00:00This could very well be one of the more momentous Raw that we've had some
00:05memorable ones in the past.
00:07Yes, indeed, this one is one for the bucks.
00:10Welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw, Vince McMahon and Jerry The King Lawler.
00:15Take a look right up in the ring right now, McMahon.
00:17You've got Yokozuna and the British Bulldog guided by Jimmy Cornette.
00:22They're fixing to face off against none other than the two dudes with attitude.
00:26You got that right.
00:27Shawn Michaels and Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
00:30How do you top that, McMahon?
00:31You know how?
00:32You top it with the WWF title at stake a little bit later.
00:37The Undertaker trying to take it all from Bret the Hitman Hart.
00:41It's gonna be great.
00:42The rematch from Royal Rumble is on right here tonight on Raw, ladies and
00:46gentlemen.
00:47I can't wait.
00:47Boy.
00:49All right, here we go.
00:51Here comes the most flamboyant, the most resilient WWF superstar in the world today.
00:56The 1996 Royal Rumble winner, there he is.
01:00Shawn Michaels along with Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
01:05Two dudes with attitude and two former WWF Tag Team Champions.
01:11Listen to this ovation.
01:12Listen, you can feel this electricity in the crowd.
01:16And this tag team of Diesel and Shawn Michaels, I might add,
01:20Jerry The King Lawler, have never been defeated.
01:24Yeah, that's right.
01:25They got a tremendous win streak, but
01:27that's gonna come to a screeching halt right here tonight.
01:29You're gonna see history.
01:30Everybody out there watching Raw tonight is gonna see the first defeat of Shawn
01:34Michaels and Big Daddy Cool.
01:36I've been assured that by James E.
01:38Cornett.
01:39Yes, well, James E.
01:39Cornett also assured us there was no dissension among the ranks between
01:43Yokozuna, Owen Hart, and the British Bulldog.
01:46However, as we take you back to last week,
01:49here it is, Diesel against the British Bulldog and Yokozuna.
01:53My goodness, and that was it all.
01:57All right, take a look at this, King, if you would.
01:59Later on that night.
02:00Yes, it was Shawn Michaels one on one against Yokozuna.
02:03Owen Hart comes in, he's gonna help out.
02:06No, there you saw it.
02:08And if that didn't create dissension among the ranks, I don't know what will,
02:11Jerry Lawler.
02:11Well, I think you will, McMahon.
02:13You're just trying to stir it.
02:14You're trying to keep that pot boiling, and
02:16let's just let it calm down a little bit.
02:18Yeah, well, it's not about to calm down here tonight on Raw, no way.
02:21Shawn Michaels and Big Daddy Cool.
02:24Two dudes with attitudes, you can bet.
02:25The British Bulldog and Yokozuna, unquestionably,
02:27have an attitude of sorts as well.
02:29What are they doing?
02:31Well, rock, paper, scissors.
02:32We're gonna find out who starts this thing off.
02:33Yeah, the rocks are in their heads.
02:35Shawn Michaels, by the way, recently on the Jenny Jones show, ladies and gentlemen.
02:39And on his way to the NBA Jam this coming week.
02:43That in hometown of San Antonio, Michaels is gonna rock the house.
02:47Boy, he's got a lot of big plans, you know?
02:50I guess he figures you can build a reputation on what you're going to do.
02:53He may not survive this match tonight.
02:56Well, that much is certain.
02:57You know, you never can tell what's gonna happen in the World Wrestling Federation.
03:00The British Bulldog back up.
03:01Here's another double bicep, and a round of boos.
03:03Although he's a very impressive athlete, no question of it.
03:07Wait a minute, I think we're, here's the counter.
03:09Listen to this, yeah.
03:12Big deal, McMahon.
03:14He may be prettier, but he's not as powerful as the Bulldog.
03:17By the way, the recent surge in general warning about couch potatoes.
03:20Apparently being a couch potato is harmful to your health, King.
03:22I think it was related to you specifically.
03:24To me?
03:25You got it, standing side headlock now starting to match off the British Bulldog.
03:28Coming off the rope, Michaels down to the canvas.
03:30Two tremendous athletes in there, and what power the British Bulldog has asserted here.
03:35And look at Cornette.
03:36Headed the other way.
03:37Cam Cornette in a bit of trouble here.
03:39Hoping to get back on the winning track here tonight on Raw.
03:43The British Bulldog, along with the mighty Yokozuna.
03:46A tremendous tag team combination.
03:49The brawn, and of course the brains of Jim Cornette.
03:51Anything can happen.
03:52What kind of strategy does the Bulldog and Yokozuna have to have in order to
03:57defeat the undefeated Shawn Michaels and Big Daddy Cool Diesel?
04:01Well, look at the size of the Bulldog's arms.
04:02If I were him, I'd just snatch that Shawn Michaels by that long stringy hair of his,
04:06swing him around a few times, and throw him in about the 15th row out there.
04:10I see.
04:10The Bulldog set up for the ride.
04:12Coming off the rope, hit.
04:13Blocked, actually.
04:14Another attempt, blocked.
04:15That'll do it.
04:17Michaels on his feet, shot.
04:20Look at that, unbelievable.
04:22In a raggedy face, Michaels now back up on his feet,
04:24driving the Bulldog to the ropes, and- Hooking the rope to the British Bulldog.
04:27Here comes Michaels, post line out and over.
04:30Nicely done.
04:31Wait a minute, Yokozuna coming up from behind.
04:34The British Bulldog.
04:35The Bulldog's having difficulty, but Shawn Michaels, hammered by Yokozuna.
04:40Michaels set up, wait a minute, Big Daddy, cool, Diesel, catch it, yeah, no.
04:44Michaels chopped off by the mighty Yokozuna, who has no business being in there.
04:48But now, Diesel has no business being in there as well.
04:51Three men in the ring, the Bulldog on the other side, trying to get back in.
04:54He's the legal man.
04:55Yokozuna now, on the outside.
04:58Yeah, I can tell you right now,
04:59I'm beginning to see the strategy of the two dudes with attitude.
05:02And what might that be?
05:03If you realize you can't win fairly, cheat.
05:06That's all Michaels and Diesel are doing.
05:07Raking the eyes, double teaming, using the fist.
05:10I see a page from Jerry The King Lawler's cheat book, yeah.
05:13What?
05:14No way.
05:14By the way, ladies and gentlemen, later on tonight, you're gonna see, yes,
05:17the World Wrestling Federation Championship up for grabs.
05:20A rare opportunity here tonight on Raw.
05:23The Undertaker against Bret, the Hitman Hart.
05:26Bret Hart insisting, despite the protest of Diesel,
05:30that this title match occur here tonight.
05:32Plus, despite the threat of legal action,
05:35we're gonna show you the conclusion of Billionaire Ted's press conference.
05:38I wanna ask you this now.
05:39Did Ted Turner really make those comments about his father?
05:42Absolutely.
05:43Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
05:46That's coming up later on.
05:47Tag is made now.
05:48It's gonna be Yokozuna against Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
05:52This is what I've been waiting for right now.
05:54Here we go.
05:56Look at the size of this man.
05:59Yokozuna, Big Daddy Cool, look at, my goodness.
06:03Here we go, here we go.
06:04Neither individual playing the other.
06:05Strike first ensuing.
06:07Diesel Yokozuna going at it.
06:09Diesel with a clothesline.
06:10Yokozuna's rocking on the clothesline.
06:12The 600 plus pounder, what a maneuver.
06:16That was devastating.
06:18That was devastating.
06:20Yokozuna setting up.
06:21What's this?
06:22Look at it, no.
06:24Diesel moving out of the way just in the nick of time.
06:27Diesel Yokozuna going at it here tonight on Raw.
06:30As we look at this double feature now.
06:31Look at that maneuver by Yokozuna.
06:34Yeah, that was devastating for Diesel.
06:36Having the presence of mind to tag in the heartbreak kid Shawn Michaels now.
06:40Here we go, Yokozuna.
06:41Shawn Michaels, the mighty Yokozuna.
06:43Michaels with a shot.
06:44Wait a minute, Bulldog has pulled the top rope down.
06:46Look at this, Michaels onto the outside.
06:49The British Bulldog pulled the top rope down, Michaels in trouble.
06:52I didn't see that.
06:53The Bulldog with Shawn Michaels, and no.
06:58And this is nothing compared to what Owen Hart's gonna do to him.
07:01You can bet Owen Hart is watching every second of this matchup,
07:04thinking about the next In Your House.
07:07Michaels against Owen Hart.
07:11In Your House, Michaels puts it all up for grabs.
07:14The number one spot of contention going to WrestleMania.
07:18And Shawn Michaels is in big time trouble.
07:21Yeah, look at that.
07:23Double team effort.
07:24Michaels now against the British Bulldog.
07:27Not only does Shawn Michaels look forward to the matchup In Your House in less than
07:32two weeks against Owen Hart, Big Daddy Cool Diesel, of course, in that Steel Cage match.
07:36Here we go. Against the Hitman Bret Hart for the WWF title, and, no.
07:42Michaels way up, and what goes up must come crashing down.
07:48Let me ask you this, Big Man.
07:49What happens to that big match with Diesel if Bret the Hitman Hart were to somehow
07:53lose his title to The Undertaker here tonight?
07:56Well, look, it ended up here at the WWF, but what if Bret Hart is successful?
07:59What if Bret then loses the title in the Steel Cage match In Your House to Big Daddy
08:03Cool Diesel?
08:03Then it's Diesel, perhaps, versus Shawn Michaels in a rematch of last year's
08:08WrestleMania.
08:08All I know is that I remember The Undertaker said it'll be a cold day in hell
08:12before Diesel is champion again.
08:14Diesel coming around, protesting, because of double team effort on the far side.
08:18Look at this.
08:19Look at this.
08:20Will Cam Cormack defeat the two dudes with attitudes?
08:24Yokozuna with a hard right hand, and Michaels yet in more trouble.
08:28Welcome back, everyone, to more Monday Night Raw.
08:30Did you see that, Big Man?
08:30I think I saw Shawn Michaels' tooth fly out.
08:33Yokozuna has been dominating Shawn Michaels.
08:36Yeah, and you know why, don't you?
08:37Why? He's trying to get back on Cornette's good side.
08:39He's trying to really impress James E here tonight, because, well,
08:42let's face it, Yokozuna messed up last week.
08:45Messed up last week?
08:46What about at the Royal Rumble?
08:47Yokozuna and Vader flying over the top rope at the same time.
08:53Thanks in part to Shawn Michaels, and
08:55Vader had a 24-hour career here in the World Wrestling Federation.
08:59You talk about messing up.
09:01Vader really messed up when he put his hands on interim president,
09:04Gorilla Monsoon.
09:05Well, we haven't heard the last of that, because I happen to know that as we speak,
09:09James E Cornette has his master attorney, Clarence Mason,
09:12working on that situation right this minute, Big Man.
09:14We will be hearing from Clarence Mason, I'm told, during this broadcast,
09:18as well as the one and the only Gorilla Monsoon.
09:22But right now, Yokozuna unquestionably ingratiating himself with James E Cornette
09:28and the British Bulldog as we speak.
09:30The mighty Yokozuna all over Shawn Michaels.
09:33Look at the size of Yokozuna.
09:35I heard Yokozuna came out Saturday on Groundhog Day.
09:37They saw his shadow and predicted six more years of winter.
09:41Michaels having great difficulty with Yokozuna,
09:45much like he is likely to with Owen Hart.
09:48In your house, in which Michaels puts up the most coveted prize,
09:52which he won at the Royal Rumble, the right to face the WWF champion,
09:56whomever that might be, at WrestleMania.
09:59In your house, in less than two weeks' time, here comes the British Bulldog.
10:05And a partisan crowd on hand here on Crossplay.
10:08They do not like the British Bulldog, or for that matter, Yokozuna.
10:11And unfortunately, Michaels is being pummeled.
10:13And look, the crowd is getting a Digby boy.
10:15We gotta shut these morons up.
10:17I'm gonna go over there, McMahon.
10:19Unfortunately, I think the crowd inciting Digby boy is making him even more
10:22ferocious, especially with the clothesline coming off it.
10:25He didn't miss then.
10:26What a knee to the midsection.
10:27That was terrific.
10:28A tremendous competitor in every sense of the word, the British Bulldog.
10:33Two handfuls of hair and Michaels down on the canvas again.
10:36I've been waiting for that.
10:37I've been waiting for that all night.
10:39Pull that stringy hair right out of his head.
10:41Digby boy, look at this.
10:42What a show off.
10:43Man, what a show off.
10:44What do you mean?
10:45What agility?
10:46What grace?
10:48This guy's terrific.
10:48All right, he's terrific as far as athleticism is concerned.
10:51No, no, no.
10:52Here comes Yokozuna.
10:54Back in, double headbutt.
10:56And thus far, Yokozuna and the British Bulldog, their strategy is working.
11:01They are keeping Michaels away from tagging that seven foot monster
11:05on the other side of the ring.
11:06Michaels with a right hand in the midsection.
11:08Another one.
11:08Michaels, look at this.
11:09Yokozuna says, come on, bring it on.
11:11No.
11:12And Yokozuna begins to pummel Shawn Michaels, scoops him up and slams him.
11:16Yes.
11:16No.
11:17Here he comes.
11:18This is it.
11:19And no.
11:20Michaels moving out of the way just in the nick of time.
11:22Michaels must tag Diesel.
11:24He must make the tag.
11:26Yokozuna and the British Bulldog have been double teaming Shawn Michaels.
11:30They've been wearing him down.
11:31They've been pummeling Michaels.
11:33Michaels must make the tag.
11:35It's who can function the best in a coordinated effort.
11:38Listen to this crowd.
11:40Come on, Yokozuna, you've got to get to the British Bulldog.
11:44Come on, you can do it.
11:46Look at Diesel.
11:47He's pretending like he wants in there.
11:48Pretending like he wants to tag Shawn Michaels.
11:50I don't think he really wants in there, McMahon.
11:51I think there's really dissension on that team, too.
11:54Michaels trying to get over that massive heap of humanity.
11:58Michaels makes the tag.
12:00As you were saying, King.
12:01Here it comes.
12:02Big Daddy, high right hand.
12:04A battle line.
12:05Yokozuna's run by the big monster, Diesel.
12:08Yokozuna back, look out.
12:10The Bulldog down on the canvas.
12:12And Big Diesel just knocked the British Bulldog out with that huge boot.
12:16Yokozuna being pummeled by the seven-footer.
12:18No, wait a minute.
12:19Look out, Yoko.
12:20Yes.
12:21The momentum has clearly shifted back to Diesel and to Shawn Michaels.
12:25Yokozuna has it.
12:26And a boot, Yokozuna's down on the canvas.
12:29There's a tag.
12:30No.
12:30Yes, Michaels going after the top rope.
12:33Michaels on the top rope.
12:34No, he's going to the shoulders.
12:36That's it, a cover.
12:38One, two, no.
12:40No, no.
12:41What a mistake by the Bulldog.
12:44He's closed line over the top rope.
12:45Wait a minute, Shawn Michaels is setting up.
12:46Shawn Michaels has it.
12:47That's a kick, that's a kick.
12:48Super kick, Yokozuna to the outside.
12:51Michaels, what a devastating kick.
12:54Wait a minute, here comes Owen Hart.
12:57What's he doing here?
12:58He's gotta help the British Bulldog get Yokozuna back in the ring.
13:01You gotta beat the count.
13:02Get him in the ring quick.
13:04The official's still counting.
13:06Yokozuna, no.
13:07Lift him up.
13:08They can't get him up.
13:09And this match is history.
13:12Yokozuna on the outside and Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
13:17And Shawn Michaels victorious on the inside.
13:21I cannot believe it.
13:22Well, there you have it, ladies and gentlemen.
13:24Yes, Shawn Michaels and Big Daddy Cool Diesel victorious here tonight on Raw.
13:29Michaels now against Owen Hart in your house.
13:31February 18, Diesel will face the hitman Bret Hart inside a 15-foot-high steel cage
13:38as we go back now and show you, look at this, from the top.
13:41Unbelievable, watch the mistake the Bulldog makes now.
13:44Whoa, wait a minute, let's go back, let's go.
13:46Jim Cornette is in the ring with, Jim Cornette's in the ring with Yokozuna.
13:51Owen Hart and Danny Boy are listening to the Cornette Finnis spleen.
13:56He's blaming Yokozuna.
13:58He's berating Yokozuna.
14:01And rightfully so.
14:02You said the Bulldog made the mistake.
14:03Yokozuna should have never- No, no, no, no, no, no.
14:05He's publicly humiliating a two-time WWF champion, a former tag team champion.
14:12Cornette is just verbally raping Yokozuna.
14:17Look at the look on Yokozuna's face.
14:19Wait a minute, Jim.
14:21God, he just smashed his finger.
14:23Hold on, Cornette.
14:24Yokozuna's ready to explode.
14:25Better back up, Cornette.
14:26Go ahead.
14:28Jim, look out.
14:30I can't believe that, McMahon.
14:31Did you see what Yoko, what is he doing now?
14:33Get him, boys, get him.
14:34Get all over him, get that turtle.
14:36Don't let him beat up Jim Cornette, come on.
14:38Yokozuna being pummeled, but no, he's not.
14:40Wait a minute, Yokozuna- Get out, get out, get out.
14:42Chasing Danny Boy, chasing Owen Hart.
14:45Look at this.
14:46This boheman has had enough.
14:50Yokozuna with a fire like we've never seen before.
14:58Unbelievable.
14:59Anything can happen here in the World Wrestling Federation.
15:02Cornette's hurt.
15:03Wait a minute, Yokozuna- Run, run.
15:04He's coming out.
15:06More action here in the comp, ladies and gentlemen, tonight.
15:08Plus, what does a man who wants to put the World Wrestling Federation out of business,
15:11what else does he want?
15:12What is it?
15:13Money, power, power, money.
15:17Take your pick, I want more.
15:20The WWF title up for grabs here tonight on Raw.
15:24It seems that things are starting to change around here.
15:27Getting a little out of control.
15:30Maybe I finally found a home, a hardcore home, and now I can have a nice day.
15:38And your reaction to that, King?
15:42Well, I'd say that was a little eerie, wouldn't you?
15:44Unbelievable.
15:46Speaking of eerie, however, coming up, when a call girl makes the move to modeling,
15:49someone is out to stop her dead in her tracks.
15:53Don't miss an all new episode of Silk Stockings, tonight at 10,
15:579 Central, and only here on USA.
16:01I'll be watching.
16:03And everyone certainly will be watching this matchup, the White Angel,
16:05Akushi, the modern day Kamikaze, against the one, two, three kid.
16:09Here he comes now.
16:10Here comes the man, ladies and gentlemen.
16:13Yes, sold out the Ted DiBiase.
16:16Here comes the man who's going to be in the first cry baby match ever.
16:19Look at his right hand, now what's left?
16:21Yeah, look at this bottle.
16:22Yeah.
16:24That's the bottle he wants to stuff down the throat of the bad guy,
16:27Razor Ramon, in the cry baby match on pay-per-view.
16:32Of course, the date, in less than two weeks' time, live,
16:36February 18, live from Louisville.
16:39That's when we find out who is the real cry baby.
16:42You've been saying all this time that the one, two, three kid sold out,
16:45that he's a cry baby.
16:46Well, I think the kid is gonna prove that Razor Ramon is the biggest cry baby in
16:50the history of the World Wrestling Federation.
16:52Well, they tried to prove it last weekend on WWF Superstars.
16:55He had a stroller out around ringside, had that same bottle, and
16:59rammed the stroller into the heels of Razor, jammed the bottle,
17:02tried to get it down his throat.
17:04Nonetheless, that's a cry baby matchup.
17:07And this match, what a great matchup.
17:11This is gonna be two martial artists going at it here.
17:13Akushi against the one, two, three kid.
17:15Akushi adapting very well.
17:18The American Catch's catch can ways.
17:21But Leary, of the martial arts skills, is what he should be at the one,
17:23two, three kid.
17:24Look at that bottle.
17:25Can you imagine seeing that stuck down the throat of Razor Ramon?
17:28I can't wait.
17:29You know he's gonna have a bottle and a diaper.
17:31I'm gonna bring him a rattle.
17:32Still attached to the snake.
17:34Head scissor, right back up, both men.
17:35Look at this.
17:37Yes, anything can happen here in the World Wrestling Federation,
17:39as evidenced by what we saw earlier on with Yokozuna.
17:42Wow. And apparently,
17:44Yokozuna looking for Jim Cornette back in the locker room area.
17:47Nice takedown.
17:49Another head scissor there by the one, two, three kid.
17:52The kid, ladies and gentlemen, unquashably instrumental in Razor Ramon losing
17:56the Intercontinental title to the Bizarre One Goldust at the last Royal Rumble.
18:02Yeah, and Razor's been whining and crying ever since.
18:05How about that escape by Akushi?
18:07Eh, fair.
18:09One, two, three kid first making a name for
18:11himself at the expense of Razor Ramon, if you will recall.
18:14And it was right here on Raw.
18:16The kid upsetting Razor Ramon some time ago.
18:20That's right, and he'll do it again.
18:21That remains to be seen.
18:23Someone is gonna be diapered and have,
18:25you can imagine, that huge baby bottle stuffed down her throat.
18:28All right, Akushi coming off him, the kid down on the canvas.
18:31Akushi, over the one, two, three kid from the far side, leapfrog underneath.
18:35And Akushi blocks, look at this.
18:37No, the kid with a nice maneuver on his feet, the kid underneath the roundhouse.
18:42But not underneath that kid.
18:43Devastating.
18:45To the outside, Akushi, up and, no, puts on the brakes.
18:49Yeah, kid get out of the way, smart move, kid.
18:51I'll say.
18:52By the way, ladies and gentlemen,
18:53WWF superstars over in the great country of India, performing as we speak.
18:57Recently in Bombay, just last night, some 30,000 fans attending an event
19:02at a stadium in Bangalore, and then winding up in Delhi.
19:06And by the way, we will be bringing exclusive footage back for you here on USA,
19:10on Mania this coming weekend, and on, of course, the Action Zone.
19:13Maybe some footage from the visit over to the Taj Mahal.
19:16Hey, I've been to the Taj Mahal.
19:18I got a personal tour of the Taj Mahal from Donald Trump.
19:21Not that Taj Mahal, we're not talking about Atlantic City,
19:23we're talking about India, the original one.
19:25Oh, what a shot.
19:26Hey, no fair.
19:27What a chop.
19:29Akushi, taking it to the one, two, three kid.
19:32Kid being set up, no, reversal now.
19:34Off the rope and collision here.
19:37Wait a minute, Akushi with a leg in.
19:38No, he takes on the chocks of the one, two, three kid.
19:41Hey, look at this.
19:41By the kid, yeah, it's very impressive.
19:43He's mad now.
19:44What does that mean?
19:46That means he's gonna take it to Akushi.
19:48Just like he's gonna do to Razor Ramon.
19:50Man, I can't wait to see this.
19:52Can you imagine Razor Ramon in a diaper again?
19:56What do you mean again?
19:57Well, you people are gonna see he was such an ugly baby that for
19:59the first six months of his life, his mother diapered the wrong end.
20:02We're gonna see it again.
20:05Akushi coming off the rope.
20:06And Akushi over the top.
20:08Told you he was mad.
20:09The kid taking the momentum of Akushi and throwing him over the top.
20:13The one, two, three kid against the bad guy, Razor Ramon.
20:17What a devastating maneuver.
20:21And landing on his feet.
20:22And a million dollar man applauding the effort of the one, two, three kid.
20:28Get the impression the kid thinks he's the size of Big Daddy Cool Diesel or
20:31something.
20:32It was impressive.
20:33We take a look at it, a double feature, look at that.
20:35Wow. All the way over, knocking Akushi down and landing on his, come on.
20:39What, what?
20:40Come on, turn around, ref.
20:42The official backing Ted DiBiase off.
20:45He's trying to help Akushi out, back in the ring.
20:48The one, two, three kid and Akushi going at it tonight on Monday Night Raw.
20:54Yet to come, the WWF Championship up for grabs.
20:56The Hitman Bret Hart squaring off against the Undertaker.
20:59My. Look at this.
21:00Look at this, the kid, devastating.
21:03The one, two, three kid, surprisingly, taking it to Akushi,
21:07sets him up for the ride, and my goodness.
21:10Yes, hot kick, Akushi's in trouble.
21:13The one, two, three kid with all the momentum.
21:15Will the kid defeat Akushi?
21:18We're back with more Raw.
21:19You're about to see slow motion footage from what occurred during the break.
21:22Devastating martial art tactic on the part of the one, two, three kid, and
21:26the kid is taking it to Akushi.
21:28The one, two, three kid with a cover, two, and a kick out by the modern day Kamikaze.
21:33Yes, welcome back, everyone.
21:35Yet to come here tonight on Raw.
21:37Despite the threat of legal action from Turner Broadcasting System,
21:40the latest from Billionaire Ted.
21:43I still can't believe, McMahon,
21:44that what he says about his father is a direct quote from Ted Turner.
21:48Definitely, from the top man, can you believe that?
21:52Coming with a two drop kick in midair.
21:54Akushi has to get himself off the one, two, three kid, bent over double.
21:59The kid in trouble now, a high risk maneuver on the part of Akushi.
22:05Let's go back and take another look at it.
22:07Watch this now, Akushi in a daring, what a drop kick.
22:11And Akushi himself driven down in the canvas as a result of that high impact.
22:17Both Akushi and the kid in trouble.
22:19Both men back to their feet, but barely.
22:21The kid with a thrust, a block, nicely done by Akushi.
22:24Another block, yes, Akushi on the kid now.
22:28Right into the solar plexus, the one, two, three kid.
22:31Ripped to the far side, here comes Akushi, yeah.
22:35Setting the kid up.
22:36Off the rope, yeah.
22:38Go for it.
22:40Hot cover, one, two.
22:41And a kick out by the one, two, three kid.
22:44Wow, what a match up here tonight on Raw.
22:47Look at this, right in the butt of the jaw of the kid on the outside.
22:51He may be knocked out, McMahon.
22:53Akushi nailing the one, two, three kid.
22:56Akushi now, Akushi, what's this?
23:00From the top, the modern day kamikaze.
23:03All over the one, two, three kid.
23:04Well, that took its toll on Akushi as well.
23:07That's why you'll never see me doing stuff like that, McMahon.
23:10We'll go back and take another look at this.
23:13All right, here we go now, from the top, look at that.
23:15Unbelievable athleticism on the part of Akushi.
23:19Well, that took some out of Akushi as well.
23:21Both men, no, they're gonna wind up in a double count now.
23:23No, no, the kid thrown back in before the count.
23:26Akushi coming back in as well.
23:28Here we go.
23:29Akushi's gonna polish off the kid.
23:31To the top now.
23:32Akushi in the top rope, in the ladder, and-
23:34Get out of the way!
23:35Yes!
23:36Akushi in control of the matchup.
23:38This young man from Japan really making quite an impression here tonight.
23:43Another cover and, no, a kick out.
23:46Wow.
23:47Following his matchup, ladies and gentlemen,
23:48comments pre-recorded from Jim Cornette and his attorney, Clarence Mason.
23:52Well, look to this Vader fiasco.
23:54The man who had a 24-hour career in the WWF.
23:57The kid being set up now, coming off the rope, and no, Akushi coming.
24:01No.
24:01There you go.
24:02That was a devastating maneuver.
24:04And speaking of Japan, don't you know the people of Japan are embarrassed at
24:08the actions of Yokozuna tonight?
24:10He's got him now.
24:11Yes!
24:12Reversal and he got him.
24:13No, he didn't, no, he didn't.
24:14Wow.
24:15You mentioned Yokozuna.
24:16We'll try and follow up that story for you, ladies and gentlemen.
24:18Yokozuna finally asserting himself.
24:21He was berated.
24:22He was humiliated out here by Cornette.
24:24Look at this now.
24:25To the buckle.
24:26And a bracket slider there, ref.
24:28Come on.
24:29A referee out of position and almost a count of three again.
24:32What a matchup here thus far tonight on Raw.
24:35Yet to come, of course, Bret the Hitman Hart defeating the WWF title against
24:39The Phenom, The Undertaker.
24:40You don't want to miss a moment of tonight's Monday Night Raw.
24:44Look, Akushi's running.
24:45He's trying to leave the ring.
24:46He's had enough.
24:46Not at all.
24:47No sirree.
24:49Akushi to the outside.
24:50Now, here we go.
24:51High risk maneuver perhaps coming up.
24:52Will he go up?
24:53Yes, he is.
24:53Akushi going upstairs.
24:55He can barely make it.
24:56Nonetheless, he's getting up there.
24:57Look at the kid trying to beat him in the butt.
24:59Yes!
25:00The kid with a drop kick.
25:02And Akushi in a world of hurt.
25:04To the top.
25:05Look at the kid.
25:05This is it.
25:06The kid setting up Akushi.
25:09Under hook, double under hook.
25:10No way, no way.
25:12All the way down.
25:15One, two, and.
25:16A very, very impressive victory, I must say, by the one, two, three kid.
25:21And you can bet Raze Ramon watched every second of this.
25:24Really made him start crying.
25:27Speaking of a crybaby, ladies and gentlemen, standing by,
25:29let's take you now to the record comment, Jim Cornette,
25:31along with his attorney, Clarence Mason.
25:35It's been one week.
25:36One week since I asked for Mr. Vader to be reinstated,
25:39and we haven't heard anything from the World Wrestling Federation.
25:43I have even prepared case law.
25:45Stevens versus Stoutnick, a case that I personally went to the Supreme Court
25:48and I orally argued.
25:50The case stands for the proposition that you cannot unilaterally usurp
25:53your powers in positions such as those of Mr. Monsoon
25:56unless we have immediate, and I do mean immediate reinstatement of Mr. Vader.
26:00We will sue, and I mean we will sue immediately.
26:03The demands of Clarence Mason will not fall on deaf ears.
26:06You're looking at footage, ladies and gentlemen, of Vader
26:08attacking Gorilla Monsoon from behind.
26:11McMahon, you know Monsoon provoked it.
26:14And joining us right now, ladies and gentlemen, the interim WWF president,
26:16Convalescing, as a result of his injuries.
26:19And what about those injuries, Gorilla?
26:21Well, Vince, you know, I have a few serious injuries.
26:23A guy just felt like I was hit by a freight train.
26:26I have a hairline fracture, the transverse process
26:30of the third cervical vertebrae, and some torn intercostal cartilage.
26:33But that'll all heal.
26:35You know, and at this point in time, I want
26:37to apologize to the fans of the World Wrestling Federation for my actions.
26:43What do you mean by that?
26:44Well, you know, the guy provoked me.
26:46You couldn't really hear what the guy was saying
26:48or what his thoughts were, the look in his eyes.
26:50But I didn't respond as interim president.
26:54I responded as Gorilla Monsoon.
26:56So for that, I apologize to the fans of the World Wrestling Federation.
26:59And I also want to take this opportunity to thank the thousands and thousands
27:03of fans who sent in those cards and letters and get well wishes.
27:07I really appreciate that.
27:08What about an apology to Mr. Vader, which is demanded?
27:10Highly unlikely.
27:11No way, shape, or form.
27:13What about reinstatement, then?
27:14Should he be reinstated, in your opinion?
27:16Well, everybody knows how I feel on that matter.
27:18That now is in the hands of the board of directors.
27:20It's up to them.
27:21Could I ask you one question, Monsoon?
27:23What in the world were you thinking when you turned over
27:26the reins of the World Wrestling Federation to Rowdy Roddy Piper?
27:30Well, the Hot Rod has been a friend of mine for many, many years,
27:32some 20-something years.
27:33And I know that he's a man's man.
27:36And I know that at times, Hot Rod can be a loose cannon.
27:39But in desperate times, you need to take desperate actions.
27:43And I think the Hot Rod is going to be good for the World Wrestling Federation
27:47until I return after WrestleMania.
27:49Well, the best of luck to you and your convalescent.
27:53All right, everybody, ladies and gentlemen, back in the arena.
27:55And, oh, my goodness, the lights are out!
27:57Yes!
27:58The question is, will Bret the Hitman heart's reign as WWF champion?
28:02Will the lights go out on the Hitman's reign?
28:05The Undertaker, one-on-one against Bret the Hitman, hardly the matchup
28:09in which the Hitman demanded to defend the title against the Undertaker.
28:15Much to the protest of Big Daddy, Cool Diesel.
28:18You know, I can't wait to see this, McMahon.
28:20This is what I've been dreaming of.
28:22The Undertaker and Bret the Hitman heart.
28:25The title at stake.
28:26I hope they beat each other into oblivion.
28:28Well, you never can tell what's going to happen here tonight on Raw.
28:32Yes, in a rare opportunity, the World Wrestling Federation
28:34title up for grabs.
28:37The Undertaker, the phenom here in the WWF.
28:40I guess, perhaps, the best there is, the best there was,
28:43and the best there ever will be, the one, the only, the Hitman Bret Hart.
28:48What a collision, of course.
28:50These two WWF superstars are on right here tonight on Raw.
28:56The 1996 Slammy Awards take place WrestleMania weekend,
29:00and you can cast your ballot today to decide who will win.
29:06We're back with more Monday Night Raw.
29:08In the squared circle, the Undertaker,
29:10awaiting the presence of Bret the Hitman Hart, ladies and gentlemen.
29:13The Undertaker against Goldust in two weeks' time, but
29:15next week we will not be on the air.
29:17What? Is that because of Millionaire Ted?
29:19No, it's because of another dog show.
29:21So it's the Westminster Dog Show here next week on USA.
29:24But in two weeks' time, the Undertaker will face Goldust.
29:27And maybe the Undertaker will be the WWF Champion at that time.
29:31We're about ready to find out.
29:33Because here comes the reigning World Wrestling Federation Champion.
29:38World Wrestling Federation Champion, Bret Hitman Hart.
29:47What an ovation.
29:49Bret the Hitman Hart, he has done it all and continues to do it all.
29:54Yeah, let's face it, man, you love him, you love the Hitman.
29:56Look at how cocky he is.
29:58Look at the Undertaker staring down Bret Hart.
30:01Hart can feel the coolness coming down his back, I'm sure.
30:04Tonight, Monday Night Raw, brought to you by Edge Shave Gel,
30:08ultimate comfort, that's the edge.
30:10And it's brought to you by the US Army.
30:12Look for the Army hyperlink on the WWF AOL site in the TV zone section
30:16to find out where you can be all you can be.
30:19All right, let's go back and show you why Bret Hart insisted upon this return match
30:23up with the Undertaker.
30:24Look at this, Big Daddy Cool Diesel coming in and
30:26yanking the official right by the ankles.
30:28It could have ended right there, but Bret Hart said, whoa, no.
30:32I wanna put the title up for grabs.
30:34I wanna know if I can defeat the Undertaker or vice versa.
30:38Hence the reason for the match up, what a great champion Bret Hart has been thus far.
30:44Yeah, and maybe McMahon, what a dumb champion to risk your title against that
30:47man right there, so close to in your house.
30:50I think it's a stupid move by Hitman.
30:52Bret Hart on the outside now.
30:55Look at these legions of Bret Hitman Hart fans who have followed him throughout
30:59the years, unquestionably one of the greatest of all time.
31:04Will Bret Hart's reign come to a press call here tonight on Raw?
31:07The Hitman against the Undertaker.
31:09And you can bet Big Daddy Cool Diesel,
31:10whom we saw earlier on, will be watching every second of this match up.
31:15You know, McMahon, I think I'm beginning to realize what the Undertaker meant when
31:18he said it'd be a cold day in hell before Diesel was champion again.
31:22And what do you think he meant?
31:22Well, Undertaker plans on defeating the Hitman right now, and
31:26then the Undertaker will be the champion, and he doesn't think Diesel can beat him.
31:30Some would concur with that, some would differ.
31:32Nonetheless, Bret the Hitman Hart must find some measure
31:37to counter the awesome, phenomenal skills of the Undertaker.
31:41The Hitman, Bret Hart, and again.
31:43The Hitman relying on his maneuverability and his quickness.
31:46Hitman down to, headbutt by the Undertaker, and Bret Hart is reeling.
31:51Yeah, I guess so.
31:51You know, the Undertaker was wearing that protective facial appliance, but
31:55it was the Hitman who ripped it off at the Royal Rumble.
31:58It was an unbelievable matchup.
32:00Highly physical, just like this one is likely to be as well.
32:02A boot to the midsection there by the Hitman, a hard right hand follow up.
32:05Bret Hart with another one.
32:06Bret Hart with a headbutt.
32:07And Bret Hart suffering the worst consequences.
32:10Now the Undertaker turning it right back around.
32:13The Undertaker with Bret the Hitman Hart, and
32:15thus an opportunity to be the World Wrestling Federation champion.
32:19Once again, the Undertaker all over Bret Hart.
32:22And by the way, Roddy Roddy Piper has stated that if the Undertaker wins this
32:26matchup and becomes champion, it'll be the Undertaker in the cage against Big Daddy
32:31Cool Diesel.
32:32Boy, I can't wait for that live and in your house.
32:35February 18th, the date, ladies and gentlemen, exclusively on pay-per-view.
32:39Will it be Bret Hart defending a title inside the cage against Big Daddy Cool
32:43Diesel, or will it be that phenom?
32:45Will it be the Undertaker?
32:47And considering that Diesel is certainly not afraid of the night.
32:51Considering what sort of ham gesture Diesel gave the Undertaker at
32:55the Royal Rumble.
32:56My goodness, who knows what's gonna happen here in the World Wrestling Federation.
33:00Roddy Roddy Piper is just all over everything,
33:03turning things upside down as never before.
33:06Well, that's an understatement, McMahon.
33:08It's one thing for Piper to say that whoever the champion is at the end of this
33:12match faces Diesel in a cage.
33:14That's okay, but Piper's changing cards all over the place.
33:16He's come up with some kind of match, called a triple threat match.
33:19What's that?
33:19Yeah, well, it's a most unique matchup as only Roddy Roddy Piper could make, indeed.
33:26Matter of fact, the marketing suits in the WF Canyon keep up with
33:29Roddy Roddy Piper changing things all over the place.
33:32Metal lands and all over everywhere.
33:35Brett the Hitman Hart having great difficulty, no surprise here.
33:39And you can note that the mobility of the Hitman has been highly restricted here in
33:43this matchup, as a result of the previous encounter at the Royal Rumble.
33:47Bret Hart's knee, my goodness, as well as his face, not the same.
33:51That's why I said it was a stupid move on the Hitman's part to accept this match.
33:55So close to end your house.
33:56He didn't accept it, he demanded it.
33:58Yeah, that's what I mean, he's stupid.
34:00Every time I look at him, I wanna call Allstate.
34:02I think I've seen an accident.
34:03He's hobbling around on a gimped knee.
34:04He's got a black eye.
34:05He's all banged up, McMahon.
34:07He'll never win this match.
34:08The Undertaker with the Hitman, whoa, whoa, whoa, what is this?
34:13Big Daddy Cool Diesel coming out around the ringside area, on the top.
34:17Look at this, The Undertaker going all the way out.
34:19The Undertaker with Bret Hart, Bret Hart now is, no.
34:24Well, did you see that?
34:25The Undertaker was distracted by Big Daddy Cool walking down the ringside.
34:29And Bret, the Hitman, Hart yanked him right off the top rope.
34:32And wait a minute, Diesel continues.
34:35Big Daddy Cool Diesel joining us in the broadcast position.
34:44Obviously, the question is, what are you doing here?
34:47February 18th, you get your shot at the title.
34:50Well, I was told that maybe I could get a pay increase if I came down here and
34:55did a little commentating.
34:56So I thought maybe I'd come down here and see how things are going.
35:00A little bird's eye view here.
35:02Well, certainly we have that as Bret the Hitman Hart battling The Undertaker,
35:06just as he did at the Royal Rumble.
35:08The Undertaker doing whatever, uh-oh, did a nice takedown by the Hitman.
35:11The Undertaker.
35:18What was the little deal you did there, Diesel?
35:20What was this with The Undertaker, the little fingers, huh?
35:23A little spooky thing there, something I conjured up.
35:26Obviously, you're not afraid of the dark, not afraid of The Undertaker either.
35:30I've got one of those rechargeable flashlights at home.
35:33I see.
35:34Nonetheless, the WWF title up for grabs right here tonight on Raw.
35:39Will Big Daddy Cool Diesel be facing Bret Hart for the title in the cage?
35:44Or will it be you against The Undertaker, locked inside that steel cage coffin?
35:48Who's the better of the three athletes?
35:51I think the people know who's better.
35:53I think it's Big Daddy Cool in a landslide boat.
35:55You've got to wonder, Vince,
35:59just how much these beatings Bret Hart has taken has affected him.
36:04At least mentally, to get in a cage with me to do this with Undertaker,
36:07I think he's really biting off more than he can chew.
36:10And a lot of people would concur with that thought.
36:13I would certainly join it.
36:15Bret Hart against The Undertaker.
36:17This was The Hitman's idea.
36:20Bret Hart did not have to defend the title before the cage match.
36:23No, this was what Bret Hart wanted.
36:25And Bret Hart now, with an opportunity to prove his superiority.
36:33Big Daddy Cool Diesel with an intense look on that face.
36:39The man who would be World Wrestling Federation champion once again.
36:42What a shot.
36:43Whoa.
36:49Whether you like Bret Hart or not, you gotta say one thing,
36:51that guy can take a beating.
36:53Yeah, and I'm sure you'd love to give him one, and in your house.
36:56Right now, The Undertaker.
36:57Against The Hitman, Bret Hart, will The Undertaker be the champion?
36:59Stay with us.
37:01We're back with more WWE Raw.
37:03What a suplex there by The Undertaker.
37:05Bret, The Hitman Hart has been pummeled all the way through this break.
37:08The Undertaker, so very close,
37:10of taking the World Wrestling Federation Championship from The Hitman.
37:13And the worried look on the man sitting next to me, Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
37:18Yes, it could be Diesel against The Undertaker,
37:20inside the cage in your house on February 18th.
37:24The Undertaker with the advantage.
37:26What does Bret Hart have to do to get back into the match?
37:29No, to the outside.
37:30And that, Bret Hart landed on his knee.
37:33That's right, that can't do him any good at all.
37:35Look out, here comes The Undertaker.
37:36Undertaker coming outside with Bret, The Hitman Hart.
37:38This one likely to get ugly now.
37:40This is for the WWF titling, down into the railing.
37:45That could make The Hitman's face a little more ugly, if that's possible.
37:49The Undertaker against Bret, The Hitman Hart.
37:52Bret Hart giving The Undertaker the opportunity for this rematch.
37:55Much to the chagrin of Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
37:58Diesel thought he had the title opportunity all to himself in your house.
38:02But no, Bret Hart fooled you, didn't he, Big D?
38:05Yeah, Bret Hart said, no, I'm gonna put the title up for
38:09grabs on Monday Night Raw.
38:11And thus far, Big Daddy Cool Diesel has said absolutely nothing.
38:17Intent on staring at what's going on inside the squared circle.
38:22Well, remind him what The Undertaker said.
38:24What kind of day it would be, you know.
38:26Yes, The Undertaker, as we said before, stated, it would be a cold day in hell
38:30before Big Daddy Cool Diesel was ever the WWF Champion again.
38:34Right now, The Undertaker going upstairs on the top rope, and
38:39The Undertaker crashing down across the back of the neck of Bret, The Hitman Hart.
38:47You know, the cold day in hell, well, I just talked,
38:49I watched the Weather Channel today there.
38:52And minus 70 in hell today, did you know that?
38:57Minus.
38:58It's minus 70 in hell, that's gotta be a cold day in hell.
39:01Ow, what happened to everybody on The Undertaker?
39:04It doesn't matter, actually, Big D, if you would,
39:06what the weather forecast is in hell today.
39:09What matters is, what happens on February 18th live on pay-per-view.
39:14That's when you must be concerned with the weather forecast in hell.
39:18Listen, listen, these morons are calling for the Tombstone, and
39:22I think they may get it.
39:23And we saw the Tombstone once before.
39:25Yes.
39:26At the- Here we go now, The Undertaker, with the Tombstone and
39:31the feet of The Hitman just hit The Official's tail.
39:34The Undertaker, The Undertaker wrapped up one.
39:37No rest.
39:38The Official is still down.
39:40The Hitman's boot caught the referee right in the jaw.
39:42The Hitman back up on his feet, The Undertaker stalking.
39:45Wrecked The Hitman Hart.
39:46What a chop there by The Undertaker.
39:50Bret Hart and The Undertaker going at it tonight on Monday Night Raw.
39:53Paul Bearer's trying to revive The Ref, he is out.
39:56And The Official is out, calling The Undertaker will not stop.
40:00And no one, no, and look at this.
40:04The Undertaker wants desperately to be the World Wrestling Federation Champion.
40:08The Undertaker with a score to settle against Big Daddy Cool Diesel, and
40:12for that matter, so
40:13does Bret The Hitman Hart have a huge score to settle with Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
40:18But right now, it's these two men going at it.
40:21And one man will have the privilege, if you would, of facing Diesel in the cage.
40:27Look at this, look at this.
40:28No, no, no, no, no.
40:29And out.
40:32Again, Bret Hart attacking the leg as he did once before.
40:35And The Official is still out.
40:37And The Hitman looking over here at Big Daddy Cool.
40:39No, wait a minute, where's he going?
40:42Diesel, Diesel's- Look at this.
40:44No, Diesel attacking Bret Hart.
40:47The Official is down and Diesel- No.
40:51There's no love lost between Bret Hart and Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
40:55That's for certain.
40:56Wait a minute, there's no love lost at all between The Undertaker and Big D.
41:00No, here they come.
41:02No.
41:04A shot.
41:05The Undertaker on Diesel and Diesel ran a ton of steps.
41:10Look at this, McMahon, all of three of these guys going at each other.
41:13This is what Roddy, Roddy Piper meant by that triple threat match or
41:17something like this.
41:18No, no.
41:19Diesel got a chair.
41:20From behind.
41:21And Diesel has lost it.
41:27Diesel pummeling The Undertaker from behind.
41:32And Diesel now with the feet up.
41:37Rolls him back in.
41:38What's he gonna do with him?
41:39No.
41:40I'm in shock.
41:41I can't believe this.
41:44Diesel now with The Undertaker.
41:45Sets him up.
41:46Don't tell me.
41:47Yes, the Jackknife.
41:50Diesel has Jackknifed The Undertaker.
41:56After smashing him with a chair, look at this.
41:58Wait a minute, The Undertaker's gonna sit right up.
42:00No, he's not.
42:02Look at Diesel, taunting The Undertaker.
42:05I didn't think anyone would ever do this.
42:10Look at this.
42:11Diesel with The Undertaker.
42:13He's setting him up again.
42:15He's setting him up for the ride again.
42:16Look at these people, McMahon, they're in shock.
42:18Another Jackknife.
42:19Boom.
42:21This capacity crowd beginning to boom.
42:23Diesel, Diesel proud of what he's done.
42:26The official is still down.
42:28Undertaker's down.
42:29Bret Hart is still down.
42:31Paul Bearer's over there.
42:32He can't believe his eyes.
42:33Now, where's Diesel going?
42:34Diesel leaving carnage everywhere.
42:37No, wait a minute.
42:37He's going back after Bret the Hitman Hart.
42:39He's gonna nail him again.
42:40No.
42:42Will this match continue?
42:44Can Bret Hart and The Undertaker get back in the ring and go at it?
42:47Stay with us, we'll find out.
42:50We're back with more Raw, and here's what you missed during your break.
42:52I couldn't believe it.
42:53Bret the Hitman Hart got up just as Diesel was leaving.
42:56Bret Hart, look, coming over to Diesel, and they began to pummel each other.
43:01A tremendous melee ensued.
43:03Officials coming down, breaking it up, and of course, The Undertaker.
43:06Did you see the look in that man's eye when he got up?
43:08Yeah, Big Daddy Cool.
43:09I wouldn't want to be in his shoes when The Undertaker catches him.
43:12The Undertaker with a beeline back to the locker room looking for
43:14Big Daddy Cool, Diesel, and he just might catch him, who knows?
43:18The match officially declared a draw as we take you now,
43:21despite the threat of legal action from Turner Broadcasting System,
43:24here's the latest from Billionaire Ted.
43:26When we last left the press conference,
43:28Billionaire Ted was asked a difficult question regarding predatory tactics
43:31toward the WWF.
43:32Yeah, let's, listen, why don't we take another question real quick here, yeah?
43:39Yeah, right over here.
43:41Back to the subject of greed, what won't you do to put the WWF out of business?
43:47Well, hell, I won't use my own money.
43:49I mean, that'd be just out of, what, say, is something wrong, or?
43:58Well, let's get back to the question.
44:00Let's return to the press conference.
44:02Yeah, yeah, okay, next question.
44:05Billionaire Ted, isn't it true that your wrestling company has lost
44:11millions of dollars over the years, thus wasting your stockholder's good money?
44:16Yeah, but I'm having fun, you know, it's kind of like a play thing.
44:22Yeah, next question.
44:23Billionaire Ted.
44:25When the $40 billion merger with Time Warner goes through,
44:29will you exhibit the same attitude toward the Time Warner stockholders?
44:33Well, hell, yeah.
44:34I mean, as long as I'm having fun, that's all that matters, right?
44:38But certainly your stockholders care about the millions of dollars you've wasted.
44:41It's their money.
44:43Well, sure, sure they care, but I don't.
44:47You know, I mean, I'm entitled to a play thing, a play thing.
44:54All right, next question.
44:55Billionaire Ted.
44:57Billionaire Ted, what is it that motivates you?
44:59Money, power, power, money.
45:03Take your pick, I want more.
45:06I want to own everything, so when I die and I see my daddy again,
45:10I can say, dad, kiss this.
45:14Then, that's all, folks, see ya.
