00:54W.W.F. Armageddon.
00:57♪♪
01:07♪♪
01:18♪♪
01:26South Florida is the battleground.
01:29The National Park in the center in Fort Lauderdale
01:31is sold out and jammed to the Raptors
01:34for what perhaps will be the most personally intense
01:37W.W.F. extravaganza of all time.
01:41Come on, everybody. I'm Jim Ross.
01:43Alongside Jerry, the King Lawler,
01:45we are at ringside, King.
01:47And, King, are you ready
01:48for a wild, emotional ride tonight?
01:50Yeah, it already looks like a war zone in here,
01:53and we ain't seen nothing yet.
01:55We're gonna kick it off tonight
01:57with our big 16-man tag team battle royal.
02:01Uh-oh.
02:02To determine the number one contenders
02:04for the past titles at the Royal Rumble.
02:07Oh, it's just a dunce.
02:09Ladies and gentlemen,
02:13it's a 16-man, eight-team battle royal
02:16to determine which team will face the tag team champions
02:20at the Royal Rumble.
02:22Introducing first, from Dudleyville,
02:25D-Von Mama Ray from Dudleyboy.
02:30We're exactly in Dudleyville.
02:32That's me doing it.
02:35That's Rand McNally there.
02:37I don't know quite where Dudleyville may be.
02:40Can you believe I found something you don't know, J.R.?
02:45Why don't you people sit down
02:48and shut up and listen
02:51to what my brother Mama has to say?
02:58Before tonight is over,
03:02you people will remember
03:06the most important commandment.
03:11Thou shalt not mess with the...
03:16Uh-oh.
03:20Dudleys!
03:24If you don't believe us,
03:27just ask those two pretty boys,
03:31Edge and Christian.
03:35He thinks you know me.
03:37That's what happened on SmackDown Thursday night.
03:40The Dudleys did a first-class mugging job on Christian.
03:44The Dudleys had already hurt Edge a week before.
03:50Well, ask and you shall receive.
03:54And over the top rope,
03:5616-man, eight-team battle royal,
03:59and there's Edge and Christian.
04:01And they've got a lot on their mind,
04:03but Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley...
04:05Wait a minute!
04:07Are they supposed to start this now?
04:09Well, Edge and Christian not waiting,
04:11and the Dudleys...
04:12Where's everybody else?
04:13Really with this offensive attack here.
04:15There's 12 more guys out here.
04:18It was Bubba Ray and D-Von...
04:20Get out of here!
04:22...that did the damage to Edge's knee
04:24and sprained his knee.
04:25And then Thursday night on SmackDown,
04:27we saw more double-teaming by the Dudleys
04:29on Edge's brother Christian.
04:32Uh-oh.
04:42The most experienced tag team
04:44in this battle royal,
04:45the Headbangers,
04:46multiple-time tag team champions.
04:48They survived Thrasher's knee injury
04:51and a horrendous gimmick for Moss
04:54to return here and hopefully
04:57and establish some tag team dominance
04:59here in the WWE.
05:01I see Moss is wearing something.
05:03Miss Kinney ain't gonna be wearing...
05:04Hey, look at this!
05:06To be accompanied to the ring by Terry
05:09and a component of the $430,000
05:12Tag Team Championship,
05:13The Hardy Boys!
05:15Whoo!
05:16You know, folks, a lot of people
05:17really believe that the Hardys
05:18are the uncrowned tag team champions.
05:20They had a couple of real close calls
05:22with the New Age Outlaws King
05:24the last two or three weeks.
05:25And if the Hardys can win this battle royal,
05:28they will meet the tag team champions,
05:30whomever that may be,
05:31at the Royal Rumble.
05:32Where's Terry going?
05:35Come back here, Terry!
05:37From Cleveland, Connecticut,
05:39Pete Cash and Rodney,
05:42The V Street Luchin!
05:47You gotta like these guys, JR.
05:49They look like the former models
05:51from The Gap
05:52with those stupid sweater vests on.
05:54Stupid?
05:55You see what the Headbangers are wearing?
05:57That's just absurd.
06:06Perhaps the most physical team
06:08to ever hook up here in the WWF.
06:10Bradshaw on your left,
06:11Baruch on your right.
06:13We've seen their antics in the barroom.
06:15They have never lost a barroom fight.
06:17I don't know if they've ever finished
06:18a card game without physicality.
06:20Yeah, they're no-nonsense.
06:24Speaking of nonsense,
06:26speaking of nonsense,
06:30now these guys are cool.
06:34Look!
06:36Look at this!
06:40Well, if these two guys can stay focused
06:42and stay serious,
06:43they may be the dark horses in this matchup
06:46to win this battle royal.
06:48Look, they're not intimidated by the egg whites.
06:51Not yet, anyway.
06:52Maybe they can teach the egg whites how to dance
06:54when they go in all those bars.
06:56They won't get in fights.
06:57Oh, baby!
07:12You know I love Christmas, J.R.!
07:15Oh! Oh! Oh, God!
07:20Oh, you talk about the, uh,
07:22the fox getting into the hen house.
07:24Mark Henry around those hoes.
07:28He's got a,
07:29he's got a grin on his face all afternoon
07:31that you couldn't have seen him last at all.
07:33He is thanks for chocolate, you know.
07:39A fun-loving godfather.
07:41Gotta get his game face on here with Mark Henry.
07:44And, uh, because of the, uh,
07:47the risky nature of this business,
07:49the hoes are gonna be, uh,
07:50not at ringside.
07:52And now there is, uh, Terry
07:54with the Hardys as well.
07:55And here we go.
07:56Remember, it's, uh, eight teams.
07:59You're eliminated when you go over the top rope
08:01and both feet touch the floor.
08:03And when one member of a team is eliminated,
08:05that entire team must return to the locker room.
08:08And this is all about the WWF Tag Team titles.
08:11Whoever wins this battle royal
08:12gonna get a shot at the Royal Rumble.
08:14And there's no telling who the Tag Team Champions will be.
08:16Oh, look at this!
08:17Remember, over the top rope,
08:18both feet gotta touch the floor to be eliminated.
08:22And who will end up
08:25from this Tag Team Battle Royal
08:27as the number one contenders?
08:28And who will meet the Tag Team Champions,
08:30whomever they may be,
08:31at the Royal Rumble,
08:32which is already sold out
08:33in Madison Square Garden next month?
08:35Wait a minute.
08:36Are these guys out or what?
08:37I think, uh, I think Edge and,
08:39Edge and, uh,
08:40Mosh.
08:41And Mosh, uh, went through the ropes
08:42down over the top.
08:43Wait a minute!
08:45Look at Mosh!
08:48Rather unorthodox, uh,
08:49offense there by Mosh.
08:51Pulling something out.
08:52Oh, wait a minute.
08:53I think one of the, one of the posse just,
08:54one of the,
08:55one of the posse members
08:56just got eliminated.
08:57And Joey Adds now is in,
08:59and Joey Adds didn't start the match.
09:00It was Pete Gass and Rodney.
09:02Well, all for one and one for all.
09:04Still got two posse members in the ring.
09:06Only got one ring left.
09:07And, uh,
09:08and, uh,
09:09and, uh,
09:10and, uh,
09:11You got two posse members in the ring.
09:12Only got one referee out here
09:13trying to
09:14keep some order here.
09:16And I don't know how prudent that decision was.
09:19Mosh has pulled the stuffing out of his bra.
09:22Come on man, my first girlfriend.
09:23Whoo!
09:24Rodney!
09:25Now, wait a minute.
09:27See there,
09:28Joey Adds got,
09:29The posse should be out of here.
09:32Rodney got eliminated once.
09:33He's back in.
09:34Joey Adds replaced him illegally,
09:36I might add.
09:37He's, he's out.
09:38Now Rodney's back in.
09:40went to scholarship in Greenwich
09:41or went to high school on scholarship.
09:43That's smart.
09:44Oh, look at this.
09:45Well, they're not that smart.
09:46They weren't valedictorians of the Battle Royal School
09:48because the posse has been eliminated,
09:50the first team out of here.
09:52How'd that happen?
09:55Oh.
09:57Referee Jim Corderas sending the posse
09:59back to their locker room.
10:01And in the meantime, Bradshaw has Matt Hardy
10:04almost over the top here.
10:10Uh-oh, he's back in.
10:12Remember the team that wins this match-up
10:15are in a coveted title match at the Royal Rumble.
10:18And Bradshaw almost able to, he's almost outside,
10:21but Bradshaw landing on the apron
10:24and no feet, not even one, touch the floor for Bradshaw,
10:27who's back in and eligible to continue to compete here.
10:30And look out, oh, there went, uh-oh, there went Mosh.
10:33So that means the Headbangers can go take a shower.
10:36They're done.
10:41That's two teams have been eliminated.
10:43Bradshaw don't want to go.
10:47Bradshaw's got to leave whether he wants to or not.
10:48Unfortunately for the Headbangers,
10:51as Mosh was coming over the top rope,
10:53both his feet touched the floor.
10:54Headbangers are gone.
10:56Look out.
10:58Scotty too hot, he was in a little trouble,
11:00but now he's back in okay.
11:02Bradshaw teeing off of Bubba Ray Dudley
11:04on the right part of your screen there.
11:06No love lost between the Acolytes
11:08and the Dudleys' entrance here.
11:09Now look at this, both Acolytes
11:11trying to get Mark Henry over.
11:12They did it.
11:13That's 400 pounds of sexual toxic.
11:17So Mark Henry and the Godfather have been eliminated.
11:21Darn, they'll have to go back to their dressing room
11:22with the hoes.
11:26That's a rough tour of duty, isn't it?
11:29Here at Armageddon.
11:31Uh-oh, look at Bubba Ray.
11:34Bubba Ray teetering on the top rope.
11:36That was good.
11:39Edge teeing off on Tuseksei,
11:42who's still got his cute little headband on.
11:45And it's-
11:46Grandmaster Tuseksei.
11:48Uh-oh, look at Tuhati Scotty.
11:50Grandmaster just got his britches pulled down
11:51around his ankles.
11:52What?
11:53He's trying to get them back up.
11:54That ain't cool.
11:56Edge hammering away at Grandmaster
11:58and Grandmaster fighting back.
12:01Remember, pinfalls or submissions
12:04are irrelevant in this battle royal.
12:07Battle royal.
12:09Who will emerge as the number one contenders
12:14of the tag team titles.
12:21Scotty to Tuhati.
12:23It's gonna be here.
12:24On the apron.
12:25Oh, oh, Edge percussing there.
12:27Balancing himself on the apron.
12:33And both Edge and, or excuse me,
12:36both Edge and Becky with Grandmaster Tuseksei.
12:38You gotta get over here, Tuseksei.
12:39Oh, look out.
12:40Low bridge.
12:42Say goodnight, Too Cool.
12:43No, wait.
12:44We'll see you later.
12:46They cheated.
12:47Howdy, your boy, Bubba Dudley hanging on by an ankle
12:50from going outside.
12:52But Too Cool's got a goal.
12:54Let me just tell you that the Royal Rumble
12:55is not gonna be as cool as it could have been.
12:59Oh, Devon Dudley and Bradshaw exchanging right hands.
13:03Now, finally, Devon went down to a knee.
13:05Bradshaw, oh no, now he's down to a knee.
13:11And Edge and Christian trying to get some retribution
13:13from Bubba Ray Dudley.
13:16And there's Devon now getting in,
13:18right in the face of Edge here.
13:21Four teams left.
13:23Four teams, eight men.
13:25But only one team can leave here
13:26as the number one contender for the tag team title.
13:31All right.
13:32Everybody went over the top rope that time.
13:34Devon Dudley and Christian on the outside.
13:37Here go the Hardys.
13:38Hardys and the Acolytes paired off here.
13:44Oh, look at that, JR.
13:46Man, Hardy got one foot down, but not two.
13:48The Hardys are still alive.
13:49Oh, now Farouk's teetering.
13:51Oh, and Farouk stopped on the apron.
13:55Nice balance by Edge, jumping over,
13:57landing on the apron.
13:59And oh, Devon Dudley just pulled Edge off the apron.
14:04I'd say both feet hit the floor, along with the face.
14:07And I think the referee's saying
14:08that Edge and Christian have been eliminated.
14:11Of course.
14:11Referee Jim Corderas is right there
14:14to make that call, leaving us with three teams,
14:16the Acolytes, the Dudleys, and the Hardys.
14:19I don't like the Hardys' chances now.
14:23Oh.
14:24Double clothesline by Bubba and Devon.
14:27The Dudleys taking down Jeff Hardy,
14:29while the Acolytes are double teaming Matt Hardy.
14:32And I think the Dudleys and the Acolytes
14:34are gonna be content to, well, to double team
14:36each of the Hardy boys until they eliminate them.
14:38And then, well, it's gonna be the Acolytes and the Dudleys.
14:45Jeff Hardy sitting rather gingerly
14:47up on the top turnbuckle in a very precarious position
14:51as a, he's up, oh, Bubba Ray
14:55with a fisherman suplex on Jeff Hardy
14:58and Bradshaw picking off Devon Dudley.
15:01What's up with that?
15:06DDT.
15:07Bradshaw got DDT'd by Bubba Dudley.
15:11And Farouk, again, balancing himself on that top rope.
15:14Oh, look at Devon.
15:19This ain't, this is not gonna feel good.
15:21Ha, I guess, oh!
15:25The headbutt off the second rope
15:27found the promised land, shall we say.
15:30I told you I was picking the Dudleys.
15:34Well, Bradshaw now incapacitated.
15:35Farouk, Farouk paired up with Matt Hardy.
15:39And, oh, look out.
15:40Goodbye.
15:413D, the Dudley Death Rock.
15:44And wait a minute.
15:45Although, Matt Hardy from behind
15:49eliminated a celebrating Devon Dudley,
15:52the Dudleys are eliminated,
15:54leaving it now the Acolytes and the Hardys,
15:57the final two teams in this Battle Royal
16:00here at Armageddon.
16:01I told you that money was on the Acolytes.
16:04And they're changing horses.
16:07Faster than Lafayette Pinke.
16:09Oh, look out!
16:11Oh, owie.
16:12Jeff Hardy held on,
16:14but almost ate some of that ring post.
16:16Oh, springboard.
16:19No way.
16:21Remember, pinfalls don't count here.
16:23And, man, the Hardys, Matt Hardy firing up here.
16:28Jeff Hardy firing up on Farouk
16:29and choking Farouk with his T-shirt.
16:32And Matt Hardy and Bradshaw.
16:34Look at that!
16:37Who went over?
16:38Both of them.
16:39The referee.
16:40The referee is on the other side of the ring.
16:41Now, both Matt Hardy and Bradshaw are on the outside.
16:46Who landed first?
16:47And the referee was not in a position to make the call.
16:50I think Matt Hardy landed first.
16:52Of course he did.
16:55What do we do now?
16:56I think the referee's gonna just have this.
16:58I think he's gonna have a continue.
17:01He's not signifying that anybody's been eliminated.
17:03I know Matt Hardy landed last.
17:07Well, if Matt Hardy landed last,
17:09then that means that Bradshaw landed first.
17:10No, I mean last in that last encounter.
17:14Matt Hardy on the outside, leaving his brother Jeff.
17:18Oh!
17:19Bradshaw's clothesline from hell
17:22turning Jeff Hardy inside out.
17:25And one of these two teams
17:29is gonna win this battle royal here
17:31and advance to the Royal Rumble in January.
17:35Our next pay-per-view offering.
17:36Uh-oh, look at this.
17:38Oh, great move there, brother.
17:39Wait a minute!
17:40Nice move, hey ref!
17:42Farouk's on the outside,
17:44and there's only one referee out here.
17:46And this time, Cordero's on the other side of the ring
17:50and didn't see Farouk get eliminated.
17:53Well, I don't think he was thrown over anyway, do you?
17:55It's irrelevant.
17:56Whoa!
17:56Nice move by Matt Hardy.
17:58It's irrelevant how you go over.
18:04Look at this!
18:05Oh!
18:06Great teamwork by the high-flying Hardys.
18:09Oh, and man, that'll ground Air Hardy in a hurry.
18:12Those shots to the face by Bradshaw.
18:18He missed him!
18:19Looking for the, oh, Bradshaw.
18:22Got a drop kick right up over the top rope,
18:24but it did not go to the floor.
18:25Not even one foot.
18:27Oh, drop kick!
18:29A drop kick off the top by Jeff Hardy!
18:32Still didn't go!
18:33And the referee's calling this safe.
18:36And a spine buster by Farouk.
18:39And it almost broke Jeff Hardy in half.
18:43And, oh, Matt hanging on.
18:45Matt hanging on there.
18:46And Jeff Hardy, my God!
18:49Jeff Hardy was in the time zone.
18:50He didn't hang on.
18:51The Acolytes have won the Buckle War.
18:53The Acolytes!
18:58I told you everybody on the Acolytes paid up, JR!
19:04So the Acolytes have earned the opportunity
19:07at the Royal Rumble to compete
19:09for the WWF Tag Team Championship.
19:19Wow.
19:21Let's take a look at some of the action here.
19:24It's certainly officiating and have a major part
19:27in these events here tonight.
19:30Take a look at this.
19:31Steve, you can tell whose feet hit the floor first.
19:34Hardy's!
19:35I told you, Hardy's!
19:36I thought it was Bradshaw.
19:38Now look, see, Farouk just tripped.
19:41Farouk should've been eliminated right there.
19:42The referee didn't see it.
19:43He wasn't thrown out.
19:44There's no doubt about this, though, JR.
19:46Look out!
19:50Emphatically, the Acolytes have won
19:52the Tag Team Battle Royal.
19:56So what we have now is the Acolytes have the opportunity
19:59to go for it all at the Royal Rumble.
20:01Well, I'll tell you what.
20:03I'm gonna keep my money on the Acolytes.
20:04These guys have gotta be the meanest and toughest guys
20:08that are in the World Wrestling Federation right now.
20:10Well, Lillian Garcia is the one
20:14that's neither mean nor tough,
20:16but she's standing by with an Olympic gold medal winner.
20:21Kurt, you have come into the WWF with full force,
20:24and you're having tremendous success.
20:27Well, thank you.
20:28I sure am.
20:29But I wanna make one thing perfectly clear.
20:31I am still undefeated here
20:32in the World Wrestling Federation.
20:34Last Thursday night, Steve Blackman was fully responsible
20:38for the loss we suffered against the Dudleys.
20:40Now, it's not Steve's fault.
20:41I mean, he is who he is.
20:44And very few of us reach that pinnacle of success,
20:47that level of intensity where I am.
20:49I mean, my Olympic gold medal speaks for itself.
20:52But I'm getting kind of a funny response
20:54from the fans out there all around the country.
20:57But I know here in Southern Florida,
20:59they will appreciate my gold medal.
21:01They will appreciate my past accomplishments.
21:04And I know they will appreciate a true American hero.
21:09Well, we'll see.
21:11We'll see.
21:41And you do have a lot of integrity, right?
21:43I would like to talk about the three...
21:47Wait a minute.
21:48Wait a minute.
21:49What's the big deal?
21:50I think the, uh...
21:51He interrupted the three eyes.
21:53Well, the Olympian better get himself ready here.
21:55I think the three eyes are a little bit too much.
21:57I think the three eyes are a little bit too much.
21:59I think the three eyes are a little bit too much.
22:00I think the three eyes are a little bit too much.
22:00I think the three eyes are a little bit too much.
22:01I think the three eyes are a little bit too much.
22:02I think the three eyes are a little bit too much.
22:03I think the three eyes are a little bit too much.
22:04I think the three eyes are a little bit too much.
22:05I think the three eyes are a little bit too much.
22:06I think the, uh...
22:07He interrupted the three eyes.
22:09Well, the Olympian better get himself ready here.
22:12Uh-oh.
22:12Dan Blackman is here and ready for battle
22:14here at Armageddon.
22:15Blackman, the Martian artist,
22:17against Kurt Angle, the 1996 Olympic gold medal winner.
22:21And Angle and Blackman have had a modicum of success
22:24in tag team competition as partners
22:27until last Thursday on SmackDown.
22:29And of course, Angle blamed Blackman for the defeat.
22:34What'd you think?
22:36Rightfully so.
22:37Blackman would...
22:38Winner's a team.
22:39He loses a team.
22:40Oh, wait a minute.
22:41Oh, there's another eye that's very important.
22:43That's individuality.
22:44Nice missile dropkick by Steve Blackman,
22:47the lethal weapon here on Kurt Angle.
22:49Both these men are native of Pennsylvania.
22:53Angle from Pittsburgh.
22:55Blackman from Anvil.
22:59Kurt's about the only...
23:00Oh!
23:00And Blackman left his feet.
23:02And sometimes those high-risk moves
23:05don't get you to where you wanna be.
23:08Kurt's about the only top athlete
23:10Pittsburgh can boast about these days.
23:12What do you mean by that?
23:14Well, given the state of the Steelers, oh, boy.
23:17Angle now trying to build a little offensive advantage here
23:20on a nice dropkick by Angle.
23:22Didn't learn that in the Olympics.
23:23That's a WWF style of sports entertainment.
23:27See, Cordell Stewart, he should practice the three eyes.
23:31Don't cry when you're down and losing.
23:35Oh, look at this.
23:36Angle now going for the cover, lateral press.
23:38And Angle able to get a near fall out of the situation
23:41with Steve Blackman.
23:43Blackman, the martial artist who has adapted his game
23:45for the WWF.
23:48Look, like another great American hero.
23:50Babe Ruth, he's calling his shot.
23:52Oh, Angle.
23:53Where's he going?
23:54This is not really Angle's style here.
23:57Not very Olympic-like, but look at...
23:58Oh!
23:59Angle looking for the moonsault.
24:00Oh, my God!
24:01That was not good.
24:02Another high risk.
24:04Opportunity that didn't pay off.
24:07And now Angle...
24:08See, I got to talk to Kurt about this.
24:10Doesn't pay off to try to please the fans.
24:15Look at Blackman.
24:15He's got him.
24:16Submission move now.
24:18A modified bow and arrow by...
24:21Look at the shoulders are down.
24:22Blackman had his shoulders down
24:24in that pinning predicament there.
24:26And Angle lucky that referee Tim White was on the ball there
24:30because Blackman's shoulders were indeed on the canvas.
24:33You realize, JR, Kurt Angle has never
24:35in his life tasted defeat?
24:39It's an amazing accomplishment, isn't it?
24:40You're not kidding.
24:42He has yet to be pinned here in the WWF, obviously,
24:46even though his team lost last Thursday again.
24:49Well, his team, you're looking at the loser
24:52right there, right now, Steve Blackman.
24:53Oh!
24:54Left grapevine.
24:56Hook in the face, nice submission move
24:57by Steve Blackman here.
25:00That is a move right there.
25:02Come on!
25:03Angle seems a little bit confused and out of his game
25:06here on the defensive because Blackman
25:08has been all offense here.
25:09Oh, it was that moonsault.
25:11Kurt was doing it to try to get the fans to cheer for him.
25:13Oh, there you go.
25:14Blackman lowered his head and got DDT'd for it.
25:17Be intense, Kurt, intense.
25:18Angle not wasting any time.
25:20And another near fall created by Kurt Angle.
25:25Remember the three eyes.
25:30There you go!
25:32Nice suplex by Angle again, going for the cover,
25:33not wasting any time!
25:34And got another near fall after hooking the leg.
25:41Uh-oh, watch it.
25:43Oh!
25:45Fans here are really trying to get into Angle's head
25:47by chanting boring.
25:50They're not chanting boring.
25:51They were, that's what I heard.
25:52What do they think they're chanting, Doreen?
25:54She's here tonight, you know.
25:57Angle and, oh yeah, Blackman, this is not an arena.
26:02This is outside the ring that Angle wants to be in.
26:03This is more, certainly, at least in my view,
26:06down Blackman's road.
26:11See, that's the sad thing about some of these fans.
26:13You're not flying off the top rope with a moonsault
26:16risking your life and limb.
26:18They think it's boring.
26:20Kurt Angle's the best real celebrated
26:22Olympic gold medal wrestler you're ever gonna see.
26:26Blackman on the apron.
26:27Nice sunset flip back inside.
26:29Couldn't, no it's not.
26:31Angle doesn't spend too much time on his shoulders.
26:35Oh, here we go.
26:36Which is a good thing.
26:37Oh, Blackman rolls through the cross body
26:39and hooked up the legs, but couldn't get the leverage
26:41to keep the shoulders down for three.
26:45Nice quick move by Blackman.
26:47Intelligent by Blackman.
26:49Blackman made a nice quick move to get out in position
26:51but then Angle come underneath.
26:53Got the double arm suplex.
26:56Blackman very quick on his feet,
26:57but Angle out-wrestled Blackman on that exchange.
27:00I just don't understand how these people
27:01don't appreciate Kurt Angle.
27:04Well, maybe, just maybe.
27:05I'm going down on a limb here.
27:06It's his rather pompous attitude.
27:10JR, I mean, it's not, he's not conceited.
27:12He's convinced he's an Olympic gold medalist.
27:15I can understand if he was a braggart
27:17and couldn't back it up.
27:18Well, he wants everybody's adulation.
27:21Don't you think adulation should be earned?
27:23No, it's deserved.
27:27Now what are they chanting?
27:29They're chanting, Angle sucks.
27:32But I could be wrong.
27:35Irish fit far side.
27:36Oh, no.
27:38Almost see and feel that one coming.
27:39Sucked on that foot there.
27:40What a nice drop toe by Blackman.
27:43And that ran Angle's face right into the second turnbuckle.
27:46Nice move by Blackman.
27:47Again, keeping Angle off balance
27:49and Blackman with those striking blows.
27:52Angle is not a striker.
27:53He's a grappler.
27:54Good shoulder block by Blackman,
27:56knocking down the Olympian.
27:59Front face lock down to a snap suplex.
28:01Good move by Blackman.
28:03You can feel the momentum changing in this matchup.
28:08Blackman using his elbows, his forearms,
28:10and his head on that exchange cover.
28:13And Blackman trying to almost think,
28:15what do I got to do here?
28:16But Blackman did not.
28:18He neglected to hook the leg that time,
28:19which maybe could have been the difference.
28:21Blackman looked like he's in great shape,
28:22but could be a little winded.
28:24Nice move, spine buster.
28:25Floats over into another pinning combination.
28:27I don't think he's in Olympian shape.
28:31I don't know about that.
28:32Blackman looks in pretty good shape to me.
28:34Looks like he's breathing kind of hard right now.
28:37Kurt just kind of taking it easy, a little rest here.
28:39Side slam.
28:41Angle don't look like he's sending an old lazy boy to me.
28:44What do you think he's doing?
28:45And Angle.
28:46Relaxing.
28:47Look out.
28:48See, couldn't I tell you?
28:49He was playing possum.
28:51Too much time.
28:53Too much wasted time there by Blackman.
28:56Half Nelson, a roll-up and a near fall.
29:00Very basic wrestling move there by the Pittsburgh native
29:04and Blackman couldn't hit the enziguri.
29:06Belly to back suplex.
29:08Into the bridge.
29:09And that's it.
29:10Got him.
29:10Yahoo.
29:12That was a great move by Blackman, Kurt Angle.
29:16Angle wins with a German suplex.
29:18There's integrity for you on belly to back
29:21on Steve Blackman with a bridge.
29:23And wait a minute, Blackman back in the ring.
29:24Uh oh, the fourth guy stands for Blackman's an idiot.
29:27Look out.
29:28Oh, Blackman with a, with those nuns, but.
29:32Look at this.
29:34And now the people cheer for somebody like that.
29:40Man, Blackman got a little, he got a little payback there
29:43even though he lost the match.
29:45I think there's a little confusion here in South Florida.
29:47I don't know that the Olympian's gonna be able
29:48to get on the medal stand.
29:50Nice on nunchucks, I think.
29:53There's something nice, but it ain't nunchucks.
29:56What is this?
29:58What are we seeing, JR?
30:00Well, we're, a lot of, a lot of, a lot of curves.
30:04I'm thinking back.
30:05I gotta go to the back.
30:05Earlier tonight on heat, we saw.
30:11Well, I'll tell you what we saw.
30:13We saw something that was a little bit different.
30:15We saw a little bit of a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a,
30:19We saw something terrible.
30:20We saw those two walking liver spots,
30:22Moolah and Mae Young embarrass and humiliate
30:25our WWF Women's Champion.
30:28That's not easy to do.
30:31Oh!
30:31Come in, Michael.
30:33B.B., I am so excited.
30:34I cannot wait for tonight's evening.
30:37Gal, match it up.
30:41Armageddon.
30:42Armageddon here in California.
30:43I mean, Florida, but anyhow,
30:45you really think that you have a chance
30:48to win the, the, uh.
30:50Michael, could you do me a favor and zip this?
30:52Sure.
30:55Zip it, you idiot.
30:56It's gonna be awfully difficult to get out of tonight at,
30:59at, um.
31:00Armageddon.
31:00Yeah, uh, thanks.
31:02You're welcome.
31:03I gotta go.
31:05Thanks.
31:06Greg Norman!
31:06The Shark!
31:07South Africa's Greg Norman.
31:09One of the greatest golfers in the world
31:10here at ringside with his family.
31:12Good evening.
31:15Please.
31:16The following contest is a special evening.
31:19Our match will be held in the pool
31:22for the World Wrestling Federation Women's Championship.
31:26Introducing first, the special referee,
31:29Mae Young and the fabulous Bootha.
31:33They are talking about getting a good assignment.
31:35How did these two rest home rejects
31:36get to referee this match?
31:38Well, out of respect, Bootha's a Hall of Famer.
31:40Look at the sequence on.
31:42She got that, I think she got that dress originally
31:45from the real Cleopatra.
31:49Uh-oh.
31:51Hey.
31:52Introducing the participants.
31:54First, Miss Kenny.
31:58Miss Kenny was spotted here in this match last week
32:01by China.
32:04Remember the last woman to keep her evening out on
32:07will be the winner of this match.
32:09The winner of this match will be the WWF Women's Champion.
32:14And the match will be contested in this pool
32:18here at the National Car Rental Center.
32:20Guess what Miss Kenny don't wear, JR?
32:22I heard.
32:24Introducing,
32:26Jack Bootha.
32:29You think it's true, King,
32:30that Miss Kenny doesn't wear any underwear?
32:32Do I think it's true?
32:33Yeah.
32:33I hope it's true.
32:35You know what, I was just thinking,
32:37maybe Bootha ought to try going without a bra.
32:39Oh, boy.
32:40Might pull some of the wrinkles out of her face.
32:41Will you stop it?
32:44See, Boy.
32:47So Jaclyn is here.
32:48Miss Kitty is here.
32:50We have two more contestants.
32:55You gonna get it on?
32:56In a swimming pool.
33:00Uh oh, wait a minute.
33:06Hey, look at this,
33:10it's starting already.
33:12Did you see that?
33:12I hope that water's cold, too.
33:15Here comes B.B., I hope that water's cold,
33:17the registered nurse who's been volunteering as an EMT
33:20the past several weeks here in the WWF.
33:24Got in this match on Thanksgiving night,
33:26in essence, in the gravy bowl match,
33:29where she was embarrassed.
33:32Oh, look at those two.
33:37And introducing the World Wrestling Federation
33:41Women's Champion Ladies' Grand.
33:44Oh, look, they're all in a, what happened?
33:46Well, B.B., Kitty and Jacqueline
33:48are already in the pool.
33:50They await the ladies' champion,
33:53the ladies' title at stake here.
33:55And remember, it's a real simple matchup.
33:57The last lady to keep her evening gown on is the winner.
34:01Yoo-hoo!
34:05How did those, how did Miss Kitty and B.B. get in the pool?
34:08That's what, look at, look at.
34:12Those two old dinosaurs pushed them in.
34:14I heard you were out here putting ice water in that pool.
34:18I wanted to be real cold for them.
34:22Well, this ain't gonna be a day at the beach.
34:25Oh, look at, oh, poor Ivory.
34:27Oh, poor Ivory.
34:29That's the second time she's been in there.
34:30That motor mouth.
34:34Well, here we go, so, this is a.
34:39Oh, look out, whoa.
34:42Well, I've had a chance to call a lot of matches
34:43in over 20 years, another fight like this, folks.
34:47Come on, tear some clothes.
34:50We want some puppies.
34:54Let's go, puppies.
34:55You may see a whole litter of puppies.
34:56Oh, wait, wait.
34:58Jacqueline, Jacqueline's almost.
35:02Oh.
35:03Oh, Jacqueline's down there in brown panties.
35:05Brown panties, brown panties.
35:07Ha, ha, ha.
35:08Yoo-hoo.
35:09Uh-oh.
35:10Well, look, Ivory, she just mounted Bebe.
35:13Let's see more broad ready.
35:14Woo-hoo, Jacqueline.
35:18Oh.
35:20Uh-oh.
35:21Be careful there, it was.
35:23Look at Ivory.
35:24Watch the headlights.
35:25Trying to climb Bebe like a tree.
35:27Trying to climb her, she's trying to drown her.
35:29Ah.
35:32Now, look, oh, Kitty and Ivory.
35:34She'll never drown, she's got built-in life preservers.
35:36Ah.
35:37Ah.
35:39Kitty and Ivory seem to be, uh,
35:42cooperating here in this endeavor.
35:48This is great.
35:49Oh, wait.
35:50Bebe is kind of buoyant.
35:51Whoa.
35:53What do we get?
35:57Oh, baby, Bebe.
36:01My gosh.
36:02I think we've seen all the Bebe
36:03we're gonna see here tonight.
36:05No, look, no, we haven't.
36:07Oh, wait a minute.
36:08Ivory's going for it, oh.
36:09Don't do that.
36:10I love Ivory.
36:10She's my hero.
36:12Come on, get him.
36:13Get him.
36:14I guess that's quite the apparatus to unhook.
36:15Man, I can unhook those things in one second.
36:19This is sports entertainment at its best, JR.
36:21I think that thing's got two or three safety latches
36:23on it just for, to balance everything, you know?
36:26Hey, wait a minute.
36:27What do we got here?
36:30Woo.
36:33Miss Kitty just pulled Ivory right back
36:35in the brink here.
36:37So it's down to Ivory and Kitty.
36:38Can't move Ivory, she was trying.
36:40Uh-oh, look out.
36:47Oh.
36:50For the next lady to lose her evening gown.
36:53Oh, there goes that cat.
36:55Breaking the ice.
36:57Boy, JR, I don't know who thought of this match,
36:59but they are a genius.
37:00Oh, look at this.
37:02Miss Kitty went right for the zipper.
37:05The old zipper routine.
37:06That's my first move every time.
37:08A Greco-Roman zipper lock.
37:10Wait a minute.
37:12She's got, she's got Ivory dog pedaling.
37:15What are we going to see here, JR?
37:17Hey, wait a minute.
37:19Kitty's won the match.
37:20Miss Kitty's a, Miss Kitty's a new WWF Women's Champion.
37:24Are you kidding?
37:25The Wrestling Federation Women's Champion, Miss Kitty.
37:30No.
37:34I can't believe it.
37:37Kitty is the new Women's Champion
37:40of the World Wrestling Federation.
37:42Look at this.
37:45Ivory is stunned.
37:48I'm stunned.
37:49And our celebrity referees, Lou and Meg.
37:54Uh-oh, wait a minute.
37:57Sore loser, Ivory's a sore loser.
37:59What is that thing Ivory's wearing?
38:00Ivory's wearing, I've never seen one of those.
38:04I got that.
38:10JR!
38:12Well, I told everybody I was going to win this,
38:15and I did!
38:16Hey!
38:17But I know you came here to see me get naked.
38:21Yo, Adrienne!
38:24I'm not going to disappoint you,
38:26but I want you to know, they made me wear underwear.
38:31What?
38:32Who did?
38:33Who are they?
38:34That's what I want to know.
38:36That damn office, wait a minute, what's she doing?
38:41She's not going to disappoint us, JR!
38:44Woo-hoo!
38:47Broad panties!
38:49What?
38:50Boy, there's a little Timmy in here.
38:51Oh!
38:53Well, the new champion's celebrating.
38:59I made her wear undies!
39:03Wait, JR, she ain't done yet!
39:08Ah, ah, ah!
39:09What the heck?
39:11What?
39:12JR!
39:14Woo-hoo!
39:16She didn't get the point!
39:19Well, Miss Timmy said she was going to come through,
39:21and she did.
39:23She did exactly what she said she was going to do.
39:25Holy mackerel!
39:28I've never seen a new champion celebrate like this.
39:30Oh.
39:32I told you whoever came up with this was a genius!
39:36I'm not going to disappoint her.
39:37If you come after her,
39:39and she's a great man, young, darn naked,
39:43so here I am for you!
39:45What?
39:46What?
39:47She won!
39:48Oh, good God.
39:49Put the women and children in the back!
39:51Hurry!
39:52Get them out of the room!
39:54Give me the bark bag, JR!
39:55Good God almighty.
39:58Oh my gosh!
40:00What a cute couple!
40:01Sergeant Slaughter and Mae Young make.
40:03The dude in the back!
40:05Go get a room, for God's sakes!
40:07Oh, please!
40:11She's on the real Gypsy Rose League!
40:16I'll tell you what.
40:17I don't know how Kevin Kelly and his guests
40:20are going to follow this,
40:21but all I can do is say try, guys.
40:24A new women's champion and a wild scene poolside.
40:27But backstage is Rikishi Fatu.
40:29Later on tonight, you and Viscera team up
40:32against the Hollies.
40:33And in action that we saw earlier tonight
40:35on Sunday Night Heat,
40:36the Hollies in their weigh-in ceremony.
40:38Rikishi, you saw this as your opportunity
40:41to go after the men that have attacked you
40:43on a number of occasions as of late.
40:45Now, it got wild and out of control on Sunday Night Heat.
40:48And I'm sure that when the tag team match
40:49gets underway here at Armageddon,
40:51the results could even be worse for the Hollies.
40:53The question that I have for you, sir,
40:55is why do you think the Hollies
40:57have such a problem with you?
41:00Hickory dickory dock.
41:04Rikishi finally talks.
41:08Bob Holly, crash.
41:11Watch out for the Rikishi drop.
41:14And it goes like this, boys.
41:17For the last week or so,
41:19since Rikishi has hit the World Wrestling Federation,
41:23you decide to jump on the newcomer.
41:27Well, check these out, punks.
41:29When Rikishi gets his hands on you two fools,
41:34Armageddon just might be your last day.
41:37Because while you out there making fun of all
41:41you want to call the fat people in the world,
41:44I represent all them fat, healthy people
41:47out there in the world.
41:48Your ass is mine.
41:50My ass on top of your face when I'm through with it.
41:55We talked about your tag team partner tonight, Viscera.
41:58Viscera, I got one thing to say to you, brother.
42:02You better be ready and you better have my back
42:04like I got your back.
42:06I've been working.
42:07Whoa.
42:13The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
42:17Introducing first, at a combined weight
42:19of unimaginably over 800 pounds,
42:23hardcore and crass, Bob Holly.
42:28I'll tell you something, JR.
42:29I'm still trying to recover from Miss Kitty.
42:31I think, I think they're coming.
42:34I think I got to go back there and get a towel for her.
42:35I think you need to sit right here, pal.
42:37That's a real live puppy with her cute little pink noses.
42:45I'll tell you what, these, nobody does a pay per view
42:48like the WWF, but I think, I'll say that last match
42:53is just one illustration of that point.
42:55Oh baby.
42:57The Holly cousins, hardcore and crass,
43:00tag team action upcoming here.
43:06Their opponents, introducing first,
43:09weighing 496 pounds, Viscera.
43:15496 pounds, JR.
43:17Well, Viscera's about a cinnabon or a pound heavier
43:20than the last time I saw him.
43:21He's a little bit heavier than the last time I saw him.
43:24500 pounds, JR.
43:25Oh, Viscera's about a cinnabon or a couple of biscuits
43:27away from 500 pounds.
43:30Cinnabon?
43:35Now you know what I had for breakfast this morning.
43:37Ha, ha, ha.
43:40Speaking of buns, what about that Miss Kitty match?
43:43Oh my gosh.
43:48His partner, weighing 424 pounds,
43:52Rikishi Fatu.
43:58Well, you want a battle of super heavyweights.
44:00The Hollies wanted a super heavyweight matchup
44:04in tag team competition.
44:05I would certainly say that Rikishi Fatu
44:08and this qualify as super heavyweight.
44:11You think? I don't know now.
44:12I don't really know if these two guys,
44:14Rikishi and Viscera are big enough for the Hollies.
44:19They want, I mean, you know,
44:20they want some real super heavyweight, JR.
44:22Who would you suggest that's larger than Fatu and this?
44:27I don't know.
44:28Fatu makes a sumo wrestler look anorexic.
44:30Oh!
44:33Rikishi opening up on both the Hollies
44:36here at the outset of this contest.
44:37Uh-oh.
44:38Oh no, don't.
44:39May not, may not.
44:39Oh!
44:40Oh!
44:41That's it.
44:42It could be over.
44:44And Crash Holly, barely able to get it,
44:46just turned his shoulder.
44:47It was all Crash did.
44:49Oh man.
44:52I think I would eliminate the Sunset Flip
44:54when competing against Vis and Fatu.
44:58Oh no.
44:59Well, there's a lot of tonnage,
45:01a lot of girth going south
45:03and a shot there by Hardcore Holly
45:05that saved his cousin, no doubt about that.
45:07And Cousin Crash tags in Hardcore.
45:11That would be a fate worse than death, wouldn't it?
45:13Now, of course, if you were wrestling Miss Kitty
45:15and that might be a different story.
45:17Oh!
45:19The power of Rikishi.
45:22And the big man now.
45:23Woo!
45:24Look out!
45:25Moving around.
45:26Oh!
45:27Gosh.
45:28That ample-sized posterior found its mark there.
45:30Look out, belly to belly suplex.
45:32Well, that was nicely done.
45:33Could be all right here.
45:35One, two, and a interruption by Crash Holly
45:39before the three could come down.
45:41And now finally, Rikishi looking for the tag from Vis.
45:45And Vis doesn't look too-
45:46Uh-oh, what's up here?
45:48It's just a team, isn't it, or not?
45:52Well, there's a tag, whether Vis liked it or not.
45:58Vis has had his issues as of late
46:01as we have seen with Kane.
46:03I didn't really think those two
46:04would ever get back together.
46:07Who's that?
46:08Well, let's talk about the cheeks of-
46:10Oh, quit.
46:11Rikishi's-
46:12Cheeks?
46:15Oh, no!
46:15Look out!
46:16Samoan drop from the 496-pounder.
46:20Oh, Hardcore Holly in a lot of trouble
46:23and a little crash in there.
46:25Super heavyweight crash.
46:26Look at the strength of Vis.
46:31Crash is not 300 pounds, but he thinks he is.
46:33You talk about belly to bellies.
46:36That was spectacular.
46:38Scoop slam on Hardcore Holly by Vis.
46:41Look out, oh!
46:43And Vis is looking to splash both the Hollies.
46:47Boy, these guys move fast for super heavyweights.
46:50Oh!
46:52Sticking and moving are the Holly cousins.
46:54So they had an opportunity there to keep Vis down.
46:57It didn't work out.
46:59Vis backed up to his vertical base
47:00and Hardcore Holly trying to do all he can
47:03to move this big man around.
47:05The Irish flip is reversed.
47:07Oh!
47:08And again, the quickness of a Hardcore Holly.
47:11Very evident on that exchange.
47:14Look at this!
47:16Got him!
47:17Nice missile drop kick right off the top.
47:20And Hardcore Holly got a two count
47:22and quickly tags in Cousin Crash.
47:25Cousin Crash, I like that.
47:29Vis had an idea to make a tag there.
47:30The Hollies had a different thought.
47:32Oh!
47:34Double elbow, just got to reel the big man.
47:37Come on, boss, get on the side!
47:38Oh, ow!
47:39Drop kick right under the ribs.
47:41Oh!
47:42And one to the knee.
47:43They're hitting him everywhere.
47:44Oh no, please!
47:45He's trying, Crash going for that subset flip again.
47:48Crash crazy!
47:50Crazy Crash!
47:51What a shot there by Hardcore Holly.
47:53Oh, look out!
47:56Oh!
47:57Oh, that drop!
47:58Best drop, 496, right in the face of Crash Holly.
48:02And now tags in Rikishi Fatu.
48:09Rikishi, those right hands,
48:11like they have found their marking.
48:13Oh my gosh!
48:14Oh!
48:15Right into a neck break.
48:16The elevation into the neck breaker.
48:18A nice move by Rikishi.
48:21Rikishi is fat, all right.
48:23PHAT.
48:24Uh-oh.
48:25Uh-oh.
48:26DDT.
48:26Look!
48:27And he fazed him!
48:28Had no effect on the hard head of Rikishi.
48:29Turn around, boss!
48:30Oh!
48:31What a straight martial arts kick.
48:34Uh-oh, look out here.
48:34Oh no.
48:35This could, this is a devastating move.
48:38And he hit it!
48:39Rikishi!
48:41Uh-oh.
48:42Well, there's Rikishi Piledriver.
48:43Get under here!
48:44Rikishi, come on!
48:45And Crash.
48:46Uh-oh!
48:47Look out!
48:48Hey, Visorock, looking for Hardcore.
48:52You get the gold partner!
48:53Booker.
48:54Here are your winners, The Hollies!
48:58Well, The Hollies.
49:00You talk about falling in the outhouse,
49:02and coming out smelling like a rose.
49:06I don't think Hardcore's not aware
49:08that he and his cousin Crash have won this match.
49:12And Rikishi cannot believe,
49:15after delivering his Piledriver,
49:18that he lost this match-up.
49:19I know Crash doesn't know it yet.
49:24Hardcore Holly smiling like,
49:26oh, we had it under control all along,
49:28and that's not the case.
49:31Boy, look at Rikishi's face.
49:36Rikishi not very pleased with what has transpired here.
49:44Look at the size of this.
49:46Still over 400 pounds.
49:47I tell you, super heavyweights don't make good partners.
49:51Super heavyweights don't play well together.
49:53No.
49:59Oh, you knew that was gonna happen.
50:00Almost.
50:02Oh, look at that.
50:03Oh, a martial arts kick that got Vis right in the face.
50:09And Rikishi.
50:11Now Rikishi and Vis are hammering it out here.
50:14And whoever tries to separate these guys are crazy.
50:19Like I said, sorry to slaughter.
50:22Let's get some more to restore here.
50:23And while we do,
50:26I think Lillian Garcia is standing by
50:28with a Big Val Boski.
50:32Val, you have been the Intercontinental Champion,
50:34and now tonight you are possibly looking at becoming
50:37the World Wrestling Federation European Champion.
50:40You know something, Lillian?
50:42The Big Val Boski once before proved that he had
50:45what it took to become a champion.
50:48And tonight here at Armageddon,
50:50the Big Val Boski once again receives the opportunity
50:54to wrap gold around this waist.
50:58And you know something?
50:59After the dust has settled
51:01and it's all said and done,
51:02and the Big Val Boski's hand is raised in victory,
51:06the Big Val Boski will take that European Championship,
51:10fly in a 747 across the seas,
51:15search out the most beautiful women across Europe,
51:19and wait until the women of Europe
51:22get a load of the Big Val Boski,
51:25because he is the Eiffel Tower and Big Ben
51:29all rolled into one.
51:32Ha, ha, ha, ha.
51:36Tu eres de España, si?
51:38Si.
51:40Tu eres de España, muy, muy bonita.
51:45Ha, ha, ha, ha.
51:46Gracias, vamos.
51:47Ole!
51:48You're looking at the real deal now.
51:51You're gonna kick this soaring ass out on the street.
51:55Ha, ha, ha, ha.
51:56That's what you get.
51:57You're back, you're back, you're back, you're back.
52:01You got me.
52:02Victory is sweet.
52:03Here's your receipt.
52:05Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
52:08Triple threat match for the World Cup State Federation
52:11European Championship.
52:13Ring the ring from Chicago, New Orleans,
52:15weighing 238 pounds, D-O-B.
52:2117,054 has sold out the National Car Rental Center
52:27here in Fort Lauderdale,
52:29and I'd love to be a fly on the wall.
52:33And know what's going on back in the locker room.
52:35In Miss Kitty's locker room?
52:36No, I was thinking about Vince McMahon
52:38and Triple H's respective locker rooms.
52:45Now, Val Venis.
52:46Triple Venis, come on out.
52:47Weighing 242 pounds, Val Venis.
52:52Val Venis, a former Intercontinental Champion,
52:55but so is D-Lo Brown.
52:56As a matter of fact, D-Lo Brown is the only man
52:59in WWF history to be the Intercontinental
53:01and European Champion at the same time.
53:05Well, Val says if he wins the European title,
53:08he'll go to Europe and show all of those ladies over there
53:10that he's Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower at the same time.
53:16Triple threat rules.
53:17The first man to score a pinfall or a submission
53:20wins the match and therefore will be the European Champion,
53:23meaning that the Bulldog, who is the European Champion,
53:27does not have to be involved in the decision
53:29to lose his title.
53:35And to be accompanied to the ring
53:38by the mainstream pussy from Manchester, England,
53:41weighing 250 pounds, the World Wrestling Federation
53:45European Champion, The Big Bulldog.
53:50The Bulldog in his sweater vest wearing stooges
53:53all the way to the ring.
53:54If it hadn't been for them,
53:56the Bulldog wouldn't even be the European Champion.
53:58These guys aren't in the stooges.
53:59We already got stooges.
54:01The sweater vest wearing pussy.
54:03The sweater vest wearing pussy.
54:05It'd be nice to have a pussy.
54:09Now, the Bulldog with his European title on the line.
54:13The pussy interrupted a match last week
54:16between Val and D-Long
54:17to determine the number one contender.
54:19Wait a minute.
54:20What is that referee Teddy Long doing?
54:21I don't want to hear it, okay?
54:23Hey, you guys, all you do is cause problems.
54:26You need to go back to the distance.
54:28Wait a minute. These guys are from Greenwich.
54:29They're not problem solvers.
54:31Back to the distance.
54:33Come on. Back to the distance.
54:35Head on back to Greenwich.
54:37Razooks is having a big sale.
54:39Where? Go shopping.
54:42Go wash your luxury automobiles.
54:45And here we go.
54:46Val Venus and D-Long Brown.
54:48The Bulldog, triple threat rules for the European title.
54:54And every man for himself environment here.
54:56Remember, the first person to score a pinfall
54:59or earn a submission will be the European champion.
55:07Wow. Val Venus pairing up now with a British Bulldog,
55:10Davey Boy Smith, from Manchester in the UK.
55:17A couple of hard clotheslines there.
55:19And Val Venus catches a Bulldog with a clothesline of his own.
55:24Outside goes the European champion.
55:27So I want to thank all the fans in the United Kingdom
55:30for staying up late with us tonight
55:31and joining us live here for Armageddon.
55:39Look at this! D-Long Brown!
55:41With airborne, the D-Long Brown experience
55:44introduced to the Big Bob Oskie and the Bulldog.
55:47Uh-oh. Look out.
55:52Boy, the pace quickens here when the big boys
55:56the Big Bob Oskie and D-Long are in there
55:58hooking it up offensively.
56:04Power slam, slowing down D-Long.
56:06That could be all and a near fall.
56:09Boy, D-Long Brown took a huge chance moments ago, King.
56:12Yeah, luckily for D-Long, there was somebody home.
56:16Can you imagine the Fofo Fofo guys
56:18just kind of step to the side for a second?
56:20Oh, Bulldog interrupted the count that time.
56:23You never know, Val Venis may have gotten the three.
56:26And again, Val Venis sending the Bulldog outside here.
56:30They're right in front of us.
56:31Right hand by the Big Bob Oskie
56:33on the European champion, the British Bulldog.
56:37Uh-oh. Reversal!
56:38Oh!
56:39The Bulldog used his power
56:41to reverse and overpower Val Venis
56:45as the Big Bob Oskie kind of went limp there
56:47in those ring steps.
56:48He hates it when he goes limp.
56:54You know, when the Big Bob Oskie was a kid,
56:55he used to wet the bed.
56:56Oh, really? From the hallway.
57:00D-Long Brown got a little, uh...
57:04D-Long's telling the Bulldog,
57:05me and you, we'll work on Val Venis.
57:09Double team, huh?
57:13So Val Venis being double teamed now
57:16by the European champion and by D-Long Brown.
57:19And really not a bad strategy.
57:21Remember the first person.
57:23If D-Long pins Val Venis, D-Long's the European champion.
57:29I'm sure that the Bulldog has retained
57:31the rules of this match-up.
57:34Bulldog's not worried.
57:35Uh-oh, wait a minute.
57:37Oh!
57:38Now he should be worried.
57:40So much for that cooperative effort.
57:44D-Long stomping away at the ribs
57:46of the British Bulldog and Val Venis
57:48rises back up to the occasion with right hands.
57:53Look out!
57:54Nice counter.
57:56The reversal of the Irish whip by D-Long Brown.
57:58Hard to hold for a springboard.
58:01His foot's off the rope
58:02and D-Long tried to grab the head of Val Venis,
58:05but D-Long hurt himself coming off the ropes there.
58:08One of those high-risk maneuvers.
58:09Look out!
58:12And the knee, the leg is hooked.
58:15And we're a count away from a new European champion.
58:17The Bulldog on the outside
58:20trying to get his gang back together.
58:23And all due respect to Triple H.
58:26Oh!
58:27The game, that is.
58:31And Val Venis, I heard how smart that was.
58:34He had D-Long in trouble with Val.
58:37And I don't think he'd want to bring the Bulldog
58:38back in the ring, but in any event,
58:41Val Venis now trying to be a...
58:44Watch this!
58:46Oh!
58:47Meeting of the minds.
58:48Man.
58:49D-Long's head just cracked the Bulldog
58:51right in the temple.
58:54Now D-Long and Val exchanging rights.
58:56And the Bulldog just letting them,
58:58maybe they'll punch each other out here.
59:00That's smart strategy.
59:03Look at this!
59:04And that was pretty good strategy, too,
59:06the double clothesline, knocking down the Bulldog.
59:11Oh!
59:13Right on the shoulder.
59:15Well, that's what happens when you get two guys
59:16like D-Long and Val.
59:19And, uh, especially when they don't care
59:22what happens to their opponent.
59:24Oh!
59:31Look at the strength down the butt
59:32rushing to Bulldog's head.
59:33Oh!
