00:00:50Bobby the brain heenan and mr. Perfect and gentlemen, there's no doubt New Year's Eve

00:00:56The 30 competitors competing in the Royal Rumble each individual made his own New Year's resolution gorilla certainly did

00:01:04I can tell you right off the top of my head what the Hulksters was and that was to be five-time

00:01:08Holder of the WWF title never before done in the history of the World Wrestling Federation

00:01:13They all have their opportunity all 30 competitors on January 19. That's Sunday afternoon World Wrestling Federation history

00:01:21Unquestionably will be you know, if you listen to me what I said last time I said, I'm gonna make a New Year's resolution

00:01:27I'm not gonna hold back. I'm not gonna be quiet. I'm gonna be a little more outgoing

00:01:31I'm gonna talk more about the real world champion Ric Flair. He's a man that children can look up to

00:01:36He's a man that's gonna be world wrestling. What please let's get if you're gonna have a your New Year's resolution

00:01:41Oh, I'm talking about Ric Flair the real world

00:01:48He's a man that children can look up

00:01:51To be competing in the Royal Rumble right now

00:02:21Dedicated man to his profession. Oh very tough extremely tough chalked up some great victory

00:02:29He doesn't care about

00:02:48Top contenders

00:02:52On the top rung of the ladder

00:02:54Looking down on the man from the Everglades

00:02:56Should be a great matchup

00:02:58Former million dollar thief may I add

00:03:00You mean former million dollar champion

00:03:02Well you know he stole that title

00:03:04He stole the belt

00:03:06Don't get on my case now

00:03:08You know what happened at Survivor Series Showdown

00:03:10Oh do I

00:03:12The Repo Man coming in

00:03:14And nailing Virgil with his very own championship belt

00:03:16But you understand the Repo Man

00:03:18Was working for Mr. Virgil

00:03:20Was working for Mr. DiBiase

00:03:22DiBiase paid him so much

00:03:24To get back what belongs to him

00:03:28Virgil ready to throw the rights and left

00:03:30Referee warning Virgil

00:03:32About to clench fists

00:03:34Speaking of

00:03:36Rumors

00:03:38As we were speaking with Bobby Heenan a little bit earlier on

00:03:40Alfred there's a rumor going around that

00:03:42You may attempt a comeback

00:03:44Any validity to that

00:03:46I don't think there's any validity to that

00:03:48When I watch these fighters today

00:03:50They are nowhere in their class

00:03:52And just look at Virgil there

00:03:54He's enjoying a tremendous run of success

00:03:56Recently

00:03:58Indeed

00:04:00Former million dollar champion

00:04:02Unquestionably however a champion in many people's minds

00:04:04And certainly in his own

00:04:06What a competitor Virgil has turned out to be

00:04:08Meanwhile Skinner

00:04:10On the outside collecting his thoughts a bit

00:04:14What a dastardly individual this Skinner is

00:04:16Uncountable

00:04:18Skewing forth with that

00:04:20Isn't that awful?

00:04:22That is terrible

00:04:26Virgil and Skinner mixing it up here in Madison Square Garden

00:04:32Oh my goodness

00:04:34Yes

00:04:36One thing

00:04:38Bad enough to be in the ring with a man like Skinner

00:04:40But if he ever takes that snuff can

00:04:42Or whatever you'd call it and throws it on you

00:04:44Do you want me to get it?

00:04:46No thanks

00:04:48I'll get it for you if you like

00:04:52The guy just likes a little dip here and there

00:04:54Doesn't bother anybody

00:04:58Standing side headlock here with Virgil

00:05:00Grinding it out on Skinner

00:05:02Trying to set him up now

00:05:04Virgil for the ride off the rope

00:05:06Lowers his shoulder nicely done

00:05:08Back to the rope now over Skinner

00:05:10Virgil coming right back to him and

00:05:12Skinner high in the air

00:05:14Down across the knee of Virgil

00:05:16Virgil now standing side headlock

00:05:18What's he going to do with it?

00:05:20Grinding it out a bit

00:05:22Virgil push to the corner

00:05:24And Skinner moving in now

00:05:26Virgil had an opportunity to take him over

00:05:28Take him down did not at that moment

00:05:30And right now it looks like

00:05:32He's going to be paying for it for a moment here

00:05:34On the rod yes

00:05:36Up

00:05:38Nice counter

00:05:40By Skinner

00:05:42He certainly is he's a thinking man

00:05:44All the time Vince

00:05:46He always does his homework on his opposition

00:05:48And it certainly looks in this case

00:05:50As he has done that on Virgil

00:05:52Skinner from the Everglades

00:05:58I don't know

00:06:00What this man is likely to do

00:06:02Very unorthodox at the same time

00:06:04Possessing tremendous wrestling

00:06:06Technique from time to time

00:06:08Display all sorts of

00:06:10Different integrated techniques

00:06:12Yes he does Vince he has a knack of being

00:06:14Able to mix up those fine wrestling skills

00:06:16With a lot of primitive motion as well

00:06:18And it's been very successful for him

00:06:20He's very impressive indeed

00:06:24And I'm sure at the moment

00:06:26Virgil is thinking that

00:06:28Now going to the outside

00:06:30Skinner to make sure Virgil

00:06:32Has not come back in at the moment

00:06:34This man is brutal

00:06:36He certainly is Vince

00:06:38And the referees have a difficult job controlling him

00:06:40He knows just how far he can bend the rules

00:06:42And he really takes it to the maximum

00:06:44As far as that's concerned

00:06:46Virgil needs just a little bit more focus

00:06:48Virgil

00:06:50Former street fighter more than anything else

00:06:52Of course hired many many years ago

00:06:54By the million dollar man Ted DiBiase

00:06:56To be a bodyguard he was the greatest bodyguard

00:06:58Perhaps in history and look what kind of a rustler

00:07:00He's turned out to be

00:07:02Oh no

00:07:04Oh

00:07:10Virgil

00:07:12Going for it all

00:07:14Went flying through the ropes

00:07:16And I would suspect

00:07:18This one's all over

00:07:20I don't think Virgil will beat the count

00:07:22Oh look at this

00:07:24I guess that's the way to have a respite down in the Everglades

00:07:26There's Virgil back to his feet

00:07:30And right back in

00:07:32This is it

00:07:34That's how he finishes off the game

00:07:36He's got him

00:07:38He's got him

00:07:40We have one we have two

00:07:42And look out referee the foot's on the rope

00:07:44See I could have counted to eight by now

00:07:46Oh sure you could have

00:07:48The referee was in the position

00:07:52My goodness look at that by Skinner

00:07:56What is Skinner going to do with Virgil now

00:07:58Again wide open with the leg

00:08:00Working on the hamstring area now

00:08:02Snaps it back over

00:08:04Alfred have you ever been to the Everglades

00:08:06No I haven't Vince

00:08:08I've been to Florida but the Everglades really hasn't fascinated me

00:08:14If this fellow comes from the Everglades

00:08:16I don't really want to go there

00:08:18For fear of meeting somebody like him

00:08:20I'm sure he has lots of kin

00:08:22As he would say down back home

00:08:24Setting up Virgil now

00:08:26Coming off the ropes Skinner back

00:08:28A shoved in a rope

00:08:30Look at that

00:08:32Skinner with the elbow again

00:08:34Striking the butt of the jaw of Virgil

00:08:36And Skinner really doing a number at the moment

00:08:38On Virgil hooks him over now

00:08:40Referee way out of position

00:08:42Count of two

00:08:44A slow count

00:08:46And from my vantage point it looks to me

00:08:48Like Skinner had something to gripe about there

00:08:50The referee first of all way out of position

00:08:52Had he not been quite as rotund

00:08:54He may have gotten into position a little earlier

00:08:56I must agree with that Vince

00:09:00And now to the rope heading right back off

00:09:02And look at this he may get him

00:09:04One, two, yes

00:09:06He gets him, alright

00:09:10And Virgil gets out of dodge

00:09:12Victorious

00:09:20Virgil

00:09:22Here is your winner

00:09:24Virgil

00:09:34Alright we'll go back and take a look

00:09:36Bobby Eden

00:09:38Off the rope

00:09:40Standing up with a back body drop

00:09:42But pulled him right over with the hips

00:09:44Perfect position

00:09:50It's the World Wrestling Federation

00:10:38The Immortal Hulk Hogan

00:10:40Among those on a dynamic card in Fort Myers

00:10:42It's the World Wrestling Federation

00:10:44Be a part of it live when it comes to your area

00:10:46Did Jack Tunny make a

00:10:48fair, unbiased decision

00:10:50by allowing Hulk Hogan and

00:10:52The Undertaker in the Royal Rumble

00:10:54to draw from numbers 20

00:10:56through 30? Or was

00:10:58he showing a bit of favoritism and if so

00:11:00why, Gorilla? I don't think

00:11:02he was showing any favoritism.

00:11:04I think he unquestionably was. But I think

00:11:06it's justifiable. Here's the last two

00:11:08guys to hold that coveted title

00:11:10and how about if it

00:11:12weren't for Ric Flair sticking his nose in

00:11:14where it didn't belong. I think

00:11:16if preferential treatment is given to the Hulkster

00:11:18and The Undertaker, then Jack

00:11:20Tunny should have made another stipulation

00:11:22saying that Ric Flair gets number one.

00:11:24Ah, no.

00:11:26It's fine. I don't like that idea.

00:11:28I think it's fine. You're the consultant.

00:11:30It doesn't matter. I've talked it over. I

00:11:32am the executive consultant. But you don't believe that, though.

00:11:34Yes, I do believe that because it's never

00:11:36been done before where one man has

00:11:38chosen number one and gone through the

00:11:40whole Royal Rumble and came out the

00:11:42winner. Ric Flair, if he does that

00:11:44and when he does that, then

00:11:46you will all know that he is the real world

00:11:48champion and then he will be the

00:11:50WWF champion.

00:11:52You're a liar.

00:11:54I've never lied in my life.

00:11:56Here's the most important fact that we've got to

00:11:58look at and that is that Hulk Hogan

00:12:00and The Undertaker are both the most

00:12:02recent champions.

00:12:04Therefore, the president made the right decision.

00:12:06And really, I don't think you

00:12:08honestly, you're just putting us on here about

00:12:10Ric Flair because if in fact,

00:12:12if you really believe that, then why don't you ask Jack Tunney

00:12:14for a special dispensation?

00:12:16I will. Give me the phone. I'll call him right now.

00:12:18I think the phone's going to be busy right now because

00:12:20I think, Reverend,

00:12:22why don't you pick up the phone and...

00:12:24Oh, you want to play a Hulk Hogan phone game instead of

00:12:26letting me talk to Hulk Hogan?

00:12:28What's more important?

00:12:30I mean, Jack Tunney.

00:12:32You don't even know who you want to talk to.

00:12:34...Hulkster's daily personal message.

00:12:36Why don't you do so by dialing 1-900-454-HULK

00:12:38And remember,

00:12:40it's $1.49 for the first minute

00:12:42and 99 cents for each additional minute.

00:12:44Kids, make sure you get your parents'

00:12:46permission before you dial.

00:12:48We spoke earlier of the Hulkster

00:12:50and The Undertaker. Well, now let's take

00:12:52you to some action involving

00:12:54one of the individuals who has been

00:12:56seated by Jack Tunney. Here is

00:12:58The Undertaker.

00:13:00The following contest is scheduled

00:13:02for one fall. Introducing currently

00:13:04in the ring...

00:13:06Weighing in at 230 pounds,

00:13:08Richie Garvin.

00:13:10Richie Garvin.

00:13:12A little bit of a

00:13:14anticipatory look on his face.

00:13:16Look out for this.

00:13:18Look like he has an acne problem there, Charles.

00:13:20It's a concern with his skin.

00:13:22I was looking at the expression

00:13:24on his face. He's...

00:13:26I'd like to see the expression

00:13:28on your face, Sean, if you were standing in the ring

00:13:30waiting for this adversary.

00:13:32I'll tell you what, you'd never find me in the ring

00:13:34waiting to take on The Undertaker.

00:13:36He is

00:13:38an incredible individual.

00:13:42You can never tell

00:13:44what he's thinking. That expression

00:13:46never changes.

00:13:48That cold,

00:13:50discerning

00:13:52look

00:13:54frightens everyone here in the arena,

00:13:56including us.

00:13:58Yeah.

00:14:00I have to imagine he is getting a bit excited, though,

00:14:02isn't he?

00:14:04Yeah.

00:14:06Yeah.

00:14:08Yeah.

00:14:10Yeah.

00:18:04Yeah.

00:18:06Yeah.

00:18:08Yeah.

00:18:10Yeah.

00:18:12Yeah.

00:18:14Last week on the Superstars of Wrestling, World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions

00:18:18Legion of Doom defended their title against the Dynamic Rockers, however, it is becoming

00:18:24increasingly apparent that Marty Janetti and Shawn Michaels are having relationship problems.

00:18:32So let us go back to last week and that championship contest.

00:19:03Shawn Michaels, trot-kicking out of all trots, and that's the last of his tag team partner there.

00:19:13Yes, and McMahon and the tag team, both guys got to do their part.

00:19:17Now look at Shawn Michaels, I don't blame him for being mad.

00:19:20Well, this is certainly not going to help things out in terms of the distinction that has been growing between the Rockers

00:19:27They have had their opportunity here, folks.

00:19:30They have had their opportunity to be WWF Tag Team Champions, and unfortunately, Janetti screwed it up.

00:19:37I don't know about that. Janetti didn't screw it up.

00:19:39He got pinned, didn't he?

00:19:41No one screwed it up.

00:19:43Uh-oh.

00:19:45Shawn Michaels has great wrestling skills, it just makes him mad that he has to have a partner that can't hold his hand up.

00:19:52I don't think one individual can blame the other on this.

00:19:55This is just something that happened.

00:19:57Oh!

00:19:59I like to see this.

00:20:01You really don't like to see this because...

00:20:04Lay it on him, give him another one!

00:20:06Come on, they have been great tag team specialists, and I can't imagine that Shawn...

00:20:13Oh, come on! Come on!

00:20:16Look at Janetti, he doesn't have a gut to...

00:20:18Well, he did the right thing, Janetti.

00:20:21Yes, he did.

00:20:22I can't believe how arrogant Shawn Michaels was, slapping his tag team partner, blaming his partner.

00:20:28There's no blame here at all.

00:20:30McMahon, you don't understand. You haven't been inside that ring.

00:20:33When you have great wrestling skills such as Shawn Michaels and your partner, there's a letdown.

00:20:39Of course, there's going to be anger.

00:20:41Obviously, a very distressing situation exists in between the rockers.

00:20:46And nobody knows to what damaging lengths this may go.

00:20:50However, there is one team who get massive support from each other.

00:20:54They stand firmly together, way above their opposition, the huge natural disasters.

00:21:00And now comes the blockbusting news that they have been officially signed to challenge the Legion of Doom for their WWF tag team title.

00:21:09This collision will erupt at the Royal Rumble, Sunday afternoon, January the 19th.

00:21:16Here are comments from Animal on Hawk, Legion of Doom.

00:21:20We continue to prove we can beat anybody. We beat you rockers.

00:21:24And now, natural disasters, Royal Rumble, you're ours.

00:21:28We're going to make Royal Rumble our hunting season.

00:21:31Natural disaster, you're going to be our two carcasses, looking like a couple of dead deers with your tongues hanging out.

00:21:40This contest is scheduled for one fall.

00:21:42Introducing currently in the ring, from St. Petersburg, Florida, weighing 230 pounds, Barry Horowitz.

00:21:51Yes, I see Barry Horowitz has changed a bit.

00:21:56He's patted himself on the back so many times, he has an imprint on the back of his jacket.

00:22:02But we want to hold him.

00:22:04Bret the Hitman Hart receives enough accolades.

00:22:10He doesn't need to pat himself on the back.

00:22:13Chosen the best wrestler of 1991 by his peers.

00:22:19And what an honor that is.

00:22:21He also happens to be the reigning intercontinental champion.

00:22:25And one of the most skilled superstars ever in the history of the WWF.

00:22:31A most deserving award that to Bret Hart, wrestler of the year.

00:22:37And he could have been wrestler of the last three or four years, as far as my money is concerned.

00:22:41A great, great wrestler indeed.

00:22:44And I think we're going to be privileged here today to see Bret Hart, once again, go through his paces and show us just how good he is.

00:22:54Barry Horowitz already complaining.

00:22:57Ah, here's a little Bret Hart fan.

00:23:03You will long remember that encounter with the Hitman.

00:23:10Now he's ready for action.

00:23:12Yes, he took his time there in the beginning.

00:23:14And Horowitz, a little nervous.

00:23:17And it showed when he was demonstrating when Hart jumped out of the ring.

00:23:23Set-up, side headlock.

00:23:25Horowitz looking for a handle here.

00:23:28Almost looking for words.

00:23:30Yes, there we go.

00:23:32There's the ropes.

00:23:34Big shoulder block.

00:23:37Steps across.

00:23:39Horowitz tries a hip toss.

00:23:41He's the one that falls victim to it.

00:23:45The Hitman's so quick.

00:23:49He is very, very quick.

00:23:51That's blazing speed he was using there.

00:23:54But with that also, he combines such great power compacted into that body.

00:24:00I have never seen a superstar like Alfred Hayes, and you may agree with me on this, who can turn a negative into a positive so quickly.

00:24:08Yes, I've got to agree.

00:24:09Boy, your New Year's resolution is really going well, is it not?

00:24:13Agreeing on everything.

00:24:15Surely I must find something to argue with you shortly.

00:24:18It's a long year.

00:24:20Lord Alfred Hayes.

00:24:24Harry Horowitz.

00:24:27Out of reach now.

00:24:29He cannot get a hold of the Hitman.

00:24:32Backs the Intercontinental Champion into the ropes.

00:24:35Backs the Intercontinental Champion into the ropes.

00:24:40And gets just enough space to fire that elbow back.

00:24:48Trying to take control now.

00:24:49You're going to say, I got him.

00:24:50Not for long.

00:24:56Let's talk about some height on that atomic drop.

00:24:59And the snap to that clothesline.

00:25:02Looks like it may already be over for Harry Horowitz.

00:25:08I don't think so.

00:25:09I think Brett may toy with him just a little further.

00:25:11He likes to play with these fellows.

00:25:13He has a good time in the ring with this.

00:25:16Looked as though he were going to step across and attempt to fire in the sharpshooter.

00:25:21Yes, it did.

00:25:22I think he changed his mind at the last moment.

00:25:24He thought, no, I've got a little more practice in on this fellow.

00:25:28Having a good time.

00:25:30Less than two weeks.

00:25:31That's right, Lord Alfred Hayes.

00:25:32In less than two weeks, Sunday afternoon, January 19th.

00:25:36He's going to put the Intercontinental Championship on the line against the Mountie.

00:25:43I'm sure he wants to make the most of this encounter.

00:25:44Sharpen his skills even more.

00:25:46Yes.

00:25:47That's the Sunday after next, is it not?

00:25:49It is indeed.

00:25:51There's only one way to see it all live.

00:25:54That is on a pay-per-view basis.

00:25:56Oh!

00:25:57Impressive display there.

00:25:58That was good by Hayes.

00:26:00Slams the hitman.

00:26:03On the back of his head.

00:26:04Surprising little fellow, isn't he, Hayes?

00:26:07Enterprising, quite audacious.

00:26:09But I don't think it's going to make any difference to Brett Hart.

00:26:12In your words, he is a rambunctious fellow.

00:26:15Yes, absolutely.

00:26:18He is indeed.

00:26:19Hitman rolled up here.

00:26:21And a very hopeful fellow, too.

00:26:24Would you imagine it gave up with a victory here today?

00:26:28I can't imagine that.

00:26:29But I know what you're getting at.

00:26:32It would shake the whole World Wrestling Federation to its foundations.

00:26:37Well, the title isn't on the line.

00:26:39It would certainly send shockwaves around the WWF.

00:26:45Especially so close to the Royal Rumble.

00:26:48The Mountie would like to see something like that happen, I'm sure.

00:26:52To the hitman.

00:26:56Brett Hart is such an incredible competitor.

00:27:00We have seen him down on occasions.

00:27:03And you would think there was no way he could possibly come back.

00:27:08And he's silenced us all.

00:27:10He certainly has many, many times he's done that.

00:27:14He seems to be like Felix with so many lives.

00:27:18In the corner, Horowitz.

00:27:20Charging in.

00:27:22Took his time.

00:27:26Full speed right into the turnbuckles.

00:27:31That'll take the edge off.

00:27:33Backbreaker.

00:27:34Now the hitman up to the second rope.

00:27:37Looks as fresh as ever.

00:27:41You know, I really believe that Hitman doesn't like to have a match

00:27:45unless he's taken a few blows from the opposition.

00:27:48And he certainly gave Horowitz his chance of the hour there.

00:27:51But Horowitz couldn't do it.

00:27:53There's a sharpshooter.

00:27:55And it's right on target.

00:27:58It doesn't take long for Horowitz to ask for the submission.

00:28:02He wanted nothing more to do with Brett than hitman Hart.

00:28:09And the Intercontinental Champion, Brett Hart,

00:28:11shows why he is the one wearing that belt around his waist.

00:28:15No doubt set for the Royal Rumble in less than two weeks.

00:28:20This river has been our home for hundreds of years.

00:28:25It's been a source of food, transportation, refuge,

00:28:32the very lifeblood of my people.

00:28:35But I now realize, just as the river flows in its own direction,

00:28:42I must flow in my direction.

00:28:46I will be the river.

00:28:48I will carry the sacred wisdom of the Indian Nation to all nations.

00:28:55Yeah!

00:28:58Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

00:29:02Sunday afternoon, April 5th.

00:29:04See all the WWF superstars,

00:29:07along with some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment.

00:29:10So make a New Year's resolution

00:29:12to be part of the record-breaking crowd at the Hoosier Dome.

00:29:16Reserve your seats by calling 317-239-5151

00:29:19or call TCA for travel packages at 1-800-622-0305.

00:29:25Be a part of WrestleMania!

00:29:50Look, he wants to kick Mel Phillips out of the ring.

00:29:57And what a barbaric encounter this should be.

00:30:01Between the Barbarian and the Berserker.

00:30:08I loved your point there about the sword show,

00:30:10because this man is dangerous without a sword.

00:30:14He's using his belt.

00:30:17He could make a weapon out of a pencil.

00:30:19Yes.

00:30:22And the cane of Mr. Fuji,

00:30:25put in his reach.

00:30:27Well, we know that that has been used as a weapon

00:30:29on several occasions.

00:30:33Very interesting encounter, Lord Alfred Hayes.

00:30:36Yes, one I never thought I would see.

00:30:38Barbarian actually going into the ring against the Berserker.

00:30:41But why I believe it's one I thought I would never see

00:30:44is I didn't think Mr. Fuji

00:30:46would allow his man to step in the ring with the Barbarian.

00:30:50Good job now, as the Barbarian returns that shot.

00:30:56Back and forth.

00:30:58I don't think it's a matter of being close companions.

00:31:02I don't think these two individuals have any friends.

00:31:05It's just a matter of competition to them.

00:31:08Being in the center of the ring,

00:31:12the man gives an inch.

00:31:15Well, it looks as though the Berserker

00:31:19is taking a little more of the blow than the Barbarian.

00:31:24But he evens it up in a hurry.

00:31:26He certainly did.

00:31:28Two 300-pounders clashed twice then,

00:31:31and suddenly the Barbarian came up with a better move.

00:31:33Wow. Boy, almost.

00:31:35Yes, I thought it was.

00:31:37I thought for one moment

00:31:39a very, very quick victory there by Berserker.

00:31:41That boot really found its mark.

00:31:44I think the Barbarian may have been out cold

00:31:47for a few seconds there.

00:31:50This is with a close line,

00:31:52and now he fires back with a boot.

00:31:57Some really enterprising moves here by both men.

00:32:01Something we didn't expect.

00:32:03Both superstars, Lord Alfred Hayes,

00:32:05with incredibly powerful legs.

00:32:07Yes, absolutely.

00:32:09In fact, incredibly powerful all over.

00:32:13Barbarian is like a solid rock of granite

00:32:16inside the ring with power.

00:32:18Berserker with a lot of speed for such a big man.

00:32:21A lot of agility,

00:32:23but sometimes he gets too, too confident.

00:32:27Berserker charging in.

00:32:29Shoulder takes a huge shot in that turnbuckle,

00:32:34and now the Barbarian tried to take advantage of it.

00:32:40Slamming the Berserker quarter to quarter.

00:32:43Now when he comes charging in, he misses.

00:32:48Sean, you have to admit it,

00:32:50the Berserker for such a big man is exceptionally fast.

00:32:54So both these superstars came into this match

00:32:58with the same strategy.

00:33:00Trying to outfire the other, the Berserker,

00:33:02now with a huge shoulder block.

00:33:04Was that a three count?

00:33:06No.

00:33:08Very, very close indeed, though.

00:33:10Twice now the Barbarian has almost lost this encounter.

00:33:14Two full counts.

00:33:17He guessed him before he gets the shoulder up.

00:33:20The last tenth of a second, I would say.

00:33:23Yes.

00:33:25And look at Barbarian.

00:33:27He's pressing in with his attack.

00:33:29Nothing daunts this man at all.

00:33:31Certainly not Berserker.

00:33:33What a powerful matchup we are witnessing

00:33:37between these two massive superstars.

00:33:41Well, Mr. Fuji, you saw exactly his tactic there.

00:33:45He pulled down the top rope with the cane.

00:33:48Barbarian very upset about that.

00:33:52Look at Fuji. He's inside the ring there.

00:33:55This will be all over.

00:33:58So Fuji has disqualified his man.

00:34:02Well, I think the referee was a little hasty there, don't you?

00:34:05He had no business getting into the ring, Lord Alfred Hayes.

00:34:08You know that.

00:34:10And now the Barbarian with the cane.

00:34:12Well, he may have disqualified the Barbarian

00:34:14for having that cane.

00:34:16Well, we have not received the official word.

00:34:19But we have it now.

00:34:21Let's go to the announcer.

00:34:23From a cut-out, the Berserker.

00:34:28Neither blade took minutes.

00:34:32Very surprising decision here.

00:34:35Barbarian breaks the cane of Mr. Fuji.

00:34:38What a match this was.

00:34:40Well, don't be surprised if either one of the two individuals

00:34:43whom you just saw in action

00:34:45did become the World Wrestling Federation champion

00:34:48on January 19th at the Royal Rumble.

00:34:50Stranger things than that have happened.

00:34:52It's going to take a real cool head to prevail

00:34:54and become champion in the Royal Rumble.

00:34:56And speaking of that, the macho man Randy Savage

00:34:59better have a very cool head as he enters the Royal Rumble

00:35:02knowing full well that Jake the Snake is likely to be in there.

00:35:05Well, you know how much everybody wants to become

00:35:07World Wrestling Federation champion.

00:35:09Savage would like it for a second time.

00:35:11But here's Jake the Snake Roberts who slapped Miss Elizabeth.

00:35:13Do you think Savage is really going to get in that ring

00:35:15and think about business, have himself set,

00:35:17have himself geared to winning that title?

00:35:19No, he's going to go right for the juggler vein.

00:35:21What Jake the Snake should have done

00:35:23was slap Elizabeth before the wedding

00:35:25so she wouldn't have married him.

00:35:27Stop!

00:35:29Listen, it's just a matter of focus.

00:35:31You know, a lot of the guys, a lot of the wrestlers

00:35:34have personal vendettas.

00:35:36Whoever can leave the dressing room,

00:35:38go to the ring with his mind focused on one thing,

00:35:40that's becoming the World Wrestling Federation champion.

00:35:41That's the man who's going to have the advantage

00:35:43and that's the man who's going to be victorious.

00:35:45Well, let's find out now

00:35:47if the Macho Man Randy Savage is indeed focused.

00:35:49Let's take you now to a special interview

00:35:51with the Macho Man and Elizabeth.

00:35:53Ladies and gentlemen,

00:35:55please welcome my guest this week,

00:36:08that personifies respect,

00:36:10that personifies everything

00:36:12that there is about the great competitors

00:36:14here in the WWF,

00:36:16as we see here in the Macho Man

00:36:18and his bride, Elizabeth.

00:36:20Wow, she's looking great.

00:36:22Taking nothing away from him.

00:36:24Macho Man Randy Savage,

00:36:26the Macho Man Randy Savage,

00:36:28the Macho Man Randy Savage,

00:36:30the Macho Man Randy Savage,

00:36:32the Macho Man Randy Savage,

00:36:34the Macho Man Randy Savage,

00:36:36we are just a couple of weeks

00:36:38away from the Royal Rumble

00:36:40and if you win it all,

00:36:42you could once again be

00:36:44the World Wrestling Federation champion.

00:36:46Absolutely.

00:36:48A grand prize at the Royal Rumble

00:36:50is the World Wrestling Federation

00:36:52championship belt.

00:36:54And I've been to the top

00:36:56of the mountain.

00:36:58You know what,

00:37:00me and G. you know G licenses,

00:37:02I want to go back.

00:37:04I want to go back

00:37:06the top of the mountain, cause I can see better from there, yeah, and at the Royal Rumble,

00:37:14there are no friends, there are only enemies, yeah, and I don't care if the guy happens

00:37:24to be Justice, I don't care if the guy happens to be The Undertaker, and I don't care if

00:37:33it happens to be Hulk Hogan, every man for themselves at the Rumble, yeah, I don't want

00:37:40anything as badly as I want to become the World Wrestling Federation Champion, except

00:37:52for one thing, and I don't care, cause it's you, Snake Man, yeah, it's you, and it's always

00:38:02been you, and it's gonna be you, until I bring you all the way down, I don't care if it's

00:38:08before the Rumble, I don't care if it's during the Rumble, I don't care if it's after the

00:38:14Rumble, you cross that line, and I'm gonna get you, yeah, trust me, dig it, yeah.

00:38:23Alright, Elizabeth, with all of the occurrences in recent weeks, your feelings for Jake Roberts

00:38:31other than, well, utter contempt?

00:38:34Well, Gene, let me just say that, knowing the way Randy feels about him, I, I almost

00:38:41feel sorry for Jake Roberts.

00:38:43Well, I don't feel sorry for the Snake Man, and after the smoke clears at the Rumble,

00:38:49yeah, I will be the winner, and you, Snake Man, you'll be history, dig it.

00:38:56You know, it sounds to me like things are really looking up for the Royal Rumble, Elizabeth.

00:39:01Speaking of sounds, the one sound I'd like to hear at the end of the Royal Rumble is

00:39:06the new World Wrestling Federation Champion, the Macho Man Randy Savage, oh yeah.

00:39:10I bet you would, I bet you would.

00:39:12Oh yeah, she is for her man, you bet.

00:39:20So if he doesn't win, does that mean she's gonna leave him?

00:39:23I don't think you can count on that, we'll be back.

00:39:27The most prestigious event in the history of the World Wrestling Federation will take

00:39:31place on January 19th.

00:39:33On that particular pay-per-view, ladies and gentlemen, 30 competitors competing for the

00:39:37coveted World Wrestling Federation Championship.

00:39:40The man who wins the Royal Rumble not only can claim to be the WWF Champion, he can look

00:39:46back in time and say, I did something no man has ever done.

00:39:50I defeated one way or another 29 other superstars to be the champion.

00:39:56With that in mind, we heard a little bit earlier on from the Macho Man Randy Savage.

00:40:01It's only right now that we hear from the one man who sits at this table who has competed

00:40:06in no less than three Royal Rumbles, who however will not be competing in this one.

00:40:11The question to you, Mr. Perfect, why are you not competing in this Royal Rumble?

00:40:18Well, when I signed the contract to be Ric Flair's executive consultant, there is a clause

00:40:24in there that excludes me from wrestling against Ric Flair.

00:40:27Exactly, and do you know who put that contract together?

00:40:30Well, Bobby did.

00:40:31That's exactly my point.

00:40:33Bobby Heenan, Mr. Perfect, is precluding you from entering the most prestigious event

00:40:39in the history of the World Wrestling Federation.

00:40:41You, Mr. Perfect, could, so to speak, walk that aisle as the WWF Champion, but according

00:40:48to Bobby Heenan, you're not going to be in the Royal Rumble.

00:40:52No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

00:40:55no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

00:49:51you to call your local cable company right now and then get ready for sunday january the 19th

00:49:58and the royal rumble who can bring together people hand in hand

00:50:07the eminem's care who can speak a language the world can you're young you're young we're back

00:50:15with more prime time bobby heenan you're gonna make more money mr heenan mr perfect do you mind

00:50:20joining us please there's no question this discussion continues as to the clause in the

00:50:24contract of rick flair prohibiting mr perfect from entering the royal rumble well right now gorilla

00:50:29let's talk about other participants in the royal rumble let's talk about some of the tag teams

00:50:34actually that are going to be entering this thing principally the rockers and the nasty boys well

00:50:40rockers we've sean michaels marty genetti just like these two birds there seems to be some

00:50:45dissension amongst the rockers which is not going to fare well for them in the royal rumble good

00:50:51boy then again as it relates to the nasty boys let's assume reverend that the nasty boys enter

00:50:56the royal rumble and they have to go at it one-on-one if that occurs what happens on the

00:51:03back side of that what happens out of the royal rumble will they still be the cohesive unit that

00:51:07they are entering the royal i don't think so vince i think number one i don't think the bond between

00:51:11these two guys is all that tight in the first place and let's face it only one man can walk

00:51:16away with the world wrestling federation championship title now i know i certainly

00:51:21wouldn't let my partner my brother anyone stop me from becoming champion so hard feelings can

00:51:26you know develop from that speaking of hard feelings gentlemen uh he worked everything out

00:51:30i say he obviously didn't weasel his way out look at look at his voice

00:51:35to madison square garden we'll take a look at the matchup involving the rockers and the nasty boys

00:51:47and their opponents

00:51:48about to come down the aisle

00:52:19this match means so much to the rockers and the rockers of victoria's here

00:52:23they could very well have a tag team title match upcoming with lod and it means a lot

00:52:30to the nasty boys they could get a return match against lod

00:52:39and either team would make really tough opposition for the tag team champions

00:52:49your assessment what happened in the matchup involving the rockers there was a little

00:52:55miscommunication was there not well there's a lot of miscommunication with the rockers

00:52:59if you if you read the world wrestling federation magazine you'll know as i do that these two guys

00:53:05don't get along now that was just a rumor i believe it though i mean i can see a lot i can

00:53:11tell when two people don't get along i mean they're just they're jealous of one another

00:53:18they're jealous of one another there's something there's something going on there i don't think

00:53:21they've got along for a long time i think it's just a business proposition i don't know i'll

00:53:26have to get i can get to the bottom of the phone you can't for broadcast journals i'll find out

00:53:31i'll find out real soon i'll be right now though but what can we expect as revelation stay tuned

00:53:38stay tuned

00:53:41and a look at the physique of uh mr knobs

00:53:46so exactly a cut physique but even so a very very powerful 300 pounder very powerful young man as

00:53:52well as sags there and uh they are nasty there's no question about that everybody knows they are

00:53:58nasty if you have new dimensions i would think of the term nasty so evil these two knobs and sags

00:54:06they certainly give no love or admiration or respect to anybody at all and on occasion not

00:54:13even to each other which might be a problem with the rockers many have stated and rumored

00:54:18as evidenced by the wwf magazine thus far we've had absolutely no action whatsoever in this match

00:54:25just uh clowning around i wonder how long the rockers are gonna put up with this i think that's

00:54:30the nasty boy strategy get the rockets to make a mistake you know that they probably got a game

00:54:34plan but if you can throw their game plan off a bit then your game plan is going to work

00:54:42just laughing uh off camera there's this uh little lady as a matter of fact we may

00:54:46have an opportunity to pick that up nasty boy dolls there they are here's sags and knobs

00:54:55the nasty boys they even have their fans here in the big apple

00:55:04now the truth never is

00:55:09i like it they take their time they make you fight their battle

00:55:14that's the way it is huh time jump up come on okay come on let's get down to some action here

00:55:20come on guys since laverne and shirley are kind of uh off their game plan

00:55:25uh

00:55:44well it's great tactics i think by the nasty boys here they've certainly done their homework well

00:55:49how could you possibly say that we haven't seen any action

00:55:52there you go just like that vince distract them in the beginning good psychological

00:55:58ploy and then a good physical ploy michael's making a drubbing now the knobs

00:56:05sags that knobs or sides in there yeah that's thanks

00:56:09right

00:56:28is certainly having his way here with michaels

00:56:31no

00:56:35jerry sags continuing to hammer oh this is with the roundhouse over his man right back at him now

00:56:42caught him in midair

00:56:46sean michaels michaels knocks him down coming over oh yeah let's bring it back

00:56:51tags and knobs having a problem sean michaels a house of fire

00:56:55and that's what it's all about that's action from the rockers

00:57:03two against one and that's why they call him tag team specialist

00:57:08marty janetti and sean michaels the rockers

00:57:12tag team tactics by the rockers like you said michaels had a resort to fighting his cabasas

00:57:19is proboscis oh

00:57:24keep it simple for the human rights i know what you mean beat

00:57:30sides and knobs once again trying to formulate a bit of strategy now as

00:57:33marty janetti will try his luck against the former tag team title holders

00:57:40well there is a little disconcertion in that corner moment but

00:57:44they seem to have regrouped now they're coming back into this match that's the trouble with the

00:57:49rockers you never know when they're going to come off that top rope one rocker two rocker

00:57:52you don't know where they're going to hit you from you've got to ground them you can't have

00:57:55an aerial match with them you've got to ground them well what uh rockers need is close physical

00:58:03contact all right now come on raffleman i'm finally a fresh i think i'd consider uh awarding

00:58:12points for stalling if this were amateur and it's not amateur no but come on the stalling

00:58:19tactic is getting to be a little uh frustrating i'm sure on the part of the rockers we're good

00:58:24then it's working not necessarily to wait and see the outcome of the match

00:58:33firing off a series of wide hands now

00:58:35uh

00:58:50blazing speed yes

00:58:54completely confused

00:59:05i can't wait to see the armpit move i don't like that but what move

00:59:08that's when the nasty boys get you in the corner and rub your face and

00:59:13one of their armpits yeah that's the pits that's the pits yeah i like that

00:59:20ryan knobs all over marty janetti

00:59:27a lot of power in those blows

00:59:32however knobs better be using his peripheral vision as well because from the top rope the

00:59:38rockers can strike at any time and sean michaels is halfway up janetti off the wall back body drop

00:59:45oh look at that but everybody hang on there it is it's over no it's not oh yeah janetti is a house

00:59:52fire see you gotta keep them grounded you can't let them up once they get up they can attack in

00:59:5910 12 14 25 different ways and that was a good thing by janetti there

01:00:04he kept his core was very patient and picked his moment

01:00:10and the nasty boy is not looking all that crisp here tonight in madison square garden are they

01:00:16well it's early it's early early it's getting late they're a little sluggish you're right

01:00:25and a tag is made now he didn't have the tag rope though

01:00:28he'd have both feet he must have the official saw the tag it was right there

01:00:35and the tag is made now

01:00:36now wait a minute they're going to work on michaels in the corner

01:00:49oh my knobs hammering away may have hurt his hand

01:00:55knobs now with sean michaels to the far corner he comes no

01:00:58way off the mark look how fast sean michaels is from the top down on him

01:01:03oh

01:01:18he's always there for you albert absolutely not just there in terms of the physicality

01:01:23he's always rooting you on he's almost like having a cheerleader there on your side

01:01:28so stalwart you're absolutely right kings are very very protective and watch for an

01:01:32alert eye on his partner also he'll be calling spots for you when you're in there

01:01:38i mean if you're in trouble he sees something coming from an opponent if you can hear him

01:01:43that is he's he's always giving you advice constantly off the rope now

01:01:50from behind though sean michaels

01:01:53uh-oh

01:02:07on the outside sean michaels back to the ring post

01:02:14marty janetti over there with his tag team partner trying to help him out

01:02:18what if the match is over

01:02:23did he ring the bell no no no the official moving

01:02:26janetti back to his corner now the official count will begin

01:02:30oh wait a minute distracting the official meanwhile on the outside

01:02:35having scooped one here to the ring post

01:02:39knobs and sags and nasty boys doing what they do best now tag team wrestling what a dangerous

01:02:48move that was on the outside

01:02:52michaels who was doing so well

01:02:58now what sort of dissension would you uh allow that is going on and as far as the rockers

01:03:04concerned what do you know bobby well i just know what i read you read the world wrestling

01:03:08federation magazine you're going to learn something mcmahon they don't get along they

01:03:12have them for a long time they're very jealous of one another that's the case you'd never know it

01:03:18by what happens in the by what happens in the ring

01:03:24we were getting excited

01:03:28reaching for the tag tag out sean michaels needs to get out of there

01:03:32oh well measure beautiful move by sacks

01:03:39bend them in half snap them jerry sacks really pouring on the pressure

01:03:48michael very very vulnerable now needs to make that tag

01:03:53always do everything

01:04:11hoping to hold it together here in madison square garden

01:04:16both teams wanting that matchup with lod

01:04:23both teams wanting to be tag team champions

01:04:28and right now that looks a good proposition here for the nasty boys

01:04:33they've dominated this last 10 minutes or so of this match

01:04:40still got some fight left in the building

01:04:43great courage you're right bobby

01:04:58michael's back to his feet now tag is going to be made a lunge for it on the part of jenetti

01:05:12so

01:05:16and meanwhile off the road now

01:05:21nice legal tag by the nasties

01:05:26dropping the elbow the cover now we have one two and a kick out by michaels

01:05:34he's lucky brian knox in control forearm setting up sean michaels coming off back

01:05:41but no look at this bear hug

01:05:46i think i heard it give i've had it i think did he say i have it ring the bell

01:05:54i don't believe so and again jenetti wanting to make the tag

01:06:00you have to have arms as long as andre the giants to make that tag

01:06:03and jenetti and michaels trying to rally here against the nasty boys this match meaning so

01:06:12very very much for both teams and it certainly means a lot to the rockers

01:06:18if they could overcome the nasty boys they would be in the line for a title shot

01:06:25and again perhaps the same would be true here for the nasty boys

01:06:30absolutely

01:06:37he possibly could michaels trying to make his move there you go

01:06:42oh

01:06:56and once again disaster strikes events indeed it's this i was going to say bobby i'll make it

01:07:03oh michaels had better tag out i don't care who you are

01:07:14michaels had better tag out he is being worn down by both nasty boys one after the other

01:07:20and the nasty boys really enjoying this much now off the road

01:07:24sets him up there we go there come on

01:07:38getting knobs back to his corner yeah well nob's intention distracting him good tag team wrestling

01:07:44all right strategy's not bad i'll have to agree with you there

01:07:48uh-oh

01:07:52all power moves by the nasty boys they certainly studied well how to beat the rockers well a good

01:07:59big man always beat a good small man and two good big guys always beat two good little guys

01:08:07these aren't little guys but they're smaller than i'm gonna tell you these are very

01:08:10fair sized guys michaels especially michael no doubt both individuals have both rockers

01:08:18tremendous heart

01:08:22reaching for the tag continually marty jenny two through and again a very close count

01:08:28and if this match goes another five minutes without a tag then there's no question i

01:08:32believe the nasty boys will be victorious two in again a number of near falls here

01:08:39well michaels has never been the same since he got his back grant running to the ring

01:08:42but rammed into the ring post out here on the floor never been the same all the fight went out

01:08:48of him reaching with the tag rope trying to make the tag legally

01:09:00over the top it has to be he knows that he's smart enough he's just goldbrick

01:09:07who's what i don't think he wants in there he knows if he can say that he's going to wind up

01:09:12in the same position michaels is in yet he's trying to encourage his capacity to crowd

01:09:16to help his partner out he's going to help his partner with his partner

01:09:21and sean michaels could use all the help he could possibly get

01:09:24wow

01:09:38two three

01:09:55all right

01:10:12for the house of fire

01:10:17he's been waiting on the outside wait a minute

01:10:19Yes! He's on the ropes, Alfred!

01:10:23Sure, he's had a rest. He's been standing on the apron for the last couple of hours.

01:10:26Oh, yeah!

01:10:27And cover!

01:10:28One! Two!

01:10:29Oh, no!

01:10:32I've lost track of who the legal man in the ring is supposed to be!

01:10:37Look out!

01:10:39Who is the legal man, Alfred?

01:10:41I... I...

01:10:42Oh, no! It's Turnaround Rock!

01:10:44Turnaround Rock!

01:10:45Oh, no!

01:10:46No, don't turn around!

01:10:50And back again!

01:10:53Wait a minute! He just pinned his own partner!

01:10:55Wait a minute!

01:10:57Oh, he's a mistake!

01:11:01Now, what happened there?

01:11:02What happened there was...

01:11:04There was so much flip-flop, flip-flop back and forth.

01:11:08What happened there was Shawn Michaels thought he was helping his tag team partner.

01:11:13Unfortunately, turned the wrong man over.

01:11:15Here are your winners, The Nasty Boyz!

01:11:22The Nasty Boyz, victorious!

01:11:39A little discussion going on here, as you might suspect, on the part of Shawn Michaels and Bobby Jannetty.

01:11:44It was an accident.

01:11:46Plain as day.

01:11:48I wonder.

01:11:49What do you mean, you wonder? You think Shawn Michaels did that intentionally?

01:11:53He pinned his own tag team partner, realizing that he would be hurting himself?

01:11:58I wonder.

01:12:00You know, wait a minute, Big Rick.

01:12:01They had an opportunity to wrestle for the championship.

01:12:03You think Shawn Michaels would blow that?

01:12:06Well, there is no doubt that there remains a certain amount of dissension among the Rockers.

01:12:11And it does not bid well for them entering this Royal Rumble.

01:12:14And speaking of dissension, gentlemen, I wonder, Mr. Perfect.

01:12:18Not only does it not occur to you that Bobby Heenan had something to do with the clause that prohibits you from entering the Royal Rumble.

01:12:25Stop it!

01:12:26What's wrong with you?

01:12:27But nonetheless, did it ever occur to you, Mr. Perfect, that there may be a little bonus coming Bobby Heenan's way as a result of...

01:12:34Let me ask one question.

01:12:36Did you and Ric Flair look over my contract before I signed it?

01:12:40Of course, Mr. Perfect.

01:12:41Don't you answer for me, damn it!

01:12:43Yes, I negotiated the whole thing.

01:12:46Yes, what did you say?

01:12:47I'm not on trial here. I'm not on trial.

01:12:49You see what's happening with this Royal Rumble.

01:12:51There's so much at stake here that everybody's fighting everybody.

01:12:55Calm down, man.

01:12:56The only way we're going to get someplace is to work together.

01:12:58Well, I'm telling you now, ladies and gentlemen, get a hold of yourself.

01:13:00You shut up or I'll...

01:13:01We'll be back in a minute.

01:13:03Hey, get a hold of yourself.

01:13:11I can't imagine he would do that to a baby.

01:13:15No, definitely not.

01:13:18And he dropped him so nonchalantly outside the ring there, so...

01:13:22As if he was disgusted with the opposition that he's meeting here.

01:13:26Valentine's got to pull himself together.

01:13:29Take a little respite on the outside to get back into this match.

01:13:33Looks to be an incredible pain, though.

01:13:35Yes, the Lordship.

01:13:37And, Sean, looking at Borlaug now,

01:13:39can you believe that a little while ago he was really suffering?

01:13:42I don't think he was.

01:13:43I think it was just part of his game plan.

01:13:47Now continues to work on that lower back of Valentine.

01:13:51Surprised he came back in that quickly.

01:13:54He's obviously hurting.

01:13:59Yes, that surprised me, too.

01:14:00It shows that he's not thinking clearly.

01:14:03Unless he believes that he really can overcome the Warlord

01:14:07with this type of tactic.

01:14:09But I don't think so.

01:14:12Well, the Warlord's certainly a lot more mobile at this point

01:14:16and can easily get out of the way of those moves from

01:14:19those attempted blows from Valentine.

01:14:21And he's just picking his shots at this point.

01:14:25Now there's the bear hug.

01:14:26There it is.

01:14:27This could be the beginning of the end

01:14:30of Valentine's valiant performance here

01:14:33against this huge monster.

01:14:36Obviously, the Warlord felt that he had weakened Valentine enough

01:14:42to use this match-ending clutch

01:14:47he is very well known for throughout the WWF.

01:14:51That bear hug has ended a lot of encounters.

01:14:54Yes, a lot of aspirations, a lot of dreams

01:14:57have been smashed on that rock just there.

01:15:01Valentine refuses to give up, though, trying to fight.

01:15:04How long can you hold on when you're encased in those huge arms?

01:15:10Massive biceps.

01:15:14Bear clap sets him free.

01:15:19Clothesline and the Warlord is down.

01:15:23Let's see if Valentine can take advantage of it.

01:15:25Misses with the elbow.

01:15:28Warlord alert enough to roll out of the way.

01:15:32Not only does Valentine have to worry about the back,

01:15:34now the elbow is hurting.

01:15:35Yes.

01:15:36And that was, if you noticed, Sean,

01:15:38that was a very, very slow elbow drop here

01:15:40attempted on Warlord there.

01:15:42Obviously, Warlord has done a lot of damage to Valentine.

01:15:45It's not immediately visible on the outside,

01:15:48but I would say that he's wounded him mentally

01:15:51and really hurt him physically.

01:15:54It really has been a tough encounter, though,

01:15:56for both superstars.

01:15:58Yes.

01:15:59Warlord has suffered some damage as well as Valentine.

01:16:03Valentine has certainly got his licks in during this match,

01:16:06but it seems that the impetus now is fully with the Warlord.

01:16:10It may have been in question at the start, but not now.

01:16:15Another backbreaker.

01:16:17But Valentine refuses to stay down.

01:16:23Got the courage there on the part of Valentine, Sean.

01:16:28Obviously hurting, though.

01:16:30And back into the bear hug.

01:16:33Does he have enough to get free again?

01:16:36I would say almost no,

01:16:39but you never know with Valentine.

01:16:41He does possess a lot of stamina,

01:16:43and even if he gets free,

01:16:45that bear hug is doing its damage,

01:16:47as we just observed.

01:16:49He is foundering on that rock.

01:16:52Now, he is known to be one of the most resilient veterans

01:16:55in the World Wrestling Federation.

01:16:58And that is why we have learned,

01:17:00Lord Alfred Hayes,

01:17:02you can never give up.

01:17:04On the hammer.

01:17:05And he holds on there.

01:17:12Three shots, four shots from the hammer.

01:17:14And another.

01:17:16Into the ropes.

01:17:19Number six.

01:17:22He is the one that drops the warlord.

01:17:25Tremendous determination

01:17:27on the part of Valentine.

01:17:29Once again, he's mustered all that stamina

01:17:31he's so famous for.

01:17:34And he does seem to be getting just a might stronger

01:17:37until then.

01:17:41It's almost as though the warlord

01:17:44takes so much,

01:17:45and then the alarm goes off.

01:17:49The reserve of strength kicks in.

01:17:52Valentine rolls up the warlord.

01:17:54Can he keep him down?

01:17:56Oh, so close.

01:17:58That was close indeed.

01:18:02Warlord uses the leverage.

01:18:05Valentine trying to come with a backbreaker,

01:18:07but the warlord came over

01:18:09and kept Valentine's shoulders to the canvas.

01:18:14And although it was an incredible effort on

01:18:16the part of Greg The Hammer Valentine,

01:18:19he did not have enough today

01:18:23to come out victorious

01:18:26in this battle,

01:18:27and Lord Alfred Hay is certainly a tough loss to swallow.

01:18:31It certainly was, and you were right, Sean.

01:18:33That was a valiant effort on the part of

01:18:35The Hammer Valentine,

01:18:37but in the end, the power, the strength,

01:18:39the animal way that warlord deals with his opponents

01:18:42paid off.

01:18:43And Hammer, unfortunately, lost this encounter,

01:18:45but what a tremendous victory

01:18:47for that one powerful, powerful man in the ring there,

01:18:50the warlord.

01:18:52Greg The Hammer Valentine and the warlord.

01:18:54Either one of those two individuals

01:18:56could be the World Wrestling Federation champion.

01:18:58They both are entered.

01:19:00Speaking of entered and winning,

01:19:02well, since, Mr. Perfect,

01:19:04you cannot enter the Royal Rumble,

01:19:06and therefore, since you cannot be

01:19:07World Wrestling Federation champion,

01:19:09stop it.

01:19:10Then why don't we allow

01:19:11Mr. Perfect an opportunity to win something?

01:19:13Here's something you can do.

01:19:14Why don't you dial up the Hoaxter's hotline?

01:19:16You can win prizes.

01:19:17You can hear the daily message from the Hoaxter

01:19:19and play the interactive game.

01:19:20You can win some prizes.

01:19:21Now, wait a minute.

01:19:22Does your contract preclude you?

01:19:24Will you knock it off?

01:19:25It's not fun.

01:19:26No, I'll play the game.

01:19:27I'll play the game.

01:19:28Is that all right with you?

01:19:29Oh, it's okay with me.

01:19:30Sure.

01:19:31Just dial.

01:19:32You don't have to sign anything here.

01:19:33Just pick up the phone and dial.

01:19:34I just want to say, I hope you win,

01:19:36since you can never be

01:19:37the World Wrestling Federation champion.

01:19:39All right, with that in mind,

01:19:40if any of you want to play along with Mr. Perfect,

01:19:42why don't you do so by dialing 1-900-454-HOAX.

01:19:46It's only $1.49 for the first minute

01:19:48and 99 cents for each additional minute.

01:19:51And kids, make sure you have your parents' permission

01:19:53or, in this case, let's make sure Mr. Perfect

01:19:55has Bobby the Brain Heenan's permission

01:19:57before he can play the game.

01:19:59How are you doing over there?

01:20:00Let's see if he wins.

01:20:01He's going to win.

01:20:02Let's go to commercial.

01:20:03Hold it.

01:20:04You're trying to prevent him from winning.

01:20:06You're talking in his ear.

01:20:07You're trying to distract him.

01:20:08Will you shut up?

01:20:09Hold it.

01:20:12He's good at this.

01:20:13Bingo! Santa Domingo!

01:20:15I'm a winner.

01:20:16What do you know about that?

01:20:17I'm a winner.

01:20:18You're darn right you're a winner.

01:20:20You're Norman.

01:20:21You're not the only thing you'll ever win.

01:20:22I'll tell you that.

01:20:23He saw to that.

01:20:24I didn't see to anything.

01:20:25I'd like to take this just one step farther for you.

01:20:28Just for your sake, Perfect.

01:20:30For the last seven, eight weeks here,

01:20:32you've been expounding the virtues of Ric Flair,

01:20:34how he's going to walk away from the Royal Rumble

01:20:36with the championship

01:20:37and be the New World Wrestling Federation champion.

01:20:39If that, in fact, happens,

01:20:41if you're right and you say you're perfect,

01:20:44your career could be over

01:20:46before you ever get a crack at the title.

01:20:48Oh, wait a minute.

01:20:49Because he'd never be able to compete with Ric Flair.

01:20:51No, no, no.

01:20:52That's right.

01:20:53No way.

01:20:54Boy, have you ever sold him in any way?

01:20:56You buried this guy forever.

01:20:58You sold him down the river, not what you did.

01:21:00That's exactly what you did.

01:21:02You see what's happening?

01:21:03You see what's happening?

01:21:04No, I don't see what's happening.

01:21:05Well, I'm going to tell you what's happening

01:21:06with this Royal Rumble,

01:21:07and everything is so prestigious,

01:21:09so we're in that title.

01:21:10Everybody's turning on everybody.

01:21:11The only way we're going to make it,

01:21:12the only way Flair's going to make it,

01:21:14is if we stick together.

01:21:15You're going to make more money than you've ever made.

01:21:17What he meant was...

01:21:18You're the best in the business.

01:21:21You're the best in the business.

01:21:22Nobody's ever going to host you.

01:21:23Right now, ladies and gentlemen,

01:21:24let's take a minute of your time.

01:21:25You're a young man from New York.

01:21:26Take the money and run with it.

01:21:28Brutus, the barber beefcake.

01:21:30Now, there's the guy that needs a haircut.

01:21:32He needs a facial.

01:21:33He's a lot done to that head.

01:21:35Did you say he sold mine soon?

01:21:37Well, I don't know what happened

01:21:38to the rest of his outfit.

01:21:40Welcome to the barbershop, ladies and gentlemen.

01:21:43You know, this week, my special guest

01:21:46is one of, if not the biggest

01:21:49and the baddest man in the Royal Rumble.

01:21:52That's right, I'm talking about Sid Justice.

01:21:55No question, he is the biggest, Frank.

01:21:57You know, everybody...

01:21:58Well, maybe the world, but I don't know.

01:21:59Come on out, Sid. Come on, brother.

01:22:01Look at the size of that man.

01:22:02There's no...

01:22:03When you're stepping in that ring

01:22:05in the Royal Rumble,

01:22:07and we all know what it's gonna be like

01:22:10facing 29 competitors at once.

01:22:13But what's gonna happen

01:22:15if you're left in the ring

01:22:17with a guy like Randy Savage

01:22:19or a guy like Hulk Hogan?

01:22:21Well, you know, Brutus, it's no secret

01:22:24that me and Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan

01:22:27are all good friends.

01:22:29And if needed, Hulk Hogan or Randy Savage,

01:22:32you could call on me.

01:22:33I would stand beside them.

01:22:35And if I needed either one of the guys,

01:22:37they would stand beside me.

01:22:39But in Royal Rumble,

01:22:40it's every man for himself.

01:22:42And that's why I believe

01:22:44that Sid Justice has the advantage

01:22:47because I've always been a man

01:22:49that needed no sidekick,

01:22:51a man that needed no manager.

01:22:54I am a man that stands alone,

01:22:57and that is why in Royal Rumble,

01:23:00that is why that justice will be served.

01:23:05One thing, one thing, big man.

01:23:07Everybody's wondering about your arm, man.

01:23:10Is it gonna be finished?

01:23:11Is it ready? Is it healed?

01:23:13Are you gonna be able

01:23:14to really slug it out in there?

01:23:16Or is it gonna be a little crippling to you?

01:23:18Or is it gonna be holding you back?

01:23:20For two months,

01:23:21I have sat and asked myself the same question,

01:23:24and I've got one answer.

01:23:26And that answer is simple.

01:23:28My arms are both at 100%.

01:23:30And what does that mean?

01:23:32That means good for me,

01:23:34and that means bad for the other 29 participants

01:23:38because I am Sid Justice,

01:23:40and I promise that justice will be served.

01:23:44One of the odds-on favorites

01:23:46to win it all at the Royal Rumble,

01:23:48Sid Justice.

01:23:51Here the shrill whistle from the megaphone

01:23:55of the Mountain of the South,

01:23:56Jimmy Hart on his way to the ring.

01:23:58Behind him,

01:24:00a law enforcement officer from Canada,

01:24:02The Mountie,

01:24:05who seems to just get meaner and meaner

01:24:07with every confrontation.

01:24:13And he gets better and better as well, Sean.

01:24:15His record, if you look at it,

01:24:17if you look at it,

01:24:18these last few months

01:24:20is absolutely without comparison.

01:24:23I think he becomes more skilled

01:24:25and losing his dastardly tactics

01:24:27throughout the days.

01:24:30Well, that's sometimes the way to amass

01:24:32a winning record,

01:24:33which he certainly has done.

01:24:35Rudy Gonzalez,

01:24:36the opponent today for The Mountie,

01:24:40goes up,

01:24:41upwards near 300-pound mark.

01:24:44He is going to have a tough time today

01:24:46if he plans to walk out of the squared circle victorious.

01:24:51Seems very anxious for combat.

01:24:53Yes, he does indeed,

01:24:54and that's a good sign.

01:24:55He certainly isn't in awe of this fantastic wrestler.

01:24:59As you know, Lord Alfred Hayes,

01:25:01Royal Rumble,

01:25:02now less than two weeks away,

01:25:03The Mountie will challenge

01:25:05Bret The Hitman Hart

01:25:06for the Intercontinental Championship,

01:25:08but it is going to be a matter of revenge

01:25:10for The Hitman.

01:25:11Most important thing in my life right now

01:25:14is the World Wrestling Federation

01:25:15Intercontinental Belt,

01:25:17and I got one thing in mind.

01:25:19The Royal Rumble,

01:25:20The Mountie,

01:25:21and revenge.

01:25:24And I think he means it,

01:25:25Lord Alfred Hayes.

01:25:26He definitely does indeed.

01:25:29He is determined to have revenge upon this man.

01:25:32Well, you know, that stems from an incident

01:25:33that took place a few months back

01:25:36when The Hitman was battling The Mountie,

01:25:41and a law enforcement officer

01:25:43was on the way out of that encounter.

01:25:46I mean, on the losing end,

01:25:47when Jimmy Hart threw water on Bret Hart.

01:25:53Then The Mountie went after The Hitman

01:25:55with a shock stick,

01:25:57and he was severely injured.

01:26:00I think Bret Hart is still feeling the effects

01:26:02of that shocking incident.

01:26:05Oh, definitely.

01:26:06I remember it well.

01:26:07And Bret Hart,

01:26:09although he might demoralize the backdrop there,

01:26:13not demoralized by that,

01:26:15but he was certainly physically hurt by that.

01:26:19I would say the mental scars remain,

01:26:21and he plans to settle it all off.

01:26:23And the Royal Rumble,

01:26:24the Intercontinental Championship on the line.

01:26:27And you can see every exciting moment

01:26:29of that encounter live on pay-per-view

01:26:31as well as the tremendous main events.

01:26:34Thirty superstars involved in a championship bout.

01:26:38This man with a chance to win the coveted title.

01:26:42Many other things at stake as well, of course, Sean.

01:26:46In that 30-man event,

01:26:47there will be an added honor.

01:26:50Well, not much left here for Rudy Gonzalez.

01:26:53Let's get the official word on this encounter.

01:26:59Bit of a tune-up here

01:27:01from a law enforcement officer from Canada.

01:27:03Jimmy Hart very pleased.

01:27:06But as we have seen on many an occasion,

01:27:08it is not over yet.

01:27:10Now, he made the match part of that very simple indeed.

01:27:13Now comes this right that he goes through.

01:27:16And I'm afraid Paul Rudy Gonzalez

01:27:19is not going to like this one iota.

01:27:24It's always a humiliating experience

01:27:26when he starts to read his opponents their rights.

01:27:31It is my duty to inform you you're under arrest.

01:27:35You have the right to remain silent.

01:27:38Well, Gonzalez is up on his feet at least.

01:27:40He's not out of this.

01:27:42But he certainly will be very, very shortly.

01:27:45Well, he really can't go anywhere.

01:27:47Oh, there he's hit with a shock stick.

01:27:50As he really lights up Rudy Gonzalez.

01:27:55He's certainly taken the fight out of him now,

01:27:57Lord Alfred Hayes.

01:27:58He has indeed.

01:27:59We're going to take a look back down

01:28:00to some of the fights that have happened

01:28:02between Gonzalez and the Mountie.

01:28:04Well, there wasn't much fighting Gonzalez.

01:28:06A tremendous drop kick there by the Mountie.

01:28:09And he came down and finished his man so easily.

01:28:12However, it's not going to be so easy for him

01:28:14when he challenges for the Intercontinental title

01:28:17against Bret Hart.

01:28:32Ah...

01:28:36Yes, Sherry, this is the place.

01:28:38Smells just like it.

01:28:39I don't think I'll take it.

01:28:41I'm sure all of you people have got to be asking yourself,

01:28:45what would a man of my stature, of my class,

01:28:48be doing in a place like this?

01:28:50Well, in an effort to bring you the truth

01:28:53and illustrate a point,

01:28:55and teach you what Tito Santana,

01:28:58El Matador is really all about,

01:29:00I have lowered my own personal standard.

01:29:03I have crossed the border into El Matadorville,

01:29:06and I am in the very neighborhood,

01:29:08in front of the very home

01:29:10where Tito Santana grew up as a boy.

01:29:13Now, one picture is worth a million words.

01:29:17Feast your eyes on that.

01:29:19Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

01:29:22Now, you can tell by looking at this work of art

01:29:26that there was a lot of time and effort and love

01:29:29put into building this home.

01:29:31I believe it was built by that famous Mexican architect,

01:29:34Señor Slum.

01:29:36Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

01:29:38And what have we here, Sherry?

01:29:40I believe this is the local shrine.

01:29:42This is the very bed that Tito Santana slept on as a boy.

01:29:45Oh, mucho congratulaciones.

01:29:49Don't touch anything, Sherry.

01:29:51Don't touch anything.

01:29:52Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

01:29:54Oh, what a work of splendor.

01:29:56Just take a look around.

01:29:58And listen.

01:29:59What?

01:30:00Listen.

01:30:01Do you hear all that?

01:30:02What?

01:30:03All the hustle and bustle and activity in this community.

01:30:06No.

01:30:07You know that these people must be a very hardworking,

01:30:09industrious people, much like Tito Santana himself.

01:30:13Ha, ha, ha, ha.

01:30:14And if you think this is bad, you ain't seen nothing yet.

01:30:18Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

01:30:20Please, let's go.

01:30:21Okay, Sherry.

01:30:22Please, let's get out of here.

01:30:23Okay, let's get back in the car.

01:30:24Let's go back to the hotel.

01:30:25Don't worry about it.

01:30:26Please, I want to go.

01:30:27It'll be okay.

01:30:28It'll be okay.

01:30:29I promise.

01:30:32Alex Furlong is about to die.

01:30:36And enter the year 2009.

01:30:38Alex, don't you remember me?

01:30:40Now, he's a freejack.

01:30:41Someone paid to bring him back.

01:30:43With a body that's priceless.

01:30:45Fifteen million to anyone who can bring you in.

01:30:47In a world that's ruthless.

01:30:49I watched you die.

01:30:50Emilio Estevez, Mick Jagger, Rene Russo, and Anthony Hopkins.

01:30:55Welcome to my mind.

01:30:56Freejack.

01:30:57Rated R.

01:30:58Starts Friday, January 17th.

01:31:00Around 1900, GMC Truck built America's first gasoline-powered truck.

01:31:06And went on to make trucks our only business.

01:31:09A heritage of trucks that, some say, worked a little harder, lasted a little longer.

01:31:16And that's still true today in a truck that gives you the most standard payload

01:31:20and the strongest resale of any full-size pickup.

01:31:24Sierra.

01:31:25From GMC Truck.

01:31:27More proof of the strength of experience.

01:31:31When your favorite shirt ends up polishing your favorite car.

01:31:35When your Sunday best now cleans your windows spotless.

01:31:39When you don't get stains out on the first try, you may end up with rags.

01:31:44You should try Aera.

01:31:46Aera Plus.

01:31:47With a plus of built-in stain removers for the power to get many stains out.

01:31:53On the very first try.

01:31:56It's Aera Plus.

01:31:58Or else.

01:32:01Everyone knows Contact wrote the book on cold medicine.

01:32:04Now Contact's added a whole new chapter.

01:32:07Introducing new Contact Day and Night.

01:32:10On this page, yellow day caplets that knock out your cold symptoms without making you drowsy

01:32:15so you can breathe easy and work all day long.

01:32:18On this page, blue night caplets that relieve your symptoms to let you rest.

01:32:22Both formulas control your cold symptoms with the right medicine at the right time.

01:32:26New Contact Day and Night.

01:32:28A whole new chapter in cold relief.

01:32:31Charlie Robinson was used to taking chances.

01:32:34He just wasn't used to losing.

01:32:36So because your brother lost his future, you're gonna throw yours away too?

01:32:40Now it's time to move on.

01:32:42You hired Charlie Robinson to drive this truck?

01:32:44And move out.

01:32:45We're making a run for it.

01:32:47Damn car!

01:32:48Steven Bauer.

01:32:49Did you ride?

01:32:50Cindy Gibb.

01:32:51God, that was fun.

01:32:52The new Steven Wonder.

01:32:54You better drive like lightning.

01:32:56A USA World Premiere movie.

01:32:58Wednesday night at 9.

01:33:02As was brought out earlier on by Bobby Heenan, there's a great deal of dissension going into this Royal Rumble.

01:33:07It is, in fact, every man for himself.

01:33:09That much is pretty clear.

01:33:10And it seems to me that Ted DiBiase is just so far out of line.

01:33:14I mean, Tito Santana, El Matador, is really gonna come after him at the Royal Rumble.

01:33:18I don't know what is provoking Ted DiBiase to do these dastardly deeds.

01:33:23What do you think, Gorilla?

01:33:25I think the guy's sick, really.

01:33:27I think the guy's got a sick mind and he's worried.

01:33:29He's obviously worried about Tito Santana and what Tito's ability is.

01:33:33And that Tito's got the equipment to beat a guy like DiBiase.

01:33:36That's what he's worried about.

01:33:37Santana could very easily be the World Wrestling Federation champion.

01:33:40But you can never be!

01:33:42Hey, you, hey!

01:33:43You're singing the same old song and I'm tired of hearing it!

01:33:46Why don't you drop a new contract for the guy, then?

01:33:49I'm not gonna discuss negotiations.

01:33:51Whoa!

01:33:52Whoa!

01:33:53What'd you just say?

01:33:54You know, always make an addendum to the contract or drop a new one.

01:33:59It's too close!

01:34:00It's just a matter of writing words on a piece of paper.

01:34:03What's wrong with doing that?

01:34:05You got something to lose?

01:34:07Bobby Heenan, please.

01:34:09You're actually, you're almost in tears, Bobby Heenan.

01:34:12I've got an investment here.

01:34:13I stand a chance to really clean your ass.

01:34:16There you go.

01:34:19Well, right now, ladies and gentlemen, let's take a look

01:34:22at perhaps the next World Wrestling Federation champion.

01:34:25Let's take a look at Rowdy Roddy Piper.

01:34:33Rowdy Roddy Piper.

01:34:35I think Piper's the pitch as well, McMahon.

01:34:39I'm sure you are.

01:34:41Rowdy Roddy Piper hoping that his dream comes true.

01:34:45He is one of the many participants in the Royal Rumble.

01:34:49The winner of which will be the undisputed World Wrestling Federation champion.

01:34:54Unfortunately for Mr. Piper's opponent in the ring now,

01:34:58the Brooklyn Brawler, he has not qualified to be in the Royal Rumble.

01:35:04This Rowdy Roddy Piper, he has a dream.

01:35:08Some people dream.

01:35:09Some people go out and just get the job done.

01:35:12Really?

01:35:13Mr. Piper never looking.

01:35:15Wait a minute.

01:35:16What is this?

01:35:17What is it?

01:35:18Hey, champ, what do you think Piper's chances are of winning the Royal Rumble?

01:35:22Oh, Mr. Perfect.

01:35:24His chances of winning the Royal Rumble are astronomical.

01:35:28As a matter of fact,

01:35:31I'm going to be there and walk you down the aisle.

01:35:34He may not even show up.

01:35:37Got it.

01:35:38Whoo.

01:35:39Oh, my goodness.

01:35:41There you heard it.

01:35:44Looks like the brawler has blown his pants out there.

01:35:47Hey, Roddy Piper.

01:35:49Oh, wait a minute.

01:35:50That's Roddy Piper's T-shirt.

01:35:51He's got another blowout right there at Piper's shirt.

01:35:54What's he going to do about it, Piper?

01:35:5730 minutes from one side to the other.

01:35:59To the turnbuckle.

01:36:00Brawler going from pillar to post.

01:36:03Nice reversal there on the part of the brawler.

01:36:05Off the ropes.

01:36:07Piper with a clothesline.

01:36:09Piper coming back with another one.

01:36:12Roddy Piper all over the Brooklyn Brawler.

01:36:14I've never seen Piper so excited.

01:36:16He smells that World Championship belt.

01:36:18He knows the Royal Rumble's around the corner.

01:36:22Yeah, just about two weeks away, but look at this.

01:36:25Look at this.

01:36:26Piper with the brawler's hat.

01:36:29You know what he looks like with that hat on?

01:36:31What's the name of that group?

01:36:32In the Navy.

01:36:33Oh, my goodness.

01:36:34Off the rope.

01:36:36Sleeper hold.

01:36:38The brawler may go nigh-nigh.

01:36:42Piper hanging on to the sleeper hold.

01:36:44How about that?

01:36:45He pins him with a sleeper hold.

01:36:48Never can tell what's going to happen

01:36:50when Roddy Roddy Piper's around.

01:36:53You can clean your shirt off, Piper.

01:36:56He's cleaning it off with the brawler now.

01:36:59And Roddy Roddy Piper could very well be

01:37:01cleaning out at the moment.

01:37:03In the Navy.

01:37:04In the Navy.

01:37:06Sleeper hold.

01:37:09Roddy Roddy Piper hats off to him.

01:39:55And by the way, by this time next week,

01:39:57perhaps Bobby Heenan and Mr. Perfect would have worked out their difficulties.

01:40:00Perhaps indeed.

01:40:02Stop right there, McManakin.

01:40:04You with the gunny sack on and you two other bozos.

01:40:08You stay out of our business.

01:40:10If there's any trouble with Bobby Heenan and myself or Ric Flair,

01:40:14I'll take care of it.

01:40:16All right, Bobby?

01:40:17Fair enough, fair enough.

01:40:18We'll work out everything.

01:40:20Mind your own business.

01:40:21Right.

01:40:22So I guess we just have one big happy family again, huh?

01:40:25That's right.

01:40:26Everything's smooth.

01:40:27We'll handle it.

01:40:28We've been friends too long.

01:40:29We've got too much invested.

01:40:30I agree.

01:40:31Too many things going on.

01:40:32You know that, buddy.

01:40:33No problem.

01:40:34By the way, what are you doing this weekend, Mr. Heenan?

01:40:36This weekend?

01:40:37Yeah.

01:40:38Be in New York City.

01:40:40I understand that, but aren't you right here on the USA Network?

01:40:42Well, yeah, I'm hosting up all night the movie show that runs all night,

01:40:46Me and Me and Gene O'Connor.

01:40:47We'll be talking about the pay-per-view and the Royal Rumble

01:40:50and all the action that's going down.

01:40:52But I understand that's quite a lucrative contract.

01:40:54You're being paid handsomely for that.

01:40:55Big bucks.

01:40:57Mr. Perfect, did you know anything about it?

01:40:59Did you know that Bobby Heenan was...

01:41:00Look at the look on his face.

01:41:01He don't have a clue.

01:41:02You don't know too much about what Bobby Heenan does for himself, do you?

01:41:05Wait a second.

01:41:06What are you doing?

01:41:07What is he doing?

01:41:08He is hosting up all night and being paid handsomely for it.

01:41:11You see, my point is this.

01:41:12You're excluded, Mr. Perfect.

01:41:13Wait a minute.

01:41:14You're cut out of the deal.

01:41:15It doesn't concern you.

01:41:16That's what we're...

01:41:17I didn't mean it wouldn't concern you.

01:41:18Let me keep trying to tell you.

01:41:19You're cut out of this deal.

01:41:21He's burying the guy until he's gone.

01:41:23You shut up and sit down.

01:41:24Because there's something I can't stand is someone doing stuff behind my back.

01:41:27I got a problem with you.

01:41:28You're burying the guy, didn't you?

01:41:29You shut up and get the hell out of here.

01:41:31You're caught out.

01:41:32I'm caught.

01:41:33You're caught.

01:41:34You shut up and I'll put one across your lap.

01:41:38You're here for everything.

01:41:39Listen to me now.
