WWF Raw Is War (December 27, 1999)
Transcript
00:00We're back live, ladies and gentlemen, Mankind.
00:04Where's he going now?
00:05Well, he's been saying his goodbyes to everybody.
00:07He's going into the production truck.
00:09A lot of his friends are there working here.
00:11Just wanted to thank you.
00:13You guys don't get a whole lot of credit for what you do in the truck, but I appreciate it.
00:18You're making me look good in replays and camera shots.
00:23So I want to say it's been a pleasure.
00:25You guys are like the magic to this show.
00:28So I'll be gone, but keep up the good work.
00:31Thanks, Mick.
00:32Kevin.
00:33Timmy.
00:34Good job in there.
00:35Great job, Mick.
00:36Doug.
00:37Won't see you on the plane anymore.
00:38Take care, Mick.
00:39We'll talk to you, Mick.
00:40Goodbye, guys.
00:41Take care, Mick.
00:42Carry on.
00:43Man, this has been a tragic night.
00:45Mankind has lost his job thanks to the McMahon-Helmsman error.
00:50It's not going to be the same around here, King, without Mankind.
00:52You know that as well as I do.
00:55That's not going to be the same.
00:56It may be better.
00:57I know you're all upset, but I don't think so.
00:59I don't think it could be any better.
01:03I mean, his family had to sit home and watch this.
01:06There's nothing fair about that.
01:07There's nothing good about that.
01:09And here comes X-Pac.
01:11The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:14Making his way to the ring, from Minneapolis, Minnesota,
01:18weighing in at 222 pounds, X-Pac.
01:22I can't help but wonder what would have happened
01:24if X-Pac had to face Kane tonight.
01:27Not a good question.
01:28That's not going to be the case.
01:29X-Pac's going to take on Jeff Hardy here.
01:31Kane has tests tonight.
01:34And that's a story in itself altogether.
01:37Wow.
01:38I don't know.
01:39A lot of unanswered questions here, King.
01:41Well, tonight, Raw is brought to you by WWEF, The Music, Volume 4.
01:45Get the latest and greatest official WWEF Superstar entrance themes
01:49now available at all Target stores.
01:51And by Snickers.
01:52Hungry?
01:53Grab a Snickers.
01:54And by Tomb Raider.
01:55The last revelation from Eidos Interactive.
02:03Yeah, you know what?
02:04Wow.
02:05What an ovation here.
02:06Oh, baby.
02:07And his brother, Matt, weighing in at 217 pounds, Jeff Hardy.
02:15Woo-hoo, baby.
02:16Well, Triple H and DX did the damage to the face of Matt Hardy.
02:21Matt Hardy, the broken nose and the broken cheekbone,
02:24will be on the shelf for a little while.
02:26But his brother, Jeff, is here to try to gain a measure of retribution
02:30against X-Pac.
02:31You got to admit, DX has really wreaked some havoc, hasn't he?
02:34I mean, they broke Tess' nose.
02:35They broke this guy's nose.
02:37They've got rid of Mick Foley.
02:39Mankind is fired.
02:41And Triple H could be the WWF champion tonight here.
02:46That could be.
02:48Will be.
02:50I hate to agree with you, but you know, you just might be right about that.
02:55Yeah, I know you're all upset about Mankind being fired.
02:58But then again, you might not be right about it.
03:00Mick Show's got something to say about who's going to walk out of here
03:03with a WWF title.
03:05It's X-Pac and Jeff Hardy here one-on-one.
03:07Well, one thing we know for sure, next Monday night in Miami
03:10at the New America Airlines Arena,
03:12the Rock will be a part of that history-making event,
03:15the first brawl of the new millennium in Miami.
03:18And tickets will be on sale at the box office beginning on Thursday morning
03:22in Miami.
03:23Ladies and gentlemen, Mick Foley will not be there.
03:27I don't think he's even going to laugh about it.
03:29I really, I mean, he's given so much.
03:31I know.
03:32Okay, okay.
03:33I mean, really, King.
03:34Seriously, he has.
03:35Well, you know what?
03:36A lot of people probably got fired today, JR.
03:39Oh, look at this.
03:40Oh, my God.
03:41Look at that by Jeff Hardy.
03:42A drop kick, a modified baseball slide into the drop kick,
03:46and now Jeff Hardy has an advantage here on X-Pac.
03:50Look at this.
03:51Oh, look at that.
03:52Oh, man.
03:53Or excuse me, Jeff Hardy, look at that corkscrew moonsault.
03:57It did not pay off.
03:58You know, JR, some poor idiot probably got liquored up
04:00at the company Christmas party, insulted the boss, got fired.
04:03Check that out.
04:04Great impact there created by Jeff Hardy on X-Pac.
04:08Well, you're probably right.
04:11That's sort of what happened.
04:12Oh, man.
04:13Man, what elevation there.
04:14Great impact for you.
04:15That's sort of what happened to mankind.
04:17There's a cover.
04:18He insulted the boss, paid the price, got fired.
04:22I'll tell you one thing.
04:23Before Matt Hardy got injured, there's another cover
04:25after the leg drop, and oh, a near fall.
04:27Before Matt Hardy got injured, the Hardys are right in the thick
04:30of the tag team title chase, and, of course,
04:33the tag title's conveniently held by DX's own New Age Outlaw.
04:38Oh, man.
04:40How ironic is that?
04:42The way things are going to happen when Kane goes against
04:44Tesla, that's going to be something.
04:46And that is another.
04:47I'm bewildered by what Tori has said in her actions here tonight.
04:52You know, I thought she would come back after the holiday
04:54with X-Pac and be, I mean, never the same.
04:58You said it already, traumatized.
05:01I'm not so sure she's not traumatized.
05:03X-Pac was a gentleman, she said.
05:04Well, that's what she said.
05:05I just don't.
05:06X-Pac on top.
05:07Oh, no.
05:08Nobody there for X-Pac's high-risk move off the top rope.
05:12Oh, look at Terry over there.
05:13You think she sort of nursed Matt Hardy's injury there?
05:17I'm sure she's making him feel better,
05:19but who's going to feel good after the WWF title match tonight?
05:22Is it going to be Triple H celebrating the last Raw of this millennium
05:26as the WWF champion?
05:28Oh, look at that.
05:29Springboard.
05:30Moonsault.
05:31He's got it.
05:32He's got it.
05:33And a near fall.
05:34God almighty, that was a great offensive move by Jeff Hardy,
05:37making it to X-Pac.
05:40As we said, Big Show has something to say about the WWF title.
05:44Oh, what a move there.
05:46Head scissors taking X-Pac on the way outside.
05:49Right out of the ring.
05:50Keep your eye on Jeff.
05:51Keep your eye on Jeff Hardy.
05:52Oh, yeah.
05:53Yeah.
05:54Keep your eye on Jeff Hardy.
05:55X-Pac certainly did just that.
05:56Oh, watch.
05:57He's a gentleman.
05:58He knows how to treat a lady.
06:00Well, X-Pac just after a holiday, Christmas.
06:04Hey, look at this.
06:05Wait a minute.
06:07What's that?
06:08Jeff Hardy from behind.
06:10X-Pac was staring down Terry.
06:13That may have.
06:14Wait, what's Terry doing?
06:15What in the world?
06:16Look at the teamwork.
06:18Look at the team.
06:19What is this?
06:20Little Terry taking Matt Hardy's place.
06:23Enziguri by Jeff.
06:24This has got to be it right here.
06:26Oh, Jeff going to go for one more offensive move.
06:28He caught the enziguri to Jeff Hardy.
06:30He's up top.
06:31Oh, the sit-down mom.
06:32Sit-down mom.
06:34Jeff Hardy's done it.
06:36I can't believe it.
06:37X-Pac got the right shoulder up.
06:39What a gentleman.
06:40As the hand was coming down on three,
06:42X-Pac's showing great resiliency.
06:44Look at this.
06:46Oh, Jeff Hardy.
06:47The low blow by X-Pac.
06:49X-Factor.
06:50X-Factor.
06:51That's it, JR.
06:52That's it.
06:53Oh, what a match-up.
06:54What a tremendous, tremendous match.
06:57Here's your winner, X-Pac.
06:59Wow.
07:03Well, pain and test still to come,
07:06and not to mention tag team titles on the line
07:10with a new age outlaw and the big show,
07:13the Vince of WWF title against Triple H,
07:16and that's going to be a damn war.
