00:00We are moments away from what will be a slobberknocker, a street fight.

00:10No disqualification, no count outs, there must be a winner.

00:15And this whole thing got started on November the 19th when Ric Flair became Mr.

00:20McMahon's business partner.

00:23November 19th will forever be embedded in my mind as one of the worst days of my life.

00:27What? There's a nature boy.

00:30What's he doing here?

00:32Do you know that when Shane and Stephanie sold their stock to that consortium,

00:39the consortium was me.

00:43And now you and I are partners.

00:48Ric Flair is an underhanded businessman.

00:51I'm 50% over here.

00:53We're partners.

00:54We work together.

00:55I went through all the contracts and I happened to pull one that reads,

01:02this McMahon owner slash wrestler.

01:08That means that you're gonna wrestle at the Royal Rumble.

01:12Then who's got the boot to step into the ring with me?

01:17The Nature Boy, Ric Flair.

01:21I've got no problems accepting his challenge.

01:24He had no call to bust me in the mouth.

01:27Flair has made the biggest mistake of his life.

01:30You know, I'm the kind of guy just when you think you know him a little bit,

01:34you find out you don't know a damn thing about him.

01:38I want his family and I want the whole world to see what I do to Ric Flair.

01:43Who the hell do you think you are, McMahon?

01:46Take off my damn robe right now.

01:51For the love of God.

01:53He just hit Flair in the head with a pipe.

01:55I enjoy destroying lives.

01:59Ric Flair won the greatest of the game in the game's history.

02:02It turns me on.

02:06Especially an icon like Ric Flair.

02:10Ric Flair has bled and sweat and worked as hard for this business as

02:15Vince McMahon or anybody living or dead.

02:18I actually have been brought to my knees and left in the middle of the ring

02:24by the great Vince McMahon.

02:27But the Nature Boy is about to make history again.

02:34McMahon, now I'm going to take my power by making our match at the Royal Rumble

02:40a street fight.

02:41No rules.

02:43No count-up.

02:44No disqualification.

02:46Nothing stops that match.

02:48Street fight, huh?

02:50What I'm going to do to Ric Flair at the Royal Rumble?

02:52Embarrass Ric Flair.

02:54Annihilate Ric Flair at the Royal Rumble.

02:56Beat Ric Flair beyond recognition at the Royal Rumble.

03:00And I guarantee you, folks, it's not going to be pretty.

03:03Now you've got to walk that aisle.

03:07Whoo!

03:08You've got the style and profile.

03:11We're going to bleed, we're going to sweat, and we're going to pay the price

03:15until one of us walks out a winner.

03:18To be the man, you have to beat the man.

03:22I'm already the man, and I'm going to prove it.

03:25I enjoy destroying lives.

03:28It turns me on, especially an icon like Ric Flair.

03:36Whoo!

03:39Whoo!

03:51Ha-ha!

03:53The following contest is the streak of no rules, anything goes.

04:03Approaching the ring, from Charlotte, North Carolina,

04:10the co-owner of the World Wrestling Federation,

04:17Ric Flair.

04:18The official Ric Flair.

04:23Wow, what a moment.

04:26There's his son and his daughter taking pictures of their dad.

04:31This has got to be an emotional moment for Ric Flair, without a doubt.

04:34Especially here in Atlanta, Georgia, JR.

04:37It wasn't that long ago that Ric Flair probably thought he would never get

04:40the opportunity for this kind of ovation one more time in his illustrious career.

04:48And I, for one, are damn proud that he's getting that opportunity here tonight.

04:53But I hope that he fully realizes what he's in for.

04:57Got that right.

04:58Some of the things he's done,

05:00I think he's playing right into the hands of Vince McMahon.

05:04The former 16 time world champion has been confessed.

05:08He has been lacerated.

05:09He has been humiliated, all by Mr. McMahon.

05:13And then what'd he do?

05:14He made this match a street fight.

05:16Uh-oh.

05:16No chance, cuz that's what you got.

05:23From Greenwich, Connecticut.

05:25Wow.

05:25The new world champion, Mr. McMahon.

05:33Holy mackerel, JR.

05:35He is jacked.

05:37Mr. McMahon is ripped.

05:39No doubt he has trained like a- A Trojan.

05:43A Trojan?

05:43What does that mean?

05:44A Trojan.

05:45What a stunt.

05:48Both McMahon and Flair are both former WWF champions.

05:55Both have won the Royal Rumble.

05:58Two of the biggest icons in the history of sports entertainment.

06:04I would have never thought this.

06:06Look at this.

06:06Vince McMahon has got muscles and places.

06:09Ric Flair don't even have places.

06:10Look at his arms.

06:11Flair won the 92 Rumble, along with the WWF title.

06:17McMahon won the Rumble in 99.

06:19Uh-oh, wait a minute.

06:20A lot of pride in that ring right now, and it's all on the line, JR.

06:29One man says to beat the man, or to be the man, you gotta beat the man.

06:33And Vince McMahon says he is the man.

06:38We'll find out who's the man, aren't we, JR?

06:39We certainly are.

06:40These men are co-owners of the World Wrestling Federation.

06:44Flair with a huge advantage as far as catch-as-catch-can skills.

06:49But this is not that sort of match.

06:50This is a street fight.

06:51You've been around a long time.

06:52Did you ever think in your life you'd see this match?

06:55Absolutely not, King.

06:56Did you see that look?

06:58Through all the-

06:59Ooh, he's gonna, he's gonna pop.

07:01Look at that chest.

07:04Bodybuilding pose of Mr. McMahon, who quite frankly, as you can see,

07:09has trained like a- How many hours a day does he spend at the gym?

07:13I don't have any idea.

07:15Obviously, a great deal.

07:17Side headlock applied by Mr. McMahon, two legends of our business, meeting for

07:22the first time in history in a match that many people, less than a year ago,

07:27would say that would never, ever be able to occur.

07:30Hey, watch it now.

07:33Look at the power.

07:34Arch shoulder lock by Mr. McMahon.

07:37Look at the pose.

07:39Look at the grief.

07:41Oh, man.

07:42And the strut.

07:43He's doing it all better than Flair.

07:45The pose, the strut.

07:48Another attempt to humiliate Ric Flair here in Atlanta with Ric's children,

07:53two of his children, here at ringside.

07:55That's right, that's what Mr. McMahon said.

07:57He loves to destroy lives.

07:59It turns him off.

08:00Apple purses that.

08:02What do you mean?

08:04If you look like Mr. McMahon, if you had a body like that,

08:07you could turn on just looking in the mirror, wouldn't you?

08:09I don't think so.

08:10You look that good, Jack.

08:12Backing McMahon in that corner.

08:14There's a dirty player in the game there, using fists.

08:17No disqualifications here.

08:18There'll be no count outs in this street fight.

08:20Flair, don't get too cocky yet.

08:27There you go.

08:29Man catching Flair coming in with that kick to the midsection.

08:31Look at this.

08:33Now taking Flair to the corner.

08:37There you go.

08:37Another shoulder block.

08:39A huge shoulder.

08:39Man.

08:41And a knockdown by the reverse elbow by Mr. McMahon.

08:44In this first ever meeting between two of the business's biggest icons.

08:50You got that right, JR.

08:51Hey, look at this.

08:53Ric Flair chopped.

08:54Now, who exactly is the man?

08:58Uh-oh, wait a minute.

09:00Oh, oh, oh.

09:03Oh, Mr. McMahon, in love by the Nature Boy.

09:07And there's that Nature Boy strut.

09:09McMahon just right to the eyes.

09:11He doesn't want any more of those hard chops to that massive chest.

09:15And you saw that?

09:16That's right out of Ric Flair's book.

09:17I've seen him do that a couple of times before, haven't you, JR?

09:20Absolutely.

09:20Look at this.

09:24We're knocked down by Mr. McMahon.

09:26This is not a wrestling match.

09:28This is a street fight.

09:29JR, look at those veins in his arm.

09:31I mean, they're protruding.

09:33They're bulging.

09:35Man, oh, man.

09:37You're a little bit too excited about his body.

09:39Well, I'm just, I'm telling you, I'm absolutely amazed.

09:42Oh, look at Flair.

09:43I've seen him do that a time or two, too.

09:46Oh, losing the band-aid.

09:49McMahon again going downstairs.

09:52I think Flair's got to be a little bit, I think, in shock

09:56might be the term right now.

09:57He would have never thought he'd get this.

09:59Look out!

09:59Oh, my goodness!

10:01Flair upside down.

10:03Say it, JR.

10:04The velocity of Mr. McMahon's strength.

10:06This is the man.

10:08He is the man right now.

10:10Look out!

10:12Flair knocked off the apron by Mr. McMahon.

10:16He's walking the walk.

10:17He's talking the talk.

10:20I guess Flair's finally met his match right here in Atlanta.

10:23Flair's had many challenges in front and behind the camera

10:27here in Atlanta, but none perhaps as deadly

10:30as this one here tonight.

10:31Oh!

10:32Oh, a shot to the head.

10:34Remember, this is a street fight with no disqualifications.

10:38And look at Flair's head print in that sign.

10:41All right, Vance, just go ahead and throw him out there.

10:45Like yesterday, Vance, let's get on with the rumble.

10:49McMahon makes it once he beats Flair.

10:52Once McMahon humiliates Flair here at the Royal Rumble,

10:55the Flair will never want to show his face in public again.

10:58And Mr. McMahon can buy back that thought.

11:02That's not exactly the only reason he's doing it.

11:05You know why he's doing it, JR?

11:07I figured you'd tell me.

11:08Yeah, because he gets off on it.

11:11Vance is getting off on this right now.

11:13Well, that's not a reason I need to conjure up.

11:15Thank you.

11:15So, so little.

11:17I love it.

11:20You love a guy that gets off on humiliating others?

11:24This conversation's going down the wrong road.

11:26Watch it.

11:28Ooh!

11:29Hey!

11:30That hit Flair.

11:32Careful, he's bleeding!

11:34Flair has been lacerated.

11:35Oh, my goodness!

11:36Flair has been busted wide open by Mr. McMahon.

11:41And those trashcan shots, the signed shots.

11:47I think that maybe that same cut that Vince

11:49opened up with that pipe a couple weeks ago reopened.

11:52Pow!

11:53Three-line hand to the ring.

11:55Oh, look at that!

11:56Knee to the abdomen.

11:57Right now, Mr. McMahon-

11:59He's relentless.

12:00Is owning the Nature Boy.

12:01Yeah.

12:02Ooh!

12:03Flair, off his face, bouncing off that ring post.

12:06Let me ask you a question.

12:07You think maybe the icon, Ric Flair,

12:09might have just underestimated Mr. McMahon a little bit?

12:13All right.

12:14That's a good question.

12:15I can't answer it.

12:17And McMahon now measuring Flair.

12:20Oh, watch it!

12:21Oh!

12:22He's bleeding profusely here.

12:24Give me my camera.

12:25This is a Kodak moment.

12:28I never would have thought this.

12:29Look at this.

12:30Trying to measure the width of Flair's shoulders.

12:35A slam!

12:36Boom!

12:38Flair being slammed right here at ringside.

12:41There is children.

12:42Hey!

12:44They almost took your camera.

12:45That's what I just said.

12:47It's a great idea.

12:47You want a record of this.

12:49Take a picture.

12:51We're going to take a picture.

12:53Oh, wait.

12:53Vince is going to take a picture of himself.

12:56That's a better side right in front of your kids, Vince.

12:58How about this?

12:59How about this?

13:00That's a great picture right there.

13:02This is fantastic.

13:03Right across the man's children.

13:05Did I get 8 by 10 to that?

13:07You got kids coming back.

13:09That's a man you like.

13:10I don't know if I'm really going to be getting wrecked.

13:12Whatever you say.

13:13You want to give me no damage done to the camera?

13:15Flair is flowing.

13:18We're talking about a crimson mask.

13:22Get that film to Photomat, quick.

13:25I'd like to see those before the rumble's over tonight.

13:27You know how long Vince has been thinking about this, JR?

13:30Salivating about this?

13:32Now what?

13:33You don't think.

13:37McMahon now breaking those legs of Ric Flair.

13:40I'll tell you what, King, that's a pretty smart strategy

13:43because if you incapacitate Flair's legs,

13:45Flair's going to have a hell of a time

13:47utilizing his bones.

13:57Wouldn't that be fantastic?

13:58McMahon driving that knee right into the ankle of Ric Flair.

14:01Oh, man.

14:02Into the knee and the calf.

14:04Right across his shin as well.

14:06What do you like doing, JR?

14:08Knee drop on the ankle?

14:11That is, I hate to admit it,

14:13there is a method to Mr. McMahon's madness

14:16in incapacitating Flair's legs

14:18which will bring Ric Flair's figure four meaningless.

14:24Oh, now what?

14:25Great strategy.

14:26What a match.

14:27Now what?

14:28Come on.

14:29That's too good, son.

14:30Come on.

14:31Oh.

14:32McMahon working on Ric Flair in the outside.

14:35Ritching that knee.

14:37JR, you would have never thought

14:39JR, you would have never dreamed

14:40that this match would unfold like this, would you?

14:42I wouldn't know.

14:43You're absolutely right.

14:44That's what training does for you.

14:46Nothing.

14:47Half the time Mr. McMahon spends running this company

14:49is actually done from the gym.

14:54Wait a minute.

14:55Wait a minute here.

14:56Right now, what?

14:57Wait a second.

14:58It's a street fight, JR.

14:59We know what it is.

15:00Okay, that means anything goes.

15:02From the nose to the toes.

15:03Oh, look at that.

15:06I am so impressed.

15:09Look at this.

15:11I never thought I'd say that

15:13Mr. McMahon is beating the hell out of Ric Flair.

15:17He's relentless.

15:18You know what?

15:19He's turned on right now.

15:22He said this turns him on.

15:24Flair getting beat like a government mule here

15:26by his 50% business partner, Mr. McMahon.

15:30I don't think even a government mule can take this much punishment.

15:35Now what?

15:37McMahon has worked on Flair's legs unmercifully.

15:40Why don't you just tap?

15:41Look at this.

15:42Oh, wait a minute.

15:43He is gonna do it.

15:44Oh, how humiliating.

15:45Oh, the final insult.

15:47How humiliating.

15:48This would ruin Flair's whole professional life

15:51to end with a submission loss to Mr. McMahon.

15:55Mr. McMahon really went to school for this.

15:57Come on, Flair.

15:58This is not the way an icon like Ric Flair wants to go out.

16:02And he almost did there with a pin.

16:05Sometimes you don't always get what you want.

16:07I'm afraid this is the way Ric Flair is gonna go out.

16:10Just go ahead and tap out.

16:13That figure four is not to listen to these people here in Atlanta.

16:17Over 16,000 getting behind the Nature Boy here.

16:21Wait a minute, Mr. McMahon.

16:22Don't let him turn you over.

16:23Keep the pressure on.

16:24Three, two, one.

16:25Another near fall.

16:27More pressure.

16:28More pressure.

16:29Flair's trying to turn McMahon to the stomach.

16:34Look at the power of the figure four.

16:41And now McMahon is feeling it.

16:42And McMahon, like the scalded dog he can be,

16:46scurried to the outside.

16:48Talked about magicians.

16:49There was a great escape right there.

16:51Mr. McMahon, the escape artist.

16:55Come on, rub it up.

16:56And notice the relenting.

16:59What do you think he should be doing?

17:01I'm not criticizing him.

17:02I'm just reporting on it.

17:03But he's hurting that knee, that leg.

17:05And now he's not doing it.

17:07You're doing a great job, Mr. McMahon.

17:09Keep it up.

17:10Hey, look at that lead pipe.

17:11Wait a damn minute.

17:12This match is about to-

17:13Wait a damn minute.

17:14That's a lead pipe that he broke.

17:16He busted Flair open with earlier this month on the card.

17:20We've got to give Vince credit.

17:21He's really prepared for this match.

17:23This match is about to become a lead pipe cinch.

17:25I know it's legal, but it's not very damn ethical.

17:30If it's legal-

17:31What's your point?

17:32Oh, yeah.

17:33I guess I've got to go.

17:34Come on, Vince.

17:35Go.

17:36Oh!

17:37Another blow.

17:38Just as McMahon struck the hip flare right between the eyes

17:42with that lead pipe, McMahon got a low blow.

17:45Yeah, well, how ethical was that, JR?

17:47And I suspect that I get turned on when it's not wearing a cup.

17:52That was just about as ethical as the way Ric Flair stole half of this company from Mr. McMahon.

17:56Look out!

17:57Ooh!

17:58God!

17:59Flair is lighting McMahon up!

18:01And McMahon can't stand that!

18:03No!

18:04Ooh!

18:05Great right hand from that bloody and blood-battered nature boy, Ric Flair.

18:10Watch it!

18:11Those cups can stop your heart!

18:13I don't think McMahon has any heart.

18:15If he does, it's blacker than sin.

18:18Well, you may pay for that remark, JR.

18:21Watch it!

18:22Ooh!

18:23McMahon couldn't have blown that security railing.

18:26He can literally pay.

18:27He can doctor pay, you know?

18:28What is this Flair doing now?

18:30Wait, those are expensive monitors!

18:33Oh, wait a minute.

18:34You're going to have to pay for that yourself, Flair!

18:35You got to!

18:36Oh, my!

18:37He hit Mr. McMahon in the face!

18:39Oh, my!

18:40I can't believe it!

18:41What are you thinking?

18:42He hit McMahon right in the face with that television monitor!

18:44You can't do that!

18:45You can't do that!

18:46He snapped, JR!

18:48No security!

18:49Another one, another one.

18:50Look, he's trying to look at himself!

18:52Another one, another one.

18:53Eagle Mania, watch this again!

18:56That metal monitor!

18:59Flair, you'll see how he measures it right now.

19:02Oh, yeah!

19:03Right there on Mr. McMahon's face.

19:05He knocked poor Vince Flair over and up under the table!

19:08And now McMahon has been busted open!

19:10Well, what do you expect of that monitor?

19:12Oh, watch it!

19:14Good God Almighty!

19:15This has become barbaric!

19:19Flair's gone crazy!

19:23Oh, look out, Vince!

19:24Oh, no!

19:25The clearness flowing on both men in this street fight.

19:28Here at the Royal Rumble, two of the biggest icons in the history of sports entertainment

19:33have literally beaten the hell out of each other.

19:36I can't believe that we're seeing millionaire blood there!

19:40Vince!

19:41Maybe you should think twice.

19:43The dirtiest player in the game, Nature Boy, Ric Flair.

19:49Have medical attention standing by!

19:52He's biting him!

19:53He's biting Vince!

19:56Ric Flair's like an animal!

19:58He's a rabbit dog!

20:00Ric Flair has snapped!

20:01And my God, what a chop!

20:03And look at these sick kids!

20:04And Ric Flair's taking pictures of them!

20:06It was alright when McMahon tried to humiliate their own daddy right in front of them.

20:10That was okay.

20:11Those pictures are...

20:14Look at this!

20:15This is awful!

20:16Look at Mr. McMahon!

20:17He's begging off!

20:18He doesn't want any more of Ric Flair!

20:22McMahon kicked out!

20:23Boy, Vince McMahon is a bloody mess!

20:26But so is Ric Flair!

20:29See, Vince McMahon was never ready for a dirty player like this!

20:32He never dreamed that somebody would stoop to these lows!

20:37Oh no!

20:38A new low!

20:39Another low blow!

20:40And down goes McMahon!

20:43He may have the biggest grapefruits in sports entertainment, but they've both been rattled!

20:48Those grapefruits have turned into tangerines!

20:50Now what?

20:52Oh my God!

20:53You dirty cheater!

20:54McMahon brought that pipe in the ring!

20:56You can't do this!

20:57And Flair's going to use it!

20:58Vince!

21:01He cracked his skull!

21:02Sweet moral proof!

21:04I heard it!

21:07Cracked your skull!

21:08McMahon got...

21:10He got cracked to the heaven!

21:12And now you know what's coming next!

21:15You can feel it!

21:17You can sense it!

21:18Is Vince even conscious?

21:19And you can see it!

21:22Ric Flair's figure four!

21:24McMahon in the middle of the ring!

21:26And running back!

21:28The pain brought Vince back!

21:29Look at his face!

21:30The pain is to the face of Mr. McMahon!

21:33Withstand it!

21:34Flair will break that leg!

21:36The Big Man Touch!

21:37The Big Man Touch!

21:38The Big Man Touch!

21:39The Big Man Touch!

21:45Ric Flair came back to pay for you!

21:48He came back as the warrior he is!

21:51Ric Flair came back to Atlanta!

21:53And he has defeated Mr. McMahon!

21:56In a bloody street fight!

21:59They're probably poppin' tonight, aren't they?

22:01I cannot believe this!

22:04And they should be proud of it!

22:05Somehow Flair reached down!

22:08But I thought he was finished for sure!

22:13Boy, what a hellacious board meeting!

22:15Where else with the WWF

22:17would you have a board meeting

22:20between the two owners of the company

22:23and it end up like this?

22:25How can these men be partners?

22:28Co-business owners!

22:29I've never seen anything like this!

22:31We're looking down at Mr. McMahon!

22:34But you've got to wonder

22:36will there be any retaliation?

22:40Will there be a price to pay

22:42down the road for Ric Flair?
