00:00Corpus Christi, it's WWF Wrestling Challenge!
00:06Hello everyone, and Happy New Year! I'm Gorillaman Soon, along with...
00:09You got it right, folks! Weasel of 92!
00:12Hey! Pay attention, we're on the air here!
00:14Do you want me to make any resolutions this year?
00:16I mean, once you intend to keep.
00:18Well, for 92, I've decided I'm gonna be a little more outgoing.
00:22Not as holdback as I was in 91.
00:24I'm gonna talk now in 92 a little bit more about
00:27the real world champion, Ric Flair,
00:31who is going to become the WWF champion after Royal Rumble.
00:35First time ever in the history of the World Wrestling Federation
00:38an undisputed WWF champion will come out of the Royal Rumble.
00:43We've got all kinds of action lined up. Here we go!
00:57♪♪
01:07♪♪
01:17♪♪
01:22Kicking off the new year, what a bombshell in the barbershop, Sid Justice!
01:27Talking about big explosions, how about the natural disasters?
01:31Intercontinental champion is gonna be here, Fred the Hitman Hart!
01:35And what is yours is his, and what's his is his.
01:37I'm talking about the Repo Man!
01:39Law and order will prevail with the Big Boss Man!
01:43Let's go down to ringside!
01:46Well, Ray, this is a non-title event, but on January 19th
01:51at the Royal Rumble, the gold will be on the line
01:54as the Hitman puts that Intercontinental title up against the bounty.
01:59Well, he might be in for the, I hate to say it,
02:02the biggest shock of his life.
02:04He's already had that shock.
02:06Not what I hear from Jimmy Hart. I don't want to tip anybody's hand.
02:09I'm not the kind of a guy to spread rumors or anything,
02:12but I hear something bad is gonna happen to the Hitman.
02:15Well, something bad already happened to the bounty.
02:18Spent the night in the cooler in the Big Apple.
02:21You know, he went there after a half hour.
02:23Notice he's wearing a lot more leather now.
02:25He's into leather since spending that night.
02:27I don't know anything about that.
02:29That's what I observed.
02:30I told you what Jimmy Hart told me.
02:32When he went there, they put him in the jail.
02:34Then they realized he was the bounty man, and they let him go.
02:37And they gave him the key to the city.
02:39Yeah.
02:40That's what I hear.
02:41They gave him the key, all right.
02:42It wasn't to the city, though.
02:44Oh, look at that.
02:45Recipient of the shades of the Hitman.
02:48That youngster's got something to treasure for the rest of 1992.
02:53Who knows how long those will last?
02:59He's in great shape, isn't he?
03:01If you want to be a champion here in the WWF, you better be in great shape.
03:05Would you say Ric Flair's in great shape?
03:07I think Ric Flair's in excellent shape.
03:09The next WWF champion will be Ric Flair.
03:12I didn't say that.
03:13No, I did.
03:14I told you I'm going to be a little more outspoken this year.
03:16I'm not going to lay back and keep things inside me.
03:19Ladies and gentlemen, World Wrestling Federation action is coming back to Lowell
03:23on the date of Wednesday night, January 29th, at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium.
03:28You're going to see on the card Sergeant Slaughter in action.
03:30Also, The Undertaker, who no doubt have Paul Bearer with him.
03:34It's the Lowell Memorial Auditorium for live WWF action January 29th.
03:44New tag team sensation here in the WWF.
03:47We're about to talk to them.
03:48The New Foundation.
03:50Brett, good luck to you in the Royal Rumble.
03:52And all the family is against you, Jailbird Money.
03:56Good luck, Brett, because the family's rooting for you, baby.
04:01Got a lot of support, doesn't he?
04:03New Foundation.
04:05Rocket Heart and Jim the Anvil Neidhart.
04:10Who's Rocket Heart?
04:11Owen Hart, they call him the Rocky.
04:13You ever seen him come off that top rope like a guided missile?
04:18Whoa.
04:19No, no.
04:21Well, put the brakes on right at the last minute.
04:24The Hitman did.
04:27That was a nice move by Barry Horowitz.
04:31If I was a Hitman, I would relinquish the Intercontinental title.
04:34You know, I wish you were the Hitman, Bray.
04:36You know why?
04:37You wouldn't be sitting here.
04:40You'd have to belong there somewhere.
04:41Well, that wouldn't be fair.
04:42You want to talk about what's fair to Flair?
04:44No, I don't want to talk about fair and Flair.
04:46No.
04:47Well, it wouldn't be fair to Flair if I wasn't his financial consultant.
04:52What a neckbreaker.
04:54Good leg sleep and neckbreaker.
04:57You just keep rambling on and I'll get the job done here.
05:05Not too long ago, the Hitman, recipient of the award,
05:08Wrestler of the Year, and that award brain comes from his peers.
05:14His fellow wrestlers.
05:15Oh, I thought you said he won it on the pier.
05:17No, he didn't win it on the pier.
05:20What a journalist.
05:23What an insult to the word journalist.
05:27You're too hard on yourself.
05:28Oh, what a backbreaker.
05:31The excellence of execution.
05:33That's the Hitman.
05:36This Royal Rumble, I'll tell you, Monsoon,
05:38all the years I've been connected with this great sport of professional wrestling
05:41and the World Wrestling Federation,
05:43I've never been more excited than I am now
05:45to think that Ric Flair is going to walk out of that ring
05:49the World Wrestling Federation champion
05:51and the real heavyweight champion of the world.
05:54And I'm his financial consultant along with Mr. Perfect,
05:57who is his...
05:59Go ahead, say it. You like to say it.
06:01Executive consultant.
06:04Why don't you think about it this way?
06:06That's fair to say.
06:07Suppose he doesn't walk out of there with a gold.
06:10What happens then, brain?
06:11Is it time to get a new executive consultant?
06:14Is it time to get a new advisor, financial advisor?
06:18I think so.
06:19Well, you can't think that way.
06:20I do.
06:21Well, you can't think that way.
06:22You know, when a team goes 2-12,
06:25it's time to get a new coach, right?
06:28Time to get a whole new team when they go 2-12.
06:30Here it comes.
06:31Sharpshooter.
06:33Step over. Forget about it.
06:34Oh, there goes your back.
06:35There goes your back.
06:37What excruciating pain.
06:40Here's the lovely Mike McGurk.
06:43Here is your winner and Intercontinental Champion,
06:46Brad, the Hitman.
06:50Brad the Hitman looking good.
06:53With two weeks to go to the big one.
06:56Let's go back and take a look at the champion action.
07:00Good hip lock.
07:02Good high hip lock.
07:04Drop kick.
07:05A little bit off the mark, but still got him.
07:07Suplex. I guess the guy does it all.
07:09But he won't be doing that to the Mountie.
07:11Mountie.
07:16Slap and one on the gold.
07:19More important news headed our way in this special report.
07:31This week's special report is brought to you by the WWF Merchandise Catalog.
07:37Where you can find all sorts of great World Wrestling Federation merchandise.
07:41Including these WWF Trading Card Kits.
07:45Now last week on the Superstars of Wrestling.
07:47World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions Legion of Doom.
07:51Defended their title against the Dynamic Rockers.
07:55However, it is becoming increasingly apparent.
07:58That Marty Gianetti and Shawn Michaels are having relationship problems.
08:03So let us go back to last week and that championship contest.
08:34Shawn Michaels.
08:36Drop kicking out of all.
08:39And actually loused up his tag team partner there.
08:43Hey McMahon in the tag team both guys got to do their part.
08:46Now look at Shawn Michaels.
08:47I don't blame him for being mad.
08:50Well this is certainly not going to help things out.
08:52In terms of the distinction that has been growing between the Rockers.
08:56Because they have had their opportunity here folks.
08:59They have had their opportunity.
09:02They have had their opportunity to be WWF Tag Team Champions.
09:06And unfortunately Gianetti screwed it up.
09:09I don't know about that.
09:10Gianetti didn't screw it up.
09:11He got pinned didn't he?
09:13No one screwed it up.
09:15Uh oh.
09:17Shawn Michaels has great wrestling skills.
09:19It just makes him mad that he has to have a partner that can't hold his hand up.
09:24I don't think one individual can blame the other on this.
09:27This is just something that happened.
09:30I don't like to see this.
09:34You really don't like to see this because.
09:36Lay it on him.
09:37Give him another one.
09:38Come on.
09:39They have been great tag team specialists.
09:43And I can't imagine that Shawn.
09:45Oh come on.
09:46Come on.
09:48Look at Gianetti.
09:49He doesn't have a gut to.
09:50Well he did the right thing Gianetti.
09:53Yes he did.
09:54I can't believe how arrogant Shawn Michaels was.
09:57Slapping his tag team partner.
09:58Blaming his partner.
09:59There's no blame here at all.
10:01McMahon you don't understand.
10:03You haven't been inside that ring.
10:05When you have great wrestling skills such as Shawn Michaels.
10:08And your partner.
10:09There's a let down.
10:10Of course there's going to be anger.
10:13Obviously a very distressing situation.
10:15Exists in between the rockers.
10:17And nobody knows to what damaging lengths.
10:20This may go.
10:21However.
10:22There is one team who get massive support from each other.
10:25They stand firmly together.
10:27Way above their opposition.
10:29The huge natural disasters.
10:31And now comes the blockbusting news.
10:34That they have been officially signed.
10:36To challenge the Legion of Doom.
10:38For their WWF tag team title.
10:41This collision.
10:42Will erupt at the Royal Rumble.
10:44Sunday afternoon January the 19th.
10:47And here are comments.
10:48From Animal and Hawk Legion of Doom.
10:51We can beat anybody.
10:54We beat you rockers.
10:55And now.
10:56Natural disasters.
10:57Royal Rumble.
10:58You're ours.
10:59We're going to make Royal Rumble.
11:01Our hunting season.
11:02Natural disaster.
11:03You're going to be our two carcasses.
11:05Looking like a couple of dead deers.
11:07With your tongues hanging out.
11:13Well there you have it.
11:14Every title there is.
11:16In the World Wrestling Federation.
11:18Will be available.
11:20At the Royal Rumble.
11:22Oh what is going down Monsoon.
11:24Legion of Doom.
11:25Putting their tag team.
11:26Championship belts.
11:27On the line.
11:28Against the natural disasters.
11:31The Hitman Hart.
11:33Putting his title on the line.
11:34Against the Mountie.
11:35World Wrestling Federation Championship.
11:37Up for grabs.
11:38Could be one of 30 men.
11:40There's one right there.
11:41That's probably.
11:43One of the odds on favorites.
11:45He'd have to be.
11:47I like the Berserker's chances.
11:49Next to Ric Flair.
11:50If you think about it.
11:51What does the Berserker love to do more than anything?
11:53Throw people over the top rope.
11:55To the floor.
11:56Because he doesn't know how to pit anybody.
11:58I don't believe that.
11:59Make anybody submit.
12:02It's just his style.
12:03Look at that little runt.
12:07What a fountain of misinformation this guy is.
12:10Quick isn't he?
12:16All lined up.
12:17Two weeks and counting right now.
12:20Sunday afternoon.
12:214 p.m. starting time.
12:23Royal Rumble.
12:24At the Knickerbocker Arena.
12:26Albany, New York.
12:28The Empire State Capitol.
12:30Wow.
12:31Pay-per-view brain.
12:32The only way to go now.
12:34You won't want to miss this one.
12:35I'll tell you that.
12:37Another big gun involved in the Royal Rumble.
12:40Here with us right now.
12:41The Barbarian.
12:45Warlord.
12:46We know each other well enough.
12:48But coming to the Royal Rumble.
12:50It will be a fight all the way to the end.
12:53Because I want a title.
12:57He lost his antlers.
12:59What happened to his antlers?
13:00You ask him.
13:01I'm not going near him.
13:03Boy.
13:04Anybody could possibly win this.
13:06All it takes is a mistake one way or the other.
13:09The odds on favorites could all be eliminated.
13:12And a guy like the Barbarian.
13:14Or Virgil.
13:15Or the Berserker.
13:16Or the Berserker.
13:17Could become the next World Wrestling Federation champ.
13:20You know, like my good friend Mike Ditka said.
13:22He doesn't care how good the team is.
13:24He says, I just want some luck.
13:26And that could happen at the Royal Rumble.
13:28You could be the greatest athlete in the world.
13:30Luck may play a very important part in this.
13:33Only one consolation, brain.
13:35When you have those stipulations.
13:37Those kind of rules.
13:38If somebody who really doesn't deserve to be champion.
13:42Should get their hands on the belt.
13:44They won't have it for long.
13:47Well, like Virgil.
13:48It'll take a good man to beat him.
13:50But it won't take him long.
13:51Will you stop?
13:53There it is.
13:54Paul Nelson.
13:55Slapped down by the big guy.
13:57Of course, that won't help him in the Royal Rumble.
13:59It will.
14:00He's the last one in there with an opponent.
14:02He can put him out with him and throw him over.
14:08Look at her.
14:09She eyeing Mr. Wimbledon or not, huh?
14:11Will you stop?
14:13Latest edition of WBF Magazine.
14:15Now available on newsstands everywhere.
14:18Take a look at the guy on the cover.
14:20Barry Demay.
14:21What an athlete.
14:22How about the article inside?
14:23Why big men get all the girls.
14:25I know why.
14:26Yeah, yeah.
14:27I bet you do.
14:28I do.
14:29The O's have been personal fitness weekend.
14:31Mark it down.
14:32February 1st and 2nd.
14:34You want to be part of it.
14:36Pick up that telephone.
14:37Call right now.
14:39Here you go.
14:40203-353-2884.
14:43Don't forget, Brian.
14:4418 and older only.
14:45I wouldn't touch her under that.
14:49Happy New Year, everyone.
14:50The WBF's Ultimate Fitness Weekend is definitely an event in 1992 you do not want to miss.
14:56But your first priority here in Boston is to catch live World Wrestling Federation action
15:00when it all happens in just two weeks.
15:02Saturday night, January 18th at the Boston Garden.
15:05In a six-man tag team battle, the Legion of Doom and Bret the Hitman Hart will collide
15:10with the Natural Disasters and the Mountie.
15:12And in the main event, Ric Flair will battle it out with Hulk Hogan.
15:16Right now, the so-called real world's champion is standing by with Mr. Perfect.
15:20Then we'll hear from the Hulkster.
15:24It isn't enough for you, Hulk Hogan, to have to crawl into the ring with a real world champion
15:30and have Mr. Perfect, executive consultant on the outside, to make sure everything remains perfect.
15:38Hey, Hulk.
15:39What you gonna do, Hogan, when Mr. Perfect and the real world champion run wild on you?
15:48You got no more title?
15:50The Hulkamaniacs are all gone?
15:53Now, big boy, you gotta walk that long, immortal aisle of destiny to wrestle the real world champion.
16:04Hulk Hogan, wherever it is, you'll be mine.
16:10You know something, Hulkamaniacs?
16:12It's kind of funny that after all these years, there's always a rotten apple in the barrel, you know?
16:18Well, Ric Flair, everything is perfect right now, brother.
16:21Because I've got a chance to get the WWF title back at the Royal Rumble, which I'm gonna do.
16:26And I got a chance to get rid of you and Mr. Perfect beforehand.
16:30You know, this is great that he's gonna be the executive consultant at ringside.
16:35Because I got about 20,000 of them behind me.
16:38They're all Hulkamaniacs.
16:39And we're not worried about a thing except luring both you guys into the trap.
16:43Because there's no title on the line, the WWF reputation is not at stake.
16:48And all my Hulkamaniacs want me to do is give you that long, immortal ride down that aisle, brother.
16:55On a stretcher.
16:57So what you gonna do, Ric Flair, when Hulk Hogan and the Hulkamaniacs get a double-decker stretcher for you and Mr. Perfect?
17:07Hulk Hogan collides with Ric Flair in two weeks, Saturday night, January 18th at the Boston Garden.
17:13Make your final plans today.
17:18Listen to this ovation from this capacity crowd here for the big boss man.
17:26Imagine the kind of ovation brain he's gonna get in the Knickerbocker arena.
17:31Imagine if he was lucky enough to become the WWF champion.
17:36I wouldn't have a problem with that.
17:38Well, there would be a pawn shop in South County that would have that belt on the shelf with it.
17:42Are you serious?
17:43He'd pawn it. He'll do anything for money.
17:45He will. IRS told me.
17:53Ed Youngster knows where the truth lies.
17:59Big boss man, got a lot of enemies here in the World Wrestling Federation.
18:03You know you're talking about Flair having enemies in the Royal Rumble.
18:07When that bell rings, and should that ring fill up with 30 men, I mean, it's possible.
18:14It is possible.
18:15But highly unlikely.
18:16But is anybody really going to care about anybody?
18:20Yes.
18:21There's a lot of hatred there.
18:22You don't think that the Macho Man Randy Savage is gonna be thinking and caring about Jake the Snake Roberts?
18:28Or that this guy that's joining us right now won't be thinking about the big boss man?
18:32Big boss man, whether I get you before or at the Royal Rumble,
18:37you can be assured that it's gonna be the end of your corruption and your tax cheating ways.
18:44What a liar.
18:46Well, I wouldn't say that. You'll be investigated if you're blatant, a blatant out-and-out liar.
18:52I'm gonna have somebody check into his tax records.
18:58Look out, big boss man about to unload.
19:01Whoa!
19:03Clothesline City.
19:05Boss man style.
19:07Look how quick he is.
19:09For a mountain of a man.
19:10You know, he can pull you over, take his ticket book out, get 20 bucks, put it in his pocket, back in the car,
19:16gone before the red light goes around four times.
19:18What 20 bucks? What are you talking about?
19:20Because I'm taking them.
19:24Obviously, you haven't had enough, have you?
19:27You're just a glutton, just like a big sponge, ready to absorb it all.
19:33Again, we remind you that the WWF is coming to the Lowell Memorial Auditorium on Wednesday night, January 29th.
19:40The powerful warlord is signed for individual competition.
19:43You'll also see a man making his return to action in the WWF.
19:46Sid Justice, make your plans to join us live at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium on the date of Wednesday night, January 29th.
20:02Whoa, what a forearm shot by the big boss man.
20:06Of course, Hulkster and The Undertaker will be given preferential treatment as far as the draw is concerned in the Royal Rumble.
20:14They'll get to pick between the last ten numbers.
20:17That's not fair.
20:18I think it is.
20:19That's not fair to Flair, you know.
20:21Who cares about fair to Flair? I don't.
20:23I care about what's fair to Flair.
20:26You're the kind of guy that don't even care if anything's fair to Flair.
20:28That's right, I don't.
20:30Well, I don't think it is fair to Flair.
20:31I think what would be fair to Flair would be if the winner of that match would be Flair for the title.
20:35I'm trying to listen to Mike McGurk's announcement here and you're rambling on about fair to Flair.
20:40Give me a break, Gary.
20:41I'll do the announcement for Mike McGurk.
20:43The winner of the match, the big boss man.
20:46Wanna go out with me?
20:49Big bimbo.
20:52Ever since she turned you down, you've been on her case, haven't you?
20:56I've never been on anything with her, a case or any kind of a subject.
20:59You know you haven't.
21:02Bimbo.
21:05Let's go back and take a look.
21:08Here we go.
21:10Big boss man here, gut wrench suplex.
21:13Drives the man right to the match.
21:16Look at this.
21:18Finishes him off.
21:22And the winner, the big boss man.
21:25Right now, let's take a look at the million dollar man, Ted DiBiase.
21:28I like my dad.
21:44Yeah, Sherry, this is the place.
21:46Smells just like it.
21:49I'm sure all of you people have got to be asking yourself.
21:52What would a man of my stature, of my class, be doing in a place like this?
21:57Well, in an effort to bring you the truth and illustrate a point
22:02and teach you what Tito Santana, El Matador is really all about,
22:08I have lowered my own personal standard.
22:10I have crossed the border into El Matadorville
22:14and I am in the very neighborhood, in front of the very home
22:17where Tito Santana grew up as a boy.
22:20Now, one picture is worth a million words.
22:25Feast your eyes on that.
22:30Now, you can tell by looking at this work of art
22:34that there was a lot of time and effort and love put into building this home.
22:39I believe it was built by that famous Mexican architect, Señor Slum.
22:46And what have we here, Sherry?
22:47I believe this is the local shrine.
22:49This is the very bed that Tito Santana slept on as a boy.
22:53Oh, mucho congratulaciones, baby!
22:57Don't touch anything, Sherry. Don't touch anything.
23:01Oh, what a work of splendor.
23:03Just take a look around.
23:04Oh, and listen.
23:06What?
23:07Listen. Do you hear all that?
23:09What?
23:10All the hustle and bustle and activity in this community.
23:13No.
23:14You know that these people must be a very hardworking, industrious people,
23:18much like Tito Santana himself.
23:21And if you think this is bad, you ain't seen nothing yet.
23:27Please, let's go.
23:28Okay, Sherry.
23:29Please, let's get out of here.
23:30Okay, let's get back in the car.
23:31Let's go back to the...
23:32Folks here in Boston and all the surrounding areas
23:34have a lot of action to look forward to from the World Wrestling Federation in 1992.
23:38Do not miss your first chance to see it live in two weeks
23:41when it all starts at 8 p.m. Saturday night, January 18th at the Boston Garden.
23:46Hulk Hogan is determined to find revenge in Boston
23:50when he steps into the ring with Ric Flair.
23:52Keep in mind, Mr. Perfect will be at ringside for that encounter.
23:56Also, Repo Man, he tangles with Virgil.
23:59Let's get more on that match.
24:01Hey, Repo Man, you're always talking real soft
24:05and you're always ducking and dodging and looking behind your back.
24:09That's right. You better look behind your back.
24:11You better have eyes behind your head
24:13because I might just come out anywhere in the stands
24:16and smack you right upside your head
24:18because you tell the people you do nothing but repossession
24:21and you don't lie.
24:22You didn't tell them, punk, you're no good rotten thief
24:25because I'm going to get you back, homeboy.
24:27I'm going to track you down like a dog
24:29and beat you down to the ground.
24:34Virgil, first of all, I want to tell you
24:37I'm not a liar. I'm not a thief.
24:41And I don't steal from nobody.
24:43I just do my job.
24:45I'm the Repo Man and it just so happened
24:49the Million Dollar Man hired me to repossess his belt back.
24:53And now, Virgil, I don't know where I'm going to put this hook on you
24:57but I'm going to put it over my shoulder
24:59and I'm going to drag you right to the junkyard.
25:03Repo Man set to go one-on-one with Virgil.
25:06They meet in just two weeks.
25:08Also at the garden, the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase
25:10will go one-on-one with El Matador, Tito Santana.
25:15Million Dollar Man, pretty upset
25:17because I did not let you finish whatever plans you had for Virgil.
25:22I did it once and I'll do it again.
25:25But now you want El Matador.
25:27You're going to teach me a lesson.
25:29Well, let me tell you something, Million Dollar Man.
25:31Bring it on down
25:33because the only thing you've got to do, Million Dollar Man
25:36is to deal with El Matador head-on
25:38and you're going to find out what happens
25:40to people that meet the Matador head-on.
25:42Hooray!
25:44El Matador, well prepared for his duel
25:47with the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase.
25:49It happens in just two weeks.
25:51Saturday night, January 18th.
25:52It starts at 8 p.m. at the Boston Garden.
25:56The following tag team contest
25:58is scheduled for one fall.
26:00Only two weeks left to the big event.
26:02Currently in the ring.
26:03January 19th, a Sunday afternoon, 4 p.m. starts.
26:07Royal Rumble at the Knickerbocker Arena.
26:10And his partner, Robert Taylor.
26:12Empire State's capital, Albany, New York.
26:15All roads will be leading their brain.
26:18Speaking about bad news,
26:20it's time to announce the winner
26:22All roads will be leading their brain.
26:24Speaking about bad roads,
26:26look at that kisser on McCurk.
26:30How about that kisser on Sherry?
26:33Beautiful.
26:34Hold on, Monsoon.
26:36The building's shaking,
26:38just like the Knickerbocker Arena's going to be
26:41when they crown these gentlemen
26:43New World Wrestling Federation Champions.
26:48Well, when you're the challenger, it's tough, brain.
26:51When you're the champion, it's relatively easy
26:53to hold on to that title.
26:55Only way you can lose it is pinfall or submission.
26:58You can lose the match in a lot of other ways,
27:00but the belt goes home with you.
27:04That's the advantage the champion has.
27:07But I think Legion of Doom's whole offensive attack
27:11won't work against these two gentlemen.
27:14Because they're used to picking people up and heaving them around.
27:17Don't you think they have other abilities?
27:19No, I don't.
27:20You don't, huh?
27:21They deal with intimidation.
27:23That's why they paint those ugly faces,
27:25got those lousy-looking haircuts,
27:27wear spikes, growl, scream,
27:29call themselves Animal and Hawk.
27:31It's all intimidation.
27:33They're not going to intimidate the natural disaster.
27:35How about that despicable Ted DiBiase
27:38down there in some town that he claims was El Matador's hometown?
27:42How about that?
27:43You know what he told me?
27:45He said he's going to buy the hometown of El Matador,
27:48tear it down, and build a slum.
27:52For what?
27:53For Sherry to have somewhere to live in?
27:55Because that's where she belongs.
27:58I'm telling, Monsoon.
27:59Hand me the phone.
28:00Earlier on, words from the natural disasters.
28:03LOD's all yours.
28:05Hurt them, baby.
28:06Let's completely destroy them.
28:08Legion of Doom, you've got a whole lot of pain to look forward to.
28:12The typhoon blast and the earthquake at the Royal Rumble.
28:16We will be the World Wrestling Federation Tag Champions.
28:21Well, it wouldn't be a surprise to too many people, I'll tell you that.
28:25Go, baby.
28:26Beautiful.
28:27You realize there could be three new champions at the Royal Rumble.
28:33Well, there'll be one for sure.
28:36That's right.
28:37The real world champion, Ric Flair.
28:40Now, that's fair to say that, isn't it?
28:42We're going to start again.
28:44What?
28:45Start what?
28:46Forget about it.
28:49There you go, baby.
28:50There you go.
28:51Beautiful, baby.
28:52Beautiful.
28:54What a reverse knife edge.
28:55Just getting the attention of that youngster standing on the apron.
29:02I'll tell you what.
29:03He doesn't have to do too many things to gain people's attention.
29:06He's got the attention right now of Animal and Hawk.
29:09You can bet on that.
29:10You bet.
29:11You bet.
29:14Champions seem very confident to me, Bray.
29:17It's a facade.
29:19They're not going to let you know how they really feel.
29:21They lose face if they ever told you the truth.
29:23We don't want to get in the ring with a natural disaster.
29:26We're going to lose it all probably in front of the biggest pay-per-view audience in the history of pay-per-view.
29:31What are we going to do, Animal?
29:32What are we going to do, Hawk?
29:33Hawk's the bird of prey, you know.
29:35What do you mean the bird of prey?
29:37Hawk is the bird of prey.
29:38Hawk is the bird of prey.
29:39I thought the vulture was the bird of prey.
29:42No.
29:43Vulture's an appetizer.
29:44Oh, the vulture is Sherry.
29:45I forgot.
29:46No, Sherry's a...
29:47She's a dove.
29:48Oh, yeah.
29:49A dove, huh?
29:50A lovely dove.
29:51Yeah.
29:52What a set of feathers, huh?
29:54Whoa!
29:55Oh.
29:58The cooter ground by Earthquake, and it's all over.
30:02Of course, that could easily be Animal and Hawk right there.
30:05A natural disaster.
30:09Let's go back and take a look at some of the action from these two bohemians.
30:15Look at this.
30:16Picture Hawk being thrown around like that.
30:19Picture Animal being suplexed like that.
30:24The end of the Legion of Doom.
30:27And boom!
30:29Brutus the Barber Beefcake coming up in the barbershop.
30:35Brutus the Barber Beefcake.
30:37Now, there's a guy that needs a haircut.
30:39He needs a facial.
30:40He's a lot done to that head.
30:43Didn't you say full monsoon?
30:44Well, I don't know what happened to the rest of his outfit.
30:48Welcome to the barbershop, ladies and gentlemen.
30:51You know, this week, my special guest is one of, if not the biggest and the baddest man in the Royal Rumble.
30:59That's right.
31:00I'm talking about Sid Justice.
31:02No question.
31:03He is the biggest, Frank.
31:05Well, maybe the world of him.
31:06I don't know.
31:07Come on, Austin.
31:08Come on, Brutus.
31:09Look at the size of that man.
31:10You know, when you're stepping in that ring in the Royal Rumble,
31:15and we all know what it's going to be like facing 29 competitors at once,
31:21but what's going to happen if you're left in the ring with a guy like Randy Savage or a guy like Hulk Hogan?
31:29You know, Brutus, it's no secret that me and Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan are all good friends.
31:36And if needed, Hulk Hogan or Randy Savage, you could call on me.
31:40I would stand beside them.
31:42And if I needed either one of the guys, they would stand beside me.
31:46But in Royal Rumble, it's every man for himself.
31:49And that's why I believe that Sid Justice has the advantage
31:54because I've always been a man that needed no sidekick, a man that needed no manager.
32:01I am a man that stands alone.
32:04And that is why Royal Rumble, that is why that justice will be served.
32:12One thing, one thing, big man.
32:14Everybody's wondering about your arm, man.
32:17Is it going to be finished?
32:19Is it ready?
32:20Is it healed?
32:21Is it going to be able to really slug it out in there?
32:23Or is it going to be a little crippling to you?
32:26Is it going to be holding you back?
32:28For two months, I have sat and asked myself the same question.
32:31And I've got one answer.
32:34And that answer is simple.
32:36My arms are both at 100%.
32:38And what does that mean?
32:40That means good for me.
32:42And that means bad for the other 29 participants.
32:46Because I am Sid Justice, and I promise that justice will be served.
32:52One of the odds-on favorites to win it all, the Royal Rumble, Sid Justice.
32:58WrestleMania will explode with action at the Indianapolis Hoosier Dome Sunday afternoon, April 5.
33:04See all the WWF superstars along with some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment.

33:35Hi again, everyone. Here we go with your Royal Rumble report.
33:38We are two weeks away.
33:40Count them! Two weeks away from Sunday afternoon, January the 19th, 4 p.m. Eastern Time.
33:46And the 30-man Royal Rumble, available exclusively on pay-per-view.
33:52Of course, as you know, numbers are drawn out of a hat just immediately before the event.
33:56That's the way you enter the competition.
33:59You start with two men, then another man enters every two minutes thereafter.
34:04The one man who stands alone in the ring at the end of the Royal Rumble is the winner.
34:09Obviously of the Royal Rumble.
34:11But he also becomes the undisputed World Wrestling Federation champion.
34:16Folks, hang on for this one.
34:18Now, as you heard earlier on, there is going to be a tag team title defense for the Legion of Doom.
34:25They are going to be challenged by the Natural Disasters.
34:28But wait, there's more.
34:30An intercontinental title defense.
34:32Breath to hit man, Hart defending against Romani.
34:36And by the way, speaking of tag team action, the Bushwhackers with Jameson in their corner.
34:41Meet the Beverly Brothers with the Genius in their corner.
34:45The New Foundation also squaring off against the Orient Express.
34:50I'm thinking about this 30-man Royal Rumble, anything can happen.
34:54As a matter of fact, let's go back to last year and take a look at this.
35:00Counting down the seconds to another participant here.
35:07Oh, no.
35:10It's Hart from Legion of Doom.
35:14And look at him go to work.
35:16He's nailing everybody.
35:18He's going with it right now.
35:21While you talk about action, this year's participants include
35:25the British Bulldog, IRS,
35:28Hacksaw Jim Duggan,
35:30and this man, the self-proclaimed real world champion Ric Flair.
35:35Royal Rumble, the World Wrestling Federation up for grabs?
35:40Oh, this will be perfect.
35:42What you gonna do when Ric Flair runs wild on you?
35:46I'm already the real world champion.
35:50And for you diehards out there that don't like hearing that,
35:55before too long, you'll have to call me the WWF champion,
36:01whether you like it or not.
36:04Woo!
36:06Plus Virgil,
36:08Greg the Hammer Valentine,
36:10the model Ric Bartel,
36:12Nasty Boy Sags,
36:14and Nasty Boy Knops.
36:16Also, Rowdy Roddy Piper,
36:18Repo Man,
36:20the Texas Tornado,
36:22and this gentleman, Macho Man Randy Savage.
36:25Retribution, yeah.
36:28Vindictive emotion, yeah.
36:31I will get revenge on you
36:34for what you did to Elizabeth Snakeman,
36:37and I'll get my revenge at the Royal Rumble,
36:42because you crossed that line,
36:44and now you must pay,
36:47and you will pay.
36:50Trust me, yeah.
36:55Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase,
36:57Rocker Shawn Michaels,
36:59Rocker Marty Gianetti,
37:01the Warlord,
37:02and Jake the Snake Robert.
37:05Everybody's telling me I better watch out for Savage at the Royal Rumble.
37:08Savage, please don't turn your back on me,
37:11because if you do, I'm going to take your head off.
37:13I told you you should have finished the job.
37:15Me, I'll wait outside your back door of your home,
37:17waiting for you to take the trash out,
37:19because you're just that kind of man.
37:23El Matador,
37:24the Berserker,
37:26the Big Boss Man,
37:28and the Undertaker.
37:31Last evening as I was all alone in my embalming room,
37:36working,
37:37I was thinking about mass burials,
37:40mass burials of the past,
37:42mass burials to come.
37:44The Royal Rumble,
37:4629 fresh bodies.
37:4929 fresh, decomposing bodies.
37:56There won't be much left to bury,
37:59but there will be some things left
38:02for the sacred urn.
38:07The Spercules,
38:09Superfly Jimmy Snooka,
38:11Colonel Mustafa,
38:13and Sergeant Slaughter.
38:15The Barbarian,
38:17Skinner,
38:18Sinjustice,
38:19and this man,
38:21the Immortal Hulk Hogan.
38:23You know something, Hulkamaniacs?
38:25The battle lines have already been drawn, man.
38:27There's gonna be no referee in the ring, man.
38:30The Hulkamaniacs have given me the green light
38:32to go out and hurt somebody.
38:34Do whatever I gotta do to get the WWF title back.
38:37Well, let me tell you something.
38:39In Albany, New York, the Knickerbocker Arena,
38:42if you think Hulkster's intense right now,
38:45wait till you see me in the Royal Rumble.
38:47I don't care about being one of the last ten
38:49to draw the number jacked, honey.
38:51Give me number one, brother.
38:52Let Hulk Hogan take care of business the maniac way.
38:55In one given night,
38:57I'll beat up the whole WWF
39:00to get my WWF title back.
39:02What you gonna do, WWF,
39:04when Hulk Hogan and my maniacs
39:06rumble for the title
39:08all over you?
39:12It all comes down to this, ladies and gentlemen.
39:14It's conceivable any one of those 30 men
39:17could win the Royal Rumble
39:19and become the undisputed
39:21World Wrestling Federation champion.
39:23The countdown is underway.
39:25We are two weeks away.
39:27Call your local cable company right now
39:29and then cinch him up
39:31and get ready for Sunday,
39:33January 19th,
39:35at the Royal Rumble.
39:40Everybody talking about it.
39:42Everybody wondering what's gonna happen Sunday afternoon.
39:45Two weeks away now.
39:47January 19th, the Royal Rumble,
39:49Knickerbocker Arena,
39:51Albany, New York.
39:53Someone will become the undisputed
39:55World Wrestling Federation champion.
39:57This guy right here,
39:59Mr. Repo, could be that man.
40:01Here is Repo Man.
40:05Imagine about 2 a.m. in the morning,
40:07your two payments behind on your
40:0959 DeSoto.
40:11He comes in the neighborhood to take it from you.
40:13He loves his work.
40:18Repo Man.
40:21What would happen if him and Virgil
40:23wind up in the Royal Rumble?
40:25The first two. Let's say they were the first two
40:27into the ring. That would be interesting,
40:29wouldn't it? Hey,
40:31what if the Nasties drew one and two?
40:33Well, then they'd be the first two in there, wouldn't they?
40:35Wouldn't that be something? And let's say they were
40:37the last two. You know, I mean, so many
40:39things could happen, Frank. I think they
40:41would just sit there and wait for the two
40:43minutes and see who drew number three.
40:45That'd be the smartest way. Then just keep
40:47heaving them out until you're the last two
40:49in there. And then flip a coin?
40:51No. Then what you do is
40:53you tell your partner.
40:55No, you say, who's coming out now?
40:57And when he turns to the dressing room,
40:59you nail from behind as hard as you can.
41:01Right. You become WWF
41:03champion. They're idle
41:05friends, you know.
41:07Low's lying down to the concrete.
41:09This guy's
41:11well over that 300 pound mark.
41:13Looks very deceiving, but a real
41:15powerhouse.
41:17He'll have to deal with
41:19the likes of 29 others. One
41:21of them is this guy.
41:23Hey, Repo Man, if you want to repossess
41:25something, bring it on down to Royal Rumble
41:27and try to repossess this. Because
41:29I hope I'm number one. And guess
41:31what? I pray. I pray
41:33that you're number two.
41:35I'm gonna stop you on the way to get the World
41:37Wrestling Federation title.
41:39Right on, Virgil. Repo it is.
41:41I like that.
41:45You had a problem with that, Dream?
41:47You know, the Lone Ranger owed Tyler 50 bucks.
41:49And he went out and got the mask.
41:51Yeah, how many people know that?
41:53He doesn't have a whole lot of money tied up
41:55in his drinkware, does he?
41:57He likes to work at night. Yeah. He likes it when it's
41:59real dark. So does second starring guys.
42:01Well,
42:03look at this.
42:05Kind of unorthodox boots he's wearing,
42:07isn't it? Everything he does
42:09is unorthodox. That's what makes him so
42:11hard to beat.
42:13Going to work now, on the leg,
42:15on the knee.
42:17Right on the...
42:19What is it? The kneecap?
42:21It's the lateral shinbone.
42:23The patella.
42:25Yeah, one of his
42:27four floating bones in the body.
42:29You got a few more floating ones,
42:31Frank, but they're all upstairs in your cranium.
42:35Repo tying him up
42:37here. I want to see more of this.
42:39Let's see the replay. We're not going to have a
42:41replay on this one. But I want to see it. No, we're not
42:43going to have it. That's not fair. You know why we're not
42:45going to have it? Why? Because you want to see it.
42:47That's why. Well, that's not fair. If Flair wanted
42:49to see it, we'd see it. You'd have to be fair to
42:51Flair. Oh, don't start with that again.
42:53You want to be fair to Flair? Please.
42:55Sean, if you don't want to be fair to Flair, don't do
42:57it then. Repo man wrapping
42:59it up there. He's going to be the World Wrestling
43:01Federation champion. That's what's going to be
43:03fair. You might say that Sonny Blaze
43:05is all tied up.
43:07Oh, look
43:09at that. Knocked the wiener
43:11right out of him.
43:13Take a look. Guess what's coming.
43:15It's the event center. Here we go.
43:17You want to be fair about it.
43:19A lot of questions have already surfaced here in the
43:21WWF concerning the new year.
43:23For example,
43:25in two weeks, Saturday night, January 18th
43:27at the Boston Garden, will Hulk Hogan
43:29even the score with Ric Flair?
43:31And who will survive
43:33intense action when the Legion of Doom
43:35and Bret the Hitman Hart face the natural
43:37disasters and the Mountie?
43:39Jack Tunny, L.O.D.,
43:41and Bret the Hitman Hart.
43:43You guys are working together
43:45to protect those belts, but you
43:47can't protect yourselves from us.
43:49And he's the real sucker.
43:51Bret the Hitman Hart, you stay
43:53still a little bit of the Mountie.
43:55Well, let me tell you something. You're not
43:57going to hide behind L.O.D. all night
43:59because these two men,
44:01the natural disasters,
44:03and I, the Mountie,
44:05will prevail.
44:09Jimmy Hart, Earthquake,
44:11Typhoon, and Mountie.
44:13Take heed right here.
44:15You've got the world champions and the
44:17excellence of execution.
44:19The Intercontinental Champion coming at you
44:21strong. Tell them, Hitman.
44:23That's right. Mountie, you went too far
44:25last time when you tried to electrocute me.
44:27Pretty close to attempt
44:29and murder. This time, I got two
44:31sharks. I'm a barracuda.
44:33And as far as I'm concerned, you're two whales
44:35and a squid.
44:37Hitman, you're one sick puppy.
44:39Barracudas, they're
44:41known for their slashing teeth.
44:43And sharks, they're known
44:45for taking big, fat
44:47bites on a thing and
44:49swallowing it
44:51bit by bit.
44:53Three of the most skilled
44:55athletes in the WWF joining forces
