[Vince] Well, I don't know.
[Heenan] Just Rocco.
[Vince] This should be a tremendous tag team matchup kicking off SummerSlam.
[Animal] LOD!
[crowd chanting] LOD! LOD! LOD!
[Vince] The Legion of Doom,
known for their tremendous power.
Known however, as well, for their psychology in the ring.
[Heenan] Well, they're a very dangerous thing… Uh, team.
They don't care if they had to use those motorcycles to run over you.
They wanna win a match, and not only do they wanna win a match,
they like to hurt people. They're very dangerous.
[Vince] Then again, the same can be said
for "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster.
They like to hurt people as well.
[Heenan] And they like to embarrass people.
And they can embarrass Legion of Doom.
[Jimmy] Come on, baby, you got it.
[Vince] All right, so we're gonna have Ted DiBiase
starting off things for his team.
Likewise, Hawk, for LOD.
That's right, come on.
[Vince] And yes, keeping an eye on things…
LOD!
[Vince] …is Rocco.
[Jimmy] You got it, baby. Show him the smoke, baby.
Come on.
[crowd] LOD!
[Vince laughs]
[Vince] Hawk shouting to this capacity crowd.
Over 80,000 fans at jam-packed Wembley Stadium.
Later on, we'll have the official number, we know it's over 80,000.
[Heenan] Come on, Teddy, take it to him. Nail him. Nail him.
Chop him. Chop that Hawk right to the mat. Come on.
[Vince] Hawk to the buckle.
And The Million Dollar Man trying to set up… No. Again, reversal.
Off the rope.
And Ted DiBiase slides to the outside, trying to regroup.
[crowd boos]
[Vince] And here, I believe, it's… Oh, look out!
[Heenan] What a cheap shot that was!
[Vince] I believe DiBiase was trying to break the momentum
you made reference to earlier… Oh no! No, over the top rope to the outside.
My goodness.
And another one!
Yes indeed, action on the inside, action on the outside.
[crowd chanting] LOD! LOD! LOD!
[Vince] And DiBiase should tag out.
[Heenan] Jimmy, you gotta have a talk with them.
They're starting to get that momentum rolling.
[Vince] Well, is there going to be a reciprocating tag?
Does Animal… Yes, I do believe he begins
the matchup for his team now.
[Heenan] Now, did he tag out because he's afraid of IRS?
[Vince] Of course, that's exactly the reason.
-[Heenan] That's what I thought. -[Vince] Yeah, sure.
-[Heenan] You're being facetious. -[Vince] Uh-oh.
Fans about ringside shouting "Irwin."
[Heenan] That's his name, see how popular he is?
[Vince] But, uh, he's not all that fond of it himself.
Irwin, for the ride. Ooh, my, down to the buckle.
-Oh, on the hand! -[Heenan] He's standing on his tongue.
[Vince] Yes! That's not his tongue, it's his tie.
[Heenan] Couldn't tell from here.
-Wouldn't put it past him. -[Vince] Look at this.
Animal has Irwin in the air!
Unbelievable strength and power on the…
On the part of Animal.
The cover. One! We get… That's all he gets.
[Heenan] Irwin's no midget, he goes over 260 pounds.
[Vince] And Mr. Schyster
in a bit of trouble now.
Reaching for the tag, Hawk coming in. He's gonna come in, all right.
From the top rope, down across the arm.
[Jimmy] How can you let them make the tag?
-Come on, baby. -[Vince] Irwin R. Schyster,
trying to get something going for himself and does indeed!
The sleeper hold applied on Hawk.
[Jimmy] Put him out, baby. Put him out. Put him out.
[Heenan] Keep him in the corner, keep him on your side of the ring.
[Jimmy] He's out, baby, he's out! Come on, Irwin. Come on, Irwin.
[Heenan] Looks like Money Incorporated are about to
foreclose the mortgage on LOD.
[Vince] Amazing Hawk is still on his feet.
Huh, huh, huh.
[Vince] IRS really hanging on to the sleeper hold.
[Heenan] And it's not a choke. It's a good, legitimate sleeper hold.
[Vince] And unfortunately for LOD, Hawk is going down.
Down on one knee, and it's almost over.
-The official, right there to make sure… -[crowd chanting] LOD! LOD!
[Vince] …that that hold doesn't slide into a choke hold.
[Heenan] Ring the bell, ref. Ring the bell, he's out, he's had it.
-Ding, ding, ding. -[Vince] Wait a minute.
[Heenan] Ring the bell.
[Vince] Hawk is back to his feet.
[Heenan] His arm dropped once, that's it.
Come on, ring it. Twice, it's over.
[Vince] One more time and that'll do it, and…
[crowd cheers]
-[Heenan] Come on. -[Vince] How about this? Back to his feet.
Hawk has to get out of the ring somehow.
Backs Irwin R. Schyster to the buckle.
[Jimmy] Come on, baby.
[Vince] And now, IRS for the ride, comes out and a clothesline by Hawk.
I can't believe the resilience of Hawk.
[Heenan] Well, I can, because a sleeper hold
cuts off the blood to the brain, right?
[Vince] Yeah.
[Heenan] That bird up there on the top rope doesn't have a brain.
[Vince] Oh, look at that! I believe he missed.
I believe he missed with a clothesline.
My goodness, that was unbelievable.
[Heenan] I never saw a bird fall from the sky like that.
[Vince] Meanwhile, DiBiase has Hawk on the outside, a slam to the outside.
Right on the hip.
[Jimmy] Look at Rocco now!
[Vince] DiBiase continuing to pummel Hawk.
[Heenan] Now's a good opportunity for them to double-team them.
[Vince] What?
What do you think was going on?
[Heenan] Well, now DiBiase and Irwin can both--
[Vince] Reaching for the tag, and no.
DiBiase blocks the tag.
[Heenan] Keep him in your corner and get him down. Get him down.
[Vince] Hawk, double-teamed, to the buckle.
-[Heenan] Hawk is taking quite a beating. -[Vince] Indeed, he has.
IRS drops the elbow.
-[Heenan] You can never beat LOD enough. -[Vince] And another one.
What do you mean you can't beat them enough?
[Heenan] You can't beat them enough. They're fun to beat up.
[Vince] The cover, could be over, two, and…
No, a kick out by Hawk.
With authority, I might add.
And here comes DiBiase.
Unquestionably it is the team of Money Incorporated
that has that all-important momentum you made reference to earlier on.
[Heenan] They have it on their side now. They gotta keep Hawk in their corner.
They gotta make quick tags.
[Vince] Precisely the strategy of manager Jimmy Hart.
[Heenan] Look at this, McMahon.
Now, there is classic, good, scientific wrestling.
[Vince] IRS,
snatching Hawk down to the canvas.
Keeping him there. Riding him now, grinding him out.
[Heenan] Doesn't look like Hawk to me, it looks more like an old, dirty pigeon.
Or maybe a little sparrow.
[Vince] And look at this, no tag was made, referee's back is turned.
Will he throw DiBiase out?
-[Heenan] No, they made the tag. -[Vince] They did not!
[Heenan] If you're close enough, you don't have to tag.
[Vince] Yeah, sure.
Way to go, we've got them right where we want them now.
[Heenan] If you can reach a man, you don't have to touch him.
Just get in there and tag him. Just get in there and grab him.
[Vince] I see.
[Heenan] Watch, they're close enough. See?
[Vince] Oh, wait a minute. The very same thing just happened again.
[Heenan] They could've made the tag, it's not necessary.
[Vince] Yes, they could have, you're right.
-But they did not. -[Heenan] But then that's okay.
[Vince] Imagine how frustrating that is for Animal, who's looking on,
as his tag team partner is double-teaming…
being double-teamed, it's just…
Has to be terribly frustrating for Animal.
[Heenan] I know what Animal's doing.
He's glad he's not the one in there getting beat up.
[Vince] And a near fall there again. Animal
and Hawk must exchange.
Animal must get into the ring somehow.
Or else this matchup is gonna be over
very, very quickly, look at this!
[Heenan] I'm not sure Hawk even knows where he's at right now.
Whether it be London, England, or Des Moines, Iowa.
He hasn't got a clue.
[Vince] And Hawk, again, his efforts thwarted
by IRS.
-[Heenan] They are ringing his bell. -[Vince] They are, indeed.
[Heenan] Sounds like a cash register.
[Jimmy] He's out on his feet, baby.
Beautiful. What about that, Ellering?
Guess Rocco can't help you now, baby. Rocco can't help you now, big boy.
[Heenan] Sounds like Big Ben ringing, don't it?
[Vince] Oh, look at that! Collision, I think, however,
IRS got the worst of it, but I'm not certain.
[Heenan] No, he can make the tag.
He can make the tag because Animal…
I mean, Hawk doesn't have a clue where he's at.
[Vince] DiBiase, the legal man in the ring now.
And look at IRS a moment ago holding on to the foot of Hawk,
making sure he was unable to tag Animal.
[DiBiase laughs]
And a big laugh by DiBiase.
[Heenan] Money, money, money, money, money.
[Jimmy] Watch him, watch him.
[Heenan] No tag, nobody there.
-[Vince] There could've been a tag. -[Heenan] See? They're not a bright team.
They're a great tag team,
but they're not bright.
[Vince] DiBiase and IRS
doing an unbelievable job of distracting the official
and taking advantage
of the opposition when the official's back is turned.
[Heenan] Well, that's good tag team wrestling, McMahon.
-It's good business. -[Vince] I see.
[Jimmy] Only a matter of time, we got him, daddy.
[Vince] DiBiase
and Irwin R. Schyster wearing down Hawk.
-Not much left of Hawk at the moment. -[crowd chanting] Hawk! Hawk!
[Heenan] Looks like it's gonna be doom for Legion of Doom, don't it?
[Vince] Don't count him out yet. Oh, look at this!
Hawk getting closer to tagging his partner, Animal.
[Heenan] Hold him. Hold him.
[Vince] And again, an attempt, and yes.
DiBiase at the 265 mark, somewhere in that neighborhood,
trying to keep… Oh, a tag was made, however!
Irwin R. Schyster distracted the official.
[Heenan] The referee didn't see it.
[Vince] Double-team behind the official's back again.
[Heenan] Ring the bell.
[Vince] How much frustration can Animal take?
[Heenan] Why don't you send Rocco in to make the tag, Ellering?
Your little wooden dummy.
[Vince] And yes, tag is made, here comes DiBiase. Yes! Finally!
[Heenan] He made the tag!
[crowd cheers]
-[Vince] Off the rope, DiBia… -[Heenan] Wow!
[Vince] My goodness, what a tackle. Sky-high dropkick!
[Heenan] Animal is on fire.
[Vince] Hard right hand, a succession of… But look at this.
But from behind, IRS attacking. Get him out of there, official.
Double-team effort continues, right in front of the official's eyes.
-Double clothesline! -[crowd roars]
[Heenan] Come on, ref.
Get Hawk out of there.
[Vince] All four men in the ring at the same time.
-[Heenan] I think he's lost control. -[Vince] Oh!
Irwin R. Schyster has vacated the premises.
[Heenan] I don't think he had a choice.
[Vince] And look out, the reversal, the clothesline!
[crowd cheers]
[Vince] Somebody's going up.
[Heenan] He's signaling. Penthouse. Top floor.
[Vince] Oh no.
What a maneuver by IRS.
Saving DiBiase--
[Heenan] I'm not sure if it did save him.
That had to take a lot out of DiBiase too.
[Vince] Oh no!
Look at this! Power slam.
-One, two, three! -[Heenan] Come on, ref!
-[crowd roars] -[bell rings]
-["What a Rush" playing] -[Hawk, over speaker] What a rush!
[Finkel] Here are your winners,
The Legion of Doom!
-[Heenan] That stinks. -[Vince] What stinks?
[Heenan] Legion of Doom getting the win.
Four men were in the ring, the referee lost control.
Couldn't keep Animal out, he couldn't keep Hawk out.
Ellering was running around, he's got a little wooden dummy.
It wasn't fair, it's just not fair.
[Vince] What an ovation.
What a victory for The Legion of Doom.
Let's go back and take a look.
[Heenan] I don't wanna take a look at this.
What I wanna talk about is Money Inc.
They're gonna get their title shot regardless of what happened.
[Vince] Things getting off to a roaring start here at SummerSlam.
Let's take you to Mean Gene.
With me at this time, is the former World Wrestling Federation Champion,
the man who was disgruntled
the moment they announced the main event for SummerSlam.
For it was he who felt he should be the number one contender
to face "The Macho Man" Randy Savage.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair.
Rest assured, little man, it was not I alone
that was disgruntled over the fact
that the great Ric Flair was denied his opportunity
to regain the World Wrestling Federation Championship
right here at SummerSlam.
After all, when you're talking about the bright lights and the big cities,
you gotta be talking London, England.
And when you're talking SummerSlam,
and when you're talking the World Wrestling Federation,
you gotta be talking Ric Flair.
Whoo!
Ric Flair, I couldn't help but notice
you're wearing your robe and your wrestling attire.
What's going on here?
That's because anyone that knows anything about Ric Flair
knows that he stays ready for any kind of action.
And speaking of action, Ric Flair,
one man we know who's gonna be seeing action tonight
is your executive consultant, Mr. Perfect.
For it's public knowledge he's gonna be in the corner
of either "The Macho Man" Randy Savage,
or The Ultimate Warrior.
As a matter of fact, I saw you and Mr. Perfect
show up outside of Wembley Stadium earlier today
in a long limousine, Ric Flair.
You two have been embroiled in this controversy
of the main event since the day it was announced.
As a matter of fact, this match may end up going down in history
as the most controversial match
in World Wrestling Federation history.
Now then, Ric Flair. I'm gonna put you on the spot.
In whose corner will Mr. Perfect be tonight?
-[sly laugh] -Oh, come on.
Is it gonna be The Macho Man?
-[sly laugh] -Don't do this to me.
Is it gonna be The Ultimate Warrior?
[sly laugh]
Ric Flair, enough is enough.
Like the great Winston Churchill once said,
"Now is the time."
And now is the time we demand to know
the whereabouts of Mr. Perfect for SummerSlam.
Why, he's in the dressing room.
But whose dressing room?
The dressing room of the winner. Who else?
-Whoo! Whoo! -Oh, please.
Sean Mooney, let's get over to you.
Joining me now is Virgil, who is getting set to step into the ring
with unquestionably the cruelest man we have ever seen in the WWE,
the ex-convict, Nailz.
Nailz, I seen what you did to my friend The Big Boss Man.
You handcuffed him behind his back,
and you beat him like a dog, man.
Well, I survived all the toughest streets around the world, man.
And the biggest street I'm gonna survive is right out here
at Wembley Stadium, because you got to want it, man!
And, Nailz, my saying is
"Do unto you before you ever can do unto me,"
because I'm like all the good people here in London,
and all the good people around the world, man,
I am definitely too legit to quit!
Let the games begin.
No doubt if Virgil has his way,
crime will not pay in this encounter.
Virgil is set for action.
[Vince] Yes, indeed, crime may not pay here in this next matchup,
but we are still awaiting the answer as to
whose corner Mr. Perfect is going to be in.
[Heenan] Crime may not pay,
but Macho Man or The Ultimate Warrior are gonna pay.
It's simple, whoever wants to win the most has to pay the most.
[bell rings]
[Finkel] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Currently in the ring, weighing 302 pounds,
Nailz!
[crowd boos]
[Vince] My goodness.
[Heenan] How'd you like to share a cell with him?
[Vince] No, thanks.
[Finkel] His opponent,
weighing 250 pounds,
Virgil!
["Poetic Devastation" playing]
[Vince] Take a look at Virgil.
You talk about being in condition.
And if anyone can put Nailz to the test,
it has to be this man.
Virgil.
Virgil on the top rope,
getting a good look at his adversary
as 80,000-plus get a good look
at SummerSlam.
[Heenan] There's a lot more to this match than meets the eye.
Virgil has to…
He happens to be a very good personal friend of The Big Boss Man, you know.
[Vince] Indeed, he is.
And also an excellent street fighter, I might add.
[Heenan] Yeah, this is gonna be… You're not gonna see much wrestling here.
[ref] Two, three…
[Vince] Right away, the power of Nailz, look at this.
A right hand by Virgil.
Virgil's gonna have to stay away from Nailz if he has a chance in this matchup.
Reversal, Virgil to the buckle, coming up,
clothesline and Nailz is still up.
Dropkick, but he goes down. No, he doesn't, he's still on his feet.
Virgil now, trying to crowd him, trying to stay on the inside.
Not too sure that's the best thing to do against a man like Nailz.
[Heenan] Well, when Virgil hits you with a clothesline or a dropkick,
you usually go down. That shows you how tough this Nailz is.
He's as tough as nails.
[Vince] Off the rope, missing with the clothesline and…
Look at this, here we go, sunset… Oh, missing.
Oh, yes, one… He's gonna get him. No, he's not.
[Heenan] Look at that, look at that.
[ref] One, two, three, four.
[Heenan] That's pure raw determination.
[ref] One, two…
[Vince] I'm not so sure I know that it is.
[Heenan] Well, it's instinct.
This man had to fight to survive.
-He's a survivor. -[Vince] So has Virgil.
Oh no, Virgil over the top rope to the outside.
And Nailz is crawling underneath the bottom rope
escaping the ring, and stalking, I believe, Virgil.
-[Heenan] You use that word "escaping." -[Vince] Turn around!
Oh no. Ooh! To the buckle.
[Heenan] You use that word "escaping" like the guy's crawling under barbed wire.
[Vince] Right.
[Heenan] Like he's leaving the big house.
[Vince] Nailz, nonetheless, having the presence of mind
to roll back in before the count.
So as not to be counted out.
And unfortunately for Virgil, he is really paying a toll here.
As perhaps anyone would in the ring against
Nailz.
[Heenan] He doesn't have a whole lot of respect for officials or authority.
-But society did it to him. -[Vince] Oh, stop it.
Society did nothing to him.
He did it to himself.
[Heenan] It was Mother's Day, he parked a car at a florist's
to get his mother some flowers.
-[Vince] It's why he did time? -[Heenan] Got a parking ticket.
And didn't pay it, forgot to pay it.
That's why they locked him up.
[Vince] Right now, he's paying something else! Dues.
Virgil on a roll,
reversal by Nailz, and here he comes to hit…
Oh yes! Great move by Virgil.
But, however, Virgil finds himself once again on the canvas.
[Heenan] When he looks at Virgil, he sees The Big Boss Man, I know it.
[Vince] You can bet, The Big Boss Man is looking on
with great interest in this matchup.
Ah, come on, that appears to be a blatant choke hold.
That's a choke, ref!
[Heenan] No, I can see his Adam's apple from here, it's fine.
It's a sleeper. You know that.
Don't you know your holds?
[Vince] That's a sleeper?
[Heenan] I have to send you to school so you can learn some stuff.
[Vince] Right now, I believe it's Virgil going to school.
-The school of hard knocks. -[bell rings]
And, yes.
-I guess it's… -[Heenan] Nailz is sending a message.
He's sending a message to The Big Boss Man.
[Vince] Is Virgil out?
[Finkel] Here is your winner,
Nailz!
[Heenan] No, he won the match.
He won the match.
[Vince] A gallant effort on the part…
Uh-oh, wait a minute.
All right.
Mr. Official,
let's get Nailz out of the ring.
-He's looking down on Virgil-- -[Heenan] I know what he's doing.
When he sees Virgil's head, it looks like a cricket ball.
-[Vince] What? -[Heenan] Looks like a cricket ball.
He's gonna hit it right out of Wembley Stadium, watch this.
Batter up.
[Vince] Come on, ref, get in there, you know… Oh no!
[Heenan] Hit him right in the wickets.
[Vince] Come on!
Even some of the officials in the WWE are intimidated by Nailz.
There's no call for this. Come on, get him out of there.
[Heenan] Hit him again.
You can hit him all you want, the match is over.
Oh, a good soccer kick.
-[Vince] Nailz, victorious. -[crowd boos]
[Vince] Oh my. Take a look at that kisser.
Standing by right now, ladies and gentlemen,
from the UK,
with a special report, here is Lord Alfred Hayes.
I have been investigating the whereabouts of Mr. Perfect
since he arrived on the scene with Ric Flair.
I cannot confirm the rumors
that he is actually inside The Macho Man's dressing room.
I can confirm, however,
that this door has been locked
for some time and nobody is answering.
However, undaunted,
I shall continue this investigation
for the whereabouts of Mr. Perfect.
In the meantime,
over to you, Mean Gene.
All right, next up here at SummerSlam,
Rick "The Model" Martel
squares off against Shawn Michaels one-on-one.
With me at this time, my special guest
is frequent companion of Shawn Michaels, Sensational Sherri.
Sherri, you look ravishing tonight for SummerSlam.
You know, I vividly recall how this entire thing
all began some time ago.
It happened when Shawn Michaels
ended up at ringside at a big match for Rick "The Model" Martel.
Rick Martel was meeting Bret "The Hitman" Hart.
A very rare opportunity for him to become Intercontinental Champion.
When all of a sudden, Michaels interferes,
and guess what happens.
Rick "The Model" Martel gets disqualified.
If that were not enough, a guest appearance ringside
by a very arrogant "Model" Rick Martel.
As he observes the action,
you look at him,
he looks at the action and he looks at you,
and I couldn't help detect, Sherri,
that The Model very affectionately gave you a wink.
I think you were a little alarmed initially,
but later on, our cameras were fortunate enough
to pick up,
yes, I believe you were winking back at The Model.
And then, Sensational Sherri,
goodness sakes alive, I couldn't believe it,
when Rick "The Model" Martel
was in action in the center of the ring,
you arrive with that beautiful, flowing designer dress.
I don't know if you were measuring him up,
or if this was just a diversionary tactic.
But nonetheless, Sensational Sherri,
we are moments away
from the big match in front of the capacity crowd
here at Wembley Stadium.
And I've gotta ask you, quite frankly,
you were the one responsible for the special stipulations.
You insisted that neither man would hit each other in the face.
That's right, Mean Gene,
and you know Sensational Sherri always gets what she wants.
Both men are extremely handsome.
Both men possess the most exquisite features,
and speaking on the, uh, side of the softer sex,
if you know what I mean,
I see no reason why either one should hurt themselves,
therefore, both men have agreed
not to hit each other in the face.
Okay, enough. Sherri,
just exactly where do you stand for tonight's matchup?
I stand just like any other good woman, Mean Gene.
I'm gonna stand right by my man.
-[Michaels] Sherri, let's go. -Yes, Shawn.
On her way, Sensational Sherri.
Let's get back to ringside.
[Finkel] Currently in the ring, from Cocoa Beach, Florida,
weighing 234 pounds,
"The Model" Rick Martel!
[Vince] Well, well, well, take a look at this.
Tennis, anyone?
[Heenan] It's obvious to me, McMahon,
that someone is going to be broken at love.
[Vince] I think Mr. Martel, uh, is a little mixed up… Oh, that's very cute.
Wimbledon was about two months ago here in the UK.
I think maybe he's thinking more about the US Open.
[Heenan] Eat your heart out, Andre Agassi.
[Vince] What?
[Heenan] Yeah, that joker.
Eat your heart out, Andre Agassi.
[Vince] Did he hear what you just…
[Heenan] I think so.
["Sexy Boy" playing]
[Vince] Two of the most conceited individuals
in the entire World Wrestling Federation are about ready to lock up.
[Heenan] Look at the size of that mirror.
[Finkel] His opponent,
accompanied down the aisle
by the Sensational Sherri,
from San Antonio, Texas,
weighing 240 pounds,
Shawn Michaels!
[Vince] Think you can see through those peepers?
-[Heenan whistling to the music] -[Vince] Would you stop it?
-[Heenan] Come on, everybody. -[Vince] All right, who is more conceited?
Michaels, or Martel?
[Heenan] Well, we know it's not Howard Finkel.
[Vince] Well, that's a good point. Nonetheless, what about this provision?
No hitting in the face, give me a break.
This isn't the sixth grade.
This is the World Wrestling Federation.
[Heenan] But do you think either of these competitive athletes
are gonna abide by that rule?
[Vince] No, I don't.
I don't believe that at all.
[Heenan] But if Sherri promised him something,
you never know, maybe a date, maybe a
dinner?
[Vince] Dinner?
[Heenan] You know, love conquers all, McMahon.
[Vince] I suppose.
[Heenan resumes whistling]
[Vince] And of course, Sensational Sherri, being the softer sex,
as she said earlier.
[Heenan] She's soft, all right.
[Vince] Oh my goodness, what happened to…
There's a part of Sherri's outfit
that's missing, I believe.
Yes, there is.
That's too bad.
Moths, huh?
[Heenan] Worst case of moths I've ever seen in my life.
[Vince] But look at "The Model" Rick Martel
checking out Sherri
as Shawn Michaels, a moment ago, was checking out himself.
[Heenan] Listen to all the people singing "Moon Over Miami." Huh?
[Vince] So Michaels and Martel will lock up.
And I would suggest that Sensational Sherri is the kind of lady,
if you would,
that is likely to leave with the winner.
This is not The Dating Game, that's for sure.
As you see Sensational Sherri
assisting Shawn Michaels.
[Heenan] I think when she goes to the dance with you, she comes home with you.
She's not that kind of a girl.
-She loves this guy, anyway. -[Vince] Look at this.
The Model, looking on.
[crowd murmuring and whistling]
[Vince] What is going on? This may be the highlight of the match.
[Heenan] She's just taking her time.
He's enjoying himself.
He's standing there letting 80,000 people
take a look at Shawn Michaels.
[Vince] Yeah.
A little strategy session
there just a moment ago, and we are ready for the match to get underway.
No hitting in the face, we understand that, yes.
Locked up here, side
headlock, standing side headlock
and off the rope, no, hanging on to the hair, I think.
[Heenan] This is gonna be a great match, because they're about the same size,
same speed, same knowledge of the sport.
[Vince] Should be a great one. Off the rope, ooh, nice maneuver by Michaels.
Martel right back at it, leapfrogging Michaels, he's gonna pick him back up, no!
[Heenan] Looked like the inside of a cheap watch. Everything just kept moving.
Boy, they have some moves.
-Shawn, stay on him. -[Heenan] Sherri's got some moves too.
-[Sherri] Come on, Shawn. -[Vince] Yes, I suppose so.
[Heenan] Like her to move to your neighborhood?
[Vince] Thank you, no.
And now, Michaels for the ride.
Missing with the clothesline, Martel missing again.
Michaels off the rope, and between the legs, nice maneuver
and dropkick, down goes Martel.
[Heenan] Now, no dropkicking in the face, is that okay?
-Can you dropkick in the face? -[Vince] Whoa, from behind!
[Heenan] They'll do anything to win, Martel and Shawn Michaels.
[Vince] And a knee to the midsection, and another one.
Michaels out in front, Martel to the buckle, no he puts…
Whoa, what a maneuver!
An attempt at a flying body press, it backfired.
-Did he hit his face? -[Heenan] I don't know.
I can't tell from here.
He's a very handsome man, both of them.
[Vince] Over goes Martel.
Michaels, working on the wrist.
And a snatch of the hair.
-Martel isn't gonna-- -[Heenan] Whoa!
[Vince] Here we go. He's going to hit him in the-- Look at that.
And another nip-up and… Oh yeah!
Nip-up and… Whoa.
As you said before, I believe somewhere here in this matchup
we're gonna see someone clobber the other one.
Leapfrog by Martel, trying to catch Michaels on the far side,
right back up now, over the top!
For the ride!
[mixture of cheers and boos]
[Heenan] Now, did he land on his face?
I guess you just can't punch each other in the face.
Sherri, is she concerned for her man.
[Vince] Really?
[Heenan] Oh, I think so.
-She's in love. -[Vince] I saw the way she was admiring
"The Model" Rick Martel, earlier on.
Who's going out to the outside. Uh-oh, what's gonna happen here?
From behind, and…
The Model with a tap on the…
What's this?
Michaels is down.
-Sherri checks… -[Heenan] She's going with The Model.
-[Vince] …Michaels out, and… -[Heenan] She's going with The Model!
[Vince] And you see Martel checking Sherri out.
-Whoa, look at the hug. -[crowd cheers]
[Vince] And she likes it.
[Heenan] Likes it? She loves it!
[Vince] She likes it, look at this.
[ref] Get in the ring, Model.
[Vince] I'm not so sure if she's gonna like that, however.
[Heenan] Martel does have a way with the ladies.
[Vince] I suppose he does.
[Heenan] So does Shawn Michaels.
-So do I. -[Vince] What?
-[Heenan] Oh, I'm… I'm a heartthrob. -[Vince] Lady giraffes.
Off the rope… Oh, what a back body drop.
[Heenan] He almost back-dropped him out of Wembley Stadium.
-[Vince] Nothing to it, Martel says. -[Heenan] Piece of cake.
-[Vince] Yeah. -[Heenan] A piece of crumpet.
[Vince] Shawn Michaels in trouble now. Off the rope, and Martel missing.
Look at this. Driving to the rope now, Michaels,
and the scoop, one! Pulling the tights.
Referee right there to see it. Whoa, look at this!
One, and…
Martel's pulling the tights. And again.
My goodness. There are more moons here in London, England,
than there are on any other planet. Look at this.
[Heenan] I've never seen so many smiles in all my life.
[Vince] My goodness, talk about cheek to cheek.
[scattered catcall whistles from crowd]
[Vince] Oh!
To the midsection.
What a matchup between Martel and…
Oh! Kick to the chest area.
[Heenan] He didn't kick him in the face, though.
[Vince] The cover! One, we get two and…
Kick out by Martel.
[Heenan] This can't go on much longer. They're gonna start punching.
[Michaels groans]
[ref] One, two…
[Heenan] Just normal instincts would have you punch in the face.
[Vince] Indeed.
Shawn Michaels, with "The Model" Rick Martel.
What a matchup thus far. Oh, right…
And that one went right into the kisser.
Here's a cover. Wait a minute, ref.
-Wait a minute, look at this. -[Sherri] Come on, leave him alone!
[Vince] Both individuals cheating as much as they possibly can.
Both individuals want to win this matchup.
Perhaps they both want to win the honor of Sherri.
One, two, and…
-Whoa. -[Heenan] Whoa.
And what tremendous condition they're in.
-[Vince] Uh-oh. -[Heenan] Here we go.
[Vince] Starting to get heated.
Say what you will about their ethics,
they are two…
-Oh, there's a slap! -[Heenan] That's it. That's it.
-[Heenan] He punched him! -[Vince] No, it was an open hand.
He slapped him right in the face.
And Sherri standing up behind him, I believe.
-[Heenan] Martel slapped him. -[Vince] Sherri is upset.
-[Sherri] No! -[Vince] Sherri's saying, "No, no!"
Wait, what happened? What happened to Sherri?
-[Heenan] She fainted! -[Vince] She what?
[Heenan] She's out like a light!
She fainted!
She couldn't stand it to see both of them slap each other in the face.
She knew what was next.
-She is out. -[Vince] She fainted?
-[Heenan] Believe me, I know when-- -[Vince] Oh!
[Heenan] I know when a woman faints, believe me.
[Michaels] You all right?
[Vince] I don't know, I can't imagine, did she have a heart attack or what?
[Heenan] Give her mouth-to-mouth restitution.
[Vince] Mouth-to-mouth what?
[Heenan] You know, when you revive them.
[Vince] Uh-oh.
-[Michaels] Hey. Wake up. -[Vince] The match has stopped…
Well, it hasn't stopped at all. Martel wants to help her out.
Martel…
trying to bring Sherri back around.
-[Heenan] Hold my headset, let me help. -[Vince] You sit right here.
-Hey, what's going on? -What is your problem, huh?
What is your problem?
[Vince] Oh, right in the kisser!
[Heenan] He nailed him right in the mouth.
[Vince] Right in the kisser!
Oh, look at this!
The referee is still counting both men.
But they're going at it tooth and nail.
They don't care about Sherri.
Wait a minute. Sherri…
-Did you see that? -[Heenan] She moved.
-She moved. -[Vince] Both men…
Both men counted out.
-[Heenan] She's fixing her hair. -[Vince] And Sherri…
She was fixing… She is…
Look at this. She's watch…
[Heenan] She fainted again.
[Vince] She didn't faint.
She was watching these two men
I believe fight over her, and…
[Heenan] Think that's deliberate, what she's doing?
[Vince] I'm not so sure.
[Heenan] I better go revive her, McMahon.
[Vince] You sit right here.
[crowd shrieking]
[Vince] Shawn Michaels
and "The Model" Rick Martel, going at it.
And I'm not so sure whether she fainted again.
I mean, come on, she looked to me like she was completely conscious
as if she knew exactly what she was doing.
[Heenan] Nope, nope. She's out.
She's out cold.
[Vince] Well, what's gonna happen now?
[Heenan] He's gonna revive her.
[Vince] Shawn Michaels with Sherri, and…
Well, he's kinda dragging her somewhat, uh,
well, unladylike, but…
What is this?
[Heenan] He's taking her back to the dressing room.
[Vince] Yes, I suppose… Oh my goodness.
Was that Jupiter?
[Heenan] No, it's the moon.
[Vince] Well… sort of a
uncharacteristic way for… for Sherri to be leaving the ring area.
Boy, in the States there's a television show known as Twin Peaks, but…
-[Heenan] Cheeks? -[Vince] No.
-[Heenan] Peaks. -[Vince] This is… bordering on the absurd.
Look out, here comes The Model, oh, right in the kisser!
[Heenan] He knocked them both out, doubleheader.
[Vince] Martel just nailed Shawn Michaels.
[Heenan] He's gonna piledrive Sherri.
-[Vince] He's gonna what? -[Heenan] Is he gonna piledrive Sherri?
-[Vince] Not now, no. -[Heenan] He's taking her back.
[Vince] Yes.
[mixture of cheers and boos]
[Vince] And "The Model" Rick Martel
is leaving with Sensational Sherri.
I can't believe that she's been unconscious all this time.
-She wasn't-- -[Heenan] She's out!
-[Vince] Huh? -[Heenan] She's out.
She saw them fighting, she saw them slapping--
[Vince] From behind, wait a minute. Oh, they both go down again.
Shawn Michaels nailing "The Model" Rick Martel from behind.
Oh no, look at this.
-[Heenan] Why don't they roll her back? -[Vince] People falling all over.
And… Oh no.
They're trying to…
Shawn Michaels again has…
has Sherri, and they're escorting "The Model" Rick Martel back through
the drapes, back to the dressing room.
Oh, here we go.
Now, wait a minute, if she were unconscious,
could she hold on
-to Shawn Michaels' neck like that? -[Heenan] Instinct.
[Vince] Instinct?
What a minute, here comes The Model!
He has a… He has a…
-What is that? -[Heenan] Sand? Dirt?
[crowd cheering]
[Vince] Oh no! What's he gonna do?
What…
"The Model" Rick Martel.
[Heenan] There's water in there or something.
[Vince] Sensational Sherri is doused!
[Heenan] He's revived her!
She's alive!
McMahon, she's alive!
[Vince] She's not only alive…
Oh, look at this.
No!
-[Vince] She can't believe… -No!
[Vince] …what has backfired on her.
-She has been humiliated. -No!
-[Vince] Oh my goodness. -No!
[Heenan] In front of 80,000 people!
[Vince] The flame of love has been extinguished.
Coming up next, the tag team championship matchup,
The Beverly Brothers squaring off against The Natural Disasters.
However, standing by right now,
is the one and the only, Sean Mooney.
[Heenan] Who?
[all laughing maniacally]
I can't believe…
With me presently are The Nasty Boys, Knobbs and Sags,
and their manager, Jimmy Hart.
Hey! Hey!
Did you see the mascara running off that dog's face?
It was like an oil slick on the Thames.
I'm sure you didn't come here to--
I thought the Wicked Witch of the West
melted when she got wet. [cackles]
Gentlemen, you are quick to laugh at others' misfortune,
but I can assure you, the upcoming battle for the tag team championship
is no laughing matter.
You're damn right it ain't no laughing matter.
Matter of fact, it's a nasty, nasty situation.
Ultimate Warrior, "Macho Man" Randy Savage,
the biggest, baddest tag team in the World Wrestling Federation
got Nastycized,
and now, we're the number one contenders.
Why don't we have the title shot?
In the name of the Queen of England,
I don't know why we don't have a title shot.
I'll tell you what, Natural Disasters,
you're gonna get Nasty… We have a title shot, right, Jimmy?
-We have one. -[Mooney] How about it, Jimmy?
I want a title shot, he wants a title shot.
Well, of course, that's Money Inc., and…
Well, of course you'll get a title shot! Of course you'll get one.
-Of course you'll get a title shot. -Yeah! Yeah!
[Vince] Indeed,
awaiting.
The Beverly Brothers
will meet The Natural Disasters.
We're at Wembley Stadium in London, England.
[Heenan] The Beverly Brothers have been lucky all their life.
They've been wealthy, they've had everything they wanted.
They've kind of, uh, kind of walked into this title shot, McMahon.
-They are gonna win the belt. -[bell rings]
[Finkel] This contest, scheduled for one fall,
is for the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Championship.
In the ring, with their manager, The Genius,
from Shaker Heights, Ohio,
at a total combined weight of 527 pounds,
Beau and Blake,
The Beverly Brothers!
[crowd boos]
And now, a poem from The Genius.
[Vince] My favorite.
From the home of the Olympic Games of 1948
And the World Cup of 1966, I know the date
Now it's SummerSlam at Wembley And The Genius holds the key
Behold, the future champions The Brothers Beverly
-[Heenan] Wow! -[Vince] What do you mean, wow?
[Heenan] What a poem.
[Vince] He's no William Shakespeare, that's for sure.
-[Heenan] He's The Genius. -[Vince] He certainly is.
["Quake Shake" playing]
[Vince] But wait a minute, there's a rumbling going on here
at Wembley Stadium.
[Heenan] I would say 10 on the Richter scale.
[Finkel] …here are the World Wrestling Federation
tag team champions,
Earthquake, Typhoon,
The Natural Disasters!
[Vince] The Natural Disasters, tag team champions,
ready to lock up with the number one contenders
The Beverly Brothers. Perhaps the championship will change here
at Wembley Stadium.
[Heenan] Well, I'll tell you how it can't.
If The Beverly Brothers try to match them with strength and size,
well, it's not gonna happen. They've got to outrun them.
They've got to make The Natural Disasters get winded.
Then they've got to get them down.
Then they've got to work them. They've got to use fast tags.
They've got to make them run out of gas.
[Vince] Some 50 tons of scaffolding equipment overhead.
-[Heenan] That's The Natural Disasters. -[Vince] What?
[Heenan] No, that's The Natural Disasters.
[Vince] The belts held high by The Natural Disasters.
-[Heenan] They weigh 50 tons? -[bell rings]
[Vince] Stop it.
Oh, look at this. Right away,
the Beverlys attacking The Natural Disasters.
[Heenan] Guess that's before breakfast.
[Vince] Beau and Blake taking it to the tag… No.
-[Heenan] Whoa! -[Vince] Whoa! Oh my good… Whoa!
Look out.
Oh, forget about it.
[Heenan] Club sandwich.
[Vince] Beau and Blake having their problems
here in the early going of the matchup.
[Heenan] The Natural Disasters, they're gonna use their weight to their advantage.
[Vince] Oh my goodness.
[Heenan] Beverlys have to move.
[Vince] Talk about the Earl of Sandwich.
[Heenan whistles]
[Vince] Off the rope, elbow.
And Typhoon asserting himself.
Blake up, slammed down by Typhoon.
Oh my goodness.
[Heenan] Oh.
They've gotta get back to their corners and make fast tags.
[Vince] Ooh! Oh, look at that, though.
-[Heenan] Looked like the Hindenburg. -[Vince] It did.
A big, big man here. Typhoon.
-[Blake grunts] -[Vince] Oh, forget about that.
Another attempt? Get real.
Wait a minute, he gets him up! But no.
-[Heenan] He can't hold him. -[Vince] One, two, three! Yeah… No.
Uh-oh. All four men in the ring.
Or there was all four in the ring a moment ago.
To the buckle, and Typhoon moving in.
Things certainly not going well for The Beverly Brothers.
[chuckles]
Look at this.
[crowd cheers]
[Vince] They're in the starting gate.
And they're off!
-Oh! No! -[Heenan] Oh!
[Vince] How about that?
[Heenan] Like two freight trains colliding.
[Vince] Very cleaver maneuver there on the part of The Beverly Brothers a moment ago.
[Heenan] They've got him down, you gotta keep him down.
-[Vince] Whoa! -[Heenan] What a move.
[Vince] High-risk maneuver on the part of The Beverly Brothers, two and…
Oh my! What a kick out.
[Heenan] These men are so powerful.
-[Vince] And the Beverlys-- -[Heenan] Wait, McMahon, shut up.
-[Vince] What is it? -[Heenan] I've got a message here.
[Vince] What?
[Heenan] Ladies and gentlemen,
Shawn Michaels has left Wembley Stadium.
Those guys are so fat. It's repulsive.
[Vince] Shawn Michaels left Wembley Stadium is your important announcement?
[Heenan] Yes, I was just handed that.
[Vince] I see.
[ref] Come on, come on, get down.
[Vince] Off the rope, what a maneuver.
Again, Beau and Blake, I believe realize
they're gonna have to perform these high-risk maneuvers
if in fact they have a chance of winning the tag team championship.
Cover. We have one, two, and yet another kick out.
Beau will try his hand now. Blake tagging out.
-Uh-oh. -[Heenan] Uh-oh.
[Vince] And down into the back!
[Heenan] Like riding a Clydesdale.
[Vince] London Bridge is falling down.
[Heenan] No, that's, uh, Typhoon.
Is it Buffoon or Typhoon?
-[Vince] What? -[Heenan] I'm sorry.
Making a journalistic comment.
[Vince] A journalistic comment?
I see.
[Heenan] Ride the mechanical buffoon.
[Vince] Beverly Brothers taking full advantage of every opportunity.
Both men in the ring, no legal tag. Oh, look at that.
[Heenan] You can take Typhoon to a park and charge kids to ride him.
Just like those mechanical, uh, horses they have.
[Vince] And a frequent tag by The Beverly Brothers,
they're trying to wear the big man down.
Trying to keep Typhoon from tagging his partner, Earthquake.
Doing a pretty good job of it thus far.
[Heenan] Well, they've got their plan.
They're making fast tags, keeping them in the corner,
they've cut the ring in half
and they haven't let him really get on his feet.
[fan's horn blares]
[Vince] And The Beverly Brothers, looking pretty good.
[Heenan] They look like championship material to me.
[Vince] I don't know about that.
[Heenan] I just said it. I just said so.
[Vince] Yeah, well, that's your opinion.
The King of England, give me a break.
When are you gonna take that ridiculous-looking crown off?
[Heenan] It's my crown.
[Vince] Yeah, before the night is over, you may be crowned, all right.
[Heenan] King Bobby the First. Has a good ring to it.
[Vince] It does?
[Heenan] Why are you kneeling on one knee in front of me?
-[Vince] Sure. -[Beau] Get him.
[Vince] The Beverly Brothers continue the double-team effort.
[Heenan] You know royalty.
[The Genius] The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
[Vince] Oh, look at this.
Off the rope, yes!
That should do it.
-That could do it. No, they don't. -[Heenan] They got it.
[Vince] A kick out by Typhoon.
[Heenan] When's the last time you saw Typhoon take a beating like this?
[Vince] I don't… Can't recall.
[Heenan] So many teams vying for that number one spot. Nasty Boys, LOD.
Money Incorporated, everybody wants a shot at that title.
Agh!
[Heenan] I think we're gonna see new champions.
[Vince] Thus far, the strategy of The Beverly Brothers has…
has paid off quite well.
Typhoon must tag his partner, Earthquake,
and does, indeed. Uh-oh, wait a minute.
The official a bit confused, he's putting the wrong man out of the ring.
[Heenan] Don't start jumping up and down.
You'll break the ring.
[Vince] From the top rope down the small of the back.
[Heenan] Turn him over and pin him. We've got new champions.
Don't waste your time, Beau.
Or Blake.
[Vince] And a kick to the ribs.
[Beau grunts]
[Vince] The Beverlys-- What?
[Heenan] He'd be a heck of a soccer player over here.
[ref] …three, four. One…
-[Typhoon groans] -[Vince] Oh, look at that.
The rope clearly on the… Come on.
This official needs to be far more assertive.
Look at this.
More than perhaps anything else,
cutting the wind off will sap the strength from the body immediately.
No matter how big the body.
[Heenan] You don't have to be a doctor to know that.
[Vince] So the double-team effort continues,
there was a legal tag, I believe.
Wait a minute, come on, ref.
[Heenan] They got a count of five to get out.
-[Vince] Yeah. Not 500. -[Heenan] Five for each man, I think.
[Vince] Oh! A desperation attempt on the part of Typhoon.
[Heenan] Don't let Earthquake get in that ring.
Stop him, Beverlys.
[Vince] And indeed, I believe they have.
Earthquake would like nothing better
than to give Wembley Stadium
its first register of the Richter scale.
Look at this, but no.
Typhoon catches a Beverly Brother in midair.
From the top, dropkick, referee turns around.
-[Heenan] We got it! -[Vince] And the cover… Oh!
[Heenan] Oh!
Was that close!
[Vince] That was very, very close.
And The Beverly Brothers…
doing what they have to do
to attempt to win this… Oh, look at that.
[crowd cheers]
Typhoon,
getting closer and closer
to The Earthquake.
[Heenan] Come on, Beverlys, keep him down. That's right.
[Vince] Hey, wait a minute, what's that? Beau is distracting The Earthquake.
Meanwhile, The Genius just handed Blake that metal scroll!
-Beau is over with The Earthquake. -[Heenan chuckles]
[Vince] And Blake is in the ring, getting closer and closer
to Typhoon with that metal scroll.
He's got it back, oh no!
[Heenan] Here we go. We got new champions.
-[Vince] Oh, and The Genius… No, no. -[Heenan] Ring the bell.
[Vince] Don't win the championship this way.
-[Heenan] Get in there, referee. -[Vince] Don't win it this way.
Oh, and they're not gonna win it that way at all.
Earthquake, taking matters into his own hands.
[Heenan] They're both out. They're out cold.
[Vince] All Typhoon has to do
is sit up and tag his partner.
[Heenan] You're asking a lot for him to do a sit-up.
[Vince] And The Beverly Brothers make the tag.
-[Heenan] He's… Oh no! -[crowd roars]
[Vince] Now let's see what's gonna happen.
[Heenan] Listen to these people.
[Vince] Earthquake. Oh my, nice hip toss.
Oh, look at that. Belly to belly.
[Heenan] Never seen him do that.
-Uh-oh. -[Vince] And that's just about all over!
[Heenan] He usually means that means extra pickle. I think.
[Vince] What? Hold the lettuce?
-Here we go. -[Heenan] Heavy on the mayo.
[Vince] Shoulder block, another one.
Whoa, my. To the chest.
Wait a minute, from behind. The Beverly Brothers now
attempting to double-team The Earthquake.
Off the rope… [chuckles]
[Heenan] Bowling for dollars.
[Vince] That would have been a strike.
Over the top, to the outside, Earthquake in there.
[Heenan] This isn't fair, it's eight against one.
[Vince] Uh-oh, what's gonna happen now?
[Heenan] It's eight against one, it's ten against one.
[Vince] Whoa, yes!
And it looks like it is trouble.
[Heenan] Whoa-ho.
[Vince] Big trouble!
[Heenan] I just saw 63 people fly out of their seats.
-[Vince] Look at this! -[Heenan] Hold on.
My crown's fell off!
[Vince] Off the rope and down!
One, two, three!
-[crowd roars] -[bell rings]
[Heenan] I can't hear you, this is deafening.
Hello.
[Vince] The Genius,
motioning over to the official, complaining about something.
-Will there be a reversal? -[Heenan] Oh no, they got The Genius.
They've got The Genius.
[Vince] The Genius doesn't look so scholarly at the moment.
What's gonna happen now? What's this?
No! From the top rope.
[Finkel] The winners of this bout…
[Vince] The Genius, landing somewhere over in Oxford,
and there you see, yes, the winners of the matchup.
[Finkel] …The Natural Disasters!
["Shake Quake" playing]
[Vince] So Earthquake and Typhoon
victorious before this capacity crowd,
over 80,000-strong
at Wembley Stadium.
Let's go back to the replay.
[Heenan] And check out this cheap shot by Earthquake here.
I don't know if there's been an earthquake in London, England,
but that's a full-blown 10 on the Richter scale.
[Vince] Everybody's having a great time here thus far,
except The Beverly Brothers. Let's take you to Mean Gene.
Whoa!
With me at this time are Luke and Butch, The Bushwhackers.
Gentlemen, celebrating the festivities here at SummerSlam.
Oh, g'day, Mean Gene. Oh, boy.
And we're having super fun right here at SummerSlam.
And, you know, we still don't know what's coming up.
Whose corner Mr. Perfect's gonna be in, Mean Gene.
You know, there are a lot of rumors flying here in the World Wrestling Federation.
And dare I say, Luke, that one of them involves you.
-Me, Mean Gene? -Yes.
I understand there is a dentist here in London
who is trying to sell you a London bridge.
I don't need no London bridge, mate.
-No, he don't need that, no. -Speaking of rumors, Butch.
I'm gonna have you touch this.
I hear through the grapevine that you and Luke have been invited
to a very extraordinary dinner
at the request of the Royal Family at Buckingham Palace.
Hey, Mean Gene! Shh. Ease up, mate. Hey.
Cool, mate. Only Luke and I
and now you know that one, Mean Gene.
Keep it a secret. Oh! And we're looking forward to that.
And they're gonna have The Bushwhackers' favorite meal.
-Right, Cousin Luke? -That's right, Cousin Butch.
Royal salads served on royal china.
Oh yeah, and you know, Cousin Luke,
after we've had our royal meal,
oh, rumor has it. Cousin Luke, rumor has it.
Rumor has it that we may get to sit on the Royal Throne.
Hey, Cousin Butch, did you bring something to read?
-Oh yeah. I got my WWE… -Oh, give me a break…
[Vince] Well, the hunt continues for the presence of Mr. Perfect.
With that in mind, let's take you now
to, yes, as we said before, Britain's own Lord Alfred Hayes.
My exhaustive search
to locate the whereabouts of Mr. Perfect
has come to an end.
I have reason to believe
that Mr. Perfect is inside The Ultimate Warrior's dressing room.
Now, I'm going to breach my own code of ethics.
I'm not going to knock on the door,
I'm just going to open it
and surprise them.
Well, I must say.
Now, that doesn't necessarily mean
that Mr. Perfect is inside that dressing room,
but it certainly was a shocking and vulgar act of rudeness.
And now, back to the ringside.
[Vince laughing]
[Heenan] This fugi-- This fugitive from Scotland Yard, Lord Alfred Hayes,
talks about rudeness, he didn't even knock,
he just goes in somebody's dressing room.
He could be, uh, he could be going through their bags.
[Vince] Oh, he's very tenacious, and speaking of tenacious,
yes, these two competitors going at it,
Repo Man and Crush.
[Finkel] This contest is scheduled for one fall.
Currently in the ring, from the Motor City,
weighing 286 pounds,
Repo Man!
[Vince] I wonder what he's gonna repossess over here.
Whoa!
-["The Kona Crush" playing] -[crowd cheers]
[Heenan] This man is big.
[Vince] He is big and he is bad as well.
[Heenan] What does he stand? 6'8"? 6'7"? 6'10"?
[Vince] He's a monster of a man for sure.
[Finkel] His opponent, from Kona, Hawaii,
weighing 315 pounds,
Crush!
[Vince] Crush, a long way from home, all the way from Hawaii.
[bell rings]
[Heenan] Get him, Repo.
[Vince] That's exactly what he's doing, Repo hammering away in the back of Crush.
But wait a minute. Crush is so pumped up, it had no effect.
[Heenan] He's made him mad.
[Vince] Repo Man goes… Wait a minute, what's he gonna do?
Right from the start has him up, way up!
Oh yeah, and again, look at… Doing presses with him.
Overhead presses, a long way down for the Repo Man.
[Heenan] Repo weighs in at what, 280 or so?
[Vince] He's a very, very big man with a big backache.
[groaning]
[Heenan] He's got that achy-breaky back.
[Vince] He certainly does.
-[Crush exclaims] -[Vince] Oh my goodness!
Crush, very, very aggressive.
This young man with a very bright future in the World Wrestling Federation.
[Repo Man] Oh! Oh!
[Vince] Very, very agile. Very fast.
[Heenan] He realizes how tough the Repo Man is.
He likes to get in and wrestle. He likes to play around, pick you up,
throw you down, squeeze your head.
-But he's taking it to the Repo Man. -[Vince] Uh-oh, look at this.
[Heenan] Holding him like a baby, like a child.
[Vince] What's he gonna do? He just lays him gently.
Oh, ho, ho!
And not so gently, hammers away into the back.
Ooh, the kick! [slight chuckle]
And continues to hammer away on Repo Man.
Repo is having his problems here with Crush,
as I believe anyone just might.
-Oh my, look at that. -[Heenan] One hand.
One hand, he picked the man up.
[Vince] Coming up next, ladies and gentlemen,
for the World Wrestling Federation Championship,
The Macho Man, the reigning champion, to meet
The Ultimate Warrior.
And no doubt, we have waited long enough,
shortly we will find out exactly in whose corner
Mr. Perfect will be in.
[Heenan] I'll be honest with you. I don't really know.
Perfect… Perfect and Flair said,
"We don't wanna put you in a compromising position, Bobby,
so we're not gonna say anything."
"Not that we don't trust you, we're not gonna say anything."
I don't even know which corner Mr. Perfect's gonna be in.
[Vince] Look at this. Ooh! Nice maneuver.
[Heenan] But we're gonna know.
[Vince] I suppose we shall.
Momentarily.
-[Heenan] You can take my word for that. -[Vince] Of course we can.
[Heenan] Would a king lie to you?
[Vince] Please.
[Heenan] Don't beg, it's not becoming.
[Vince] Crush going up… Going up to the top rope.
Crush is all the way up and…
Uh-oh. Missing with the knee.
[Heenan] But he's getting up.
[Vince] Crush with tremendous resolve for victory.
[Heenan] Stay on him, Repo.
[Vince] Repo hammering away,
and apparently has very little, if any effect on Crush.
Oh, that'll have an effect.
Repo, risking being disqualified here in the matchup.
But if the momentum continues like this, he may be
willing to risk that DQ. Oh! No.
Attempted back body drop, and look at that.
Clever maneuver on the part of the Repo Man.
-[Heenan] Very good. -[Vince] And the cover.
One, two, and…
Whoa, over the second rope.
[Heenan laughs]
[Vince] I guess Crush was not ready to be pinned.
[Heenan] Thank you. Now, go back and tell him I understand.
-[Vince] What was that? -[Heenan] Nothing. What?
-[Vince] You know. -[Heenan] I know what?
[Vince] You know.
You know what corner Mr. Perfect is gonna be in.
[Heenan] No, I was talking to my assistant.
[Vince] Oh, look at that maneuver! One…
-No. -[Heenan] No, no, he wants to crush him.
He don't wanna pin him, he don't want him to submit,
he wants to tear his head off.
He's gonna crush him.
[Vince] Crush, with Repo Man, applying the pressure.
And down!
[bell rings]
Oh, man!
[Heenan] He's like a grape in a vise.
["The Kona Crush" playing]
[Finkel] Here is your winner,
Crush!
[Vince] Crush, victorious.
And the momentum continues
for that young man, victorious here,
at Wembley Stadium.
Crush, a proponent of ICOPRO.
ICOPRO, not just for Crush,
for everybody that cares about their body,
even Mean Gene.
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
we are just moments away from tonight's main event.
We are just moments away
from the World Wrestling Federation Championship match
between "The Macho Man" Randy Savage and The Ultimate Warrior.
And after a lot of waiting, we are just moments away
from finding out just exactly whose corner
Mr. Perfect will be in.
There's a lot of history, ladies and gentlemen,
leading up to this championship match.
As you recall, from the moment the match was signed,
controversy abounded.
…Randy Savage, and I'm the World Wrestling Federation Champion,
and you're not!
[Vince] Oh my goodness.
Well, he's not right now, that's for sure,
but he might be at Wembley Stadium.
What a matchup we're going to have between these two.
Wait a minute, Ultimate Warrior grabbing Mean Gene.
Leading him down. We may have a match right here.
Wait a minute, what's this?
What… Ric Flair and Mr. Perfect
going to the ring.
You know why?
Because I'm The Macho Chicken.
Oh yeah!
[Vince] Randy Savage is headed right in.
Yes, there he goes. He almost ran over the cameraman.
Randy Savage going after Ric Flair.
Hammering Ric Flair.
Mr. Perfect pulled off his belt, what's he doing?
Oh no.
[crowd boos]
[Vince] Ultimate Warrior coming in to help out.
Ric Flair takes a right hand!
[crowd cheers]
[Vince] Perfect takes off!
Last week…
[Okerlund] And then, there was the interruption
of The Ultimate Warrior's interview by Ric Flair.
…Macho Man was trying to cut a deal
with the Perfect One to walk the aisle
as his manager at SummerSlam
against you.
[Perfect] I'm gonna be at SummerSlam…
[Okerlund] And then, "Macho Man" Randy Savage interview
interrupted by Mr. Perfect.
…The Ultimate Warrior's corner.
I will be there.
Therefore,
the ante for Mr. Perfect's services
at SummerSlam
has just gone sky-high.
[Okerlund] And then, the very controversial tag team matchup
with The Ultimate Warrior and "Macho Man" Randy Savage as partners.
[Heenan] Oh, nice tag.
Very friendly tag.
[Vince] Yes! Oh, look at that tag.
Look.
The Warrior, now.
[Heenan] This isn't gonna work out.
[Vince] Well, thus far, it is working. No question it is working big-time for…
Wait a minute! Oh no!
Randy Savage had his back turned on The Ultimate Warrior.
And now, Savage looks up
and all he sees is The Warrior.
[Heenan] Yeah, he hit you, Savage. He hit you.
[Vince] Hey, wait a minute, he did not.
"The Macho Man" Randy Savage with Brian Knobbs. Oh, the helmet!
-Did you see that? -[Heenan] Did you hear that?
[Vince] Jimmy Hart's helmet
used by Sags a moment ago.
And they just cold-cocked The Macho Man.
And now,
Jimmy Hart was going after The Warrior, I think.
No, look out, from behind! From behind!
Look at… Look at this! What's going on, Bobby?
-What's going on, Bobby Heenan? -[Heenan] It's Perfect and Flair!
-[Vince] What's going on? -[Heenan] They jumped The Warrior!
[Vince] Yes, but, look…
Look what they're doing to The Ultimate Warrior.
Oh no!
The referee is still unconscious.
Oh, look at this. Randy Savage was just nailed over the head with a chair!
-[Heenan] He's down. -[Vince] Meanwhile…
Look at this, Savage being kicked, he's almost unconscious.
Meanwhile, the double-team effort continues on The Warrior
as well as "The Macho Man" Randy Savage.
What is going on here?
[Heenan] Well, the way it looks to me is
they better get some help out here.
This referee can't control it. He's out cold.
[Vince] I mean, I've never seen anything like this before!
The Nasty Boys, on the other side of the ring,
double-teaming "The Macho Man" Randy Savage.
He's out. Meanwhile, look at this,
Perfect and Flair, who have no business
being at ringside. Oh no.
-Oh no. -[Heenan] Oh! Ho-ho!
[Vince] What kind of shape is Savage going to be in for the match at Summer… Oh no!
[Heenan] I've never seen Savage, The Ultimate Warrior,
or any two people take a beating like this.
[Vince] Ric Flair,
chopping away on The Ultimate Warrior.
My goodness, what a beating.
Flair and Perfect now, taking off.
Randy Savage still being double-teamed.
He has no idea what has happened on the other side of the ring.
And the Warrior's going after Ric Flair.
The Warrior's going after Mr. Perfect.
But look, he's been beaten, he's been pummeled,
as Perfect and Flair take off.
The Ultimate Warrior, hot on their heels.
Each man is totally convinced
that the other will have Mr. Perfect in his corner.
So, ladies and gentlemen, let's wait no longer.
Here we go with the main event at SummerSlam.
Indeed, we are anxiously awaiting the presence of the participants.
Take that silly-looking crown off,
you look like a poster boy for a margarine commercial.
Now, nonetheless, Ric Flair and Mr. Perfect
we know are in attendance, although,
no one has officially seen Mr. Perfect.
He's been maneuvering, so to speak, back in the dressing room area.
And you probably know something that no one else does.
-Me? -Yes.
I'd tell you if I knew, McMahon, you know that.
I'm not the kind of a guy to keep it from you.
I'm the… I'm a broadcast journalist.
It's my job to tell what I know.
But, I told you, they wouldn't tell me.
They didn't want to put me in that kind of a position.
I'm just being honest with you, I give you my word.
You know who sold out.
-No, I don't. -Yes, you do.
-No, I don't. -Was it The Warrior? Come on.
-It was The Warrior. -No, I didn't say that.
-You nodded. -I didn't say that.
I did not. This is nodding. This isn't nodding.
Let's go up to Howard Finkel, we're gonna find out very shortly.
-Savage… Never mind. -What?
-Wait a minute. -[Heenan] I didn't say Savage. Never mind.
…scheduled for one fall,
is for the World Wrestling Federation Championship.
[crowd cheers]
[Heenan] Well, we're gonna know in a minute.
["Unstable" playing]
[Vince] Here he comes!
Over 80,000 fans
greeting The Ultimate Warrior.
And bear in mind,
there is no Mr. Perfect anywhere.
[Heenan] Well, I guess we know then, McMahon.
[Vince] Take a look at this spectacle!
Take a look at The Ultimate Warrior.
The Warrior, feeling the power…
of all of his warriors in attendance!
[Heenan] Well, I guess we know that Savage coughed up enough money.
'Cause Mr. Perfect's got to be coming with him.
'Cause he's not with The Warrior.
[Vince] So therefore, no Mr. Perfect
in the corner of The Ultimate Warrior.
That means when "The Macho Man" Randy Savage
arrives on the scene, in his corner will be Mr. Perfect.
[Heenan] He's determined, McMahon.
He's very determined.
He wants that gold, he wants the prestige,
he wants that money.
["Pomp and Circumstance" playing]
[Heenan] Here we go. Oh yeah.
[Finkel] Ladies and gentlemen, coming down the aisle,
from Sarasota, Florida…
-[Vince] Wait a minute. -[Heenan] What?
[Finkel] …245 pounds,
the World Wrestling Federation Champion,
"Macho Man" Randy Savage!
[Vince] In all his glory,
the reigning World Wrestling Federation Champion
"The Macho Man" Randy Savage,
and there is no Mr. Perfect to be seen.
[Heenan] Well, something's up.
This doesn't seem right to me.
This does not seem right to me at all.
Or is this a decoy on The Warrior's part?
Or Savage's part?
'Cause I know Perfect would talk to him.
I know he was negotiating.
[Vince] We heard from Ric Flair earlier on.
And we haven't heard a word from Mr. Perfect.
How about that?
[Heenan] Oh yeah.
[Vince] Neither individual sold out.
[Heenan] Look at The Warrior. He's just pacing back and forth.
His mind is on Savage.
[Vince] Talk about
pageantry, talk about spectacle,
this is the World Wrestling Federation.
And that is the reigning WWE Champion.
[Heenan] Okay, I know this is the World Wrestling Federation,
I know there's 80,000 people here,
I know who the champion is,
but I don't know where Perfect is.
-[Vince] Are you sure? -[Heenan] Let me go back and find out.
[Vince] You just sit right here.
[Heenan] McMahon,
I don't understand this.
[Vince] No love lost whatsoever
as far as The Warrior and The Macho Man are concerned.
Both men thought for sure
that Mr. Perfect would be in the other man's corner.
Although maybe
we will see
Mr. Perfect.
It appears as though, however, both men have rejected
Mr. Perfect.
[Heenan] No, they couldn't, they wouldn't, they can't do that.
[crowd cheering loudly]
[Heenan] It's deafening, I can barely hear.
[Vince] Two of the greats of the World Wrestling Federation,
ready to mix it up.
Will there be a handshake?
Who sold out? Wait a minute, The Warrior just said…
Just for the strap.
Respect, R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
[Vince] Savage wanting to shake the hand…
of The Warrior.
[Heenan] Are they going to? I don't think so.
[Vince] Yes. Maybe it's gonna be a sign of…
Whoa.
Are we gonna see… There's no… Wait a minute.
We're not gonna see any scientific matchup here.
[Heenan] Let's go. They're ready.
Here we go.
[Vince] Talk about intensity.
On both parts.
Randy Savage,
ready for perhaps the title defense of his life.
[Heenan] For The Ultimate Warrior, it's make it or break it.
[crowd chanting] Warrior! Warrior! Warrior!
[Vince] And over 80,000-strong…
[Heenan] Look into the eyes.
Look in the eyes. That's where you can tell the intensity.
[Vince] Leans right, but apart from The Macho Man.
Locking back up now, like two bulls.
And a shove by The Warrior.
[crowd cheers]
[Vince] And a knee by The Macho Man doubles up The Ultimate Warrior.
Savage with a clothesline.
Macho Man, knowing full well…
Oh, a clothesline from behind.
That'll really take it out of you. The cover by Savage.
We get one, and that's all we get.
Savage, however, going up.
All the way to the top rope, it's early for that, Savage with a leap!
Oh, Warrior, apparently ready, what a right to the midsection.
[Heenan] He got him good.
[Vince] Savage going up
and The Warrior lets him think about it.
Down with a knee.
[crowd cheers]
[Heenan] Give me a winner. What do you think?
[Vince] I have no idea.
Up goes Savage.
[Heenan] He's got to beat Savage. Savage don't have to beat him.
[Vince] Ooh!
Reverse piledrive.
The Warrior, convinced that The Macho Man sold out
as a result of the SummerSlam Spectacular.
When in fact, Ric Flair and Mr. Perfect came down
and began to beat upon The Warrior.
Ooh, what a clothesline.
The cover. One, two! Kick out by Savage.
Shoulder block by The Warrior.
Another one.
Warrior, now. Drop… No, missing with the elbow.
Look at Randy Savage hammering The Ultimate Warrior.
[Heenan] Boy, he's hammering him too.
[crowd boos]
[Vince] The cover, one, hook the leg, two…
No. Wow.
Randy Savage, likewise, equally convinced
that The Ultimate Warrior had procured the services of Mr. Perfect.
Savage was convinced that The Warrior
actually paid Flair and Perfect to come down
to beat him up during the Spectacular just to make it look good.
Oh, look at that maneuver.
What a clever maneuver on the part of The Warrior.
-Grabbing his head up underneath his chin. -[Heenan] Come here.
-Go to dressing room four. -[Vince] What?
[Heenan] I gotta talk to him. Tell him now.
Bye.
[Vince] Savage, down to the canvas.
Cover by The Warrior, one, two and thr… No!
[Heenan] Oh!
They don't get any closer than that.
[Vince] Randy Savage, back to his feet, ripped to the buckle by The Warrior.
Warrior moving in with authority now.
A handful… A hard right hand. Oh my goodness.
[audience horn blares]
[Vince] And another one!
Randy Savage having his problems.
A roundhouse right, following.
And Randy Savage ripped to the buckle.
[Heenan] Did he hit that corner.
[Vince] And The Warrior now, look at this. Oh my goodness.
A series of kicks to the chest area.
-Savage, slumping down in the corner. -[crowd] Five! Six! Seven…
[Vince] Warrior having no mercy.
And Savage, if the tables were turned, would have none either.
[Heenan] You know what's funny about these two.
The longer the match goes, it seems the tougher they get.
[Vince] Oh, what a clothesline.
Cover by The Warrior! Two, and… No. Savage with a kick out.
[Heenan] They've gotta take each other out early.
[Vince] Oh, look at that maneuver.
Randy Savage going underneath… Here's another… Oh, look at that.
[crowd boos]
[Vince] Savage using the tights
to take the momentum with Warrior into the buckle.
[Heenan] You can use whatever you want, pal.
It's on the line.
The most prestigious title in the world today.
WWE Champion. They'll do anything.
[Vince] Randy Savage back to his feet, Warrior took a…
Look at this, a clothesline! Over goes The Warrior.
[Heenan] He measured him. He set him up for that one.
[crowd boos]
[Vince] Warrior.
Back to his feet, Savage comes outside of the ring.
Rips The Warrior back in.
Savage, perhaps sensing victory now.
A cover, one, hooks the leg, it's gonna… No! Count of two.
[Heenan] He's going up.
[Vince] Savage up to the top rope.
Climbing the Tower of London, and…
Yes, that'll do it!
-Whoa, it won't. -[Heenan] He's up!
[Vince] What in the world's going on?
[Heenan] Savage, you better nail him again if you want it.
[Vince] On the far side, Randy Savage
with a leap across the Thames.
-Down goes The Warrior. -[Heenan] Got him.
[Vince] The cover, one, this will do it, we… Yes. No!
[Heenan] No! I can't… [groans]
Savage knows he has him, though, it looks like to me.
[Vince] Randy Savage, successful on two other attempts,
back to the top rope
to polish off The Warrior again.
-[Heenan] Third time. -[Vince] From high above.
Whoa, look at that.
[Heenan] Look at that.
[Vince] The power of The Ultimate Warrior.
[Heenan] He's holding him with one hand.
The WWE Champion.
[Vince] And down across the knee and down to the canvas.
One, two, yes!
[Heenan] I thought we had a new champion.
[Vince] This, a grueling matchup thus far
on the part of Savage and Warrior.
[Heenan] I need some water, I'm exhausted.
[Vince] Savage, now. Whipped to the buckle by The Warrior.
Seesaw matchup, back and forth,
Savage to the near side.
You can sense The Warrior, building momentum. Oh, what a right hand.
[Heenan] Did you ever see The Warrior this intense?
[Vince] Never.
[Heenan] Did you ever see Savage this intense?
[Vince] No, I don't believe so. Oh!
[Heenan] And it's only going to get worse.
Trust me.
I know what I'm talking about.
[Vince] And again, to the far side.
The Warrior knowing full well
he's really going to have to take it to Randy Savage
to once again be World Wrestling Federation Champion.
Randy Savage with perhaps more tenacity
than anyone else in the history of the WWE. Look at this!
Into a bear hug.
Trying to squeeze the championship out of him.
-[Heenan] Did he give up? -[Vince] No!
The cover, one, two, and… The kick out again.
My goodness.
Wow.
[Heenan] What a match.
You were right. This is the SummerSlam you thought you'd never see.
[Vince] And all of the speculation for all these many weeks
about in whose corner Mr. Perfect would be in.
He's not in anyone's corner. Two, and yes!
[Heenan] I don't understand that. He wouldn't lie to me.
He told me he would be in someone's corner.
He wouldn't lie to me.
[Vince] A small package! Out of nowhere! Savage successfully… No!
[Heenan] He just got out of there.
[Vince] "Macho Man" Randy Savage
getting back to his feet. Hanging on to the rope for a moment.
Now The Warrior,
in the grasp of Savage, whips him to the corner. And no!
Neckbreaker.
[Heenan] Can he keep him down, though?
Can he cover him? He hurt his back.
He's hurt his back.
[Vince] Savage snapping the neck of The Ultimate Warrior.
We have a count. We have two and we… Only have two.
My goodness. These two men
taking more out of each other perhaps
than any other match either individual has ever been involved with thus far.
Look at this. Yes!
Over the top,
Randy Savage with the momentum.
[Heenan] If he can cover him, he's got it.
-Warrior's hurt. -[Vince] One, two, and three… No!
[Heenan] No!
I can't believe this.
[Vince] Randy Savage has begun
successfully to work on the neck area of The Warrior.
[Heenan] But his back is bothering him, McMahon.
He's favoring his back. He can't let The Warrior know.
[Vince] Savage, setting up The Ultimate Warrior.
-The Warrior's gonna go up. -[Heenan] Suplex should do it.
[Vince] No, he can't do it, his back is hurting him too badly.
-He can't do it. -[Heenan] I told you.
[Vince] Savage cannot pick The Warrior up.
[Heenan] If The Warrior can capitalize on this,
he's gonna walk away with the gold.
[Vince] Warrior's neck, in bad shape.
Savage's back in bad shape.
[Heenan] He knows it too, now.
[Vince] Both men may never be the same after this match is over.
[Heenan] I don't see how you could be.
Warrior knows his back is bothering him. He senses it.
He's gonna continue to work on that back until he puts him away.
[Vince] Yes, down again to the small of the back.
[Heenan] Savage is in real, real deep trouble now.
[Vince] Now The Warrior,
with a front face lock, applying the pressure.
But yet, The Warrior's neck still bothering him.
Warrior trying to get Savage into position.
I think The Macho Man's gonna go up. Yes!
Tremendous suplex on the part of The Ultimate Warrior.
The cover, one, two, and…
No! Oh, that was close.
[Heenan] That was close. You bet that was close.
All your money, your whole future,
everything's riding on this match for Savage.
And inches away from losing it all.
[Vince] Randy Savage,
on the rope, is he playing possum? Here comes the clothesline.
No, look at this!
Over the top to the outside!
Savage calculating that The Ultimate Warrior would rush him
for the clothesline attempt.
-Wait a minute. -[Heenan] He's going to the floor.
[Vince] Yes, he's going up to the top.
Savage. If he gets him, it'll be over.
-Yes! -[Heenan] Whoa!
[Vince] Unbelievable maneuver
on the part of The Macho Man.
And The Ultimate Warrior will be counted out.
[Heenan] Did he nail him.
He caught him good. He's going out after him.
[Vince] Macho Man… Yes, he's doing exactly just that.
[Heenan] Savage is making a mistake here.
He doesn't have to beat The Ultimate Warrior.
[Vince] He wants to beat him.
That's the kind of champion The Macho Man is.
[Heenan] He's a dummy for doing it.
[Vince] Oh! Into the steps.
Savage back in, beating the count, but yes,
The Macho Man,
just like The Ultimate Warrior, both individuals have taken
a tremendous beating from each other.
What a grueling matchup.
Oh, to the ring post.
"Macho Man" Randy Savage wants to prove a point, I believe.
[Heenan] To who? Who is he proving it to?
[Vince] To himself, and to perhaps, the entire world.
He wants to defeat The Ultimate Warrior.
Remember, he said he was gonna beat The Warrior
one, two, three, he guaranteed it.
[Heenan] Well, you shouldn't give guarantees you can't back.
I don't care who wins this.
[Vince] Savage back in.
Look at this! One, two, he gets him. He…
No, he doesn't.
Wait a minute, what's this?
[Heenan] That's Mr. Perfect and Ric Flair.
-Who do you think it is? -[Vince] What's going on?
What are they doing coming down to ringside?
One, two, and ye… Oh my!
[Heenan] Well, we're about ready to find out
-which corner Mr. Perfect's going to. -[Vince] And back down!
A clothesline by The Warrior, the cover, two, and…
No! Count of two is all.
[Heenan] Whatever plan Perfect had, it's working perfectly.
[Vince] Well, now, which individual sold out?
Warrior with a body slam!
[Heenan] I think Savage is the one that sold out.
'Cause he wants it more. He's had the title twice now.
He knows how important and how much money he can make with it.
[Vince] We're about to find out.
Here we go!
Ultimate Warrior off the rope and down… No!
Oh, look at that.
Randy Savage lifting the knees
into the abdomen of The Ultimate Warrior.
[Heenan] Bad landing.
[Vince] And thus far, Ric Flair and Mr. Perfect…
-Wait a minute, one, two… Ooh! -[Heenan] I think he's got him.
-Perfect is standing-- -[Vince] I don't think-- What?
[Heenan] Perfect is standing right in the middle. He hasn't gone to a corner.
[Vince] Warrior, now. Oh, reversal, off the rope.
Clothesline attempt misses and both men go down!
Double clothesline!
And Perfect and Ric Flair look on
as they see both men down.
Both men out.
But why is Perfect at ringside?
In whose corner will he be in?
He has to make a move soon.
[Heenan] He will, he will.
He's no dummy. He's Perfect.
[Vince] What a matchup this is!
Savage and Warrior.
Attempting to get back to their feet.
The Warrior, this is it!
-[Heenan] He's got it. He's got it. -[Vince] One, two… No.
A cover by Savage!
Three almost, no!
[Heenan] I've never seen so many covers.
I've never seen so many people try to go for a pin in my--
[Vince] Wait a minute, you saw that. There it is.
-There it is. Now we know. -[crowd boos]
Now we know who sold out.
I can't believe it.
The Ultimate Warrior sold out to Mr. Perfect.
[Heenan] Shows you how much The Ultimate Warrior wants it.
[Vince] I still can't believe it.
[Heenan] Believe it. You just saw it.
[Vince] Yes. And now Randy Savage is believing it.
Randy Savage knows full well it's Mr. Perfect
who's in the corner of The Ultimate Warrior.
[Heenan] He's telling Perfect, "You took the money from The Warrior."
[Vince] Warrior back to his feet.
Warrior selling out.
This capacity crowd can't believe it.
Roundhouse right by The Ultimate Warrior.
[Heenan] And look at how confident Mr. Perfect stands there.
He's got a pocketful of money.
[spectator horn blares]
[Vince] The Ultimate Warrior now with "The Macho Man" Randy Savage.
Look at this! Oh.
[Heenan] He not only landed hard on his back,
I believe he hit his head on that bottom rope.
Yeah. Yep, he certainly did. That's whiplash, pal.
[Vince] That's whiplash big-time!
Get up! And one!
Two!
[Vince] The match, before Perfect and Flair arrived, so even.
But now… Ooh! Look at that. The official goes down.
[Heenan] He caught him… He didn't catch him real good.
He caught him good enough to knock him down.
I don't think he's out cold.
[Vince] The match was so even, but now,
since Mr. Perfect has come to ringside,
obviously The Warrior has the advan… Oh my!
What a slam.
And now, The Ultimate Warrior makes a move.
[Heenan] He can smell victory.
[Vince] They know what's going on.
Perfect and Flair know what's happening.
[Heenan] It's simple, it's business.
[Vince] From the top rope, The Ultimate Warrior!
Yes, down.
The cover.
This will do it.
[Heenan] There's no referee to count.
The referee don't know where he's at.
[Vince] One, two…
-Kick out! He kicked out! -[Heenan] I thought he had it.
[Vince] And The Warrior,
looking at the official.
The Warrior could have had the pin
had the official been in position.
[Heenan] Hey, for the money it cost him, or must have cost him,
he better get a good count.
[Vince] So perhaps the plans of Mr. Perfect
and The Ultimate Warrior have backfired!
[crowd chanting] Warrior! Warrior! Warrior!
[Vince] Now Savage, look at this from behind!
Drives the knee. Oh my.
Savage driving a knee to the back of The Warrior,
and the official, unfortunately, right in front of The Ultimate Warrior.
-[Heenan] Look. He's gonna piledrive him. -[Vince] Going up.
And down!
Randy "Macho Man" Savage retains the WW…
The official is still out.
Savage going over to the official.
-[Heenan] He took two good shots. -[Vince] Look. Yes.
Perfect is in there, helping Warrior up.
Trying to revive The Warrior.
[Heenan] He should, for the money he's getting.
[Vince] Savage is outside, trying to revive the official.
[Heenan] This doesn't surprise me.
-Wait a minute. -[Vince] Wait, what's this?
Ric Flair.
Ric Flair. Oh no!
-[Heenan] Oh, did he nail him. -[crowd boos]
[Heenan] Savage. Wait a minute!
Savage is the one
that paid Perfect, because all they did to Savage
was trip him. That was a setup.
They are working for Savage.
[Vince] Wait a minute, I'm not so sure Randy Savage saw that.
Randy Savage was trying to revive the official.
I don't think he saw it.
[Heenan] What are you trying to say?
[Vince] I'm confused, that's what I'm trying to say.
I don't know whose corner Perfect is in now.
[Heenan] Savage. Savage. He's the one that paid Flair.
He's the one that wants it the most.
He's the one that has all the money to pay with.
He's the WWE Champion.
It all makes sense to me now.
[Vince] Well, it doesn't make any sense at all to me now
except that "The Macho Man" Randy Savage
and The Ultimate Warrior
have absolutely attempted to destroy each other.
From the top, and yes!
[Heenan] He's got him.
-[Vince] This will do it! -[Heenan] We're going home. We're done.
[Vince] The official coming back over for the… One,
two,
thr… Oh, wait a minute.
[Heenan] What?
He had the tights.
Yes, he did have the tights.
Does he want it bad?
[Vince] Hey, wait a minute.
I think something has gone awry with the plans
of Perfect and Flair.
[Heenan] They're huddling for something, and I know
when Perfect huddles with Flair and they put their heads together,
something big is gonna happen.
[Vince] Well, now you got Flair on one side of the ring,
Perfect on the other side.
Meanwhile, The Macho Man continuing to hammer The Warrior.
-Ric Flair has a chair in his hand. -[Heenan] He's looking for a place to sit.
[Vince] Meanwhile…
The Ultimate Warrior with momentum now.
[Heenan] He can't knock him out. He can't knock him out.
[Vince] Randy Savage hammering for all he's worth.
He's trying everything he can.
Meanwhile, The Ultimate Warrior
is absolutely wild!
[Heenan] He's lost his mind.
When he starts that dance,
and starts shaking the ropes, it's over.
[Vince] Clothesline.
Another one.
Look at this!
Both men have brutalized each other!
[Heenan] Oh, he's signaling, he can taste it, he smells it.
He is gonna put Savage away.
Right here.
[Vince] Off the rope, here comes Warrior!
Yes, with a shoulder block.
[crowd cheers]
[Heenan] Where do they get the energy?
The stamina?
[Vince] The Ultimate Warrior, asking the 80,000-plus
should he give The Macho Man the Press Slam?
[Heenan] Savage has just lost a bundle of money.
[Vince] No matter who wins this matchup, neither individual
will ever be the same.
[Heenan] Oh, you can't be.
[Vince] They have taken so much out of each other.
And here we go.
Hey, look at that.
Perfect tried to… Oh no!
-[Heenan] Oh, did he clobber him. -[Vince] Oh no!
[Heenan] Whoo!
Whoo! What a hit.
[crowd boos]
What a hit.
[Vince] "Macho Man" Randy Savage down on the canvas.
He did not see
what happened, I don't believe.
As he looks over at The Warrior.
[Heenan] He's gonna get his money's worth.
[Vince] And this is it.
The Warrior is unconscious.
The Warrior is totally unconscious.
And "The Macho Man" Randy Savage
will retain the WWE Championship.
-But wait a minute. -[Heenan] What?
[Vince] "Macho Man" Randy Savage
knows full well he didn't do the damage to The Warrior.
Someone else must have.
[Heenan] What are you trying to say? What are you trying to imply?
[Vince] I'm trying to imply
that The Macho Man has figured this out. He's looking at Ric Flair.
[Heenan] Figured what out?
[Vince] Look at that. Oh, he just got…
Oh yes!
[Heenan] Wait a minute. Is Perfect working for The Warrior now?
What is going on?
[Vince] The official outside,
with Mr. Perfect.
And yes, here we… He's gonna do it anyhow.
"The Macho Man" Randy Savage.
[Heenan] Savage is thinking. Something's going through his mind.
[Vince] All Savage has to do is leap from the top,
drop the elbow, and he will have retained
his WWE Championship.
[Heenan] He's looking at The Warrior.
[Vince] Why is he up there so long? He must be having second… Wait a minute.
He's looking at Ric Flair. Here he comes. Oh!
[Heenan] I bet he tore his knee.
He blew his knee out, pal. Big-time.
[Vince] "Macho Man" Randy Savage
choosing not to leap on The Warrior.
Instead, leaping on Ric Flair,
but yes, I agree with you,
Ric Flair cold-cocked him with the chair.
[Heenan] You realize there are three different matches going on here?
[Vince] What is going on? The official…
-Oh no. Randy Savage has been counted out. -[bell rings]
[Heenan] Uh-oh, here we go. Look at Perfect, look what he's gonna do.
He's gonna try to break the ankle and the knee.
[Vince] Savage has been counted out.
[Heenan] Figure-Four, nobody gets out of this.
[Vince] What are they trying to do?
[Heenan] What do you think they're trying to do? Wish him luck?
They're trying to break his knee! And they'll do it!
[Vince] I've never seen anything like this before!
The Ultimate Warrior trying to get himself together, meanwhile on the outside,
Mr. Perfect and Ric Flair are trying to annihilate
the WWE Champion.
They're trying to destroy Randy Savage!
Somebody has to stop this!
[Heenan] Snap it! Break it!
[Vince] Neither individual, neither The Warrior,
neither The Macho Man, sold out.
[Heenan] Where's The Warrior? Where is The Warrior?
[Vince] If there was a price to be paid,
this is it, and now they're gonna finish him off!
Warrior grabs a chair from Flair and snatches it away.
[Heenan] Get out of there! Get out of there!
He'll take your head off with that chair, get out of there!
Run! Run! Run!
Perfect! Run, run!
[Vince] The Ultimate Warrior chasing Ric Flair and Mr. Perfect
all the way back to the dressing room.
[Heenan] Randy's going to the hospital tonight, I bet.
Macho Man doesn't look so macho, does he?
[Vince] No, indeed, and Randy Savage
obviously in great pain.
You may be right, he may have blown his knee
as a result of Flair clobbering him with the chair.
But the important factor
in this whole match is that neither The Warrior
nor The Macho Man sold out to Mr. Perfect.
As far as I'm concerned,
both men are champions.
[Heenan] Wait a minute, The Warrior's not done with him yet.
[Finkel] Ladies and gentlemen, here is the referee's decision.
He awards the bout, as a result of a count out,
to The Ultimate Warrior!
[crowd cheers]
[Heenan] But that doesn't make him champion.
[Vince] No, indeed, it does not, and I assure you,
this is not the way…
[Finkel] …still the World Wrestling Federation Champion,
"Macho Man" Randy Savage!
[Vince] I assure you, this is not the way The Ultimate Warrior
wanted to win the matchup.
It wasn't the way… Wait a minute, what's this?
It wasn't the way
The Macho Man wanted to lose the championship.
The Warrior.
[Heenan] I know what he'll do with the belt.
He is gonna waffle Savage's head right off his shoulders.
And I don't care. Hit him!
-Hit him all you want! -[Vince] Wait a minute.
-[Heenan] Give it to me, I'll whack him. -[Vince] The Ultimate Warrior looking down
on the Championship Belt
which he so proudly once wore.
Knowing he came so close to winning the title again here
tonight before 80,000, and look at this.
[Heenan] Clothesline him!
[Vince] No, he is helping The Macho Man up!
[Heenan] That's sickening.
Get a wheelbarrow. Take him back.
["Unstable" playing]
[Vince] "The Macho Man" Randy Savage,
and The Ultimate Warrior
with the Championship Belt between them.
Two of the greatest competitors of all time.
And this crowd of over 80,000
has witnessed one of the most grueling,
one of the most competitive
World Wrestling Federation Championship matches ever.
[Heenan] Yeah, but Flair should be there.
He should be the champion.
[Vince] The Ultimate Warrior
helping The Macho Man back to the dressing room.
Each man appreciating each other for the effort they gave.
And they gave it all. They gave everything they had.
The Ultimate Warrior, "The Macho Man" Randy Savage.
What a matchup, what a SummerSlam.
And Mean Gene Okerlund is standing by with Ric Flair
and Mr. Perfect.
All right, this was the SummerSlam you thought you'd never see.
And there was an incident out there tonight that I thought I would…
-What the hell… There was no deal. -You just be quiet, little man.
-There was a deal. -There was not a deal!
It was a done deal between Ric Flair and Mr. Perfect.
A lot of people might think the other deal didn't go down.
Not a chance, that was Plan A.
And now, Plan B, little man, divot-head,
is in full charge.
Plan B. Champ, tell him the way it is.
-Oh, come on, this has gotta be-- -I should have had the shot to begin with!
Not The Ultimate Warrior!
But now, you ask The Warrior
what he wants in life.
Well, it's gotta be me, and baby, I'm waiting on you.
Plan A, maybe that slid by,
but now, we're looking at Plan B!
And baby, the way I see it,
the two most perfect men alive today
are this gentleman and myself.
You two men, this is an absolute sham of the World Wrestling Federation.
Is my bow tie straight, champ?
-You are a killer, brother. -Get out of here.
You are a killer.
In closing,
let me tell the whole world,
and especially one man, something.
Savage, that belt is coming back to me.
[Perfect] Don't tell them about Plan B.
-Don't tell them about Plan… Plan B-- -Forget your plans!
I'm telling you, there is so much… You two are out of…
-Let's get back to ringside. -Whoo! Whoo!
[Vince] The official attendance here, ladies and gentlemen,
at Wembley Stadium in London, England for SummerSlam,
80,355.
Oh, what a rush.
-SummerSlam at Wembley Stadium. -[bell rings]
[Finkel] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
At this time, allow me to introduce
[sarcastically] Dr. Harvey Wippleman--
You take that sarcastic tone out of your voice
when you introduce me, little man.
Next time, I'll knock you out.
[Vince] Little man?
About to be led down the aisle by Kim Chee,
from the dark continent of Africa,
to the bright lights of the World Wrestling Federation,
the bright lights of Wembley Stadium,
and the bright spotlight of SummerSlam,
I want everybody to show proper respect
for the Lord of the Jungle,
the Ugandan Giant,
the Mighty Kamala.
["Tribal Medley" playing]
[Vince] Certainly a scary sight here in Wembley Stadium.
[Heenan] And like he says, he's gonna put The Undertaker in a pot and cook him.
[Vince] What a matchup this is going to be.
[Heenan] I don't think The Undertaker can get Kamala in that Tombstone.
Throw him over his shoulder and drive his head into the mat,
I don't think he can do it.
[Vince] It's gonna be a great matchup. Kim Chee assisting the Ugandan Giant,
the Mighty Kamala.
[Heenan] Think he's ever been in front of 80,000 people before? Kamala?
It could scare him.
He could run wild in this place.
-["Rest in Peace" playing] -[Vince] Whoa!
[crowd cheers]
[Vince] Wait a minute, what's…
-What's this? -[Heenan] Oh my God.
That is a hearse.
[Finkel] His opponent,
being led down the aisle by Paul Bearer,
from Death Valley,
weighing 328 pounds,
The Undertaker!
[Heenan] Will you look at that.
[Vince] No, you look at that.
[Heenan] I don't like to look at that. You look at that.
He's gonna need a bigger box if he wants to put Kamala in there.
He's gonna need a bigger hearse.
[Vince] Well, this is what 80,355
have waited for.
This matchup,
to be followed by the Intercontinental Championship match,
with "The Hitman" Bret Hart defending the title
against The British Bulldog.
[Heenan] Look at that idiot, the steering wheel's on the wrong side.
It appears to me The Undertaker
has taken this ride before.
[Vince] My goodness, look at that.
[Heenan] How'd you like to see that pull into your driveway?
[Vince] No, thanks.
[Heenan] Would you like it to drive by your house?
[Vince] The Undertaker, bringing the hearse down to ringside.
[Heenan] He's got a box in the hearse. A big box.
[Vince] And I would suggest to you that the
Ugandan Giant, The Mighty Kamala, likely to leave in the hearse.
[Heenan] I don't think he's gonna get Kamala in a body bag.
[Vince] This man, The Undertaker, means business.
Then again, so does Kamala.
[Heenan] You bet. And Kamala's hungry.
Look at… That man is not human.
He's not a human being.
But then again, neither is Kamala.
[Vince] I think he likes humans, uh, quite well.
[Heenan] But at least Kamala's alive!
[Vince] He may like them for dinner.
Oh my.
-[Heenan] If you wanna call that living. -[bell rings]
[Vince] The Undertaker, readying himself for the matchup.
[Heenan] This is gonna be something.
[Vince] Kim Chee, psyching up "The Ugandan Giant" Kamala.
And look out! Ooh-hoo! Yes!
[crowd cheers]
[Vince] Undertaker, hammering away on Kamala!
Has him by the throat!
[Heenan] This is surprising.
I thought Kamala would be the aggressor at the beginning.
[Vince] And the official, somewhat intimidated by The Undertaker.
You won't see a great deal of scientific display
of skills in this matchup I don't believe. Undertaker whipped to the buckle.
Kamala moves in. Oh yes.
Nice maneuver on the part of The Undertaker.
[Heenan] Come on, Kamala! Stop him!
[Vince] I don't believe anything can stop The Undertaker,
as he brings Kamala to the corner now.
Where's he going?
[Heenan] Oh no. Oh no.
[Vince] The Undertaker wants to take the arm of Kamala right off.
Oh, from way up above!
[Heenan] Kamala's gotta… He's gotta hit him, he's gotta get on him.
[Vince] Chop to the throat, another one.
Kamala, in a bit of trouble now
in the early stages of the matchup.
[Heenan] He's gonna try it again.
[Vince] Once again climbing the rope.
And to the top, wait, Harvey Wippleman is up there.
And… Whoa, look at that.
[Heenan] Oh, you can't hurt him. He's not human.
Tell you that right now.
[Vince] A chop by Kamala.
Clothesline by Kamala.
-Whoa, look at this! -[Heenan] Uh-oh.
Double your pleasure, double your fun.
[Vince] From behind, Kamala.
Kamala continuing to hammer into the head. Oh, look at that.
Back kick by Kamala to the breadbasket.
Continuing to hammer again.
[Heenan] Kamala's a savage.
-[Vince] Oh. Goodness. -[Heenan] Oh.
That'll ring your chimes like Big Ben.
[Vince] Action on the outside of the ring.
Kamala with a headbutt.
And back in.
Perhaps Kamala sensing he has the upper hand here.
Another chop.
And another one.
But The Undertaker won't go down.
[Heenan] You're gonna have to pound a stake into his heart.
That's what I think.
[Vince] Missing. Undertaker, oh yeah!
[Heenan] He can't pick him up, though.
-[Vince] Now he can, look at that! -[Heenan] Yes! Yes!
[crowd cheers]
[Heenan] What a move!
[Vince] The Undertaker with Kamala
and way up in the air!
[crowd cheers]
[Heenan] Looks like they better call that hearse to come back.
No, no. Kamala's still got a lot of fight in him.
[Vince] Kamala, a mighty savage,
Undertaker scoops him up, however…
-Oh no. Look at this. -[bell ringing]
Kim Chee just rammed that pith helmet to the midsection.
-Uh-oh. Kim Chee! -[Heenan] Kim Chee, you should've…
You should've ran into the jungle!
[Vince] That's an automatic disqualification.
Kamala, with a kick.
Kamala, now. With another chop.
-Kamala. With a-- -[bell ringing]
Moving in to the corner!
[Heenan] Kamala's gonna think that's the dinner bell.
[Vince] The match, I believe, officially over as a result of a disqualification.
Oh!
A big slam by Kamala.
[Finkel] Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this bout,
-as a result of disqualification… -[Vince] Oh, look at this!
[Heenan] Kamala doesn't know it's over.
[Finkel] …The Undertaker!
[crowd cheers]
[Heenan] Kamala's going up to that second rope.
Or third rope.
No, second.
[Vince] Kamala on the second rope!
Down across The Undertaker.
[Heenan] That'll finish him off.
[Vince] And The Undertaker is not moving.
[Heenan] Kim Chee's telling him to go to the top.
[Vince] He's what?
[Heenan] Kim Chee's telling him to go to the top rope.
Yes, that's what I said. The top rope.
[Vince] The Ugandan Giant, I can't believe this,
is on the top rope. Will he leap?
Yes!
[Heenan] We have seen the end of The Undertaker.
[Vince] And The Undertaker, perhaps,
has been given his last rites by
The Ugandan Giant,
who was disqualified.
-Kamala… Whoa! -[Heenan] Whoa!
-Uh-oh. Oh no. -["Rest in Peace" playing]
[Vince] Look at the look on the face of Kamala!
He can't believe someone would get up as a result of that!
Look at this!
Nothing can stop The Undertaker.
Kamala falls down, he can't believe what's going on.
[Heenan] He can't get his feet moving fast enough!
[Vince] He's being stalked by The Undertaker!
[Heenan] He is scared to death of The Undertaker.
[Vince] Justifiably so!
[Heenan] I don't blame him. That man is not human.
I'll tell you that right now.
He moves at one speed.
Nothing can hurt this man. I'm in total belief of that right now.
This man should be… Have an autopsy.
He's not right, there's something wrong.
[Vince] Kamala is frightened to death.
[Heenan] When's the last time you saw Kamala move that fast?
[Vince] Kamala can't believe
that The Undertaker is stalking him.
However, standing by right now,
let's take you to Sean Mooney.
Oh my.
Davey Boy Smith, you have got to be feeling enormous pressure
going into this match for the Intercontinental Championship.
You will be stepping into the ring with your brother-in-law.
Obviously, this match has torn both sides of the family apart.
First of all, your thoughts on the family pressures you are facing now.
Well, I'm facing a lot of pressures in the family, Sean.
But I didn't make this match.
Jack Tunney made this match.
But The British Bulldog has fought hard
for two long years
to be the number one contender
for the Intercontinental Belt.
Yes, Bret, you are the Intercontinental Champion.
Yes, Bret,
you are my brother-in-law,
but when I step in the ring with you, Bret,
I never met you. I don't even know you.
But at the end of the match,
I just hope the families reunite.
British Bulldog, that brings me to my second point,
one that may even bring even more pressure on you,
the fact that you will be stepping out into that stadium
in front of 80,000 of your fellow countrymen.
Sean… [chuckles]
…that isn't a pressure.
That's a dream
for The British Bulldog.
And my second dream
is, at the end of the match,
The British Bulldog will be
the next World Wrestling Federation
Intercontinental Champion.
[Mooney] Let's go over to Mean Gene.
[Okerlund] Well, I've got to agree with my broadcast colleague, Sean Mooney,
indeed, there is a great deal of pressure
for this Intercontinental Title bout.
However, the pressure for the champion, you, Bret "The Hitman" Hart,
much different than the pressure on the challenger,
The British Bulldog.
For him to win this coveted title,
he must either make you submit or get the pin fall,
one, two, three, in the center of the ring.
And then, of course, there's the question of the family pressure.
Let me tell you something, Gene, as far as family pressure goes,
I've proven that I work real well under pressure.
But you know something that really bugs me?
That really irks me, is The British Bulldog has the gall
to come out here and say that when he steps in the ring with me,
that he's never met me. That he doesn't know me.
Well, let me tell you something, British Bulldog,
take a good look at my face
and look me in the eye and tell me you don't know me.
Do you remember that far back, British Bulldog,
when I was the one that introduced you to my sister Diana in the first place?
And as far as your career in the World Wrestling Federation,
I'm the one that helped you the most.
You wouldn't be where you are in the World Wrestling Federation
if it wasn't for me.
Talk about gratitude. You know, The British Bulldog forgets
he's the one that wanted to challenge me.
He's the one responsible for all the family tension.
He's the one that wanted a shot at the gold.
Well, you know something, The British Bulldog,
he wanted the big fight, he's got the big fight.
And as far as his big dream,
you know what I think of his big dream?
This big dream of his
of winning the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Title,
in front of 80,000 of his compatriots,
well, you know, I think this big dream of his
is gonna turn into a nightmare.
And then, tomorrow morning, when he wakes up,
he's gonna think he woke up in the dungeon
of Windsor Castle.
[Finkel] Ladies and gentlemen,
at this time, I would like to introduce to you
The Balmoral Highlanders!
[drum roll]
[Vince] What in the world? How about this!
[Balmoral Highlanders playing "Scotland the Brave"]
[Heenan] I've always hated hard rock.
-[Vince] Hard rock? -[Heenan] Yeah.
Looks like a bunch of grown men in skirts playing vacuum cleaners.
[Vince] Come on, get the flavor of this.
[Heenan] Sounds like somebody pulled the tail off a cat.
Look at the hair on that guy.
[Vince] That's not hair.
They're The Balmoral Highlanders.
And they're playing "Scotland the Brave."
[Finkel] And now, ladies and gentlemen, as a special surprise,
here to perform with The Balmoral Highlanders,
Rowdy Roddy Piper!
[crowd cheers]
[Vince] How about that?
[Heenan] He's gonna breakdance to that?
-[Vince] What? -[Heenan] He's gonna breakdance?
[Vince] I don't believe so.
[Heenan] He can play the bagpipes?
[Vince] You bet he can.
[Heenan] Of all the instruments in the world,
why would you wanna learn to play the bagpipes?
[Piper plays "Scotland the Brave" solo]
[Vince] How about that?
Solo performance, Rowdy Roddy Piper.
Playing "Scotland the Brave."
[Balmoral Highlanders resume "Scotland the Brave"]
[Heenan] Get the hook.
-[Vince] What? -[Heenan] Gong him.
[Vince] Come on.
We're in Wembley Stadium,
Rowdy Roddy Piper,
along with The Balmoral Highlanders,
it's "Scotland the Brave," it's SummerSlam!
[Heenan] Certainly not The Rockettes.
-What a windbag this guy is. -[Vince] I beg your pardon?
[Heenan] He's got cheeks like Dizzy Gillespie.
[Vince] Rowdy Roddy Piper having some fun here at SummerSlam.
[Heenan] It's a little breezy here this evening, I'd hate to be in a skirt…
-[music ends] -[Vince] All right!
[Heenan] …with nothing underneath it.
Don't applaud him, he might play more.
[Vince] Rowdy Roddy Piper!
[laughs]
[Heenan] Look at the hair on those guys.
[Vince] Standing by, Sean Mooney.
Well, you can certainly feel the nervous tension amongst this crowd of 80,000-plus,
as we await the battle for the Intercontinental Championship.
But I do believe there's one person who's feeling that tension more than anybody,
she is the wife of The British Bulldog, the sister of Bret "The Hitman" Hart.
Diana Smith, I wanna thank you for agreeing to talk with us.
I know this situation has torn your families apart.
We heard opinions from both sides of the family,
yet you are right in the middle.
I know this encounter is going to be very difficult for you to watch.
Well, yes, it is going to be difficult for me to watch. Um…
Bret and Davey Boy have always been fiercely competitive with each other
and this, I'm sure, has enhanced their wrestling ability
and helped them to become two of the greatest wrestlers
in the whole world.
And this match tonight,
is going to be the biggest match in their lives.
And I regret that I may have been an obstacle in their path,
but I am worried about what they're gonna do to each other,
that they're… I'm afraid they're gonna destroy each other,
and, uh, I think that…
Well, I know that you're very concerned for both superstars' safety,
and it's difficult for you to choose,
but who is going to walk away the Intercontinental Champion?
Um, well,
to be quite frank, I don't…
I'm not concerned about who wins.
I don't…
Um, I love Bret and I love Davey, and
the bond that we have with my whole family
is greater than…
than anything, it's more valuable to me than…
than anything, and, uh, nothing could ever replace that,
not even the Intercontinental Belt
could ever replace that, and--
Well, it's certain to be a war, that is definitely true.
Well, yes, I'm…
You know, I've been given a great honor
tonight
that, in the past,
many women that have been extremely brave and courageous
have never been given.
They've never been given the honor of
being able to go to the front line with their husbands in battle.
But tonight, I have the honor of
being with my husband, Davey Boy, and my brother Bret
and giving them their support… the support…
-All the support that I could give them. -[bell rings]
Okay well, you are certainly going to be on the front line,
and it is gonna be a war for the Intercontinental Championship.
A very concerned Diana Smith, let's go back to ringside.
[Finkel] …is for the World Wrestling Federation
Intercontinental Championship!
-["Rule, Britannia!" playing] -[crowd roars]
[Vince] Here we go!
[Finkel] Coming down the aisle,
led by a gentleman hoisting the Union Jack high,
showing his support,
he is the European, British and Commonwealth
Heavyweight Boxing Champion,
Lennox Lewis!
Here is the challenger,
from Leeds, England,
weighing 250 pounds,
The British Bulldog!
[Heenan] What an ovation, McMahon.
Listen to this.
[Vince] The British Bulldog on his way to the squared circle!
[Heenan] Who did he say that was? Joe Louis?
[Vince] Lennox Lewis, not Joe Louis.
[Heenan] Sorry.
[Vince] What a matchup this is going to be!
[Heenan] You think he's got butterflies in his stomach right now?
[Vince] Yeah, maybe more than that.
[Heenan] Maybe bats.
Boy, Davey Boy's wife, is she emotionally upset?
[Vince] And there you see The British Bulldog and Lennox Lewis
in the squared circle.
Two great competitors.
Former Olympic champion Lennox Lewis
in the corner of the hopeful Intercontinental Champion,
The British Bulldog.
The British Bulldog readying himself
to lock up with this man.
-Listen to the ovation of 80,355! -["Hart Attack" playing]
[Finkel] Ladies and gentlemen,
his opponent,
from Calgary, Alberta, Canada,
weighing 234 pounds,
the Intercontinental Champion,
Bret "Hitman" Hart!
[crowd boos]
[Vince] "The Hitman" Bret Hart.
[Heenan] It's gonna be tough for Davey Boy to break that Hart.
[Vince] Indeed. It shall be very difficult.
A look of determination on the face of Bret Hart.
[Heenan] You know, and this is another match
where I could care less who wins.
[Vince] And Diana looking on.
[Heenan] Sure, she's a typical woman. Know why she's upset?
-[Vince] Why? -[Heenan] If Bret loses the title,
he won't buy her a gift for Christmas.
She's gonna want a present.
[Vince] Stop it.
"The Hitman" Bret Hart
I believe just as popular as "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith.
Two great competitors about to collide here.
[bell rings]
[Vince] Davey Boy, looking over at "The Hitman" Bret Hart.
And he's kissing that championship.
[Heenan] Is he kissing it goodbye? Or just kissing it?
[Vince] And what's happening now? The Hitman to the outside.
Ah.
There's one lucky young man among the 80,355
here at Wembley Stadium. [chuckles]
Oh, look at the spectacle, yes, of SummerSlam.
[spectator horns blaring]
[Heenan] Amazing.
Here we go.
[Vince] And a bit of a stare down here.
Psychological… Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
[Heenan] They're psyching each other out, that's what they're doing.
[Vince] This matchup, tearing the respective families apart.
[Heenan] Oh, I'm sick and tired of hearing about families being torn apart.
-[Vince] Really? -[Heenan] That's what it's about.
Winning the belt and getting all that money.
Who cares about your family?
They do nothing except come to your house at Thanksgiving,
try to mooch a meal.
[Vince] What a humanitarian, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.
-[Heenan] I'm the King of England. -[Vince] Yeah, right.
You're the king, all right.
And look at that maneuver by "The Hitman" Bret Hart! Ooh.
Whoa, how about that? Whoa, all the way to the outside!
[crowd cheers]
[Heenan] Look at the determination in his face.
I think he knows he's got it.
I don't know why he lets Whoopi Goldberg do his hair.
[Vince] What?
The Hitman, back up.
Back into the ring, a lesser man would have already been counted out after that.
Once again, locking up. Ooh. Nice takedown by The Hitman.
Leg scissor. Kick out.
Ooh, look at this. And again. No, missing with that.
So "The Hitman" Bret Hart, taking The British Bulldog over.
[Heenan] They're very evenly matched, if you think about it.
Neither of them are too bright.
[Vince] What do you mean by that?
Oh my! Over The British Bull…
One! For the championship! No. Whoa!
Small package. One, we get two and…
And a nice takeover again by "The Hitman" Bret Hart.
[Heenan] He took him over from his knees.
He had all the moves, all the speed, the agility
and the leverage. That's why they call him The Excellence of Execution.
I think he might be getting executed tonight.
-[Vince] Really? -[Heenan] Yep.
[Vince] "The Hitman" Bret Hart must contend
with the power of The British Bulldog.
Then again, as you mentioned, The British Bulldog must contend
with the technical skills of Bret Hart.
Oh! Nice escape.
Into the hammerlock. Driving his knee down.
And again.
Oh, what an elbow, right in the kisser.
[Heenan] Hit him right in the old fish and chips.
[Vince] Bret Hart now in control.
Much like the matchup between The Ultimate Warrior
and "The Macho Man" Randy Savage,
expect this to be a seesaw,
grueling-type battle.
Davey Boy. Look at this.
Trying to make the move… Ooh, what an escape, what a reversal!
What a takedown that was by The British Bulldog.
[Heenan] And if you think about it, good wrestling.
He didn't try to do anything cute or fancy.
-[Vince] Uh-oh. -[Heenan] Who is that? Mike McGuirk?
[Vince] And Diana looking on with great consternation.
[Heenan] They all look alike to me.
Went right down… Took him down with that hold and stayed on it.
[Vince] Both men back to their feet. Bret Hart now,
trying to escape, he goes downstairs, Davey Boy coming off the ropes…
Ooh, yes!
-And for the ride! Oh! Oh! -[crowd cheers]
[Heenan] Did he hit that corner.
He looks confident, I'm telling you.
He looks confident.
Well, he's got 80,000 of his neighbors in his backyard right here.
[Vince] Perhaps the dream of The British Bulldog will come true.
Oh, way up! Oh wow.
Bret Hart, back to his feet.
One of the truly great competitors in the WWE,
"The Hitman" Bret Hart.
Off the rope.
Whoa! One, it's gonna be over, a new champion… No, no, no!
[Heenan] Back to basics, took him back down
with the hold that got him there.
Listen to these people. Can you hear me?
Or are you just ignoring me?
What do you mean, yes?
[Vince] The British Bulldog applying more pressure to the shoulder area.
A very concerned Diana looking on.
Her greatest wish is that neither individual
is hurt as a result of the matchup.
Oh, slammed by "The Hitman" Bret Hart, but actually applied even more pressure
on the hold possessed by Davey Boy as a result of that.
[Heenan] He's bending the wrist backwards now.
You know, you can't beat a man if you can't grab the man.
If you're working a man's wrists and arms long enough,
he's gonna lose all strength in his hands.
-I know these things. -[Vince] Sure.
-[Heenan] I'm a broadcast journalist. -[Vince] Also the king.
[Heenan] The King of England.
Boy, will Davey Boy Smith be sucking up to me
if he wins that title.
[Vince] Oh, really, now?
Davey Boy Smith for the ride,
Bret Hart goes downstairs, back up, oh yes!
Nice maneuver by The Hitman.
[crowd boos]
And right now, the pound
is not the only English thing that's taking a beating.
No, it's The British Bulldog.
[Heenan] You mean the pound where he lives?
[Vince] I beg your pardon?
Not the dog pound, that's not the pound I'm talking about.
[Heenan] Make yourself clear.
I'm in a foreign country. Nobody here speaks English.
-[Vince] I thought you're King of England. -[Heenan] I am. Still a foreign country.
I'm moving the castle over to Beverly Hills.
[Vince] And now,
"The Hitman" Bret Hart… Would you stop it!
[Heenan] What? Stop what?
[Vince] Bret Hart,
content to grind it out now on The British Bulldog
as Davey Boy Smith makes his move.
Elbow to the midsection. Another one, driving to the midsection.
Shoulder block, how about that?
"The Hitman" Bret Hart saw him coming,
took a step with him and nailed him with the elbow again.
[Heenan] They're taking their time, they know what they're doing.
Nobody's rushing anything, they know they're gonna be here for a while.
And they know what's at stake.
[Vince] And oh my, reverse piledriver, yes.
"The Hitman" Bret Hart,
pouring it on.
Davey Boy Smith now, whipped to the ropes again.
This time, here we go… No. How about that?
[Heenan] He tried it twice.
[Vince] What a maneuver by "The Hitman" Bret Hart.
That could be it. No, count of two.
Wow, what a matchup.
[Heenan] Davey Boy's got to beat him, Bret Hart does not have to beat Davey Boy.
He could hold him in that hold for the next
60 minutes and walk away still Intercontinental Champion.
[Vince] And again, we must reinforce the fact that it'll take a pin
or a submission to win a championship in the WWE.
[Heenan] And I can't see The British Bulldog,
with 80,000 of his neighbors here, quitting.
[Vince] Stranger things have happened, Bobby Heenan,
in the World Wrestling Federation.
[Heenan] And I can't see Bret Hart quitting.
And giving up the title.
[Vince] And to the rope, coming off.
Down goes The British Bulldog.
Bret Hart, right back at him.
Leapfrog by The British Bulldog, trying to hook him, yes, nice maneuver.
[crowd cheers]
So now it's The British Bulldog,
with things swinging back his way… Headbutt.
The Hitman for the ride, to the buckle. Oh my.
[Heenan] The first time he's ever used his head.
[Vince] And again, here comes… Ooh, forget about it!
"The Hitman" Bret Hart almost took The British Bulldog's head right off.
-[crowd boos] -[Vince] And now, this
capacity crowd of 80,355
beginning to show their partisanship. Down goes… Oh no!
[Heenan] Oh yeah! The Bulldog just got bulldogged.
[Vince] "The Hitman" Bret Hart,
on the outside, on the apron, but wait a minute, look, he's going up.
All the way up.
[Heenan] He's in trouble now.
[Vince] On the top, no, The British Bulldog catches him.
-Bret Hart, for the ride. -[crowd cheers]
[Vince] And now Davey Boy Smith goes to the outside.
The British Bulldog's gonna try it himself, all the way up to the top rope.
Bret Hart… No!
Look at that. Bret Hart playing possum.
[Heenan] That's funny, Bret Hart was not moving.
He was motionless, then all of a sudden, boom.
He is setting the Bulldog up for exactly what he wants him to do, make mistakes.
[Vince] "The Hitman" Bret Hart, the wily veteran.
And again, we hear it, the response from this somewhat partisan crowd.
Behind now, Davey Boy Smith,
shoving… No, no, look at this! Right out!
My goodness, right in front of us!
[crowd boos]
[Vince] A clever maneuver on the part of "The Hitman" Bret Hart.
Wait a minute, he is being booed.
[Heenan] What are these limeys booing for?
-[Vince] Stop it. -[Heenan] It's a good move.
[Vince] It was an excellent move, nonetheless.
I believe that this capacity crowd is so caught up
in the pageantry, so caught up in the excitement of SummerSlam,
they just can't help but root for The British Bulldog.
He's one of their own,
here in London, England.
And what a golden opportunity
for The British Bulldog to become Intercontinental Champion.
[Heenan] One of their own, huh?
-[Vince] Oh my goodness. -[Heenan] Oh, did you see that?
[Vince] I've never seen that before, ever.
[Heenan] He about broke his neck. He may have!
Well, you're gonna have to take the hound home, honey.
[Vince] Unfortunately, this is turning perhaps into a nightmare for Diana.
Oh no, look at that!
[Heenan] How bad does he want to hold on to that belt?
He doesn't care if the Smith family likes him.
He wants to retain his title.
And The British Bulldog shoved back into the ring.
"The Hitman" Bret Hart with all the momentum in the world.
[Heenan] And I thought The Bulldog had it from the beginning,
'cause he showed that confidence. But he is hurt, he is definitely hurt.
[Vince] Davey Boy Smith whipped to the… Oh, was he ever.
[Heenan] 'Cause he's British.
That makes him a quitter.
[Vince] What?
[Heenan] Well, don't you know that?
[Vince] The respective families of both individuals
looking on with great interest.
Neckbreaker.
-[Heenan] Davey Boy is hurt. -[Vince] The cover! One, two and… No.
Still a kick out by "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith.
[Heenan] But he barely got out of that one.
[Vince] What a forearm uppercut.
And I can't believe Davey Boy is still on his feet.
Look at this, my goodness.
[Heenan] I'll tell you, Lennox Lewis throws a punch like that,
he'll win his fights.
[Vince] Dropkick by The Hitman.
[Heenan] Seems to me The Hitman smells it. He can taste it.
He knows he's got him where he wants him right now.
He is gonna put him away.
In front of all his neighbors.
[Vince] And Lennox Lewis, as you mentioned earlier,
will attempt to put Razor Ruddock away
here in London as well. Oh my!
Oh no!
[Heenan] Razor Ramon is fighting Joe Louis?
[Vince] Razor Ruddock. Here's a cover. One, two, and… No!
[horn chant blares from audience]
Indeed, just as "The Hitman" Bret Hart and The British Bulldog
have a date with destiny here tonight at SummerSlam,
Lennox Lewis will square off against Razor Ruddock on October 31.
[Heenan] Halloween.
[Vince] "The Hitman" Bret Hart now.
In total control of the matchup.
[Heenan] He's been in total control for a long time.
[Vince] And here we go for the ride.
[Heenan] A short suplex, I bet.
[Vince] Yes!
-[Heenan] That one takes a lot out of you. -[Vince] One, two!
No.
[Heenan] There's a little fight left in that old hound, isn't there?
[Vince] An old hound?
[Heenan] Oh, isn't he a good-looking guy?
They should put his face on a stamp.
Or we should stomp on his face, one or the other.
[Vince] Davey Boy Smith has been top dog for some time.
[Heenan] Bowwow.
Yeah, you can see the fleas jumping off him from here.
[Vince] Ooh, my.
Oh, look at that! What a maneuver, two, and… Yes!
No, whoa, whoa, so close.
I thought that was it for sure.
Again, Diana looking on with great interest.
But her interest in this matchup different than the
80-some-odd-thousand. Ooh, my.
[Heenan] She'd rather her husband wins, I know it.
[Vince] You don't know.
[Heenan] Well, she's not gonna mooch money off the family like she does her husband.
[Vince] "Hitman" Bret Hart, down with the elbow!
And that could do it.
That could do it, Bret Hart still the Intercontinental… No.
[Heenan] I'm telling you, that mutt's got a little fight left in him yet.
[Vince] Hard right hand to the back of the head.
[both] Look at that.
[Vince] A yank of the head.
[crowd boos]
[Heenan] He won't do that to Bret Hart.
There's too much grease in his hair for him to hold on.
[Vince] And again, the partisan crowd, a moment ago,
booing "The Hitman" Bret Hart.
And the snap. Once again, in complete control,
and now Bret Hart begins to dominate the tempo of this matchup.
[Heenan] That's right, and he's leaning on him now. He's cutting off his air.
Look at the way he's got the Bull, you can't breathe good bent over,
when a guy's choking off your air.
Yep, tea time is over.
You can put away the crumpets,
put away the lemon.
[Vince] And that's it! That'll do it!
[Heenan] Night night.
Sweetheart.
[Vince] "The Hitman" Bret Hart with a sleeper hold,
and "British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith
reaching for the rope, way too far away.
What a matchup this has been, nonetheless.
[Heenan] He's down to both knees now.
[Vince] Give The British Bulldog credit.
This has been a tremendous effort on his part
to become Intercontinental Champion.
-Wait a minute. -[Heenan] Look at that dog crawl.
[Vince] He's got it. He hooked the rope.
He hooked the rope.
Wait a minute, let him go.
"The Hitman" Bret Hart better…
He better let that hold go.
He's gonna cause some permanent damage.
Bret Hart almost risking disqualification.
[Heenan] To who?
The Bulldog?
Yeah, like you're gonna really mess up his mind, huh?
-[Vince] Brother against brother-in-law… -[Heenan] Oh, they're brother-in-laws?
[Vince] …as far as Diana is concerned, look at this.
Oh my!
Again, back into the sleeper hold.
[Heenan] I think he's choking him. But it doesn't matter.
Come on, that's it.
It's over.
[Vince] This family feud is just about over.
[Heenan] It's like a civil war.
[Vince] It's been an uncivil war.
[Heenan] Oh, excuse me.
[Vince] The British Bulldog,
is out, but yet, it seems as though
he won't give up.
[Heenan] Come on, referee, raise his hand and check.
Oh no, that puppy's out.
He knows he's got him now.
Night night, limey. It's all over.
[Vince] And… Whoa!
[Heenan] Whoa!
Bring me another order of tea and crumpets, I got some fight left.
[Vince] Back to the corner, the hold broken!
-But right back with it again! -[Heenan] He's got it again.
[Vince] "Hitman" Bret Hart very smart to go right back to the same hold.
[Heenan] This is it, this is it, he went down.
He didn't stay on his feet throughout. He's gotten up now.
[Vince] Where in the world is he getting the strength from? Oh.
That, however, took something out of The Hitman.
The back of his head snapping back into the buckle.
Now a slugfest!
[Heenan] Brother-in-laws just punching it out, I like it.
[Vince] To the rope and up!
Oh, up and… No! Oh no, look at that!
[Heenan] Shish kebab, anyone?
-It looks like-- -[Vince] Bret Hart taking a bad fall.
[Heenan] Looks… Diana… Looks like Diana Hart's got a new sister.
[Vince] Oh, and a clothesline by The British Bulldog.
Now momentum shifting back unquestionably the other way.
And another one! The cover!
One, two, no!
[Heenan] Barely, though. Barely did he get out of there.
[Vince] Unbelievable strength possessed by… The cover again, two and…
Two and a half again.
[Heenan] What a match.
I don't care who wins, but what a match.
[Vince] Well, we certainly found out there's no quit in The British Bulldog,
and we're finding out the very same thing here
with "The Hitman" Bret Hart.
Look at that, ready to go up.
-Yes, way up! -[crowd cheers]
[Heenan] Four, five, six, seven, eight.
[Vince] Whoa, what a suplex!
-[Heenan] Almost ten seconds. -[Vince] Cover that man!
We have a new champion, yes… No!
-[Heenan] Oh no! -[Vince] No. No. No.
[Heenan] Every eye here is focused, right in the middle of that ring.
[Vince] Bret Hart, whipped to the buck… Oh no!
That'll do it for sure. The one, two, and…
[Heenan] That just about took his head off.
[Vince] Can you believe this?
The British Bulldog
has to be getting frustrated by now.
-[Heenan] What's he going for now? -[crowd cheers]
He's wasting too much time.
You want it, dummy, you better go get it. You're wasting time.
[Vince] He was signifying he's gonna go for the Powerslam.
That could very well be the way
The British Bulldog wins the Intercontinental Championship,
if in fact he does.
[Heenan] There's a dog taking another mutt for a walk.
[Vince] Here we go.
-And down! Yes! -[crowd goes wild]
One, two, yeah, no…
-No! No! No! -[Heenan] I don't know anymore.
-[Vince] No. -[Heenan] I can't believe it.
Look at Davey Boy. Look at Davey Boy. He can't believe it.
[Vince] I don't believe anyone's ever kicked out of that.
What else does The British Bulldog have to do to Bret Hart
to win the championship?
[Heenan] That's the turning point. When he couldn't beat him
with his own finishing maneuver,
and as stymied as he is,
that's where he lost it right there.
He can't beat Bret Hart. He can't beat The Hitman.
[Vince] You may have a point there.
[Heenan] Of course I have a point there.
I'm the King of England.
Moron.
[Vince] Davey Boy… No, from behind, "The Hitman" Bret Hart
Suplex, it's over. Two, yes!
No.
[Heenan] Are you kidding me?
Only one man I know that could get up from all these moves.
That's Ric Flair.
[Vince] Oh, please.
[Heenan] Is there anything they haven't done?
[Vince] I don't believe so.
Bret Hart, hooking… No, Davey Boy blocks the attempt at a suplex.
And blocks it again.
"The Hitman" Bret Hart, whoa, goes up to the top rope.
-[Heenan] Bret is hurt. -[Vince] Bret Hart, almost went--
-[Heenan] The top! He's gonna suplex him. -[Vince] Oh no. Oh no.
-[Heenan] From the top rope! -[Vince] Don't tell me this!
-From the top rope! -[crowd roars]
-[Heenan] We've got a new champion. -[Vince] That'll do it. One, two…
Ye… Oh no, I can't believe it.
[Heenan] Wow.
[Vince] I think we've seen
just about every wrestling move there is to see thus far
in this seesaw matchup.
[Heenan] What a match.
[Vince] Off the rope.
And again! Oh!
Double clothesline, both men out.
[Heenan] What a match, huh, McMahon?
[Vince] Unbelievable, what a night.
What a SummerSlam.
-[Heenan] He's going for the Sharpshooter. -[Vince] Yes.
[Heenan] He's gonna set him up for the Sharpshooter.
[Vince] Bret Hart, having presence of mind…
[Heenan] Flat on his back, half unconscious,
knows enough to do this.
He can't turn him.
He can't… He can turn him.
[Vince] Here he goes!
[Heenan] I knew he could turn him.
[Vince] What?
[Heenan] He's got the hind legs of that mutt.
[Vince] Oh yes, the Sharpshooter applied, it's all over!
[Heenan] Nobody's ever gotten out of this.
Give it up. Give it up.
Give it up, you can have some tea.
Take the easy way out, pal.
Give it up.
[Vince] Imagine the pain The British Bulldog is in!
Imag… Yes! And yes, he saves himself.
[Heenan] If you don't like it, you shouldn't be here.
You should be home doing dishes, or…
[Vince] Stop it.
[Heenan] …washing clothes.
[Vince] Unbelievable intestinal fortitude on the part of both participants.
Sunset flip!
-[crowd erupts] -[bell rings]
[Finkel] Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this bout
and new Intercontinental Champion,
The British Bulldog!
[Vince] I can't believe it!
One of the greatest
wrestling matches of all time
has just taken place
here at SummerSlam.
The new Intercontinental Champion,
The British Bulldog.
[Heenan] And he did it in his own backyard.
[Vince] And 80,355
jam-packing Wembley Stadium to witness this spectacle.
And hopefully, neither individual
is hurt that badly.
"The Hitman" Bret Hart…
[Heenan] That's the belt, stupid. Put it on, you won it.
[Vince] "The Hitman" Bret Hart
unquestionably one of the greatest Intercontinental Champions of all time.
What a matchup. What a matchup.
[Heenan] He's crying.
He is crying, I've never seen a dog cry.
[Vince] And standing over "The Hitman" Bret Hart,
the new Intercontinental Champion,
brother-in-laws.
And Davey Boy Smith extends the hand of friendship.
[Heenan] You got him down now, waffle him with the belt.
[Vince] "The Hitman" Bret Hart turning his back
on the hand of The British Bulldog.
[crowd boos]
[Vince] The matchup that tore the respective families apart.
[Heenan] Why shake a guy's hand that beat you?
[Vince] Oh no.
Diana crying.
[Heenan] We're gonna have some more here, we're gonna go at it.
They're not done with each other yet.
The mark of a good sore loser.
[Vince] There it is! Yes!
[crowd goes wild]
["Rule, Britannia!" playing]
What a SummerSlam.
What a matchup.
A new Intercontinental Champion, look at this.
Diana joins her husband.
[Heenan] Of course she's happy.
[Vince] Diana joins her brother.
What a matchup.
Unquestionably,
one of the greatest here tonight,
indeed, it's gotta be the greatest SummerSlam of all time!
There you see it! Diana
between her husband and her brother.
Tears of joy for Diana.
What a matchup!
What a SummerSlam!
[Heenan] What a family.
[Vince] Yes, what a family.
[Heenan] One minute there's jealousy running through the family,
the next minute, they're hugging.
[Vince] This has been a family affair,
this has been SummerSlam!
We hope you have enjoyed the grandeur,
the drama, the spectacle.
As 80,355 fans
here from Wembley have looked on.
So long, everybody, from London, England.
What a SummerSlam!
[Okerlund] Cheerio, everybody.
