00:00The World Wrestling Federation, for over 50 years,
00:05the revolutionary force in sports entertainment.
00:09We thank you for joining us tonight, ladies and gentlemen, on WWF Raw.
00:16Vince McMahon here and Jerry The King Lawler on hand at ringside.
00:19We're about ready to witness the Intercontinental Championship matchup.
00:23Someone will be crowned champion right here tonight.
00:27Will it be Savio Beggar, or will it be this man led by Marlena Goldust,
00:31who's lost a little bit of weight as of late, if you know what I mean, King?
00:35Yeah, very funny, McMahon.
00:36I guess you're obviously referring to the fact that he lost the Intercontinental
00:39title belt, right?
00:40You've got that right.
00:41Well, get ready, McMahon, because I can assure you Goldust is gonna regain that
00:45weight tonight, probably faster than F. Lee Bailey gained weight in the slammer.
00:50What are you talking about?
00:51F. Lee Bailey gaining weight in a slammer?
00:53That's right.
00:53He just got out of jail, and
00:54they reported that he gained over eight pounds in just 44 days.
00:58You know what, McMahon?
00:59Eight pounds is about how much that gold belt weighs.
01:03Most people wouldn't want eight extra pounds around their waist, but
01:06believe me, Goldust wants it in the worst way.
01:08That's what it's about right here tonight, the Intercontinental title up for a grab.
01:12Someone's gonna walk from the ring as the champion.
01:14And also tonight, ladies and gentlemen, the man they call Vader in action.
01:18According to Jim Cornette,
01:20we're gonna see something we have never ever seen from Vader here in the WWF.
01:25Yeah, McMahon, and we're also gonna see some exclusive footage from Bayreuth,
01:28Germany.
01:28An altercation, if you will, just prior to In Your House this Sunday,
01:32between Jake the Snake and the British Bulldog.
01:35You gotta see this.
01:36I'm looking forward to it.
01:37Also on hand, ladies and gentlemen, the tag team combination.
01:40They're known as the Godwin family.
01:42Yeah, and Sonny has promised me she's got two huge surprises for
01:46the Godwins tonight.
01:47Is that right?
01:48In action, the deranged mankind.
01:50His first appearance since choking the Undertaker out.
01:52And McMahon, a controversial interview from Diesel, also from Germany.
01:56And not only does he have plans to destroy Shawn Michaels at In Your House, but
02:00he has also got something very special in store for you, McMahon.
02:05When did you hear this?
02:06All right, you're looking, ladies and gentlemen, at footage from last week,
02:08which led up to this rematch.
02:09Watch, Savio Vega inadvertently taking out referee Earl Hebner, and
02:12Marlena throws the Intercontinental Championship belt into Goldust,
02:15who will attempt to use it on Savio Vega.
02:17No, yes, a second referee.
02:19Tim White came down with assisting referee Earl Hebner in luck.
02:23That's right, Savio Vega used it as a weapon.
02:26Two in, it's official.
02:28The first referee Earl Hebner counting Savio Vega on to victory.
02:32Yes, the new Intercontinental Champion, however.
02:34Yeah, referee Tim White saw what really happened.
02:37And Gorilla Monsoon, positive that the WWF ended all of the controversy.
02:42Indeed, much like Solomon, you can't split the baby in two.
02:44You have to make a decision.
02:45And that decision, we're gonna have the rematch tonight.
02:48That's right, McMahon.
02:49One way or the other, there must be a winner tonight.
02:52State advisories, big down, ladies and gentlemen.
02:54Savio Vega, Savio Vega, ready for action.
02:57And Savio, can you hear us?
02:59Yes, I hear you, Fizz.
03:00Savio, let me ask you a question.
03:02I know you're shaking in your boots right now.
03:04I know you're scared of that-
03:05And here he comes, Savio Vega, he is ready for
03:10action here tonight on Raw, the Intercontinental Title.
03:16Hanging in the balance, ladies and gentlemen.
03:27What a way to kick things off here tonight on Raw.
03:29We welcome you once again.
03:31In addition, the Intercontinental Title matchup.
03:33One hand tonight, ladies and gentlemen, in action.
03:35The man they call Vader with some sort of first time hand,
03:38according to Jim Cornette.
03:40We're gonna have footage from Germany involving the British Bulldog and
03:43Jake the Snake Roberts.
03:44We've got the Godwin family here in action.
03:47We've got as well, mankind, that deranged individual also.
03:50Yeah, McMahon, but speaking of footage from Germany,
03:52wait till you see the interview from Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
03:55He's gonna talk about what he's gonna do to Shawn Michaels and
03:57what he's gonna do to you, McMahon.
03:59Here we go.
04:00Balance rocking, look at this, here we go.
04:02Goldust and Savio Vega hammering it out.
04:05Goldust trying to slap his way to gain an advantage.
04:08Savio Vega sets up Goldust for the ride.
04:10Offhand, what a clothesline.
04:13This is a tremendous opportunity for Savio Vega.
04:15Savio Vega now sets up Goldust once again.
04:18Off the rope and big power slam.
04:21Into a cover and too late.
04:22Almost got him, and your fault for Savio Vega.
04:25Well, McMahon, Goldust and Marlena admitted there's some concern this week.
04:28Because you see, unlike last week,
04:30when all Goldust had to do was avoid losing,
04:32this week he's gotta find a way to win to regain that Intercontinental title.
04:36And Goldust trying to collect his thoughts.
04:37Wait a minute, Savio Vega is pressing on.
04:39He's not gonna give Goldust that breather, no.
04:41What a shot.
04:42Vega now, yeah.
04:44Now Vega can get back in that ring.
04:45And you can count Goldust out.
04:47Get up, Goldust.
04:48Vega is still out there with Goldust.
04:50Here he goes.
04:50Vega with Goldust.
04:51What's he gonna do with him?
04:52Hauls him back in.
04:53Savio Vega on his feet.
04:55Goldust from the other side.
04:57Yeah.
04:57What a maneuver.
04:59Rocking Savio Vega.
05:00Another uppercut.
05:02And Goldust back in control.
05:04We expect a seesaw matchup, much like the one we saw last week.
05:08Savio Vega set up for the ride.
05:10To the buckle with authority.
05:11Here comes Goldust, and yeah.
05:13Goldust trying to dominate the matchup now.
05:16Look at this.
05:17Taunting Savio Vega.
05:18Goldust a master of psychology in there.
05:20Whoa, wait a minute.
05:22Goldust trying to get control of the match.
05:23He's trying to get Savio Vega off guard.
05:25And now you get ready, he's done just that.
05:27To the buckle, look out, here he comes.
05:29No, Vega moving out of the way just in the nick of time.
05:31Savio Vega hammering on the back now.
05:33Vega trying to get the cowardly Goldust.
05:36Behind the official's back, did you see that?
05:39Yes, I did, McMahon.
05:40Hey, and don't make so much out of this.
05:42A kiss is just a kiss.
05:44That was just a ploy on the part of Goldust.
05:46You don't think anybody would actually enjoy kissing Savio Vega, do you?
05:50Now, Marlena, that's a different story.
05:52And you know that shot reminds me, McMahon.
05:54Did you know that 36% of bosses peek at their employees' email?
05:59What does that have to do with the Intercontinental title?
06:02Being up for grabs here tonight.
06:03Come on, the championship is up for grabs.
06:06It's Goldust against Savio Vega.
06:08And you get back to The Ultimate Warrior.
06:09Whom we'll hear from later on.
06:10The man who faces Goldust this Sunday night on pay-per-view is watching.
06:14Hey, stop peeking, McMahon.
06:16And there, the bizarre one.
06:18Goldust in a concerned look on Marlena's face.
06:21And that reminds me of the two foam giants.
06:24They're about to merge.
06:26What?
06:27Bell Atlantic and Ninex.
06:28Hadn't you heard that?
06:30Please, where's your brain?
06:32Savio Vega against Goldust, ladies and gentlemen.
06:33Savio Vega has been on a roll as of late.
06:36Great momentum.
06:37Last week's victory over Goldust.
06:38A recent victory over Stone Cold Steve Austin as well.
06:41Come on, McMahon.
06:42Yeah.
06:42Savio put on some silly mask and called himself the Caribbean Kid.
06:45Nonetheless, that victory.
06:46And Vega, you can feel it here in this capacity crowd.
06:49Vega, once again with all the controversy, cleared once and for all.
06:54Will be named Intercontinental Champion tonight.
06:56Goldust is desperate.
06:58Goldust now, setting up Savio Vega.
07:00Continuing, yeah, that's it, cover him.
07:03Cover him, Savio.
07:04Cover him.
07:06Welcome back everyone to more WWF action during the break.
07:08Goldust has turned the tide indeed.
07:10Now it's Goldust all over Savio Vega.
07:12Hanging in the balance, the Intercontinental Championship.
07:14That's right, McMahon.
07:15You get all excited when Savio makes one move.
07:18Savio Vega has about as much chance of winning this match tonight as
07:22Jimmy the Greek does in returning to CBS.
07:24Jimmy the Greek, in case you don't know, passed away.
07:27I know, that's what I mean.
07:29Hey, two to one odds, it'll be an open casket funeral.
07:31Please, be nice.
07:32No, no, eight to five says the cremating.
07:35Let's pay attention to the action here.
07:37Marlena, the director, looking on.
07:38Goldust- Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute.
07:40Look at it, Marlena there reminds me of something else I read today.
07:42Two out of three Americans are overweight.
07:45What?
07:46Goldust and Savio Vega.
07:48Goldust now working on the left leg of Savio Vega.
07:51Watch this now.
07:52Goldust, okay, there you go to the Goldust machinations.
07:56And up and down across the knee.
07:58Goldust with the advantage.
08:00The rematch here tonight, ladies and gentlemen, from last week.
08:02We're trying to clear up all the confusion, all the controversy.
08:06And unfortunately, for Savio Vega, it looks like Goldust right now is in control.
08:11That's right, McMahon.
08:12You know Goldust loves it when I use movie titles in the commentary of his match.
08:16And I think right now,
08:17Savio Vega is suffering from primal fear of Goldust, wouldn't you say?
08:20I would suggest Goldust is flirting with disaster.
08:24More like it, The Ultimate Warrior.
08:25Making reference to Goldust starring in his own full-length feature.
08:29According to The Ultimate Warrior, Goldust is gonna have his keister kick from
08:33start to finish.
08:35And that, of course, is this Sunday night, ladies and gentlemen,
08:38on pay-per-view, The Ultimate Warrior against Goldust.
08:42However, Goldust not likely to be this Sunday night wearing the Intercontinental
08:47Championship belt into the ring because Savio Vega just won't quit.
08:50We know there's no quit in Savio Vega.
08:53Well, he may not quit, but he's sure stressed out, McMahon.
08:56Stressed out.
08:57That's right, three out of four adults claim that they're stressed out at least
09:00once a week.
09:01What does that?
09:02Where are you?
09:03This is Raw.
09:04This is Monday night.
09:05We're at ringside.
09:06Where is your head?
09:08What do you mean, where's my head?
09:09Look at this.
09:09Goldust applying more pressure.
09:11Referee Mike Chioda right there to take care of business.
09:15Gorilla Monsoon, President of WWE,
09:16making sure neither two individuals in the last match were here.
09:19And we have, no, that hand almost hit the mat.
09:25But Savio Vega will not surrender.
09:28Come on, Goldust.
09:29Relieve him of that stress.
09:30Put him to sleep.
09:31Vega must make his move.
09:33Goldust thus far has been quite effective with his antics,
09:37with his physicality as well.
09:39As long as Savio Vega keeps his focus on the matchup with Goldust,
09:44he's gonna be all right.
09:45Unquestionably, the Ultimate Warrior looking forward to this Sunday night and
09:49his date with destiny.
09:50We picked up these pre-recorded comments.
09:53Maybe you Goldust haven't taken the time to realize that my heart is already taken.
09:58Taken by those that have always believed.
10:01Filled with the passion and a love for devastation and destruction.
10:06The Intercontinental Belt and the medal of it is not what I come for.
10:11To bust open a hole in your house is what I believe.
10:15There's gonna be squealing Goldust and
10:18you're gonna be the biggest squealing pig of all.
10:22Aah!
10:24Wow, McMahon, speaking of movies, did you ever see Ned Batey in Deliverance?
10:28My goodness!
10:30Yes, but what does that have to do with anything?
10:32Well, the Ultimate Warrior sure does have a pretty-
10:36Hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
10:37The Ultimate Warrior, ladies and gentlemen,
10:40with his opportunity to face Goldust this Sunday night on pay-per-view.
10:43Yes, of course, it is.
10:45Good friends, better enemies.
10:47Shawn Michaels, one on one,
10:49defending a WWF title against Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
10:53More on that a little bit later on.
10:54Yeah, you're not kidding.
10:56Right now, Goldust hammering away on Savio Vega.
10:58Goldust and Vega, two consummate athletes.
11:02And unfortunately, it appears as though the left leg of Vega has been.
11:07My engine, wait a minute, left leg of Goldust finds its mark.
11:10Goldust now with the cover, one, two, and no!
11:14Unbelievable desire on the part of Savio Vega.
11:17Vega, the kind of athlete, unquestionably,
11:19that would have been a top pick in the NFL Draft this past weekend.
11:21He has great desire to Savio Vega.
11:24And look at Marlena, I think she's just as bizarre as Goldust.
11:27Well, you want to talk about bizarre couples, McMahon, and the NFL Draft.
11:31What about the LA, no, the St.
11:33Louis Rams and that Georgia Frontier, whoever she is?
11:36The only team with a female owner, and they draft Laurence Phillips, go figure.
11:41Savio Vega is in trouble.
11:43No, look at that.
11:45That wasn't fair.
11:46It was certainly fair and quite clever on the part of Savio Vega.
11:49Goldust face first to that iron ring post, and
11:53he is suffering the consequences, in case you just joined us.
11:57Yet in action, ladies and gentlemen, the man they call Vader,
12:00the Godwin family, here along with the deranged mankind.
12:04We're gonna have exclusive footage from Germany involving the British Bulldog.
12:09Wait, what is this?
12:12McMahon, what is Stone Cold Steve Austin doing out here?
12:17Come on, McMahon, you know whenever there's gold at stake,
12:19the Million Dollar Man is gonna be close at hand.
12:22Savio Vega must get back to his feet.
12:25Vega back in the corner, and the opportunist, the bizarre one,
12:29Goldust, hammering away at Stone Cold Steve Austin.
12:32And Ted DiBiase, look on.
12:34And look at Goldust, McMahon.
12:35He's getting Savio Vega right where he wants him.
12:38Goldust, many would state, ladies and gentlemen,
12:40unquestionably the most bizarre superstar in the WWF.
12:43Some say he is pure genius when it comes to distracting WWF stars.
12:48Superstar, well, it's histrionics.
12:50Look out, from now, Savio Vega is focused.
12:53My God.
12:54Who is gonna be crowned Intercontinental Champion here tonight?
12:59And what's that man doing here?
13:02Stone Cold Steve Austin looking on.
13:04And Savio Vega has been taking a tremendous beating by, wait a minute.
13:07One, two, and he got him.
13:09No, Vega almost pulling it out.
13:11Savio Vega.
13:12And Goldust here for the Intercontinental Championship here tonight on Raw.
13:16Somehow, I believe Savio Vega is still gonna win this matchup.
13:22Look at that.
13:24Savio, Savio looks like a dead man walking.
13:26Look at this, here we go.
13:29It's the curtain call, McMahon.
13:30Savio Vega gave it a gallant effort.
13:32It's over.
13:33No, no, no.
13:35From the other side.
13:36My goodness.
13:37Vega gonna give him that kick, just covering.
13:39How did he do that?
13:40Look at that.
13:41Good turn, look at the face of Ted DiBiase.
13:43Savio Vega, what's that?
13:44One, two.
13:45I can't believe it.
13:46No.
13:47He had a three count.
13:48He had a three count.
13:49His shoulder, Goldust's shoulder was up.
13:51Well, if it was, it was just barely up.
13:53Savio Vega, ladies and gentlemen,
13:55wants more than anything else in the world to be crowned the Intercontinental Champion.
13:59Vega now, discussing with the official.
14:01Come on, to me that was a three count.
14:03It was not a two count.
14:04Goldust back up on his feet.
14:06Look out, here he comes.
14:06He's discussing, whoa.
14:07Save him.
14:08What do you got now?
14:09This time he'll get him.
14:10He got him.
14:12Well, that time I saw the shoulder up.
14:14Vega now sets up Goldust for the ride.
14:17Vega's got the momentum.
14:18And then that, yes, just like that, it's turned right back around.
14:22Give credit to both of these athletes who are giving it their all.
14:25Wait a minute. What's she doing up there?
14:27Hey, come on, get down.
14:28Get down from there.
14:30She's not hurting anything.
14:31Vega now drives Goldust, rolls him on.
14:34One, two, three, turn around, ref.
14:36Hey, wait a minute.
14:37Come on, coach, get up there.
14:38Get up there, Steve.
14:39Austin Vega's- No, behind him, he shows back.
14:43Austin just leveled Savio Vega with a million dollar championship
14:47Molyneux slinks down.
14:50No, not this way.
14:53No, come on, ref.
14:54One, two, three.
14:56New champion.
14:58I can't believe what we've seen.
15:00We've seen a travesty of justice here tonight on Raw.
15:03Come on, McMahon.
15:04McMahon has no business being the Intercontinental Champion.
15:07Nonetheless, give credit to Savio Vega who gave it his all.
15:10Unfortunately, Stone Cold Steve Austin saw that Vega would not be the Intercontinental
15:15Champion, but nobody, nobody can stop the wrath of the ultimate warrior.
15:21This Sunday night on pay-per-view, the warrior one-on-one with the Bizarre One,
15:26Goldust, and the title will be up for grabs.
15:29I can see it now.
15:31Goldust is gonna really stick it to the ultimate warrior this Sunday night, McMahon.
15:35As we go back now, Stone Cold Steve Austin nailing Savio Vega.
15:39You can bet Vega, ladies and gentlemen, will live to fight another day.
15:42He could even score with what Stone Cold and perhaps with Goldust.
15:46Unless, of course, the ultimate warrior does it for him.
15:51By the way, the warrior's on America Online live tomorrow night, 9 o'clock Eastern.
15:54He crashed the system at WrestleMania, joining him tomorrow night on AOL.
15:58The ultimate warrior, the most reckless individual in the history of the WWF,
16:03on his way this Sunday night on pay-per-view.
16:05Come into your house and face Goldust.
16:08In 30 seconds, McMahon and the Call of Vader's coming down the aisle.
16:12Anger.
16:14One man feels used by the system and has unleashed his wrath without prejudice.
16:19Betrayal.
16:20One man, victimized by heinous acts, has suffered a more profound pain.
16:25The loss of a friend.
16:28Vengeance, when good friends become better enemies.
16:32Passionate hate raged with absolute abandon.
16:35Shawn Michaels, Big Daddy Cool Diesel, no holds barred.
16:40When it's over, only their hatred will survive.
16:44Here comes the man, ladies and gentlemen,
16:49unquestionably with no friends.
16:51And he's making new enemies each and every week.
16:53Yes, it is their time.
16:55I kind of like him.
16:56On his way to the Square and Circle for our WWF action.
16:59Speaking of which, the international tour in Germany winding up tonight in Munich.
17:03And of course, we're looking forward to seeing all of our fans on in Omaha.
17:06On the pay-per-view extravaganza, it's Sunday night.
17:10What about one week from tonight, big man?
17:12Raw's gonna be coming to you live from Sioux City, Iowa.
17:15And the ultimate warrior's gonna be there.
17:17I got a big surprise for him.
17:18Championship belt, or no, he's gonna face Isaac Yankum.
17:21And I'm gonna be in the corner of Isaac Yankum.
17:24Imagine that, live next week from Sioux City.
17:27And a warrior against Isaac Yankum with a king in the corner.
17:30What about the action yet to come?
17:31One week from tomorrow night in Des Moines, Iowa.
17:33And then, ladies and gentlemen, a month to May.
17:35International touring in Kuwait as well as, back over here,
17:39the king along with the warrior invader in Erie, Pennsylvania, Hamilton, Ontario,
17:43Syracuse, New York, Binghamton, New York.
17:45And then later in the month, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Madison Square Garden gets
17:49set, and we're set now for action.
17:51Speaking of which, let's take you back now.
17:52Let's show you the very first impression Vader made here in the WWF.
17:56Watch this now.
17:57I love it, I love it, watch this.
17:58Yeah, you saw it there, McMahon.
18:00But conveniently, what was left out of this footage was the fact
18:03that Gorilla Monsoon had chopped Vader.
18:05He provoked Vader into these actions.
18:08And then, not only did he take care of Gorilla Monsoon,
18:10look what he did to Yokozuna, McMahon.
18:13Time and time again, over 450 pounds of Vader
18:17came crashing down across the leg of Yokozuna.
18:20Had you ever seen a man as big as Yokozuna crying like a baby, McMahon?
18:24It was fantastic.
18:25And then they had to carry him out of the ring on a forklift.
18:29Yokozuna out of action as we speak, ladies and gentlemen.
18:32The leg was not broken, but nonetheless, the effect was the same.
18:35But right now, here comes someone who's gonna give Vader a run for
18:39his money for sure.
18:41Here comes a man who can make a difference.
18:43Here comes Fatu.
18:44However, what will Vader attempt to do to Fatu?
18:47We've seen what he has done.
18:48The president of the World Wrestling Federation, Gorilla Monsoon, to Yokozuna.
18:52What happens to Fatu here tonight?
18:55It's not gonna be a pretty sight, McMahon.
18:56And it's not gonna be pretty what Vader's gonna do to Razor Ramon,
19:00I can assure you that.
19:01Yeah, the bad guy Razor Ramon trying to send Vader straight on pay-per-view
19:05this Sunday night.
19:06But tonight, McMahon, there's gonna be a first.
19:08We've been promised by Jim Cornette that we're gonna see Vader do something for
19:12the first time.
19:12Yeah, if that's your first time, he wouldn't shake your hand, Fatu wouldn't.
19:15Big deal, I don't wanna shake his hand.
19:17I wanna see what Vader's gonna do to him here tonight.
19:20I can't wait.
19:22We're back with more WWF Raw.
19:23Not surprisingly, Vader has jumped the gun.
19:25We're joining the matchup in progress here.
19:27Vader against Fatu.
19:29Look at Vader go.
19:30Yeah, McMahon, when you're in the ring with Vader,
19:32the match starts when he wants it to, and it ends when he wants it to.
19:36How do you think it's gonna end this Sunday night on pay-per-view when
19:38the bad guy Razor Ramon gets in there with the man they call Vader?
19:42Well, let me just say this.
19:43I can assure you that the canvas on that ring is gonna look like the floor and
19:47the Jiffy Lube when Vader gets through with Razor.
19:49Whoa, we almost had it then.
19:52You're not kidding.
19:54Wait a minute.
19:55But look at that, Fatu is so big, so strong.
19:57Fatu with a clothesline a moment ago, from the near side, and yes, Vader down.
20:01Fatu, big 300 pounder, definitely making a difference here in this matchup.
20:05And imagine if Vader loses this match to Fatu.
20:08Vader would not have that all-important momentum facing the bad guy,
20:12Razor Ramon, and what's this?
20:14Look out, a Bulldog successfully done.
20:17And you can bet somewhere, Yokozuna is enjoying this matchup.
20:21No doubt with his leg up in the air.
20:22Nonetheless, enjoying what's going on at the moment.
20:25And unquestionably, counting the days down.
20:28Here we go, until Yoko gets back into the ring and
20:31settles the score with Vader meanwhile.
20:33Yes, got him done.
20:35Cornette, what's going on here?
20:37That's what you were gonna see, something never before.
20:39Look at this.
20:39Wait a minute, I can't believe Vader got up after that.
20:42How can Vader get up?
20:43No.
20:46That splash off the top rope didn't even faze Vader.
20:49Somehow, Vader got back up after that devastating splash from the top rope.
20:56He's a monster, McMahon.
20:56He is a monster, there's no doubt about it.
20:58But what kind of a man would do to Gorilla Monsoon?
21:00What kind of a man would do to Yokozuna what he did?
21:03Hey, hey, wait a minute.
21:06What's he doing?
21:07He's going all the way to the top.
21:09This must be it, McMahon.
21:11He's going to the very top rung of the ladder.
21:14A moonsault from the top rung of the ladder.
21:17We've never seen that before here in the WWF.
21:19And Vader beats Fatu convincingly.
21:23450 pounds of mass muscle moonsaulting, McMahon.
21:29Have you ever in your life?
21:30Wow.
21:31Yeah, but what happens when Vader is on the receiving end of the Razor's Edge
21:36this Sunday night on pay-per-view?
21:39It's not gonna be Vader time.
21:40It's gonna be the bad guy's time.
21:43Don't bet on it, McMahon.
21:44Take a look at this.
21:45Fatu came off the top rope with everything he had.
21:48And that's what he got for all his trouble.
21:50And from there, that moonsault.
21:52But right now, ladies and gentlemen, let's show you another first, yes.
21:55Footage from the recent live WWF tour going on in Germany.
21:58Winding up, as we said before, tonight in Munich, but Frankfurt, Berlin, Hamburg.
22:01And recent footage as well, shot in Bayreuth.
22:04Yes, the WWF superstars' worldwide popularity continues to abound.
22:11And yes, Bret the Hitman Hart, ladies and gentlemen,
22:14wooing the capacity crowds all over the world.
22:18They like the Hitman in Germany?
22:19The Hitman voted three years in a row
22:21the most popular athlete in Germany.
22:22Beating out Boris Becker, Steffi Graf, and individuals like that.
22:25But you wanna talk popularity, you gotta be talking.
22:28The leader of the new WWF generation.
22:31Yes, Shawn Michaels, the new World Wrestling Federation champion.
22:35However, in any language, ladies and gentlemen, yes,
22:38the youngsters know that WWF spells fun.
22:41That wrestling or Oktoberfest over there, McMahon?
22:44Well, it was action and pleniotic.
22:46And what a matchup it was.
22:47It was Jake the Snake Roberts.
22:48And now we're gonna show you this exclusive footage.
22:50Jake the Snake in action against Owen Hart.
22:53Look at this.
22:53A hard fought matchup all the way.
22:55Nonetheless, Jake finally was able to get Owen Hart down.
22:58And then called for the DDT.
23:01He didn't have him, McMahon.
23:02He would have never beaten him.
23:03Jake the Snake Roberts summarily hooked up Owen Hart.
23:06Yes.
23:07However, would he have had the three count?
23:09We'll never know.
23:10The very man who will face Jake the Snake Roberts on pay-per-view this Sunday night
23:15would not stand idly by and watch his brother-in-law be pinned by Jake the Snake.
23:21No. That's right.
23:22The British Bulldog.
23:23Look what he did.
23:24He came into the ring, obviously deliberately disqualifying his own
23:28brother-in-law, Owen Hart.
23:30But he didn't care because Bulldog wanted to set the stage for this Sunday night.
23:35Watch this, McMahon.
23:36Watch, react.
23:37I see it.
23:37The clothesline.
23:38Bulldog trying to send a lesson to Jake the Snake Roberts as to what was going to
23:43happen when they get into the ring this Sunday night.
23:47I can guarantee you right at this point,
23:48Jake the Snake thought he had been hit by Max Schmelle.
23:52Jake the Snake Roberts suffering the consequences from the blatant
23:55disqualification, the blatant attack by the British Bulldog.
23:59Yeah, now Jake the Snake's laying there like he got run over out on the autobahn.
24:03The British Bulldog, nonetheless, would have his problems.
24:07As finally, Jake would get back up.
24:09The Bulldog distracted by Owen Hart on the outside of the ring and the official.
24:13McMahon, look at this.
24:14I see it.
24:15The match was over.
24:16Nonetheless, it wasn't over for Jake the Snake.
24:18It was only the beginning.
24:19And finally, clipping the jaw of the Bulldog and knocking him down to the canvas.
24:23And that wasn't all.
24:24Cheating, McMahon, cheating.
24:25That wasn't all.
24:26Because Jake the Snake Roberts, watch what he does to the Bulldog now.
24:30Atomic knee drop, and now, there's only one thing left to do.
24:34What? Bulldog wanted to give Jake the Snake a little taste of what was gonna
24:37happen this Sunday night.
24:39But Jake the Snake said, why don't we reverse things?
24:43Why don't I let the British Bulldog know what it's like?
24:46He set him up, yes.
24:47He wound him up, and then, that same short arm clothesline.
24:50There was only one thing left to do.
24:53No. As Jake the Snake looked at the back.
24:55The capacity crowd, McMahon, in Bayreuth, Germany.
24:59They wanted to see what we wanted to see.
25:02No.
25:03Yes. Wait a minute, McMahon.
25:04They wanted to see that monstrous snake, and there he was.
25:08No.
25:09Jake lifted him high for all to see.
25:11And the day's British Bulldog was soon to feel.
25:16Get out of there, Bulldog.
25:17Python wrapping around his very own throat.
25:21That huge, slimy snake.
25:22Look at, that snake's all over him.
25:24And the Python squeezing.
25:26It's wrapped around his throat.
25:27The British Bulldog in a bulldog.
25:30Having apoplexy, finally, the Bulldog run for cover.
25:34The snake was all right, but the Bulldog will never be the same.
25:42Tonight, on the Night Raw.
25:43Brought to you by Winter Fresh Cup.
25:45A Brick Lane for icy, cool breath, met glass.
25:49All right, we're ready for action.
25:50Unfortunately, Jerry the King Lawler,
25:52during the break, left the announced position,
25:53allegedly to go back to the Potty Donna's locker room.
25:56As a matter of fact, we have Sonny
25:58and the Potty Donnas on hand as we speak.
26:00You know, I think there's been a little too much hog slopping
26:03going around the World Wrestling Federation.
26:05And it's about time the manager of the year
26:07and the new tag team champions
26:09give those Godwins a little taste of their own medicine.
26:12All right, well, Sonny along with the Potty Donnas,
26:14and the King is, here he comes.
26:16The King is coming back.
26:17We're, yes, we're ready for action here,
26:19but Jerry the King Lawler, where have you been?
26:21What have you been up to?
26:22Oh, McMahon, I can't believe it.
26:23I saw him.
26:24I mean, I saw it.
26:25You saw what?
26:26I saw the surprise that Sonny's talking about.
26:27And if she shows us what she showed me back there,
26:30we may have to get a new rating for Raw.
26:32Sonny's coming out here?
26:33Yes.
26:35Oh my gosh, McMahon, you're not gonna believe it.
26:36Wait a minute, now we've got Tajiri in there
26:38in the moment against Finneas.
26:40Of course, Finneas is the individual we stated before.
26:42Oh, missing with the elbow.
26:44Finneas, the individual most distracted.
26:46Look at that maneuver.
26:47A cover, two.
26:48And still.
26:49If you thought he was distracted before, McMahon,
26:51wait till he sees Sonny tonight.
26:53All right, Tim Patterson now to try his luck with Finneas.
26:56As if Finneas would have a chance with Sonny.
26:58I heard he sent his picture to the Lonely Hearts Club.
27:00They sent back and said, we're not that lonely.
27:03Feature action there.
27:04Who knows what kind of action we're gonna see
27:06with Sonny. I do.
27:07All right, time to call the Hawks.
27:08Here we go.
27:10The Godwins, ladies and gentlemen,
27:11on hand this Sunday night on pay-per-view
27:14to take the WBF Tag Team Championship
27:16from Capote Donuts.
27:17Patterson clipping the jaw of old Henry.
27:20Hank now for the ride.
27:21No reversal.
27:22Patterson to the button.
27:23And, uh-oh, what's he doing here?
27:26What would you call that, King?
27:27Somewhat of a bear hug.
27:28Now, Hell, it's more of a bear hug.
27:29I don't know.
27:30All I wanna do is call Sonny out here.
27:32Come on, Sonny.
27:33Hey, hey, here she comes, McMahon.
27:34Now, wait a minute.
27:35Oh, where is she?
27:36My heart beats still.
27:37There she, oh my goodness, yes.
27:39Look what I got.
27:40Look what she's got, McMahon.
27:41Look at those two.
27:42I see the championship belts,
27:44and she's coming out here for no good.
27:47She's distracting the Godwins for sure.
27:49And Patterson having difficulty.
27:51Look at Phineas already.
27:52I say Phineas is looking right down at her
27:54along with Hillbilly Jim.
27:56Now, she's not gonna distract him after-
27:58Hey!
27:59Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.
28:00Hillbilly Jim's got Old Blue.
28:01Old Blue's coming after.
28:03Old Blue's going after Sonny.
28:06Look at that.
28:07Hillbilly Jim and Old Blue.
28:07And I think we have seen the last of Sonny.
28:10Oh, no, you haven't, McMahon.
28:11What do you mean?
28:12Sonny's got Hillbilly Jim right where she wants him now.
28:14Ha ha, wait till you see the look on Jim's face
28:16when he comes back out of there.
28:17The Godwins, ladies and gentlemen,
28:19without the services of their manager, Hillbilly Jim,
28:21and Phineas just might have been distracting
28:24a little bit more than we thought he would.
28:25And whoa, wide open Patterson.
28:27It's a plan, McMahon.
28:28It's a master plan by Sonny and the Body Tynus.
28:31Phineas and Henry, the Godwin family,
28:35they would be the WWF Tag Team Champions,
28:38ladies and gentlemen.
28:39They have their opportunity this Sunday night on pay-per-view.
28:42Yeah, they'll be the Tag Team Champions when pigs fly.
28:45Well, rumors have been abounding
28:47that Sonny has been attempting to see Phineas
28:49on the side, so to speak.
28:50Oh, come on, McMahon.
28:51It's a plot.
28:52It's a plan.
28:53I guarantee it.
28:54The Body Tynus are here tonight, too.
28:56Just wait and see what happens.
28:57You're gonna love this.
28:58I don't know about that.
28:59You know, they say anything can happen here
29:00in the World Wrestling Federation,
29:01but sometimes things don't happen, too.
29:03I don't think we're gonna see the Body Tynus out here.
29:06I don't think they're gonna show their face out here
29:08in front of the Godwin family.
29:09I've already seen something tonight, McMahon,
29:11and Hillbilly Jim's probably seen it right now himself,
29:14and you're gonna see the Body Tynus-
29:15Oh, here it comes.
29:16Here comes the Slapjack.
29:17Wait a minute.
29:18And down.
29:20And that's what, and a little rooting going on.
29:22It's not a cover, a count, and a victory.
29:25Told you.
29:26That wasn't supposed to happen.
29:27Godwins, ladies and gentlemen.
29:29Certainly no living with Sonny since WrestleMania-
29:31Hey, wait a minute.
29:32Hey, wait a minute.
29:33Wait a minute.
29:34Wait a minute, Cap.
29:35The Body Tynus.
29:36Skip and Zip coming in.
29:38Skip and Zip attacking.
29:39But Finneas holding his own.
29:40Wait a minute.
29:41Henry Godwin.
29:42Oh, no, into that ring post.
29:43See, McMahon, they didn't have
29:44Hillbilly Jim out here to warn them.
29:46This is great.
29:47And Zip set up now by Finneas coming out from the other side.
29:50What a clothesline.
29:52What a devastating maneuver.
29:53Double team effort now.
29:55Skip and Zip, both Body Tynus.
29:58Look what they're doing to Finneas.
30:00It's easy to trick the simple mind,
30:03I can't believe what we're seeing.
30:05Don't tell me.
30:06No.
30:09Come on, boys.
30:09Can you believe what they're doing?
30:11They're cramming that slot.
30:13They're cramming that hot slot down into the face of Finneas.
30:16Look at this.
30:18That's not slot, McMahon.
30:19That's Prima Crystal suit.
30:21I can't believe what the Body Tynus are doing.
30:25They're trying to humiliate Finneas.
30:27And they're getting out of touch now
30:29because Henry Godwin is back up on his feet
30:31and coming after them.
30:32Soup's on.
30:35Soup's on, how dare you?
30:36Look at that, ooh wee.
30:40And unfortunately for Finneas Godwin,
30:43he has tasted, hey, I know what he's tasting, McMahon.
30:47He's tasting defeat.
30:48No, he's tasting pig's feet.
30:51Ooh wee.
30:52Next in action, the most deranged man
30:54in the history of the WWF, Mankind.
30:56McMahon, if you think you're about to lose your lunch
30:58watching this, wait until you hear
30:59what Big Daddy Cool Diesel said he's gonna do to you.
31:03Do to me?
31:04Yeah.
31:05Stay with us.
31:06We're back and we thank you for joining us tonight
31:08on WWF Raw, and we understand what's going on
31:11back in the locker room area with the Body Tynus.
31:14Oh, I'm telling you, they're really celebrating.
31:16Sonny has done it again.
31:18She's pulled it off, McMahon.
31:19She's made fools, well no, God beat him to that.
31:22But they made fools once again of those idiot hillbillies.
31:26The tag team title will be up for grabs
31:27this Sunday night on pay-per-view,
31:29as well as the bad guy, Reyes Ramon,
31:31against the man they call Vader, the Ultimate Warrior,
31:34against once again, Intercontinental Champion, Goldust.
31:38And of course, good friends, better enemies,
31:40more on that later.
31:42Take a look, if you would, at this deranged individual.
31:47Wow.
31:49The first time we saw this man here on Raw,
31:51he was victorious.
31:52He returned to the ring, however,
31:54during the Undertaker's match,
31:55and look what he actually did to the Undertaker.
31:57Unbelievable.
31:58Now, who would have the guts to get into the ring
32:01and interfere in an Undertaker match?
32:04Only an individual of this mental capacity.
32:06You're right, McMahon, deranged.
32:09And then from there, look what he did.
32:11Oh!
32:12Off that apron, driving the elbow,
32:14and then talk about driving.
32:16He did the same thing to the Undertaker
32:18that he does to his opponents.
32:21He jammed those two fingers down the throat
32:23all the way down to the epiglottis,
32:25as far down as he could get them,
32:26down into the Undertaker.
32:28I'm not so sure that the Undertaker will ever be the same
32:32after this deranged individual
32:34has been literally down his throat.
32:36Look at this.
32:37What'd you say, the epiglottis?
32:39The epiglottis.
32:39Ugh.
32:41All right, and here we go.
32:42Now, what can Aldo Montoya do against this deranged man?
32:47That's what he can do!
32:48What?
32:49Aldo Montoya.
32:50Trying to take it to Mankind.
32:52Mankind being hammered down by Aldo Montoya.
32:55And retaliating now is Mankind with a headbutt now.
32:58Mankind probably the closest thing here in the WWF
33:01you'll ever get to Freddy Krueger.
33:03Yeah, Mankind would give Freddy Krueger nightmares.
33:06Look out.
33:07Mankind all over Aldo Montoya.
33:10And Aldo Montoya, who's had a share of victories
33:13here in the WWF as of late,
33:15is in an uphill battle.
33:17Make no mistake about that.
33:19Look.
33:21This man actually gets so carried away in a ring.
33:24Listen to him.
33:25He pulls his own hair out.
33:28Right from the roots, that's his hair.
33:30Look at that.
33:31Wow.
33:32First he'll pull yours out too.
33:33There's no telling what he'll do.
33:34Well, he'll pull yours off if he's not careful.
33:36Let's keep him in the ring.
33:38Aldo Montoya on the receiving end of the attack
33:42by the man known as Mankind.
33:45And you wonder, is The Undertaker watching this match?
33:48And if he is, what is going on in The Undertaker's mind?
33:53I got a better question.
33:55What's going on in the mind of Mankind?
33:57Here's a guy that thinks anybody that's not missing a body part is a sissy.
34:03Mankind.
34:04A deranged individual just may have broken the nose there as he rammed
34:08the knee into the face.
34:10We'll take another look at it.
34:11Wow. Look at that.
34:13Mankind.
34:14Forget about it.
34:16Unbelievable.
34:18We're gonna have to take this break, ladies and gentlemen.
34:20No, wait a minute, McMahon.
34:21Don't take a break.
34:22I'm telling you, you're fixing to see something horrible.
34:25He's gonna disfigure Aldo.
34:25Disfigure him?
34:28We're back with more Raw.
34:29Mankind stalking Aldo Montoya now.
34:31Has him set up for the ride off the rope and a slide by Montoya.
34:35A right hand clipping a jaw, another one.
34:37Look at this, Aldo Montoya mounting an offense.
34:41Montoya now coming from the buckle and drop kicks and no place to go there.
34:46Nice maneuver on the part of Aldo Montoya.
34:47You better stay on him, Montoya.
34:48I'm not kidding, though.
34:49Irish maneuver coming up now.
34:51Here we go from the top rope now, Aldo Montoya.
34:55Right in the face.
34:56Wow, a sharp right hand squarely into the nose of Aldo Montoya.
35:02Is he doing it?
35:03And Mankind in full control at the moment.
35:06That spells trouble for Aldo Montoya.
35:08Montoya, he has him hooked upside down.
35:14What's this, man?
35:15Look at this.
35:16And from the other, no.
35:19Look at this.
35:20Mankind, obviously, look at this.
35:23Yanking his own hair out.
35:25This guy is demented.
35:27He's more than deranged.
35:30Aldo Montoya in trouble, as anyone would be.
35:34I think the official's even intimidated by this man, this Mankind, if you would.
35:39Aldo Montoya set him, no.
35:42Devastating pile driver.
35:47Listen to him.
35:49I don't know, McMahon.
35:50This is getting a little weird, even for me.
35:53Wait a minute, look at that.
35:55And jams his fingers down his throat.
35:58Aldo Montoya surrendering to the official.
36:03Come on, ref, how much of this do you have to say?
36:06Aldo Montoya surrendering to Mankind.
36:12Wow, what a creep.
36:14Look at the look of him.
36:15Mankind.
36:19Imagine having that, imagine a stench in it.
36:22The feel of those, you expect you want to gag.
36:24What's this music?
36:26It's like a music to soothe the beast.
36:31And unfortunately, Aldo Montoya suffering the consequences of this
36:36devastating submission hold.
36:38Call it what you will.
36:40Mankind obviously making an impression, a lasting one, I might add.
36:44It's even ugly in the dark.
36:45Here on all of us here on Raw.
36:50If you want to talk lasting impressions,
36:52we would segue, ladies and gentlemen, to the reminder of this Sunday night.
36:57Yes, good friends, better enemies on pay-per-view.
37:02Together, myself and Big Daddy Cool, we were unbelievable.
37:06We have new WWF Tag Team Champions.
37:09Apart, we are definitely better enemies.
37:13The honeymoon is over.
37:15He turns back on me like a rabid dog.
37:17I got nothing to do with him ever again.
37:19You know what, Shawn, this has been building for a long time.
37:22One, two, three.
37:26Good friends, better enemies.
37:28He's a tag team for Shawn Michaels.
37:32The reason I want that belt right now is cuz it'll ruin your life, Shawn Michaels.
37:37The WWF is Shawn Michaels' life.
37:39Michaels' boyhood dream of winning the title was fulfilled at WrestleMania XII.
37:43To Shawn Michaels, being a champion is everything.
37:46However, there was a time when image was everything, and
37:50that image made the boy toy a marked man.
37:52The World Wrestling Federation reeks of jealousy for the heartbreak kid.
38:00And to watch his back, Shawn hired the services of a seven foot,
38:04300 pound plus monster by the name of Diesel.
38:07The professional relationship sparked a friendship.
38:09In fact, Shawn and Diesel grew to become good friends, tag team partners, and
38:14eventually tag team champions.
38:16Yeah, they were two dudes with attitudes.
38:20On top of the world, however, success bred divisiveness, and
38:24both men decided to go their separate ways.
38:26Individually, they reached even greater heights.
38:30Shawn attained the Intercontinental Championship, Big Daddy cool.
38:33He did the impossible, the ultimate, the World Wrestling Federation Championship.
38:37How sweet it is, because Big Daddy has got that gold.
38:42Yeah, but a year of grueling action as champion took its toll on Diesel,
38:46both physically and mentally.
38:48When Diesel lost the title to Bret Hart at Survivor Series,
38:51that's when, to put it in Diesel's own words, we saw the real Diesel.
38:57Indeed, it was an ugly incident that mushroomed into a litany of vicious and
39:04dastardly attacks by the bitter former WWF champion.
39:07The most heinous of which came in Madison Square Garden.
39:11Paul Bearer, clothesline, and then watch.
39:14A cold-hearted spiteful attack, boom, right there in the back.
39:18His one-time best friend, Shawn Michaels,
39:20just two weeks prior to the biggest match in Shawn Michaels' career.
39:24You gotta give Michaels credit, McMahon.
39:30He kept his focus on the WWF title.
39:33At WrestleMania XII, Shawn Michaels' boyhood dream came true.
39:37He became the WWF champion at the expense of Bret the Hitman Hart.
39:41The long and arduous road to the title made the one-time heartbreak kid
39:46into a man and matured him into an admired and respected champion.
39:51Ironically, the very same road changed Big Daddy Cool Diesel into a sour,
39:57conniving disgruntled thug.
40:00A disgruntled thug, I might add, with a new agenda.
40:03Well, Shawn Michaels, nobody knows you quite like Big Daddy.
40:09You know what?
40:09I want a shot at you and I want it bad.
40:12I want to ruin your life.
40:14Two weeks ago on Raw, Diesel attacked Shawn again.
40:17It was beautiful, McMahon.
40:19Diesel disgracefully used a very WWF championship bout he's striving for
40:23as a weapon against Shawn Michaels.
40:25And in the confused state after the attack, Michaels agreed to a Diesel challenge to
40:30a no-hose barred provision for the title this Sunday night.
40:34I know I'm fighting an uphill battle.
40:36It's always an uphill battle for me.
40:38I'm tired of taking crap from you.
40:40I made you, and now I'm gonna break you down.
40:45Shawn Michaels once again finds himself a marked man.
40:48This time by the very monster he brought to the WWF to watch his back.
40:53They were good friends, McMahon, but they'll make better enemies in your house.
40:57No-hose barred this Sunday night on pay-per-view.
41:01And now, McMahon, get ready.
41:02I've told you about it all night long.
41:04Diesel's fixing to tell you what he's gonna do to Shawn Michaels Sunday night, but
41:07he's also got a word of warning for you, McMahon.
41:10Listen. What are you talking about?
41:11Big Daddy Cool kicking back in Deutschland.
41:14Get ready to go out in Berlin and
41:15teach another one of these idiots from World Wrestling Federation a lesson.
41:20Shawn Michaels, I'm gonna teach you a lesson.
41:23In your house, Omaha, the final chapter of your career.
41:28I'm not worried about that belt.
41:29I don't want that belt.
41:31That belt was on me for over a year.
41:33You know what?
41:34It was the worst year of my life.
41:36You know why?
41:37Because Vince McMahon and the rest of the corporate puppets tried to make
41:41Big Daddy Cool something he wasn't.
41:43Now that I'm what I am, how ironic.
41:46I don't win any slammies.
41:48I don't get any accolades.
41:50No, I'm the bad guy.
41:52But you know what, Shawn Michaels?
41:56The people know who the real leader of the new generation is.
41:59It's Big Daddy Cool.
42:01Has been.
42:02You know why?
42:03You're a dime a dozen, you sport.
42:05Me?
42:07Hey, they don't grow on trees like me, buddy.
42:09I'm a genetic wonder.
42:11There's only one Big Daddy Cool, and you're looking at him.
42:16And in your house, anything can happen.
42:19You know what, McMahon?
42:21Sitting at ringside, when I get done with Michaels, you need to watch yourself.
42:27I got a little score to settle with you.
42:29Anything can happen in your house, anything.
42:35What do you mean by that?
42:37Well, I can just tell you this, McMahon.
42:38Next Monday night here on Raw, I'll be here, and
42:41I'll be in the corner of Isaac Yankum going- And something's gonna happen to you.
42:44Yeah, well, you may not be here next Monday night after Sunday at In Your House.
42:48Bye-bye, McMahon.
