00:00for over 50 years, the revolutionary force in sports entertainment.
00:05♪
00:30Welcome, everyone, to Monday Night Raw.
00:33Vince McMahon here at ringside,
00:34along with Jerry The King Lawler,
00:35on their way to the spark circle.
00:37The tag team champions of the WWF, the Body Dynast,
00:40one of whom, Zip, will meet Ahmed Johnson
00:42one-on-one here momentarily.
00:44There's a shot of Sonny, but where is Sonny?
00:47Oh, don't worry, McMahon.
00:48Sonny's here.
00:49I saw earlier.
00:50I just hope Shawn Michaels
00:51doesn't have her cornered
00:52back in the back somewhere.
00:53Hey, speaking of Shawn Michaels, McMahon,
00:55when do you see the big news?
00:56When do you see the big news?
00:58When do you see what happened to Shawn Michaels
01:00over in Kuwait?
01:01The footage is here.
01:02I've seen it.
01:03It's unbelievable.
01:04While speaking of Kuwait,
01:05you might state that Ahmed Johnson
01:07took the desert by a storm.
01:08He became the first Kuwait International Tournament
01:10champion just yesterday in Kuwait City,
01:13and JR's here with him now.
01:15Jim Ross, are you there?
01:16Jerry, I'm Vince, here with Ahmed Johnson.
01:18We're gonna be meeting one half
01:19of the WWF Tag Team Champions, Zip,
01:22but he's not alone.
01:23Skip is with him.
01:24Does that concern you?
01:26Jeff, your guitar didn't stop me.
01:28Baby boy's table didn't stop me.
01:30Hey, Ahmed, don't worry
01:31about guitars and tables.
01:33You gotta worry about Zip
01:34and Sonny, by the way.
01:36Well, I...
01:37What do we have here?
01:39Oh, man.
01:40I think you missed a spot.
01:41Let me help you with that.
01:42You know, Sonny,
01:44I've read all about you
01:45being ranked in the top ten
01:46most beautiful women in the world, okay?
01:48But unfortunately,
01:49I don't mess with the poor people.
01:50My mom always told me,
01:52take trash out,
01:53don't bring it in.
01:55Oh!
01:56Oh, my goodness.
01:58Can you believe that?
01:59Ahmed Johnson.
02:00He dissed her, McMahon.
02:02He did.
02:03Just a planty song.
02:05Ahmed Johnson against Zip and the Bodyguard.
02:07Here he comes, ladies and gentlemen,
02:09the Slammy Award-winning
02:10New Sensation of the Square and Circle.
02:12And, of course, as we stated just a moment ago,
02:14the winner of the very first-ever
02:16Kuwait International Tournament,
02:18Ahmed Johnson.
02:19Yeah, McMahon, but he called Sonny trash.
02:21I guarantee you she won't take that laying down.
02:23Sonny is conniving.
02:24She's manipulative.
02:25You can bet she's gonna be out here at ringside.
02:27She's gonna cause trouble,
02:28no doubt, here tonight on Raw.
02:29And what happens tonight, as well,
02:31when The Undertaker joins her?
02:32Oh, that's gonna be good.
02:33But talk about trouble.
02:34We got trouble for you later on
02:36when Vader shows up.
02:37What about it, King?
02:39Shawn Michaels, non-title.
02:41Shawn Michaels right here on Raw
02:43against Hunter Hurst Helmsley.
02:44I'll tell you this,
02:45it's a good thing for Shawn Michaels
02:46that the title's not at stake
02:47because Hunter Hurst Helmsley
02:48has Shawn Michaels' number.
02:50And I'll tell you what else,
02:51Hunter Hurst Helmsley
02:52is always accompanied
02:53by a beautiful lady.
02:54And Shawn Michaels
02:55will probably be trying to hit him.
02:56Come on, come on, come on.
02:57He'll be trying to make a date
02:58with Hunter Hurst Helmsley.
03:00That's enough of this.
03:01Ahmed Johnson.
03:02That's what'll happen.
03:03For those of you
03:04who just joined us
03:05in the top of the hour,
03:06ladies and gentlemen,
03:07especially our Canadian viewers,
03:08we welcome you to Raw tonight.
03:09And we have one-on-ones
03:10at the Body Dunners
03:11against Ahmed Johnson.
03:12Later on, Shawn Michaels
03:13in a non-title WWE matchup
03:15against Hunter Hurst Helmsley.
03:17Vader against Duke,
03:18the dumpster gross
03:19of The Undertaker's here.
03:20But right now,
03:21the standing side headlock,
03:22Zip against Ahmed Johnson.
03:24And a top wrist lock here.
03:25You know who's gonna come out
03:26on top, King.
03:27Yeah, Ahmed may come out
03:28on top on this,
03:29but I guarantee you
03:30when Sonny gets out here
03:31after the way he dissed her,
03:32whoo, something's gonna happen.
03:33Sparks are gonna fly.
03:34Yeah, there's no doubt
03:35about that.
03:36I mean, Sonny giving me
03:37a break is so conceited.
03:38She just can't stand
03:39being put down by anybody.
03:40Ahmed Johnson
03:41with a hammer lock
03:42down on Zip
03:43and takes him out.
03:44Whoa!
03:45Zip drives Ahmed.
03:46Ahmed hooks the rope.
03:47Nicely done.
03:48Ahmed mows down Zip
03:50with a huge forearm.
03:53Here we go.
03:54Look at this.
03:55Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
03:56Here she comes.
03:57Ah, yes.
03:58Ah, she is giving Ahmed
03:59much more gear now.
04:00She is.
04:01She's in one of those
04:02Kathie Lee Gifford moods.
04:03Hell, I have no fury
04:04like a woman scoring,
04:05that's for sure.
04:06You can bet Sonny's not gonna
04:07be turning the other cheek,
04:08McMahon.
04:09Wow, right hand by-
04:10Hey, wait a minute.
04:11That's-
04:12Isn't that Skip?
04:13Isn't that Skip in there?
04:14Don't worry about it, McMahon.
04:16Is that Skip or is that Zip?
04:20I think that's Skip.
04:22We started out with Zip 101,
04:24but now,
04:25these body owners
04:26look so much alike.
04:27I think the referee
04:28must be confused.
04:29That's Skip in there,
04:30not Zip.
04:31Zip now from the other side
04:32and down across to Ahmed Johnson.
04:33What do you think of him now,
04:34huh?
04:35He only scored
04:36a big damn negative five.
04:37And, uh,
04:38look at this.
04:39You gotta hand it to Sonny.
04:40She's great.
04:41She's great.
04:42Yeah, if the producers
04:43of that movie,
04:44Bob Wire,
04:45had used Sonny
04:46instead of Pamela Anderson,
04:47they wouldn't have
04:49All right,
04:50we have Skip in there
04:51hammering away
04:52against Ahmed Johnson.
04:53Ahmed Johnson
04:54finding himself
04:55in somewhat of a
04:56handicap matchup here
04:57considering the lookalike
04:58qualities of the
04:59Body Donnas,
05:00who, by the way,
05:01will be defeating
05:02the Tag Team Championship
05:03this coming weekend
05:05against the Rockers
05:06on WWF Superstars.
05:09Ahmed Johnson
05:10trying to find a way
05:11of escape.
05:12Look out!
05:13Ahmed now!
05:14Whoa!
05:15Look at that!
05:17That's power!
05:19And...
05:20Get out of there, man!
05:21Down to the canvas!
05:22Ahmed Johnson,
05:23an extraordinary athlete
05:24when it comes to agility,
05:25when it comes to speed,
05:26he can really turn it on
05:27as well as power.
05:28Take you down
05:29to the double feature.
05:30I thought I was seeing double.
05:31And watch this.
05:32Down to the canvas.
05:33Yes!
05:34With authority.
05:35Right back to live action.
05:36Look out!
05:37Get out of there!
05:38Whoa!
05:39Ahmed Johnson went way up
05:40to drive the elbow
05:41into the sternum.
05:42And, unfortunately,
05:43Skip a little too quick
05:44moving out of the way.
05:45Here comes Skip now.
05:46Hell no!
05:47Nice maneuver!
05:48Back body drop!
05:50Come on, referee!
05:51Disqualify him!
05:52Ahmed Johnson now!
05:54Wait a minute.
05:56Is that...
05:57What?
05:58That's not...
05:59Is that Skip
06:00who went over the top rope?
06:01Come on, referee!
06:02Mind your own business!
06:03That's...
06:04That's...
06:05That's it!
06:06That's not Skip!
06:07Wait a minute!
06:08Here comes Skip here!
06:09No!
06:10A spine buster!
06:11The referee not falling
06:12for the switch.
06:13Oh, wait a minute!
06:14Here comes Skip now!
06:15Pearl River Punch
06:16coming out again!
06:17No way!
06:18No!
06:19One!
06:20Two!
06:21Yes!
06:22Ahmed Johnson victorious!
06:24No!
06:25No!
06:26Wait a minute!
06:27Hold the phone!
06:28He pinned the wrong guy,
06:29McMahon!
06:30He can't be the winner!
06:31What do you mean by that?
06:32He pinned Skip!
06:33Zip is the guy
06:34that started the match!
06:35Come on!
06:36Even birthday boy
06:37Stevie Wonder
06:38could see that!
06:39Well, Zip may have
06:40started the match,
06:41but Ahmed Johnson
06:42finished it!
06:43Yes, so!
06:44This officiating is...
06:45This officiating is horrible, McMahon!
06:47All right,
06:48let's take a look
06:49at the replay now.
06:50It began with that
06:51back body drop right there.
06:52The attempt at switch.
06:53The referee was fooled once.
06:54He was not fooled twice.
06:56Where's Harvey Wimpleman
06:57when you need him?
06:58Nonetheless,
06:59this one goes down
07:00in the record book
07:01as a victory
07:02for Ahmed Johnson.
07:03There you go!
07:04Off to the spine buster!
07:05The Pearl River Plunge,
07:06the same move
07:07that took Ahmed
07:08all the way to the championship
07:09of the first ever
07:10Kuwait International Tournament,
07:12ending just yesterday.
07:13Ahmed Johnson
07:14takes the Bodygarners
07:15to school.
07:18Warrior Man here,
07:19and you know,
07:20any academic institution
07:22can help you
07:23fulfill prerequisites,
07:24obtain a degree,
07:25but how many
07:26can prepare you
07:27to fulfill a dream?
07:28At Warrior University,
07:30you and me together
07:31can do just that.
07:32The testimonial on my life
07:34says that you,
07:35yes, you,
07:36have the same exact chance
07:37of achieving your dreams
07:38as I do.
07:39If you really believe it,
07:41if you have the
07:42deep-felt desire
07:43to discipline yourself
07:44to make the true sacrifices,
07:46the door to Warrior University
07:48could quite possibly lead
07:49into the dressing rooms
07:50of the WWF superstars.
07:52With my direction,
07:53the World Wrestling Federation
07:55seal of approval,
07:56and the curriculum
07:57at Warrior University,
07:58I believe you
07:59can turn your fantasies
08:00into an ultimate reality.
08:11It's time!
08:13It's time!
08:15It's Beta time!
08:17Time! Time! Time!
08:18Well, here comes a load.
08:20Many would state
08:21a real big load.
08:22Here comes a man
08:23named Paul Beta.
08:25And I'm gonna say it,
08:26a number of WWF superstars
08:28beginning to question
08:30the courage of this monster.
08:32Make no mistake about it,
08:33when he's on offense,
08:35nothing can stop him.
08:36Yokozuna can attest to that.
08:37But when he's on defense,
08:39I'm not gonna call him
08:40a coward by a long shot,
08:41but he just doesn't seem
08:42to have quite as much oomph,
08:44if you know what I mean.
08:45I've never seen him
08:46on defense, McMahon.
08:47And you know, I told you
08:48I had a little surprise for you.
08:49Yeah?
08:50You're gonna get to sit
08:51between the two greatest minds
08:52in all of wrestling.
08:54What?
08:55Myself and James E. Cornett.
08:56What a treat for you
08:57tonight, McMahon.
08:58Cornett is gonna come
08:59over here?
09:00I don't know.
09:01Yeah, you're gonna finally
09:02get to exercise your right
09:04to remain silent.
09:06All right, Beta
09:07against Duke of Dumpster,
09:08you can bet Yokozuna
09:09is looking on,
09:10ladies and gentlemen.
09:11Yokozuna back in top form,
09:13so we are told.
09:14And what a matchup
09:15that's gonna be
09:16in your house.
09:18Beware of Dogg
09:19in less than two weeks.
09:21Here he comes.
09:22Here he comes.
09:23Have a seat, Jim.
09:24And, well, here he is,
09:25ladies and gentlemen,
09:26joining us, Jim Cornett.
09:27Hello, Jim.
09:28How are you?
09:29Hello, Tim.
09:30How you doing?
09:31Hey, hey, hey.
09:32I'm not accustomed
09:33when you are to public speaking.
09:34What do you have to say
09:35for yourself about a matchup
09:36soon to take place
09:37with the man they call
09:38Yokozuna?
09:39This is gonna be great.
09:40This is gonna be great
09:41because on May 26th,
09:43Yokozuna and Vader,
09:44two big tanks,
09:45they're gonna meet
09:46right in the middle
09:47of the ring.
09:48Vader's a Sherman tank
09:49and Yokozuna's a septic tank.
09:51Sherman and septic.
09:55He's got a million of them,
09:56McMahon.
09:57Yeah, well, he just might,
09:58but right now,
09:59we've got action.
10:00Hard right hand by Vader.
10:01Vader now with a follow-up
10:02on the headbutt.
10:03Duke of Dumpster
10:04against Vader.
10:05Look at the size of Vader.
10:06Oh, yeah, this garbage man.
10:07They thought he was
10:08a garbage man.
10:09They found out
10:10he's just garbage.
10:11He's gonna last about
10:12as long against Vader
10:13as the Houston Rockets
10:14did in the NBA playoffs.
10:15Yeah, means to be seen.
10:16Shove to the corner.
10:17Look at Vader
10:18pulling those right-
10:19Oh, my.
10:20Vader just hammering away
10:21on the Dumpster
10:22and Duke the Dumpster
10:23throws you as stunned
10:24as anyone would be.
10:25Get out of that corner.
10:26Look at that.
10:27He's gonna close what's open
10:28and open what's closed
10:29on Duke the Dumpster.
10:30Hey, Jimmy,
10:31did you see that movie
10:32Twister over the weekend?
10:33Yeah, I guarantee you
10:34the Dumpster thinks
10:35he's in there
10:36with the world's biggest
10:37tornado right now,
10:38doesn't he?
10:39Well, indeed,
10:40we'll see what happens
10:41if, in fact,
10:42Duke the Dumpster
10:43can mount an offense
10:44against the man
10:45they call Vader.
10:46Then we'll see what
10:47Vader's made of and-
10:48Oh, wait a minute.
10:49Yeah.
10:50Up close in the midsection
10:51now, hard right hand.
10:52Look at this.
10:53Dumpster now
10:54hammering away
10:55on the man
10:56they call Vader.
10:57Hit him.
10:58From the other side
10:59and-
11:00What's going on, Jimmy?
11:01Come on, Vader.
11:02Come on, get up.
11:03Duke the Dumpster
11:04can't do it.
11:05Duke the Dumpster
11:06can't.
11:07Duke the Dumpster
11:08Drossi.
11:09Come on, Vader.
11:10Look out.
11:11Crossbody over the top rope.
11:12The Dumpster can dump
11:13Vader into the trash bin.
11:14We're back with more Raw.
11:15Vader against
11:16Duke the Dumpster
11:17Drossi.
11:18When we left you
11:19during the commercial break,
11:20the Dumpster had the advantage
11:21on the outside.
11:22He didn't stay that way,
11:23however.
11:24Unbelievable.
11:25It once wasn't enough.
11:26That's a beautiful
11:27sight, isn't it, Jimmy?
11:28Oh, that's a glorious sight.
11:29I can just imagine
11:30what Yokozuna's going to
11:31look like on May the 26th
11:32when he's laid out there
11:33if he runs into those steps.
11:34It'll squash him.
11:35Look at him.
11:36Speaking of squash.
11:37Devastating maneuver
11:38by the man
11:39they call Vader.
11:40He undoubtedly
11:41is a monster.
11:42Look at him.
11:43Oh, I am loving this.
11:44I'm loving this.
11:45Hey, Jerry,
11:46you ever feel like
11:47a piece of bread
11:48in an idiot sandwich
11:49over here?
11:50The man they call Vader,
11:51the Duke the Dumpster
11:52Drossi,
11:53back to the corner.
11:54Vader,
11:55hammering away now.
11:56Those fists are deadly,
11:57man.
11:58The Dumpster
11:59can't do it.
12:00The Dumpster
12:01can't do it.
12:02Those fists are deadly,
12:03McMahon.
12:04As a matter of fact,
12:05I've got them registered
12:06with the FBI.
12:07Look at that.
12:08I wouldn't doubt it.
12:09However,
12:10Duke the Dumpster Drossi
12:11is a competitor.
12:12My goodness.
12:13You were saying?
12:14I was saying
12:15that the Dumpster
12:16is a competitor
12:17and a great one.
12:18But I don't know
12:19if this one's
12:20done over yet.
12:21Vader's operating
12:22a carry-out service.
12:23Gorilla Monsoon
12:24took the ride.
12:25So did Yokozuna.
12:26How dare you
12:27mention Gorilla Monsoon?
12:28So did Yokozuna.
12:29So did Razor Ramon.
12:30Everybody,
12:31he's faced.
12:32He's carted him out.
12:33And this guy's
12:34gonna be no different.
12:35And Yokozuna
12:36is gonna have
12:37a special place reserved
12:38because he's gonna be
12:39the only guy
12:40that ever took two trips
12:41on that same ride.
12:42Look at this.
12:43What kind of a man is Vader?
12:44What kind of a man are you
12:45that would allow Vader
12:46to attack Yokozuna
12:47when he was disabled
12:48like that?
12:49When we had to take him
12:50out in a forklift,
12:51he was completely disabled
12:52and yet you continue.
12:53What kind of a man
12:54is Vader?
12:55That's the best kind
12:56of time to attack somebody
12:57and I never said
12:58Vader was a man.
12:59He's a man.
13:00He's a monster.
13:01He's a real-life monster.
13:02Right.
13:03No Frankenstein.
13:04No Dracula.
13:05No Wolfman.
13:06Certainly not
13:07the Invisible Man.
13:08He's a monster
13:09and every superstar
13:10in the WWF
13:11is gonna have to
13:12look into his eyes
13:13and feel the fear
13:14and the power
13:15of Vader.
13:16Vader's the real deal,
13:17McMahon.
13:18He's never been hurt.
13:19He's never even
13:20been challenged.
13:21You gotta admit it.
13:22This guy is just,
13:23like you said,
13:24he's a monster.
13:25And Yokozuna,
13:26we're talking about
13:27what kind of man is he.
13:28Remember,
13:29he turned on you
13:30and just,
13:31I mean,
13:32he was just pummeling you
13:33right in the corner?
13:34Yeah.
13:35He had no right to do that.
13:36What kind of a man
13:37would turn his back
13:38on the man
13:39that made him
13:40what he was?
13:41Yeah.
13:42Let him to the top.
13:43Get him out of the top,
13:44McMahon.
13:45Aw, come on.
13:46And in great.
13:47You used Yokozuna
13:48and you know you did.
13:49What?
13:50I didn't use anybody
13:51but he's gonna be
13:52all used up
13:53after Vader gets
13:54finished with him
13:55on May 26th.
13:56Right, King?
13:57That's right.
13:58Come here.
13:59Look at that, Jim.
14:00Dumpster.
14:01Oh, no.
14:02Can the dumpster
14:03turn this thing around?
14:04Hard right hand
14:05trips the jaw.
14:06Hey!
14:07He don't feel pain,
14:08no.
14:09I swear he doesn't.
14:10Yes, he does.
14:11I swear he does.
14:12Yes, he does.
14:13Coming up,
14:14they're up in a clothesline.
14:15Vader's still on his feet.
14:16The dumpster tries it again.
14:17Yes.
14:18He can't put him down.
14:19I swear.
14:20He can't put Vader down.
14:21I know it.
14:22He cheated to do it.
14:23He cheated.
14:24He slipped.
14:25He slipped, McMahon.
14:26I swear he slipped.
14:27He slipped from his sweat,
14:28from the fear that Duke
14:29the Dumpster feels.
14:30Into the canvas again.
14:31Who does Dumpster
14:32think he is, King?
14:33Oh!
14:34You're in there
14:35with Godzilla, boy.
14:36Don't you know that?
14:37The dumpster
14:38to the outside now.
14:39Here we go.
14:40His opportunity
14:41to defeat
14:42the undefeated Vader.
14:43Come on, Vader.
14:44Here we go.
14:45From the top rope,
14:46Duke the Dumpster
14:47going for it,
14:48beginning his sweat.
14:49Get him, Vader!
14:50Yes!
14:51Wow!
14:52Oh, glory, hallelujah.
14:53I knew he'd do it.
14:54I knew he'd do it.
14:55And it's only a matter
14:56of time now.
14:57Come on, Vader.
14:58Oh!
14:59The Dumpster
15:00did his King Kong
15:01impersonation
15:02falling from the embers,
15:03Jimmy.
15:04Duke the Dumpster
15:05in the danger zone.
15:06Here comes
15:07the Vader Bomb.
15:08Oh!
15:09Oh!
15:10What a chance.
15:11That's devastating,
15:12but no.
15:13Count the cover.
15:14Woo!
15:15Congratulations,
15:16Jim.
15:18Congratulations.
15:21I knew he could do it.
15:22Duke Asuna,
15:23he better watch out
15:24because May 26th,
15:25he's taking another ride
15:26to the hospital
15:27this time
15:28with both legs
15:29sniffed in half.
15:30Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
15:31Cornette pleased
15:32with the performance
15:33of Vader,
15:34victorious here
15:35this week on Raw.
15:36Let's go back
15:37and take another look
15:38now at the Vader Bomb.
15:39Wow.
15:40You have to wonder,
15:41will that happen
15:42to Yokozuna
15:43once again
15:44in approximately two weeks?
15:45There he is.
15:46What a monster.
15:47Speaking of victorious,
15:48will Shawn Michaels
15:49be victorious
15:50here tonight?
15:51A non-title matchup
15:52against Hunter
15:53Hurst Helmsley.
15:54And what about the Undertaker
15:55joining us momentarily?
15:56Well, that's gonna be great.
15:57Hey, speaking of Shawn Michaels,
15:58got a little surprise for him.
15:59Mr. Perfect's in the house.
16:01Oh, whatever that means.
16:03And next week,
16:04ladies and gentlemen,
16:05the Wild Man,

16:13Savio Vega.
16:14And next week,

16:23in the casket match.
16:24Yes, here he comes.
16:25The Undertaker,
16:26along with Paul Bearer,
16:27shoving that casket
16:28down the ringside
16:29preparing for the matchup
16:30against Goldust.
16:32Yeah, I feel like I'm watching
16:34Night of the Living Dead
16:35right now, McMahon.
16:36Let me tell you something.
16:37Goldust is in the house tonight.
16:38Yeah.
16:39And this is a great side chat
16:40you got planned
16:41with the Undertaker.
16:42May turn into
16:43the Rocky Horror Picture Show
16:44if Goldust has anything
16:45to say about it.
16:46What do you mean by that?
16:47Well, you ever seen
16:48Rocky Horror Picture Show?
16:49You know how people on the outside
16:51like to get involved?
16:52Get ready, McMahon.
16:55Welcome back.
16:56And no, it's not Fright Night.
16:58It's Monday Night Raw.
17:00And here's McMahon.
17:01Ladies and gentlemen,
17:02here he is.
17:03Along with Paul Bearer,
17:04the Phenom,
17:06The Undertaker.
17:09Yeah.
17:10They got that gold casket
17:11for Goldust.
17:12I guarantee you,
17:13Goldust is gonna come out here
17:14and have a thing to say himself.
17:15And a man,
17:16that I might add,
17:17is set to squirt out
17:19one-on-one
17:21in a casket match
17:24with Goldust.
17:30Don't worry, McMahon.
17:32I'm sure he'll be out here.
17:33Oh, yes, Mr. McMahon.
17:37In your house,
17:39my Undertaker
17:42and Goldust.
17:45Ooh, that voice.
17:47You know, Goldust,
17:49he loves to be in the spotlight,
17:52but he's getting ready
17:54to cross over
17:56into the dark side!
17:58Yeah!
18:00Reminds me of The Howling.
18:02As you can see,
18:04we have designed a special casket
18:07for his next movie
18:10in your house.
18:12Look at Paul Bearer's face.
18:13That's a real Amityville horror.
18:15Unquestionably,
18:16Goldust is
18:17the single most bizarre individual
18:20in the history of the WWF.
18:22How can you contend, well,
18:24contend with this bizarreness?
18:26Bizarre?
18:28You're asking us about bizarre.
18:32Well, that's the truth.
18:34Hey, wait a minute.
18:35Hold it.
18:36What I intend to do
18:37Here we go!
18:38is immortalize Goldust.
18:41Get ready.
18:42For once he's gone,
18:45he will be the biggest star.
18:49Yeah.
18:50Take a look.
18:53Marlena,
18:54along with Goldust.
18:58Yeah.
18:59Come on, Frankenstein.
19:00Let's hear what you got to say now.
19:04He's speechless.
19:09The primarity
19:10All right, this is what
19:11this interview is going to be over.
19:14Behold.
19:20The pale horse.
19:25And the man who sat upon him was
19:27Death.
19:29And I followed him.
19:32Tombstone.
19:331993.
19:35That's a great movie.
19:36I love this movie.
19:37So tall.
19:40So dark.
19:43So clammy and
19:47so stiff.
19:53That scent.
19:54That scent.
19:55Look.
19:56It's driving me crazy.
19:57What is that?
19:58What kind of clone is that?
19:59Is that embalming fluid number five?
20:01I don't know.
20:02I don't know.
20:03I don't know.
20:04I don't know.
20:05I don't know.
20:06Embalming fluid number five.
20:08This is great.
20:10You know something?
20:11That coffin right there.
20:13You can lay me in at any time
20:15because you know what?
20:18There will be no resting once we're in.
20:21No, there won't.
20:23I've never danced with the devil
20:24in the pale moonlight.
20:26But I'll try anything once.
20:32Here we go.
20:33Let me just feel you.
20:34Touch.
20:36Touch you, Reaper.
20:39Got big hands.
20:40Do you know what rigor mortis is?
20:44Look at me, Deadman.
20:45It's a stiffening of the muscle.
20:48No!
20:49Come on, wait a minute.
20:51Do something, McMahon.
20:52He's just trying to talk you.
20:53Oh, wait.
20:54Here comes Mankind.
20:55Now we're going to see some action.
20:56Get in there.
20:57Get in there, baby.
20:58Take care of him.
21:00Put him out of his miseries.
21:01Let's see The Undertaker rest in peace.
21:04Come on, Goldust.
21:05Now's your opportunity.
21:06Now's your chance.
21:08Come on, get him.
21:10Uh-oh.
21:11Wait a minute.
21:12Mankind.
21:13Wait a minute.
21:14Look at this.
21:15I can't believe what's happening here.
21:16Yeah, this is great.
21:17McMahon's got paralyzing moves.
21:18I told you.
21:19A hold.
21:20Look at this.
21:21This is the second time The Undertaker
21:22has felt that paralyzing hold from Mankind.
21:25And look at Goldust.
21:28Look what's happening to The Undertaker.
21:31Goldust is enjoying the show, McMahon.
21:33I couldn't believe it.
21:34Goldust, just last week, was deathly afraid of the casket provision.
21:39Something had to be up.
21:41Otherwise, he would not have confronted The Undertaker.
21:43And look at that deranged individual out there with Goldust.
21:46Look.
21:47Look at this.
21:48I think Goldust just blew in what used to be Mankind's ear.
21:53Regardless of that, The Undertaker is virtually incapacitated
21:57as a result of that mandible claw that was applied on The Undertaker.
22:01Oh, no.
22:02And that means humiliation.
22:05Goldust, here he goes.
22:07Make no mistake about him using his bizarreness
22:09to keep his opponents off guard.
22:11He'll do anything.
22:12He'll say anything.
22:14Yeah, you expect an Undertaker to sit up any second.
22:16Oh, come on.
22:17Look.
22:18Oh.
22:19I think Goldust is fixing to have his way with The Undertaker.
22:21And look at Marlena.
22:23She's directing every scene.
22:24She's loving this.
22:26Yeah, well, we're gonna wait and find out
22:27who has whose way in the casket match.
22:29The Undertaker paralyzed by that mandible claw.
22:34And Goldust, up to his typical tactics now.
22:39Trying to humiliate The Undertaker.
22:43Goldust.
22:45Laying next to The Undertaker.
22:46Look at this.
22:47It's quite a performance, McMahon.
22:49And Marlena, wait a minute.
22:51Undertaker.
22:53Get out of there.
22:55Oh, look at that rail.
22:57Oh, look at that railing.
22:59Goldust, bursting down the tower.
23:01Running into the casket.
23:02Wait a minute.
23:03That could be his destiny.
23:04He's not scared.
23:05This is the act.
23:06No, this is the act.
23:07He's a great actor.
23:08He's not scared.
23:09Yeah, no actor.
23:10He's afraid of The Undertaker.
23:11No, he's not.
23:12A casket match.
23:13Someone's gonna take a dirt nap.
23:15And yet to come here tonight, Shawn Michaels,
23:17the leader of the new WWF Generation in action.
23:19He was-
23:22Welcome back, everyone.
23:23Yet to come here tonight on Raw,
23:24we show you some exclusive footage
23:26from the country of Kuwait involving Shawn Michaels.
23:28Oh, yeah, McMahon.
23:29This was an international incident
23:31of a huge magnitude.
23:33I mean, much bigger than OJ going to England.
23:35I mean, the United Nations better investigate this.
23:37And, of course, Shawn Michaels will be in action
23:39here tonight, one-on-one,
23:41against Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
23:43However, right now,
23:45on his way to the Square and Circle,
23:47here he comes, Justin Hawk Bradshaw.
23:49In action.
23:51And talk about action.
23:52How about the action this past weekend
23:54here in the United States and upstate New York
23:56as well as up in Hamilton, Ontario?
23:58You were there, King.
24:00Yeah, and I was treated rudely by those fans.
24:02You certainly were.
24:03It was a riot.
24:05And, of course, if you're looking for live WWF action,
24:07it's one thing to see us on TV.
24:09It's another, of course, to be right there at ringside.
24:11You have to feel that electricity
24:13and see all the action.
24:15You won't believe the size of these
24:17unbelievable WWF superstars' action
24:19this Friday night in Baltimore.
24:20Live, notwithstanding Saturday afternoon
24:22in the city of brotherly love in Philadelphia.
24:24Here we go.
24:26Justin Hawk Bradshaw gets out of Montoya.
24:28By the way, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention
24:30Saturday night as well in Hershey, Pennsylvania
24:32at the Hershey Park Arena.
24:34There's a guy out here around ringside.
24:36You can perhaps hear some of his commentary.
24:38Yeah, let's invite him over.
24:40That's not a good idea.
24:42And this, by the way, this tour, ladies and gentlemen,
24:44winding up Sunday night in Madison Square Garden.
24:46Get set for live action.
24:48Look at this now.
24:50Caught in the clutches.
24:52Justin Hawk Bradshaw.
24:54And now Zeb Akai has joined us on headset.
24:56What are you complaining about now, Zeb?
24:58I think there are some members
25:00in the World Wrestling Federation community
25:03who are afraid to step in the same ring
25:05with Justin Hawk Bradshaw.
25:07Six foot seven, 309 pounds legitimate.
25:11Now, I'm not going to mention any names.
25:13Yeah, I will mention names.
25:15I think Shawn Michaels is afraid to step in a ring.
25:17What?
25:18Yes, Shawn Michaels.
25:20You know, I hear things in the dressing rooms.
25:22And I think maybe-
25:24I don't see-
25:26I don't see Yokozuna even trying to come.
25:28I don't see Vader.
25:30I don't see a lot of people-
25:32Hey, wait a minute.
25:34Shawn Michaels defending a title against all comers.
25:36And even notwithstanding that,
25:38a non-title match here tonight.
25:40One on one against Helmsley.
25:42Hey, Zeb, let me just tell you this.
25:44Shawn Michaels is not going to go after anybody
25:46unless they're wearing a skirt.
25:48That's a good observation, King.
25:50Now, let me tell you one thing.
25:52You see Aldo Montoya in the ring right now,
25:54Portuguese Man of War.
25:56First of all, he's on trial.
25:58He's on trial tonight.
26:00He's in Bradshaw Court.
26:02Because when you step in Bradshaw County,
26:04there is no law.
26:06Yeah, I would suspect Justin Hawk Bradshaw
26:08would be the law in Bradshaw County, right?
26:10He's laying down the law to Aldo Montoya right now.
26:12At the moment.
26:14But then again, anything can happen here
26:16in the World Wrestling Federation.
26:18The bell.
26:20Really?
26:22All right, Shawn Michaels yet to come in action.
26:24The World Wrestling Federation title holder
26:26in a non-title matchup against
26:28one Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
26:30That was pretty right there.
26:32It was.
26:34That is a great move by Justin Hawk Bradshaw.
26:36That's a beautiful thing.
26:38It is a beautiful thing.
26:40And I'm going to tell you,
26:42before it's over with, there's a lot of guys here.
26:44We never shook hands.
26:46It's good to have you out here.
26:48It's a little personal inside.
26:50What did you give your mom for Mother's Day yesterday?
26:52Well, my mom, unlike your mom, McMahon,
26:54who goes into mourning on Mother's Day.
26:56What?
26:58I called my mother and congratulated her on having me.
27:00And I also sent her an eight by ten glossy
27:02color photograph of myself.
27:04And also, I autographed it.
27:06Justin Hawk Bradshaw now driving the elbow.
27:08And there's no doubt.
27:10Go, Justin, go.
27:12Justin Hawk Bradshaw is a great competitor.
27:14There's no doubt about that.
27:16I'm not Gene Dixon.
27:18I don't forget that before years end,
27:20there's a lot of people that's going to feel
27:22the wrath of Justin Hawk Bradshaw
27:24because he's upset right now.
27:26Because a lot of people are dodging him,
27:28but we don't like people dodging him.
27:30Wait a minute.
27:32Come on, come on, Justin.
27:34Dropkick out of Montoya now.
27:36And another one.
27:38Justin Hawk Bradshaw trying to maintain his balance.
27:40He hadn't knocked him down yet,
27:42and I don't think he will knock him down.
27:44Going into the top high risk maneuver.
27:46Come on, Justin.
27:48You're way over.
27:50Come on, come on, Hawk.
27:52Justin Hawk Bradshaw being set up
27:54by Aldo Montoya now for the Rock.
27:56Come on, Hawk.
27:58Yes, yes, yes, Justin.
28:00Come on, take his hand off.
28:02Oh, my goodness.
28:04Woo, woo.
28:06Control yourself, control yourself.
28:08Look at this.
28:10Thank you very much for your time,
28:12but I'll be requested in the ring right now.
28:14Thank you very much.
28:16Did you see all that?
28:18Yes, I am really happy.
28:20Uh-oh.
28:22Uh-oh, Zabakaya with that branding iron
28:24coming into the ring at the behest
28:26of Justin Hawk Bradshaw.
28:28You know what that means.
28:30Oh, yeah.
28:32Aldo Montoya being defeated by Justin Hawk Bradshaw
28:34and being branded by Zabakaya.
28:37And Justin Hawk Bradshaw
28:39leading his brand all over
28:41any number of individuals
28:43here in the World Wrestling Federation.
28:45Yet to come here tonight, ladies and gentlemen,
28:46two cycles in action,
28:48one-on-one against Hunter Hearst Hemsley.
28:51However, right now,
28:53let's take you to this exclusive footage.
28:55It was approximately five years ago
28:57that the citizens of Kuwait temporarily
28:59lost their freedom and their homeland,
29:01and indeed, thousands of citizens
29:03lost their lives to Iraqi aggression.
29:06However, thanks to the United Nations forces
29:09and those of the U.S.
29:11led by General Norman Schwarzkopf,
29:13Operation Desert Storm was successful.
29:16Even today in Kuwait City,
29:18there are stark reminders
29:20of the price of freedom.
29:22And in a celebration of that freedom,
29:24WWF superstars were honored
29:26to have been invited by the royal family
29:28to perform in Kuwait City.
29:30Indeed, all of the Middle East
29:32opened their arms to the ambassadors
29:34of goodwill the world over,
29:36the WWF superstars.
29:38The American troops came here
29:40and they did what they could for these people.
29:42And when they got their freedom,
29:45it's amazing and it's very ironic
29:47that the first form of sports
29:51or entertainment that they wanted to see
29:53was the World Wrestling Federation.
29:56Unfortunately for Shawn Michaels,
29:58yet another form of aggression,
30:00if you would, was perpetrated
30:02on the shores of the Persian Gulf
30:04this past weekend.
30:06Look at this!
30:08All over the world,
30:10from country to country,
30:11and all over the world.
30:13Look at this!
30:15Look at this!
30:17Look at this!
30:19I said you, Shawn Michaels!
30:21This is a f****** program!
30:25You're a party hitter!
30:27You're going to take your last breath,
30:29not in the Persian Gulf.
30:32You're going to take your last breath
30:34in the United States of America
30:36in the Indian Ocean.
30:42We're back.
30:44Here comes Hunter Hearst.
30:46What is the matter with Davey Boy
30:48and the British Bulldog?
30:50What's the matter with him?
30:52Shawn Michaels made a pass at his wife.
30:54That's what's the matter with him.
30:56Davey Boy is not going to forget that.
30:58I don't care where he goes in the world.
31:00Shawn Michaels got a little taste of the Persian Gulf.
31:02He's going to get a taste to defeat it in your house.
31:04Bulldog is mad!
31:06And we're going to perhaps delve
31:08a little bit more into these accusations
31:09that continue to be hurled at Shawn Michaels.
31:11Nonetheless, this is going to be a great matchup.
31:13But tonight, Monday Night Raw
31:15is brought to you by
31:17Crispity, Crunchity,
31:19Peanut Buttery Butterfinger Candy Bar.
31:21Have a Butterfinger Blast.
31:23And by Burger King,
31:25where you can get your burgers worth.
31:27What about that anonymous footage
31:29that showed up here last week?
31:31Even that lady in silhouette making those accusations
31:33that Shawn Michaels broke up her marriage?
31:35It's all true, McMahon.
31:37See, Shawn Michaels is finding out
31:39that his affairs are a lot easier to get into
31:41than they are to get out of.
31:43That's the problem. He's in trouble.
31:45We would like to extend an invitation
31:47to that lady, whomever she may be,
31:49to join us next week here at the WWF Studios
31:51for a little further in-depth questioning.
31:53For what? So you guys can shine a big bright light
31:55right in her face?
31:57Expose her to the world, McMahon?
31:59The only way she should appear here on Raw
32:01is if you guys come up with a million bucks
32:03like they did for OJ over in England.
32:05All right, ladies and gentlemen,
32:07it's time to bring it out
32:09and probably negotiate that deal, McMahon.
32:11Can you come up with a-
32:13Here he comes!
32:15We've stated it before,
32:17the most charismatic,
32:19the most resilient WWF superstar
32:21in the world today, showing off, yes,
32:23the World Wrestling Federation champion,
32:25Shawn Michaels,
32:27accompanied by Jose Landerio.
32:29Whoa!
32:31What an ovation for Shawn Michaels!
32:33You think Shawn would even hit on that?
32:35I'm not gonna dignify those remarks,
32:37Shawn Michaels!
32:39The most charismatic crowd,
32:41just as he did over in the Middle East!
32:43Shawn Michaels,
32:45with successful tighter defenses
32:47in the car of Shawn Michaels.
32:49I just saw Jose Landerio
32:51winking an 80-year-old bro.
32:53Would you stop that?
32:55Shawn Michaels, yes!
32:57Next, next, Jose Landerio's gonna be,
32:59he'll probably be trying to hit on Helen Hart.
33:01I'll tell you.
33:03No, no, that won't happen.
33:05Stu told me personally that Helen is old faithful.
33:07She's so old, she has to be faithful.
33:09Shawn Michaels,
33:11with the World Wrestling Federation
33:13championship belt.
33:15A lifelong dream come true
33:17at WrestleMania for Shawn Michaels.
33:19Unquestionably,
33:21Michaels, the most athletic
33:23WWF champion,
33:25perhaps of all time.
33:27And unquestionably,
33:29Michaels laying that title on the line,
33:31challenger after challenger,
33:33just as he will against the British Bulldog.
33:35Look, McMahon,
33:37I've been joined by a real beauty here,
33:39I got some words of wisdom
33:41for Amy here in a minute.
33:43And there,
33:45Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
33:47McMahon is gonna face Michaels momentarily.
33:49I just want to tell you this right now.
33:51You may want to keep your eyes
33:53on Shawn Michaels, because I'm sure
33:55that he's gonna be looking over this way.
33:57He's gonna be winking at you,
33:59he's gonna be making eyes at you.
34:01Just don't let it affect you, okay?
34:03He's a skirt chaser, he's a womanizer,
34:05he's a sleazebag, if you know what I mean.
34:07Keep your eyes on Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
34:09And yes, Hunter Hearst Helmsley
34:11against Shawn Michaels,
34:13nicely executed by Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
34:15That was impressive, wasn't it, Amy?
34:17Very impressive, although not Amy.
34:19Hunter Hearst Helmsley,
34:21non-title, what an opportunity here
34:23to really make a name for himself
34:25at the expense of Shawn Michaels,
34:27which is what a lot of people
34:29have been doing here as of late,
34:31trying to ride on Shawn Michaels' coattails,
34:33trying to make a name for themselves
34:35with these outlandish,
34:37unfounded accusations.
34:39He's got his feet, and how about that?
34:41Hunter Hearst Helmsley right now
34:43has a little momentum,
34:45and I think it's beginning to frustrate Shawn Michaels.
34:47He's got his mind on Amy sitting here.
34:49Look at Shawn Michaels.
34:51No, I think he may have his mind on Mr. Perfect,
34:53who we are told is looking on.
34:55Who knows?
34:57I mean, come on, they're coming at Shawn Michaels
34:59from everywhere.
35:01What do you expect?
35:03Shawn Michaels defending the WWF title
35:05in a cage match this weekend,
35:07ladies and gentlemen.
35:09He's getting outwrestled
35:11by Hunter Hearst Helmsley,
35:13and Michaels is getting frustrated.
35:15You have to wonder,
35:17with all these accusations
35:19being hurled toward Shawn Michaels,
35:21is that getting into his head?
35:23Is that beginning to distract Shawn Michaels?
35:25Is he beginning to lose focus?
35:27Yeah, he's not only getting frustrated,
35:29he's getting outwrestled by Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
35:31That's only at the moment.
35:33Who knows what's going to happen?
35:35Uh-oh.
35:37Michaels getting ready to get down.
35:39Shawn Michaels missing as well.
35:41Michaels goes up.
35:43He goes all the way up.
35:45And Helmsley goes down right on his nose.
35:47Oh, come on.
35:49Shawn Michaels and Helmsley
35:51going at it here tonight on Raw.
35:53Over the hip.
35:55Nicely done.
35:57Shawn Michaels coming up with a minute.
35:59They both go over the top.
36:01Well, one of them does anyhow.
36:03And Michaels skins the cat and comes right back in.
36:05What a showboat.
36:07You got that right.
36:09It's a friendship.
36:11Nobody comes close to Shawn Michaels.
36:13Wait a minute.
36:15He's coming close.
36:17Don't come over here.
36:19And Shawn Michaels right over here
36:21with Jerry the King Lover.
36:23What are you doing?
36:25Look at this.
36:27What about this, McMahon?
36:29Does that prove my point?
36:31Shawn Michaels playing possum.
36:33Hunter Hearst Helmsley fell for the bait.
36:35And Hunter Hearst Helmsley,
36:37who earlier on had a lot of success,
36:39has no doubt about it.
36:41I can't believe that, McMahon.
36:43What a blatant,
36:45what a blatant show of womanizing.
36:47Please, show me.
36:49Wait a minute.
36:51Look at this.
36:53Helmsley.
36:55Oh, my goodness.
36:57In more trouble.
36:59Michaels now brings him over the top.
37:01Referee asking for a clean break.
37:03Come on, Michaels.
37:05Let him go.
37:06Helmsley.
37:08He may have broken his nose.
37:10Shawn Michaels coming over.
37:12Don't tell me the match is going to be stopped.
37:14Michaels takes a look.
37:16It's all right.
37:18Come on, ref, disqualify him.
37:20Shawn Michaels now taking Hunter Hearst Helmsley right over.
37:22One, two.
37:24Almost a count of three.
37:26Michaels set to defend the title,
37:28assuming he has it,
37:30in your house on May the 26th
37:32against the British Bulldog.
37:34Notwithstanding that,
37:36and by the way, of course,
37:38everybody knows the Wild Man is going to join us here
37:40next week in action against Stone Cold Steve Austin.
37:42Oh, my goodness.
37:44The nose again.
37:46Hunter Hearst Helmsley is going to look like Pinocchio
37:48after this.
37:50Don't let him go.
37:52And right back into the same hold.
37:54And Shawn Michaels having some fun in there
37:56as he always does.
37:58He'll take chances like no other
38:00WWF superstar in the world.
38:02Yeah, you're not kidding.
38:04He'll ask anybody's wife out on a date.
38:06And yesterday, Shawn Michaels
38:08gave no credence whatsoever
38:10to any of these outlandish accusations.
38:12Michaels now from the other side
38:14and nice leap frog by Hunter Hearst.
38:16Oh, no.
38:18McMahon, what Shawn Michaels is finding out is
38:20these women that kiss and tell
38:22always tell the wrong people.
38:24And Helmsley to the back of your cup.
38:26No, no.
38:28Michaels missing.
38:30Shawn Michaels perfumed on the goodness
38:32to the outside.
38:34Fourth down, time to punt.
38:36He was at large before.
38:38He sort of has that WC feels luck.
38:40Nonetheless, ladies and gentlemen,
38:42Shawn Michaels must get back up.
38:44He's going to be counted out.
38:46Hey, don't you help me.
38:48Jose Lothario out there encouraging Shawn Michaels
38:50just as he did at WrestleMania.
38:52Look out.
38:54Oh, no.
38:56Hunter Hearst Helmsley turning the tide here
38:58on Shawn Michaels now.
39:00He's going to rearrange Michael's face.
39:02He won't be so attractive to all these women.
39:04Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
39:06We were told he was watching a matchup.
39:08We don't know why.
39:10We don't know whether he's watching Michaels
39:12or watching Helmsley.
39:14Here comes Helmsley.
39:16And Shawn Michaels rips his face right into the apron.
39:18Not his nose again.
39:20What is Mr. Perfect doing out here?
39:22You have to wonder.
39:24Oh, wait a minute.
39:26Down in the rally.
39:28Is Mr. Perfect going to get involved in this matchup?
39:30Here's your chance.
39:31Two in.
39:33That was close.
39:35I still can't believe Mr. Perfect didn't do something
39:37when he had the chance a few minutes ago.
39:39Mr. Perfect getting a little closer to the ringside area.
39:41Now it's Shawn Michaels face first to the buckle.
39:43Yeah.
39:45Hunter Hearst Helmsley now with a boot to the midsection.
39:47Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Michaels going at it hard right on.
39:49And another boot to the midsection.
39:51Helmsley the aggressor.
39:53Yeah.
39:55Come on, ref.
39:57Get him out of the corner.
39:59Look at Helmsley go.
40:01The first flying McMahon.
40:03I love it.
40:05Work on that face, Hunter.
40:07And Shawn Michaels really suffering the consequences here.
40:09Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
40:11If he can defeat Shawn Michaels in a non-title matchup.
40:13Oh, what a high knee.
40:15And he just might after that.
40:17One, two.
40:19Got him.
40:21So close.
40:23Come on, that was a three count.
40:25Shawn Michaels returning from his trip to the Middle East.
40:27And again, Mr. Perfect taking a couple of steps closer
40:29to the action.
40:31He's got hitting on the outside.
40:33Who knows he is.
40:35Anything can happen here, McMahon.
40:37You've got that right.
40:39Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
40:41What momentum he would have if he could defeat Shawn Michaels.
40:43Right here tonight on Raw.
40:45Michaels trying to find a measure of escape.
40:47There's just no keeping this man down.
40:49No matter what you do to him.
40:51Michaels with an elbow.
40:53And another one.
40:55Shawn Michaels escaping with an elbow.
40:57Off the rope and oh my goodness.
40:59Right in the midsection.
41:01Hunter Hearst Helmsley with great timing.
41:03Oh, what an uppercut.
41:05Yeah, you give him credit, McMahon.
41:07I know he's great.
41:09Here we go.
41:11Boot to the ribs.
41:13Hunter Hearst Helmsley taking advantage of every single opportunity.
41:15Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
41:17And Shawn Michaels here tonight on Raw.
41:19This is what we've been waiting for.
41:21Shawn Michaels now in trouble.
41:23Hunter Hearst Helmsley sets him up.
41:25Wide open.
41:27Look at this hand.
41:29A big forearm.
41:31That's the way you're at it, Hunter.
41:33Looking on Mr. Perkins.
41:35By the way, we are told that the British Bulldog
41:37just might be looking on as well.
41:39The Bulldog back in the locker room area.
41:41That's what we're told.
41:43Shawn Michaels with a lot on his mind.
41:45Whoa.
41:47Knocked him clear across the ring.
41:49Michaels with a right hand.
41:51Look at this underneath it and.
41:53Oh, beautiful maneuver.
41:55You thought he had him.
41:57Oh my goodness.
41:59What an uppercut.
42:01Hunter Hearst Helmsley against Shawn Michaels.
42:03No, wait a minute.
42:05Yes.
42:07An escape by Helmsley.
42:09A combined by Helmsley.
42:11The British Bulldog, by the way, ladies and gentlemen,
42:13joining us in action here next week.
42:15One on one with Jake the Snake Roberts.
42:17And if it's all right with you,
42:19I'm going to invite Shawn Michaels to join us
42:21for commentary.
42:23What?
42:24No way.
42:26We don't need him over here.
42:28We had Cornette earlier on.
42:29Next week.
42:31Because, McMahon, do you realize what could happen?
42:33I mean, Shawn Michaels sitting here at ringside.
42:35British Bulldog in the ring.
42:37Diana, of course, will be at ringside too.
42:39Oh, that could be too explosive.
42:41And oh, with a forearm.
42:43Hunter Hearst Helmsley hammering away on Shawn Michaels.
42:45And Michaels appears to be wilting.
42:47Look at this.
42:49Helmsley won't let up.
42:51Come on now, disqualify Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
42:53Look at Helmsley just hammering Shawn Michaels into oblivion.
42:55You know what I'm thinking, McMahon?
42:57What?
42:59She's going to come crawling back on her hands.
43:01Don't worry, Amy.
43:03He won't take her back.
43:05But I can assure you somewhere right now,
43:07Sable is thinking, how did I let him slip through my hands?
43:09Hunter Hearst Helmsley with the momentum now.
43:11And this just may be too much for Shawn Michaels.
43:13Everybody gunning for Shawn Michaels.
43:15Michaels now for the ride to the buckle.
43:17Oh, my goodness.
43:19Oh, to the midsection now.
43:21Watch out.
43:23Hunter Hearst Helmsley coming off the rope.
43:25Oh, neck breaker.
43:26Cover.
43:28No.
43:30No, he did not get him.
43:32He did not get him.
43:34Get in there, perfect.
43:36Welcome back, everyone, to more WWF Raw.
43:38Hunter Hearst Helmsley maintains his control over Shawn Michaels.
43:43And Michaels has been really put to the test here
43:46against Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
43:48I think he's been put to sleep.
43:50One, two, in.
43:52No.
43:54Shawn Michaels raising up left shoulder.
43:56He's been taking on all comers, ladies and gentlemen.
43:58And he continues to do just that.
44:00Two in.
44:02Get him.
44:04I know.
44:06Michaels is watching the ref.
44:08Come on.
44:10Michaels knows what he's doing.
44:12Shawn Michaels now.
44:14Trying to make his move on Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
44:16Michaels, who has been pummeled in this matchup.
44:18Look at Shawn Michaels on his feet.
44:20Michaels with an elbow.
44:22And another one.
44:24And Michaels with a hard grab.
44:26Right back around.
44:28That's where Michaels got in trouble last time.
44:30Oh, my goodness.
44:32Succession.
44:34No, Michaels down.
44:36Get in there, ref.
44:38Michaels sent up Helmsley.
44:40Yeah.
44:42And a boot to the midsection.
44:44Look at that.
44:46Oh, yes.
44:48What an escape.
44:50Helmsley to the buckle.
44:52Oh, my goodness.
44:54Off the rope.
44:57Shawn Michaels back up on his feet.
44:59No.
45:01What does it take to keep this man down?
45:03Mr. Perfect.
45:05Getting closer and closer to the ring.
45:07No.
45:09Right in the face again.
45:11Shawn Michaels with Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
45:13Scoops him up and slams him down on the canvas.
45:15Shawn Michaels to the outside.
45:17Yes.
45:19He's going for it.
45:21Shawn Michaels.
45:23Come on, Hunter.
45:24Going to the top rope.
45:26And Michaels down.
45:28High risk maneuver.
45:30No.
45:32Is that enough to put Hunter Hearst Helmsley away?
45:34A cover here.
45:36One, two, and no.
45:38That's not enough.
45:40You've got to give Hunter Hearst Helmsley a world of credit.
45:42Michaels has thrown everything but the kitchen sink at him.
45:44And he still survives.
45:46Shawn Michaels and Hunter Hearst Helmsley giving it a go here
45:48tonight on Raw.
45:50Helmsley coming off it.
45:52No, no.
45:54One, two.
45:56Yes, he got him.
45:58That was so close.
46:00Unbelievable.
46:02You didn't know who had whom there.
46:04Let's go back and take another look at this double feature now.
46:06Look at this, King.
46:08He went for the piledriver.
46:10No, he went for the Pearl River Plunge.
46:12No, Frankensteiner went in from there.
46:14A rollover.
46:16Right back in control now.
46:18Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
46:20This match developing into a slugfest.
46:22Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Shawn Michaels.
46:24Oh, my goodness.
46:26Look out.
46:28No, no, no.
46:30One time, baby.
46:32One time.
46:34Shawn Michaels.
46:36Uh-oh.
46:38Michaels with the momentum.
46:40Uh-oh.
46:42Michaels is calling for it.
46:44Hunter.
46:46Sweet chin music.
46:48Hunter, you've got to get out of there.
46:50Mr. Perfect, do something.
46:52Can Shawn Michaels connect on the chin of Hunter Hearst Helmsley?
46:54One, two.
46:56No.
46:58Yes.
47:00Against all odds, once again, Shawn Michaels, ladies and gentlemen.
47:02Victorious.
47:04And Mr. Perfect had to be impressed.
47:06I don't think so.
47:08Ladies and gentlemen, next week, Wildman Mark Merrow, one-on-one against Stone Cold Steve Austin.
47:14Next week here on Raw, we're going to see the one, two, three kid against Sammy Ovega.
47:18And of course, Jake the Snake Roberts against the British Bulldog, I am certain,
47:22Shawn Michaels will join us for commentary at ringside.
47:26Watch Helmsley's head snap back in that replay.
47:28That was devastating.
47:30Why do you have to keep showing that?
47:32Shawn Michaels, victorious in that quest when the British Bulldog was looking on.
47:37Jim Ross with the British Bulldog.
47:39I would suggest the Bulldog have to be impressed with Shawn Michaels' performance tonight.
47:44I certainly would think so, Vince.
47:46Notwithstanding your matchup in less than two weeks against Shawn Michaels,
47:49the WWF pilot in your house, right here next week.
47:53You have Jake the Snake Roberts one-on-one.
47:55However, Shawn Michaels will be sitting at ringside providing color commentary.
47:59I've got to thank The Roof.
48:01They come off this place right here next week.
48:03The Roof is going to come off, Jim Carnage, Shawn Michaels,
48:06you have a lot of nerve coming out here during my match
48:09with Jake the Snake Roberts doing the color commentary.
48:12But think of it, man.
48:14He may not come to your house.
48:16He may come next week when I face Jake Roberts
48:19If I see you anywhere near ringside, Shawn Michaels,
48:22you're mine before in your arms.
48:25What about being afraid of snakes?
48:27I mean, it seems to me the British Bulldog would be deathly afraid of snakes.
48:31What about it, Bulldog?
48:33Don't start that, McMahon.
48:35I'm not afraid of snakes.
48:37And that includes you, Jake Roberts.
48:39You can bring that 24-foot python.
48:41But next week, Shawn Michaels, you better be afraid of the British Bulldog.
48:43Wait a minute.
48:45Because I'm coming for you.
48:47You got to be destructive.
48:49For you and Diana.
48:51He's going to be close to Diana.
48:53That's right.
48:55He's not going to get anywhere near my wife.
48:57Shawn Michaels, I'm going to take your head,
48:59clean off that little body of yours.
49:02Till next week.
49:04So long, everybody.
