00:00The World Wrestling Federation, for over 50 years,
00:04the revolutionary force in sports entertainment.
00:08Bam Bam Bigelow's fall from grace started at the Royal Rumble when he teamed up with
00:14an overzealous Tatanka and suffered the most embarrassing defeat of his career.
00:20And then from there, this humiliation caused Bam Bam to misconstrue the attempt
00:24at a handshake of Lawrence Taylor.
00:25No indeed, LT then shot down to the concrete floor.
00:29Lawrence Taylor embarrassed over the actions of Bam Bam Bigelow.
00:33This, of course, led to one of the most anticipated matches in WrestleMania
00:38history.
00:39However, LT's greed and endurance just too much for Bam Bam Bigelow,
00:43causing his defeat.
00:44And thus, the Million Dollar Man, the manager of Bam Bam Bigelow,
00:47once again embarrassed by the effort of Bam Bam.
00:50Here's what he had to say.
00:51In the post-WrestleMania press conference Bam Bam Bigelow was
00:58obviously emotionally spent and dejected.
01:03As far as the Million Dollar Corporation, that's what I got to worry about now.
01:08I don't know where I stand with that, and it's on my mind.
01:11And life goes on for Bam Bam Bigelow.
01:15And so it does for Ted DiBiase, the manager of the entire Million Dollar team who
01:19just last week introduced to the world the crown jewel of his Reconstructed
01:22Corporation, Psycho Sid.
01:26Why isn't Sid very happy to see a fellow Million Dollar Corporation member
01:30get a shot at the WWF Championship tonight?
01:33The answer comes, ladies and gentlemen, tonight.
01:36The answer comes as to whether or not Diesel will remain WWF champion as he
01:40faces Bam Bam Bigelow, the Beast from the East, tonight on Monday Night Raw.
01:46Tonight, we are deep in the heart of Cornhurster country.
01:56What?
02:01Coming to you live from Omaha,
02:06Nebraska.

08:14We're back, everyone, live in Omaha, Nebraska,
08:17at the Civic Center, and joining us right now,
08:19no less than the reigning World Wrestling Federation champion,
08:22Big Daddy, Kool himself, Diesel.
08:24Diesel, can you hear us?
08:26Yes, I can.
08:27Well, tonight, the title's up for grabs.
08:30Many would question the wisdom of you granting a title shot
08:34to Bam Bam Bigelow in the spur of the moment just eight days ago.
08:37What about it?
08:39Well, I mean, when I won the World Championship,
08:42I told everybody I was going to be a fighting champion.
08:44I was going to follow in the footsteps of Bret
08:46and take on everybody that came along.
08:48Bam Bam wanted a shot.
08:50He's got it.
08:51Hey, we'll find out who was wiser.
08:53I think he maybe made a mistake taking me on.
08:55I feel pretty darn good tonight.
08:57Does this have anything to do with the fact that you were the person
08:59who invited Lars Taylor down to the Royal Rumble,
09:01and that's where all this began to begin with?
09:04Absolutely.
09:05I mean, I brought a friend down to the Royal Rumble.
09:07He made the situation into what it is.
09:10I think LT kind of got his redemption.
09:12Tonight, Big Daddy Cool gets his.
09:14All right, thank you very much.
09:15Big Daddy Cool Diesel, ladies and gentlemen,
09:17who just yesterday was in Germany.
09:20He's had a nine-time zone change.
09:23I don't know really whether or not he's going to be up for this matchup
09:26at 100% capacity.
09:28I can just say that this is going to be the greatest night in history
09:32for the Million Dollar Corporation.
09:34I can assure you that-
09:36Wait a minute.
09:37Wait a minute.
09:38Take a look at this.
09:40I think that one was for you, King.
09:42He blew a kiss.
09:44Take a look if you would.
09:48Bertha Faye.
09:50It's like Harvey Wippleman has just become the Tom Arnold of the WWF.
09:54Let's go back to when we first saw Bertha Faye,
09:57and she certainly didn't look like this.
09:59Here she is now.
10:00This was after a long replace.
10:02We captured the WWF Championship.
10:04And out of nowhere, this one came in.
10:07And really did a number on Alundra Blaze,
10:10who is recuperating as we speak,
10:12and will be in action here, hopefully, on Raw.
10:15Really so.
10:16Yeah, no doubt.
10:17Alundra Blaze puts me in a daze.
10:20Oh, my gosh.
10:21There's something that'll put you in a daze right there.
10:23Harvey Wippleman.
10:26And, oh, my goodness.
10:29I can see Hugh Hefner right now sitting in front of the TV.
10:32You can?
10:33Grabbing for the telephone, trying to call Harvey.
10:35He's got his sights set on Bertha Faye.
10:37What would he be saying to Harvey?
10:39You think he wants Harvey?
10:41Wait a minute.
10:42Look at this.
10:44Bertha Faye against Pantera Serena.
10:47Serena going for the leg.
10:49Nothing there.
10:53Serena going for the single leg takedown.
10:55Nothing there.
10:56It looks like a lot there to me, McMahon.
10:58Well, I didn't catch the weight of Bertha Faye.
11:00But wait a minute now.
11:01Wait a minute now.
11:02Oh, and Pantera Serena still not able to do anything with her feet.
11:05Oh, my goodness.
11:06Wow.
11:09Did you not catch the weight?
11:11No, I didn't.
11:12I don't know what she weighs either, but let me just say this.
11:14Her Levi's aren't 501s.
11:16They're 747s.
11:20We're told now that, and many of you I'm sure heard,
11:22that Serena's less than 230 pounds, King.
11:26Oh, my goodness.
11:27Ow.
11:29And that's just her right leg.
11:30Each polka dot would weigh 20, 25 pounds.
11:37Serena coming off the rope and-
11:40Oh, a takedown.
11:41There you go.
11:43Serena taking down big Bertha Faye.
11:45Look out.
11:47Serena going to work on those big three trunk legs now.
11:49Off the rope and-
11:51Uh-oh.
11:53And Bertha Faye-
11:54Oh, look out.
11:55Nobody home.
11:56Nobody home.
11:58You know, I understand that Bertha Faye lives in a double-wide trailer
12:01down in Walls, Mississippi, right near Bruno.
12:05And on the top, ladies and gentlemen-
12:07Uh-oh.
12:08Wait a minute.
12:10A little lack of communication there.
12:12Harvey whipping-
12:14Look at the smile on Harvey's face.
12:16Harvey is smiling?
12:17I think he likes her.
12:18That's a polka dot that we're looking at.
12:20No, that-
12:21Serena.
12:23Oh.
12:24Oh.
12:27What about that, McMahon?
12:29Bertha Faye is a, I would suggest, the female equivalent of Yokozuna.
12:37Look at Harvey.
12:38I think he's in love.
12:39He might be.
12:42I would suggest that even Duckman would be proud of Bertha Faye.
12:45Hey, hey, hey.
12:46Speaking of Duckman, do you know that coming up, we're going to wonder,
12:50could Corn Fed have feathered an illegitimate pot-bellied pig?
12:53Huh?
12:54A trip back to Nam reveals some wild boar stories on an all-new Duckman
12:58tonight at 10, 9 central, right after Raw.
13:03You know, she sort of looks like Duckman's sister-in-law.
13:08Oh, my goodness.
13:09He might resemble a Corn Fed, although perhaps I shouldn't be saying that here
13:13in a great state of Nebraska.
13:16I think she just blew a kiss to Harvey.
13:19Dropping the leg, and Bertha Faye is pretty much having her way
13:24with Pantera Serena from Mexico.
13:33And Serena, at this juncture, not having any more success with Bertha Faye
13:38than I would suggest you would with the Hitman Bret Hart.
13:41Look at Hart put up.
13:42Wait a minute.
13:44Look, McMahon, don't even.
13:45What is she doing?
13:49Come on, Bertha Faye.
13:51Bertha reversing things.
13:52Serena to the buckle, and...
13:53Ooh!
13:55That's what I would do to Bret the Hitman Hart
13:57if he just had the guts to sign his name on the dotted line.
14:00I got the contract right here in front of me.
14:02Open contract.
14:03Whoa.
14:04Ooh!
14:06I mean, what would you suggest?
14:10I mean, it's like he's already signed for a match Bret has with Akushi.
14:16Wait a minute, look at this.
14:17Hey, this is how she broke Alundra Blaze's nose and nose.
14:22Maybe she'll get the same nose as Alundra Blaze.
14:25And a three count.
14:28Well, it's a good thing that Bertha Faye is not eligible to win
14:35this beautiful, magnificent vacation home
14:39that all of you have an opportunity of winning.
14:42Beautiful, magnificent?
14:43Are you talking about Bertha Faye?
14:45No, I'm talking about the special In Your House home
14:47that's going to be giving away in Orlando, Florida, ladies and gentlemen.
14:51And we're going to let you know whether or not you've won
14:54live when we pick up the telephone and dial your telephone number
14:57when we are live in your house.
14:59Take it away, Todd.
15:07Hey, everybody, it's Todd Pettengill with the In Your House report
15:10here totally live on Monday Night Raw.
15:13And just like Bertha Faye is a new part of the WWF,
15:17In Your House is a totally new concept in pay-per-view entertainment.
15:21You can see all the action on Mother's Day, Sunday, May the 14th
15:25from the ON Center in Syracuse, totally live on pay-per-view
15:28at 7 o'clock Eastern.
15:30It really is an unbelievable value at just $14.95.
15:33I mean, that's cheaper than taking the family out for dinner or a movie.
15:37Heck, in most places, the popcorn alone will cost you more than that.
15:40All you have to do is call your local cable company
15:43and ask for In Your House from the WWF.
15:46The main event is the biggest WWF championship matchup in years.
15:51Big Daddy Cool Diesel defends the gold against the newest member
15:55of that million-dollar corporation, Sid.
15:58Arguably the two most powerful superstars in the World Wrestling Federation
16:02square off eye-to-eye in the same ring.
16:06And speaking of the ring, you better believe it's going to be reinforced
16:09when these two giants collide.
16:12As a matter of fact, we will see Big Daddy Cool Diesel in action here
16:15in just a few minutes, live on Monday Night Raw,
16:18when he faces Bam Bam Bigelow,
16:20who would love to steal the gold from his coolness.
16:24Now, back to In Your House, Sunday, May the 14th.
16:27You will also see an unbelievable tag matchup
16:30as Double J, Jeff Jarrett, and The Roadie team up
16:33to take on the former Intercontinental Champion,
16:37and his friend, the 1-2-3 Kid.
16:40It's a matchup everybody has been waiting to see.
16:43Now, how about this matchup?
16:45The legendary Bret the Hitman Hart will square off
16:48against the awesome Hakushi,
16:50who is still undefeated in singles matchups.
16:53And by the way, I spoke with the Hitman over the weekend
16:56about this so-called open contract that Jerry Lawler's been talking about.
17:00Bret doesn't know anything about it.
17:02There's a shock, huh?
17:04Folks, In Your House, Sunday, May the 14th,
17:06from the Onondaga Center in Syracuse,
17:08will give you a chance to win a house.
17:10A house. I'm sure you've heard by now
17:12that the World Wrestling Federation and your local cable company
17:15want to give you a house.
17:17And check out this beautiful home in Orlando, Florida.
17:20Corner lot right near the golf course.
17:23Modern and stylish. Look at this.
17:25Heated in-ground pool, two-car garage.
17:27That's a nice vacation home.
17:29Hey, maybe if your house needs to be painted,
17:31you put it off, you move right into this one.
17:33All you have to do to enter to win that house
17:35is find a 3-by-5 piece of paper,
17:37give us your name, your address, your age, and your phone number,
17:40mail it to WWFInYourHouse,
17:43P.O. Box 7406, Melville, New York, 11775.
17:49All entries must be received by May the 12th.
17:52So you can be watching In Your House,
17:54from your house, and win a new house.
17:56Ha, cool.
17:58Oh, and speaking of cool,
18:00Eddie is set to defend the WWF title live here tonight,
18:03as we told you, against Bam Bam Bigelow.
18:06And you better believe, Psycho Sid is somewhere here tonight,
18:09and he is not a happy individual.
18:12Listen.
18:14You ask me if I am happy,
18:18well, there will only be one thing
18:21that will make the Master happy,
18:24that I become the World Wrestling Federation champion.
18:29And about tonight,
18:34I have friends
18:37in low places.
18:44And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen,
18:46Bam Bam Bigelow is scheduled to meet Big Daddy Cool
18:49live on Mother's Day,
18:51as you just heard from Todd Turnskill.
18:53However, will it be a championship matchup,
18:56or will it be a non-title matchup?
18:58Because tonight, Bam Bam Bigelow,
19:01unquestionably at his peak,
19:04Bam Bam Bigelow may not be denied
19:07his quest to be the WWF champion.
19:11Bam Bam just quit off against Big Daddy Cool.
19:14What a matchup.
19:16It's headed your way when we return
19:18with more Monday Night Raw.
19:22We are back, everyone.
19:23Yes, there's the massage of the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase.
19:26That's what it's all about to him.
19:28And the Million Dollar Team,
19:30it's all about the almighty dollar.
19:34And Bam Bam Bigelow certainly can add to that wealth
19:37if, in fact, he becomes the champion, however.
19:42Here he comes,
19:43the most awesome WWF champion and snatcher in history.
19:49Take a look at him.
19:50Seven feet of it, over 300 pounds.
19:54Listen to this old man, Shaq.
20:12Take a look at him, McMahon.
20:13He's awesome, all right.
20:15Without going on record,
20:16I'll put my...
20:18I'll put my record as a perfect prognosticator on the line.
20:22I'm predicting that you're looking at him
20:24as the WWF champion for the last time.
20:27It could very well be.
20:29Again, after a night, time don't change.
20:34You can bet jet lag.
20:35Oh, my goodness.
20:37Could very well have an effect on this matchup.
20:40Who knows what's gonna happen?
20:42We're gonna find out in 30 seconds.
20:46Yes, we're ready for action to begin.
20:48Again, this match made just eight days ago.
20:51And again, you have to question away
20:53from the Big Daddy Cool for accepting a match
20:56on such short notice.
20:57And it might have Bam Bam Bigelow went after Diesel,
21:00challenged Diesel on his own.
21:01Ted DiBiase and the other Million Dollar Team members
21:04had no idea that he was gonna challenge Diesel
21:06much less that Diesel was going to accept.
21:08And I must say, none of this sit well at all
21:11with that monster cycle that he's in.
21:14Because Sid has his sights set on In Your House on May 14.
21:19Bam Bam could upset everybody.
21:21You know, maybe over in Germany,
21:23somebody knocked out Diesel's wisdom teeth.
21:25Huh? What do you think?
21:26Hey, another thing.
21:27Wonder if Shawn Michaels is sitting at home right now
21:29in his wheelchair watching this match.
21:31He's not in a wheelchair.
21:32Oh, nice takedown by Big Daddy Cool.
21:34I thought he was in a wheelchair.
21:36Definitely not.
21:37Shawn Michaels will be returning to action
21:40in about a month.
21:43You say.
21:44And, of course, it was Psycho Sid
21:47who put Shawn Michaels on the shelf.
21:50And my daddy did it from behind.
21:52Big, rugged, tough Sid attacked Shawn Michaels from behind.
21:55More on that later.
21:56Now Bam Bam Bigelow setting his sights on Big Daddy Cool.
22:00And if any one individual can match Diesel
22:02in terms of strength, can match him
22:04in terms of power and finesse, it's Bam Bam.
22:06Bam Bam and they collide and nobody goes anywhere.
22:09Bam Bam and boom!
22:11Jump down to the canvas.
22:14Bam Bam to the buckle.
22:16Big Daddy Cool and Bam Bam follows up.
22:21You can almost feel the entire building shake up
22:24and here he comes again.
22:28This is not the way Bam Bam wanted this match to start.
22:32And Big Daddy Cool driving in.
22:35And another one with authority.
22:38Diesel hammering away.
22:42And now a series of knee lifts to the midsection.
22:45And you know Lawrence Taylor is watching a matchup.
22:48Oh my!
22:51Get out of there! Take a rest!
22:53What do you mean get out of there?
22:54He can't get out of there.
22:55You gotta go look down.
23:00Big Daddy Cool all over Bam Bam Bigelow.
23:04And Bam Bam retaliating.
23:06Bigelow needs to start thinking about the fact
23:08that it was Big Daddy Cool
23:10who gave Lawrence Taylor that crash course in wrestling
23:13that enabled him to embarrass Bigelow at WrestleMania.
23:17Which by the way is about like somebody going to the
23:19Vince McMahon School of Broadcasting.
23:22I didn't know there was such a school.
23:23And Diesel now, ladies and gentlemen,
23:25hammering away on Bam Bam Bigelow.
23:27He's got it!
23:28On cover! One, two, and it's over!
23:30No it's not.
23:31Bam Bam got the shoulder up.
23:35But thus far, I must say, in terms of offense,
23:38Big Daddy Cool now scooping up Bam Bam and slams him to the count.
23:43Off the rope and rocks the elbow!
23:46On cover! One, two, and no!
23:49Not quite.
23:51Again, Bam Bam barely getting the shoulder up.
23:56Big Daddy Cool Diesel knowing that Sid is watching this match.
23:59Knowing that Shawn Michaels is watching the match.
24:01Lawrence Taylor's watching this match.
24:03The whole world's watching this match.
24:05A rare opportunity to see a World Wrestling Federation title event on Monday Night Raw.
24:11Look at this!
24:13Diesel, unquestionably, certainly showing Bam Bam a thing or two thus far here tonight.
24:19I gotta hand it to him.
24:20It's been all Diesel so far.
24:22But somewhere I gotta think that Bam Bam is just biding his time.
24:26Come on, Bam Bam! Get up!
24:28And that jet lag we made reference to earlier on with Diesel is not apparent at all.
24:33At least not in the-
24:34Miss it!
24:38Bam Bam Bigelow.
24:40Again on the receiving end of a hard right hand.
24:42And Diesel maintains his control and his authority over Bam Bam.
24:46But the longer Bam Bam can last, the longer this match goes,
24:49I'd have to give the advantage to Bam Bam.
24:51Because like you said, Diesel's gotta be weary.
24:54Maybe it's not showing yet.
24:56But eventually he's gonna run out of gas.
24:58And there's the man who wins.
25:01If the coin goes to tails, he wins.
25:03If it's flipped to heads as well.
25:05Uh-oh.
25:06Because either on May 14 or tonight,
25:09you can bet Ted DiBiase has a good chance of taking the gold.
25:14That's something he's always wanted.
25:19Ted DiBiase, proud of the fact that Bam Bam, on his own,
25:23went to Diesel and asked for this title shot.
25:26I think he was shocked it was granted.
25:28And wait a minute!
25:29A slam!
25:30Bam Bam now!
25:31First offense!
25:32Bam Bam!
25:33Oh, no!
25:34You know, I personally helped Bam Bam right before this match.
25:37His eye was actually swollen shut.
25:39But I went out and bought one of those big Omaha steaks
25:42and put it right on there.
25:43And now he's fine.
25:44Sure.
25:45Diesel!
25:46Off the rope!
25:47Underneath the rope now!
25:48Big Daddy Crews!
25:49All right!
25:54And a cover!
25:55Crew in his tent!
25:56No.
25:57Not quite.
25:58Not quite.
26:01Look at Ted DiBiase.
26:02He's almost-
26:03And now look at the city outside.
26:05Bam Bam, pick it up.
26:06Oh, no.
26:07Bam Bam pulling out the WWF champion.
26:10Ramps his head down to the apron.
26:15Bam Bam with Diesel!
26:16No!
26:17He's gonna ring post!
26:18That's it right there!
26:20And that could do it!
26:23But you can't win the title in a count out.
26:25Well, probably begin at pinning.
26:27Bam Bam has to pin Diesel.
26:29Or make him submit.
26:30Oh, no.
26:31And a count!
26:35Bam Bam rolling back in.
26:37Bam Bam clearly with the advantage.
26:39How much damage did he do to the back of the WWF champion?
26:43Listen to these capacity crowd here.
26:45Listen to the fans.
26:46Diesel!
26:47Diesel!
26:48Diesel!
26:49Diesel!
26:50Bam Bam!
26:51Oh, he's getting ready now, McMahon.
26:53With the seven-footer across.
26:55And what's gonna happen here?
26:57Down!
26:59Bam Bam Bigelow.
27:00He's going for the cover!
27:01Two in!
27:02No!
27:03No.
27:04Diesel kicking out!
27:06Bam Bam Bigelow with the advantage.
27:08Bam Bam with the momentum.
27:10The match continues.
27:13We're back, everyone!
27:14Live in Omaha's Civic Auditorium.
27:16In Omaha, Nebraska.
27:17Monday Night Raw.
27:18The WWF Championship is up for grabs.
27:20And Bam Bam Bigelow, the challenger.
27:22There's his manager, Ted DiBiase.
27:25Knowing full well that this is a pivotal point as Big Daddy Cool Diesel
27:30comes down on his feet.
27:33Bam Bam has been working on Big Daddy Cool Diesel's back the whole time
27:36during the break.
27:37Off to rope in.
27:38Bam Bam!
27:42And that certainly is not gonna help the back of Diesel.
27:47You gotta look at the-
27:48Two frames colliding here in the middle of the ring.
27:50Look at the look of concern on Ted DiBiase's face.
27:52I know it, but you gotta realize he's in a win-win situation.
27:56He's hoping, he's praying that Bam Bam will take the title tonight.
27:59But if not, he's still got a shot on Mother's Day.
28:04And Diesel-
28:05Oh, look at that!
28:06Wow!
28:08Right on the back of Bam Bam's head!
28:10Diesel took the legs right out for Bam Bam.
28:13Off to rope and-
28:14Yes!
28:16Hard cover!
28:17Yes, he-
28:18No, he can't put him away.
28:22Bam Bam Bigelow.
28:23Just as tough as they get.
28:25Bam Bam now.
28:26Trying to get outside.
28:27No, wait.
28:28Diesel!
28:31Look out!
28:32Bam Bam Bigelow!
28:33And down!
28:37And Bam Bam Bigelow is having his problems.
28:42And the man who's giving him his problems is the WWF Champion Diesel.
28:48Diesel and Bam Bam.
28:49Whipping to the buckle end.
28:50Uh-oh, look at that.
28:51Bam Bam comes up with an elbow right on the butt of the jaw.
28:54Just when you think Bam Bam Bigelow is finished,
28:57he's always got something else for you.
28:59Look at this!
29:01All the Million Dollar Members of the Corporation
29:04certainly looking on, watching.
29:06And I might add one of them, with great envy, Sid.
29:10And Bam Bam Bigelow!
29:12Now with Big Daddy Cool, can he put him away?
29:15Will we see a new champion crowned in the ring?
29:18No!
29:20Come on, Bam Bam!
29:21Get him up!
29:23And down!
29:25A tremendous reversal.
29:28That could do it.
29:29A near four-to-pound suplex, and yes!
29:31No, he doesn't.
29:32He can't quite put Bam Bam away.
29:35What a competitor.
29:36Bigelow will not quit.
29:38He doesn't know the meaning of the word quit.
29:42Bam Bam Bigelow coming here to Omaha, Nebraska
29:46to become the World Wrestling Federation Champion.
29:49To make sure that this will not be an embarrassing moment,
29:52such as the Royal Rumble, such as WrestleMania.
29:56You don't know how it felt for this man
29:58to be ostracized by Ted DiBiase
30:00and all of the rest of the members of the Corporation.
30:02They all scorned him.
30:04They looked down their noses at him.
30:06And this is his one opportunity to get back in their good graces.
30:08He's gotta come through!
30:11Big Daddy Cool Diesel
30:14on his feet.
30:15But, on the receiving end, a block down and a nice forearm!
30:20And the big seven-foot monster wailing around.
30:24Look at this!
30:25No! Wait a minute now!
30:26What's gonna happen?
30:27He got him!
30:28He got him!
30:29He got him!
30:30New champion!
30:32And the pain of Diesel
30:34in bad shape and...
30:36Uncover!
30:37One!
30:38Again a two!
30:39No, he did not.
30:40He did not get him.
30:41He did not get him.
30:42That was close.
30:43He'd have covered him two seconds sooner.
30:48Wear him down, Bam Bam.
30:49Wear him down.
30:51Make him think,
30:52how long was that flight from Germany?
30:53Ten, twelve hours?
30:55A long, long way.
30:57And Bam Bam Bigelow
30:58taking full advantage
30:59of Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
31:02These idiots will just shut up in here.
31:07Listen to this chant!
31:09Hey!
31:10Take a look at this, Big Daddy!
31:11Take a look at this, Big Daddy!
31:12Wait a minute.
31:13What is going on?
31:14What's he doing here?
31:17It's obvious he's here.
31:18He's part of the corporation.
31:20He's here to lend some moral support
31:22to Bam Bam Bigelow.
31:27A fellow million dollar team member,
31:29Native American,
31:30to talk about ringside here.
31:34And Bam Bam
31:36trying to keep Big Daddy Cool down on the mat.
31:39That's what you have to do.
31:42However, both men back up now.
31:44The 400 pounder is-
31:46No!
31:47Yeah!
31:50Where does Diesel get that strength from?
31:53And Bam Bam Bigelow
31:55thus far has come close
31:56to becoming the World Wrestling Federation champion,
31:59but not close enough.
32:02You wonder
32:03whether or not the presence of Tatanka
32:06will be a factor in this matchup.
32:08You know, there's strength in numbers, Big Daddy.
32:10There's strength in numbers, McMahon.
32:12Just the sheer-
32:13Just the sheer power, the force
32:15of all of the corporation
32:17being in the corner of Bam Bam
32:19has got to make him realize
32:20that he can get back into good places
32:22by defeating Diesel.
32:25But what about Kama?
32:27What about King Kong funding?
32:29What about IRS?
32:30What about all the million dollar corporation members?
32:32Are they going to come out too?
32:35And if they do,
32:36will the official allow the match to continue?
32:39Hey, what about Sid?
32:41Will he come out?
32:43Bam Bam
32:44at the moment
32:46on his own
32:48pummeling
32:49the World Wrestling Federation champion, Diesel.
32:55Look at the million dollar man.
32:57Tatanka getting a cheap shot
32:59behind the official's back.
33:08So now,
33:09the strategy
33:10is pretty obvious
33:11on the part of DiBiase.
33:14Bam Bam does the damage in the ring
33:16to Tatanka.
33:17And who knows who else is going to join us
33:19to do damage on the outside.
33:20Can Diesel hang on?
33:22Will he retain the World Wrestling Federation championship?
33:25Or will he cough it up tonight?
33:29We're back in Omaha, Nebraska.
33:31And the World Wrestling Federation champion,
33:33give him a round of applause.
33:34And look at that.
33:35A big boot
33:36by the man in black.
33:37Yes, we're talking about the WD-
33:39Wait a minute.
33:40Ted DiBiase getting a-
33:41Go!
33:43Distracting Diesel.
33:44We've seen Tatanka be involved.
33:46We've seen now Ted DiBiase involved.
33:48Bam Bam Bigelow
33:49has all the cards in his favor.
33:51Hey, wait a minute.
33:52What happened?
33:54Tatanka just tripped Bam Bam.
33:56That must have been a mistake.
33:58A big boot by the champion, Diesel.
34:01What did he do?
34:02Hey, wait a minute.
34:03Here we go.
34:05Jackknife!
34:07Cover!
34:09For a count!
34:10Yes!
34:14I- I cannot believe this!
34:16The winner of the match is still
34:18World Wrestling Federation's champion,
34:21Big Daddy Cool Diesel!
34:25There he is, ladies and gentlemen.
34:28Big Daddy Cool Diesel,
34:30still the World Wrestling Federation champion
34:33in a hard-fought matchup
34:36with Diesel granted to Bam Bam Bigelow.
34:39This was just a little bit more than a week ago.
34:42Talk about a fighting champion.
34:45Now, Diesel,
34:47we're going to Mother's Day.
34:49Here we go, ladies and gentlemen,
34:51to Syracuse, New York,
34:53to defend the championship
34:55against Psycho Sid.
34:59And Diesel looking back
35:01at Ted DiBiase
35:03giving Bam Bam
35:05Let's pick up.
35:06Let's see what Ted DiBiase is saying.
35:09It's not bad enough.
35:12It's not bad enough that at the Royal Rumble,
35:15you lost to the 1-2-3 Kid
35:18and Bob Sparkplug Holly
35:20and embarrassed and humiliated
35:23the corporation.
35:25If that wasn't bad enough,
35:28you challenge Lawrence Taylor
35:30and the corporation
35:32and I stood behind you
35:34100%.
35:36Not only did we stand behind you,
35:38we were at ringside behind you
35:41at WrestleMania
35:43and you lost to a football player
35:46and you embarrassed and humiliated me again.
35:51And now,
35:53now this,
35:55now this, Bigelow,
35:57now this,
35:59you embarrass me again.
36:01Nobody
36:03embarrasses the corporation
36:05or the Million Dollar Man
36:07a third time. I had it, Bam Bam.
36:09I had the World Wrestling Federation title
36:11right here in the palm of my hand.
36:151-2-3 strikes you out.
36:17Something has to be done, Bigelow.
36:19And I'm going to do it right now.
36:21You are fired.
36:24Oh my goodness!
36:26Whoa!
36:27Look out!
36:28Tatanka attacking Bam Bam Bigelow.
36:30Tatanka going to work on Bam Bam.
36:34Imagine the nerve of Ted DiBiase.
36:36Wait a minute.
36:37Bam Bam takes Tatanka down.
36:41Tatanka over the top rope.
36:43And now go for it.
36:44Go for it.
36:48Go ahead.
36:49Wait a minute, Bam Bam.
36:51Don't do anything stupid.
36:54You can't fire me.
36:56I quit.
36:58And now,
36:59I'm going to give you a million reasons why.
37:03Here he goes. He's going to go for it.
37:05Bam Bam's going to-
37:06If that's not what I said!
37:07From behind.
37:09IRS.
37:12IRS and Tatanka
37:14whittling away on Bam Bam Bigelow.
37:21Tatanka
37:23and Bam Bam.
37:25Wait a minute.
37:26No, look at this.
37:27Oh, no.
37:29Oh, no.
37:30What?
37:31Oh!
37:32Shit!
37:34Psycho shit!
37:35Look by IRS and Tatanka
37:37holding Bam Bam.
37:38Look what he's doing to Bam Bam.
37:40It's just going to show you, McMahon.
37:41You cannot embarrass the corporation
37:43and get away with it.
37:45Look at shit.
37:46And again.
37:48Psycho shit.
37:49Atticus Wade
37:50with Bam Bam Bigelow.
37:58Yes!
37:59Diviastic effort
38:00as soon as the crown jewel
38:02of a $3 million corporation.
38:03And Bam Bam gave it his all.
38:05He gave it his all.
38:06But he lost, McMahon.
38:08He lost.
38:09He gave it his all here tonight
38:10against Diesel.
38:11And see it now.
38:12Oh, no.
38:20Wait a minute.
38:21Here comes the WWE champion.
38:25Diesel.
38:28Going to take out the ring.
38:39He's got this.
38:40I am the master.
38:45They call him Sid.
38:51And when he sabotaged Shawn Michaels,
38:54he exposed to the world
38:55his corporate membership.
39:01Razor Ramon.
39:03The bad guy is out to prove
39:05that not all memberships
39:06are worth the privileges.
39:08Razor Ramon battles Sid
39:11next week on Monday Night Raw.
39:18Imagine if you won, ladies and gentlemen,
39:20next week.
39:21Imagine that matchup if you won.
39:23Razor Ramon against Psycho Sid.
39:27I can't wait to see the bad guy
39:29finally get here.
39:31And by the way,
39:32a little bit later on,
39:33we will show you
39:34what happened, ladies and gentlemen,
39:37during the break
39:38between Bam Bam Figueroa
39:40and the World Wrestling Federation
39:42champion, Diesel.
39:44However, right now,
39:45it's Aldo Montoya
39:47one-on-one with the Black Phantom.
39:54Aldo Montoya.
39:58For those of you who don't know,
39:59in the multicolored tights,
40:01I guess we'd have to say,
40:02predominantly yellow,
40:03and the Phantom
40:05over the hip of Aldo Montoya.
40:07More than holding.
40:08Nice dropkick by Aldo Montoya.
40:13Wait a minute.
40:14Look at this.
40:15He will take a chance,
40:16that's for sure.
40:18You know, McMahon,
40:19there's been all this talk
40:20this evening about
40:21the big Mother's Day spectacular
40:23that's coming up in your house.
40:24Speaking of mothers,
40:25I'd just like to take this opportunity
40:27to sort of send out my get-well wishes
40:30to Bret Hart's mother.
40:31What do you mean?
40:32She's sick?
40:33Well, she suffered a nasty burn
40:34over the weekend.
40:35She tried to iron her face.
40:38Tried to iron the wrinkles
40:39out of her face.
40:40You know?
40:41What?
40:42You're gonna pay.
40:43You're gonna pay, for sure.
40:44And I think the Hitman's
40:45gonna make you pay,
40:46if only he hadn't assigned
40:47that match with Akushi
40:48in your house.
40:49Right.
40:50Oh, would he ever love
40:51to get his mitts on you?
40:52By the way,
40:53we're told now,
40:54ladies and gentlemen,
40:55that Jim Ross,
40:56we're gonna try and get
40:57our cameras back
40:58and get a word with Bam Bam,
40:59but Jim Ross beat us to the punch
41:00back on the WWF Superstar line.
41:02The number 1-900-737.
41:04For WWF,
41:06open 24 hours a day,
41:07seven days a week.
41:08You must be 18 years of age
41:09or have your parents' permission
41:11before calling
41:12and go right to option six.
41:14Jim Ross, in fact,
41:15they're speaking with
41:16Bam Bam Bigelow.
41:17But we're also gonna have
41:18some update
41:20or rather an update
41:21on Shawn Michaels' condition.
41:23Bet he's in a wheelchair.
41:24No, we clarified that earlier.
41:26We do expect him
41:27to be back in action
41:28in approximately a month.
41:32I must say,
41:33Shawn Michaels certainly
41:34watching the broadcast
41:36and maybe a little
41:39and almost a count of three there.
41:41Although Montoya
41:42almost pinned by the Black Phantom.
41:47It seems like
41:48Psycho Sid
41:49has his sights set
41:50on just about everybody
41:51here in the
41:52World Wrestling Federation.
41:53He wants to mow
41:54everyone down.
41:55He wants to mow
41:56everyone down
41:57and he wants to become
41:58the man in the WWF.
41:59That means
42:00the champion.
42:01Whoa!
42:02Nice maneuver
42:03by Aldo Montoya.
42:05And you have to wonder
42:06what we just saw
42:07when you reflect back
42:08on whether or not
42:09why Tataka was there
42:11to begin with
42:12in the matchup
42:13with Bam Bam.
42:14We saw Tataka
42:15trip Bam Bam.
42:16I mean,
42:17you have to wonder
42:18whether or not
42:19Tataka
42:20was in cahoots
42:21with Sid.
42:23Who knows?
42:24Well,
42:25all I can tell you
42:26is that obviously
42:27the Million Dollar Man
42:28knows he's gotta be
42:29at the bottom.
42:30He knows everything
42:31that goes on
42:32in the corporation.
42:33I'm not so sure about that.
42:34Nice maneuver
42:35on the part of Aldo
42:36in a pinning combination.
42:37Can he get him?
42:38Yes!
42:39Aldo Montoya
42:40with a very impressive
42:41entry here live
42:42ladies and gentlemen
42:43in Omaha, Nebraska.
42:48Coming to the
42:49World Wrestling Federation
42:50we have standing by
42:52sitting in his easy chair
42:53we have a gentleman
42:54by the name of
42:55Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
42:57Oh yeah.
42:58Helmsley, can you hear him?
43:02Would you like to say something?
43:18Welcome back everyone
43:19to our Monday Night Raw
43:20Vince McMahon, Jerry The King Lawler
43:21what a WWF Championship matchup
43:23we saw here tonight
43:24ladies and gentlemen.
43:25Big Daddy Cool Diesel
43:26giving it his all.
43:27And by the way
43:28so did Bam Bam Bigelow.
43:29Give credit where it's due
43:30and certainly
43:31a man like Bam Bam
43:32was not entitled to
43:33the carnage that we saw
43:35from his fellow team members
43:37like that
43:38on the part of Ted DiBiase.
43:39I'm off of Bam Bam.
43:40He cost me my perfect record
43:42as a prognosticator.
43:43Let's take you now
43:44and show you the footage
43:45ladies and gentlemen
43:46of what happened now.
43:47Diesel as you know
43:48as we all saw
43:49came in to help
43:50the very man
43:51whom he just defeated
43:52earlier on tonight.
43:54But Diesel could not
43:55stand by I'm sure
43:56and watch Psycho Sid
43:58whom obviously
43:59he has a bone to pick with
44:01so to speak
44:02do the kind of damage
44:03he was doing
44:04much less
44:05to Tonka
44:06and IRS
44:07and Ted DiBiase
44:08and finally
44:09Bam Bam
44:10look at this
44:11sticks the hand out
44:12and says hey
44:13let's shake.
44:14And they did.
44:16You don't see that often enough
44:18in sports these days
44:19ladies and gentlemen
44:20a handshake.
44:21That's really
44:22what it's all about.
44:23And both men showing
44:25mutual respect
44:26for each other.
44:27I'll tell you
44:28I'll never shake hands
44:29with Bret the Hitman Hart.
44:30Let's talk about that.
44:31Yeah let's do.
44:32You have said that
44:33that Bret
44:34refused to sign a match
44:35with you.
44:36That's right.
44:37It seems like you didn't
44:38rear your ugly head
44:39so to speak
44:40and challenge Bret.
44:41I mean
44:42it seemed to me like that
44:43that
44:44you got a little confused.
44:45Look he's a
44:46spineless
44:47spaghetti.
44:48I got the contract.
44:49All I need is his name on it.
44:50But he's gutless.
44:51He won't sign it.
44:52He's a regular
44:53rock and jello.
