00:00We are live from the Manhattan Center in downtown LA.
00:28in downtown New York City, welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw.
00:36I'm Vince McMahon, along with Bobby the Brain Heenan and the Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:42You along with the Smoking Guns was in town earlier here today as a matter of fact.
00:47And Macho Man, you guys were right there with a special Olympics.
00:51I'm gonna tell you something, some of my best friends were down there competing
00:56And these are champions from the Special Olympics right here in the Big Apple
01:00Manhattan Center right outside Madison Square Garden.
01:03And he lifted it, and he's a good kid, and I love him.
01:06Smoking Guns right there with me.
01:08All right, and good luck to the Special Olympics on June 13th.
01:11Speaking of which, that, of course, is the king of the ring date.
01:13But nonetheless, tonight, we're gonna see an action.
01:17We're gonna see an action the likes of Razor Ramon, Bobby Heenan.
01:21That's right, and whoever Razor's opponent is, he's gonna cut him to rivets.
01:25He's gonna slice and dice like a Vegemite.
01:27Orisor in action.
01:29The Native American still undefeated, Tatanka.
01:31Right, and Tatanka's gonna still be undefeated.
01:33I like that.
01:34A special interview with the reigning Intercontinental Champion, Shawn Michaels.
01:38And then from there, one-on-one, the Ugandan giant against, can you imagine, Yokozuna.
01:44You forgot something.
01:45What's that?
01:46The next WWF Champion, Yokozuna.
01:50He's under the microscope right here on Monday Night Raw.
01:52Here we go.
01:53He's not too good against Kamala.
01:54He may be bigger than ever.
01:56All right, before we take you now, standing by is Lord Alfred Hayes.
02:00And Alfred Hayes is standing in the very same position that he was last week
02:04when all hell broke loose, as a matter of fact, between Shawn Michaels and Mr. Burt.
02:09Let's take you now to that footage from last week.
02:12All right.
02:13It's raw talent that's got me to the top of the World Wrestling Federation.
02:18And tonight, Hacksaw Jim Duggan is gonna find out
02:23why I'm the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Champion.

03:46Vincent, I couldn't believe my eyes last week,
03:49but I certainly couldn't believe them this week.
03:51Something happened that you cannot imagine.
03:54somebody here before we came on the air in disguise.
03:57And shortly, you there on Monday Night Raw are going to be as surprised as I was
04:03when you find out who it is.
04:05All right, Alfredo, what is it, what is it, Macho Man?
04:07I like surprises, let it happen again.
04:10Yeah, all right, here we go.
04:11I'd like to know what he saw.
04:12What's that?
04:14Hit the deck, what is that?
04:16All right.
04:17And a total combined weight of 505 pounds.
04:27Mark Van Ville, The Smoking Gun.
04:31The Smoking Gun.
04:32And a total combined weight.
04:34Whoa, look out.
04:35Whoa.
04:36Ha ha ha.
04:37Look at Finkel, look at Finkel.
04:39Yeah, Finkel got out of dodge.
04:42Everybody duck.
04:45Give me Bobby Heenan, get up.
04:46Heenan, get up.
04:47Bobby.
04:48Is he gonna pull away?
04:49Bobby, get up.
04:50That's a sawed off shotgun he's got.
04:52That's a sawed off shotgun.
04:54Tony, looking forward to locking up with The Smoking Guns.
04:58I guess they are.
04:59Smoking Guns have been just that as of late in the WWF.
05:03They've been smoking.
05:04Let me tell you something about The Smoking Guns today.
05:06When they saw the kid, when he lifted that weight,
05:09the look on The Smoking Guns' faces, they're friends of mine.
05:12They gave me chills up and down my spine.
05:14All right, to start things off, it's gonna be fired against this Cucumber.
05:19And, wait a minute, up we go, and a nice hip toss.
05:23Smoking Guns and
05:26a macho man, Randy Savage, in town early here.
05:33Is that The Smoking Guns I smell, or is the rodeo next door at the garden?
05:37A wise guy.
05:38I talked to these guys earlier, and they're psyched for Monday night.
05:42Look at that.
05:43Glenn Ruth is tagged in, and that- A hip toss, and
05:47you get caught with a clothesline, look out.
05:51Ruth, I think he has problems now with Billy.
05:55Glenn Ruth off the rope.
05:56No, my goodness, they'll go up high on you, yeah.
06:00He's gonna pay the price for that move.
06:03Billy and Mark, The Smoking Guns.
06:05Well, they're gonna find out something here in the World Wrestling Federation.
06:07What's that? It's a little different than playing on
06:09the farm, and picking up a bunch of cows, and doggies, and
06:12all the stuff they talk about, and Rope and Russell.
06:15I see.
06:16Heathen, the only exercise you get is jumping to conclusions, brother.
06:19Body slam.
06:21Are you talking to me?
06:22Yes, I believe he was.
06:24Well, don't bother. And Billy back in now.
06:25Billy with a head of steam off the rope, and Drew, wow, did he ever drop the elbow.
06:31The Smoking Guns, and off the rope again, this time with a knee follow-up.
06:35Evidently, right there.
06:40Smoking Guns, Billy and Bud, you have to wonder what Alfred Hayes was referring to
06:45earlier on about a big surprise with an Alfred C out there.
06:48I'll tell you, I had such a great time last week,
06:50I just hope it puts me to another level.
06:52I know what it was.
06:53What is it?
06:53It was Alfred's first girlfriend, and he can't believe she's 103.
06:57Drop toe, tag was made, elbow in the back of the neck.
07:03Smoking Guns with great tag team coordination.
07:05Everyone wondered whether or not they would make it in the WWF.
07:10They're doing just fine.
07:12They're doing great, and they wanted to do even better.
07:15Root now, up in the air, nice reflex.
07:19They love kids, Heenan, did you know that?
07:23Where are they from?
07:24Where they're from?
07:25Texas.
07:26Texas, that explains it.
07:28Explains what?
07:29They don't look too bright.
07:30It's something in the water, you know, I say.
07:33I think Heenan's going completely senile.
07:36I'll tell you, they're impressing me, cuz they're tagging off quick.
07:40They seem to know what they're doing in that ring.
07:42I'll wait till they get some big, big superstars, like Money Inc.,
07:46like the Head Shrinkers, whoever.
07:48Brilliant box of Smoking Guns, and now they're working on the arm of Ben Roode.
07:55I think they're here to stay.
07:57Yeah.
07:57At the conclusion of this matchup, ladies and gentlemen,
08:01a special interview with Shawn Michaels, the reigning Intercontinental Champion.
08:09Who I'm sure is gonna have an awful lot to say as a result of the footage that we
08:13just saw repeated from last week.
08:14Wow.
08:15There's no doubt about it.
08:16The way he was, let's say sucker jump, instead of sucker punch.
08:21Cuz he was jumped by Mr. Perfect.
08:22I don't know who got the worst end of the deal, Shawn Michaels or that car.
08:27The car was destroyed.
08:28All right.
08:29The car was a piece of junk before it pulled up.
08:31You know, maybe Mr. Perfect's involved in that surprise.
08:35You know, maybe you're right, baby.
08:37Yes.
08:38Maybe Mr. Perfect is gonna join us.
08:40Look at this, look at this, look at this.
08:41Don't forget about it.
08:43The cover, back out, two in.
08:46Easy victory.
08:47You can count to 100 on that one.
08:49Check that.
08:51That impressed me.
08:52Here are your winners, The Machine Guns.
08:58The Smoking Guns victorious.
09:02And everybody's talking about The Smoking Guns and
09:06everybody's talking about WWF Mania.
09:09Hi, I'm Todd Pettengill.
09:10Join me every weekend for WWF Mania.
09:13It's wild, it's crazy.
09:15It's excessive excitement caused by acute hyperactivity.
09:18Each week, we'll bring you exclusive interviews and tons of great wrestling action.
09:23But most of all, it's just good, clean fun.
09:27So start your weekend with the outrageous WWF Mania.
09:31Saturday mornings at 10 Eastern on USA.
09:34Just brush your teeth first.
09:39And a baby Todd Pettengill.
09:41I like him.
09:42Do you like Todd Pettengill?
09:43I like the show.
09:44I don't like Todd Pettengill.
09:45What do you think about Tataka versus Terry Taylor?
09:47Well, I'll tell you, Tataka's undefeated.
09:50But you're gonna see it this Saturday morning.
09:52You're gonna see Terry Taylor beat Tataka.
09:54Oh, yeah.
09:55I got that feeling.
09:56You got the feeling, don't you?
09:58I think your feeling's no feeling at all.
10:00I think it's gonna be thumbs up for Tataka and Todd Pettengill.
10:04Do the thing, Vince McMahon, in the ring.
10:07How do you like that?
10:08I don't like him either.
10:09All right, Macho Man Randy Savage, Bobby Red Head, and everyone,
10:11my guest at this time, the reigning Intercontinental Champion,
10:15would you please welcome Mr. Shawn Michaels.
10:20I know I'm sexy.
10:22I've got the looks and drives to go wild.
10:27I've got the movement and I'm here to prove it.
10:31I sent you all up and down that spot.
10:35I'm just a sexy boy.
10:39I'm not your boy toy.
10:43I'm just a sexy boy.
10:47I'm not your boy toy.
10:51I make them hot.
10:53I make them chill.
10:55Shawn is dead.
10:58Shawn is dead.
11:00Shawn is dead.
11:01Shawn is dead.
11:03Shawn is dead.
11:04You hear that?
11:05Shawn is great.
11:06I wonder if we're gonna have your attention.
11:08Everyone knows what happened last week.
11:11I mean, what was it you said that incited Mr.
11:15Perfect to attack you outside the building here at Monday Night Raw?
11:19Look, look, look.
11:20I'll get to that soon enough.
11:22Now, I think, big man, you, me, and everybody in the World Wrestling
11:28Federation can agree that Shawn Michaels is a man of his word.
11:36Now, a man of his word?
11:39A man of his word.
11:40Now, let's recap for a second, shall we?
11:42Won't that be fun?
11:43That'll be fun.
11:44Why don't you sit there?
11:45Let me do the recapping.
11:46I told everybody that I would become the World Wrestling Federation
11:51Intercontinental Champion.
11:54Presto change-o, I am.
11:58I told everybody I'd defend this title all over the world.
12:03Done.
12:04Then I got into a lumberjack match with Hacksaw Jim Duggan,
12:09and I told you I'd walk out the Intercontinental Champion.
12:14Done.
12:16And on to Mr. Perfect.
12:19I told everybody that I was better than Mr. Perfect.
12:26I took Mr. Perfect's best shot, and look, see here,
12:34I'm still the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Champion.
12:39There you have it.
12:41Well, you have been a champion.
12:44Some would say somewhat of a reluctant fighting champion, however.
12:49Reluctant?
12:50You call traveling all over the world, defending this title with blood,
12:57sweat, and tears reluctant?
13:00I know you don't.
13:01You don't have to tell me.
13:03You know as well as I do.
13:06I'm the best in the World Wrestling Federation.
13:10I will defend this title anywhere, anytime, against anybody.
13:20Because I'm the man.
13:21I'm the heartbreak kid.
13:24When you're Clam Up, when you're Shawn Michaels, you fear no man.
13:30Anywhere, anyplace, anytime.
13:35Jack.
13:36Well, there's no question, Mr. Michaels, that you have a great deal of-
13:39Savage, Savage.
13:40We got a guy over here getting into the ring.
13:42Hey, Benz.
13:43He sent you out of the stands, wants to take me up on this challenge, right?
13:47Look, buddy, you got your ticket.
13:49Sit down in your seat and go to wherever it is you came from.
13:53Marty Jannetty.
13:56That's Marty Jannetty.
13:57Wait a minute.
14:00Whoa.
14:01Wait a minute.
14:03Are you a man of your word?
14:07Are you a true champion?
14:10I'll do nothing foolish, Shawn.
14:11Are you going to put your belt where your mouth is?
14:14You don't have to.
14:15You don't have to.
14:16And defend that championship against me?
14:18No.
14:19No.
14:20Wait a minute.
14:21All right.
14:22Whoa, yeah.
14:23If you're a man of your word, why not defend the title right here tonight?
14:28Why not tonight?
14:29Wait a minute.
14:30Wait a minute.
14:31Now, look, I was prepared-
14:33Did you bring your wrestling gear?
14:35No, be quiet.
14:36Look, obviously-
14:37You're a man of your word.
14:38I am a man of my word.
14:40Look, he's not prepared to wrestle.
14:43Would you wrestle like this if you had to?
14:45No.
14:46No, no, no.
14:47I can't.
14:48Would you?
14:49You might get hurt.
14:50I wouldn't want that.
14:51But you would, right?
14:52You would give me a title match right here, right now, if I had my stuff?
14:56Let me go get it.
14:59Then it's done.
15:00John.
15:01Yes.
15:02You said you're a man of your word.
15:04And we're gonna get it all.
15:07Right.
15:09Oh, yeah.
15:10Are you a man of your word?
15:12I'm a man of my word.
15:13Then the title match will take place right here tonight.
15:17Oh, no.
15:18On our Monday Night Raw.
15:20Battle lines are being drawn right now, Bobby Eden.
15:24I know I'm sexy.
15:26I've got the looks.
15:28The drive to go wild.
15:32I can't believe you conned him into something like that.
15:34I didn't do anything.
15:35We're live, ladies and gentlemen.
15:36Returning back to the Manhattan Center.
15:38Monday Night Raw.
15:39It's gonna happen, Macho Man.
15:40This is what life's all about.
15:42I've got chills.
15:43Marty Jannetty did the thing.
15:45Put him on the spot.
15:46Battle lines are being drawn.
15:48But forget Marty Jannetty.
15:49It shows you what a champion Shawn Michaels is.
15:52What a man of his word.
15:54What a man of his word.
15:55Let's go back up to action.
15:57Anything can happen here on Monday Night Raw.
16:00Michaels sliding into town now.
16:02The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
16:06Approaching the ring from Miami, Florida.
16:10Look at this.
16:11Razor does not want to be touched by a fan.
16:13Look.
16:17Uh-oh.
16:18His opponent.
16:20No, it doesn't matter.
16:21Almost anything can happen.
16:23Almost, yes.
16:24Would you let a Winnebago kiss you?
16:27Would you please be nice?
16:31All righty.
16:32Razor Ramon.
16:35I'll tell you, it's party time right now.
16:42Razor Ramon taking care of his gold.
16:45And Razor Ramon ready for individual competition.
16:47I got a question for you, Big Man.
16:49What's the kid's name this week?
16:51He has been changing his name a bit.
16:53Cannonball Kid, I believe.
16:55Hard luck, kid.
16:56Hard luck, whatever.
16:57I think he's too young to have two names.
16:59Kamikaze Kid.
17:00Let's just call him the kid.
17:02Toothpick.
17:03Yeah, Toothpick in the O.I. routine by Razor Ramon.
17:06He's already doing better than he ever has.
17:09Look at the disparity in the size here, this youngster.
17:12Come on.
17:13Razor Ramon is very, very, very strong.
17:16Yeah, and he's very, very, very confident.
17:19Yes, he is.
17:20Yes, he is.
17:21And very, very capable as well.
17:23He's the bad guy.
17:24And Razor Ramon pretty much at the moment.
17:27Manhandling this young man.
17:29Raw.
17:30Raw, raw, raw.
17:31The Smoking Gun's back.
17:32I hear something go off.
17:34Oh, my.
17:35Oh, and again.
17:38He will cut you to ribbons.
17:42And look at that.
17:43Look at that.
17:44Ladies and gentlemen, one-on-one for the Intercontinental title.
17:48Shawn Michaels defending against Marty Jannetty right here on Monday Night Raw.
17:53If nothing else, the kid just broke the pool ball record on that.
17:58Yeah, he may have.
17:59Do you think that was a surprise Alfred was talking about Scottie B?
18:02Well, it certainly wasn't his fourth wife, as you made reference to earlier.
18:06She wouldn't have made it up the stairs.
18:08There's another surprise on the third floor.
18:11Heedon, you're becoming a little frantic.
18:14He's on a cot.
18:15That's what he is.
18:17And Reyes-Ramon messing with the roundhouse and catches this youngster.
18:22And he's really punishing this young man.
18:23Watch this.
18:24Watch this move.
18:25Oh, my.
18:26I'll tell you what.
18:27The kid made a great move right there.
18:29Unfortunately, the other half didn't go his way.
18:32I guess not.
18:33Reyes-Ramon is just about ready to tear him in half.
18:36Reyes-Ramon playing around and having fun.
18:39You ever see the way a cat will get a bird caught and knock the feathers off it before it devours it?
18:44Same thing.
18:45Oh, my goodness.
18:46Whoa.
18:47Reyes-Ramon missing.
18:49Boy, he really came in with that elbow.
18:52And I think Reyes-Ramon stays.
18:54Oh, man.
18:55One, two, three.
18:59What is this?
19:00He got him.
19:01He got him.
19:02The kid can't believe he beat Reyes-Ramon.
19:05Ramon, look at this.
19:06He beat Reyes-Ramon.
19:07He beat Reyes-Ramon.
19:09Reyes-Ramon got beat.
19:11He got beat.
19:13He got an announcement.
19:14He retold it himself.
19:16Beat Ramon.
19:17It's all right.
19:18He got beat.
19:19Are you sure he counted?
19:20It's not over until it's over.
19:23Reyes-Ramon can't believe what happened to him.
19:26Reyes-Ramon is angry.
19:27Reyes-Ramon.
19:29Reyes-Ramon is-
19:30What happened, brother?
19:33Hey, you got beat, brother.
19:34What happened?
19:35No, brother, you got beat.
19:37He beat you.
19:38One, two, three.
19:39What happened?
19:40Where's number three?
19:41Where's number two?
19:42We'll be back as we continue.
19:43I don't understand what's going on here.
19:45Ramon Monday Night Raw.
19:46You got beat.
19:47That was one, two, three.
19:48You got this.
19:51We're back with Ramon Monday Night Raw.
19:53My goodness.
19:54That is-
19:55Honk.
19:56He's in the ring right there.
19:57Honk.
19:58Stop it.
19:59Stop it.
20:00I'll tell you what we can't believe.
20:01Can you believe that Reyes-Ramon was defeated by The Kid?
20:05What a traumatic experience for Reyes-Ramon.
20:08His strategy, whatever it was, backfired.
20:10Stop.
20:11Stop.
20:12Stop.
20:13You two guys are talking.
20:14I keep pin Razor in my mouth.
20:15That was a fast count.
20:16You know it.
20:17I know it.
20:18Are you kidding me?
20:19It was fair and square.
20:20One, two, three.
20:21And here comes the Native American.
20:22Entering the ring from Pembroke, North Carolina, weighing 250 pounds,
20:27Scott Taylor to meet the undefeated Native American.
20:32The Hall of Capacity crowd here in Manhattan.
20:50To find out what somebody is all about,
20:53Razor Ramon's been tasting defeat for the first time, the Tonka never has.
20:59I just sent one of my assistants back there to find out what's going down.
21:03They said you can't get back there.
21:04Ramon is living.
21:05You think Ramon is living?
21:08Isn't that something?
21:09What do you think's going on in the mind of Shawn Michaels?
21:11He doesn't want to defend the title, you know he doesn't.
21:13Look at that.
21:14Awesome.
21:14Tremendous clothesline just a moment ago.
21:16Yeah, what about Marty Jannetty?
21:17I forgot all about him.
21:18Yeah. What a great time.
21:19Don't forget that.
21:20Oh, back body drop.
21:22Can you imagine Jannetty right now?
21:24He's getting dressed, his stomach is turning, and he's thinking about Shawn Michaels.
21:28What do you think Michaels is thinking about?
21:29Yeah.
21:30Oh, my.
21:32There could be another upset tonight.
21:34There could be a new Intercontinental Champion right here on Raw.
21:37I agree.
21:38There could be.
21:39Look at this.
21:40From the apron.
21:41You go outside with this man, it means absolutely nothing.
21:43Because wherever you are is where the fight is.
21:46He'll take it right to you.
21:47He's on the warpath, no doubt about it.
21:51Tataka missing a couple of hunks of fur out of his skull, isn't he?
21:56Yeah, he qualified.
21:58The King of the Ring tournament.
22:00He's in there.
22:00You could be looking at a future King of the Ring in the WWF.
22:04Tataka.
22:06I got some information for both of you.
22:07I bet you don't know.
22:08What's that?
22:09Did you know that three out of four people who put their toilet paper on
22:14the roll put it from the top down rather than the top up?
22:2030% wrap it when they use it, 30% fold it, and 40% crumple it.
22:26Now, McMahon, are you a wrapper, a crumpler, or a folder?
22:30You know, I think that Heenan found his niche in society.
22:33Everybody's a specialist at something.
22:35I think Heenan's got this one nailed down.
22:37That would make me a- Yeah, that's exactly what it would make you.
22:41Scott Taylor off the rope.
22:42Tataka now has him.
22:44Nice power slam.
22:45Dropping right down to the canvas.
22:47Thus far, not a great deal of offense on the part of Scott Taylor.
22:51However, you can never tell if, in fact, Tataka misses one thing.
22:55Perhaps it would be just like Razor Ramon and the Kid a few minutes ago.
22:59Exactly, what it's getting down to now in the WWF is that everybody's winning
23:03by intimidation.
23:05Sometimes you can't never tell.
23:08What a chop.
23:11Jack Tunney right now should investigate the officiating here in the WWF.
23:16That was the worst officiating I've ever seen.
23:18What are you talking about?
23:18Razor Ramon, he never counted to three.
23:21I could have, he went one, two, and his shoulder was up at one and a half.
23:25I can see it from here.
23:26You could have counted the vibe, I think.
23:28I believe as well, yes.
23:31Off the rope, Tataka hooks, yes, nice maneuver.
23:34But what was the move he used?
23:34He got on the top rope, stood there with both feet, the Kid,
23:37did a double backflip in the air, crisscrossed in the-
23:41This is what's gonna happen to you.
23:43I don't know what happened.
23:44The way I see it, he flipped around 13 times and beat Razor Ramon.
23:49Exactly, and he didn't beat him.
23:51Well, you can call him a Kid, you can call him successful,
23:53you can call him the one, two, three Kid,
23:55because that's the way it's gonna go down in the annals of history.
23:58Don't start that now, because the fans will get behind something like that.
24:01They'll start calling him the one, two, three Kid.
24:03That'll drive Razor Ramon off the deep end, and someone will get hurt.
24:07Quitters never quit, quitters never win.
24:09The one, two, three Kid beat Razor Ramon.
24:11Look at this, off the rope now.
24:13What a top of heart chop on the top of the head.
24:16Tater having his problems on the warpath, and a nice chop again by Tataka.
24:22Getting ready for the King of the Ring.
24:23Off the rope, wow.
24:28I love it.
24:29The Indian is on fire.
24:31And this one, perhaps it's for you, Bam Bam, think alone, yes.
24:37He'll never get Bam Bam on his back.
24:39And a count of three, yeah.
24:42No, that was the way to count.
24:43Here is your winner, Tataka.
24:52Tataka victorious here, live on Monday Night Raw.
24:59Tataka, victorious at standing by right now.
25:06Alvin Jean Oakley with a special King of the Ring report.
25:10Hey, before we get to your King of the Ring report,
25:15what about this kid coming out of left field
25:19to knock off the season pro, Razor Ramon?
25:24And I can't believe the Intercontinental title
25:28being taken by the kid, Razor Ramon.
25:32And I can't believe the Intercontinental title
25:36bout being put together right here on Raw
25:39between champion Shawn Michaels and challenger Marty Jannetty.
25:43These guys make Carl Lewis look slow.
25:47Now then, the next big WWF pay-per-view event
25:50will be originating live from the heart of America in Dayton, Ohio,
25:55Sunday, June 13th at 8 o'clock Eastern.
25:58It's the first ever King of the Ring.
26:01The main event hits five-time World Wrestling Federation champion
26:05Hulk Hogan against Japan's most awesome power, 505-pound Yokozuna.
26:11Fans have anxiously been awaiting this one ever since WrestleMania 9.
26:17And of course, the big tourney that you've been reading
26:19about in magazines and newspapers, you hear about it on radio,
26:23you see it on TV, the buzz on the street
26:26is all about the King of the Ring itself.
26:29A one-night single elimination tournament
26:31with eight of the elite from the World Wrestling Federation meeting.
26:35One of whom, by the way, at the end of the night
26:38will be crowned the King of the Ring.
26:40Six of the eight headed for Dayton have already qualified.
26:44In the opening round of action,
26:46Bret the Hip Bad Heart meets Razor Ramon.
26:50Hacksaw Jim Duggan locks up with Ban-Ban Bigelow.
26:54And the narcissist Lex Luger tangles with Tatanka,
26:58the undefeated Native American.
27:00By the way, this weekend on WWF Superstars,
27:04in a non-title but a qualifying match,
27:07it's Shawn Michaels squaring off against the Big Hawaiian Crush.
27:11Also this coming weekend on Wrestling Challenge,
27:14in another qualifying match,
27:16Kamala meets Mr. Hughes.
27:18The winners of those matches would advance
27:20to the King of the Ring tournament.
27:22Again, the King of the Ring can be seen live on pay-per-view cable TV.
27:27Folks, it's not too early to contact the cable company
27:30you're watching right now.
27:32Then we'll see you on Sunday, June 13th at 8 p.m. Eastern,
27:365 Pacific, for the very first WWF King of the Ring.
27:41Right now, let's get back to more of Monday Night Raw
27:43with the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
27:45My good friend, Vince McMahon.
27:47You got it, Jim.
27:48Of course, my co-host on All-American Wrestling,
27:50Bobby the Brain Heenan.
27:51Bobby, I've got an old flame of yours
27:54joining us this weekend on All-American.
27:56Yes, sensational sherry.
27:58Hey, Macho Man, you think you should be watching out
28:01for a head scissors?
28:02Ooh, I got it.
28:03Or a sunset whip.
28:04Sexy.
28:06I like it.
28:07She's not going to, she's in love with me.
28:09She's always had it here for me, McMahon.
28:11Right.
28:12She drops to my feet.
28:13She faints.
28:14She swoons.
28:15Sweat pours off her head.
28:16She makes overtures, throws room keys.
28:18She can beat you up, too.
28:20And here he comes.
28:22Here comes a man who's going to squirt off
28:24against Yokozuna.
28:31Yeah, what a matchup this is going to be.
28:33Kamala squirting off against Yokozuna.
28:37We'll be back with more Monday Night Raw.
28:44The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
28:47In the ring from Uganda, weighing 390 pounds,
28:52the mighty Kamala.
28:55Kamala.
28:57Oh, yeah.
28:58He doesn't know what quite to make of this applause.
29:01He's writing himself for Yokozuna.
29:04Promotional consideration paid for by the following.
29:08Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
29:09Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
29:11Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
29:14Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
29:15Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
29:17You've got to want it.
29:20Tip.
29:22Got to have beef.
29:24Got to have spice.
29:25Need a little excitement.
29:27Snap into a Slim Jim.
29:28Oh, yeah.
29:33About to come down the aisle.
29:34Now this is going to be an extraordinary matchup.
29:37Bobby the Brain Heenan who takes this one, Kamala for the 505 pound Yokozuna.
29:47Well, I'm gonna have to go with Yokozuna.
29:49He's on a roll.
29:50You know that and I know that.
29:52Fuji hasn't focused on Hulk Hogan.
29:55Now, I think that Kamala's in for some real trouble.
29:59Slick's not at ringside.
30:01And you know as well as I, Yokozuna has never been slammed.
30:05Well, no question about that.
30:07And Kamala will love to slam you, then dive on you.
30:09He'll never get it done.
30:11And Macho Man, your assessment?
30:12First of all, I'd like to say that both these big guys should take out some
30:15disaster insurance because they're going against each other.
30:19But my personal favorite right here is the definite underdog, Kamala.
30:24And guess what, anything can happen.
30:25We just saw that with Razor Ramon.
30:27That is for sure, anything can happen.
30:29We are live from the Manhattan Center in New York City.
30:33Uncooked.
30:34Uncut.
30:35Unbelievable.
30:37Too bad.
30:38You can bet that the Hulkster is looking on as we speak.
30:43Because the big drawing closer and closer June 13 when the Hulkster
30:48must defend the WWF title for the first time since he won it.
30:52At WrestleMania against that same man, and I don't believe the scales anymore
30:57when they say Yokozuna only weighs 505 pounds.
31:00He's bulking up for the match.
31:02And I think this match has been made to get President Jack Cunning
31:05out of the hot seat.
31:07Really?
31:07Yeah, because of Bret Hart, Hitman Hart.
31:10You know, a lot of controversy there why he didn't get the rematch.
31:13But he's in the King of the Ring tournament.
31:15A lot of people didn't think that he should be top seeded.
31:17But hey, man, I mean, it's a triangle.
31:20You don't always bend over backwards for a former WWF champion.
31:24That's the way Tony operates.
31:25Be fair to somebody.
31:26Do things fair, the fair way.
31:29Give Yokozuna the belt, let him go back to Japan.
31:31Yeah, that's fair, sure.
31:32June the 13th ought to clear everything up.
31:35Kamala does not know what to make of this.
31:43Yokozuna- Two huge men about ready to collide here on Monday Night Raw.
31:50Listen to the sound of this.
31:53And here we go.
31:54He blinked.
31:58Wait a minute, he staggered Yoko.
32:01Unbelievable.
32:03I think you're right.
32:04Kamala perhaps with more balance than Yokozuna, I don't know.
32:07I think he caught him in the solar plexus or maybe tapped him on the chin.
32:10I don't know, but they're gonna try it again.
32:13It's like two elephants- And here we go, yes.
32:16And there he goes, come on, no, wait a minute.
32:20Kamala underneath, here he comes again, a kick to the chest.
32:25Kamala chopping away at Yokozuna.
32:28Yokozuna's reeling, Kamala with a series of chops.
32:32He's not down, though, we still understand- Anything can happen on Monday Night Raw.
32:35That collision when they had against each other almost broke the sound barrier.
32:42Fuji told me just the other day, Mr.
32:44Heenan's son, when Yokozuna enters the ring as the king of the ring, he will not weigh 505.
32:49I said, why, are you gonna get him down to about four and a half?
32:52He says, no, he will be bigger.
32:55And contrary to that, the Hoaxter's going the other way, so
32:58we understand, reports of the Hoaxter leaning out.
33:03Mr. Hogan, if you are watching right now, the man in the ring right now, Yokozuna.
33:08Whoa, forgot it, he is fresh.
33:12And he will be fresh the 13th when he steps in the ring against you,
33:16not like last time.
33:19By no doubt, there was a bit of a surprise element, to say the least,
33:22at WrestleMania.
33:23Bit of a surprise.
33:25Well, there certainly will not be here.
33:26One minute you got the golden ring, fame, fortune, millions.
33:3028 seconds later, your history.
33:32Kamala, chopping away again.
33:34Kamala now hits her up.
33:37You got this, with a forearm to the chest.
33:39Off the rope again, and Kamala chopping away.
33:42Look at this.
33:42Rip momentum.
33:43No, wait a minute.
33:44Fuji just grabbed Kamala.
33:46I didn't see him do that.
33:48What a maneuver.
33:50That was a home run.
33:52Goodness, look at that.
33:53Kamala.
33:57Caught off guard by Mr. Fuji.
33:59Here comes Yokozuna.
34:01Yes.
34:03A devastating maneuver.
34:05Uh-oh.
34:07Wait a minute now.
34:09Kamala's out.
34:10No, I think he's playing possum.
34:13I don't, he's not smart enough to play possum.
34:15He's not smart enough to play possum, he evens right.
34:17I don't know.
34:18Move, come on, Kamala, move, move.
34:22No, front row seat.
34:24Unbelievable.
34:27Hogan, Hogan, take a good look.
34:29Here is the winner, Yokozuna.
34:33Mr. Fuji distracting the Ugandan giant Kamala and
34:39well, the rest is history, Yokozuna.
34:43Delivering the goods here live on Monday Night Raw.
34:47Wow.
34:51And Bobby the Brain Heenan's favorite television show,
34:54quite naturally, is All American Wrestling.
34:57You know why?
34:58Why?
34:58I'm the host, I am here.
35:02All over America, people are watching All American Wrestling.
35:05That's because Bobby the Brain Heenan and
35:07myself are traveling all over the country to bring you
35:10the best action the World Wrestling Federation has to offer.
35:12I got tickets to New York, to Los Angeles, to Las Vegas, to Paris, even Mars.
35:17Mars?
35:17That's impossible, Bobby.
35:19The World Wrestling Federation said they'll spare no expense to make sure
35:22we're happy.
35:23Heenan and Bobby are hitting the road, Sundays on USA.
35:27Hey, you think the next time they could at least rent us a car?
35:30All right, Bobby Heenan,
35:34we understand that Sensational Sherry is gonna be a very special guest.
35:39You better not have her here.
35:40Why? Because she's gonna make advances towards me, she's gonna swoon.
35:44She may even pop the question.
35:46What question?
35:47Yeah, sure, she's gonna pop that question.
35:50Let's go back up to our ring announcer Howard Finko.
35:52Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for
35:58one call, it's for the World Wrestling Federation,
36:03it's for the International Championship.
36:07Shawn Michaels is ready to defend the Intercontinental Championship
36:12against Marty Jannetty.
36:14For Monday Night Raw.
36:16For Monday Night Raw.
36:25And Shawn Michaels in his unscheduled matchup, a man of his word, I suppose so.
36:30All right, here we go.
36:37I don't like this.
36:41You probably wouldn't like it, Marty Jannetty.
36:47Welcome back, Marty Jannetty.
36:49Out of nowhere, anything can happen to WWF.
36:53Razor Ramon defeated here earlier tonight live.
36:57The title is on the line.
37:02Shawn Michaels is a man of his word.
37:04Like Shawn Michaels says, no matter what the WWF has asked him to do, he's done it.
37:08He's made commitments to himself to become the WWF Intercontinental Champion,
37:12and he did it.
37:13This is just another ham and egger he's gonna take apart.
37:15Another ham and egger, please.
37:16Marty Jannetty is in terrific condition, lean and mean, look at him.
37:22And a nice block by Jannetty, Shawn Michaels to the buckle.
37:26Michaels with a reversal, Jannetty now, and, my, look at this.
37:30Yes, right there, no, yeah, that was close.
37:34That was close.
37:36Michaels now off the rope, Jannetty drops down, and leapfrog by Jannetty.
37:40From the backside now, Sunset Flip, raising one, two, whoa.
37:45That was close.
37:48Whoa, I can't believe that.
37:50We've already had one upset with Razor Ramon, we could be looking at another one.
37:54See, I don't like the way this looks.
37:55Same thing happened with Hogan and Yokozuna.
37:58They went in the ring, they challenged each other, they had a match,
38:00it wasn't sanctioned, Tony didn't give the okay.
38:01Wait a minute, this is sanctioned.
38:03There's no question about this one.
38:05How can it be?
38:06Because you heard Shawn Michaels say he was a man of his word.
38:09The title's on the line.
38:11I can't talk to you.
38:13Off the rope, Jannetty, Shawn Michaels waiting for him.
38:15No, look at that maneuver.
38:16Yes.
38:19What a move.
38:20And look at that.
38:22My goodness, Marty Jannetty is cleaning ass on Monday Night Raw.
38:27Shawn, remember, he's got to be you.
38:30You do not have to be in the- Look out, look out, look out.
38:33Yes, beautiful maneuver.
38:36The moment of truth is here.
38:38Look at that.
38:39Unbelievable, despite of Jannetty wants the title a lot.
38:42But he can't beat him on the floor.
38:44He's got to get him in the ring.
38:46So the capacity crowd on fire.
38:48They love the action here on Monday Night Raw.
38:54What could be running through Jannetty's mind now?
38:56You know what's running through his mind.
38:59Victory.
39:00Victory.
39:01Jannetty, Jannetty, Jannetty, Jannetty, Jannetty, Jannetty, Jannetty, Jannetty.
39:03Shawn Michaels may still be reborn, but look at this.
39:08Hard right hand.
39:10Back into the ring now.
39:11Marty Jannetty knows he cannot win this match via count out.
39:14He can win the match, but he can't win the title that way.
39:16He has to pin Shawn Michaels or make him submit.
39:19Uh-oh.
39:20Disqualification won't work.
39:22No, it's either a pin or submission.
39:24Look at that.
39:26Jannetty, Jannetty is on his game as we speak.
39:30Look at that.
39:32Fine head center, beautifully executed.
39:34Who knows Shawn Michaels better than Marty Jannetty?
39:40Nobody, except maybe, I don't know, Mr. Perfect.
39:46Knows him any better.
39:47Maybe not.
39:47I would say Marty Jannetty.
39:49Tag team partners for too long.
39:51And everything Jannetty knows, Shawn Michaels taught him.
39:54Michaels told me that.
39:55Mr. Perfect, no doubt, looking on here.
39:59He's up in the balcony here at some place.
40:01I think the whole world is watching this one.
40:04Shawn Michaels trying to figure a way to escape now.
40:11The head scissor.
40:11I know what Shawn's doing.
40:13What? He's taking his time.
40:14Yeah.
40:16Missing with the elbow.
40:16Well, maybe he wants to- And Michaels now.
40:20Off the rope, and back body drop.
40:22My.
40:26Jannetty hasn't stopped- Shawn Michaels up and over.
40:30My goodness.
40:31Unbelievable.
40:32Marty Jannetty and Ike are pro-no doubt doing the thing in the ring.
40:37Come on, Shawn, get up.
40:38Come on, Shawn.
40:39Last week, Shawn Michaels in a matchup with- Wait a minute, he's grabbing his belt.
40:44Adios.
40:44No, no, I can't believe it.
40:46What a lousy competitor he is.
40:48What do you mean a lousy competitor?
40:50He wasn't even supposed to wrestle that guy.
40:52I can't believe that.
40:53What a chicken.
40:55He may lose the match, but he's gonna save his title this week.
40:59No.
41:00Yes.
41:00Look at that.
41:01Talk about the death being stopped.
41:03Purple timing.
41:04Mr.
41:06Murphy blocking the way of Shawn Michaels.
41:11Michaels is gonna have to defend that title.
41:13He's gonna have to return to the ring.
41:16And he will when we return with more.
41:18I love that idea.
41:20I love that idea.
41:21Come on.
41:23Marty Jannetty and Shawn Michaels.
41:25Jannetty, we're back.
41:26We're live with more Monday Night Raw.
41:28It's been all Marty Jannetty and the action's been unbelievable.
41:31And a tap out back into the ring.
41:33Mr. Purple on the outside of the ring.
41:36What a maneuver on the part of Shawn Michaels.
41:41Tell you what, during that commercial break, was Marty Jannetty great or what, Heenan?
41:45He kept moving, I'll say this.
41:46But there's the man who blocked Shawn Michaels' exit from Raw.
41:51He had no business to.
41:52Exactly.
41:53What, is he a WWF official?
41:54It's all on the line here in Manhattan, New York City.
42:02I'll tell you, if Marty Jannetty pulls one off,
42:05New York City's not gonna be the same.
42:07Man, look at this.
42:09And left hand by Shawn Michaels, pouring it on, clobbering Marty Jannetty.
42:15No matter which way this one ends up, I say Mr.
42:20Perfect, the lumberjack of the century from last week and this week.
42:25He's a jackass of a century.
42:28Hey, hey, hey, hey, let's be nice.
42:30What did you get on our planet, Heenan?
42:33One, two.
42:35Things not looking good for Marty Jannetty at the moment.
42:37Shawn Michaels coming off and down.
42:39Goodness.
42:41Marty's hurt.
42:42Marty's down.
42:43Momentum has suddenly changed.
42:47Anything can happen on Monday Night Raw.
42:49Anything can happen in the WWF at any time.
42:53You blink and something major has happened.
42:55Here we have a special title match that was unscheduled.
42:59You never know what's gonna happen here.
43:01I hate it here.
43:02I know, you might even tell the truth one time.
43:04That man in control again, Shawn Michaels.
43:07I've never lied to you.
43:08No, I've never lied to the public.
43:10Yeah, right.
43:11Come on, Jannetty.
43:14Shawn Michaels wearing down Marty Jannetty bit by bit.
43:18Look at him cower.
43:20Cower? I beg your pardon?
43:21Look at Marty Jannetty, how he's cowering.
43:23Don't hit me, Shawn.
43:24I'm sorry, I've had enough.
43:24He's stuck, he's cowering, he's stuck.
43:26I can't beat you, I never could beat you, you know that.
43:28And what is Perfect doing still at ringside?
43:31Well, let's just say he has a ringside seat.
43:33I mean, goodness.
43:35In the event Shawn Michaels wants to make an untimely edge, he just may block him
43:38again.
43:39Here comes Shawn, no, what a beautiful drop kick.
43:42I'll tell you, that could have knocked him out right there.
43:45I guarantee he loosened his grinders on that one.
43:49And no, no, no, drop kick is caught.
43:53Jannetty caught the drop kick, did you see that?
43:56He hit the post.
43:59He did, he went all the way out, his forehead crashing into the ring post.
44:03My goodness.
44:04Cover him and the title's yours, Jannetty.
44:06Marty Jannetty, inching his way over.
44:09I don't like this.
44:09Mr. Perfect in capacity, crowd looking on.
44:12One, two.
44:13Yes, yes.
44:14No, no.
44:15Unbelievable.
44:16He kicked out, he got out.
44:17How he did it, I don't know, McMahon.
44:19Hard right hand now.
44:22He's running on fumes.
44:23Michaels reversing it.
44:23Jannetty.
44:24Yeah, that'll do it right there.
44:27Look at that.
44:28Jannetty going to work on Shawn Michaels.
44:29Should have went for the pin right there.
44:30There's a history here.
44:32That's what's gonna cost him the match, Savage.
44:34You're right.
44:35He didn't go for the pin there.
44:36Had he gone for it, he may have had him.
44:38You might be right.
44:39I know I'm right.
44:41Michaels now off the rope.
44:42Jannetty, missing with a roundhouse and what a power slam.
44:46Cover up and two and three.
44:47No, no, no.
44:49Unbelievable.
44:50I can't understand.
44:51This is incredible.
44:53Shawn Michaels is a great wrestler.
44:56What a matchup.
44:57And look at this maneuver.
44:59No, he faked him out.
45:00What a maneuver that was.
45:02Jannetty faked Shawn Michaels out.
45:04Battle gone.
45:04What?
45:05New champion, yes.
45:06No, no, no.
45:08That was similar to the move the kid did on Razor Ramon right there.
45:11Similar but not the same.
45:12Jannetty catching the butt, spinning Michaels around up in the air.
45:16All the way up.
45:18Nice reversal now.
45:19To the rope, hooks the hips, rolls him up.
45:21We get one, we get two, we get- Uh-oh, he's got him.
45:25Come on, ref, don't do, come on.
45:28Count of two and a kick out of the fissure he had him.
45:31Trying to get the win at the same time.
45:33That could do it right there.
45:34Well, it's almost ten o'clock.
45:35We should have seen the moon anyway by now.
45:38And tearing down a Mr. Perfect Shawn Michaels,
45:41Jannetty is knocked unconscious as a result of that big boot.
45:45Shawn, ignore him, ignore him.
45:48Stay with Jannetty, forget Perfect.
45:51Mr. Perfect has three minutes time.
45:54Wait a minute, he's recovered.
45:55Two, yes.
45:56No.
45:57What is this?
46:01We have a new Intercontinental Champion.
46:02The winner of this bout.
46:04Give him the belt.
46:06Give him the belt.
46:07We have a perfect interface.
46:09Marty Jannetty.
46:12Marty Jannetty.
46:14Marty Jannetty is the new Intercontinental Champion.
46:18You saw it live on Monday Night Raw.
46:22I don't believe it.
46:24All right, we'll see Mr. Perfect right back here next week.
46:26Squaring off against Dirk in a qualifying match for
46:29the King of the Ring Tournament.
46:31My goodness, this week here on Monday Night Raw.
46:33Could you believe Rey's Ramon defeated?
46:36Right at the edge of a lightning bolt.
46:37Take a chance.
46:38I love it. Excitement.
46:39Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
46:40What's gonna happen next week?
46:41Who cares?
46:42I love it.
46:43Monday Night Raw, yeah.
