00:00The World Wrestling Federation, for over 50 years,
00:04the revolutionary force in sports entertainment.
00:08Tonight, for the first time on international television,
00:12Lex Luger, the embodiment of the American spirit,
00:15will face the monstrous Yokozuna.
00:17At stake, the final position in the King of the Ring Tournament.
00:22But more importantly, tonight, an athlete and
00:24indeed a nation's pride is on the line as Lex Luger attempts to show Yokozuna,
00:29yet again, the American dream is alive and well.
00:33However, two summers ago, Yokozuna insulted America on her birthday,
00:38on board the USS Intrepid.
00:41No one could bodyslam the then 568-pound offender until Lex Luger arrived.
00:49It was the bodyslam heard around the world,
00:52which catapulted Lex Luger's call to action campaign.
00:56The Lex Express was on the move, and would finally stop at SummerSlam 93 for
01:01the showdown with Yokozuna and for the WWF title.
01:06Lex Luger would nail Yokozuna, knocking him through the ropes to the outside,
01:10and Lex Luger would win the match, but would not win the title.
01:14However, tonight, both men are on a collision course for
01:18a chance at a title of a different sort.
01:21Both men would like to be the king of the ring, but only one will qualify tonight.
01:27Lex Luger, the showdown's been a long time coming, but
01:29Yokozuna has to beat you tonight to qualify for the king of the ring.
01:33Only one man can be the king, so you'll be the pawn, tonight on Monday Night Raw.
01:40Yokozuna, this showdown between you and I is long overdue.
01:43It goes all the way back to the Intrepid.
01:45You constantly trying to embarrass and humiliate America.
01:47Comes to an end when we meet, right here, tonight, on Monday Night Raw.
01:52Tonight We'll look forward to The Enginner.
02:02The Enginner highlights
02:11team
02:16Yes, tonight, we'll look forward to the encounter.
02:21The last qualifying matchup that we'll see Lex Luger
02:24spread off against your Karl Zuna.
02:28What a matchup tonight on Monday Night Raw.
02:33Welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw.
02:34I'm Victor Van Oran with Jerry The King and Laura.
02:36Bob Backlund's campaign continues.
02:39Bob Backlund had stolen the eagles, allegedly,
02:42of Brock and Laura in the lobby earlier on.
02:45Let me tell you this, big man.
02:47The big news tonight is this.
02:48Never before in my illustrious and long career
02:52have I divulged my training secrets.
02:55My secrets to victory.
02:57But tonight, I'm gonna do it.
02:58I'm gonna share it.
02:59Even with Bret the Hitman Hart
03:01and all the World Wrestling Federation fans,
03:03you're gonna see footage of me in training
03:06with a Tismar foot match.
03:08Let's do it right now. Roll it.
03:09Not right now. A little bit later on,
03:11perhaps we'll get to the training footage.
03:12I want it right now. Here comes Bam.
03:15Bam Bigelow.
03:18This contest is scaled for one fall.
03:21It is a burst.
03:23One of the best in New Jersey, weighing 360 pounds.
03:26And here comes Aya, the beast from the east.
03:29He has really been on fire as of late.
03:31Bam, Bam Bigelow on his way to the square circle
03:34to kick things off tonight on Monday Night Raw.
03:39I'm looking forward to seeing those flames snuffed out.
03:41And I think that's what's gonna happen
03:42at King of the Ring, big man.
03:44We're less than two weeks away, ladies and gentlemen.
03:47Bam, Bam Bigelow on his way to the King of the Ring.
03:51Oh my goodness, yeah.
03:53Oh, wow.
03:55It's gonna be hotter than Hades at the King of the Ring.
04:00Bam, Bam Bigelow.
04:02Teaming up with Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
04:06Squaring up against Psycho Sid
04:08and Native American Tantaka.
04:10What a tag team matchup.
04:13The only question is whether or not
04:14Big Daddy Cool Diesel will be back at 100% capacity,
04:18considering the recent elbow injury
04:20suffered at the hands of Psycho Sid.
04:23Right now, Bam, Bam setting to lock up
04:25with Dwayne Gill in single competition.
04:29Wait a minute, we're told right now, ladies and gentlemen,
04:31I believe we have the World Wrestling Federation
04:33champion on the phone.
04:35Big D, are you there?
04:36Yes, I am.
04:37How you doing, Vince?
04:37All right, tremendous.
04:38The question is, what kind of shape are you gonna be in
04:41when you become the King of the Ring?
04:43Joining forces with Bam, Bam,
04:44will you be back at your normal 100% capacity?
04:48I don't know if I'll be back at 100%.
04:50I'm gonna be down close, I know that.
04:52It's coming along, the last couple of days
04:54has really kind of turned the corner with the elbow
04:56and I'm gonna be there.
04:58Well, the question is, are you pushing the envelope?
05:01Many would suggest that you're returning back to action
05:04too quickly, that indeed, if that injury
05:06is not 100% healed, it could open back up.
05:09And then again-
05:10Hey, I saw his arm, McMahon.
05:11It looked like Frankenstein's arm.
05:13Come on, Diesel, tell the truth.
05:14Hey, let me tell you something, King and Vince.
05:17Yeah, maybe I am, but that's, I mean,
05:19I'm the World Wrestling Federation champion.
05:20I've gotta be there.
05:21Bam, Bam's counting on me to be there.
05:23And I'm chomping at the bit to get ahold of Sid,
05:25so I'll have to put that aside.
05:28I'm gonna be there and I'm gonna be close to 100%,
05:30I guarantee you that.
05:31But what if, what if Sid power bombs you once again?
05:35And what if the blow on that elbow,
05:37I mean, it can open right back up.
05:39Yeah.
05:39What if I jackknife Sid?
05:42Well, we know what that result could very well be.
05:44Hey, can you hear me, Diesel?
05:46Yeah, unfortunately.
05:47Well, listen, your doctor, Dr. James Andrews,
05:50if he were any kind of doctor at all,
05:51he would install a zipper in that arm
05:53because after King of the Ring,
05:55he's gonna need to go right back in there
05:57and repair the new damage that Sid does to you.
05:59Is that right?
06:00Well, let me tell you something.
06:01He's a good doctor.
06:02I bet you, if I was to talk to you,
06:03he'd probably put a zipper on that mouth
06:04to keep you shut for the rest of the night.
06:06Oh, that'd be a great idea, yes!
06:08Although, that would be the biggest challenge
06:09Dr. James Andrews has ever had,
06:11put a zipper on the mouth of Jerry, the King Lawler.
06:13Hey, he's never closed an incision quite that large.
06:16Ha ha ha!
06:17Oh, keep talking!
06:18Oh, Bam Bam Bigelow in control at the moment.
06:22And Dwayne Gill suffering the consequences.
06:25Bam Bam and Big Daddy Cool teaming up.
06:27I would suggest, as Bam Bam now goes,
06:30wait a minute, he's going to the outside.
06:31Take a look at this, Big D is your tag team partner.
06:34Bam Bam going up to the top rope.
06:36Bam Bam Bigelow now from the top rope.
06:39No!
06:40The cover, the count, and a victory for Bam Bam Bigelow.
06:46But will Bam Bam be victorious with Big Daddy Cool Diesel,
06:50the WWF Champion in his corner at the King of the Ring?
06:53What about it, Big D?
06:54Without a doubt, Sam and I have talked
06:56and we're looking forward to it.
06:57Like I said, payback time.
06:59That's all I'm thinking about.
07:01Sounds good to me.
07:03A very confident WWF Champion, Diesel.
07:05And speaking of confidence, let's take you to now,
07:07ladies and gentlemen, a new WWF Superstar.
07:10His name is Waylon Mercy, a most unusual athlete.
07:14Hello, people.
07:16It's Waylon Mercy again,
07:18out here enjoying this peaceful surroundings,
07:22enjoying nature, enjoying these insects,
07:27enjoying this worm.
07:30But you know something, I enjoy worms,
07:34but I don't enjoy worms crawling on me.
07:38Just like when I get in that wrestling ring,
07:41I don't like wrestlers touching me
07:44and I definitely don't want them crawling on me.
07:48And if they do so, I'll tell you what's gonna happen.
07:54They're gonna get smooshed just like this worm.
08:00You know what I mean?
08:02Yeah, unfortunately, I do think we know
08:04what Waylon Mercy means.
08:05Got a nice smile.
08:06Oh, wait a minute, it's a bird, it's a plane.
08:09It's the WWF Plimp flying high above all of New York City
08:12this coming weekend.
08:13Oh, look at the moon there.
08:14On up to Boston as well.
08:16As a matter of fact, Captain Kerwin Silpies
08:18just may try and fly the blimp right on into the arena
08:21when we return, and don't forget.
08:23Coming up, Lex Luger, one-on-one
08:25against her monstrous Yokozuna.
08:28Stay tuned.
08:31Welcome to the tag team matchup for Milk Caps.
08:34It's going on backstage.
08:35The Smoking Guns against me and the Mad Capper.
08:38Sorry I can't be out in the arena with you.
08:40Take a look at what we have for you today.
08:42We have 66 Mad Caps, the hottest game out
08:45in the market right now, we have them for you.
08:48That's a complete set, by the way,
08:49and it's the only place that you can get it.
08:51In addition to that, you also get, excuse me, fellas,
08:54this 18 karat gold-plated slammer.
08:56It's the only place in the world that you can get it
08:58with the WWF logo on it.
09:00I'm not giving it to you, fellas.
09:02In addition to that, you also get
09:03the five-inch neoprene board.
09:05Also the only place in the world that you can get it.
09:08You want to take it home with you?
09:09But wait, there's more.
09:10Are you guys having a good time?
09:11We're having a great time.
09:12This is great.
09:13I'm glad you're having a good time.
09:14And by the way, fellas, if you order the collection,
09:17you get the Just Slam His Own t-shirt absolutely free.
09:201-800-TITAN91.
09:21That t-shirt looks great on Barry, doesn't it?
09:23Yeah, I'd like to just slam it.
09:24That's for you guys at ringside.
09:26All right, here we go.
09:29Ted DiBiase walking down the Money Trail.
09:31And of course, it's a brief fighting machine
09:33with that necklace around his neck.
09:35A melted down urn.
09:36Imagine the audacity of the man who would be king.
09:40Imagine King Kama.
09:42That'd be great.
09:43King Kama has a nice ring to it.
09:46Wait a minute, what's this?
09:48Undertaker fans planting a black wreath around ringside.
09:51I think Kama has spotted it.
09:53That may be symbolic of Kama's chances
09:56if he ever runs into The Undertaker one on one.
09:58This is not fair, McMahon.
09:59This is a sort of psychological warfare.
10:02This is not a preacher feature either.
10:04No, I wouldn't think so.
10:05Goes two out of here.
10:07David Haskins ready to lock up with the supreme fighting machine.
10:09Kama uses, feed his hands, all kind of wrestling skill.
10:13All the martial arts.
10:15Kama going downstairs there.
10:16Kama said to go.
10:17That creature of sort, I like it.
10:19Kama in control.
10:21Kama against, look at this.
10:23Undertaker fans, and yes, there's that black wreath again.
10:25They need to get some sun.
10:27Kama against Shawn Michaels in the opening round of the King of the Ring tournament.
10:32Ladies and gentlemen, who's gonna win the matchup?
10:34Well, my royal prediction is that Shawn Michaels' little shot at the crown
10:39is gonna be short-lived.
10:41I see.
10:42As far as your royal predictions are concerned in the Kiss My Foot match,
10:45I'd like to remind you of the grounded royal majesty.
10:49Yes, running aground, look at this, running aground off of Nantucket Island.
10:54Uh-oh, from behind, Haskins hammering away on Kama.
10:58So you think that's sort of an omen of what's gonna happen to this royal majesty?
11:01Exactly, I think he's grounded.
11:03I promise you, you wait.
11:05I guarantee you right now, Bret Hart's getting cold feet, if you know what I mean.
11:09I'm gonna make him, McMahon, into a human odor eater at King of the Ring.
11:12He's gonna taste my toes.
11:14Taste your toes?
11:15Yes. What a horrible thought.
11:17I can't believe what happened to Aldo Montoya.
11:20From points against Manor, look at this, and a costume.
11:24Unbelievable power of Kama.
11:26I got a special feat treat for you.
11:28A feat treat?
11:29Yeah, we're gonna show what happened to Aldo Montoya.
11:31I got the footage.
11:32Well, you might say that you're the Hitman's arch enemy, if you would,
11:37if you're gonna go with the footsteps.
11:39Hey, now listen to you trying to make wisecracks.
11:43You know, I got a call from David Copperfield today.
11:46Over the weekend, he paid over $100,000 for Charlie McCarthy's dummy.
11:50And now he wants to know what I want for you.
11:52Great.
11:53I can tell you, Bret won't be playing footsie with you.
11:57Keep it up, McMahon.
11:58Look at that.
11:59Uh-oh.
12:00Kama all over David Haskins.
12:03Thursday on USA, Michael Keaton whips up a hilarious recipe for housekeeping in Mr.
12:09Mom.
12:10Terry Garrett, co-stars, look at that maneuver.
12:12And the USA moving to cover the count.
12:15We're talking Thursday night at 9 o'clock, 8 central.
12:19Michael Keaton, ladies and gentlemen, in Mr. Mom.
12:22And Kama headed over to the defense about ringside undertaker fence.
12:27Who are you?
12:28You are the undertaker.
12:29What a beast.
12:30What is this?
12:31You're the undertaker.
12:32You're the undertaker.
12:33What have you done?
12:34What is this?
12:35What is this?
12:36What are you doing?
12:37You are the undertaker.
12:38They're scared stiff.
12:39You are the undertaker.
12:40You are the undertaker.
12:41You are the undertaker.
12:42You are the undertaker.
12:44Kama, not appreciating the sight of undertaker fans or the black reef.
12:50Let's take you now, ladies and gentlemen, to Todd Pettengill for the WWF King of the Ring report.
13:06Welcome everybody to your King of the Ring report here on Monday Night Raw.
13:09It's Todd Pettengill counting down to the third annual King of the Ring Spectacular
13:14exclusively on pay-per-view two weeks from last night.
13:17Totally live from the Core State Spectrum in Philly.
13:20Sunday night, June the 25th at 7 o'clock Eastern for Pacific.
13:24We're talking almost three hours of WWF excitement and action.
13:28But you won't see anything unless you call your local cable company and place your order.
13:32It's about as subtle as I get.
13:34So make the call.
13:35The main event is going to be incredible as Big Daddy Cool Diesel and Bam Bam Bigelow
13:39team up to take on Sid and Tatanka from the Million Dollar Corporation.
13:44We saw Bam Bam Bigelow earlier on tonight and we heard from Diesel on the phone.
13:48Let's get the left-hand perspective from Sid and Tatanka.
13:52Bam Bam, you and Diesel up until now have been dealing in fantasy.
13:56But at King of the Ring, you'll be dealing in reality.
13:58Sid, tell them about reality.
14:01Let's take a second.
14:02You know, people ask God the question.
14:04Right in the suffering, right before, does he take the pain away?
14:08No, he doesn't.
14:09Unlike the movie.
14:11Here comes Mr. Jordan.
14:12The angel comes and he takes the hero out right before.
14:16Right before the plane crashes.
14:18That only happens in movies.
14:20See King of the Ring, Diesel and Bam Bam.
14:23You have to face reality and you have to suffer the pain.
14:28The corporation.
14:30The corporation will kill you.
14:37Now, folks, we will also see the first ever Kiss My Foot match
14:41on a World Wrestling Federation pay-per-view
14:43as the hitman Bret Hart takes on the King Jerry Lawler,
14:47who we've had the pleasure of hearing from all night.
14:51However, apparently, he has more to say.
14:54So, let's take you back to the arena.
14:56Vince.
14:57While you're here in the Burger King chant, what's your story?
14:59Well, first of all, McMahon, let me just say this to Todd Pettengill.
15:02You know, Pettengill, every time you open your mouth, you insert your foot.
15:06Well, I got news for you.
15:07I got a foot you can use from now on.
15:10Don't get excited, Bret Hart, but take a look at this.
15:13This is just a little sample of what my foot's gonna look like,
15:16except my foot is gonna look worse.
15:18Look at that, McMahon.
15:19Stop it.
15:20What is the meaning of this?
15:21Look at the calluses and the corns.
15:23Oh, wait a minute.
15:24Maybe even a scab.
15:25Look at that.
15:26That's the nastiest-looking thing I've ever seen.
15:27I promise you, that is exact.
15:28What about how does it smell?
15:29Huh?
15:30Stop it.
15:31Bret Hart, get ready, because this is what you're gonna have to pucker up and kiss.
15:36My foot is gonna look worse than this.
15:38I promise you, Bret Hart, get ready.
15:40What do you think, McMahon?
15:42Disgusting.
15:45No, that is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen or smelled in my life.
15:51Jerry Lawler, beyond belief.
15:53Folks, let me switch gears quickly and talk about the first-round match-ups
15:57in the actual King of the Ring single elimination tournament itself.
16:01We will see the man from the dark side, the Undertaker,
16:04lock up with the dangerous 515-pound Mabel.
16:08Now, will the Undertaker claim yet another soul for the dark side,
16:12or will Mabel wrap up the man from Death Valley?
16:16Another first-round match-up pits the heartbreak kid Shawn Michaels
16:19against the million-dollar corporation's supreme fighting machine,
16:23Kama, a classic battle of speed and smarts against power and corruption.
16:29We'll also see the two-sport athlete Bob Holly
16:32battle the roadie in first-round competition,
16:35and it's anybody's guess as to who will advance in this one
16:38with two extremely talented superstars going head-to-head.
16:42Now, the final match-up will be determined here tonight on Raw.
16:46The bad guy Razor Ramon is already qualified
16:48and will meet either Made in the USA Lex Luger or the massive Yokozuna.
16:53Those two individuals with quite a sordid past
16:56will square off later here tonight on Raw
16:58in our final King of the Ring qualifying match-up.
17:01What a night it is going to be, folks.
17:03Two weeks from last night, the core state spectrum in Philly,
17:067 o'clock Eastern, 4 Pacific, and again exclusively on Pay-Per-View.
17:11Let's send you back out to ringside, and I've got to ask you, Vince,
17:14does that foot smell, too?
17:16Well, let me put it this way, Todd.
17:17You might say that I am suffering from the agony of defeat.
17:20Oh, very funny.
17:22In any event, no one can ever accuse Jerry the King Lawler of having absinthe.
17:26Oh, my goodness, what is this?
17:28Yokozuna, ladies and gentlemen, poking up for his match-up tonight.
17:32The 641-pounder.
17:36One-on-one against Lex Luger.
17:39What a match-up, and when we return,
17:41we're ready to rock the house with Man Mountain Rocks.
17:44Stay tuned.
17:46The WWF's spectacular World Tour de Force
17:49will rock your world when it comes to your town.
17:52Catch it live tomorrow in Germany
17:54as we invade the Frankehalle in Nuremberg.
17:57Next stop, June 14th at the Eichsportstadion in Mannheim.
18:01On the 15th, we hit the Gruggehalle in Essen, Germany.
18:05And on the 16th, we head into the R4 Arena in California, USA.
18:10Don't miss your chance to see the WWF's World Tour de Force.
18:14It's an international force to be reckoned with.
18:17Ladies and gentlemen, Man Mountain Rock!
18:21All right, go get him, Rock!
18:30Man Mountain Rock rocking the house here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
18:34You like that music, McMahon?
18:37Yeah, there's good rock and there's bad rock.
18:40Just like there's good feet and not-so-good feet.
18:44Well, right now, I envy my feet.
18:46You envy your feet?
18:47Yeah, they're asleep.
18:57All right, Man Mountain Rock, ladies and gentlemen,
18:59ready to lock up with his opponent, Bob Cook.
19:02Man Mountain Rock, a great rustler and accomplished musician as well.
19:05Accomplished musician?
19:07He ranks right up there with Roger Clinton, if you ask me.
19:11I don't think anyone's asking you.
19:13Man Mountain Rock.
19:14You know, we could have shown my training footage.
19:17We'll get to it a little bit later on.
19:19But those of you that have a weak stomach,
19:21you may want to use a little caution.
19:23Nice takedown there by Man Mountain Rock.
19:25By the way, Bob Backlund, out in the lobby earlier on,
19:27you can bet Bob Backlund watching this matchup last weekend.
19:31As a matter of fact, Bob Backlund-
19:32Oh, look out!
19:34Bob Backlund stating he was going to confront Man Mountain Rock
19:38and attempt to, I suppose, prevent him from continuing to play rock music.
19:43That's right.
19:44Backlund very much opposed to-
19:45The evils of rock and roll.
19:47The evils of rock and roll.
19:48You know, Ty Warner sent Bob Backlund a big campaign contribution,
19:52and Bob sent it back.
19:53He cannot be bought.
19:56Takedown into a submission.
19:57Oh, the whammy bar.
19:58What a Man Mountain Rock.
20:01Putting a hold on Bob Cook, who surrendered.
20:03By the way, congratulations to Captain Scott O'Grady.
20:07At the White House, ladies and gentlemen, earlier today,
20:10being congratulated by President Clinton.
20:12And don't forget, the man who would be president, Bob Backlund,
20:16apparently is going to confront Man Mountain Rock.
20:19I thought he might be out at ringside here.
20:21If not, I would suggest that there's going to be a confrontation
20:24back in the locker room area nonetheless.
20:27Man Mountain Rock, victorious, rocking the house.
20:30And he better not mess with Bob Backlund,
20:32because Bob Backlund will have him playing a harp instead of a guitar.
20:36All right, stand by.
20:37We'll take you to Stephanie Wyand now with a word about the WWF Hall of Fame.
20:42Hi, everyone.
20:43It's Stephanie Wyand here to update you on the World Wrestling Federation
20:46Hall of Fame induction ceremony,
20:48which happens the night before King of the Ring.
20:50Several inductees have already been announced.
20:53The late Antonina Rocca,
20:55the Big Cat Ernie Ladd,
20:57and wielder of the Polish Hammer, Ivan Putski.
21:00The first female inductee to the Hall of Fame will be the fabulous Moolah.
21:05Moolah not only exemplified grace and charm,
21:08but also held the Women's Championship for nearly 29 years.
21:12Another former WWF champion, Pedro Morales,
21:15will also join the elite Hall of Famers.
21:18Perhaps the greatest Latin wrestler of all time,
21:21fiery Pedro Morales was the first WWF superstar
21:24to win all three WWF championships.
21:28In addition, we will be inducting the late manager, the Grand Wizard.
21:32The Wizard's flashy ring attire often stole the spotlight from his own proteges.
21:37The final inductee this year will be George the Animal Steel.
21:41George was best known for his green tongue and his fixation for turnbuckles.
21:46It should be a wonderful evening.
21:48Yes, indeed, but tonight yet to come, an action-packed evening.
21:51Yes, Lex Luger against Joe Galzuna
21:54for the King of the Ring qualifying matchup.
21:56Plus, when we return, the debut of Techno Team 2000.
22:02Monday Night Raw is brought to you tonight by the U.S. Army.
22:06Learn how to get an edge on life.
22:08Be all that you can be.
22:10Welcome back, everyone.
22:12Stop it.
22:14Let's take you over now, ladies and gentlemen, to Bob Backlund.
22:16We understand Mr. Backlund is in Man Mountain Rock's locker room.
22:19This should be very interesting.
22:21A lot more interesting than that foot.
22:23Where's Rock's dressing room?
22:25Oh, this is where it all starts, right here.
22:28Hey, he just dropped a guitar.
22:30Bob Backlund just dropped Man Mountain Rock's guitar.
22:33An accident.
22:38Hey, that was no accident.
22:40That thing's slippery.
22:42That was no accident at all.
22:43Rock!
22:44The baboons don't understand.
22:47They don't understand how their appetite grows.
22:51The layman can't tell.
22:53But I'm gonna smarten them up, ladies and gentlemen.
22:56You are being surrounded by devious activity and noise
23:02that comes out of this so-called piece of machine.
23:06And I can't stand the effect that it has in our world.
23:10Our children can't think when they're in school anymore.
23:14They can't learn anything.
23:17They don't know how to read.
23:19And I can't stand people that play these kind of instruments
23:25and put this kind of medieval things in their minds.
23:30The crawling stones.
23:33What?
23:35Frozen tea.
23:37Rolling rock.
23:39You are the people that have had a deleterious effect on our society.
23:48And it's all garbage.
23:51Look at that.
23:52Garbage.
23:53Wait a minute.
23:54He just took out the cameraman.
23:55I'll save them.
23:56Phil.
23:57Unbelievable.
23:58Bob Backlund better get a hold of himself.
24:00Bob Backlund.
24:01What was that?
24:02The rolling rock and the crawling stones.
24:04He's not even informed.
24:07Well, watch.
24:09I'm going to go check on him.
24:10You think?
24:11Here comes the debut, ladies and gentlemen, of Techno Team 2000,
24:16Troy and Travis.
24:20I can't believe Bob Backlund.
24:21What was the last thing he said?
24:23I'll save us?
24:24I'll save us?
24:25Is that what he was saying?
24:26The evils of rock and rolling, man.
24:29Unbelievable.
24:32Wow.
24:33President Clinton and Newton Gingrich should have invited Bob Backlund
24:36to New Hampshire yesterday.
24:39I don't think he would have shook hands like they did.
24:42Who knows?
24:43Bob Backlund could very well put the chicken wing on Clint.
24:46That'd be great.
24:47That'd be great.
24:48Maybe even Newt.
24:50Newt's too far to the right for Bob Backlund, I think.
24:52Who knows?
24:54That guy has his shirt off.
24:56What guy is that?
24:57Troy there.
24:58Sure he has his shirt off.
25:00Troy locking up, ladies and gentlemen, with Mike Curry.
25:04Nice takedown.
25:06And we're going to try to repair the camera, ladies and gentlemen,
25:08a little bit later on and see if we cannot pick up a word from Man Mountain Rock.
25:12Wait until Man Mountain Rock finds out what happened to his guitar
25:15outside of his locker room.
25:17Well, that was an accident.
25:18An accident?
25:19That was no accident.
25:20I just hope Bob's not hurt.
25:21Hurt?
25:22Right.
25:23Oh, my goodness.
25:24If he slipped and fell and hit his head, maybe it knocked some sense into him.
25:26Look at this.
25:27Crystal.
25:28Oh, what a shot there.
25:29What a slap across Troy's face.
25:31I'm appalled.
25:32You're appalled?
25:33You could be speaking of the future president.
25:35Bob Backlund, you can't talk about him like that.
25:38Bob Backlund for president.
25:40Like we said, ladies and gentlemen, anything can happen in the World Wrestling Federation.
25:45Anything except me having to kiss Bret Hart's foot.
25:48Oh, really?
25:49That'll never happen.
25:50Uh-huh.
25:51Off the rope and Crystal down to the canvas.
25:53You know, the only thing that would be worse than having to kiss Bret Hart's foot-
25:56Is what?
25:58If you're having to kiss his mother Helen's foot, can you imagine a wrinkle on her foot?
26:03You know how when old people, when they get real old, how their toenails start to get like real thick?
26:08I bet her toenails are so thick she can hardly get them into those big black orthopedic shoes she wears.
26:13How dare you?
26:14What?
26:16Helen Hart happens to be a lovely, wonderful lady.
26:21And a lady who-
26:22What?
26:23Who gave birth to 12 children.
26:24Look at that.
26:25Oh, yeah.
26:26And coming in now, ladies and gentlemen, Travis.
26:28Now on Mother's Day, Bret Hart has to send her a sympathy card.
26:33Please, a sympathy card.
26:34He shamed her on Mother's Day.
26:36That's exactly what's going to happen to you after that matchup.
26:38Someone's going to be sending you a sympathy card.
26:39You're going to be trying to run out of the ring.
26:41It's going to be,
26:42Pete, don't fail me now!
26:43All right, yeah.
26:46It's Techno Team 2000.
26:48What about-
26:49Well, I'm just thinking, you know, they might be ready to face somebody like me in about the year 2000.
26:54Oh, the right back.
26:55Look at that maneuver.
26:56Crystal over the hip.
26:57And Travis, the legal man with Troy.
27:01And come on, ref, let's have one-on-one competition in there.
27:05Yeah, I guess.
27:06Any two men can beat one.
27:08What's this?
27:09Man Mountain Rock, ladies and gentlemen.
27:10Wait a minute.
27:11Corey with a knee to the back.
27:12Oh, hard right hand.
27:14Troy in a little trouble right now.
27:17Here's the tag.
27:18And Mike Curry coming in on Troy.
27:21Give them a little taste of their own medicine.
27:22Two on one.
27:23Double team effort.
27:24No, underneath and-
27:25Double clothesline.
27:27Tremendous maneuver there by Troy.
27:29As he tags, once again, Travis coming in.
27:32By the way, ladies and gentlemen, we will be going to the locker room.
27:35We are told that we will have.
27:36Our camera has been repaired.
27:38And we will pick up some comments from Man Mountain Rock.
27:40I would imagine he's not too happy about what happened outside his locker room.
27:44Man Mountain Rock-
27:45Oh, no!
27:46Why didn't he come out face back?
27:47Apparently in the shower, but he is out there now.
27:50And apparently mad as a hornet.
27:52Come on, ref, get control of this matchup.
27:54And double team effort again on Mike Curry.
27:56He was in the shower.
27:58Yeah.
27:59I don't know if I'd buy that.
28:01Your feet could stand a little shower right about now.
28:04A little bathed, if you would.
28:06That's not what you smell.
28:07I think your roll-on's rolled on.
28:09Wait a minute.
28:10From the top rope.
28:11Beautiful maneuver.
28:13Uncover all count.
28:14And Travis takes the victory.
28:18Travis and Troy, Techno Team 2000.
28:22Successful in their Monday Night Raw debut.
28:24These two youngsters attempting to make a name for themselves here,
28:27tonight, on Monday Night Raw.
28:29And warming up, ladies and gentlemen,
28:31Max Splugger, ready to lock up with Yokozuna.
28:35However, right now, that's taking up, believe it or not,
28:38Man Mountain Rock, back in the locker room area.
28:41Rock can hear us.
28:42I can't believe he did it.
28:45Rock?
28:46I can't believe he broke it.
28:49It's an accident.
28:51Man Mountain Rock.
28:52Backlund, now it's personal.
28:56I will deal with you.
29:00Man Mountain Rock will deal with Bob Backlund, ladies and gentlemen,
29:03and Yokozuna will deal with Max Splugger.
29:06Just a King of the Ring qualifying matchup.
29:10Sid and Tatanka.
29:12In preparing to battle Bam Bam and The Big Man,
29:15they'll take on this dynamic duo,
29:18The Head Shrinkers.
29:20A victory against this terrible twosome
29:22will reestablish them among the tag team elite.
29:26Sid and Tatanka battle The Head Shrinkers
29:29next week on Monday Night Raw.
29:33What a combative tag team matchup, ladies and gentlemen.
29:35It's gonna be right here next week on Monday Night Raw.
29:38But right now, yes, Jim Cornette
29:41fanning the flames of this extraordinary athlete.
29:45And make no mistake about the athletic prowess of one Yokozuna.
29:49Now listed, Jerry Lawler, at 641 pounds.
29:55Wow.
29:56Yokozuna would like to be in the King of the Ring brackets.
29:59And there you see it, ladies and gentlemen.
30:00Mabel one-on-one against The Undertaker.
30:03Followed by Shawn Michaels against the Supreme Fighting Machine,
30:06comma, Bob Holly one-on-one with The Roadie.
30:10And Razor Ramon, ladies and gentlemen,
30:12will meet the winner of this particular matchup,
30:14assuming there is a winner,
30:15between Yokozuna and Lex Luger.
30:18And by the way, Razor Ramon,
30:20unfortunately injured this past weekend in Long Island
30:24at the Nassau County Coliseum
30:26with the real bad ribs.
30:28We'll have a further update, hopefully,
30:29before we leave the air on Razor Ramon's condition.
30:32It is questionable as to whether or not
30:33Razor will be in condition
30:36to even appear at the King of the Ring of this juncture
30:38to face the winner.
30:40We'll wait and find out.
30:41But here it comes now, ladies and gentlemen.
30:45Yes, made in the USA.
30:47Being led to the ring by wrestler Scott Anton.
30:51From Atlanta himself,
30:53a young man who has idolized Lex Luger for many a year
30:56and marrying what Lex Luger stands for.
30:59And tonight, Lex Luger has an opportunity
31:02to settle a score once and for all
31:04with this monstrous, mighty Yokozuna.
31:08The only thing I'm trying to figure out is
31:10where in the world are we gonna get a royal robe
31:12big enough to fit King Yokozuna?
31:15Lex Luger!
31:19Fireworks, unabashedly American.
31:22Unabashedly standing behind Old Glory itself.
31:25Lex Luger, one-on-one with Yokozuna.
31:30Luger hoping to get off on the right foot here
31:32in this matchup with Yokozuna.
31:34King of the Ring qualifying match.
31:36On the right foot.
31:38I love it, big man.
31:40You can't get that bone out of here.
31:42Smell this, just smell it.
31:44All right, you're asking for it
31:46and Bret Hart's gonna give it to you.
31:48The King of the Ring for sure.
31:50Wish that guy with that flag would come over here
31:52and stick this foot in his nose.
31:54All right, it's time to get raw.
31:57It's time to get down to business for sure.
31:59Lex Luger.
32:01We saw the footage earlier of Luger
32:03knocking Yokozuna out at SummerSlam.
32:06Lex Luger with what Yoko called a loaded forearm.
32:09You will recall the steel plate in Lex Luger's forearm.
32:12Put there, yes, there you go.
32:14Listen to this.
32:17That steel plate surgically implanted
32:20in the forearm of Lex Luger by Dr. James Andrews,
32:23the same doctor who reconstructed
32:25WWF champion Diesel's elbow as well.
32:28Hey, wait a minute.
32:30What?
32:32You know what we better do before King of the Ring?
32:34We better have Diesel run through
32:36one of those metal detectors at the airport.
32:38He may have implanted something in his arm, too.
32:40That's not fair.
32:42Lex Luger against this monster.
32:46If Yokozuna gets any bigger,
32:48you can take WWF on his side,
32:50fly him over these buildings.
32:52That might be a bit difficult.
32:54But speaking of getting someone up in the air,
32:56Lex Luger the only man to have ever body-slammed Yokozuna.
32:59But that was on board the USS Intrepid
33:02back when he weighed a little over 500 pounds.
33:06Lex Luger hammering away.
33:08Luger.
33:10Well, that's serious. The right hand's off.
33:12They're up and underneath the roundhouse.
33:14Lex Luger caught and slammed by Yokozuna.
33:16Jump on him. Squash him right now.
33:18Lex Luger, ladies and gentlemen, on the canvas and move.
33:20Oh, he just barely gets out of the way.
33:22Luger winding up.
33:24Yokozuna trying to do something
33:26with that left arm and shoulder.
33:28Yokozuna wound up by the man made in the USA.
33:32Now to the wrist area.
33:34I have to admit, McMahon, Yokozuna is phenomenal.
33:37Even at 641 pounds, when he missed that elbow,
33:40he was back up on his feet like lightning.
33:42Yes, no question about it.
33:44Yokozuna, an unbelievable competitor,
33:46and unquestionably the heaviest competitor in WWF history.
33:50He was weighed over in Singapore
33:52during the World Tour de Force on the cargo room.
33:55My goodness, scales at 641, as we said before.
33:59Luger back to the wrist. Go with what works for you.
34:01Into the arm bar now.
34:03Lex Luger knows he has to get the big man down on the canvas
34:06and keep him there.
34:08641 pounds.
34:10Pretty soon you're gonna have to be taking his picture by satellite.
34:13Winding up the wrist area again.
34:16Lex Luger.
34:18Yokozuna backing Luger to the corner.
34:20Yokozuna yet to use his weight to his advantage.
34:24Forearm to the chest area.
34:26Yoko now.
34:28Uh-oh, no, nice block by Lex.
34:30And now Luger to midsection.
34:32And it's Yokozuna.
34:33That first to the buckle repeatedly by Lex Luger.
34:36Luger down.
34:37Hair pulling.
34:38Come on, referee.
34:40And Yokozuna might beat Lokozuna.
34:44After that exchange, a right hand.
34:46And Yokozuna following it around to the outside.
34:50This was the way Lex Luger won the previous encounter
34:54at SummerSlam when Yokozuna was knocked out
34:56when Luger nailed him with the forearm.
34:58I guess so.
34:59I felt that the whole building shook when he hit the floor.
35:02Lex Luger does not want to win this match via count out.
35:05He wants to pin Yokozuna.
35:08Get him up, Cornette.
35:11Jim Cornette, the manager on the outside.
35:13Trying to keep Luger away and trying to get Yokozuna back to his feet.
35:20Yokozuna with a rather dazed look in his face.
35:22Ladies and gentlemen, you know that Razor Ramon is looking on
35:25with the injured ribs.
35:26Razor saying to himself, if Yokozuna wins this thing,
35:29what happens if he bonsais me down in the chest
35:32at the King of the Ring?
35:33That's exactly what he's thinking.
35:35He'd be a pancake, and he knows it.
35:37He's got to be pulling as hard as he can right now for Lex Luger.
35:40Bit of advice on the part of Mr. Fuji.
35:42Yokozuna listening to the official now,
35:45taking his time getting back in.
35:47Lex Luger pondering what sort of strategy will it take
35:51to once and for all defeat Yokozuna.
35:55Listen to the chant.
35:56This partisan crowd very much behind Lex Luger.
35:59Luger now with Yokozuna hammering away on the side of the head.
36:06And Yokozuna shoving Lex Luger off.
36:10You better get out of there, Yokozuna.
36:12A missing leg.
36:13Lex Luger set him up for that one.
36:16Can Lex Luger body slam Yokozuna?
36:18Will we see that in this matchup?
36:20Will we see Lex Luger nail Yokozuna with a forearm?
36:24Knock him out and pit him in the middle of the ring.
36:26You've got to be kidding me, McMahon.
36:28We're talking about 641 pounds.
36:31And Mr. Fuji distracting Lex Luger.
36:33Wait a minute.
36:34Don't be distracting Lex Luger from the blind side.
36:38Yokozuna all over Lex Luger now.
36:41Yokozuna, a series of right hands.
36:43Come on, ref, get in there.
36:44Yokozuna pouring it on.
36:45Look at this.
36:46Repeatedly.
36:47Come on.
36:48Get control of this match.
36:51Mr. Fuji running the flag.
36:56Yokozuna, the man with the momentum.
36:59Regardless of the chance of his capacity crowd.
37:02And Lex Luger is in some trouble.
37:04Make no mistake about it.
37:06Come on, ref.
37:07Put your weight on him.
37:08Put your weight on him.
37:09This matchup continues when we return.
37:12Stay with us.
37:15We're back with more WWE action.
37:17And Yokozuna is still maintaining his control over Lex Luger.
37:19Wait a minute.
37:20Luger now with a succession of elbows.
37:22Breaks the hold.
37:23Lex coming off the rope underneath the roundhouse.
37:25Lex Luger.
37:26Uh-oh.
37:27Back down to the canvas.
37:28Yokozuna right back in control.
37:30Yokozuna, the dominating force here in the World Wrestling Federation.
37:34He and Mr. Fuji hoping for victory here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
37:38Hoping to qualify for the King of the Ring tournament.
37:41And by the way, conspicuous by his absence is Owen Hart back in the locker room as well
37:46as the British Bulldog, Davey Boy Smith, Jack Tunney, the president of the WMF,
37:51put his foot down for sure and said, uh-uh, no outside interference.
37:54He did what?
37:55He put his foot down.
37:56That's exactly what I'm going to do, McMahon.
37:59I'm going to put my foot right down Bret Hart's throat.
38:02Wait a minute.
38:03Look out.
38:04Here he comes.
38:05And no.
38:06Nobody there.
38:07Lex Luger moving out of the way just in the nick of time.
38:09And Luger back with those series of right hands to the chest area of Yokozuna.
38:13Watch it, man.
38:14No.
38:15Off the rope again.
38:16Another tackle on Yokozuna.
38:18Barely budged by Lex Luger.
38:20Wait a minute.
38:21Will we see the forearm?
38:22Hey.
38:23Up down to Lex Hannel.
38:25Lex Luger now has Yokozuna rocked.
38:28Down goes.
38:29No.
38:30Look at Luger.
38:31He's frantic.
38:32He can't believe he can-
38:33Yokozuna's still on his feet.
38:34You can't knock this man down.
38:37What does Lex Luger have to do to get Yokozuna down?
38:40Luger now going up to the second rope and-
38:42Lex Luger lands in Yokozuna.
38:46He got him.
38:47Lex Luger with Yokozuna down on the canvas.
38:49Go ahead.
38:50Give him that forearm.
38:51No way.
38:52Hey, wait a minute.
38:53What?
38:54Mr. Fuji's coming over to the flag bearer.
38:56Scott Antole.
38:57Watch this.
38:58He yanks the flag.
38:59Mr. Fuji with a chop.
39:01Stop.
39:02And Lex Luger coming over.
39:03Hey, wait a minute.
39:04Get that flag away from-
39:05Stay out of it, Luger.
39:06Fuji has the American flag in his hand.
39:08Mr. Fuji distracting Lex Luger.
39:10Come on, Cornette.
39:11Cornette.
39:12Watch Cornette.
39:13Hey, wait a minute.
39:14Turn around.
39:15Lex Luger, look out.
39:16From behind, Cornette coming up with a tennis racket.
39:18Oh, my goodness.
39:20Down goes Cornette.
39:22Lex Luger grabs the flag away from Mr. Fuji.
39:26Brings it back to Scott.
39:28Hold it up high.
39:30Wait a minute.
39:31No.
39:32Here comes Yokozuna.
39:33Oh, no.
39:34Right into the ring post.
39:35That's it right there.
39:37What's he doing?
39:38Yokozuna.
39:40Drops his leg across the head of Lex Luger.
39:45And the official is counting both men.
39:49Get in.
39:50Yokozuna rolling back into the ring.
39:52Oh, no.
39:54Come on.
39:55Get out.
39:56Lex Luger.
39:58Unfortunately, has been-
40:00That's it.
40:01That's it.
40:02Can you believe this?
40:03That is it.
40:04The winner of the match.
40:05Yokozuna has won this matchup.
40:08As a result of a count out.
40:10Yokozuna will face Razor Ramon.
40:14And the king of the ring.
40:16And what an excruciating defeat.
40:18On the part of Lex Luger.
40:20Look at right.
40:21Look at.
40:22If Yokozuna's tight, you can actually see the face print of Lex Luger.
40:26He got right across.
40:27That was it.
40:28Lex Luger distracted by Mr. Fuji.
40:31Lex getting the flag away from Mr. Fuji.
40:34And the process was counted out.
40:37As a result of this monster.
40:40We're back with a victorious Yokozuna.
40:42Yokozuna headed to the king of the ring.
40:44Razor Ramon certainly can't be too happy about that.
40:46And Lex Luger unquestionably must be distraught.
40:49As a result of a defeat of one Yokozuna.
40:52There you see him qualifying.
40:53The bracket's full now, ladies and gentlemen.
40:55One of these men will be the king of the ring.
40:57What's that?
40:58Speaking of defeat.
40:59Those are my lovely feet.
41:01Now, let's.
41:02Come on.
41:03Let's take a look at the training footage.
41:04When we return.
41:06Welcome back, everyone.
41:07Ladies and gentlemen.
41:08Next week.
41:09Right here.
41:10Don't worry about next week.
41:11Come on.
41:12Let's show him my training footage.
41:13Right now.
41:14We're going to get to it.
41:15The Undertaker will join us.
41:16That's great, McMahon.
41:17That's big news.
41:18But the big news is.
41:19My training footage.
41:20Show it now.
41:21And also joining us in action.
41:23Ladies and gentlemen.
41:24The heartbreak kid.
41:25Shawn Michaels is going to be here.
41:26What are you trying to do, McMahon?
41:28Sure.
41:29Shawn Michaels is great.
41:30But everybody wants to see my training footage.
41:32And tag team action.
41:33Ladies and gentlemen.
41:34You're going to see Sid.
41:35Teaming up with Native American Tataka.
41:37Against the Head Shrinkers.
41:38All that and more.
41:39Next week.
41:40Are we ever going to.
41:42Are we ever going to get to see the training footage?
41:44All right.
41:45Here we go.
41:46Let's take a look at Jerry the King Lawler.
41:47What?
41:48In the special training footage.
41:49What's this?
41:50Bret Hart.
41:51Are you getting ready for our big match?
41:53At the King of the Ring?
41:54Huh?
41:55Are you down in the dungeon with your old man Stu Hart?
41:57Wrestling around?
41:58Well, not me.
41:59I'm here in my royal stables.
42:01With my prize horse, Prince.
42:03He's helping me get ready.
42:04And you know how he's doing it?
42:06He's letting me walk around in his stall with my bare feet.
42:11And I'm not going to wash these feet, Bret Hart.
42:13Not until after our match.
42:15Not until after you've had to bend down on your hands and knees.
42:18And crawl across that ring after I've beaten you.
42:21And then, in front of the entire world, Prince.
42:23He's going to have to pucker up those lips.
42:25And he's going to have to kiss my filthy, dirty, nasty, royal feet.
42:33It's going to be great.
42:35Now, ladies and gentlemen, that was disgusting, to put it mildly.
42:38Walking around in manure.
42:40Give me a break.
42:41But, ladies and gentlemen, you're not going to believe this.
42:43What?
42:44This past weekend, in a match-up of single competition,
42:47it was Aldo Montoya.
42:49This young man making a name for himself here in the WWF.
42:51One-on-one with Jerry The King Lawler.
42:54And what you saw before is nothing compared to what you're about to see.
42:59Come on, McMahon.
43:00This is a royal treat for the Beyoncé.
43:01You're about to see how my training is paying off.
43:04Watch this.
43:05Typical fashion of Jerry The King Lawler beating the bell there.
43:08Attacking.
43:09And look at that.
43:10It was Lawler on the receiving end pretty much all the way through this match-up.
43:14I thought you weren't going to show this part.
43:16And Aldo Montoya was taking it to Jerry The King Lawler.
43:19Just as the Hitman Bret Hart is going to do at the King of the Ring.
43:24I was just letting him get the big head.
43:25Get overconfident.
43:27Before I gave him the big foot.
43:30What you will see, ladies and gentlemen.
43:31Oh, there it was.
43:32Yeah.
43:33Jerry Lawler, a suckeriness.
43:34Watch this.
43:35Don't show this.
43:36Don't show this.
43:37Yes.
43:38Right into the ring post.
43:39Don't show this.
43:40Oh, yeah.
43:41Aldo Montoya with tremendous momentum.
43:43Aldo, I believe, proved unquestionably he was a superior wrestler.
43:47But then from there, The King backdrop.
43:50Aldo with yet even more momentum.
43:52But what you're about to see would make a podiatrist regurgitate.
43:57Come on, McMahon.
43:58What you're about to see is going to be unbelievable.
44:00Is there?
44:01The backdrop is set up.
44:02Here it is.
44:03The pile driver.
44:04Oh.
44:05Could that happen to Bret Hart?
44:07Could Bret Hart beat pile drive?
44:09Could Jerry The King Lawler embarrass Bret Hart as he did this youngster,
44:14Aldo Montoya?
44:15Oh, he's making a big foot there.
44:18Watch now.
44:20And now, you peons.
44:24There they are.
44:25It's pathetic.
44:27Bret Hart imitation is going to have to do what Bret Hart's going to have to do.
44:32Yeah, this is great.
44:33He's going to have to kiss my royal foot.
44:37And then the unthinkable happened.
44:40As Lawler unzipped that boot, the stench coming out, ladies and gentlemen.
44:44You could smell it all the way out to the fifth row.
44:47It was not exactly going to be foot joy for Aldo Montoya.
44:51Don't be callous, McMahon.
44:53Look at this.
44:54Now, let me use my royal king's clicker and go back and forth.
44:57Look.
44:58There you go.
44:59He is kissing my foot.
45:00And watch this, McMahon.
45:02He's going to taste a little.
45:03Ooh, look at that.
45:04Do it again.
45:05Show it again.
45:06Taste the toe jam.
45:07I got a toe jam sandwich for you too, Bret Hart.
45:10You're going to get it at King of the Ring.
45:12Ooh, look at this, McMahon.
45:13Don't you love it?
45:14This is the most revolting footage ever on Monday Night Raw.
45:17Footage.
45:18Footage.
45:19New dimension to the term raw.
45:21Let's get out of here.
45:22Let's go.
45:23Let's go.
45:24Let's go.
45:25Let's go.
45:26Let's go.

45:40Let's go.
45:41Let's go.
45:42Let's go.
45:43Let's go.
45:44Let's go.
45:45Let's go.
45:46Let's go.
45:47Let's go.
45:48Let's go.

45:50Let's go.
