00:00Last Monday night, Macho Man Randy Savage was only a half a count away
00:05from winning the coveted WWF title for the third time,
00:09when his dream was shattered by the blatant interference of Crush.
00:14Will dreams come true tonight, or will they again be shattered?
00:19As Crush tonight teams up with Rebellious Owen Hart, and
00:24they square off in tag team action against Billionaire.
00:28Against Billion Bart of the Smoking Guns on Monday Night Raw.
00:34Welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw.
00:39I'm your host,
00:43Randy Orton.
00:47And I'm your host,
00:53Billionaire Owen Hart.
01:00Welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw.
01:05You just saw some of the action of last week.
01:08There's no telling what is gonna happen here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
01:13Anything can happen here in the World Wrestling Federation.
01:16I'm Vince McMahon, and joining me, ladies and gentlemen,
01:19here at ringside, the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase.
01:22I must say, Mr. DiBiase, even with your money,
01:25there's some things that money can't buy.
01:27And among them will be a very special presentation
01:30to the Native American, Tataka, here tonight.
01:34What are you gonna learn, McMahon?
01:36Everybody and everything, without exception, has got a price.
01:40But there are just some things that aren't worth buying.
01:43And this presentation to Tataka is one of them.
01:47Oh, really?
01:48Well, in action, in single competition, Erwin R. Shyster.
01:51And when a taxman comes to town, that's no laughing matter, not even for you.
01:55However, we could have a little laughter here a little bit later on,
01:59because Doink and Dink are gonna join us,
02:01and maybe the yucks are gonna be at your expense.
02:04I always get the last laugh.
02:07Oh, really? How about this?
02:09Your former bodyguard, wrestler extraordinaire, Virgil,
02:12here tonight, one-on-one with Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
02:16Look, McMahon, I bought and paid for Virgil,
02:19and if he had half a brain, he'd still be working for me.
02:22But tonight, Virgil's gonna pay some heavy dues.
02:25He's gonna pay heavy dues to Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
02:28Here we go!
02:39And this, ladies and gentlemen,
02:40one of the premier tag team combinations in all of the WWF.
02:46The Smoking Guns.
02:48Collectively, they can defeat any team in the WWF today,
02:53including The Rock and Owen Hart and Crush,
02:56their opposition here tonight.
02:58Boy, McMahon, I think you better rethink that.
03:01Owen Hart and Crush have been on a roll as of late.
03:04Have you seen what they've been doing in the WWF lately?
03:07They have been extremely successful.
03:09I'll grant you that, but supremely successful
03:12in individual competition, not collectively.
03:15They team up together tonight on Monday Night Raw
03:17for the first time.
03:18Take a look at this combination.
03:24What a monster to Crush is.
03:35Well, yes, that could happen.
03:37The Rock and Owen Hart could, in fact, defeat his brother,
03:40the Hitman Bret Hart, at WrestleMania.
03:42If he does, he will be recognized as the number one Hart.
03:47He's looking at a man with some extreme confidence now.
03:50He's stepping out of the shadow of Big Brother,
03:52and he's going all the way to the top, McMahon.
03:55That's my prediction.
03:57Yeah, there he is, continuing to say he's the best there was,
03:59the best there is, and the best there ever will be.
04:02I'll tell you what, when you talk about WrestleMania,
04:04how about the match with the Macho Man Randy Savage
04:06and Crush?
04:07Crush just last week on Monday Night Raw
04:09prevented the Macho Man from certain victory,
04:12prevented Randy Savage from once again
04:14becoming the WWF Champion.
04:16They will clash one final time at WrestleMania.
04:20And listen to this partisan crowd.
04:24They are booing Crush.
04:28They are booing Owen Hart.
04:32And look, how about that?
04:34Former WWF great Nikolai Volkov once again in attendance.
04:38Hey, how about that suit, McMahon?
04:40Where'd he get that?
04:41Crush's suit?
04:42That's the same one he wears all the time.
04:44He's talking about Nikolai.
04:45Nikolai.
04:46Wait a minute.
04:47Watch this now.
04:48You know what Bret Hart does?
04:50He gives his glasses to some lucky youngster
04:52out about ringside.
04:53Look, this is what Owen Hart, look at this,
04:56what a bastardly thing to do.
04:57That's what I'm going to do to you at WrestleMania 10,
05:00brother.
05:02Oh, really?
05:03A man after my own heart.
05:05You like this man, don't you?
05:06Extremely so.
05:07As a matter of fact, there has been a great deal of speculation
05:10as to just who has been whispering in Owen Hart's ear.
05:14I mean, some feel that it's Jerry the King Lawler.
05:17Some feel that it might even be you, Ted DiBiase.
05:19Well, you know what they say, money talks.
05:21Yeah, right.
05:23Locking up the rope now.
05:24Referee asking for the clean break.
05:25And look at the arrogance or the confidence of The Rocket.
05:32Look at this.
05:34Owen Hart hammering away on part.
05:36Owen Hart setting up part now.
05:38Nice reversal coming off the rope.
05:40And right back.
05:42To the other side, hip toss.
05:43Nicely done.
05:45Arm drag takedown.
05:47Bart is taking it to The Rocket.
05:52And again, winding him up now.
05:54Billy and Bart the smoking guns.
05:56Come on, ref, get in there.
05:58Aggressive tackles on the part of Owen Hart.
06:00Here comes The Mighty Crush.
06:02This is the first time I believe Crush and The Rocket
06:05have ever teamed up.
06:06So I believe the smoking guns have the advantage.
06:09I'll tell you what, McMahon.
06:10I think they had an awful lot in common, Owen and Crush.
06:13Two people who were neglected by friends and family.
06:16Just taking a high road.
06:17They've been extremely successful.
06:19And they're going to continue to be so.
06:22You think so?
06:23Yeah, they've got something in common, all right.
06:25Crush turns on his once best friend, Randy Savage.
06:29And Owen turns on his brother, Brat.
06:32That's what they have in common.
06:35To each his own.
06:37And now, Crush with Bart.
06:40Bart puts on the brakes.
06:41Nice moving.
06:42Nice, yes.
06:43Nice takedown.
06:45Bart right over.
06:46Oh, wait a minute.
06:47Watch this.
06:48High wrist maneuver.
06:49Fly body press.
06:50Hook the leg rod.
06:51Two.
06:52No, kick out by two.
06:54Take a lot more to keep that big man down.
06:56Standing side headlock.
06:58Yes, tag your brother.
06:59Here we go.
07:00Billy coming in.
07:02And Billy now.
07:03Well, aggressive tactics in its own right.
07:05Standing side headlock.
07:07Billy and Bart, you'll see the frequent tags all the way
07:10throughout this matchup.
07:11They're well-oiled machines of smoking guns.
07:14Pressing with the elbow, Crush.
07:16Oh, look at that.
07:17Yes.
07:18Getting down.
07:19Billy hanging on.
07:20Yes.
07:21One, two.
07:23And again, the mighty Crush kicking out.
07:25Oh, what a devastating job.
07:28Crush breaking the face down.
07:31Risking disqualification.
07:33Well, there ain't no disqualification with a match
07:36of Savage and Crush at WrestleMania.
07:38Yes, we'll have more on that a little bit later on.
07:40Crush now continuing to attack Billy.
07:44And again, going down into midsection.
07:46Crush is a powerhouse.
07:48No question about it.
07:49Very few of any can match his power in all of the WWF.
07:53Listen to this crowd, however.
07:56Billy, both tag his partner.
07:58And Crush with a headbutt.
08:00Crush standing there like an oak tree a moment ago.
08:02I was going to say, look at the size of that man.
08:04Taking those shots to the gut, just like they were nothing.
08:07And now, Billy to the buckle.
08:08There comes Crush.
08:09Oh, yes.
08:10Nice maneuver.
08:11Billy now in the second row.
08:12And yes, for a bulldog.
08:16Cover that man.
08:18What's he doing?
08:19Billy Gunn now going for the armbar.
08:21For a moment, it looked like Billy Gunn
08:23had an opportunity to cover Crush.
08:25Crush was down on the mat.
08:29It will take an awful lot to keep that big man down, McMahon.
08:32Yeah, and now tagging in is The Rocket.
08:34Nice hip toss.
08:36Arm drag.
08:39Standing side headlock again.
08:41Owen trying to rid himself of Billy Gunn.
08:43Billy coming off the rope.
08:44Nice tackle.
08:45To the rope again.
08:46Over Owen Hart.
08:47Billy Gunn right back to let you know.
08:49Nice leapfrog to the reverse and over.
08:50Oh, my goodness.
08:52What a move by Owen Hart.
08:54Look at this.
08:55Crush rocking his brother, Bret.
08:58Owen Hart now trying to set up Billy Gunn.
09:01And snap.
09:02Nice suplex.
09:04What's he doing now?
09:05Whoa.
09:06Drops the leg.
09:07The Rocket, Owen Hart, is really coming into his own.
09:10He's determined, McMahon, to walk out
09:12of that shadow of his big brother.
09:14And I think he's going to do it.
09:15Oh, my.
09:16And now Crush and The Rocket beginning to punch.
09:19And there's a team.
09:20There's a unit.
09:21Wide open Billy Gunn.
09:23Wow.
09:24To the sternum is Crush.
09:28Now you can hear the chant, we want Bret.
09:32So does Owen.
09:36Yes, no question.
09:38Oh, come on, ref.
09:42Take your shots wherever you can get them, McMahon.
09:44And again, Crush.
09:45Pulling it over to the midsection.
09:46The Rocket, Owen Hart, hanging on to the referee's blind side.
09:49Turn around, ref.
09:51There's some teamwork.
09:53Billy Gunn being hammered down.
09:55Being pummeled by Crush.
09:57The knee right up in the spine of the back.
09:59And this could do it.
10:00A sloppy, arrogant cover.
10:02And he does not get the fall.
10:05Tag is made once again.
10:06In comes The Rocket.
10:07Uh-oh.
10:08From the top rope.
10:09Look at this.
10:10From the top.
10:11What a drop kick.
10:14This matchup will continue.
10:16Our coverage of Monday Night Raw continues.
10:18Stay with us.
10:20Welcome back to our Monday Night Raw.
10:22Owen Hart preventing Billy.
10:24No, no.
10:25He makes a tag to Burt.
10:26Here comes Burt Gunn.
10:27The Gunns, Billy and Burt, squaring up against The Rocket.
10:30And his tag team partner, Crush.
10:32And, oh, no.
10:34What a back button.
10:35Wait a minute.
10:36Crush coming in.
10:37He's knocked outside.
10:38Now, things can really go to town for The Gunns.
10:42Coming off the rope.
10:43And, yeah.
10:45What a clothesline.
10:46What a clothesline.
10:48Things not looking too good for The Rocket, Owen Hart, at the moment.
10:51Again, Burt Gunn setting him up.
10:53Coming off the rope.
10:54And a big power slam.
10:56Covering one, two, and oh.
10:58Crush coming in just like he did last week, ladies and gentlemen.
11:01Just like he did last week to save Yokozuna's title.
11:04Now saving, perhaps, The Rocket, Owen Hart, his tag team partner.
11:08Oh, look at this.
11:09Up across and...
11:11Oh, took his leg right out from under him.
11:14I can't believe what Crush did.
11:16That's really hammering on Crush.
11:18Oh, wait a minute.
11:19No, no, no.
11:20No, don't kill me.
11:21There he goes.
11:22Owen Hart has the sharpshooter applied.
11:25Come on, Bart.
11:26Hang in there.
11:27Hang in there, Bart.
11:28Don't give up.
11:29Don't give up.
11:30Uh-oh.
11:32And The Rocket, Owen Hart, ladies and gentlemen, still hanging on to the sharpshooter.
11:37A hold on Crush that he learned from his brother, The Hitman.
11:40And, by the way, this Sunday, The Hitman, Owen's brother, The Hitman,
11:45will square off against Crush one-on-one.
11:48That's this Sunday, exclusively on USA.
11:51I'm going to grab an interview with these guys.
11:53Let's go back out and take a look at the replay.
11:57Now, look at this, McMahon.
11:58This has got to be the best sharpshooter I have ever seen.
12:02Owen Hart has stepped in.
12:03He's taken his brother's hold, and he's perfected it.
12:06He's made it better.
12:08All right, ladies and gentlemen.
12:10The Rocket, Owen Hart, along with Crush, Mr. Fuji,
12:14and it seems to me that you two just might be in cahoots
12:18because on the way to WrestleMania,
12:21you, with your sights set on your brother, Bret, at WrestleMania X,
12:25this man now will step into the ring
12:28and face your brother in single competition.
12:32That's right.
12:33Crush, I know you're fighting Bret this Sunday.
12:36You know what?
12:37I know you can beat him.
12:38There's no question about that.
12:40But what I'm asking you is take it easy on him.
12:43Don't hurt him too bad.
12:44Don't let him have any excuses
12:46so that when he fights me at WrestleMania,
12:48he's not going to have an excuse.
12:50It'll be you and me, one-on-one, Bret,
12:52and you'll be happy when you do.
12:53You know what, Owen?
12:54Bret Hart is nothing but a built-in excuse,
12:58and nobody knows that better than you
13:00going back to Royal Rumble.
13:02Bret Hart, you call yourself the excellence of execution.
13:06What in Hawaii?
13:07Talk is cheap, brother.
13:08Take a good, long look
13:11at the World Wrestling Federation powerhouse.
13:13Me and Master Fuji this Sunday are going to take you apart,
13:16and our hardest task is not going to be to finish you off.
13:19I want to leave a little bit for this man right here
13:22who has the best sharpshooter in the World Wrestling Federation,
13:25Owen.
13:26That's right, Crush.
13:27I know you can break him into pieces
13:29just like I did with his glasses,
13:31but, Crush, save one little piece of the Hitman
13:34for me at WrestleMania
13:35so that he doesn't have any excuses.
13:37I'm going to beat you, brother.
13:39Let's check it out later.
13:40You gentlemen, it's Todd Pettengill
13:42and the WrestleMania Report.
13:44Thank you very much, Vince,
13:45and welcome, everyone,
13:46to the WrestleMania Report,
13:47exclusively here on Monday Night Raw.
13:49I'm Vince McMahon.
14:39It's Monday afternoon, March the 20th, from the sold-out Madison Square Garden in New
14:43York City.
14:44I am here tonight to talk about that event.
14:46Ten years in the making and exploding on pay-per-view all over the world.
14:51You know, when you hear the word WrestleMania, you of course think about great wrestling
14:54action.
14:55But you should also think about the celebrities, and man, oh man, we got a bunch of them.
14:58Check out this list.
15:00Jenny Garth, who plays Kelly on Beverly Hills 90210.
15:04Showtime's happy critics, Bucky and Vinny.
15:06You're going to like these guys.
15:07They're two of the cutest New Yorkers you'll ever see.
15:10Plus the official hair consultant for WrestleMania X, Si Sperling will be in the house, along
15:15with one of the hottest names in the music industry, Donnie Wahlberg from NKOTV.
15:20Think it can't get any bigger?
15:21Well, think again.
15:22We have the incomparable Little Richard.
15:25Woo!
15:26He will kick off the extravaganza by singing America the Beautiful.
15:30If you have not heard his rendition of America the Beautiful, man, it's going to be hot.
15:35We have also landed, yes, the list continues.
15:37One of Hollywood's biggest and brightest stars.
15:40This guy's done television.
15:41He's done movies.
15:42He has done everything in the world of showbiz.
15:44He is the one and only Burt Reynolds, who happens to be a close friend of mine, of course.
15:49I know all the heavies.
15:50Yeah, we've known each other for years.
15:52I helped out in one of his movies.
15:53I fed the pig from Deliverance.
15:56Come on.
15:57Don't miss Burt or any of the other celebrities in the house for WrestleMania X.
16:02All you have to do, pick up that telephone, call your local cable company, and place your
16:06order for pay-per-view, just two weeks from yesterday.
16:09Right now, I want to run the card of action for the mega monster event that put pay-per-view
16:13television on the map, WrestleMania.
16:16And this is the big one.
16:17Ten years in the making, and it will feature an unprecedented two WWF Championship matches.
16:23A first in the World Wrestling Federation without question.
16:26By now, you certainly know that Lex Luger won the coin toss to earn the right to take
16:30on the WWF Champion, Yokozuna, first.
16:34That means Bret the Hitman Hart would have to have a match under his belt as well.
16:38He will take on Brother Owen Hart, who you just saw in action, a very personal matchup
16:42that has deep emotional ramifications in the Hart family.
16:45Now, keep in mind, regardless of the outcome of the Bret and Owen match, the Hitman will
16:49then take on the winner of the Lex-Yoko match.
16:52Now, I want you to remember, there will also be two very special guest referees, one for
16:57each WWF Championship match, and as you know, they could be anybody.
17:02Now, a match being billed as one of the wildest ever, the Macho Man, Randy Savage, will do
17:07battle with one-time friend and now bitter enemy, Kona Crush, who we also saw earlier
17:12on.
17:13Both superstars are predicting they are the better wrestler.
17:16You will be able to witness and see what happens totally live at WrestleMania 10.
17:21The Intercontinental Championship is also on the line as champion Razor Ramon takes
17:25on the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels, in a ladder match.
17:29Let's just talk about that for a second.
17:30An eight-foot ladder starts in the aisle, and then both Razor's Intercontinental Championship
17:35belt and Shawn Michaels' bogus belt are suspended high over the ring.
17:39It's simple.
17:40The first superstar to grab both belts wins the Intercontinental title.
17:44Remember, once the ladder is in the ring, it is definitely in play.
17:48And one thing's for sure, after this match, there will only be one Intercontinental belt
17:52in the World Wrestling Federation.
17:54Another title on the line is the Tag Team Championship.
17:57When on a mission, try and take the belts away from the Quebecers.
18:01And this one ought to shake the rafters of the garden.
18:03There are definitely no Jenny Craig Dieters in this force.
18:06Now the WWF Women's Championship is also up for grabs as champion Alundra Blaze defends
18:11her title against Leilani Kai.
18:14You will also see the very popular Earthquake taking on the destructive Adam Palm.
18:20And in a mysterious mixed tag, Bam Bam Bigelow and his main squeeze, Luna, will take on Doink
18:26and Dink.
18:27The Doinkster will be in action tonight here on Monday Night Raw, so hold on to your valuables.
18:31How about the big 10-man tag set for WrestleMania 10 as the Smoking Guns team with Tatanka,
18:37the 1-2-3 Kid, and Sparky Plug to do battle with the Head Shrinkers, IRS, Double J, and
18:43the model Rick Martel.
18:44Now if I were you, I'd be looking for my last cable bill so I could locate the number of
18:49my cable company and call to place my order for WrestleMania 10 on Pay-Per-View.
18:53If you were me, you'd have already done that.
18:55I'm telling you, it's not easy being me.
18:57But I've got news for you.
18:58The glitz, the glamour, the stars, the fireworks, the music, the great wrestling matches, it's
19:03all gonna happen Sunday afternoon, March the 20th, with or without you.
19:07Wouldn't you rather be in on it?
19:09Excuse me, I'm a little distracted here.
19:12That music, you know what that means, don't you?
19:14It's time for me, T-O-D-D, to get on out of here and get back to more action here on Monday
19:19Night Raw with J-E-F-F, J-A-R-R-E-T-T.
19:24Oh my God.
19:25Yeah, something like that.
19:27Thank you, Todd, Pat Gillen.
19:28There he is, ladies and gentlemen.
19:29Uh-oh, Double Jerk.
19:30I don't know about that.
19:31Double J, have you ever heard Double J sing Ted DiBiase?
19:33Have I ever heard him sing?
19:34Let me tell you something, man.
19:35There's a man right there that's going all the way to the top in music as well as the
19:40wrestling world.
19:41Double J, J-E-F-F, J-A-R-R-E-T, who claims that he's the best singer country music has
19:46ever heard, and I'll tell you what, here he comes.
19:49He's a tremendous competitor.
19:51You know he will, Ted DiBiase.
19:53It's Virgil.
19:54Here's somebody that's going absolutely nowhere, McMahon.
19:58Oh, really?
19:59I beg to differ from that point of view.
20:01What a matchup this is going to be.
20:03Virgil squares off against Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
20:08We are back with more Monday Night Raw.
20:10What a matchup this is likely to be.
20:12Virgil squaring off against Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
20:15Virgil's gonna fall fast with Frank Sinatra.
20:18What did you say?
20:19Frank Sinatra.
20:20Virgil's gonna fall.
20:21Come on, please.
20:22Mr. Sinatra, by the way, doing very well.
20:24Uh-oh.
20:25Look at this.
20:26And I would suggest Virgil is going to do very well here against Double J.
20:31And Double J would not be wise to mix it up in the Fist of Cup fashion with Virgil,
20:37former bodyguard, and this man knows what he is doing with his hands.
20:42Yeah, well, it's too bad he doesn't have anything on top of those shoulders.
20:46What are you talking about?
20:47Well, Virgil hasn't been anything since he betrayed the Million Dollar Man.
20:50He's just gone downhill.
20:52Oh, is that right?
20:53I'll tell you what he's been.
20:54He's been a man.
20:55He's been a man without the influence of Ted DiBiase.
20:58He's been a man without any money.
21:01And look at this.
21:02Double J trying to find the counter, trying to find the escape here.
21:06Nice reversal.
21:07Nicely done.
21:08The Hammer Lock.
21:09And another reversal.
21:11It's not too likely, however, that Virgil will out-wrestle, out-maneuver Double J.
21:15This man is a most accomplished athlete when it comes to the techniques of professional wrestling.
21:23Oh, my.
21:24What an elbow right and a kisser.
21:25Off the rope.
21:26Double J now.
21:27Shoulder block.
21:28Off the rope over Virgil.
21:29Coming off the rope.
21:30Double J leaping over Virgil.
21:31Coming back off the rope.
21:32Nice drop to hold.
21:34I'm impressed with Virgil.
21:36Double J just biding his time, McMahon.
21:39Double J claiming him a pull in the tights.
21:42I'll tell you what.
21:43Double J will do some complaining.
21:44That is for sure.
21:46We've just been handed a note here.
21:47Wait a minute.
21:48What's this?
21:49We have another celebrity at WrestleMania 10.
21:51Another official timekeeper.
21:53Ronda Shearer from up all night.
21:56From right here on USA is going to join us at WrestleMania 10.
22:02Isn't that Shawn Michaels' friend, McMahon?
22:04I don't know.
22:06I think they were together some six months ago, but I believe she dropped Shawn Michaels.
22:10Much like Razor is going to drop him off the ladder.
22:12Look at that.
22:13Hey, how about that?
22:15Yes.
22:16We can have an upset here.
22:17Get him up, Virgil.
22:18Pull in.
22:19Almost a count of three.
22:20Not enough.
22:22Virgil on track.
22:23Take that on Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
22:26And again, Double J complaining to the official.
22:29Double J complains more than White House Communications Director, George Stephanopoulos.
22:36Man, it's Stephanopoulos.
22:40Easy for both of us to say.
22:42Exactly.
22:43Oh, my.
22:44Driving a knee.
22:46I believe the correct pronunciation is Stephanopoulos.
22:51I'm not even too sure about that.
22:53What's this note you've been handed?
22:56It says here, Wednesday.
22:58She thinks he's innocent of murder, but what if she's wrong?
23:01Rutger Howell and Natasha Richardson star in Past Midnight, a USA World Premiere Movie Encore.
23:08Wednesday night at 9, 8 Central.
23:10Ted DiBiase reading a promo for USA.
23:14How much did they pay you to do that?
23:16Everybody's got a price, McMahon.
23:19I guess so.
23:20You know I don't come cheap.
23:22Virgil now winding up Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
23:25Speaking of cheap.
23:27Speaking of USA, as Double J reaches for the rope and can't quite make it.
23:32Again, remind you, ladies and gentlemen, this Sunday night, you don't want to miss a very special
23:38March to WrestleMania.
23:40It's the March to WrestleMania, not WrestleMania itself.
23:43That's the following Sunday, of course.
23:45But this Sunday night, 7 o'clock Eastern.
23:48USA, listen to this lineup, Ted DiBiase.
23:51We already know about Crush going up against Bret.
23:54How about this?
23:56Tatanka against Yokozuna.
23:58Oh, drop toe there by Double J.
24:01Oh, missing with the elbow.
24:03Virgil has a fire this week.
24:04Once again, winding up Double J.
24:06In addition to Tatanka against Yokozuna.
24:10Non-title this Sunday as well.
24:12Lex Luger meets one of Jim Cornette's heavenly bodies, the gigolo Jimmy Del Rey.
24:19Look at this.
24:21And again, Double J making a mistake.
24:23You don't want to mix it up with Virgil when it comes to the fist.
24:26Double J for the ride.
24:28No, reversal.
24:30Nice maneuver by Virgil.
24:31And, oh, my.
24:33Reverse.
24:35Hull driver.
24:37Cheap shot.
24:39All right, Virgil's going to set him up now.
24:41This could be it.
24:43Missing it around outside.
24:45Yes, Virgil with Double J.
24:47Jeff Jarrett off the rope in a back body.
24:49No, wait a minute.
24:51No.
24:53What a devastating DDT in this one's history.
24:55Just like that, he turned it around.
24:57What did I say, big man?
24:59This man's extremely talented.
25:01I'm inclined to agree with you, unfortunately.
25:05Double J, Jeff Jarrett may be going to the top of the WWF,
25:09but can he sing?
25:11Will he go to the top in Nashville, Tennessee, Music City, USA?
25:16Yokozuna.
25:18As he heads to WrestleMania,
25:20the mammoth WWF champion fears no man in the World Wrestling Federation.
25:25Tatanka.
25:27When his undefeated streak came to an end,
25:28the 600-pound champion added insult to injury.
25:32Memories die hard, but revenge can ease the pain.
25:36Before his date with destiny,
25:38Yokozuna must first survive the grueling march to WrestleMania X,
25:43a two-hour special this Sunday on USA.
25:46What a matchup that's going to be this Sunday, ladies and gentlemen.
25:50Tatanka scoring off against Yokozuna.
25:52It is the March to WrestleMania exclusively on USA,
25:55a two-hour jam-packed special.
25:56You don't seem too excited
25:58that the Native American is going to be on hand.
26:00Big man, nothing about Tatanka excites me,
26:03but I'll tell you what does excite me.
26:05This excites me.
26:07Take a look who's on the cover of Country Beat magazine.
26:09That's right, Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
26:11That's right.
26:13What's it say right there, McMahon?
26:15He's the hottest star in country music.
26:17What do you think about that?
26:19I think I know a little something about this magazine.
26:22I think maybe you and Double J, Jeff Jarrett
26:24are in on a little fraud.
26:26What are you trying to say, McMahon?
26:28Right, exactly.
26:30What I'm trying to say is, wait a minute,
26:32I've got something here for you.
26:34What I'm trying to say is the joke, Ted DiBiase, is on you.
26:36On you, McMahon.
26:38That's an improvement.
26:40We'll be back with Doink Dink Vincent Ted.
26:43Stay with us.
26:54I'm Ty Sperling, the president of the Hair Club for Men,
26:56and the official hair consultant for WrestleMania X.
26:59I've been helping men look better for many, many years.
27:02Why, I think I can even help Mr. Fuji.
27:04Here's a look at Mr. Fuji before,
27:07and here's a look at Mr. Fuji after he has received
27:10the special attention that only the Hair Club for Men can give you.
27:13Speaking of special attention,
27:15that's what you will get if you watch WrestleMania X
27:18on pay-per-view.
27:20Ty Sperling, no doubt, is going to have some fun
27:22and, by the way, Ty Sperling,
27:24the official hair consultant for WrestleMania,
27:26will try and do a complete makeover
27:28for Howard Finkle.
27:30Howard Finkle will look like a movie star.
27:32Maybe even look like Doink or Dink.
27:34I'd be glad to see that, McMahon.
27:36Promotional consideration paid for by the following.
27:52I always like to keep my favorite snack handy.
27:57Need a little excitement?
27:59Step into a Slim Jim. Oh, yeah!
28:03We're back with Monday Night Raw,
28:05and Doink in there. Wait a minute.
28:07Oh, my goodness. How about that?
28:09The WWF has its own version of Whitewater.
28:12And Mike Sharp is trying to catch Dink.
28:15Sharp. Uh-oh.
28:17He better put on brakes.
28:19Doink quickly going behind him now,
28:20reaching for the ropes.
28:22Out to the outside, out on the apron.
28:24What's going to happen now?
28:26Anything can happen in the WWF.
28:28Doink and Dink headed to WrestleMania
28:30to compete in a tag team match-up.
28:32We call it a mixed tag team
28:34because Doink and Dink will be meeting
28:36Bam Bam Bigelow and Bam Bam's manager,
28:39Luna Vachon.
28:41What a match that's going to be,
28:43a first ever for WrestleMania.
28:45What kind of rules are you going to have
28:47in that match?
28:48The rules are a little different
28:50because obviously the only time
28:52Doink is going to be allowed in the ring
28:54is when Bam Bam is in there,
28:56and the only time Dink is going to be allowed
28:58in the ring, conversely,
29:00is when Luna Vachon is in there.
29:02So, therefore, the adherence of the rules,
29:04well, obviously of paramount importance
29:06in this match.
29:08Well, what if Bam Bam decides
29:10he wants to get in the ring with Dink?
29:12Who's going to stop him?
29:14Hopefully, the official will stop him,
29:16just like Iron Mike Sharp put on the brakes there
29:18to stop him.
29:20And I doubt Bam Bam's going to be
29:22too smart for a minute.
29:24Series of arm drag takedowns by Doink,
29:26and Iron Mike Sharp is out of here.
29:28Look at Doink and Dink.
29:30The antics and tactics they have pulled
29:33on Bam Bam and Luna,
29:35I must say, have been hilarious.
29:37Hopefully, however,
29:39there will be a bit of a levity
29:41in that tag match because, yes,
29:43it would be a disaster
29:45if in fact Bam Bam in any way,
29:46either accidentally or on purpose,
29:48got into the ring with Dink.
29:50That could unquestionably be a disaster.
29:52That would be no laughing matter.
29:54Nor is it right now because
29:56Iron Mike Sharp finally has taken control.
29:58However, Sharp making a classic error here.
30:01He should be on top of Dink.
30:03Bam Bam Bigelow won't be waiting around,
30:05I assure you, at WrestleMania.
30:07Bam Bam an extraordinary competitor,
30:09and then again, so is Dink.
30:11But if Bam Bam decides
30:13to accidentally get his hands on Dink,
30:16McMahon, I think Dink
30:18is going to have a new name.
30:20A new name.
30:22Right. Spot.
30:25Or maybe Splat.
30:28From the top rope,
30:30it's Doink now and Doink down
30:32across the chest.
30:34Two and yet
30:36a victory for Doink and Dink.
30:39Will they be victorious
30:41at WrestleMania?
30:43You might find out the prediction
30:44on the WrestleMania hotline.
30:49We're back, ladies and gentlemen,
30:51with our Monday Night Raw.
30:58Would you please welcome,
31:00ladies and gentlemen,
31:02the chief of the Lumbee Nation,
31:04Chief Ray Little Turtle.
31:09And how about a hand
31:11for two of the all-time greats
31:12to ever step into
31:14the squared circle,
31:16Chief Jay Strongbow,
31:18Chief Michael McDaniel.
31:24However, tonight,
31:26ladies and gentlemen,
31:28we honor another great
31:30WWF superstar.
31:32Give it up, if you would,
31:34for the Native American,
31:36T'Chaka.
31:38Oh, no, not another one
31:40of these presentations.
31:42Nancy Kerrigan's presentation
31:44yesterday in her hometown
31:46of Stoneham, Massachusetts.
31:48All she could do was cry.
31:50Why me? Why me?
31:56Look at all those feathers.
31:58The last time I saw
32:00that many feathers,
32:02Frank Purdue himself was
32:04giving me a tour of his
32:06ticket factory down in
32:08Salisbury, Maryland.
32:10And Chief Ray Little Turtle,
32:12T'Chaka,
32:14I've come many miles.
32:16On behalf of the young
32:18people of your nation,
32:20your fellow tribesmen,
32:22I bring with me
32:24some sacred feathers
32:26that is hung many, many moons
32:28in the lodge.
32:31The young people have voted
32:33to give you these feathers
32:35because you are a role model
32:37for the Lumbee-Chirral young people
32:39and the young people
32:40of Native origin
32:42across the United States.
32:44So with these feathers,
32:46you take them,
32:48respect the great feathers
32:50of Native Americans.
32:52Go, and as you work,
32:54always remember who you are
32:56and who you represent.
32:58Because we are
33:00the indigenous people
33:02of this land.
33:04And there's honor
33:06that can be brought
33:08from these feathers.
33:10From the tribe
33:12and the young people,
33:14I give them to your custody.
33:16CHEERS
33:24T'Chaka, perhaps,
33:26perhaps a few words?
33:28Chief Ray Little Turtle,
33:30I do not have the words
33:32to thank you.
33:34All I have is tears in my eyes.
33:36I remember
33:38when I was a young kid
33:40on my reservation,
33:42I used to play by the lodge.
33:44And when the ancestors
33:46used to allow me to go in,
33:48I used to see these feathers
33:50hanging in the lodge.
33:52And I used to see
33:54many, many years
33:56of tradition
33:58and think of the generations
34:00that it was handed down.
34:02And it bestows me
34:04that the young children
34:06of my tribe
34:08have voted
34:09to give me
34:11these sacred feathers.
34:13Now these feathers
34:15are here in my hands.
34:17And it just bestows me,
34:19I can't tell you.
34:21What's even greater than that,
34:23I am standing
34:25in the Squared Circle
34:27with two of the greatest
34:29Native American predecessors
34:31to ever step into
34:33the Squared Circle.
34:35CHEERS
34:40Chief J. Strongbow.
34:44And Chief Wahoo McDaniels.
34:48I remember
34:50when I first started this business,
34:52Chief Wahoo McDaniels
34:54would allow me
34:56to be his tag team partner
34:58and would teach me
35:00how to become a better wrestler.
35:02And Chief J. Strongbow,
35:04I cannot tell you,
35:06I cannot tell you
35:07how much you mean to me.
35:09Because ever since I came
35:11to the World Wrestling Federation,
35:13you have nursed me
35:15and taught me the way
35:17to become better
35:19and to stand where I am today
35:21and to keep the faith
35:23as a Native American.
35:25CHEERS
35:27J. Strongbow.
35:29I beg your pardon.
35:31And I vow
35:33as I stand in this Squared Circle
35:35which sits on the Mother Earth
35:37that my braves and my warriors
35:39fought on,
35:41that I will keep the tradition
35:43of the Native Americans
35:45high in honor
35:47and I will wear these sacred feathers
35:49with pride
35:51and hopefully one day
35:53I will reach to the heights
35:55to where the proud Eagle Sores High
35:57where Chief J. Strongbow
35:59and Chief Wahoo McDaniels
36:01have been.
36:03CHEERS
36:05Alright, thank you very much.
36:07Any other comments?
36:09All I can say is that
36:11Katanka, I'm just
36:13proud
36:15to be part
36:17of your career.
36:19And, uh,
36:21Wahoo McDaniel, please, Chief.
36:23Well, you know now you represent
36:25all Native Americans
36:27especially those young Indian boys.
36:29And I know you're going to become
36:31a great wrestler
36:33full steam ahead, brother.
36:35Alright!
36:37Here's to Don the War Bonnet!
36:39CHEERS
36:44Well,
36:46will you help me
36:48to put this sacred headdress on?
36:50CHEERS
37:04CHEERS
37:08Heeee!
37:10CHEERS
37:12Ladies and gentlemen,
37:14Katanka!
37:16CHEERS
37:21CHEERS
37:25Oh, brother.
37:27I knew it!
37:29I knew it!
37:31I can't believe it!
37:33Just like Nancy Kerrigan
37:35all this guy can do
37:37next, a guy just like me, who knows the value of a dollar.
37:41Oh, what a nice ceremony, Tatanka.
37:48You should be real proud.
37:51But I'm gonna tell you what.
37:53You're no better than the rest of these tax cheats right here.
37:56As a matter of fact, Tatanka, you owe a gift tax on that headdress.
38:03And you can be guaranteed of one thing.
38:06IRS is gonna make sure you pay every cent that you owe.
38:12Now, that's a pleasant thought.
38:14From Washington, D.C., weighing 200 million pounds.
38:16I'll tell you what, there's no telling what that headdress is worth to
38:20the Native American, Tatanka, as well as his tribesmen.
38:24I don't think it's worth anything, McMahon.
38:26It's just a bunch of chicken feathers.
38:28Irwin R.
38:29Shyster, ladies and gentlemen, getting ready to lock up with Mark Thomas.
38:33And IRS certainly, uh-oh, stands for I Really Steak.
38:37Boy, I'll say it does.
38:38He's killing me this year.
38:40Yeah, I bet Darryl Strawberry would agree with that, as well.
38:42IRS does steak.
38:45By the way, talking about Major League Baseball, Marge Schott.
38:48She made her first on-field appearance since serving a one-year suspension.
38:52And, well, Marge wanted to celebrate.
38:55She wanted to celebrate not only her return, but the birthday of her dog,
38:59Shotzi.
39:01However, manager of the Pirates, Jim Leland,
39:04said, I ain't singing happy birthday to no dog.
39:09Well, I'll tell you what, if I gave him enough money, McMahon,
39:11I could get him to bark like a dog.
39:13Oh, really?
39:14Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
39:16IRS having a few problems here.
39:21Mark Thomas.
39:23What a competitor, IRS, now with Thomas, and Thomas to the buckle.
39:28And yet more baseball news, ladies and gentlemen.
39:31Apparently, Bernie Nussbaum, former White House counsel,
39:36recently resigning, of course, apparently
39:38is a candidate to become the new commissioner of baseball.
39:41How about that?
39:42How about that?
39:43I'll tell you who I would nominate as the commissioner for baseball
39:46if he doesn't make it as a player.
39:47That's Michael Jordan, McMahon.
39:50Michael Jordan.
39:51Why would you nominate Michael Jordan as a commissioner of baseball?
39:54Fellow millionaire.
39:55Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
39:57I see.
39:58And in your view, money talks, huh?
40:00Exactly.
40:02Erwin R. Shyster with Thomas.
40:05Oh, my, Thomas in the buckle, so did Erwin.
40:08Thomas scoops him up.
40:09Getting him over, one, two, and oh, my, that was close.
40:12I got a lot more to beat my man, Erwin R. Shyster.
40:16There's a man from my own heart, a great man, good business partner.
40:21I don't know if you know that, McMahon, but we are still, still
40:23very close in the business world.
40:26Really?
40:26He may be after your heart, but as you said before,
40:29he may also be after your wallet.
40:31Erwin R. Shyster, and he does not like this chant of Erwin.
40:36I can tell you that right now.
40:39Thomas, oh, my.
40:40Thomas is taking a drug.
40:42You know you talk about the great technical wrestlers in the WWF.
40:45Many of you don't know it, but Erwin is one of them.
40:47I mean, you don't often see his technique displayed,
40:50and we're certainly not seeing it tonight on Monday Night Raw.
40:52Oh, wait a minute, there's some.
40:54Of course he's a great technical wrestler.
40:55I taught him everything.
40:57Look at this, hanging under the rope.
40:59I mean, give me a break.
41:01Like I said, I taught him everything I know.
41:02Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
41:04Erwin has a lot of guts talking about tax cheats,
41:07when he himself cheats every opportunity he
41:09has when he's in a squared circle.
41:12Whatever it takes, McMahon, whatever it takes.
41:16To the canvas, Thomas having big problems with IRS.
41:22As does anybody who faces IRS.
41:27Talk about facing, certainly.
41:29Made in the USA, Lex Luger, who could very well
41:32be at the end of WrestleMania, the next WWF champion.
41:35This coming Sunday night, Lex Luger goes one-on-one
41:38with one of the heavenly bodies, the gigolo Jimmy Del Rey.
41:42Of course, managed by Jim Cornette,
41:44who was also the official American spokesperson
41:47for the reigning WWF champion, Yokozuna.
41:51Come on.
41:52Erwin still hanging under the rope.
41:56Why cheat?
41:58Why not?
42:01The fastest qualification.
42:04The fastest way of getting there.
42:05Oh, really?
42:06They don't ask you who.
42:07They just want to know how.
42:08There's a price to pay for cheating, Mr. DiBiase.
42:12There's a price for everything, McMahon.
42:13Oh!
42:14I'm not talking about money.
42:17Erwin now covering Thomas.
42:18Is that enough to put him away?
42:20Yes!
42:21How about that?
42:21Like I said, McMahon, one of the very best.
42:25The sweat profusely pouring off the kisser of Erwin R. Scherzter.
42:34Lex Luger.
42:35Against all odds, this proud American
42:37has earned a second title shot at WrestleMania X.
42:41Jimmy Del Rey, this ruthless renegade managed by Jim Cornette,
42:46has one goal, put an early end to Luger's championship dreams.
42:51Before his date with destiny, Lex Luger
42:54must first survive the grueling march to WrestleMania X.
42:58A two-hour special, this Sunday on USA.
43:01What a matchup that's going to be, ladies and gentlemen.
43:04Next week, Lex Luger, made in the USA.
43:06Wait a minute, look at this.
43:08Here comes Jim Cornette, and the man Luger
43:10is going to face the gigolo Jimmy Del Rey.
43:14We'll be back with a word with Jim Cornette and the gigolo
43:18when we return.
43:20Ladies and gentlemen, Jim Cornette, manager of Yokozuna,
43:23manager of the Heavenly Bodies.
43:25And unquestionably, you know exactly what you're up to.
43:28Because this Sunday, one-on-one, it's Jimmy Del Rey.
43:33The gigolo.
43:34The gigolo, one of your Heavenly Bodies.
43:36Oh, my goodness.
43:37One of your Heavenly Bodies squaring off against,
43:40made in the USA, Lex Luger.
43:45That's exactly the kind of reaction I thought Lex Luger was going to get.
43:48Let me tell you, the last thing that I bought that was made in the USA
43:52was a Ford car, and the fuel pump fell off
43:55before I got it off the lot.
43:57It didn't get but 15 miles to the gallon,
44:00and it fell off.
44:01It was a lemon, as a matter of fact.
44:02But when I got something that was made in Japan, brother,
44:05a nice Toyota, it's got 147,000 miles on it,
44:09and it runs like a top.
44:11So Lex Luger, you know exactly what this is all about.
44:15You know exactly what this is all about, the gigolo Jimmy Del Rey.
44:20It's not a win or lose situation.
44:21We don't care that we win or lose, or how we play the game.
44:25It's a search and destroy mission.
44:27And Jimmy Del Rey's mission is to make you a busted up, broken man by the time
44:33that WrestleMania rolls around.
44:35Speaking of WrestleMania, everybody seems to be taking some things for granted.
44:39But let me tell you something, Luger.
44:41You ain't going no farther than the great Yokozuna,
44:45because the first time that the World Wrestling Federation
44:49title is on the line, the day of WrestleMania
44:52will be your last match, because Yokozuna is going to drop on you
44:56and finish you off.
44:57And then, like I said, this Sunday, Jimmy Del Rey and Lex Luger.
45:02Luger, he's going to hit you from so many different directions,
45:05you're going to think that you're caught in a pinball machine,
45:08and he just got an extra ball.
45:10All right, ladies and gentlemen, Jim Cornette, the Heavenly Bodies.
45:13And yes, this Sunday, one-on-one, Lex Luger against the Gigolo.
45:18Yeah!
