00:00Well, Stephanie and Tash are getting married two weeks from tonight, and we have the privilege of singing live on Raw, two weeks from tonight, from the sold-out Staples Center in Los Angeles.
00:09What about that stuffed animal they just got as an engagement gift from...
00:13This is a major squirrel! That's... you know what, that's...
00:15It's a thought they can't...
00:16I know, but that should be an omen to Stephanie. I just don't think she's doing the right thing, JR.
00:22Uh-oh.
00:33Thinkin' of the right thing, though!
00:34Woo-hoo!
00:35What about it, JR?
00:40Oh, wow!
00:42Whoa!
00:46Ha-ha!
00:47Why not?
00:47Tryin' to guess why.
00:48I'd have to have my smile surgically removed if I had that many holes in me.
00:52Can you imagine Triple H tryin' to get those investigators to go talk to Vince McMahon about being responsible for running down Austin in that car?
01:00And did you hear him say, attempted vehicular homicide?
01:03I heard that, and I also heard Triple H let those guys straight. He said he's not gonna speak to them again until he talks to his own lawyer. That's a smart thing to do.
01:11You should know.
01:13It's time, once again, for everybody to come aboard the...
01:21Man, I know I ain't the only one.
01:23Is there any pimps up in this house?
01:30Do all y'all know that the Godfather be pimpin' hoes nationwide?
01:36Man, I want you to roll a fatty for this pimp daddy. Light that blood up and say...
01:46I gotta be careful with the, uh, cops here.
01:49And his opponent, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 237 pounds, the only Olympic gold medalist to ever grace a WWF ring, and the most celebrated athlete, real athlete, in the WWF history, Kurt Angle!
02:13Kurt Angle gettin' booed out of the building here. Look at all those gold medals.
02:18Hey. Hey, Kurt. Is that a real gold medal?
02:25Well, listen, man. Before all these people start booing you...
02:31Some real stuff right there, J.R.
02:33Let me see if I can save this. I will trade you, those are real gold medals, right?
02:37Oh, wait a minute.
02:38I will trade you that gold medal for... Well, they don't have any gold, but they have a hell of a gold spot.
02:50I'm here to wrestle.
02:53This guy's an Olympic gold medalist. Come on. He's around here in Pittsburgh, too, by the way. It's his hometown.
03:01And plus, J.R., this place is crawling with cops in these hoes out here. You know, they're the receivers of swollen goods.
03:08Oh, King, for God's sakes. Kurt Angle made his official debut at the Survivor Series and was booed in Detroit.
03:14And a nice go-behind by Angle. 1996 Olympic gold medal winner in the freestyle competition.
03:23Kurt Angle had all of those great matches, all that competition in the Olympics, and all the great athletes.
03:28You think he ever dreamed in his wildest... Oh, look out! Look out, Kurt!
03:32Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that his first match here on Raw would be against a pimp.
03:39What about that, J.R.?
03:42Oh, look at this, King. He's not a pimp.
03:47What's going on here?
03:48I can't believe this. You cheer a pimp and his hoes over an Olympic gold medalist.
03:57What is wrong with you people?
04:00Well, this is Pittsburgh, Kurt.
04:03They got booed in Detroit, too.
04:05Well, and Angle looking for that single leg.
04:08And the Godfather looking for the enziguri, but Angle saw that one coming.
04:16Angle, nice arm drag takedown.
04:20I'll tell you what, Kurt Angle may have a... He's not going to be as popular, apparently, as he thought he was going to be.
04:26Or at least as popular as he thinks he is in his own mind, apparently.
04:29What's happened to patriotism in this country? Have we sunk to an all-time low?
04:34I mean, look at this guy's outfit. He's waving Old Glory, the red, white, and blue.
04:37He fought for this country, against the world.
04:41Right now, he's got his hands full fighting against the Godfather.
04:47Godfather now scooping up Angle.
04:49This is not a position that Angle wanted to be in.
04:53And now, the Godfather looking to put the Olympic gold medal winner away.
04:59Angle got his knees up right in the abdomen of the Godfather.
05:02Another deep arm drag takedown by Angle.
05:05And Godfather, whose forte, let's say, is not amateur-style wrestling, to say the least.
05:13Nice shot there, though.
05:15Godfather's about 6'6", maybe 6'8".
05:18Certainly a 300-pounder, to say the least.
05:21And this manhandling of Angle back into the corner, Kurt Angle, from here in Pittsburgh.
05:25The only man in the history of the WWF to ever be an Olympic gold medal winner.
05:30You might be able to see the Ho Train here.
05:36Here it comes. Ho Train time.
05:40Wait a second.
05:41What?
05:42That guy's on...
05:43That fellow holding that sign.
05:46Angle!
05:49That guy's been around here all night, there.
05:52Uh-oh, Angle.
05:53Angle just elevated and dropped the Godfather.
05:57And the Godfather looking at the protester, where the hell the guy is.
06:00Here is your winner, Kurt Angle!
06:06Wow, I was looking at that guy, too.
06:09I'll tell you what, nobody should ever come inside this barricade unless they're authorized.
06:14And fans are not authorized to come inside the barricade.
06:17That's no man's land, gang.
06:18You know that as well as anybody.
06:20Even ones with goofy, spooky signs.
06:23What did that guy's sign say?
06:24I didn't catch it.
