00:00Hey, wait a minute, McMahon, this isn't The Learning Channel.
00:06I know, Montana, for sure, but wait a minute, I don't recognize this either.
00:10This is not Mr. Rogers' neighborhood for sure.
00:14Yeah, and it's definitely not the Suez Canal.
00:18No, it's not, but what it is is Monday Night Raw.
00:25Welcome, everyone, to Monday Night Raw.
00:28We have a man tonight live from beautiful Vermont, Burlington, Vermont.
00:34From the Burlington Memorial Auto Tournament, take a look at this.
00:37On their way to the square and circle, it's Doink, along with Deek and Leak.
00:42And how about this for a matchup?
00:47Doink is gonna be scoring off against Double J.
00:50Jeff Jarrett's whooping up things and, wait a minute, over right now,
00:54it's Trucco and Carlos Cabrera, let's listen in.
00:57Monday Night Raw,
01:03Roxy Rojas,
01:08Roxy Rojas,
01:13Roxy Rojas,
01:19Roxy Rojas,
01:25Monday Night Raw, brought to you by new Bigger's Tridex Medicated Packs.
01:31It's simple pimple control.
01:33Welcome once again,
01:38ladies and gentlemen, to Monday Night Raw.
01:44Unquestionably, there's gonna be a lot of pranks played here tonight.
01:47But at whose expense?
01:49Vince McMahon here, along with the Macho Men, and Double J, Jeff Jarrett,
01:55just about ready to lock up with Doink.
01:56What's gonna happen, Randy Savage?
01:58Well, I've heard Double J sing his own praises before, but
02:01I've never heard him sing a song before, maybe tonight.
02:05Yes, you never can tell what's gonna happen on Monday Night Raw.
02:08Double J, ready to step right on down that aisle.
02:12Where is he?
02:12He may have chickened out, Randy Savage.
02:15Well, let's hear what he's got to say, Double J.
02:17Here he comes.
02:18Doink and Deek and Wake are here.
02:20And here we go.
02:21Introducing, from Music City, USA,
02:26weighing 232 pounds, Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
02:33What a matchup this is gonna be.
02:36Double J.
02:39And you've never heard him sing before, Randy, huh?
02:41No, I haven't.
02:42How about you?
02:43Well, no, but some say he has a new album he's just about ready to release nationwide.
02:48He's been holding it back, and the name of the album, entitled Ain't I Great?
02:55Is that all about me you mean?
02:57Ha, ha, ha, ha.
02:59A little egotistical, probably.
03:01Yeah, it could very well be.
03:03Wait a minute, let's listen up.
03:05Double J has the mic, and he said maybe he's gonna sing.
03:08Hello, folks, Double J, that's J-E-Double-L, ha, ha, ha.
03:12J-A-Double-R-E-Double-T, that's Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
03:18The world's greatest singer, the world's greatest entertainer, and
03:22the world's greatest wrestler, ha, ha, ha.
03:25Ain't I great?
03:27Ain't I great?
03:29Right now, one of the world's greatest thallers.
03:32Well, you know, I think he does that to gain a little psychological advantage.
03:35Check out the outside of the ring.
03:38I don't think Double J has seen these Burdicky Challenge guys.
03:42I think he definitely has.
03:43To the outside as well, Double J, Jeff Jarrett, ladies and gentlemen.
03:46Just as Doink challenges Double J quickly to the outside again.
03:49Yet more psychology employed by Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
03:53Look at this, trip up on the ankle.
03:55Double J now, look at that.
03:57Double J, Jeff Jarrett, very, very cagey.
04:01And now goes to work on the left ankle of Doink the Clown.
04:05And now Doink is not laughing at all.
04:07Look at this.
04:08This is definitely not funny to Doink right now.
04:10And no, he missed it.
04:13Double J, being set up from the far side.
04:17Now over the heel, nicely done.
04:21Doink now with momentum, Double J slammed down to the canvas.
04:24Notice Doink's new haircut.
04:27Yeah, he does have a new haircut, actually, doesn't he?
04:29Doink now hammering away, and Double J for the ride to the buckle.
04:33Wait a minute, that was Dink.
04:36Dink with a bite of the derriere.
04:39Was that Dink or Wink?
04:41No, that was Dink.
04:43And Double J having a little problem with the right products, as it were.
04:47You see my colors, number one, right?
04:49Yes!
04:52And you wonder whether or not Double J now has to pay attention to what you
04:56brought to our attention earlier on, and that is, to the buckle.
05:00No missing with the elbow.
05:01And Doink standing side headlock, whether or not Double J is about ready to say,
05:05has to be attentive to what's on the outside of the squared circle with Dink and Wink.
05:11Double J's got a couple of small problems on the outside of the ring.
05:15And it may not be so small.
05:18Just ask Jerry The King Lawler, my, dropped toe hold, nicely done.
05:23Better not style, Double J, you better stay on Doink, see that?
05:25Yes, indeed, you can't stall when you're in there with a man like Doink.
05:30And don't let that outfit, well, that one might fool you, but don't let Doink fool
05:33you, because Doink is a consummate professional when it comes to wrestling
05:37skill, sort of like the individual sitting to my right.
05:43My goodness, that might be me.
05:45Snap into it, come on.
05:46Snap into it, Monday Night Raw, and it's fast.
05:50Doink now gets a rope, Double J with a forearm, and for the ride now,
05:56nice reversal, Double J off the rope, and abdominal stretch, no, yes, here we go.
06:00Double J got it.
06:01He's got the rope, too, he's got the leverage.
06:04And quickly releasing.
06:05And the official there on the spot.
06:08Double J and Doink have some bad history between them.
06:12Yes, they do.
06:13A lot of pranks have been played, a lot of bad pranks, I might add, in the past.
06:16However, as of late, the pranks have been between Jerry The King Lawler and
06:21Doink, and there you go, reaching for the rope again.
06:26This past weekend, of course, Doink introducing Wink to join Dink.
06:33Last Monday, here on Monday Night Raw,
06:35we saw Jerry The King Lawler introduce Queezy.
06:37He thought he had evened the score with Queezy and
06:40Dink, only for Doink to outsmart him and introduce Wink.
06:44And if you're getting a little bit confused,
06:46imagine just how confused Jerry The King Lawler must be.
06:48Well, Jerry Lawler's scrambling right now,
06:50you know, because he doesn't wanna be outdone at any time.
06:56And again, a handful of rope here.
06:57Wait a minute, that's Dink out there, and Dink with a little assist.
07:03Is that like biting the hand that feeds you?
07:05It could very well be.
07:08Off the rope with the elbow, nicely done.
07:10And Doink setting up Double J, yeah, wait a minute.
07:19That's not, it was Queezy on the left, we saw Queezy.
07:25But who's the other one?
07:27Wait just a minute, what's going on from behind?
07:30Ooh, that is the turning point of the match right there, did you see that?
07:34Hey, come on, come on, turn around, referee.
07:37Dink and Wink, I wonder if we're able to help out in Double J.
07:42Come on now.
07:43Talk about craziness.
07:44Hey, what's going on here?
07:47Jerry The King Lawler with, that's Queezy on the left,
07:50we have no idea who it is on the right.
07:52Are you sure that's not Lawler with him?
07:53Jerry The King Lawler unquestionably in the King's court later this week.
08:01And I guess maybe Lawler has evened this thing up once again.
08:07Lawler's just a little bit bigger than Queezy anyway.
08:09And Double J, Jeff Jarrett, now with the advantage on Doink.
08:17And Double J hammering Doink.
08:20Wait a minute, wait a minute, Doink for the ride.
08:22No, nice reversal.
08:23Here comes Doink.
08:25Ruby Redback is a matchup.
08:26Unbelievable.
08:29Welcome back, everyone.
08:30We are live from Burlington, Vermont.
08:33At the Burlington Memorial Auditorium, Double J, Jeff Jarrett,
08:35continues to take it to Doink the Clown.
08:38And it's been all Double J during the break.
08:43Yes, indeed, Double J pretty much in an advantageous position.
08:48Now off the rope, going to, no, and a drop knee and a rope by Double J.
08:51Big Double J drop kick right there.
08:53Double J- And a cover, the first one of the match, and a free count.
08:56Almost had him right there.
08:57And Double J now with a reverse chin lock as Double J looks into Queezy.
09:05And whoever- And Queezy's friend.
09:08Queezy's kingly friend.
09:10And I'm sure Jerry the King Lawler's gonna have something to say about that in
09:14the King's court later on.
09:16Off the rope.
09:17And again, the knee looks into midsection.
09:19Double J, Jeff Jarrett, continues to pummel, pretty much, Doink the Clown.
09:23What a match we're watching inside the ring, and
09:25what a match we're watching outside the ring.
09:27He got that too, and by the way, the British Bulldog is set for
09:30action right here tonight, live in Burlington, Vermont, a little bit later on.
09:35In addition to which, Bob's Clark Clug Holly will also be in action.
09:40The Heavenly Bodies will join us, as well as a great deal more.
09:44We'll get a power pack Monday Night Raw.
09:46You got it.
09:48And there we see Dink.
09:49With Dink and Wink around on the outside.
09:57Their efforts earlier on, I believe, were a little distracting.
10:00But since Jarrett, uh-oh, look at this, and a slam.
10:04Or maybe Lawler even the score, boom, missing with the elbow is Doink.
10:09I think Dink and Wink are really holding up their end on the outside.
10:15Double J, Jeff Jarrett, setting up for the Doink the Clown.
10:17Missing with the elbow, and Sleeper Hold applied.
10:21I didn't know Double J knew the Sleeper.
10:24Double J, Jeff Jarrett, putting the Sleeper on.
10:27No, Doink turning into Double J, and now Sleeper Hold is no longer a Sleeper.
10:31Good move by Doink.
10:34Off the rope, back by, no, look at this.
10:37Doink got Double J by the ankle.
10:39What a maneuver that was by Double J.
10:42Give Double J credit.
10:44Doink is a superior wrestler, and Double J might just be a little bit better.
10:49And a cover here, and this one could be over, though.
10:53I'd have to say that that was very, that was closer than close.
10:59Any closer than that, and Doink, Dink, and
11:02Wink may be auctioning off their colorful hair.
11:05Speaking of an auction, by the way, Conway 20.
11:09There was a little auction for Conway 20's belongings.
11:11Can you imagine his widow paying $27,500 for a 1980 AMC Pacer, Randy?
11:20You're kidding.
11:20No.
11:22I got a 1976 AMC, I don't think $27 cash for it.
11:27It's in mint condition, it just needs a steering wheel.
11:30You have a what, a gremlin?
11:31A 1976 AMC gremlin.
11:34It only needs a steering wheel, and
11:37right now Double J needs to get off his back, and so does Doink.
11:42A grueling matchup here to open up things this week on Monday Night Raw.
11:47Last shot, Doink, last shot, Doink, last shot, Doink.
11:51People are getting behind Doink because Dink and
11:53Wink are cheerleading on the outside.
11:56And it could be that Doink has been mesmerized by this beautiful foliage up
12:00here in the Vermont area, although I sort of wonder whether or
12:03not he stole the color of his hair from some of the foliage, I don't know.
12:07And right now, uh-oh, this is trouble for Doink.
12:12Double J, and from the top, and just missed.
12:17Did he get him or did he not get him?
12:19No, he just missed.
12:20High risk maneuver backfired.
12:23Nonetheless, Double J, Jeff Jarrett, continues to pour it on Doink Dakar.
12:27Sets him up for the ride now, and that's enough.
12:31From behind, and with that, uh-oh.
12:34And hanging on the rope there, Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
12:37What is that little king doing up there?
12:40Off the rope, and power slam.
12:46Doink Dakar with momentum.
12:50Wait a minute.
12:50We got a king on the apron.
12:52Yes, on the far side, double kicks here.
12:55Double J setting up Doink Dakar in reversal.
12:57Wow, did you see that?
13:02Wow, that's unfortunate, look at this.
13:04And we're gonna have a victory, one, two.
13:07Yes, and Damian- No, he didn't get him.
13:09No, and wait a minute, we've got- I can't believe he got up.
13:14We have Doink and Wink.
13:16Uh-oh, we're off to the races.
13:18I guess we are.
13:20Let's make Wink the win.
13:21And one, two, and no, Double J lifting his shoulder.
13:26What a match.
13:27And what is going on?
13:28Uh-oh.
13:29We've got Pink, Wink, Queezy, and somebody.
13:37Their tempers are going short.
13:39Yeah.
13:39Uh-oh.
13:48We've got a small problem.
13:50And look what's going on in the ring as well.
13:54And the referee's preoccupied.
13:56There's the whoopee cushion.
13:57Doink's on top of Double J.
13:59Turn around, right there.
14:02Hey, wait a minute, Jerry Lawler, Jerry Lawler's in the ring.
14:06Drilled him.
14:09Are you- Look at this, Jerry the King Lawler came down.
14:15Behind the official's back.
14:16Give me a break.
14:22Double J is victorious.
14:23Double J, Jack Jarrett.
14:29Well, I guess maybe another prank has been played on Doink by Jerry the King Lawler.
14:36They've been going back and forth.
14:38And wait a minute, what is this?
14:39Lawler's coming over here.
14:41We've got a new referee.
14:44What is the meaning of this?
14:45What is the meaning of this?
14:46Let me just tell you this, big man.
14:48I guess you realize there's not going to be a King's Court tonight because I
14:52wanted to have a special introduction.
14:54Who's that?
14:55You know Queezy.
14:56We know Queezy.
14:57I want to introduce to everybody, Sleazy.
15:00Sleazy, you're Sleazy.
15:04Nice outfit.
15:05Does the bag lady know you borrowed it?
15:06Jerry the King Lawler along with Queezy and, did he say Sleazy?
15:14He said it and he is.
15:17Jerry Lawler with Queezy and Sleazy.
15:22A big mistake.
15:23I suppose, nonetheless, it's gonna be a victory in the books for
15:27Double J, Jack Jarrett.
15:29And there, ladies and gentlemen, the British Bulldog is getting ready for action.
15:34He is next when we return.
15:36Stay with us.
15:36All right.
15:39Welcome back, everyone, to our Monday Night Raw.
15:41I assure you that Jerry the King Lawler will not have the last laugh as it relates
15:45to Doink the Clown.
15:48There will be more action, I'm sure.
15:49Speaking of action, however,
15:50let's take you now to what is going to be the world premiere.
15:53Here's some information on the Action Zone.
15:58The WWF Champion.
16:00The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.
16:03The King of Hearts.
16:05I'm gonna beat you, Bret, and I'll become the WWF Champion.
16:09Brother versus brother.
16:11You're going down, brother.
16:13This is gonna be my night.
16:16One final encounter.
16:18Prepare to have your fire put out.
16:20I don't need any more chances.
16:22This Sunday, on the premiere of WWF Action Zone.
16:28All right, ladies and gentlemen, at the world premiere this Sunday,
16:3112 noon at Eastern time.
16:3412 noon Eastern in Pacific, I should say.
16:36And there, yes, the British Bulldog.
16:41And the Rock gets right back.
16:43The British Bulldog ready for individual competition tonight on Monday Night Raw.
16:50The pride of England, not like Princess Di and Birdie.
16:56Well, I don't think we wanna go there, but let's talk about action.
17:02Let's talk about the Action Zone.
17:05The world premiere, broadcasting in Europe and all of North America.
17:12And yes, the fireworks will explode here tonight as well as during the Action Zone.
17:17And I think we've probably heard enough of these NFL pregame talk shows on Sundays.
17:23Tune in, ladies and gentlemen, 12 noon Eastern.
17:26Well, this Sunday, the Action Zone is the King of Hearts' last chance
17:30at the World Wrestling Federation Championship belt.
17:33And you can bet he's gonna pull out all the stops.
17:35Who knows what he is.
17:36What a slap that was by Raymond.
17:38Better stay on him, though.
17:39And a dropkick by the British Bulldog.
17:43Raymond being set up for the ride now.
17:45Off the rope and, Bullseye and live.
17:47Davey Boy Smith, the British Bulldog, another one.
17:52The British Bulldog with Raymond to the ropes.
17:54Coming off now in a back body drop.
17:56It was the British Bulldog, who was in attendance, of course,
18:02at SummerSlam, who came to the aid of the WWF Champion, Bret Hart.
18:07Uh-oh, look at this.
18:07It's a unanimous decision.
18:11He's going up.
18:12I have no question about that.
18:13And what goes up, Randy Savage?
18:16Must come down.
18:23All right, yes.
18:27Need a little excitement, watch the British Bulldog.
18:32And the Bulldog, unquestionably, his bite, as we have said before,
18:36far worse than his bark.
18:39The British Bulldog continuing to move in on Raymond,
18:41who had a bit of an offense at the get-go and has been on the receiving end thus far.
18:46Come on, come on.
18:49Should have stayed on him.
18:51You wonder, during the action zone in the last effort,
18:55the last-ditch effort of Owen Hart this Sunday against the WWF Champion Bret Hart,
19:00you wonder whether or not Jim The Anvil Neidhart is gonna make an appearance.
19:03And if he does, you can bet Davey Boy Smith,
19:06the British Bulldog, is likely to be right there at ringside as well.
19:11I wouldn't bet one penny against The Anvil being there.
19:15Double underhook, suplex from Brie, way out of position, and can't quite get him.
19:23Davey Boy Smith, reverse chin lock.
19:25Come on.
19:26The British Bulldog, back in the WWF, and really doing well for himself as of late.
19:31And Raymond now, softball, hammering away.
19:34A rake in the face sort of got this momentum going for himself.
19:37And Raymond, snatching the Bulldog back out, scoops him up,
19:42and that's an awful lot of meat there to slam, for sure.
19:48Let's see what Raymond does now.
19:49Look at this, to the outside now.
19:51Whatever he does, he better do it quick.
19:54And he is not very quick going upstairs.
19:56And Davey Boy Smith, catching him right in the breadbasket.
20:00Raymond, in a very disadvantageous position.
20:03And Bulldog's going up there with him.
20:05He might be a lot faster coming down.
20:08Yeah, suplex from the top.
20:12A lot of fan support for the British Bulldog.
20:15They remember him well.
20:17The British Bulldog now with Raymond.
20:19And Raymond, to the rope, coming up and boots in the midsection.
20:23The British Bulldog losing his balance there for a moment.
20:26Now moving right back in.
20:27What's this gonna be?
20:27Uh-oh.
20:29And, whoa, what a suplex that was.
20:33A cover.
20:33Will this do it?
20:35No, not quite.
20:36Give him credit.
20:39He hung in there against the British Bulldog.
20:42Another scoop.
20:43Wait a minute.
20:44Look at the power.
20:46And Raymond for the run.
20:49Power slam.
20:50A cover, and legs out.
20:54This match is history.
20:56The winner, the British Bulldog.
21:02A tremendous victory for the British Bulldog.
21:05Today, winners, they will continue to celebrate.
21:10The British Bulldog continues to celebrate his victory.
21:13We are live, ladies and gentlemen, here in Burlington, Vermont.
21:18Earlier this weekend, there was no celebration, however, for
21:22Arnold Schoen, the former manager of the former WWF Champion, Bob Backlund.
21:28No, indeed, no celebration at all.
21:31Matter of fact, Bob Backlund actually put the cross-faced chicken wing
21:36right on Arnold Schoen.
21:38We'll be back, ladies and gentlemen,
21:42with a further word on what happened this past weekend.
21:46Stay with us.
21:53This is Raw, read my book.
21:57Hi, what's your name?
21:59Yes, indeed, Burt Reynolds knows everything about Monday Night Raw.
22:02He knows all about Raw.
22:03What's the name of that book, Randy Savage?
22:04My life.
22:06Not your life, his life.
22:07His life, not your life.
22:09If it was your life, I'd like to read it.
22:11Stop it, a couple of pages might be missing.
22:12I would like to write that book.
22:14A couple of pages might be missing in the book of Arnold Schoen.
22:17We mentioned earlier, he had his problems this past weekend.
22:19In a moment, we're gonna take you back to footage.
22:21We're gonna show you exactly what Bob Backlund did to his former manager.
22:25Now, here's the man, Arnold Schoen, who took Bob Backlund all the way to the top.
22:30It was horrible.
22:31He showed a horrible lack of respect to the man who guided his career,
22:34Ernie Schoen, who this year was inducted into the World Wrestling Federation
22:38Hall of Fame.
22:40Indeed, as a matter of, hey, wait a minute.
22:43Just get out of here.
22:46Man, get over there, Vince.
22:48I'm not going, man.
22:50He doesn't interest me at all.
22:52This man's tap city, gone zone.
22:56See you later, Bob Backlund.
22:57You used to be a-
22:58You must have some explanation for what you did this past weekend to Arnold Schoen.
23:01There's no need to procure that tape and show it to any of those people.
23:05They have seen it, they remember it, they're very, they have great memories.
23:10And there's no need to show that tape here on Monday Night Raw.
23:13Well, just so you can take another look at it,
23:16just so the whole world can see what you did this past weekend to the man who took
23:20you to the championship, let's go back to the footage.
23:23Let's show it one more time.
23:24Let's show you exactly.
23:25That's- That's the way you feel.
23:26I'm really sorry.
23:28I'm sorry.
23:29That's the way you feel.
23:31And you were like a son to me.
23:32Believe me.
23:34You wanna shake my hand?
23:35Wait a minute, you're not gonna shake his hand.
23:38He just apologized to you.
23:40You're not gonna shake this man's hand.
23:42He built your career.
23:43What kind of respect is that?
23:47What's the matter with you, Arnie?
23:50Hey, hey, hey, let's go, get some help out here, come on.
24:02That's some of the most despicable conduct we've ever seen anyone display,
24:07Bob Backlund.
24:08There must be an explanation.
24:10You owe Arnold Scholen an apology.
24:15Maybe I should apologize.
24:18Maybe I should apologize.
24:19But that's more like the Bob Backlund of old.
24:25That's more like the all-American boy.
24:27If finally you have seen the light, if you're gonna apologize, go ahead.
24:32It's not maybe.
24:33Yes, I should apologize.
24:35I should apologize to yours truly.
24:38I should apologize to all these millions of people right here.
24:45I should apologize to Mr. Tunney, the president of the WWF.
24:49And to everybody involved in professional wrestling.
24:55Forever ascertaining Arnold Scholen as my manager.
25:01From the day I chose him as my manager, it was all downhill.
25:06Wait a minute, you're not apologizing.
25:08You're not apologizing for what you did to Arnold Scholen.
25:11I apologize for choosing him.
25:13There was many managers, many managers that wouldn't have thrown in the towel.
25:18The best day of my life was on July 3rd,
25:241994, because I realized that all you Pobelians can't get with it.
25:31You don't have enough courage.
25:36You won't pay the price to be successful.
25:40You're doomed, you're doomed for to down, you're down in life.
25:48I did more to try to boon your life than any athlete in the world.
25:55I sponsored kids' tournaments to try to help your children.
25:59That was then, that was the bottom of old.
26:02I never have ever eaten marijuana.
26:06I have never swore in front of my children.
26:13How many times, ladies and gentlemen, do you swear in front of your children?
26:19How many chemicals do you have in your cabinet at home?
26:23How many drugs do you have in your billfold?
26:26And why do you expect your children not to take drugs and
26:31not to smoke cigarettes and not swear when they're in school?
26:36You should be taking care of your children.
26:40I know where my child is at night, and she's definitely not out there with a gun.
26:47All right, Bob Backen, what does this have to do?
26:50What does this have to do with a cross-faced chicken wing to hold for
26:53which there is no defense, right?
26:55Well, what does this have to do with that?
26:57It has to do with discipline.
27:00It has to do with pride, and it has to do with determination.
27:04I'm proud of the chicken wing, and I'll retire if anybody can get out of it.
27:10And if any of these people in the Green Mountain State think they can get out of
27:15it, I'd be happy, happy to put it on them.
27:20Now, wait a minute, wait a minute.
27:24Look at that, that guy up there, he's up there playing, he up there-
27:27You're challenging, you're challenging.
27:29You're challenging a fan to come down to see if they can escape from the cross-faced
27:35chicken wing?
27:37He's not gonna come down here.
27:39He's brave up there.
27:41I know these people like the back of my hand.
27:44Hey, wait a minute.
27:55Maybe you'd like to have a word here, Lex Luger?
27:59Definitely.
28:00You know, I've seen and heard just about enough about you in the cross-faced
28:07chicken wing, Mr. Backlund.
28:11First, you put the cross-faced chicken wing on a magazine writer from the WWF.
28:25What a proud moment, Mr. Backlund.
28:28And then, you follow that up by putting your long-time friend and manager,
28:36Arnold Scholand, in the cross-faced chicken wing.
28:42Now, I've got just one thing to say to you, Bobby Backlund.
28:52How about a wrestler?
28:54Why don't, for once, you pick on somebody your own size?
28:59What about it?
29:05Pick on somebody your own size.
29:07He's got a lot of panache.
29:09He can wear that flag all over the world.
29:11These champions will not help you.
29:20All right, Lex Luger.
29:24That's the way to tell them off, big time.
29:29Lex Luger saying to Backlund, pick on somebody your own size.
29:34The red, white, and blue coming through again, Vince McMahon.
29:38Luger, Luger, Luger, Luger, Luger, Luger, Luger, Luger, Luger, Luger, Luger, Luger.
29:43These people want to see it now.
29:46And Lex Luger would like to have it now.
29:49Lex Luger coming out and taking out police fans here in Burlington, Vermont.
29:58Backlund actually challenging the fans.
30:01After he put the crossface chicken ring on Skull and did a magazine right.
30:04Welcome back, everyone, to more Monday Night Raw.
30:09Start your engines, and here we go.
30:11We're off to the races.
30:13Coming down the aisle from Caledonia, Alabama.
30:16Weighing 232 pounds, Bob Sparkplug Holly.
30:23Bob Sparkplug Holly.
30:24And of course, Bob Holly pulled Bob Backlund off of Arnold Skull.
30:31And thank goodness for that last weekend.
30:35And this coming weekend, Bob Sparkplug Holly will get his match.
30:39He'll get his wish with the former WWF champion, Bob Backlund.
30:44And I must say, the more you interview Bob Backlund, the more I do it,
30:47it's like the more you look into those eyes, I must say they're getting scary.
30:51Nobody home.
30:52Let me ask you a question.
30:54Eating marijuana?
30:55I beg your pardon?
30:56Eating marijuana?
30:58He must have chewed it, but he didn't swallow.
31:01So it's actually good news.
31:02So Bob Backlund could still be president, right?
31:04Well, I don't know.
31:06But he certainly could still be the WWF champion, according to Backlund.
31:11And some would say he has a point, actually.
31:14According to Bob Backlund, he never surrendered.
31:16It was Arnold Skull who- He's a legend in his own mind.
31:20You're right.
31:20Arnold Skull was the guy that lost it for him.
31:23Bob Sparkplug Holly over Reno Riggins.
31:25Right back at him.
31:26Hip toss.
31:26No.
31:26Nice reversal.
31:27No.
31:28Stopped right there as well.
31:29On the brakes.
31:30And Holly, whoa, goes over.
31:32Clothesline misses.
31:33Bob Sparkplug Holly with a nice suplex.
31:35Awesome.
31:37Bob Sparkplug Holly.
31:39Yes, sir.
31:40Doing it.
31:40Holly is gonna be on his way to the races in Pensacola, Florida.
31:43The Snowball Derby in December.
31:46And, whoa, nice arm drag takedown.
31:49You know, I lose track of all the excuses Bob Backlund has for not having the title.
31:55Well, let's face it.
31:57You will recall the match with the WWF champion, Bret Hart.
32:00And you must admit, Randy Savage, during that matchup,
32:03Bob Backlund thought he had won the title on one occasion with a small package.
32:07And I believe you did too.
32:09Well, I've admitted it before, but I'm tired of admitting it now.
32:12And I'd like to change my mind.
32:15It was a nip and tuck battle there all the way.
32:17Reno Riggins out from the far side.
32:18And he's blocked by Sparkplug Holly.
32:20And, whoa, a hair pull right in front of the official.
32:24You know, Bob Sparkplug Holly's a good friend of David Green,
32:27who drives the Slim Jim car.
32:30Did you know that?
32:31Yes, indeed.
32:31And he's leading the NASCAR Busch Series point championship going into the final race.
32:36My goodness.
32:37And Bob Holly just hit the wall there.
32:41Exactly.
32:43Bob Holly, by the way, is gonna be revving up his own engine.
32:47The W.W.O.
32:49Trackmaster, look at that maneuver.
32:51And Bob Holly going to the outside.
32:55Sparkplug, can't quite make it to the top.
32:57Reno Riggins there, greedy movement.
32:58Another hard right hand right on the side of the jaw.
33:00Riggins is climbing up.
33:01We saw this maneuver earlier on with the Finnish Bulldog.
33:04And hopefully, it's gonna be snapped from the top.
33:07Can't get up.
33:11And Reno Riggins goes flying.
33:13Put out the caution flag.
33:15Yes, indeed.
33:16From the top rope.
33:17Wow, what a flying, flying track.
33:19Unbelievable.
33:20And a pin.
33:22All right, shotgun in this car any time.
33:26Here is your winner, Bob Sparkplug Holly.
33:29Victorious.
33:32Holly gets the checkered flag, so to speak, I guess you'd say, Randy Savage.
33:35He gets better every week.
33:38Bob Sparkplug Holly, victorious this week on Monday Night Raw.
33:42However, what's gonna happen next week on Raw?
33:45Listen up.
33:45You won't even believe this one.
33:49Razor Ramon.
33:51The Intercontinental Champion has fought some epic battles in order to keep the gold around his waist.
33:57Now, the bad guy faces his largest challenge to date.
34:02Yokozuna.
34:04This grizzly giant from Japan hungers for another title.
34:08And with his appetite for destruction, he plans to make a meal out of the man from Miami.
34:15Razor Ramon battles Yokozuna for the Intercontinental title next week on Monday Night Raw.
34:24What a matchup that's gonna be next week.
34:26The title will be up for grabs, ladies and gentlemen.
34:30Yokozuna against the bad guy.
34:33Razor Ramon.
34:34You talk about bad guys, however.
34:37And here comes the man leading IRS into the ring.
34:40Who's not noted for his charity, may we say.
34:43The Million Dollar Man, Ed DiBiase.
34:45Corporation Treaty.
34:50And a now word from your sponsor.
34:53There are only two sure things in this world.
34:57One is death and the other is taxes.
35:00And soon, I'm gonna be exposing the biggest tax cheat in World Wrestling Federation history.
35:07And that is The Undertaker.
35:10What's that all about?
35:13I have no idea.
35:15The Million Dollar Man.
35:17Weighing 220 pounds, Tim McNeely.
35:20First time I've ever heard anything like that.
35:23I've never heard about that before in my life, about The Undertaker.
35:26Tim McNeely obviously has paid his taxes and ready to lock up with Irwin R.
35:31Shyster.
35:32Shyster better keep his mind on action in the ring live here in Vermont.
35:37Tim McNeely.
35:39And listen to this Irwin chant.
35:41All the fans in Vermont, ladies and gentlemen, all over IRS.
35:45I'm gonna try it.
35:46Irwin, I like it.
35:49What a distinctive voice.
35:52Ooh, McNeely, head first to the buckle.
35:56Over the hip, nicely done by Irwin R. Shyster.
35:59I'm not gonna say that anymore, McMahon.
36:01That makes him mad and he starts beating people up fast.
36:05IRS.
36:06Those were some very warm comments that he made earlier on,
36:12reminding everyone about the death and taxes.
36:16Give me a break, what a morbid thought.
36:18And then from there he went into The Undertaker.
36:20Big smile on Dibiase's face and Ted DiBiase, ladies and gentlemen,
36:24assembling the greatest, I guess you'd say, corporate members of anyone in
36:29the history of the WWE.
36:30If you have IRS, joined by Native American Tatanka.
36:34Uh-oh, look at McNeely.
36:35King Kong Bundy.
36:37Bam, bam, Bigelow.
36:39Nikolai Volkov, the list continues to grow.
36:42Money goes to money.
36:44I suppose McNeely being ripped from-
36:46Bullet potion, wait a minute.
36:48McClamor, one, two.
36:50And Irwin a bit embarrassed over that latest brother exchange by McNeely.
36:56And boom.
36:57Goodness, what a suplex.
36:59McNeely appears to be pretty much out of it right now.
37:03IRS is all over him.
37:05Your friendly IRS.
37:07Oh, look at that maneuvering.
37:09There you have it, submission hold.
37:11Talk about a write off.
37:13Yes, indeed, the penalty applied.
37:15And McNeely, he's got it.
37:19Talk about a write off.
37:21Yes, indeed, the penalty applied.
37:23And McNeely gave it a pretty good go, but no match for Irwin R.
37:29Shyster, and make no mistake about it.
37:33IRS is a consummate professional when it comes to technical skill.
37:37By the way, standing by, we are told, is Lex Luger.
37:41Lex is gonna have something to say.
37:43I hope Bob Backlund is listening, and so are you.
37:46We hope.
37:47Stay with us.
37:49We are live, ladies and gentlemen, here in Burlington, Vermont.
37:52Welcome back to more Monday Night Raw.
37:54We mentioned it next week, Yokozuna will be squaring off against Razor Ramon
37:57for the Intercontinental Championship.
37:59Well, not only does Yokozuna have Razor's gold on his mind,
38:02he has something else on his mind, Randy Savage.
38:04You know what that is?
38:05No doubt about it.
38:07A casket.
38:08Exactly.
38:09Let's take a look from footage.
38:11Hey.
38:12Wait a minute.
38:14Wait a minute, McMahon.
38:15Did you hear that?
38:16Yes.
38:18The discussion going on.
38:21Hey, look at this.
38:23Paul Bearer, ladies and gentlemen.
38:25Paul Bearer is pushing.
38:27Yes, he's pushing.
38:28Yokozuna, over this way.
38:30Yokozuna.
38:32Yokozuna looking for the Undertaker.
38:34Look out, Paul Bearer.
38:35That's the Undertaker behind you.
38:37And the Undertaker's gonna be in that casket.
38:39The latest way.
38:40Turn around, Yokozuna.
38:43Wait a minute.
38:44Yokozuna.
38:45Look out, look out.
38:46He's backing right towards the casket.
38:48He's been turned around.
38:50Is the Undertaker in there or not?
38:53Paul Bearer waiting for Yokozuna to turn around.
38:56Tell him to turn.
38:57Look how it is.
38:58Whoa.
38:59Yokozuna, obviously.
39:02Obviously very afraid of the casket.
39:04Is the Undertaker in it?
39:06But he better get used to it.
39:07Yokozuna running away.
39:09He won't be able to run away.
39:11But he may be falling down.
39:12He's not running, McMahon.
39:13He's not running.
39:16Oh, my.
39:17Yes, Yokozuna is a-
39:18Oh, come on, Big Mouth.
39:19Ladies and gentlemen, here they are.
39:21The team that have won more wrestling matches than Elvis and The Beatles combined.
39:26The Doctor of Desire, Tom Prichard, and the Gigolo, Jimmy Del Rey.
39:32They are the Heavenly Bodies.
39:36This is-
39:37The Heavenly Bodies, all right.
39:38This is tough to watch.
39:39And here's the greatest wrestling manager in the world, ladies and gentlemen,
39:43Mr. Jim Cornette.
39:46And a round of applause for Mr. Cornette.
39:48I don't think so.
39:49And a total combined weight-
39:50If he leaves the building, I'll-
39:52178 pounds.
39:54The team of Nick-
39:55Well, how about Yokozuna?
39:57Is he afraid of the casket or what?
39:59I don't like his chances on the WWF Heart Attack Tour.
40:02The Undertaker likely to catch up with Yokozuna.
40:06However, will Yokozuna catch up with Rey Ramon next week?
40:11I'll pay you.
40:13Talk about a phobia with Yokozuna out the behind.
40:17I would say he could take that Intercontinental title if it wasn't for
40:20him wrestling with his own thoughts about The Undertaker.
40:24We'll get back to that a little bit later on.
40:26Barry Harwood's in there right now with Prichard.
40:29That's the Doctor of Desire, for those of you keeping score.
40:33And a leapfrog by Prichard.
40:34Look at this.
40:35Harwood's on the far side.
40:36Another leapfrog.
40:37What are they gonna do now?
40:38Up, up, up, up.
40:40And to the ropes.
40:42I've never seen that before.
40:44That was clever, huh?
40:46The Doctor of Desire.
40:48Yeah.
40:50It's got a ring to it.
40:51He just slapped the Doctor of Desire.
40:54And a tight waist into a pinning combination.
40:56No, not quite.
40:58Arm drag, no, can't quite get him over.
41:00And reaching for the tag.
41:01Harwood's tagging in his partner now, Nick Barberry.
41:04And likewise, tagging in is the gigolo Jimmy Del Rey arm drag takedown.
41:09Over the hip, nicely done.
41:11The Heavenly Buddies are having their problems here live on Monday Night Raw.
41:16Quick tag, how about that?
41:17Gigolo, Doctor of Desire having a tough time here.
41:21Barberry and his tag team partner Harwood's having a great deal of success thus far.
41:26Although now, a tag is made and here comes Prichard back in.
41:31Arm drag takedown again.
41:34Harwood and his partner Barberry may have something going for themselves here.
41:38Look at this takedown, nicely done.
41:42How about this, an upset over the Heavenly Buddies.
41:45That would be tremendous.
41:46We've seen many upsets here in the past on Monday Night Raw.
41:49And a round out misses there.
41:50And wait a minute, way off.
41:52How about that maneuver?
41:53I've never seen that before in my life.
41:55No, I think Barberry hasn't seen it before either.
41:57He may never see it again.
42:00Dropping the knee is the gigolo Jimmy Del Rey.
42:06A boot up underneath the chin.
42:09And the gigolo unquestionably one of the more repulsive wrestlers when he does
42:12that sort of a dancing type thing.
42:14Wait a minute and go.
42:16Forget about it.
42:17Talk about teamwork.
42:19And finally we are seeing some of that teamwork that Cornel claims
42:23the Heavenly Buddies are famous for.
42:27The Heavenly Buddies had their wings clipped at one time by the smoking guns.
42:33And you wonder whether or not it's gonna happen again.
42:35Wait a minute, going up to the top.
42:37Yes, he is.
42:38What's he doing?
42:39Uh-oh.
42:40And a pull.
42:41Unbelievable.
42:43A cover here and a pin.
42:44Yeah.
42:46I'm blinded by science.
42:48That was science?
42:49We're in trouble.
42:50Here are your winners, the Heavenly Buddies.
42:52The Heavenly Buddies.
42:53Not the most victorious.
42:55And I suppose Jim Cornette is very, very happy.
42:59But I would suggest he's not gonna be too happy
43:02when Yokozuna has to face The Undertaker on the Heart Attack Tour.
43:07Then again, imagine the celebration of Cornette, Fuji, and Yokozuna
43:12if next week Yokozuna defeats Razor Ramon from the Intercontinental Championship.
43:19It's the inevitable doom.
43:20It's the fork in the road.
43:22Next week he'll either be the champion or it's the box.
43:27That's not much of an alternative, is it?
43:29No, it isn't.
43:30All right, ladies and gentlemen, stand by.
43:32We'll be back with Lex Luger as we continue with more of Monday Night Raw.
43:38Oh, yeah.
43:40Promotional consideration paid for by the following.
43:43I always like to keep my favorite snack handy.
43:48Need a little excitement?
43:50Snap into a Slim Jim.
43:51Oh, yeah.
43:54We're back, everyone, in Burlington, Vermont.
43:57Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is Lex Luger,
43:59who had a few words to say earlier on to the former WWF Champion Bob Backlund.
44:04Lex Luger's my new hero.
44:06He is, huh?
44:07That's right, he told them all.
44:08As far as this capacity crowd is concerned, they're behind him 100%.
44:11Backlund didn't have too much to say.
44:12Lex, there you are.
44:14Lex, what's up?
44:16Well, you know, one thing I have to say to Bobby Backlund,
44:21ever since I entered the sport of professional wrestling,
44:24I've heard about the legendary Bob Backlund,
44:27the finest technical wrestler ever to step into the ring.
44:30All I can judge Bob Backlund is in what I see now,
44:33and I don't like what I see.
44:35So what I'm doing right here, right now,
44:37is issuing a challenge to you, Bobby Backlund,
44:41a challenge to wrestle a new generation WWF wrestler.
44:46I'm issuing the challenge.
44:47Let's see what you got.
44:50Thank you very much, Lex Luger.
44:52What a matchup that would be.
44:54Indeed, to see just exactly what Bob Backlund really has.
44:57Lex Luger's putting Backlund on the spot.
44:59He's got to respond.
45:01And perhaps we'll have that response when we return.
45:04Stay with us.
45:07Welcome back, everyone.
