00:00Hello, everyone, and welcome to Monday Night Raw.
00:08We're here in the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie, New York.
00:14I'm Darrell Amonson, along with Bobby the Brain Heenan, and
00:18I'm not too sure, Brain, who is this?
00:20That's Vince McMahon, can't you tell?
00:23Who stands like that?
00:25Who dresses like that?
00:26Who looks like that?
00:27He smells a little bit like him, too.
00:29That's Vince McMahon, I told you.
00:31The Big Blizzard of 1993 has really thrown a monkey wrench in the Raw tonight.
00:37But all the WWF superstars that could possibly be here will definitely be here.
00:43We've got some tremendous ones lined up for you.
00:46Did you see how- The Giant Gonzales is here?
00:50I'm gonna be conducting an interview with him, him and Harvey Whippleman.
00:53Papa Shango is, Vince, Papa Shango will face Bob Backlund and
00:59in tag team action, get this, the Head Shrinkers taking on the Nasty Boys.
01:04Well, you better wear all the clothes you can cuz they'll probably be out in
01:08the street fighting with all this snow.
01:10You know the Nasty, you know the Head Shrinkers.
01:13You're probably all wondering, where is Vince McMahon?
01:16Where is the Macho Man?
01:17There in the Big Apple, New York City,
01:20Michael Landon's first annual Leukemia Awards Dinner.
01:24Vince to receive a very prestigious award for the World Wrestling Federation.
01:30All kinds of superstars will also be there on hand.
01:33And to present the award, none other than the Immortal Hulk Hogan.
01:38Live from the Good Hustle Clinic Center in Brookings, New York,
01:43it's Monday Night Raw.
01:45["MIDNIGHT RAW THEME SONG"]
01:55["MIDNIGHT RAW THEME SONG"]
02:06It's a capacity grounder.
02:11It is Jackpot here in Brookings.
02:16Oh yeah.
02:21Take a look, Mr.
02:25Matisla himself, Razor Ramon.
02:30There is the bad guy.
02:35You know Bobby, I don't know whether I mentioned it or not, but
02:39later on in the program, if at all possible, we're gonna be bringing you
02:43footage right from that award center in the Big Apple.
02:48Was there any mention about an award for me?
02:51No, I didn't hear that, no.
02:52I should get an award.
02:53Who did you say this was here?
02:55That's Vince McMahon.
02:56He's had more facelifts than Phyllis Dillard, and he looks great.
03:02Hiya Vinny.
03:03Razor Ramon has quite a bit of gold there on the neck area.
03:07Watch the gold, Chico.
03:10Something happened to this.
03:12Something's going to happen to you.
03:15Boy, he means it, too.
03:17I don't know about that, Bobby the Brain.
03:24We're underway.
03:26Razor not wasting any time, going right to work.
03:29Quite a few blows to the facial area.
03:31Look at this, wide open.
03:34Boy, does he mean business?
03:38Look at this, look at this.
03:39Grabbing him by the ears, throwing him on the floor.
03:40Go, go, go, go, go, go.
03:43What'd you say, McMahon?
03:45Sort of mumbled that, didn't he?
03:46Well, if you've been around Vince for a while like I have,
03:48you've learned to understand him.
03:49Come on, Razor.
03:56Drop him, look at that.
03:57Razor Ramon over backwards.
04:00An unbelievable tall.
04:08Razor Ramon really looking forward to the big one coming up.
04:13April 4th, Las Vegas, Nevada.
04:18WrestleMania IX.
04:19WrestleMania IX.
04:20Caesars Palace, the home of champions.
04:24And you think you can get by Bob Backlund?
04:25I do.
04:26What a test that's gonna be.
04:28Bob Backlund supplying the opposition, former WWF champion,
04:32for that gentleman right there, Razor Ramon.
04:36Just one of the blockbuster matches.
04:38You know, and they're both on a streak, too.
04:40Backlund's been undefeated since he's come to the world,
04:42rejoined the World Wrestling Federation.
04:44And you know the record of Razor Ramon.
04:47If you don't believe me, ask Vince sitting next to you.
04:49Humiliation.
04:51What do you think, Vince?
04:52Razor giving the challenger there quite a few noogies to the head area.
04:56Quite a few what?
04:57Noogies.
04:57That's McMahon talk.
04:58I don't know whether I can take this or not, Bray.
05:04This McMahon here will grow up soon and Bobby the Bray did it and
05:07there's quite a, he took quite a bunch to the facial area.
05:11Big roundhouse right by Razor, look at this, what a power move.
05:19And the crowd's going wild.
05:21Of course, this youngster, Russ Greenberg, is not a Bob Backlund, let's face it.
05:26No, he's not, he's a lot younger.
05:28That's not what I meant.
05:29That's what I meant.
05:30Nonetheless, he's in the ring right now, Gorilla.
05:34Bob Backlund, former WWF champion, held the title for five years plus.
05:42And on the comeback trail, and what a match it'll be for him at WrestleMania 9.
05:47I think it's bye bye, Mr. Greenberg.
05:51Snapped him in half almost.
05:53Suplex off the second turnbuckle, on the inside by the big guy.
06:01Just the beginning of the end, I do believe.
06:03The razor's edge.
06:04This is one of my favorites.
06:08And nobody delivers it quite like this, gentlemen.
06:10I don't know about that, Gorilla, it looks quite a formidable opponent.
06:14Here we go.
06:15Stretch across the back now.
06:17And slides out, Vince.
06:20A squirrel toss to the ring.
06:22I'm getting worried, Mansoor, I'm beginning to understand him.
06:26We're in deep trouble now.
06:28One, two, three.
06:29Here is your winner, Razor Ramon.
06:36Razor Ramon looking very impressive here.
06:44On his way to Las Vegas, Nevada.
06:49When we come back, it'll be with Typhoon.
06:52Here on Monday Night Raw.
06:54Monday Night Raw.
06:56Monday Night Raw.
06:58Monday Night Raw.
07:00Monday Night Raw.
07:05Macho Man, of course, in the big apple, along with Vince McMahon, and
07:09the big guy, the immortal Hulk Hogan, and the bigger Washington.
07:14384 pounds, Typhoon.
07:19What I'm interested in is that ring girl carrying the cart.
07:23She's lost 170 pounds from the first match.
07:25She did not.
07:26That's not the same girl.
07:28What's wrong with you?
07:29There she comes.
07:30Hell, hey, I don't know about that, but it looks like it's Typhoon.
07:35Here on Monday Night Raw.
07:36Well, why shouldn't they have a Typhoon here?
07:38They've had a blizzard, they've had a wind storm, they've had hurricanes.
07:42Why shouldn't a Typhoon be here in Poughkeepsie?
07:45Notwithstanding, the Great Typhoon squaring off against LA Gore.
07:50LA Gore, what does that mean, Vince?
07:53I know, I know.
07:54What is it?
07:54I think that's Lesley Gore.
07:56It is my party.
07:57No, maybe not.
07:58Just a wild stab.
08:00I don't know about that, Bobby the Brain, he didn't know what it was.
08:03LA Gore, Typhoon here, live from the Manhattan Civic Center in Poughkeepsie,
08:08New York, Monday Night Raw.
08:10That is McMahon, I know it.
08:12I can tell by that voice.
08:14Have you seen the guys with the white coats and the net?
08:17No, why?
08:18Well, they'll be coming this way very shortly.
08:20From the Net House?
08:21That means he's the head cashew.
08:23Yes.
08:28Look at this.
08:28Wow, he's falling off backwards on his back.
08:32LA Gore, hitting the wall.
08:36Hey, Vince, what time does that suit have to be back?
08:39I don't want to know, Bobby the Brain.
08:42I like the way you sold the backup.
08:44Why don't you stop?
08:47This is my chance to get him, this is my chance.
08:51Corner, going to work on the big guy in the corner.
08:56Headbutt to the stomach area.
09:00That is a tag with a beautiful clothesline, Typhoon on a roll.
09:05Well, I guess it's Judy's turn to cry.
09:09Are you going to keep that up?
09:10What?
09:11You say whatever I want.
09:11I'll have you both taken out of here.
09:13I don't want to go with him.
09:15You may have to.
09:17I don't want to go with you either.
09:18I'd like to go out on a cart, if you don't mind.
09:21I don't know about that, Bobby the Brain, but you don't own me.
09:25I remember that song.
09:30Did you see the people standing out in line?
09:33I certainly did.
09:34Consider the blizzard that we had here,
09:36that's literally crippled the entire East Coast.
09:40What a thrust that is, a ride for the WWF.
09:44And I saw Vince standing out front, too.
09:46I never saw that much yellow snow in my life.
09:48What was he selling out there?
09:50Used suits.
09:52Nonetheless, Bobby the Brain, yellow snow outside or not,
09:56there is no yellow streak here in the ring.
09:58And the minute, and a beautiful roll.
10:03Baller slam by the big guy.
10:05I think he knocked him out, Brain.
10:07I think he did, too.
10:07If he didn't, that did it.
10:17Typhoon picking up a leg over the hair.
10:20Throwing him back towards the turnbuckle area.
10:25He's almost incoherent.
10:28McMahon or Typhoon?
10:29Both of them.
10:30Almost a man once again.
10:33It's gonna be airborne, Typhoon, coming up.
10:40That'll melt the snow.
10:44Broke out at the end.
10:45Typhoon.
10:46Typhoon.
10:46Well, we've had blizzards, we've had typhoons,
10:51we've had it all right here on Raw.
10:55And when we come back, a special interview coming up with the big guy.
11:02Almost a feet of him, the giant Gonzales.
11:10Am I on?
11:11I don't understand what you're telling me.
11:13Well, let me, give me a cue.
11:15Do I introduce him now?
11:16What am I, wait, what am I doing?
11:18Give me a guy that can't even handle the job on the floor here.
11:22I want proper cue so I can introduce.
11:24Promotional consideration paid for by the following.
11:27To be the World Wrestling Federation champion, you gotta want it every day.
11:30It takes an integrated approach to training, and
11:33that is what ICO Pro is all about.
11:35WWE figures give you the fury of the hitman.
11:42And the bite of the bulldog.
11:43And the firepower of Sergeant Slaughter.
11:46WWE figures heat and soul separately, dig it?
11:50Am I on?
11:51Am I on now?
11:53Thank you, finally, I am on the air.
11:56Right now, I'd like to introduce to you a gentleman
12:03who caused the Undertaker to look up at him and
12:07wonder what the hell he's gotten into.
12:11My guest at this time, accompanied by Harvey Whippleman,
12:16the biggest athlete today.
12:19My guest, the Giant Gonzalez.
12:24This is the man that mauled,
12:29manhandled, and physically abused
12:35The Undertaker, the man who can't be hurt.
12:44Look at the size of that athlete, wow.
12:53Harvey Whippleman, it is my pleasure to have you here as our guest.
13:01Tell me, you said you were gonna drop a bomb.
13:05It's okay, isn't it?
13:09You said you were gonna drop a bomb at the Royal Rumble.
13:14And you dropped a bomb.
13:15You dropped an eight-foot-tall bomb, didn't you, Harvey?
13:19Without a doubt.
13:20You know, I told everybody in the world that I had a big surprise for
13:25the World Wrestling Federation.
13:27And you know, Bobby, nobody realized that I was actually telling the truest
13:31statement of my life, cuz this is a real big surprise.
13:35But what I hate is I haven't yet been able to have the Giant Gonzalez
13:41prove to everybody exactly how awesome he is.
13:44Because every time he steps in the ring,
13:47either the opponent doesn't show up or the opponent runs away.
13:52You know, I saw during a match, a battle royal, I believe, right here on Raw.
13:56He just merely walked the ringside.
13:58Boy, everybody left like there was a plague.
14:01They were scared to death.
14:02Exactly.
14:04And the one man that was stupid enough not to fear and
14:08respect the Giant Gonzalez at the Royal Rumble was The Undertaker.
14:13And you saw what happened at the Royal Rumble.
14:16Everybody saw what happened at the Royal Rumble.
14:19The Undertaker was beaten, annihilated, and destroyed like never before.
14:24Well, The Undertaker has made a statement that he's gonna put the Giant Gonza-
14:28No, I didn't say this.
14:29This is what I've heard,
14:31that he's gonna put him in the biggest coffin the world has ever seen.
14:34I doubt that.
14:35I doubt it very much.
14:37You don't have to worry about how these people react,
14:42because we're dealing with ignorance, it's obvious.
14:48Now then, as far as The Undertaker and his statement at WrestleMania IX
14:54at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, Nevada.
14:59The Undertaker better have a real big coffin.
15:02You know why?
15:04Because he's gonna go in it, and his big, fat, goofy sidekick, Paul Bearer,
15:09is gonna be right in beside him.
15:11Because the most awesome force in the entire World Wrestling Federation,
15:16the eight-foot-tall, 443-pound Giant Gonzalez,
15:21is gonna destroy The Undertaker and bury him once and for all.
15:26So say goodbye to your pale destroyer.
15:29You know, I personally think that if you wanted to,
15:32cuz I've seen you on occasion, you're a tough customer.
15:34I'd like to see you take that Paul Bearer out, but maybe the old one, too.
15:38It's like this, Bobby, I'd give him so many rights, he'd be begging for a lift.
15:42Ha, ha, ha.
15:44One last question.
15:45Mr. Giant Gonzalez, what are your plans for The Undertaker?
15:51Undertaker,
15:57I have a giant surprise for you.
16:03Kind of like a giant burial, wouldn't you say?
16:08Ladies and gentlemen, my guest, the awesome Giant Gonzalez.
16:16What a blockbuster that's gonna be at WrestleMania IX.
16:20Hello, hello.
16:20The Giant Gonzalez- Am I on the air?
16:22Facing one-on-one- Hey, stop it.
16:25The unbelievable Undertaker.
16:28He ruled the ring for over a decade.
16:34He filled more arenas than Ali, Foreman, and Sugar Ray combined.
16:41And he's been crowned WWF Champion an unprecedented four times.
16:49This April 4th, live on pay-per-view,
16:53the immortal Hulk Hogan is back.
16:57WrestleMania, the World Wrestling Federation's greatest spectacle.
17:01Watch the return of Hulk Hogan as he teams with Brutus the Barber Beefcake
17:06to wage war with a heartless money-eat for the WWF Tag Team Championship.
17:11And WWF Champion Bret the Hitman Hart attempts to do what no man has done before.
17:19Beat the 505 pound sumo warrior, Yokozuna.
17:22WrestleMania, live Sunday, April 4th, only on pay-per-view.
17:28We're back and we're live here tonight on Raw from the Mid Hudson Civic Center,
17:36here in McKenzie, New York.
17:38The Big Wizard of 1993 has not won a favor on Raw, Bray.
17:45How are we getting back to New York City?
17:47What's the deal with New York City?
17:48I don't want to be stuck in this berth with 65 inches of snow.
17:51Look, Papa Shango with the flaming skull, Vince.
17:59Is it Vince?
18:00No, it's not.
18:01That is Vince.
18:02He didn't even ask.
18:03He didn't even acknowledge when I said that.
18:04He acknowledged a lot of people.
18:06Gorilla Monster, Mother of the Lady, that Mr. McMahon here, Monday Night Raw.
18:12What is this?
18:13Monday Night Raw.
18:15You ought to do that with your voice there, Bobby.
18:17His opponent- Papa Shango.
18:18From Princeton, Minnesota, weighing 234 pounds, Bob Backlund.
18:25Former WWF Champion, a standing ovation here in Port Gibson for Bob Backlund.
18:32The crowd loves this old American boy.
18:35You know, every time I watch Backlund, I'm like,
18:39Every time I watch Backlund wrestle, I get the feeling I'm in Mayberry watching Opie.
18:45Don't start.
18:46I don't know about that, Bobby DeMaria, but there it is,
18:49extending the hand of friendship to Papa Shango.
18:51Papa Shango would love to shake your hand.
18:53Turning you into a mallard.
18:55Spinning on Bob Backlund in the hand area.
18:58Backlund using his speed and agility, tremendous wrestling skills, I'm sure.
19:04Trying to stay out of the reach of this baby.
19:07Oh, it's a little turnbuckle.
19:08He falls down at the squirrel.
19:09Flip down the ruffle.
19:12Here by the former champion.
19:15Bob Backlund giving the appearance of a younger, youthful Mickey Rooney.
19:21What?
19:22Opie, I think.
19:23I'm going to knock him out.
19:24Go ahead.
19:25I'll hold him.
19:26I'm going to do that.
19:27Then I'll go through the pockets.
19:32You think there's anything in his pockets?
19:36Nah.
19:37Let's just knock him out.
19:40Papa Shango enjoying tremendous success here in the WWF,
19:44but nowhere near the success enjoyed in the past by Bob Backlund.
19:49That's quite a feat, Monsoon, to hold the WWF title for five years.
19:53That's not an easy task.
19:54Absolutely.
19:56To beat all comers for that coveted title.
19:59But no one has defended the title more than Bret the Hitman.
20:04And that's going to be his demise at WrestleMania.
20:07Because Yokozuna is taking it easy.
20:09He's laying in the weeds.
20:10He's getting mentally prepared.
20:12Physically, what can you do with the man?
20:14He's 505 pounds.
20:15He's as big as he's going to get.
20:17Maybe not.
20:18Maybe he'll even get bigger.
20:19I don't know.
20:20He may be 525 pounds, Vince.
20:25Well, see, he's gone.
20:27McMahon, he's right there.
20:30He's right there.
20:31It's a controversial in the ring.
20:32Oh, boy.
20:33Oh, yeah.
20:34He's flipping around.
20:35Oh, yeah.
20:36Oh, yeah.
20:37Oh, yeah.
20:38Oh, yeah.
20:39I think he needs a shot to it.
20:40Oh.
20:41Didn't you make an appointment for him Thursday morning?
20:44Absolutely.
20:45Beautiful single leg trip by Backlund.
20:48With who?
20:49Takiyo Takagi.
20:51I don't know about that, girl.
20:56One visit will be sufficient.
20:59Griswold now trying to maintain some kind of control.
21:02He's got to get his Papa Shanga down.
21:04He's too big for him.
21:05Back on the stand.
21:06Irish whip in.
21:07Look out.
21:08Oh, what a backbreaker.
21:11Well executed by the big guy.
21:13Very well executed.
21:15Backlund with some evil backbreaker.
21:17Falling down.
21:18Get him.
21:19He's gone.
21:22You have one of those stun guns, don't you?
21:26You have one of those stun guns, don't you?
21:28Oh, I wish I did.
21:34Hey, the funny thing is, this is the best McMahon's been.
21:41Bob Backlund trying to pull himself up on the ropes.
21:44Hey.
21:45Kabala trying to kick him off.
21:49Papa Shanga.
21:51Backlund is under the ring.
21:52He just says anything.
21:53He just says anything.
21:54Yogi Bear.
21:55Mickey Man.
21:56Whatever.
21:57Whatever comes up, comes out.
21:58Joe Namath.
21:59I can't believe it.
22:00Action has gone to the floor here.
22:01Holy mackerel.
22:03I got a real good friend who used to play for the Yankees,
22:06Joe Pepitone.
22:07He was telling me he was going to let in some of his hair.
22:11Are you going to stop?
22:13I don't know about that, but in the ring now,
22:15Papa Shanga going out to pull in Bob Backlund.
22:18Bamboo.
22:19All the way.
22:20Papa Shanga pulling him from behind.
22:21Oh, he's going into the ring.
22:22There's no flow for it.
22:23Oh, stop.
22:26You know, if he'd take those power stays out of his shorts,
22:29he could talk a lot better.
22:30Boy, oh, boy.
22:32I'm about to lose control here.
22:35Well, this is uncensored.
22:37It's live, and it's raw.
22:39Papa Shanga with a headbutt to the groin area of Bob Backlund.
22:44Reverse chin lock to gain some control here.
22:48I don't know what I'm going to do to gain some control.
22:51Maybe a left hook.
22:58All roads will be leading to Las Vegas, Nevada on April 4th.
23:03Caesar's Palace, the home of champions,
23:08entertaining WrestleMania 9.
23:11But here at the Gibson New York, live from the Mid-Huntsman Civic Center,
23:15it's Monday Night Raw.
23:17How do you unwind him?
23:19I'll see if he can get this one.
23:20Hey, McMahon.
23:23What cable system are we on?
23:25We are live on the USA Cable Network.
23:27We're right after Raw.
23:28Stay tuned for Nick Mancuso as Matrix.
23:33He was a hit man who got hit.
23:35Has a chance to come back and right wrongs.
23:38Stay tuned right here at USA for Matrix
23:41tonight at 10 Central, only on USA.
23:45Right after Raw.
23:46You know the funny part?
23:47He's right.
23:48I know.
23:49It's scary.
23:50And I'm agreeing with you.
23:51Think how bad this is.
23:52We're in deep trouble.
23:53We're in deep something.
23:54Snow.
23:55Bob Backlund's in deep trouble right now.
24:02I see Shango.
24:03Looking right in there.
24:04Shango knows what he's doing.
24:06He's using all his weight.
24:08Using a little bit of the ropes.
24:09A little bit of leverage there.
24:10That's OK, though.
24:11That's OK, though.
24:13If you don't get caught, you can do it.
24:14Oh, yeah.
24:15Sure.
24:18Backlund's going to have to get back on his feet here.
24:20Or the big guy will just wear him down.
24:23I don't care how good of shape you're in.
24:25You're still 43 years old.
24:27And he's in there with a lot younger man, a lot bigger man.
24:30You've got to be in great shape.
24:32Great shape, even to get in there.
24:33He is in great shape.
24:34Well, let's see how good shape he's in.
24:36Let's see how long he lasts.
24:38One thing you can be sure of, Backlund will not run out
24:41of gas out of your body.
24:43He doesn't seem to be running out of gas right here, Garello.
24:47That's who count.
24:53Speaking of gas, if you gave her good belts,
24:55maybe that suited fit.
24:59Backlund now up on his feet and elbow.
25:01Finds the mark.
25:02Another one in the bread basket.
25:04And Bob's just about, yes.
25:07Choco going right back downstairs.
25:10Right in the bread basket.
25:15The big guy just manhandling the former WWF champion.
25:20Can you imagine what Reason Ramon's gonna do to Backlund
25:23when he gets his hands on him?
25:24Another one of the big matches scheduled for WrestleMania IX.
25:29The wrestling extravaganza of all time, Bray.
25:35Oh, and that small package.
25:37He got him.
25:38He got him with a small package.
25:40Almost an old man charging Bob Backlund right in the eye.
25:43Did he get him?
25:44Bob Backlund.
25:45He got him with a small package.
25:50Backlund putting the big guy in the small package.
25:55And the Voodoo King is really bent out of shape.
25:58Right now, let's take you to meet Gene with our WrestleMania report.
26:03Let's make a snowman.
26:25This WrestleMania report here on Raw is brought to you by IcoPro.
26:30More than simple pills and powders.
26:32IcoPro.
26:33The only complete conditioning programs designed to prepare you for victory.
26:39You've gotta want it.
26:41IcoPro.
26:42Hey, what a WrestleMania it's gonna be inside three weeks.
26:45Sunday, April 4th from Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
26:49You can see it all exclusively on pay-per-view cable TV.
26:53Everything from the opening procession to the Egyptian guards
26:58to the belly dancers.
26:59And hold on to your hats.
27:01I have been informed we're gonna be having the world's largest toga party.
27:06That's right.
27:07I'm gonna be wearing a toga.
27:09Certainly our announcing team of Gorilla Monsoon,
27:12Bobby the Brain Heenan, and the Macho Man Randy Savage.
27:15They're gonna be in togas.
27:17These production people, camera guys,
27:19carting cameras around for WrestleMania are wearing togas.
27:22People in the audience, people at home.
27:24All in all, it is gonna be absolutely something else.
27:27And, of course, that is in addition to the incredible double main event.
27:31As World Wrestling Federation champion,
27:34Bret the Hitman Hart defends his coveted crown
27:38against 505-pound challenger Yokozuna,
27:42who this past weekend on WWF Superstars
27:46clearly demonstrated how devastating he can be.
27:49Let's pick up that footage after the match was over.
27:52You want respect?
27:54You saw respect.
27:57Wait a minute, what's going on here?
27:59We will show you.
28:01Hey, teach him a little respect.
28:03What else?
28:04Oh, come on.
28:09There's no call for this.
28:11There's no call for this at all.
28:13What's he trying to do?
28:14It's called respect.
28:17It's called vicious.
28:19Yeah, it's called vicious.
28:20The closer we get to WrestleMania,
28:23the more vicious Yokozuna gets.
28:26Look at his arm.
28:27No, this isn't necessary.
28:29Get this man down.
28:36Can you imagine a quarter of a ton landing on you flush?
28:40Perhaps that's a bad choice of words.
28:43Now, the other half of that double main event
28:45pits the Mega Maniacs,
28:47the immortal Hulk Hogan,
28:49and his tag team partner, Brutus the Barber of Beefcake,
28:52who coincidentally showed us this past weekend
28:55that very unusual mask
28:57that he's going to be wearing at WrestleMania
28:59to protect his face from further injury.
29:02The Mega Maniacs will be meeting
29:04the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions,
29:07Money Incorporated.
29:09Right now, let's hear from the Million Dollar Man,
29:11Ted DiBiase, and his partner, IRS.
29:17The Mega Idiots.
29:18They think they found the Equalizer, Erwin,
29:20a way to beat Money Incorporated at WrestleMania,
29:22something to even out the odds,
29:24no more than a dirty trick.
29:25But when you climb into that ring at Caesar's Palace
29:28and you roll those dice,
29:29it's gonna come up snake-eye!
29:31That's right, Mega Morons.
29:33You see, this briefcase doesn't come to WrestleMania with us.
29:36First of all, it's not big enough
29:38to hold all the money we're gonna win.
29:40We've got a special briefcase being made just for you
29:43that's armor-pierced.
29:47That half of the main event,
29:48I guarantee you, folks,
29:49worth the price of admission alone.
29:52Here's one that they're talking about
29:54everywhere I go, coast to coast, all over the world.
29:57The 8-foot-tall Giant Gonzalez,
30:00managed by Harvey Whippleman,
30:02will be locking up with The Undertaker.
30:04Remember, both men do have managers.
30:06Those managers will be at ringside.
30:08Standing by with The Undertaker,
30:10here is his manager, Paul Bear.
30:13Oh, yes, Giant Gonzalez.
30:17You won't have to look very hard for my Undertaker.
30:22Just show up at Caesar's Palace, WrestleMania,
30:27and we'll be my Undertaker's personal graveyard.
30:32Giant Gonzalez,
30:35as I stand in your nightmares
30:40every sleepless night,
30:45let it be known that as each day passes,
30:51your nightmare soon will become
30:58a reality.
31:00Rest in peace.
31:05In another match-up, it's Perfection against the man
31:08that claims he's beyond perfection.
31:11Mr. Perfect meets the narcissist Lex Luger,
31:14plus a virtual plethora of other great matches.
31:18If you can't join us in Las Vegas,
31:20you can still see this WrestleMania live,
31:23as it happens exclusively on pay-per-view cable TV.
31:27Contact your local cable company right now
31:30for the action that starts at 7 p.m. Eastern Time,
31:34Sunday, April 4th, from Caesar's Palace.
31:37Right now, let's get back to more Monday Night Raw.
31:40Of course, Guerrilla Monsoon,
31:42all the way to Poughkeepsie, New York.
31:44And, Guerrilla, you still can't shake the weasel, Bobby Heenan.
31:48What about that other guy sitting over there?
31:50That other clown, Bob Barker, he's not much of an improvement.
31:53And, guys, what about the world's largest toga party?
31:57Guerrilla, I can hardly wait to see you and the weasel in togas.
32:01We'll see you there.
32:03Well, no question about it, I'm here with a couple of beauties.
32:06But do you think that you're gonna be any bargain, Mean Gene, in a toga?
32:11I'm not wearing a toga.
32:12You're wearing a toga.
32:13I have a white sequined suit, man.
32:15I'm not wearing a toga.
32:16This guy's wearing a straitjacket.
32:18I got news for you.
32:19Well, he needs it, too.
32:20I don't know about that.
32:21I think I might be wearing what that raw girl's wearing.
32:24Taking on the Head Shrinker.
32:26Let's go do something.
32:27Come on.
32:29Hi, I'm Todd Pettengill.
32:30Join me every weekend for WWF Mania.
32:33It's wild.
32:34It's crazy.
32:35It's excessive excitement caused by acute hyperactivity.
32:39Each week, we'll bring you exclusive interviews and tons of great wrestling action.
32:44But most of all, it's just good, clean fun.
32:48So, start your weekend with the EWGN.com.
32:52But most of all, it's just good, clean fun.
32:56So, start your weekend with the outrageous WWF Mania.
33:00Saturday mornings at 10 Eastern on USA.
33:03Just, uh, brush your teeth first.
33:08What a tremendous job Todd is doing on WWF Mania.
33:13Take a look at that.
33:16What is it?
33:17I don't know what that is.
33:19It's over, whatever it is.
33:20It's raw.
33:21Wait, it's like one of the Nasty Boys.
33:25The Nasty Boys.
33:27Oh, the WWF Tag Team Champions.
33:30The Nasty Boys.
33:37What's this?
33:38Oh, no.
33:39Look at this.
33:40I don't believe it.
33:41They are the Nasty Boys.
33:43Oh.
33:47Oh, and they got guts.
33:51What do you think, Vince?
33:53That was raw.
33:55Their opponents.
33:57I'd rather kiss the head shrinker.
34:04Head spottin' on Raw.
34:06Here's Rick Van Houtzen.
34:08Civic centering by Gipsy.
34:10And take a look.
34:13What a tag match this is going to be.
34:15You're not going to see tags.
34:17You're not going to see step over toe holds.
34:19You're not going to see wrestling.
34:21Who knows what you're going to see.
34:23This is going to be a fight.
34:24Don't forget, folks, we're still working on getting that special footage
34:28from the Big Apple at the awards dinner.
34:32We're doing our best.
34:33We'll try to get it to you.
34:37What a match this is going to be, man.
34:39You want me to go back to the truck and see how they're doing?
34:41No, you wouldn't.
34:42What help would you be back there?
34:44I'm very helpful.
34:45You'd be about as much help as this guy is right here.
34:48What a matchup we have here.
34:49The Dusty Boyz squaring off against the Head Shrinkers.
34:54That won't come up again.
34:58Like him sitting next to you on a trip to Europe.
35:06This won't be a wrestling match.
35:08This will be a human sacrifice.
35:11It'll be a street ball.
35:12No question about that.
35:14He wants the pit stop.
35:16I'll tell you right now, where is AFA?
35:19AFA's very conspicuous.
35:21But I saw him earlier.
35:22I was sure I did.
35:23He's in the building someplace.
35:26How could you mistake seeing or not seeing AFA?
35:30I don't know about that, Bobby LeBron.
35:31He didn't come on soon.
35:33But you know that a real wrestlers are pretty bad when they give each other headbutts.
35:39Whoa!
35:41I guess we're gonna find out now who's really nasty.
35:50Incidentally, many thanks in order for the Nasty Boyz stepping aside
35:55and letting the Mega Maniacs get a crack at Money Incorporated
35:59at WrestleMania IX for all the marvels.
36:03I wanna see that match Head Shrinkers and Steiners at WrestleMania.
36:08Oh! Big double back drop!
36:12That'll take some of the starch out of you.
36:14It may be cold outside, McMahon.
36:16But it's hot in here.
36:18Because it's what?
36:19It's uncooked!
36:21Uncooked!
36:23And uncooked!
36:25It's right!
36:28He's as soft as a brick.
36:31Hook of the leg, but only at two pounds.
36:33Referee's gonna have his hands full
36:35maintaining some semblance of order in this one.
36:37Match has only been on about three minutes and already
36:39he can't keep him out of the ring.
36:41Three guys in the ring right now.
36:44Come on, ref, do your job.
36:49Can you see these four in a lua?
36:52What a tremendous effort on the part of the superstars here at the WWF
36:57to deal with this 1990s, early 2000s
37:01to deal with this 1993 blizzard here on the east coast
37:06and still get here for Monday Night Raw.
37:11I think the only time you're gonna see these two in a lua
37:15would be if they had an apple in their mouths.
37:19Oh! Head rolls!
37:21Oh my God!
37:22Back roll!
37:25And it's a tie at last!
37:27He's gone.
37:28What'd he say?
37:29He's gone. I don't know.
37:30What'd he say?
37:31Sounds like he hit him on full of marbles.
37:34Quick tags, continuity on the part of the former champions.
37:40You know, the Head Shrinkers, Bryan, seem to be a little bit lost without Alpha.
37:45Well, Alpha's here. I saw him earlier.
37:47You know, you still see people like him walking around.
37:50He's here.
37:52Who knows where he is?
37:54Well, if he's here, he should be out there.
37:56You tell him.
37:57Oh, it's a little row reversal.
37:59One of the Nasty Boys taking a bite out of one of the Head Shrinkers.
38:03A little late lunchtime.
38:05Well, this one a long way from being over,
38:08but we've got to step aside here.
38:13We're back here live at Raw, and it's been mayhem.
38:17They've been on the floor.
38:18They've had the cables from the television wrapped around their throats.
38:21They've used the steps.
38:22This has been a fight.
38:23This has been a fight.
38:24I thought the referee was going to disqualify everybody.
38:27Well, he can't keep his eyes on all the action.
38:29He don't know who's legal, who's illegal.
38:32What a tremendous tag team matchup.
38:35You know what illegal is, don't you?
38:36Yes, a sick bird.
38:40During the break, you'll notice one of the Nasty Boys grabbed a small child from the crowd
38:45and beat one of the Head Shrinkers out of the back.
38:47He did that.
38:48Will you stop?
38:50I'm going to have this guy taken out of here.
38:52It's-
38:54Pass me that lead pipe, would you please?
39:00Very little rival reason to this one.
39:02They've just been beating each other to a pulp.
39:04One good thing.
39:10Put it over!
39:11Slam on the concrete!
39:14One good thing.
39:16On Sunday afternoons on All-American with me and Gene Okerlund,
39:19right here on the USA Network,
39:20we don't have to put up with McMahon.
39:22I've got enough troubles with Okerlund.
39:23No, but you're going to have to wear a toga, I understand.
39:25I'm not wearing a toga.
39:26On All-American, too.
39:30Of course, All-American, 12 noon on USA Network.
39:33I'm not wearing a toga.
39:35Bobby the Brain, Eden, the togalos.
39:37Bobby the Brain, Eden.
39:38My luck, they give me a see-through toga.
39:41And mean Gene Okerlund.
39:43Oh, I can't wait to see that.
39:46Are you wearing a toga?
39:47Are you wearing a toga?
39:48On All-American?
39:49I'm not allowed here.
39:50Forget it.
39:51Sitting next to him, you've got nothing.
39:52Oh, look at this.
39:53Perch tie up there.
39:55Top turnbuckle.
39:58But that won't hurt him.
39:59What's that do?
40:00But that won't hurt him.
40:01It'll stun him.
40:02But it won't hurt him.
40:03He turns, but no.
40:04Oh, no.
40:05Get out!
40:06Oh, no.
40:07Oh, come on.
40:08Ferry puts it in his face.
40:09Oh, he's back on the bottom rope.
40:10Oh, no.
40:11Get out!
40:12Get out!
40:13It's over!
40:18It's on a roll here now.
40:20Sykes' knob just lost it.
40:22Look at this.
40:23He won't hurt him.
40:24Double headbanger.
40:25That's not going to help.
40:26He didn't do his homework.
40:32Another attempt at a double backdrop.
40:34But no.
40:35He got hammered.
40:36He nailed them both.
40:37Who is legal in this match?
40:39What's the difference, man?
40:40Put them out on the floor now.
40:43The action has gone to the floor.
40:45Here at Quicken Team.
40:47All four men now outside the ring.
40:50Where are they going?
40:51Where are they going?
40:52Heading for the lockout.
40:53They're into the concession area.
40:55Come on.
40:58They're into the groceries.
41:01Monster, popcorn, cocoa, sugar.
41:05All three calling for the bell.
41:07I guess he's seen enough.
41:09I guess you can have it your way, right?
41:12Holy mackerel.
41:17Some more referees have come out.
41:19But that's not stopping these guys.
41:24He's still banging them in the head.
41:27Look at that.
41:28Look at that.
41:29He's covered with mustard.
41:32We told you about all the tremendous charity work
41:36done by the WWF.
41:38It's done 365 days a year.
41:41Let's take a look.
41:43The World Wrestling Federation.
41:45We're known for our tough champions
41:47and larger-than-life superheroes.
41:50But inside every big man of the WWF
41:53beats a heart just as big.
41:55And an undying commitment.
41:58A warm smile.
42:00A firm hug.
42:02A sparkle in a child's eyes.
42:05These are the rewards that the World Wrestling Federation
42:08receives in return for our work
42:10with numerous charitable organizations around the world.
42:13Over the years, WWF superstars have given freely of their time
42:18to help those who are in need.
42:20With numerous public appearances throughout the country.
42:23Whether it's in New York, New York City,
42:27whether visiting sick children in hospitals,
42:30volunteering for the Special Olympics,
42:33or participating in celebrity softball games.
42:36We at the WWF know it is our duty to give back
42:39a little of the love that our audience has given to us.
42:43We also realize that as role models,
42:46we are responsible for teaching our children
42:48proper lessons about life.
42:51Staying away from the drugs, staying away from the alcohol,
42:54working out six times a week, eating the proper foods,
42:57you're going to have a longer and more prosperous life.
43:00So remember those things.
43:02Alerting them to the hazards of smoking.
43:05Nasty boys are as nasty as they want to be.
43:08But if you smoke, you're really uncool and a jerk.
43:13And warning them about the dangers of using drugs.
43:17Be a leader and not a fowler.
43:20Say no to drugs and stay in school.
43:23Drugs is a one-way ticket to nowhere.
43:29The World Wrestling Federation also raises money
43:32for various projects, both large and small.
43:35From helping a local library,
43:37to benefits for charities like the Make-A-Wish Foundation,
43:40and our most recent effort,
43:42to help raise money for the Somalian Relief Fund.
43:45By working together with various organizations,
43:48such as the National Children's Leukemia Foundation,
43:51we hope to make this world a better place for all.
44:01What a tremendous ride it has been.
44:04Don't forget, next week, back at the Manhattan Center,
44:07a tremendous match is lined up.
44:09Money Incorporated will be here.
44:11Kamala taking on Dyke.
44:13Tatanka, the undefeated Native American,
44:16faces the Repo Man.
44:18And get this, Bushwhackers.
44:20On Monday Night Raw.
44:22Hey, let's take him outside, and pack him in snow,
44:25and put coal in his eyes, and a broom in his hand,
44:28a hat on, and watch him melt.
44:30Seems like a good idea to me.
44:32What's the name of the show, Vince?
44:33Vince McMahon and the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
44:36will be back with you next week.
44:38Until then, gorilla monsoon for the brain,
44:41and I don't know, saying so long.
44:43Vince McMahon, Monday Night Raw.
