00:00The World Wrestling Federation, for over 50 years,
00:05the revolutionary force in sports entertainment.
00:09Last night at WrestleMania XII,
00:13a record-breaking crowd experience, the most spectacular.
00:19The most provocative.
00:22The most brutal.
00:24And the most outrageous event in World Wrestling Federation history.
00:28We felt the exhilaration after all the anticipation,
00:31with the awesome return of the ultimate sensation.
00:35And we witnessed the conquest by the phenomenal force over a black-gloved
00:39monster.
00:40And we shared in the ecstasy and
00:44the agony of the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.
00:50Welcome everyone to San Bernardino, California.
00:55I'm your host,
00:59Randy Orton.
01:03And I'm your host,
01:09Randy Orton.
01:13Welcome everyone to San Bernardino, California.
01:21Welcome to the Orange County Pavilion.
01:24Welcome to Monday Night Raw, the day after WrestleMania, April Fools Day.
01:31Hello everyone, I'm Vince McMahon.
01:32And speaking of April Fools, of course, joining us is always Jerry The King Lawler.
01:37Of course, ladies and gentlemen,
01:40await the presence of the new World Wrestling Federation champion who joins us tonight,
01:47Shawn Michaels, he did it.
01:48Yeah, McMahon, but we're also gonna see a bruised, a beaten,
01:52a battered Undertaker taking on the undefeated Justin Hogg Bradshaw.
01:58Yeah, but right now, here he comes, the eager anticipation.
02:02Yes, here he comes, mankind on his way to the ring.
02:07Coming down the aisle, weighing 287 pounds, Mankind.
02:15Not a pretty sight.
02:21Look at this.
02:24What's gonna happen when Mankind hits the ring?
02:27What can we expect?
02:30What about that mug, McMahon?
02:33I heard he tried to enter an ugly contest.
02:35They said, sorry, no professionals.
02:38Look at this guy.
02:39That's fitting, that on April Fools Day, this man would make his debut in
02:44the squared circle here in the World Wrestling Federation.
02:47Mankind.
02:48Wow.
02:49Mankind against Bob Sparkplug Holly.
02:58Yeah, I guarantee you right now,
02:59Bob Sparkplug Holly is thinking about how to put it in reverse.
03:03He could very well be.
03:05Bob Holly, a great competitor.
03:06Now we're gonna find out what Mankind can do athletically.
03:09What do you know about Mankind?
03:12I don't know, I like, whoa, look at this, McMahon.
03:13Well, we can know that obviously he takes a cheap shot over the referee's shoulder,
03:16that's for sure.
03:17Mankind, with a headbutt.
03:19Mankind now moving in on Bob Sparkplug Holly.
03:24Listen.
03:25My God.
03:28Look at this, a succession of hard right and left.
03:30Look at, battering Bob Holly.
03:32Come on, ref, get him, get him away.
03:33And my goodness, I'm not sure Mankind would even mind being disqualified.
03:42Look at this guy, McMahon.
03:44He's pulling his own hair out.
03:45Wow.
03:50Mankind, obviously the most deranged individual I think perhaps in the history
03:55of the WWE, Bob Holly with a kick.
03:57Here we go, Bob Holly now.
03:59Gonna make a contest out of this.
04:00Here we go.
04:01Holly sets up Mankind.
04:03For the ride, coming up.
04:05Mankind sort of crumbles up now to the back end.
04:08Who comes right out on an elbow in his own right.
04:10Look at those bald spots on the head of Mankind where he's been pulling his hair
04:13out.
04:14And Mankind and Bob Holly having a go.
04:17A clothesline.
04:17Mankind still on his feet.
04:21Bob Holly now with Mankind.
04:23Sets him up.
04:24Down he comes.
04:26Bob's back, Bob Holly against Mankind.
04:33Coming off the rope, Mankind.
04:35No.
04:39On the outside.
04:41I could have given Bob Holly a little word of wisdom.
04:43Wait a minute, wait a minute.
04:44What's this?
04:45To the outside.
04:46Mankind.
04:47With Bob Holly.
04:48Wow.
04:50I learned this early in my career, McMahon.
04:53Look at this.
04:54Never get in fights with ugly guys because they got nothing to lose.
04:58And Mankind, thus far, manhandling Bob Sparkplug Holly.
05:03And when he's not doing that, he's yanking out his own hair.
05:07He's only got three fingers, I think.
05:10And Mankind now, hammering away on Bob Sparkplug Holly.
05:13Continuing up.
05:14Continuing the attack.
05:23This guy is not only deranged, but, man,
05:24I think he's a little deformed, too.
05:25Look at that.
05:26That face.
05:27Come on.
05:28Well, you can't very well see the face.
05:33I can see enough of it.
05:34Look out.
05:35Oh.
05:36Wow.
05:41I'm not so sure they shouldn't send Mankind in to square away
05:44that Montana Freeman standoff.
05:47It's time.
05:49What's he saying?
05:50I don't know.
05:53We've never seen anything quite like this deranged individual.
05:58You sort of wondered what kind of competitor,
06:00you sort of wondered what kind of athlete this man would make.
06:03What's he doing with that?
06:06He just, what's he doing?
06:10He's shoving.
06:12He's got his-
06:15Wait a minute.
06:16Wait a minute.
06:16Look at that.
06:18Holly is screaming.
06:23He's got his fingers jammed down his throat.
06:28That is esophagus.
06:30Mankind.
06:36Some sort of a submission of some kind.
06:45This guy is very deranged.
06:51Music's a little deranged, too.
06:52There's nothing normal about Mankind.
06:56Some sort of a submission hold.
07:00With his fingers jammed down into the throat area.
07:04Look at the scars on his body, McMahon, and his face.
07:10Come over here.
07:11Good thing we didn't see him at WrestleMania.
07:12Get up there, McMahon.
07:13Go ahead.
07:16All right, let's take you back now, ladies and gentlemen.
07:19It was WrestleMania just yesterday.
07:21Yes, indeed.
07:22Yes, WrestleMania the whole weekend brought to you by Heiko Arce.
07:28Maximum heat.
07:28Was it wild?
07:30We just saw some wild action, but there he is, the Wildman, Mark Merrill,
07:33making his debut, being interviewed by Todd Pettengill.
07:37But watch what happens as coming out of the ring,
07:40Helmsley defeated by the Warrior.
07:42Helmsley blamed his escort, Sable, for his loss.
07:46And rightly so, McMahon.
07:47And then this idiot Wildman, Martin Merrill,
07:49jumps on a man that had just fought the ultimate battle.
07:52He had no business sticking his nose in there.
07:54And out here, ladies and gentlemen, she bought a ticket, and
07:58there she is, that Sable.
07:59And Helmsley's not scheduled to be here, but guess who is?
08:03Yeah, Wildman, Mark Merrill, plus, yet to come, right here,
08:07the one, the only, heartbreak kid, Shawn Michaels.
08:12Michaels in his special interview, plus all kind of action.
08:18Look at this, McMahon.
08:19This is what they've been waiting for.
08:20The Ultimate Warrior is back.
08:25It started in a Hollywood backlight.
08:28It looks like it's gonna end here in the pod.
08:34These two monsters clobbering each other.
08:37I think Diesel shrunk down to about six foot seven now.
08:43I've never seen anything like this in my life.
08:47You're an undertaker, McMahon.
08:49The boyhood dream has come true for Shawn Michaels.
08:54♪♪
09:16First time at WrestleMania.
09:19It was a great time, no doubt about it.
09:21The Encore, of course, is what mentioned earlier on.
09:23Tomorrow night, 8 o'clock, Eastern and Pacific.
09:28It was perhaps one of the greatest WrestleManias of all time.
09:33And right now, Isaac Yankov, DDS, awaiting the presence of a young man who,
09:38yes, is on his way to the Swear Circle.
09:42A young man who took leverage with what Hunter Hearst Helmsley
09:46had to say when Helmsley claimed his loss.
09:51To the Ultimate Warrior and that lady right there, who was just escorting Sable.
09:54But Sable has come down to ringside here, bought a ticket there,
09:57because I think she's here.
09:59Because that man's here, the Wild Man, Mark Barrow.
10:02Well, she's in for a rude awakening if she's come to see Mark Barrow make
10:06a spectacular debut here in the World Wrestling Federation.
10:09Because my man, Isaac Yankov,
10:12instincted to knock all of Mark Barrow's curly whites out.
10:16And without the use of Dovahkiin.
10:17All right, that remains to be seen.
10:19Should be a competitive matchup here.
10:21Isaac Yankov, big monster.
10:24Yankov.
10:25Come on, Isaac.
10:26No doubt, a tip to spoil the WBF wrestling debut.
10:30Wild Man, Mark Barrow.
10:33Look at this, McMahon.
10:34Look at how much bigger Isaac is than this Mark Barrow.
10:36I see that.
10:36Watch it, watch it.
10:37Nice dropkick.
10:38Unable to top off Yankov now.
10:40What a cheap shot.
10:40Got him from behind.
10:41Whoa, whoa, whoa.
10:43Mark Barrow.
10:43Look out.
10:44Can you believe that?
10:46This guy's a nut.
10:50Well, a 360 and landed on his feet.
10:52He is a wild man to take that to the outside.
10:55And wait a minute.
10:56My goodness.
10:58My goodness.
11:00Uncover, uncount.
11:02And a kick out.
11:03Isaac Yankov must be wondering who he's in there with.
11:09Isaac Yankov being set up for the ride.
11:11Reversal now.
11:14Whoa.
11:14That's it, they're nicely done.
11:15Wild Man Mark Barrow.
11:17A kick to the midsection there.
11:19My goodness, and here I- What a cheater this guy is.
11:22What do you mean a cheater?
11:23Look at this.
11:23Here we go back to a double feature.
11:25Look at this.
11:25And a nut too.
11:26My goodness, right across his back.
11:28And- Look out.
11:29Yeah, from the top rope.
11:32Uncover, can he get it this time too?
11:34No, no.
11:35Still can.
11:38Isaac, watch out.
11:39Mark Barrow showing no signs of the smarting or
11:42hurting in any way from the incident.
11:44Between himself and- Hey, look, look, McMahon.
11:45Hunter Hearst, look.
11:46Look who's coming down to ringside.
11:47Hey, wait a minute.
11:48Hunter Hearst, look.
11:50Toe time.
11:51Hunter Hearst Helmsley is over at ringside.
11:54And I believe he is, is he trying to, he just threw someone out of a seat.
11:59And is now sitting down next to the lady Sable who escorted him.
12:04I will turn.
12:05I will turn.
12:06I will turn.
12:07I will turn.
12:08I will turn.
12:09I will turn.
12:10And I must say, Helmsley was very rude and very much out of line.
12:16Imagine blaming Sable, his escort, for his loss to the Ultimate Wire.
12:20Look, McMahon, she was- She was a big distraction.
12:24Don't worry, Helmsley will put her in her place.
12:26And a cover by Isaac Yankovic.
12:29A kick out by Mark Barrow.
12:31Go to the pit, man.
12:35And you wonder whether or not Helmsley is attempting to
12:39control her as he apologizes.
12:42I don't know, but I know one thing.
12:43I've never seen him pursue a woman like this.
12:45Usually, they're crawling at Hunter's feet.
12:47You can do better than that.
12:53All right, here we go now.
12:54Mark Barrow must figure out how to counter this big,
13:00awesome, powerful, personal dentist of yours, Isaac Yankovic.
13:05There is no counter, McMahon.
13:07Whose temperament obviously matches the decayed teeth in his head.
13:11Barrow now, breaks the hold, coming up underneath the clothesline.
13:13From the other side, and- Look out, what kind of thing is this?
13:17Trying to get him down.
13:19Pulls him over.
13:20Shoulders down, to him.
13:22No. Yeah.
13:23So close.
13:24Come on, Isaac, put the boots to him.
13:26Isaac Yankovic, doing just that, putting the boots to the wild man, Mark Barrow.
13:31What about, ladies and gentlemen, the Iron Man match.
13:35Wow, did you hear that?
13:36WrestleMania, yes, indeed.
13:37I think I saw a molar fly out.
13:42And congratulations to Bret, the Hitman Hart,
13:45as well as to the new WWF Champion, Shawn Michaels.
13:49They gave you everything they had just yesterday during WrestleMania.
13:54Yes.
13:54Wait a minute, wait a minute.
13:56This may be one, remember- Look out.
13:58Mom, she's gonna get it now.
14:00Almost, almost, not quite.
14:03And Yankovic continues the attack.
14:07Give me one of his back cuspids.
14:11I'm talking to you, McMahon.
14:12All right now, coming off, and look out.
14:15A set up by Isaac Yankovic for a back landing drop.
14:17Didn't work.
14:18Mark Barrow, the wild man.
14:19With those lefts down, succession of them.
14:22Off the rope, and- What a hard right.
14:26And Yankovic still on it.
14:27You can't knock- Wow, and a left hand.
14:29Ho, ho.
14:31Man.
14:34Wait a minute, what's this now?
14:35I don't know, but I know, I know Sable cannot take her eyes off this wild man.
14:40And over the head there.
14:42Get one, two, gonna get it now.
14:44No.
14:45What?
14:46And Sable's on her feet, just like this capacity crowd.
14:50And Yankovic, defeated by the wild man Mark Barrow and Hell's Way.
14:57What does she see?
14:59What does she see in Mark Barrow?
15:01How can she- Wait, wait, wait a minute.
15:02Here comes, here comes Mark Barrow.
15:04Hey, wait a minute.
15:12Whoa.
15:15She slapped Hell's Way.
15:17Yes, she did.
15:18And already deserves it.
15:21Hell's Way must hide himself.
15:24What in the world?
15:26Raising the digits.
15:29Wow, man, Mark Barrow, what a debut.
15:37Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome,
15:40making his way to the ring for the first time ever,
15:44and the winner, weighing 260 pounds,
15:50The Ultimate Warrior.
15:55Ladies and gentlemen, right here on Raw,
15:59The Ultimate Warrior will join us, however.
16:04Right here this week, yet to come, The Undertaker, one on one with The Undefeated,
16:08Justin Hawke, Bradshaw, what action.
16:10But speaking of action, we caught up earlier with Ante Parker Bigley.
16:16As a matter of fact, today, he's on his way to host the weekly world news April Fool's special.
16:22It's gonna be a great show, and let's find out where he is.
16:26Okay, go to the end of the block, make a right at the nude barbershop.
16:30What does that mean? Who's nude? The barber? The customer?
16:34I guess I could use a trim.
16:35Ooh, scissors, maybe not.
16:36That reminds me of the case of the stripper accidentally killed a customer,
16:39got too close to the action.
16:40Stick around. You'll meet her after Raw.
16:44We're back, and tonight, Raw is brought to you by U.S. Army.
16:49That's right, McMahon.
16:50Get an edge on life, and be all that you can be in the Army.
16:55And is that a hockey puck or a chocolate chip cookie?
16:57I don't know.
16:58Have you got milk?
17:01All right, tag team action coming up.
17:02The Body Diners ready to join us momentarily, ladies and gentlemen.
17:06However, the Body Diners were in action.
17:09As a matter of fact, just yesterday, during the WWF pre-forall against The Godfathers,
17:14for the Tag Team Championship.
17:17And there she was, the Slammy Award-winning Sunny leading her Body Diners
17:22down to the WWF pre-forall,
17:25down to the WWF Tag Team Championship match against The Godwin Family.
17:28Yeah, that's right, McMahon.
17:30The Godwins were bigger, and they were stronger.
17:32Of course, smell isn't everything,
17:34but the Body Diners used teamwork to stay in the contest.
17:38No doubt about it.
17:39A great deal of teamwork, a great deal of double teaming.
17:41Here's what they're doing right there.
17:42Phineas, look what-
17:43Yeah, but look.
17:44Sunny took advantage of her assets to distract Phineas.
17:47And look, there it is.
17:49Can you believe that?
17:50New Tag Team Championship.
17:51Keep rolling Phineas up when Phineas was ready to put the slop drop on Skip.
17:56But nonetheless, there you have it.
17:58The victors, the new champion.
18:00But a rematch has been signed for April 28 when we come next in your house.
18:07Yes, indeed.
18:07And more, ladies and gentlemen, on April 28 in your house.
18:12As a matter of fact, momentarily, we're going to announce the main event.
18:16But right now, Sunny leading her tag team champion.
18:20Who would have thunk it, as they say?
18:22Who would have what?
18:24I guarantee you those two hillbillies didn't thunk it.
18:26You brought me good luck in an outfit so nice I had to wear it twice.
18:31And tonight, you guys are in for a lesson that you're never
18:34going to forget my way of the Body Diners.
18:38I'm anxious to see the Body Diners, but I also
18:40want to see those Slammy Award winning buns.
18:43Yes, indeed.
18:44Sunny winning two Slammys last Saturday night.
18:48Is that one for each bun?
18:50Well, not exactly, no.
18:52Oh, oh, oh, oh.
18:54Best buns category.
18:56And right behind that, manager of the year.
18:58Isn't that nice?
18:59Isn't that beautiful?
19:00Oh, God.
19:01I couldn't be happier.
19:02You see the buns?
19:03Oh.
19:04All right.
19:05Here we go.
19:05Aldo Montoya and Barry Harland against Skip and Zep.
19:11Whoa.
19:12Look at that.
19:13Retaliation by Aldo Montoya.
19:15A chop there.
19:16Oh, look at this.
19:17They're going at it here.
19:18And Aldo Montoya, steady him up.
19:20Zip and a nice reversal.
19:21And put on the brakes.
19:22Nicely done.
19:23Oh, leap frog.
19:24Look at this.
19:25Coming off from the other side.
19:27Oh.
19:28Non-title match by the Rock.
19:29Do it.
19:30Ooh.
19:31And right over again.
19:33You can bet the tag team situation heating up as a result of the Body Diners
19:39becoming the WWF Tag Team Champions during the recent free-for-all just yesterday.
19:44Uh-oh.
19:45They almost nailed each other.
19:46Whoa.
19:47Yeah, two morons like Aldo Montoya and Horowitz,
19:50they ought to realize they should show some more respect
19:53to the new tag team champions.
19:55The new Rockers, ladies and gentlemen, waiting for an opportunity.
19:57And of course, the Smoking Gun's back in action soon as well.
20:00Oh, my.
20:01Look at this.
20:02Standing side headlock.
20:03Won't be standing for long.
20:04Oh, yeah.
20:06That maneuver by Aldo Montoya.
20:08Yes.
20:09A right hand follow-up, Aldo Montoya.
20:12Oh, my goodness, to the outside now.
20:14Zip and Skip look so much alike, it's difficult to tell these two apart.
20:18And obviously, they use that similarity to their advantage.
20:22You know, McMahon, they had a tremendous victory celebration last night.
20:26I got it now.
20:27They may be partying a little too hardy.
20:29You think so?
20:30They're just a little tired, probably.
20:31They'll get into this thing in a second here.
20:33Uh-huh.
20:34Horowitz and Montoya, they're using the Bad News Bears thinking, you know?
20:40Bad News Bears?
20:41Yeah.
20:42What a kick out.
20:43Couple of losers unite.
20:44They can be victorious.
20:45And Barry Horowitz and Zip having a go here.
20:49And again, back to the leg, and again, another kick out.
20:53All right.
20:56And how about Hunter Hearst Hemsley?
21:00He was beside himself.
21:01Did you see?
21:02Oh, hello.
21:03Did you see the look on Hemsley's face when Wild Man Mark Merrill scooped up
21:07Sable, brought her over the retaining barrier there, and took her back?
21:11I couldn't believe it myself, McMahon.
21:13From the top and down across the arm.
21:15How could any girl in her right mind choose that idiot Mark Merrill over
21:19Hunter Hearst Hemsley?
21:22That was made there.
21:23And thus far.
21:24From behind.
21:25Montoya had no idea.
21:27There we go.
21:28That Skip had tagged in.
21:29Look at this.
21:31Double team effort behind you.
21:32Fish is back in.
21:33Whoa.
21:37Skip and Zip.
21:38The WWE Tag Team Champions.
21:40How long will they hang on to the championship belt?
21:43Probably just as long as Sonny wants them to.
21:45Snap suplex.
21:46Nicely done.
21:48Frequent tag on the part of the Body Donners.
21:50Although, I must say, Horowitz and Montoya have been quite impressive as well,
21:54as far as continuity is concerned.
21:57What's the matter with you, McMahon?
21:58You got both contact lenses in the same eye?
22:00They're impressing you?
22:01For cover.
22:02Do it.
22:03Almost a count of three.
22:04Talk about April Fools.
22:05Look up the word April Fools in the dictionary.
22:07You'll see their picture.
22:09Just about anything that could happen happened yesterday at WrestleMania.
22:14Look at this.
22:15Vader.
22:16Oh, my goodness.
22:17What a monster.
22:18And what about The Undertaker and Big Daddy Cool Diesel?
22:22An unbelievable drubbing by both individuals.
22:25And The Undertaker, whom you're going to see later on tonight,
22:28has been battered and bruised, perhaps like never before.
22:32It was his bravest challenge.
22:35And this is a great opportunity for
22:37the undefeated Justin Hart Rancho right here tonight-
22:40That's right.
22:41To defeat The Undertaker.
22:42That idiot.
22:43Oh, no.
22:44Oh, my goodness.
22:45What are you trying to do to our champions?
22:47Unbelievable.
22:48What a maneuver, guys.
22:50How about Montoya with reckless abandon here on Raw?
22:56How about Montoya?
22:58Nothing to lose.
22:59If he and Horowitz are victorious,
23:01the unquestionably will receive a shot at the title.
23:03Here comes Montoya.
23:04Over the tag, Barry Horowitz.
23:06And tag is made.
23:07Here he comes.
23:10Here we go.
23:11High knee by Barry Horowitz.
23:14Horowitz.
23:16Look out.
23:17No, no.
23:19There it is.
23:20Victory rope.
23:21Come around.
23:22Come around now.
23:23Look at Sonny.
23:24That was a figure to get one, two.
23:27Yeah.
23:28I thought we were going to be saying Horowitz wins.
23:31Horowitz wins.
23:32I hope not.
23:34And here's what we saw earlier on Double Feature again.
23:37How about it?
23:38Just at the end there.
23:39They're doing it again.
23:40Yeah.
23:41No, no.
23:42Wow.
23:45Oh, no.
23:46Look at that.
23:47What a suplex and a kick out by Montoya.
23:50How did Montoya kick out of that?
23:52Speaking of gifts.
23:54When Horowitz was in there.
23:55It was skipped earlier on.
23:56I thought we were going to see another embarrassing moment.
24:00Montoya went to the well once too often with those goofy moves of his.
24:04You have to take a chance if you're going to be successful here in the World Wrestling
24:07Federation.
24:08And these young men unquestionably taking a chance.
24:11Look at this.
24:13The party dinosaur.
24:14Look at one of them.
24:15Oh.
24:16Turn him away from Bob.
24:18Here we are.
24:20And down.
24:22One.
24:23Two.
24:24Montoya.
24:25A victory for the party dinos.
24:27And there she is, the manager of the year.
24:30And in the best punch category as well.
24:32There's a shot of him.
24:35She uses her sexuality to her advantage.
24:37That much is for certain.
24:40I said it before.
24:41She has what it takes to take what men have.
24:45Just like I told you.
24:46My boys are the champs.
24:47And they're going to see the champs whether you like it or not.
24:51Tom Michaels is going to join us today, ladies and gentlemen.
24:54Yes, the leader of the new WWF generation.
25:00Look at this, McMahon.
25:01This is what they've been waiting for.
25:03The Ultimate Warrior is back.
25:07It started in a Hollywood backlight.
25:11It looks like it's going to end here in the pod.
25:16These two monsters clobbering each other.
25:19I think Diesel shrunk down to about six foot seven now.
25:25I've never seen anything like this in my life.
25:28We're in overtime, McMahon.
25:30The boyhood dream has come true for Shawn Michaels.
25:43Yes, ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow night.
25:45Wait a minute, that's Bob Backlund out there.
25:48Bob Backlund out campaigning and up next.
25:51Don't go anywhere because joining us now is the leader of the new generation,
25:55Shawn Michaels.
26:18Call now.
26:38Ladies and gentlemen, he is the leader of the new WWF generation.
26:47The new World Wrestling Federation champion is Shawn Michaels.
27:11Look at this.
27:13Okay, okay, enough's enough.
27:21I got a big surprise for Shawn Michaels next week here on Raw.
27:27Yeah, you're riding high right now, but you'll get over it.
27:43He's the most flamboyant.
27:45He's the most resilient.
27:47But he's not a king.
27:57Nice hit of hair.
27:58I wonder how much it costs to mow it.
28:01All right.
28:02All right.
28:08The dream of a 12-year-old boy from San Antonio comes true just yesterday.
28:15Let's talk about the Iron Man matchup with Bret the Hitman Hart.
28:22And let's hear it for the Hitman.
28:25Boom.
28:29Folks, this interview could go on forever.
28:30We got the WWF's dual airbags.
28:32You know something, Vin Man?
28:35I have pranced on God's green earth.
28:40And now I have danced in God's blue heaven.
28:47Last night was the single greatest moment of my life.
28:55And I have these people, my clique,
29:00to thank for that moment.
29:05Got a lot of fans, all right.
29:06I got air conditioning.
29:08There were times last night when I didn't think there was any way in the world I could get back up.
29:17But these people, each time, picked me back up.
29:23And that is something that I will never, ever forget.
29:28And I want to take this time right now, whether you like me or you don't like me,
29:35it is my honor to thank each and every one of you for being there for me last night.
29:44Big deal.
29:45You better bring it back with you next week, Shawn Michaels.
29:47But they're going to need him to pick you up then.
29:50The hunt is over now.
29:51You're the hunted.
29:52They're coming after you.
29:53Jerry the King Lawler is coming after you.
29:56That's right.
29:57Right here next week.
30:01I can't wait.
30:02And not only is the King coming after you here next week,
30:06as a matter of fact, the man who's going to be over there doing color commentary
30:10is a seven-foot monster by the name of Big Daddy Cool.
30:16If there's anything left of you when I get through with you,
30:18Big Daddy Cool will finish you off.
30:21Now that is the subject that I definitely want to address.
30:24Hey, take a look at this.
30:25Remember that?
30:26That was just two weeks ago.
30:27Look at what Big Daddy Cool did to him.
30:29I'd like to talk about something else.
30:31He's not finished with you yet, Shawn Michaels.
30:32For years here in the World Wrestling Federation,
30:36we've heard about the Hitman.
30:39We've heard about the excellence of execution.
30:45All of us have been told time and time again
30:49about the man who claims to be the best there is,
30:53the best there was,
30:55and the best that there ever will be.
30:58I beat him.
30:59Well, Hitman,
31:01last night, my friend,
31:05you made a believer out of me.
31:08And Brett,
31:10if you're out there watching,
31:12you, my friend,
31:13will always be a champion in my eyes
31:18and in the eyes of the fans of the World Wrestling Federation.
31:23What's he kissing up to Brett Hart for?
31:24All right.
31:25But now...
31:26Hold on, Vin Man.
31:27I'm the champ.
31:28I'm not finished talking.
31:30You will be next week.
31:32I've been waiting for 11 years for this.
31:33You stand right there and let me finish.
31:36What'd I tell you, people?
31:39I want Brett to know.
31:41I want the Hart family to know.
31:43And I want the fans of the World Wrestling Federation to know
31:47that Shawn Michaels promises
31:50to wear this belt with the honor
31:53and the dignity
31:55and the class
31:56that Brett Hart did in the past.
32:01Oh, boy.
32:02But now...
32:03Now...
32:04Hush, hush, hush, Vin Man.
32:08That, of course, would lead us as to
32:10just how long you're going to be wearing
32:12the WWF Championship and to the match next week
32:16with that man sitting right over there.
32:19Yeah.
32:20Jerry The King Lowe.
32:21That's right.
32:25Come on.
32:26Tell him how you scared you are.
32:28Admit it, punk.
32:29I'm gonna beat you like the dog that you...
32:34Hey, shut up.
32:36Get that sign down.
32:39That's not funny.
32:40That's not funny.
32:45Don't make me lose my temper right here.
32:47Well, Kingfish.
32:53Next week,
32:55the Heartbreak Kid and his clique
32:58are gonna send you back
33:00to your white castle,
33:02if you know what I mean, Burger King.
33:05Yes, however,
33:07Big Daddy Cool Diesel
33:08will be sitting right over there.
33:09And, of course, that's the man
33:11after Jerry The King Lawler
33:12you're scheduled to square off with.
33:14This extraordinary athlete,
33:16this monster,
33:18took it to the Undertaker
33:19at WrestleMania like no one's been able to.
33:23And I would suggest
33:24he's likely to do the same with you.
33:27Well, Vin,
33:28last night,
33:30when the clock struck midnight,
33:32the celebration
33:34and the party for Shawn Michaels
33:36was definitely over.
33:38You're shaking your boots.
33:39Admit it.
33:41Big Daddy Cool,
33:42you and I were great friends,
33:43regular skipper and Gilligan.
33:45But that ship has sunk.
33:48And, Diesel,
33:49you and I make good friends,
33:51but we make better enemies.
33:53And in your house,
33:54you're gonna be eating
33:55some chin music.
33:57And myself and the clique
33:59are gonna dance
34:00all over your face.
34:03Shawn Michaels!
34:05I think I'm cute.
34:07I know I'm sexy.
34:09I've got the looks.
34:11The drive.
34:13Do all the dancing you want,
34:14Shawn Michaels.
34:16Your little party's gonna come
34:17to an abrupt halt
34:18starting next week.
34:19And like I said,
34:20if there's anything left of you
34:21after I get through with you,
34:23Big Daddy Cool Diesel
34:25will finish the job.
34:27Shawn Michaels,
34:28I'm catching you at the right time.
34:29I can't wait.
34:35Hey, everybody.
34:36Handsome Doc,
34:37come on inside
34:38the WWF Merchandise Store.
34:39Oh, man.
34:40WrestleMania was so great.
34:42Shawn Michaels made history.
34:44Now, here's your chance
34:45to own a part of history.
34:47The championship mat plaque.
34:48And we know
34:49it's the Shawn Michaels
34:50championship mat plaque.
34:52Gotta remind you,
34:53it is a limited edition.
34:55Only 4,800 of these will be made.
34:57It is a collector's item.
34:59Now, this will not be the picture.
35:00That will be on your plaque.
35:02We snapped a picture
35:03and captured the emotion of Shawn
35:04as he realized
35:06his boyhood dream
35:07and became WWF champion.
35:09And Shawn will sign
35:10each and every one
35:11of these 4,800 plaques.
35:12But that's not all.
35:14On this plaque
35:15will be a piece
35:16of the actual canvas
35:18that the greatest title match
35:20of all time was held on.
35:22Take a look at it.
35:23Roll it out.
35:24Cut it up.
35:25You have a chance
35:26to own a piece of history.
35:27A lifetime memory.
35:28The WrestleMania
35:29championship mat plaque.
35:30You know the number to call.
35:33We are back.
35:35And you know, McMahon,
35:36we spend a lot of time
35:37talking about tough guys.
35:38But if you want to see
35:39a real tough guy in action,
35:40Ed, the Biker Bagley Jr.
35:42is out there fighting traffic.
35:44He's on his way
35:45to the Weekly World News
35:46April Fool's Special
35:47coming up after Raw.
35:48Let's see how he's doing.
35:50I'm still looking
35:51for the location.
35:52I think the problem
35:53is Lewis and Clark's map here.
35:55At least I'm on
35:56my energy efficient bike.
35:57Never needs a lube job.
35:58Oh, speaking of lube jobs,
35:59there's a thief
36:00on the Weekly World News
36:01April Fool's Special
36:02who's so smooth
36:03at cleaning you out,
36:04he also cleans up.
36:05You meet him tonight
36:06after Raw.
36:08But now it's time
36:09to meet your maker.
36:11Perhaps.
36:12And then again,
36:13it may be Justin Hart Bradshaw
36:15who can capitalize
36:16on the battered
36:17and bruised condition
36:19of The Undertaker.
36:21Big Daddy Cool Diesel
36:22taking it to
36:24the man from the dark side
36:26on his way to the squared circle
36:27as we speak.
36:28Yes.
36:29Led by Paul Bearer.
36:30Down the aisle
36:31with Paul Bearer
36:32from Death Valley.
36:34Weighing 328 pounds.
36:37This is our final matchup
36:38tonight on Raw.
36:39The Undertaker.
36:41And notwithstanding,
36:42ladies and gentlemen,
36:43Shawn Michaels,
36:44the champion,
36:45the leader of the
36:46new generation,
36:47right here next week
36:48to face off against
36:49Jerry The King Lawler.
36:50I've just been told
36:51there's signed
36:52a special arm wrestling event
36:55with Ahmed Johnson
36:57and the British Bulldog.
36:59That's right.
37:00He's the real strongest man
37:01in the WWF.
37:02In addition to
37:03Yoko Tsuna.
37:04One-on-one
37:05with the monster himself,
37:07Vader.
37:09All that next week.
37:10A great deal more as well.
37:12But right now,
37:13it's The Undertaker.
37:14You talk about the phenom.
37:16Here in the WWF,
37:17The Undertaker,
37:18ladies and gentlemen.
37:19Before this capacity crack,
37:21you can feel the spirit.
37:23Yeah.
37:24I'll tell you what I can feel,
37:25McMahon.
37:26I can feel the upset
37:27of the century coming.
37:28You know what?
37:29Timing is everything.
37:30Timing is so critical.
37:32Just like I'm catching
37:33Shawn Michaels next week
37:35at the right time.
37:36He just came off
37:37the toughest match
37:38of his entire life
37:39against Bret Hart.
37:40And who gets him first?
37:41I do, McMahon.
37:42I'm gonna give him
37:43the beating because
37:44he's battered Bruce.
37:45And just like that,
37:46battered and bruised
37:47is what The Undertaker is
37:48because he just came off
37:49of a most brutal battle
37:51you've ever seen
37:52with Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
37:54And now here's
37:55Justin Hogg Bradshaw.
37:56Undefeated.
37:57Getting to take advantage
37:58of that great timing.
38:00Yes, indeed.
38:01Out of Roscoe, Texas.
38:03Oh, wait a minute.
38:04Look at this.
38:05Oh, my goodness.
38:06Justin Hogg Bradshaw
38:08hammering away
38:09on The Undertaker.
38:10Catching him from behind.
38:11Succession of knee lifts now.
38:13The Undertaker
38:14in the corner.
38:15Undertaker for the ride.
38:16Oh, no.
38:18And a boot by The Undertaker.
38:19Justin Hogg Bradshaw.
38:21Back up on his feet.
38:23Underneath the clothesline,
38:24The Undertaker and
38:25Big Slash.
38:27Justin Hogg Bradshaw.
38:29Oh, wait a minute.
38:31Bradshaw's never been in the ring
38:33with anyone
38:34quite like The Undertaker.
38:36Yeah.
38:37But The Undertaker
38:38had never been in the ring
38:39with anyone quite like
38:40Big Daddy Cool.
38:41And he left him
38:42a beaten, battered
38:43shell of his former self.
38:45Justin Hogg Bradshaw
38:47is trying to capitalize
38:49on this great opportunity.
38:50Oh, my goodness.
38:51Justin Hogg Bradshaw
38:52is gonna take it
38:53to The Undertaker.
38:54Stay with us.
38:55The match continues.
38:58And now,
38:59Milton Bradley Karate Fighter's
39:01Slam of the Week.
39:03Dole Dutch is just trying
39:04to get out of it.
39:05He's running over him.
39:06He's gonna hit him.
39:07He just hit him.
39:08He just hit Roddy Piper.
39:11This is totally out of hand.
39:12Roddy Piper was hit by a car.
39:16Is it over?
39:17What's he gonna do?
39:22Slam of the Week
39:23was brought to you by
39:24Milton Bradley Karate Fighters.
39:26The power is in your hands.
39:30We're back in The Undertaker.
39:31Finally back up on his feet.
39:33But Justin Hogg Bradshaw
39:34has been pummeling
39:35The Undertaker.
39:36And, oh, no.
39:37Oh, sidewalk slam.
39:38A cover.
39:39Two.
39:40And a check out
39:41by The Undertaker.
39:42This has been a war,
39:43McMahon.
39:44You know what?
39:45The brain of Paul Bearer
39:46must be just like
39:47The Undertaker.
39:48What do you mean by that?
39:49I mean, it must be dead.
39:50Going up to the top rope.
39:51Look at this.
39:52Justin Hogg Bradshaw.
39:54Ah, what a tackle.
39:55Why would Paul Bearer
39:56leave an open contract
39:57on The Undertaker out there
39:58for somebody like-
39:59One, two.
40:00Almost a count of three again.
40:01Like Zebacaya
40:02and Justin Hogg Bradshaw
40:03to snap up
40:04on a night like this, huh?
40:05This is April Fool's Day.
40:06It's appropriate
40:07because The Undertaker
40:08is the biggest fool
40:09in the World Wrestling Federation.
40:12The Undertaker.
40:14The Phenom.
40:16In trouble.
40:17Make no mistake about it.
40:18Yeah.
40:19And again on the top rope.
40:20Justin Hogg Bradshaw.
40:21Get it, baby.
40:22Big tension.
40:23No.
40:24Grab on cover.
40:25No.
40:26Look at that.
40:27The Undertaker does not
40:28have the power
40:29to cover
40:30Justin Hogg Bradshaw.
40:32He's hurt, McMahon.
40:33He's got one foot in the grave
40:34and the other on a banana peel.
40:36He's just about to go.
40:37It's been less than 24 hours
40:39since The Undertaker
40:40and Big Daddy Cool Diesel
40:42are going at it.
40:43Obviously.
40:44And it's taking its toll
40:45on Justin.
40:46Look at that.
40:47Justin Hogg Bradshaw
40:48fires out of that buckle.
40:49What a close one.
40:50I'm impressed with Bradshaw.
40:53Notwithstanding
40:54the damage condition
40:55The Undertaker is in.
40:56Justin Hogg Bradshaw
40:57will bring it to you.
40:58He is a great competitor.
41:02He's undefeated here, McMahon.
41:04But timing is everything.
41:07Justin Hogg Bradshaw.
41:11The new WWE-
41:12Oh my goodness.
41:13Look at that.
41:14Right on the jaw.
41:15Pays right out of
41:16The Undertaker's book.
41:21And the Undertaker-
41:22Look at his eyes.
41:24He almost looks green.
41:26Look.
41:27And reaching for the power
41:29of The Urn, I think.
41:30I'm not sure.
41:31He's begging.
41:32On his feet.
41:33Maybe not for long.
41:34Ducking.
41:35Undertaker now.
41:36Oh!
41:39Somehow, McMahon,
41:40that Urn did give him the power.
41:42He launched himself
41:43in the air.
41:44The Undertaker.
41:45Oh, no!
41:48Broken.
41:49Justin Hogg Bradshaw!
41:54Zabakaya!
41:55You better do something!
41:56The Undertaker.
41:59Trying to muster-
42:00Yes!
42:01Here he comes!
42:05Get him out of there, Zabakaya!
42:06Can he tombstone?
42:08This young rugged takes it.

42:29Look at this.
42:30Mankind taking advantage
42:32of the weakened state
42:33of The Undertaker.
42:35You got two creatures
42:36of the night there.
42:38Mankind.

43:59but not this sick!
44:06Mankind taking advantage
44:07of the weakened state
44:09of The Undertaker,

44:35It's that one deformed
44:36finger, McMahon!
44:37And he's shoving it
44:38down The Undertaker's throat!
44:40Look out!
44:41He breaks away!
44:42Look at that!

44:51and get some help out here!
44:57This is revolting!
