[dramatic music playing]

2
00:00:02,502 --> 00:00:06,173
[announcer] The World Wrestling
Entertainment, for over 50 years,

3
00:00:06,239 --> 00:00:09,575
the revolutionary force
in sports entertainment.

4
00:00:11,545 --> 00:00:13,814
[dramatic music playing]

5
00:00:13,881 --> 00:00:18,585
[narrator] The monsters,
they wear many masks in our world.

6
00:00:18,651 --> 00:00:21,522
Some are deranged, psychotic beings,

7
00:00:21,587 --> 00:00:25,157
unaware of the insanity
that festers within.

8
00:00:25,826 --> 00:00:31,732
Others are brutal, ruthless assailants,
executioners of a sinister plan.

9
00:00:32,698 --> 00:00:37,336
The monster slayers,
they too are varied and unique.

10
00:00:37,404 --> 00:00:40,574
Shawn Michaels, the WWE Champion,

11
00:00:40,641 --> 00:00:44,478
yields 200 pounds
to the beast known as Vader,

12
00:00:44,544 --> 00:00:48,015
but he counters
with guile, superb athleticism,

13
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,050
and the courage of a gallant champion.

14
00:00:51,117 --> 00:00:54,154
And then there's The Undertaker,

15
00:00:54,221 --> 00:00:57,991
the mysterious light
in a world of darkness.

16
00:00:58,058 --> 00:01:03,596
To exorcise the demon Mankind,
he cannot rely upon convention.

17
00:01:03,663 --> 00:01:06,700
In this cold, unforgiving battleground,

18
00:01:06,767 --> 00:01:09,803
he must embrace the horror to defeat it.

19
00:01:10,203 --> 00:01:14,140
For the monsters to be abolished,
David must slay Goliath,

20
00:01:14,408 --> 00:01:17,945
the reaper must claim another damned soul.

21
00:01:18,512 --> 00:01:21,782
But good doesn't always triumph over evil.

22
00:01:21,848 --> 00:01:25,051
Sometimes victory eludes heroics.

23
00:01:25,118 --> 00:01:29,389
Sometimes the horror lives on.

24
00:01:29,455 --> 00:01:31,058
[music fades]

25
00:01:31,692 --> 00:01:33,994
[upbeat music playing]

26
00:01:35,128 --> 00:01:38,131
[announcer] From beautiful,
historic Cleveland, Ohio,

27
00:01:38,198 --> 00:01:41,101
home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,

28
00:01:41,167 --> 00:01:46,839
majestic Jacobs Field,
and the spectacular new Gund Arena,

29
00:01:46,907 --> 00:01:52,479
supersized Stridex pads presents
WWE SummerSlam.

30
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,548
[crowd cheering]

31
00:01:56,083 --> 00:01:59,186
[Vince] Welcome, everyone,
to Cleveland, Ohio!

32
00:01:59,318 --> 00:02:00,920
[explosions]

33
00:02:01,622 --> 00:02:04,056
Welcome to the new American city!

34
00:02:04,991 --> 00:02:07,693
Welcome to the Gund Arena!

35
00:02:08,294 --> 00:02:11,565
Indeed, welcome to SummerSlam!

36
00:02:12,065 --> 00:02:15,969
Vince McMahon here
along with Mr. Perfect and J.R.

37
00:02:16,036 --> 00:02:20,207
Indeed, it's the hottest night
of World Wrestling Entertainment action

38
00:02:20,273 --> 00:02:21,340
in the whole summer,

39
00:02:21,408 --> 00:02:23,543
and history likely
to be made here tonight.

40
00:02:23,609 --> 00:02:26,446
You talk about history,
Shawn Michaels tonight,

41
00:02:26,513 --> 00:02:29,882
I believe, will lose the World Wrestling
Entertainment Championship

42
00:02:29,950 --> 00:02:32,052
to The Man They Call Vader,
and I can't wait.

43
00:02:32,119 --> 00:02:33,453
What about the boiler room?

44
00:02:33,519 --> 00:02:35,856
Well, I'll tell you something,
Shawn Michaels has been living a dream,

45
00:02:35,922 --> 00:02:39,025
and it's gonna be a nightmare
for either The Undertaker or Mankind.

46
00:02:39,091 --> 00:02:41,128
I gotta think
it's gonna be a nightmare for both.

47
00:02:41,194 --> 00:02:43,664
They'll never be the same after tonight.

48
00:02:43,730 --> 00:02:45,197
Indeed, there's a--

49
00:02:45,265 --> 00:02:47,768
what an electric feeling here
in this capacity crowd,

50
00:02:47,834 --> 00:02:50,070
anticipating the arrival--
Here he comes now.

51
00:02:50,137 --> 00:02:52,873
On the very first matchup,
Savio Vega on his way.

52
00:02:52,939 --> 00:02:54,207
-["Star of Vega" playing]
-[bell ringing]

53
00:02:54,274 --> 00:02:56,942
[Howard] This contest is scheduled
for one fall.

54
00:02:57,010 --> 00:03:00,047
Approaching the ring
from the South Bronx, New York,

55
00:03:00,113 --> 00:03:01,314
weighing 254 pounds…

56
00:03:01,381 --> 00:03:03,450
[Vince] Savio Vega kicking off SummerSlam.

57
00:03:03,517 --> 00:03:04,618
[Howard] …Savio Vega!

58
00:03:04,685 --> 00:03:08,120
[Vince] Savio Vega squaring off
against Owen Hart.

59
00:03:08,188 --> 00:03:10,656
This is likely to be
an extraordinary encounter.

60
00:03:10,724 --> 00:03:13,025
[Ross] Both these athletes are
very fundamentally sound.

61
00:03:13,093 --> 00:03:16,530
Savio Vega's a fiery competitor,
and there's certainly a man

62
00:03:16,596 --> 00:03:19,533
that would like
to score a big win here at SummerSlam

63
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:22,102
against the very talented Owen Hart.

64
00:03:22,168 --> 00:03:24,203
Both of them very skilled in martial arts.

65
00:03:24,271 --> 00:03:27,040
This should be
a very offensive-minded matchup.

66
00:03:27,107 --> 00:03:29,843
[Vince] There's a good look
at the beautiful Gund Arena,

67
00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:31,143
ladies and gentlemen.

68
00:03:31,210 --> 00:03:34,715
Yes, the site of this year's SummerSlam.

69
00:03:35,381 --> 00:03:37,917
And anything can happen
here in the World Wrestling Entertainment.

70
00:03:37,983 --> 00:03:39,486
That's for certain.

71
00:03:39,553 --> 00:03:41,488
[Ross] No kidding, Vince.
That's exactly right.

72
00:03:41,554 --> 00:03:44,391
You know, about 18,000 fans are here
with us now,

73
00:03:44,458 --> 00:03:47,527
as we're gonna kick this SummerSlam off

74
00:03:47,594 --> 00:03:50,964
in what I think will be
a very offensive-minded contest

75
00:03:51,597 --> 00:03:57,269
between Savio Vega and the-- of course,
the Slammy Award-winning Owen Hart.

76
00:03:58,204 --> 00:04:01,808
Both Savio Vega and Owen Hart,
I would categorize,

77
00:04:01,875 --> 00:04:04,411
as outstanding superstars,

78
00:04:04,477 --> 00:04:08,815
who may be underrated
by some here in the WWE.

79
00:04:09,583 --> 00:04:12,585
[Vince] All right.
Here he comes, Owen Hart.

80
00:04:14,154 --> 00:04:18,224
Or I should say
the Slammy Award-winning Owen Hart, folks.

81
00:04:20,594 --> 00:04:22,094
Yes, indeed.

82
00:04:22,162 --> 00:04:26,066
Capacity crowd getting settled down

83
00:04:26,133 --> 00:04:28,702
and getting ready for SummerSlam.

84
00:04:28,769 --> 00:04:32,171
And you will note the cast
on the left arm of Owen Hart.

85
00:04:32,239 --> 00:04:33,440
[Mr. Perfect] He's a champion.

86
00:04:33,507 --> 00:04:37,344
[Vince] That's the slowest-healing injury
perhaps of all time here in the WWE.

87
00:04:37,409 --> 00:04:39,546
[Mr. Perfect] It's a tribute
to how really tough Owen Hart is,

88
00:04:39,613 --> 00:04:42,149
to be out here
wrestling with a broken wrist.

89
00:04:42,215 --> 00:04:44,017
[Ross] He could have had
a bone marrow transplant

90
00:04:44,084 --> 00:04:45,852
and be well by now. My goodness.

91
00:04:46,986 --> 00:04:49,656
[Vince] And, apparently,
Savio Vega questioning indeed

92
00:04:49,723 --> 00:04:52,526
whether or not Owen Hart
should be allowed to wear that cast now,

93
00:04:52,626 --> 00:04:55,082
for how many weeks has it been
since the initial injury,

94
00:04:55,181 --> 00:04:56,695
or I should say
how many months has it been?

95
00:04:56,763 --> 00:04:58,131
[Mr. Perfect] Well, McMahon,
let me put it this way.

96
00:04:58,231 --> 00:04:59,532
-He just keeps re-injuring it.
-[bell ringing]

97
00:04:59,599 --> 00:05:01,401
Being on the road,
wrestling in all the different towns

98
00:05:01,501 --> 00:05:03,603
across the country,
it doesn't have a chance to heal.

99
00:05:03,669 --> 00:05:05,438
[Vince] I see. Conspicuous by his absence,

100
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,640
as the bell rings,
by the way, ladies and gentlemen,

101
00:05:07,707 --> 00:05:11,010
is Jim Cornette, the manager of Owen Hart.

102
00:05:11,211 --> 00:05:14,848
Would you care to speculate, J.R.,
where Jim-- where he might be?

103
00:05:14,914 --> 00:05:18,818
[Ross] Well, I think that Cornette
all day has been sequestered with Vader,

104
00:05:18,919 --> 00:05:20,921
been going over last-minute strategy.

105
00:05:20,986 --> 00:05:22,556
Cornette really trying
to get in Vader's head here.

106
00:05:22,621 --> 00:05:23,957
[Vince] Look out.
Look out from behind now.

107
00:05:24,024 --> 00:05:25,425
[Mr. Perfect] Oh. Now, wait a minute.

108
00:05:25,491 --> 00:05:27,661
-[Vince] Well, the official, rightfully…
-[Ross] Uh-oh.

109
00:05:27,727 --> 00:05:29,895
[Vince] …pulled Owen Hart
into a neutral position.

110
00:05:29,962 --> 00:05:32,032
[Ross] Wait a minute.
That official is just telling Owen Hart

111
00:05:32,132 --> 00:05:35,335
that if he uses that cast in this matchup,
he's gonna be disqualified.

112
00:05:35,702 --> 00:05:37,469
[Vince] Exactly what
he was attempting to do.

113
00:05:37,736 --> 00:05:41,174
We have seen Owen Hart strike
an individual over the head

114
00:05:41,241 --> 00:05:44,244
with that cast and obtain victory
behind an official's back,

115
00:05:44,311 --> 00:05:48,849
and all the officials now are pretty wise
to the trickery of one Owen Hart.

116
00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:54,120
Notwithstanding what happened
to his cast last Monday on Raw, J.R.,

117
00:05:54,187 --> 00:05:56,690
when Shawn Michaels pulled it
right off his arm.

118
00:05:56,789 --> 00:05:58,525
[Ross] Yeah.
Shawn used that cast as a weapon.

119
00:05:58,592 --> 00:05:59,726
That's what it is.

120
00:05:59,793 --> 00:06:01,094
A cast is a weapon.

121
00:06:01,161 --> 00:06:04,397
I don't think there's anything wrong
at all with Owen Hart's arm.

122
00:06:04,496 --> 00:06:06,800
[Vince] Shawn was attempting
to use it, again,

123
00:06:06,866 --> 00:06:09,936
not too different from what was going
in the squared circle with Vader.

124
00:06:10,003 --> 00:06:14,974
We all saw Shawn Michaels
at the conclusion of last week's Raw.

125
00:06:15,041 --> 00:06:17,176
He was in a poor condition,
to say the least,

126
00:06:17,244 --> 00:06:19,079
and, obviously,
it's nice to see in the Free For All

127
00:06:19,145 --> 00:06:23,082
that he is ready for action here
tonight here at SummerSlam.

128
00:06:23,149 --> 00:06:25,352
[Ross] You know, I was talking
to some fans on the way in today,

129
00:06:25,418 --> 00:06:27,354
and Owen Hart came from-- came behind us,

130
00:06:27,419 --> 00:06:30,222
and somebody just asked him a question,
how his brother Bret was doing,

131
00:06:30,289 --> 00:06:31,691
-and you couldn't believe…
-[Vince] Look at that.

132
00:06:31,758 --> 00:06:33,126
[Ross] …what Owen had say to those kids.

133
00:06:33,426 --> 00:06:34,628
[Vince] And-- Oh, yeah.

134
00:06:34,693 --> 00:06:36,695
[Mr. Perfect] Now, see--
you see Savio going right after

135
00:06:36,796 --> 00:06:38,965
-the broken arm of Owen Hart?
-[Vince] It's not broken.

136
00:06:39,032 --> 00:06:41,635
[Mr. Perfect] Why don't you just wrestle
a man, Savio? Leave the arm alone.

137
00:06:41,700 --> 00:06:44,003
Show the world
you're a better wrestler or not.

138
00:06:44,104 --> 00:06:46,339
[Vince] Savio Vega continuing
to work on the left arm and shoulder.

139
00:06:46,406 --> 00:06:47,707
And over goes Owen Hart.

140
00:06:47,774 --> 00:06:49,842
[Ross] I mean,
if Owen Hart is so incapacitated,

141
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:52,378
how did he pass a pre-match physical
to wrestle here?

142
00:06:52,445 --> 00:06:53,546
That's what I wanna know.

143
00:06:53,613 --> 00:06:55,582
[Mr. Perfect] Well,
Cornette had a talk with the doctor.

144
00:06:55,649 --> 00:06:56,950
[Vince] Oh, yeah, right.

145
00:06:57,683 --> 00:06:59,352
Cornette does a lot of talking these days.

146
00:06:59,419 --> 00:07:01,888
Cornette, ladies and gentlemen,
as in Jim Cornette,

147
00:07:01,955 --> 00:07:04,691
perhaps tonight becomes the manager

148
00:07:04,758 --> 00:07:06,859
of the World Wrestling
Entertainment Champion

149
00:07:06,926 --> 00:07:09,561
when The Man They Call Vader
meets Shawn Michaels.

150
00:07:09,628 --> 00:07:11,364
Big slam here by Savio Vega.

151
00:07:11,431 --> 00:07:13,700
Off the rope and-- Oh, nobody home.

152
00:07:14,501 --> 00:07:17,304
Owen Hart is quick, but not that quick.

153
00:07:17,370 --> 00:07:20,440
And there you saw, again,
he was going to strike him with that cast.

154
00:07:21,441 --> 00:07:24,977
[Ross] Both these athletes
will certainly take a lot of chances here.

155
00:07:25,311 --> 00:07:27,479
[Vince] And wait a minute,
I think we have a camera

156
00:07:27,546 --> 00:07:31,885
in the locker room of Vader
warming up for the matchup.

157
00:07:31,952 --> 00:07:34,587
Jim Cornette back there
with The Man They Call Vader.

158
00:07:35,188 --> 00:07:39,224
And if I were Owen Hart, I would--
I think I'd be a little slighted.

159
00:07:39,758 --> 00:07:42,262
Wouldn't you feel a little slighted
indeed right now?

160
00:07:42,929 --> 00:07:44,731
Jim Cornette concentrating on the title

161
00:07:44,798 --> 00:07:47,400
and certainly not showing any support
for Owen Hart whatsoever.

162
00:07:47,467 --> 00:07:48,935
[Mr. Perfect]
Well, you can't blame Jim Cornette

163
00:07:49,001 --> 00:07:50,303
for being in the back with Vader.

164
00:07:50,370 --> 00:07:54,073
Finally, Camp Cornette is gonna get
the World Wrestling Entertainment title,

165
00:07:54,140 --> 00:07:55,642
and it's gonna happen tonight.

166
00:07:57,243 --> 00:07:58,411
[Vince] And here we go.

167
00:07:58,477 --> 00:08:01,847
Savio Vega trying
to set up Owen Hart again.

168
00:08:01,914 --> 00:08:03,416
And up he goes.

169
00:08:03,816 --> 00:08:05,318
-And down.
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh.

170
00:08:07,219 --> 00:08:10,789
[Vince] Savio Vega in control
of the matchup against Owen Hart.

171
00:08:13,025 --> 00:08:17,296
That pesky Owen Hart
has obtained a cheap victory

172
00:08:17,364 --> 00:08:19,899
after victory with that cast.

173
00:08:19,965 --> 00:08:21,667
Notwithstanding
his extraordinary wrestling skill.

174
00:08:21,734 --> 00:08:23,236
-Let's give him credit for that.
-[Mr. Perfect] Yeah.

175
00:08:23,303 --> 00:08:24,471
He's a thinking man's wrestler.

176
00:08:24,570 --> 00:08:26,940
This guy knows what he's doing.
Very versatile in the ring.

177
00:08:27,007 --> 00:08:28,073
[Vince] Off the rope now.

178
00:08:28,140 --> 00:08:29,775
Vega down on the canvas.

179
00:08:30,275 --> 00:08:32,011
Owen Hart from the other side.

180
00:08:32,078 --> 00:08:34,014
Leapfrog by Savio Vega.
Vega trying to set him up.

181
00:08:34,079 --> 00:08:35,515
Yes. Nice body drop.

182
00:08:36,549 --> 00:08:39,251
Vega with an arm drag.
Yes. Over the hip. Nicely done.

183
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:41,755
Savio Vega cover.

184
00:08:41,821 --> 00:08:44,256
We get one, two--
and a kick-out by Owen Hart.

185
00:08:44,324 --> 00:08:46,226
[Ross] Nice succession
of offensive maneuvers.

186
00:08:46,292 --> 00:08:47,260
[screams] My arm!

187
00:08:47,327 --> 00:08:49,795
And Owen Hart lamenting
that his arm is being tortured,

188
00:08:49,863 --> 00:08:51,798
and I think
that's pretty much the name of the game.

189
00:08:51,898 --> 00:08:55,001
Hart, a two-time
former WWE Tag Team Champion,

190
00:08:55,068 --> 00:08:58,605
not to mention
the 1994 King of the Ring winner,

191
00:08:58,670 --> 00:09:00,840
so he's got great qualifications,

192
00:09:00,906 --> 00:09:02,942
in addition to being
the youngest of 12 children.

193
00:09:03,009 --> 00:09:05,812
So I guess he's been
competitive all his life. That last--

194
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:08,247
[Mr. Perfect] And the greatest
of all the Hart wrestlers is Owen.

195
00:09:08,747 --> 00:09:11,751
[Vince] So-- Oh no. Here we go.

196
00:09:12,285 --> 00:09:13,653
Savio Vega gets the victory-- No.

197
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,121
Oh, whoa.

198
00:09:15,688 --> 00:09:17,857
[Ross] Savio came off
that pinning predicament,

199
00:09:17,957 --> 00:09:19,192
couldn't get his balance,

200
00:09:19,292 --> 00:09:21,494
and then fell forward
right into the ring post.

201
00:09:21,961 --> 00:09:25,031
So Savio's left shoulder striking
the ring post.

202
00:09:25,365 --> 00:09:28,405
[Vince] All right. Let's see if Owen Hart
can capitalize now on Savio Vega.

203
00:09:28,505 --> 00:09:29,836
-And again-- Uh-oh.
-[Mr. Perfect] That's it.

204
00:09:29,903 --> 00:09:31,504
Stay right on the shoulder, Owen.

205
00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:35,675
[Vince] Owen Hart,
unquestionably, an opportunist.

206
00:09:35,742 --> 00:09:39,179
You mentioned before
his championship qualifications.

207
00:09:39,245 --> 00:09:42,148
Owen Hart, to a certain extent,
following in the footsteps

208
00:09:42,615 --> 00:09:45,752
of his older brother,
Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

209
00:09:47,053 --> 00:09:48,988
[Mr. Perfect] Do you have to
mention his name at SummerSlam

210
00:09:49,055 --> 00:09:50,290
around me, McMahon?

211
00:09:50,356 --> 00:09:53,425
[Vince] Always have to mention
the best there is, the best there was,

212
00:09:53,492 --> 00:09:56,762
and perhaps the best there ever will be
in "The Hitman" Bret Hart.

213
00:09:56,829 --> 00:09:59,399
And you wonder
if The Hitman is looking on,

214
00:09:59,466 --> 00:10:00,800
watching his brother in action.

215
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:02,202
[Mr. Perfect]
Well, what I was trying to get at,

216
00:10:02,268 --> 00:10:04,137
I owe Bret Hart one
at SummerSlam, if you recall.

217
00:10:04,204 --> 00:10:06,139
-[Ross] I remember that.
-[Mr. Perfect] Yeah, I'm sure you do.

218
00:10:06,206 --> 00:10:08,108
[Ross] You lost the Intercontinental title
to him at SummerSlam.

219
00:10:08,174 --> 00:10:10,843
[Mr. Perfect] I didn't lose it.
I-- Oh, what a move by--

220
00:10:10,910 --> 00:10:13,446
-[Vince] Oh no!
-[Ross] Change of subject, huh?

221
00:10:14,848 --> 00:10:20,120
[Vince] And Owen Hart may wanna put a cast
on Savio Vega's left arm after that.

222
00:10:20,185 --> 00:10:21,788
What a maneuver.

223
00:10:24,723 --> 00:10:25,725
[grunts]

224
00:10:25,791 --> 00:10:28,795
[Ross] Owen Hart has Savio Vega
in a very good position right now.

225
00:10:28,862 --> 00:10:31,564
Savio likes to use
his martial arts skills,

226
00:10:31,631 --> 00:10:33,632
spinning heel kick, thrust kick.

227
00:10:34,467 --> 00:10:36,302
He can't kick anybody right here.

228
00:10:36,368 --> 00:10:39,672
[Vince] Well, down on the mat,
right where Owen Hart wants him.

229
00:10:41,641 --> 00:10:45,578
Owen Hart, much like his brother Bret
and the other Hart brothers,

230
00:10:46,545 --> 00:10:50,449
learning many of the holds
from his dad, Stu Hart,

231
00:10:51,317 --> 00:10:53,786
in The Dungeon, so to speak,
as they called it, down in the basement.

232
00:10:53,853 --> 00:10:56,622
-[Mr. Perfect] These are submission holds.
-[Vince] The legendary Stu Hart. Yes.

233
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,194
And he certainly taught his sons well.

234
00:11:03,196 --> 00:11:07,733
However, I don't know that he's
necessarily as proud of Owen Hart

235
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,702
as he is of Bret.

236
00:11:09,769 --> 00:11:11,304
Not necessarily
in terms of accomplishments,

237
00:11:11,371 --> 00:11:13,072
but in terms of sportsmanship.

238
00:11:13,139 --> 00:11:15,275
[Mr. Perfect] Well, he's keep--
Owen's keeping the Hart name alive

239
00:11:15,341 --> 00:11:17,242
in wrestling. I think
that's what's important to Stu.

240
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:21,447
[Ross] I think Owen's total lack
of character has been disappointing

241
00:11:21,514 --> 00:11:22,882
to his mother and father.

242
00:11:22,949 --> 00:11:24,617
-[Vince] Look at this. Oh.
-[Ross] That's a good move.

243
00:11:24,717 --> 00:11:25,752
Armbar takedown.

244
00:11:25,818 --> 00:11:27,286
[Mr. Perfect] That could be it.

245
00:11:27,353 --> 00:11:29,389
[Vince] And here we go.
One, two, and it's--

246
00:11:29,454 --> 00:11:30,456
-[Mr. Perfect] Yeah.
-[Vince] And--

247
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:33,159
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh, he was down.
-[Vince] That was close. That was close.

248
00:11:37,530 --> 00:11:40,766
Owen Hart continuing
to apply pressure here

249
00:11:41,568 --> 00:11:43,703
on the left arm
and shoulder of Savio Vega.

250
00:11:43,770 --> 00:11:45,137
[Ross] Another submission maneuver
right here.

251
00:11:45,204 --> 00:11:48,975
Owen Hart trying
to hyperextend the left elbow.

252
00:11:49,041 --> 00:11:51,778
Remember, Savio, just a few moments ago,
struck the ring post.

253
00:11:51,843 --> 00:11:52,911
-Uh-oh.
-[Vince] Uh-oh.

254
00:11:53,012 --> 00:11:55,882
-That's one way-- Is Savio biting him?
-[Ross] He sure is.

255
00:11:57,850 --> 00:12:00,219
And I can prove it.
Look at those teeth marks.

256
00:12:00,286 --> 00:12:02,288
[Vince] One way
to break a hold, I suppose.

257
00:12:02,689 --> 00:12:05,324
And, again, not necessarily
the most sportsmanlike thing to do,

258
00:12:05,391 --> 00:12:07,694
but sometimes
you have to fight fire with fire.

259
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,930
And look at this.
Savio Vega locked in the rope now.

260
00:12:14,567 --> 00:12:16,703
Owen Hart hammering down on the arm.

261
00:12:19,706 --> 00:12:21,107
Whoo!

262
00:12:21,174 --> 00:12:23,876
[crowd chatter]

263
00:12:23,943 --> 00:12:26,246
[Vince laughs] Blatant slap.

264
00:12:28,647 --> 00:12:31,351
[Ross] Owen Hart can be
very inflammatory--

265
00:12:31,416 --> 00:12:33,151
-[Vince] Oh.
-[Ross] Hello.

266
00:12:33,218 --> 00:12:34,687
How do you do?

267
00:12:35,921 --> 00:12:38,024
[Vince] Owen Hart is inflammatory,
all right.

268
00:12:38,091 --> 00:12:39,391
[Mr. Perfect] You said what?

269
00:12:39,459 --> 00:12:40,959
[Vince] Both physically and verbally.

270
00:12:41,026 --> 00:12:42,328
Look at that. Yes.

271
00:12:42,395 --> 00:12:45,331
Savio Vega-- Look, Owen Hart right back.

272
00:12:45,397 --> 00:12:48,935
What a matchup we have
kicking things off here at SummerSlam.

273
00:12:49,435 --> 00:12:53,106
And, again, Savio Vega down
on his knees and-- Wait a minute.

274
00:12:53,171 --> 00:12:55,842
-We have a visitor walking this way.
-[Ross] Indeed, we do.

275
00:12:55,908 --> 00:12:58,578
[Vince] A number of individuals
about ringside looking over

276
00:12:58,645 --> 00:13:00,880
at the entrance of the arena, and, uh…

277
00:13:01,747 --> 00:13:03,016
[Mr. Perfect] Yes,
I think that's Clarence.

278
00:13:03,082 --> 00:13:07,053
[Vince] That's-- That's Clarence Mason.
Mr. Mason-- Uh-oh.

279
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,656
Representing, of course,
Camp Cornette, legally,

280
00:13:09,722 --> 00:13:12,558
and also representing-- Oh, look out.

281
00:13:12,625 --> 00:13:15,093
Representing Crush, professionally.

282
00:13:15,161 --> 00:13:20,199
Yes, Mr. Mason is, in fact,
the acting manager-- Oh, here we go.

283
00:13:20,333 --> 00:13:22,769
We have one, two, and he-- No.

284
00:13:22,834 --> 00:13:24,670
-[Mr. Perfect] No.
-[Vince] No, he didn't.

285
00:13:26,305 --> 00:13:29,776
Oh, look at that. What a maneuver.
Right to the back of the head.

286
00:13:29,842 --> 00:13:32,078
And Clarence Mason coming down
to take a little closer look.

287
00:13:32,145 --> 00:13:33,212
Let's do it, Owen!

288
00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:35,247
[Ross] What a martial arts
head kick there, the enzuigiri,

289
00:13:35,314 --> 00:13:37,283
-by Owen Hart that caught Savio--
-[Vince] Wait a minute.

290
00:13:37,349 --> 00:13:39,551
-[Ross] …right in the back of the head.
[Vince] A cover. One, two--

291
00:13:39,651 --> 00:13:40,752
And that's enough to get him.

292
00:13:40,819 --> 00:13:42,355
-[Mr. Perfect] Yeah.
-[Vince] Yes.

293
00:13:42,421 --> 00:13:44,924
[Ross] It's kind of unusual
for Clarence Mason to be here.

294
00:13:45,024 --> 00:13:47,126
[Vince] That should get him.
Here we go. Look at this.

295
00:13:47,193 --> 00:13:48,861
Double feature action.
Right on the back of the head.

296
00:13:48,928 --> 00:13:50,762
[Mr. Perfect] Oh,
we've seen that work before.

297
00:13:50,829 --> 00:13:52,165
[Vince] We certainly have.

298
00:13:52,231 --> 00:13:53,933
And I guess that was a count
of two. Wait a minute.

299
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,535
This is likely to be a count of three.

300
00:13:55,601 --> 00:13:57,569
-[Mr. Perfect] No.
-[Vince] Oh, that was so close.

301
00:13:57,704 --> 00:14:01,774
You wonder, is Clarence Mason moving in
on Jim Cornette's territory?

302
00:14:01,841 --> 00:14:04,209
I mean, we talked, again,

303
00:14:04,276 --> 00:14:08,548
about what it would be like
to have Clarence Mason actively managing

304
00:14:08,613 --> 00:14:10,949
here in the World Wrestling Entertainment.
Do you think he's--

305
00:14:11,016 --> 00:14:13,185
-[Clarence] Let's go. Let's go, Owen.
-[Vince] Look at that. Uh-oh. What--

306
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:15,288
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Look out.

307
00:14:15,354 --> 00:14:17,857
-[Ross] Hey, hey, hey.
-[Vince] Oh!

308
00:14:19,592 --> 00:14:23,663
Clarence Mason may be moving in
on Jim Cornette's territory here.

309
00:14:23,729 --> 00:14:26,399
-Watch your back. Watch out.
-[Vince] Oh, here we go.

310
00:14:26,466 --> 00:14:28,601
-One, two, and we've got--
-[Mr. Perfect] No, not yet.

311
00:14:28,668 --> 00:14:29,801
[Vince] We didn't.

312
00:14:31,938 --> 00:14:33,772
Whoa. That could do it.

313
00:14:33,839 --> 00:14:36,809
[Ross] Caught Savio right in the face
with that spinning heel kick.

314
00:14:38,144 --> 00:14:41,613
[Vince] Owen Hart leveling Savio Vega.

315
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,083
Owen Hart with the presence
of mind for the cover.

316
00:14:44,150 --> 00:14:45,584
He gets one, he gets two, and he--

317
00:14:45,651 --> 00:14:47,353
-[Mr. Perfect] No.
-[Vince] He didn't get him.

318
00:14:47,420 --> 00:14:48,654
He did not get him.

319
00:14:49,222 --> 00:14:52,024
[Ross] You know, I gotta wonder
if Clarence Mason came out here on his own

320
00:14:52,125 --> 00:14:54,193
or if Cornette dispatched him out here.

321
00:14:55,328 --> 00:14:57,796
[Mr. Perfect] I tell you what, though,
Savio is tougher than he looks.

322
00:14:58,598 --> 00:15:01,266
[Vince] Savio Vega to the buckle.
Owen Hart now--

323
00:15:01,334 --> 00:15:02,602
Oh my!

324
00:15:04,237 --> 00:15:05,538
And Savio--

325
00:15:06,705 --> 00:15:09,942
Savio just can't quite
put him away after that.

326
00:15:10,009 --> 00:15:13,846
Savio Vega and Owen Hart going at it.

327
00:15:14,714 --> 00:15:16,882
-And Clarence Mason looking on.
-[Mr. Perfect] Looking--

328
00:15:16,983 --> 00:15:19,185
[Vince] And he does not like
what he's seeing. Oh, look at this now.

329
00:15:19,285 --> 00:15:22,121
Oh, center--
dropping a knee to the spine area.

330
00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:24,223
Coming up.

331
00:15:24,290 --> 00:15:25,724
What a clothesline by Savio.

332
00:15:25,791 --> 00:15:27,526
Savio now on a tear.

333
00:15:27,593 --> 00:15:28,761
Savio with a clothesline.

334
00:15:28,828 --> 00:15:32,365
[crowd cheering]

335
00:15:32,464 --> 00:15:34,467
[Ross] Savio kicked Owen
like a government mule there

336
00:15:34,534 --> 00:15:35,601
just moments ago,

337
00:15:35,668 --> 00:15:37,469
and now Owen's in a lot of trouble.

338
00:15:37,536 --> 00:15:39,372
Savio, keep the burner turned up.

339
00:15:39,738 --> 00:15:42,275
[Vince] Savio Vega with Owen Hart.

340
00:15:42,341 --> 00:15:44,075
Look at this. Hammering away now.

341
00:15:44,142 --> 00:15:49,015
-[crowd counting]
-One, two, three, four, five--

342
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,248
Get right off there.

343
00:15:50,348 --> 00:15:54,120
[Vince] Thousands upon thousands
of fans behind Savio Vega.

344
00:15:54,187 --> 00:15:55,454
Vega now with the momentum.

345
00:15:55,521 --> 00:15:58,223
And Owen right to the buckle.
Whoa. My goodness.

346
00:15:59,659 --> 00:16:02,027
-[Ross] Tremendous velocity.
-[Vince] Owen Hart in trouble.

347
00:16:02,093 --> 00:16:04,262
Owen scooped up and slammed by Vega.

348
00:16:06,132 --> 00:16:07,834
Drops the leg down.

349
00:16:07,900 --> 00:16:10,336
For the cover, two, and he got him.

350
00:16:11,503 --> 00:16:13,339
Is that two or-- No.

351
00:16:13,406 --> 00:16:15,341
[Ross] Not a good cover by Savio.

352
00:16:16,141 --> 00:16:17,376
[Vince] To the buckle.

353
00:16:17,443 --> 00:16:19,779
All right. Now, Savio Vega, sidewalk slam.

354
00:16:19,846 --> 00:16:22,582
-Now he has him. Two and he--
-[Mr. Perfect] Get out of there.

355
00:16:22,647 --> 00:16:23,748
No way.

356
00:16:24,217 --> 00:16:26,551
[Vince] There have been
so many near falls in this matchup.

357
00:16:26,651 --> 00:16:28,387
[Ross] Owen's tough, resilient.

358
00:16:29,121 --> 00:16:31,122
[Vince] Hart coming off now and--

359
00:16:32,458 --> 00:16:33,593
[Mr. Perfect] Oh.

360
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,127
[Vince] Neckbreaker applied.

361
00:16:37,029 --> 00:16:39,866
Let's see now if Owen Hart can capitalize.

362
00:16:39,998 --> 00:16:44,871
[crowd cheering]

363
00:16:44,971 --> 00:16:47,640
[Mr. Perfect] These Hart kids are tough.
There's no doubt about it.

364
00:16:47,707 --> 00:16:48,841
[Vince] To the top.

365
00:16:50,175 --> 00:16:51,444
-Dropkick.
-[Ross] Nicely done.

366
00:16:51,511 --> 00:16:52,712
That should be it right there.

367
00:16:52,777 --> 00:16:54,413
[Mr. Perfect] Perfectly executed.

368
00:16:54,479 --> 00:16:57,617
-[Vince] One, two-- He got off.
-[crowd cheering]

369
00:16:57,683 --> 00:16:59,584
[Ross] You gotta hand it to Savio Vega.

370
00:16:59,685 --> 00:17:01,820
There's not an ounce of quit in his brain.

371
00:17:03,421 --> 00:17:06,791
[Vince] And the same can be said
for Owen Hart.

372
00:17:07,425 --> 00:17:09,127
And is he going
all the way to the top now?

373
00:17:09,561 --> 00:17:11,230
Look at that. Uh-oh.

374
00:17:13,633 --> 00:17:15,134
[Ross] That'll change
your outlook on things.

375
00:17:15,201 --> 00:17:16,234
[Vince] It certainly will.

376
00:17:16,301 --> 00:17:18,905
Savio Vega with Owen Hart now
in a comprising position.

377
00:17:19,405 --> 00:17:21,440
Can he do it?
He's setting him up now. What's he--

378
00:17:22,942 --> 00:17:26,378
[Ross] Oh, Savio fell backwards
on Owen Hart's cast.

379
00:17:26,444 --> 00:17:27,780
The back of Savio's head…

380
00:17:27,847 --> 00:17:29,514
-[Vince] He certainly did.
-[Ross] …struck that cast.

381
00:17:29,581 --> 00:17:31,951
I think Savio may have
almost knocked himself out.

382
00:17:33,052 --> 00:17:37,188
[Vince] I'm not so sure
that Owen Hart didn't take the brunt,

383
00:17:37,290 --> 00:17:40,158
however, of the effect of that.

384
00:17:41,694 --> 00:17:44,363
Owen Hart suplex from the top.

385
00:17:45,130 --> 00:17:48,000
-Owen Hart now--
-[Ross] Oh, he's playing possum.

386
00:17:49,435 --> 00:17:51,070
-[Vince] What?
-[Ross] Owen Hart is playing possum.

387
00:17:51,137 --> 00:17:52,171
[Vince] Hey, wait a minute.

388
00:17:52,238 --> 00:17:54,974
I think he has the-- Oh no.

389
00:17:55,041 --> 00:17:58,043
[Mr. Perfect] Savio must have knocked
the cast right off of Owen.

390
00:17:58,945 --> 00:18:01,313
-[Vince] Wait a minute.
-[Ross] The referee didn't see that.

391
00:18:01,379 --> 00:18:05,084
-Can you believe that?
-[Vince] And Owen Hart has-- Look at this.

392
00:18:05,650 --> 00:18:07,019
Savio Vega…

393
00:18:07,086 --> 00:18:09,422
-[Mr. Perfect] Cover him.
-[Vince] …is out cold.

394
00:18:09,488 --> 00:18:10,623
Owen Hart…

395
00:18:10,690 --> 00:18:12,758
[Mr. Perfect] Here comes the Sharpshooter.

396
00:18:15,860 --> 00:18:17,229
[Ross] Savio's already out.

397
00:18:17,296 --> 00:18:18,864
He doesn't need to do that.

398
00:18:22,101 --> 00:18:23,369
[Vince] The official
has stopped the match.

399
00:18:23,436 --> 00:18:26,004
-[bell ringing]
-["High Energy" playing]

400
00:18:26,639 --> 00:18:29,241
[Howard] The winner of this bout,
the Slammy Award-winning Owen Hart!

401
00:18:29,341 --> 00:18:33,446
[Vince] The official did not see
Owen Hart take his cast off his wrist.

402
00:18:33,512 --> 00:18:34,780
And look at this.

403
00:18:34,847 --> 00:18:38,884
Clarence Mason in the ring
congratulating Owen Hart in his victory.

404
00:18:38,951 --> 00:18:40,753
-Look at this.
-[Mr. Perfect] You gotta just love Owen.

405
00:18:40,820 --> 00:18:42,120
[Vince]
The Slammy Award-winning Owen Hart.

406
00:18:42,187 --> 00:18:44,389
[Mr. Perfect]
You gotta just love Owen Hart.

407
00:18:44,456 --> 00:18:45,491
[Ross] Why?

408
00:18:45,558 --> 00:18:47,525
[Mr. Perfect] He's so smart
when it comes to ring savvy.

409
00:18:47,592 --> 00:18:48,727
He's got plenty of it.

410
00:18:48,793 --> 00:18:50,663
[Ross] Yeah,
he's a good cheater, all right.

411
00:18:50,730 --> 00:18:53,132
He used the cast
to his advantage. It's not fair.

412
00:18:53,198 --> 00:18:56,002
[Mr. Perfect] He's a--
He's a winner is what he is, Ross.

413
00:18:56,068 --> 00:18:57,436
[Vince] There he is.

414
00:18:57,503 --> 00:19:00,706
And Clarence Mason coming up
against the victorious Owen Hart,

415
00:19:00,773 --> 00:19:02,675
as we take another look
at this replay now.

416
00:19:02,742 --> 00:19:07,812
All right. Now, look, the cast is indeed
behind the neck of Savio Vega,

417
00:19:07,879 --> 00:19:10,649
which you astutely brought
to our attention, J.R.

418
00:19:10,716 --> 00:19:11,951
I didn't even see it.

419
00:19:13,386 --> 00:19:15,187
That had an effect on both individuals,

420
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,957
but here, Owen Hart,
behind the official's back,

421
00:19:19,024 --> 00:19:21,159
will take the cast off.

422
00:19:21,226 --> 00:19:23,696
Watched and waited--

423
00:19:23,763 --> 00:19:26,966
[Ross] Look here. Wait a minute.
What-- Bradshaw's out here.

424
00:19:27,099 --> 00:19:28,701
Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw's out here.

425
00:19:29,668 --> 00:19:32,238
Open your eyes. I want you to look.

426
00:19:32,303 --> 00:19:35,608
And what you're calling a living legend,
he just got beaten

427
00:19:35,707 --> 00:19:38,177
like the Puerto Rican dog that he is.

428
00:19:38,244 --> 00:19:41,981
He has been a thorn in my face
for the time I've been here.

429
00:19:42,048 --> 00:19:44,550
And I am gonna send him
back to that island

430
00:19:44,617 --> 00:19:46,652
where he rots away and rots--

431
00:19:46,719 --> 00:19:48,320
[Vince] Mr. Bradshaw joining us…

432
00:19:48,387 --> 00:19:49,955
-[Ross] Good grief.
-[Vince] …in the commentary.

433
00:19:50,022 --> 00:19:52,858
Savio Vega being helped
back to the locker room area.

434
00:19:52,925 --> 00:19:54,025
[Mr. Perfect] Uh-oh.

435
00:19:54,260 --> 00:19:56,629
-Bradshaw--
-[Ross] Oh, come on.

436
00:19:56,696 --> 00:19:57,730
Good grief.

437
00:19:57,797 --> 00:20:00,331
The referee got knocked down
with that cheap shot.

438
00:20:00,399 --> 00:20:02,768
[crowd chatter]

439
00:20:02,902 --> 00:20:07,639
[Vince] Savio Vega pummeled
by Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw from behind.

440
00:20:08,573 --> 00:20:09,675
[Mr. Perfect] Well…

441
00:20:12,678 --> 00:20:14,346
[Ross] After what happened this weekend,

442
00:20:14,413 --> 00:20:16,182
-I can understand Bradshaw being upset.
-[crowd booing]

443
00:20:16,248 --> 00:20:18,783
Bradshaw and Zebekiah lost
the tag team matchup

444
00:20:18,851 --> 00:20:22,288
to Savio and Freddie Joe Floyd,
but this is totally uncalled for.

445
00:20:23,155 --> 00:20:25,390
[Vince] And unfortunately for Savio Vega,

446
00:20:25,491 --> 00:20:28,159
having insult added to a bit of injury.

447
00:20:29,261 --> 00:20:32,932
Savio in bad shape
after Owen Hart's cheating

448
00:20:32,998 --> 00:20:36,534
and after what we just saw a moment ago
with Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw.

449
00:20:36,601 --> 00:20:40,106
Standing by now, ladies and gentlemen,
I believe in the boiler room--

450
00:20:40,172 --> 00:20:41,240
[Mr. Perfect] Oh my.

451
00:20:41,340 --> 00:20:43,476
[Vince] …I believe
we have Todd Pettengill. Todd?

452
00:20:43,542 --> 00:20:46,145
Guys, thank you.
Obviously, that was disturbing to see.

453
00:20:46,212 --> 00:20:50,116
And you wanna talk about disturbing,
you wanna talk about ominous,

454
00:20:50,916 --> 00:20:53,018
this is totally freaky.

455
00:20:53,085 --> 00:20:58,224
I am in the boiler room, and this is where
The Undertaker and Mankind will do battle.

456
00:20:58,890 --> 00:21:00,893
There are no rules in this matchup.

457
00:21:01,494 --> 00:21:02,727
Anything goes.

458
00:21:03,562 --> 00:21:04,929
Anything is likely to happen.

459
00:21:04,996 --> 00:21:06,432
The only thing you have to remember is

460
00:21:06,499 --> 00:21:10,336
the first person that gets possession
of that urn will be victorious.

461
00:21:11,203 --> 00:21:14,740
And I'll tell you,
it is-- it's dark and ominous,

462
00:21:14,807 --> 00:21:17,275
and there are things in here.

463
00:21:17,342 --> 00:21:18,511
There are pipes.

464
00:21:19,145 --> 00:21:20,412
There are tow--

465
00:21:24,216 --> 00:21:26,785
[Mankind] There's no place
like home, Todd.

466
00:21:27,586 --> 00:21:29,655
There's no place like home.

467
00:21:30,956 --> 00:21:34,126
The knowledge and disappointment.

468
00:21:34,693 --> 00:21:36,896
There is no place like home.

469
00:21:37,996 --> 00:21:39,799
But as much as I love…

470
00:21:43,034 --> 00:21:46,639
every square inch
within these hallowed halls,

471
00:21:47,706 --> 00:21:53,111
it's time to leave
because destiny awaits on the other side.

472
00:21:53,178 --> 00:21:54,480
[Ross] Was he licking that thing?

473
00:21:54,547 --> 00:21:58,517
Well, as for you, Deadman,
take this simple warning.

474
00:21:58,583 --> 00:22:04,456
Do not come in here
because outside the walls awaits you

475
00:22:04,523 --> 00:22:06,725
a fate worse than death

476
00:22:07,927 --> 00:22:10,095
and a possible course of events

477
00:22:11,964 --> 00:22:16,601
that could alter
the future of all mankind.

478
00:22:17,469 --> 00:22:18,870
Have a nice day.

479
00:22:19,972 --> 00:22:21,040
You see this?

480
00:22:22,774 --> 00:22:25,043
-Back to you, guys.
-[Vince] Unbelievable. Thank you.

481
00:22:25,977 --> 00:22:27,679
-[upbeat music playing]
-[bell ringing]

482
00:22:27,745 --> 00:22:29,948
[Howard] Ladies and gentlemen,
this is a special--

483
00:22:30,014 --> 00:22:31,417
[Vince] Was that strange or what?

484
00:22:31,483 --> 00:22:33,652
[Ross] Licking the pipes down there.

485
00:22:33,719 --> 00:22:37,389
This is-- I don't know.
I don't-- I said it earlier,

486
00:22:37,456 --> 00:22:41,493
I don't think that Mankind
or The Undertaker will ever be the same

487
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,796
after tonight here at SummerSlam.

488
00:22:43,862 --> 00:22:46,932
That Boiler Room Brawl is gonna be
absolutely phenomenal.

489
00:22:46,999 --> 00:22:51,102
And here come
Marty Jannetty and Leif Cassidy.

490
00:22:51,169 --> 00:22:53,472
Could they be the next Tag Team Champions?

491
00:22:53,539 --> 00:22:57,243
[Vince] Four teams going at it
for the WWE tag team title.

492
00:22:57,309 --> 00:22:59,345
[Ross] Well,
a coin toss has been held to determine

493
00:22:59,445 --> 00:23:01,080
who's going to start the matchup.

494
00:23:01,146 --> 00:23:03,249
Remember, once the match
gets started, everybody,

495
00:23:03,314 --> 00:23:06,851
that anyone legally can tag anyone else.

496
00:23:06,918 --> 00:23:08,520
You do not have to tag your partner,

497
00:23:08,587 --> 00:23:10,688
and partners can be in there
against each other.

498
00:23:10,755 --> 00:23:12,758
Once a man is defeated,

499
00:23:12,825 --> 00:23:15,593
he and his partner must return
to the locker room,

500
00:23:15,660 --> 00:23:19,365
and that process will continue
until there's only one team left,

501
00:23:19,431 --> 00:23:23,869
and that one team remaining will be
the WWE Tag Team Champions.

502
00:23:23,936 --> 00:23:27,072
[Howard] Team number two,
at a total combined weight of 454 pounds…

503
00:23:27,172 --> 00:23:30,442
[Ross] You know, ironically enough,
three of the teams in this matchup

504
00:23:30,509 --> 00:23:32,745
have held tag team gold here

505
00:23:32,811 --> 00:23:35,347
in the World Wrestling Entertainment
in 1996.

506
00:23:35,414 --> 00:23:39,284
The reigning champions, Smoking Gunns,
The Bodydonnas we see coming to the ring.

507
00:23:39,351 --> 00:23:41,921
[Vince] Yeah, what's the story
on that neck brace there, J.R.?

508
00:23:41,986 --> 00:23:44,889
[Ross] Well, you know,
last Friday in Madison Square Garden,

509
00:23:44,956 --> 00:23:48,660
Skip injured his neck in a title contest,

510
00:23:48,726 --> 00:23:51,764
where The Bodydonnas were challenging
The Smoking Gunns.

511
00:23:51,830 --> 00:23:54,766
He fractured his fifth cervical vertebrae…

512
00:23:54,832 --> 00:23:55,935
[Mr. Perfect] Yeah, right.

513
00:23:56,001 --> 00:23:57,903
[Ross] …and got doctor's clearance
to compete here.

514
00:23:57,970 --> 00:24:00,039
This kid's got a lot of guts
and a lot of heart.

515
00:24:00,105 --> 00:24:01,439
["The Godwinns" playing]

516
00:24:01,639 --> 00:24:04,076
[crowd cheering]

517
00:24:13,752 --> 00:24:15,687
[Vince] Sweet!

518
00:24:22,695 --> 00:24:25,331
[Ross] Well, it's funny
how this thing has evolved this year,

519
00:24:25,397 --> 00:24:28,399
Bodydonnas, they beat The Smoking Gunns
at WrestleMania

520
00:24:28,466 --> 00:24:30,235
to become the Tag Champions.

521
00:24:30,302 --> 00:24:34,206
Then on May 19th, The Godwinns beat
The Bodydonnas in Madison Square Garden.

522
00:24:34,273 --> 00:24:35,975
And then on May 26th,

523
00:24:36,041 --> 00:24:39,078
The Gunns beat The Godwinns
in Florence, South Carolina,

524
00:24:39,144 --> 00:24:41,714
at In Your House: Beware of Dog.

525
00:24:46,485 --> 00:24:49,088
[Ross] And along the way,
The Rockers have got victories

526
00:24:49,154 --> 00:24:52,091
over The Godwinns and The Bodydonnas.

527
00:24:52,658 --> 00:24:56,261
[Vince] And the tag team action here
in the World Wrestling Entertainment

528
00:24:56,995 --> 00:25:00,165
is likely to heat up
as a result of this matchup.

529
00:25:01,033 --> 00:25:02,967
[Ross] Folks sitting
at a hogpen here today, Vince.

530
00:25:03,034 --> 00:25:04,870
[Mr. Perfect] Stay away
from me with those pigs.

531
00:25:07,072 --> 00:25:09,073
-[Vince] How you doing, Henry?
-[Ross] Hi, Hank.

532
00:25:09,140 --> 00:25:10,476
Good to see you, Hank.

533
00:25:11,143 --> 00:25:12,343
[Vince] Hey.

534
00:25:12,410 --> 00:25:15,147
[Ross] Uh-oh,
he's got a walking BLT there.

535
00:25:15,214 --> 00:25:17,416
I like that. Good luck to you.

536
00:25:17,916 --> 00:25:20,785
-[Howard announcing]
-[Vince] Oh my.

537
00:25:21,986 --> 00:25:23,989
Ready to go basset hound out here?

538
00:25:25,323 --> 00:25:26,824
Hogs are squealing.

539
00:25:27,793 --> 00:25:29,360
Must be SummerSlam.

540
00:25:29,461 --> 00:25:30,963
[Howard] …at 412 pounds,

541
00:25:31,163 --> 00:25:34,832
the current World Wrestling Entertainment
Tag Team Champions…

542
00:25:34,933 --> 00:25:37,602
[Ross] That basset hound has got ears
like my third cousin Joe-Bob.

543
00:25:37,668 --> 00:25:39,204
-[Vince laughs]
-[Howard] …Billy and Bart,

544
00:25:39,271 --> 00:25:41,306
-The Smoking Gunns.
-[Ross] I'll tell you something,

545
00:25:41,372 --> 00:25:44,676
Sunny certainly has a great deal
of confidence here,

546
00:25:44,743 --> 00:25:48,580
leading her Smoking Gunns
Tag Team Champions to the ring.

547
00:25:48,647 --> 00:25:52,351
We are the best,
and everybody's fixing to find out why.

548
00:25:53,351 --> 00:25:56,655
[Ross] Well, Billy Gunn
certainly fired up about this matchup.

549
00:25:56,722 --> 00:25:58,456
It's not gonna be easy.

550
00:25:58,524 --> 00:26:01,260
The surviving team wins the title.

551
00:26:01,326 --> 00:26:04,362
This thing can quickly resemble
one of those Jackie Chan movies.

552
00:26:04,429 --> 00:26:07,599
[Mr. Perfect] Look at Sunny.
She looks great, doesn't she?

553
00:26:07,666 --> 00:26:09,301
[Ross] Oh, yeah.
Just ask her how good she looks.

554
00:26:09,368 --> 00:26:10,502
She'll tell you.

555
00:26:12,137 --> 00:26:16,574
[Vince] Yes. Many of you saw Sunny
along with, well, many other individuals

556
00:26:16,675 --> 00:26:18,677
in the Bikini Beach Blast-Off.

557
00:26:18,744 --> 00:26:20,812
She certainly was strutting her stuff,
so to speak…

558
00:26:20,879 --> 00:26:23,749
-[Mr. Perfect] She stole the show.
-[Vince] …on the beach. Maybe she did.

559
00:26:26,318 --> 00:26:29,521
Sunny along with The Smoking Gunns.

560
00:26:29,588 --> 00:26:33,658
And the WWE Tag Team Championship
up for grabs, ladies and gentlemen,

561
00:26:33,725 --> 00:26:35,526
in this most unusual manner.

562
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,397
[Ross] So, remember,
two men are gonna start,

563
00:26:38,464 --> 00:26:40,666
and once contact has been made,

564
00:26:41,867 --> 00:26:44,703
then they can tag anyone that they choose.

565
00:26:44,770 --> 00:26:46,938
They do not have to tag their own partner.

566
00:26:47,406 --> 00:26:48,807
It's an elimination tag match.

567
00:26:48,874 --> 00:26:51,376
So once man of a team is eliminated,
he and his partner…

568
00:26:51,443 --> 00:26:53,512
-That's why we're number one.
-[Ross] …gotta go back to the showers.

569
00:26:53,611 --> 00:26:55,214
We're gonna stay the champs.
I just love it.

570
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:56,415
[Ross] You know, you might as well.

571
00:26:56,482 --> 00:26:58,194
I don't know if I'm looking
at this erroneously or not,

572
00:26:58,293 --> 00:27:00,718
but it's almost as if
the doggone titles are vacant.

573
00:27:01,086 --> 00:27:03,722
[Mr. Perfect] You notice The Smoking Gunn,
he's in the ring ready to go.

574
00:27:03,789 --> 00:27:05,724
That's a mark of a real champion.

575
00:27:05,823 --> 00:27:07,458
-[Vince] All right.
-[Ross] Well, yeah, he's--

576
00:27:07,525 --> 00:27:08,526
-[bell ringing]
-[Vince] Okay.

577
00:27:08,593 --> 00:27:10,596
[Ross] He lost the coin toss.
That's why he's ready to go.

578
00:27:10,662 --> 00:27:11,966
-[Vince] Exactly. [laughs]
-[Ross] He's also--

579
00:27:12,105 --> 00:27:13,573
Billy's got an injured thumb.

580
00:27:14,733 --> 00:27:16,467
-[thumping]
-[Vince] Nonetheless,

581
00:27:16,968 --> 00:27:19,204
the title's up for grabs in a--

582
00:27:19,271 --> 00:27:20,371
[yells]

583
00:27:20,438 --> 00:27:22,541
[Vince] All right. Time to call the hogs.

584
00:27:23,041 --> 00:27:24,743
[Ross] You know,
we got a hogpen over here tonight.

585
00:27:24,810 --> 00:27:26,778
[Vince] Definitely.
We just saw a little bit of it earlier.

586
00:27:26,845 --> 00:27:27,879
And here we go.

587
00:27:28,147 --> 00:27:30,749
Hank, big, strong country boy,

588
00:27:30,849 --> 00:27:33,651
off the rope and, oh,
down goes Billy of The Smoking Gunns.

589
00:27:34,253 --> 00:27:35,521
[Ross] Hank could knock ol' Billy

590
00:27:35,587 --> 00:27:37,923
right out of those Tony Lama boots
if he's not careful.

591
00:27:40,859 --> 00:27:42,895
[Vince] Henry and Phineas, The Godwinns.

592
00:27:42,961 --> 00:27:44,439
A nice maneuver there
on the part of Billy.

593
00:27:44,514 --> 00:27:47,866
However, hanging onto the ropes and--
oh, again, Billy goes down to the canvas.

594
00:27:47,933 --> 00:27:51,035
When it comes to size
and quickness, I might add,

595
00:27:51,102 --> 00:27:53,639
the advantage goes
to The Godwinns, in my view.

596
00:27:53,739 --> 00:27:56,140
-[Ross] I don't--
-[Vince] They are just so quick.

597
00:27:56,207 --> 00:27:58,577
[Ross] I don't think either one of them
were valedictorians in their class.

598
00:27:58,677 --> 00:28:00,779
-[Vince] Well, no.
-[Ross] This is not a spelling bee either.

599
00:28:00,846 --> 00:28:02,747
[crowd chanting]

600
00:28:07,953 --> 00:28:10,555
[Ross] It's almost like
a sudden death situation here.

601
00:28:10,621 --> 00:28:14,493
You lose a decision, in any manner,
you and your partner gotta go.

602
00:28:14,626 --> 00:28:16,227
[Vince] High hip toss by Henry.

603
00:28:16,294 --> 00:28:18,163
Clothesline-- A hard right hand rather.

604
00:28:18,764 --> 00:28:22,100
Henry reaching for that one. Nonetheless,
the effect is fair, and here we go.

605
00:28:22,201 --> 00:28:24,503
Here's comes our first pin
after-- Wait a minute.

606
00:28:24,602 --> 00:28:27,673
-Henry. Oh no!
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh.

607
00:28:28,907 --> 00:28:30,742
Oh, I haven't seen that move before.

608
00:28:30,809 --> 00:28:32,811
[Ross] You know, normally,
a champion has the--

609
00:28:32,878 --> 00:28:34,545
what they call a championship advantage.

610
00:28:34,612 --> 00:28:36,180
The champion doesn't have
to win the match.

611
00:28:36,281 --> 00:28:37,882
He just gotta keep from getting beat.

612
00:28:37,949 --> 00:28:40,185
That's-- That advantage is
out the window here.

613
00:28:40,252 --> 00:28:44,223
The Smoking Gunns gotta survive
three teams to retain their gold,

614
00:28:44,289 --> 00:28:46,024
and it's not gonna be easy.

615
00:28:46,091 --> 00:28:51,763
[Vince] And Billy with a look on his face
as if he has no idea where he is.

616
00:28:51,830 --> 00:28:54,265
There's Billy and Bart Gunn. Uh-oh.

617
00:28:55,900 --> 00:28:58,870
Over on the side, and now here we go.
Locking back up now.

618
00:28:59,271 --> 00:29:02,674
This time, we have Phineas
in there against Zip.

619
00:29:07,012 --> 00:29:08,580
And again, not surprisingly,

620
00:29:09,781 --> 00:29:12,149
The Godwinns are bowling
people over in there.

621
00:29:12,251 --> 00:29:13,584
[Ross] Looks like
Phineas spilled something

622
00:29:13,651 --> 00:29:14,953
all over his overalls there, don't he?

623
00:29:15,020 --> 00:29:16,021
[Mr. Perfect] What a pig.

624
00:29:16,088 --> 00:29:17,723
[Ross] My granny would say,
"You missed your mouth."

625
00:29:17,789 --> 00:29:18,991
[Mr. Perfect] He don't care.

626
00:29:19,057 --> 00:29:20,458
[Vince laughs]

627
00:29:20,993 --> 00:29:23,595
I'm not so sure he spilled something
or whether or not it was, uh, residue

628
00:29:23,695 --> 00:29:25,397
from one of the little animals
he had out here.

629
00:29:25,464 --> 00:29:28,500
[Ross] Oh, there you go.
I hope that's what it was.

630
00:29:29,333 --> 00:29:32,471
You people, sit down and shut up!

631
00:29:34,072 --> 00:29:35,274
[Vince] Well…

632
00:29:37,208 --> 00:29:40,279
standing side headlock now
with Zip against Phineas,

633
00:29:40,579 --> 00:29:43,447
the more eccentric of the two Godwinns,
I think you can easily say.

634
00:29:43,548 --> 00:29:45,149
[Ross] Oh, that's putting it nicely.

635
00:29:45,650 --> 00:29:48,387
[Vince] Here we go, crisscross fashion.
Where is he gonna stop?

636
00:29:48,486 --> 00:29:49,721
Well, right about there maybe.

637
00:29:49,788 --> 00:29:51,456
-Oh, how about that?
-[Ross] Oh, there we go now.

638
00:29:51,523 --> 00:29:53,425
[Vince] Both men tagged
both Gunns in. Look at that.

639
00:29:53,492 --> 00:29:55,860
[Mr. Perfect] Now, wait a minute.
They're not gonna wrestle each other.

640
00:29:55,927 --> 00:29:58,297
-[Ross] They have to. They have no choice.
-[Mr. Perfect] No. They got some--

641
00:29:58,362 --> 00:30:00,264
-They gotta have some--
-[Ross] They gotta make contact.

642
00:30:00,331 --> 00:30:01,966
-That's the rules, Perfect.
-[Vince] That's right.

643
00:30:02,033 --> 00:30:04,903
Billy now must wrestle Bart,

644
00:30:04,970 --> 00:30:07,205
and Billy protesting to the official.

645
00:30:07,805 --> 00:30:10,809
And if he does too much of that,
he'll just disqualify the team,

646
00:30:10,876 --> 00:30:13,312
the referee will,
and they would have lost the titles

647
00:30:13,411 --> 00:30:15,080
in one fell swoop, just like that.

648
00:30:17,182 --> 00:30:18,550
[Ross] Goodness gracious.

649
00:30:21,153 --> 00:30:22,420
[Vince] Here we go.

650
00:30:22,486 --> 00:30:26,124
And look at-- Trying to go
for the same tactic and failing,

651
00:30:26,191 --> 00:30:28,060
The Gunns, trying to tag in The Godwinns.

652
00:30:28,126 --> 00:30:29,628
[Ross] They gotta make contact.

653
00:30:29,695 --> 00:30:31,862
No goal-breaking here.
You gotta get after it.

654
00:30:37,735 --> 00:30:39,937
[Vince] All right. There we go.

655
00:30:42,206 --> 00:30:43,207
Zip now.

656
00:30:44,676 --> 00:30:46,043
[Sunny] Billy, come on!

657
00:30:46,110 --> 00:30:48,146
-[Vince] Zip and Billy ready to go at it.
-[Sunny] Billy!

658
00:30:50,148 --> 00:30:51,582
[Vince] Down on the canvas.

659
00:30:52,918 --> 00:30:56,120
Nice maneuver on the part of Zip,
and Zip with an arm drag takedown.

660
00:30:56,955 --> 00:30:58,122
Oh boy.

661
00:30:58,724 --> 00:31:00,359
Oh, and a clothesline by Zip.

662
00:31:01,827 --> 00:31:03,528
-And--
-[Ross] Oh, come on.

663
00:31:03,895 --> 00:31:07,232
Marty Jannetty just--
Marty Jannetty just tripped Zip.

664
00:31:07,299 --> 00:31:09,266
-[Vince] Two and--
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh, they're out of here.

665
00:31:09,333 --> 00:31:10,769
-[Vince] My God.
-[bell ringing]

666
00:31:10,836 --> 00:31:13,205
And it's a good thing
that Skip did not even get

667
00:31:13,271 --> 00:31:16,241
into this match with that neck brace.
You know what would have happened.

668
00:31:16,341 --> 00:31:19,410
Someone would have gone
completely for the neck.

669
00:31:19,511 --> 00:31:21,178
[Ross] Yeah, but he was ready
'cause he really wanted

670
00:31:21,245 --> 00:31:23,715
to be a part of this, did Skip.
And right now,

671
00:31:23,782 --> 00:31:27,252
the only thing they could be a part of
is taking a hot shower.

672
00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:28,553
Three teams remain.

673
00:31:28,620 --> 00:31:31,022
-What do you think of that, Mr. P?
-How you doing, Sunny?

674
00:31:31,490 --> 00:31:33,425
[Vince] Sunny, of course,
brought The Bodydonnas

675
00:31:33,492 --> 00:31:35,127
to the World Wrestling Entertainment.

676
00:31:35,193 --> 00:31:37,696
And when she saw a better opportunity,
she dropped them.

677
00:31:37,795 --> 00:31:39,898
[Mr. Perfect] Yeah.
She got rid of them just as fast.

678
00:31:39,965 --> 00:31:42,266
[Ross] Broke Phineas' heart. Oh, come on.

679
00:31:42,701 --> 00:31:45,437
[Vince] All right, down to three teams
now, ladies and gentlemen.

680
00:31:45,504 --> 00:31:47,606
The Rockers, The Gunns, and The Godwinns.

681
00:31:48,407 --> 00:31:50,708
[Ross] See, The Rockers,
in there for the first time.

682
00:31:50,775 --> 00:31:51,976
That's Leif Cassidy.

683
00:31:52,644 --> 00:31:54,346
-[Vince] Leif now--
- [Mr. Perfect] The Rockers are smart.

684
00:31:54,413 --> 00:31:55,480
[Vince] Oh, and a clothesline.

685
00:31:55,547 --> 00:31:57,176
[Mr. Perfect] They let
the other teams beat each other up,

686
00:31:57,251 --> 00:31:59,117
then they get in there.
That's what I'd have done.

687
00:31:59,216 --> 00:32:00,485
[Vince] And they are aggressive.

688
00:32:00,584 --> 00:32:02,620
-Leif Cassidy--
-[yells]

689
00:32:02,687 --> 00:32:04,156
[Ross] They said if they win the title,

690
00:32:04,222 --> 00:32:06,224
they're gonna dedicate the match
to the Parkers family.

691
00:32:06,291 --> 00:32:08,360
-[Vince laughs]
-[Ross] Now, what the heck does that mean?

692
00:32:08,427 --> 00:32:10,829
[Vince laughs] Well,
Leif is a little unusual in his own right.

693
00:32:10,896 --> 00:32:13,298
Marty Jannetty and Leif.
Come on, ref. Get in there.

694
00:32:13,365 --> 00:32:16,101
-[Ross] He thought you were Dick Clark.
-[Vince] Yes, as a matter of fact.

695
00:32:16,168 --> 00:32:17,735
[Mr. Perfect] What a compliment that is.

696
00:32:19,137 --> 00:32:21,139
[Vince] To the buckle, Jannetty-- Uh-oh.

697
00:32:21,206 --> 00:32:24,176
And Jannetty,
former tag team partners with, of course,

698
00:32:24,242 --> 00:32:27,446
the World Wrestling Entertainment
Champion, Shawn Michaels, many years ago.

699
00:32:27,512 --> 00:32:28,813
Look at this. Clothesline.

700
00:32:28,879 --> 00:32:30,782
[Ross] Jannetty also
a former Intercontinental Champion,

701
00:32:30,849 --> 00:32:31,983
let's not forget.

702
00:32:32,684 --> 00:32:34,218
A snapmare takeover.

703
00:32:34,285 --> 00:32:36,187
That's where you want Henry.
You want him on his back.

704
00:32:36,254 --> 00:32:37,722
-[Vince] Oh.
-[Ross] You don't want him upright.

705
00:32:37,789 --> 00:32:39,991
[Vince] He could stay that way
for a moment after that.

706
00:32:41,126 --> 00:32:43,061
[Ross] They're wasting time here.

707
00:32:43,128 --> 00:32:46,465
Marty and Leif gotta be more
opportunistic, not waste so much time.

708
00:32:46,531 --> 00:32:48,265
[Vince] Leif is right back in.
Wide open Henry.

709
00:32:48,332 --> 00:32:49,734
Leif going to work in the midsection.

710
00:32:49,834 --> 00:32:52,771
-Come on, Marty. Come on, get it out.
-[Henry grunts]

711
00:32:52,838 --> 00:32:55,540
[Vince] And The Godwinns are
in a bit of trouble now,

712
00:32:55,607 --> 00:32:57,542
as it would appear as though

713
00:32:58,009 --> 00:33:01,812
that The Gunns are somewhat
cooperating with The New Rockers.

714
00:33:01,879 --> 00:33:04,416
[Ross] It certainly seems that they have
a little collusionary effort here.

715
00:33:04,483 --> 00:33:06,717
[crowd chatter]

716
00:33:06,818 --> 00:33:11,790
[thumping]

717
00:33:13,891 --> 00:33:15,159
Look, look, look!

718
00:33:15,226 --> 00:33:17,395
Come on, Billy. Come on.
I'm telling you, Billy. Come on.

719
00:33:17,462 --> 00:33:19,030
[Sunny] What's the matter,
hot Phin, huh?

720
00:33:19,164 --> 00:33:20,532
-[Mr. Perfect] Look out.
-[crowd cheering]

721
00:33:20,599 --> 00:33:21,966
[Ross] Oh, a little miscue.

722
00:33:23,735 --> 00:33:25,536
[Vince] And that may break up
any collaboration…

723
00:33:25,603 --> 00:33:26,705
[Mr. Perfect] Yeah.

724
00:33:27,805 --> 00:33:29,573
[Vince] …that they had going earlier on.

725
00:33:32,543 --> 00:33:35,080
Henry Godwinn setting up Billy now,
coming off the rope, and--

726
00:33:35,146 --> 00:33:36,214
Uh-oh, here we go.

727
00:33:36,281 --> 00:33:38,483
[Mr. Perfect] Look at the strength
of Henry Godwinn.

728
00:33:38,550 --> 00:33:41,719
[Vince] A cover.
A count and look-- Oh no.

729
00:33:41,785 --> 00:33:43,921
And The Rockers really fouling up now.

730
00:33:43,988 --> 00:33:46,957
-[Ross] Oops. Didn't mean to.
-[overlapping chatter]

731
00:33:47,024 --> 00:33:49,895
-[Mr. Perfect] I don't know if that's a--
-[Vince] Rockers and the Gunns in there.

732
00:33:49,961 --> 00:33:52,296
And Henry is legal.

733
00:33:53,098 --> 00:33:57,569
Uh-oh, look at that,
knocking Rockers, swinging-- Look at this.

734
00:33:57,636 --> 00:34:00,572
The Godwinns pretty much cleaning
house in there at the moment.

735
00:34:01,773 --> 00:34:04,842
Coming off the rope and elbow
squarely in the butt of the jaw.

736
00:34:07,212 --> 00:34:11,716
Henry Godwinn along with Leif Cassidy.

737
00:34:11,783 --> 00:34:14,518
Leif, very quick,
driving-- Oh, look at that.

738
00:34:14,585 --> 00:34:17,121
A roll-up here. One, two, and he--

739
00:34:17,188 --> 00:34:18,989
-No, he didn't quite--
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh!

740
00:34:21,293 --> 00:34:23,161
[Vince] Look out, Slop Drop is coming.

741
00:34:23,228 --> 00:34:24,429
[Mr. Perfect] Look.

742
00:34:24,496 --> 00:34:26,964
-[Vince] That'll do it.
-[Mr. Perfect] Nobody gets up after that.

743
00:34:27,031 --> 00:34:28,433
-[bell ringing]
-[crowd cheering]

744
00:34:28,500 --> 00:34:31,268
[Ross] And we say goodbye
to The Rockers for a while.

745
00:34:31,335 --> 00:34:33,471
So now we are down to two.

746
00:34:33,538 --> 00:34:35,473
[Vince] And yes, here we go.

747
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,743
Bart wasting no time
in driving a knee into Henry Godwinn.

748
00:34:42,647 --> 00:34:46,116
Bart now scooping up the big hog farmer,
slams him down to the canvas.

749
00:34:46,183 --> 00:34:47,118
[crowd chatter]

750
00:34:47,284 --> 00:34:51,156
[Vince] Bart and Billy Gunn walking
into this matchup with the titles,

751
00:34:51,221 --> 00:34:52,924
and surely they wanna walk out with 'em.

752
00:34:53,058 --> 00:34:54,826
-[crowd chatter]
-[Sunny] …you guys are ugly.

753
00:34:54,893 --> 00:34:55,993
[Billy] Shut up!

754
00:34:57,295 --> 00:34:59,698
[Ross] Well, Sunny can cause some trouble,
I'll tell you something.

755
00:35:00,432 --> 00:35:02,067
-[Mr. Perfect] Now you're on her side?
-[Vince] All right.

756
00:35:02,167 --> 00:35:05,537
Set up again to the buckle. Henry Godwinn.

757
00:35:05,703 --> 00:35:08,973
Yes, Sunny. Oh, look out.
Oh, miscalculating.

758
00:35:10,275 --> 00:35:11,843
Just one effect-- A clothesline.

759
00:35:11,910 --> 00:35:13,622
-[Vince] Look at that. Unbelievable.
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh, wow.

760
00:35:13,721 --> 00:35:16,615
-Good grief. That's power.
-[Vince] Henry Godwinn exploding on Bart.

761
00:35:16,681 --> 00:35:22,621
-[thumps]
-[crowd chanting, clapping rhythmically]

762
00:35:22,687 --> 00:35:25,557
[Vince] Hillbilly Jim on the outside
trying to get it going for The Godwinns.

763
00:35:25,624 --> 00:35:28,259
Sunny likewise trying to get it going
for The Smoking Gunns.

764
00:35:28,326 --> 00:35:30,595
The tag team title's up for grabs.

765
00:35:32,029 --> 00:35:35,366
And remember, we don't have
to have a pinfall or a submission

766
00:35:35,433 --> 00:35:39,671
for this title to change hands, which is
the normal procedure in a title match.

767
00:35:40,205 --> 00:35:42,774
But here,
even though it's down to two teams,

768
00:35:43,607 --> 00:35:45,777
it doesn't matter how you win
as long as you win.

769
00:35:45,844 --> 00:35:47,545
It could be a disqualification
from the opposing team.

770
00:35:47,712 --> 00:35:49,047
It doesn't matter.

771
00:35:50,682 --> 00:35:52,750
[Ross] Big Hank needs
to make the tag there to Phineas.

772
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:54,019
Phineas is well-rested.

773
00:35:55,185 --> 00:35:59,790
[Vince] And unfortunately,
Bart there to make sure no tag was made.

774
00:36:02,993 --> 00:36:05,397
[Mr. Perfect] If we really think about it,
what a disgrace it'd be

775
00:36:05,462 --> 00:36:07,399
if the Hogs won the World Wrestling
Entertainment Tag Team Champion.

776
00:36:07,464 --> 00:36:09,569
-[Vince] What do you mean by that?
-[Mr. Perfect] I mean, walk around.

777
00:36:09,644 --> 00:36:11,435
Look at how they dress
and the way they present themselves.

778
00:36:11,502 --> 00:36:13,304
[Vince] You better watch yourself,
you may be covered in slop.

779
00:36:13,371 --> 00:36:14,705
[Mr. Perfect]
They can't hear me from here.

780
00:36:14,772 --> 00:36:17,776
[Ross] And their biggest fan's birthday
is today, President Bill Clinton.

781
00:36:18,410 --> 00:36:19,678
[Vince] Matter of fact, yes.

782
00:36:19,743 --> 00:36:21,112
The ripe old age of 50.

783
00:36:26,651 --> 00:36:29,386
All right. Phineas trying
to get in this matchup.

784
00:36:29,487 --> 00:36:33,458
And Henry having great difficulty
in making a tag.

785
00:36:35,393 --> 00:36:40,265
Bart now bringing Henry
over to the Gunns' corner, wide open.

786
00:36:40,330 --> 00:36:43,868
Henry's had a lot
of damage done to the rib area.

787
00:36:45,236 --> 00:36:48,573
Come on, Henry,
do something, you big sissy!

788
00:36:48,906 --> 00:36:52,944
-Come on! Come on!
-[Vince] Verbal tirade of Billy Gunn.

789
00:36:53,011 --> 00:36:56,047
-Come on, stay off the head.
-[crowd chatter]

790
00:36:56,114 --> 00:36:59,284
[Vince] Billy and Sunny
with a very similar temperament.

791
00:36:59,350 --> 00:37:01,986
There we go. There we go. Well,

792
00:37:02,053 --> 00:37:04,122
-my team, we're going home with the belt.
-[Ross] You mean obnoxious?

793
00:37:04,221 --> 00:37:05,656
-She's a Jezebel.
-[Sunny] Come on.

794
00:37:06,991 --> 00:37:09,359
-[Vince] And Bart. Come on.
-[Mr. Perfect laughs]

795
00:37:10,095 --> 00:37:12,897
You shut up! They're the champions!

796
00:37:12,964 --> 00:37:13,998
[Ross] Yeah, and I think

797
00:37:14,065 --> 00:37:15,834
if The Smoking Gunns
get disqualified here,

798
00:37:15,933 --> 00:37:17,602
they kiss those belts goodbye.

799
00:37:20,305 --> 00:37:22,040
[Vince] Henry Godwinn on his feet.

800
00:37:23,408 --> 00:37:25,977
Bart now working into the midsection.

801
00:37:26,877 --> 00:37:29,481
Left hand there. Big, powerful Bart Gunn.

802
00:37:33,518 --> 00:37:38,656
Bart and Billy formerly
on a rodeo circuit, so to speak…

803
00:37:39,591 --> 00:37:40,658
[Ross] Uh-oh. Look out.

804
00:37:40,725 --> 00:37:42,493
[Vince] …some time ago. Oh my goodness.

805
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,864
[Ross] Inverted atomic drop
will get your attention every time.

806
00:37:48,199 --> 00:37:51,102
[Vince] And so will an uppercut,
and so will a rake in the face.

807
00:37:53,203 --> 00:37:57,040
The Godwinns want to leave SummerSlam,

808
00:37:57,107 --> 00:37:58,409
want to leave Cleveland, Ohio,

809
00:37:58,476 --> 00:38:00,845
with the World Wrestling Entertainment
Tag Team Championship.

810
00:38:00,912 --> 00:38:02,447
Billy tagged right back in now.

811
00:38:02,514 --> 00:38:04,549
-[crowd chatter]
-[Sunny shouts indistinctly]

812
00:38:04,649 --> 00:38:07,886
[Ross] That's not gonna happen
if Henry doesn't tag Phineas.

813
00:38:07,952 --> 00:38:09,554
Henry's been there a long time.

814
00:38:09,621 --> 00:38:10,788
[Mr. Perfect] Oh.

815
00:38:11,656 --> 00:38:13,290
It's why I am the best!

816
00:38:13,357 --> 00:38:15,160
[Ross] Here he comes. Billy Gunn.

817
00:38:15,226 --> 00:38:17,462
-Oh.
-[Vince] Wait a minute.

818
00:38:17,529 --> 00:38:19,531
-[Ross] What power.
-[Mr. Perfect] Uh-oh.

819
00:38:20,298 --> 00:38:23,368
[Vince] Now tag your partner, Phineas.

820
00:38:23,433 --> 00:38:27,505
Henry still unable to make the tag.

821
00:38:27,572 --> 00:38:29,641
[Ross] Well,
Henry caught Billy Gunn in midair,

822
00:38:29,707 --> 00:38:32,143
-and Billy Gunn is no lightweight.
-[Vince] Wait a minute. He just might.

823
00:38:32,243 --> 00:38:33,578
[Ross] He's about 270.

824
00:38:34,312 --> 00:38:36,848
[Vince] Hillbilly Jim encouraging Hank,

825
00:38:36,948 --> 00:38:39,183
encouraging Henry
to get over and tag Phineas.

826
00:38:40,585 --> 00:38:42,987
-And Phineas is tagged in.
-[crowd cheering]

827
00:38:44,955 --> 00:38:46,124
[Vince] Phineas.

828
00:38:46,191 --> 00:38:47,392
Look at this.

829
00:38:47,759 --> 00:38:50,461
Phineas coming loose on The Smoking Gunns.

830
00:38:53,498 --> 00:38:57,168
And there's a new caper
for anybody else that was around.

831
00:38:57,836 --> 00:38:58,903
Oh, yeah.

832
00:38:58,970 --> 00:39:00,205
[Ross] Oh my goodness.

833
00:39:00,672 --> 00:39:02,607
-Billy-- Bart--
-[Vince] It comes down to two.

834
00:39:02,674 --> 00:39:04,709
-Here comes the Slop Drop.
-[Mr. Perfect] Here it goes.

835
00:39:04,776 --> 00:39:07,979
[Vince] The titles are gonna
change hands here.

836
00:39:08,046 --> 00:39:09,413
[crowd cheering]

837
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:10,748
[Vince] And wait a minute.

838
00:39:11,749 --> 00:39:13,651
Slop Drop behind the official.

839
00:39:13,785 --> 00:39:18,022
The official trying to stop
Hillbilly Jim from slopping Sunny.

840
00:39:18,356 --> 00:39:20,058
Oh my goodness, Bart.

841
00:39:21,759 --> 00:39:23,328
Boy, look what Bart did.

842
00:39:23,394 --> 00:39:24,662
-One, two--
-[Ross] Come on.

843
00:39:24,729 --> 00:39:26,497
[Mr. Perfect] He got him. All right.

844
00:39:26,564 --> 00:39:27,866
-[bell ringing]
-[Ross] That's not right.

845
00:39:27,932 --> 00:39:29,299
That's just not right.

846
00:39:30,034 --> 00:39:31,202
["Smokin'" playing]

847
00:39:31,269 --> 00:39:32,904
[Howard] The winners of this bout,

848
00:39:33,037 --> 00:39:37,775
and still World Wrestling Entertainment
Tag Team Champions,

849
00:39:37,842 --> 00:39:41,179
The Smoking Gunns!

850
00:39:44,315 --> 00:39:49,821
[Vince] Well,
unfortunately for The Godwinns,

851
00:39:49,888 --> 00:39:54,759
The Smoking Gunns continue
to reign as Tag Team Champions.

852
00:39:57,562 --> 00:40:00,531
[Ross] Well, I'll tell you something,
quite a feat for The Smoking Gunns.

853
00:40:00,632 --> 00:40:03,167
They didn't have any advantage
coming into this matchup.

854
00:40:03,234 --> 00:40:07,705
They survived this four-team elimination
tag team matchup by hook or crook,

855
00:40:07,772 --> 00:40:09,274
but they got the job done.

856
00:40:12,644 --> 00:40:14,078
[Billy] Shut up!

857
00:40:16,981 --> 00:40:20,084
We are the best,
and you've got to like it!

858
00:40:22,287 --> 00:40:24,622
[Vince] Billy and Bart Gunn
out there with Sunny.

859
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,830
Wait a minute, Sunny has the microphone…

860
00:40:33,131 --> 00:40:37,234
I want everybody to take a real
good look right now at the winners

861
00:40:37,301 --> 00:40:42,205
and still World Wrestling Entertainment
Tag Team Champions,

862
00:40:42,272 --> 00:40:44,308
and that's the way they're gonna stay.

863
00:40:44,375 --> 00:40:48,846
[crowd booing]

864
00:40:48,947 --> 00:40:51,616
Now, before we go
and have our victory party,

865
00:40:52,283 --> 00:40:55,520
I want all you women
to look at The Smoking Gunns

866
00:40:55,586 --> 00:40:58,522
and what real men
are supposed to look like.

867
00:41:00,024 --> 00:41:04,962
And, boys, take a good look
at the woman next to you,

868
00:41:05,430 --> 00:41:06,631
the fat…

869
00:41:06,731 --> 00:41:08,399
-[Vince] Uh-oh.
-[Sunny] …the cellulite,

870
00:41:08,466 --> 00:41:10,969
how out of shape they are now.

871
00:41:11,035 --> 00:41:12,370
[Vince] Please…

872
00:41:13,638 --> 00:41:17,408
And as I look around here,
this place is looking really sorry,

873
00:41:17,475 --> 00:41:20,144
so my generous gift to you…

874
00:41:20,211 --> 00:41:21,346
[Vince] What?!

875
00:41:21,412 --> 00:41:24,949
…to make this building look
a whole lot better,

876
00:41:25,016 --> 00:41:26,250
hit it, boys!

877
00:41:28,685 --> 00:41:31,455
[Vince] Unbelievable!

878
00:41:31,522 --> 00:41:33,191
-[upbeat music playing]
-[crowd cheering]

879
00:41:33,290 --> 00:41:35,226
[Sunny] Do I look incredible or what?

880
00:41:36,794 --> 00:41:39,529
[Vince] Is she stuck on herself or what?

881
00:41:39,596 --> 00:41:41,065
[Mr. Perfect]
There's nothing wrong with that

882
00:41:41,132 --> 00:41:42,567
when you're good and you know it.

883
00:41:42,633 --> 00:41:44,202
[Ross] A very conceited young lady.

884
00:41:44,935 --> 00:41:46,203
I've said it many times.

885
00:41:46,371 --> 00:41:48,806
She missed that much-needed trip
to the woodshed.

886
00:41:51,709 --> 00:41:54,278
[Vince] Sunny and The Smoking Gunns

887
00:41:55,145 --> 00:42:00,018
victorious in grand style
here in Cleveland.

888
00:42:03,755 --> 00:42:06,089
All right. Well,
if you want to talk superstars.

889
00:42:06,991 --> 00:42:11,129
you have to be talking about everyone
who has joined us here in Cleveland.

890
00:42:11,194 --> 00:42:15,066
Yes, everyone in the Gund Arena,
superstars themselves,

891
00:42:15,133 --> 00:42:18,836
we thank you very much for joining us
here tonight for SummerSlam,

892
00:42:18,903 --> 00:42:22,373
and we salute you with an opportunity
to show you so many events

893
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,375
that took place
here in the Greater Cleveland area

894
00:42:25,442 --> 00:42:28,046
involving World Wrestling
Entertainment superstars

895
00:42:28,112 --> 00:42:32,083
and many of you who are in this building
who joined us for these opportunities.

896
00:42:32,150 --> 00:42:33,584
[upbeat music playing]

897
00:42:33,651 --> 00:42:36,754
[narrator] The question is
what's the coolest and fastest way

898
00:42:36,821 --> 00:42:39,957
to get to SummerSlam
here in Cleveland at the Gund Arena?

899
00:42:40,024 --> 00:42:43,461
Well, if you ask The Godwinns,
they've got the answer.

900
00:42:43,928 --> 00:42:48,232
From the, uh-- the rapid transit here,
and we're out here to show everybody

901
00:42:48,299 --> 00:42:50,701
that this is the fastest way
through Cleveland.

902
00:42:50,768 --> 00:42:51,868
No matter what you're on--

903
00:42:51,935 --> 00:42:54,238
-For SummerSlam.
-…into the Gund Arena for SummerSlam.

904
00:42:54,305 --> 00:42:55,873
[narrator]
And what about The Smoking Gunns?

905
00:42:55,940 --> 00:42:58,442
Well, for one thing,
those pig farmers over there

906
00:42:58,509 --> 00:43:00,411
could never beat us in anything.

907
00:43:00,478 --> 00:43:02,779
And, you know,
we have a good old trusty horse,

908
00:43:02,846 --> 00:43:06,250
which back in the old days
always worked for everybody back then.

909
00:43:06,350 --> 00:43:07,585
So it's gonna work for us now.

910
00:43:07,652 --> 00:43:09,120
He almost looks as good as me.

911
00:43:09,187 --> 00:43:12,924
And the Wrestling Entertainment
will race the rapid to SummerSlam.

912
00:43:13,024 --> 00:43:14,892
SummerSlam is this Sunday.

913
00:43:14,959 --> 00:43:19,130
The race is going to prove
the best way to get to the Gund Arena.

914
00:43:19,196 --> 00:43:22,433
[narrator] So,
the Godwinns boarded the rapid train,

915
00:43:22,834 --> 00:43:24,902
and the Gunns boarded their carriage.

916
00:43:25,470 --> 00:43:27,238
Who is gonna come out on top?

917
00:43:28,473 --> 00:43:29,740
Yeah!

918
00:43:29,807 --> 00:43:32,643
Oh, well, see you--
see you at the Gund Arena.

919
00:43:32,743 --> 00:43:34,912
[narrator] And the race was underway.

920
00:43:34,979 --> 00:43:38,482
Look at The Godwinns
as they passed The Smoking Gunns.

921
00:43:38,549 --> 00:43:40,817
It's air-conditioned in there.
Look at that.

922
00:43:40,917 --> 00:43:42,987
Sunny's having a great time
in her carriage.

923
00:43:43,054 --> 00:43:45,388
The horse is rolling, and the race is on.

924
00:43:45,857 --> 00:43:47,792
The Smoking Gunns sitting back relaxing,

925
00:43:47,859 --> 00:43:49,627
as you can see right here,
in their carriage.

926
00:43:49,694 --> 00:43:51,596
They think they've got it all wrapped up.

927
00:43:51,662 --> 00:43:53,731
But The Godwinns have already arrived.

928
00:43:53,798 --> 00:43:54,799
Look at this.

929
00:43:54,899 --> 00:43:56,033
-Hey.
-[woman] Hey, guys.

930
00:43:56,100 --> 00:43:57,835
What time is it?
We got time for lunch.

931
00:43:58,603 --> 00:44:00,138
[narrator] Time for a little lunch break

932
00:44:00,203 --> 00:44:02,306
as you can see
The Smoking Gunns coming now.

933
00:44:02,373 --> 00:44:04,674
And there's no question about it. Guys…

934
00:44:04,741 --> 00:44:06,344
-Let's do it.
-[narrator] …who's gonna cross?

935
00:44:06,444 --> 00:44:09,480
Hey, you're both doing it
at the same time. There you go.

936
00:44:09,547 --> 00:44:12,917
But you know what?
The Smoking Gunns cannot believe it.

937
00:44:12,984 --> 00:44:14,785
Hey, that's not fair. They cheated.

938
00:44:14,852 --> 00:44:16,487
-[man] Hey, shut up.
-Wait a minute.

939
00:44:16,554 --> 00:44:19,190
Oh, don't give me that.

940
00:44:19,257 --> 00:44:21,192
There's no way
that you guys got here that fast.

941
00:44:21,259 --> 00:44:23,294
-You guys cheated.
-[man] We don't have to ride a horse.

942
00:44:23,394 --> 00:44:24,795
We don't know if you cheated.

943
00:44:24,862 --> 00:44:27,698
You guys got in a truck
and rode over here, and you know it.

944
00:44:27,798 --> 00:44:29,366
We got something,
it gets better and better.

945
00:44:29,467 --> 00:44:30,667
[Henry] What a nice ride we had.

946
00:44:30,734 --> 00:44:32,270
-Air-conditioned.
-Air-conditioned.

947
00:44:32,336 --> 00:44:33,437
Comfortable seats.

948
00:44:33,604 --> 00:44:36,073
[Henry] Sunday, when you want
to come to SummerSlam,

949
00:44:36,140 --> 00:44:38,241
jump on that rapid transit as you come on.

950
00:44:38,342 --> 00:44:39,844
-[Phineas] You're right here.
-[Henry] Right here.

951
00:44:40,845 --> 00:44:44,214
[narrator] Jacobs Field here
in Cleveland will never be the same again.

952
00:44:44,281 --> 00:44:47,484
That's because "the King" Jerry Lawler
was hanging out at batting practice.

953
00:44:47,551 --> 00:44:49,620
There you see number 32, Dennis Martinez.

954
00:44:49,687 --> 00:44:50,788
How about this?

955
00:44:50,855 --> 00:44:53,223
The King wants to get
some advice on how to throw the pitch,

956
00:44:53,290 --> 00:44:55,393
so he goes to Sandy Alomar Jr.

957
00:44:55,459 --> 00:44:57,862
[crowd chatter]

958
00:44:57,962 --> 00:45:00,731
All right, Sandy, you've shown me
how to throw the fastball, the sinker,

959
00:45:00,798 --> 00:45:03,000
the slider,
but heck with all those legal pitches.

960
00:45:03,100 --> 00:45:05,002
I wanna know how to throw the spitball.

961
00:45:05,069 --> 00:45:06,304
That's against the rules, right?

962
00:45:06,370 --> 00:45:08,848
Show me how to throw the spitball.
I know you guys do it all the time.

963
00:45:08,924 --> 00:45:10,674
If you show me how to do a piledriver.

964
00:45:10,741 --> 00:45:11,875
-Piledriver?
-Yes.

965
00:45:11,942 --> 00:45:13,810
A piledriver? That's my--
That's my patented hold, man.

966
00:45:13,877 --> 00:45:14,946
-Well, I can--
-I can--

967
00:45:15,046 --> 00:45:17,381
-I can piledrive you.
-You can piledrive me?

968
00:45:17,448 --> 00:45:18,516
-Of course.
-No way.

969
00:45:18,583 --> 00:45:20,116
-Yes, I can.
-You can't piledrive me, Sandy.

970
00:45:20,218 --> 00:45:21,618
-You think?
-Well, wait a minute.

971
00:45:21,685 --> 00:45:22,987
Now, come on, okay. I'm--

972
00:45:23,054 --> 00:45:25,723
[narrator] Well, the King didn't get
an answer he liked there,

973
00:45:25,823 --> 00:45:28,558
so he went
to All-Star pitcher Charles Nagy.

974
00:45:28,725 --> 00:45:30,528
Charles Nagy,
I was at the game last night.

975
00:45:30,595 --> 00:45:32,596
I saw you pitch. It was masterful.

976
00:45:33,231 --> 00:45:35,232
The curveball was working beautifully.

977
00:45:35,299 --> 00:45:36,567
The fastball, everything,

978
00:45:36,634 --> 00:45:38,435
but, man, you were throwing
the best thing, don't you?

979
00:45:38,536 --> 00:45:40,638
You were throwing the spitter.
It was-- It was terrific, right?

980
00:45:40,738 --> 00:45:43,708
There's no such thing as a spitter.
You can't throw those. Those are illegal.

981
00:45:43,808 --> 00:45:45,977
-You should know that.
-Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

982
00:45:46,042 --> 00:45:48,879
You're right. I know that rules are made
to be broken, too, Charles.

983
00:45:48,946 --> 00:45:51,549
So, you go-- Hey, look, I'm the King.
Go ahead, tell. Spitter, right?

984
00:45:51,616 --> 00:45:54,085
I saw you-- Look, you wipe the forehead,
slip it right off the--

985
00:45:54,185 --> 00:45:55,252
-huh?
-No.

986
00:45:55,353 --> 00:45:57,622
[narrator] "The King" Jerry Lawler did
a pretty good job

987
00:45:57,688 --> 00:46:00,958
throwing out the first pitch,
but his seats were-- Well, look.

988
00:46:01,259 --> 00:46:04,929
The last time I let Vince McMahon tell me
he can get me good tickets.

989
00:46:04,996 --> 00:46:07,498
He knows I get a nosebleed
when I get up this high.

990
00:46:07,565 --> 00:46:09,667
Hey, buddy,
how did you get up here, helicopter?

991
00:46:09,734 --> 00:46:13,371
Hey, there's Bob Uecker down there.
Even he's got better seats than I do.

992
00:46:14,571 --> 00:46:17,508
[narrator] Then yesterday, the superstar
of the World Wrestling Entertainment

993
00:46:17,575 --> 00:46:19,377
helped paint the town.

994
00:46:19,442 --> 00:46:23,346
You can see covering the graffiti there,
the superstars glad to help out.

995
00:46:23,413 --> 00:46:27,417
Savio Vega covering it up,
all kinds of WWE superstars.

996
00:46:27,484 --> 00:46:30,288
There you can see
Sunny painting over things.

997
00:46:30,354 --> 00:46:32,957
There's The Godwinns again
after winning their race

998
00:46:33,024 --> 00:46:35,026
painting over the town here in Cleveland,

999
00:46:35,092 --> 00:46:38,095
and the "World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry

1000
00:46:38,162 --> 00:46:41,332
lifting a resident of Cleveland
to help out a little bit.

1001
00:46:41,399 --> 00:46:44,402
SummerSlam weekend
with the World Wrestling Entertainment

1002
00:46:44,468 --> 00:46:46,037
as The Godwinns hanging out.

1003
00:46:46,103 --> 00:46:47,772
It's just an awesome time.

1004
00:46:47,837 --> 00:46:51,575
The-- Oh, look at Sunny
in there hanging out with the fans here

1005
00:46:51,642 --> 00:46:54,612
of the World Wrestling Entertainment,
and Bob Holly painting as well.

1006
00:46:54,679 --> 00:46:57,048
Then, of course,
you have what was very special,

1007
00:46:57,114 --> 00:47:01,051
The Undertaker and Paul Bearer
actually gave away an entire funeral.

1008
00:47:01,118 --> 00:47:03,020
That guy looks like he's a few years away.

1009
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:04,821
He can save it, however.

1010
00:47:04,888 --> 00:47:07,924
Plus, ladies and gentlemen,
Stridex, of course, the official sponsor

1011
00:47:08,025 --> 00:47:11,862
of SummerSlam this year held
a huge party earlier on today.

1012
00:47:11,929 --> 00:47:13,631
Autograph signing sessions going on.

1013
00:47:13,698 --> 00:47:15,598
There you can see
The Godwinns hanging out.

1014
00:47:15,665 --> 00:47:17,968
It was an absolutely incredible weekend

1015
00:47:18,035 --> 00:47:21,004
topped off by a proclamation
from the Mayor of Cleveland,

1016
00:47:21,105 --> 00:47:22,740
Mr. Michael R. White.

1017
00:47:22,832 --> 00:47:27,194
SummerSlam weekend 1996
from the World Wrestling Entertainment.

1018
00:47:27,310 --> 00:47:28,913
["Rule, Britannia" playing]

1019
00:47:32,183 --> 00:47:33,584
-[bell ringing]
-[Vince] All right.

1020
00:47:33,651 --> 00:47:34,719
Here he comes.

1021
00:47:36,187 --> 00:47:39,957
[Howard] Coming down the aisle
from Manchester, England,

1022
00:47:40,024 --> 00:47:43,027
weighing 253 pounds,

1023
00:47:43,094 --> 00:47:46,430
The British Bulldog!

1024
00:47:46,497 --> 00:47:47,832
[Ross] No Cornette either.

1025
00:47:47,897 --> 00:47:50,533
[Vince] Yes, again,
conspicuous by his absence.

1026
00:47:50,634 --> 00:47:56,107
No Jim Cornette. The British Bulldog
on his way to lock up with Sycho Sid.

1027
00:47:58,509 --> 00:48:00,511
What a matchup this was likely to be.

1028
00:48:00,578 --> 00:48:04,615
Two powerhouses going at it
this year at SummerSlam.

1029
00:48:06,884 --> 00:48:10,087
[Ross] Bulldog's getting some intense
training in preparation for this one.

1030
00:48:10,154 --> 00:48:12,156
And I got a gut feeling
he's gonna need it.

1031
00:48:13,257 --> 00:48:15,326
[Vince] All right.
Let's take you back now.

1032
00:48:15,393 --> 00:48:18,596
Dok, standing by, I believe,
with Sycho Sid. Dok?

1033
00:48:20,330 --> 00:48:21,732
All right. Thank you, Vince.

1034
00:48:22,165 --> 00:48:25,502
Sid, it must be a nice surprise
and a great feeling,

1035
00:48:25,569 --> 00:48:29,940
the overwhelming support you've received
from the WWE fans since you've returned

1036
00:48:30,007 --> 00:48:32,143
-to the World Wrestling Entertainment.
-Dok, Dok, stop right there.

1037
00:48:32,209 --> 00:48:34,145
I know what the question is,
let me give you the answer.

1038
00:48:34,211 --> 00:48:36,913
You see, it didn't start then.
It started months ago.

1039
00:48:36,981 --> 00:48:40,785
When I am laying asleep,
and it came to me,

1040
00:48:40,850 --> 00:48:44,587
the people are screaming "Sid! Sid!"

1041
00:48:44,654 --> 00:48:47,658
They screamed,
but their demand was simple.

1042
00:48:47,725 --> 00:48:51,462
They wanted their man back,
and the man is here, my friend!

1043
00:48:51,529 --> 00:48:53,531
The man is here to stay!

1044
00:48:53,596 --> 00:48:55,633
All right. Sid,
you've claimed on numerous occasions

1045
00:48:55,699 --> 00:48:57,500
you're the ruler and master of the world.

1046
00:48:57,567 --> 00:49:00,571
Question is, right now,
can you rule and master

1047
00:49:00,638 --> 00:49:02,406
the world of The British Bulldog?

1048
00:49:02,473 --> 00:49:03,741
It's funny you said that,

1049
00:49:03,808 --> 00:49:07,511
but you see until just recently,
I feel like there was just

1050
00:49:07,578 --> 00:49:09,346
a little bit of something missing.

1051
00:49:09,413 --> 00:49:13,683
So tonight, Bulldog,
it's my chance to take one more step.

1052
00:49:14,084 --> 00:49:15,819
One more step at a time.

1053
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:19,156
For when it's over,
you're smokin' as my friend,

1054
00:49:19,223 --> 00:49:21,158
the people will be standing,

1055
00:49:21,258 --> 00:49:24,361
and they will say,
"Sid, you are the master."

1056
00:49:24,995 --> 00:49:29,333
"You are the ruler of the world."

1057
00:49:29,433 --> 00:49:34,672
All right, guys. Here comes six-nine,
313 pounds of a powerbomb.

1058
00:49:34,772 --> 00:49:38,008
[Vince] Yeah. Well, we're ready for him.
I'm not so sure The British Bulldog is.

1059
00:49:39,442 --> 00:49:43,481
However, you never can tell
what Davey Boy Smith "The British Bulldog"

1060
00:49:43,547 --> 00:49:45,415
is gonna pull out of his bag of tricks.

1061
00:49:45,482 --> 00:49:47,718
[Mr. Perfect] Well, he's got
the experience, no doubt.

1062
00:49:47,785 --> 00:49:49,620
[Ross] Can't underestimate The Bulldog.

1063
00:49:50,154 --> 00:49:53,057
He knows what it's like to wear gold.
He's been Intercontinental Champion,

1064
00:49:53,123 --> 00:49:55,658
defeated the legendary Bret Hart
at Wembley Stadium.

1065
00:49:55,759 --> 00:49:58,796
Already thousands of fans
in here for that big matchup.

1066
00:49:58,863 --> 00:50:01,464
The Bulldog's been a Tag Champion
here in the WWE.

1067
00:50:01,531 --> 00:50:03,901
What a great team
he and The Dynamite Kid were.

1068
00:50:03,968 --> 00:50:05,603
Now, he's a phenomenal athlete.

1069
00:50:05,669 --> 00:50:09,740
-[crowd chatter]
-The man is here! The man is here!

1070
00:50:10,341 --> 00:50:11,375
See.

1071
00:50:12,375 --> 00:50:14,778
Davey, the game we play tonight is simple.

1072
00:50:15,846 --> 00:50:18,082
-Two men enter, one man survives.
-Yes!

1073
00:50:18,147 --> 00:50:20,384
-[crowd member] No mercy!
-[overlapping chatter]

1074
00:50:25,589 --> 00:50:28,058
-It's a matchup.
-[Vince] Look at this.

1075
00:50:28,692 --> 00:50:29,692
You wonder…

1076
00:50:29,792 --> 00:50:32,696
…And you will, my friend,
and his name is Sid.

1077
00:50:33,163 --> 00:50:35,533
[Vince] …is Sid talking to himself,

1078
00:50:35,598 --> 00:50:38,202
talking to his demons,
talking to the fans?

1079
00:50:38,602 --> 00:50:39,569
You wonder.

1080
00:50:39,636 --> 00:50:41,471
-[Ross] Yeah.
-[Vince] And it's almost as if he--

1081
00:50:41,538 --> 00:50:43,073
almost as if he hears voices.

1082
00:50:43,140 --> 00:50:45,241
[Ross] I think you're right.
Exactly what I was thinking.

1083
00:50:45,341 --> 00:50:51,515
[Vince] I've never seen any individual
psych himself up quite like Sycho Sid

1084
00:50:51,582 --> 00:50:53,116
prior to a matchup.

1085
00:50:53,183 --> 00:50:58,522
I mean, he builds himself mentally
and physically into a frenzy.

1086
00:51:01,825 --> 00:51:04,028
[Ross] He motivates himself into a rage.

1087
00:51:04,694 --> 00:51:07,330
He's not gonna beat you
at technical expertise.

1088
00:51:07,830 --> 00:51:10,834
He's not gonna show you
too many Fireman's Carry takedowns.

1089
00:51:11,167 --> 00:51:14,571
Sycho Sid's gonna come
with intensity and that raw power,

1090
00:51:14,638 --> 00:51:19,643
that God-given size
at six-nine, 313 pounds,

1091
00:51:19,710 --> 00:51:21,478
and he uses every inch of it.

1092
00:51:21,545 --> 00:51:26,317
[crowd cheering]

1093
00:51:26,884 --> 00:51:30,386
[Vince] The British Bulldog
against Sycho Sid.

1094
00:51:30,453 --> 00:51:31,721
["Psycho Dance" playing]

1095
00:51:32,489 --> 00:51:36,426
[Vince] And The Bulldog
showing great respect for Sid

1096
00:51:36,493 --> 00:51:41,699
keeping his distance away
from the-- from Sycho Sid.

1097
00:51:42,132 --> 00:51:46,569
I think Sid's building this capacity crowd
into a frenzy as well.

1098
00:51:48,606 --> 00:51:50,574
[Ross] Oh, he knows he's psycho.

1099
00:51:51,674 --> 00:51:54,011
-Just go with it, I guess.
-[bell ringing]

1100
00:51:55,011 --> 00:51:57,281
[Vince] You use what you have as an asset

1101
00:51:59,450 --> 00:52:01,852
out of the ring
in a different environment.

1102
00:52:02,219 --> 00:52:05,122
Sid, one of the nicest gentlemen
you'll ever wanna meet.

1103
00:52:06,089 --> 00:52:10,995
But… [chuckles]
…when he's in the ring, look out.

1104
00:52:11,060 --> 00:52:13,797
[crowd chanting]

1105
00:52:13,864 --> 00:52:17,301
[Ross] I wonder what our fans
back in the U.K. are thinking

1106
00:52:17,368 --> 00:52:19,470
of The British Bulldog these days.

1107
00:52:21,038 --> 00:52:23,607
[Vince] Well, I would suggest
that fans are alike all over the world.

1108
00:52:23,674 --> 00:52:25,375
Here we go,
The Bulldog coming off the rope and--

1109
00:52:25,442 --> 00:52:27,277
-[Mr. Perfect] Uh-oh.
-[Vince] Oh, nothing doing.

1110
00:52:27,344 --> 00:52:28,812
As powerful as The Bulldog,

1111
00:52:28,879 --> 00:52:31,015
he's gonna try it again.
He was invited to try it again.

1112
00:52:31,115 --> 00:52:33,616
Look at this, Sid with a forearm--

1113
00:52:33,683 --> 00:52:36,854
Oh, but he nailed The British Bulldog.

1114
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:40,124
[Ross] Raw unadulterated power.
We're gonna see a lot of it.

1115
00:52:40,190 --> 00:52:41,991
[Vince] And, oh, there it is again.

1116
00:52:42,058 --> 00:52:43,594
And Bulldog to the outside.

1117
00:52:43,661 --> 00:52:45,095
[Mr. Perfect] Well,
he's doing the smart thing.

1118
00:52:45,162 --> 00:52:47,397
Take a little breather.
Get your composure.

1119
00:52:47,464 --> 00:52:48,899
[Vince] Speaking on that--

1120
00:52:50,033 --> 00:52:53,569
[Ross] That's a Viktor-like maneuver
by The British Bulldog.

1121
00:52:54,837 --> 00:52:56,406
Sid was building momentum.

1122
00:52:56,473 --> 00:52:59,009
Bulldog took a couple of stiff shots.

1123
00:52:59,076 --> 00:53:03,513
Smart thing to do is roll
out of bounds, let things settle down.

1124
00:53:04,281 --> 00:53:08,618
One thing The Bulldog has going for him
among many things is his experience…

1125
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:09,720
[crowd chanting]

1126
00:53:09,819 --> 00:53:16,125
[Ross] …but Sycho Sid has
these 18,000-plus fans going for him.

1127
00:53:16,493 --> 00:53:19,096
And that could be
the difference in this matchup.

1128
00:53:20,297 --> 00:53:22,799
I talked to some nice fans
just a few moments ago

1129
00:53:22,866 --> 00:53:24,567
who went on the air from Australia.

1130
00:53:24,634 --> 00:53:28,439
They've traveled all the way here
to join us live at SummerSlam.

1131
00:53:28,504 --> 00:53:30,174
[Vince] Bulldog and Sid.

1132
00:53:30,240 --> 00:53:33,210
Sid again standing side headlock,
trying to get out of it.

1133
00:53:33,277 --> 00:53:34,877
Sid going to his power.

1134
00:53:36,613 --> 00:53:39,716
What great leverage Sid has as well,
really put together.

1135
00:53:39,783 --> 00:53:42,152
[Ross] Sid's about to keep
this match very deliberate.

1136
00:53:42,286 --> 00:53:45,422
Bulldog is the quicker of the two,
not to say that Sid isn't quick.

1137
00:53:45,489 --> 00:53:48,658
[Mr. Perfect] Oh, see that?
Lower center of gravity for The Bulldog

1138
00:53:50,728 --> 00:53:52,495
-[Vince] And again, conspicuous.
-[Ross] Whoa!

1139
00:53:52,562 --> 00:53:53,830
[Vince] Oh, nice takedown.

1140
00:53:54,698 --> 00:53:56,366
Not much of a cover there.

1141
00:53:56,433 --> 00:53:59,536
Conspicuous by his actions,
again, Jim Cornette,

1142
00:54:00,203 --> 00:54:04,942
who is no doubt concentrating
on the WWE Championship.

1143
00:54:05,008 --> 00:54:06,743
Look at that maneuver by Sid, nice escape.

1144
00:54:06,810 --> 00:54:09,645
-[Ross] I don't think-- Uh-oh.
-[Vince] Uh-oh. Oh, whoa.

1145
00:54:09,712 --> 00:54:12,249
One, two, and-- Kick-out by The Bulldog.

1146
00:54:12,348 --> 00:54:14,585
[Ross] I don't think
the fans have missed Cornette.

1147
00:54:14,651 --> 00:54:16,553
He's about as popular here as Art Modell.

1148
00:54:16,620 --> 00:54:19,490
-[Vince laughs] Speaking about--
-[Mr. Perfect] There we go.

1149
00:54:19,556 --> 00:54:20,991
[Vince] Uh-oh, wait a minute.
Setting Sid up now.

1150
00:54:21,058 --> 00:54:22,605
[Mr. Perfect]
Bulldog just waiting for his opening

1151
00:54:22,725 --> 00:54:24,127
-and then taking advantage of it.
-[Vince] Uh-oh.

1152
00:54:24,194 --> 00:54:25,696
[Mr. Perfect] Look at the strength
of The Bulldog--

1153
00:54:25,763 --> 00:54:27,231
[Vince] Space, and he clears him.
What a powerhouse.

1154
00:54:27,297 --> 00:54:28,665
-[Ross] Will you look at that?
-[Vince] Yes.

1155
00:54:28,766 --> 00:54:30,033
-[Ross] Look at that.
-[Vince] Oh!

1156
00:54:30,734 --> 00:54:32,970
That is power on the part of The Bulldog.

1157
00:54:33,069 --> 00:54:35,272
-But he doesn't follow up.
-[Ross] And Clarence is there.

1158
00:54:35,339 --> 00:54:38,475
[Vince] There's Clarence Mason
back down at ringside.

1159
00:54:38,542 --> 00:54:40,711
[Ross] I heard
Clarence had dinner last night

1160
00:54:40,810 --> 00:54:42,712
right outside Cleveland with Don King.

1161
00:54:42,779 --> 00:54:45,082
I wonder what that was
all about if it was true.

1162
00:54:45,816 --> 00:54:49,520
[Vince] Don King, of course,
unlike many other luminaries.

1163
00:54:50,053 --> 00:54:51,587
Born here in the Cleveland area.

1164
00:54:53,824 --> 00:54:56,093
-[Ross] Lateral press.
-[Vince] That'll do, and-- Oh, wow.

1165
00:54:58,562 --> 00:55:00,798
[Ross] Cleveland's got a lot
of famous fights come between 'em.

1166
00:55:00,864 --> 00:55:02,098
Paul Newman, Bob Hope.

1167
00:55:02,165 --> 00:55:03,366
[Clarence] Get off the mat, Sid!

1168
00:55:03,433 --> 00:55:06,036
[Mr. Perfect] I think he's trying
to announce here-- out here-- out here.

1169
00:55:06,403 --> 00:55:08,672
[Vince] Isn't Goldust from Cleveland also?

1170
00:55:08,772 --> 00:55:10,040
[Mr. Perfect] I don't think so.

1171
00:55:10,107 --> 00:55:11,607
-[crowd chatter]
-No.

1172
00:55:12,209 --> 00:55:15,611
[Vince] All right.
Bulldog continuing to work on Sid.

1173
00:55:18,714 --> 00:55:22,019
[Ross] Good move by the, uh--
by The Bulldog, that reverse chinlock.

1174
00:55:22,085 --> 00:55:23,420
He's gotta keep Sid grounded.

1175
00:55:23,486 --> 00:55:25,455
We talked a lot about vertical base,

1176
00:55:25,522 --> 00:55:28,491
in other words,
when Sid is upright at six-nine,

1177
00:55:28,558 --> 00:55:31,461
he not only has the power advantage
but leverage as well.

1178
00:55:31,528 --> 00:55:33,564
[Vince] Oh, wait a minute.
We're told that Cornette--

1179
00:55:33,629 --> 00:55:36,533
If we can't take-- get a shot
of Cornette's locker room,

1180
00:55:36,633 --> 00:55:39,970
we've had a camera back there--
A clothesline and Sid to the outside.

1181
00:55:40,037 --> 00:55:41,772
-[crowd chatter]
-Come on.

1182
00:55:41,839 --> 00:55:44,774
[Vince] Jim Cornette back
with Vader in the locker room area

1183
00:55:44,841 --> 00:55:46,310
watching this matchup.

1184
00:55:47,611 --> 00:55:49,613
And Clarence Mason…

1185
00:55:51,781 --> 00:55:54,151
with not-so-nice comments
a moment ago just--

1186
00:55:54,218 --> 00:55:55,219
And a clothesline.

1187
00:55:55,285 --> 00:55:59,489
[Ross] I wonder-- I wonder if Cornette is
even aware that Mason is out here.

1188
00:56:00,357 --> 00:56:02,359
And if he is, what's he think about it?

1189
00:56:04,261 --> 00:56:06,897
[Mr. Perfect] What great agility
by The British Bulldog.

1190
00:56:06,964 --> 00:56:09,533
[crowd chatter]

1191
00:56:14,904 --> 00:56:18,408
[Vince] And Sid brought in,
ladies and gentlemen, and-- Oh!

1192
00:56:20,143 --> 00:56:23,513
[Ross] Boy, that takes a lot
of strength by The British Bulldog.

1193
00:56:23,580 --> 00:56:24,781
Talk about a gutbuster.

1194
00:56:25,449 --> 00:56:26,549
[Mr. Perfect] A cover.

1195
00:56:26,616 --> 00:56:27,783
He's done. Count him out.

1196
00:56:28,685 --> 00:56:30,187
[Vince] A cover here by The Bulldog.

1197
00:56:30,254 --> 00:56:32,422
We have two and-- That was close.

1198
00:56:37,461 --> 00:56:40,096
[Ross] Bulldog with that big arm
right around the neck of Sycho Sid.

1199
00:56:40,163 --> 00:56:43,966
Right now, The Bulldog is dictating
the pace here, gentlemen.

1200
00:56:44,033 --> 00:56:46,937
Sycho Sid is not able
to use that power in this position.

1201
00:56:47,004 --> 00:56:48,772
Smart wrestling by The Bulldog.

1202
00:56:48,839 --> 00:56:50,473
[Mr. Perfect]
Was there any doubt in your mind

1203
00:56:50,574 --> 00:56:52,609
with the experience
that The British Bulldog has, Ross,

1204
00:56:52,676 --> 00:56:54,377
that he would not wrestle Sid?

1205
00:56:55,045 --> 00:56:57,047
[Ross] Oh, no, no. No, no doubt at all.

1206
00:56:57,114 --> 00:57:00,817
And Sycho Sid building
some momentum here now,

1207
00:57:00,884 --> 00:57:03,921
and again going back
to what brought him to the dance.

1208
00:57:03,986 --> 00:57:05,622
That's raw power.

1209
00:57:05,689 --> 00:57:08,524
Clarence Mason getting
a little bit concerned here.

1210
00:57:09,058 --> 00:57:10,993
[Vince] Look out and-- Oh!

1211
00:57:13,062 --> 00:57:15,232
Sid a little overzealous on that maneuver.

1212
00:57:16,466 --> 00:57:18,969
[Ross] When the pace quickened,
I think Sid is at a disadvantage

1213
00:57:19,036 --> 00:57:20,270
as in relation to The Bulldog.

1214
00:57:20,370 --> 00:57:22,272
[Mr. Perfect]
Oh, here we go. This one's over.

1215
00:57:22,339 --> 00:57:24,875
[Vince] Yes and big powerslam.

1216
00:57:24,942 --> 00:57:26,009
[crowd chatter]

1217
00:57:26,076 --> 00:57:27,743
[Vince] Hey, wait a minute.
Cornette. Look at this.

1218
00:57:27,810 --> 00:57:31,748
Cornette's coming down here,
and he is angry at Clarence Mason.

1219
00:57:31,815 --> 00:57:33,716
[crowd chatter]

1220
00:57:33,850 --> 00:57:37,453
[Ross] Well, Bulldog just--
Bulldog just powerslammed Sid,

1221
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:39,256
and he's not covering him.

1222
00:57:39,323 --> 00:57:41,959
Bulldog distracted
by what's going on in the outside.

1223
00:57:42,058 --> 00:57:44,394
And Sid has now a chance to get back up.

1224
00:57:44,461 --> 00:57:46,830
[Vince] And Sid scooped up now,
and he's gonna get another one.

1225
00:57:46,930 --> 00:57:48,899
-[Mr. Perfect] Look at him.
-[Vince] Oh, he's behind The Bulldog.

1226
00:57:48,966 --> 00:57:50,000
Oh, wait a minute.

1227
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,703
Can we say Chokeslam? Yeah.

1228
00:57:56,807 --> 00:57:58,542
Will we see the powerbomb?

1229
00:57:58,607 --> 00:58:00,344
[crowd cheering]

1230
00:58:01,310 --> 00:58:03,446
[Mr. Perfect] Get in the ring,
Cornette, and break it up.

1231
00:58:04,548 --> 00:58:07,984
[Vince] Cornette coming down
to ringside, obviously taking exception

1232
00:58:08,384 --> 00:58:10,486
to Clarence Mason's presence.

1233
00:58:10,553 --> 00:58:11,922
And look at this.

1234
00:58:12,788 --> 00:58:14,924
Oh, powerbomb.

1235
00:58:15,058 --> 00:58:17,060
One, two-- Oh.

1236
00:58:17,127 --> 00:58:18,361
-[bell ringing]
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh, come on.

1237
00:58:18,428 --> 00:58:21,098
How can Cornette stand
on the outside and watch that happen?

1238
00:58:21,163 --> 00:58:23,066
-[Howard] Here is your winner, Sycho Sid!
-["Psycho Dance" playing]

1239
00:58:23,165 --> 00:58:24,500
[Ross] And what would Vader think?

1240
00:58:24,567 --> 00:58:26,502
Vader was left alone
back in the locker room.

1241
00:58:26,569 --> 00:58:29,006
Cornette bolted out
of the locker room, apparently.

1242
00:58:30,140 --> 00:58:33,777
[Vince] And how about it?
Sid victorious over The British Bulldog.

1243
00:58:33,877 --> 00:58:36,645
And now I'm not so sure
if The British Bulldog

1244
00:58:36,747 --> 00:58:39,783
would not blame Cornette
or Mason for his loss?

1245
00:58:39,850 --> 00:58:41,917
[Mr. Perfect] Well,
Cornette's gotta be furious with Mason.

1246
00:58:41,984 --> 00:58:43,086
[Vince] Look at this.

1247
00:58:43,687 --> 00:58:45,788
-[Ross] Well, Cornette--
-[Vince] What do you mean by that?

1248
00:58:45,888 --> 00:58:48,424
[Mr. Perfect] Well, take a look at it.
He's come out. What's he doing, man?

1249
00:58:48,491 --> 00:58:50,093
Is Mason out there looking at The Bulldog

1250
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:52,194
trying to take over
the job of Jim Cornette?

1251
00:58:52,696 --> 00:58:54,364
[Vince] Is this really
what he was trying to do?

1252
00:58:54,464 --> 00:58:55,765
[Mr. Perfect] That I don't know.

1253
00:58:55,832 --> 00:58:57,299
[Ross] He's quite the entrepreneur,
I hear.

1254
00:58:57,366 --> 00:58:58,301
[Vince laughs]

1255
00:58:58,368 --> 00:59:00,236
[Ross] That's the hot rumor
that's going around.

1256
00:59:01,238 --> 00:59:03,874
[Vince] Nonetheless, it's a victory,
ladies and gentlemen,

1257
00:59:03,940 --> 00:59:05,776
as we take a look at the powerbomb.

1258
00:59:05,841 --> 00:59:10,647
[Ross] Six feet nine and that gives
a whole new dimension to the powerbomb.

1259
00:59:10,714 --> 00:59:14,750
Six-nine, 313, Sycho Sid,
as the posters out in the--

1260
00:59:14,817 --> 00:59:17,953
this massive crowd says,
"Sycho Sid rules."

1261
00:59:18,055 --> 00:59:21,191
[Vince] There are a number of them.
"Sid for president." Who knows?

1262
00:59:21,258 --> 00:59:22,292
[Ross] That will be interesting.

1263
00:59:22,359 --> 00:59:24,428
[Vince] Anything can happen here
in the World Wrestling Entertainment.

1264
00:59:24,493 --> 00:59:25,629
No doubt about that.

1265
00:59:26,962 --> 00:59:29,066
We certainly are anxiously awaiting,
ladies and gentlemen,

1266
00:59:29,165 --> 00:59:31,935
for the presence of the World Wrestling
Entertainment Champion,

1267
00:59:32,002 --> 00:59:34,270
Shawn Michaels,
with a match that's gonna be with Vader.

1268
00:59:34,337 --> 00:59:38,808
Welcome to the World Wrestling
Entertainment In Your House!

1269
00:59:40,377 --> 00:59:41,977
Hey, guys. What brings you back?

1270
00:59:42,044 --> 00:59:44,748
[alien] Continued examination
of the World Wrestling Entertainment.

1271
00:59:44,815 --> 00:59:47,216
This time, we want to assess
its influence on Earth babes.

1272
00:59:47,283 --> 00:59:49,886
[Vince] I've never seen
anything like this in my life.

1273
00:59:49,953 --> 00:59:51,421
[Jerry] This whole building shook.

1274
00:59:51,488 --> 00:59:52,622
You guys rule.

1275
00:59:52,689 --> 00:59:55,024
-[Vince] Only in the WWE.
-[Jerry] Oh, did you see that?

1276
00:59:55,091 --> 00:59:56,593
This WWE is cool.

1277
00:59:56,660 --> 00:59:57,694
Good.

1278
00:59:57,761 --> 00:59:59,495
[narrator] WWE In Your House.

1279
00:59:59,562 --> 01:00:01,498
Friends keep coming back for more.

1280
01:00:02,999 --> 01:00:05,335
["Golden" playing]

1281
01:00:05,435 --> 01:00:08,205
[Vince] Well, well, well,
here he comes, ladies and gentlemen,

1282
01:00:08,270 --> 01:00:12,475
the most bizarre individual in the history
of the World Wrestling Entertainment.

1283
01:00:12,542 --> 01:00:15,879
Those of you who joined us
at the Bikini Beach Blast-Off saw him

1284
01:00:15,946 --> 01:00:18,714
along with Marlena.
Here they come. Goldust.

1285
01:00:18,781 --> 01:00:20,884
-[bell ringing]
-[Vince] And it's raining Goldust here

1286
01:00:20,951 --> 01:00:22,786
-at the Gund Arena.
-[Howard announcing]

1287
01:00:22,886 --> 01:00:26,957
[Ross] Goldust certainly seemed
to have his radar honed in on Sable

1288
01:00:27,057 --> 01:00:29,459
here in the Bikini Beach Blast-Off.

1289
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:34,330
[Vince] Not just during then.
He's obviously stated his affection.

1290
01:00:34,397 --> 01:00:37,334
[Ross] I had a chance
to talk to Goldust and Sable--

1291
01:00:37,399 --> 01:00:40,337
uh, Goldust and Marlena about it
yesterday, and I asked Marlena--

1292
01:00:40,403 --> 01:00:42,471
-[Vince] Ugh!
-[Ross] Oh my-- I didn't see that.

1293
01:00:42,538 --> 01:00:45,674
She had a problem
with Goldust's affection towards Sable,

1294
01:00:45,741 --> 01:00:48,845
and she said whatever makes
Goldust happy makes her happy.

1295
01:00:51,714 --> 01:00:54,783
[Vince] Goldust against
the "Wildman" Marc Mero.

1296
01:00:55,352 --> 01:00:58,455
It should be quite an outstanding matchup
here at SummerSlam.

1297
01:01:01,290 --> 01:01:02,926
[Ross] I think it will be a great matchup.

1298
01:01:03,026 --> 01:01:06,263
You got Goldust with a size
and leverage advantage,

1299
01:01:06,328 --> 01:01:09,466
but the Wildman has
something to prove here.

1300
01:01:10,133 --> 01:01:12,636
I really believe
that his high-flying style

1301
01:01:13,303 --> 01:01:15,238
will work very well in this matchup.

1302
01:01:15,337 --> 01:01:17,107
[Mr. Perfect] I think
that high-flying style gets you

1303
01:01:17,174 --> 01:01:18,107
in trouble.

1304
01:01:18,174 --> 01:01:20,609
[Vince] Well, it is risky,
no doubt about that.

1305
01:01:21,044 --> 01:01:24,214
If you connect with it,
it normally assures you a victory.

1306
01:01:24,381 --> 01:01:26,750
If you don't,
it normally assures you a defeat.

1307
01:01:26,816 --> 01:01:30,187
[Ross] Oh, by the way, Vince, uh,
Marlena gave me a cigar to give you later.

1308
01:01:30,252 --> 01:01:32,189
[Vince] Thank you very much.
I don't smoke.

1309
01:01:34,024 --> 01:01:40,830
Nonetheless, Marlena and Goldust going
through some of their theatrics.

1310
01:01:40,897 --> 01:01:45,569
And it is the theatrics of Goldust
that normally will throw an opponent off.

1311
01:01:45,634 --> 01:01:49,239
You wonder whether or not
it will throw "Wildman" Marc Mero off.

1312
01:01:49,306 --> 01:01:52,308
With that in mind, let's take you now,
ladies and gentlemen,

1313
01:01:52,375 --> 01:01:53,843
to Todd Pettengill. Todd?

1314
01:01:53,944 --> 01:01:55,011
Vince, thank you very much.

1315
01:01:55,111 --> 01:01:58,781
Obviously, tonight,
all that glitters is definitely Goldust.

1316
01:01:58,848 --> 01:02:00,517
He has made it public now,

1317
01:02:00,584 --> 01:02:03,587
his infatuation
with Sable is clear to everybody.

1318
01:02:03,653 --> 01:02:05,855
First, before I ask you
to comment on the matchup,

1319
01:02:05,922 --> 01:02:09,926
I wanna show you some footage from
earlier on this weekend on WWE Superstars.

1320
01:02:10,426 --> 01:02:11,995
It was absolutely incredible.

1321
01:02:12,062 --> 01:02:16,499
Mankind shows up right here,
and obviously, Sable is freaked out.

1322
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,569
-He begins calling her "Mommy." Listen.
-Help me, Mommy.

1323
01:02:19,769 --> 01:02:21,404
-[crowd chatter]
-I've been a naughty boy.

1324
01:02:21,870 --> 01:02:24,374
I've been a naughty boy, Mommy.

1325
01:02:25,609 --> 01:02:28,377
Help me, Mommy. Come on, Mommy.

1326
01:02:28,944 --> 01:02:32,348
Wildman, do you have any idea
what's going on with Mankind or--

1327
01:02:32,415 --> 01:02:33,616
I can't understand Mankind.

1328
01:02:33,683 --> 01:02:36,352
I can't understand all the head games,
but I'll tell you, Todd,

1329
01:02:36,419 --> 01:02:38,888
it's time to either put up or shut up.

1330
01:02:38,955 --> 01:02:43,292
Goldust, tonight, you, my friend,
are gonna be a falling star.

1331
01:02:43,359 --> 01:02:44,694
That's all I can say.

1332
01:02:45,528 --> 01:02:46,830
Back to ringside.

1333
01:02:46,895 --> 01:02:48,397
[Vince] Thank you, gentlemen, very much.

1334
01:02:48,464 --> 01:02:50,700
Yes. "Wildman" Marc Mero,
ladies and-- Uh-oh.

1335
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:52,368
Oh my goodness. There they are.

1336
01:02:52,435 --> 01:02:54,604
[Ross] That's a bizarre pair,
I'll tell you.

1337
01:02:54,738 --> 01:02:56,239
-[Vince] Goldust.
-["Wild Cat" playing]

1338
01:02:56,306 --> 01:02:58,073
[Vince] Oh, it's time to get wild here.

1339
01:02:58,140 --> 01:03:00,442
It's time to crank things up
at SummerSlam.

1340
01:03:00,509 --> 01:03:05,548
[Howard] His opponent, to be accompanied
down the aisle by Sable,

1341
01:03:05,615 --> 01:03:08,984
from Buffalo, New York,
weighing 225 pounds…

1342
01:03:09,051 --> 01:03:11,421
[Vince] Yes.
The World Wrestling Entertainment's

1343
01:03:11,488 --> 01:03:14,790
one-two punch
"Wildman" Marc Mero and Sable.

1344
01:03:14,890 --> 01:03:17,192
[Ross] It's a beautiful new ring attire,
a new look.

1345
01:03:17,259 --> 01:03:20,163
[Vince] They are very special people,
not only in the ring

1346
01:03:20,263 --> 01:03:23,767
but outside the ring as well.
Very special people.

1347
01:03:24,433 --> 01:03:27,569
[Ross] Wildman told me earlier today
that he is going to unveil,

1348
01:03:27,636 --> 01:03:31,207
if he had the opportunity,
a new offensive maneuver.

1349
01:03:31,274 --> 01:03:33,977
And he wants to call it the "Wild Thing."
I said, "What's it's all about?"

1350
01:03:34,077 --> 01:03:36,011
He says, "You'll know it when you see it."

1351
01:03:36,078 --> 01:03:38,748
[Mr. Perfect] Yeah,
look at Goldust checking out Sable.

1352
01:03:38,814 --> 01:03:39,848
[Vince] That's pitiful.

1353
01:03:39,915 --> 01:03:41,651
[Mr. Perfect]
Along with everybody else here.

1354
01:03:42,352 --> 01:03:46,122
[Vince] Fine-looking lady.
And here we go, "Wildman" Marc Mero, yeah.

1355
01:03:46,189 --> 01:03:48,625
[Mr. Perfect] You know, McMahon,
I don't know if I'm into these fancy suits

1356
01:03:48,692 --> 01:03:50,160
and all this dress and music.

1357
01:03:50,225 --> 01:03:52,127
Whatever happened
to guys like Mr. Perfect,

1358
01:03:52,194 --> 01:03:53,696
just go out and get the job done?

1359
01:03:53,763 --> 01:03:55,419
[Vince] I don't know.
Whatever did happen to them?

1360
01:03:55,498 --> 01:03:57,094
[Mr. Perfect] I'm still around,
don't worry about it.

1361
01:03:57,194 --> 01:03:59,336
-[Vince laughs]
-[Ross] Are you retired?

1362
01:04:00,502 --> 01:04:02,172
[Mr. Perfect]
It's none of your business, Ross.

1363
01:04:04,341 --> 01:04:05,841
[Vince] Sable and the Wildman.

1364
01:04:09,511 --> 01:04:10,547
And, uh…

1365
01:04:11,381 --> 01:04:14,017
[Ross] You know,
we talk a lot about high-risk offense.

1366
01:04:14,084 --> 01:04:16,819
I think that we're gonna see
a lot of that in this matchup.

1367
01:04:16,986 --> 01:04:18,754
The Wildman is gonna take
a lot of chances.

1368
01:04:18,821 --> 01:04:21,091
He wants a big victory
here at SummerSlam.

1369
01:04:21,191 --> 01:04:24,294
Goldust, on the other hand,
we have seen a transformation,

1370
01:04:24,361 --> 01:04:27,997
a metamorphosis of Goldust
in the last couple or three months

1371
01:04:28,064 --> 01:04:30,633
becoming much, much more aggressive.

1372
01:04:30,700 --> 01:04:33,703
That harder edge
that Goldust now possesses is a--

1373
01:04:33,770 --> 01:04:35,558
is a very dangerous side of this man.

1374
01:04:35,709 --> 01:04:38,107
[Mr. Perfect] I think that started when
he lost the Intercontinental Championship.

1375
01:04:38,174 --> 01:04:39,776
-[Vince] Definitely did.
-[Ross] Good point.

1376
01:04:39,875 --> 01:04:41,778
-[Vince] Far more intense.
-[bell ringing]

1377
01:04:41,877 --> 01:04:44,314
[Vince]
And the "Wildman" Marc Mero notches it up

1378
01:04:44,381 --> 01:04:46,982
a couple of rungs, too,
in terms of the intensity.

1379
01:04:48,484 --> 01:04:51,687
Both individuals wanting
to climb the ladder of success

1380
01:04:51,754 --> 01:04:55,825
in the World Wrestling-- And here we go
with Goldust again with the theatrics.

1381
01:04:56,292 --> 01:04:57,993
[crowd chatter]

1382
01:04:58,094 --> 01:04:59,763
-[Ross] Sir Laurence Olivier--
-[Vince] I beg your pardon?

1383
01:04:59,828 --> 01:05:01,498
-[Ross] Sir Laurence Olivier--
-[Vince laughs]

1384
01:05:01,564 --> 01:05:05,335
[Ross] …God bless his soul, has nothing--
he's rolling over in his grave, I guess,

1385
01:05:05,435 --> 01:05:06,970
looking at this thespian.

1386
01:05:09,506 --> 01:05:13,076
[Vince] Wildman better watch
what Goldust is gonna do.

1387
01:05:13,143 --> 01:05:15,011
Not too likely to get a clean break here.

1388
01:05:15,078 --> 01:05:16,879
-[Ross] See, I don't think--
-[Vince] Uh-oh.

1389
01:05:16,946 --> 01:05:20,783
[Ross] Well, the theatrics will not affect
the Wildman, the slap in the face will.

1390
01:05:23,787 --> 01:05:25,888
[Vince] "Wildman" Marc Mero
against Goldust.

1391
01:05:25,955 --> 01:05:28,390
Sable on the outside
always behind her man.

1392
01:05:29,792 --> 01:05:31,493
As opposed to that, look at this.

1393
01:05:32,261 --> 01:05:34,397
-[Ross] Just sit back and take it easy.
-[Vince] I guess.

1394
01:05:34,464 --> 01:05:36,064
[Mr. Perfect] I like that style.

1395
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:41,236
[Vince] Hardly any emotion at all
on the part of Marlena.

1396
01:05:41,303 --> 01:05:42,238
[Sable] Come on, Marc!

1397
01:05:42,305 --> 01:05:44,774
[Vince]
Standing side headlock now, Goldust.

1398
01:05:47,109 --> 01:05:50,712
Leapfrog by Marc Mero, goes downstairs,
Goldust from the other side.

1399
01:05:50,779 --> 01:05:53,283
-Oh! How about that?
-[Ross] Good Japanese arm drag there.

1400
01:05:53,348 --> 01:05:55,518
[Vince] And-- Oh, arm drag takedown again.

1401
01:05:55,585 --> 01:05:58,821
Wildman Marc-- Uh,
Goldust cowers in the corner.

1402
01:05:58,922 --> 01:06:00,723
[cheers]

1403
01:06:00,790 --> 01:06:03,292
[Ross] Almost had to put it
in reverse there pretty quickly.

1404
01:06:03,359 --> 01:06:06,462
That's hard to do
when you're six-six and weigh 265.

1405
01:06:06,529 --> 01:06:09,832
So that's such a pretty good--
a pretty good adjustment there physically

1406
01:06:09,899 --> 01:06:12,268
-by the man dressed in gold.
-Whoa!

1407
01:06:12,836 --> 01:06:14,971
[crowd chatter]

1408
01:06:16,004 --> 01:06:20,042
[Vince] Goldust taking his time.

1409
01:06:21,877 --> 01:06:26,549
Again, psychological tactics attempting
to being employed by Goldust.

1410
01:06:28,984 --> 01:06:31,788
Talking about psychology,
I guess all the mind games

1411
01:06:31,855 --> 01:06:37,527
will cease and desist once and for all
tonight in the Boiler Room Brawl.

1412
01:06:38,727 --> 01:06:40,230
[Ross] You know, I wanna say it,

1413
01:06:40,296 --> 01:06:42,631
I know we all could concur on this.

1414
01:06:42,698 --> 01:06:46,602
Hello to Ahmed Johnson, who I know
is watching down in Houston, Texas.

1415
01:06:46,669 --> 01:06:48,937
Ahmed, we certainly wish you
a speedy recovery,

1416
01:06:49,004 --> 01:06:51,774
and I can assure you, sir,
we wish you were here.

1417
01:06:52,241 --> 01:06:54,944
[Vince] Indeed. More on
the Intercontinental title situation.

1418
01:06:55,011 --> 01:06:56,578
Then, oh, look at that.

1419
01:06:56,645 --> 01:06:58,515
-All right. One, two, and--
-[Mr. Perfect] He got him.

1420
01:06:58,580 --> 01:06:59,749
[Vince] No, he didn't.

1421
01:06:59,816 --> 01:07:03,886
"Wildman" Marc Mero,
drop toehold driving Goldust down.

1422
01:07:04,620 --> 01:07:07,323
[Ross] That's a smart move
by the Wildman using the drop toehold

1423
01:07:07,390 --> 01:07:09,959
to destroy that vertical base
of the six-six opponent.

1424
01:07:10,460 --> 01:07:11,528
[groans]

1425
01:07:13,730 --> 01:07:15,665
[Vince] And again, Marlena looking on.

1426
01:07:16,466 --> 01:07:18,868
-She's like watching a film of some kind…
-[Ross] Yeah.

1427
01:07:18,968 --> 01:07:20,602
…and not all that exciting one,
I might add.

1428
01:07:20,669 --> 01:07:23,071
[Ross] Really?
Doesn't she ever get excited?

1429
01:07:23,573 --> 01:07:27,477
Certainly, she's a--
she's very composed most of the time.

1430
01:07:27,544 --> 01:07:29,011
[Mr. Perfect] Boy, you're nosy, Ross.

1431
01:07:29,078 --> 01:07:30,346
[Ross] I know it.

1432
01:07:31,548 --> 01:07:33,383
[Vince] Wildman working on the wrist.

1433
01:07:33,448 --> 01:07:34,884
You mentioned Ahmed Johnson,

1434
01:07:36,252 --> 01:07:40,423
a little bit later on
he's scheduled to join us with Faarooq.

1435
01:07:41,790 --> 01:07:44,259
We will then attempt
to get a word with him.

1436
01:07:44,327 --> 01:07:48,564
Right now, Wildman again continuing
to keep Goldust down on the canvas.

1437
01:07:49,165 --> 01:07:52,401
Ahmed, unfortunately,
had to go back into the hospital

1438
01:07:52,468 --> 01:07:56,272
just last week.
His kidney started bleeding again and…

1439
01:07:56,339 --> 01:07:58,473
-[Ross] This was after his surgery.
-[Vince] That's correct.

1440
01:07:58,540 --> 01:08:00,776
[Ross] He had emergency surgery,
went to the hospital and came home,

1441
01:08:00,843 --> 01:08:02,312
and has gone back into the hospital.

1442
01:08:02,377 --> 01:08:05,013
-[Vince] And he's now back home, so…
-[Ross] Yes.

1443
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:08,017
[Vince] Hopefully,
they will not have to take the kidney.

1444
01:08:08,116 --> 01:08:09,384
[Mr. Perfect]
Why don't you guys concentrate

1445
01:08:09,484 --> 01:08:10,763
on the match in the ring right now?

1446
01:08:10,839 --> 01:08:12,922
You think Goldust would like it
if you guys were talking about something

1447
01:08:12,989 --> 01:08:15,158
other than his match
while he's in the ring wrestling?

1448
01:08:15,258 --> 01:08:16,925
Who cares about Ahmed Johnson?
He's not a--

1449
01:08:16,992 --> 01:08:17,993
[Vince] Oh.

1450
01:08:20,563 --> 01:08:22,898
Not a very cheerful attitude
in here, partner, don't you?

1451
01:08:22,965 --> 01:08:24,867
[Mr. Perfect] That's wrestling.
It's a part of it.

1452
01:08:24,934 --> 01:08:26,202
[Vince] It's also life.

1453
01:08:28,804 --> 01:08:33,343
Goldust setting up the Wildman,
out in front, nice reversal.

1454
01:08:33,809 --> 01:08:35,478
And, oh-- Uh-oh, look out.

1455
01:08:36,245 --> 01:08:38,147
Side of the head and Goldust connects.

1456
01:08:38,514 --> 01:08:40,849
Again, here's a little look at the--
some of the athleticism

1457
01:08:40,916 --> 01:08:43,051
that Goldust can display
from time to time.

1458
01:08:45,054 --> 01:08:48,023
Here comes the Wildman,
and look at-- Oh! Oh.

1459
01:08:48,124 --> 01:08:50,660
[Ross] Backdropped all the way
off the top to the floor.

1460
01:08:51,426 --> 01:08:54,130
[Vince] And I thought
the Wildman was gonna land on his head

1461
01:08:54,197 --> 01:08:55,331
for a moment.

1462
01:08:55,865 --> 01:08:57,332
[crowd chatter]

1463
01:08:57,433 --> 01:09:00,269
[Vince] Sable coming over
to help the Wildman

1464
01:09:00,336 --> 01:09:02,170
and encourage him
to get back into the ring.

1465
01:09:02,237 --> 01:09:03,438
[referee] Get back now. Let's go.

1466
01:09:03,505 --> 01:09:05,073
[crowd chatter]

1467
01:09:05,140 --> 01:09:07,410
[Ross] Wildman's got to be back in
before that count of ten,

1468
01:09:07,477 --> 01:09:10,612
-or he'll lose this contest via count-out…
-[referee counting]

1469
01:09:10,712 --> 01:09:13,582
[Ross] …which I think probably
would not make Goldust happy.

1470
01:09:13,649 --> 01:09:16,118
Goldust wants
to leave this match with Sable.

1471
01:09:16,184 --> 01:09:17,819
[Vince] Another look at it. Yes.

1472
01:09:17,886 --> 01:09:19,721
Oh, you're right, J.R. Look at this.

1473
01:09:19,788 --> 01:09:22,591
[Mr. Perfect] Look at his legs.
His legs get caught underneath him there.

1474
01:09:22,658 --> 01:09:24,559
[Sable] Come on, Marc, let's go!

1475
01:09:24,626 --> 01:09:28,296
[Vince] Look out.
Goldust from the far side and-- Oh! Oh!

1476
01:09:29,465 --> 01:09:32,135
-[Ross] Hey, I got something for you.
-[Vince] A double shot,

1477
01:09:32,201 --> 01:09:34,037
one from the back, and then from there,

1478
01:09:34,103 --> 01:09:38,107
right into the face, I think,
right into the retaining barrier.

1479
01:09:38,241 --> 01:09:41,376
Oh, Wildman scooped up.
Oh, dropped again this time, throat first.

1480
01:09:41,443 --> 01:09:42,511
[Mr. Perfect chuckles]

1481
01:09:42,644 --> 01:09:45,782
[crowd chatter]

1482
01:09:45,881 --> 01:09:51,953
-[Sable] Marc, come on!
-[referee] One, two, three, four…

1483
01:09:52,020 --> 01:09:53,322
[Sable] Marc, come on!

1484
01:09:54,023 --> 01:09:56,192
[referee] …five, six--

1485
01:09:56,291 --> 01:09:58,795
[Vince] "Wildman" Marc Mero
back in along with Goldust.

1486
01:09:58,861 --> 01:10:00,596
Here we go. Now, let's listen to this.

1487
01:10:00,663 --> 01:10:02,264
-Come on.
-[grunts]

1488
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:06,202
[Mr. Perfect] You know,
I wonder if Goldust wins this matchup,

1489
01:10:06,269 --> 01:10:07,970
if Sable will just leave with Goldust.

1490
01:10:08,037 --> 01:10:09,172
[Vince] I don't think so.

1491
01:10:09,237 --> 01:10:12,241
I think Sable doesn't really wanna have
anything at all to do with Goldust.

1492
01:10:12,308 --> 01:10:14,177
Off the rope and a clothesline.

1493
01:10:15,912 --> 01:10:17,746
A cover. We have one, two, and--

1494
01:10:17,813 --> 01:10:19,549
[Ross] Hey, wait. Oh my God.

1495
01:10:19,615 --> 01:10:21,250
-Oh my…
-[Vince] Wait a minute, wait a minute.

1496
01:10:21,317 --> 01:10:22,919
-[Ross] …Mankind.
-[Vince] Yes.

1497
01:10:22,985 --> 01:10:24,587
[Ross] He's out of the boiler room.

1498
01:10:24,654 --> 01:10:28,124
[Vince] Mankind has come out
of the boiler boom where he was,

1499
01:10:28,191 --> 01:10:30,126
and this spells trouble.

1500
01:10:30,593 --> 01:10:32,528
-[screams]
-[Vince] Yes. Look at this.

1501
01:10:32,595 --> 01:10:35,098
Mommy? Unbelievable.

1502
01:10:35,164 --> 01:10:38,968
"Wildman" Marc Mero, if he sees this,
this no doubt will be distracting.

1503
01:10:39,068 --> 01:10:40,635
[Sable whimpers] Oh my God.

1504
01:10:40,702 --> 01:10:42,739
[Vince] Mankind stalking Sable.

1505
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:45,974
[Ross] Mankind thinks Sable's his mommy.

1506
01:10:46,041 --> 01:10:47,977
-[Mankind] I've been waiting for you.
-[screams]

1507
01:10:48,044 --> 01:10:49,712
[Mankind] I've been waiting for you.

1508
01:10:49,779 --> 01:10:51,447
[Vince] That horrible creature.

1509
01:10:52,415 --> 01:10:54,083
[Sable whimpers] No! No!

1510
01:10:54,717 --> 01:10:55,885
No!

1511
01:10:56,986 --> 01:10:59,489
[Vince] Sable is terrified of Mankind,

1512
01:10:59,554 --> 01:11:01,958
as you would suspect any woman might be.

1513
01:11:02,023 --> 01:11:03,826
And there he goes, just like that.

1514
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:06,763
Nonetheless, he certainly had
his effect on Sable.

1515
01:11:06,829 --> 01:11:09,432
Mankind running out of the arena now.

1516
01:11:10,867 --> 01:11:13,803
-[Mr. Perfect] I think he kinda likes her.
-[Sable] Marc, come on, let's go!

1517
01:11:13,903 --> 01:11:15,571
[Ross] What makes you think that?

1518
01:11:16,505 --> 01:11:18,141
[Mr. Perfect] I don't know, a hunch.

1519
01:11:22,144 --> 01:11:25,181
[Vince] And, guys, again,
look at the expression on Marlena's face.

1520
01:11:25,248 --> 01:11:26,715
Nothing bothers her.

1521
01:11:27,282 --> 01:11:29,652
Mankind, I don't think he'd bother her.

1522
01:11:29,719 --> 01:11:32,655
[crowd cheering]

1523
01:11:32,789 --> 01:11:35,724
[Ross] And so, Mankind's probably headed
back to the boiler room.

1524
01:11:35,791 --> 01:11:37,593
Mankind and The Undertaker had,

1525
01:11:38,361 --> 01:11:43,099
I don't know, the most bizarre matchup
I've ever thought about.

1526
01:11:43,166 --> 01:11:45,568
[Vince] And catching a knee
in the midsection.

1527
01:11:46,068 --> 01:11:49,839
"Wildman" Marc Mero, a cover here.
We have a count, two.

1528
01:11:49,906 --> 01:11:50,907
No.

1529
01:11:51,407 --> 01:11:55,278
And maybe things could settle down a bit
for the "Wildman" Marc Mero.

1530
01:11:56,978 --> 01:11:59,882
[Ross] Goldust has settled
in that very deliberate pace,

1531
01:12:00,249 --> 01:12:01,818
not taking too many chances.

1532
01:12:03,019 --> 01:12:07,190
Mero definitely has the speed advantage,
but can't tell it right now.

1533
01:12:07,290 --> 01:12:08,691
[Vince] Right in the ribs.

1534
01:12:08,758 --> 01:12:10,393
[crowd chatter]

1535
01:12:13,062 --> 01:12:17,300
[Vince] "Wildman" Marc Mero,
who takes tremendous chances

1536
01:12:17,366 --> 01:12:18,367
given the opportunity,

1537
01:12:18,467 --> 01:12:21,571
but Goldust has basically
grounded the Wildman.

1538
01:12:24,473 --> 01:12:27,043
Wildman set for the ride and--
No, not this time.

1539
01:12:27,108 --> 01:12:28,311
Up on top.

1540
01:12:29,245 --> 01:12:30,679
Now, that was risky.

1541
01:12:31,414 --> 01:12:34,884
He had no idea Goldust was really
gonna be moving in behind him.

1542
01:12:34,951 --> 01:12:37,920
Sort of a timing type thing,
nonetheless, successful.

1543
01:12:38,019 --> 01:12:40,889
Maybe that could change
the tide of the matchup a bit.

1544
01:12:40,956 --> 01:12:42,724
[Ross] Goldust up very quickly though.

1545
01:12:42,791 --> 01:12:45,628
[Vince] And Wildman with a right hand
in the bread basket.

1546
01:12:45,695 --> 01:12:46,963
Another one.

1547
01:12:47,263 --> 01:12:51,400
Marc Mero on his feet,
underneath the roundhouse of Goldust,

1548
01:12:51,467 --> 01:12:52,635
driving the knee.

1549
01:12:53,135 --> 01:12:56,973
Not so sure he caught
more of a thigh than a--

1550
01:12:57,039 --> 01:12:59,809
[Mr. Perfect] Well, here's-- this is
more Mero style right here with the fist.

1551
01:12:59,876 --> 01:13:02,178
[Vince] Fisticuffs, yes.
Oh, and a clothesline.

1552
01:13:04,513 --> 01:13:08,784
[Ross] Pace quickens, speeds up
a little bit, advantage Wildman.

1553
01:13:08,851 --> 01:13:10,853
[Vince] All right.
Goldust now, off the rope

1554
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:13,389
and back body drop nicely executed.

1555
01:13:14,223 --> 01:13:16,858
And again,
"Wildman" Marc Mero picking up momentum.

1556
01:13:16,925 --> 01:13:19,595
Goldust set up again to the midsection,

1557
01:13:19,661 --> 01:13:22,999
Wildman and-- Oh, big knee lift. [laughs]

1558
01:13:23,766 --> 01:13:25,166
"Wildman" Marc Mero now,

1559
01:13:25,233 --> 01:13:27,904
with an opportunity perhaps
to put this one away.

1560
01:13:27,970 --> 01:13:30,973
Goldust staying close to the corner.

1561
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:33,142
Goldust on his feet, maybe not for long,

1562
01:13:33,242 --> 01:13:35,978
as the Wildman now climbs up
right there on top of him.

1563
01:13:37,045 --> 01:13:40,249
-[crowd] One, two, three, four, five--
-One, two--

1564
01:13:40,316 --> 01:13:42,418
[Vince] This capacity crowd counting
with the Wildman,

1565
01:13:42,485 --> 01:13:44,420
but wait a minute, what's this?

1566
01:13:45,288 --> 01:13:48,124
Oh no! What was that?

1567
01:13:48,190 --> 01:13:49,825
He simply dumped Wildman,

1568
01:13:49,892 --> 01:13:52,295
and "Wildman" Marc Mero's
right back in the ring.

1569
01:13:52,894 --> 01:13:54,530
I can't believe that.

1570
01:13:54,597 --> 01:13:56,098
[Ross] Uh-oh. Watch this.

1571
01:13:57,099 --> 01:13:58,401
[Vince] And-- Oh!

1572
01:13:58,467 --> 01:14:00,236
[crowd cheering]

1573
01:14:00,369 --> 01:14:02,304
[Vince] Right across Goldust.

1574
01:14:02,371 --> 01:14:05,474
"Wildman" Marc Mero
taking his chances now,

1575
01:14:05,541 --> 01:14:08,010
and his chances are paying off, thus far.

1576
01:14:08,077 --> 01:14:09,445
Goldust back in the ring.

1577
01:14:09,512 --> 01:14:11,647
Wildman now, what's he gonna do?

1578
01:14:12,882 --> 01:14:14,383
[Mr. Perfect] Another high-risk maneuver.

1579
01:14:14,450 --> 01:14:16,786
[Vince] Here he comes and-- Oh!

1580
01:14:17,620 --> 01:14:19,155
[Ross] Quite the leg drop right there.

1581
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:22,558
[Vince] What athleticism
on the part of "Wildman" Marc Mero.

1582
01:14:22,625 --> 01:14:24,894
Goldust scooped up by the Wildman,

1583
01:14:24,961 --> 01:14:27,897
slammed down on the canvas,
and that's a big slam.

1584
01:14:28,331 --> 01:14:32,034
Big man in the part of Goldust.
Uh-oh, here we go, to the outside.

1585
01:14:32,101 --> 01:14:33,635
This might do it for the Wildman.

1586
01:14:33,702 --> 01:14:35,371
[Ross] This may be the move
he was telling me about.

1587
01:14:35,438 --> 01:14:36,739
-He calls it--
-[Vince] Wildman going up--

1588
01:14:36,806 --> 01:14:39,541
Wait a minute,
Marlena on the opposite side.

1589
01:14:39,642 --> 01:14:43,045
Marlena on the ring area
and "Wildman" Marc Mero--

1590
01:14:43,112 --> 01:14:45,447
[Mr. Perfect] Oh, what a move!

1591
01:14:45,514 --> 01:14:46,749
[Ross] What was that?

1592
01:14:46,816 --> 01:14:48,284
[crowd cheering]

1593
01:14:48,351 --> 01:14:49,952
[Ross] Some call it
the Shooting Star Press.

1594
01:14:50,019 --> 01:14:52,822
-It's the Wild Thing. It's over.
-[Vince] One, two, and he got him.

1595
01:14:52,922 --> 01:14:54,557
[Mr. Perfect] No, he didn't.

1596
01:14:55,023 --> 01:14:57,293
What a move by Marc Mero.

1597
01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:01,197
[Ross] Well, I'll tell you something,
Marlena has just kept Goldust in this one.

1598
01:15:01,263 --> 01:15:04,133
[Vince] Marlena-- Oh my goodness.
Elbow there by Goldust.

1599
01:15:05,166 --> 01:15:07,068
Wildman-- Yes, there it is.

1600
01:15:07,135 --> 01:15:10,306
Now for the cover.
One, two, and he got-- No.

1601
01:15:10,373 --> 01:15:11,907
[Mr. Perfect] Oh, man, that was close.

1602
01:15:12,608 --> 01:15:14,809
[Vince] Again, another look at this.

1603
01:15:14,876 --> 01:15:16,911
I've never seen anything like that.

1604
01:15:16,978 --> 01:15:19,048
-[Mr. Perfect] Wow.
-[Vince] Unbelievable.

1605
01:15:19,281 --> 01:15:22,718
"Wildman" Marc Mero,
you talk about taking chances,

1606
01:15:22,785 --> 01:15:26,589
driving his body into that of Goldust,
and had it not been for Marlena,

1607
01:15:26,688 --> 01:15:28,958
-you would've counted who knows what?
-[Mr. Perfect] You know what, McMahon?

1608
01:15:29,025 --> 01:15:30,960
I, myself, gotta give him a ten
on that one.

1609
01:15:31,027 --> 01:15:32,894
Here we go, Curtain Call.

1610
01:15:33,429 --> 01:15:36,264
[Vince] "Wildman" Marc Mero
in the clutches of Goldust.

1611
01:15:36,331 --> 01:15:38,733
He goes up and-- Oh my.

1612
01:15:39,402 --> 01:15:40,736
[Mr. Perfect] That was also a ten.

1613
01:15:40,803 --> 01:15:42,471
[Vince] A cover, a count,

1614
01:15:42,538 --> 01:15:44,607
-and a victory for Goldust.
-[bell ringing]

1615
01:15:44,673 --> 01:15:46,308
["Gold-Lust" playing]

1616
01:15:46,375 --> 01:15:48,077
-[Howard] Here is your winner…
-[Vince] Nonetheless,

1617
01:15:48,144 --> 01:15:50,646
-a hard-fought matchup…
-[Howard] …Goldust!

1618
01:15:50,713 --> 01:15:53,816
[Vince] …between "Wildman" Marc Mero
and Goldust.

1619
01:15:53,883 --> 01:15:56,318
[Ross] That's really unfortunate
for Mero. A great effort

1620
01:15:56,419 --> 01:15:59,655
and a beautiful Wild Thing,
that Shooting Star Press,

1621
01:15:59,722 --> 01:16:02,892
but Marlena saved Goldust's hide
that time.

1622
01:16:03,793 --> 01:16:05,094
[Vince] Indeed, she did.

1623
01:16:06,195 --> 01:16:07,396
And Sable…

1624
01:16:08,597 --> 01:16:11,267
[Ross] And Mankind coming out here
didn't help matters either,

1625
01:16:11,333 --> 01:16:13,102
-quite frankly.
-[Mr. Perfect] I'm sure.

1626
01:16:13,602 --> 01:16:16,705
[Vince] Sable trying
to encourage the "Wildman" Marc Mero.

1627
01:16:16,772 --> 01:16:17,873
[Mr. Perfect] Uh-oh.

1628
01:16:17,973 --> 01:16:19,809
[Vince] There'll be another day,
ladies and gentlemen,

1629
01:16:19,875 --> 01:16:21,477
for the Wildman,
there's no doubt about it.

1630
01:16:21,577 --> 01:16:23,545
[Ross] Goldust's like a vulture, circling.

1631
01:16:23,846 --> 01:16:25,880
-[Vince] Wait, wait, just a moment.
-[Mr. Perfect] Look at this.

1632
01:16:28,349 --> 01:16:30,019
[Vince] Hey, wait just a moment.

1633
01:16:31,187 --> 01:16:32,987
[crowd chatter]

1634
01:16:33,856 --> 01:16:34,924
No.

1635
01:16:36,291 --> 01:16:38,461
[Vince] Right in front of the Wildman?

1636
01:16:38,561 --> 01:16:40,429
-[crowd chatter]
-Stop. Damn it.

1637
01:16:40,563 --> 01:16:42,865
Leave her alone.
Come on. The match is over.

1638
01:16:43,532 --> 01:16:45,233
[screams]

1639
01:16:45,367 --> 01:16:46,501
Get away from me.

1640
01:16:46,568 --> 01:16:49,505
Marc! Marc! [screams]

1641
01:16:49,572 --> 01:16:52,875
[overlapping chatter]

1642
01:16:52,942 --> 01:16:54,510
[Vince] How disgusting!

1643
01:16:55,678 --> 01:16:57,313
-[Sable screaming]
-[Vince] Yeah. Come on!

1644
01:16:57,379 --> 01:16:59,648
[crowd cheering]

1645
01:17:00,148 --> 01:17:02,017
[Vince] "Wildman" Marc Mero,

1646
01:17:03,751 --> 01:17:05,521
hammering away on Goldust.

1647
01:17:07,456 --> 01:17:08,924
This match is over. Get out.

1648
01:17:08,991 --> 01:17:12,995
[Vince] Goldust, obviously,
showing his affection-- Uh-oh.

1649
01:17:14,330 --> 01:17:16,799
[Ross] Well, that'll change
his temperament there.

1650
01:17:16,866 --> 01:17:19,635
[Vince] Look out,
the Wildman with a dropkick.

1651
01:17:19,702 --> 01:17:21,303
[crowd chatter]

1652
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:27,209
[indistinct chatter]

1653
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:32,648
[Vince] Now, look at this. Unbelievable.

1654
01:17:34,950 --> 01:17:37,887
"Wildman" Marc Mero trying
to teach Goldust a lesson.

1655
01:17:38,587 --> 01:17:40,322
And Goldust taking off.

1656
01:17:40,389 --> 01:17:43,224
[crowd chatter]

1657
01:17:43,291 --> 01:17:46,962
[Ross] Poor Sable, it just--
What a shocking night this has been.

1658
01:17:47,029 --> 01:17:49,498
First, Mankind, and then Goldust.

1659
01:17:49,598 --> 01:17:51,433
[Mr. Perfect] I think
Mero would be a lot better off

1660
01:17:51,500 --> 01:17:53,068
leaving his old lady
at home where she belongs.

1661
01:17:53,135 --> 01:17:54,670
[Vince] All right. Come on.
Let's be nice, please.

1662
01:17:54,769 --> 01:17:56,639
-[Ross] Yeah, come on.
-[Vince] Have a little class.

1663
01:17:58,674 --> 01:18:01,343
Let's take you now, ladies and gentlemen,
and show you some of the events.

1664
01:18:01,410 --> 01:18:02,878
We mentioned Ahmed Johnson earlier on.

1665
01:18:02,945 --> 01:18:05,714
Some of the events that led that up
to the unfortunate kidney injury

1666
01:18:05,781 --> 01:18:09,818
of Ahmed Johnson at the hands
of the individual known as Faarooq.

1667
01:18:09,885 --> 01:18:11,019
Let's take a look.

1668
01:18:11,987 --> 01:18:14,123
You know what?
I can always ignore the physical pain.

1669
01:18:14,190 --> 01:18:17,126
This isn't the first time
I've been in physical pain.

1670
01:18:17,593 --> 01:18:20,396
It's more the mental pain
that's playing the game with me right now.

1671
01:18:20,462 --> 01:18:24,400
The mental pain hurts worse than anything
in my life right now, the mental pain.

1672
01:18:24,465 --> 01:18:26,969
[Sean] Ahmed's pain started
nearly four weeks ago

1673
01:18:27,036 --> 01:18:30,739
when he suffered a ruptured kidney
in this attack by Faarooq Asad.

1674
01:18:30,806 --> 01:18:33,541
The injury was further aggravated
two weeks later

1675
01:18:33,608 --> 01:18:36,111
when against doctors' orders,
Ahmed competed

1676
01:18:36,178 --> 01:18:38,581
in the Raw Invitational Battle Royal.

1677
01:18:39,148 --> 01:18:43,018
It was one of the most extraordinary
displays of courage we had ever seen,

1678
01:18:43,085 --> 01:18:47,089
Ahmed ignoring the pain
to earn his first WWE title shot.

1679
01:18:47,556 --> 01:18:49,191
[Ross] Ahmed Johnson has won it!

1680
01:18:49,258 --> 01:18:52,094
Ahmed has won this Battle Royal!

1681
01:18:52,161 --> 01:18:54,362
[Sean]
But his glory soon turned to tragedy.

1682
01:18:54,429 --> 01:18:58,233
Faarooq, once again, attacking
the injured and exhausted Ahmed.

1683
01:18:58,300 --> 01:19:01,536
The severity of Ahmed's condition
was not completely realized

1684
01:19:01,603 --> 01:19:03,205
until almost a week later

1685
01:19:03,272 --> 01:19:06,407
when Ahmed was rushed
to the hospital for emergency surgery.

1686
01:19:06,474 --> 01:19:08,544
Internal bleeding
from that ruptured kidney

1687
01:19:08,611 --> 01:19:11,013
was actually endangering his life.

1688
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:13,215
The surgery was thankfully a success,

1689
01:19:13,282 --> 01:19:15,184
but the future of one
of the most promising

1690
01:19:15,251 --> 01:19:18,219
young WWE Superstars remains in doubt.

1691
01:19:18,286 --> 01:19:20,422
Ahmed is out at least temporarily,

1692
01:19:20,489 --> 01:19:23,626
forcing Gorilla Monsoon
to make a tough decision.

1693
01:19:23,726 --> 01:19:26,695
I'm left with no alternative but to say

1694
01:19:26,762 --> 01:19:31,333
that the Intercontinental Championship
right now is vacant.

1695
01:19:32,201 --> 01:19:34,769
I understand
that this is the people's belt.

1696
01:19:34,837 --> 01:19:37,806
This is the WWE
Intercontinental people's title,

1697
01:19:38,641 --> 01:19:41,343
and I understand that to hold that title,

1698
01:19:41,410 --> 01:19:43,679
you have to defend it
night after night after night,

1699
01:19:43,746 --> 01:19:45,681
in order to be able to keep that title.

1700
01:19:45,748 --> 01:19:47,349
I understand
I'm not able to do that right now,

1701
01:19:47,449 --> 01:19:49,318
and I understand
Gorilla Monsoon's decision.

1702
01:19:49,385 --> 01:19:50,818
I understand it totally,

1703
01:19:50,885 --> 01:19:53,489
and I have no business
against him or the Entertainment.

1704
01:19:53,989 --> 01:19:56,358
[Sean] Gorilla Monsoon has announced
there will be an eight-man

1705
01:19:56,425 --> 01:19:59,695
Intercontinental title tournament
beginning tomorrow night live on Raw.

1706
01:19:59,762 --> 01:20:01,929
But for Ahmed Johnson, the question is,

1707
01:20:01,996 --> 01:20:05,166
will he ever be able
to return to wrestling?

1708
01:20:06,302 --> 01:20:08,536
If the bleeding is stopped,

1709
01:20:08,603 --> 01:20:11,907
he may return
in about three or four months.

1710
01:20:12,407 --> 01:20:14,476
If we can't get the bleeding to stop,

1711
01:20:14,543 --> 01:20:17,246
we have to go in and take his kidney out,

1712
01:20:17,313 --> 01:20:19,615
which means
he won't be able to come back at all.

1713
01:20:19,682 --> 01:20:21,784
I don't care what the doctors say to me.

1714
01:20:21,849 --> 01:20:23,919
What the doctors say to me means nothing.

1715
01:20:24,385 --> 01:20:26,554
Ahmed Johnson's gonna do
what he wants to do

1716
01:20:26,621 --> 01:20:28,691
and what his fans want him to do.

1717
01:20:28,791 --> 01:20:31,260
I got a commitment
to the fans, to the people,

1718
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:33,062
and I'm gonna do whatever it takes

1719
01:20:33,896 --> 01:20:37,232
and however long it takes
to get the job done.

1720
01:20:38,099 --> 01:20:39,934
[Sean] As for the WWE title shot

1721
01:20:40,035 --> 01:20:41,969
Ahmed had earned
by winning the Battle Royal,

1722
01:20:42,071 --> 01:20:44,840
Monsoon has decided
that the last four men in the ring,

1723
01:20:44,907 --> 01:20:48,644
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Goldust,
Savio Vega, and Sycho Sid,

1724
01:20:48,710 --> 01:20:51,612
will all take part
in a Sudden Death Battle Royal,

1725
01:20:51,679 --> 01:20:53,382
live tomorrow night on Raw.

1726
01:20:53,449 --> 01:20:58,019
The winner gets the automatic
WWE title shot on Raw Championship Friday,

1727
01:20:58,087 --> 01:21:01,255
a special edition of Raw on September 6th.

1728
01:21:01,322 --> 01:21:03,791
Ahmed Johnson will be watching
from home that night,

1729
01:21:03,858 --> 01:21:08,030
watching someone else get
his WWE title shot.

1730
01:21:08,130 --> 01:21:12,401
I hold no one at fault
for what happened to me but myself.

1731
01:21:13,969 --> 01:21:17,438
And me and my fans, we will defend

1732
01:21:18,574 --> 01:21:23,512
our honor and our pride once again,
hopefully, real soon.

1733
01:21:24,780 --> 01:21:27,750
[Howard] Ladies and gentlemen
along with his manager Sunny,

1734
01:21:27,816 --> 01:21:30,419
please welcome Faarooq.

1735
01:21:30,486 --> 01:21:32,987
[dramatic music playing]

1736
01:21:37,659 --> 01:21:40,728
[Vince] Yes, here comes Sunny,
along with the man who did

1737
01:21:40,795 --> 01:21:45,934
the unfortunate damage to Ahmed, Faarooq.

1738
01:21:48,337 --> 01:21:51,005
[Ross] He is a bad man,
as the old expression goes.

1739
01:21:51,540 --> 01:21:53,742
[Vince] Has no remorse whatsoever
for what he did.

1740
01:21:53,809 --> 01:21:56,549
[Ross] None. Absolutely none,
very proud of his actions.

1741
01:21:56,624 --> 01:21:58,246
[Vince] And yet, I don't know
that you would necessarily

1742
01:21:58,313 --> 01:21:59,615
concur with that department.

1743
01:21:59,681 --> 01:22:02,050
Again, being one
of the greatest Intercontinental Champions

1744
01:22:02,117 --> 01:22:05,053
to ever wear the WWE title.

1745
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:06,922
And look at this capacity crowd.

1746
01:22:07,523 --> 01:22:09,590
It's one thing to fight
for the championship.

1747
01:22:09,657 --> 01:22:12,628
It's quite another to try
and put someone else

1748
01:22:12,693 --> 01:22:16,331
out of the game that
they so very much love, is it not?

1749
01:22:16,398 --> 01:22:17,766
[Mr. Perfect]
Well, it certainly is, McMahon.

1750
01:22:17,833 --> 01:22:20,202
You know, I'll tell you what,
being an Intercontinental Champion,

1751
01:22:20,268 --> 01:22:23,138
you got to wrestle all the top competitors
here in World Wrestling Entertainment,

1752
01:22:23,205 --> 01:22:25,107
if they get hurt along the way it happens,

1753
01:22:25,174 --> 01:22:27,409
you know, I can't help
what happens to other people,

1754
01:22:27,509 --> 01:22:29,010
I always look out for myself.

1755
01:22:29,077 --> 01:22:30,478
[crowd chatter]

1756
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:36,318
[Todd] Faarooq, I guess,
the first question is, very simple.

1757
01:22:38,587 --> 01:22:41,123
The first question is--
what do you mean with the first--

1758
01:22:41,190 --> 01:22:43,192
that's the first mistake you've made.

1759
01:22:43,258 --> 01:22:45,527
You don't ask the questions here, I do.

1760
01:22:45,594 --> 01:22:48,996
And the question is,
why isn't Gorilla Monsoon out here now

1761
01:22:49,063 --> 01:22:52,733
handing me what you and he
and everybody else knows is mine?

1762
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:55,099
And that's the World Wrestling
Entertainment Intercontinental title.

1763
01:22:55,199 --> 01:22:56,572
-Where is it?
-[Ross] He has a good point.

1764
01:22:56,638 --> 01:22:58,005
Why isn't it he here now doing that?

1765
01:22:58,072 --> 01:22:59,407
Huh? Answer that.

1766
01:23:00,209 --> 01:23:03,411
Well, I think Gorilla Monsoon said
he didn't want the criminal

1767
01:23:03,478 --> 01:23:06,482
to benefit from the crime and obviously…

1768
01:23:06,548 --> 01:23:09,351
-[Vince] So to speak.
-…as you know, he has ordered

1769
01:23:09,418 --> 01:23:13,255
an Intercontinental title tournament
to begin tomorrow night on Raw.

1770
01:23:13,688 --> 01:23:16,458
Ordered? What do I--
do I look like a waiter to you?

1771
01:23:16,525 --> 01:23:19,193
Nobody orders Faarooq Asad around, okay?

1772
01:23:19,260 --> 01:23:21,129
Let me tell you something,
deal is dead.

1773
01:23:21,196 --> 01:23:24,700
I should be the Intercontinental Champion
right now, all right?

1774
01:23:24,900 --> 01:23:27,768
I should be the Intercontinental Champion,
no one else.

1775
01:23:27,835 --> 01:23:29,638
The tournament runs through me.

1776
01:23:29,705 --> 01:23:32,674
I, Faarooq Asad,
not three or four other people,

1777
01:23:32,741 --> 01:23:35,878
put Ahmed, that punk, Johnson out, okay?

1778
01:23:35,943 --> 01:23:39,681
And let me tell you another thing,
if that's the best you've got here,

1779
01:23:39,748 --> 01:23:42,684
I see a lot of sunny days ahead for us.

1780
01:23:43,719 --> 01:23:46,788
Let me tell you something, Todd,
it's real simple.

1781
01:23:47,389 --> 01:23:51,026
This right here
is what a real man is all about.

1782
01:23:51,793 --> 01:23:57,165
This right here is my special
little modern-day gladiator.

1783
01:23:57,833 --> 01:24:00,902
And Ahmed Johnson-- poor Ahmed,

1784
01:24:00,969 --> 01:24:03,938
tried to stand in his way
and look what happened.

1785
01:24:04,005 --> 01:24:08,210
So, Gorilla Monsoon,
have your little tournament, honey,

1786
01:24:08,710 --> 01:24:11,980
ring that bell,
because ladies and gentlemen,

1787
01:24:12,947 --> 01:24:15,183
I give you right now the next

1788
01:24:15,250 --> 01:24:19,087
World Wrestling Entertainment
Intercontinental Champion,

1789
01:24:19,521 --> 01:24:21,089
Faarooq Asad.

1790
01:24:21,657 --> 01:24:26,094
And remember,
what Sunny wants, Sunny gets.

1791
01:24:26,929 --> 01:24:30,799
And, Todd, baby, I want the gold.

1792
01:24:32,233 --> 01:24:33,335
[Vince] No doubt about it.

1793
01:24:33,602 --> 01:24:35,504
[dramatic music playing]

1794
01:24:35,571 --> 01:24:39,441
[Vince] Not a happy decision
if you're Faarooq Asad or Sunny.

1795
01:24:40,375 --> 01:24:44,746
[Ross] One thing we can't take away
from the man, awesome, awesome athlete.

1796
01:24:44,813 --> 01:24:46,281
[Vince] Yes, that's for sure.

1797
01:24:49,318 --> 01:24:50,986
[inaudible]

1798
01:24:51,519 --> 01:24:55,290
[Vince] All right. Ladies and gentlemen,
Jake "The Snake" Roberts

1799
01:24:55,624 --> 01:24:58,826
squaring off against
Jerry "the King" Lawler.

1800
01:24:59,161 --> 01:25:02,731
The matchup coming right here
at SummerSlam '96.

1801
01:25:02,798 --> 01:25:04,633
Yes, in the Gund Arena.

1802
01:25:04,866 --> 01:25:07,268
We take you now
to this very special footage

1803
01:25:07,335 --> 01:25:09,071
involving both individuals.

1804
01:25:09,137 --> 01:25:11,406
Anytime you become
an addict or an alcoholic,

1805
01:25:12,574 --> 01:25:14,876
there's so much shame and guilt involved.

1806
01:25:14,943 --> 01:25:17,346
He had a problem and he drank it. [laughs]

1807
01:25:17,411 --> 01:25:20,949
But the bottom line for me was,
is whenever I got to a point

1808
01:25:21,016 --> 01:25:24,753
that I didn't wanna live anymore,
when I wanted to die.

1809
01:25:24,820 --> 01:25:27,356
You know, when most people get drunk,
they see snakes,

1810
01:25:27,422 --> 01:25:30,192
but when snakes get drunk,
they see Jake Roberts.

1811
01:25:30,759 --> 01:25:35,664
My hope is, is that, uh, I'll be able
to help some of the younger athletes.

1812
01:25:36,732 --> 01:25:39,901
Where they don't have to make
the same mistakes that Jake Roberts made.

1813
01:25:40,001 --> 01:25:42,103
People like you are supposed
to turn the other cheek, right?

1814
01:25:42,170 --> 01:25:43,405
-Yeah.
-Let see if you

1815
01:25:43,472 --> 01:25:44,840
-turn the other--
-Hey.

1816
01:25:44,906 --> 01:25:48,977
You see what I believe in,
is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

1817
01:25:49,710 --> 01:25:51,279
[Ross] Aldo doesn't even drink.

1818
01:25:51,346 --> 01:25:53,048
-Smell the--
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh.

1819
01:25:53,648 --> 01:25:56,785
Jerry "the King" Lawler,
raveling in his victory.

1820
01:25:56,852 --> 01:25:58,387
One thing I promise you,

1821
01:25:59,121 --> 01:26:01,223
this week, you'll be reaching out, saying,

1822
01:26:01,289 --> 01:26:03,258
"God, please help Jake get off of me.

1823
01:26:03,325 --> 01:26:06,094
Jake, please don't put that snake on me.
God help me."

1824
01:26:07,529 --> 01:26:09,197
Ain't nobody gonna help you.

1825
01:26:09,464 --> 01:26:11,032
You're gonna pay the price.

1826
01:26:11,779 --> 01:26:13,404
-[Mr. Perfect chuckles]
-[Howard] Ladies and gentlemen…

1827
01:26:13,468 --> 01:26:15,202
-[Vince] What so funny?
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh, King.

1828
01:26:15,437 --> 01:26:17,272
-I like Jerry "the King".
-[Howard] …I'd like to introduce

1829
01:26:17,339 --> 01:26:19,641
the newest member
of the World Wrestling Entertainment.

1830
01:26:19,875 --> 01:26:23,779
Fresh from representing
the United States of America

1831
01:26:23,844 --> 01:26:26,915
at the 1996 Summer Olympics,

1832
01:26:27,182 --> 01:26:34,156
please welcome
"The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry.

1833
01:26:35,490 --> 01:26:37,793
-[Mr. Perfect] What is this?
-[Vince] Here he comes.

1834
01:26:37,858 --> 01:26:39,695
-[Mr. Perfect] What's with this?
-[Vince] Mark Henry.

1835
01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:41,797
[Mr. Perfect] Imagine this guy
getting a better-- bigger introduction

1836
01:26:41,862 --> 01:26:43,331
than Mr. Perfect today?
What's going on here?

1837
01:26:43,398 --> 01:26:45,367
[Vince] He's a big one,
no doubt about that.

1838
01:26:46,101 --> 01:26:48,737
[Ross] You didn't go to the Olympics,
you didn't represent our country.

1839
01:26:48,804 --> 01:26:50,405
[Mr. Perfect] I could've if I wanted to.

1840
01:26:50,472 --> 01:26:52,874
[Vince] And you certainly
never achieved this title

1841
01:26:52,941 --> 01:26:55,744
as being the strongest man in the world.

1842
01:26:55,811 --> 01:26:59,514
Mark Henry, ladies and gentlemen,
who soon will be in the ring, all right.

1843
01:26:59,815 --> 01:27:01,516
-[explosions]
-By WWE prospect tonight.

1844
01:27:01,817 --> 01:27:03,251
Well, yeah, here we go.

1845
01:27:03,585 --> 01:27:05,587
The fireworks exploding

1846
01:27:06,288 --> 01:27:09,891
for this Olympian who gave it his all.

1847
01:27:09,958 --> 01:27:12,661
[Mr. Perfect] Mark-- forget it.

1848
01:27:13,661 --> 01:27:15,731
[Vince] Let's put a headset
on him over here.

1849
01:27:17,465 --> 01:27:19,267
-[Ross] Hey, big man.
-How you doing?

1850
01:27:19,934 --> 01:27:22,170
-How are you doing?
-How are you doing?

1851
01:27:22,237 --> 01:27:23,538
-Have a seat.
-Hey.

1852
01:27:23,605 --> 01:27:25,440
-[Vince] Have a seat.
-[Ross] Wow.

1853
01:27:27,041 --> 01:27:28,477
It's like putting your hand
on a catcher's mitt.

1854
01:27:28,543 --> 01:27:30,312
How about putting that headset on there

1855
01:27:30,378 --> 01:27:32,748
and come in and join us
for some commentary?

1856
01:27:33,315 --> 01:27:34,816
There you go, Mark.

1857
01:27:34,883 --> 01:27:37,518
What's the deal?
You can't even say hi to me over here?

1858
01:27:37,585 --> 01:27:39,349
Just roll that microphone down
a little bit.

1859
01:27:39,425 --> 01:27:41,089
-[Ross] There you go.
-[Mr. Perfect] You know, just because

1860
01:27:41,156 --> 01:27:43,157
you're The World's Strongest Man
doesn't mean you can walk in

1861
01:27:43,224 --> 01:27:45,227
to the World Wrestling Entertainment
and take it by--

1862
01:27:45,293 --> 01:27:47,329
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Okay. There you are.

1863
01:27:47,394 --> 01:27:49,331
Give him a good, firm handshake.

1864
01:27:49,397 --> 01:27:51,166
[Mr. Perfect] All right. All right.

1865
01:27:52,300 --> 01:27:54,503
Okay. And have a seat.

1866
01:27:55,237 --> 01:27:58,072
Mark Henry, ladies and gentlemen.
And, uh, well…

1867
01:27:58,507 --> 01:28:00,608
[Howard]
This contest is scheduled for one fall.

1868
01:28:00,675 --> 01:28:01,910
[Vince] Here comes the King.

1869
01:28:01,977 --> 01:28:04,045
[Howard] Coming down the aisle,
from Memphis, Tennessee…

1870
01:28:04,112 --> 01:28:05,847
[Vince] Now, Mark Henry
knows all about the King.

1871
01:28:05,914 --> 01:28:08,450
As a matter of fact,
I think it was San Antonio, Texas,

1872
01:28:08,517 --> 01:28:11,052
and all of a sudden,
you found the King above your head.

1873
01:28:11,119 --> 01:28:14,656
[Mark] Yeah. Well, he decided that he has
something bad to say to me at the moment.

1874
01:28:14,723 --> 01:28:16,558
-[Vince] Yeah.
-[Mark] And we can't have that.

1875
01:28:16,625 --> 01:28:17,626
[Vince] Oh, he regretted it.

1876
01:28:17,692 --> 01:28:19,728
He's had a lot of bad things to say
about Jake "The Snake" Roberts,

1877
01:28:19,795 --> 01:28:20,795
I can tell you that.

1878
01:28:20,862 --> 01:28:22,340
[Ross] And what does Lawler
have in that bag? What's--

1879
01:28:22,422 --> 01:28:23,822
[Mark] So I gotta represent.

1880
01:28:24,532 --> 01:28:25,867
[Vince] Yes. Exactly.

1881
01:28:27,001 --> 01:28:28,670
That's very similar to the bag

1882
01:28:28,737 --> 01:28:31,139
that Jake "The Snake" Roberts
brings to ringside.

1883
01:28:31,206 --> 01:28:33,041
You don't think the King
brought his own snake, do you?

1884
01:28:33,208 --> 01:28:34,409
[Mr. Perfect] Jake's in the bag.

1885
01:28:34,476 --> 01:28:36,438
-[Ross] King is afraid of snakes.
-[Mr. Perfect] I don't mean that one.

1886
01:28:36,538 --> 01:28:38,213
[Ross] The King is afraid of snakes.

1887
01:28:39,418 --> 01:28:41,116
-[Mark] Is that a snake?
-[Vince] He's not afraid of, uh--

1888
01:28:41,183 --> 01:28:42,483
he's not afraid of this one,

1889
01:28:42,818 --> 01:28:44,619
just like Jake "The Snake" and…

1890
01:28:48,056 --> 01:28:50,392
-What an-- oh, my goodness.
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh, my God.

1891
01:28:50,458 --> 01:28:51,960
[Vince] This is not gonna be popular.

1892
01:28:52,027 --> 01:28:54,062
[Ross] That's a Baltimore Raven's Jersey.

1893
01:28:54,129 --> 01:28:56,331
[Vince] No, it's not gonna be popular
with these Cleveland fans.

1894
01:28:56,398 --> 01:28:58,032
[Mark] You're talking
about a slap on the face,

1895
01:28:58,099 --> 01:28:59,867
of all the stuff
that happened to these people.

1896
01:28:59,934 --> 01:29:02,404
-[Vince] Yeah.
-[Ross] Well, see Cleveland Browns

1897
01:29:02,469 --> 01:29:06,208
were here more than 50 years,
and as a football league franchise,

1898
01:29:06,273 --> 01:29:08,364
-Cleveland town, thanks to--
-[Mr. Perfect] He tried it, Ross,

1899
01:29:08,438 --> 01:29:09,678
-listen up.
-[Ross] Thanks to him, no doubt.

1900
01:29:09,744 --> 01:29:11,313
[Jerry] You ain't gonna cheer
in Cleveland, huh?

1901
01:29:11,379 --> 01:29:14,215
-What about those Ravens? [laughs]
-[crowd booing]

1902
01:29:14,282 --> 01:29:16,684
[Ross] A move from Cleveland to Baltimore.

1903
01:29:17,686 --> 01:29:18,786
Oh, yeah.

1904
01:29:18,893 --> 01:29:20,693
[Mr. Perfect] You gotta love
this guy's sense of humor, Ross.

1905
01:29:20,793 --> 01:29:22,057
-[Ross] Oh, yeah.
-[Mr. Perfect] What a guy.

1906
01:29:22,190 --> 01:29:24,425
[Mark]
I think it's pretty sick personally.

1907
01:29:24,492 --> 01:29:26,121
-[Ross] That's cheap for sure.
-[Mr. Perfect] Okay, Mark.

1908
01:29:26,221 --> 01:29:28,964
[Mark] But these people really love
their-- really love their football.

1909
01:29:30,831 --> 01:29:32,534
[Vince] And the King rubbing it in.

1910
01:29:32,867 --> 01:29:35,303
You know, I left tickets
for a lot of people here.

1911
01:29:36,103 --> 01:29:37,973
I know they're around here somewhere.

1912
01:29:39,507 --> 01:29:42,744
Where are my-- you saw me throwing out
the first ball at the Indians game,

1913
01:29:42,811 --> 01:29:47,449
Mike Hargrove was down on his hands
and knees begging me to sign a contract.

1914
01:29:48,049 --> 01:29:49,251
[Vince] Oh, my goodness.

1915
01:29:49,317 --> 01:29:50,919
And I know Sandy Alomar is here.

1916
01:29:50,986 --> 01:29:53,755
Where is Sandy Alomar?
I know-- oh, yeah he's here.

1917
01:29:53,822 --> 01:29:57,592
Now-- hey, listen, two more
of my close personal friends are here,

1918
01:29:57,659 --> 01:29:59,126
I had to leave them tickets.

1919
01:30:00,128 --> 01:30:02,330
David and Art Modell are here somewhere…

1920
01:30:02,397 --> 01:30:03,932
-[Vince] Oh, no.
-…and if they're sitting next to you,

1921
01:30:03,999 --> 01:30:05,700
don't pester for an autograph.

1922
01:30:05,767 --> 01:30:07,035
[Mark laughs]

1923
01:30:07,768 --> 01:30:09,571
-Oh, my God.
-[Vince] He is too much.

1924
01:30:09,638 --> 01:30:12,139
-[Mark] I can't believe this.
-Now, let me tell you something.

1925
01:30:12,206 --> 01:30:14,910
I've got a lot of things here
for Jake Roberts tonight.

1926
01:30:15,744 --> 01:30:19,714
I brought him--
I brought his two tag team partners.

1927
01:30:20,482 --> 01:30:22,117
-[Mr. Perfect laughing]
-[Jerry] Jim Beam…

1928
01:30:22,183 --> 01:30:23,151
[Vince] Oh, no.

1929
01:30:24,518 --> 01:30:25,519
Jim Beam.

1930
01:30:25,587 --> 01:30:27,222
…and maybe Jack Daniels, I don't know.

1931
01:30:27,289 --> 01:30:30,025
[Mr. Perfect] Oh, yeah. Like I said,
what a great sense of humor.

1932
01:30:30,090 --> 01:30:31,860
These are just for Jake "The Snake."

1933
01:30:31,927 --> 01:30:35,096
-[Mark] It's actually not funny.
-[Vince] A sick sense of humor.

1934
01:30:35,730 --> 01:30:38,032
I understand
Jake "The Snake" Roberts' wife

1935
01:30:38,099 --> 01:30:39,501
is in the audience somewhere here tonight.

1936
01:30:39,567 --> 01:30:40,669
-[Vince] Oh, boy.
-[Mark] Oh, my God.

1937
01:30:40,735 --> 01:30:43,371
[Vince] We don't have to go there.
She'll be real ugly.

1938
01:30:43,438 --> 01:30:45,572
I'm telling you she's ugly, but Jake said,

1939
01:30:45,639 --> 01:30:48,108
"Nothing that a light switch
and a six pack won't cure."

1940
01:30:48,175 --> 01:30:49,544
[laughter]

1941
01:30:49,611 --> 01:30:52,147
-[Jerry] Where is she?
-[Vince] That's bad. That's bad.

1942
01:30:52,213 --> 01:30:55,450
The only reason he married her was
because she had kisses sweeter than wine.

1943
01:30:55,517 --> 01:30:56,985
-[laughs]
-[Vince] Uh-oh.

1944
01:30:57,052 --> 01:30:59,788
-He's gonna regret these comments.
-Let me tell you something.

1945
01:30:59,853 --> 01:31:02,991
Hey, hey, Mark Henry…

1946
01:31:03,058 --> 01:31:05,360
-[Vince] Uh-oh.
-…you think you can lift these, huh?

1947
01:31:06,094 --> 01:31:07,462
Oh, Jake sure can.

1948
01:31:07,762 --> 01:31:11,199
Why don't you sit-- hey, Mark Henry,
you were at the Olympics, right?

1949
01:31:12,233 --> 01:31:13,300
-Huh?
-[Vince] Obviously.

1950
01:31:13,367 --> 01:31:14,501
I don't see any medals.

1951
01:31:14,568 --> 01:31:16,371
Do you see any medals
hanging around his neck?

1952
01:31:17,405 --> 01:31:18,907
[Vince] Mark Henry was hurt
at the Olympics.

1953
01:31:18,974 --> 01:31:20,575
[Jerry] Hey, don't worry about it.

1954
01:31:21,343 --> 01:31:23,745
You can look at Mark Henry
and tell that if he won a gold medal,

1955
01:31:23,812 --> 01:31:26,848
he'll just take it and have it bronzed.
[laughs]

1956
01:31:26,915 --> 01:31:28,483
[Vince] Oh, my goodness.

1957
01:31:29,483 --> 01:31:32,219
[Jerry] Here, set these
right over there or something.

1958
01:31:32,286 --> 01:31:33,989
Just set them right there
in front of McMahon.

1959
01:31:34,054 --> 01:31:35,456
And, McMahon, don't you drink any of this.

1960
01:31:35,523 --> 01:31:36,825
[Vince] Not a chance.

1961
01:31:37,325 --> 01:31:39,193
[Jerry] Shut up
with that Burger King garbage.

1962
01:31:39,259 --> 01:31:42,130
He would never know what it's like
to be that type of an athlete.

1963
01:31:42,197 --> 01:31:43,197
That's right, Mark.

1964
01:31:44,398 --> 01:31:46,934
His lips are gold medal-sized.

1965
01:31:47,235 --> 01:31:51,840
[Mark] One of these days, somebody's
gonna have to put an end on his mouth.

1966
01:31:51,906 --> 01:31:55,910
…A bar stool and let him use it
as a walker and let him stagger out here,

1967
01:31:55,977 --> 01:31:58,045
and the first thing,
I'm gonna do you all a favor,

1968
01:31:58,446 --> 01:32:01,215
I'm gonna knock him down horizontal,
so you'll recognize him.

1969
01:32:01,282 --> 01:32:02,916
[laughing]

1970
01:32:02,983 --> 01:32:04,619
[Vince] Oh, the King's full of himself.

1971
01:32:05,186 --> 01:32:08,456
I told you, you know, Jake said it.
He's been a little under the weather.

1972
01:32:08,523 --> 01:32:10,125
He's got bar-thritis.

1973
01:32:10,959 --> 01:32:13,260
That's why he was stiffing
a different joint every night.

1974
01:32:13,327 --> 01:32:14,596
[laughing]

1975
01:32:14,661 --> 01:32:16,831
[Ross] It's like listening
to a bad comedian on a cruise ship.

1976
01:32:16,898 --> 01:32:18,299
-["Snake Bit" playing]
-[crowd cheering]

1977
01:32:18,366 --> 01:32:20,869
[Vince] Henny Youngman, where are you?
We need you.

1978
01:32:22,070 --> 01:32:24,839
All right. [clapping]

1979
01:32:25,572 --> 01:32:27,776
-[Mr. Perfect] Let's go, Jake.
-[Vince] Here he comes.

1980
01:32:27,842 --> 01:32:30,378
And, you know, what's in this man's bag.

1981
01:32:30,445 --> 01:32:32,246
[Howard] …from Stone Mountain, Georgia,

1982
01:32:32,313 --> 01:32:38,186
weighing 260 pounds,
Jake "The Snake" Roberts.

1983
01:32:38,253 --> 01:32:39,654
[crowd cheering]

1984
01:32:39,721 --> 01:32:41,790
[Vince] And Jake looks like
he's in a foul mood,

1985
01:32:41,856 --> 01:32:44,459
and who wouldn't be
after those remarks about his family.

1986
01:32:44,526 --> 01:32:46,728
-[Mr. Perfect] Probably got a hangover.
-[Vince] Stop it.

1987
01:32:50,130 --> 01:32:54,068
And wait a minute,
here comes Jake "The Snake" and--

1988
01:32:54,134 --> 01:32:55,236
whoa.

1989
01:32:55,969 --> 01:32:58,840
[Ross] Harvey Wippleman is gonna have
a tall task ahead of him here.

1990
01:32:58,907 --> 01:33:00,508
[Vince] If I were Jake, I'd be leery

1991
01:33:00,575 --> 01:33:03,143
of what Jerry "the King" Lawler
has in that bag.

1992
01:33:08,516 --> 01:33:10,985
[Mark] I think that this man
deserves a lot more respect

1993
01:33:11,052 --> 01:33:12,387
than what he is getting.

1994
01:33:13,254 --> 01:33:15,889
[Jerry] Hold it there, Jake.
It's-- nobody said last call.

1995
01:33:16,157 --> 01:33:17,826
-[Mr. Perfect laughs]
-Calm down.

1996
01:33:18,793 --> 01:33:20,027
Watch him there, ref.

1997
01:33:20,829 --> 01:33:22,097
Now, listen, Jake.

1998
01:33:23,764 --> 01:33:27,902
I know you've got something
in that bag of yours that I don't like.

1999
01:33:28,969 --> 01:33:30,705
But I brought a bag myself.

2000
01:33:30,772 --> 01:33:32,674
Now, I got something in my bag

2001
01:33:32,941 --> 01:33:35,610
that you like better
than what you got in your bag.

2002
01:33:36,811 --> 01:33:38,746
And I brought this just for you, Jake.

2003
01:33:41,148 --> 01:33:42,282
And we'll make a deal.

2004
01:33:42,349 --> 01:33:44,652
If you don't take out
what you got in your bag,

2005
01:33:44,719 --> 01:33:47,121
I will take out what I got in mine, okay?

2006
01:33:48,857 --> 01:33:51,925
[Vince] Jerry "the King" Lawler
trying to talk his way out of this match,

2007
01:33:51,992 --> 01:33:53,327
it's not gonna happen.

2008
01:33:53,393 --> 01:33:55,163
[Ross] It's like he's Monty Hall now,
making a deal.

2009
01:33:55,230 --> 01:33:56,197
[Mark] Hmm.

2010
01:33:56,397 --> 01:33:58,398
[Vince] But what does he have in the bag?

2011
01:33:59,834 --> 01:34:01,702
-[Ross] Not a snake.
-[Mark] I hope not.

2012
01:34:01,768 --> 01:34:03,338
[Vince] Not unless he gets in it.

2013
01:34:05,406 --> 01:34:07,375
[Mr. Perfect] Well, Mark,
you don't like snakes either, huh?

2014
01:34:07,541 --> 01:34:09,643
[Mark] No, not--
I can't say that because, uh--

2015
01:34:09,710 --> 01:34:11,545
-[laughs]
-[Mark] Oh, my God.

2016
01:34:11,612 --> 01:34:12,547
[Vince] Oh, no.

2017
01:34:12,614 --> 01:34:14,415
[crowd cheering]

2018
01:34:14,482 --> 01:34:15,683
[Vince] Oh, no. Look out.

2019
01:34:16,705 --> 01:34:18,482
-[Mark] I've never liked snakes.
-[Mr. Perfect] Look at Jake.

2020
01:34:18,557 --> 01:34:20,021
[Vince] I've never seen
a bottle that big before.

2021
01:34:20,088 --> 01:34:21,389
[Mark] But I like Jake Roberts.

2022
01:34:21,755 --> 01:34:24,092
[Mr. Perfect] Well, Jake wants
to take a big slug off it. Look at him.

2023
01:34:24,159 --> 01:34:26,361
Oh, it's driving him crazy
not having that.

2024
01:34:26,427 --> 01:34:28,730
[Ross] Well, as humiliating,
as embarrassing,

2025
01:34:28,795 --> 01:34:30,130
Jake Roberts' family is here…

2026
01:34:30,197 --> 01:34:31,766
-[Mark] Oh, my God.
-[Ross]…and so as his snake.

2027
01:34:31,833 --> 01:34:33,535
[Vince] Yeah. And a snake now…

2028
01:34:33,601 --> 01:34:36,271
-[Mark screams]
-[crowd cheering]

2029
01:34:36,337 --> 01:34:38,306
[Vince] Oh, yes.

2030
01:34:38,373 --> 01:34:40,474
[crowd cheering]

2031
01:34:41,009 --> 01:34:43,577
[Ross] Nobody will never be able
to tell how scared the King is

2032
01:34:43,644 --> 01:34:46,246
except himself and the lady
that does his laundry.

2033
01:34:46,813 --> 01:34:48,148
[Vince] Oh, no.

2034
01:34:49,050 --> 01:34:53,121
And Revelations is just
all over Jerry "the King" Lawler

2035
01:34:53,188 --> 01:34:54,322
and he's out of here.

2036
01:34:54,389 --> 01:34:56,590
[Mr. Perfect]
Look at the size of that snake.

2037
01:35:00,762 --> 01:35:03,731
[crowd cheering]

2038
01:35:03,798 --> 01:35:05,900
[Vince] And you can't blame
Jake "The Snake" Roberts.

2039
01:35:06,601 --> 01:35:08,969
[Mark] Hey, you might
need to get a hold of that snake.

2040
01:35:09,036 --> 01:35:10,638
[crowd chatter]

2041
01:35:11,673 --> 01:35:13,374
[Vince] And Lawler trying to shake it off.

2042
01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:16,945
Lawler's big mouth,
certainly not running at the moment.

2043
01:35:17,978 --> 01:35:19,380
[Ross] A lot of people respect snakes,

2044
01:35:19,447 --> 01:35:23,384
including our 410-pound
Olympian right here.

2045
01:35:24,318 --> 01:35:27,021
He's putting it in the bag, Mark.
Everything's gonna be all right.

2046
01:35:27,088 --> 01:35:30,491
-I don't like snakes either.
-[Vince] At least until the match is over.

2047
01:35:31,159 --> 01:35:33,494
[crowd chatter]

2048
01:35:34,094 --> 01:35:36,431
[Ross] Well, I can smell
a DDT in the air somewhere.

2049
01:35:36,965 --> 01:35:38,433
[Vince] I think you're right.

2050
01:35:38,866 --> 01:35:40,235
[Mr. Perfect] That was Jake's breath.

2051
01:35:40,969 --> 01:35:42,804
[Vince] No, not Jake's breath.

2052
01:35:42,870 --> 01:35:45,139
-[Jake] DDT! DDT!
-[crowd chants] DDT!

2053
01:35:45,206 --> 01:35:47,342
[Ross] And the guy has admitted
he had problems.

2054
01:35:47,407 --> 01:35:51,112
He's worked very hard to overcome
and he's trying to help others.

2055
01:35:51,179 --> 01:35:54,581
He's admitted it, what else--
what else can he do for goodness sakes?

2056
01:35:55,450 --> 01:35:58,419
[Vince] Not only admitting it,
and indeed, going around the country

2057
01:35:58,486 --> 01:36:01,822
and talking about
the way life was for him.

2058
01:36:01,889 --> 01:36:04,259
-[Mr. Perfect] What is it, King?
-[Vince] Hey, what are you doing?

2059
01:36:04,892 --> 01:36:05,994
Oh, not again.

2060
01:36:06,059 --> 01:36:08,362
-Are you gonna talk or wrestle?
-Come on, Jake.

2061
01:36:09,097 --> 01:36:10,264
Come on, Jake.

2062
01:36:10,331 --> 01:36:13,367
-It's on, huh?
-[Vince] He has a mic and-- is it on?

2063
01:36:13,433 --> 01:36:14,902
I suppose it is on.

2064
01:36:14,969 --> 01:36:18,606
I'm trying to get a better piece of him.
Look, Jake, come on.

2065
01:36:21,375 --> 01:36:22,576
Hey.

2066
01:36:22,643 --> 01:36:25,313
[Vince] The King trying to get
his microphone turned on and can't.

2067
01:36:25,380 --> 01:36:27,215
That's the best thing that's happened
to the King all night.

2068
01:36:27,282 --> 01:36:28,282
[Ross] Yeah.

2069
01:36:29,884 --> 01:36:31,352
Maybe somebody'll muzzle him.

2070
01:36:32,353 --> 01:36:34,451
Now, the inevitable has set in for Lawler.

2071
01:36:34,550 --> 01:36:36,023
-He's gotta--
-[Vince] Here we go, here we go.

2072
01:36:36,090 --> 01:36:38,092
He's looking for a microphone.
He's gonna find Jake.

2073
01:36:38,159 --> 01:36:39,227
Jake's gonna find him.

2074
01:36:39,294 --> 01:36:42,096
[crowd cheering]

2075
01:36:42,163 --> 01:36:43,431
[Mr. Perfect] Oh.

2076
01:36:45,900 --> 01:36:49,003
[Vince] Jake "The Snake" Roberts
hot on the trail

2077
01:36:49,404 --> 01:36:50,672
of Jerry "the King" Lawler.

2078
01:36:51,239 --> 01:36:53,174
[Ross] Jake Roberts has turned
the other cheek

2079
01:36:53,241 --> 01:36:56,311
the last time
as to the likes of Jerry Lawler.

2080
01:36:56,376 --> 01:36:59,179
-[crow chanting] DDT!
-Crowd knows what they want.

2081
01:36:59,246 --> 01:37:01,449
[Vince] Yeah.
They want the DDT, all right.

2082
01:37:02,116 --> 01:37:03,584
Wide open, the King.

2083
01:37:05,018 --> 01:37:07,755
Jake "The Snake" Roberts,
the wily veteran.

2084
01:37:09,190 --> 01:37:10,692
[crowd cheering]

2085
01:37:10,758 --> 01:37:12,460
[Mr. Perfect] Disqualify him, ref.

2086
01:37:14,462 --> 01:37:17,165
[Vince] And a boot there
into the lower abdominal area.

2087
01:37:18,366 --> 01:37:21,768
And Jake "The Snake" Roberts
at the moment, maintaining his control

2088
01:37:21,835 --> 01:37:22,937
over the Jerry "the King" Lawler.

2089
01:37:23,004 --> 01:37:24,505
Scoops him up here on the outside.

2090
01:37:24,906 --> 01:37:26,441
-[Ross] Oh.
-[Vince] Jams him down.

2091
01:37:26,507 --> 01:37:28,409
[Ross]
That was on the southern abdominals.

2092
01:37:28,476 --> 01:37:30,010
[Vince laughing]

2093
01:37:31,446 --> 01:37:36,351
By the way, we have word that, indeed,
Mankind is back in the boiler room.

2094
01:37:36,416 --> 01:37:37,985
-[crowd chatter]
-Three.

2095
01:37:38,052 --> 01:37:39,487
And The King-- oh.

2096
01:37:39,954 --> 01:37:42,423
-[Mark] Oh, my God.
-[Vince] Right into the ring post.

2097
01:37:42,824 --> 01:37:45,159
[Ross] Mark, that post
is very unforgiving.

2098
01:37:45,226 --> 01:37:46,661
[Mark] Yeah. I can tell.

2099
01:37:46,760 --> 01:37:48,295
[Vince] Right here in front us.

2100
01:37:48,362 --> 01:37:50,865
-Look at this.
-[Jake] Do you see those? Huh?

2101
01:37:50,932 --> 01:37:53,367
You don't want me to pour you some,
do you?

2102
01:37:53,433 --> 01:37:55,603
-[Harvey] Get him in the ring.
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh.

2103
01:37:55,670 --> 01:37:58,239
Get him inside the ring, Snake,
come on now.

2104
01:37:58,306 --> 01:38:01,541
[Vince] Jake "The Snake" Roberts
teaching Jerry "the King" Lawler a lesson

2105
01:38:01,608 --> 01:38:02,923
he is likely to remember.

2106
01:38:03,023 --> 01:38:04,946
[Mr. Perfect] What was he asking him?
Like, if he wanted a drink or what?

2107
01:38:05,012 --> 01:38:06,567
Everybody knows that King doesn't drink.

2108
01:38:06,643 --> 01:38:08,049
[Harvey] Oh, Jake,
you're gonna get disqualified.

2109
01:38:08,116 --> 01:38:09,384
Get in the ring now.

2110
01:38:10,084 --> 01:38:11,786
[Vince] Jake "The Snake" Roberts
rolling right back in,

2111
01:38:11,853 --> 01:38:14,956
and Jerry "the King" Lawler
looking for something here on the outside.

2112
01:38:15,022 --> 01:38:16,991
[crowd chatter]

2113
01:38:19,192 --> 01:38:23,677
[Vince] Ah! And unfortunately,
some canned soda…

2114
01:38:23,777 --> 01:38:25,433
[Mr. Perfect] I don't think
he's ready to drink, Jake--

2115
01:38:25,500 --> 01:38:27,000
[Vince] …into the eye
of Jake "The Snake" Roberts.

2116
01:38:27,067 --> 01:38:29,504
[Mark] So, what is the fan
gonna do for drinking now?

2117
01:38:29,570 --> 01:38:30,842
[Ross]
Well, Lawler's not worried about it.

2118
01:38:30,916 --> 01:38:32,340
[Mr. Perfect] Oh, Jake will buy him
a drink later.

2119
01:38:32,407 --> 01:38:33,574
[Ross] Sure he will.

2120
01:38:33,641 --> 01:38:34,976
Stop it. It's not nice.

2121
01:38:35,041 --> 01:38:36,411
[Mark chuckles] Oh, my God.

2122
01:38:37,044 --> 01:38:38,780
Everything turns into a joke.

2123
01:38:39,246 --> 01:38:40,982
[Vince]
Well, if you're Jerry "the King" Lawler,

2124
01:38:41,048 --> 01:38:43,750
that's the way it starts
and he tries to end it that way.

2125
01:38:43,817 --> 01:38:46,053
What-- oh, no. No.

2126
01:38:47,855 --> 01:38:49,624
[Mr. Perfect] Oh, he's gonna get Jake--

2127
01:38:49,690 --> 01:38:51,159
[Vince] Jake's tied up in the ropes.

2128
01:38:51,826 --> 01:38:53,027
Jake, tied up in the ropes.

2129
01:38:53,094 --> 01:38:55,362
Snake is out and here we go now
and the King--

2130
01:38:55,429 --> 01:38:58,166
oh, the King gets Jake "The Snake"
over his back.

2131
01:38:59,066 --> 01:39:02,870
[Ross] Jake going for that DDT and Lawler
countered it with a back body drop.

2132
01:39:02,937 --> 01:39:08,809
[Vince] And the King
and Jake "The Snake" Roberts having a go.

2133
01:39:09,610 --> 01:39:12,612
Ripping the jaw there by Jake,
wrapping up Jerry "the King" Lawler.

2134
01:39:12,679 --> 01:39:14,916
Jake "The Snake" Roberts,
perfect shot to the body.

2135
01:39:14,982 --> 01:39:16,884
[Mark] Oh. Nice move, nice move.

2136
01:39:17,485 --> 01:39:20,521
[crowd cheering]

2137
01:39:20,588 --> 01:39:22,956
[Ross] DDT, that's the set up maneuver.

2138
01:39:24,358 --> 01:39:27,195
That might be a good move
for you to learn, Mark, the DDT.

2139
01:39:28,563 --> 01:39:30,965
[Vince] Yes, we are anxiously
awaiting a present.

2140
01:39:31,532 --> 01:39:34,969
[Ross] And here we go-- wait a minute,
the King grabbing the official.

2141
01:39:36,170 --> 01:39:37,672
[Mr. Perfect]
What was Harvey doing in there?

2142
01:39:37,737 --> 01:39:39,340
[Vince] No. Wait a minute,
it's not Harvey's fault.

2143
01:39:39,407 --> 01:39:40,708
[Ross] No, it sure wasn't.

2144
01:39:41,204 --> 01:39:42,929
-Lawler's had that bottle.
-[Vince] Wait a minute, the King--

2145
01:39:43,029 --> 01:39:44,978
King has a bottle there and-- oh, no.

2146
01:39:45,513 --> 01:39:46,714
Right into the throat.

2147
01:39:47,281 --> 01:39:50,718
Jerry Lawler jammed that bottle
to the throat of Jake "The Snake" Roberts.

2148
01:39:51,085 --> 01:39:52,186
Covers him up here.

2149
01:39:52,820 --> 01:39:54,284
-He pulls it tight. Oh.
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh, yeah.

2150
01:39:54,384 --> 01:39:55,822
-Have you ever heard of a bottleneck?
-[bell ringing]

2151
01:39:55,942 --> 01:39:57,192
[Mr. Perfect laughs]

2152
01:39:57,291 --> 01:40:01,027
[Howard] Here's your winner,
Jerry "the King" Lawler.

2153
01:40:01,094 --> 01:40:03,865
[Vince] The official apparently
did not see Jerry Lawler

2154
01:40:04,632 --> 01:40:09,904
use the bottle, and he jammed that bottle
right up into the throat of Jake

2155
01:40:09,971 --> 01:40:12,206
impairing his breathing ability.

2156
01:40:12,273 --> 01:40:16,277
And Jake appears to be suffering somewhat
on the other side.

2157
01:40:16,344 --> 01:40:18,646
[Mr. Perfect] Tonight,
the bottle let him down.

2158
01:40:19,246 --> 01:40:23,150
The one true friend Jake thought he found,
and tonight the bottle let him down.

2159
01:40:24,785 --> 01:40:26,721
[Mark] I mean,
the referee didn't see that?

2160
01:40:26,786 --> 01:40:28,456
I mean, that was a blatant foul.

2161
01:40:28,523 --> 01:40:31,025
Hey, I didn't do anything.

2162
01:40:31,959 --> 01:40:35,096
Can't you-- ain't it obvious?

2163
01:40:36,230 --> 01:40:38,499
Can't you tell
what's wrong with him, referee?

2164
01:40:40,034 --> 01:40:41,501
Something wrong with throat?

2165
01:40:42,068 --> 01:40:44,371
His throat's dry, he needs a drink.

2166
01:40:44,851 --> 01:40:46,273
-[Vince] Oh, wait a minute.
-[Jerry] That's all.

2167
01:40:46,340 --> 01:40:47,375
[Ross] Oh, no, that--

2168
01:40:47,441 --> 01:40:49,343
Jake needs another drink.

2169
01:40:50,411 --> 01:40:52,213
[Ross] That would be utterly humiliating.

2170
01:40:52,679 --> 01:40:55,750
Jake Roberts' small children
are in attendance tonight.

2171
01:40:55,950 --> 01:41:00,420
[Vince] And this is what he did
to Aldo Montoya not long ago.

2172
01:41:01,422 --> 01:41:03,424
Like, he's not gonna do this to Jake.

2173
01:41:03,491 --> 01:41:05,660
-[Mark] Oh, my goodness.
-[Vince] Ugh!

2174
01:41:05,726 --> 01:41:09,463
That's raw-- that's raw booze
he's dumping down Jake's throat.

2175
01:41:09,530 --> 01:41:10,531
Look at this.

2176
01:41:10,598 --> 01:41:12,633
[Mr. Perfect] Well,
Jake's off the wagon now for sure.

2177
01:41:13,200 --> 01:41:15,436
Might as well make a night
of it now, Jake.

2178
01:41:15,503 --> 01:41:18,406
[Vince] Oh, come on.
This is no time for humor.

2179
01:41:19,974 --> 01:41:22,876
A recovered alcoholic being dosed.
That's--

2180
01:41:22,943 --> 01:41:24,545
[Mr. Perfect] Recovered alcoholic?

2181
01:41:24,612 --> 01:41:27,415
[Ross] This is not even-- this is wrong.

2182
01:41:27,949 --> 01:41:29,049
One more.

2183
01:41:29,849 --> 01:41:30,951
[Mark] Oh, my goodness.

2184
01:41:31,018 --> 01:41:32,286
Did you hear what Jake said?

2185
01:41:32,753 --> 01:41:35,456
He wants to know
if anybody's got a beer for a chaser.

2186
01:41:35,523 --> 01:41:36,456
[laughs]

2187
01:41:36,891 --> 01:41:38,358
[Mr. Perfect] Let him have a double.

2188
01:41:39,492 --> 01:41:41,262
[Mark] Somebody got to stop this trash.

2189
01:41:41,329 --> 01:41:43,965
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh, can you smell that?
-[Vince] That is horrible, that odor.

2190
01:41:44,031 --> 01:41:45,333
[Mark] The referee isn't--

2191
01:41:45,833 --> 01:41:47,969
-[Ross] And the official--
-[Vince] Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

2192
01:41:48,035 --> 01:41:50,838
-[Ross] Uh-oh.
-[Vince] Mark Henry just went off headset.

2193
01:41:52,005 --> 01:41:56,110
And look at this. Whoa. No, sir.
Mark Henry…

2194
01:41:57,545 --> 01:41:59,780
is stopping this in his own right.

2195
01:41:59,847 --> 01:42:02,016
[Mr. Perfect] Don't make me get up now
and get over there.

2196
01:42:02,583 --> 01:42:04,451
What's Henry think he's doing over there?

2197
01:42:04,518 --> 01:42:05,831
[crowd chatter]

2198
01:42:05,956 --> 01:42:07,521
-[Ross] He's too upset--
-[Vince] He's a 400-pounder,

2199
01:42:07,588 --> 01:42:10,625
the strongest man in the world
had had enough,

2200
01:42:10,691 --> 01:42:13,861
even though he has no experience
actually wrestling in the ring,

2201
01:42:13,928 --> 01:42:16,230
he had had enough of
Jerry "the King" Lawler's

2202
01:42:16,364 --> 01:42:17,565
tactics and antics.

2203
01:42:17,764 --> 01:42:20,201
[crowd chatter]

2204
01:42:25,840 --> 01:42:28,742
[Vince] And Mark Henry,
over to help Jake "The Snake" Roberts

2205
01:42:28,808 --> 01:42:33,246
who has been, if nothing else,
totally humiliated.

2206
01:42:34,715 --> 01:42:37,518
[Ross] Well, that wasn't
an athletic contest we just witnessed.

2207
01:42:37,585 --> 01:42:40,655
That was a--
nothing but humiliation and degradation

2208
01:42:40,888 --> 01:42:42,523
to Jake "The Snake" Roberts.

2209
01:42:42,590 --> 01:42:43,991
I feel so bad for him.

2210
01:42:44,058 --> 01:42:45,793
He's physically sick.

2211
01:42:45,860 --> 01:42:48,896
And I can't say I feel much different.

2212
01:42:49,330 --> 01:42:50,431
[Mr. Perfect chuckles] Oh.

2213
01:42:50,498 --> 01:42:52,566
[crowd chatter]

2214
01:42:54,300 --> 01:42:58,304
[Vince] Jake being helped back
by Mark Henry.

2215
01:42:58,371 --> 01:43:00,441
[cheering and applause]

2216
01:43:02,543 --> 01:43:07,281
[Vince] And one day, I believe,
Jerry Lawler will pay for this.

2217
01:43:08,049 --> 01:43:09,750
[crowd chatter]

2218
01:43:09,817 --> 01:43:11,619
[Mr. Perfect] You know, what Mark--
what's Mark Henry doing

2219
01:43:11,686 --> 01:43:13,387
sticking his big fat nose
in everybody's business?

2220
01:43:13,454 --> 01:43:17,258
[Vince] Look he was-- he came down here
just to have commentary with us.

2221
01:43:18,480 --> 01:43:20,361
[Mr. Perfect] Well, now that Jake's
out of the way, Mark Henry,

2222
01:43:20,428 --> 01:43:22,563
-maybe you'll be next with the King.
-[coughs]

2223
01:43:23,496 --> 01:43:26,701
[Ross] You could smell that liquor,
this odor just reeks.

2224
01:43:29,402 --> 01:43:33,674
[Vince] Bob Backlund,
I am told is out and very-- there--

2225
01:43:33,741 --> 01:43:35,608
Bob Backlund is actually campaigning.

2226
01:43:35,675 --> 01:43:38,579
Bob Backlund continuing to campaign,
ladies and gentlemen.

2227
01:43:38,646 --> 01:43:40,347
And you wanna talk about a campaign,

2228
01:43:40,414 --> 01:43:43,217
you got to be talking
about the Boiler Room Brawl,

2229
01:43:43,284 --> 01:43:46,987
coming up next, ladies and gentlemen,
here at SummerSlam,

2230
01:43:47,054 --> 01:43:51,157
the Gund Arena likely to never,
ever be the same again.

2231
01:43:51,224 --> 01:43:52,393
Let's take a look.

2232
01:43:53,928 --> 01:43:56,630
[narrator] The intense
and unpredictable relationship

2233
01:43:56,697 --> 01:44:02,036
between The Undertaker and Mankind seems
to have been forged by fate ages ago.

2234
01:44:02,103 --> 01:44:04,538
Although both dwell
in the world of darkness,

2235
01:44:04,605 --> 01:44:06,874
only one embraces the light.

2236
01:44:07,340 --> 01:44:09,076
Based on an unearthly hatred,

2237
01:44:09,143 --> 01:44:14,081
Mankind began his assault on the realm
of The Undertaker over five months ago.

2238
01:44:14,148 --> 01:44:16,317
-[Vince] Look out.
-[Jerry] Oh, my gosh.

2239
01:44:16,383 --> 01:44:19,754
[Vince] He's gonna keep on jamming
those fingers down the esophagus.

2240
01:44:20,920 --> 01:44:23,523
[narrator] The Undertaker has experienced
the paralyzing effect

2241
01:44:23,590 --> 01:44:26,393
of the Mandible Claw
on more than one occasion.

2242
01:44:26,460 --> 01:44:27,995
Mankind from the start,

2243
01:44:28,062 --> 01:44:30,464
had a dangerous craving
to destroy The Undertaker.

2244
01:44:31,165 --> 01:44:34,535
Carefully choosing moments
when The Undertaker would least expect it

2245
01:44:35,135 --> 01:44:37,571
[Vince] What is that? Oh, that's Mankind.

2246
01:44:37,638 --> 01:44:39,173
[Jerry] That's Mankind.

2247
01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:41,909
[Vince]
Oh, that's Mankind underneath the ring.

2248
01:44:41,976 --> 01:44:44,812
Mankind, up from the bottom of the ring.

2249
01:44:44,879 --> 01:44:47,681
[Ross] He's got the Mandible Claw
on The Undertaker.

2250
01:44:47,748 --> 01:44:50,985
[narrator] The Undertaker has emerged
from each of these attacks

2251
01:44:51,050 --> 01:44:53,888
with a growing anger
beyond earthly limits.

2252
01:44:54,420 --> 01:44:58,459
The uncontrollable rage
of these two superstars transcends titles

2253
01:44:58,526 --> 01:45:02,163
and can only be confined
within the bowels of tonight's arena.

2254
01:45:02,596 --> 01:45:05,833
Without doubt,
Mankind poses The Undertaker's

2255
01:45:05,900 --> 01:45:08,001
most threatening challenge to date.

2256
01:45:08,402 --> 01:45:11,005
Mankind, physically
and mentally disfigured,

2257
01:45:11,071 --> 01:45:12,873
seems to thrive on pain.

2258
01:45:12,940 --> 01:45:16,710
A consequence tonight's Boiler Room Brawl
will most certainly deliver.

2259
01:45:17,443 --> 01:45:22,416
The only question left is how much pain
can these Superstars endure?

2260
01:45:24,718 --> 01:45:26,687
["Rest in Peace" playing]

2261
01:45:26,754 --> 01:45:28,455
[crowd cheering]

2262
01:45:30,791 --> 01:45:33,460
[Vince] Paul Bearer
will be on his way shortly…

2263
01:45:34,428 --> 01:45:36,230
-[Howard] Ladies and gentlemen…
-[Vince] …to the squared circle.

2264
01:45:36,297 --> 01:45:39,834
[Howard] …about to come
down the aisle, with the urn,

2265
01:45:40,601 --> 01:45:43,170
Paul Bearer.

2266
01:45:44,071 --> 01:45:47,007
[Vince] Paul Bearer
on his way to ringside,

2267
01:45:47,074 --> 01:45:49,777
exactly where the urn will be placed.

2268
01:45:51,045 --> 01:45:54,548
And of course,
the winner of the Boiler Room Brawl

2269
01:45:56,016 --> 01:45:57,017
must…

2270
01:45:59,186 --> 01:46:00,987
emerge from the boiler room.

2271
01:46:01,455 --> 01:46:06,293
Must indeed, take possession
of the urn out here in the arena.

2272
01:46:07,628 --> 01:46:09,563
What do you expect we're gonna see, J.R.?

2273
01:46:09,630 --> 01:46:11,197
[Ross] I'll tell you,
it's so hard to predict

2274
01:46:11,264 --> 01:46:14,268
because there's no precedent
for this matchup.

2275
01:46:14,335 --> 01:46:18,138
Nothing like this has ever--
has ever happened before.

2276
01:46:18,205 --> 01:46:22,142
I'm very surprised that Gorilla Monsoon
has sanctioned this matchup even though--

2277
01:46:22,209 --> 01:46:24,344
[Vince] Well, it was a Backlot Brawl,
I mean, at WrestleMania

2278
01:46:24,411 --> 01:46:25,913
with "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Goldust.

2279
01:46:25,980 --> 01:46:28,249
-That was different.
-[Ross] Well, yeah, it certainly was.

2280
01:46:28,315 --> 01:46:31,418
But they're gonna be-- these two men,
in a few moments,

2281
01:46:31,485 --> 01:46:34,722
are gonna be beating each other
senseless in a boiler room.

2282
01:46:34,788 --> 01:46:38,826
There's no pads, there's no ring,
it's a concrete block wall,

2283
01:46:39,727 --> 01:46:43,898
concrete floor, all the accoutrements
that you would only find in a boiler room.

2284
01:46:43,964 --> 01:46:45,199
It's so hard to predict.

2285
01:46:45,266 --> 01:46:48,001
I'll say this, neither one is impossible,

2286
01:46:48,067 --> 01:46:50,536
in my opinion, to come out without injury.

2287
01:46:50,603 --> 01:46:52,973
[Mr. Perfect] Somebody's career
could definitely be ended tonight.

2288
01:46:53,040 --> 01:46:55,576
And I think Mankind
has the Undertaker's number.

2289
01:46:55,643 --> 01:46:56,844
[Vince] He could very well.

2290
01:46:56,911 --> 01:46:59,679
He has to a certain extent,
thus far, certainly more so

2291
01:46:59,746 --> 01:47:02,683
than any other WWE Superstar.

2292
01:47:02,750 --> 01:47:06,519
Indeed, Mankind shows very little respect
for The Undertaker.

2293
01:47:06,587 --> 01:47:10,758
And there, Paul Bearer,
who during the free for all

2294
01:47:11,258 --> 01:47:15,728
had a number of salient comments
to say about possession of the urn.

2295
01:47:15,795 --> 01:47:18,999
[Ross] He certainly did, and he--
and he-- and he directed those comments

2296
01:47:19,066 --> 01:47:22,036
to The Undertaker primarily
in the interview we had the opportunity

2297
01:47:22,102 --> 01:47:23,536
to conduct in the ring.

2298
01:47:23,603 --> 01:47:26,407
I think Paul Bearer, quite frankly,
is very, very concerned

2299
01:47:26,473 --> 01:47:30,544
for The Undertaker, more in this matchup,
and perhaps rightfully so.

2300
01:47:30,611 --> 01:47:33,179
[Vince] And holding that sacred vessel
for The Undertaker,

2301
01:47:33,246 --> 01:47:36,650
as the match now is ready to begin,
ladies and gentlemen.

2302
01:47:38,117 --> 01:47:39,286
[Undertaker] Wait.

2303
01:47:42,523 --> 01:47:44,357
[crowd cheering]

2304
01:47:53,334 --> 01:47:57,137
[Vince]
Mankind already in the boiler room.

2305
01:48:16,190 --> 01:48:17,324
A little cautious.

2306
01:48:21,362 --> 01:48:23,130
[machinery whirring]

2307
01:48:27,468 --> 01:48:28,469
[door slams]

2308
01:48:33,007 --> 01:48:36,442
[Mr. Perfect] Can't imagine being
a cameraman assigned this task.

2309
01:48:39,079 --> 01:48:40,380
[metal clanking]

2310
01:48:43,150 --> 01:48:45,152
[Vince] The Undertaker
beginning to look…

2311
01:48:49,790 --> 01:48:50,958
for Mankind.

2312
01:48:58,365 --> 01:49:01,701
He could be above, he could be
behind one of those huge boilers.

2313
01:49:02,402 --> 01:49:03,637
He could be anywhere.

2314
01:49:06,306 --> 01:49:11,111
[Ross] Well, we know conclusively,
Mankind is in that boiler room someplace.

2315
01:49:26,326 --> 01:49:30,597
[Vince] We are witnessing
a relatively cautious Undertaker.

2316
01:49:33,700 --> 01:49:34,701
He's found him.

2317
01:49:35,768 --> 01:49:38,839
[Mr. Perfect] I think-- I think
The Undertaker is scared, McMahon.

2318
01:49:38,906 --> 01:49:40,773
[machinery whirring]

2319
01:49:48,648 --> 01:49:49,650
[Vince] No.

2320
01:49:56,690 --> 01:50:00,326
You hear the whirring of those turbines

2321
01:50:00,393 --> 01:50:02,963
and-- oh, there's our first look at…

2322
01:50:08,201 --> 01:50:09,902
that massive boiler room.

2323
01:50:15,308 --> 01:50:18,010
Undertaker, looking at-- wait, oh, no.

2324
01:50:18,077 --> 01:50:20,347
[crowd cheering]

2325
01:50:23,116 --> 01:50:24,117

02:04:13,679 --> 02:04:17,116
[Vince] Mankind,
just a few feet from the exit door.

2422
02:04:20,585 --> 02:04:21,587
[Mr. Perfect] Oh.

2423
02:04:28,561 --> 02:04:32,130
[Vince] Whoever gets out
of this boiler room has the advantage.

2424
02:04:32,197 --> 02:04:35,034
[crowd cheering]

2425
02:04:35,101 --> 02:04:36,335
[Mankind grunts]

2426
02:04:40,505 --> 02:04:43,476
[Vince] That exit door leads
into the locker room area,

2427
02:04:44,509 --> 02:04:47,080
which then leads into the arena.

2428
02:04:47,714 --> 02:04:50,983
And The Undertaker's just about ready
to go through the exit door.

2429
02:04:52,050 --> 02:04:53,119
[Undertaker grunts]

2430
02:05:01,326 --> 02:05:03,463
[Vince] We've never witnessed
anything-- oh.

2431
02:05:03,529 --> 02:05:06,531
[crowd cheering]

2432
02:05:17,076 --> 02:05:19,245
[Vince] The Undertaker through the door.

2433
02:05:20,946 --> 02:05:21,947
No.

2434
02:05:25,518 --> 02:05:26,853
[Ross] Unbelievable.

2435
02:05:29,088 --> 02:05:30,156
Oh.

2436
02:05:30,223 --> 02:05:32,224
[screaming]

2437
02:05:35,394 --> 02:05:36,629
[grunting]

2438
02:05:36,696 --> 02:05:39,699
[crowd cheering]

2439
02:05:43,268 --> 02:05:47,040
[Mankind speaking indistinctly]

2440
02:05:59,184 --> 02:06:02,522
[speaking indistinctly]

2441
02:06:03,955 --> 02:06:05,023
[man] Hey, hey, hey.

2442
02:06:05,090 --> 02:06:06,325
Hey, hey, hey.

2443
02:06:06,392 --> 02:06:08,728
[overlapping chatter]

2444
02:06:19,304 --> 02:06:20,306
[man] Come on.

2445
02:06:20,373 --> 02:06:21,741
[Vince] Mankind has barricaded the door.

2446
02:06:21,808 --> 02:06:24,076
[overlapping chatter]

2447
02:06:24,143 --> 02:06:25,143
[man] Come on.

2448
02:06:25,210 --> 02:06:26,212
Come on.

2449
02:06:26,279 --> 02:06:29,281
[overlapping chatter]

2450
02:06:33,251 --> 02:06:34,253
[Ross] Oh.

2451
02:06:34,654 --> 02:06:36,089
The power of The Undertaker.

2452
02:06:36,155 --> 02:06:39,157
[crowd cheering]

2453
02:06:42,462 --> 02:06:45,464
[overlapping chatter]

2454
02:06:46,531 --> 02:06:50,135
[Vince] Mankind is gonna get
to the entrance of the arena first.

2455
02:06:50,202 --> 02:06:53,205
[overlapping chatter]

2456
02:06:58,111 --> 02:07:00,813
[Vince] Mankind putting whatever he can
in front of The Undertaker,

2457
02:07:00,880 --> 02:07:03,148
just to slow-- oh.

2458
02:07:03,215 --> 02:07:04,217
Oh.

2459
02:07:04,282 --> 02:07:07,286
[overlapping chatter]

2460
02:07:08,087 --> 02:07:09,989
Come on, Mankind, come on!

2461
02:07:10,056 --> 02:07:11,824
[man 2] Come on, Mankind, let's go.

2462
02:07:14,059 --> 02:07:15,495
[man 3] Come on. Mankind!

2463
02:07:15,561 --> 02:07:17,696
[overlapping chatter]

2464
02:07:18,630 --> 02:07:20,465
[Vince] Look out. Oh.

2465
02:07:21,267 --> 02:07:23,135
[Ross] This looks like a prison riot.

2466
02:07:26,705 --> 02:07:28,007
[man w] Come on, Taker.

2467
02:07:28,074 --> 02:07:30,375
-[man 3] Go get him, Taker.
-[man 4] Get up, Taker.

2468
02:07:30,442 --> 02:07:32,745
[Vince] Mankind way ahead
of The Undertaker.

2469
02:07:36,115 --> 02:07:38,617
-[man 5] Come on, Mankind.
-[Vince] Mankind-- oh, no.

2470
02:07:41,920 --> 02:07:43,121
That's hot coffee.

2471
02:07:44,757 --> 02:07:45,758
Mankind…

2472
02:07:47,093 --> 02:07:48,728
[Mr. Perfect] Oh, man.

2473
02:07:50,830 --> 02:07:52,298
[Ross] A scalding hot coffee.

2474
02:07:53,266 --> 02:07:56,835
[man 3] Get up. Get up, get up.
Come on. Get up, Taker.

2475
02:07:56,902 --> 02:07:58,504
[overlapping chatter]

2476
02:08:01,379 --> 02:08:02,370
[man 3] Come on. Get up,

2477
02:08:02,454 --> 02:08:03,942
Taker, go get him.

2478
02:08:04,009 --> 02:08:06,179
[Vine] Mankind is gonna
come through these doors.

2479
02:08:06,245 --> 02:08:08,114
Mankind is gonna come into the arena.

2480
02:08:08,181 --> 02:08:11,183
[crowd chatter]

2481
02:08:12,817 --> 02:08:16,656
[Vince] Mankind is gonna make it
to the ring first.

2482
02:08:16,722 --> 02:08:17,757
There he is.

2483
02:08:18,089 --> 02:08:19,892
No, he's waiting for The Undertaker.

2484
02:08:19,959 --> 02:08:23,228
He's waiting for The Undertaker
to come into this arena.

2485
02:08:23,295 --> 02:08:25,464
[crowd chatter]

2486
02:08:26,732 --> 02:08:27,732
[Vince] Oh.

2487
02:08:27,933 --> 02:08:29,835
[crowd cheering]

2488
02:08:29,902 --> 02:08:31,704
[Ross] Remember the first man
that gets to the ring,

2489
02:08:32,538 --> 02:08:34,706
gains possession of the urn,
is the winner.

2490
02:08:35,741 --> 02:08:38,311
[Vince] These two men,
have given it their all thus far.

2491
02:08:38,376 --> 02:08:39,844
[Ross] Is that a two-by-four?

2492
02:08:40,713 --> 02:08:41,880
-Oh.
-[Vince] Oh.

2493
02:08:41,947 --> 02:08:43,148
[Ross] Good Lord.

2494
02:08:45,183 --> 02:08:48,521
The Undertaker broke that two-by-four
right across Mankind's back.

2495
02:08:49,054 --> 02:08:51,290
[Vince] As was done
to him in the boiler room.

2496
02:08:51,590 --> 02:08:53,726
What wasn't done to The Undertaker?

2497
02:08:56,661 --> 02:08:59,098
[Ross] It's amazing
either of these men could even stand.

2498
02:08:59,165 --> 02:09:01,200
[crowd chatter]

2499
02:09:06,638 --> 02:09:09,508
[Vince] Mankind,
trying to get to the ring first.

2500
02:09:09,575 --> 02:09:13,079
If he does, if he takes possession
of that urn, he's the victor.

2501
02:09:14,112 --> 02:09:16,915
[crowd chatter]

2502
02:09:16,982 --> 02:09:18,651
[Mr. Perfect] I thought I've seen it all.

2503
02:09:19,684 --> 02:09:20,686
[Vince] No.

2504
02:09:22,088 --> 02:09:23,822
Not until we have seen this.

2505
02:09:28,126 --> 02:09:30,963
[Ross] They're gonna fight around
these monitors that were brought ringside,

2506
02:09:31,030 --> 02:09:33,799
so the fans can see
what was going on in the boiler room.

2507
02:09:33,866 --> 02:09:35,500
That could be dangerous as well.

2508
02:09:42,040 --> 02:09:44,543
[Vince] And unfortunately,

2509
02:09:46,579 --> 02:09:48,013
those monitors-- oh.

2510
02:09:48,080 --> 02:09:51,884
Being used or attempted
to being used as weapons.

2511
02:09:54,019 --> 02:09:56,656
Mankind-- The Undertaker now is going up.

2512
02:10:00,826 --> 02:10:03,929
Mankind reaching for a handful
of hair pulls him backed down.

2513
02:10:04,297 --> 02:10:06,598
Grabs his face to the apron, and again.

2514
02:10:06,665 --> 02:10:08,200
[overlapping chatter]

2515
02:10:11,904 --> 02:10:15,974
[crowd chanting]
Rest in peace! Rest in peace

2516
02:10:16,909 --> 02:10:19,344
-[Vince] Mankind, oh.
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh, God.

2517
02:10:23,148 --> 02:10:25,651
[Ross] Mankind exposing
the concrete floor here.

2518
02:10:29,422 --> 02:10:31,956
[Vince] And Paul Bearer guarding the urn.

2519
02:10:32,023 --> 02:10:33,893
There's nothing Paul Bearer
will be able to do

2520
02:10:33,959 --> 02:10:37,062
if Mankind gets his mitts on that urn.

2521
02:10:37,129 --> 02:10:39,031
The Undertaker now being set up.

2522
02:10:39,098 --> 02:10:41,166
He's set up on concrete now.

2523
02:10:41,666 --> 02:10:44,103
And Mankind hits his-- oh.

2524
02:10:45,404 --> 02:10:50,041
Mankind is about
to take possession of the urn.

2525
02:10:50,108 --> 02:10:53,379
Mankind has been
the nemesis of The Undertaker.

2526
02:10:53,446 --> 02:10:55,714
And look at the look
on Paul Bearer's face,

2527
02:10:55,781 --> 02:10:57,717
beginning to pace back and forth.

2528
02:10:57,782 --> 02:10:59,518
[Ross] Another thing Paul Bearer
is concern here with,

2529
02:10:59,585 --> 02:11:03,522
he's gonna be face to face momentarily,
apparently, with Mankind.

2530
02:11:04,456 --> 02:11:05,558
[Vince] Mankind…

2531
02:11:08,227 --> 02:11:11,263
seconds away from being declared

2532
02:11:11,330 --> 02:11:13,632
the victor-- no,
The Undertaker has his ankle.

2533
02:11:13,699 --> 02:11:15,534
Undertaker has Mankind's ankle.

2534
02:11:15,601 --> 02:11:17,103
[crowd chatter]

2535
02:11:17,969 --> 02:11:19,504
[man] Don't let go.

2536
02:11:24,210 --> 02:11:26,344
[Vince] The Undertaker and Mankind,

2537
02:11:26,411 --> 02:11:30,415
pummeling each other
into oblivion here at SummerSlam.

2538
02:11:30,849 --> 02:11:32,518
[Mr. Perfect] Their bodies
have just gotta be aching.

2539
02:11:32,585 --> 02:11:37,455
[Vince] And The Undertaker
on the apron now, hammering away.

2540
02:11:38,590 --> 02:11:41,893
Undertaker, Mankind going at it,
on the apron to the ring.

2541
02:11:41,960 --> 02:11:44,996
Who's gonna step inside
and take possession of the urn?

2542
02:11:48,968 --> 02:11:52,504
Mankind and The Undertaker,

2543
02:11:52,605 --> 02:11:58,244
neither individual
will give up and-- whoa.

2544
02:11:58,309 --> 02:12:00,780
[Ross] Oh, my God, did you hear that?

2545
02:12:02,313 --> 02:12:03,315
Right on the concrete.

2546
02:12:03,382 --> 02:12:05,183
[Vince] Nothing will stop
The Undertaker now.

2547
02:12:05,250 --> 02:12:07,353
Nothing will stop The Undertaker.

2548
02:12:07,853 --> 02:12:12,525
All he has to do is step over the top rope
and take possession of the urn.

2549
02:12:12,590 --> 02:12:16,462
Mankind is-- well,
I thought he was out of it. Mankind.

2550
02:12:16,529 --> 02:12:18,129
[Ross] Mankind may have broken his back.

2551
02:12:18,196 --> 02:12:21,299
What a hellacious fall from the ring.

2552
02:12:21,366 --> 02:12:24,737
Now, The Undertaker is gonna gain
possession of the urn, it is over.

2553
02:12:25,603 --> 02:12:27,173
[Vince] And The Undertaker,

2554
02:12:29,842 --> 02:12:33,779
on one knee as we've seen
so many, many times before.

2555
02:12:33,846 --> 02:12:38,416
Yes, The Undertaker,
the victor here tonight at SummerSlam.

2556
02:12:39,852 --> 02:12:41,053
[Ross] Give him the urn.

2557
02:12:43,489 --> 02:12:45,424
[Vince] Wait a-- wait a minute.

2558
02:12:46,558 --> 02:12:50,795
Give him the-- Mankind,
driving that Mandible Claw

2559
02:12:50,862 --> 02:12:53,165
into the gullet of The Undertaker.

2560
02:12:55,000 --> 02:12:56,501
[Mr. Perfect]
Look at-- Paul Bearer's laughing.

2561
02:12:56,568 --> 02:12:58,003
Paul Bearer's laughing.

2562
02:13:01,139 --> 02:13:05,277
[Vince] That paralyzing hold being again
placed on The Undertaker,

2563
02:13:05,344 --> 02:13:07,513
as we've seen so many times before,

2564
02:13:07,580 --> 02:13:11,584
and I don't understand it all,
the attitude of Paul Bearer.

2565
02:13:12,050 --> 02:13:13,486
[Mr. Perfect] Undertaker's out.

2566
02:13:14,085 --> 02:13:17,690
[Ross] Oh, my God. Paul-- what?

2567
02:13:21,960 --> 02:13:24,597
-[Vince] Look at this.
-[Ross] Oh, say it ain't so.

2568
02:13:25,063 --> 02:13:27,132
[Vince] Oh, The Undertaker just sat up.

2569
02:13:28,634 --> 02:13:31,570
-[Mankind speaking indistinctly]
-[referee] Stay out of it.

2570
02:13:32,771 --> 02:13:34,106
Stay out of it.

2571
02:13:34,173 --> 02:13:36,509
[Vince] Why? Why is this going on?

2572
02:13:38,710 --> 02:13:39,777
What--

2573
02:13:41,112 --> 02:13:42,615
What has possessed

2574
02:13:43,816 --> 02:13:47,887
Paul Bearer after everything he said.

2575
02:13:47,952 --> 02:13:49,588
[Ross] Undertaker is out of it.

2576
02:13:49,655 --> 02:13:50,656
[Vince] Oh.

2577
02:13:50,723 --> 02:13:51,723
[Mr. Perfect] What?

2578
02:13:52,458 --> 02:13:53,959
[Ross] Oh, stop that.

2579
02:13:54,026 --> 02:13:56,061
Stop that. That's hideous.

2580
02:13:56,128 --> 02:13:57,795
[crowd jeering]

2581
02:14:00,833 --> 02:14:02,535
Oh, yes!

2582
02:14:03,001 --> 02:14:04,702
Oh, yes!

2583
02:14:06,004 --> 02:14:07,005
Yes!

2584
02:14:07,673 --> 02:14:08,741
[laughs]

2585
02:14:12,777 --> 02:14:16,781
[Vince] And The Undertaker beginning
to crawl towards Paul Bearer.

2586
02:14:18,017 --> 02:14:19,585
[Mankind speaking indistinctly]

2587
02:14:20,085 --> 02:14:21,554
[referee] What are you doing?

2588
02:14:22,487 --> 02:14:25,223
[Vince] Undertaker,
inching over towards Paul Bearer.

2589
02:14:28,727 --> 02:14:29,962
[Mankind speaks indistinctly]

2590
02:14:30,228 --> 02:14:32,531

behind over six years of legacy,

here before we thought was inseparable.

about The Undertaker.

That urn just slapped against his skull.

2616
02:15:59,317 --> 02:16:01,085
[Vince] Almost more than that

2617
02:16:02,553 --> 02:16:05,290
is the treachery of Paul Bearer,

2618
02:16:05,691 --> 02:16:07,992

we proved a lot of things,
we proved that Vader

2669
02:20:11,636 --> 02:20:14,473
can pin you for a three-count
because he did it last month.

2670

because he did it on Raw and now,

tonight at SummerSlam,
we're gonna prove that Vader's

it's the challenger,
from The Rocky Mountains,

we have asked ourselves the question,

02:21:40,759 --> 02:21:42,961
and we certainly don't have the answer.

02:21:44,395 --> 02:21:47,766
is there anything Shawn Michaels
can do to prevent

2703
02:21:51,636 --> 02:21:53,672
[Ross] I don't know if there's any
one thing specifically Shawn can do,

2704
02:21:53,739 --> 02:21:58,443
there are few things he can do to increase
or to prove his chances of retaining,

2705
02:21:58,510 --> 02:22:01,847
as you look at this phenomenal crowd
that's gathered here at the Gund Arena.

2706
02:22:01,913 --> 02:22:04,149
One thing Shawn can do is extend Vader.

2707
02:22:04,216 --> 02:22:06,952
I think the magic number maybe 30 minutes.

2708
02:22:07,019 --> 02:22:09,387
Past 30 minutes,
Shawn has a great opportunity

2709
02:22:09,454 --> 02:22:11,922
because of his great
cardiovascular conditioning.

2710
02:22:11,990 --> 02:22:15,293
The thing Shawn cannot do
and that's to let Vader dictate

and one way only.

being mobbed here.

2755
02:24:31,529 --> 02:24:33,765

2775

[Vince] And on the night,
in which we have seen a Boiler Room Brawl,

2776
02:25:39,130 --> 02:25:42,600
we've seen ropes break
as we did in a Free For All players

2777
02:25:42,701 --> 02:25:44,502
for the pay-per-view with Yokozuna.

2778
02:25:44,569 --> 02:25:49,007
We've seen all kind of bizarre
and unusual things here tonight.

2779
02:25:49,073 --> 02:25:53,011
Will we see the WWE title
change hands in the past months,

2780
02:25:53,078 --> 02:25:54,346
just keep right on top.

2781
02:25:54,412 --> 02:25:55,447
Oh, yeah.

2782
02:25:55,512 --> 02:25:58,617
[Ross] You know, it's 2:30 a.m.
in the morning in the United Kingdom

2783
02:25:58,683 --> 02:26:01,853
and I guarantee those folks
have got a heck of a wake-up call

2784
02:26:01,920 --> 02:26:04,623
with that entrance
from the and only Shawn Michaels.

2785
02:26:05,056 --> 02:26:09,127
But the question is,
how good can Shawn Michaels be?

2786
02:26:09,194 --> 02:26:11,229
How-- really how good is he?

2787
02:26:11,296 --> 02:26:14,399
We're gonna find out right here tonight
against this monster.

2788
02:26:14,466 --> 02:26:18,032
This man-ster, half man, half monster,
The Man They Call Vader.

2789
02:26:18,132 --> 02:26:19,704
-[Vince] Shawn Michaels--
-[Mr. Perfect] Well, I'm happy

2790
02:26:19,770 --> 02:26:22,039
Shawn Michaels' entrance was great
because it's over now.

2791
02:26:22,107 --> 02:26:24,743
-[crowd cheering]
-[Vince] Michaels, living the dream.

2792
02:26:25,443 --> 02:26:28,779
Yes, Shawn Michaels,
having his dreams come true

2793
02:26:28,847 --> 02:26:30,681
at WrestleMania with a victory

2794
02:26:30,749 --> 02:26:33,418
-over Bret "The Hitman" Hart.
-[bell ringing]

2795
02:26:33,484 --> 02:26:36,788
[Vince] And has been the WWE Champion
since that occasion.

2796
02:26:36,855 --> 02:26:39,291
Will his reign end here tonight?

2797
02:26:39,357 --> 02:26:40,457
Oh, my goodness.

2798
02:26:40,725 --> 02:26:42,927
[Mr. Perfect] Michaels has made
a list of who's who

2799
02:26:42,993 --> 02:26:48,198
since winning the WWE Championship,
but none as imposing,

2800
02:26:48,266 --> 02:26:52,037
none as dangerous
as the man he is facing tonight.

2801
02:26:52,103 --> 02:26:53,872
[crowd chatter]

2802
02:26:54,839 --> 02:26:57,108
[Vince] And this 400-pound monster,

2803
02:26:57,175 --> 02:27:00,110
Vader, who is quick as a cat,

2804
02:27:00,645 --> 02:27:03,581
great agility, unbelievable strength,

2805
02:27:03,982 --> 02:27:06,951
and only perhaps tested
in the stamina department.

2806
02:27:07,886 --> 02:27:10,355
Michaels, however,
with extraordinary athleticism,

2807
02:27:10,422 --> 02:27:11,823
perhaps one of the greatest,

2808
02:27:12,090 --> 02:27:14,626
maybe the most athletic
WWE Champion of all time.

2809
02:27:14,693 --> 02:27:17,362
And look at this, Vader,
unloading on Shawn Michaels.

2810
02:27:17,429 --> 02:27:18,697
Michaels must move.

2811
02:27:18,762 --> 02:27:22,267
He cannot let Vader hammer
on him like this at any time in the match,

2812
02:27:22,333 --> 02:27:23,501
much less the beginning of it.

2813
02:27:23,568 --> 02:27:25,570
[Ross]
Shawn cannot become a stationary target.

2814
02:27:25,636 --> 02:27:27,271
Shawn's gotta protect his body.

2815
02:27:27,339 --> 02:27:30,275
Vader's gonna try to take
those body shots,

2816
02:27:30,341 --> 02:27:34,179
bust those ribs up,
destroy Shawn Michaels-- oh, my!

2817
02:27:34,244 --> 02:27:35,913
From the inside out.

2818
02:27:35,980 --> 02:27:39,951
And then, I think, we'll see Vader work
on Shawn Michaels' legs

2819
02:27:40,018 --> 02:27:41,953
to trying to take away the speed
and quickness,

2820
02:27:42,020 --> 02:27:44,059
and to take away Sweet Chin Music.

2821
02:27:44,159 --> 02:27:45,623
[Mr. Perfect] You know,
I've always been the one to say

2822
02:27:45,689 --> 02:27:47,859
a great wrestler can beat
a big man anytime.

2823
02:27:47,926 --> 02:27:49,427
[Vince] Oh, wait a minute.
Wait a minute, watch this. Yes.

2824
02:27:49,493 --> 02:27:50,862
Nice takedown by Michaels.

2825
02:27:50,929 --> 02:27:53,865
Michaels off the rope,
Michaels hits the target, how about that?

2826
02:27:55,065 --> 02:27:56,234
I've never seen that before.

2827
02:27:56,301 --> 02:27:57,335
Shawn Michaels now.

2828
02:27:57,402 --> 02:27:59,938
Go ahead, Michaels--
Look at his feet, look at this.

2829
02:28:00,003 --> 02:28:02,741
Don't cover! He's covering up.
That's right-- that's how he can counter.

2830
02:28:02,806 --> 02:28:04,376
Vader's in trouble already.

2831
02:28:06,243 --> 02:28:09,146
And Vader-- I can't believe
what has happened here.

2832
02:28:09,214 --> 02:28:10,482
Michaels connecting,

2833
02:28:10,849 --> 02:28:13,518
Michaels hammering away
with those rights and lefts.

2834
02:28:13,585 --> 02:28:16,421
And Shawn Michaels has taken it
to The Man They Call Vader.

2835
02:28:16,488 --> 02:28:18,789
[Ross] Michaels is showing
he's not intimated,

2836
02:28:18,857 --> 02:28:21,725
but Shawn, remember to win this match,
he's got to be quick,

2837
02:28:21,793 --> 02:28:25,363
he's got to wrestle Vader,
and keep the big monster down.

2838
02:28:25,430 --> 02:28:27,132
[Vince] Michaels
has been known to have more guts

2839
02:28:27,198 --> 02:28:29,167
than brains to a certain extent.
Oh, look at this.

2840
02:28:29,333 --> 02:28:30,601
And Michaels now,

2841
02:28:30,802 --> 02:28:32,404
working on the kidney area.

2842
02:28:33,037 --> 02:28:35,206
And-- oh, takes one of his own.

2843
02:28:35,273 --> 02:28:39,010
As long as Shawn Michaels
is dishing out the offense,

2844
02:28:39,077 --> 02:28:40,945
he's in control,
when it comes-- look at this.

2845
02:28:41,011 --> 02:28:43,181
-And a nice maneuver there!
-[crowd cheering]

2846
02:28:43,248 --> 02:28:45,150
[Ross] That's great focus
by Shawn Michaels.

2847
02:28:45,216 --> 02:28:47,819
Shawn Michaels went south,
Vader went north.

2848
02:28:49,253 --> 02:28:53,491
[Vince] Again, Shawn Michaels,
using his God-given gifts

2849
02:28:53,558 --> 02:28:55,460
plus that all-important--
right in the middle. Here we go.

2850
02:28:55,527 --> 02:28:57,929
Nice maneuver there again
on the part of Shawn Michaels.

2851
02:28:57,996 --> 02:29:01,399
Michaels with great strategy
thus far as relates to Vader.

2852
02:29:01,466 --> 02:29:03,902
[Ross] That baseball slide
took some air out of Vader.

2853
02:29:04,569 --> 02:29:06,404
Cornette's gotta get Vader regrouped here.

2854
02:29:06,471 --> 02:29:08,373
-[Vince] Here comes Michaels!
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh, incredible.

2855
02:29:08,439 --> 02:29:09,808
[crowd cheering]

2856
02:29:09,874 --> 02:29:11,176
[Vince] Unbelievable.

2857
02:29:11,242 --> 02:29:14,946
[Ross] A crossbody over the top,
and Shawn Michaels is fighting.

2858
02:29:15,012 --> 02:29:16,714
He's fighting for his life.

2859
02:29:17,515 --> 02:29:21,820
[Vince] And Shawn Michaels
wants to retain the WWE title.

2860
02:29:21,886 --> 02:29:26,291
Yeah, The Heartbreak Kid,
Shawn Michaels in control.

2861
02:29:30,360 --> 02:29:32,262
And Shawn now, what's he gonna do?

2862
02:29:32,497 --> 02:29:34,399
Watch out. He's measuring Vader again.

2863
02:29:34,466 --> 02:29:36,367
And here he comes right back out there.

2864
02:29:36,434 --> 02:29:38,436
Oh, uh-oh. And look-- oh!

2865
02:29:38,502 --> 02:29:40,104
[crowd cheering]

2866
02:29:40,637 --> 02:29:44,074
[Vince] Michaels,
with a little help there,

2867
02:29:44,142 --> 02:29:45,210
pulling Vader back in.

2868
02:29:45,276 --> 02:29:47,029
Shawn going right up to the top rope,
he knows what he's doing.

2869
02:29:47,212 --> 02:29:48,847
Yes, double axe, nicely done.

2870
02:29:48,913 --> 02:29:51,216
[Ross] There you go,
that's where you want him, Shawn.

2871
02:29:51,649 --> 02:29:54,452
[Mr. Perfect] Shawn Michaels in the best
shape I've ever seen him, McMahon,

2872
02:29:54,519 --> 02:29:57,622
but I don't know if he's got what it takes
to be the champ over Vader.

2873
02:29:57,689 --> 02:29:59,657
[Vince] And Shawn Michaels
going up and-- wait a minute.

2874
02:29:59,724 --> 02:30:02,092
Yes. Beautiful maneuver.

2875
02:30:02,160 --> 02:30:04,628
[Ross] Hurricanrana by Shawn Michaels,
taking Vader down.

2876
02:30:04,696 --> 02:30:08,433
Michaels giving up at least 234 pounds.

2877
02:30:09,600 --> 02:30:12,403
[Vince] And Michaels now,
wanting Vader to get up.

2878
02:30:12,470 --> 02:30:15,707
Shawn Michaels measuring
The Man They Call Vader.

2879
02:30:15,773 --> 02:30:17,509
Look at this. Right up on him.

2880
02:30:17,574 --> 02:30:19,010
Oh, my goodness.

2881
02:30:19,077 --> 02:30:21,512
And Michaels really taking a risk here.

2882
02:30:21,579 --> 02:30:23,780
Is he in control or is it Vader
in control?

2883
02:30:23,848 --> 02:30:25,315
Look at that maneuver.

2884
02:30:25,383 --> 02:30:27,151
[crowd cheering]

2885
02:30:27,217 --> 02:30:28,586
[Vince] Unbelievable.

2886
02:30:28,653 --> 02:30:30,889
[Ross] What a great maneuver
by Shawn Michaels.

2887
02:30:30,955 --> 02:30:32,457
That was a leverage move.

2888
02:30:32,524 --> 02:30:34,759
Shawn Michaels outsmarted Vader

2889
02:30:34,826 --> 02:30:38,429
and then utilized his leverage
to get Vader up

2890
02:30:38,496 --> 02:30:40,297
and over and outside the ring.

2891
02:30:40,365 --> 02:30:42,233
Vader's got to be very frustrated
right now.

2892
02:30:42,300 --> 02:30:44,168
[Vince] And wait a minute. Here we go.

2893
02:30:44,234 --> 02:30:46,337
Oh, look that same maneuver he did before!

2894
02:30:46,404 --> 02:30:49,340
Michaels setting him up
for a form of the Frankensteiner.

2895
02:30:49,407 --> 02:30:51,975
-Shawn Michaels-- oh!
-[Ross] Oh, my God.

2896
02:30:52,043 --> 02:30:53,610
Powerbomb on the outside.

2897
02:30:54,212 --> 02:30:57,248
That's how quickly this whole complexion
of the match can change,

2898
02:30:57,314 --> 02:30:59,951
one big power move by Vader and the--

2899
02:31:00,018 --> 02:31:02,520
and the whole-- the whole thing changes.

2900
02:31:03,321 --> 02:31:05,256
[Vince] And indeed, the complexion,

2901
02:31:05,323 --> 02:31:08,458
the whole momentum of the match
has completely shifted.

2902
02:31:08,526 --> 02:31:10,994
Vader pummeling Shawn Michaels.

2903
02:31:11,062 --> 02:31:12,463
-[crowd chatter]
-[woman] Shawn!

2904
02:31:12,529 --> 02:31:13,865
Shawn, get up baby.

2905
02:31:13,931 --> 02:31:15,867
[crowd chatter]

2906
02:31:15,934 --> 02:31:18,570
[Vince] We'll go back and take a look
at this unbelievable maneuver here.

2907
02:31:18,636 --> 02:31:19,837
Look at Michaels.

2908
02:31:20,338 --> 02:31:22,106
Michaels having a presence of mind

2909
02:31:22,206 --> 02:31:23,574
that Vader was gonna
dump him over the top.

2910
02:31:23,641 --> 02:31:26,476
Michaels hanging on and look,
skinning the cat, coming right back up.

2911
02:31:26,544 --> 02:31:27,545
Unbelievable.

2912
02:31:27,612 --> 02:31:30,280
[Ross] So what it was is a victory roll
over the top.

2913
02:31:30,348 --> 02:31:32,050
And then watch this maneuver right here.

2914
02:31:32,116 --> 02:31:36,520
[Vince] Look at this, a little success
earlier and Vader just so strong.

2915
02:31:36,588 --> 02:31:38,523
Let's listen up as he drops him down.

2916
02:31:39,056 --> 02:31:40,525
[crowd cheering]

2917
02:31:41,526 --> 02:31:45,029
[Vince] And that's exactly where we see
Shawn Michaels getting himself back up.

2918
02:31:45,096 --> 02:31:46,230
[crowd chatter]

2919
02:31:46,297 --> 02:31:48,832
[Ross] Vader is gonna get Michaels
back in the ring.

2920
02:31:48,900 --> 02:31:51,536
Vader cannot win
the WWE title by count-out.

2921
02:31:51,603 --> 02:31:52,904
[Mr. Perfect]
And he knows what's going on, Ross.

2922
02:31:52,971 --> 02:31:55,573
Don't worry about it.
He'll get him back in the ring.

2923
02:31:55,640 --> 02:31:57,542
[crowd chatter]

2924
02:31:59,476 --> 02:32:01,045
[Vince] Michaels scooped up.

2925
02:32:01,112 --> 02:32:02,380
This is not good.

2926
02:32:03,547 --> 02:32:06,184
Vader walking up the steps.
What's he gonna do?

2927
02:32:06,250 --> 02:32:08,019
[Mr. Perfect] Look at that power. That's--

2928
02:32:08,086 --> 02:32:10,054
[Vince] Vader with Shawn Michaels.

2929
02:32:11,723 --> 02:32:14,591
I have no idea what Vader's gonna do
with Michaels now.

2930
02:32:14,659 --> 02:32:15,827
I'm not so sure if Vader knows.

2931
02:32:15,893 --> 02:32:16,994
He dumps him inside.

2932
02:32:17,061 --> 02:32:19,597
He just wanted to show
how strong he was by walking up the steps

2933
02:32:19,663 --> 02:32:21,198
with Michaels across his back.

2934
02:32:21,733 --> 02:32:24,669
[Ross] I think that was a nice message
from Vader to The Kliq.

2935
02:32:24,868 --> 02:32:26,204
"I'm the man here."

2936
02:32:26,270 --> 02:32:28,740
"I'm the biggest,
the baddest bully in the woods."

2937
02:32:29,439 --> 02:32:31,776
[Vince] And indeed,
certainly a message to Shawn Michaels.

2938
02:32:32,476 --> 02:32:35,179
[Mr. Perfect] And you watch how fast
The Kliq changes after Vader beats 'em.

2939
02:32:35,246 --> 02:32:36,780
They'll all be on Vader's side.

2940
02:32:38,282 --> 02:32:40,350
These people just wanna go
with the winner, that's all.

2941
02:32:40,418 --> 02:32:41,953
[Ross] Bad place here.

2942
02:32:42,453 --> 02:32:45,256
Shawn Michaels cannot afford
to be in this corner.

2943
02:32:46,124 --> 02:32:48,292
[Vince] Vader measuring Michaels.

2944
02:32:50,994 --> 02:32:54,265
Hammering away on Shawn Michaels,
The Man They Call Vader.

2945
02:32:54,332 --> 02:32:56,668
Oh, my goodness,
just pummeling on Shawn Michaels.

2946
02:32:56,734 --> 02:32:58,336
[Mr. Perfect] This is what I came to see.

2947
02:32:58,403 --> 02:33:00,003
[crowd booing]

2948
02:33:00,071 --> 02:33:04,876
[Ross] Those body shots are like
getting kicked by a big Hereford bull.

2949
02:33:04,942 --> 02:33:07,945
It's kinda what Vader resembles,
that red face.

2950
02:33:09,580 --> 02:33:11,716
[Vince]
And Vader setting up Shawn Michaels,

2951
02:33:11,783 --> 02:33:13,284
what's he gonna do with him?

2952
02:33:14,585 --> 02:33:16,954
Up goes Michaels very easily.

2953
02:33:17,020 --> 02:33:18,389
[Ross] What a suplex.

2954
02:33:18,922 --> 02:33:20,058
What a suplex.

2955
02:33:20,358 --> 02:33:22,260
All high-impact out on the body.

2956
02:33:22,326 --> 02:33:24,494
[Mr. Perfect] Come on, boy toy,
how about a nip-up? [laughs]

2957
02:33:24,562 --> 02:33:26,597
[Vince] Not now, not with that back.

2958
02:33:27,231 --> 02:33:30,768
Not-- considering the damage has been done
to the back on the outside of the ring

2959
02:33:30,835 --> 02:33:32,904
and Michaels has not been the same sense.

2960
02:33:33,604 --> 02:33:35,907
Vader continuing to attack to the back
a moment ago

2961
02:33:35,973 --> 02:33:39,677
and now chin shoved back,
and Vader gets him with a forearm.

2962
02:33:39,743 --> 02:33:41,612
[Mr. Perfect]
Oh, that will cave your chest in.

2963
02:33:43,146 --> 02:33:45,016
Come on, one! Two!

2964
02:33:45,249 --> 02:33:47,251
[Vince] And again, another huge forearm.

2965
02:33:47,885 --> 02:33:49,087
Come on, move.

2966
02:33:49,153 --> 02:33:51,389
[Ross] If Michaels is stationary,
he's gonna lose.

2967
02:33:51,456 --> 02:33:55,225
Shawn Michaels cannot retain
his title in this position, no way.

2968
02:33:55,293 --> 02:33:56,694
Oh, no!

2969
02:33:56,761 --> 02:33:58,696
[crowd cheering]

2970
02:33:59,831 --> 02:34:02,366
[Vince] Michaels on his feet,
maybe not for long.

2971
02:34:02,433 --> 02:34:04,302
All the way over to the outside.

2972
02:34:06,002 --> 02:34:07,904
[Ross] Vader having his way now.

2973
02:34:07,972 --> 02:34:11,008
[Vince]
Unbelievable torque on the part of Vader.

2974
02:34:11,809 --> 02:34:14,112
[crowd booing]

2975
02:34:14,178 --> 02:34:18,181
[Ross] And Shawn Michaels hit Vader
with a variety of high-risk maneuvers,

2976
02:34:18,249 --> 02:34:20,752
Shawn controlled the tip
on the early going,

2977
02:34:20,818 --> 02:34:22,854
had Vader frustrated and off-balance.

2978
02:34:23,354 --> 02:34:27,492
But since the Vader-- the Vader Bomb--
the powerbomb rather, on the outside,

2979
02:34:27,558 --> 02:34:29,160
Shawn Michaels has not been the same

2980
02:34:29,226 --> 02:34:32,063
and may not be the same
for the balance of this match.

2981
02:34:32,130 --> 02:34:35,198
[Vince] I wouldn't count
Shawn Michaels out quite that quickly.

2982
02:34:36,267 --> 02:34:40,471
We have seen him indeed possess
the heart of a champion.

2983
02:34:41,472 --> 02:34:45,176
If it comes to an end here tonight,
as he said himself, "So be it."

2984
02:34:45,243 --> 02:34:48,279
But it won't be because
he hasn't given it everything he had.

2985
02:34:48,346 --> 02:34:50,615
[Ross] Oh, I agree with that,
but the human body

2986
02:34:50,680 --> 02:34:52,517
can only absorb so much.

2987
02:34:52,582 --> 02:34:55,286
[Vince] All right.
Michaels set up in the other side now.

2988
02:34:55,353 --> 02:34:57,588
-Oh!
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh. Good grief.

2989
02:34:57,654 --> 02:34:59,422
[Vince] Again, more damage to the back

2990
02:34:59,490 --> 02:35:02,193
and Vader shot Michaels sky high,

2991
02:35:02,260 --> 02:35:05,730
that back body drop, and now taunting
this capacity crowd.

2992
02:35:05,797 --> 02:35:07,430
[crowd booing]

2993
02:35:07,498 --> 02:35:09,065
[Ross] Great elevation there.

2994
02:35:09,199 --> 02:35:10,802
Shawn had to be eight,
nine feet in the air.

2995
02:35:10,868 --> 02:35:12,369
[Cornette] You are the man.

2996
02:35:12,436 --> 02:35:13,503
Stay on him.

2997
02:35:13,571 --> 02:35:15,106
[Mr. Perfect] You know,
I was actually thinking about

2998
02:35:15,172 --> 02:35:16,541
getting back in the ring sooner or later.

2999
02:35:16,607 --> 02:35:19,010
But now after seeing Vader
destroy Shawn Michaels,

3000
02:35:19,076 --> 02:35:20,377
I'll just stay right here.

3001
02:35:21,813 --> 02:35:26,449
[Vince] Vader, dominating the matchup
with Shawn Michaels at the moment.

3002
02:35:28,019 --> 02:35:30,454
And-- uh-oh,
this doesn't look good as well.

3003
02:35:30,520 --> 02:35:31,922
[Ross] With a suplex coming.

3004
02:35:31,989 --> 02:35:33,491
[Vince] Vader, playing around--
and wait a minute,

3005
02:35:33,558 --> 02:35:36,627
Michaels, hammering away,
and yanked in the hair by Vader.

3006
02:35:37,061 --> 02:35:38,696
Oh, a shot to the midsection.

3007
02:35:39,697 --> 02:35:44,035
The official did not see that hair pull
obviously on the opposite side.

3008
02:35:44,234 --> 02:35:46,604
And again, now Vader sets up
Michaels in his-- wait a minute,

3009
02:35:46,671 --> 02:35:49,240
Michaels is gonna--
Michaels with a right hand.

3010
02:35:49,306 --> 02:35:50,440
[crowd cheering]

3011
02:35:50,508 --> 02:35:52,577
[Vince]
Michaels slugging it out with Vader.

3012
02:35:53,243 --> 02:35:56,480
[Ross] Michaels hit Vader with everything
he had in his body…

3013
02:35:56,547 --> 02:35:57,849
-[Vince] Yup.
-[Ross] …rights and lefts,

3014
02:35:57,914 --> 02:35:59,984
and Vader didn't even go down to a knee.

3015
02:36:00,418 --> 02:36:05,155
[Vince] And I think Shawn's vision
might be impaired there, and look out.

3016
02:36:05,223 --> 02:36:07,958
[Ross] There he goes,
quicken the pace-- oh.

3017
02:36:08,025 --> 02:36:09,927
-[Vince] Oh, forget that.
-[Ross] Oh, so much for pace.

3018
02:36:09,993 --> 02:36:11,662
[Mr. Perfect]
All right. Let's go home, Vader.

3019
02:36:11,729 --> 02:36:12,864
Get him out of here.

3020
02:36:13,231 --> 02:36:15,198
-[crowd cheering]
-[Ross] That was a clothesline.

3021
02:36:15,900 --> 02:36:17,768
That would've rocked The Rocky Mountains.

3022
02:36:17,835 --> 02:36:21,505
What a-- what power, scary power.

3023
02:36:22,840 --> 02:36:25,676
[Vince] There's never been a dog
quite like this big dog,

3024
02:36:25,743 --> 02:36:27,845
and certainly everyone here in Cleveland

3025
02:36:28,546 --> 02:36:30,615
knows about big dogs, but look at this.

3026
02:36:31,148 --> 02:36:32,917
He's got Michaels up in the air.

3027
02:36:32,984 --> 02:36:37,188
Michaels from behind again,
and again a clip to the jaw, another one.

3028
02:36:38,555 --> 02:36:41,425
Michaels trying to get everything
he can behind.

3029
02:36:41,492 --> 02:36:43,961
Here comes Shawn Michaels
and Michaels over the top rope.

3030
02:36:44,395 --> 02:36:46,597
No. Michaels trying to hang on.

3031
02:36:47,465 --> 02:36:48,900
Michaels coming right back up.

3032
02:36:48,966 --> 02:36:50,734
Vader kept-- oh, wait a minute,

3033
02:36:51,335 --> 02:36:54,939
Vader trying to pull Michaels back up.
Michaels--

3034
02:36:55,038 --> 02:36:56,707
[Mr. Perfect]
Look at the strength of Vader.

3035
02:36:56,774 --> 02:36:58,309
[Vince] Unbelievable power.

3036
02:36:58,376 --> 02:36:59,777
[Mr. Perfect] Oh.

3037
02:37:00,110 --> 02:37:01,112
[Vince] Forget about it.

3038
02:37:01,178 --> 02:37:07,484
Now Vader's starting simply
to methodically destroy Shawn Michaels.

3039
02:37:07,551 --> 02:37:09,886
[Ross] It's a physical dissection
of the WWE Champion.

3040
02:37:09,954 --> 02:37:13,591
-[referee] One, two--
-[Vince] No, not yet, not yet. No way.

3041
02:37:13,658 --> 02:37:15,626
[Mr. Perfect]
Vader's just manhandling Shawn Michaels.

3042
02:37:15,693 --> 02:37:17,028
It's the boy against the man.

3043
02:37:17,094 --> 02:37:18,462
Take a good look at it.

3044
02:37:18,529 --> 02:37:20,264
[Vince] All right.
Let's take another look at it.

3045
02:37:20,331 --> 02:37:21,766
[crowd chatter]

3046
02:37:21,832 --> 02:37:23,267
[Mr. Perfect] Oh.

3047
02:37:24,302 --> 02:37:26,136
[Vince] And again, Vader now.

3048
02:37:26,938 --> 02:37:29,439
[Mr. Perfect] I haven't had this much fun
since I left the ring.

3049
02:37:31,609 --> 02:37:33,877
[Vince] Vader dominating the matchup,

3050
02:37:34,511 --> 02:37:36,347
even more than he did earlier on.

3051
02:37:38,815 --> 02:37:40,984
If it ends here tonight
for Shawn Michaels,

3052
02:37:42,653 --> 02:37:45,489
Michaels nonetheless
would've left his mark

3053
02:37:46,390 --> 02:37:48,059
on World Wrestling Entertainment

3054
02:37:48,993 --> 02:37:50,627
as one of the great champions.

3055
02:37:50,695 --> 02:37:52,830
Any individual who can accomplish
what he accomplished

3056
02:37:52,896 --> 02:37:54,365
beginning at WrestleMania

3057
02:37:55,699 --> 02:37:57,301
has to go down in the history book,

3058
02:37:57,368 --> 02:38:00,270
I believe, even though he has
had a short reign thus far

3059
02:38:00,338 --> 02:38:02,305
-as one of the great champions.
-[Mr. Perfect] Well, it's a--

3060
02:38:02,373 --> 02:38:04,308
[Vince] However,
his reign is not really over,

3061
02:38:04,375 --> 02:38:06,544
at least not yet, not officially.

3062
02:38:06,609 --> 02:38:08,312
[Mr. Perfect]
it's a matter of time right now.

3063
02:38:08,946 --> 02:38:10,680
Summer's over, Shawn Michaels.

3064
02:38:10,814 --> 02:38:12,783
Go back to school
and learn what you're doing.

3065
02:38:12,850 --> 02:38:15,586
[Vince] You wonder what sort of strategy,

3066
02:38:16,619 --> 02:38:21,324
Jose Lothario and Shawn Michaels discussed
coming into the match

3067
02:38:21,392 --> 02:38:24,695
and Michaels somehow feeling a power
of The Kliq here in Cleveland,

3068
02:38:26,063 --> 02:38:27,398
able to get back to his feet,

3069
02:38:28,064 --> 02:38:30,067
drives in the knee, that'll do it.

3070
02:38:30,267 --> 02:38:33,804
Use your feet, coming up the rope,
and Michaels with a clothesline but no.

3071
02:38:33,871 --> 02:38:36,306
It has no effect to that big mastodon.

3072
02:38:36,374 --> 02:38:37,975
[crowd chatter]

3073
02:38:38,042 --> 02:38:40,243
[Ross] You're not gonna beat Vader
high-impact moves,

3074
02:38:40,311 --> 02:38:41,779
-you gotta wrestle him.
-[Vince] Wait a minute.

3075
02:38:41,846 --> 02:38:45,815
Oh, no, and Michaels hit big time trouble,
standing right upon the chest. Vader…

3076
02:38:46,216 --> 02:38:47,717
-[referee counting]
-[crowd chatter]

3077
02:38:47,851 --> 02:38:49,420
[Vince] …right up on his throat.

3078
02:38:49,954 --> 02:38:51,856
-And-- no!
-[Ross] Yes!

3079
02:38:53,224 --> 02:38:55,393
[Mr. Perfect] Oh.
What a cheap shot by Michaels.

3080
02:38:55,458 --> 02:38:57,895
-[crowd cheering]
-[Ross] Gotta protect yourself,

3081
02:38:57,962 --> 02:38:59,130
that's what Shawn was doing.

3082
02:38:59,196 --> 02:39:00,231
[Vince] Michaels lifting a knee.

3083
02:39:00,296 --> 02:39:02,767
Michaels with a clothesline
and now the big man went down!

3084
02:39:02,832 --> 02:39:04,368
[crowd cheering]

3085
02:39:05,235 --> 02:39:09,106
[Ross] All right. Now's the time to
build that momentum, quick in the pace.

3086
02:39:09,172 --> 02:39:10,841
[Vince] From the top, here we go.

3087
02:39:11,409 --> 02:39:13,911
Shawn Michaels with an opportunity to win
this match.

3088
02:39:13,978 --> 02:39:16,080
[Ross] Take some chances and go for it

3089
02:39:16,180 --> 02:39:17,547
while you've got the opportunity.

3090
02:39:17,615 --> 02:39:20,583
-[Mr. Perfect] Michaels on the top!
-[Vince] No. No.

3091
02:39:20,651 --> 02:39:22,319
[crowd cheering]

3092
02:39:23,921 --> 02:39:25,589
[Vince] Michaels kicking Vader.

3093
02:39:28,324 --> 02:39:30,127
Vader starting his move.

3094
02:39:30,528 --> 02:39:32,930
Michaels knew full well
he wouldn't be able to nail him

3095
02:39:32,997 --> 02:39:33,998
like he wanted to.

3096
02:39:34,064 --> 02:39:35,698
Vader now being set up for the ride.

3097
02:39:35,766 --> 02:39:37,802
Michaels-- oh, underneath,

3098
02:39:37,868 --> 02:39:40,171
from the other side
and Michaels with Vader.

3099
02:39:40,237 --> 02:39:42,339
-[crowd cheering]
-[Ross] Oh, my God!

3100
02:39:42,405 --> 02:39:44,074
[Mr. Perfect] Somebody's hurt here.

3101
02:39:44,141 --> 02:39:47,978
[Ross] That's a 450-pound man
and the WWE Champion falling

3102
02:39:48,045 --> 02:39:49,913
on each other to the floor.

3103
02:39:49,980 --> 02:39:51,982
[man] Come on, Shawn! Move!

3104
02:39:52,650 --> 02:39:54,819
[Vince] And Shawn Michaels, amazing.

3105
02:39:54,885 --> 02:39:57,921
Here's another look at it
from the other side.

3106
02:39:58,021 --> 02:39:59,657
[crowd cheering]

3107
02:40:00,624 --> 02:40:03,194
[Vince]
And I don't think-- oh, look at this.

3108
02:40:03,260 --> 02:40:04,428
Oh, no.

3109
02:40:04,627 --> 02:40:06,464
[Mr. Perfect]
Look at the strength of this guy.

3110
02:40:06,529 --> 02:40:08,099
-[crowd cheering]
-[Ross] No.

3111
02:40:08,164 --> 02:40:11,001
-[Vince] Vader!
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh. There you go.

3112
02:40:11,068 --> 02:40:14,205
-Throw him right to his Kliq.
-[crowd chatter]

3113
02:40:14,270 --> 02:40:18,509
[Vince] But Vader can't win
the title if Michaels is counted out.

3114
02:40:19,743 --> 02:40:22,158
[Ross] I wonder if Cornette
has got Vader tuned in to that fact.

3115
02:40:22,233 --> 02:40:23,581
-[Vince] He can't win the match.
-[bell ringing]

3116
02:40:23,646 --> 02:40:25,251
-[Vince] Wait a minute.
-[Mr. Perfect] What's going on here?

3117
02:40:25,350 --> 02:40:27,184
[Vince] That's exactly-- that's been--
what's happened?

3118
02:40:27,251 --> 02:40:31,387
[Howard] Ladies and gentlemen,
the referee has awarded this belt

3119
02:40:31,455 --> 02:40:33,891
as a result of a count-out

3120
02:40:34,725 --> 02:40:38,462
to The Man They Call Vader.

3121
02:40:38,529 --> 02:40:40,131
[crowd booing]

3122
02:40:40,197 --> 02:40:42,766
[Vince] The Man They Call Vader
has won the match.

3123
02:40:42,832 --> 02:40:44,100
[Cornette] No, no.

3124
02:40:44,168 --> 02:40:46,270
-No, wait a minute. Wait a minute.
-[Vince] But he hasn't won--

3125
02:40:46,337 --> 02:40:51,142
Wait a minute. Cut that music off,
stop it. Hold on! Hold on.

3126
02:40:51,909 --> 02:40:53,711
We came here to win the title.

3127
02:40:53,777 --> 02:40:55,279
We don't want it like that.

3128
02:40:55,346 --> 02:40:57,648
-[Vince] Tell him, Jimmy.
-[Cornette] We don't want it like that.

3129
02:40:57,715 --> 02:41:00,117
We came here to win the title.

3130
02:41:00,951 --> 02:41:04,755
Shawn Michaels,
if you got any guts, get back in here.

3131
02:41:04,822 --> 02:41:07,858
Referee, start this thing over again.

3132
02:41:07,925 --> 02:41:09,225
We want a fight.

3133
02:41:09,293 --> 02:41:11,162
[Vince] Oh, I think Shawn Michaels
would a bit foolish

3134
02:41:11,228 --> 02:41:12,997
-to do that actually.
-[Cornette] We want a winner.

3135
02:41:13,063 --> 02:41:14,265
[Vince] Michaels…

3136
02:41:14,398 --> 02:41:15,862
-[Ross] Michaels is all guts.
-[Cornette] We came here…

3137
02:41:15,937 --> 02:41:17,401
-to take this thing, the title.
-[Vince] …discussing this

3138
02:41:17,467 --> 02:41:19,770
-with the official.
-[Cornette] We want a winner.

3139
02:41:19,837 --> 02:41:21,972
[Ross]
Michaels' insides gonna be broken apart.

3140
02:41:22,038 --> 02:41:23,439
[crowd chatter]

3141
02:41:23,741 --> 02:41:25,309
[Mr. Perfect] Yeah.
He wants no part of Vader.

3142
02:41:25,376 --> 02:41:27,411
[Ross] How can he physically continue,
is what I wanna know.

3143
02:41:27,478 --> 02:41:28,846
[Cornette]
Come on, Michaels are you gutless?

3144
02:41:28,913 --> 02:41:29,880
Come on.

3145
02:41:30,314 --> 02:41:32,416
-[Vince] And Shawn Michaels…
-[Cornette] Are you gutless?

3146
02:41:33,250 --> 02:41:35,752
-[Vince] A smart Shawn Michaels…
-[Cornette] No.

3147
02:41:35,985 --> 02:41:37,253
You can't do it.

3148
02:41:38,055 --> 02:41:39,523
[Vince] …leaving the--

3149
02:41:40,758 --> 02:41:43,127
-Wait a minute.
-[Cornette] Come on and get back in here.

3150
02:41:43,194 --> 02:41:44,695
-[crowd cheering]
-I'll go. Yeah. Get off me.

3151
02:41:44,761 --> 02:41:47,331
[Cornette] Get back in here.
We wanna win that belt.

3152
02:41:49,133 --> 02:41:50,935
[Ross] Well,
if Shawn Michaels continue this match,

3153
02:41:51,001 --> 02:41:52,937
that is not a wise decision on his part.

3154
02:41:53,002 --> 02:41:54,805
[Vince] I think that's exactly
what's gonna happen

3155
02:41:54,872 --> 02:41:59,176
and I think Shawn might be doing this
against Jose Lothario's advice.

3156
02:42:00,144 --> 02:42:01,312
[Vince] I don't know

3157
02:42:01,377 --> 02:42:02,713
-what's going on here.
-[Mr. Perfect] Yeah, me too.

3158
02:42:02,779 --> 02:42:04,982
[Howard] Ladies and gentlemen,
your attention, please. I've been informed

3159
02:42:05,049 --> 02:42:09,987
by the referee
that this match will continue.

3160
02:42:10,054 --> 02:42:12,189
-[crowd cheering]
-[Vince] Oh, no.

3161
02:42:12,256 --> 02:42:13,591
[Ross] Oh, come on.

3162
02:42:13,657 --> 02:42:15,458
[Mr. Perfect laughs]

3163
02:42:15,526 --> 02:42:17,994
[Ross] Well, the referee is at least--
that Shawn gets back in the ring

3164
02:42:18,062 --> 02:42:19,363
and the bell is resounded.

3165
02:42:19,430 --> 02:42:21,532
This match is officially underway again.

3166
02:42:21,599 --> 02:42:23,167
[crowd chatter]

3167
02:42:24,068 --> 02:42:25,703
[Ross] It's just a matter of time now.

3168
02:42:26,237 --> 02:42:27,338
[Vince] And look at this.

3169
02:42:27,404 --> 02:42:31,041
Jose Lothario would be--
no, no, wait a minute.

3170
02:42:31,775 --> 02:42:34,278
-Jose, 62 years old…
-[Mr. Perfect] Sit down, old man.

3171
02:42:34,345 --> 02:42:35,546
[Vince] …will be staying away.

3172
02:42:35,613 --> 02:42:36,880
[Ross] Oh, no, no, no.

3173
02:42:36,947 --> 02:42:38,482
[crowd cheering]

3174
02:42:39,315 --> 02:42:41,318
[Ross] Well,
I can't believe that hideous Cornette.

3175
02:42:41,385 --> 02:42:42,920
[crowd chatter]

3176
02:42:48,292 --> 02:42:50,561
[Vince] What guts on the part
of Shawn Michaels.

3177
02:42:50,627 --> 02:42:54,098
We said before, sometimes he has more guts
than veins-- brains rather,

3178
02:42:54,163 --> 02:42:55,466
and take a look at this.

3179
02:42:55,733 --> 02:42:57,501
This was-- occurred earlier.

3180
02:42:57,568 --> 02:42:59,737
[Ross] That caused
the count-out right there.

3181
02:42:59,803 --> 02:43:02,072
Shawn couldn't get back in the ring
to continue.

3182
02:43:02,139 --> 02:43:03,274
[Vince] And look at this.

3183
02:43:03,340 --> 02:43:04,875
-This match is on underway again…
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh, my.

3184
02:43:04,942 --> 02:43:07,645
[Vince] …inside the ring
and we pick up right where we left off.

3185
02:43:07,711 --> 02:43:09,442
-[Mr. Perfect] Here we go.
-[Ross] Oh, what a belly-to-belly suplex.

3186
02:43:09,542 --> 02:43:11,382
-[Vince] Dominating the match.
-[Mr. Perfect] There's your new champion

3187
02:43:11,448 --> 02:43:13,017
-right there.
-[Vince] A cover and-- no!

3188
02:43:13,082 --> 02:43:15,052
Kicked out by Michaels,
Vader didn't hook the leg.

3189
02:43:15,118 --> 02:43:16,619
[crowd cheering]

3190
02:43:17,688 --> 02:43:19,555
[Ross] I'll tell you something,
Shawn Michaels is gonna fight this--

3191
02:43:19,623 --> 02:43:22,526
the rest of this
like he was planting the flag on Iwo Jima.

3192
02:43:22,592 --> 02:43:24,028
Never ever give up.

3193
02:43:24,094 --> 02:43:26,363
There's-- what can be left in this kid?

3194
02:43:26,864 --> 02:43:28,999
[Vince] Michaels set up by Vader.

3195
02:43:29,065 --> 02:43:30,434
He has no place to go now.

3196
02:43:30,501 --> 02:43:33,136
-Vader wants him to go.
-[Mr. Perfect] Here comes the bomb.

3197
02:43:33,203 --> 02:43:36,373
[Vince] Vader Bomb coming in,
bomb-- no, wait a minute.

3198
02:43:36,439 --> 02:43:39,643
-Michaels-- look at that.
-[crowd cheering]

3199
02:43:41,511 --> 02:43:43,814
[Vince] Michaels off the rope, underneath,

3200
02:43:43,881 --> 02:43:46,884
Michaels, underneath again and goes down.

3201
02:43:46,949 --> 02:43:48,152
[crowd cheering]

3202
02:43:49,386 --> 02:43:51,855
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh, give me a break!
-[Vince] Unbelievable.

3203
02:43:51,921 --> 02:43:53,357
[Mr. Perfect] Give me a break!

3204
02:43:53,424 --> 02:43:54,992
[Vince] Michaels can do it.

3205
02:43:55,159 --> 02:43:57,226
Michaels can do it from the top.

3206
02:43:58,395 --> 02:43:59,963
He's coming in with the elbow.

3207
02:44:00,029 --> 02:44:01,431
Michaels can do it.

3208
02:44:01,498 --> 02:44:03,199
[Ross] The band is tuning up.

3209
02:44:03,267 --> 02:44:04,668
[Mr. Perfect] I'm not falling for it.
Do you hear the--

3210
02:44:04,734 --> 02:44:07,136
[Vince] Here we go!
Sweet Chin Music, here we go!

3211
02:44:09,740 --> 02:44:12,609
-And Cornette grabbing--
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh, come on.

3212
02:44:14,110 --> 02:44:16,145
[Vince] He just threw the racket in.

3213
02:44:17,648 --> 02:44:20,918
[Vince] Now, Shawn Michaels has the racket
that Cornette threw in there.

3214
02:44:20,984 --> 02:44:22,586
-[bell ringing]
-[crowd cheering]

3215
02:44:23,753 --> 02:44:27,257
[Vince] Michaels hammering away on Vader
just to follow his own.

3216
02:44:27,323 --> 02:44:29,993
[Ross] He could get himself
disqualified here with that racket.

3217
02:44:30,060 --> 02:44:31,761
[crowd cheering]

3218
02:44:31,829 --> 02:44:34,865
[Vince] Michaels just beating
the tar out of Cornette.

3219
02:44:34,931 --> 02:44:36,867
[bell ringing]

3220
02:44:36,934 --> 02:44:38,535
[Ross] That mama's boy Cornette

3221
02:44:38,601 --> 02:44:40,636
is getting whipped like
a government mule.

3222
02:44:40,704 --> 02:44:42,139
[crowd cheering]

3223
02:44:44,675 --> 02:44:48,212
[Howard] Ladies and gentlemen,
the winner of this bout

3224
02:44:48,278 --> 02:44:50,913
as a result of a disqualification,

3225
02:44:51,582 --> 02:44:55,319
The Man They Call Vader.

3226
02:44:57,755 --> 02:45:01,358
[Vince] Well, Vader,
once again, wins this match.

3227
02:45:01,859 --> 02:45:05,662
The referee obviously did not see
Cornette throw the racket into the ring.

3228
02:45:05,729 --> 02:45:09,933
All he saw was Shawn Michaels
using the tennis racket

3229
02:45:10,000 --> 02:45:12,836
-against Vader and then-- wait a minute.
-[Cornette] No.

3230
02:45:12,903 --> 02:45:17,007
Shawn Michaels,
cut that stinking music off.

3231
02:45:17,073 --> 02:45:18,442
Cut it off.

3232
02:45:18,509 --> 02:45:22,613
Michaels, you got yourself
disqualified on purpose

3233
02:45:22,679 --> 02:45:25,616
just to try to save
that stinking title of yours.

3234
02:45:26,683 --> 02:45:28,985
You're a gutless, no-good, coward.

3235
02:45:29,052 --> 02:45:33,289
You knew you couldn't beat him.
If you got any guts,

3236
02:45:33,891 --> 02:45:35,559
if you got any courage,

3237
02:45:36,260 --> 02:45:37,994
Get that thing started again.

3238
02:45:38,061 --> 02:45:40,063
-[Vince] Gorilla Monsoon's in there.
-[Cornette] Let's have a winner.

3239
02:45:40,130 --> 02:45:41,498
Let's have a winner.

3240
02:45:42,433 --> 02:45:43,500
I dare you.

3241
02:45:44,001 --> 02:45:47,003
I double-dog dare you,
you stinking coward.

3242
02:45:47,070 --> 02:45:48,472
[Vince] Gorilla Monsoon,

3243
02:45:48,538 --> 02:45:52,009
President of WWE, in the ring
trying to straighten things out,

3244
02:45:52,074 --> 02:45:53,476
along with a bunch of other luminaries
in there.

3245
02:45:53,544 --> 02:45:55,378
-[Howard] Ladies and gentlemen…
-[Vince] Wait a minute.

3246
02:45:55,446 --> 02:45:57,247
-Here we go!
-[Howard] WWE President Gorilla Monsoon…

3247
02:45:57,314 --> 02:45:58,681
-[Ross] This is chaotic.
-[Howard] …has informed us

3248
02:45:58,749 --> 02:45:59,949
that this match will continue.

3249
02:46:00,017 --> 02:46:02,586
[Vince]
Yes, the match is continuing, Vader-- no!

3250
02:46:03,053 --> 02:46:04,921
[crowd cheering]

3251
02:46:04,988 --> 02:46:09,326
[Vince] Michaels, oh, nailed him,
Vader with that forearm.

3252
02:46:11,061 --> 02:46:13,230
Michaels is going upstairs.

3253
02:46:13,764 --> 02:46:16,800
Shawn Michaels now from the top,
drops the elbow!

3254
02:46:17,267 --> 02:46:19,036
[Mr. Perfect] J.R.,
Michaels gets his win back.

3255
02:46:19,101 --> 02:46:20,471
Now he's a big man, huh?

3256
02:46:20,537 --> 02:46:22,105
-I don't--
-[Vince] It's Michaels and The Kliq.

3257
02:46:22,171 --> 02:46:26,143
It's Michaels and The Kliq together,
that's where he's getting his power,

3258
02:46:26,210 --> 02:46:27,478
that's where he's getting resilience.

3259
02:46:27,544 --> 02:46:29,145
Here we go, chalk up to Vader.

3260
02:46:29,213 --> 02:46:30,981
-[crowd cheering]
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh, come on.

3261
02:46:31,047 --> 02:46:32,249
[Vince] He got him. He got him.

3262
02:46:32,315 --> 02:46:34,184
-One, two, three!
-[Mr. Perfect] Give me a break!

3263
02:46:34,518 --> 02:46:35,886
[Mr. Perfect] No, no, no.
He didn't--

3264
02:46:35,953 --> 02:46:37,287
-[crowd cheering]
-[Vince] No, no, no.

3265
02:46:37,421 --> 02:46:39,055
[Ross] Vader got his shoulder up.

3266
02:46:39,122 --> 02:46:41,058
Vader got his shoulder up.

3267
02:46:41,124 --> 02:46:42,493
-[crowd cheering]
-[Ross] The Sweet Chin Music

3268
02:46:42,559 --> 02:46:45,195
did not keep Vader down
for the three-count.

3269
02:46:45,261 --> 02:46:47,698
[Mr. Perfect] That's the first time
I've ever seen anybody kicked out

3270
02:46:47,764 --> 02:46:49,433
of Shawn Michaels' kick.

3271
02:46:49,500 --> 02:46:51,268
[Vince] Unbelievable. Vader.

3272
02:46:51,335 --> 02:46:52,903
Wait a minute, Vader trying to set--

3273
02:46:53,103 --> 02:46:55,639
and the official goes to the rope
to the outside.

3274
02:46:57,573 --> 02:47:01,044
Shawn Michaels unable to put Vader away.

3275
02:47:01,110 --> 02:47:02,112
[Ross] Oh, no.

3276
02:47:02,179 --> 02:47:04,248
[Mr. Perfect] Oh, Shawn Michaels
going to any extreme

3277
02:47:04,314 --> 02:47:06,650
to save that belt no doubt about it.

3278
02:47:06,716 --> 02:47:09,553
-Don't do it, man!
-[Vince] Vader Bomb.

3279
02:47:10,220 --> 02:47:12,456
The Vader Bomb. And cover.

3280
02:47:12,523 --> 02:47:14,391
-[Mr. Perfect] Come on.
-[Vince] There's no-- there's no official.

3281
02:47:14,457 --> 02:47:15,591
[Mr. Perfect] Get at the top.

3282
02:47:15,659 --> 02:47:16,859
[Vince] Wait a minute,
there's another one. Two

3283
02:47:16,927 --> 02:47:18,228
[Mr. Perfect] No, he got him.

3284
02:47:18,295 --> 02:47:19,463
-It's over!
-[crowd cheering]

3285
02:47:19,529 --> 02:47:21,465
[Ross] I can't believe it.
I can't believe it.

3286
02:47:21,532 --> 02:47:23,199
-Michaels kicked out…
-[Mr. Perfect] Come on, ref.

3287
02:47:23,267 --> 02:47:24,568
[Ross] …from a powerbomb.

3288
02:47:25,402 --> 02:47:28,805
[Vince] Another official came
into the ring and counted.

3289
02:47:28,872 --> 02:47:32,074
[Ross] But Vader kicked out
of Sweet Chin Music.

3290
02:47:32,208 --> 02:47:35,112
What's it gonna take
to keep either one of these guys down?

3291
02:47:35,912 --> 02:47:38,047
[Vince] Michaels shoulders on the canvas

3292
02:47:38,115 --> 02:47:39,516
-for some time.
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh, here we go.

3293
02:47:39,582 --> 02:47:40,784
-Oh, here we go.
-[Vince] Oh, no.

3294
02:47:40,850 --> 02:47:43,654
[Ross] Shades of Vancouver
International Incident coming up maybe.

3295
02:47:43,720 --> 02:47:46,055
Shades of Raw, just last week.

3296
02:47:47,323 --> 02:47:49,826
It could be a Vader Bomb right off
those ropes.

3297
02:47:49,893 --> 02:47:51,428
Michaels is helpless.

3298
02:47:52,762 --> 02:47:55,198
[Vince] Shawn Michaels on the mat.

3299
02:47:55,599 --> 02:47:59,136
And this one's gonna over for sure now.

3300
02:48:00,203 --> 02:48:02,139
Here we go, Vader coming up.

3301
02:48:02,538 --> 02:48:04,741
All right. He's on the second rope.

3302
02:48:04,808 --> 02:48:07,511
Here we go. Michaels isn't moving.

3303
02:48:08,312 --> 02:48:09,378
[Ross] Wait a minute,

3304
02:48:09,446 --> 02:48:12,015
Cornette's telling Vader to go to the top.

3305
02:48:12,516 --> 02:48:13,951
That only means one thing,

3306
02:48:14,017 --> 02:48:18,555
that's the moonsault,
a 458-pound moonsault.

3307
02:48:19,890 --> 02:48:22,225
[Vince] Vader, here we go now!

3308
02:48:22,292 --> 02:48:23,794
[Mr. Perfect] Oh.

3309
02:48:23,859 --> 02:48:26,029
[crowd cheering]

3310
02:48:28,498 --> 02:48:31,969
[Ross]
Can Shawn Michaels reach down in his gut?

3311
02:48:32,035 --> 02:48:34,270
Can he pull his self together?

3312
02:48:34,338 --> 02:48:35,839
How much heart does he have left?

3313
02:48:35,905 --> 02:48:37,274
How much heart can he have left?

3314
02:48:37,341 --> 02:48:39,009
[Vince]
Where is he going? What's he doing?

3315
02:48:39,076 --> 02:48:40,410
[crowd chatter]

3316
02:48:40,978 --> 02:48:42,346
[Vince] Michaels,

3317
02:48:43,847 --> 02:48:48,285
maybe with one desperate high-risk
maneuver left, Michaels--

3318
02:48:48,351 --> 02:48:50,621
-[crowd cheering]
-[Vince] Michaels--

3319
02:48:50,687 --> 02:48:52,555
-[Mr. Perfect] No.
-[Vince] Michaels, Michaels.

3320
02:48:52,623 --> 02:48:54,091
-[bell ringing]
-[crowd cheering]

3321
02:48:54,190 --> 02:48:56,026
-[Ross] He did it.
-[Mr. Perfect] I can't believe it.

3322
02:48:56,560 --> 02:48:59,830
[Howard] The winner of this match
and still…

3323
02:48:59,895 --> 02:49:01,398
[Mr. Perfect] I'm out of here.
I can't take it.

3324
02:49:01,465 --> 02:49:03,367
[Howard] …World Wrestling
Entertainment Champion,

3325
02:49:03,433 --> 02:49:05,402
-The Heartbreak Kid!
-[Vince] Shawn Michaels has done

3326
02:49:05,469 --> 02:49:08,705
-the impossible.
-[Howard] Shawn Michaels.

3327
02:49:08,839 --> 02:49:10,374
["Sexy Boy" playing]

3328
02:49:10,439 --> 02:49:15,011
[Vince] The Man They Call Vader defeated
Shawn Michaels via count-out.

3329
02:49:15,078 --> 02:49:18,715
He then defeated him as a result
of a disqualification.

3330
02:49:18,782 --> 02:49:23,886
And then, ladies and gentlemen,
somehow Shawn Michaels pulled it out.

3331
02:49:23,954 --> 02:49:27,357
Somehow Shawn Michaels has retained

3332
02:49:27,424 --> 02:49:31,627
the World Wrestling
Entertainment Championship.

3333
02:49:31,695 --> 02:49:33,330
Let's take another look.

3334
02:49:35,599 --> 02:49:37,567
-[crowd cheering]
-[Vince] And here we go,

3335
02:49:37,634 --> 02:49:39,169
-this is the one!
-[Ross] This is the one.

3336
02:49:39,235 --> 02:49:40,537
I think this ended the match right here.

3337
02:49:40,604 --> 02:49:41,904
This was the turning point.

3338
02:49:41,972 --> 02:49:43,640
If Vader had hit the moonsault,

3339
02:49:43,707 --> 02:49:45,074
we would have a new champion,

3340
02:49:45,142 --> 02:49:48,244
but Vader missed, the missed moonsault,

3341
02:49:48,311 --> 02:49:51,882
a modified moonsault,
watch Shawn Michaels,

3342
02:49:51,948 --> 02:49:55,519
that knee-- his left-- his left knee
caught Vader right in the head.

3343
02:49:55,585 --> 02:49:58,154
Shawn Michaels wins it,
but the big question,

3344
02:49:58,221 --> 02:50:01,692
what if-- what if Vader had hit
the moonsault.

3345
02:50:02,392 --> 02:50:06,395
[Vince] And Michaels may not feel
so much like a winner of the moment.

3346
02:50:06,463 --> 02:50:08,331
The Man They Call Vader.

3347
02:50:09,499 --> 02:50:11,967
[Mr. Perfect] And look at everybody
protecting Shawn Michaels.

3348
02:50:12,469 --> 02:50:14,104
[Vince] Well, wait a minute,
what else do you want?

3349
02:50:14,171 --> 02:50:16,206
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh, don't you--
-[overlapping chatter]

3350
02:50:16,273 --> 02:50:17,974
[Vince] Give the man credit
for crying out loud. Come on!

3351
02:50:18,041 --> 02:50:19,776
[Mr. Perfect] I'm giving him no credit.
I'm oughta go up there

3352
02:50:19,876 --> 02:50:21,945
-and knock him out myself.
-[Vince] Be my guest.

3353
02:50:22,412 --> 02:50:23,480
Vader.

3354
02:50:23,680 --> 02:50:24,948
♪ I'm not your boy toy ♪

3355
02:50:25,448 --> 02:50:26,650
[Vince] And there you have it.

3356
02:50:27,484 --> 02:50:31,887
Shawn Michaels on his feet
as we say so long, ladies and gentlemen,

3357
02:50:31,955 --> 02:50:34,424
from the fabulous Gund Arena

3358
02:50:35,324 --> 02:50:40,697
in Cleveland, Ohio,
the site of the 1996 WWE SummerSlam.

3359
02:50:40,764 --> 02:50:43,033
We thank you very much for joining us.

02:50:43,100 --> 02:50:45,601
