00:00Welcome everyone to the World Wrestling Federation on USA!
00:28Welcome to Monday Night Raw!
00:33Vince McMahon here along with Jim Ross and take a look if you would at this extraordinary athlete, Lex Luger!
00:41What a weekend Lex Luger just had, Vince.
00:45Co-winners of the WWF Royal Rumble for the first time in World Wrestling Federation history.
00:50Lex Luger and Brett the Hitman Hart, I know it's my first Rumble and one that I will never, ever forget.
00:56And also Luger's very first as well.
00:59Many of you saw the Royal Rumble last Saturday night on pay-per-view.
01:04What a weekend it was for Lex Luger to draw a pretty decent number coming into the Royal Rumble number 23.
01:12And Lex Luger could not be denied his moment.
01:17Lex Luger, one of the great competitors in the WWF.
01:20Ready to lock up here with his competition, Austin Steele.
01:24Tremendous crowd on hand, enthusiastic as always.
01:29And how big is the crowd? How enthusiastic is the crowd?
01:33Last week, ladies and gentlemen, Monday Night Raw ranked number one in the ratings.
01:37That's right.
01:39The most heavily watched cable show in all of America.
01:42Monday Night Raw, number one.
01:46All right.
01:47And a lot of folks thought that Lex Luger was number one at the WWF Royal Rumble.
01:51Personally, I saw it the other way.
01:53I think Brett the Hitman Hart won it.
01:55Gorilla Moncino and I were working on Radio WWF.
01:58He thought that Lex Luger won it.
02:00Very controversial.
02:01We'll have more on the Royal Rumble event.
02:04Notwithstanding the Royal Rumble matchup, as we progress through Monday Night Raw,
02:08everything imaginable happened.
02:11And even somewhat the supernatural, which we'll get in a little bit later on.
02:15Luger now with a hammerlock on his competition, Austin Steele.
02:19Lex Luger seems to have kicked it up a notch or two here in the WWF as of late.
02:23Jim Rush?
02:24He certainly has, Vince.
02:256'5", about 265, 270.
02:28Very physically gifted.
02:29He can beat you not only with power moves, but this is a very quick big man.
02:35Luger now standing side headlock on Austin Steele.
02:41Starting to grind it out a bit here is Lex Luger.
02:43And Austin Steele better do something pretty quick.
02:46Not that.
02:47Don't get in Luger's way.
02:48Luger over Austin Steele.
02:49Right back at him.
02:50Hit toss.
02:50No.
02:51Nice block by Luger.
02:52And a nice reversal.
02:54And another one.
02:56Austin Steele is up.
02:58Not for long.
02:59Right back down.
03:00Luger goes right back to the power when he gets the opportunity.
03:03Tremendous upper body development and great power.
03:06And that man's no dummy either, ladies and gentlemen.
03:08A Dean's List student in college.
03:11Yes, indeed.
03:12An extraordinary athlete.
03:13An extraordinary student as well.
03:16He really has it all.
03:17Lex Luger.
03:18Uncrushed by one of the more exemplary athletes in all the WWF.
03:23Lex formerly in the National Football League.
03:25I'm sure he watched the playoffs yesterday.
03:27Oh, yes.
03:28My goodness.
03:28By the way, Lex Luger originally denied entry into the Royal Rumble, as you know.
03:34Mr. Fuji, Jim Cornette, Yokozuna, wanted to make sure that Luger didn't win the Rumble.
03:39They were afraid of facing Luger at WrestleMania.
03:42They may have to do just that.
03:43Jack Tunney made a very difficult decision, Jim Ross, as you know, as to who won the Royal Rumble matchup.
03:51Brett Hart or Lex Luger announcing for the first time ever co-winners, but maybe an even tougher decision coming up this weekend.
03:58Absolutely no doubt about it.
04:00Mr. Tunney has got a great decision to make because who is going to meet the WWF champion at WrestleMania 10?
04:07And again, as you said, we hope to know that this weekend from the President's office.
04:11Well, speaking of WrestleMania, WrestleMania tickets went on sale in Madison Square Garden this morning.
04:16And I can tell you, by sun-up tomorrow, they'll all be gone.
04:20WrestleMania will be sold out, but you do have an opportunity to charge your tickets by phone if you dial this number.
04:25212-307-7171.
04:29WrestleMania is hot, but WBF is hot.
04:31And so is Lex Luger.
04:32Oh, my.
04:33Look at that.
04:35Lex Luger building momentum just as he did in the Royal Rumble matchup.
04:39However, remember Jim Ross before the Royal Rumble matchup as well.
04:42We saw Tinru and Kabuki attacking Luger in the hallway even prior to the match.
04:49There were some questions whether or not Luger was going to make it in.
04:52Obviously, a premeditated plan orchestrated by Mr. Fuji.
04:56And Lex Luger was very lucky to be able to make it to the Royal Rumble in one piece.
05:01And not only did he make it in one piece, the first man out was Kabuki.
05:05And then from there, Tinru was eliminated by both Bret Hart and Luger.
05:09And look at this.
05:10From the top down to the canvas.
05:13Luger hooks the leg.
05:14And just like the Royal Rumble matchup, he will not be the non-victory.
05:21Mr. Fuji's conspiracy backfiring.
05:24And Lex Luger, ladies and gentlemen, could be the man who goes to WrestleMania and faces the champion.
05:29And again, it could be Bret Hart.
05:30What a tough decision.
05:32WWF President Jack Tunney has to make.
05:35He's got to make it this weekend.
05:37Tremendous victory for Lex Luger, ladies and gentlemen.
05:42They love him here.
05:43They love him all over the United States of America.
05:46All over the world, no matter.
05:48Welcome once again, ladies and gentlemen, to Monday Night Raw.
05:51It's the man here along with Jim Ross.
05:54Good addition to the action we just saw in the Luger matchup.
05:57What about the tag team matchup we're going to see Jim with men on the mission?
06:00Joe Mabel and Oscar squaring up against the Henshringer.
06:03Two huge team spits.
06:05Where I come from in Oklahoma, we call a match like that, folks, a slobber knocker.
06:09That's what you're going to see.
06:11Well, in addition to the slobber knocker, we're also going to see an action.
06:14Double J, Jeff Jarrett, who's joined on the card by Shawn Michaels, doing the clown, Adam
06:20Bob, and who knows what's going to happen here on Monday Night Raw.
06:23However, standing by for a special Royal Rumble report, let's take you to our colleague, Todd
06:29Pettengill.
06:30Todd?
06:31Thanks, Vince, Jim, and welcome, everyone, to your WWF Royal Rumble report right here on
06:36Monday Night Raw.
06:36I'm Todd Pettengill.
06:38I am here to tell you what a Royal Rumble.
06:40Everybody here at the WWF studios still talking about it.
06:44I mean, everything I thought would happen at the Rumble didn't.
06:47Conversely, everything I knew couldn't possibly happen, did.
06:50Take the Rumble, for instance.
06:51Talk about action.
06:52That had to be the most intense, grueling, exhausting, but entertaining Royal Rumble match
06:58of all time.
06:59And then the controversial ending?
07:00I mean, just who do you think won the Rumble?
07:02I mean, I personally think that President Jack Sonny had no choice but to declare Lex Luger
07:07and Bret Hart co-winners.
07:08By the way, you'll get a chance to register your opinion later on tonight, right here on Raw.
07:12Now then, that disputed ending to the Rumble match.
07:15If that wasn't enough to debate, I got a larger issue for you.
07:18Just which one of these guys, Lex or Bret, goes on to WrestleMania X to face a WWF champion?
07:24The answer is, I don't know.
07:26I mean, I'm not the president.
07:27However, Jack Tunney is.
07:29And apparently, he is going to deliberate all week long and will be getting the answer
07:33to the question this coming weekend on the WWF television network.
07:37Now, there is one thing I know, and that will be either Lex Luger or Bret Hart will be going
07:42on to WrestleMania X to face the then-current WWF champion, which right now remains, amazingly
07:48enough, Yokozuna.
07:50That's right.
07:50The 600-pound WWF sumo warrior still is the World Wrestling Federation champion.
07:57Now, those of you who watched the championship matchup saw something out of this world that
08:02night.
08:02You know exactly what I'm talking about.
08:04Those of you who missed it, you missed, for lack of a better word, the supernatural.
08:09I mean, I don't want to say too much, because the WWF Royal Rumble Encore is airing tomorrow
08:14night.
08:15Now, how about the tag championship?
08:16Was that the worst display of sportsmanship in history last night, or what?
08:20I mean, after the match, what Owen did to his brother, Bret, was appalling.
08:24I mean, it was really disgraceful, just unbelievable.
08:27And it even made what Bret Hart did later on in that night even more spectacular.
08:31Anyway, what you heard me say earlier on was absolutely 100% correct.
08:35There was an Encore viewing of the 1994 WWF Royal Rumble.
08:39No question, the most surprising, controversial, exhausting, entertaining Royal Rumble of all
08:45time.
08:46Tomorrow night, 8 Eastern and Pacific, and only on pay-per-view cable television.
08:51If you missed it once, don't miss it again.
08:53If you saw it once, you may very well want to catch it again.
08:56Without a doubt, the most unbelievable Royal Rumble in history.
09:00Tomorrow night, and exclusively on pay-per-view.
09:03Right now, let's get back to Vince McMahon.
09:07Thank you, Todd Puttengill.
09:08Yes, indeed, in America, we have a choice, ladies and gentlemen.
09:10It is the land of opportunity, and the choice is clearly ours.
09:14We can watch the WWF Encore of the Royal Rumble tomorrow night, or we can listen to President
09:22Clinton, give us the State of the Union address, so the choice is clearly yours, the Clinton
09:26State of the Union, or the WWF State of the WWF.
09:30I'm calling my cable company.
09:32I've heard enough from Hillary.
09:33Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
09:35W-J, ladies and gentlemen, in action when we return with more Monday Night Raw.
09:40You know, Vince Double J did quite well in the WWF Royal Rumble, and he was also involved
09:51in the shocking situation involving The Undertaker and Yokozuna, among others.
09:57Yes, indeed, and we'll get into that a little bit later on.
10:00We said before, look at that dropkick.
10:01And you heard from Todd Pettengill trying to describe, and words actually defy what happened
10:07to The Undertaker at the Royal Rumble.
10:11John Paul.
10:11Oh, my, what a clothesline by Double J.
10:14This man is definitely making a reputation for himself as of late.
10:19He said when he came here, he was going to use the WWF to attain stardom.
10:24Oh, there's an inside cradle.
10:25Two and three.
10:26Almost.
10:27And Double J caught off guard.
10:29Anything can happen in the WWF, and certainly on Monday Night Raw, which is unquestionably
10:35one of the reasons why Monday Night Raw is the number one show in America on cable TV.
10:43And Paul trying to get him down again.
10:45One, two and.
10:47Well, I don't think actually Double J was any danger of being pinned there, but nonetheless
10:51it was close.
10:52Certainly was.
10:52The second near-fall situation that John Paul has been able to get Double J in, and he
10:57may pay for that in time.
10:59Oh, Double J, ladies and gentlemen, Jim Ross mentioned Double J, one of the ten men who
11:05did to The Undertaker what no one thought could ever be done.
11:09And then from there, The Undertaker did what no one thought could ever be done.
11:13I mean, you talk about a hair-raising experience.
11:16If you saw the Royal Rumble Saturday night, you saw our first ever in the WWF as it relates
11:24to The Undertaker.
11:25And if you didn't see it, as Todd Pettengill said, you better catch it Tuesday night.
11:31Or watch clip.
11:32No, I'm calling my cable company.
11:35I can't wait to see it tomorrow night.
11:37And I'll tell you something, Double J, Jeff Jarrett, as we mentioned earlier, Vince, very, very impressive.
11:43And he threw a tough number in the WWF Royal Rumble.
11:45He threw number 12.
11:48Yes, he did.
11:49Lasted quite a long time as well.
11:50An extraordinary competitor.
11:52And I would suggest much better at single competition than he is in any other type match.
12:00He certainly has a unique ring attire for a man with his Music City roots.
12:07Well, I guess what he's trying to do is unquestionably be different.
12:09He is just that.
12:10He is very, very different.
12:12As you said before, trying to make a big name for himself in the WWF so he can go on to his
12:16real life.
12:17So he can go on to Nashville and do what he claims to do best.
12:22Sing.
12:22Now then, will he sing?
12:24Will he dance at the Music City News Country Songwriters Awards on March 9th?
12:30We understand he has been invited.
12:32He's on the cover recently of Country Beat Magazine.
12:36And Double J is on a tear.
12:39Well, I'm surprised to hear that because I subscribed to that publication and I apparently
12:43haven't gotten my copy yet.
12:44But if he's on the cover, that means he's well on his way to stardom in Music City.
12:49And he unquestionably is on his way to stardom here in the WWF as John Paul is finding out.
12:55Although Paul is hanging tough.
12:56That's what it's about, the WWF.
12:59To hang tough in there until you can pull off an upset.
13:03And that can happen.
13:04As it has happened so many times before here on Monday Night Raw.
13:07As it happened at the Royal Rumble event last Saturday night.
13:12Oh, my.
13:13Look at this.
13:14Back spot.
13:14He dropped.
13:15Nicely executed.
13:16Well, Jarrett doesn't make many mistakes.
13:18Oh, there's one.
13:21Come on, Paul.
13:23Paul earlier with a couple of near falls.
13:25End of receiving couple of yards.
13:26Here we go.
13:26There's one, two, three.
13:28Oh, no.
13:28Man.
13:29Very, very close.
13:31Third time in this matchup that Jeff Jarrett has found himself in a tough situation.
13:36Jarrett puts on the brakes, goes upstairs.
13:38Misses with the elbow.
13:39Paul.
13:40Right on target.
13:41Paul with another uppercut.
13:43John Paul with a clinched fist.
13:45Reversal here.
13:46Paul coming off the road.
13:47Double J sets him up.
13:48Getting behind John Paul.
13:49Driving.
13:50No.
13:50Behind.
13:51That's reversal.
13:52A roll up there.
13:53Shoulders down.
13:54Away.
13:54Pulling the tights in.
13:55On the count of three.
13:57Now, I don't think he had to pull the tights to win that matchup.
14:01He clearly had John Paul's shoulders on the canvas.
14:05Nonetheless, that's the kind of competitor.
14:07Double J.
14:08And look at this.
14:09The match officially over.
14:11There's no call for this either.
14:12Look.
14:14What a DDT right there.
14:16Totally unnecessary.
14:18Absolutely ridiculous.
14:21The action's going to get hotter and heavier here tonight.
14:23And get a load of what's coming at you next week on Monday Night Raw.
14:27The 1-2-3 Kid.
14:30This former tag team champion team with Marty Giannetti to defeat the cocky Quebecers.
14:35Now, he wants to settle a score with their loudmouth manager, Johnny Polo.
14:40He still has little respect for the kid.
14:42It's put up or shut up time for the man with the motor mouth.
14:46The 1-2-3 Kid battles Johnny Polo.
14:49Next week on Monday Night Raw.
14:53Promotional consideration paid for by the following.
14:57I always like to keep my favorite snack handy.
15:13Need a little excitement?
15:15Snap it over Slim Jam.
15:16Oh, yeah.
15:20We're back.
15:20And the 1-2-3 Kid is returning back.
15:23Back to action.
15:24And he missed the Royal Rumble last Saturday night.
15:26But he won't miss next Monday night.
15:29He's had a great deal of success here on Monday Night Raw.
15:32And here comes a team hoping for success.
15:35Indeed, this will be the biggest test to date here in the WWF for men on a mission.
15:40Mo, Mabel, Oscar, getting it on here.
15:45And they're going to lock up with Uncrashway.
15:48One of the toughest tag teams in all of the World Wrestling Federation.
15:52The Head Shrinkers.
15:54Samu, 5-2.
15:55But right now, Oscar, Mo, and Mabel are in the house.
16:00Listen up.
16:00We're having some fun here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
16:09And when we return, we're going to have some tag team action.
16:14Oh, yeah.
16:14We are back, and we are ready for action.
16:21As you see in the ring right now, Fatou and his tag team partner, Samu,
16:24ready to lock up with men on a mission.
16:25Originally, this was to have been the Head Shrinkers against the Hart brothers,
16:30Owen and Brent.
16:31And perhaps it would have been a tag team title match.
16:34Many of you were hoping that, as well as we.
16:37But that's not what happened.
16:39Jim, you want to attempt to explain the actions of Owen Hart?
16:42Well, I'll tell you something.
16:43I'm a big hitman fan, and until Saturday night, a big fan of Owen Hart.
16:47But what he did, I think, was one of the most revolting situations.
16:52It's unfortunate it had to happen before such an expansive audience on pay-per-view.
16:57But I felt so sorry for Brent Hart.
17:01The tears coming down his face were not just tears of pain.
17:04I really believe, and I'm not trying to sound so melancholy here,
17:08but I believe a piece of his heart was literally broken on Saturday night by his own little brother.
17:16A very unfortunate incident occurring at last Saturday night's Royal Rumble,
17:21with Owen and Brent attempting to win the tag team championship back from the Quebecers.
17:27And the Quebecers remain champions.
17:29And we will never again, I would suspect, ever see Brent and Owen teaming up.
17:34I'd like to hear what Owen has to say for himself, is what I'd like to hear.
17:38As a matter of fact, we are scheduled to have an exclusive interview with Owen Hart this coming Sunday on WWF All-American.
17:44And look at this.
17:46Now, not too many people have the power and the girth to tackle a man like Samu, or rather Fatou, and put him down on the canvas.
17:54I personally like the term girth.
17:56I've been referred to that.
17:57Well, girth is on the outside waiting to be tagged in.
17:59That's Mabel.
18:00That's girth.
18:00Mabel is the straw that stirs the drink on this team, in my opinion.
18:06You know, you got Offa on the outside, Vince.
18:08I guess he's the Jimmy Johnson of the WWF, because he guaranteed a victory here today.
18:14He certainly did.
18:15And Offa himself, former tag team champion here in the WWF.
18:19Imagine getting advice from Offa.
18:21Nonetheless, it is effective.
18:22Then again, you wonder what sort of advice that Oscar is giving men on a mission.
18:27Oscar, unquestionably a student of the game, as they say.
18:31I think that Offa certainly has a great advantage in that area.
18:36He gives the head shrinkers a big advantage because of his experience.
18:42Well, he and Sika are a wild team in their day.
18:45Over in WWF Tag Champions.
18:47And Mo now awaiting to see what Fatou is going to come up with after a bit of consultation on the outside with Offa.
18:57It's going to be interesting to see which team can build some continuity here.
19:00Coming off the rope now, Mo.
19:02And Mo, yes.
19:03But that won't hurt.
19:04That will not hurt Fatou.
19:06And Mo should know better.
19:08Now he does.
19:09He's not going to make that mistake again.
19:11Mo made the mistake of styling and profiling.
19:14All right, look at this.
19:16Now, Fatou makes the mistake.
19:18Fatou doesn't know who's in the ring.
19:22Oh, look at this.
19:24In your face.
19:26Oh, no.
19:27An attempt at a slam.
19:29And Fatou should know better than that.
19:31I don't think anyone can slam Maple.
19:33I think that's impossible.
19:35Well, Fatou.
19:35Look at this.
19:36Wait a minute.
19:36Samu coming in as well.
19:37Right into the huge boot.
19:39A one-man gang in there right now.
19:41Uh-oh.
19:41Oh, wait a minute.
19:42Right up in the butt of the jaw.
19:43Down goes Maple.
19:45But only the one knee.
19:47And Fatou.
19:48Oh, come on.
19:49Give me a break.
19:50That's absurd.
19:51You even attempt that nice reversal by Maple.
19:55Fatou's 300 pounds, Vince.
19:57Yeah.
19:57Oh, yeah.
19:58That's still delusions of grandeur to think you can get a 500-pound man up and suplex him
20:02like that.
20:03Mo back in.
20:04Five clothesline.
20:05Yeah.
20:06Here's the cover.
20:07Refriano position back over.
20:09And no.
20:10Very, very close to the three-count.
20:11Very close.
20:12Less than a half a count there.
20:15Mo trying to set up Fatou.
20:16He has some momentum.
20:17It's reversed.
20:18Mo off the ropes over.
20:19Oh, look at that.
20:20Wait a minute.
20:21Samu kicks him right in the back.
20:22Fatou now slapped him down.
20:25Trying to go for the cover.
20:26We'll be right back as we continue.
20:28Welcome back, everyone.
20:34Welcome back, everyone.
20:34We're on Monday Night Raw.
20:35Samu now reaching for the tag.
20:36Here comes Fatou.
20:37And Mo has been paying his dues in this tag team matchup.
20:41Look out.
20:41Here comes the double team.
20:42Coming out to Roselle.
20:43Double clothesline.
20:44My goodness.
20:45And Mo is out on it.
20:47Oh, look at that.
20:48He made me even further out on it.
20:50Samu Fatou on Christchley.
20:52One of the toughest tag teams in the WWF.
20:55And as you stated earlier, Jim Ross, put to the test this week,
20:58minute of the mission.
20:59However, a kick out there and not much of a cover, actually, on Fatou's part.
21:02Well, not real technically sound, Vince.
21:04But I think what you're seeing here is that whatever the head shrinkers have to do,
21:08they will do to keep Mo in the ring.
21:10They do not want to face Mabel under any circumstance.
21:14So I think you're going to see Mo be really physically challenged here.
21:18Samu Fatou were two of the king men.
21:22Who jumped on The Undertaker, one on ten, last Saturday night at the Royal Rumble.
21:27Mo now coming off the rope and it's Mo through to the outside.
21:32And that's not all that happened at the Royal Rumble.
21:34Let's talk a bit more, if we may.
21:36Uh-oh.
21:36Mabel wants to come in.
21:37Stay with this.
21:40Referee out of position here.
21:41Way out of position.
21:43And, oh, come on.
21:46Mo ran into the steel steps on the outside.
21:52And, again, these head shrinkers will do anything and everything they think they can get away with.
21:57They have been...
21:58Wait a minute.
21:58That's the reversal.
22:00But that was the head.
22:03And, again, that was the kick.
22:05Mo not learning from the first time.
22:07You cannot hurt either Samu or Fatou by hitting him in the head.
22:12It can't be done.
22:14Samu, Fatou, related.
22:16They are cousins.
22:18And, of course, speaking of tag teams, that will take us back to the Hart brothers that we thought perhaps would be tag team champions.
22:23I can't get over Owen Hart blaming his brother, Brett.
22:26Blaming his brother, Brett, for losing the match.
22:29And then from there, after the Quebecers had left with the belts and Brett Hart could not stand.
22:35That's how intense the pain was.
22:37From there, Owen, his brother didn't help him up.
22:40No.
22:41Owen berated in the verbal barrage on his brother, Brett.
22:46And right here, again, not much of a cover.
22:51Could it be that the head shrinkers attempting to punish Mo?
22:54They've done a good job of keeping Mo away from tagging his partner, Mabel.
22:59And look out, Oscar.
23:00He's taking off.
23:01Don't worry about that.
23:02He's not going to be around.
23:04I just can't get over Owen Hart.
23:06And then physically attacking his brother.
23:09That was totally unwarranted and uncalled for last Saturday night.
23:14And I'm sure Jim Rolstead has, more than anything else, upset the entire Hart family.
23:21Can you imagine, ladies and gentlemen, how Stu and Helen Hart must have felt
23:25to be sitting at home in their living room,
23:28seeing this despicable display by their youngest child?
23:32Twelve children, Owen being the youngest,
23:35and acting like that on that pay-per-view broadcast.
23:39Oh, wow.
23:41Mo now is coming off the rope, man.
23:44Bit of a sunset flip, he gets him down, but again, out of position, the official, and
23:48Patu attacking nonetheless.
23:51We could very well see a disqualification here.
23:54Certainly, we have seen a number of those as it relates to the head shrinkers.
23:57They get out of line.
23:58There's a cover reversal to him.
24:01Nope.
24:02Still can't get him.
24:03Nice move there by Mo.
24:05Turn that slam into an inside cradle.
24:07Yes, but the greatest move that Mo could make would be the taggingest partner, Mabel.
24:12Standing drop kick.
24:13I'll tell you, these head shrinkers are extraordinary.
24:16Very athletic maneuver by Sam Mu.
24:18And again, you've got to remember, this man is just over 300 pounds.
24:22And you may not like either Sam Mu or Patu, but at least they don't blame each other when
24:26something doesn't go their way.
24:27He is in Owen Hart, obviously.
24:30Double headbutt.
24:32Ho-ho!
24:33Oh, cover!
24:34Here comes Mabel!
24:35And Mabel's going to break things up.
24:38Good thing he did.
24:39Uh-oh.
24:39Uh-oh.
24:39Look out here!
24:40Oh!
24:41Huck up off the wishbone!
24:43Well, I'll tell you, Oklahoma's wishbone never looked quite like that.
24:47Mo, he's being challenged here, Vance.
24:49He's got to make the tag.
24:50Yes, otherwise, this one's going to be over and over very quickly.
24:54Sam Mu, Patu, really taking it to Mo.
24:57And another headbutt.
24:58Oh, goodness.
24:59To the outside now.
25:00What's going to happen?
25:03Big 300 pounder, Patu, guy out.
25:05Taking his time.
25:07Patu now.
25:08Trying to measure Mo.
25:09Mo!
25:10Oh, look at that!
25:12Mo launching for the rope.
25:14It looked like he lost his balance and fell backward, but now he was actually an offensive maneuver.
25:19Sam Mu trying to tag Mabel.
25:22He's got to make the tag right now.
25:25This is his chance.
25:25Hey, wait a minute.
25:26Sam Mu is tagged in.
25:28And here comes Mabel.
25:31Mabel, what a hard guy there.
25:33Setting up Sam Mu.
25:35Coming off the rope now.
25:36What a close line.
25:38Forget it, but.
25:38That is other lines.
25:40Mabel, in there against both head-trikers.
25:43Look at the power of Mabel.
25:45Mabel, where would it look hotter?
25:47Mabel, oh, whoa.
25:52Yes, Mabel is on a mission.
25:56And look at this.
26:00And Mabel, bring it down the house.
26:03And that's 500 pounds.
26:06A band right there.
26:07He's manhandling all three of these men.
26:10The head-trikers and Offa.
26:12Boom!
26:12Oh, my goodness.
26:14I couldn't forget about this one's history.
26:17Two in.
26:17Oh, wait a minute.
26:18Wait just a minute.
26:19I think the official should have continued the count, but he stopped the count to get that two out of the ring.
26:25Double team effort here.
26:28Was there a, there was no tag, I don't believe.
26:30Yeah, there was a tag.
26:31I don't know why Moe tagged.
26:33Mabel, Mabel had things going his way.
26:36Moe won a tag.
26:37He got it.
26:38And that's not all Moe got.
26:41Well, Mabel coming in to help out there.
26:44So if you want to fight fire with fire, that's what Mabel will do.
26:48Oh, look at this.
26:49Mabel to the outside now.
26:50A clever maneuver on the part of Samo.
26:53Double hit knocker.
26:56And the tag, here we go.
26:58Going up now.
27:00Uh-oh.
27:00Mabel still on the outside.
27:03From the top row, girl.
27:05Boom!
27:06Forget about it.
27:08Mabel.
27:09Oh, my.
27:11Well, they're having a big trade for Samo in 5-2.
27:14Mabel coming in to try and help out his tag team partner.
27:17No dissension there, as we saw Saturday night with Owen Hart as it relates to Brett.
27:23But nonetheless, Mabel, looks like Mabel's angry.
27:26Mabel now with Samo in 5-2.
27:28Yeah!
27:28All right.
27:28Takes them both down.
27:30Yep.
27:30Take calm, ladies and gentlemen.
27:31Adam Baum in action.
27:32Going to the cloud.
27:33And Shawn Michaels as well.
27:35Will Beasel be in the corner of Shawn Michaels?
27:37And is he still angry at Shawn?
27:39Who knows?
27:39Welcome back to our Monday Night Raw.
27:45Things heating up here in the arena.
27:47Heating up weather-wise as well in the Northeast.
27:49Take a look, if you would, at Adam Baum, Jim.
27:51From Three Mile Island, he eats it up all right.
27:54And here's a guy that got the dream draw in the WWF Royal Rumble match itself on Saturday night.
28:00Number 30.
28:03And from there, Adam Baum with an impressive performance in the Royal Rumble.
28:09But thus far, history states that no one who has drawn the dream draw, as you say, number 30,
28:16has ever won the Royal Rumble matchup.
28:19How about that?
28:20Well, I blame part of that on Harvey Wilberman because Harvey, I think, should have prepared that young man better.
28:25And another thing, Vince, this is one of ten men that got involved before the Royal Rumble match itself
28:31in that whole Undertaker brawl.
28:34Yes, indeed.
28:35Adam Baum and the youngster getting a good look at the most unusual presence of Adam Baum.
28:44Adam Baum attempting to intimidate.
28:46Just from a visual standpoint, Adam Baum now locking up with his opposition here, Tommy Angel.
28:53And Angel has quite a bit of experience, as far as wrestling knowledge is concerned.
28:58Known Tommy Angel for quite some time.
29:00A very fundamentally sound young man looking for that big opportunity.
29:05And a victory here on Monday Night Raw would be it.
29:08Sure would be.
29:09Adam Baum right now trying to manhandle Tommy Angel.
29:12It's pretty easy to read the book on Adam Baum.
29:16Adam Baum is a tough competitor.
29:18Big, awesome, powerful man.
29:20Missing with a clothesline.
29:21Angel on target.
29:22Angel in the roundhouse right again.
29:24A drop kick by Angel.
29:25And does he get it all.
29:26And another one right back up a little bit more that time.
29:29Tommy Angel sending Adam Baum.
29:31Coming off the ropes and...
29:32Uh-oh.
29:33Big mistake there.
29:34He dropped his head, took his eyes off his opponent.
29:37And that's exactly what happens.
29:38You can't do that with a caliber of athlete of this young superstar here in the WWF.
29:44He did not.
29:45Adam Baum backing Angel in the corner.
29:46Angel has to get out of there.
29:49And, uh, Adam Baum apparently disregarding some of the remarks from the official.
29:55Hip toss over goes Tommy Angel.
29:58Here on USA Thursday, when a famous writer helps release a convict, she could be writing her own obituary.
30:03Bobby Benson and Jennifer O'Neill star in Invasion of Privacy.
30:09A USA World premiere movie encore.
30:13Thursday night at 9 o'clock.
30:15And that's 8 central, of course.
30:17And, uh, standing drop kick by Adam Baum.
30:19I wonder if, uh, does Sally Perdue have a walk on in that movie, Invasion of Privacy?
30:25I don't know.
30:26She's, uh, been offered some, uh, pretty good jobs, I understand.
30:28At least that's what she says.
30:30Former Miss Arkansas, you know.
30:31Well, that's close to Oklahoma, isn't it?
30:35Right next door, there are our neighbors.
30:36You know, they call Arkansas the land of opportunity.
30:39And, uh, Sally Perdue seems to be giving new meaning to that term.
30:42I see.
30:44To the buckle.
30:46Angel having his problems, nonetheless, making a match of it.
30:49Who knows, maybe we'll see another upset.
30:51Adam Baum spinning Angel.
30:52Ooh, wow.
30:52Adam Baum back in control now.
30:54If this onslaught continues with Adam Baum,
30:56I would suggest that Angel could take a page from Michael Jackson
30:59and try and settle this thing.
31:02Ooh.
31:03Suplex.
31:05And Adam Baum still.
31:07Why is he going for the cover, Jim?
31:08I don't know.
31:09I think, uh, again, that's, uh, that's...
31:11That advice?
31:11Harvey's fault.
31:13Harvey's not got this guy ready.
31:15Harvey sends him to the top.
31:16Now, high-risk maneuver.
31:18And I don't think he'd have to do this to power-shop a man like Angel.
31:21He can blow a knee very easily.
31:23And, ooh, on target.
31:26Man.
31:27Adam Baum.
31:29Pretty conclusive right there, Vince.
31:30Harvey is...
31:31Why doesn't Harvey send Adam Baum for the cover here?
31:36I think he's been spending too much time shopping for hushpuppies, Vince.
31:39Uh-oh.
31:40Look at this now.
31:41Adam Baum with Tommy Angel.
31:44And up and down to the canvas.
31:47The Adam Smasher.
31:48And real history.
31:50Very impressive athlete.
31:51Yes, indeed, I would suggest we're going to be seeing a great...
31:54Look, did you see Harvey Wimbledon?
31:57I sure did.
31:58It reminds me of little Andrew Giuliani.
32:00He wants some camera time.
32:02Well, ladies and gentlemen, coming into WWF, many of you saw him last Saturday night.
32:06An impressive debut for Sparky.
32:08Boy, that's my baby right there.
32:14Hello, everybody.
32:16My name is Thurman Plung.
32:18My friends, they call me Sparky.
32:20Listen to the roar of these Indians.
32:23Smell that fuel burning.
32:25I'm just so excited I can't stand it.
32:27I'm trapped at the seat of that race car and I'm running down that straightaway and I'm wide open, pedal to the metal.
32:34Just like when I come to the World Wrestling Federation, I'm going to be wide open, pedal to the metal.
32:39And ain't nobody going to stop.
32:40Sparky plug.
32:41And I'm a believer of that.
32:44You can see, ladies and gentlemen, this coming weekend making his debut, his single competition debut on WWF Superstars and WWF Challenge.
32:53But take a look at this.
32:56Oh, my goodness.
32:56Look at the size of that dog.
32:59Look at the size of that pink.
33:02There's pink and there's tight.
33:04A most unusual athlete, to say the least, and Joey Stallings knows that he's in for our, well, what was that phrase you used earlier, a slumber knocker?
33:15What would you call this one?
33:16What would be an Oklahoman term for what we're likely to see here in this match?
33:19Well, I don't know.
33:20My mom thinks that little Dink is cuter than a speckled pup.
33:23There you go.
33:24You know, I hope that Joey Stallings is not wearing.
33:28The question is whether or not Dink's dog bites.
33:32If Stallings got milk bone underwear, we're in trouble.
33:34This is your Dink, right?
33:36We're going to find out.
33:40Is that Dink's dog or Doink's dog?
33:42Maybe it's Doink petting the dog.
33:47Another apparition here in the WWF.
33:51Anything could happen.
33:52I'll give you a break.
33:54Oh, please.
33:58Oh, my.
34:00Stallings, he's a sandwich or two short of a picnic, I think.
34:04There's nothing there.
34:05Nothing to pet.
34:07And, however, Doink the cloud.
34:12A little goofy as far as the look is concerned.
34:14No question.
34:15And he has a laugh or two.
34:17Although, I would suggest he was not laughing.
34:21When all of a sudden, in the Royal Rumble matchup, he had on his back Diesel and Crush at the same time.
34:28That was no laughing matter.
34:29Man, it was Diesel.
34:31I mean, he's like one of the MVPs of the Royal Rumble match itself.
34:35Stallings, very slow, coming off the rope.
34:37And, uh-oh, belly to belly.
34:39Yes, indeed.
34:40Doink knows how to wrestle.
34:42He'll mix it up technically.
34:43He'll brawl with you.
34:45He'll do anything you want.
34:47This is an extraordinary competitor in Doink.
34:50He also likes to have some fun in there.
34:52You know, Vince, we know that Doink's had his share of problems with Bam Bam Bigelow and Luna Vachon, the ever-lovely Luna, I might add.
35:00Uh-huh.
35:00And, uh, he's going to have to really refine his mat wrestling skills.
35:04Bigelow, close to 400 pounds.
35:06Got to outweigh Doink 150 pounds.
35:10Yes, no question of that.
35:11But then again, I think perhaps the tactics and the skills of Doink completely throw Bam Bam off guard.
35:16He doesn't know what to expect there.
35:17Did you ever wonder why he dresses in this particular ring attire?
35:20Because it's obvious that the guy is a heck of a wrestler.
35:24Well, I think a great wrestler.
35:27Then again, take nothing away from the beast from the East, Bam Bam Bigelow.
35:31Is it Luna Vachon originally from Oklahoma?
35:35No, she's probably from Texas.
35:36A lot of strange people come from Texas.
35:38Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
35:40Oh, my.
35:41And now Doink!
35:43Nice move there.
35:45Go for the cover of the count.
35:46You know, Vince, clowns abound this past Saturday on Mania.
35:52Todd and Randy Savage did a great job on Mania here on USA.
35:55It was live and it was red hot.
35:58Yes, I'm anxious to tune in this coming Saturday morning
36:00and find out what the Macho Man and Todd Pengill have up their sleeve
36:04this coming Saturday morning.
36:07And now Doink is laughing.
36:08However, there's no laughing matter at all as to who won the Royal Rumble matchup.
36:13Suspense abounding this past Saturday night.
36:17Lex Luger's music started playing.
36:19I think the ring announcer was going to announce Lex as the winner.
36:21Then it stopped.
36:22Then Bret Hart, look at that dropkick.
36:24Bret Hart's music started playing.
36:26The ring announcer was going to announce Bret as the winner.
36:28These are the two referees, I thought,
36:30who obviously saw it from opposing points of view.
36:33I thought they were going to go at it.
36:35I mean, they were angry.
36:36Jack Tunney gets involved.
36:37And, well, maybe Tunney made the only decision he could make.
36:41Nonetheless, one of those men will go on to face the WWF champion at WrestleMania.
36:47And the one who does it, I would suggest, will be most disappointed, Joe.
36:51Absolutely, Vince.
36:52And that's going to be a major decision.
36:55Maybe Jack Tunney's biggest decision of his presidency to be made this weekend.
37:00And look at this.
37:01Stallings in the air.
37:03And big power slam there by Doink.
37:07Doink dropping the knee.
37:09And look at this.
37:10Number one.
37:11I think he's through clowning around.
37:13All right.
37:13Going to the outside.
37:15Doink going up now.
37:16And Stallings appears to be totally out of it.
37:19Doink from the top.
37:20Big hell.
37:22What about it?
37:24Number one.
37:25Yes, sir.
37:26And another victory for Doink the Clown.
37:30She reached over to her.
37:32No telling what sort of a handics Doink and Dink are going to come up with it.
37:38I guess maybe the dog does fight after all.
37:42The 1994 World Wrestling Federation Royal Rumble was one of unbelievable action and unimaginable
37:49intrigue.
37:50Witnessed the betrayal as Owen Hart turned on his brother Brett once again.
37:58I'm not worried about you.
38:00I'm worried about myself.
38:03Experienced the incredible as a conspiracy of many put The Undertaker into a casket.
38:10But could not keep him buried for long at all.
38:13And who really won the Royal Rumble match?
38:22Brett Hart or Lex Luger?
38:24You decide.
38:25The World Wrestling Federation Royal Rumble encore.
38:29You can't afford to miss it.
38:31Tomorrow night at 8 Eastern on pay-per-view.
38:35I want my Raw.
38:38Everyone wants to Raw and everyone wants to watch their WWF.
38:41You can get that shot as we just saw this coming Tuesday night.
38:44Your choice is either, once again, the encore of the Royal Rumble or Bill Clinton, State of the
38:51Union takes your pick.
38:52The World Wrestling Federation Royal Rumble.
38:53Promotional consideration paid for by the following.
38:56Attention Sega CD fans.
38:58Unleash the rage in the cage with 20 supercharged WWF superstars in incredible steel cage action from Acclaim.
39:08Who knows, it could be some crash dummies in next year's WWF Royal Rumble matchup.
39:13Look at this, Diesel takes the step over the top rope.
39:16Not too many people can do that.
39:18And Tyrone now locking up with Shawn Michaels.
39:21Diesel stock really rose in my eyes after the Royal Rumble match itself this past Saturday night.
39:26But I'll tell you something, if he watches the Encore tomorrow night, he may park the way with his pal Shawn Michaels.
39:35Indeed it was Diesel who challenged Michaels when he first came in the ring.
39:39Remember now, it was every man for himself.
39:41And that's a thing you only see once a year in the WWF.
39:45Look at Michaels, he is arrogant.
39:47Although he wasn't as arrogant as you thought he might be when Diesel invited him to go one-on-one.
39:52He declined that opportunity.
39:54And then from there, Michaels, doesn't Michaels, one of the individuals who shoved Diesel over the top with everyone else in the ring?
40:04I thought he just stood back and watched.
40:05He didn't try to help his bodyguard or associate or whatever the heck he is.
40:10Actually, I think the Encore will show that Michaels was the last man in.
40:14Just an extra little touch added to the eight or ten people in there who actually threw Diesel over the top.
40:19And you're right, if Diesel sees that footage, I don't think he's going to be hanging around Shawn Michaels.
40:25Michaels, oh, look at this!
40:26Michaels missing!
40:28Tyrone coming out of the corner!
40:29Tyrone working on the same left arm and shoulder!
40:32Tyrone Knox winding up Shawn Michaels!
40:34And everyone saw, if you saw, last Saturday night, look at a look of intensity in the eyes of Diesel.
40:42Did you believe what Shawn Michaels did to Razor Ramon, Jim?
40:46Well, he almost pulled it off.
40:47He almost succeeded in doing exactly what we know he wanted to do.
40:52And that was to make sure that Razor Ramon did not leave Providence, Rhode Island for the Intercontinental Belt.
40:58Yes, indeed.
40:59And there, for a while, everyone thought, including the official, that Irwin R. Scheister,
41:04who obviously has a bone to pick later on with the officiating,
41:07IRS thought for sure he was the new Intercontinental Champion, thanks to Shawn Michaels.
41:13But then, thank goodness, better officiating prevailed.
41:20The match allowed to continue, and I'm not too sure IRS even...
41:24Uh-oh.
41:25Take a look at this.
41:26That's the right hand.
41:26Nah, he's not going to bother with it.
41:31Tyrone back in there.
41:34Tyrone Knox and Shawn Michaels.
41:36Michaels, one of the more aggressive and certainly...
41:40One of the more arrogant individuals in all the WWF.
41:44He certainly says he's the wrestler of the 90s.
41:46I think Mr. Machismo has something to say about that.
41:50And I can't wait when those two will finally get together and settle this whole Intercontinental title situation.
41:56Great dropkick there, once and for all.
41:58Razor Ramon.
42:00Hunt crushedly looking forward to the opportunity, especially considering the happenings at the Royal Rumble matchup last Saturday.
42:06Razor looking forward to, once again, facing Shawn Michaels.
42:10By the way, did you watch any football this past weekend, Jim?
42:14Every down of every game.
42:15Uh-huh.
42:16Big Cowboy fan, you know.
42:17Unfortunately for CBS, as everyone knows, losing the NFL package going over to the Fox Network.
42:22I'd like to, however, put to rest the rumor that Neil Pilsen, president of CBS Sports,
42:28has been negotiating with the World Wrestling Federation to bring the WWF to CBS to replace the NFL package.
42:34That is not true.
42:35The World Wrestling Federation is staying right here on USA, America's favorite cable network.
42:42And America's favorite show, no doubt, Monday Night Raw.
42:46For the buckle right now.
42:48And Tyrone Knox is taking his knocks.
42:52And again.
42:53But no.
42:54How about that?
42:54Tyrone must have a pretty hard head.
42:57Tyrone, no headbutt.
42:59You go, Tyrone.
43:01And a reversal there.
43:02Tyrone coming up.
43:03Uh-oh.
43:04That wasn't on the forehead.
43:07That was underneath the chin.
43:08So much for momentum for old Tyrone there.
43:11Who does this man remind you of?
43:13Former television star Shawn Michaels reminds you of who?
43:16Eddie Haskell.
43:17Yeah, I think so.
43:18He's a condescending, arrogant young man.
43:21Yeah, leave it to be for Eddie Haskell.
43:23I think it fits him to a tee.
43:24Boy, this.
43:25And this.
43:26Oh!
43:27That would have fitted Tyrone to a tee.
43:30Yeah, flattened out his head.
43:33We'll be back, ladies and gentlemen, with more Monday Night Raw.
43:36Stay with us.
43:40Welcome back to more Monday Night Raw.
43:42Vince McMahon and Jim Ross.
43:43And next week, ladies and gentlemen, the 1, 2, 3 kids running up against Johnny Tolo.
43:49What a matchup that's going to be.
43:50Well, Vince, we saw what happened recently right here on Raw with Polo, with 101, with Marty Jannetty.
43:56Let's hope that next week, history doesn't repeat itself.
43:58That's up to Rebecca or stay up in Quebec.
44:01But in addition to our own back, Ryan will join us, the Marshal Art expert in action.
44:05And this Saturday night on Radio WWF, we'll be talking to all the great fans when our guest will be Brett the Hitman Hart.
44:11And as far as comments are concerned, his brother, the Rockin' Owen Hart, as we stated before, on hand for all American wrestling this Sunday at 12 noon Eastern.
44:19We'll bring you his comments next Monday night as well.
44:23And also joining us next Monday night, Lex Luger and the Hitman, Brad Hart.
44:28We thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for making us the number one cable television program in America.
44:35What a broadcast next week right here on USA, Monday Night Raw.
44:39Vince, I can't wait.
44:41Ladies and gentlemen, we'll get to all of that and more.
44:43Orwin R. Sharster will join us as our guest commentator.
44:46Who knows what's going to happen next week on Monday Night Raw.
44:50So long, everybody.
44:50Thank you, everybody.
