00:00You know something Mega Maniacs, in seven days and seven nights,
00:04the Money Incorporated issued the challenge, and we accepted the fight, man.
00:10Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, but
00:12that didn't have nothing to do with Brutus' mug at all.
00:15You know something, dudes?
00:17We accept your challenge for WrestleMania, and
00:19with the titles on the line, what could be better?
00:22And Jimmy Hart has proved that he's the number one Hulkamaniac around here,
00:26because we sent him out to do a job, and in seven short days, you did it, Jimmy.
00:31You better believe it, Hulkster.
00:33The Mega Maniacs sent Jimmy Hart to get a contract signed, and
00:36that's exactly what I did.
00:38Money Incorporated, remember one thing.
00:40I know all of your strong points, baby, and I know all of your weaknesses.
00:43Well, you know, they sent Brutus the barber bionic was the weak link in this
00:48team all week long at Venice Beach, California.
00:51I've been pounding him in the head with a metal suitcase.
00:55But tell him, Brutus, what we've been worried about mostly.
00:57Well, you know something, Hulkster?
00:59I've been trying to figure out how to get those turn signals and
01:02blinkers off our new Harleys, so we can lay those title belts
01:07across the front of our ape hangers, so that our arms are gonna hang in the breeze
01:11while we're heading down the coast highway.
01:13Well, you know, brother, we're gonna be looking good when we drive from Venice
01:18all the way down to Malibu Beach with the WWF Tag Team titles
01:22on the front of our wide lines, brother.
01:24But you know something, Money Incorporated?
01:26The new song we've been training to goes just like this.
01:30Getting to know you, getting to know all about you.
01:35But what about the surprise, brothers?
01:38Money Incorporated, not only are we gonna deplete all your assets,
01:42not only are we gonna bankroll you and break you in two,
01:45we got a little surprise for you, brothers.
01:48And by the way, from New York, it's Monday Night Raw.
01:53Whatcha gonna do?

02:25Welcome, everyone, to Monday Night Raw.
02:27I'm Vince McMahon, along with the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
02:29And he's back.
02:31Rob Bartlett is back.
02:33And if you joined us last week,
02:35or if there was any doubt in your mind
02:37as to whether or not Elvis Presley was alive,
02:39there can't be any doubt whatsoever
02:41if you tuned in last week,
02:43because Bartlett slayed him.
02:45Elvis is definitely dead.
02:47Absolutely.
02:49And talk about what a dead or alive.
02:51That's Money Incorporated
02:53by the Mega Maniacs of WrestleMania 9.
02:55But tonight,
02:57the Money Incorporated,
02:59they're wanted by Virgil
03:01and El Matadoro, yeah.
03:03Yeah, but that's just a companion
03:05of the match I'm looking for, Randy.
03:07The one that match I'm looking forward to, man,
03:09is the model, Rick Martel,
03:11staring off against Mr. Perfect.
03:13I like it.
03:15All kinds of World Wrestling Federation
03:17action coming at you
03:19on Monday Night Raw!
03:21Dig it!
03:23The following contest
03:25is a tag team match
03:27scheduled for one fall.
03:29Entering the ring
03:31are a total combined weight
03:33of 464 pounds,
03:35Virgil
03:37and El Matador
03:39Vito Santana!
03:41What a tag team combination!
03:43Yeah, that's right.
03:45And the winner
03:47of this tag team
03:49combination,
03:51El Matador and Virgil,
03:53who will test the skills
03:55of the tag team champions
03:57of the World Wrestling Federation.
03:59And you can bet
04:01the Mega Maniacs
04:03looking on.
04:05And here come
04:07the tag team
04:09who they will face
04:11at WrestleMania.
04:14I. R. S. Money!
04:17In the arena!
04:29And there we have it.
04:31Thanks to Mr. Clinton,
04:33you tag teams are finally
04:35going to have to pay
04:37your fair share.
04:43Virgil
04:45teaming up with El Matador.
04:47And you can bet
04:49they are really going to give
04:51Money Incorporated a run
04:53for their money here on Monday Night Raw.
04:55Absolutely, and Money Incorporated
04:57is their marked man
04:59by the Mega Maniacs.
05:01But they got to worry about
05:03Virgil and Santana
05:05right now.
05:07And you just got to look
05:09at that metal attache case.
05:11And that metal attache case
05:13obviously making its acquaintance
05:15some time ago with the forehead
05:17of Brutus the Barber of Beefcake.
05:19And it was not so much the act itself
05:21as it turned out
05:23as the intention
05:25that raised the ire
05:27of the Red and the Yellow.
05:29The hoaxter himself who is back
05:31in the WWF.
05:33What do they keep in that suitcase, Vince?
05:35I would imagine
05:37several bricks.
05:39Who knows?
05:41Maybe it's chock full of money.
05:43Maybe they might have an extra pair of pants.
05:47Santana
05:49with DiBiase against the ropes.
05:51Uh-huh.
05:53And the tippers likely to flare
05:55here in this matchup.
05:57If the Matador wins this, you think
05:59he'll take DiBiase's ear off?
06:01He could very well.
06:03Who knows? Take it home for a trophy.
06:05Matador back to the corner now.
06:07Clean break.
06:09Uh, not likely.
06:11Not likely at all.
06:13You're talking about a ruthless tag team combination.
06:15You're talking about money and corporate.
06:17Nice reversal by Santana. Elbow to the kisser.
06:19A cover on Real 2.
06:21Quickly up
06:23and quickly right back down.
06:25Santana staying right with Ted DiBiase.
06:27Look at hooking the tights there.
06:29Absolutely. I think when he incorporated,
06:31they're thinking about the Megamaniacs right now.
06:33They gotta be worried about El Matador and Virgil
06:35right now.
06:37That's the non-title matchup.
06:39However, the title is on the line
06:41at WrestleMania,
06:43and there are many who feel that the Megamaniacs
06:45will be the next tag team champions.
06:47Here comes Virgil.
06:49You know, I got a theory about Virgil, Vince.
06:51What's that?
06:53He and Montel Williams are the same person.
06:55You know, could very well be.
06:57You never see them together, do you?
06:59No, as a matter of fact, I don't believe I have.
07:01And you hear the
07:03ubiquitous chant,
07:05Erwin.
07:11Erwin R. Shyster now locking up with Virgil.
07:13Virgil trying to
07:15get a face reduction.
07:19Hooking the tights. Come on, ref.
07:21And Virgil
07:23putting on the brakes right there.
07:25This matchup, in terms of momentum,
07:27meaning so much to both tag teams.
07:29Absolutely, and I've never seen the tag team situation
07:31any hotter than the World Wrestling Federation
07:33has right now.
07:35A lot of great tag teams.
07:37Off the rope, and no.
07:39Nice reversal by Virgil.
07:41And what a clothesline.
07:43And another one.
07:45Virgil is hot tonight
07:47on Monday Night Raw.
07:49And Erwin takes a powder.
07:53Oh, turn around and there's it.
07:55El Matador hammering
07:57on the outside.
07:59Throwing right back in to the waiting Virgil.
08:01Better watch that back door.
08:03Oh, look at this. Troubled team member behind the official's back.
08:05Double elbow.
08:07Cover that man. Turn around, ref.
08:09One, two. We get him. No.
08:11Virgil and El Matador are working again.
08:13There's a team better than the other team.
08:15And the other team happens to be
08:17the tag team champions.
08:19That's exactly right. Cover here again.
08:21Another near fall.
08:23Matador and Virgil
08:25have teamed up together in the past.
08:27Not successfully.
08:29I think you can write IRS off.
08:33Not necessarily a good deduction.
08:35I see.
08:37IRS and Ted DiBiase.
08:39Money incorporated in their future.
08:41Not only the opponents
08:43presently they are facing,
08:45in their future, the Nasty Boys
08:47who gallantly stepped aside
08:49so that the Mega Maniacs
08:51could have just one shot at WrestleMania.
08:53Probably the most
08:55gentleman-like thing
08:57that the Nasty Boys have ever done.
09:01Question of the tag.
09:03Just ask this capacity
09:05crowd. I love this
09:07capacity crowd. I like them.
09:09It's Monday Night Raw
09:11and it's uncooked. Uncensored.
09:13And uncut.
09:15We did it right for a change.
09:17First time, every time.
09:21Virgil.
09:23And look at Erwin trying to counter.
09:25Quick tag there is made and again
09:27what you're seeing is excellent tag team
09:29coordination with Matador
09:31and Virgil.
09:33Series of forearms
09:35and Matador takes.
09:37That'll snap your elbow right in two.
09:41And reaching to make the tag.
09:43No, sir. Not close enough.
09:49Tightening the grip there.
09:51Matador. Oh, look at that.
09:53DiBiase was tagged, all right.
09:55But Pael Matador.
09:57Look at this.
09:59These guys are cooking.
10:01Yes, they are.
10:05Matador
10:07and Virgil really rolling it.
10:09We'll be back as the match resumes.
10:15We are back in New York City with more
10:17Monday Night Raw and thus far
10:19this show has been all the tag team
10:21of El Matador and Virgil.
10:25Here comes the million dollar man, Ted DiBiase.
10:29And again, come on, ref, just turn around.
10:31Protect your huevos, man.
10:33What was that again?
10:35I heard it, I heard it.
10:39And Matador reaching for the tag.
10:41Yes, it's right there.
10:43Just fingertips away.
10:45And Ted DiBiase
10:47carrying, weight, riding
10:49Santana down.
10:51I'll tell you what, El Matador is a tough one.
10:53He's got guts and he's got a lot of
10:55fight in him.
11:01Shots at midsection, breaks the hold in another one.
11:03Santana firing off.
11:07Down goes El Matador, down goes
11:09Ted DiBiase as well.
11:11This could be the turning point in the match right here.
11:13Whoever recovers the quickest
11:15like they have the momentum on their side.
11:21Erwin reaching for the tag.
11:23Here it is. Here he comes, Santana!
11:25Yes!
11:27Knocked him right into Virgil.
11:29Virgil hammering away
11:31on Erwin R. Shyster.
11:33Backs him to the corner.
11:35Sets him up for the ride.
11:37Into the buckle and down to the canvas.
11:41Virgil and El Matador with the momentum.
11:45And out again.
11:47Wow, what a clothesline.
11:49Right in the chest and look at this, another one.
11:53Virgil trying
11:55to set up Erwin now. Scoops him up
11:57and slams him down to the canvas.
11:59How come Erwin wears a tie
12:01and Ted doesn't even wear a shirt?
12:03Look at this.
12:05Cheap shot by Ted DiBiase
12:07from behind.
12:09From behind Erwin R. Shyster with a suplex.
12:11He got him.
12:13Another one. Two and three.
12:15Money Incorporated
12:17won it dead or alive.
12:23The Mega Maniacs.
12:29Money
12:31Incorporated.
12:33Money Incorporated on their way to Wrestlemania
12:35to lock up with the Mega Maniacs
12:37on their way to Wrestlemania
12:39as well as Tataka.
12:41Take a look at previous
12:43non-title victories Tataka had
12:45over his opponent at Wrestlemania,
12:47Shawn Michaels.
12:49Look at that, he missed it with a kick.
12:51Tataka missed it with a chop.
12:53Up goes Tataka. Tataka behind
12:55and yes.
12:57Hook the leg. One, two.
12:59Yes.
13:01There's a three right there.
13:05And yes, that's it.
13:07He's got him again.
13:09One, two, three.
13:11Did he get him? Yes, he got him.
13:13No, he didn't. The referee didn't count the third count.
13:15That would have been two in a row right there.
13:19Aren't there too many guys in the ring now?
13:21Yeah, you might say that.
13:23Almost landing in your lap, Bartlett.
13:31Tataka.
13:33Back in the ring.
13:35Are you kidding?
13:37Look at this.
13:39Tataka.
13:41What a maneuver.
13:43He did it.
13:45He did it.
13:49There is no doubt that Shawn Michaels
13:51is very much looking forward to
13:53Wrestlemania when the title will
13:55be on the line.
13:57And we'll be back.
13:59Wait a minute.
14:01What is this?
14:03The model Rick Martel who's scheduled later on
14:05to lock up with Mr. Perfect.
14:07The model coming out the ringside
14:09with one of our
14:11Raw girls.
14:13What is this?
14:15He wasn't one of the guys on Gilligan's Island,
14:17was he?
14:19Maybe a wannabe.
14:21I think maybe...
14:23Wait a minute. Look at this.
14:25I'd like to avert that conversation.
14:27What's going on?
14:29The model is asking the model to leave the ring, I believe.
14:31And to watch him.
14:33Look, this is the way
14:35it's supposed to be done, I suppose.
14:37We'll be back.
14:39Up next, ladies and gentlemen,
14:41will be the Native American, Tataka.
14:43Yes. Nobody can model
14:45better than the model.
14:55Hi, I'm Todd Pettengill.

15:33Tataka!
15:43This guy's out of the ring
15:45and the match hasn't even started yet.
15:51Look out, Shawn Michaels.
15:53Apollo ready to lock up
15:55with Tataka.
15:57And Tataka, knowing full well
15:59he's approximately a month away
16:01from WrestleMania
16:03when he can become
16:05the Intercontinental Champion.
16:09Apollo coming right back at Tataka.
16:11Leapfrog by Tataka and another one.
16:13Apollo coming off the ropes again
16:15and a nice hip lock. No, reversal.
16:17Look at this block and it's Apollo
16:19over the top rope.
16:21Very impressive.
16:23How many proud Native Americans would there be
16:25if he wins the Intercontinental title?
16:27All of them.
16:29Yeah, I'll say.
16:31Apollo may not know where he is.
16:33Oh, what a chop!
16:35My goodness! Another one!
16:39Tataka is all over Apollo
16:41much like I'm sure he's gonna be all over
16:43Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania.
16:45He's hungry.
16:47We what?
16:49We what?
16:51I believe we have
16:53Mr. Michaels on the line there.
16:55Mr. Michaels, Shawn, can you hear us?
16:57Yeah, I can hear you.
16:59Are you watching what's going on in the ring right now?
17:01Yeah, I see what's going on.
17:03I see what's going on.
17:05Well, what's gonna go on at WrestleMania?
17:07I got news for you. Don't you people see what's happening?
17:09Tataka is suffering from the fever.
17:11He's got the fever.
17:13See, he's walked up to the table.
17:15He's rolled the dice and he got lucky.
17:17He walked up to the table again.
17:19He let those dice go
17:21and he got lucky twice.
17:23But the big time is coming.
17:25April 4th in Las Vegas, Nevada
17:27at Caesar's Palace.

19:09Earlier on in the six-man matchup
19:11when Tatanka allegedly, according to
19:13Michaels, got lucky.
19:15And, of course, we saw the non-title matchup
19:17one-on-one when clearly it was a great match
19:19but Tatanka was the victor.

21:01Right now, let's hear from
21:03champion and challenger.
21:05You know, when you're the World Wrestling
21:07Federation Champion, it's your job
21:09to study your opponents. And that's
21:11what I've done. I've studied
21:13Yokozuna and I've watched him
21:15come into the World Wrestling Federation
21:17and wipe out every single guy he
21:19stepped in the ring with. He's wiped them all
21:21out. He's squashed them all.
21:23He's undefeated.
21:25And you know something? The World Wrestling
21:27Federation Champion, the Hit Man,
21:29respects that. But when you turn it around
21:31the other way, Yokozuna
21:33and Mr. Fuji, they have no
21:35respect for me. They don't
21:37respect where I've come from. They don't respect
21:39my wrestling ability. They don't
21:41respect the fact that I am
21:43the excellence of execution and I
21:45am the World Wrestling Federation Champion.
21:47But mark my words, I
21:49kinda like the fact, Mr. Fuji,
21:51that I'm going into WrestleMania 9 as
21:53the underdog. But remember one thing,
21:55you will walk out of the ring
21:57respecting me and I will walk out of
21:59the ring wearing the World Wrestling Federation
22:01Championship belt.
22:03Bret Hart, you tell the whole
22:05world that you are the underdog.
22:07I said to you,
22:09you're a beaten man already.
22:11You take a good look at my
22:13Yokozuna, 505
22:15pounds. Yes!
22:17And here, what we're gonna do to
22:19your excellence of execution.
22:21Booyah! Become
22:23the new WWF Heavyweight
22:25Champion. Oh, snay!
22:27Banzai!
22:31Banzai!
22:33Oh, what a main event. What a double
22:35main event. And don't forget, Caesar's Palace
22:37Outdoor Stadium will be transformed
22:39into the Colosseum of the
22:41Ancient Roman Empire. The
22:43pageantry will be heralded by trumpets.
22:45The procession, led by
22:47Caesar and Cleopatra.
22:49And when the games begin,
22:51one of the matches you're gonna be seeing,
22:53pits the 8-foot-tall Giant
22:55Gonzalez, managed by Harvey
22:57Whippleman, against the Undertaker,
22:59managed by Paul
23:01Bearer. Oh, Harvey
23:03Whippleman,
23:05Giant Gonzalez,
23:07never before has
23:09anyone ever perpetrated
23:11any act on my Undertaker
23:13like you did.
23:15But now at Wrestlemania,
23:17you'll pay the price!
23:19Giant Gonzalez,
23:21you tried
23:23to make the hunter
23:25the hunted.
23:27Only a few
23:29have tried
23:31this, and they
23:33lay to rest behind me.
23:35This is what your fate
23:37has in store.
23:39That match
23:41and one great line-up make this the
23:43best Wrestlemania ever.
23:45Vince, here's a little tip
23:47for the model, Rick Martel.
23:49He'd better take it easy with the Raw Ring Card
23:51girls. He may be the model,
23:53but I got news for you. He's not the
23:55perfect model. Do you agree?
23:57Well, actually, I guess I do agree,
23:59Gene. Then again, I would also agree
24:01that you might be the perfect model yourself
24:03as a client for the
24:05Hair Club for Men. And, uh,
24:07look who's out here.
24:09Hello there. Oh, wait a minute.
24:11What's he doing back? Not again.
24:13It's the yachtsman, Rick
24:15Martel. Well,
24:17earlier on, Mr. Martel
24:19came out to the ring, and, of course, again, we will see him
24:21later on, square off one-on-one against Mr. Perfect,
24:23but what's he doing, giving lessons to
24:25these models? I'll tell you what he's doing, as far as I'm
24:27concerned, he's ruining the view. He is
24:29indeed.
24:31I don't believe this young lady wants to give up
24:33her sign.
24:37I can hear what he's saying.
24:43Look at this.
24:45Things are looking
24:47up. We'll be back
24:49as we continue
24:51with Papa Shango.
25:03Welcome back to more
25:05Monday Night Raw.
25:09This guy scares me.
25:11That doesn't take too much.
25:13That doesn't take too much.
25:19Well, I mean, when a guy
25:21enters with a smoking skull,
25:23I think that's reason enough to be a little
25:25frightened, Vince.
25:27Yeah, I would suggest so.
25:29Although, look at this guy's back. That's pretty
25:31frightening.
25:33Wait till you see his front.
25:35This little lady up there, but the Bret Hart
25:37sunglasses better pull him down.
25:40You may watch the match
25:42with Bret vision.
25:44Papa Shango.
25:46He is smoking here
25:48tonight on Monday Night Raw.
25:50And it's uncooked.
25:52It's uncensored. And it's uncooked.
25:54No, that's cooked. Look at that. It's cooking right now.
25:56It's cooking. Yeah.
26:01And Mike Edwards
26:03trying his luck.
26:05Uh-oh.
26:07Maybe Papa's got a voodoo spell
26:09to help get rid of that
26:11unsightly hair problem.
26:13Look at this.
26:15Papa Shango's hammering
26:17this guy.
26:19Maybe Papa's a little-
26:21Jealous.
26:23Papa with no hair.
26:25Down with the elbow. Lots of tattoos,
26:27but not much hair.
26:29Papa Shango.
26:31One of a kind, you might say here
26:33in the World Wrestling Federation.
26:36Oh, my goodness.
26:38He could just pull some hair off this guy's back.
26:40Hammering.
26:42Forearm blows by Papa Shango.
26:44Edwards for the ride to the back.
26:46Was he for the ride?
26:48And look out. Here comes Papa.
26:50This guy's a tough guy.
26:52Papa Shango's definitely got his own style.
26:56Papa Shango
26:58all over Mike Edwards.
27:00And yet, the count,
27:02ladies and gentlemen,
27:04the model Rick Martel.
27:06Wait a minute. Here's a cover.
27:08Nope. Not yet. Papa's not finished with him yet.
27:10Yet to come, one-on-one,
27:12the model Rick Martel
27:14against Mr. Perfect.
27:16What a matchup that's gonna be.
27:18Predict a winner if you would, Macho Man.
27:20Well, I wanna see Rick Martel get beat
27:22because of what he's doing to the Raw Girls.
27:24That reason alone.
27:26I see.
27:28And you, Mr. Bartlett?
27:30Well, didn't you tell me Perfect was gonna win?
27:32No, no, no.
27:34Competition at its finest.
27:36And a cover, one, two, and
27:38look at this.
27:40Papa's just talking to him.
27:42I do believe Mr. Perfect will be victorious.
27:44You never can tell.
27:46Anything can happen here
27:48in the World Wrestling Federation,
27:50especially on Monday Night Raw.
27:52We be raw.
27:58Papa
28:00throwing muscles out just a bit.
28:02Make a wish.
28:06Papa, a moment ago, glancing over this way,
28:08sort of looking in your eyes, Bartlett.
28:10Papa's skull isn't reminiscent
28:12of any of your family.
28:14Ooh, look at this.
28:16Kinda reminds me a little of my father, to be honest with you.
28:18Oh, really?
28:20Only the eyes.
28:22Oh, no. Shoulder breaker
28:24that could very well have broken the back
28:26of Mike Edwards. That should do it.
28:29An easy victory for Papa Shango.
28:31This guy is vicious
28:33with a capital V, yeah,
28:35for victory.
28:37Here is your winner,
28:39Papa Shango.
28:41Papa Shango,
28:43victorious.
28:45Top hat and all.
28:49Promotional consideration
28:51paid for by the following.
28:53To be the World Wrestling Federation champion,
28:55you gotta want it every day.
28:58And that is what ICO Pro
29:00is all about.
29:17The action continues here on Monday Night Raw,
29:19and here he comes.
29:21It's Opie Taylor.
29:23It's not Opie Taylor.
29:27It's Bob Backlund.
29:29It's Bob Backlund,
29:31former World Wrestling Federation title holder.
29:35And Buffalo Bob.
29:39Mr. DeMauro, good-looking young man,
29:41really put together.
29:43This should be very interesting here.
29:45Bob Backlund on a tear as of late
29:47here in the WWF
29:49on the comeback trail
29:51at 43 years old.
29:53Amazing comeback thus far.
29:57Truly one of the great competitors.
29:59I beg your pardon, Macho Man.
30:01That's all right.
30:03Everybody interrupts me.
30:05I've been misunderstood all my life,
30:07but all great men have been misunderstood,
30:09so that's cool.
30:11Yeah, I guess so.
30:13What would you have to say about that, Mr. Barlett?
30:15I'd have to agree.
30:17Randy's bigger than I am.
30:19All right, I like it like that.
30:21He is that.
30:23He is the real deal.
30:25Bob Backlund is.
30:27As Michael Jackson says, he's a gentleman, too.
30:31And I guess
30:33there will be no handshake here.
30:35Oh, shake his hand, you pant load.
30:37DeMauro
30:39reluctant to lock up
30:41with Bob Backlund.
30:43Bob Backlund's looking
30:45like the possibility of going to WrestleMania IX,
30:47so he's gonna be going for a quick
30:49and decisive victory, I think so.
30:51Yes, sir.
30:53And DeMauro,
30:55big, strong, young, strapping,
30:57and a hip toss by Bob Backlund.
30:59Wow. If Bob Backlund makes it
31:01to WrestleMania, by the way, it would be,
31:03believe it or not, his first
31:05WrestleMania, because when he was
31:07World Wrestling Federation champion,
31:09that was actually before
31:11there were any WrestleManias.
31:13This is his personal dream, to wrestle
31:15at WrestleMania, and it's gonna be the
31:17biggest and the best one he's ever.
31:19Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas,
31:21Nevada, the setting.
31:23Backlund wrapping up
31:25DeMauro.
31:27And again, over the hip,
31:29nicely done.
31:33Bob Backlund, oh yeah,
31:35nice maneuver.
31:37Say, Rob, how about taking
31:39an assignment? Sure.
31:41How would you like to have
31:43the honors of interviewing the model
31:45Rick Martel?
31:47Really, Mr. McMahon?
31:49This can make you, man.
31:51This could put Rob Bartlett
31:53on the map. My own interview?
31:55Yep, go for it. What do you say?
31:57I'm gone, brother.
31:59Bartlett's out of here, on his way back
32:01to the dressing room.
32:03I don't think he can do it, Vince. I think that you
32:05gave him too much to handle. Well, I don't know.
32:07First of all, I don't think he knows
32:09the way. Well, we've got someone
32:11escorting him back. He'll find a way.
32:13That's half the battle.
32:15Speaking of battles, a little bit later on,
32:17tonight, right after Monday Night Raw,
32:19you don't miss the battle while they say all is fair
32:21in love and war. Tonight, after
32:23returning from the dead,
32:25ex-Hitman Steven Matrix
32:27looks at love in a whole different light.
32:29Nick Mancuso, stars in
32:31USA's all-new series,
32:33Matrix, coming up next,
32:35right after tonight's Monday Night Raw.
32:37Oh!
32:41That's something you'll very seldom
32:43see Bob Backlund do, and that
32:45is turn on his back
32:47at any time. There he took a
32:49chance, and the chance
32:51paid off.
32:55Put some time in the NCAA.
32:57Never happened then. Don't let it
32:59start happening now. Backlund,
33:01former NCAA title holder
33:03in the amateur ranks before turning
33:05pro. Graduate
33:07of North Dakota State University.
33:11And again,
33:13Backlund from behind, and tomorrow, backs up
33:15to the, ooh, look at that elbow!
33:17Right in the cranium.
33:19Won't find that happening in
33:21the NCAA.
33:23Through the buckle, Bob Backlund moving
33:25in. Double underhook,
33:27and what's gonna happen to tomorrow?
33:29I think he's gonna go for
33:31the ride!
33:33And yes!
33:35Nicely
33:37executed! And Backlund
33:39now, with tomorrow,
33:41rides him a little bit, shoots the half,
33:43turns him over, and one, two,
33:45he gets it! That was a very
33:47cute pinning combination, yes sir!
33:49Bob Backlund!
33:51Here is your winner, Bob
33:53Backlund! Bob Backlund's comeback
33:55continues in a successful
33:57vein, and who knows, we just
33:59might see Bob Backlund
34:01at WrestleMania!
34:03One thing we certainly have seen as of late
34:05is you, as well as all the superstars
34:07in the WWF, assisting
34:09the American Red Cross for the benefit
34:11of those far less fortunate
34:13than us over in Somalia.
34:15Vince, I'm here backstage with the
34:17model, Rick Martell. You've seen him
34:19twice earlier tonight, stealing the cards
34:21away from the Raw girls. Rick Martell,
34:23what is your deal, man?
34:25At first, take a look at yourself,
34:27Rob Bartlett. Look at the
34:29way you dress.
34:31You have no class. You look so blah.
34:33You're just like those card girls. That's why
34:35I took them out of the ring.
34:37I wanted to show them what modeling is all
34:39about, because I am the best.
34:41I have class. And those girls are
34:43just like all these people here Monday night
34:45Raw program. They have no class.
34:47This building has no class. I can't
34:49believe the model is standing all in the middle of this
34:51filth. So basically you're
34:53saying there's no class. What's gonna happen
34:55later on in the ring with Mr. Perfect?
34:57Mr. Perfect. You know, I always say
34:59perfection is so boring.
35:01Well, Mr. Perfect,
35:03I'm gonna show you what excitement
35:05is all about. Yes, the
35:07model is only the best
35:09model in the world, but I also
35:11the best wrestler. And you're gonna find
35:13out why the model
35:15I have class.
35:17We'll be back with that matchup after this.
35:19Nice hat.
35:28We are
35:30back on Monday Night Raw.
35:32And look who's headed to town.
35:34It's Mr. Howell. Yeah.
35:36Well, it's about time this man gets
35:38into the ring. Love it.
35:40Yeah, to wrestle. Exactly.
35:42Wrestle with my Raw girls, and I'm jealous.
35:44The model, Rick
35:46Martel.
35:48The model,
35:50Rick Martel, ready to lock up
35:52one on one with
35:54Mr. Perfect. This should
35:56be a highly competitive matchup.
35:58Absolutely. You've got two of the big
36:00guns going against each other.
36:02And it's a shootout type
36:04situation right here on Monday Night Raw.
36:06And Rob
36:08Barlett, you've been to Gilligan's
36:10Isle, haven't you?
36:12Yeah, I'm one of those
36:14people that talk about, and the rest.
36:16I see.
36:18Hey, God
36:20like this.
36:23You know what I mean?
36:25It's like Gilligan, the skipper,
36:27the millionaire, and his wife,
36:29the movie star.
36:31I think we got it. Thank you.
36:33And the rest. I think we've got it.
36:35Mr. Perfect.
36:37What an
36:39ovation, standing ovation
36:41for Mr. Perfect
36:43on his way
36:45to WrestleMania.
36:47We're off against a narcissist,
36:49Lex Luger, I believe that
36:51to be one of the great matches
36:53perhaps of all time
36:55at WrestleMania. Absolutely.
36:57And my money is on, guess
36:59who, Rob Bartlett? I don't know.
37:01Who is your money on? The Perfect.
37:03Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
37:05Surprising no one. He's my tag team
37:07partner from the Survivor Series.
37:09He went to bat for me, and now
37:11I'm backing him all the way.
37:13Perfectimento. Well, I think that
37:15a lot of individuals-
37:17Bilingual. Or something like that.
37:19Something like that. Trilingual.
37:21Nicely done. The model Rick Martel
37:23coming from the far side now. Hip toss. Nicely done
37:25by Mr. Perfect. Kick out by Martel.
37:27Perfect. Oh, look at this. And he has Martel
37:29up and down. Kick out by Martel.
37:31Look at this.
37:33The action going hot and heavy
37:35here, and whoa.
37:37Time to take a little breather here.
37:39If that don't knock your gerbil loose.
37:41Something special's happening
37:43right here in the squared circle right now.
37:45On Monday Night Raw. Uncut.
37:47Uncensored.
37:49Uncut. Uncensored.
37:51And uncut. Uncomfortable.
37:53Yes.
37:55Unbelievable we're still rapping.
37:57Yes.
37:59And the model Rick Martel
38:01who is all business when the bell rings.
38:03Look at this.
38:05A series of blocks there by Mr. Perfect.
38:07Smart move on the model's part.
38:09Did you see Mr. Perfect play basketball?
38:11Absolutely. Football too. And what about baseball?
38:13George Steinbrenner loves and wants to
38:15bring him in. Wants to draft him.
38:17Wade Boggs was impressed.
38:19Everyone's impressed
38:21with the athleticism of
38:23Mr. Perfect to take nothing away from the man
38:25who claims to be beyond
38:27perfection, the narcissist Lex Luger.
38:29I'll take something away from him.
38:31I think that when the chips are down
38:33Mr. Perfect's gonna do his thing.
38:35And the model's in shape and he just wants to show
38:37Mr. Perfect that before Mr. Perfect
38:39does the thing on him in the ring.
38:41Well.
38:43Drop and give us 20, mister.
38:45Okay.
38:47In any event, quick go behind there. Nice reversal.
38:49Keep with the ankle.
38:51And the kick out to the ropes.
38:53Mr. Perfect. Okay.
38:55Free exercise there from the Olympics.
38:57He told me that personally
38:59that he'd like to do it for the USA.
39:01I see.
39:03What's the next event? Baton twirling?
39:07I think everybody likes the raw girls.
39:09Mr. Perfect could probably twirl a baton
39:11perfectly.
39:13I wouldn't bet against it.
39:17The narcissist Lex Luger.
39:21To meet Mr. Perfect.
39:23The narcissist Lex Luger
39:25yet to really be tested
39:27in terms of the caliber
39:29of the likes of Mr. Perfect.
39:31There are many who state that
39:33the narcissist Lex Luger, however,
39:35will be victorious.
39:37I'll tell you one thing that's been happening.
39:39Every time he hits that, you know,
39:41forearm makes connection.
39:43People get knocked out cold.
39:45I don't like it.
39:47I don't like it.
39:49Without exception, that has happened to every opponent
39:51the narcissist Lex Luger has faced.
39:53Will it happen to Mr. Perfect?
39:55Oh, my goodness!
39:57There's a solid knee to the face.
39:59Perfect running right into that knee
40:01by the model Rick Martel,
40:03who himself is a great competitor.
40:05This figured to be a
40:07highly contested matchup here on
40:09Monday Night Raw.
40:11And a very nice takedown on the part
40:13of the model Rick Martel.
40:15Yeah, but he did it perfectly.
40:17I beg your pardon? Perfect did that perfectly.
40:19He fell perfectly.
40:21Yeah, well, that's not saying too much,
40:23but, you know, there's a big
40:25movement to bring Elvis back.
40:27Did you know that, Rob Bartlett?
40:29Yeah, there's a big move to bring Heenan back, too,
40:31Randy.
40:33Elvis was, uh,
40:35a little funny, wasn't he? He was very funny.
40:37He was a riot. Yeah, he was a riot.
40:39Yeah, I enjoyed it.
40:41Wait a minute.
40:43You're funny, too,
40:45Bartlett, not just like ha-ha funny,
40:47though, dig it? You know, sorry, brother, but, uh,
40:49it's cool.
40:53And the model
40:55Rick Martel, having things
40:57reversed on him there, reaching back, and...
40:59Nice maneuver on the
41:01part of the model Rick Martel.
41:03Joe, look at that! A very
41:05clever maneuver on the part of Mr. Perfect.
41:07Wait a second, man. I'm being
41:09possessed. Oh, no.
41:11That was last week. The spirit of Elvis
41:13has taken my body, Vince. Yeah, well,
41:15we're gonna take you somewhere,
41:17all right? Look at my leg. We're gonna take you to this
41:19commercial. My leg's moving. And the match will resume.
41:23The matchup is
41:25resuming, and so are we here on
41:27Monday Night Raw. Vince McMahon, along with the macho
41:29man Randy Savage and Ramblin' Rob
41:31Bartlett. Ramblin'.
41:33Yeah.
41:37Model knows if he wins this match, this
41:39would be unbelievable momentum for him,
41:41because Mr. Perfect has been on a roll.
41:43Indeed he has.
41:45And a gut-rich
41:47suplex down to the canvas.
41:49A cover here, the hook of the leg,
41:51two, and no! A kickout by Mr. Perfect.
41:53Oh, barely.
41:55And down
41:57into the back again.
41:59Firing off
42:01with a right hand in the chest area.
42:03Uppercut by the model
42:05Rick Martel. Seesaw matchup back and forth
42:07here now.
42:11That forearm having a little something
42:13behind it, not as much as you might suspect.
42:15However,
42:17this could very well
42:19be the end of Mr. Perfect.
42:21He's pulling on the hair, that ain't right.
42:23Can't do that.
42:25And Mr. Perfect
42:27hanging in there.
42:29Does fall.
42:31Your impressions, Rob Bartlett.
42:33He's riding like a horsey.
42:35Okay.
42:37That's the last time you'll ask him for impressions.
42:39You want to hear my
42:41catchphrase? You do.
42:43By James Cagney?
42:45Let's vote on it.
42:47Let's vote on it.
42:51Mr. Perfect now
42:53hammering into midsection, off the rope.
42:55Oh, my goodness! What a
42:57maneuver by Martel. That'll take it
42:59right out of him, if you had it in the beginning.
43:01That's exactly right. We'll find
43:03out if it's there or not there now. Yeah,
43:05running on empty, maybe not.
43:07And what's he going to do with him?
43:09Down with the knee and down to the canvas, and uh-oh.
43:11To the outside, now
43:13to the apron. Smelling a victory.
43:15Here's the model.
43:17Look at this maneuver!
43:19Oh, oh.
43:21Very clever defensive maneuver
43:23on the part of Mr. Perfect,
43:25the thinking men's wrestler.
43:27You might see the model in the
43:29Victoria's Secret catalog now.
43:31And a left hand
43:33firing off, caught Perfect in the motion.
43:35Right to the buckle.
43:37What a matchup with these two.
43:39Off the rope,
43:41down to the midsection.
43:43Perfect Martel.
43:47And...
43:49Oh! Perfect catching him
43:51in the breadbasket. Perfect
43:53from behind. Up goes the model.
43:55Atomic drop and onto the buckle.
43:57Out and right in the kisser of Mr. Perfect.
43:59Oh, my!
44:01Perfect, look,
44:03momentum. Strap comes
44:05down. We just may see
44:07the Perfect Plex after all.
44:09Mr. Perfect hammering on
44:11the model. Oh, what a chop!
44:13Martel
44:15for the ride to the buckle.
44:17And out, up and over.
44:19Before this match is over,
44:21let's take this commercial break.
44:27Mr. Perfect
44:29once again victorious.
44:31The action took place during
44:33the commercial break. Let's take you back
44:35now. Mr. Perfect asking
44:37for the Perfect Plex.
44:39Oh, yeah. Did we want to see it?
44:41You bet. Were we going to? We weren't
44:43too sure of the reversal there.
44:45Off the rope. The break put on by
44:47Perfect and then Perfect
44:49cinching up the model.
44:51And there's the Perfect Plex.
44:53Another tremendous victory
44:55for Mr. Perfect.
44:57All kinds of momentum
44:59going into WrestleMania
45:01to lock up with the man who's beyond
45:03perfection, the Narcissist
45:05Lex Luger.
45:09Promotional consideration paid for
45:11by the following.
45:15Gotta have beef. Gotta have spice.
45:17Need a little excitement.
45:19Snap into a Slim Jim. Oh, yeah.
45:23Step into the ring with the hottest
45:25WWF superstars like Hulk Hogan
45:27and bet the Hitman heart.
45:29Body slamming WrestleMania action is now
45:31on all video game systems.
45:33Hey, wait a minute.
45:35Take a look at this.
45:37These are the two ladies
45:39that make the model Martel.
45:41It was intimidating earlier on.
45:43Not only does Mr. Perfect
45:45kick the victory, but
45:47looks like he has
45:49a company of two fine-looking
45:51young ladies. Well, Mr. Perfect,
45:53we were tag-team partners.
45:55You got two and maybe possibly
45:57the man, Mr. Bostrom,
45:59and you too.
46:01Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you,
46:03Macho Man, but I think Rob
46:05Bartlett has his eyes on
46:07one of those ladies.
46:09No, we got a brand-new singing group
46:11here, Vince. What's that?
46:13Mr. Perfect and Dawn.
46:15Well, wait till it dawns on you
46:17who we have here for next week's
46:19Monday Night Raw. Scheduled to join us
46:21the Ugandan giant, the mighty
46:23Kamala. Also on hand,
46:25Razor Ramon,
46:27who's oozing with machismo
46:29and then one-on-one
46:31the battle of the big boys,
46:33Typhoon versus Bam Bam.
