00:00Halloween, a night of costumes, pranks, and ghosts.
00:07Bob Backlund, a man who's been haunted by ghosts for years.
00:12Snapped when his worst fears caught up with him.
00:15His dark side has become unmasked and like Dr.
00:20Jekyll, Bob Backlund has been transformed into a fiend.
00:25One man has stepped forward to meet the monster.
00:28Tonight, Lex Luger meets Bob Backlund on Monday Night Raw.
00:34It's gonna be tonight, you might as well hear it one last time, go ahead, Randy Simon.
00:41Three, two, three, it's Lex Luger on Monday Night Raw.
00:47It's gonna be tonight, you might as well hear it one last time, go ahead, Randy Simon.
00:56It's gonna be tonight, you might as well hear it one last time, go ahead, Randy Simon.
01:01Three, two, three, yeah.
01:05It's gonna be a treat for sure.
01:07One action line up here and take a look if you want.
01:10That's the man in the red, the white, and the blue.
01:13Lex Luger, the man who challenged the former WWF Champion, Bob Backlund,
01:17right here several weeks ago.
01:19And finally, the match is gonna take place right here tonight.
01:23It's Luger against Backlund.
01:26Backlund's coming down the aisle in just a little bit.
01:28You'll recognize him because he'll have on that Howdy Doody mask, yeah.
01:32Yes, and speaking of Halloween, of course,
01:34the one and the only, the scariest man in the WWF, The Undertaker,
01:38is going to be the guest of Jerry The King Lawler in the Special Kings Court.
01:43All about it and a great deal more, yes.
01:45Whoa, yeah, the fireworks are going off here tonight.
01:48Get ready for Luger versus Backlund right now.
01:52Welcome, everyone, to Monday Night Raw.
01:54Vince McMahon here along with the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
01:57Oh, yeah.
01:58Back there, Nicole Matilda.
02:00Yes, indeed, and she's gonna be waving all glory for Lex Luger,
02:04who is anxiously awaiting Bob Backlund as we speak.
02:08What a matchup that's gonna be, Randy Savage.
02:10Bob Backlund's gonna get beat in a little while.
02:13Oh, I don't know about that.
02:14Can Bob Backlund put the cross-face chicken wing on Lex Luger?
02:18We're about to find out.
02:20Here comes the former WWF champion now, Bob Backlund.
02:30And very determined look on the face of the former champion, Bob Backlund.
02:35Introducing first to my left, from Atlanta, GA, made in the USA,
02:41Lex Luger!
02:44Lex Luger with a tremendous ovation.
02:47His opponent, from Princeton, Minnesota, weighing 234 pounds,
02:53Mr. Bob Backlund!
02:57Bob Backlund greeted by a round of boos from this capacitive crowd,
03:00writing himself, oh, he was ready last week.
03:02He was with us in the ring for this matchup last week.
03:05Absolutely.
03:06If anybody needed any more proof that Bob Backlund has snapped,
03:09last week at the end of Monday Night Raw,
03:11he was ready for Lex Luger seven days early.
03:13Ah, wait a minute!
03:14Check it out, Lex Luger showing a little bit of humor.
03:19And Backlund does not appreciate it at all.
03:23Bob Backlund, ladies and gentlemen, does not in any way like to be made a fool of.
03:28He's doing it to himself.
03:29Why shouldn't anybody else do it to him?
03:31In some respects, yes.
03:32But take nothing away from Bob Backlund's rustling credibility.
03:36Former NCAA title holder in the amateur ranks,
03:40coming into the pros.
03:41And of course, everyone knows of his history.
03:43Oh, arm drag takedown again.
03:451978, Bob Backlund becomes a WWE champion.
03:50Look at this.
03:51Lex Luger with another sweep.
03:54Now he's pouting.
03:58I think Backlund is actually appalled with the athletic ability of Lex Luger.
04:03Lex Luger knowing full well, coming into this matchup,
04:08that he could be the latest victim of the cross-face chicken wing,
04:12a hold for which, Randy Savage, Backlund claims there is no escape.
04:16Well, I happen to think that Lex Luger is too powerful for Backlund
04:19to put on that cross-face chicken wing.
04:22Well, I can tell you this.
04:23In Madison Square Garden last Saturday night on the Heart Attack Tour,
04:26Backlund put it on the WWF champion Bret Hart after Bret's match.
04:31Bret didn't see it coming.
04:32You're right.
04:33It was thrown behind, and that's got to be noted.
04:36But it's also got to be noted that once properly applied,
04:39it does its damage because the Hitman's hurting right now.
04:42No doubt about it.
04:44That was Saturday night during the Heart Attack Tour.
04:46After the match was over, from behind,
04:49can Backlund, against a stellar superstar like Lex Luger,
04:53apply that hold face-to-face?
04:56Nice take down there.
04:57Yes.
04:58Nicely done by Backlund.
05:00But Lex Luger gets away.
05:02An escape by Luger.
05:05I think Backlund may have hit his nose on the mat.
05:09Well, it's not going to make him any uglier,
05:11no matter what happened to Bobby.
05:13What, do you think he's some sort of Frankenstein or something?
05:15Yeah, I think he just hangs around the Haunted House.
05:18I think he was seen last at the White House.
05:22That's a haunted house, all right.
05:24Some would say.
05:25Nonetheless, back to more action here, ladies and gentlemen.
05:27Monday Night Raw locking back up.
05:30Backlund working on the rest area of Lex Luger.
05:33You can bet, ladies and gentlemen, somewhere,
05:35looking on Native American Tatanka, his remarks last week.
05:39Tatanka claiming Backlund was definitely going to put
05:42that dreaded cross-face chicken wing on Luger,
05:45and Luger would submit a prediction from Tatanka.
05:48And it's only a prediction.
05:50Look at Bob Backlund.
05:51He looks as white as a ghost.
05:52Maybe he saw a ghost.
05:53Maybe he looked in the mirror before he came out here.
05:56Bob Backlund winding it up here.
06:00Backlund very much respecting the skills of Lex Luger,
06:03and vice versa, I might add.
06:05And again, there's the power alluded to earlier on.
06:08And a kick out.
06:09Nicely done by Bob Backlund.
06:10Head quite back to his feet.
06:11An arm drag takedown by Backlund.
06:13And Backlund being warned by the official.
06:18Back to the rest lot.
06:22Bob Backlund applying more and more pressure.
06:24You know, Tatanka would like nothing better than for
06:26Backlund to obtain victory over Lex Luger,
06:28because that, of course, would sort of demoralize Lex Luger,
06:31I would think, and then make him somewhat lesser the competitor,
06:35so Tatanka would think when Tatanka and Lex Luger get it on.
06:38Right.
06:39Maybe Tatanka feels he can't beat Lex Luger,
06:41so he needs Bob Backlund to do it,
06:43but I don't think it's going to get done either way.
06:45Well, it could be.
06:46You can't take anything away from Bob Backlund's wrestling skill,
06:48ladies and gentlemen, but let's face it.
06:50He is trying to be someone he is not.
06:52I mean, when he comes out here and gives you those 14-letter words,
06:56but actually he misuses his vocabulary.
06:59He's trying to speak above everyone else,
07:01and I mean, it seems to me there are also some other aspects of Bob Backlund
07:05in which he is attempting to be someone he is not.
07:09You're right. He's a hypocrite.
07:10That's not a 14-letter word.
07:12It's around 12, so I'm talking on your level.
07:15Wait a minute. There it is.
07:16No, no, no. Almost.
07:17Got away.
07:18Almost.
07:19And Lex escaping.
07:20And Backlund now setting up Lex Luger to the buckle
07:24right back out to the far side now.
07:26And Backlund with momentum belly to belly.
07:29Is that what we're going to see?
07:30Yes.
07:31Nice suplex by Bob Backlund.
07:34Backlund taking his time.
07:36Now with a cover on Luger.
07:38And an easy kick out by Lex Luger.
07:40Ah-ha.
07:41Backlund wants to beat him with a pin.
07:43He's not going for the cross-face takeaway.
07:45Maybe he doesn't think he can beat Lex Luger with it.
07:47Maybe he doesn't think he can get it on him.
07:49I think he's just taking his time, Backlund.
07:52I think Bob Backlund thinks he has the momentum right now,
07:54and he does.
07:55Clearly, Bob Backlund is just biding his time.
07:58What if Bob Backlund doesn't have a plan?
08:00What if he's not even from this planet?
08:02What if he doesn't exist,
08:03and we're watching Lex Luger by himself?
08:06Uh, how much of that candy have you been eating
08:10before the broadcaster?
08:11Oh, my goodness.
08:13Right down on the shoulder.
08:15That could be the opening Bob Backlund needs
08:18to apply that cross-face chicken wing.
08:21Oh, look at this.
08:22That's Tatanka.
08:24Native American Tatanka is looking on.
08:27Stay with us for more action.
08:30Welcome back to more Monday Night Raw.
08:32During the break, we sent one of our cameras
08:34back to the dressing room area
08:35to try and pick up Native American Tatanka.
08:37He was nowhere to be seen.
08:39So, nonetheless, here we are back with more action.
08:42The bear hug apply.
08:43Bob Backlund on Lex Luger.
08:45Backlund headed to the Survivor Series Thanksgiving Eve.
08:49The pay-per-view extravaganza.
08:50Wait a minute, there it is.
08:51There it is.
08:52Look at the cross-face chicken wing.
08:53Not quite.
08:54In the ropes.
08:55Luger quickly to the ropes.
08:57Come on, get out of there.
08:59Backlund, ladies and gentlemen,
09:00to meet World Wrestling Federation champion
09:03Hitman Bret Hart at the Survivor Series.
09:07That's where Backlund has an opportunity
09:09to once again be the World Wrestling Federation champion.
09:14And what momentum Backlund will have
09:17if he can defeat Lex Luger here tonight.
09:20Of course, according to Bob Backlund,
09:22he never lost the belt.
09:23Well, yes, and to a certain extent, that's true.
09:27Arnold's going, his former manager
09:29throwing in the towel, ladies and gentlemen.
09:31Backlund claimed he never, ever surrendered.
09:35He never verbally surrendered to his opponent.
09:39But, nonetheless, Bob Backlund, the former champion,
09:43trying to show his skills here tonight
09:45on Monday Night Raw.
09:46Backlund with several attempts at the cross-face chicken wing
09:49that have failed to date.
09:50And Lex Luger has to figure something.
09:53A headbutt might do it.
09:54All right, Lex Luger, go ahead and get him.
09:56All right, and it breaks a hold.
09:57I'd love to see Bob Backlund get beat right now by Lex Luger
10:00because that would really put a stupid look
10:04on Bob Backlund's face.
10:05And a boot to the midsection.
10:07Lex Luger now with another one.
10:09Luger, perhaps, with the momentum.
10:11That's Backlund face first,
10:12no, shoulder first to the buckle.
10:14Bob Backlund thought Lex Luger was gonna be a tune-up
10:17for the Ant-Man.
10:18Is he wrong?
10:19Backlund to the buckle again.
10:20Look at him.
10:21He's just hanging on to the ropes.
10:22Backlund making sure he's close to the ropes
10:24to stop the momentum of Luger.
10:25I think he's just hurt.
10:27Luger, nonetheless, pulls him out.
10:28From the far side now and down to the midsection.
10:31Lex Luger with Bob Backlund right where he wants him.
10:34And Luger with a high knee last.
10:35It's all Lex Luger right now, brother.
10:38It's red, white, and blue.
10:39Lex Luger is gonna nail Backlund with that forearm.
10:43Or maybe he gets him in the Rebel Rack.
10:45We'll see.
10:46Backlund has to rope it up.
10:47He goes, no, to the body slam.
10:49Almost a power slam.
10:51Lex Luger's still got the momentum.
10:53Lex Luger.
10:54Wait a minute.
10:55Tataka coming in from behind.
10:56What's going on?
10:57Tataka with the apron.
10:59Luger going for it.
11:00From behind.
11:01Backlund coming up.
11:02Oh, no.
11:03No.
11:04Backlund.
11:05Backlund hasn't cinched in.
11:06Don't tell me.
11:07A crossface chicken wing has cinched in.
11:09Luger can't get to the rope.
11:12Lex Luger fighting it for all he's worth.
11:14Don't give up, Lex.
11:16Don't give up.
11:17Fight it.
11:18No, no, no.
11:19Wait a minute.
11:20Tataka gets in.
11:21Native American Tataka.
11:22What's that?
11:23Luger must have given up.
11:24He didn't give up.
11:25Oh, wait a minute.
11:26Tataka.
11:27Look at this.
11:28Backlund still has on the hold.
11:29And Tataka continuing to fail away on Lex Luger.
11:32Get out of there.
11:33Stop him, ref.
11:34Stop him.
11:35What's going on?
11:36More officials arriving here in a scene.
11:38This is too much.
11:39Backlund won't release the hold.
11:41Tataka kicking away on Lex Luger, who's hapless.
11:45Tataka continuing.
11:46More officials, ladies and gentlemen.
11:48This is ridiculous.
11:50Finally, Backlund releases the hold.
11:53Tataka backs off.
11:54Wait a minute.
11:55He's right back on top of Luger.
11:57Something has to be done about this.
11:59It seems like the officials can't even maintain control.
12:02We have a lunatic like Tataka here.
12:04Get in between.
12:07Bob Backlund, ladies and gentlemen,
12:08put the cross-faced chicken wing on Lex Luger.
12:11I do not believe Luger gave up.
12:13Wait a minute.
12:14Backlund's coming back and doing it again.
12:15You've got to be real.
12:16He's got it cinched in again.
12:18This is senseless.
12:19The officials can't do anything about it.
12:21Randy, you've got to look in your eye.
12:23Wait a minute.
12:24You've got to look in your eye.
12:25Don't tell me nothing.
12:26Don't move.
12:27Randy Savage.
12:28Don't move.
12:29This is not your fight.
12:30I can't stand this.
12:32Wait a minute.
12:33Wait a minute.
12:34No, Randy.
12:35Randy Savage in the ring.
12:36Randy.
12:37Diving in there.
12:38Randy Savage trying to pull Bob Backlund off of Lex Luger.
12:41Savage hands him off.
12:43Savage wailing away.
12:44Savage pounding away on the former champion Bob Backlund.
12:47And Bob Backlund getting out of the dodge,
12:50getting out of the ring.
12:51Randy Savage taking matters into his own hands.
12:54Randy Savage, ladies and gentlemen,
12:56helping his friend Lex Luger.
12:58The officials could not do anything about it.
13:02The only question is, will Randy Savage suffer a suspicion
13:06or a fine because of his actions in the ring?
13:09Remember, he's not supposed to be in there at all.
13:13Well, I can say if somebody had to do something,
13:16and it was Randy Savage, ladies and gentlemen,
13:18Backlund had to hold on Lex Luger.
13:20He was not going to let go.
13:22Backlund tried to make a statement,
13:24and indeed, he did just that.
13:26We just hope the injury is not anything permanent.
13:32Welcome back, everyone, to more Monday Night Raw.
13:34Vince McMahon, Macho Man Randy Savage.
13:36And what was it like in there, Randy Savage?
13:39I'm going to tell you something, man.
13:40In fact, I don't want to tell you.
13:42Just read my eyes right now.
13:44It's hard to sit in this chair.
13:46I'm telling you, Tony.
13:48I'm telling you something.
13:49Lex Luger's hurt right now, and there's no reason for it.
13:51Do you think there's any reason for it, McMahon?
13:53Talk to me, brother.
13:55Bob Backlund, you're out of line, brother.
13:57And I ain't going to say that more than once.
13:58You understand that?
14:00Indeed, Bob Backlund with his actions, ladies and gentlemen,
14:02far out of line.
14:03But speaking of action, cool down, Randy Savage.
14:06Let's talk about now the action zone,
14:08which will head your way this coming Sunday,
14:1012 noon Eastern time.
14:12Let's take a look.
14:13Heavy duty.
14:14I'm the biggest man in the WWF.
14:20Heavyweight.
14:21The man, the monster, the legend.
14:26The bigger they come.
14:28Mabel against Yokozuna.
14:29Over 1,000 pounds in the ring.
14:31The harder they fall.
14:33It's going to be brutal.
14:34Bazaar!
14:36I rule the action zone.
14:38Next Sunday on WWF Action Zone.
14:44The action zone, every Sunday afternoon, 12 noon, 11 Central on USA.
14:49And here comes the young man who really gave it his all yesterday afternoon.
14:54Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the one, two, three kid.
14:57Ended up with a bad guy, Razor alone.
14:59They came so close to becoming tag team champions
15:03at the expense of the reigning title holders,
15:06the seven-foot Diesel, as well as the boy toy Shawn Michaels.
15:10What a matchup.
15:11A tremendous championship matchup on the action zone.
15:15And speaking of action, the one, two, three kid is ready to give it a go.
15:21All right, the one, two, three kid.
15:23Ready to lock up in single competition against Tony DeVito.
15:26Don't expect too much from the kid.
15:28I don't believe we'll see the same style.
15:30We may see it, but I don't think we'll see the same style
15:33that we saw yesterday afternoon.
15:35I mean, he was battered, bruised, and everything else.
15:38Imagine the kid when he tagged in,
15:40and all of a sudden, standing in the ring was a seven-foot Diesel.
15:44It was not a pretty sight.
15:46It's a lot of non-pretty sights around here.
15:49Well, it's Halloween.
15:50What can you expect?
15:51Tell you what I don't expect.
15:53I don't expect Bob Ackland to get away with all the stuff
15:55he's been getting away with around here in the WWF,
15:58and I'm blaming Jack Tunney about it.
16:00And, Tunney, if your own officials can't break up things
16:03and get things straight, well, then you can find or suspend me,
16:06but I'll take my chances.
16:08I don't care.
16:09No, Randy, calm down.
16:10Calm down nothing.
16:12DeVito, tight waist on the one, two, three kid,
16:15hooking the elbow, nice takeover.
16:18One, two, three kid.
16:21It's headed to the Survivor Series, ladies and gentlemen.
16:23Yes, the one, two, three kid along with the bad guy, Reigns Ramon,
16:27joining the other bad guys on the team, the British Bulldog,
16:31as well as the HeadShrinkers as the bad guys square off
16:34against the Teamsters.
16:35More on that later on.
16:36Coming off the rope right now to DeVito.
16:38And down goes the kid.
16:40DeVito over the one, two, three kid right back.
16:43Nicely executed and in front of there.
16:45Nice drop.
16:46Good drop kick indeed.
16:48Tell you, the one, two, three kid and Alondra Blaze have been skydiving lately.
16:51I think I'm going to take it up and land right on Bob Backlund's head.
16:55Actually, that was a feature in the WWF magazine,
16:59a skydiving adventure where Alondra Blaze and the one, two, three kid.
17:02Right now, you can bet the kid is thinking he's about five miles up
17:06because DeVito's pounding away.
17:10And coming off the rope now and DeVito and a slam.
17:14And unquestionably, the one, two, three kid
17:16suffering from yesterday in a count of three.
17:18No, he didn't.
17:19No, no, almost.
17:21The one, two, three kid not quite himself this week.
17:23But he got out of that.
17:28And another elbow misses by DeVito.
17:30DeVito a little slow on the mark.
17:31And, of course, that is the element.
17:33The one, two, three kid brings to the WWF his speed, his explosiveness,
17:37and his high-risk maneuver.
17:39The kid, now here we go.
17:40The kid, oh, wow.
17:42What a maneuver.
17:44DeVito off the rope.
17:47The kid, a kick to the chest, and another one upstairs.
17:51And I must say, I'm impressed with the kid coming off it now.
17:54Yes.
17:55The one, two, three kid with a stellar tag team performance
17:59just yesterday afternoon with the bad guy Razor Remote
18:02right back this week.
18:04Nice maneuver and no cover.
18:07The one, two, three kid in there against Tony DeVito,
18:10our big, strong, strapping individual who had a go as well
18:13just yesterday afternoon against Dwayne The Clown.
18:18And the one, two, three kid, I believe, can put DeVito away.
18:22The kid with a scoop and a slam.
18:25Impressive when you consider the weight of Tony DeVito.
18:28I know.
18:29He comes in a high-risk maneuver.
18:30The one, two, three kid, ladies and gentlemen, going up to the top.
18:34He's at home there just like other people on the map.
18:38Drops the leg from the top end.
18:40I think this one's going to be over.
18:43Yes, indeed.
18:45Chalk up a victory for the one, two, three kid
18:47who brings that momentum into the Survivor Series.
18:50And yesterday, the kid proved unquestionably
18:53that he is just as good functioning as a unit
18:56in terms of tag team coordination as he is individually.
19:01And he's every bit or more better
19:04than Bob Beckman ever thought he was.
19:07Oh, you still have Bob Beckman on the brain.
19:10Uh-oh, it looks like we're heading out west.
19:12Strap it up, folks. Here we go.
19:14Tumbleweed to flood.
19:16Time for the Survivor Series report.
19:19Happy Halloween, everybody.
19:21It's Todd Pettengill with your Survivor Series report
19:23here on Monday Night Raw.
19:25I want to pause for just a second.
19:27For those of you who live in my neighborhood
19:29and went trick-or-treating at my house,
19:31I want you to know I had a surveillance camera set up,
19:34and I expect whoever took my spanky little rascal's lawn jockey
19:37to return it before I get home.
19:39I'm going to pause for just a second.
19:41For those of you who live in my neighborhood
19:43and went trick-or-treating at my house,
19:45I want you to know I had a surveillance camera set up,
19:47and I expect whoever took my spanky little rascal's lawn jockey
19:50to return it before I get home.
19:52No questions asked.
19:54All right, as incredible as it may seem,
19:56the 8th annual WWF Survivor Series is only 3 weeks away.
19:593 weeks from this Wednesday night,
20:01November the 23rd, 8 Eastern, 5 Pacific,
20:03live from the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, Texas,
20:06and only on pay-per-view cable television.
20:08Now, this is the WWF,
20:10which means it's the biggest and the best,
20:12and you never know what's going to happen.
20:14So call the cable system you're watching right now
20:16and place your order for the WWF Survivor Series.
20:19All right, I am set to run the entire card
20:21for what's sure to be more heart-stopping action
20:24than the new NBC series ER.
20:27If you missed the news I announced here last week on Raw,
20:29it's absolutely true.
20:31The WWF Championship is on the line at Survivor Series,
20:35as the Hitman Bret Hart defends the title against Bob Backlund.
20:39However, over the weekend,
20:41Mr. Backlund challenged the Hitman
20:43by demanding this be a submission match.
20:46Will the Hitman accept the challenge?
20:48Stay tuned to the WWF television network
20:50to find out. We will keep you posted.
20:53We've already seen here tonight
20:55another vintage performance by Bob Backlund
20:57as he executed the cross-faced chicken wing
21:00in a crazed attack on Lex Luger.
21:03One can only wonder what's going to happen
21:05between the Hitman and Backlund at Survivor Series.
21:08All right, speaking of Survivor Series,
21:10San Antonio, Texas, will be the setting
21:13for the ultimate casket match
21:15between the awesome Undertaker
21:17and the former WWF champion, Yokozuna.
21:20Did you hear me, Yokozuna? I said casket match.
21:23Casket, casket, casket, casket!
21:25And for those of you expecting a repeat performance
21:28of the Royal Rumble, where ten other WWF superstars
21:31assisted Yokozuna in defeating the Undertaker,
21:34forget about it,
21:36because the WWF has enlisted the premier tough guy
21:39to act as a special troubleshooting referee.
21:42This individual will be stationed outside the ring
21:45to make sure no one interferes.
21:47He's Walker, Texas Ranger,
21:50the one and only Chuck Norris.
21:53Now, in addition to those two awesome main events,
21:56let's talk about the actual Survivor Series itself.
21:59We're talking five-man tag team elimination matches.
22:02They must work together as a team
22:04and strive to survive.
22:06Check this out. Guts and Glory will take on
22:09the Million Dollar Team.
22:11For Guts and Glory, it's Made in the USA Lex Luger,
22:14Adam Bomb, Big Ol' Mabel, and the Smokin' Guns
22:18taking on the Million Dollar Team,
22:20managed, of course, by Ted DiBiase.
22:23We're talking Tatanka, King Kong Bundy,
22:26Bam Bam Bigelow, and Jim Cornette's Heavenly Bodies.
22:30Absolutely anything can happen
22:32when this much talent and power is in the squared circle.
22:35Now, here's the second Survivor Series match
22:37that has been signed.
22:39The Bad Guys against the Teamsters.
22:42For the Bad Guys, it's Intercontinental Champion
22:44and lead bad guy, Reyes Ramon.
22:46He'll be joined by the 1-2-3 Kid,
22:48the British Bulldog, Davey Boy Smith,
22:51and the Head Shrinkers.
22:53They will lock up with the Teamsters,
22:55featuring tag team champions Diesel and Shawn Michaels,
22:59Owen Hart, Jim the Anvil Neidhart,
23:02and Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
23:05If you're sitting in the front row,
23:07be ready to move quick,
23:08because these guys could be absolutely anywhere.
23:11All right, now check this out.
23:12You will also see Doink Dink Wink and Pink
23:15take on Lawler Queezy Sleazy and Cheesy.
23:17Got it?
23:18It's Clowns R Us against the Royal Family.
23:22Can you imagine?
23:23I mean, this thing could wind up being
23:25Dink and Wink and Pink against Lawler.
23:28I love it.
23:29And you can only see it
23:30if you call your local cable company
23:32and place your order
23:33for the 8th Annual WWF Survivor Series.
23:37Three weeks from this Wednesday night,
23:398 o'clock Eastern, 5 Pacific,
23:40from San Antonio's Freeman Coliseum,
23:43live on pay-per-view.
23:45On this, the scariest night of the year,
23:48All Hallows' Eve,
23:49remember three important things.
23:51Check your candy before you eat it,
23:53old smelly eggs smash better than fresh ones,
23:57and you can't see the Survivor Series
23:59unless you call your local cable company
24:01and place your order.
24:03Still to come here this Halloween night
24:05on Monday Night Raw,
24:06King Kong Bundy,
24:07The Anvil Jim Neidhart,
24:09and a very special King's Court
24:11with the man who controls the souls of the universe,
24:14The Undertaker.
24:16All right, thank you very much, Todd.
24:17Pat Gell, what you're looking at right now,
24:18ladies and gentlemen,
24:19highlights from Saturday afternoon's
24:21WWF Charity Softball Game.
24:23Some of the superstars of the WWF
24:25pitting their skills, if you would,
24:27against the Union Recreational Women's
24:29All-Stars of Union, New Jersey,
24:31and the women almost beat the WWF superstars.
24:34It was unbelievable, but it was fun,
24:37and all in the name of charity.
24:38Oh, yeah.
24:39Strike three, you're out.
24:41Who's running the family?
24:43We'll be back with more.
24:49King Kong Bundy,
24:50a monster in the squared circle,
24:52ready for action.
24:53Randy Savage, what would have happened
24:54if Bundy had shown up
24:56for Saturday afternoon's
24:57Charity Softball Game?
24:58He could have been the backstop right there.
25:01I mean, take a look at this monster,
25:03would you?
25:04King Kong Bundy is big enough
25:06to be his own Survivor Series team.
25:09Yes, indeed.
25:10Bundy is ready for action.
25:13Monday Night Raw,
25:14brought to you by Double Mint Gum.
25:16Fresh taste for you,
25:17fresh breath for you-know-who.
25:20I do?
25:21Who might that be?
25:22Well, uh, it's a person
25:24that admires you from afar.
25:26Very afar.
25:27I see.
25:28Bundy, ladies and gentlemen,
25:29ready to lock up with his opponent,
25:31Burt Centeno.
25:33Look at the differential in size,
25:36and Centeno is not a small man.
25:39Bundy is just mammoth.
25:42He's huge.
25:43Bundy on the Million Dollar Team,
25:45you might say he's the anchor
25:46of the Million Dollar Team.
25:48I think Bundy's starting to lose his hair.
25:50You know, you've got a point.
25:52It's that male pattern baldness thing
25:54we've been talking about.
25:55Exactly.
25:56But we won't say that to his face.
25:58Or mine.
25:59And, uh, Centeno to the buckle.
26:02King Kong Bundy,
26:03ladies and gentlemen,
26:04teaming up with his teammates,
26:06the Million Dollar Team,
26:07the best-
26:08Uh-oh, look at that clothesline,
26:09and Centeno is having his problems,
26:11just as I believe the Million Dollar Team
26:14will have their problems
26:16against Guts and Glory.
26:19Lex Luger out of bomb.
26:20Mabel and the Smoking Guns
26:23teaming up.
26:24No word on Lex Luger
26:25and his injury, Vince, or what?
26:27We're gonna check it out.
26:28As a matter of fact,
26:29we're told that, uh, Luger
26:31currently has an ice pack
26:32on that shoulder.
26:34And, uh, trying to work out the kinks.
26:36Apparently, there's nothing severe.
26:38We're gonna try and get back
26:39and get a report on Lex Luger's
26:40condition later on.
26:41They ought to put an ice pack
26:42on Bob Backlund's head.
26:44Good point.
26:46King Kong Monday.
26:47Pretty much mauling Centeno.
26:50By the way, ooh, look at this.
26:52Uh, yesterday afternoon
26:53on the Action Zone,
26:55do you believe Mike Zitka
26:57and, uh, Greg Gumball
26:59were actually tuning in?
27:00We had a special Peacock cam
27:02at another network looking in,
27:04and we caught the guys
27:05doing the-the pregame NFL shows
27:07watching the Action Zone.
27:09Zitka and his partner Gumball
27:12were sort of reminiscent
27:13of other-
27:14to other television celebrities,
27:16you're saying.
27:17Yeah, I think it was, uh,
27:18Thurman Thomas and Frank Perdue.
27:21Uh, no, those weren't
27:23the two I had in mind.
27:25King Kong Monday continuing,
27:26ladies and gentlemen,
27:27to dominate his opponent
27:28Burt Centeno.
27:29Yet to come,
27:30the King's Court
27:31and The Undertaker,
27:32a special hero on Halloween,
27:34The Undertaker,
27:35and Paul Bearer
27:36will be the guest
27:37of Jerry the King Lawler.
27:39You think they're gonna drop him
27:40in the casket?
27:43I got a-I got a suggestion
27:45for who I'd like to drop
27:46in the casket.
27:47Yep.
27:48And that would be?
27:49Bob Backlund and his fan club.
27:51Well, that'd be room for two,
27:52I guess.
27:53Uh-oh, and Bundy
27:54charging Centeno.
27:57And Centeno is, uh,
27:58looks like he just about
27:59struck out.
28:01This just in, McMahon.
28:03The Giants win
28:04the World Series.
28:05Now what?
28:06Went two and three here.
28:08And-and Bundy wins
28:10his match with a count of five.
28:11What do you mean the Giants
28:12win the World Series?
28:13Oh, the Yamamuri Giants
28:14in Japan.
28:16Oh, I see.
28:17Oh, my goodness.
28:19Centeno is out of here.
28:22Bundy, the only man
28:23in the WWF
28:24to insist on a five count,
28:25yet there's another man
28:26who insists on everyone
28:27paying their taxes.
28:29Dead or alive.
28:31So, you thought that
28:32being six feet under,
28:34you wouldn't have to pay
28:35your taxes anymore.
28:37Well, you were wrong.
28:39Because I knew last week
28:41when I thought you were
28:42a tax cheat, I was right.
28:44And I was.
28:45You are a tax cheat.
28:47Well, you were.
28:48Ha, ha, ha, ha.
28:50And it seems,
28:51after reviewing
28:52your September 15th
28:53quarterly taxes,
28:55I've found a slight error.
28:57You see, I'm sure
28:58you and your whole family
28:59enjoyed your little girl's
29:01birthday dinner.
29:02But you see,
29:03that dinner wasn't
29:04tax deductible.
29:06You owe $121.37.
29:11So maybe if I repossess
29:15these fresh flowers,
29:17that'll settle your debt.
29:19But wait a minute.
29:20If you've cheated once,
29:22I'm sure you've cheated
29:23more than once.
29:24So maybe this requires
29:26further investigation
29:27by me, IRS.
29:29So remember,
29:31even after you're
29:32six feet under,
29:33you still have to
29:34pay your taxes.
29:36A public service announcement
29:38provided by IRS.
29:40Scheduled up next,
29:41oh yeah,
29:42here he comes,
29:43The Undertaker.
29:49Now, I would like to welcome
29:52you peons to a very
29:54spooky edition
29:56of the King's Court.
29:58Ha, ha, ha, ha.
29:59And you know,
30:00as I look around
30:01this audience here,
30:02I bet that Halloween
30:04is your favorite holiday.
30:07Judging from your faces,
30:09you people are so ugly,
30:11I'll bet when you look
30:12in the mirror,
30:13your reflections throw up.
30:14Is that right?
30:15Huh?
30:16Oh my goodness.
30:18Well, my guests
30:19on the King's Court this week
30:22are a couple of guys
30:25whom it's Halloween
30:26for 365 days a year.
30:29These two guys,
30:30as a matter of fact,
30:31can go trick-or-treating
30:32as is.
30:33I'm talking about
30:36Yokozuna's opponent
30:39at Survivor Series,
30:41none other than
30:43The Undertaker
30:45and partner.
30:47What an ovation,
30:48ladies and gentlemen.
30:49Yes,
30:50The Undertaker.
30:52It's getting dark.
30:54We are cool
30:55here in the arena.
30:57It's Halloween right now,
30:58Brandy Savage.
30:59Spooky as the spooky does,
31:01but nothing scarier
31:02than Lawler's face.
31:04Ha, ha, ha, ha.
31:06Unless
31:07it's, uh,
31:09someone from the dark side
31:11looming.
31:12His presence.
31:13Take a look.
31:17How can somebody
31:18from the dark side
31:19send so much light
31:20all around the world
31:21as The Undertaker?
31:23Count Dracula,
31:24eat your heart out.
31:29The Undertaker
31:30on his way
31:31to the Survivor Series,
31:32on his way
31:33to finish
31:34Yokozuna
31:35perhaps once and for all
31:37in the Kaskett Mansion.
31:40And just to make sure,
31:42as was mentioned earlier on
31:43in the Survivor Series report,
31:45that things don't get out of hand.
31:47Oh, yes!
31:48There's the light,
31:50the explosion,
31:51the power of The Undertaker.
31:53When that music kicks in,
31:54I get chills.
31:56I know The Undertaker
31:58is with us.
32:00And Yokozuna's getting chills,
32:01all right.
32:02Deathly afraid,
32:03no pun intended,
32:04of the Kaskett Mansion.
32:05That man right there.
32:07And, of course,
32:08the Texas Ranger,
32:09Chuck Norris,
32:10will be at ringside
32:11at the Survivor Series
32:13to ensure
32:14that no man
32:15will interfere
32:16in that matchup.
32:18The Undertaker
32:20just in time
32:21for Halloween.
32:22Uh,
32:25look, I said this was gonna be
32:26a spooky edition
32:27of the King's Court,
32:28but we could use
32:29a little bit of light,
32:30if you don't mind.
32:33Getting scared,
32:34Lola.
32:37Even like it heals.
32:41How does he do that?
32:46Are you comfortable now?
32:50Uh, he doesn't look
32:51too comfortable.
32:52You didn't have to pay
32:53an electric bill up there.
32:55I want to start out
32:56talking to you, Paul Bearer.
32:59I want to ask you
33:00if you know the meaning
33:02of the word
33:03deja vu.
33:06Huh?
33:07That's when you feel like
33:08history is repeating itself.
33:12Do you get that feeling now,
33:13Paul Bearer,
33:14with Survivor Series
33:17creeping up on us?
33:19Do you get the feeling
33:20that history may repeat itself
33:23because, you know,
33:24the last...
33:29Well, go ahead
33:30and make some history.
33:31You know, the last time
33:33The Undertaker
33:34faced Yokozuna
33:35in a casket match,
33:38well, I think
33:41you know what happened.
33:43Oh, yes.
33:45Let me set this down
33:46for just a moment.
33:47That's my royal throne.
33:52That's okay.
33:53That's okay.
33:54That's fine.
33:55Oh, Mr. King...
33:57No, I'd rather call you
33:59Mr. Lawler.
34:00Apparently, you haven't done
34:03your royal research,
34:05have you?
34:07Royal research?
34:08What do you mean?
34:09Oh, there's a new history
34:11book out now.
34:13The history of my Undertaker.
34:16The Undertaker's
34:18greatest matches.
34:20His turnstone.
34:23Have you seen it?
34:25I see it now.
34:27Well, look at it
34:29a little bit closer.
34:31Look at some of these people.
34:34Some of these top wrestlers
34:36that have passed
34:37through the World Wrestling Federation.
34:39Take this man, for example.
34:41He faced The Undertaker.
34:42He's gone!
34:44Yes!
34:45Okay, okay.
34:46I realize that The Undertaker
34:49has gotten rid
34:51of a lot of World Wrestling
34:53Federation superstars,
34:54but we're talking about
34:55Yokozuna!
34:57One by one,
34:58he's turning the page.
35:00Who do we come to?
35:03Oh, yes!
35:04Yokozuna!
35:06The Royal Rumble.
35:08The casket match.
35:10And yes, Mr. Lawler,
35:12I know the meaning of deja vu.
35:15And this time,
35:16at the Survivor Series,
35:18I promise you,
35:20it won't be deja vu.
35:22There will be ten
35:23of Yokozuna's friends
35:25running down to save him
35:27from the casket.
35:28No, there won't!
35:29And you know why!
35:31Wait a minute.
35:33Ah, shut up, you moron!
35:34The Undertaker moving
35:35toward Lawler.
35:36Get out!
35:38Wait a minute,
35:39let me just ask this one question.
35:40One question.
35:42If you're so gravely confident,
35:46then I want to ask you why
35:48at Survivor Series,
35:50in this casket match,
35:52why is there going to be
35:53a very special
35:55troubleshooting referee?
35:57You've gone out and gotten
35:58the Texas Ranger,
36:00Chuck Norris,
36:01that karate man,
36:02to be the special referee!
36:05Oh, yeah!
36:07If you're not afraid
36:09of the Yokozuna,
36:11well, if you're so confident,
36:13then why have you got
36:14Chuck Norris as a special referee?
36:16Once again, Mr. Lawler,
36:19you let your mouth run
36:21before your brain works!
36:23We didn't get Chuck Norris
36:25to come in to be
36:26the special referee!
36:28The World Wrestling Federation
36:30made the decision
36:32because they didn't
36:33want to happen
36:34what happened
36:35at Survivor Series.
36:36There'll be no déjà vu!
36:39Trick or treat, huh?
36:43There comes a time
36:46in everyone's life
36:49where they must be held
36:51accountable for their actions.
36:55Yokozuna,
36:57your time has come.
37:02That most heinous crime
37:04that you committed
37:06when you had ten
37:08of the top superstars
37:10of the World Wrestling Federation
37:12come down and aid you,
37:15not only was it a crime
37:17against The Undertaker,
37:19but a crime against
37:21all of my creatures
37:23of the night.
37:25And now,
37:27you have to face
37:29all of my creatures
37:31of the night.
37:37These,
37:39these same creatures
37:41that would not let me rest,
37:43the ones who brought me back
37:46to do justice.
37:48Yokozuna,
37:50the time has come
37:53for you to pay.
37:56And at the Survivor Series,
37:58Yokozuna,
38:02when the call goes out,
38:05you will know
38:07it is time for you
38:10to rest
38:13in peace.
38:16Oh, yeah, the casket match,
38:18ladies and gentlemen,
38:19at the Survivor Series.
38:22The troubleshooting referee
38:24to make sure no one interferes.
38:27Yes, ladies and gentlemen,
38:29someone will be resting in peace.
38:31Go ahead, Undertaker,
38:33look at the law.
38:35Oh, we have a demise of a king.
38:40Owen's last chance.
38:42On the premiere of the Action Zone,
38:44O-Pai tried to get by the Hitman
38:46with a little help from a friend.
38:49But what the anvil started,
38:51the Bulldog finished.
38:53And as a result,
38:54Brett kept his title.
38:56But now, all four meet in the ring
38:59as the family feud continues.
39:02The Hitman and the Bulldog
39:04battle Owen and the anvil.
39:06Next week on Monday Night Raw.
39:11And we return to action here on Monday Night Raw.
39:14It's the Burlington Bear Man making his entrance.
39:18All right, ladies and gentlemen,
39:20here are your Spanish commentators
39:22Edrico Carlos Cabrera.
39:24Yes, the simulcast going on.
39:27And it will be a tag team matchup next week
39:30with these two teaming up
39:32to face the WWF Champion Bret Hart
39:35and his tag team partner.
39:37Baby Boy spent the finish Bulldog.
39:42You got that right.
39:44Tony Roy, ladies and gentlemen,
39:45to meet individual competition
39:47against that monster there.
39:50Come on.
39:51Appropriately in the ring for Halloween.
39:55The anvil, the Tony Roy,
39:57has him in the corner there.
39:58What's he gonna do?
39:59Halls him up, yes!
40:01Over the hip, nice maneuver.
40:03You have to wonder, Randy Savage,
40:04exactly where was Jim The Anvil Neidhart
40:07last Saturday afternoon?
40:08Was he hanging around the White House,
40:10around Pennsylvania Avenue?
40:11Anywhere, maybe.
40:12I think he's on the FBI's
40:14and David Letterman's top ten list of suspects,
40:17but they only got one.
40:19A rather eccentric,
40:22if not a bit on the deranged side,
40:24Jim The Anvil Neidhart.
40:26The anvil now with Tony Roy,
40:28and, whoa, hauls him up with a hip.
40:30Nicely done.
40:32Jim The Anvil Neidhart.
40:33And there's his partner, Owen.
40:34That's exactly what's gonna happen
40:36to you, Bulldog, and to you, Bret,
40:39when we get our hands on you.
40:41Oh, really?
40:42We will anxiously await that matchup.
40:44Roy upside down, Jim The Anvil Neidhart
40:46is having his way with Roy,
40:47and, of course, you'll see.
40:49Oh, come on.
40:50Tony Roy's gotta get out of the corner.
40:53We're gonna see, ladies and gentlemen,
40:55Owen Hart and Jim The Anvil Neidhart
40:57team up on the Survivor Series.
40:59As we found out earlier on,
41:00teaming up as well with the-
41:01Bulldog, you're my brother, Bret.
41:02When me and the anvil get our hands on you next week,
41:05you're gonna be hurt just like him.
41:07There's another scary face.
41:09Yep.
41:11I was making reference to the Survivor Series
41:13with these two teaming up.
41:14Uh-oh, look at this with the tag team champions.
41:16Roy now with momentum, yes!
41:18And not much, actually.
41:20All right, Randy Savage, drum roll.
41:22This is your time again.
41:23Ladies and gentlemen, the Macho Man Randy Savage
41:26doing promo copy for the USA Network.
41:29Go ahead, Randy.
41:30Is there a sucker born every minute?
41:32I think so.
41:33Christopher Walken and Lorraine Bracco
41:35starring in Scam,
41:36the USA movie, Wednesday night at 9,
41:398 Central Time.
41:41How'd I do?
41:42Well enough to do it again.
41:44One more time for the tag.
41:46Is there a sucker born every minute?
41:49Christopher Walken and Lorraine Bracco
41:51starring in Scam,
41:52the USA movie, Wednesday night at 9,
41:548 Central Time,
41:55and I'm not doing it anymore.
41:56I'm on strike.
41:57Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
41:59The anvil.
42:00Certainly not on strike at the moment.
42:02Applying more pressure to Tony Roy.
42:05I'll tell you, we saw action in the action
42:07by yesterday afternoon,
42:09yesterday afternoon,
42:10but I'll guarantee you,
42:11in the tag match next week here on Monday Night Raw,
42:14the British Bulldog and the WWF Champion,
42:16Bret Hart, against these two jimokis,
42:18we're gonna see a lot of action.
42:20Stargate was the number one movie this weekend,
42:22and I believe that the Hitman and the Bulldog
42:25is gonna be the number one tag team next weekend.
42:28Oh, lying to that event,
42:29and Jim, the anvil knight,
42:30are pretty much pummeling his opponent, Tony Roy.
42:36And by the way,
42:37we are at the conclusion of this matchup,
42:39ladies and gentlemen.
42:40If you don't mind, Ryan Day Savage,
42:42I'm gonna leave my post
42:43and go on down to Lex Luger's locker room.
42:45I think you should.
42:46I think somebody needs to find out something.
42:49A gut-wrench suplex.
42:50Nicely executed by Jim, the anvil knight.
42:52If you don't do it, I'm gonna.
42:54I think maybe we're all better off
42:56if we just sit right here.
42:58I think everybody wants me to sit in this chair.
43:01Nice chair.
43:02Yeah.
43:03Getting tired of sitting in it.
43:05Uh-oh.
43:07Okay, Owen.
43:09What a troublemaker this guy is.
43:12And there's the man who was whispering
43:14in Owen's ear all along.
43:16It was Jim, the anvil knight,
43:18unquestionably,
43:19who really changed the attitude of Owen Hart
43:22against his very own brother, Bret Hart.
43:27Yeah, look at...
43:28Look at this now.
43:29Oh, my.
43:32Yeah!
43:34Will you see that next week?
43:36Will Jim, the anvil knight, Hart,
43:38and his partner, the King of Hearts,
43:40be victorious in the tag match next week?
43:43Or actually, will they be victorious
43:45in the Survivor Series
43:46with their other Teamster members?
43:49You have to wonder about that.
43:51You have to wonder whether or not
43:52the teamwork will be there
43:55at the Survivor Series.
43:56Tag team elimination, and Roy...
43:58Smiling in the face of Owen and...
44:00Uh-oh.
44:01Roy wasting no time in submission.
44:03These guys are getting ready for that battle
44:05in San Antonio, no doubt.
44:07And they better be ready for next week.
44:09The anvil knight, Hart!
44:12Yes, there you see them.
44:14Owen Hart, the King of Hearts,
44:16and Jim, the anvil knight, Hart.
44:18Stand by, ladies and gentlemen.
44:20More action headed up.
44:21Promotional consideration paid for by the following.
44:24I always like to keep my favorite snack handy.
44:30Need a little excitement?
44:32Step into a Slim Jim.
44:33Oh, yeah!
44:36We're back, ladies and gentlemen,
44:38and a celebration of sorts is going on,
44:41but you can bet Lex Luger
44:42is not celebrating at all.
44:43As a matter of fact, Randy Savage's takeover.
44:45I'm gonna head back to Lex Luger's locker room
44:48and pick up an interview and get...
44:50Oh, give me a break.
44:51Lex Luger's thoughts on Tataka.
44:53Well, this isn't turning, uh,
44:54what's the other way or something.
44:56I wanna hear what Lex Luger's got to say, too.
44:59Don't go away, everybody,
45:00because when we come back,
45:02we're gonna get an update on Lex Luger.
45:05Oh, yeah, welcome back to Monday Night Raw.
45:08Let me remind you that next week,
45:10right here in the squared circle,
45:11it's gonna be the biggest tag team match you've ever seen.
45:14The hit man, Brad Hart,
45:15the World Wrestling Federation champion,
45:17is gonna team up with his brother-in-law,
45:19the British Bulldog, Davey Boy Smith,
45:21and they're gonna be going against family members,
45:23the anvil, Jim Knight, Hart,
45:25and the King of Hearts, Owen Hart.
45:27But right now, I wanna go right back
45:29to Lex Luger's dressing room,
45:30because I think Vince McMahon may have Lex Luger,
45:33and check on that injury.
45:34Vince, can you hear me?
45:38Vince, can you hear me?
45:40Apparently, we're having audio problems,
45:43technical difficulty,
45:45and, uh, we're having problems, uh, communicating,
45:48but Lex Luger, as you can see,
45:49he's got an ice pack on his shoulder.
45:51He doesn't look very happy,
45:52and why should he be happy with Bob Backlund and Tataka?
45:56Because of what happened earlier in tonight's program,
45:59Monday Night Raw,
46:00and, uh, I wish I could hear what Lex Luger
46:02is saying right now,
46:03but I'm not sure that we're gonna be able to.
46:13Apparently, we're not gonna be able
46:14to fix our audio problems,
46:15so all I can say is stay tuned
46:16to the WWF Network this weekend,
46:18and hopefully we'll have more on Lex Luger
46:20and the situation.
46:21Wait a minute, we're getting audio right now.
46:23Let's see where that's coming from.
46:25Hey, we're getting back in the dressing room right now.
46:28It's Lex Luger, and I think he's in with Tataka.
