01:53That could be the battle of all time!
01:59Dua Lipa in the ring
02:01with Sable
02:03To the wild man, Mark Barrow,
02:05making his first appearance on Raw
02:07since being crowned new Intercontinental Champion
02:10Set to go against Diesel
02:12Mark Barrow, of course, looking great
02:15I'm still looking for Jim Ross
02:17Well, as we are both, kind of left us out here
02:19I know he's here, I saw him in the back earlier.
02:22Yeah, I saw him earlier.
02:23And Mark Barrow has the unenviable task of facing Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
02:30And wait a minute, my, there's Ross right there.
02:34What's the deal?
02:36Why is Jim Ross walking to the ring with Big Daddy Cool Diesel?
02:40It looks like he's conducting some kind of business deal or something.
02:45I don't understand this situation at all.
02:47Jim Ross, get over here where you belong.
02:52I can't understand it.
02:55Come on over here, Ross, sit down.
02:57Well, Jim Ross coming out with Diesel.
03:03Ross, what's the deal?
03:06Where have you been?
03:07Well, I'm sorry I'm late, gentlemen.
03:09I had a little, you know, I'm Vice President of Administration for
03:12the World Wrestling Federation.
03:13I had a little official business to conduct with Diesel there.
03:18And time kind of got away from us.
03:19Yes, it did.
03:20We're on the air, you know.
03:22I realize that, I apologize.
03:24Well, JR, since the return of Rey's Ramona, now Diesel.
03:28Diesel, I know, very impressive yesterday on WWF Superstars.
03:31But he's gonna have his hands full here in this non-title match against
03:34the Intercontinental Champion, Mark Marrow.
03:36There's no doubt about that.
03:37Mark Marrow is a wonderful athlete.
03:39He's gonna make a great Intercontinental Champion.
03:41And maybe Marrow's lucky that this is a non-title matchup.
03:44Wow.
03:45We got a brief glimpse at Diesel last week.
03:47And I'll tell you, this man is a monster.
03:49Well, you know, when you're seven feet tall and
03:53weigh over 300 pounds, it's very tough to, you know, if you're the opponent,
03:58it's very tough to get a man like this off his feet.
04:01It's hard to physically defend against the power and the size of this Diesel.
04:06I know none of the other superstars here at the WWF are looking forward to
04:09getting in the ring with Diesel.
04:10They don't think too highly of these guys.
04:12But what do you think, Jim Ross?
04:14What do you think of what the fans are,
04:15what do you think of the fans' reaction to this Diesel character?
04:18Well, I think the fans are very excited from the standpoint that more great,
04:23young, powerful athletes are coming to compete in the WWF.
04:26It's The Wild Man Mark Marrow now.
04:29Series of left hands, off the ropes, big drop kick, and
04:32Diesel goes all the way out to the floor.
04:34And watch this, over the top, crossbody.
04:40Tremendous maneuver by Wild Man Mark Marrow,
04:42who will meet Baruch on pay-per-view just under two weeks from now.
04:47On the night somebody is gonna be buried alive.
04:49Look out!
04:50My, down across it, hooks the leg, one, two, and a two count only.
04:56Marrow's looking very, very good here, getting Diesel off his feet.
05:00Reversal now, Diesel firing Marrow across, misses with the clothesline,
05:04catches him, and shows his power.
05:07Unbelievable power.
05:09Diesel is just manhandling the Intercontinental Champion, and
05:13that is no small feat.
05:14Well, tell us a little bit about what those business deals you were conducting
05:18with Diesel.
05:19Well, King, I can't do that.
05:20That's confidential.
05:21That's official World Wrestling Federation business.
05:23JR, can we get your comments on Vince McMahon saying that you are now
05:26being investigated?
05:27He made those comments this past Saturday on LiveWire.
05:30Well, yeah, there's an investigation going on.
05:32They're not gonna find anything.
05:34There's McMahon just- He's just spending more money and
05:36wasting more people's time.
05:38He's got about 15 of his rare kissing VPs on this project.
05:42Hey, Ross, listen now, these investigations can be serious.
05:46You saw Bill Clinton sweating bullets there when, sweating Frisco,
05:49as a matter of fact, when he was in that Whitewater investigation.
05:52What if they get you under one of those lights?
05:53No problem.
05:54I'll tell the truth just like I have from the first day I started here.
05:57Diesel now shoots Mark Marrow across, misses an elbow.
06:01My, but plants him, hits him hard with that big boot.
06:03Tell you what, this Diesel is more impressive physically than I can remember.
06:09Well, everybody should understand that this is not some sort of outsider deal.
06:13This is, if any deal, and I don't really call it a deal,
06:16this whole situation, if anything, is an insider situation.
06:19All I've tried to do is create a more competitive environment in the WWF.
06:25And the ones that are gonna win in that are the fans.
06:27I hope the WWF does great business.
06:31Let me just tell you this.
06:31I'll tell you about another little insider deal.
06:34I've heard through the grapevine that President Gorilla Monsoon is working hard
06:38to try to void the contracts of this Diesel and Razor Ramon.
06:41He ain't got a chance.
06:42As a matter of fact, the Razor Ramon is standing by the bad guy.
06:47How do you like what you see tonight in Diesel?
06:51What do you think?
06:52Yeah, man, Big Daddy Cool is doing all right, Chico.
06:59But I think I'm gonna take a closer look.
07:04What does he mean, take a closer look?
07:05He's got a monitor right there.
07:06Hey, if he comes out here now, Marc Merrill's in big trouble.
07:12Welcome back to Raw.
07:12Diesel pounding away on the Wildman, Marc Merrill.
07:15And Diesel has been very dominant so far in this matchup.
07:17I was thinking we'd see Razor Ramon here ringside, but so far, no scope.
07:25My, catched him, turns him over, one, two, and.
07:29I thought he had him.
07:31Man, there's power for you.
07:33You see how quickly the seven-footer got back up and struck that clothesline?
07:39He has amazing agility, this Diesel.
07:42Tremendous intensity as well, and of course, power he is known for.
07:46Big slam.
07:49I think Sable was actually crying over here, look at him.
07:52Nobody home with the elbow smash.
07:54I'm not so sure how much of an asset Sable really is to the Wildman.
07:57He's such a magnificent athlete.
08:01Diesel now, Merrill firing a right hand, but wait a second.
08:04Look who's coming.
08:06Yeah, there he is, the bad guy, Razor Ramon.
08:08Whoa.
08:10Merrill now firing some hard right hands.
08:13Building up a head of steam.
08:15Reversal now.
08:17Merrill, hey, head scissors, what a tremendous maneuver.
08:20Great counter move by the Wildman.
08:23Merrill's got his hands full with this big seven-foot monster.
08:27Boots to the midsection, Kexton with a high knee lift.
08:33Razor Ramon just kind of pacing around out here.
08:36My, there goes Diesel all the way out to the floor.
08:38And now, Merrill going after Diesel, no.
08:44What's he doing?
08:45Coming off the other side.
08:46Look out, Razor.
08:47Somersault planter right on Razor Ramon.
08:49That should be a disqualification.
08:50That's a mistake by Wildman, Mark Merrill.
08:53Why did he do that on Razor Ramon?
08:56Still to come here, not on Raw, Psycho Sid one-on-one as he faces Goldust.
09:02Plus, the real Double J, Jesse James.
09:05You won't believe this.
09:06Wait a second now, Razor Ramon has gotten up into the ring.
09:09Get him, there you go.
09:10Bring the bell.
09:12Come on.
09:13Pound him.
09:15Well, this is really a call for Merrill getting hammered by both these guys.
09:20You never like to see a two-on-one situation.
09:23Come on, Ross, you love these guys.
09:25I think this is great.
09:27I don't condone their actions whatsoever, King.
09:29Huh?
09:31Yeah, wait a minute, here we go, big Danny Cole jackknife.
09:34Sable is crying on the apron.
09:38No, jackknife.
09:42Well, think about how Baruch must feel.
09:45Remember, Baruch and the Wildman, just two weeks from now, pay-per-view.
09:51And Merrill's not gonna be, it looks like, in tip-top shape after that jackknife.
09:57Sable, what could she do?
10:00She's like trapped.
10:02She's watching her man, the Wildman, Mark Merrill,
10:04being beaten to death by those two thugs.
10:07I'll tell you what, you call them thugs, you call them Diesel,
10:10you call them Razor, call them whatever you want to.
10:12But I call them bad news for anybody that steps in the ring with them.
10:17My, this is a bad scene.
10:19Merrill is hurt.
10:20Sable is crying.
10:21We need to get some help out here from Mark Merrill.
10:26Mankind.
10:31My work here is nearly at its end.
10:36As is your existence on this earth.
10:41All that's left to do is to fill this grave.
10:46With your rotting, maggot-infested carcass.
10:51You won't have a nice day.
10:56And you sure won't rest.
11:01You won't have a nice day.
11:06And you sure won't rest in peace.
11:11And you sure won't rest in peace.
11:16And you sure won't rest in peace.
11:21That is going to be my last word to you.
11:27That is going to be unbelievable.
11:32The first ever unsanctioned match in World Wrestling Federation history.
11:35And you fans in the Indianapolis area will have the opportunity to see it live
11:38as it happens at the Market Square Arena.
11:40Yes, indeed.

11:47Call Ticketmaster, go to the box office, make sure you are there.
11:51You will see the first ever Buried Alive match,
11:53a special cemetery constructed on the floor of the Market Square Arena.
11:56While preparing for his matchup later on here on Raw against Goldust,
12:00we've got standing by Psycho Sid.
12:02Do you have anything special to say, Sid, to Goldust?
12:04See, Goldust, it's simple.
12:06Tonight you dance with the devil.
12:08In the game we play, I am the master.
12:11And you will find out, my friend, that I am the ruler.
12:16Plus, still to come, the real Double J.
12:20I can't wait to be alone with my baby tonight.
12:24Just beat your heart out.

14:28Nobody.
14:31Man I can't wait for that two weeks of the night, live right here on Raw.
14:34It's like the return to the NBA of Michael Jordan.
14:38Mr. Perfect back in the ring in the WWF against Hunter Hearst Helmsley
14:43right here live in two weeks.
14:45You're right, Ross, that's gonna be a big deal.
14:48But you know what?
14:49There may be a cheek in the armor of Mr. Perfect.
14:51I heard that 98 mile an hour fastball of his is down to about 85, huh?
14:55What if he's not ready for Hunter Hearst Helmsley?
14:58Well, we will have to wait and see.
14:59We understand we do have Sonny standing by on the phone.
15:02I'm gonna let you know right now that tonight Monday Night Raw is brought to
15:05you by Sony's PlayStation, killer of hopes, smasher of egos.
15:09And Sony's PlayStation also presents In Your House,
15:12buried alive on Sunday, October the 20th on pay-per-view.
15:17Did you say we got Sonny on the phone?
15:18Let me talk to him, come on.
15:19We'll get to Sonny in just one moment.
15:20But right now, earlier tonight,
15:22we had the opportunity to speak to Billy and Bart, the Smoking Guns.
15:25And we wanted to get their thoughts about having to face Owen Hart and
15:27the British Bulldog, a return tag team title match at In Your House.
15:31What about it?
15:32Owen Hart, Bulldog, we're looking forward to getting back with rightfully ours.
15:35That's right, and we'll have the lovely Sonny right by us again.
15:39Hey, let's just worry about getting the title back.
15:42Well, Sonny, the question is,
15:43if the Smoking Guns do regain the WWF Tag Team Championship, will you rejoin them?
15:49Well, you know JR, it's obvious that Billy and Bart are both in love with me.
15:53You know, Bart's play is hard to get.
15:54He tries to be the strong, silent type on television.
15:57And Billy worships the ground that I walk on.
16:00But I'll tell you what.
16:01If they can regain those championship belts,
16:03I just might consider taking them back, because Billy is just too cute to resist.
16:07And we've also got some big news for you regarding Live Wire this Saturday morning
16:11here on USA.
16:12I understand in the studio, joining you live in the studio, will be Ahmed Johnson.
16:18Wait, wait, wait, what did you say, Ahmed Johnson on my show?
16:21Yeah, not on the telephone, but live in the studio taking calls from the fans.
16:25Wait a minute, no, no, no, no, no, this is my show.
16:28I book who's gonna be live in the studio with me on my show.
16:32I understand now, not only do the guns beg for me to come back,
16:36now Ahmed will probably beg for me to be his manager as well.
16:40Well, he's gonna have a rude awakening,
16:42because he'll never have a chance as far as I'm concerned.
16:45I'm gonna need extra security on Live Wire on Saturday,
16:47because if he even lays one hand on me, I'm not gonna be responsible for my actions.
16:52But you know what JR, the one thing I do enjoy, whether it's Ahmed, the guns or
16:56not, I love when men beg for my attention.
17:00Whether it be the guns, Ahmed, or all of the World Wrestling Federation fans that
17:04beg me to answer their faxes and emails on Live Wire every single Saturday.
17:09I just love being begged at, it makes me so happy.
17:13But you know what, all of these fans don't have to wait till Saturday on Live Wire
17:18for me to answer their emails and their faxes.
17:20They can email or fax me all week long.
17:23They can fax at 1-888-WWF-FAX1, or
17:28they can email me at WWF-LIVWIRE at AOL.com.
17:35And beg all you want, people, because I want those questions, and
17:39I'll give you my sweetheart answers.
17:41All right, Sonny, thanks very much.
17:42We'll see you Saturday morning.
17:43Sonny, Sonny, this is the King, I'm begging.
17:45I'll beg you right here in front of everybody.
17:47King Harry, King Harry, I know you beg.
17:49You send me flowers every week, babe.
17:51Sonny.
17:52Thank you very much, Sonny, for joining us.
17:53Wanna apologize to fans for not calling the action while Sonny was on the phone.
17:57But I'm sure if I would have interrupted her,
17:59probably would have raised her ire even more than that Ahmed Johnson announcement.
18:02Right now- I might have slapped a taste out of your mouth myself.
18:04The New Rocker's in with the Smoking Guns.
18:06And Marty Jannetty is now in against Bart Gunn, standing side headlocked.
18:11Bart now showing the power.
18:13Wait a minute, Bart, he ducks over the top.
18:15One, two, could have him.
18:16No, sir.
18:17I actually think the Smoking Guns are gonna be a better tag team without Sonny at
18:20ringside.
18:21What? And they stand a better chance of regaining the tag titles.
18:24Uh-oh.
18:25Inside cradle, to it, almost a pin.
18:27Yeah, you almost had to eat your words there, didn't you, Ross?
18:30Well, I just think that Billy and Bart, if they can stay focused,
18:33will give Owen Hart and the Bulldog a run for their money.
18:36Sonny to me is a distraction.
18:38No way, what could there be better to focus on than Sonny right there at ringside?
18:41Backslide, here we go, one, two, and just a count away.
18:46That would give you that extra little spark of energy to look down there and
18:48see the beautiful Sonny and know that's what you wanna do.
18:51You wanna win for Sonny.
18:53Billy Gunn, the look on his face outside the ring throughout this entire contest
18:57has been one of just disgust and anger.
19:00I think Billy Gunn is obsessed with Sonny.
19:02That's my opinion.
19:04Can you blame him?
19:05I don't know if he and Bart share the same philosophy about Sonny either.
19:09Referee, Jack Doan trying to get in, get a break.
19:13Look out, look out.
19:15Reversal of the Irish whip.
19:17And Billy Gunn got the boot up and now takes Marty down hard with a big clothesline.
19:21The only person in WWF that loves himself more than Sonny is Vince McMahon.
19:26What?
19:27And why did you just bring that out of nowhere, JR?
19:29I mean- It just hit me as I visualized it.
19:32I was, you were speaking to him on the phone Saturday on LiveWire and
19:35all of a sudden you hung up on him.
19:36I was very surprised by that.
19:37What would you have done?
19:39I would have hissed up against if you get a raise.
19:40Look out. You're already doing play by play out here.
19:42It should be my job.
19:44My, Lief catches Bart Gunn outside the ring.
19:46Good strategy from the Rockers.
19:48Well, I will say this, Ross, in your favor,
19:50I've heard that throughout all this investigation,
19:53the only thing they've found so far is that you are, in reality,
19:57the vice president in charge of wrestling administration here in the World Wrestling Federation.
20:01Did you know that, Kevin Kennedy?
20:02No, I did not. I didn't know that.
20:03And it's also that you have a non-negotiable, irrevocable contract.
20:08Long term. I am saying.
20:08Long term.
20:10I love it.
20:11Hey, that's why- Wait, wait, wait.
20:12What about that expensive couch you got, too?
20:15I promote an expensive couch.
20:17That's lonely at the top.
20:19Vice presidents have privileges.
20:20That's a nice deal.
20:21It's lonely at the top, but you do eat better.
20:23Marty now makes the tag.
20:24He and Lief going to try some double teaming here within the count of five.
20:28Double right hands, and Bart Gunn is down hard.
20:31Great opportunity for the new Rockers to get right back into tag team title contention here
20:35with a victory over the Smoking Guns.
20:38Ooh.
20:39I can't wait to hear from the real Double J, Jesse James.
20:42Man, does he have something to say right here tonight.
20:45Two.
20:46Should be very interesting what we hear from the real Double J.
20:49And of course, King, next week you have a little item on your menu.
20:53Oh, yeah.
20:53I guess you're going to tell everybody about the big match that I'm going to be involved
20:56in next week, but I'm not so sure it's going to happen.
20:58What?
20:59You're right.
21:00I'm supposed to be taking on Jake the Snake Roberts right here live on Raw next week,
21:04but, oh my, belly to belly suplex.
21:07Yeah, take a look at that.
21:08I've heard through the grapevine, and like Jim Ross gets all of his news from different
21:13sources, that once again, Jake has fallen off the wagon.
21:16What?
21:17That seems to be popular now among these athletes.
21:19You heard John Daly.
21:20He's taking another drink or two.
21:22Thinks he can get by.
21:23And Jake apparently has done the same thing.
21:24I doubt if Jake will even show up.
21:26I think he'll be too drunk to be here.
21:27One, two, and three.
21:28Oh, I thought we had a pin.
21:30Has Jake pulled a Kelsey Grammer?
21:33I think so.
21:34Well, I'll tell you something.
21:35Right here tonight, ladies and gentlemen, live on the telephone, we'll be talking to
21:38the World Wrestling Federation champion, Shawn Michaels.
21:42I guarantee you, Shawn's got a lot to talk about.
21:44We'll be talking to Shawn Michaels tonight.
21:46Plus, don't forget, Psycho Sid.
21:48This will be a slobber knocker right here tonight against Goldust, one-on-one.
21:53And that one will not be too pretty.
21:56Up and over the top with a double hip toss.
21:59The Rockers have really displayed some good tag team continuity here in this match.
22:03And I cannot say the same for the Smokey Guns.
22:05Look at this.
22:07Look at Leif just on top of Bart.
22:09You know, Jim, you used to live in Atlanta.
22:12I understand Jake Roberts went all the way down to Atlanta during the Olympics.
22:16And was he disappointed when he found out parallel bars wasn't what he thought it was
22:20gonna be?
22:22King, he's had a lot of problems to overcome.
22:24He still battles those demons.
22:26He's licked most of them.
22:27No, he drank most of them.
22:28I'm sorry.
22:30Bart set just a beat too early.
22:31Leif made him pay for it.
22:33And now Cassidy makes the tag, and Marty Jannetty is in.
22:35Bart looking to make the tag.
22:40Boy, what a battle last week.
22:43Oh, look at that, as you see.
22:44What?
22:45Billy Gunn booted Marty Jannetty right in the back.
22:47What are you talking about?
22:48I didn't see anything.
22:49I think Billy Gunn got Marty in the kidneys.
22:52Shades of Ahmed Johnson.
22:53And now Billy Gunn is laying the boots to Marty Jannetty,
22:56thanks to his little assist on the outside.
22:58You guys accuse these Smokin' Guns of stuff they don't do.
23:00Take a look at this, King.
23:02What?
23:03I still didn't see anything.
23:04What?
23:05Double feature evidence playing his day right there.
23:09Billy now making the tag.
23:10Very aggressive here.
23:13Bart Gunn in.
23:15Come on, whip him right in there.
23:16Over here.
23:17There you go, yeah.
23:18Right into the corner.
23:19Oh, watch this.
23:20Watch this!
23:20Oh, my, look out.
23:22A little waltz across Texas by the Smokin' Guns,
23:25who will be looking to regain the tag titles for the fourth time.
23:29Look out!
23:29Oh, nobody home, and Billy Gunn all the way out to the floor.
23:36His back dropped right across the apron.
23:38Take a look at this once again, JR.
23:40Yeah, I like this right here.
23:41Now, come on, look at that.
23:43Nice little waltz across Texas, as we call it.
23:45And right there, good victory move by Marty Jannetty.
23:48And now Billy Gunn is in a pretty tough predicament.
23:51You know, we talked to Sonny earlier.
23:53Sonny's gonna be in Anaheim, California this Sunday night at the Arrowhead Pond.
23:57That's the night after all the WWF superstars will be at a big event in Tacoma, Washington.
24:02That is this Saturday night in Tacoma.
24:05And Leaf is coming in, and he's putting both guns down hard.
24:10Billy's right down out in front of us.
24:12Oh, my, well, wait a second.
24:13Reaches up and grabs the boot.
24:15There you go.
24:16And Bart now makes Leaf pay for it.
24:18Knock that nerd out.
24:20Tag is made.
24:21Billy's going to the top.
24:22And they are setting for the Sidewinder.
24:25Watch out!
24:26Oh, my!
24:29That'll do it.
24:30Two and three.
24:31Great effort by the New Rockers.
24:32But Billy and Bart Gunn are victorious.
24:35Spooky Gunn's also this Sunday to be in that huge spectacular event
24:39in the Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim this Sunday night.
24:44Billy Gunn's still not looking too happy.
24:46Nonetheless, a tremendous victory here at the Sidewinder.
24:48Wow, look at the intervention.
24:49Right, smashed and hit right down into the mat.
24:54Well, fans, Todd Pettengill is yet to come.
24:57Goldust beats Psycho Sid.
24:58Todd Pettengill filed the support on the real Double J.
25:03Three, four.
25:17Sound familiar?
25:18That's the real Double J.
25:20Jesse James being reunited with his real collaborator, Jim Johnston.
25:23They're the duo who should have received credit for the hit song,
25:26With My Baby Tonight.
25:33By now, you've seen and heard the proof that Jeff Jarrett's claims
25:36to have sung With My Baby Tonight were a lie.
25:39Not only was he lip syncing that night,
25:41but Jarrett's entire musical career was a hoax.
25:52It's been almost 15 months since Jarrett slithered away
25:55from the spotlight in shame.
25:57But the questions as to what went on behind the scenes
26:00that night in Nashville have just begun.
26:02For over a year, World Wrestling Federation officials
26:05have been trying to get to the bottom of this scandal.
26:07Thus far, Jeff Jarrett has refused comment.
26:10But now, after 15 months, the real Double J has finally come forward.
26:25They wanted the story, you know, as well as everybody did.
26:28What happened? What's going on here?
26:30They wanted the story and they wanted to know if I was still loyal to Jeff
26:33or if I was still, you know, good friends with Jeff.
26:36Well, I don't hate Jeff Jarrett. I don't.
26:38He took me, he took me further than I had gotten.
26:41But I took him further than he'll ever be.
26:43And that's the truth.
26:45He's not the world's greatest entertainer.
26:51He's not even close to being a good entertainer.
26:53He can't dance. He can't sing.
26:55And like I said, that's not me being cocky.
26:57That's me being honest. He cannot do these things.
26:59And that's not saying that I can, but I think I can.
27:05God gives people talent.
27:07You know, you don't just run out at the Blue Light Special
27:10and buy a voice and buy rhythm.
27:12You don't just do that.
27:14So how did Double J Jeff Jarrett feel
27:16after his so-called live performance that night?
27:19Oh, he felt great. He was on top of the world.
27:21We hadn't yet gotten into the ring against Shawn Michaels.
27:25He had just, this was the tip.
27:26I mean, this was the beginning of the end, actually.
27:30But it was the beginning of his perfect night.
27:33A victory over Shawn Michaels was supposed to cap off
27:36Jeff Jarrett's so-called perfect night.
27:38You watch, he signals to me, the foot, pull the foot.
27:41Well, we've done it a bazillion times.
27:43We beat everybody by doing everything,
27:46double team, because he couldn't do it by himself.
27:49Signals to me, the foot.
27:50Well, I got it. I got it.
27:51I'm cool with that.
27:53So here he comes to shoot Shawn in.
27:55Well, Shawn reverses it and shoots him in.
27:57I pull his foot.
27:58Well, okay, I'll take a little bit of the heat
28:00because I wasn't paying attention to the match.
28:03And so, boom, down goes Jeff Jarrett.
28:06He gets up.
28:07Shawn plays a little chin music, how apropos
28:11for Jeff playing a little Milli Vanilli music earlier.
28:15One, two, three.
28:16Nobody gets up from the super kick.
28:18Next week, Jesse James will tell us exactly
28:20what went on behind the scenes when Jeff Jarrett
28:22ran from the impending scandal.
28:24But Jeff Jarrett, you want to come back?
28:26The real Double J's got a job for you.
28:28Sure, together again.
28:29You want to drive my Lincoln Town car?
28:31You want to tote my bags through the airport?
28:33Come on, Jeff, let's do it.
28:35Road dog.
28:37Well, I'm sure Double J, Jesse James,
28:38will have more to say about that when he's on America Online
28:41tomorrow night at 8 Eastern.
28:42But standing by, preparing for his matchup with Sid
28:45is Goldust.
28:45What about it, Goldust?
28:46Mother, what's the phrase?
28:49Isn't quite herself today.
28:51Psycho 1960.
28:53Psycho Sid.
28:56You're in the wrong place at the very wrong time.
28:59You may rule the world.
29:01But in the end, I will rule you.
29:03I hope you prepared yourself.
29:05That match still to come tonight.
29:08JR has been, if he's not now, still disgruntled.
29:12And he is distorting the facts.
29:14We have Justin from Illinois.
29:15Justin, you are on Live Wire.
29:17Hi.
29:18Hi.
29:18I just want to ask Vince McMahon,
29:20if he knows when Brett McMahon is going to return
29:22to the World Wrestling Federation?
29:23Great question.
29:24We're hopeful that Brett's going to return in Survivor Series.
29:26I have bigger and better things in mind than somebody like Sable.
29:29She looks like a sharp-eyed puppy with all those wrinkles.
29:31It just didn't work out.
29:32Why?
29:33Well, I would suggest it had something to do with
29:36Mr. Turner's business ethics or lack of business ethics.
29:40Ladies and gentlemen, at this time,
29:41I'd like to introduce a man that many consider to be
29:44the uncrowned champion in the World Wrestling Federation,
29:48led by his manager, Jim Cornette.
29:51Please welcome the man they call Vader.
29:57So the man called Vader, Jim Cornette,
29:59coming down for an interview.
30:01Vader, of course, very impressive in his victory
30:03in that tag team matchup last week against Shawn Michaels.
30:06We have been giving word, fans, that Mark Barrow,
30:09the Wild Man, is madder and bruised, but he is okay.
30:13So good news there on the Wild Man.
30:14What's good about that?
30:17Here's what's good.
30:17Take a look at that.
30:18Take a look at that, brother.
30:20Yeah!
30:22Talk about battered and bruised.
30:24That's what Shawn Michaels is.
30:25That's what he's going to be every time he faces this man right here.
30:29You cannot deny Vader is an absolute monster.
30:35I just keep thinking back last week in that tag match.
30:37I mean, Vader just absolutely destroyed him.
30:40Of course, what did Shawn Michaels,
30:41what was he thinking going in there with Jose Lathario as his partner, that old man?
30:44I'm not going to say Jose's old, but Anna Nicole Smith just proposed to him.
30:52Hey, you may do a number on Jim Ross here.
30:54All right.
30:55This could be interesting.
30:56Ladies and gentlemen, just last week-
30:58I got to say one thing first, Jim.
31:00It's the first time I can say this publicly.
31:02Even though we've had our differences, thanks a lot for the help with,
31:05you know what, getting Vader up here and-
31:08What?
31:08What do you mean by that?
31:09Ladies and gentlemen, just last week in tag team action,
31:13we saw Vader defeat Shawn Michaels in the ring with a decisive victory.
31:20And coming up on October 20th in Indianapolis, Indiana at Buried Alive.
31:27It will be Vader one-on-one with Psycho Sid.
31:30And I can tell you two gentlemen that the winner of the matchup in Indianapolis
31:36between this man and Psycho Sid will meet the WWF champion at the Survivor Series.
31:43Wow.
31:43Wait a minute.
31:44Wait a minute.
31:45Why should he have to beat anybody to get a championship match?
31:48He ought to have it already.
31:50You want to know why?
31:51I'll tell you why.
31:52Because what happened last week here on Raw a couple of months ago would have made headlines
31:57all across the world.
31:58Vader beats Shawn.
32:00But now it's a daily habit for Vader.
32:03Because he beats you, Shawn Michaels, at Judo Out, the international incident.
32:07He beats you twice at SummerSlam, and he beats you right here on Raw.
32:11But never when it counts for the title,
32:13because the WWF has protected their merchandising cash cow.
32:18You got Shawn Michaels' pictures on undershorts and beach towels
32:22and everything else to the cover of Playgirl magazine.
32:25Vader wouldn't go there because he's a big, bad man.
32:30So now the WWF is afraid if we got Vader as a champion,
32:34that him and his punchy, unattractive manager will destroy all that merchandising.
32:39Now, he's going to take on Psycho Sid.
32:43So what better way to keep Vader from the title
32:45than to make the winner of that match the number one contender?
32:50Well, I got news for you, Psycho Sid.
32:52At Buried Alive October 20th, you're going to be buried.
32:56You're going to be in your own private hell, because this man ain't psycho.
33:01He just plain don't care.
33:03And one way or another, he's going to take you out, Psycho Sid.
33:07And especially with your own move, the power bomb,
33:11the one you stole from him to begin with.
33:14The bombs will fall in Indianapolis when the irresistible force
33:19meets the immovable object.
33:21And then this man right here is going to Survivor Series.
33:25And nobody can deny him his rightful due and his rightful place.
33:30He's going to be the World Wrestling Federation champion.
33:35I promise you that.
33:38Shawn Michaels will be joining us later on here in the hour on the phone.
33:44I'll tell you, the Vader bomb is awesome, but so is Sid's power bomb.
33:48That's going to be unbelievable.
33:49What a weekend it's going to be when the superstars invade New York.
33:52New York, it's the city that never sleeps.
33:55And you won't even have time to sleep when the biggest superstars in the world
33:58take over the biggest city in the world.
34:01On Saturday, November 16th, it's the annual WWF Hall of Fame banquet
34:05from the Marriott Marquee in Times Square,
34:08where the stars from yesterday meet the stars of today.
34:11Then Sunday, November 17th, it's the biggest pay-per-view event of the fall,
34:16the 1996 WWF Survivor Series, live from Madison Square Garden.
34:21We know these guys can survive the Big Apple.
34:23Can New York survive the WWF Survivor Series weekend?
34:27And we're back on Monday Night Raw.
34:31Here comes Mr. Bob Backlund.
34:34Full-time bomb.
34:35I can't believe he's back already.
34:37You know, just last night, he was up in Connecticut at the big debate between
34:42Clint and Dole when Mr. Bob Backlund was right there.
34:45Hey, JR, you know, maybe you and Vince McMahon could have a big debate.
34:50That would be very interesting.
34:53Look at the selfie coming by his trainer, the former WWF champion, the Iron Sheik.
34:59And what an odd couple, Mr. Backlund and the Iron Sheik-less customer.
35:06Apparently, Mr. Backlund is gonna be joining us.
35:08Don't talk to me when I'm talking to the chameleons, either.
35:12Hey, don't remove me.
35:15Mr. Backlund, please, have a seat.
35:17We wanted to get your comments, your commentary, your thoughts about your man,
35:20The Sultan, as he prepares to face Algo Montoya.
35:23Thank you, sir.
35:24You say you want my comments?
35:26Yes, sir.
35:27Okay.
35:31Well, we're waiting.
35:33Well, anyway, fans, The Sultan prepares for his match.
35:36What an absolutely great contest we have next week here on Raw.
35:40When you'll stop at nothing to defeat an opponent, they call you ruthless.
35:45And if you're vicious, brutal, and revel in causing opponents pain,
35:49they call you Stone Cold.
35:52Now, he's bringing this attitude to the ring when he faces Shawn Michaels,
35:57a man who doesn't know the meaning of quit,
35:59a man who himself has been known to cause a little pain.
36:04Shawn battles Stone Cold.
36:06It's Raw, and it's next week.
36:09Unbelievable non-title matchup, Stone Cold Steve Austin,
36:13one-on-one against Shawn Michaels.
36:15I've been wanting to see that match for a long, long time.
36:17We'll have it for you right here next Monday night on Raw.
36:21Hey, and don't forget about me and poor old Jake, the Drunk Roberts.
36:27You know, if there's any validity to what you said, King, it would be a first.
36:31The Sultan here with Algo Montoya, The Sultan has been very impressive
36:35since debuting in the World Wrestling Federation.
36:37But Algo Montoya shows his quickness up and over the top.
36:40Sultan misses with a clothesline.
36:43Over and around for Algo, tries to roll him up.
36:45Sultan counters with his power, nice dropkick from Algo.
36:47Why don't you shut up and let Bob talk?
36:49I can't hear without my glasses on.
36:52But he's the next WWF Champion.
36:54He's gonna procure the championship from Shawn Michaels
36:58and put morality back into their society.
37:02You got it, Mr. Ross, and don't point your finger at me.
37:06I can't stand that.
37:09I wasn't pointing my finger at you, sir.
37:11Belly to belly suplex from The Sultan.
37:14Don't look at me.
37:18King, you got a comment about Mr. Backlund's eyewear?
37:22Well, obviously, Bob's future is so bright.
37:24Mr. Backlund, Mr. King.
37:26Okay, Mr. Backlund's future is so bright, he's gotta wear sunglasses at night.
37:33No, that's not why I got them on.
37:35Why you got them on?
37:36Oh, my.
37:36Because the WWF has insisted that I wear these.
37:40For what reason would you be wearing sunglasses?
37:42Because the people, the plebeians, don't like me scrutinizing them.
37:47And they want me to cover up my eyes.
37:50Do they help you?
37:51They don't want me to tell them that they shouldn't take drugs anymore.
37:54Do they help in driving, sir?
37:54You got that, or swear at me?
37:57What a clothesline.
37:59You think that I'm still not gonna scrutinize,
38:02because all I gotta do is lift him up,
38:04and I can look you directly in the face
38:07and tell you that you're a weak individual.
38:09And- Wow.
38:11Well, he's gonna be the new champion and make you strong.
38:15Yes.
38:18Wow.
38:19Well, I guess you got that, didn't you?
38:21It was your idea to have him talk, wasn't it, King?
38:24I apologize.
38:26Excuse me, Mr. Backlund.
38:28The Sultan here.
38:30Mr. Backlund, what do you think of that maneuver?
38:32Does she teach him that one?
38:34Well- No comment.
38:35Oh, boy.
38:37Hello there, Mr. Backlund.
38:40King Tappan, make sure he's awake.
38:41He's scrutinizing.
38:43Oh, wow, what a turnbuckle.
38:46What velocity.
38:49Boy, this Sultan is some kind of monster.
38:52Listen to this, man.
38:53It's absolutely incredible.
38:56Look at the Iron Sheik.
38:57He's pretty incredible himself.
38:58Hey, Ross, I got a question for you real quick.
39:00What exactly did Jim Cornette mean when he thanked you for helping him get Vader here?
39:05Uh-oh.
39:06Belly to back one.
39:08Just a one count.
39:08Cornette talked a little bit out of school right there.
39:10I didn't need to be-
39:11Well, that's another story.
39:13I mentioned this yesterday morning on the Sunday Morning Superstars here on the USA Network.
39:18And I might as well tell the rest of the story.
39:20Yeah, might as well.
39:21At least a part of it.
39:21Uh-oh.
39:22There was at least a dozen athletes and a dozen people here.
39:25And I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie.
39:27I'm not gonna lie.
39:28I'm not gonna lie.
39:28I'm not gonna lie.
39:29At least a dozen athletes in the WWF that I have recruited and signed here in the WWF.
39:36And that submission maneuver gains a victory for the Sultan.
39:39A dozen?
39:41At least a dozen.
39:42That you recruited and signed?
39:44Yes, King.
39:46That's part of my job.
39:48What do you think Vice Presidents do?
39:49Have you ever been a Vice President?
39:50I never knew you were the Vice President.
39:52No, I didn't know that.
39:53I didn't brag about it.
39:54And these 12 men and that list is gonna be growing, I can promise you, within the next few weeks.
40:01Uh-oh.
40:04I don't think Mr. Bob Backman knows you're a Vice President either.
40:08We heard earlier from The Undertaker.
40:09Right now, let's listen to Mankind.
40:12Listen to this.
40:12Uncle Paul, I don't want to be buried alive.
40:17You're not going there.
40:19Uncle Paul, I don't want my carcass to rot.
40:23It's not, I promise you.
40:25Uncle Paul, I don't want Mankind to get my blood.
40:30I won't.
40:30This praise is for The Undertaker.
40:35Uncle Paul, this praise is too short for The Undertaker.
40:39It's okay, it's okay.
40:41Hold on, hold on, hold on.
40:47We have a nice day.
40:48Oh, yeah.
40:53Obvious, obvious to me that Mankind now realizes what he might be in for.
41:02What grave danger, no pun intended, JR.
41:04Well, it's 13 days now, just under two weeks on pay-per-view in Indianapolis.
41:09And, folks, you can't be with us in Indianapolis in a market square arena.
41:13We don't pay for people.
41:14Whatever you do, don't miss the first ever Gold Medal Live matchup.
41:18It's not sanctioned for a darn good reason.
41:21Goldust set to go.
41:24You know, Goldust is very, very happy that the bad guy, Razor Ramon, is back in the WWF.
41:30I've heard that from Goldust, as a matter of fact.
41:33I want to get back to this buried alive match.
41:37I mean, they're gonna actually have, I'll tell you what, there's Razor.
41:41They're gonna actually construct a cemetery on the floor of the arena.
41:44That's right.
41:45And somebody's gonna actually be buried in a grave.
41:46There's gonna be a grave six feet deep.
41:48Forget it, forget it.
41:50Forget it.
41:51Even as brave as I am, I would never sign for a match like that.
41:54We'll be back with Psycho Sid against Goldust after the perfect Slam of the Week.
42:00And now, Sony's PlayStation, featuring the hit game Crash Bandicoot,
42:04presents the PlayStation Slam of the Week.
42:08Hunter, you want a piece of me?
42:09I don't think so.
42:10Take a look at this.
42:11That's a perfect flex.
42:13And that's a perfect flex.
42:15And another perfect flex.
42:16Done perfectly.
42:18That's my move, Hunter.
42:19Nobody in the World Wrestling Federation has ever kicked out of a perfect flex.
42:22And you know what, Hunter?
42:23I've got one more left in me, and it's for you.
42:27The Slam of the Week was brought to you by Sony's PlayStation,
42:30featuring the hit game Crash Bandicoot.
42:33You are not ready.
42:35Oh, my, what a reception.
42:42Oh, he looks ready to go.
42:51Psycho Sid got him on their feet.
42:53They're rattling the rafters here tonight overall.
42:58Psycho Sid could well be the next World Wrestling Federation Champion.
43:04Figure if he can defeat Vader in just under two weeks on pay-per-view in Indianapolis,
43:10tonight somebody's gonna be burned alive and then moving on and
43:13becoming victorious in November at the Survivor Series.
43:17You ask me, the only thing he's qualified to be is a bellhop at the Fates Motel.
43:26He's gonna get tested with some gold right here tonight on Raw.
43:30He's asking, who's the man?
43:32I have to think it's you, Psycho Sid.
43:35I understand we're trying to get Shawn Michaels on the phone right now.
43:38We hopefully will be able to speak to the World Wrestling Federation Champion here in just a few
43:42moments.
43:42But what a battle this is going to be for Psycho Sid,
43:45as he's gonna go one-on-one here against Goldust.
43:48Well, never underestimate the athleticism of Goldust.
43:52The old cliche is certainly applicable here.
43:53You can't judge a book by its cover.
43:57Goldust, a two-time Intercontinental Champion.
44:03You hear the response here from Sid, imagine what it's gonna be like.
44:06The Market Square Arena is gonna be rockin' and rollin'.
44:09Oh, October the 20th, it's gonna be great.
44:11Yeah, the only thing about October 20th is that I'm probably sitting at ringside
44:15with Vince McMahon.
44:16Of course, he'll assign himself the play-by-play job, the job that I should have.
44:21Goldust with a quick start and puts Psycho Sid right down with a clothesline.
44:25Yeah, what about this, guys?
44:26All that big talk about Psycho Sid.
44:28That's a good strategy by Goldust.
44:30Goldust should keep Sid grounded.
44:33And now, get him up in the corner, pounding away with hard right hands.
44:40Oh, my.
44:44Uh-oh, what is he doing?
44:45Whoa.
44:47Up on his shoulder.
44:49See, that's a situation where Goldust wasted a little bit of time
44:52with all his theatrics.
44:54Inverted atomic drop into the clothesline.
44:56Goldust is down.
44:57And once again, another big clothesline.
45:00Psycho Sid's gonna try to end this one early, it looks like.
45:02Oh, choke slam.
45:04He's gonna do it.
45:06Oh, now he's set for the powerbomb.
45:09Oh, but Goldust goes to the outside.
45:11I understand now, ladies and gentlemen, we have the World Wrestling Federation champion,
45:15Shawn Michaels, with us on the phone from San Antonio.
45:18And, Shawn, what do you think about the announcement at the Survivor Series?
45:21If you're still WWF champion, you're gonna have to meet Sid or Vader.
45:25Yeah.
45:25Well, that's like asking me if I'd rather get hit over the head by a shovel
45:28or a baseball bat.
45:30You know, the WWF calls me resilient, and I'm real tired right now, guys.
45:34And at Survivor Series, to get past these monsters,
45:36I'm gonna have to be more than resilient.
45:38Yeah. Hey, Shawn Michaels, this is the king.
45:39Why don't you admit it?
45:40You're in a world of trouble.
45:42If it's Vader in your face, he's got your number.
45:44He beat you right here last week on Raw.
45:46And if it's Sid, ooh, ooh, if it's Sid, you think he's your friend now.
45:49Well, I remember when he used to be your friend.
45:51You gave him a day off, and he gave you five powerbombs.
45:54There are no friends when you talk about the WWF title.
45:58And believe me, I already know I'm in a world of trouble.
46:00I was born in a world of trouble, and that's where I'm staying.
46:02And, Shawn, what were you thinking when you signed to meet
46:05Stone Cold Steve Austin right here next Monday night on Raw?
46:09Yeah.
46:10The World Wrestling Federation Champion, HBK,
46:11never claimed to be a brain surgeon.
46:14You go from a shovel to a bat to a buzzsaw.
46:17What am I gonna do?
46:18Beats the hell out of me.
46:19Steve Austin wants to give an ass-whipping.
46:21He's gonna have to give it to me next week,
46:22and I'll take it like I take everybody.
46:25All right, Shawn, thank you very much for being with us.
46:27The WWF Champion, Shawn Michaels, from San Antonio, Texas.
46:30Yeah, best of luck on your busy schedule, Shawn.
46:32Goldust in control here on Psycho Sid.
46:39Put the squeeze on him.
46:41Turn of the neck.
46:43Wait a second.
46:44Here comes James E. Cordae.
46:46Looks like he's making his way over to the announced position here.
46:49Yeah, great.
46:49He's already put his foot in his mouth once tonight.
46:52I think that's enough.
46:56Goldust now.
46:56Fires Psycho Sid up and across with the Power Slam.
47:00One, two, and this match continues.
47:05Welcome back to Raw.
47:06The battle between Goldust and Psycho Sid rages on.
47:09Yes.
47:09What a tremendous contest.
47:12Psycho Sid trying to build some momentum here.
47:15Sid sending Goldust for the ride.
47:16Watch out.
47:17It's a top slam.
47:19It's a top slam.
47:20It could be over.
47:21Jim Cornette, that's what Vader's gonna be facing in just a couple of weeks in your house.
47:25I think it's ludicrous that the man they call Vader has to face this idiot
47:29to get a title shot, Shawn Michaels.
47:31Look.
47:31Oh, no.
47:32He's already beaten the champion.
47:35He shouldn't have to go through this.
47:36Hello, Powerbomb.
47:39Two, and three.
47:42Psycho Sid, top hard fought winner for Goldust tonight.
47:46Yeah, yeah, Vader.
47:47Come on.
47:48Come on, Vader.
47:49Wait a second.
47:51Yeah, he stole that Powerbomb from Vader.
47:53But now he's gonna pay the price, Vader.
47:58And now, Vader, opportunistic.
48:02Yeah, yeah.
48:03Let's see Psycho Sid Powerbomb Vader.
48:05He can't get him up off the ground.
48:07He can't even get his arms around Vader.
48:09Vader's gonna finish Psycho Sid right now.
48:11What's he gonna do?
48:11And in your house, he even takes place.
48:13What's he gonna do, Jimmy?
48:14I don't care.
48:15It's just gonna hurt.
48:16For hurting Bimmy Powerbomb.
48:18He got him.
48:19He got him, Jimmy.
48:20Yeah.
48:21Vader got all of him.
48:23He's left.
48:24Wait.
48:25Oh, no.
48:26Come around, Vader.
48:28I don't believe it.
48:29What's he doing?
48:30Jimmy.
48:30Vader, Powerbomb.
48:35Hello.
48:36Run away.
48:37Run away.
48:38Do something.
48:38Hit him.
48:39Run.
48:40Hit him.
48:40Run.
48:40Hit him and run.
48:45Jimmy.
48:46I can't take it anymore.
48:47I gotta do something.
48:48I'm out of here.
48:50Jimmy.
48:51Sid's gonna chokeslam.
48:52He chokeslammed him.
48:54Psycho Sid is walking tall on Vader.
49:00Cornette's heading for higher ground.
49:02What's gonna happen in Indianapolis?
49:05Oh, what it was gonna be on pay-per-view.
49:12I can't believe it.
