01:22They are here, and we're gonna have them out here live tonight on Raw.
01:26Unbelievable.
01:27I'm gonna tell you this.
01:28There's been a lot of upsets in sports over the weekend.
01:30Nebraska bit the dust, and we've got new WWF Tag Team Champions.
01:34And they've got a new manager, and they're gonna be here tonight live on Raw.
01:39We look forward to the Baron alive in your house October 20th.
01:45Mr. Perfect is joining us for this very special match.
01:50Mr. Perfect, we want to welcome you to the mall,
01:52and we want to welcome you to the finals of the Intercontinental Title Tournament.
01:56Give us your thoughts.
01:57Give us your expertise.
01:59Who do you think is gonna win tonight?
02:00Will it be the Wild Man or this man, Farouk?
02:03Well, let me just tell you this.
02:04I've had a little talk with Mark Merrow,
02:07and I'll tell you what.
02:08He's the only guy in the World Wrestling Federation
02:10that's been willing enough to take Mr. Perfect's advice,
02:13and I gave him a few hints on what it really takes to be
02:16an Intercontinental Champion here in the World Wrestling Federation.
02:19This is gonna be an unbelievable battle.
02:22Farouk, undefeated here in the World Wrestling Federation,
02:25came in by taking out Ahmed Johnson.
02:31He's the reason we're having this tournament here,
02:35and our thoughts are definitely with Ahmed.
02:37But here comes the Wild Man, led by Sable.
02:40Oh, and they're not gonna waste any time, J.O.
02:42Oh, here we go.
02:43It's time to get it on.
02:44One of these two men will be the next Intercontinental Champion,
02:47and we're gonna find out right here tonight live on Raw,
02:51and we all know anything can happen when it's live.
02:55The single elimination tournament has been pared down to these two men.
02:59Pat Patterson, the first Intercontinental Champion,
03:02is the special referee for this very special match.
03:05You know, that makes me the only perfect Intercontinental Champion.
03:09Set fire to caught.
03:10Mirror with the counter, head scissors, Farouk over.
03:13Look at this.
03:14Crucifix, no.
03:15Drops down, rolls up.
03:17One count only, and Farouk able to get out.
03:20Oh, my, what agility from Farouk.
03:23That was an enziguri, quite a head kick right there.
03:26Sonny very pleased on the outside.
03:28Of course, Sonny involved last night as the Smoking Guns
03:31lost the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Battles.
03:33We'll tell you more about that in the hour,
03:35but JR, she is also now without a tag team.
03:38Yes, she is, but more importantly, Ahmed Johnson
03:40watching down in Houston, Texas.
03:42Ahmed Johnson convalescing from the lacerated kidney
03:45at the hands of Farouk.
03:47Irish whip.
03:48Here comes Farouk.
03:49And Miro is out of the way.
03:50Follows up with an arm drag.
03:53Boots in the midsection.
03:54The Wild Man now.
03:56On fire.
03:57There he goes.
03:58And Farouk goes all the way to the floor.
04:01If Farouk wins this matchup, look out.
04:03Here he comes.
04:04Look out.
04:05Somersault.
04:07Unbelievable somersault plancha there by Mark Miro.
04:10Well, it's a good thing Farouk has that headgear on.
04:12It's sort of reminiscent of the crown that I wear, you know.
04:15You got crowned last night by Mark Henry.
04:17Hey, shut up.
04:18We'll talk more about that.
04:19Crown you in a minute.
04:20In your house, mind games was unbelievable.
04:21But look at the Wild Man.
04:22Look at this.
04:23Wow.
04:24Wow.
04:25That was a Miro assault.
04:26Lateral press.
04:27And Farouk able to kick out.
04:30Miro's got to take some chances here to beat this big powerhouse.
04:33Miro's got to be quick, quicker than a hiccup to win the gold.
04:37Oh, my.
04:38Farouk caught him and threw him right over the top rope
04:41all the way out to the floor.
04:43You talk about high intensity.
04:45Take a look at this move right here.
04:48Did you have anything to do with this one, Mr. Perfect?
04:51Don't worry.
04:52I had a talk with Miro.
04:53Unbelievable.
04:55Miro is in a lot of trouble right now.
04:59Sable with a look of consternation on her face
05:02as now Farouk is starting to pound away on the Wild Man.
05:07Now watch this.
05:08Uh-oh.
05:09This could be it right here.
05:10Oh, yes.
05:12You know, fans, the reason we're having this Intercontinental title tournament
05:15is because of the injuries suffered to Ahmed Johnson.
05:18And I understand we do have Ahmed Johnson on the phone right now.
05:21What?
05:22Ahmed, are you there?
05:23I'm right here, baby.
05:24Hey, Ahmed.
05:25We want to thank you for joining us, first of all.
05:27How are you feeling?
05:28Oh, my.
05:29There went Mark Miro's kidneys, Ahmed.
05:30Did you see that?
05:31How are you feeling, Ahmed?
05:32What have the doctors said?
05:33Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better, baby.
05:35And I'll be back before you know it.
05:37That is certainly great news.
05:38What are your thoughts about this match tonight,
05:40Mark Miro against Farouk, for what should be your Intercontinental title?
05:44First of all, I wish Mark all the luck in the world.
05:46But he's got to get a little tougher if he's going to go against Farouk.
05:48But as far as when I get back, hey, it's going to be a cold day in hell.
05:52In the whole WRC Federation as soon as I get back.
05:54Oh, my.
05:55What a power slam.
05:56Hey, Ahmed Johnson, this is The King.
05:58Can you hear me?
05:59Yeah, I can hear you, boy.
06:00Look out.
06:01Two and-
06:02I thought we had a new champion.
06:03There's a rumor going around that you had to get a kidney transplant from Jake
06:06the Snake Roberts.
06:07Ha ha ha.
06:08Is that true?
06:09Hey, King, you think that's funny?
06:10You think losing to Black King is funny?
06:11When I get back, I'll tell you what, punk.
06:13I'm taking you and your crown when I get back.
06:15Ahmed, thank you very much for joining us, Ahmed Johnson.
06:17Let me hang up on him.
06:18That figures, King.
06:19You would insult a man as great as Ahmed Johnson.
06:21Look at his power.
06:22What is Baruch doing?
06:23Look at the strength.
06:24This is amazing.
06:25Holy mackerel.
06:26Look at this amazing strength.
06:27Oh, my.
06:28A Samoa drop from the second rope.
06:30This one may be over.
06:31This may be over.
06:32There with the kidneys, the liver, the spleen.
06:34What else is in there?
06:35One, two.
06:37How did he-
06:39What?
06:40That was a bit of a slow count, I think, maybe, from Pat Patterson.
06:43That could have been what saved the Wild Man, Mark Barrow.
06:45How old is Pat Patterson, anyway?
06:47Listen to this.
06:48Oh, what impact.
06:51That's as fast as he can count.
06:53One more time from the second rope, the Samoa drop.
06:56JR, have you ever seen Baruch look more focused or more intense than tonight?
07:01No, he's absolutely focused.
07:02He knows what's at stake here.
07:04It's sudden death.
07:05Look at Sonny get involved.
07:06And wait a minute.
07:07Sable.
07:08Well, I thought Sable and Sonny were going to go out of here.
07:11And they still may-
07:12Uh-oh.
07:13What?
07:14Pat Patterson is-
07:15Pat Patterson is throwing Sonny.
07:18What?
07:19What?
07:20What is he saying?
07:21He is sending her out.
07:23Sonny's been ejected.
07:25This is not a baseball game.
07:26She can't be ejected.
07:27This match continues.
07:28Stay with us.
07:29Wait a minute.
07:32Welcome back, everyone.
07:33Monday Night Raw.
07:34The Intercontinental Title Tournament continues.
07:36This is the finals.
07:37We are going to crown a new Intercontinental Champion right here.
07:40It's Baruch and the Wild Man, Mark Barrow.
07:42Baruch looking to finish things.
07:43Baruch able to counter.
07:45Going for the backslide.
07:46Look out, Baruch.
07:47Look out.
07:49No, sir.
07:50Baruch able to get his shoulder off.
07:51And once again, he clubs Barrow.
07:53JR, he has been all over the Wild Man, Mark Barrow,
07:57driving him down, really using his power lateral press
08:00to end Barrow able to get his shoulder out.
08:02Well, I guess-
08:03Hey, Baruch's got to be upset about the fact that
08:05that referee, Pat Patterson, has thrown Sonny out of the building.
08:09What's the deal here?
08:10Well, she said he got involved.
08:11He got ejected.
08:12It's like a-
08:13He has a right to do that, King.
08:14Does he think he is Rocky Rowe or somebody like that?
08:18I'll tell you what.
08:19If Baruch would have delivered that devastating finishing maneuver,
08:22I'm not sure what he calls it, a tag or something.
08:24I'll tell you what.
08:25That would have put Mark Barrow off for good.
08:27Barrow now up on his feet.
08:29Drives a couple of elbows to the midsection.
08:31Coming off the ropes.
08:32Oh, but Baruch greets a hard knee right to the midsection.
08:35Mr. Perfect, I know you've been giving Mark Barrow a little advice.
08:38Have you given any advice to Sable?
08:40Yeah, I've told her a few things.
08:42I don't know if she agrees or disagrees with me.
08:44She kind of looked at me with a-
08:45Oh!
08:46A lot of women look at you that way, but that's another story.
08:48Hey.
08:49What about the wild man's finishing maneuver?
08:51The wild thing.
08:52He can hit that, and that's going to beat anybody.
08:54Sunset Flip.
08:55This could do it too, Randy.
08:57Oh, I thought we were going to have a new champion right there.
09:02Baruch's so very strong.
09:04I want to tell you something.
09:05Not only do we have Razor Amon and Big Daddy Cool Diesel right here tonight,
09:10we're also going to expose Double J Jeff Jarrett right here tonight.
09:15What are you talking about?
09:16You're going to see, King, and you being a native Tennessean,
09:19you may not like this.
09:21And nobody in Tennessee may like it, but that's their problem.
09:24Wait a minute, Jim Ross.
09:25I'm getting a little tired of all of your hoodwinking going on around here.
09:29I'm not hoodwinking anybody.
09:30All I've seen so far is a couple of pictures of somebody that might be Diesel and Razor.
09:35They were too far away.
09:36I couldn't tell.
09:37You're promising me Diesel and Razor are going to be here tonight.
09:39We saw them last night, King and Savio Vega.
09:42He's very angry.
09:43He's even got proof.
09:44Savio's got some knots on his head to prove it.
09:47Certainly does.
09:48But I'm asking you, are Diesel and Razor going to be here tonight?
09:52Yes, King.
09:53Read my lips.
09:54Hershey Parkerina's on its ear.
09:56Merrill.
09:57Oh, and it falls on.
09:58The pace quickens, and Merrill regains the advantage.
10:01That's how this match has gone.
10:03When it's slow and deliberate, it's Farouk with the advantage.
10:06Merrill.
10:08Nobody home on the elbow.
10:09Trying to capitalize on an advantage.
10:11Farouk now back in control.
10:14Slams him right down.
10:15This is a physical matchup reminiscent of last night.
10:18What do you expect, Jim Ross?
10:20It's for the Intercontinental Championship.
10:22What do you expect?
10:23I'm not surprised.
10:24Farouk going to the high rep district, and he paid for it.
10:27I'm only making an observation.
10:29Last night was a knockdown dragout.
10:31And if you missed it, shame on you, folks.
10:35Merrill is tagging Farouk.
10:39Going up to the second rope.
10:41High rest time.
10:42He's got to take a chance, does Merrill.
10:44Are you kidding me?
10:45Hurricanrana.
10:48Farouk is down in the center of the ring.
10:50He's got to go for the cover.
10:51Capitalize.
10:52Capitalize.
10:53One, two.
10:55No.
10:57Half a count away from a new Intercontinental Champion.
11:01Merrill now firing Farouk across.
11:04Ooh, he missed with a clothesline.
11:06Both men clotheslined each other, and both men are down.
11:09But the man with the most body weight has got to have an advantage there,
11:13and that is Farouk.
11:14What an unbelievable hurricanrana applied perfectly by Mark Merrill.
11:18But Farouk shows his toughness, and Sonny is coming back out once again.
11:22Oh, yeah.
11:24Well, I guess he wasn't thrown out of the building after all.
11:27Hey.
11:28Unless he's got a twin sister.
11:29Sonny is back.
11:31Sable is over there, and these two are having words.
11:33Wow.
11:34Wow, let's do it.
11:35Uh-oh.
11:36They're going to get it on right here.
11:37Here we go.
11:38These two women are in a fight.
11:42Whoa.
11:43Whoa.
11:44Here we go.
11:45Catfight.
11:46Catfight.
11:47Yahoo.
11:48The queens of the WWF are outside the ring.
11:53Oh, no.
11:54Wait a minute.
11:56Merrill just nailed Farouk with Sonny's purse.
12:00That thing must weigh 20 pounds.
12:05Now, Merrill.
12:07Sonny.
12:08Sonny.
12:09Sonny with your purse.
12:10Sonny and Sable.
12:11This is what I talked to Merrill about.
12:12Sonny and Sable have been broken up outside the ring.
12:14Merrill's going for the wild thing.
12:17Merrill's going to go for the wild thing.
12:19And if he hits it, we've got a new champion right now.
12:22Here goes Merrill.
12:23Do something, Sonny.
12:26Taking his time.
12:28Oh.
12:29One, two.
12:31We got a new intercontinental champion.
12:35The wild man, Mark Merrill.
12:39And new World Wrestling Federation
12:43intercontinental champion, Wild Man Mark Merrill.
12:48Sonny.
12:49Sonny, he hit him with your purse.
12:50Watch this.
12:52Oh, yeah.
12:54The wild man has done it.
12:56He is the new intercontinental champion.
13:01Jim Ross and Mr. Perfect have gone in to greet the champion.
13:06Ladies and gentlemen, the new intercontinental champion,
13:10the wild man, Mark Merrill.
13:12Oh, what a night for you.
13:14Congratulations.
13:15We're so proud of you here.
13:17Look at how he did it.
13:18First of all, I give all glory and honor
13:21to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
13:23I want to thank all the fans.
13:28Forget the fans.
13:31I want to thank my inspiration, my motivation, my best friend,
13:37my partner in life, in and out of the ring, my lover, Sable.
13:42Oh, yeah.
13:43This is as much yours.
13:45He ought to be thinking that brick that was in Sonny's purse.
13:48That's what he ought to think.
13:50That's a beautiful scene.
13:51That is absolutely beautiful.
13:53Oh, yeah.
13:54I got one more special thank you.
13:57For his wisdom, all the good advice he's given me
14:01has brought me the intercontinental title.
14:04Thank you, Mr. Perfect.
14:06Oh, what a tremendous scene this is.
14:09What a great champion.
14:10What about me?
14:11Jim, you're a great guy.
14:13Wow.
14:14All right, ladies and gentlemen, the wild man, Mark Merrill.
14:17And don't forget, still to come, live right here,
14:21Big Daddy killed Diesel, and the bad guy, Razor Ramon.
14:24We've got a new intercontinental champion.
14:27And that is the wild man, Mark Merrill.
14:30So apparently, wait a second, that's Razor Ramon
14:33and Diesel Stressing Room.
14:34They are here tonight.
14:36Both men, former intercontinental champions.
14:39We just crowned a new intercontinental champion here.
14:42But let's go back and talk about the intercontinental title.
14:45Back in Nashville, July 1995,
14:48Shawn Michaels with an attempt to become
14:50the intercontinental champion for the third time.
14:52Wait a minute, what are you showing this for?
14:54Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
14:55The roadie accidentally grabbed Jarrett's leg.
14:58Michaels on his feet, and it was Music City, USA,
15:01a little sweet chin music.
15:03The three count was told, and Shawn Michaels,
15:06for the third time, was crowned intercontinental champion.
15:09That was supposed to be Jeff Jarrett's night.
15:12Well, yeah, what do you expect with that idiot roadie
15:15on the outside?
15:16Look at him, he's got his back turned to the action.
15:18He doesn't even see that it's Double J he's tripping,
15:21and the idiot roadie cost Jeff Jarrett the title.
15:24Well, Jarrett thought at least,
15:27even if he didn't have the title,
15:28he'd have his hit song, With My Baby Tonight.
15:31Yeah.
15:33There he is.
15:35He lost his intercontinental title,
15:37but did he actually sing the song?
15:39Tonight, we will expose Double J.
15:43What?
15:44Expose Double J?
15:46♪
15:59Tonight, WWE RAW is brought to you by
16:02Sony PlayStation,
16:04killer of hopes,
16:05master of egos.
16:08And let's take you now to the locker room
16:10of the victorious wild man, Mark Merrill.
16:12I understand Doc Henderson is back there.
16:14The celebration is underway.
16:17Yes, the celebration is under the way.
16:19We have a brand new intercontinental champion.
16:22As you can see, he's being congratulated
16:24by other WWF superstars.
16:29What a victory by the wild man, Mark Merrill.
16:36There he is, the brand new intercontinental champion.
16:42Mark Merrill! Mark Merrill! Mark Merrill!
16:47All right.
16:48Back to you guys at ringside.
16:50It's going crazy here.
16:52Oh, thank you very much, Doc.
16:53That party's gonna continue all night long.
16:56But we told you fans,
16:57Double J, Jeff Jarrett will be exposed.
17:01Vince McMahon took a very special look
17:04at Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
17:06You will not believe this.
17:08It was July 23, 1995, the setting Nashville, Tennessee.
17:14And this was supposed to be the greatest moment of Double J Jeff Jarrett's life.
17:19A triumphant return to Music City, his hometown.
17:21The same town which had rejected him summarily both as a WWF superstar and
17:26as an entertainer.
17:27Double J was gonna make them all eat crow.
17:29Not only was he gonna battle Shawn Michaels, the self-proclaimed greatest
17:33entertainer in the world was gonna perform his hit song, With My Baby Tonight,
17:36live on stage in front of all of us naysayers.
17:39But tonight, on Monday Night Raw, the man Double J Jeff Jarrett exposed.
17:44As we are gonna show you in a moment, ladies and gentlemen, via videotape,
17:47Double J Jeff Jarrett was simply country music's version of Milli Vanilli.
17:52Check it out.
17:52Now, that just wasn't a poor lip sync, indeed.
18:17Double J Jeff Jarrett never sang the song.
18:19He never even recorded it, ladies and gentlemen.
18:22Double J Jeff Jarrett was about to be exposed, and
18:24that very night he walked out on the World Wrestling Federation.
18:28However, next week, the man who really sang the song With My Baby Tonight,
18:33that's right, right here next week, ladies and gentlemen, on Monday Night Raw,
18:36the man who was ripped off by Double J is gonna join us, that's right.
18:41The man who really sang With My Baby Tonight,
18:43the real Double J, right here, next week.
18:47Well, that certainly is an unbelievable situation, King.
18:56Well, all I can tell you is, Kevin Kelly and Jim Ross,
18:59I happen to know that that particular night,
19:01Double J Jeff Jarrett was having a little throat problem.
19:03Yeah, what was he having?
19:04Japanese Dove Syndrome?
19:06Hey, that's not funny, Ross.
19:08The Body Donners are in the ring, skip and
19:10zip as they prepare to face, yes, indeed, the new World Wrestling Federation
19:14Tag Team Champions with their new manager, Clarence Mason.
19:20It's Owen Hart and the British Bulldog.
19:22Can you imagine going home with Sonny?
19:25I guess a lot of you can't.
19:26She's got a very happy lady right now.
19:28She lost the WWE Tag Titles just last night in a heck of a match in Philadelphia
19:33at Mind Games, and then tonight she walks away once again empty handed
19:38without the Intercontinental Championship.
19:40Well, last night, after Jim Cornette wrestled Jose Landerio,
19:46Clarence Mason went into the first aid room.
19:48Clarence Mason is joining us right now.
19:50And as we take a look, Mr. Mason, I think
19:53you took advantage of a man who was not in right mental faculty, shall we say.
20:00Let me tell you something.
20:01There was nothing done wrong there.
20:03You didn't see me hold a gun to Jim Cornette's head.
20:06You didn't see me twisting his arm.
20:07I didn't do anything of the sort, you understand what I'm saying to you?
20:10Did you sign that contract under duress?
20:12He did not sign anything under duress.
20:14Did you, sir, attempt to perpetuate a fraud?
20:16Listen, I'm the attorney here, and I don't
20:18appreciate being talked to the manner in which you're talking to me.
20:20Well, Mr. Cornette signed that document.
20:22He signed it with all free will.
20:24He thought he was signing power of attorney for the match.
20:26Hey, hey, you guys calm down now.
20:27Mr. Clarence Mason is accredited to the profession of law.
20:32This man is a gentleman, and he's honest,
20:34and he's trustworthy as the day is long.
20:36Well, he pulled one over on Jim Cornette, that's for sure.
20:38Let me tell you something.
20:39You better watch what you say.
20:40I'll sue you for defamation, slander, you name it.
20:43I'll get you.
20:44You better watch what you say to me.
20:45Go ahead, sue their pants off.
20:47Well, the fact is, the document that Mr.
20:50Mason had Cornette sign was indeed the contract.
20:53Now, Mason is the manager of Owen and the Bulldog.
20:58And here goes Owen.
21:01Oh my, is it Roosevelt 2 again?
21:03This is a non-title match here.
21:05Owen and the Bulldog with a big win.
21:07This is good.
21:07Look at this.
21:09The little local Philadelphia wrestling outfit.
21:12They're here.
21:13Oh, that's really good.
21:14They wrestle in a bingo hall.
21:17A little local outfit trying to get their 15 minutes of fame.
21:20Ha ha ha ha.
21:22Yeah.
21:26Welcome back, everyone, to Monday Night Raw.
21:28We are live from Hershey Park Arena, Hershey, Pennsylvania.
21:32We are looking at the new World Wrestling Federation
21:34Tag Team Champions in the ring.
21:35That is Owen Hart and the British Bulldog.
21:37Their new manager, Clarence Mason, is here at ringside.
21:39You better believe it.
21:40But Bulldog- Just like I always say, baby,
21:42they're in good hands with Clarence Mason.
21:44Bulldog and Owen are having their hands full right now
21:46with Skip and Zip.
21:48And don't forget tonight, it's the bad guy Razor Amon and Big Daddy
21:52Cool Diesel right here live.
21:54The story was mine.
21:55I broke the story.
21:57I guarantee it's going to happen right here tonight.
21:58You better not be hoodwinking us.
22:00Oh, hoodwink yourself, Owen.
22:01I'm telling you, history's already
22:02been made with the new Intercontinental Champion
22:04tonight.
22:04You better come through with your promise, Jim Ross.
22:07Listen, this is what's going on.
22:08This is what's happening in the World Wrestling Federation.
22:11You understand what I'm telling you?
22:13That is Skip in the ring now with Owen Hart.
22:15Of course, the smoking guns gave a tremendous effort last night.
22:20But a little bit of problems, I think,
22:24last night within the smoking guns.
22:25But right now, as we see, oh my, the power
22:28of the British Bulldog.
22:29Skip up and over the top, rolls him through,
22:32pinning combination, one, two.
22:34What do you mean problems with the smoking guns last night?
22:36Right now, standing by is the man, Mr. Mason,
22:39I think you owe an apology to.
22:41That's Jim Cornette.
22:43You better believe you owe me a stinking apology,
22:45you little peanut-headed shyster.
22:46I signed a piece of paper for you
22:48to represent me to sue Jose Lathario for assaulting battery.
22:51And you hard-swaggled me out of a tag team.
22:53I'm going to tell you something.
22:54You're a crook, and I'm going to get you disbarred, disarmed,
22:58dismembered, and any other kind of dis I can.
23:00And I'm going to get my own revenge on Jose.
23:02Because next week, right here on Raw, me and Vader
23:05are taking on Shawn Michaels and Jose Lathario
23:08in a tag team match.
23:09And I'm going to get even with Jose.
23:10And Vader's going to get Shawn.
23:12And then, Clarence Mason, I'm calling some kind of journal.
23:15I'm calling some kind of bar association.
23:17I'm calling anybody I can to get even with you,
23:20you no-good, dirty, stupid, backstabbing thief.
23:23Thank you much.
23:23That's my tag team matchup right here next week.
23:25I never did anything wrong.
23:26I never said I wasn't going to represent him
23:28in an action against Jose Lathario.
23:30And I'm going to do it just as soon as he pays me.
23:34What?
23:34You are unbelievable, Clarence Mason.
23:37Now, Ziggler's in the ring.
23:38Oh, my.
23:39Owen Hart sent about 10 feet up on the backdrop.
23:42I tell you one thing, Clarence, you
23:43can start by suing those idiots.
23:44Oh, right in front of us.
23:47Wow, what a move right there.
23:48Let me tell you right here, next week, one-on-one.
23:50Next week, Coronet and Vader against the WWE champions,
23:53Shawn Michaels and Jose Lathario.
23:55And what about this?
23:56I just got word.
23:57Next week, Savio Vega meets Razor Amon right here next week.
24:02That's exactly right.
24:03Unbelievable.
24:04Oh, rocket launcher.
24:07Lateral press, one, two, and three.
24:10Oh, boy.
24:11Let me tell you something.
24:11You're watching the best tag team in the World Wrestling
24:13Federation, managed by the greatest lawyer of all time.
24:17Why, just the other day-
24:19Beautiful.
24:20Why, just the other day, I was in the courtroom,
24:22and I had a case, the strangest case of all.
24:24Sharpshooter.
24:25Sharpshooter.
24:26The Sharpshooter upon.
24:28And Owen Hart has it locked in tight.
24:30Look at him.
24:31There he is.
24:31And Owen Hart and the British Bulldog are victorious.
24:35Well, that's Bret Hart's maneuver.
24:36Bret Hart, the innovator of this thing.
24:39I was so embarrassed for Bret last night.
24:41All the things that Brian Pillman and Owen Hart and Stone Cold Steve
24:44Austin said about him.
24:46Quit talking about Bret Hart.
24:47He's a coward.
24:48He won't face Stone Cold Steve Austin.
24:49He didn't show up last night.
24:50Bret Hart is no coward.
24:51Don't waste your breath talking about Bret, the Hitman Hart.
24:54Yeah.
24:55Well, it's Owen Hart and British Bulldog victorious.
24:57Last night, of course, they went over the smoking guns.
24:59And what an event last night at In Your House Mind Games,
25:04the pay-per-view extravaganza.
25:07And it was the WWF title match, the main event,
25:11the deranged challenger, Mankind, and the champion, Shawn Michaels.
25:16It had an ominous atmosphere from the start.
25:18And it was one of the most physically demanding and damaging
25:21matches in World Wrestling Federation history.
25:23It was carnage.
25:24Well, both superstars were completely out of control.
25:26At one point, folks, both Mankind and
25:29Shawn came crashing through the announced position.
25:32But it didn't stop there.
25:33Shawn Michaels, in one of the most spectacular maneuvers in recent memory,
25:38superkicked Mankind right off the top turnbuckle.
25:41Shawn was about to pin Mankind when Vader interceded.
25:44And Shawn was certainly outnumbered until Psycho Sid charged the ring.
25:49Sid and Vader went toe-to-toe.
25:50And now they'll meet one-on-one at Buried Alive, October 20th.
25:54Yeah, but the greatest thing of all last night was when Paul Bearer
25:57smashed Shawn Michaels over the head with the urn.
25:59Shawn was laying helpless in the ring when Mankind's mandible claw took on
26:02a life of its own.
26:03And then, incredibly, the Undertaker materialized from inside the casket.
26:07The Undertaker attacked his betrayers, and they fled.
26:10Mankind and Paul Bearer will have nowhere to run, though, on October 20th.
26:14Because in the first ever non-sanctioned WWF pay-per-view match,
26:19the loser will be buried alive.
26:21The wounds I suffered at SummerSlam have just begun to heal.
26:31But there's one scar that I shall carry for all of eternity.
26:42The scar of betrayal.
26:47Paul Bearer, Mankind, last night you witnessed who truly is the master
27:01of the mind game.
27:05And Mankind, I have condemned you to eternal damnation.
27:17Mankind, I am going to bury you alive.
27:32And you will never rest in peace.
27:40Unsanctioned by the World Wrestling Federation,
27:47the first ever Buried Alive match.
27:49There's the headstone as we see it.
27:52It is going to be an unbelievable scene, and
27:55that will take place in your house, Buried Alive, October 20th in Indianapolis.
28:00A real cemetery is gonna be built in the Market Square Arena.
28:02That's how you can get tickets.
28:03You wanna be a part of this one live, folks.
28:05Ticketmaster has your tickets, and there you see the number on your screen.
28:09317-239-5151 for ticket information.
28:13Be in the Indianapolis Market Square Arena live and
28:16see this cemetery constructed on the floor of the arena.
28:19I'll tell you this, I don't blame the WWF for not sanctioning that.
28:23I'd never get in a match like this.
28:24Standing by right now is Doc Hendricks, who I understand has got maybe an interview
28:29with Razor Ramon and Diesel.
28:30Doc, what do you got?
28:31Guys, I can't believe it.
28:32Actually, someone's gonna get buried alive in Indianapolis.
28:35And actually, I'm standing outside the locker room of Razor Ramon and Diesel.
28:38I'm gonna go inside, attempt to get an interview,
28:40maybe ask Razor about his matchup with Savio Vega next week on Raw.
28:45Razor, Diesel, can I get?
28:49Maybe I picked a bad time.
28:51Back to you guys at ringside.
28:52All right, thank you, Doc.
28:53Yeah, maybe you're out of your league too, Doc.
28:54That's my interview.
28:55I'm gonna talk to Razor and Diesel, and I'm gonna talk to them tonight right here.
28:59They're gonna be here tonight live, I guarantee it.
29:03And now, Sony's PlayStation, featuring the hit game Crash Bandicoot,
29:07presents the PlayStation Slam of the Week.
29:11What a war for the WWF gold!
29:14One, two, three, four, five, six, a suplex off the top that Michaels
29:20countered into a crossbody that destroyed the table.
29:24Monitors have come to a flying.
29:26Nobody giving a damn about their own personal anatomy.
29:30The Slam of the Week was brought to you by Sony's PlayStation,
29:33featuring the hit game Crash Bandicoot.
29:36You are not ready.
29:38Shawn Michaels and the man they call Vader.
29:44Their battles have been epic encounters.
29:47Each man throwing caution to the wind and
29:50laying it all on the line in the pursuit of victory.
29:54Now, Shawn Michaels teams up with his mentor, Jose Lathario,
29:59to battle Vader and his manager, Jim Cornette.
30:03It's Raw, and it's only on USA, next Monday night.
30:09And perhaps equally as important, ladies and gentlemen,
30:11Razor Ramon right here next week against Savio Vega.
30:14And of course, we're gonna talk to Razor and Diesel live right here in just
30:17a few moments.
30:17But joining us right now is Stone Cold Steve Austin.
30:21Mr. Austin, you created quite a stir last night in your house.
30:25Shut up.
30:27We wanna talk a little bit about Bret the Hitman Hart.
30:30You know, Hitman used to go around the WWF, he claimed to be a great artist.
30:34Then I came along.
30:34Take a look at this artwork right here.
30:36My artwork on the cover of the comedy magazine that's out today.
30:39He knew he wasn't the greatest artist of all time.
30:41He used to claim to be the greatest wrestler.
30:43Then Steve Austin came along, and now he's hit the hype table.
30:46I got something I'd like to make clear right now.
30:48Because of the censors, I can't use the word I'd like to use, but
30:53I'll use a word that rhymes with it.
30:55I spit on the life, the career, and the family of Bret the Hitman Hart.
31:02Whoa.
31:03And if his parents would have been smart enough to practice safe sex some 30 years
31:07ago, I wouldn't be dealing with him right now.
31:11Well, Hunter Hearst Helmsley is making his way to the ring.
31:13This is gonna be a tremendous contest, fans.
31:15Next year on Raw, Hunter Hearst Helmsley's gonna go one-on-one with the Stalker.
31:20What a confrontation this is gonna be.
31:22You talk about the Hitman's parents, they produce more tragedies than Shakespeare.
31:28You know, one way or the other, I'm gonna get a reaction out of Bret Hart.
31:32If I have to fly to Calgary and beat up his old man, that's what I'll do.
31:37If I have to throw rocks in his window, that's what I'll do.
31:40But the bottom line is, Bret the Hitman Hart is gonna answer to Stone Cold.
31:45Because I won't have it any other way.
31:47Hey, are you listening, Hitman?
31:49Don't think this man's kidding, cuz he'll do it.
31:52Hunter Hearst Helmsley with another beautiful lady by his side.
31:55Yeah, he better look over his shoulder, Shed Helmsley.
31:58Mr. Perfect is in the house, as we know.
32:02Perfect is back leading the celebration for the new Intercontinental Champion.
32:06Crowned earlier tonight, the Wildman, Mark Merrow.
32:09Big deal.
32:10His opponent- Did you say Perfect's back with Sable?
32:13I didn't say that.
32:14You know what, you sit there and you look out, and
32:18you see all these Austin 360 signs, all the Stone Cold signs.
32:23And these people think they're making friends with Stone Cold.
32:26But they all got another thing coming.
32:29Because I go out in the ring each and every night and
32:32prove I'm the best in the world.
32:34And all these people can do is sit on their sorry asses and
32:38wave some little sign around.
32:40That's a big deal, and it takes a lot of talent to do that, now doesn't it?
32:45Boy, the Stalker is looking great.
32:48Hunter Hearst Helmsley in tip-top condition.
32:50This is gonna be a tremendous battle.
32:52And Hunter Hearst Helmsley's lady crossing right in front of us here at
32:56the broadcast position.
32:57King, your eyes about popped out of your head.
32:58What a dress.
32:59I've seen more cotton in the top of an aspirin bottle than is in that dress.
33:03I'll tell you something, the electricity here tonight is off the page last night.
33:09Physically demanding pay-per-view I've ever seen was last night in Philadelphia.
33:13And I guarantee the intensity's gonna be turned up a notch.
33:16What about Saginaw, Michigan on Thursday?
33:18Or Detroit, the world-famous Joe Louis Arena Friday night is gonna be awesome.
33:23Saturday night in Pittsburgh at the Civic Arena and the big one.
33:27What an event.
33:28Everybody's looking forward to this Sunday in Madison Square Garden,
33:31this Sunday afternoon.
33:33And don't forget, your tickets- Shut up.
33:36Tickets go on sale as well.
33:37In one of those towns, all Bret Hart's gotta do is show up there, and
33:40I'll whip his ass wherever it is this week.
33:43Now you can talk.
33:44There's a big fat one right here you might start with, please.
33:46If he cuts me off again, I'm gonna stomp his brains in.
33:49Time I get through with you, son, your head look like a busted open watermelon.
33:52Don't think I'm playing either, cuz I'm not.
33:56Well, Mr. Austin, I want no confrontation with you.
33:58I'm letting the fans know in Indianapolis,
34:00the tickets are available at the Market Square Arena.
34:02Ticketmaster box office, Ticketmaster in the local area for
34:06In Your House, Buried Alive, October the 20th.
34:09That is gonna be an unbelievable event.
34:10Somebody's gonna be buried alive, literally, six feet under in Indianapolis.
34:14Will it be the Undertaker or will it be mankind?
34:17Stalker pinning the arm back of Hunter Hearst Helmsley,
34:20slamming him down right down across that left arm.
34:23That's a good move by Barry Wynton, the Stalker.
34:26Hammerlock that arm and slam Helmsley down on it.
34:31Helmsley came back with a pretty good little move of his own, though, uh-oh.
34:34Stalker now driving a couple of elbows into the midsection.
34:37But Helmsley taking the Stalker face first to the buckle.
34:41Reversal of the Irish Whip.
34:42Helmsley goes in hard, up and down with the big backdrop.
34:46Maybe this match will be over early where I can spend more time with Razor and
34:49Diesel, cuz I know they've got a lot to say.
34:52Well, they did not wanna talk to Doc Hendricks a little while ago.
34:55But the locker room is filled.
34:58They are here.
34:59And that big story getting set to envelop us tonight here on Raw.
35:05Jesus, you're killing me.
35:07King, let me ask you a question.
35:09Okay, go ahead.
35:09If Red Hart is the best there is, was, and ever will be in all that, and
35:13the essence of execution, why in the hell don't he show up or
35:16say something to Stone Cold?
35:17He's a gutless wonder.
35:19He says he's this and that.
35:21All he's gotta do is prove it to me, son.
35:23Because the thing about it is, it's become personal with me.
35:27I wanna find out how good he's supposed to be, and
35:30I wanna find out and show everybody how good I am.
35:33And it's gonna happen sooner or later.
35:35Get personal with the Hitman.
35:37Talk about those Regal Epo parents, about his mother whose face got so
35:40many wrinkles, it would hold a five-day ring.
35:43Well, here comes Mr. Perfect down the aisle once again.
35:48Now, what's he doing out here, Stone Cold?
35:50You got me.
35:51What's he doing out here?
35:52Don't take an eye.
35:53It's time to figure that one out, King.
35:54Where have you been?
35:56You know what he's gonna wanna do?
35:58Irish whip, Helmsley, out of the way, and
36:00Stalker crashes chest first right to the buckle.
36:03Helmsley's already distracted.
36:06Helmsley has already been affected by Mr. Perfect's presence.
36:10Boy, this could be the closest situation.
36:13Uh-oh, the Stalker there to greet.
36:16Up will Perfect take Hunter's Lady.
36:19Stunned.
36:20This is over.
36:21Federation Superstar Line is open 24 hours a day and open right now.
36:25Just call 1-900-737-4WWF.
36:28And right now on option six, find out tonight why Diesel and
36:32Razor attacked Sami Omega last night at Mind Games.
36:35The call costs just $1.49 per minute.
36:37Kids under 18 must have parent's permission before calling.
36:40You wanna call now.
36:42Welcome back, everyone, to Monday Night Raw.
36:47Live from the Hershey Park Arena, Hershey, Pennsylvania.
36:49Huge crowd on hand, enjoying just a tremendous broadcast.
36:53Unbelievable so far.
36:55And the Stalker, Hunter Hearst Helmsley going at it.
36:57Stone Cold Steve Austin is here at the broadcast position along with the King,
37:00JR, and myself.
37:01We've got a new Intercontinental Champion crowned tonight,
37:04the Wild Man Mark Merrow.
37:05And as soon as this match is over, I hope we have ample time.
37:09We're gonna bring Razor Ramon and
37:11Big Daddy Cool Diesel right out here in the center of the ring.
37:15I gotta see it to believe it, Ross.
37:17You better come through.
37:18Hunter Hearst Helmsley pounding away on the Stalker.
37:20And fans, while we were at commercial break, here's some of the action.
37:23You'll see a tremendous DDT there from the Stalker.
37:28But Hunter Hearst Helmsley was able to kick out.
37:31Just barely, though.
37:32Still, Mr. Perfect is just standing over there.
37:35And he keeps looking over here at Hunter Hearst Helmsley's girl.
37:39Well, so are you, King.
37:40Well, you know, Christie Brinkley just got married.
37:42JFK Jr. just got married.
37:43I don't miss.
37:45Maybe Mr. Perfect's scoping out a new wife.
37:48What do you think?
37:49I don't know if Mrs. Perfect would agree.
37:51Mr. Perfect has interjected himself in Hunter Hearst Helmsley's business now for
37:55quite some time.
37:55Of course, they had a confrontation just a few weeks ago on WWF Superstars.
37:59Well, let me tell you this.
38:00If these guys don't get this match over pretty quick,
38:02I'm gonna bring Razor and Diesel out here anyway.
38:04What? Nobody's gonna make it.
38:05Well, I promise these guys.
38:07They're here in the building.
38:08Don't let me run out of time.
38:09I'm not hoodwinking anybody.
38:10Sleeper hold applied.
38:11We could have the ending of this one.
38:13Hunter Hearst Helmsley got it locked in tight.
38:15Stalker trying to find an escape.
38:17My.
38:18I see if Hunter Hearst Helmsley wouldn't have been worried about Perfect and
38:22this chick at ringside, that would have never happened.
38:24As far as Barry Windham's concerned, the Stalker,
38:26why the hell has he got all that pain on his face?
38:29I know who he is.
38:30Everybody else knows who he is.
38:31Is he embarrassed or what?
38:32What's the deal with that?
38:33Great dropkick.
38:34Somebody talk to me.
38:35I wish you'd get a little more camouflage where we couldn't see him at all.
38:39Great dropkick there by the 280 pound Stalker.
38:42Now backing Helmsley against the ropes.
38:45This has been a back and forth match since the opening bell.
38:47Throwing a hard right hand to the midsection.
38:49Now the Stalker.
38:50Irish whip.
38:51Helmsley up and over and back down in again.
38:53My.
38:56Helmsley's out.
38:57This one is over.
38:58No it ain't.
39:00Kelly's a little tougher than that.
39:01Lateral press.
39:02I thought he could have had him right there, JR.
39:06Hey King, are you sore today?
39:08What? Are you sore today?
39:09Or is that what you took last night from Mark Henry?
39:11How do you feel?
39:13Strongest man in the world, you know.
39:14Why don't you feel me and see?
39:15I'll pass.
39:17Tremendous debut.
39:18I'm the world's strongest man, Mark Henry, at your expense.
39:21You know well, and you know too, Kevin Kelly.
39:23I had a case of the 24 hour flu.
39:25I should have been bedridden last night.
39:27Tremendous debut.
39:28He ain't got no business at all at Wrestling Federation.
39:31That's for sure.
39:32And I'm gonna back you up on this one, cuz that was a damn fluke last night.
39:34Here comes Mr. Perfect.
39:37Mr. Perfect's got his radar.
39:39Radar. Holding on to this young lady.
39:40As his radar doesn't come over in my direction, he's gonna be okay.
39:44And Mr. Perfect now has fed the lady up to his feet, up to her feet.
39:49My, the Stalker.
39:50You won't believe what Perfect said to that young lady.
39:54I don't think Hunter's seen it yet.
39:57Wait a minute here.
39:58I'd like somebody to tell me what line he uses on him.
40:01Now Hunter sees it, and here he goes.
40:03He's gonna go right up and out over the top rope.
40:06Helmsley sees Perfect taking his lady away.
40:08Wait a minute, here's the big distraction.
40:10Wake up, Hurst.
40:11And the Stalker barely went unable to take advantage of this situation now.
40:17The Stalker has Helmsley poised up on the top rope.
40:20He could be looking to deliver the superplex.
40:22No way.
40:23This will be over now.
40:24It's gonna be over.
40:26We're gonna have some time left.
40:27Perfect and Hunter's lady are at the entranceway.
40:31One, two, three.
40:33What a rip.
40:35Look at this.
40:38Jim Ross wasting no time in his preparation for
40:41his interview with Razor Ramon and Diesel.
40:43A big win for the Stalker.
40:45And it would have never happened if Perfect and
40:48this chick hadn't have come out here.
40:50This kid ever gets his thoughts together.
40:52Look at Stone Cold.
40:53Stone Cold, look, Ross is already in the ring.
40:55I can't wait to see.
40:56All right, ladies and gentlemen, I've been talking about bringing Razor Ramon and
41:01Big Daddy Kill Diesel right back out here in the ring.
41:04It's about time that we got back out here in the ring.
41:07But before we do- It was the Undertaker.
41:12It was all the Undertaker's fault.
41:15He was the reason that you lost the WWF Championship last night.
41:20The Undertaker.
41:22And what was he doing in our casket?
41:24The casket that belonged to us.
41:27But you know, we still have the power of his eyes.
41:32All events of last night were squirming like maggots around my diseased mind.
41:40Because I can't figure out how did he get there?
41:44He wasn't there.
41:47But you see, Undertaker, you will come to view last night as your
41:53gravest mistake because you took something that was merely destiny.
41:59And made it personal.
42:01I can feel it.
42:02This is the spot.
42:04This is where the Undertaker wants to bury you alive.
42:07Oh, yes, it is.
42:09Yes, it is.
42:11You see, Undertaker, you took something that was mine.
42:16And now I've got no choice but to take something that's yours.
42:21Your last breath.
42:23And I will make it mine.
42:25Mine.
42:27All mine.
42:30Oh, good night, Craig.
42:32Can we do this interview now?
42:33Ladies and gentlemen, I promise to bring Razor on and
42:36take you out of the World Wrestling Federation right here to this ring tonight.
42:40Again, before we do, if we could do this interview now,
42:43I got something rather personal I'd like to tell each and every one of you.
42:47All right, wait a minute, we gotta take a quick break, stay with us.
42:51What?
42:54All right, ladies and gentlemen,
42:55before I was so rudely interrupted with a commercial break,
42:58we're gonna conduct this interview right now.
43:01And in just a couple of moments,
43:03I'm gonna bring Big Daddy Cool Diesel and Razor Ramon right out here.
43:10But before I do, I'd like to just beg your indulgence for
43:15just a minute or so and tell you something that I've got on my mind.
43:19There's something I've been waiting to say for a long, long time.
43:24And when I'm through telling you, many of you are going to question my loyalty
43:29to the World Wrestling Federation, so let's clear that up right now.
43:34What's he talking about?
43:35I have no idea.
43:36I have no loyalty to the World Wrestling Federation.
43:39I've only got loyalty to good old JR, and let me tell you why.
43:47In 1993, I left a great job in Atlanta, Georgia.
43:53And I left the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League
43:59to go to the recognized leader of sports entertainment, the WWF.
44:04And I came here to be the primary play-by-play man in the WWF.
44:11I don't think anybody here is gonna disagree that I'm the best play-by-play
44:16man in the whole damn business.
44:18What's he doing?
44:21I really don't know.
44:22This is an embarrassing, uncomfortable- So I show up for
44:25work the first day at WrestleMania IX in Las Vegas, Nevada.
44:30And they give me a sheet to wear.
44:33They said, it's gonna be a toga.
44:35You'll look good in a toga, JR.
44:37I lead the National Football League for a toga.
44:40It's crap.
44:42And then, ladies and gentlemen, I go to the first King of the Ring in Dayton, Ohio.
44:50And I guarantee you, you listen to that broadcast.
44:53I carried the broadcast from ringside.
44:59And then did you ever wonder where old JR went to?
45:03Why isn't JR doing play-by-play anymore?
45:06Let me tell you why.
45:09Because the egotistical owner of the World Wrestling Federation,
45:14and you know what I'm talking about.
45:18I'm talking about Vince McMahon couldn't stand the competition.
45:23Why is he doing this?
45:25This is rather unfortunate.
45:27So JR disappeared.
45:31And then on Super Bowl Sunday in 1994,
45:35I woke up with an affliction called Bell's Palsy.
45:39And my entire left side of my face looked like I had a stroke.
45:43You think I like that?
45:44You think I like that my left eye doesn't open all the way because I got sick?
45:49Let me tell you how warm-hearted Mr. McMahon is.
45:53Mr. McMahon called me into his office on February the 11th, 1994.
46:00And he fired my ass.
46:06So I get back in my car, and I'm driving to my home in that overpriced hellhole,
46:12Connecticut, and I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to tell my wife and
46:19my two little girls that their daddy had just got fired.
46:23And so then, remember when McMahon got indicted?
46:30Remember when McMahon got indicted?
46:34They needed somebody to come back and do raw.
46:36They called OJR, and then they let me go again.
46:41So finally, they called me back, hired me back for
46:4450 cents on the dollar to come back and work in a front office.
46:49Do you think that all these guys leaving the WWF was an accident?
46:54Hell, no, it's not.
46:55Do you think all these guys coming here was an accident?
47:01Absolutely not.
47:03I've been very busy.
47:04And right now, I want to bring back one of your favorites.
47:09He's the bad guy, Razor Ramon.
47:12Razor Ramon.
47:21And Hershey Parker in explodes.
47:25Here he comes.
47:32The bad guy, Razor Ramon.
47:38Wait a minute.
47:38Wait, King, that's, that's not the original.
47:47I think it's- How do you like that, WWF?
47:51How do you like Razor Ramon?
47:54How do you like that, big man?
47:56It's like he's a little bigger than the last time I saw him.
47:58What is JR trying to do?
48:05Is he trying to embarrass the World Wrestling Federation?
48:09Razor, how's it feel to be back in the WWF?
48:13Boy, you're back.
48:14Chico, take a look at the bad guy, man.
48:22Wait a second, Savio Vega hits the ring.
48:27Wow. What's going on?
48:28What is it?
