00:00Seven weeks ago, here on Monday Night Raw,
00:03Shawn Michaels became the first victim of Ted DiBiase's diabolical plot.
00:08To acquire the WWF Championship, the shortest distance to Diesel's title
00:13was a straight line right through his best friend, Shawn Michaels.
00:17The trap was set when Shawn Michaels' own bodyguard,
00:20Psycho Sid, who secretly had sold out to Ted DiBiase, lowered the boom.
00:26WWF Champion Diesel stopped the onslaught,
00:29preventing perhaps a premature end to Shawn Michaels' illustrious career.
00:34Tonight, Shawn Michaels' career resumes.
00:38But for how long?
00:39Tonight, Ted DiBiase sends the 440 pound King Kong Bundy
00:44into the ring to finish the job on Michaels that Psycho Sid started.
00:49Can the flamboyant heartbreak kid, Shawn Michaels, rise to the occasion?
00:54Or will he be crushed once and for all under the oppression of Ted DiBiase's
01:00million dollar team?
01:02...
01:22Millions of fans have turned in tonight, ladies and gentlemen,
01:26all over the United States for Monday Night Raw to witness the return
01:30of the man known as the Heartbreak Kid, it's Shawn Michaels one-on-one with King Pog Bundy.
01:40Hello everyone, I'm Vince McMahon along with Jerry The King Lawler, what a matchup tonight.
01:45That's right, and don't ever let me hear you say that the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase is not a compassionate man.
01:51He is, because you see, Shawn Michaels would love to have his hands on Sid.
01:56But the Million Dollar Man didn't do that to him, you know why?
01:59He's gonna let him go against 440 pounds of King Pog Bundy.
02:05What a matchup, in addition to your loud power stories.
02:08And by the way, I wouldn't be smiling if I were you, because the Hitman Bret Hart is living up to his promise.
02:13He is here, and that means he's likely to be in your face at any moment.
02:17You gotta be kidding me, the Hitman Bret Hart wants some more of me?
02:20After what I did to him?
02:22I'll tell you this, if he shows up here, I can't be held responsible for my actions.
02:27Come on, Hitman.
02:29Here comes the bad guy, Razor Ramon!
02:35This contest is scheduled for one fall.
02:37Introducing first, and accompanied to the ring by Caribbean legend Savio Vega from Miami, Florida,
02:45weighing 287 pounds, the bad guy, Razor Ramon!
02:52Yes, it has been a tremendous weekend for Razor Ramon,
02:56qualifying for the WWF King of the Ring tournament with a defeat over Jacob Blue.
03:02And by the way, it's a good thing that Savio Vega was in the bad guy's corner this past weekend,
03:08just as he was, ladies and gentlemen, in your house.
03:12This is after the match was officially over.
03:14Savio Vega came in, he could not stand by.
03:17And see Double J and see Rody continue to punish Razor Ramon in your house, Savio Vega, ladies and gentlemen.
03:24Yes, Ram both Double J and Rody and then from there,
03:28summarily clean house, Savio Vega.
03:31We had no idea who he was at the time.
03:34We knew he was somebody very, very special.
03:37And we certainly found out later, he's a good friend of the bad guy, Razor Ramon.
03:42Yeah, well this Caribbean legend, Savio Vega,
03:45had a couple of enemies that may come back to haunt him in Double J and the Rody.
03:49We mentioned earlier that the bad guy has qualified for the King of the Ring tournament this past weekend,
03:54but also this past weekend, believe it or not, on Friday night in Montreal,
03:58Razor became the only three-time Intercontinental Champion once again.
04:04Wait a minute, McMahon.
04:06Not the only, just the first three-time Intercontinental Champion.
04:10Because just last night in Three Rivers, Canada, Double J regained the title.
04:17And you know what?
04:18Savio Vega was nowhere around.
04:20They wouldn't even let Burrito Breath cross the border.
04:23Well, unquestionably a very busy weekend for the bad guy, Razor Ramon.
04:28Razor ready for action as he is on any occasion locking up with Mike Bell on Monday Night Raw.
04:34Razor back to the corner.
04:37Razor, cool, calm, and collected until he loses it.
04:40And when he loses it, look out.
04:44I can't believe that he's actually qualified for the King of the Ring tournament.
04:49Can you imagine? He couldn't even wear a crown, McMahon.
04:51What are you talking about?
04:52Why, it would slip right off that greasy head of his.
04:54King Ramon, that's a nice ring to it.
04:56Then again, how about King Mabel?
04:58What?
04:59Or King Holly?
05:01All three individuals have qualified, ladies and gentlemen.
05:04Razor, Bob Holly, and Mabel have all qualified.
05:07And tonight, either Shawn Michaels or another king, King Kong Bundy, will qualify.
05:13Now, of course, Bundy, so far out of all the names you've mentioned,
05:17is the only man that I truly feel deserves to be a king.
05:20Yeah, I'm sure.
05:25And the crowd chanting for the bad guy, Razor Ramon.
05:29Nice reversal there by Mike Bell.
05:31Razor looking for an escape.
05:33No, nice reversal.
05:35Elbow right in the buttock.
05:36And a slap.
05:37Wow.
05:38Razor Ramon qualifying earlier this weekend,
05:40beating Jacob Blue and Savio Vega, by the way.
05:44Squares off against Eli Blue on the action zone this Sunday.
05:47But wait a minute.
05:48Look at this.
05:49Mike Bell bounding in offense now.
05:51Yeah.
05:52Mike Bell coming on strong against the bad guy.
05:54I like it.
05:55Wait a minute.
05:56Now Razor turning Mike Bell around.
05:58And here we go.
06:00Vicious chop by the bad guy.
06:02Razor Ramon lays him in.
06:04And Mike Bell goes for the ride.
06:08Razor Ramon needs this victory.
06:11Razor Ramon is at a top seat derby,
06:13roller coaster ride over these last four days.
06:16Look out.
06:17Razor now.
06:18Look at it.
06:19All over Mike Bell.
06:20Yeah, look at him slap his face.
06:22You know, that's exactly what I'll do to Bret the Hitman Hart
06:25if that spineless pansy shows his face out here.
06:28I'll slap his face, man.
06:29Oh, you can bet the Hitman's going to come out here.
06:31I mean, you can bet.
06:32Are you serious?
06:33You think he really will?
06:34Listen, Bret Hart suffered the most embarrassing defeat
06:38of his long and illustrious career.
06:40What?
06:41Yeah, absolutely.
06:42Oh, come on.
06:43You mean losing to me?
06:44All he did was join a long and impressive list of some
06:47of the top names of talent that's ever
06:49stepped through the ropes that have been
06:51humbled at the feet of the king.
06:53Yes, but I mean, it's one thing what you did to the Hitman
06:55on March 13 back here on Monday Night Raw.
06:58That was a victory via count out thanks
07:00to Bull Nakano and Akushi.
07:02But then from there, what you and Akushi and Shinjadale
07:06in your house is dastardly.
07:10I mean, actually pinning the Hitman Bret Hart.
07:13That's right.
07:14I pinned him in a match that he had dedicated
07:16to his wrinkled up old mother.
07:18Wait a minute, just to his mom.
07:19It was Mother's Day.
07:20That's right.
07:21And you and your mother, give me a break, Jerry Lawler.
07:24She was so proud.
07:25How low can you go?
07:26That wasn't your mother.
07:27That was my mother, McMahon.
07:29Yeah.
07:30Well, you're about to get the mother.
07:31Oh, my goodness.
07:32Look at that.
07:33You're about to get the mother of all face-offs
07:35because the Hitman Bret Hart is watching as we speak.
07:38I hope so.
07:39You know, all this talk about mothers,
07:41I read in the paper today.
07:42I finally figured out what's wrong with Bret Hart.
07:44I read in the paper today that ugly babies get less love
07:48from their mothers.
07:49And that's what happened to Bret.
07:51What?
07:52He was such an ugly baby, he didn't get all the affection
07:55that he needed from Helen.
07:57Mike Bell's on the top rope, ladies and gentlemen.
07:59The bad guy, Razor him on, sets him up.
08:02Yes!
08:03Suplex from the top.
08:04And I think that's just about going to do it.
08:07What do you think?
08:09The bad guy.
08:10Well, yeah.
08:11Finish him off.
08:13Sit down, you little idiots.
08:16Razor him on with Mike Bell.
08:18Savio Vega from the Bronx, New York, looking on.
08:21Gets the nod.
08:22Savio and, well, no, maybe not.
08:25Huh?
08:26Let's.
08:27Ha, ha, ha, ha.
08:28Aw.
08:29Third guy, Razor him on, victorious.
08:32Having a little sympathy, perhaps, for Mike Bell.
08:35Razor!
08:36I wish I'd been in there with him.
08:38I do, too.
08:39Hey, I wish you'd get in there with a hitman, Bret Hart.
08:42Well, let him show his face.
08:44That's all he's going to do.
08:45I don't think you really want that.
08:47That ugly face of his.
08:49He was so ugly as a baby that for the first six months,
08:52Helen diapered the wrong end.
08:54Ha, ha, ha, ha.
08:56All right.
08:57The bad guy, Razor him on, victorious, ladies and gentlemen.
09:01Shawn Michaels makes his return here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
09:06Yes, we're off again.
09:07King Kong Funday in another King of the Ring qualifying matchup.
09:14The bad guy leaving the ring victorious.
09:17The bad guy, Razor him on.
09:19The first ever three-time WWF Intercontinental Champion.
09:24They love him here in the World Wrestling Federation.
09:28Here he comes.
09:29Huh?
09:30Here comes Bret Hart.
09:32Hey, I told you I'm not going to be responsible for what happens.
09:40Here we go.
09:41Don't get blood into your face.
09:42Throw it down.
09:44What?
09:45What do you want?
09:50He's got no business being out here.
09:56I thought you would have seen enough of me by now, Hitman.
09:59Did you take a hike?
10:02Jerry Lawler.
10:09You know, I've been walking around all day,
10:12and I still can't get over.
10:16You know, I hate, I just despise, I hate people that have excuses all the time.
10:22And I hate to have excuses.
10:26Because I got to ask myself, how in the hell did I lose to you?
10:34What do you mean?
10:35You worthless little scum.
10:38Hey, hey, hey.
10:40How did I lose to you?
10:42I have to ask myself today whether or not I'm a failure on account of you.
10:48It was bad enough that I lost my championship belt.
10:53I've gone through enough stuff that I don't need a little parasite maggot like you, Jerry Lawler,
11:00coming out here and saying that you're better than me.
11:04McMahon, get rid of him right now.
11:06Get him out of here.
11:08You will never, ever be better than me.
11:10And the fact that you cheat so well.
11:13You know, Jerry Lawler, I hate excuses.
11:16And I have to ask myself how it is that I can look at my mother,
11:20who I asked with my whole damn family to watch me,
11:24kick your lousy, stinking butt.
11:26And you know what?
11:27I let everybody down, didn't I?
11:29Jerry Lawler.
11:36You got beats, big deal.
11:37So you got me, Jerry Lawler.
11:38You got me right where you want me.
11:40You've humiliated me.
11:43You've trashed me.
11:44You've embarrassed me like I've never, ever in my whole life been embarrassed.
11:51And I just want to ask you one thing.
11:54One simple thing.
11:57What is it going to take for me to get your lousy, stinking butt
12:01back in that ring one more time,
12:03so I can destroy you once and for all?
12:08What about it?
12:09What about what?
12:10You've been crowing now for two.
12:12What about it?
12:13What about it?
12:14What about it?
12:15Give him a rematch.
12:16What is it going to take?
12:17Anything you want.
12:18Any kind of match.
12:19Any kind of terms.
12:21I want one more match, Jerry Lawler.
12:23You got it.
12:24Anything in the world that you can possibly dream of.
12:29I want one more match.
12:31One more match.
12:34What is it going to take?
12:37Look, McMahon.
12:38Why don't you tell him that he has suffered enough humiliation.
12:42He's looked like a fool in front of his family.
12:44He's looked like a fool in these eyes of these idiots right here.
12:47You don't want that again.
12:48Fool in front of my family.
12:49I hear you say that I made a fool of myself in front of my whole family.
12:52What is it going to take, you lousy rat?
12:54What is it going to take?
12:56Come on, you son of a bitch.
12:57Get in the ring right now.
13:00What's it going to take?
13:02Come on, house.
13:03What is it going to take?
13:04Come on, McMahon.
13:05Get him out of here.
13:06You know what you are?
13:08I'm trying to be a coach.
13:09You know what you are?
13:10You are lower than s***.
13:13Brett, don't.
13:14Don't, don't.
13:15Brett.
13:16Brett, stop.
13:19What is it going to take?
13:23Hey, come on.
13:25Get a match you want.
13:27Get a match you want.
13:29Let's have a match.
13:31Get a match you want, you scum.
13:33Get a match.
13:35Huh?
13:36Brett, no.
13:37Come on, no.
13:53Put your hands in the air.
14:01Welcome back, everyone, to our Monday Night Raw.
14:03Mr. McMahon and Jerry The King Lawler.
14:05I might say a bloody Jerry The King Lawler.
14:07Your nose is starting to bleed out of that one nostril.
14:10Your hair is all disheveled.
14:11And the look on your face, Jerry Lawler.
14:14You think it's funny, don't you, McMahon?
14:16You know what?
14:17I'm going to tell you something.
14:18You're the Connie Chung of this team.
14:19Do you realize that?
14:21You could be replaced.
14:22And you obviously should be replaced.
14:23You didn't even lift a finger to help me.
14:25Help you?
14:26That's right.
14:27Do you not realize how important I am to this broadcast team of you and I?
14:31You're only out here to make me look good.
14:32And you should have jumped up there.
14:34And you should have got him off of me, McMahon.
14:36All right, ladies and gentlemen.
14:37John Crespo in his striped tights against this most unusual athlete.
14:42Give credit, in terms of his athletic prowess, to Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
14:46Making his debut here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
14:50Here's a guy with some class, McMahon.
14:52Unlike Bret the Hitman Hart.
14:54He really showed his true colors out here.
14:56He made a complete fool out of himself.
14:58To a certain extent, I was concerned that the Hitman would do just that.
15:02I think he stopped just short, however.
15:04Bret Hart obviously very, very upset over what he called
15:07the most humiliating defeat of his life.
15:11Yeah.
15:12And you, McMahon, sitting there hearing the headlights look on your face.
15:16Why not?
15:17I had no idea what Bret was going to do.
15:18I think you slipped in a cheap shot there in my ribs.
15:20Did you hit me in the ribs?
15:21I didn't hit you.
15:22Please.
15:23Hunter Hearst Helmsley going for the rope.
15:25That's one way to break the hold.
15:28Hunter Hearst Helmsley, ladies and gentlemen, an American of blue blood.
15:32Thinks he's a little bit better than most other Americans.
15:35By the way, why don't you tell us what's going to come up here on USA
15:38on Wednesday night?
15:39Well, I will.
15:40Because Wednesday on USA, an unholy confession becomes a priest's
15:43ultimate test of faith.
15:45Christopher Reeves stars in Mortal Sins, a USA Pictures original,
15:49Wednesday night at 9, 8 central here on USA.
15:52And you know, that's exactly what Bret the Hitman Hart committed,
15:55a mortal sin, by coming out here and doing what he did tonight.
15:58When I get through, he's going to need a priest, too.
16:00Oh, my goodness.
16:01A series of forearm uppercuts by Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
16:05Hunter knows what he's doing in a squared circle.
16:07We have been looking forward to this.
16:09Oh, my.
16:10WWF Monday Night Raw debut for some time.
16:15Hunter Hearst Helmsley right back.
16:17What a vicious individual.
16:19What an aggressive athlete this Hunter Hearst Helmsley is.
16:22That's right.
16:23I like the looks of this guy.
16:26Rubbing the forearm across the facial area of his opponent, John Crystal.
16:30Crystal thus far at the moment-
16:31He's got banners.
16:32Banners, too.
16:33Look at that.
16:35However, I would suggest that these peons in the peanut gallery out there
16:39don't deserve to be bowed to.
16:41Snap suplex, nicely executed by Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
16:46At the conclusion of this matchup, ladies and gentlemen,
16:49we will hear a statement of sorts as it relates to the political career,
16:54or potential political career, of one two-time former WWF champion,
17:00Bob Baxler.
17:01The future president.
17:02I don't know about that.
17:03Not of the WWF, of the United States.
17:05Off the rope, and Crystal down across the knee.
17:08Again, very impressed by the athleticism of Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
17:15The way he walks around the ring.
17:17That's class, McMahon.
17:18That's class?
17:19Yes.
17:20I don't think so.
17:22I'd describe it as something else.
17:25Words defy at the moment.
17:27A right hand by Crystal Mist.
17:29And a-
17:30Look at that maneuver, would you?
17:32Hunter Hearst Helmsley shoots the hair off the cover.
17:36The count.
17:38And a pretty easy victory.
17:40A surprisingly pretty easy victory by Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
17:44I thought he might be all talk and not a great deal of athleticism.
17:49We have all been surprised, I think,
17:51by the skills displayed of Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
17:55The American blue blood.
17:56But speaking of great Americans,
17:58stand by, ladies and gentlemen, for the man who would be the president.
18:03Although the plebeians have a tremendous amount of abomination for Mr. Bob Backlund,
18:11I always knew that you agreed with my viewpoints.
18:18The ecosystem and education in the United States is running amok.
18:24And one of the first things I would do as president
18:28is make sure that every individual out there gets a job
18:34and has the ability to save enough money
18:38so he can purchase a dictionary
18:41and augment his ability to read.
18:46I'm going to demand that everyone get motivated
18:52to read at least one classic American novel each week.
19:00I advocate the abolishment of the spell check.
19:05Under my administration, there'd be no more calculators in the school system.
19:10The plebeians need to learn to work with their minds.
19:15And remember, a computer society is a defunct society mentally.
19:23The educational system is regressing, ladies and gentlemen.
19:27Our youth aren't receiving the education that they should be getting.
19:33They are illiterate.
19:35The Japanese people have 100% literacy.
19:40Therefore, I'm demanding that our youth go to school 12 months out of the year.
19:48And there will be no summer vacations.
19:59And tonight's gonna be no vacation for Shawn Michaels.
20:02I'm told right now in the back, we have a camera with Ted DiBiase and King Kong Bundy.
20:07Bundy, Diesel's little buddy, Shawn Michaels, has crawled out of his hole.
20:11And I want you to take him, and I want you to shove him right back in the hole he came out of.
20:15Boss, I'm gonna take that little runt, and I'm gonna squash him like a great.
20:19That's it. That's just what I want.
20:23Let's take you to Orlando, Florida, and witness Stephanie Wyann
20:26presenting the keys to this $150,000 vacation home
20:30to 11-year-old Matt Papaselli and his parents.
20:38Hi. Hi.
20:39You must be Matt. Yes, this is me.
20:41Matt, Stephanie Wyann. Hi.
20:42Nice to meet you. Congratulations. I have some housewarming gifts for you guys.
20:44Oh, thank you.
20:45Okay, this is the most important part, the key to your house.
20:47All right.
20:48We're gonna see the inside, and Matt, I've got a real big surprise for you.
20:50I can't wait. I can't wait either.
20:51Yeah, I think I'm as excited as you are.
20:54Here we go. Cool.
20:56Wow, look at this house.
21:00Where do you see the rest of it?
21:01But Matt, this is the best part of the kitchen.
21:02All right. You wanna take a look?
21:03Okay. Why don't you come with me?
21:04All right, I need you to help me open the doors,
21:05because this is my favorite part of the kitchen.
21:07Ready?
21:08Yay!
21:10Oh, good evening.
21:11Welcome to your house, baby.
21:13Okay, Matt, you ready?
21:14Yeah, I'm ready.
21:15All right, here you go.
21:16Your very own porch,
21:18which leads to your very own pool.
21:22Your own screened-in pool.
21:23Isn't that gorgeous?
21:24Yeah.
21:25I mean, how many 11-year-olds do you know
21:26with their very own pool?
21:27None.
21:31Matt Papaselli, ladies and gentlemen.
21:33Yes, proud as he can be,
21:34as Bobby Shinner comes to,
21:36very, very proud individual,
21:38joining forces.
21:40Known as the Allied Powers, yes.
21:42Led by Flagbears,
21:44here comes Rex Luger,
21:46along with the British Bulldog,
21:48Baby Boy Smack.
21:50Yeah, take a look at those Flagbears, McMahon.
21:52It won't be long till you see a scene like that
21:55right down Pennsylvania Avenue.
21:58Flagbears leading President Bob Backlund
22:01to the White House.
22:02Now, wait a minute.
22:03Bob Backlund hasn't decided officially
22:05whether or not he's actually gonna run for president.
22:08I'm sure there are those out there, however,
22:10who would vote for him, no question about it.
22:13Monday Night Raw is brought to you by Pet Boys.
22:16Where quality parts, accessories, and service
22:19come to Pet Boys,
22:21America's automotive super center.
22:24I can feel it now, McMahon.
22:25That's it.
22:26A groundswell throughout America,
22:28Bob Backlund for president.
22:33Look, Connie.
22:35Another trick like that,
22:36and I'm gonna drop you like a bad habit.
22:38Well, all right, I apologize.
22:39I was just having a little fun there.
22:40I just thought you should have seen.
22:42Oh, my goodness.
22:43I wish we had the cameras on your face.
22:45You should have seen, ladies and gentlemen,
22:46the look on the King's face
22:48when I mentioned the name of Bret Hart.
22:50And by the way,
22:51you should have seen the look on Mabel's face.
22:53So let's go back and take a look at it.
22:55Look at this.
22:56This was on the action zone,
22:58and look, there's Baby Boy Smith
23:00underneath huge, monstrous Mabel,
23:03and actually stands up all the way with Mabel
23:06until he comes crashing down.
23:10Okay, I'll admit, McMahon,
23:11that's pretty impressive.
23:12He lifted over 515 pounds there,
23:15but that's not nearly as impressive
23:17as I'm gonna be if Bret the Hitman Hart
23:19comes back out here.
23:20Well, look at that.
23:21Nicely done.
23:22What are you talking about?
23:23And that is undragged by the British Bulldog.
23:25Baby Boy Smith and Lex Luger,
23:27unfortunately,
23:28the most powerful tag team combination
23:31ever assembled in the WWF today.
23:33And by the way,
23:34getting back to Bret Hart,
23:35since you brought up his name,
23:37as we see the reversal there off the rope.
23:39Uh-oh.
23:40Oh, boy.
23:41Domino's gonna go for the ride.
23:43What about giving Bret Hart the rematch he asked for?
23:46What about it, Jerry Lawler?
23:48Why does he even deserve a rematch?
23:50Whoa!
23:51What do you mean?
23:52He's a three-time loser.
23:53You know,
23:54people don't realize
23:55every time I've stepped in the ring
23:57with Bret the Hitman Hart,
23:58I've come out the winner.
24:00Well, just give him this one more rematch.
24:03Double back body drop.
24:06Give me one reason I should.
24:08One reason?
24:09Yes.
24:10Well, uh,
24:11does the movie title
24:13Die Hard with a Vengeance ring a bell?
24:15What are you trying to imply there now?
24:18Hey, take it for what it's worth.
24:20Come on, let's see it one more time.
24:22I mean, the Hitman Bret Hart
24:23deserves an opportunity for sure
24:26to right the biggest wrong,
24:28the biggest flaw on his career.
24:31All he was doing was out here
24:32trying to show off in front of all of these morons.
24:35He doesn't really want any more of me, McMahon.
24:37He dedicated this matchup to his mother,
24:39and look what happened.
24:40She didn't even show up.
24:41She was at home somewhere
24:43putting tenderizer on her applesauce,
24:45and she knew what was gonna happen.
24:47She knew that I was gonna beat the Hitman.
24:50She didn't even want to be there to see it.
24:52But my mother was there.
24:54Let's-let's please not get into your mother.
24:56Oh, they're open!
24:57Payne going down to the canvas.
24:59Bill Payne having problems
25:00that you would suspect anyone would
25:03against this extraordinary team.
25:05Headbutt.
25:06You know, McMahon,
25:07you and I better both vote for Bob Beckham
25:10if he decides to run.
25:11And why is that?
25:12Well, because he's promised me
25:13that one of the things on his platform
25:15will be that he'll make it tougher
25:16for Rip Graff like Davey Boy Spindle
25:18and this Canadian Bret the Hitman Hart
25:21to cross our borders.
25:22Wait a minute, they let you out of Memphis
25:24earlier today, didn't they?
25:26And down!
25:28Power slam, a cover!
25:29I count it to a count of three!
25:32What do you mean by that remark?
25:34There you have it, ladies and gentlemen.
25:36The Allied Power is victorious.
25:38Wait a minute, here comes Bret Hart!
25:40No, no, I'm only teasing.
25:41I'm only teasing.
25:42You're gonna get it, McMahon.
25:44No, you're gonna get it.
25:46From the Hitman, Bret Hart.
25:48All right, ladies and gentlemen,
25:49let's take you back now to last week.
25:51Ted DiBiase coming into the building
25:53earlier that afternoon.
25:55I've got a real good idea,
25:56and I think, Erwin, you'll agree with this.
25:58Why don't you,
25:59since you seem to be so chummy-chummy now
26:01with your newfound friend Diesel,
26:02why don't the two of you get together
26:04and form a tag team combination?
26:06Because I've got a team in mind
26:08that would just love to face you.
26:09His name is Sid and Native American Tataka.
26:12Because you see, Bam Bam,
26:14if it weren't for you,
26:15Sid would be World Wrestling Federation
26:17champion right now.
26:18As Bam Bam awaited the presence of Erwin R. Shyster,
26:22it did not take Bam Bam Bigelow
26:24very long to respond to Ted DiBiase.
26:27I'd like to introduce to you
26:29a man that's gonna be in my corner!
26:33A man that I would be proud
26:36to be tag team with!
26:39Big Daddy Cool!
26:42Yes, it was the WWF champion, Diesel.
26:46And it did not take Big Daddy Cool
26:49very long for his presence to be felt.
26:52Look what he did.
26:53He eradicated the presence of one Ted DiBiase,
26:57running like a scared rabbit,
26:59running back to the dressing room.
27:01Furthermore, Diesel prevented IRS
27:03with a cheap victory there over Bam Bam Bigelow,
27:06bringing to the official's attention
27:08that IRS's feet were on the ropes.
27:10And then Bam Bam Bigelow,
27:12one-on-one, a fair fight and a victory
27:15for the Beast from the East!
27:18The winner of the match, Bam Bam Bigelow!
27:21However, Ted DiBiase returned to ringside
27:24with Sid, with Tataka,
27:26to get a good look at the team
27:28they unquestionably will face
27:30sometime, someplace, somewhere in the future.
27:35And when that happens, McMahon,
27:37you'll see Diesel and Bam Bam bite the dust
27:40just like the New York Knicks did.
27:43Yet to come in action, it's Kama,
27:45the supreme fighting machine,
27:47and then from there, yes,
27:48a busy evening for Ted DiBiase,
27:50King Kong Bundy,
27:52one-on-one with the heartbreak kid Shawn Michaels!
27:58The Undertaker.
27:59The man from the dark side
28:01wants to add a little light to his life.
28:04The sparkle from a king's crown.
28:07Jeff Jarrett.
28:08Double J loves the glitter of gold.
28:11And in the King of the Ring,
28:13he feels he'd have the Midas touch.
28:16The greatest meets the greatest
28:19in a King of the Ring qualifying match
28:22next week on Monday Night Raw.
28:25And what a match that's gonna be.
28:27Jerry Lawler, pick a winner.
28:28Can you imagine the Undertaker
28:30in the King of the Ring qualifying tournament?
28:32You want me to pick the winner?
28:34I'll tell you right now, Double J!
28:36Oh, come on.
28:37Double J is lucky to have his title back.
28:39Well, there's the reason right there you saw.
28:41What Ted DiBiase just took from Kama.
28:44That new and improved urn.
28:47Without the urn, the Undertaker is nothing.
28:50Kama, the supreme fighting machine,
28:53joining us this week.
28:54And yes, no love lost between the Undertaker
28:56and this extraordinary athlete, Kama.
28:59Horowitz trying his luck against Kama.
29:02Look at that Kama.
29:03He's starting to look like a walking art gallery.
29:07Kama using his feet as well as his hands.
29:10Can mix it up in any fashion.
29:13But right there, going for a wrist lock.
29:15Top wrist lock now applied by Barry Horowitz.
29:18And oh my goodness!
29:20Whoa, baby!
29:22The look on Horowitz's face.
29:23He couldn't believe he was out of that hole with ease.
29:26Yeah.
29:27Almost like the look on your face earlier on
29:29when the Hitman Bret Hart came out here.
29:32And again, I believe the public deserves an answer
29:35and certainly Bret Hart deserves an answer
29:37as to whether or not you will accept a rematch from the Hitman.
29:41And whatever those terms and conditions might be.
29:44You mean he's saying I can have any kind of match with him?
29:46Any sort of stipulation?
29:48He'll agree to anything?
29:49Right in there to the top of the head.
29:52Forearm uppercut.
29:53Didn't phase Kama, did it?
29:56Kama, look out.
29:58Over the top, he missed!
30:00Barry Horowitz pats himself on the back.
30:02Maybe not for long.
30:03Kama keeps Horowitz on the outside now.
30:05And one hard right hand in the midsection.
30:07Doubles up Barry Horowitz,
30:09who is yet to win a match here on Monday Night Raw.
30:13You know, all I have to do, McMahon,
30:15is just think of something that would be really,
30:19some sort of stipulation that would be really humiliating,
30:22really embarrassing for Bret Hart.
30:24There's no doubt I would win the match,
30:26so I could just come up with anything, right?
30:28Well, if you feel confident enough.
30:30Oh my goodness, another left hand.
30:32The WWF spanning the globe later this week.
30:35As a matter of fact,
30:36WWF action in Manila, the Philippines,
30:39this Wednesday night.
30:41And Thursday and Friday,
30:43the WWF appearing in Canada,
30:45in Edmonton on Thursday night, the 25th of May,
30:48and in Calgary, Alberta on Friday night,
30:51this coming Friday night, the 26th.
30:53Calgary, of course,
30:54the home of the one and the only,
30:57Hitman Bret Hart.
30:58Yeah.
30:59Also the home of his parents,
31:01Stu and Helen Hart.
31:02The only couple that are so old,
31:04they have hieroglyphics on their birth certificates.
31:07You know what?
31:08What?
31:09If you ever do accept a rematch from Bret Hart,
31:12well, I think Bret Hart will not be responsible
31:16for his actions.
31:17Oh, is that so?
31:18Yes.
31:19I'd like to do that to him right there.
31:20Look at that.
31:21Submission maneuver, ladies and gentlemen,
31:23and a pretty easy victory by Kamas.
31:25Ted DiBiase reaches for what used to be the urn.
31:30Ted DiBiase and Kama had it melted down into a necklace.
31:35Kama victorious.
31:37Hey, folks, Todd Pettengill here,
31:39just taking a quick time out,
31:40and then we'll get you to that
31:41King of the Ring qualifying matchup
31:43between Shawn Michaels and King Kong Bundy.
31:45But speaking of King of the Ring,
31:47the second annual World Wrestling Federation
31:49Hall of Fame banquet will happen
31:51the night before the King of the Ring spectacular
31:53in Philadelphia.
31:54We're talking about Saturday night, June the 24th,
31:57reception, dinner, and then the actual
31:59induction ceremony at 8.15
32:01in the beautiful Grand Ballroom
32:03of Philly's new Marriott Hotel.
32:05You can get your tickets by calling Ticketmaster

32:11In Jersey, it's 609-984-2000.

32:20Very important, make sure you call right away
32:22if you're going to attend,
32:23because tickets must be purchased in advance
32:25and before June the 22nd.
32:27In the weeks to come here on Raw,
32:29we'll be announcing this year's honorees.
32:31I'd like to begin this week by congratulating
32:33Antonino Rocca, former wrestler and broadcaster
32:37from the mid-'70s, among the first names
32:39of superstars who will be inducted
32:41into the World Wrestling Federation
32:43Hall of Fame this year.
32:44Let's get you back to ringside,
32:45Vince McMahon and the King Jerry Lawler.
32:48Antonino Rocca, truly one of the greats.
32:50McMahon, how old were you in that picture?
32:52Why?
32:53I just wondered, have you been drinking
32:54as much water as Helen Hart?
32:56Let's take you over to Barry Dudinsky.
32:57Barry.
32:58Thanks a lot, Vince.
32:59You know, Shawn Michaels is going to be
33:00coming into the ring in just a moment.
33:02And to celebrate that, take a look
33:03at the brand-new Shawn Michaels T-shirt.
33:05They call this one the all-over T-shirt
33:08because the print is all over the T-shirt.
33:10We're going to take a real good look
33:11at the front of the T-shirt,
33:12and we're going to flip it around
33:13and show you the back of the T-shirt
33:15because there's printing all over it.
33:171-800-88-08-RAW gets you the brand-new
33:21Shawn Michaels T-shirt for only $20.
33:23One size does fit all.
33:25You get it here today on RAW.
33:271-800-88-08-RAW.
33:29And take a look real quick
33:30at the Monday Night RAW T-shirt
33:32available today.
33:33Uh-oh.
33:34Wait a minute.
33:35That's King Kong Bundy and the Corporation.
33:37Hey, I'm out of here.
33:38I guess so.
33:39King Kong Bundy means business.
33:43He means million-dollar team business.
33:46Yes, they named that T-shirt
33:48after what Bundy's going to do to Shawn Michaels.
33:50He's going to be all over him.
33:52All right, this is who has qualified thus far
33:54in the King of the Ring tournament,
33:55ladies and gentlemen.
33:56Mabel, Bob Holly, and the bad guy.
33:58Now, will it be Bundy who qualifies
34:00or his opponent, Shawn Michaels?
34:03Everybody wants to be the King, McMahon.
34:05As I said last week,
34:06thanks to King to Noah King,
34:08now that Elvis is gone,
34:10I'm the only one left.
34:12But I'm going to put my money
34:13on that King right there tonight.
34:15Stay tuned, everybody.
34:19King Kong Bundy awaiting the presence
34:21of Shawn Michaels, the Heartbreak Kid.
34:24And you sort of wonder
34:25what sort of reception
34:26we're going to find out right now.
34:30Here he comes,
34:31the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels.
34:41That's indeed about this King.
34:43A standing ovation
34:45for the charismatic, controversial
34:48Shawn Michaels.
34:50Yeah, look at him.
34:51He's loving it.
34:52He's eating it up with a spoon.
34:54I can't believe it.
34:56A standing ovation, yes, indeed,
34:59by truly one of the great athletes
35:01in the history of the WWF,
35:03Shawn Michaels,
35:05to meet this mammoth, monstrous
35:07King Kong Bundy.
35:12The question is whether or not
35:13Michaels physically is ready
35:16to face an individual
35:17the size of King Kong Bundy
35:19It was only seven weeks ago.
35:21Look out from behind.
35:23The match between
35:24Michaels, Heartbreak Kid,
35:25and King Kong Bundy.
35:26Bundy attacking from behind.
35:28Michaels down.
35:29Yes, with a knee to the outside.
35:31The match not even officially underway.
35:34And Michaels is electrifying
35:36this capacity crowd.
35:39We're back.
35:40Ted, look out behind you.
35:42Michaels is tapping him on the back.
35:44He just did Ted to the acid.
35:46Shawn Michaels having some fun.
35:49And there are only two reasons
35:50why someone would do that.
35:52Either they're big enough
35:53to back it up,
35:54or they just don't care.
35:55Look at that.
35:56Look at this.
35:57Michaels taking it
35:58to the 40, 40 pound mark.
36:00He's got it.
36:01He's got it.
36:02He's got it.
36:03He's got it.
36:04He's got it.
36:05He's got it.
36:06He's got it.
36:07The 40, 40 pound King Kong Bundy.
36:10Shawn Michaels beating the count
36:12right back in.
36:13Can you believe the performance
36:15thus far of the Heartbreak Kid,
36:17Shawn Michaels?
36:18He is rocking the house.
36:21He may get overconfident,
36:22McMahon.
36:23He's been off for a while.
36:24He may, you know,
36:25he may look good early,
36:26but the longer this match goes,
36:28he may start to wear down.
36:30Time won't tell it again.
36:31You have to wonder
36:32what kind of condition
36:33Shawn Michaels is truly in.
36:35Has the back healed up 100%?
36:38I don't think you ever
36:39completely heal after
36:40three power bombs from Sid.
36:43Maybe not.
36:44A handshake?
36:45I don't think so.
36:46Bundy caught off guard
36:48by the, oh, my, yes,
36:50in your face.
36:51Ha, ha, ha.
36:54This little strategy
36:55of Shawn Michaels' late backburner,
36:56he's trying to act real cute, see?
36:58There you go.
36:59Goodness, and Bundy
37:00turning the tide now.
37:01Michaels to the rope
37:02from the far side.
37:03Underneath the roundhouse,
37:04and look at that.
37:05He's safe.
37:06Oh, a tap to the belly.
37:07A tap to the chest.
37:09Michaels having a way
37:10on Big King Kong Bundy.
37:11Take a look at this.
37:13Michaels,
37:14the Bundy way of war.
37:15A hard right hand,
37:16a succession of a down.
37:18Bundy shutting
37:19Michaels down in a canvas.
37:20Michaels, look out.
37:21Where's he going?
37:22Went out to tip him.
37:23Look at that.
37:24Look out, tip.
37:25Jeff DiBiase again,
37:26fired by the skills
37:28of Shawn Michaels
37:29going up to the top rope now.
37:31Michaels,
37:33down in the back
37:34of the huge carcass of Bundy.
37:36Michaels, a hard right hand
37:38and a butt of the jaw.
37:39Shawn Michaels
37:40with tremendous momentum.
37:41Michaels now
37:42with this bohemian.
37:43Let's see what can happen here now.
37:45Reversal to the Buckner.
37:46Oh, my goodness.
37:48There you go.
37:49Shawn Michaels is a great athlete,
37:51McMahon,
37:52but all great athletes
37:53come to the end of the line.
37:54Just like Charles Barkley said
37:56this weekend.
37:57He's played his last basketball game.
37:59If he makes Bundy mad,
38:00Shawn Michaels may be
38:01wrestling in his last match.
38:03And, oh, no.
38:04It's on the outside
38:05and Bundy now
38:07going to work on the back.
38:09That's right, on the back.
38:11King Kong Bundy,
38:13the biggest monster
38:14in the entire
38:15Million Dollar Team
38:16against Shawn Michaels.
38:18Bundy handpicked by
38:19Ted DiBiase
38:20to finish the job.
38:22Psycho Sid started.
38:23Can he do it?
38:25He stays on his back.
38:26There he goes.
38:27One huge forearm
38:28and Shawn Michaels
38:29down to the canvas.
38:30Last week,
38:31ladies and gentlemen,
38:32it was Bam Bam Bigelow
38:33against another
38:34Million Dollar Team member,
38:35IRS.
38:36Big Daddy Cool was on him.
38:38Wait a minute.
38:39Look at that.
38:40Unbelievable.
38:41That could be it.
38:42Covering.
38:44Big Daddy Cool
38:45was watching.
38:46Bam Bam's back.
38:48You have to wonder
38:49whether or not-
38:50Oh, no.
38:51Diesel
38:52is looking on.
38:53There must be some-
38:54Oh, no.
38:55Come on, ref.
38:56Get in there.
38:57440 pounds
38:59standing on the back
39:00of your neck.
39:02And look at this now.
39:03DiBiase
39:04screaming at Shawn Michaels.
39:06That's right.
39:07Look at that.
39:08All the showboating.
39:09All the hot-dogging.
39:10Coming back to haunt
39:11Shawn Michaels now,
39:12isn't it?
39:13And Michaels in a world
39:14of hurt
39:15as King Kong Bundy
39:16applies pressure
39:17on the Bear Hug.
39:18Again, continuing
39:19to attack
39:20the back area,
39:21the vulnerable back area
39:23of Shawn Michaels.
39:25We said before,
39:26you have to wonder
39:27whether or not
39:28Shawn Michaels
39:29is looking on.
39:30There must be some reason
39:31why we have not seen
39:32any other
39:33Million Dollar Team
39:34members down around
39:35ringside,
39:36especially
39:37that psycho.
39:38I think that the
39:39Million Dollar Man
39:40feels confident
39:41in the abilities
39:42of King Kong Bundy.
39:43He thinks Bundy's
39:44gonna be able to handle
39:45Shawn Michaels
39:46by himself.
39:47Michaels
39:48with an uphill battle
39:50against the hand-chosen
39:52monster known as
39:53King Kong Bundy.
39:54Look at-
39:55Look at Bundy
39:56pouring on now.
39:58Shawn Michaels,
39:59often controversial,
40:01always charismatic,
40:02trying to come down
40:03to huge back up
40:04when they're trying
40:05to get him down.
40:06Oh, no.
40:07Oh, devastating.
40:08Got off-
40:09That should do it.
40:10Two and a count of three.
40:11No, he didn't.
40:12No.
40:13Michaels got the right
40:14shoulder up.
40:15Shawn Michaels
40:16barely kicking out
40:17of that maneuver.
40:18And look at DiBiase.
40:19Put the pressure on him.
40:21A shifty-eyed millionaire.
40:23DiBiase
40:24thinks he can buy
40:25anything and anybody.
40:27DiBiase
40:28buying the services
40:29of Psycho Sid
40:30even before Sid
40:31declared himself
40:32a millionaire team member.
40:34Buying the services
40:35of Psycho Sid
40:36when he was actually
40:37the bodyguard
40:38of Shawn Michaels.
40:39What do you mean
40:40shifty eyes?
40:41You got it.
40:42I like the way his eyes
40:43can look down on you
40:44while his nose
40:45is still pointing up.
40:46Uh-huh.
40:47Michaels now
40:48trying to find
40:49a measure of escape.
40:50Big King Kong Bundy.
40:51Imagine 440 pounds
40:52riding down on you.
40:54Bundy
40:55pouring it on.
40:56And you have to wonder
40:57whether or not Michaels
40:58let his ego
40:59get in the way
41:00once again.
41:01You have to wonder
41:02whether or not Michaels
41:03should have waited
41:04a little longer
41:05to make his comeback.
41:06Seven weeks,
41:07maybe not long enough
41:08to recover
41:09if anyone ever
41:10really does recover.
41:11Wait a minute.
41:12Get away from that
41:13big guy, man.
41:14Look at this.
41:15Bam Bam and Diesel
41:16watching the matchup
41:17in the locker room area.
41:18You have to wonder
41:19who's watching Diesel?
41:20Who's watching Bam Bam?
41:21What sort of plot
41:22is going to unfold here
41:23from the way you
41:24don't do Michaels
41:25down to the canvas?
41:26It's too big, man.
41:27Gotta go low.
41:28Oh, interrupt!
41:29Oh!
41:30Nobody home!
41:33We're back, everyone.
41:34Yes, Diesel and Bam Bam
41:35looking on,
41:36and Michaels has been
41:37taking it to
41:38this monstrous
41:39King Kong Bundy.
41:40High-risk maneuver
41:41after high-risk maneuver.
41:42Or will it pay off
41:44on the top end?
41:45Oh, yes!
41:46Bundy
41:47falling like a giant
41:48building down to the canvas.
41:50Get up!
41:51Get up!
41:52He's up,
41:53but not for long.
41:54A super kick
41:55on cover.
41:56No!
41:57Yes!
41:58Yes!
42:00Imagine that.
42:01King Michael
42:02victorious.
42:04Imagine
42:05the disjection
42:06of the Million Dollar Man
42:07Ted DiBiase.
42:09And Michaels has
42:10proved his point.
42:15Diesel and Bam Bam
42:16Oh!
42:17Heading out
42:18to the ringside area.
42:20Now you have to wonder
42:21what sort of relationship
42:22What are we gonna see here?
42:24Between Shawn Michaels
42:26and Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
42:28This will be the first time
42:29in public
42:30that we'll get some idea
42:32as to whether or not
42:33Michaels holds any
42:34resentment whatsoever
42:36to the WWF Champion Diesel.
42:39Yeah, I'm interested to see
42:41if they're really the
42:42bosom buddies that
42:43Diesel claims they are.
42:44I don't think so.
42:46Big Daddy Cool and Bam Bam
42:48making their way
42:49to the ringside area
42:50no doubt.
42:51To congratulate
42:52Shawn Michaels.
42:53What an unbelievable
42:54comeback.
42:55Can you imagine?
42:56Michaels victorious
42:58over King Kong Fundy.
43:01And that makes a statement
43:03no question about it.
43:04Wait a minute.
43:05Michaels taking a look
43:06at Bam Bam and Big Daddy Cool
43:09for the first time.
43:10Let's see what's gonna
43:11happen here.
43:15Diesel would like very much
43:16to shake hands.
43:22We see a reluctant
43:23Shawn Michaels.
43:25What's going on in
43:26Michaels' head right now?
43:28I told you there's still
43:29some animosity here.
43:31The handshake or not?
43:35I don't think so.
43:36No, he's backing up.
43:37He says no.
43:39See, Shawn Michaels
43:40said he don't need anybody.
43:42Wait a minute.
43:44What does that mean?
43:45That says I believe yes.
43:47This is what they used to do.
43:49I think I know
43:50where they're going.
43:51Yes, here we go.
43:53Way up there.
43:54All right, Michaels.
43:55He's gonna get out
43:56of steam up in.
43:57Yes, nothing but nets.
44:00Michaels, Big Daddy Cool,
44:02Diesel.
44:06Well, let's all just have
44:07a big group hug.
44:08There can be no doubt now.
44:12Back together again.
44:16Shawn Michaels
44:17and the World Wrestling
44:19Federation champion.
44:20And the beast from the east.
44:23Oh, yeah.
44:24What a reunion.
44:26What a victory for Shawn Michaels.
44:28And he did it all by himself.
44:33However, you can bet
44:34we have not heard the last
44:35of Ted DiBiase,
44:37Psycho Sid,
44:38Native American Tatanka,
44:40or the other Million Dollar
44:41Team members.

45:14And I'm gonna-
45:19What's the matter with-
45:20Kid!
45:23He's stuck his finger in my throat!
45:27I don't think we're gonna get
45:28an answer from The King,
45:29ladies and gentlemen,
45:30but unquestionably,
45:31a number of questions
45:32will be answered next week.
