00:00:00It's the greatest spectacle in sports entertainment.
00:00:29This is Wrestlemania.
00:00:30The 16th Wrestlemania on the air.
00:00:31Ladies and gentlemen, please rise as here to sing our national anthem, the WWF's own
00:00:32Lillian Garcia.
00:00:33Oh say can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's
00:00:34last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through
00:00:35the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
00:00:36And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
00:00:37Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
00:00:38Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of
00:00:39the brave?
00:00:40And the home of the brave?

00:08:29Ice-T, JR!

00:08:38Uh-oh!
00:08:40The following tag-team contest is scheduled for one fall!
00:08:44Introducing, at a combined weight of 592 pounds,
00:08:49The Big Boss Man and Bull, you hear that?
00:08:54They are, these guys have absolutely no sense of humor!
00:08:58I think you're right, King
00:08:59Big Boss Man and Bull Buchanan,
00:09:01Two men that have fought the relationship
00:09:04Back down in Georgia, we understand
00:09:07And I don't think they're up for the hoes tonight!
00:09:10Big Boss Man and Bull Buchanan together for the first time
00:09:13Here at WrestleMania
00:09:15To pick on the Godfather is D-O Brown
00:09:18They contrast in styles, they contrast in lifestyles
00:09:22As we kick off what promises to be
00:09:26The most electrifying WrestleMania of all time
00:09:31I'm already electrified!
00:09:32Look at that, look at that hole over there in the red!
00:09:34Woo-hoo!
00:09:35What a way to start a WrestleMania!
00:09:37Come over here, baby!
00:09:39I wish I had a swing like that in my backyard
00:09:43Woo!
00:09:44D-O Brown has been designated to kick it off here for his duo
00:09:48And it looks like Bull Buchanan
00:09:53Look at the size of Bull Buchanan
00:09:55Look at this guy's arms and shoulders, huge!
00:09:58Buchanan's about 6'7", maybe 6'8"?
00:10:01Probably about 300 pounds
00:10:03And D-O Brown sticking right hands
00:10:06Kicking off WrestleMania, the first
00:10:08Glimpse of offense here
00:10:12Boy, the atmosphere here is amazing
00:10:14Whoa!
00:10:15The attitude of the competitors is off the page
00:10:18As D-O Brown just scored with a
00:10:20Nice knockdown from the heel kick
00:10:22You said it, JR
00:10:23You could become a megastar instantly at WrestleMania
00:10:26Whoa!
00:10:28Certainly, WrestleMania is the one event
00:10:30In the WWF where you can earn legendary status in one night
00:10:38D-O Brown
00:10:39Back in exchange now with The Godfather
00:10:42Godfather
00:10:44A lot of colorful attire in this case
00:10:49Nice teamwork by The Godfather
00:10:51And D-O, head drop right in the face
00:10:55Godfather and D-O Brown isolating Bull Buchanan
00:10:59What about that outfit, Godfather?
00:11:01You'd look good in something like that, JR
00:11:03Well, you know, I never thought of that, King
00:11:05Oh, no!
00:11:06I'd want to wear that in private, I think
00:11:08Another tag made, here comes the veteran, The Big Boss Man
00:11:12The Big Boss Man
00:11:13A veteran of many WrestleManias
00:11:17If you go back in history, you'll see
00:11:20If you go back in history and look at The Godfather
00:11:22The Boss Man's record at WrestleManias is
00:11:24Sparkling
00:11:29I don't think The Godfather is too impressed there
00:11:32That winning record of The Boss Man
00:11:34That pleased Kentucky
00:11:35He got hose to impress
00:11:38That's Ice-T
00:11:42Admit it, JR
00:11:43When you heard Ice-T was here, you were thinking like
00:11:45Lipton or something, right?
00:11:46Or Snafu or something like that
00:11:47Yeah, I knew it, I knew it
00:11:49Ice-T's all over that new Aggression CD
00:11:51It's fantastic!
00:11:54Aggression CD's only been out a couple of weeks already
00:11:56In the top ten
00:11:58And now D'Lo Brown
00:12:00Finds himself in a very evil part of town
00:12:04Corner of The Boss Man and Bull Buchanan
00:12:08Uh-oh, his momma named him Barry
00:12:10His friends call him Bull
00:12:19Great right hands by D'Lo Brown
00:12:21Matter of fact, he wants everybody to call him Bull
00:12:23That goes for you, too
00:12:25Amazing agility by Bull Buchanan
00:12:28For a man 6'8", 300 pounds
00:12:30Leaping to the top rope
00:12:31Woo! Unbelievable!
00:12:34Tremendous balance and coordination
00:12:38By this huge man from
00:12:40Way down in Georgia
00:12:42The hose being shot
00:12:46One untagged
00:12:48The Boss Man licks the tag
00:12:49And the drop toe of D'Lo
00:12:50Right to the second rope
00:12:52Oh, look at this teamwork
00:12:57The Boss Man and Bull Buchanan
00:12:58Certainly on the same page
00:13:00There's the cover
00:13:01Oh, the Godfather
00:13:03Intervening before the three
00:13:09The fatal four-way elimination matchup
00:13:12For the WWF title
00:13:14Where every man must be eliminated
00:13:16By pinfall
00:13:17Where there will be no disqualifications
00:13:19And certainly, King, as you mentioned earlier
00:13:21A McMahon in every corner
00:13:23Right
00:13:24With their own agendas
00:13:25Quite frankly
00:13:26Look at this!
00:13:29Losing off in this capacity crowd
00:13:31Could this be enough?
00:13:32And D'Lo Brown
00:13:33Had to reach down to the reserve
00:13:35Part of his tank
00:13:36And get his shoulder up
00:13:39Gonna reach it down
00:13:40Look over there, Dale
00:13:41Look at the one in the red
00:13:42The hoe in the red
00:13:43Woo-hoo!
00:13:45Remember when you thought
00:13:46You could date a girl like her, Dale?
00:13:48Now you're just hoping
00:13:49She doesn't call you sir
00:13:51Hard right hand
00:13:52By the Godfather
00:13:54He got his eyes raked
00:13:55By Bull Buchanan
00:13:57Godfather trying to
00:13:58Slow down this
00:13:59This duel
00:14:01Of Buchanan and Boss Man
00:14:06This has not been a
00:14:10Nothing much more than a
00:14:12A fistfight in this matchup
00:14:13Hard Irish
00:14:14Fit for the turnbuckles
00:14:16Hard
00:14:17The whole ring moved
00:14:18About three inches
00:14:19D'Lo Brown
00:14:20Had to shake it loose here
00:14:21You don't want to be isolated
00:14:22Too long with
00:14:23Buchanan and Boss Man
00:14:26Boss Man going for a cover
00:14:28And D'Lo
00:14:29Able to kick out
00:14:30Before the three
00:14:32Well, you talk about
00:14:33The atmosphere today
00:14:34This has been an electric atmosphere
00:14:35This entire weekend
00:14:36Here at WrestleMania
00:14:37I mean, with the
00:14:38With the access
00:14:39And all of that
00:14:40It's been tremendous
00:14:41Fans from all over the world
00:14:42Have joined us
00:14:44Here, Hub
00:14:46And Bull
00:14:48As we said
00:14:51Fans from
00:14:54Eleven countries are here
00:14:55Which is absolutely amazing
00:14:56When you stop and think about it
00:14:58And they're watching live
00:14:59All over Europe right now
00:15:00We're even live in Australia
00:15:02It's ten o'clock in the morning
00:15:03In Australia right now
00:15:06Thirty-eight states
00:15:07Eleven countries
00:15:08And we're here
00:15:10Thirty-eight states
00:15:11Eleven countries
00:15:13Among the fans
00:15:14That are in the pond here
00:15:15As we speak
00:15:20Neither team really
00:15:21Has been able to gain a
00:15:23An elongated
00:15:25Offensive advantage
00:15:27You don't think
00:15:28Bull and the Boss Man
00:15:29Have an offensive advantage?
00:15:30I think they have an advantage
00:15:31Right now
00:15:33But they haven't been able
00:15:34To keep it
00:15:36They're starting to sustain it now
00:15:37We are the best!
00:15:39D'Lo needs to tag out
00:15:41In the worst way
00:15:44Boss Man with a sharp kick
00:15:45Right to the back of the head
00:15:46Of D'Lo Brown
00:15:48Godfather reaching for the tag
00:15:49Ready to accept it
00:15:51But Boss Man
00:15:52Look at the position
00:15:53Of the Boss Man
00:15:54Keeping his body
00:15:55Between D'Lo and the Godfather
00:15:59D'Lo trying to
00:16:01Cut in the corner here
00:16:02And got caught in mid-air
00:16:04This may be a
00:16:05Version of the XFL
00:16:06Fair catch
00:16:08Which won't exist
00:16:09Quite frankly
00:16:10Backbreaker
00:16:11Leg is up
00:16:12And D'Lo Brown again
00:16:14For the third or fourth time
00:16:15In this matchup
00:16:16That he has had to kick out
00:16:17Before the three
00:16:23You're talking a little football
00:16:24Let me talk a little baseball
00:16:25Did you see me with
00:16:26Pete Rose earlier?
00:16:27Yeah, I sure did
00:16:28I'm a little worried
00:16:29About Pete
00:16:30What do you think
00:16:31Is on Pete's mind?
00:16:32Oh, I know what's on his mind
00:16:33Hey!
00:16:34I think Pete's got
00:16:35A bad memory
00:16:36I think when he sees Kane
00:16:37He sees Bud Selig
00:16:38Or something
00:16:39He told me he brought me
00:16:40A baseball bat as a souvenir
00:16:41But he wouldn't give it to me
00:16:42He said he'd give it to me
00:16:43After WrestleMania
00:16:44What do you think
00:16:45He's going to do with that bat?
00:16:46Well, I got a couple of ideas
00:16:48What he might try to do
00:16:49With that bat
00:16:50Poor Pete
00:16:51Get back in the ring
00:16:52Let's go
00:16:53Get back in the ring
00:16:54Uh-oh
00:16:55Uh-oh
00:16:56And, oh, look at this
00:16:57A huge man
00:16:58Oh, the Godfather
00:16:59Checking the ropes
00:17:00And you saw
00:17:01Where Bull landed
00:17:03We have no use
00:17:04Uh-oh, look out
00:17:07D-Low climbing up top
00:17:08Come on!
00:17:09And D-Low has it
00:17:10Come around it
00:17:11And look at the little shock
00:17:13And surprise
00:17:14On the face
00:17:15Of Bull Buchanan
00:17:16I don't think Bull
00:17:17Thought that was still left
00:17:18In D-Low
00:17:19I didn't think it either
00:17:20D-Low Prince
00:17:21Out of desperation
00:17:22Got that big offensive move in
00:17:24Buchanan staggering
00:17:25Oh, and D-Low
00:17:27Here we go!
00:17:28To the Godfather
00:17:29Uh-oh
00:17:33Godfather
00:17:34Oh, oh, honey
00:17:35What high elevation
00:17:36Down goes the Bossman
00:17:40And the
00:17:41Oh, the engineer of the whole train
00:17:44That's what he's looking for
00:17:46All aboard
00:17:49Uh-oh, wait a minute
00:17:50Oh, there we go
00:17:51Uh-oh
00:17:52Bossman's turning first
00:17:53And getting that comeback
00:17:54Look
00:17:56Woo!
00:17:57Oh, yeah!
00:17:59Ho-Tran on the Bossman
00:18:01Finish him off, D-Low
00:18:02Oh, D-Low
00:18:04Hey, wait a minute, look out!
00:18:06And Buchanan
00:18:07Uh-oh
00:18:08Shoving D-Low off the top turn
00:18:09Lucky for D-Low
00:18:10He landed on his feet
00:18:13Buchanan and the Godfather
00:18:14On the outside
00:18:15D-Low Brown
00:18:16Scores with a drop kick
00:18:17Bossman bounces right back up
00:18:20Oh, so
00:18:21Out of nowhere
00:18:22The sidewalk slammed by
00:18:23The Bossman
00:18:25Buchanan on top
00:18:27What a leg drop
00:18:28Right off the top
00:18:29For the 300-pounder
00:18:33Here are your winners
00:18:34The Big Bossman
00:18:36And Bob Buchanan
00:18:41You don't have much of a chance
00:18:42When
00:18:43With the Big Boss
00:18:45Hey, wait
00:18:46Wait a minute
00:18:47Bossman and
00:18:48And Bob Buchanan
00:18:49Heading toward the Godfather's home
00:18:51Come over here, girls
00:18:52This way
00:18:53I don't think it's gonna be a so-so call
00:18:55Come back
00:18:58Looks like the Bossman
00:18:59And Buchanan are stalking
00:19:01The Godfather's ladies
00:19:02Uh-oh
00:19:04The diamond's in line
00:19:05The big diamond
00:19:06Yeah, but I got this big diamond
00:19:08Yeah, that set me back a little bit, too
00:19:11It was pretty sweet, though
00:19:12I mean
00:19:13Think about it
00:19:14The McMahon-Helmsley era
00:19:16Puts on the biggest Wrestlemania
00:19:17Of all time
00:19:19And we are both
00:19:20World Wrestling Federation champs
00:19:22Going into it
00:19:23Just doesn't get any better than this
00:19:25It does not
00:19:27You know, you'd think they
00:19:28Seem to be a little bit relaxed
00:19:29Considering what's all on the line tonight
00:19:31In that Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match-Up
00:19:33You're right
00:19:34The atmosphere is electric
00:19:35But they seem very laid back
00:19:37In the McMahon-Helmsley dressing rooms
00:19:39A little bit
00:19:41Thought-provoking, quite frankly
00:19:42Why would Triple H be so relaxed
00:19:44Knowing that this match-up tonight
00:19:46Is no disqualification
00:19:48What do you think they are?
00:19:49Could be a plan
00:19:51Triple H has always got a plan
00:19:53I can guarantee you that
00:19:54Very cerebral
00:19:55No doubt about it
00:19:56Ladies and gentlemen
00:19:57Earlier today
00:19:58Our referees had a conference
00:19:59With the participants
00:20:00In tonight's Hardcore Battle Royal
00:20:02To go over the rules
00:20:04All right, Crash
00:20:05The 24-7 hold on that Hardcore title
00:20:07Is over tonight
00:20:08Right here at Wrestlemania
00:20:09As you put the belt up
00:20:11In a Hardcore Battle Royal
00:20:14Now, I want all you guys to understand
00:20:16There are rules to this Battle Royal
00:20:18For the Hardcore title tonight
00:20:19And I want you to listen up
00:20:21Rule number one
00:20:22There's a 15-minute time limit
00:20:24Which we'll be strictly adhered to
00:20:26Rule number two
00:20:27Within that 15 minutes
00:20:29There could be as many
00:20:31Belt changes as there might be
00:20:33Within that time frame
00:20:34It could be one
00:20:35Could be two
00:20:36Could be ten times
00:20:40Or maybe not at all, Crash
00:20:43Okay, so
00:20:44When the time runs out
00:20:46So do your chances
00:20:47To be Hardcore Champion
00:20:49Have a good match
00:20:51We'll see you out there
00:20:55Well, that was earlier today
00:20:56Ladies and gentlemen
00:20:58The match will last 15 minutes
00:21:00Come hell or high water
00:21:02The title can change hands
00:21:03Any number of times
00:21:04And whomever is the champion
00:21:06At the end of 15 minutes
00:21:08Leads to the gold
00:21:09There are 15 men
00:21:11In this Hardcore Battle Royal
00:21:15The following contestant
00:21:16Is the Hardcore Battle Royal
00:21:18For the World Wrestling Federation
00:21:20Hardcore Championship
00:21:22Introducing the challengers
00:21:24First, from the Red Hood Center
00:21:26In Brooklyn, New York
00:21:27Weighing 248 pounds
00:21:30Kaz
00:21:34Kaz using that 13
00:21:35As a part of his logo
00:21:36Kadabian Omen
00:21:37With a 13-minute battle royal
00:21:38Weighing 456 pounds
00:21:41Kisara
00:21:43Obviously, Kane, the biggest man
00:21:44In this battle royal
00:21:46If he gets his hands up
00:21:47Poor little Crash
00:21:48Oh, it'll be an awful sight
00:21:53He's number one
00:21:57From Greenwich, Connecticut

00:22:00Rodney
00:22:01Joey Ives

00:22:03Steve
00:22:04Oakley
00:22:05Three members of the posse
00:22:06To compete
00:22:07In this Hardcore Battle Royal
00:22:10I wonder if they can get
00:22:11On the same page
00:22:12Or is that too much to ask
00:22:13I think so
00:22:14I think these guys
00:22:15Got room chemistry
00:22:16Like you, JR
00:22:19From Brooklyn, New York
00:22:20Come on
00:22:22Hardcore Holly
00:22:24Uh-oh
00:22:26Hardcore Holly knows
00:22:27What it's like to be
00:22:28Hardcore Champion
00:22:29And of course, this cousin, Crash
00:22:31Is the reigning
00:22:33WWF Hardcore Champion
00:22:35At least, as we go in
00:22:36To this matchup
00:22:38You think that doesn't eat away
00:22:39At hardcore stomach?
00:22:41From Japan
00:22:43Togo Michinoku
00:22:45And Uesugi
00:22:46Uesugi
00:22:50These two young men
00:22:51I'm sure will take every chance
00:22:52In the world
00:22:55To gain the honor
00:22:56And respect, the notoriety
00:22:57In their native land
00:22:58As WWF Hardcore Champions
00:23:03Introducing
00:23:04Moss and Crusher
00:23:06The Hitmongers
00:23:08And the former
00:23:09WWF Tag Team Champions
00:23:11Looking to regain
00:23:12Their title glory
00:23:14One could walk out
00:23:15Of here
00:23:16As the Hardcore Champion
00:23:17And that's the outfit
00:23:18You should have worn
00:23:19Tonight, JR
00:23:21Thought about
00:23:22Clashing my hat
00:23:24Taking the ring
00:23:25From Korea
00:23:27Baruch
00:23:28Radsar
00:23:29The Acolytes
00:23:31Oh my
00:23:32They don't get any leaner
00:23:33They don't get any tougher
00:23:35Than Baruch and Radsar
00:23:36The Acolytes
00:23:39I think they love to
00:23:40They love to fight
00:23:41More than they like to eat
00:23:42Not as far as Bruce eats
00:23:43But certainly more than
00:23:44They like to eat
00:23:46They always need
00:23:47Their money
00:23:50And
00:23:51The World Wrestling Federation
00:23:53All Gold Champion
00:23:55RADSAR
00:23:59I know what you're thinking
00:24:00You look at Cornell Cox
00:24:01And think
00:24:02How does he stand a chance
00:24:05What's wrong with these
00:24:06Monsters out here
00:24:07Indeed he is
00:24:08The Houdini of Hardcore
00:24:10He has escaped
00:24:11From every predicament
00:24:12But this may be
00:24:13Even more
00:24:14For Crash Hawley
00:24:15To endure
00:24:16He is fearless
00:24:18And Crash Hawley
00:24:20In the ring
00:24:21The Battle Royale
00:24:22Underway
00:24:23He's fearless
00:24:24He's so small
00:24:25He's so short
00:24:26As a matter of fact
00:24:27His hair smells like feet
00:24:28But he'll get right in there
00:24:29Tie it up with a face
00:24:31Close the clock
00:24:32On your screen
00:24:33This match will last

00:24:56Fifteen minute match
00:24:57Now the target
00:24:58Will be Taz

00:25:02This continues
00:25:03Right?
00:25:04It continues

00:25:16In or out
00:25:17Of the arena
00:25:18Hey
00:25:19Viscera
00:25:20Just
00:25:21Viscera
00:25:22Just took down Taz
00:25:23What?
00:25:24Here is the new
00:25:25Hardcore champion
00:25:26Viscera
00:25:28What the heck?
00:25:29Viscera close to
00:25:30Five hundred pounds
00:25:32Well he's a mountain
00:25:33To climb now
00:25:34The new
00:25:35Hardcore champion
00:25:36That was like
00:25:37A thirty second
00:25:38Total ring
00:25:39Ow
00:25:40Said hello
00:25:41To his cousin
00:25:43So
00:25:44Viscera is the
00:25:45Hardcore champion
00:25:47At least
00:25:48For the time being
00:25:50Can Viscera
00:25:51Hold on
00:25:52This next
00:25:53Thirteen and a half
00:25:54Minutes
00:25:55What are you doing
00:25:56With an umbrella?
00:25:57It never rains
00:25:58In California
00:25:59Oh
00:26:00Telephones
00:26:01And
00:26:02Fans

00:26:05There was an umbrella
00:26:07Hey guys
00:26:08There's your champion
00:26:09I'm not so sure
00:26:10I don't think anybody
00:26:11Wants any of Viscera
00:26:12To you
00:26:13I think they may be
00:26:14Avoiding Viscera
00:26:15At least one on one
00:26:16Oh
00:26:17Joey Adams
00:26:18Oh
00:26:19The posse now
00:26:20They finally wise up
00:26:21Using some weapons
00:26:22To attempt to
00:26:23Subdue
00:26:24The hardcore champion
00:26:25Viscera
00:26:27Watch it
00:26:28Oh
00:26:29No speeding in that
00:26:31Ow

00:26:33Uh oh
00:26:34Crashes Viscera
00:26:36Slow it down
00:26:38Look at that
00:26:39Look at that weapon
00:26:40The Oclox
00:26:41And the Oclox
00:26:42Focusing on Viscera
00:26:43That's not good for
00:26:44You folks scoring at home
00:26:45That had Viscera
00:26:46In your office pool
00:26:48I'm telling you
00:26:49These hardcore matches
00:26:50Anything can happen
00:26:51This is dangerous
00:26:52Look out
00:26:53They may be coming over here
00:26:55Oh
00:26:56Crash Holley's cousin
00:26:57Hardcore has

00:27:01I mean
00:27:04Crash is
00:27:05Is beating heavily
00:27:06That family is something else
00:27:08They're almost as dysfunctional
00:27:09As the McMahons
00:27:15Crash told me earlier
00:27:16He'd never felt better
00:27:17Got a good night's sleep
00:27:18For the first time in a month
00:27:19Can eat his cereal this morning
00:27:20Without looking over his shoulder
00:27:22He's in a lot of trouble now
00:27:24This looked like a Saturday night
00:27:25On a payday weekend
00:27:26In Muskogee
00:27:29For Coupon Night at Sizzler
00:27:32Crash
00:27:33Oh Crash

00:27:39And look at the car
00:27:40He's outside the ring
00:27:43Car wreck
00:27:44And Viscera holding on
00:27:45He's been the hardcore champion now
00:27:46A couple of minutes
00:27:54Do not get this hit
00:27:57Headbanger Marshall
00:27:58With a box fan
00:28:02Good Lord
00:28:03Viscera is actually
00:28:04Getting a little too close
00:28:05For comfort here
00:28:07And Warden just
00:28:08Got a shot to the head
00:28:09By Bradshaw
00:28:11Bradshaw
00:28:12And Pete Gass

00:28:31There goes Viscera
00:28:33Hardcore Harley
00:28:34Got a near fall
00:28:35On the outside
00:28:36Remember falls
00:28:37Count anywhere
00:28:38Is Viscera still the champion?

00:28:43Moss of the headbangers
00:28:44With a cover

00:28:51Any number of falls
00:28:53The man who is
00:28:54A hardcore champion
00:28:55When the time expires
00:28:56Walks away with a goal
00:28:59Woo

00:29:04Seen anything quite like this

00:29:35At 500 pounds
00:29:36The biggest man
00:29:37In this battle royal
00:29:38Absolutely no way
00:29:39To watch it back
00:29:40In a match like this
00:29:42And there's going to be
00:29:43Plenty of assistance
00:29:44Just out
00:29:45When this one is all

00:30:06Taz's head
00:30:07In that
00:30:08In that piece of metal
00:30:15Viscera trying to
00:30:16Climb back in the ring
00:30:17That may be the
00:30:18Safest place in the building
00:30:19I don't know
00:30:21Maybe not
00:30:26Hello
00:30:28Look at Viscera
00:30:29Standing tall
00:30:31What are those
00:30:32Baking sheets or something
00:30:36This was like a
00:30:37A planet
00:30:38And everybody's
00:30:39Orbiting around him
00:30:40He is a champ
00:30:41What would he be
00:30:42Uranus
00:30:45What kind is that
00:30:46Baruch
00:30:49Baruch take

00:35:07Hey, you can hear these shots just echoing all over this arena!
00:35:14Taz firing back with the right hand on Hardcore-Holic!
00:35:19He's been eating at Hardcore-Holic for quite some time!
00:35:22His cousin heading the Hardcore Championship and not cousin Bob-Holic!
00:35:28I think I see a speed limit sign, I think I see a stop sign over there!
00:35:31Hand me that!
00:35:32Let me hold that up!
00:35:33Oh man!

00:35:56And Taz!
00:35:57I think Taz may just hold on here!

00:36:05And the Holic cousin now double-teaming Taz!
00:36:08Oh my gosh!
00:36:09Single-leg takedown!

00:36:34Taz now carries a human wrecking machine!
00:36:37I don't...
00:36:38What are you doing?
00:36:39Taz must have a...
00:36:40He must have his bell rung!
00:36:41He doesn't need to cover anybody!

00:37:05Oh!
00:37:08Crash-Holic went for the cover!
00:37:09His cousin Hardcore made sure it didn't consummate the three!

00:44:27you just can't rush that
00:44:29you just can't rush that
00:44:31anyway, like I was saying

00:44:35you can go to a pay-per-view event
00:44:37you can do things like that
00:44:39but what happens is

00:49:36JR, what happened?
00:49:38something happened to JR's headset

00:49:56T and A, wow, check it out
00:49:58I hope you haven't screwed this up too badly

00:50:08here, try mine
00:50:10oh, you can't have mine
00:50:14JR, in the meantime
00:50:16you're missing a heck of a match here
00:50:20we're missing Trish Stratus
00:50:22I thought you said she was going to come over here
00:50:24and sit down beside us and join us on commentary
00:50:28are you there yet JR?
00:50:30I've got an audio dilemma, look we're alright now
00:50:34you didn't mess things up too badly, did you?
00:50:38I didn't hear what I said about you
00:50:40nice move by Al Snow
00:50:42Al Snow taking down this huge Albert
00:50:44cover and test
00:50:46making sure that the 3 didn't go down
00:50:50both these teams have high goals
00:50:52high aspirations, no doubt about it
00:50:54certainly a win here at Wrestlemania
00:50:56will be very important
00:50:58for their future standings
00:51:00here in the WWF
00:51:04and this Albert is a huge man, isn't he kid?
00:51:06oh, nice move by Blackman
00:51:08getting a
00:51:10lot of leverage off the ropes
00:51:16JR!
00:51:18did you say that Trish Stratus
00:51:20was going to come over and join us?
00:51:22no, I didn't say that
00:51:24I think that's how I screwed your head
00:51:26I pulled one out that she could use
00:51:28and all of a sudden you went off the air
00:51:30nice takedown by Blackman
00:51:32that sweeping motion of Blackman
00:51:34taking down Prince Albert
00:51:36or Albert we should say now
00:51:38shot there by Test
00:51:42this match is
00:51:44it's hard to
00:51:46nobody's really gained any kind of advantage here
00:51:48is it?
00:51:50elevation
00:51:52Test on the outside
00:51:54and a chop
00:51:56downstairs with Blackman and Al Snow
00:51:58Al Snow
00:52:00dropkick keeping Test
00:52:02out of the ring and the team of
00:52:04well I wouldn't say head cheese officially
00:52:06yeah, go ahead and say it
00:52:08I don't know how you can say anything else
00:52:10with this big block of cheese
00:52:12standing right in front of us here
00:52:14actually sort of a little block of cheese
00:52:18he is
00:52:20this could be the new mascot
00:52:22you think King
00:52:24if it works out for Blackman and Snow
00:52:26yeah, I think it's great
00:52:28how would he look going through an airport?
00:52:30head cheese
00:52:32that would smell
00:52:34better question
00:52:36well from where I said he didn't smell too sweet
00:52:38I think that's some Limburger cheese
00:52:42nice double team
00:52:44by Snow and Blackman
00:52:46knocking down Prince Albert
00:52:48Snow and Blackman have isolated Prince
00:52:50that was
00:52:52headbutt
00:52:54found its mark
00:52:56cover and another near fall
00:52:58this time by Blackman on Albert
00:53:00Albert who
00:53:02played football at Pitt
00:53:04size 8 and 3 eighths football
00:53:06look at Chester
00:53:08what's his name, Chester McCheeserton
00:53:10yeah, Cheesy
00:53:12he's grabbing Trish Stratus
00:53:14like Chester the molester
00:53:16leave your hands off her
00:53:18he's an electric son of a gun
00:53:20isn't he
00:53:22that was a low blow
00:53:24Blackman says he got the inside of the leg
00:53:26I don't think so
00:53:28Blackman
00:53:30that referee Teddy Long
00:53:32allowed this one to continue
00:53:34it looked like a low blow to me
00:53:36but in any event
00:53:38Albert is having his problems here
00:53:42Snow off the top
00:53:44the sledge right to the spine
00:53:46of this huge individual
00:53:48I think Albert needs us to take a look
00:53:50over here in his corner
00:53:52and take a gander at Trish Stratus
00:53:54nice double arm suplex by the big man
00:53:56doesn't fire anybody up
00:53:58Blackman and Snow make another exchange
00:54:00and so does
00:54:02Test is in
00:54:06Test out there on the apron a long time
00:54:08sidewalk slam
00:54:10that could be all there
00:54:12and Blackman makes sure it's not
00:54:14Test is very impressive
00:54:16there goes Blackman to the outside
00:54:20what are we going to do here
00:54:22doesn't look good
00:54:24Snow
00:54:26Al Snow just drilled
00:54:28like a fence post
00:54:30and Blackman back in
00:54:34Blackman now
00:54:36in the ring
00:54:38these two styles certainly are
00:54:40conflicting here
00:54:42this match has those bowling shoe tendencies
00:54:44it's somewhat ugly
00:54:48nice Al Saeed moonsault
00:54:50by Al Snow
00:54:52on Albert
00:54:54well if the match looks like a bowling shoe
00:54:56maybe we can get a shot at Trish Stratus
00:54:58he certainly doesn't look like a bowling shoe
00:55:00this could be all the end is near
00:55:04and this is not what Trish Stratus had in mind
00:55:06at her first Wrestlemania
00:55:08in the corner
00:55:10and Albert in
00:55:12Trish with a big sigh of relief
00:55:14the bottom just fell out for Al Snow
00:55:16how did he get up from that
00:55:20Al Snow clotheslined over the top
00:55:24Al Snow
00:55:30scoop slam by
00:55:32Albert
00:55:34nice teamwork by TNA
00:55:36and Al Snow
00:55:38this time interrupts
00:55:42unfortunately going on
00:55:44out of the referee didn't get a 3 count
00:55:48heard a trip
00:55:50and the little cheesy guy
00:55:52making some unwanted advances
00:55:54toward Trish Stratus
00:55:58or somebody
00:56:00put him back in
00:56:02in storage
00:56:06Al Snow thrown over the railing
00:56:08Al Snow now in the front row
00:56:12and Blackman
00:56:14nailed the elbow off the top
00:56:16right in the heart of Blackman
00:56:18came Ted
00:56:20here are your
00:56:22winners TNA
00:56:28two teams that really didn't get it on track here
00:56:32but in any event TNA
00:56:34with Trish Stratus
00:56:36those two men put a smile on her face
00:56:38I'm sure you're envious of that

00:57:38oh
00:57:40what the heck

00:58:30in the first ever triangle ladder match
00:58:32we'll find out their answer with Michael Cole
00:58:34on Bubba Ray tonight
00:58:36you're right Michael
00:58:38tonight is the night
00:58:40but you know something
00:58:42it seems like the WWF
00:58:44is always trying to put the Dudley boys down
00:58:46putting us in a ladder match
00:58:48yeah I don't like ladders
00:58:50and I'm a little afraid of heights
00:58:52but I'm going to forget all about that
00:58:54because tonight at Wrestlemania
00:58:56the Dudley boys
00:58:58will still remain
00:59:00the WWF tag team champions
00:59:02testify Bubba
00:59:04tonight
00:59:06the Dudley boys
00:59:08take Wrestlemania
00:59:10to a whole new
00:59:12level
00:59:14tonight the Dudley boys
00:59:16take the ladder
00:59:18match to a whole
00:59:20new level
00:59:22of violence
00:59:24when the dust settles
00:59:26and when the Dudley boys
00:59:28are heading out with those tag
00:59:30straps around their waist
00:59:32it'll be then that the hardys
00:59:34and edged christian realize
00:59:36that thou
00:59:38shall not
00:59:42with the Dudleys
00:59:44my brother
00:59:46testify
00:59:48he thinks you know me
00:59:52it should be an amazing
00:59:54offensive display
00:59:56I expect we're going to see
00:59:58more high risk
01:00:00perhaps any of us
01:00:02have ever seen
01:00:04in those royal gold featherlights
01:00:06of the world wrestling federation
01:00:08tag team championship
01:00:10introducing first
01:00:12on the tall plate
01:00:14of 462 pounds
01:00:16Christian
01:00:18and Bill
01:00:20let's turn it around on heat
01:00:22live on the USA network
01:00:24the hardys were having an interview
01:00:26with Kevin Kelly speaking about this matchup
01:00:28when they were interrupted by edged christian
01:00:30and then we saw this
01:00:32now
01:00:34we saw the hardys interrupt
01:00:36edged christian's little interview there
01:00:38we got an early preview of what this match
01:00:40is going to be about JR
01:00:42and to tell you
01:00:44Wrestlemania 6 in Toronto
01:00:46when he was in junior high
01:00:48he's in a ring style
01:00:50now he's competing
01:00:52for the tag team title
01:00:58from Clifford, North Carolina
01:01:00at a combined weight of 429 pounds
01:01:02Matt
01:01:04and Jim
01:01:06the holy one
01:01:08as we heard not unlike
01:01:10Mick Foley
01:01:12bad luck
01:01:14he always said going under a ladder was bad luck
01:01:16I guess the hardys are as fearless
01:01:18as they say they are
01:01:20not superstitious whatsoever
01:01:22not unlike Mick Foley the hardys dream
01:01:24of making it to the WWF
01:01:26specifically
01:01:28in winning the tag titles
01:01:30at Wrestlemania
01:01:36the hardys got there
01:01:38at a combined weight of
01:01:40456 pounds
01:01:42the world wrestling best
01:01:44Matt
01:01:46and Jim
01:01:48the good boy
01:01:50they are the tag team champions
01:01:52this match ends
01:01:54when someone climbs the ladder
01:01:56and takes the tag title belt
01:01:58in their possession
01:02:00the W's relinquish the
01:02:02WWE title
01:02:04so the title belt can be hung
01:02:06approximately 20 feet
01:02:08above the ring
01:02:10oh look at this
01:02:12it's starting
01:02:14getting right back to the business of the hardys
01:02:16Matt and Jeff Hardy
01:02:18ladders are illegal
01:02:20everything legal here
01:02:22this is the end
01:02:24when one team has secured the
01:02:26WWF tag title belts
01:02:28which are hung high above the ring
01:02:30you're right they are
01:02:32you can expect some hardys
01:02:34like we've never seen before
01:02:36these six men
01:02:38making their Wrestlemania debuts
01:02:40these six men wanting to make their mark
01:02:42in sports entertainment
01:02:44this is the platform to get it done
01:02:46some are successful
01:02:48some are not
01:02:52now
01:02:56Ivan Dudley at edge in the ring
01:02:58remember there will be no tagging here
01:03:00very untraditional
01:03:02matchup
01:03:04even though it is for the WWF tag team
01:03:06titles there will be no tagging
01:03:08in this matchup and this is
01:03:10almost like that hardcore battle royale
01:03:12I mean there is so much action going on
01:03:14it's hard to concentrate on
01:03:16any two men at once
01:03:18ow
01:03:20Jeff Hardy
01:03:22exposing the chest of Jeff Hardy
01:03:24you may not be able to see it all
01:03:26but you can sure hear it all
01:03:28look at this
01:03:30moonsault
01:03:32beautiful move
01:03:34nice springboard action there by Jeff Hardy
01:03:36look out
01:03:38tremendous elevation
01:03:42and
01:03:44it's an atomic drop
01:03:46who's the man
01:03:48I tell you what
01:03:50whether we like or do not like
01:03:52these damn Dudleys
01:03:54they are an extraordinary combination
01:03:56you got that right
01:03:58they may have fallen out of the family tree
01:04:00but they are supposed to be reckoned with
01:04:02ladder ladder ladder
01:04:04ladder ladder

01:04:08it's Matt Hardy
01:04:10how many ladders we got out here
01:04:12there are ladders all over the place here
01:04:14there will be no shortage of ladders
01:04:16I don't think
01:04:18I think I counted a dozen
01:04:20in various places
01:04:22around the ring
01:04:24from somebody
01:04:26who's going to go to the top
01:04:28who's going to get the title belts
01:04:30the championship belts
01:04:32that are suspended above the ring
01:04:34that's what it's all about here
01:04:38Jeff
01:04:40Armadullo face throws into the top turnbuckle
01:04:42Matt calling out for his brother Jeff
01:04:44look at these Hardys

01:05:06here we go
01:05:08starting to get nasty now JR

01:05:12weapon legally

01:05:18place you want to be
01:05:20that's the tag team titles

01:05:44nice DDT
01:05:46Jeff Hardy with a DDT
01:05:48second down Bubba Ray Dudley
