00:00Welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw, Vince McMahon and
00:05Jerry The King Lawler here, yes, and here he comes.
00:09The greatest sports entertainer in the world today, yes.
00:13The World Wrestling Federation Champion, Shawn Michaels.
00:17There you go, King.
00:22Who knows, you may even wind up on the click cam, look at it.
00:25Well, if you want some priceless footage, you better get that click cam over here and
00:28take a shot of me instead of those idiots, look at that.
00:31Shawn Michaels and right beside Shawn Michaels is mentor, O'Shea Lantario.
00:38Michaels tonight on Raw, one on one with his former tag team partner,
00:43one on one with Marty Jannetty.
00:45That's right, McMahon, and nobody in the World Wrestling Federation knows
00:48Shawn Michaels any better than Marty Jannetty.
00:51They were former partners and
00:52Marty Jannetty actually defeated Shawn Michaels once for the Intercontinental title.
00:56That's true.
00:57That's true, and tonight, Jannetty's got this little extra edge in his corner.
01:02It's his new partner, Lief Kassidy, and not to mention that he's also got
01:07James E. Cornette.
01:09What is Jim Cornette doing out at ringside?
01:12What is Cornette doing with Lief Kassidy right there?
01:16There's trouble in River City here tonight on Raw.
01:18There is trouble for Shawn Michaels.
01:21Marty Jannetty told me he's trained all the titles he's ever won just for
01:25the chance to embarrass the champion here tonight on Raw.
01:28Shawn Michaels ready to mix it up.
01:30Let's listen to this, O'Beisha.
01:32No.
01:34No.
01:35No.
01:37No.
01:39No.
01:39No.
01:40No.
01:41No.
01:42No.
01:43No.
01:44No.
01:45No.
01:46No.
01:47No.
01:48No.
01:49No.
01:50No.
01:51No.
01:52Shawn Michaels personifying sports entertainment, no doubt about it.
01:54There it is, and that's what it's all about.
01:56The World Wrestling Federation Championship.
02:00A young man's dreams come true at WrestleMania, and
02:03Michaels here in a non-title matchup tonight on Raw against, well,
02:07not any one of those two, but it may be against those two,
02:09considering what's likely to happen on the outside with Lief Kassidy and
02:13with Jim Cornette, and
02:14Cornette certainly has no business at all being on the outside.
02:19Come on, what do you mean by that?
02:20Look at this, a lot of history between these two guys.
02:23Look at the stare down, man.
02:24This has gotta be like sort of like fighting against your own brother.
02:27Indeed, each individual certainly knows the style and
02:30knows everything personally as well as professionally about the other.
02:34This is likely to be an extraordinary matchup and
02:36one of the perhaps greatest test yet for
02:39Shawn Michaels even though the title is not up for grabs.
02:45Big mouth Cornette on the outside, distracting Shawn Michaels.
02:47Yes, you heard him, you can hear him from here.
02:49Cornette is only there to offset the threat of Jose Lothario.
02:53No, no, no, Cornette's out there for another reason, know that about that.
02:55Here we go, locking up now, and Michaels back to the corner.
02:59What's gonna happen here?
02:59Both individuals likely to be a little bit cautious here to kick things off, but
03:02you never can tell.
03:03Marty Jannetty threatening to bash Shawn Michaels, and
03:06Michaels is ready for it.
03:07You're welcome, ladies and gentlemen, all of our Canadian viewers just joining us
03:11for our live feed up to the new VR.
03:13And today, of course, in Canada is Canada Day,
03:15the birth of a nation, 129 years old, congratulations.
03:20I can just see Stu and Helen Hart sitting up there in Canada.
03:23You know, let's say 129,
03:25Helen's only two years older than the entire nation of Canada.
03:28All right, come on, knock it off tonight, ladies and gentlemen, on Raw.
03:31The bizarre one, Goldust goes one on one with Wildman Mark Merrill.
03:34You can bet the fur's gonna fly in that one.
03:37Well, there has been a little incident involving Marlena and Sable,
03:40you know what I mean?
03:40Yes, we'll get into it a little bit later on.
03:42Right now, Shawn Michaels set up for the ride from the far side.
03:45Here we go from behind, nice maneuvering on the part of Michaels.
03:47Jannetty, hook to the top, all right.
03:49Back up under feet, leap frog by Michaels.
03:51Marty Jannetty coming right at him in a nice hip toss.
03:54Kick out by Jannetty, both men, look at that, snap right up.
03:58And Jannetty and Michaels with similar athletic gifts,
04:02although Shawn Michaels has done considerably more with his,
04:05in terms of the psychological, well, let's just call it brain power, if you will.
04:09Well, wait a minute, what are you calling Marty Jannetty stupid or something?
04:11No, definitely not, no, definitely not.
04:13Marty Jannetty, one of the new rockers, if you will, Jannetty joining Lief Kassidy.
04:17And of course, it was Shawn Michaels who at one time teamed up with Marty Jannetty
04:21as the rockers.
04:21Come on, Marty.
04:22Standing side headlock now by Marty Jannetty.
04:25And a nice takedown by Jannetty.
04:26I'll tell you this, McMahon, we've got almost a count of three.
04:29Almost, Eddie, I'll tell you this,
04:30Marty Jannetty is smart enough to have hired Jim Cornette to be at ringside.
04:33Well, was it Jannetty that hired Cornette?
04:35Was it Lief Kassidy who hired Cornette?
04:38Well, I don't think they can actually remember.
04:40It's sort of like Clinton, you know?
04:42They can't remember who hired that Livingston guy, Greg Livingston.
04:45I see, look at that maneuver by Shawn Michaels, and trying to get the backslide.
04:48Here we go, now Jannetty over on his feet in a clothesline attempt.
04:52I can't remember who hired Clinton.
04:54Clinton can't remember who hired him either.
04:56Cornette on the outside, you can bet.
04:59Cornette, with that twisted mind of his, has some plans in store for Shawn Michaels.
05:03What's going to evolve here tonight on Raw?
05:05There's no telling what's gonna happen.
05:06By the way, one thing we will show you,
05:08speaking of things that can always happen here in the World Wrestling Federation,
05:11what about it this weekend?
05:13Sonny got her comeuppance, so to speak.
05:15Come on, that's not, you thought that was funny too, didn't you?
05:18I think that was one of the greatest pieces of television ever, and
05:21we're gonna be showing you that, ladies and gentlemen.
05:23Sonny got what was coming to her.
05:24Coming off the rope, nice arm drag kick out by Jannetty, and another one.
05:28Michaels, uh-oh, Michaels really falling into Jannetty's pace.
05:31Look at that, and down in a candle.
05:33Yeah, this may be some of the greatest television ever right now,
05:35seeing Jannetty hammer Shawn Michaels.
05:37You know, Jannetty may not need Lief Kassidy, he may not need Jim Cornette.
05:41He may not need Owen Hart or the Bulldog or Vader.
05:44Wait a minute, what are you saying?
05:46What are you saying?
05:48I just heard that they may be- Yeah, exactly, wherever you see Cornette,
05:50you are likely to see that trio, that gang, if you want, of Owen Hart,
05:54the Bulldog, and Vader.
05:56Those three individuals, of course, ladies and gentlemen,
05:58involved in an international incident coming your way from Vancouver.
06:02But right now, to the back row, Michaels goes upstairs.
06:04Jannetty crosses up, Michaels double momentum.
06:06Here we go.
06:07From one side of the rope to the other end.
06:09Jannetty, whip to the ropes, hips off.
06:11Hips off, nice and good by Michaels.
06:13Michaels, arm drag takedown.
06:15And an arm-a-long.
06:16Come on, Morty.
06:16Yeah, and a dropkick to the outside.
06:20Taking a bit of a rest, but now the momentum has shifted back.
06:23And Michaels is in control.
06:25Look at the smiles on those idiots' faces.
06:29Shawn Michaels on his way to Vancouver, British Columbia.
06:33Yes, an international incident, ladies and gentlemen, as Shawn Michaels teams up
06:36with Ahmed Johnson and the Ultimate Warrior.
06:41And a six-man matchup against Jim Cornette's trio.
06:45And I would not be at all surprised if that trio did not show its face here
06:49tonight on Raw.
06:50What do you expect, McMahon?
06:51You know, Bulldog is gonna hound Shawn Michaels, no pun intended,
06:55after being robbed at King of the Ring.
06:57What do you expect from the Bulldog?
06:58It was a grueling matchup, no question about that, from both individuals.
07:02All right, locking back up now.
07:03You have to wonder whether or not Shawn Michaels has recovered from that matchup
07:06with the Bulldog.
07:07Michaels here tonight against Marty Jannetty.
07:09Right hand, what a drop.
07:10I saw that coming, that was great.
07:12Marty Jannetty and Shawn Michaels, and you will recall earlier in the matchup,
07:16Jannetty using that closed fist, and
07:18Michaels was knocked out of the canvas through the buckle of the Marty.
07:23Marty Jannetty, an extraordinary contender.
07:25When he is on, he is capable of defeating anybody here in the World Wrestling
07:29Federation, and he just found out Shawn Michaels never, look out, no.
07:33Drops the knee on the spine area.
07:34Disqualification off the rope, and Michaels with a clothesline.
07:39Shawn Michaels once again turning the tide.
07:41Just like he can do in the blink of an eye.
07:44Shawn Michaels, the World Wrestling Federation, elbow to the head area.
07:48And Michaels now, trying to figure out what's he doing here.
07:51Going upstairs, Michaels goes in early.
07:54Marty Jannetty down the canvas, and Michaels does not go for the cover.
07:57And Shawn Michaels trying to figure out what to do with Marty Jannetty.
08:00Leif Cassidy looking on.
08:02You expect- Look out, look out.
08:03Leif Cassidy can't manage it, Dana, but- Get out of there, Marty.
08:05No.
08:06From the outside, Marty Jannetty.
08:07Leif pulled him right out.
08:08That was a smart move.
08:09Look out, here comes Shawn Michaels.
08:12Right into Leif, right into Ross.
08:13Uh-oh, Michaels is out here with Leif Cassidy.
08:17Look out for the- Yes.
08:19Jannetty attacking Shawn Michaels from behind.
08:22And now, Cornette overwhipped the official.
08:25And out in front of us, Leif Cassidy, right there, hold on, come on.
08:30So much for the brain power of Shawn Michaels, McMahon.
08:33Now, wait a minute, that's three on one, for crying out loud.
08:36And Jose Lothario, Super Sock, coming over to protect Shawn Michaels.
08:40And I don't think Leif Cassidy wants to mix it up with the legendary Jose Lothario.
08:45What?
08:46He's in second.
08:48Cassidy feels Shawn Michaels back into the square and circle.
08:50And now, Marty Jannetty obviously has the advantage.
08:53Come on.
08:53Come on.
08:55Marty Jannetty pulling out the stops tonight.
08:57Because, yes, Marty Jannetty defeating Shawn Michaels would catapult Jannetty.
09:01What if he doesn't wanna continue to do it?
09:04That's right, can't quite get the three down.
09:05But more importantly, Jannetty's getting to take out years of frustration for
09:09being held back.
09:10Held back.
09:11That's right, held back by Shawn Michaels.
09:13Jannetty was the workhorse of the team.
09:15Backstreet Rax, and now- Yes, right at the jaw.
09:17But Shawn Michaels was always out there to grab the spotlight.
09:20Couldn't know the glory.
09:21Let's face it, Jannetty is simply jealous of the success of Shawn Michaels.
09:26Plain and simple, that's what this is all about.
09:27Jannetty taught Shawn Michaels everything he knows.
09:30And then, like I said, Shawn Michaels goes out and gets all the credit.
09:32All right, off the rope, and- Yeah, no.
09:35A back body drop.
09:36Yes, Marty Jannetty, at the moment, in control.
09:39But I think the celebration a little bit premature.
09:42Although, what does Jannetty know that we don't?
09:44He probably knows he can finish him off- Two and-
09:47Almost a count of three, no?
09:48Michaels able to check out.
09:50Shawn Michaels, the most resilient WWF superstar in history.
09:54Michaels, with those right hands just a moment ago.
09:58Look at that, Jannetty right back on Shawn Michaels.
10:01Yes, Michaels, taking a tremendous dubbing at the hands of the British Bulldog.
10:05At the King of the Ring, and by the way, speaking of the King of the Ring.
10:08The man who defeated The Undertaker.
10:10Mankind here in action tonight, against Duke the Dumpster Trotsky.
10:13Wait a minute, Michaels sent him through right across the top rope.
10:17And Michaels is in trouble, make no mistake about it.
10:21Shawn Michaels, thus far, has not been able to figure out a highly aggressive
10:26Marty Jannetty.
10:27And just one minute, come here.
10:29One, two, and almost a count of three.
10:32Michaels is in trouble.
10:33Here goes Cornette, this is his opportunity.
10:35Welcome back, everyone, to WWF Raw.
10:37Snapmare by Marty Jannetty, all the way through the break.
10:39Marty Jannetty has really been taking it to Shawn Michaels.
10:41Wait a minute, another cover.
10:42And another kick out by Michaels.
10:45Shawn Michaels, the standard bearer of the new WWF generation.
10:50And I can tell you, Michaels has been in trouble, and continues to be.
10:53All Marty Jannetty has to do is keep him getting frustrated now.
10:56Because Marty knows he's the better man.
10:58He's proven it to you, don't you have to admit it, McMahon?
11:01Thus far, Jannetty has had the advantage, let's just put it that way.
11:04Yeah, that's right.
11:05Jannetty with moral support, maybe even more than moral support from the outside.
11:10I believe Cassidy and Jeff Cornette, but Shawn Michaels has his click here.
11:14Restless capacity crowd has come here tonight to see the WWF champion perform
11:18off the rope, and yeah, right in Marty's face.
11:21One, two.
11:23Michaels now, back up.
11:24Not for long, what a clothesline.
11:26Michaels almost decapitated.
11:28Once again, the click rears its ugly head.
11:30Here's the cover, this time.
11:32No, still a count of two.
11:33But Marty Jannetty takes him right out of it.
11:35I'm sick of the click, McMahon.
11:37Well, no, not the click was out in force this past weekend.
11:39We're gonna show you footage from some of those events, ladies and gentlemen.
11:42Notwithstanding the live WWF action, you wanna be there live and
11:46in person this Friday night at the Continental Airlines Arena of the Middlelands.
11:51Notwithstanding live action in New Haven at the Coliseum on Saturday, and
11:54this Sunday night in Providence, Rhode Island.
11:57Set the click up, Lee.
11:59Reacting to the pleas of his manager on the outside, Jose Lathario.
12:04Michaels with an elbow, back up on his feet, off the rope now, and Michaels.
12:07No, look at that cover, wow, this is it.
12:10And a kick out by Marty Jannetty.
12:12And Marty Jannetty set up for the ride.
12:13Here comes Michaels.
12:14No, get out of there, boom.
12:18And Michaels, wait a minute, a cover.
12:20Raw title match, and he got it.
12:22No, he didn't, that was close, that was close.
12:24Did you see the look on the face of Jose Lathario?
12:27Jose Lathario, Shawn Michaels' mentor,
12:30indeed much like a father-son relationship.
12:33Grandfather and son.
12:34Shawn Michaels, when you speak with Michaels about Jose Lathario,
12:37you see the respect in that young man's face for
12:39Jose Lathario, who taught Shawn Michaels everything he knows to the buckle.
12:44Here comes Jannetty, and no.
12:45Jannetty hesitated just a moment, and Michaels took full advantage of that.
12:49All right, come on about some of that sweet jam music.
12:53Michaels on the far side of the ring.
12:55And Michaels looks like he, no, could he hurt his knee?
12:58Michaels coming right back over.
12:59Shawn Michaels, monkey flip, Jannetty, but look at that.
13:02What an athlete.
13:03Beautiful move.
13:03Look at how that goes live.
13:05Marty Jannetty, not surprisingly, showing his athleticism and
13:09leave Cassidy as puck.
13:11Yeah, and look at the click, they're stunned.
13:14Well, they shouldn't be.
13:15Marty Jannetty, a tremendous athlete.
13:16We knew full well this would be a tough contest for Shawn Michaels.
13:20And again, it may be proving his demise.
13:22Shouts of encouragement from Jose Lathario.
13:24And wait a minute, Jannetty now.
13:26Next to the ropes, Jannetty, no.
13:29Michaels raises that boot on the butt of the jaw just in the nick of time.
13:33Both men hurting, however, earlier on.
13:35Just a few moments ago, Michaels thought he had things in control.
13:38But look at that unbelievable athleticism on the part of Marty Jannetty.
13:41Pow, and a clothesline.
13:44Come on, Marty.
13:44Jannetty trying to get back to his feet, indeed does, prior to Shawn Michaels.
13:49What a great matchup.
13:49Here we go, Jannetty now.
13:51With a hard right hand, sets up Michaels for the ride.
13:53From the far side, back, but no, no.
13:56How many times is this referee gonna let Shawn Michaels pull the hair of
13:59Marty Jannetty, man?
14:00Thus far, I would suggest this is excellent officiating.
14:03What?
14:04As Jim Cornette has not been involved in this match at all.
14:08Cornette on the outside has been warned several times by the official,
14:12keep your distance.
14:14Here we go.
14:16Michaels now.
14:16Right in the kisser.
14:20Go ahead.
14:20Yeah, look at that nipple.
14:22Here we go.
14:23Come on, Marty.
14:25It's time for some sweet jam music.
14:28Listen to this capacity crowd, and Jannetty's not gonna catch the show.
14:31Back to the post.
14:33Jannetty's going into the-
14:33With a hard right hand.
14:35And Marty Jannetty now, in trouble.
14:37Set up for the ride.
14:38Yes, here we go, the WWF champion with a dropkick right on the side of the head.
14:42Covering.
14:42No, no, no, no.
14:43Here we go.
14:44Yeah, we're gonna hear some sweet jam music.
14:48I don't think so, McMahon.
14:50Jannetty knows, he knows Shawn Michaels better than anybody.
14:52He knows what's coming.
14:53He's just playing possum.
14:55Reversal coming off the rope now, and a back body dropkick.
14:57No, no, no, here we go.
14:59Paul Bearer coming out.
15:01Can't believe his eyes.
15:03And, wow, wow, wow, wow.
15:06Who's pinning him?
15:07That was a count of three.
15:09Michaels still with the momentum.
15:10Marty Jannetty.
15:11To the buckle now.
15:12What's Michaels gonna do with Jannetty?
15:13Sets him up for the ride yet?
15:14Uh-oh, reversal.
15:15Yes.
15:16Wait a minute, and a fake there.
15:17Nicely done going up to the top.
15:19The WWF champion, yes.
15:21Gotta do it.
15:22No more.
15:22No, no, he got it.
15:24Boy, that was close.
15:25Come on, react.
15:26Clothesline again.
15:27That was a three count if I've ever seen one.
15:28Unbelievable action here tonight on Raw.
15:31Marty Jannetty and Shawn Michaels going at it as we take a look at some of
15:35the action again.
15:36Look at this athletic maneuver.
15:38Look at that.
15:38Who is winning?
15:39Who knows who's gonna win this match?
15:42Yeah, here it is, right here.
15:43A kick out again.
15:44He kicked out, I can't believe it.
15:46Jannetty's winning tonight.
15:49Welcome back, everyone, to WWF Raw.
15:50Here we go.
15:51And down the rocker dropper.
15:53Finally, McMahon, this is it.
15:55We're gonna see the end of Shawn Michaels.
15:57His ego has finally caught up with him.
15:59You know, Bret Hart used to claim to be the fightingest champion in the history of
16:02the WWF, and now Shawn Michaels trying to take his place.
16:05Well, this is it.
16:06You're gonna see the end of Shawn Michaels right here.
16:08Finishing, baby.
16:09Marty Jannetty on the top rope, and no.
16:12Both men anticipating what the other man is gonna do.
16:15That's how much they know each other.
16:16Look at this.
16:17Look at the midsection.
16:18Set up now, and look at the retaliation.
16:22Reversal, look out, here comes the piledriver.
16:24Michaels has Jannetty, and he rocks him down.
16:26That's mind-blowing, McMahon.
16:28Shawn Michaels now, who has been taken to the limit.
16:32Michaels to the outside.
16:35Come on, Jannetty, you gotta come up with a counter for this.
16:37Lee Cassidy keeping his distance.
16:40As well as Cornette on the top rope now.
16:42Hey, Marty, yeah.
16:44No.
16:46Now is the time.
16:48Shawn Michaels, go ahead.
16:52Lee Cassidy, begging, pleading, would you dare to get out?
16:57Cornette, do something.
16:59Here we go.
17:01The capacity crowd waiting for the-
17:03Yeah, that'll do it.
17:06Covering, one, two, yes.
17:10And a seed of humanity known as The Clash.
17:15Hey, hey, look at this.
17:16Wait a minute, Lee Cassidy, wait a minute.
17:18Lee Cassidy coming in attacking Shawn Michaels from behind.
17:20Just what he deserves.
17:22Look at Cassidy now, all over Michaels.
17:24And wait a minute, Michaels trying to counter.
17:27Yeah.
17:27Wait a minute, Cornette from behind.
17:30Get him, get him.
17:31Wait a minute, Super Sock.
17:33Super Sock, Jose Lathario just proved why he's known as Super Sock.
17:37He just socked Cornette down in a cavern.
17:39He knocked down Jimmy Cornette.
17:41Yeah.
17:42He can't do that.
17:43Shawn Michaels, along with Super Sock, Jose Lathario.
17:49One-on-two, that's why we're here tonight on Raw.
17:52I want to get a couple of ladies and gentlemen tonight.
17:54You're going to see one-on-one, the Bizarre One Goldust against the Wildman.
17:59Mark Merrill King, what's going to happen in a few minutes from now?
18:02I don't know, but I'm also interested to see what's going to happen
18:05when Marlena gets close to Sable.
18:07Wait a minute, we don't need to go there.
18:09What was all that about this casting couch stuff that Marlena was making up for him?
18:13I can't tell you right now, but I'll tell you in a little bit.
18:15It's really, it's hot.
18:17It's hot.
18:18If you want to talk hot, ladies and gentlemen,
18:20you've got to be talking about the leader of the new WWF Generation
18:24Battleman right there, Shawn Michaels.
18:28However, if you don't believe anything can happen here in the World Wrestling
18:31Federation, well, take a look at this footage from this past weekend.
18:35Oh, no, McMahon, you're not going to show what happened to Sonny, are you?
18:37You know that I care about you.
18:38You know how I feel about you, baby.
18:39But you know what, Phineas?
18:41I need to hear it.
18:42I need to hear from your heart.
18:43We almost bought what Sonny was saying to Phineas.
18:47The smoking guns came down.
18:48They couldn't believe what Sonny was saying to Phineas.
18:50He was apologizing to Phineas.
18:52I poured my heart out to you, Phineas.
18:54I am so sorry for everything I've done.
18:55Just be quiet.
18:56Let's listen.
18:56I need to hear how you feel about me for my own sanity.
19:00I need, Phineas, please say those words.
19:03Please, those three little words.
19:05Duh.
19:06Begging Phineas.
19:08I love you.
19:09Phineas, I can't hear you, baby.
19:11Come on.
19:12Let me hear it and let everybody hear how you feel.
19:15You know how I feel about you.
19:16I've got to hear it, baby.
19:17Tell him.
19:18Tell me and tell everybody else how you feel.
19:23I love you.
19:27And watch this.
19:28You make me so happy.
19:30You know how much I care about you.
19:32I just love you so much, honey.
19:34I want to show you how much I really care about you.
19:36Bend over here, big guy.
19:38I want to give you a big kiss.
19:39Pucker up and close those eyes, sweetheart.
19:43Yeah, close your eyes.
19:44Bend on over.
19:46Here it comes, big man.
19:47Ha, ha, ha.
19:50Look at that.
19:50Ooh.
19:54What's going on?
20:02Do you actually think that somebody like me
20:08would be anywhere near involved with a dirty, filthy, no good,
20:15lousy, rotten, pig-headed hog-farming hillbilly like you?
20:24Do you think you've got to be a complete idiot?
20:28You've got to be a complete moron to think
20:32that I would actually feel something in my mind,
20:36in my heart, or in my soul for an idiot like you.
20:43So Phineas, honey, there's only one thing left to do, baby.
20:50Yeah, here we go.
20:52And then it happened.
20:56Phineas, pummeled by both smoking guns.
21:00However, look who came to the rescue.
21:04Hillbilly Jam, along with Henry, Slop Top, Good Luck Horseshoe,
21:11Charmini, then there was only one person left in the ring
21:15with the whole Godwin family that didn't belong.
21:18Don't show it.
21:19Cut the tape.
21:20No.
21:21Hillbilly Jam and Henry.
21:23Cut off Sonny.
21:24She can't go anywhere.
21:25She's stuck.
21:26She's cornered.
21:27And we'll watch this now.
21:31What Phineas do?
21:33Let's get back to action now, my man.
21:34No, don't show it.
21:35Hillbilly Jam wanted him to do it.
21:36Threatened to slap her, but what did he do?
21:39Did he have it in his heart?
21:40Could he do it?
21:41Could he bring himself to slap the one human being whom he loved and trusted?
21:45I can't look.
21:46And he couldn't do it.
21:49He just couldn't do it.
21:51Because he's an idiot.
21:55And then, as she thought for a moment that she was safe and out of harm's way,
21:59and completely controlling this man's mind, look, she throws him a kiss.
22:04And then, and then.
22:07No.
22:08No.
22:09Look at that, yeah, big chunks and all.
22:18Let's go to commercial.
22:20Look at this, down into her stringy hair.
22:23Sonny has been slapped.
22:28What is all that stuff in there, McMahon?
22:31It's sickening.
22:32Look at this.
22:33She's slipping and sliding.
22:35Let's take another look at it.
22:36No, not again, please.
22:38No, she can't believe it.
22:40Look at that.
22:41Look at the big chunks falling all down around her.
22:44Yeah.
22:44McMahon, I'm about to lose my life.
22:45And again.
22:47We can see this over and over and over again.
22:51Sonny finally got her comeuppance.
22:53Look at that.
22:54She can't believe it.
22:56She has been slapped.
22:58Finally, Sonny Gotwell was coming to her for trying to make a fool out of Phineas.
23:02Nonetheless, that spell has been broken by Phineas.
23:05How's it up?
23:06All right, in the square circle right now, Duke D'Angelosi,
23:09who's scheduled to lock up with the man who defeated The Undertaker.
23:12Can you imagine that?
23:13At the King of the Ring, we're talking about the deranged mankind, however.
23:17Joining us right out here at ringside, a legend in his own right,
23:21Jake The Snake Roberts.
23:23Thank you, Vince.
23:24It's great to be here.
23:25And a bird's eye view in a moment of a man whom you're gonna be facing in Vancouver.
23:30But first, we're talking about international incident,
23:34you one on one with mankind.
23:37And he is unquestionably the most deranged individual in all of
23:40the World Wrestling Federation.
23:41I can look at this man and understand how much pain he's feeling.
23:44Where it happened, how it happened, I don't know.
23:47But you know, anytime you step in that square circle,
23:49you gotta be ready to take care of business.
23:51If it means doing it, you're gonna do it.
23:53Miss Capacity crowd thus far enjoying the action here tonight on Raw.
23:56We certainly hope you are as well.
23:57What about the fans that turned out this past weekend?
24:01Yeah, the WBF, there's no question.
24:03There's nothing like being at a World Wrestling Federation event live.
24:07Indianapolis, thank you for joining us this past weekend.
24:10Market Square Arena was rocking.
24:12What about Saturday morning?
24:13Man, the tickets for SummerSlam went on sale at Gunderina.
24:17They were going faster than a ticket to an Indian game.
24:19No doubt about it.
24:19Lined up for blocks and blocks, yeah.
24:22And then on this Saturday night, the world famous Joe Louis Arena in Detroit,
24:28Michigan Motown.
24:29And thank you as well for joining us, everyone in the greater Pittsburgh area,
24:33at the Igloo just last night.
24:34The click was out in force.
24:36Mankind and the Dumpster locking up in the middle of the ring.
24:38And look at this, Strike Festival begin right away.
24:40Get him.
24:41And that's not exactly the thing to do with a man like Mankind.
24:44And Jake, your impressions of the man whom you're gonna be facing at
24:47an international incident, Mankind, he's deranged.
24:50He demolishes you, but he stays on you.
24:52That's the kind of guy you gotta watch.
24:54He's on top of you.
24:55I can't believe you're out here with us, Jake.
24:56What's the matter?
24:57O'Malley's bar closed tonight?
24:59Come on, let's knock it off.
25:00Watch your mouth, King.
25:03Yeah, what about that shirt he's got on?
25:05Looks like you got slopped, Jake.
25:06I bet you were drunk when you got dressed this morning.
25:09We're back with more WWF Raw during the break, Mankind.
25:13Hey, during the break, did you see Jake over there drinking out of that brown
25:15paper bag, huh?
25:17He's drinking doubles and seeing double.
25:19The Dumpster hammering away on this deranged individual.
25:23And I wonder, how would you counteract this?
25:25My goodness, individual, Jake.
25:26Never give up.
25:27Tell me this, Jake, how many Mankind's do you see in there right now, huh?
25:30What's up with you?
25:31Is your vision cleared up, huh?
25:32No, stop it.
25:33Look at his eyes, McMahon.
25:35You know he tied one on last night.
25:37Come on, those eyes are a result of the injury, of course,
25:40at the recent King of the Ring.
25:41Thanks to the man they call Vader, who busted up Jake's ribs.
25:44No doubt about that, Jake.
25:46Yeah, but this is how you get injured, is playing with people like this.
25:49Guys that are willing to go that far are people that you really gotta watch.
25:53Vader's that type of man.
25:54This man here is so unorthodox, it's unbelievable.
25:57With the rib injuries you have sustained, are you gonna be ready for a Mankind?
26:03I pray I am.
26:04That's all I can do.
26:05Yeah, get a couple shots of that liquid courage,
26:08you'll be ready for anything, McMahon.
26:09Can you stop it?
26:11Can you stop that, man?
26:12You don't need to go there.
26:13Look at his eyes.
26:14You don't need to go there.
26:15You need to go down to the blood bank and have your eyes drained.
26:17Look at him, McMahon.
26:20Week after week, huh?
26:22I'm gonna say, Jake, your honesty unquestionably has been refreshing, and
26:25it can't be easy to make honest comments like that.
26:29The fact that you had a problem at one time, and then licked it.
26:33I think that's commendable.
26:34He had a problem and he drank it.
26:35You know, I came out and explained my past.
26:40And I'm proud of what I went through,
26:42because I can help others that are going through that right now.
26:45I'm not ashamed of that.
26:46You're proud of the fact that you were stumbling, bumbling, drunk?
26:49Huh?
26:50I would be proud of that.
26:51I'm proud of the recovery.
26:52Yeah, right.
26:53You're a big hypocrite.
26:54You know it.
26:55I know it.
26:56I'll tell everybody.
26:57I'll tell the truth.
26:58What is your past like?
26:59What class did you come out from?
27:00What are you talking about?
27:01I'm a king.
27:02Yeah, you're a king.
27:03Royal past.
27:03Look out here, look at McMahon.
27:04Look at McMahon.
27:05McMahon's gonna be whiting a knee, whiting to the face of Duke, the Dumpster Trussee.
27:09I'm surprised they even let you wrestle anyway, Jake.
27:11When you sweat, you're a fire hazard.
27:14On July 21st, Jake, this is Nick Roberts.
27:17You're facing a man who is pulling his own hair out.
27:20How are you gonna contend with a man like this?
27:23You just gotta be prepared, Vince.
27:25I've always been a little bit different.
27:27My drum beat, the sound of a beat drum, I'm just so upset.
27:31I can't believe I'm even listening to what you're over there saying.
27:34I can't believe you're talking.
27:35Your breath is bleaching my hair.
27:36No, Duke Dumpster Trussee.
27:39All right, Duke.
27:39That's fine posture, nicely done.
27:41That's the way you do it.
27:42However- Look at this guy.
27:44He's right back up.
27:45Double feature here.
27:46Yeah, here, let Jake call the action.
27:48He's so drunk, he's slumping over his own words.
27:50You can't do it, can you?
27:51You and your buddy Tiny Tim were so
27:53bombed when you got off that plane in Philadelphia.
27:55You couldn't even walk to get your baggage.
27:57They had to send a cart for you, and then you cart jacked the cart.
28:00What? Yeah, Tiny Tim was driving, and
28:01there was Jake riding shotgun, giving him directions.
28:04They ran over 40 or 50 people.
28:06Stop it.
28:06Go ahead and tell him you got a ticket for aiding and abetting a DUI.
28:09You know the only thing I can say in Jake's favor now,
28:11at least he doesn't drink and drive anymore.
28:13Ow.
28:15We'll tell you something.
28:15He's afraid he might hit a bump and spill his drink.
28:17Ha ha ha.
28:18Look out.
28:20Cover, we've got one.
28:21Kick out, Mankind.
28:22Almost a count of three.
28:23I've made my mistakes, and I've paid for my mistakes.
28:26You know, once I was blind, but now I see.
28:27Once I was deaf, but now I hear.
28:29I know what's going on in my life now, and I've got full control.
28:32So King, if you want something, man, you need to step up.
28:35I will serve you.
28:37Oh, wait a minute, look at that.
28:38No, there it is.
28:39There it is.
28:40McMahon and McClaw applied on Duke the Dunster Drunk Saber.
28:44That's what you gotta watch.
28:45Yeah, take a good look at that, Jake.
28:46It's the same thing you do to The Undertaker.
28:48You're gonna get to see into your future right there.
28:51And that's it.
28:52It's over.
28:53Yeah, Jake Roberts, you and your holier-than-thou attitude.
28:56Take a look at that.
28:58You stumped with that?
28:59I know he thinks about as much of you as I do.
29:01You're stepping a little too hard.
29:03You're stepping a little too hard.
29:04I'll step where I want to step.
29:06Do you, really?
29:06You don't need to be acting tough with those injured ribs, Jake,
29:09because you see, I know what kind of hypocrite you really are.
29:12I know that you want to stand out here,
29:14and you want to tell everybody about your past and about your-
29:17What's your problem, man?
29:19What's your problem?
29:20What do you want to say?
29:22What do you want to say?
29:25What do you want to say?
29:26You say it to me.
29:27I want to say you're a hypocrite.
29:29You know what he says, holier-than-thou?
29:31People like you, I'll prove you he's a hypocrite.
29:33No, sit down, my man.
29:34You don't need to stand up.
29:35People like you are supposed to turn the other cheek, right?
29:38Let's see if you turn the other-
29:39Hey, hey, wait just a minute.
29:42Maybe he is.
29:43He did turn the other cheek.
29:45Let's see how the other cheek does, huh?
29:47How does the other cheek do, Jake the Snake?
29:49How do you-
29:50Hey!
29:50Hey!
29:53Hey!
29:54Hey!
29:55Hey!
29:56Hey!
29:57Hey!
29:58Hey!
29:59Hey!
30:00Hey!
30:01Hey!
30:02Hey!
30:03Hey!
30:04Hey!
30:05Jake the Snake is being driven down!
30:07Look at this, that man about to fall.
30:08Stuck way down deep into the gut of Jake the Snake Roberts,
30:12this lunatic.
30:15Mankind, look at the King.
30:17Look at that.
30:17Roll him in his foot right in the face of Jake The Snake Roberts.
30:21Roberts is paralyzed.
30:22Mankind, here come the official to try to get Mankind off of Jake The Snake.
30:28Did you see what he did to me, McMahon?
30:31What, you hot dog derriere?
30:32He tried to choke me.
30:34Mankind finally off of Jake The Snake Roberts.
30:36Don't scare him, no, no, no.
30:39Yeah, get him out of here.
30:40Get that chair away from him, get him out of here.
30:43Get him with a bar stool.
30:44Mankind giving Jake The Snake a little taste of what he's likely to get.
30:53He's laying there paralyzed.
30:54At the international incident.
30:56He's used to that, McMahon.
30:58He's always laying paralyzed, drunk in the gutter.
31:00What?
31:01Look at him.
31:03What do you want, you want to wake him up?
31:05You want to revive him?
31:06I can do that for you.
31:07Hey, have fun for the road, Jake.
31:09Look at him, he can't, let's go, let's go.
31:40We're back with more WWF action, Goldust against Wildman, Mark Merrill.
31:43But of course- Look, look at me.
31:44I see.
31:44Look, in the background there, you see exactly what was going on with you and
31:47Jake The Snake.
31:47And then here comes Mankind.
31:49Yeah. Look what Mankind does to Jake The Snake Roberts.
31:52Unbelievable.
31:52What he deserved.
31:53Jake The Snake can attack me for absolutely no reason.
31:56Look at this.
31:57Mankind put that paralyzing mandible claw on Jake The Snake Roberts.
32:01Yeah, the mandible claw.
32:02It tastes great, less filling.
32:04I'll tell you.
32:05What it is in Mankind's past to make him do something like this to Jake The Snake is
32:10obviously his mom and dad weren't Ozzy and Harriet.
32:12Yeah, no.
32:12Hey, you know who Jake's parents were?
32:14Bartles and James.
32:16All right, okay.
32:17I heard Jake's really seeing red now.
32:19Johnny Walker red.
32:20This hasn't been happy hour for Jake, has it?
32:24Hey, McMahon, it's too bad Jake's not out here to enjoy this Goldust.
32:28But he's probably in the back having a Goldschlager.
32:30All right, Goldust on his way to the spirit circle to lock up the Wildman,
32:35Mark Merrill, however, on his way as well to face The Undertaker in Vancouver.
32:38Look what he did last week to The Undertaker.
32:40A handful of Goldust right into the eyes of The Undertaker temporarily impairing
32:45the vision of the man from the dark side.
32:47And Goldust right now tonight facing The Wildman.
32:52I can't wait to see this, McMahon.
32:54And now here at ringside, a man who has placed water in his veins indeed.
32:59The King of the Ring of Undertaker, yes, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
33:05And we just saw some of your dirty work last week.
33:08And Goldust in cahoots, obviously, in your match with The Undertaker.
33:12Well, he got what he had coming.
33:14Is that right? Goldust is gonna do what he wants to do.
33:17He's a bizarre individual.
33:18Him coming out there and throwing some stuff in Undertaker's eyes.
33:21You didn't have anything to do with it.
33:22It doesn't really matter.
33:23Doesn't make a difference to me.
33:25I didn't get beat.
33:26I would have beat him had that Goldust come, but
33:28that's just the way it goes, isn't it?
33:29I'll beat him on down the line anyway.
33:31Is that right?
33:32Yeah, that's right.
33:32Just like you're gonna beat Wildman, Mark Merrill, is that it?
33:34That's why you're out here, isn't it?
33:36Wildman, Mark Merrill, ladies and gentlemen,
33:38on his way to the squared circle at any moment.
33:41And of course, that's the man whom you will collide with at an international
33:45incident, July 21, indeed, somewhat of a return match, if you would,
33:50from the King of the Ring.
33:51That's the thing, he's asking me for a return match.
33:56He didn't have to ask for nothing.
33:58After he went and kicked me right in my mouth and put about 60,
34:0170 stitches in my mouth, he's got a rematch.
34:04If you thought I whipped his ass before, you wait until you see him next time, son.
34:08Here we go, ladies and gentlemen, now.
34:11Come on, come on, man, in the WWE.
34:15He's the biggest joke in wrestling, if you ask me.
34:18All right.
34:19There's Marlain on the subject of an incident this past weekend.
34:22Yeah, look, look, you've been talking about an incident, let's get it straight.
34:24Yeah. Okay, Sable was out in a parking lot.
34:27She had the trunk open of her car and she was getting out some heavy suitcases.
34:31She's bending over.
34:32Yeah. And of course,
34:33well, Marlena happened to notice some static cling on her skirt.
34:37Tonight, Raw, I brought you my Burger King where you can get your burgers worth.
34:41You had to throw that in my face, huh, McMahon?
34:43Listen, let me finish my story.
34:45Everybody knows how embarrassing static cling can be on your skirt.
34:49I wouldn't, no, go ahead.
34:50Well, Marlena did Sable a big favor by going over there, and
34:53I think she just sort of adjusted the skirt or whatever.
34:56You know, anyway, she's helping her out.
34:57Well, I can tell you that whatever was done, Wild Man Mark Merrill did not
35:00appreciate it at all.
35:02And look at beautiful Sable.
35:04What did you do to this headset, McMahon?
35:07It's so damn loose.
35:07You must have stretched it out for me.
35:09Did you wear this before I came out here?
35:11It's that toupee of his.
35:12Look how big it is.
35:13You're killing me.
35:14Leave my toupee alone.
35:15I'm gonna tell you something right now, McMahon.
35:18I'm gonna be on good behaviors tonight.
35:21But I've got a mind right now to take this headset off and
35:24take care of Mark Merrill right now.
35:26That's why you're out here.
35:27Do it, do it.
35:27Right, right.
35:29That'd be great.
35:30Well, I just saw- Some of the consequences if you do that from WWF officials.
35:35And here, Marlena with that stinking cigar.
35:38It is rotten.
35:39Let me tell you something.
35:40If you keep cutting me off while I'm talking, you're gonna have a fatter lip
35:43than mine, McMahon, cuz I, don't put it past me.
35:46I'll reach over and nail you right between the- I'm not attempting to be
35:49disrespectful.
35:50I'm simply trying to call the action, call the matches.
35:52Yes, you are disrespectful.
35:53Don't cut me off, son.
35:54That's right.
35:54Listen, McMahon, it takes a king to know a king.
35:57If you wanna ask any questions, you ask me.
35:59I'll converse with the new king over there, and
36:01I'll treat him with the proper respect.
36:02You never treat anybody with respect.
36:05Both Goldust and
36:05Mark Merrill certainly will treat each other with respect in terms of athleticism.
36:08And what sort of mood is Goldust in?
36:11We know that answer.
36:13He is angry, and he is one vindictive former Intercontinental Champion.
36:19Who knows now, he must climb that ladder of success, and
36:22I would suggest he wants to do it right over the wild man, Mark Merrill.
36:25I got a question for Stone Cold, the new king of the ring.
36:29What about when you were going up against Jake the Snake Roberts?
36:32Was he sober, huh?
36:33Did he- The smell of alcohol was so
36:36bad in the ring, I almost got a buzz from it.
36:38Come on now. See there, McMahon.
36:39Jake the Snake was a great athlete in his prime.
36:42The fact of the matter is, his time is done coming.
36:45One, two.
36:46Almost a count of three.
36:48All right, Bobby McMurrow and Goldust.
36:50Goldust set up for the ride now.
36:52Off the ropes to the near side, boot to the midsection.
36:54What a number cut by the wild man.
36:57Look at him.
36:59Boy, that left one almost nailed him.
37:01Wild man now.
37:01Watch out the other side.
37:02You never know what he's gonna do.
37:04He doesn't know what he's gonna do.
37:07He's too dang stupid.
37:08Speaking of Jake the Snake Roberts, when I grew up watching him as a kid,
37:13I really used to like him.
37:14As a kid?
37:14Yeah, when I was a kid, that's the key thing there.
37:17He's an old man, he doesn't belong.
37:19That's my ring right there, McMahon, and he doesn't belong in it anymore.
37:23This is my federation, and he doesn't belong in it anymore.
37:26Well, you have to wonder how Jake would have done had Vader not damaged his ribs.
37:31You have to wonder what would have happened had he been at 100% capacity
37:35facing you in the final.
37:36Well, it would have taken me a little bit longer, but
37:38he would have got hurt just as bad, and he would have got his feelings hurt too.
37:41His liver is so ulcerated from all the alcohol abuse that he suffered in his
37:45past, he wouldn't have lasted with Stone Cold, not one bit.
37:49And he got 100% beaten.
37:51You got that right, Stone Cold.
37:53He was a beaten man before he ever got in the ring.
37:55Well, let me correct myself.
37:56He was 100 proof beaten.
37:58All right, Jake won't touch anything unless it's 100 proof.
38:01Goldust set up for the ride now.
38:02Coming off, and a leap frog nicely done by Wildman, Mark Barrow.
38:04And boom, nice arm drag takedown.
38:07Wildman, reversal, how about that?
38:09Wildman with a dropkick.
38:10Yeah, the action really picking up here, and
38:12Goldust to the outside, right in front of us.
38:15I understand Jake has left the building.
38:17I said he's gone to Canada, not to celebrate Canada Day.
38:20Apparently he saw a billboard outside and said, great Canada drive.
38:23Wait a minute, what is Marlena doing?
38:27Marlena, that's not a clean answer.
38:30What's she doing?
38:30So Marlena winked at Sable.
38:32What?
38:33Marlena coming closer to Sable.
38:35Stay with us.
38:36Welcome back everyone to watch WWF Raw.
38:38Wildman, Mark Barrow, and
38:39Goldust in a slugfest on the outside during the break.
38:41The referee jumped outside and separated Sable and Marlena.
38:44Yeah, and Marrow was between them too.
38:46What are you doing, son?
38:47You worried about old Sable out there?
38:49Now you're getting your butt kicked.
38:50You should be worried about Sable out there, Marlena,
38:53making advances during the break.
38:55He got real close to her, didn't he, huh?
38:56Coming off the rope, now the Wildman, and what a clothesline by Goldust.
39:01It's almost as if Marlena took up the histrionics where Goldust left off.
39:06I wonder if you'd care to comment on the action to the Wildman.
39:09He's a marked man, no pun intended.
39:12Well, you gave him his first loss.
39:14And I'm sure Wildman, Mark Barrow, very much will look forward.
39:17Hey, hey, hey, speaking of lips.
39:19We may be fixing to see something here.
39:21What are you talking about?
39:21Well, look at Marlena.
39:23She's got those sensuous lips all pursed up there.
39:25And she can't seem to take her eyes off Sable.
39:28Well, Sable's not looking back.
39:30Marlena, yes, sort of in a trance of some kind.
39:34Yeah.
39:36Sable, look over there.
39:36Look, Sable.
39:37Look, Sable.
39:38By the way, ladies and gentlemen,
39:39everyone looking forward to the international incident in Vancouver,
39:42British Columbia.
39:43There you go, July 21, Ticketmaster.
39:46That's how you get your tickets, by dialing that number.
39:48General Motors Place, the site in Vancouver, British Columbia.
39:52Yes, no doubt, there will be an international incident.
39:56And right now, hope to rub the Wildman underneath the ground,
39:58out to the other side.
40:00What a knee to the midsection.
40:01And Wildman, Mark Barrow, continues to be in trouble as Goldust dominates the matchup.
40:06And with that busted mouth, Mr. Austin, you were in trouble at the King of the Ring.
40:10Stone Cold, tell him how when you were rushed to the hospital to be stitched up,
40:13the surgeon begged you to stay.
40:15They wanted to admit you.
40:17They said you needed surgery, but tell them how you said, let me back.
40:20Let me get back to become the King of the Ring.
40:22Tell them how they wanted to keep you at the hospital.
40:24Well, I grabbed that guy by the throat, and I said, brother,
40:26Stone Cold's gotta be back.
40:27I'm gonna win it all, and that's exactly what happened.
40:30And there's a lot of controversy going on, saying so-and-so got counted out, or
40:34so-and-so got disqualified.
40:36The bottom line is, if you're stupid enough to get disqualified or
40:40counted out on something as important as King of the Ring,
40:42you don't deserve to be there in the first place.
40:44So by proxy, I beat everybody in the WWF, except Davey Smith and
40:50Shawn Michaels, because they weren't even in it.
40:53The bottom line is, we all know that I can beat them, too.
40:56Look at that.
40:5716 men started the King of the Ring tournament, and
40:59you, McMahon, are lucky enough to be sitting beside-
41:01I cover one, two, and- Wildman, able to kick out.
41:05And again, Goldust perhaps getting a little frustrated now.
41:08He's tried just about everything to put the Wildman away.
41:11And I would suggest you were a bit frustrated, were you not,
41:13in your matchup with Wildman, Mark Merrill?
41:15He keeps coming back.
41:17He has that tenacity, doesn't he?
41:18He's got that tenacity.
41:21I'll tell you something right now, McMahon.
41:22You're really starting to get on my nerves, son.
41:24Hey, if you- I'm holding myself back, but
41:26if you keep coming out here and putting him over like a million bucks,
41:30I am gonna have to punch you right in your nose, son.
41:32Just feel free. Stone Cold is here, brother.
41:33I'm what's happening right now.
41:35You talk about me, you call the action in the ring.
41:37But we're not gonna sit here and say hurrah, hurrah for Mark Merrill.
41:40That's right.
41:40We don't give it, we don't care about him right now, brother.
41:44You're lucky I'm out here, the ratings are up.
41:45This place is at an all-time high because Stone Cold is right here beside you, son.
41:49You're a great competitor, we stated that before.
41:52Well, keep on saying it.
41:52I know you're being redundant, but I don't mind.
41:54Just keep saying it, baby, because you're right.
41:56A rake in the face by Goldust.
41:58And again, Goldust, more vicious than he's ever been.
42:00Wildman set up for the ride.
42:01Now, Wildman on the other side of him now.
42:05Nice reversal by Goldust, and look at that, everybody, the Wildman, Mark Merrill.
42:09Shoulders down, one, two, he got him for the- No, no, no, no.
42:11That was close.
42:13Very, very close.
42:14And look out, a right hand by Goldust.
42:16And right away, Goldust is back in control.
42:20What a matchup.
42:21Hey, you talk about a matchup.
42:23Look, McMahon, here comes Marlena, she's coming around the ring.
42:26Goldust now coming off the rope and drives the right hand right on target.
42:30Goldust with an opportunity to put the Wildman away.
42:33Here we go with the cover, one, two, and a kick out by the Wildman.
42:36Look at Marlena, she's winking a sable.
42:39See it.
42:40Well, have you ever seen anything like that before?
42:43Feel it.
42:44Only in the WWF can you see this.
42:47Touch it.
42:48This building has exploded.
42:51Live it live.
42:52As the World Wrestling Federation's Attitude Adjustment Tour sends jolts of
42:56excitement through an arena near you.
42:58This Friday, we make our way to the Meadowlands for
43:00an Independence Day weekend blast.
43:02The block party continues this Saturday at the New Haven Coliseum.
43:05We close out the holiday weekend this Sunday in Providence.
43:08Next Thursday, we invade Albany's Knickerbocker Arena.
43:10And next Friday, we take over the Centrum.
43:13You only live once, so live it live.
43:17With the World Wrestling Federation's Attitude Adjustment Tour.
43:21Welcome back, everyone, to more WWF Raw.
43:24Benchman Jerry The King Lawler and out at ringside as well.
43:27Stone Cold Steve Austin watching his highly competitive matchup.
43:30Wildman Mark Merrow against Goldust.
43:31No, Rhyme, and then he is the Wildman.
43:33Look at him go down into the shoulder.
43:35Wildman uncostly focused now against Goldust.
43:39And off the rope, and somebody there.
43:41Not quite so focused on McMahon.
43:43Speaking of unfocused, of course, look at this.
43:45Look at Goldust going to work on the Wildman.
43:47Hammer ref get in there.
43:48That most unfocused individual, a time bomb if there ever was.
43:52Brian Billman on America Online tomorrow night, 8 o'clock Eastern.
43:56Who knows what he's gonna say.
43:58Yeah, that's right.
43:59Hey, not tomorrow.
44:00Let's talk about today for just a second.
44:01I would be remiss if I let the opportunity go by without wishing a happy birthday.
44:06It takes a king to know a princess.
44:07Princess Diana, it's her birthday today.
44:09As a matter of fact, it is a happy birthday to Bret the Hitman Hart,
44:13whose birthday is tomorrow.
44:15The best there is, the best there was, and perhaps the best there ever will be.
44:19Today's a day of celebration in Canada.
44:21Tomorrow will be a day of mourning.
44:23Sable in the corner of the Wildman, Mark Merrow.
44:25Marlena, of course, in the corner of Goldust.
44:26But you don't need anyone to do your Stone Cold Steve Austin.
44:29I don't need anybody, man.
44:29I proved that.
44:30I got rid of D.B.
44:31Austin, didn't I?
44:32Yes, you did.
44:33Gee, why don't you have a couple of pots and
44:34pans to clang together out there and make a little noise?
44:37Go, Mark, go, go, Mark, go.
44:39I'll fix you to get up and knock.
44:40Wait a minute, wait a minute, please, just sit down.
44:43Wildman Mark Merrow has enough difficulty with Goldust at the moment.
44:46Goldust, on July 21, to lock up with the Phenom himself, the Undertaker.
44:51Wildman Mark Merrow to face you, Stone Cold Steve Austin,
44:54all in an international incident.
44:57Wait a minute, what's Merrow doing?
44:58What's he trying to do here?
44:59Look at that.
45:01Wildman Mark Merrow has Goldust down.
45:02And down.
45:05All right.
45:06Wildman with an opportunity now to put it away.
45:07Look at concern for the first time on the face of Marlena.
45:10Goldust in trouble.
45:11Wildman Mark Merrow with an opportunity to turn things around.
45:14Of course, you hear the encouragement from Sable on the outside.
45:17Yeah, I think that's the first time that Marlena has actually taken her eyes off
45:20Sable.
45:21And, whoa, Wildman driven down to the canvas face first.
45:25Cover by Goldust, one, two, and- No, count of two.
45:29What's he gonna cover?
45:30And Goldust still can't put the Wildman away.
45:32Come on, ref, be ready to count.
45:34Wildman Mark Merrow and Goldust really having a go over here tonight on Raw.
45:38Uh-oh, series of right hands down by the Wildman.
45:40Goldust back to the corner.
45:42Wildman Mark Merrow sets up the golden one.
45:44Get back to the buckle.
45:45What an elbow by Goldust.
45:47Good move, good move.
45:47And, power again.
45:49Power slam, cover one.
45:52He got him.
45:53No, no, only a count of two.
45:55Well, that was close.
45:57Wildman Mark Merrow, boom.
45:58Man, clotheslining the other one down to the canvas.
46:02Whoa, a brutal clothesline by Wildman.
46:05Look at Marlena, here she comes.
46:07Well, I see why now, look at Sable's outfit, see all that static cling?
46:12What are you talking, wait a minute, wait, what is this?
46:15Marlena has no business over here.
46:17Marlena, what a, yeah, that's where it's clinging.
46:21What, what a, what is Marlena doing over here by Sable?
46:25Yeah, cigar smoke will get rid of static cling.
46:30What?
46:32Marlena, with a hook.
46:36Don't say it, don't say it.
46:37And Sable, concentrating on the match.
46:40All round house, misses it.
46:42No, no.
46:43Goddamn, goes Goldust.
46:45And Wildman Mark Merrow, with a succession of left jabs.
46:47Look how quick those left jabs.
46:48Off the rope now, and yeah, look out for the ride.
46:51A rainbow on the outside.
46:53Yeah. Look at Sable.
46:55Sable trying to ignore the advances of Marlena.
46:58What is Marlena up to?
46:59Look at this.
47:03Wildman Mark Merrow looking for a moment ago,
47:05distracted nonetheless, going up to the top rope.
47:07It's the Wildman, on the top rope, and a ladder, and got up to it.
47:12A cover.
47:12Stay still, Sable.
47:14My God, what now?
47:16I counted two.
47:17Right shoulder.
47:18I think Sable is enjoying the attention.
47:20What are you, enjoying, I doubt that very seriously.
47:23Off the rope.
47:23And a boot to the midsection.
47:25Wildman now coming off with a knee lift, nicely done.
47:28And Sable- Look at Marlena.
47:29Look, look, look.
47:30Marlena.
47:31Blowing a stinking cigar smoke right in the face of Sable.
47:35Give me a break.
47:37Wildman Mark Merrow, watch out from behind.
47:39Goldust, oh no.
47:41Goldust sets up the Wildman.
47:42Look out, here it comes.
47:44The curtain call.
47:46No, down to the canvas.
47:47A cover, a count.
47:50He got him.
47:51Yes, yes.
47:52You take your mind off what's going on in the ring, son, and you're gonna get beat.
47:57If he can't keep his eyes off Sable and keep his mind on what's going on in the ring,
48:00that's gonna continue to happen to him.
48:02And when Stone Cold gets him in the ring, the exact same thing's gonna happen again.
48:06Like you said, Nero tries to be a hero, and ends up a zero.
48:10All right, let's keep our eyes on Goldust and Marlena.
48:14By the way, next week in tag team action here on Raw, The Man They Call Vader,
48:18teaming up with the British Bulldog will face the Godwin family.
48:21Henry and Phineas, and then Owen Hart, the King of Hart's Faces.
48:25The one and only Ultimate Warrior.
48:29What the?
