00:00:30Yes, ladies and gentlemen, from New York City, what is going to happen here come ladies and

00:00:42gentlemen, a tag team combination that really made a big splash at shotgun Saturday night

00:00:50as well as WWF superstars.

00:00:53Yes.

00:00:53The new black Jack.

00:01:05Whoa, look out.

00:01:06Here we go.

00:01:09Black Jack Bradshaw, black Jack Wyndham going at it with the Godwin family on the

00:01:16inside on the outside as well.

00:01:18And Oh, and then a ring post.

00:01:20Look out.

00:01:20Finneas now.

00:01:24And that's Bradshaw trying to get back to his feet and finish.

00:01:27It's not going to help him down into the steps.

00:01:30Well, the black Jacks came out here like gangbusters, but all of a sudden these

00:01:32hillbillies are taking it to them.

00:01:39And black Jack Wyndham having his problems down, banging up a little bit.

00:01:43And well, he's not about to get any sympathy here.

00:01:45I can tell you that.

00:01:47From the Godwin family, they mean business that God was in a tag match.

00:01:57Not long ago with the, with the combination of the headbangers.

00:02:02And of course that was where the black Jacks made their presence.

00:02:06Tonight.

00:02:06Ladies and gentlemen, right here on raw, we've got a huge surprise for you.

00:02:10I made a great big surprise.

00:02:13In addition to which of course, as we stated earlier on, the Undertaker goes

00:02:18one on one with the leader of the nation of domination for Ruth, what a matchup

00:02:22that's going to be here tonight on raw plus a very special wrestling contest.

00:02:28Yes.

00:02:29With Marlena against Sonny.

00:02:31No telling what's going to happen.

00:02:34You said that right, McMahon.

00:02:35And you failed to mention once again.

00:02:36And yeah, I think you tried to cut me off while ago that those morons from ECW

00:02:40extreme championship wrestling is going to, are going to be here live tonight.

00:02:45And we're just going to see if they can put their money where their mouth is.

00:02:48Well, a lot of the extreme championship wrestling fans have inundated this arena.

00:02:52Indeed.

00:02:53Ladies and gentlemen, where it all started raw back in January 11 of 1993.

00:03:00Forearm smash there, black Jack Bradshaw in control and Phineas bites the

00:03:04duster, at least the turnbuckle, boom and another forearm.

00:03:08Come on.

00:03:09Black Jack's bursting on the scene here over the weekend and having a

00:03:13go here with the Godwin family.

00:03:18Black Jack Bradshaw and black Jack Wyndham.

00:03:26And dropping the big elbow to nobody there.

00:03:29Phineas, not exactly the brains of the Godwin outfit.

00:03:32Nonetheless, is there brains of the Godwin outfit?

00:03:34Of course.

00:03:35Of course.

00:03:35And, uh, there's the brains boot right there.

00:03:38Henry coming out.

00:03:40You know, if brains were bacon, these guys would be sizzling.

00:03:43Sizzling.

00:03:44Yeah.

00:03:45Oh my goodness.

00:03:46Well, a double clothesline in control.

00:03:47Now the Godwin family, here we go.

00:03:49A quick cover and can't quite put him away.

00:03:52Henry Godwin, along with Phineas, and you're not going to see a lot of

00:03:57scientific wrestling on their part, but a whole lot of brawling.

00:04:00They know how to scuffle, so to speak.

00:04:03And they certainly know how to slop as well.

00:04:05Uh oh.

00:04:05To the buckle.

00:04:06Look out.

00:04:07Yeah.

00:04:07He dropped actually down.

00:04:10And big old Henry Godwin is literally throwing his weight around.

00:04:16Big old Henry Godwin's like a fish out of water here in New York city.

00:04:18And he, he don't know what it's so cold up here in New York.

00:04:22Phineas, his tooth was chattering today.

00:04:24His tooth.

00:04:26Come on.

00:04:26There you go.

00:04:27Whoa.

00:04:28And yeah, look at this.

00:04:29Oh no.

00:04:30From behind and Henry Godwin goes to the outside and Phineas takes exception.

00:04:36Look out.

00:04:37And oh, what a right hand on the side of the jaw.

00:04:41Blackjack wind up.

00:04:45Oh, here we go with a cover and a count and almost a count of three there.

00:04:49Come on, ref.

00:04:51These hillbillies out of here starting to smell up the whole Manhattan center.

00:04:54And there was talk that the Godwins earlier on route duck hunting in central

00:04:57park.

00:04:58Oh, that's one to the head.

00:05:00Come on, ref.

00:05:00Let's try to get some control on a night where anything can happen.

00:05:04Yeah.

00:05:04You might as well forget a lot.

00:05:06And celebrities on hand.

00:05:07I believe that's a Ken Shamrock from the UFC.

00:05:16Ken Shamrock, the ultimate fighting champion.

00:05:19Well, in any event, we've got a number of celebrities on hand in New York

00:05:23city and a hard right hand there.

00:05:25Blackjack Wyndham hammering away.

00:05:28I'm telling you, I can't believe Ken Shamrock is the guy loves me.

00:05:31McMahon.

00:05:31He talks about me all the time.

00:05:32Does we go way back?

00:05:34Where's he?

00:05:34I can't see where he's sitting.

00:05:36Ken, where are you?

00:05:38You and Ken Shamrock go way back.

00:05:40We're big buddies.

00:05:41Is that right?

00:05:42Oh yeah.

00:05:43And again, pouring on the forearms here.

00:05:46Blackjack Bradshaw.

00:05:48You know, ABC network said Ken Shamrock was the world's most dangerous man.

00:05:52So it's just natural.

00:05:53He and I would hang out together.

00:05:54Is that right?

00:05:55Yeah.

00:05:55Oh, and a boot to the side of the head.

00:05:58The Godwin family against the new blackjacks and Henry Godwin.

00:06:03Oh, turning into his man.

00:06:06Nicely done.

00:06:09And blackjack Wyndham is looking to make the tag and likewise.

00:06:14So as Henry Godwin, we are live.

00:06:15Ladies and gentlemen, New York city, the Manhattan center, where Monday

00:06:19night raw all started back in the 93 of January and look out.

00:06:24Here we go.

00:06:25Oh, Phineas hammering away.

00:06:27Phineas throwing those right hands and catches blackjack Wyndham.

00:06:32And oh, elbow to the sternum area.

00:06:35And look at this blackjack.

00:06:37Wyndham gets a little bit of the same.

00:06:39Come on, rep.

00:06:39Do your job in there.

00:06:40Sleeper hold.

00:06:41And that could do it.

00:06:42You're not kidding.

00:06:43When he gets his armpits up around your nose, you could be put out instantly.

00:06:49A devastating maneuver.

00:06:53Has he got it?

00:06:54There's a cover and wait a minute.

00:06:57His foot there was on the bottom rope and the official didn't see it.

00:07:01I didn't either.

00:07:03You want, I didn't see anything.

00:07:04They might have a replay of it.

00:07:06The blackjack's apparently victorious on a bad way.

00:07:09Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:07:10The official.

00:07:10What's this guy?

00:07:11There's another official in trying to straighten things out.

00:07:17And the Godwin's obviously are taking exception to.

00:07:20Come on guys.

00:07:21Don't worry about it.

00:07:22You got beat.

00:07:23You know what they say back in bidders, Arkansas referees decision is final.

00:07:27Unfortunately, it looks like this referee is not going to change his mind.

00:07:31Nonetheless, that was blatantly, at least from our vantage point, a bad call.

00:07:35Too bad.

00:07:36You know what they say back in bidders.

00:07:37Don't you?

00:07:37Maneuver happens.

00:07:41Wait, what are they going to do now?

00:07:49That's going to cost him a suspension.

00:07:53He's become you with this partisan crowd here, ladies and gentlemen.

00:08:00Yes.

00:08:00ECW fans have jammed back the Manhattan center.

00:08:03And wait a minute.

00:08:10There's a ring attendant.

00:08:16Your challenge has been accepted.

00:08:23Oh, what did I tell you, McMahon?

00:08:31Huh?

00:08:33Go ahead.

00:08:34Yeah.

00:08:34Go ahead.

00:08:34You bunch of morons.

00:08:37And the King's answer has been challenged.

00:08:40There's no telling what we're going to see in the house.

00:08:43That's Paulie in there.

00:08:44Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to have all kinds of action.

00:08:47No doubt about that.

00:08:50Well, let's see some of it.

00:08:54Stay with us.

00:08:54Ladies and gentlemen, we'll be right back with more.

00:08:56Go ahead.

00:08:57Come on.

00:09:03On the outside, all kinds of happenings going on as there always is.

00:09:07And on the inside, there he is.

00:09:09Paulie in the ring, ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of extreme championship

00:09:17wrestling, I give to you from the full blooded Italians, little Guido.

00:09:30Little Guido McMahon, huh?

00:09:31Whoa, boy.

00:09:32He's scary looking.

00:09:33And I think it's time to hit the music of little Guido's opponent.

00:09:47This promises to be a little bit different, ladies and gentlemen.

00:09:49We don't know what's going to happen here.

00:10:02Well, I tell you, McMahon, it's a freak show.

00:10:17Wait a minute because we're going to get a word here from-

00:10:26Big Steve and

00:10:29Cool from the Blue World Order,

00:10:36brought to you by the Blue World

00:10:42EWO, EWO, EWO!

00:10:44From the Blue World Order,

00:10:46brought to you by Extreme Championship Wrestling.

00:10:50EWO, EWO, EWO!

00:10:52Jerry The King Lawler,

00:10:56on behalf of the ECW

00:11:00and the Blue World Order,

00:11:04we have only three words for you.

00:11:06Uh-oh.

00:11:07We're taking over!

00:11:10Hey!

00:11:11Are you invited him, King?

00:11:11Burger King, man.

00:11:13Uh-oh.

00:11:14Say hello to the blue guy!

00:11:19Say hello to the fat guy.

00:11:21Ha ha, look at that!

00:11:22Little burrito against Big Stevie Cool.

00:11:25Action underway here.

00:11:27The BWO, and tell us what exactly is the Blue World Order?

00:11:32The Blue World Order, and you can call me Paul,

00:11:34you can call me Jerry,

00:11:36you can call me Jerry,

00:11:37you can call me Paul, and you're welcome, Mr. McMahon.

00:11:42All you have to do is call me the man on behalf of ECW.

00:11:46We're looking, Jerry Lawler.

00:11:48It doesn't take an educated person to figure that out.

00:11:51The Blue World Order is a revolutionary concept

00:11:54in wrestling today.

00:11:56Is that right?

00:11:56That is correct.

00:11:57It's another ECW rip-off.

00:11:59Of what?

00:12:00Oh!

00:12:01And a sidewalk slam, nicely done.

00:12:02Who and what are we ripping off?

00:12:05Give me a break.

00:12:06Certainly this has nothing at all to do

00:12:08with the clothing line of NWO.

00:12:09Okay, who's this?

00:12:11Who that is, is the ECW heavyweight champion of the world,

00:12:17the David Koresh of wrestling himself, Raven.

00:12:21Oh, wait a minute, it's ball package, there we go!

00:12:23Goes to count of three.

00:12:25And a drop kick by Little Burrito.

00:12:28And another one, and Stevie Ray to the outside.

00:12:30Stevie Cool, Big Stevie Cool.

00:12:32Hey, McMahon, I gotta tell you something.

00:12:35You impress me as an announcer.

00:12:38If this WWF thing does not work out for you,

00:12:41we could actually give you a job in ECW.

00:12:44Thank you, I appreciate that.

00:12:45Yeah, I've seen some of your shows.

00:12:46You need an announcer.

00:12:48Standing by right now, ladies and gentlemen,

00:12:49so I'm told, is the most bizarre one.

00:12:52We have Goldust.

00:12:54What do you think thus far of the ECW action?

00:12:58Well, as far as I'm concerned,

00:12:59I'm the premier here in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:13:03Everyone else is just B-movies.

00:13:08I see.

00:13:09And almost a count of three there tonight,

00:13:10one-on-one against Savio Vega.

00:13:12Any comment there?

00:13:16We're having some technical difficulties, I believe,

00:13:18with Mr. Goldust nonetheless.

00:13:19Here we go, to the buckle.

00:13:21We're having some technical difficulties

00:13:22in the ring right now.

00:13:24Hey, do you mind if I actually say

00:13:25something nice about Goldust?

00:13:26Go right ahead.

00:13:28I mean, I don't know if you want an endorsement from ECW,

00:13:30but I'll tell you this.

00:13:31I don't care homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual.

00:13:35If Marlena comes along with the package,

00:13:37I'd go home with him, too.

00:13:39And almost a count of three.

00:13:40Again, Goldust standing by.

00:13:41And if you would give us some sort of update

00:13:43on Marlena in terms of her ribs,

00:13:46because she's set for action, so to speak,

00:13:50and the arm wrestling event with Sonny.

00:13:51What about Marlena?

00:13:53Marlena's here to do her job 110%.

00:13:57That's why she came.

00:13:59She's not all up to expectations,

00:14:03but let me just...

00:14:05I'm here to watch her and make sure

00:14:06that lunatic woman, that lunatic man,

00:14:10whatever it was, that it doesn't interfere.

00:14:13I'm here, Goldust.

00:14:15Thank you very much.

00:14:16He's a fine one to call somebody it.

00:14:19Goldust to it!

00:14:21Another near fall.

00:14:22I know you had trouble hearing him over the great crowd

00:14:24that loves ECW here at the Manhattan Center,

00:14:28but what Goldust said, Vince,

00:14:30was he is the biggest fan of ECW.

00:14:33Yeah.

00:14:35Up next, ladies and gentlemen,

00:14:37La Femme Nikita.

00:14:40You talk about hot action.

00:14:41We're gonna have plenty of it tonight.

00:14:42Oh!

00:14:45And there's plenty of hot action as well.

00:14:47Up next, La Femme Nikita.

00:14:49Ooh, she is boiling.

00:14:51When are you gonna show me something extreme, Paulie?

00:14:53Well, when Little Guido stands up

00:14:55and gets hit in the face with a Stevie kick,

00:14:58I invite you to deny that this is extreme.

00:15:02Oh!

00:15:03Hard cover!

00:15:04McCown, and he gets it!

00:15:06♪♪

00:15:14This crowd, ladies and gentlemen,

00:15:15partisan crowd, no doubt about it.

00:15:18They are ready for more action.

00:15:20Partisan?

00:15:21And we're gonna give them plenty.

00:15:22Partisan?

00:15:23And how about this?

00:15:24An arm-wrestling event and standing by.

00:15:26Oh, my goodness.

00:15:27Oh, yeah.

00:15:28Come here, Marlena.

00:15:29Come here, baby.

00:15:30Oh.

00:15:31Poor Marlena.

00:15:32Her ribs are probably so sore.

00:15:34It's gonna make my job that much easier.

00:15:37I'm gonna come at you hard, baby,

00:15:39and then it'll be your final scene

00:15:41so I can say it was hot.

00:15:45Uh-huh.

00:15:46My money's on Sonny.

00:15:48And Hockey Talk, ladies and gentlemen, on his way.

00:18:30And here she comes.

00:18:31And unfortunately, ladies and gentlemen,

00:18:33Marlena has had some problems as of late from another lady.

00:18:36We're not talking about Sonny.

00:18:38And actually, we're not talking about a lady either.

00:18:40Here we go.

00:18:41Look at this.

00:18:42Yeah, what exactly was that?

00:18:44I mean, look at that choke hold.

00:18:47I'd say her gene pool could use a little more chlorine.

00:18:50And then from there, ladies and gentlemen,

00:18:52the following night.

00:18:53Look at this.

00:18:54Watch this.

00:18:55I mean, watch.

00:18:56Shaken like a rag doll.

00:18:58Look.

00:19:00Wow.

00:19:01Hang on a second.

00:19:02Hold on, hold on.

00:19:05Everybody saw what happened to poor Marlena on Monday night.

00:19:10This big beastly woman took advantage of her, shook her up.

00:19:16She put her in the hospital.

00:19:18She was coughing up blood the entire night.

00:19:20She's all taped up.

00:19:21Her ribs are a mess.

00:19:23So being the sweet, considerate, caring person that I am,

00:19:28honey, I'm going to allow you the option of a forfeit.

00:19:37I don't want to put you through any more punishments.

00:19:40I'll take the cheap victory and allow you to forfeit this match.

00:19:44Now that's big of Sonny.

00:19:47Come on, Sonny, get up here on the table.

00:19:50Huh?

00:19:51Let's see if Marlena's going to accept the forfeit.

00:19:54You know, we're all glad to see that Sonny stopped working

00:19:5940 seconds long enough to come in and be with us tonight.

00:20:02Hey, hey, hey.

00:20:04Well, actually, I think they've cleaned up that area.

00:20:07And a forfeit would probably be very smart for me.

00:20:11I don't feel real good.

00:20:13However- Let me feel you and see.

00:20:15I would get up off of my deathbed before I forfeit to you, honey.

00:20:19Oh, come on.

00:20:20You better go on back to the back where you belong.

00:20:25Come on, girls.

00:20:26Let me go over the rules real quick.

00:20:29The person's hand that goes down on the table to be the loser

00:20:32and the one that's on top will be the winner.

00:20:36Now you get a nice, tight, firm grip.

00:20:39Get up real close to the table and I'll say ready, set, go.

00:20:42And let's get it on.

00:20:44All right, McMahon, who do you like in this one?

00:20:46Ready, set, go.

00:20:49Well, Sonny's not quite ready.

00:20:57McMahon, the grip is real important in one of these things.

00:21:00You got to make sure the grip is exactly right.

00:21:02Come on, girls.

00:21:03Come on, honky-tonk.

00:21:05Now get back on the table and get a nice, tight, firm grip.

00:21:11Yeah.

00:21:12You ready?

00:21:14Well, that's a nice grip there.

00:21:16Set, go.

00:21:19Hang on, honky.

00:21:20I got to get a little warmed up.

00:21:22I would suggest that she's plenty warm by now.

00:21:25I thought you did that on the street, Sonny.

00:21:27Come on.

00:21:28Sonny, you're already warmed up.

00:21:30Now get on this table.

00:21:31She's getting me warmed up.

00:21:34Let's go.

00:21:41What about those shorts Sonny's got on?

00:21:44Ready, set, go.

00:21:47This is it.

00:21:48This is it.

00:21:49What?

00:21:50No.

00:21:51Wait a minute.

00:21:54Marlena, if you pull out of there one more time, you're disqualified.

00:21:58There you go.

00:21:59Oh, please.

00:22:00Tell her.

00:22:01Talk about someone who's partisan.

00:22:04Look at my man, Ken Shamrock.

00:22:09He's loving this.

00:22:10Last chance, girls.

00:22:13Raise anybody's eyebrows.

00:22:16Nice, tight grip.

00:22:19Ready, set.

00:22:22Here we go.

00:22:23Go.

00:22:24This is it.

00:22:25Whoa.

00:22:26Come on, Sonny.

00:22:27Come on, Sonny.

00:22:28Pull.

00:22:29Come on, Sonny.

00:22:30Pull hard.

00:22:31Look at Sonny's bicep.

00:22:32Whoa.

00:22:33Pull, pull, pull, Sonny.

00:22:34Yeah, yeah.

00:22:35Pull hard.

00:22:36That's it.

00:22:37That's it.

00:22:38Hold on, Sonny.

00:22:39Hold on.

00:22:40Hold on.

00:22:41You better push Marlena.

00:22:42You're finished.

00:22:43Go, Sonny.

00:22:44Go.

00:22:45Go.

00:22:46Go, Sonny.

00:22:47Yes.

00:22:48Yes.

00:22:49Go, Sonny.

00:22:50That's it.

00:22:51That's it.

00:22:52Come on, Sonny.

00:22:53Don't.

00:22:54Come on, Sonny.

00:22:55Yeah.

00:22:56Hold on tight.

00:22:57Hold on.

00:22:58Yeah.

00:22:59Yeah.

00:23:00Marlena.

00:23:01Sonny, hold.

00:23:03No, no, no.

00:23:04Oh.

00:23:05What?

00:23:06No, fucking bitch.

00:23:07No, fucking bitch.

00:23:08Look, I think Marlena took a powder.

00:23:09Get her out of there.

00:23:10I mean, we're talking bad ribs and all, and Marlena, wait a minute.

00:23:21What is Savio Vega doing out here?

00:23:23Uh-oh.

00:23:24You got some problems.

00:23:25The nation of domination coming out here.

00:23:26Oh, wait a minute.

00:23:27There's Goldust.

00:23:28Goldust, who set the lock up with Savio.

00:23:29Oh, my God.

00:23:31They're right here, and look at this.

00:23:34Goldust.

00:23:35Goldust all over Savio Vega.

00:23:38Look out.

00:23:39He has the table.

00:23:41Look out.

00:23:42Oh.

00:23:43Come on, referee.

00:23:44Savio Vega, scheduled lock up with Goldust.

00:23:47What a matchup this is gonna be.

00:23:50Stay with us ladies.

00:23:53Stay with us.

00:23:54to lock up with Goldust, what a matchup this is gonna be.

00:23:59Stay with us, ladies and gentlemen.

00:24:00More Raw continues with The Undertaker.

00:24:03Stay with us.

00:24:07We're back with more Raw, ladies and gentlemen.

00:24:09Moments ago, this is what we saw with Marlena.

00:24:12And look at that, Sonny throwing that powder right in Marlena's eyes.

00:24:17And the match ensuing right after that.

00:24:18And of course, yes, we are live from New York City, Manhattan Center,

00:24:22where Monday Night Raw started.

00:24:23Savio Vega from the Nation of Domination going one-on-one with Goldust.

00:24:29Yeah, and at least finally, we got some WWF guys out here.

00:24:31I didn't think I'd ever gonna see any tonight.

00:24:34We are joined as well by Miguel Perez, ladies and gentlemen.

00:24:38And Miguel Perez out here watching the action and

00:24:42from Puerto Rico, not exactly proud of your countryman, Savio Vega.

00:24:47Yeah, that's right.

00:24:48I don't know what happened to him.

00:24:49I've been looking and follow him all the time before we be proud of him or

00:24:56what he do, but now I don't know what's wrong with him.

00:24:59Well, he joined the Nation of Domination and

00:25:01he turned his back on his tag team partner, Madison Square.

00:25:04Here we go, two and a kick out by Goldust.

00:25:07Ahmed Johnson, ladies and gentlemen, the former tag team partner of Savio Vega,

00:25:11who will attempt to settle his score in an upcoming matchup in Madison Square Garden.

00:25:16And it was in the garden where Savio, I suppose,

00:25:20showed his true colors as Crush looks on of the Nation of Domination.

00:25:28What do the fans back in Puerto Rico think of Savio Vega now?

00:25:32Well, like I said before, everybody feel proud of him before.

00:25:37But now it's a shame because everybody give 100%

00:25:43of the support of Savio Vega because he's the Puerto Rican.

00:25:50But now he say he's no more longer Puerto Rican.

00:25:53I can't believe that.

00:25:56Would you want to say something in Spanish to your countrymen who are watching this?

00:25:59Yeah, that's right, excuse me for a second.

00:26:01I want to say hello to all the Latin American fans in Puerto Rico especially.

00:26:07Thank you very much for all the support you had given Savio Vega.

00:26:11But now you see what he's doing.

00:26:14But I'm going to be behind that.

00:26:15Long live Puerto Rico and long live Latin America.

00:26:21Nothing like the World Wrestling Federation live, ladies and gentlemen.

00:26:24No doubt about it.

00:26:25We're live tonight.

00:26:26We come to you live as the week continues.

00:26:30Yes, we're talking about Saturday.

00:26:31This coming Saturday afternoon in Alexandria, Louisiana.

00:26:35My goodness.

00:26:37Action outside the ring.

00:26:38Insider continuing on this coming Sunday, ladies and gentlemen.

00:26:42In Tyler, Texas at the Oil Palace live World Wrestling Federation action.

00:26:47And then on one week from this Friday, Buffalo, New York,

00:26:51the Marine Midland Arena, brand new arena.

00:26:54We'll see live WWF action as well.

00:26:57Notwithstanding, one week from this Saturday in Cleveland at the Gond.

00:27:03And one week from this Sunday since we're at it, Springfield, Massachusetts.

00:27:07Get set, here comes the World Wrestling Federation.

00:27:10That's right, the World Wrestling Federation is everywhere, McMahon.

00:27:13Where is ECW, huh?

00:27:15Well, they're here right now.

00:27:16Yeah, they're here, big deal.

00:27:18And Goldust going to work on Savio, by the way, in two weeks' time,

00:27:22live from Worcester, Massachusetts.

00:27:27At the Centrum, Monday Night Raw.

00:27:30That's two weeks from tonight, live from Worcester, Mass.

00:27:34You know, Goldust is in a world of trouble here.

00:27:36I thought he was a little bit smarter than to come out here, knowing that,

00:27:41I mean, I guess he thought Savio was gonna be out here by himself when he came out here.

00:27:44He's gotta know that anywhere any member of the nation of domination is,

00:27:47the rest of the nation is gonna be there.

00:27:48Look at, look at around ringside now.

00:27:50You have, how many, count them, one, two, three, four, five, six.

00:27:54Yeah, I mean, you got the entire nation practically.

00:27:57By the way, ladies and gentlemen, notwithstanding, being outnumbered,

00:28:01don't forget tonight, a huge surprise coming up very shortly.

00:28:05A real big surprise tonight for everyone who's watching Monday Night Raw.

00:28:14Underneath the clothesline, from the other side, underneath another one.

00:28:16Goldust and Savio, here we go.

00:28:18Right in a little high with two, and that's all he can get.

00:28:20Savio sliding, spinning heel kick right into the chops.

00:28:26And Savio Vega, rather than giving a salute, should be covering someone out there.

00:28:30And here he goes, for the three count, and no, a kickout by Goldust.

00:28:36Savio trying to, well, a little boastful, wouldn't you say, Miguel?

00:28:39I can't believe Savio Vega.

00:28:42He let down all the Puerto Rican and the Latino people.

00:28:45I think he let everybody down.

00:28:46Yeah.

00:28:50But they say there is strength in numbers,

00:28:52and perhaps things were not going all that well for Savio Vega,

00:28:55and he perhaps feels a little more secure around this nation of domination.

00:28:59Yeah, because only seven people right now know him.

00:29:06Seven and one, that's not bad odds.

00:29:09Would you say so?

00:29:11So much for any degree of fairness.

00:29:14Goldust getting right in the thick of things,

00:29:17right after the encounter with Sonny and Marlena.

00:29:22And had it not been for that powder thrown,

00:29:24my goodness, into Marlena's face, Sonny was going down.

00:29:27But what's the deal with Sonny out here now?

00:29:29All of a sudden, she's all chummy with the nation.

00:29:31Well, you will recall it was Sonny who brought Farouk to the World Wrestling Federation.

00:29:35Yeah, but I thought they were Splitsville.

00:29:38Like his head.

00:29:39No telling who Sonny's going to be around these days.

00:29:48A lot of fans would like to be right there next to her, I can tell you that.

00:29:51The queen of cyberspace.

00:29:53She's been all over everything as of late.

00:29:57Well, I'll tell you, I'm glad to see Sonny out here.

00:29:58And I never thought I'd say I'd be glad to see The Undertaker.

00:30:01But tonight, with all of these ECW idiots here,

00:30:03I'm even going to be glad to see The Undertaker out here.

00:30:06The Undertaker meets the leader of the nation.

00:30:07Oh!

00:30:09Wow!

00:30:10Undertaker against Farouk.

00:30:12Coming up, however, right now, Savio is looking for some help.

00:30:23Look at Sonny.

00:30:24He's going nuts over there.

00:30:27Back on his feet for the ride.

00:30:28Goldust now, and Savio, oh, and another cut.

00:30:31Wow!

00:30:35Oh!

00:30:37And another one.

00:30:38Goldust has taken it to Savio Vega.

00:30:41Against all odds, Goldust here, ladies and gentlemen,

00:30:44at the Manhattan Center, live in New York City.

00:30:46And he is hammering away on Savio Vega.

00:30:54Vega scooped and slapped.

00:30:58And again, and there's-

00:31:00Yeah, hey, there's Ken Shamrock again.

00:31:01You know what, McMahon?

00:31:02I'm going to get a microphone.

00:31:03I'm going to go over there and talk to him in just a few minutes.

00:31:05As soon as this match is over, I want to get an interview with the world's most dangerous man.

00:31:09Ow!

00:31:12And Goldust might be considerably less dangerous after that maneuver.

00:31:15Here we go from the top.

00:31:16Can he get it?

00:31:17Suplex coming.

00:31:18Oh, look at it.

00:31:19Uh-oh.

00:31:19No, Goldust retaliating.

00:31:21Shots to the ribs, working to the body.

00:31:23Headbutt.

00:31:24Another headbutt.

00:31:25And Savio Vega-

00:31:26Well, whatever that was, if it works.

00:31:30Goldust trying to keep his opponents off balance,

00:31:33but it's Goldust who, at this moment, is trying to recoup.

00:31:38I think I'd be recouping, too, if I just kissed some man.

00:31:41Oh!

00:31:43And Savio Vega trying to catch Goldust, but Goldust didn't fall for it.

00:31:52A huge surprise coming up.

00:31:54Uh-oh.

00:31:55That was a surprise for Goldust.

00:31:57What happened?

00:31:58What happened?

00:31:58You saw what happened.

00:31:59Oh, come on.

00:32:01Goldust out there with Crush.

00:32:03Oh!

00:32:04Goldust nailing Crush.

00:32:06And right back in.

00:32:07He better stay out of harm's way.

00:32:09Oh, no!

00:32:09And a glancing blow.

00:32:13You know what, McMahon?

00:32:14Goldust is really lucky in a way.

00:32:15He's lucky that Clarence Mason is not here tonight,

00:32:18because what he just did to Crush was assault and battery.

00:32:21Or at least assault.

00:32:24Goldust.

00:32:28Against the odds.

00:32:29Goldust hammering away against Savio Vega.

00:32:32Oh!

00:32:35And Goldust taking another swing at another member of the

00:32:39Nation of Better Nation.

00:32:40And look at this!

00:32:41What did he expect?

00:32:42Oh, come on.

00:32:44This is almost like gang warfare.

00:32:46This is ridiculous.

00:32:47Well, I gotta blame Goldust on this.

00:32:49He better-

00:32:50Hey, wait a minute.

00:32:50Who's this?

00:32:51Miguel Perez!

00:32:52Miguel Perez is-

00:32:54Uh-oh, he came in and went right back out.

00:32:56He's coming right back in.

00:33:00Hey, Savio, look out!

00:33:01And look at that!

00:33:02From the top, Miguel Perez!

00:33:04Dropkick!

00:33:05What is he doing, McMahon?

00:33:07And another one!

00:33:08Savio over the top, up to the outside!

00:33:12Goldust hammered by Perez as well.

00:33:15Oh, no!

00:33:15Goldust and Perez trying to team up a bit.

00:33:22And it seems as though the Nation of Domination

00:33:26is a little dysfunctional.

00:33:31What's with this Perez guy?

00:33:33I guess Goldust gets the victory as a result of a disqualification.

00:33:41Uh-oh, this does not look good.

00:33:43Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this bout,

00:33:45as a result of a disqualification, Goldust!

00:33:52A huge surprise, ladies and gentlemen, coming up.

00:33:56And I'm going to talk to my good friend, Ken Shamrock, too.

00:33:59Find me a microphone.

00:33:59I want to go over there and talk to him.

00:34:01Oh, I can't wait for that.

00:34:02By the way, ladies and gentlemen, next week,

00:34:04we will come to you from Berlin.

00:34:05Yes, we're talking about the WWF European Championship

00:34:09from Berlin, Germany.

00:34:10It truly is the World Wrestling Federation,

00:34:13and we'll be right back.

00:34:14Stay with us.

00:34:17We're back, ladies and gentlemen.

00:34:18You're looking at a Raw flashback.

00:34:21Of course, it all started in January of 1993,

00:34:23here at the Manhattan Center.

00:34:24We take you back down to an interview with Jerry DeKingloff.

00:34:26You always look like an unmade bid.

00:34:28Let me ask you about this jacket here.

00:34:29What happened?

00:34:30The guy at the carnival couldn't guess your weight.

00:34:32I want you to just do a few bars of that world famous,

00:34:37to the song that you made famous all over the world.

00:34:41Tiptoe through the tulips, just a couple of bars, okay?

00:34:44That's enough.

00:34:45That's enough right there.

00:34:47That was the late Tiny Tim, ladies and gentlemen.

00:34:51And Jerry DeKingloff, as promised.

00:34:53We are in New York City,

00:34:55and there are a lot of celebrities that come out

00:34:58when the King is in town.

00:35:00And I have the pleasure of introducing everybody

00:35:02to one right now.

00:35:03A very big celebrity, I might add.

00:35:05A man who ABC Network called

00:35:07the world's most dangerous man.

00:35:10Are any of you morons here in New York

00:35:12familiar with the Ultimate Fighting Championship?

00:35:17Yeah, yeah.

00:35:19Well, I want to take the pleasure to introduce

00:35:22a very good friend of mine.

00:35:23We go way back, way back.

00:35:26Mr. Ken Shamrock, the Ultimate Fighting Champion.

00:35:32Tremendous athlete, no question about that.

00:35:34Very controversial as well.

00:35:36Ken, it's great to see you again.

00:35:39I want to tell you just a little bit about our background.

00:35:44With my martial art technique

00:35:46that I taught to Ken over the years.

00:35:50I know, Ken, that it's helped you win a lot of matches.

00:35:53Helped you become the Ultimate Fighting Champion

00:35:55that you are.

00:35:56And I just want you to tell the people

00:35:58what it was like when you and I used to work out together.

00:36:01Just tell them how it was working out with the King.

00:36:07You're kidding, right?

00:36:08I don't know you.

00:36:11The what?

00:36:11He doesn't know him.

00:36:13I don't know you.

00:36:16Wait a minute, come on now, listen.

00:36:18He never met him.

00:36:19I think you've been bounced around the old octagon

00:36:20a time or two too much.

00:36:21Maybe land on your head.

00:36:23Come on, tell them about how you,

00:36:24I used to teach you those submission holds.

00:36:26You know, remember when I used to make those guys submit?

00:36:28They're tapping out left and right.

00:36:29Tell them about that.

00:36:34You're a liar.

00:36:39What are you trying to embarrass me like this for, Ken?

00:36:41What's the deal here, huh?

00:36:42Imagine that, the King is lying.

00:36:44Tell the people, come on, what's the deal?

00:36:47I don't know you, you're a liar.

00:36:49You're lying.

00:36:52Oh my goodness.

00:36:54Jerry, the King Lawler, look at that egg

00:36:56dripping all over his face, ladies and gentlemen.

00:36:59We've got lots of action coming up right here.

00:37:02Ken Shamrock from the UFC.

00:37:05But right now, a word about the Slammys.

00:37:08The World Wrestling Federation proudly presents

00:37:11the 1997 Slammy Awards,

00:37:13taking place Friday, March 21st of WrestleMania weekend.

00:37:16You can see it on the USA Network.

00:37:18And you can now cast your vote to decide who will win.

00:37:24And man, has this show sucked without ECW or what, huh?

00:37:31In the ring right now, from Buffalo, New York,

00:37:35from Extreme Championship Wrestling, Mikey Whitman.

00:37:43And his opponent, from ECW.

00:38:13The human suplex machine.

00:38:17This is bad.

00:38:34Let me just say this.

00:38:36They're on their best behavior tonight, huh?

00:38:39I was expecting, hey, Paulie.

00:38:41Yes, sir.

00:38:41So this is your Extreme Championship Wrestling right here, huh?

00:38:44This is what you're gonna try to sell on a pay-per-view?

00:38:47This is exactly what we're gonna sell on pay-per-view.

00:38:49Hey, maybe you'd like to get in the ring

00:38:52and show him your fine amateur credentials.

00:38:56Hey, listen, this guy's so small,

00:38:58he probably buys an ant farm for a second home.

00:39:00Let me tell you something, Paulie.

00:39:01Coming from a guy that's 5'10",

00:39:03and that was on top of the territory for 76 years.

00:39:07That is the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard.

00:39:10Is that right?

00:39:10Yeah, I know that.

00:39:11It's exactly right.

00:39:12The most ridiculous thing I've ever heard

00:39:13was you calling this Extreme Championship Wrestling.

00:39:16Hey, why don't you show us what you guys usually do, huh?

00:39:19Why don't you set some of the fans on fire, huh?

00:39:21Why don't you set somebody on fire?

00:39:23Yeah, why don't you hit somebody over the head

00:39:24with a bat wrapped in barbed wire?

00:39:26Because we'd rather do that in pay-per-view

00:39:28on Sunday night, April 13th.

00:39:32Northern Light Suplex.

00:39:34And a kick out.

00:39:36And I know, Mr. McMahon, you would have called that move,

00:39:39and I'm sorry for stepping on your play-by-play.

00:39:42It's no problem.

00:39:43Be my guest.

00:39:44You were invited.

00:39:45You're a guest here.

00:39:46But I noticed the court just-

00:39:47I didn't invite him.

00:39:48I didn't invite Paulie down here to run his fat mouth.

00:39:51Oh, wait a minute.

00:39:52Standing by, ladies and gentlemen,

00:39:53we have the leader of the Nation of Domination.

00:39:55Where's Salto Tazplex?

00:39:57Oh, we will see an action against the Undertaker,

00:40:00Mr. Farooq.

00:40:01One-on-one against the Undertaker.

00:40:04What about tonight?

00:40:05Tonight will be the same thing that it's always been for Farooq.

00:40:08When I get the Undertaker in the ring tonight,

00:40:11just like I've done with everybody else,

00:40:12he'll feel pain.

00:40:14He walks around here like he is immune to pain,

00:40:16but I can guarantee you tonight,

00:40:17the Undertaker will meet an Undertaker.

00:40:19How can one man beat an entire nation?

00:40:22It won't happen.

00:40:23Now, let me take this a step further.

00:40:25Ahmed Johnson, I have told you time and time again,

00:40:28you are not the street.

00:40:29You run in front of your people.

00:40:31You're running scared now.

00:40:32Where are all your people at now?

00:40:33Once you see that you don't have anybody to back you,

00:40:35now you're backing out.

00:40:36Look around me.

00:40:37They'll do whatever I want, whenever I want,

00:40:40and however I want.

00:40:41When I get you at WrestleMania, punk,

00:40:43I promise you, you will feel the wrath of Farooq.

00:40:46Thank you very much for joining us.

00:40:48Farooq, the leader of the nation of domination,

00:40:50in action, ladies and gentlemen.

00:40:52One-on-one against the Undertaker.

00:40:54We stated before there's gonna be a surprise.

00:40:56Well, there's gonna be a big one.

00:40:59And believe me, this is not it, folks.

00:41:02Although I must say,

00:41:03we have seen a lot of tremendous action in this-

00:41:06Look!

00:41:07Look!

00:41:07It's Sabu!

00:41:08Hey, wait a minute.

00:41:09It's Sabu on top-

00:41:10Wait a minute!

00:41:11Oh, no!

00:41:11Oh, my God!

00:41:14Sabu!

00:41:16The most homicidal!

00:41:17The most suicidal!

00:41:19The most genocidal athlete!

00:41:23And Sabu, look out!

00:41:26Sabu!

00:41:30Homicidal!

00:41:31Suicidal!

00:41:33Genocidal!

00:41:34And extreme to the bone!

00:41:36And in the ring now,

00:41:37the human suplex machine, Taz,

00:41:39with the head and arm TazPlex!

00:41:42Get a close-up of this one, WWF!

00:41:46And-

00:41:47Ooh!

00:41:47All right, what kind of suplex was that?

00:41:49That's a head and arm TazPlex!

00:41:51It's the one move in wrestling

00:41:53that even Ken Shamrock fears.

00:41:56Okay.

00:41:58I wouldn't go so far as to say that.

00:41:59Well, you wouldn't, but I would!

00:42:01The Kata Hachime!

00:42:03The Taz Mission!

00:42:04And Joe Alfonso is carrying the flame of Team Taz!

00:42:09Here is your winner, Taz!

00:42:16Coming up next,

00:42:18we have a huge surprise right here on Raw!

00:42:21Is that it?

00:42:29The 1997 WWF Slammy Awards

00:42:32are presented by Full Metal The Album,

00:42:34the official entrance themes

00:42:35of the World Wrestling Federation Superstars.

00:42:39Moments ago, ladies and gentlemen,

00:42:40take a look at this off the top of the arm of Raw.

00:42:44Boy, we are talking about extreme tonight.

00:42:46He's an idiot!

00:42:47Unbelievable, that was Sabu, but right now-

00:42:49Here we go, a big surprise!

00:42:50This tag team contest is scheduled for one fall!

00:42:53Get on the floor and call somebody if you think that is to say!

00:42:55At a total combined weight of 492 pounds,

00:43:00Mosh and Thrasher, the Headbangers!

00:43:04These guys are the big surprise?

00:43:06No, they are a surprising tag team,

00:43:08but that's not exactly a surprise we had in store for everyone.

00:43:12And they are really up and coming, ladies and gentlemen.

00:43:15Mosh and Thrasher, the Headbangers.

00:43:18However-

00:43:19Their opponents, from Chicago, Illinois,

00:43:30at a total combined weight of 575 pounds,

00:43:35Road Warrior Hulk, Road Warrior Animal,

00:43:38The Legion of Doom!

00:43:49L-O-V-E, L-O-V-E, L-O-V-E, L-O-V-E!

00:44:11Unbelievable!

00:44:22Outstanding ovation, ladies and gentlemen,

00:44:24for an American original!

00:44:26Look out!

00:44:27Oh, here they go!

00:44:29I'm afraid the Headbangers-

00:44:30The Headbangers are about-

00:44:31I'm sorry, but the Headbangers are about to get their heads banged!

00:44:35Look at this!

00:44:35Whoa!

00:44:41L-O-V-E, L-O-V-E, L-O-V-E, L-O-V-E!

00:44:47Animal, Hulk, listen to this reception!

00:44:55L-O-V-E, L-O-V-E, L-O-V-E, L-O-V-E, L-O-V-E!

00:45:03And the Headbangers, I don't think,

00:45:05know what quite to make of all this.

00:45:07Well, at least I can say-

00:45:08Whoa!

00:45:08Even those idiot ECW fans know quality when they see it!

00:45:13For the ride now, Mosh and-

00:45:14Oh, Mosh!

00:45:15Down to the canvas.

00:45:18The Headbangers, Mosh and Crusher,

00:45:22against The Legion of Doom,

00:45:25indeed the Road Warriors,

00:45:26back in the World Wrestling Federation,

00:45:28Animal and Hulk, oh my!

00:45:30If you just joined us, ladies and gentlemen,

00:45:32we are live from the Manhattan Center,

00:45:34where Monday Night Raw all began,

00:45:37back in January of 93.

00:45:41And New York City is rocking tonight!

00:45:43Oh man, and all of the idiots,

00:45:46I think most of the idiots in the entire city

00:45:48have turned out here, these ECW fans.

00:45:51Somewhat of a partisan crowd, no doubt about that.

00:45:54Yet to come, ladies and gentlemen,

00:45:56The Undertaker, the phenom of the World Wrestling Federation,

00:45:59one-on-one with Farouk,

00:46:00the leader of the Nation of Domination.

00:46:04And right now-

00:46:06Yeah, don't sell the Headbangers short!

00:46:08No, for sure don't.

00:46:09Nitro sucks! Nitro sucks! Nitro sucks!

00:46:12Whoa!

00:46:13Nitro sucks! Nitro sucks! Nitro sucks!

00:46:16What are they chanting?

00:46:17Nitro sucks! Nitro sucks! Nitro sucks!

00:46:19Again, we're talking New York City.

00:46:22You're not kidding.

00:46:23Where when you tell a guy to take out the garbage,

00:46:25he asks his girlfriend for a date.

00:46:26Stop it.

00:46:27Stop it.

00:46:28It's New York City for you.

00:46:32And again, no censorship here in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:46:36Bring your posters.

00:46:37And whatever it is you have to say,

00:46:38I'm sure we will very clearly-

00:46:40Oh!

00:46:40Pick it up on Mike.

00:46:43Wait a minute.

00:46:44That's how all this ECW stuff got started.

00:46:47I think maybe we should have some censorship here.

00:46:49Oh, really?

00:46:49Yeah.

00:46:50I bet you are for censorship, aren't you?

00:46:52Well, as a matter of fact,

00:46:52there's some things that need to be censored.

00:46:54And as a matter of fact, ECW is one of them.

00:46:56I bet you wanted to censor Ken Shamrock when he, uh-

00:46:59Man, what's the deal with Ken?

00:47:00Yeah, right.

00:47:01Trying to make me look like an idiot.

00:47:03He's never met you before.

00:47:04Oh, come on, McMahon.

00:47:05Yeah, you too.

00:47:05He and I are tight.

00:47:06You teaching him submission maneuvers.

00:47:08Give me a break.

00:47:08Oh, look out!

00:47:09Oh!

00:47:11My head.

00:47:12Oh, covered by Animal.

00:47:13I count it to him.

00:47:14Oh, right there.

00:47:16I like these headbangers.

00:47:17Oh, they're-

00:47:18They're an extraordinary tag team.

00:47:20No question about it.

00:47:20You're not with it though, McMahon.

00:47:22You don't know anything about their kind of music, do you?

00:47:24Nine inch nails.

00:47:26Well, I like some of it.

00:47:26Marilyn Manson.

00:47:28Some of it's fine.

00:47:29Butthole surfers.

00:47:30I beg your pardon?

00:47:31One of the hot groups.

00:47:33Hello?

00:47:38Animal.

00:47:40One-on-one with Mosh and the official trying to ask for the clean break.

00:47:43Animal right back on top of him.

00:47:47They ask for no quarter, no give-

00:47:49Oh my goodness!

00:47:50In the elbow, striking the sternum area.

00:47:51And look out, here comes Hawk.

00:47:56Time for some censorship.

00:48:00Dropkick!

00:48:02And a cover!

00:48:03This one could be overcounted.

00:48:04Oh, look out.

00:48:07And those headbangers coming very close to being disqualified here.

00:48:15Body scissor.

00:48:17Wearing his opponent down.

00:48:18Tell you what, Hawk and Animal better be careful.

00:48:20Old Mosh and Thrasher might just do some stage diving here in a minute.

00:48:24Get out in that Mosh pit.

00:48:26Animal can happen.

00:48:27They wouldn't want to get out in this pit of these idiots out here.

00:48:30And oh!

00:48:31And a right hand by Hawk.

00:48:35Yet to come, ladies and gentlemen.

00:48:37Live tonight.

00:48:37One-on-one.

00:48:38The Undertaker.

00:48:40Against the leader of the nation of domination.

00:48:44Oh, Baruch against The Undertaker.

00:48:51More ECW.

00:48:53More extreme.

00:48:54I think we've seen enough of it.

00:48:55No, we're going to see a little bit more.

00:48:58You invited them.

00:48:59Well, I'm going to tell you.

00:49:00I'm still saying this, McMahon.

00:49:01They're on their best behavior tonight.

00:49:02And where are the tables?

00:49:04They usually stack up about 10 or 15 tables by ringside and crash some poor idiot's head

00:49:08through them.

00:49:09They haven't done that tonight.

00:49:10They haven't set anybody on fire yet tonight.

00:49:18Well, there's no telling what's going to happen tonight.

00:49:20It's still young.

00:49:23Forearms in a chest area.

00:49:24I don't even know why.

00:49:26I don't even know why we're giving up this forum.

00:49:28I don't know why you invited them.

00:49:30You were the one to open your mouth, okay?

00:49:32You invited them.

00:49:33They accepted.

00:49:35You know, he's going to come on here and talk about a pay-per-view.

00:49:39All right, here we go.

00:49:42Thrasher.

00:49:45With Animal.

00:49:46Thrasher set up for the ride.

00:49:48Off the rope end.

00:49:49He's running on that big powerhouse.

00:49:50There's only one place to go and that's down.

00:49:54You know, my man, for years, the Legion of Doom have probably been considered

00:50:00the greatest tag team, maybe in the history of tag team wrestling.

00:50:05And it's a major surprise that they're now back in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:50:08But what a major, major surprise it would be if they were upset tonight.

00:50:14And we may see it.

00:50:17Up for the headbangers.

00:50:18Come on, guys.

00:50:19Unbelievable.

00:50:20The headbangers with an opportunity now.

00:50:22Hawk took that corner post right in the shoulder area.

00:50:25Look out.

00:50:26Whoa.

00:50:26There's some stage diving.

00:50:28And Hawk is in trouble, ladies and gentlemen.

00:50:31He's in big time trouble.

00:50:33The double team effort of the headbangers.

00:50:35And this matchup, as well as Raw, will continue.

00:50:38Stay with us for more action.

00:50:41Welcome back, everyone.

00:50:42We are live from the Manhattan Center where Monday Night Raw began back in 93.

00:50:47And a quicks double feature.

00:50:49Oh, my goodness.

00:50:50Let's take this quicks double feature and take a look at what happened during the break.

00:50:56I'm telling you, McMahon, the headbangers are looking great.

00:50:59And yes, indeed, they have been.

00:51:02And unfortunately, things not looking all that good for the Road Warriors, for the Legion of

00:51:08Doom.

00:51:08Yeah.

00:51:09They came in here probably underestimating their opponents.

00:51:11I doubt that.

00:51:12But, oh, my.

00:51:13Breaking through the double clothesline.

00:51:16And now, if Hawk can just tag in, Animal.

00:51:19By the way, ladies and gentlemen, superstar line.

00:51:21There you see the number dialed, 1-900-737 for WWF.

00:51:25What brought the Legion of Doom back to the World Wrestling Federation?

00:51:28And what effect will it have on WrestleMania XIII?

00:51:30Whoa.

00:51:31Option four, ladies and gentlemen, is the option to dial.

00:51:36Oh, look at this.

00:51:36And a big power slam there by Animal.

00:51:39The superstar line.

00:51:40And obviously, you must be 18 years of age.

00:51:42You have your-

00:51:43Oh, parents.

00:51:44And right now, I think the Headbangers would like to have a little parental permission.

00:51:48Or parental guidance.

00:51:50Oh, Road Warriors.

00:51:52Animal.

00:51:54Look out.

00:51:56Oh, no.

00:51:58Headbanged.

00:52:00Shawn Michaels, back in San Antonio, watching this action.

00:52:04Uh-oh.

00:52:06And what?

00:52:08And I think the Headbangers are going to have a little headbanging.

00:52:13And I think the Headbangers have lost the match as a result of a count-out.

00:52:16I'm not certain.

00:52:17Ladies and gentlemen, the referee's official decision.

00:52:20He rules this bout a double count-out.

00:52:24A double count-out.

00:52:25They were all counted out.

00:52:27I thought the Legion of Doom made it back in.

00:52:29Look at this.

00:52:29Oh, no, wait a minute.

00:52:30Wait a minute.

00:52:30Look at this.

00:52:33I think the Headbangers are going to wish they'd went on back to the-

00:52:35Oh, my gosh.

00:52:36I forgot about it.

00:52:37Whoa.

00:52:39Pull him out of there quick.

00:52:43They have returned.

00:52:44Yes.

00:52:46The Legion of Doom, the Road Warriors, animal and hog back in the World Wrestling Federation

00:52:51and looking for trouble.

00:52:52And there's no doubt they're going to find it real soon.

00:52:57Shawn Michaels undergoing therapy as his wild man, Mark Merrill, ladies and gentlemen.

00:53:03Both men out with really bad knees.

00:53:09Shawn Michaels hopefully not needing the operation.

00:53:12Nonetheless, undergoing therapy.

00:53:15Not so sure we can say the same for wild man, Mark Merrill.

00:53:18We take you right now, ladies and gentlemen, to a Shawn Michaels video.

00:53:23Indeed, so many cards and letters pouring in concerning Shawn Michaels.

00:54:09Even though I realize you have to walk away, no more yesterday.

00:54:40Always were my angels, flying high above.

00:54:48Always looking out for me, angel that I love.

00:54:54Now my dreams are fading, I gauge all the photographs.

00:55:02I've heard too much to look at now, reminders of our past.

00:55:08Tell me you're lying, that you won't go.

00:55:15Look in my eyes and hold me, even though I realize you have to walk away, no more yesterday.

00:55:39New York City, ladies and gentlemen, the new Times Square outside the Manhattan Center live.

00:55:47We're coming to you, ladies and gentlemen.

00:55:48Yes, it's Monday Night Raw.

00:55:50May I speak now, Mr. McMahon?

00:55:53Ladies and gentlemen, in the ring, representing Extreme Championship Wrestling, D-Von Dudley.

00:56:09D-Von Dudley.

00:56:11Ever heard of him?

00:56:13Accompanied by Fula McGillicuddy, the innovator of violence, headed to pay-per-view Sunday

00:56:25night, April 30th.

00:56:27Okay, okay.

00:56:29A man whose actions are extreme and barely legal, Tommy Dreamer.

00:56:38Tommy Dreamer, locking up with D-Von Dudley.

00:56:48Those taped fists.

00:56:50You know what, Paulie?

00:56:52No, I don't know what.

00:56:54I'll tell you what, you should get down on your hands and knees and kiss my royal feet

00:56:58for giving you the opportunity to be out here and constantly plug your pay-per-view.

00:57:03I mean, more people are being exposed to your ECW wrestling in this moment than in the

00:57:09entire history of your whole little drinky-dink company.

00:57:11And that's thanks to the ki-homies of the man sitting next to you.

00:57:15Not to you.

00:57:17As Tommy Dreamer takes D-Von Dudley outside the ring.

00:57:21Oh, good, here we go.

00:57:23And here we go to get extreme.

00:57:25What was that?

00:57:27That's called a weapon, and that's called effective.

00:57:29Right.

00:57:32Yeah, now look at these idiots in the crowd, McMahon.

00:57:34Watch this.

00:57:36That was a bell.

00:57:38What's he got now, huh?

00:57:40A weapon, a cane.

00:57:42That's some wrestling for you.

00:57:44Well, I think we need to be drawing some lines here, ladies and gentlemen.

00:57:48Oh, come on, McMahon.

00:57:50No.

00:57:52This is ECW.

00:57:54Hopefully things aren't going to get out of hand here.

00:57:56Well, hopefully they are.

00:57:58That's what ECW is all about.

00:58:00We're not just wrestling.

00:58:02We're not just exciting.

00:58:04We are extreme.

00:58:06Yes, there's no doubt about that.

00:58:08Oh!

00:58:10And anyone can get extreme.

00:58:12No, not anyone.

00:58:14We're going to have extreme action here, ladies and gentlemen, no doubt,

00:58:16when The Undertaker faces Farouk, the leader of the Nation of...

00:58:18Oh!

00:58:20The leader of the Nation of Domination, coming up.

00:58:22And of course, if you just joined us,

00:58:24the Legion of Doom,

00:58:26back in tag team action

00:58:28here in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:58:30You missed, as well,

00:58:32the special arm wrestling event.

00:58:34Uh-oh, look at this.

00:58:36What's going on with Tommy Dreamer?

00:58:38Oh, they're doing some wrestling, McMahon.

00:58:40Yes, The Undertaker against Farouk.

00:58:42But right now, Tommy Dreamer

00:58:44against D-Von Dudley.

00:58:46And this is a fight of ultimate proportions.

00:58:48As the innovator of violence,

00:58:50Tommy Dreamer,

00:58:52you said anyone can get extreme.

00:58:54I doubt, very seriously,

00:58:56that the court jester sitting next to you

00:58:58could ever be...

00:59:00Oh!

00:59:02Extreme.

00:59:04Hey, let me just tell you this, Paul, dangerously.

00:59:06No, you will never tell me anything.

00:59:08You might not be something,

00:59:10but you'll never tell me anything.

00:59:12For 562 years.

00:59:14And I've never been ashamed to tell anybody

00:59:16that I was a wrestler.

00:59:18You understand that?

00:59:20When I left my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, this morning,

00:59:22to fly to New York City,

00:59:24the mayor of Memphis, Tennessee, Mayor Harrington,

00:59:26was in the airport flying to Kansas City.

00:59:28He looked at me and smiled and said,

00:59:30Hey, King, if you ever need a tag team partner,

00:59:32call me.

00:59:34I've never been ashamed of being a professional wrestler.

00:59:36But right now, when I look at this crap in the ring,

00:59:38and when I look at an idiot like you sitting right there.

00:59:40Now, shut up!

00:59:42Why don't you shut up?

00:59:44And when I look at you, and when I look at this crap,

00:59:46at the ECW,

00:59:48extremely crappy wrestling.

00:59:50I'm ashamed to be associated with it.

00:59:52You're not associated with it.

00:59:54You never will be associated with it.

00:59:56Watch what's going on.

00:59:58Just chill out.

01:00:00This is the last match we're going to have here that is extreme tonight.

01:00:02Thank God. You're welcome.

01:00:04D-Von Dudley, ladies and gentlemen.

01:00:06Freaking clown.

01:00:08In the overalls, D-Von Dudley

01:00:10taking it to Tommy Dreamer.

01:00:12Oh!

01:00:18Go ahead.

01:00:20I've already called the match. I've had it with him.

01:00:22Oh, yeah, right. You sure wouldn't know what to call

01:00:24because you've never been in a wrestling match.

01:00:26You're what I'd call a jock sniffer.

01:00:28You like to be around athletes because you're not one yourself.

01:00:30Only thing athletic about you are your stinking feet.

01:00:32You understand that?

01:00:34And all you do is lynch onto a bunch of so-called athletes

01:00:36and try to make money off of them.

01:00:38You know, being extreme, I have no problem

01:00:40sticking your junk where I'm afraid you did.

01:00:42Oh, yeah. Is that right?

01:00:44That's right. Great comeback.

01:00:46Wait a minute. In any event, ladies and gentlemen...

01:00:48No, wait a minute. I've had it with him.

01:00:50He invited us. You accepted.

01:00:52Please.

01:00:54Standing by right now, ladies and gentlemen, we have...

01:00:56I think The Undertaker...

01:00:58There he is in The Undertaker, ladies and gentlemen.

01:01:00Come on out here, Undertaker.

01:01:02One-on-one with the leader of the nation

01:01:04of domination, Farouk.

01:01:06Any last-minute thoughts?

01:01:10Tonight, the march to Wrestlemania XIII

01:01:14begins with the nation.

01:01:16They will all be laid aside,

01:01:18and the only thing that stands

01:01:20between me and Psycho Sid

01:01:22at Wrestlemania XIII

01:01:24is time.

01:01:26Look at this.

01:01:28Thank you very much. The Undertaker...

01:01:30350 pounds!

01:01:32It's the Sandman!

01:01:34It's the Sandman!

01:01:36The Sandman is in the Manhattan Center!

01:01:40The who?

01:01:42The Sandman!

01:01:44The icon

01:01:46of extreme championship

01:01:48wrestling!

01:01:50And we're about to get hardcore!

01:01:54Yeah!

01:01:56Looks like the Sandman

01:01:58got hardcore, Paulie!

01:02:00What do you think about that idiot now, huh?

01:02:02I don't think anything about it. I love this!

01:02:04I love Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley

01:02:06showing America

01:02:08how extreme DCW

01:02:10can be!

01:02:12Oh!

01:02:14And, uh...

01:02:16It's like things are getting a little bit

01:02:18out of hand.

01:02:20Oh!

01:02:24What do you got to say

01:02:26now, huh? What?

01:02:28I say the same thing I said before.

01:02:30It's crap. It's crap, and you're crap.

01:02:32You understand that?

01:02:34You know, thanks a lot. Thank you for letting me

01:02:36put my faith in you.

01:02:38You and all the rest of your

01:02:40folks, take a hike. You know what?

01:02:42You know what? You have more team owners than anybody

01:02:44ever gave you credit for. Why don't you take a hike?

01:02:46Get out of here!

01:02:52Hey, hey, come on!

01:02:54No, wait a minute!

01:02:56Get over here!

01:02:58Get over here!

01:03:10Germany hasn't seen an event this big

01:03:12since they tore down the Wall.

01:03:14The World Wrestling Federation

01:03:16European Championship.

01:03:18It's from Berlin, Germany. It's RAW.

01:03:20And it's right here

01:03:22next week.

01:03:26We say anything can happen

01:03:28here in the World Wrestling Federation. You all right?

01:03:30Yeah, I'm all right. Sure, and you had to instigate

01:03:32all that, too. I didn't instigate anything, McMahon.

01:03:34You instigated this.

01:03:36Have those goofs back out here again

01:03:38anytime, another personal invitation.

01:03:40And I promise you this, Paul Dangerously,

01:03:42the next time I get within arm's reach

01:03:44of you, I'm going to stick my fist right there

01:03:46in your stinking throat. You understand that?

01:03:48All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's take you back.

01:03:50We're going to show you some of the acts that took place.

01:03:52Jim Ross is going to set the stage

01:03:54for us as to the World Wrestling

01:03:56Federation Championship, specifically

01:03:58the Hitman against Psycho Sid.

01:04:00There will be no

01:04:02wrestling for the new WWF champion.

01:04:04The following night on RAW, Bret Hart will meet

01:04:06a rested 6'9 monster. But before the

01:04:08match could begin, the lunatic, the

01:04:10Jackal Stone Cold Steve Austin struck again.

01:04:12Wait a minute!

01:04:14Steve Austin!

01:04:16Steve Austin has absolutely

01:04:18become obsessed with

01:04:20Bret Hart.

01:04:22Steve Austin is a rabid,

01:04:24he's a rabid animal.

01:04:28What is going on in the match?

01:04:30Look at, look at Psycho Sid!

01:04:32Psycho Sid,

01:04:34oh, oh, Austin just took Sid's knee.

01:04:36Stone Cold Steve Austin

01:04:38just took Psycho Sid's knee

01:04:40and Sid is hurt

01:04:42and Bret Hart and Austin are

01:04:44getting it on here in Music City.

01:04:46Chaos!

01:04:48It's absolute chaos here!

01:04:52Look at that finish Hart!

01:04:54Psycho Sid would not let Stone Cold Steve Austin

01:04:56or the pain of his wounded knee

01:04:58stop him from becoming the master

01:05:00and the ruler of the world.

01:05:02An hour later, Sid entered the arena

01:05:04prepared to meet the Hitman.

01:05:06But this time, the incensed Austin

01:05:08attacked Bret behind the scenes.

01:05:10Bret Hart is ready for war,

01:05:12no doubt about it.

01:05:14And that's exactly what it's going to be.

01:05:16Wait! Oh God! Oh my God!

01:05:18Steve Austin attacking Bret Hart!

01:05:20Steve Austin

01:05:22attacking the champion!

01:05:24Austin attacking the champion

01:05:26right here!

01:05:28Knocking Bret down!

01:05:30Psycho Sid back there!

01:05:32Once again,

01:05:34WWF President Gorilla Monsoon promised

01:05:36the match would go on.

01:05:38Once again, Psycho Sid and Bret Hart

01:05:40entered the arena. This time, the match

01:05:42would go on, with Bret focusing

01:05:44his aggression on Sid's injured knee,

01:05:46trying to get the big man down.

01:05:48The strategy seemed like it was

01:05:50going to work, and Bret would retain

01:05:52the WWF title.

01:05:54Sharpshooter! Sharpshooter!

01:05:56Bret Hart, can he get it on Sid?

01:05:58Bret Hart trying to turn

01:06:00Psycho Sid! Don't let him!

01:06:02Don't let him! It's over!

01:06:04It's over! Bret Hart will win this match

01:06:06right now! Nobody gets out of the sharpshooter!

01:06:08Look at Sid!

01:06:10Look at Sid!

01:06:12Look at the power of Psycho Sid!

01:06:14Look at this! No one has ever broken a sharpshooter!

01:06:16Look at this!

01:06:18Look at Austin!

01:06:20Austin got a chair!

01:06:22Austin hit Bret Hart in the head with a chair, my God!

01:06:26What?!

01:06:28Austin hit Bret Hart

01:06:30right in the face with that steel chair!

01:06:32I don't think

01:06:34the ref saw it!

01:06:36He was down in steel face!

01:06:38I don't think Sid even realized that Austin

01:06:40just gave him an assist!

01:06:42Oh, no!

01:06:44Oh, Sid knows this!

01:06:46He just escaped

01:06:48the sharpshooter, and now he's delivering

01:06:50the Powerbomb!

01:06:52Powerbomb! Powerbomb!

01:06:54Powerbomb!

01:06:56Yeah!

01:06:58Sid has done it!

01:07:00Psycho Sid is once again

01:07:02the WWF Champion!

01:07:04The new

01:07:06WWE Champion,

01:07:08Psycho Sid!

01:07:10Psycho Sid!

01:07:12Unbelievable!

01:07:14Psycho Sid is once again

01:07:16the man! Psycho Sid

01:07:18will meet The Undertaker

01:07:20at WrestleMania 13!

01:07:30Look at this!

01:07:32Psycho Sid, the WWF Champion!

01:07:36Where is he?!

01:07:40Where is he?!

01:07:44Everybody saw, where is he?!

01:07:48Bret Hart left the arena floor

01:07:50in a furious rage!

01:07:52His championship reign a brief and bitter memory

01:07:54all because of Stone Cold Steve Austin!

01:07:56You can see the extent of his rage!

01:07:58You can see the depth of his fury!

01:08:00And you can see

01:08:02what the WWF Championship

01:08:04meant down deep inside

01:08:06to Bret the Hitman Hart!

01:08:08What do you want?! Get the hell out of here!

01:08:10Get that f***ing thing out of here!

01:08:12I said get out of here!

01:08:18Meanwhile,

01:08:20we saw into the future!

01:08:22The future of the WWF

01:08:24Championship!

01:08:26Psycho Sid

01:08:28and The Undertaker will meet at

01:08:30WrestleMania 13!

01:08:32Yes, ladies and gentlemen,

01:08:34The Undertaker against Psycho Sid

01:08:36for the WWF Championship

01:08:38in a match that will set new standards,

01:08:40I'm certain, for intensity.

01:08:42Of course, it comes to you

01:08:44from the Rosemont Horizon,

01:08:46suburban Chicago, notwithstanding

01:08:48a no-holds-barred matchup.

01:08:50Yes, there you have it.

01:08:52The Hitman Bret Hart against Stone Cold

01:08:54Steve Austin.

01:08:56And those two matches and many more,

01:08:58of course, that you're anxiously awaiting as well.

01:09:00Here's the answer to the challenge

01:09:02initiated by Baruch. I'm sure Ahmed Johnson,

01:09:04who was over in Germany as we speak,

01:09:06will respond very favorably to that challenge.

01:09:08Well, I'm sure Ahmed Johnson will.

01:09:10You know why? Because he's obviously stupid.

01:09:12Ahmed Johnson, if you're in Germany,

01:09:14listen to a little word of wisdom

01:09:16from the king.

01:09:18Don't respond.

01:09:20I'm trying to do my good piece

01:09:22for the day.

01:09:24I wish they would, McMahon.

01:09:26I got a little something for them, okay?

01:09:28Standing by right now, ladies and gentlemen,

01:09:30we have Todd Pettengill,

01:09:32and I believe we actually are gonna conduct an interview.

01:09:34Todd?

01:09:36New York, give it up for Ken Shamrock once again!

01:09:38Ultimate fighting champion right here!

01:09:40Ken,

01:09:42you enjoy the action here tonight?

01:09:44Yeah, it's got me standing on my toes here.

01:09:46I tell you, there's a lot of action

01:09:48happening inside and outside the ring.

01:09:50Pretty exciting.

01:09:52All right, now, you got some folks with you.

01:09:54I want to just introduce them if you could.

01:09:56This is my wife, Tina.

01:09:58Right, Tina.

01:10:00That's my better half.

01:10:02Tina has laryngitis, I understand.

01:10:04Tina, can you just say hi?

01:10:06She got it out good.

01:10:08And this is the man that raised me

01:10:10and brought me up

01:10:12and raised me to the man I am today.

01:10:14This is my father, Bob Shamrock.

01:10:16Hi, Bob.

01:10:18My buddy's a great guy. A lot of good action tonight.

01:10:20It's really exciting.

01:10:22Must be proud of this young man, huh?

01:10:24Now, as long as I have a couple quick predictions,

01:10:26WrestleMania,

01:10:28title on the line, Undertaker,

01:10:30Psycho Sid, who do you like?

01:10:32Well, I tell you, it's going to be kind of a toss-up,

01:10:34but I think

01:10:36the Undertaker's got a little more technique

01:10:38and a little more balance.

01:10:40All right, now, how about the submission match?

01:10:42Something I know you know a lot about.

01:10:44Bret the Hitman Hart, Stone Cold Steve Austin.

01:10:46Remember, submission match.

01:10:48Who do you like?

01:10:50Well, I tell you what, Bret Hart, I've seen,

01:10:52he's got a lot of skill, he's quick,

01:10:54but also Stone Cold Steve Austin

01:10:56has got no quit in him,

01:10:58so that's a toss-up.

01:11:00I couldn't pick either one of them.

01:11:02Come on, give me one.

01:11:04I tell you, it's going to be close.

01:11:06It's going to be an exciting match to watch,

01:11:08but I really couldn't pick either one of them.

01:11:10You can't go out on a limb.

01:11:12No, it might break.

01:11:14Who's it going to be? Stone Cold Steve Austin?

01:11:16Yes.

01:11:18The Hitman Bret Hart.

01:11:20Here we go, ladies and gentlemen.

01:11:22The Undertaker about ready to lock in.

01:11:24We are the nation, livin' in color.

01:11:26Don't diss the man,

01:11:28cause we'll bump-brush your mother.

01:11:30Listen to what I'm sayin', it's for real, not playin'.

01:11:32Farouk is the man,

01:11:34so hit your knee the soft way.

01:11:36Power like the man, but quick like the cat.

01:11:38Two and two together,

01:11:40feel your face on the mat.

01:11:42You count the stars while the ref counts three.

01:11:44Hope you like to look at ceilings,

01:11:46cause that's all you're gonna see.

01:11:48We are the nation.

01:11:50Oh, no.

01:11:52We are the nation.

01:11:54Wait a minute, Farouk.

01:11:56That's the world's most dangerous man.

01:11:58Don't even talk to him.

01:12:00Punk him out, Farouk. Punk him out.

01:12:02Yeah, get Shamrock.

01:12:06Oh, no.

01:12:08What they call that

01:12:10ref that fighting you,

01:12:12what is it, UF what?

01:12:14CAT, something like that,

01:12:16ladies and gentlemen, I think we have had just about enough.

01:12:18Let me tell you something.

01:12:20You're in the WWF now,

01:12:22where the cats go to be tigers,

01:12:24and if you think you're a man,

01:12:26why don't you step your ass in that ring with me?

01:12:30Mr. Shamrock is in a different league altogether.

01:12:32Right in front of his wife,

01:12:34and his father.

01:12:36We'll be right back as we continue.

01:12:38Stay with us, ladies and gentlemen.

01:12:40Let me tell you something.

01:12:42All I see here is a bunch of guys

01:12:44running around trying to intimidate people.

01:12:46You don't know how to fight one-on-one.

01:12:48You got your goons all running around

01:12:50trying to be tough.

01:12:52Let me tell you something.

01:12:54A man stands on his own two feet,

01:12:56and you've got two left feet.

01:12:58If this big man wants to put something on the line here,

01:13:00let me tell you something.

01:13:02I'll be willing to step in the ring with you,

01:13:04but you keep coming up.

01:13:06We'll be right back, ladies and gentlemen.

01:13:08Stay with us for more Monday Night Raw.

01:14:26We're back.

01:14:28The Undertaker.

01:14:30About ready to go one-on-one

01:14:32with the leader of the Nation of Domination,

01:14:34Farouk.

01:14:36And the roof is about to blow off

01:14:38for the Undertaker.

01:14:40Oh!

01:14:42Oh!

01:14:44Oh!

01:14:46Oh!

01:14:48Oh!

01:14:50Oh!

01:14:56Oh!

01:14:58Oh!

01:15:00Oh!

01:15:02Oh!

01:15:04Oh!

01:15:06Oh!

01:15:08Thus far, it has been a night

01:15:10of extreme action, all right.

01:15:12And there's no reason

01:15:14to think it's not gonna wind up that way.

01:15:16Oh!

01:15:18Oh!

01:15:20The Undertaker

01:15:22owns the ring.

01:15:24And outside, there he is, Farouk.

01:15:26Farouk, the leader

01:15:28of the Nation of Domination.

01:15:30He better watch himself.

01:15:32Goes out there at ringside as well.

01:15:34Jim Shamrock, they had words

01:15:36before we went to break.

01:15:38Well, if you call him a Farouk again,

01:15:40you better watch yourself.

01:15:54The Undertaker, one-on-one

01:15:56with the World Wrestling

01:15:58Federation champion,

01:16:00Psycho Sid.

01:16:02At WrestleMania,

01:16:04the granddaddy of them all.

01:16:08The grandest,

01:16:10most extravagant pay-per-view

01:16:12the whole year.

01:16:14There's only one WrestleMania.

01:16:20March 23, the date,

01:16:22but we are live as we speak

01:16:24from New York City.

01:16:26And the creatures

01:16:28and the critters

01:16:30coming out of the subway

01:16:32are beginning to shake a little bit.

01:16:34You got that right, McMahon.

01:16:36The creatures in the stands

01:16:38are beginning to shake.

01:16:48Conversation going on

01:16:50with the Nation of Domination.

01:16:54Jan Peck,

01:16:56Manhattan Center.

01:17:00John Fiennes,

01:17:02sold out for a week just live from New York City.

01:17:04This is where Raw originated,

01:17:06ladies and gentlemen, back in January

01:17:08of 93. A little

01:17:10consultation going on.

01:17:12And who knows what we're going to see here in this matchup.

01:17:14Who knows whether or not the

01:17:16extreme guys are going to come back out here.

01:17:18Maybe the blue guys are going to come out here

01:17:20and get you, King. Well, there's a sign right over here

01:17:22that some, I guess the only intelligent

01:17:24person in New York City has.

01:17:26Can you get a shot of that sign right there?

01:17:28Get a shot of it. Come on, cameraman. Right there.

01:17:30What does that say? Extreme

01:17:32chicken wimps. They won't be back

01:17:34out here, McMahon. Believe me.

01:17:36Thanks for your

01:17:38encouragement. Sit down, you morons.

01:17:40All right, here we go. The Undertaker

01:17:42against Farouk. And the Undertaker

01:17:44better have eyes literally in the back of his head here.

01:17:48The Nation of Domination. Well, that's one way

01:17:50to go at it. Just go ahead outside.

01:17:52That's a big mistake by the Undertaker.

01:17:54Look at this. And the Undertaker

01:17:56jamming that hook to the midsection

01:17:58and down to the steel steps.

01:18:00Here we go. And Farouk sacrificing

01:18:02one of his men just to get to the

01:18:04Undertaker. Hard right hand.

01:18:06Undertaker now set out. Into the ropes.

01:18:08Off it. Uh-oh. Roundhouse from the other side.

01:18:10What a clothesline.

01:18:14Well, I see Farouk, he doesn't

01:18:16even give two hoots about the rest of his

01:18:18nation. Like you said, he sacrificed that man

01:18:20with a smile on his face.

01:18:22But it didn't do him any good. Well, his nation

01:18:24would willfully surrender

01:18:26themselves just for him for some reason.

01:18:28Look at this. Whoa!

01:18:30The Undertaker

01:18:32with extraordinary balance.

01:18:36And Farouk beginning to

01:18:38cower.

01:18:40To the buckle. The Undertaker

01:18:42against the leader of the Nation

01:18:44of Domination who is likely gonna get

01:18:46his tonight, ladies and gentlemen, live on Raw.

01:18:48Well, the Undertaker's looking for that

01:18:50all-important momentum to go into WrestleMania

01:18:52and try to take the WWF title

01:18:54from Psycho Sid and he can ill

01:18:56afford a loss here at the hands of the Nation of

01:18:58Domination. I'll agree with that.

01:19:00Over the top to the outside and Farouk

01:19:02Oh no! In some

01:19:04kind of trouble. You don't need to get over

01:19:06there by Ken Shamrock.

01:19:08Telling you, he and I are tight, McMahon.

01:19:10Yeah, right.

01:19:12Taught him his first submission hold.

01:19:14You what? I used to teach him

01:19:16how to choke guys out.

01:19:18Well, that's not getting into

01:19:20choking

01:19:22things about nature.

01:19:24Alright, here we go.

01:19:26Farouk

01:19:28all the way back in.

01:19:34Listen to these idiot fans.

01:19:36To the buckle and here comes the Undertaker.

01:19:38Oh! An elbow

01:19:40greeting him and

01:19:42goes live. Uh-oh.

01:19:44By the way, ladies and gentlemen,

01:19:46conspicuous by his absence this

01:19:48week, although he gave us that pre-recorded

01:19:50report, Jim Ross.

01:19:52Our condolences to the entire Ross family.

01:19:54Jim Ross is dead, passing away.

01:19:56Cannot be here

01:19:58with us tonight. Again, our condolences to the

01:20:00entire Jim Ross family. Here's a

01:20:02cover here by The Undertaker.

01:20:04And a kick out.

01:20:12Next week, we emanate from

01:20:14Berlin, Germany.

01:20:16A European

01:20:18championship.

01:20:20And everybody just, well,

01:20:22almost everyone

01:20:24vying for that European championship,

01:20:26which will come your way from Berlin, Germany,

01:20:28ladies and gentlemen.

01:20:30On Raw next week.

01:20:34Ooh! You

01:20:36sprechen Sie Deutsch?

01:20:38McMahon, come on, do you?

01:20:40Do I speak German?

01:20:42And nobody home. You'll be totally lost

01:20:44over there. I doubt it very seriously.

01:20:46Two and almost again a three.

01:20:50Most Europeans, bilingual.

01:20:54I heard that about them.

01:20:56Off the rope and

01:20:58uh-oh.

01:21:00Into the hair.

01:21:02And Farouk

01:21:04no doubt will win by any

01:21:06means necessary.

01:21:08Farouk, the closing

01:21:10Undertaker. And on his feet.

01:21:12Uh-oh.

01:21:14Right back to McGarrett. Oh, he was taken right off.

01:21:16Look at that shot right there.

01:21:18One of the members of the Nation of

01:21:20Domination cutting The Undertaker

01:21:22down. He's outside. He's hurt.

01:21:24He's in trouble. And we'll be right

01:21:26back. Stay with us.

01:21:30Full Metal Album presents

01:21:32WWF Rewind. That's right.

01:21:34Full Metal Album. The entrance music

01:21:36of all the WWF superstars.

01:21:38Alright, here we go now.

01:21:40We've got the Legion of Doom. The match officially

01:21:42on. Oh!

01:21:44The Headbangers

01:21:46know what it's like

01:21:48to feel the wrath of

01:21:50Hawk Animal. The Road Warriors

01:21:52back here in the WWF.

01:21:54Indeed, LOD

01:21:56is back.

01:22:00That was the WWF

01:22:02Rewind.

01:22:04We're back, ladies and gentlemen. The Undertaker.

01:22:06The Undertaker against

01:22:08Farooq. The leader of the Nation of

01:22:10Domination. And The Undertaker

01:22:12has really been taking it from

01:22:14the Nation of Domination outside. You're not kidding

01:22:16if I've said it once. I've said it a thousand times

01:22:18when you're against the Nation. Oh! Watch your

01:22:20back at all times. These guys

01:22:22are on you like a pack of wolves. Like a pack of

01:22:24rats.

01:22:28Alright, here we go.

01:22:30Undertaker scooped up. Let me take a look at the

01:22:32Tricks Double Feature. Replay this

01:22:34and some of what took place during the break.

01:22:38Again, like a pack of wolves, ladies and

01:22:40gentlemen. All over The Undertaker.

01:22:42They were just all

01:22:44over him, unrelenting, and now The Undertaker

01:22:46has paid that price.

01:22:48However, don't count him out.

01:22:50I'm telling you, when you go outside

01:22:52of that ring, when you're facing the Nation of

01:22:54Domination, it's like falling into water

01:22:56filled with piranhas. They're all over you. They just

01:22:58eat you up. Uh-oh.

01:23:00Look at this. Well, this is

01:23:02probably a very good strategy on

01:23:04the part of Farouk. I would suggest

01:23:06strategy. Here we go. Cover, a count

01:23:08of two. A kick out by The Undertaker.

01:23:10Strategy that will be examined by

01:23:12Psycho Sid prior to Wrestlemania.

01:23:14Farouk taking it

01:23:16to The Undertaker.

01:23:18With a lot of help from the Nation on the outside.

01:23:22Oh my gosh!

01:23:24Unbelievable maneuver

01:23:26on the part of The Undertaker.

01:23:28How did he get that elevation

01:23:30after all of the abuse

01:23:32his leg has taken at the hands of Farouk?

01:23:34The Undertaker.

01:23:36Off the rope

01:23:38now and... Again! Uh-oh.

01:23:40And this time, Farouk able

01:23:42to move out of the way.

01:23:44Look at the Nation of Domination members out there

01:23:46by Farouk.

01:23:48This is trouble indeed for

01:23:50Farouk.

01:23:52Uh-oh.

01:23:54And Farouk

01:23:56continues

01:23:58to keep The Undertaker off

01:24:00balance and that's one way

01:24:02unquestionably. Don't tell me he's going to use the ring

01:24:04post. Look at this.

01:24:06Undertaker trying to block it now.

01:24:08Uh-oh. Farouk

01:24:10trying to get that leg around

01:24:12the ring post.

01:24:14And Farouk

01:24:16obviously

01:24:18trying to catapult

01:24:20himself into the rankings and

01:24:22unquestionably he will here with a victory

01:24:24over The Undertaker and like you said

01:24:26at the start of the match-up, The Undertaker

01:24:28wanting to build an all-important momentum on the way to

01:24:30WrestleMania to face Sycho Sid for the

01:24:32championship. I can't help but think that

01:24:34somewhere Sycho Sid is going to see this

01:24:36and he's got to have a big smile on his face because

01:24:38look at the damage that's being done to The Undertaker's

01:24:40leg during this match.

01:24:42Irregular face.

01:24:52Who knows what's going to happen ladies and

01:24:54gentlemen. On Monday Night Raw

01:24:56and we're back where it all began.

01:24:58Where it originated.

01:25:00Back in January 1993 the

01:25:02Manhattan Center live from New York City.

01:25:04The Undertaker is in the

01:25:08The Undertaker now

01:25:10trying to move back in. Here we go.

01:25:12This could do it. No.

01:25:14A kick out by Farouk. You never know

01:25:16what's going to happen on Monday Night Raw.

01:25:18You don't know for sure what's going to happen at Wrestlemania

01:25:20either McMahon. Why don't you just keep

01:25:22things a little things here so to speak

01:25:24so that you know we don't have the

01:25:26extreme contingent returning.

01:25:30I guess you're really trying to blame that on me

01:25:32right? There is no

01:25:34question. Yeah I can

01:25:36blame it on you. I know things were a little

01:25:38volatile out here and things got a little

01:25:40bit out of hand no doubt about that but you

01:25:42invited them so therefore

01:25:44they showed up. I'm sick of seeing

01:25:46these morons and these idiots come to

01:25:48World Wrestling Federation matches and hold up

01:25:50a CW sign. I wanted the

01:25:52world to see what it was really like

01:25:54and I think I told you what it was like.

01:25:56I think we had a pretty good evening. Sucks.

01:25:58Well wait just a moment please.

01:26:00That's certainly your opinion. That's right.

01:26:04You have to wonder what would happen if

01:26:06a number of WWF superstars

01:26:08met a number

01:26:10of extreme superstars.

01:26:12Who knows what can happen here in the World Wrestling Federation

01:26:14and who knows whether or not Farouk

01:26:16ladies and gentlemen will be able to put

01:26:18the Undertaker away.

01:26:20Farouk extremely

01:26:22powerful, extremely crafty and look at this.

01:26:24And a lot of help on the outside.

01:26:26A whole lot of help. He's never alone.

01:26:28You're never going to catch this man ever alone.

01:26:30He is surrounded by that nation

01:26:32every place he goes.

01:26:34But the Undertaker is out.

01:26:36No the Undertaker is not out.

01:26:42Farouk just hammering away and the Undertaker

01:26:44back up on his feet but for how long?

01:26:46I don't know but he's up pretty quickly there.

01:26:48Undertaker with a boot

01:26:50to the chest area.

01:26:52Undertaker

01:26:54with a right hand.

01:26:56Undertaker hammering away on Farouk.

01:26:58Undertaker setting up the leader

01:27:00of the nation of domination. No, reversal

01:27:02off the rope and slam.

01:27:10Whoa. That was close.

01:27:12I'm going to tell you.

01:27:14This match, I mean it could go either way

01:27:16but that was just, I mean you know that was just

01:27:18a fraction of a second

01:27:20from being a victory for Farouk if he had

01:27:22just pinned the Undertaker

01:27:24right after the slam instead of going for that one stomp.

01:27:26Here we go on the top rope with the Undertaker.

01:27:30Wow.

01:27:32And now you wonder whether or not the Undertaker

01:27:34has the wherewithal. Get the nation

01:27:36of domination member down there, Ralph.

01:27:38Whether or not the

01:27:40That'll get him down.

01:27:42Here we go.

01:27:44Will we see the tombstone?

01:27:46Will we see the tombstone

01:27:48piledriver? That's what

01:27:50everybody here wants to see. The Undertaker

01:27:52put Farouk away.

01:27:54I'd settle for the choke slam.

01:27:56You don't like him either.

01:27:58The Undertaker now.

01:28:00Whoa, look at this.

01:28:02Oh no. He was taken

01:28:04right over.

01:28:06But he's on his feet.

01:28:08The Undertaker

01:28:10outside and

01:28:12this is trouble.

01:28:14Uh oh.

01:28:16And Farouk with those steel steps.

01:28:20Farouk's choke.

01:28:22Farouk

01:28:24had those steps
