SportsTranscript
00:00As you can see, Vince, I'm standing here live at Pamela Anderson's dressing room trying
00:04to find out where she is.
00:06The word is, her and Shawn Michaels had a big disagreement.
00:08She was very upset, very distressed, very distraught, so she had to leave the building.
00:12Nowhere to be found.
00:13I'm trying to find her.
00:14Anybody can help me?
00:15Hey!
00:16Steve McMichaels.
00:17How are you, buddy?
00:18How you doing, baby?
00:19How you doing?
00:20Have you heard anything about Pamela Anderson?
00:21Oh, I'm sure you, big boy.
00:22You'll be able to find her on your own.
00:23But let me tell you one thing.
00:25I'm looking for this comic character.
00:26Where is he at?
00:27He calling me a cream puff?
00:29You're going to get yours again tonight, baby doll.
00:32Oh, yeah.
00:33How about some of your friends here?
00:34Let me tell you something, King Kong Bundy, you've been telling people you're looking
00:37for me.
00:38I'm right here, baby.
00:39Standing right here.
00:40We right here.
00:41If you want us, come and get us.
00:42You hear that?
00:43Come and get them.
00:44Nikolai Volkov, you got to leave the locker room if you want me, baby.
00:48You can't stay in there scared like a little chump.
00:50Come and get me.
00:51We're right here.
00:52Anybody see the Cigar Store Indian around?
00:54Tatanka Toy or Tatanka something like that.
00:57I heard he's looking for me.
00:58I ain't hard to find.
01:00We're right here.
01:01Ready to roll.
01:02Good luck tonight, guys.
01:03All right.
01:04All pro team, ladies and gentlemen.
01:05What else can I find?
01:06Let me see.
01:07What the hell is going on in here?
01:08Vince?
01:09Yeah, he's lost.
01:10Hey, that's Bob Backlund.
01:11Hey, Jonathan Taylor, how you doing?
01:12Wait a minute.
01:13How could you guys play chess at a time like this?
01:14Have you heard?
01:15Have you heard that Pamela Anderson is missing?
01:16Bob?
01:17What's the meaning of this intrusion?
01:18That's what's wrong with America today.
01:20You people with cameras.
01:21You think you can shoot on anyone at any time?
01:22Bob, I'm sorry.
01:23I was just trying to find out about Pamela Anderson.
01:24She's been missing.
01:25Sorry to bother.
01:26Who?
01:27Pamela Anderson.
01:28Who's Pamela Anderson?
01:29Oh, my goodness.
01:30Excuse me, Mr. Backlund.
01:31Check and made.
01:33That's what's wrong with so many people.
01:34I'm sorry.
01:35I'm sorry.
01:36I'm sorry.
01:37I'm sorry.
01:38I'm sorry.
01:39I'm sorry.
01:40I'm sorry.
01:41I'm sorry.
01:42I'm sorry.
01:43I'm sorry.
01:44I'm sorry.
01:45I'm sorry.
01:46I'm sorry.
01:47I'm sorry.
01:48That's what's wrong with society today!
01:50All these young people taking advantage of their elders.
01:53And showing no respect!
01:56Who's the thirty-fourth president of the United States?
01:58Isenhower.
02:01What's the capital of Andorra?
02:04Tegucigalpa.
02:07Who's the chief justice of the United States Supreme Court?
02:09William Rehnquist.
02:12Huh?
02:13That's what's wrong with the world!
02:15They think they know it all!
02:18He's pretty upset, Bob Backlund, very distressed.
02:22Anyways, congratulations there, buddy.
02:25Nice job.
02:26Okay, Nick, thanks for joining us.
02:28And, Nick, John.
02:30Ladies and gentlemen, this is a special submission match.
02:36In which the loser of this match will verify
02:41his submission by saying the words, I quit on the microphone.
02:49And for this contest, the World Wrestling Federation
02:53has appointed a special referee.
02:58Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the one,
03:04the only, Roddy, Roddy Piper.
03:08Well, if anybody knows anything about
03:13submission, it would be Roddy Roddy Piper.
03:19There's the Hot Rod himself.
03:22Do you remember Hot Rod?
03:24Yeah, I remember him real well.
03:26I can't stand him.
03:27Look at that smile, I'd like to slap the face out of his mouth.
03:30Wipe that silly grin off his face.
03:33This is not fair, him being the referee.
03:35Roddy Roddy Piper.
03:37Now he's fooled so many people for so many years.
03:45What do you mean by that?
03:46Why these people look at him, they're standing up, they're going nuts.
03:48They think he's really something.
03:50He is something.
03:51Anybody that wears a dress is something, all right?
03:55That's a kilt.
03:56A what?
03:58Roddy Roddy Piper, one of the long time superstars.
04:01One of the favorites by the fans all over the world.
04:05All right.
04:12And Hot Rod wants to get this one underway.
04:16Introducing first, from Princeton, Minnesota,
04:21weighing 234 pounds, Mr. Bob McClung.
04:26Yes.
04:27How about that, he was defeated.
04:35I wonder if that's an omen.
04:36Defeated by Nicholas Turturro in that chess match prior to this match.
04:41Jonathan Taylor Thomas, runner, as Nicholas looked on to see Mr.
04:46Backlund, he said, that's what's wrong with America.
04:50What's wrong is he lost.
04:52I just want to say this.
04:54I know that Bob Backlund is a true role model.
04:56You know, Charles Barkley goes around saying he's not a role model.
04:59But Bob Backlund is, and I'm sure out of the goodness of his heart,
05:02he let that poor little kid win that.
05:04You think so?
05:04Well, sure, he didn't want to destroy that little kid's hopes and
05:07ambitions at such a young age.
05:09He wants to make him feel good about himself.
05:11Uh-huh.
05:13Bob Backlund, a two-time World Wrestling Federation Champion, but
05:17watch this and listen to this.
05:19Here is your winner, from Calgary,
05:24Alberta, Canada, weighing 234 pounds,
05:29Brock Lesnar.
05:31And the winner, Brock Lesnar.
05:36Can you hear me?
05:39Not very loud.
05:41Ladies and gentlemen, there's only one, McMahon Reinhardt.
05:46I can't hear a word you're saying.
05:50McMahon, the roof is coming off of this place.
05:52Let's say McMahon versus Bob Backlund.
06:00In a matchup, if one of these two men will say the words they've never said before,
06:05I will.
06:06The excellence of execution.
06:13The Hitman,
06:18Reinhardt,
06:23ready to get this
06:28matchup underway.
06:35Stepping to the outside, and
06:40the Sunglasses go on.
06:44One very, very lucky youngster.
06:47No pitfalls in this matchup, ladies and gentlemen.
06:55Again, there's no count out, no disqualification.
06:59It is simply the first man who says the words.
07:03I quit.
07:04The first man who will surrender.
07:06The Hitman, Reinhardt, preparing for the matchup.
07:11Here we go.
07:14Brett hammering away on the two-time former champion.
07:24Who lives just in the shadow of Hartford, Connecticut in Glastonbury.
07:29And based on the ovation that we certainly heard and saw.
07:34Yeah, he's probably thinking about moving.
07:36I beg your pardon?
07:37Thinking about moving, and I don't blame him.
07:38Yeah.
07:39The Hitman, a favorite all over the world.
07:43Here we go, sharpshooter.
07:44No, not already, no way.
07:46Why not?
07:47Stepping over, trying to get.
07:48No, can't quite get him on it.
07:52And the Hitman continues.
07:53Two of my least favorite people in the entire world in that ring right now.
07:58The Hitman- What did you say?
07:59And, get that out of his face.
08:02And Roddy Piper.
08:03Do you know what?
08:05I've been doing my homework, McMahon.
08:07Do you remember WrestleMania VIII?
08:10What about it?
08:11Well, it was WrestleMania VIII, where Brett, the Hitman Hart,
08:14defeated somebody to become the Intercontinental Champion.
08:17You know who it was he beat?
08:18Wait a minute, let's step, wait a minute.
08:19What did you say?
08:21No!
08:22And again, this is not likely to be the normal scientific matchup
08:27that we have seen the Hitman, Brett Hart, be so excited.
08:30I'm asking you a question, who did Hitman beat at WrestleMania VIII?
08:33The British Bulldog.
08:35What?
08:35Right?
08:36Wrong.
08:37Sorry.
08:37He beat Rowdy Roddy Piper.
08:39As a matter of fact, he did.
08:41That's right.
08:42Bob Backlund back in.
08:43What did you say?
08:44Can't say anything.
08:52Media from all over the world, ladies and gentlemen, here, and
08:54maybe the Sharpshooter now.
08:56Stepping over and, yes!
08:59No, no, no.
09:01That's twice Bob Backlund has been able to escape the Sharpshooter.
09:06Have you ever seen anybody do that before?
09:08Our German announcer's on hand.
09:09Wait a minute, let's stay with this Sharpshooter, but that's a figure four.
09:12What do you say?
09:14Figure four.
09:16What do you say?
09:19I think Piper's hitting him with that microphone.
09:21Stop it.
09:21He is not.
09:23Backlund.
09:24No.
09:28No, he's not gonna submit.
09:29I cannot believe the audacity and the gall of Bret the Hitman Hart.
09:33First he stole the Sharpshooter from his brother Owen, and
09:36now he stole Double J's figure four leg lock.
09:38And now the hold has been reversed.
09:40Bob Backlund reversing the hold.
09:44No! And both men go and get their robes.
09:45There we go.
09:47Our German announcer's on hand as well, ladies and gentlemen.
09:51Karsten Schaefer, guter Sack.
09:54Are those guys on TV right now in Germany?
10:00Of course, and take a look, ladies and gentlemen.
10:03Bret Hart is back in control.
10:07Those guys have the perfect face for radio.
10:12Not a very nice thing you said.
10:13Backlund, what do you say?
10:15No!
10:17I'm not prejudiced, McMahon, like that guy right there.
10:21I hate everybody equally.
10:23I beg your pardon?
10:23What do you mean by that?
10:25I said I'm not prejudiced like he is against unfortunate Japanese individuals.
10:30Backlund, no!
10:32That was paired up some time ago, as you will recall, by the Japanese media itself.
10:36Giving the Hitman Bret Hart a very special award, and look at this.
10:40Backlund pushing that chin back, and rowdy, rowdy Piper.
10:44I think- Piper phone in hand.
10:45Backlund, no!
10:47Hey, that Piper's starting to get on my nerves, and
10:49I think Yokozuna made a little statement about that tonight.
10:51By teaming with Owen instead of Bret, wouldn't you say?
10:54He made a statement, all right, that's for sure.
10:56That's right.
10:59Ooh, it's great.
11:02And the Hitman Bret Hart focusing on the legs of Bob Backlund.
11:06Backlund, no!
11:07And Bob Backlund.
11:08Huh?
11:13He's an imbecile, you know it?
11:15Who's that, Bob Backlund?
11:16No.
11:17That did it, McMahon.
11:17I'm talking about Piper.
11:19Yes.
11:21Rowdy Piper's certainly no stranger to the microphone.
11:24He's trying to give him a double J nose right there.
11:26Piper's pits, and look at this.
11:29Now Bob Backlund.
11:32Again, no disqualification in this type matchup.
11:36It was Bob Backlund who defeated the Hitman Bret Hart.
11:39What?
11:39What is?
11:41With some help unquestionably from Bret's brother Owen.
11:47Uh-oh.
11:48And here it comes.
11:49I'm telling you.
11:50No, no.
11:51There may be some animosity still from WrestleMania VIII between Hart and Piper.
11:59Bob Backlund with the Hitman Bret Hart and, goodness, unbelievable, what an impact.
12:05Go ahead and grab that microphone, Bret.
12:07What did he say?
12:09What did he say?
12:09And the cross-face chicken wing.
12:11Backlund attempting to apply the cross-face chicken wing.
12:14No.
12:16But Backlund drives him down nonetheless.
12:20This is great.
12:21You saw Bret Hart working on Backlund's legs.
12:23Now you see Backlund trying to set up Bret Hart for
12:26the chicken wing by working on the shoulder and the arm.
12:28Arm bar takedown a moment ago.
12:30Bob Backlund now, chicken winging.
12:32Hammerlock.
12:33Get the microphone.
12:34I think he said it.
12:35Hart, no.
12:40I think it's gonna take a great deal more than that particular hold to get
12:44the Hitman Bret Hart to say, I quit.
12:46Although, again, giving credit where it's due.
12:48Boom. My goodness.
12:49We've never heard Bob Backlund say those words, either.
12:52Of course not, and you never will.
12:53And here he comes.
12:54No, give me the cross-face.
12:56No, he drove him down again.
12:59Hell no.
13:00What?
13:04That was an old.
13:07And Bob Backlund, here in his hometown, so to speak.
13:12Although, this is not a hometown crowd for Bob Backlund.
13:15Backlund hoping to put the cross-face chicken wing on Bret Hart.
13:23Hoping to have Bret submit.
13:26And if anyone can do it to the Hitman, it would be Bob Backlund.
13:30In terms of scientific knowledge and
13:32scientific skill, I would suggest they are just about equal, wouldn't you?
13:36You gotta be kidding me, McMahon.
13:37No, I'm not.
13:38The scientific skills and abilities of Mr.
13:41Bob Backlund so far exceed those of Bret, the Hitman, Hart, it's pathetic.
13:45No.
13:46Bob Backlund, a former National Collegiate Champion in his early days in college.
13:53And of course, the Hitman comes from a wrestling background.
13:56All of his brothers were wrestlers.
13:58His dad went into now, still the answer's no.
14:03Yeah, but his dad wrestled so long ago.
14:05You know what, I broke into a pyramid not long ago.
14:07Look at this.
14:08And on the wall, there was a picture of Stu Hart with a headlock on King Tut.
14:12That's how long ago he wrestled.
14:16And Bret now, back in control.
14:20Watch it, Bob.
14:21Bret Hart with Bob Backlund.
14:22Goodness.
14:24What did you say?
14:27Bret Hart going up now.
14:29And Bret, and a cross, and again, no pinfall.
14:33He's setting up for the sharpshooter.
14:35Those are his two maneuvers he uses right before the sharpshooter.
14:39The Hitman now, yes, trying to get him over.
14:42Trying to get the sharpshooter on Bob Backlund, and yes, he got him.
14:45Look at Backlund.
14:47He is a master.
14:49Backlund had to get to the ropes.
14:50That was a desperation maneuver on the part of Bob Backlund.
14:52What is Piper doing?
14:53He gave Backlund a knee drop in the stomach.
14:55He did not.
14:57He says, wrestle both men back to their feet.
15:00And Bret Hart hammering away on Bob Backlund.
15:02Backlund now, for the ride to the- Boom.
15:05Boom.
15:06My goodness.
15:08Get that microphone over there.
15:10If he can talk- That could do it, Hart.
15:14That cross-face chicken wing is applied now.
15:16Bret Munez, any alternative, you have to surrender.
15:20Here it comes.
15:20Bob Backlund, the broken cross-face chicken wing on an injured shoulder of Bret Hart.
15:31If he didn't separate it then, Bob Backlund's fixin' to do it for him now.
15:35Got him, got him, got him, got him.
15:37Cinched in.
15:39Come on, Bret.
15:40Bret has the rope.
15:41Merkin trying to pull him up.
15:43Bret has the rope.
15:45In, now, it's gonna be over.
15:48It's over.
15:50Merkin trying to take him down.
15:52He can't quite hook him.
15:54Come on, Bob, cinch it up.
15:58Merkin can't quite cinch it all the way in.
16:01What did you say?
16:02No.
16:02If he gets Bret down on the canvas, it'll be history.
16:06He doesn't really have it all the way on him yet.
16:08He's gotta, no.
16:09Hey, look at, reversal.
16:10What did you say?
16:15I cannot believe it.
16:16The throne hasn't cinched in.
16:21Did he say it?
16:22What did you say?
16:25Did he say it?
16:26What did you say?
16:31Down he goes.
16:35Back down.
16:36Get me a rope.
16:37Did he say it?
16:38Did he say it?
16:46No.
16:47What?
16:48He, what did he?
16:53Here is your winner,
16:57Randy Piper.
17:02I did not hear him say I quit, McMahon.
17:06Roddy Piper did.
17:09I cannot believe Bret the Hitman Hart applied a cross-face chicken wing to
17:14Bob Backlund.
17:16Beat him with his own home.
17:18He should be ashamed of himself.
17:20A tremendous victory for
17:26Bret the Hitman Hart.
17:32And ladies and gentlemen,
17:38the celebration continues.
17:45With Bret the Hitman Hart, a longtime favorite for
17:49fans all over the World Wrestling Federation.
17:53And finally, Bret Hart has settled his score with Bob Backlund once and for all.
17:59Let's take you over to Jim Ross.
18:10Okay, Miz, Bob, I never thought I'd ever hear you say the words I quit.
18:15You said I quit, Bob.
18:17Bob, what do you have to say about it?
18:22I saw a light.
18:30Did you see the light?
18:34He says he saw the light.
18:39He was looking at the lights.
18:40I don't know what it meant.
18:42Miz, back to you.
18:44A most unusual, a most eccentric individual.
18:47Standing by now, ladies and gentlemen,
18:50with perhaps more information on the presence of Pamela Anderson.
