00:00It was at SummerSlam just three weeks ago that we first saw
00:04Tataka's shocking deception unveiled.
00:07It was he that had sold out the Million Dollar Man all along.
00:11After months of vicious accusations,
00:13we learned Tataka had been a part of DBIC's corporation from the beginning.
00:17And then, in the ultimate insult, Tataka stuffed a $100 bill in Lex Luger's mouth.
00:24The surprises continued.
00:26Just this past weekend, Tataka, a man who had represented Native Americans
00:30proudly at one time, arrived with Ted DiBiase in a stretched limousine.
00:35Abandoning his traditional clothing and philosophy,
00:39Tataka delivered this startling message to all who would listen to he and Ted DiBiase.
00:47That's right, Lex Luger.
00:49Unlike you, I do appreciate the value of a dollar.
00:56Matter of fact, I appreciate the value of a million dollars.
01:01Ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:02Tonight, making his first appearance on Monday Night Raw.
01:07Since the humiliation at SummerSlam, he's made it in the USA.
01:12And now, here's your winner,
01:16the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion,
01:20Tataka Ishii.
01:22And now, here's your winner,
01:26the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion,
01:31he's made it in the USA, Lex Luger.
01:34Welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw.
01:40Vince McMahon here along with the Macho Man Randy Savage.
01:43And you know Randy Savage,
01:44they claim that anything can happen here in the World Wrestling Federation at any time.
01:49But did you ever think you would see that?
01:51You know something Vince McMahon,
01:52I never would have predicted that in a million, zillion years.
01:56I'm completely 100% befuddled.
02:01Well, speaking of predictions, how about predicting a winner in our future matchup?
02:05Jerry The King Lawler squaring off against Duke The Thumbster Grozy.
02:09That's something I will predict.
02:11I predict that Duke The Thumbster Grozy beats Jerry The King Lawler,
02:15because it's time to take the trash out of the WWF.
02:20I'll give an oh yeah to that.
02:21And by the way, a special interview with the former WWF Champion as well, Bob Backlund.
02:26He snapped.
02:27Yeah, maybe so.
02:29Bob's certainly not a part of the new WWF generation.
02:32Well, let me show you somebody that is a part of the new generation.
02:36Yes, here he comes, made in the U.S. of A.
02:40This contest is scheduled for one fall.
02:46About to enter the ring from Atlanta, G.L.A.
02:50And there he is, ladies and gentlemen,
02:51the man who personifies what the red, white, and blue is all about.
02:56A man with, indeed, the American spirit.
02:59A man who will not give up.
03:01And a man who is strong enough to forgive as well, Randy.
03:05You're right about that, Lex Luger, in red, white, and blue fashion,
03:09is man enough to forgive.
03:11And thank goodness for that, because I've always been tight with Lex Luger.
03:14But I am one of the many people that thought that Lex Luger sold out.
03:19And I will never, ever doubt him again.
03:23Indeed, Lex Luger, ladies and gentlemen.
03:25Who proved that he is a man of his word, big enough to forgive.
03:30And also, Randy Savage, certainly big enough not to forget.
03:34He will never, ever forget the humiliation Tatanka delivered at SummerSlam.
03:40Lex will get Tatanka, I am triple sure of it, red, white, and blue sure of it.
03:45Luger and Fredo, assistant editor at WWF Magazine,
03:49taking notes here tonight on a special column coming out.
03:53Raw ringside.
03:55Yes, indeed, the experience of what it's like to be here live on Monday Night Raw.
04:01It's almost like being live during the WWF heart attack tour.
04:06The executioner locking up now with Lex Luger.
04:10Grinding an outstanding side headlock.
04:12You can bet somewhere Native American Tatanka is watching this,
04:16without sitting back in a plush leather chair with Ted DiBiase by his side.
04:20Nice tackle by Lex Luger.
04:22Big, big tackle by Lex Luger.
04:26Lex Luger proud of just who he is, what kind of competitor he is.
04:30And I'm not so sure that Tatanka can say the same thing.
04:34Earlier this weekend on WWF Mania, Todd Pettingill read a letter from
04:38a young Native American girl who was extremely hurt by the actions
04:44of what she termed a role model at one time.
04:48But Tatanka's got a beautiful suit, but
04:50he needs to take a shower cuz he's holding a lot of dirty money.
04:54The executioner now sends Luger to the buckle.
04:56Moving in, and a little too slow, a roll up, one, two, this one, no it's not.
05:02No, it's not.
05:03And also, by the way, no, there you go, small package to him.
05:07Can't quite get it.
05:09Earlier this weekend as well on WWF All-American, Roddy Roddy Piper,
05:13the bottom line, Mr.
05:15Piper had a Native American father and his son on his portion of the program.
05:22And they, too, were extremely hurt and
05:25extremely confused over the actions of Tatanka.
05:29Why would he have done this?
05:31Why would he have sold out?
05:33Not only did he sell himself out to Ted DiBiase,
05:37he sold all of his Native Americans out.
05:40An unbelievable setback for Native Americans all over the world.
05:44And they're all about pride.
05:45Whoa!
05:47And that man's all about pride right there, a clothesline.
05:53Here's a man that you'll never doubt again, Rex Luger.
05:57Here's a man who believes in what he says in a power slam.
06:02Here's a man for all Native Americans, for
06:04all all over the world to follow in his footsteps.
06:08Here we go now, the Rebel Rex.
06:11The executioner is up.
06:14Rex Luger applying the pressure, this one's over.
06:16This one's in the history books.
06:20My own Native American, Tatanka, is watching this right now.
06:28Because when you look at Luger's face, when you look at his performance,
06:33well, all you see there is a man determined,
06:35determined to right the wrong that was at SummerSlam.
06:39Whoever the executioner is, I hope he's a friend of Tatanka,
06:44cuz he just felt the power of Lex Luger.
06:49Congratulations to Lex Luger, congratulations to the new Miss America.
06:55Heather Whitestone, what a tremendous role model she will be for
06:59young women all over America.
07:00And that man, of course,
07:01exemplifying what Mr. America is really all about.
07:07Ooh, yeah.
07:09Tatanka, he revealed his true colors at SummerSlam.
07:13Now he returns to the ring with the Million Dollar Man at his side.
07:17Plus, the awesome new tag team champions Diesel and Shawn Michaels in action.
07:21And a special King's Court with the British Bulldog.
07:25All live, next week on Monday Night Raw.
07:31What action heading your way next week, ladies and gentlemen?
07:34Live on Monday Night Raw.
07:36And look who's headed to the ring right now.
07:39My goodness, take a look at the regalness.
07:43Take a look at the royalty, the majesty of Jerry, the King Lawler.
07:50I don't think so.
07:52Lawler is cold and callous.
07:55But if you think that he's gonna be gross here tonight, forget about it.
08:00It's not gonna happen.
08:01Yeah, I don't know about that.
08:02I may disagree with you because Jerry, the King Lawler,
08:05one of the more cunning WWF superstars.
08:09This man unquestionably epitomizes what the word cheat is all about.
08:18He could get trashed.
08:21Howard Finkel, our ring announcer.
08:23Wait a minute, here goes the King now.
08:24I'm only gonna say this one more time.
08:27When the King walks down the aisle,
08:29you peons should kneel down and kiss my royal feet.
08:34Boy, that'll be rippy.
08:37Now this is something that I've been waiting a long time for.
08:42Finally, I am gonna get that trashed, man.
08:46Duke the Dumpster Drossi face to face, I'm gonna ask him a few questions.
08:52Some that you might know the answer to, Finko.
08:55What's it like to have morning breath 24 hours a day?
08:59Hey, how did he know about that?
09:00Or when the Dumpster gave his clothes to the Goodwill and
09:04they gave them back?
09:05You see, because he is a filthy piece of trash, and
09:09the trash is gonna be taken out tonight by me.
09:14Well, the trash will be taken out, whether or not it's by Jerry the King Lawler, or
09:18whether or not it's by Duke the Dumpster Drossi.
09:21We're about to find out, stay tuned.
09:26Welcome back, everyone.
09:27And yes, his regalness, his royalness, King O'Jock, my, uh-huh.
09:33Well, that big dumpster is backing up to the nearest trash can, and here he comes.
09:38The 305 pounds, Duke the Dumpster Drossi.
09:44My, take a look at this dumpster.
09:47The trash can in perfect position.
09:53And I think that's where we're gonna find the king after this match is over.
09:57Crown, robe, scepter and all.
10:00I think he's gonna be stuffed down in that trash can, Randy Savage.
10:02Yeah, if you ask Lawler about it, Duke the Dumpster Drossi is the underdog, but
10:07I say he's the overdog.
10:09And look at this, a dumpster going right after the king.
10:15The king better get ready to go.
10:17Lawler would rather talk about a fight than actually do it, for sure.
10:22Of course, Jerry Lawler embarrassed last week by Dark and
10:25Dink who brought out a trash can.
10:28Making reference to this specific matchup this week.
10:31Lawler kicked the can, so to speak, and almost broke his toe.
10:37So the Prince of Pranks, Dark and
10:41Dink pulling a fast one on Jerry the King Lawler last week.
10:45That could very well be a harbinger of the outcome of this matchup.
10:49And Lawler, let's get a few rules and regulations down.
10:54This is Lawler, the King of Stalling.
10:59And also, I might add, the King of Psychological Warfare.
11:03No doubt about it.
11:04Because if Jerry the King Lawler can get this relatively inexperienced Duke
11:09the Dumpster Drossi to kind of get him off guard a little bit,
11:12then the king could very well be in control as he is right now.
11:16Standing side headlock.
11:17He's got a headlock and he's gloating.
11:19He don't look so tough now, does he?
11:25Lawler always with the big mouth.
11:27And Lawler now, my, on his back, headed for the cover.
11:33Look at this.
11:35That's what we all came to see.
11:37And we're gonna see a great deal more of it, I would suggest.
11:40A pull of the tights and a hair, he claims.
11:43Please.
11:46What is it? Yeah, man, Jerry Lawler, go ahead out there and fight.
11:49Let's go, Lawler.
11:54And again, you see Jerry the King Lawler in a psychological attack.
12:00And you see the impatience on the face of Duke the Dumpster Drossi.
12:07This all started about three months ago, when Duke the Dumpster Drossi
12:11shoved that trash can on top of Jerry the King Lawler.
12:14Remember that, Randy Savage?
12:15Absolutely.
12:17Yeah, that happened on Superstars.
12:19A lot of people want this match to happen, hey.
12:22Hard right hand, and down goes Lawler.
12:24Lawler to the outside.
12:26High tailing it, Lawler, getting out of the ring.
12:29Good move.
12:31And Lawler is gone with the wind, as we speak.
12:35Making reference, of course, to Margaret Mitchell and
12:39the house in which she wrote, gone with the wind, burning to the ground over
12:42the weekend.
12:43And you wonder if Lawler's career is gonna do the same.
12:45Let's torch it.
12:48That's up to the Dumpster.
12:50And the Dumpster looks like he is definitely up for the task, indeed.
12:54Duke the Dumpster Drossi, a relevant newcomer,
12:56finally getting his paws on Jerry the King Lawler.
13:00Lawler has been attempting to avoid this matchup for some time.
13:03But thanks to Jack Tunney, the match was made.
13:07And to the corner now.
13:08And we're all for the ride.
13:13Jerry the King Lawler continues to back away from Duke the Dumpster Drossi.
13:19Drossi pouring it on now.
13:20The King having his problems.
13:23Look at this.
13:26Yes.
13:29Holy, the turnbuckles holding him up.
13:31And turn back.
13:35And to the outside.
13:37Vintage Jerry the King Lawler.
13:39The outside of the ring's like a magnet for Lawler.
13:44And you wonder whether or not, as you hear the Burger King chant,
13:49whether or not Duke the Dumpster Drossi will stuff Jerry Lawler right down in
13:53the trash can after this matchup is over.
13:55I hope he comes over here.
13:56I got a whopper for him.
13:57These fans will not leave the King alone.
14:02Some King.
14:07Drossi appears to be a little befuddled by all this attention the King is getting.
14:16They're locking back up.
14:18After this match is over, I'm sure that Lawler's gonna beg.
14:21He's gonna be one of the people begging to go into the biosphere.
14:26That may be the only place that'll take him.
14:28Except the local dump, of course.
14:31Which is where he's gonna wind up, I believe.
14:33Here we go.
14:33For the ride turnbuckles.
14:35Out, up, and over.
14:37My goodness.
14:38Let's call Ripley's Believe it or
14:40not in the Guinness Book of World Record for Drossi throwing trash around.
14:44Duke the Dumpster getting his hands all soiled.
14:48Will he finish the job?
14:50We'll be back to find out.
14:52Stay with us.
14:55Welcome back to more action on Monday Night Raw.
14:57Jerry the King Lawler is still begging up.
14:59He doesn't wanna have anything at all to do with Duke the Dumpster Drossi.
15:02I thought Lawler wanted Drossi.
15:04Yeah, sure he does, yeah.
15:06Jerry the King Lawler asking for a bit of quiet from his capacity crowd.
15:09And of course, everyone's gonna cooperate with him, yeah, right.
15:12The king of rabbit ears, Jerry Lawler.
15:16Lawler wanting to test the strength of this big 300 pounder,
15:20Duke the Dumpster Drossi.
15:21And good luck, Jerry Lawler.
15:22He's gotta be out of his mind to wanna do a test of strength with Drossi.
15:26He's got something up his sleeve and it's not a bicep.
15:30And Lawler may have something in his hand, I'm not certain.
15:35I hope it's resignation papers.
15:38It could very well be.
15:39Duke the Dumpster Drossi setting the trend once again for Prince Charles.
15:45Prince Charles in the paper today noted to be one of the close horses in all
15:50the world, and look at, all of a sudden he's limping, what happened?
15:53They twist his knee standing in the corner.
15:55Psychological warfare at best.
15:59Lawler just might have something in his hand, I don't know.
16:02Right now he's got Duke the Dumpster Drossi in one hand.
16:06He's got a close fist is what he's got.
16:08Boy, he cold cocked Duke the Dumpster Drossi.
16:11And Lawler, Jerry Lawler can't believe his own eyes.
16:19He actually has the Dumpster down on the canvas.
16:22What is it, the court jester now laughing that Drossi's on the canvas finally?
16:27Jerry Lawler with a hard right hand, another one.
16:30He better stay on him.
16:31Drossi gets up, Lawler's done.
16:34And Jerry the King Lawler pouring it on now.
16:38Lawler, who probably thinks he's the new Julio Cesar Chavez of the WWF.
16:43Another right hand.
16:45Only a wannabe.
16:46What a vertical jump by Lawler, jumping on the second rope.
16:53I didn't think he could do it without a ladder.
16:57Jerry the King Lawler, thus far, in control of the matchup.
17:01And the Dumpster's having his problems,
17:03as you might suspect anyone would, against this cunning king.
17:09To me, this would be a big upset if Lawler won, and I would be very upset.
17:14Now, look at this, Lawler making fun of Duke the Dumpster Drossi.
17:17Series of left hands, come on, ref, get Lawler to open those fists.
17:25Jerry the King Lawler, with those hard rights and laughs, and now, come on.
17:30Lawler, look at that leverage right there, look at the leverage.
17:42Well, this is a tremendous upset.
17:45Jerry Lawler is in control of this matchup, and
17:48it looks like he's gonna keep control.
17:50Can't believe it, this is terrible.
17:52Right now, Drossi has gotta reach back and get it going.
17:56Otherwise, it is all over.
17:58Stamp there, and then now, what's this?
18:01Lawler, Lawler.
18:04Clams all right, but that'll do it.
18:06Jerry the King Lawler, he doesn't go for the cup, yes he does.
18:09Can you imagine?
18:11Coden your own.
18:12Thank you very much.
18:14The powerful Dumpster able to kick out, and kick out with authority.
18:21But Lawler's right back on.
18:23Lawler ever tenacious, Lawler sets him up now.
18:26Here we go, piledriver coming at you.
18:28King Lawler going for the piledriver, he has him up.
18:32And that'll do it, that'll do it.
18:36Wait a minute, Lawler is gloating.
18:39Lawler should go for the cover.
18:43Now what's he gonna do?
18:44Insult the injury, no doubt.
18:48No, he's going outside, he's going for the trash can.
18:50I'm putting him in here.
18:52He's going for the trash, hey, hey, hey, how about that?
18:57Deek just squirted Jerry Lawler right in the face with a squirt gun.
19:01What a setup.
19:02Wait a minute, hey, hey, wait a minute.
19:04Lawler's chasing Deek.
19:06Lawler wants to get even with Deek.
19:08Deek running as fast as he can.
19:10Lawler hot on his trail.
19:11Meanwhile, the referee has continued to count.
19:14Lawler better get back into the ring.
19:16This is great.
19:17How about this?
19:20The winner of this bout, as a result of a countdown.
19:23Yes, yes.
19:26Poetic justice has been served here tonight.
19:30The squirt gave him a squirt.
19:35Jerry Lawler, forget about the match.
19:38My goodness.
19:41Take a bite out of crime.
19:45Let me correct myself, I apologize.
19:47It's not take a bite out of crime, it's take a bite out of slimes.
19:51Lawler still out there, Deek.
19:53Lawler back in, good.
19:54Wait a minute, Deek is having lots of fun this way.
20:00Lawler's slap happy.
20:03Jerry Lawler is being humiliated.
20:08Now Lawler- Now we're gonna take the trash out.
20:14It was just last week when Doig and
20:17Deek made a fool out of Lawler when he kicked the can that had weight in the bottom of it.
20:22Hey, wait a minute, coming in from behind.
20:28Lawler doesn't know it.
20:29Doig, Doig is right behind him.
20:33Turn around, Jerry Lawler.
20:37Doig, Deek, Drowzee, and Lawler has no place to go.
20:42Where's he going?
20:44He doesn't care.
20:45He's going after the fans.
20:46Look at this.
20:47That's not a safe place for Lawler, let me tell you.
20:52Doig and Deek are having a laugh.
20:58Jerry the King Lawler will never forget this night.
21:01Lawler perhaps could have had the victory over Duke the Dumpster Drowzee.
21:06But no, he wanted to stuff the dumpster into the trash can.
21:10And that's when Deek got the best of Lawler.
21:14Yeah.
21:15A nightmare for Lawler, but this is where dreams come true.
21:18I'm happy.
21:20Anything can happen in the WWF, not much is for certain.
21:25Stay tuned, everybody, for more WWF action.
21:29It's coming.
21:34I've never seen anything like this.
21:37More action.
21:38Those guys are pulling out all the stops.
21:41Less talk.
21:42Actions speak louder than words.
21:44Enter the Zone, October 23rd on USA.
21:50Yes, indeed, it is the Action Zone.
21:51As always, the WWF can't bring you, ladies and gentlemen.
21:55Premiering October 23, it's more action than you've ever seen before.
22:00When you sit down at your television set on a Sunday afternoon.
22:05Well, you're not looking for talk.
22:06You're not looking for all that free game gaga.
22:09You want action.
22:10We're talking about action, Jaxson.
22:12Aha.
22:14And it's your way, October 23, 12 noon Eastern Time, right here on USA.
22:23And speaking of action, the Heavenly Body is ready to get it on in tag team action.
22:31Promotional consideration paid for by the following.
22:44I always like to keep my favorite snack handy.
22:48Need a little excitement?
22:51Step into a Slim Jim, yeah.
22:56We apologize, ladies and gentlemen, this matchup began during the break up.
22:59The Heavenly Bodies attempting to take it to their opponents, Mike Bell and
23:03Steve King.
23:04What a high flying action, yeah.
23:07And a double team effort.
23:10And you see they bang bang the gestures.
23:13Made toward, of course, the Smoking Guns.
23:15The Gigolo Jimmy Del Rey in there at the moment against Steve King.
23:19Even without their wings, they've been flying off their top rope the whole match.
23:23And here we go, for the ride, yes.
23:26Nicely done, nicely executed, give credit where it's due.
23:30Belly to belly.
23:32And the Gigolo Jimmy Del Rey trying to teach Steve King a lesson.
23:38Several weeks ago, in a melee that was supposed to be a matchup
23:42between the Smoking Guns, Billy and Bart, and these two Heavenly Bodies erupted.
23:47In which the, well, the wings, if you would,
23:51worn by the Heavenly Bodies were clipped.
23:53Wow, the Doctor of Desire, Tom Prichard in there against King.
23:59And I might add, the Heavenly Bodies got a little bit of the Smoking Guns,
24:04in terms of their garb as well, crushing their hats.
24:07No doubt about it, the Doctor of Desire with the souffle.
24:11Tom Prichard, along with the Gigolo Jimmy Del Rey.
24:16The Heavenly Bodies managed by a man who's conspicuous by his absence here.
24:21This week, Jim Cornette, who as we speak, is allegedly in Toronto,
24:26Canada, attempting to insert some sort of special provision in this WWF Heart Attack Tour.
24:33Yeah, what about that anyway, Jim Cornette-
24:35Wow, wait a minute, one, two, I'm set, no.
24:38Almost a count of three.
24:40What a clothesline.
24:42Devastating maneuver, as you were saying?
24:44I forgot.
24:47The Heavenly Bodies are a vicious tag team.
24:51And Steve King has just about had it.
24:54His partner Mike Bell yet to get into the matchup.
24:56A series of reverse knife edges.
25:00King coming off the rope, front kick, nicely done.
25:02As good as the Heavenly Bodies are doing right now,
25:05I still say when Billy and Bart get it together,
25:08the Smoking Guns is gonna be roundup time.
25:11Could very well be.
25:13What a matchup that is likely to be here in the WWF.
25:17And, uh-oh, Gut-Wrench coming up, yes.
25:21How about that, a new opinion combination, but he's going for it.
25:23That was a variation that I've never seen before.
25:27And a frequent tag made by the Heavenly Bodies.
25:30Look at this from the top rope, and, damn.
25:34Amazing.
25:35Maneuver, and a three count.
25:37These guys are a team to be reckoned with.
25:40Yes, indeed they are.
25:42The Heavenly Bodies, ladies and gentlemen, victorious.
25:45They did not even allow Steve King's partner, Mike Bell, to get into the ring.
25:51However, joining us in the ring with a very special interview,
25:54the former WWF Champion, Bob Backler.
26:01Bless me, Father, for I am tormented.
26:04What's troubling you, my dear?
26:05Two months ago, I started watching the new WWF Generation with my husband.
26:09Suddenly, I felt this instant attraction.
26:13Razor Ramon, Shawn Michaels, Brett the Hitman Hart.
26:17Oh, Father, thoughts of these men consume my most intimate moments.
26:22I feel so unfaithful.
26:24Please forgive me.
26:25Oh, I think we can work something out.
26:31The new WWF Generation.
26:34Put your faith in us.
26:37Ladies and gentlemen, would you please welcome the former
26:40World Wrestling Federation Champion, Bob Backland.
26:45Well, you can bet that that young lady wasn't thinking about Bob Backland, but
26:50she should have really come clean and admitted that she was thinking about
26:54the madness, but I forgive her.
26:57She should do three Hail Machos and four Hail Mans.
27:01Mr. Backland, please.
27:04Bob Backland, talk about an identity crisis.
27:07This guy's tapped city.
27:08You heard it, Mr. Backland.
27:09You heard all these boos from this capacity crowd.
27:12What about it?
27:13I have a reason to boo, Bob Backland.
27:22I mean, they think back, as I do.
27:24I'm thinking back to when you first came to the World Wrestling Federation.
27:28Former NCAA collegiate champion in the amateur ranks.
27:33Coming into the WWF, why, you typified what sportsmanship was really
27:40all about when you were the WWF champion in the past years ago.
27:45But Bob Backland, in a recent match with the Hitman Bret Hart,
27:52the reigning World Wrestling Federation champion, many people feel as though
27:57that Bret Hart proved his superiority in that match.
28:04Nonetheless, let's go back to several years ago,
28:10when you decided to make a comeback to the World Wrestling Federation.
28:14You decided to set a goal once again,
28:17once again to be the World Wrestling Federation champion.
28:20And everyone thought that you would bring with you those same values
28:25that you had when you were the WWF champion.
28:28They thought that you'd be a sportsman, a consummate sportsman.
28:32And you were, up until the match with the Hitman Bret Hart.
28:36But after he proved his superiority, you snapped, Bob Backland.
28:41Plain and simple, snap.
28:44Snapped.
28:45This is foreign.
28:45Is this what you want?
28:46Is this Bob Backland, this?
28:49What's going on in your head?
28:52Nothing.
28:53First of all, I do not like the word former.
28:59I celebrated my 16th anniversary as being the champ last year, and I'm going for 18.
29:08So messed up in his head, he can't even count.
29:11And I'm very cognizant of what I'm doing, ladies and gentlemen.
29:16And before the end of that match, I defeated Bret the Hitman Hart, one, two, three.
29:25And as far as my standards, McMahon,
29:28my standards are higher than they ever have been in my life.
29:33My standards are too high for the Pobelians in this world.
29:40You can't live up to my standards.
29:42And I'll fight for those standards.
29:46Society today is corrupt.
29:51Society today has teachers that help kids cheat on tests.
29:56They got principals that drive around, just like women.
30:02Do you think I wanna be a member of that society?
30:10I'm appalled.
30:12I'm disgraced to think that you people, I used to love you.
30:19And you changed.
30:29You destroyed the world around you.
30:32And if you could live up to my standards,
30:37we would have a utopia, a perfect world.
30:45And I put the chicken wing on Bret the Hitman Hart for
30:49one reason, because when I did that,
30:54I had the opportunity to put it on each and every one of you people.
31:00Pobelians, I'm not one of you anymore.
31:04I walk tall, I don't have to cheat.
31:09And I hope that each and every one of you felt the pain of the greatest
31:15hold in professional wrestling, the chicken wing.
31:19You know, when I came back, McMahon, I didn't use the chicken wing because I
31:24wanted to make these people happy.
31:26Well, these people could drag anybody down.
31:31Because they're not successful.
31:34They are manipulators and they manipulate themselves.
31:38And that chicken wing.
31:43This is Bob Backlund.
31:48The chicken wing is the greatest hold in professional wrestling.
31:53And nobody, including the man with the belt, not the champion.
32:00Can't get out of it.
32:01And I'll return.
32:05Nobody told Backlund the NFL's throwback weekend was over.
32:11Does that bother you?
32:12You hear what they're chanting, they're chanting has been.
32:20Do I look like a Jasmine?
32:23The people out there are has-beens.
32:26I run more miles in a day than they do in their lifetime.
32:31When I say something, ladies and gentlemen, I do it.
32:35You're too weak.
32:37You can't go on a diet for more than one day.
32:41You suffer from dyslexia.
32:4450% of the people in America can't read.
32:48So what kind of a legislative system do we have?
32:52And by the way, what I'm fighting for,
32:55I'd like to take exception to a remark you made that there is no escape for
32:58the chicken wing and the crossface.
33:00Because you yourself at one time, Bob Backlund, said, for
33:03every move there's a counter, for every hold there's an escape.
33:08You're saying there's no way to escape the chicken wing crossface.
33:11Ladies and gentlemen, and I use that term loosely.
33:15If there's anybody that can walk away or
33:20get out of that chicken wing once I get opinioned to the mat,
33:28I'll retire from professional wrestling for good.
33:35Do we have that in writing?
33:39Pretty bold statement, Mr. Backlund.
33:41That's an awesome hold, but that's a pretty bold statement.
33:46What's this?
33:48What?
33:50No, no, wait a minute.
33:50What, is he challenging McMahon?
33:53Hey, I'd like to see this myself.
33:57Hey Vince, go do it, go for it.
33:59If you would like to bring out a WWF superstar or
34:03challenge someone from the dressing room, fine.
34:07Who's it gonna be?
34:10Rule number one, never let anybody put a hold on you without earning it.
34:16Come on, come on.
34:18Who's he talking to?
34:19Wait a minute.
34:24Hey, check this out.
34:25Hey Lou, where you going?
34:27Louie, Lou Gianfrido, who writes for the WWF magazine,
34:32who's here covering tonight's activities, you invite him up here?
34:37This is incredible.
34:38Lou's been writing about Bob Backlund for years, positively I might add.
34:42He's got respect for him like we all had.
34:45You're gonna put the chicken wing on Louie, why?
34:48And they're friends.
34:50Do you like it?
34:50Demonstrate it, I'll demonstrate it.
34:53Are you game for this, Lou?
34:55Absolutely.
34:57That's not a baby, Lou, cool.
34:58I'm ready for it, Bob.
35:01All right, Bob Backlund, he's ready for it, as a demonstration.
35:05As a demonstration, cool.
35:07Not a baby, Lou.
35:09Are you up for the task?
35:10Well, I mean, okay, but I mean there could be a WWF superstar you could call out here.
35:17I'd rather see that.
35:18I said, if anybody gets away from it, I'll retire.
35:23For good.
35:24When I say something, I'm not gonna be fallacious with these people.
35:30I'm not the President of the United States.
35:32I don't lie, and I don't cheat.
35:34And if I say it, I'm gonna do it.
35:38Whether you like it or not, I'm gonna tell you the truth.
35:44I need a dictionary when Bob Backlund talks.
35:46You're gonna give us a demonstration of the chicken wing, go ahead.
35:51He has been, he has been.
35:54Come on, Lou.
35:56You're your best brother.
35:59Louie.
36:00Easy, Bob.
36:01All right.
36:02Okay, you've proved your point.
36:04Can you get out, Louie?
36:04Let him go, brother.
36:06Wait a minute, is he, what are you, hey.
36:08Hey, he writes for the magazine.
36:12He's not even a wrestler.
36:13Hey, what are you doing?
36:16Let him go.
36:18Let him go.
36:19Let him, let him go.
36:21What the, what the hell with Tony?
36:57What the hell with Tony?
37:05Let him go, let him go.
37:15Let him go.
37:20Let him go.
37:25Ladies and
37:30gentlemen,
37:36my name is Mr.
37:41Backlund, did you feel it?
37:50Did you feel it?
37:52That's what discipline is all about, ladies and gentlemen.
37:59Hey, he writes for the magazine, he's not even a wrestler.
38:03Hey, what are you doing?
38:05Let him go, let him go, let him, let him go.
38:09We're back,
38:14ladies and gentlemen.
38:21From our action on Monday Night Raw,
38:26but the action that we just replayed,
38:32something I thought I would never,
38:37I've never seen from a man like Bob Backlund.
38:43I'm still speechless, Luigi Infrito is a friend of mine, and
38:46I thought he was a friend of Bob Backlund's, but obviously-
38:50How can he do that?
38:51I don't know, man, I'm telling you.
38:52How can Backlund do that to someone like Luigi Infrito,
38:55who has respected Bob Backlund for all these many years, who's written about him?
39:00He's a writer, he's not a wrestler.
39:03Backlund wanting to demonstrate the cross-face chicken wing, and
39:10we don't have a report on the condition of Luigi Infrito.
39:16Hopefully, there's nothing permanently wrong.
39:18I'd like to say that the heart of Luigi Infrito is much bigger than the whole
39:23career of Bob Backlund, so I'd like to go on the record for saying that.
39:27Obviously, Gianfrino had no idea that Bob Backlund would do something like that.
39:31Who would have?
39:32Backlund unquestionably had a snap, there's no mistake about it.
39:36I believe Gianfrino was just trying to do Bob Backlund a favor.
39:44We apologize for not calling a great deal of the action here.
39:48Richie Rich against Bob Holly, Bob Sparkplug Holly.
39:55But this incident with Bob Backlund has everyone in this capacity
39:58crowd extremely upset.
40:00There's no escape for the cross-face chicken wing, Backlund claims.
40:06And maybe he's right.
40:07But why not attempt to apply that hold on a superstar in the WWE?
40:12Why try and do it to someone who writes for the magazine?
40:17You're exactly right.
40:19And all that mindless chatter that he had before that,
40:23you could hear his derangement.
40:26And that's exactly what he is.
40:28Backlund is deranged, he's bitter.
40:32He's bitter about his lost opportunity.
40:35And in fact, he did feel as though he had won the original matchup.
40:39But Bret already thought he had it for the one, two, three.
40:42He was celebrating his victory prematurely when Bret turned the time.
40:47The cover here, and the three count.
40:50I'd like to say something.
40:52You're right, McMahon.
40:54Backlund's bitter, and that's it in a nutshell.
40:59Again, we apologize to this young superstar here, Bob Sparkplug Holly.
41:04What a tremendous victory.
41:06But Backlund's actions have absolutely overwhelmed everyone.
41:09Standing in the wings is Yokozuna.
41:14We're back with more WWF action.
41:16As we noted earlier tonight, conspicuous by his absence,
41:19Jim Cornette, the manager of the Heavenly Bodies.
41:22The manager of this extraordinary superstar here, Yokozuna.
41:27Or actually, he's a special advisor.
41:29His manager, Mr. Fuji, is not here either.
41:32Better say Master Fuji.
41:34Master Fuji, huh?
41:35Yokozuna, who has not frequented Monday Night Raw in quite some time.
41:40Yeah, it's been about, what, 30 pounds ago?
41:42Whoa.
41:43Ha ha ha.
41:45What an athlete, however.
41:47Phil Apollo to lock up with Yokozuna.
41:51And Yokozuna, ladies and gentlemen, pretty much alone these days because of
41:56those associating themselves with Yokozuna,
41:58do not want to have anything at all to do with The Undertaker.
42:03They are deathly afraid of this upcoming heart attack tour, and
42:08deathly afraid of the casket match.
42:11You know, I was just thinking, what about the similarities that exist between
42:15Yokozuna's body and Lex Luger's body?
42:17Do you see any?
42:20Contrast, yes.
42:21Similarities, no.
42:24However, it is Twiggy's birthday.
42:27That's an old flame of mine.
42:29Is that right?
42:30Exactly.
42:31Has she gained any weight?
42:33Not since we kind of broke up, we snapped it, you know, the twig.
42:37Yeah.
42:39Let's branch out in other subjects, please.
42:41Good idea.
42:43Apollo to the canvas.
42:45You don't want to match straight with Yokozuna.
42:47Although everybody remembers the last time that Yokozuna squared
42:53off against The Undertaker at the Royal Rumble.
42:55Everybody remembers what happened to The Undertaker.
42:59Will lightning strike twice?
43:01Will history repeat itself on the WWF Heart Attack Tour?
43:06And what about that 40-foot inflatable Undertaker?
43:10I don't think the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase wants any part of him either.
43:14No, as a matter of fact, we saw that earlier yesterday during WWF All-American.
43:21A couple of video shots of the 40-foot inflatable Undertaker that you just
43:26might see outside the arena during the Heart Attack Tour.
43:30And as far as Yokozuna's concerned,
43:32I think he could probably believe that The Undertaker is 40 feet tall.
43:37I think there's a great deal of credence for
43:39the article in the WWF magazine entitled, Yoko Goes Underground.
43:45And he may be doing just that.
43:47He may be buried in that casket.
43:50Come on, get in there.
43:51Hey, ref, what's this all about?
43:53Yokozuna's poured it on.
43:54And of course, the Heart Attack Tour beginning this weekend out in California.
44:01This Thursday night in San Jose.
44:04This Friday night in Sacramento.
44:07In Anaheim on Saturday night.
44:11Notwithstanding back here on the East Coast in Boston this Sunday night.
44:15Yokozuna lucky to be buried.
44:18You hear the chant, USA.
44:20This could be a haunting WWF Heart Attack Tour for Yokozuna.
44:26Speaking of haunting and speaking of USA, Thursday some old houses have charm.
44:32But this one is to die for.
44:34Ali Shidi and William R Moses and
44:37Louis Fletcher star in The Haunting of Seacliff Inn.
44:41A USA World Premiere movie, Thursday night at 9, 8 central time.
44:48Devastating.
44:50Yokozuna, ladies and gentlemen.
44:53Kicking off the WWF Heart Attack Tour, the American portion that is, this weekend.
45:01What a monster this man is.
45:04By the way, speaking of the Heart Attack Tour, believe it or
45:07not, there's gonna be a Paul Bearer lookalike contest during the tour.
45:11And the winners get to go to the Survivor Series.
45:15That's a contest I don't wanna win.
45:16Hey, wait a minute.
45:17Hey, Paul Bearer is doing the thing to Yoko right now.
45:26As far as competition, he's doing an Undertaker-ism.
45:29Yes, indeed.
45:32You see the look on the face of Yokozuna.
45:36That deifies it.
45:37Run, Yoko.
45:38He's a freedom The Undertaker.
45:39Run.
45:42Welcome back, everyone, to more Monday Night Raw.
45:45Randy Savage, I think the look on Yokozuna's face that we saw a few minutes ago
45:49pretty much told the whole story for tonight's action.
45:51What is this, Monday Night Raw or Tales from the Crypt?
45:56Well, we do go from the macabre to the festive.
45:58I mean, anything can happen on Monday Night Raw.
45:59As a matter of fact, next week, Shawn Michaels and
46:03his tag team partner, the Seven Foot Diesel, they're the champions.
46:06They're in action.
46:07Next week, the King's Court has the British Bulldog, Davey Boy Smith.
46:11And from there, Native American Tuk Taka,
46:13The Traitor will be in action as well.
46:15And we're gonna have an update on the condition of Luigi and Frito.
46:19All of that and a great deal more, ladies and gentlemen,
46:22right here next week on Monday Night Raw.
46:24By the way, Randy Savage, are you gonna be here?
46:26Yes, I am.
46:27Let me ask you a question, Vince McMahon.
46:30Are you gonna be here next week?
46:31Yes, I am.
46:32We certainly hope all of you are as well.
46:34Ladies and gentlemen, will you join us for more Monday Night Raw?
