00:05Monday Night Raw is brought to you by Tyco,
00:08who brings you great toys like Dr. Dreadful and Matchbox cars.
00:13Welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw.
00:18I'm your host,
00:24Shawn Michaels.
00:30Welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw.
00:33On his way to join me in the broadcast position this week,
00:38the former co-owner of the WWF Tag Team Championship.
00:42Indeed, the former tag team partner of the now reigning
00:47World Wrestling Federation Champion, Diesel.
00:50Yes, indeed, tonight, Shawn Michaels.
00:54Tonight, Shawn Michaels.
00:58Tonight, Shawn Michaels, we will witness a one on one encounter.
01:02It's Davey Boy Smith, the British Bulldog, scoring out against Double J.
01:07This is kind of news to me, I don't mean to hog the spotlight here, McMahon.
01:10Cuz I'm not that kind of guy.
01:11That would be so presumptuous of me.
01:13Well, the heartbreak kid ain't that kind of cat.
01:16But what I'd like to do is talk about the hottest topic in the World Wrestling
01:20Federation, that being, of course, yours truly, the heartbreak kid.
01:23But even instead of that, I wanna go on and
01:26introduce a very good friend of mine, the hardest working man in show business, Double J.
01:32Well, it's gonna be one of those nights for sure.
01:42Ladies and gentlemen, here comes another egomaniac, Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
01:45I must say this man enjoys the spotlight every bit as much as you, Shawn Michaels.
01:50You say that like it's a bad thing, McMahon, come on.
01:52Wait a minute, okay, enjoying the spotlight is one thing.
01:55Hogging the spotlight is something else.
01:58Technicalities, technicalities.
01:59Look at the shades on Double J, you have got to be tough.
02:03A little sloppy camera work here is Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
02:07The spotlight almost stolen from him by one of our cable pullers.
02:10Double J wouldn't let that happen, McMahon again.
02:12Look at those eyeglasses, would you?
02:15You have got to be tough to be wearing specs like that, am I right?
02:20Tough or a little funny, and Double J beginning his strut.
02:24Take a look, ladies and gentlemen, Double J from Music City.
02:28And while I'm at it, Double J now from maybe Las Vegas, Nevada.
02:32That's right, they have rolled out the red carpet for old Double J in Las Vegas.
02:36And speaking of rolling out the red carpet, here we go.
02:40Yes, Double J one on one with Baby Boy Smith,
02:45the British Bulldog, the Rock is right there with the British Bulldog.
02:52What a tremendous matchup this is gonna be here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
02:58I don't believe it, look at this set up when the Bulldog comes to the ring.
03:00How come I don't get stuff like that?
03:01Well, because you don't wear shades like Double J, and
03:04what can I say, you're not the British Bulldog.
03:06Come on, but I am the most happening cat in all of the World Wrestling Federation.
03:10Yes, I'm sure that you would agree with that.
03:13Exactly.
03:15Baby Boy Smith against Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
03:18What kind of a matchup are we gonna see here, Mr. Michaels?
03:21Well, Double J was one of my teammates at Survivor Series.
03:24One of the teamsters, who I must say, is also upset with Big Daddy Cool.
03:28I'm not the only one.
03:30I see, and Double J having words with the ring attendant.
03:32And look at this outfit.
03:34What is that, is that tinsel hanging off of the obliques?
03:37Tinsel and stars, Double J sees nothing but stars.
03:41He may see stars, all right.
03:43After this matchup, the British Bulldog, wait a minute.
03:46Nice arm drag takedown by Double J.
03:48Wait a minute.
03:49He's gonna congratulate himself.
03:50He's feeling good.
03:51One successful arm drag and he starts strutting.
03:54Come on, McMahon.
03:55He's his own biggest fan.
03:57You gotta be when you're out there all alone.
03:59I see.
04:01The British Bulldog, obviously more powerful than Double J.
04:06Top wrist lock, I don't know if that's a nice maneuver.
04:08Nice go behind there by the British Bulldog, and reversal by Double J.
04:14Nice trip up, nice take, my goodness, did you see that?
04:17Double J, that is shades of Shawn Michaels, look at this.
04:22What arrogance, I can't believe that.
04:24I gotta tell you, I like what I'm seeing out of Double J.
04:26He's really feeling his oats tonight.
04:29Double J, Jeff Jarrett is going to quickly raise the ire of the British Bulldog if he
04:33has it already.
04:35And maybe that's what he's trying to do.
04:37I don't think, look at this.
04:39Has him in the corner, Double J won't let him out.
04:41A serious knee lift to the abdominal area, look at this.
04:43Double J going to work on the British Bulldog, pulls him out.
04:47Pulls him out.
04:49No, reversal and Double J goes out.
04:52That's where the power of the British Bulldog comes into play.
04:55Wait a minute, look at that strut.
04:56Yes, come on, Double J, go eat your hat.
05:03That ain't exactly the smoothest strut I've ever seen, McMahon, but
05:06I guess it'll do.
05:07Yeah, I guess it'll do, it certainly got its point across, didn't it?
05:10The British Bulldog, ready to show Double J how it's done.
05:15And he didn't show everybody how he's done in Survivor Series, did he, McMahon?
05:18Knocked himself out, himself out cold.
05:21Well, yes, David Boyer trying to get even with Owen Hart after Owen had
05:25clotheslined Bret Hart from behind while a sharpshooter was applied on Bob Macklin.
05:29But speaking of knocking people out, you almost knocked out Diesel, and
05:33that was the straw that broke the camel's back.
05:36And Diesel was looking for you, and where were you?
05:40Come on, I had a date that night, I had to get out of town.
05:42In my hometown of San Antonio, chicks are all over me, come on.
05:46Yeah, right, Double J coming off the rope, and-
05:48You're running the British Bulldog, you're going nowhere.
05:50Like running into a brick wall.
05:52Double J, what's he gonna do now?
05:54And look at the- Please, with those camera shots.
05:59I'm not so sure who that gentleman is.
06:02Coming off the rope, and boom, there goes Double J again with the party.
06:07Now, can you imagine if the 7'317 pound Diesel hit Shawn Michaels like that?
06:13My goodness, you'd be in orbit.
06:15You'd go flying out over that top rope.
06:17You'd be somewhere up there with a Sputnik.
06:19You'd really love to see that, wouldn't you, Vin Man, wouldn't you?
06:22Well, it's not gonna happen.
06:23It's not gonna happen.
06:25And here we go, takeover, and nice hit.
06:27Right back up, and down again, head scissor again, kick out again.
06:33Look at this, Double J takes the British Bulldog.
06:36Every time he takes him over, Baby Boy Smith puts him-
06:39Oh, look at this, he'll be shoving people around now.
06:42What are you gonna do with it?
06:43What is this again, McMahon?
06:45Well, actually, there must be something here to this gentleman.
06:49Is he talking to Double J?
06:51Is he like a fan?
06:52He just said, come on, Double J.
06:53Actually, I thought he was one of the cable pullers earlier on,
06:57but apparently he is in the corner of Double J.
07:00Maybe he's a cameraman, he's just a big fan of Double J's, you think?
07:04I don't think so, I'm not too sure Double J has any fans.
07:07Maybe he's a bodyguard of some kind, because, I mean,
07:10Double J was embarrassed at the Survivor Series.
07:13Look at this, Leapfrog by Double J.
07:14The British Bulldog underneath another Leapfrog and, uh-oh, trouble for Double J.
07:20I know where you're going with this bodyguard thing.
07:21Double J goes up, and what goes up, Shawn Michaels, eventually.
07:28Look at the look on Double J's face up there, the bus cut down.
07:31You think I don't know where you're going with this bodyguard thing, do you?
07:34But we know where Double J's going, he's on his back,
07:37just as he was when Chuck Norris, the special troubleshooting guest referee,
07:42the Texas Ranger, gave the Double J a kick he will remember for a long, long time.
07:47There's that guy again outside, what's he doing?
07:49Well, he is definitely with Double J.
07:51You know, this sort of scares me, he almost looks like a bodyguard.
07:55Double J having his problems with Davey Boy Smith, the British Bulldog.
07:59Wait a minute, here comes the Bulldog.
08:00No, wait a minute.
08:02Double J back in the ring, and
08:04Double J with the British Bulldog whips him to the far side, to the buckle.
08:09No.
08:11And yes, Double J is seeing stars now, and maybe now, all the way up into the galaxy.
08:18Look at that, the Bulldog snapping back and forth.
08:22That's not gonna help the singing voice of Double J at all, I'm telling you.
08:25And the British Bulldog to the outside now.
08:27Davey Boy Smith up all the way from the top rope, no, no.
08:31Double J catches the British Bulldog.
08:33Davey Boy Smith is gonna go for a high risk maneuver.
08:36But right now, Double J has the advantage, snaps him off from the top.
08:41The cover, two in.
08:42No, only a count of two.
08:44That big goof, the British Bulldog, are no better than high risk maneuvers.
08:48He's too big for that, McMahon.
08:50Indeed not.
08:51You have to take a chance.
08:52And you should know that, more than anyone else, with all the chances you take.
08:56Yeah, but I'm that kind of cat, I can get away with it.
09:00Double J, Jeff Jarrett, trying to keep the big Bulldog down on the canvas.
09:04Uh-uh, nothing doing.
09:06A series of elbows now.
09:08And the British Bulldog pricks a hold out to rope in.
09:11The knee lift to the midsection, and Double J another cover, two in.
09:14Almost a count of three.
09:17Double J with a series of near falls here on the British Bulldog, Davey Boy Smith.
09:22There's that guy again, he's- And he is definitely in the corner of Double J,
09:25no doubt about it.
09:27He's definitely on Double J's side, but can you blame him?
09:28I'm on Double J's side.
09:30Yeah, sure.
09:31Sure as Owen Hart is on his side as well.
09:33Certainly, all of us teams should stick together, with the exception of one.
09:37With the exception of one, you're not making reference to the seven foot
09:41World Wrestling Federation champion, Diesel, are you?
09:44Do you have to say World Wrestling Federation champion every time you
09:47mention his name?
09:48Yeah, the man whom you said, without you, would amount to nothing.
09:52Double J, no, look at the move ahead of his team.
09:56And the British Bulldog down on the canvas.
09:57Double J, and this one everybody's all right, on the top rope, man.
10:03Double J's gonna go for the cover.
10:05This matchup will continue, stay with us.
10:10We're back with more Monday Night Raw.
10:11That's Double J, Jeff Jarrett,
10:13perched there on the top rope, Davey Boy Smith, come on.
10:16From the alleyway, just in the nick of time.
10:19Vince McMahon here along with Shawn Michaels.
10:22That's the heartbreak kid to you, McMahon.
10:23All right, the heartbreak, and coming up, though, not Double J.
10:25Double J from the far side, and a double collision here.
10:29Both men down on the canvas.
10:32And this corner man doing what he can to try and
10:36encourage Double J to get back up, both men down.
10:40This may be drifting a little bit, McMahon, but I think now would be a good time
10:45to bring to everybody's attention the tinsel on Double J's tights.
10:48He's definitely in the holiday spirit.
10:50Wait a minute, at a moment like this, you're talking about Double J's tinsel?
10:54That one is tight, wait a minute, one, two, small package, he got him.
10:57No, he didn't.
10:58You see the match, I see it my way.
11:01You're saying Double J is the Tim Allen in the World Wrestling Federation?
11:06The Santa Claus, if you would?
11:07I don't think so.
11:09My, look at this, Davey Boy Smith is gonna go to sleep.
11:13He ought to be used to this, McMahon.
11:14He slept right through Survivor Series.
11:16Double J, Jeff Jarrett, putting a British Bulldog to sleep.
11:22And that sleeper hold has really cinched in.
11:25Who is that?
11:25In this corner, man, can't believe it.
11:27What's he looking for?
11:29I don't know, but he's certainly not looking for Double J's new album,
11:31Ain't I Great?
11:32Cuz you can't find that thing anywhere.
11:34It's going right off the shelves, McMahon.
11:36Yeah, right.
11:37You know, the last time the British Bulldog slept like this,
11:39it cost his brother-in-law the World Wrestling Federation Championship.
11:43The Hitman, Bret Hart, which we will comment on a little bit later on.
11:46But right now, things look very, very bleak for the British Bulldog.
11:49If Double J can pull this one off, Double J will be on his way.
11:54Not only to stardom in Las Vegas, but
11:56he certainly will be on his way to stardom, super stardom here in the WWE.
12:02And Razor O'Rourke will probably have to acknowledge Double J as the number one
12:05contender for his- Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, look at this.
12:08What power.
12:09With the sleeper hold applied, the British Bulldog backed Double J into the corner.
12:14That's unbelievable power.
12:17Double J raising a knee to the midsection, however.
12:20Double J with the advantage and Bulldog's the Bulldog.
12:25Double J, Jeff Jarrett, leans back for a cover and almost a count of three.
12:30Wouldn't it be ironic if the Bulldog got beat by the Bulldog?
12:34Anything can happen in the WWF.
12:36I could even have a guest commentator like you.
12:39That proves anything can happen.
12:41You gotta love the new generation, right?
12:43The rope in, yes.
12:45This is gonna do it, one, two, victory for British.
12:48No, that was only two.
12:50Not tonight, not tonight.
12:52Double J, back to his feet.
12:53However, he's hooked up now.
12:55He's gonna go for a ride again.
12:56Here we go, and yes, a suplex, a cover.
13:01Almost a count of three, but I can't believe Double J kicked out of that.
13:05That move never beats anybody, Vin Man.
13:09Double J, Jeff Jarrett, back on his feet, a hard right.
13:13Right underneath the jaw.
13:15And the Hitman Bret Hart, you can bet he's looking on from Calgary, Alberta.
13:20That's, come on, right on the throat.
13:21Come on, ref.
13:22With his arm in a sling.
13:24Recovering from the effects of that cross-face chicken wing applied at
13:28the Survivor Series.
13:30That hold placed on Bret Hart for an interminable amount of time.
13:33Nonetheless, the former WWF, former two-time WWF Champion,
13:38Bret Hart, will return to action in early January.
13:43I'll be counting the days, that's for sure.
13:46Wait a minute, look at this.
13:47Just a hair.
13:48One sharp dresser, you gotta give him that.
13:51No, I don't believe so.
13:53But nonetheless, clearly in the corner of Double J, we thought that earlier on,
13:57perhaps he was a kegel puller or someone, a stagehand of some kind.
14:02But obviously in the corner of Double J.
14:05Maybe he's one of those crazed fans.
14:08Yeah, you should know about that, huh?
14:11You ain't kidding, they're all over.
14:12They love the Heartbreak Kid.
14:13And again, Davey Weissman attempting to escape in.
14:17He does, as he did once before.
14:18Same maneuvering.
14:20Double J setting up the British Bulldog off the rope.
14:22Back, no, wait a minute, look at this.
14:24No, right on the spine.
14:28You have to admit, it's amazing the power the British Bulldog has this late in
14:31the match.
14:31And back, what a drop.
14:34The British Bulldog coming on strong.
14:37Double J clearly in trouble off the rope.
14:39He's knocking the tension off.
14:41He's British Bulldog, yes, look at this.
14:46And Double J is being hammered from pillar to post, and he's had it.
14:51It's time to hang small, McMahon.
14:53He's going on back to Nashville.
14:55He's going back to Las Vegas or wherever it is he came from.
14:58He's out of here.
15:00Double J feels like it's time to amscray, but here comes the British Bulldog.
15:03The Bulldog's coming after him.
15:05The British Bulldog scoops up, scoops up, look at this.
15:10The British Bulldog pressing Double J over his head.
15:15And bringing him back to the ring and throws him right back into the ring.
15:19This match is not over, ladies and gentlemen.
15:21No, the British, wait a minute.
15:24Having a little trouble.
15:25Get down by the ankle.
15:26Who's he talking to?
15:27Wait a minute, I'm not too sure what happened here.
15:31The Bulldog is caught sleeping again.
15:33And as a result of a count out, Davy Boy Smith was counted out.
15:37Double J Jeff Jarrett.
15:39And in fact, that man right there.
15:43There he is.
15:43That had to be the man next to Double J that was hanging on to
15:46the Davy Boy Smith's ankle.
15:48I can't believe it.
15:49How could he do that?
15:49He's right there.
15:50Plus the guy looks like he's got a bad back.
15:53Look at this.
15:55Double J Jeff Jarrett with a count out victory over the British Bulldog.
16:01I can't believe this.
16:03Whoever that man is at Double J's corner,
16:05there should be some sort of investigation.
16:08Come on, you kidding me?
16:09What's wrong with that?
16:10The very first guy was-
16:11If he can't get back in the ring.
16:13The first time we see this, Roadie, let's go back and take another look.
16:16You know, it's funny something like that should happen this time of year.
16:19You know, with Santa's little helpers.
16:20Double J's got his little helpers.
16:22That's all it was.
16:22A little elf under the ring, McMahon.
16:24You know what I mean?
16:25I guess you can say Double J got his holiday wish.
16:29Your wishes come true as the WWF Holiday Wish Tour comes to town.
16:35Don't miss it this Thursday as we make our way to PA and take over the Erie Civic Center.
16:42Don't make a mistake by the lake.
16:44Get your tickets today.
16:46Next stop, December 9th at the Rochester War Memorial.
16:50On the 10th, we storm into the War Memorial in Syracuse.
16:54On Sunday, the 11th, we hit the Utica Memorial Auditorium.
16:58And on December 26th, we head west as we invade the Arco Arena in Sacramento, California.
17:05Make all your wishes come true as the Holiday Wish Tour comes to your town.
17:12We're back where we're Monday Night Raw.
17:14However, right now, let's take you back to last Wednesday night.
17:16It's the 10th Annual American Sportscasters Association Hall of Fame Awards Dinner.
17:20Who's on hand to open up this extravaganza?
17:23None other than the former president of the United States, Gerald R. Ford.
17:26We're talking about a good time for the WWF, a good time for everyone.
17:30Look at Bush, the Bushwhackers were on hand, as well as Doink, as well as Dink.
17:35And then who else?
17:36The WWF champion, the seven-foot Diesel, oh, yeah.
17:40Dick Gettin' Burnt from NBC, having a chat with Big Daddy Cool, looking up to him.
17:44And then Big Daddy Cool looks up to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
17:47Oh, yeah, it's a grand old time.
17:50Yogi's there, Tommy Lasorda.
17:52It was a plethora of superstars.
17:54And check out that chrome bowtie.
17:56All right, we're back in the ring, ladies and gentlemen, back for action.
18:00Yes, by the way, congratulations to the honorees.
18:03Keith Jackson from ABC Sports, Andres Cantor from Univision.
18:07You know the man who says gold.
18:10Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who we saw in the footage there next to Big Daddy Cool.
18:14Pat Summerall, legendary Pat Summerall, along with the jockey great,
18:18Julie Krohn, all of whom, ladies and gentlemen,
18:21were honored at the American Sportscasters Hall of Fame Awards Dinner.
18:25Can you believe Big Daddy Cool sucking up to all the big wigs in New York?
18:29I should have been there.
18:30Actually, Big Daddy Cool was invited to be there, Mr. Michael.
18:34Your invitation must have got lost in the mail.
18:36Same old story.
18:38I guess so.
18:40Here we go, the one, two, three kids squaring off against Barry Horowitz.
18:43The one, two, three kid has pulled off many an upset here on Monday night.
18:48Raw, as a matter of fact, on the action zone just yesterday.
18:51The kid teamed up with Aldo Montoya, and after the decision was reversed,
18:57or that is to say at least the match had to continue,
19:00the kid and Montoya pulled off yet another upset over the Heavenly Bodies.
19:03You have to admit, the one, two, three kid and
19:05Aldo Montoya make a pretty good tag team.
19:07And the kid with a drop kick.
19:09And didn't get all of it, but enough of it to knock Horowitz down.
19:12Although I gotta tell you, with a build like that, the kid oughta be calling 911.
19:16The 911 kid?
19:17Yeah.
19:19Well, calling what you will, calling successful, if you would.
19:23The one, two, three kid sets up Horowitz, and a nice suplex.
19:26Nicely done, by the way.
19:27I don't know why I'd have any reason to call him at all.
19:30I see.
19:31And a little bit later on, ladies and gentlemen, Jerry The King Lawler.
19:34We are told by emissaries, if you would, of The King, a nice suplex by Horowitz,
19:40that this is gonna be the most special King's Court ever.
19:45And that can mean, I would suggest,
19:47only one individual to be in the King's Court.
19:50And that would be the seven foot World Wrestling Federation Champion.
19:54The man who defeated Bob Backlund in a record setting, eight seconds.
19:58Come on, we've got- Madison Square Garden, please allow me to mention
20:02the name of the leader of the new WWF generation, the champion, Diesel.
20:07Enough about Diesel already, McMahon.
20:10Let's talk about the real leader of the new generation.
20:12Yours truly, the Heartbreak Kid, pal.
20:15I say we show that Michael's kid off every chance we get.
20:18Every chance we get, I say, throw that Michael's cat on the camera, all right?
20:23Yeah. That's all I'm saying.
20:24That's fantastic.
20:26I simply say that because the camera loves the Heartbreak Kid, you dig?
20:29Yeah, right.
20:30And the Heartbreak Kid loves the camera.
20:32You betcha.
20:33Yeah, right.
20:35Why aren't you wearing some of that tinsel that Double J was wearing earlier?
20:38I'm not exactly in the holiday spirit just yet.
20:40Are you ever?
20:42I consider myself a pretty festive guy.
20:43All I wanna do is have some fun.
20:45I see.
20:46And speaking of having fun and festivities, ladies and gentlemen, yes,
20:49we mentioned earlier the WWF Holiday Wish Tour.
20:52My goodness, don't miss it because we're talking the World Wrestling Federation live.
20:57All the excitement, the glitz, the glamour, and you can be right there at ringside and
21:02see up close and personal the WWF superstars, even including Shawn Michaels.
21:08The Holiday Wish Tour heads your way.
21:10And by the way, partial proceeds will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
21:15Not part of my proceeds.
21:16Well, no, not part of yours.
21:18I'm not that festive.
21:19Coming off the rope, and boom, what a maneuver by the one, two, three kid.
21:24A one, two, three kid trying to set up Barry Horowitz.
21:27Rips him to the ropes and another one.
21:30A little chin music for Barry Horowitz, much like that Big Daddy cool receipt.
21:34Boom, and cover, two, and does he get him yet?
21:38A one, two, three kid victorious.
21:41The kids catch it up a little bit later on, ladies and gentlemen.
21:46We're gonna see in action the Bushwackers squaring off against
21:50a tag team of Well Done.
21:54Bob Backlund, first he lost his mind, then he lost his title.
22:02Now, the maniac of the mats must regain his winning ways if he wants to
22:06recapture glory.
22:08Doink the Clown, his combination of wrestling skill and ringside pranks will
22:13come in handy when he tries to derail the demented Bob Backlund.
22:18Who will prevail as mischief meets madness?
22:21Next week on Monday Night Raw.
22:25What a matchup that's gonna be next week, ladies and gentlemen.
22:27However, yet to come this week, yes, Jerry, the King Lawler in the King's Court,
22:31and his very, very special guest.
22:33Shawn Michaels is playing with a video game, and we're ready for an action.
22:39Here it is, the new acclaimed video game, WWF Raw, just in time for
22:43the Christmas holidays.
22:44The most powerful game ever, first ever, four player option, 12 WWF superstars.
22:50Who's in there now?
22:51And here's a move I like to do every now and then.
22:53That's right, it's the heartbreak kid, that's how I handle it.
22:55And that's a one, two, three kid.
22:56You see me do this one a lot, McMahon, this is my favorite move.
22:59What favorite?
23:00Give me a break.
23:01You wish.
23:02When do you see that live?
23:03Yeah, only on WWF Raw, the new acclaimed video game, only.
23:09And by the way, there's a companion video coming out,
23:12Pelosium Home Video, and this I'm sure you're gonna study up on.
23:16Gives you all the WWF Raw strategies and secrets.
23:19It's the video guide for the game itself, and here's a guide to Quang.
23:24You gotta do your homework, McMahon.
23:27Yeah, but give me a break.
23:28Don't you wish you could do some of those moves that these people have you
23:32doing on the acclaimed video?
23:34Whipple Boy, I like that.
23:35Taylor!
23:36You know, I understand Harvey Whippleman is rumored to be in the Little Black Book
23:40of Heidi Fleiss.
23:42You're kidding me.
23:43He's a stud.
23:44Look at him.
23:45Harvey Whippleman?
23:46That's right.
23:46There's the stud, Howard Finkel.
23:48He may be in the Heidi Fleiss Black Book.
23:50I don't think Harvey would be.
23:53Then again, you never can tell, it's a WWF.
23:55Anything goes here with the new generation of the World Wrestling Federation.
23:59Yep, Scott Taylor ready to lock up with this well-experienced superstar, Quang.
24:04You know, I hope the young Miss Fleiss doesn't do any time.
24:07I think you're frightened.
24:08Why is that?
24:09Well, I feel she should be sentenced to community service then,
24:12if you know what I mean.
24:13Community service.
24:15My goodness, Scott Taylor down to the canvas.
24:17I've been looking goofy.
24:18I haven't seen him my whole life.
24:20You know that, Finkel?
24:21Uh-oh.
24:21You got a big mouth.
24:22Whippleman is verbally paintbrushing Howard Finkel.
24:25Got big bug eyes.
24:28Bug eyes?
24:29Hey, wait a minute.
24:30Look at this.
24:32That was your contract, Harvey Whippleman just tore up.
24:35That wasn't my contract.
24:37That was a chintzy contract that gave Michael Jordan 10 Gs for baseball.
24:40Come on, Mike.
24:41Uh-huh.
24:42Well, that's not counting the 30 million endorsements and, my goodness.
24:46Scott Taylor's face just met the mat.
24:50That endorsement contract's more like the Heartbreak Kids contract, big man.
24:53My goodness, and what a tremendous kick that was.
24:57And Quang getting ready to cough up.
24:59Uh-oh, this time it's red.
25:02Red and green, Quang's in a holiday spirit.
25:04You gotta give him that.
25:05In the holiday spirit.
25:07Somehow I don't picture Quang in a holiday spirit.
25:09And Scott Taylor is certainly not going to be, if this match was.
25:13Oh, look at this.
25:15Can you believe this?
25:17Harvey is challenging Finkel, and Finkel's just sitting there.
25:19What a wimp.
25:21Howard Finkel is not a wimp.
25:23What is he?
25:25He's a ring announcer.
25:26He's, he's, he's the fake.
25:28That's who he is.
25:29He's scared and you know it.
25:30Aw, come on.
25:32Can you blame him?
25:32Look at the size of the wimp on him.
25:34Do you remember at WrestleMania 10, Harvey ripping Howard Finkel's tuxedo?
25:37Ooh, that raised his ire.
25:39Oh, look at this, Scott Taylor to the buckle.
25:41And Quang, what a maneuver that was.
25:44Got a cameraman as well, I believe.
25:47Quang is quite a competitor, ladies and gentlemen, no doubt about that.
25:51By the way, a little bit later on, we are gonna be giving notification
25:55from the president's office.
25:57No, not Gerald Ford's or, matter of fact, Clinton.
26:00He's over in Hungary, can't be his office.
26:01But we're gonna be giving you a memo from the president of the World Wrestling
26:05Federation, Jack Tunney, who's gonna have a word on the upcoming, I believe,
26:09WWF tag team situation.
26:12An announcement will be made a little bit later in the Bushwhackers match.
26:16So we are told.
26:17Let's hope for once Jack Tunney can make a correct decision.
26:20And what would that correct decision be, if it were up to you?
26:24I don't know. Hello.
26:25I gave the belts away, I don't care who has them now.
26:27Yeah, right, you can't get along with anyone.
26:29I mean, let's face it.
26:31Big Daddy Cool, the seven-foot Diesel, my.
26:34I mean, he took you to the tag team championship.
26:37There's no doubt about that, John.
26:38You gotta be kidding me.
26:39I made Diesel, are you kidding me?
26:41Look at this.
26:43There's a lat spread for you.
26:45That was a lat spread?
26:46Well, alas.
26:48Through the legs and Scott Taylor.
26:51Missing, and the quang is, boy, is he agile or what?
26:55I'm telling you, that cross body works a lot better when you hit somebody.
26:58I suppose it does.
27:01And quang with a cover on Scott Taylor, and he gets him.
27:04See ya.
27:05Harvey, look at this.
27:08Catfight.
27:10Hey, chill, what is going on?
27:12Hey, I've seen that look on Howard Finkel's face before.
27:15That's almost the same look on the Texas Ranger's face, or someone like that.
27:21Harvey is one intimidating guy, isn't he, V-Man?
27:24I think you don't wanna get Howard Finkel angry, I'll tell you that.
27:27Uh-uh.
27:28You never can tell he may show up on the action zone.
27:30He might just go off.
27:31King of hearts.
27:33Allow me to tell you this, loser.
27:35You're wrestling the king of hearts.
27:38King of pain.
27:40When I'm through with you, Owen, you're gonna be the queen of hearts.
27:44Patriot meets traitor.
27:47I'm after victories.
27:48You're gonna get a royal beating.
27:50Red, white, black, and blue.
27:52I am ready for you.
27:54I'm the excellence of execution.
27:56This week on the WWF Action Zone.
27:59Welcome back, everyone, to our Monday Night Raw.
28:05Vince McMahon here, along with a very comfortable Shawn Michaels.
28:07And we're just about ready to find out just whom this very special guest is
28:11going to be of Jerry The King Lawler.
28:13That's right, and I've heard it straight from the Kingfish.
28:15It's a mystery to me, but this is supposed to be the greatest guest of all time,
28:18ever, on Monday Night Raw.
28:20I'm looking forward to it.
28:21Who is it?
28:21It's Diesel, isn't it?
28:22You better hope it ain't Diesel.
28:24It's Big Daddy Kool-Aid World Wrestling Federation.
28:26We'll throw down in scrap right here if it is.
28:28I got news for you.
28:29Big Daddy D don't want none of the kid.
28:31He don't want none of this.
28:32All right.
28:33But he'll get some.
28:33Yeah.
28:34Yeah.
28:35Let's go up now, ladies and gentlemen, to Jerry The King Lawler.
28:38Mr. King.
28:39Kingfish, anytime.
28:42At least he's not chewing gum like you.
28:44Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
28:46You know it's time for another edition of the King's Court.
28:50Can you stop smacking that gum, please?
28:52And I must say, as I look around, you people have the distinction
28:59of being, without a doubt, the ugliest audience that I have ever had for a King's Court.
29:06He's in the Christmas spirit, huh?
29:08He doesn't mean me.
29:08Look at this girl right here.
29:12You look like you fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
29:17That's not a nice thing.
29:18She has to be an attractive lady.
29:20You should only look at her through a pinhole in a piece of cardboard.
29:23Come on, let's get to it.
29:27Let me ask you this.
29:28When you go out on a date, do you get a good night kiss or
29:30does the guy just shake your paw?
29:33As if to say she's a doll.
29:35No.
29:36I'm gonna do something right now.
29:37I'm gonna bring out a guest who is truly a guiding light.
29:44I can hardly wait.
29:44Guiding light.
29:45I know that to you unemployed morons,
29:49guiding light is probably your favorite soap opera.
29:52Are you excited? I'm excited.
29:53Except for this fat woman right here.
29:55Hers is one life to live.
29:56No, one life to eat.
29:58You gotta admit the king's witty.
30:01He's witty.
30:02Yeah. My guest is truly a guiding light.
30:06He is the brains behind the brawn.
30:09Enough of the suspense.
30:10He is the man who is responsible for
30:15Diesel being the World Wrestling Federation champion.
30:19He is none other than the guiding light, Shawn Michaels.
30:25What?
30:26What?
30:27Me?
30:27I'm speechless.
30:32I'm not really speechless.
30:33Give me a break.
30:42He knew it all along, folks.
30:44We have been had.
30:49Yeah.
30:51Shawn Michaels, a very, very special guest indeed.
30:55There he is.
30:58Too much, too much.
31:01Shawn Michaels, it is truly a pleasure indeed to have you here as a guest on
31:06the Kings Court, and I just want to set the record straight.
31:11I want to tell these people just how responsible you really are,
31:16how you brought that bum Diesel up from the gutter.
31:21How, you know, not only was Shawn responsible for
31:25directing his wrestling career and making him as a champion, but Diesel,
31:29let's face it, he's just stupid.
31:31I mean, remember when he wanted to take all the money that you guys had made and
31:36invested in a tall man's shop in Tokyo, and you had to talk him out of it?
31:41Remember when he bought that Zebra and wanted to name it Spot, huh?
31:45I'm telling you, Diesel thinks Hamburger Helper comes with another person.
31:49But this man right here made a champion out of him.
31:53And tell everybody what an ingrate he turned out to be.
31:57First of all, Kingfish, I couldn't help but to notice as you introduced me,
32:03you mentioned a guiding light.
32:05Right.
32:06A guiding light, you know, I couldn't have said it any better.
32:09Cuz I've got just a couple questions for you and
32:13all the fans of the World Wrestling Federation.
32:16First of which would be,
32:19did you ever hear of Big Daddy Cool before the Heartbreak Kid?
32:25Never, never.
32:28So if I were to come out here and say that I plucked him from obscurity and
32:34made him a household name, would that be fairly correct?
32:39That would be absolutely positively correct.
32:42Now, Big Daddy Cool, let's get one thing perfectly straight.
32:49Do you know who I am?
32:51Yeah.
32:52I'm the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels, Jack.
32:56And nobody disses the HB Kid,
33:01including a seven-foot Diesel.
33:06Because I want you to remember one thing, champ.
33:11The Heartbreak Kid put the cool in Big Daddy.
33:16I put the World Wrestling Federation
33:21Intercontinental Championship belt around your waist.
33:28I put the World Wrestling Federation
33:33Tag Team title belt around your waist.
33:40And as much as you and everybody else in the world
33:46wrestling federation would hate to admit it, but Shawn Michaels,
33:53the Heartbreak Kid, put the World Wrestling Federation title around your waist.
34:03I got news for you, big man.
34:07I'm not out here talking trash, I'm talking facts.
34:12Shawn Michaels single-handedly made Big Daddy Cool
34:17Diesel the World Wrestling Federation Champion.
34:22But as quickly as I made you,
34:27I can and will disassemble you.
34:34Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, show some respect, you morons.
34:38Diesel, Diesel, Diesel, Diesel, Diesel, Diesel, Diesel, Diesel, Diesel, Diesel.
34:41Shawn Michaels and his commentary.
34:42This is exactly what I'm talking about.
34:44If it wasn't for me, these people would have no idea whose name to be yelling.
34:51Big Daddy Cool, the Heartbreak Kid, isn't hard to find, pal.
34:57I'm right down at the end of Lonely Street at the Heartbreak Hotel.
35:03Well, I can tell you this,
35:04that Diesel certainly won't be hard to find.
35:06And if Shawn Michaels put the Cool in Big Daddy, you can bet one day,
35:11Diesel's gonna put the Break in the Heartbreak Kid.
35:14But right now, let's take you, ladies and gentlemen, let's take you to the racetrack.
35:18Let's take you to Pensacola.
35:20Let's take you to the Snowball Derby, and it's Bob Sparkplug Holly in action.
35:25Unfortunately, the derby turned into a demolition derby, and
35:28Bob Holly hit the wall as well.
35:29But nonetheless, he's okay, and he'll return to action next season,
35:33leading the WWF Racing Team.
35:35100 episodes,
35:41100,000
35:47bellyaching
35:53cackles.
36:01That's all?
36:03Mania's turning 100, and you're cordially invited to the celebration.
36:07It'll be like New Year's Eve and Mardi Gras rolled into one.
36:11Outrageous memories, special guest appearances, and a cyclopean surprise.
36:17How about some silly human tricks?
36:19WWF Mania's Centennial Celebration.
36:22I hope they make me a great big cake.
36:24No, chocolate pie.
36:28Indulge yourself with a slice of pie.
36:30This Saturday morning on USA.
36:34I said chocolate pie.
36:36Yeah, he said chocolate pie.
36:41Welcome back, everyone, to our Monday Night Raw.
36:43More action yet to come.
36:45And speaking of yet to come, yes, you can see there the clouds are rolling in,
36:50ladies and gentlemen, because a tremendous WWF superstar hailing from
36:54Japan on his way to the World Wrestling Federation, Hakuji.
36:59It's a tissue.
37:01Pardon?
37:01Tissue.
37:02No, Hakuji.
37:04God bless you.
37:05I see.
37:06Coming to the WWF, ladies and gentlemen, Hakuji.
37:10However, right now- The WWE Tag Team Contest-
37:11Yeah, here we go.
37:12Is scheduled for one fall.
37:14Timothy Wells, Steven Dunn, and Howard Finkel.
37:17Hey, look, there's Harvey Wippleman back in there.
37:20Once again, badgering the Fink.
37:21Before I pull what hair you got left out of your head and
37:25punch you right in your big bug eyes, you ugly little turtle.
37:29That sounds to me like he's calling him out.
37:31Ugly little turtle.
37:33Introduce the greatest tag team in the world, Wrestling Federation.
37:37Look at the size of the neck on Harvey.
37:39And look, Howard's ready to explode.
37:40The Fink is really angry.
37:42You gotta watch him, because sometimes he'll go off.
37:43He'll go off.
37:44He'll make Backlund look like a schoolboy.
37:47He digs him.
37:49Yeah, look at the pants on Harvey.
37:50Harvey Wippleman.
37:53And their manager, handsome Harvey Wippleman.
37:57No, it's handsome Harvey Wippleman now.
37:59Handsome Harvey.
38:00You better hope Heidi Fleiss doesn't turn over that black book.
38:04The stud muffin of the World Wrestling Federation.
38:07Hey, come on.
38:09He's ready to go.
38:10There may be some action here between the Fink.
38:12I told you, see, the Fink is getting his dander up.
38:13He's getting ready to scrap.
38:14Uh-huh, and here we go.
38:16Their opponents, from New Zealand.
38:21The Fink is keeping his cool.
38:24And, oh, it's time to do the Butch Buggers.
38:27Butch, there's Luke, and I'm the Hunky.
38:29And it's not easy to keep your cool when you look like the Fink, that's for sure.
38:34Yay, there you go, Luke and Butch.
38:37A little kiss-a-roo there.
38:39You gotta admit, that Butch is one gutsy cat for kissing that whale.
38:43I beg your pardon?
38:44Oh, she's only one in 350.
38:47Yeah, right about that whale.
38:49They fished her right out of the Delaware Bay.
38:50But don't worry, after poking her with sticks for a little while,
38:54they pushed her back in.
38:55I can't believe it.
38:57Promotional consideration paid for by the following.
39:00WWF Raw is War.
39:10We're back with more WWF action.
39:13Timothy Wells, Steven Dunn, look out, here comes a double clothesline.
39:16But from behind, the Bushwackers bow down, well done.
39:20And see what happened with Butch, that kiss out around ringside from one of
39:24the fabled Rosani sisters, that gives him a sort of extra impetus.
39:29Whoa. Look at this now, and Luke is in there.
39:31Judging by, Steven Dunn, look at that, and Luke is hammered to the outside.
39:36Judging by the dew on Luke there,
39:37it looks like it's free haircut day out at Rikers Island.
39:40It is a rather unusual looking haircut, and, no, no.
39:43Timothy Well taking it to Luke as well.
39:47And Luke whipped right back into the ringside.
39:50This an all-important matchup, ladies and gentlemen.
39:52Tag team action here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
39:55And Jack Conney has given us this bit of information.
39:58The president of the World Wrestling Federation claims that he has ordered,
40:02as a result of a disassemblement, a disillusionment, I guess you would say,
40:07of the former tag team champions.
40:09The gentleman to my right, Shawn Michaels, along with the WWF Champion Diesel.
40:15Since that tag team championship has been set aside,
40:18a tournament now is going to take place to determine just who will be
40:23the next World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions.
40:26And that tournament to be held exclusively on WWF Superstars.
40:31No, look at this.
40:32Hey, come on.
40:34The official distracted on the other side.
40:36And unfortunately, Luke is paying the price.
40:39This coming weekend, this Saturday and Sunday on WWF Superstars,
40:43we will show you all of the teams in the first round bracketing.
40:48And apparently, the finals are gonna take place, the very, my!
40:52The finals, the championship match itself,
40:55will take place at the WWF Royal Rumble on the Sunday night,
41:00of course, January the 22nd, in Tampa, at the Sun Dome.
41:05Are either one of these teams in the tournament?
41:08We won't know until this Saturday.
41:09But right now, if you look at things, the Bushwackers won't be in it.
41:12Not unless they can mount an offense here.
41:14This has been pretty much all well done.
41:18You know, I don't know that well done that well, but
41:19you gotta admit those guys got a lot of nerve wearing those T-backs.
41:22That guy right there looks like he got hit in the derriere with a golf shoe.
41:24Boom!
41:26Down across the back.
41:28Even done, in control.
41:29By the way, mentioning the Royal Rumble tickets for the Royal Rumble.
41:33Everyone all over the world enjoying the WWF pay-per-view extravaganzas.
41:37Tickets are available at the all-ticket master outlet.
41:42At the box office, of course, at the Sun Dome.
41:45Fun in the sun in Tampa, Florida.
41:47Yeah.
41:48I can hardly wait.
41:50Oh, really?
41:50I'm gonna start the beach in my T-back.
41:53Oh, give me a break.
41:54And drive the chicks wild, you know?
41:56Uh-huh, sure.
41:57Tagging in now, Timothy Well.
41:59Well, coming up and, goodness, that's devastating.
42:02Look at this.
42:04I'm impressed with the skills of Well Done.
42:06Very impressed.
42:07You gotta admire the quickness.
42:08Yes, indeed.
42:10And by the way, a little drum roll here, ladies and gentlemen.
42:12It's time to promote an upcoming film here exclusively on USA.
42:17Wait a minute.
42:17One, two, and a three.
42:19Oh, foot's on a rope.
42:21A little drum roll.
42:21And let's see how well Shawn Michaels, the HB kid, reads this.
42:27How big can you be?
42:29Wednesday, Tom Hanks.
42:30Bigger isn't always better.
42:32Director Penny Marshall hosts big USA movie special Wednesday night at 8 o'clock central.
42:38I'm a natural at this stuff, man.
42:41Uh-huh, Tom Hanks and big.
42:43Ooh, my, and again, look at this.
42:45Timothy Well just hammering poor Luke.
42:50Luke is really taking the punishment back on his feet.
42:52Maybe not for long.
42:53Oh, and a kick there to the chest area.
42:55Didn't get too much, but the clothesline takes him down.
42:58A lifetime of haircuts like Luke's got.
43:00You gotta figure he's used to disappointments at this point.
43:03I wouldn't say so.
43:05Luke in books, ladies and gentlemen.
43:08Unquestionably the fan favorites, partisan favorites here on Monday Night Raw.
43:13And Luke trying to make the tag to his partner, Butch, his cousin.
43:17And yes.
43:20Here we go.
43:21It's Butch in there against Steven Dunn.
43:24Butch all fired up.
43:25Butch ready to honky.
43:26Butch off the rope.
43:27Butch with a clothesline.
43:28And Butch with another clothesline.
43:30Yay.
43:33And even though Butch has the teeth of the two.
43:35Uh-oh, wait a minute, look at this.
43:37He's the good looking one, right?
43:39And well done.
43:41Using their heads, or Butch using their heads.
43:44If only he could do that with Harvey Rippleman.
43:45Oh, wait a minute.
43:47Here comes the battering ram.
43:49Finally putting that haircut to good use.
43:51Steven Dunn's partner, Timothy Will, knocked to the outside.
43:55And Dunn is in there by himself.
43:57And a clothesline again.
44:00Butch trying to get something going here for himself for the Bushrockers.
44:05To the rope.
44:06Wait a minute.
44:07Did you see that?
44:08From behind the official's back.
44:09Harvey Rippleman grabs the ankle.
44:11We saw that earlier.
44:12Oh no, a cover.
44:16Oh no.
44:18What an upset this is.
44:19I missed everything.
44:20What happened, McMahon?
44:21Harvey Rippleman blatantly behind the official's back.
44:25Grabbed the ankle of the Bushrocker.
44:28And unfortunately, it's a victory apparently.
44:32What's Finkel doing?
44:33Howard Finkel is telling the official exactly what happened.
44:36Oh, come on.
44:38The official is questioning Harvey Rippleman.
44:40Even though he did not see it, he has every right to question him.
44:43What is Finkel doing sticking his nose in Harvey Rippleman's business?
44:47Well, Harvey has taken a great exception to this.
44:50But Howard Finkel saw what he saw.
44:52And we saw it as well.
44:53Geez, nobody likes a tattletale, Vin Man.
44:55You know that.
44:57Harvey's mad.
44:57Wait a minute.
44:58We're gonna have a row right here.
45:00Finkel's had enough.
45:02Howard Finkel has had enough.
45:05Next week, ladies and gentlemen, one on one, right here on Monday Night Raw,
45:09it's Bob Backlund, the former two-time World Wrestling, Mr. Bob Backlund, if you will.
45:15Squaring up against Doink the Clown.
45:17What about it, Mr. Backlund?
45:18Better let me handle this, McMannigan.
45:21This is gonna be a real axiom.
45:24I've never clowned around in my whole life.
45:28I walked tall, and I'm serious.
45:31When I was a small boy, I didn't like clowns.
45:35And now I'm a grown up man, and I hate clowns.
45:40Yeah.
45:40They don't have a place in our society.
45:44They don't have a place in the WWF.
45:47And we're gonna exterminate you, Doink.
45:52And I'm gonna one day walk tall as the WWF champion.
46:02And I'm gonna represent all of you people and
46:07bring your morality up to the level of God.
46:13And I'm gonna have to destroy the clown to get to that point.
46:19Let's have it Monday night.
46:22Right here next week, Doink the Clown and Bob Backlund on Monday Night Raw.
