00:00We are live from Macon, Georgia.
00:06Macon, Georgia, the home of Rock and Roll's Otis Redding.
00:10Otis, my man, Little Richard, as well as the Allman Brothers Band.
00:16But tonight, Macon, Georgia is the home of Monday Night Raw.
00:22And tonight, the WWF Champion Diesel defends the World Wrestling Federation
00:27title against the champion of his own right, the Intercontinental Title Holder Double J,
00:32Jeff Jarrett.
00:33Tonight is where we'll find out just whom Shawn Michaels has selected as his bodyguard
00:38in the King's Court.
00:39And tonight, back in action after a 30-day suspension, it's Bam, Bam, Bigelow.
00:45However, let's take you now to pre-recorded comments.
00:48First, made by the challenger, followed by the champion, Diesel.
00:52Let's take you to the pre-recorded comments.
00:55Tonight is the night.
00:56Champion against champion, the Intercontinental Champion, Double J, Jeff Jarrett,
01:00takes on you, Big Daddy Cool, the World Wrestling Federation Champion.
01:03And after I slap the figure four on you, yeah, the roadie's got an extra shoulder,
01:08and that gold belt's going on it tonight.
01:10Everybody's heard of MTV Unplugged.
01:15Tonight, the World Wrestling Federation goes unplugged.
01:18That's right, Double J, when I knock your lights out.
01:22Bam, Bam.
01:25And here we go ladies and gentlemen, bam, bam, Bigelow.
01:30BAM, BAM.
01:48And here we go, ladies and gentlemen, BAM, BAM, Bigelow.
01:52Walking down the money trail behind him, Ted DiBiase, the Million Dollar Man.
01:55Everyone remembers what BAM, BAM, Bigelow did at the Royal Rumble.
01:59Shoving Lawrence Taylor on the concrete floor.
02:02We expected BAM, BAM to apologize, but no, he did not.
02:05Let's take you back down.
02:06And here are some of the comments, ladies and gentlemen,
02:09made by a number of individuals involved in this incident.
02:13Let me make it very clear.
02:15Mr. Taylor does not wish to be a professional wrestler.
02:19However, if BAM, BAM, Bigelow continues to denigrate the good name of Lawrence
02:24Taylor by these insidious challenges, we'll have no alternative but
02:28to seek legal remedy.
02:30You are a wimp.
02:31You won't get in the ring with BAM, BAM, Bigelow.
02:33You won't put everything aside, prove yourself as an individual,
02:37one-on-one, lose the pants, lose the helmets, step in the ring, and
02:42welcome to the valley of the real giant.
02:46I feel, along with other members of Mr. Taylor's management team,
02:50that the World Wrestling Federation itself, separate from Mr. Bigelow, and
02:55for its own purposes, has been perpetuating this idea of a proposed match
03:00between Lawrence Taylor and Mr. Bigelow.
03:03I am demanding a cease and desist of these activities from both parties,
03:07Mr. Bigelow and the World Wrestling Federation.
03:12All right, ladies and gentlemen, there you have it.
03:14As BAM, BAM reaches for the rope once again, BAM, BAM scoring off against
03:17Gary Ceba.
03:19And unquestionably, BAM, BAM, Bigelow's challenges, at least thus far,
03:22have fallen on deaf ears.
03:24Joining us at ringside, ladies and gentlemen,
03:26no stranger to the microphone indeed, Mr. James E. Cornette.
03:30Yeah, yeah, and I know there's gonna be some trouble tonight.
03:34I can feel it, I can smell it, I have it in my bones,
03:36there's gonna be some kind of trouble tonight.
03:39I don't know whether it's gonna be Lawrence Taylor, BAM, BAM, Bigelow,
03:42Diesel, Double J, but somebody's gonna cause a stir tonight, and
03:44I'm gonna try to stir it up a little bit myself.
03:46Listen, listen to this, LT and a takedown by Gary Ceba.
03:50Ceba, two-time AAU Champion, ladies and gentlemen, from the state of Michigan, and
03:54now working on the rest of BAM, BAM, Bigelow.
03:56And I'll tell you what, he's also the World Spaghetti Eating Champion,
03:59a pound of spaghetti in less than 30 seconds without using his hands.
04:03Gary Ceba, he did it.
04:05I was there, I saw it.
04:07Gary Ceba against BAM, BAM, and right now,
04:09Ceba is not thinking about eating spaghetti, that's for sure.
04:12Off the rope, underneath, yes, from the far side now, Ceba.
04:15Yeah, here we go, Ceba, the big man.
04:17And what agility on the part of BAM, BAM, Bigelow.
04:20You've got to realize, you've got to realize, Mr.
04:23McMahon, that he has been thinking about this Lawrence Taylor thing.
04:26He was embarrassed, he was humiliated.
04:28Lawrence Taylor goaded him into the incident.
04:30Lawrence Taylor laughed in his face.
04:32A guy like BAM, BAM from a neighborhood like he's from in Asbury Park,
04:35you don't laugh at a man, that's the worst kind of slap in the face.
04:38Where he's from, the muggers don't shoot you, they insert the bullets manually.
04:42He couldn't let a man laugh at him and get away with it.
04:44BAM, BAM, Bigelow hammering away.
04:46And again, we hear the LT chat from this crowd here in Macon, Georgia.
04:49They don't even have a professional football team here in Macon.
04:53Why are they such big football fans?
04:55I don't care if Lawrence Taylor's gonna be in the Hall of Fame.
04:58He still can't laugh at a man's face,
05:00especially when that man is 400 pounds like BAM, BAM, Bigelow.
05:03I'm sure Lawrence Taylor would take nothing away from the extraordinary
05:07physical skills of BAM, BAM, Bigelow.
05:08Well, he did, I was there, I saw it.
05:10After the Royal Rumble, he laughed at the man, laughed in his face.
05:13Stuck out his hand.
05:14Wait a minute, look at this.
05:15And there's a foot in the midsection.
05:16Say Ball moving back in now.
05:18Say Ball hammering, and a rake in the face.
05:20BAM, BAM, Bigelow back in control.
05:22Say Ball is not gonna do anything that BAM, BAM, Bigelow doesn't want him to do.
05:25Because I see BAM, BAM, Bigelow.
05:27He's seeing Lawrence Taylor's face with that big grin spread across it.
05:31With those teeth showing, with everything saying, hey, BAM, BAM.
05:34I show you no respect.
05:35That's what happened at the Royal Rumble.
05:36I saw it, I was there.
05:37Then he wanted to shake hands afterwards.
05:39Yeah, after he'd already slapped the man.
05:41Then he said, sure, I'll shake your hand.
05:43And thus far, I think you would concur,
05:45we do not see a great deal of ring rough at all on BAM, BAM, Bigelow.
05:51You know, a lot of people thought that BAM, BAM, Bigelow just-
05:54Wait a minute, gonna buckle.
05:55Say Ball moving in, and no, he's a little slow on the mark there.
05:57Some ring roughs for you.
05:59Say Ball hammering away in the forehand.
06:01Look at this.
06:02Say Ball coming off the rope now, a clothesline.
06:06Say Ball will try it again and- Yeah, there you go.
06:08By BAM, BAM, Bigelow.
06:09And again, the big 400 pounder showing extraordinary agility.
06:13A lot of people thought Bigelow was gonna- But he was on a 30 day suspension
06:17without pay, and he's gotta take that frustration out on somebody.
06:20Meanwhile, Lawrence Taylor's out playing golf with Bob Hope.
06:24Non-contact sport.
06:25Bigelow's in there, he's bashing some- A 400 pound torpedo.
06:31And an easy victory for BAM, BAM, Bigelow.
06:34BAM, BAM, Bigelow.
06:35And there you see it, LT rules in the background.
06:38BAM, BAM, Bigelow.
06:39He could very well, if a match- It's lucky his name is LT, or
06:43else these people wouldn't be able to spell it.
06:46BAM, BAM, Bigelow.
06:47We'll be back, ladies and gentlemen.
06:49Let's stay with this.
06:51I hope you're out there, and I hope you're listening.
06:55You've been hiding behind your manager.
06:58You've been hiding behind your lawyer.
07:01All you've been doing is hiding.
07:05I said it once, and I'll say it again.
07:10You're a punk, Lawrence Taylor.
07:12Yeah, you're a wimp, and I'll take you on any time, any place.
07:19McMahon, there's gonna be a lawsuit out of this one.
07:21I can smell it.
07:22I can smell a lawsuit.
07:23They're calling lawyers now.
07:25Hey, maybe I can get Colin Ferguson to defend the WWF.
07:28Great, terrific.
07:30Great, thank you very much.
07:31We'll be back as we continue, ladies and gentlemen.
07:34The WWF Championship will be up for grabs.
07:38Hey, women.
07:39We are live, ladies and gentlemen, from Macon, Georgia.
07:45The Macon Coliseum is still to come.
07:47World Wrestling Federation champion, Diesel,
07:50defending the title against the champion in his own right, Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
07:55Uh-oh, what's that?
07:58Ho, ho, ho.
07:59This contest is still- Here comes the leader of the Bomb Squad.
08:03From Three Mile Island, weighing 292 and a half pounds,
08:09the creation of devastation, Adam Bomb.
08:14Creation of devastation.
08:16This guy's got a pretty high opinion of himself.
08:20The creation of devastation, Adam Bomb.
08:24Adam Bomb against Rip Rodgers.
08:26And Rip Rodgers, as everybody in the country knows,
08:29is the number one citizen of Seymour, Indiana.
08:32No, no, no, no, no, I think that might be John Cougar Mellencamp, right?
08:35No, hey, Mellencamp, he comes over to Rip's house all the time.
08:39He would put his feet up on the coffee table.
08:41He drinks everything in the fridge.
08:43He eats the popcorn he leaves.
08:44But everybody knows it's him, Rip's the man.
08:48Baby, Macon Coliseum is rocking.
08:51There's gotta be some kind of fire marshal law against that.
08:56Adam Bomb against Rip Rodgers.
09:00I said shut up out there.
09:03And perhaps now might be a good time before we start this matchup.
09:07Wait a minute, look at Rodgers, still hasn't taken his jacket off yet.
09:09That wasn't fair.
09:12Perhaps some speculation on your part, Jim Cornett, as to just whom
09:16Shawn Michaels is gonna select as a bodyguard.
09:19I don't know.
09:19It's gonna have to be somebody pretty big, pretty rough, and pretty tough.
09:22Because after all, he's replacing Diesel, who was brought to the WWF,
09:26as Shawn Michaels' bodyguard.
09:28Everybody knows that went south.
09:30The relationship is strained.
09:32Nice maneuver there on the part of Adam Bomb.
09:35And Rip Rodgers feeling what it takes to hit the mat.
09:39But don't worry, Rip's gonna mount some outfits.
09:41When I say that relationship was strained between Shawn and Diesel,
09:45I don't mean for anybody to think it was Shawn's fault.
09:47Diesel was an ingrate, turned his back on Shawn after all he'd done for him.
09:51He's done right.
09:52That's what I believe.
09:52I see.
09:53I'm waiting with bated breath.
09:55You've wondered what the stink was to see who the bodyguard is gonna be tonight
09:59when Shawn Michaels unveils him later on in the program.
10:02You know, it's a great day.
10:03It's President's Day.
10:04I don't know why in the world they name a holiday after Jack Tunney.
10:07Off the rope now, Rip Rodgers, over Adam Bomb.
10:09Nicely blocked by the bomb, over the hip, nicely done.
10:14Adam Bomb really coming into his own as of late here in the WWF.
10:18Yeah, you know this Adam Bomb, he's 6'7".
10:20He's 292 pounds.
10:22He's got youth.
10:22He's got potential.
10:23He's got strength.
10:24He's a great athlete, but what he needs is guidance.
10:27He spends all his time listening to the fans, signing autographs,
10:31listening to the cheers, drum kicks, kick, kick, kick, kick, what he ought to be.
10:34Rodgers jumped out.
10:35He wasn't knocked out.
10:36He jumped out of the ring just to get away from Adam Bomb.
10:39Well, wouldn't you?
10:40I mean, after all, he's a smart man.
10:42Wait a minute.
10:42Adam Bomb, look at this.
10:43What's he doing?
10:45High risk maneuver on the part of Adam Bomb.
10:48Taking two Rodgers on the outside.
10:49He didn't want him to get away again.
10:51When you've got a guy that can do something like that at 6'7", and 292,
10:55you know he's a tremendous athlete.
10:57But he has got to start putting his career first, just like Sterling Marlin.
11:02He won his second straight Daytona 500, knocked Dale Earnhardt out.
11:06He was, Dale Earnhardt finished second because he was listening to those
11:10cheers from the crowd, just like Adam Bomb.
11:12Sterling Marlin went straight ahead, and he won it two years in a row.
11:15Off the rope now, back button, uh-oh, uh-oh, Adam Bomb.
11:19Adam Bomb pointing Rodgers, a block, and a hard right hand by Bomb.
11:22Right in the ear.
11:23Adam Bomb, another hard right hand.
11:25Right in the ear again.
11:27And Adam Bomb now, powering Rip Rodgers.
11:32Last time I checked, that wasn't legal.
11:34Just bear with me.
11:35I see. Was that legal?
11:36I don't believe so, no.
11:37And a back body combo, that was.
11:42Adam Bomb is quite the aggressor.
11:45Yeah, but you see, he's hot-dogging again.
11:47He's listening to people.
11:48I would be up here telling him, hey, listen to your manager and do what he tells you.
11:52Your manager?
11:52Yeah, if I was his manager, I don't want to be.
11:56But with all that potential he's got,
11:58he needs somebody to shake that mound of play into a beautiful buzz.
12:03Is that right?
12:04Yeah, that's right.
12:05If you were a manager, would you manage a replacement?
12:09What do you mean if I was a manager?
12:11What do you think I've been doing the past 12 years?
12:13Right, sometimes- Slicing meat down at the butcher shop?
12:16Lina's on the top rope, Adam Bomb!
12:19With a clothesline, that could do it, a cover.
12:22Yes, it did.
12:22And a bomb.
12:25Here's your winner, Adam Bomb!
12:27Down in droves here tonight in Lincoln, New Georgia.
12:31Well, there's no joy in Seymour tonight, I'll tell you that.
12:35Rip Rogers don't want to see no more of Adam Bomb.
12:38Back to the replay, take a look at that.
12:40What a clothesline.
12:41Ooh, my.
12:42Stand by, everybody, because when we return,
12:47we're gonna show you a special award to the people from the WWF Magazine.
12:53And it involves no less than the one and the only, the Hitman, Bret Hart.
12:58Promotional consideration paid for by the following.
13:02There are two kinds of snacks.
13:04One's for wimps and punks, and the other's for me.
13:08You need a little excitement?
13:10Snap into it, Slim Jim.
13:13Welcome back, everyone, to more Monday Night Raw.
13:15We're looking at a very special award ceremony that took place over this
13:19past weekend, known as the 1994 WWF Magazine Award of the People.
13:25Now, this honor was presented to the superstar who best epitomizes the new
13:30World Wrestling Federation generation.
13:32More than 100,000 readers of the WWF Magazine overwhelmingly voted for
13:38former two-time everything champion, the Hitman Bret Hart.
13:42And there is publisher Bob Mitchell, along with a very lucky fan,
13:46Miss Amy Stewart, on hand to bestow this honor to this future Hall of Famer.
13:51And I think every wrestler reaches a point
13:58where his memories become more important than his dreams.
14:03And the fact is, my memories are great, but
14:08my dream is still to become the World Wrestling Federation champion for
14:12the third time, and to show all my fans everywhere around the world,
14:18especially the ones that have voted for me like you, Amy, that I will never give up.
14:24I promise to give 100% always and
14:28to live up to the reputation of the best there is, the best there was, and
14:33the best there ever will be.
14:35I thank you very much.
14:37All right, ladies and gentlemen,
14:41we have returned to the Making Coliseum.
14:47Yes, indeed, and the King, Jerry Lawler, on his way to the Kings Court.
14:53We're gonna find out just who Shawn Michaels is gonna select as a bodyguard.
14:58Any speculation?
14:59I have no idea, but I'm waiting, like I said, I'm so excited.
15:04I don't know who it could be, but we're gonna find out next.
15:08Welcome back, everyone.
15:09Jerry, the King Lawler, in the King's Court.
15:12Well, it's time for the King's Court.
15:15But before I bring my very special guest, the Heartbreak Kid, out here,
15:19I would be remiss in my duties as a king if I didn't make a comment
15:25on this award that that bacon-breath, hockey-fetish Canadian,
15:31Bret the Hitman Heart, just received.
15:34Now, I'm gonna tell you, I can assure you that if over 100,000 readers were polled,
15:43they, the editors of the WWF magazine, had to exclude all of the Japanese readers.
15:51Because if they had included their votes,
15:53Bret the Hitman Heart would have never won any award.
15:56Because Bret the Hitman Heart should apologize.
16:02He holds all the Japanese people an apology for
16:05the slanted remarks that he's been making.
16:08I don't owe you an apology, Bret Heart, because I'm telling the truth when I
16:12tell the whole world that you, Hitman, are a racist.
16:17You understand what I'm saying?
16:18And here comes Shawn Michaels versus Bodyguard.
16:23Accusations and unfounded accusations on the part of Jerry Lawler.
16:27And here comes Shawn Michaels versus Bodyguard.
16:31Well, maybe he's gonna give him a grand entrance.
16:33Maybe he's got his own theme music or something, I don't know.
16:37I'm just, hold on, Vince, don't interrupt me.
16:40I'm trying to sit and get a good look and hold these binoculars up where I can see
16:44this new Bodyguard just as up close before anybody else gets a shot.
16:48Michaels claims he's a marked man.
16:51He's got women everywhere, autographs, everybody.
16:55The future World Wrestling Federation Champion, the Heartbreak Kid.
17:02On his way to WrestleMania.
17:05Khan, I am so excited about the fact that you're my guest on the King's Court
17:10tonight because you're gonna share some very exciting news with the world.
17:17That's right, the headliner of the World Wrestling Federation is about to
17:22blow the lid off the World Wrestling Federation itself.
17:27But as I've been saying for weeks, King Fish,
17:32ever since the Heartbreak Kid won the 1995 Royal Rumble,
17:39I have been a marked man.
17:40And as I make my way to WrestleMania to become the new
17:45World Wrestling Federation Champion, let's face it,
17:50it's gonna get even worse for the Heartbreak Kid.
17:55I mean, take a look at me for God's sake.
17:59Please.
18:00Well, take a look.
18:02You can't look like this.
18:04All right, who's it gonna be?
18:05Come on, please.
18:06You can't talk like this.
18:07And you can't be given the natural God-given ability that the Heartbreak Kid
18:13has got and not be the envy of every superstar in the World Wrestling Federation.
18:20I mean, I can beat any superstar in the World Wrestling Federation.
18:25I mean, I can beat any superstar in the World Wrestling Federation.
18:31I mean, I can beat any superstar in the World Wrestling Federation one-on-one.
18:39But even the Heartbreak Kid can't beat everybody in the World Wrestling Federation.
18:47I mean, yeah, exactly.
18:48I mean, not all at the same time anyway.
18:51And it is for that reason that I have found it necessary
18:57to have a man to watch my back.
19:02The suspense continues to build.
19:04And that is exactly what I have done.
19:07I have talked about it for weeks.
19:09And tonight, folks, is the night.
19:12Ladies and gentlemen, the new bodyguard of the Heartbreak Kid,
19:20The Big, The Bad, The Vicious, Zigg.
19:26What?
19:27Oh, yeah.
19:29Zigg?
19:30Whoa.
19:31Oh.
19:33Unbelievable.
19:35It is him.
19:36I can't believe it.
19:38I can't believe it.
19:40I don't even think he talks to anybody.
19:41I didn't think anybody talked to him.
19:43This guy's a psycho.
19:44He's a nut.
19:45He's a lunatic.
19:47Nobody wants him around.
19:48Take a look at this monster.
19:55You didn't tell me he was going to be here.
19:57I don't even want to be at ringside.
19:59What has Shawn Michaels done?
20:02He's cracked up, I think.
20:09Kingfish, if seeing is believing,
20:15the eyes of every superstar in the World Wrestling Federation
20:20are popping out of their skulls.
20:23Tell them, big man.
20:25See, I met millions of people around the world
20:30who are asking the question, Shawn Michaels, why?
20:35Why take your chance on another bodyguard
20:39when Diesel turned his back on you
20:43when times got tough?
20:47See, I'll tell you why.
20:51That he could trust me.
20:53We sat down.
20:54We had a talk.
20:56And then the man realized, like that, that one, that said,
21:03you are a man that has no feelings,
21:06no remorse for any living soul.
21:15But second of all, most important,
21:20that I will be by his side at all times.
21:26Yes, at all times.
21:28When the times are good.
21:31Oh, yeah.
21:32And when the times are bad.
21:35But my promise to him is simple.
21:39There will be no bad times.
21:43And how can I sit here and I say this with a simple,
21:48together, the Heartbreak Kid and myself,
21:53we will rule the world.
22:00Why?
22:01Look at this.
22:02Because I am the man they call Sid.
22:09Oh, yeah.
22:10You heard it.
22:12We'll be back, ladies and gentlemen.
22:17We'll be back.
22:18It's scheduled, ladies and gentlemen, the title match.
22:23Welcome back, everyone, to more Monday Night Raw.
22:26And here come Jacob and Eli Blue,
22:29along with their manager, Uncle Zebakiah.
22:33Oh, yeah.
22:34These two guys, look.
22:35They're scared of all this high-tech stuff.
22:37You know, Uncle Zebakiah, he's been to town once or twice.
22:40But these guys, they're from way back in the hills.
22:42By the way, the WWF Superstar line, ladies and gentlemen,
22:45available right now.
22:46The number 1-900-737 for WWF.
22:51It's open seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
22:53Remember, it's $1.49 for each minute.
22:57And you must be 18 years old or have your parents' permission
23:00before calling in.
23:01Tonight, you can hear about the one and only-
23:03Wait, look at this.
23:04Wex Luger.
23:05Luger's talking about spending Super Bowl weekend
23:07with Michael Jordan and Emmitt Smith.
23:13However, it looks like the opponents of Eli and Jacob,
23:17Mark Starr and Leroy Howard,
23:18may be spending a little time in the locker room real soon,
23:21if this keeps up.
23:22I think this guy may be spending some time in a hospital.
23:24You know, the smoking guns have to be on the lookout.
23:26They're the tag team champions.
23:28These guys are coming after them.
23:29The Head Shrinkers.
23:30The Head Shrinkers are maybe just as barbaric as these guys are,
23:33except they're from an island, whereas they're from the hills.
23:36I see.
23:37Jacob and Eli Blue, how do you tell them apart?
23:40Who's that in the ring right now?
23:41Now, you've had some experience with these men.
23:43Yes, yes.
23:44Jacob, that's him because he's the tall one.
23:46What?
23:47He's the tall one, Jacob, in there right now.
23:49Jacob?
23:50Yes.
23:51On which side is Jacob?
23:52He's on the right side.
23:53Oh, my goodness.
23:54Of course, what now?
23:55Do you mean your right, or my right, or their right, or Leroy's right?
23:59Whichever one, yeah.
24:00Jacob and Eli Blue.
24:01Hard to tell them apart as twins, ladies and gentlemen,
24:03against Leroy Howard and Mark Starr.
24:06Well, I'll tell you what.
24:07Excuse me, wait a minute.
24:08Todd Pentgel, you there?
24:09Ladies and gentlemen, standing by.
24:11Todd Pentgel back in the WWF studios.
24:14Apparently, Todd has some sort of important news.
24:16If you don't mind, I'd like to listen to somebody else for a change.
24:19Oh, go ahead.
24:20You're going to interrupt me anyway.
24:21Todd, how you doing, pal?
24:22What's happening?
24:23Well, Vince, let me tell you what's so important.
24:24Ever since Bam Bam made his comments, again, goading and baiting Lawrence Taylor,
24:29we said, why don't we try to get LT on the phone?
24:31So we've been working on that ever since.
24:33Just seconds ago, we got off the phone with Lawrence Taylor's people.
24:37Guess what?
24:38What?
24:39LT, Lawrence Taylor himself, will be here next week on Monday Night Raw.
24:43All right.
24:44Thank you very much.
24:45Lawrence Taylor himself, yes, to respond to the challenge of Bam Bam Bigelow.
24:50He will be here himself.
24:51Is this amazing?
24:52All right.
24:53Thank you very much, Todd.
24:54Pentgel, ladies and gentlemen.
24:55Well, there you go.
24:56Hey, he better come with his tail between his legs, ready to apologize.
24:59I think Bam Bam's going to get even more mad than he is now.
25:01Look at these guys.
25:02You know, they're from the Appalachians.
25:04They're way back in the hills.
25:05That's right next to the Smoky Mountains.
25:07Of course, my palatial estate there.
25:09I'm a little more uptown than they are.
25:10But these guys, they don't see daylight very often.
25:13When they do, they like to take advantage of their surroundings by beating some
25:16people up.
25:17Look at this guy.
25:18Jacob and Eli, ladies and gentlemen, continuing to pummel Mark Starr in the ring
25:23right now.
25:24And Mark Starr, he's in more trouble with Ron Brown.
25:26You know, the Commerce Secretary?
25:28He's in trouble with the Justice Department.
25:30They won't leave anybody alone, will they?
25:32Michael, they're going to investigate shoplifting next.
25:35Oh, my goodness.
25:36Down to the canvas.
25:37And Jacob or Eli taxes a twin featherweight.
25:41Yeah, you're right.
25:42And Jacob or Eli, one of the two in now, again.
25:45Yeah, you're correct.
25:46You've got it now, Bam.
25:47You're right.
25:48The tall one.
25:51Two big mountain men.
25:53We're talking monstrous mountain men here.
25:55Making quite an impact here in the World Wrestling Federation thus far.
25:59Can you imagine what those smoking guns are going to be up against when they get
26:02in the ring with these guys?
26:03Can you imagine the Hedge Shrinkers have finally found a team that's even meaner,
26:07even more barbaric, and more insane than they are?
26:10These guys don't eat raw fish, but they may snatch a deer out of the woods or
26:13a rabbit out of its hole and bite it.
26:15All right.
26:16I don't think we need to hear that.
26:18Well, they do that kind of stuff up in the mountains.
26:19You would know.
26:20Hey.
26:21So you think you're uptown.
26:23Smoky Mountain is compared to the Appalachian.
26:25That's right.
26:26In the Smoky Mountains, we cook things.
26:27We do.
26:28Yeah.
26:29They don't.
26:30They just eat it raw up there.
26:31Yeah, well, we're cooking here today.
26:32Big slam by either Jacob or Eli.
26:34We're going to have to find out some way to tell these two apart.
26:36Oh, look at that.
26:38You're correct.
26:39That's either Jacob or Eli.
26:40Look at Uncle Sebakiah.
26:41You know, this guy, he is the master of the team.
26:43He's the leader.
26:44You can tell that he's the smart one.
26:45You can look at his eyes and see that.
26:46You can?
26:47How's that?
26:48Well, look at his eyes and look at the other two guys.
26:49Look at this.
26:50The other two guys look like a model home.
26:51The lights are on, but nobody's home.
26:52And a star trying to get out in a row.
26:53Come on.
26:54Come on.
26:55Come on.
26:56Come on.
26:57All right.
26:58Come on.
26:59Boy, what about the situation with Shawn Michaels' bodyguard?
27:00I can't believe Sid.
27:01I didn't know that anybody would speak to this guy.
27:02The whole city's in trouble.
27:03And he's around.
27:06You can guarantee that.
27:07And Star continued to have problems.
27:08Forget about it.
27:09Don't you see that?
27:10Two.
27:11Make it three.
27:12The whole city's in trouble.
27:13Off the rope, and- When he's around, you can guarantee that.
27:18And Stark continuing to have problems, forget about it.
27:22The Jiu Jitsu, two, make it three.
27:25Here is the team of Jacob and Eli Blue.
27:33Well, there you go, they're still undefeated.
27:38Is that Jacob or is that Eli?
27:39You're correct, it is.
27:41Yeah, there's Jacob and there's Eli.
27:44ZZ Top lives at the WWF.
27:47Jacob and Eli, there's the back, look at this.
27:49I don't think they've ever seen a camera like that, either that or
27:52else we'll ask the camera woman, maybe?
27:55Is it camera woman?
27:56All right, ladies and gentlemen, stand by because scheduled momentarily,
28:00we're gonna take you back to recent footage involving the NBA Jam and
28:04you weren't there.
28:05Come on, I don't have my time to mess with the NBA Jam stuff.
28:08I don't do the slam dunk stuff, all that stuff.
28:11All I know is, I know who was there.
28:13The guy that's fixing to lose the title, Diesel, he was there.
28:16Hats off to NBA Commissioner David Stern and all the all stars.
28:20Ladies and gentlemen, an incredible NBA Jam recently.
28:24And who's going for the three points?
28:26You got it, nothing but neck.
28:28Big Daddy Cool Diesel out there to sign autographs.
28:31And boy, did he have a great time indeed.
28:33A good time was had by all.
28:35Slam dunk competition, Conan O'Brien out there with Big Daddy Cool.
28:40And was that the winner or not?
28:42There are some winners, salt and pepper, Grammy nominees.
28:45And of course, there's some more winners.
28:46We got Jennifer Vannoy of Blossom, Tatiana Ali of Fresh Prince.
28:51All-star outfielder of the Atlanta Braves, David Justice.
28:55And speaking of baseball,
28:56let's take you to the Iron Man who showed up for the slam dunk competition.
28:59Cal Ripken Jr., the Baltimore Orioles.
29:02And Danny Manning, NBA All-Star Phoenix Suns.
29:05And who's in the neighborhood?
29:06That's Mr. Robinson's neighborhood.
29:08David Robinson, that is, of the San Antonio Spurs.
29:11This contest is for
29:15the World Wrestling Federation Championship.
29:22And choosing first, the challenger,
29:24World Wrestling Federation's Intercontinental Champion from Music City, USA.
29:29Weighing 240 pounds- All right, take a look at this.
29:32I can feel it, Vince, I can feel it in my bones.
29:36It's kismet, it's karma.
29:39It's fate, it's destiny.
29:40Jeff Jarrett in a city like Macon, Georgia.
29:42Noted for The Elements, noted for Otis Redding, noted for Little Richard.
29:46This man is the number one star in country music today, and
29:50it's only fitting that it be here that he win the crown jewel of
29:54the World Wrestling Federation, the title.
29:57Yes, but you're talking country music as compared to rock and roll.
30:01Hey, music- Music, music, music.
30:03All I know is, Double J, it's his time and it's his place.
30:07It was meant to be.
30:09We're gonna find out if indeed it's meant to be, ladies and gentlemen.
30:12Double J, Jeff Jarrett, against the seven-foot WWF Champion Diesel.
30:18The title's on the line when we return.
30:23Welcome back, everyone.
30:24Yes, we are live.
30:25And Double J, Jeff Jarrett is hopeful of soon becoming the World Wrestling
30:28Federation Champion.
30:30And it's time to start your engines indeed.
30:33All right.
30:39I can't hear anything McMahon, listen, these people are going out of their minds.
30:43Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
30:52Big Daddy Cool Diesel thus far, the leader of the new WWF generation.
30:59And look at the size of that guy, but Double J is ready.
31:03He's got his strategy down, this is gonna be the match of his life.
31:06And it's gonna have to be if he's gonna take that title away from Big Daddy Cool.
31:11Tremendous ovation for Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
31:15Stepping over the top rope with nothing but business on his mind.
31:21Double J's got a game plan and he- Yeah, baby.
31:27That scared the roadie to death.
31:30You see that man standing in the ring?
31:31He's almost seven feet tall, 317 pounds.
31:35Double J has a game plan.
31:37He's a smaller man.
31:38He's gonna have to neutralize the size advantage.
31:40Maybe go for the legs.
31:42Because you realize, McMahon, what is Double J's favorite finishing maneuver?
31:47Yes, the figure four leg lock.
31:48The figure four leg lock.
31:50And he does it better than any WWF superstar since Nature Boy Buddy Rogers himself.
31:55So he's gonna have to take Diesel down, keep him on the ground,
31:59hurt the legs, and neutralize the size advantage.
32:02Look out, here he comes.
32:03And Big Daddy Cool ready for it.
32:04And he ain't gonna do it that way.
32:06Diesel hammering away on Double J as he's in the corner.
32:10Diesel taking it to Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
32:12Winds him up now to the near side and- Get him back.
32:17Diesel has come to Macon, Georgia to impress these fans.
32:21Look at this.
32:24Vince, if it's a short match, then the advantage is gonna be Diesel.
32:28From the top to the outside, yeah.
32:31Double J has got to do something to make this match go a while.
32:35Because in a long match, the smaller man is the favorite.
32:38He's carrying less body weight.
32:40He's got to have better stamina.
32:42If Diesel keeps this pace up, Double J is cooked.
32:46And yes, he also must keep his mind.
32:48Diesel is on that man, the roadie.
32:51The roadie instrumental in costing Razor Ramon the Intercontinental title at
32:54the Royal Rumble.
32:55Well, that's your story.
32:56I think it was Ramon's weak knee that did the trick.
32:59On the rope, underneath, on the floor.
33:01Yeah, and Double J hanging on, doing his familiar strut.
33:05Wait a minute, look around you, Double J.
33:07Yeah, now he can look up and back down.
33:12Double J has to keep cooking and he's got to keep moving, but he can't hot dog.
33:16He's got to keep running this guy.
33:18He's the smaller man, he's got to have the better stamina, but
33:21he's got to keep away from Diesel's strength and power.
33:25And Diesel pouring it on, and the one thing Big Daddy Cool knows how to do, and
33:29that's run over people.
33:31And look at this, that's what everybody, Double J.
33:34Double J to the midsection, driving the shoulder to the midsection of Diesel.
33:38Now that's what he's got to do, he's got to deprive him of that oxygen.
33:43He's got to keep Diesel from getting his breath.
33:47And Diesel puts on the brakes.
33:48And Double J, Jeff Jarrett now for the run.
33:51What's he, a shot putter now?
33:56Uh-oh.
33:56This is bad news for Double J.
33:58No, Double J sliding off the back, look at this.
34:03And now hammering away on Diesel.
34:06And now going upstairs, Double J and Jeff Jarrett hammering away.
34:11Come on, ref, get in there.
34:13Come on, look, the referee's pulling a man's hair, everybody's aghast.
34:16Look at that, a clothesline miss.
34:18And the roadie, the roadie took a buckle.
34:20And Double J goes up on the top to the outside.
34:25And Diesel has clean house here.
34:31First fire in Macon, Georgia on Monday Night Raw.
34:35I've never seen anything like it in my life.
34:38Diesel has got to slow down.
34:41No, nothing can slow this man down.
34:44He's not gonna be able to keep that pace up, I don't think he's gonna have to,
34:48because if he keeps going like that, Double J, how about a hospital?
34:51And left handed, there he goes.
34:53And Double J looking a bit ragtag now, ladies and gentlemen.
34:56He's calling time out.
34:57Yeah, right.
34:59You know, I've got money riding on this.
35:01I've got an interest in this outcome.
35:02And Double J, ladies and gentlemen.
35:04I got a $50 bet with my secretary, Miss Quignowski.
35:09She likes Diesel, I like Jarrett.
35:12There's something there to be said.
35:14I'd hate to lose $40.
35:14Wait a minute, wait a minute, look at this.
35:16And hanging on the one arm there.
35:18We've got the roadie on one arm, and Diesel on the other.
35:22What are they trying to do?
35:24I think they're trying to kill him, that idiot roadie, what's he doing?
35:27Look at this.
35:27And again, the official physically getting involved in this match,
35:33which under normal circumstances is a no-no.
35:37I can't believe this.
35:41Double J has to get his strategy back together.
35:44We'll be back, ladies and gentlemen.
35:45Please stay with us for this matchup to come.
35:50We're live, ladies and gentlemen.
35:52Makin' Georgia the WWF Championship.
35:54Still up for grabs.
35:54Look out for the hook.
35:56Over the top to the outside.
35:59Beautiful, beautiful.
36:00I knew that Double J, sooner or later, would get back on track with his game plan.
36:03Wait a minute, the roadie, the roadies.
36:05What's he doing now?
36:07A clothesline.
36:08The roadie again, instrumental, the roadie instrumental.
36:11And taking the knee out from Reyes Ramon at the Royal Rumble.
36:14Instrumental with Double J's victory, winning the Intercontinental title.
36:18And maybe the same will happen here tonight.
36:20And speaking of knees, you've got to remember.
36:22Wait a minute.
36:22Diesel has already admitted publicly to nine knee surgeries.
36:28And he's almost at our lap.
36:29He's had nine knee surgeries.
36:31And if Double J, Jeff Jarrett, can get that figure four leg lock clamped on
36:36in the middle of the ring, there's gonna be no way that Diesel,
36:40with those knees already damaged, can possibly keep admitting.
36:45And continuing to hammer away Double J who does not wanna win this thing via count out.
36:49Double J is all over Diesel, ladies and gentlemen.
36:53He's a smart man.
36:53Look, he's listening to the count.
36:55Jeff's listening to the count.
36:56And he's gonna make sure he drags Diesel in there winning, as he does now.
36:59He doesn't wanna lose or win by count out, because that would nullify everything.
37:04But he does wanna get on top of Diesel.
37:06And yes, a tremendous clothesline.
37:10Uncovered, do we have a new champion, one, two, no.
37:14It's not gonna be that easy, even I don't claim it's gonna be that easy.
37:18Diesel's the only man.
37:19A standing drop kick, actually done.
37:21Wait a minute, they're covering again.
37:23Two in, no.
37:24Can you imagine how high you gotta get up on a drop kick to hit Diesel in the face?
37:30Diesel is the only man ever to hold all three World Wrestling Federation titles
37:34in a 12 month period.
37:36And he didn't get that by being easy to beat.
37:38But Double J has the advantage here, and he's got to stay on top of him.
37:43Double J and Jeff Jarrett continuing now to pummel the World Wrestling Federation
37:47champion Diesel.
37:49And again, remember it all started without that right there, the roadie.
37:51Three, two, one, move.
37:55But it's gonna finish with Double J.
37:56Sure, the roadie may have given him a little help to beat Razor Ramon.
38:01But Double J's in there now.
38:03He's in there now with Diesel, and
38:05he is gonna make the most of his biggest chance yet in the World Wrestling Federation.
38:10Double J, wanting to be the owner of the Intercontinental title in
38:15the WWF Championship as well.
38:17A bulldog could not do it, a very effective bulldog.
38:20The cover, a new champion in two and three.
38:24No, no, so close.
38:26Double J just can't quite put him away.
38:29Was Diesel coming into this match looking past Double J?
38:32Was he looking to WrestleMania?
38:34Because Shawn Michaels will face whoever the champion is at WrestleMania.
38:38And now, Shawn's got Seth, he's got Dave Anderson.
38:41Double J, that guy could do it, two and two.
38:46And they're on kick out with some authority.
38:50Look at that look on Diesel's face, he's saying, not me, baby.
38:54But Double J ain't gonna give up.
38:56No, sidewalks now in Contagio style.
39:03And look at Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
39:06What a heart right here.
39:08And another one.
39:10Diesel pouring on the power here.
39:12And Double J for the ride to the far side.
39:15Coming back out of scoop and more trouble for Double J.
39:22Brother Double J is catching him.
39:24Diesel's pitting all the way and Double J's got to go after him.
39:27He's got to go after one of those legs.
39:29If he doesn't, his title chance is shot.
39:32Look, look at Double J.
39:36Are we gonna see him?
39:37Are we gonna see the Jackknife?
39:40Look at the roadie, he's trying to work his way in, but
39:43the referee's right there in front of him.
39:45Diesel calling for the Jackknife, sets up Double J.
39:53Me, no, yes, gosh.
39:57Three count, one, two, yes.
40:02That's it.
40:03The winner of this match against Hill,
40:07World Wrestling Federation, Big Daddy Cool, Diesel.
40:14He had to get the leg to have a chance, and he didn't get it done.
40:17Wait a minute, the roadie, I think it's gonna come for him, wait a minute.
40:22No, he didn't touch, look at that.
40:25He's knocked the roadie out too.
40:28Double J's still trying to recover.
40:31The roadie out the middle of the ring.
40:32Diesel still the World Wrestling Federation champion.
40:37I knew if Double J didn't get that leg, then he wouldn't have a chance.
40:41Because he had to be able to nullify the size advantage, and
40:45it was just impossible.
40:47Wait a minute, here comes something else from Engine George in the building,
40:51everybody.
40:51Here we go.
40:53A roadie.
40:55The roadie's gonna have a wreck out here on Interstate 75, look out.
41:00Yeah.
41:01Unbelievable.
41:04If only Otis Redding was here to give somebody some R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
41:09Ha, ha, ha, ha.
41:10Cuz they're getting none.
41:12Ladies and gentlemen, here you see him.
41:17The World Wrestling Federation champion, Diesel, in a successful title defense here
41:23live on Monday Night Raw.
41:26Wait a minute.
41:27Wait just a minute.
41:28Look at that.
41:29It's Shawn and Sid.
41:31That's Psycho Sid out there with Michaels.
41:36Diesel doesn't see him.
41:37Diesel doesn't know they're there.
41:39What's gonna go on here?
41:40Somewhere down the line, you get back.
41:45You get back and their paths will cross.
41:48I guarantee you this, Psycho Sid's gonna keep people away from Shawn.
41:53Everybody will resign from the human race rather than be on the planet with him.
41:56All right, ladies and gentlemen, there you see it.
42:01Successful title defense of the World Wrestling Federation champion, Diesel,
42:05who wants to take on all comers, that much is for certain.
42:09And we'll be back as we continue with more Monday Night Raw,
42:14live from Macon, Georgia, Street Women.
42:17All right, so we have a microphone in hand.
42:20How many microphones do you need?
42:22I need a bunch cuz I've got so much stuff to talk about.
42:24Lawrence Taylor gonna make an appearance next week.
42:27We found that out earlier in the program.
42:29Also a tremendous World Wrestling Federation title match.
42:32I thought Jeff Jarrett was gonna do it, but
42:34he just couldn't hurt that leg long enough to clamp the figure four on.
42:37But there's all kind of big news going on, and I just can't wait.
42:41Next week, Lawrence Taylor better apologize.
42:43He's been out playing golf.
42:45He's been doing all those type of things.
42:46When he quit football, people thought he was going into retirement, not hiding.
42:51Diesel has left the ring.
42:53I have no idea what this is all about.
42:55Shawn Michaels out here, along with that monster Sid.
42:59In any event, coming out and taking a little closer look, I suppose.
43:05He's scary, he concerns me.
43:09He concerns you.
43:09I don't wanna be around him.
43:11He has a nut.
43:12He's a pike.
43:12He's a weirdo.
43:13He's warped.
43:13Psycho.
43:14You know, Anthony Perkins.
43:18Father, Norman, that whole thing.
43:21Nonetheless, obviously, I would suggest to a very effective bodyguard for
43:24Shawn Michaels, wouldn't you think?
43:25I would think he'd be effective for anybody.
43:27If you wanna keep people away.
43:31There's a good look, ladies and gentlemen.
43:32He run off more people than a scarecrow in the middle of a cornfield.
43:35What do you want me to do?
43:37Huh? What do I want you to do?
43:40Don't hand this to me.
43:42What are you doing?
43:43As if I'm handing something to you.
43:44You handed this to me.
43:46I did? You handed this.
43:47Are they coming over here?
43:48What would you know?
43:49Would you know what to do with it?
43:51I don't wanna do this.
43:53I don't wanna do this, McMahon.
43:56Shawn, do me a favor.
43:58Keep him away from me because I don't trust him.
44:00I know you've gotta, gotta watch your back now.
44:03He's gonna keep everybody away, but just watch out cuz he's nuts.
44:06Yeah, you're telling me he's nuts.
44:09That's exactly why he's at the side of the Heartbreak Kid.
44:16You know something, Big Daddy Cool?
44:21I would not wanna be in your shoes because
44:28I've got somebody that can do more than fill your shoes, Big Man.
44:37I've got somebody that can knock you clean out of your shoes.
44:42All right, ladies and gentlemen.
44:44Shawn Michaels coming out and yes, there is another look at Sid.
44:49And by the way, yes, we invite you to join us next week when Lawrence Taylor will be
44:54with us, and of course,
44:55you'll be everyone waiting to hear what LT is gonna have to say.
44:59In addition to that, by the way, how about that?
45:01Lex Luger, one on one with Native American,
45:04let's take you to Todd Pengill back in the studio.
45:07It has become obvious to all that for months now,
45:10the million dollar corporation headed by Ted DiBiase has been trying to take over
45:15Lex Luger.
45:16It began with the buyout plan.
45:19Native American Tatanka's barrage of insidious verbal attacks on Luger's
45:23reputation soon transformed into physical insults at SummerSlam.
45:29Tatanka revealed afterwards, in the most repulsive of manners,
45:33how thoroughly he had sold out.
45:36Lex's desire for revenge compounds daily.
45:40Just two weeks ago, in a six man tag, Tatanka negotiated Luger's loss.
45:45And then, just last Sunday, the million dollar corporation struck again.
45:51But most infuriating to Luger, more than the corporation's cheating,
45:55was Tatanka's assault of his former mentor, Hall of Famer, Chief J Strongbow.
46:02Next Monday, Lex Luger, with Chief J Strongbow in his corner,
46:06will face the Native American turncoat, Tatanka,
46:10on the 100th edition of Monday Night Raw.
46:13For Vince McMahon and Jim Cornette, this is Todd Penningill saying goodnight,
46:17everybody.
