00:00Welcome everyone to one time always!
00:25Live from the Birmingham NEC
00:29This capacity crowd is pumped!
00:32They're ready for action!
00:50In action we're going to get them! Here we go!
00:54Here comes Hunter Hurst halfway!
00:59The broadcast of the evening is scheduled for one fall with a 30 minute time limit!
01:08On his way to the ring, accompanied by China from Greenwich, Connecticut
01:14Weighing in at 244 pounds, the king of the ring, Hunter Hurst-Helmsley!
01:23Hunter Hurst-Helmsley accompanied by his 200 pound female bodyguard, China
01:32Hunter Hurst-Helmsley to spur off against Owen Hart one away to kick things off live for one night only
01:38Hunter Hurst-Helmsley, despite his prissy appearance, a great competitor!
01:53He can't be the king of the ring without being a great athlete!
01:56Hunter Hurst-Helmsley is a great athlete!
01:58In recent weeks, we've seen him become a much more aggressive athlete as well!
02:02And you know, McMahon, it takes the king to know a king!
02:07And Hunter is the king of the ring!
02:09And he's getting, he's getting another very royal reception from these fans here, these idiot prints!
02:14Dude Love is ready to rock, ladies and gentlemen! He's ready to roll!
02:19Matter of fact, we understand that Dude is standing by!
02:22Let's take you now to, uh, Dude Love and some comments!
02:25Oh, baby, have mercy! I do say, Hunter, my dear Jack, I fear that you and I are in for a bit of a row tonight
02:34And maybe after the match, China and I can do a little bit of grooving!
02:38Oh, I do say it will be jolly good fun!
02:42I know, I know, I'm missing two teeth!
02:45Actually, they're gone, but I don't miss them! Ho, ho, ho, ho! Jolly good fun!
02:51Ha, ha! Little tick off there on Austin Powers!
02:55And here, Clonuts! From Truth or Consequences, New Mexico!
03:00Weighing in at 287 pounds! Dude Love!
03:08Dude Love!
03:10And his dude-ness on his way! And look at the reception his dude-ness is getting from the fans of the UK! Dude Love!
03:25Ready to lock up with Hunter Hearst Helmsley!
03:30And those Dude Love's alter ego, mankind, that Hunter Hearst Helmsley defeated in the 1997 King of the Ring Finals back in June!
03:40Well, I'll tell you guys one thing I'm gonna be doing this evening!
03:44I'll be sharing a little bit of the King's English with you!
03:47King Jerry Lawler, that is!
03:49Look at Dude getting down right here on top of us! Work out!
03:52He'll tell you, you might get some on you!
03:54I'll tell you what the Brits would say! They'd say that this bloke is a burp!
03:58I'll take your burp!
03:59A burp!
04:00They know what I'm talking about!
04:02Look out!
04:03Doing a little trouble as Dude now slides in the ring and prepares for action to kick things off here!
04:09Live!
04:10One night only!
04:17A night of magic here tonight, ladies and gentlemen!
04:20The World Wrestling Federation having the privilege of being here in the United Kingdom!
04:32Alright, here we go!
04:33Dude now being set up from the other side and Dude taking down Hunter Hearst Helmsley!
04:38Dude has a big size advantage here!
04:40And uh oh!
04:41And a slap!
04:42And knocks him right down on the canvas!
04:45Hunter Hearst Helmsley set up for the ride!
04:48Once again, let's see what Dude knows!
04:50Did you see the elbow striking the butt of the jaw?
04:52Did I ever!
04:53And so did Hunter!
04:54He felt it!
04:55Hunter Hearst Helmsley with Dude love!
04:57And the Dude knows he's in complete control here!
05:00Back point!
05:01He dropped nicely down!
05:03Dude taking his back to the 70s!
05:09How about that shirt JR?
05:11Little uh...
05:13Little Jerry Garcia, God Bless His Soul.
05:14Little Grateful Dead attire!
05:17Back to the 70s reminds me of JR's tuxedo there!
05:20Nice looking tuxedo!
05:22Matter of fact, we might even get a look at it here in the minutes!
05:23Look at this!
05:25Look at this.
05:25And, uh, dude.
05:26I told you it was a burp.
05:28Stop it.
05:30Dude Love, who has to keep his eyes, obviously, on Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
05:33And, uh, notwithstanding that.
05:35Or maybe Hunter's fingers.
05:37Surely, we, uh, also have to be aware, as I'm sure Dude Love is, of the presence of Chyna.
05:43Succession of right hands.
05:44That one's blocked.
05:45And look at this.
05:46Dude now upstairs, downstairs.
05:48And, dude, right on target thus far.
05:51Chyna, the female bodyguard, bench press is 320 pounds.
05:54I don't know how many stones that is.
05:57But 325 pounds is very, very impressive for a male, a top male athlete.
06:02Notwithstanding, a female.
06:05She has tremendous powers.
06:07And, obviously, Mr. Helmsley, look out.
06:09Look out.
06:09Whoa!
06:13Not much of a, uh, sense of humor, however.
06:17She smiles about as much as one of those Royal Guardsmen.
06:20And, uh, to the outside, trying to catch a breather here.
06:25Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
06:26Helmsley's a real thinking man's wrestler.
06:29But, uh, that'll make your decision pretty easy for you.
06:32The forearms in the face.
06:35And, uh, Dude.
06:36Mimicking Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
06:41Some of an obsequious bow there.
06:44And, dude, very quickly, gets his capacity crowd in the match.
06:47Not that they weren't before.
06:49Obviously, dude's a fan favorite.
06:52And you wonder later on, who will be the fan favorites?
06:56Here, as you have joined us for this historic pay-per-view event between The Undertaker and
07:01Bret the Hitman Hart.
07:02But that matter between Shawn Michaels and, ooh, Manchester's, uh, British Bulldog.
07:07And now, working on the left arm and shoulder is Dude Love.
07:09And not much of a chance there to pin, Mr. Helmsley.
07:12Not on that particular occasion.
07:14As China looks on, you know, Dude Love is certainly one of the most unorthodox competitors
07:18in the WWF.
07:19He was born Nick Foley.
07:20He started wrestling as Cactus Jack.
07:22Came to the WWF as Mankind.
07:25And now his alter ego, Dude Love, is what this man perceives to be.
07:30He's a real chip magnet.
07:32He's a schizophrenic, if you ask me.
07:34Well, all right.
07:35Perhaps he is.
07:36Nonetheless, he is very, very successful.
07:38Dude, driving the knee into the shoulder area.
07:41Be perfectly honest with you.
07:42He's a real pillock.
07:45That's a more King's English.
07:47I know you guys don't have a clue, do you?
07:49A pillock.
07:50Okay, King.
07:52In any event.
07:52Actually, you guys are both pillocks also.
07:54All right.
07:54Come on now.
07:57Dude Love in control.
07:58And Hunter Hearst Helmsley sort of started out a little befuddled, I think, JR.
08:02He's off his game here tonight thus far.
08:04I think Dude Love, as we mentioned earlier, can certainly keep you off balance.
08:07But never underestimate the ability to Helmsley to re-go.
08:11Helmsley has the ability to take one slight mistake by Dude Love and capitalize on it.
08:16Helmsley, a very cerebral athlete.
08:18Very intelligent.
08:19Maybe the highest IQ in the WWF, of course, excluding the King.
08:24There you go.
08:25Right.
08:25You're getting with it.
08:26And now, Helmsley trying to hammer his way out of this and does.
08:30Helmsley in control.
08:31Another hard right hand.
08:33Hunter Hearst Helmsley setting up Dude Love.
08:36Dude now coming off the ropes and a drop to hold a tip.
08:38It's failed.
08:39There's one that succeeded, however.
08:40Surprisingly, Dude Love is out-wrestling Helmsley here in the early going of this contest.
08:48And again, as we documented, Dude's alter ego, Mankind, has had his share of battles.
08:54We've seen a couple of big battles this past summer with Mankind and Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
09:00No sense of humor.
09:03Stoic luck on the face of China.
09:05And watching as Hunter Hearst Helmsley, as JR said, as being out-wrestled.
09:10Out-maneuvered.
09:11Oh!
09:11That's going to be quite painful.
09:12Out-wrestling Helmsley, perhaps submission.
09:15Working on the ankle area.
09:16And Dude, all wrapped up with Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
09:19He may try it again.
09:21It's a modified version of an India death lock.
09:24One of the oldest, fundamental oldest maneuvers in the game.
09:29Again, we're live, ladies and gentlemen.
09:31We're very pleased you have joined us for this first ever World Wrestling Federation pay-per-view
09:35extravaganza on Skybox Office.
09:38This event's been sold out for weeks and weeks.
09:41they knew i was coming is that right this is something special no doubt here tonight
09:47and it'll be even more special as the night progresses hunter heard sound sleep
09:51whip to the buckle whoa is he upside down right on his noggin i'll tell you what's
09:57thrown hunter off is those stupid comments that dude love made from the austin awful
10:01austin powers movie all right running georgia austin powers so much that's horrible
10:06what i've seen better film on teeth there was a reference to teeth in that film as i recall look
10:14out here we go you're just gonna make hunter mad there you idiot oh really and then what happened
10:21well i'll tell you then what happens if you want to talk about british movies then hunter's gonna
10:25get up and go the full monty he'll give it his all oh okay all right sure gonna use all your material
10:31here we go here comes the sweet shin music as he calls it and jumping right out of the way to the
10:38outside dude love comes right out after him a right hand wild right hand missed and dude
10:44is hot on the heels of hunter he's liking it he's liking it
10:48who really leveled the dude stir and the referee didn't see it but he is he knows full well what
11:06happened and he is cautioning china dude left forgot he's in britain you got to drive on the other side of
11:11the street here he was in the wrong lane dude love leveled with a clothesline by the 200 pound female
11:19bodyguard china and that is like running into a brick wall dude in a bit of trouble nonetheless here we go
11:27right back up dude now and oh off the top rope when you got a face like dude loves running into a brick
11:36wall can only improve your looks here's a look at the double feature we're live on the right hand side
11:40and you see the replay there on the left and china again leveling dude love who was still at this
11:46moment feeling the effects of that maneuver and helmsley very smart to capitalize and keep the heat on
11:53on dude here and he is pouring it on look at china can you imagine her as a page three there
12:01less than that's capacity crowd and again behind the official's back china attacking dude love i missed it
12:08uh yeah right and the cover and almost a count of three
12:15don't get frustrated you're all right helmsley the aristocratic american from uh the state of
12:21connecticut one of the most affluent states in the united states and a block right here and now dude
12:27trying to retaliate going to the midsection right back upstairs now dude love what hunter hurst helmsley
12:32sends him for the road back body drop oh no oh oh man and dude trying to well here we go with another
12:40cover and this is almost almost enough dude love really tough as shoe leather able to kick out before
12:47the three count but helmsley with a clear and decisive advantage here maybe moments away from
12:52putting dude away and dude abdominal stretch is applied now by hunter hurst helmsley dude in yet more
12:58trouble and it all started with that clothesline of china again a look at the face of dude love he is
13:04missing a few feet
13:08helmsley using the ropes for an unfair advantage here the referee asking dude if dude wants to submit
13:14him in the abdominal stretch and helmsley was using the ropes for some extra leverage yeah he's been
13:20as a nine bob note but so what
13:23and again i like that helmsley reaching for the rope behind the official in it is going to see it now
13:29he is what he might disqualify him no way no way you can't go whoa you can't whoa whoa
13:36he's going to be disqualified now when he says that he can defeat dude love and this official is
13:49observing his authority here tonight and that's what you're going to see i believe live here in europe
13:54i think the officials are going to have a great deal more authority helmsley does not want to go home
13:59with a loser oh share the curse and dude now quite the aggressor dude loves setting up hunter hurst
14:08helmsley whips it to the buckle and then
14:12no fair into a cover and a count and oh
14:20that right shoulder barely barely getting up all right let's see what dude can do with hunter
14:25hurst helmsley as dude now has taken control oh there you go reversal and here we go and it is
14:33and hunter hurst helmsley has reversed the tie swinging next record by helmsley now regaining the
14:39advantage again helmsley is so technically sound trained by wwf hall of favor killer koloski
14:46and we hear the response from this capacity crowd to the histrionics of one hunter hurst helmsley
14:52and uh-oh here we go to pedigree and if he hits it no way
15:01helmsley down on the canvas and dude can't covering dude trying to recover as well
15:07and dude could only cover hunter hurst helmsley both men are down it is anybody's ball game here
15:13and i look of concern on the face of china dude starting to move
15:21do something tana dude now trying to get to his feet and it looks like hunter hurst helmsley does
15:26indeed beat him however dude was playing possum dude underneath the roundhouse dude with a quick left
15:31hand and dude now ducking in a right hand to the jaw dude with another one dude love now when hunter hurst
15:38timsley sends him into the buckle repeatedly
15:44comes a nose first to the turnbuckle
15:46you're wondering whether or not uh-oh in their history on it from dude love
15:53now and once again for good measure and hunter hurst timsley reeling to the other side of the range
15:59dude love with a head of steam now what's he doing i don't know look out hunter
16:07here he comes here comes dude love a clothesline dude now with hunter hurst timsley and whips him to
16:14the buckle and dude running right into the foot comes to the outside high risk maneuver perhaps yes
16:21coming up here hunter hunter going all the way up to the top look out hunter and dude is going to
16:25greet him halfway oh what an arm drag that one dude arm drug helmsley right off the top rope
16:33and now dude back in control sweet music dude stealing this one of course from sean michaels who has
16:41the sweet chin music and the sweet chin music here we go do it right now the ball of ddt's should be
16:49over and dude love with the cover to it put on the ropes did you see that china simply put hunter's
17:00foot on the bottom rope and then drew attention i think hunter put his own foot there mcmahon no
17:05clearly not china has been a difference maker thus far oh look out boots to the midsection
17:13here comes the pedigree yes the pedigree applied two and it gets it
17:21so it is a victory for hunter and here is your winner
17:27hunter hirsch hirmsley
17:42well china should get a bonus for this go ground china and hunter hirsch hirmsley victorious and
17:49indeed it was somewhat of a handicap match as it turned out china the master of doing a number of
17:55things behind the officials back and dude love no doubt we'll be back to fight again
18:00yeah go join awesome powers cover losers whether he misses his teeth or not
