00:00So I'm telling you something, Yokozuna, I'm challenging you to a match.
00:07I'm challenging you one-for-one, man-to-man, to a match.
00:15And this match will not only show everybody who the biggest man
00:20in the World Wrestling Federation is, but who's the best.
00:26Yes, it was just last week when the mighty Earthquake
00:31challenged the former WWF Champion, the 507-pound
00:36heavyweight champion, John Cena, to a match.
00:41And it was just last week when the mighty Earthquake
00:46challenged the former WWF Champion, the 507-pound
00:52heavyweight champion, John Cena, to a one-on-one encounter.
00:59And hopefully here tonight, we will get Yokozuna's response.
01:07Welcome, everyone, to Monday Night Raw with McMahon,
01:11along with the one and the only Macho Man, Randy Savage.
01:15Well, I predict we're gonna get an answer to the challenge tonight.
01:18Do you know why, Vince McMahon?
01:20I think you're gonna tell us, go ahead.
01:21Right, because on the King's Court, Jerry Lawler's guest is Yokozuna.
01:26And I predict that he's gonna have to respond.
01:29In addition to that, one-on-one, the very first qualifying matchup for
01:33the King of the Ring tournament.
01:35It's the martial art expert squaring off against the former
01:38Intercontinental Champion, the bad guy, Razor Ramon.
01:42I believe Razor Ramon will once again become the Intercontinental Champion.
01:45However, how does it sound, Razor Ramon, the winner of the King of the Ring?
01:51Heads he wins, tails he wins.
01:54Aha, aha, and here comes the bad guy right now, Razor Ramon.
01:59Oh, yeah, take a look at the bad guy, Razor Ramon.
02:12And you can bet that Mama Ramon was certainly very proud of her son
02:18just this past weekend from Otherside.
02:21Well, I'm gonna be watching Razor Ramon real careful right now to see if he can
02:24get back on the winning track after losing the Intercontinental title to Diesel.
02:30Well, as you know, Shawn Michaels had a little something to do with that matchup.
02:33But yes, undaunted, Razor Ramon continues his track to be the very best he can be.
02:39And who knows, oh yeah,
02:41the fireworks about ready to explode here on Monday Night Raw.
02:44Razor Ramon, no doubtful meet the Intercontinental Champion Diesel
02:48somewhere along the WrestleMania Revenge World Tour.
02:51However, tonight, he must face the martial art expert, Quang.
02:56And we'll see just who is going to advance,
02:59just which one of these two will be in the King of the Ring tournament.
03:03To be led towards the ring.
03:04I'm gonna reluctantly pick Quang to beat Razor Ramon tonight.
03:09Because of the fact that Razor Ramon, he's tough in the streets of Miami, and
03:14he's done real well in the WWF, but this is a martial arts expert.
03:18And do you remember Vince McMahon three weeks ago how he took the Hitman to
03:22the limit?
03:23The current WWF Champion, I say Quang tonight.
03:28How about that?
03:29Macho Man Randy Savage predicts Quang just might pull an upset over the bad guy,
03:34Razor Ramon.
03:35And yes, Quang has a most unique style, and that makes him extremely dangerous.
03:40Yes, Bret Hart had great difficulty in figuring out the style of Quang.
03:45And that would suggest the bad guy is gonna have the same degree of difficulty.
03:50Here we go, the King of the Ring is at stake right here.
03:54And if you're eliminated, folks, all it takes is single elimination.
03:58No second chances here.
04:00Quang trying to work on Razor, the shoulder, the arm.
04:03Nice reversal there by the bad guy.
04:04Razor pulls it back, top wrist lock, down goes Quang.
04:07What about IRS surviving his first test in the King of the Ring Qualifying Match?
04:13Yes, this is the second King of the Ring Qualifying Match.
04:16The first one was held this weekend, and
04:18Scott Steiner defeated by Irwin Arshad.
04:21And that's what Razor does best.
04:23That was a wake-up call for Quang.
04:25And now let's see how Quang reacts to Razor Ramon.
04:28IRS is in the King of the Ring Tournament.
04:31And one of these two gentlemen will be the second person in the King of the Ring
04:35Tournament.
04:35Here we go with those chops.
04:38My, the karate thrust to the throat area.
04:41Razor backed off.
04:43Razor Ramon now, pulled over to the buckle, my.
04:46And Quang asserting himself, Quang the aggressor.
04:50Another chop.
04:52You know, everybody's got a master in this world, Vince McMahon, and
04:55Quang might be Razor Ramon's master.
04:58Quang.
05:00What a chop that was.
05:02Quang measuring Razor, and again.
05:05And another chop.
05:06And wait a minute, Razor's had enough.
05:08Razor Ramon, chopping away on Quang.
05:13Razor Ramon has turned the momentum of this match around.
05:16A reversal, Razor to the buckle.
05:17Quang pulls him out, no reversing, nice hip toss.
05:21Razor Ramon with Quang, look out, over the top to the outside.
05:25Up and over.
05:26And wait a minute, look at Quang.
05:28Quang's right back up.
05:29Right back down again.
05:30But right back up.
05:31I'm impressed, look at this.
05:33Both guys want this match more than the other guy, if that's possible.
05:37Look at Quang, look how tenacious he is.
05:39Uh-oh, look at this.
05:40Roundhouse right misses, no.
05:42Quang catching Razor.
05:44We're off the top rope.
05:45Let me tell you, I'm blinded by science.
05:47Unbelievable, Harvey Webberman, the manager of Quang, what a matchup this is.
05:51Let's go back to the double feature and take a look.
05:54Here we go.
05:55A roundhouse right miss, underneath now.
05:57And Quang snaps Razor's head right off the top rope.
06:00You know, the first time it went so fast, I couldn't catch it.
06:04Look at that, Razor Ramon caught that foot.
06:06Quang is really on a roll right now.
06:08Quang with the momentum.
06:10Quang, the martial art expert.
06:12And watch this.
06:13Check it out.
06:14Yes.
06:14Psychological warfare there, because Razor knows if he's hit with that, yes,
06:19Quang would be disqualified, but Razor would have to suffer the effects.
06:23I think it's more physical than psychological at this point,
06:26because Razor Ramon's eyes are almost closed.
06:28Wait a minute, puts on the brakes, trying to get Quang over.
06:32Trying to do the backslide, trying to get the every go, one, two.
06:35Quang escaping, and Quang again with a chop to the throat area.
06:39Quang is taking it to the bad guy, Razor Ramon.
06:42You can bet Diesel is looking on.
06:45For that matter, you can bet Shawn Michaels as well is looking on.
06:48And they like what they see at the moment.
06:50I think every wrestler in the World Wrestling Federation is looking on right
06:53now, because this is a qualifying match for King of the Ring.
06:56Yes, indeed, everyone wants to be in the King of the Ring tournament.
07:00And look out, here comes Quang, my goodness.
07:03Razor Ramon now has an opportunity, yes, reverse the momentum.
07:08Razor working on the damaged left arm and shoulder.
07:11Down goes Quang, Razor Ramon drops the last.
07:15Have you noticed that Razor Ramon always seems to know where he's at at all times,
07:18a sense of where he is.
07:19Indeed, yes, no matter what Quang does to him.
07:22Razor in tremendous physical condition.
07:25Razor now slowing things down a bit.
07:27Look at this.
07:28Talk about psychological warfare.
07:30Can't believe that Razor Ramon just takes time to give it to him.
07:33I am a style in the midst of this physical battle.
07:37Vintage Razor Ramon.
07:39Razor with the arm bar down on Quang.
07:41Sit on you Yankee track.
07:43And Harvey better pay attention to what's going on inside the ring,
07:47not outside the ring.
07:48Harvey's talking garbage cuz he doesn't know what Quang has to do to get Razor
07:52Ramon to keep him down.
07:54A seesaw matchup we have witnessed thus far here on Monday Night Raw tonight.
07:59And a shot missing Razor, hook and a leg and a count of two.
08:04Razor Ramon hooked the leg, did everything right, but Quang kicked out.
08:07Near fall there for Razor.
08:09Razor going right back to the same arm and shoulder he had success with moments ago.
08:13Very good move by Razor Ramon,
08:15remembering that Quang hit that steel post really hard.
08:18Now twisting it back the other way.
08:22And Razor Ramon applying more and more pressure.
08:26And Razor contemplating a strategy, my, and look at this, again.
08:33And Quang down on one knee.
08:35If Quang submits, Razor wins the match.
08:38However, if there's a count out or a disqualification doesn't matter.
08:41Someone simply wins the match in any manner and
08:45advances on into the bracket of the King of the Ring tournament.
08:48Exactly, do it any way you can.
08:50Coming off the ropes now, Quang again missing.
08:52Razor, my goodness, Quang.
08:55What a tremendous maneuver, but look, he's not covering Razor.
08:59I think Razor's out.
09:00No, he's starting to move.
09:01It's the arm that's hurt, and Quang.
09:03And Quang leveled Razor Ramon right in the bush.
09:08I mean, he really caught him in the bush or in the nose.
09:11I've seen roundhouse right hands have landed, but Quang's got that roundhouse foot.
09:16Quang, seesaw matchup we said before.
09:19Now it's Quang, ladies and gentlemen, asserting himself to chin lock.
09:23And it appears as though that Razor's mouth has been cut.
09:30And if in fact, ladies and gentlemen, it becomes a bit more severe,
09:33we will back off, we promise you, and simply stay wide.
09:37Unless the official, of course, stops the match, which one way or
09:40another, we'll be following this matchup.
09:42But there are a number of children watching with you parents out there.
09:47Well, I'm from the school where if you win, you win, if you lose, you lose.
09:52So I'm gonna be looking at that bottom line.
09:54Sorry, Piper.
09:56Yes, speaking of Roddy Piper, more commentary on the Piper, Jerry Lawler
10:00matchup headed to the King of the Ring as well later on.
10:03Razor, look at this.
10:05You can never count Razor Ramon out, no matter what you do to him.
10:09When he can break his nose, uh-oh, look at that.
10:12And he caught one right in the nose, just as we said it.
10:16The knee right into the nose.
10:18A cover here, one, and a kick out.
10:20Razor's nose might be in the wrong side of his face right now.
10:23As a matter of fact, Razor suffered a broken nose in the Intercontinental
10:28title defense against the matchup with Diesel.
10:31And now, Quang is leveling up, saying- Look at Razor Ramon right there.
10:35When the tough gets going, the going gets tough.
10:37You can say the same thing for Quang.
10:39Look at this, back and forth.
10:41Coming off the rope now.
10:42Razor sets up Quang, nose.
10:44The other way around, right in the nose again.
10:46What a mess.
10:46Right down on the nose.
10:48Unbelievable.
10:49A cover.
10:51We're back, ladies and gentlemen, with Monday Night Raw.
10:53And right now, Razor Ramon is still hanging on.
10:56He will not surrender.
10:57The word surrender is obviously not in Razor Ramon's vocabulary, Vince McMahon.
11:01No, indeed.
11:03Probably not.
11:04Razor now.
11:04Look at this, mounting a response.
11:07Incredible.
11:08Off the rope.
11:08Underneath that kick this time.
11:10Razor puts on the brakes, and Quang goes down.
11:13Unbelievable, Razor Ramon.
11:17What a matchup, a cover.
11:19That's not done, Tyler, yet.
11:21Did not get him.
11:22Who's gonna go on?
11:26Who will advance?
11:27Look at this, a slugfest developing.
11:29And that's not that smart for Quang.
11:32Look at these kicks are ineffective now.
11:34Yeah, there's a GC, that's right.
11:37Now, Razor, it just seems as though the tougher the match gets,
11:41the tougher Razor gets.
11:43Razor trying to set up Quang.
11:45Quang on the top rope.
11:47This could really be bad news now.
11:49Really bad.
11:51No, and Trevor Quang, the elbow, right back in the nose.
11:56Quang, look, it's setting up, and flying body press.
12:00No, Razor brings him over.
12:01Razor almost got the three count.
12:03Where do these guys get the energy?
12:05No, what a match this is.
12:08And now, Razor is out.
12:10The cover to his, no.
12:13Razor Ramon will not quit, neither will Quang.
12:17They are going at it tonight, on Monday Night Raw.
12:20Quang, continuing to chop away, setting up the bad guy, coming off the rope.
12:26Here we go, back, no, a nice knee lift.
12:29And now, it's Razor.
12:31Wait a minute, here it comes, here it comes.
12:34Look at his eyes.
12:35Razor with Quang, gets him up.
12:38Will we see the Razor's age?
12:40No, no, no, no, no, this match is just taking too much out of Razor.
12:46Razor Ramon is spent.
12:49Both men have given it their all here tonight, on Monday Night Raw.
12:54And you get back, Quang had a few anxious moments when he was up.
12:59Wait a minute, and again, Razor hooked the rope himself, he saw it coming.
13:03That's the second time he's escaped that roundhouse kick.
13:05Let's see what Razor Ramon does right now, because this is his test.
13:10And now, Razor seems to be angry.
13:13Razor now, with Quang, here we go again.
13:17Here we go again, can he get it?
13:19Can he get Quang?
13:20He's got him.
13:21In the Razor's eyes, Quang is up, Quang is way up.
13:25I can't believe it.
13:26On Razor Ramon's kisser.
13:28Cover him.
13:29We have one, we have two, we have three.
13:32He got him, credit where credit is due.
13:35Razor Ramon reached back and did it.
13:39Indeed, Razor Ramon has qualified.
13:41He will be in the King of the Ring tournament.
13:44He joins IRS as well, who has qualified.
13:48Let's give credit Randy Savage, the both competitors here tonight.
13:52Competition at its finest, right here on Monday Night Raw.
13:55Give credit to Razor Ramon, but also give credit to Quang.
13:59You'll find that kind of competition only in the World Wrestling Federation,
14:03with that in mind.
14:04In a moment, we're gonna take you to the King of the Ring report.
14:07To find out more about Rowdy Roddy Piper.
14:10Promotional consideration paid for by the following.
14:22Ikepro, you've gotta want it.
14:36Hey folks, you see this?
14:44Not bad.
14:45This, the King of the Ring jacket.
14:47It's right around the corner.
14:48Let's make it official.
14:50Good evening everyone, and welcome to your King of the Ring report exclusively.
14:53For you guys watching Monday Night Raw here on the USA Network, I'm Todd Pettengill.
14:57Now moments ago, we all saw the bad guy, Razor Ramon,
15:00defeat the martial arts expert Quang to advance into the King of the Ring tournament.
15:05So congratulations to Razor, who now joins IRS as the second WWF
15:10superstar to qualify for the King of the Ring tournament itself.
15:13More on that in just a minute.
15:14But first, let's talk about the actual King of the Ring spectacular.
15:18Live from the Baltimore Arena in Baltimore, Maryland on Father's Day.
15:22Sunday, June the 19th at 8 o'clock Eastern.
15:25This is certainly shaping up to be an awesome night of WWF action.
15:29Now to join the Elite Eight, who will fight it out to be the WWF King of the Ring,
15:33you must qualify for the tournament itself, just like Razor Ramon did.
15:37The qualifying matches continue right here on Monday Night Raw next week,
15:41when Thurman Sparky Plug revs up his carburetor
15:44to battle the beast from the east, Bam Bam Bigelow.
15:48That means the winner of that matchup will then take on Razor Ramon in
15:51the second bracket of the King of the Ring tournament on June the 19th.
15:54Now keep in mind, in order to be crowned King of the Ring,
15:57a WWF superstar must defeat three other elite members of the World Wrestling
16:02Federation.
16:03It really is a grueling night of action, with the focus on conditioning,
16:07stamina, and the will to push your body further than it's ever been pushed before.
16:12You may recall last year, the Hitman earned the title of King of the Ring, and
16:16that crown catapulted Bret Hart to the WWF Championship.
16:20It also took the Hitman weeks to recover from his all-out effort.
16:24This should be quite a night of action.
16:26Now the other big news that broke over the weekend and
16:28is being talked about all over the world,
16:30Rowdy Roddy Piper is returning to the squared circle.
16:34He'll meet Jerry the King Lawler at the King of the Ring Spectacular.
16:38Now if you missed Hot Rod's acceptance speech over the weekend,
16:41take a look at Roddy Piper's bottom line.
16:43Come on in, I wanna talk to you about something.
16:47See, there's no such thing as a king.
16:55Everybody's the same, we're all human beings.
16:58We all eat, we all poop, no such thing as a king.
17:04Then there are folks that people want to become kings, but
17:07they're not really kings.
17:09Bill Elvis Presley, for instance, they called him the king.
17:15Just a nice guy from what I hear, whole lot of talent, but he really wasn't a king.
17:22Tell you to be honest with you, I'm gonna tell you the bottom line here,
17:25Jerry the King Lawler.
17:27I'm getting tired of people asking me about you and
17:31your snotty nose little comments, bottom line.
17:35I got nothing to prove.
17:36Let me get this straight, Lawler.
17:41You did what?
17:44You called a bunch of kids in the hospital for sick children in Toronto.
17:49You go there and you call them brats?
17:53This is what you're doing to try to get me to fight you?
18:00Okay, Jerry the King Lawler, I'm gonna fight you.
18:05One more time, I'm gonna fight.
18:08Here we go, one more time, only this time,
18:12the women's go to the hospital for sick children in Toronto.
18:16In other words, you don't win, you don't get nothing.
18:19Don't you understand why folks avoid me?
18:23You know why?
18:26Cuz I don't take no dives, and I don't do windows.
18:31I don't retreat, and I don't surrender.
18:36You've crossed the bottom line.
18:39Welcome to my world.
18:43Man, folks, we understand Roddy Piper will be donating a portion of his earnings to
18:47the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
18:50And we're working on an address for
18:51the hospital so you can help out too if you'd like.
18:54We hope to have that for you next week.
18:56Remember, all of the action kicks off Father's Day Sunday, June the 19th,
19:00at 8 Eastern, from the Baltimore Arena in Baltimore, Maryland.
19:04And exclusively on pay-per-view.
19:06What a great way to spend Father's Day,
19:08with the royalty of the World Wrestling Federation.
19:11And I don't mean the King, Jerry Lawler.
19:13Now, still to come on Monday Night Raw this week,
19:16it's another Undertaker sighting, and
19:18the man who's haunting Lex Luger, Kona Crush, in action.
19:25We're back with our Monday Night Raw.
19:26That's Maria Gonzalez, a fitness model and a personal trainer, Andy Savage.
19:30I'm looking for a personal trainer, McMahon.
19:33Well, maybe this man can do it for you.
19:36Take a look, if you want, at Mr. Fuji, the man who manages Yokozuna.
19:41The man who manages this awesome physical specimen, Crush.
19:45And if anyone knows anything about Crush, not only will it be Lex Luger,
19:49it's certainly you now, Randy Savage.
19:51I know too much about this guy right here.
19:54This guy right here is a monster.
19:57A monster that can move quickly in the ring.
20:02And he is as tenacious as anybody I've ever wrestled.
20:06Yes, indeed.
20:07Crush, ladies and gentlemen, who squares off against Lex Luger.
20:12Somewhere along the way, on the WrestleMania Revenge World Tour.
20:18Yes, indeed, what an epic battle that should be.
20:19There's a good shot at the man made in the USA, Lex Luger.
20:23What a great role model Lex Luger is, a man who indeed relishes that position.
20:30And certainly deserves that accolade as well.
20:32The red, white, and blue.
20:34Reigns and Braun together.
20:37Totally drug free, anyone who can look like that.
20:40Not only is that genetics, ladies and gentlemen, that is great dedication.
20:43Check out Crush right now.
20:45Yeah, wait, well, Fuji's calling him over.
20:47Fuji with a little bit of advice.
20:49Look at it from behind.
20:50Nice maneuver upon the right.
20:51Roy now takes down the big man, Roy, and upset right in the hole.
20:55I would have jumped through the ceiling if Crush would have lost that one right there.
20:59Look at that maneuver.
21:00Talk about martial arts.
21:02Yes, indeed.
21:03Quang and Crush must be hanging together.
21:07Crush now with Roy.
21:08You can bet he won't be turning his back on Roy.
21:11He better not turn his back on anyone here in the World Wrestling Federation.
21:13A little bit later on.
21:15No doubt with Mr. Fuji, we will get the response from Yokozuna as to whether or
21:21not he will accept the challenge of the mighty earthquake from last week.
21:26An earthquake means business.
21:28So does Crush.
21:28Did earthquake challenge Yokozuna straight up or what?
21:32Indeed.
21:33And of course, joining Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna, no doubt, will be that big mouth,
21:38Jim Cornette, the official American spokesperson.
21:42My.
21:43Well, I can do without listening to Jim Cornette, that's for sure.
21:45Crush, right here, is sending a message out to everybody,
21:49a message that I've already received.
21:51A message especially to Lex Luger.
21:54By the way, ladies and gentlemen, a little bit later on, to join us.
21:57Speaking of big, rugged individuals, uh-oh.
22:00Joining us will be one half of Men on a Mission.
22:04Actually, it's like two men rolled into one.
22:06We're talking Mabel.
22:07In action as well will be, well, we may have a few laughs here tonight on
22:11Monday Night Raw, because Doink and Dink are gonna join us.
22:16Which Doink?
22:18Yeah, which Doink?
22:19My.
22:21And also, apparently, there have been a number of Undertaker sightings.
22:25Randy Savage, you haven't seen The Undertaker, have you?
22:28No way, he haven't.
22:29But Piper said something about knowing exactly where he was.
22:33Now, what do you think?
22:34Yes, Roddy did allude to that.
22:37Look at the awesome power of Crush.
22:41Crush carrying Raymond Roy around like he's a trophy.
22:44He's playing with him.
22:45And down to the canvas.
22:46Now he's not playing with him.
22:50And by the way, Randy Savage, let me just hand you this, courtesy of USA.
22:53Nice but I'm hot.
22:54Okay, Fuji, if you don't mind, just be quiet for a moment.
22:58Thanks for the chance to look at this.
22:59Now, Randy Savage, wait a minute.
23:00Wait a minute, look at this.
23:01And here comes the hard punch, I think.
23:03Yes, as Roy collapses.
23:05Go ahead, Randy.
23:06Don't look now, but Jason's back and USA's got him.
23:09Yeah, it's two nights of Spine Chilling Terror with Friday the 13th part-
23:12With the cover here, two and a count of three.
23:15I'm sorry, Randy- Back to what I was talking about.
23:17Spine Chilling Terror with Friday the 13th part B and part B2.
23:23Wednesday and Thursday night at 9, 8 central parental discretion advised.
23:29I was gonna say, did you say Friday the 13th part B?
23:34Yeah, I did that.
23:35I'm really lucky, I've never seen part B before or part B2 for that matter.
23:42Nonetheless, Crosh, ladies and gentlemen, to the victory.
23:45And Crosh will meet Lax Luger undoubtedly on the WrestleMania Revenge World Tour.
23:51Headed your way.
23:52What a monster.
23:55The WrestleMania Revenge World Tour is on the road and
23:58heading straight to an arena near you.
24:00And you can see the massive Crosh take on Lex Luger.
24:03This Saturday at Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim.
24:06Sunday at the San Jose Arena.
24:08Then Thursday, May 19th, the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale.
24:12Friday, May 20th, it's on to the Garden in New York City.
24:15Then the Palace of Auburn Hills on the 21st in Michigan.
24:18May 22nd, the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago.
24:21Wednesday, May 25th, the Erie Civic Center in Pennsylvania.
24:25You can catch all the glamour and excitement of WrestleMania
24:29when the Revenge Tour comes to your town.
24:33Don't miss the Revenge World Tour, ladies and gentlemen.
24:35However, right now, let's take you to a man who's in a heap,
24:38a heap of garbage, that is, Duke The Dumpster Drosy.
24:42There's a lot of obstacles in life, but no obstacle is wide enough,
24:46high enough, or deep enough to keep me from climbing
24:49to the top of the World Wrestling Federation.
24:51So stay tuned and don't touch that dial.
24:54Because Duke The Dumpster Drosy is coming soon.
24:58Yes, we're looking forward to The Dumpster joining us soon,
25:00ladies and gentlemen.
25:01However, joining us when we return, get set for a barrel lap.
25:05It's Duncan Deacon, Monday Night Raw.
25:10I'll bet you're the only guy that I know that can play handball against the curb.
25:15Joining us momentarily, ladies and gentlemen, will be Duncan.
25:17Actually, we're taking you back to WWF superstars a little better than a week ago.
25:23The King Jerry Lawler humiliating Deacon in a one-on-one interview.
25:30Doink was allegedly on vacation.
25:33And as Doink was on vacation, Lawler appeared to be surprised
25:38when Doink's music was played and he came out.
25:41Lawler, look, actually backing off now, thinking this was the real Doink.
25:47No, no, hey, look at that.
25:50No, no, no.
25:52Look at that.
25:52Hey, you are a pretty funny clown.
25:59Look at that.
26:00Look at that.
26:02And yet more humiliation for Doink.
26:05Doink couldn't believe that Doink would do this to him.
26:10It is great.
26:11Doink was humiliated.
26:13You're the funniest you've ever been.
26:14Oh, look at that.
26:17And fall down.
26:18And the King Jerry Lawler and Doink then revealed, ladies and gentlemen,
26:24exactly what was going on.
26:26Oh, yeah.
26:28What do you think?
26:31It's Double J.
26:34Doink, listen up and listen real good.
26:39I told you that I was going to take matters into my own hands.
26:43I told you that I was going to take control of the situation.
26:48And that's exactly what I did.
26:51Oh, could you imagine that?
26:53You can imagine Double J dressed up as Doink and what Double J and
26:58the King Jerry Lawler did to poor little Dink.
27:01Unbelievable.
27:03Double J's a double bully.
27:05Indeed.
27:06And I believe that Doink, even though he has a smile on his face right now,
27:11that smile is going to change to a frown when he gets his mitts on Double J,
27:17Jeff Jarrett.
27:18He's going to be protecting his little buddy, Dink.
27:21As well he should.
27:22I mean, I can't imagine anyone stooping to the depth to which Double J stooped to.
27:28Nonetheless, Doink and Dink hung about a lot of fun.
27:33Almost got you, Randy.
27:34He hasn't lost his sense of humor.
27:36No, that's for sure.
27:38Nonetheless, notwithstanding his sense of humor,
27:40the thing about Doink that's so intriguing is the man is a tremendous technical wrestler,
27:44a very scientific wrestler.
27:46Double J's gonna find that out real soon.
27:49Well, let's not take anything away from Double J either.
27:51He's talking about one of the great competitors here.
27:53Although Double J has categorically stated he wants to use you, folks.
27:58He wants to use every wrestler in the WWF.
28:01He wants to use the WWF itself to catapult him not into stardom here in the WWF.
28:07That's sort of a consequence.
28:08He wants to be the biggest thing to ever hit country music.
28:12Well, I got something to say about that.
28:13I was hanging out with the Charlie Daniels band and I asked them about Double J.
28:17And they'd never heard him sing and don't want to.
28:22Well, I understand he does have a pretty good voice, although no one has heard it.
28:27Maybe, who knows, maybe Double J and Doink, after they wrestle,
28:31if the match takes place somewhere along the WrestleMania Revenge World Tour,
28:35maybe Double J will grab the microphone and sing a couple of bars.
28:38Nice take over there by Doink the Clown.
28:40That's a nice selling point for the World Revenge Tour.
28:43Do you hear Double J sing?
28:45Yeah.
28:47Terrace seems a little bit frustrated, doesn't he?
28:49Wait a minute, Terrace charging.
28:50Nice maneuver by Doink.
28:51The ultimate leg sweep right there.
28:53Wait a minute, I think we have, hello?
28:56Hello, Double J, are you there?
28:58You darn right I am, and I'm listening to the two most biased commentators
29:02I've ever heard in my life.
29:04Savage, all you want to do is talk about what a good technical wrestler
29:07Doink is.
29:08Well, that's the biggest joke, or the second biggest joke
29:11I've heard in a long time.
29:12The biggest joke I've heard, everybody saw it a little over a week ago.
29:18Little Dink, he looked real good with, what shall I say,
29:21a little ketchup and mustard.
29:23And he looked like a big fruitcake out there, didn't he?
29:27I can't imagine you picking on, well, you're
29:29going to pick on someone your own size when you pick on Doink.
29:32What a joke.
29:33He thinks he's a technical wrestler.
29:36Look at him trying to clown around in the ring right now.
29:39Nobody can clown around like old Double J.
29:42If it comes to clowning, I am the best clown in the world,
29:45because like I said before, old Vinny, baby, and Macho Man,
29:48you listen up good, too.
29:50He who laughs last, laughs best.
29:54Well, Doink is better than the best when it comes to clowning,
29:57and you're going to find that out.
29:58I'm thinking opinion, and you always got some silly opinion
30:02about everything.
30:03If I was there right now, I'd slap the taste right out of your mouth,
30:06but on the WrestleMania Revenge Tour, oh, boy,
30:09have I got a good joke in store.
30:12Oh, Doink, you better be ready.
30:13You're right, Double J. It's only my opinion,
30:16but right now, my opinion's the only one that counts.
30:19Yeah, and you're a little feeble-minded, is.
30:23Well, nonetheless, ladies and gentlemen, it will be quite a match-up,
30:25indeed, Double J against Doink.
30:27Thank you very much, Double J, for joining us.
30:29Hey, I'm sure it's your pleasure, man.
30:32I wouldn't have thanked him, Vince McMahon.
30:34Well, you know how it is.
30:35You want to be polite, huh?
30:37Well, I don't know how it is.
30:39And look out, wait a minute.
30:41You can bet Double J is watching this, and did you hear that?
30:45Have a chair, Doink.
30:46Yes, the whoopee cushion, indeed.
30:50And that could just as easily have been Double J.
30:53Sounded off.
30:54Who knows?
30:55Doink may put the whoopee cushion on Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
31:00And if that happens, then Double J will be singing a different tune.
31:04This is a good win for Dink right here.
31:05It's good to see him dancing and laughing again.
31:07And look at the fans.
31:08They're supportive of Doink and Dink.
31:11Yes, indeed.
31:12What a match-up that'll be.
31:14And it just might be on the WrestleMania Revenge World Tour.
31:18Doink and Dink having some fun in there this week on Monday Night Raw.
31:23Right now, ladies and gentlemen, let's take you to the Mighty Earthquake.
31:26And let's pick up these comments.
31:28Earthquake's career and that of Yokozuna has been somewhat of a parallel,
31:31as we will find out now from the earthquake.
31:35I was in sumo for one year from November 86 to November 87.
31:41I got into it because it was an opportunity of a lifetime,
31:44a chance to do something that no other North American had done.
31:49My record was 24 and 0.
31:52That's also a record for any foreigner in sumo.
31:56My sumo name was Koto Tenzan.
31:59Koto is a Japanese musical instrument.
32:02Ten means heaven, and zen means mountain.
32:06I came into the World Wrestling Federation and
32:09became even a bigger star than I could ever dream of being in sumo.
32:14As the saying goes, the rest is history.
32:17But the book's not closed yet, cuz I've got a lot to prove here in the WWF.
32:23When we return, we'll get Yokozuna's answer to Earthquake's challenge on
32:27the King's Court.
32:28Stay with us.
32:29We are back, and we're happy that you have joined us this week on Monday Night Raw.
32:37And take a look at this regal individual, would you?
32:40It's time for another edition of the King's Court.
32:45And I understand that Rowdy Roddy Piper has been saying some derogatory
32:52remarks about the undisputed king of the World Wrestling Federation.
32:59You know, I only wish that Rowdy Roddy Piper had the guts
33:05to come out here and be a guest on the King's Court.
33:11I wish that Rowdy Roddy Piper, hey,
33:15don't waste your time looking for Roddy Piper.
33:20I told you, Roddy Piper is off somewhere making movies.
33:25And speaking of his movies, his movies are so
33:29bad that when they play at the drive-in, people ask for
33:33their gas money back, if you know what I mean.
33:36I'll just keep it up, Jerry Lawler.
33:38Now, I do have some very special guests this week, and
33:43I want them to be treated with the utmost respect.
33:48Because the man that is about to come out here is without a doubt
33:54the premier athlete in the World Wrestling Federation.
33:58He is not only the former World Wrestling Federation champion,
34:03he is a master of the martial arts.
34:07He is a master of sumo wrestling.
34:11Let's face it, he is the master.
34:15He is Yokozuna.
34:18Good luck if you want Randy Savage at the current on this man.
34:22You're right about that, and I've felt it on top of me before.
34:26Yokozuna, 568 pounds.
34:31And it is unbelievable the way this man can move his extraordinary girth around
34:36the square circle.
34:38His agility, his quickness.
34:41Mr. Cornette and Yokozuna.
34:48Now- Look at Cornette's outfit.
34:50It is certainly my pleasure to have you gentlemen on the King's Court.
34:55I think Cornette's colorblind.
34:57Mr. Cornette, I would like to ask you, if you happen to see
35:02those pictures of Earthquake as a sumo wrestler, did you see him?
35:09Yeah, you know, I was sitting back here in the locker room.
35:11I was minding my own business like I always do.
35:13And all of a sudden, I look up at the monitor, and
35:15I thought I was watching one of those old movie tone newsreels.
35:18It looked like from back in the 30s, Earthquake as a sumo wrestler when he was in Japan.
35:24Now, I know it is a fact Earthquake did do some sumo wrestling
35:28before he became a professional wrestler.
35:30As a matter of fact, he was unbeaten.
35:32He was undefeated.
35:33He beat a lot of guys.
35:34He was a big time sumo wrestler, Earthquake was.
35:37But you see, that was in prehistory.
35:39That was in the days before electricity.
35:41In the words of the immortal monkeys, that was then.
35:44And this is now Earthquake.
35:46And everybody knows, I think it's universally accepted,
35:49that the athletes of today are bigger, stronger, faster,
35:53better than the athletes of yesterday.
35:54And what I'm saying is that Yokozuna is today.
35:58He's the news, and Earthquake is the old news.
36:01He's the past.
36:03Because you see, Earthquake, what you represent to Yokozuna is the typical American.
36:09You know, the armchair quarterback that sits there every Sunday watching football,
36:14saying, yeah, I can do better than that quarterback.
36:17When the only pigskin they've ever touched in their life is the pork rind that they
36:21chopped down without two gallons of beer, saying, yeah, I can play football.
36:25I can do this.
36:26Earthquake, you show these pictures.
36:29You talk about what you can do.
36:30But Yokozuna is the man that proves what he can do.
36:33Because after all, you know, King, I don't know whether you realize this or not,
36:37but I'm bilingual.
36:40I heard that about you.
36:41That's exactly right.
36:42I speak not only Japanese, but English as well, obviously, since my association with
36:46these men.
36:47And Earthquake, I wonder if you, like the rest of these peons around here, know what
36:52the word Yokozuna means.
36:54Huh?
36:55No, I don't.
36:56They don't know.
36:57You see, when you're, for example, when you're a member of royalty, when you get to be the
37:04king, that's as far as you can go.
37:07You've reached the top.
37:09Well, when you are a sumo wrestler, when you reach the rank of Yokozuna, that very
37:15word means grand champion of sumo wrestling.
37:18That's the best you can be.
37:20And that's how Yokozuna got his name.
37:23So Earthquake comes out here and he bandies all these challenges around and he shows all
37:28these pictures.
37:29But if he knew what he was talking about, he would realize that Yokozuna, in addition
37:34to being the greatest wrestler in the world, professional wrestling, is also the grand
37:39champion of all sumo wrestlers.
37:41And Earthquake wouldn't be running his mouth.
37:44But he has run his mouth, Jimmy.
37:46He has challenged Yokozuna.
37:49What are you going to do about it?
37:51Well, of course, we'll accept the challenge because really there's no use in even accepting
37:55because if they have a wrestling match, everybody knows Yokozuna's going to win.
37:58Just like that, it's a foregone conclusion.
38:02We'll accept the challenge and Earthquake was showing all these sumo pictures.
38:09Why don't we, hey, Earthquake, if you're watching out there, why don't we have some
38:14kind of sumo match, huh?
38:17Do you think we could do that?
38:18A sumo match?
38:19What?
38:20A what?
38:21A sumo match.
38:22I mean, in a regular wrestling ring or what?
38:24No, you can't do anything because they wrestle on platforms.
38:27Maybe we could take the ropes down.
38:29Take the ropes off the ring.
38:32Earthquake will never go for it.
38:34He's a big coward.
38:36He's a gutless coward.
38:37But I think, hey, Earthquake, you want to show these pictures?
38:41You want to talk about how big you are?
38:43Let's take the ropes down off the ring and then we can make it where pins didn't count
38:49because you don't pin people in sumo wrestling.
38:51You block them and hit them and throw them and knock them out of the circle.
38:55So maybe we could have it where if the ropes are down, then the guy that gets knocked off
39:01the ring, knocked off the platform, is the loser and the other guy is the winner.
39:04Sumo rules, huh?
39:06Jimmy, it's a great idea.
39:08You're a brilliant man.
39:09I know it.
39:10But I promise you, Earthquake is a coward.
39:13He won't go for it.
39:15I'll tell you what, Jerry, because you're the only guy around here I trust, Earthquake,
39:19if you've got a gut in that big bloated body of yours, you'll accept the match.
39:23Next week, right here, we'll have a sumo match.
39:28I want you to find out for me if he'll accept it.
39:30You're the only guy that can get the scoop.
39:32I'll do it.
39:33What about it, Randy?
39:34I'll get the scoop.
39:35Earthquake's not a coward.
39:37Get a sumo match.
39:38What a match-up that would be.
39:40Can you imagine a WWF style sumo match?
39:44We're back and we've seen a lot tonight on Monday Night Raw.
39:47However, has anyone seen The Undertaker?
39:51You know, the other day we were on a job digging a trench.
39:56We were going to go eat lunch.
39:57The thing had to have been about six feet wide, anyway.
39:59About five feet deep.
40:01Come back from lunch, all my guys and my crew were sitting over there yelling and screaming
40:06and going crazy.
40:07I thought somebody must have got hurt.
40:08So I go running over there, and what do I see?
40:11The Undertaker, sleeping in the trench.
40:14Oh my goodness.
40:15I said to myself and my guys, what are we going to do?
40:17Get away from him.
40:18I don't know what's going to happen.
40:19We back up about five feet.
40:21He just gets up, walks through the woods and keeps on going.
40:25Disappears into the woods.
40:27Well, we go from an Undertaker signing to a signing of famous parties.
40:30A fitness table, and an attorney, by the way.
40:33Oh, but here we go as well.
40:35Somebody's about ready to rock the house.
40:37Oh, yeah.
40:38Go get him, Oscar.
40:39Oscar, along with Mabel.
40:41And Mabel, ladies and gentlemen, will square off against Pierre
40:46in an upcoming King of the Ring qualifying matchup.
40:51And the winner of the Mabel-Pierre match will face IRS, who's already in.
40:57Absolutely.
40:58And Mabel's got the rhythm, and he's got the ram.
41:01I just want to listen to the beat.
41:02The boss guy.
41:04All right, yes.
41:05It was just last week when we saw the Quebecers lose the Tag Team
41:08Championship to the Head Shakers.
41:10And now, ladies and gentlemen, this coming weekend, Pierre
41:14in single competition against Mabel.
41:17Let's listen up.
41:21We are back with Monday Night Raw.
41:23Vince McMahon, along with the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
41:25Oscar, still getting down, by the way.
41:27How can you be here and there, too?
41:30Hurry, hurry.
41:31Magical.
41:32Need some excitement.
41:33Check out Monday Night Raw.
41:36Yo.
41:37I mean, just how big is Mabel?
41:40Mabel over 500 pounds.
41:43And Mabel, by the way, has been doing exceedingly well for himself
41:46in singles.
41:47Mabel, by the way, has been doing exceedingly well for himself
41:49in single competition since Moa's partner was hurt by Owen Hart
41:54several weeks ago.
41:55That's going to be a real interesting match-up when Mabel
41:58goes against Pierre.
41:59Both tag teamers, usually.
42:01And Mike Bell has taken it to Mabel.
42:04Mike Bell caught Mabel off guard.
42:06Mike Bell chopping away on Big Mabel.
42:09Now kicked into midsection.
42:10Mike Bell with another headbutt in a roundhouse right.
42:13And Bell has backed up another one.
42:15Oh, my goodness.
42:16A chop.
42:17Mabel now with another chop.
42:19Mabel is chopping Mike Bell around.
42:21That's not just a regular chop.
42:22That's a huge chop.
42:23That's a mega chop because Mabel's 503 pounds.
42:26Oh, and a clothesline.
42:29Hey, wait a minute.
42:30Randy Savage, what's that note you just got?
42:32Yeah, I got an anonymous note from an anonymous person
42:35that says, unofficially, of course, that Earthquake
42:40has accepted the sumo challenge from Yokozuna.
42:44Is it too early to get excited?
42:46Or can we verify this in the next few seconds, please?
42:49Let's do it.
42:50Well, I know the king is going to get
42:51to the bottom of the issue.
42:52But it seems like maybe you have beaten the king to the funk.
42:55I could beat Lawler at anything, and Piper can, too.
43:00What a matchup that's going to be.
43:02At the king of the ring, the rowdy one returns to the ring.
43:06Yes.
43:07And Mr. Piper against Jerry, the King, Lawler.
43:11Oh, my.
43:13I just got a nod from a creditable source
43:16that says it is official that Earthquake
43:19accepted the sumo challenge.
43:21Oh, my.
43:22Oh, no.
43:23Look at that.
43:24Wow.
43:26Should we say that's a big leg or the biggest
43:28leg we've ever seen?
43:29Well, maybe next only to Yokozuna at 568 pounds.
43:35And don't count out Earthquake, either.
43:37Indeed.
43:38I've never seen a WWF-style sumo match before.
43:43I can imagine what's going to happen there.
43:45Mike Bell, to the back of the count.
43:47Mabel comes in right after him.
43:50And again, Mabel thus far doing exceedingly well for himself
43:55in single competition.
43:57However, what will happen?
43:59Yeah, oops, there it is.
44:00What will happen when Mabel this weekend faces Pierre?
44:05Well, time will tell.
44:08There it is.
44:09Mike Bell coming off the rope.
44:11Oh, my goodness.
44:12Can't imagine this.
44:13Mabel with the cover and an easy victory for Mabel.
44:16I'd say this is very decisive.
44:19You might say that.
44:22Mabel, a big, big man.
44:25And now you see Oscar, the brains behind the brawn.
44:29This place is rocky.
44:31It certainly is.
44:36Oh, yeah.
44:38Oh, yeah.
44:40We understand that King Jerry Lawler is on his way
44:45to try and find the Earthquake to perhaps verify
44:48what you just told us.
44:50Then again, maybe Lawler doesn't know that you already know.
44:54You can't cause any more friction with me and Lawler
44:57because we've already got a lot of it.
44:59Well, not quite as much as Rowdy Roddy Piper has.
45:02You're right.
45:03And when we return, ladies and gentlemen,
45:05the King is going to check it out.
45:08Welcome back, everyone, to our Monday Night Raw.
45:10Yes, right here next week, one-on-one Earthquake
45:14against Yokozuna and the WWF sumo matchup.
45:18What's going to happen, Randy Savage?
45:20Two behemoths going to crash together.
45:23I think it's going to be devastating.
45:26The ropes are going to come off the ring,
45:28and who knows what happens there?
45:31Sumo shinra can wind up right here.
45:33And what are they going to wear?
45:36Well, I would imagine a traditional sumo outfit,
45:38but nonetheless, let's take you back down to the King Jerry Lawler.
45:41He is with the mighty Earthquake.
45:44I'm standing backstage right now with none other than Earthquake,
45:48the man that has agreed to face Yokozuna in a sumo match
45:53right here next week on Monday Night Raw.
45:56I want to ask you one question.
45:58Are you nuts?
46:00What do you mean, am I nuts?
46:02Yokozuna, I am going to accept the challenge of the sumo match.
46:08Next week on Monday Night Raw,
46:11I am going to show you who the big man in the WWF is.
46:15I'm going to kick your butt.
46:18Oh, believe me, I'm not going to miss Monday Night Raw next week.
46:22You know, they say earthquakes start with little tremors,
46:25and I think I feel a tremor now.
46:27Oh, that's just your knees knocking.
