00:00The World Wrestling Federation, for over 50 years,
00:04the revolutionary force in sports entertainment.
00:09Tonight's the night, on Monday Night Raw.
00:14You've got that right.
00:15King of the Ring, qualifying tournament match.
00:18And Undertaker, I'm here to tell you, Double J is a shoe in for the King of the Ring.
00:23You ain't got no gold around your waist, because Undertaker, I ain't afraid of you.
00:28It's gonna be a great match tonight.
00:29And I certainly ain't scared of you, and you too, Paul Bearer, I ain't afraid of you.
00:33You're a big Undertaker fan.
00:34And I certainly ain't scared of you, either.
00:37Because Double J, ha, ha, ha, is the world's greatest singer.
00:43Double J is the world's greatest entertainer.
00:46Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute.
00:51What's wrong, Roddy?
00:52The lights are going out.
00:54Check this out.
00:54I mean, The Undertaker's on his way.
00:57Oh, is that it?
00:57What's the deal here?
00:59Get a flashlight, get the flashlight, get the flashlight, get the flashlight.
01:05We're ready for action.
01:06The Undertaker's on his way to meet Double J.
01:09Let's go.
01:09Tonight, we'll visit with the World Wrestling Federation Champion,
01:16Diesel, recovering from Reconstruction.
01:21He's back in the ring with the Wrestling Federation Champion,
01:25Diesel, and he's got a great show for you tonight.
01:29The Undertaker's on his way to meet the Wrestling Federation Champion,
01:36Diesel, recovering from reconstructive elbow surgery.
01:41That's right, McMahon, and Diesel has one thing to thank for that.
01:44Sid and that devastating power bar.
01:47The lights have been turned back on, ladies and gentlemen.
01:50Double J, Jeff Jarrett, one on one against The Undertaker in a King of the Ring
01:56purifying matchup.
01:57But just how long will the lights stay on for Double J, Jeff Jarrett?
02:01Who knows, he just might be resting in peace here tonight.
02:07Hello, everyone, welcome to Monday Night Raw.
02:11Good to be here along with Jerry, the King Lawler.
02:14You know, it seems everybody wants to be a king.
02:18You know, even The Undertaker who wants to be a king.
02:20You know, Shawn Michaels wanting to be a king.
02:23But let me remind all of you, heavy hangs the head that wears the crown.
02:28It takes a king to know a king.
02:32And now that Elvis is gone, I'm the only real king left.
02:35And actually, ladies and gentlemen, the man who just might be the next WWF Champion.
02:39We're talking about Sid, some people call him Psycho Sid.
02:44Also joining us for a special interview is Alundra Blaze, the WWF Women's Champion.
02:51Yeah, but the man everybody is waiting to see is my new found friend.
02:55I'm talking about the White Angel, my sushi eating pal, Hakushi.
03:00Sushi eating pal, the friend of mine, here he comes.
03:05This contest is-
03:09Here comes the man, ladies and gentlemen, the powerbomb.
03:13The WWF Champion, he's in your house.
03:17Here comes the man who is flicking the damage on the elbow.
03:21Of the World Wrestling Federation Champion.
03:23That's right, McMahon, there he is.
03:25Sid, you see him?
03:26Let's see the powerbomb.
03:27Come on, let's take a look at it.
03:29All right, here we go, look at the height.
03:31Unbelievable height and crashing down onto the canvas.
03:36Big Daddy Cool, that right elbow sliding right off the mat.
03:40And Diesel slid right into intensive care, didn't he?
03:44Big Daddy Cool, ladies and gentlemen, recuperating as we speak.
03:48Obviously on the shelf for a number of weeks.
03:51The surgery completed at the HealthSouth Medical Center
03:55by world-renowned physician, Dr. James Andrews.
03:59Same man who did the hip replacement for Bo Jackson.
04:02Matter of fact, he's done the work for Shaquille O'Neal.
04:05Terry Bradshaw, Inman Smith, as well as the WWF's own Lex Luger.
04:11Again, a tremendous debt of gratitude to Dr. James Andrews.
04:15Well, Dr. James Andrews, take a look at the man that can send your practice soaring
04:18through the roof.
04:19This guy, Sid, can send you a lot of patience in the future.
04:23Some would say it was only a matter of time before this psycho did some damage
04:27to someone, and right now he's going to work on his opponent, Mike Curry.
04:30Look at Sid.
04:30Oh, look at him hammering away to the midsection.
04:32Come on, ref, get in there.
04:33Psycho Sid pouring it on Mike Curry.
04:36Calling Dr. Andrews, calling Dr. Andrews.
04:38It's not funny at all.
04:39Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
04:44You hear that Diesel chant, ladies and gentlemen?
04:47The WWF champion convalescing, my goodness,
04:51at home as we speak, watching Monday Night Raw.
04:55And you have to think that Big Daddy Cool may have second thoughts now
04:59about having accepted a tag team match with Bam Bam Bigelow facing Psycho Sid and
05:05Tataka, my goodness.
05:07If he's watching this, he may just have a relapse.
05:09Psycho Sid and Native American Tataka together to lock up with the Beast
05:15from the East and the WWF champion who will return to action in several weeks.
05:19And the WWF champion at home watching this has to relive what happened to him and
05:26in your house.
05:27Although the difference is another 100 pounds in terms of impact
05:32crashing down to the canvas.
05:35Nonetheless, Curry counted to three.
05:38And the winner, Psycho Sid.
05:40The winner of the match, Sid.
05:42Look at him.
05:43Before the broadcast, ladies and gentlemen,
05:46Psycho Sid was loading over the condition of the WWF champion.
05:52That's right, big man, because now Sid knows where Diesel is the weakest.
05:56What's gonna go next when he power bombs him, huh?
05:58Is it gonna be his back?
06:00Is it gonna be Diesel's neck?
06:02Only Sid and Dr. Andrews know for sure.
06:05Look at him.
06:06Kill Diesel.
06:07Kill Bigelow.
06:08How bad.
06:09How bad.
06:10That hurts.
06:11Oh yeah, they're watching, Sid.
06:12Diesel knows just how bad that hurts.
06:13Let's take you to Birmingham, Alabama Health South Medical Center.
06:14Power bomb coming up.
06:15Power bomb, man.
06:16Oh!
06:17Oh!
06:18Oh!
06:19Oh!
06:20Oh!
06:21Oh!
06:22Oh!
06:23Oh!
06:24Oh!
06:25Oh!
06:26Oh!
06:27Oh!
06:28Oh!
06:29Oh!
06:30Oh!
06:31Oh!
06:32Oh!
06:33Oh!
06:34Oh!
06:35Oh!
06:36Oh, I'm standing right now!
06:38Well, I was hurt when Sid power bombed me.
06:41I think I was...
06:42The original...
06:43Uh, injury started when I was choke slammed by him.
06:46Oh!
06:47Rock Pollock possessed by Sid!
06:49I landed hard on my elbow there, and then when he, uh, when he gave me the power bomb,
06:55I thought I broke my arm there for a second.
07:00Diesel was unfortunately power bombed the other night and when he came down he landed right on his
07:08injured elbow and when he was dropped he landed right on that and he ruptured his bursal sac
07:17which caused a lot of bleeding and he ruptured part of the tendon insertion
07:24to this part of his elbow where you see the little fragment and bone spur. At surgery we
07:30made an incision from about there all the way down to about here. We repaired the tendon partial
07:37tear and we evacuated the blood clot that was there and we took out the bursal sac that had
07:44been ruptured. So we anticipate a good recovery. This gentleman has been an excellent patient.
07:53He's very intelligent. He's been through injuries before in all of his different athletic careers
07:59and he's well motivated and is on his way to recovery as we speak.
08:06Well I had an elbow injury and I saw the miracles that he did with Lex Luger's arm
08:12and I think that without a doubt just from word of mouth around athletes in the country
08:17I think he's considered by all of us as the number one orthopedic man in the country.
08:23And as you know our American Sports Medicine Institute is housed across the street. We're
08:28very proud of that research facility which is a for non-profit public foundation devoted to
08:37research and education in sports medicine. We're very involved in the biomechanical aspects of
08:45various sports particularly the overhead throwing sports.
08:50Not only in enhancement of performance but particularly important to us
08:54in the prevention of injuries. Well as you know Dietzel's quite tall and in fact when I first
09:00looked at him I was glad it wasn't his shoulder his neck I had to examine. It was his elbow which
09:06put his elbow right at eye level for me. Again a special debt of gratitude to Dr. James Andrews as
09:11well as to Lanier Johnson at HealthSouth Medical Center. Come on don't they calm down you're not
09:15scared don't worry don't worry shut up I'm not scared am I not don't worry you're not scared
09:20do not worry about it I'm ready I've prepared the undertaker I ain't afraid of you.
09:30Welcome back everyone to our Monday Night Raw.
09:34Yes indeed a lot of fireworks going off here in the United States this Memorial Day weekend.
09:38We certainly hope you're enjoying it. Monday Night Raw thus far and by the way the greatest
09:43pay-per-view extravaganza of all time Wrestlemania is coming to broadcast television. Yes the world

10:07Tune in this Sunday night check your local listings for time and channel. Don't miss
10:12Wrestlemania 11 the special. Nice reversal there by Adam Bomb against Bob Cook. That's
10:17elbow to the butt of the jaw. Cook with another forearm now. Cook trying to set up the creation
10:22of devastation. Reversal coming off the rope and over the hip nicely done. Bob Cook with a bit of
10:28a lunge and a big slam by Adam Bomb. Another pick up and another slam. Adam Bomb pretty much in
10:35control over his opponent Bob Cook and you can bet speaking of control the matchup yet to come.
10:42Yes the WWF King of the Ring qualifying matchup will be out of control. The Undertaker against
10:49Double J and Double J is shaking in his boots. He is not scared. Yeah. You heard him say it.
10:57I heard him say it. I heard him say it twice. Well he's Double J. He doubles everything. I see.
11:02And uh all right King here try this. What? USA read this. Well oh okay yeah. Thursday on USA

11:42rematch. Let's get through this. Thursday night on USA. Go ahead. Wishes come true and nightmares

11:56Albert Brooks, and John Lithgow star in the USA movie. Thursday night at nine eight central.
12:02Finally got through it. From the top Adam Bomb. I'll never forget that Twilight Zone you starred in.
12:08Cover the count and a victory for Adam Bomb. What are you talking about? Remember when William
12:12Shatner was on the plane and he kept looking out the window and you were out there on the wing of
12:15the plane? Was it me? Just like you. Adam Bomb. The creation of devastation.
12:23Victorious here tonight on Monday Night Raw. In a moment ladies and gentlemen we're going to send
12:28you to a special King of the Ring report with Todd Pettengill in which we are told Todd is
12:33going to have an interview that was conducted prior to the operation in which Big Daddy Cool
12:40Diesel and Bam Bam Bigelow accepted the challenge of Psycho Sid and Tataka for the tag team matchup
12:47for the King of the Ring. Look at Adam Bomb. He's got a pretty good arm. He does. Which is
12:52more than I can say for Diesel. That's not funny at all. Let's take you now to Todd Pettengill.
13:10Man what a night this is. You saw the Bomb Squad there in full effect. Adam Bomb with a victory.
13:15I've got Connie Chung calling me for a job. Yeah who knows. The Chungster in a cage match at King
13:21of the Ring. Anything can happen here in the World Wrestling Federation. Of course the next huge thing
13:26to happen is indeed the King of the Ring Spectacular. Sunday night June the 25th from the
13:31Core State Spectrum in Philadelphia on pay-per-view totally live at seven o'clock eastern for Pacific.
13:37It was a huge weekend in the World Wrestling Federation. Big Daddy Cool Diesel and Bam Bam
13:42Bigelow have accepted Ted DiBiase's challenge to face Sid and Tataka. Now you saw footage there.
13:48Big Daddy Cool Diesel he is recuperating from that injury. However this past weekend no reservations
13:54with Bam Bam and accepting that matchup. I'm not gonna quit King of the Ring. I'm not gonna quit
14:00being your friend and I'm not gonna quit watching your back and we aren't gonna quit until a corporation
14:09is bankrupt and broke.
14:17And when we mean broke we mean broke.
14:24This is shaping up to be quite a night of action indeed but I'll tell you guys another
14:27match I would love to see. The Hitman Bret Hart taking on Jerry Lawler. How about it Burger,
14:33I mean King. Bret's made his challenge very clear. What are you gonna do?
14:37All right Jerry what about it? First of all let me say this to Todd Pettengill.
14:42It's none of your stinking business. Do you understand that? I'll give you and Bret the
14:47Hitman Hart and all the rest of these morons the answer when I'm good and ready. You wanted
14:51somebody in the ring with Bret Hart get in there with him yourself Pettengill. You're a coward
14:54aren't you? What? You have the audacity to say something like that to my face McMahon?
14:59Huh? Wait I just mean. You want me to slap your toupee off? I will you know. Why don't you just
15:04accept the challenge? I'll do what I want. Anytime, anyplace, any kind of match. You don't want no
15:09more of me. Do you understand that? Bret Hart you're an idiot. You don't want me to humiliate
15:14you again. You don't want me to beat you like the dog that you are again. Scouting up next
15:19ladies and gentlemen Alundra Blaze the WWF Women's Champion. Stay tuned. Monday Night Raw is brought
15:27to you by Sega. Makers of Genesis, Color Game Gear, Sega CD and the fastest, coolest video games
15:35ever. On his way now ladies and gentlemen. Did you make reference earlier to this gentleman as
15:43your sushi eating friend? He's a very close personal friend of mine. You wouldn't know
15:49anything about that would you? The single actually not the single reason. He and Shinja certainly one
15:57of the reasons why. In the record book look it up it says Jerry the King Lawler actually pinned.
16:04Can you believe it? He pinned Bret the Hitman Hart during In Your House. Enough said, enough said.
16:09That's all you need to know. Unbelievable. And we have asked of course when you're going to accept
16:15the challenge or if you're going to accept the challenge from Bret the Hitman Hart but.
16:20Well I want to know when Helen Hart is going to accept the challenge from my beautiful mother.
16:23That wasn't your mom. That was my mother. You know it was. You know where I get my good looks from.
16:30And she challenged Helen Hart. Helen Hart has not responded. Hasn't responded? To treatment that is.
16:37Treatment for what? Haven't you heard big man? Helen Hart's got that old-timers disease.
16:44Old-timers? Yeah. You know where you forget everything? But who could blame her? If you had a son like Bret Hart
16:51you'd want to forget him too. He dedicates the match to his mother on Mother's Day and then goes out and loses.
16:58Unbelievable. Bret the Hitman Hart certainly has not forgotten that. Wait a minute. What's in here?
17:06What is in this bag? Look. A hush has fallen over this capacity. Crowd is. Shinji opens up that
17:15burlap bag. Rolls it down. Hakushi reaching in and pulling out. Wow. Look at that.
17:28Oh wait a minute. That's a fake. I can't believe this. I wish that were real though. Man.
17:35That's the best Bret Hart ever looked. How dare you say that? You know what? It's a good thing
17:40they didn't pull out Helen Hart's head. Everybody in the first five rows would have thrown up.
17:46All right. You're gonna get it. What? You're gonna get it from Bret Hart one way or the other.
17:51I think you have an option. Only one. Either sign a match or the Hitman's gonna come right out here
17:56now. I'd be more worried about getting it from Helen Hart. You know those canes can really smart.
18:00All right. Here we go. Locking up now ladies and gentlemen. They call him the modern day
18:04kamikaze. Hakushi. Hakushi off the rope and down goes his opponent. Snikowski. Snikowski back up.
18:12Maybe not for long. Hakushi ladies and gentlemen. Oh what a chop. Yes. Looking forward to the
18:19opportunity of once again squaring off against Bret the Hitman Hart. If any of you saw that
18:24matchup in your house you saw a classic. Truly one of the great matches in WWF history and Bret
18:32the Hitman Hart. Likewise very much looking forward to an opportunity of getting back in
18:37the ring with Hakushi. Considering what Hakushi and Shinja pulled in that match with you Jerry
18:43Lawler. Don't start that McMahon. It's just you gotta realize Bret Hart is a despised individual
18:49in the World Wrestling Federation. Everybody wants to get their hands on the Hitman.
18:53It was an unfortunate situation with the referee. His foot locked ladies and gentlemen. And the
18:57ropes turned upside down. Could not see what was going on in a matchup with Jerry Lawler
19:02against the Hitman in your house. Could not see what Shinja and Hakushi were doing to help you
19:08out. You gotta be kidding me. Shinja came all the way out there. Made a special trip. Went out of
19:12his way to help the referee back into the ring so that he could count Bret Hart out. Oh he helped
19:16him all right after the damage was done. Body slam. Watch this. And Hakushi down across the
19:23chest. No question about this man's extraordinary athleticism. He's truly one of a kind and really
19:29took Bret the Hitman Hart to the limit. And likely to do it again. And you're wondering the
19:35state of mind Bret Hart is in. I mean Bret is dejected. Let's face it ladies and gentlemen.
19:40He's embarrassed. Embarrassed more than anything that's ever happened in his career Jerry Lawler
19:45because of you. And because of Shinja. What do you have to do to take his mother out? Wait a minute.
19:49Wait a minute. Look at this. Come on. Mikowski taking it. No wait a minute. Reversal. And down
19:54to the canvas. I was going to say what do you have to do to take Helen Hart out in public?
19:58Is that why Bret Hart's so embarrassed? Go ahead and admit it McMahon. You've seen less wrinkles on a
20:03raisin than she's got on her face. Stop it. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to tell
20:08Hakushi and Shinja to save that bag right there and give it to Bret the Hitman Hart. And then
20:12whenever Helen goes out in public they can put that bag over her head. A count of three. Hakushi is
20:18victorious. One day you can bet unlike you he'll be in the WWF Hall of Fame.
20:28Hi again everybody. Todd Pettengill here to talk to you about the World Wrestling Federation Hall
20:32of Fame induction ceremony. This gala event happens the night before the King of the Ring
20:37on Saturday June the 24th from the beautiful Marriott Hotel in Philadelphia. Last week we
20:42announced this year's first inductee the late Antonino Raka who wrestled in the 50s and 60s
20:50barefoot. Another inductee this year is the Big Cat Ernie Lang. One of the first athletes to gain
20:56recognition in two sports, football and wrestling. And introducing the third inductee to the WWF
21:04Hall of Fame, Ivan Putski. His signature move, the Polish Hammer. And what Putski match would be
21:11complete without this. Both more inductees will be announced in the weeks to come. Now don't go
21:19away because we'll have a special interview with the WWF Women's Champion Alundra Blaze when we
21:24come back. Ladies and gentlemen, would you please welcome the WWF Women's Champion Alundra Blaze.
21:38Oh boy, here she comes.
21:47Whoa, the swelling hasn't quite gone out of that nose yet.
21:57Last time I saw a nose like that it was picking up peanuts.
22:04Somebody told me every time she's down in the dumps she gets a new dress.
22:07It's like that's where she got that one. Look at McMahon.
22:18They're both wearing cheap wigs.
22:24Oh yeah, how about it Alundra Blaze.
22:34The last time we saw you on Monday Night Raw you regained the World Wrestling Federation Championship.
22:40A tremendous matchup, a great victory, one of the greatest matches ever in WWF history,
22:49defeating Bull Nakano. However, after the match was over your celebration was sort of a short-lived,
22:56if you will, due to the interference of this woman who calls herself Bertha Faye.
23:02Well, on April 3rd I regained the championship title and then out of nowhere Bertha Faye,
23:10a woman I don't even know, I didn't, how do you know who she was, came up and busted my nose.
23:16But I will let you know, I am ready for you Bertha Faye. And that little sidekick Harvey
23:23Wimpleman, and I think there are rumors that this is your boyfriend.
23:28But now, I mean, it's much more exciting to be here on Monday Night Raw tonight to let all of my
23:35fans and everyone know that I am back in the WWF, stronger than ever, and to keep the WWF title for
23:45a long, long time. Alright, Alundra Blaze.
23:52Well, we won't have to wait a long, long time to see the King of the Ring,
23:55qualifying match between The Undertaker and Double J, because it's coming up soon.
23:59Ooh, don't blow that kiss my way.
24:01Owen Hart, the reigning King of the Ring, feels he should have a bye into the tournament.
24:06I did it!
24:08But instead, he must battle The Bulldog in order to qualify.
24:13The British Bulldog, he must triumph over his brother-in-law in order to become the third
24:19family member to occupy the throne.
24:21Owen Hart clashes with the British Bulldog in a King of the Ring qualifying match next week on
24:28Monday Night Raw.
24:33Men on a mission in the squared circle at the moment here on Monday Night Raw, stepping over
24:37the top rope, that is Mabel, ladies and gentlemen, his partner Moe in the ring right now.
24:40Moe locking up, my goodness, with Gary Scott.
24:43Scott joining his partner, Aaron Ferguson.
24:46And men on a mission have been just that, Jerry Lawler.
24:48They have been on a mission, look at this.
24:50And a boot to the midsection.
24:52Yes, a hard right hand and another one.
24:54Hammering away, Jerry Scott trying to set up a front kick, nicely done.
24:58And a cover.
25:00That would be an upset.
25:02Who knows what's gonna happen here on Monday Night Raw.
25:04Anything can happen.
25:06Gonna say their mission almost took a detour, but now they're back on the right track.
25:08The Smoking Guns.
25:10Very much looking forward to the opportunity here on Monday Night Raw.
25:12of stepping back into the ring with men on a mission.
25:14Uh-oh, look out, here comes the big one.
25:16Wow.
25:18Mabel over the 500 pound mark, ladies and gentlemen.
25:20Mabel, the first man to qualify for the King of the Ring tournament.
25:22You saw, many of you did, in your house with a victory over Adam Bomb.
25:24And an impressive victory it was.
25:26Mabel is a house.
25:28Off the rope.
25:30And a cover.
25:32And a cover.
25:34And a cover.
25:36And a cover.
25:38And a cover.
25:40And a house.
25:42Off the rope and back.
25:44Body drop.
25:46How about Davey Boy Smith?
25:48Hoisting Mabel on his shoulders.
25:50We saw the footage last week
25:52here on Raw.
25:54What strength on the part of the British Bulldog.
25:56I'm gonna give him credit on that.
25:58I gotta admit, that was impressive.
26:00And the British Bulldog hoping to be equally
26:02impressive here next week.
26:04In the King of the Ring qualifying matchup
26:06against Owen Hart.
26:08Father-in-law, Owen Hart.
26:10The defending King of the Ring.
26:12Arm drag takedown by Scott.
26:14Owen Hart, the defending King of the Ring
26:16King.
26:18Hence the name King of Hart.
26:24And Aaron Ferguson in the ring for the first time.
26:26Let's see what Ferguson can do.
26:28He can collapse.
26:30I feel sort of sorry for him.
26:34What's his name? Aaron Ferguson?
26:36Not Aaron Ferguson.
26:38The British Bulldog.
26:40Can you imagine having Helen Hart for a mother-in-law?
26:42Alright, there you go again.
26:44Ferguson stunned and
26:46I believe out at the moment.
26:48You have to take her
26:50pit pterodactyl out for a walk.
26:52I beg your pardon?
26:54Take her what?
26:56Pit pterodactyl.
26:58Pit pterodactyl.
27:00In the ring right now, ladies and gentlemen.
27:02Mabel tagging back in.
27:04Come on, Raph.
27:06Mabel against Ferguson.
27:08By the way, Mabel will meet the winner,
27:10ladies and gentlemen, of the Undertaker
27:12Double J matchup, which we will see
27:14in a few minutes.
27:16Those of you wishing
27:18to follow the condition of Big Daddy
27:20Cool Diesel, Jim Ross is
27:22going to be giving us daily updates on
27:24option 6 on the WWF
27:26Superstar line.
27:28That's
27:301-900-737 for WWF.
27:32A reminder, it is an investment
27:34of $1.49 per minute.
27:36And kids, please get your parents' permission
27:38before calling if you're under 18 years
27:40of age. I would suggest
27:42if you call the Superstar line, you might want to check
27:44out option 2.
27:46Option 2.
27:48Oh my goodness!
27:50Look at this! Scott
27:52hoisted high above. Why option
27:542? Because on option 2
27:56you're going to get to find out
27:58when Harvey Whippleman and
28:00Bertha Faye are going to get hitched.
28:02An appropriate
28:04number. To the buckle!
28:06And Mabel, ladies and gentlemen, what's he
28:08doing now? Mabel knocking Ferguson off
28:10the apron. Look out! Here comes
28:12Mabel! Wow!
28:14Get out, boy! Get out!
28:16And Scott is out. Watch this.
28:18Oh no! A pancake!
28:20A cover!
28:22A count! And a victory.
28:24It deserved.
28:26We mentioned before that Mabel was the first man to
28:28qualify for the King of the Ring tournament.
28:30Standing by Todd Pettengill to let us know
28:32who else has qualified for the
28:34King of the Ring tournament. Take it away
28:36Mr. Pettengill.
28:38Pettengill back here to talk more about the
28:40King of the Ring happening in less than 4 weeks
28:42at the Core State Spectrum in Philly.
28:44Live on pay-per-view at 7 o'clock
28:46Eastern for Pacific. Let's focus
28:48for now on the actual King of the Ring tournament.
28:50Eight elite WWF
28:52superstars must qualify for a chance
28:54to be crowned king. And that can only
28:56be by defeating three
28:58WWF superstars in one night.
29:00Who's it going to be this year?
29:02Well, Mabel has advanced.
29:04Of course we just saw how devastating Mabel can
29:06be and I dare say
29:08he may be the early odds on favorite
29:10to win it all. However, the tenacious
29:12Bob Holly has also advanced
29:14along with the bad guy Razor Ramon
29:16and of course Shawn Michaels
29:18who made his much anticipated
29:20return to the World Wrestling Federation
29:22right here last week. The supreme
29:24fighting machine Kama has also
29:26qualified and carries the hopes of
29:28the Million Dollar Corporation into battle.
29:30Folks, I understand Double J
29:32Jeff Jarrett has finally got his
29:34nerves settled and we will see if
29:36he can advance over the awesome
29:38Undertaker in just a few
29:40moments. And next week here on
29:42Raw, we will see the British
29:44Bulldog Davey Boy Smith square
29:46off against his brother-in-law and current
29:48King of the Ring, Owen Hart.
29:50Right now, let's send you guys back to
29:52the ringside. And Vince, any answer
29:54from the King yet? No, Todd.
29:56Unfortunately, the King is clammed up.
29:58However, standing by is Barry
30:00Dubinsky. Barry, what do you have to commemorate
30:02Monday Night Raw tonight?
30:04I'll tell you what I got for you tonight, Vince.
30:06Take a look at the brand new Undertaker
30:08t-shirt. It's glowing out there just
30:10like he is. It's available in small,
30:12medium, large, extra large
30:14and for you big guys, the XXL.
30:16It's only $16 by calling
30:181-800-808-RAW.
30:20Take a look at the brand
30:22new Monday Night Raw hat.
30:24One size does fit all.
30:26It's only $14.
30:281-800-8808-RAW. Back to you
30:30at ringside, Vince.
30:32Well, all right indeed.
30:34I wonder if a double
30:36chain's gonna be put in one of
30:38those t-shirts and then shoved
30:40into one of those body bags.
30:42Come on, McMahon. Look at this. He's the champ!
30:44He's the champ. Well, he better
30:46be very glad that this is not
30:48a WWF Intercontinental title matchup.
30:50No, no. This is for
30:52qualification. You see just who will be
30:54in the King of
30:56the Ring tournament.
30:58Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
31:00I think he can actually just perch
31:02the crown right on top of that hat.
31:04A double J crown, huh?
31:06Yeah.
31:08Will the light spike be turned out for
31:10Double J, Jeff Jarrett?
31:12We've waited some time. The Undertaker.
31:14More aggressive than ever.
31:16The Undertaker, I'm sure,
31:18is gonna be looking forward to locking up
31:20with Double J, and we're gonna have
31:22that matchup when we return.
31:26We're back, everyone, and Double J
31:28anxiously awaiting the presence of
31:30uh, uh-oh.
31:32You can feel that chill.
31:38The lights are out.
31:40Double J is
31:42winking and blinking.
31:44What did you do to my flashlight, man?
31:48Double J.
31:50About to lock up with
31:52indeed a phenom here in the
31:54WWF.
32:06Looking back, watching this
32:08matchup, ladies and gentlemen, will be
32:10the Supreme Fighting Machine,
32:12who has already qualified
32:14for the King of the Ring
32:16tournament, and will square off
32:18against the heartbreak
32:20kid, Shawn Michaels.
32:22What a triumphant return
32:24Shawn Michaels has made here
32:26to the WWF.
32:28Everybody remembers Shawn Michaels' performance
32:30at WrestleMania. Those of you who missed it, you have
32:32an opportunity to see the WWF
32:34champion, Big Daddy Cool Diesel,
32:36Shawn Michaels, Lawrence
32:38Taylor in his first and only
32:40appearance in the squared trackup.
32:42Perhaps his favorite band. Think about the essence.
32:44WrestleMania 11 The Special
32:46this Sunday night. Check your local
32:48listings, ladies and gentlemen. Make sure
32:50you don't miss the world
32:52television broadcast premiere of
32:54WrestleMania 11. It's the
32:56greatest pay-per-view extravaganza of all
32:58time. You can see it this
33:00Sunday night.
33:02Where's Double J? Where is he?
33:04Lost in the darkness.
33:06He's here. He's somewhere.
33:08He's shaking in his boots as we said
33:10before.
33:12As almost
33:14anyone would be.
33:16There's a certain ambience.
33:18A certain presence
33:20that you feel unmistakably
33:22when you're
33:24in the arena with
33:26The Undertaker. Look at Double J's face.
33:28He's trying to convince himself, I'm not afraid.
33:30Am I?
33:32You think he is? Yeah, not much.
33:34That's the king of the ring qualifying
33:36matchup.
33:40The Undertaker.
33:42Awesome. Over
33:44300 pounds on him.
33:46And if Double J is right, look at
33:48the road. He's trying to climb the ropes to get out
33:50of there.
33:52Double J has got to be determined. He's got to realize
33:54if he gets past
33:56over 300 pounds of Undertaker,
33:58he's got to face over 500 pounds of
34:00Mabel. And there's a
34:02Undertaker would-be out in the audience.
34:04We saw him before.
34:06Veroni.
34:08Very cautious. Look at him. On the outside.
34:10On the apron. Look at this.
34:12Gotta get a dress code for these audiences.
34:14Get a dress code for
34:16Double J. Look at that outfit, would you?
34:18Very fancy.
34:20Very nice. A look of concern
34:22on the face of Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
34:28And we can't very well see that face.
34:30Don't want to.
34:32And here he comes.
34:34Turn around, Double J. No!
34:36Double J's gonna have to be lightning
34:38like quick. Double J, make no mistake
34:40about this man's athleticism. A tremendous
34:42competitor. And he's gonna have to
34:44pull out all the stops here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
34:46Keep those feet going.
34:48Stay away from him. Yeah.
34:50Feet don't fail me now. To the outside.
34:52Double J.
34:54That's not exactly an offensive maneuver, is it?
34:56Well, it is in this
34:58particular match.
35:00We're about to read that copy again for
35:02USA. Even you're upset
35:04by the presence of The Undertaker.
35:06Double J, right back into the ring.
35:08Don't let him come around here.
35:10And Double J capitalizing
35:12on The Undertaker coming in through the bottom rope.
35:14Double J hammering away now.
35:16Double J, Jeff Jarrett, sets up The Undertaker.
35:18Off the rope, in the back. No!
35:20Nice maneuver by The Undertaker.
35:22Undertaker, what a
35:24chop! Get back out of the ring.
35:26And Double J better do something.
35:28A blatant chokehold.
35:30Get in there, ref.
35:32Well, maybe not quite that close.
35:34The Undertaker
35:36against Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
35:38Imagine The Undertaker as the King of the Ring.
35:40Who would stop him?
35:42Undertaker with Double J
35:44from pillar to post.
35:46Thus far, this is all
35:48The Undertaker. Double J, very
35:50sorry. He has signed on to be
35:52in this King of the Ring qualifying matchup.
35:54The Undertaker
35:56as a king. I might have to turn
35:58in my crown.
36:00That might not be all you turn in
36:02as The Undertaker bridges that left elbow.
36:04And going
36:06up now. Is he gonna go?
36:08He's gonna go all the way up to the top!
36:10Look at
36:12that balance!
36:14The Undertaker now!
36:16Pushing down across the left shoulder
36:18of Double J, Jeff Jarrett and the roadie
36:20beside himself. He can't do anything to help
36:22Double J. He's gonna have to think of something
36:24to do.
36:26The Undertaker
36:28all offense here.
36:30Grabbing Double J by the jaw.
36:32And what's he gonna do? Headbutt!
36:34And Double J
36:36may think he's in Music City right now
36:38after that headbutt.
36:40Off the rope! Uh-oh.
36:42Wait a minute. Grabbing the ankle
36:44on the outside of the roadie. I didn't see that.
36:46A boot to the midsection.
36:48The Undertaker with eyes in the back of his head.
36:50Maybe on the sides too.
36:52The Undertaker with Double J.
36:54What's he gonna do? Scoops up!
36:56Slams the Intercontinental Champion.
36:58And Double J not
37:00exactly looking like championship material at the
37:02moment. Elbow! Yeah! No!
37:04There you go.
37:06Don't ever count Double J out too soon.
37:08Uh-huh. And oh no!
37:10Look at that! On his feet
37:12The Undertaker. Oh! Yes!
37:14Yes! Yes!
37:16And from behind Double J
37:18attacking The Undertaker, driving him down
37:20to the outside.
37:22Down into the metal steps. The Undertaker
37:24should have been disqualified already. What do you mean?
37:26Well he grabbed the roadie out there.
37:28The roadie was disqualified. Look at that.
37:30The roadie getting a cheap lick now.
37:32Into the rib area behind the referee. He's back again.
37:36And the roadie and Double J
37:38trying a double teaming effort on the
37:40inside as well as the outside
37:42to try and slow down this phenom
37:44known as The Undertaker.
37:46If I can reach him, I might give him a shot myself.
37:48Yeah, right. Oh, look at that!
37:50Getting closer.
37:52Go ahead, reach right over. He's right there in front of you.
37:54No, no, no. Go ahead.
37:56Still got a little life left in him.
37:58And Paul Bear coming over
38:00to add a little
38:02moral support to The Undertaker.
38:04He wishes he had that
38:06urn for support.
38:08Yes, no question about it. The urn
38:10melted down by the Supreme
38:12Fighting Machine, who now wears
38:14the urn as a necklace.
38:16Double J, go!
38:18Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
38:20Under normal circumstances, you'll see
38:22quite a bit of scientific knowledge displayed.
38:24But not here, no!
38:26Double J just trying to do what he can
38:28to slow down The Undertaker. Another dropkick
38:30and down he goes! A cover!
38:32A count! He gets to it!
38:34That's all he gets. I don't think I've ever
38:36seen that before. The Undertaker taking down with a
38:38dropkick. Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
38:40Most accomplished, as we said
38:42before, he's not the Intercontinental Champion for nothing.
38:44Come on, ref! Double J!
38:46With all his weight down across the back.
38:48Double J, Jeff Jarrett. With
38:50momentum. Down again! I can do it.
38:52And The Undertaker
38:54feeling the effect of the aggressiveness
38:56of Double J, Jeff Jarrett, the reigning
38:58Intercontinental Champion. Now what?
39:00Double J, ladies
39:02and gentlemen, on the tap!
39:04Undertaker up, but not for long!
39:06A cover!
39:08Will this do it? A count!
39:10He's got it! No. Only a count of two
39:12and Double J and the roadie beside
39:14themselves. They feel like they're close
39:16to victory. They could very well be.
39:18And what an upset that would be.
39:20Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
39:22Going to work now on the knee of The Undertaker.
39:24Yes, now the other leg.
39:26Double J, Jeff Jarrett, continuing
39:28to hammer away. He knows he's gotta keep this big
39:30man down on the mat. There you go. You gotta get him down.
39:32Figure Four Leg Lock is coming! No, it's
39:34not. Respectively of Double J,
39:36the Figure Four Leg Lock, he's doing
39:38everything he can to soften up the legs
39:40of this phenomenal Undertaker. Down!
39:42Will we see the Figure Four Leg Lock?
39:44I think so. Stay tuned and find out!
39:48We're back, everyone, with more Monday Night Raw.
39:50Double J, Jeff Jarrett has continued
39:52to pummel the legs of The
39:54Undertaker, and things not looking
39:56good at all. Here we go!
39:58Yes, here it comes, the Figure Four Leg Lock.
40:00Double J's specialty, and
40:02it hasn't cinched in! Have you ever
40:04seen The Undertaker give up?
40:06I've never seen anyone not be able to-
40:08Oh, come on!
40:10Come on, ref, turn around!
40:12Additional leverage applied!
40:14Paul Bearer back in his corner. Paul Bearer coming
40:16after the roadie. He's after the roadie!
40:18Paul Bearer is gonna get into it
40:20with the roadie! I can't believe it!
40:22Paul Bearer will sign himself! He better watch it.
40:26And hanging onto the ropes. Come on, ref.
40:28Still.
40:30Finally, the hold is broken here,
40:32but unquestionably, the legs have been
40:34damaged. The Undertaker can't stand. Yes, he can.
40:36He's on his feet somehow.
40:38After all of that, The Undertaker
40:40is standing! The Undertaker
40:42with a knee!
40:44Come on, Double J! The Undertaker with a boot
40:46to the midsection!
40:48And Double J! Oh!
40:50Double J in trauma!
40:52Double J into
40:54big time trauma!
40:56And to the buckle!
40:58Undertaker! No!
41:00Wow! That is it!
41:02Come on, get on him!
41:04What a maneuver by Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
41:06Again, we said he was clever. He was crafty.
41:08And, here we... Oh, come on.
41:10Just hammering away. Double J
41:12perhaps should go for the cover. I'm not kidding.
41:14Double J hammering away on the carcass
41:16of The Undertaker. Now what?
41:18Up on the top
41:20now. The referee for the count.
41:22And Double J!
41:24Whoa! From left field, ramming the elbow.
41:26He wants to do more than just finishing.
41:28He wants to also send a message
41:30to Mabel.
41:32You can bet Mabel is watching this matchup.
41:34And I'm not too sure
41:36who Mabel would want to face.
41:38Whoa!
41:40Double J
41:42throwing his staff
41:44perhaps a little prematurely.
41:46Off the rope. Double J with a right hand block.
41:48Undertaker on target!
41:50Another chop by The Undertaker.
41:52Undertaker with a boot to the midsection.
41:54Undertaker setting up Double J, Jeff Jarrett. No, no.
41:56Nice reversal by Double J and...
41:58Whoa!
42:00From high above the rafters, The Undertaker
42:02with that clothesline.
42:04And now it's The Undertaker with momentum.
42:06You can see the anxiety on the face
42:08of the roadie on the outside. The Undertaker now.
42:10Moving right back in.
42:12Can anything stop this monster?
42:14This Undertaker? To the buckle, Double J.
42:16The Undertaker... Uh-oh, and that stopped him.
42:18A knee to the jaw.
42:20Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
42:22Whoa!
42:24Down on the canvas.
42:26The Undertaker.
42:28What's he gonna do now?
42:30Is he reaching down?
42:32Look out, Double J, look out!
42:34Oh, yeah!
42:36Undertaker reaching back down for Double J.
42:38Double J hops the top of the canvas.
42:40The roadie can't believe it.
42:42Now what's gonna happen?
42:44Double J's not moving.
42:46The Undertaker.
42:48Undertaker now.
42:50Must make his move.
42:52Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
42:54Undertaker.
42:56Moving in on Double J.
42:58Scoops him up and here it comes.
43:00Here comes the tombstone.
43:02Nothing can stop the Undertaker.
43:04It's another...
43:06Oh!
43:08Oh, no.
43:10And Double J, Jeff Jarrett,
43:12as far as his participation
43:14in the King of the Ring tournament,
43:16you'll be resting in peace.
43:18The Undertaker.
43:20The Undertaker.
43:22You'll be resting in peace.
43:28A tremendous victory by the Undertaker.
43:30And I must say,
43:32a tremendous effort
43:34on the part of Double J and Jeff Jarrett.
43:36He better be glad this was not
43:38an Intercontinental title matchup.
43:40The roadie there with Double J.
43:42Tricking Double J.
43:44Or what's left of him back to the locker room area.
43:46And now imagine if you will,
43:48Mabel.
43:50Mabel.
43:52Mabel knowing full well
43:54that now Mabel,
43:56he must face the Undertaker
43:58in the first matchup
44:00of the King of the Ring tournament.
44:02Boom.
44:04When we return,
44:06we'll hear about next week's Monday Night Raw.
44:08Plus, we'll also hear comments
44:10from potential presidential
44:12Colton Tate, Bob Macklin.
44:14Stay with us.
44:16Welcome back, everyone,
44:18to Monday Night Raw.
44:20You can hear the chant, Burger King.
44:22What about it, Jerry the King Lawler?
44:24Everybody wants you to make up your mind.
44:26Actually, you want to make up your mind for you.
44:28Yes, they want you back in the ring with the Hitman.
44:30Oh, yeah.
44:32Well, why don't some of these morons
44:34that shout Burger King get in there with the Hitman?
44:36Or better yet, why don't you get in there with me?
44:38Why don't any one of you punks
44:40climb in the ring with-
44:42Please, get a hold of yourself.
44:44Challenging the fans.
44:46Savio Vega, the man who came out of nowhere
44:48to help the bad guy Razor Ramon.
44:50And in your house, Savio in action.
44:52Plus, Man Mountain Rock,
44:54who's gonna rock the house.
44:56Oh, these people want Bret.
44:58But next week, they're gonna get to see Owen,
45:00the current king, in a qualifying match
45:02against the British Bulldog.
45:04The winner's gonna be Razor Ramon.
45:06You can hear this. We want Bret.
45:08Everybody wants the Hitman,
45:10except Jerry the King Lawler.
45:12Oh, yeah, I want him. I want him, McMahon.
45:14I want to humiliate him some more,
45:16but if the truth is known,
45:18and I'm gonna tell you the truth,
45:20that's all you'll ever hear from me.
45:22Bret Hart really don't want any more of the king.
45:24And I also want to know,
45:26when is Helen Hart gonna answer the challenge
45:28that my mother has issued to her?
45:30That's when I'll accept Bret Hart's challenge.
45:32Let's take you to Bob Backlund.
45:34Ladies and gentlemen, something that has gone undaunted
45:36in our society for a number of years
45:38is the type of music that our youth listen to.
45:40I'm gonna require
45:42that they listen to classical music.
45:44Beethoven and Bach.
45:46That's what would boon their intelligence.
45:48This rock-and-roll garbage
45:50has had a deleterious effect
45:52on our society for a number of years.
45:54Just look at the crime rate.
45:56It should be abolished immediately.
45:58Well, you bet Mr. Backlund's not gonna like
46:00the presence of Man Mountain Rock here next week.
46:02We will be live, ladies and gentlemen.
46:04Who knows what's gonna happen next week
46:06on Monday Night Raw?
46:08So long, everybody. Thanks for joining us.
