00:00Welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw.
00:05Vince McMahon here along with good old JR and Jerry, the King Lawler.
00:09Wait a minute, Mark Barrett coming out here right now.
00:12Set once again to perhaps become the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental
00:17Championship.
00:18And based on what you said and or did, to say, well, if I were you I'd think I'd
00:23keep my distance from the Wild Man.
00:25He's even thinking of what you're looking over here for.
00:29Don't get nervous again, you get nervous is when you face Sable for the-
00:33Hey, hey, my goodness, look at this.
00:38The fireworks going off just like it's likely to go off, ladies and gentlemen,
00:41and did indeed just last week when the King lost to Sable.
00:44He lost the Milton Bradley Karate Fighters Holiday Tournament Championship.
00:48And of course, we're gonna show you just a moment exactly what happened.
00:52And the King, well, he got a little more than he bargained for.
00:54JR, let's take you back to last week.
00:56Well, it was last week right here on Raw, Lawler demanded a rematch.
01:00It got a little bit fresh.
01:02And then Mero got attacked, but look who came to the rescue.
01:05It was Goldust.
01:06I couldn't believe it.
01:07Goldust, Hunter Hearst Townsley.
01:11And well, look at the look on the King's face.
01:15King, you know you're in trouble, don't you?
01:17Sable might come over here and slap that look right off his face.
01:21All right, here he comes, Hunter Hearst Townsley,
01:23who will be the champion JR up to the matchup?
01:25Well, this should be a great matchup.
01:27And remember, very special rules here tonight, folks.
01:29If Hunter Hearst Townsley gets himself disqualified, or
01:33if Townsley gets accounted out, then Townsley will lose the Intercontinental
01:37title to the Wild Man right here tonight on Raw.
01:40Look at the proboscis on him.
01:42Hey, McMahon, quit talking about his nose.
01:45What about George Washington's nose?
01:47All great men have prominent proboscises.
01:50How many times do I have to tell you that?
01:51If that Sable comes around here- What about if you have a little puck nose?
01:54That means you're not very- I said all great men, not kings.
01:57It doesn't pertain to kings.
02:01That Sable comes even anywhere close to this announce table.
02:04I may just reach up there and snap.
02:05That's gotta be a wig she's wearing, one of those cheap Dolly Parton wigs.
02:09What a sore loser the King is.
02:11And will Hunter Hearst Townsley be a sore loser here tonight on Raw,
02:14ladies and gentlemen?
02:15Yes, of course.
02:17Wild Man Mark Merrill can pin Mr. Helmsley.
02:20He can make him submit.
02:21And as you brought out earlier on, JR, that's not the only way you can win a title.
02:24Wait a minute.
02:26That's golden, that's good.
02:27Yeah, Goldust.
02:29And a perplexed look on the kisser.
02:31Where is he?
02:31Where is Goldust?
02:32Wild Man, as well as Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Goldust, ladies and
02:35gentlemen, has been granted by Gorilla Monsoon the opportunity to meet
02:39the Intercontinental Champion.
02:41Whoever wins this match will meet Goldust at the Royal Rumble.
02:44There he is.
02:45Here he comes, coming out through the thongs.
02:47Look at him, coming out through the crown.
02:49Goldust along with his director, Marlena.
02:52Yeah.
02:53Well, they're gonna give him a seat in heaven.
02:55And watch this one.
02:57And King getting all the more antsy.
02:59Of course, it was the King who popped the question, so to speak, to Goldust.
03:04And as a result of that, Goldust answered emphatically and popped the key.
03:08Wait, look out, here we go.
03:11Merrill with his right hand.
03:12It's not wasting any time here.
03:14Lawbreak.
03:15King, what do you have to say?
03:17Look at that look on the King's face.
03:19Come on, look at this Mark Merrill.
03:20What's he doing?
03:21Wild man now, sitting on a harness, definitely gonna buckle in.
03:24And back.
03:24Hunter.
03:25My goodness.
03:28Wild man again.
03:32Wild man Mark Merrill with everything to gain and nothing to lose, basically.
03:37I talked to Merrill in the locker room before I went on the air.
03:39Upside down goes Helmsley.
03:42Merrill thinks this could be his last chance for the Intercontinental title.
03:45As a result of that, uh-oh, desperate men do desperate things.
03:48And Hunter's down.
03:49Uh-oh.
03:50Hey, wait a minute.
03:51Look out here.
03:52Wait a minute.
03:53Hey, wait a minute.
03:54Hey, wait a minute.
03:55Hey, wait a minute.
03:56Hey, wait a minute.
03:57Hey, wait a minute.
03:58Hey, wait a minute.
03:59Hey, wait a minute.
04:00Hey, wait a minute.
04:01Wild man going after the King.
04:03And the King is heading into tall timber.
04:06Yes, indeed.
04:07Wild man Mark Merrill chasing Jerry the King over.
04:10Wild man gonna watch himself.
04:11He can make out it.
04:12Look out.
04:13Look out.
04:14Hunter earns Helmsley leveling.
04:17Wild man Mark Merrill.
04:20And all Sable can do is watch as Wild Man is slammed down.
04:24I'll tell you something.
04:25Neither of these men want to be counted out in this situation.
04:28Oh, no.
04:29Or disqualified.
04:30If he nails him in the chair, he's gonna be disqualified.
04:32Hit him.
04:33I mean, don't hit him, but-
04:34Helmsley.
04:35Helmsley.
04:36I think he heard you.
04:37Would have been disqualified.
04:38The official right there on top of everything.
04:41If either man is counted out or disqualified, especially Mr. Helmsley,
04:44he will lose the title as Goldust and Marlena look on.
04:47Of course, ladies and gentlemen, it was in your house,
04:50it's time in which allegedly there was some sort of a,
04:54well, some sort of proposal, if you would,
04:56made by Hunter Hearst Helmsley towards Marlena
04:59that really upset Goldust.
05:01Let's just cut to the chase.
05:02I was standing right there.
05:03It was a proposition.
05:04Nice arm drag takeover.
05:06Simply a proposition by Helmsley,
05:08who thinks he can have any woman in the world,
05:10including Marlena.
05:12Yes, indeed.
05:13And Goldust taking great exception.
05:15Oh, look at that.
05:16What a close line with the Wildman.
05:18Wildman taking it to home.
05:20Look at that down on the canvas.
05:22Wildman, quite the aggressor in this matchup.
05:25And again, so was Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
05:27Oh, look at that.
05:28Clever maneuver on the part of Mr. Helmsley.
05:30If Mero truly feels that this could be his last opportunity
05:33to meet Helmsley for the Intercontinental title,
05:35I think we'll see Mero take a lot of chances,
05:37maybe a lot of unnecessary high-risk maneuvers,
05:40more than normal for the Wildman.
05:42And then again, Hunter Hearst Helmsley
05:44likely to take fewer chances than normal
05:46because if he is disqualified or counted out,
05:48he coughs up the title.
05:50Oh, the rope now.
05:51Oh, with a top to the outside.
05:53Mero spending more time outside
05:55than he is inside the ring
05:57as Helmsley has bought himself some time
05:59and Goldust, who, as we mentioned,
06:01will meet the Intercontinental champion
06:03at the Royal Rumble on January the 19th
06:05in San Antonio.
06:06Yes, Goldust looking on.
06:08Raw man Mark Mero versus Hunter Hearst Helmsley
06:10for the Intercontinental championship.
06:12You know, we talk about the Intercontinental title.
06:14We must say that the honky-tonk man
06:16who says he's the greatest Intercontinental champion
06:18of all time is scheduled to join us
06:20sometime tonight.
06:22And talk about joining us, ladies and gentlemen,
06:24yes, tonight.
06:25In addition to the Intercontinental title match,
06:27if you're watching, you got Bret the Hitman Hart
06:29against the bad guy Razor Ramon.
06:31Psycho Sid is gonna be here.
06:33And also joining us, Shawn Michaels.
06:35You're talking about attitude
06:37all over the place here tonight.
06:39My goodness on Raw.
06:41It's all about attitude.
06:43And when you got the WWF champion
06:45along with Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels
06:47all together under one roof,
06:49anything could happen.
06:51Here we go.
06:53Hunter Hearst Helmsley now
06:55with an opportunity if he can get Wildman
06:57back inside here.
06:59Wildman going for the shoulder block.
07:01Nicely done.
07:03I wonder if we're gonna see the King again.
07:05Who knows what's gonna happen.
07:08Look at that bridge by the Wildman.
07:10Great athleticism by these two great young athletes.
07:12It's anybody's guess who's gonna be
07:14the Intercontinental champion.
07:16Here we go.
07:18Almost got him.
07:20Who will be the champion?
07:22Stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen.
07:24The match continues.
07:26All right, kid.
07:28Let's see what you got.
07:30WWF Full Metal The Album.
07:32The entrance themes of your favorite
07:34WWF superstars.
07:36WWF Full Metal The Album.
07:38We're back with more Monday Night Raw.
07:40The Intercontinental title is up for grabs
07:42and up for grabs right now.
07:44The Wildman, Mark Merrill, again
07:46reminded, ladies and gentlemen,
07:48that if Hunter Hearst Helmsley is disqualified
07:50or is counted out as just as good
07:52as a pin or a submission,
07:54he loses the title and Goldust
07:56is looking for a good reason, JR.
07:58He certainly is, Goldust.
08:00He'll meet the Intercontinental champion
08:02at the Royal Rumble before 70,000 fans
08:04in the Alamo Dome, San Antonio, Texas.
08:06Yes, and that's in less than four weeks.
08:08Oh, dropping the knee.
08:10Is Hunter Hearst Helmsley for the count?
08:12A cover and a kick out by the Wildman.
08:14Helmsley has competed a very deliberate
08:16match here, not wanting to take too many
08:18chances, and in the process,
08:20Helmsley has kept Merrill grounded.
08:22Wildman hammering away.
08:24The Wildman unquestionably will
08:26take a risk, that's for sure.
08:28Here in the World Wrestling Federation,
08:30you have to be successful.
08:32A counter to the head scissors.
08:34What a great Christmas present.
08:36We're just 48 hours away from Christmas Day
08:38for the Wildman here.
08:40Yes, and we're going to need to lift to the chest area.
08:42Wildman, Mark Merrill, perhaps just minutes away
08:44from becoming the Intercontinental champion
08:46to the outside. Now, here we go.
08:48Here's that high-risk maneuver we like to talk about
08:50from the top end.
08:52Right in the chest.
08:54Is that enough for the cover and the count
08:56and the victory? Oh, not quite.
08:58You can't take anything away from Helmsley.
09:00Helmsley's a great Intercontinental champion.
09:02I don't want to start an argument with a hokey-tonk man,
09:04but Helmsley breaks right up there.
09:06I don't know if he's a great champion or not.
09:08He's a great competitor, but
09:10somehow it dropped nicely down.
09:12Gold dust looking on, ladies and gentlemen.
09:14Does he want to face the Wildman,
09:16or does he want to face Hunter Hurst?
09:18You think so?
09:20It's either the Wild thing or the Merrill Salt.
09:22From the top, Wildman, Mark Merrill,
09:24Helmsley's on his feet and
09:26oh, underneath.
09:28Helmsley now with an opportunity to capitalize
09:30on the Wildman, Mark Merrill, who is hurt.
09:32Oh, and wait.
09:34Here we go.
09:36Yes, the pedigree. That'll be it.
09:38Nobody gets up. Nobody gets up
09:40from the pedigree, and Helmsley
09:42has won it. Merrill took that
09:44one big risk, and it cost him.
09:46And Sable
09:48very upset.
09:50Wildman, Mark Merrill,
09:52a great competitor, and I'm sure
09:54we'll be seeing a great deal more of the Wildman
09:56on the left, Mr. Helmsley, victorious
09:58with the pedigree as we take you back.
10:00Well, you eliminate this one mistake,
10:02and Merrill is controlling the matchup.
10:04But that's what happens. You make one mistake
10:06against a great athlete like Helmsley,
10:08and you get pedigreed right out of your boots.
10:10And
10:12gold dust and Marlena
10:14looking on, and there's still some
10:16fight left in Merrill. There's always some fight
10:18left in the Wildman.
10:20Wildman, Mark Merrill being restrained by the
10:22official. I'm sure he will have
10:24another opportunity
10:26one day.
10:28He's got to get back in line.
10:30He's got to earn the opportunity.
10:32Obviously, Merrill very, very upset.
10:34Nonetheless,
10:36it will be gold dust now facing Hunter
10:38Hurst Helmsley in less than
10:40four weeks in the Alamo Dome
10:42at the Royal Rumble.
10:44Helmsley,
10:46as you stated before, making a proposition, was it?
10:48Is that the way you stated it? That's what it was.
10:50Wait a minute. Shut up. What's this?
10:54I guess this means
10:56it's you and me
10:58at the Royal Rumble.
11:00Well, at the Rumble,
11:02I'm going to show you
11:04what it's like
11:06to be a real
11:08man.
11:14And Marlena,
11:16you surely
11:18are going to find out
11:20what it's like
11:22to be with a real
11:24man.
11:26And a gold dust, obviously taking
11:28exception to the remarks of Hunter Hurst Helmsley.
11:30And
11:32Helmsley, wait a minute.
11:34Helmsley thinks he's a real man.
11:36Let me tell you, real men don't run
11:38and real men don't read memos.
11:40And Helmsley's
11:42heading to the locker room.
11:44Hunter Hurst Helmsley is out of here, but
11:46he'll be headed, ladies and gentlemen, to San Antonio,
11:48Texas at the Alamo Dome
11:51where Goldust could once again
11:53capture the gold at Mr.
11:55Helmsley's expense.
11:57And what I'm a little bit overwhelmed about is the fact that
11:59Goldust's rising popularity
12:01with the fans. It's amazing.
12:03Well, he is bizarre, no doubt
12:05about that, and he is different, and
12:07we don't exactly know what or
12:09who he is, but we certainly know what or who
12:11he's not. He made that very clear
12:13last week. Nonetheless,
12:15Goldust with Marlena
12:17full of more questions than he has answers,
12:19and Goldust will be facing
12:21Mr. Helmsley for the Intercontinental
12:23Championship at the Alamo Dome.
12:27All right, let's take you back to
12:29last week, ladies and gentlemen.
12:31Respective wives were looking
12:33on in the audience. Billy and Bart
12:35were going at it, tooth and nail,
12:37as we take you back down. Take a look
12:39at this. Key thing to keep your eye
12:41on here, look at Billy Goode's head. Watch it
12:43snap back here from the stun gun
12:45maneuver by Bart, and then look
12:47at Billy's legs. We'll take another look
12:49at it here, and Billy Goode,
12:51that whiplash
12:53effect, I think, is what injured
12:55Billy Goode's neck, and Billy Goode has
12:57been injury prone, as a matter of fact,
12:59in his WWF career, has even had
13:01neck surgery. And, uh,
13:03as we take another look at it, Billy's
13:05wife, Tina, in attendance,
13:07and again you see the head snap back
13:09partial, temporary
13:11paralysis is the prognosis,
13:13and certainly
13:15they're hoping that Billy will
13:17regain full use of his
13:19limbs, but unfortunately,
13:21as you can see by the unusual state
13:23of, you made reference to earlier on, the legs
13:25unusual state of Billy,
13:27who allegedly now
13:29has no use of his lower limbs.
13:31That's what we hear. Bart,
13:33however, was on live wire
13:35this past
13:37Saturday morning, and here's what Bart had to say about it.
13:39What happened was purely
13:41an accident, could happen to either one of us,
13:43and, uh, you know,
13:45I wish it could have happened to me, you know, I feel
13:47horrible about it, you know, I've tried to talk to Billy
13:49several times, and Tina,
13:51and they're just, they're quite upset
13:53with me, you know, they're blaming me
13:55for it. And, like I said, I've tried
13:57to talk to him, and he's not really wanting to talk,
13:59so, Billy, I just want to say, if you're out
14:01there, and if you're listening, I just want you to know
14:03that I'm sorry, and I did mean for this to happen.
14:05Yes, indeed, as
14:07we all are, and, oh
14:09my goodness. Here comes some holiday
14:11cheer for you, Santa's little helper.
14:13Oh my goodness, take
14:15a look, if you would.
14:17It is Sonny.
14:19Oh, wow.
14:21I think she's been
14:23on Donner, on Blitzen.
14:25Uh-huh, and Sonny waving
14:27in his capacity crowd, and they're waving
14:29back, no doubt about it. I think they're waving
14:31mistletoe.
14:33Some of these, uh, some of these young, uh, Piplick-based
14:35young lads looking for a kiss.
14:37Rudolph's nose would blinkin', would be a blinkin'
14:39and a twinkin', I think, right about now.
14:41Now, mind your manners, will you?
14:43As always.
14:45Merry Christmas.
14:47Have a seat.
14:51Oh, put your Christmas
14:53dress on and all that. My goodness.
14:55Things are looking up here
14:57at the World Wrestling Federation, no doubt about it.
14:59Merry Christmas, everybody. Uh-huh.
15:01Rocky Maivia is gonna be joining us
15:03up now while you came out, though, isn't he?
15:05Of course not, I'll sit next to you and wish you a
15:07Merry Christmas.
15:09Please. All right, stay with us.
15:11We'll be right back with more World Wrestling
15:13Federation action. What's the matter with that?
15:15Do you have a problem?
15:37Here comes, ladies and gentlemen, Rocky Maivia.
15:39That's one guy I'd like to single out, Vince.
15:41Uh-oh.
15:43Absolutely.
15:45Yes, indeed, he is quite
15:47the formidable individual
15:49making his way up the ladder
15:51of success.
15:53Quite a debut not long ago
15:55with a record-breaking
15:57number of wins.
15:59And now, here he is,
16:01Rocky Maivia.
16:03Uh-oh.
16:05Quite a debut not long ago
16:07with Rocky Maivia. Well, you're certainly right
16:09about that for a change. Rocky Maivia
16:11right now the only rookie
16:13scheduled to compete in the Royal Rumble.
16:15And Jim Cornette has
16:17tried very hard to sign Rocky Maivia.
16:19Obviously, Rocky has
16:21said no.
16:23Yes, ladies and gentlemen,
16:25Rocky Maivia, a newcomer.
16:27Speaking of new here in the World Wrestling Federation,
16:29how about it? Shotgun!
16:31Saturday night, coming your way
16:33January 4th. Check your local listings.
16:35It is late night, Saturday night,
16:37as you have never seen it before.
16:39Live from Mirage Nightclub
16:41in Midtown New York City.
16:43And again, we'll have
16:45some highlights right back here on Raw.
16:47But live, shotgun,
16:49Saturday night.
16:51Salvatore Sincere wanted this
16:53matchup.
16:55It's another
16:57opportunity for Sincere to put
16:59a loss on Rocky Maivia.
17:01Salvatore couldn't get it done
17:03eight days ago during the free-for-all.
17:05Well, that was because of Mr.
17:07Cornette and the use of the tennis racket
17:09and his disqualification. Here we go now.
17:11Oh, the rope in. Down goes
17:13Maivia. There we go, Rocky.
17:15Good boy. Nice maneuver.
17:17Good boy. You say that like he's
17:19a dog or something. Good boy.
17:21Most men are.
17:23Are you impressed thus far, Sonny,
17:25with Rocky's performance? Oh, I am so
17:27impressed. He's so handsome and
17:29muscular and he's got one heck of a
17:31talent, don't you think? Oh, extraordinary.
17:33I forgot about that when it comes to the wrestling
17:35acumen. And
17:37again, might you be
17:39attempting to persuade him to sign on the
17:41dotted line? Well, you know, Jim Cornette tried and he didn't
17:43have any luck. Well, look at Jim and look
17:45at me. I think it's going to be a completely
17:47different story if I can get my claws into
17:49Rocky Maivia. Your
17:51claws as in, of course, Santo.
17:53Sure, of course.
17:55What else would I possibly am, you know?
17:57Good girl.
17:59Yep, there you have it.
18:01By the way, ladies and gentlemen, next week we'll be
18:03live. Monday Night Raw.
18:05Goldust squaring off against
18:07Jerry The King Lawler.
18:09Oh my goodness.
18:11Knickerbocker Arena will never be the same.
18:13Albany, New York, the setting.
18:15Down from the top rope. You know, never mind next
18:17week. I'm looking forward to this.
18:19Live in the studio for LiveWire. I'll have
18:21Psycho Sid as a guest.
18:23Matter of fact, you will. Oh, yeah.
18:25Looking mighty fine on
18:27LiveWire as well as
18:29tonight on Raw. Oh, absolutely.
18:31And Sal Sincere with a clever maneuver. Sal
18:33Sincere trying to capitalize over the hip. No.
18:35Reversal there. Sal Sincere.
18:37Oh, look out. Oh! Sincere is
18:39wrestling a smarter match. That's not true.
18:41Than the last time that he met Rocky
18:43Maivia. And also still to come
18:45here tonight, Bret the Hitman
18:47Hart. New attitude
18:49and more.
18:51Yeah, I'll say it. Oh my goodness, look at that.
18:53That was a good move by
18:55Salvatore Sincere. Oh, his lip
18:57is bleeding. And Sal
18:59Sincere
19:01sending Maivia out of the camera. Sort of
19:03reverse pulled off there. Nice maneuver. Here's
19:05a cover. And...
19:07Uh-oh. Still undefeated. Rocky
19:09Maivia. But
19:11as we continue on. I know
19:13Rocky's mom and dad are watching down in Tampa, Florida
19:15when it was semi-very happy holiday.
19:19Look of concern on
19:21the kisser of Jim Cornette. That's one
19:23of the biggest polyester jackets I
19:25think I have ever seen. Uh-oh.
19:27Even me.
19:29And, uh,
19:31you can see.
19:33Sonny has a
19:35look on your face. I think he might need
19:37my help or something. I don't know.
19:39He had the upper hand a minute ago and
19:41he had to have cheated that Sincere.
19:43I don't cheat. If I was in Rocky's
19:45corner, everything would be fair and square.
19:47What would you advise Rocky
19:49in terms of the way he should wrestle?
19:51What sort of advice
19:53would you give Rocky?
19:55Well, listen to me. First of all, everything
19:57I say. Okay. I mean, it's
19:59been proven.
20:01I've been a manager of champions.
20:03No doubt about that. But I don't know.
20:05Maybe he's still a little bit naive.
20:07But if I could teach him a little bit of what I know,
20:09maybe we can overcome that.
20:11I am known to corrupt young men
20:13now and then.
20:15All right.
20:17Professional advice. Oh, absolutely.
20:19What did you think I meant?
20:21That's exactly what I thought you meant.
20:23No, no. It was a look on JR's face.
20:25JR? JR.
20:27What? I didn't do anything. It was a look on your face,
20:29apparently. Well, you misread my face.
20:31I was just...
20:33And that's the easy thing to do.
20:35Rocky Maivia in the Royal Rumble.
20:37You got to think that all these veterans,
20:39the 29 veterans in that matchup,
20:41are going to do all they can not to let
20:43this young stallion
20:45do that thing. And how anybody
20:47can predict the winner of a Royal Rumble.
20:49Rock cover, a count, and Rocky
20:51kicking out. Well, you know, if Rocky
20:53was to win the Royal Rumble and go on to WrestleMania
20:55and say he's victorious there, he'd probably be
20:57one of the youngest champions we've ever had, huh?
20:59That's right. And how nice would it be if you were right there
21:01by his side? Oh, wouldn't that be great? My first singles
21:03champion? Wow.
21:05Yeah, anything can happen. It's the World Wrestling Federation.
21:07I think I better make that my
21:09New Year's resolution.
21:11Speaking of that, have you bought
21:13a Christmas present? I was wondering about that.
21:15Well, actually I did. You really want to know what it is?
21:17No surprise. You're going to tell the whole world?
21:19It's a little smelly. Oh!
21:21Oh, I told you.
21:23Cornette, the new Gingrich
21:25of the WWF, doesn't have
21:27a lot of ethics. You know, I used to live in Georgia.
21:29A lot of folks in Georgia have a shortage
21:31of ethics. And right now,
21:33no shortage of aggressiveness on the part
21:35of Rocky Maivia, who just decks
21:37Salvatore Sincere. You know,
21:39it's hard to believe how big this kid is.
21:41275. 275.
21:43This amazing agility and quickness.
21:45And there's Sullivan right there.
21:47Good DDT right there.
21:49The float over and the DDT.
21:51He's on a roll now.
21:53Alright, let's take another look at it.
21:55And let's listen to it as well.
21:57Oh!
21:59And look what's happening now. Shoulder breaker
22:01coming up. Yes!
22:03There we go. Hard cover. Hard count.
22:05Yes!
22:07There we go.
22:09He's gonna be very pleased.
22:11He's a part of the Christmas present.
22:13Oh, that's what happened.
22:15You know, as far as Santa Claus is concerned,
22:17he's gonna ask me if I've been a good girl.
22:19I've been very bad. But you know what?
22:21It doesn't matter. Because what Sonny wants,
22:23Sonny gets. And Sonny wants Rocky Maivia.
22:25I see.
22:27Thank you very much for joining us.
22:29Very good.
22:31He's so sweet.
22:35You look good in that hat, McMahon.
22:37Very good.
22:39You're about as sharp as these two yahoos.
22:41George and Adam.
22:43Oh, man. You know where we are right now.
22:45We're in the Alamo Dome Tunnel. It leads to the ring.
22:47This is the very tunnel that Psycho Sid
22:49and Shawn Michaels are gonna be in.
22:51Oh, God. Can you imagine the adrenaline going through Psycho Sid's veins?
22:53Oh, man. He's the man. He's the man.
22:55Imagine this. The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels,
22:57the hometown boy,
22:5970,000 screaming fans
23:01as he makes his grand entrance.
23:03Uh, George?
23:05Uh, I think we made a wrong turn.
23:07Ladies and gentlemen,
23:09would you please welcome
23:11the World Wrestling
23:13Federation Champion,
23:15Psycho Sid!
23:19Well, I'll tell you something, folks.
23:21With Shawn Michaels
23:23in the locker room area,
23:25with Bret Hart here ready to compete
23:27later here tonight on Raw,
23:29the whole room could blow off this place
23:31any moment because
23:33every single athlete, especially
23:35Bret Hart, especially Shawn Michaels,
23:37have their sights set
23:39on the WWF title.
23:41The big difference is,
23:43Shawn Michaels has a direct opportunity
23:45in his hometown before
23:4770,000 fans in the Alamo Dome
23:49during the Royal Rumble
23:51to win the championship.
23:53However, Bret Hart's gotta be
23:5529 people.
23:5729 other people.
23:59And that's not gonna be easy.
24:05Psycho Sid, as we mentioned,
24:07will be on live wire
24:09this Saturday morning, live,
24:1110 o'clock, 9 Central,
24:13taking your telephone calls.
24:15And I'll tell you something, you talk to the champion,
24:17you might wanna ask him
24:19how he felt when he used the camera
24:21on a 62-year-old man.
24:23You might wanna ask him how he felt about winning the title
24:25by using a television camera.
24:27You might wanna ask him
24:29if he considers himself lucky
24:31that Shawn Michaels was provoked
24:33and perhaps Shawn Michaels is the one
24:35that cost Bret Hart the WWF title.
24:39There's a lot of food for thought there.
24:41You can't talk to this man.
24:43And he is the man.
24:456'9", 313 pounds.
24:47And you gotta wonder
24:49what the folks in San Antonio
24:51think of Psycho Sid.
24:53The folks in New York City loved him
24:55in the Survivor Series.
24:57I don't think Sid will get that kind of reception
24:59in San Antonio at the Alamo Dome
25:01on January 19th.
25:07What a magnificent
25:09physical specimen.
25:11He is not technically pure.
25:13He beats people with his power,
25:15with his strength,
25:17and with his intimidation.
25:21Young man,
25:23much like the stars
25:25of the WWF, Sid is young.
25:27Just like this young man,
25:29Shawn Michaels, looking on
25:31as we speak back in the locker room area.
25:33Here he is, Psycho Sid!
25:39In less than 30 days,
25:41Psycho Sid has powerbombed
25:43Shawn Michaels,
25:45has powerbombed
25:47Bret the Hitman Hart,
25:49defeated both individuals,
25:51and did establish your dominance.
25:53It seems to me, however,
25:55that Shawn Michaels has an attitude.
25:57Bret the Hitman Hart
25:59has an attitude.
26:03Stone Cold Steve Austin has an attitude.
26:05The Undertaker, everybody
26:07has an attitude.
26:09When it comes to attitude, however,
26:11I would suggest that they all
26:13are gonna be playing right into
26:15your hands.
26:18I want you to think about something
26:20for a second.
26:22Within 30 days,
26:24I have defeated
26:26the two greatest
26:28technical wrestlers
26:30there ever was.
26:33But the game they played
26:35was technicality.
26:37And then at the end,
26:39there was only power.
26:43For when I walk
26:45the ground shakes!
26:54Listen.
26:58I
27:00I
27:02am Psycho.
27:06Because I am the super predator
27:08of the World Wrestling Federation!
27:11And I am the master!
27:14I am the ruler
27:16of the world!
27:19What would Shawn Michaels be thinking?
27:23I want everyone to realize one thing.
27:26As I stand here right now,
27:30I am 6 foot 9
27:32and over 300 pounds!
27:37And tomorrow,
27:39I will be 6 pounds
27:41and 300 pounds!
27:43No doubt about it.
27:45And the day after!
27:47And the day after!
27:51And the day
27:53after!
27:57This man is, uh,
27:59he's a little nuts, folks. Let's be honest about it.
28:05The World Wrestling Federation
28:07champion,
28:09Psycho Sid!
28:11Defending the title
28:13at the Royal Rumble
28:15against Shawn Michaels.
28:19That will be a tremendous matchup on January the 19th
28:21in the Alamo Dome.
28:23It's still to come.
28:25Brett, the Hitman Hart.
28:27Every Saturday night in New York City
28:29in some wild, outrageous night spot,
28:31there's gonna be a great fight.
28:33And we're gonna start it.
28:35It's WWF Shotgun Saturday Night.
28:37Shotgun Saturday Night.
28:39Raucous, sexy, live.
28:41The most outrageous superstars
28:43in the world's most exciting city
28:45on the wildest night of the week.
28:47WWF Shotgun Saturday Night.
28:49A smokin', sexy, rockin'
28:51good time.
28:53Premieres late night, January 4th.
28:57Hailing from the country of Mexico,
28:59at a total combined weight
29:01of 486 pounds,
29:03Pierrot and
29:05Cibernetico.
29:07Welcome back, everyone, to more
29:09WWF Monday Night Raw.
29:11Two in the past of Mexico.
29:13Yes, from AAA, ladies and gentlemen,
29:15there's Pierrot in the ring at the moment.
29:17He is the champion of champions, is he not?
29:19He certainly is. Pierrot won the
29:21champion of champions tournament,
29:23where all the champions were put into one tournament.
29:25And he won it.
29:27And, of course, Cibernetico is a
29:2921-year-old, a young phenom.
29:31And joining Carlos Cabrera
29:33and Hugo Semenovich
29:35is the legendary Mil Máscaras.
29:37Let's listen in.
30:02And, uh,
30:04you wanna do a quick translation there, J.R.?
30:06Well, uh, quite honestly, I think,
30:08well, look at that, I think, uh,
30:10Mr. Señor Máscaras was talking about
30:12his experience in battle royal environments.
30:14And one thing's for sure,
30:16Máscaras will have a lot of long-time fans
30:18that'll be joining us throughout the state of Texas
30:20at the Royal Rumble on January the 19th.
30:23All right, over the hip,
30:25Pierrot in control at the moment.
30:27Pierrot is, uh, in his
30:29late 30s with over
30:3120 years' experience.
30:33Like many of these great Mexican stars,
30:35they begin wrestling in their
30:37mid-to-late teens professionally.
30:39Cibernetico coming in now.
30:41Cibernetico has just turned 21.
30:43He's already got three years' experience.
30:47Cibernetico and Pierrot
30:49who, uh... Good counter.
30:51Yes, indeed, make quite a tag team in Mexico
30:53and, quite frankly, doing pretty well
30:55for themselves here tonight on Raw.
30:57Taking down Drop Toho, nicely done.
30:59The, uh, mask,
31:01certainly something that we see a lot
31:03from the Mexican athletes. It's part of their heritage.
31:05It's certainly, uh, no other
31:07nationality, no other, uh, genre
31:09in the game puts as much
31:11emphasis and as much importance
31:13on the mask as do the Mexican athletes.
31:15All right, Cibernetico
31:17off the rope.
31:19And, uh, threatening with a roundhouse right there.
31:21Oh, my goodness!
31:23And Leaf Cassidy nailing
31:25Cibernetico.
31:27Match of a somewhat undesirable,
31:29as I would suggest, as far as fan favorites are concerned.
31:31I was starting to say the fans here are certainly, uh,
31:33having to pick their favorite here.
31:35Neither one of these teams are very
31:37popular within their own sphere of fans.
31:39Uppercut there
31:41by Gennady. Marty Gennady and
31:43Cibernetico in a squared circle.
31:45Cibernetico, along with, uh,
31:47Pierrot, are not necessarily known as the high-flying...
31:49Oh, my goodness, high-flying type,
31:51are they, Jerry? I think that's a stereotype
31:53that's not really fair.
31:55Stereotypically, as far as...
31:57Well, as far as all Spanish athletes
31:59are allegedly high-flyers, that's just not the case.
32:01Some good ones are,
32:03but a lot of them aren't. I mean, you think of
32:05Pierrot Aguayo. He's a ground attack.
32:07He's another Mexican legend that we'll see in
32:09San Antonio.
32:11All right, the New Rockers
32:13in control at the moment. Can they
32:15maintain their control? We'll find out,
32:17ladies and gentlemen, as we continue.
32:19Oh!
32:21Back everyone. More WGF Monday Night Raw.
32:23Sunset football by Cibernetico.
32:25Lee Cassidy counted, but can't get the three on him.
32:27Coming up, ladies
32:29and gentlemen, at the conclusion of this matchup,
32:31in action will be no less
32:33than Brett
32:35the Hitman Hart. And, boy,
32:37does he have an attitude. Some would say
32:39for good reason. A lot of commentary... Oh!
32:41...on that. The Hitman
32:43squaring off against the bad guy, Razor Ramon.
32:45Both tags remain. Here we go.
32:47Gennady in there.
32:49Gennady against Pierrot.
32:51Oh, look at this.
32:53That's quite aggressive.
32:55Pierrot just hacking his way here,
32:57sets up Gennady. Can he get him up?
32:59Oh! Both these masked men
33:01from AAA are in the Royal Rumble.
33:03Almost a count of three.
33:05Oh, and it's through the ropes to the outside.
33:07Look out, Han.
33:09Look out!
33:11What do you think can happen? Cibernetico
33:13to Topeo and Lee Cassidy.
33:15Cibernetico... I beg your pardon. Cibernetico
33:17and Pierrot, both, as you said, in the Royal Rumble,
33:19along with Mil Vazquez.
33:21And, again, anyone can
33:23win that 30-man WWF Royal...
33:25Look out! Oh!
33:27Big splash off the top.
33:29Got him.
33:31Pierrot and
33:33Cibernetico victorious over the new
33:35and improved Rockers.
33:37However, standing by, ladies and gentlemen,
33:39JR is getting ready to interview the legendary
33:41Mil Vazquez,
33:43one of the greatest WWF superstars
33:45of all time. JR?
33:47Certainly. It's a pleasure to have you involved
33:49in the Royal Rumble competing
33:51in San Antonio. It is an honor
33:53for World Wrestling Federation to have the legendary
33:55Mil Vazquez here. What are your
33:57thoughts about the competition here in the WWF
33:59and being in San Antonio
34:01at the Royal Rumble?
34:03You know, I have the most experience
34:05all over the world. You know, I'm wrestling
34:07with the best wrestlers in every place.
34:09You know, I have the best shape.
34:11I stay in shape all these years, and I'm
34:13always waiting this night for the best condition
34:15of my opponents to give the best
34:17match in my life. And what about
34:19San Antonio? Does that hold a special place
34:21in your heart? Yes, San Antonio is special
34:23because I've wrestled there for so many
34:25years, you know, and I'm expecting
34:27all the people around, not only San Antonio
34:29but all of World War II to be there.
34:31Thank you very much, Mr. Mascaris, and best
34:33of luck at the Royal Rumble. Thank you, sir,
34:35and I'm expecting you to give me the big
34:37support, and I'm expecting
34:39to win this match. Thank you.
34:41Another award-winning interview by
34:43JR. This year, Starburst
34:45Fruit Twist presents the 1997
34:47World Wrestling Federation Royal Rumble
34:49live, January 19,
34:51in less than four weeks from the
34:53Alamo Dome in San Antonio, Texas.
34:55And guess who's gonna be in that Royal Rumble
34:57match? Hunter Hearst Jones, but he's not just
34:59content being a continental champion. I think he's
35:01planning on coughing it up in the gold dust. And also,
35:03Flash Funk, it's time to get
35:05Funkadelic in the Royal Rumble.
35:07He can win it all. He certainly could,
35:09and don't forget about the British
35:11Bulldog. I wonder what Owen Hart thinks
35:13about the Bulldog entering the Royal Rumble.
35:15And from there, ladies and gentlemen,
35:17just say no more than all
35:19business. Move out of the way
35:21for Rook. Ahmed Johnson could
35:23win it all. And so could this man.
35:25No doubt about it. Here's the yardstick
35:27right there, the Undertaker. He wants it,
35:29he's got it.
35:33Look who's here. We knew he was gonna
35:35be here. Yes, indeed. Folks coming
35:37from all over the world to be a part
35:39of the Royal Rumble
35:41in beautiful San Antonio,
35:43Texas, at the Alamo Dome.
35:45And I guess maybe that's what the big
35:47announcement's gonna be. Honky Tonk Man
35:49stated on Superstars yesterday
35:51is gonna have a big announcement. You think his
35:53announcement's gonna be that he's gonna enter the Royal Rumble? I don't
35:55know. He wouldn't spill the beans yesterday. We tried to
35:57prod it out of him. Honky Tonk
35:59Man, who takes credit for
36:01being the greatest intercontinental champion of all
36:03time. Oh, absolutely. He
36:05clearly feels that he is, without a doubt,
36:07the greatest athlete to ever carry the
36:09intercontinental belt.
36:11The Hitman Bret Hart is ready for
36:13action against Rage Ramone.
36:15Should be an outstanding matchup.
36:17Uh-oh.
36:23That's what I'm saying. It's the Honky Tonk Man.
36:25I know these people want to hear me sing my song.
36:27Thank you very much.
36:29Have a seat.
36:31Ladies and gentlemen, yes,
36:33with the one and the only,
36:35the Honky Tonk Man. Stay with us
36:37for more Monday Night Raw.
36:41Thank you for joining us tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
36:55Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, Monday Night Raw is brought to you by
36:57First Strike, starring
36:59Jackie Chan. Rated PG-13,
37:01but surprise me before Jackie showed up in the
37:03Royal Rumble. And by
37:05the U.S. Army. Look for the Army
37:07hyperlink on the WWF AOL
37:09site in the TV Zone section
37:11to find out where you can be all
37:13you can be, Honky Tonk Man.
37:15I didn't get a chance to shake your hand
37:17just a few minutes ago, Mr. Vince
37:19McMahon, but it's a pleasure for the
37:21Honky Tonk Man to be in the World
37:23Wrestling Federation, and you know I'm the
37:25greatest of all time. The greatest
37:27intercontinental champion of all time,
37:29ladies and gentlemen, the Honky Tonk Man.
37:31And right now, here we go.
37:35You want to talk
37:37great.
37:39You've got to be thinking
37:41about this man with a new attitude
37:43and some would say with a bad
37:45attitude.
37:47Brett, the
37:49Hitman Hart.
37:51And what a tremendous disappointment
37:53for the Hitman
37:55who did not defeat
37:57Cycle Sid in your house.
37:59It's time.
38:01As a matter of fact, such a crushing
38:03title shot that he had.
38:05I don't know if he'll ever be able to
38:07step into the ring as the number one
38:09challenger again. Well, Brett will never
38:11forgive Shawn Michaels for leaving
38:13Shawn's broadcast position and inadvertently
38:15getting involved in the matchup.
38:17Brett Hart will be in Chicago, Illinois
38:19this Thursday night.
38:21What a night it's going to be in the Rosemont Horizon.
38:23And it's going to be a very interesting
38:25night as far as Shawn Michaels
38:27and Brett Hart are concerned
38:29in Chicago on Thursday night.
38:31By the way, WrestleMania tickets
38:33will be on sale as well
38:35at the Rosemont Horizon,
38:37the site of this year's
38:39WrestleMania, and not only will Brett the Hitman
38:41Hart be on hand,
38:43well, of course, wherever you see the
38:45Hitman, you're bound to find
38:47Coral Steve Austin.
38:49Boy, there's no doubt about that.
38:51And both those men will be in the Royal Rumble.
38:53I just cannot believe
38:55that I've sat here this length of time
38:57and listened to you, Jim Ross. I can't get
38:59a word in edgewise. None of you have
39:01asked me why the Honky Tonk Man is here.
39:03And it's very
39:05simple. I need
39:07someone now that can do the
39:09things that the Honky Tonk Man could do.
39:11I need someone who can take
39:13over and be the greatest of all
39:15time, who can play the guitar,
39:17who can sing, who can dance, and of
39:19course, who can shake, rattle, and roll.
39:21There's no doubt. When it comes to shake,
39:23rattle, and roll, you wrote the book as far as the
39:25World Wrestling Federation is concerned. Of course
39:27I did, but when you talk about something
39:29the best there was, the best
39:31there is, and all the best there
39:33is, Brett Hart
39:35cannot do
39:37anything the Honky Tonk Man has already
39:39done. In fact, Brett Hart
39:41is on the Honky Tonk Man's greatest
39:43list. I see. Well, in your
39:45estimation, what kind of a chance does
39:47Brett Hart have of winning the
39:49WWF Royal Rumble? Well, at the Royal Rumble,
39:51I can see Brett Hart winning absolutely
39:53nothing. What I see Brett Hart doing is
39:55going home a loser once again.
39:57In fact, Brett Hart's not even going
39:59to get a chance to be interviewed by the Honky
40:01Tonk Man as the talent
40:03that I'm looking for, the things I have in mind.
40:05And we look forward to that. The search is on
40:07for the Honky Tonk Man. Oh! Drop-toe
40:09nicely executed, and there you see the
40:11piece of execution in control.
40:13So, Honky, you're not looking for a team.
40:15You're looking for one man, one individual. I'm
40:17looking for that one individual that can reach
40:19the level of greatness that the Honky Tonk
40:21Man has reached. You see, I don't
40:23have to prove anything to anybody anymore.
40:25I take someone like Razor Ramon.
40:27Not so bad in the Honky Tonk
40:29Man's book, but a little bit too
40:31greasy for the Honky Tonk Man. Oh, my goodness, please.
40:33Oh, yeah. You know, I was accused of
40:35having the greasy kid stuff, but
40:37Razor takes the cake when it comes to that.
40:39I'm not sure if he fits into my category,
40:41either.
40:43Bret the Hitman Hart,
40:45no, reversal, and Razor
40:47to the buckle. Bret the Hitman
40:49Hart taking it to the bad guy, Razor Ramon.
40:51Little dab will do you there.
40:53Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if Bret
40:55the Hitman Hart is not
40:57disqualified in this matchup.
40:59He is really aggressive these
41:01days, not only as it relates to
41:03Shawn Michaels, but certainly as it relates
41:05to Stone Cold Steve Austin,
41:07who's been just all over Bret the Hitman Hart as of late.
41:09Yes, and Stone Cold Steve
41:11Austin, he is at that level
41:13where the Honky Tonk Man, I think
41:15he's almost reached that
41:17greatness. I see.
41:19And right now, Razor just
41:21stomps, drops the knee to the chest,
41:23and a kick out by Bret Hart.
41:25Obviously, this will be a magnificent upset
41:27for Razor Ramon
41:29if he can beat Bret Hart here. Bret has that great
41:31technical ability. You know, he has the ability
41:33to make you look lost. I mean, he can make Razor
41:35here look like Al Unser.
41:37I mean, it's lost. Don't know where you are.
41:39Bret Hart
41:41against Razor Ramon.
41:43And Shawn
41:45Michaels, no doubt, watching every second
41:47of this matchup is his, no doubt,
41:49Psycho Sid, whom we saw earlier
41:51on to the buckle.
41:53Matter of fact, wouldn't be
41:55surprised if Stone Cold Steve
41:57Austin is at somewhere around
41:59these parts looking on.
42:01Stone Cold may have his eye on the Hitman.
42:03Stone Cold Steve Austin is a little bit
42:05unpredictable, but the only thing that you can predict
42:07is that when you see him, he is going
42:09to cause trouble. Now, you see, Jim
42:11Ross, that's what I like about someone like
42:13Stone Cold Steve Austin. Very unpredictable.
42:15Kind of like the honky-tonk man. You never
42:17know what he's really gonna do.
42:19Kind of like the Royal Roman never can tell who's gonna
42:21win that thing. By the way, I thought Shawn Michaels
42:23had an extraordinary interview on Superstar
42:25just yesterday. And what about my
42:27play-by-play? Would you like that too?
42:29Big Christmas bonus coming my way?
42:31Christmas bonus? Please.
42:33Take a leave of your senses.
42:35Uh-oh! Look at that!
42:37Raze Ramon in control!
42:41Shawn Michaels pretty much setting everyone
42:43straight as it relates to his feelings
42:45for Bret the Hitman Hart.
42:47Michaels making reference
42:49to the fact that, well, he doesn't make
42:51excuses.
42:55Gotta wonder,
42:57what do you think about the title match
42:59at the Royal Rumble? Your thoughts
43:01on that? At this point
43:03in time, I would probably have to pick
43:05Psycho Sid simply because
43:07I don't think Shawn Michaels
43:09he just doesn't have it.
43:11He doesn't have what it takes
43:13to do what's necessary in the World Wrestling
43:15Federation to be as great as someone
43:17like the honky-tonk man. And when you talk
43:19about making excuses for Bret Hart,
43:21it's very simple. Bret Hart just
43:23completely lost it all. He doesn't have it.
43:25He just doesn't have the heart that goes
43:27with that name of his. You think
43:29his better years are behind him?
43:31No, what I think is Bret Hart just can't
43:33do it. He lost, he should just say
43:35I lost.
43:37Well, he lost, alright,
43:39but some would say he lost
43:41as a result of Shawn Michaels, whether it was intentional
43:43or not. Nonetheless,
43:45all that counts is that Psycho Sid
43:47is the reigning World Wrestling Federation
43:49champion, and I don't think
43:51anyone's gonna be to knock him off that
43:53pedestal. Not Shawn Michaels,
43:55not at the Royal Rumble. Michaels
43:57is the underdog. He's gonna have to
43:59pin or make Sid submit.
44:01I don't see that happening.
44:03Oh!
44:05Totally out of control is Bret Hart,
44:07I can tell you that. He always has been,
44:09he always will be. When you say stuff
44:11about Bret Hart, say he's out of control.
44:13Say he's uncontrollable, Vince.
44:15That's exactly what he is.
44:17Bret Hart is uncontrollable. He doesn't care
44:19about the Reals anymore at all. This match
44:21likely didn't really get out of hand.
44:23Bret Hart just doesn't care anymore.
44:25Oh!
44:27Welcome back everyone to
44:29WWF Raw, brought to you by Bret
44:31the Hip Man Hart. By the way,
44:33next week, live from the Knickerbocker Arena
44:35in Albany, New York,
44:37it's gonna be Jerry the King Lawler, who's still back
44:39in the locker room. No doubt still running from
44:41a wild man. Going one-on-one
44:43with Goldust. I think Goldust
44:45is gonna be the one asking the questions next week.
44:47Wait a minute, wait a minute.
44:49No!
44:51Can he get him over? Yes!
44:53The Hip Man with a
44:55sharpshooter on the
44:57bad guy, Reyes Ramon. Trying to
44:59hang on. Trying to shake it
45:01off. Can he have it?
45:03That's it. I thought he
45:05had the rope. I could swear
45:07he had his hand on the rope.
45:11The Hip Man Bret Hart
45:13victorious over
45:15Reyes Ramon and a very
45:17aggressive Hip Man with a brand new attitude.
45:19You gotta be impressed with him.
45:21It's quite obvious he's on a mission,
45:23much like the Honky Tonk Man. He's trying
45:25to regain something, and the Honky Tonk
45:27Man is trying to get something.
45:29I'm looking for that one piece of talent that
45:31only the WWF has to offer.
45:33That person that can reach the greatness
45:35of the Honky Tonk Man. All right, Beth, good luck
45:37to you and your search. And right now, as the
45:39Hip Man celebrates, ladies and gentlemen,
45:41standing by, we have Shawn
45:43Michaels. Mr. Michaels, can you
45:45hear us? Yeah.
45:47Well, your impressions of Bret's
45:49victory? My impressions
45:51of Bret's victory? I mean, you're asking
45:53me like I didn't think it was gonna happen.
45:55What do you want to hear from me?
45:57Well, of course, we're getting closer and closer
45:59to your opportunity to once
46:01again gain the World Wrestling Federation
46:03Championship.
46:05Yeah. In less than a month,
46:07Psycho said, supremely confident.
46:09I've never seen him so confident.
46:11Yeah. And
46:13your point being what your
46:15attitude seems to be a little
46:17different from that of Sid's. A little different,
46:19maybe a lot different from that of Bret Hart's.
46:21Yeah.
46:23All right. So what you're saying
46:25is I'm different from those
46:27guys. You, in fact,
46:29are a genius, McMahon. Thank you.
46:31I mean, you just got that naturally,
46:33did you? I do, yes. After all your
46:35years of experience with me,
46:37you're just now
46:39figuring that out. Is that what you're telling me?
46:41Look, let's put it this way.
46:43Sid is the World Wrestling Federation
46:45Champion. I made no excuses.
46:47Bret can't say the same. He's made excuse
46:49after excuse. The fact of the matter is
46:51when you're in a WWF title match,
46:53anything can happen. Camera can be
46:55used. A guy can come in. That's the way
46:57it is. When you're underneath the boards of the NBA
46:59Championship, the referees let a little more
47:01go by. Same in the NFL.
47:03It all happens and it happens that way in the World Wrestling
47:05Federation. You got to be prepared for anything
47:07and that's the way I'm coming to San Antonio.
47:09Prepared for anything.
47:11Until I get beat, I'm going to get beat like a man.
47:13But believe me, it ain't going to happen.
47:15I'm just going to win, like a man.
47:17Thank you, sir. Merry Christmas,
47:19everybody!
