00:00The World Wrestling Federation, for over 50 years,
00:05the revolutionary force in sports entertainment.
00:09Last night, the WWF superstars turned out in force and
00:14sold out Madison Square Garden.
00:16Why, Sonny, she played kiss and tell.
00:20There's the kiss, and we're gonna tell you all about it tonight,
00:25right here on Monday Night Raw.

00:48Sonny and the Body Donnas has kissed the Tag Team Championship goodbye.
00:53Hello, everyone.
00:54Welcome to Monday Night Raw.
00:56Vince McMahon ringside along with Jerry The King.
00:58Oh, yes, Stone Cold Steve Austin in the squared circle as we speak.
01:02And tonight, he awaits the presence of the wild man, Mark Merrow.
01:06Yeah, here he comes, McMahon.
01:08But that's not all.
01:09Brother Shawn Michaels is gonna be out here a little bit later on to do some
01:12color commentary.
01:13You bet.
01:14When the British Bulldog faces Jake The Snake Roberts.
01:16And if you think it was hot in the Northeast today,
01:18you wait until you see me putting the heat on Shawn Michaels.
01:21I got a bombshell to drop, McMahon.
01:23Talk about a bombshell.
01:25Hello, Sable.
01:27Wild Man Mark Merrow and Sable, ladies and gentlemen,
01:30rocking the World Wrestling Federation.
01:32And yes, tonight on Raw.
01:33Wait, wait.
01:34Don't adjust your sets, folks.
01:35Her face is out of focus.
01:36We're gonna take you from the Middle East to Madison Square Garden.
01:40We got all kinds of happenings here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
01:45If anybody can tame the wild man, it's gotta be Sable.
01:48You wonder whether or not this coming Sunday night in your house,
01:52whether or not, ladies and gentlemen,
01:53Wild Man Mark Merrow will be tamed by Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
01:57What a matchup this Sunday.
01:59More on the pay-per-view extravaganza as we progress tonight on Raw.
02:04Is that her hair or is that a nest?
02:05I think I just saw something fly out of it.
02:07Talk about the hair or the eye cover.
02:09I guess that would take, of course, to Stone Cold Steve Austin.
02:12Yeah.
02:13And Stone Cold, look at him.
02:14He is heartless, isn't he?
02:15Yeah, he can tame the wild man.
02:17He might be able to.
02:18We're gonna find out whether Helmsley can.
02:20Obviously, a little history there with Helmsley and Sable
02:23as it led all the way back to WrestleMania.
02:26But right now, two consummate athletes in there.
02:29Wild Man Mark Merrow now locking up with Stone Cold Steve Austin.
02:33This match means so much to both individuals in terms of career progression.
02:37As it leads into this Sunday night,
02:38Wild Man Mark Merrow, of course, gets Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
02:40And Stone Cold Steve Austin, Jerry Lawler,
02:43in a Caribbean strap match against Savio Vega,
02:46whom we will see in action here tonight later on.
02:48You didn't hear about that, McMahon?
02:49That's been changed.
02:50Changed to what?
02:51It's a chauffeur match now.
02:53Well, call it what you will.
02:54More on that later on.
02:56Tight waist now.
02:57Let's see what happens here.
02:58Wild Man Mark Merrow.
02:59Nice reversal.
03:01And Stone Cold Steve Austin, watch out for that elbow.
03:04Riding a little high.
03:05Wild Man Mark Merrow reversed it.
03:07Look at this.
03:08Stone Cold Steve Austin going to work now.
03:10Very technically sound, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
03:13That's right.
03:14The wild man's making a mistake trying to just get down
03:16and grapple with Steve Austin.
03:18He needs to get wild if he's going to have a chance in this match.
03:20He knows how to do that.
03:21Likely to see a seesaw matchup.
03:23Highly competitive.
03:24Welcome, everyone.
03:25Yes, for those of you who just tuned in from Canada,
03:27the new VR, what action here tonight on Monday Night Raw?
03:30Wild Man Mark Merrow in there right now
03:32against Stone Cold Steve Austin.
03:34And the king looking forward, obviously, to Shawn Michaels
03:36joining us out here in the broadcast booth.
03:38Nice takedown.
03:39Have I ever, have I ever, wait.
03:41I can't wait for that, McMahon.
03:42I got a bombshell.
03:43I got a bombshell to drop.
03:45I'm going to hold it off until Shawn Michaels gets here.
03:47You won't believe your ears.
03:49The British Bulldog one-on-one with Jake the Snake Roberts
03:52here tonight on Raw.
03:54And Shawn Michaels joins us for commentary.
03:56Oh, elbow right there in the temple.
03:58Nice shot.
03:59A hard right hand.
04:00Stone Cold Steve Austin now coming off the rope.
04:03Nicely executed.
04:04Wild Man Mark Merrow front face lock.
04:06Nicely done.
04:07By the way, ladies and gentlemen,
04:08The Undertaker is waiting in the wings.
04:10Yes, he is here tonight.
04:11The Undertaker to join us for a very special interview.
04:14Yeah.
04:15Jim Ross is going to try to conduct that interview.
04:17You think he'll have any better luck than you did last week?
04:19Huh?
04:20Goldust is here, McMahon.
04:21He's in the building.
04:22I understand that.
04:23No telling what's likely to happen
04:25with all these explosive elements here tonight
04:27on Monday Night Raw.
04:29All right.
04:30Merrow set up now from the other side.
04:31Oh, look at this.
04:32He's coming right back.
04:33Close body.
04:34Yes.
04:35One.
04:36Threw it.
04:37And a kick out by Stone Cold.
04:38Up.
04:39Right back down.
04:40In control, Wild Man Mark Merrow.
04:41A lot of action kicking things off here tonight on Raw.
04:43Speaking of action, a big thank you to those of you
04:45who joined us this past weekend, ladies and gentlemen,
04:47in the Northeast Quadrant of the United States.
04:49In Baltimore, Philadelphia, Hershey,
04:51as well as Madison Square Garden.
04:53What competitive action you saw.
04:55And of course, there's nothing like a live World Wrestling
04:58Federation event.
04:59Oh, you're not kidding, McMahon.
05:00They saw cage matches.
05:02They saw the return of the Ultimate Warrior.
05:04And they saw the WWF Tag Team titles change hands.
05:07Oh!
05:08Elbow right in the butt of the jaw.
05:10I can turn the tide here.
05:11And we're waiting for someone to be dominant in this matchup.
05:13And I think we just found out who that's going to be.
05:15Stone Cold Steve Austin.
05:17Nope.
05:18On the right hand.
05:19Look at Wild Man Mark Merrow slugging it out with Stone Cold
05:21Steve Austin.
05:22Austin grabbing the headlock.
05:23Not for long.
05:24Off the rope.
05:25Oh!
05:26Nice tackle there by Stone Cold.
05:27Get him in.
05:28From over the near side and over the head.
05:30Yeah.
05:31Wild Man Mark Merrow waiting.
05:32And what great timing by Wild Man Mark Merrow.
05:34Look at that drop kick right into the butt of the jaw.
05:36And Stone Cold to the outside.
05:38But there will be no escape, ladies and gentlemen, on pay-per-view.
05:40No.
05:41In the Caribbean Strap Match when Savio Vega and Stone Cold Steve Austin
05:45are bound together with a 12-foot leather strap.
05:48No escape at all.
05:49Yeah.
05:50My bad.
05:51This is a match in which Savio Vega has never lost.
05:54Well, big deal, McMahon.
05:55Stone Cold Steve Austin has never lost a Caribbean Strap Match either.
05:58He's never been and won.
06:00Well, he's never lost either.
06:02Stone Cold Steve Austin having his problems as well as anyone would
06:05against the Wild Man Mark Merrow.
06:07Who's going to win this thing?
06:08Who's going to have that all-important momentum coming into this Sunday night
06:12on pay-per-view in your house?
06:14Beware of dark.
06:16Oh, there you go.
06:17There's a little example of who's going to win it right there.
06:19Still remains to be seen.
06:21Wild Man Mark Merrow definitely, however, in a little bit of trouble right now,
06:24is set up now in a whatnot reversal.
06:26To the buckle.
06:27Nicely done.
06:28Oh, no.
06:29No.
06:30Oh.
06:31That was beautiful, McMahon.
06:32Wild Man Mark Merrow in trouble.
06:34Wild Man Mark Merrow.
06:36Can we see that again?
06:37And Stone Cold Steve-
06:38Look at this.
06:39There you go.
06:40Watch.
06:41Oh!
06:42The face right into that turnbuckle.
06:44A couple more of those, and Wild Man Mark Merrow will be looking more like
06:46his competitor, Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
06:48What?
06:49With that protruding proboscis.
06:50Hey, wait a minute, McMahon.
06:51Women are crazy about Helmsley.
06:53Yeah, right.
06:54Look out.
06:55Here comes Stone Cold Steve Austin now.
06:56Oh, no.
06:57Oh, he drives his weight on the throat.
06:59Right across that second rubber cover.
07:01One.
07:02And only count of one.
07:04Nice kick out by Wild Man Mark Merrow.
07:07And Stone Cold Steve Austin having a go here tonight on Raw.
07:10We met you earlier.
07:11A bit later on in action.
07:12The British Bulldog's gonna join us one-on-one with Jake the Snake Roberts
07:16with Shawn Michaels out here joining us for commentary.
07:19Look at this.
07:20In the loop to the midsection, this thing's developing into a slugfest.
07:22Yeah, that Mark Merrow's cheating like a dog.
07:24Ah, please.
07:25It's in your house.
07:26Beware of Dog.
07:27And look at this.
07:28Right to the-
07:29I'll tell you.
07:30Look.
07:31Yeah, Wild Man Mark-
07:32Oh, no.
07:33Look at that.
07:34What a clever maneuver on the part of Stone Cold Steve Austin.
07:35He's got Merrow's head on the floor.
07:36He's in trouble.
07:39Merrow now lifted up.
07:40He has a suplex.
07:41No.
07:42Look out.
07:43Here we go in a roll-up.
07:44One.
07:45Good.
07:46Almost.
07:47So close.
07:48Oh, what a clothesline by Stone Cold Steve Austin on Wild Man Mark Merrow.
07:52Welcome back, everyone.
07:53And what action we have tonight on Raw.
07:56Both of these individuals, Mark Merrow as well as Stone Cold,
07:59headed to In Your House, Florence, South Carolina, live, ladies and gentlemen,
08:03this Memorial Day weekend.
08:04If you're making travel plans anywhere, make sure where it is you're gonna go.
08:08He has pay-per-view capabilities.
08:10And caught ahead.
08:11Oh, and this one could be over.
08:14The forearm counter-throws to the wall.
08:16And a kick out.
08:17He got out.
08:18Wow.
08:19I'm impressed with the resilience of Wild Man Mark Merrow.
08:21You mentioned Florence, South Carolina, this coming Sunday night,
08:24In Your House.
08:25I'm gonna be there, McMahon.
08:26And I wanna warn all you peons in Florence,
08:28you better show me the proper respect.
08:29Bow down to the king when I arrive.
08:31Well, if they don't show respect,
08:33this Sunday in Florence, no question,
08:36that everyone in the greater Fayetteville, North Carolina area
08:39is gonna show respect, all right, for you.
08:41Or maybe for someone else.
08:43Live, next week, when Monday Night Raw
08:45emanates from Fayetteville, North Carolina.
08:47And by the way, continuing live,
08:49WWF action in the southeastern quadrant of the United States,
08:52in North Charleston, South Carolina,
08:55one week from tomorrow night.
08:57Live WWF action in North Charleston, one week from tomorrow.
09:02And now, Woodstanding, Savannah, Georgia,
09:04one week from this Wednesday night.
09:06And then, in the great state of Florida,
09:08is Wild Man Mark Merrow back up on his feet,
09:10trying to drive now, drive the avoided escape
09:12from the other side.
09:13Oh, look at that.
09:14There you go.
09:15Uh-oh.
09:16Mark Merrow now, set up for the ride.
09:17Nice reversal.
09:18Coming off the ropes.
09:19Yeah, sleeper.
09:20Good night.
09:21Goodness, no.
09:22What a maneuver by Stone Cold Steve Austin.
09:25I told you he'd tame the Wild Man.
09:27Still remains to be seen words of wisdom and encouragement
09:29from Sable on the outside of the ring.
09:30Wait a minute, cover.
09:31Two and-
09:32Oh, wow.
09:33Ted DiBiase almost had his victory.
09:35You wonder, will Ted DiBiase be a factor in this matchup,
09:38or will he be a factor in the Caribbean Strap Match,
09:40or will Savio be wearing a chauffeur's hat
09:43while not later on?
09:44And look at this, another cover.
09:46We have one, two and-
09:47Oh, again, a very close near fall
09:50on the part of Stone Cold Steve Austin.
09:52I know Savio's in the back.
09:53I know Savio's watching this match right now.
09:55Listen, Savio, here's something you can relate to.
09:57This Sunday night at In Your House,
09:59that man right there, Stone Cold Steve Austin,
10:01is gonna beat you like you were a piñata.
10:04A piñata?
10:05Yeah, it's gonna be great.
10:07Wild Man Marc Merrill
10:09listing his capacity crowd.
10:11Wild Man Marc Merrill, unquestionably a crowd favorite.
10:14Wild Man back to his feet,
10:16driving the elbows in,
10:17but before the matchup,
10:18and an escape now.
10:19Oh, hard right-
10:20And look at this strike fast.
10:21Wild Man Marc Merrill
10:22doing extremely well in exchanging a strike fast here.
10:25Marc Merrill now coming up to wrap it up.
10:28Down goes Stone Cold.
10:29Come on, Austin.
10:30Wild Man over Stone Cold.
10:31From the other side in.
10:33Wow, flying head scissor.
10:35What a maneuver by Wild Man Marc Merrill.
10:38Here we go.
10:39Wow, a knee lift.
10:40Merrill is pouring it on.
10:42And you can bet Hunter Hearst Townsley
10:43is watching on as well,
10:45wondering whether or not he's gonna be the recipient
10:47of some of this action this Sunday night.
10:48Look out.
10:49Yeah.
10:50Covering.
10:51Here we go, this one's over.
10:53One, two, three.
10:55Hey, what kind of two?
10:56What a kick out there by Stone Cold Steve Austin.
10:58He's in trouble.
10:59Here comes Wild Man Marc Merrill.
11:01Ready to cover up.
11:02Wild Man now hammering away.
11:05Oh, the cranium of Stone Cold.
11:07And Stone Cold gets the shove.
11:09Almost a dismount.
11:10Oh, look out.
11:11What a clothesline.
11:12Yeah.
11:13One, two.
11:14And he's-
11:15Oh, so close.
11:16Come on, D.B.
11:17Austin.
11:18You're gonna have to do something here.
11:19And Stone Cold, who has to do something,
11:20is coming off the rope now.
11:22Hey, wait a minute.
11:23D.B. Austin is-
11:25Look out.
11:27Oh, no.
11:28Merrill tripped.
11:29He tripped, yeah.
11:30Thanks to Ted DiBiase.
11:31And look at this.
11:32Stone Cold is capitalizing.
11:34He's just all over Wild Man Marc Merrill.
11:36Now scoops him up and a big slam.
11:38Got him.
11:39Stone Cold Steve Austin to the outside.
11:40High risk, but no doubt coming up here.
11:42I don't think this is a good idea.
11:44Oh, wait a minute.
11:45Here comes Savio Vega charging.
11:47Here comes Savio Vega.
11:48What's he doing?
11:49Savio Vega ripping Stone Cold Steve Austin
11:51with a caribbean slam.
11:53Savio Vega.
11:54What?
11:55Oh, my goodness.
11:56He's caused a disqualification.
11:58Yeah, right.
11:59We saw what the idiot's doing, McMahon.
12:00Savio Vega interfering in this match.
12:02Ladies and gentlemen, it's gonna be Vega
12:03against Stone Cold Steve Austin
12:05in the Caribbean Strap Match
12:06as a result of a disqualification
12:07to Stone Cold Steve Austin.
12:10Savio Vega a little over anxious here tonight on Raw.
12:13And I bet Wild Man Marc Merrill's not too happy
12:15about this decision.
12:17And you can bet that man not too happy
12:18about that Caribbean Strap Match.
12:20Hey, look at this.
12:21Hey, wait a minute.
12:23Yeah, you better explain yourself.
12:25Well, I think he was just a little too anxious here.
12:28And this is gonna take a great deal of explaining
12:30on the part of Savio Vega
12:32as right now we take you to the Middle East.
12:35Now, in the Gulf War, the people of Kuwait
12:38were devastated by the invasion of their homeland,
12:41rapid slaughter of their people,
12:43loss of their freedom at the hands of Iraqi aggressors.
12:47Scars of war unquestionably will always remain,
12:51but the strength in the heart and the mind
12:53cannot be denied.
12:55Despite the echoes of war,
12:56the people of Kuwait continue to rebuild.
12:59And supported by U.S. troops in the United Nations,
13:01their strength in the face of adversity
13:03served as an inspiration to one
13:05WWF superstar in particular.
13:07Ahmed Johnson!
13:09Yeah.
13:10Ahmed Johnson,
13:12lifted by the spirit of the Kuwaiti people.
13:14And with that spirit
13:16and their overwhelming support,
13:18Ahmed propelled himself
13:20through a 16-man single elimination tournament
13:23to emerge as the winner
13:24of the first Kuwaiti Invitational International Tournament.
13:28Congratulations to Ahmed Johnson
13:31and Let Freedom Ring.
13:35Yeah, big man, but Ahmed's next challenge
13:37is gonna be right here next week
13:39on Monday Night Raw
13:41in the very first King of the Ring tournament match
13:43against a man they call Vader.
13:46Can you believe that?
13:47Live right here on Raw next week,
13:49Ahmed versus Vader.
13:50Plus, ladies and gentlemen,
13:51that ain't all, as they say.
13:52Also, first round tournament action.
13:54We'll see gold dust against
13:57the Ultimate Warrior.
13:59And speaking of the Ultimate Warrior,
14:01ladies and gentlemen,

14:22and the power of self-belief
14:24through the Warrior's own belief system
14:26known as Destrucity.
14:29I mean, look at this artwork.
14:31This is likely to revolutionize
14:32the comic book industry,
14:34much like the Ultimate Warrior
14:35has revolutionized the World Wrestling Federation.
14:38It's a pretty good book, big man,
14:39but he should have had me do the artwork.
14:41I'm the world's greatest artist.
14:43Monday Night Raw is brought to you by Snickers,
14:46now with even more peanuts.
14:48Tons of them.

15:02Ted DiBiase.
15:04And here comes the 1, 2, 3 Kid,
15:06and don't be surprised

15:09You surprised us before,
15:10and by the way, ladies and gentlemen,
15:12in addition to this matchup,
15:13we are still anxiously awaiting
15:15the presence of the British Bulldog
15:16to go one-on-one with Jake The Snake Robert.
15:19Shawn Michaels will join us with commentary.
15:21We have an interview with The Undertaker,
15:23all kind of action coming up.
15:24Yeah, I got a surprise for you,
15:25but it's not the bombshell.
15:27Wait till you hear the bombshell,
15:28McMahon, even you won't believe this.
15:32Welcome back, everyone.
15:33Surprise, surprise.
15:34The 1, 2, 3 Kid along with Savio Vega.
15:36Get comfortable, Ted.
15:37Ready to get it on here
15:38on Monday Night Raw.
15:39And haven't we seen enough of Ted DiBiase
15:42for one night?
15:43And look at this.
15:46Chauffeur's hat in hand.
15:48Exactly, McMahon.
15:50It's not my hat.
15:51It's his hat.
15:52We are sick and tired of Savio Vega
15:54sticking his nose in our business
15:56where it doesn't belong.
15:57But if we beat him at WrestleMania,
15:59then he's accusing us,
16:00accusing us of costing him
16:02the Intercontinental title.
16:03He's whining and tooting.
16:07He wants a Caribbean strap match?
16:10Not a chance.
16:11Well, you can call it what you want to.
16:13We're gonna call it a chauffeur's match
16:15because that's what he's gonna be
16:17when this match is over and in your house.
16:19All right, let's reset for you
16:21how this matchup came about.
16:23Savio Vega challenged
16:24one stone cold Steve Austin
16:26to a Caribbean strap match.
16:27Reluctant as you were, Ted DiBiase,
16:29to accept, finally you did,
16:30but only with provision
16:31that if Savio Vega loses the matchup,
16:33he's gonna be your chauffeur
16:34and wear that stinking cap.
16:36That'll be great, McMahon.
16:37Oh, hey, kid, what's happening here?
16:39What's wrong with the kid?
16:40I'm sure you don't like
16:41what you're seeing right now, do you?
16:42No, I don't like it at all.
16:43But, hey, the kid,
16:44the kid takes a little while.
16:45Sometimes he's not cranked,
16:46but he's got a lot of endurance.
16:48Yes, indeed he does.
16:50However-
16:51Just keep watching, McMahon.
16:52It's not over till it's over.
16:53Ah!
16:54Steady maneuver.
16:55And if that happens,
16:56the stone cold Steve Austin,
16:58Savio Vega,
17:00will destroy him this Sunday night.
17:02That's not gonna happen, McMahon.
17:03You're talking about
17:04the best technical wrestler
17:05in the World Wrestling Federation today.
17:07Stone cold.
17:08All right, let's assume that's accurate.
17:09I don't know that it is.
17:10Let's assume it's accurate.
17:11In the Caribbean Strap Matchup,
17:13matchup with Savio Vega.
17:14He's never lost.
17:15I mean, that's a horseman
17:16to recover.
17:17Recovers him!
17:18Any kind of match.
17:19You put Steve Austin,
17:21stone cold Steve Austin,
17:22in any kind of match,
17:23and he's gonna come out
17:24a million dollar champion.
17:26All right, King,
17:27what do you think about it?
17:28Well, I'll tell you, McMahon,
17:29I think there's a movie
17:30that's opening up this Wednesday night.
17:31Starring Tom Cruise
17:32that perfectly describes
17:33Savio Vega's chances
17:34in this Caribbean Strap Match.
17:35And that would be?
17:36It's called Mission Impossible.
17:38I'll tell you,
17:39stone cold Steve Austin
17:40is gonna dominate Savio Vega,
17:42just like the Chicago Bulls did
17:43the Orlando Magic yesterday.
17:45Did you see that?
17:46That was total domination, McMahon.
17:48Right now, the kid is being dominated
17:49by Savio Vega,
17:50and you have to wonder,
17:51why were you, Ted DiBiase,
17:53reluctant to sign for this match
17:54of this Caribbean Strap Match
17:56to begin with?
17:57We beat him.
17:58We beat him.
17:59We had nothing to prove.
18:00But he keeps nagging at us
18:01and nagging at us.
18:02At WrestleMania,
18:03you eked out a victory.
18:04Notwithstanding that,
18:05you refused a return match.
18:07He challenged you to a return match.
18:08You refused it,
18:09and he pulled the world over your eyes
18:10as the Caribbean Kid.
18:12Let me tell you something, McMahon.
18:14We saw right here on Raw.
18:15Come on.
18:16I'm taking stone cold Steve Austin
18:18straight to the top.
18:19He's a million-dollar champion.
18:20He's gonna be
18:21the World Wrestling Federation champion.
18:22You can mark my word.
18:23You beat an opponent,
18:24you go on.
18:25You don't look back.
18:26You look forward.
18:27And that's exactly
18:28where Savio Vega is looking.
18:30Come on, Kid.
18:31And the one, two, three kick.
18:33Leaning from the mouth,
18:34indeed, Savio Vega
18:35has busted him open.
18:36Come on, Kid.
18:37I won't be at all surprised
18:38if the same is not gonna be true.
18:39Hey.
18:40Hey.
18:41Chauffeur Boy.
18:42Hey, Chauffeur Boy,
18:43I got something for you here.
18:45This is yours.
18:46That's right.
18:47Come on, Chauffeur Boy.
18:48And-
18:49Oh, no.
18:50Come try the hat on.
18:51All right, come on.
18:52Sit down.
18:53Let's get your name on it.
18:54Sit down.
18:55Let's get your name all over it.
18:56Oh, yeah.
18:57It's for you.
18:58It's for you.
19:00You see what I mean, McMahon?
19:01Yeah.
19:02If he had a brain,
19:03he'd be dangerous.
19:04See how smart to make a dollar, man?
19:05Hey, I'm actually doing him
19:06a favor, McMahon,
19:07because once he becomes
19:08my chauffeur,
19:09well, it's gonna be
19:10a little work, right?
19:11Right, King?
19:12I mean, first we gotta
19:13get him a green card.
19:14Gotta get him a green card.
19:15All right, come on.
19:16Let's not go there.
19:17You know, you know-
19:18Savio Vega.
19:19Be sure to pay his taxes.
19:20Oh!
19:21Having great difficulty
19:22with the one, two, three kick.
19:24About to clean him up
19:25a little bit.
19:26He's not used to life
19:27before.
19:28Oh!
19:29You know, McMahon would look
19:30pretty good in a chauffeur
19:31tattoo.
19:32All right, all right.
19:33Not a bad idea.
19:34Everybody's got a price
19:35to pay.
19:36There's nothing wrong
19:37with being a chauffeur,
19:38I can tell you that.
19:39However, there's a great deal
19:40wrong with being your chauffeur.
19:41Hey, after you make him
19:42your chauffeur,
19:43then you can make him
19:44your cook.
19:45Come on, King, here it is.
19:46Hey, it's all over.
19:47We're gonna top him up
19:48right here.
19:49One, two, three, King,
19:50and-
19:51Oh, yeah, that's it.
19:52See ya.
19:53One, two-
19:54No.
19:55Oh, that was close.
19:56Oh, he got lucky.
19:57After you make him
19:58your chauffeur,
19:59you can make him
20:00your cook,
20:01and he can cook you
20:02some of that
20:03Puerto Rican chicken soup.
20:04What's Puerto Rican
20:05chicken soup?
20:06Well, you know how
20:07you make it?
20:08You start by stealing
20:09two chickens.
20:10Both of you gentlemen
20:11would know a great deal
20:12about chicken,
20:13if you know what I mean.
20:14Look at this now.
20:15Oh, my goodness.
20:16Back down,
20:17right up underneath
20:18the chin.
20:19He can't get
20:20an opportunity now,
20:21and yes,
20:22another cover.
20:23One, two-
20:24Another kick out.
20:25How determined
20:26the one, two, three
20:27kid can definitely
20:28pull off an upset
20:29here tonight.
20:30He's done it before
20:31on Raw.
20:32Welcome back,
20:33everyone, to more
20:34Monday Night Raw.
20:35Vince McMahon,
20:36Ted DiBiase out here
20:37along with Jerry
20:38the King Lawler,
20:39and the one, two,
20:40three kid right now
20:41trying to maintain
20:42his momentum
20:43against Savio Vega.
20:44He's got him going
20:45right now.
20:46With an elbow.
20:47Look at this.
20:48Yes, the one, two,
20:49three kid
20:50trying to work
20:51on the chin area.
20:52Savio Vega
20:53right back up
20:54on his feet now.
20:55Oh, here comes a headbutt.
20:56Savio Vega
20:57back in control now.
20:58Ted DiBiase
20:59doesn't like what he's doing.
21:00Kick out.
21:01Missing with the elbow.
21:02One, two, three kid now.
21:03What's this?
21:04Off the rope and
21:05down.
21:06He does that better
21:07than anybody else
21:08in the World Wrestling
21:09Federation.
21:10One, two, three kid
21:11with a cover.
21:12One, two, and
21:13up.
21:14And a kick out.
21:15I can't believe this guy.
21:16You better start believing it.
21:17Just imagine Sunday night
21:18when Stone Cold
21:19Steve Austin
21:20takes the Caribbean
21:21Kid's strap there
21:22and just wraps it
21:23right around
21:24his neck.
21:25It's illegal.
21:26You know that,
21:27don't you, big man?
21:28He'll squeeze the life
21:29out of Savio.
21:30That'll be so great.
21:31All he is right now
21:32is a crybaby.
21:33I don't think we'd ever
21:34make a man out of him,
21:35but we're gonna make
21:36a boy out of him.
21:37A chauffeur boy.
21:38You know,
21:39if Savio Vega
21:40does lose this match,
21:41if he does become
21:42your chauffeur,
21:43I wouldn't want to be
21:44in your limousine.
21:45I wouldn't either.
21:46You know why?
21:47You ever seen
21:48a Puerto Rican drive?
21:49All right, stop it.
21:50Get up out of here.
21:51With a hard forearm.
21:52All they have to do
21:54One, two, three, kid.
21:55Hey, after we dress him up
21:56and clean him up
21:57and flash a little green
21:58in front of his face,
21:59he'll come around.
22:00The kid now.
22:01That's it, kid.
22:02And he's off to injury.
22:03Being cheered on
22:04by Ted DiBiase.
22:05And me.
22:06All right.
22:07And out of the ring,
22:08Stone Joe the Program.
22:09The winner.
22:18Oh, wow.
22:19That was close.
22:20And Savio Vega
22:21Yeah.
22:22Savio Vega can turn
22:23a match around,
22:24ladies and gentlemen,
22:25so quickly.
22:26What?
22:27Camerity.
22:28Coming off.
22:29Oh, again.
22:30Oh, the kid.
22:31He's choking him.
22:32Oh, come on.
22:33Do it.
22:34Got him.
22:35No, he didn't.
22:36Now, you see,
22:37Vega's not the only one
22:38with a little tenacity.
22:39Come on, kid.
22:40One, two, three, kid.
22:41From the other side.
22:42Body drop.
22:43Oh.
22:44Oh, come on, kid.
22:45Come on, kid.
22:46And Vega
22:47sets up the kid.
22:48Gonna do it again.
22:49With momentum now,
22:50and uh-oh.
22:51That's it.
22:52That's it.
22:53There you go.
22:54Come on.
22:55Put him away, kid.
22:56Put him away.
23:06Oh, one, two, three, kid.
23:07No.
23:08No.
23:09No.
23:10Come on, kid.
23:11Do it.
23:12Come on, get up.
23:13Get up.
23:14Look behind you.
23:15Savio Vega
23:16setting up the one,
23:17two, three, kid.
23:18No.
23:19No.
23:20He got him.
23:21No.
23:22No.
23:23He returned.
23:24Watch out.
23:25Watch out.
23:26I'm out of here, McMahon.
23:27Look at this.
23:28Look at Stone Cold Steve Austin
23:29stomping the All Newer Savio Vega
23:30trying to soften him up.
23:31Look at this, Sunday night.
23:32Vega now coming up in the moment.
23:33Oh, look out.
23:34Wait a minute.
23:35Wait a minute.
23:36Vega firing back.
23:37Again, Stone Cold going at it.
23:38Get it, kid, get it.
23:39Oh, no.
23:40Get back.
23:41Get back.
23:42Oh, no.
23:43No.
23:44No.
23:45No.
23:46No.
23:47the back of the head, taking the Aussie.
23:49But again, look at this, and also Stone Cold drives the knee.
23:53Come on.
23:54Who's in the- What the boot's doing?
23:58In that Caribbean Strap Match, it's not gonna be- Put the hat on him.
24:01No, there it is.
24:02Yeah.
24:02No.
24:04Stone Cold Steve Austin.
24:05Put the hat on him.
24:06With Vegas, Caribbean Strap, no.
24:09What are they trying to do?
24:11They're tying him up.
24:13He's gonna make a nice little package for him.
24:15Look at this, Stone Cold Steve Austin trying to tie up Samuel Vega.
24:20That's a double team effort.
24:21And Vega now helpless.
24:23Don't hurt his arms, he's gotta drive with him after Sunday.
24:26Look at this.
24:27Look at this humiliation.
24:29Hey, that looked pretty good.
24:30You heard him driving Miss Daisy.
24:34He's gonna be driving Mr. DeBiase.
24:37Look at this humiliation.
24:39But, but, wait a minute, Ted DeBiase.
24:41Come on, ref, get him out of there.
24:45Savio Vega's gonna have his say in the squared circle.
24:49He's having none now.
24:51But I can assure you in the Caribbean Strap Match against Stone Cold Steve Austin,
24:56things likely to be considerably different.
24:59Home, Savio.
25:00There's nothing like a live World Wrestling Federation event.
25:06Madison Square Garden last night.
25:08No exception to these.
25:09We said before, the superstars turned out in droves.
25:13A pre-match interview was to be held with the Godwin family.
25:17Prior to the Tag Team Championship matchup, their opportunity, and then.
25:20This is an arms race.
25:22Their whole locker room was locked.
25:24Where in the world is he at?
25:25Hey, boy, open this door.
25:26You know what time it is?
25:28Looking for Phineas, obviously.
25:29He'll bully Jimmy.
25:31Y'all give us a good match now, you hear?
25:41What? What are you doing?
25:42I told you to stay away from her, boy.
25:43We've been looking for you.
25:44Get back here.
25:45Don't you dare.
25:46I can continue what you're doing.
25:48A little dissension among the ranks, ladies and gentlemen.
25:51Prior to the matchup involving Sonny.
25:53What was Sonny doing in the locker room with Phineas?
25:57Obviously, Phineas has been touched, as they say.
26:01A bit smitten with the presence of Sonny.
26:04And there she is blowing him a kiss prior to the matchup actually beginning.
26:08And my goodness, what action in the matchup.
26:11The party donnas having great difficulty, my goodness, yes.
26:15With both Godwins and then from there, look what happens here.
26:20Phineas had one of those fits, as he calls them.
26:23Phineas, he was looking for anybody.
26:25He didn't care, new kick, it didn't matter.
26:28Phineas had lost it.
26:29And Henry trying to calm down.
26:31Finally, Henry had to tackle his own partner.
26:34And then Sonny played her magic.
26:37Or should I say, played Phineas for a fool.
26:41Double team action.
26:43It looked bad for Phineas.
26:45It looked like Phineas, once again, was gonna fall prey to Sonny's pranks,
26:49as he continued to taunt him all the way through the matchup.
26:54From there, the slop drop, and look what she does.
26:58He completely loses his focus.
27:01But did he?
27:03What a smackaroo.
27:05Sonny's knees turned weak, if not her stomach, and then it happened.
27:09Yes, the slop drop, the cover, the count.
27:16And new WWF Tag Team Champions were born in Madison Square Garden.
27:25Sonny had kissed the Tag Team Championship goodbye.
27:33And the celebration was on.
27:36Yes, indeed.
27:37Anything can happen here in the World Wrestling Federation.
27:40And it certainly did last night in Madison Square Garden,
27:42which now means that on the preview channel, yes,
27:45during the free for all, prior to In Your House, beware of dog.
27:50You're gonna see a tag team title match, all right?
27:52But now, it's the God Ones defending the titles against the Smoking Guns
27:57live on the preview channel, 6.30 Eastern time this Sunday.
28:02All right, let's take you over now to Jim Ross.
28:05This Sunday on pay-per-view, the Intercontinental Championship's gonna be
28:08decided with casket match rules, when your Undertaker meets Goldust.
28:16After everything that's gone on,
28:18is your Undertaker ready for this Sunday on pay-per-view?
28:23Yes, Mr. Ross, there's a very fine line.
28:31And Goldust has crossed that line.
28:34It's time for him to face the Grim Reaper.
28:39And to answer your question, yes, he's ready.
28:45I was hoping that we would be able to talk with the Undertaker this week.
28:50Is that gonna be possible?
28:50Where's Goldust?
28:52He's here.
28:52Would you like to talk to him right now?
28:54I'd just like to see him.
28:55I certainly would.
28:56You're not telling me he's in the casket.
28:58Where do you think he is?
29:01My goodness.
29:03The Undertaker.
29:05He's the only one who might be at home in that casket.
29:08Well, that could be the home of Goldust.
29:11This is your future.
29:16I am gonna take it upon myself to seal your fate.
29:23And I'm gonna seal it in this casket.
29:27You will be-
29:27Look at that.
29:30Wait a minute.
29:31That's Mankind.
29:32Mankind is out here.
29:34And Goldust is out here as well.
29:35Yeah, you wanted to see Goldust, McMahon.
29:37Well, there he is.
29:37Wait a minute, wait a minute.
29:39Mankind trying to seal him and take him up in that casket.
29:44Mankind trying to rope off the lid of that airtight casket.
29:49And Goldust, look what he's doing.
29:50Look at Paul Bearer.
29:52Undertaker trying to come out of there.
29:56And Paul Bearer being tempted by Goldust.
29:59Give me back, give me back.
30:00Kiss him.
30:01What?
30:02I will give you back.
30:03Look at this.
30:04And look at this, Mankind now has dropped off the casket.
30:08What is he gonna do?
30:10The Undertaker can't get out.
30:12What do you think The Undertaker's thinking now, McMahon?
30:14He has no idea what's going on.
30:16He has to get out of that.
30:17Finally, here comes Jim Ross.
30:18Keep your hands off that, Ross.
30:19Hey, look out.
30:20Hey, look out.
30:21Watch out.
30:22Watch out.
30:23Whoa.
30:23Hey, wait.
30:24Oh, no.
30:26This deranged idiot.
30:28Look what he's doing to that casket.
30:31He's beating that casket with a steel pole.
30:34Look at this.
30:35So much for rest and at peace, McMahon.
30:37Can you imagine how loud that is in there?
30:39Now, wait a minute.
30:40Aah!
30:42Mankind has just dumped the casket on a concrete floor.
30:46Somebody stop this deranged lunatic.
30:50Mankind striking that casket with that steel pole.
30:55Get him out of here.
30:56Just think what that sounds like inside him to The Undertaker.
30:59You don't get him out of there, McMahon.
31:01Watch out, watch out.
31:03The Undertaker inside that airtight casket.
31:06And somebody needs to get him out of there.
31:08No one's gonna approach that casket.
31:09This deranged creature is out there, Mankind, finally.
31:14Mankind is leaving the area.
31:16Somebody needs to get The Undertaker out of there.
31:18I mean, get him out of there quickly.
31:19Why? You might as well leave him in there.
31:21He might as well get used to it, because that's where he's gonna be Sunday night.
31:24They're trying to upright that casket right in front of Goldust.
31:26Look at this, Goldust and Marlena looking on.
31:29They're trying to upright the casket, trying to get The Undertaker out of there.
31:31The Undertaker signed for a casket match this Sunday against Goldust.
31:37He didn't sign for this.
31:38This is not what he had in mind.
31:40Get him out of there.
31:41Open that lid.
31:43We're back and you're looking at a replay of what happened earlier on.
31:46Mankind and deranged individuals striking that casket repeatedly while
31:49The Undertaker was on the inside during the break circuit.
31:52Well, you should have seen The Undertaker pull that lid off that casket and
31:56is searching for Mankind.
31:57I wanna explain something to everybody.
32:01They said that Shawn Michaels was supposed to be out here
32:05to do color commentary on this particular match.
32:10But that ain't gonna happen, because you see my man right here,
32:14my attorney, Clarence Mason, has, shut up.
32:19Yeah, tell him.
32:19Right here, he has, if you will notice, get a good shot.
32:27A restraining order preventing that no good deviant Shawn Michaels
32:34from being within 100 yards of Diana Smith between now and this Sunday.
32:41All right, McMahon, what do you think of that?
32:43So Shawn ain't gonna be out here.
32:45He ain't gonna be doing no commentary.
32:48He's not gonna be able to look at Diana Smith with lust in his eyes.
32:53He's not gonna be able to undress her with his gaze.
32:57What is he doing here?
32:58Because we have a restraining order that prevents him from being
33:02anywhere near Mrs. Diana Smith, for heaven's sake.
33:08The WWF president, Gorilla Monsoon.
33:10Just what do we not do without you?
33:11Right, you know what they say, monsoon happens.
33:15It's legal, and it's binding, and there ain't nothing you can do about it.
33:19Right.
33:20It was done by a court of law, not George of the Jungle, Mr. Baboon.
33:24Apparently, this is quite a surprise.
33:31And Gorilla Monsoon having some consultation with Howard.
33:35We promised you Shawn Michaels.
33:36I guess we're not gonna be able to bring you Shawn Michaels.
33:39You know what? I wish he would come out here.
33:40Then he'd go to jail.
33:41I'll stop it.
33:46Unless.
33:46Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please?
33:50World Wrestling Federation President Gorilla Monsoon has confirmed
33:54that this indeed is a valid restraining order.
33:57Yes.
33:58And he will comply with the restraining order in the following manner.
34:05Mr. Monsoon has ordered that
34:09Diana Smith leave the ringside area immediately.
34:16What?
34:17Wait a minute.
34:19Jim Corbin and
34:20Clarence Mason have outsmarted themselves.
34:23No.
34:26Sue him, baby, sue him.
34:27Gorilla Monsoon is gonna escort Diana Smith out of this ring and
34:33out of this arena the next time we see her is this Sunday.
34:39Wait a minute, here he comes.
34:47The leader of the UWF generation on his way to the square and circle, yeah.
34:51Shawn Michaels, he's gonna have to pass right by Diana Smith.
34:55Diana Smith being escorted by Gorilla Monsoon, and look, here he comes.
35:01Michaels, yeah.
35:04Well, not plus about this whole thing.
35:06Shawn Michaels on his way, yes.
35:08And how about that restraining order backfired right in the kisser of
35:13Jim Cornette and the British Bulldog and Clarence Mason.
35:17Shawn Michaels on his way.
35:24There he is, the World Wrestling Federation Champion.
35:29And the British Bulldog is beside himself.
35:35And you wonder, just what's gonna happen here?
35:38All the explosive elements right here this week on Raw.
35:43I'm just a sexy boy.
35:47Have a seat.
35:48I'll tell you this, McMahon, the British Bulldog promised us that if Shawn Michaels
35:52came to ringside, he was gonna tear his head off.
35:55And Shawn Michaels is here, and the British Bulldog is-
35:57Shut up, Kingfish.
35:59And here comes Jake The Snake Roberts.
36:04Long time no see, McMahon, again, how the heck are you?
36:08All right, come on, Mr. Popular, or what?
36:12And no doubt about that.
36:13Or maybe not.
36:14Except not with the Smith family, that's for sure.
36:18Well, you can't win them all.
36:20Is this stuff ludicrous or what?
36:21Believe me, everybody knows I dig women and all, but
36:25I would never, ever have anything to do with a married woman.
36:29Well, of course, there's an alienation of affection, so to speak, lawsuit.
36:33There's a, who was that unidentified woman who claimed to be a former
36:38wrestler's wife and maybe ruined their marriage.
36:42Yeah, what about all that?
36:43Well, that's true.
36:44I mean, the honesty of this business, by all means, it's bound to be true.
36:49Yeah, if you've heard a rumor about Shawn Michaels, it's gotta be true.
36:52Yeah, of course it does, yeah, of course.
36:55Hey, where's your bombshell, King?
36:58We welcome you back to more WWF Raw.
37:00Vince McMahon here at ringside along with Jerry The King Lawler.
37:02And yes, the World Wrestling Federation Champion,
37:05Shawn Michaels, right out here with us with a bird's eye view.
37:07Jake The Snake takes the bulldog right over.
37:09Look at the bulldog backs off of the bag full of a snake.
37:13Shawn Michaels, this is an opportunity, obviously, for you to take a first hand
37:16bird's eye view of the British Bulldog in action, but
37:19also your opportunity to answer some of these allegations.
37:23I've said it before, and I'm gonna say it again, and
37:26this is gonna be the last time I'm gonna address this subject.
37:30I did not do this.
37:31These are all lies, complete and total fabrications.
37:35I am out here for one reason, one reason only, and
37:37that's to watch my opponent for this Sunday.
37:40The British Bulldog, yes, the man who could very well be the next World Wrestling
37:43Federation Champion.
37:44And wait a minute, what's that look on your face, Jerry Lawler?
37:47What do you mean, what's that look on my face?
37:48What's the look on your face, McMahon?
37:50Are you that gullible?
37:51Are you gonna sit here and just because Shawn Michaels categorically denies
37:55the accusations, you're gonna believe him?
37:57I'm gonna tell you something, Michaels, I don't believe you for one minute.
38:00I saw the way you looked at Diana when you passed her in the aisle a minute ago.
38:03You can't help yourself, can you?
38:06Why do I get the feeling, Vince, that I am gonna have to address this time and
38:09time again, at least until this match is over, at least until this Sunday.
38:13This Sunday at In Your House, I'm gonna take care of it once and for all.
38:17That's the best that I can do, King.
38:19And if that doesn't convince you, I just don't know anymore.
38:22I wanna tell you, McMahon, it's really getting deep in here.
38:25No, it doesn't convince me.
38:26You can swear on a stack of Bibles and I wouldn't believe you, Shawn Michaels.
38:29You're a womanizer.
38:30Guilt is written all over your face.
38:31All right, come on, stop it.
38:32The British Bulldog with Jake The Snake Roberts in the corner.
38:35Don't look for a clean break.
38:36And Shawn Michaels certainly will not be looking for one this Sunday.
38:39Look at this, the Bulldog pouring it on Jake The Snake Roberts now.
38:42The powerful British Bulldog going to town on Jake The Snake Roberts.
38:47And Shawn, I can understand how you don't wanna answer any more of these accusations.
38:50I mean, it must be getting into your head.
38:51But what about the recent comments of your former tag team partner,
38:54Marty Junaid?
38:55You were telling him a few tales out of school as far as your earlier career is
38:59concerned.
39:00What about Marty- Yeah, let me tell you about Marty Junaid.
39:02Look, he's pointing the finger of guilt at you, Shawn Michaels.
39:05And so is Marty Junaid, your trusted tag team partner.
39:09He's your Al Cowlings, but now he's telling the truth about you, isn't he?
39:12What do you wanna hear, that Marty and I weren't a little wild?
39:15I can't tell you that.
39:16I was a young man living the time of my life.
39:18I'm trying to grow as a man, as a person.
39:20I can't do any more than that.
39:22Again, these accusations aren't true.
39:24Were Marty and I wild when we were younger?
39:26Yes, we were.
39:28Well, that was then, and this is now.
39:30And now Shawn Michaels is the World Wrestling Federation Champion.
39:32Look out to the back, he can take the stick, right into a knee into the jaw.
39:36I'm getting sick of this, McMahon.
39:38Plain and simple, this is character assassination, and
39:42I'm getting damn tired of it.
39:44Well, I'm getting tired of you sitting out here lying, Shawn Michaels.
39:46Whoa, wait a minute.
39:47No, I'm telling you, a man of his character shouldn't be out here lying to
39:50the American public, it's not right.
39:52He admitted to the fact that he and
39:54Marty Junaid were a little wild in their younger days.
39:56Let's talk about something more recent.
39:57Let's talk about Pam Anderson, Shawn Michaels.
40:00You remember her, or maybe you don't, there's been so many of them.
40:02What, what are you talking about?
40:04Well, I'm asking you, did you or
40:05did you not have a little thing with Pam Anderson, huh?
40:08What do you mean a thing?
40:09Come on, I read it in the National Enquirer, so I know it's true.
40:12Do you wanna know if I met her?
40:13Yes, I met her.
40:14You met her, yeah.
40:15I guess there's no pillow talk going on there, huh?
40:19All right, come on now.
40:19There was something, obviously, in the Enquirer that made reference to
40:23a relationship between you and Pam Anderson.
40:25That's right, and at the same time, Pam Anderson was engaged to Tommy Lee.
40:28Not witnessing, no one knew about that.
40:30Her parents didn't know about that.
40:32It took the whole world by surprise.
40:34And when that happened,
40:35Shawn Michaels bowed out like the gentleman that he is.
40:37What more do you want from me?
40:39All right, right now, the British Bulldog in control of the matchup.
40:43As he could very well be when he faces you, Shawn Michaels,
40:47you have to consider the extraordinary physical prowess of the British Bulldog.
40:51Here's a man who is a complete powerhouse.
40:53He can mix it up in a brawling type style, and
40:55he also can wrestle very technically.
40:58The British Bulldog could very well be the most formidable opponent you have
41:01faced to date, and that's saying something.
41:04Of course he's a formidable opponent.
41:06That's why I'm out here.
41:06He's more than formidable.
41:08I'm out here preparing myself for this Sunday.
41:10I'm in for the match once again of my career.
41:14Yeah, you better believe it.
41:15Jake The Snake Roberts having great difficulty as anyone would with
41:18the British Bulldog.
41:19The Bulldog now with that leg and continuing to, what's he gonna do now?
41:22No.
41:23Bulldog now right in front of him.
41:25Down across that knee and- Yeah, eye to eye, all right.
41:31He wants you right now, Michaels.
41:33No, he better keep his eye on Jake The Snake Roberts.
41:36Well, Jake The Snake's gonna drop his head right through that mat, and
41:39he may not make it to this Sunday.
41:41Well, indeed, the British Bulldog looking over your way.
41:43Big smile on his face just a moment ago.
41:45Obviously, in essence, saying to you, Shawn Michaels,
41:47the same thing is going on with Jake The Snake Roberts.
41:49What happened to you?
41:50And wait a minute, right out in front of us.
41:52Now, the Bulldog doing damage to the left leg of Jake The Snake Roberts.
41:56The British Bulldog would be the next World Wrestling Federation champion.
42:01That's right, big man, because you see, Shawn Michaels,
42:03what you're trying to take away from the Bulldog was the thing that's most
42:06precious to him in life, and that's his wife, his dear, beloved Diana.
42:10So what he's gonna do to you,
42:11he's gonna take the thing that's most precious to you.
42:13Sure, women don't mean anything to you, but that WWF title does, and
42:16that's what he's gonna take from you Sunday night.
42:19My head can't take any more of this.
42:21Well, we can't take any more of the way you treat women.
42:23Did your mother teach you to have respect for females, huh?
42:26Love them and leave them, Shawn Michaels.
42:28That's all you ever wanna do.
42:29And heaven forbid, if one of them were to ever turn you down.
42:33King, please, come on.
42:34And that's what happened with Diana- Look, I've been turned down plenty of times.
42:38My mother has slapped me across the face plenty of times.
42:41And she has raised a man, and a man that respects everybody with the exception
42:47of you, and if you don't like that, crawl over, McMahon, and do something about it.
42:52Why don't you admit it, Shawn Michaels?
42:53It's the hunt that excites you.
42:55And then, Shawn, once you've made your conquest, once you've got them,
42:59you dump them like yesterday's garbage, don't you?
43:01Tell the truth.
43:02Once again, King, in my defense, I've gotta say you're watching way too much
43:07daytime television.
43:08Geraldo Rivera, Sally Jesse Raphael, and
43:11Ricky Lake cannot hold a candle to Jerry The King Lawler.
43:14Yeah, right.
43:16Look at this, Jake The Snake Roberts trying to battle his way out of this hole.
43:18Well, it has indeed, and the British Bulldog tenacious as ever,
43:20right on top of Jake The Snake Roberts.
43:23Okay, McMahon, I've been holding this back.
43:26But now I'm gonna go ahead and drop it.
43:28The bombshell of the day.
43:29Wait a minute, look at this.
43:30Jake The Snake Roberts now sets up the British Bulldog.
43:33Look out!
43:34Nicely done.
43:36And Jake The Snake Roberts, well, are we gonna see the DDT right here?
43:39He's asking for it.
43:40Here we go.
43:41Jake The Snake Roberts is gonna end this matchup right here.
43:45The Bulldog.
43:46No, no, right back on the leg.
43:47There we go.
43:48Come on, Bulldog.
43:49Now, as I was saying, McMahon, just to prove that this is not a rush to judgment,
43:54I'm fixing to unload the burden of proof right here.
43:57What are you talking about?
43:58Shawn Michaels, just this morning, today, May 20th, 1996, did you or
44:03did you not pose for about a 14-page sprint for Playgirl magazine, huh?
44:10Come on, deny that, did you or not?
44:12Jake The Snake, reaching for that bag, and we're gonna see that snake come out.
44:16Jake The Snake Roberts with that bag.
44:18You're sitting beside the snake, McMahon.
44:19Come on, deny it.
44:20Watch out, Michaels.
44:21Playgirl magazine, does that not prove he's a womanizer?
44:23I was flattered by that.
44:25The answer is yes, yes I did.
44:28I did it this morning.
44:29I had a wonderful time doing it.
44:30I had fun.
44:31It was that simple.
44:32It was that innocent.
44:33And the only thing I would question there is the timing of all of this.
44:37Well, obviously, it's something that I committed to a long time ago.
44:41I'm fulfilling all my commitments.
44:43I've got nothing to hide, McMahon.
44:44Nothing to hide, I guess, not in Playgirl magazine.
44:47We'll see.
44:47It's gonna be in the October issue.
44:49Wait, let me ask you this.
44:51Is it the centerfold?
44:52How much did you show, huh?
44:53I gotta stop it right now.
44:54Did you show as much as you did to Diane?
44:56Stop it.
44:56How dare you?
44:58This has gone far enough- How dare him, Playgirl magazine.
45:01Right now on what's going on in the ring.
45:03Jake The Snake Roberts, the British Bulldog having a go here on Monday Night Raw.
45:09It's getting difficult for me to concentrate on much of anything these days.
45:12Yeah, I guess so.
45:13That little baptismal you had in the Persian Gulf didn't wash away the guilt
45:17that's on your face, but Sunday night,
45:19the British Bulldog will knock that guilt off your face.
45:21Let's talk about the opportunity the Bulldog has this Sunday night and
45:24what led up to it.
45:25Of course, there was an unbelievable Iron Man matchup against
45:28the Hitman Hart at WrestleMania.
45:31That took something out of you, Shawn Michaels, no doubt about it.
45:33And then from there, just last month, of course,
45:35the No Hose Barred matchup with Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
45:38And finally, all of that culminated this past weekend in a steel cage matchup.
45:44Last week, non-title matchup against Hunter Hurst.
45:47Notwithstanding what happened to you over in the Middle East,
45:51defending the title, as well as title defenses in Germany.
45:55The question is, Shawn Michaels, can you focus and
45:58are you physically, psychologically prepared for this?
46:02Wait a minute, wait a minute, five, four, almost a count of three.
46:06Whenever a person reaches the top of their field, everyone tries to knock them off.
46:11They can't do it in the ring, they do it in the tabloids.
46:14The only place that I can seek refuge,
46:16the only place that I can refute all these allegations is in the ring this Sunday.
46:20Yes, but unquestionably, this has been and continues to be, obviously,
46:23by what we have experienced here tonight on Raw, a tremendous distraction.
46:29Yes, of course it's a distraction.
46:31All I can do is do what I've done from the beginning, try to stay focused,
46:35try to keep the blinders on, keep going for the same goal I've been reaching for.
46:40Yeah, wait a minute, wait a minute, the British Bulldog, what's he saying?
46:43Did you hear that, Shawn Michaels said he hadn't even broke a sweat yet, huh?
46:46What do you think about that?
46:47Don't worry, you'll break more than a sweat this Sunday, boy.
46:51Everybody does with Shawn Michaels.
46:53Yeah, he'll break your jaw.
46:54Take the snake right back out.
46:56It'll be the first time, pal.
46:57You can knock me down, King, but can you keep me down?
47:00That's all I wanna know.
47:01The British Bulldog will Sunday night.
47:04Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, here comes Dino Smith.
47:07Obviously throwing caution to the wind, throwing that restraining order.
47:11What? She's coming over here to Shawn Michaels.
47:13What?
47:15We're almost out of time.
47:16Diana Smith continues to confront Shawn Michaels as she has all the way through
47:19the break.
47:20I shouldn't have been the one who had to leave the ring.
47:22You should have been- Diana, you know none of this.
47:24Hey, hey, hey.
47:24None of this. You wouldn't hit a woman, would you, huh?
47:28Yeah, you wouldn't.
47:29Whoa, that's just a sample of what you're gonna get Sunday night, Shawn Michaels.
47:33Wow.
47:34No, I wouldn't hit a woman.
47:37Huh?
47:38Whoa.
47:39What's gonna happen this Sunday?
47:42Now, Bulldog.
