00:00The World Wrestling Federation, for over 50 years the revolutionary force in sports entertainment.
00:12The images of Bret Hart's departure at WrestleMania 12 are still burned in our memories.
00:18For six months, the Hitman has carried the pain of leaving behind his title, his fans,
00:23and his legacy.
00:24Ever since then, rumors have persisted about his future, and tonight, we all very anxiously
00:29await what he has to say.
00:32Perfection is the goal of every superstar, but only one man has lived it.
00:36Tonight, the celebrated return of one of the most revered athletes in the history of the
00:40World Wrestling Federation, the most perfect intercontinental champion of all time, returns
00:45to teach a lesson in humility to a new generation snob.
00:49Two great champions return tonight on Monday Night Raw!
01:15Welcome everyone to Portland, Indiana!
01:18Well, we're just about ready to get underway tonight live on Monday Night Raw!
01:27Take a look at this monster!
01:28This monster, Psycho Zed, on his way to Madison Square Garden at the Survivor Series to attempt
01:36to take away the World Wrestling Federation Championship from Shawn Michaels.
01:41Psycho Zed earning a right just last night in your house during a live.
01:47Well, everyone, Vince McMahon here along with Jerry, the King of Waller, and what about
01:52the Hitman, huh?
01:54Oh, I'm gonna tell you something, man.
01:56In spite of the fact that you're back, tonight may be the greatest Raw in history, because
02:01I anticipate hearing these words come out of the mouth of Bret the Hitman Hart,
02:06I retire, I'm through with wrestling, I'm through with the WWF, I wanna hear it tonight
02:10from the Hitman.
02:12I wouldn't wanna hear that at all, but anything can happen here in the World Wrestling Federation,
02:16there's no question about it.
02:18Look at that man right there.
02:19What an unbelievable athlete.
02:22Yeah, Psycho Zed, he may not necessarily be playing with the full decks of the-
02:26Not necessarily.
02:28But nonetheless, Psycho Zed tonight goes one-on-one with that one individual who I would
02:35suggest claims he's the greatest Hart of them all, the Hitman's brother, Owen Hart.
02:43You got that right, McMahon.
02:44Owen is the greatest Hart of them all.
02:47And here he comes.
02:51Owen Hart on his way to beat single competition here tonight, live from Fort Wayne, Indiana,
02:57being led by Clarence Mason.
02:59And of course, Mason stealing some would say the contract from Jim Cornette.
03:05And indeed, Mason who manages the tag team champions, the British Bulldog and Owen Hart.
03:12However, this is single competition here tonight.
03:14Yeah, never judge a book by its lawyer, McMahon.
03:16I mean, wait a minute now.
03:18Clarence Mason is great.
03:21Whoa, did you see that?
03:23Look at that.
03:24Is it already Halloween?
03:26The Slammy Award winning Owen Hart.
03:31Yes, we are live from Fort Wayne, Indiana.
03:34And of course, everyone awaiting the words of Bret the Hitman Hart.
03:39And how about the perfect return?
03:42Mr. Perfect back in action here tonight.
03:44I'm telling you tonight, October 21st, it's gonna go down in history.
03:49This could be the greatest, it will be the greatest Raw ever.
03:54And listen, this capacity crowd very much behind this monster.
04:01Look at that idiot with that Burger King crown on.
04:03Sid, it was not an upset in defeating Vader last night.
04:10Nonetheless, many individuals surprised and what an unbelievable matchup that was.
04:15Sid and Vader going at it tooth and nail just last night.
04:19What a matchup, my goodness.
04:23Now that's not right.
04:24The man right off the bat, he bounces Owen Hart's head right off the mat cover.
04:27I don't think Owen Hart will be attempting to test the strength and
04:30the power skills of Psycho Sid after that.
04:32Owen Hart, however, attempting to follow in his brother Bret's footsteps
04:37in terms of his rustling acumen.
04:41Come on, Owen.
04:41And again.
04:43Look at that.
04:44There you go.
04:44No.
04:46All the way over the top rope to the outside.
04:51And Sid attempting to dominate Owen Hart.
04:56Wait a minute.
04:57Owen, don't tell me he's gonna quit.
05:00There's no quit in Owen Hart, man.
05:03No, I don't think.
05:06Clarence Mason controlling Owen Hart back to the ringside area.
05:12Or is Owen Hart simply playing possum against Psycho Sid?
05:16Owen Hart, a pretty fair master of psychology.
05:18Look out for the top and soon saw him coming.
05:23Sid now, with Hart, sets him up, off the rope and back, whoa.
05:28And how about that?
05:28Yes, never underestimate the skill, the ability, the agility of Owen Hart.
05:34From the top again and this time a drop, kicking it at massive chest of Psycho Sid.
05:40Sid, back up on his feet, headbutt.
05:42Owen Hart, now look out, here he comes ahead of Sid.
05:45Hold on.
05:46Yes.
05:48And the matchup with Vader last night, no doubt, put a tremendous toll on Psycho Sid.
05:55Vader, the mastodon, all over Psycho Sid this last minute.
05:59We got company.
06:00Hey, hey, hey.
06:00Oh, wait a minute.
06:02Yeah, we got company.
06:03Oh, Sid's got company.
06:05The British Bulldog out here with Psycho Sid.
06:07Hey, a punch right here, look at that.
06:10Sid knocking the Bulldog down.
06:12Referee.
06:14Owen Hart now, look out from behind.
06:17Owen Hart.
06:17No.
06:18Now, Owen Hart takes out the knee of Psycho Sid.
06:22Come on, Ref, get control of this matchup.
06:25Get control of it.
06:25Wow, did you see it?
06:27Well, the World Wrestling Federation Superstar Line is open 24 hours a day,
06:31seven days a week, and open right now.
06:33Just call 1-900-737-4WWF.
06:36And on option six, the Ross Report, good old JR will tell us
06:38why Psycho Sid will be the next World Wrestling Federation Champion.
06:41The call costs just $1.49 a minute.
06:44Kids under 18 must have parents' permission before calling.
06:46You want to call right now.
06:51We are back live, ladies and gentlemen, with Fort Wayne, Indiana, Monday Night Raw.
06:56And Psycho Sid has been pummeled all the way through the ring.
06:59On the outside by Owen Hart, as well as Davey Boy Smith,
07:02the British Bulldog, who is still around the ringside area.
07:04No, no, no.
07:05Look at this.
07:05Yes!
07:08Owen Hart trying to knock the chocks out, literally, from the big man, Psycho Sid.
07:13That's what you gotta do, McMahon, when you get somebody as big as Sid is,
07:16you gotta cut him down to your size.
07:18You do that by taking the legs out of him.
07:20And you have to wonder, Shawn Michaels is watching this matchup, ladies and gentlemen.
07:25He's probably smiling.
07:26Shawn Michaels just might be smiling.
07:28I don't know how he feels about this, but Sid, at this rate,
07:32may not be much of a contender in Madison Square Garden at the Survivor Series.
07:38Owen Hart continuing to batter.
07:40Psycho Sid would help from the outside of the British Bulldog.
07:43Speaking of Madison Square Garden, ladies and gentlemen,
07:46the Survivor Series, of course, on Sunday, November 17.
07:50You want to be there live.
07:52Ticket information, there you see it.
07:54Those of you who want to be right there live in the ringside seat, 212-307-7171.
08:00And, oh my goodness, yes, there's no question, you want to be at Survivor Series.
08:05Look at this, Bulldog hammering away on the knee on the outside.
08:09I love it, McMahon.
08:10That's gonna be Survivor Series, November 17th.
08:12But what about tonight, October 21st, live here on Raw?
08:16It's the Night of Returns.
08:17Indeed, yes.
08:18Bret the Hidden Man Hart returns tonight.
08:20Mr. Perfect returns tonight.
08:22And even you, McMahon, you've returned tonight.
08:24Well, even you have as well,
08:25although maybe a little intoxicated from last week, nonetheless.
08:29Yesterday, it's Monday Night Raw, and we've got Sid who is in trouble.
08:34Sid defeating the Monster Vader just last night,
08:38earning the right to face Shawn Michaels at Survivor Series.
08:41But right now, Owen Hart would help from his co-horter tag team.
08:44Wait a minute.
08:47Get under the canvas.
08:49Sid now comes off and, yeah, no, nobody there.
08:53Yes, more damage, more damage to that leg.
08:55Sharp, no, no, look at it, look at it, wrenching the ankle.
08:59And again, Owen Hart attempting to follow in his brother's foot steps.
09:03What a move.
09:05Owen Hart wrapping up Psycho Sid.
09:09Sid, remember now, taking a tremendous battering from the man they call Vader.
09:14Highly physical matchup just last night.
09:18Just last night in your house, buried alive, which, by the way,
09:22there was an Undertaker sighting earlier here in Fort Wayne.
09:26Who knows the- Unconfirmed, unconfirmed.
09:27Was unconfirmed, but nonetheless, that could happen tonight as well.
09:31The Hitman- No, no, beautiful.
09:33The Hitman, Brad Hart, will finally let us know what his future is if he has one,
09:38or even if it's with the WWF, notwithstanding that.
09:42We'll, of course, see Mr. Puffin return to action in Hunter Hearst Townsley.
09:47And right now, Psycho Sid is having big time problems with Owen Hart.
09:52And you can't believe your eyes, Daniel McMahon.
09:55Oh, wait a minute.
09:55Here's Psycho Sid, who defeated Vader, now being pummeled by Owen Hart.
09:58Oh, wait a minute, that was last night.
10:00Again, the toll that it took on Psycho Sid as well as Vader,
10:04neither individual may never necessarily be the same again.
10:06Well, that's right, that's why I say Sid's not playing with a full deck.
10:10Why would he agree to a match?
10:11Whoa!
10:11Whoa!
10:12Whoa!
10:13Gosh!
10:15A regular phase.
10:16Owen Hart now, from the other side.
10:18Wild swing by Sid, and no, wait a minute.
10:21This is what he got Vader with!
10:23Down to the canvas!
10:26Yes!
10:26The Powerbomb!
10:31Psycho Sid, ready to polish off Owen Hart.
10:34Can he do it with the Powerbomb?
10:37This is reminiscent of last night, but the Sid has the power, and look at this!
10:42The Bulldog comes in from the other side.
10:44The Bulldog clotheslining Sid.
10:48Bulldog all over Psycho Sid disqualification.
10:51Sid trying to fend for himself against two individuals.
10:54Wait a minute!
10:55Here he comes!
10:57Shawn Michaels!
10:58Michaels in the ring, pummeling away!
11:01Michaels coming to the aid of Psycho Sid, and look at him go!
11:05Look at the referee!
11:08Oh!
11:11Look at this!
11:12Shawn Michaels all over the British Bulldog!
11:15And the Bulldog goes for the ride!
11:21How about it?
11:22The two individuals who will compete at the Survivor Series in the Square Charcoal-
11:29As a result of a disqualification, Psycho Sid!
11:36Psycho Sid victorious, and Shawn Michaels coming out.
11:39He could not stand idly by, and watch what was going on!
11:44And that is a sportsman!
11:45That is the WWF Champion!
11:47That is Shawn Michaels!
11:49However, what's going to happen when these two get it on?
11:52Yeah, what's Sid doing right now?
11:56Look at this!
11:59I knew Sid wasn't playing with a full deck, but Shawn Michaels must be a couple of years
12:03short of a six-pack, to even come out here and help the man who's going to try to take
12:07his title from him!
12:08I think they're trying to talk things out here, but I'm not so sure that there's not
12:12a difference of opinion.
12:19All right!
12:22It's all about the WWF title!
12:23He's going to have to do the same for you!
12:25Ladies and gentlemen, they're going to throw friendship!
12:27They're going to throw caution to the wind at the Survivor Series!
12:30They'll give it everything they have against each other!
12:33You want to talk about against each other?
12:35You've got to be talking about buried alive!
12:37You've got to be talking about what happened!
12:39When Mankind went one-on-one against The Phenom, The Undertaker, in an unbelievable,
12:47unforgettable, one-of-a-kind match!
12:50I couldn't believe it, McMahon!
12:51I couldn't believe The Undertaker would sacrifice his body and his soul to try to destroy Mankind!
12:56Indeed!
12:57And there is some of that sacrifice!
12:59A devastating match-up!
13:01They pulled out all the stops!
13:02Oh, it got ugly!
13:03It got gruesome!
13:04It got too gruesome for even Paul to bear!
13:07Yes, and then from there!
13:08Well, the Tombstone Piledriver would do it!
13:11And then The Undertaker would insomerely bring the carcass of Mankind to the graveside area!
13:18And then there was only one thing left to do!
13:21Chokeslam him down six feet under!
13:24The Undertaker, victorious!
13:26And then, covering up the prone Mankind, covering with dirt!
13:33Yeah, McMahon, yes, yes!
13:34But Mankind's was a premature burial!
13:37Because suddenly, out of nowhere, appeared an Executioner!
13:40And as you can see, he smashed the metal blade of a shovel right over the skull of The Undertaker!
13:46Unfortunately, The Undertaker, suffering the ill effect,
13:49as The Executioner jumped into the grave itself,
13:53and pulled Mankind out with the helps of Paul Bearer.
13:57And then, yeah, look!
13:59The unconscious body of The Undertaker was shoved down into the grave,
14:03and the cheering section outnumbered the mourners at Undertaker's graveside,
14:06as Goldust, Justin Hulk, Bradshaw, Crush, and even Hunter Hearst Helmsley,
14:11all joined in the interment.
14:13Unbelievable, ladies and gentlemen, yes, but look what happened!
14:17Oh, yeah, the unthinkable happened!
14:19The Undertaker, ladies and gentlemen, left a signal!
14:22The Undertaker!
14:24The Undertaker is alive!
14:26And as we left you just last night, yes, we knew,
14:30The Undertaker would not rest in peace.
14:33As we said before, an unconfirmed Undertaker sighting here in Fort Wayne earlier today.
14:39You mean he might show up here tonight?
14:41Anything can happen here in the World Wrestling Federation.
14:44Wow, he's gonna show it up, McMahon.
14:46Yeah, well, my goodness, look who's here, folks.
14:50Jim Ross, hopefully your microphone's working a little better than it was last night.
14:53Oh, yeah, me too.
14:54Did you work on that overnight?
14:55No, I think you're not sitting on the mic cord today.
14:57Oh, there's nothing there.
14:58Okay.
14:59You fire that audio, man, you should fire him.
15:01I'll fire him for you.
15:02What is Bret Hart gonna say?
15:04You said you were gonna deliver him.
15:06What's Bret Hart gonna say?
15:07Well, you'll find out because I just got through talking to Bret Hart.
15:10He's here in Fort Wayne.
15:12And, well, you'll be most interested, I think, to hear what he's got to say.
15:15I think everyone is gonna be most interested.
15:18Here we go, ladies and gentlemen, tag team action.
15:20We've got the Smoking Guns, former tag team champions against the Godwin family.
15:26Former tag team champions as well.
15:29Don't go messing with the country boy.
15:31What is that smell?
15:32Well, they got a couple of little critters they're bringing out here.
15:36Weren't you ever in the FFA King?
15:39The what?
15:39Future Farmers of America.
15:41I'm playing that.
15:42I was a proud member of that organization for about four years.
15:45Well, you can bet that the Godwins and perhaps the Guns are headed to the Survivor Series
15:50along with Shawn Michaels and Psycho Sid.
15:52And speaking of it, well, this year, Milton Bradley Karate Fighters presents
15:56the WWF Survivor Series live, November 17, at Madison Square Garden.
16:04And there's, whoa, in your face.
16:08Hello there.
16:09He's got a real live VLT there.
16:11That's a nice slap.
16:12Arkansas Gulash.
16:13I know.
16:14I know, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
16:18He's got a manicure.
16:20He peed on me.
16:21Right.
16:21He what?
16:23He did.
16:24He did number one on your King?
16:27It'll wash out.
16:28Is that Scotch Garnet?
16:30You've been wearing that same jacket.
16:31You've been wearing that same jacket for 20 years.
16:33It's time to get a new one anyway.
16:35Speaking of jackets, I passed on that one when I was at Kmart.
16:37That one you're wearing, Ross.
16:39The pig did his business on you.
16:41I suggest he's showing quite a bit of discretion.
16:44What?
16:46In any event, the Godwins in tag team action.
16:49Things are gonna heat up here, ladies and gentlemen.
16:51The Smoking Guns had an opportunity last night to become tag team champions.
16:56Frankly, JR, they blew it.
16:57Well, they certainly did.
16:58And not a lot of teamwork recently with the two brothers from Texas.
17:02And that's the way a lot of Texans are.
17:03They just, they can't really, a lot of folks from Texas just can't stay together.
17:08They don't have, they don't have a lot of camaraderie.
17:09And I'm surprised at the guns.
17:11I think Sonny was a big detriment to those two guys.
17:14What are you talking about a detriment?
17:16Just because Sonny has shown some affection to Billy and he reciprocated.
17:20And Bart got, he got shunned, if you will.
17:23And he's jealous.
17:24Well, I think Billy should keep his mind on wrestling and not on romance.
17:27Look at Bart.
17:28What girl would go after him?
17:29He couldn't get a date on his tombstone.
17:31Here we go.
17:32Bart locking up with Phineas.
17:35Phineas Godwin, you don't look for too much in the way of scientific wrestling there.
17:39Well, absolutely not.
17:40That's a very good observation there, Vince.
17:42But I hear my sources tell me that the winner of this matchup is gonna be perhaps awarded
17:48a WWF Tag Team Paddle Match with Owen Hart and the British Bulldog.
17:52That's what I hear.
17:53So this is a very big matchup for these two teams.
17:57Phineas and Henry Godwin, accompanied of course by Hillbilly Jim,
18:02attempting to claim the WWF Tag Team Championship once again.
18:09And the same can be said of the Smoking Guns,
18:11although they had the opportunity just last night.
18:13Standing side headlock and pouring it on here.
18:17Bart Gunn, the Hitman Brad Hart.
18:21He's gonna join us any moment, ladies and gentlemen.
18:23He sure is.
18:24And Mr. Perfect's gonna be in action.
18:27And a big, big slam.
18:29Stay with us.
18:30Monday Night Raw continues.
18:34We're back, ladies and gentlemen.
18:35Yes, from Fort Wayne, Indiana.
18:37It's Monday Night Raw, the originator.
18:39We've got right now the Godwins against the Smoking Guns.
18:42And they haven't exactly been smoking as of late.
18:45The Hitman Brad Hart waiting to step right back out here
18:48and tell the world what his future will be.
18:52Mr. Perfect ready to return to the squared circle.
18:54And lock up with Hunter Hurst Helmsley.
18:57All that and more tonight.
18:58Coming off the rope now.
18:59Phineas now.
18:59Look out.
19:00Billy Godwin pulls the top rope down.
19:02Good job, Billy.
19:03That'll really impress Sonny right there.
19:05Who cares about Sonny?
19:06Billy does.
19:06Billy and Bart better worry about winning this matchup.
19:09Billy wants to win so he can impress Sonny.
19:14And Henry Godwin is tough to handle when he gets riled up, that's for sure.
19:18Billy knows how good Sonny kisses.
19:20He can't forget that.
19:21Do you remember one time when Sonny had to kiss Phineas?
19:25You know what Phineas told Sonny after he kissed her?
19:28What was that?
19:29He said, golly, you kiss even better than mom.
19:32One, two, and almost a count of three.
19:34How dare you?
19:35Well, I'm telling you, a bunch of hillbillies,
19:36they got no business in there with guys like the Smoking Guns.
19:40Phineas and Henry Godwin against the Smoking Guns.
19:42Tag was made.
19:43Billy, the legal man.
19:43Look out.
19:44Phineas to the buckle.
19:45Uh-oh.
19:46Here comes the-
19:46Yeah, we got him here, baby.
19:48And no, nobody home.
19:50What?
19:51Nobody home.
19:53Come on, Phineas.
19:55All Phineas has to do is just cover Billy Gunn.
19:59And unfortunately, too much has been taken out of Phineas.
20:03Phineas attempting to tag Hank and he does.
20:07Here we go.
20:07Henry Godwin.
20:08Whoa, you missed-
20:09And Mark missing.
20:10However, right on target.
20:12Big Henry Godwin for the ride.
20:15Look out.
20:16What an elbow right in the sternum.
20:17Henry Godwin's a difference maker.
20:19I'll tell you that.
20:21Henry Godwin in control, hammering away on Bart Gunn.
20:24And the gun's not looking that hot at the moment.
20:26Big power slam.
20:28Come on, ref.
20:28Get in there, Billy Gunn.
20:29Oh, come on.
20:30Disqualified.
20:31I can't wait.
20:32Here we go.
20:33Phineas hammering Billy off to the side.
20:36And now-
20:37Uh-oh.
20:37We could have a little double team action from the Godwins if we're not careful.
20:39Here we go.
20:40Yeah.
20:41Uh-oh.
20:43Look out.
20:43Here comes the Slap Drop.
20:45Here it comes.
20:46Yeah.
20:48One, two.
20:49Yes, a victory for the Godwin family.
20:54No way.
20:55Billy Gunn is almost-
20:57He's almost-
20:59I mean, he's beside himself.
21:01If you look at Billy's face, he can't believe they made another mistake.
21:05They've blown another opportunity here.
21:08All right, there you have it.
21:09Billy Jam, along with the Godwins.
21:12Hey, sir.
21:14Out here celebrating right in front of us.
21:16Godwin family and Billy and Bart are not celebrating, however.
21:19And I would suggest at this rate, neither of their tag team
21:23is likely to make it to the WWF Hall of Fame.
21:26And of course, we're talking about the banquet and
21:28induction ceremony on Saturday, November 16th.
21:40Pat Patterson entered the World Wrestling Federation in 1979
21:44and became the first ever Intercontinental Champion.
21:47In the 80s, Patterson was part of the WWF broadcast team
21:52and then later went on to work in the front office.
21:56Superfly Jimmy Stuka entered the World Wrestling Federation in 1982.
22:00The phenom from the Fiji Islands took the WWF by storm with his high flying tactics.
22:06Superfly's signature move, the splash off the top rope,
22:08or even off the top of a cage, were typical of his spectacular style.
22:13Vincent J. McMahon, already in the Madison Square Garden Hall of Fame,
22:17is known as the father of the WWF and is credited for originating the World Wrestling Federation.
22:23The Hall of Fame is just part of the Survivor Series weekend.
22:26And for ticket information, call Ticketmaster at 212-307-7171.
22:33What a weekend, ladies and gentlemen.
22:35Coming your way, November 16th and 17th,
22:37the Survivor Series, of course, on Sunday the 17th.
22:39And warming up, right, there he is.
22:41Wait a minute, wait a minute.
22:43Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
22:45Look what he did.
22:47Helmsley, I can't believe this.
22:51Perfect, it's injured.
22:53Look at this, however, yet to come.
22:55I mean, as in next.
22:57Prep for Hitman Hart.
22:59What is the Hitman gonna do?
23:01Will he drop a bomb on the World Wrestling Federation?
23:04Stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen.
23:06We're gonna find out.
23:08It's big.
23:10It's back.
23:12And it's coming.
23:13The WWF's Big Bang Boom Tour is exploding with non-stop action and excitement
23:20as it sets to blow the roof off an arena near you.
23:24Tomorrow night, we make our way to the Cincinnati Gardens.
23:26Wednesday, we visit Evansville-Roberts Municipal Stadium.
23:29Thursday, we hit the Prairie Capital Convention Center.
23:31Friday, we blow into the Windy Cities-Rosemont Horizon.
23:34This Saturday, we sail into St. Louis at the Kiel Center.
23:36On Sunday, we close out October at the Show Me Center.
23:39And one week from Friday, we start November with a bang in Richmond.
23:42The World Wrestling Federation is exploding with action.
23:46And you can be at ground zero with the WWF's Big Bang Boom Tour.
23:54Because you bring me up here, you send me back here in the green room
23:57like some jabroni and show half of a match.
24:00We went down in the basement, the famous Stu Hart basement,
24:03and I whipped his a** for 30 minutes.
24:05Put the sharpshooter on him for 10 minutes.
24:08Then Stu came down.
24:09Ah, Steve, let go of Brentley.
24:10So I beat Stu's a**.
24:12All right, Stone Cold continuing the challenge.
24:14Bret the Hitman Hart, what is that answer?
24:16And of course, Farouk on live wire, the injured Farouk, I might say,
24:20on live wire this coming Saturday morning.
24:22The best there is.
24:23Here we go.
24:24The best there was and the best that there ever will be, Bret the Hitman Hart.
24:31This is what we all have awaited.
24:40And I must say, from a personal standpoint,
24:47we all want to know what Bret the Hitman Hart is going to say.
24:53Will he drop a bomb on the World Wrestling Federation tonight?
24:58Will he even show up?
25:00There he is.
25:01There he is.
25:02We are live, ladies and gentlemen.
25:11There's no telling what Bret Hart will say, or for that matter, even do.
25:17Unbelievable personal pressures have been placed on Bret the Hitman Hart from his family,
25:24from his fans, from his friends.
25:26And listen to this reception.
25:32The Hitman Bret Hart.
25:57Bret, I know you have a lot to say.
26:00We're all wondering if Bret Hart's going to retire.
26:05Bret Hart going to come back and answer the challenge of Stone Cold Steve Austin?
26:09Are you going to take a front office position?
26:12Are you going to make movies?
26:15Please tell us.
26:16What's in the future for Bret the Hitman Hart?
26:19And by the way, welcome back.
26:24Well, I missed everybody.
26:29I just want to say that for the past couple of weeks, or maybe a little more,
26:42I've had to deal with a lot of things.
26:46And well, for one, there was a certain rival wrestling organization that
26:54uh, all I can say is they made me a great offer and they dealt with me
27:07with integrity and nothing but an honorable fashion.
27:10And I can't say anything bad about anything that they, uh, and how they represented themselves
27:17or me.
27:17And, uh, I was faced with this incredibly tough dilemma that if I decide to go back
27:25to wrestling, whether I should, in fact, come back to the WWF
27:31or find new adventures somewhere else.
27:49I can't believe this is happening.
27:50I was, uh, it was about that long ago that I said,
27:54these are my words, I think that I, that I'm not greedy for money.
27:58I'm greedy for respect.
28:02And until you actually have to step into my shoes and make that kind of a decision,
28:08when you get offered a great offer and you have to decide which one you're going to take.
28:14And I've done a lot of soul searching.
28:18You know, nobody has any idea how much soul searching I've done over this.
28:23But when it comes right down to it, everything I've ever done
28:27and everything I ever plan on ever doing, I owe it all to my WWF fans.
28:42And I won't be going anywhere.
28:43The WWF, well, I'll be with the WWF forever.
28:48Now I want to address why I left in the first place, you know, people wonder if I left
28:54because maybe I'm, maybe I'm a sore loser.
28:57Maybe I am.
28:59Yeah, without a doubt.
29:06Shawn Michaels, the man who's been around for a long time.
29:08Maybe I am.
29:10Yeah, without a doubt.
29:17Shawn Michaels, the World Wrestling Federation champion.
29:23I want to make something very clear because it might not have seemed like it at the time.
29:30But Shawn Michaels beat me fair and square right in the middle of the ring
29:33and there's no excuses for it.
29:34I might not be real thrilled about it, but I knew when I climbed back through the ropes
29:39after that 60 minute match, I knew what was at stake and I lost and I have no excuse for it.
29:48You know, I, I consider Shawn Michaels my opponent, not my enemy.
29:57But Shawn Michaels, there's just something about you that really moves me.
30:04Bugs me.
30:08How about you that bugs me?
30:11Shawn Michaels, you might be a little younger than I am.
30:16You might be a little more, you might even be a little more popular, popular.
30:25Oh, there's people out there that might think that Shawn Michaels
30:28is even a little bit cuter than I am.
30:35Shawn Michaels is a great wrestler and he's done a great job as champion.
30:40But there's two things that Shawn Michaels will never, ever be.
30:45He will never, ever be as tough as me.
30:52And he will never, ever be as smart as me.
31:01I think Richard Nixon said it best.
31:03Then again, it may be true.
31:04You learn from defeat and you come back and you beat him the next time.
31:12Which is why I've decided to accept the challenge
31:19of the best wrestler in the WWF today.
31:24And in the Survivor Series, I will face Stone Cold Steve Austin.
31:44I might be a little rusty, and maybe I won't be.
31:50But Steve Austin, I want you to know one thing.
31:54Madison Square Garden, it's not a church, but it's holy ground.
32:07And Steve Austin, Stone Cold, we'll see who kicks whose ass in Madison Square Garden.
32:24It's a sickening McMahon.
32:35It's overwhelming, it's what it is.
32:40Since I've been off, I've had a chance to really think about a lot of things.
32:47And I owe everything I got to my fans all around the world.
32:52I got the most incredible fans all over the world,
32:54from Germany to the United States, Canada.
32:57It's an incredible honor and a privilege to have fans like that.
33:02And it's something I take quite seriously about being a role model.
33:09And I think that the one thing that's been missing
33:11in the World Wrestling Federation for about the last five or six months
33:15has been me.
33:16No doubt about it, it's been the nicest six months I've ever seen.
33:26I just want to say,
33:30people ask me, why am I coming back?
33:32Why do I want to come back?
33:33Yeah, why?
33:35It's not that much fun sometimes,
33:38especially if you can afford not to come back and get kicked around and beat up.
33:44It's a tough job and it's a hard way of life.
33:47And I got to go home and spend a lot of time with my family.
33:54There's this one little boy in Canada
34:00that basically worshipped me.
34:04And I was his biggest hero.
34:06And it's something I take an incredible amount of pride in.
34:10And this little boy, one day, he got real sick.
34:14And it didn't take very long, it took just a matter of a few hours.
34:18And this little boy became the sickest little boy in Canada.
34:23And I went to his bedside and I promised this little boy
34:30on his last legs, when they didn't think he would make it through the night,
34:35I promised this little boy that if he would just pull out of that,
34:38if he'd just come through, if he could just kick out,
34:42that I would come out of retirement for him.
34:46And as soon as I said that in his ear, he started to come out of it.
34:59Well, I wish I could tell you I have a happy ending here, but I don't.
35:04Just when we thought this little boy was going to turn the corner, he didn't.
35:10And that little boy passed away.
35:13And that little boy was my nephew.
35:17But the reason that I've decided to come back,
35:22and people can think all they want to, and they can guess that I've come back,
35:27that I planned this out a long time ago, but the fact of the matter is,
35:30from that very day, I promised myself that I would come back.
35:34And I would give wrestling fans and little kids all around the world,
35:38somebody that they can look up to, somebody that doesn't necessarily...
35:49Hey, I can't dance, and I don't pose too well for girly books.
35:55But I am, the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.
35:59And I'm back, thank you very much.
36:07Yes, The Hitman is back, and Mr. Perfect will be back as well,
36:13in action when we return with more of Monday Night Raw.
36:24Monday Night Raw.
36:25The Hitman is back.
36:29Welcome back, everyone, to more Monday Night Raw.
36:32Talk about a nose up in the air.
36:34Hunter Hearst Daisley ready to lock up with Mr. Perfect.
36:38The Perfect returned just a second or two away.
36:42Samurai Ninja.
36:43Unstoppable.
36:44Headstone.
36:45Uncontrollable.
36:46Cyber Fist.
36:47Unbelievable.
36:48Tiger Ninja.
36:49Incomparable.
36:50And now, the Milton Bradley Karate Fighters Holiday Tournament.
36:56Hello, everybody, and welcome to the first annual Milton Bradley Karate Fighters
37:00Holiday Tournament pre-game pairing and selection show.
37:03Just who will be crowned the greatest karate fighter of them all?
37:06I still can't believe I'm not in the tournament.
37:08Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the king was suspended from this year's tournament
37:11for questionable tactics last year.
37:13Wait a minute, I'm still appealing that ruling.
37:15That tape was doctored.
37:17There are four karate fighters to choose from.
37:19There are six sets of interchangeable weapons in each box.
37:22The possibilities are endless.
37:24All right, let's talk about it.
37:25Mr. Backlund has been campaigning against women in the tournament.
37:28However, he'll be taking on Sonny in the very first round.
37:31I'll tell you, Sonny's got a great pair of wrists.
37:33Take Sonny.
37:34Okay, what about the versatile Doc Hendricks against the stunning Sable?
37:38Sable is a known cheater, and Hendricks is a bumbling idiot.
37:41They'll both lose.
37:42Okay, still in the first round,
37:43Okay, still in the first round,
37:44Psycho Sid will have a 21-inch height advantage
37:47and more than 200 pounds when he faces Marlena.
37:50Yeah, but Sid already hears voices.
37:52Wait till he hears this.
37:53And he'll go nuts.
37:54It'll be great.
37:55Marlena will direct another winner.
37:57All right, king, in the final first round matchup,
37:59Hot Farmer Phineas Godwin will battle pre-tournament favorite Mr. Perfect.
38:03Mr. Perfect is perfect, and he'll remain perfect.
38:06Come on, Pen Guild, choose your weapon.
38:07I got it.
38:08Hey, wait a minute.
38:09Don't cheat, don't cheat.
38:10You're a wimp.
38:11Join us next time as the Milton Bradley Karate Fighters
38:14Holiday Tournament continues.
38:19All right, here he comes.
38:22The return of Mr. Perfect.
38:25One-on-one with Hunter Hearst Hilsley,
38:28and Perfect coming down with an entourage.
38:32Coming down with the Wild Man, Mark Merrill,
38:35as well as Sable and Mr. Perfect.
38:40Gorilla Monsoon coming down as well.
38:46I think Hunter Hearst Hilsley can handle all of them.
38:49Look at the look in the eyes of Mr. Perfect.
38:55Perfect seems to be hobbling just a bit.
38:58We can bet that when Hunter rammed that rolling case
39:03into, I guess, his knee, I'm sure it raised his ire somewhat.
39:07Mr. Perfect likely to take Hunter Hearst Hilsley apart.
39:13If he can.
39:16And the Wild Man, Mark Merrill,
39:18credits much of his success to the advice given to him
39:21by his newfound friend.
39:23What's Monsoon getting in the ring for?
39:25I don't know, but Jim Ross here,
39:26gets at the bottom of all this.
39:27JR?
39:28I'll handle this, McMahon.
39:29Let me take care of some business here.
39:31What's going on?
39:32What do you mean, what's going on?
39:34Everybody saw what you did, Hilsley.
39:36You think you pulled the big one off?
39:38You run the card into the back of my leg.
39:40Now I got Gorilla Monsoon out here
39:42talking to the doctors in the back,
39:44telling me I can't wrestle you tonight.
39:46You think you pulled it off?
39:50Based on what the doctor has told me,
39:52I'm not allowing Mr. Perfect to wrestle here tonight.
39:56Wait a minute.
39:57Because he's a chicken.
40:02You got no guts, Perfect?
40:04I'm not allowing him
40:06to wrestle here tonight, period.
40:09Then, what are the presence-
40:10I'll tell you what I've done, Helmsley.
40:13Mark Mero,
40:14the stand-up kind of guy that he is,
40:17and the information that I gave him
40:19that brought him the Intercontinental Championship,
40:22the stand-up guy,
40:24offered to wrestle you
40:26in my place.
40:27Huh?
40:30Look,
40:31I don't have any contract
40:33to wrestle him.
40:34I'm under no obligation.
40:35I want-
40:37I want him.
40:39I'm under no obligation
40:40to wrestle him, Monsoon.
40:41That's right. Get Perfect.
40:42That is exactly correct.
40:43You are not obligated.
40:44You are contracted to wrestle this gentleman.
40:46He is not wrestling here tonight,
40:48so you can leave if you like.
40:49Wait a minute.
40:50You don't have the guts
40:51to wrestle Mero?
40:52No, you'd wrestle him, right?
40:54No problem.
40:55Mero will wrestle you.
40:56I'll tell you what.
40:58The only way I'll wrestle him
41:00is if he puts that on the line.
41:02Put the Intercontinental title on the line
41:04and let's do it.
41:05He'll do that in a heartbeat.
41:06You know what I mean?
41:07What kind of champion are you?
41:08Show him what kind of champion.
41:09Of course he'll wrestle you.
41:10Wait a minute.
41:11It's up to Gorilla Monsoon.
41:12You know, Mr. Perfect,
41:13you helped me out
41:14to win the Intercontinental belt.
41:16I'm gonna return the favor.
41:18Let's get it on!
41:21Not till-
41:22As Gorilla Monsoon
41:23given his permission.
41:24Excuse me, Mr. Perfect.
41:26You cannot sanction this match.
41:28Only I can sanction
41:29an Intercontinental title match.
41:31Are you saying he can't wrestle?
41:33I'm saying if he agrees
41:35to put the title on the line
41:37and you agree to accept the match,
41:39I will officially make it.
41:40If the belt's on the line,
41:42I agree.
41:43The match is made.
41:44Let's do it.
41:45Ah, yes, ladies and gentlemen.
41:46The Intercontinental title
41:48up for grabs.
41:49The Wild Man Mark Mero
41:50one-on-one with Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
41:53Stay tuned.
41:55Wow.
41:57We're back, ladies and gentlemen.
41:58Joining this matchup in progress.
42:00Hunter Hearst Helmsley
42:01taking it to the Wild Man Mark Mero.
42:03Mr. Perfect out here at ringside
42:05on head and back.
42:06Body drop nicely done.
42:08You know, McMahon,
42:09I gotta apologize
42:10to all the fans out there.
42:11My mind was set.
42:12I'm in the best shape of my life.
42:13I was looking forward
42:14to wrestling Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
42:16Everybody saw what happened
42:17in the back.
42:18He shoved that big crater,
42:19that box.
42:20It's really unfortunate.
42:21No doubt about that.
42:23I mean, I have been working
42:24out so hard.
42:25I'm in the best shape
42:26of my life.
42:27Hunter Helmsley pulled
42:28one off on Mr. Perfect
42:29tonight.
42:30But believe me,
42:31Mr. Perfect always
42:32gets the last laugh.
42:34And Mr. Perfect now
42:35looking on as the Wild Man
42:36Mark Mero attempting
42:37to successfully defend
42:38the Intercontinental Championship.
42:40I've got all the confidence
42:41in the world in Mark Mero.
42:43As he did just last night,
42:44by the way,
42:45against Goldust.
42:46What a matchup that was.
42:47It was to have been Farouk
42:48who has been injured.
42:50Injured at the hands
42:51of Ahmed Johnson,
42:52who by the way,
42:53apparently has been
42:54temporarily suspended
42:55by Gorilla Monsoon.
42:57More on that
42:59this coming Saturday
43:00morning on LiveWire.
43:02Look out!
43:03Look at Helmsley.
43:04We know Wild Man
43:05will take it.
43:06Can you believe
43:07what he did?
43:08Whoa!
43:10Sable
43:11just slapped
43:12Hunter Hurst
43:13with a heart rate hack.
43:16Look at this.
43:17A punch right in the chest
43:18of Wild Man Mark Mero
43:19with Hunter Hurst Helmsley.
43:21You don't mess with
43:22Mark Mero's ladies.
43:24You know, I can remember
43:25a time when she used
43:26to be Hunter's lady.
43:28Matter of fact,
43:29Hunter Hurst Helmsley
43:30did not bring his
43:31normal escort
43:32to ringside.
43:33Probably because you
43:34were going to be
43:35in attendance.
43:36Look at this.
43:37Over the top.
43:38One, two.
43:39Mark Mero,
43:40what a great wrestler.
43:41What a stand up
43:42kind of guy.
43:43Get out of there, Mark.
43:44Whoa!
43:45He got out of there
43:46all right the hard way.
43:47And a backslide
43:48coming up
43:49if he can get it.
43:50No, Hunter,
43:51come on.
43:52One, two.
43:53Mark Mero definitely
43:54has what it takes
43:55to get out of the ring
43:56right now.
43:57Uh-oh, look at this.
43:58And, oh, no.
43:59I'm sorry, Perfect,
44:00but I gotta disagree with you.
44:01I think you made
44:02a less than perfect decision
44:03when you talked
44:04Mark Mero into
44:05putting that title
44:06on the line.
44:07Hunter Hurst Helmsley
44:08is gonna beat him.
44:09Well, some of us
44:10have friends here
44:11in the World Wrestling
44:12Federation, King.
44:13Unlike you,
44:14you have no friends.
44:15Who needs them?
44:16All right,
44:17in the event
44:18you just joined us,
44:19ladies and gentlemen,
44:20Mr. Perfect injured
44:21earlier on
44:22in the locker room area
44:23by Hunter Hurst Helmsley.

44:34Hunter Hurst Helmsley
44:35looking down at Sable.
44:36I wish he'd go up there
44:37and see that.
44:38He better pay attention.
44:39Hunter Hurst Helmsley
44:40first feasted his eyes
44:41on Sable
44:42at last year's
44:43WrestleMania.
44:44Look out.
44:45Oh.
44:46Wow.
44:47That was perfectly
44:48executed.
44:49Start with that,
44:50King.
44:51There you go.
44:52Hunter Hurst Helmsley
44:53trying to figure a way
44:54to defeat
44:55the Wild Man Mark Mero
44:56and Goldust
44:57unquestionably
44:58just last night
44:59took the Wild Man
45:00to the limit.
45:01I am surprised
45:02Wild Man, uh-oh.
45:03Wild Man Mark Mero
45:04accepted
45:05this challenge.
45:06One, two.
45:07You know, McMahon,
45:08it's like the first time
45:09since I've been in wrestling
45:10that I really feel bad
45:11about not being out there
45:12and being able to perform
45:13in front of all these
45:14great fans.
45:15I guess so.
45:16Let me just say this, Perfect.
45:17If I'd promised the world
45:18that I was gonna make
45:19my big return,
45:20I'd have to have
45:21my leg broken.
45:22I would have to be
45:23protruding through the skin
45:24before I would
45:25back out of it.
45:26You're a big talker
45:27now, King.
45:28How bad
45:29is your leg there?
45:30I really believe
45:31I could have
45:32went out and wrestled,
45:33but the doctor said
45:34I need an MRI
45:35and the MRI
45:36has to take place
45:37tomorrow.
45:38No, it's not.
45:39No, it's not.
45:40That was close.
45:41And a clothesline
45:42by Hunter Hurst Helmsley.
45:43Hunter Hurst Helmsley
45:44with a cover on
45:45to it.
45:46You champion.
45:47A number of near falls.
45:48Hunter Hurst Helmsley
45:49with momentum.
45:50Can he keep it?
45:51We'll find out.
45:52No doubt,
45:53Mark Merrow is doing
45:54a great job.
45:55In fact,
45:56he's almost perfect.
45:57That was a great move.
45:58Put him away, Hunter.
45:59One, two, he got him.
46:00No, he didn't.
46:01No, he didn't.
46:02What a matchup.
46:03This has been
46:04all the way
46:05through the break seesaw
46:06matchup nonetheless.
46:07The Wildman
46:08has the momentum.
46:09Wildman now
46:10with the right hand.
46:11Hunter Hurst Helmsley
46:12in the corner.
46:13Look at the Wildman
46:14put his punches together.
46:15Helmsley for the ride
46:16to the buckle
46:17and up.
46:18Uh-oh, what's that?
46:19Uh-oh.
46:20Boom.
46:21Come on, drop.
46:22Oh, here we go.

46:24Don't look at the people.
46:25Go for it.
46:26Go for it, Merrow.
46:27Here we go.
46:28That's a wild thing.
46:29The most devastating
46:30maneuver many would say
46:31in all the WWF.
46:32You're talking about a-
46:33Oh, my goodness.
46:34Terrific.
46:35Did you see that?
46:36Did you see that, McMahon?
46:37He pushed the referee
46:38in the ropes.
46:39That's solid.
46:40I can't believe
46:41Hunter Hurst Helmsley
46:42shoving the official
46:43in the ropes.
46:44Wildman lost his balance
46:45and underpinned
46:46the referee.
46:47He's got to be
46:48Wildman lost his balance
46:49and unfortunately
46:50he's going to go
46:51for the ride.
46:52Yes.

46:54Oh.
46:55Great move.

47:02No, no, no.
47:03Did he get him?
47:04Did he?
47:05Yes, he did.
47:06What a matchup.
47:07No, he's just two.
