00:00:02,235 --> 00:00:05,105
[Jim] Welcome to the Heartland of America,

2
00:00:05,171 --> 00:00:07,707
as the World Wrestling Entertainment
presents

3
00:00:07,774 --> 00:00:12,412
the first ever
King of the Ringextravaganza.

4
00:00:12,479 --> 00:00:16,383
Tonight, eight of the toughest superstars
of the WWE will bang heads

5
00:00:16,449 --> 00:00:18,485
in a grueling
single elimination tournament

6
00:00:18,551 --> 00:00:22,155
to determine once in for all
who is the King of the Ring.

7
00:00:22,222 --> 00:00:26,359
In opening round matchups,
former WWE Champion "Hitman" Bret Hart

8
00:00:26,426 --> 00:00:30,163
will square off against his old nemeses
ruthless Razor Ramon.

9
00:00:30,230 --> 00:00:32,265
Pure perfection meets pure power,

10
00:00:32,332 --> 00:00:36,803
as Mr. Perfect
takes on the sinister Mr. Hughes.

11
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:38,838
"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan will butt heads

12
00:00:38,905 --> 00:00:42,976
with the massive beast
from the East, Bam Bam Bigelow.

13
00:00:43,043 --> 00:00:48,615
The undefeated Native American, Tatanka,
grapples with "The Narcissist" Lex Luger.

14
00:00:48,681 --> 00:00:52,318
Who will survive this grueling
test of strength and endurance?

15
00:00:52,385 --> 00:00:56,656
Who will be crowned
the WWE King of the Ring?

16
00:00:56,723 --> 00:00:59,192
[audience cheering]

17
00:00:59,259 --> 00:01:02,595
[Jim] We are live
in the sold out Nutter Center

18
00:01:02,662 --> 00:01:05,799
from the Heartland of America,
Dayton, Ohio,

19
00:01:05,865 --> 00:01:07,700
where the World Wrestling Entertainment
presents

20
00:01:07,767 --> 00:01:09,169
the first ever King of the Ring.

21
00:01:09,235 --> 00:01:12,572
Hello, everyone, I'm Jim Ross
along with "Macho Man" Randy Savage,

22
00:01:12,639 --> 00:01:14,140
and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.

23
00:01:14,207 --> 00:01:19,312
Hulk Hogan, the fans, the WWE title,
"Macho Man", tonight against Yokozuna.

24
00:01:19,379 --> 00:01:22,849
And the reason we're in Dayton, Ohio,
is because Hulk Hogan wanted to defend

25
00:01:22,916 --> 00:01:25,018
the World Wrestling Entertainment
Championship belt

26
00:01:25,085 --> 00:01:27,086
right here on the Heart of America.

27
00:01:27,153 --> 00:01:29,055
Go get him, Hulk Hogan.

28
00:01:29,122 --> 00:01:32,559
And Shawn Michaels defends
Intercontinental title tonight

29
00:01:32,625 --> 00:01:33,827
against Crush, Brain.

30
00:01:33,893 --> 00:01:37,030
[Bobby] Well, I tell you something, Crush,
you're a very lucky man.

31
00:01:37,097 --> 00:01:40,733
But when he's done with you,
you're just gonna be another victim.

32
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,036
What a night it's going to be,
ladies and gentlemen,

33
00:01:43,103 --> 00:01:47,140
in a sold out Jam to the Raptors
right here in Dayton, Ohio.

34
00:01:47,207 --> 00:01:48,475
Let's go up to the feed.

35
00:01:48,541 --> 00:01:49,709
[upbeat music playing]

36
00:01:49,776 --> 00:01:50,977
[bell ringing]

37
00:01:51,044 --> 00:01:55,682
[Howard] This is a first world matchup
in the King of the Ringtournament.

38
00:01:55,748 --> 00:02:01,054
And it's scheduled for one fall
with a 15-minute time limit.

39
00:02:01,121 --> 00:02:04,657
Coming down the aisle from Miami, Florida,

40
00:02:04,724 --> 00:02:07,994
weighing 287 pounds,

41
00:02:08,061 --> 00:02:11,264
Razor Ramon.

42
00:02:11,331 --> 00:02:12,565
[audience cheering]

43
00:02:12,632 --> 00:02:14,734
[Jim] And you can hear,
ladies and gentlemen, the chant,

44
00:02:14,801 --> 00:02:18,071
1-2-3 Kid, 1-2-3.

45
00:02:18,138 --> 00:02:21,741
That's something that Razor Ramon
may never live now.

46
00:02:21,808 --> 00:02:26,713
[Bobby] That's a disgrace for a man
like Razor Ramon, acquires men like that

47
00:02:26,779 --> 00:02:29,115
to have to come
to the Heartland of America

48
00:02:29,182 --> 00:02:32,085
and that these humanoids chanting, 1-2-3

49
00:02:32,152 --> 00:02:35,955
because the "Macho Man" Randy Savage,
that's a disgrace.

50
00:02:36,022 --> 00:02:36,990
[Jim] Ladies and gentlemen,

51
00:02:37,056 --> 00:02:40,160
these first round matches will be
one fall, fifteen-minute time limit.

52
00:02:40,226 --> 00:02:42,662
Only the winner is advanced
the semifinals,

53
00:02:42,729 --> 00:02:44,397
one fall with a thirty-minute time limit

54
00:02:44,464 --> 00:02:49,836
and the final match will be one fall
with a sixty-minute time limit.

55
00:02:49,903 --> 00:02:53,439
[Randy] The 1-2-3 Kid,
let it happen, yeah.

56
00:02:53,506 --> 00:02:58,178
-[audience cheering]
-[upbeat music playing]

57
00:02:58,244 --> 00:03:02,048
[Howard] His opponent,
from Calgary, Alberta, Canada,

58
00:03:02,115 --> 00:03:04,851
weighing 234 pounds,

59
00:03:04,918 --> 00:03:09,389
Bret "Hitman" Hart.

60
00:03:09,455 --> 00:03:10,757
[audience cheering]

61
00:03:10,823 --> 00:03:13,760
[Jim] The coronation will be second place
a little bit later this evening,

62
00:03:13,826 --> 00:03:17,030
you saw a quick glimpse of that
as this tremendous crowd

63
00:03:17,096 --> 00:03:18,665
with a thunderous ovation

64
00:03:18,731 --> 00:03:21,301
for the one and only
Bret "The Hitman" Hart,

65
00:03:21,367 --> 00:03:24,537
the number one seed in this tournament.

66
00:03:24,604 --> 00:03:29,275
[Randy] Former WWE Champion,
Intercontinental Champion, former,

67
00:03:29,342 --> 00:03:32,946
former WWE Tag Team Champion,
he's done it all.

68
00:03:33,012 --> 00:03:36,749
But I still think
that Razor's gonna cut in the ribbons.

69
00:03:36,816 --> 00:03:38,318
[audience cheering]

70
00:03:38,384 --> 00:03:40,853
[Randy] Get him "Hitman", let's do it.

71
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,624
[Jim] Bret "The Hitman" Hart a two-time,
as the Brain pointed out,

72
00:03:44,691 --> 00:03:47,627
Intercontinental Champion two-time,
tag champion.

73
00:03:47,694 --> 00:03:50,563
He's won the WWE Championship.

74
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:54,667
And looking to make it a triple-double
in his illustrious career

75
00:03:54,734 --> 00:03:56,502
as he presents some young fan

76
00:03:56,569 --> 00:04:00,340
well, I'm sure pair of glasses
and memento of this…

77
00:04:00,406 --> 00:04:01,741
-[Bobby] Oh, Ross.
-[Jim] …occasion that he'll never forget.

78
00:04:01,808 --> 00:04:05,778
Ross, what he does is,
he tries to buy friendship.

79
00:04:06,212 --> 00:04:07,146
That's what he's doing.

80
00:04:07,213 --> 00:04:08,147
-[Jim] That's not true.
-[bell ringing]

81
00:04:08,214 --> 00:04:09,782
[Jim] No one's gonna agree with that.

82
00:04:09,849 --> 00:04:13,219
-The bell sounds. We're ready to go here.
-[Bobby] I bet you Razor would.

83
00:04:13,286 --> 00:04:18,157
[audience cheering]

84
00:04:18,224 --> 00:04:21,160
[Randy] All right,
"Hitman" go get him brother.

85
00:04:21,227 --> 00:04:23,930
Remember,
you got a 1 fall 15-minute time limit

86
00:04:23,997 --> 00:04:26,699
so you got to go get him early,
don't let him stall.

87
00:04:26,766 --> 00:04:29,736
[Bobby] You're right about that, Savage.
You can't lay back.

88
00:04:29,802 --> 00:04:32,405
You got 15 minutes to do it to advance.

89
00:04:32,472 --> 00:04:34,774
And if you don't do it now,
it's make and break time,

90
00:04:34,841 --> 00:04:36,476
you better do it quick.

91
00:04:36,542 --> 00:04:38,511
[Jim] You got to wonder
if this chant of 1-2-3

92
00:04:38,578 --> 00:04:41,414
will adversely affect Razor Ramon.

93
00:04:41,481 --> 00:04:45,885
[Bobby] By what? The 1-2-3 Kid,
he'd get really up to something like this.

94
00:04:45,952 --> 00:04:48,888
Razor's a professional.
I don't care what Savage did.

95
00:04:48,955 --> 00:04:51,057
It does not affect Razor Ramon.

96
00:04:51,124 --> 00:04:52,325
[Randy] Well, if he's rattled

97
00:04:52,392 --> 00:04:55,094
then he's not the professional
that he needs to be.

98
00:04:55,161 --> 00:04:57,230
Razor Ramon's got to forget that lost,

99
00:04:57,296 --> 00:04:59,399
but he just can't
because the people know that--

100
00:04:59,465 --> 00:05:02,535
[Bobby] No, no, no, no, no, no.
He can't forget it because of you.

101
00:05:02,602 --> 00:05:04,771
You're getting up having the people
to do the 1-2-3.

102
00:05:04,837 --> 00:05:06,539
The humanoids are doing 1-2-3.

103
00:05:06,606 --> 00:05:08,074
[Jim] The winner of this match
will take on the winner

104
00:05:08,141 --> 00:05:11,010
between Mr. Perfect and Mr. Hughes.

105
00:05:11,077 --> 00:05:15,281
As a side headlock applied
by Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

106
00:05:15,348 --> 00:05:17,850
Ramon has a distinct advantage
and leverage and strength

107
00:05:17,917 --> 00:05:20,186
I would assume in this contest.

108
00:05:21,821 --> 00:05:23,856
-Side headlock--
-[Randy] Here we go right now.

109
00:05:23,923 --> 00:05:25,658
[Jim] Good shoulder block by "The Hitman"

110
00:05:25,725 --> 00:05:27,894
but he couldn't take
big Razor Ramon off his fit.

111
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,930
Ramon missed with that clothesline
and he missed with the elbow.

112
00:05:30,997 --> 00:05:33,633
Straight right hand by "The Hitman"
and another right hand.

113
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:35,735
They find their mark here.

114
00:05:35,802 --> 00:05:37,770
Get another
from the second generation wrestler

115
00:05:37,837 --> 00:05:42,308
from Calgary, Alberta, Canada,
one of 13 children, a [inaudible] Hart.

116
00:05:42,375 --> 00:05:44,277
[Bobby] And one of each.

117
00:05:44,344 --> 00:05:46,112
[Jim] And knee right to the shoulder

118
00:05:46,179 --> 00:05:50,083
as Bret "The Hitman" Hart
has taken his larger opponent off the mat.

119
00:05:50,149 --> 00:05:51,451
[Bobby] Well, he has to do that, Ross.

120
00:05:51,517 --> 00:05:53,886
He can't sit up
and go toe to toe at Razor Ramon.

121
00:05:53,953 --> 00:05:56,689
Razor Ramon is too big,
too strong for "The Hitman".

122
00:05:56,756 --> 00:05:59,525
He has the excellent execution,
I understand that.

123
00:05:59,592 --> 00:06:02,562
But he's not in the class of Razor Ramon
in my opinion.

124
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:04,097
Thank you very much.

125
00:06:04,163 --> 00:06:08,368
[Jim] Arm bar applied
and Razor Ramon back up to his feet.

126
00:06:08,434 --> 00:06:11,270
-[Bobby] Come on, Razor, stay down.
-[Jim] Knee to the midsection.

127
00:06:11,337 --> 00:06:14,173
Irish Whips, into the ropes far aside.
It's quickly… No, it's not countered.

128
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,175
I thought it was gonna be countered there
by "The Hitman".

129
00:06:16,242 --> 00:06:19,278
Oh, he got nailed, he got hammered
with a tremendous clothesline.

130
00:06:19,345 --> 00:06:21,447
-[Randy] Hey.
-[Jim] What a power move there.

131
00:06:21,514 --> 00:06:23,583
-[Randy] Unbelievable.
-[audience cheering]

132
00:06:23,649 --> 00:06:26,018
[Jim] Ramon with the elbow,
nobody there at that time.

133
00:06:26,085 --> 00:06:28,321
Another front arm drag takeover.

134
00:06:29,922 --> 00:06:35,027
The excellence of execution utilizing
his speed and quickness on this occasion.

135
00:06:35,094 --> 00:06:36,062
[Bobby] You got to understand something,

136
00:06:36,129 --> 00:06:39,732
since he was born
probably he's been wrestling.

137
00:06:39,799 --> 00:06:42,368
He's been putting on holes,
countering holes.

138
00:06:42,435 --> 00:06:45,471
His whole life,
his whole family's life is wrestling.

139
00:06:45,538 --> 00:06:48,808
I mean, he knows it all.
He really, really does.

140
00:06:48,875 --> 00:06:53,479
-But I just can't stand him.
-[Randy] Hitman's got the hole right now.

141
00:06:53,546 --> 00:06:58,351
Hitman, you got 15-minute time limit,
but Razor Ramon's got the same time limit.

142
00:06:58,418 --> 00:06:59,552
Get him now.

143
00:06:59,619 --> 00:07:02,588
[Jim] To the corner
but again the quickness of Bret Hart

144
00:07:02,655 --> 00:07:05,458
coming to the front,
nice arm drag takeover once again.

145
00:07:05,525 --> 00:07:11,364
[inaudible].

146
00:07:11,431 --> 00:07:17,403
[inaudible].

147
00:07:17,470 --> 00:07:22,708
[audience cheering]

148
00:07:22,775 --> 00:07:26,379
[Jim] Arm bar firmly applied
by the number one seed

149
00:07:26,445 --> 00:07:28,881
in this single elimination tournament

150
00:07:28,948 --> 00:07:30,750
to determine
the King of the Ring champion.

151
00:07:30,817 --> 00:07:33,119
[Bobby] I tell you something,
if I was in the King of the Ring,

152
00:07:33,186 --> 00:07:36,656
I would have nailed the guy,
during the instructions.

153
00:07:36,722 --> 00:07:38,691
And I got him as he step through the ring.

154
00:07:38,758 --> 00:07:42,929
This is, once in a lifetime opportunity
and, boy, you better take advantage of it

155
00:07:42,995 --> 00:07:44,931
or you're gonna be
living here in Dayton, Ohio,

156
00:07:44,997 --> 00:07:46,833
the rest of your life and that's fun.

157
00:07:46,899 --> 00:07:49,669
[Randy] Congratulations
to each and every one of these finalist

158
00:07:49,735 --> 00:07:53,406
that made it to the finals,
but guess what, only one can win.

159
00:07:53,472 --> 00:07:57,343
[Bobby] And it wasn't easy getting here.
But they're here.

160
00:07:57,410 --> 00:08:01,781
[Jim] Oh, thumb to the eye by Razor Ramon
taking a drastic shortcut.

161
00:08:02,915 --> 00:08:04,484
Let's see now if he can capitalize on it.

162
00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:06,452
Whipped for the middle
of the rope far side

163
00:08:06,519 --> 00:08:09,622
and catches Bret with the elbow,
lateral pass, leg hook,

164
00:08:09,689 --> 00:08:11,390
and a two count, near fall

165
00:08:11,457 --> 00:08:13,226
and the big man stitches up
for the reverse chin lock

166
00:08:13,292 --> 00:08:16,562
but it's quickly countered, "Macho Man",
into the hammerlock.

167
00:08:16,629 --> 00:08:18,331
[Randy] I tell you what,
I had a bad feeling about that last count.

168
00:08:18,397 --> 00:08:21,734
"The Hitman" almost got beat real quick.
That's how quick it can happen.

169
00:08:21,801 --> 00:08:24,604
[Bobby] Savage, Ross, pick me a winner
of King of the Ringright now.

170
00:08:24,670 --> 00:08:26,839
[Jim] Let's see what you got.
Let's see what you're made of.

171
00:08:26,906 --> 00:08:29,208
[Randy] That's a tough choice there
right there

172
00:08:29,275 --> 00:08:33,379
because you're talking about the eight,
top eight Superstars of the WWE.

173
00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:36,782
Hitman or Mr. Perfect I would say
just off the top of my head--

174
00:08:36,849 --> 00:08:41,020
-[Bobby] Only one. Come on, give me one.
-[Randy] Okay. I'll go with Mr. Perfect.

175
00:08:41,087 --> 00:08:43,356
-[Bobby] Come on, Ross.
-[Jim] Well, I don't know. I think--

176
00:08:43,422 --> 00:08:45,258
[Bobby] Of course, you're from Oklahoma.

177
00:08:45,324 --> 00:08:48,427
[Jim] It's too close to call, Brain.
Irish Whip, no. It's gonna be countered.

178
00:08:48,494 --> 00:08:50,229
Whoever it is,
he's got to win three matches

179
00:08:50,296 --> 00:08:53,299
and Bret Hart just ran
right into that big knee.

180
00:08:53,366 --> 00:08:55,301
-Razor Ramon is 6-7.
-[Bobby] Whoa.

181
00:08:55,368 --> 00:08:56,502
[Jim] Is he riding through the steel?

182
00:08:56,569 --> 00:08:58,170
-[Randy] Oh, my goodness.
-[Jim] Oh, my. Bret Hart--

183
00:08:58,237 --> 00:08:59,805
[Randy] I believe we have a winner.

184
00:08:59,872 --> 00:09:02,441
[Jim] He may have separated
his shoulder right there

185
00:09:02,508 --> 00:09:03,442
or at least some damage

186
00:09:03,509 --> 00:09:06,012
as he struck the steel ring post
with his shoulder.

187
00:09:06,078 --> 00:09:09,482
And now, Razor Ramon trying
to capitalize on it. A clubbing form

188
00:09:09,549 --> 00:09:13,152
right across the clavicle.
And a kick to the side of the head.

189
00:09:13,219 --> 00:09:15,688
Bret "The Hitman" Hart
is in deep, deep trouble here.

190
00:09:15,755 --> 00:09:17,189
[Randy] He's in big trouble early.

191
00:09:17,256 --> 00:09:20,927
[Bobby] But Razor cannot beat him outside.
He's got to get him in the ring.

192
00:09:20,993 --> 00:09:23,863
-Only winners advance, right, Ross?
-[Jim] That's exactly right.

193
00:09:23,930 --> 00:09:25,932
-Only the winners advance.
-[Bobby] He can't beat him on the floor.

194
00:09:25,998 --> 00:09:29,669
[Randy] Razor Ramon should do less talking
and more going for the pin.

195
00:09:29,735 --> 00:09:32,705
-[audience chanting]
-[Bobby] Well, so should "The Hitman".

196
00:09:32,772 --> 00:09:37,243
[Jim] Listen to the crowd chanting,
1-2-3 Kid, 1-2-3.

197
00:09:37,310 --> 00:09:38,477
[audience chanting]

198
00:09:38,544 --> 00:09:41,981
[Jim] And you know that's got
to get inside the head of that Razor Ramon

199
00:09:42,048 --> 00:09:45,584
who just buried that kick
deep into the ribs of "Macho Man"…

200
00:09:45,651 --> 00:09:48,287
Excuse me, "Macho Man",
of Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

201
00:09:48,354 --> 00:09:51,691
Randy Savage is virtually
livid here at ringside

202
00:09:51,757 --> 00:09:55,194
and I know what you're going through.
This is such an intense competition.

203
00:09:55,261 --> 00:09:59,131
[Randy] Now, there's a great move there.
Ramon stomped both hands.

204
00:09:59,198 --> 00:10:00,666
You can't grab a man,

205
00:10:00,733 --> 00:10:03,603
you can't punch a man
if your hands are broken.

206
00:10:03,669 --> 00:10:07,340
That's a great move.
He maybe the winner of the… Whoa.

207
00:10:07,406 --> 00:10:08,975
-[Jim] What a slam.
-[audience cheering]

208
00:10:09,041 --> 00:10:13,746
[Jim] Modified fallaway slam there,
lateral press, leg hook, two and a half.

209
00:10:13,813 --> 00:10:14,747
Close near fall.

210
00:10:14,814 --> 00:10:17,483
[Randy] Congratulations for Razor Ramon
for hooking the leg right there.

211
00:10:17,550 --> 00:10:20,453
He almost got him.
That's what you got to do.

212
00:10:21,787 --> 00:10:24,156
[Jim] A kick right to the face
by Razor Ramon.

213
00:10:24,223 --> 00:10:26,058
[Bobby] Or hook the tights.

214
00:10:26,125 --> 00:10:28,361
[Jim] For this first round match,

215
00:10:28,427 --> 00:10:31,697
it's gonna be extremely,
extremely fast paced

216
00:10:31,764 --> 00:10:34,667
and very offensive mind
with at least 15-minute time limits.

217
00:10:34,734 --> 00:10:38,604
And Razor Ramon has "The Hitman"
up in a precarious position here.

218
00:10:38,671 --> 00:10:43,376
Running powerslam and he planted him,
hooks the leg, and another near fall.

219
00:10:43,442 --> 00:10:45,411
Ramon looking very, very brutal

220
00:10:45,478 --> 00:10:48,547
and very powerful here
in this first matchup.

221
00:10:50,516 --> 00:10:52,752
Another kick right to the chest
trying to drive the air.

222
00:10:52,818 --> 00:10:55,254
[Bobby] You know, I bet Bret Hart
is kinda guy, he checks in a hotel

223
00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:58,224
and ask for a wakeup call
at 1:23 in the morning.

224
00:10:58,290 --> 00:11:01,694
They say, it's 1-2-3,
I bet he kicks outta bed.

225
00:11:03,029 --> 00:11:04,397
[Jim] That's an interesting analogy,
Brain.

226
00:11:04,463 --> 00:11:06,032
[Bobby] Well, he's just always…

227
00:11:06,098 --> 00:11:08,801
You can tell the man is always
geared for wrestling. He's there to win.

228
00:11:08,868 --> 00:11:12,071
[Randy] That's useless information
at this time right now.

229
00:11:12,138 --> 00:11:14,407
Razor Ramon should go for a cover I think.

230
00:11:14,473 --> 00:11:15,608
[Jim] Remember the winner of this match

231
00:11:15,675 --> 00:11:21,514
will meet the winner of the Mr. Perfect,
Mr. Hughes matchup later to that tonight.

232
00:11:24,316 --> 00:11:27,520
Side slam for high impact moves from the…

233
00:11:27,586 --> 00:11:29,889
-[Randy] Come on, Razor.
-[Jim] …Razor Ramon.

234
00:11:29,955 --> 00:11:31,190
[Bobby] Cover him.

235
00:11:32,058 --> 00:11:36,729
[Jim] Ramon measures Hart and Bret Hart
used his quickness to avoid contact.

236
00:11:36,796 --> 00:11:39,131
-He does it again.
-[audience cheering]

237
00:11:39,198 --> 00:11:42,101
[Jim] Razor Ramon trying
to drag those elbows to "The Hitman".

238
00:11:42,168 --> 00:11:43,602
Both men back up to a vertical base,

239
00:11:43,669 --> 00:11:46,439
right hands by "The Hitman",
more right hands

240
00:11:46,505 --> 00:11:49,041
and he's got big Razor Ramon
reeling back to the corner.

241
00:11:49,108 --> 00:11:52,011
This crowd going nuts
here in Dayton, Ohio.

242
00:11:53,212 --> 00:11:56,716
"The Hitman" has him up
inverted atomic drop.

243
00:11:56,782 --> 00:11:59,018
-[Randy] And a baby Bret.
-[Jim] And a clothesline.

244
00:11:59,085 --> 00:12:01,353
Hart now going for the cover,
lateral press.

245
00:12:01,420 --> 00:12:04,723
[Randy] No, no, no, he don't have him.
He don't have him.

246
00:12:04,790 --> 00:12:08,961
-Razor has got too much fight left in him.
-[Bobby] And an Irish Whip.

247
00:12:09,028 --> 00:12:10,896
He buried the right hand
to the mid-section.

248
00:12:10,963 --> 00:12:14,567
[Jim] Side Russian leg-sweep.
A side Russian leg-sweep by Hart.

249
00:12:14,633 --> 00:12:17,236
Lateral press,
and again Razor Ramon able to kick out.

250
00:12:17,303 --> 00:12:20,239
[Randy] Give Razor Ramon credit.
He is fighting tough.

251
00:12:20,306 --> 00:12:23,542
-This is for all the marbles right here.
-[audience cheering]

252
00:12:23,609 --> 00:12:26,579
[Jim] Perfectly executed backbreaker
by Hart.

253
00:12:26,645 --> 00:12:32,084
Another lateral press, but once again
Razor Ramon refuses to be pinned.

254
00:12:32,151 --> 00:12:35,454
[Bobby] It's an instinct, Ross.
You would know that. You're from Oklahoma.

255
00:12:35,521 --> 00:12:38,457
Your biggest deal is Nelson pin.

256
00:12:38,524 --> 00:12:40,126
-[Jim] Elbow right off the top.
-[audience cheering]

257
00:12:40,192 --> 00:12:42,762
[Jim] He dominated him.
This could be all. One, two…

258
00:12:42,828 --> 00:12:44,130
-Did he get it?
-[Bobby] No. No. No.

259
00:12:44,196 --> 00:12:45,097
-[Randy] Almost.
-[Bobby] No.

260
00:12:45,164 --> 00:12:48,033
[Jim] Oh, that was close. So, so close.

261
00:12:49,401 --> 00:12:52,104
[Bobby] If you want something close,
go shave your face.

262
00:12:52,171 --> 00:12:53,839
[Jim] Headbutt by Hart.

263
00:12:53,906 --> 00:12:55,608
And Ramon missed
that big round house right.

264
00:12:55,674 --> 00:12:56,575
Bret Hart's got him rolled up,

265
00:12:56,642 --> 00:13:01,013
and Ramon with that great leg strength
able to kick out once again.

266
00:13:02,648 --> 00:13:06,552
[Bobby] Boy, they want it bad, don't they?
They're fighting for everything.

267
00:13:06,619 --> 00:13:12,625
[Jim] Bret Hart shut off from Razor Ramon,
chest first into the top turnbuckle.

268
00:13:13,859 --> 00:13:16,729
[Randy] Come on, Razor.
Take advantage. Pick him up.

269
00:13:16,795 --> 00:13:18,464
[Bobby] Take advantage.

270
00:13:20,132 --> 00:13:23,102
[Randy] No, no, Razor.
Look at that humanoids. Get him, get him.

271
00:13:23,169 --> 00:13:24,370
[audience cheering]

272
00:13:24,436 --> 00:13:26,705
[Jim] Razor Ramon has used his power

273
00:13:26,772 --> 00:13:29,675
and his mass on several occasions
in this one.

274
00:13:29,742 --> 00:13:32,411
What a grueling first round matchup.

275
00:13:32,478 --> 00:13:36,515
Try to set him with that Razor's edge.
He's got him up on his shoulder.

276
00:13:36,582 --> 00:13:39,151
This would be all.
You got to think for "The Hitman".

277
00:13:39,218 --> 00:13:40,653
[Randy] Bye-bye, "Hitman".

278
00:13:40,719 --> 00:13:42,755
[Jim] Oh, he's got…
He can't let this happen.

279
00:13:42,822 --> 00:13:44,490
-[audience cheering]
-[Jim] Bret Hart's countering.

280
00:13:44,557 --> 00:13:46,725
-[Randy] No, no, no.
-[Jim] He's got the arms hooked.

281
00:13:46,792 --> 00:13:50,829
That will test his strength here.

282
00:13:50,896 --> 00:13:52,698
[Randy] What's "Hitman" doing?

283
00:13:52,765 --> 00:13:54,600
[Jim] What a resourceful move
by "The Hitman".

284
00:13:54,667 --> 00:13:56,268
-Inside cradle. One, two…
-[Bobby] No.

285
00:13:56,335 --> 00:13:57,436
-[audience cheering]
-[Randy] Oh, man.

286
00:13:57,503 --> 00:13:59,538
-[Bobby] Two. Two.
-[Randy] I thought he had him.

287
00:13:59,605 --> 00:14:02,174
[Jim] And a shoulder up.
I thought he had him too.

288
00:14:02,241 --> 00:14:05,377
[audience cheering]

289
00:14:05,444 --> 00:14:07,546
-[Jim] Oh, clothesline.
-[audience cheering]

290
00:14:07,613 --> 00:14:10,749
[Randy] What a great match.
And this is just the beginning.

291
00:14:10,816 --> 00:14:15,654
This is the King of the Ring.
How bad you want it, show us.

292
00:14:16,589 --> 00:14:20,192
[Jim] What a physical opening encounter.

293
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,896
[Randy] Can you imagine
one of these men will be the winner?

294
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:27,967
After taking a beating like this,
you got to come back and wrestle again.

295
00:14:28,033 --> 00:14:30,970
[Bobby] That takes a lotta conditioning,
a lotta courage, a lotta guts.

296
00:14:31,036 --> 00:14:32,104
[Jim] To win this tournament
you gotta wrestle--

297
00:14:32,171 --> 00:14:33,372
Oh, he countered it.

298
00:14:33,439 --> 00:14:35,708
-He countered a suplex.
-[Randy] No, he got him.

299
00:14:35,774 --> 00:14:36,775
-[bell ringing]
-[Jim] He got him this time.

300
00:14:36,842 --> 00:14:38,510
What a… what a victory.

301
00:14:38,577 --> 00:14:40,179
-[upbeat music playing]
-[audience cheering]

302
00:14:40,246 --> 00:14:46,886
[Howard] Here is the winner,
Bret "Hitman" Hart.

303
00:14:46,952 --> 00:14:51,257
[Jim] What a tremendous counter move
in midair by Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

304
00:14:51,323 --> 00:14:53,359
-[upbeat music playing]
-[audience cheering]

305
00:14:53,425 --> 00:14:56,128
[Jim] Bret "The Hitman" Hart
will advance to the tournament

306
00:14:56,195 --> 00:15:00,232
to take on the winner
between Mr. Perfect and Mr. Hughes.

307
00:15:00,299 --> 00:15:04,803
Oh, what a… what a situation.
What a matchup.

308
00:15:04,870 --> 00:15:07,339
-Ladies and--
-[Randy] Congratulations to "The Hitman".

309
00:15:07,406 --> 00:15:09,541
[Bobby] You know,
you're instrumental on this too, Savage,

310
00:15:09,608 --> 00:15:12,444
with the 1-2-3, you know, that junk hook.

311
00:15:12,511 --> 00:15:15,514
[Jim] Let's take another quick look at it,
gentlemen. One more time.

312
00:15:16,215 --> 00:15:18,617
[Randy] Look at this.
I'm sure he has him right here.

313
00:15:18,684 --> 00:15:22,988
But somehow "The Hitman" pulled his hair,
spun around and got the 1-2-3.

314
00:15:23,055 --> 00:15:24,957
-[Bobby] That's not right.
-[upbeat music playing]

315
00:15:25,024 --> 00:15:29,161
[Jim] Ladies and gentlemen,
this weekend on WWE Superstars,

316
00:15:29,228 --> 00:15:32,431
what an altercation between The Undertaker
and Mr. Hughes.

317
00:15:32,498 --> 00:15:36,702
-Let's take a look at that confrontation.
-[audience cheering]

318
00:15:36,769 --> 00:15:39,038
[Jim] This is great, Vince McMahon.
This is beautiful.

319
00:15:39,104 --> 00:15:40,272
[Randy] This is bad.

320
00:15:40,339 --> 00:15:41,540
-[Jim] No, it's not.
-[Randy] Yeah. Let me tell you.

321
00:15:41,607 --> 00:15:43,509
[Jim] You are seeing history
in the making here.

322
00:15:43,575 --> 00:15:45,577
This is one of the greatest
that I have ever seen.

323
00:15:45,644 --> 00:15:48,380
Harvey Wippleman
is obviously a mastermind.

324
00:15:48,447 --> 00:15:51,216
Look at the way
he put Giant Gonzalez out there

325
00:15:51,283 --> 00:15:53,419
to distract The Undertaker. Look it.

326
00:15:53,485 --> 00:15:54,620
The Undertaker doesn't even know--

327
00:15:54,687 --> 00:15:56,655
[Randy] Get outta the ring.
Get outta the building.

328
00:15:56,722 --> 00:15:59,892
[Bobby] Mr. Hughes with the urn
grabbing the back of The Undertaker.

329
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:01,493
-Did you see that?
-He just…

330
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,896
[Bobby]
Yes, I see it rammed The Undertaker

331
00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:06,332
in the back of the head denting the urn.

332
00:16:06,398 --> 00:16:08,200
He has it back in his hands again.

333
00:16:08,267 --> 00:16:11,036
[Jim] Vince McMahon,
you are seeing history in the making here.

334
00:16:11,103 --> 00:16:13,605
This is what the people
have been waiting to see for years.

335
00:16:13,672 --> 00:16:17,409
-The Undertaker being laid out.
-[Randy] This is a set up.

336
00:16:17,476 --> 00:16:19,611
This is what… This is just a set up.

337
00:16:19,678 --> 00:16:23,382
[audience cheering]

338
00:16:23,449 --> 00:16:25,150
[Jim] Harvey Wippleman made a promise

339
00:16:25,217 --> 00:16:29,321
that he would make the Undertaker pay
and he is. He's laid him out flat.

340
00:16:29,388 --> 00:16:32,691
[Randy] Well, I was in a situation
just like this at WrestleMania IX.

341
00:16:32,758 --> 00:16:35,427
And the Undertaker came back not once,
not twice, but three times--

342
00:16:35,494 --> 00:16:36,895
[Jim] Oh, wait a minute. Look.

343
00:16:36,962 --> 00:16:39,198
[Randy] Come on, Undertaker.
Stand up, brother.

344
00:16:39,264 --> 00:16:41,166
Clear the ring. Do that thing.

345
00:16:41,233 --> 00:16:44,303
[Jim]
Paul Bearer is trying to get back up.

346
00:16:44,370 --> 00:16:46,538
Undertaker is yet to get up.

347
00:16:46,605 --> 00:16:48,907
-Paul Bearer--
-[Randy] Load a little longer, Hughes.

348
00:16:48,974 --> 00:16:51,577
[Jim] Oh, no. Wait a minute.
Oh, he just shaved up.

349
00:16:51,643 --> 00:16:54,213
-[audience cheering]
-What's going on?

350
00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:55,514
[bell ringing]

351
00:16:55,581 --> 00:16:58,417
[Howard] This first round
King of the Ring tournament match

352
00:16:58,484 --> 00:17:02,021
is scheduled for one fall
with the fifteen-minute time limit.

353
00:17:02,087 --> 00:17:06,658
Currently, in the ring with his manager,
Harvey Wippleman,

354
00:17:06,725 --> 00:17:08,927
from Kansas City, Missouri,

355
00:17:08,994 --> 00:17:15,134
-weighing 332 pounds, Mr. Hughes.
-[audience cheering]

356
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,936
[Jim] Ladies and gentlemen,
that altercation happened this weekend

357
00:17:18,003 --> 00:17:20,072
on WWE Superstars

358
00:17:20,139 --> 00:17:24,143
and that's the price
that Mr. Hughes has obtained that urn

359
00:17:24,209 --> 00:17:25,911
as we go back up to that [inaudible].

360
00:17:25,978 --> 00:17:27,312
-[upbeat music playing]
-[audience cheering]

361
00:17:27,379 --> 00:17:33,052
[Howard] His opponent,
weighing 254 pounds,

362
00:17:33,118 --> 00:17:36,855
-Mr. Perfect.
-[audience cheering]

363
00:17:36,922 --> 00:17:40,826
[Bobby] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Mr. Perfect, big deal.

364
00:17:40,893 --> 00:17:42,428
[Jim] He is a big deal.

365
00:17:42,494 --> 00:17:46,799
Great second generation athlete,
the son of Larry "The Axe" Hennig.

366
00:17:46,865 --> 00:17:49,068
Two-time Intercontinental Champion.

367
00:17:49,134 --> 00:17:54,206
This young man excels in so many sports
with too numerous commissions.

368
00:17:54,273 --> 00:17:58,410
[Bobby] Isn't that Savage just picked
to win the King of the Ring?

369
00:17:59,111 --> 00:18:01,947
[Jim] Right. Yes. "Macho Man",
you're going perfect, right?

370
00:18:02,014 --> 00:18:04,983
[Randy] You put me on a spot there,
and I'm picking Mr. Perfect.

371
00:18:05,050 --> 00:18:09,254
But congratulations for "The Hitman"
for getting past Razor Ramon,

372
00:18:09,321 --> 00:18:14,259
and Mr. Hughes is holding stolen property
from The Undertaker.

373
00:18:14,326 --> 00:18:19,198
[Jim] The winner of this contest
will take on Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

374
00:18:19,264 --> 00:18:21,200
[Bobby] Well, here's the ballbag,

375
00:18:21,266 --> 00:18:24,770
there's Mr. Perfect and there's the gum,
going, going…

376
00:18:24,837 --> 00:18:27,106
It's a brain scan by the way, humanoid.

377
00:18:27,172 --> 00:18:32,244
Going, going, going, fall ball.

378
00:18:32,311 --> 00:18:34,913
[Jim] All right.
Well, your artistic ability is second

379
00:18:34,980 --> 00:18:36,315
only to your vocabulary in time.

380
00:18:36,381 --> 00:18:39,084
[Bobby] Don't worry,
I'm not gonna call off one here for you,

381
00:18:39,151 --> 00:18:40,219
you're not Monsoon.

382
00:18:40,285 --> 00:18:42,054
You look like him, but you're not him.

383
00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:45,257
-[Jim] And I'll take that as a compliment.
-[audience cheering]

384
00:18:45,324 --> 00:18:48,260
[Jim] All right. This one should be
very, very interesting indeed.

385
00:18:48,327 --> 00:18:52,331
The raw power, the brute-force
of the former Kansas State Wildcat,

386
00:18:52,397 --> 00:18:58,804
Mr. Hughes against the technical expertise
of quickness and speed of Mr. Perfect.

387
00:18:58,871 --> 00:19:01,573
-Collar-and-elbow tie up here.
-[Bobby] You know, Perfect gives up.

388
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,009
He gives away over a hundred pounds
in this match.

389
00:19:04,076 --> 00:19:08,113
-[Randy] Oh, wow.
-[Jim] The power of big Mr. Hughes.

390
00:19:08,180 --> 00:19:11,083
[Bobby] He is one mean dude, isn't he?

391
00:19:11,149 --> 00:19:12,985
[Jim] He was
one of the most penalized football players

392
00:19:13,051 --> 00:19:15,354
in Big Eight Conference history,
"Macho Man".

393
00:19:15,420 --> 00:19:17,289
He's had an attitude problem a long time.

394
00:19:17,356 --> 00:19:19,158
[Randy] All right.
But let's talk about Mr. Perfect.

395
00:19:19,224 --> 00:19:23,896
He won against Doink three times
to get into the finals guaranteed.

396
00:19:23,962 --> 00:19:25,297
And he was persistent. Huh?

397
00:19:25,364 --> 00:19:28,567
[Bobby] You're right.
That is really something.

398
00:19:28,634 --> 00:19:31,036
[Jim] Great movement
by the 300 plus pounder.

399
00:19:31,103 --> 00:19:31,937
[Randy] Oh!

400
00:19:32,004 --> 00:19:34,973
[Jim] Takeover by Mr. Perfect
taking that man off his feet.

401
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,477
Perfect wants to wrestle a fast match.
A big pace with the far side.

402
00:19:38,544 --> 00:19:41,480
Faded jelly by Perfect and a dropkick.
Oh, what a move.

403
00:19:41,547 --> 00:19:44,383
And it rocked the big man
but it did not take him off his feet.

404
00:19:44,449 --> 00:19:46,852
[Bobby] That's something.
Perfect gets you with a dropkick

405
00:19:46,919 --> 00:19:48,987
and you stand there and look at him.

406
00:19:49,054 --> 00:19:51,523
This is something.

407
00:19:52,024 --> 00:19:53,859
You know,
I know Perfect is a great athlete.

408
00:19:53,926 --> 00:19:56,028
I'm… I was affiliated with him.

409
00:19:56,094 --> 00:19:58,430
I managed him, I handle his money.
I do a lotta stuff.

410
00:19:58,497 --> 00:20:00,232
-I made him a star yesterday.
-[Jim] Wrong.

411
00:20:00,299 --> 00:20:02,401
-[Bobby] And he reap… Dong?
-[Jim] Wrong.

412
00:20:02,467 --> 00:20:05,103
[Bobby] Dong. Oh, I tell you something
about him though.

413
00:20:05,170 --> 00:20:06,672
He will never quit
because he's not bright guy--

414
00:20:06,738 --> 00:20:08,307
[Jim] Gosh, what a right hand.

415
00:20:08,373 --> 00:20:11,076
What a right hand and it
and it found its mark.

416
00:20:11,143 --> 00:20:14,279
And it knocked Perfect, "Macho Man"
all the way over the top rope.

417
00:20:14,346 --> 00:20:17,115
[Randy] Mr. Perfect is groggy
right here early.

418
00:20:17,182 --> 00:20:18,784
In this first round matches,

419
00:20:18,850 --> 00:20:20,852
you don't have much time
to get it together.

420
00:20:20,919 --> 00:20:23,655
So, Mr. Perfect, better do it quick.

421
00:20:23,722 --> 00:20:25,791
[Bobby] The last thing you want
is someone to ring your bell early.

422
00:20:25,857 --> 00:20:29,194
[Jim] Headbutt by the Hughes… Mr. Hughes.

423
00:20:29,261 --> 00:20:34,266
And fighting right back, fighting back
with great tenacity as Mr. Perfect.

424
00:20:34,333 --> 00:20:37,569
Oh, what a clubbing forearm blow
by Hughes.

425
00:20:37,636 --> 00:20:41,740
[Bobby] Do you think after this match
Mr. Perfect can join The Undertaker

426
00:20:41,807 --> 00:20:45,410
and Paul Bearer and they can all share
a hospital ward together?

427
00:20:47,846 --> 00:20:49,348
[Jim] Hughes has slowed the pace now.

428
00:20:49,414 --> 00:20:53,452
This is exactly as he wanted
to wrestle this contest

429
00:20:53,518 --> 00:20:57,623
to negate the speed advantage
of Mr. Perfect using that neck.

430
00:20:57,689 --> 00:21:00,859
Perfect has got to work his way back up
to a vertical base,

431
00:21:00,926 --> 00:21:03,695
alleviate some of the pressure he does so.

432
00:21:04,363 --> 00:21:07,799
Those acts like blows to the midsection.

433
00:21:07,866 --> 00:21:11,303
-Oh, gosh. Oh, my gosh.
-[audience cheering]

434
00:21:11,370 --> 00:21:13,805
[Randy] That could be a home run
right there in a quick knockout

435
00:21:13,872 --> 00:21:17,576
and a big victory for Mr. Hughes
over Mr. Perfect.

436
00:21:17,643 --> 00:21:22,881
[Jim] Remember the winner of this match
will meet Bret "The Hitman" Hart

437
00:21:22,948 --> 00:21:25,584
in the semifinals
of this single elimination

438
00:21:25,651 --> 00:21:27,452
King of the Ring tournament.

439
00:21:27,519 --> 00:21:30,722
[Randy] Mr. Hughes might be making
this biggest mistake of his career

440
00:21:30,789 --> 00:21:32,491
by not going for the pin right now.

441
00:21:32,557 --> 00:21:33,625
[Bobby] You're right, Savage.

442
00:21:33,692 --> 00:21:35,527
You're a 100% right.
When a guy like Perfect,

443
00:21:35,594 --> 00:21:39,364
you got to take him out
as quick as you can when you can.

444
00:21:39,431 --> 00:21:43,535
[Jim] High impact clothesline
by Mr. Hughes.

445
00:21:44,102 --> 00:21:49,308
Hughes comes with that heavy artillery.
Obviously, snapmare perfect over.

446
00:21:49,374 --> 00:21:50,342
He's gonna use that bulk

447
00:21:50,409 --> 00:21:54,012
and he's focusing on the neck
of his opponent in this contest.

448
00:21:54,079 --> 00:21:57,616
[audience cheering]

449
00:21:57,683 --> 00:21:58,984
-[Bobby] Yeah. It's pretty hard to--
-[Randy] Look at that.

450
00:21:59,051 --> 00:22:01,019
Mr. Perfect is grabbing his tie there.

451
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,689
That's a tough decision
for the referee now.

452
00:22:03,755 --> 00:22:06,692
What gives on that? How do you call it?

453
00:22:06,758 --> 00:22:09,027
[Bobby] If you disqualify Perfect,
you give the match to Mr. Hughes.

454
00:22:09,094 --> 00:22:11,963
[Randy] You can't do it there or you get
to at least get a warning in there.

455
00:22:12,030 --> 00:22:15,834
[Jim] Right there. The blatant hair fall,
he's buried in each of his midsection.

456
00:22:15,901 --> 00:22:17,869
[man] Come on, Mr. Perfect.

457
00:22:21,306 --> 00:22:23,975
[Jim] Oh, wow. What a, what an Irish Whip.

458
00:22:24,042 --> 00:22:26,278
-[Bobby] Bye-bye, Mr. Perfect. It's over.
-[Jim] Perfect--

459
00:22:26,345 --> 00:22:29,681
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
we understand that Bret "The Hitman" Hart

460
00:22:29,748 --> 00:22:31,683
is observing this matchup.

461
00:22:31,750 --> 00:22:34,853
And, Bret, I know that--
Do you have any preference Bret Hart

462
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,957
as to who you wrestle
in the semifinals of this match?

463
00:22:39,024 --> 00:22:41,093
Well, I tell you the truth,
it's a really tough thing to say

464
00:22:41,159 --> 00:22:43,995
because if you talk about endurance wise,

465
00:22:44,062 --> 00:22:47,165
I think Mr. Perfect can go the distance
which is about anybody.

466
00:22:47,232 --> 00:22:48,834
But as far as Mr. Hughes go,

467
00:22:48,900 --> 00:22:51,303
you're talking about
kinda going in a brawling type match.

468
00:22:51,370 --> 00:22:53,705
And I think
I got to go with the endurance.

469
00:22:53,772 --> 00:22:56,708
I'd rather wrestle somebody with endurance
and go for the wrestling,

470
00:22:56,775 --> 00:22:57,809
go for the wrestling holds.

471
00:22:57,876 --> 00:23:01,246
[Jim] All right. So, obviously,
you're going with Mr. Perfect in this one.

472
00:23:01,313 --> 00:23:03,849
Yeah. And for the fact that
I think I like him better.

473
00:23:03,915 --> 00:23:05,650
[Jim] All right. Thank you,
Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

474
00:23:05,717 --> 00:23:08,553
[Bobby] You know something, Ross,
if Bret "The Hitman" Hart was smart,

475
00:23:08,620 --> 00:23:09,688
he want him both to lose,

476
00:23:09,755 --> 00:23:11,456
so he wouldn't have to wrestle
either one of them.

477
00:23:11,523 --> 00:23:14,926
It shows you the mentality
of Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

478
00:23:14,993 --> 00:23:17,863
[Jim] He's a, he's a competitor.
He is a competitor.

479
00:23:17,929 --> 00:23:20,632
[Bobby] He's the 14th of 13 children,
that's what he is.

480
00:23:20,699 --> 00:23:24,302
[Jim] And Mr. Perfect
is in big, big trouble.

481
00:23:25,337 --> 00:23:29,307
Hughes using that mass and bulk
to try to Rob Perfect of the oxygen.

482
00:23:29,374 --> 00:23:30,742
Look at him leaning on a brain.

483
00:23:30,809 --> 00:23:33,645
[Bobby] You know, Perfect
as quick as he is and as fast as he is

484
00:23:33,712 --> 00:23:35,847
and as good as he is,
should have knocked--

485
00:23:35,914 --> 00:23:36,915
-[Randy] Oh.
-[audience cheering]

486
00:23:36,982 --> 00:23:40,652
-[Jim] He used the speed right there.
-[audience cheering]

487
00:23:40,719 --> 00:23:43,922
-[Bobby] Boy, that will stop you.
-[audience cheering]

488
00:23:43,989 --> 00:23:48,527
-[Bobby] That will stop you quick.
-[Jim] Knife edge chop by Perfect.

489
00:23:48,593 --> 00:23:52,230
-Irish Whip far side, hip lock take over.
-[audience cheering]

490
00:23:52,297 --> 00:23:54,733
[Jim] Great leverage move there
by Mr. Perfect

491
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,836
as he quickens the pace once again.
High elevation.

492
00:23:57,903 --> 00:23:58,837
[Jim] A back body drop.

493
00:23:58,904 --> 00:24:04,476
[Randy] That's 360 something pounds
going 18, I mean, 8, 10 feet in the air.

494
00:24:05,644 --> 00:24:07,479
[Jim] Momentum changing here.

495
00:24:07,546 --> 00:24:12,651
It would seem snapmares him over
and Perfect snaps the neck of the big man.

496
00:24:13,452 --> 00:24:17,255
-Hughes' neck must be 20 inches at least--
-[Randy] On one side.

497
00:24:17,322 --> 00:24:19,224
But it didn't bother him that much.

498
00:24:19,291 --> 00:24:22,661
It did not bother him that much.
You know, he's a big, big man.

499
00:24:23,128 --> 00:24:25,363
[Randy] I tell you what,
Mr. Perfect better forget those chops

500
00:24:25,430 --> 00:24:27,966
because I'm sure it's gonna
take this thing outta him right there.

501
00:24:28,033 --> 00:24:30,001
Mr. Perfect better
just go for anything he can.

502
00:24:30,068 --> 00:24:32,070
[Jim] And wait, wait.
He's going for that urn there.

503
00:24:32,137 --> 00:24:32,971
[Randy] No way--

504
00:24:33,038 --> 00:24:35,373
[Jim] He's doing what he did
to The Undertaker. He… Oh, my gosh.

505
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:36,308
-He hit Perfect…
-[bell ringing]

506
00:24:36,374 --> 00:24:37,542
-[Jim] …right to the side of the head.
-[Bobby] Oh, no.

507
00:24:37,609 --> 00:24:38,710
[Jim] He hit him in the side of the head

508
00:24:38,777 --> 00:24:39,811
-with that urn.
-[Bobby] Oh, no.

509
00:24:39,878 --> 00:24:42,013
Let's get the official decision.

510
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,315
[Howard] Ladies and gentlemen,

511
00:24:43,381 --> 00:24:48,286
the referee has awarded the bout
as a result of a disqualification

512
00:24:48,353 --> 00:24:51,890
-to Mr. Perfect.
-["Perfection" music playing]

513
00:24:51,957 --> 00:24:55,861
[Jim] All right, ladies and gentlemen,
so Perfect will advance…

514
00:24:57,395 --> 00:25:01,099
and Hughes nearly with that urn
got himself disqualified.

515
00:25:01,166 --> 00:25:02,534
Perfect has got to get outta there.

516
00:25:02,601 --> 00:25:05,871
He knows that he has more majestic to pick

517
00:25:05,937 --> 00:25:11,443
specifically in the semifinals
as you will see.

518
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:16,615
Let's take a look, ladies and gentlemen,
at what we have seen transpire so far.

519
00:25:16,681 --> 00:25:19,050
Bret "The Hitman" Hart
has defeated Razor Ramon.

520
00:25:19,117 --> 00:25:23,388
He'll be in the semifinal
as well Mr. Perfect who just earned

521
00:25:23,455 --> 00:25:27,459
a disqualification victory
over Mr. Hughes.

522
00:25:27,525 --> 00:25:29,828
Now, let's go
to some pre-recorded comments

523
00:25:29,895 --> 00:25:35,901
with our colleague, "Mean Gene" Okerlund,
along with Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna.

524
00:25:36,635 --> 00:25:38,970
[Gene] We are at the dressing room area
of the challenger

525
00:25:39,037 --> 00:25:42,274
for the World Wrestling Entertainment
title in the main event tonight.

526
00:25:42,340 --> 00:25:46,211
We are here with Yokozuna and his manager.

527
00:25:46,278 --> 00:25:50,048
And, gentlemen, I must say
the last time that Yokozuna had occasion

528
00:25:50,115 --> 00:25:54,252
to get into the ring with Hulk Hogan,
the results were disastrous.

529
00:25:54,319 --> 00:25:56,288
As a matter of fact,
in that very controversial match--

530
00:25:56,354 --> 00:25:57,689
Wait a minute.

531
00:25:57,756 --> 00:26:02,661
Let me tell you, in WrestleMania IX
my Yokozuna defeated you,

532
00:26:02,727 --> 00:26:07,365
Bret "Hitman" Hart,
a hard 20-minute match plus.

533
00:26:07,432 --> 00:26:14,072
And you Hulk Hogan cheated. You cheated.
You stole the belt from my Yokozuna.

534
00:26:14,139 --> 00:26:17,375
Come tonight, [inaudible],
as you look across the ring

535
00:26:17,442 --> 00:26:23,415
you'll see a different Yokozuna,
a bigger Yokozuna, a wiser Yokozuna.

536
00:26:23,481 --> 00:26:25,650
Go ahead, Yokozuna.
[speaking Japanese]

537
00:26:25,717 --> 00:26:30,055
Hulk Hogan, American hero,

538
00:26:30,121 --> 00:26:35,727
you and America will go down.

539
00:26:35,794 --> 00:26:38,363
[speaking Japanese]

540
00:26:40,699 --> 00:26:41,900
[bell ringing]

541
00:26:41,967 --> 00:26:44,703
[Howard] This first round
King of the Ringtournament match

542
00:26:44,769 --> 00:26:49,207
is scheduled for one fall
with the fifteen-minute time limit.

543
00:26:49,274 --> 00:26:53,511
About to enter the ring,
from Asbury Park, New Jersey,

544
00:26:53,578 --> 00:26:57,315
weighing 390 pounds,

545
00:26:57,382 --> 00:27:01,553
Bam Bam Bigelow.

546
00:27:01,620 --> 00:27:05,790
[Jim] All right, ladies and gentlemen,
a very determined Yokozuna.

547
00:27:05,857 --> 00:27:09,628
-[Howard] Bam Bam--
-[Jim] Certainly, it'll be very focused…

548
00:27:10,495 --> 00:27:12,731
on his championship encounter.

549
00:27:12,797 --> 00:27:14,933
[Bobby] Jim, if you know anything
about the Japanese culture,

550
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,334
I've been to Japan a lot.

551
00:27:16,401 --> 00:27:19,638
They're dedicated.
They do not like to lose faith.

552
00:27:19,704 --> 00:27:22,774
And they'll do anything they can to win
and anything they can

553
00:27:22,841 --> 00:27:25,577
-to embarrass you.
-[Howard] …weighing 280 pounds,

554
00:27:25,644 --> 00:27:29,514
Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

555
00:27:29,581 --> 00:27:31,983
[Jim] Tremendous ovation
for Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

556
00:27:32,050 --> 00:27:32,984
[Bobby] I don't know why.

557
00:27:33,051 --> 00:27:38,023
[Jim] Glen Falls, New York, contribution
to the World Wrestling Entertainment

558
00:27:38,089 --> 00:27:43,495
as he brings in old glory with him
to take on a real bad Andre

559
00:27:43,561 --> 00:27:47,699
who grew up on the streets
of Asbury Park, New Jersey.

560
00:27:47,766 --> 00:27:52,771
-[Bobby] The beast from the east.
-[audience cheering]

561
00:27:52,837 --> 00:27:55,140
[Randy] Favors in this tournament.

562
00:27:55,206 --> 00:27:56,274
[upbeat music playing]

563
00:27:56,341 --> 00:27:58,843
[Bobby] You're right about that.
Duggan has a big favor.

564
00:27:58,910 --> 00:28:03,481
But, I mean, you wrestle the man
390 almost 400 pounds

565
00:28:03,548 --> 00:28:07,252
that has his head tattooed.
The man can take pain.

566
00:28:08,286 --> 00:28:09,254
[Jim] The winner of this contest

567
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,457
will meet the winner
of the Narcissist Lex Luger

568
00:28:12,524 --> 00:28:15,694
and the undefeated
Native American, Tatanka.

569
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,229
-Confrontation.
-[audience chanting]

570
00:28:18,296 --> 00:28:23,168
[Jim] And Hacksaw Jim Duggan
quickly getting this sold out crowd

571
00:28:23,234 --> 00:28:24,769
from the Nutter Center.

572
00:28:24,836 --> 00:28:27,939
We're in the Heartland of America,
Dayton, Ohio.

573
00:28:28,006 --> 00:28:31,042
And he's getting him involved
in the early going.

574
00:28:31,109 --> 00:28:34,012
Boy, this should be a battle
of two big bulls here.

575
00:28:34,079 --> 00:28:35,980
-[audience cheering]
-[Randy] Absolutely.

576
00:28:36,047 --> 00:28:39,818
And I'm thinking right now
that I'm going with the momentum

577
00:28:39,884 --> 00:28:43,922
with the Heart of America right there
with Mr. USA, Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

578
00:28:43,988 --> 00:28:45,023
Go get him.

579
00:28:45,090 --> 00:28:47,892
[Jim] Side headlock
by big Bam Bam Bigelow.

580
00:28:47,959 --> 00:28:49,227
Duggan called us some separation

581
00:28:49,294 --> 00:28:51,062
-and they run together like two big bulls.
-[audience cheering]

582
00:28:51,129 --> 00:28:54,165
Duggan was a state Amateur Champion
in New York State,

583
00:28:54,232 --> 00:28:55,834
played football
in Southern Methodist University

584
00:28:55,900 --> 00:28:57,836
and for Atlanta Falcons in the NFL
and make a lotta game.

585
00:28:57,902 --> 00:29:00,105
[Bobby] Hey, man, hey, can it…

586
00:29:00,171 --> 00:29:02,874
No one cares what anybody did
as an amateur.

587
00:29:02,941 --> 00:29:05,710
Cash, pal.
Big moneys what you got to make.

588
00:29:05,777 --> 00:29:08,079
-Boom.
-Big deal. I got a leather sweater.

589
00:29:08,146 --> 00:29:11,149
[Jim] Who is…
Duggan is rocking the 400 pounder…

590
00:29:11,916 --> 00:29:14,919
and finally takes the big man
off his feet, "Macho Man".

591
00:29:14,986 --> 00:29:17,055
[Randy] Okay.
But Duggan stay outta him right now.

592
00:29:17,122 --> 00:29:18,256
You don't have much time

593
00:29:18,323 --> 00:29:21,426
and the beast from the east
is very creditable.

594
00:29:21,493 --> 00:29:24,729
He got into the finals
just like you did through hard work.

595
00:29:24,796 --> 00:29:26,531
[Bobby] You're right about that, Savage.

596
00:29:26,598 --> 00:29:29,601
You only got so much time
you're gonna take advantage of it.

597
00:29:29,667 --> 00:29:31,569
This is it, King of the Ring.

598
00:29:31,636 --> 00:29:34,839
[Jim] All the first round matches
are one fall with a 15-minute time limit.

599
00:29:34,906 --> 00:29:36,708
The semifinals, one fall, thirty.

600
00:29:36,774 --> 00:29:39,511
And the final, "Macho Man",
will be one fall with an hour.

601
00:29:39,577 --> 00:29:41,613
[Randy] That's exactly right.
The strategy.

602
00:29:41,679 --> 00:29:44,149
You got to know what's going on
here in the King of the Ring.

603
00:29:44,215 --> 00:29:46,618
This is the first King of the Ring
ever to be crowned

604
00:29:46,684 --> 00:29:48,620
and the prestigious, unbelievable.

605
00:29:48,686 --> 00:29:52,824
[Jim] Hence, we are coming to you live
from the Nutter Center Dayton, Ohio.

606
00:29:52,891 --> 00:29:56,427
As big Bam Bam Bigelow finally fights
his way back into the ring.

607
00:29:57,295 --> 00:29:59,798
[Bobby] But notice,
Bigelow is taking his time.

608
00:29:59,864 --> 00:30:02,534
He's gonna wait for Duggan
to make a mistake which he did.

609
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,202
He went with his eyes.

610
00:30:05,603 --> 00:30:08,706
[Jim] Duggan blocks those right hands,
comes to the right to left of his own.

611
00:30:08,773 --> 00:30:12,811
Those big hands of Duggan find their mark
has Bigelow reeling back into the corner

612
00:30:12,877 --> 00:30:14,879
this just turned into a slugfest.

613
00:30:14,946 --> 00:30:17,215
[Randy] They're slugging it out, for sure.

614
00:30:17,282 --> 00:30:19,050
[Jim] Duggan's ribs
right into the turnbuckle

615
00:30:19,117 --> 00:30:20,652
but he avoided that big splash.

616
00:30:20,718 --> 00:30:24,422
But Duggan may have broken a rib there
as he crashed into the turnbuckles.

617
00:30:24,489 --> 00:30:27,091
Duggan trying to…
Oh, trying the slamming.

618
00:30:27,158 --> 00:30:31,696
Trying to scoop him up,
and Bigelow headbutt Duggan's injured ribs

619
00:30:31,763 --> 00:30:36,100
apparently would not allow him
to get the-- Bam Bam Bigelow up.

620
00:30:36,167 --> 00:30:37,735
[Bobby] Are his ribs injured, Ross,

621
00:30:37,802 --> 00:30:42,273
or is he just choking
on some American apple pie?

622
00:30:43,074 --> 00:30:44,809
It was something he
ate didn't agree with him.

623
00:30:44,876 --> 00:30:47,478
[Randy] Not a chance, Bobby Heenan,
you're on the line right there.

624
00:30:47,545 --> 00:30:50,315
And so Jim Duggan is a tough competitor.

625
00:30:50,381 --> 00:30:55,386
He is a tough guy, and he's gonna go
at the beast from the east, you watch it.

626
00:30:55,453 --> 00:30:57,655
-[Bobby] But he's hurt. He's hurt.
-[Randy] He is hurt.

627
00:30:57,722 --> 00:30:58,656
[Jim] Trying to get the bear hug.

628
00:30:58,723 --> 00:31:02,493
We wanna tell everybody, thanks very much
for watching our broadcast in families

629
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,496
in all over the United States,
all over the world.

630
00:31:05,563 --> 00:31:09,834
Our… I've conversed here in Dayton, Ohio,
to see this event live

631
00:31:09,901 --> 00:31:14,739
as Bam Bam Bigelow sit us in that bear hug
but Duggan is fighting.

632
00:31:16,407 --> 00:31:19,510
[Bobby] He's a fighter, he's a competitor.
He'll keep going.

633
00:31:20,278 --> 00:31:24,048
And so is the beast from the east, boy.
He's a… Look at him. Look at the kicks.

634
00:31:24,115 --> 00:31:26,484
You can just hear it, ribs now,
but I like that.

635
00:31:26,551 --> 00:31:30,221
[Randy] Notice we haven't had
one cover for three count yet.

636
00:31:30,288 --> 00:31:32,257
[Jim] Talk to the families
and a lotta the great folks

637
00:31:32,323 --> 00:31:36,995
before the event earlier today,
men by bus, by car, by plane.

638
00:31:37,061 --> 00:31:39,030
And it is a headbutt.

639
00:31:39,097 --> 00:31:42,734
And we're happy to have them with us here
in the Heartland of America.

640
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:43,768
[Randy] Look at Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

641
00:31:43,835 --> 00:31:45,770
He's holding his ribs
just like Jim Ross said.

642
00:31:45,837 --> 00:31:50,008
[Jim] Oh, he's trying to slip.
He could get him up. Got his injured ribs.

643
00:31:50,074 --> 00:31:51,676
He has really hurt himself there.

644
00:31:51,743 --> 00:31:53,678
[Randy] But I'll tell you what,
he's still fighting.

645
00:31:53,745 --> 00:31:56,047
-[Jim] Oh, he'll never quit.
-[Randy] I believe that.

646
00:31:56,114 --> 00:31:58,149
[Jim] He'll never quit.
You can count on that.

647
00:31:58,216 --> 00:32:00,184
[Bobby] He's known as a quitter
in Glens Falls, I heard.

648
00:32:00,251 --> 00:32:01,352
-[Randy] Not a chance.
-[Jim] You heard wrong.

649
00:32:01,419 --> 00:32:03,288
-[Randy] You're wrong, Bobby Heenan.
-[Bobby] That's what I hear.

650
00:32:03,354 --> 00:32:05,390
[Jim] You hear a lotta things
that you make up, I believe.

651
00:32:05,456 --> 00:32:07,859
[Bobby] He was the whim of the town,
I hear.

652
00:32:07,926 --> 00:32:12,096
He just bully people around,
carry the board and work people over.

653
00:32:12,163 --> 00:32:13,097
[audience cheering]

654
00:32:13,164 --> 00:32:14,299
[Randy] Come on, Hacksaw.

655
00:32:14,365 --> 00:32:18,136
[Jim] Bigelow using his strength,
he's sensing that bear hug.

656
00:32:18,202 --> 00:32:20,605
Duggan has got to get back on the attack.

657
00:32:20,672 --> 00:32:23,274
But those injured rib…
Oh, Duggan, is he biting him?

658
00:32:24,442 --> 00:32:25,476
Duggan has taken a hook.

659
00:32:25,543 --> 00:32:29,347
-It looked like outta Bigelow--
-[Bobby] Duggan is hurt. Duggan is hurt.

660
00:32:30,014 --> 00:32:32,884
[Jim] That was a very desperate move,
something very unfair to wrestling.

661
00:32:32,951 --> 00:32:35,753
And Big Hacksaw reversed
the Irish Whip far side.

662
00:32:35,820 --> 00:32:38,356
Oh, Bigelow went for the kick,
but Duggan able to move outta the way.

663
00:32:38,423 --> 00:32:40,358
He still got some quickness there.

664
00:32:40,425 --> 00:32:41,726
[audience cheering]

665
00:32:41,793 --> 00:32:43,328
-[Jim] Got him--
-[Randy] Oh, he got him.

666
00:32:43,394 --> 00:32:45,163
[Jim] Oh, how much he got him up.

667
00:32:45,229 --> 00:32:48,733
-[Randy] That's almost 400 pounds.
-[audience cheering]

668
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,704
[Jim] Hacksaw Jim Duggan injured ribs
and all

669
00:32:52,770 --> 00:32:54,839
down in that three-point stance.

670
00:32:55,340 --> 00:33:00,244
And, oh, he struck the top turnbuckle
with his head.

671
00:33:00,311 --> 00:33:02,947
Duggan just moved the ring for the impact.

672
00:33:03,715 --> 00:33:07,785
Bigelow up from the top,
Gone, 400 pounds with that headbutt.

673
00:33:07,852 --> 00:33:10,154
He's got the leg hook.
And Bigelow wins it.

674
00:33:10,221 --> 00:33:13,358
-[Jim] He will advance.
-[Randy] That's all Jim Duggan is history.

675
00:33:13,424 --> 00:33:15,693
[Bobby] Ladies and gentlemen,
we have a winner.

676
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,731
[Howard] Here is your winner,
Bam Bam Bigelow.

677
00:33:19,797 --> 00:33:21,499
[Jim] And he will meet the winner

678
00:33:21,566 --> 00:33:25,803
between "The Narcissist" Lex Luger
and Tatanka…

679
00:33:26,804 --> 00:33:28,639
coming up in a few moments.

680
00:33:28,706 --> 00:33:32,744
"Macho Man", let's take another look
at this instant replay.

681
00:33:32,810 --> 00:33:35,913
This headbutt is devastating.

682
00:33:37,415 --> 00:33:41,686
[Randy] Here's the beast from the east,
air traffic control, watch this.

683
00:33:41,753 --> 00:33:46,991
Guaranteed, he beat a tough guy,
beat Hacksaw Jim Duggan to continue live.

684
00:33:47,058 --> 00:33:51,095
-[Howard] Bam. Bam.
-[Jim] Let's take you now to Terry Taylor.

685
00:33:51,162 --> 00:33:52,897
I'm Terry Taylor
and I'm in the locker room.

686
00:33:52,964 --> 00:33:55,033
We're with the Smoking Gunns
and the Steiner Brothers

687
00:33:55,099 --> 00:33:58,903
only on coliseum video
where you get this interview exclusively.

688
00:33:58,970 --> 00:34:01,239
Now, listen, Billy, you're gonna
go against money incorporated

689
00:34:01,305 --> 00:34:03,341
and the Headshrinkers in an eight-man tag.

690
00:34:03,408 --> 00:34:04,742
You guys got to be the underdogs

691
00:34:04,809 --> 00:34:07,011
because the pressure is on your
first King of the Ringtournament.

692
00:34:07,078 --> 00:34:08,813
-How do you feel?
-That's true, Mr. Taylor.

693
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:09,847
The pressure is on,

694
00:34:09,914 --> 00:34:12,483
because this could be
like a mini battle royal.

695
00:34:12,550 --> 00:34:15,787
You're talking eight guys in the ring
at the same time could happen.

696
00:34:15,853 --> 00:34:18,423
But I can't think anybody
I'd rather have on my team

697
00:34:18,489 --> 00:34:20,625
than my brother, Bart,
and the Steiner Brothers.

698
00:34:20,691 --> 00:34:21,692
That's a good point.

699
00:34:21,759 --> 00:34:23,895
You guys have worked on that revolver,
your finishing maneuver.

700
00:34:23,961 --> 00:34:25,263
Do you think
that'll be the key to victory?

701
00:34:25,329 --> 00:34:27,799
You know, we worked on it hard
and we feel if we hit it on anybody,

702
00:34:27,865 --> 00:34:30,034
it'll beat anybody
in the World Wrestling Entertainment.

703
00:34:30,101 --> 00:34:32,703
Hmm. Well, Scotty Steiner,
you guys have been chasing money

704
00:34:32,770 --> 00:34:34,205
incorporated for quite a while now.

705
00:34:34,272 --> 00:34:36,541
Do you think the Frankensteiner
will be the key to victory?

706
00:34:36,607 --> 00:34:39,377
Oh, I know, Terry Taylor,
nobody has gone over the Frankensteiner.

707
00:34:39,444 --> 00:34:41,746
If I hit any of those four guys
with Frankensteiner tonight,

708
00:34:41,813 --> 00:34:42,680
we'll win the match.

709
00:34:42,747 --> 00:34:44,715
[Terry] That's a good point too.
Well, dog face--

710
00:34:44,782 --> 00:34:47,919
Yeah. You know, he comes underdog
because we're gonna be butcher.

711
00:34:47,985 --> 00:34:50,388
Craze dogs in the ring. Ho, ho, ho, ho.

712
00:34:50,455 --> 00:34:52,824
You got it here in the locker room,
everybody. They're excited.

713
00:34:52,890 --> 00:34:54,425
Let's go into the ring.

714
00:34:54,492 --> 00:34:57,528
-[upbeat music playing]
-[audience cheering]

715
00:34:57,595 --> 00:34:58,663
[Jim] And this will be our final…

716
00:34:58,729 --> 00:35:00,131
-[bell ringing]
-…first round event.

717
00:35:00,198 --> 00:35:03,201
[Howard] This first round,
King of the Ringtournament match

718
00:35:03,267 --> 00:35:07,972
is scheduled for one fall
with a fifteen-minute time limit.

719
00:35:08,039 --> 00:35:13,811
Approaching the ring, weighing 275 pounds,

720
00:35:13,878 --> 00:35:19,550
"The Narcissist" Lex Luger.

721
00:35:19,617 --> 00:35:24,222
[Jim] The winner of this matchup
will meet Bam Bam Bigelow

722
00:35:24,288 --> 00:35:25,556
in the semifinals.

723
00:35:25,623 --> 00:35:29,594
Remember, all semi…
First round matches, one fall 15,

724
00:35:29,660 --> 00:35:32,563
and only the winners advance here,
"Macho Man", as it should be.

725
00:35:32,630 --> 00:35:34,132
[Randy] I'm looking forward
to this match here.

726
00:35:34,198 --> 00:35:37,001
We got the infamous Narcissist Lex Luger.

727
00:35:37,068 --> 00:35:41,272
The topic of much discussed in
the WWE going against the Native American

728
00:35:41,339 --> 00:35:47,879
who is undefeated as of yet
in the WWE. Big, big match.

729
00:35:47,945 --> 00:35:50,281
[Jim] Luger, the youngest man
to ever play professional football

730
00:35:50,348 --> 00:35:51,883
in the Canadian Football League

731
00:35:51,949 --> 00:35:56,387
made his WWE debut
at the Royal Rumble in January.

732
00:35:56,454 --> 00:36:00,758
And he has had
a tremendous streak of knockouts.

733
00:36:00,825 --> 00:36:02,226
[Bobby] You know, something else?

734
00:36:02,293 --> 00:36:07,798
Tatanka is undefeated,
so is the Narcissist Lex Luger.

735
00:36:07,865 --> 00:36:10,902
Something's gonna happen here.
I'm going with Luger.

736
00:36:10,968 --> 00:36:13,905
[Jim] This guy loves to look at himself
in the mirror, does he, "Macho Man"?

737
00:36:13,971 --> 00:36:15,540
He is really full of himself.

738
00:36:15,606 --> 00:36:17,008
[Randy] Yeah.
And I can't see the president,

739
00:36:17,074 --> 00:36:19,777
Jack Tunney made a good decision
because I don't believe he did

740
00:36:19,844 --> 00:36:22,380
when he said that
he could have his elbow explode--

741
00:36:22,446 --> 00:36:24,615
[Bobby] Let me show you something
here with the brain scan.

742
00:36:24,682 --> 00:36:26,050
See the arm there?

743
00:36:26,117 --> 00:36:28,653
Not that arm, the other arm.
This arm, right here.

744
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,855
[Randy] Why don't you scan
that brain scan?

745
00:36:30,922 --> 00:36:33,925
[Bobby] It's got a monkey wrench
in it probably.

746
00:36:33,991 --> 00:36:35,860
[tranquil music playing]

747
00:36:35,927 --> 00:36:39,063
[Jim] Hey, wait a minute.
The official there wants…

748
00:36:39,130 --> 00:36:40,164
[Bobby] Wants to put a pad on it--

749
00:36:40,231 --> 00:36:41,332
-[Jim] He wants to--
-[Bobby] …or cover it?

750
00:36:41,399 --> 00:36:43,601
[Jim] …some protective covering
on that forearm of Luger.

751
00:36:43,668 --> 00:36:46,604
Remember, he's got,
he's got, I think, six screws in there,

752
00:36:46,671 --> 00:36:50,141
three steel plates
surgically implanted into his forearm.

753
00:36:50,208 --> 00:36:51,943
[Randy]
Let me ask you a question right now.

754
00:36:52,009 --> 00:36:53,744
Is that what he's trying to do,

755
00:36:53,811 --> 00:36:55,580
thus forbidding the official announcement
about it

756
00:36:55,646 --> 00:36:57,448
because I haven't agreed
with President Jack Tunney?

757
00:36:57,515 --> 00:36:59,984
Let them go.
He's been knocking out everybody.

758
00:37:00,051 --> 00:37:00,952
[Jim] I haven't seen a memo

759
00:37:01,018 --> 00:37:03,020
from President Jack Tunney's office,
Randy,

760
00:37:03,087 --> 00:37:06,457
but I think that perhaps,
this could be a referee's decision

761
00:37:06,524 --> 00:37:08,125
and if so, I agree with it.

762
00:37:08,192 --> 00:37:10,995
[Randy] If it is.
I one-million percent agree with it.

763
00:37:11,062 --> 00:37:14,899
This is ridiculous because he's just been
knocking out everybody.

764
00:37:14,966 --> 00:37:17,602
Put an elbow pad on him
and see how many wins he get to the row,

765
00:37:17,668 --> 00:37:21,005
maybe he can still beat everybody
but let's see it happen.

766
00:37:21,072 --> 00:37:23,241
[Howard] Ladies and gentlemen,
your attention please.

767
00:37:23,307 --> 00:37:25,509
I have been informed by the officials

768
00:37:25,576 --> 00:37:28,746
-that if Mr. Luger does not put on…
-[Jim] Oh, yeah.

769
00:37:28,813 --> 00:37:32,316
[Howard] …the elbow pad at this time

770
00:37:32,383 --> 00:37:35,886
he will be eliminated
from further competition

771
00:37:35,953 --> 00:37:37,755
-in the tournament.
-[audience cheering]

772
00:37:37,822 --> 00:37:40,524
[Jim] Oh, Luger is leaving. He is leaving.

773
00:37:40,591 --> 00:37:43,094
[Bobby] Why should he have to put that
pad on? I know what he's thinking.

774
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,030
He doesn't wanna cover up
that beautiful dynamic arm

775
00:37:46,097 --> 00:37:47,732
-that he possesses.
-[Randy] No. That's not it.

776
00:37:47,798 --> 00:37:51,235
He's got an unfair advantage over
the rest of the Superstars of the WWE.

777
00:37:51,302 --> 00:37:55,139
And this is the King of the Ring,
the most prestigious ever

778
00:37:55,206 --> 00:37:57,742
and guaranteed if you put that pad on,

779
00:37:57,808 --> 00:38:01,345
I wanna see just how good
or great the Narcissist is.

780
00:38:01,412 --> 00:38:04,882
[Jim] I applaud the official
for his judgment call here.

781
00:38:04,949 --> 00:38:07,818
[Bobby] Okay.
Then when Tatanka comes to the ring,

782
00:38:07,885 --> 00:38:10,221
let's tie his shoes together
so he can't dance.

783
00:38:10,288 --> 00:38:12,156
Let's handcuff him
so he can't throw a chop.

784
00:38:12,223 --> 00:38:13,357
Let's make it fair, huh? How about that?

785
00:38:13,424 --> 00:38:16,260
[Randy] It's not the same,
and I'm not even gonna explain myself.

786
00:38:16,327 --> 00:38:19,030
-If you don't know, that's your problem.
-[Bobby] I want you to leave right now.

787
00:38:19,096 --> 00:38:21,832
[Randy] Oh, yeah,
I'm staying forever and ever right here.

788
00:38:21,899 --> 00:38:23,834
Listen to this ovation
for the Native American, Tatanka.

789
00:38:23,901 --> 00:38:28,239
[Jim] Oh, yes. Quite long enough.
This time he is ready. He is ready.

790
00:38:28,306 --> 00:38:31,776
He is more than ready. Tata… Tatanka.

791
00:38:31,842 --> 00:38:36,414
Oh, Luger attacking Tatanka
as he came on the ring.

792
00:38:37,214 --> 00:38:39,550
Luger throws Tatanka over the top.

793
00:38:39,617 --> 00:38:43,220
Luger is posing, excuse me,
was interrupted.

794
00:38:43,287 --> 00:38:47,758
[Randy] I can't believe he's gonna stop
and pose at a King of the Ring tournament.

795
00:38:47,825 --> 00:38:49,827
[Jim] And Tatanka,
oh, Tatanka is turning…

796
00:38:49,894 --> 00:38:53,097
he's turned the mirror
right on the Narcissist.

797
00:38:53,164 --> 00:38:56,834
-Tatanka's ready to fight.
-[Randy] This is a rectangular ring.

798
00:38:56,901 --> 00:38:59,704
Like Savage says,
he's got 15 minutes in bar,

799
00:38:59,770 --> 00:39:02,740
he better take advantage of it,
or it's over.

800
00:39:02,807 --> 00:39:06,677
[Jim] Caught him in the top.
Oh, no, sent Luger over, and he does.

801
00:39:06,744 --> 00:39:10,981
A nice head chop takes Luger
right over the top.

802
00:39:11,048 --> 00:39:13,217
Tatanka's destroyed Luger's mirror.

803
00:39:13,284 --> 00:39:15,152
[Randy] You can't beat him on the floor,
dummy.

804
00:39:15,219 --> 00:39:17,221
Get him in the ring if you wanna win.

805
00:39:17,288 --> 00:39:19,757
-[Jim] But you can hurt him on the floor.
-[Bobby] That's right.

806
00:39:19,824 --> 00:39:22,660
[Randy] What a wild start
for this King of the Ring

807
00:39:22,727 --> 00:39:24,695
prestigious event right here.

808
00:39:24,762 --> 00:39:27,398
Tatanka taking it
to the Narcissist Lex Luger.

809
00:39:28,232 --> 00:39:31,001
[Jim] Winner of this contest
will meet big Bam Bam Bigelow.

810
00:39:31,068 --> 00:39:32,603
[Bobby] Who?

811
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,539
[Jim] A winner of this contest
will meet Bam Bam Bigelow, Brain.

812
00:39:35,606 --> 00:39:39,543
[Bobby] Well, Bam Bam
cut Tatanka's hair recently.

813
00:39:39,610 --> 00:39:40,811
I wanna see this one.

814
00:39:40,878 --> 00:39:42,079
-[Randy] What if he won't win?
-[Bobby] What an interesting matchup

815
00:39:42,146 --> 00:39:43,280
that would be.

816
00:39:43,347 --> 00:39:45,049
-[Bobby] Wouldn't it?
-[Jim] Irish Whip.

817
00:39:45,116 --> 00:39:47,518
It's reversed.
Luger goes for the ride and high.

818
00:39:47,585 --> 00:39:49,487
High elevation and a back body drop.

819
00:39:49,553 --> 00:39:52,656
Tatanka really on fire here.
Explosive offensively.

820
00:39:52,723 --> 00:39:56,193
Here comes Luger with a clothesline.

821
00:39:57,194 --> 00:39:59,930
-Tatanka now going with the lateral press.
-[Bobby] Oh!

822
00:39:59,997 --> 00:40:01,098
-[Jim] Didn't get it.
-[Randy] Oh, my goodness.

823
00:40:01,165 --> 00:40:03,300
-[Jim] My gosh.
-[Bobby] That was close.

824
00:40:03,367 --> 00:40:05,035
[Randy]
Let me tell you something right now.

825
00:40:05,102 --> 00:40:08,873
The Native American, Tatanka had shown me
some real brains here, Brain.

826
00:40:08,939 --> 00:40:11,475
Because he's going at
the Narcissist real quick

827
00:40:11,542 --> 00:40:13,411
because he knows
it's a 15-minute time limit.

828
00:40:13,477 --> 00:40:15,546
And he wants
to keep that undefeated streak alive.

829
00:40:15,613 --> 00:40:17,815
[Bobby] Yeah. But he don't understand
what 15 minutes is.

830
00:40:17,882 --> 00:40:19,750
To him that's a third of a moon.

831
00:40:19,817 --> 00:40:20,751
Oh!

832
00:40:20,818 --> 00:40:24,622
[Bobby] Many moon come before I win match.
[inaudible] UFC.

833
00:40:24,688 --> 00:40:27,758
[Jim] Why did they call you, Brain?
I've never figured that out either.

834
00:40:27,825 --> 00:40:30,261
-[Bobby] Why did they call you Jim Ross?
-[Jim] Because that's my name.

835
00:40:30,327 --> 00:40:31,362
[Bobby] Should I give you a number?

836
00:40:31,429 --> 00:40:33,197
[Jim] Part of your… Never mind.
I don't wanna get into that.

837
00:40:33,264 --> 00:40:34,365
[Bobby]
I don't wanna get into that either.

838
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:39,737
[Jim] Arm bar, and, Randy Savage, I think
this is good strategy for Tatanka now

839
00:40:39,804 --> 00:40:42,373
to getting the strength
a little bit of Luger there,

840
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,776
keeping him on the canvas.
That's where he needs to be.

841
00:40:46,277 --> 00:40:47,745
[Randy] Well, you can say that

842
00:40:47,812 --> 00:40:52,016
or you can say that Tatanka
should go for something like a small pad.

843
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:53,918
-[Bobby] Exactly.
-[Randy] Somebody get his shoulders down.

844
00:40:53,984 --> 00:40:56,520
[Bobby] Savage, I hate to say it,
you're a 100% right.

845
00:40:56,587 --> 00:40:59,790
You're not gonna beat a man
especially Lex Luger, the Narcissist,

846
00:40:59,857 --> 00:41:01,692
with an arm bar. You got to pin him.

847
00:41:01,759 --> 00:41:03,627
You got a small pad,
you're gonna cradle him.

848
00:41:03,694 --> 00:41:04,862
You got to beat him.

849
00:41:04,929 --> 00:41:08,032
[Randy] Exactly.
I don't see anybody getting lump.

850
00:41:08,098 --> 00:41:09,733
[Jim] Tatanka dropping the leg

851
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,971
right across the bicep,
uh, of the awesome Narcissist Lex Luger.

852
00:41:14,038 --> 00:41:17,708
Tatanka's focus is the arm,
upper arm and shoulder of Luger.

853
00:41:17,775 --> 00:41:19,977
[Bobby] This the WWE. Nobody quits.

854
00:41:20,044 --> 00:41:23,247
Nobody gives up here.
You pin him or you knock him out.

855
00:41:23,314 --> 00:41:26,083
[Randy] I tell you something,
I'm sitting here watching this match,

856
00:41:26,150 --> 00:41:28,886
the Narcissist versus Tatanka
and my blood is boiling.

857
00:41:28,953 --> 00:41:31,288
I wish I was in the squared circle
right now.

858
00:41:31,355 --> 00:41:35,159
Can you imagine being honored
the first King of the Ringwinner?

859
00:41:35,226 --> 00:41:37,561
-Unbelievable.
-[Jim] Oh, knife edge chops.

860
00:41:37,628 --> 00:41:40,498
What a…
Second only, I would think that the…

861
00:41:40,564 --> 00:41:41,565
One thing is for sure the--

862
00:41:41,632 --> 00:41:43,500
[Randy]
What do you mean second only to what?

863
00:41:43,567 --> 00:41:45,102
[Jim] The winner is gonna…

864
00:41:45,169 --> 00:41:47,605
Got to be the number one contender
for the WWE title.

865
00:41:47,671 --> 00:41:51,408
[Randy] Hey, I say the WWE title
and the King of the Ringwinner

866
00:41:51,475 --> 00:41:54,078
is equally prestigious.

867
00:41:54,144 --> 00:41:57,548
[Jim] Ladies and gentlemen,
I know standing by Bam Bam Bigelow.

868
00:41:57,615 --> 00:41:59,583
And Mr. Bigelow, I know you can hear me.

869
00:41:59,650 --> 00:42:04,455
Do you have a preference, sir,
as to who you wrestle in the semifinals?

870
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:09,326
Well, we all know who I want.
I wanna get my hands on the Indian.

871
00:42:09,393 --> 00:42:13,631
And then I wanna go on, Jim Ross,
and become King of the Ring.

872
00:42:13,697 --> 00:42:17,401
[Jim] Don't you think that Tatanka
has his sights set on you as well, sir?

873
00:42:17,468 --> 00:42:19,503
[chuckles] Well, I sure hope so.

874
00:42:19,570 --> 00:42:23,240
Tatanka might have to apprehend
in this match, he might not.

875
00:42:23,307 --> 00:42:26,744
But he better be ready
because if he advances,

876
00:42:26,810 --> 00:42:28,846
he will advance no further after me.

877
00:42:28,913 --> 00:42:31,448
[Jim] Crossbody by Tatanka,
and a near fall there.

878
00:42:31,515 --> 00:42:33,484
Thank you, Bam Bam Bigelow.

879
00:42:34,218 --> 00:42:39,523
Tatanka again focusing on
the arm of the Narcissist Lex Luger.

880
00:42:39,590 --> 00:42:41,992
The pressure takes Luger
down one knee again.

881
00:42:42,059 --> 00:42:43,327
Moves in to the arm bar.

882
00:42:43,394 --> 00:42:46,564
[Bobby] I'd love to see Bam Bam
get in the ring with Tatanka.

883
00:42:46,630 --> 00:42:48,699
You know,
Bam Bam's great, great grandfather?

884
00:42:48,766 --> 00:42:50,501
-Do you know who that was?
-[Jim] No, Brain.

885
00:42:50,567 --> 00:42:52,569
[Bobby] Buffalo Bill Bigelow.

886
00:42:53,304 --> 00:42:55,239
He's used to scalp them all.

887
00:42:55,306 --> 00:42:59,610
-[Randy] Useless information from Heenan.
-[Jim] Your nose is growing, Bobby.

888
00:43:00,778 --> 00:43:05,082
-[Bobby] I beg your pardon?
-[Jim] And a lock applied by Tatanka.

889
00:43:05,149 --> 00:43:09,753
And Luger has really had to wrestle.
A counter wrestling match thus far,

890
00:43:09,820 --> 00:43:13,824
as he's been virtually on Tatanka
officially in this one.

891
00:43:13,891 --> 00:43:16,026
[Bobby] I don't agree with that at all.

892
00:43:16,093 --> 00:43:18,329
He's had his hold of his arm
for a couple of minutes,

893
00:43:18,395 --> 00:43:20,297
but I think Luger is taking it to him.

894
00:43:20,364 --> 00:43:21,632
[Randy] He could critical right now

895
00:43:21,699 --> 00:43:23,767
but what Tatanka had him
just a second ago,

896
00:43:23,834 --> 00:43:26,270
I would have rolled them up in the ropes,
and go out for a pin.

897
00:43:26,337 --> 00:43:29,239
See, that is in trouble right now.
Holding an armpit.

898
00:43:29,306 --> 00:43:31,976
This is not amateur wrestling
we're getting right in time.

899
00:43:32,042 --> 00:43:35,379
You got to go for the win, to advance,
to be King of the Ring.

900
00:43:35,446 --> 00:43:38,048
[Bobby] You're right about this, Savage.
You got to for it. You got to.

901
00:43:38,115 --> 00:43:40,417
[Jim] Especially sensors,
like 15-minute time limit

902
00:43:40,484 --> 00:43:42,786
-in this first-round matches.
-[Bobby] Let's see it.

903
00:43:42,853 --> 00:43:46,790
And Luger buries those kicks
deep into the midsection

904
00:43:46,857 --> 00:43:49,126
of the Native American, Tatanka.

905
00:43:49,627 --> 00:43:52,463
He is a full blood Lumbee Indian.

906
00:43:52,529 --> 00:43:53,897
-[Bobby] A dummy Indian.
-[Jim] Lumbee Indian.

907
00:43:53,964 --> 00:43:55,032
[Bobby] Lumbee.

908
00:43:55,099 --> 00:43:58,135
[Jim] They're raise outta the Lumbee River
in North Carolina, Brain.

909
00:43:58,202 --> 00:44:01,271
And, Luger, again with that knee,
found it smart.

910
00:44:01,338 --> 00:44:03,007
[Bobby] [laughs] They live in boats.

911
00:44:03,073 --> 00:44:06,543
[Randy] Congratulations to the referee
for making Lex Luger "The Narcissist"

912
00:44:06,610 --> 00:44:08,645
wear an elbow pad right there.
That would have done to take it.

913
00:44:08,712 --> 00:44:11,148
[Jim] He's going for the cover,
hook the leg. I thought he had him.

914
00:44:11,215 --> 00:44:14,752
[Randy] Narcissist is wrestling
a smarter match with Tatanka.

915
00:44:14,818 --> 00:44:16,153
Going for the cover.

916
00:44:16,220 --> 00:44:19,223
[Jim] Luger graduated from college
with about a 3.8 grade average.

917
00:44:19,289 --> 00:44:21,058
This is the guy
that turned down an appointment

918
00:44:21,125 --> 00:44:22,826
to the Naval Academy.

919
00:44:22,893 --> 00:44:25,696
He was a brilliant student,
a brilliant tactician.

920
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,598
[Randy] I really believe that
even with that elbow pad,

921
00:44:27,665 --> 00:44:30,334
the Narcissist got the advantage
with all that steel in his arm.

922
00:44:30,401 --> 00:44:33,704
That's still gonna hurt
worse than a normal person.

923
00:44:33,771 --> 00:44:36,607
[Jim] You're exactly right
especially with his power as well.

924
00:44:36,674 --> 00:44:39,209
Backbreaker, really, bury that knee

925
00:44:39,276 --> 00:44:41,412
right into the kidneys
and lower back area there.

926
00:44:41,478 --> 00:44:43,514
[Randy] Narcissist
is looking business today.

927
00:44:43,580 --> 00:44:45,816
Guaranteed that he would love
to be King of the Ring,

928
00:44:45,883 --> 00:44:48,685
so he could, yeah,
even look into the mirror

929
00:44:48,752 --> 00:44:51,188
and be more proud of himself
than he already is.

930
00:44:51,255 --> 00:44:52,823
But that's possible.

931
00:44:54,024 --> 00:44:55,726
[Jim] Luger measure Tatanka

932
00:44:55,793 --> 00:44:58,062
and that powerful elbow
right on the sternum

933
00:44:58,128 --> 00:45:01,165
has Tatanka an even more trouble.

934
00:45:01,231 --> 00:45:06,503
And Luger going for the cover,
and again, he hooked the leg,

935
00:45:06,570 --> 00:45:08,305
Randy, but he couldn't get to three.

936
00:45:08,372 --> 00:45:10,674
[Randy] But notice he's going
for the pin each time.

937
00:45:10,741 --> 00:45:12,209
[audience cheering]

938
00:45:12,276 --> 00:45:14,978
[Jim] Very smart strategist.
Oh, what an elevation.

939
00:45:15,045 --> 00:45:17,981
-That's elevation.
-[Randy] That's gonna hurt right there.

940
00:45:18,048 --> 00:45:19,616
[Jim] He buried the elbow.

941
00:45:19,683 --> 00:45:21,685
[Bobby] Hey, how are you?
Hey, how are you?

942
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:23,053
[Jim laughs]

943
00:45:25,055 --> 00:45:27,891
[Jim] And again,
Luger lateral press leg hook

944
00:45:27,958 --> 00:45:30,294
and another near fall situation

945
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,464
and Luger certainly doesn't need to get
into a verbal onslaught with the referee.

946
00:45:33,530 --> 00:45:35,599
-[Randy] Oh, no.
-[Jim] Hey, right there, he's got him.

947
00:45:35,666 --> 00:45:37,267
-He's got it… No.
-[Randy] You're right.

948
00:45:37,334 --> 00:45:39,203
Now Tatanka is getting smart right there.

949
00:45:39,269 --> 00:45:42,272
You got to go for the cover every time,
every chance you get.

950
00:45:42,339 --> 00:45:44,942
-Time is precious.
-[Bobby] Fifteen minutes is all you have.

951
00:45:45,008 --> 00:45:47,177
-[Randy] In the first round.
-[Bobby] Yeah, that's right.

952
00:45:47,244 --> 00:45:50,414
I was gonna say that before
rudely interrupted me, Mr. Savage.

953
00:45:50,481 --> 00:45:52,382
[Randy] Well, I never know
because you didn't say it.

954
00:45:52,449 --> 00:45:54,218
-Ow!
-[Bobby] Huh?

955
00:45:54,284 --> 00:45:55,385
[Jim] Tatanka…

956
00:45:56,386 --> 00:45:59,056
right hands do knife edge chop.

957
00:45:59,123 --> 00:46:01,892
And he's got big targets there,
that massive chest on the Narcissist

958
00:46:01,959 --> 00:46:05,462
and Luger had sort
a couple of those knife edge chops,

959
00:46:05,529 --> 00:46:06,597
and then fought right back.

960
00:46:06,663 --> 00:46:09,433
Tatanka has been unable
to sustain any offense

961
00:46:09,500 --> 00:46:11,135
or any continually at the time.

962
00:46:11,201 --> 00:46:13,837
[Randy] Each and every match thus far
has been a hard-fought match.

963
00:46:13,904 --> 00:46:16,406
This one here is no exception.

964
00:46:18,275 --> 00:46:19,543
[Jim] Luger snapmares him over.

965
00:46:19,610 --> 00:46:25,382
And that reverse chin lock, Luger using
his magnificent upper body strength

966
00:46:25,449 --> 00:46:27,951
to apply the pressure
on the Native American.

967
00:46:28,018 --> 00:46:32,356
Remember, Tatanka is undefeated thus far
in the World Wrestling Entertainment.

968
00:46:32,422 --> 00:46:33,423
[Bobby] Hey, pick a… [inaudible].

969
00:46:33,490 --> 00:46:36,794
Well, is Lex Luger "The Narcissist"
is undefeated.

970
00:46:36,860 --> 00:46:38,495
-You bet it right.
-[Randy] You're right about that.

971
00:46:38,562 --> 00:46:40,831
The Narcissist with Tatanka.

972
00:46:40,898 --> 00:46:44,902
Undefeated streaks on the line
but more importantly the King of the Ring.

973
00:46:45,869 --> 00:46:47,971
[Jim] Tatanka worked his way
back up to the vertical base,

974
00:46:48,038 --> 00:46:50,741
but Luger gained the unfair advantage
by pulling the hair.

975
00:46:50,808 --> 00:46:52,509
[Bobby] Come on, Lex, get him.

976
00:46:53,377 --> 00:46:54,711
[Jim] Luger now…

977
00:46:54,778 --> 00:46:56,113
-[Bobby] Get up!
-[Jim] …working with the upper body.

978
00:46:56,180 --> 00:46:57,281
[inaudible].

979
00:46:57,347 --> 00:46:59,116
[Bobby] Yes. Yes.

980
00:46:59,183 --> 00:47:01,385
-[inaudible].
-[audience chattering]

981
00:47:01,451 --> 00:47:02,753
-[Randy] Listen to the people right now…
-[Bobby] Yes!

982
00:47:02,819 --> 00:47:04,955
[Randy] …trying to get the momentum
for Tatanka.

983
00:47:05,022 --> 00:47:09,259
-[Randy] Snap that stem.
-[Bobby] That's his neck by the way, Ross.

984
00:47:10,127 --> 00:47:13,463
[Jim] The Narcissist is the man
that Bobby "The Brain" Heenan

985
00:47:13,530 --> 00:47:14,998
takes to win this tournament.

986
00:47:15,065 --> 00:47:21,038
And remember, whoever wins this tournament
must win three matches to stay injury free

987
00:47:21,104 --> 00:47:24,741
and endurance is going to play
a major factor in the outcome

988
00:47:24,808 --> 00:47:26,877
as to who becomes the King of the Ring.

989
00:47:26,944 --> 00:47:27,911
-[Randy] Okay.
-[Bobby] It's gonna be…

990
00:47:27,978 --> 00:47:29,746
-Go ahead, Savage, excuse me.
-[Randy] Okay. I will.

991
00:47:29,813 --> 00:47:31,915
Okay. Look at Tatanka
moving that right leg.

992
00:47:31,982 --> 00:47:35,953
Him more than anybody else in the WWE
likes the fans to get behind him

993
00:47:36,019 --> 00:47:37,855
because he gets that extra momentum.

994
00:47:37,921 --> 00:47:41,158
He's a very proud Native American.
And I'm proud of him too.

995
00:47:41,225 --> 00:47:44,127
[Bobby] You have to rely on the humanoids
to win a match for you.

996
00:47:44,194 --> 00:47:46,830
You're in pretty bad shape
physically and mentally.

997
00:47:46,897 --> 00:47:50,200
-And Tatanka is in great shape.
-[Jim] Oh, Tatanka find his way back up.

998
00:47:50,267 --> 00:47:53,537
But Luger quickly puts him back down
with another powerful clothesline.

999
00:47:53,604 --> 00:47:56,907
Every single time that Tatanka tries
to feel some momentum--

1000
00:47:56,974 --> 00:47:58,308
Oh, look at that.

1001
00:47:58,375 --> 00:48:02,012
[Randy] Narcissist is proving right now
that even with that elbow pad on,

1002
00:48:02,079 --> 00:48:05,983
he is a great Superstar in the WWE,
but that doesn't surprise me.

1003
00:48:06,049 --> 00:48:09,186
[Jim] He measured him,
and again that elbow found its mark

1004
00:48:09,253 --> 00:48:11,088
in the sternum of Tatanka.

1005
00:48:11,154 --> 00:48:13,991
-This could be all.
-[Bobby] We have a winner, I believe.

1006
00:48:14,057 --> 00:48:15,325
[Jim] Lateral press.

1007
00:48:15,392 --> 00:48:18,996
And Tatanka shows
that tremendous competitive spirit.

1008
00:48:19,062 --> 00:48:22,966
[Randy] This might be Tatanka's
toughest test to think.

1009
00:48:23,033 --> 00:48:27,771
[Jim] And he is certainly in jeopardy
of his undefeated streak ending here.

1010
00:48:27,838 --> 00:48:30,274
It does not look good
for the Native American.

1011
00:48:30,340 --> 00:48:32,276
-[Bobby] Oh, no.
-[Jim] Oh, there, it's an inside cradle.

1012
00:48:32,342 --> 00:48:33,710
Inside, and he got two and a half.

1013
00:48:33,777 --> 00:48:35,712
[Randy] Proving he still
has something left.

1014
00:48:35,779 --> 00:48:38,415
[Jim] But look how quick Luger
returns to his feet

1015
00:48:38,482 --> 00:48:40,050
and gets right back on the attack.

1016
00:48:40,117 --> 00:48:43,387
[Randy] Guaranteed, Narcissist Lex Luger
is impressing me, Bobby Heenan,

1017
00:48:43,453 --> 00:48:44,922
he really is great.

1018
00:48:44,988 --> 00:48:47,791
[Bobby] Well, he's ahead on poise now
as far as I'm concerned.

1019
00:48:47,858 --> 00:48:49,893
It's a hundred thirty eight thousand
to four.

1020
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,829
[Randy] You know what?
Points don't matter in the WWE.

1021
00:48:52,896 --> 00:48:56,099
It's the bottom line survival. Oh-oh.

1022
00:48:56,967 --> 00:49:01,505
[Jim] Tatanka up and over. Sunset flip.
Yes, he got him. One, two…

1023
00:49:01,571 --> 00:49:03,640
-[Bobby] No, no, he didn't get him.
-[Randy] Unbelievable.

1024
00:49:03,707 --> 00:49:07,344
Even with kicking out the Narcissist
don't got pinned right there.

1025
00:49:08,445 --> 00:49:11,782
[Jim] Sledgehammer blow
by the Narcissist Lex Luger,

1026
00:49:11,848 --> 00:49:15,585
another whirling encounter
here in the first round

1027
00:49:15,652 --> 00:49:18,588
of the King of the Ringtournament.

1028
00:49:20,223 --> 00:49:25,095
Luger has used a variety of high impact.
Power-oriented maneuvers…

1029
00:49:25,162 --> 00:49:29,166
Oh, he kicked Tatanka right in the ribs
and you could almost see

1030
00:49:29,232 --> 00:49:32,035
and hear the air come right outta Tatanka.

1031
00:49:33,704 --> 00:49:36,907
[Randy] Football that would have been
a 50-yard field goal.

1032
00:49:36,973 --> 00:49:39,343
[Bobby] And on the reservation
he'd be three counties away.

1033
00:49:39,409 --> 00:49:40,844
[Jim] Gentlemen, I've been informed that

1034
00:49:40,911 --> 00:49:43,647
11 minutes have expired in this matchup,

1035
00:49:43,714 --> 00:49:45,082
four minutes ring.

1036
00:49:45,148 --> 00:49:46,283
[Randy] That's what I'm talking about.

1037
00:49:46,350 --> 00:49:48,819
This first round
has got a 15-minute time limit.

1038
00:49:48,885 --> 00:49:50,187
See, if I was in the ring,

1039
00:49:50,253 --> 00:49:52,456
I would have been nervous
and excited from the get go

1040
00:49:52,522 --> 00:49:54,291
but I'm not saying these guys
haven't been.

1041
00:49:54,358 --> 00:49:57,694
Four minutes left.
One of these guys gotta make a move.

1042
00:49:57,761 --> 00:49:59,229
[Bobby] I know what you'd have done,
Savage.

1043
00:49:59,296 --> 00:50:01,965
If you have been in the ring,
you had junked that guy in the beginning,

1044
00:50:02,032 --> 00:50:03,100
throw him on the floor,

1045
00:50:03,166 --> 00:50:05,202
crack his head open
and beat him in 30 seconds.

1046
00:50:05,268 --> 00:50:06,136
That's how you operate.

1047
00:50:06,203 --> 00:50:08,572
[Randy] I would have beat him
or [inaudible] beat.

1048
00:50:09,606 --> 00:50:12,309
[Jim] Luger taking Tatanka face first
right on the top turnbuckle.

1049
00:50:12,376 --> 00:50:13,310
[Randy] All right.

1050
00:50:13,377 --> 00:50:15,612
[Jim] This Native American
has got to reach down.

1051
00:50:15,679 --> 00:50:17,914
He's got to reach down
and there's the momentum here.

1052
00:50:17,981 --> 00:50:20,217
Luger knocks him down,
but Tatanka's back up.

1053
00:50:20,283 --> 00:50:24,554
Luger trying to put the Native American
back down, but he will not stay down.

1054
00:50:24,621 --> 00:50:27,791
-[Bobby] Hook the leg is in a circle.
-[Jim] Luger missed the clothesline.

1055
00:50:27,858 --> 00:50:31,728
But Tatanka chops Luger down the side.
Oh, no, no, not fast.

1056
00:50:31,795 --> 00:50:34,831
-Down goes the Narcissist.
-[audience cheering]

1057
00:50:34,898 --> 00:50:37,701
[Jim] Three minutes remaining
in this matchup.

1058
00:50:37,768 --> 00:50:39,169
Oh, no offense, he may have it.

1059
00:50:39,236 --> 00:50:40,804
-It could be over.
-[Randy] No.

1060
00:50:40,871 --> 00:50:41,838
-[Jim] Oh, did he get it?
-[Randy] No.

1061
00:50:41,905 --> 00:50:43,040
-He didn't get it.
-[Bobby] He didn't get it.

1062
00:50:43,106 --> 00:50:44,674
-[Randy] I can't believe it.
-[Jim] Wow.

1063
00:50:44,741 --> 00:50:45,709
-Oh, wow.
-[Randy] I can't believe it.

1064
00:50:45,776 --> 00:50:48,678
I got a sixth sense that says
the referee was right, right there

1065
00:50:48,745 --> 00:50:50,847
but I was hoping that he had him.

1066
00:50:50,914 --> 00:50:52,649
-[Jim] Powerslam.
-[Randy] Oh, no!

1067
00:50:52,716 --> 00:50:54,684
-[Jim] He's going for the win here.
-[Randy] No.

1068
00:50:54,751 --> 00:50:57,320
-[Jim] Another near fall.
-[Randy] Unbelievable.

1069
00:50:57,387 --> 00:51:00,724
[Jim] Another near fall.
Tatanka turning it up a notch.

1070
00:51:00,791 --> 00:51:05,495
[Randy] Shows you how bad they want it.
Put that offensive blast onslaught going.

1071
00:51:05,562 --> 00:51:07,831
I think Tatanka's gotten
that Narcissist Lex Luger.

1072
00:51:07,898 --> 00:51:10,233
This could be a big feather
on the camp of Tatanka.

1073
00:51:10,300 --> 00:51:13,336
[Jim] Tatanka climbs the ladder.
High-risk maneuver here.

1074
00:51:13,403 --> 00:51:15,872
-And then he caught him. He caught him.
-[Bobby] Oh, no.

1075
00:51:15,939 --> 00:51:17,174
-[Bobby] Oh, no.
-[Jim] He got it. He got it.

1076
00:51:17,240 --> 00:51:19,276
-[Randy] No!
-[audience cheering]

1077
00:51:19,342 --> 00:51:20,510
[Randy] I didn't get a good view with that

1078
00:51:20,577 --> 00:51:23,847
but I believe he had him on
at least one of those last recovered.

1079
00:51:23,914 --> 00:51:27,350
[Bobby] He's going up again.
It was close, I give you that.

1080
00:51:27,417 --> 00:51:30,287
[Jim] Tatanka take another chance
up on top. Oh!

1081
00:51:30,353 --> 00:51:33,757
High-risk move that did not pay off

1082
00:51:33,824 --> 00:51:35,792
with two minutes remaining
in this matchup.

1083
00:51:35,859 --> 00:51:37,727
[Randy] Getting down
with the nitty-gritty now.

1084
00:51:37,794 --> 00:51:41,031
Now we're gonna find out
who wants it the most.

1085
00:51:41,098 --> 00:51:42,866
And you got to want it.

1086
00:51:42,933 --> 00:51:46,903
[Jim] It's a good check
for both of these magnificent athletes.

1087
00:51:46,970 --> 00:51:49,606
[Bobby] Well, it looks to me
like air tunnel crashed.

1088
00:51:51,341 --> 00:51:53,176
[Randy] Tatanka
and the Narcissist Lex Luger

1089
00:51:53,243 --> 00:51:56,780
are both living on the edge right now.
Who wants it the worst?

1090
00:51:56,847 --> 00:51:58,515
[Bobby] How much time is left?
Does anybody know that?

1091
00:51:58,582 --> 00:52:00,450
It's got to be
less than two minutes guaranteed now.

1092
00:52:00,517 --> 00:52:02,252
How much time is left?
This is very important.

1093
00:52:02,319 --> 00:52:03,820
[Jim] Oh. He caught it.

1094
00:52:03,887 --> 00:52:05,956
-Oh, what an impact.
-[Randy] [inaudible] elbow pad.

1095
00:52:06,022 --> 00:52:07,457
That was an awesome clothesline.

1096
00:52:07,524 --> 00:52:08,492
-[Bobby] Here we go.
-[Randy] This could be it.

1097
00:52:08,558 --> 00:52:09,392
[Jim] Get out there fast,

1098
00:52:09,459 --> 00:52:13,930
the leg is hooked as we are inside
90 seconds remaining in this match.

1099
00:52:13,997 --> 00:52:14,865
[Randy] Boy, this cover is so close.

1100
00:52:14,931 --> 00:52:16,766
-[Bobby] Come on, come on, Lex.
-[Randy] Unbelievable.

1101
00:52:16,833 --> 00:52:19,002
-[audience chattering]
-[Randy] Here we go.

1102
00:52:19,069 --> 00:52:22,439
[Jim] Luger is gonna try to put him away
here. Has he not?

1103
00:52:22,506 --> 00:52:25,108
Head planting with a powerslam,
reaches back far.

1104
00:52:25,175 --> 00:52:27,777
Look at it.
And again, a kick out by Tatanka.

1105
00:52:27,844 --> 00:52:29,713
What courage by this Native American.

1106
00:52:29,779 --> 00:52:33,149
[Randy] Give Tatanka credit for courage.
No doubt about it.

1107
00:52:33,216 --> 00:52:35,585
What the heck with credit,
go for the victory.

1108
00:52:35,652 --> 00:52:37,320
-[Jim] One minute remaining.
-[Randy] One minute left.

1109
00:52:37,387 --> 00:52:40,557
-[Jim] One minute remaining.
-[audience cheering]

1110
00:52:40,624 --> 00:52:43,693
[Jim] They got to take some chances here.
They got it over.

1111
00:52:44,461 --> 00:52:45,829
-[thuds]
-[audience cheering]

1112
00:52:45,896 --> 00:52:47,197
[Bobby] Come on, Lex, get up.

1113
00:52:47,264 --> 00:52:49,699
[Randy] I wonder if both Tatanka
and Narcissist Lex Luger know

1114
00:52:49,766 --> 00:52:51,201
-there's one minute left.
-[Bobby] Do they know?

1115
00:52:51,268 --> 00:52:52,869
-[Randy] Who told them? They don't?
-[Bobby] I don't think so.

1116
00:52:52,936 --> 00:52:53,803
I don't know how you could.

1117
00:52:53,870 --> 00:52:56,540
[Jim] Luger with the front face
Tatanka put him away here.

1118
00:52:56,606 --> 00:52:59,743
Luger bent over for the vertical suplex.

1119
00:52:59,809 --> 00:53:02,379
[Bobby] Savage, you've been in matches
like this before.

1120
00:53:02,445 --> 00:53:04,080
Do you ever know what time it is?
Do you have any idea if it's--

1121
00:53:04,147 --> 00:53:06,183
[Jim] Thirty seconds remaining.

1122
00:53:06,249 --> 00:53:07,984
Lateral press, leg hook,
and two and a half count.

1123
00:53:08,051 --> 00:53:09,286
[Bobby] Come on, referee.

1124
00:53:09,352 --> 00:53:11,154
[Randy] I've never been
in a situation like this

1125
00:53:11,221 --> 00:53:13,023
where it was a 15-minute time limit.

1126
00:53:13,089 --> 00:53:15,458
Where time was such a factor
so early in a bout.

1127
00:53:15,525 --> 00:53:17,260
[Bobby] That's right.
I agree with you on that.

1128
00:53:17,327 --> 00:53:20,263
Most matches are 30 minutes
or 60-minute time limits.

1129
00:53:20,330 --> 00:53:25,502
[Jim] Luger has him up. Backbreaker.
Could this be all? Can Tatanka hold on?

1130
00:53:25,569 --> 00:53:27,437
Can the Native American hold on here?

1131
00:53:27,504 --> 00:53:30,106
[Randy] What is Narcissist doing?
He took his time cover.

1132
00:53:30,173 --> 00:53:31,841
[Bobby] He took much time.

1133
00:53:32,576 --> 00:53:33,677
-[bell ringing]
-[Jim] And a near fall.

1134
00:53:33,743 --> 00:53:35,879
-[Randy] There it is.
-[Jim] That's the time limit.

1135
00:53:35,946 --> 00:53:39,382
-[Randy] That's his own fault right there.
-[audience cheering]

1136
00:53:39,449 --> 00:53:41,751
-[Randy] I can't believe it.
-[Jim] What a battle.

1137
00:53:41,818 --> 00:53:44,921
What a wrestling match. 15 minutes.

1138
00:53:44,988 --> 00:53:48,558
[Howard] Ladies and gentlemen,
the time limit has expired

1139
00:53:48,625 --> 00:53:52,128
and the referee declares this bout a draw.

1140
00:53:52,195 --> 00:53:53,730
[Bobby] Oh, no.

1141
00:53:53,797 --> 00:53:56,499
-Luger with a head-on point.
-[Howard] Therefore both men

1142
00:53:56,566 --> 00:53:59,636
have been eliminated from the tournament.

1143
00:53:59,703 --> 00:54:02,405
[Randy] There's what I was
talking about right there.

1144
00:54:02,472 --> 00:54:04,341
-Time was a big factor.
-[Howard] Furthermore,

1145
00:54:04,407 --> 00:54:06,876
as a result of this decision,

1146
00:54:06,943 --> 00:54:11,348
Bam Bam Bigelow will receive a bye

1147
00:54:11,414 --> 00:54:15,385
and advance to the finals
of the tournament.

1148
00:54:15,452 --> 00:54:17,053
[Randy] Look at Narcissist face
right there.

1149
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,823
-He realizes he made a mistake.
-[Jim] He lost the mic.

1150
00:54:19,889 --> 00:54:23,226
Hey, listen up.

1151
00:54:23,293 --> 00:54:27,530
These guys this far away
from getting eliminated,

1152
00:54:27,597 --> 00:54:29,532
I came here for one reason.

1153
00:54:29,599 --> 00:54:32,636
And one reason only
and that's to be the King of the Ring.

1154
00:54:32,702 --> 00:54:35,071
And I will fight for match.

1155
00:54:35,138 --> 00:54:36,139
-[Bobby] Not [inaudible] him.
-[Jim] A chance.

1156
00:54:36,206 --> 00:54:37,407
[Randy] Can't… No. You can't do it.

1157
00:54:37,474 --> 00:54:40,076
[Jim] And he wants five more
but that's not the rules.

1158
00:54:40,143 --> 00:54:42,245
-[audience cheering]
-[Bobby] You can't. It's a tournament.

1159
00:54:42,312 --> 00:54:43,480
There's too much involved here.

1160
00:54:43,546 --> 00:54:46,683
But I think that he should…
That he was ahead on points.

1161
00:54:46,750 --> 00:54:49,252
[Jim] Unless you have the fans
and have them say five more minutes

1162
00:54:49,319 --> 00:54:53,323
but that would not be fair for the other--
Hey, hey, oh, he took Tatanka on his own.

1163
00:54:53,390 --> 00:54:55,425
-He got Tatanka of his own.
-[Randy] Knocked him out…

1164
00:54:55,492 --> 00:54:57,927
-[Jim] He knocked him out.
-[Randy] …from behind blindsided.

1165
00:54:57,994 --> 00:55:02,165
Luger blindsided Tatanka.
And Tatanka is out cold.

1166
00:55:02,899 --> 00:55:05,869
[Bobby] Oh, from where I see it,
it looks to me like the winner,

1167
00:55:05,935 --> 00:55:09,673
ladies and gentlemen,
the Narcissist Lex Luger.

1168
00:55:09,739 --> 00:55:11,608
[Randy] No, he is not.

1169
00:55:11,675 --> 00:55:14,744
Fifteen-minute draw both guys eliminated

1170
00:55:14,811 --> 00:55:18,615
but I think that the Narcissist Lex Luger
for doing that after the match

1171
00:55:18,682 --> 00:55:22,018
is completely ridiculous.
Yeah. He's infamous, all right.

1172
00:55:22,085 --> 00:55:23,119
And that's all he is.

1173
00:55:23,186 --> 00:55:28,124
[Jim] Tatanka has been knocked unconscious
by the Narcissist Lex Luger

1174
00:55:28,191 --> 00:55:30,660
but the bottom line,
both have been eliminated

1175
00:55:30,727 --> 00:55:32,662
and the key thing to remember.

1176
00:55:32,729 --> 00:55:36,366
Bam Bam Bigelow now
will advance directly to the finals.

1177
00:55:36,433 --> 00:55:41,171
[Randy] I bet Bam Bam Bigelow is happy
as unbelievable

1178
00:55:41,237 --> 00:55:44,441
that he gets to [inaudible],
gets to go in the finals.

1179
00:55:44,507 --> 00:55:47,210
[Jim] Yeah. Tatanka here
as you see in the bracket.

1180
00:55:47,277 --> 00:55:51,614
With a draw, Bigelow advances
to the semi, to the finals.

1181
00:55:51,681 --> 00:55:55,352
Bigelow already in the finals
of this King of the Ringtournament.

1182
00:55:55,819 --> 00:55:59,656
-[Randy] Plus, he gets a rest.
-[Jim] All right, ladies and gentlemen,

1183
00:55:59,723 --> 00:56:04,794
well, the other final position
will be determined

1184
00:56:04,861 --> 00:56:08,164
between Bret "The Hitman" Hart
and Mr. Perfect.

1185
00:56:08,231 --> 00:56:12,769
I understand standing by live
with those two athletes, our colleague,

1186
00:56:12,836 --> 00:56:14,504
"Mean Gene" Okerlund.

1187
00:56:15,071 --> 00:56:18,508
With me at this time, Mr. Perfect
and Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

1188
00:56:18,575 --> 00:56:21,544
Both of these men have advanced
to the semifinal round, gentlemen.

1189
00:56:21,611 --> 00:56:24,848
Before we talk about that,
let me reiterate.

1190
00:56:24,914 --> 00:56:28,718
Neither Tatanka nor Lex Luger
are gonna be advancing

1191
00:56:28,785 --> 00:56:30,286
to the semifinal round.

1192
00:56:30,353 --> 00:56:33,223
Bam Bam Bigelow wants
to have met the winner of that match,

1193
00:56:33,289 --> 00:56:34,724
however, he gets a pass.

1194
00:56:34,791 --> 00:56:37,861
He gets a bye,
and he will go to the finals

1195
00:56:37,927 --> 00:56:40,330
to meet either you, Bret Hart,
or you, Mr. Perfect.

1196
00:56:40,397 --> 00:56:43,032
Before we talk about
that particular matchup,

1197
00:56:43,099 --> 00:56:47,604
Bret, did you not say earlier on that
you'd prefer to wrestle Mr. Perfect

1198
00:56:47,670 --> 00:56:49,406
over Mr. Hughes, and why?

1199
00:56:49,472 --> 00:56:52,208
I wanna wrestle Mr. Perfect because I have
respect for his wrestling ability--

1200
00:56:52,275 --> 00:56:55,645
You think he is an easier opponent
than Mr. Hughes would be?

1201
00:56:55,712 --> 00:56:57,647
-No, that's not what I said.
-You guys wanna--

1202
00:56:57,714 --> 00:56:58,815
I mean, is that what you said?

1203
00:56:58,882 --> 00:57:00,984
I think you probably
kinda intimated that, really.

1204
00:57:01,050 --> 00:57:02,185
You maybe took it the wrong way.

1205
00:57:02,252 --> 00:57:05,555
What I meant is that
I respect Mr. Perfect's wrestling ability

1206
00:57:05,622 --> 00:57:06,823
and I go in there
and have a wrestling match.

1207
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:09,893
You know, you said you'd prefer
the endurance as to the size

1208
00:57:09,959 --> 00:57:11,761
and strength of Mr. Hughes,
is that what you said?

1209
00:57:11,828 --> 00:57:13,663
No, I didn't… Why do you… If I said that…

1210
00:57:13,730 --> 00:57:16,933
You don't think you could have got
by Mr. Hughes what you're saying?

1211
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:20,336
No, I think very well
I could get past Mr. Hughes.

1212
00:57:20,403 --> 00:57:22,071
The fact that I then get past you.

1213
00:57:22,138 --> 00:57:24,574
-But the only is I--
-You don't think you don't get by me?

1214
00:57:24,641 --> 00:57:28,244
Let's talk thing--
Hold on, wait a second, guys, please.

1215
00:57:28,311 --> 00:57:29,479
Let's talk a couple of analogies.

1216
00:57:29,546 --> 00:57:31,781
Both of you
are second generation wrestlers.

1217
00:57:31,848 --> 00:57:32,782
Your father, a great one,

1218
00:57:32,849 --> 00:57:34,551
and, of course,
Larry "The Axe" is a great one

1219
00:57:34,617 --> 00:57:37,053
but did the two of them ever meet?
I'm very curious.

1220
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:40,356
-Yeah. They met. My dad beat his dad.
-Your dad never beat my dad.

1221
00:57:40,423 --> 00:57:45,628
Hey, I remember Summerslam,Hart.
I owe you and tonight I'm gonna pay back.

1222
00:57:45,695 --> 00:57:47,497
And don't ever say
you're dad could beat my dad

1223
00:57:47,564 --> 00:57:50,466
-because he couldn't on his best day.
-Hey, gentlemen, I wanna know one thing.

1224
00:57:50,533 --> 00:57:52,469
Does this King of the Ring--
Just a second, Bret.

1225
00:57:52,535 --> 00:57:55,205
Does this King of the Ring
mean that much to both of you?

1226
00:57:55,271 --> 00:57:56,439
Is it gonna be a scientific match?

1227
00:57:56,506 --> 00:57:58,041
Are you gonna throw the rule book
out the window?

1228
00:57:58,107 --> 00:58:00,176
Let me tell you something,
my style has never changed.

1229
00:58:00,243 --> 00:58:02,412
I'll do what I have to,
to win because why?

1230
00:58:02,479 --> 00:58:03,813
I am a winner.

1231
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:05,882
-Okay, Bret?
-No. You weren't in Summerslam.

1232
00:58:05,949 --> 00:58:07,617
Wait a minute, are you suggesting--

1233
00:58:07,684 --> 00:58:09,185
Look, all I'm saying
is the King of the Ring

1234
00:58:09,252 --> 00:58:11,087
is the most important thing
in the world to me right now.

1235
00:58:11,154 --> 00:58:13,490
And I am gonna win.

1236
00:58:13,556 --> 00:58:15,191
All right. Very good.
I think you, gentlemen--

1237
00:58:15,258 --> 00:58:18,862
Just let me put it this way.
May the best man win.

1238
00:58:18,928 --> 00:58:20,396
[upbeat music playing]

1239
00:58:20,463 --> 00:58:23,299
Got you. Just like I'm gonna
get you out in the ring.

1240
00:58:23,366 --> 00:58:24,934
-Just like I'm gonna get you…
-Thank you.

1241
00:58:25,001 --> 00:58:27,904
…out in the ring, "Hitman".
I'm Mr. Perfect.

1242
00:58:27,971 --> 00:58:30,807
I am what I say I am. And that's perfect.

1243
00:58:30,874 --> 00:58:34,110
What you are saying
is the mutual admiration, the respect,

1244
00:58:34,177 --> 00:58:36,346
all of that,
the friendship are out the window.

1245
00:58:36,412 --> 00:58:38,448
Everybody knows
this is the King of the Ring.

1246
00:58:38,515 --> 00:58:39,549
It's for the crown.

1247
00:58:39,616 --> 00:58:42,819
And I'll tell you what, "Hitman",
all you Canadians are alike,

1248
00:58:42,886 --> 00:58:45,989
and I'll tell you very plain
and very simple, I'm Mr. Perfect.

1249
00:58:46,055 --> 00:58:47,557
I owe you for Summerslam

1250
00:58:47,624 --> 00:58:49,826
and tonight, you're gonna get it,
Bret Hart.

1251
00:58:49,893 --> 00:58:52,095
Mr. Perfect is gonna prevail.

1252
00:58:52,562 --> 00:58:54,063
[Jim] All right, ladies and gentlemen,

1253
00:58:54,130 --> 00:58:57,100
things are heating up
here at the King of the Ring.

1254
00:58:57,166 --> 00:58:59,536
Let's get back to ringside.

1255
00:58:59,602 --> 00:59:00,803
[bell ringing]

1256
00:59:00,870 --> 00:59:04,941
[Howard] This is the semifinal match
of the King of the Ringtournament.

1257
00:59:05,008 --> 00:59:10,847
Scheduled for one fall
with a thirty-minute time limit.

1258
00:59:10,914 --> 00:59:16,986
About to enter the ring,
Bret "Hitman" Hart.

1259
00:59:17,053 --> 00:59:18,621
[upbeat music playing]

1260
00:59:18,688 --> 00:59:20,323
[Randy] I can't believe the interview

1261
00:59:20,390 --> 00:59:24,494
that just happened with Gene Okerlund
with "The Hitman" and Mr. Perfect.

1262
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:26,729
And the way they were looking
at each other

1263
00:59:26,796 --> 00:59:28,831
and what they said, incredible.

1264
00:59:28,898 --> 00:59:31,935
[Jim] They are.
They know the stakes are very, very high.

1265
00:59:32,001 --> 00:59:33,303
Another thing that's very interesting,

1266
00:59:33,369 --> 00:59:37,473
they got 15 more minutes to get it
on here one fall, 30-minute time limit.

1267
00:59:37,540 --> 00:59:39,709
-[Howard] His opponent…
-[Randy] I tell you what…

1268
00:59:39,776 --> 00:59:42,378
-[Howard] …Mr. Perfect.
-…I'm looking forward for this match.

1269
00:59:42,445 --> 00:59:43,479
[upbeat music playing]

1270
00:59:43,546 --> 00:59:45,381
A classic encounter, Heenan.

1271
00:59:45,448 --> 00:59:47,183
[Bobby] You could see anything here.

1272
00:59:47,250 --> 00:59:51,321
You wanna see wrestling, you'll see it.
You wanna see fighting, you'll see it.

1273
00:59:51,387 --> 00:59:55,858
You wanna see a brawl, a street fight,
you're gonna see it right here.

1274
00:59:55,925 --> 00:59:58,561
[Jim] Gentlemen, right now,
the NBA finals are ongoing.

1275
00:59:58,628 --> 01:00:01,464
And for that matchup,
Eric Gordon and Charles Barkley,

1276
01:00:01,531 --> 01:00:04,467
that is what I…
My analogy of these two men.

1277
01:00:04,534 --> 01:00:06,202
That's the parallels right here, Randy.

1278
01:00:06,269 --> 01:00:09,606
[Randy] Check out the determination
of Mr. Perfect's face,

1279
01:00:09,672 --> 01:00:12,742
by the eye,
"The Hitman" versus Mr. Perfect.

1280
01:00:12,809 --> 01:00:15,211
And, remember,
we got a 30-minute time limit now.

1281
01:00:15,278 --> 01:00:17,380
[Jim] The Perfect-plex
versus the Sharpshooter.

1282
01:00:17,447 --> 01:00:21,351
And, gentlemen,
I noticed on the left hand, Mr. Perfect,

1283
01:00:21,417 --> 01:00:23,453
he may have sustained a…

1284
01:00:23,519 --> 01:00:25,588
Maybe a dislocated finger or two,
his hands--

1285
01:00:25,655 --> 01:00:26,623
[Bobby] You mean "The Hitman"?

1286
01:00:26,689 --> 01:00:28,224
[Jim] The "Hitman",
I meant "The Hitman", I'm sorry.

1287
01:00:28,291 --> 01:00:29,158
[Bobby] We'll get it right…

1288
01:00:29,225 --> 01:00:31,060
-[Jim] I was trying to correct it.
-[Bobby] …I'll have to dump you.

1289
01:00:31,127 --> 01:00:33,262
[Randy] I didn't notice that too,
he just pointed that out.

1290
01:00:33,329 --> 01:00:36,432
[Bobby] Remember Razor Ramon
stomped his hands twice, each hand.

1291
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:40,970
[Jim] And Bret Hart just back out
with his hand to take.

1292
01:00:41,037 --> 01:00:42,772
[Randy] It would be a factor early on.

1293
01:00:42,839 --> 01:00:45,274
[Jim] Waist lock go behind by Mr. Perfect.

1294
01:00:45,341 --> 01:00:48,211
Both these gentlemen as you heard,
second generation stars

1295
01:00:48,277 --> 01:00:53,116
and their fathers were big brawling,
rough power wrestlers.

1296
01:00:53,182 --> 01:00:56,452
And these two men
are so technically sound as amazing.

1297
01:00:56,519 --> 01:00:58,321
[Randy] I tell you what, Bobby Heenan,
when you put me on the spot,

1298
01:00:58,388 --> 01:01:00,156
you ask me which one of these guys,

1299
01:01:00,223 --> 01:01:03,826
or who would take the King of the Ring
was between Mr. Perfect and "The Hitman".

1300
01:01:03,893 --> 01:01:06,229
And when I picked Mr. Perfect
it's because…

1301
01:01:06,295 --> 01:01:08,464
Remember, that "The Hitman"
beat Mr. Perfect

1302
01:01:08,531 --> 01:01:11,334
with a Sharpshooter
a couple of summerslams ago

1303
01:01:11,401 --> 01:01:12,735
for the Intercontinental title.

1304
01:01:12,802 --> 01:01:14,737
[Bobby] That's right.
You're right about that.

1305
01:01:14,804 --> 01:01:16,973
[Randy] And I think
that Mr. Perfect remembers it,

1306
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:21,711
-because he's a competitor all the way.
-[Jim] Summerslam '91,

1307
01:01:21,778 --> 01:01:23,746
Bret "The Hitman" Hart
defeated Mr. Perfect in a match

1308
01:01:23,813 --> 01:01:26,115
that could've gone either way
to win the Intercontinental title.

1309
01:01:26,182 --> 01:01:29,185
And it's interesting here,
if this match would to go a time limit

1310
01:01:29,252 --> 01:01:32,121
where both men are disqualified,
count it out, what have you,

1311
01:01:32,188 --> 01:01:35,491
then Bam Bam Bigelow
would be the King of the Ring.

1312
01:01:36,559 --> 01:01:38,795
Interesting situation to say the least.

1313
01:01:38,861 --> 01:01:40,463
-Good counter move by "The Hitman".
-[audience cheering]

1314
01:01:40,530 --> 01:01:42,532
[Jim] Counter hip lock,
side hip lock, take over.

1315
01:01:42,598 --> 01:01:45,034
And another counter,
here's the head scissor by Mr. Perfect.

1316
01:01:45,101 --> 01:01:47,770
[Bobby] One of those moves are crisp.
They shock their fans.

1317
01:01:47,837 --> 01:01:49,238
This is wrestling, this is great.

1318
01:01:49,305 --> 01:01:52,875
[Randy] Hey, Bobby Heenan back then
when Mr. Perfect lost to "The Hitman"

1319
01:01:52,942 --> 01:01:54,110
for the Intercontinental title,

1320
01:01:54,177 --> 01:01:56,012
were you doing business
with Mr. Perfect then

1321
01:01:56,079 --> 01:01:57,280
and is that the reason he lost?

1322
01:01:57,346 --> 01:02:00,817
-[Bobby] Oh, the… What happened was…
-[Jim] Go ahead, admit it, admit it.

1323
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:02,552
[Bobby] Wait a minute.
One of you shut your mouth.

1324
01:02:02,618 --> 01:02:05,688
I was broadcasting that evening,
I couldn't be at ringside.

1325
01:02:05,755 --> 01:02:07,190
And… Never mind.

1326
01:02:07,256 --> 01:02:08,858
[Jim] You add first,
you affected his career

1327
01:02:08,925 --> 01:02:11,961
and the smartest thing he ever did
was to get rid of you.

1328
01:02:12,028 --> 01:02:13,496
[Randy] Can you believe
what we're watching right now,

1329
01:02:13,563 --> 01:02:18,367
"The Hitman" versus Mr. Perfect,
this is a classy match.

1330
01:02:18,434 --> 01:02:20,069
-[Bobby] I tell you, I'm gonna pick.
-[Randy] Who you pick?

1331
01:02:20,136 --> 01:02:22,238
[Bobby] I'm gonna have to go with Bam Bam
because he got the bye.

1332
01:02:22,305 --> 01:02:24,006
[Randy] And who are you picking
in this match?

1333
01:02:24,073 --> 01:02:27,243
[Jim] Oh, another clean break.
What a knife edge, what a knife edge.

1334
01:02:27,310 --> 01:02:28,344
[audience chattering]

1335
01:02:28,411 --> 01:02:29,879
[Jim] You can hear the impact to that one.

1336
01:02:29,946 --> 01:02:34,317
High-risk sleeper reverse far side
and "The Hitman" skids up Mr. Perfect

1337
01:02:34,383 --> 01:02:38,254
and Perfect counters by kicking him away.
Both men trying to go for a slam.

1338
01:02:38,321 --> 01:02:42,158
Perfect for the advantage and again
Bret "The Hitman" Hart taking him away.

1339
01:02:42,225 --> 01:02:44,560
Side headlock take over.
Oh, what an offensive exchange.

1340
01:02:44,627 --> 01:02:47,730
-[Randy] I love it. Unbelievable.
-[Bobby] What a great match.

1341
01:02:47,797 --> 01:02:49,832
[Randy] I tell you what,
Bam Bam has got to be laughing

1342
01:02:49,899 --> 01:02:52,502
and feeling good right now with that bye.

1343
01:02:52,568 --> 01:02:55,271
[Bobby] It sure gives him more rest,
gives him more time.

1344
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,475
[Jim] Ladies and gentlemen,
we are live in the sold-out Nutter Center,

1345
01:02:59,542 --> 01:03:01,043
the Heartland of America.

1346
01:03:01,110 --> 01:03:04,847
We are at Dayton, Ohio,
and we're so happy that you're with us.

1347
01:03:04,914 --> 01:03:06,549
Both men trying to gain an advantage here.

1348
01:03:06,616 --> 01:03:09,552
This is the semifinals
in the King of the Ringcompetition.

1349
01:03:09,619 --> 01:03:13,456
The winner moves into the finals
to take on Bam Bam Bigelow

1350
01:03:13,523 --> 01:03:16,893
-who is getting a rest by now.
-[Bobby] A rest.

1351
01:03:16,959 --> 01:03:22,965
[Jim] He's being able to kick back
and recoup, to re-energize himself.

1352
01:03:23,032 --> 01:03:25,001
[Randy] Both these guys,
Mr. Perfect and "The Hitman"

1353
01:03:25,067 --> 01:03:26,269
have already had one match

1354
01:03:26,335 --> 01:03:30,439
and this is a big, big, big test
for both these guys.

1355
01:03:30,907 --> 01:03:33,743
[Bobby] I tell you now, I don't think
Bam Bam is sitting back relaxing.

1356
01:03:33,810 --> 01:03:35,478
-[Jim] Oh, good move there.
-[Randy] Look at this.

1357
01:03:35,545 --> 01:03:38,614
[Jim] There was a fix,
he's got a headlock too and a near fall.

1358
01:03:38,681 --> 01:03:40,149
Great move, side headlock take over.

1359
01:03:40,216 --> 01:03:43,119
[Randy] Almost a quick pin right there
for "The Hitman" over Mr. Perfect.

1360
01:03:43,186 --> 01:03:45,755
[Bobby] I believe Bam Bam
at some place in this building

1361
01:03:45,821 --> 01:03:49,025
or on the monitor or in his dressing room
is watching this match.

1362
01:03:49,091 --> 01:03:52,695
Sit back and kick back,
you better watch what's going on.

1363
01:03:52,762 --> 01:03:54,463
[Randy] I hate to say
you're right on that.

1364
01:03:54,530 --> 01:03:57,567
He's got a chance to be King of the Ring
by just winning one more match,

1365
01:03:57,633 --> 01:04:00,236
but he doesn't know who he's gonna wrestle
so he's gonna be watching.

1366
01:04:00,303 --> 01:04:01,437
[Bobby] That's why I'm going with Bam Bam.

1367
01:04:01,504 --> 01:04:03,639
He's got the advantage,
only one more match.

1368
01:04:03,706 --> 01:04:06,275
[Randy] I tell you what, he's looking
for injuries just like "The Hitman".

1369
01:04:06,342 --> 01:04:08,110
Right now,
he's got tape over those fingers

1370
01:04:08,177 --> 01:04:10,379
just like it could be a dislocated finger
or whatever.

1371
01:04:10,446 --> 01:04:12,148
[Bobby] It could be broken.

1372
01:04:12,215 --> 01:04:15,051
I'm sure he don't know,
he didn't have X-rays in the back there,

1373
01:04:15,117 --> 01:04:16,552
in the dressing area.

1374
01:04:16,619 --> 01:04:19,222
[Jim] Side headlock applied,
both men back up to a vertical base.

1375
01:04:19,288 --> 01:04:22,592
And look at those stiff full arms
right into the lower back area

1376
01:04:22,658 --> 01:04:24,360
by "The Hitman" Bret Hart.

1377
01:04:24,427 --> 01:04:27,263
And cross body, cross body pass

1378
01:04:27,330 --> 01:04:30,833
but he couldn't hook the leg of Bret
right out here by us.

1379
01:04:30,900 --> 01:04:32,068
And back up on the apron.

1380
01:04:32,134 --> 01:04:34,270
Buries that shoulder
deeper to the midsection.

1381
01:04:34,337 --> 01:04:37,740
"The Hitman" Bret Hart up over the top.
One, two, and, no.

1382
01:04:37,807 --> 01:04:40,109
-Near fall. A near fall.
-[Bobby] But he didn't hook the shoulders.

1383
01:04:40,176 --> 01:04:44,714
[Jim] Side headlock. Oh, Bret Hart
is utilizing that side headlock take over.

1384
01:04:44,780 --> 01:04:48,651
"Macho Man" Randy Savage to perfection,
no pun intended.

1385
01:04:48,718 --> 01:04:51,387
[Randy] Well, I guarantee
everything counts right now.

1386
01:04:51,454 --> 01:04:54,790
Notice the injuries, everything counts.
You gotta be watching.

1387
01:04:54,857 --> 01:04:56,959
Now Mr. Perfect
just went for hair right there

1388
01:04:57,026 --> 01:04:58,661
but I can't blame him for that.

1389
01:04:58,728 --> 01:05:01,497
I am no stranger to pulling hair.

1390
01:05:01,564 --> 01:05:04,000
[Bobby] I'll tell you something, Perfect…

1391
01:05:04,066 --> 01:05:06,936
I mean, Bret Hart is not gonna
win this match with a headlock.

1392
01:05:07,003 --> 01:05:10,873
I know Perfect. He's not bright
but he's not a quitter, he's a fighter.

1393
01:05:10,940 --> 01:05:12,742
He's an athlete and he's an…

1394
01:05:12,808 --> 01:05:15,711
Probably the best, he's peak,
he's the best shape of his life.

1395
01:05:15,778 --> 01:05:17,913
[Randy] Realize right now
that you got a 30-minute time limit,

1396
01:05:17,980 --> 01:05:21,117
so I'm not criticizing these guys
for going for covers right now.

1397
01:05:21,183 --> 01:05:24,654
Your routine in that first round,
15 minutes, you had to be quick,

1398
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:26,555
-you had to try to beat the time.
-[referee] Oh, [inaudible].

1399
01:05:26,622 --> 01:05:28,024
[Jim] Oh, he caught him on the ropes.

1400
01:05:28,090 --> 01:05:32,261
Mr. Perfect,
as we discussed the stakes in this one,

1401
01:05:32,328 --> 01:05:33,796
so very, very high.

1402
01:05:33,863 --> 01:05:35,631
You got to believe
that the King of the Ring

1403
01:05:35,698 --> 01:05:38,501
will be the number one contender
for the WWE title.

1404
01:05:38,567 --> 01:05:41,804
[Randy] Mr. Perfect, a lotta the fans
love him all over the world

1405
01:05:41,871 --> 01:05:46,409
but he's got a salty past just like I do.
And he wants to be King of the Ring.

1406
01:05:46,475 --> 01:05:49,645
And if you could take an advantage
by whatever,

1407
01:05:49,712 --> 01:05:51,981
he's gonna do it
just like he's proved it already.

1408
01:05:52,048 --> 01:05:56,052
[Jim] Oh, standing dropkick.
What a great athletic move by Mr. Perfect.

1409
01:05:56,118 --> 01:05:59,889
And Bret "The Hitman" Hart,
the impact took him all the way outside.

1410
01:05:59,955 --> 01:06:02,725
[Randy] Look at these people,
listen to them right now.

1411
01:06:02,792 --> 01:06:05,962
They don't appreciate the way Mr. Perfect
is taking the advantage.

1412
01:06:06,028 --> 01:06:07,596
[Bobby]
Well, Perfect said in the interview,

1413
01:06:07,663 --> 01:06:10,299
he will do anything to win
and so will Bret Hart.

1414
01:06:10,366 --> 01:06:12,301
And you're talking about
having a salty past

1415
01:06:12,368 --> 01:06:14,437
so does Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

1416
01:06:14,503 --> 01:06:18,541
Salt, pepper, tabasco,
anything you want, they all do.

1417
01:06:18,607 --> 01:06:19,442
[Randy] Look at this.

1418
01:06:19,508 --> 01:06:22,945
[Jim] His hand, his left hand,
fingers taped up there.

1419
01:06:23,012 --> 01:06:26,882
Again, the speculator
on the severity of the injury and…

1420
01:06:26,949 --> 01:06:28,984
Oh, I thought he, well, he…

1421
01:06:29,051 --> 01:06:31,754
Mr. Perfect, I thought was gonna
show some good sportsmanship

1422
01:06:31,821 --> 01:06:33,723
but he did kick him
as he was coming to the ropes, Randy.

1423
01:06:33,789 --> 01:06:36,892
[Randy] Unbelievable. Mr. Perfect is…

1424
01:06:36,959 --> 01:06:41,197
He's creative in he's taking the advantage
of Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

1425
01:06:41,263 --> 01:06:43,432
[Jim] Wow, what impact as Hart's face

1426
01:06:43,499 --> 01:06:46,302
met the top turnbuckle
very, very abruptly.

1427
01:06:47,570 --> 01:06:49,438
-[Bobby] Oh.
-[Jim] You can hear that chop.

1428
01:06:49,505 --> 01:06:50,639
Thunderous chop

1429
01:06:50,706 --> 01:06:55,211
and the coming axe slack form
from Mr. Perfect

1430
01:06:55,277 --> 01:06:57,446
and stiff kicks right to the hip.

1431
01:06:57,513 --> 01:07:01,183
[Randy] Talking about aggressive,
Mr. Perfect is aggressive.

1432
01:07:05,020 --> 01:07:07,957
[Jim] Big time knee lift down its mark.

1433
01:07:08,024 --> 01:07:09,592
And he's going over the cover here,

1434
01:07:09,658 --> 01:07:13,396
hooks the far leg
and a near fall by Mr. Perfect.

1435
01:07:13,462 --> 01:07:14,663
And you gotta be careful,

1436
01:07:14,730 --> 01:07:16,832
you certainly do not want to be
disqualified here

1437
01:07:16,899 --> 01:07:20,469
as he buries the kick and again Bret Hart
kicked all the way outside.

1438
01:07:20,536 --> 01:07:22,371
Hart has spent
a considerable amount of time, Randy,

1439
01:07:22,438 --> 01:07:24,407
on the outside in this matchup.

1440
01:07:24,473 --> 01:07:26,042
[Randy] I think you say
a different wrestling match

1441
01:07:26,108 --> 01:07:29,512
that we were looking forward to is now
officially gone.

1442
01:07:29,945 --> 01:07:34,483
[Jim] Oh, good grief. What a chop.
It's flesh on flesh.

1443
01:07:34,550 --> 01:07:40,423
What impact there, and now Hart's face
smacked against the ring apron.

1444
01:07:40,489 --> 01:07:42,825
-Bret Hart "The Hitman" is in big trouble.
-[audience cheering]

1445
01:07:42,892 --> 01:07:44,927
[Randy] Listen to these people.

1446
01:07:44,994 --> 01:07:48,531
[Bobby] You know, I'll tell you something,
if Perfect wins this match

1447
01:07:48,597 --> 01:07:51,967
and if he becomes King of the Ring
and apologizes to me,

1448
01:07:52,034 --> 01:07:54,403
I consider handling him again.

1449
01:07:54,470 --> 01:07:57,273
[Jim] I'm sure that will be low
in his list of priorities.

1450
01:07:57,339 --> 01:08:00,943
Straight right hand,
"The Hitman" wobbly on the apron.

1451
01:08:01,010 --> 01:08:06,916
And, oh, my God. Oh, my…
Right over here in the steel, into this--

1452
01:08:06,982 --> 01:08:09,385
The cabling and everything else here.

1453
01:08:09,452 --> 01:08:14,557
Bret "The Hitman" Hart, he smacked
the steel security railing with his body.

1454
01:08:14,623 --> 01:08:17,793
And you can hear a sickening thud
of flesh and steel.

1455
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:22,631
-He may have hurt his knee. Oh, no.
-[Randy] I think it's his right knee now.

1456
01:08:22,698 --> 01:08:26,035
[Jim] Hey, if he's counted out,
Perfect moves to the finals.

1457
01:08:26,102 --> 01:08:28,471
[Randy] Mr. Perfect just stopped the count
for some reason.

1458
01:08:28,537 --> 01:08:31,073
I don't know if he knows
that he did that or not.

1459
01:08:32,041 --> 01:08:34,176
Certainly, it's not outta kindness
for "The Hitman".

1460
01:08:34,243 --> 01:08:36,712
He's proved that
he's as vicious as anybody here.

1461
01:08:36,779 --> 01:08:39,115
[Bobby] I bet he broke his knee.
He hit that steel rail so hard.

1462
01:08:39,181 --> 01:08:41,650
[referee] One, two, three.

1463
01:08:41,717 --> 01:08:45,754
[Jim] Bret "The Hitman" Hart
writhing in pain here on the outside.

1464
01:08:46,989 --> 01:08:51,160
One thing about Perfect, I think
he wants to win this match man to man.

1465
01:08:51,227 --> 01:08:52,995
I don't think
he wants to win it with a count out.

1466
01:08:53,062 --> 01:08:55,297
-Straight right hand.
-[Bobby] Let me tell you, I know Perfect.

1467
01:08:55,364 --> 01:08:57,867
Perfect will take a win
anyway he can get it.

1468
01:08:57,933 --> 01:09:00,169
That's what it's all about here
in the WWE.

1469
01:09:00,236 --> 01:09:03,472
-You got to win to survive.
-[Randy] Exactly.

1470
01:09:03,539 --> 01:09:04,807
[Jim] He's got the lateral press,

1471
01:09:04,874 --> 01:09:07,009
he's going for it
and he got two and a half.

1472
01:09:07,643 --> 01:09:09,044
Perfect showing a little frustration,

1473
01:09:09,111 --> 01:09:12,615
but Bret Hart will not fall this time,
he will not give up.

1474
01:09:12,681 --> 01:09:14,817
Oh, these guys got gut.
Both these guys. So much gut.

1475
01:09:14,884 --> 01:09:16,886
[Randy] Think about it,
Hitman's got a hurt hand

1476
01:09:16,952 --> 01:09:19,755
and a bad knee right now
and this is his second match.

1477
01:09:19,822 --> 01:09:23,926
You gotta think right now that Mr. Perfect
has definitely got the advantage.

1478
01:09:23,993 --> 01:09:27,530
[Bobby] You know, you're right, Savage.
His knee and his hand.

1479
01:09:27,596 --> 01:09:28,931
[Jim] He's taking a chance here.

1480
01:09:28,998 --> 01:09:32,301
Mr. Perfect on top,
high-risk maneuver coming up.

1481
01:09:32,368 --> 01:09:34,403
If he hits it, it could be over.

1482
01:09:35,237 --> 01:09:37,840
-Here it comes, high dropkick.
-[audience chattering]

1483
01:09:37,907 --> 01:09:39,642
-[Randy] He got him.
-[Bobby] I got a winner.

1484
01:09:39,708 --> 01:09:41,644
[Jim] It should be over right here.

1485
01:09:41,710 --> 01:09:43,279
Bret Hart, there you see the reason

1486
01:09:43,345 --> 01:09:45,014
-starting to make up the count.
-[Randy] Smart move.

1487
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:46,582
One, two… Hart kicks out.

1488
01:09:46,649 --> 01:09:49,485
[Randy] "The Hitman" not above thinking
this would put it over the ropes

1489
01:09:49,552 --> 01:09:51,554
to save himself.

1490
01:09:51,620 --> 01:09:54,323
[Jim] Hart's gotta avoid
that Perfect-plex.

1491
01:09:54,390 --> 01:09:57,826
Chest first, get this all…
Oh, no, and a kick out.

1492
01:09:57,893 --> 01:10:00,062
He had to kick out,
that time he couldn't reach the rope.

1493
01:10:00,129 --> 01:10:01,697
[Jim] This is warfare.

1494
01:10:01,764 --> 01:10:04,099
[Bobby] And Perfect's got to avoid
the Sharpshooter

1495
01:10:04,166 --> 01:10:06,602
if Bret Hart can ever
get into that situation

1496
01:10:06,669 --> 01:10:08,237
which he doesn't look that good
for him now.

1497
01:10:08,304 --> 01:10:10,139
[Randy] He's not even close
to the Sharpshooter.

1498
01:10:10,206 --> 01:10:12,708
He's gotta save himself right now.
He's in trouble.

1499
01:10:12,775 --> 01:10:14,510
-[audience cheering]
-[Jim] He's going on top now.

1500
01:10:14,577 --> 01:10:16,145
Mr. Perfect will take another chance.

1501
01:10:16,212 --> 01:10:20,115
But "The Hitman" now quickly,
here's a quick… Oh, no.

1502
01:10:20,182 --> 01:10:23,986
Perfect going on in the steel,
great facelock by "The Hitman".

1503
01:10:24,053 --> 01:10:27,022
-Can he get Mr. Perfect down?
-One…

1504
01:10:27,089 --> 01:10:29,325
-[Jim] On the second rope…
-…two…

1505
01:10:29,391 --> 01:10:30,626
[Jim] …the altitude is high.

1506
01:10:30,693 --> 01:10:34,663
-Oh, what a come down. What impact.
-[audience cheering]

1507
01:10:34,730 --> 01:10:37,366
[Jim] And a top lateral press,
one, two, and…

1508
01:10:37,433 --> 01:10:39,168
-[Bobby] Oh, no, no.
-[Randy] Unbelievable.

1509
01:10:39,235 --> 01:10:42,938
[Jim] Both these guys,
the fatigue factor isn't a factor here.

1510
01:10:43,005 --> 01:10:44,807
Don't they get tired? What?

1511
01:10:44,873 --> 01:10:48,444
[Bobby] Of course, they get tired
but they wanna be the King of the Ring.

1512
01:10:48,510 --> 01:10:50,746
You want that gold
in the World Wrestling Entertainment,

1513
01:10:50,813 --> 01:10:54,683
you want your title shots,
you want everything that's coming here.

1514
01:10:54,750 --> 01:10:56,151
[Jim] Oh, no, wow.

1515
01:10:56,218 --> 01:10:58,187
[Randy] What a grueling match
this has turned out to be.

1516
01:10:58,254 --> 01:11:02,491
This is incredible. Give "The Hitman"
credit for even making a sowing right now.

1517
01:11:02,558 --> 01:11:04,159
[Jim] Bret Hart getting very vicious

1518
01:11:04,226 --> 01:11:05,961
-as he's working for the both legs.
-[Randy] Sharpshooter.

1519
01:11:06,028 --> 01:11:07,162
[Jim] He's gonna have
the Sharpshooter here.

1520
01:11:07,229 --> 01:11:08,264
-[Randy] Look out.
-[Bobby] No, figure four.

1521
01:11:08,330 --> 01:11:09,431
-[Randy] Figure four.
-[Bobby] Figure four.

1522
01:11:09,498 --> 01:11:10,599
-[Jim] Figure four.
-[Bobby] Get out.

1523
01:11:10,666 --> 01:11:12,501
[Randy] He's got it
in the middle of the ring.

1524
01:11:12,568 --> 01:11:17,506
[Jim] A submission maneuver,
"The Hitman" has it applied perfectly.

1525
01:11:17,573 --> 01:11:19,375
[Bobby] Slap me in the face,
will you, Ross?

1526
01:11:19,441 --> 01:11:20,709
-I found myself cheering for--
-[Jim] [inaudible].

1527
01:11:20,776 --> 01:11:23,746
[Bobby] I saw in front of myself
cheering for Perfect. I don't know why.

1528
01:11:23,812 --> 01:11:26,448
You're really getting involved
in the action here.

1529
01:11:26,515 --> 01:11:29,485
[Randy] Again, unbelievable respect
for both of these guys.

1530
01:11:29,551 --> 01:11:32,121
-Look at the referee even.
-[Jim] Oh.

1531
01:11:32,187 --> 01:11:33,322
[audience cheering]

1532
01:11:33,389 --> 01:11:34,757
Perfect is--

1533
01:11:34,823 --> 01:11:37,660
He's in danger of having his leg
snapped right here.

1534
01:11:37,726 --> 01:11:38,961
[inaudible].

1535
01:11:39,028 --> 01:11:41,497
[Randy] I can't believe what I'm watching.
What a match.

1536
01:11:41,563 --> 01:11:45,968
[Jim] The pain, the pain
has gotta be excruciating for Mr. Perfect.

1537
01:11:46,035 --> 01:11:47,770
You can see that's on his face.

1538
01:11:47,836 --> 01:11:49,838
[Bobby] Not only is the pain excruciating,

1539
01:11:49,905 --> 01:11:53,642
not only does Perfect wanna win this,
I know him, I know what's inside.

1540
01:11:53,709 --> 01:11:56,312
He will do anything
to get outta the figure four.

1541
01:11:56,378 --> 01:12:00,115
[Randy] Mr. Perfect is going for the rope.
He's almost there.

1542
01:12:00,182 --> 01:12:02,051
[Jim] He's inches away,
inches away, Randy.

1543
01:12:02,117 --> 01:12:04,153
-Inches away.
-[Randy] He's a fingernail away.

1544
01:12:04,219 --> 01:12:05,187
-He's there.
-[Jim] He got it.

1545
01:12:05,254 --> 01:12:06,322
[Bobby] Got it.

1546
01:12:07,790 --> 01:12:10,826
[Jim] But the big question now,
what kinda effect,

1547
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,430
what kinda lasting effect
did that figure-four have on Mr. Perfect?

1548
01:12:14,496 --> 01:12:17,132
[Randy] Not only Mr. Perfect,
but "The Hitman" is limping too,

1549
01:12:17,199 --> 01:12:19,601
and remember that hand is taint.

1550
01:12:21,437 --> 01:12:22,705
[Jim] Single leg.

1551
01:12:22,771 --> 01:12:24,373
[Randy] What's he doing?
Going for the Sharpshooter, maybe?

1552
01:12:24,440 --> 01:12:25,708
[Bobby] I'm sure he is.

1553
01:12:25,774 --> 01:12:28,877
[Jim] And he throws the elbow
into the leg. He grapevines it.

1554
01:12:28,944 --> 01:12:33,215
It's Bret "The Hitman" Hart weakening,
obviously, the leg of Mr. Perfect.

1555
01:12:33,282 --> 01:12:36,952
Anyone would think that
he's got the Sharpshooter on his mind.

1556
01:12:37,019 --> 01:12:40,556
[Bobby] I'm surprised after Bret Hart
being heave from the ring

1557
01:12:40,622 --> 01:12:44,660
like he was into the steel rail
onto the floor is even back in that ring

1558
01:12:44,727 --> 01:12:47,296
and in control of the match.

1559
01:12:47,362 --> 01:12:50,399
[Randy] Bam Bam is lucky.
Lucky he's already in the finals.

1560
01:12:50,466 --> 01:12:52,801
Look, what these guys are having to do.

1561
01:12:52,868 --> 01:12:54,903
[Jim] Can you imagine
the condition of either man?

1562
01:12:54,970 --> 01:12:57,373
Whomever advances if either do,

1563
01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:01,043
the condition they're gonna be in
to meet a well-rested Bam Bam Bigelow

1564
01:13:01,110 --> 01:13:02,511
later in this broadcast.

1565
01:13:02,578 --> 01:13:05,080
[Randy] It might be easy pickings
for Bam Bam Bigelow,

1566
01:13:05,147 --> 01:13:06,815
no matter who he faces.

1567
01:13:07,983 --> 01:13:10,986
[Jim] Both men groggy and rightfully so.

1568
01:13:11,053 --> 01:13:14,056
But you got to admire both
of these men so, so very much.

1569
01:13:14,123 --> 01:13:17,226
Two phenomenal athletes, and they're
giving all they got right here.

1570
01:13:17,292 --> 01:13:19,528
One, two…

1571
01:13:19,595 --> 01:13:21,430
[Jim] Right by the hair,

1572
01:13:21,497 --> 01:13:25,801
Hart goes up and over,
a double handful of hair by Mr. Perfect,

1573
01:13:25,868 --> 01:13:28,337
and it is getting down and dirty here.

1574
01:13:28,804 --> 01:13:33,108
[Bobby] To the nitty-gritty, pal.
Here we go. Come on.

1575
01:13:33,175 --> 01:13:35,144
Let's see
what you're made of, both of you.

1576
01:13:35,210 --> 01:13:36,044
Get up. Come on.

1577
01:13:36,111 --> 01:13:37,613
[Randy]
I'll tell you what they're made of now.

1578
01:13:37,679 --> 01:13:42,684
These guys are two of the toughest guys
ever in the WWE.

1579
01:13:42,751 --> 01:13:45,687
-What respect I have for both of them.
-[Bobby] You're wrong.

1580
01:13:45,754 --> 01:13:49,258
Probably, two of the toughest men
walking the face of this Earth.

1581
01:13:49,324 --> 01:13:52,060
[Jim] Sleeper hold,
sleeper hold by Mr. Perfect.

1582
01:13:52,127 --> 01:13:54,763
He's got "The Hitman"
in the center of the ring.

1583
01:13:54,830 --> 01:13:57,433
[Bobby] Choking him.
I think he's choking him.

1584
01:13:57,499 --> 01:14:01,637
[Jim] I don't think so.
It looked like a legal sleeper to me.

1585
01:14:01,703 --> 01:14:05,641
[Randy] Hitman's near the rope,
but not close enough to get it.

1586
01:14:05,707 --> 01:14:07,443
Something's gotta give right now,

1587
01:14:07,509 --> 01:14:11,880
otherwise, it's Goodnight Irene,
Mr. Perfect versus Bam Bam.

1588
01:14:11,947 --> 01:14:15,551
[Jim] Perfect trying to clip the neck,
restrict the flow of blood to the brain,

1589
01:14:15,617 --> 01:14:19,755
to the carotid artery there,
trying to clip that neck even more

1590
01:14:19,822 --> 01:14:21,156
and causing unconsciousness.

1591
01:14:21,223 --> 01:14:24,827
Bret "The Hitman" Hart grabbing
a handful of hair out of desperation.

1592
01:14:24,893 --> 01:14:28,530
[audience chattering and cheering]

1593
01:14:28,597 --> 01:14:30,265
[Bobby] He's got him. He's got him.

1594
01:14:30,332 --> 01:14:32,167
[Jim] Hitman trying
to get back up to his feet.

1595
01:14:32,234 --> 01:14:35,003
-[Bobby] Oh.
-[Jim] Now he got himself in the ropes.

1596
01:14:35,070 --> 01:14:37,139
The referee will call for a break.

1597
01:14:37,206 --> 01:14:40,442
One. Come on, get off the rope. One.

1598
01:14:40,509 --> 01:14:42,578
[Bobby] That was the only move
left for "The Hitman".

1599
01:14:42,644 --> 01:14:45,647
[Jim] He better break that hold
or he could be disqualified right here.

1600
01:14:45,714 --> 01:14:48,650
[Randy] Noticed he broke the hold
right before he got disqualified.

1601
01:14:48,717 --> 01:14:52,187
The knee just gave out on Mr. Perfect,
but that was a smart move by Mr. Perfect,

1602
01:14:52,254 --> 01:14:54,523
those extra seconds
that he kept the sleeper on

1603
01:14:54,590 --> 01:14:56,325
is gonna be bad for "Hitman".

1604
01:14:56,391 --> 01:14:58,727
[Bobby] Very important
because, like you said, Savage,

1605
01:14:58,794 --> 01:15:02,731
he had a count of five to break it,
being a veteran, being the smartest…

1606
01:15:02,798 --> 01:15:05,501
He thinks he is,
he took advantage of all the seconds.

1607
01:15:05,567 --> 01:15:07,536
[Jim] Mr. Perfect again with a sleeper.

1608
01:15:08,337 --> 01:15:11,840
This sold out crowd here in Nutter Center
looking on and off,

1609
01:15:11,907 --> 01:15:13,876
they're in to this one.
What a phenomenal matchup.

1610
01:15:13,942 --> 01:15:17,145
And perfect getting an unfair advantage
by putting his foot on the rope.

1611
01:15:17,212 --> 01:15:18,714
[audience cheering]

1612
01:15:18,780 --> 01:15:21,149
[Randy] He could put him out right now.

1613
01:15:22,084 --> 01:15:25,888
[Randy] Ladies and gentlemen, we have
passed the 15 minute mark in this contest,

1614
01:15:25,954 --> 01:15:30,359
there are, approximately,
15 minutes remaining to time limit.

1615
01:15:30,425 --> 01:15:32,227
[Bobby] I don't believe
it will go the time limit.

1616
01:15:32,294 --> 01:15:35,831
They cannot keep up this grueling pace
for another 15 minutes.

1617
01:15:35,898 --> 01:15:38,367
[Randy] I agree. I can't believe
they went past the ten-minute mark

1618
01:15:38,433 --> 01:15:39,368
the way they started out.

1619
01:15:39,434 --> 01:15:40,536
[Bobby] You know, Savage and Ross,

1620
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:44,273
uh, Hart's probably got two broken,
three broken fingers.

1621
01:15:44,339 --> 01:15:47,843
You know, Perfect's knee is hurt.
You know, Bret Hart's knee is hurt.

1622
01:15:47,910 --> 01:15:49,378
I don't think they'll have any parts
left for them

1623
01:15:49,444 --> 01:15:52,014
-to go another 15 minutes.
-[Randy] Exactly. And Bam Bam is like--

1624
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:55,350
[Jim] Oh, he tuck into the top turnbuckle,
face first.

1625
01:15:55,417 --> 01:15:58,487
One thing is very, very important
to remember here is that,

1626
01:15:58,554 --> 01:16:00,222
if we do not have a winner,

1627
01:16:00,289 --> 01:16:03,158
then Bam Bam Bigelow
will be the King of the Ring.

1628
01:16:03,225 --> 01:16:04,559
[inaudible] "Hitman".

1629
01:16:05,827 --> 01:16:08,664
[Randy] Can you believe that
he got in to the back door,

1630
01:16:08,730 --> 01:16:11,466
-and was the first King of the Ring?
-[Bobby] That's what happened.

1631
01:16:11,533 --> 01:16:14,670
But winning one match, and you're right,
I didn't even think about that.

1632
01:16:15,904 --> 01:16:18,240
-[Jim] Oh, wow.
-[Randy] What a lifter.

1633
01:16:18,307 --> 01:16:22,010
[Jim] Man, what a forearm,
what a forearm from "The Hitman".

1634
01:16:22,077 --> 01:16:24,146
[Bobby] He brought that
from the basement to the roof.

1635
01:16:24,212 --> 01:16:26,048
He brought that
from the Hart family dungeon,

1636
01:16:26,114 --> 01:16:28,350
that basement all the way to the mouth.

1637
01:16:28,417 --> 01:16:31,086
[Bobby] Have you ever been
to Hart family dungeon?

1638
01:16:31,153 --> 01:16:33,288
-In most homes…
-[Jim] Oh, my.

1639
01:16:33,355 --> 01:16:36,224
[Randy] Mr. Perfect's trying
to scoot outta the ring right there.

1640
01:16:36,291 --> 01:16:40,128
Lost the sense of where he was in the ring
and that will cost him.

1641
01:16:41,363 --> 01:16:42,230
[Bobby] Look at this.

1642
01:16:42,297 --> 01:16:44,166
[Jim] Perfect has gotta be
in phenomenal amount of pain.

1643
01:16:44,232 --> 01:16:47,002
And Bret "The Hitman" capitalized on it.

1644
01:16:47,603 --> 01:16:50,172
Inverted atomic drop,
side Russian leg sweep.

1645
01:16:50,238 --> 01:16:52,307
This could be all. Will this be all?

1646
01:16:52,374 --> 01:16:54,910
No. No, it will not.

1647
01:16:55,744 --> 01:16:59,147
[Bobby] Boy, they're reaching down
to get what they have to.

1648
01:16:59,214 --> 01:17:01,283
[Randy] Both men pulling out
all the stops,

1649
01:17:01,350 --> 01:17:03,785
former World Wrestling Entertainment
Champion,

1650
01:17:03,852 --> 01:17:08,056
Bret "The Hitman" Hart guaranteed
he wants this match bad,

1651
01:17:08,123 --> 01:17:09,324
but not any worse than Mr. Perfect does.

1652
01:17:09,391 --> 01:17:11,026
[Jim] Oh, backbreaker,

1653
01:17:11,093 --> 01:17:15,197
these two, two-time former
Intercontinental Champions,

1654
01:17:15,263 --> 01:17:17,566
putting their bodies on the line.

1655
01:17:17,633 --> 01:17:20,802
These are career-shortening matches.
What it that takes out of you,

1656
01:17:20,869 --> 01:17:24,006
what it drags…
Oh, right in the Perfect's face.

1657
01:17:24,072 --> 01:17:26,041
[Randy] That could be it.

1658
01:17:26,108 --> 01:17:30,212
[Jim] My gosh, a lateral press,
one, two, and I have again.

1659
01:17:30,278 --> 01:17:31,380
[Bobby] Got his shoulder up.

1660
01:17:31,446 --> 01:17:33,882
[Randy] I feel like
I'm in this match myself.

1661
01:17:33,949 --> 01:17:35,183
[Bobby] But I'll tell you something,

1662
01:17:35,250 --> 01:17:39,021
"The Hitman"
whether he's showing a lot or not,

1663
01:17:39,087 --> 01:17:41,189
-he is favoring… Oh, wait.
-[Jim] Oh, the Sharpshooter.

1664
01:17:41,256 --> 01:17:43,759
He's going for the Sharpshooter.
He's going for it.

1665
01:17:43,825 --> 01:17:47,763
Oh, Perfect's grabbing
Bret Hart's left fingers, look at that.

1666
01:17:47,829 --> 01:17:49,698
He's got Bret Hart by the left hand,

1667
01:17:49,765 --> 01:17:51,400
and those, that hand has gotta be damaged.

1668
01:17:51,466 --> 01:17:54,970
[Randy] He knows that hand is hurting.
Look at Mr. Perfect.

1669
01:17:55,037 --> 01:17:58,106
[Jim] Oh, it's a smart move
whether you like it or not.

1670
01:17:58,173 --> 01:17:59,074
-[Randy] See.
-[Jim] It's the strategy.

1671
01:17:59,141 --> 01:18:02,177
-[Randy] It's a smart move. You're right.
-[Bobby] I tell you why it's a smart move,

1672
01:18:02,244 --> 01:18:05,113
he is still relying on my psychology,

1673
01:18:05,180 --> 01:18:09,051
he remembers what I taught him.
That's why he's there because of me.

1674
01:18:10,819 --> 01:18:12,521
[Randy]
That doesn't even dignify your remark.

1675
01:18:12,587 --> 01:18:13,755
[Jim] It doesn't, absolutely not.

1676
01:18:13,822 --> 01:18:17,659
The facelock, he's got Perfect-plex,
he's got the Perfect-plex.

1677
01:18:17,726 --> 01:18:20,128
Hart's trying to fight it off.
He's trying to block it.

1678
01:18:20,195 --> 01:18:22,130
Mr. Perfect trying
to go for his favorite maneuver,

1679
01:18:22,197 --> 01:18:24,199
the Perfect-plex,
but he couldn't execute it.

1680
01:18:24,266 --> 01:18:28,336
Hart is blocking the suplex.
They're count… Oh, no.

1681
01:18:28,403 --> 01:18:31,273
-[Bobby] Oh, no.
-[Jim] They're both up and over the top.

1682
01:18:31,339 --> 01:18:33,608
I can't believe what I've just seen.

1683
01:18:33,675 --> 01:18:35,210
This could be a double count-out,

1684
01:18:35,277 --> 01:18:38,413
and Bam Bam Bigelow
could be theKing of the Ring.

1685
01:18:38,480 --> 01:18:41,683
[Jim] Both men
slapped against the concrete floor.

1686
01:18:41,750 --> 01:18:43,752
[Bobby] But Mr. Perfect when he went over,

1687
01:18:43,819 --> 01:18:46,688
smashed his kidneys into the apron.
He is hurt.

1688
01:18:46,755 --> 01:18:48,757
[Randy] Mr. Perfect
just made it back into the ring.

1689
01:18:48,824 --> 01:18:49,958
[Jim] Perfect back in the ring.

1690
01:18:50,025 --> 01:18:52,427
If Bret "The Hitman" Hart
cannot return to the ring,

1691
01:18:52,494 --> 01:18:55,897
he will face Bam Bam Bigelow in the finals
for the King of the Ringtournament,

1692
01:18:55,964 --> 01:18:56,998
but he does, he's back.

1693
01:18:57,065 --> 01:18:59,634
And the Perfect's leg,
he can barely stand.

1694
01:18:59,701 --> 01:19:03,004
[Bobby] Whoever wins,
it's gonna be easy picking for Bam Bam.

1695
01:19:03,071 --> 01:19:07,275
[Jim] Perfect's leg is injured.
His leg is hurt. It's a turtle, one, two…

1696
01:19:07,342 --> 01:19:10,045
Oh, it's countered,
it's countered, and, yeah.

1697
01:19:10,112 --> 01:19:11,113
-[audience cheering]
-[bell ringing]

1698
01:19:11,179 --> 01:19:13,515
[Jim] What a match, what a match.

1699
01:19:15,016 --> 01:19:16,685
[Randy] He reversed it.

1700
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:24,159
[Howard] Here is your winner,
Bret "Hitman" Hart.

1701
01:19:24,226 --> 01:19:29,030
[Randy] Mr. Perfect cannot believe
what just happened and neither can I.

1702
01:19:29,631 --> 01:19:32,901
[Jim] What a hell of a wrestling match
you have just seen.

1703
01:19:33,835 --> 01:19:35,604
[Bobby] Bam Bam,
if you're back there listening…

1704
01:19:35,670 --> 01:19:37,339
[Randy] Check this out, check this out.

1705
01:19:37,405 --> 01:19:40,075
Mr. Perfect just looked at "The Hitman",
I don't know what he said,

1706
01:19:40,142 --> 01:19:43,311
but he just got outta the ring,
no shaking of hands here,

1707
01:19:43,378 --> 01:19:45,180
I can't believe it.

1708
01:19:45,247 --> 01:19:47,449
-[Jim] Well…
-[Randy] He must be disappointed.

1709
01:19:47,516 --> 01:19:50,352
[Jim] …barely his leg
wasn't really hurt after all.

1710
01:19:50,418 --> 01:19:53,288
He took a page outta Hart's book
and was playing possum.

1711
01:19:53,355 --> 01:19:58,226
[Randy] Hitman is walking around,
he's okay with the leg playing possum.

1712
01:19:58,293 --> 01:20:02,097
[Jim] Perfect, he was limping,
trying a little subterfuge

1713
01:20:02,164 --> 01:20:04,032
with Bret "The Hitman" Hart in a--

1714
01:20:04,099 --> 01:20:06,935
[Randy] Look at this,
Mr. Perfect's going into the ring.

1715
01:20:07,002 --> 01:20:08,904
[Jim] A very disappointed Mr. Perfect,

1716
01:20:08,970 --> 01:20:11,206
and we may have
another confrontation here.

1717
01:20:12,207 --> 01:20:15,544
[Randy] What's going on here?
Look at this.

1718
01:20:15,610 --> 01:20:17,846
This is the conversation
I wish I could hear.

1719
01:20:17,913 --> 01:20:19,314
[audience whistling and cheering]

1720
01:20:19,381 --> 01:20:22,083
-[Jim] What a wrestling match.
-[Randy] What's this?

1721
01:20:22,150 --> 01:20:23,518
He's going for a handshake.

1722
01:20:23,585 --> 01:20:25,620
-[Randy] Be careful.
-[Jim] Look at this. That's class.

1723
01:20:25,687 --> 01:20:29,558
-[Randy] That is unbelievable.
-[upbeat music playing]

1724
01:20:29,624 --> 01:20:33,195
[Jim] What a sportsman-like gesture
by Mr. Perfect,

1725
01:20:33,261 --> 01:20:36,131
and what a victory
for Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

1726
01:20:36,198 --> 01:20:41,703
Of course, Bret "The Hitman" Hart
will go on and meet Bam Bam Bigelow.

1727
01:20:41,770 --> 01:20:45,106
And we're gonna take a look now
at the brackets, ladies and gentlemen.

1728
01:20:45,173 --> 01:20:47,876
As you see, our final slot,

1729
01:20:47,943 --> 01:20:51,346
the final position in the finals
has been determined.

1730
01:20:51,413 --> 01:20:54,549
It will be Bret Hart,
meeting Bam Bam Bigelow

1731
01:20:54,616 --> 01:20:58,053
to determine the key to the ring.
What do you think?

1732
01:20:58,119 --> 01:21:01,056
That match took a lot outta me,
I took my head off,

1733
01:21:01,122 --> 01:21:05,660
I took my glasses off,
thumbs up to Mr. Perfect and "The Hitman",

1734
01:21:05,727 --> 01:21:08,196
and congratulations to both of them.

1735
01:21:08,263 --> 01:21:11,066
Weasel, have you ever seen a more intense
like competitive match than that?

1736
01:21:11,132 --> 01:21:12,701
What did you refer to me as?

1737
01:21:12,767 --> 01:21:15,537
-Weasel.
-I know you're not talking to me, are you?

1738
01:21:16,404 --> 01:21:19,441
-Brain. Never mind. Ladies and gentlemen--
-Come on, Hulk Hogan.

1739
01:21:19,507 --> 01:21:22,844
[Jim] "Mean Gene" Okerlund had the chance
to talk to Hulk Hogan,

1740
01:21:22,911 --> 01:21:27,015
and here are their pre-recorded comments.
Let's go to "Mean" Gene and the Hulkster.

1741
01:21:28,183 --> 01:21:29,584
[Gene] This ladies and gentlemen,

1742
01:21:29,651 --> 01:21:33,088
is the five-time
World Wrestling Entertainment Champ.

1743
01:21:33,154 --> 01:21:36,858
This is the Immortal Hulk Hogan,
the great American hero,

1744
01:21:36,925 --> 01:21:40,528
perhaps the greatest hero
in the history of the planet.

1745
01:21:40,595 --> 01:21:41,763
And right here tonight,

1746
01:21:41,830 --> 01:21:45,233
in the Heartland of America in Dayton,
Ohio, Hulkster,

1747
01:21:45,300 --> 01:21:47,869
you with Jimmy Hart in your corner

1748
01:21:47,936 --> 01:21:51,339
will be defending
the World Wrestling Entertainment title

1749
01:21:51,406 --> 01:21:55,844
against 550 somewhat pounds of Yokozuna.

1750
01:21:55,911 --> 01:21:58,713
That title is gonna be on the line,
I can see you are ready.

1751
01:21:58,780 --> 01:22:02,450
[Hulk Hogan] And this "Mean" Gene
is the eye of the Hulkster, brother.

1752
01:22:02,517 --> 01:22:06,087
And this is the face of the Hulkster
that's gonna represent

1753
01:22:06,154 --> 01:22:07,789
the whole country of America.

1754
01:22:07,856 --> 01:22:11,760
And these, brother,
are the heavy duty artillery

1755
01:22:11,826 --> 01:22:17,098
that's gonna shoot Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji
right outta their nest, brother.

1756
01:22:17,165 --> 01:22:20,535
Right here in Dayton, Ohio,
the Heartland of America,

1757
01:22:20,602 --> 01:22:23,838
there is no water around us,
there will be no sneak attack,

1758
01:22:23,905 --> 01:22:27,809
I've got Yokozuna
right in the center of the ring, brother.

1759
01:22:27,876 --> 01:22:31,646
And the power of the Hulkamaniacs,
the power of the Little Hulksters,

1760
01:22:31,713 --> 01:22:36,217
this is where Hulk Hogan's power lies,
brother, all the training,

1761
01:22:36,284 --> 01:22:41,856
all the prayers, all the vitamins,
five-times as WWE Champion.

1762
01:22:41,923 --> 01:22:44,426
I will remain that way "Mean" Gene

1763
01:22:44,492 --> 01:22:49,331
after I test the power of Fuji's Yokozuna.

1764
01:22:49,397 --> 01:22:51,766
Five time
World Wrestling Entertainment Champion,

1765
01:22:51,833 --> 01:22:54,369
no fluke, but, of course,
I should remind you

1766
01:22:54,436 --> 01:22:56,671
that Mr. Fuji is gonna be
in Yokozuna's corner.

1767
01:22:56,738 --> 01:23:01,476
-We all know what he's capable of.
-Tell him about Mr. Fuji, Jimmy Hart.

1768
01:23:01,543 --> 01:23:03,812
You know, all over the world,
everywhere Jimmy Hart goes,

1769
01:23:03,878 --> 01:23:07,882
people wanna know what's it like
to manage Hulk Hogan, what's he all about.

1770
01:23:07,949 --> 01:23:11,353
This man has red, white, and blue
running through his veins.

1771
01:23:11,419 --> 01:23:14,255
And he was born and raised in the USA.

1772
01:23:14,322 --> 01:23:17,592
And Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna,
when you talk about the flag,

1773
01:23:17,659 --> 01:23:19,394
and when you talk about America,

1774
01:23:19,461 --> 01:23:22,530
it's like a slap into Hulkster's face,
baby.

1775
01:23:22,597 --> 01:23:25,867
When you think about
the purple mountains majesty,

1776
01:23:25,934 --> 01:23:31,272
the Amber waves of grain,
the red, the white, and the blue,

1777
01:23:31,339 --> 01:23:34,642
Hulkamania is right there with it,
brother,

1778
01:23:34,709 --> 01:23:38,546
that's because the prayers,
the dreams of America

1779
01:23:38,613 --> 01:23:40,949
and all those little Hulkamaniacs

1780
01:23:41,016 --> 01:23:43,585
are going into that ring
with me tonight, brother.

1781
01:23:43,651 --> 01:23:48,189
It's all on the line right here in Dayton,
the Heartland of the USA.

1782
01:23:48,256 --> 01:23:52,827
As I step in that ring
by crook or by hook,

1783
01:23:52,894 --> 01:23:54,863
I'll put that big man down.

1784
01:23:54,929 --> 01:24:00,835
What you're gonna do when America
and the largest guns destroy you?

1785
01:24:02,270 --> 01:24:03,671
[bell ringing]

1786
01:24:03,738 --> 01:24:06,474
[Howard] Ladies and gentlemen,
the following contest,

1787
01:24:06,541 --> 01:24:08,676
scheduled for one fall.

1788
01:24:08,743 --> 01:24:14,049
It's for the World Wrestling Entertainment
Championship.

1789
01:24:14,115 --> 01:24:18,586
-[mellow music playing]
-[audience cheering]

1790
01:24:18,653 --> 01:24:21,189
[Howard] Coming down the aisle

1791
01:24:21,256 --> 01:24:26,094
with Mr. Fuji is the challenger,

1792
01:24:26,161 --> 01:24:29,264
from the Polynesian Island,

1793
01:24:29,330 --> 01:24:34,569
weighing 550 pounds,

1794
01:24:34,636 --> 01:24:38,440
Yokozuna.

1795
01:24:39,441 --> 01:24:40,775
[Jim] [inaudible], ladies and gentlemen?

1796
01:24:40,842 --> 01:24:43,244
This is an event
of international magnitude.

1797
01:24:43,311 --> 01:24:46,381
Photographers from around the world
especially a large contingent

1798
01:24:46,448 --> 01:24:49,217
from the orient here,
as they are documenting

1799
01:24:49,284 --> 01:24:53,621
Yokozuna's every move
they have apparently for several days

1800
01:24:53,688 --> 01:24:58,593
as we have seen many, many photographers
here in Dayton.

1801
01:24:58,660 --> 01:25:00,261
[mellow music playing continuous]

1802
01:25:00,328 --> 01:25:02,864
[Randy] This could answer
a lotta unanswered questions

1803
01:25:02,931 --> 01:25:04,599
from WrestleMania IX,

1804
01:25:04,666 --> 01:25:08,436
a lotta pressure on President Jack Tunney
for what he did.

1805
01:25:08,503 --> 01:25:13,842
But this is Yokozuna versus Hulk Hogan,
and let the winner be the winner.

1806
01:25:13,908 --> 01:25:19,280
[Jim] One thing, Randy, he's 550 pounds,
bigger than he has ever been.

1807
01:25:19,347 --> 01:25:22,016
[Bobby] And I understand
Hulk Hogan trimmed down,

1808
01:25:22,083 --> 01:25:24,819
so he can have more speed, more endurance.

1809
01:25:24,886 --> 01:25:28,056
But I'll tell you something,
Hogan's gonna take him out early.

1810
01:25:28,123 --> 01:25:30,058
[Randy] Why is that, Heenan?

1811
01:25:30,125 --> 01:25:31,326
-[Bobby] Why is that?
-[Randy] Yeah.

1812
01:25:31,392 --> 01:25:33,361
[Bobby] Because the longer the match goes,

1813
01:25:33,428 --> 01:25:35,830
I believe Yokozuna
will have the advantage,

1814
01:25:35,897 --> 01:25:37,432
he will wear Hogan down.

1815
01:25:37,499 --> 01:25:40,468
-I think it's gonna go that way.
-[Randy] A lot of…

1816
01:25:41,402 --> 01:25:43,605
[Jim] One thing is for sure,
Hogan will be quicker,

1817
01:25:43,671 --> 01:25:48,476
he will be faster than he has ever been
in any of his former title defences,

1818
01:25:48,543 --> 01:25:51,980
of course, the Hulkster,
a five-time WWE Champion.

1819
01:25:52,046 --> 01:25:55,850
Won his first WWE title in 1984.

1820
01:25:55,917 --> 01:26:00,321
[Bobby] This is gonna be interesting
because he's wrestling a fresh Yokozuna,

1821
01:26:00,388 --> 01:26:02,090
not a man that has already had

1822
01:26:02,157 --> 01:26:04,726
a 30-minute match
with Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

1823
01:26:04,792 --> 01:26:08,530
[Jim] Well, their last match lasted
less than 30 seconds

1824
01:26:08,596 --> 01:26:10,832
when Hogan won the title at WrestleMania,

1825
01:26:10,899 --> 01:26:15,470
and he has not defended a title
until this night.

1826
01:26:16,437 --> 01:26:21,576
[Randy] I don't know why he did that,
but his plan is his plan, whatever.

1827
01:26:21,643 --> 01:26:23,511
This is the bottom line right here.

1828
01:26:23,578 --> 01:26:26,548
When he comes down that aisle,
this place is gonna erupt.

1829
01:26:26,614 --> 01:26:28,983
[Bobby] And, remember,
the last time Yokozuna wrestled,

1830
01:26:29,050 --> 01:26:33,188
he wrestled a 20-minute, 30-minute match
to win the WWE title as for…

1831
01:26:33,254 --> 01:26:34,556
Uh-oh, here we go.

1832
01:26:34,622 --> 01:26:38,593
-[audience cheering]
-[upbeat music playing]

1833
01:26:38,660 --> 01:26:39,761
[Randy] Listen to this.

1834
01:26:39,827 --> 01:26:43,398
[Howard] And his opponent
coming down the aisle,

1835
01:26:43,464 --> 01:26:47,402
the [inaudible] of [inaudible].

1836
01:26:47,468 --> 01:26:53,508
From Venice Beach, California,
weighing 302 pounds,

1837
01:26:53,575 --> 01:26:57,579
the World Wrestling Entertainment
Champion,

1838
01:26:57,645 --> 01:27:01,816
Hulk Hogan.

1839
01:27:01,883 --> 01:27:05,587
-[audience cheering]
-["Real American" music playing]

1840
01:27:05,653 --> 01:27:07,388
[Jim] Listen to this.

1841
01:27:07,455 --> 01:27:12,193
Phenomenal ovation, the WWE Champion.

1842
01:27:12,260 --> 01:27:16,297
[Bobby] He thrives on these people,
he thrives on the Hulksters,

1843
01:27:16,364 --> 01:27:19,367
the Little Hulksters,
this is what keeps that man going.

1844
01:27:19,434 --> 01:27:24,405
But the 550 pounds of a man
who has a different idea

1845
01:27:24,472 --> 01:27:26,941
of what Hulk Hogan is all about.

1846
01:27:29,177 --> 01:27:32,614
[Jim] You can feel this facility shake,
literally moving,

1847
01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:38,553
the rafter shaking with the ovation
of the WWE Champion, Hulk Hogan

1848
01:27:38,620 --> 01:27:42,056
as he comes up the steps
and steps up on the apron.

1849
01:27:43,258 --> 01:27:45,760
[Randy] Lean and mean.

1850
01:27:45,827 --> 01:27:49,230
[Bobby] You know, Hogan has already been
in the ring with Yokozuna

1851
01:27:49,297 --> 01:27:52,834
one other time, and that was
for less than a minute, I think.

1852
01:27:52,900 --> 01:27:56,437
[Randy] Look at this, he's telling
the people he's gonna slam Yokozuna.

1853
01:27:56,504 --> 01:27:59,507
-[Bobby] Nobody slams Yokozuna.
-[Randy] We'll see.

1854
01:27:59,574 --> 01:28:01,609
["Real American" music playing continuous]

1855
01:28:01,676 --> 01:28:04,345
[Jim] The Hulkster ready for war.

1856
01:28:04,412 --> 01:28:08,383
And you can bet, ladies and gentlemen,
it will be warfare here.

1857
01:28:08,449 --> 01:28:12,887
[Randy] If anybody can slam Yokozuna,
Hulk Hogan can.

1858
01:28:12,954 --> 01:28:14,522
[audience cheering]

1859
01:28:14,589 --> 01:28:17,625
[Jim] The red, white, and blue
of old glory waiving.

1860
01:28:17,692 --> 01:28:20,228
The flag of the Land of the Rising Sun

1861
01:28:20,295 --> 01:28:23,264
been held by stoic, Mr. Fuji.

1862
01:28:23,998 --> 01:28:28,102
[Bobby] But what I noticed in here,
Hogan's relying on the fans.

1863
01:28:28,169 --> 01:28:31,072
He wants to hear them cheer,
he wants to draw strength from them,

1864
01:28:31,139 --> 01:28:32,974
but Yokozuna is focused,

1865
01:28:33,041 --> 01:28:37,178
he has not taken his eyes,
and Mr. Fuji off Hulk Hogan.

1866
01:28:37,245 --> 01:28:40,148
They are ready.
They are ready, believe me.

1867
01:28:40,214 --> 01:28:43,685
[Jim] Hogan wanted this match,
he wanted it in the Heartland of America.

1868
01:28:43,751 --> 01:28:47,622
He wanted to win this one
for the red, white, and blue, for the USA

1869
01:28:47,689 --> 01:28:51,459
and we're here in Dayton, Ohio,
an all American City,

1870
01:28:51,526 --> 01:28:53,161
and this is going to be something.

1871
01:28:53,227 --> 01:28:56,364
[Randy] Hulk Hogan wanted to prove
that it was not a fluke

1872
01:28:56,431 --> 01:28:58,766
that he beat this guy, Yokozuna.

1873
01:28:58,833 --> 01:29:04,339
And now, we're gonna find out
if it was or if it wasn't, bottom line.

1874
01:29:04,405 --> 01:29:08,710
[Jim] Hogan is lean and mean.
He'll be quicker, as I said,

1875
01:29:08,776 --> 01:29:11,579
and faster than he has ever been.

1876
01:29:11,646 --> 01:29:15,016
His strategy,
I'm sure is very, very exact.

1877
01:29:15,083 --> 01:29:18,119
[audience cheering]

1878
01:29:19,854 --> 01:29:23,057
[Randy] Some people feel
that it was Bret "The Hitman" Hart

1879
01:29:23,124 --> 01:29:25,960
that should've got the rematch
against Hulk Hogan,

1880
01:29:26,027 --> 01:29:28,996
but it was President Jack Tunney's
decision for Hulk Hogan

1881
01:29:29,063 --> 01:29:32,300
to go against Yokozuna,
and I question that.

1882
01:29:33,301 --> 01:29:36,738
[Jim] A lotta people wanted "The Hitman"
to have the opportunity in this matchup.

1883
01:29:36,804 --> 01:29:38,840
As you mentioned, Randy,
as opposed to Yokozuna…

1884
01:29:38,906 --> 01:29:41,376
-[Randy] Exactly.
-[Jim] …not a popular decision indeed,

1885
01:29:41,442 --> 01:29:42,577
but we are here.

1886
01:29:42,643 --> 01:29:47,248
It is time the match, the talking is over.
The pre-match hype has ended.

1887
01:29:47,315 --> 01:29:48,649
[inaudible].

1888
01:29:48,716 --> 01:29:51,486
[Randy] See, a lotta people's
favorite colors in this building

1889
01:29:51,552 --> 01:29:52,720
is yellow and red,

1890
01:29:52,787 --> 01:29:57,258
but, for me, it's the red,
the white, and the blue.

1891
01:29:57,325 --> 01:29:59,393
[Bobby] You know, it's ironic
that Hogan should be wearing yellow…

1892
01:29:59,460 --> 01:30:02,830
[Jim] This is for the World Wrestling
Entertainment Championship.

1893
01:30:04,265 --> 01:30:08,536
-[Randy] What a matchup.
-[Bobby] All the marbles on the line.

1894
01:30:08,603 --> 01:30:13,407
Forget the NBA, forget the NFL,
forget majorly baseball.

1895
01:30:13,474 --> 01:30:15,109
This is it, this is the goal,

1896
01:30:15,176 --> 01:30:17,011
this is where you make the money,
this is it.

1897
01:30:17,078 --> 01:30:19,647
More recognized than anything,
a WWE title.

1898
01:30:19,714 --> 01:30:22,817
[Randy] This is gonna answer
those unanswered questions right now.

1899
01:30:22,884 --> 01:30:26,120
Yokozuna, the mystique of him
is unbelievable.

1900
01:30:26,187 --> 01:30:27,822
Everywhere I go, they talk about him.

1901
01:30:27,889 --> 01:30:29,457
They feel that he should possibly

1902
01:30:29,524 --> 01:30:31,526
be the World Wrestling Entertainment
Champion,

1903
01:30:31,592 --> 01:30:34,462
and I can't deny that
they have substance to that,

1904
01:30:34,529 --> 01:30:36,431
we'll find out right now.

1905
01:30:36,497 --> 01:30:37,698
[audience chattering]

1906
01:30:37,765 --> 01:30:38,966
[Fuji] [inaudible].

1907
01:30:39,033 --> 01:30:41,002
-[Bobby] You know, Hogan's a coward.
-[inaudible].

1908
01:30:41,068 --> 01:30:43,337
This time, he's gonna have
to look at Yokozuna right in the--

1909
01:30:43,404 --> 01:30:45,840
[Jim] Hogan's a cat.
How can you even say that?

1910
01:30:45,907 --> 01:30:47,975
[Bobby]
Because he cheap shot at WrestleMania.

1911
01:30:48,042 --> 01:30:49,844
Now, he's gonna look at him
straight in the eyes,

1912
01:30:49,911 --> 01:30:51,446
let's see what you're made of, Hogan.

1913
01:30:51,512 --> 01:30:54,182
You say your power lies
right here in the palm of your hand,

1914
01:30:54,248 --> 01:30:56,150
it better lie between your ears.

1915
01:30:57,618 --> 01:30:58,853
[Jim] All right.

1916
01:30:58,920 --> 01:31:02,824
You can cut the tension here with a knife
to pull an old cliche.

1917
01:31:02,890 --> 01:31:06,093
[Bobby] Talk about being hot outside,
and it's boiling in here.

1918
01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:10,398
-[grunts]
-[Jim] Caught an elbow tie up.

1919
01:31:10,465 --> 01:31:13,534
[Randy] He put him back
about half an inch.

1920
01:31:13,601 --> 01:31:18,473
-[Bobby] He looks 50 pounds heavier.
-[Randy] Looks a 100 pounds heavier.

1921
01:31:18,539 --> 01:31:20,908
[audience chattering]

1922
01:31:20,975 --> 01:31:22,643
[Jim] Hogan, conferring with his manager--

1923
01:31:22,710 --> 01:31:25,980
[Randy] Why does he have
to confer Jimmy Hart right there?

1924
01:31:26,047 --> 01:31:28,683
[Bobby] It's psychology,
he's trying to throw Yokozuna off.

1925
01:31:28,749 --> 01:31:29,750
[inaudible].

1926
01:31:30,818 --> 01:31:32,286
[Bobby]
Look at all the Japanese photographers.

1927
01:31:32,353 --> 01:31:34,255
The last time
I saw these many Japanese people

1928
01:31:34,322 --> 01:31:35,656
is at Benihana's.

1929
01:31:35,723 --> 01:31:39,360
[Randy] Yokozuna looks like he weighs
about four times as much as Hulk Hogan.

1930
01:31:39,427 --> 01:31:41,596
[Jim] Caught an elbow tie up,
and neither men moving.

1931
01:31:41,662 --> 01:31:46,567
And Yokozuna shows his superior bulk
and strength by putting Hogan down.

1932
01:31:46,634 --> 01:31:48,369
[Randy] Hogan looks shocked.

1933
01:31:49,370 --> 01:31:50,905
[Bobby] Every time he throws Hogan down,

1934
01:31:50,972 --> 01:31:52,974
he thinks he's throwing America
to the ground.

1935
01:31:53,040 --> 01:31:55,643
[Randy] A lotta pressure on Hulk Hogan
right now.

1936
01:31:55,710 --> 01:31:57,912
-[Jim] Boy, is there ever.
-[Bobby] See, Hogan's a dummy though.

1937
01:31:57,979 --> 01:32:00,248
Hogan will go out
and try to beat Yokozuna.

1938
01:32:00,314 --> 01:32:02,016
He doesn't have to beat Yokozuna.

1939
01:32:02,083 --> 01:32:04,485
Yokozuna has to beat him
to become the champion.

1940
01:32:04,552 --> 01:32:06,521
[Jim] Tremendous chop
to the back of the head by Yokozuna,

1941
01:32:06,587 --> 01:32:09,590
those martial arts chops find their mark
and they take…

1942
01:32:09,657 --> 01:32:11,592
Oh, wow, what a chop there.

1943
01:32:11,659 --> 01:32:16,631
And it's take their toll
on the five-time WWE Champion.

1944
01:32:16,697 --> 01:32:19,634
[Randy] For the World Wrestling
Entertainment Championship belt,

1945
01:32:19,700 --> 01:32:21,235
Yokozuna versus Hulk Hogan.

1946
01:32:21,302 --> 01:32:24,038
[Bobby] You know, what it's about, Savage,
you held the belt twice.

1947
01:32:24,872 --> 01:32:26,107
-Not easy.
-[Randy] …exact same thing.

1948
01:32:26,173 --> 01:32:27,775
That's exactly right.

1949
01:32:27,842 --> 01:32:30,044
Yokozuna's the former
World Wrestling Entertainment Champion,

1950
01:32:30,111 --> 01:32:33,514
the shortest reign ever, seconds.

1951
01:32:34,649 --> 01:32:37,151
[Jim] Yokozuna
with the methodical approach

1952
01:32:37,218 --> 01:32:40,521
and a karate thrust
right to throat of the champion.

1953
01:32:40,588 --> 01:32:42,823
[Bobby] I'll tell you why Yokozuna's
gonna win this one.

1954
01:32:42,890 --> 01:32:44,091
-[Randy] Why is that?
-[Bobby] There's no way,

1955
01:32:44,158 --> 01:32:49,530
Mr. Fuji, and Yokozuna
can go back to the orient and lose face.

1956
01:32:49,597 --> 01:32:51,332
They've got to win this one.

1957
01:32:51,399 --> 01:32:53,901
[Jim] Cutting blow, big overhand forearm

1958
01:32:53,968 --> 01:32:58,005
from the 550 pound challenger.

1959
01:32:59,874 --> 01:33:03,978
[Jim] Yokozuna slams Hogan violently,

1960
01:33:04,045 --> 01:33:07,081
and I must add, easily,
he got enough, Randy Savage.

1961
01:33:07,148 --> 01:33:10,518
And I wonder if Hogan,
if anybody can slam, as you mentioned,

1962
01:33:10,585 --> 01:33:12,587
-Yokozuna, can it be Hulk Hogan?
-[Fuji] Very good.

1963
01:33:12,653 --> 01:33:16,290
[Randy] If anybody can, Hulk Hogan can,
I'll guarantee you that.

1964
01:33:16,357 --> 01:33:17,725
He won't only do it for Hulk Hogan,

1965
01:33:17,792 --> 01:33:19,427
he'll do it for the red, the white,
and the blue,

1966
01:33:19,493 --> 01:33:22,863
and we're not just talking body slamming,
we're talking the belt.

1967
01:33:22,930 --> 01:33:27,234
[Bobby] I'll make it very simple,
Triple H couldn't even pick up Yokozuna.

1968
01:33:27,935 --> 01:33:28,936
[grunts]

1969
01:33:29,003 --> 01:33:30,671
[Jim] Straight karate thrust.

1970
01:33:30,738 --> 01:33:33,307
[Bobby] Mr. Fuji told me
just about an hour ago in the back,

1971
01:33:33,374 --> 01:33:37,678
he says, Mr. Heenan-San,
Yokozuna will be WWE Champion

1972
01:33:37,745 --> 01:33:42,750
and hold the title and retire longer than
any champion in the history of the WWE.

1973
01:33:42,817 --> 01:33:45,553
[Randy] You wouldn't say anything,
but you got to prove it.

1974
01:33:45,620 --> 01:33:47,722
[Bobby] Well, Hogan's down,
he's begging him for,

1975
01:33:47,788 --> 01:33:50,157
to take or leave him alone right now.

1976
01:33:50,224 --> 01:33:53,728
-And Yokozuna's the one standing.
-[Randy] Hogan doesn't beg at anybody.

1977
01:33:53,794 --> 01:33:56,230
[Bobby]
Well, he's pleading then, I'm sorry.

1978
01:33:56,297 --> 01:34:00,034
[Jim] Violent whip to the far side,
Hogan in trouble here.

1979
01:34:00,101 --> 01:34:02,303
Yokozuna, in a very methodically,

1980
01:34:02,370 --> 01:34:04,672
very deliberate pace with nothing
but power.

1981
01:34:04,739 --> 01:34:08,209
Another whip to the near side going left
to right on your television screens.

1982
01:34:08,275 --> 01:34:12,046
-[Randy] Uh-oh, this could be an early…
-[Jim] Put it over, put it all out there.

1983
01:34:12,113 --> 01:34:14,882
Hogan able to quickly move outta the way.

1984
01:34:15,349 --> 01:34:17,251
Hogan, straight right hand,

1985
01:34:17,318 --> 01:34:21,756
Hogan rocking the challenger
for the WWE title,

1986
01:34:21,822 --> 01:34:23,257
but he can't knock him down.

1987
01:34:23,324 --> 01:34:25,826
[Randy] I wonder if he'll try to slam him.

1988
01:34:25,893 --> 01:34:28,996
[Bobby] George foreman could punch
like that, he'd have won the fight.

1989
01:34:29,063 --> 01:34:30,564
[Randy]
Yokozuna might go through the ring.

1990
01:34:30,631 --> 01:34:33,634
These people would pop,
I'll guarantee you that, so would I.

1991
01:34:33,701 --> 01:34:34,969
[audience cheering]

1992
01:34:35,036 --> 01:34:38,539
[Jim] Hogan with right hands
as he's on the second rope.

1993
01:34:38,606 --> 01:34:42,543
-Hogan is biting Yokozuna.
-[Bobby] Go ahead.

1994
01:34:42,610 --> 01:34:45,046
[Randy] Everybody's resorting
to everything tonight.

1995
01:34:46,080 --> 01:34:48,449
[Jim] Hogan irate.
Can he whip him? Yes, he did.

1996
01:34:48,516 --> 01:34:50,584
Oh, it moved the ring.

1997
01:34:50,651 --> 01:34:53,054
He followed it up with a clothesline…

1998
01:34:54,121 --> 01:34:56,957
and bounced off of Yokozuna.

1999
01:34:57,024 --> 01:34:58,959
-Hogan, here we go.
-[Randy] Can he do it?

2000
01:34:59,026 --> 01:35:01,595
-[Jim] Hogan's trying to slam him.
-[Randy] He couldn't get him.

2001
01:35:01,662 --> 01:35:02,697
[Jim] He couldn't get him up.

2002
01:35:02,763 --> 01:35:06,801
And Yokozuna clipped Hogan
in the lower back with those huge arms.

2003
01:35:06,867 --> 01:35:08,335
[Randy] He had time
to slam him right there.

2004
01:35:08,402 --> 01:35:10,771
He couldn't get him. I can't believe it.

2005
01:35:10,838 --> 01:35:13,607
[Bobby] Does anybody have any of those
little bottles of Doan's back pills?

2006
01:35:13,674 --> 01:35:15,276
I think Hogan needs them right now.

2007
01:35:15,342 --> 01:35:17,311
That did more harm than good,
I guarantee you,

2008
01:35:17,378 --> 01:35:19,380
but I'll tell you what,
the possess factor was there.

2009
01:35:19,447 --> 01:35:22,183
He wanted to do it for his Hulkamaniacs,
but he couldn't do it.

2010
01:35:22,249 --> 01:35:24,485
[Bobby] Do it for yourself,
do it for your bank account,

2011
01:35:24,552 --> 01:35:26,287
forget the little punk Hulkamaniacs.

2012
01:35:26,353 --> 01:35:29,690
[Jim] Irish Whips in the ropes far side.
Yokozuna missed a clothesline.

2013
01:35:29,757 --> 01:35:33,794
Hogan quickly turns and comes back
with all-American right hands and Hogan,

2014
01:35:33,861 --> 01:35:36,197
right Yokozuna's eyes,
a kick to the midsection.

2015
01:35:36,263 --> 01:35:39,467
-[Bobby] Here we go.
-[Jim] Trying to get up on one leg.

2016
01:35:39,533 --> 01:35:41,335
Hogan said he was gonna slam him,

2017
01:35:41,402 --> 01:35:44,205
but thus far, he got him up on one leg,
Yokozuna, blocked it again.

2018
01:35:44,271 --> 01:35:46,107
[Randy] He's actually had
three tries right there,

2019
01:35:46,173 --> 01:35:48,776
and the best he can do
was get his left leg up in the air.

2020
01:35:48,843 --> 01:35:52,113
I'm really watching that carefully.
I got it under the microscope.

2021
01:35:52,179 --> 01:35:55,449
[Bobby] I'll tell you one thing,
Hogan's a lot quicker than Yokozuna,

2022
01:35:55,516 --> 01:35:59,487
but he's not as strong as Yokozuna.
You can tell that.

2023
01:35:59,553 --> 01:36:02,623
[Randy] Not very many people are,
you know.

2024
01:36:02,690 --> 01:36:04,325
[Bobby] Thank you very much, Savage.

2025
01:36:04,391 --> 01:36:06,527
[Jim] That tremendous bulk
that Yokozuna possesses,

2026
01:36:06,594 --> 01:36:09,530
he's very hard
to physically move around the ring

2027
01:36:09,597 --> 01:36:13,234
to upset his balance points.

2028
01:36:13,300 --> 01:36:18,672
And again, Yokozuna,
almost in a scary methodical…

2029
01:36:18,739 --> 01:36:22,710
-It was a [inaudible] situation.
-…come on.

2030
01:36:22,777 --> 01:36:24,445
[Jim] Irish Whip, coming right at us here.

2031
01:36:24,512 --> 01:36:27,982
He missed that clothesline.
He missed with the elbow there.

2032
01:36:28,048 --> 01:36:31,719
And Hogan's caught him with a clothesline,
he rocked the big man,

2033
01:36:31,786 --> 01:36:34,855
he's got him rocked,
and again, Yokozuna staggers.

2034
01:36:34,922 --> 01:36:36,857
[Randy] One more of those,
he could go down.

2035
01:36:36,924 --> 01:36:39,660
[Jim] Hogan comes off the ropes,
and Yokozuna countered it,

2036
01:36:39,727 --> 01:36:42,530
and he nailed Hogan,
and he puts the champion down.

2037
01:36:42,596 --> 01:36:44,398
[Bobby] See, Yokozuna uses his size…

2038
01:36:44,465 --> 01:36:46,600
-[speaking Japanese]
-…and strength to his advantage.

2039
01:36:46,667 --> 01:36:48,736
-[speaking Japanese]
-[Bobby] Obviously, he's standing

2040
01:36:48,803 --> 01:36:51,772
and the Hulkster is kissing mat.

2041
01:36:51,839 --> 01:36:54,608
[Jim] Yokozuna [inaudible].

2042
01:36:54,675 --> 01:36:56,811
And Hogan saving his title,

2043
01:36:56,877 --> 01:36:58,946
you're gonna think
by moving outta the way,

2044
01:36:59,013 --> 01:37:03,350
that's 550 pounds coming down at you.

2045
01:37:03,417 --> 01:37:07,188
[Randy] Hogan's got Yokozuna off his feet.
Right now, we're even up.

2046
01:37:07,254 --> 01:37:11,025
Let's see if the cream rises
to the top for which guy.

2047
01:37:11,859 --> 01:37:14,228
[Jim] Jimmy Hart,
telling Hogan, you can do it,

2048
01:37:14,295 --> 01:37:17,331
trying to give him some encouragement.

2049
01:37:17,398 --> 01:37:20,568
It's amazing, the Hulk Hogan
taking that punishment

2050
01:37:20,634 --> 01:37:23,337
and these people here
in the Nutter Center.

2051
01:37:23,404 --> 01:37:25,873
[Bobby] I'm sure Jimmy Hart
doesn't wanna lose his meal ticket.

2052
01:37:25,940 --> 01:37:29,410
Helping Hogan,
he mostly get back to his feet.

2053
01:37:30,511 --> 01:37:34,782
Hogan staggers mid tackle, and he ran…
It's like running right into a tree.

2054
01:37:34,849 --> 01:37:38,018
[Bobby] Did not move Yokozuna.
It's like running into Mount Fuji.

2055
01:37:38,085 --> 01:37:41,889
[Randy] Hulk Hogan at the moment,
and he went down, unbelievable.

2056
01:37:41,956 --> 01:37:43,691
You're talking about
knocking down a big man,

2057
01:37:43,757 --> 01:37:45,059
Hulk Hogan is a big man.

2058
01:37:45,125 --> 01:37:47,595
[Bobby] Somebody told me once,
when you run into Yokozuna,

2059
01:37:47,661 --> 01:37:50,698
-it feels like he's running into you.
-[Randy] Uh-oh, watch this.

2060
01:37:50,764 --> 01:37:55,903
[Jim] Bear-hug, a very painful,
a very basic maneuver.

2061
01:37:55,970 --> 01:37:58,439
[Bobby] And remember,
Hogan trimmed down for this match,

2062
01:37:58,505 --> 01:38:01,575
so Yokozuna can really wrap his arms
around him

2063
01:38:01,642 --> 01:38:04,478
and make a breakfast cereal
outta his ribs.

2064
01:38:04,545 --> 01:38:06,046
[Randy] Snap, Crackle and Pop.

2065
01:38:06,113 --> 01:38:08,883
We'll find out if being lean and mean
is a mistake for Hulk Hogan

2066
01:38:08,949 --> 01:38:10,517
or if he should have went the other way.

2067
01:38:10,584 --> 01:38:13,520
Right now, I think, he looks pretty good,
but he's in a bad spot right now.

2068
01:38:13,587 --> 01:38:15,356
[Bobby] In a very bad situation.

2069
01:38:15,422 --> 01:38:17,024
[Jim] Yokozuna, bear hug,

2070
01:38:17,091 --> 01:38:20,227
those huge arms wrapped
around the lower back of Hulk Hogan,

2071
01:38:20,294 --> 01:38:23,764
squeezing and squeezing with all he has.

2072
01:38:23,831 --> 01:38:25,933
[Randy] So far the managers
in the outside of the ring

2073
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:29,503
have been a non-factor,
and that's the way it should be.

2074
01:38:29,570 --> 01:38:33,274
[Bobby] Well, a good manager right now
would turn the referee around

2075
01:38:33,340 --> 01:38:36,610
and have a conversation with him
while Hogan jams a thumb in his eye,

2076
01:38:36,677 --> 01:38:39,079
-but now, he's above that, right?
-[Randy] Wrong.

2077
01:38:39,146 --> 01:38:42,216
He already put a thumb in his eye
earlier in the match, Heenan.

2078
01:38:42,283 --> 01:38:46,020
[Jim] Hogan's got to counter someway,
somehow he has to counter,

2079
01:38:46,086 --> 01:38:48,756
he's trying to get his arms
inside the arms of Yokozuna,

2080
01:38:48,822 --> 01:38:50,925
but if he does, what's he gonna do then?

2081
01:38:50,991 --> 01:38:52,760
Does he have enough strength
and power left

2082
01:38:52,826 --> 01:38:54,094
to get the big man off his feet?

2083
01:38:54,161 --> 01:38:56,997
[Bobby] And look at Fuji's
waving the all rising sun,

2084
01:38:57,064 --> 01:39:00,501
he's waving that flag,
he's giving power to Yokozuna.

2085
01:39:00,567 --> 01:39:02,870
[Randy] At least Hulk Hogan
got to turn quarter way around,

2086
01:39:02,937 --> 01:39:04,605
but I don't know
if that did him any good or not.

2087
01:39:04,672 --> 01:39:07,942
[Bobby] It won't. That is worse,
that's when you can crack the ribs.

2088
01:39:08,008 --> 01:39:09,376
[inaudible].

2089
01:39:09,443 --> 01:39:11,979
-[Randy] Might have made a mistake.
-[Bobby] When Yokozuna snaps that bear hug

2090
01:39:12,046 --> 01:39:14,581
and the best to do
is try to get one arm in it,

2091
01:39:14,648 --> 01:39:17,818
so you got some breathing room.
He's in a very bad predicament now.

2092
01:39:17,885 --> 01:39:20,020
-[audience cheering]
-[Randy] Listen to these people, rumble.

2093
01:39:20,087 --> 01:39:23,457
[Jim] They're rumbling, USA, USA.

2094
01:39:23,524 --> 01:39:25,759
Can they put some life back into Hogan,

2095
01:39:25,826 --> 01:39:29,697
can they get help the Hulkster
get outta this predicament that he is in.

2096
01:39:29,763 --> 01:39:33,133
[Randy] It's the Heartbeat of America,
you're listening to it,

2097
01:39:33,200 --> 01:39:36,070
and it's staying red, white,
and blue in Dayton, Ohio.

2098
01:39:36,136 --> 01:39:38,872
This is where Hulk Hogan
wanted to go against Yokozuna.

2099
01:39:38,939 --> 01:39:41,709
He's got it. Now, let's get the job done.

2100
01:39:41,775 --> 01:39:43,644
[Bobby] This should have been held
on neutral grounds,

2101
01:39:43,711 --> 01:39:47,681
some place like Yokohama, Osaka,
something like that…

2102
01:39:47,748 --> 01:39:48,749
-[Bobby] Polynesian Islands.
-[Jim] You got to believe

2103
01:39:48,816 --> 01:39:50,918
that in living rooms all over America,

2104
01:39:50,985 --> 01:39:53,587
all over the world,
that's watching on pay-per-view

2105
01:39:53,654 --> 01:39:56,957
are standing behind Hulk Hogan, and Hogan…

2106
01:39:57,024 --> 01:39:59,059
-[Randy] Still in there.
-[Jim] …he is still fighting.

2107
01:39:59,126 --> 01:40:02,296
Straight right hand
right to the face of Yokozuna.

2108
01:40:02,363 --> 01:40:03,897
He's gonna cause some separation.

2109
01:40:03,964 --> 01:40:05,733
-He almost has it.
-[audience] Six, seven.

2110
01:40:05,799 --> 01:40:08,335
[Bobby] I'm surprised Hogan
is still there back and punching

2111
01:40:08,402 --> 01:40:10,437
after being in that bear hug.

2112
01:40:10,504 --> 01:40:14,108
-Uh-oh, he's hurt, he's hurt.
-[Jim] Hogan's back is injured.

2113
01:40:14,174 --> 01:40:17,544
His lower back
is got to really be hurting now.

2114
01:40:17,611 --> 01:40:19,646
[Randy] I tell you what, I can't believe
he got under the bear hug.

2115
01:40:19,713 --> 01:40:22,316
[Jim] Oh, elbow right to the face.

2116
01:40:22,383 --> 01:40:26,620
Again, the mass and the bulk
of the 550 pound challenger

2117
01:40:26,687 --> 01:40:28,155
puts Hulk Hogan down.

2118
01:40:28,222 --> 01:40:31,258
[Randy] I'd like to see Hulk Hogan
just get some breathing air right now

2119
01:40:31,325 --> 01:40:36,196
and level it out one more time
against Yokozuna.

2120
01:40:36,263 --> 01:40:39,032
I hate to see this momentum stay this way.

2121
01:40:39,099 --> 01:40:39,967
[Bobby] Look at this.

2122
01:40:40,034 --> 01:40:43,370
[Jim] Yokozuna,
oh, no, belly to belly suplex.

2123
01:40:43,437 --> 01:40:45,506
[Randy] That's it.
That might be it, and it's over.

2124
01:40:45,572 --> 01:40:49,076
-The fat lady's gonna sing.
-[Randy] I've been in that.

2125
01:40:49,143 --> 01:40:53,447
[Jim] Hulkamania nearly over up there.
Lateral press… Oh, Hogan's out.

2126
01:40:53,514 --> 01:40:57,017
-[Randy] He kicked out with authority.
-[audience cheering]

2127
01:40:57,084 --> 01:41:00,187
-[Jim] Hogan's [inaudible].
-[Bobby] Fuji cannot believe it.

2128
01:41:01,021 --> 01:41:04,058
-[Jim] [inaudible] The Hulkster.
-[Randy] He hulked up.

2129
01:41:05,259 --> 01:41:08,362
[Jim] The Hulkster back on his knees.

2130
01:41:08,429 --> 01:41:09,563
[audience cheering]

2131
01:41:09,630 --> 01:41:12,900
[Randy] It's the power of Hulkamania,
can you feel it?

2132
01:41:12,966 --> 01:41:14,902
[Bobby]
Don't let the United States of America,

2133
01:41:14,968 --> 01:41:16,403
don't let Dayton, Ohio,

2134
01:41:16,470 --> 01:41:20,741
and don't let the Hulkster intimidate you.
Stay on it, Yokozuna.

2135
01:41:20,808 --> 01:41:23,777
[Randy] Say goodbye to Yokozuna, Heenan.

2136
01:41:24,344 --> 01:41:27,981
[Jim] Hulkamania is alive and well
in Dayton, Ohio.

2137
01:41:28,048 --> 01:41:31,151
-The Hulkster is up and ready to fight.
-[Bobby] Whoa.

2138
01:41:31,218 --> 01:41:33,120
[Randy] Look at those eyes.

2139
01:41:33,187 --> 01:41:36,056
[Jim] Mid right hand, Hogan reaching down

2140
01:41:36,123 --> 01:41:40,127
and he's gonna reach down further
that he's never reached before.

2141
01:41:40,727 --> 01:41:42,129
-A big--
-[Bobby] Oh.

2142
01:41:42,196 --> 01:41:45,632
[Jim] Kicked him right to the face,
but Yokozuna did not go down.

2143
01:41:45,699 --> 01:41:50,204
-He was rocked, but he didn't go down.
-[Randy] Give him another one.

2144
01:41:52,139 --> 01:41:53,941
[Jim] Another one, another kick,

2145
01:41:54,007 --> 01:41:57,211
and again, the challenger,
he does not go down.

2146
01:41:57,277 --> 01:41:58,879
[Randy] I can't believe it.

2147
01:41:58,946 --> 01:42:01,748
-[Bobby] Two kicks in the face…
-[Randy] Look at Hogan's face.

2148
01:42:01,815 --> 01:42:04,451
Look at Hogan's face right now,
he can't believe it either.

2149
01:42:04,518 --> 01:42:05,919
[Bobby] Him, not going down,

2150
01:42:05,986 --> 01:42:09,323
I believe that it's taking the fight
and the adrenaline outta Hulk Hogan.

2151
01:42:09,389 --> 01:42:12,593
[Randy] Not yet, Heenan. Give him another.

2152
01:42:12,659 --> 01:42:16,296
-[Jim] Three big kicks right to the face.
-[Bobby] He's up, he's down, yeah.

2153
01:42:16,363 --> 01:42:19,833
-[Jim] He falls.
-[Randy] Say goodnight to Yokozuna.

2154
01:42:21,335 --> 01:42:25,439
[Jim] Hogan, and here comes the leg drop.
You can't get out of this.

2155
01:42:25,506 --> 01:42:27,674
[Jim] One, two… Oh, my God.

2156
01:42:27,741 --> 01:42:30,110
-[Bobby] I can't believe it.
-[Randy] Yokozuna kicked out with his leg.

2157
01:42:30,177 --> 01:42:32,012
-[Bobby] Nobody gets up the mat.
-[Jim] Hogan can't believe it.

2158
01:42:32,079 --> 01:42:35,883
And Fuji's knocked off the apron.
Yokozuna kicked outta Hogan's leg drop.

2159
01:42:35,949 --> 01:42:41,955
[Randy] I can't believe it.
Never before has anybody done that.

2160
01:42:42,022 --> 01:42:46,660
[Jim] Hogan, and a photographer,
they had to get that photographer down.

2161
01:42:47,694 --> 01:42:50,831
He shouldn't be up on the apron,
it's a dangerous place to be.

2162
01:42:50,898 --> 01:42:52,399
-[Bobby] His pictures are so…
-[Jim] Oh, my God.

2163
01:42:52,466 --> 01:42:54,668
-[Bobby] What was that?
-[Jim] His camera exploded

2164
01:42:54,735 --> 01:42:56,637
right on Hogan's face.

2165
01:42:56,703 --> 01:43:02,009
His camera exploded in Hogan's face.
Yokozuna drops a leg on Hogan.

2166
01:43:02,075 --> 01:43:05,345
-Yokozuna, hooking the leg up, Yokozuna…
-[Bobby] One, two, three.

2167
01:43:05,412 --> 01:43:06,680
-We got a new champion.
-[bell ringing]

2168
01:43:06,747 --> 01:43:09,316
-We got a new champion.
-[Randy] What the hell happened?

2169
01:43:09,383 --> 01:43:13,187
-[mellow music playing]
-[Bobby] Obviously, his camera exploded.

2170
01:43:15,989 --> 01:43:17,090
[Jim] Ladies and gentlemen,

2171
01:43:17,157 --> 01:43:21,161
let's go to Howard Finkel
for the official decision.

2172
01:43:21,228 --> 01:43:22,829
[Howard] The winner of this match…

2173
01:43:23,697 --> 01:43:29,369
and new World Wrestling Entertainment
Champion,

2174
01:43:29,436 --> 01:43:32,973
Yokozuna.

2175
01:43:33,040 --> 01:43:34,241
[mellow music playing]

2176
01:43:34,308 --> 01:43:38,011
[Bobby] Boy, the headlines
in the papers in Japan

2177
01:43:38,078 --> 01:43:39,846
are gonna be full of pictures of Yokozuna.

2178
01:43:39,913 --> 01:43:42,482
[Jim] Hogan's sight…
Hogan's eyes had this…

2179
01:43:42,549 --> 01:43:45,352
Hogan's sight have been impaired
from that explosion.

2180
01:43:45,419 --> 01:43:47,054
Oh, no.

2181
01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:49,423
[Randy] I can't call what happened
because I don't know.

2182
01:43:49,489 --> 01:43:52,392
[Bobby] It's obvious to me
that the bright lights

2183
01:43:52,459 --> 01:43:54,528
of the World Wrestling Entertainment

2184
01:43:54,595 --> 01:43:58,398
once again are too much for the Hulkster.

2185
01:43:58,966 --> 01:44:02,336
[Jim] Yokozuna has defeated Hulk Hogan

2186
01:44:02,402 --> 01:44:05,572
to win the WWE Championship.

2187
01:44:06,306 --> 01:44:09,476
Hogan, I'm not…
Hogan, I don't think he can even see.

2188
01:44:10,277 --> 01:44:12,613
[Bobby] Hogan doesn't know where he's at,
he's blind.

2189
01:44:13,313 --> 01:44:14,414
Oh, I know what he's gonna do.

2190
01:44:14,481 --> 01:44:17,484
[Randy] Yokozuna wants to add insult
to injury.

2191
01:44:17,551 --> 01:44:18,986
[Jim] He wants to end Hogan's career
once and for all--

2192
01:44:19,052 --> 01:44:22,055
[Randy] He wants to kill Hulkamania.

2193
01:44:22,122 --> 01:44:25,792
-He wants to kill Hulkamania.
-[Bobby] Banzai, here we go.

2194
01:44:25,859 --> 01:44:31,498
[Jim] Fuji, instructing Yokozuna
to go on top. Hogan is helpless.

2195
01:44:31,565 --> 01:44:32,733
[speaking Japanese]

2196
01:44:32,799 --> 01:44:35,669
[Jim] He's gonna squash Hulkamania.

2197
01:44:35,736 --> 01:44:36,837
[inaudible].

2198
01:44:36,903 --> 01:44:42,342
-[Jim] Yokozuna has squashed Hulkamania.
-[Bobby] Hulkamania is dead.

2199
01:44:43,443 --> 01:44:46,813
[Randy] He's squashing the American dream
right there.

2200
01:44:46,880 --> 01:44:48,248
[inaudible].

2201
01:44:48,315 --> 01:44:50,050
[Bobby] Boy, look at these kids
here in their seats.

2202
01:44:50,117 --> 01:44:52,386
-[Jim] Oh, no.
-[Bobby] They're crying.

2203
01:44:52,452 --> 01:44:56,390
[inaudible] Those children are crying,
this is an emotional moment,

2204
01:44:56,456 --> 01:44:58,759
but right now, you've got to think,

2205
01:44:58,825 --> 01:45:02,095
you got to hope
that Hogan's sight has not been permanent.

2206
01:45:02,162 --> 01:45:03,764
That youngster right there,

2207
01:45:03,830 --> 01:45:08,235
you got to know what he is so heart broken
that the Hulkster…

2208
01:45:08,302 --> 01:45:10,003
[Bobby] We're in the Heartland, right?

2209
01:45:10,070 --> 01:45:12,806
I believe the Heartland
and the Heart of America,

2210
01:45:12,873 --> 01:45:15,909
Hulk Hogan's heart
has just stopped beating,

2211
01:45:15,976 --> 01:45:19,780
the blood quit flowing.
Hulk Hogan is finished.

2212
01:45:19,846 --> 01:45:22,482
[audience chattering]

2213
01:45:22,549 --> 01:45:25,018
[Jim] Here's another look.
Here's what happened.

2214
01:45:25,085 --> 01:45:26,186
[Randy] Look at this photographer.

2215
01:45:26,253 --> 01:45:29,022
Let's see if that camera exploded
or what happened.

2216
01:45:29,856 --> 01:45:33,460
[Jim] And it caught him right in his eye.

2217
01:45:33,527 --> 01:45:36,630
That flash, that explosive caught Hogan
right into his eye

2218
01:45:36,697 --> 01:45:39,633
and Yokozuna dropped 550 pounds.

2219
01:45:39,700 --> 01:45:42,969
Hogan's own maneuver right across,
and there you're seeing,

2220
01:45:43,036 --> 01:45:45,372
the new World Wrestling Entertainment
Champion.

2221
01:45:45,439 --> 01:45:48,909
[Randy] But also remember that Yokozuna
kicked out at the big leg,

2222
01:45:48,975 --> 01:45:52,012
I can't believe it that
he kicked out on Hulk Hogan's leg.

2223
01:45:52,079 --> 01:45:56,416
[Bobby] And Hogan could not slam Yokozuna.

2224
01:45:56,483 --> 01:45:58,352
[Randy] He didn't slam Yokozuna,

2225
01:45:58,418 --> 01:46:01,221
and he lost the World Wrestling
Entertainment Championship belt

2226
01:46:01,288 --> 01:46:04,291
to him. I cannot believe what I have seen.

2227
01:46:04,357 --> 01:46:09,730
[Jim] Has Yokozuna killed Hulkamania,
has Yokozuna ended Hulkamania?

2228
01:46:09,796 --> 01:46:12,232
[Bobby] Here's the photographers
pouring into the ring.

2229
01:46:12,299 --> 01:46:14,968
Yokozuna obviously to me is a grand,

2230
01:46:15,035 --> 01:46:19,239
and he's gonna be a national champion
in the, in Japan.

2231
01:46:20,440 --> 01:46:23,744
[Jim] You can better believe
that this would be the front page

2232
01:46:23,810 --> 01:46:27,581
of every major newspaper
in the orient within 24 hours.

2233
01:46:27,647 --> 01:46:30,817
[Bobby] He'll be on the front page
of every newspaper across the world,

2234
01:46:30,884 --> 01:46:31,852
I predict that.

2235
01:46:32,419 --> 01:46:35,856
This is not an upset to me,
it may be to the humanoids.

2236
01:46:35,922 --> 01:46:37,290
I know Yokozuna could do it.

2237
01:46:37,357 --> 01:46:41,128
Mr. Fuji, I got to take my hat off to you,
you did it.

2238
01:46:41,194 --> 01:46:44,097
[Randy] What a night this has been.
Look at him, he just threw

2239
01:46:44,164 --> 01:46:46,633
the World Wrestling Entertainment
Championship belt down.

2240
01:46:46,700 --> 01:46:48,268
[Bobby] And it's not over yet.

2241
01:46:49,002 --> 01:46:50,837
[Jim] Oh, what a situation.

2242
01:46:50,904 --> 01:46:52,606
-[Randy] Look at this guy.
-[Jim] There's the champion.

2243
01:46:52,672 --> 01:46:55,142
[Randy] He's done
what no other guy could've done.

2244
01:46:55,208 --> 01:46:59,212
[audience chattering]

2245
01:46:59,279 --> 01:47:02,249
[Jim] Let's go now backstage
to Terry Tate.

2246
01:47:02,315 --> 01:47:05,852
Mr. Perfect, can we have a word
for the people of coliseum video?

2247
01:47:05,919 --> 01:47:07,020
I know you're disappointed.

2248
01:47:07,087 --> 01:47:09,523
It was a great, great match,
it's too bad there had to be a loser.

2249
01:47:09,589 --> 01:47:11,458
How do you feel, King of the Ring
and Bret Hart getting the--

2250
01:47:11,525 --> 01:47:13,093
What do you mean how do I feel?

2251
01:47:13,160 --> 01:47:16,530
I don't feel like a million dollars
after just getting defeated.

2252
01:47:16,596 --> 01:47:20,700
Bret Hart's a great wrestler.
I've had many match with him in the past.

2253
01:47:20,767 --> 01:47:22,736
I injured my back,
and my fingers a little bit,

2254
01:47:22,803 --> 01:47:25,405
and I'm sure Bret Hart's
not feeling too good either,

2255
01:47:25,472 --> 01:47:27,841
but to tell you the truth,
I just do not talk about it,

2256
01:47:27,908 --> 01:47:30,610
coliseum video or not,
I'm outta here, Mr. Perfect,

2257
01:47:30,677 --> 01:47:34,181
you keep your open on Mr. Perfect.
I'll show you what Perfect's all about.

2258
01:47:34,247 --> 01:47:36,550
-Leave me alone.
-Can't hardly blame him.

2259
01:47:36,616 --> 01:47:40,220
Great match, he came up short.
Let's throw it back to the ring right now.

2260
01:47:40,687 --> 01:47:42,389
[Gene] All right.
The great city of Detroit

2261
01:47:42,456 --> 01:47:45,492
has always embraced
the World Wrestling Entertainment,

2262
01:47:45,559 --> 01:47:49,763
first of all, at WrestleMania III
back in 1987,

2263
01:47:49,830 --> 01:47:52,632
and later on,
for the Survivor Seriesat 1991.

2264
01:47:52,699 --> 01:47:57,204
I cannot believe, ladies and gentlemen,
what we have just seen,

2265
01:47:57,270 --> 01:48:00,941
but I believe it's official, get with it,
has been confirmed,

2266
01:48:01,007 --> 01:48:04,177
there is a new
World Wrestling Entertainment Champion,

2267
01:48:04,244 --> 01:48:06,446
and he is Yokozuna.

2268
01:48:06,513 --> 01:48:11,051
More on the condition of Hulk Hogan
as soon any details are available.

2269
01:48:11,117 --> 01:48:13,153
With me, right now, speaking of champions,

2270
01:48:13,220 --> 01:48:15,722
the Intercontinental Champion,
Shawn Michaels.

2271
01:48:15,789 --> 01:48:19,359
You have a title defense
against the big man from Hawaii, Crush,

2272
01:48:19,426 --> 01:48:23,129
I'm very interested
after the night has gone the way it has

2273
01:48:23,196 --> 01:48:26,533
whether you believe, lightning
could strike twice in the same building

2274
01:48:26,600 --> 01:48:28,468
here at the Nutter Center
in the Heart of America.

2275
01:48:28,535 --> 01:48:31,938
Oh, I think we can agree
that lightning definitely struck once,

2276
01:48:32,005 --> 01:48:33,540
I mean, it struck Hulk Hogan,

2277
01:48:33,607 --> 01:48:36,243
but that kinda stuff
doesn't affect Shawn Michaels.

2278
01:48:36,309 --> 01:48:39,546
I mean, I think we can agree
that Hulk Hogan

2279
01:48:39,613 --> 01:48:43,383
is not the caliber of superstar
that Shawn Michaels is.

2280
01:48:43,450 --> 01:48:46,253
I mean, come on, the guy is a dinosaur

2281
01:48:46,319 --> 01:48:50,423
and Yokozuna gobbled him up
like a big old brontosaurus burger.

2282
01:48:50,490 --> 01:48:51,324
[Shawn laughs]

2283
01:48:51,391 --> 01:48:53,860
You've been watching too much
of that Jurassic park.

2284
01:48:53,927 --> 01:48:56,863
Now, Shawn Michaels, I'm very curious.

2285
01:48:56,930 --> 01:49:01,535
We saw this man appear outta nowhere,
outta left field in Albany, New York,

2286
01:49:01,601 --> 01:49:04,237
when you recaptured
the Intercontinental title,

2287
01:49:04,304 --> 01:49:08,275
this so-called bodyguard,
this insurance policy, what's his name?

2288
01:49:08,341 --> 01:49:10,243
What's his name?
His name is my Insurance Policy.

2289
01:49:10,310 --> 01:49:12,379
-That's what it is.
-He's got to have a name. Does he talk?

2290
01:49:12,445 --> 01:49:14,981
No, I do the talking.
You wanna know what his name is?

2291
01:49:15,048 --> 01:49:16,349
-Yeah.
-I'll give you the info.

2292
01:49:16,416 --> 01:49:19,719
His name is Diesel as in diesel fuel

2293
01:49:19,786 --> 01:49:23,423
that which makes a Mack truck go.

2294
01:49:23,490 --> 01:49:24,891
This is a Mack truck.

2295
01:49:24,958 --> 01:49:29,095
And this man protects Shawn Michaels
every inch of the way.

2296
01:49:29,162 --> 01:49:30,463
Thank you very much, gentlemen.

2297
01:49:30,530 --> 01:49:32,732
Get ready for more action
here at the King of the Ring.

2298
01:49:32,799 --> 01:49:35,735
Right now, let's get back to ringside.

2299
01:49:36,469 --> 01:49:37,671
[bell rings]

2300
01:49:37,737 --> 01:49:39,739
-[audience cheering]
-[upbeat music playing]

2301
01:49:39,806 --> 01:49:41,274
[Howard] The following--

2302
01:49:41,341 --> 01:49:43,510
[Bobby] Diesel's about seven feet tall,
isn't he?

2303
01:49:43,576 --> 01:49:48,848
-He is a big, big… That's a big Diesel.
-[Randy] I'm in a state of shock still.

2304
01:49:48,915 --> 01:49:52,919
This is incredible. It maybe a Man tag
right here. Jim Ross, go ahead.

2305
01:49:52,986 --> 01:49:54,721
I'm in shock what I've just seen.

2306
01:49:54,788 --> 01:49:57,590
Yokozuna, the new
World Wrestling Entertainment Champion.

2307
01:49:57,657 --> 01:50:01,528
[Jim] Well, the hot new combination
of the Smoking Gunns

2308
01:50:01,594 --> 01:50:04,097
along with my good friends
from the University Michigan,

2309
01:50:04,164 --> 01:50:07,267
Rick and Scott Steiner,
the Steiner Brothers.

2310
01:50:07,334 --> 01:50:11,338
And the fireworks, [inaudible]
we've had fireworks all night.

2311
01:50:11,404 --> 01:50:13,306
And I'm like you, Randy Savage,

2312
01:50:13,373 --> 01:50:15,542
I don't wanna do any disrespect
to this matchup,

2313
01:50:15,608 --> 01:50:17,477
there are eight great athletes
gonna be in this one,

2314
01:50:17,544 --> 01:50:20,580
but I'm in a bit of shock.
Yes, Hulkamania did.

2315
01:50:21,348 --> 01:50:24,351
[Randy] I don't know, I'll tell you what,
from what I've just seen,

2316
01:50:24,417 --> 01:50:27,988
Yokozuna put him down
like nobody else has ever done.

2317
01:50:28,054 --> 01:50:30,557
[Bobby] Don't forget that flashed him
right in the eyes,

2318
01:50:30,624 --> 01:50:33,960
and Hulkster, if you're anywhere listening
or anyone is close,

2319
01:50:34,027 --> 01:50:36,529
remember, Hulk,
we'll keep an eye out for you.

2320
01:50:36,596 --> 01:50:41,901
[Jim] Oh, Bobby, that's sickening,
and it's not even funny.

2321
01:50:41,968 --> 01:50:45,939
Here come Money Inc.,
the WWE tag champions,

2322
01:50:46,006 --> 01:50:49,109
and off the leads,
the Headshrinkers to the ring,

2323
01:50:49,175 --> 01:50:52,846
and, gentlemen, there's one thing
that the Steiners, the Gunns

2324
01:50:52,912 --> 01:50:54,681
and the Headshrinkers have in common,

2325
01:50:54,748 --> 01:50:59,452
they all want what Money Inc. have
and that's the tag team championship.

2326
01:50:59,519 --> 01:51:05,258
[upbeat music playing]

2327
01:51:05,325 --> 01:51:08,361
[Randy] I got to realize something
this last Monday at RAW,

2328
01:51:08,428 --> 01:51:13,800
Monday Night RAW, DiBiase and I.R.S.
did not get along with the Headshrinkers,

2329
01:51:13,867 --> 01:51:15,669
that could be a factor in this match.

2330
01:51:15,735 --> 01:51:19,305
And also, remember,
the King in the RingFinals to come

2331
01:51:19,372 --> 01:51:22,909
is Bam Bam Bigelow
against "The Hitman" Bret Hart.

2332
01:51:22,976 --> 01:51:24,978
[Jim] We're having a tremendous time
here in Dayton.

2333
01:51:25,045 --> 01:51:26,713
Again, we wanna thank everyone,

2334
01:51:26,780 --> 01:51:29,949
all the families
around this Great Land of ours

2335
01:51:30,016 --> 01:51:33,853
for being with us here on this event
wherever you may be.

2336
01:51:33,920 --> 01:51:36,356
Great sports entertainment,
great family fun.

2337
01:51:36,423 --> 01:51:40,226
[Randy] I feel I've wrestled in 40 matches
so far this evening.

2338
01:51:40,293 --> 01:51:43,196
[Bobby] What an action, what excitement.
This is great.

2339
01:51:44,264 --> 01:51:46,266
Plus, seeing Hogan
getting beaten is great.

2340
01:51:46,332 --> 01:51:49,102
[Jim] The Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase
and Scott Steiner starting it out here.

2341
01:51:49,169 --> 01:51:50,437
Arm drag takeover.

2342
01:51:50,503 --> 01:51:53,206
[Randy] I'm mentally and physically
drained, I can't believe it,

2343
01:51:53,273 --> 01:51:55,275
and there's more yet to come.

2344
01:51:55,341 --> 01:51:57,911
[Jim] DiBiase former footballer
West Texas State,

2345
01:51:57,977 --> 01:51:59,913
son of the late Iron Mike DiBiase.

2346
01:51:59,979 --> 01:52:04,084
Great competitor, especially
in his day as well, single leg pick up

2347
01:52:04,150 --> 01:52:07,153
by Scott Steiner goes for a waistlock
and goes behind DiBiase.

2348
01:52:07,220 --> 01:52:09,055
[Randy] I don't wanna take anything
away from this match,

2349
01:52:09,122 --> 01:52:12,926
Hogan tried to slam Yokozuna three times
and couldn't get it done.

2350
01:52:12,992 --> 01:52:15,361
[Bobby] Could not get him up,
you're right about that.

2351
01:52:15,428 --> 01:52:19,099
And Yokozuna kicked out
after Hogan dropped the big leg on him.

2352
01:52:19,165 --> 01:52:21,067
[Randy] Unbelievable, incredible.

2353
01:52:21,134 --> 01:52:22,569
[Bobby] He's gonna be a national hero
in Japan.

2354
01:52:22,635 --> 01:52:23,837
[Randy] He already is.

2355
01:52:23,903 --> 01:52:26,272
[Jim] Great leapfrog there
by Scott Steiner, dropkick,

2356
01:52:26,339 --> 01:52:27,974
caught DiBiase right in the face,

2357
01:52:28,041 --> 01:52:30,877
the Million Dollar Man
is a little groggy right now,

2358
01:52:30,944 --> 01:52:34,781
and a Steiner line takes DiBiase
up and over the top

2359
01:52:34,848 --> 01:52:36,583
all the way to the floor.

2360
01:52:37,083 --> 01:52:37,917
[Randy] Incredible--

2361
01:52:37,984 --> 01:52:39,519
[Jim] Right hand
by the "Dog-Faced Gremlin"

2362
01:52:39,586 --> 01:52:42,455
takes DiBiase right back inside.

2363
01:52:42,522 --> 01:52:44,457
How's the man gonna fight?

2364
01:52:45,024 --> 01:52:48,361
[Jim] And another Steiner line,
DiBiase can't stay in the ring.

2365
01:52:48,428 --> 01:52:51,131
Every time he gets back in,
he gets knocked right back out,

2366
01:52:51,197 --> 01:52:54,701
and, here, watch the Dog-Faced,
right hand, DiBiase in trouble.

2367
01:52:54,768 --> 01:52:57,470
[Randy] Steiners are playing
catch with Money Inc.

2368
01:52:58,104 --> 01:52:59,372
[Jim] DiBiase rolls in the outside,

2369
01:52:59,439 --> 01:53:02,909
he could be well-served
to make a tag here.

2370
01:53:02,976 --> 01:53:07,247
Now, you got to wonder
just exactly how cohesive Money Inc.

2371
01:53:07,313 --> 01:53:12,318
And the Headshrinkers will be
as DiBiase tags in big Fatu.

2372
01:53:12,385 --> 01:53:14,854
[Bobby] I'll tell you,
they're gonna work great as a team

2373
01:53:14,921 --> 01:53:17,490
because DiBiase told them,
"They'll be no trouble,

2374
01:53:17,557 --> 01:53:21,961
I've taken care of all the trouble
there can be because of my money."

2375
01:53:22,028 --> 01:53:25,532
[Jim] Bart Gunn in there,
got the exchange, trying to counter.

2376
01:53:25,598 --> 01:53:28,168
Oh, Fatu, a good move there.

2377
01:53:28,234 --> 01:53:30,370
[Randy] I didn't think the Headshrinkers
were that smart.

2378
01:53:30,436 --> 01:53:32,739
[Jim] Good drop toe in there
by Bart Gunn, Billy and Bart Gunn.

2379
01:53:32,806 --> 01:53:36,376
-[Bobby] I'm gonna tell him you said that.
-[Jim] Both have Rodeo professionally,

2380
01:53:36,442 --> 01:53:39,078
as a matter of fact, Billy Gunn
went to Sam Houston State in Texas

2381
01:53:39,145 --> 01:53:40,346
on a Rodeo scholarship.

2382
01:53:40,413 --> 01:53:41,948
[Bobby] Do you know anybody
that didn't go to school?

2383
01:53:42,015 --> 01:53:43,583
-[Jim] Oh, his head is…
-[Bobby] Stop.

2384
01:53:44,184 --> 01:53:48,855
[Jim] And that hit caught Bart Gunn
right in the face

2385
01:53:48,922 --> 01:53:50,590
there's nothing wrong
with having an education.

2386
01:53:50,657 --> 01:53:53,960
-[Bobby] A Rodeo scholarship?
-[Jim] Double teamed by the Headshrinkers.

2387
01:53:54,027 --> 01:53:56,162
[Bobby] What did he major in? Roping?

2388
01:53:56,229 --> 01:53:57,897
[Jim laughs]

2389
01:53:58,865 --> 01:54:01,968
[Jim] If you were on, you'll be measuring
and shooting the bull or something.

2390
01:54:02,035 --> 01:54:03,203
[Bobby] I don't like to shoot big animals.

2391
01:54:03,269 --> 01:54:05,171
[Jim] And you've got a PhD in it.

2392
01:54:05,238 --> 01:54:09,042
And I.R.S., what a chop there.

2393
01:54:09,108 --> 01:54:11,644
Perhaps, one of the greatest tag team
wrestlers in WWE history.

2394
01:54:11,711 --> 01:54:14,080
This man is at the title
with three different partners

2395
01:54:14,147 --> 01:54:16,416
on four different occasions.
And what an elbow there.

2396
01:54:16,482 --> 01:54:18,585
And Bart Gunn is in big time trouble.

2397
01:54:18,651 --> 01:54:20,453
[Bobby] And he went
to the University of Wall Street.

2398
01:54:20,520 --> 01:54:23,356
-I.R.S.
-Syracuse, thank you.

2399
01:54:23,423 --> 01:54:25,658
Leg dropped to the lower abdomen
of "Macho Man".

2400
01:54:25,725 --> 01:54:28,328
This one is almost a mini-battle royal.

2401
01:54:28,394 --> 01:54:31,664
[Randy] Absolutely,
but can I just say one second

2402
01:54:31,731 --> 01:54:34,000
that Yokozuna be in
the World Wrestling Entertainment Champion

2403
01:54:34,067 --> 01:54:35,668
had still got me baffled?

2404
01:54:36,436 --> 01:54:39,739
President Jack Tunney, I wonder
what he's thinking right now.

2405
01:54:41,174 --> 01:54:43,576
[Jim] Elbow by DiBiase
as Gunn came off those ropes,

2406
01:54:43,643 --> 01:54:47,046
front facelocked
by the Million Dollar Man,

2407
01:54:47,113 --> 01:54:50,416
and perfectly executed a suplex
by DiBiase,

2408
01:54:50,483 --> 01:54:52,418
one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions…

2409
01:54:52,485 --> 01:54:54,954
-Whoa, whoa.
-[Jim] …hoping up offensively here now.

2410
01:54:55,021 --> 01:54:56,089
And…

2411
01:54:57,690 --> 01:54:58,625
another chop.

2412
01:54:58,691 --> 01:55:00,360
[Randy] A lotta pressure on this match.

2413
01:55:00,426 --> 01:55:03,296
Uh, DiBiase and I.R.S.
being tag team champions,

2414
01:55:03,363 --> 01:55:07,000
being exposed to an 8-Man Tag
that's why they wanna look good

2415
01:55:07,066 --> 01:55:08,534
to keep that intimidation factor.

2416
01:55:08,601 --> 01:55:10,103
[Jim] Oh, look at that… Oh!

2417
01:55:10,169 --> 01:55:11,771
High back body drop,

2418
01:55:11,838 --> 01:55:14,140
tremendous elevation
from the Headshrinkers.

2419
01:55:14,207 --> 01:55:17,243
And Bart Gunn
in a great deal of trouble here.

2420
01:55:17,310 --> 01:55:19,679
And a headbutt to the lower abdomen,

2421
01:55:19,746 --> 01:55:21,981
perhaps even below the belt
couldn't see from here.

2422
01:55:22,048 --> 01:55:23,283
[Bobby] His belt's up high,
it doesn't matter.

2423
01:55:23,349 --> 01:55:26,686
[Jim] Lateral press, could be all,
and a two count.

2424
01:55:28,554 --> 01:55:30,390
[Bobby] What is that smell,
is the Rodeo in town?

2425
01:55:30,456 --> 01:55:34,093
He's watching [inaudible]
take a big bite out of him.

2426
01:55:34,160 --> 01:55:36,863
-[Jim] There's Afa.
-[inaudible] I wanna fight.

2427
01:55:36,929 --> 01:55:39,132
[Jim] Remember when Afa and Sika
were the WWE tag champions,

2428
01:55:39,198 --> 01:55:42,302
they were as bad as they come.
And what backbreaker.

2429
01:55:42,368 --> 01:55:45,305
[Bobby] Yes. They're as bad as they come.

2430
01:55:45,371 --> 01:55:47,674
[Jim] Lateral press, could be all.

2431
01:55:47,740 --> 01:55:50,176
Ladies and gentlemen,
we're gonna try to give you a word

2432
01:55:50,243 --> 01:55:54,747
as quickly as we hear it
regarding the condition of Hulk Hogan.

2433
01:55:54,814 --> 01:55:57,283
[Jim] I.R.S. got the tag,
and he's up on top now.

2434
01:55:57,350 --> 01:55:59,886
Clips the right hand,
and it found its mark.

2435
01:55:59,952 --> 01:56:01,888
[Randy]
What a great athlete that I.R.S. is.

2436
01:56:01,955 --> 01:56:05,191
[Jim] Afa, maybe taking off that money
or whatever is in the briefcase.

2437
01:56:05,258 --> 01:56:09,128
Legdrop, hooks the leg, and a near fall.

2438
01:56:09,195 --> 01:56:11,831
I'm rather impressed
with the teamwork thus far

2439
01:56:11,898 --> 01:56:14,534
of Money Inc. and the Headshrinkers.

2440
01:56:15,501 --> 01:56:17,170
Sunset flip.

2441
01:56:17,236 --> 01:56:20,907
But Bart Gunn
is in a much too weakened state,

2442
01:56:20,973 --> 01:56:21,974
he needs to make a tag.

2443
01:56:22,041 --> 01:56:24,010
[Randy] We got some fast action
happening right here.

2444
01:56:24,077 --> 01:56:25,778
I didn't expect that he was…

2445
01:56:26,179 --> 01:56:28,314
[Bobby] I think he needs to go back
to Rodeo school.

2446
01:56:28,381 --> 01:56:33,553
[audience chattering]

2447
01:56:39,192 --> 01:56:41,060
[Bobby] Aren't those the two guys
with the big brooms

2448
01:56:41,127 --> 01:56:44,297
that walk behind all the animals,
maybe I'm wrong, I don't know. I…

2449
01:56:45,198 --> 01:56:46,199
doubt it.

2450
01:56:47,467 --> 01:56:49,769
-[Randy] Wouldn't surprise me.
-[Jim] I.R.S. made a tag.

2451
01:56:49,836 --> 01:56:51,904
-And so did Bart Gunn.
-[Bobby] A fresh Gunn.

2452
01:56:51,971 --> 01:56:55,842
[Jim] DiBiase and Billy Gunn,
the two legal men in the ring here.

2453
01:56:55,908 --> 01:56:56,776
[Bobby] A loaded Gunn.

2454
01:56:56,843 --> 01:56:59,712
[Jim] Irish Whip,
far side, back body drop,

2455
01:56:59,779 --> 01:57:01,614
great elevation there by Billy Gunn.

2456
01:57:01,681 --> 01:57:03,616
[audience cheering]

2457
01:57:03,683 --> 01:57:05,385
[Jim] Caught him with a clothesline,

2458
01:57:05,451 --> 01:57:07,754
and another clothesline,
DiBiase in trouble here

2459
01:57:07,820 --> 01:57:09,355
in this 8-Man Tag Team event.

2460
01:57:10,990 --> 01:57:16,129
And DiBiase waistlock and dropped Gunn
right across the top ring cable.

2461
01:57:16,195 --> 01:57:17,630
He hung in there.

2462
01:57:17,697 --> 01:57:19,632
And now, let's see
if DiBiase can take advantage.

2463
01:57:19,699 --> 01:57:21,267
[Randy] Welcome to the WWE,

2464
01:57:21,334 --> 01:57:25,038
but the Smoking Gunns deserved to be here,
they came in with a bang.

2465
01:57:25,104 --> 01:57:26,572
[Jim] There's that Million Dollar Dream.

2466
01:57:26,639 --> 01:57:29,742
[Bobby] Nonetheless,
the cowboy that got hung.

2467
01:57:29,809 --> 01:57:32,645
[Jim] Million Dollar Dream by DiBiase.

2468
01:57:33,246 --> 01:57:38,418
And Billy Gunn in trouble here,
fading into obscurity in this contest.

2469
01:57:38,484 --> 01:57:42,522
[Bobby] I'll make him feel at home.
♪ Happy trails to you… ♪

2470
01:57:42,588 --> 01:57:47,260
-[Jim] DiBiase and… [inaudible].
-[audience chattering]

2471
01:57:47,326 --> 01:57:49,762
[Jim] And Billy Gunn almost outta it here.

2472
01:57:49,829 --> 01:57:52,298
[Randy] What happened here, he let go
of the Million Dollar Dream on his own,

2473
01:57:52,365 --> 01:57:54,133
-what happened?
-[Jim] I don't know, is that…

2474
01:57:54,200 --> 01:57:55,601
[Bobby] I think he gave up.

2475
01:57:55,668 --> 01:57:56,803
There's been no sounds from the bell.

2476
01:57:56,869 --> 01:58:00,440
[Jim] He never gave up,
DiBiase let go of him, just to rub it in.

2477
01:58:00,506 --> 01:58:02,775
[Bobby] He probably couldn't stand
the smell off of those jeans

2478
01:58:02,842 --> 01:58:04,076
and those dirty cowboy boots.

2479
01:58:04,143 --> 01:58:06,179
-[Randy] Are you trying to insult them?
-[Jim] That's what he's trying to do.

2480
01:58:06,245 --> 01:58:10,450
He's just trying to inflict
more punishment and pain.

2481
01:58:10,516 --> 01:58:14,287
Lateral… Hey, he got the inside cradle…
He got it.

2482
01:58:14,353 --> 01:58:17,390
-[bell rings]
-[Jim] He got it. Billy Gunn…

2483
01:58:17,457 --> 01:58:19,025
Oh, my there's a war breaking out.

2484
01:58:19,092 --> 01:58:21,928
[Randy] That's what you get
for being stupid.

2485
01:58:21,994 --> 01:58:24,397
[Bobby] Here we go,
looks like a battle royal to me.

2486
01:58:24,464 --> 01:58:27,467
[upbeat music playing]

2487
01:58:27,533 --> 01:58:29,769
[Jim] A war has broken out here.

2488
01:58:29,836 --> 01:58:34,774
The Steiner brothers and the Smoking Gunns
have won this 8-Man Tag Team event.

2489
01:58:35,775 --> 01:58:39,312
-[Howard] Here's your--
-[Randy] I bet DiBiase feels foolish now.

2490
01:58:39,378 --> 01:58:44,951
He's got to answer to I.R.S. on that one,
and the Headshrinkers.

2491
01:58:45,017 --> 01:58:50,490
[Jim] DiBiase is livid and rightfully so,
he made a big tactical error.

2492
01:58:50,556 --> 01:58:53,860
-[upbeat music playing]
-[audience chattering]

2493
01:58:53,926 --> 01:58:57,530
And, gentleman, this has been
an earth-shattering night in Dayton, Ohio.

2494
01:58:57,597 --> 01:59:01,300
I can't believe it, there's still
an Intercontinental title match to come,

2495
01:59:01,367 --> 01:59:04,036
and Bam Bam Bigelow
versus "The Hitman" Bret Hart

2496
01:59:04,103 --> 01:59:05,671
for the King of the Ring.

2497
01:59:05,738 --> 01:59:07,940
-Plus…
-But Hulk Hogan lost it all.

2498
01:59:08,007 --> 01:59:10,109
-That's what I'm concerned right now.
-Yokozuna's the new champion.

2499
01:59:10,176 --> 01:59:13,579
We hope to have a status report
on Hulk Hogan on the condition,

2500
01:59:13,646 --> 01:59:14,947
he's physical condition,

2501
01:59:15,014 --> 01:59:18,050
and, obviously, we know mostly
he's got to be completely--

2502
01:59:18,117 --> 01:59:21,454
He's got to be depressed,
he feels bad, he lost.

2503
01:59:21,521 --> 01:59:25,625
Ladies and gentlemen,
the new WWE Champion is standing by

2504
01:59:25,691 --> 01:59:28,227
with "Mean Gene" Okerlund,
let's go there now.

2505
01:59:28,294 --> 01:59:30,997
-So…
-[mellow music playing]

2506
01:59:31,063 --> 01:59:34,500
All right. There has been a pandemonium
here in the dressing room

2507
01:59:34,567 --> 01:59:37,470
of the brand-new
World Wrestling Entertainment Champion,

2508
01:59:37,537 --> 01:59:38,704
Yokozuna.

2509
01:59:38,771 --> 01:59:41,440
Here with the very delighted manager,
Mr. Fuji,

2510
01:59:41,507 --> 01:59:43,876
and the president
of the World Wrestling Entertainment,

2511
01:59:43,943 --> 01:59:44,777
Jack Tunney.

2512
01:59:44,844 --> 01:59:48,814
You saw this entire thing go down
as Yokozuna defeated Hulk Hogan.

2513
01:59:48,881 --> 01:59:52,051
I would just like to congratulate
our new champion, Yokozuna,

2514
01:59:52,118 --> 01:59:54,654
and I know Mr. Fuji is very pleased
about this.

2515
01:59:54,720 --> 01:59:55,888
I thank you, President Tunney.

2516
01:59:55,955 --> 01:59:57,490
-Now, Mr. Fuji.
-Yes, yes.

2517
01:59:57,557 --> 02:00:00,393
Things are certainly going down tonight
a whole lot different

2518
02:00:00,459 --> 02:00:02,195
than it did at WrestleMania IX.

2519
02:00:02,261 --> 02:00:04,063
Oh, like I told you, Gene Okerlund,

2520
02:00:04,130 --> 02:00:08,701
didn't I tell you
that my Yokozuna beefed up to 550 pounds?

2521
02:00:08,768 --> 02:00:09,602
[Gene] [inaudible] You can tell it.

2522
02:00:09,669 --> 02:00:14,173
And when Hulk Hogan faces him,
he will go down, down, down,

2523
02:00:14,240 --> 02:00:16,676
and we will retain the belt like we did,

2524
02:00:16,742 --> 02:00:20,980
and Hulk Hogan
and all the Hulkamania is dead.

2525
02:00:21,047 --> 02:00:22,648
[Fuji laughs]

2526
02:00:22,715 --> 02:00:24,951
A lotta Americans are very unhappy tonight

2527
02:00:25,017 --> 02:00:26,219
-here at the King of the Ring.
-Why?

2528
02:00:26,285 --> 02:00:30,089
Because I guess you predicted something
they didn't think was gonna happened,

2529
02:00:30,156 --> 02:00:32,758
a piece of Americana
perhaps dying tonight.

2530
02:00:32,825 --> 02:00:34,193
[laughs]

2531
02:00:34,260 --> 02:00:37,396
America and Hulk Hogan is finished.

2532
02:00:37,463 --> 02:00:43,002
-Now, Yokozuna is new WWE Champion.
-Bull's eye.

2533
02:00:43,069 --> 02:00:44,270
[Gene] I am very curious.

2534
02:00:44,337 --> 02:00:49,408
It seems to me that an event like this
of this magnitude calls for a celebration.

2535
02:00:49,475 --> 02:00:52,278
Do you plan on celebrating the victory?

2536
02:00:52,345 --> 02:00:57,216
-Prince Akihito is recently got married.
-Yes, he did.

2537
02:00:57,283 --> 02:01:02,788
The Japanese girl who attended
Harvard University in America.

2538
02:01:02,855 --> 02:01:06,359
So now, Prince Akihito
you and your newly bride,

2539
02:01:06,425 --> 02:01:09,662
you celebrate, all Japan celebrate.

2540
02:01:09,729 --> 02:01:14,367
Later on, Yokozuna and myself
will celebrate a later date.

2541
02:01:14,433 --> 02:01:15,768
Not too close with that camera.

2542
02:01:15,835 --> 02:01:17,803
-Why not camera?
-A little decorum here, please.

2543
02:01:17,870 --> 02:01:19,772
-Why are you talking about camera?
-Very good.

2544
02:01:19,839 --> 02:01:24,076
I thank you, Mr. Fuji,
and I thank you very much, Yokozuna.

2545
02:01:24,143 --> 02:01:26,879
From here, we go back to Japan,
is that the bottom line?

2546
02:01:26,946 --> 02:01:31,951
No, no, no, no, no. You know what,
we will celebrate in America.

2547
02:01:32,018 --> 02:01:33,419
[laughs]

2548
02:01:33,486 --> 02:01:37,356
Big celebration,
later, we notify all American people.

2549
02:01:37,423 --> 02:01:39,158
[Gene] What do you mean,
a big celebration here on America?

2550
02:01:39,225 --> 02:01:42,094
[Fuji] Yes. Well, it make people enjoy.

2551
02:01:42,161 --> 02:01:43,896
[Gene] Thank you.
I can hardly wait for that.

2552
02:01:43,963 --> 02:01:47,433
Right now,
let's get back to the Fink, Howard Finkel.

2553
02:01:48,000 --> 02:01:49,101
[bell ringing]

2554
02:01:49,168 --> 02:01:52,371
[Howard] The following contest
scheduled for one fall

2555
02:01:52,438 --> 02:01:59,211
is for the World Wrestling Entertainment
Intercontinental Championship.

2556
02:01:59,278 --> 02:02:03,282
-[upbeat music playing]
-[audience cheering]

2557
02:02:03,349 --> 02:02:06,986
[Howard] Coming down the aisle
is the challenger

2558
02:02:07,053 --> 02:02:10,289
from Kona, Hawaii, weighing 315 pounds--

2559
02:02:10,356 --> 02:02:12,625
[Jim] Ladies and gentlemen,
as the Crush comes to the ring,

2560
02:02:12,692 --> 02:02:15,928
I've been informed that
the good news is that

2561
02:02:15,995 --> 02:02:21,367
there will be apparently
no permanent vision damage to Hulk Hogan.

2562
02:02:21,434 --> 02:02:25,404
Uh, he has not sustained any broken ribs,
maybe a little bruised ribs,

2563
02:02:25,471 --> 02:02:28,741
some battering, of course,
but I can assure you

2564
02:02:28,808 --> 02:02:33,446
that we have not heard the last
of Hulk Hogan in Hulkamania.

2565
02:02:33,512 --> 02:02:36,916
[Randy] Guaranteed, all the Hulkamaniacs
out there are gonna be relieved

2566
02:02:36,982 --> 02:02:41,921
because Hulk Hogan's eyes are okay,
and you know that Hulk Hogan

2567
02:02:41,987 --> 02:02:44,457
is not gonna let Yokozuna
get away from this.

2568
02:02:44,523 --> 02:02:47,626
He'll be right back in there
in Yokozuna's face.

2569
02:02:47,693 --> 02:02:50,262
[Bobby] It was amazing.
Tomorrow, all over the world

2570
02:02:50,329 --> 02:02:52,631
will be pictures of Yokozuna
at the front page.

2571
02:02:52,698 --> 02:02:54,366
If you wanna read about Hogan…

2572
02:02:54,433 --> 02:02:58,404
[Howard] Coming down the aisle
with his body guard, Diesel.

2573
02:02:58,471 --> 02:03:01,607
[Jim] Ladies and gentlemen,
one week to go in Albany, New York,

2574
02:03:01,674 --> 02:03:06,078
in the Knickerbocker Arena,
that young man Shawn Michaels

2575
02:03:06,145 --> 02:03:11,016
regained the Intercontinental Championship
by defeating Marty Jannetty,

2576
02:03:11,083 --> 02:03:14,420
and from what I understand,
that big body guard

2577
02:03:14,487 --> 02:03:16,622
that guy right there, they call him Diesel

2578
02:03:16,689 --> 02:03:21,060
who stands at 6-10, 6-11, 7ft,
somewhere in that neighborhood

2579
02:03:21,127 --> 02:03:24,196
was somewhat involved in that situation.

2580
02:03:24,263 --> 02:03:27,166
[Randy] Well, Shawn Michael was shocked
by Marty Jannetty,

2581
02:03:27,233 --> 02:03:30,369
and that made him a bit nervous,
so he wanted an insurance policy.

2582
02:03:30,436 --> 02:03:32,705
He's got Diesel,
but let me tell you something,

2583
02:03:32,772 --> 02:03:37,777
Shawn Michael
is a great, great wrestling talent.

2584
02:03:37,843 --> 02:03:39,311
[Jim] You know,
the thing about this matchup,

2585
02:03:39,378 --> 02:03:45,317
if you look at the size of Crush,
6-7, 6-8, 315 pounds.

2586
02:03:45,384 --> 02:03:50,289
He's a guy that has squatted
an excess of 705 pounds,

2587
02:03:50,356 --> 02:03:53,559
his best bench-press is almost 600 pounds.

2588
02:03:53,626 --> 02:03:57,763
He dead lifted close to 800 pounds,
so he's in the favor in this match, Randy.

2589
02:03:57,830 --> 02:03:59,432
[Randy] Well, I think that he is,

2590
02:03:59,498 --> 02:04:01,934
and I also think that
Crush would slam Yokozuna.

2591
02:04:02,001 --> 02:04:03,002
What do you think, Heenan?

2592
02:04:03,068 --> 02:04:05,771
[Bobby] No, I don't think
anybody could slam Yokozuna.

2593
02:04:05,838 --> 02:04:08,574
I'll tell you something about
"The Heartbreak Kid" here Shawn Michael.

2594
02:04:08,641 --> 02:04:10,910
This is an unfair advantage.

2595
02:04:10,976 --> 02:04:14,046
Six days, seven days ago,
whatever happened in Albany, New York,

2596
02:04:14,113 --> 02:04:15,948
he recaptured the WWE title.

2597
02:04:16,015 --> 02:04:19,952
Now, a word comes out he has the…
I mean, the WWE Intercontinental title.

2598
02:04:20,019 --> 02:04:22,988
He has to defend the title
right now against Crush.

2599
02:04:23,055 --> 02:04:24,523
He wasn't… He's not prepared.

2600
02:04:24,590 --> 02:04:26,826
[Randy] You're almost as nervous
as Shawn Michaels is like.

2601
02:04:26,892 --> 02:04:29,762
[Bobby] There so much excitement,
I can't keep track of anything.

2602
02:04:29,829 --> 02:04:30,863
[Jim] All right, ladies and gentlemen,

2603
02:04:30,930 --> 02:04:33,332
we are live at the Nutter Center,
Dayton, Ohio.

2604
02:04:33,399 --> 02:04:34,467
Thank you for being with us.

2605
02:04:34,533 --> 02:04:36,802
The Intercontinental Championship
on the line here,

2606
02:04:36,869 --> 02:04:38,938
and the bell had sounded,
and we're ready to go,

2607
02:04:39,004 --> 02:04:41,173
and this is gonna be
a very interesting matchup.

2608
02:04:41,240 --> 02:04:44,243
And one would think
a very contrasting styles, but not so,

2609
02:04:44,310 --> 02:04:46,579
because Crush is so agile.

2610
02:04:46,645 --> 02:04:51,584
He is just exactly as… I think he's quick
and as agile as Shawn Michaels is,

2611
02:04:51,650 --> 02:04:54,587
the Intercontinental Championship
is indeed on the line.

2612
02:04:54,653 --> 02:04:55,621
[Bobby] But he's mad.

2613
02:04:55,688 --> 02:04:59,191
He's mad because Shawn Michael kept him
outta the King of the Ring tournament,

2614
02:04:59,258 --> 02:05:00,826
and that's burning inside,

2615
02:05:00,893 --> 02:05:03,863
and this big Hawaiian
is gonna try to take it outta him.

2616
02:05:03,929 --> 02:05:05,531
That will cost him the match.

2617
02:05:05,598 --> 02:05:08,868
[Randy] There's been one title
change today, could there be two.

2618
02:05:08,934 --> 02:05:11,103
Look at the power of that tackle,

2619
02:05:11,170 --> 02:05:16,442
that's only strength across his part,
that's speed coming off the ropes.

2620
02:05:16,509 --> 02:05:18,577
[Jim] They may call that big man Diesel
right there,

2621
02:05:18,644 --> 02:05:23,215
but it looked like a runaway 18-Wheeler
that just run through Shawn Michaels.

2622
02:05:23,282 --> 02:05:27,019
Michaels cannot, obviously,
match power with this huge man.

2623
02:05:27,086 --> 02:05:28,888
[Randy] I think he knows that.

2624
02:05:28,954 --> 02:05:31,257
[Bobby] You didn't have a camera
explode in your face.

2625
02:05:31,323 --> 02:05:33,792
[Jim] So, what's he got to do then
to beat him, Randy?

2626
02:05:33,859 --> 02:05:36,595
[Randy] So what Shawn Michaels
is gonna do to beat Crush, I don't know.

2627
02:05:36,662 --> 02:05:38,564
I'm thinking Crush
is gonna take this title.

2628
02:05:38,631 --> 02:05:41,200
-[Bobby] I do.
-[Jim] Brain, then what is your analogy?

2629
02:05:41,267 --> 02:05:45,204
[Bobby] He's got to cause Crush
to make a mistake.

2630
02:05:45,271 --> 02:05:48,741
Crush has to make a mistake.
He's mad at Shawn Michaels.

2631
02:05:48,807 --> 02:05:51,277
Forget being mad.
Shawn Michaels has the gold.

2632
02:05:51,343 --> 02:05:53,612
You've got to go out
and concentrate on that.

2633
02:05:53,679 --> 02:05:56,582
That's the way you become a champion.

2634
02:05:56,649 --> 02:05:59,351
-You got to agree with me on that, right?
-[Randy] Yes, I do.

2635
02:05:59,418 --> 02:06:02,988
[Jim] Look at the quickness of Crush,
and the agility of Shawn Michaels.

2636
02:06:03,055 --> 02:06:06,225
Both these are very gifted athletes.
Michaels got that jab in.

2637
02:06:06,292 --> 02:06:09,461
-[Randy] Shawn Michael is quick.
-[Jim] He stunned him with it.

2638
02:06:09,528 --> 02:06:11,463
[Bobby] Make him mad.
Make him make a mistake.

2639
02:06:11,530 --> 02:06:12,865
Shawn knows what he's doing.

2640
02:06:13,732 --> 02:06:16,969
[Jim] So Michaels in your estimation,
Brain, got to frustrate the big man.

2641
02:06:17,036 --> 02:06:21,006
[Bobby] That's right.
He has to cause him to make a mistake.

2642
02:06:21,073 --> 02:06:23,175
He has to throw him off his game plan.

2643
02:06:23,242 --> 02:06:25,411
I like Diesel standing here in the corner.

2644
02:06:25,477 --> 02:06:29,481
He's standing on the ground,
and he's looking over the top rope almost.

2645
02:06:30,449 --> 02:06:32,885
[Jim] Michaels with that standing arm bar.

2646
02:06:33,686 --> 02:06:36,455
Michaels one would assume
have to hit and run around here,

2647
02:06:36,522 --> 02:06:39,592
perhaps destroy some of the balance
of this big man.

2648
02:06:39,658 --> 02:06:41,527
Crush is so awesomely strong.

2649
02:06:41,594 --> 02:06:44,863
Many say the strongest man
in the World Wrestling Entertainment.

2650
02:06:44,930 --> 02:06:46,765
[Bobby] A lotta people tell me,
he doesn't know how strong he is.

2651
02:06:46,832 --> 02:06:47,866
-[Jim] Right there.
-[Randy] Look at that.

2652
02:06:47,933 --> 02:06:49,368
-[Jim] Great move.
-[Randy] What a leapfrog.

2653
02:06:49,435 --> 02:06:50,903
-Can you--
-[Jim] Quickness and agility.

2654
02:06:50,970 --> 02:06:53,973
Oh, Michael missed with that super kick
and a dropkick.

2655
02:06:54,039 --> 02:06:57,710
-[Randy] Can you believe this guy can…
-[Jim] Oh, a dropkick.

2656
02:06:57,776 --> 02:07:00,679
And Michaels right out here by us
at ringside,

2657
02:07:00,746 --> 02:07:04,550
two tremendous dropkicks
from a 315-pounder.

2658
02:07:04,616 --> 02:07:06,986
I don't care if you're 215,
that was a phenomenal move.

2659
02:07:07,052 --> 02:07:09,088
[Randy] I think
Crush is the total package.

2660
02:07:09,154 --> 02:07:12,691
You got size, you got strength,
you got quickness. This is unbelievable.

2661
02:07:12,758 --> 02:07:14,360
Look at Shawn Michaels now,

2662
02:07:14,426 --> 02:07:17,363
that is capital worried right there
at Shawn Michaels' mind.

2663
02:07:17,429 --> 02:07:20,332
He can't believe
what he just got himself into.

2664
02:07:20,399 --> 02:07:22,201
[Bobby] Wrong macho mouth.

2665
02:07:22,267 --> 02:07:25,137
He may be strong,
he maybe big, he may be quick,

2666
02:07:25,204 --> 02:07:28,607
but between those ears,
just a busted up pineapple.

2667
02:07:29,808 --> 02:07:31,610
[Jim] We'll be sure
to mention that to him.

2668
02:07:31,677 --> 02:07:32,511
[Bobby] I didn't say that.

2669
02:07:32,578 --> 02:07:34,613
-I'm relaying what I heard earlier.
-[Jim] Yeah.

2670
02:07:34,680 --> 02:07:37,416
[Randy] Shawn Michaels not too fast
to get back into the ring right now.

2671
02:07:37,483 --> 02:07:40,152
-[Jim] Who can blame him?
-[Bobby] Shawn doesn't have to beat him.

2672
02:07:40,219 --> 02:07:41,286
He has to beat Shawn.

2673
02:07:41,353 --> 02:07:42,888
[Jim] You wanna take the easy way out
on everything--

2674
02:07:42,955 --> 02:07:45,157
[Bobby] You got to take the easy way out,
this is life.

2675
02:07:45,224 --> 02:07:47,092
Remember, a friend in need is a pest.

2676
02:07:47,159 --> 02:07:48,694
[Jim] Single leg pick up,
and not for long.

2677
02:07:48,761 --> 02:07:51,430
Did Michaels had the advantage,
and Crush very quickly,

2678
02:07:51,497 --> 02:07:52,731
he got a single leg pick up in.

2679
02:07:52,798 --> 02:07:55,200
Look, how quick the Crush
gets right back up to his feet.

2680
02:07:55,267 --> 02:07:57,803
This is a very gifted athlete
on that tackle.

2681
02:07:57,870 --> 02:07:59,438
-[Randy] What can't Crush do?
-[Jim] Whoa, whoa!

2682
02:07:59,505 --> 02:08:00,406
[Bobby] Whoa, whoa!

2683
02:08:00,472 --> 02:08:06,011
[Jim] He's quick, and, obviously,
he is, yes, indeed, very, very strong.

2684
02:08:06,078 --> 02:08:07,312
[Randy] Look at this.

2685
02:08:07,379 --> 02:08:10,149
[Jim] He's military pressing
the Intercontinental Champion.

2686
02:08:10,215 --> 02:08:12,818
[Randy] I say Crush can slam Yokozuna.

2687
02:08:12,885 --> 02:08:14,520
-[thud]
-[Jim] Wow.

2688
02:08:14,586 --> 02:08:15,554
[audience cheering]

2689
02:08:15,621 --> 02:08:20,959
-[Randy] I say he can slam Yokozuna.
-[audience whistling]

2690
02:08:21,026 --> 02:08:24,363
[Bobby] He's powerful and he so strong,
but he's not gonna stand there

2691
02:08:24,430 --> 02:08:29,268
benched by military pressing a 550 pound
WWE Champion may I add.

2692
02:08:29,334 --> 02:08:30,369
[Randy] I said that he could slam--

2693
02:08:30,436 --> 02:08:33,272
[Jim] Oh, Michaels went
for a tour of the islands.

2694
02:08:33,338 --> 02:08:36,075
And the landing was a rather rough
and rocky one.

2695
02:08:36,141 --> 02:08:37,309
[Randy] Shaka brah.

2696
02:08:37,376 --> 02:08:41,980
The man from Kona, Hawaii, has got Shawn…
Oh, look at this.

2697
02:08:42,047 --> 02:08:44,383
[Jim] That was a pretty smart move
by that bodyguard.

2698
02:08:44,450 --> 02:08:47,553
He noticed his mentor was in big trouble.

2699
02:08:47,619 --> 02:08:49,955
[Randy] Is that the way
it's gonna be, Heenan?

2700
02:08:50,022 --> 02:08:53,125
[Bobby] I don't know their game plan,
but I would do it that way.

2701
02:08:53,192 --> 02:08:55,461
I'd stay away
from the power of the big man

2702
02:08:55,527 --> 02:08:58,030
from Kona, Hawaii.
I'd make him make a mistake.

2703
02:08:58,097 --> 02:09:01,633
He's very quick and agile.
He's not real bright, so you got to…

2704
02:09:01,700 --> 02:09:04,369
I would stay away from the things
that'll hurt you, and that's his strength.

2705
02:09:04,436 --> 02:09:06,238
[Randy] I'd say
Crush is the total package.

2706
02:09:06,305 --> 02:09:08,107
I think that he's gonna take
Shawn Michaels,

2707
02:09:08,173 --> 02:09:10,642
he's gonna take the Intercontinental title
right now

2708
02:09:10,709 --> 02:09:12,377
and possibly go after Yokozuna,

2709
02:09:12,444 --> 02:09:15,814
slamming him
and beat him for the WWE title.

2710
02:09:15,881 --> 02:09:18,750
Look at this. Look at this showdown.

2711
02:09:18,817 --> 02:09:23,355
[Jim] Crush a big man, but behind,
and, oh, my gosh, from behind.

2712
02:09:23,422 --> 02:09:27,993
The bodyguard distracted Crush,
and Crush smacked at ring post.

2713
02:09:28,060 --> 02:09:29,862
[Bobby] Wrong, he did not distract…

2714
02:09:29,928 --> 02:09:31,396
[Randy] Yeah, he got hit from behind
and hit the ring post.

2715
02:09:31,463 --> 02:09:32,664
-It was like a whiplash.
-[Bobby] Oh.

2716
02:09:32,731 --> 02:09:34,299
[Randy] And there he goes again
right into the ring post.

2717
02:09:34,366 --> 02:09:38,537
[Jim] Diesel just smacked Crush head first
into the steel,

2718
02:09:38,604 --> 02:09:41,273
and even Crush
might be able to recover from that.

2719
02:09:41,340 --> 02:09:43,041
[Bobby] Did the referee see that?

2720
02:09:43,108 --> 02:09:45,711
-[Randy] I saw it.
-[Bobby] No, you don't count.

2721
02:09:45,777 --> 02:09:49,381
Did the referee see it?
No, it doesn't count.

2722
02:09:49,448 --> 02:09:51,650
-[Jim] It happened. Oh, my gosh!
-[Randy] Look at this.

2723
02:09:51,717 --> 02:09:54,119
Banging the back of his head
into the ring post.

2724
02:09:54,186 --> 02:09:55,788
Shawn Michaels is vicious.

2725
02:09:55,854 --> 02:09:59,258
[Jim] Five or six times,
the referee having a conference

2726
02:09:59,324 --> 02:10:02,161
and an untimely one with the bodyguard,

2727
02:10:02,227 --> 02:10:04,863
and I have never seen anyone
struck someone,

2728
02:10:04,930 --> 02:10:08,600
the back of their head that many times
and this succession.

2729
02:10:08,667 --> 02:10:10,536
I don't… There's no way
Crush could get back in the ring.

2730
02:10:10,602 --> 02:10:11,970
[Randy] Crush is gonna be counted out.

2731
02:10:12,037 --> 02:10:14,673
[Bobby] He's got a three count.
Now, he's at the four.

2732
02:10:14,740 --> 02:10:15,641
[Randy] That's it.

2733
02:10:16,942 --> 02:10:19,812
Look at Shawn Michaels stopped the count.
Why'd he do that?

2734
02:10:19,878 --> 02:10:22,347
[Bobby] He's not done with him yet.
He knows he has him.

2735
02:10:22,414 --> 02:10:24,216
[Randy] He knows he knocked him out.

2736
02:10:24,283 --> 02:10:26,318
Probably wants to get the pin
on the Hawaiian

2737
02:10:26,385 --> 02:10:29,521
-and put a feather in his cap right there.
-[Jim] Crush is almost outta it.

2738
02:10:29,588 --> 02:10:33,792
-[Bobby] He's down on his feet.
-[Randy] He can hardly pick him up.

2739
02:10:33,859 --> 02:10:38,030
[Jim] Michaels trying to get him up.
The 315-pounder is a load.

2740
02:10:38,096 --> 02:10:40,332
[Randy] That's dead weight right there
as Crush is knocked out.

2741
02:10:40,399 --> 02:10:43,869
[Jim] Hey, this guy, Crush had
so many problems with Doink the Clown,

2742
02:10:43,936 --> 02:10:46,738
and we've seen that we've documented
that on our broadcast.

2743
02:10:46,805 --> 02:10:50,642
This guy has overcome a lotta things
to get this opportunity,

2744
02:10:50,709 --> 02:10:54,112
-and to lose it like this is a tragedy.
-[Randy] Look at this. He's out.

2745
02:10:54,179 --> 02:10:56,248
-[Bobby] Call 911, he is hurt.
-[audience cheering]

2746
02:10:56,315 --> 02:10:58,584
-[Randy] Oh. He kicked out.
-[Jim] Oh, he didn't get it.

2747
02:10:58,650 --> 02:11:00,419
-[audience cheering]
-[Jim] And Michael can't believe it.

2748
02:11:00,485 --> 02:11:04,122
[Randy] Shawn Michaels wishes right now
he went on a count-out, I'm sure.

2749
02:11:04,189 --> 02:11:05,691
[Bobby] That may have been
the last strength

2750
02:11:05,757 --> 02:11:07,826
you see come outta Crush's body.

2751
02:11:07,893 --> 02:11:12,531
[Randy] You're still against all odds
right now, because Crush is in no way…

2752
02:11:12,598 --> 02:11:15,033
Look at this, he's through.

2753
02:11:15,667 --> 02:11:18,804
[Jim] Michaels had took a chance,
up on the top.

2754
02:11:18,871 --> 02:11:20,939
Big sledgehammer
right to the back of the head.

2755
02:11:21,006 --> 02:11:23,909
[Randy] I don't know. I can't believe
this. This is incredible right now.

2756
02:11:23,976 --> 02:11:26,545
[Bobby] I can't believe after him
having his head ran into the post,

2757
02:11:26,612 --> 02:11:29,281
six, seven, eight times,
and he's still conscious.

2758
02:11:29,348 --> 02:11:31,884
-[Randy] Exactly.
-[Jim] Straight right hand by Michaels.

2759
02:11:31,950 --> 02:11:33,919
Michaels trying to put the challenger away

2760
02:11:33,986 --> 02:11:36,655
in this battle
for the Intercontinental Championship.

2761
02:11:36,722 --> 02:11:39,858
[Bobby] It just shows you
how tough it is in the WWE.

2762
02:11:39,925 --> 02:11:42,861
-How really, really tough these athletes--
-[Jim] Lateral press.

2763
02:11:42,928 --> 02:11:47,332
Oh, no, another… That bench press…
We said he bench presses about 600 pounds.

2764
02:11:47,399 --> 02:11:51,303
[Randy] We didn't have to wait too long
to find out what Diesel is there for.

2765
02:11:51,370 --> 02:11:54,506
[Jim] Yeah, insurance indeed.
That's one way of putting it.

2766
02:11:54,573 --> 02:11:58,310
Michaels front facelocking the Crush now.

2767
02:11:58,377 --> 02:12:01,046
Randy, is this good strategy here?
Should he be trying to pin him?

2768
02:12:01,113 --> 02:12:02,781
He's not gonna beat him
with a front facelock.

2769
02:12:02,848 --> 02:12:05,951
[Randy] I'll tell you what, I think
Shawn Michaels' best opportunity

2770
02:12:06,018 --> 02:12:07,986
was when Crush was knocked out
in the outside of the ring,

2771
02:12:08,053 --> 02:12:09,922
-Heenan, what do you think?
-[Bobby] I agree with you.

2772
02:12:09,988 --> 02:12:12,224
I would've distracted the referee
and broke the counter

2773
02:12:12,291 --> 02:12:14,893
or go out the floor after him,
I would've gone to the neutral corner

2774
02:12:14,960 --> 02:12:18,297
and let him the count the 10, 20, 30, 40,
Crush was going nowhere.

2775
02:12:18,363 --> 02:12:20,799
[Randy] Shawn Michaels
mistake was ego in there.

2776
02:12:21,700 --> 02:12:24,569
[audience cheering]

2777
02:12:24,636 --> 02:12:27,773
[Jim] Michaels with that front facelock
wrenched in

2778
02:12:27,839 --> 02:12:32,210
and it is a testament to Crush
that he hasn't been defeated

2779
02:12:32,277 --> 02:12:34,513
after the high impact blows to the post,
Randy.

2780
02:12:34,579 --> 02:12:35,547
[Randy] Listen to these people.

2781
02:12:35,614 --> 02:12:38,850
They believe in the big man
from Kona, Hawaii, Shaka Brah.

2782
02:12:38,917 --> 02:12:42,955
Crush. They think that he can come back
even from what he's been through.

2783
02:12:43,021 --> 02:12:44,456
Crush up to that vertical base

2784
02:12:44,523 --> 02:12:48,760
but again you got to wonder
how much he has left.

2785
02:12:50,796 --> 02:12:57,202
Shawn Michaels and Crush again
with an amazing display of strength here.

2786
02:12:59,538 --> 02:13:05,344
And Michaels goes right back
to the front facelock and again Crush…

2787
02:13:05,744 --> 02:13:07,479
-[Bobby] Look at that.
-[Jim] Oh, my gosh.

2788
02:13:07,546 --> 02:13:09,448
[Randy] Unbelievable strength.

2789
02:13:09,514 --> 02:13:12,985
That man not only could take
the Intercontinental title right now

2790
02:13:13,051 --> 02:13:15,220
but I think he could slam Yokozuna.

2791
02:13:15,287 --> 02:13:18,457
[Bobby] And after having his head
banged into that post seven or eight times

2792
02:13:18,523 --> 02:13:21,226
and the beating his taken, look at this.

2793
02:13:21,293 --> 02:13:24,129
-[Jim] And it's now… Oh, my. Oh, my God.
-[Randy] Unbelievable.

2794
02:13:24,196 --> 02:13:28,033
Now, Shawn Michaels's is in trouble.
Now, the momentum has changed.

2795
02:13:28,100 --> 02:13:29,101
-[Jim] Michaels…
-[Bobby] Big trouble.

2796
02:13:29,167 --> 02:13:31,937
[Jim] …his face
right across that top ring rope

2797
02:13:32,004 --> 02:13:36,975
and his chest as well and Michael's,
now he may not be able to recover here.

2798
02:13:37,042 --> 02:13:38,977
Michael is almost in a desperate state.

2799
02:13:39,044 --> 02:13:41,947
He's gonna go on top
and trying to put the big man away

2800
02:13:42,013 --> 02:13:45,751
and Crush side stepping
and swatted Michaels like a fly.

2801
02:13:45,817 --> 02:13:47,586
[Randy] Crush is a smart man, Heenan.

2802
02:13:47,652 --> 02:13:50,055
Not a smart man
wouldn't been able to do that.

2803
02:13:50,122 --> 02:13:52,391
Crush is on a roll right now.
He's title bound.

2804
02:13:52,457 --> 02:13:54,493
[Jim] Oh, up and over.

2805
02:13:54,559 --> 02:13:58,096
Michaels goes to that two time zones
before he landed.

2806
02:13:59,197 --> 02:14:03,702
[Randy] Crush is showing me something,
he's championship material right here.

2807
02:14:03,769 --> 02:14:07,639
[Jim] Irish Whip far side,
tremendous velocity and high,

2808
02:14:07,706 --> 02:14:10,409
high impact backbreaker, hooks the leg,
and a…

2809
02:14:10,475 --> 02:14:13,879
No, a half and count away
from a new Intercontinental Champion.

2810
02:14:13,945 --> 02:14:15,514
[Randy] Give Shawn Michaels credit.

2811
02:14:15,580 --> 02:14:18,917
He's in there and he's not
going down without a fight.

2812
02:14:18,984 --> 02:14:22,687
[Jim] [inaudible] kick right to the face.
Crush is turning it up a notch.

2813
02:14:22,754 --> 02:14:25,557
[Bobby] Shawn Michaels has made
the biggest mistake in his life maybe.

2814
02:14:25,624 --> 02:14:28,627
-He could've had… Oh.
-[Randy] I agree, Heenan.

2815
02:14:28,693 --> 02:14:31,062
-[Bobby] He could've beat and he didn't.
-[Jim] He got it, no.

2816
02:14:31,129 --> 02:14:32,364
[Randy] Almost a three count.

2817
02:14:32,431 --> 02:14:34,299
[Bobby] And then he lets his ego
take over.

2818
02:14:34,366 --> 02:14:37,235
He was taking the fight to Crush
when he was outside the ring.

2819
02:14:37,302 --> 02:14:39,337
I wouldn't have laid backed,
I got counted out,

2820
02:14:39,404 --> 02:14:41,706
I may have lost the match,
but I would've kept the title.

2821
02:14:41,773 --> 02:14:43,241
[Jim] Michaels lands on his feet.

2822
02:14:43,308 --> 02:14:44,743
Oh, that… What impact there.

2823
02:14:44,810 --> 02:14:45,644
[audience cheering]

2824
02:14:45,710 --> 02:14:47,746
Crush just ran through
the Intercontinental Champion.

2825
02:14:47,813 --> 02:14:50,315
[Randy] No, this could be a count out
on the outside of the ring

2826
02:14:50,382 --> 02:14:54,152
but Crush does not want to… Oh, no.

2827
02:14:54,619 --> 02:14:56,822
-[Bobby] But there's not--
-[Randy] This is…

2828
02:14:58,223 --> 02:15:01,359
-There's Doink coming down the aisle.
-[Jim] How many are there?

2829
02:15:01,426 --> 02:15:04,162
-[Bobby] I only see one.
-[Jim] You always see double.

2830
02:15:04,229 --> 02:15:06,698
[Bobby] Something's wrong with my monitor.

2831
02:15:06,765 --> 02:15:12,137
[Randy] There's something wrong
with my monitor or there are two Doinks.

2832
02:15:12,204 --> 02:15:15,440
[Jim] Well, I wanna tell you that
those guys had made…

2833
02:15:15,507 --> 02:15:16,908
[Randy] That's a living nightmare
for Crush right now.

2834
02:15:16,975 --> 02:15:20,011
[Jim] Yeah,
they make Doink's life a pure--

2835
02:15:20,078 --> 02:15:23,181
[Randy] Look at this, smoking a cigar,
what is this?

2836
02:15:23,248 --> 02:15:26,051
But Crush didn't have bad luck,
he would've no luck at all.

2837
02:15:26,117 --> 02:15:27,452
[audience cheering]

2838
02:15:27,519 --> 02:15:29,955
[Bobby] Ah, smell it.
Those are good cigars.

2839
02:15:30,021 --> 02:15:31,556
[Jim] Michaels's back in the ring

2840
02:15:31,623 --> 02:15:34,793
and Michaels with that superkick
in the back of the head

2841
02:15:34,860 --> 02:15:36,595
-and hooks the leg.
-[Randy] He got him.

2842
02:15:36,661 --> 02:15:39,998
-[Jim] And Michael is gonna win it.
-[Randy] Shawn Michaels beat Crush.

2843
02:15:40,065 --> 02:15:42,567
[Bobby] Another case of double vision.

2844
02:15:42,634 --> 02:15:44,536
-[Jim] The Doink has--
-[Howard] The winner of this bout,

2845
02:15:44,603 --> 02:15:50,342
and still the Intercontinental Champion,
Shawn Michaels--

2846
02:15:50,408 --> 02:15:54,312
[Jim] Michaels retains
the Intercontinental Championship

2847
02:15:54,379 --> 02:15:59,117
and it looks as if Crush
suddenly seeing double, double Doinks,

2848
02:15:59,184 --> 02:16:01,686
his problems with those clowns
hasn't ended.

2849
02:16:01,753 --> 02:16:05,557
[Randy] I can't believe what we're seeing
here in the King of the Ringtournament.

2850
02:16:05,624 --> 02:16:08,693
Shawn Michaels deservingly
or undeservingly,

2851
02:16:08,760 --> 02:16:11,163
bottom line he kept his belt, Heenan.

2852
02:16:11,229 --> 02:16:14,799
[Bobby] He certainly has done that
and Diesel was not involved.

2853
02:16:14,866 --> 02:16:17,969
He did it with his own determination,

2854
02:16:18,036 --> 02:16:22,240
ability, and the fortitude to forge ahead.

2855
02:16:22,307 --> 02:16:27,012
Ladies and gentlemen, we are standing by
for the King of the Ring Finals,

2856
02:16:27,078 --> 02:16:31,316
"Mean Gene" Okerlund has caught up
with a well rested Bam Bam Bigelow.

2857
02:16:31,383 --> 02:16:32,651
Gene, take it away.

2858
02:16:33,051 --> 02:16:35,921
All right. A couple of things
as I stand with Bam Bam Bigelow,

2859
02:16:35,987 --> 02:16:37,756
you're going to the finals
of the King of the Ring

2860
02:16:37,822 --> 02:16:39,190
against Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

2861
02:16:39,257 --> 02:16:43,428
Number one,
Hart has had two incredibly tough matches.

2862
02:16:43,495 --> 02:16:45,030
First was against Razor Ramon

2863
02:16:45,096 --> 02:16:47,332
and the last one at the semifinalist
against Mr. Perfect.

2864
02:16:47,399 --> 02:16:50,735
Secondly, you got a draw,
a bye in the second round

2865
02:16:50,802 --> 02:16:52,470
so you got to be fresh as a Daisy.

2866
02:16:52,537 --> 02:16:56,408
Fresh as a Daisy "Mean", Gene,
I got some business to take care of.

2867
02:16:56,474 --> 02:17:00,879
I have the opportunity
to be the first King of the Ring

2868
02:17:00,946 --> 02:17:03,949
and I'm going and getting the job done.

2869
02:17:04,482 --> 02:17:08,753
On his way to the ring Bam Bam Bigelow.
Let's get back inside.

2870
02:17:08,820 --> 02:17:10,088
-[upbeat music playing]
-[bell ringing]

2871
02:17:10,155 --> 02:17:11,690
-[Bobby] Here we go.
-[Howard] Ladies and gentlemen,

2872
02:17:11,756 --> 02:17:17,195
this is the final match up to determine
who will be King of the Ring.

2873
02:17:17,262 --> 02:17:21,366
This bout is scheduled for one fall
to a finish,

2874
02:17:21,433 --> 02:17:24,035
upon conclusion of the match,

2875
02:17:24,102 --> 02:17:29,441
immediately following
will be the coronation

2876
02:17:29,507 --> 02:17:33,578
and the ceremony
with the crowning of King of the Ring.

2877
02:17:33,645 --> 02:17:35,914
[Jim] Those first two match
of Bret Hart took a lot outta him.

2878
02:17:35,981 --> 02:17:37,048
I'm going with Bigelow.

2879
02:17:37,115 --> 02:17:40,085
[Randy] Guaranteed, personified fight
the winner of this match

2880
02:17:40,151 --> 02:17:42,687
will becomes King of the Ring
as the number contender

2881
02:17:42,754 --> 02:17:45,156
for the World Wrestling Entertainment
Championship belt

2882
02:17:45,223 --> 02:17:47,559
-and Yokozuna holds that.
-[Bobby] That's right.

2883
02:17:47,626 --> 02:17:49,494
And I'll tell you what
Bam Bam will win this

2884
02:17:49,561 --> 02:17:54,699
and because his knees, his hands,
his arms, his leg, his back, everything…

2885
02:17:55,500 --> 02:17:59,104
is fine. He's in good shape.
Bret Hart, I know his leg is hurt.

2886
02:17:59,170 --> 02:18:02,807
I know the way he hit those rail earlier.
I know his fingers are probably busted.

2887
02:18:02,874 --> 02:18:04,943
He's had wrestler one more time
than Bam Bam.

2888
02:18:05,010 --> 02:18:08,747
I got to put the mortgage, the house,
the kids, the family, the cow, the dog,

2889
02:18:08,813 --> 02:18:11,616
everything on Bam Bam Bigelow.

2890
02:18:11,683 --> 02:18:14,052
[Jim] Bigelow has an hour
and 20 minutes of rest.

2891
02:18:14,119 --> 02:18:16,454
His first match on
and lasted eight minutes.

2892
02:18:16,521 --> 02:18:19,024
Bret Hart has rested only 40 minutes

2893
02:18:19,090 --> 02:18:23,695
and he has wrestled already
here tonight 36 minutes.

2894
02:18:23,762 --> 02:18:27,132
[Randy] Remember the fingers
of Bret Hart are hurt.

2895
02:18:27,198 --> 02:18:29,467
-[Bobby] Look, he's favoring that leg too.
-[Randy] Yes.

2896
02:18:29,534 --> 02:18:32,837
[Bobby] He is one banged up individual.

2897
02:18:32,904 --> 02:18:34,072
[Jim] You see the…

2898
02:18:34,906 --> 02:18:38,677
coronation area
where the King of the Ringwill be crown.

2899
02:18:38,743 --> 02:18:42,247
[Randy] One of these two guys
will get that honor.

2900
02:18:42,314 --> 02:18:44,749
[Bobby] And this can't be a count on
or anything like that,

2901
02:18:44,816 --> 02:18:45,950
there has to be a winner.

2902
02:18:46,017 --> 02:18:49,220
[Randy] One hour time limit,
remember that.

2903
02:18:50,388 --> 02:18:51,556
[Bobby] Bret is favoring that leg.

2904
02:18:51,623 --> 02:18:53,425
-[Jim] One, one--
-[Bobby] A noticeable limp.

2905
02:18:53,491 --> 02:18:57,696
[Jim] One fall to a finish
and I hope that we have enough time

2906
02:18:57,762 --> 02:18:59,397
to bring the fans this match up

2907
02:18:59,464 --> 02:19:02,667
because Hart's last match
went to… Heck of…

2908
02:19:02,734 --> 02:19:04,903
Over about 20 minutes or so.

2909
02:19:04,969 --> 02:19:08,173
So we hope that we have enough time left,
a satellite time

2910
02:19:08,239 --> 02:19:12,644
which I think it's about 25 minutes
to bring you this match in its entirety.

2911
02:19:12,711 --> 02:19:16,981
And Bigelow trying to end it early,
he is well rested as we documented.

2912
02:19:17,048 --> 02:19:19,451
And Hart cannot beat him,
he's fighting toe to toe.

2913
02:19:19,517 --> 02:19:24,556
[Randy] Bam Bam knows that "The Hitman"
has been a through a war.

2914
02:19:24,622 --> 02:19:26,324
He's going right at him.

2915
02:19:28,126 --> 02:19:31,763
[Jim] Bigelow can be methodical
but he's got great agility as well

2916
02:19:31,830 --> 02:19:35,567
for a man that weighs 390 pounds
might as well call it 400.

2917
02:19:35,633 --> 02:19:38,136
Irish Whip, they go left
to right on your television screen.

2918
02:19:38,203 --> 02:19:39,571
Bigelow missed that big clothesline--

2919
02:19:39,637 --> 02:19:43,908
But, oh, he's got him up
and Bret Hart got Bigelow off balance

2920
02:19:43,975 --> 02:19:46,111
and almost end it the right there
with a near fall.

2921
02:19:46,177 --> 02:19:48,113
[Randy] Remember the big matches
that the Hitman's had,

2922
02:19:48,179 --> 02:19:49,647
one against Razor Ramon

2923
02:19:49,714 --> 02:19:53,885
and the other a classic, classic, classic
against Mr. Perfect.

2924
02:19:53,952 --> 02:19:55,653
[Bobby] I'll tell you the winner
of this match.

2925
02:19:55,720 --> 02:19:58,857
The winner of the King of the Ring
will undoubtedly be

2926
02:19:58,923 --> 02:20:02,394
the number one contender
for Yokozuna's WWE title

2927
02:20:02,460 --> 02:20:05,263
and think of that match,
think of Yokozuna,

2928
02:20:05,330 --> 02:20:10,034
550 squaring off against Bam Bam Bigelow
at almost 400 pounds.

2929
02:20:10,101 --> 02:20:11,970
[Jim] Again, we remind you,
we'll stay with one

2930
02:20:12,036 --> 02:20:13,338
as long as we have satellite time,

2931
02:20:13,404 --> 02:20:18,910
if it ends, we certainly have want you
stay tuned for the coronation ceremony,

2932
02:20:18,977 --> 02:20:21,513
the first ever
King of the Ringcoronation.

2933
02:20:22,413 --> 02:20:26,151
And Bam Bam Bigelow almost
took Bret Hart outta his boots.

2934
02:20:27,018 --> 02:20:31,322
[Randy] Well, I got tell you Bam Bam's
got everything in his favor right here,

2935
02:20:31,389 --> 02:20:35,393
it looks bad for "The Hitman"
but it's not over until it's over.

2936
02:20:35,460 --> 02:20:40,465
[Jim] One of these two men
will be the first ever King of the Ring.

2937
02:20:40,532 --> 02:20:42,267
And Bigelow… My gosh.

2938
02:20:42,333 --> 02:20:45,503
He just threw him over the top rope
all the way out on the floor.

2939
02:20:45,570 --> 02:20:47,572
[Randy] I can't believe what… It's over.

2940
02:20:47,639 --> 02:20:50,108
-[Bobby] It's over.
-[Randy] It's not over, but it's over.

2941
02:20:50,175 --> 02:20:51,876
[Bobby] He's not getting up from that.

2942
02:20:51,943 --> 02:20:57,315
[Jim] Bigelow with over a 150 pound
weight the advantage used that strength…

2943
02:20:57,949 --> 02:21:01,853
[Bobby] And he just didn't tip him over,
he launched him.

2944
02:21:01,920 --> 02:21:03,121
[Jim] He launched him is right.

2945
02:21:03,188 --> 02:21:04,422
[Randy] I can't believe the punishment

2946
02:21:04,489 --> 02:21:08,259
that "The Hitman" has suffered
over the period of three matches.

2947
02:21:08,326 --> 02:21:10,228
It's incredible and what did Bam Bam do,

2948
02:21:10,295 --> 02:21:13,498
he went out there and stopped the count,
I can't believe that.

2949
02:21:13,565 --> 02:21:14,999
[Bobby] Don't he ever quit?

2950
02:21:15,066 --> 02:21:18,636
[Jim] Well, Bigelow wants
to add certainly insult to injury.

2951
02:21:18,703 --> 02:21:21,306
He wants to beat this man in the ring.

2952
02:21:21,372 --> 02:21:23,074
[Randy]
I think it could've been over right there

2953
02:21:23,141 --> 02:21:24,542
just like
in the Crush-Shawn Michael's match.

2954
02:21:24,609 --> 02:21:27,312
-[Bobby] Exactly.
-[Jim] Good point. Very good point.

2955
02:21:27,378 --> 02:21:29,314
And look at those headbutts
right to the kidneys,

2956
02:21:29,380 --> 02:21:32,617
right to the lower back area.
Bigelow has a point to prove here.

2957
02:21:32,684 --> 02:21:36,120
He wants to be the number one contender
for the WWE Championship.

2958
02:21:36,187 --> 02:21:37,789
[Randy] Mission impossible
for "The Hitman".

2959
02:21:37,856 --> 02:21:39,791
[Jim]
I wonder if Bigelow could slam Yokozuna.

2960
02:21:39,858 --> 02:21:40,859
[Randy] I… You know what else, Ross?

2961
02:21:40,925 --> 02:21:43,428
Just thinking to myself,
get behind [inaudible].

2962
02:21:44,496 --> 02:21:45,630
[Jim] Irish Whip. Oh, my gosh.

2963
02:21:45,697 --> 02:21:47,699
-[Randy] Man, what does "The Hitman"--
-[Bobby] Did you see that ring move?

2964
02:21:47,765 --> 02:21:48,766
[Jim] Well, it did move.

2965
02:21:48,833 --> 02:21:52,237
[Bobby] The ring moved
about a good two feet away from the steps.

2966
02:21:52,303 --> 02:21:55,773
[Randy] Bad fingers, bad knee
and now his back is bad,

2967
02:21:55,840 --> 02:21:58,610
but his heart is there
and bigger than he is,

2968
02:21:58,676 --> 02:21:59,677
that's "The Hitman".

2969
02:21:59,744 --> 02:22:01,312
[Jim] Bigelow again using that…

2970
02:22:01,913 --> 02:22:03,081
devastating headbutt.

2971
02:22:03,147 --> 02:22:05,683
[Bobby] And Bigelow is stalking him,
he's taking his time.

2972
02:22:05,750 --> 02:22:09,654
[Jim] And he's going for the cover.
And Hart near ropes, smart move by Hart.

2973
02:22:09,721 --> 02:22:11,523
Bigelow hooks the leg

2974
02:22:11,589 --> 02:22:15,226
and referee Jo Marella there
got a two count out of.

2975
02:22:15,293 --> 02:22:17,462
[Randy] I'm gonna go out on a limb now
and I'm gonna tell you something,

2976
02:22:17,529 --> 02:22:19,697
even if the hitman looses
to the beast from the east

2977
02:22:19,764 --> 02:22:21,666
and Bam Bam Bigelow
is the King of the Ring,

2978
02:22:21,733 --> 02:22:24,068
I've got R-E-S-P-E-C-T for "The Hitman",

2979
02:22:24,135 --> 02:22:27,405
realize what he's going through,
cut him some slack.

2980
02:22:27,472 --> 02:22:29,774
[Jim] Bigelow focusing on the lower back.

2981
02:22:29,841 --> 02:22:32,810
He has utilized that big headbutt on
more than one occasion,

2982
02:22:32,877 --> 02:22:34,345
those sledgehammer like blows

2983
02:22:34,412 --> 02:22:37,081
in the kidney area
of Bret "The Hitman" Hart

2984
02:22:37,148 --> 02:22:40,618
who has got to be battling pain
and fatigue.

2985
02:22:41,753 --> 02:22:45,023
[Bobby] Boy, is he gonna be sore tomorrow.

2986
02:22:45,723 --> 02:22:50,395
[Jim] Wait. Oh, my.
What a suplex, landed right on the back.

2987
02:22:50,461 --> 02:22:51,796
Bigelow may have put him away right there,

2988
02:22:51,863 --> 02:22:54,432
that may have been the move
he was looking for, lateral press

2989
02:22:54,499 --> 02:22:56,434
and Hart got the right shoulder up.

2990
02:22:56,501 --> 02:22:58,670
[Randy] Incredible
that he even kicked outta that,

2991
02:22:58,736 --> 02:23:00,605
give him credit for that.

2992
02:23:00,672 --> 02:23:02,340
[whistle blowing]

2993
02:23:02,407 --> 02:23:04,542
-[Bobby] Bigelow can move for a big man.
-[Randy] Yes, he did.

2994
02:23:04,609 --> 02:23:08,046
[Bobby] He knows what he's doing in there.
He's turned into a real ring general.

2995
02:23:08,112 --> 02:23:10,348
[Randy] He's talking to him too.
Look at Bret.

2996
02:23:10,415 --> 02:23:12,350
[Jim] Hart fights back,
caught Bigelow coming in…

2997
02:23:12,417 --> 02:23:13,384
[Bobby] He's done the quick.

2998
02:23:13,451 --> 02:23:15,887
[Jim] …but Bigelow right back
to reassert himself offensively.

2999
02:23:15,954 --> 02:23:18,356
I… Oh, did you hear the impact again?

3000
02:23:18,423 --> 02:23:21,893
Those Irish Whips are…
They are just devastating.

3001
02:23:21,960 --> 02:23:25,330
[Randy] No guts, no glory,
the "Hitman" still in there.

3002
02:23:26,798 --> 02:23:29,133
[Bobby] Maybe Bigelow is taking
a little too much time here.

3003
02:23:29,200 --> 02:23:31,936
-I'd go in for the kill.
-[Randy] Exactly. Exactly.

3004
02:23:32,003 --> 02:23:36,674
[Jim] I've never seen out,
more display of courage

3005
02:23:36,741 --> 02:23:39,978
than Bret "The Hitman" Hart
in my entire life,

3006
02:23:40,044 --> 02:23:44,315
I've never seen a more courageous effort
and if he loses this match,

3007
02:23:44,382 --> 02:23:46,918
you got to respect this guy
with all your heart.

3008
02:23:46,985 --> 02:23:49,520
-[Randy] Absolutely.
-[Bobby] What do you mean if?

3009
02:23:50,355 --> 02:23:51,623
[Randy] What do you mean
if he looses this match?

3010
02:23:51,689 --> 02:23:55,593
[Jim] Another headbutt. Bigelow
is hitting Hart with everything he's got.

3011
02:23:55,660 --> 02:23:57,061
[Bobby] And he's hit him
every different place,

3012
02:23:57,128 --> 02:23:57,996
he's taking him apart,

3013
02:23:58,062 --> 02:23:59,797
he's working on his back,
working on his chest,

3014
02:23:59,864 --> 02:24:01,799
working on his shoulders,
he's got a game plan.

3015
02:24:01,866 --> 02:24:04,335
[Jim] Lateral press leg hook
and Hart kicks out.

3016
02:24:04,402 --> 02:24:05,903
[Randy] The "Hitman" still in there.

3017
02:24:05,970 --> 02:24:10,008
[Jim] It's almost as if he's competing now
instinctively, "Macho Man".

3018
02:24:10,074 --> 02:24:14,579
[Randy] Instinctively was it
take the wind, you'll never know.

3019
02:24:14,645 --> 02:24:17,015
We saw what happened with Mr. Perfect
and the "Hitman".

3020
02:24:17,081 --> 02:24:19,117
[inaudible].

3021
02:24:19,183 --> 02:24:22,487
[Jim] Bigelow bear hugs,
he's squeezing now on that lower back,

3022
02:24:22,553 --> 02:24:24,622
that's been his focus this entire match.

3023
02:24:24,689 --> 02:24:28,793
[Bobby] He's got a bum leg now,
he's got bad fingers and hand,

3024
02:24:28,860 --> 02:24:31,963
now his back's gone,
how much for can this man take?

3025
02:24:32,030 --> 02:24:34,399
He's too dumb to quit, ring the bell.

3026
02:24:34,465 --> 02:24:40,071
[Jim] Look at how small Hart looks
at 234 up on Bigelow's shoulder.

3027
02:24:40,138 --> 02:24:41,572
[audience chattering]

3028
02:24:41,639 --> 02:24:43,741
[Jim] Bigelow, right around as we said
at 400 pound mark

3029
02:24:43,808 --> 02:24:45,810
and this could be over right here.

3030
02:24:45,877 --> 02:24:49,981
He just may not be able
to sustain it any longer.

3031
02:24:50,048 --> 02:24:53,418
[Randy] Referee's checking "Hitman"
right there.

3032
02:24:53,484 --> 02:24:57,622
[groans]

3033
02:24:57,689 --> 02:24:59,891
[Jim] Hart tried a necklock
to get outta it,

3034
02:24:59,957 --> 02:25:02,727
a headlock, and again… Oh, my gosh.

3035
02:25:02,794 --> 02:25:05,263
-[Randy] How much more can this guy take?
-[Jim] That's gotta be all.

3036
02:25:05,329 --> 02:25:06,831
[Bobby] And the way he dumps him,
I love it,

3037
02:25:06,898 --> 02:25:10,101
-because he lifts him way high in the air…
-[Jim] This will be it.

3038
02:25:10,168 --> 02:25:12,036
This will be it right here,
there's no more.

3039
02:25:12,103 --> 02:25:13,404
-He got a shoulder up.
-[Randy] Is the "Hitman"--

3040
02:25:13,471 --> 02:25:15,440
[Jim] Can you believe he got
the shoulder up, I can't believe it.

3041
02:25:15,506 --> 02:25:17,909
-[Randy] Is the guy human or what?
-[Bobby] Bret Hart quit.

3042
02:25:17,975 --> 02:25:21,179
Go to the hospital, get repaired
and put your back together.

3043
02:25:21,245 --> 02:25:23,347
[audience chattering]

3044
02:25:23,414 --> 02:25:27,518
[Jim] Gene Okerlund watching
as we all are, we're so much…

3045
02:25:28,052 --> 02:25:30,888
[Randy] I'm afraid
it's gonna Bam Bam sitting in that chair.

3046
02:25:30,955 --> 02:25:33,624
[Jim] Gene will be involved
in the coronation.

3047
02:25:33,691 --> 02:25:37,528
Everyone,
all eyes directed on the squared circle

3048
02:25:37,595 --> 02:25:39,130
in the King of the Ring Finals.

3049
02:25:39,197 --> 02:25:40,832
[Randy] I'll tell you I'm not happy
with this whole evening.

3050
02:25:40,898 --> 02:25:43,468
Yokozuna is the World Wrestling
Entertainment Champion

3051
02:25:43,534 --> 02:25:47,171
and Shawn Michaels retain
the Intercontinental Championship belt

3052
02:25:47,238 --> 02:25:50,341
and here is Bam Bam Bigelow
with everything going his way,

3053
02:25:50,408 --> 02:25:52,944
possibly to get crown
the King of the Ring,

3054
02:25:53,010 --> 02:25:54,746
Heenan, you gotta be thrilled.

3055
02:25:54,812 --> 02:25:56,514
[Bobby] Bam Bam
don't do something foolish.

3056
02:25:56,581 --> 02:26:00,952
[Jim] Uh-oh.
Oh, Hart, Bret Hart reversed Bigelow.

3057
02:26:01,018 --> 02:26:04,288
Big mistake by Bigelow,
Bigelow tasted the steel.

3058
02:26:05,189 --> 02:26:08,993
Bret Hart now opening up with everything
he's got left on Bam Bam Bigelow.

3059
02:26:09,060 --> 02:26:12,296
[audience chattering]

3060
02:26:12,363 --> 02:26:16,834
[Jim] Again, Bigelow taste,
just taste that steel.

3061
02:26:16,901 --> 02:26:18,569
The "Hitman", up on the apron,

3062
02:26:18,636 --> 02:26:20,538
a clubbing forearm
right in the mid-back area.

3063
02:26:20,605 --> 02:26:23,007
[Randy] Come on,
referee get him in the ring.

3064
02:26:24,342 --> 02:26:28,179
[Jim] Hart rolls back in the ring
and Bigelow now is hurt.

3065
02:26:29,514 --> 02:26:34,919
For the first time in this contest
Bam Bam Bigelow is really, really injured,

3066
02:26:34,986 --> 02:26:37,555
and Bigelow down almost on both knees.

3067
02:26:37,622 --> 02:26:41,859
[Bobby] The tide has really turned here,
but maybe Bigelow is playing possum.

3068
02:26:41,926 --> 02:26:46,797
-[Jim] Oh, he caught Hart, oh, no.
-[Bobby] Oh, my goodness.

3069
02:26:46,864 --> 02:26:49,867
[Jim] He rammed him
into the steel ring post.

3070
02:26:49,934 --> 02:26:54,005
Bigelow caught Bret Hart in mid air
and took him finally to the steel.

3071
02:26:54,071 --> 02:26:57,108
[Randy] One of the most vicious matches
of all time.

3072
02:26:57,175 --> 02:27:00,745
[audience chattering]

3073
02:27:00,812 --> 02:27:03,381
[Jim] Bigelow picks Hart up by the hair.

3074
02:27:03,447 --> 02:27:08,286
It's warfare here and he's gonna…
Oh, no, he slammed right on the floor.

3075
02:27:09,387 --> 02:27:12,190
Due to the thin layer of carpet there
just for the aesthetics,

3076
02:27:12,256 --> 02:27:13,991
there's no padding there.

3077
02:27:14,058 --> 02:27:16,961
[Randy] Bam Bam is playing smart,
guaranteed.

3078
02:27:17,028 --> 02:27:18,396
[Bobby] And go to a neutral corner now.

3079
02:27:18,462 --> 02:27:20,698
Let the referee do the counting,
Quit jawing with him.

3080
02:27:20,765 --> 02:27:23,134
-Come on, start the counting.
-[Jim] Hey, wait a minute, Luna Vachon,

3081
02:27:23,201 --> 02:27:25,870
there's Luna Vachon with a chair.

3082
02:27:26,704 --> 02:27:29,307
Luna Vachon hit him with a chair.

3083
02:27:29,373 --> 02:27:30,942
[Bobby] Have a sit.

3084
02:27:31,008 --> 02:27:32,643
[Jim] The referee did not see it.

3085
02:27:32,710 --> 02:27:34,011
The referee was…

3086
02:27:34,078 --> 02:27:35,646
[Bobby]
I didn't even see her in the building.

3087
02:27:35,713 --> 02:27:37,982
-[Jim] It's over.
-[Bobby] Where'd she come from?

3088
02:27:38,850 --> 02:27:40,551
-[Randy] Like you don't know.
-[Jim] Oh, man.

3089
02:27:40,618 --> 02:27:42,253
-[Randy] You saw what I saw, Heenan.
-[Jim] Oh, no.

3090
02:27:42,320 --> 02:27:43,421
[Bobby] There's not an eye in this place

3091
02:27:43,487 --> 02:27:44,922
that isn't focused
on Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

3092
02:27:44,989 --> 02:27:48,292
[Jim] Don't let it end this way.
It can't end this way.

3093
02:27:48,359 --> 02:27:50,595
He has been too courageous,

3094
02:27:50,661 --> 02:27:53,731
he has been too brave,
don't let it end this way.

3095
02:27:53,798 --> 02:27:55,533
Please don't let this happened.

3096
02:27:56,934 --> 02:27:58,769
Bigelow rolls Hart back in the ring.

3097
02:27:58,836 --> 02:28:02,473
[Randy] It's over.
The fat lady is gonna sing.

3098
02:28:02,540 --> 02:28:05,676
[audience cheering]

3099
02:28:05,743 --> 02:28:09,380
[Jim] Bigelow scoops up Hart.
Oh, a vicious slam.

3100
02:28:09,447 --> 02:28:12,884
[Randy] And look at Bam Bam,
he's not even breathing heavy.

3101
02:28:12,950 --> 02:28:17,788
He knows he's got victory.
There he is top rope the King of the Ring.

3102
02:28:17,855 --> 02:28:20,725
-[audience cheering]
-[Jim] Bigelow up on top

3103
02:28:20,791 --> 02:28:23,594
and there's the headbutt. It's over.

3104
02:28:23,661 --> 02:28:26,964
It's got to be over, one, two. It's over.

3105
02:28:27,031 --> 02:28:28,099
Bigelow has won it.

3106
02:28:28,165 --> 02:28:30,201
Bigelow is the King of the Ring,
I can't believe it.

3107
02:28:30,268 --> 02:28:31,636
[Randy] After everything
the Hitman's been through…

3108
02:28:31,702 --> 02:28:34,472
-[Jim] Wait a minute, wait a minute.
-[Howard] Here is your winner.

3109
02:28:34,538 --> 02:28:36,707
-[Randy] Look at this.
-No! No!

3110
02:28:36,774 --> 02:28:38,276
[Jim] Wait a minute, a new referee's…

3111
02:28:38,342 --> 02:28:40,378
-[inaudible].
-[audience chattering]

3112
02:28:40,444 --> 02:28:44,248
[Jim] The referee is saying no.
Now, what the heck is going on here?

3113
02:28:44,315 --> 02:28:46,017
[Bobby] Forget it. He made the decision.

3114
02:28:46,083 --> 02:28:48,486
[Randy] Listen after everything
"The Hitman" has been through tonight

3115
02:28:48,552 --> 02:28:50,588
to have it end this way
would be ridiculous.

3116
02:28:51,455 --> 02:28:53,457
[Bobby] He was beat anyway.

3117
02:28:54,325 --> 02:28:57,862
[Jim] The referees are conferring
with Howard Finkel, the ring announcer.

3118
02:28:57,929 --> 02:28:59,931
[Randy] They're talking about
Luna Vachon in the outside of the ring…

3119
02:28:59,997 --> 02:29:03,267
[Howard] Ladies and gentlemen,
the referee

3120
02:29:03,334 --> 02:29:06,304
has reverse the decision.

3121
02:29:06,370 --> 02:29:08,539
-[Jim] Wait, no, no.
-[Bobby] No, no. Oh, no.

3122
02:29:08,606 --> 02:29:10,641
-[Jim] Wait a minute that's--
-[Randy] Howard Finkel made a mistake.

3123
02:29:10,708 --> 02:29:13,177
What do you mean reverse the decision?

3124
02:29:14,578 --> 02:29:17,114
-That would make the "Hitman" the winner.
-[Bobby] Let's listen to this.

3125
02:29:17,181 --> 02:29:20,451
[Howard] Ladies and gentlemen,
I stand corrected.

3126
02:29:20,518 --> 02:29:25,723
The referees have ruled
that this match will continue.

3127
02:29:25,790 --> 02:29:27,224
-[audience chattering]
-[Bobby] No, that's not fair.

3128
02:29:27,291 --> 02:29:28,993
-He beat him.
-[audience chattering]

3129
02:29:29,060 --> 02:29:31,529
-[Jim] The match continues…
-[Randy] What do you mean that's not fair?

3130
02:29:31,595 --> 02:29:34,665
If it would've been reversed,
the "Hitman" would already be the king.

3131
02:29:34,732 --> 02:29:36,167
You should be happy, Heenan.

3132
02:29:36,233 --> 02:29:39,170
Howard Finkel made the biggest mistake
of his career.

3133
02:29:40,204 --> 02:29:42,740
I'll tell you everybody is freaking out,
you know why

3134
02:29:42,807 --> 02:29:45,543
because the King of the Ring tournament
is unbelievably important.

3135
02:29:45,609 --> 02:29:48,045
[Jim] You know
maybe it should've been reversed.

3136
02:29:48,112 --> 02:29:49,747
-Maybe…
-[Randy] Yes.

3137
02:29:49,814 --> 02:29:50,948
[Jim] …it should've been disqualified.

3138
02:29:51,015 --> 02:29:52,583
[Randy] That's what I mean,
he got my hopes up,

3139
02:29:52,650 --> 02:29:54,518
I thought that "Hitman"
was the King of the Ring.

3140
02:29:54,585 --> 02:29:55,653
[Jim] But in any event,

3141
02:29:55,720 --> 02:29:58,889
Bret "The Hitman" Hart
is still in deep, deep trouble.

3142
02:29:58,956 --> 02:30:00,291
-[Randy] Look at--
-[Jim] Bigelow continues

3143
02:30:00,358 --> 02:30:02,426
to use that headbutt as a vital weapon.

3144
02:30:02,493 --> 02:30:04,562
[Randy] He's throwing punches,
I can't believe it.

3145
02:30:04,628 --> 02:30:06,964
He threw a couple,
at least he's got some life left in him.

3146
02:30:07,031 --> 02:30:10,301
[Jim] Hart's barely able to stand.
Bret Hart barely able to stand

3147
02:30:10,368 --> 02:30:14,005
and Bigelow just headbutted Bret Hart
right square in the face.

3148
02:30:14,071 --> 02:30:15,106
[Randy] Hep, hep, hooray,

3149
02:30:15,172 --> 02:30:18,909
for the other referee
that came into the ring, finally.

3150
02:30:18,976 --> 02:30:20,111
[Bobby] Hey, it's simple.

3151
02:30:20,177 --> 02:30:22,847
Bam Bam beat him once,
he will do it again.

3152
02:30:22,913 --> 02:30:25,850
Sit back, kick your feet up,
and let's enjoy the slaughter.

3153
02:30:25,916 --> 02:30:28,853
[Randy] I don't doubt that
but I'll tell you something right now.

3154
02:30:28,919 --> 02:30:32,256
At least Hitman's got another chance
but I don't know if he wants one

3155
02:30:32,323 --> 02:30:34,992
-because he's hurt bad. But he's still--
-[Jim] Go ahead.

3156
02:30:35,059 --> 02:30:36,527
[Randy] No, I don't want to go ahead,
you go ahead.

3157
02:30:36,594 --> 02:30:37,895
[Randy] Bret is still fighting to get up.

3158
02:30:37,962 --> 02:30:41,098
[Jim] Bret Hart doesn't know
the meaning of the word quit, gentleman.

3159
02:30:41,165 --> 02:30:42,933
And you both know that hurt very well.

3160
02:30:43,000 --> 02:30:48,339
He will not quit under any circumstance,
no matter how badly he is hurting.

3161
02:30:48,406 --> 02:30:50,408
[Bobby] He better call
[inaudible] tomorrow,

3162
02:30:50,474 --> 02:30:52,877
he's gonna need
about four or five new ones.

3163
02:30:52,943 --> 02:30:56,814
[Jim] Bigelow catches Hart again
in that vicious bear hug,

3164
02:30:56,881 --> 02:31:02,553
a 390 pounder, squeezing and squeezing
the lower back of the "Hitman"

3165
02:31:02,620 --> 02:31:04,889
and then maybe now
just again a matter of time,

3166
02:31:04,955 --> 02:31:08,826
referee Joe Marella checking Bret Hart
to see if he wants to give it up.

3167
02:31:08,893 --> 02:31:11,495
[Randy] How much more
can the "Hitman" take?

3168
02:31:11,562 --> 02:31:13,564
[Bobby] I doubt it
if he knows he's in Dayton.

3169
02:31:13,631 --> 02:31:15,833
Or if he knows he's in a ring or what--

3170
02:31:15,900 --> 02:31:17,635
If he knows
even what he's in the match for.

3171
02:31:17,701 --> 02:31:20,438
He's been knocked
from one side of this building to the next

3172
02:31:20,504 --> 02:31:21,572
and he's still in there.

3173
02:31:21,639 --> 02:31:23,374
[Randy]
People had been counting this guy out

3174
02:31:23,441 --> 02:31:24,542
for a long time,

3175
02:31:24,608 --> 02:31:27,545
and became the World Wrestling
Entertainment Champion,

3176
02:31:27,611 --> 02:31:32,349
I'm not so quick to count him right now.
Come on, "Hitman" just do it, brother.

3177
02:31:32,416 --> 02:31:34,819
[Jim] Bigelow again,
going back to the headbutt.

3178
02:31:34,885 --> 02:31:37,388
That is the move that seemingly
has brought him to the dance.

3179
02:31:37,455 --> 02:31:39,423
And he has used it very, very expertly.

3180
02:31:39,490 --> 02:31:42,493
And now the backbreaker,
Bigelow has Bret "The Hitman" Hart

3181
02:31:42,560 --> 02:31:43,994
over his shoulder
in a submission maneuver,

3182
02:31:44,061 --> 02:31:46,297
the backbreaker
again focusing on the lower back.

3183
02:31:46,363 --> 02:31:48,365
[Randy] Look what the "Hitman"
is going through, Heenan.

3184
02:31:48,432 --> 02:31:50,267
-Can you believe one man…
-[Bobby] No, I can't.

3185
02:31:50,334 --> 02:31:51,836
[Randy] …is taking this much punishment?

3186
02:31:51,902 --> 02:31:54,271
[Bobby] I've been in this great sport
for a long time

3187
02:31:54,338 --> 02:31:58,242
and I've never seen anybody
take a beating like this and not give up.

3188
02:31:58,309 --> 02:32:01,712
Is he insane? What is he going on?

3189
02:32:02,580 --> 02:32:06,550
[Jim] He's going on courage.
He is going on pride.

3190
02:32:06,617 --> 02:32:10,754
[Randy] A second generation wrestler.
Maybe it's in his blood.

3191
02:32:10,821 --> 02:32:13,290
[Bobby] His dad was a quitter,
I know that.

3192
02:32:13,357 --> 02:32:16,127
[Jim] Oh, Bobby that's ridiculous,
that's wrong,

3193
02:32:16,193 --> 02:32:19,396
Bret Hart has endured so much.

3194
02:32:19,463 --> 02:32:21,499
-Oh.
-[Randy] What is he doing? What is this?

3195
02:32:21,565 --> 02:32:24,101
-[audience cheering]
-[Jim] He's reaching down one more time.

3196
02:32:24,168 --> 02:32:27,771
[Randy] Everybody definitely defending
the "Hitman" right now, Jim Ross.

3197
02:32:27,838 --> 02:32:31,909
[Jim] You better believe it.
And, oh, Hart countered with a suplex.

3198
02:32:31,976 --> 02:32:34,712
-[Bobby] I do not believe it.
-[Randy] Unbelievable.

3199
02:32:35,212 --> 02:32:37,882
[Jim] What a counter move
by Bret "The Hitman" Hart

3200
02:32:37,948 --> 02:32:41,352
and he drops Bam Bam Bigelow
right on tattooed skull.

3201
02:32:42,286 --> 02:32:44,321
[Randy] I am mentally
and physically drained.

3202
02:32:44,388 --> 02:32:46,824
And I can't believe
that he's got Bam Bam down.

3203
02:32:46,891 --> 02:32:48,492
The "Hitman" has another chance.

3204
02:32:48,559 --> 02:32:51,195
I don't know if he wants one
but he's got it.

3205
02:32:51,262 --> 02:32:53,998
[Bobby] I don't think he's aware
that he's even hurt Bam Bam

3206
02:32:54,064 --> 02:32:56,200
or nor he even knows where Bam Bam is.

3207
02:32:56,267 --> 02:32:58,736
Bret "The Hitman" Hart is out on his feet.

3208
02:32:59,737 --> 02:33:02,106
He's been hit with a chair,
he's been thrown into the rails,

3209
02:33:02,172 --> 02:33:03,807
he's been thrown to the floor.

3210
02:33:05,376 --> 02:33:08,746
[Jim] Bigelow…
Oh, he went with that big posterior drop

3211
02:33:08,812 --> 02:33:10,714
but nobody there, lucky for Hart.

3212
02:33:10,781 --> 02:33:12,483
[Randy] A sixth sense
to get outta the way.

3213
02:33:14,752 --> 02:33:16,620
[Jim] Bigelow has hurt himself there.

3214
02:33:16,687 --> 02:33:19,823
What a grueling,
grueling tournament this has been

3215
02:33:19,890 --> 02:33:22,393
especially for the Bret,
Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

3216
02:33:22,459 --> 02:33:24,061
[Randy] I don't care
what happens right now,

3217
02:33:24,128 --> 02:33:27,264
whoever wins this King of the Ring
has been one heck of a night.

3218
02:33:27,331 --> 02:33:30,568
But give "Hitman"
all the credit in the world.

3219
02:33:30,634 --> 02:33:31,902
Hey, hey…

3220
02:33:32,703 --> 02:33:35,773
[Randy] Just like Mr. Perfect,
he shook his hand before he left.

3221
02:33:35,839 --> 02:33:37,741
He knew about the "Hitman".

3222
02:33:37,808 --> 02:33:39,877
[Bobby] As I look over my shoulder here,
you don't see it on camera

3223
02:33:39,944 --> 02:33:43,581
but Gene Okerlund is standing
where the coronation is gonna take place.

3224
02:33:43,647 --> 02:33:46,317
The chair is there, the cape is there,
the crown is there.

3225
02:33:46,383 --> 02:33:49,820
He is ready to crown
the new King of the Ring.

3226
02:33:49,887 --> 02:33:52,623
I hope Bam Bam Bigelow fits in that chair.

3227
02:33:52,690 --> 02:33:57,127
[Jim] I tell you one thing,
this one has gone past 15 minutes,

3228
02:33:57,194 --> 02:34:00,297
another grueling marathon
in this tournament.

3229
02:34:00,364 --> 02:34:03,667
Score million to one odds
that Bam Bam is gonna win this one.

3230
02:34:03,734 --> 02:34:06,870
-[Bobby] I picked him from the beginning.
-[Jim] No, you didn't.

3231
02:34:07,871 --> 02:34:10,674
-[Bobby] I certainly did.
-[Randy] Look at this another backbreaker.

3232
02:34:10,741 --> 02:34:14,078
-[Jim] Another backbreaker indeed.
-[Randy] Remember the fingers, the knee,

3233
02:34:14,144 --> 02:34:16,513
"Hitman" is gotta be hurt
from head to toe.

3234
02:34:16,580 --> 02:34:19,984
[Jim] Bret grabbing a hand full of face
there, right in the face.

3235
02:34:20,050 --> 02:34:23,320
He's gotta get outta this thing,
he may have an eye there,

3236
02:34:23,387 --> 02:34:27,324
and back into the sleeper, he countered
into the sleeper did the "Hitman".

3237
02:34:28,826 --> 02:34:29,893
[inaudible].

3238
02:34:29,960 --> 02:34:32,930
[Jim] What a counter move
by the excellence of execution.

3239
02:34:32,997 --> 02:34:36,233
[Bobby] I can't believe this guy,
Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

3240
02:34:36,300 --> 02:34:38,702
He's not right. He's not human.

3241
02:34:38,769 --> 02:34:40,571
[inaudible].

3242
02:34:40,638 --> 02:34:44,174
[Jim] He's got it wrenched in
and Bigelow maybe fading, Randy Savage.

3243
02:34:44,241 --> 02:34:46,010
He may be fading,

3244
02:34:46,076 --> 02:34:50,047
the big man from Asbury Park,
New Jersey, may be going out.

3245
02:34:50,114 --> 02:34:53,050
[Randy] If he would go out
I'll jump straight up in the air

3246
02:34:53,117 --> 02:34:55,319
and hit my head on the top
of the Nutter Center

3247
02:34:55,386 --> 02:34:57,888
and I'll sing
Bret "The Hitman" Hart's hymn,

3248
02:34:57,955 --> 02:35:00,991
but I don't think it's gonna happen,
there is Bam Bam still there.

3249
02:35:01,058 --> 02:35:03,961
-[Bobby] You'll do that anyway, Savage.
-[Jim] Stand down there,

3250
02:35:04,028 --> 02:35:08,265
Bret Hart dropkicked the big man
almost over the top rope.

3251
02:35:08,332 --> 02:35:12,303
And the "Hitman" dumps the 400 pounder
over the top to the floor.

3252
02:35:13,237 --> 02:35:14,405
[Bobby] He's taking it to him.

3253
02:35:14,471 --> 02:35:18,509
He's still got fight left in him,
the "Hitman" is under… Look at this move.

3254
02:35:18,976 --> 02:35:21,345
-[Jim] Oh, my.
-[Bobby] He's nuts, the "Hitman".

3255
02:35:21,412 --> 02:35:23,414
[Jim] He put it all on the line
right there.

3256
02:35:23,480 --> 02:35:26,116
Crossbody on the top,
fist and fire here on the outside.

3257
02:35:26,183 --> 02:35:28,485
[Randy] Where is he getting the energy?

3258
02:35:30,120 --> 02:35:32,956
It's pride, P-R-I-D-E.

3259
02:35:33,023 --> 02:35:36,293
And I've got R-E-S-P-E-C-T
for the "Hitman".

3260
02:35:36,360 --> 02:35:39,263
[Jim] All right.
He doesn't want to win this via count out,

3261
02:35:39,330 --> 02:35:42,066
that's the kinda man he is. Bret Hart…

3262
02:35:42,132 --> 02:35:43,667
[Bobby] You'll win you'll win,
it doesn't matter.

3263
02:35:43,734 --> 02:35:46,403
[Jim] …up on the second rope,
followed by the clothesline.

3264
02:35:47,037 --> 02:35:49,306
-High impact.
-[Randy] Cover him. Look at this.

3265
02:35:49,373 --> 02:35:52,543
-[Jim] He's got it, no, he doesn't.
-[Randy] He didn't get him.

3266
02:35:52,609 --> 02:35:55,279
What if he would've got him
that'd be an incredible, Bobby Heenan,

3267
02:35:55,346 --> 02:35:57,314
would you have shake
Bret "The Hitman" Hart's hand

3268
02:35:57,381 --> 02:36:01,218
-after all he's been through, say yes.
-[Bobby] I wouldn't shake anybody's hand.

3269
02:36:01,285 --> 02:36:03,087
[Jim] Here's side Russian leg sweep.

3270
02:36:03,153 --> 02:36:05,556
-[Randy] Cover him.
-[Jim] Side Russian leg sweep.

3271
02:36:05,622 --> 02:36:07,057
[Bobby] He's not done yet.

3272
02:36:07,991 --> 02:36:09,993
[Jim] The "Hitman" up on the second rope.

3273
02:36:10,861 --> 02:36:13,197
He's gonna try to put him away here.

3274
02:36:13,263 --> 02:36:16,700
The "Hitman" with a bulldog,
he got the bulldog.

3275
02:36:16,767 --> 02:36:19,970
-[Randy] Cover him.
-[Jim] The "Hitman".

3276
02:36:20,037 --> 02:36:23,540
[Bobby] He will get the Sharpshooter,
I don't know, Bam Bam's legs are too big.

3277
02:36:23,607 --> 02:36:29,113
[Jim] He's gonna go up there
with a Sharpshooter, that's his maneuver.

3278
02:36:29,179 --> 02:36:31,782
Can he get it on Bigelow
whose legs are huge--

3279
02:36:31,849 --> 02:36:35,185
-And Bigelow powered out.
-[Randy] Did not work.

3280
02:36:35,252 --> 02:36:37,488
Remember, WrestleMania IX
he almost got it on Yokozuna--

3281
02:36:37,554 --> 02:36:40,224
-In fact, he did get in on Yokozuna.
-[Bobby] Halfway.

3282
02:36:40,290 --> 02:36:43,694
[Jim] Got the powerlift I don't think,
he's executing the Sharpshooter.

3283
02:36:43,761 --> 02:36:45,162
But he's biting Bigelow…

3284
02:36:46,330 --> 02:36:48,198
-and an incredible counter.
-[Randy] Oh, man.

3285
02:36:48,265 --> 02:36:51,001
-[Bobby] This is it.
-[Jim] It's over. And no, it's not over.

3286
02:36:51,068 --> 02:36:51,935
[Randy] He kicked out.

3287
02:36:52,002 --> 02:36:54,371
-[Jim] It's not over.
-[Randy] Unbelievable.

3288
02:36:54,438 --> 02:36:57,107
-[Randy] I can't believe this.
-[Bobby] I quit.

3289
02:36:57,174 --> 02:37:00,144
I've never seen a fight like this
in my life.

3290
02:37:02,045 --> 02:37:05,015
-[Jim] This is amazing.
-[Bobby] Bigelow has done everything.

3291
02:37:05,082 --> 02:37:06,650
[Randy] Give Bigelow a credit too.

3292
02:37:06,717 --> 02:37:09,086
[Jim] What do you think
about the King of the Ringtournament?

3293
02:37:10,220 --> 02:37:13,457
-Oh, Hart caught him coming in.
-[Bobby] What a pay-per-view.

3294
02:37:13,524 --> 02:37:16,260
[Jim] The "Hitman" up
on Bigelow's shoulders.

3295
02:37:16,326 --> 02:37:18,429
-[Randy] Where's he going?
-[Jim] Can he get him in a victory roll?

3296
02:37:18,495 --> 02:37:20,631
-[tapping]
-He's just a feet hook and…

3297
02:37:20,697 --> 02:37:22,232
-[bell ringing]
-[Randy] I don't believe it.

3298
02:37:22,299 --> 02:37:24,835
[Jim] Bret Hart is the King of the Ring.

3299
02:37:24,902 --> 02:37:27,938
-Bret Hart is the King of the Ring.
-[Howard] The winner of this bout

3300
02:37:28,005 --> 02:37:31,308
and King of the Ring,

3301
02:37:31,375 --> 02:37:33,911
-Bret "Hitman" Hart.
-[Jim] "Macho Man", Randy Savage

3302
02:37:33,977 --> 02:37:37,014
in the ring hugging
Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

3303
02:37:37,080 --> 02:37:38,182
What a victory.

3304
02:37:38,248 --> 02:37:42,352
Never in my life had I ever seen
an athletic display of courage

3305
02:37:42,419 --> 02:37:44,188
as we had seen tonight.

3306
02:37:44,254 --> 02:37:47,124
-There is the King of the Ring.
-[Randy] I can't believe it.

3307
02:37:47,191 --> 02:37:48,926
-[upbeat music playing]
-[Randy] I'm shocked.

3308
02:37:48,992 --> 02:37:51,895
I could not believe what he did.

3309
02:37:52,863 --> 02:37:55,532
[Jim] We'll have the coronation,
ladies and gentlemen.

3310
02:37:56,300 --> 02:38:00,437
Don't, don't go away.
Let's give this man his due.

3311
02:38:00,504 --> 02:38:01,371
-[Bobby] Wow.
-[Jim] Let's [inaudible].

3312
02:38:01,438 --> 02:38:03,006
Bret Hart's moment.

3313
02:38:03,073 --> 02:38:05,609
One of biggest moments.
One of proudest moments…

3314
02:38:05,676 --> 02:38:08,479
-[Randy] He deserves that.
-[Jim] …in this man's career.

3315
02:38:08,545 --> 02:38:13,350
[Randy] Heenan, he deserves it Heenan,
doesn't he? Doesn't he?

3316
02:38:13,417 --> 02:38:15,185
-[Jim] Come on, Bobby, admit it.
-[Randy] Bobby.

3317
02:38:15,252 --> 02:38:16,620
[Jim] You've never seen nothing like it
in your life.

3318
02:38:16,687 --> 02:38:18,088
[Bobby] I've never seen a fight like that.

3319
02:38:18,155 --> 02:38:20,224
I've never seen a man
putting that kinda a fight.

3320
02:38:20,290 --> 02:38:22,092
[Randy] Hitman is the King of the Ring.

3321
02:38:22,159 --> 02:38:24,428
[Jim] This is Bret Hart's moment.

3322
02:38:24,494 --> 02:38:28,632
There he is, the Ironman of the WWE.

3323
02:38:28,699 --> 02:38:30,868
-[Randy] Respect.
-[Bobby] He's done it all.

3324
02:38:30,934 --> 02:38:33,203
Tag Team Champion,
Intercontinental Champion,

3325
02:38:33,270 --> 02:38:35,372
WWE Champion, now the King of the Ring.

3326
02:38:35,439 --> 02:38:38,275
[Randy] The first King of the Ring
in the WWE.

3327
02:38:38,342 --> 02:38:42,713
The cape fits him well,
fits him like a glove. Give it to him.

3328
02:38:42,779 --> 02:38:45,415
[Bobby] He's got the cape on,
the scepter on his hand,

3329
02:38:45,482 --> 02:38:46,817
and now the crown.

3330
02:38:46,884 --> 02:38:48,352
[Jim] What a moment for Bret Hart.

3331
02:38:48,418 --> 02:38:50,153
[Randy] Put that crown on him,
Gene Okerlund.

3332
02:38:50,220 --> 02:38:51,054
[Jim] Amazing.

3333
02:38:51,121 --> 02:38:53,857
[Randy] Do it "Mean" Gene, he deserves it.

3334
02:38:53,924 --> 02:38:57,194
[Jim] What a situation.
And there is the crown.

3335
02:38:57,261 --> 02:38:59,596
[Randy] I cannot believe
this moment right here

3336
02:38:59,663 --> 02:39:01,265
-and I'm experiencing it.
-[Jim] The King of the Ring.

3337

[upbeat music playing]

3338
02:39:02,633 --> 02:39:05,602
[Bobby]
I did not give him a chance at all.

3339
02:39:05,669 --> 02:39:07,604
-Not at all.
-[Randy] Unbelievable.

3340
02:39:07,671 --> 02:39:10,641
That's something.
You deserve it, Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

3341
02:39:10,707 --> 02:39:15,145
I proclaim ye, Bret "The Hitman" Hart,

3344
02:39:23,520 --> 02:39:24,955
[Bobby] Wow, what action.

3345
02:39:25,022 --> 02:39:26,723
-Wait a minute, Jerry Lawler what…
-[Bobby] Look at this.

3346
02:39:26,790 --> 02:39:29,493
…what in God's name
are you doing here, King Lawler?

3347
02:39:29,560 --> 02:39:31,495
I'll tell you what I'm doing here.

3348
02:39:31,562 --> 02:39:35,766
I'm here to confront
the pretender to my throne.

3349
02:39:35,832 --> 02:39:40,237
I'm here to tell this impostor
and all of the rest of you idiot

3350
02:39:40,304 --> 02:39:44,508
that there is only one King
in the World Wrestling Entertainment

3351
02:39:44,574 --> 02:39:47,144
and I am the King.

3352
02:39:47,210 --> 02:39:49,012
Do you understand that?

3353
02:39:50,080 --> 02:39:53,283
Out of the goodness of my royal heart,

3354
02:39:53,350 --> 02:39:56,820
I might allow you to be a prince.

3355
02:39:56,887 --> 02:40:01,258
Yeah, that's right, if you right now
in front of all of these people

3356
02:40:01,325 --> 02:40:03,293
and in front of all these idiots.

3357
02:40:03,360 --> 02:40:05,629
Get down on your hands and knees.

3358
02:40:05,696 --> 02:40:09,800
Bow to the real King and kiss my feet.

3359
02:40:09,866 --> 02:40:13,537
-Do you understand that?
-Wow!

3360
02:40:13,604 --> 02:40:18,008
I think you gotta learn,
a lotta nerve for a guy to come out here

3361
02:40:18,075 --> 02:40:21,878
and you didn't even have the guts
or the integrity

3362
02:40:21,945 --> 02:40:23,680
to even get in the tournament

3363
02:40:23,747 --> 02:40:25,182
-for the King of the Ring.
-No, that's not true.

3364
02:40:25,248 --> 02:40:27,718
Where were you when this thing started?

3365
02:40:29,052 --> 02:40:31,088
I'll tell you what I think,

3366
02:40:31,154 --> 02:40:34,891
the only kinda King you are
is the Burger King.

3367
02:40:34,958 --> 02:40:36,760
-[Bobby] Oh, no.
-[audience cheering]

3368
02:40:36,827 --> 02:40:42,566

[Bret & audience] Burger King,
Burger King, Burger King, Burger King.

3372
02:40:49,973 --> 02:40:52,943
[Jim] Oh, my gosh, what a cheap shot.

3373
02:40:53,010 --> 02:40:56,413
A sucker punch from behind
with that scepter,

3374
02:40:56,480 --> 02:40:58,782
he hit him out with that scepter
in the back of the head.

3375

[audience chattering]

3376
02:40:59,883 --> 02:41:04,021

-[audience chattering]
-Here's the king [inaudible].

3378
02:41:06,556 --> 02:41:09,459

3379
02:41:09,526 --> 02:41:12,696
-[audience chattering]
-[Jim] What a dastardly attack.

3380
02:41:12,763 --> 02:41:17,768

[grunts]

3386
02:41:34,351 --> 02:41:36,920
Bret Hart's got to be suffocating.

[audience chanting] Burger King.

3388
02:41:42,259 --> 02:41:44,428
[Jim] I can't believe this.

3389
02:41:44,494 --> 02:41:47,531
[Randy] He's ripping the robe apart,
destroyed the crown,

3390
02:41:47,597 --> 02:41:51,601
and he has destroyed theKing of the Ring,
Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

3391

-[audience chattering]
-[Jim] Oh, I can't.

3392
02:41:54,705 --> 02:41:55,806
[Bobby] But he asked for it.

3393
02:41:55,872 --> 02:41:57,941
He called him Burger King,
he insulted him.

3394
02:41:58,008 --> 02:41:59,443
That's the real King of the Ring.

3395
02:41:59,509 --> 02:42:02,179
-That's the King of the WWE.
-Let me tell you something,

I gave you a chance before,

3398
02:42:07,918 --> 02:42:13,690
but now I'm gonna let you,
right in front of everybody here,

3399
02:42:13,757 --> 02:42:19,429

Randy Savage, I've…

3403
02:42:25,669 --> 02:42:27,871

-[Lawler grunts]
-He kicked him in the face.

3405
02:42:30,707 --> 02:42:34,111
Lawler has kicked… Oh, no.
