00:00:00Well, here I am, the one and only Mr. Perfect, and I've been asked to host this video bashed

00:00:29in the USA. You know, many of you people know the hobbies that Mr. Perfect possesses, such

00:00:35as football, basketball, and golf. But perhaps there's one hobby that you're not aware of

00:00:43that Mr. Perfect has, and that is stamp collecting. And I'm here in New York City in the largest

00:00:50stamp store in the world, in search of the perfect stamp. So in the next couple hours,

00:00:57I want you people to sit back and relax and watch some of the greatest WWF action ever

00:01:02seen while I search for the perfect stamp. So let's kick it off with this Coliseum exclusive,

00:01:11The Big Boss Man vs. Razor Ramon. Hello everyone, and welcome to Green Bay, Wisconsin, for this

00:01:19Coliseum exclusive. I'm Gorilla Mom, along with the Los Lordship, Alfred Hayes, as we

00:01:26take a look at the Mr. Machismo. Here is Razor Ramon. What an athlete. He indeed is, Gorilla.

00:01:39I really admire this man. He has made his mark here in the WWF, but what he's got to

00:01:46learn is a little more patience. He has rather leapt into things, but he's going to learn

00:01:51that, and I think there is a tremendous future for this man. Well, he's had some very, very

00:01:57tough matches to date, but I think this is going to be his toughest, Alfred. This is

00:02:02indeed is going to be a tremendous test of this man's abilities. Now, I did speak to

00:02:08him earlier, and he did tell me he's going to go back to that ice-cold, cool way of his,

00:02:15of calculating, not making hasty moves, or doing anything rash. Oh, look at this. Making

00:02:21a move here on Mike McGurk. And he told me he wasn't going to make those moves. Look

00:02:26at him. She likes him. He wants a kiss on the cheek. Oh, she likes him. Don't worry.

00:02:43Gorilla, this man has been riding very high lately. He's put together a tremendous string

00:02:59of victories. He's obviously hoping to keep that intact here today against Reza Rahman,

00:03:06but I don't know whether he'll be able to do that or not. Well, if he can get the support

00:03:12that little bit of extra something he needs from this 14 or 15,000 plus on hand here,

00:03:19might make this task a little bit easier. I think it would indeed. He can get psyched

00:03:24up so quickly by a responsive crowd. Be interesting to see what kind of strategy

00:03:35Mr. Machismo is going to use in this match. He must have heard you, the Big Boss Man Gorilla.

00:03:42He was trying to get some response from the crowd. They went to that corner and they certainly

00:03:47came up for him. They rose, they stood up from their seats, but none of that affects

00:03:53this man, Reza Rahman. Razor saying the nightstick has got to go. And how about that munitions

00:04:01belt he's got on? Well, I think he's going to have to get rid of it. I think he better

00:04:10keep that then. I think so. Look at Rahman, there he is. He's exercising all that calmness

00:04:17that he told me about. All that coolness and that's what he needs. I'd like to get a closer

00:04:23look at Rahman's face. Maybe later on our cameraman will give us, well, he's given us

00:04:28a close up there. The other man, the Big Boss Man, I'd like to see Reza Rahman. I want to

00:04:33see the determination if it's there in his eye. Well, he's always got that standby toothpick

00:04:40behind that right ear, Alfred. That could be a dangerous thing. That could indeed. And

00:04:47now he's belittling and humiliating the Boss Man. Symbolic, do you think? Well, Reza Rahman

00:04:58is not made of wood, Alfred. No, he's not going to snap him that easily. I must say

00:05:03the Big Boss Man looks very good though. Very, very light on his feet, this man. Very nimble.

00:05:09For somebody that they said would never, ever again return to the squared circle after

00:05:15a tremendous beating that he took, I'm surprised that he looks as well as he does. He does

00:05:21indeed. He looks very, very well indeed. You're right. Doesn't look like he's missed a beat

00:05:25since that beating he got. Yeah, but that's what happens when you're young, Alfred. You

00:05:29have those recuperative powers. Do you think we're never going to see those days again?

00:05:33They're gone by the wayside for us. Rahman playing very, very good psychological moves

00:05:40here, but I'm afraid that that has prompted the Boss Man to follow suit. Boss Man says

00:05:46two can play that game. I believe we're about four or five minutes into this match and they

00:05:56haven't touched each other yet, Alfred. No, and I don't blame them for that. You've got

00:06:01to feel out your position. Razor Rahman tried his psychological, his head play. Oh, gosh.

00:06:07First blow there struck by the big Boss Man. First blow to him. And Razor tried his psychological

00:06:16ploy and then the Boss Man follows suit and that wasn't a bad move either by the Boss

00:06:21Man. Now Razor will be singing a little higher in the shower this week, Alfred. I've never

00:06:26heard him sing. I've heard him sing. I've seen him dance. He's a very, very good dancer. Doesn't

00:06:33have any trouble getting a date for Saturday night either. He certainly doesn't. The girls

00:06:37love him. I know my girlfriend likes him. I've told her about that too. I've warned her. I'd kick

00:06:43her out, Alfred. She takes no notice of me. See if we get a clean break here. Boss Man

00:06:54will give you a clean break. And look at Razor cover up. Oh, gosh. Open hand shot right to the

00:07:05jaw. And did he slap him around the face too? That was like a shot that went around the world.

00:07:12How insulting that is. That is very, very humiliating. Side headlock now by Razor,

00:07:19looking to gain and maintain a little bit of control here. I think actually at the moment,

00:07:25Razor Ramon is playing right into the big Boss Man's hands. His psychological ploys

00:07:29didn't work. Boss Man's have. Boss Man doing this very, very intelligently indeed. Look out.

00:07:36The irresistible force meeting the immovable object. He said, come on, let's try it again.

00:07:44Same result. As a matter of fact, he nearly took Ramon off his feet then. Very, very close.

00:07:51I didn't quite catch that. He's called him boy. Oh, that will get Razor's attention. I think it

00:08:00will. But he told me he's not going to allow that to put him off his stride. And look at him. He's

00:08:06still calculating, still cool. Oh, I can see what Boss Man's up to here. Boss Man trying to rattle

00:08:15the big guy. Yes, he is indeed. He tried it with the slap around the face. Tried it with the going

00:08:24outside the ring. Test of strength. And I don't think Boss Man will win this one. Look at that

00:08:32tremendous upper body of Razor Ramon. Razor so well proportioned, Alfred. Indeed he is. Looks to

00:08:41be about, what, 10 or 12 percent maybe body fat and that's it. I would say absolutely top line,

00:08:4710 or 12 percent. But don't detract here from Boss Man. He's a big man. You and I are in

00:08:54different figures when it comes to that category, Alfred. Oh, I'm sorry I said that. What you mean,

00:09:00300 percent? Oh, gosh. Razor gaining control with a finger lock here. He'll have to do a lot more

00:09:11than this to win this match. Yes. Look at the stamina. A real surge of strength by the big

00:09:19Boss Man. Good shots there by Razor. And Razor talking to him all the time, Alfred. Too bad we

00:09:28don't have one of our handhelds in there a little bit closer. Pick up some of that conversation.

00:09:32Well, maybe we wouldn't hear that, wouldn't want to hear that conversation. We might be X-rated.

00:09:40We certainly would, I believe. Razor Ramon has given to a few choice words now and again.

00:09:45Boss Man trying to get back to his feet, alleviate some of that downward pressure. Here it comes now.

00:09:55A tremendous amount of power and strength going into this one move and that can certainly weaken

00:10:05you. Oh, turn it around. Uppercut one of his patented ones. Irish whip in now. Look out,

00:10:14elbow by the big guy. Oh, duck in from underneath. Could have him now. Small package right in the

00:10:23center of the ring. Referee a little bit out of position. He is persistent, the Big Boss Man. He

00:10:30stays in there. He's got a lot of tenacity and he uses it very well. And look at this. He's really

00:10:35running. Rough shot now over Ramon. Right hands one after the other by the big guy. Don't turn

00:10:44your back on Razor. Look out. Nightstick in hand. He ducked underneath that one. Wow. A right hand

00:10:52and another one. Referee got the nightstick out of there. Had he connected with that, I think we

00:10:59might have had a disqualification. I think we definitely would have had a disqualification,

00:11:02but look at this. Boss Man has dominated the last five minutes or so. Whoa. There you go.

00:11:09As soon as I say that. Got dominated by that size 13. Look at this. Feet on the second rope.

00:11:16Leverage here by Razor is going to get him the victory. Well, the record books won't tell the

00:11:29story. They'll just be a big asterisk there saying that Razor Ramon in Green Bay, Wisconsin,

00:11:36defeated the Big Boss Man. But it won't say that he cheated, Alfred. No, it won't. But I think that

00:11:42was a well thought out victory by Razor Ramon. I take my hat off to him. Razor Ramon, oozing

00:11:50machismo. You're oozing something, but what you're oozing stinks. I've had my run-ins with Razor Ramon.

00:11:59Randy Savage, snapping right, look, oh yeah. Ramon, Razor. Look at that. Oh, no. Oh, look at this.

00:12:09Oh, no. Oh, yes. Oh. Oh, no. And a poster back to the outside. Oh, yeah. Now, that was perfect.

00:12:26And if I could get somebody to help me here, I could find my perfect stamp.

00:12:30And while I'm waiting, why don't we check out this six-man tag team match between Tatanka

00:12:37and High Energy as they take on Rick the Model Martel and Money Incorporated. Is anybody working

00:12:44here? Hello, everyone, and welcome to Cornwall, Ontario, Canada. For this Coliseum exclusive,

00:12:53gorilla monster among his lordship, Alfred Hayes. As we look at the model, Rick Martel.

00:13:01One of your favorites, Alfred. He is, indeed. This man is a multi-talented wrestler

00:13:06and superstar of the boardwalks of the fashion capitals of the world. And I understand he gives

00:13:12you free arrogance, too, Alfred. Yes, he does. I rather like it, too. He gives me,

00:13:17he's got them nicely bottled, you know. Actually, he's not giving you very much,

00:13:21it's $0.59 a quart. Oh, no, it's not. I thought that's what I heard. It's more like $59 an ounce.

00:13:30Wearing in his chapeau, one of the feathers from Tatanka. Yes, he told me he's going to

00:13:38keep that forevermore. And his partners, the reigning World Wrestling Federation

00:13:43Tag Team Champions, Money Incorporated, Ted DiBiase, along with Erwin R. Sheister.

00:13:51And what a combination these two fellows are. They have really held that title with so much

00:13:57dignity, with so much effort. I really appreciate the work ethics of these men.

00:14:03IRS, he's probably the finest technical wrestler there is in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:14:10And of course, to make the tag team complete, the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase,

00:14:15is without a doubt the greatest ring tactician I've ever seen.

00:14:19And if you can't get it done that way. With citizenship comes responsibility.

00:14:24And with responsibility comes taxation. So that means pay up, you bunch of tax cheats.

00:14:33Well, I think the people in Cornwall can be glad that Clinton doesn't have any voice up here in

00:14:39Canada. Well, I don't know. Clinton likes to take his fair share of taxes, I suppose. Notice I said

00:14:46fair share. High energy and nice ovation for the Rocket Owen Hart, along with Coco Beware.

00:14:54These two men have proved themselves on many occasions. This youngster here, Coco Beware,

00:15:01maybe not quite so young now, but a young man still.

00:15:05He has blended his talent so well with that fellow, the Rocket Owen Hart.

00:15:13Got everybody high-fiving, low-fiving. What a six-man this is going to be.

00:15:20Listen to the ovation here for the undefeated Native American, Tatanka.

00:15:26What a future ahead for this gentleman. One of the most popular stars ever to grace

00:15:32how WWF rings Tatanka. He's a lumpy Indian, pure-blooded, but he wants-

00:15:39Lumpy? He doesn't look lumpy to me, Alfred. Lumpy.

00:15:42Oh, lumpy. I thought you said Lumpy.

00:15:45We've had some lumpy Indians. Chief J. Strongbow was one of them.

00:15:49Oh, he's very lumpy now. Have you seen him now?

00:15:52He's about 400 pounds, Alfred. Yes, he is indeed.

00:15:54He told me the other day he had trouble with his knees. I said, no wonder. Look at you.

00:15:59Your knees are carrying around three people.

00:16:03Oh, gosh. Dear old Chiefie.

00:16:05Well, the speed and the agility is going to definitely go to the side.

00:16:10Tatanka and his partners, high energy, but the cunningness and the experience, Alfred.

00:16:16Yes. You know, there's another very keen Indian here this evening watching this match,

00:16:22and that's Marty Applebaum. Marty Applebaum.

00:16:26He told me he was an Indian. He is.

00:16:29He is. He was.

00:16:30He was. I don't know the gentleman, Alfred.

00:16:32No, I don't know him. I don't know him either.

00:16:34I don't know him. I don't know him either.

00:16:37He is. He is.

00:16:37He was. He was.

00:16:38I don't know the gentleman, Alfred.

00:16:41Who is this person, Marty Applebaum, and what does he do?

00:16:45Well, he's a rather a nice fellow, and he's a representative for the exclusivity

00:16:50of Coliseum video match-ups. He is.

00:16:52Yes. Oh.

00:16:53And occasionally, he pokes his nose in where it's not wanted.

00:16:56Oh, one of those guys that's always looking for the freebie, right?

00:16:59That's the fellow. You got him.

00:17:00He's looking for the free lunch. Now you know him.

00:17:02I think he resembles that remark, too, Alfred.

00:17:05Indeed. Oh, look at that.

00:17:09Nice arm drag there by DiBiase.

00:17:13And a lot of applause from his partners for that superb move.

00:17:17A little smile on DiBiase's face. Money can't buy a smile like that, you know.

00:17:21Well, I think he's happy because he knows this is a six-man match-up.

00:17:25The title is not on the line. He doesn't have to worry about that.

00:17:29Knows that there's no substitution for experience, and feels very confident.

00:17:34You've summed it up so well, indeed.

00:17:36In fact, you've taken every word out of my mouth.

00:17:39I'm sorry. Okay.

00:17:40I'll try and think of something else.

00:17:42Where is this apple dumpling guy, Alfred? What was his name again?

00:17:46Okay. His name is Marty Applebaum.

00:17:48Oh, Applebaum. Okay.

00:17:49I'm going to look for him. If I see him, I'll point him out.

00:17:52Okay. He's a strange-looking bird.

00:17:54He may be back rifling the lockers, Alfred.

00:17:57That's a possibility. Look at DiBiase here.

00:18:01He's strolling about this. He's sauntering through this match.

00:18:05Look at that. And that's against a very formidable opponent.

00:18:11Well, the younger brother, Owen Hart of Bret the Hitman Hart,

00:18:15reigning World Wrestling Federation champion,

00:18:20doesn't ever want to look bad.

00:18:23And DiBiase, of course, is making him do that right now.

00:18:26Dropped out quickly in front. Look out. Leapfrog over the top.

00:18:29Oh, a dropkick finds the mark.

00:18:32Irwin gets a nice arm drag for his trouble.

00:18:35Another dropkick. It's mayhem now.

00:18:39Everybody's in.

00:18:43And those dropkicks, Gorillaz, that started this six-man action

00:18:47by Owen Hart, the Rocket, they were superbly timed

00:18:51and so beautifully placed right on the jaw of both IRS and the Million Dollar Man.

00:18:57Superb stuff.

00:18:58Well, they went over there to the little run.

00:19:00Jimmy Hart looking for some kind of explanation.

00:19:03Time to regroup a little bit.

00:19:06As high energy and Tataka has cleared the squared circle.

00:19:11Look at DiBiase. He's bent out of shape.

00:19:13He's not very happy at all. I can say that.

00:19:16His plans went down the drain then,

00:19:18when suddenly everything that was going in his favor turned against him.

00:19:24I think it's time they switched and put somebody else in the ring.

00:19:27I'd like to see the model go in and try and calm this right down.

00:19:31Well, you know, as soon as the model gets tagged in there,

00:19:34they're going to get Tataka in there.

00:19:37A lot of scores to be settled between those two.

00:19:42Well, you may have seen right into the future there because here he comes.

00:19:47Here comes the model into the ring.

00:19:48Let's see if your predictions were correct.

00:19:51Owen says, come on, get out here in the center of the ring.

00:19:53Apparently, your predictions aren't correct.

00:19:55Look at that.

00:19:56There it is.

00:19:56Oh, no, they are.

00:19:58Look at the model doesn't realize it had his back turned.

00:20:01Oh, look out.

00:20:04Tataka with the reverse knife edges.

00:20:07Tomahawk chop.

00:20:10He wants that feather back.

00:20:13And the Cornwallians here have exploded.

00:20:16They love this situation.

00:20:20And there are a lot of Indians here in Cornwall, Alfred.

00:20:22There are indeed.

00:20:24And they're very, very happy to see what is happening there.

00:20:26But I'm not quite honestly.

00:20:29I think that Tataka took an unfair advantage there.

00:20:33For example, I did not see Owen Hart touch the opponent.

00:20:38And isn't he supposed to come into contact before he tags somebody else in?

00:20:43No, because the match was already underway.

00:20:45Oh, he didn't.

00:20:47He doesn't have to touch.

00:20:49Oh, I thought if they tag somebody else in,

00:20:52that he had to touch him.

00:20:54I'm wrong with that.

00:20:55That must be some old law that they've dropped that since.

00:20:58I think they dropped that about 40 years ago.

00:21:01Thank you.

00:21:04Nice arm wringer here by Tataka.

00:21:07And now Owen in the wrong part of town here.

00:21:10Look at Coco pulling those pants up.

00:21:14Coming down on the elbow.

00:21:15Too much showboating there by Coco.

00:21:18And that's what happens to you when you showboat.

00:21:20You get shown up.

00:21:23Smooth.

00:21:24Duck underneath.

00:21:25Look out. High cross body.

00:21:27Two count.

00:21:28Whoa, was that close?

00:21:29A drop kick into beauty finds the mark.

00:21:33Coco moving at incredible speed.

00:21:36I thought he'd overshot his bolt a little while ago.

00:21:38But no, he's right back on top.

00:21:41I'm surprised that Coco still has that tremendous speed.

00:21:44He's put on about 25 pounds of it.

00:21:46And it's all in those pants too.

00:21:48Look.

00:21:48Certainly is.

00:21:49Look at the size of them.

00:21:50Words of wisdom.

00:21:52From the senior member of the team.

00:21:54Into the ear of Erwin.

00:21:57They have a common bond, these two.

00:21:58Shyster and Coco.

00:22:00They both wear braces.

00:22:02I think you call them something else here.

00:22:04Suspenders.

00:22:04Oh, suspenders, yes.

00:22:06Well, we're in Cornwall now.

00:22:08You can call them braces if you so desire.

00:22:09And you can call them braces here, yes.

00:22:14I rather like Coco's braces.

00:22:15They're rather nice.

00:22:17Pretty checkered effect on them.

00:22:18They're different.

00:22:22Shoulder block.

00:22:23Sends Erwin down.

00:22:24Look out.

00:22:25Oh.

00:22:26Diviasi right there to put the little finishing touch.

00:22:30Yes.

00:22:30Now that is excellent tag team work.

00:22:33That is just superb tag team maneuvers.

00:22:36And they are so good at that.

00:22:38Money Incorporated and Shyster.

00:22:42I'm sure Martel feels honored to be with such company.

00:22:44The champions.

00:22:46Oh, he is really looking forward to this match.

00:22:49Had a chance to talk with him earlier on in the locker room area.

00:22:53He said, if I had to pick two partners,

00:22:56I couldn't pick two better ones than the champions.

00:22:59Oh, he's so right when he says that.

00:23:01Tatenko creeping in now.

00:23:04I didn't see a tag once again.

00:23:07Well, if you'd stop stuffing your face with all those hot dogs

00:23:11and french fries, Alfred, you'd see these tags.

00:23:13Well, they make such good french fries here in Canada.

00:23:16Not like the fish and chips you get over there in very old England.

00:23:20Very old.

00:23:22Do you remember those fish and chips we had in Bermondsey in London?

00:23:25Were they delicious?

00:23:29Oh, look at this now.

00:23:32Martel giving a lesson here to Tatenko.

00:23:36He might want some more feathers.

00:23:38Well, he's certainly giving Tatenko a beating here.

00:23:41And he's a great front runner, Martel.

00:23:43When he gets on top, he'll stay there no matter what.

00:23:46Blatant chokehold right in front of the referee.

00:23:49Didn't care.

00:23:50Broke it on the proper count and now

00:23:53takes Tatenko back into the demilitarized zone.

00:23:57Yes, and that was an introduction there to Erwin R. Shyster, the income taxman.

00:24:04What was that he said in the beginning about taxation?

00:24:07He said that Cornwall was not paying their fair share of it.

00:24:11What do you think?

00:24:11Well, I think he's a liar and a cheat and a thief.

00:24:15You couldn't be more outspoken about that, could you?

00:24:20Now, what was that?

00:24:21DiBiase removed something there from Tatenko.

00:24:24Looks like he had perhaps one of the tag ropes

00:24:28wrapped around the neck and he brought it in there with him.

00:24:31Tatenko brought it in with him?

00:24:33No, Martel did.

00:24:35Now you've got me confused, Elvin.

00:24:40Tremendous six-man tag team action here on this Coliseum exclusive.

00:24:47As DiBiase plants an elbow.

00:24:51And Tatenko at this point really taking a shellacking

00:24:55from all three members of the opposing team.

00:24:58He's got to get back to Coco Beware or Owen the Rocket Heart.

00:25:02I would say preferably Owen the Rocket Heart because he certainly has

00:25:06the armory to do something against this almost untouchable team

00:25:11of Money Incorporated and the model Rick Martel.

00:25:15Well, the only thing in favor of Tatenko right now is that

00:25:18this is a six-man tag and no way should he perform could he lose his undefeated status.

00:25:25Well, that is very, very true, but it would be humiliating

00:25:28for him to get his shoulders pinned down to the mat and lose for this team

00:25:33because I think they have a lot of promise as a six-man team.

00:25:36Martel, no.

00:25:39Martel, well, he's got that nice hold on him.

00:25:42They do have a lot of promise, of course.

00:25:44High energy with Tatenko.

00:25:46High energy right now.

00:25:47Very conspicuous by their absence, Alvin.

00:25:50They need to come in there.

00:25:51They need to get involved in this match.

00:25:54They certainly do.

00:25:55If this lumpy Indian absorbs too much more punishment, it'll be over.

00:26:00He's taken his lumps during this match.

00:26:02He certainly has.

00:26:04Nice move, though.

00:26:06He's got the leverage, but look, his legs are too short to reach the arms of DiBiase.

00:26:12Well, he didn't seem to stretch them out properly.

00:26:13They were a little too far spread apart, and I think that's what did that.

00:26:18But I still don't think he had the strength to trap DiBiase,

00:26:22even if he had accomplished that.

00:26:24There's a hold here right now.

00:26:25Take a lot of the starch out of you, that front face lock.

00:26:28Yes.

00:26:29As look at this, Tatenko working hard to get back to make the tag,

00:26:32but referee distracted by Erwin.

00:26:35He did not see the tag.

00:26:36He's not going to allow it.

00:26:37In the meantime, Tatenko's got his hands full.

00:26:41In the meantime, they've got Tatenko back in the corner,

00:26:44cleaning his clock some more for him.

00:26:47Good tag team tactics.

00:26:49This by the champions of Martel.

00:26:51That is the way you win tag team matches.

00:26:54Experience.

00:26:55Experience absolutely great.

00:26:57No substitute for it.

00:27:01Martel always with that big smile on his face.

00:27:04Well, he's a happy fellow now,

00:27:06because Tatenko is really on the wrong end of a lashing.

00:27:11Nice block.

00:27:11Two blocks of that attempted suplex and turns one over by himself.

00:27:16Now's the time to go tag.

00:27:18Tatenko would have been wiser to have saved that energy to tag out,

00:27:22not to try and register some sort of offensive action.

00:27:26Look at that.

00:27:27Jimmy Hart had to point out to Erwin exactly where the corner was.

00:27:31Did he make it?

00:27:33Referee says yes.

00:27:35And he certainly tagged the right man in.

00:27:37The Rocket Owen Hart.

00:27:39Diviace Hart into the corner backdrop.

00:27:42What a good one.

00:27:43Erwin comes in and gets clothesline.

00:27:49Oh, look at this.

00:27:50It's mayhem once again.

00:27:52All six men inside.

00:27:54Well, five now.

00:27:56And the referee now not in control,

00:27:58but still trying to establish some sort of control.

00:28:02Whether he'll do that or not, I couldn't tell you.

00:28:05I think the two legal guys are outside the ring, Alfred.

00:28:08The Rocket Owen Hart and Diviace.

00:28:10Well, I lost track of that, quite honestly, in all the excitement here.

00:28:14But look at this.

00:28:15Look at this from the outside.

00:28:17It's Erwin covering Coco, but they weren't the legal ones in the ring.

00:28:22Well, I don't know whether they were or not,

00:28:24but let's get the announcement on this.

00:28:27The team of the model Rick Martel and Money Incorporated.

00:28:34Well, I do believe the referee lost control of this one

00:28:38here in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

00:28:43But he did the right thing.

00:28:44The shoulders were down.

00:28:45He counted them.

00:28:46And you said it before, Gorilla.

00:28:48You said experience would win this match.

00:28:50And it certainly did.

00:28:52What great winners.

00:28:53Money Incorporated and the model.

00:28:57Can I help you, sir?

00:28:59Yeah, it's about time.

00:29:01I'm looking for a perfect stamp for my perfect stamp collection.

00:29:05Well, you've come to the right place.

00:29:06We have plenty of them here.

00:29:07I'll be the judge of that.

00:29:09Meanwhile, while we're looking for it,

00:29:11let's return to the action and see a personal profile on Toy Boy, Shawn Michaels.

00:29:17By the way, what were you doing in the back room?

00:29:20Gene Okudon here for Coliseum Home Video with this exclusive.

00:29:24A profile with the reigning Intercontinental Champ,

00:29:27two-time Intercontinental Champ of the World Wrestling Federation, Shawn Michaels.

00:29:31Shawn Michaels, you've had a number of great title defenses.

00:29:34We're going to be seeing some of them on this special video.

00:29:36You know, I heard it was really tough for Coliseum Video to narrow it down just to three.

00:29:41Because as you know, Gene, I've had so many, so many successful title defenses.

00:29:46You are so humble.

00:29:47Well, you know, it's not easy being, you know, with the chicks all over me and stuff, you know.

00:29:51But that's another story.

00:29:52Yeah, I manage, though.

00:29:53I manage.

00:29:54You know, let's talk about these title defenses.

00:29:56How about the one against the Ugandan giant, Kamala?

00:29:59I mean, what is this?

00:30:00The World Wrestling Federation think I'm some kind of zookeeper?

00:30:03I mean, this guy's an animal, and they put him into the ring with a stud like me.

00:30:07But being the kind of guy I am, the wrestler of the 90s, what happened, huh?

00:30:11Let's let the video speak for itself as we go to this Coliseum Video exclusive.

00:30:17The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the World Wrestling Federation

00:30:25Intercontinental Championship.

00:30:27Hello, everyone, and welcome to Fresno, California, for this Coliseum exclusive.

00:30:32Gorilla Monsoon along with his lordship, Alfred Hayes, as we look at the wrestler of the 90s,

00:30:39Alfred.

00:30:40He is indeed.

00:30:41I've waited a long time for this match.

00:30:43Because everybody has been saying that his opponent is going to take the title from him,

00:30:48and I don't see how that can possibly be done.

00:30:51Well, they also said it was going to be warm here in Fresno, and it's not.

00:30:55No, it's cold right there.

00:30:57I'm not exactly freezing to death, but it is a little cold, and a lot of water around, too.

00:31:02Reigning Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels with the title on the line here in Fresno,

00:31:09will certainly have his hands full.

00:31:12I believe he can rise to the occasion, Alfred.

00:31:15Oh, he can indeed.

00:31:16This man really has tremendous armament to call upon.

00:31:20He is a little conceited, but I think that goes with being skillful and clever the way he is.

00:31:25Whatever he boasts about, he certainly backs it up.

00:31:33The Reverend Slick leading the way down as the advisor for Kamala.

00:31:41I believe this is the one of the biggest opponents

00:31:48that Mr. Michaels has faced since becoming champion.

00:31:51Well, certainly, he is a big man.

00:31:54You're right, Gorilla.

00:31:55And he may be the biggest opponent that Michaels has faced, but he's also the biggest threat, too.

00:32:03But Slick has...

00:32:04And now...

00:32:05Go ahead, Alfred.

00:32:06I was going to say Slick has done a lot of boasting, though.

00:32:09Well, he's done a lot of improvement.

00:32:11He's taken this guy and showed him the path.

00:32:16Showed him that he's not an animal, that he's a man,

00:32:19and took him away from those other two beauties who were just destroying Kamala.

00:32:25Well, I thought they did a good job, quite honestly.

00:32:28I rather like Dr. Harvey Whippleman.

00:32:31You did?

00:32:32Yes.

00:32:33And I thought the other fellow, Kim Chee, although a strange person...

00:32:37What a piece of garbage Kim Chee is.

00:32:39I thought, what a nice chap.

00:32:40Oh, please, Alfred.

00:32:42Surely, you just...

00:32:47Well, there's the speed and the agility that's going to have to be

00:32:50used exclusively here by the champion.

00:32:54As we take a good gander at the Reverend.

00:33:00Good maneuvers, these, by Shawn Michaels, showing you how elusive he can be.

00:33:05He is so very, very good at that type of warfare.

00:33:10Suckered him in, look at this.

00:33:13Too innocent, too naive, the astounding African Kamala.

00:33:19Shawn's saying, put it here, pal.

00:33:23Slickster's saying, be careful.

00:33:27But look at the big guy, more than willing to shake hands.

00:33:31Oh, left, finds the mark.

00:33:35You're going to make the big guy mad, Shawn.

00:33:38Well, you see, that's what you should...

00:33:40Oh, gosh, what a beautiful move.

00:33:43Oh, there it is.

00:33:46Oh, he ran over him like a freight train.

00:33:52Shawn wants out of there, and I don't blame him.

00:33:55Now Kamala should go out and finish him off.

00:33:58This is where Slick should be telling Kamala, get out.

00:34:00He's saying, no, don't get out.

00:34:02Why would he say that?

00:34:03Well, I think he realizes, Alfred,

00:34:05that you can't win the title out there.

00:34:07It has to be a pinfall or submission

00:34:10that has to take place inside the ring.

00:34:12That's the only way that Kamala's going to become

00:34:14the Intercontinental Champion.

00:34:16That's very, very true.

00:34:17But why not soften him up on the outside,

00:34:19hit him with a chair or something?

00:34:20Certainly would seem like a good idea to me.

00:34:24Big bear hug by the big guy.

00:34:27Didn't hold onto it very long.

00:34:28He might've got a thumb in the eye there.

00:34:30He's certainly got a thumb in the eye just there.

00:34:31Oh, look at that.

00:34:32Oh, gosh.

00:34:35You didn't have your Wheaties.

00:34:38Michaels is a powerful young man, but not that powerful.

00:34:42There's a power display by Kamala,

00:34:46who right now is having a good time here in Fresno.

00:34:51We'll see how long it lasts.

00:34:52Oh, dangerous move by Kamala.

00:34:56We'll see how long it lasts.

00:34:58Oh, dangerously close to slamming the top of his head

00:35:02into an iron turnbuckle.

00:35:04Look at that quickness on the part of the champion.

00:35:08And now referring to anything he can

00:35:12to try to get by this guy.

00:35:13He has a very subtle mix of primitive

00:35:16and extremely skillful.

00:35:17I rather like that blend.

00:35:19He's sadistic, Alfred.

00:35:21Well, yes, he is that.

00:35:22He has sadistic tendencies.

00:35:24Yes, he does.

00:35:24You saw what he did to Sensational Sherry.

00:35:27Well, she deserved it.

00:35:28Oh, I think maybe she did too.

00:35:32The wench.

00:35:34Yes, she is a wench.

00:35:35Oh, look at that reverse thrust kick

00:35:38right in the kisser by Kamala.

00:35:42And that is why I call him the Astounding African,

00:35:45because if he wants to, he's got all the skills

00:35:47and he can turn them on and use them.

00:35:49Why doesn't he always do that?

00:35:52Lack of concentration, I guess.

00:35:54Look at those super, super moves.

00:35:57Even the champion, Bret Hart,

00:35:58would be proud of moves like that.

00:36:02Picks up Shawn like he weighs nothing.

00:36:06What's he going to do with him?

00:36:08I don't think he knows now.

00:36:09See, now he's lost.

00:36:10He's lost that concentration again.

00:36:12Oh, he just got rid of him.

00:36:14Yeah, but he couldn't think of anything better to do.

00:36:17Why didn't he drop him and cover him right there and then?

00:36:20He had him in a perfect position for a power slam.

00:36:23Could have became the Intercontinental Champion.

00:36:25Oh, Slick's got a lot more work to do with this man.

00:36:28Oh, look at this.

00:36:30Slick's the reverend being manhandled by Shawn Michaels,

00:36:34who looks like he's headed towards the locker room.

00:36:37He is, and I don't think that's a bad idea at this point,

00:36:40because Kamala has really been belaboring him.

00:36:43He's in a sad shape.

00:36:46Kamala's taken his toll upon this fellow.

00:36:50Oh, wow.

00:36:51Kamala caught up with him about halfway back and said,

00:36:54you're not leaving, pal.

00:36:55You're coming back with me.

00:36:57Well, why isn't the referee counting the bell?

00:36:59A free ride.

00:37:01I think I did hear a bell, mind you.

00:37:05What was that?

00:37:06Was that a bell or not, Gorilla?

00:37:07Did you hear a bell?

00:37:08Well, it was a bell I heard in the background.

00:37:10Wouldn't surprise me if both of these guys were counted out.

00:37:12No, I was keeping my eye there on what was happening with Shawn,

00:37:15because really he's in a lot of danger now.

00:37:18He could be really, really injured here and out of commission,

00:37:23and that would be a bad blow for the World Wrestling Federation.

00:37:26Oh, look out.

00:37:27Oh, Africa coming down.

00:37:30The match is over.

00:37:31Referee not obliged to count here.

00:37:33The reverend could come in the ring at any time he so desires,

00:37:37and he does, because this one is history.

00:37:41Well, I think that Slick has more work to do with this huge African Kamala.

00:37:45A lot.

00:37:46Yes, absolutely.

00:37:47He is an astounding fellow.

00:37:48He is great, but he has the makings of absolutely one of the best wrestlers of all time.

00:37:55You know, I was always under the impression, Alfred,

00:37:57that Slick could use a little help himself.

00:37:59I think so too, definitely.

00:38:01Look at him.

00:38:02He's just interested in getting a tie, a collar, and a nice jacket on.

00:38:06Whoa.

00:38:07Another beautiful shot by Kamala.

00:38:11And Shawn went over that top rope.

00:38:14Oh, he's gone.

00:38:15He's out of here.

00:38:16See now, that was absolutely brilliant on the part of Kamala.

00:38:20A superb shot.

00:38:21Timing was right.

00:38:23Delivery was right.

00:38:24And impact was absolutely astounding.

00:38:26But I don't see that.

00:38:29Is he going back to the ring again?

00:38:30I think he's looking for his gold, Alfred.

00:38:33Oh, he's spotted it now.

00:38:35Oh, he'd forgotten about it.

00:38:36At least his mind is clear.

00:38:39Well, I think that earlier on, it was a double count out here.

00:38:43And of course, everyone knows you can't lose the belt on a count out.

00:38:46But a moral victory, if nothing else, for that man right there, Kamala,

00:38:51who's given us a tremendous match on this Coliseum Exclusive.

00:38:56We'll be back.

00:38:59From one intercontinental title defense to another.

00:39:02That was not an easy battle, by the way, with Kamala.

00:39:04Well, I mean, the guy, like I said, is an animal.

00:39:06But you notice, what happened?

00:39:08Came out with the belt intact.

00:39:10You know, it's funny.

00:39:10As we're moving along here, we're slowly, but surely,

00:39:13almost making it to the Cro-Magnon stage here.

00:39:16What is this up next?

00:39:17Skinner? Who is this guy?

00:39:18Well, Skinner, of course, the great veteran from the Everglades.

00:39:20You surely cannot take anything away from Skinner.

00:39:22This man has competed for virtually every title in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:39:26Yeah, he's competed for him.

00:39:28He even competed for the intercontinental title.

00:39:29But Gene, same old story.

00:39:32Same old song and dance.

00:39:33What happened?

00:39:33Same old song and dance.

00:39:35Let's get up to that match and see how it all unfolded.

00:39:38Match in the USA continues here on Coliseum Video.

00:39:42Jim Ross, Macho Man, Randy Savage, and Bobby the Brain Heenan.

00:39:46And we're set for an intercontinental championship matchup.

00:39:50The man from the Florida Everglades, Skinner, will be the challenger in this one.

00:39:55And this guy is certainly one tough competitor.

00:39:59It's a bad-looking cowboy hat right there.

00:40:02He certainly doesn't go to the same Mad Hatter that outfits you, Macho Man.

00:40:07No, he's not.

00:40:08There's no gimmick infringement here, I'll tell you that right now.

00:40:12That hat needs to be blocked and cleaned, I would say.

00:40:15Maybe an alligator's taken a bite or two out of it.

00:40:18His ring attire is somewhat, well, basic, shall we say.

00:40:23Jim Ross, you know what's happening right here.

00:40:25Mike McGurk needs to be blocked and cleaned.

00:40:27Skinner came down the aisle.

00:40:28The weasel heard the music and everything like that.

00:40:31He didn't want to be skinned, so he was underneath the table.

00:40:34I don't know what he'll do.

00:40:35He is a rather unpredictable athlete.

00:40:42One of the great young stars in the World Wrestling Federation

00:40:46is the Intercontinental Champion.

00:40:48There you see him, a young man with great confidence, great physical skills.

00:40:53And I'm sure that he is more than ready for this challenge for his title.

00:40:57This could go either way, and I'll tell you why.

00:41:00First of all, I believe Shawn Michaels knows more basic wrestling than Skinner.

00:41:05Because he was tutored in the ring.

00:41:08He learned in the ring.

00:41:10Skinner is a fighter.

00:41:11He's an animal trapper.

00:41:13He's an alligator hunter.

00:41:15Skinner will bite a hole in you.

00:41:17I don't know if Skinner knows all the great wrestling moves like Shawn Michaels.

00:41:21Now, it's up to Shawn Michaels.

00:41:22Do you want that title?

00:41:23Do you want to hold on to it?

00:41:25Do you want that man to bite a hole in you?

00:41:27He'll do it.

00:41:29I agree with the weasel on this one.

00:41:31Opposites don't attract.

00:41:32This could be a situation where neither here nor there will be relative to who wins the match.

00:41:38I'm thinking that I would have to say I'm going to go with the fighter in Skinner.

00:41:43Skinner will take your ear off and hand it to you.

00:41:45But the only thing is, that doesn't win the title.

00:41:48No, it doesn't.

00:41:48You got to pin him or make him submit.

00:41:50It'll keep him from answering the phone a lot, though.

00:41:52Exactly.

00:41:53Jim Ross, what do you think?

00:41:55I think that they've locked up in a collar and elbow tie-up, and it's going to be quite a contest.

00:41:59One thing about Skinner, that he has the ability to absorb a great deal of punishment.

00:42:03That's because he's crazy.

00:42:07Look at that.

00:42:09Welcome to the Everglades.

00:42:12Skinner takes Michaels face first into the turnbuckle and opens up for the rights and lefts.

00:42:16Irish whip to the near side here.

00:42:18And Skinner scoops him up.

00:42:20And another high impact bloke slams him to the canvas.

00:42:22What a slam.

00:42:24Skinner, right hand.

00:42:25Oh, he caught him with a right hand.

00:42:28Big right hand.

00:42:29Savage, you may have something here.

00:42:31I think you've picked a winner.

00:42:32I think I picked the winner in Skinner, but I wouldn't invite him to dinner.

00:42:37You could be it.

00:42:38Exactly.

00:42:40You know what Skinner just told Shawn Michaels?

00:42:41Come on, punk.

00:42:43And Michaels quickly got back in the ring, waiting for Skinner.

00:42:47Strategically a sound move by Michaels, but the Irish whip again to the scyther ropes reverse.

00:42:51Michaels tries to counter.

00:42:54Michaels goes the aerial route, but it didn't pay off.

00:42:57You can't be fancy with Skinner.

00:42:59Nice try, but it didn't work.

00:43:02Skinner really, as Macho Man pointed out, came to fight in this one.

00:43:06And now he's biting the handsome features of young Shawn Michaels.

00:43:10I know what Skinner's thinking.

00:43:12Right over his trophy case.

00:43:14Can you see Shawn Michaels stuffed up on the wall?

00:43:19That's rather ludicrous, don't you think, Bob?

00:43:22I think he'd rather have Shawn Michaels stuffed in the belt.

00:43:25That's the mentality we're talking about.

00:43:28I do too.

00:43:28Or maybe garnished on a spit with an apple, cooking over flames.

00:43:32You don't know what this guy's going to do.

00:43:33He reminds me of some character from Deliverance or something.

00:43:36He's a little backwoods-ish.

00:43:38Instead of bashed in the USA, it should be stuffed in the WWF.

00:43:44Get up, punk.

00:43:45I like what Skinner's telling Shawn Michaels.

00:43:47A little bit of an intimidation thing.

00:43:49Skinner has him as a champion up on his shoulder now.

00:43:52He's dominated this match.

00:43:54And a shoulder breaker.

00:43:55More high-impact offensive wrestling.

00:43:59Lateral press.

00:44:00And a hole!

00:44:01About a half a count or less from a new intercontinental champion there.

00:44:05Not much offense on Shawn Michaels' part.

00:44:08Michaels again caught.

00:44:09Coming off the ropes.

00:44:10Goes back out to the floor.

00:44:12I think this whole unorthodox style by Skinner has caught Shawn Michaels by surprise, Weasel.

00:44:17Shawn Michaels, if Skinner's thinking goes the way he wants it to,

00:44:21could be a wallet and a belt.

00:44:22Well, Michaels has got to hope that Skinner can make a mistake here.

00:44:26Oh, right there.

00:44:28Michaels able to put on the brakes.

00:44:29Desperation.

00:44:30And Skinner struck the ring post.

00:44:32Desperation counts, too.

00:44:34Now, let's see if Michaels can capitalize on this situation.

00:44:38This has been the only time that Skinner has been slowed in this championship event.

00:44:43This is the moment of truth for Shawn Michaels.

00:44:45Can he make it happen?

00:44:47Michaels snaps the challenger's neck right off the top ring rope.

00:44:50Well, he's used the post.

00:44:52He's used the rope.

00:44:54Now he's using the bottom rope.

00:44:55He's taking advantage of everything to hold on to the intercontinental title.

00:44:58Why doesn't he try a wrestling hold?

00:45:00Well, he knows wrestling holds.

00:45:01It's just the beginning.

00:45:02He's just, he's pacing himself.

00:45:05There's a nice dropkick to the mush.

00:45:07Dandy dropkick by Shawn Michaels.

00:45:09Again, going to the air.

00:45:11Tremendous athlete Shawn Michaels is.

00:45:14Irish whip.

00:45:15No, it's going to be reversed.

00:45:17And Michaels, we try to put on the brakes.

00:45:19We try to put on the brakes.

00:45:20And Skinner caught him again.

00:45:22He got another right hand.

00:45:24What a tough customer.

00:45:26He popped him right in the face.

00:45:27And now those headbutts.

00:45:29Skinner's using his own body as a weapon here.

00:45:31Skinner just doesn't care.

00:45:34Skinner has looked extremely impressive in this event.

00:45:37Uh-huh.

00:45:38Almost got disqualified hitting the referee.

00:45:40You don't want to do that in a title match.

00:45:42Or any other time.

00:45:44Thumb right to the throat.

00:45:45Can you imagine him about three o'clock in the morning with the good old boys over at

00:45:48the bait shop?

00:45:49You don't think they get in some trouble?

00:45:51Have some fights?

00:45:52Michaels thrown over the top rope.

00:45:53Now he's in big, big trouble again.

00:45:56You know, you can't take Skinner fishing with you.

00:45:58Why is that?

00:45:59He eats the bait.

00:46:00That's sushi, isn't it?

00:46:02That's what they call sushi in Oklahoma.

00:46:03Look at this move by Shawn Michaels.

00:46:05Ooh.

00:46:06Oh, what a kick.

00:46:07That martial arts kick caught him in the face.

00:46:09He's hooked the leg.

00:46:10He got him.

00:46:10And he got him.

00:46:11Give him credit.

00:46:13What a fight that was.

00:46:14I want everybody to give him credit right there.

00:46:17Give me cash.

00:46:18A very hard-fought victory for Shawn Michaels, the Intercontinental Champion.

00:46:26But you got to take your hat off to the tenacious challenge of Skinner.

00:46:31He was all over the champion in this one.

00:46:33You're right, Jim Ross.

00:46:34I am going to take my hat off to both these competitors.

00:46:37What a match.

00:46:38And it's a match you haven't seen before ever because the styles were completely different.

00:46:43Bobby, were you impressed or unimpressed?

00:46:45I'll tell you in the morning, Shawn Michaels is going to know he's been in a fight.

00:46:50But he's got the title.

00:46:53All right.

00:46:54We have thus far seen a couple of great title defenses for the Intercontinental Champion,

00:46:58Shawn Michaels.

00:46:59The one against Kamada, definitely not easy.

00:47:01This was a real grinding job with Skinner.

00:47:05Yeah, you know, what are they throwing at me here?

00:47:06I feel like I'm at the zoo, not in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:47:09But eventually here, I think we're going to make it to the human stage

00:47:12where I finally defend my title successfully, of course, against a real human being.

00:47:17Well, here's a guy that is one of the most popular men in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:47:21And he finally had an opportunity to compete for the Intercontinental title.

00:47:26I'm talking about Virgil.

00:47:28Anything you thought about going into that match?

00:47:30Well, you know, I know Virgil has one real good asset to him.

00:47:36But, you know, I wasn't concerned about any of that.

00:47:38Virgil is used to being walked all over.

00:47:41Well, I just continued to do it.

00:47:43Well, those, of course, are the comments of the Intercontinental Champ.

00:47:45Without any further ado, let's get up to that match

00:47:48as Shawn Michaels defends the Intercontinental title against Challenger Virgil.

00:47:53The following contest is scheduled for the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental title.

00:47:58She's annoying.

00:48:01Yeah, we are.

00:48:02Mike McGurk did a good job ring announcing.

00:48:04What a voice.

00:48:05She's an Oklahoma young lady, you know.

00:48:07I can tell.

00:48:07Her dad was a very famous wrestler in his day.

00:48:10Leroy McGurk.

00:48:12So, she's a second generation participant in wrestling.

00:48:15Not a fifth.

00:48:16Here comes Virgil.

00:48:18The man with the fast hands and the fast feet will challenge

00:48:21for the Intercontinental Championship.

00:48:23Big opportunity.

00:48:24Macho man Randy Savage for Virgil.

00:48:27Absolutely.

00:48:28This is what he's been training for.

00:48:29This is what he's been working for.

00:48:31And Virgil, if you got it in you do it now.

00:48:38Like George Foreman with Nutrisystem.

00:48:41He's in great condition.

00:48:48The Intercontinental Champion.

00:48:51I've said it many times.

00:48:52He is certainly one of the spectacular young stars in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:49:02Very gifted athlete.

00:49:06And he's cocky.

00:49:07He's brash.

00:49:09He's conceited.

00:49:09He's stuck on himself.

00:49:11And he knows how to wrestle.

00:49:13And he's got the Intercontinental Title.

00:49:15He might be covering up an inferiority complex.

00:49:17I can never tell.

00:49:21I don't see any flaws yet.

00:49:23No, you're right.

00:49:24That title he's wearing around his waist doesn't say that he, uh, is just starting out either.

00:49:29Call him young.

00:49:30Call him anything you want.

00:49:31But call him a champion too.

00:49:36You like that song, Bury?

00:49:37Love it.

00:49:40I've heard it enough.

00:49:42Yeah, you can cut the music as far as I'm concerned.

00:49:46Cut that whistle too, even.

00:49:51Okay, that's it.

00:49:52Ow!

00:49:52Savage!

00:49:53Well, brother, I told you.

00:49:56It's more than a warning, dig it?

00:50:00Brother, do you understand?

00:50:01You all right, Bobby?

00:50:02Knocked my whistle.

00:50:03You want some oxygen?

00:50:05If I saw a fan, they'll be glad to give you some mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

00:50:09Mouth-to-mouth regurgitation.

00:50:11All right, well, we're ready to go here.

00:50:12And this one will be fast, I think.

00:50:14Both these athletes rely a great deal on their speed and quickness.

00:50:17Snapmare takeover.

00:50:18Nice move there by Shawn Michaels.

00:50:20Uh-huh, and he knows it too.

00:50:21And he's letting the whole world through body language know it.

00:50:25He does one thing I don't go for.

00:50:26It's very dangerous.

00:50:27He chews gum.

00:50:28That is very dangerous in there.

00:50:30It is dangerous.

00:50:31Well, you get a shot to the throat or something.

00:50:33You get hooked the wrong way.

00:50:35All you kids don't try this at home.

00:50:39Good drop toehold by Shawn Michaels.

00:50:43That's a little arrogant there.

00:50:44He's trying to frustrate Virgil here in the early going.

00:50:47I'll tell you what.

00:50:49That might turn out to be the thing that Shawn Michaels didn't want to do.

00:50:52But he loves to take the lead in psychology.

00:51:00Don't turn your back if you make someone mad.

00:51:04A good move there by Michaels into the hammerlock.

00:51:07And Virgil counters.

00:51:09You know, if you shut one eye and squint, Virgil looks like Michael Jordan a lot.

00:51:14Here goes the gum.

00:51:19And Virgil drives the right hand into Shawn Michaels.

00:51:27Shawn's timing seems to be a touch off.

00:51:30And Virgil got the drum kick right in his face.

00:51:33He may have it here.

00:51:34Lateral press.

00:51:35The leg is hooked.

00:51:36And a two and a half count.

00:51:37If you were to cover him just a split second earlier,

00:51:40that's the difference between winning a title and losing a title.

00:51:43You know, hitting him with that drop kick,

00:51:44all he had to do was after he drop kicked him,

00:51:46I mean, drop a quick elbow or a short knee on him,

00:51:48then hook the leg when he's got it.

00:51:50Would you say tights type situation?

00:51:52Well, hook whenever you have to.

00:51:53Right, well, possibly, maybe.

00:51:55Yeah, you're right.

00:51:56I would love to see Virgil do anything he could to win this match.

00:51:59Because I know Shawn Michaels is.

00:52:01Michaels back in control here.

00:52:03Whips Virgil to the far side.

00:52:05Virgil puts on the brakes.

00:52:06And Michaels trying to chase him.

00:52:09High cross body by Virgil.

00:52:10And another two count.

00:52:11Awesome maneuver by Virgil.

00:52:15Good agility by Virgil.

00:52:16And he tried to roll him up.

00:52:18Michaels held on.

00:52:19Kicked a taste right out of his mouth.

00:52:21Three points right to the uprights.

00:52:23From 52 yards away too.

00:52:26Bill Franklin couldn't have blocked that kick.

00:52:28Man, that was a kick right to the face.

00:52:31Shawn Michaels knows he hit a home run on that one.

00:52:34Devastating.

00:52:35He can take all the time in the world right now.

00:52:42Michaels now back in control.

00:52:44Virgil's fighting to get up though.

00:52:46He's got a lot of determination does the challenger as

00:52:50the champion takes Virgil back to the turnbuckle.

00:52:53Every time Virgil seems to get a little advantage,

00:52:56Michaels turns the table on him.

00:52:58That's why he's the champion.

00:53:00Virgil's got spunk.

00:53:02Michaels, standing drop kick.

00:53:04Great athletic move.

00:53:05Look at his body.

00:53:06His body's limp.

00:53:07Virgil's body's limp.

00:53:08Shawn could have him here.

00:53:09He's wasting too much time.

00:53:12See?

00:53:13He could have him.

00:53:14He's playing cat and mouse.

00:53:17Certainly don't want to give Virgil too many second chances.

00:53:20Snap Baron to the reverse chin lock.

00:53:21You don't want to give anybody in the World Wrestling Federation too many chances because

00:53:25it's not over till it's over.

00:53:28You know who said that?

00:53:28Yogi the Bear.

00:53:30Yogi the Bear.

00:53:31Another almost by Bobby the Brain Healer.

00:53:35Sorry, number eight from the pinstripes, Yogi Bear.

00:53:38Number eight pinstripes.

00:53:41You're kidding.

00:53:41Virgil's got pinstripes.

00:53:43Number eight pinstripes.

00:53:45I know what team that is.

00:53:46What's that?

00:53:47Houston Oilers.

00:53:47Oh, wow.

00:53:48Is he dead?

00:53:50He's passed.

00:53:51You can tell he's a great tennis player.

00:53:54He is.

00:53:54He's a great tennis player.

00:53:57Great tennis player.

00:53:57He is.

00:54:00Now we got him distracted.

00:54:01Champion holding on to that reverse chin lock.

00:54:03But Virgil trying to fight back up.

00:54:05And he does.

00:54:07You know how I got in this?

00:54:08I took my lump lumps.

00:54:10Yeah.

00:54:11Lucky deal for you, right?

00:54:14Michaels tried the hip lock, but it's countered.

00:54:16Virgil hooks both arms.

00:54:17Can he get the champion over?

00:54:18Yes, he does.

00:54:19One.

00:54:20Another near fall.

00:54:20Got two out of it.

00:54:21But he should have drove.

00:54:22Oh, Michaels.

00:54:23Michaels up so quick.

00:54:25So quick with that close line.

00:54:28Shawn Michaels knows he made a mistake,

00:54:29but he doesn't care.

00:54:31Because he can react to his mistakes quicker than anybody can

00:54:34when they're not making a mistake.

00:54:36Shawn Michaels is a veteran and a young guy all at the same time.

00:54:39You're right about that, Savage.

00:54:41And remember another thing.

00:54:42You're sitting home right now watching this great action

00:54:45on Bachelor USA, courtesy of Coliseum Video.

00:54:48But there's nothing like going to the building.

00:54:51Nothing like going to an arena.

00:54:53Nothing like seeing these superstars in action.

00:54:55It's our hottest ticket in time for World Wrestling Federation.

00:54:59Great sports entertainment for the whole family.

00:55:01The World Wrestling Federation, as Michaels measures Virgil

00:55:04in this Intercontinental Championship matchup.

00:55:06The foot right to the face, viciously.

00:55:09The champion back in control.

00:55:11Just like you said, total family entertainment, right?

00:55:14You can even bring the dog.

00:55:16That's so McGregor has something to do with intermission.

00:55:20Man, I wouldn't have said that.

00:55:23Why would you? I did.

00:55:25This place is electric right now.

00:55:27You can tell that there's an Intercontinental title going on right here.

00:55:31And Virgil, something like that, if he can cover him and hook a leg,

00:55:36you never, never, never know.

00:55:38I would love if Virgil won the title,

00:55:40I would jump over that top rope and raise his hand.

00:55:42And how about you, Eden?

00:55:43Would you raise his other hand?

00:55:45Well, I want to see if Virgil wanted me to handle his money for him.

00:55:50Virgil catches Michaels coming in.

00:55:52The challenger has got to get back on the attack.

00:55:55And he clotheslined him from behind.

00:55:57He got him good.

00:55:58Remember that slap Shawn gave him earlier in the match

00:56:01when he was just being the boy toy?

00:56:03I bet he wishes he could take that back.

00:56:05The momentum seems to be turning now.

00:56:07And the challenge in favor of those stinging laughs

00:56:09by Virgil has Michaels almost on dream street.

00:56:12And a big right hand.

00:56:13And Michaels goes down.

00:56:15Don't walk around, Virgil.

00:56:17Virgil, you're right.

00:56:18He's covered him.

00:56:19He may have him.

00:56:20Two and a half.

00:56:21Bobby Eden's right.

00:56:22Don't walk around.

00:56:23Don't float.

00:56:24It's not over.

00:56:24You don't know what you're up against.

00:56:26If you're going to walk around, fine.

00:56:27But have your feet on his face while you do it.

00:56:30Head and shoulder fake.

00:56:31Good move by Virgil right there.

00:56:32Now make it happen.

00:56:33Virgil caught him in the clothesline.

00:56:35He's got him.

00:56:35I believe he's got him.

00:56:36He can have him right here.

00:56:37One, two.

00:56:38And a two and three quarters.

00:56:41What am I cheering for?

00:56:42I don't care who wins.

00:56:43I'm going to tell you something.

00:56:43Give the referee credit.

00:56:44He's down there every time a count happens.

00:56:47And he's not late.

00:56:48Oh, Virgil missed him in the corner.

00:56:51Michaels with a suplex.

00:56:54Michaels with that suplex planted Virgil.

00:56:58Don't waste time, Michaels.

00:56:59Hook him.

00:57:00Hooks the leg.

00:57:01One, two, and three.

00:57:02Michaels wins it.

00:57:03What a capacity crowd.

00:57:05It just seems John Michaels won it here.

00:57:08And still the Intercontinental Champion.

00:57:12Unbelievable.

00:57:13That is WWE action at its finest.

00:57:17You can tell yourself right now the boy toy.

00:57:19He took his time.

00:57:21Even that little split second covering Virgil.

00:57:23But this time it didn't hurt him.

00:57:25He got the pin.

00:57:26He got the win.

00:57:27He's got the title.

00:57:29And man, oh man, oh man.

00:57:31Virgil almost had him, but he didn't get him.

00:57:34Virgil has been bashed in the USA.

00:57:37Coming up a little sore in his Intercontinental Championship challenge.

00:57:44Great victory for Shawn Michaels.

00:57:46In all his glory.

00:57:47Oh, yeah.

00:57:48With that successful title defense against challenger Virgil,

00:57:52Shawn Michaels remains the Intercontinental Champion of the World Wrestling Federation.

00:57:57That's the professional side of your life, Mr. Michaels.

00:57:59But what about this much talked about social aspect?

00:58:03Well, you know, I sort of like to keep that under wraps, you know.

00:58:06But it's obvious.

00:58:07Chicks dig me, you know.

00:58:08What do you mean you have to keep it under wraps?

00:58:09I think it's a well-known fact.

00:58:11You were seen in various clubs all over the country, all over the world with young companions.

00:58:17Chicks, chicks, call them what they are.

00:58:19Chicks, dames, you know, same old story.

00:58:21But you know, when you look like Shawn Michaels, I mean, to go unnoticed is virtually impossible.

00:58:28I know I have that same problem sometimes.

00:58:30I thank you very much, Shawn Michaels.

00:58:31With this Coliseum...

00:58:32Hold it.

00:58:33Is that a telephone?

00:58:34The chicks are banging at the door, I'm sure.

00:58:35I got number one.

00:58:36Okay.

00:58:38They're going to let him out.

00:58:39Very good.

00:58:39I thank you, Shawn Michaels, Intercontinental Champ here at the World Wrestling Federation

00:58:44with this Coliseum video exclusive.

00:58:48Don't even think of showing me anything that's been hinged, even if it's mint.

00:58:53Let's start off right with some jumbo super superb margins.

00:58:57My sir, you certainly do know your philately.

00:59:00Of course, I'm a perfect collector.

00:59:02And now let's go to this 40-man over-the-top rope battle royal.

00:59:06Bring me the good stuff, will you?

00:59:08Bash in the USA continues here on Coliseum video.

00:59:11Jim Ross, Macho Man Randy Savage, and Bobby the Brain heaning back with you.

00:59:15And gentlemen, this one is going to be really something.

00:59:19A 40-man over-the-top rope battle royal.

00:59:23And the ring has been reinforced, and we'll see these 40 competitors make their way to the ring.

00:59:28Usually it's a 20-man.

00:59:30I've heard of 25-man battle royals.

00:59:32Never heard of a 40-man battle royal.

00:59:34Are you sure you got your paperwork right?

00:59:36Yeah, it says 40-man battle royal.

00:59:38We can count them as they come to the ring.

00:59:40Well, I've got one so far.

00:59:42Shawn Michaels coming to the ring.

00:59:43So we got 39 to go.

00:59:45He's doing good, Ross.

00:59:47One in a row, I've got it covered.

00:59:49Here's the hit man, Bret Hart.

00:59:50I would have to say I'd have to give him the number two.

00:59:52Bret, the hit man, Hart.

00:59:59Here they come.

01:00:00They're Sergeant Slaughter.

01:00:02Three, two, one.

01:00:04Tatanka!

01:00:06Tatanka!

01:00:08Oh, Matador.

01:00:10Matador, Tito, Tantana.

01:00:12I've lost count.

01:00:14You gotta help me now.

01:00:16Virgil!

01:00:18The Texas Tornado!

01:00:20Barry Horowitz!

01:00:22Jim Powers!

01:00:24Kato!

01:00:26The T-Rex!

01:00:28Jim Powers, Cato.

01:00:34And the Repo Man slithering to the ring.

01:00:36The Bimbo McGurk missed the Repo Man.

01:00:39Skinner.

01:00:43Skinner.

01:00:45Repo Man.

01:00:48See, she got it.

01:00:49She's on the money.

01:00:50Dale Wolf.

01:00:52The Brooklyn Brawler.

01:00:54You know, I can't blame these guys, but they look reluctant to go to the ring.

01:00:58Well, you know, maybe they didn't know it was a 40 man.

01:01:01Maybe they just thought it was an average battle royal.

01:01:06How is the ring going to hold 40 WWF superstars?

01:01:10Well, as I said, they reinforced the ring.

01:01:16Check out the Iron Sheik.

01:01:22There's that crush.

01:01:27Kurt Spears.

01:01:29Some of these guys certainly are long shots in this one,

01:01:32but what a feather in their caps it would be

01:01:34for some of these relatively unknown athletes to win this thing.

01:01:38Well, you know, you can become an instant star just like that, Ross.

01:01:41You manage to last through one of these.

01:01:44The word gets out all over the World Wrestling Federation.

01:01:48This man won a 40 man battle royal.

01:01:50Exactly. Look at these two guys.

01:01:52The Another Man and IRS.

01:01:56But you can't have a favorite here because anything can happen here.

01:02:01Beverly Brothers, the Nasty Boys.

01:02:03And there's more on the way.

01:02:08Check out the LOD.

01:02:11I'm going to have to go with LOD on this one.

01:02:14I believe they'll work as a team.

01:02:16Did they threaten you before you went on the air or something?

01:02:18Well, they did mention to me to be nice and kind to them with what I say.

01:02:21Well, I'm the last kind of a guy to upset somebody.

01:02:23You're upset at me right now.

01:02:25I apologize for that. I don't want to really upset you, Mr. Savage.

01:02:28I don't want you apologizing me to the whole bastard in the USA.

01:02:31Look at this.

01:02:32What a family picture this would make.

01:02:34Yeah.

01:02:37Lot of beef. Where's the beef? It's in the ring.

01:02:39In the squared circle. Oh, my gosh.

01:02:41See, this is so dangerous.

01:02:42All you got to do is blindside a guy.

01:02:44You can tear a guy's knee up.

01:02:46You can hit a guy from behind.

01:02:47You can take their legs out, hurt their back.

01:02:49I mean, this is so dangerous.

01:02:51And to be eliminated, you have to go over the top rope to the floor.

01:02:55Well, you're blindsiding somebody.

01:02:57Somebody's blindsiding you.

01:02:58Exactly.

01:02:5940 men starting, but only one will survive this 40-man battle, Royal.

01:03:04Quite a physical ordeal here.

01:03:06We'll try to call the action as we can.

01:03:09Can you believe that Irk Quake is...

01:03:11Is he gone?

01:03:13He's close to being gone.

01:03:14He's gone.

01:03:15I can't believe it.

01:03:16He's, I guess, one of the biggest men, if not the biggest man in there.

01:03:19He's gone, too.

01:03:20The two biggest guys have been eliminated.

01:03:22Those would be the guys that I would pick to win the whole 40-man battle, Royal,

01:03:26if I had to be nailed down to a prediction.

01:03:28But I know what happened.

01:03:29Some of these guys that you don't give a chance to probably got together in there

01:03:32and said, hey, guys, the only way we can survive, we got to get the beef out.

01:03:36We got to get that big man out first.

01:03:38Then it'll be every man for themselves.

01:03:40And so far, it's working.

01:03:41I would have gotten rid of Typhoon and Irk Quake.

01:03:43I don't doubt that that's not true.

01:03:46My next stop would be Legion of Doom.

01:03:48Get rid of them.

01:03:49Then I'd go with Crush.

01:03:50Can I tell that little D you said that?

01:03:52No, I was saying that's what Ross told me.

01:03:54Wait a minute.

01:03:55Hey, don't get Ross involved in this.

01:03:56You're the one that told me that.

01:04:00I'm going to tell him anyway, anyhow.

01:04:04Check this mass of bodies out.

01:04:07Nobody in jeopardy right now.

01:04:09Everybody's basically vertical.

01:04:11There's really nowhere to go unless you get knocked over the top.

01:04:13There's not hardly anywhere to fall.

01:04:15And Ron Pemberledge is eliminated.

01:04:18I believe that's the young man's name.

01:04:20Is that right?

01:04:21I was going to say the unknown soldier.

01:04:25They're beginning to be weeded out, so to speak.

01:04:37Repo Man holding on there, as you can see,

01:04:39in the near side of the ring.

01:04:41Over the top, but not to the floor right there.

01:04:43And I think that he's got new life for somebody.

01:04:47The smart way to win something like this is

01:04:50you just stand back.

01:04:52Let everybody eliminate each other.

01:04:54And when the guy's not looking,

01:04:56then you'll waffle him from the back.

01:04:58Repo could win this.

01:04:59He could sneak around, come out on top of this.

01:05:02Right on the 2 o'clock in the morning,

01:05:04when everybody's out of the building,

01:05:05you run in and say you won.

01:05:07Talking about you've got to take a chance

01:05:09sometime in your life.

01:05:11If there's no guts, there's no glory.

01:05:13There's a 40-man battle royal.

01:05:15You can't be careful in something like this.

01:05:17Sure, there's blocks against people.

01:05:19But go for it.

01:05:20One time in your life, do the thing.

01:05:22Look at the hit man in there.

01:05:23He's right in the middle, and he could be sabotaged

01:05:26and plotted against, but he's in there.

01:05:29The young man eliminated.

01:05:31The young man eliminated.

01:05:33Remember, you've got to go over the top rope

01:05:35all the way to the floor.

01:05:39L.O.D. Hawk just came off the top of the punch.

01:05:42Is that taking a chance?

01:05:44There he goes again.

01:05:46Or do you think L.O.D. Hawk is stupid?

01:05:48He's just going up and down.

01:05:50He's not gaining any altitude.

01:05:52He's not jumping into the middle of the ring.

01:05:54He's pretty safe in what he's doing.

01:05:56In other words, he's not taking enough of the punch.

01:05:58He's just going up and down.

01:06:00He's not gaining any altitude.

01:06:02He's not taking enough of a chance.

01:06:04Well, I mean, what I'm trying to say is

01:06:07he's setting him up for the big one later.

01:06:09I know what he's doing now.

01:06:11Have you ever thought about Bobby being a politician?

01:06:13Nah, why would I want to take a pay cut?

01:06:19The last thing I want is to be president,

01:06:21take a pay cut, live in a bad neighborhood.

01:06:26Check out this El Matador getting inbound.

01:06:31Remember, you've got to go over the top to the floor

01:06:33to get eliminated.

01:06:34Just over the top, if you can hang on

01:06:36and slither on back into the ring like a weasel,

01:06:38you can stay in the battle royal.

01:06:41I mean, just look at the credentials that are in there.

01:06:43Slaughter, former WWF champion.

01:06:46Exactly.

01:06:47Brad Hawk.

01:06:48Uh-oh, there goes Hawk, L.O.D.

01:06:50Oh, Hawk and...

01:06:51Cheap shot by Sash.

01:06:52...Sash and the Nasty Boys,

01:06:53and they're going to continue their fight out here.

01:06:57They're hammering each other here on the outside.

01:07:00While the action continues in the ring...

01:07:02I knew Hawk wouldn't win it.

01:07:04You said right, even though you predicted him at the beginning.

01:07:08Oh, you vacillate a great deal, don't you?

01:07:10Not only that, he changes his mind.

01:07:19You can see now that some men trying to use some teamwork

01:07:22that Beverly Brothers were trying to get.

01:07:24Both those are trying to get to El Matador over the top rope.

01:07:27Skinner's not looking good right now, of course.

01:07:30He didn't look good when he came down the aisle.

01:07:34You know, those mosquitoes will bite the heck out of you

01:07:36at night there in the Everglades.

01:07:40Larger Slaughter, a veteran survivor,

01:07:43still hanging tough in there.

01:07:46Shawn Michaels is smart enough to win this one.

01:07:48He's clever enough.

01:07:51Who's the biggest man left in there, Crush?

01:07:54I would think so, yeah.

01:07:56Or Slaughter.

01:08:00Well, they're an animal, too.

01:08:02Several 300-pounders still remain in this 40-man

01:08:06and shrinking battle royal.

01:08:08Shawn Michaels is not in a real, real, real good position right now.

01:08:13Kind of the crossroads of this 40-man battle royal status.

01:08:17Upside-down type of situation.

01:08:20Remember, he's got to go all the way to the floor.

01:08:23Animal.

01:08:24Has Animal been eliminated or what?

01:08:26What happened? I didn't see it.

01:08:27Yes, he has.

01:08:28I think Animal and Knobs are both eliminated,

01:08:30as we saw earlier.

01:08:32Sags and Hawk.

01:08:33A little man may win this battle royal.

01:08:37Some of the big ones are being eliminated.

01:08:39Can't believe the natural disasters from Florida.

01:08:41You've still got a couple of times right in the ring now

01:08:44and a couple of times have already left.

01:08:48Somebody just went over the top on the far side.

01:08:51And on the near side as well.

01:08:57Donnie, you went over the top.

01:08:58Is that right?

01:09:00I believe you're right.

01:09:02This one is hard to call.

01:09:03There's so much activity.

01:09:07You know, there's no one who's setting a real fast pace.

01:09:09Everybody's watching what everybody else is doing.

01:09:11Just when you said that, Heenan,

01:09:13they started a real fast pace.

01:09:15Well, they're making a mistake.

01:09:16That's not the way I would do it.

01:09:17There's no time limit in this matchup.

01:09:20So, time is really not a factor.

01:09:22And Shawn Michaels again in jeopardy

01:09:24at the hands of Owen Hart, the Rocket.

01:09:26Shawn Michaels living on the edge.

01:09:38See, the teams like IRS and DiBiase,

01:09:41they've got to get together.

01:09:44Nasty should have got the win.

01:09:47Nasty should have got together.

01:09:49LOD should have got together.

01:09:50If you can find your partner in this mass of bodies.

01:09:53Well, when you get in the ring, you go to the corner.

01:09:55You grab the ropes with your arms, the top rope,

01:09:57and you just stay there.

01:09:59You know every shortcut in the book, don't you, Brain?

01:10:01I know every...

01:10:03He knows how to defend himself in a cowardly manner.

01:10:05Yes, he does.

01:10:06Repo Man just eliminated.

01:10:10Uh-oh.

01:10:11Kerry Von Erich over the top.

01:10:16Tremendous athlete.

01:10:17Kerry Von Erich, a tremendous athlete.

01:10:20And a great guy.

01:10:26Crushed.

01:10:27Oh, look what we got here.

01:10:29Some unfamiliar surroundings.

01:10:33Beverly Brothers three-manion tag team.

01:10:37Beverly Brothers three-manion tag,

01:10:39as do Money, Inc.,

01:10:41of the regular tag team partners.

01:10:45See now, Coco, he's in a bad position there.

01:10:48He's standing on that second rope.

01:10:49He could be dumped very easily.

01:10:51He's not gonna be able to dump the man he's punching

01:10:54while he's on the second rope

01:10:55and the guy's standing on the mat.

01:10:56That's stupid.

01:11:01See, when one of those guys had Shawn Michaels up in the air,

01:11:04almost had him out,

01:11:05what you gotta do is you gotta get behind that guy

01:11:07and dump him.

01:11:08Then you get two of them out at once.

01:11:09Well, that's what happened with Shawn Michaels

01:11:11and Bret the Hitman Hart, both eliminated,

01:11:13but they're not through fighting.

01:11:17These two rivals hooking it up here.

01:11:20Even though both have been eliminated

01:11:22from the Battle Royal, they're...

01:11:23There's the emotion right there

01:11:25because neither one of those guys,

01:11:27they realize right now at the time

01:11:29that they're fighting each other,

01:11:30they cannot win the 40-man Battle Royal.

01:11:33Skinner has been eliminated as well.

01:11:36And two of the finest in the...

01:11:38Whoa!

01:11:39Look at Shawn take off.

01:11:40Not a bad 40-yard dash time.

01:11:42Oh, no, I know what... I know what happened.

01:11:45Somebody else just got eliminated.

01:11:47Gary Horowitz over the top of the other side.

01:11:49He didn't know what happened.

01:11:50Shawn was expecting a phone call.

01:11:51He told me he'd be right around this time.

01:11:53They must have called him something.

01:11:55Will you ever tell the truth?

01:11:56Me? You?

01:11:57Of course I will.

01:11:58Ask me anything.

01:11:59Even when he lies, he tells the truth.

01:12:04Beverly's working over Virgil here in the corner.

01:12:07If Beverly's know what to do,

01:12:08they're working as a tag team.

01:12:10I'm gonna go with the Beverly's.

01:12:12Oh, you're changing your mind again.

01:12:13I guess you have to.

01:12:14Your original pick has been eliminated.

01:12:16Sgt. Slaughter over the top.

01:12:19Sgt. Slaughter.

01:12:21Is that the top of his head?

01:12:22Is that the top of his head or the weatherman?

01:12:25That was the top of his head.

01:12:28Jimmy Powers,

01:12:30a tremendous athlete himself.

01:12:34Beverly's in IRS.

01:12:37The two tag teams,

01:12:39Colonel Mustafa kind of wandering around aimlessly.

01:12:43Maybe that's the strategy.

01:12:44Crush, one of the last big guys right here.

01:12:46Yes! Yes!

01:12:48Big disappointment right there.

01:12:50Big disappointment for Crush

01:12:52on his way to the top right there.

01:12:54Well, it's, you know, that's,

01:12:56that's World Wrestling Federation.

01:12:57That's being bashed in the USA.

01:12:59And he is not the winner of the 40-man battle.

01:13:02Colonel Mustafa eliminated.

01:13:05Colonel Mustafa can march back to the locker room.

01:13:10I think we got ten guys left.

01:13:12What do you think?

01:13:13Well, look at the Beverly's.

01:13:14They're just pacing themselves.

01:13:15They're walking around.

01:13:16They're getting a look at what's going on.

01:13:18Good cheap shot from behind.

01:13:20Oh!

01:13:21Beware when airborne.

01:13:23The Birdman can fly.

01:13:25The air beneath his wings just gave out.

01:13:29Uh-oh, backwards.

01:13:31Oh, man, Virgil, come on.

01:13:33Virgil holding on to the top rope with a death grip.

01:13:36Somebody went over the top of the other side.

01:13:38Did you catch it, Jim Ross?

01:13:39I missed it, Macho Man.

01:13:40I couldn't see what...

01:13:41What have you caught?

01:13:42Well, I caught a little virus from the brain,

01:13:45but that's not important.

01:13:47You caught a cold from me.

01:13:53Attention seeker.

01:13:55Attention seeker.

01:13:58Who just went over the top right there?

01:14:00Tom Stone went through the ropes.

01:14:02He didn't go over the top.

01:14:03He didn't go over the top?

01:14:05No, he's still alive.

01:14:07Yeah, you're right.

01:14:08Of course I'm right. I'm the brain.

01:14:10You're the brain, of course.

01:14:11I shouldn't have doubted that for a second.

01:14:13Now he went through again.

01:14:15Is that his strategy right there?

01:14:17Is that your protege?

01:14:18No, but it's a good idea.

01:14:20Now go under the ring and wait.

01:14:22You can listen.

01:14:23You can't tell how many people are in there walking around.

01:14:25Cato's eliminated there.

01:14:27Well, it's time for Cato to go home now.

01:14:29Bobby Heenan, the brain's prediction of the Beverly Brothers.

01:14:33Ibiasi and Virgil both go over the top.

01:14:35Who's left? Who is left?

01:14:37Beverly Brothers are in there.

01:14:39Bobby Heenan's pick.

01:14:40Now Tom Stone's over the top.

01:14:43Oh, here we go.

01:14:45IRS of Beverly's and Tatanka, the four remaining men.

01:14:49You got to think Tatanka's at a distinct disadvantage,

01:14:52but he is really cooking here.

01:14:54Better cook.

01:14:56Better hope he doesn't chop himself out either.

01:14:59I think the fire went out on that pot of stew.

01:15:01Well, I have to agree with you.

01:15:03Three on one here.

01:15:04See, what you do here, they got to regroup.

01:15:07They got to get together, IRS, the Beverly's, and say,

01:15:10this is our plan.

01:15:11I disagree.

01:15:12And then go do that, and then Beverly's turn on IRS.

01:15:15What a valiant effort on Tatanka,

01:15:17even though you never say never.

01:15:19Hey!

01:15:21Bo Beverly up and over the top.

01:15:23Bo Beverly eliminated.

01:15:25I still got one Beverly.

01:15:26I said the Beverly's would win it.

01:15:28Well, I'll tell you what, give Tatanka credit,

01:15:31because he didn't give up.

01:15:32Man.

01:15:34Double clothesline.

01:15:35Nobody expected Tatanka to eliminate one of those three guys,

01:15:38and now they're just Tatanka and IRS

01:15:41and one of the Beverly Brothers right there.

01:15:44So Tatanka, man, it's a moral victory if nothing else.

01:15:47Wow, what happened there?

01:15:49IRS is out.

01:15:50IRS is out, but Blake Beverly coming onto the top rope.

01:15:55Nail them.

01:15:56What are you waiting for?

01:15:57Tatanka chops him all the way to the floor.

01:15:59I told you Tatanka would win it.

01:16:01You did not.

01:16:02Yes, he's undefeated.

01:16:03I knew it.

01:16:04I didn't want him to win, but I knew he would.

01:16:06Give him credit.

01:16:07Don't let the heathen.

01:16:08He's the winner of the battle royale.

01:16:09He's the winner.

01:16:10Tatanka!

01:16:13Tatanka wins the 40-man battle royale.

01:16:17Can I pick him?

01:16:18Can I pick him?

01:16:19Weasel, you're not reigning at Tatanka's parade right here.

01:16:22You picked everybody else but Tatanka.

01:16:24Tatanka came back, and he did it, and he went against it all on.

01:16:30That's exactly right.

01:16:31You've told an untruth again, Weasel.

01:16:34Me?

01:16:35You.

01:16:36Just congratulate Tatanka, Weasel.

01:16:42Sir, I've shown you all of our most perfect stamps.

01:16:44Take this one, for example.

01:16:46And a two-cent magenta, worth about $2 million.

01:16:48Oh, yeah?

01:16:49Yeah.

01:16:50Let me have a closer look at that.

01:16:51What?

01:16:52Excuse me.

01:16:53Excuse me.

01:16:54I just want a closer look at it.

01:16:55Hold on.

01:16:56Oh, close crop borders.

01:16:58A smudge?

01:17:00Hey, this has been canceled.

01:17:02Excuse me.

01:17:03Excuse me.

01:17:04Hey, don't worry about it.

01:17:05It's no good.

01:17:06You know, Bret Hart is a great wrestler inside the ring.

01:17:08He's also a great artist, and in this next feature,

01:17:11we're going to find out just what I'm talking about.

01:17:13Now, get me something that's worth something.

01:17:19I often get a lot of requests from people

01:17:21that want to get a little more in-depth look

01:17:23at what it's like being the Hitman,

01:17:25or things that I like to do,

01:17:26or what I like to do to take away,

01:17:29kill time in the dressing room, stuff like that.

01:17:32Generally, I'm kind of quiet and conservative and reserved.

01:17:36That's my word, reserved.

01:17:39I try not to worry and keep myself relaxed as much as possible

01:17:43until match time comes.

01:17:45Generally, in the dressing room, I don't have a great sketch pad

01:17:50or a great set of pens or anything to work with,

01:17:53but I like to draw.

01:17:54Sometimes, even if it's a piece of chalk or just a pencil

01:17:57or just a scrap of paper and stuff, I can draw cartoons.

01:18:02I'm not really a great landscape artist or a painter or anything,

01:18:05but I like to draw cartoons.

01:18:07I love wrestling, of course, and I'm very good at it,

01:18:09but that's my job.

01:18:11Something that I've always loved to do all my whole life

01:18:15since I can remember is draw cartoons.

01:18:17So I'll draw you a few cartoons of some of my friends

01:18:23and some of my enemies in the WWF.

01:18:27The first one I'll draw is The Undertaker.

01:18:37The Undertaker

01:19:07The Undertaker

01:19:31Sometimes when you draw another wrestler,

01:19:34you've got to expand on their ugly features.

01:19:37If they've got a big nose, you've got to draw them with an even bigger nose.

01:19:40A lot of times in the dressing room,

01:19:42wrestlers will see these cartoons that I draw,

01:19:45and a lot of them really take offense to them.

01:19:47Money Inc.

01:20:03Two in particular that I find really hate my cartoons

01:20:08and have commented on it several times are Money Inc.,

01:20:12so I'm going to draw Money Inc. for you real fast.

01:20:17Money Inc.

01:20:48Contrary to what anybody will tell you,

01:20:51I think everybody's good at something.

01:20:54It's hidden somewhere deep down inside everybody.

01:20:58There's a hidden gift, something very special that everybody can do.

01:21:03No matter who you are out there, especially kids,

01:21:06you've got to really know this,

01:21:08because I really believe this with all my heart,

01:21:10that everybody is good at something.

01:21:12It doesn't matter what it is.

01:21:15Maybe you're going to be a painter.

01:21:17Maybe it's photography. Maybe it's dancing.

01:21:19No one really knows.

01:21:21Sometimes you don't even know yourself what it is,

01:21:23and one day you're just going to stumble upon it,

01:21:25and you're going to realize, geez, I really like to paint.

01:21:27I really love to draw cartoons.

01:21:30Don't ever stop looking,

01:21:32because everybody deep down inside has a gift hidden inside themselves,

01:21:37and you've just got to find it.

01:21:44Ladies and gentlemen,

01:21:46the following contest is scheduled for one fall,

01:21:49and it is for the World Wrestling Federation

01:21:54Intercontinental Championship!

01:21:56What a sick looking little dweeb he is.

01:21:58Howard Finkle, a dweeb?

01:22:00Do you agree with me?

01:22:01I do not agree with you.

01:22:02Coming down the aisle is the challenger

01:22:05from Cocoa Beach, Florida,

01:22:08weighing 234 pounds,

01:22:11the middle, Rick Martel!

01:22:15What do they know about fashion?

01:22:17They keep you in a bad sweetheart.

01:22:19Martel, the challenger for the Intercontinental title here.

01:22:27Certainly not a very popular figure.

01:22:29If that wasn't his fan club, there are no words.

01:22:32But the model is a very, very great wrestler.

01:22:36Nice beret there, Brain. Maybe you'd look good in that.

01:22:38I like berets.

01:22:39And he's got that arrogance and cologne.

01:22:41It's that Pepe Le Pew look.

01:22:43Pepe Le Pew. Pepe Le Pew.

01:22:45Did he used to be the Mater D?

01:22:48I thought, uh...

01:22:49No, that's a different place.

01:22:52This is the elevation for the champion here.

01:22:59Here we go.

01:23:00Rick Hitman!

01:23:05Rick the Hitman Hart, a second-generation wrestler.

01:23:09Son of the legendary Stu Hart.

01:23:12And anybody that can survive the dungeon,

01:23:14the basement, the hard home,

01:23:16is one tough son of a gun.

01:23:17I don't think he was gonna make it to the ring right there.

01:23:19The fans loved him, and, uh...

01:23:21I'd love to have a bunch of little girls

01:23:23come up and kiss me in the cheek

01:23:24and then go wash all that peanut butter and jelly off your face.

01:23:27I don't think you have to worry about that.

01:23:29No, I don't.

01:23:32Rick the Hitman Hart.

01:23:34Did you mean that derogatory?

01:23:36Of course not.

01:23:37No, he was complimenting you.

01:23:38Okay.

01:23:39Look at the model.

01:23:40Look what kind of condition the model is in.

01:23:45He is certainly physically ready

01:23:47for this championship encounter.

01:23:50It's a goodbye, Mr. Hart.

01:23:52Not necessarily so vast in the USA.

01:23:55This is a big one.

01:23:56It's for the Intercontinental title.

01:23:58And look at this.

01:23:59This is what I like the most about him.

01:24:01Look at that.

01:24:02He gives back to the people.

01:24:04Uh-huh.

01:24:05Lucky, lucky, lucky.

01:24:08What a souvenir for that young fan.

01:24:10All right.

01:24:11She'll remember that forever.

01:24:13See, if the father's smart,

01:24:15he should tell her,

01:24:16I'll keep it for you.

01:24:17Then at Christmas, give it to her.

01:24:18She'll think she came from her dad.

01:24:20It works all the time for me.

01:24:21Yeah, Christmas in your family must be real, real special.

01:24:24It is. You should see what they give me.

01:24:26Side headlock takeover by the Intercontinental champion.

01:24:28Nice counter move by Rick Martel.

01:24:31And both these athletes extremely well-versed

01:24:34in their mat skills as far as technique is concerned.

01:24:40Another takedown and another counter.

01:24:42They both have about the same amount of experience,

01:24:44same size, same knowledge of the sport.

01:24:47And they're both wearing pink.

01:24:49I think Brett has about, oh,

01:24:51two or three more quarts of oil in his hair than Martel.

01:24:54So we have a difference between the two competitors

01:24:57thanks to the weasel pointing it out.

01:24:59Oh, Brett's is 48.

01:25:01Stiff knees to the midsection by the challenger.

01:25:04Brett has the belt and Martel doesn't.

01:25:07Oh, a cartwheel.

01:25:08I'll give it a six and a half.

01:25:10That's agility.

01:25:11I'll give it a ten.

01:25:12Got to hand him that.

01:25:15Hit man came to wrestle,

01:25:17not do a gymnastics.

01:25:20Wrist lock applied by the model Rick Martel.

01:25:24Turns into a hammer lock.

01:25:26Martel looking very crisp with his counter wrestling thus far.

01:25:32Hard trying to reach for that near leg.

01:25:34When he did reach for the leg,

01:25:36that put more pressure on his shoulder right there.

01:25:38But what a counter to the counter.

01:25:40Nice counter move into the hammer lock

01:25:42by Brett the Hitman Hart.

01:25:45And again, Martel puts on the brakes.

01:25:49Cartwheel does come into work.

01:25:51Oh, another clothesline.

01:25:53There was another cartwheel outside the ring.

01:25:55Yes, there was.

01:26:01Martel got nailed right in the face on that one.

01:26:04That's not going to help his modeling.

01:26:06Well, he's very concerned about that,

01:26:08having his teeth loosened or his nose broke

01:26:10or his eyes swollen.

01:26:12Let me tell you something.

01:26:14He's in the wrong profession.

01:26:16Certainly is, but he's good at what he does.

01:26:18He's won it all over the world.

01:26:20In Paris, in London.

01:26:22Let's turn him in then.

01:26:24No, he's won it.

01:26:26They want him to be a fashion model.

01:26:28Here he goes to the post.

01:26:30He took him all the way to the steel

01:26:32that Brett the Hitman Hart.

01:26:34The turning point of the match thus far.

01:26:36Hart with a headbutt now.

01:26:38And both these men, quite frankly,

01:26:40are in danger of being counted out.

01:26:42Hart throws Martel back in,

01:26:44and Hart back up on the apron,

01:26:46but Martel there to meet him.

01:26:48That was a good veteran move by Rick Martel.

01:26:51See, sometimes you don't know.

01:26:53Martel could have set himself up

01:26:55and let Bret Hart throw him back in,

01:26:57so when Bret Hart got in,

01:26:59he was right there for the pickings.

01:27:01You never know what's going through another wrestler's mind.

01:27:03Whip to the far side here.

01:27:05At this time, Martel introduced again

01:27:07to the steel crowd.

01:27:09He introduced again to the steel ring post.

01:27:11May have set Bret in his shoulder there.

01:27:15Right hand by Bret Hart,

01:27:17the Intercontinental Champion.

01:27:19Now applies the wrist lock to Rick Martel.

01:27:21Modified armbar takedown.

01:27:23Savage, how do you prepare yourself?

01:27:25If you know a month down the road,

01:27:27you're gonna be wrestling the Hitman.

01:27:28What do you do?

01:27:29I'll tell you something right now.

01:27:31You can't prepare for hitting the steel post

01:27:33two times like the model has.

01:27:35I'll give him all the credit in the world

01:27:37down that armbar.

01:27:39I didn't answer your question,

01:27:41but I'll tell you right now,

01:27:43the model is all that you say that he is.

01:27:45He's a definite challenger,

01:27:47a great challenger

01:27:49to the Intercontinental title.

01:27:51Now whether he can take it is another thing.

01:27:53Well, he has to weigh two situations.

01:27:55You want to win a match,

01:27:57you want to be WWF Champion,

01:27:59or do you want to be on the cover of GQ?

01:28:01You can't do both.

01:28:03You can't.

01:28:05This Intercontinental Championship matchup...

01:28:07Oh, excellent!

01:28:09Pinning for Dickinham got a near fall,

01:28:11two count out of it.

01:28:12Arm drag takeover into the armbar

01:28:14by Bret the Hitman Hart.

01:28:15Great quickness by the champion.

01:28:17Now that's the mark of a good wrestler.

01:28:18You go back to what got you to the dance.

01:28:20You've been working that arm, you go back there.

01:28:22Whenever you see a wrestler go back to the hold

01:28:24he started with, usually he knows what he's doing.

01:28:26He'll work on that part of your body.

01:28:28Exactly. The model's arm's got to be hurt.

01:28:30You know, if he worked on the leg now,

01:28:32worked on the other leg, worked on the other arm,

01:28:35well, they'd all be sore, but they'd all feel probably the same

01:28:37and they'd all wouldn't have that much damage done.

01:28:39But I don't care how tough you are.

01:28:41If you only got one arm, pretty hard to fight.

01:28:43You talk a great fight, man.

01:28:45If you could do what you say you can do in the ring,

01:28:48you'd be a world champion.

01:28:50Well, I never liked being in the ring.

01:28:52I never liked having some 300-pound moron

01:28:55with sweaty hands trying to pick me up in the air

01:28:57and try to throw me around.

01:28:59I'd rather beat a guy in my mind and make a fool out of him.

01:29:01Another nice arm drag takedown

01:29:03by Bret the Hitman Hart, who is focusing now

01:29:05on the upper arm and shoulder of Rick Martel.

01:29:08Very sound strategy by the Intercontinental Champion.

01:29:11Well, he knows. He threw him into the pose twice

01:29:13and he took it on his right arm.

01:29:15Now he's working on the left arm.

01:29:17He's not rushing is what you're saying, Weasel, right?

01:29:20That's right. He's taking it in weasel.

01:29:22That's what he said, weasel.

01:29:24Why would he call you that, Ross?

01:29:26I think he was referring to you.

01:29:28Ooh, man!

01:29:30Vertical body press, and Martel made an adjustment there.

01:29:33He knew where he was.

01:29:35He drove the champion into the top ring rope,

01:29:37and that's a steel cable inside that casing.

01:29:40And now Martel, the blatant choke hold,

01:29:43trying to take more of the oxygen away from Hart.

01:29:46That's all right. He's desperate right now.

01:29:48I don't blame the model right there.

01:29:50I was just gonna say that the Hitman's got a lot of poise

01:29:52slowing down the match after the model hit that steel post twice,

01:29:55but the model turned things around.

01:29:57I'm telling you, the model, Rick Martel,

01:29:59is a force to be reckoned with right here.

01:30:02He could take the title.

01:30:04Sure could.

01:30:06How many athletes have their sights set

01:30:09on the Intercontinental Championship?

01:30:11And can you imagine the way he dresses

01:30:13with the fashion he has and the beautiful shoes and clothes?

01:30:16Can you imagine with that Intercontinental title around the waist?

01:30:19That would be the topping on that tree.

01:30:21Icing on the cake.

01:30:23I don't know. I'm afraid the model, Rick Martel,

01:30:25might retire after he won the title.

01:30:27I don't think he would be a competitive champion,

01:30:30a fighting champion like the Hitman Hart.

01:30:34Martel with the reverse chin lock,

01:30:36controlling the tempo here.

01:30:38He has regained his advantage

01:30:40in this Intercontinental Championship matchup

01:30:42here on Bashed in the USA.

01:30:44Thanks for being with us here on Coliseum Video.

01:30:46Both men back up to a vertical base,

01:30:48and it's another right hand by Martel.

01:30:50Irish with far side, and sunset flip.

01:30:53And he knows!

01:30:55Oh, half a count away.

01:30:57Savage, have you wrestled either of these men?

01:30:59Yes, I have.

01:31:01Tell me the differences.

01:31:03Well, I can't tell you the difference,

01:31:05because they're the same in the respect

01:31:07that I have ultimate respect

01:31:09for each and every one of these guys,

01:31:11which is just too...

01:31:13Lateral press.

01:31:15These guys are not 300-pounders.

01:31:18They are super athletes.

01:31:20They are fast. They have speed. They're quick.

01:31:22They have a sense of where they are in the ring

01:31:24at the time that they're there.

01:31:26Would you rather wrestle a 300-pounder

01:31:28or a person the size of the Hitman or the model?

01:31:30Well, in the World Wrestling Federation,

01:31:32you've got to be ready to wrestle anybody at any time.

01:31:35Martel trying to put him away here on the outside.

01:31:37A maneuver! But Bret Hart got his knees up,

01:31:39and he drove them deeply into the abdomen

01:31:41of the challenger.

01:31:43See, that's what I was saying.

01:31:45Bret Hart wasn't in a whole lot of trouble.

01:31:47He set Martel up for that move.

01:31:49No, he didn't. It was a high-risk maneuver,

01:31:51and Bret Hart, the Hitman,

01:31:53just, uh, did what he had to do

01:31:55at the time that he could do it,

01:31:57and sometimes it doesn't work.

01:31:59Just an instinct, then. Instinct is the word.

01:32:01Right there. Good adjustment.

01:32:03Counter by Bret Hart.

01:32:05Tried to roll him up, but Martel held on.

01:32:07Hart in... Ooh, inverted atomic drop!

01:32:09But that'll change your social plans.

01:32:11What a clothesline there

01:32:13by the Intercontinental Champion.

01:32:15What a match.

01:32:20Irish whip far side here.

01:32:22Grip the Hitman Hart.

01:32:24Getting back in control.

01:32:26Side Russian leg sweep by Hart.

01:32:28Lateral grip. This could be it.

01:32:30And he got 2 1⁄2. Again, another near fall.

01:32:32Give the model credit.

01:32:34Boy, he's fighting for his life in there.

01:32:36Inside cradle.

01:32:38Hart's got him tied up. Hook!

01:32:40How did he get out of that one?

01:32:42Great resiliency by the challenger, Rick Martel.

01:32:44You just know. Don't just have it sometimes.

01:32:46You don't always hear the refs count.

01:32:48You know how long you're down.

01:32:50You don't know if he's got you hooked.

01:32:52You're kicking all the time.

01:32:54It's just instinct. You get out of half.

01:32:56That's exactly right.

01:32:58I'll tell you, what it is is what it is.

01:33:00And sometimes it's your advantage,

01:33:02and sometimes it's not.

01:33:04Bret Hart now, the master of the sharpshooter.

01:33:06Uh-oh.

01:33:08Tremendous submission maneuver.

01:33:10Oh, the referee got knocked down.

01:33:12Oh, his knee went out on him.

01:33:14No, he didn't. The model grabbed him on the way over.

01:33:16And the model grabbing that fragrance can.

01:33:18Home run. Back, back, back, back, back, back, back.

01:33:20That's out of here.

01:33:22I'm afraid of what happened just then.

01:33:24We're gonna see a new champion.

01:33:26The referee looks puzzled. He didn't see it.

01:33:28Don't tell me he didn't see it.

01:33:30Oh, yes.

01:33:32Martel trying to turn the champion over,

01:33:34perhaps until Boston grabbed him.

01:33:36What's this? Shawn Michaels is coming down the ringside.

01:33:38Shawn Michaels here at ringside.

01:33:40I don't get it.

01:33:42The model's got a victory right here.

01:33:44I don't understand.

01:33:46He's got the Boston Crab.

01:33:48A submission maneuver.

01:33:50Hitman's got to get to the ropes.

01:33:52I think Shawn's just...

01:33:54Oh, no.

01:33:56He's cost the model the match.

01:33:58Shawn Michaels attacking a helpless Bret Hart

01:34:00has just cost, I would think,

01:34:02Rick Martel

01:34:04the Intercontinental Championship.

01:34:06He's not aware of what he's done.

01:34:08He just wanted to get his hands on the Hitman.

01:34:10The model thinks he's won the title.

01:34:12What the heck are you doing?

01:34:14Martel is incensed.

01:34:16That's the way it is in the WWF.

01:34:18There are no friends.

01:34:20Here go the egos.

01:34:22You can see it right now.

01:34:24False friends and true enemies.

01:34:26Bret Hart is still

01:34:28the Intercontinental Championship,

01:34:30but there are fireworks here

01:34:32with Martel and Michaels.

01:34:34Boy, was Martel jobbed on this one.

01:34:36Well, I'll tell you something.

01:34:38Right before Shawn hit the Hitman,

01:34:40the Hitman did do a push-up.

01:34:42Now, I'm not saying that he would've got out of that hole.

01:34:44I don't think he would've.

01:34:46I have to say what I saw.

01:34:48I don't understand.

01:34:50The winner of this bout,

01:34:52as a result of a disqualification,

01:34:54and still

01:34:56Intercontinental Champion,

01:34:58Rick Hitman.

01:35:02I feel sorry for the model,

01:35:04Rick Martel, right here.

01:35:06Bret Hart retains

01:35:08the Intercontinental Championship,

01:35:10but not without controversy.

01:35:12Is your ear ringing?

01:35:14Answer it.

01:35:18The following tag team contest

01:35:20is scheduled for one fall.

01:35:22Led to the ring by their manager,

01:35:24The Genius.

01:35:26Weighing a combined weight of 486 pounds,

01:35:28unhailing from

01:35:30Shaker Heights, Ohio.

01:35:32Here are Bo and Blake,

01:35:34The Beverly Brothers.

01:35:36Tag team action here on

01:35:38Bash with the USA,

01:35:40The Beverly Brothers.

01:35:42Led by their manager,

01:35:44The Genius, to the ring.

01:35:46The Genius has an IQ of over 250.

01:35:48And now, ladies and gentlemen,

01:35:50The Genius.

01:35:52Jim Ross, along with Macho Man,

01:35:54Randy Savage, and Bobby the Brain Demon.

01:35:56A natural disaster as well.

01:35:58And now, ladies and gentlemen,

01:36:00Jim Ross, along with Macho Man,

01:36:02Randy Savage, and Bobby the Brain Demon.

01:36:04Natural disasters will be coming down the aisle

01:36:06to eradicate the Brothers Beverly.

01:36:08The best laid plans of mice and men

01:36:10will sometimes go awry.

01:36:12And The Genius knows the best is yet to be.

01:36:14Hey, that's great.

01:36:16Wish I had a book of this stuff.

01:36:18And their opponents.

01:36:20Making their way toward the ring

01:36:22at a combined weight

01:36:24of 852 pounds.

01:36:26Here are

01:36:28Earthquake and Tiger.

01:36:30A natural disaster.

01:36:32A natural disaster.

01:36:34These guys right here

01:36:36are not just the biggest guys

01:36:38in the damn room.

01:36:40They are the name of the movie.

01:36:42The last house on the left.

01:36:44These two big guys, a walking battle royal

01:36:46when it comes to a combined weight.

01:36:48Well over 800 pounds.

01:36:50I wonder, I wonder

01:36:52if that's right.

01:36:54I think it's closer to 900 pounds.

01:36:56This time, not every time.

01:36:58I'm pretty sure of that.

01:37:00And there's the bell. We're ready to go here.

01:37:02There is

01:37:04Bolt Beverly.

01:37:06His brother, Blake.

01:37:08And they're trying to gain

01:37:10an early advantage on these two big monsters.

01:37:12And that may be a good strategy,

01:37:14gentlemen. That's what I'd do.

01:37:16And if it didn't work, I'd leave.

01:37:18That's about your only

01:37:20choice against these guys.

01:37:22A do-si-do

01:37:24and a double clothesline.

01:37:26Some heavy clotheslines

01:37:28by the Natural Disasters.

01:37:30Leave. That's your best move.

01:37:32I'd get out of there.

01:37:34Natural Disasters using their bulk

01:37:36and their mass to their advantage here.

01:37:38Massed in the USA.

01:37:40And that's exactly

01:37:42what the Beverly Brothers are experiencing

01:37:44at this point in time here

01:37:46on Coliseum Video.

01:37:50I think that's what the Beverly Brothers are doing.

01:37:52Massed in the USA.

01:37:54It's not yet.

01:37:56It's gonna happen now.

01:37:58The earth will move here,

01:38:00you gotta believe. Ever been rear-ended

01:38:02on the interstate?

01:38:06The Beverly Brothers not being able

01:38:08to get out of the blocks offensively

01:38:10as the Natural Disasters have really

01:38:12asserted themselves here.

01:38:14Nothing but a high-impact,

01:38:16almost methodical-like

01:38:18offensive movement by this big team.

01:38:20Hoop slam by Typhoon.

01:38:24It's hard to imagine

01:38:26until you see these guys in person

01:38:28just how big they really are.

01:38:30How tall would you say they are?

01:38:326'6"? 6'7"?

01:38:34They're big men.

01:38:36Also see our purple and white

01:38:38and blonde here being thrown

01:38:40all over the place.

01:38:44Typhoon.

01:38:46Manhandling Beverly.

01:38:48And Beverly makes a U-turn.

01:38:50Smartest move of the night.

01:38:52Behind you, behind you.

01:38:54He can't hear me.

01:38:56He can feel that clothesline.

01:38:58At least he had one shining moment.

01:39:00That was getting over the top rope

01:39:02and heading south.

01:39:04Oh, right there.

01:39:06That scroll.

01:39:08Oh, Beverly just nailed

01:39:10Typhoon from behind.

01:39:12And that may give Blake

01:39:14Beverly the opportunity.

01:39:16That's an advantage like that.

01:39:18It may be illegal, but it makes sense.

01:39:20I mean, you're really wrestling four guys in there

01:39:22if you think about it.

01:39:24They signed the contracts.

01:39:26They knew what they were getting in for.

01:39:28This was not a mystery match.

01:39:30You gotta get the natural disasters

01:39:32off their feet.

01:39:34You're not gonna match strength and size

01:39:36with them standing up.

01:39:38You gotta get them down and cut off their wind.

01:39:40That's what they're doing right now

01:39:42is cutting off Typhoon's wind.

01:39:44Yeah, a little extra leverage

01:39:46cutting off his wind.

01:39:48You know, when Typhoon retires,

01:39:50we can take him to a park

01:39:52and let kids ride him for a while.

01:39:54He got two out of him.

01:39:56Still got power left.

01:39:58He does indeed have a great deal

01:40:00of power left, but...

01:40:02That wouldn't be a bad idea.

01:40:04What's that?

01:40:06Take Typhoon to a park and let kids ride him for a while.

01:40:08Why don't you negotiate that deal in his retirement?

01:40:10You're just the guy that can probably talk him into it.

01:40:12A theme park.

01:40:14Beverly Brothers double teaming,

01:40:16but not for long.

01:40:18Typhoon's not ready to retire yet.

01:40:20I don't think so.

01:40:22Earthquake anxiously awaiting the tag,

01:40:24but the Beverly Brothers are keeping Typhoon

01:40:26in their part of the ring.

01:40:28Snap mares him over.

01:40:30Does Bo Beverly and drops the leg

01:40:32right across his face.

01:40:34And a knee

01:40:36driving right to the chest.

01:40:38A will, please.

01:40:40Come on!

01:40:42Typhoon doesn't look

01:40:44like a real bad storm now,

01:40:46does he?

01:40:48Looks like he's under control.

01:40:50More tag team.

01:40:54Tell you what, if he doesn't go there

01:40:56to make the tag, this could be a Beverly Brothers

01:40:58victory.

01:41:00Best in the USA, Beverly Brothers.

01:41:02Wouldn't that be an upset?

01:41:04They've separated

01:41:06Big Typhoon from his partner,

01:41:08and worse in the center of the ring, lateral press

01:41:10won't get him there.

01:41:12But you can see that it seems to me

01:41:14that Typhoon is beginning to wear

01:41:16down a little bit.

01:41:18A little bit, to say the least.

01:41:20Oh, he's missed his 2 o'clock feeding.

01:41:22I could be serious

01:41:24for these guys right here because

01:41:26man, they are a force

01:41:28in the World Wrestling Federation

01:41:30and best in the USA.

01:41:32Yes, they are. They're doing a Beverly Brothers

01:41:34fashion right

01:41:36up to now.

01:41:38He needs to keep Big Typhoon

01:41:40down, and Typhoon works his way back

01:41:42up to a vertical base.

01:41:44See, there goes the right again.

01:41:46A great right for kids, and 2 bucks for adults.

01:41:48Have a senior citizen night,

01:41:50have everything.

01:41:52You're always thinking, aren't you?

01:41:54You don't have to feed him much, just some hay.

01:41:56Tag's made, Bo Beverly in.

01:41:58Would Typhoon make any money during this deal, Heenan?

01:42:00No, but he could eat a lot of hay and he'd get to meet

01:42:02a lot of nice kids and old people.

01:42:04It's worth it for him. What else is he gonna do?

01:42:06It's reversed, but nobody there.

01:42:08Beverly used his quickness

01:42:10to avoid the contact of Big Typhoon,

01:42:12and Typhoon certainly needs to make a tag here.

01:42:14Sure does, but at least he's got

01:42:16a little bit left. He made a real good effort

01:42:18right there, but it just didn't pay it out.

01:42:20Solid kicks to the ribs by

01:42:22Paul Beverly.

01:42:24The secret to the National Disasters team is

01:42:26they have to make quick tags.

01:42:28They can't be in there too long at any one time.

01:42:30Whoa!

01:42:32That trip to the dentist may be

01:42:34upcoming for Bo Beverly as Typhoon

01:42:36now has neared to his corner

01:42:38as he has been tag made on the Beverly side.

01:42:40And a tag made, yes,

01:42:42on the National Disaster side.

01:42:44Here comes the earthquake.

01:42:46Bo Beverly's

01:42:48saying, give me a break.

01:42:50He's up on me.

01:42:52Boom! The earthquake

01:42:54is well rested.

01:42:56Bear hug into

01:42:58a little bit of suplex. He could have him here

01:43:00with a lateral press, and

01:43:02the Beverly's help each other there

01:43:04to interrupt the count.

01:43:06Well, it's a tag match. They can do that.

01:43:10Awful slam by Earthquake.

01:43:12It may be now just a matter

01:43:14of time. Drops the vicious elbow,

01:43:16and once again

01:43:18Bo Beverly comes in

01:43:20to interrupt the count.

01:43:22I wouldn't sit there and hope.

01:43:24Exactly. Earthquake's on the prowl.

01:43:26Earthquake

01:43:28drives the elbow to the back of

01:43:30Blake Beverly's head. The Natural Disasters

01:43:32have firmly reasserted themselves here

01:43:34with their power

01:43:36offensive attack, and he says

01:43:38it's over.

01:43:40There's his signal.

01:43:42He's gone for the Richter scale.

01:43:44Let's see what he measures

01:43:46on this one. I'll say a

01:43:48seven. All right.

01:43:50Beverly rolling out of the ring.

01:43:52Who's the genius? I think one of the

01:43:54Beverly Brothers is the genius.

01:43:56Look at this.

01:43:58By far, manhandling the genius

01:44:00there. Earthquake

01:44:02Now, there's no reason for that. What are we going

01:44:04after the genius for? Well, the genius went around

01:44:06to his corner. Well, he said something to him. He didn't

01:44:08Oh! Wow.

01:44:10Right out here on the floor,

01:44:12and the referee's gonna call for

01:44:14the bell. We'll have to see what the

01:44:16decision is here.

01:44:18Natural Disaster disqualified, I bet.

01:44:20Here are your winners as a result

01:44:22of a count out. The

01:44:24Beverly Brothers!

01:44:26Oh, the Beverly Brothers with a big

01:44:28victory here on

01:44:30Fast and the USA via count out.

01:44:32You're happy, but you're wrong about that

01:44:34because it was instigated by the genius

01:44:36going over there as a desperate

01:44:38maneuver and the Natural

01:44:40Disasters in Fast and the

01:44:42USA.

01:44:44I think you're right.

01:44:46I think you're right, Macho Man. I think

01:44:48it was a premeditated plot out of

01:44:50desperation, shall we say.

01:44:52Wait a minute. Wait a minute, you two.

01:44:54Who won the match? The Beverly

01:44:56Brothers, Bobby. That's all we need to know. Thank you very

01:44:58much.

01:45:00Sir, I really don't know how I can help

01:45:02you. I think I've shown you almost everything

01:45:04we have. This is supposed

01:45:06to be the largest stamp store in the world,

01:45:08and I haven't found anything that's

01:45:10perfect. But speaking of large,

01:45:12how about this next matchup between

01:45:14Yokozuna and the Undertaker?

01:45:16Hello, everyone,

01:45:18and welcome to San Antonio, Texas

01:45:20for this Coliseum exclusive.

01:45:22Gorilla Mom's

01:45:24symbol of his lordship, Alfred

01:45:26Hayes, here in the home

01:45:28of the Alamo.

01:45:30Take a

01:45:32look at this hunk of humanity,

01:45:34Alfred. Yes, absolutely.

01:45:36An American

01:45:38shrine, the Alamo, and these two

01:45:40fellows here, they go down to

01:45:42the Oriental Shrine, and they pray

01:45:44that this man will become

01:45:46the future World Wrestling Federation

01:45:48champion. And you know something, Gorilla?

01:45:50I think that could possibly be a

01:45:52reality.

01:45:54Well, if they would have had him at the

01:45:56Alamo, they might have won.

01:45:58Yes.

01:46:00I don't think that fellow, what was his name?

01:46:02The Mexican general

01:46:04would have ever invaded the Alamo there.

01:46:06Santana, I believe

01:46:08it was. Santana? Yes.

01:46:10Not Tito Santana.

01:46:12He'd have won by himself, Tito Santana.

01:46:14Look at those

01:46:16two lovely girls there.

01:46:18Lovely geishas presenting the

01:46:20flowers to the big guy.

01:46:22Gorgeous

01:46:24looking little girls there.

01:46:26I would imagine

01:46:28they're Japanese.

01:46:30Intense look on

01:46:32that youngster's face

01:46:34as she looks at the humongous

01:46:36shape of the 500 pound

01:46:38plus Japanese

01:46:40star.

01:46:42You know,

01:46:44it is very, very

01:46:46difficult for the mind to encompass

01:46:48how devastating this man is

01:46:50unless you come to some of

01:46:52these matches and watch him in

01:46:54action, in actual person.

01:46:56But if you go to an arena, I'm

01:46:58sure this man here will

01:47:00absolutely shock you. You should

01:47:02go and see him. Absolutely. Nothing like

01:47:04being there live.

01:47:06And his opponent

01:47:09led to the ring

01:47:11by Paul Bearer.

01:47:22Here is

01:47:24The Undertaker!

01:47:28Paul Bearer leading the way down

01:47:30for The Undertaker

01:47:32in the ominous

01:47:34turn.

01:47:36No other wrestler's presence

01:47:38has an effect upon an

01:47:40audience, a gathering of

01:47:42mass humanity than this fellow.

01:47:44He really sends a

01:47:46shiver and a thrill at the same

01:47:48time through everybody.

01:47:50You really tingle when you

01:47:52see this man.

01:47:54Look at him.

01:47:56Not at all

01:47:58showing

01:48:00any signs of emotion.

01:48:02Well, I don't think he knows what The Undertaker's

01:48:04all about, Alfred. Do you think

01:48:06for one moment that Yoko

01:48:08Tsuna knows what the

01:48:10Grim Reaper means? I don't.

01:48:12Probably not. Do you think Mr.

01:48:14Fuji would ever tell him about The Undertaker?

01:48:16Absolutely not. No, he wouldn't prepare

01:48:18him in that way.

01:48:22What a confrontation

01:48:24this is gonna be, and you're

01:48:26getting it all here on

01:48:28this Coliseum exclusive.

01:48:30Well, the feeling

01:48:32in this arena is

01:48:34absolutely electric. It's

01:48:36alive at the moment, and

01:48:38neither of these men come into

01:48:40contact with each other yet.

01:48:42In fact, they have yet to disrobe.

01:48:48Nice shot there by our number

01:48:50seven handheld right over

01:48:52the salt bag.

01:48:54The salt

01:48:56pail of Yoko Tsuna.

01:48:58Of course, that salt used to drive away

01:49:00evil spirits.

01:49:02Unfortunately, it'll take more than that

01:49:04to drive away The Undertaker.

01:49:06I think so. You know, we were looking

01:49:08at the inscrutable face of the East,

01:49:10then, but how about the inscrutable

01:49:12face of the West? The

01:49:14Undertaker. He takes a lot of

01:49:16reading, too, does he not? Oh, absolutely.

01:49:18Hard to tell what goes

01:49:20through that mind.

01:49:24What did you say that was, a cookie barrel?

01:49:26Salt. Oh, salt barrel.

01:49:28Salt.

01:49:30Ceremonial salt? Ceremonial salt.

01:49:32Of course, it wouldn't surprise me

01:49:34if Yoko took a lick now and then.

01:49:36A lick of the salt?

01:49:38Oh, that's very good. I like that. Very

01:49:40good. The salt lick. You know how those big cows have

01:49:42those salt licks laying out there in those

01:49:44fields? Yes. Once in a while, they go over

01:49:46and put their big

01:49:48ten-inch tongue on there and take a lick.

01:49:50Well, he looks

01:49:52more like a big bull in the field

01:49:54than a big cow.

01:49:56Most of the ringsiders

01:49:58just got their allotment of salt

01:50:00in their diet for the next year.

01:50:02Now, I think the Undertaker ought to take

01:50:04some ashes out of that urn and

01:50:06sprinkle them on Mr. Fuji. If, in fact,

01:50:08that's what's in there, Alfred.

01:50:10You know, I asked Bobby DeBriene Heenan on a number

01:50:12of occasions, the so-called

01:50:14broadcast journalist,

01:50:16to find out what's in that urn, but

01:50:18to no avail. Well, there's something

01:50:20mightily peculiar

01:50:22inside that urn because the

01:50:24Undertaker draws a lot of force from that.

01:50:26Later on in this match, I'm sure you'll

01:50:28see that man, Paul Bearer, offering

01:50:30the urn in the

01:50:32direction of the Undertaker.

01:50:34He looks at that and turns on

01:50:36the energy. If there was an edge

01:50:38to be had, Alfred, who would

01:50:40have it? Would it be the Undertaker

01:50:42with Paul Bearer in his corner or

01:50:44Yoko with Fuji in his corner?

01:50:46I've got to say Yokozuna

01:50:48with Fuji in his corner

01:50:50because Mr. Fuji becomes involved.

01:50:52Paul Bearer doesn't seem to.

01:50:54Well, a couple of shots

01:50:56there by Yoko.

01:50:58And all the Undertaker

01:51:00did was take a step back.

01:51:06Those are reverse knife edges

01:51:08landing heavily.

01:51:10Oh, look at that!

01:51:14A full move by the big guy

01:51:16takes the bull down.

01:51:18What an upset possibly in the making

01:51:20here. I thought

01:51:22Yokozuna was down and out for the count

01:51:24but he wasn't.

01:51:28Oh, look at this! 360 over

01:51:30the top one. He landed right on his feet,

01:51:32Alfred. Yes, I'm getting

01:51:34really carried away here. Mr. Fuji

01:51:36very concerned, but look at him jabbing

01:51:38away at Undertaker. I told you he

01:51:40becomes involved in matches.

01:51:42Whatever

01:51:44the purpose suits him,

01:51:46their distraction move giving

01:51:48his man an opportunity to go

01:51:50right into the steel steps

01:51:52head first.

01:51:54A normal individual would be

01:51:56unconscious now. And I think a normal

01:51:58individual would have gone down from that very

01:52:00first blow struck by 500

01:52:02pound Yokozuna.

01:52:04And look at Yoko being

01:52:06the Undertaker to the draw

01:52:08there. Gorilla, how much

01:52:10more can this huge man take?

01:52:12I think he can take a lot, Alfred.

01:52:14He's 6'10

01:52:16of absolute steel strength.

01:52:18But look at this!

01:52:20Oh, no! Banzai

01:52:22splash in the corner.

01:52:24That's usually the beginning of the

01:52:26end for the opposition

01:52:28for Yokozuna, but not

01:52:30with the Undertaker.

01:52:32Well, we haven't seen any offense

01:52:34yet from the Undertaker.

01:52:36He did miss one blow

01:52:38that was struck against him, but he hasn't offered

01:52:40any blows in retaliation.

01:52:42What's the matter with him, Gorilla?

01:52:44Is he out now? Well, he just

01:52:46had that size 50 thigh

01:52:48dropped across his chest.

01:52:50That'll give you a negative attitude.

01:52:52Oh, look at that.

01:52:54He got his wake-up call.

01:52:56Oh, I was looking straight at him. He shocked

01:52:58me. Yoko

01:53:00can't believe it either.

01:53:02Look at this, belly

01:53:04to belly, but got him over

01:53:06wow, just barely. But what

01:53:08execution, though, by a huge man like

01:53:10that. You have to marvel at

01:53:12what this fellow can do, what

01:53:14he can achieve.

01:53:16What is he doing now?

01:53:18Uh-oh, he's going out after that soft bucket.

01:53:20Oh, clobbered.

01:53:22Undertaker right in the kisser with it.

01:53:26Well, he obviously

01:53:28became frustrated at his

01:53:30inability to put the

01:53:32Undertaker down and keep him down. Now

01:53:34look what he's doing with this oaken bucket here.

01:53:36Well, a real sign of

01:53:38lack of experience here

01:53:40for part of Yokozuna. Fuji

01:53:42has got to be really bent out of shape, Alfred.

01:53:44I'm sure he has, because this has cost him

01:53:46the match. Fuji, I'm sure,

01:53:48is going to berate his man.

01:53:50They do in Japan, you know, they smack these

01:53:52big fellas around the face, and they have

01:53:54to stand there and take it. Look at him.

01:53:56He's saying, what's wrong with you?

01:53:58Fuji doesn't like to go home

01:54:00with a short end of the purse money.

01:54:02And he's going to get nothing at all for a

01:54:04disqualification. He's in big

01:54:06trouble here, but what is the referee's

01:54:08I really haven't heard it yet. Well, the referee

01:54:10the bell has rung.

01:54:12I think they've sent for another official

01:54:14too. Did I see young Joey

01:54:16Morello come into the ring? Yeah, definitely

01:54:18so. And Yoko,

01:54:20look he do. Oh, look at this.

01:54:22The Undertaker is quite a ways

01:54:24away here. Oh, he's got a flat to him.

01:54:26Don't get

01:54:28in his way. Oh.

01:54:30Oh, Undertaker

01:54:32sat up.

01:54:34And that

01:54:36wasn't a very soft landing for Yokozuna.

01:54:38It's

01:54:40payback time now.

01:54:42Clothesline

01:54:44doesn't send the big guy down.

01:54:46Another one, and he's still up

01:54:48and staggering.

01:54:50But he's reeling very, very hard.

01:54:52Oh! Now he's down.

01:54:54Uh-huh.

01:54:56Are they going

01:54:58to allow this to carry on this match?

01:55:00Who's going to stop him? Nobody,

01:55:02but have they rendered a

01:55:04signature or anything?

01:55:06Don't leave your seat, Alfred.

01:55:08Well, let's get the official word on it then.

01:55:10The official winner as a result of a

01:55:12disqualification,

01:55:14The Undertaker!

01:55:18Well, as we surmise

01:55:20a disqualification

01:55:22for using that soft tail

01:55:24by Yokozuna

01:55:26and The Undertaker,

01:55:28it's going to look impressive in the record books,

01:55:30Alfred. It is indeed

01:55:32a tremendous performance

01:55:34by The Undertaker, but Yokozuna,

01:55:36he's angry with himself.

01:55:40And I'm sure Mr. Fuji

01:55:42will berate him, but look at Paul Bearer.

01:55:44He's offering the urn again.

01:55:50Undertaker, I think,

01:55:52was just too much of a shock

01:55:54for Yokozuna. The big guy

01:55:56had never been in there

01:55:58with that kind of force before.

01:56:00Well, he was frustrated

01:56:02when he went for that pale,

01:56:04but I must say, a victory

01:56:06in the win column here for The Undertaker

01:56:08will certainly look very good

01:56:10indeed.

01:56:14Well, it's obvious we're not going to get

01:56:16anywhere in my quest to find

01:56:18the perfect stamp for the perfect

01:56:20collection, but I hope you people

01:56:22have enjoyed this Colosseum video

01:56:24bashed in the USA.

01:56:26Sir, can you please tell me

01:56:28how I can help you? There's nothing

01:56:30else I can show you. You've seen everything

01:56:32we have. Can you please tell me what is so perfect

01:56:34about your collection? My album?

01:56:36Yes. I'll show you why.

01:56:58Thanks for watching!
