00:00It's raw talent that's got me to the top of the World Wrestling Federation.
00:07And tonight, Hacksaw Jim Duggan is gonna find out
00:12why I'm the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Champion.
00:18Get him, get him, get him, get him.
00:48I can't believe it,
00:55get him, get him.
01:02I can't believe it.
01:10Get back!
01:12Get back, come on.
01:14Get back!
01:16Come on!
01:17Get back in there!
01:18Come on!
01:27Come on.
01:28Give it a shot!
01:30Hey, come on!
01:34We are live from New York City, we're here in Haddon Center.
02:02It's Monday Night Raw.
02:07Hello everyone, welcome to Monday Night Raw.
02:10I'm Vince McMahon, along with the Macho Man Randy Savage and Bobby Tranhenan.
02:14We already saw some of the action that went down earlier tonight.
02:18There's no telling what's gonna happen in the Lumberjack match tonight.
02:22Shawn Michaels forced to return here tonight, courtesy of Jack Tunney.
02:27Shawn Michaels once again has to put the title on the line against Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
02:31Did you see what happened out front?
02:33I was out there.
02:35Let me explain something.
02:37Mr. Perfect pulls up in an unmarked car, no cab, no limo.
02:42Why?
02:43Because he was paid off by Hacksaw Jim Duggan to do a job for Shawn Michaels.
02:50That's right, it just hit me, it just hit me.
02:54Hacksaw Duggan, I hope you're aware.
02:56There's gonna be a Lumberjack out here in a Lumberjack shirt, but he weighs 505 pounds.
03:04Wait a minute, he won't have on a shirt because they can't find one big enough.
03:09And I'm talking about Yokozuna.
03:11Well, Yokozuna's not the only Lumberjack around the ring tonight.
03:15Yokozuna's one hell of a Lumberjack, but I got a perfect Lumberjack for you.
03:19It's Mr. Perfect, and he's already thrown Shawn Michaels,
03:23the Intercontinental Champion, through a windshield.
03:27In an unscheduled street fight, and that's not all, get busy, Hacksaw.
03:32Do it, do it, do it.
03:32The contest, scheduled for one fall, is a qualifying match for
03:38the World Wrestling Federation King of the Ring Tournament.
03:44Introducing first from Asbury Park, New Jersey.
03:47Weighing 390 pounds, Bam, Bam, Big Elite.
03:55Big Bam, Bam Bigelow, what a matchup.
03:59This is gonna be here on Monday Night Raw.
04:01We are live from the Manhattan City, and Bam, Bam's in big trouble tonight.
04:07Well, this is for the King of the Ring qualifying.
04:10Guess what, Typhoon?
04:11He wants it big time, and I talked to him already.
04:15Bam, Bam waiting patiently for his opponent, the building sucks the rock.
04:20The building sucks the shake.
04:22Can you imagine two men this size going for it?
04:29They're going for the honor to be in the King of the Ring.
04:32My money's on Bam, Bam.
04:33Bam, Bam looks more intense.
04:35He's pacing, he's walking back and forth, he is ready.
04:39Over 700 pounds in the squared circle, not counting the officialness,
04:45of course, a qualified match for
04:47the King of the Ring Tournament to be held on Sunday, June 13th.
04:52I got a question for you, who's got the weight advantage here, or does it matter?
04:55Typhoon by a hair, off the rope, Big Bam, Bam.
04:59Nobody goes anywhere, Bam, Bam, Bigelow, Typhoon.
05:05Talk about the beef, take a look at it here in the WWF.
05:08And again, no one goes anywhere.
05:10Looks like two 18 wheelers on the interstate, hitting head on.
05:15Both men wanting to qualify for the King of the Ring Tournament.
05:18Off the rope, Bam, Bam, and again.
05:20Shoulder lock and no one goes anywhere.
05:22Irresistible force versus the immovable object.
05:26Typhoon coming underneath now, and trying to really get underneath, and no.
05:31Whoa, that's the only way I've ever seen Bigelow slam.
05:35There's a lot you haven't seen, you're gonna see it tonight.
05:37Savage, you give me any more trouble, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
05:40Would you please?
05:42He starts on me Vince, all the time.
05:43Yeah, I'm jealous of him, he picks on me every time now.
05:46Get a life.
05:47Typhoon now with a wrist lock here on Big Bam, Bam Bigelow.
05:51The winner of this matchup continues.
05:53They will qualify for the King of the Ring.
05:55And a scoop here, and a, no, he can't quite, well he does.
05:59Slams him across the elbow.
06:03And Bam, Bam just able to get Typhoon on.
06:06Look at this, and misses.
06:08Both men tenacious.
06:10Both men wanna be a part of the King of the Ring Tournament.
06:14A headbutt.
06:15That's using your head, dummy.
06:18If it works, why not?
06:21That's right, that's what I always say.
06:22Yeah, you have to, nah, never mind.
06:25Yeah, well, I'll tell you one thing.
06:26We are likely to see the Intercontinental title change hands right here tonight,
06:31on Monday Night Raw.
06:32Jack Tony, president of the WWF, forcing Shawn Michaels to once again return,
06:37justifiably return, and defend the title in this most unusual manner.
06:40And if you've never seen a Lumberjack match, you're in for a treat.
06:43Randy Savage, you've been in a number of them.
06:45Absolutely, Shawn Michaels' intentions were good,
06:48mouthing off in front of the Manhattan Center.
06:50But his timing was- What a suplex.
06:54I'll tell you something, Savage.
06:55Tell me one thing.
06:57I always thought you did this.
06:59But I know- Look at this, all the way to the outside now.
07:02But I know Tony can be bought.
07:04I know Tony, you can grease his palm real easy.
07:07That's why I think Hacksaw Jim Duggan did this.
07:09Wait a minute, Typhoon to the outside now.
07:12Typhoon, Bam, Bam, back in.
07:14Nail, nail, nail.
07:15There, good move.
07:16To the head, Typhoon hammering away.
07:18Come on, Ruff, get in there, do your job.
07:20No, Typhoon in the ring post, out of the metal, stabs to the outside.
07:26That's gonna be a tough one to come back from right there, Typhoon.
07:29It just shows you how bad everybody wants to be in the King of the Ring.
07:32I'm sorry for interrupting you, I didn't mean to.
07:34Excuse me, I'm very sorry, thank you.
07:35Right.
07:38And again, attempt to get back into the ring.
07:39Grated with another hammer there.
07:42Typhoon.
07:44It looks to me like the top of Bam Bam's head's been busted open a bit.
07:47I would imagine that's just a tattoo.
07:50And again, it seems to me if anyone's gonna be busted open,
07:55it's gonna be the big man, Typhoon.
07:57Ruff, start with Typhoon.
07:58384 pounds on him.
08:00Absolutely.
08:02Look how tough this Bam Bam Bigelow is.
08:05What? I mean, he's got like a three or
08:06four inch gash in his head, he's not, it doesn't even affect him.
08:11He is one tough customer.
08:13You know, you've got a point there at the top of the head.
08:15Now we can see, yes, the gash, that's not a tattoo.
08:19However- And it's not a elemental bug either.
08:26Typhoon suffering the consequences of the attack of Bam Bam Bigelow.
08:31So the big man slowing down both of them, Typhoon a bit more.
08:34Bam Bam may punch himself out, you never know how this is gonna turn out.
08:38Well, you know what slows Typhoon down, don't you?
08:40What's that?
08:41Twinkie.
08:42I beg your pardon?
08:44Hostess cupcakes, I'm sorry.
08:45Bam Bam, notice how he's using his weight to his advantage,
08:51leaning down on Typhoon, applying pressure in every way.
08:57He uses his weight to his advantage at dinner.
08:59That's 360 pounds, and look at this, Typhoon trying to come out of it,
09:04turning into his man, to the corner, nice maneuver.
09:07Typhoon trying to once again mount an offensive,
09:10beating him to the punch, or to the kick, whether there is Bam Bam Bigelow.
09:17Bam Bam, the reverse front face lock, and
09:20the matchup will continue when we return with more Monday Night Raw.
09:24Welcome back to more Monday Night Raw, we are live at the Manhattan Center.
09:30This is a qualifying matchup for the King of the Ring, and
09:33these two have been going at it.
09:34Back and forth, seesaw matchup, Bam Bam full of ride now,
09:38to the buckle, Typhoon moving in, and Bam Bam getting out of there.
09:41You know, I'm very surprised that- Wait a minute, look at this.
09:44Look at this.
09:45Wow. On the back, wide open maneuver by Bam Bam, now.
09:48Give Bam Bam credit right there.
09:50Bam Bam to the outside, now Bam Bam perhaps thinking he can finish off Typhoon.
09:54Third floor.
09:55Bam Bam going up to the top, 360 pounds to the top rope, no.
09:59He's got him, he's got him.
10:00He makes his mark, that'll do it.
10:01Deserves it, deserves it.
10:04One, two, and- Bam Bam's in, he's in the King of the Ring.
10:08Yes. Bam Bam.
10:11Bam Bam victorious, and Bam Bam has qualified for the King of the Ring tournament.
10:17And did you notice exactly the way he polished off Typhoon?
10:22It was reminiscent of someone else by the name of Tataka.
10:25The Native American, yes, you're right.
10:27And Tataka, I'm sure, is gonna be watching that, but it doesn't matter.
10:31Bottom line, Bam Bam's in the King of the Ring tournament.
10:35Victorious Bam Bam, Big Evil, there's a tag team combination knocking on
10:39the door of the WWF, The Smoking Gun.
10:41Bam.
10:43Bam.
10:44Bam.
10:45Bam.
10:46Bam.
10:47Bam.
10:48Bam.
10:49Bam.
10:50Bam.
10:51Bam.
10:52Bam.
10:53Bam.
10:54Bam.
10:55Bam.
10:56Bam.
10:57Bam.
10:58Bam.
10:59Bam.
11:00Bam.
11:01Bam.
11:02Bam.
11:03Bam.
11:04Bam.
11:05Bam.
11:06Bam.
11:08Bam.
11:09Bam.
11:10Bam.
11:11Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam.
11:12And by the way, Todd Pettengill, this coming Saturday morning at 10 o clock,
11:21we'll feature The Smoking Guns.
11:24They make their tag team debut on Monday.
11:26Bang.
11:27Bang.
11:28Bang.
11:29Yeah, look at her, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:33Sit down, Bobby.
11:35Sit down.
11:37You're just jealous, aren't you?
11:39Never you, brother.
11:41Coming down the aisle, and take a look at this man.
11:46This man is already headed to the King of the Ring event.
11:49Yokozuna.
11:50Yokozuna, hoping to defeat Hulk Hogan for
11:55the World Wrestling Federation title.
11:58Well, it's gonna be a lot easier this time.
12:01Perhaps they will.
12:02Cuz Yokozuna's not gonna have a 20-minute match before he wrestles Hulk Hogan.
12:08He's gonna be 100% fresh.
12:09Referring to WrestleMania, of course.
12:10Yes, I am, where Hulk Hogan cheap-shotted him and
12:14won the WWF Championship, courtesy of Jack Tunney.
12:17Hulk Hogan wrestled in a head-to-head match prior to getting in the ring with
12:21Yokozuna right there.
12:22Yeah, good point.
12:23Nonetheless, that's one-on-one in a matchup you do not wanna miss.
12:26There can be no excuses here on the part of Fuji or Yokozuna.
12:30One-on-one, the Hulkster defending the WWF title, I might add, for
12:34the first time since he won it at WrestleMania.
12:37Against a man whom he defeated, perhaps you wanna use that in quotes, Yokozuna.
12:42Put up or shut up, WWF title on the line.
12:46And by the way, before Yokozuna gets underway here tonight live on
12:50Monday Night Raw, Yokozuna set to return next week on Monday Night Raw to face
12:56another very, very big man, a huge obstacle in the form of the Ugandan giant,
13:01the mighty Kamala.
13:02Let me get this straight now.
13:03Yokozuna is gonna be wrestling Kamala next week?
13:05Right here.
13:06That's gonna be almost a half a ton of human beings in the ring.
13:09Yeah. A half a ton and 30 pounds, counting Slick.
13:13We will be live next week, right here from the Manhattan Center,
13:17when Kamala takes on Yokozuna.
13:21What a proud man Yokozuna is.
13:23I felt so sorry for him at WrestleMania, the way he was jobbed.
13:27Well, whether he was or whether he wasn't,
13:29he'll have his opportunity to regain the title.
13:32I'll tell you what I feel sorry for is the Hitman Bret Hart.
13:35What about him getting the rematch against Hulk Hogan?
13:38Hey, I told everybody for a year, I mean for months, that this guy,
13:41Bret the Hitman Hart, defended the title too much.
13:44He was doing too many personal appearances, too much charity work.
13:47He was burning the candle at both ends.
13:49Look what happened.
13:54You know, I don't know, these things just come into me, into my mind.
13:58But looking at Yokozuna, he's not 505 pounds, McMahon.
14:03He's close to 535, I bet.
14:05He does appear to be getting larger and
14:07larger as he bumps up for this matchup with the Hulkster.
14:11And take a look at this, Walker, my goodness.
14:15You told me it was 1,035 pounds, I believe you.
14:19What an athlete Yokozuna is, and drops the leg, forget about it.
14:24I think services are about 930 for this gentleman.
14:26And Yokozuna set to return later on.
14:29He's scheduled to be one of the lumberjacks surrounding the ring when
14:33Shawn Michaels defends the title, perhaps for the last time.
14:37Against Hucksaw, Jim.
14:38I understand they couldn't find a shirt to fit him.
14:41I wouldn't think so.
14:42Uh-oh, look at this.
14:44Banzai.
14:45And here he comes, and yeah.
14:47Forget about it.
14:49He can do that to you, Vince, and press your tux.
14:52Yeah, right.
14:54Uh-oh, look at this.
14:55Now coming up to the second rope.
14:56This is the worst move in wrestling right here.
14:59You're watching it, you're infuriated.
15:01Forget about it.
15:03The Hindenburg didn't go down that quick.
15:10Yokozuna will face the Hulkster at the King of the Ring event.
15:16Take a good look, Hulkster.
15:18There's the man that's gonna take your belt.
15:21It's not over until it's over.
15:22I got my money on Hulk Hogan.
15:24I know who said that, too, Yogi the Bear.
15:27You can't be bright, be polite, Hinden.
15:29And remember this, do unto others.
15:34From the side with a board if they're not looking.
15:38Yokozuna, what a celebration here on Monday Night Raw.
15:42Standing by, Mean Gene Orphan, he's gonna tell us a great deal more
15:46about the King of the Ring event.

18:08Yes, it is Raw.
18:10It's Monday Night Raw.
18:12Is that not for sex?
18:14That's not one of the next few bars, please.
18:16Well, it's obvious to me, McMahon, that some...
18:18Oh, look at that.
18:20Some cheap motel's missing a show.
18:23All right, it's time to get down for action.
18:30Mr. Perfect, you saw him earlier on

18:36Now let's see if he can deliver the Iron Man shot.
18:40Mr. Perfect's gonna be a great Lumberjack.
18:42He was a lap Lumberjack in Phoenix, Arizona.
18:45Did you know that, Bobby?
18:46A Lumberjack in Arizona?
18:48Absolutely.
18:49Savage, there are no trees in Arizona.
18:52He's done a real good job, Ashton.
18:54He's perfect, you see here.
18:57Mr. Perfect hoping to qualify
19:00for the King of the Ring later on next week,
19:02as a matter of fact.
19:03Wait a minute.
19:04He's flirting, he's flirting.
19:05Mr. Perfect has been smitten.
19:07He's in love.
19:08He's taking a look at one of the raw girls,
19:11if you know what I mean.
19:12Oh, he's peeing.
19:16Oh, I gotta keep this.
19:17Oh, no.
19:18This is raw.
19:19This is raw.
19:21This might be a television...
19:23Ooh.
19:24He just took his chewing gum out.
19:26He likes it.
19:27He likes it.
19:28He likes it.
19:29It's raw, it's uncooked.
19:32Uncensored.
19:33Come here, sweetheart.
19:34It's unchewable, that's what it is.
19:36Come here, sweetheart.
19:37I got a grilled cheese sandwich today.
19:39Would you like to taste the crust?
19:40She just got a piece of Mr. Perfect.
19:42It's great.
19:43All right, here we go.
19:44Iron Mike Sharp to lock up with Mr. Perfect.
19:47Something for everybody.
19:49You know, he did put his gum in a trash masher.
19:52And Iron Mike Sharp trying to exert his substantial power.
19:58Iron Mike the veteran.
20:02You know, I don't like the sound of this.
20:04You know, Mr. Perfect is going to be at ringside a little later on.
20:07He is going to be one of the Lumberjacks
20:09in that match for the Intercontinental Championship
20:11with Shawn Michaels and Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
20:14And you know you can't trust Perfect.
20:16You know what went on.
20:17Perfect with a dropkick.
20:18Would you be quiet, please?
20:19Mr. Perfect.
20:20You talking to me?
20:21In control of the matchup.
20:22Forget it.
20:23I won't talk to you.
20:24Knocked him out of the ring right there.
20:25I won't talk to you.
20:26What were you saying, Bobby Heenan?
20:27You talking to me?
20:28No, I was talking to the Macho Man.
20:29No, in the Lumberjack match, you can't just walk around the ring.
20:32They throw you back in and maybe a little something extra.
20:35Yes, and also, Yokozuna appears on the outside of the title matchup.
20:41Look at that.
20:42Iron Mike Sharp brought in the hard way.
20:44I'll tell you something.
20:45I've been in Lumberjack matches.
20:47And when they pick you up to throw you back in,
20:49believe me, there's always four or five guys
20:51that take a cheap shot at you.
20:52Hey, look at this.
20:53Perfect now with Iron Mike Sharp trying to set Chop.
20:56Ooh, I couldn't have liked it.
20:57And another one.
20:58Mr. Perfect laying him in on Iron Mike Sharp.
21:01Oh, a wreck in the face.
21:03Iron Mike now, a real tough operate.
21:05Ramming, no.
21:06Perfect puts on the brakes and Sharp going in.
21:08Repeatedly to the buckle.
21:10Five, six, seven, eight.
21:12This is amazing.
21:13This is amazing, McMahon.
21:15It's amazing.
21:16What's amazing?
21:17That these people here in New York can count to ten.
21:19Would you stop it?
21:21That should be you under receiving into those chops.
21:24They're gonna count to three in the Lumberjack match
21:26and the title's gonna change hands.
21:28And Perfect snaps him right over.
21:31All right.
21:32Mr. Perfect hoping to qualify for the King of the Ring.
21:35He had one matchup with Doink.
21:37Neither individual made it.
21:39A rematch has been ordered next weekend
21:41on the WF Wrestling Challenge.
21:43Oh, my goodness.
21:44Look at this.
21:47I love it.
21:48Whoa.
21:51And these two are just going at it.
21:53Here we go.
21:54Just like up front.
21:56That's not gonna happen.
21:57Perfect took another cheap shot.
21:59And I think it's just about time.
22:05Mr. Perfect here.
22:07Looks like he's had about enough of Iron Mike's shot.
22:10You got that right.
22:12This gets my blood boiling.
22:14I love this.
22:15And a knee lift.
22:18And he is perfect.
22:20I'm tired of watching him.
22:21I beg your pardon?
22:22I'm tired of watching him.
22:24What do you mean?
22:25I'm gonna do something else.
22:26What are you doing?
22:27I'm watching the weather channel.
22:28I love it when it rains and people can't have pancakes.
22:30That's not the weather channel, is it?
22:32That is the weather channel.
22:33We've got action here in the ring.
22:34What are you doing?
22:35Look, anybody can get in the army now.
22:36Would you?
22:37Iron Mike's shot charging down to the canvas.
22:40Mr. Perfect.
22:41Oh, look at this.
22:42We have won.
22:44And that's all we can get.
22:45Iron Mike's shot.
22:46What in the?
22:47Get off.
22:48What are you watching?
22:49I'm watching an underwear commercial.
22:51My favorite.
22:52That's terrific.
22:53Would you please stop this?
22:54That doesn't shock me at all.
22:55I think Bobby Heenan would like that.
22:56Hey, not that channel.
22:57Hey.
22:58Hey.
22:59Bobby Heenan, please.
23:01Nothing is exciting as Monday Night Raw.
23:03Exactly.
23:05Can we ignore Mr. Heenan, please?
23:07Where's that movie about that girl that goes to Dallas?
23:11Never mind.
23:12Give me that.
23:13Click on what?
23:14Put this down.
23:15There.
23:16Leave.
23:17Follower, get out of the way.
23:18It's a good movie.
23:19Would you like to have this?
23:20All right.
23:21The area visits Houston.
23:22Maybe you heard of that?
23:23Mr. Perfect.
23:24Going to work on Iron Mike.
23:25Who'd go to Houston though?
23:26And this has been Mr. Perfect's match up here in the latter stages.
23:29Reversal off the rim.
23:30Set up.
23:31And now, here he comes.
23:32Mr. Perfect.
23:34Sends it in.
23:35The Perfectplex 2.
23:36And a count of three.
23:37He got him.
23:38Pointing to this one.
23:39Big, big man.
23:41Here is your winner, Mr. Perfect.
23:48Mr. Perfect victorious, and we'll see him later on.
23:55He'll be one of the lumberjacks for the Intercontinental title matchup.
23:59Scheduled up next, Mr.
24:04Useful, you've got to watch TV.
24:07You don't want to watch Mr. Perfect.
24:09Give me that.
24:10Give me that.
24:12Get out.
24:12Get out.
24:13We are live from Manhattan Center, Bobby the Brain Heaton.
24:22For some reason, put his headset down.
24:24What is he trying to do?
24:24He's trying to get a phone number, but that's not gonna happen, believe me.
24:28I don't think so either.
24:29The Raw lady is staying away from Bobby Heaton, keeping her distance.
24:35Gotta have better taste than that guy.
24:36I think Bobby Heaton wants her number.
24:38He's got a number, his number's 1,000.
24:41Mr. Use is ready for action momentarily.
24:45Promotional consideration paid for by the following.
24:48You've got to want it.
25:01Chips.
25:03Gotta have beef, gotta have spice.
25:06Need a little excitement?
25:07Snap into a Slim Jim.
25:09Yeah.
25:10All right, we're ready to snap into it, all right?
25:15Take a look at this.
25:16Wait a minute, what's Harvey Whippleman doing?
25:18Wait a minute.
25:18With his manager, Harvey Whippleman.
25:22Wow.
25:24This is news.
25:25It certainly is.
25:27I wasn't aware that Harvey Whippleman, well, I'm playing coy.
25:32I knew this was happening.
25:34Nobody gets a scoop on me.
25:35I knew it.
25:35Now wait a minute, Bobby Heaton, you had your eyes on Mr.
25:38Hughes as well, did you not?
25:40Well, I can see where you could rip, I mean, make money with a guy like that.
25:43I mean, rip, what?
25:45You mean rip him off?
25:46No, I mean rip the World Wrestling Federation apart.
25:49Look at the size of this man, he's an athlete.
25:51This man is a good athlete.
25:53Mr. Hughes against the Kamikaze Kid.
25:56You and Hughes.
25:57Actually, I think he called himself the Cannonball Kid this week.
26:00Kamikaze Kid last week.
26:03This isn't one of any better.
26:05You and Mr. Hughes told me?
26:06Coming here to Raw tonight, he walked through Central Park with 20s hanging out
26:10of his pocket, just to see if he could have some fun.
26:13He got all the way up here to Raw, he had $100 bills in his pocket.
26:17You figure it out.
26:18Is Mr. Hughes one of the Lumberjacks?
26:20I believe he is.
26:22Yes, I believe he is, yes.
26:24Well, let me tell you something.
26:25This guy spells trouble for the WWF, let me tell you this.
26:29By the ears, by the ears.
26:30My goodness, unbelievable.
26:34Hey, Kid, do you hear that?
26:37By the way, this Wednesday, right here on USA, you don't wanna miss an ex-call girl.
26:42Get this, Bobby Heenan, an ex-call girl and an ex-con team up to catch a thief.
26:48Don't miss sex, love, and cold, hard cash.
26:52It's a USA world premiere movie this Wednesday, 9 Eastern, 8 Central.
26:57We know where you'll be at.
26:58An ex-con and an ex-call girl team up.
27:00Story of my life.
27:02Story of my life.
27:03The Nasty Boys.
27:03Unauthorized.
27:05Would you please lay off the Nasty Boys?
27:07To the buckle.
27:09Man, need to change your name again, Cannonball Kid.
27:12Yeah, Heartbreak Kid, Hard Luck Kid.
27:15Hard Luck Kid, I'll admit you there.
27:16No luck, kid.
27:17Mr. Hughes, come on.
27:19Mr. Hughes totally having his way here on Monday Night Raw.
27:23And he wrestles with glasses on.
27:24That's amazing how dangerous that could be.
27:26I don't see Mr. Hughes in any danger.
27:30Not right now.
27:32He has been dominating.
27:34Harvey Wiffleman on the outside.
27:36I guess he won the lottery, so to speak, to represent Mr. Hughes.
27:40That spells trouble, I don't like that at all.
27:43And manages Giant Gonzalo.
27:45Yes.
27:46Whoa, did you see that?
27:49Wow.
27:52Definitely got his own wrecking crew going.
27:54Maybe a dynasty in the WWF.
27:56This match has been all Mr. Hughes thus far.
28:00Look at the elevation.
28:01Forget about it.
28:04You know, he's got a lot of money, too.
28:06Did you know that?
28:06Mr. Hughes, I think his first name's Howard.
28:08Mr. Hughes.
28:09I don't believe it's the same Hughes.
28:11He's real neat, he just cleaned the ring.
28:17Number one, Mr. Hughes.
28:19And you might catch him this coming Sunday at 12 noon
28:23on All American Wrestling.
28:26You know what that is, Bobby.
28:27All over America, people are watching All American Wrestling.
28:31That's because Bobby the Brain Heenan and myself
28:34are traveling all over the country
28:35to bring you the best action the World Wrestling
28:37Federation has to offer.
28:38I got tickets to New York, to Los Angeles, to Las Vegas,
28:41to Paris, even Mars.
28:43Mars?
28:43That's impossible, Bobby.
28:44The World Wrestling Federation said
28:46they'll spare no expense to make sure we're happy.
28:49Gene and Bobby are hitting the road.
28:51Sundays on USA.
28:53Hey, you think the next time they
28:54could at least rent us a car?
28:58Yes, you can catch Bobby the Brain Heenan and me and Gene
29:01on All American.
29:02And unfortunately, Bobby the Brain
29:03is right here as well with us on Monday Night Raw.
29:05You know, it's no fun being with him every week.
29:07What do you mean?
29:07Well, he takes you over to places, he's a dead beef.
29:10He doesn't have a credit card, he's got no cash.
29:11Next week, you've got Rush one-on-one
29:14against Blake Beverly on All American.
29:16And you're not even aware of it.
29:18Well, yes, I am aware of it, because I know Bo told me.
29:20Bo might be at ringside.
29:22You know, it's an exclusive on All American.
29:24Naturally.
29:24Only on All American.
29:25I got it, that's what an exclusive means.
29:27Oh, here we go.
29:28The Lumberjacks.
29:29Yeah, this is going to be a lot of fun for somebody.
29:32The Lumberjacks starting to pour in right now.
29:35Bobby Heenan's just depressed, because the Raw girl
29:38turned him down.
29:39She did not.
29:40She gave me her number, her answering machine,
29:42her business, and her home phone, her car phone.
29:45She gave me her aunt's number and her third husband's
29:47phone number, I could find her during the day.
29:50The Lumberjack matchup is headed right at you here,
29:54live from the Manhattan Center on Monday Night Raw,
29:57when we return.
30:01We're back live on Monday Night Raw at the Manhattan Center.
30:04The Lumberjacks all surrounding the squared circle.
30:07We are anxiously awaiting the presence of Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
30:10Here we go.
30:11The following contest scheduled for one fall
30:16is the Lumberjack match for the World Wrestling Federation
30:20and World Cup Intercontinental Championship.
30:22Here is the challenger, from Twin Falls, New York,
30:27Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
30:29Look at this, Hacksaw Jim Duggan hammering away on Yokozuna.
30:33Caught him by surprise, caught him from behind, and Yoko is angry.
30:37Yokozuna wants to get in there.
30:39There's a history between these two.
30:41You recall, Yokozuna broke Hacksaw Jim Duggan's ribs seven months ago.
30:46It's already getting wild.
30:48Duggan looking at Yokozuna on the outside.
30:54He may have some difficulty concentrating on winning the title here tonight.
30:58Listen to this.
30:59USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA.
31:05You know, another thing, McMahon, you gotta take consideration.
31:07Shawn Michaels is gonna be in this ring with Mr. Perfect down here.
31:11And here he comes, Shawn Michaels, reluctantly defending the title.
31:16Uh-oh, uh-oh, what is that?
31:18Leonardo.
31:20Well, you know, he went through the windshield of that cheap little car,
31:24Mr. Perfect pulled up in.
31:26What is this?
31:27I know he hurt his knee, I know it.
31:31Hey, wait just a moment.
31:32We promised you an intercontinental title matchup here tonight.
31:36You recall last week, Shawn Michaels was beside himself when
31:41Jack Tunney insisted on this rematch.
31:44Well, I guess Duggan won this one cuz he paid Perfect off to do a number on him
31:49out front.
31:50I don't know, you tend to blend fiction with the truth.
31:53I'm not sure about this.
31:55This man can't wrestle, he's hurt.
31:57Well, then something's gotta give here.
31:59No, Father, maybe they should fight for the issue.
32:01No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
32:03We should fight for the title.
32:04If Jack Tunney were here, he could make a ruling.
32:07If Jack Tunney was here, he'd have his hand up looking for talent.
32:10Wait a minute, that's Mr. Perfect.
32:12I can't believe he attacked him again.
32:16Shawn Michaels, wait a minute, he's not hurt.
32:20He's not hurt at all.
32:21It's a miracle.
32:22That didn't work.
32:23It's a miracle.
32:24That didn't work.
32:25Look at that.
32:26I saw Jim Duggan knock him right out of the ring.
32:29Mr. Perfect throws him back in and here we go.
32:31Ring that bell.
32:32Ring that bell.
32:33Officially underway and the title's on the line.
32:36He's not dressed to wrestle.
32:38That's too bad.
32:39Real too bad, get over it.
32:41Way up in the air.
32:43Down to the big wall.
32:44And down to the canvas.
32:47Hacksaw Jim Duggan's gonna win the Intercontinental title right here tonight on
32:51Monday Night Raw.
32:52Off the rope and a scoops.
32:54Yeah, only one place to go.
32:56Down to the buckle now.
32:57Yeah, he doesn't look good for Michaels.
33:00This is a conspiracy.
33:02Duggan paid off all these humanoids in lumberjack shirts.
33:07He paid off Mr. Perfect and he's paid off Tunney.
33:10Yeah, Shawn Michaels was real comfy coming out here with crutches, yeah.
33:14And look at this, an early pin.
33:15And we have won, two wins.
33:17No. Did he get him?
33:18Did he what, did he get him?
33:19No.
33:23I can't believe the stunt Shawn Michaels tried to pull.
33:26Fading an injury early on.
33:29Look at this.
33:30And Hacksaw Jim Duggan with a hard left hand and another right hand.
33:34Look at this.
33:35Duggan going to work.
33:36You know, this may be more Raw than we expected.
33:41Certainly more action in the Lennox Lewis fight last Saturday Night, that's for sure.
33:45Absolutely.
33:46This place is rocking and reeling and we're all dancing on the ceiling.
33:49Get him, Hacksaw.
33:50Shawn Lewis made a comeback.
33:51Stop it.
33:53Up in the air now.
33:55And down to the canvas again.
33:58This isn't fair.
33:58This is a dream for Hacksaw Jim.
34:00Take another cover.
34:01One, two, three.
34:03No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
34:06Hacksaw Jim Duggan's sitting pretty right now, brother.
34:09Sure, he's paid off everybody around the ring.
34:11He has not.
34:12He paid off Perfect.
34:13Michaels up and down.
34:14Look at this.
34:15Michaels coming right back down to the canvas.
34:18Awaiting him, Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
34:21And again, every moment that ticks away in this matchup brings Hacksaw Jim Duggan
34:26close to winning the Intercontinental title.
34:29No guts.
34:29Go ahead, Savage.
34:30No guts, no glory.
34:32Hacksaw's got the guts.
34:33Shawn Michaels got a yellow streak down his back.
34:36And Hacksaw Jim Duggan, after all these years with not one opportunity to be the WWF
34:42Champion or Intercontinental Champion, now finds himself in a rematch for
34:46the Intercontinental Championship.
34:47And he's already qualified for the King of the Ring tournament.
34:51Well, sure, he had Perfect about two and a half hours ago go out front and
34:56do a number on Shawn Michaels, a sneak attack.
34:58I guess he has the advantage.
35:01This has been all Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
35:03And again, you can just see everything just coming right out of Shawn Michaels.
35:08He's being worn down to a frazzle.
35:10Look at this.
35:10Hacksaw Jim Duggan all over him.
35:12Yokozuna looking up.
35:14Yokozuna even got a wake-up call from Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
35:17Hacksaw Jim Duggan came to fight.
35:20You notice Yokozuna is on one side completely by himself.
35:24Well, who would want to be over there with him?
35:26Who could be over there with him?
35:29Nobody.
35:30Who needs to be over there with him?
35:33I'm handing the elbow to Shawn Michaels.
35:36And again, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, cover him again.
35:39Cover him, Big Jim.
35:41You're right, Mr. McMahon, go for the pin.
35:43And look, there's Mr. Perfect standing right behind him.
35:49Mr. Perfect on the back side of the ring.
35:52Chin locked now.
35:52Hacksaw Jim Duggan content to wear him down as we see over on this side.
35:56Big Bam Bam Bigelow busted open earlier on.
35:59Uh-oh.
35:59Look at that.
36:00I'm telling you, this is gonna be raw.
36:02This is gonna be raw.
36:03No doubt about it.
36:05Boy, we're gonna see things-
36:05It already is.
36:07Hacksaw Jim Duggan cinching in the bear hug.
36:16Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
36:21Come on, hold on, Shawn.
36:23Hold on.
36:24Look at this.
36:25Duggan now has enough.
36:26He's gonna slam him down with a candle.
36:28Duggan's been in control the whole match.
36:30Shawn has not stood a chance.
36:31Cover, two and three.
36:33Gets him, and we have a new champion.
36:34No, no, no, no.
36:36Count of two.
36:37This man has been in a fight since seven o'clock tonight.
36:40That's his own fault.
36:42It's not his fault.
36:43It's not my fault.
36:44Savage, I'm gonna have to ask you.
36:47You know when the trade blows with Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
36:50No, you don't.
36:50He's not very smart.
36:53The red, the white, and the blue.
36:54I'm not so sure that Shawn Michaels knows where he is right now.
36:58Michaels may think he's back outside on the streets of New York.
37:02Going through another window.
37:03Mr. Perfect in the background, big grin on his face.
37:07He likes what he sees in the moment.
37:09Look at these lumberjacks around the ring.
37:12Are they menacing or what?
37:15Hacksaw Jim Duggan slowly and surely wearing down Shawn Michaels to the buckle.
37:21And this is turning into a beating, folks.
37:23That's what this is.
37:25This is just a thrashing.
37:27It's a mauling.
37:28It's horrible.
37:29This isn't fair at all.
37:31Hacksaw Jim Duggan with that big hand.
37:33Right hand just hammering away.
37:36Suffering builds character and Shawn Michaels is gonna get some.
37:40Duggan trying to assert himself.
37:43Attempting to intimidate the official a moment ago.
37:46Hopefully, that won't happen.
37:47He could very well be disqualified.
37:49He has to come all this way to be disqualified.
37:53Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
37:55Series of forearms.
37:56Uh-oh.
37:58Come on, referee.
38:00Untie him.
38:02Come on.
38:03Life sometimes isn't fair, but this is doing good for the Hacksaw.
38:07Hacksaw Jim Duggan now.
38:09And Shawn Michaels hands him over the top.
38:11Oh, my goodness.
38:12Roll him back in.
38:14Unbelievable.
38:16Lumberjacks do your thing.
38:19Ladies, they're taking their time over there.
38:25Wait a minute.
38:26What's going on here?
38:28Hey, come back here.
38:29He's trying to leave the building.
38:30He's trying to leave the building.
38:32And Shawn Michaels is not going to leave the building.
38:35They're not going to let him.
38:37But you're going to have to leave the ranch.
38:39We'll be back.
38:40We'll be back.
38:41We'll be back.
38:42No, no, no.
38:43You stop that.
38:45We're back live from the Manhattan Center in New York City.
38:49And Hacksaw Jim Duggan continues to take it to Shawn Michaels.
38:53Slam after slam.
38:54And now, finally, this could be it.
38:57Off the rope and no.
38:59Missing with a knee.
39:00Duggan driving his knee down into the canvas.
39:03What is Shawn Michaels doing?
39:05His boot has fallen off, obviously.
39:08Wait a minute.
39:09I don't think it's fallen off.
39:11Desperate knee.
39:12Shawn Michaels, a desperate man.
39:15You bet.
39:15Shawn Michaels now with the boot in his hand.
39:17Oh, look at that.
39:18And the referee was knocked down as well.
39:20Duggan to the outside.
39:24Lumberjacks over there to help Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
39:26Help in quotes.
39:29And they reel him right back in.
39:31Shawn Michaels kicking away on Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
39:34Now, the matchup turned in Shawn Michaels' favor.
39:37Shawn Michaels kicks Duggan out again.
39:43Come on, get him in there.
39:45Heave him in there.
39:46Heave him in again.
39:47That's exactly what happened.
39:48Hughes and company heaving Hacksaw Jim Duggan back in.
39:51Look at the back on this man.
39:54Looking on.
39:55He probably likes what he sees right now.
39:57Because Hacksaw Jim Duggan is taking a drubbing.
40:00Shawn Michaels is being real smart.
40:02He's keeping Hacksaw between him and the Lumberjacks right now.
40:06Here he goes.
40:06Off the rope and down across the back of the head.
40:11Shawn Michaels an opportunist.
40:13And give credit to Shawn Michaels that he's back on his feet.
40:17Because Hacksaw Jim Duggan has really been roughing this matchup.
40:22He's an opportunist.
40:24And off, no.
40:26Oh, what a maneuver by Duggan.
40:28Come on, Shawn, get up.
40:30However, the big man could be running out of gas.
40:34Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
40:38Moving back in now.
40:40Duggan with a bad wheel.
40:41I think he's got a bad wheel right here.
40:43Yes, that's what it was.
40:44Hacksaw Jim Duggan raked across the face by Shawn Michaels.
40:47What a matchup we have here on Monday Night Raw.
40:49That's a shame.
40:50The first ever Lumberjack matchup here on Monday Night Raw.
40:53The brakes put on.
40:54Elbow to the section.
40:55Down to the buckle of Shawn Michaels.
40:58A grueling matchup.
40:59Michaels to the far side.
41:01And oh my goodness, did you see that?
41:04Duggan running right into that boot.
41:06You got him, Shawn.
41:10Shawn Michaels, the cover, hooks the leg.
41:12He could get him too.
41:14No, a kick out by Big Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
41:18And now Shawn Michaels trying to wear the big man down.
41:22Watch that forearm slip underneath the chin.
41:27Come on, Big Hacksaw.
41:29The side headlock.
41:30Don't you know the holds?
41:34Shawn Michaels will do anything to hold on to the Intercontinental title.
41:38Nonetheless, I believe it's slipping from his grasp here on Monday Night Raw.
41:42Here he is.
41:43The Minnesota.
41:44Seem menacing or what?
41:45Yeah, next week meeting Kamala.
41:47What a matchup.
41:48That's gonna be right here on Monday Night Raw.
41:51Those cowboy boots on Shawn Michaels have come in handy.
41:54Well, he's not Intercontinental Champion for nothing.
41:59He's a very smart man.
42:00And the third one now by Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
42:04Duggan with a hard forearm.
42:06Hits the rope and ducks the clothesline.
42:08Coming back at him.
42:09Oh my goodness.
42:11He just rolled over him.
42:13Unbelievable.
42:14Get away from perfect.
42:16Hacksaw Jim Duggan, a freight train.
42:19And a forearm on Shawn Michaels.
42:21And a whip to the rope again.
42:22And, no, no.
42:26Who's gonna be the survivor?
42:28Who's gonna get the title?
42:30I'm amazed that didn't break Shawn Michaels' spine in two.
42:33Unbelievable.
42:34What a backdrop.
42:35He took a backdrop in the ring.
42:37Three hours ago, he took a meal on the hood of a car.
42:40The punishment-
42:41Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
42:42Look at this.
42:43Yokozuna looking on very close to the action.
42:46Mr. Fuji there as well.
42:48Yokozuna has not forgotten what happened before the match officially began.
42:53Hacksaw Jim Duggan coming from the blind side and knocking the big man down.
42:58And stay away from that side of the ring if I was Hacksaw guaranteed.
43:03Yeah, boy, his eyes.
43:04He don't know which side of the ring he's on.
43:05Good job, Michael.
43:07Moving in.
43:08A little late on that maneuver.
43:09Shawn Michaels trying to capitalize on his speed and agility.
43:13Michaels now leaping in.
43:15Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
43:16Hacksaw Jim Duggan catches him in midair.
43:18This could be it.
43:20Oh, no, this doesn't look good at all.
43:22Come on.
43:23Come on, Shawn.
43:23Down to the canvas with authority.
43:26Duggan looked at Yokozuna a moment ago.
43:30No, no, no, no.
43:32He didn't get him.
43:32He didn't get him.
43:33Shawn should have fight.
43:34That's the fight of the-
43:35Can't understand why Hacksaw Jim Duggan is not cinching up Shawn Michaels.
43:39He should have reached for the leg to gain additional leverage.
43:42Because he's not a bright man, McMahon.
43:44He what?
43:45He's not a bright guy.
43:50Duggan with another forearm.
43:52Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
43:55Oh, this could be it.
43:56Hacksaw Jim Duggan is back.
43:57Three points dance.
43:59He's out.
44:00The charge, yes, to the canvas.
44:02And Shawn Michaels is all the way out.
44:05Shawn Michaels is outside.
44:08And they're taking their sweet time with him.
44:10We'll be back and the match will continue.
44:13Wow.
44:16The match continues on Monday Night Raw.
44:19We're running out of time.
44:21We are live from the Manhattan Center and Shawn Michaels in control of things.
44:26Shawn Michaels has turned this matchup around.
44:28He packs off to the buckle.
44:30Shawn Michaels down.
44:31Shawn, no.
44:31And he comes in.
44:33Oh, no.
44:34Nobody home.
44:36Time is precious.
44:38And now, Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
44:40Bam Bam's up on the apron.
44:42The opportunity to finish this thing was-
44:43Hey, wait a minute.
44:44Get him down, Raph.
44:45Get down.
44:46Get him down, Raph.
44:47Get him down.
44:48Duggan.
44:50Duggan.
44:54Oh, no.
44:54Look at this.
44:55Oh, wait a minute.
44:56Yoko Tsuno's out there.
44:58Yoko Tsuno.
44:59The referee's distracted by Bam Bam Bigelow.
45:02Yoko Tsuno.
45:03Oh, man.
45:04Oh, he's finished.
45:06That's it.
45:07Nobody gets up from that.
45:10Hacksaw Jim Duggan is motionless.
45:13Sayonara.
45:14Plus pounds of Yoko Tsuno crashing down on him.
45:17The official did not see it.
45:19His back was to the action over on the side.
45:22That's too much right there.
45:24Look at this.
45:26And Duggan has had it.
45:29Yes, he has.
45:30What a deciding factor.
45:32And Shawn Michaels can have him in this one.
45:34Oh, I love it.
45:35I love it.
45:36Throw him in this one.
45:37Wait a minute.
45:38Perfect.
45:39He saw what happened.
45:40Perfect shot.
45:42Mr. Perfect coming in.
45:43He could not stand by and watch.
45:48I'm told now.
45:49What?
45:50We have what?
45:52Come on, get him.
45:53Oh, wait a minute.
45:54There's going to be trouble here.
45:56Promotional consideration paid for by the following.
45:59New WWF figures.
46:00Give you the power of Hulkamania.
46:02The knockout punch of Virgil.
46:03The audacity of IRS.
46:04And the madness of the Macho Man.
46:05Collect new WWF figures now.
46:07Sold separately.
46:08Dig in.
46:09The winner of this vote.
46:12Wait a minute.
46:12You can see the look on everybody's face.
46:14Wait a minute.
46:15Shawn Michaels coming in with some.
46:18Shawn Michaels.
46:19Here we go.
46:20Shawn Michaels officially winning the matchup.
46:22But look at this.
46:23Oh, no.
46:26Come on.
46:27Get him.
46:29Look what's going on here on Monday Night Raw.
46:31The Lumberjacks throwing at it.
46:34That's all Jim Duggan.
46:35Duggan has got the bar.
46:37With a two by four.
46:39Duggan chasing everybody out of there with a two by four.
46:44Duggan is a mad man.
46:46Duggan has lost this match because of disqualification.
46:50The first ever Lumberjack match.
