00:00Welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw, Vince McMahon here along with
00:05the Macho Man Randy Savage and Bobby the Brain Heenan.
00:08And the ceremony has begun.
00:11And take a look who's headed to the ring.
00:13The reigning World Wrestling Federation Champions,
00:17550 pound plus of Yokozuna.
00:20And Macho Man Yokozuna was embarrassed on July 4th,
00:24America's birthday by Lex Luger.
00:27Absolutely, it was the body slam heard around the world.
00:30You're wrong, Savage, that was a cheap shot heard around the world.
00:34Luger came from out of nowhere, cheap shot at Yokozuna with that 100 pounds of
00:38iron and steel he's got in his arm, that was the hip lock heard around the world.
00:42Please, Luger subsequently denied the title shot at Yokozuna.
00:46Nonetheless, the title's on the line.
00:48Look at that.
00:49Against what was the explanation for that?
00:51You're looking at a nasty, angry, mean Yokozuna.
00:56Welcome once again, ladies and gentlemen, to Monday Night Raw,
01:00Bobby the Brain Heenan, Vince McMahon, and the Macho Man Randy Savage.
01:05Once again, and yes, we're gonna start things off with the World Heavyweight
01:09Heavyweight Champion, Randy Savage.
01:12Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the ring,
01:15the new World Heavyweight Champion, Randy Savage.
01:19Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the ring the new World Heavyweight Champion,
01:24Randy Savage.
01:25Once again, and yes, we're gonna start things off with the World Wrestling
01:29Federation Championship matchup, can Crush do the job?
01:32I say he can, I say he can take the WWF title right here on Monday Night Raw.
01:35Let me tell you something, Pineapple Breath, you're used to volcanoes erupting.
01:40You've got a 568 pound Yokozuna WWF Champion to contend with.
01:45You think you've seen the lava spew?
01:47No, you haven't, pal.
01:49Just wait till you get in that ring.
01:51We're ready for Crush.
01:52We're ready for action on Monday Night Raw.
01:55Yeah.
01:57His opponent- What a matchup this is going to be.
02:00If anyone can defeat Yokozuna for the championship, it has to be this man.
02:06Unquestionably one of the more powerful men in the WWF.
02:10Absolutely, and how can you think Yokozuna's ripe for
02:13the picking because he's no longer cool, calm, and collective?
02:17Let me ask you something, Savage.
02:19Being two-time WWF Champion, on the Intrepid, Crush went to slam Yokozuna,
02:24and he got one leg off the mat.
02:27He almost had him up there in the air.
02:28Does that work on Yokozuna's mind?
02:31How does he handle that memory?
02:32I think that he's shattered and
02:34frazzled ever since Lex Luger showed him that a body slam was possible.
02:39Now Crush can be the WWF Champion.
02:42All right, Crush ready himself to lock up with the over 550 pound Yokozuna.
02:48Will Mr. Fuji be a factor in the matchup?
02:51Of course not, he's a manager.
02:53He will just stand at ringside like he always does, mind his own business, and
02:57present Yokozuna with the title belt when the match is over.
03:00Really?
03:01Crush very patiently, Macho Man.
03:03You would think Crush would be pacing back and forth, isn't it?
03:06But he's very patiently awaiting Yokozuna to step to the middle of the ring.
03:09He's an established all-star superstar,
03:12just like the all-star baseball game's gonna be tomorrow night.
03:15You're looking at a couple all-stars right now going head to head for
03:18the belt.
03:18What a matchup, the World Wrestling Federation title is on the line.
03:23We've seen championships change right here on Monday Night Raw in the past.
03:27Will it happen again tonight?
03:30Well, the way things are going in the World Wrestling Federation,
03:33it could happen in the next five minutes.
03:34Who knows anymore?
03:36This is Raw, this is Monday Night.
03:38And this place is jam-packed with good old US of A,
03:43red-blooded Americans waiting for this matchup to begin.
03:47Everyone here with a red, white, and a blue, in support of Lex Luger,
03:51in support of their country.
03:53And I would suggest, in support of the man from the 50th state, Rush.
03:59Hawaii's the 50th state?
04:00I thought it was a suburb of Guam.
04:02USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA.
04:05Listen to this.
04:06This has to bother Yokozuna, as it did on the deck of the Intrepid,
04:11when Lex Luger came off that chartered helicopter.
04:13Here we go.
04:15And locking up there, two big bulls.
04:17And yes, as you might suspect, Yokozuna, the one with the weight, and
04:21perhaps the strength advantage.
04:23Mr. Fuji pounding the mat.
04:27And once again, these two bulls locking up.
04:29And this time, Crush gets the shot.
04:31Crush uncrushed Lee, one of the stronger athletes in the W.
04:35Blocked by right hand, and right hand finds his mark.
04:36And another one.
04:37Crush hammering away on Yokozuna.
04:39Yokozuna rocked.
04:40Crush, now, from the far side, it's a ropes in.
04:43Whoa.
04:44What a maneuver by Yokozuna.
04:46That's a body slam.
04:47Wait a minute.
04:48That's a body slam.
04:49And whoa.
04:51The elbow missing the mark.
04:53Crush right back on top of him.
04:55With momentum.
04:56Drop, no.
04:57And that big foot, and look at this.
04:59Right out in front of us.
05:00Yokozuna's out of the ring.
05:02Psychologically, a big boost on the part of Crush.
05:05Absolutely, and gravity took its toll.
05:10Mr. Fuji shouting at Yokozuna.
05:15And Yokozuna hurt himself by going to the outside.
05:19No, he's taking his time.
05:20He's pacing himself.
05:22See, Crush, I don't care how much you talk about him being powerful and strong.
05:27That's not gonna beat Yokozuna.
05:28You've gotta use your brains in that ring.
05:30Am I right, Savage?
05:32Get the assist of Lex Luger here, because I've never seen so
05:35much emotion showed by Yokozuna.
05:38Yes, Yokozuna, I believe it's rattled.
05:40He was slammed on America's birthday, and
05:42he just got knocked to the outside of the squared circle.
05:45That has to be embarrassing as well.
05:47A look of intensity on the face of Mr. Fuji as well.
05:49Well, you have to understand something about the Japanese people.
05:52They're a very proud race of people.
05:54And to be- The shoulder block in.
05:56Well, as you might suspect, Yokozuna goes nowhere.
05:58Crush will try it again.
06:00Yes, still, Big Yoko goes nowhere.
06:03And running right into a clothesline, right on the bridge of the nose.
06:08Yokozuna moving in now before Crush fires off another right hand.
06:11I can guarantee you one thing, Yokozuna will not lose face on Monday Night Raw.
06:15No, he may not, but he may lose the WWF title.
06:18Look at this, what a maneuver by Crush, moving in, yes, on top of him.
06:22Crush with the momentum.
06:24I'm not only impressed with size and strength here, but
06:27I'm also impressed by quickness by these two guys.
06:29Here we go again, and Crush moving right, look at that.
06:32And again, you must be impressed there, Macho, by the movement of Yokozuna.
06:36Double chop, down goes Crush.
06:39A lot of agility possessed on this huge, monstrous,
06:43bulbous 550 pound WWF champion, managed by Mr. Fuji.
06:49You know, you look at Yokozuna, and before you'd see his face,
06:52you would see a person intense, a person thinking.
06:55But now you see anger in the face.
06:57You see Lex Luger written all over his face.
07:00Yokozuna in control of Crush at the moment.
07:04Look at the girth on this man.
07:05Why don't he just drop all that weight on the back of his neck,
07:08break his neck, and get it over with?
07:10And Crush goes up, look at this.
07:14Yokozuna bouncing him off the top rope,
07:16right underneath the chin area on the throat.
07:20A bit of an obsequious bow on the part of Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna.
07:24Chop to the throat area, to the outside goes Crush.
07:28And now the tide has really turned.
07:30And yes, I agree with you, Bobby Hitta.
07:32We're looking at a far more angry,
07:34far more aggressive Yokozuna than we have seen in the past.
07:39And Fuji's mad.
07:40And when Fuji gets mad, he's gonna transfer that hatred right to Yokozuna.
07:45And he's gonna take it out on Crush and everybody else in the WWF.
07:49Crush, hauled back in now.
07:51Yokozuna, sets him up and chops him down like a big giant oak tree.
07:56And again, Fuji extolling Yokozuna to move back in.
08:00That's exactly what's going on.
08:02Kicks to the ribs here.
08:04Yokozuna pretty much manhandling Crush.
08:06What does Crush have to do now, Macho Man?
08:08He's gotta survive.
08:09He's gotta do anything he has to do to survive right now,
08:12cuz Yokozuna's more vicious than ever.
08:14Yokozuna setting up Crush.
08:16He could be ready to drop that 550-pound carcass down on his stamp there.
08:21Now working on the trapezius area.
08:23Yokozuna, perhaps, attempting to punish Crush.
08:27I believe that's what he wants to do.
08:28We'll be back as the matchup continues.
08:33Yokozuna with a, yes, but missing with a roundhouse right.
08:35Wait, what a maneuver by Crush.
08:37The foot, firmly planted now.
08:39Yokozuna setting up Crush, down he goes.
08:42We're back with more Monday Night Raw.
08:44The World Wrestling Federation Championship is on the line.
08:47What an opportunity for an extraordinary competitor like Crush.
08:51Absolutely, and it's not over till it's over.
08:53And with the blink of an eye, this title could change hands right here on Raw.
08:57Crush, an extraordinary competitor, however, you will recall.
09:00This past weekend on WWF Superstars, it was Crush squaring off against Doink.
09:05And there were a number of Doinks that did a number on Crush.
09:09Speaking about numbers, there were 18 Doings.
09:12There were 16 on the video wall, one in the ring, one under the ring,
09:1614 in the balcony, 16 under the ring, and four in a van parked outside,
09:20in case he made it out of the building.
09:22Who knows how many Doings there were.
09:23One completely Doinked out.
09:26Crush, however, nonetheless victorious in that matchup.
09:29I believe a victorious via a count out.
09:32Nonetheless, here in this matchup, you cannot win the title via count out.
09:36You cannot win the title via disqualification.
09:39There must be a pin or the Samara submission.
09:42Listen to these fans, and this is definitely having an effect on Crush.
09:46It's electric.
09:48Come on, Crush.
09:50I have one word for Crush.
09:52I suggest you surrender.
09:55Give up.
09:56Quit.
09:56I don't think there's any quit.
09:58In this 300 plus pound Crush, Yokozuna pretty much having his way here.
10:03Thus far though, with the original Hawaiian Punch, another chop by Yokozuna.
10:08Sometimes you can be too dumb to quit.
10:11And again, down goes Crush.
10:12I'd be dropping my weight on him right now.
10:15I'd be standing on him, I'd be sitting on him, I'd be rolling on him.
10:18I would destroy Crush if I was Yokozuna.
10:21Perhaps you would, but then again, is that not what Yokozuna is doing here?
10:24It seems to me that methodically, he's taking bit by bit out of Crush.
10:29I believe Yokozuna should have gone for a cover earlier on, and
10:33that strategy could very well backfire on the Big Hawaiian.
10:36To the buckle goes Crush.
10:37Look out.
10:38We've seen this before.
10:39Here it comes.
10:41550 pounds plus on the move.
10:43Lay it in.
10:44Wow, he misses.
10:45Still on his feet though.
10:49Yokozuna will not go down.
10:52Crush hammering away.
10:53See, once you get Yokozuna in trouble, you've got to capitalize.
10:56You've got to take advantage.
10:57And he drops it and knocks him down.
10:58No, he won't go down.
11:00Crush off the rope now and a clothesline down he goes.
11:03All right, an opportunity of a lifetime for the big man from Kota to go to it.
11:07Well, who has the momentum?
11:10Once you get him down, you better keep him down.
11:12The sky's the limit.
11:14And up to the sky goes Crush.
11:16Perched on the top rope, waiting for Yokozuna.
11:20Split second timing here and yes, down he goes again.
11:24We have a new champion, one, two, three, he got you, he got you.
11:28He got you.
11:29Wait a minute.
11:30Referee just said two, unbelievable, you can't get any closer to that.
11:36Stay on him.
11:38Crush hammering away, and perhaps we can sense here victory for Crush.
11:43What a great WWF champion Crush would be.
11:46Crush realizing it takes a high risk maneuver to defeat Yokozuna.
11:50He's back up, wait a minute, look at that.
11:52Did you see that?
11:53He lost his footing and slipped.
11:55No, that was a cheap shot by Fuji on the outside bottom line.
11:59Fuji just jammed Crush in the ribs with that Japanese flagpole.
12:03And look at this, Yokozuna's coming outside.
12:06No, it's the beginning of the end for Mr. Pineapple.
12:08Yokozuna now with Crush.
12:11And Crush scooped up and slammed to the outside.
12:14I don't see no way, Larry, get him in the ring or we'll take him down.
12:18The referee telling Yokozuna to bring it back into the ring.
12:22Meanwhile, the damage has been done.
12:24You have to wonder, Bobby Heenan, Lex Luger unquestionably watching this matchup
12:28from home, what's going on in his mind right now?
12:30Well, he's probably the happiest man walking the face of the earth.
12:33What? Because if he had the title match,
12:36he'd be laid out, he'd be on his back, he'd be taking a beating from Yokozuna.
12:40Lex, if you're watching, which I know you are, you're a lucky man, pal.
12:44Yokozuna, Yokozuna, back in the ring now with Crush.
12:49He hooks him up, belly to belly coming at you, boom, with authority.
12:54That's not your normal average belly to belly either.
12:57You know, you're right, McMahon, he is taking his time.
12:59He's working on the neck, he's working on the shoulders.
13:02The Revenge, forget it, forget about it, unbelievable.
13:10I've seen car wrecks not this bad.
13:13Again, Yokozuna sickling over to Mr. Fuji.
13:17Yokozuna unquestionably with things pretty much well at hand.
13:21I would call that incomplete control.
13:25Yokozuna, what's he gonna do now?
13:28He's gonna put him where he wants him and finish him off.
13:31Yes, dragging 300 pound Crush, who appears to be unconscious.
13:35When Yokozuna came crashing down on the head of Crush,
13:39it must have knocked him unconscious.
13:41No, no.
13:42I get a real bad feeling about this.
13:45What's that I hear?
13:46What's that I hear ticking?
13:48Is that the- No, no.
13:49Yokozuna now in position and no.
13:52That freak out.
13:57I don't hear it ticking anymore.
13:59You hear it ticking?
14:00The winner of this bout, and still- That's unbelievable.
14:04I must say, a very, very impressive victory on the part of Yokozuna.
14:09He defeated one of the superstars in the WWF.
14:13Give Fuji the assist.
14:15Yeah, no question about that.
14:16I don't hear it ticking though.
14:18What ticking?
14:18What are you talking about?
14:19The heartbeat of America, which is laid out in the middle of the ring.
14:23Wait a minute, come on, get him down, this match is over.
14:25No.
14:28Lex Luger, I hope you're happy, because that could be you laid out.
14:32But Luger, you're gonna have to take responsibility for this.
14:36What?
14:37The new Yokozuna is Lex Luger's fault.
14:40He's the one that caused it.
14:41You're gonna have to look every WWF superstar right in the eye and
14:45say, I'm responsible for what Yokozuna is gonna do to every superstar here.
14:50No, and again, for the third time, down into the chest.
14:54Come on, this is ridiculous.
14:55This is great.
14:56Lex Luger responsible, that's absurd.
14:58Wait a minute, here comes Kataka.
15:00Kataka's set for action later on.
15:02What a chop there by Yokozuna.
15:05Kataka, coming in to help out.
15:09He's not done with Crush yet.
15:10He's gonna go up again.
15:11No, no, he's not, come on.
15:13Go ahead, go ahead.
15:15What is he trying to prove?
15:17What is Yokozuna trying to prove?
15:19We get the message.
15:21Four, number four.
15:24Somebody's gotta do something about this.
15:26This is unbelievable.
15:28Yokozuna, here comes a member of individuals-
15:29Here we go, come on.
15:31Somebody needs to help Crush.
15:33Yokozuna chopping away.
15:35He's cleared the house.
15:36Randy Savage, you've got that look in your eye.
15:38This is your wake up call.
15:40Randy Savage, sit down.
15:41You're not supposed to get involved.
15:43Where's he going now?
15:44He's gonna get his head smashed.
15:46He's gonna get torn apart if he gets in that ring.
15:48And it's all your fault, Luger.
15:50Somebody's gotta do something, but per contract,
15:53Randy Savage is not supposed to get involved.
15:56Well, you know the competitor he is.
15:58He just can't take it.
15:59Wait a minute, look at this.
16:00Yokozuna going up for another one.
16:02Randy Savage pulling Crush away.
16:06Savage into Taka now,
16:07trying to pull the bigger one out of the ring.
16:10I'll tell you, Savage may have saved, Savage may have saved the career, or
16:14what's left of the career, of Crush.
16:17Crush in a bad way after receiving four of those unbelievable,
16:21Savage, Randy Savage with a chair.
16:24If Yokozuna's gonna try it again, Savage is gonna let him have it.
16:28And this is all laid on the doorstep of Lex Luger.
16:34What are you talking about?
16:35He caused all this.
16:36Lex Luger, the proud American, red, white, and blue, mom's apple pie.
16:41I've had it up to here with Lex Luger.
16:44Luger, you started this.
16:45You've created that 550-pound monster.
16:49Now the WWE has to live with him.
16:52How dare you claim that any of this as Lex Luger's fault.
16:56Indeed, Luger slammed Yokozuna on the back of the Intrepid and
17:00challenging him to the title match.
17:01Crush, just last week, coming on the heels of that.
17:04And unfortunately, Crush suffering the result of, as you called it,
17:09a new Yokozuna, we'll be right back.
17:11Shut up.
17:17Got him?
17:19Come on now, come on, help him.
17:20Unfortunately, they're taking Crush back for help.
17:28And he's gonna need a lot of help.
17:30I've never seen any competitor would stand back kind of punish the Bobby Heenan.
17:34That has to make someone like you even revolt.
17:38Well, it could be a lot worse.
17:40It could be me.
17:41But his left leg, I noticed, is not moving.
17:44And Lex Luger, I hope you're watching.
17:47Because when Yokozuna's done with you, both your legs won't move,
17:51your arms won't move, and your whole body won't move.
17:54Cuz you'll be in a body cast.
17:56He just sent a message to the world.
17:58You're blaming Lex Luger for what happened to Crush?
18:01Yes, yes, because this is a new Yokozuna.
18:04He threw away the flowers.
18:05He didn't talk to anybody.
18:07He was pacing like a bull elephant.
18:09This man is intense.
18:11This man is dangerous.
18:13Dangerous with a capital Z.
18:15I can't believe you, Bobby Heenan.
18:19It seems to me you're almost proud of Yokozuna.
18:24How can anyone be proud of a WWF champion who acts in this fashion?
18:29How can anyone be proud of him?
18:30I mean, defeating Crush is one thing.
18:32Yes, let's hand it to him, a great victory for Yokozuna.
18:35But coming down time after time after time into the chest of Crush.
18:40That's absurd.
18:41You know, just like this afternoon in Baltimore at Camden Yards,
18:44while the All Stars hitting those home runs out all day, not one of them
18:48hit as many home runs or made the noise that Yokozuna has just made.
18:53He hit a four bagger.
18:54He hit it in the bottom of the ninth.
18:56He hit it with the bases loaded.
18:58He hit a big one, all the way from New York City to Kona, Hawaii.
19:02And I hope you were watching, Luger.
19:04I hope you were watching good.
19:06The Head Shrinkers, Batu and Samu, managed by AFA.
19:12We will attempt to get an update, by the way, on the condition of Crush.
19:15Hopefully Randy Savage will return to ringside as well and bring us that update.
19:20Crush, one of the great superstars in the WWF.
19:24I still can't get over how Yokozuna manhandled him.
19:28I mean, it seemed as though Crush had things going all his direction,
19:32his wave of momentum, until Fuji jammed him with the flagpole.
19:36Well, I missed that.
19:37My monitor must have gone out.
19:38I thought he lost his footing or his knee.
19:40Yeah, that's why you're calling the slam herd around the world a hip toss, too.
19:44Look out, here they come.
19:45Samu and Batu, all over Walker and Ferguson.
19:50Talk about wild individuals.
19:54That's what you have here.
19:56And these Head Shrinkers now, setting up Ferguson.
19:58Ferguson coming off up and, no.
20:02He's gonna spend a weekend at Bernie's.
20:04My goodness.
20:06Unbelievable.
20:08And the Head Shrinkers are fired up.
20:11They're probably fired up having watched that matchup with Yokozuna.
20:16And Ferguson feeling the effect of that.
20:18Things are heating up.
20:19They've been hot for some time here.
20:21Otherwise, an unquestionable Monday Night Raw really get out of the bar.
20:29He's not moving at all.
20:30Ferguson is hurt, bad.
20:33Look at that, the legs aren't moving.
20:35Look at this, Samu, what is going on here?
20:39They're enjoying themselves.
20:40If there's no competition in the ring, they'll give each other competition.
20:44That's how they unwind.
20:45Samu and Batu, the Head Shrinkers.
20:48However, take note of the recent upsets here on Monday Night Raw.
20:53Anything can, wait a minute, what is this?
20:57Ferguson, I believe, is unconscious and- That young man is hurt bad.
21:02I've never seen anything like this before.
21:06Bringing one individual over, almost Bernie-like fashion,
21:10as you made note of earlier, to tag his partner.
21:14Well, they made the tag, it's legal tag team wrestling.
21:16As a matter of fact, there might be room for him at Bernie's, too.
21:22It is Bernie's, too.
21:23Bernie's three, then four.
21:25No.
21:27Walker having his problems, just as Aaron Ferguson did a little bit earlier on.
21:35Yet to come here on Monday Night Raw, Tataka will be in action,
21:40as well as Mr. Hughes.
21:44And no doubt, again, we will have an update on the condition of Crush,
21:48hopefully momentarily.
21:51Look it, this man hasn't moved yet, the guy in the apron, Ferguson.
21:56And, I don't know, was that a, did he tag back in?
21:59Yes, that was a legal tag.
22:01That was not a legal tag.
22:01Yes, it was, it was a Greco Roman tag.
22:04Down he goes.
22:06Head Shrinkers in complete control.
22:10Look at this, they're just mauling these two ham and eggers.
22:17Kiss the mat now.
22:18Boom.
22:19Ha ha ha, they kissed this one goodbye.
22:22You can bet neither Ferguson nor Walker feel as though they won
22:25a $110 million Powerball Lottery.
22:28Look at this, from the top now.
22:31The only person left for them to beat is Alpha.
22:34Devastating maneuver from the top rope.
22:36One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
22:40Stop it.
22:41In contention for the tag team titles, the Head Shrinkers.
22:45Speaking of the champions, however, the Steiner Brothers,
22:49they put the title on the line on WWF Superstars this coming weekend
22:54against Money Incorporated.
22:56Nonetheless, when we return here on Monday Night Raw,
22:59Randy Savage will join us with a special update.
23:01And joining us as well, the Native American, still undefeated,
23:05the one, the only, Tatanka.
23:10Marty Jannetty, he had a taste of what it's like to be a champion,
23:13and then lost it to the man he defeated.
23:15Now, he wants it back.
23:17Shawn Michaels, he's cocky, he's arrogant,
23:20and he's the Intercontinental Champion.
23:22He lost the title once and he's not about to lose it again.
23:25It's a rematch for the Intercontinental Belt.
23:28Marty Jannetty versus Shawn Michaels, next week on Monday Night Raw.
23:32The WWF title was on the line this week,
23:36the Intercontinental Championship on the line next week, Bobby Hayner.
23:39Well, if I was Shawn Michaels, I wouldn't have had a title match,
23:42especially on Raw.
23:44Raw has been very unlucky for Shawn Michaels.
23:47Who knows what's gonna happen, especially with Jannetty.
23:49And who knows what's gonna happen in this matchup.
23:52One of the great competitors in the WWF, and
23:55one of the few who can state that he is still undefeated.
23:59The great Native American from Lumbee, North Carolina.
24:03Yes, it is Tataka, and Tataka back in action.
24:06He's a dummy.
24:07Promotional consideration paid for by the following.
24:10Biker Pro, you've got to want it.
24:26Chips.
24:26Gotta have beef, gotta have spice, need a little excitement.
24:32Snap into a Slim Jim.
24:34Ooh, yeah.
24:35We're back, and Tataka ready for action here.
24:41And Macho Man Randy Savage joining us momentarily.
24:46And the Brooklyn Brawler now.
24:47Could you possibly give me an explanation for what he's doing, Bobby Hayner?
24:55Well, he likes to incite the people.
24:57He's used to fighting in alleys.
24:58He likes to- He's fighting.
25:00I mean, this is Manhattan, not that far from Brooklyn.
25:03Doesn't he have a number of fans here?
25:05He has no fans, and that's the way he likes it.
25:07Really?
25:08Are you a fan of his?
25:09Definitely not.
25:10I am. I'm probably his only fan.
25:11I'm not a fan of yours either, though.
25:13Yes, you are.
25:13Yeah, sure.
25:16A fired up Brooklyn Brawler here, and a fired up Native American Tataka.
25:20Yeah, but the Brawler's on home turf.
25:22That's the difference.
25:23Home turf.
25:24Well, then again, Tataka's on home turf.
25:26Well, he would have been if his people hadn't have sold the island for
25:29a fake Rolex.
25:31Bobby Hayner, joining us now in the broadcast booth,
25:34Macho Man Randy Savage, what's the condition of your friend Crush?
25:38It's not good, Vince McMahon.
25:40I'm telling you something right now, what Yokozuna did to Crush,
25:44this is, it's got me in a state of shock.
25:46And I'm sure Crush is in a state of shock right now,
25:48because basically, he's having a difficulty breathing.
25:51Now, whatever that means, there's physicians back there, and
25:54there's other medical assistants.
25:55And they're just, they realize that they gotta bring him to a place that they
25:59can give him better care than right here at the Manhattan Center, obviously.
26:03And what has happened to Crush is a terrible thing, Bobby Hayner.
26:07And I don't think that anybody should gloat over what's happened.
26:09And I don't care what President Jack Tunney says.
26:12I had to do what I had to do at the time.
26:14Priority one at the time was not beating up Yokozuna or anything.
26:18It was getting my friend Crush out of there, cuz he's a good guy, and
26:21he doesn't deserve to be in the situation that he is right now.
26:24Well, then why don't you get on the phone and call Luger?
26:26Cuz Luger's the one responsible for it.
26:28Don't come out here and cry your eyes out to me and the world, because-
26:32Don't switch the heat right now.
26:34Come on.
26:35Don't switch the heat.
26:36It's Yokozuna.
26:37Indeed, Bobby, he needs a bit of decorum, if you don't mind.
26:43Big deal.
26:44The important aspect is the condition of Crush.
26:47That's what's important.
26:48Hey, he's gonna be on the shelf for a while.
26:51If they're gonna take him out of Raw here,
26:52and they're gonna move him to some place where they can work on him,
26:55it must be pretty serious.
26:56I would imagine that he will be on the shelf.
26:59Well, you know what had to happen to Hacksaw Jim Duggan when Yokozuna came down
27:03in the chest of Duggan on three occasions.
27:07Duggan was up for a long, long time.
27:09And he landed on Crush four times.
27:12He climbed that second rope four times.
27:15It's all your fault, Mr. Luger.
27:18Hacksaw got back in the ring here.
27:20We apologize for ignoring the importance of this matchup.
27:24That's good.
27:25No.
27:27What you're talking about here is one person trying to get a victory over
27:30another person.
27:31What we're talking about with Crush is a little bit more severe, Heenan.
27:35Yes, a lot more severe.
27:36Of course, I understand that.
27:37But it's not Yokozuna's fault.
27:41Bobby Heenan.
27:41Whose fault is it?
27:43It starts with an L and ends with an X and has an E in the middle.
27:46You figure it out.
27:47Taka continuing to pretty much have his way.
27:52Well, you seem shocked too, McMahon.
27:54You act like a friend is hurt.
27:56You never make friends with people.
27:57It's a business.
27:58They're just meat.
28:00That's what you look at it.
28:01That's how you look at it.
28:02No, no, no.
28:03That's how you look at it, Bobby Heenan.
28:05No one else looks at it that way.
28:07People have to care about other people.
28:10Care?
28:11Don't give me that.
28:12You sit here and you call the action.
28:14Whatever happens in there, happens.
28:16You don't worry about anybody else.
28:17That's when you get in trouble.
28:18That's when you got watery eyes like Savage has here when he came back from the dressing room.
28:24His big buddy's laid out now.
28:25Who cares?
28:26You know, you're starting to convince me, Heenan.
28:28I don't care about you and I don't care about Yokozuna.
28:30I'm starting to get the picture.
28:32Uh-oh.
28:32And it's right now.
28:34Take a look at this.
28:35A neck breaker by the brawler.
28:36Will this be another upset on Monday Night Raw?
28:39Why is a brawler moving in for the cover?
28:42Well, you know what's going down, don't you?
28:43With Bam Bam Bigelow and Taka.
28:46You know, Bam Bam Bigelow is madly in love with Luna.
28:49And Luna's madly in love with Bam Bam.
28:52And a few months back, you know, Taka made some moves on Luna.
28:56Would you please stop it, Bobby?
28:57He made some moves on Lonnie Anderson.
28:58That's why Burt Dunker.
29:00What?
29:00You didn't hear that?
29:02You've made these outlandish accusations before.
29:05Taka now moving back in on the Brooklyn Brawler.
29:08Reverse knife edge.
29:09Brawler now hauled out of the corner for the ride to the buckle.
29:12Taka.
29:13Oh, look at that.
29:15Could we be seeing the makings of yet another upset?
29:18Brawler on another clothesline.
29:19You know, he can only go undefeated for so long.
29:21All the averages are going to catch up with this squad.
29:23And it can happen with anybody at any time.
29:28The brawler now with that stinking shirt he has now wrapped around the throat.
29:32Come on, ref.
29:34Ah, New Yorkers in the air.
29:35Smell it.
29:37That's raw.
29:38Oh, stop it, Bobby Heenan.
29:42Into the facial area.
29:44The brawler.
29:46These officials, I believe, need to assert the rules and regulations a bit more.
29:51Things have really gotten out of hand this week.
29:53That's why I should be president of the WWF.
29:55What?
29:56Cover, two, and a kick out by Tatanka.
29:58That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard.
30:01Kick out by Tatanka?
30:02No, you being president of the WWF.
30:04Oh, you agree with me then?
30:06I do not in any way agree with you.
30:08Come on, brawler, squeeze.
30:09I think we should call our congressmen,
30:11because somebody's got to take President Jack Tunney's place.
30:15All he's got to do is basically turn his back so you can run in the ring and interfere.
30:18Brother, I think, why don't you get in the ring with me on Raw next week?
30:23Let's do some special challenge type of situation.
30:24Yeah, we've got the Intercontinental title on the line next week.
30:28Why not Bobby Heenan versus the Macho Man?
30:30I like it.
30:31No, thank you.
30:32I'll be busy that week.
30:33It's my cat's birthday.
30:34Exactly.
30:36Tatanka trying to get back to his feet.
30:39And indeed, top wrist lock and whatnot.
30:44Look at the yank in the hair.
30:45Down goes Tatanka.
30:47Brawler trying to assert himself, doing a pretty good job of it.
30:50Really mixing it up.
30:51Oh, come on.
30:54You find this humorous?
30:56You know how to say hello to Tatanka?
30:58You go, hi, how are you?
30:59Hi, how are you?
31:01Probably didn't know that.
31:02No, I did not.
31:04Uppercut.
31:06And the brawler now with Tatanka.
31:08Taking him from pillar to post.
31:11You know, I'm starting to think that nothing's sacred.
31:14I'm starting to think we need the momentum just like Tatanka's got right now.
31:17Let's do it.
31:18Do it for the red, white, and blue.
31:20And do it for Crush.
31:21And do it for everybody out there and all at one time.
31:25A chop by Tatanka.
31:26Another one.
31:27Tatanka with the momentum.
31:29Tatanka going to the outside.
31:31Going upstairs just like we saw Crush do earlier in the match.
31:35And down goes the brawler.
31:39Tatanka not covering the brawler.
31:41Back to his feet.
31:42Now, what's going to happen as he might bend?
31:47A half inch to go.
31:48That'll take the stuffings right out of you.
31:51Well, Sanders, why don't you go run and see how the brawler's doing?
31:54Hey, brother, I don't have no concern for him.
31:56You taught me not to care.
31:58Dig it.
31:58That's right.
31:59Don't care.
32:00I'll stop it.
32:01At least be selective for whom you care about.
32:04Exactly.
32:06Tatanka, victorious here on Monday Night Raw.
32:09We'll have a further update on the condition of Crush as we proceed.
32:14Not to come here on Raw.
32:16Adam Bomb will join us along with men on a mission.
32:20Bomb.
32:20And then from there, yes, up next, the man who stole the urn.
32:24The man who put Paul Bearer out of action is on The Undertaker's hit list, Mr. Hughes.
32:32It was hot outside.
32:34Today we had an occasion to chat with some of the individuals outside the Manhattan Center.
32:37They had some very interesting comments.
32:40Lex Luger's the only one that was able to body slam Yokozuna.
32:42He definitely deserves a title shot and fight for the honor of USA and pin a one, two, three.
32:47Lex slammed Yokozuna.
32:48He should get a shot at the title.
32:50Lex Luger, he came in for our country when we needed him.
32:54When no other American athlete could slam Yokozuna, he came in for his country and he
32:58helped our country when we needed it the most.
33:01Lex Luger definitely deserves a title shot.
33:03And when he beats Yokozuna one, two, three, American will have its second celebration.
33:07It's first when they picked up Yokozuna and when Lex gets his title that he deserves.
33:12I think Lex Luger should be able to fight Yokozuna for the WWF title.
33:18We're back.
33:19Some very interesting comments.
33:20I would think you would concur.
33:21Bobby Hinnant?
33:22I'd like to have some crazy glue.
33:23We got to talk to those kids and glue those lips together.
33:27I can't get over you.
33:29You don't have any respect for anyone.
33:30You don't have any respect for Kross.
33:32You don't have any respect for many of the competitors here.
33:35You certainly don't have any respect for the fans.
33:37Not even himself.
33:39Well, I respect me and I also respect the WWF champion, Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji.
33:45Tony DeVito, first cousin of Basil DeVito.
33:50You recall Basil years ago in the WWF?
33:53Yeah, in another lifetime.
33:54I think he owes me money too, but I respect Lex Luger one million percent.
34:00I know Kross does also.
34:02Mr. Hughes has a bit of respect, I would suggest, from The Undertaker.
34:08Maybe a little undeserved respect.
34:11I can't get over how...
34:13Wait a minute, what is this?
34:16And who is that?
34:19Some guy's got a hole in his haircut.
34:20I don't know who's more eerie, the wreak or the guy.
34:24They go hand in hand.
34:26Hughes has not seen what has arrived here on the outside.
34:31Some sort of a black...
34:32Now he's focused in.
34:34A black reel.
34:36I would suggest that might...
34:39Rest in peace.
34:40I would suggest that is a gift from The Undertaker.
34:45So The Undertaker may not be here, but his presence unquestionably is felt.
34:51The Undertaker, who would like to have indeed Paul Bearer return back to action at his side.
34:57And he would like very much to have that, I believe, somewhat sacred urn back.
35:01Oh, look at that.
35:03But you don't know if that wreath is from The Undertaker.
35:06Who would it be from?
35:07Maybe that weird guy that brought it up.
35:08Maybe he just likes to carry black wreaths around with him.
35:11I would doubt that very much.
35:14Where do you get a black wreath?
35:22They couldn't very well pick up those remarks by Mr. Hughes,
35:25but nonetheless they were directed toward The Undertaker.
35:29And for the ride!
35:31What authority!
35:32That'll just take the vertebrae right out.
35:35What a maneuver by Mr. Hughes.
35:40Hughes all over his opposition here.
35:42DeVito having problems.
35:46I can't get over the lack of respect.
35:48Look at this.
35:49They could have had him right there.
35:51He could have had him covered right there.
35:53You know what impresses me about Hughes?
35:55That 360 pounds of explosion.
35:58The energy this man has and the explosive power and the speed is tremendous.
36:03Whoa, drop kick by Hughes!
36:04Not to mention the agility.
36:06All-around athlete, no question of that.
36:08Mr. Hughes, I just can't-
36:09It's you, Undertaker!
36:11You're going down!
36:12Oh, really?
36:13I just can't get over the lack of respect Hughes has for The Undertaker.
36:17No one has stepped up to the plate quite-
36:19Wow, look at that!
36:22A cover!
36:22This is it.
36:23And that maneuver reminiscent of The Undertaker himself.
36:28I'll tell you, things are pretty geared up in the World Wrestling Federation.
36:31In order to shine through now, you gotta be real special.
36:34Yes, but Hughes challenging The Undertaker as The Undertaker has never been challenged before.
36:40Rest in peace.
36:42Yes, and that could very well be what Hughes will be doing
36:46after a one-on-one matchup with The Undertaker.
36:50I don't think The Undertaker wants any part of Mr. Hughes.
36:52Why?
36:52He'd like to have his earn back, but he's not gonna go through Mr. Hughes to get it.
36:56Oh, he's not, huh?
36:57I wouldn't think so.
36:58Not the way Hughes took him apart.
37:01R.I.P., brother.
37:06And Mr. Hughes-
37:09From The Undertaker.
37:10From The Undertaker.
37:12Rest in peace, Mr. Hughes.
37:18It's taking Mr. Hughes a while to read, doesn't it?
37:19He's not taking speed reading courses, we know that.
37:22Oh, he's got sunglasses on.
37:24And look what he's doing to that wreath.
37:27There's respect.
37:28Shows how much respect he has for The Undertaker and the wreath.
37:30That could very well be what The Undertaker does to Mr. Hughes if he ever gets his hands on him.
37:35Now go get the guy that brought the wreath and take him apart.
37:38Undertaker, you want me, you come and get me.
37:41You know where to find me, boy.
37:43Oh, my.
37:46With The Undertaker's urn in the air,
37:49Mr. Hughes leaves the ring triumphant.
37:52Standing by, Mean Gene Oakerland.
38:05Whoa, it's quite obvious Mr. Hughes is totally out of control.
38:09And here we go with your SummerSlam report right here on Raw.
38:12As you know, it has been brutally hot up and down the East Coast over the past couple of weeks.
38:17Things are really starting to heat up in the Motor City, too, for SummerSlam.
38:22Monday night, August 30th.
38:24Royalty will be on the line when the King of the Ring winner Bret Hart
38:28takes on the self-proclaimed King Jerry Lawler.
38:31Their differences reach the boiling point at the King of the Ring coronation
38:34when Lawler brutally attacked Hart.
38:37The hitman has a burning desire to reciprocate.
38:41I've been told this weekend Lex Luger will have a major announcement to make
38:44on WWF's Superstars in Challenge.
38:46Apparently, Luger is getting ready to launch some kind of a campaign.
38:50Vince, what have you guys heard?
38:53You know, McMahon, what I heard is Lex Luger
38:55wants to join President Clinton over in Korea.
38:58He wants a one-way ticket because after what happened tonight,
39:01he is terrified of Yokozuna.
39:03Clinton's gonna come home, but he's gonna stay.
39:08Welcome back to more Monday Night Raw.
39:10Bobby the Brain, he and you heard the news.
39:12We're gonna find out who the real king is at SummerSlam.
39:16But right now, we're gonna take a look at Mom, Men on a Mission.
39:20No, no, you got it wrong, McMahon.
39:22It's men who eat and live at a mission.
39:26Here's Mom.
39:45We're on a mission.
39:59We're on a mission.
40:13We're on a mission.
40:21I got my boy.
40:22He's willing and able.
40:23What's his name?
40:24His name is Mabel.
40:26Mabel, I said it.
40:27He's on a case.
40:28What's wrong with Mabel?
40:30To his face.
40:31$4.95 and he's built to last.
40:33So let's assign for you.
40:34The boy is fast.
40:36S to the A to the B-E-L.
40:38He's guaranteed to ring your bell.
40:41We're on a mission.
40:42We're on a mission.
40:44We're on a mission.
40:46That's right.
40:48We're on a mission.
40:58We're back with more Monday Night Raw, Men on a Mission, by the way, will join us next
41:02week in action.
41:04But speaking of action, hopefully we never see this kind of action ever again in the
41:08world.
41:10It's the big one.
41:12My goodness.
41:14Very impressive footage.
41:18Signifying the arrival of a very impressive athlete.
41:22Mr. Adam Bomb from Three Mile Island.
41:30Take a look if you like.
41:32There's my good buddy, Johnny Polo.
41:34The boy is fast.
41:36Weighing 262 and one half pounds, Adam Bomb.
41:46Sort of a scary individual to say the least.
41:48By the way, Adam Bomb happens to be the personality profile in this month's WWF
41:54Magazine, which goes on sale.
41:56And new stands everywhere tomorrow.
41:58Scott Amati, knowing full well he's in there against an extraordinary competitor.
42:02Adam Bomb, by the way, rejoining us now after coming from the rushing room area once again.
42:06Randy Savage, Banjo Man Randy Savage.
42:08What's the story on Crush?
42:10Well, I'm not very encouraged by it, even though I have to admit that he's breathing
42:14a little bit better than before.
42:16But not being an expert, I don't want to say, well, he could, you know, Bobby Heenan, he
42:20could have some permanent damage right there.
42:22And I'm looking, this is my friend we're talking about.
42:24So be careful what you say.
42:26No doubt about it, he's going to have some permanent damage.
42:28A man 560-some pounds lands on you four times from the second rope.
42:32But you see, you can't have friends in this sport.
42:34Cut it off right there.
42:36Let me tell you something about permanent.
42:38Hey, listen, if it's not me that does it against Yokozuna, it might be Lex Luger or
42:42it might be a tie.
42:44Both of us get to him at the same time.
42:46You understand that, Heenan?
42:48I understand.
42:50Crush is hurt.
42:52But he knew that when he got in the ring.
42:54Hey, cut it off.
42:56I want you to be quiet.
42:58Send him back to the dressing room.
43:00Get him out of here.
43:02Things are a lot better.
43:04He don't get on my case.
43:06Someone's going to get on Yokozuna's case.
43:08And it may be Randy Savage, as was brought out moments ago.
43:10It may be Lex Luger.
43:12My goodness.
43:14But right now, getting on the case of Scott Amati is this devastating Adam Baum.
43:16Look at that.
43:18Beaten by his neck.
43:20When's the last time you saw somebody do that?
43:22Very impressive athlete.
43:24And speaking of impressive, Macho Man Randy Savage,
43:26I must congratulate you.
43:28You and your new tag team partner, Todd Pettengill,
43:30every Saturday morning at 10 o'clock Eastern on USA.
43:32It's WWF Mania.
43:34Carnage, destruction, and ruin.
43:36Adam Baum.
43:38Speaking about USA Network,
43:40what about my program at noon on Sundays,
43:42All-American?
43:44You mean JR for lunch?
43:46No, no.
43:48I don't work with a tag team.
43:50I work alone.
43:52That's my program.
43:54It's my show.
43:56It's like Raw's mine.
43:58Everything's JR's.
44:00It's all you.
44:02It's all Bobby Heenan.
44:04You'll be a lot better off.
44:06Kick him, Johnny.
44:08What?
44:10You can kick him.
44:12You're allowed to kick him.
44:14He's outside the ring.
44:16If he was in the ring and Johnny was in the ring,
44:18that'd be wrong.
44:20He's all over Scott Amati.
44:22Talk to him, Johnny.
44:24Total destruction.
44:26Total destruction.
44:28Badminton racket in his hand.
44:30We played the other day for almost 20 minutes.
44:32What an exercise we had.
44:34What a workout that was.
44:36Badminton?
44:38Yes.
44:40Adam Baum now going up to the top.
44:42This impressive 300-pounder now perched on the top rope.
44:44Amati waiting.
44:46What a clothesline.
44:48Adam Baum
44:50all over Amati.
44:52You're impressed, Bobby.
44:54Boy, am I.
44:56He's well over 300 pounds.
44:58Look at this.
45:00He could have pinned him right there,
45:02but he wants to lie.
45:04And the cover,
45:06and the breakdown.
45:08What is going on here lately?
45:10Adam Baum
45:12victorious with manager Johnny Polo.
45:14Adam Baum.
45:16Why don't you go help that guy back, Savage?
45:18You've helped everybody else.
45:20I've just been handed a note.
45:22You're not going to believe this.
45:24Next week on Monday Night Raw,
45:26the king, or self-professed king,
45:28Jerry, the King Lawler,
45:30is going to join us.
45:32He's going to have a special King's Court.
45:34His guest, Tiny Tim.
45:36What a singer.
45:38He's my favorite entertainer.
45:40Tiny Tim.
45:42Remember Tiny Tim and Miss Vicky
45:44got married on The Tonight Show?
45:46You remember that?
45:48It was one of the highest rated shows in the history of television.
45:50But that was a mere wedding.
45:52That wasn't that important.
45:54Think when he shows up in the King's Court
45:56on Monday Night Raw.
45:58Jerry, the King Lawler,
46:00I've got to take my hat off to you.

46:52here on Raw?
