00:00:03Sean Michael's illustrious career is about to begin.

00:00:05Sean Michael's illustrious career is about to begin.

00:00:07Sean Michael's illustrious career is about to begin.

00:00:09Sean Michael's illustrious career is about to begin.

00:00:11Sean Michael's illustrious career is about to begin.

00:00:13Sean Michael's illustrious career is about to begin.

00:00:15Sean, you're fire.

00:00:17Sean, you're fire.

00:00:18You're fire.

00:00:20Oh!

00:00:21Sweet chin music!

00:00:22Woo!

00:00:23Sean with sweet chin music to Mr. McMahon!

00:00:26Woo!

00:00:27With one swift kick,

00:00:28Sean Michael's illustrious career in the WWF may have come to an end.

00:00:34Sean's storybook career began over ten years ago

00:00:37when a bright-eyed young kid captured our hearts with his undeniable charisma.

00:00:43We watched Sean Michael's grow up and transform into the Heartbreak Kid,

00:00:49a brash and cocky manifestation of his own personality.

00:00:54It was the Heartbreak Kid's flamboyance

00:00:57that made him the most popular,

00:00:59and at times, a most controversial WWF superstar.

00:01:04HBK's trademark showmanship, coupled with unparalleled athleticism,

00:01:09propelled Sean Michaels to become the most decorated competitor in WWF history.

00:01:14The boyhood dream has come true for Sean Michaels!

00:01:18Sean's relationship with WWF owner...

00:01:20Get that off the titan, Tron!

00:01:21Get it off now!

00:01:22Get that sentimental crap off the titan, Tron!

00:01:28Well, what a way to kick off Raw, King.

00:01:30Mr. McMahon and the Corporation heading to the ring.

00:01:32Good!

00:01:33And last week on Raw, Mr. McMahon fired Sean Michaels as commissioner.

00:01:38Right, he got his notice!

00:01:39And he... then Sean delivered sweet chin music to Mr. McMahon in the center of the ring.

00:01:45And an irate Mr. McMahon went on WWF.com immediately following Raw

00:01:50and said if Sean Michaels ever steps foot in a WWF arena again,

00:01:55the Corporation will dismember HBK.

00:01:58Yeah, and then that idiot Sean Michaels last night on Heat,

00:02:01he vowed that he's gonna be here tonight.

00:02:03Surely Sean Michaels is not that stupid.

00:02:05He won't show up here tonight.

00:02:06Well, you've known HBK for a very long time.

00:02:09He's always been a man of his word.

00:02:10But that sweet chin music, that super kick hurt around the world,

00:02:14has definitely severed a relationship,

00:02:17a ten-year relationship between Mr. McMahon and Sean Michaels.

00:02:22It's no secret that Sean Michaels has threatened to show up here tonight on Raw.

00:02:32I would suggest, as a piece of advice, that none of you hold your breath.

00:02:37Because if you do, you are likely to turn blue and pass out due to oxygen deprivation.

00:02:46Because Sean Michaels will be a no-show here tonight.

00:02:51Told you.

00:02:55You see, Sean Michaels has a lot of admirable qualities.

00:02:59However, bravery is not among them.

00:03:04I don't know about that.

00:03:05And I hope indeed that you will find it in your hearts to forgive me

00:03:09for firing Sean Michaels as the Commissioner.

00:03:13Again, I did what I thought I had to do.

00:03:17I had to make an example out of Sean Michaels.

00:03:20And damn it, I did.

00:03:22That sign said, Briscoe Bodyshop.

00:03:27You see, no one, and I mean no one, will ever again disparage my son Shane.

00:03:35And indeed, anyone, and I mean anyone, who even remotely had anything at all to do

00:03:47with the recent emotional scarring of my son Shane

00:03:53Emotional scarring.

00:03:55Will indeed pay.

00:03:59Yes.

00:04:00They will be derided.

00:04:02They will be humiliated.

00:04:04And they will be punished by me.

00:04:11So then, let that be a warning.

00:04:15Let that be a warning.

00:04:17Wait a minute.

00:04:18King, that's a live shot right in the arena.

00:04:21HBK is here.

00:04:22Sean Michaels is here.

00:04:24Sean Michaels is in the arena?

00:04:26He's coming out here.

00:04:28That's backstage.

00:04:29It looks like he's headed out here, King.

00:04:31That's backstage.

00:04:32It looks like he's headed out here, King.

00:04:33Sean Michaels is here.

00:04:35He has not heeded the warning of Mr. McMahon.

00:04:41It's gonna be a showdown.

00:04:44If he comes out here, I want you to kick his butt.

00:04:47I want you to dismember him.

00:04:49And Sean, break his bones, King.

00:04:55It's him.

00:04:59It's Sean Michaels.

00:05:02He found backstage to show up.

00:05:04And he is here tonight.

00:05:06Well, he fits the block into a trap.

00:05:08Because Mr. McMahon's gonna have all his associates.

00:05:11They're gonna ship Sean Michaels and dismember him.

00:05:14Come on down, Sean.

00:05:16You've got the guts.

00:05:17McMahon.

00:05:19Obviously, the sheriff is back in town.

00:05:24And that he is.

00:05:27And this time, Vinny, I brought the cavalry with me.

00:05:33Cavalry?

00:05:34Break it down.

00:05:37Oh, no.

00:05:38It's DX.

00:05:39What?

00:05:42DX.

00:05:43DX with Sean Michaels.

00:05:46Wait a minute.

00:05:47I don't get it.

00:05:48It was Sean Michaels and Triple H which formed this group.

00:05:52Are they back together again?

00:05:53I just don't get it.

00:05:57Mr. McMahon is living.

00:06:01Sean has brought backup.

00:06:02Now, Vince, according to my overpriced lawyers,

00:06:09my contract as WWF commissioner is ironclad.

00:06:16My contract as WWF commissioner is ironclad.

00:06:23What?

00:06:24In fact, it was you, Vince McMahon, who said on national TV

00:06:32that this commissioner would answer to no one,

00:06:36including Vince McMahon.

00:06:40He did say that, King.

00:06:41Oh, no.

00:06:42You heard it.

00:06:44So, guess what, Vinny?

00:06:47You can't fire me.

00:06:50In fact, the only way that Sean Michaels would be incapable

00:06:57of being the WWF commissioner would be if I were to resign.

00:07:04And, Vince, there is no way in hell that is ever going to happen.

00:07:11Oh, my gosh.

00:07:13We got a lousy president.

00:07:14Now, we're stuck with a lousy commissioner.

00:07:17So, you may safely assume that you will be singing to the tune

00:07:23of Sweet Chin Music for a long, long time.

00:07:32I can't believe this.

00:07:34So, now that I'm back in office, let's get to business.

00:07:43Vince, you yourself have said that you can make dreams come true.

00:07:51Well, Vinman, you've made mine come true.

00:07:56So, now I'm going to make your dreams come true.

00:08:01B-roll the footage.

00:08:04What's he talking about?

00:08:05What is he doing?

00:08:06Now then, just to show you that this luck of the draw is on the up and up,

00:08:12Shane, I want to know what number I'll be entered at,

00:08:17and I just hope it's number two.

00:08:24That was the Royal Rumble drawing.

00:08:25Now, Vince, as you know, I have say-so over all WWF competitors,

00:08:35with the exception of Stone Cold Steve Austin.

00:08:42Wait just a minute now.

00:08:43Well, Vinny boy, when you entered the 1999 Royal Rumble,

00:08:50you yourself became a WWF competitor.

00:08:56That's right.

00:08:57What's he driving at here?

00:08:58Wait a minute.

00:08:59So, Vince, it is I that has control over you.

00:09:08Uh-oh.

00:09:09What?

00:09:11Vince McMahon will not be entering the Royal Rumble as the 30th competitor,

00:09:19as he picked.

00:09:21No, no, no, no.

00:09:24Stone Cold Steve Austin will be the first man to enter the Royal Rumble.

00:09:34Uh-oh.

00:09:35I don't like the sounds of this.

00:09:36And the second man who will be entering the Royal Rumble will be Vince McMahon.

00:09:45Whoa.

00:09:46No way.

00:09:47Mr. McMahon, Ryder, the Royal Rumble number two.

00:09:51Can he do this?

00:09:52Can he get away with this?

00:09:53Do what he wants.

00:09:54He's the commissioner.

00:09:55So as best I can tell, that ought to give old Stone Cold all night

00:10:00to open a can of whoop-ass on you.

00:10:05No way.

00:10:07Oh, my.

00:10:09Now, Vince, before I leave, I want to leave you with just one small detail.

00:10:20There's more?

00:10:22Sometime this evening, sometime within the next two hours,

00:10:31the Heartbreak Kid is going to leave this building

00:10:35and go out and get you a surprise.

00:10:40What?

00:10:41Late Christmas present.

00:10:45We don't want a surprise.

00:10:46And, Vince, I guarantee you that this surprise is going to drive you Stone Cold crazy.

00:10:58Whoa.

00:10:59Oh, my God.

00:11:00What?

00:11:01A Stone Cold surprise from Mr. McMahon.

00:11:05No.

00:11:09Now, hit our music.

00:11:16Oh, no.

00:11:17What else can happen tonight?

00:11:18Shawn Michaels is still commissioner.

00:11:20Shawn has stuck with Mr. McMahon.

00:11:23And apparently, Shawn has D-Generation X to back him up.

00:11:27I can't believe it.

00:11:28This is bad, Michael Cole.

00:11:29This is real bad.

00:11:32McMahon is number two in the Royal Rumble.

00:11:35Stone Cold is number one.

00:11:37McMahon's two.

00:11:38Stone Cold is one.

00:11:40Oh, my.

00:11:41I can't believe this, Michael Cole.

00:11:42This is not right.

00:11:43This is an outrage.

00:11:45Shawn Michaels is forcing Vince McMahon to be the number two entrant

00:11:49into the Royal Rumble.

00:11:50And now he says that tonight he's going to go out and get Mr. McMahon

00:11:54a Stone Cold surprise.

00:11:56A Stone Cold surprise right here tonight on Raw,

00:11:59plus the Hardcore Championship up for grabs.

00:12:02The Road Dogg defends against Al Snow.

00:12:05But don't worry.

00:12:06Look, Mr. McMahon has the Corporation Unified.

00:12:09He'll get even with Shawn Michaels somehow tonight.

00:12:12We're back on Raw on what's already been a shocking night.

00:12:16The World's Most Dangerous Man, Kent Shamrock,

00:12:19the Intercontinental Champion, set for action.

00:12:21A fully non-title contest is scheduled for one fall

00:12:24with a 20-minute time limit.

00:12:26Making his way to the ring from Sacramento, California,

00:12:29weighing in at 243 pounds,

00:12:32he's one half of the Tag Team Champions

00:12:34and the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Champion,

00:12:38the World's Most Dangerous Man, Kent Shamrock.

00:12:43And, Kent, in the past few weeks, Shamrock has been hounded by Billy Gunn.

00:12:47B.A. Billy Gunn wants a shot at the Intercontinental Championship,

00:12:50but Shamrock won't give it to him.

00:12:52Why would anybody in their right mind want to be in the same ring

00:12:55with Kent Shamrock?

00:12:56Well, Billy Gunn defeated Kent Shamrock a few weeks ago

00:12:59in an odd title matchup.

00:13:00Billy Gunn believes he's the number one contender.

00:13:03Well, I know one thing.

00:13:04And his opponent from Annville, Pennsylvania,

00:13:07weighing in at 246 pounds,

00:13:10the Lethal Weapon, B. The Flick Man.

00:13:15Billy Gunn can want everything he wants,

00:13:17but Kent Shamrock doesn't want to be in the same ring

00:13:19with a degenerate.

00:13:20It's as simple as that.

00:13:21Shamrock will have his hands full in this one

00:13:23against the Lethal Weapon, Steve Blackman,

00:13:25whose skills match up with Kent Shamrock.

00:13:27But what a night it's already been on Raw, King.

00:13:30Shawn Michaels is still commissioner, apparently.

00:13:32And he says that Mr. McMahon's going to get a stone-cold surprise

00:13:36before this night is through.

00:13:37That's if Shawn doesn't get dismembered first.

00:13:39Oh, my.

00:13:40Shamrock with an elbow to Blackman.

00:13:42Blackman with an elbow to Shamrock.

00:13:44Off the ropes now.

00:13:45Shamrock misses with a kick.

00:13:47And what a kick to the midsection by the Lethal Weapon.

00:13:50Well, you know, you got it right about one thing there, Michael.

00:13:53Shawn Michaels just might get dismembered

00:13:55before he can get anything done to Mr. McMahon here,

00:13:58before he can deliver that stone-cold surprise.

00:14:00But don't forget, Shawn Michaels apparently has backup.

00:14:02It looks like he's joined his ties with D-Generation X.

00:14:06I guess DX is letting bygones be bygones.

00:14:09Oh, forgive him.

00:14:10I hate that kind of stuff.

00:14:12Shawn Michaels has done a lot to D-Generation X in recent weeks.

00:14:16DX in Shawn Michaels' corner tonight

00:14:18as Shamrock now hammers away on Steve Blackman

00:14:21and Blackman with the right hand of his own.

00:14:22I know what it is with Shawn Michaels.

00:14:24He's looking at guys like Shamrock and The Rock,

00:14:26and he heard Mr. McMahon tell these guys to dismember him.

00:14:29So Shawn Michaels figures there's safety in numbers.

00:14:31I bet he went back there and he begged DX.

00:14:33Look, let me hang up.

00:14:34Wait a minute.

00:14:36What's up with this?

00:14:38Look at this now.

00:14:39That's Dan Severin coming down the ramp.

00:14:41Great power slam by Ken Shamrock.

00:14:43There's a cover now, hooks the leg,

00:14:45and Blackman gets the shoulder up.

00:14:47I mean, you know, what is Dan Severin showing up here?

00:14:50I thought this guy's injured.

00:14:51Well, last week on Raw,

00:14:52we saw Dan Severin for the first time in two months.

00:14:54He was watching Owen Hart's match.

00:14:56You see the neck brace on Dan Severin.

00:14:58Severin's suffering a severe neck injury

00:15:00at the hands of Owen Hart not once, but twice.

00:15:03And, of course, Severin's had issues in the past

00:15:05with Mr. Shamrock.

00:15:07Oh, Dan Severin thinks Owen Hart did a number on him.

00:15:10He don't want to mess with Ken Shamrock, I can assure you.

00:15:12Their rivalry dating back to the UFC days

00:15:15between Shamrock and Severin.

00:15:17Severin now right out in front of us, neck brace and all.

00:15:21And Shamrock now in total control

00:15:23of the lethal weapon, Steve Blackman.

00:15:26So Shamrock, with Severin outside,

00:15:28also, of course, been worried about Billy Gunn

00:15:30in recent weeks.

00:15:31Billy Gunn claims he's the number one contender

00:15:33to the Intercontinental Championship

00:15:34and wants a shot at Shamrock.

00:15:36I'm gonna tell you something about Blackman.

00:15:37Rolls him up here.

00:15:38Here's two.

00:15:39Shamrock kicks out almost a three count.

00:15:41Oh, what a clothesline.

00:15:43I don't even know if Ken Shamrock even realizes

00:15:45Dan Severin's out here yet.

00:15:46He gets in that zone.

00:15:47Oh, I think he sees him.

00:15:48Now he realizes it.

00:15:49Sees him right now.

00:15:51And, folks at home, you couldn't see it,

00:15:52but we had that good vantage point of Shamrock there.

00:15:55He just yelled to Shamrock, or to Severin, I should say,

00:15:57what are you doing here?

00:15:58Yeah, that was one of those icy UFC stares, wasn't it?

00:16:02And here's Blackman now.

00:16:03Reversal.

00:16:04Shamrock whipped into the corner,

00:16:05face first, and a drop kick from behind.

00:16:07Man.

00:16:08The lethal weapon, so quick, martial arts expert,

00:16:11really giving Shamrock a run for his money here

00:16:13across the top rope.

00:16:16Blackman and Severin have been pals in the past as well.

00:16:20Blackman now with Shamrock back across the knee.

00:16:24See, this is not good.

00:16:25As soon as Ken Shamrock realized that Dan Severin

00:16:27was out there, it threw him off his game mentally.

00:16:29I mean, that's a distraction, big time.

00:16:31Shamrock, nice duck down that time.

00:16:33Blackman missed with a kick,

00:16:34and belly to belly by Shamrock.

00:16:36Great maneuver by the world's most dangerous corporate man.

00:16:40And again, he's yelling at Severin,

00:16:41and Severin's up on the apron.

00:16:43In a neck brace.

00:16:44Oh, my.

00:16:45Shamrock didn't care.

00:16:47Wait a minute.

00:16:48Look at this.

00:16:49From behind is Billy Gunn.

00:16:50Watch it.

00:16:51Hey, ref, look at this.

00:16:52Oh, my.

00:16:53Billy Gunn, Shamrock face first.

00:16:56Ref, turn around.

00:16:57No way.

00:16:58The referee missed it.

00:16:59No way.

00:17:01It's over.

00:17:02Clarkman wins.

00:17:03Give the assist to Billy Gunn.

00:17:05With a lethal weapon, Steve Blackman.

00:17:09Lightning-like quickness of Billy Gunn.

00:17:11Come on, ref, did you not see Billy Gunn in here?

00:17:15So the distraction of Severin combined with Billy Gunn

00:17:18helped Blackman with a victory.

00:17:19There goes Shamrock,

00:17:20obviously going after the number one contender, Billy Gunn.

00:17:24Boy, that doesn't bode well for the corporation here tonight.

00:17:27Well, King, I'll tell you,

00:17:28the corporation has topped the latest edition

00:17:30of Southwest Airlines' Spirit Magazine.

00:17:32The Rock and Mr. McMahon on the cover.

00:17:34I'm telling you, if you thought the Rolling Stone was something,

00:17:36this cover story in Southwest Magazine

00:17:38proves that the corporation is red hot.

00:17:41Did you see the ring leader there?

00:17:42He looks great.

00:17:44And now, the WWF Rewind brought to you by 10-10-220.

00:17:49Dial it and talk up to 20 minutes for only 99 cents.

00:17:53Severin's on the apron.

00:17:54Shamrock distracted.

00:17:55Look at it.

00:17:56Billy Gunn from behind.

00:17:57Billy Gunn.

00:17:58He's in the ring, ref.

00:17:59Turn around.

00:18:01The lightning-like quickness of Billy Gunn

00:18:03and Steve Blackman is going to pick up the victory

00:18:05over Ken Shamrock.

00:18:07I can't believe it.

00:18:08Billy Gunn did it.

00:18:10That was the WWF Rewind brought to you by 10-10-220.

00:18:15Dial it and talk up to 20 minutes for only 99 cents.

00:18:18My God.

00:18:19King Billy Gunn.

00:18:20Shamrock going at it in the locker room.

00:18:23Shamrock and Billy Gunn hammering away at each other.

00:18:26I don't blame Shamrock.

00:18:28Billy Gunn has been stalking Ken Shamrock for weeks.

00:18:31He wants a shot at the Intercontinental Championship.

00:18:34Hold on.

00:18:35He just came out of his cushion.

00:18:36Ken Shamrock was mad.

00:18:37And now Shamrock is taking it to him.

00:18:39Go ahead.

00:18:40Get him.

00:18:41Teach him a lesson.

00:18:42Referees and officials trying to pull Ken Shamrock away

00:18:44from B.A. Billy Gunn.

00:18:46Let him go.

00:18:47Here you go.

00:18:48This is all about Billy Gunn wanting a title shot.

00:18:51Shamrock not giving it to him.

00:18:53Let me ask him.

00:18:54Who died and made Billy Gunn the number one contender

00:18:56for the Intercontinental title?

00:18:57Wait a minute.

00:18:58What the hell is Mankind doing here?

00:19:00Mankind.

00:19:01What?

00:19:03He's not scheduled for a matchup.

00:19:08Let's go back to two weeks ago on Raw.

00:19:11Shane McMahon challenged Mankind.

00:19:14Mankind dismantled Shane.

00:19:16And then he gave Mr. Jocko to Pat Patterson.

00:19:22And Mr. McMahon has not forgotten that attack on his son Shane.

00:19:25I've got to tell you.

00:19:27It's been a crazy couple weeks.

00:19:30And I think I've learned a little bit about myself.

00:19:34I've done a couple things for the first time.

00:19:38Maybe you saw it on Raw, but I swear it was the first time

00:19:43I'd ever grabbed a man's testicles in my life.

00:19:47What?

00:19:51And I've got to tell you, in a rugged, manly type of way,

00:19:54I kind of enjoyed it.

00:19:57Oh, come on.

00:19:58This guy's an idiot.

00:19:59Poor Pat Patterson.

00:20:01It was also the first time that Mick Foley has ever used the words

00:20:06suck it without a please in front of them.

00:20:12Hey, and I just found out.

00:20:15You like that, huh?

00:20:17No, I don't like that.

00:20:18I just found out that I've got a new hobby that I like best of all,

00:20:22and it's called kicking the McMahon family's asses.

00:20:28What?

00:20:31How dare him?

00:20:33He's done it for a couple of straight weeks.

00:20:35So, Mick McMahon, although you hate my guts,

00:20:40and I hate every single inch of you,

00:20:43I guess I've got a little favor to ask.

00:20:47I would like a shot at the Rocks title at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view.

00:20:56Oh, he wants a favor now, huh?

00:20:58And I think I deserve it.

00:21:01Not because I made your son Shane cry and whimper like a 2-year-old

00:21:05with a poop in his pants.

00:21:07Oh, you're going to get it.

00:21:11Not because I bounced your head off those beer kegs

00:21:15like Ricky Ricardo playing Babalu on the bongos.

00:21:19Yeah, he's a comedian.

00:21:23But because I see all these signs out here that say Foley is God.

00:21:33But I think they got one letter wrong.

00:21:35You see, Foley is not God, but he is pretty damn good.

00:21:40And I beat The Rock.

00:21:42I shoved a sock down his throat.

00:21:44And I deserve the shot at the Royal Rumble.

00:21:47King, he did beat The Rock at rock bottom,

00:21:50only to have it ripped away from him.

00:21:52What I humbly am asking you right now is to get your...

00:22:00Can I say ass on television?

00:22:02No!

00:22:04Get your ass out here now, Dad!

00:22:07He said it!

00:22:09Mankind demanding Mr. McMahon come out.

00:22:13I'm waiting for you, Mr. McMahon.

00:22:16He's asked Mr. McMahon for a favor.

00:22:18He didn't even call him Dad.

00:22:20A shot at the... Uh-oh.

00:22:22And there he is, the owner of the World Wrestling Federation.

00:22:25Will he grant Mankind his favor?

00:22:28At least anybody think I'm going to be surprised.

00:22:31I won't be.

00:22:32The corporate team is right behind me.

00:22:35Of course.

00:22:36As far as you go, Mankind,

00:22:40you're nothing but a disillusioned,

00:22:44decrepit, disfigured monster.

00:22:48Right!

00:22:50You asking to be the number one contender

00:22:55for the World Wrestling Federation title

00:22:58simply stains that sacred honor.

00:23:02Your name connected with the WWF title

00:23:05stains, indeed, the World Wrestling Federation itself.

00:23:09You see, you've had your opportunities in the past.

00:23:14And quite frankly, you blew it.

00:23:17You didn't listen to me.

00:23:19Had you listened to me, you may be the WWF champion now.

00:23:23But no, you had to do what you always did.

00:23:26You listened to them.

00:23:28What is it with you?

00:23:30All the cheap motel rooms, all the bad food you eat,

00:23:35all the sacrifices you put your physique through,

00:23:39and for what?

00:23:41Just for the roar of them.

00:23:45Yeah.

00:23:47They love it.

00:23:48God, how pathetic.

00:23:50How pathetic.

00:23:52I like that roar.

00:23:55I like that roar.

00:23:59You see, you crossed over the line.

00:24:03Because in essence, what you did was

00:24:07you stained, you soiled the good McMahon name

00:24:12when you put your filthy, slimy hands on my son Shane.

00:24:19And you've got the guts

00:24:22to ask me to be the number one contender against The Rock

00:24:27for the Royal Rumble.

00:24:29I'm amazed.

00:24:32Let me say this.

00:24:33You know and everyone in this building knows

00:24:36you don't deserve the right to be the number one contender.

00:24:41That's true.

00:24:42No, it isn't.

00:24:45You haven't paid your dues, Mankind, Mick Foley,

00:24:50Cactus Jack, Dude Love, whatever the hell your name is,

00:24:54if you even know, you haven't paid your dues.

00:24:57That's not true.

00:24:58Maybe one day you might come back up the ladder

00:25:01to attempt to take the hardcore title away,

00:25:04but you've even failed in that as of late.

00:25:07You, the number one contender for the WWF?

00:25:12No, no, that's not even funny.

00:25:14That's not laughable at all.

00:25:17You see, Mick, not only will you not have an opportunity

00:25:22to win the WWF title at the Royal Rumble,

00:25:26as far as I'm concerned,

00:25:28you will never ever again have that accolade.

00:25:34Thank goodness.

00:25:36However, being the benevolent individual I am, Mick,

00:25:40I'll tell you what I will do for you and I'll do it tonight.

00:25:44You will have the opportunity to enter the Royal Rumble.

00:25:48You see, you can get close to the title, but no cigar.

00:25:51Story of your life.

00:25:52Tell you what I'll do.

00:25:54You and Triple H, Hunter Hearst Helmsley,

00:25:57can go at it in that very ring tonight.

00:26:00Whoever wins the match is entered into the Royal Rumble.

00:26:05However, just one other thing,

00:26:08and I'd like to direct your attention to the titan trot.

00:26:11I have a little piece of footage I'd like to remind you of.

00:26:20Poor Shane. Look at this.

00:26:22But keep in mind, this was a challenge Shane laid out to mankind two weeks ago.

00:26:27He challenged mankind, King.

00:26:29All right, get it off. Get it off the screen.

00:26:33The match tonight, you versus Hunter Hearst Helmsley.

00:26:37The winner gets to go to the Royal Rumble.

00:26:39There's only one thing.

00:26:40There will be a guest referee,

00:26:42and that guest referee will be impartial.

00:26:44That guest referee will call it right down the line.

00:26:47Indeed, that guest referee will be my son, Shane.

00:26:52Oh, come on. That's not fair.

00:26:54Yes.

00:26:55Oh, just one other thing.

00:26:57Have a nice day.

00:27:01Now that's what mankind deserves.

00:27:03So tonight, it's mankind versus Triple H for a spot in the Rumble match.

00:27:07Shane McMahon is the special guest referee.

00:27:09That's great.

00:27:10So apparently, Mr. McMahon is still trying to drive a wedge.

00:27:13Wait a minute.

00:27:14That's Chyna and her girlfriend.

00:27:17We saw them last night on Heat.

00:27:18They're here again tonight on Raw.

00:27:20Whoa.

00:27:23We're back on Raw, getting set for Zyko.

00:27:25Listen to this great, sexy entrance music.

00:27:38This is it, Chyna.

00:27:40I'll tell you what I think.

00:27:43Let's get you in the mood, King.

00:27:45Sexual Chocolate heads to the ring.

00:27:47Last night on Heat, Mark Henry losing to Triple H

00:27:50after being distracted by his love interest, Chyna.

00:27:53What do you mean, bring it up?

00:27:56It happened, didn't it?

00:27:58We're living in the past.

00:27:59Well, Mark Henry is smitten by Chyna, to say the least.

00:28:04Sexual Chocolate getting ready for action tonight on Raw.

00:28:07The world's strongest man.

00:28:09And tonight, Raw is presented by the motor oil

00:28:12that provides maximum protection,

00:28:14Castrol GTX.

00:28:16Drive hard.

00:28:17And by WWF, the music, Volume 3.

00:28:19Hear the original entrance music of your favorite WWF stars

00:28:22on sale now at record stores and other fine retail.

00:28:25And by Burger King.

00:28:27If you ask us, it just tastes better.

00:28:33Great reaction for Goldust.

00:28:35He's set for one-on-one competition against Mark Henry.

00:28:38And those of you in the Springfield, Massachusetts area,

00:28:40tickets go on sale this Saturday at the Civic Center

00:28:44for a huge February event.

00:28:46And you can meet Zabel King from noon to 1 at the Civic Center.

00:28:51I can?

00:28:52This Saturday.

00:28:53I'm there!

00:28:54So Goldust set to take on Mark Henry.

00:28:56And to say the least, Mark Henry is a bit smitten with Chyna.

00:29:01He's walking around the locker room area, all smiles.

00:29:04He couldn't even concentrate on his match with Triple H

00:29:06last night on heat.

00:29:07How's he going to concentrate on Goldust?

00:29:09I don't know.

00:29:10I can't concentrate on anything after watching Goldust lick that rope.

00:29:13I mean, this guy's twisted.

00:29:14He's perverted.

00:29:15He's sick.

00:29:16I usually like that in a person, but not Goldust.

00:29:19We're getting set, folks.

00:29:20Tonight, we just found out that Mankind's going to take on Triple H.

00:29:24A spot in the Royal Rumble match is at stake.

00:29:28And Shane McMahon's going to be the special guest referee.

00:29:30Now, you can't tell me that's fair.

00:29:32What do you mean?

00:29:33Of course it's fair.

00:29:34Just what Mankind deserves.

00:29:36I'm just a little worried about that stone-cold surprise

00:29:39that Shawn Michaels has promised for the corporation later.

00:29:42And Shawn Michaels apparently still the Commissioner of the World Wrestling Federation.

00:29:46Mr. McMahon vows that the corporation will dismember Shawn Michaels,

00:29:51but Shawn has some backup.

00:29:52D-Generation X apparently in HBK's corner.

00:29:55Did you see the strength of Mark Henry there?

00:29:57I mean, he can toss a 250-pound man around like a feather.

00:30:01The 400-pounder from Sillsby, Texas seems the only thing that can control Mark Henry

00:30:05as of late is China, or I guess PMS for that matter.

00:30:10What?

00:30:11Big right hand.

00:30:12Mark Henry now locked up in the center of the ring with Goldust.

00:30:14There's a knee to the midsection.

00:30:16Oh, man.

00:30:17What's going to happen when Road Dogg puts that hardcore title on the line against Al Snow?

00:30:21I wonder if Al Snow's taken a bath this past week.

00:30:24I should certainly hope so.

00:30:26After that bloodbath at the hands of the Brood a few weeks ago.

00:30:29Goldust off the ropes now, whipped into the other side.

00:30:32Look at Henry.

00:30:33Misses with the right hand, and Goldust goes to work on those big tree trunks and legs

00:30:36for Mark Henry, who rakes the eyes of Goldust.

00:30:40Oh, what's this?

00:30:42Oh, no!

00:30:43Wow!

00:30:44Great maneuver by Goldust.

00:30:45Quickly into the cover, hooks the leg.

00:30:46There's two, and Mark Henry kicks out with authority.

00:30:50I got to give Goldust credit.

00:30:51That was a great move.

00:30:52Again, Mr. McMahon attempting to drive a wedge between D-Generation X and their adopted member,

00:30:58Mankind, forcing Triple H into a match against Mankind with a slide of the Royal Rumble on the line.

00:31:05Wow!

00:31:06Power slam by the 400-pounder.

00:31:08Who's the smartest man in the world, and why is Mr. McMahon?

00:31:11Good question for you.

00:31:13Mr. McMahon, smartest man in the world, according to you, King.

00:31:17Well, I'm telling you.

00:31:18You're right.

00:31:19He knows exactly what to do.

00:31:21Driving that wedge between DX and Mankind.

00:31:25That means Mankind's going to be out here.

00:31:27He'll have no backup.

00:31:28He'll have no help.

00:31:29I'll tell you what, though.

00:31:30Mr. McMahon better get back in that gym.

00:31:33He's no longer number 30 in the Royal Rumble match.

00:31:36The new commissioner has said Mr. McMahon will enter the Royal Rumble at number two.

00:31:41Oh, man!

00:31:42And guess who goes in at number one?

00:31:44Stone Cold.

00:31:45OK, OK.

00:31:46So Mr. McMahon and Stone Cold are going to be one-on-one for a few minutes in that Royal Rumble match.

00:31:51Well, don't forget that Mr. McMahon also offered $100,000 to anybody that eliminates Stone Cold Steve Austin.

00:31:59So that's 100,000 reasons that we don't have to worry about Austin winning the Royal Rumble.

00:32:03Oh, man!

00:32:04Oh, my!

00:32:05What strength by Mark Henry.

00:32:06So perhaps if Mr. McMahon can eliminate Stone Cold Steve Austin, more incentive for the owner of the World Wrestling Federation.

00:32:11Yeah!

00:32:12Oh, man!

00:32:13Think of the money he'd save.

00:32:14Uh-oh.

00:32:15Mark Henry now went for the cover, but look who's here.

00:32:17Look who's here.

00:32:18China and a girlfriend.

00:32:22We saw them on heat last night.

00:32:24Cost Mark Henry a match against Triple H.

00:32:30I think Mark's a little bit confused here.

00:32:32He better not be confused because Goldust's in behind.

00:32:35And he's going to pay for it.

00:32:36Back of his head into the mat.

00:32:40And Goldust now asking the fans, do you want some shattered dreams?

00:32:48So China once again has come out to the stage with a friend that we saw last night on heat.

00:32:55What is that all about?

00:32:56This is a major distraction for Mark Henry.

00:32:59He can't keep his eyes or his mind off China.

00:33:01Well, he better get his mind on Goldust and shattered dreams here.

00:33:04Oh, no!

00:33:05If this happens, you might as well forget about China.

00:33:09Mark Henry still stinging from that blow to the back of his head.

00:33:13No, ref, no!

00:33:14Oh, man!

00:33:15He got him!

00:33:16Shattered dreams delivered from Goldust to Mark Henry.

00:33:21It's got to be a disqualification.

00:33:22Yeah, the referee's called for the bell.

00:33:24Goldust will be disqualified.

00:33:28Mark Henry again distracted by China.

00:33:33Look at Goldust.

00:33:35He loses the match, but he just doesn't seem to care.

00:33:39Right now, poor Mark Henry looks like a loser.

00:33:41And what about Mark Henry, King?

00:33:42He is so smitten.

00:33:44He's like a 16-year-old in love with China.

00:33:47I know, he's like a lovesick kid.

00:33:50Two nights in a row now, he's allowed China to distract him from his business in the ring.

00:33:58And now China into the ring now with that friend of hers.

00:34:01Come on, China, Mark Henry needs some love and attention.

00:34:05Mark Henry stinging from the shattered dreams.

00:34:09There you go, help him.

00:34:10Oh, look!

00:34:11A kiss!

00:34:12That'll help him back to his feet.

00:34:14I hope you're not hurt too bad, Mark, because there's something I need you to listen to, okay?

00:34:20Now, listen.

00:34:25I have a little confession to make.

00:34:30The other night with you

00:34:34was incredible.

00:34:35Whoa!

00:34:37The other night?

00:34:38No, I'm serious, it was.

00:34:41But I'm afraid

00:34:44that I'm not enough woman for you.

00:34:47What?

00:34:48No, I'm serious.

00:34:50Because the fact is that you're way too much man for one woman's sexual chocolate.

00:34:55Well, everybody knows that.

00:34:57You are.

00:34:59So I want you to meet my friend, Sammy.

00:35:01Sammy?

00:35:02Now, I know you like tall women.

00:35:05Hello, Sammy.

00:35:06And I know that you like exotic dancers.

00:35:13So I have a little proposition for you.

00:35:19I thought

00:35:21that if it was only okay with you

00:35:25that Sammy and I

00:35:26that if it was only okay with you

00:35:30that Sammy and I

00:35:32can help you take a load off your mind.

00:35:36No!

00:35:37Timber!

00:35:38Wait a minute, he faded!

00:35:42Mark Henry has faded!

00:35:46Chyna's offering

00:35:49Oh my!

00:35:50What is she offering, King?

00:35:52Did I mean you don't know?

00:35:55Yeah.

00:35:56And I'll tell you what I mean.

00:36:08Somebody!

00:36:11Somebody!

00:36:15Oh my!

00:36:16King, wasn't that Dennis Knight hanging there?

00:36:19I don't know, but that looked horrible.

00:36:21Where was he?

00:36:23Last week on RAW

00:36:24we saw Dennis Knight attacked in the parking lot

00:36:27by the Acolytes

00:36:28and thrown into a truck of a car

00:36:30and now he's hanging somewhere.

00:36:33I'll tell you what, speaking of hanging

00:36:35The Godfather!

00:36:37And the Godfather!

00:36:39So the Godfather's set for action

00:36:41this week on RAW

00:36:42and the sign says it all

00:36:44but last weekend wasn't easy for the Godfather

00:36:47he was supposed to meet

00:36:48BA Billy Gunn in singles action

00:36:50but the corporation attacked the Godfather

00:36:52putting him out of action

00:36:53to set up a matchup between

00:36:55Kane and Billy Gunn

00:36:57Apparently Mr. McMahon had Billy Gunn next on the DX Hit List

00:37:01Yeah, Kane got him a little bit of that action too, didn't he?

00:37:06If you like what you're looking at

00:37:11Let me hear you say

00:37:14Pimpin' ain't easy!

00:37:16It ain't easy?

00:37:17He doesn't mean you, King.

00:37:18I like what I'm looking at

00:37:26And look at this guy

00:37:27And his opponent

00:37:28He weighs in at 281 pounds

00:37:32Tess!

00:37:33E. King is the corporate team's hired gun

00:37:37He is Tess

00:37:38who was in action last week

00:37:41It was now Venus vs. The Road Dog

00:37:43for the Hardcore Championship

00:37:46And the hired gun did just that

00:37:48He took out Val Venus

00:37:50Yeah, and then Val Venus came back later on

00:37:52and tried to do a number on Tess

00:37:55Didn't get the job done, though

00:37:57So Tess goes 6'6", 280 pounds

00:38:00Tremendous athlete

00:38:03He was a professional bodyguard

00:38:05His last gig as a bodyguard

00:38:07for the rock band Motley Crue

00:38:09before being discovered by the corporation

00:38:12And he's now the corporate team's hired gun

00:38:14And the corporate team

00:38:15may need that hired gun tonight

00:38:17Shawn Michaels has promised

00:38:18a stone-cold surprise

00:38:20for Mr. McMahon

00:38:21Quit reminding me

00:38:23I'll tell you what

00:38:24The Godfather's thinkin' the fight ain't easy

00:38:25And that's wrestling Tess!

00:38:27Godfather whipped into the rope

00:38:28Now, oh, Tess telegraphed that one

00:38:30Caught a boot to the face

00:38:31And there's a clothesline

00:38:32by The Godfather

00:38:36Godfather now with ease

00:38:37slamming Tess to the middle of the canvas

00:38:39Off the ropes now

00:38:41Oh!

00:38:42Leg across the sternum

00:38:43Cover now

00:38:44Could be a quick one

00:38:45There's two

00:38:46And Tess just gets that right shoulder up

00:38:48Now you got me thinkin' again

00:38:49about that stone-cold surprise

00:38:51I mean, what do you think he means?

00:38:53What does Shawn Michaels mean by that?

00:38:54He's got a stone-cold surprise

00:38:56for Mr. McMahon and the corporation

00:38:57Shawn Michaels says

00:38:58he has an ironclad contract

00:39:00He's still the commissioner

00:39:01of the World Wrestling Federation

00:39:03And here comes The Godfather now

00:39:05Choo-choo train!

00:39:06Caught him!

00:39:07Wow!

00:39:08And Tess face-first

00:39:10And wait a minute

00:39:13Look at this now

00:39:14Val Venus!

00:39:18He was put to the test last week by Tess

00:39:20Boot to the face!

00:39:22Val Venus

00:39:23He's a close friend of The Godfather's

00:39:25And I think of the hoes

00:39:27I'm not sure

00:39:28And look at the athletic ability

00:39:30Tess just stepped over those top ropes

00:39:31but he caught a boot to the midsection

00:39:33Slammed into the barricade now

00:39:34by Godfather

00:39:35And there's a right hand

00:39:37on the corporate team's hired guy

00:39:40You see this action outside the ring

00:39:42You're gonna see a lot more of that

00:39:43later on

00:39:44when Road Dogg defends

00:39:45the Hardcore Championship

00:39:47against Al Snow

00:39:48Hey ref!

00:39:49How about doing something here?

00:39:50Watch all those fists from The Godfather

00:39:52Val Venus likes what he sees

00:39:54He mentioned a good friend

00:39:55of The Godfather's

00:39:56And Godfather into the ring post

00:39:58Shoulder first

00:39:59And the referee's gonna call for the bell

00:40:01Uh-oh

00:40:02We got problems here

00:40:03Look at this!

00:40:04Val Venus

00:40:05Head-on with Tess

00:40:06And they're going at it

00:40:07outside the ring

00:40:08Come on, Tess!

00:40:09Get him!

00:40:11Val Venus and Tess hammering away

00:40:15This boiled over last week

00:40:17Tess cost Val Venus a shot

00:40:18at the Hardcore Championship

00:40:22We got a melee going here

00:40:24Get them apart!

00:40:26Referees and officials pulling apart

00:40:27Val Venus and Tess

00:40:30Val Venus wants some more

00:40:31Here he comes again!

00:40:32Look out now!

00:40:35Going at it on the ramp

00:40:36Tested Val Venus

00:40:38Hit him!

00:40:42And Tess just said it's not over

00:40:43Wait a minute

00:40:48Shawn Michaels with D-Generation X

00:40:50Apparently

00:40:52They're back together

00:40:53I'm telling you

00:40:54He thinks there's safety in numbers

00:40:55That's why he's hanging with them

00:40:58And now

00:40:59The Glover Slam of the Week

00:41:00Glover

00:41:01New for Nintendo 64 and PC CD-ROM

00:41:03Gotta love the Glove

00:41:05No, watch it!

00:41:06No!

00:41:07Mankind has decapitated him

00:41:09Double on DDT

00:41:12No, no, Shane!

00:41:13Shawn, let him come!

00:41:14Mankind hammering away

00:41:15Now it's Shane

00:41:17No!

00:41:18A knee to the face of Shane

00:41:20And there it is!

00:41:21Somebody call Mr. McMahon!

00:41:22Mr. Socko!

00:41:24Shane gets Socko

00:41:25That was the Glover Slam of the Week

00:41:27Glover

00:41:28New for Nintendo 64 and PC CD-ROM

00:41:30Gotta love the Glove

00:41:33And we're back on RAW

00:41:34We're set for Mankind

00:41:35Mankind vs. Triple H

00:41:36The winner gets a slot

00:41:38In the Royal Rumble match

00:41:40In just three weeks

00:41:41Ladies and gentlemen

00:41:42The special guest referee

00:41:43And one of the owners

00:41:44Of the World Wrestling Federation

00:41:46Shane McMahon

00:41:49And there he is, Jay

00:41:50I'm gonna tell you

00:41:51I don't see how he can look so cool

00:41:53Calm and collected

00:41:55This is a young man

00:41:56That has been emotionally scarred

00:41:58We heard his father Vince McMahon

00:41:59Tell you, I mean

00:42:00To be

00:42:01To be at the mercy

00:42:02Of a freak like Mankind

00:42:04And then to realize

00:42:05That your friends

00:42:06The rest of the corporation

00:42:08Are not allowed to help you

00:42:09Because they're being held back

00:42:10By Shawn Michaels

00:42:12Oh

00:42:13That did permanent damage

00:42:14To Shawn Michaels

00:42:16For Shane

00:42:29And keeping my king

00:42:30Mr. McMahon

00:42:31Says anyone who comes

00:42:32Anywhere near

00:42:33Shane McMahon

00:42:35Will pay

00:42:36Right

00:42:37The permanent damage

00:42:38Is gonna be done

00:42:39Sometime tonight

00:42:40To Shawn Michaels

00:42:41He will be dismembered

00:42:42One way or the other

00:42:45Look at Shane right here

00:42:46In the ring

00:42:53Good

00:42:55You heard that

00:42:56Didn't you, Michael?

00:42:57Well, despite what happened

00:42:58Two weeks ago

00:42:59Shane McMahon just said

00:43:00That he will call this match

00:43:01Down the middle

00:43:02That he will be

00:43:03An impartial official

00:43:04For this big matchup

00:43:10You know, Mankind

00:43:11Comes down here

00:43:12In this ragged shirt

00:43:13The ragged tie

00:43:14The mask

00:43:15The tattered pants

00:43:16He might as well

00:43:17Just have a bullseye

00:43:18Painted on his chest

00:43:19You know what he might as well do?

00:43:20He might as well

00:43:21Just take a hike

00:43:22And leave the WWF

00:43:23He's been denied

00:43:24The chance to ever wrestle

00:43:25For the WWF title

00:43:27So what future

00:43:28Is there for him here?

00:43:29He's got the future

00:43:30If anybody ever

00:43:31Deserves a shot

00:43:32It's Mankind

00:43:33And if he can win this matchup

00:43:34He'll be in the Royal Rumble match

00:43:36And could get a shot

00:43:37If he can win

00:43:38The Royal Rumble

00:43:39I'll agree

00:43:40He deserves a beach shot, maybe

00:43:41But why does he just put

00:43:42Look at him, he's a freak

00:43:43Why does he just put a bullseye

00:43:44On his chest

00:43:45Line up and let the corporate team

00:43:46Shoot arrows at him

00:43:47That's what it's like

00:43:48Mr. McMahon is just trying

00:43:49To do all he can

00:43:51To knock Mick Foley down

00:43:52Look at that look

00:43:55Poor scarred Shane

00:43:57Scarred Shane

00:43:58There's a little smile

00:43:59On his face there

00:44:00But he claims

00:44:01He will be impartial

00:44:02A slot in the Royal Rumble

00:44:04Is on the line

00:44:05We already know

00:44:06Two participants

00:44:07Number one

00:44:08Stone Cold Steve Austin

00:44:10Number two

00:44:11And an edict handed down

00:44:12Tonight from Commissioner

00:44:13Shawn Michaels

00:44:14Mr. McMahon

00:44:16My prediction

00:44:17To win the Royal Rumble

00:44:18Who?

00:44:19Stone Cold

00:44:20Mr. McMahon

00:44:21Oh come on

00:44:22Well Mr. McMahon

00:44:23Has been in training

00:44:24He's in tremendous shape

00:44:25But he may have to be

00:44:26In even better training

00:44:27For the next three weeks

00:44:28He's gonna be number two

00:44:29In the Rumble

00:44:30At Triple H now

00:44:31With a right hand

00:44:32To Mankind

00:44:34Mr. McMahon

00:44:35Attempting to drive

00:44:36A wedge

00:44:37Between Mankind

00:44:39And his new family

00:44:40D-Generation X

00:44:43That much is apparent

00:44:46Triple H now

00:44:47You know what they say

00:44:48All's fair in love and war

00:44:49In the WWF

00:44:52Shane McMahon

00:44:53The official in this matchup

00:44:55Promises to call it

00:44:56Down the middle

00:44:57As Triple H now

00:44:58Working on the left hand

00:44:59Left arm I should say

00:45:00Of Mankind

00:45:02Would you be a little quieter?

00:45:03I don't think

00:45:04I don't think Shane can hear

00:45:05Mankind if he gives up

00:45:08A slot in the Royal Rumble

00:45:09On the line

00:45:10Don't forget

00:45:11Mr. McMahon

00:45:12Is putting a hundred thousand

00:45:13Dollar bounty

00:45:14On the head

00:45:15Of Stone Cold Steve Austin

00:45:17Any superstar eliminates

00:45:18Him from the Rumble

00:45:20They get a hundred thousand dollars

00:45:22That's a

00:45:23That's a hundred thousand

00:45:24Reason

00:45:25That Stone Cold will not win

00:45:26The only sad thing

00:45:27About that is that money

00:45:28Is gonna come out of

00:45:29Out of Shane McMahon's

00:45:30Trust fund

00:45:32Well one of them at least

00:45:33Shawn Michaels

00:45:35Has promised a

00:45:36Stone Cold surprise

00:45:38For Mr. McMahon

00:45:39And the corporation

00:45:40Oh!

00:45:41Sometime tonight

00:45:42That's not right

00:45:43Triple H with a

00:45:44Clothesline

00:45:45On Mankind

00:45:46The former

00:45:47Intercontinental champion

00:45:48Triple H

00:45:49And the rest of

00:45:50D-Generation X

00:45:51Has adopted Mankind

00:45:52In recent weeks

00:45:53Has given Mankind

00:45:54That family so to speak

00:45:55Oh hey!

00:45:56Forget about Mankind

00:45:57Let's talk about Steve

00:45:58Look at how

00:45:59Impartial he's being

00:46:00He's calling it

00:46:01Right down the line

00:46:02Mr. McMahon

00:46:03Giving credit

00:46:04Mankind now

00:46:05Off the ropes

00:46:06Look out!

00:46:07Drop kick

00:46:08Baseball slide

00:46:09Triple H

00:46:10Off the barricade

00:46:11Triple H and Mankind

00:46:12Obviously don't

00:46:13Hate each other

00:46:14But this is

00:46:15The WWF

00:46:17Both of these men

00:46:18Have business

00:46:19To take care of

00:46:20And that business

00:46:21Is getting a slide

00:46:22In the Royal Rumble

00:46:23Wait a minute

00:46:24Be careful Shane

00:46:25You get more than

00:46:26Emotionally scarred

00:46:27If you mess with that idiot

00:46:30Mankind

00:46:31Mankind

00:46:32Who twice before

00:46:33In the past two months

00:46:34Look at Triple H

00:46:35Now over the top rope

00:46:36That's good

00:46:37Good move

00:46:38Triple H

00:46:39Wait a minute

00:46:40It's over

00:46:41That was a quick count

00:46:42What?

00:46:43That was a quick count

00:46:44Good move Mankind

00:46:45You're not going to be

00:46:46In the Royal Rumble

00:46:47The McMahons have once again

00:46:49Screwed Mankind

00:46:51Well if anyone

00:46:52Deserves it

00:46:53If anyone deserves to lose

00:46:54It's him

00:46:55Mankind

00:46:56Mankind is not eligible

00:46:57For the Rumble

00:46:58That was a quick count

00:46:59You saw it

00:47:00That will teach Mankind

00:47:01To ever put his

00:47:02Mitts

00:47:03On Shane McMahon

00:47:05Mitt

00:47:08Hey I'm sorry

00:47:09But business

00:47:11Is business

00:47:12That's right

00:47:13Business is business

00:47:14A win

00:47:15Is a win

00:47:16And when it comes to

00:47:17The WWF title

00:47:19I'll take it any

00:47:20Way

00:47:21I can get it

00:47:23You got it

00:47:24Well Triple H

00:47:25Hey

00:47:26But I will say one thing

00:47:28Happy New Year

00:47:30Wait a minute

00:47:31Triple H

00:47:32He's got Shane

00:47:33No wait

00:47:36Pettibre

00:47:38Triple H delivers

00:47:58Look at this

00:48:01I'm gonna show you

00:48:03A little move

00:48:04That Jim McGonagall

00:48:05Taught me

00:48:06Back in Warren Melville

00:48:09What's he doing?

00:48:34Vince

00:48:35I've changed my mind

00:48:38You see

00:48:39I no longer desire

00:48:41A title shot

00:48:43At the Royal Rumble

00:48:44Do I Shane?

00:48:45Ah

00:49:38The WWF championships

00:49:40On the line

00:49:41Mankind vs The Rock

00:49:43I can't believe that this is awful

00:49:45This is awful

00:49:46Getting the medical attention

00:49:48A drastic measure

00:49:50By Mankind

00:49:51A bizarre man

00:49:52Who's obviously

00:49:53Snapped

00:49:54Man

00:49:55I mean

00:49:56Let's face it

00:49:57McMahon

00:49:58Mr. McMahon's been coerced

00:50:00Mankind used Shane McMahon

00:50:02As a hostage

00:50:03As bait

00:50:04Mankind is snapped

00:50:07And now

00:50:08Now Mr. McMahon has given Mankind

00:50:10A title match tonight

00:50:59Had this to say

00:51:00But I will say one thing

00:51:01Happy New Year

00:51:03Shane didn't deserve this

00:51:04Well he delivered the pedigree

00:52:59So D'Lo now locks up

00:53:00The center of the ring

00:53:01Side headlock

00:53:02On Edge

00:53:03Saw Mark Henry

00:53:04A bit earlier on

00:53:05Smitten by Chyna

00:53:06Second night in a row

00:53:09You know what I'm still

00:53:10Worrying about?

00:53:11What?

00:53:12That stone cold surprise

00:53:13We've been promised tonight

00:53:14Shawn Michaels promising

00:53:15A stone cold surprise

00:53:17For the corporate team

00:53:18Nice dropkick by Edge

00:53:19Kicked to the midsection now

00:53:21D'Lo whipped into the ropes

00:53:23Tried for the hip toss

00:53:24D'Lo blocked it nicely that time

00:53:26Grabs the neck of Edge

00:53:27Edge kicked to the midsection

00:53:29Oh watch what

00:53:30D'Lo's got it

00:53:31Edge kicked to the midsection

00:53:32Oh watch what

00:53:33What a maneuver by Edge

00:53:35What a tremendous athlete

00:53:38Look out D'Lo

00:53:39And there goes D'Lo over the top rope

00:53:43I can't wait for that

00:53:44Hardcore championship match tonight

00:53:46Road Dogg versus Al Snow

00:53:48Look at this

00:53:49Wow! Edge over the top rope

00:53:51Just took out D'Lo Brown

00:53:53Thank goodness for that chest protector

00:53:56You think this action's tremendous?

00:53:58Wait till Mankind takes on The Rock

00:54:00For the WWF Championship

00:54:03We gotta take another look at this fly kick

00:54:05Look at this off the top rope

00:54:08Yeah look at that

00:54:09Oh D'Lo counters

00:54:10Face first into the barricade

00:54:12Goes Edge

00:54:15The odds stacked against Mankind tonight

00:54:17In that championship matchup

00:54:19Of course the corporate team

00:54:20You know is gonna be sniffing around ringside

00:54:23Yeah and I'll tell you something

00:54:24About the corporate team and Mr. McMahon

00:54:26They're not gonna take

00:54:27Oh that was beautiful

00:54:28He's not gonna take

00:54:29Shawn Michaels little uh

00:54:31Words that he said tonight

00:54:32Lying down

00:54:33It's a little announcement

00:54:34I can assure you that

00:54:35He's gonna get Shawn Michaels dismembered

00:54:37Mr. McMahon is one way or the other

00:54:39Yeah he may have Mankind dismembered as well

00:54:41After what Mankind did to Shane

00:54:42Remember

00:54:43Mr. McMahon said

00:54:44Anybody who comes anywhere near Shane McMahon

00:54:47Lays any hand on Shane McMahon

00:54:49Will pay

00:54:51Deservedly so

00:54:53Edge backed into the corner now

00:54:54The former European champion

00:54:56Shot to the chest of Edge

00:54:57Ow

00:54:59Listen listen

00:55:01Okay what if Mick Foley would somehow

00:55:03Pull it off

00:55:04Win the championship tonight

00:55:06What kind of champion

00:55:07Would Mankind Mick Foley make

00:55:10I know you're kidding me right

00:55:11No I mean he

00:55:12He has a chance

00:55:13It's a long shot

00:55:14He's the underdog

00:55:15But what if he wins

00:55:17Theoretically right

00:55:18Theoretically in your mind

00:55:20Oh what a maneuver by D'Lo

00:55:22I can just tell you

00:55:23That if Mankind were to win the WWF title

00:55:25It would be the blackest day

00:55:27In the history of the World Wrestling Federation

00:55:29I mean come on let's face it

00:55:31You know what Mr. McMahon thought of

00:55:32Stone Cold Steve Austin as champion

00:55:34And Stone Cold would look like Prince Charming

00:55:37Compared to Mankind

00:55:39Cover now by D'Lo on Edge

00:55:40A kick out after two

00:55:42Let's take another look now

00:55:43At this tremendous move

00:55:44By D'Lo Brown

00:55:45Beautiful

00:55:46Running powerbomb

00:55:49Can't believe Edge even got up from that

00:55:50The WWF champion

00:55:51The Rock King

00:55:52He embodies Mr. McMahon

00:55:55He is the champion Mr. McMahon wants him to be

00:55:57I guess The Rock

00:55:58Well sure

00:55:59He's rich

00:56:00He's good looking

00:56:01He's educated

00:56:02He's got charisma

00:56:04I mean he's got intelligence

00:56:05He's got it all

00:56:06But King Mankind's a tremendous talent

00:56:08And you gotta give him credit

00:56:10He's a freak

00:56:11He has tremendous heart King

00:56:13Tremendous heart

00:56:15You can't take that away from him

00:56:16And keep in mind

00:56:17He already defeated The Rock at Rock Bottom

00:56:20It can be done

00:56:21I'm so sick of hearing you talk about Mankind

00:56:24Look at this

00:56:25Watch it D'Lo

00:56:26Oh!

00:56:27What an athletic move by Edge

00:56:28D'Lo in trouble

00:56:29He's in La La Land

00:56:30Edge on the top rope now

00:56:31Watch yourself D'Lo

00:56:32He's gonna fly

00:56:33What a cross body

00:56:34Into a lateral press

00:56:35Two

00:56:36And D'Lo gets the shoulder up

00:56:39Wait a minute

00:56:40Here comes trouble

01:16:17yeah I gotta admit

01:16:19that's a well deserved ovation

01:16:21let's take another look

01:16:23at this tremendous action

01:16:25in the turning point of the matchup

01:16:27a pile driver

01:16:29boom

01:16:31and those wooden flats out there

01:16:33in the snow

01:16:35as we say

01:16:37balls count anywhere folks

01:16:49I got a plan

01:16:51I got a plan for McMahon tonight

01:17:17So Shawn Michaels obviously off

01:17:19the stone cold surprise he promised

01:17:21earlier on

01:17:39This is a live shot outside the arena

01:17:41this is what's left king of Shawn Michaels

01:17:43after a brutal savage

01:17:45attack just a few moments ago

01:17:47well I mean you know

01:17:49he had it coming

01:17:51Mr. McMahon warned him this is what was gonna happen

01:17:53he said he was gonna get dismembered

01:17:55as we left the air Shawn Michaels having problems

01:17:57getting into that car

01:17:59went back to the door area

01:18:01and then he heard someone yell out

01:18:03well watch this right here he realizes

01:18:05he's been had

01:18:07he realizes he's in trouble

01:18:17get him

01:18:29back now live

01:18:31the emergency medical technicians

01:18:33attending to Shawn Michaels after that

01:18:35savage attack by the corporation

01:18:39nobody can condone this

01:18:41but obviously Mr. McMahon did

01:18:43look they put his face right through the windshield of that car

01:18:47I thought I heard

01:18:49Mr. McMahon's voice

01:18:51as Shawn turned around

01:18:53could this be the dismemberment

01:18:55of Shawn Michaels

01:18:57that Mr. McMahon promised

01:18:59I don't know but I don't

01:19:01think he deserved this

01:19:05the corporate team has gone too far

01:19:07we saw the big boss man

01:19:09attack Shawn Michaels

01:19:11before the camera was knocked out of the camera

01:19:13there was more people than the big boss man

01:19:15who else was involved

01:19:17shoved his face through the windshield

01:19:19of that car

01:19:23this is brutal

01:19:25Shawn Michaels did not

01:19:27deserve this

01:19:33trying to put that neck brace on Shawn Michaels

01:19:35who had his face shoved through

01:19:37that windshield of that car

01:19:41King is this what Mr. McMahon promised

01:19:43is this the dismemberment

01:19:45that Mr. McMahon promised

01:19:47what do you think

01:19:49you're seeing it just like I'm seeing it

01:19:51nobody deserves this

01:19:53nobody

01:19:59so obviously Shawn Michaels

01:20:01on his way to a medical facility

01:20:05hopefully we'll get some sort of word

01:20:07on the condition

01:20:09of the heartbreak kid Shawn Michaels

01:20:11this is pathetic

01:20:15wow look at that windshield

01:20:17the remains of the car

01:20:29so it's Mankind

01:20:31next on the corporate team's hit list

01:20:33Mankind to take on

01:20:35The Rock for the WWF championship

01:20:37no disqualification

01:20:39in case

01:20:41Mankind

01:20:43I think if I'm Mankind right now

01:20:45if I know what happened to Shawn Michaels

01:20:47I gotta be real worried

01:20:49Mankind holding Shane McMahon hostage

01:20:51earlier on

01:20:53forcing Mr. McMahon

01:20:55to agree to this matchup against The Rock

01:20:57in the no disqualification stipulation

01:20:59wait a minute

01:21:01here comes DX

01:21:03DX is adopted

01:21:05Mankind is part of the

01:21:07family in recent weeks

01:21:09this is really getting interesting now

01:21:11and here is Mankind

01:21:13the kid who played

01:21:15Cowboys and Indians as a kid

01:21:17and he said he's always the Indian

01:21:19because he stood up for the

01:21:21underdog and that's what he is in this

01:21:23matchup, an underdog

01:21:25he's an underdog not only

01:21:27against The Rock

01:21:31here's what I'm wondering

01:21:33does DX know what happened to Shawn Michaels

01:21:35I don't know

01:21:37I don't know

01:21:39I don't know what to believe

01:21:41I don't know what to think anymore

01:21:45all I know is the WWF championship

01:21:47is up for grabs

01:21:49there's no disqualification

01:21:51The Rock against Mankind

01:21:53and the odds are stacked against

01:21:55Mick Foley

01:21:57not only the great athlete The Rock

01:21:59but the entire corporation

01:22:01will obviously

01:22:03be on the ring side

01:22:05and there's no disqualification

01:22:07I'm worried because The Rock was not prepared

01:22:09for this match

01:22:11he still doesn't have his wrestling attire on

01:22:13but he's a champion King

01:22:15he should always be ready

01:22:17The Rock

01:22:19is what Mr. McMahon wants a champion to be

01:22:21he embodies

01:22:23the WWF championship

01:22:25but can you imagine if Mankind

01:22:27could somehow pull it out

01:22:29and win the championship

01:22:31you don't want to imagine it

01:22:33I mean look at him

01:22:35he's a freak

01:22:37even Mr. McMahon said he's a genetically altered

01:22:39mentally deficient freak

01:22:41come on and face it

01:22:43he's lost most of his teeth

01:22:45he's only got one ear

01:22:47he's pulled out most of his own hair

01:22:49and that's not even to mention

01:22:51all the thousands of brain cells that he's missing

01:22:53that gold is the centerpiece

01:22:55of this company

01:22:57the WWF championship

01:22:59Mankind on the cover of the Southwest Airlines

01:23:01magazine with Mr. McMahon

01:23:03oh come on that'd be a joke

01:23:05Mankind obviously

01:23:07the underdog

01:23:09and here we go now

01:23:11and Rock hammering away on Mankind

01:23:13this is for the WWF title

01:23:15take it to him Rock

01:23:17and there are no disqualifications

01:23:19the corporation on one side of the ring

01:23:21D-Generation X on the other

01:23:23why are they allowing DX

01:23:25to stay out here

01:23:27on the corporations out there

01:23:29why not DX

01:23:31no disqualification

01:23:33I think

01:23:35Ken Shamrock might have got in a little cheap shot there

01:23:37but that's ok

01:23:39watch it

01:23:41oh

01:23:43and Mankind now

01:23:45hammering away on the corporate champion

01:23:47the Rock

01:23:49I'll tell you King

01:23:51there couldn't be two more opposite

01:23:53men in this matchup

01:23:55he's a star

01:23:57he's good looking, he's rich and famous

01:23:59and he's the champ

01:24:01he's the corporate champ

01:24:03and this match is for that title

01:24:05let me tell you something now

01:24:07you realize this is no disqualification

01:24:09so I don't care if DX

01:24:11and all the corporation is out here

01:24:13this match is not going to end up by having

01:24:15a whole bunch of other wrestlers jump in the ring

01:24:17I mean it's not going to end up

01:24:19with some kind of wild schmoz out here

01:24:21this match is going to

01:24:23not like the other league

01:24:25as the Rock now hammers away

01:24:27on Mankind

01:24:29now goes for the steel stairs

01:24:31as you see Mr. McMahon looking on

01:24:33and there's your

01:24:35loser Mankind

01:24:37I'll tell you what King

01:24:39over his 15 year career

01:24:41Nick Foley has given it his all

01:24:43wait a minute

01:24:45that first one was for Mr. McMahon

01:24:47I think that second one was for Shane

01:24:49and you have to agree

01:24:51Mankind's greatest attribute

01:24:53is his heart

01:24:55listen to this

01:24:57steel stair to the back

01:24:59his greatest attribute is what?

01:25:01his heart, his perseverance

01:25:03I'm tired of hearing that word

01:25:05he's an idiot

01:25:07he doesn't deserve this title shot here tonight

01:25:09Mr. McMahon was coerced into giving it to him

01:25:11Mankind has

01:25:13put his body through so much pain

01:25:15over his 15 year career

01:25:17Mankind once said that

01:25:19doctors didn't think he'd make it past his

01:25:2130th birthday

01:25:23but he's here today

01:25:31well obviously the Rock is here

01:25:33obviously he's just checked Mankind in

01:25:35to the Smackdown hotel

01:25:37on the corner of Know Your Role Boulevard

01:25:39and Jabroni Drive

01:25:41maybe a little thirsty Mankind wants some water here
