00:05Jerry The King Lawler presents,
00:10in his King's Court, his special guest,
00:16Nikolai Volkov.
00:18Welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw.
00:23I'm your host, Jerry The King Lawler.
00:28And you're listening to Monday Night Raw.
00:33And you're listening to Monday Night Raw.
00:38What is this, the Price is Right?
00:41In that case, Nikolai Volkov, come on down.
00:47Welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw.
00:49Vince McMahon, along with the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
00:51yes, The Price is Right, for action here tonight.
00:53How about this, one on one,
00:55Double J against the reigning Intercontinental Champion, Razor Ramon.
01:00Razor Ramon, later on this weekend,
01:02will be putting the title actually on the line against the seven foot Diesel.
01:07Forget about this weekend.
01:09Concentrate on tonight for the Double J beats Razor Ramon.
01:15Double J's gonna be the hottest thing in Music City since Clark Brooks.
01:19All right, with that in mind, here we go.
01:22Ladies and gentlemen, this non-title contest is scheduled for
01:28one fall, approaching the ring from Music City.
01:32Yeah, it's a non-title matchup, all right, but
01:36if that man right there can defeat Razor Ramon.
01:41Yes, Randy Savage, you can bet Double J's gonna be strutting his stuff on
01:45the Grand Ole Opry.
01:47He's gonna be the guest on Music City tonight,
01:51tomorrow night, if he gets a victory here tonight.
01:54Absolutely, and country music's watching him now.
01:56Billy Ray Cyrus, Clint Black, Hank Williams Jr.,
02:00Jorns Jones, and Travis Tritt.
02:02Eat your hearts out, this is Double J, and enjoy the light show.
02:05Look at this, huh?
02:06Look at this.
02:07How about that strut?
02:09Double J, Jeff Jarrett, spends his spare time watching reruns of Hee Haw.
02:15Look at the light show, my goodness.
02:17And by the way, imagine who his favorite entertainer was on Hee Haw.
02:21It wasn't Roy Clark.
02:23It wasn't even Buck Owens.
02:24It was Junior.
02:25Well, wait just a minute, however.
02:30Look who's headed to town.
02:31Yeah, the bad guy himself, look at this.
02:38Losing not cheese, no.
02:41From the streets of Miami, this is the Intercontinental Champion.
02:46And is he ever looking good, Razor Ramon.
02:49Again, Double J, Jeff Jarrett, the same Razor Ramon as we outlined earlier on,
02:54who will put the championship on the line this coming weekend against a 7-foot Diesel.
03:00This guy has been very, very busy.
03:03The opposite of a closet champion, Razor Ramon is ready.
03:08Razor Ramon against Double J.
03:11What kind of matchup can we expect here to kick things off on Monday Night Raw,
03:15Macho?
03:15Well, I'm excited about this one.
03:17I call this a momentum match.
03:18Yeah, it's not for the title, but Razor Ramon's going to have a busy weekend.
03:23And this is Double J's big chance to get on the map.
03:26He has been a fighting champion, as a matter of fact, just this past weekend,
03:31defeating Adam Bomb, giving Adam Bomb the razor's edge.
03:35You can bet Double J was watching that match as it was going on.
03:39And I'll bet you a dollar to a donut that Shawn Michaels and
03:42Diesel are watching this one.
03:46No doubt about it, Shawn Michaels, a chorus against Razor Ramon in that ladder
03:50match at WrestleMania, one of the all-time great matches.
03:53Nonetheless, Batman now wearing the gold, the Undisputed Champion.
03:57Let's listen in.
04:01Yeah.
04:02He gave me chills up and down my spine, and
04:03I don't even have the responsibility of taking it back.
04:06And that man right there would like to take a victory from Razor Ramon.
04:11Check this out, Double J's giving him a buck, buck, buck.
04:13He thinks he's a chicken.
04:15He's telling him right now, a guy eating an Espanola.
04:19Yeah. That was a mistake.
04:21Double J resembles Frank Perdue a bit, Fish.
04:23Look at, what was that?
04:24That was an act of generosity on Razor Ramon's part.
04:27He was sharing his toothpick with Double J, but
04:29I don't think that's a good idea, because this is the 90s.
04:32Good point.
04:33Double J quickly behind the bad guy.
04:35A reversal.
04:37Trying to hook the elbow.
04:38Double J finding an escape, and yes, nice reversal there again.
04:41And a nice takedown.
04:42Give him a couple of puns.
04:43A triple switcheroo, and
04:45that was more of an intimidating thing than anything else.
04:49Uh-huh.
04:50He did it just to show him that he could.
04:52All right, that's all well intended.
04:54But now, let's see what happens.
04:57I'm looking up.
05:01And locking back up, knee to the midsection there.
05:03Razor Ramon whipped into the buckle.
05:06More aggressive styles now, however.
05:07Reversal there.
05:08Double J, no, look at this.
05:09Double J puts on brakes.
05:10Double J with an arm drag.
05:12Nicely done.
05:13And Double J trying to show his stuff and
05:16strut his stuff here and doing just that against Razor Ramon.
05:20Expect the unexpected.
05:21I'm thinking that this is the way it's gonna be in this match.
05:25Well, now, where is Razor Ramon's head?
05:26Is he thinking about Diesel?
05:28Is he thinking about the title defense upcoming this weekend?
05:31Yes, all of those things.
05:33Well, he can't think through this, man.
05:36My goodness, Double J, or is Jared just that good?
05:39Coming off the rope.
05:41Look at that, missing with the roundhouse.
05:42Right back now, he's in the clutches of Razor Ramon.
05:46And Ramon, with a beautiful maneuver.
05:49One of Razor Ramon's signature moves that he has.
05:53Matter of fact, let's go back to a double feature here.
05:56Look at this, Ramon missing with a roundhouse.
05:58Right back in the clutches, and Double J is gonna bite the dust.
06:03You know, I can't believe this is happening.
06:05I thought I had double vision, but it's only a double feature.
06:08This is my new favorite part of Raw.
06:11And on the outside right now, Double J mixing it up.
06:14Thus far, I think Double J is doing exceedingly well for himself against Razor Ramon.
06:18There's no doubt about that.
06:20Monday Night Raw brings out the best in everybody.
06:22What's wrong with you today, Vince?
06:24Oh, no, I'm there, Double J.
06:26Look, oh, you don't wanna do this with Razor Ramon.
06:28You start trading punches with a bad guy.
06:30You wanna mix it up in a rough house fashion, and you're gonna go down.
06:34That's what he does best.
06:35Look at that.
06:35Streets of Miami are smiling on Razor Ramon right now.
06:39And Double J is taking a hiatus.
06:42He's taking a what?
06:43A hiatus.
06:44That's kinda like a hiatus, but only a little different.
06:47It's the same family.
06:49On the outside again.
06:51Goodness, right into the step.
06:53He introduced him to the step.
06:54Wasn't that nice of Double J?
06:56Down goes Razor Ramon.
06:58And Double J, Jeff Jarrett, proving he can mix it up as well, just like the bad guy can.
07:02What if Double J takes Razor Ramon right here on Monday Night Raw?
07:05What will that do to Razor versus Diesel?
07:08Well, it won't do anything except, and
07:10obviously, Razor won't have much momentum in his title defense.
07:13However, it'll catapult Double J to the top of the Nashville Network.
07:18Off the rope now, elbow, and down goes Razor Ramon.
07:21Caught him right under the chin.
07:23One, two, no.
07:25Psychologically, this is one of the biggest matches I've seen right now.
07:29Right here on Monday Night Raw, Double J, Razor Ramon, and Razor snapped over.
07:35Double J taking it to the bad guy this week.
07:37What a surprising matchup.
07:39Don't ask him, just do it.
07:42We're talking action.
07:43Action all over, cover, two, and my goodness.
07:46You don't think any of us have been the same since that double feature.
07:50Well, I'll tell you what, this certainly isn't.
07:52Evander Holyfield against Mike Lamar, that's for sure.
07:55You're right about that, but let me tell you who the real boxing champion is.
07:58He's the guy behind the microphone.
08:00George Foreman, brother, light a fire under it one more time.
08:04I'm the master and the president of the fan club, yeah.
08:08No doubt, speaking of this past weekend's heavyweight championship fight.
08:14As far as the combatants are concerned, I'll agree with you.
08:17If George would step from behind that microphone,
08:19perhaps he could have lit both men the very same night.
08:22Exactly, I feel that way.
08:24We're agreeing on something, Vince McMahon.
08:26George Foreman's probably watching right now.
08:29Good luck to you, brother.
08:30Do it again.
08:31However, speaking of championships, yes, Razor Ramon must be thinking,
08:36oh my goodness, what have I done here?
08:38I took on Adam Bond this past weekend.
08:41I'm taking on Double J now.
08:42I've got the seven foot diesel this coming weekend.
08:45My goodness, maybe I bit off a little bit too much.
08:49Look at this now.
08:50Big setup, coming back, back, back, no, no, not again.
08:55It's what a matchup this is.
08:57Razor Ramon over the hip.
08:58Razor trying to get Double J's shoulders down in the mat and one, two, my.
09:04I need to go take a shower, I'm sweating, this is unbelievable.
09:07It is, what a matchup.
09:09These two have really kicked it into high gear all the way through.
09:13What action on Monday Night Raw, the non-title matchup.
09:17Razor versus Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
09:20The stallion from Miami is gonna have to do something real quick.
09:24Sleeper hold.
09:25Double J riding Razor Ramon.
09:29And Razor is gonna have problems trying to reach for the rope.
09:33He may be seeing double, he may be seeing triple.
09:36Razor in trouble, in big time trouble.
09:39Check his eyes, who would have thunk it?
09:43Could it happen that Double J is gonna put the bad guy to sleep?
09:47Razor coming closer and closer to that rope.
09:50Razor Ramon, don't go night-night, brother, get that rope.
09:53Come on, brother.
09:54And thus far, this matchup has been just that, a nightmare for Razor Ramon.
09:59That's how good Double J is.
10:01Double J really proving his merit here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
10:05Absolutely, and Razor Ramon right now, he's going on two cylinders, and
10:10he's fading fast.
10:12Look at that.
10:13Listen to these fans, but can Razor hear them?
10:20Double J, Jeff Jarrett is gonna make history here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
10:25How embarrassing for Razor Ramon right now.
10:28This has gotta be the worst nightmare that the man from Miami could ever hear.
10:32It's one thing to be defeated, or another to even submit.
10:36But to be put to sleep on Monday Night Raw,
10:39just prior to defeating a championship, my.
10:42He's out of it right now.
10:42That's humiliation.
10:44Razor Ramon is out of it right now.
10:47Get him a pillow and a blanket.
10:48He's almost asleep.
10:50Wait a minute, the official trying to talk to Razor to see if he's still coherent.
10:55And Razor, wait a minute, if that happens.
10:59Two more times.
11:00Then the match officially over.
11:02Double J.
11:03I can't look.
11:04Double J has put Razor Ramon to sleep.
11:08No, no, no, not yet, not yet.
11:11I have never, ever, ever, ever seen this before.
11:16Somehow, the blood is pumping through those veins.
11:20Razor Ramon, look at this, unbelievable tenacity.
11:25He's not out of trouble yet, brother.
11:27And Double J suplex.
11:29Got him, look at that, what a maneuver.
11:31Guys, out right now, look at this.
11:34One, two, yo, no.
11:36A sense of where you are.
11:38He ought to write a book inside of Razor Ramon.
11:42Razor Ramon with a desperation tactic after almost being put to sleep by Double J.
11:48Off the rope now, a kick in the midsection.
11:51Razor Ramon trying to get himself together.
11:54A block, a heart right.
11:57Double J has rocked.
11:58Another block, another heart right.
12:00Look at that.
12:01The head of Double J snapping back and, my goodness.
12:05Who throws a better punch than Razor Ramon?
12:07I don't think anybody does.
12:10Razor Ramon, now what's up?
12:12No, wait, look at that.
12:14Double J so crafty.
12:16Boy, I'll tell you, this has been a seesaw matchup.
12:19What action here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
12:21Shawn Michaels.
12:22What?
12:23Shawn Michaels is in the building.
12:25Wait a minute.
12:26Yes, there he is.
12:27What is Michaels doing coming down the ringside?
12:30He has no business down here.
12:32Michaels week after week has been issuing a challenge to Razor Ramon on behalf of
12:36the seven-foot Diesel.
12:38Get out of here.
12:40Look at this.
12:41What is Michaels doing?
12:43A verbal barrage being hurled at Razor Ramon.
12:48Ramon has enough problems inside the ring,
12:51much less has to deal with something outside.
12:53Yeah.
12:54Oh, and a right hand.
12:55Sistin, you're beautiful.
12:58Look out from behind.
12:59Razor Ramon, pint of the fist to the midsection.
13:02Razor now with Double J to the step.
13:05Razor with Double J and Shawn Michaels.
13:08Look at this.
13:08Right back in now for action.
13:10The match continues.
13:11The one-man gang, Razor Ramon.
13:13A hard right hand.
13:14Double J set up.
13:15Coming off the rope now and over the hip.
13:17Yes.
13:19Razor Ramon with Double J and, my.
13:25Off the rope and over the top, to the outside.
13:29Against all odds.
13:30Wait a minute, from behind Shawn Michaels.
13:32Michaels is back up on the apron.
13:33Turn around, Razor.
13:35Turn around.
13:36Uh-oh.
13:37Michaels hurled into the ring.
13:39You wanna get in?
13:40Get in.
13:42Look at this, Michaels backing up.
13:44Go ahead, Razor.
13:45Go ahead.
13:46This is what Michaels deserves.
13:49Shawn Michaels has no business interfering in this matchup.
13:52Michaels getting more of the same than he got at WrestleMania.
13:56No one should be allowed to be at ringside like this.
13:59And Michaels is paying the price.
14:00Is he ever.
14:01Look at this.
14:02Uh-oh.
14:03Here comes the Razor's Edge.
14:04Yes, here.
14:05Wait a minute.
14:05Look, there's Diesel.
14:07From behind.
14:08From, from behind.
14:10Turn around.
14:11Diesel in the, oh, no.
14:13The seven foot monster.
14:15The referee has stopped the match.
14:18The referee is disqualified.
14:20Double J because of this outside interference.
14:23But look who's paying the price just before defending the title
14:26this coming weekend against Diesel.
14:28Look at this, an obvious plot has hatched here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
14:32No, not the Jackknife.
14:33No.
14:34What a devastating maneuver right there.
14:36What a message he just gave Razor Ramon.
14:39Hot crash for Diesel and Shawn Michaels are trying to soften up Razor Ramon.
14:45And finally, the official is coming there to try and stop this carnage.
14:48Look at this.
14:49He's going to give him another one.
14:50No, no, no, no.
14:51Another Jackknife.
14:54And Michaels, oh, look at this.
14:56Is he enjoying this moment or what?
14:58Looks like a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader to me.
15:01Oh, wait a minute.
15:02You better not.
15:02Look at this.
15:03What's he saying?
15:05He's probably telling him about the title match coming up.
15:07I'll guarantee you.
15:10A monster, seven foot Diesel, well over the 300 pound mark
15:15will face Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental Championship
15:19this weekend.
15:21Oh, look.
15:21Wait a minute.
15:22He's standing on him.
15:24That's over 300 pounds standing on the sternum of Razor Ramon.
15:27A picture's worth a thousand words.
15:30Look at this.
15:31What's he doing?
15:33Shawn Michaels, who used to be the possessor of that very same belt.
15:39Look at the humiliation.
15:42Diesel dumps the belt down on Razor Ramon.
15:45Michaels stands on top of Razor.
15:48What's going on?
15:49To say the least, Razor Ramon does not deserve this.
15:55Diesel against Razor Ramon.
15:57And you have to wonder what kind of condition
16:00will Razor Ramon be in this coming weekend when he defends
16:03the title against the seven foot Diesel.
16:06You want to bring a party down, invite these two guys.
16:11And Michaels, very proud of himself.
16:16Yeah, with your help, look at this monster.
16:21And look, unfortunately, I can't even look.
16:24And the effect.
16:26We'll be back with more action.
16:28Stay with us.
16:31Welcome back, everyone.
16:31More Monday Night Raw.
16:32Vince McMahon, Macho Man, Randy Savage.
16:33You saw this carnage out here earlier on with Razor Ramon.
16:36With that in mind, I believe standing by in the locker room,
16:39Shawn Michaels and Diesel.
16:40Gentlemen, what's the meaning of this?
16:42What do you mean, what's the meaning?
16:43That was the Intercontinental Champion.
16:45That piece of meat we left laying in the ring, Razor Ramon,
16:48is the Intercontinental Champion.
16:49I don't think so, McMahon.
16:51The Get It Cool is the real World Wrestling Federation
16:54Intercontinental Champion, and he is going to prove it.
16:57You've got your shot, Diesel, this weekend.
16:58Why do this tonight on Monday Night Raw?
17:01What's the meaning of it?
17:02Why not?
17:03The opportunity was there, and I seized it.
17:06Next week on Superstars, Ramon, I'm
17:10going to walk out the Intercontinental Champion.
17:13Guaranteed.
17:16All right, Randy Savage, your reaction?
17:17Razor's going to rise to the occasion.
17:19This is not the first time the bad guy from Miami
17:21has faced adversity.
17:22You just watch.
17:23He'll be lunatic, Phil, when it comes time to face Diesel.
17:27What a matchup that's going to be on WWF Superstars this weekend.
17:32And take a look at this, if you want.
17:35Luna Bashan presents Bam Bam Bigelow.
17:40Wow.
17:42Thumbs down for Bam Bam.
17:45All right, some of the members of this capacity crowd
17:48enjoying Monday Night Raw tonight.
17:51Luna Bashan, still in love, I suppose you would call it,
17:54with Bam Bam Bigelow.
17:55Unlike Amy Carter.
17:57Did you hear that Amy Carter, President Carter's daughter,
18:01postponed her wedding?
18:02You know, no, I didn't.
18:03But you know, that's kind of apropos,
18:05because did you hear that Prince Charles lost his dog, Poo?
18:09Poo, Poo, where are you?
18:11Bow wow, bark bark.
18:12I don't understand the connection.
18:15Nonetheless, I suppose this is Macho Man Randy Savage's
18:18version of the live event news.
18:20Exactly.
18:21I just thought I'd throw it in.
18:22I see, OK.
18:23You want me to throw it out?
18:24Well, right now, let's see if DeVito, DeVito thrown down.
18:30Big roar there from Bam Bam Bigelow.
18:33By the way, we're going to attempt
18:34to reach the President of the World Wrestling Federation,
18:37Jack Tunney, momentarily.
18:38Get his commentary on some of the events of tonight.
18:40Look at this.
18:41Hey, how about that?
18:42DeVito.
18:43Staggered him.
18:44And a drop kick by Bam Bam.
18:46Bam Bam, 360 pounds, up in the air.
18:48Is that unbelievable?
18:49And a cover, and a kick out by DeVito.
18:51Give DeVito credit.
18:54Luna Machon on the outside.
18:56Luna could be the next WWF Women's Champion.
18:59She could very well have her opportunity on the WrestleMania
19:02Revenge Tour, should she face Alundra Blais, the title holder.
19:07Who's better looking, Bam Bam or Luna?
19:10Your choice.
19:11Well, they make quite a tag team, that's for sure.
19:13And speaking of tag team, ladies and gentlemen,
19:15a great deal of controversy over the last several weeks
19:18as to whether or not Jack Tunney is going to force the Quebeckers
19:22to defend the Tag Team Championship against the HeadShrinkers.
19:26And we have the illustrious President of the World Wrestling Federation,
19:29Jack Tunney, with us as we speak.
19:31Mr. Tunney, are you there?
19:32Yes, I am, Bam.
19:33How are you?
19:34Well, I guess we're all right, but a little upset
19:36over some of the activities here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
19:38Nonetheless, the question is, will you
19:41force the Quebeckers to defend the Tag Team
19:43Championship against the HeadShrinkers?
19:45Will you make the Quebeckers put the titles up
19:48where their huge big mouths are?
19:51Vince, before we get into that, I'd like to let you know that I'm
19:53going to conduct a thorough investigation
19:56in the activities of Diesel, Double J, and Shawn Michaels here tonight.
20:01Well, that's an admirable call, considering
20:03what Raze Ramon went through.
20:05But speaking of champions and titles again,
20:08will you force the Quebeckers to defend the title against the HeadShrinkers?
20:12Well, Vince, after a lot of deliberation,
20:14I feel that the Quebeckers have to put up their titles against the HeadShrinkers.
20:19And that will be happening real soon.
20:21As in how soon?
20:23Next Monday night on Raw, right here on Raw.
20:25All right.
20:26Thank you very much.
20:28Look at this.
20:29A pin.
20:30Yes, indeed, for Bam Bam Bigelow.
20:32A victory for the Beast from the East, and perhaps next week,
20:36a victory for the HeadShrinkers.
20:37Next week, I get a ringside seat.
20:39I'm excited.
20:40The tag team title up for grabs on Monday Night Raw next week.
20:46Yeah.
20:48Well, you can bet the HeadShrinkers are happy,
20:49but I wouldn't suggest the Quebeckers are happy at all.
20:52If I was facing the HeadShrinkers, I wouldn't be happy either.
20:56With that in mind, standing by, let's take you right now to the Quebeckers.
21:00Gentlemen.
21:02All right, you heard Jack Taney's decision.
21:04I'm sure you would not think it's very fair.
21:06Most of us do, but let's get it straight for you.
21:09How do you feel, Johnny?
21:10How do you think we feel?
21:11That's not fair.
21:12Captain Lou Albano went there.
21:13He lobbied Jack Taney.
21:15It's not fair.
21:16It's unfair.
21:16We shouldn't have to face him.
21:18I mean, these guys were our friends, and now they want to wrestle us,
21:21and they got Captain Lou Albano.
21:22It's your fault, Albano.
21:23It's your fault.
21:24That's OK.
21:24That's OK, Johnny.
21:25Let me tell you something, HeadShrinkers.
21:27You are our friends.
21:29Not that we're afraid of you.
21:30We'll give you a title shot.
21:32We are the best team in the World Wrestling Federation,
21:35but I want to know something, Taney.
21:37Where is the justice?
21:38I want to know, where is the justice?
21:41I'll tell you where the justice is.
21:43The justice is going to be in the ring next week on Monday Night Raw.
21:48And we'll be back as we continue with the Heavenly Bodies.
21:53Hello.
21:54My name is Stanley Esposito, and I'm the mayor
21:56of the city of Stanford, Connecticut.
21:58The WWF raised $60,000 for the benefit of Stanford's Ferguson
22:04Library at a wrestling event held here in Stanford
22:07at the Terry Connors Ice Rink.
22:09The World Wrestling Federation and reading are a great match.
22:13The effect of their contribution on the Ferguson Library
22:17will have a major educational impact, not only for today,
22:20but for generations to come.
22:22The kindness, generosity, and community spirit of the World Wrestling
22:26Federation is appreciated not only by the mayor of the city of Stanford,
22:30but by all members of this community.
22:33All right.
22:34Thank you very much.
22:34Politics, however, I guess that'll lead us to Howard Stern.
22:38Howard Stern.
22:39Oh, shut up.
22:40But this guy drives you nuts.
22:42Howard Stern, ladies and gentlemen, nominated by the Libertarian Party
22:47to be governor of the state of New York.
22:49I thought it was the Animal House Party that nominated Howard Stern.
22:53Yeah, he was nominated by them, too.
22:55Nonetheless, Howard Stern for governor.
22:58In Albany, New York, turned it upside down all at one time.
23:02Look at this.
23:02The gigolo Jimmy Del Rey revoked.
23:05Look at the wings.
23:06Give me a break.
23:07Heavenly bodies.
23:09Maybe they'll fly away.
23:12John Paul Jason Headings set to lock up with Jim Cornette's Heavenly Bodies.
23:19And still to come, ladies and gentlemen, will be the king.
23:23Yeah, the Jerry the King Lawler in the King's Court.
23:25His guest, Nikolai Volkov.
23:27Kiss it goodbye.
23:29Promotional consideration paid for by the following.
23:32Welcome back, everyone, to more Monday Night Raw.
23:47And we thank you very much for tuning in this week.
23:49And by the way, speaking of tuning in, so many of you
23:52tuned in last week on Monday Night Raw.
23:54It was the highest television rating ever for Monday Night Raw.
23:58I guess there's more Macho Madness maniacs out there
24:01than you thought, Vince McMahon.
24:02Everybody's getting on the Royal Bandwagon, and the Macho Man digs it.
24:06Yeah, yeah.
24:07And speaking of success, that would take us
24:09to the domestic portion of the worldwide WrestleMania Revenge Tour,
24:13now touring all over the United States.
24:16This past weekend, out in the Cleveland, Ohio area, as well as Cincinnati,
24:21it was something, Macho Man.
24:22Let me tell you about all those people out there in the Cincinnati, Cleveland
24:25area.
24:25Yeah, their feedback is unbelievable.
24:28They said they've seen rock concerts, all kind of events.
24:31This one is an upper, upper all the way, doing it.
24:35That's for sure.
24:36And by the way, an apology is certainly in order for those fans who
24:39thought they were going to see Mr. Perfect square off against Lex Luger.
24:43Mr. Perfect backed out of the deal.
24:47Mr. Perfect was a no-show.
24:50And as a result of that, he has been indefinitely
24:52suspended for failure to fulfill his contractual obligation.
24:56Chickened out?
24:58I suppose so.
24:59Nonetheless, just when you turn around, Lex Luger
25:03has to face the awesome Kona Crush.
25:07Let me tell you something about Crush.
25:08He's bigger and badder and meaner and a better competitor
25:12than Mr. Perfect ever could be.
25:14In fact, I'm still sore from wrestling Crush.
25:17And let me tell you something, Lex Luger,
25:19we've got to get a skull session together, because Mr. Fuji and Crush,
25:23well, let me just say that I know a few things about these guys,
25:26and you need to know them.
25:28Oh, shut up!
25:31Oh, we're the greatest.
25:32You know it's true.
25:34Give me a break, Jim Cornette at ringside.
25:37And the Heavenly Body missing with the elbow.
25:39Tom Pichard having a problem the Tigers made now.
25:41And here comes a, this fella looks like a old Double J, doesn't he?
25:45A little bit.
25:45Double J look-a-like.
25:47Jason Heddings.
25:49Jason Heddings doing quite well for himself.
25:52And speaking of Double J, we're going to try and get word,
25:54ladies and gentlemen, on the condition of Razor Ramon
25:57a little bit later on.
25:58Uh-oh, look at this.
25:58Uh-oh, uh-oh, tag was made.
26:00The tag was made.
26:01Jason Heddings, oh my, can only see the gigolo come off the top rope.
26:06That was quite a maneuver.
26:09A humbling experience.
26:10Wait a minute, he could have had a three count there, I think.
26:14Jason Heddings being set up by the gigolo.
26:16Oh my goodness.
26:19I'm impressed with the skills of the Heavenly Bodies.
26:23I don't want to admit it, but it's true.
26:26And look at this, back in now.
26:28Tom Prichard, oh my goodness.
26:30Double team effort.
26:32Next week, the tag team title up.
26:34Farke grabs the number one contenders.
26:36Not the Heavenly Bodies, or at least not yet.
26:38The Head Shrinkers, the number one contenders.
26:41Will the title change hands next week?
26:44Well, I'm predicting.
26:45I don't know.
26:46But let's try to get Captain Lou Albano out here and get a word with him.
26:48What do you think?
26:49I'd like to do that very much.
26:51Uh-oh, look at this.
26:52The referee distracted here.
26:53And oh, oh, come on, look at that.
26:55Arnett brushing the teeth of this unfortunate Jason Heddings here
26:59with that toilet seat cover distracted him.
27:01Tell him to brush off.
27:04And the gigolo continuing to hammer away on Jason Heddings.
27:11Oh, that's revolting.
27:13That's the Doctor of Desire.
27:15No, that's the gigolo Jimmy Del Rey.
27:17It's all the same, as a matter of fact.
27:19But I'm glad I messed it up.
27:21And right now, Jason Heddings is getting messed up.
27:26Uh-oh, tag was made.
27:27Double team effort coming up.
27:29Come on, ref, get in there.
27:32And again, at the conclusion of this matchup,
27:34hopefully we've been trying to get word
27:36as to the condition of Razor Ramon.
27:39I mean, he was pummeled out here earlier on tonight
27:42by the 7-foot Diesel and by that pesky Shawn Michaels.
27:47Not only the physical situation with him,
27:49but what about the mental situation with him?
27:52I'd like to know what he's got to say.
27:54Psychologically, you have to wonder what kind of condition
27:57Razor Ramon is going to be in this coming weekend
28:00on Superstars when he defends the title against Diesel.
28:03Oh, look at this.
28:04Look at that maneuver, won't you?
28:07And a cover.
28:08Will this one do it?
28:08No, come on.
28:10He might challenge the winner of the head-shrinker
28:12Quebecer match next week.
28:14By the way, this week, not next week,
28:16this week is National Secretary's Week.
28:19Thought I'd let Jim Cornette know that.
28:21And look, oh my.
28:24Cornette is the manager.
28:26He is the brains behind the brawn and the secretary,
28:29treasurer, and everything else of the heavenly bodies.
28:31Uh-oh.
28:32Look.
28:33Look at this.
28:34High-risk maneuver, the gigolo from the top rope,
28:37an impressive maneuver, and the three count.
28:40All kind of action here tonight.
28:42However, when it comes to action,
28:43you ain't seen nothing yet as the expression goes
28:46until you witness the Worldwide WrestleMania Revenge Tour
28:50right here in the good old US of A.
29:02The Worldwide WrestleMania Revenge Tour is on the road
29:05and heading straight to an arena near you.
29:07Next stop, this Wednesday, April 27th,
29:10in Albany, New York at the Knickerbocker Arena.
29:12It's on to the Providence Civic Center
29:14on the 29th in Rhode Island.
29:16Then Saturday, April 30th, to the Boston Garden
29:18in Boston, Massachusetts.
29:20May 1st, we're at the Worcester Centrum in Mass.
29:23Then on May 14th, it's Arrowhead Pond, Anaheim, California.
29:27On May 15th, we invade the San Jose Arena
29:29in San Jose, California.
29:31And on to the Nassau Coliseum on the 19th in Uniondale.
29:35Catch all the excitement as the glamor and spectacle
29:37of WrestleMania comes to your town.
29:43And we're back.
29:44This is the King's Court, Jerry, the King Lawler.
29:47Notice he's not riding in on his sedan.
29:49I think I'm getting sick.
29:51To another edition of the King's Court.
29:55And ordinarily, in this royal setting,
30:00I like to have superstars from the World Wrestling Federation.
30:05He hasn't invited Roddy Piper.
30:07And he's not going to either, I predict.
30:11But this week, it's going to be something a little different.
30:16I'm going to introduce you all to a man who, right now,
30:19is about $8 shy of having $0.30.
30:23This guy used to be a superstar.
30:27But he slid down the ladder of success so fast,
30:29he got splinters in his rear end.
30:33And I'm going to tell you, he's right where he belongs.
30:36He's right out amongst all of you illiterate idiots.
30:39As a matter of fact, I think he's standing right over here.
30:44Nikolai Volkov, this is your life.
30:48Come on down, Nikolai.
30:51I bet he can't get over the barricade.
30:53Are you kidding me?
30:53We're talking about one of the most agile big men
30:56ever to grace the squared circle.
30:58And one of the powerhouses as well.
31:00And I just hope the King knows what he's doing.
31:02Who has a suit for every day of the year.
31:04And this is it.
31:06Tell me the truth.
31:07What time are you due back in the window at Woolworth's?
31:10Nikolai Volkov, now I want to say this about this man.
31:15You used to be European champion, weightlifter, wrestler,
31:24superstar.
31:25You had it all.
31:27You brought yourself up from the gutter.
31:29But I think you got homesick, didn't you?
31:33What happened to you, Nikolai?
31:35Tell me.
31:36I understand you used to live in a big mansion.
31:39And now they tell me that you live
31:40in a slum that is so filthy that the cockroaches have
31:44to get around on a dune buggy.
31:47What happened to you, Nikolai?
31:49Fall on some bad times?
31:51You want to sit down, take a load off, and tell me about it?
31:54Go ahead, have a seat, Nikolai.
31:57Sit down right there.
31:59I will tell you something that you never could do it.
32:03You could do it now, you could do it before,
32:05and you'll never be able to do it.
32:07I will tell the truth.
32:09Hey, hey.
32:11That's true.
32:12I was homesick because I just come from Europe.
32:16But I here, I'm American citizen.
32:18This is my home right here in the United States.
32:20And I'm very proud of it.
32:22Another thing is, yes, I make lots of money.
32:29But I make bad investments.
32:31And I lost lots of money.
32:33But I still have my health.
32:35And I still know how to wrestle.
32:37And I'll take you any time.
32:39Hey, wait a minute.
32:42So you made some bad investments,
32:44had a little bad business advice, is that right?
32:47Now you don't have any money?
32:49Is that what you're trying to tell all of these people
32:51out here?
32:52Well, join the club.
32:53Look at them, they don't have any money either.
32:54What are you doing up here?
32:56Are you begging for a job or what?
32:59No, man, I'm very proud, man.
33:00And I can do anything for the money
33:02because all these people here, they all have families.
33:05And I have family.
33:06Anybody who is not scared to work for the money
33:09is a good man.
33:11And what you are, did you ever have an honest day
33:13job in your life?
33:16Getting serious.
33:17That story would bring a tear to a glass eye, Nikolai.
33:20You know what?
33:22You are repulsive.
33:24Why don't you tell the truth?
33:25You are nothing but a broken down old bum.
33:28You got one filthy, dirty suit that you
33:30have to wear over and over.
33:31And you are asking, or better yet, begging for a handout.
33:35Is that right?
33:36Why don't you go ahead and get down on your knees
33:38and beg for a job?
33:39Or better yet, get out on some street corner
33:42and get yourself a sign that says, I will work for food.
33:45Because that's all you're good for.
33:46You understand that?
33:48Yeah, I understand you very much.
33:50I know where you're coming from.
33:51But where I'm coming from, we are never scared for the work.
33:55And I'm ready for it, especially for you.
33:59Well, shut up.
34:03Here he is, folks.
34:05Nikolai Volkov, former superstar.
34:09And now, how would you describe yourself?
34:14I would describe myself as an honest, hardworking man.
34:18Without a doubt.
34:20An honest, hardworking man, all right.
34:24Which is better than a king any day.
34:26Anybody out there that has a job for an honest, hardworking
34:30man, Nikolai Volkov is looking for one, right?
34:34Give us a call, BR549.
34:38Why don't you go back and sit with the rest of those bums
34:41out there?
34:42I'd be glad, because those people are good people.
34:45I'd rather be with them over there than with you right here.
34:49All right, you've got it.
34:51In your face, King Nikolai Volkov.
34:55May have followed on hard times, but he is still a proud American.
35:01And when we return, in action, the 1, 2, 3 kid.
35:07Catherine Stone welcomes you back to more Monday Night Raw.
35:12Well, you know what that means.
35:17On his way to the square check on, unquestionably,
35:22an individual who's the ultimate overachiever here
35:25in the World Wrestling Federation, the 1, 2, 3 kid.
35:281, 2, 3, whoo!
35:33And the kid can take it to anyone.
35:36His many, many upsets here in the World Wrestling Federation,
35:39a lot of them actually right here on Monday Night Raw.
35:41I want to congratulate the 1, 2, 3 kid for not tripping over the top rope
35:45checking out Catherine Stone at the same time.
35:49Dwayne Gill, ready to lock up with the kid.
35:531, 2, 3 kid, a friend of Rezo Ramon.
35:56And by the way, ladies and gentlemen, during the break,
35:58we got word on Rezo's condition.
36:00Is he ever angry?
36:02He's not hurt, only psychologically a bit.
36:05Maybe his pride hurt somewhat.
36:07Other than that, Rezo Ramon is storming around the dressing room.
36:11Rezo Ramon wants the 7-foot monster.
36:14Now Diesel made a mistake.
36:16He could very well have.
36:18And those actions could backfire this coming weekend on superstars.
36:22Razor wants a bit of revenge.
36:24He may find it on the WrestleMania Revenge Tour.
36:27But I'll tell you what, he definitely will look for it this coming weekend.
36:31And Dwayne Gill shoving the kid back to the corner.
36:35Dwayne Gill to the midsection.
36:37Dwayne Gill with a right hand.
36:39Dwayne Gill hammering on the 1, 2, 3 kid.
36:41Maybe an upset in the making here tonight.
36:43The kid coming off the rope and, oh, my clothesline.
36:46Hey, anything can happen in the World Wrestling Federation.
36:48Earlier this Saturday, we were watching Todd Pettengill on WWF Mania.
36:52This past Saturday morning, he actually sent a greetings on call to Roseanne.
36:57And you were chosen as the, well, the very special macho voice.
37:02Well, that kind of backfired, Vince McMahon, because as I was giving
37:05the message to Roseanne, she sounded like she was a little interested in me.
37:09I don't know about that, but Tom and Roseanne back together again.
37:12Everything all settled.
37:13Do they deserve each other?
37:16Two superstars, no doubt of that.
37:17And right now, the kid.
37:19Look at that maneuver.
37:21What agility.
37:22What the kid lacks in power, he makes up with with agility and lightning-like speed.
37:27The 1, 2, 3 kid, oh, yes.
37:29A roundhouse kick.
37:30And another one.
37:33The kid now asserting himself on Dwayne Gill.
37:36Off the rope and a nice tackle.
37:38The kid trying it again.
37:39Over Dwayne Gill from the far side and, oh, between the legs.
37:43A slide into third base, and look at this.
37:46Whoa, unbelievable.
37:50And a macho, and here we go.
37:52A little drum roll for the macho man, Randy Savage, and go ahead.
37:56OK, here we go.
37:58Don't miss, to the ends of the earth, James Brolin and Lauren Hutton,
38:02an old girlfriend of mine, are your traveling companions
38:05when USA leads you on a breathtaking journey to the ends of the earth.
38:09How's that?
38:11Well, all I can say is, anyone wishing Macho Man Randy Savage
38:13to read your promo copy, you can write to Macho Madness.
38:18And what would be the address?
38:20In care of myself, USA.
38:22Yeah.
38:22Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
38:24I kicked in the chest some contact there made by Dwayne Gill.
38:27And by the way, to the ends of the earth is, again,
38:32the name of the film, which was just promoed by the Macho Man Randy Savage.
38:34However, I believe you neglected to finish reading the promo copy.
38:38That's a USA special, Wednesday night at 9, 8 central.
38:42And I would suggest that your career, as far as reading promo copy is concerned,
38:47is much like the film that we're going to see.
38:49It could wind up at the ends of the earth.
38:51Real funny, McMahon.
38:52Why don't you line yourself up to be a guest on the Arsenio Hall show?
38:56Yeah, right.
38:58And look at this, coming out, Dwayne Gill.
39:00And the kid connects.
39:02See some matchup, but that could do it.
39:04Looks like Dwayne Gill is out.
39:05One, two, and yes, he gets it.
39:07He got him.
39:10The one, two, three kid victorious.
39:14And the kid was looking for victory, and he found it here tonight
39:18on Monday Night Raw.
39:19However, we've been looking for something, all right?
39:21We've been looking for The Undertaker.
39:23There have been a number of Undertaker sightings.
39:25Let's take you to the latest one.
39:31You know, the other day I was working, and guess who walked in?
39:35The Undertaker.
39:35I couldn't believe it.
39:36This guy was huge.
39:38Came up to the counter and ordered a six-foot wedge.
39:41I said, you sure you don't want a three-foot wedge?
39:43He said, no, six feet.
39:46So I sliced the bread, cleared off the space on the counter,
39:48gave him three pounds of roast beef, two pounds of ham, turkey, lettuce,
39:52tomato, onions, the works.
39:54Wrapped it all up, handed it to him, turned around to get his pickles,
39:59and he was gone.
40:00Vanished like a puff of smoke.
40:02I couldn't believe it.
40:04How about that, ladies and gentlemen?
40:05The Undertaker with a six-foot wedgie.
40:08A wedge.
40:09Nonetheless, we'll return with a rocket.
40:11Owen Hart, stay with us.
40:12Oh, my goodness.
40:15WWF superstars will bang heads in a grueling single-elimination tournament
40:21until only one man is left standing.
40:23The WWF King of the Ring.
40:26Bring it home live, Sunday night, June 19th, only on pay-per-view.
40:30Oh, yeah, the King of the Ring.
40:32And we're back with more action.
40:33Do you remember, by the way, Macho Man, who was last year's WWF King of the Ring?
40:37Don't you?
40:38No doubt about it.
40:38The Hitman, Bret Hart.
40:40And yes, that victory at the King of the Ring catapulted the Hitman
40:43into what was going to come later on, his winning of the World Wrestling
40:47Federation Championship.
40:49And there he is right there in poster form.
40:52The Hitman takes on all comers.
40:55He'll be defending a title against anyone and, well,
40:58not that The Rocket is just anyone, because The Rocket, Owen Hart,
41:02defeated The Hitman at WrestleMania before Bret became the WWF champion.
41:08I can't believe the blistering emotions that Owen, The Rocket Hart,
41:12has with his brother, The Hitman.
41:14And who knows?
41:16Owen could become the champion during the worldwide WrestleMania Revenge Tour.
41:20Stay with us for more action.
41:24We are back, ready for more action.
41:26Vince McMahon along with the Macho Man, Randy Savage, The Rocket, Owen Hart,
41:28squaring off against Rich Myers.
41:30By the way, later on this coming weekend, The Rocket in single competition
41:35against one of the members of Men on a Mission, Moe.
41:39That'll be on WWF Challenge, The Rocket versus Moe.
41:43Right now, Rich Myers is trying his luck against the number one contender.
41:47Look at this.
41:47You expect a clean break there from The Rocket?
41:50The temper's starting to flare.
41:52Oh, did you see that?
41:54What a slap.
41:55That wasn't just a slap.
41:56That was a slap.
41:58Rich Myers slapped Silly a moment ago.
42:01Come on, ref, get in there.
42:03Owen Hart, quite the aggressor, continuing to chop away.
42:08And Myers sets up for the reversal, to the buckle, and
42:11uh-oh, Myers running right into that one.
42:13You think that Owen's developed an attitude?
42:16No doubt about that.
42:17Owen Hart wants to be the World Wrestling Federation champion.
42:20He could very well be that, as the worldwide WrestleMania Revenge Tour
42:24continues its domestic function.
42:27As a matter of fact, as was mentioned earlier on in the promo,
42:30Albany, New York gets set for this Wednesday night's WWF action at the NIC.
42:36And then from there, who knows?
42:39Maybe The Rocket becomes the champion in New England this coming weekend,
42:44Friday night in Providence at the Providence Civic Center.
42:47On to Boston, Saturday night at the Boston Garden.
42:52On to Sunday, boom, my gut-wrench suplex on the Sunday in Worcester
42:57at the Worcester Centrum, and in one of those locations, yeah, you're right.
43:02The Rocket could be the next WWF champion.
43:05What's Owen trying to tell everybody right now, huh?
43:09Pretty obvious.
43:10The Rocket thinks he certainly has all the capability, and he does,
43:14I believe, in my view, of becoming a champion.
43:16I think The Rocket has his brother's number.
43:20Well, he's not a good statesman.
43:22I'll have to agree with that.
43:23However, speaking of a great statesman, we'd like to pay respect to the family of
43:27former President Nixon, arguably the finest foreign policy statesman of
43:32this century in this country.
43:34Goodness, what a clothesline that was.
43:37The Rocket, Owen, aren't really taking it to Rich Myers.
43:39Trying to make a statement here tonight on Monday Night Raw, and
43:42doing just that so far.
43:44Myers hooked up now.
43:45Myers snaps suplex to the canvas.
43:47He beat the Hitman at WrestleMania X.
43:49Let's not forget that.
43:52And by the way, you mentioned Captain Louis Albano.
43:56Lou Albano is standing by.
43:57We are told we will have an interview with Captain Louis Albano as it relates to
44:01the tag team championship match that will be presented right here next week
44:06on Monday Night Raw.
44:07He's gotta be psyched to the max.
44:09I'm sure he is.
44:10He's always psyched to the max.
44:10He's always psyched anyway, yeah.
44:14Rocket sort of toying around, I believe here, a bit with Rich Myers.
44:18Tony probably gave the Head Shrinkers the match next week just to shut
44:22Lou Albano up.
44:23Look at this, reversal.
44:26Myers now with aggressive tactics.
44:29Myers with an offense, hammering away on the Rocket.
44:31Myers trying to set up Owen Hart.
44:33No, Owen Hart saw that one coming.
44:36Wait a minute.
44:37Stepping through now.
44:38Here he comes.
44:40Here comes the Sharpshooter.
44:42The Rocket applying the Sharpshooter on Rich Myers.
44:45I'm sure he would like to do the same to the Hitman Bret Hart, his brother, and
44:49the WWF Champion.
44:50Look at that pose.
44:51And he's not letting go of the Sharpshooter either.
44:53Look at this.
44:55Pretending like he can't hear the referee.
44:57He already won the match.
44:59Will he be the next World Wrestling Federation Champion?
45:03Anything can happen here in the World Wrestling Federation.
45:06Look at that.
45:08What's he doing now?
45:09He's gloating, styling.
45:12Look at the glasses.
45:14We'll be back, ladies and gentlemen.
45:15Captain Luis Albano is going to join us here on Monday Night Raw.
45:19What is he doing?
45:20Look at that.
45:22Welcome back to our Monday Night Raw.
45:23Benjamin Macho and Randy Savage and then Captain Luis Albano.
45:27And you look happy.
45:28I'm so happy for me.
45:29Macho, I'm so happy.
45:31This is it.
45:32I mean, the match is here.
45:33The bell's on the line.
45:35I'll be my 20th World Champion.
45:37Captain Luis Albano is so happy.
45:43The Hedge Swingers will meet the Quebecers here on Monday Night Raw.
45:47Championship match right here.
45:49You're so proud of yourself, aren't you, Captain?
45:52Captain, what are you to Captain him?
45:54Garbage Scout.
45:55You're nothing but an old man.
45:57You are a geezer.
45:58You probably don't take it down, the 18 Commandments.
46:01You're a never was-man and a has-man.
46:03You're what?
46:04I need a little shoot back there.
46:05Okay, man.
46:16Macho Man, Randy Savage, Captain Luis Albano in the squared circle.
46:23Tony Perro is having his problems.
