00:00Rob Marlin here with you from the Manhattan Center in New York City.
00:05Where I've learned a valuable lesson, wrestling fans can spell.
00:09Live from New York, it's Monday Night Raw.
00:14Welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw.
00:40Vince McMahon here along with the Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:43We're gonna see a special six man tag team matchup here tonight.
00:47It's gonna rock this house.
00:48Shawn Michaels, the Intercontinental Champion,
00:51teaming up with the Beverly Brothers.
00:52Sporting over against the Nasty Boys and their tag team partner, Tatanka.
00:56Unbelievable six man tag, but it pales in comparison,
01:00because right here, live on Monday Night Raw, it's all yellow and red.
01:06The Hulkster, don't switch that channel.
01:09Hulk Hogan is here, live, and we love it, dig it.
01:13Yeah.
01:14Hops, what's with the t-shirt?
01:17Order Buddy Express, El Paso, Texas t-shirt.
01:21Very nice.
01:22The Undertaker's here.
01:24You almost forgot.
01:25The Undertaker is here, and we're ready for action.
01:28What a night.
01:29Yeah.
01:30It's our time.
01:30Damn, damn.
01:32This contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:37Approaching the ring, from Pansbury Park, New Jersey,
01:43weighing 390 pounds, Bam, Bam Vigolo.
01:49Well, this man hasn't been to the Undertaker's parlor, but
01:53he certainly has been to the tattoo parlor.
01:56Bam, Bam Vigolo.
01:59You're really gonna hate yourself to put a tattoo on your head.
02:01Not just on his head.
02:05Bam, Bam, what a monster this guy is.
02:11There's another monster gonna be here, live, on Monday Night Raw.
02:15Yeah.
02:16And that's yellow and red, Hulk Hogan, Hulkster, yeah.
02:19I don't think you can get Big Bam Bam down that way, no way, come on.
02:26Who's Bam Bam fighting, some guy they got up the street?
02:31No, I don't believe so, a young man making his way up, and making his way down.
02:36I'll tell you what, if you beat Bam Bam Vigolo, you'll know his name.
02:42Yeah, that's how it happens.
02:44Overnight.
02:44Scott Taylor, for the ride now, coming off and
02:48messing with the roundhouse right Bam Bam, and look at that.
02:52Bam Bam almost went down, caught one in the eye.
02:56Taylor off the rope, Bam Bam beating him to the punch.
02:59What a clothesline that was.
03:01Big Maniacs coordinated, yeah, like everybody in the World Wrestling Federation.
03:05Competition gets bigger and better and quicker.
03:10Moe, Larry, the cheese, Moe, Larry, the cheese.
03:12What was that?
03:15Bam Bam, hammering away on Taylor.
03:19Looks like somebody's gonna go for the ride that could be Bartlett in there.
03:23His little legs flopping in the air.
03:24Look at that, from behind, off and, uh-oh, whoa, way up.
03:30Hammering on Bam Bam, look at that.
03:32Whatever, Bam Bam gets rid of the baggage.
03:34Let me give credit to Scott Taylor right there, right here live on Monday Night Raw.
03:38He's doing the thing, he's trying his best.
03:40Yeah, he's falling very well.
03:43He's having his problems as anyone would against Bam Bam Vigolo.
03:48This place is electric tonight, not only with the action in the ring,
03:53but the anticipation of a heavenly thrill, the yellow and
03:57red Hulk Hogan live on Monday Night Raw.
04:00Yeah, yeah, that's uncut, uncut, uncensored, yeah, Bam Bam.
04:08Working on Scott Taylor, by the way, a little bit later on.
04:12As a matter of fact, after this matchup, we're gonna bring you a special interview
04:16that was recorded earlier this week.
04:20And then after that, a little bit later on, the Hulkster will join us live.
04:25Bam Bam getting ugly with the ref.
04:27Of course, it's- Getting ugly?
04:28A relative term, Vince.
04:30Look at this.
04:31Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
04:33Chat about it, that'll break your back in two.
04:35Unbelievable, I'm glad I'm sitting here commentating instead of
04:38actually being in there, yeah, it's dangerous in there.
04:41Hey, Marshall.
04:43The big man going up.
04:45Uh-oh. Let me just say that he's really far away from the turnbuckle.
04:48There's gonna be one heck of a jump here on Monday Night Raw.
04:51Yeah. Got him.
04:53Oh, yeah.
04:53Man, same with his hand.
04:54He got him again.
04:55And again.
04:57Uh-oh.
04:58It is Raw.
04:59It's Monday Night Raw.
05:01Look at this, and again, and bam.
05:04Whoa, whoa, forget about it.
05:07I think Scott Taylor finished in second place.
05:12Here is your winner, Man Man McEvoy.
05:17Man Man victorious, I'm sure we'll be seeing a great deal more of this
05:22extraordinary athlete in weeks to come.
05:25However, let's take you now to a special interview that was recorded
05:30earlier this week, Vince McMahon and the Hulkster.
05:35Hulk Hogan, the entire world awaits for your return.
05:39Hulk Hogan, the entire world awaits for your announcement this Monday
05:43night on Monday Night Raw.
05:46Hulkamaniacs, young and old alike, hoping that you will say what they
05:51want you to say, that you're gonna return to the ring in the World
05:55Wrestling Federation.
05:56It was right here in this very studio approximately a year ago, prior to
06:01WrestleMania last year, that you and I speculated on the future of Hulkamania.
06:07That speculation continues.
06:09Just what is, in your mind, the future of Hulkamania?
06:12Well, I tell you, Mr. McMahon, the future of Hulkamania is so exciting,
06:16I really don't know how to express myself.
06:18But all I know is sitting back for the last year and watching all my
06:22Hulkamaniacs, little and big, continue to train, say their prayers,
06:26eat their vitamins, and believe in themselves, makes me realize that those
06:30people just aren't my friends, those Hulkamaniacs.
06:33Those people that have carried on, even without me, have turned into my
06:36heroes instead of my friends, because those are the ones that believe,
06:41those are the ones that live the positive lifestyle, and those are the
06:44ones that continue to set examples for the rest of the world.
06:48And the future of Hulkamania is really bright, and I can't wait to get
06:51into that.
06:52But before I do, I'd like to talk about the past of Hulkamania.
06:56You know, when you're at the top of any field, any chosen profession,
06:59whether it be business, whether it be entertainment,
07:02whether it be sports, or whether it's sports entertainment,
07:04like Hulk Hogan was at the top of for so many years,
07:07there are a lot of curious people that want to dig into your past
07:10and find out what you're all about.
07:12Well, when they dug into Hulk Hogan's past, they found out,
07:15big surprise, Hulk Hogan is a human being.
07:19And as they looked into my past, even from Little League,
07:22Hulk Hogan is not afraid to admit he's made mistakes.
07:25On a personal level, I've made mistakes.
07:28On a business level, I don't always make the right decisions.
07:31And even on a peer pressure level, as I was growing up through the 60s,
07:3470s, and 80s, I made mistakes too.
07:37And my father even said, son, don't do as I do, do as I say.
07:42Well, I want to change that around now because the future of Hulkamania
07:46is so positive.
07:47I want all those Hulkamaniacs to know that stuck with me
07:50and stuck with me for the last year, even when I wasn't around,
07:53that we're going to another level.
07:55And then there's always the negative side.
07:57We're in the era of the 90s, and notwithstanding the legitimate media,
08:01there's a lot of tabloid terrorism going on out there.
08:04Everybody knows about that.
08:06These are the people that dwell on the negatives,
08:08dig up any dirt they can, and even if the allegations are false,
08:12they report them anyway, and they don't care who they hurt
08:15just as long as they personally gain from it.
08:18But thank God the Hulkamaniacs are not all about that.
08:22We dwell on the positives, not the negatives.
08:25The Hulkamaniacs know with a positive lifestyle,
08:28setting your goals high, and with positive work ethics,
08:31you can have anything you want in this life.
08:34And also, Vince McMahon, the Hulkamaniacs, the big ones
08:37and the little ones, know that the future of America lies in our youth.
08:41That's why Hulk Hogan wants to be the leader of the 90s.
08:45And now it's not just do as I say, it's also do as I do, Vince McMahon,
08:51because there's a new demand.
08:53There's five of them now for my Hulkamaniacs,
08:55and they go just like this.
08:57Train, say your prayers, eat your vitamins,
09:01believe in yourself, and believe in Hulk Hogan.
09:06And wait till my Hulkamaniacs hear what I have to say
09:10on Monday Night Raw.
09:12I can't wait.
09:14And indeed, we cannot wait.
09:17And the Hulkster will join us live a little bit later on
09:20when we return, a special six-man tag team matchup
09:25will be coming at you.
09:31We're live on Monday Night Raw.
09:38That was a kinder, gentler Hulkster, wasn't it, Vince?
09:43I'm going to be electric when he comes out here live in a little while.
09:47That is for sure.
09:51And I hope you've been saying your prayers and taking your vitamins, Rob Martin.
09:55Here he comes!
10:07Listen to Michaels.
10:11Exactly, Shawn Michaels, bring the vocals out.
10:21He doesn't look rattled over that non-title upset victory by Tataka.
10:31The Nasty Boys.
10:33These guys are psyched to the max.
10:39Fair enough, Jerry Sacks.
10:41Yeah, we're all going to Nastyville.
10:44Nastyville, dig it.
10:47Fuck him out of sight, Jeff.
10:49And here comes their partner.
10:53Their partner.
10:59Well, that's Shawn Michaels.
11:01Tataka.
11:03Shawn Michaels is battling me all six men in the ring at the same time.
11:08You better gain some control here.
11:10That's illegal, isn't it, Vince?
11:12You might say that.
11:15Oh, okay.
11:16And Shawn Michaels now.
11:18Triple T-Ball to the top rope.
11:23Right here.
11:24Unbelievable.
11:27That was the coolest thing I've ever seen.
11:30Cool, not if you're Shawn Michaels.
11:32Michaels disoriented.
11:36He may be out of the match.
11:38Everybody gearing up for mania.
11:40Yeah, you can say that again.
11:43Shawn Michaels will defend the Intercontinental Championship
11:47at WrestleMania against Tataka.
11:50And as you brought out, Macho Man,
11:52Tataka has already defeated Michaels in a non-title match.
11:55Tataka looks like he's got his scoop on him again tonight.
12:00Oh, the Pit Stop.
12:02Are we going to see a Pit Stop?
12:05A double Pit Stop.
12:06Oh, no, that's really Nastyville.
12:09The Waika Pro in there.
12:12Raise your hand if you're sure.
12:17Oh.
12:19Stop hammering away.
12:22I'd like to say a little something about the Nasty Boys, Vince, if I may.
12:25Yes?
12:26They are nothing like their image or name would connote.
12:28They are peaceful gentlemen who love the arts, nature,
12:32and perform many humanitarian deeds throughout the year.
12:35That's very, very nicely said.
12:37And I'm from Saturn.
12:38Well, they told me I'd have to read that or they crushed my voice box.
12:44I see.
12:46I would have done that, too.
12:47That's a blackmailer.
12:49Here comes Shawn Michaels.
12:51Michaels against Dove.
12:52Big boot to the head there.
12:57Shawn Michaels hammering away.
13:03And Michaels striking the elbow.
13:06Notice how he's staying away from Tataka.
13:09And as great as this six-man tag is,
13:11don't forget Monday Night Raw live right here.
13:15Hulk Hogan coming up.
13:18And look at this.
13:19The double team effort continues.
13:22Behind the official's back.
13:23Come on, Raph, get in there.
13:27It's tough officiating any single competition in the WWF,
13:31much less a tag team match.
13:32And again, you go to a six-man tag team match, anything can happen.
13:35Absolutely.
13:36And Monday Night Raw right here in the Manhattan Center.
13:38And the Big Apple brings the best out of everybody.
13:41Yeah, dig it.
13:47We're hanging from the rafters right here.
13:49Yeah.
13:50And down.
13:52Damn it.
13:53Shawn Michaels, look at that.
13:55That's what I called by.
13:56Here comes Vance again.
13:57Another one.
14:00Reckless abandon.
14:01And Tataka tagging out.
14:05And look at that.
14:06Quickly, Michaels tagging out.
14:08Bow for the ride.
14:10Bo Beverly backing up a bit.
14:12Tataka grips him to the far side.
14:14And now, and grips him to the near side.
14:17And what a chop.
14:22This young man has been on the warpath, so to speak,
14:24ever since he came into the World Wrestling Federation.
14:26Thus far undefeated in single competition.
14:29And his enthusiasm just keeps growing.
14:31And that could bring him all the way to the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship belt.
14:34He doesn't know any different.
14:41Arm bar applied.
14:42On ball.
14:43Quick tag now.
14:44And here comes Mr. Sag.
14:47I like the unselfishness of Tataka and the Nasty Boys.
14:51They're tagging each other.
14:52They're doing everything it takes to win a match.
14:54They're giving each other a chance.
14:57And not giving their opponents much of one.
14:59And that's the idea here.
15:01That's it.
15:02At the World Wrestling Federation.
15:03Because it's raw and uncensored.
15:06Uncooked.
15:07And, uh...
15:08Uncut, Vince.
15:09Yeah, thank you.
15:10Like something.
15:11Right.
15:12And one, two, and-
15:13Ooh.
15:15That wasn't nice.
15:18Risking a bit of disqualification there.
15:20The Beverly Brothers.
15:23And Hulk Hogan is still coming up live right here on Monday Night Raw.
15:26Yellow and red.
15:27I don't know who's more excited, you or the Hulkster.
15:29Or all the Hulkamaniacs out there.
15:33Armbar applied now.
15:35Oh.
15:36And Blake, the Beverly Brothers from Shaker Heights, Ohio.
15:42They've done quite well for themselves in the World Wrestling Federation.
15:47Look at Tataka.
15:48Trying to battle his way out of the area.
15:50It's three man.
15:51Tataka chomping away.
15:53Tataka cuts himself free.
16:00And what is going on here in this match?
16:02It is...
16:03Pearl now.
16:05Wait a minute.
16:07And Bo Beverly back in the clutches of Tataka.
16:11Don't you think this has got to hurt Shawn Michaels' confidence?
16:14Ooh!
16:15What a chop!
16:17I love it!
16:19I would suggest that's the reason why Shawn Michaels is not looking to tag in.
16:25He's just kind of hanging on the outside.
16:27You might hear that Shawn Michaels leaves the building before the match is over.
16:33And here comes Mr. Knob.
16:35Brian Knob back in.
16:36And unfortunately, it appears as though we're going to have to go to a break here.
16:41Knob's hammering away.
16:42We'll be back with more action on Monday Night Raw.
16:47Monday Night Raw continues.
16:50Live from the Manhattan Center.
16:52They just started again.
16:53They weren't really wrestling.
16:54Yeah, right.
16:55During the commercial.
16:56This has been an unbelievable idea.
16:59I'm just kidding.
17:00I know that.
17:02And look at that!
17:03Unbelievable!
17:04Could these guys stay in the ring?
17:06Brian Knob went flying over the top rope.
17:08Blake Beverly doing the damage.
17:11And Bo's out there with him now.
17:12Paul air traffic control.
17:14Oh, no!
17:15Right into the steps.
17:17And that's nothing compared to what's been going on here.
17:20Look at this now.
17:21Uh-oh.
17:22Shawn Michaels.
17:25And Michaels lets him go.
17:26The attention of the referee right on Shawn Michaels.
17:28Oh, no.
17:29Look at this.
17:30I didn't see that.
17:31Did you see that?
17:32How did Brian Knobs go down just now?
17:33Well, he didn't fall down on his own.
17:34I can tell you that.
17:35I know that.
17:36I know that.
17:37Jerry Sags over to help his partner, Knobs.
17:40He's taking a beating right there.
17:42But the Nasty Boys are tougher than nails.
17:45I know that.
17:47They are tough and they are nasty.
17:50And they're boys.
17:53That just about covers it.
17:54Boys the men, brother.
17:57And now, look at this.
17:58Cheap shot on it.
17:59Shawn Michaels wide open there.
18:01Brian Knobs.
18:02Look at this.
18:05This is what Michaels loves best.
18:07Uh-oh.
18:08He doesn't like that, however.
18:10Turning things right back around.
18:12Shawn Michaels.
18:13Love to see Tatanka get in there just one more time.
18:16Well, I'm gonna really look forward to the matchup at WrestleMania.
18:19There are many individuals who feel as though Tatanka will be the next Intercontinental Champion.
18:24He's got the momentum.
18:25No doubt about it.
18:26Wait a minute.
18:27What's going on here?
18:28Look out.
18:29And down.
18:30Right in the back of Brian Knobs.
18:33Knobs gonna do it.
18:35Yes, they do.
18:36The cover by Michaels.
18:37Look at this.
18:38We get one.
18:39We get two.
18:40And through.
18:41No.
18:42Not quite.
18:43Not count.
18:44We almost got three.
18:45Nasty.
18:46Nasty.
18:47Nasty.
18:48Nasty.
18:49Nasty.
18:50And from the top rope now.
18:52Oh, my.
18:53Come on.
18:56And.
18:57Nope.
18:58Still only a count of two.
19:00Nasty boys got guts.
19:01They don't know what it is to quit.
19:04Knobs is a tough one.
19:05Knobs sags.
19:06And their partner Tatanka.
19:08The near 300 pounder being enriched now by Blake.
19:17It's been somewhat of a triple team here on Brian Knobs ever since they threw him over the top rope.
19:21He has sustained an unbelievable amount of punishment.
19:24That's one of the keys of success here in the World Wrestling Federation.
19:27The Beverly Brothers and Shawn Michaels are working good together, but he has inches away from turning this thing around possibly.
19:34Not a chance.
19:35Didn't happen.
19:36Either a lot of guts or a lack of smarts.
19:40One of the differences in competitors in the WWF is not how much punishment you can dish out.
19:46A lot of individuals can do that.
19:48You have to have that resilience factor.
19:50How much can you take?
19:51Look at that.
19:52There you go.
19:53More guts than brains.
19:54Brian Knobs.
19:56And Michaels is going to be tested now.
20:00Knobs dropping down as Michaels tags out now.
20:04And, oh, Bo Beverly right back in there.
20:07Good move.
20:08Gotta admit it.
20:09And so the strategy pretty obvious now on the part of the Beverly Brothers and Shawn Michaels.
20:13And that's to keep this one man Brian Knobs away from his tag team partners.
20:17Wear him down.
20:18And they're doing a good job of that.
20:23As well as a good job of bending up, not out, not breaking the rules behind the official's back.
20:28Blake Beverly now wearing, oh, look at this.
20:32And again, an attempt on the part of Knobs to escape.
20:36Has some effect.
20:38Knobs down.
20:40Has to spin around.
20:42Spin around and tag your partner.
20:43No, Knobs is reaching for the rope to get out.
20:45Here's where that sixth sense pays off right here.
20:48Shawn Michaels tagged in.
20:50Knobs trying to make it over to his partners.
20:52And no.
20:53Shawn Michaels cuts him right off.
20:55Off the rope.
20:56Back body.
20:57No.
20:58A kick right in the mush.
21:02However, no follow up again.
21:04The third time we've seen offense on the part of Knobs.
21:07But there's no follow up.
21:09That needle's right on the E as far as the gas tank is concerned.
21:13Both men down.
21:15Bottom line, Brian Knobs, Nasty Boy's gotta make a tag either to conquer his partner.
21:21And the crowd knows it.
21:24And so does Brian Knobs.
21:26The action is furious and live right here on Monday Night Raw.
21:29Knobs looking over this way.
21:30He may want to tag Bartlett.
21:32That'll do it.
21:35I'll give him a stern talking to.
21:37Sure.
21:38Oh, no.
21:42The Tonka chopping away on Michaels.
21:45Back to the corner.
21:46Oh, what a vicious chop.
21:47For the ride.
21:48Shawn Michaels.
21:50The Tonka moving in.
21:55Ride that motorcycle.
21:58Clothesline by the Tonka.
22:01The Tonka all over Shawn Michaels.
22:03Off the rope and...
22:05Powerslam.
22:06The cover really did him one.
22:08No.
22:09Bo Blamerly coming in to help out.
22:11Here comes Blake as well.
22:13What a big leap chop.
22:14And another one.
22:15Another one.
22:19The Tonka on the warpath.
22:24Off the rope.
22:25Big chop.
22:26Down goes Michaels.
22:27The Tonka with momentum.
22:29Off the rope again.
22:30And down goes Michaels again.
22:32Uh-oh.
22:33The Tonka going out to the apron.
22:34The Tonka climbing up to the second rope.
22:36Now he's up to the top rope.
22:38Harvest Maneuver.
22:39The Tonka.
22:41Yes.
22:42Little pre-WrestleMania preview.
22:44One.
22:45Two.
22:46No.
22:48I thought for sure he had him.
22:49I thought for sure.
22:52The Tonka coming ever so close.
22:55What a matchup that's going to be at WrestleMania.
22:58Two great competitors going at it.
23:00And yes.
23:01That's it.
23:02He's got him done.
23:03He's got him again.
23:04He's got him done.
23:05Two.
23:06Three.
23:07No.
23:08Did he get him?
23:09Yes.
23:10He got him.
23:11No, he didn't.
23:12The referee didn't count the third count.
23:13There.
23:14Oh, my.
23:15Aren't there too many guys in the ring now?
23:17Yeah, you might say that.
23:18Right, Bartlett.
23:20Almost landing in your lap, Bartlett.
23:24Yes.
23:28The Tonka.
23:30Back in the ring.
23:32Uh-oh, here we go.
23:33Are you kidding?
23:34Look at this.
23:35Oh.
23:36Maneuver by the Tonka.
23:37What a maneuver.
23:38He did it.
23:40He did it.
23:42Two in a row with Shawn Michaels.
23:44The Tonka.
23:45Here are your winners for this week,
23:47a convincing win,
23:49the Tonka.
23:55The Tonka on his way to WrestleMania.
24:01On his way to perhaps take the Intercontinental Championship
24:04away from Shawn Michaels at Cedars Palace.
24:07It's coming.
24:09It's coming to the palace, Cedars Palace,
24:12on Sunday afternoon, April 4th,
24:14the World Wrestling Federation's greatest spectacle,
24:16WrestleMania is coming to Las Vegas,
24:19the new family entertainment capital of the world.
24:22And you and your family can experience all the fun
24:24and excitement live and in person.
24:26Just call 1-800-634-6698 to charge tickets by phone.
24:31Call now and make plans to be part of the sports
24:33entertainment event of a lifetime.
24:38All roads will lead to Cedars Palace,
24:41Las Vegas, Nevada, at WrestleMania.
24:45The greatest one ever.
24:48No doubt about that.
24:50We're live here on Monday Night Raw,
24:52scheduled as well at WrestleMania course
24:54for the World Wrestling Federation Championship.
24:56The champion himself,
24:58the title holder, the hitman Bret Hart,
25:00meeting your favorite 505-pound Yokozuna.
25:05I love him.
25:06Yeah, I know you do.
25:07Standing by right now is Sean Moody.
25:11And no doubt people have been lining up to get in here
25:13since 9 o'clock this morning.
25:15Sean's outside.
25:17Certainly a lot of great action coming up tonight
25:19here on WWF Monday Night Raw.
25:21But I think we all know one of the big reasons
25:23the folks are out tonight is to see Hulk Hogan,
25:25who's coming back.
25:27I see the Hulkster buddies are out.
25:29What do you think about Hulk's return?
25:30I'm glad Hulk is back.
25:32He's the reason why I'm here tonight.
25:34Hulk Hogan.
25:35Hulk Hogan's back in the World Wrestling Federation.
25:37I think he's going to clean house in the WWF
25:39and become champion again.
25:41I think that makes it official.
25:43Hulk Hogan is back in the World Wrestling Federation.
25:56Oh, paging Richard Simmons.
25:58Paging Richard Simmons.
26:01All the decks of deal-a-meal cards.
26:06It's Monday Night Raw.
26:08Look out.
26:18Nice.
26:19315 pounds.
26:23And every single pound is up there on the ring.
26:32Did you see the way he was holding her up for the lady?
26:34Crush is ready for action.
26:37Promotional consideration paid for by the following.
26:41To be the World Wrestling Federation champion,
26:43you've got to want it every day.
26:45It takes an integrated approach to training,
26:47and that is what ICO Pro is all about.
26:54WWF figures give you the fury of the Hitman.
26:56And the bite of the Bulldog.
26:58And the firepower of Sergeant Slaughter.
27:00WWF figures.
27:01Each sold separately.
27:02Dig it?
27:03We're back with Monday Night Raw.
27:05And Crush and Terry Taylor have started things off here.
27:10And if you're terrific, Terry Taylor,
27:12you're on the floor.
27:13That's what you don't do.
27:14Yeah, you're on the floor.
27:15You don't do that.
27:16Nope.
27:17You come to wrestle.
27:18Yeah.
27:19That's exactly what Crush has come to do.
27:21This man can mix it up in any fashion.
27:22An extraordinary athlete.
27:24Not only one of the stronger individuals
27:26in all of the World Wrestling Federation,
27:28but Macho Man, you know how highly tuned his skills are
27:33in terms of the technicalities of Crush.
27:36He's even more aggressive than he already was.
27:38He's getting ready for Doink the Clown
27:40at WrestleMania at Cesar's Palace.
27:44And off and drop kick.
27:47Yes.
27:48Very agile.
27:49Right to his feet.
27:50What can I say?
27:51What a great athlete.
27:52Speaking of great athletes,
27:53look at this.
27:54Doesn't surprise me.
27:55Crush can do it all.
27:59Earlier on, we heard from the Hulkster.
28:01And a little bit later on, he's going to be with us live.
28:03And I'd like to let you know that, believe it or not,
28:05President Clinton is very much considering the Hulkster
28:08to head up the President's Council on Physical Fitness.
28:18Hang on.
28:19Phone.
28:20Phone, Vince.
28:21Beg your pardon?
28:22Telephone?
28:23Phone.
28:24Hello?
28:25Hello?
28:26Vince McMahon.
28:27Arnold, how are you?
28:28I'm not beautiful.
28:29I'm not fantastic.
28:30I'm very upset.
28:31Why is that?
28:32What is this Hulkstermania?
28:33It's going to be taking over my job.
28:35Well, the Hulkster's applied for the job, that's for sure.
28:38And if any of the Hulkamaniacs have anything to do with it,
28:41I assure you, he will be appointed by President Clinton.
28:45And what better example to represent the youth of America
28:48than Hulk Hogan?
28:49This is what I get for marrying a Kennedy.
28:52What?
28:53I'm not happy about this.
28:57Who cares?
28:58Who wants to work for the Democrats anyway?
29:02Well, we thank you very much for joining us, Arnold.
29:05See you later.
29:09Meanwhile, Terry Taylor with a chin lock here on.
29:13An awesome crush.
29:15Hulk Hogan's not a Republican, not a Democrat.
29:18He's a fan of humanity.
29:19He's a Hulkamaniac.
29:20He's a Hulkamaniac.
29:21Yes, he is.
29:24We have a Monday Night Raw coming up.
29:26Look at that maneuver by Terry Taylor.
29:29And down with the neck breaker.
29:31Great move by Terry Taylor.
29:33He's got the big man down.
29:35And a cover by Taylor.
29:36And a-
29:37What power.
29:39What power.
29:40Well, that's something you don't see every day.
29:43Well, on occasion, you'll see it out here on 42nd Street.
29:46Yeah, but you got to pay a lot more for it.
29:48Crush is going to be in WrestleMania, what do you bet?
29:50Crush squaring off against Doink.
29:52I thought your man was talking about that Doink.
29:54Wow.
29:55What a competitor Doink has turned out to be.
29:57Everyone just thought he was just a clown.
29:59He's actually, I guess, a combination of opposites.
30:04I had a rumor that seeing as WrestleMania is going to be at
30:07Caesars in Vegas there, they're going to have a tag team match
30:10between Wayne Newton, Vickie Gar, versus Siegfried and Roy.
30:14Who's going to sing the national anthem?
30:16Kenny Rogers, but he'll probably just phone it in.
30:19Uh-huh.
30:21Oh, look at that maneuver.
30:23Crush is amazing.
30:25There's only one man in all of the World Wrestling Federation
30:28that can do that.
30:30And that's the big man from Kona, Hawaii.
30:32And Jerry Taylor is having his problems.
30:37Oh, yeah.
30:38Submission will apply.
30:41And Taylor is trying to hang on.
30:44But he can't.
30:46Too much man there, Crush.
30:51Chaka Bra.
30:52Chaka Bra.
30:57Crush victorious.
30:59You remember just last week here on Monday Night Raw, what happened?
31:04Brutal Survivor Beefcake was almost brutalized.
31:08Let's take you back and take a look.
31:11No.
31:12Don't let this happen.
31:16Trying to win a Beefcake.
31:18And Beefcake is still hot.
31:19He's going to take a run at him.
31:21He's going to take a run at him.
31:22Please don't let it happen.
31:25Boy, look at that.
31:26Jimmy Hart shot to the outside.
31:30Now the official has to get in between.
31:33Come on.
31:34Do your job, referee.
31:35Do your job.
31:36Oh, no.
31:37Oh, no.
31:39Oh, no, Jim.
31:43I can't believe that happened.
31:46Well, you saw what happened, Macho Man.
31:49Unbelievable.
31:50Only a broken nose, but the intent was still there.
31:54Was it ever.
31:55Drop your reaction.
31:56Scared the stripes right off your suit.
31:58Certainly did, didn't it?
32:00The Hulkster is scheduled next.
32:03Don't go away.
32:04That's Monday Night Raw will continue.
32:07Dig it.
32:08Yeah.
32:09We're back, ladies and gentlemen.
32:19And let's not wait any longer.
32:28Here he is, Hulk Hogan.
32:35Hulk Hogan.
33:06All right, Hulkster.
33:25Hulkster, please tell us what we want to hear.
33:29Come on.
33:30Well, you know something, Vince McMahon.
33:33The first thing I want to say, look at all my Hulkamaniacs here on Monday Night Raw.
33:38If Hulkamania is not running wild, you tell me what is.
33:42Is Hulkamania running wild?
33:44Wilder than ever.
33:50Well, you know, Vince McMahon, there are a lot of things I want to talk about, brother.
33:54And the first thing I want to talk about is what happened out here last Monday Night on Raw.
34:00As I was sitting home in my beach house on Venice Beach, California, in front of my TV,
34:05I was waiting for one of the greatest comebacks of all time,
34:08my best friend, to hit this ring last Monday night.
34:12And I was grinning from ear to ear, brother.
34:14As I watched Brutus the Barber of Beefcake outstrut the multi-million dollar man,
34:19as I watched Brutus the Barber of Beefcake outwrestle the multi-million dollar man,
34:24I was happy as could be.
34:26But all of a sudden, my smile changed to fear, brother,
34:30as I saw that no good IRS sneak out of the back.
34:33And the next thing I knew, with that metal briefcase over his head,
34:38and Ted DiBiase had Brutus hooked, I saw what I couldn't believe with my own eyes.
34:44I saw that briefcase come across this ring faster than a speeding bullet, brother.
34:49And as Brutus got the crush of all times in his face,
34:53the noise was so loud on my TV, I had to turn my head, brother,
34:57because I knew at that point in time,
34:59Brutus Beefcake's face was crushed into a million pieces, dude.
35:04But Brutus is okay.
35:07That's the good news, brothers.
35:10Oh, yes, sir, that's the good news.
35:13The thing is, Brutus' pretty little nose is just bent up a little bit,
35:22and as far as I'm concerned, he looks more like a wrestler than he ever did.
35:27But the thing that tears me apart inside is not what they did to Brutus Beefcake,
35:33it's what they tried to do to him, brother.
35:36And right now, I want to publicly thank two people for last Monday night Raw, brother.
35:42The big man upstairs, who has been with Brutus Beefcake since day one,
35:48all the way through the first accident,
35:50and all the way to what could have been the nightmare of all times.
35:53I want to thank the big man first off for being with Brutus.
35:56And the second person I want to thank,
36:02as crazy as this may sound to all my Hulkamaniacs,
36:07is I saw the brother lay his body on the line
36:11and stopped the Million Dollar Man from the second blow to Brutus' face,
36:17which could have been an all-out horror show.
36:20So I want to thank Jimmy Hart personally.
36:28But to answer your question, Vince McMahon,
36:31I'm here on a mission, brother.
36:33And I want to state publicly right now that I'm back in the WWF.
36:40I'm back, little dude, in the WWF with me and all my Hulkamaniacs.
36:47And I'm on a mission, brother.
36:49And the first order of business is to right the wrong
36:53that Money Incorporated tried to do to Brutus Beefcake.
36:57So all I've got to say right now is the first person I want standing in the ring with me
37:04is my friend to the end, Brutus, the Bionic Barber Beefcake.
37:10Brutus Beefcake!
37:12Brutus the Barber Beefcake.
37:14Brutus Beefcake!
37:37Brutus the Barber Beefcake.
37:39Take a look at that kisser if you would.
37:43I'll truly say little did I know that I was going to get the ultimate wake-up call
37:52when I stepped into that ring.
37:54As I stood there and I realized that that suitcase was smashing across my face,
38:02I thought it was curtains for me.
38:05I thought it was all over.
38:07It rang my bell so loud that my ears are still ringing.
38:11But as the shock wore off and as I lay in the arms of Jimmy Hart
38:16with a blood oozy from my nose,
38:19I began to realize that nothing on this earth could shatter the titanium steel face.
38:28And just like the Hulkster, I want to thank two guys right now, Vince.
38:34And first I want to thank the big man
38:37because he's been right behind me all the way through this thing.
38:43But I also want to thank Jimmy Hart and Hulkster
38:50as I stand here now with the power of Hulkamania running wild through my body.
38:59I can't wait to get the IRS and Ted DiBiase one more time
39:06and cross my path again.
39:09Well, you know something, Brutus?
39:11I sure hope that Money Incorporated is sitting in front of their TVs
39:16watching this right now, brother.
39:18Because the first thing that you and I are going to do, brother,
39:22is we're going to start seizing their assets one at a time.
39:26And I can't think of no better way than to take the man
39:30who everybody thought was nothing but yellow from head to toe.
39:34But last week, after he showed his true colors out here,
39:37as far as me and all my Hulkamaniacs are concerned,
39:41he's painted with red and yellow from head to toe.
39:46So right now, Hulkamaniacs,
39:48I want to bring out Brutus the Barber and Hulk Hogan's brand new manager,
39:54Jimmy Hart.
39:56Jimmy Hart, the new manager.
39:59Jimmy Hart, the manager of Brutus Beefcake and Hulk Hogan.
40:27Let me tell you something, Hulk Hogan.
40:29This is the greatest day of my life, baby.
40:33Because you see, for a long, long time,
40:36I've dreamed about wearing the red and yellow of the Hulkster, man.
40:43And you know something else, Hulk?
40:45I have always idolized you, man.
40:48And I know right now, watching these monitors in the back,
40:51there's a lot of World Wrestling Federation superstars,
40:54Vince McMahon, that I idolize this man, too.
40:58And you know, over the past eight years,
41:00this megaphone right here has won a lot of matches
41:04for the mouth of the south, Jimmy Hart.
41:07And I've managed a lot of great tag teams
41:10in the World Wrestling Federation.
41:12But I really believe in my heart, Hulkster,
41:15that Brutus the Barber, Beefcake, and Hulk Hogan together
41:19will be the greatest tag team of all time.
41:23And I promise you one more thing, baby,
41:33that every morning of my life that Jimmy Hart gets up,
41:37I will take my vitamins.
41:40And Money Incorporated, you had better start saying your prayers.
41:50Well, you know something, Money Incorporated,
41:54we just want to let Jimmy come over here, brother.
41:57Me and Brutus just want to let you know
41:59that your first order of business
42:01as the manager of this trio of the Mega Maniacs,
42:06that's what we'll call ourselves,
42:08the manager of the Mega Maniacs,
42:10is to get the multi-million dollar man, or IRS,
42:14either in single matches or tag team matches.
42:17It doesn't matter to us.
42:19And by the way, Money Incorporated,
42:22what you gonna do when the trio of the Mega Maniacs
42:27runs wild on you?
42:30Hulk Hogan!
42:33Yeah!
43:04The day has come!
43:08Hulk Hogan is back!
43:17The Hulkster!
43:19Yeah, rip it off!
43:27If you wanna be a part of the Mega Maniacs,
43:31if you wanna be a part of Hulkamania,
43:35there's one good way.
43:37That's to join us right here on Monday Night Raw.

45:00The Undertaker!
45:02From the Everglades, weighing 235 pounds-
45:05I don't think money ain't gonna last too long
45:07with the Mega Maniacs watching.
45:11Oh, they're watching it on television set right about now.
45:15Their mouth gapes open.
45:16They can't believe that Jimmy Hart
45:18is no longer managing them,
45:20but rather managing the Mega Maniacs.
45:22They can't believe what they're about to see here
45:24with The Undertaker either.
45:27We'll be back as we continue
45:29with more World Wrestling Federation action
45:31right here live on Monday Night Raw!
45:38We're back on Monday Night Raw,

45:42and I think Skinner's running out of time as well.
45:45Undertaker right over the top on his feet.
45:50Promotional consideration paid for by the following.
45:53Chips!
45:56Gotta have beef, gotta have spice.
