00:00The World Wrestling Federation, for over 50 years,
00:04the revolutionary force in sports entertainment.
00:09Earlier today, flying high above the arena, the WWF Blimp,
00:14captained by Irwin Silfies and Infamilias Bob Backman.
00:18Ladies and gentlemen, this afternoon, outside of the arena, actually campaigning.
00:24Look at this, people are actually listening to Bob Backman.
00:27People are lazy.
00:30You're individuals.
00:33Bob Backman, campaigning in Ohio for Monday Night Raw.
00:39Ladies and gentlemen, in 1865, Lincoln freed the slaves.
00:47And now without an education, you're gonna be stuck in slavery again.
00:52And you're gonna depend on government gold to satisfy your lives.
00:58And tonight, ladies and gentlemen, the British Bulldog,
01:02one on one with his very own brother-in-law, the King of Hearts, Owen Hart.
01:08What a matchup this is going to be for the very last qualifying matchup.
01:13Yes, indeed.
01:14The last slot will be filled here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
01:18Welcome everyone, welcome to the highest rated,
01:22regular television series on cable.
01:26It's the Greatest Ben Stone.
01:29It's the best show on cable.
01:32It's the greatest show on cable.
01:35It's the greatest show on cable.
01:39It's the greatest show on cable.
01:47on cable television, last week more people than ever tuned in to Monday Night Raw.
01:57What a raucous crowd we have here jam-packing this arena in Slobbers, Ohio.
02:04Come on everyone, I'm Clint McMahon, along with Jerry The King Lawler.
02:07And in action tonight, you're gonna see a good friend of Rey's Ramones making his debut.
02:12We're talking about Savio Vega.
02:14But speaking of debuts, my man, one of the most illustrious in the history of Monday Night Raw
02:19is gonna be here tonight, the debut of the Body Donners, Skip and Sonny.
02:24But hey, that's not all, there's gonna be another debut.
02:27And I'm excited about the man from Canada.
02:30That's right, I'm excited about him, Jean-Pierre Lafitte.
02:33You know why I like him? The name, Lafitte.
02:37I see, and ladies and gentlemen, a little bit later on we're gonna be taking you to Jim Ross
02:41and Gorilla Monsoon for the call for the King of the Ring qualifying matchup.
02:44Then we'll see the brother-in-laws clash, no question.
02:47But the biggest news of all, perhaps, right here in this ring,
02:51I'll have the pleasure and the privilege of interviewing the Hitman Brad Hart,
02:55who earlier this weekend accepted Jerry The King Lawler's challenge
02:59for the first ever Kiss Your or My Foot match, as the case may be.
03:04Let me tell you this, if he's gonna be here in this ring,
03:07I hope he comes out and tries to get in my face again.
03:10Let me tell you something, Brad Hart, if you come out,
03:12I'll show you a thing or two, no, I'll show you a toe or two.
03:16I'll stick my foot right down your throat, do you understand?
03:19Because you have stepped in it, Brad Hart.
03:21You have made the mistake of your life.
03:23I got it, I tricked him, he signed it.
03:25I'll kick my foot.
03:28Here we go with Savio Vega.
03:30From the surface, he's got a hard bod.
03:32Introducing first, weighing in at 256 pounds,
03:36the Caribbean legend, Savio Vega.
03:40His opponent early in the ring,
03:43weighing 240 pounds, from Clearwater, Georgia, Kenny Kendall.
03:47We first saw, look at this, and Savio weighs no time at all,
03:50trying to work on Kendall.
03:52Savio Vega, lift Kendall to the buckle, falling right off.
03:56Savio Vega means business, no question about it.
03:58We found that out in your house when we first saw him.
04:02Of course, we didn't know exactly who he was when we first saw him.
04:05Just looked like some idiot out of the audience,
04:07running in, interrupting a match where he had no business.
04:09No idiot at all.
04:10As a matter of fact, Savio Vega is unquestionably a Caribbean legend,
04:14now making his home in South Bronx, New York.
04:16Kendall to the buckle, and look at that.
04:18What timing of Savio.
04:20Wait a minute, look at the back of Savio's head.
04:21Look at that haircut.
04:23Can you read it?
04:25Savio Vega going to work on Kendall.
04:27What are you talking about?
04:28What kind of a haircut?
04:29His haircut, Savio Vega's haircut, look.
04:32He's got his name.
04:34Where did they think he got a haircut like that?
04:36I wish you'd tell me, because I want to know who to avoid.
04:38I bet those woodpeckers that have been punching holes in the space shuttle
04:42did his haircut for him.
04:44What do you think?
04:45You would say something like that is.
04:47Kenny Kendall has the advantage now on Savio Vega.
04:50Savio making his first appearance.
04:55Look at this.
04:56Look at Kendall.
04:57What confidence by Kenny Kendall.
04:59Yeah, let's talk about Kenny Kendall.
05:01Looking good.
05:04And Vega hammering away on Kenny Kendall.
05:08Kendall being set up now by Vega.
05:10Off the rope and-
05:11What's this?
05:12Drops him down to the canvas.
05:15Savio Vega in control.
05:22Luckily for Savio Vega and his family,
05:27recent hurricane in Florida, Hurricane Allison.
05:32A long ways from his homeland, but-
05:34Yeah.
05:35What?
05:36What kind of name is that for a hurricane?
05:37Allison.
05:38That's a wimpy name, isn't it?
05:39It's just a tropical storm now.
05:41But did you see that in USA Today,
05:43it said the 10th hurricane of the season.
05:45You know what it's gonna be named?
05:46What?
05:47Hurricane Jerry.
05:48Now that'll be a storm for you.
05:50No question about that.
05:51Hurricane Jerry right now on Savio Vega.
05:54And a tremendous submission over Savio Vega.
06:04All right, ladies and gentlemen,
06:05Savio Vega, victorious and impressive debut
06:08here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
06:10I see the haircut.
06:12I'm embarrassed to reveal a special music video
06:15involving the convalescing World Wrestling Federation
06:19champion Diesel, who happens to be in New York City,
06:23at a special USA Network function
06:25watching Monday Night Raw as we speak.
06:28Well, that's Viva Las Vegas, huh?
06:30How about that?
06:31Yeah.
06:32All right, after we see the Diesel video,
06:33by the way, standing by will be commentary
06:35from Psycho Sid and Native American Tantaka.
06:38Let's take you now to the World Wrestling Federation champion.
06:43Unleash the new generation
06:46of the World Wrestling Federation.
07:13Oh, sweet it is.
07:15Guys, big time.
07:17Let's go.
07:18Let's go.
07:42Let's go.
07:43Let's go.
07:44Let's go.
07:45I know I am.
08:11fund online,
08:14The winner of the Doozle.
08:18Dr. Jim Andrews, world renowned orthopedic surgeon.
08:21And I'm sure you did a fine job fixing up Big Daddy Cool, Doc.
08:24But I tell you what, you better reserve a hospital bed back at that hospital,
08:28because we're gonna send him right back to you, plus one more.
08:31That's right, Bigelow.
08:33I hope you got Dr. Andrews' telephone number handy.
08:36Cuz in King of the Ring, you're gonna pay the ultimate price.
08:39See, the pain that you poor fools have suffered in the beginning
08:45is nothing like the pain you'll experience.
08:48Nothing, cuz we have no feeling.
08:50We have no remorse.
08:52For no one.
08:56What a tag team matchup that's gonna be, ladies and gentlemen.
08:59Big Daddy Cool, Diesel, the champion,
09:00teaming up with Bam Bam Bigelow, headed to the King of the Ring.
09:03Yet to come here tonight, we're live.
09:07Yes, and we're gonna chat with the best there is, the best there was.
09:10And the best there will be, the Hitman, Bret Hart,
09:12who accepted your challenge over the weekend, Jerry Lawler.
09:15And of course, the King of the Ring qualifying matchup,
09:18the Bulldog against Owen Hart.
09:20Plus, in action, the Body Donnas, Skip and Sonny.
09:23Let's take you to Body Donnas.
09:24Hey, Skip, you sweating yet?
09:27Of course not.
09:29I'm Sonny, this is Skip.
09:31We're the Body Donnas.
09:33Skip here is getting a little warm up before his match.
09:36Not that he needs it, he can't improve on perfection.
09:40But he's getting a little work out now because when he gets in the ring,
09:43it'll be no sweat.
09:44Welcome back, everyone.
09:51We are live from Shredders, Ohio, Monday Night Raw.
09:56Standing by now, ladies and gentlemen, the WWF's answer to Monty Hall.
10:00Mary Davinsky, where are you?
10:02Hey Vince, I'm over here in the Iowa.
10:04You know, every year, every pay-per-view, every event in the WWF,
10:08people want to buy the event t-shirt prior to the event.
10:11We can never get it to them.
10:13Tonight, we're going to do it.
10:14Three weeks away from King of the Ring, here is the King of the Ring t-shirt.
10:17It's only $18, and you can get it by dialing 1-800-TITAN91.
10:22Here's the front of the shirt.
10:23I'm going to flip it around real quick and show you the back of the shirt.
10:26You're fast.
10:27Live on pay-per-view.
10:29Absolutely, from the core state spectrum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
10:34Sunday, June 25, 1995, only $18.
10:40And you can read, too.
10:41Amazing.
10:41Let's see the front of that again, Barry.
10:43I'm going to turn it around, Vince.
10:44Here it is, the front of the t-shirt.
10:46Now Vince, you know, you see the little button here on my lapel, Vince?
10:49It's right here.
10:51Everybody is talking about the Bob Backlund for President button.
10:55We can't sell it to you, but guess what?
10:57If you buy the t-shirt, you get it for free.
11:00You can lose a couple pounds.
11:02Oh my goodness.
11:04You know what's the only thing I didn't like about the shirt
11:07Barry Dydzinski's wearing?
11:08What's that?
11:08His head was sticking up out of it.
11:10225 pounds.
11:12Skip, they are the Bodyguards.
11:13That's a nice shirt of his, man.
11:15I'm not too fond of the button, but nonetheless, boy,
11:17that Dydzinski's something.
11:18He's been throwing that button in for great.
11:20What a sport.
11:21Last in the big spenders.
11:23I heard he throws quarter tips around like manhole covers.
11:27There you go.
11:27Hi, everybody.
11:28Hello, Sonny.
11:29I'm talking to all of you fat, out of shape,
11:31sorry excuses for human beings.
11:34Well, you're in for a treat tonight.
11:37You're about to see the most physically fit superstars of
11:42the World Wrestling Federation.
11:44This is Skip.
11:45I'm Sonny.
11:47We're the Bodygonnas.
11:49Don't forget it.
11:50Yeah.
11:51Skip and Sonny, ladies and gentlemen.
11:53The WWF's answer, perhaps, to Tony Little and Susan Fowler, I don't know.
11:59Eat your heart out, you couch potatoes out there looking.
12:02They all should have a physique like you, a kingly one, right?
12:05Exactly.
12:05All right, here we go now.
12:06Skip locking up with Barry Horowitz, arm drag takedown.
12:08Nicely done.
12:10Whoa.
12:10Hip toss, nicely done.
12:11A debut here.
12:12Hey.
12:14Thus far, an impressive one.
12:15We don't turn your back on Horowitz.
12:17Whoa.
12:18With a forearm.
12:19Barry Horowitz with another one.
12:22Horowitz now setting up Skip.
12:23Skip coming off the rope, drop, nope.
12:25Over from the other side.
12:26Hip toss, nicely done.
12:29Could this very well be the first match Horowitz ever wins on Monday Night Raw?
12:34A scoop and a slam.
12:36What do you expect, the back fighter that he is?
12:38And a drop kick, Barry Horowitz, ladies and gentlemen.
12:41Wants to ruin the debut of Skip and Sonny, the Bodygonnas.
12:44I'll tell you something, look at Skip, look at Sonny.
12:49They both look like their bodies are chiseled out of stone.
12:51They look fantastic, like statues.
12:53I'm not all that impressed myself.
12:56They appear to be in relatively good condition.
12:59And Sonny better stay out of this.
13:03A warning there by Barry Horowitz.
13:06And Horowitz thus far is taking it to Skip of the Bodygonnas.
13:10Can't quite get him over for the gut wrench.
13:12Nicely done there, however, by Skip.
13:14That's right, because Horowitz obviously forgot to do his exercises this morning.
13:18And what's gonna happen here?
13:20My goodness.
13:21The Bodygonnas.
13:24Making derogatory comments earlier on in this capacity crowd in Struthers, Ohio.
13:30Seem to be quite rude, if not even conceited.
13:34Who's that?
13:35These people here, Struthers?
13:36No.
13:37Dropping the elbow.
13:40And you better watch yourself, Jerry Lawler.
13:42The Hitman Bret Hart accepting your challenge last weekend, this past weekend.
13:47The first ever WWF Kiss My Foot match.
13:51That's right.
13:51Leave it to you to come up with something like that.
13:53Wait a minute, no, no, he didn't.
13:57That was so close.
13:59Horowitz.
14:00Receiving into the clothesline.
14:02I can't believe that I tricked the Hitman.
14:05Can you believe he actually, like I said, he stepped in it, McMahon.
14:08Because I am starting right now.
14:09I've thrown away my odor eaters.
14:11I've sworn off the decedent.
14:13My feet are gonna be ready.
14:14Come King of the Ring, when he has to get down on his hands and
14:17knees and crawl across the ring and kiss my feet.
14:20I promise you, by then, my feet would make Dr.
14:22Schultz gag.
14:23It's gonna be great.
14:25Look at this from the top.
14:26My goodness, drops the leg across the chest of Horowitz.
14:29That could very well do it.
14:30Uncover, uncover.
14:32And a victory.
14:33The Body Dynas with a successful debut of their own right here on Monday Night Raw.
14:38Yes, they're coming tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
14:39The King of the Ring full fun matchup.
14:41Call Bret Jim Ross if you're one of them soon.
14:43We'll take you to another location to see the final of the brother-in-laws,
14:47the British Bulldog and Owen Hart.
14:49The Body Dynas, how about that?
14:53Very, very impressive.
14:54He's starting to sweat.
14:56Let me take you now to Todd Pettengill and the King of the Ring report.
14:59Hey, everybody, it's Todd Pettengill with your King of the Ring report here on
15:05Monday Night Raw, and I guess modesty isn't a quality that was
15:11instilled in Skip as a young megalomaniac.
15:19Anyway, an impressive debut nonetheless.
15:21Folks, we are just three weeks away from the third annual King of the Ring
15:25pay-per-view spectacular, totally live from the core state spectrum in
15:28Philadelphia, Sunday night, June the 25th at 7 o'clock Eastern, 4 Pacific.
15:33And what a night it is going to be.
15:35Remember, the only way to see it is by calling your local cable company and
15:39placing your order on pay-per-view.
15:41Let me get right into it for you.
15:42We've already heard about the main event, Big Daddy Cool Diesel and Bam Bam Bigelow
15:47taking on Sid and Native American Tatanka, and that certainly is going to
15:51be extraordinary.
15:52However, let's focus our attention now on the actual King of the Ring single
15:56elimination tournament.
15:57It really is all the excitement of the NBA playoffs and March Madness crammed
16:02into one incredible night.
16:03Let's call it June Madness at the spectrum, because in order to become the
16:07World Wrestling Federation King of the Ring, you've got to defeat three
16:11federation superstars in the same night.
16:14Let's take a look at our graph to see how things are shaping up.
16:17The first match in round one will be Mabel taking on The Awesome Undertaker.
16:23It should be an incredible matchup.
16:25The winner becoming the odds-on favorite, obviously, to be the king.
16:30The second first-round matchup features the flamboyant Shawn Michaels against the
16:34million-dollar corporation representative, Kama.
16:38Now, you know Ted DiBiase wants nothing more than Kama supremely defeating
16:43the boy toy.
16:45Moving on in round one, as Bob Holly qualified here on RAW, that means he will
16:50square off against The Roadie.
16:52Now, The Roadie upset Doink this past weekend on World Wrestling Federation
16:55superstars.
16:56However, I don't know if the road dog skills are ready for the high speed of the
17:01two-sport star, Bob Holly.
17:04Now, on to the final first-round matchup.
17:06Razor Ramon will take on the winner of our final qualifying matchup, which promises
17:11to be explosive.
17:13We're talking about current World Wrestling Federation King of the Ring,
17:16Owen Hart, taking on his brother-in-law, half of the allied powers,
17:21Davey Boy Smith, the British Bulldog.
17:23We're standing by right now waiting for that match.
17:26Imagine, if you will, some of the possible matchups in the second round
17:30of this tournament.
17:32Let's just say, for instance, The Undertaker defeats Mabel and Kama beats
17:36Shawn Michaels.
17:37We would see The Undertaker against Kama, a definite score to settle there.
17:43Or how about if Mabel gets by The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels defeats Kama?
17:47The second round match there would pit the 515-pound Mabel against the
17:52235-pound heartbreak kid, Shawn Michaels.
17:56I mean, that is incredible.
17:57On the other hand, what if Davey Boy Smith qualifies here tonight?
18:00He'll have to face the bad guy, Razor Ramon, in the opening round.
18:04Friendship means nothing, because if you lose one match, you're out.
18:09It's going to be fabulous.
18:10Plus, as you've all heard by now, Jerry Lawler has indeed accepted the Hitman's
18:15Challenge and will take on Bret in a first-ever pay-per-view
18:19Kiss My Feet match.
18:21And we'll have more on that a little later on.
18:23But as we said, here we go, folks.
18:26As you can hear, current King of the Ring, Owen Hart,
18:29making his way to the squared circle.
18:31Let's send you back to ringside.
18:33Jim Ross and Hall of Famer Gorilla Monsoon with the call.
18:36Guys?
18:37Tom, thanks very much.
18:38Owen Hart, along with Mr. Fuji and James E.
18:41Cornett, have made their way to the ring.
18:43We're just moments away from Owen's confrontation with his brother-in-law
18:47Gorilla, the British Bulldog.
18:49This is going to be a classic confrontation.
18:51Will it be the Rocking King, Owen Hart, who repeats as King of the Ring?
18:55Or will it be the British Bulldog, Davey Boy Smith?
18:58Folks, we'll be right back.
18:59Don't you go away.
19:02We're back, ladies and gentlemen.
19:03Jim Ross and Gorilla Monsoon, the raucous red glare as the British Bulldog,
19:08Davey Boy Smith, one half of the Allied Powers, makes his way to the ring.
19:13And Gorilla, this is it.
19:15One of these two men will advance to the King of the Ring tournament.
19:18One of these two guys will become one of the elite eight
19:22that will be vying for the 1995-96 King of the Ring.
19:27Hey, you know, the Rocking King not too happy, Jim Ross.
19:31He figures as being the current reigning king, he should have drawn a bye
19:35right to the end of the bracket tournament and then face whoever was left.
19:38Well, that's not what it's all about.
19:39It's about competition.
19:41And we should see great competition right here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
19:46Don't forget, a little bit later in the program,
19:47we'll be going back to Vince McMahon and Jerry The King Lawler.
19:51They are in Struthers, Ohio.
19:53A qualifying matchup for the King of the Ring tournament.
19:58More importantly, the final qualifying matchup.
20:02Seven spots in the tournament have been determined.
20:05The eighth and final position right here, right now.
20:09And remember, you must win to advance.
20:12The British Bulldog.
20:13Look at that beautiful arm wringer.
20:15The stronger of the two athletes.
20:17Perhaps Owen Hart is faster, is quicker.
20:20We'll see as this match develops.
20:22But the Bulldog can certainly use his power to his advantage,
20:26especially here in the early going, as we see right here.
20:29Of course, no better roses here, Jim Ross, for
20:31whomever the winner is, he's gonna have to face the bad guy.
20:35Well, that's gonna be a tough challenge, no doubt about it.
20:37As the British Bulldog, Davey Boy Smith, who I'm sure-
20:42Whoa!
20:43Nice kickoff.
20:44Nice move there, right out of the near fall situation.
20:46I'm sure the Bulldog's tag team partner, Lex Luger, is looking on,
20:50as is the 600 pound Yokozuna, the tag team partner and
20:54co-champion with Owen Hart.
20:56No question about that,
20:57because both of these guys are respectively representing their teams.
21:01And I don't think that The Rock and
21:02King is gonna be able to do anything to outpower the British Bulldogs.
21:07It's moves like this that are gonna save them.
21:09Great move there by Owen Hart.
21:10He grabbed a handful of hair.
21:12The referee did not see that.
21:14And Owen Hart certainly will not admit that he did break the rules there,
21:17to take down his brother-in-law, Davey Boy Smith.
21:20My.
21:21Wow.
21:22Trying to wrench that to rest there.
21:24There he is, Owen Hart.
21:25How prestigious is the title king of the ring?
21:28Even The Undertaker wants to be king.
21:31The Undertaker, of course, already qualified.
21:34He'll take on Mabel in the first round.
21:36And remember, to advance, you have to win.
21:40Any form of victory, whether it be by disqualification, count out,
21:45submission, or pinfall, will get you into the tournament.
21:48But to advance, you must win.
21:50Great move there by Owen Hart.
21:52Nice leverage up over the top.
21:54Look at the power of the British Bulldog.
21:57We told you about the strength.
21:58Tremendous military slam.
22:00He's got it.
22:01Could be all over now.
22:03Ooh, was that close.
22:04Owen Hart quickly rolling outside.
22:06Not a bad idea.
22:08He's gotta regroup right here after that military press slam
22:12by the British Bulldog, Davey Boy Smith.
22:15James E.
22:16Cornette rather concerned right now, and rightfully so, Gorilla.
22:19Well, he should be concerned, and maybe the Rocking King was right.
22:24Maybe he should have got a bye, being the current reigning king, and
22:27gone all the way, and met whoever was left at the end of the brackets.
22:30I'm not sure that it's gonna work, but it'll never.
22:32My.
22:33Tough way to come back in the ring, Owen Hart,
22:36who won the King of the Ring Championship last year in Baltimore, Maryland.
22:40That tremendous pay-per-view event as the British Bulldog now
22:44applying the armbar on Owen Hart.
22:47And let me refresh your memory, Jim Ross.
22:49It was the excellence of execution himself,
22:53Brett the Hitman Hart, who was the first ever King of the Ring.
22:56Hey, it could easily stay right in the Hart family.
22:58Well, Davey Boy Smith could perhaps be the third member of the Hart family
23:04to become King of the Ring.
23:05That is, if he could get by his brother-in-law right here tonight on Raw.
23:09Hart's shoulder lock, good move there by the British Bulldog,
23:12Davey Boy Smith, going right to left, countering with a hip lock takeover.
23:16He's got that sudden quickness along with that power.
23:19Right back into the armbar, and that thus far,
23:22the left arm and shoulder have been the focus of the British Bulldog,
23:26as far as his offense is concerned with Owen Hart.
23:31Very, very cautious beginning for both of these guys.
23:34Nobody pulling out all the stops.
23:36Nobody wants to make a mistake in this one.
23:38Shades of, that's finish too hard right there, Gorilla.
23:42Well, both of these guys learned their trade down in the dungeon in Calgary,
23:46Alberta, Canada.
23:47Owen, the youngest of 12 children.
23:50What a headbutt there.
23:51Now the side headlock.
23:52Owen Hart has regained the momentum offensively here.
23:55Of course, if you make one mistake against Davey, or that matter,
23:58if you make one mistake against Owen, you're finished.
24:01Oh, he does not keep up with the beauty.
24:03Great agility there by the British Bulldog, Davey Boy Smith, and Davey Boy now.
24:08Again, with that wide base,
24:11trying to put the pressure right on the insertion point at the shoulder, Gorilla.
24:17Now he's applying the pressure right now.
24:19A submission here will put him right in the bracket against Razor, and
24:23Owen can kiss it goodbye.
24:26Well, there's no doubt that Razor Ramon is certainly observing this contest
24:31here tonight on Raw.
24:33Of course, these men, not only being brother-in-laws, they're no strangers.
24:36They know what it's like to be in the ring together in tag team competition,
24:40as the Allied Powers, my, certainly have their sights set
24:44on the WWF Tag Team Championship.
24:46Hard knife edge chop by Owen Hart.
24:49Hart now with the advantage.
24:50There's the Irish whip, as they went right to left.
24:52Oh, but nobody there.
24:54Ramming that left shoulder right into the steel post.
24:57And that's exactly the shoulder that the Bulldog has been focusing on.
25:01There's a front face lock now.
25:03Davey Boy Smith.
25:04Oh, we're gonna see that high vertical suplex.
25:08If so, it's a great power display.
25:11One of the patented maneuvers of the British Bulldog.
25:14There it is.
25:15And there is Owen Hart, vertical, the blood rushing to his head.
25:19And indeed, he has a long, long time to think about his precarious position
25:24that he's in right now.
25:25What kind of power does it take to do that?
25:28Enormous.
25:29He's got it.
25:29Ladder one, two, and three.
25:31No, he didn't.
25:32He got, man, Cornette.
25:34Wow, Cornette is breathing a sigh of relief.
25:36That was a good, long two count.
25:38And reverse chin lock applied by Davey Boy Smith.
25:42Oh, one of these two guys, well, both of these guys, in fact,
25:45Jim Ross, have the endurance.
25:48That factor is so important if you wanna become king of the ring,
25:51because you've got a long way to go.
25:53You gotta get through three top superstars here in the World Wrestling Federation
25:57in order to get the crown.
25:58And both of these guys have the endurance to do just that.
26:01And you gotta do it all in one night.
26:03And these qualifying matches are no piece of cake either.
26:06They're 15 minute time limits.
26:07Side headlock there by the British Bulldog.
26:10Owen Hart's gotta free himself, and he does.
26:12Drops down to avoid the contact.
26:15He caught his brother-in-law coming off the ropes with that knee, and
26:18he buried it deep into the abdomen.
26:21Now, let's see if Owen Hart can capitalize.
26:23Will he set the Bulldog up for the sharpshooter?
26:26Very cunning move by the current Radiant King of the Ring, Owen Hart,
26:30as he really knows how to go after you.
26:32Once he's got you in a compromised position, he is relentless.
26:36And now bringing Davey Boy outside and drips him over the apron.
26:41And look at those hard elbows right to the chest.
26:45Right in the esophagus area.
26:47Owen Hart is relentless here.
26:49He senses that the momentum has changed, that he is now the aggressor.
26:54He is on the attack.
26:55But can he and will he capitalize on this situation?
27:00Come on, ref, he's using the ropes illegally there.
27:02Well, the ref is exercising his count, and
27:04Owen certainly does not wanna be disqualified.
27:07If that were the case, then Davey Boy, the British Bulldog, would advance.
27:11First the ramifications of this one, so powerful.
27:15Referee may be allowing a little bit of leeway for both of these guys.
27:18Ladies and gentlemen, let us take this opportunity to apologize.
27:21We've got to take a commercial break in just a moment or two.
27:25Wait, what?
27:26We've got to take a break, that's what they're telling me, Gorilla.
27:28Well, wait a minute.
27:29Ladies and gentlemen, this matchup, Owen Hart and Davey Boy Smith will continue.
27:37Owen Hart with the advantage, says Davey Boy for the ride.
27:39Davey Boy back to the near side, he's caught.
27:41Holy mackerel, what a roundhouse.
27:43He got caught right in the head with that roundhouse kick.
27:46And Owen Hart in this final slot for the King of the Ring tournament.
27:49Going for the cover, one, two, and a kick out by Davey Boy Smith.
27:54Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to Monday Night Raw.
27:56Jim Ross and the Hall of Famer Gorilla Monsoon back with you.
27:59If you just joined us, this match, a 15-minute time limit.
28:03And we have, I understand, Gorilla, just under five minutes to go.
28:06Well, we did a little calculation during the break.
28:08We're under five minutes right now.
28:10You know, to the best of my recollection, in all of the other seven qualifying
28:14matches, Jim Ross, time has never been a factor.
28:18Look at this, beautiful sleeper, cutting off the pressure, putting pressure on
28:22that carotid artery, stopping the flow of blood to the brain.
28:25And the lights go out sooner than you think.
28:27Davey Boy in a weakened state right here, ladies and gentlemen.
28:30And later here tonight on Raw, we'll take you back to Struthers, Ohio.
28:34Vince McMahon and Jerry The King Lawler are standing by.
28:38Folks, we will indeed keep you abreast as to the time and
28:42how much of it is left as we get closer here to this 15-minute time limit.
28:48We're approximately four minutes remaining in this match.
28:52Crowd here trying to get Davey Boy back in it.
28:54Davey Boy, tremendous former Intercontinental Champion,
28:57former WWF Tag Champion, with the Dynamite Kid.
29:02Gotta get to his feet here.
29:04He has gotta get out of this position, no doubt about it.
29:07Or we may be just moments away from seeing the reigning King of the Ring
29:11champion, Owen Hart, qualify once again.
29:15That hand came up and held up that third time.
29:18The winner of this matchup will meet the bad guy, Razor Ramon.
29:23And Davey Boy, with all that power and strength, he reached down deeply.
29:29Waist lock, Owen Hart, and came up with a suplex.
29:32Of course, the cobwebs are still there from the sleeper hold.
29:36Davey not able to follow it up.
29:38He's a little groggy.
29:39The Rocket King is as well.
29:41Both guys ripe for the pickin' right now.
29:44Owen Hart back up quickly now with that right hand.
29:47Clip to the center of the ropes.
29:49And he's trying to, my, take that flip, one, two, three, no.
29:52A two and a half count.
29:54And Owen Hart back up again, again with that roundhouse kick, caught Davey Boy.
29:58He goes to the cover, hooks the leg, and he got a two count.
30:01And that's all this time.
30:03We are under three minutes right now remaining.
30:06Another Irish whip, the head on.
30:09He tried to go for the drop kick, did Owen Hart.
30:11Slingshot, yes.
30:13Face first into the turnbuckle.
30:15This may be the big move that Davey Boy needed.
30:18Owen Hart now, his head being rammed into the top turnbuckle.
30:22Maybe we will see that patented running slam by the British Bulldog.
30:27He's gonna try to get him up there, look out.
30:30No, it's a cradle.
30:31He's got the suplex, and he got a near fall.
30:33Wow, boy was that close.
30:37Unique version of the suplex there, that several other athletes have used in
30:41the past.
30:42Davey Boy tried to use it there.
30:44He got a near fall out of it.
30:45He's going for a submission hold here.
30:48Gonna try to make the Reigning King quit.
30:51Going for a submission late in this contest,
30:54as we have now been informed that there are under two minutes remaining in this
31:00matchup.
31:01Very dangerous hold here.
31:03He's got a rock back, and that's when all the pressure comes.
31:06My.
31:07Yes, but watch out.
31:07His shoulders are down.
31:09His shoulders were down.
31:10Only downside to that hold, the guy that put him down.
31:13Over the cover, one, two.
31:15Holy mackerel.
31:17You gotta watch your shoulders go down when you try to use that rocket chair.
31:21A minute and a half remaining.
31:2390 seconds, the reversal of the Irish whip.
31:25Hard into the turnbuckle.
31:27Goes the British Bulldog.
31:28Owen Hart, now he's reversed.
31:30And Owen puts on the brakes.
31:32My God, he's got it right there.
31:34That's where he wanted him.
31:35Davey Boy's got him.
31:36That running power slam.
31:37It'll be over.
31:38This one is history.
31:40Wait, his foot.
31:41No.
31:42He had it.
31:42It was over.
31:43There's nowhere to go but his right foot.
31:45There you see it.
31:46What a great camera shot.
31:47His foot on the bottom rope.
31:50Foot on the ropes.
31:51Saving this match for the reigning King of Cradle.
31:55Inside cradle, one, two.
31:56And another near fall.
31:57We are under one minute remaining in this final matchup for
32:01the final bracket spot.
32:04And there he's- Yes.
32:06He got him.
32:06He got the crucifix and another near fall.
32:09Man, Owen Hart refuses to be pinned.
32:11And you can say the same thing for the British Bulldog, Davey Boy Smith.
32:15You gotta wonder, wait a minute, inside cradle again.
32:18And another near fall.
32:19And it's countered.
32:20It's countered in a two and a half.
32:22Holy mackerel, now there's only 30 seconds left.
32:25I think that in the back of their mind,
32:27both of them thinking the time is running out rapidly.
32:30He's going for the piledriver.
32:32Owen Hart is gonna try to execute the piledriver.
32:35And there's the power again.
32:37And a great move.
32:38He got it.
32:39He got another near, another near fall.
32:42Less than ten seconds remaining.
32:45Inside ten seconds.
32:48But facelock.
32:49Backslide coming up.
32:50But then there's a bell.
32:52There's a bell, forget about it.
32:53There's a bell.
32:54It is a time limit draw.
32:58Now, based on the rules, Gorilla, you've gotta win to advance.
33:02Neither man here has won.
33:04It is a time limit draw.
33:06Well, the result is very simple, Jim.
33:09Both of these guys are out as far as the king of the ring is concerned.
33:15Well, both these guys obviously will be eliminated from the King of
33:20the Ring tournament, but we still have one slot remaining.
33:24We'll take you back, ladies and gentlemen, to Struthers, Ohio.
33:27Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler standing by.
33:30And Vince, can you shed any light on this?
33:32What about the eighth and final slot?
33:35I don't know, Jim.
33:35It seems to me that Jack Tunney, as we know, is back in the locker room area.
33:39Jack Tunney is scrambling as we speak to try and
33:41make a match to come up with someone who's gonna face Razor Ramon.
33:46I was scoring on points, McMahon, I give it to Owen Hart.
33:48Well, that's you.
33:49But after all, you have to win in order to enter the King of the Ring tournament.
33:52And by the way, you're definitely gonna have your hands full.
33:55What do you mean?
33:56Or maybe your feet full, I don't know.
33:57That's right.
33:58When we come back, I'm gonna show you something very special.
34:01Special?
34:03Yeah, we'll show you Lawler's acceptance and
34:04the stipulations he put on the Kiss My Foot match.
34:09You know, ordinarily, I have these lovely ladies clean and
34:14wash my royal feet every morning.
34:17You really pamper those tender toes, don't you?
34:20But you know what?
34:22It's been a little rough as of late, hasn't it?
34:24That's right.
34:25And the reason is this.
34:27I haven't washed my feet in over two weeks.
34:30And I don't plan on washing them until after the King of the Ring tournament.
34:35Brought to Hitman Hart, you want a rematch with me?
34:41After I beat you single handedly?
34:43Well, that's fine.
34:44You got it, at King of the Ring.
34:47But it's under my conditions.
34:49And my conditions are these.
34:51The loser of this match is gonna have to get down on his hands and
34:57knees and crawl across the ring.
35:00And then in front of the entire world,
35:03he's gonna have to kiss the feet of the winner.
35:07Those are gonna be my feet, Bret Hart.
35:10And believe me, between now and the King of the Ring,
35:14I can just imagine, look at the filth, look at the dirt.
35:18There's gonna be corns, there's gonna be calluses.
35:21There may even be hammer toes.
35:22Bret Hart, I can't wait.
35:26It's gonna be the crowning moment of my entire life,
35:29when I see you pucker your lips up and have to kiss my royal feet.
35:36Stand by, everybody, yet to come, momentarily easily as we speak,
35:40the Hitman, Bret Hart.
35:42The best there is, the best there was, and perhaps the best there ever will be.
35:47We'll be back.
35:52All right, the Hitman, Bret Hart.
35:54There he is, the Hitman.
35:56Take a look at that kisser, and I do mean kisser.
36:01Get ready to pucker up, Hitman.
36:06All right, Bret Hart, did you ever,
36:11ever think that you would ever
36:15be able to kiss the feet of the winner of this match?
36:23Ever think, in your long and illustrious career,
36:26that you would ever be in a kiss my foot match?
36:30You know, I've been through a lot of things.
36:37You know, I've seen all kinds of things in my years in the World Wrestling Federation.
36:43But I knew one thing, when I allowed Jerry Lawler the opportunity
36:49to let his little sick mind come up with a match, that it would be something,
36:55you know, something really diabolical.
36:59So, I mean, there's no surprise there.
37:02Like I said, it's something that would come from a sick mind and a sick person.
37:07What about the risk that you're taking?
37:09What about the risk of humiliation?
37:11I wanna show you something special.
37:12If you lose this match, if you have to, as Jerry Lawler said,
37:16crawl on your feet over and kiss his royal feet.
37:20What about that?
37:21Look at that.
37:22What about that possible humiliation, Brett?
37:24Take a look at that foot.
37:26That'll be some humiliation, all right?
37:32All I can say is I accept the terms of the match.
37:36If I lose.
37:37You'll kiss my foot.
37:38I'll do just what I said.
37:40I'll kiss Jerry Lawler's feet.
37:42But you know something, for the past couple of weeks,
37:49all I've done is think, and I keep rolling it back in my mind.
37:55I just keep picturing it over and over and over.
37:57That's a lie, he's never had a thought in his life.
37:59Picture in my head of Jerry Lawler rolling on top of me and getting a one, two, three.
38:05And nobody remembers how it was done or why it was done.
38:08They just remember that it was done and that I lost.
38:12Hey kid, come here.
38:13Smell that.
38:13And I gotta live with the fact, I gotta get up every morning.
38:18I gotta think about, I think about how I let my mother.
38:22I gotta think about how I let my father down, my mother.
38:25Yeah, right.
38:26My entire family.
38:29When I let my fans down, I mean.
38:34Brett, can you see Jerry Lawler over here?
38:37Can you see that stinking foot he has sticking up?
38:40Take a look at this.
38:40What are you trying to prove?
38:43He said he let his whole family down.
38:44I don't know what he's saying.
38:45I really don't even care.
38:48And it'd be really easy for me to go out there right now and
38:51let out a lot of frustration.
38:52Yeah, right.
38:52Well, come on down, pucker up.
38:54But I'm gonna save it.
38:55I'm gonna hold back.
38:56Yeah.
38:57Because I wanna say one thing.
38:58I'm gonna rededicate this match.
39:03I'm gonna rededicate this match to my family, my friends, and
39:08my fans that I let down in the In Your House pay-per-view.
39:13Wait.
39:14Hey, this is not the foot he's gonna have to kiss.
39:18And although it's not the most pleasant thought to have Jerry Lawler's
39:22dirty, slimy lips kissing my feet.
39:25All right, in your dreams.
39:31I'm gonna take it one step further.
39:33Jerry Lawler, I want you to hear this loud and clear.
39:36After you finish kissing my feet, I'm gonna take those dirty feet of yours,
39:42the dirtiest one of the two of them, and I'm gonna cram it right down your throat.
39:46Jerry Lawler gets a foot in the mouth.
39:53What a tough talk.
39:56He don't scare me one bit.
39:58Bret Hart, get ready, I promise you.
40:02At King of the Ring, you'll kiss my foot.
40:07We're back, ladies and gentlemen, live from Strollers, Ohio, Monday Night Raw.
40:10And it's Pierre.
40:11And they're right there, look at this.
40:13Look at Jean-Pierre Lafitte, my goodness.
40:15What a maneuver he just put on Jerry Flynn, his opponent.
40:18And Flynn, look, stomping down on his head.
40:20Jean-Pierre Lafitte, undefeated thus far in the WWF.
40:24Jean-Pierre allegedly a direct descendant of the pirate Jean Lafitte.
40:29What do you mean allegedly?
40:31My goodness, nice move there by Flynn.
40:33You gotta admit, the guy's got a great name.
40:35Flynn, go to work with the ribs of Jean-Pierre Lafitte.
40:39Lafitte, I'm picking him to win this match.
40:42You and Lafitte, my goodness.
40:44Lafitte. And what was going on over here?
40:46Hey, listen to this one.
40:46You talk about showing disrespect to the hitman, Bret Hart, during that interview.
40:50I have no respect for Lafitte.
40:51My goodness, to the outside.
40:53You ready for this?
40:53Wait a minute, I'm ready for this.
40:55Wait a minute, listen to this, ladies and gentlemen.
40:57Wait a minute, Jean-Pierre, unbelievable.
40:59Jean-Pierre Lafitte, winner by rumor.
41:05What's he trying to do to Jerry Flynn?
41:08The same thing I'm gonna do to the hitman.
41:10Jack Tunney, the president of the World Wrestling Federation, ladies and
41:13gentlemen, during the break, just announced that next week,
41:17Lex Luger will square off against Yokozuna.
41:21And the winner of that match will face Razor Ramon.
41:24And this, we believe, hopefully will be the last King of the Ring qualifying
41:28matchup, Lex Luger and Yokozuna, who have a tremendous history.
41:32My goodness, the cannonball.
41:33The cannonball.
41:35The cover here, Jean-Pierre Lafitte victorious.
41:40Lex Luger versus Yokozuna here next week.
41:43Yes, indeed, what a matchup.
41:46Right here next week, the last King of the Ring qualifying matchup with Lex Luger,
41:53the man made in the USA in single competition against Yokozuna.
41:59What's this?
42:00Bob Backlund still outside?
42:03We're gonna see if we can't get the Bob Backlund, ladies and gentlemen,
42:05in approximately 30 seconds.
42:06Stay with us.
42:07And indeed, ladies and gentlemen, that's outside, a live shot.
42:12There's a WWF blimp.
42:14Captain Kerwin Silk, he's flying her away.
42:16And Bob Backlund, I think Bob Backlund is still out there.
42:19Ladies and gentlemen, stand up proud like me.
42:24As your president, I'm gonna guide you down the correct path.
42:28You've got that, ladies and gentlemen.
42:31And it's not gonna be easy under my rule.
42:33And I'm not a Democrat.
42:42Welcome back, everyone, to more Monday Night Raw.
42:44Vince McMahon and Jerry The King Lawler, we have had some fun here tonight in
42:47Strollers Ohio Live.
42:48Yet more to come, by the way, more to come next week.
42:50Because next week, we're gonna see Yokozuna against Lex Luger in single
42:55competition, unbelievable plus.
42:57Bam, bam, Bigelow is gonna be in action, the beast from the east.
43:00And then Man Mountain Rock is gonna be rocking the house next week.
43:04What are you doing, Jerry Lawler?
43:05All right, all right, that's all great.
43:06But the big thing that's gonna be here next week is I'm gonna do something I've
43:09never done in my entire career.
43:11I'm gonna share with the world my exclusive training video.
43:15I'm gonna show everybody how I'm training for this big match.
43:18Coming up with Bret Hart, the Kiss My Foot match.
43:19And I don't even care if Bret Hart watches.
43:21Bob Backlund is still outside, I believe.
43:23Mr. Backlund, will you be back next week?
43:25Man Mountain Rock is going to be here.
43:27Can you hear us?
43:28Did you say Man Mountain Rock was gonna be there next week?
43:31Yes.
43:31Well, definitely Mr. Backlund's gonna be there next week.
43:34Because of the cacophony that's going on in this world that Man Mountain Rock and
43:39his music has caused needs to be destroyed.
43:42And I'll fight to the end to try to do whatever I can to eliminate him from
43:47this society, his world.
43:50Ladies and gentlemen, let's take you now and
43:52show you a little of the history between Lex Luger and Yokozuna.
43:56Yokozuna, 568 pounds of Polynesian fury.
44:02Upon entering the World Wrestling Federation,
44:04the behemoth powered straight to the top.
44:07Eventually meeting then champion Hulk Hogan at the inaugural King of
44:11the Ring Spectacular.
44:12Hogan is down and here comes Yokozuna and he dropped the leg.
44:18Yokozuna covers him.
44:20Yokozuna has defeated Hulk Hogan.
44:23At that point, as WWF champion, the mighty Yokozuna launched
44:28a horrific campaign through every American athlete he could find.
44:33Culminating in his ultimate insult.
44:35Challenging any American to body slam him on the 4th of July
44:39aboard the USS Intrepid in New York Harbor.
44:43After every WWF superstar, every football player and
44:47basketball player attempted and failed.
44:51One man arrived by helicopter and made history.
44:54I can't believe it, it's Lex Luger.
44:57Yokozuna charges him and Luger sidesteps him.
45:00Luger nails him with that big forearm.
45:03Yokozuna's in a daze.
45:05Luger's got him up.
45:06He did it.
45:07The momentum of that slam propelled the now famous Lex Express Tour
45:11across America as Lex Luger campaigned for his shot on the ring
45:15at the colossal Yokozuna.
45:17That shot arrived at SummerSlam in one of the most anticipated
45:21WWF title matches of all time.
45:24Luger was the first man to win the title.
45:27Luger was the first man to win the title.
45:30Luger was the first man to win the title.
45:33Luger was the first man to win the title.
45:36The match lived up to its billing as Lex Luger knocked Yokozuna out
45:40leaving Lex with the win but Yokozuna with the title.
45:44Other chances came and went for Lex
45:47but next week an opportunity of a lifetime arrives
45:51for one half of the Allied Powers.
45:53It's Lex Luger against Yokozuna.
45:56Winner gets the coveted final spot in the King of the Ring tournament.
46:00I'll miss that matchup right here next week, ladies and gentlemen.
46:03The last spot for the King of the Ring qualifying right here.
46:06I can't wait.
46:07Get that foot out of here.
