What is going on here? I don't think it's like I've seen Sean Michael. He's just taking a leisurely stroll, chewing a little gum. Yeah, please. Hey, I like that. Tatanka, do you really think you've got a chance at beating me at WrestleMania? I don't think so. As a matter of fact, I can guarantee you. No, no. Better yet, I can promise you that there is no way you are going to beat me for the Intercontinental title at WrestleMania. What an arrogant individual. And look at the look on the kisser of Tatanka. And look at that conceit, if you would. Oh yeah, yeah. Sean Michael is already Intercontinental champion. One week away in Las Vegas, Nevada, my guests this week have every intention of being the new World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions. Please welcome the Mega Maniacs with Jimmy Hyde, Brutus the Barber, Beast Pay, and Hulk Hogan. All right, gentlemen, there is going to be a showdown in the desert. We're a week away from Las Vegas and Caesar's Palace, and of course the Coliseum of Ancient Rome, Brutus the Barber, Beast Pay, you Hulk Hogan are going to be shooting at Funny Incorporated and the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Championship. Well, you know something, Meiji. Now more than ever, we're just one week away. I'm aware of how destiny is going to take its course, brother. Because just a few short weeks ago, bro, when I was laying in the weeds at Venice Beach, California, and I had Monday night raw tuned in for the greatest comeback of all time, I saw what could have been the worst nightmare in my life take place. I saw Money Incorporated run across the ring with a metal apéché case with the speed of a lightning bolt, and after it crashed into Brutus the Barber, Beast Pay, blood brother's face, I saw what I didn't want to see. I heard what I didn't want to hear, and as I turned my face and I turned back, the emotions ran from head to toe. I chilled, I goosebumped, and I broke a sweat as I stood up, man, and I rushed from head to toe. And when I turned on the automatic pilot in my mind because I couldn't believe what was happening, I ran to the garage, and when I was out of my mind, I accidentally jumped on Brutus' wide glide. And as I kickstarted the brothers' fight, bro, and as I ran down towards Venice Beach, I clicked it in the fifth gear, and as I took a hairpin turn, and as I spun off the seat, and as I spin across the white sand, headed towards the Pacific Ocean, I buried my ear in the sands of Venice Beach. And then I heard it, brother. I heard what I didn't want to hear. I heard millions upon millions of hulka maniacs praying for Brutus the Barber. I heard the maniacs praying that the steel-tempered titanium plates were still in place. And then on automatic pilot, I kickstarted the brothers' wide glide one more time. And for seven nights and seven days, I rode towards the bright lights of New York City. And as I got there, I was sniffing for the hair tonic. I was sniffing for the bushwax. And lo and behold, as I kicked down the Ramada Inn store on 48th and 8th Avenue, just a little bit north of the mid-city gym, I found the brother, Brutus the Barber, beefcake with his feet popped up on an ottoman, laid back in a Lazy Boy chair, watching Mollerian Curly with an ice pack on his nose. Thank God for the big man upstairs that Brutus the Barber is okay, and all he had was a broken nose. Thank God, Brutus. You know, it goes like this. I spent two days running up and down the aisles of Kmart, picking up that tonic, getting all that hair color together, and getting ready to do a number on Money Incorporated. And then it came to me, ain't this stuff even worth it, brother? They're not worth the effort. So I took to the desert outside Las Vegas, chomping down some big nasty-looking cactuses, trying to dull up the titanium steel blades, chopped down a couple of small mountains, and then it came to me, brother. I knew that I'd just throw the scissors away because I'm just gonna yank the hair right out of their heads! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! You know something, Brutus, I hope you put a photo ring on both of those dudes, but you know something, since everything's gonna come so good in Las Vegas, man, I've got a surprise for both of you guys. Just last week, when you saw me hanging off Santa Monica Pier doing some fishing with my bare hands, brother, those two 10-foot hammerhead sharks that I struck up out of the Pacific Ocean, they were for snack time, dudes. Those fish were for a reason. I've already taken the chlorine out of the pool at Caesar's Palace, and I filled it full of salt water, brother. I got a bunch of sea urchins in there and a few nasty mermaids, brother. And as I throw those hammerheads into the pool, Brutus, you need to help me pry their jaws open, brother, because if I put the world title belt across their dentures, those sharks are gonna have locked jaws, brother. That way, when we throw all the bathing beauties, all the hulkamaniacs in the pool, those sharks won't be able to touch a hair on their chinny-chin-chin. And it's me, Brutus the Barber, and Jimmy Hart, hang ten all through the straddle of the night, brother, celebrating our victory at Caesar's Palace. The only thing left for the detailed man to do will be this. That's take the two cases of sun tan oil I've got, and as the sun rises in the east, get all those female hulkamaniacs, all those beautiful hulkamaniacs, and make sure, Brutus, that they've got an even tan from head to toe. So, Las Vegas, Nevada, and the whole wide world, what you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? What you gonna do when the hulkamaniacs run wild on you? Alright, this indeed is hulkamania. I recall in history, General Douglas MacArthur said, I shall return. And this Sunday, in Las Vegas at WrestleMania, Hulk Hogan, you are returning to the World Wrestling Federation. Well, you know something, Mean Gene. Everybody knows that the eagle is flying slow, brother, and the flag is hanging low, dude. But when you train, say your prayers, eat your vitamins, believe in yourself, and believe in Hulk Hogan, that means you believe in the youth of America. That means you believe in hulkamania. And I can't think of a better time than Sunday for the Mega Maniacs, Hulk Hogan, and all my hulkamaniacs in America to do a 360 and turn this thing around, starting out with wiping out Money Incorporated. But you know something, Mean Gene, I want President Bill Clinton to sleep easy after Sunday, brother, because the first thing that the Mega Maniacs are gonna do after we bankrupt Money Incorporated, we're gonna seize all their assets, brother. We're gonna throw them in a semi-trailer, and it's me and Brutus and the Bionic brother beat cake, kickstart our wide-glide Harley-Davidson's brother. We're gonna hook up to that semi-trailer, and as we drag the trailer from the east coast of New York City back to Vegas, to LA, and back to Florida, brother, Jimmy Hart will sit on top of that trailer and throw all the money out from Money Incorporated just to ease the deficit for President Clinton. That's something the Hulkamaniacs can take to the bank. Tell them, Jimmy. Jimmy Hart. You know, Hulkster, I'm gonna start lining up already all the major tag teams in the World Wrestling Federation, and there's no doubt in my mind, baby, that you and Brutus are gonna mop up the floor at WrestleMania with Money Incorporated. And then, baby, it's gonna be the Megamaniacs' world tour to all the major coliseums and arenas all over the world. And, Brutus, I know you will hold up your little bargain. Don't you worry about a thing, Jimmy Hart. I know what my job is. I'm the detail man. I'm taking care of everything. I got those blinkers and those headlights off the front of those wide-glide Harley-Davidson's so that those title belts will sit perfectly across the handlebars. And when I climb to the top of Caesar's Palace, brother, and angle all 2,000 of those lights down at the front of those title belts, Hulk Hogan, just make sure that you've got those belts angled at precisely the right angle so all the light will reflect directly to Venice Beach, California and then straight back to New York City so all the Hulkamaniacs will know that we're on the money. Oh, by the way, you know the old saying, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, brother, I think that we should feed those carcasses of money incorporated to the lions. Well, you know something, Brutus. In this case, brother, the lions are the hungry Hulkamaniacs, brother, and they can't wait. They can't wait for the red and yellow to take over Money Incorporated. They can't wait for the red and yellow to run wild in the WWF. And you know something, Brutus, that's exactly what they'll do, because in this case, the lions are the Hulkamaniacs, and that'll be just a little bitty snack for them. But Hulkamaniacs, in closing, there's one last little bit of factual information I'd like to lay upon you, dudes. Don't worry about Brutus Bionic Beefcake's ugly, twisted-up mug, simply because myself and Jimmy Hart have put Brutus's face to the Hulkamaniacs' stress test pranas. And the first thing we did was we broke down the Brooklyn Bridge. Then I took a bull open, and I crushed his coconut. And then after that, I finished knocking down what was left of the Twin Towers. And the only thing I couldn't bust up was Brutus's mug, because we tested it like this. Oh, no! No, no, no! And we tested it every way known to Hulkamania mankind. So whatcha gonna do, Money Incorporated, when the Mega Maniacs run wild on you? The Omega Maniacs are ready. I hope Money Incorporated's ready. They better be. If they're not, we'll be seeing new WWF Tag Team Champions crowned at season power. The return of the immortal Hulk Hogan. Take a look, Crane. He's ready. He's ready all right. IRS, 10 dB RC, you have my deepest sympathy. Bam Bam Bigelow coming up. He ruled the ring for over a decade. He filled more arenas than L.E. Borman and Sugar Ray combined. And he's been crowned WWF Champion four times. This April 4th, live on pay-per-view, the immortal Hulk Hogan returns. WrestleMania, live Sunday, April 4th, on pay-per-view. I said, are you ready for the Survivor Series? Who will survive? Let's go. Take a look what you've got now. Hogan, when you get in the ring, I'll show you how to get beat up. The way Tataka sees it, to climb to the top. In the World Wrestling Federation, Tataka will be successful. Hey, ever since I was a little bitty boy, I wanted to do one thing and one thing only, and that's to be a law enforcement officer. Treat other people like you who want to be treated. Try to walk them straight and narrow, because that's the only way you're going to survive in this life. Who will survive? WrestleMania. Yeah, this is our life. Pump it up, pump it up. Oh, oh, oh, oh. WrestleMania. I need to survive. Just like that, just like that. Listen up, we're coming after you, and you're going to get nasty stuff right down your throat all through 93. Let me tell you something, boys. I am the World Wrestling Federation Champion. The case of execution is on top. There's a new gun in town. I made a vow to become a law enforcement officer. See, this man comes right here. They're an instrument of justice. The big boss man is law-aborder justice of the World Wrestling Federation. Who will survive? Oh, oh, oh, oh. WrestleMania. Yeah, this is our life. Pump it up, pump it up. Oh, oh, oh, oh. WrestleMania. I need to survive. Just like that, just like that. Here it comes, comes, comes. Coming at you. So pick it up. Yo, you better catch it. The bad boys are back. Hold the block. Tilt both the top. We won't be stopped. We're going in force. We got the green groove. Pump it up, pump it up. And raise the roof. And swing, swing, swing. Like the mighty Thor. You need to pull out the fantastic force. So pick it up. Pump it up. The bad boys are back. So they're blowing up the place. Yo, you better catch them. The songs got parce. They could of come in at you. When no one ain't right on em. Just jump. Do you love you yeah. So don't think too much. It's like misery stopping. WrestleMania. Oh, oh, oh, oh. WrestleMania. Yeah, this is our life. Pump it up. WrestleMania, yeah, this is our life. Pump it up, pump it up. Oh, oh, oh, WrestleMania, fighting to survive. It's like that, it's like that. Oh, oh, oh, WrestleMania, yeah, this is our life. Pump it up, pump it up. Oh, oh, oh, WrestleMania, fighting to survive. It's like that, it's like that. This contest is scheduled for one fall. Coming down the aisle. We are ready for action. So is turbulence. Speaking of action. We certainly hope you enjoyed us last night. Because boy, did we have fun out in Las Vegas. Boy, did we have fun at WrestleMania. What a spectacle. The glitz and the glamour was only overshadowed by one thing. A new World Wrestling Federation champion. Bam, bam. Taste of the old at the same time. The yellow and the red Hulk Hogan is once again on top of the mountain. Barring an investigation, of course. Bam, bam. Well, well, well. Bam, bam, Bigelow making his way to the square truckle. And you just heard the Macho Man write. If you're saying what did he say? What he said was that the Hulkster once again World Wrestling Federation champion. What a turn of events at WrestleMania. What with the Hitman Brad Hart defeated by Yokozuna. Notwithstanding a chicanery there. And right behind that, Fuji and Yokozuna. Issuing a challenge immediately to the Hulkster. And well, to be it. Yeah, the rest is history in a matter of seconds. Hulk Hogan became World Wrestling Federation champion again. However, you also alluded to a potential investigation which is undergoing. Yes, you're right. And we will hear from Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna who have protested to WWF President Jack Tony that this not be an officially sanctioned match. And there is some conjecture about that. Like I say, too bad. Right here, Monday Night Raw. The day after WrestleMania IX. And I felt good about the evening. Yes, I did. Virgil taking it to Big Bam Bam Bigelow here. A very competitive match up here on Monday Night Raw. Virgil working on the arm. You're gonna have to get that big man down, Macho Man. Absolutely, that's right. But Yokozuna went down. You know, I was eating grapes from the Bristol Virgins, and I think that Fuji and Yokozuna, they're eating sour grapes. And right there, a big mistake on the part of Virgil. He didn't slide too far, not far enough or whatever. And, whoa, missing is Big Bam Bam. Missed, missed. Hey, take a look at this. One, two, and almost a count of three. That's what can happen. Anything can happen in the World Wrestling Federation. Take a look at this. Virgil hanging on, Bam Bam. Uh-oh, has his balance now. Oh! Devastating maneuver on the part of Bam Bam Bigelow. I think he hit it right in the head. Big Man expect the unexpected, not only on Raw but all over the World Wrestling Federation, and it's really wide open now, and you gotta be an opportunist, and Hulk Hogan was an opportunist, and he seized the opportunity, and he got the job done on Yokozuna. Yes, he did. There was so much going on yesterday at WrestleMania, unquestionably. That WrestleMania, I believe, will go down in the annals of history as the greatest WrestleMania of all time. No doubt about it, Vince McMahon, and I'd just like to say something right now about the pink and black, the hit man, Brad Hart. Not only was he a great World Wrestling Federation champion, but he's a 1 million percent friend, and he's a 1 million percent competitor, and he's got the respect of zillions of World Wrestling Federation fans. All over the globe, that away hit man. Speaking of the hit man, for those of you who tuned in yesterday and saw WrestleMania, you were informed that prior to the hit man's title defense, earlier that day at the WrestleMania, Brunch Lex Luger out of nowhere charged Brad Hart, knocked him unconscious with that controversial forearm, and then later on at WrestleMania, Lex Luger knocked out Mr. Perfect with that same controversial forearm. Coincidence is happening too many times for it to be a coincidence, and President Jack Tunney, I suggest you spend more time investigating this than the WWF Championship belt, which is all sour grapes from Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji. Jack Tunney, very, very busy man as of late, and Virgil is likewise trying to power out of this, and you're not gonna likely do that against Big Bam Bam Bigelow. Bam Bam Bigelow making a name for himself in the World Wrestling Federation? That's for sure. There are a lot of big names in the WWF. And speaking of big names, here on Monday Night Raw, our broadcast colleague, Rob Bartlett is- Who's that? Rob Bartlett, you remember him? I remember him, yeah. Unfortunately, Mr. Bartlett- Whatever happened to him? Well, he made it out to WrestleMania, but unfortunately, he is still in Las Vegas. Apparently, he did not share the same great fortune, and good luck as the Hulkster did. Bartlett apparently staying at a different hotel. I guess he lost everything, and if in fact he makes it back next week, which we're certainly hopeful that he will, apparently he's gonna have to arrive via the Hound, if you know what I mean. When you say he lost everything, do you mean he lost all his dollar and 22 cents? Whatever he had, apparently he was cleaned out. So, Rob, if you're still in Las Vegas, and we're told that's where you are now, we hope you're listening on me. We wish you the best of luck, which is not what you had too much of when you were out in Las Vegas, and we hope you're gonna join us next week. Yeah, Bartlett, you're gonna have to pay your own bills back there. I'm not gonna pull you out of this mess, no way. All right, now it's Virgil who is in quite a mess, but Bam Bam Bigelow, very, very competitive matchup. This capacity crowd definitely behind Virgil, and the momentum can mean so much to a competitor. Virgil grimacing as the big man Bam Bam pours on the pressure in the lower back area. I tell you, it's electric in here right now at the Manhattan Center, Monday Night Raw, but it pales in comparison to WrestleMania IX, the Roman Coliseum, if you will. Yeah, if you will. I think everything pales in comparison to that macho toga that we saw you in yesterday. Thank you very much. A lot of people said I look pretty. Yeah. What about the matchup involving Clash and Doink? All of a sudden, we all thought we were seeing double. Double vision in the Roman Coliseum, and in- Double Doink. Double Doink. Oh, look at that. Virgil with a bolt to the kiboscus. Virgil now. Who's the kiboscus? Virgil with high-risk maneuvers. That's exactly what he's gonna have to do now, going all the way up to the top. A wobbly Bam Bam. What a crosskick. Go for it. A pin. Hooks the leg through and gets him into- No. Whoa. But I'll tell you what, Virgil hooked the leg right there. Very, very- And now, Virgil going back. Quick left jab. Look at this. Connecting into- Oh, my goodness. And Bam Bam does not go down. Bam Bam for the ride. Now, no. Reversal. Virgil to the buckle. Bam Bam running face first. Look at Virgil leaping back. And Bam Bam sidestepping, driving Virgil down to the canvas. Bam Bam's only one of the big guys in the WWF, the full-tab. Oh, size and speed and experience. And agility. Yeah, agility. Now, it's Bam Bam who's going up to the top. If Bam Bam connects, this one could be history. Oh, and he does. That's awesome. One, two, and yes, he gets him a three. Bam Bam Bigelow, what the WWF is all about. Here is your winner, Bam Bam Bigelow. What a matchup with Virgil and Bam Bam Bigelow. This is Raw. This is Monday Night Raw. And she's the reason Bartlett didn't make it back from Las Vegas. Yeah. Really? This contest is scheduled for one fall. Well, coming down the aisle from Middle East Tennessee. Here he comes, making his debut on Monday Night Raw. I brought to you us coming on WWF Superstars. Here is the king. A legend in his own right. King Balor. Now, Mr. Lawler truly believes that flowing through his veins, the blood of royal extraction. Although apparently these ladies would just- Let's listen in. First of all, let me say something to each and every one of you imbecilic idiots. I am the king of wrestling, and I am used to being treated with respect. When I walk down that aisle, you idiots should bow down and kiss my feet. They're saying Burger King, I believe. If I hear one more of you idiots call and say Burger King, I'm walking out of here. You hear what I said, if they say Burger King one more time, I'm out of here. I mean it, I'm not gonna wrestle if you keep that up. Look at this. This is New York. Don't tell me- Are you kidding me? Let's take you now to Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna. Mr. Fuji filing a formal protest with World Wrestling Federation president, Jack Tunney, on behalf of Yokozuna, claiming he should still be the World Wrestling Federation champion, not withstanding his defeat of Bret the Hitman Heart. You claim there was never an official contract between Hulk Hogan and Yokozuna. You state the match wasn't even sanctioned. Jack Tunney, you've got a tough decision to make. I'm sure that Jack Tunney will take into consideration the comments of Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna. And hopefully, we'll get a word from Mr. Tunney's office later on this weekend as to the disposition of this matter. Well, I think that you should be happy. The Shortest Rain WWF Champion of All Time, Yokozuna had a cup of coffee in the big time of the WWF. Yes, he did that all right. Yokozuna protesting, and who knows, Mr. Tunney could very well see it Yokozuna's way. You never can tell. We anxiously await word from Jack Tunney. Is Hulk Hogan the World Wrestling Federation Champion, or will he say the match was not officially sanctioned and therefore, Yokozuna is still the WWF title holder? Well, I say bottom line, Yokozuna shouldn't have challenged Hulk Hogan right there. Well, maybe not, but you don't know whether or not Mr. Tunney will rule that it was a sanctioned match. We hopefully will get Mr. Tunney's decision this coming weekend. Bob Backlund against Kim Chi. Vince McMahon, let me ask you a question right now. The King Jerry Lawler was supposed to be a rascal. Where is he? Who knows, he could be out on the Hotline, the WrestleMania Hotline, getting all the official results and comments and all sorts of things. By the way, at the conclusion of this matchup, we will be giving you the WrestleMania Hotline number where you can find out firsthand all of the happenings that took place yesterday at WrestleMania. And look at this maneuver. WrestleMania IX Hotline's got to be burning up those airwaves with all the controversy and all the sour grapes going down. Kim Chi back in the ring now with Bob Backlund, a former World Wrestling Federation Champion. We are hoping that the King Jerry Lawler will return to the Squared Circle and wrestle before this capacity crowd. And this would be the debut of the King on Monday Night Raw. What an elbow by Kim Chi. I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for the King Jerry Lawler to wrestle on Monday Night Raw. I don't think that he wants to face this Big Apple crowd anymore tonight. Kim Chi with a hook and count of two is all he can get. And later on, we're definitely looking forward to the Tag Team matchup that no doubt will be a barn burner right here on Monday Night Raw. The Beverly Brothers, Bo and Blake squaring up against the Steiner Brothers. And I'm excited about this one. This one's going to be hot. This one's going to be, well, let me just say bottom line, it's going to be raw. Uncooked. Uncut. And un-un-un-something else, yeah. Un-Bartlett, yeah, I like that. That may be okay, okay. Bartlett. Bartlett. Somewhere, Motel 6, I believe they have color television. Probably the Motel 2 and a hand. By now. Right. I bet they kicked him out. Do you think he can afford to pay his room to get out of town? Well, I'll tell you what, they can't take it in trade, that's for sure, because he's not worth anything. Bob Backlund shoulders on the canvas, not for long. Kim Chi and Bob Backlund going at it here on Monday Night Raw. Down to the canvas. Who is Kim Chi? What's he look like, Randy? I have no idea, but I heard somebody saw him without his mask, and they said that he is too raw for Raw. Too raw for Monday Night Raw. Better with the mask on than with it off. Speaking of someone with mask, I wonder if that Luna Vashon, did you see Luna Vashon make her WWF debut in the corner of Shawn Michaels yesterday at WrestleMania? And what a number she did on Sensational Sherry. And from there, we're told that when Sherry was in the first aid room, Vashon came running in there and tore apart all over again. Unbelievable, because Sensational Sherry is a tough girl. Yes, she is. And to think that Luna Vashon is tougher, I don't think so. Well, hopefully next week here on Monday Night Raw, we will have both Luna Vashon, who many would say might be in use of a mask, maybe Kim Chi's, Luna Vashon and Sensational Sherry scheduled to be here next week on Monday Night Raw. Well, I believe Luna Vashon is a Vesco Virgin, by the way. Yes, you made that very clear. And, uh-oh, trouble here. What's he gonna do here? Upridge! I like it. Count of three. The joy of wrestling. Page 89. Here is your winner, Bob Bartlett. Bob Back and Victorious, when we return, we are told that on the phone will be Rob Bartlett. Ah, here he comes out. Once again. Entering the arena from Memphis, Tennessee, bringing to you... Come on down here. The King Jerry Baller. Mr. Baller. Uh-oh, I think I hear that chant again. I tell you, it's not gonna get any better. These are all Prince of Man right here. I know these people. You can hear them with the Burger King chant, chant again. Nonetheless, it looks like Mr. Baller is going to grace us, if you would, with this presence and actually wrestle. Thumbs down for Mr. Baller? Well, not yet. Let's see what he can do in the square circle. Let's not forget that he's a hot dog, too. Put a little mustard on him. Aha! It's a good thing he wasn't at WrestleMania yesterday. He would have been booed out of the Roman Coliseum. The King is leaving. It's been heralded as the greatest WrestleMania of all time. The World Wrestling Federation's premier extravaganza was a show of majesty, pageantry, and riveting nonstop action. Witness the drama, the intrigue, and the unimaginable. Has the World Wrestling Federation title changed hands not once, but twice? If you missed WrestleMania before, don't miss it again. If you saw it once, it's worth seeing again. WrestleMania IX. Relive the legend. Next Monday night, only on pay-per-view. Well, I guess we're gonna try it again. We're back with more Monday Night Raw. New schedule, once again. Here he comes. Memphis, Tennessee, weighing 235 pounds, the King, Jerry Balder. Well, he certainly knows he's not gonna get any respect just by asking for it. He's going to have to do it the old-fashioned way, as they say. Earn it. Hold the one odds. He doesn't make it inside the ring. I know I just came from Las Vegas, but what the heck? This man considers himself the toughest competitor in the whole wide world and the only individual worthy of being called King. I got another name for him. Might be a little too long. And this isn't the show-me-state Missouri, but oh, my goodness, look at that. Jimmy Powers hammering away on the King, Jerry Lawler, who have no alternative now but to defend this. Oh, my goodness. That punch and that turnbuckle came out of nowhere. The King, Jerry Lawler's in the ring now and he likes it a lot. Jimmy Powers from the top rope now and down again into the head, the forehead of Jerry, the King Lawler. You're gonna do a lot to prove you're King of the Ring around the WWF. I'll guarantee you that. A whip to the buckle. Back out yet another time. Jimmy Powers on a roll, clothesline, and the King, Jerry Lawler, is taking off. Oh, come on. The King is having his problems. Rounding event, looking over here at you, Macho Man, Randy Savage. Uh-oh, look at that. Burger King. Right in front of us. Shut up. You behind this. A lot of guts looking over here telling you to shut up. Macho Man, I'm paying that. I'm right here, you know what I mean? You know, that's cool with me either way. The King, Jerry Lawler, our broadcast colleague on WWF Superstars. That's the first time that you and the King have not seen things eye to eye. Hey, I've proved I've showed a lot of patience and I'm not even a doctor. Okay. Standing side headlock. Lawler coming off the ropes, stepping over. Powers right back in front. Nice big fight by Powers waiting for him. Nice hip toss. And a scoop and a slam. I would love for Jimmy Powers to beat Jerry the King, Lawler, right here on Monday Night Raw. Lawler, looking over here again. He does not like the Chad Burger King. It's a lot nicer than it could be. You got a problem, brother. What's your problem? What's going on, man? Oh, he has lots of problems. This capacity crowd in unison chanting Burger King. He does not like that at all. He doesn't like it. He doesn't realize that I'm the world's greatest problem solver. I could solve his problem right now, but I think Jimmy Powers is gonna beat me to it. Finally in the ring and competing, whether he likes it or not, the King, Jerry Lawler, against Jimmy Powers. The King has been running his mouth, messing with the right hand. Powers connecting. Oh, right in the mush. Beautiful shot by Jimmy Powers. Caught him right square in the face. And the King, looking down this way again. The King, Jerry Lawler, on WWF Superstars. You can hear him boast about how great he really is. And we're taking a look at it here for the first time on Monday Night Raw. They do not like him here in New York City, folks, much to his protest. He cannot concentrate on the matchup. They're driving him nuts here on Monday Night Raw. From now on, he's gonna have to travel with a psychiatrist at $9,000 an hour. That's gonna get expensive. Powers against the rope. Nice reversal there. Off the rope, the King back. Body drop. Jimmy Powers on a roll. I think everybody in this building can feel how bad Jimmy Powers wants to beat the King. Ooh, that's gonna hurt. And the King hanging on to the rope. Big smile on the King's face now. I hate that smile. I'm telling you. I like when people are happy but not healed. The King sort of rubbing it in at his capacity crowd, and there's no doubt they've gotten to the King. They have distracted him greatly. Kiss my feet, he's saying. On Monday Night Raw at the Manhattan Center. He wants Powers to kiss his feet. Not Jimmy Powers and not one person in this building would do that. One, two, three. And to the buckle again. Jerry Lawler. Here's your Burger King now, huh? Burger King! Burger King! Burger King! And again, they're getting to him. I like it. Burger King! Burger King! The King, Jerry Lawler. Allegedly one of the great wrestlers of our time, but this capacity crowd has really distracted the King. And ooh, right on the money with the right hand. Bottom lane, he's good. Now we gotta stop and beat him. I think he's talking to you again. Is he talking to me? I don't think so, no. Was he talking to me? No, no, no. He was addressing someone else. Unbelievable. Is he talking to me? No. Yeah. Take it easy now, Macho. Take it easy. Calm down. Take it easy. Kinda hard to calm down when it's the calm before the storm. Jimmy Powers now whipped to the nearside right above us. And Lawler wants to say goodbye-bye. Here he comes. Oh, right into the boot. Right into the boot that has Lawler right. To the back off. And again and again and again. Powers on a roll here. And the King is gonna feel like a pauper after that. Off the rope now. Powers sets him up, goes downstairs. Powers with a knee lift. Nicely done. He's got him right now. I feel it. Yeah, do it, Jimmy Powers. Take him down. Jimmy Powers with the King Jerry Lawler on Monday Night Raw. Off the rope and a back body drop. What goes up must come down, Jerry Lawler. Lawler favoring his back a bit. Powers now whips him to the rope again, sets him up. No, one time too many. Did you see that? Big mistake. Uh-uh. Oh, wait a minute. We're watching, all right. Off goes Jimmy Powers with a pile driver. The cover. Look at him pulling the tights. He's pulling the tights. He's got a handful of tights. Look at the smile. The smile is repulsed, McMahon. Jerry Lawler. Well, they don't like him here at the Manhattan Center. I can tell you that. Lawler strutting his stuff. Victorious in his debut on Monday Night Raw. He would have this capacity crowd bow to him and perhaps kiss his feet. I'm gonna chill out right now, Vince McMahon. I can't stand to hear it. Listen to it. What? He's looking over your way right now. That's what he's looking for. Oh, really? This way. It looks like the King wants to call the Macho Man out. We'll be back as we continue with more Monday Night Raw. Not so sure, Randy Savage. It seems to me that maybe Jerry the King Lawler's headed over this way. We're back, and Jerry the King Lawler here with the Macho Man Randy Savage. We couldn't help but overhear a few comments from you when you were having your match there, directed toward the Macho Man Randy Savage. You know, you Macho Man and all the rest of this scum from the Rotten Apple are right where you belong, sitting nice and comfortable in a little chair watching the greatest wrestler in the world in the ring. It's easy for all of you to run your mouths when you're sitting in your little seat. All of you gutless wonders, the only thing that's athletic about any of you is your feet, and that goes for you too, Macho Man. You don't have the guts to get in the ring with the real King. You understand what I'm saying? Okay, well, thank you very much to King Jerry Lawler, the Macho Man Randy Savage, who's got nothing but guts. The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Hello, everyone, and welcome to this WWF event. The Rulaman soon along with his lordship, Alfred Hayes, a matchup about to take place here, main event material in any arena in the entire world, Alfred. Yes, and what a test this is going to be for Mr. Fung, his man, Yokozuna. He's coming against probably one of the biggest men he's going to be pitted against. Hayes Fung will certainly push Yokozuna to the limit. Yes, and... Looks like you're here to miss too many meals, though. Well, I would say not, though. Yes, they do, uh, portray themselves when they're young to grow to such massive proportions. Two lovely young-looking gaiters there. I'd like to see their faces. Look at that chipper. Yeah. There's one thing you know, Grilla, our cameramen take you right inside the ring. They do. Some of them want Hayes with his duty pay, though. I don't blame them. I would like to get too close to Yokozuna for this shot. Tremendous ovation here for Typhoon. And a look at the stain, as you saw, on our video wall from Yokozuna. Well, he's not exactly the inscrutable East Yokozuna, but he does try to keep more emotion from his face. You'll see the same expression practically all the way through, but there was a look of disdain. You're right, Grilla. He looks at Typhoon and fucks that. I don't think this fellow's worthy. Look, I don't think we're supposed to reinforce the ring for this one. Oh, God. Is that ring caved in? We're all going to go with it, I think. Tucked into a big black hole. I'll bet you I can beat you back to the locker room area, Alfred. Take a look at this. It looks like perhaps no longer 505 pounds, but maybe 525. Yes, he's talking huge, huge. Right. A little ceremony here. The dreaded salt ceremony to drive away the evil spirits. It didn't drive you away, Grilla. Oh, I knew about that. Look at this. You've got some salt in your eyes there. Well, the whole ringside area over here got their complete years, what would you say, quota of salt in their diet, Alfred. Of sodium, yes. It looks like Dandruff over there, Jacket. Yes. Now showing up that he has no hidden object. Why on earth would he need a hidden object? Nothing under that object. Is that what that is? Well, I thought it was something else. Oh, it's to show that you are carrying nothing. Very interesting. Of course you spent a considerable amount of time in Japan. I certainly did. Made at least two trips over there from 1963 through 1979 every year. Every year, sir. For nine to twelve to fifteen weeks here at a time. Well, I went there for two of the panels for fifteen weeks. Oh, look at that. What a move by Yokozuna. As they clashed together, the immovable object and the irresistible force, nothing happened. And then Yokozuna nailed him with a belly to belly. And wasn't that power, power for funny fight. Typhoon 400 pounds plus, and Yokozuna really dealt with him most efficiently. Referee right over to kisser Typhoon, question him, is he all right to continue? He's huge man. Now there's a little distraction there on the part of Mr. Fuji. He does that better than anybody. He certainly does, and that's where Yokozuna with a manager like Mr. Fuji fought so well. Uh oh, look out. Oh my word. 500 pounds plus. The typhoon just became a summer's dream. Oh, but he did indeed. Just a zephyr inside the ring there. Yokozuna certainly didn't expect this kind of matchup. Certainly expected more of a challenge on a typhoon. Yokozuna made it look easy. He certainly did. Well, right in the very beginning here, Yokozuna took away any offensive moves that Typhoon may have had in mind with that tremendous catch arm reflex. Mr. Fuji certainly has a gold mine here in Yokozuna. After much deliberation over Mr. Fuji's protest on behalf of Yokozuna, it is my decision that there was an oral contract. Mr. Fuji issued a challenge. Hulk Hogan accepted. Furthermore, there was a WWF referee in the ring. Therefore, my decision is that Hulk Hogan remain World Wrestling Federation Champion. Alright folks, I'm The Messenger and I've got some great news for you. Here in the Tri-State area, Connecticut, New Jersey and New York, we're going to be out in Uniondale, Long Island at the Nassau Coliseum. Out of the heels of WrestleMania IX with World Wrestling Federation action. Saturday night, May the 1st, Mr. Fuji, come on in. Bret the Hitman Hart, by the way, is going to be facing... Oh, my God. No, he stepped on my foot. Keep this man under control. I told you once and I'll tell you again. My Yokozuna is very, very disappointed in the outcome of WrestleMania IX. Well, I can understand that. Hacksaw, Jim Duggan, a man that you challenged a number of weeks ago, we know what happened the first time. What's going to happen this time? First time, as you recall, Hacksaw, you'll be laid out, stretched out. With your American flag, I covered you head to toe. This time around, you'll be laid out, but I'll do something better. I'll go one step ahead. I will lay my Japan flag right on you head to toe. Thank you very much. Sayonara, Mr. Fuji. Sayonara, my son. Don't worry. Very good, Mr. Fuji. His man Yokozuna is going to be meeting Hacksaw, Jim Duggan. Pat Riley called me about you this past week. Shawn Michaels, he watched WrestleMania IX and he saw you personally trash Mr. Perfect. You know, I would think Pat Riley could really use a cheap shot artist like me on his team. You know something? Did you see Mr. Perfect with his head sticking out of that trash can? I saw it. You know who he reminded me of? Who's that? He reminded me of Grover from Sesame Street. You know something, Mr. Perfect? If you were so perfect, wouldn't you be challenging me for the Intercontinental title? See, as far as I can tell, I'm the man with the gold. I'm the man with the flawless record. I'm the man that's unblemished head to toe. So, Perfect, if you want some of me, come and get it. You're a two-time IC champ. In my book, that makes you a two-time loser. Well, I don't know about that. The words of none other than the intercontinental champion, reigning intercontinental champion, Shawn Michaels. His thought of defense against Mr. Perfect. Again, ladies and gentlemen, the on-shore presentation of WrestleMania IX will be this Monday night. Once again, you can see my colleague, O'Reilly, from Kansas City, Missouri. It's 10 o'clock Eastern and Pacific. And I can tell you one thing, Bobby the Brain-Heenan. This big man getting into the ring is one tough individual. And his opponent from Blackpool, Wisconsin, weighing well over 300 pounds, is this athlete, JD Stryker. As JD Stryker gets his introduction, there's the bell. We're ready for action. And Mr. Hughes with a very nasty look. And is he going to wrestle with those shades on? I guess. That's a little dangerous, wouldn't you think? I would think so. But it shows you the confidence he must have in himself. Yeah, he can wrestle with the shades on. He just ran through JD Stryker with that clothesline. And hammered him with a straight right hand. Remember still to come in this broadcast, the return of Hacksaw Jim Duggan. This big Mr. Hughes, very impressive looking athlete, as he takes Stryker up and over, landed him with that slam, and could have pinned him right there. As Mr. Hughes catches his opponent and executes a violent backbreaker. This guy's got an ugly, nasty look on his face. He is not happy about something. Lateral press, and once again, he refuses to pin his opponent. He's very, very agile for his size, especially in there with street clothes on. Sunglasses, suspenders, a tie. Right hand. He is a very physically dominant athlete, who has certainly controlled this one. Kicked him right in the ribs, as Mr. Hughes on JD Stryker. Looks like a guy that would collect if you were, like, car payment short. Maybe a half hour late. I would imagine he has some very strong, persuasive powers. Good flexibility. Okay, I'm not the average guy that makes payments. I pay cash for everything. Oh, I'm sure you do. Well, I've made a few payments in my time. About to pick up one time on time. Don't, Jimmy, don't. Tremendous slam. He hooks the leg. Very impressive victory for Mr. Hughes. Here is your winner, Mr. Hughes. I've had a couple of pick-up trucks in my time, as a matter of fact. Look at this, Ross. Kicks him right in the mush. Right in the face. And keeps his balance. Watch how he manhandles this man. Look at this. Just drives him into that man. Oh, yeah. Very impressive outing for Mr. Hughes to the kind. Much more. Jim Ross and Bobby the Brain Heenan back with you here for more WWF action. And as the Beverly Brothers and Little Louie make their way to the ring, I'll never forget seeing Bobby the Brain Heenan just last weekend holding on, seemingly, for dear life on this camel. It was something I'll never forget. The worst day of my life. I was supposed to be taking out the sedan. Girls feeding me grapes, fanning me. They hooked me up to this 9,000-pound wild attack camel. Attack camel? You noticed it, too. I didn't know that you had such a fear of animals. I don't like camels. I don't even smoke. You wouldn't have done well on the farm. Of course not. From Beverly Hills. What are they doing, farm animals? Well, speaking of farm animals, and just about as crazy as some of them we have seen. They are confident, no doubt about it, but the wild and crazy Bushwhackers on their way to the ring was their buddy Tiger Jackson. He looks good on a camel, though. Mindy Kennedy's going to make a sequel to Unforgiven about the life and times of Bobby the Brain Heenan and his adventures on his camel pride or something. Pride? I don't know what a camel is. I don't want to talk about a camel. I don't like animals. You know, Macho Man looked up. I thought he looked very spectacular with the Vespa Virgins, and I don't understand what happened. I really thought, as she mentioned, that she was going to be with the Vespa Virgins. I don't know what happened. I was shocked one more time, stabbed in the back. Were you a little bit intimidated by the Macho Man? No, I don't get intimidated by him, but I'm not Marlon Perkins. I'm not an animal tamer. I'm not Siegfried Roy. Tiger Jackson got a pretty nice haircut there. Well, a lot of people don't know that Tiger Jackson, right there, is the first daughter of the Bushwhackers. Would you please repeat that? Get that. That is Luke and Bush's daughter. Daughter. That's what I hear. They're older sisters. Well, this one will be unorthodox to say the least. I don't name any official in this match, either. I don't have Otaya, and it looks as if little Louie has a little size advantage. But not much. But it looks like Tiger Jackson's a lot quicker. As a matter of fact, Tiger Jackson looks like a cashew nut. Tiger Jackson with a little sleight of hand. Speaking of sleight of hand, too good for clowns, and I don't care what you say, I saw two clowns. See, that's what happens when you stay up late in Vegas. You'll see pink elephants if you stay up late enough. I'm telling you what it was. It was just an illusion, like Siegfried Roy did. It was a magic trick. There's only one doing it. Well, I don't believe that, and I think the fans that saw WrestleMania certainly would not agree with that, either. And Tiger Jackson seeking some relief there in the bottom turnbuckle. I believe he was munched upon. You know what his favorite dessert is? Shortcake. Shortcake. Yeah, I had a feeling you might say that. You know what his favorite seafood is? Shrimp. Uh-oh, they... Remember, I'll just spoil for him. Oh, yeah, what a great night. He should be fine just to spit it, right, Bray? Ooh, right there in the arms of his fans. See, Randy was older brothers. Oh, that's a trio to grow to, I'll tell you. They have him by the house next door to you. Tiger Jackson back in the ring. That's property value you go down. Tiger Jackson... putting his slightly larger opponent down. The look. Unique assist there by the referee. Grove over here. I'll play catch with him. He'll probably drop him on purpose. Accidents do happen, Rock. The world's smallest Chippendale dancer. He's quick. That face lock. That drive. And, uh, he's freaking a little... a little bit of, uh... He's got some... a little bit of, uh... He's kind of stretching the rooms. There's that young man, the Tiger Jackson. You know, if I bit that referee, I'd be fine and suspended. If I shoved the referee, I'd be out of the WWF. Again, the front face lock, and again, Tiger Jackson slept with the referee, and the referee thinks it was Little Louie that was the perpetrator. Tiger Jackson, dummy. And you can certainly trust the Beverly brothers. They've never told a lie or done anything illegal. Not to me. Well, you're the kind of guy... You know these guys. You guys are from the same part of the country. Well, they're good friends. They're from Ohio. They're from Shaker Heights and outside of Cleveland, but they're wealthy. They're just nice people. And the pace cookers are living it. Oops. Tiger Jackson got tricked. It's like a Nintendo game. I'm not sure. Brian, you're the analyst. What do you call that one? That's a head spin. Oh, the old head spin. The old head spin. Well, Louie has Tiger Jackson on his shoulders for that small airplane spin, and Louie's a little bit dizzy. Trips back over his opponent. Come on, ref. Get Butch out of there. There's an illegal assist by Butch. And it's going away. That's not fair. That's not fair. And the Beverly's now. And the Bushwackers hooking it up. The Beverly's on the outside. And the Bushwackers are marching tall. Look at this. Look at this. They walk on that. Well, he said it was going to be on Northadocs. What's the 19th and an IQ of 11? I don't know, Brian. Tell me. What has 19 teeth and an IQ of 11? The Bushwackers and Tiger Jackson combined. What do you mean? What a little unorthodox, as we mentioned, but they were victorious in this contest. They cheated. Butch came in and threw that little cat shoe on that other little hillbilly. I hate this. Here it is, guys. Just like I promised. Now, tell us everything you know about the Steiner brothers. Let me tell you something. We wrestled the Steiner brothers right here last week on Raw. And they think they're unbeatable. And they're not. What about that double arm suplex? Their suplexes are devastating. That's why you've got to take their legs out as fast as they look. They're fast. Look out for that Scotty, especially. He's quick as a cat. And I'm telling you, they're strong. They're really strong. Their baby, their main move, their finishing thing is that Frankenstein. Don't let it happen. If you get caught in that Frankenstein, you're done. Well, how do you stay out of it? All right, we're back with our Monday Night Raw. And yes, Money Incorporated is standing by. However, before we go to Money Incorporated, next week here on Monday Night Raw, Virgil squaring off against Razor Ramon Ramon. Easy for me to say. What a matchup. It's gonna be hot. They hit man right here on Monday Night Raw. But ask these guys a serious question. Let's go now. Money Incorporated scheduled to join us. And gentlemen, can you hear us? Yes, we can hear you. What about it? You don't seem happy at all. Next week, the Beverly Brothers challenging Money Incorporated. What about it? Challenge Money Incorporated like we're supposed to run away scared. Yeah, we accept your challenge. What about your advice? We have faced everybody. We beat Hulk Hogan and Beefcake. Oh, wait a minute. Look at this. They're going at it. The Beverly Brothers. Money Incorporated calling in. Well, this is what we have been awaiting this week. Here it comes, our feature matchup. Bam, bam. Big alone. Talk about a mean dude and a big dude. He's on fire. All right. Here it comes. Bam, bam. Big alone. All right, King, what words of wisdom do you have for Bam Bam Big Alone as he approaches an individual unquestionably as far greater agility, far greater speed in Owen Hart? Greater agility and greater speed than Bam Bam? Are you talking about Owen Hart now? You got it. Go ahead and answer the question. You're talking about that kid from the Hart family, the one that's the brother to the fit man, Owen Hart. You got it. You think that he is more agile and is faster than Bam Bam. Just watch what takes place here and you will change your feeble opinion. Bam Bam versus Owen Hart. There he is. Bam Bam can do that. Oh, really? Yes. I see. You can do a lot of things you don't show us, too, I guess, huh? Yeah, right. Before it's over, I'm gonna show you a lot of things, too. Don't let anything stop you. We'll look forward to the King showing us. We hear the King a great deal, and you can see Bam Bam. Kick by Owen Hart right away. Didn't even phase him. Owen Hart with the right hand, a series of them now. Bam Bam thinking all against her off. Owen Hart trying to set up the big man. Bam Bam up high. Put on the fractional. That's some agility. You're right. That was awesome. I'm glad to hear you admit when you're wrong. You're not impressed. Bam Bam hammering away on the brother of the Hitman, Bret Hart. You guys have been brainwashed that this whole Hart family is tough. Of course, you guys could be brainwashed with an eyedropper, but let me tell you something about the Hart family. Well, it wasn't Bret and Owen. When they were growing up, they were the bullies of their neighborhood. They were tough arrestees. They could beat up any kid on a block except the Smiths. The Smiths? Yeah, they were boys. Ha ha ha ha ha! The Hart brothers, they don't impress me at all. Owen Hart on the top rope, and the fractional kick. And now Bam Bam is impressed with that maneuver. Keep going, Owen. Even though the King's not impressed, keep going. Owen Hart off the rope! He's trying to hit him down! That's right. The crowd's helping the Rockets. Owen Hart working on the rest of Big Bam Bam, and the Big Man is down. And Bam Bam is hurting. Tell you what, Owen Hart had better not do. He had better not make the Big Man mad. And a slam. No ball missing. Owen Hart does far too quick. Yes! And far greater agility as was said before. Not far greater, not far greater. Somewhat greater than? No. Bam Bam seems to be dwindling right now. Yeah, sort of sizzling out a little bit at the moment, at least. Maybe the Rockets gonna throw a bucket of water at his head. Now what's gonna happen is he's gonna light that short fuse of Bam Bam's in a minute. And then the only Rocket you're gonna see is that Owen Hart being lit up and flying around the top of that arena. Well, he can fly. I don't know about that, but I saw him flying earlier on from the top right to the drop kick. Look at that. Yeah, Bam Bam using his head as a battering ram. There's a drop kick for you. On the outside, Owen Hart collecting himself. And Bam Bam's coming right out there with him. Bam Bam ramming on with the knee in front. The matchup will resume when we return with more WWF Superstars. We're back with more WWF action. And Bam Bam Vigalo has been doing a masterful job of keeping Owen Hart out of the ring. He's definitely the master of disaster right here in Superstars. Yes, he is. A nice short of him. And over the head. Over the whole body. The Rock and Owen Hart behind Big Bam Bam trying to get him down. He can't get him down. Bam Bam! He got him down all right. Just not the way he wanted him down. I give credit to the Rock and Owen Hart. There's about seven different times where another guy would have quit. Wouldn't have had it in him, but the Rockie keeps fighting. And Bam Bam Vigalo unrelenting in his attack on the Rock and Owen Hart. Uh-oh. Bam Bam. What's he gonna do? What's that? Give me a break. He's got 42 ways of, uh, disassembling a rock. That's exactly right. You know, Bam Bam is proving that he is just as agile, he is just as quick, and he is much, much more powerful. Bam Bam hammering away almost at will now on the Rock and Owen Hart. And I must say that the Rock and Owen Hart has really been impressive in this matchup. And I'm not too sure. He came down on his knee, I believe, from way, way up there. Yes. That's it. Throw in the white towel. The Rock and Owen Hart, very impressive in single competition. We have seen him in a tag team before. Uh-oh. And Bam Bam continuing to apply yet more pressure. Moving in. Look at the Rock and keep fighting. It's not over until it's over. And if any family knows about Perseverance, it would be the Hart family. A whole family of losers. A whole family of winners. Perhaps that family having more respect in the World Wrestling Federation than any other. And look at this. Out of the bear hug, Owen Hart trying to work to the inside. Has a way out. Look at this. How about that? Yeah, how about it. A hug. Let's kick it out. No. No kick down. What currents. He's got my respect and that counts, doesn't it, King? Yes, it does. You said it's not over until it's over. Well, it's over. The only one that doesn't know it is Owen Hart. And he still won't know it. Oh, my goodness. He knows it now. He knows it now. You might be right, but I don't think so. Not until I hear that three count. Bam Bam, he's a tough guy with the rocket. And a head-butt follow-up there with Bam Bam, take a look. You got him, Bam Bam, you got him. And a sloppy cover. Still kicked out. Still did it. Prolonging the agony, that's all he's doing. It's all right. I'm not so certain. He may end up winning the match. Yeah. And Owen Hart whipped to the far side. Wait a minute, I think there. I'll tell you, I think he hurt that knee earlier. I think he's going on guts alone. I think he blew the knee right there there. I think he's just running on guts. Oh, he can't even run. Oh, but nonetheless, moving out of the way. Bam Bam Bigelow having his problems Owen Hart, perhaps having even more severe problems with the knee. Come on, Bam Bam, work on that leg. Work on the leg? Certainly. I've got chills, the rocket is just unbelievable against all odds. Bam Bam going in to the top, the rocket even. Oh, he got him. And that should do it in time. He looks free with the rocket right there, but he's saying he's something. I believe it was a high-risk maneuver on the part of the rocket. Owen Hart didn't get him in. Bam Bam didn't do him in. The rocket took a chance and it backfired. But you have to take chances when you're in there against a competitor like Bam Bam Bigelow. Let's go back and take another look. Give Bam Bam some credit. Owen Hart, the rocket came right down on his knee. Fits you right, right there. And now look, he tries another high-risk maneuver, but he can't make it. Guts, guts. The rocket's got guts, King. Something you don't know about. He's got guts, but no brains. What a war it's going to be when Luna Vachon and Susational Sherry finally meet one on one. It's going to be a battle between those two ladies. And Bobby, this is a very important tag team matchup. As far as the tag team title picture is concerned, right here in the WWF, this is very important. I'll tell you how important it is. The better ways to take it on the nasties, the starter's not even on the card, but they are in the building watching this match. I know Money, who's on the card, they're in the back on a monitor watching it, shows you the importance that everybody wants to become WWF tag team champion. Both, Beverly was on your left there. Blake, the taller of the two on your right. Both the blonde. They're both blonde. See, and they're one and two of them. And combined weight of six pounds. Great crowd on hand, another capacity crowd. From Allentown, look at the clothing. A tremendous gathering of wrestling fans here with this week's WWF Challenge. And the Nasty Boys make their way to the ring. They're as nasty as they want to be. You know, Sanks pulled his own tooth. Oh, he did. That doesn't surprise me. The Nasty Boys certainly becoming one of the most popular teams here in the WWF. And again, as Bobby the Brain he didn't mention, Money Incorporated, IRS, and the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase, watching this match. We'll see them in action later in this hour. And the Steiner's are in the building. Why would they be here if they're not wrestling? See the importance of this match? Everybody wants to see. Because things can change so quickly here in the World Wrestling Federation. Referee trying to get it one-on-one here, the early going of this contest. Still to come, we want to remind you that the Narcissist, Lex Lueber, will be here. Well, Matador is still to come. And the Nasty's certainly getting the crowd involved here in the early going. As it will be. Sanks kicking it off for the Nasty's against the... That is both. Are you sure that's both? Are you sure that's Sacks? Yeah, I'm sure it's Sacks. I'm sure it's both. I think that's Blake. That's not Blake, that's Sacks. How many Sacks do you see out there? Oh, we're going to do it with the clown thing again. How many Sacks are there? There's one Sacks. There's one Knob. There's one Bo. There's one Blake. But there are two doing the clowns. And that's six. Ask Crush. Ask Crush how many doing the clowns there are. He's from Hawaii. He can't count past three. Wrong. There's no tie up here. Sacks forces him back into the corner. And got a handful of hair there. Straight right hand catching Sacks right in the face. You can beat Sacks all day in the face. Doesn't make much of a difference. He's not a very good looking man. Well, it's not a beauty contest. Place buckets here. Nice counter move. Reversal. Hit by takeovers. And a close line. And down goes Blake Beverly. Going back to make that tag. He's going to cut that ring in half. Beverly with that close line. Lateral press. Boy, I sure hate to see the memories involved in a pit stop. Well, that's when they raise their arms. It is rather disgusting. Wrist lock applied by Knopf. Thump right to the eye. And a tag has been made. Hit by takeover. And scoops him up. There's Brian Knopf. Oh! Look at that! He had his seatbelt on. I wouldn't have saved him. Come on, Beverly, sister! Bring it on! Knopf said, referring to the Beverly's as Beverly sisters. All you're going to do doing that, Knopf, you're going to make the Beverly brothers mad. That's both Beverly, right? That's Blake Beverly. Are you sure? Yes. Come on! Oh, he's the one on the apron. That's two Beverly. Well, he wants to make friends now. There you go. That just fired up Knopf's right hand. Grabbed him by the hair. Takes him straight down. That's Brian Knopf. The nasty boys. A rather unorthodox, yet very physical team. A tag has been made. They're not really wrestlers. They're more like maulers. They'll just manhandle you and beat you up. Oh, lateral press and here fall. He's back to hook the leg. Couldn't quite execute that pending predicament. They're Jerry Sags. Back in the ropes. Down in the corner. Referee Collins for the break. But we do not get a clean break. Irish whip, far side. And nobody there this time. See, the secret with the nasties, you gotta get them down and you gotta make quick tags. You gotta wear them out. You don't stand up and fight them. They're real big, tough, rugged men. So you gotta get them down. They can wrestle. They don't know a hammer lock from the padlocks. So you gotta get them down and kick them. That's a rather debatable point. I'll have to agree that they're great brawlers. They're great street fighters. But I've seen these guys execute some outstanding wrestling maneuvers from time to time. Yeah, like running a man's face into your armpit. Oh, cheap shot. On the outside. This tag team confrontation will continue. And we'll be back right after this timeout. Kick him! Kick him! Wes Fairfoot continues to hammer away. And Brian, Jim Ross, and Bobby the Grand, he's back with you. And this is quite a tag team matchup, Paul. See, you gotta keep them down now. Get them back to your corner. Fast tags. One takes the referee's vision away. One makes the move. Back in tags. Turn the referee back and forth. And that's how a good tag team operates. Tag made. Blake Beverly tagging his brother, Paul. And both coming right off the second rope. The double axe head right to the spine of knobs of the Nasty Boys. And as we said earlier, this match is very, very important in the WWF tag team title picture and what velocity in that Irish whip. And he's down. That's where you'll want him. But you'll want him down into your corner. Look at that. Spinning on the mat. What a slam. Excuse me. Bobby, please! Double teaming by the Beverly's, proving very, very effective here. And more double teaming. That'll hurt a lot more tomorrow morning than it does right now. Sure hurts a lot right now. Maybe all. He hooks a near leg. Got a near fall out of it. He's getting up slow. He's saving his back. Another tag made. The Beverly's making another exchange here. Stay on the back. Another crowd getting into this one. Channing for the Nasty Boys. Cut his hair off. Cut his hair off. Better make that tag. Now, fighting back with right hands and trying to scoop him up, but his back was obviously bothering him there. He could not get his opponent up. A face lock. Rob's trying to block what looks like a tip of suplex here. It tatters into one of his arms. But I think that'll hurt now more than it did late February. Both teams need to make a tag here. There you see. Both Beverly and he makes a tag with his brother. Oh, outside goes. Now, Knobz. Brian Knobz and a great deal of trouble here. See what they should be doing right now. Both of them on the floor. Both Beverly's pick up Knobz and run him backwards into the post. Rearrange the whole slide. Good Greco-Roman posting move. Beverly brothers certainly seem to be gaining the offensive advantage here in this tag team confrontation. And Knobz again. Oh, he dropped it with steel. They dropped him face first right over the steel. Did Blake Beverly and I'm not so sure Knobz is going to be able to recover from that. I think they knocked some teeth out. Big deal. Beat him now. Just beat him. Kick him, stomp him, and beat him. Here we go. Again, lateral press and hooking the mirror lead. Got some fight left in him. But he's just running on fumes. Oh, nasty boys are tough. They certainly will not quit. They're not smart enough to quit. Another tag made. The Beverly brothers make the exchange. Blake Beverly Irish whip. Oh, he lowered his head a little bit too early. Too much, too much. You're right. He caught him just right too. Now he's going to make that tag to go. And now let's see if Knobz can tag in Sads. Oh, no, no, no. Come on, Blake. Make that tag. The Beverly's make the tag. Oh, put the brakes on them. Sads comes in. Look at that. Stop right there. That must be Irish whip. I mean, I'm all pissed. The nasty boys pissed. Double ax had a friendly high and now the nasty boys are trying to double team Sads. And Sads, the double DD team. See, he slips. Got the wrong burger. No, he's got the I don't know who's legal. Oh, for a minute and a half. Knobz knocked outside again leaving Jerry Sads in there to compete with both Beverly's. Now this is two of them. The Beverly's made a mistake there. Sads is enrolled out and the nasty boys win it. He's not the legal man. Well, the nasty boys have won the match but the Beverly's may be winning the war here. The Beverly's double teaming Jerry Sads. They missed a clothesline. Uh-oh. And for the 2-0-2, we see the nasty boys get the loop. This will be important to Money Incorporated and to the slider brothers. Tag team competition very, very intense. They're clearing the W. WF is pressing victory for the nasty boys. You two bleach blonde morons think you're gonna bankrupt Money Incorporated when the Mega Maniacs couldn't do it? Who are you fooling? You're gonna find out when you cross Money Incorporated's path you pay the price. And Beverly brothers, tonight you're gonna pay. Money ink tonight right here in front of everyone we're gonna show you how much you're worth. We're gonna bankrupt you right here on Monday Night Raw. Raw! Raw! You're the most sleeping the most sensational one. Our history is rich with pain and ma'am violence and evil. At WrestleMania I walked down that aisle a princess, no a goddess and you, you had to put your nose into my business where it never belonged. I beat you. I beat you to the ground. The pain, the pain, and the anguish. You're mine. It didn't stop there! Oh, no! I hunted you down and found you beaten, beaten at the first aid station. And then, you truly witnessed my fury! And finally, here, last Monday night on Raw, I tore at your flesh, I tore at your clothes, I tore at your very soul! Sensational one, from this day forth, I will haunt your very breath. I will be your shadow in the darkness. And then soon, very, very soon, I will wipe you from this earth. And I, Luna Vashon, I will be the goddess of the square circle! We're back with our Monday Night Raw! And we hear the laugh of the Million Dollar Band, Ted DiBiase. Here comes Money Incorporated. Many of you were with us last week when there was a little dissension between the Beverly Brothers and Money Incorporated. The Beverly Brothers challenged Money Incorporated. We're gonna have a match of two highly undesirable tag teams right here on Monday Night Raw. A lot of tag teams put in at these gates. If you tag teams didn't pay your taxes on April 15th, don't think for one second that you're gonna get an extension because you're not. And here they come! From Jigger Heights, Ohio, at the total combined weight of 520 pounds. Who is late for the Beverly Brothers? Oh, and right, the Beverly Brothers two weeks ago swirled off against the Steiners. What a match that was, the Steiner Brothers coming out on top. Just last week, the Beverly Brothers offered their advice to Money Incorporated. Money Incorporated took their advice and could not defeat Scotty Steiner in single competition. Hence, after that, a belay ensued. And look out, here we go! No bottom line, it really doesn't matter how it happened. The Beverly Brothers got a chance of a lifetime non-title match against the champions. Look at this, they're going at it. All four individuals and no one really cares who wins this matchup, I don't think. The Beverly Brothers do and Money Incorporated do. Yeah, they sure do. Money Incorporated is going to be Chapter 11 by the end of this month. Perhaps so. And no question, the Beverly's have everything to win if they defeat Money Incorporated here tonight on Monday Night Raw. They are in contention for the Jackie Jacks. Listen to the Irwin Jack. What a match just last week. Irwin R. Scheister squaring off against Scotty Steiner. Athleticism at its highest degree. Monday Night Raw, big showdown. Bad day of Black Rock. Only one tag team will survive. Oh, and Blake the Beverly Brothers. And it looks like it's going to be Blake to start things off here. Who do you think is going to win this match, Bartlett? Oh, yeah, let's go to rambling Rob Bartlett here. With his expertise. The Beverly Hillbillies. I see. Sorry I asked. And no doubt, as the match progresses, the analysis of Rob Bartlett becomes sharper and sharper. It's coming to the point, I think. What a reversal here by the Million Dollar Man. And likewise again by Bo Beverly. Oh, that's Blake in there. What kind of style would you say this is? What kind of a style? Freestyle hip-hop. Hip-hop? There you go. He's right there, folks. I think maybe that last week that interview took an awful lot out of Mr. Bartlett. I want to know about that, Dave, but... That's Vance. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, but before that interview happened, he wasn't doing too good either. Oh! Ted DiBiase having his problems. And Blake slamming the Million Dollar Man. Back up to his feet. Nice tag, and from the top row, down across the arm. Big match for the purple and white. Beverly Brothers are doing it. They got money there. No matter where he looks, he sees stars. DiBiase is having his problems. Oh, how about this? Now, this is what Tag Team is all about. Maybe that's what they were trying to tell the Money Incorporated to do against the Steiner's. And again, perhaps the Beverly Brothers gave Money Incorporated bad advice intentionally. Very good. I think that's what it was. Yeah, very sharp, the Beverly Brothers. You don't think they had ulterior motives, do you, Vince? No, no, not the Beverly Brothers. You're a little naive, aren't you, Merlin? Bartlett naive? No. Not after last week, he's not naive. I know it. That's why you've arrived. Thanks. Hey, by the way, though, did you and Sherri go out after the matches last week? No. No, we didn't. She... Well, I don't want to get into it right now. How about now? She beat me up, Vince. Really? I got beat up by a girl. That's not a six-section. Sherri is certainly no ordinary girl. For that matter, neither is Luna Vachon. Miss Vachon referred to herself as a woman of the 90s, as I recall, last week. And Bartlett is no ordinary guy. All right, thank you. And DiBiase trying to make the tag to Erwin Arshista. And if DiBiase cannot make the tag soon, I believe the Beverly Brothers... Uh-oh, there it is. Wait a minute. The official did not see it. Ooh. And look at this. Where is the official seeing this double team behind his back? Is Erwin hot? Is Erwin hot? When Luna says she's a woman of the 90s, does that mean, like, her IQ? You're gonna have to ask Luna about that, if you dare. How about the fights on Luna? I mean, very seldom I've ever heard a woman speak in bass, a baritone. I was waiting for her head to start spinning around. I think maybe that's next. Sensational Sherri, I believe, has her hands full with Luna Vachon. I trust a chick that's got a voice more than man. Yeah. I'd like to hear Luna say, ooh, yeah. Ooh, no. Ha-ha-ha. You can bet the Steiner Brothers are looking on with great interest in this matchup. All of the tag teams in the WWE, the head-shrinkers as well. That tag will not be legal right there. He had his foot on the bottom rope. Stop him. Well, the official apparently... Very involved. That's right. I know my rules. I just don't follow them. Ha-ha-ha-ha. Not when you can get away with it, huh? Uh-oh. And DiBiase. Shoulder to the buckle. You know what? Money Incorporated have their problems right now. And the nose to the grindstone. So to speak. To the buckle. And oh, my. What an elbow by Ted DiBiase. Blank as almost off his feet he is now. Down in the canvas. And here comes Erwin R. Scheister. Boy, is he glad he's in there. Oh, missing with the elbow. I'm very impressed thus far with the tag team coordination in the Beverly Brothers. Absolutely. Those guys, they deserve a shot at it. I don't care if they got it through, uh, DiBiase means, but they're wrestling a couple of DiBiase guys. Yes! They've been a file for reorganization, Money Inc. They're all over the place. We're not in a position to give advice right now, Barber. And again, another tag. And down across the shoulder, once again in this matchup, both Beverly and Erwin R. Scheister. Final turn, takedown count of two and almost a count of three. That's infuriating. Come on! The Beverly Brothers last week challenging Money Inc. And who would you say this capacity crowd is behind? Or don't they care? Maybe they want to see both teams lose. I think it's 51 to 49, but I can't call it. It's too close. Well, that's a match you never thought you'd see on Monday Night Raw, for sure. First and again, we never thought we'd see Rob Bartlett in his underwear last week. Look at this. Behind the referee's back. Both teams are going to do anything they can to win this match. I'm big, Big Mac. Nip and tuck, back and forth, and we'll be back as the matchup continues. Erwin R. Scheister back to the corner. We're back with our Monday Night Raw. We are live. Listen to this. Erwin chatting again. That hold can very easily front face like development to a choke, and that might be what we have here. And come on, Rob. Turn around. Now, how could Ted DiBiase have tied Erwin R. Scheister? Let's see how shocked this official is. Oh, give me a break. Come on. Desperate men do desperate things, and they want to pull nine of them titles into the same school. Rob Bartlett did. Same grammar school. Why? Where they stopped their formal education. Bartlett may never be the same after last week. It looks like Ted DiBiase and Erwin R. Scheister may never be the same after this matchup. Sure, it's going to be a clean break. No one expected that. There's nothing wrong with defense. No, of course not. There's nothing right with you either. Well, Ted DiBiase setting up both Beverly...oh, my! And not just about all both Beverly had was right there in the kick to the chest area that was effective. And now, here comes Erwin R. Scheister. Erwin R. Scheister. Doctor said I might have a little bit of a memory loss. Doctor said I might have a little bit of a memory loss. He heard you the first time. What a matchup. Again, a match we never thought we would see on Monday Night Raw. Uncensored. And I'm on, um... Yeah, you got it. Doctor said I might have a little bit of a memory loss. A memory loss. There! Body drop! No! Nice backbreaker. 30 point of the match right now. Both guys are down. Who can make the tag to the first guy? Oh, backing up. Looking at Tiger's partner, Blake. I think he's going to make it. First of all, he's got to go to the right corner. Yeah. The right corner would help. Yes, here we go. Take Ibiasi now. Oh, my! Over receiving into the headbutt. Ibiasi set up. Coming out to ropes in. Back! Body drop. Blake Beverly. All over the... Now, why would he tag Bo back in? He didn't look like he wanted to come in right there. Bo has to be exhausted for the cover! Oh! Buddy almost pinned him. Like I said, good idea. I guess so. What? Ted Ibiasi. Off the rope. Elbow. Finding the mark. The Beverly brothers now. Unquestionably with the momentum. A victory here would kind of pull them into tag team contention. Again, another back body drop. I tell you, I'm looking for an upset right now. Another cover to it. Throwing Arshesta right there. Uh-oh, look out! All right! Make it happen. Now, the double tape. Now, the set up. Ted Ibiasi. Off the rope. Oh, no! We saw something similar that last week. One, two, and three. YouTube! What a tough matchup that was. The doctor said I might have a little bit of a memory loss. No kidding. That's amazing. The Hitman, Brad Hart, has a loss all right. And he's gonna talk about it when we return with more WWF Faction of Monday Night Raw. Gentlemen, my guests, this is the end of the show. Thank you for watching. See you next week. Gentlemen, my guests, at this time, the former World Wrestling Federation Champion, and many would say unquestionably, the People's Champion, would you please welcome Man, Brad Hart! Go get him, Hitman! Can't keep a good man down. And Brett, it was approximately two weeks ago when you stepped into the ring at WrestleMania, yet another standing ovation. When you stepped into the ring at WrestleMania, you were wearing the World Wrestling Federation Championship belt. Unquestionably, you knew as you faced this 400-plus pounder that 500-plus pounder that you were the underdog. Well, you know, it's not the first time I've been an underdog. I think pretty much my entire career I think I've always walked in the ring for some reason. I've always been an underdog. And being the World Wrestling Federation Champion was a very, very challenging thing for me. And I felt almost always when I went in the ring, somehow I ended up always being an underdog. And for some reason, I kind of like that. I like going in the ring as an underdog. And this won't be the first time. I know a lot of people think that the Hitman's done, that I'm finished. This is as high as I'm ever going to go. But I don't think there could be more wrong because I've won and I've lost before. I've lost the World Tag Team titles twice. I've lost the Intercontinental title twice. And I can remember all kinds of people, all the skeptics saying he's finished, he's done. That's as good as the Hitman's ever going to get. Well, they were all wrong. And they're all wrong this time. Let me ask you something. Do I look like a beaten man? No way! I feel just a little bit naked, that's all. But I want everybody to know one thing. I believe in myself and I believe in my fans. And I'm going to go straight, right, back up to the top. And the first thing I can do is make myself a little hit list. And that's what I got. And the very first guy on my hit list is the Narcissist, Lex Luger. Now you're talking about someone running up to you, nailing you in the side of the head on the day of the biggest match of my entire lifetime. And I don't want to even give the Narcissist credit for any of that. He wants to go around telling everybody that he cost me the title. Well, we'll see all about that because Lex Luger, the Narcissist, is the number one first guy priority on my hit list. Well, Brett, there is an investigation, as you know, in terms of the forearm, a rather controversial forearm. And you were knocked unconscious at that WrestleMania brunch. Well, I've never been knocked out like that before. And I've never been I mean, I've been hit with elbows. It sort of comes with the job. You get hit with elbows all the time. But I have never, ever been hit with an elbow that hard. And I think Jack Tunney should put some kind of an investigation into that elbow because I think there's a little more to it than bone. Let me put it that way. What will it take for you to once again realize your dream? What will it take for you once again to be World Wrestling Federation Champion? It's going to take for me to start out like I did before. I'm going to take the Narcissist. I'm going to show him that this isn't bodybuilding. This is wrestling. And when he steps in the ring with me, he will be stepping in the ring with the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. And then as far as the rest of them go, Yoko Zuna and even the immortal Hulk Hogan. Just remember one thing. The Hitman is coming straight, right, back, up to the top to get back what's rightfully his. The World Wrestling Federation title. The Hitman Red Heart. Former World Wrestling Federation Champion. Perhaps once again to wear the crown. Get up, baby Hitman. We are back with more Monday Night Raw. Uncooked. Uncensored. And uncut. And last week, undressed. Short T.C. T.C. To hit if you press the Hitman hard, he'll tear your shirt. And the BAM BAM BAM BAM The Beast from the East. Look at BAM BAM Look at the Raw Girl. Bill Apollo beating this monster of a man. BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM All right. Strategy session here. Let's get the word from Rob Bartlett, our strategist for this match up. If you're Phil Apollo, what do you do against BAM BAM Vigalo, you being the technical adviser and all that? Well, you start thinking about who your next of kin is. Roll to the rope, look at that Bam, bam. And Apollo off the rope and bam, bam, down again. Now what is he thinking about, Rob? Saying his prayers, all right? How about the word upset? Anything can happen here in the WWF. It usually does. Bam, bam, off the rope again. And went a little high head hunting there on Phil Apollo. This guy can miss you and get you. Yeah, I suppose he can. Snap, man. Big bam, bam in control. Oh, my. Want to have your head turned around? So my imagination was the competition just keep getting better and better and better. What about Friar Ferguson? Why did they do last week? Bam, bam, take an exception to some of the remarks made from the ringside fans. Or was that you, Bartlett? Did he take a vow of anything, Friar Ferguson? I don't know, but bam, bam missing. Now, Apollo has an upper. Oh, are you kidding me? That's the way to counter a drop kick. I never thought of that. Yeah, but you can't very well do it unless you're bam, bam size. An awesome maneuver here by bam, bam Bigelow. Turned a defensive line into an offensive line. Bam, bam. And, oh, my. Who's the clown on the stands? Wait a minute, there is. Is that coming up? I believe. Is that Doink over in the far side? We can't see him very well. Yes. What's he doing here? Oh, look at that strength of the fans at ringside. Bam, bam Bigelow, meanwhile, on the inside, is having as much fun as Doink is on the outside. Apollo from a ride. What a ride it's been thus far. On the good news, there's only one Doink. So far. You're right about that. I'd like to stay positive as long as I can. Now, not a pretty face, not a pretty face. Is he just schizophrenic? I have no idea. I don't think he's schizophrenic. I have no idea, I don't think I want to know too much about Doink. We saw two Doinks at WrestleMania. It was not an illusion. David Copperfield is clever, but I don't believe he's quite that clever. Bam, bam. If he wasn't sitting here, I think it would be him maybe, Doink. Apollo hanging in the match. You have to hand it to Apollo. Hand it to him. Well, yeah. He's hanging in there against Big Rugged Bam Bam Bigelow, the beast from the east, Apollo, whipped to the far side. Here comes Bam Bam moving in. And this time, Apollo takes the full brunt of Bam Bam Bigelow. That was like a pin car collusion right there. But if you looked up brunt in the dictionary, you'd see Bam Bam's picture. Bam Bam with Apollo right where he wants him. And look at this, painful hold here. The official right there, if this is going to be a submission or could very well easily develop into a chokehold, doesn't matter. He's down to the canvas anyhow. That was strength and leverage at the same time, a dangerous combination. Very dangerous. Phil, Phil, listen to me, babe. Ooh, well done. See, just when you count Phil Apollo out, he's coming back. Right hand kick to the gut, oh my. Apollo's already a winner in my book, the longer this match goes. He's done the thing, against all odds. Hanging in there all the way against Bam Bam Bigelow. My, can you imagine the impact, snap on it. I think we could say goodbye right now. Yeah, right after that. No one's gonna get up after that. That was more raw than raw. No, well, I don't know. We may have to sit for the scraper to get Phil Apollo up after this. Bam Bam Bigelow going up, Bam Bam Bigelow going up to the top rope. Bam Bam now. Incoming. Unbelievable. And a count of three. Bam Bam. Here is your winner, Bam Bam Bigelow. That was scary. Bam Bam Bigelow victorious, let's take you back. Here we go. Here traffic control. Get out of the way, Apollo, you didn't do it. And that's the end of story. Wait a minute, let's cut back up here, wait a minute, I think he's gonna do it again. No. Bam Bam on the top rope. Apollo has hurt it, Bam Bam. That was not a replay, that was live. Now come on, what kinda competitor is this? Not only the winner, the sole survivor. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Friar Ferguson is, what's he doing coming up? Friar, you better bless this guy. We saw him last week. Friar Ferguson coming over to help out Mr. Apollo. And I think Bam Bam was gonna go up again. Or yet a third leap from the top. And Friar Ferguson is saying no. Ferguson with a rather auspicious debut last week. And now he's certainly not afraid to come out here. Wait a minute. Tell you what, I'm confused right now. I'll tell you the bottom line. I think Friar Ferguson means business. He's not afraid to mix it up with Bam Bam Bigelow. He's not afraid at all. Cut himself shaving this morning, but he's not afraid to mix it up with Bam Bam. That can happen to anybody. Low drop kick, look at that. Ha ha. Friar Ferguson, yes. And time for a little nip. Good job, Friar. Hey there, I'm Bart and I'm Billy. You know, me and my partner have been riding together for a lot of years. And we're fixing to ride into the WWF to face the good, the bad and the ugly. And you know, when it's all said and done, me and my partner, Bart, we're riding tall in the saddle. Yeah. From inside the pages of the WWF magazine, here's update. Hello everyone, I'm Gorilla Monsoon for Update. Brought to you by Coliseum Home Video. The WrestleMania 9 with all its action and excitement is now available. And don't forget, with Coliseum Home Video, you get all that exclusive, behind the scenes action and excitement. Get this folks, since entering the World Wrestling Federation, Lex Luger has literally knocked out every one of his opponents. What a devastating forearm. And at WrestleMania 9, not only did he knock out his opponent, Mr. Perfect, but earlier on in the day at a brunch, he knocked out then reigning WWF champion, Bret the Hitman Hart. Another factor that we should be concerned about later today, in the corner of Yokozuna, not other than Mr. Perfect. Hey, hey, oh my God. Following the events at WrestleMania 9, President Jack Tunney's office launched a complete investigation into the forearm of Lex Luger. The investigation consisted of a complete physical and x-rays of that forearm. Get this folks, the x-rays showed that Luger does indeed have a steel plate in the forearm area just below the elbow. This plate was surgically implanted following a motorcycle accident. Because it is considered to be part of his anatomy, Jack Tunney's office is now powerless to do anything about that implant, even though it gives an unfair advantage to Lex Luger. Here's what Luger had to say. Is it fair that I look the way I do and all of you look the way you do? And is it fair that this world famous elbow had a steel plate implanted into it after a motorcycle accident and Jack Tunney can't do anything about it? And is it fair that I knocked Bret the Hitman Hart out? At the WrestleMania brunch, he proceeded to lose his title. Well, maybe not, but you know, life just isn't fair. Unless, of course, you're the narcissist, Lex Luger. Obviously, Lex Luger very happy about the situation, but guys like Bret the Hitman Hart, folks, you can bet your bottom dollar are not. And he'll have a whole lot to say about this in the very near future. Nobody likes to be knocked out, especially by the likes of Lex Luger. For Update, this has been Gorilla Monsoon. Is he through? I'm done. I said what I said and I'm glad. You've talked so much, your tonsils need to be retreaded. Now, just sit over there and shut up. Well, this man is very, very impressive in the ring right now, Curtis Hughes. Mr. Hughes and there are many managers throughout the World Wrestling Federation who would like to have the opportunity to manage Curtis Hughes. And rightly so, this guy can make somebody a lot of money. Awesome individual. Standing by, so we are told now, is the manager of the 8-foot giant. Oh, Mr. Hughes, what a specimen. He reminds me a lot of myself. Tough, strong and not afraid of anything. Well, Mr. Hughes, of all the managers in the World Wrestling Federation, Whippleman can do the most for you. Do you agree with that much, old man? I'm not saying nothing about nothing for a couple of seconds. I'm trying to cool off, get calm. Well, if you always said what was on your mind, just be speechless anyway. I didn't even hear that. That's all right, Vince McMahon. I mean, what's going on here? Jack Toney, in my view, makes a lousy decision. Exactly. We've got Tataka with all kind of shenanigans going on back in the dressing room area. I mean, a King of the Ring tournament. What's going on here in the WWF? Guys trying to manage Mr. Hughes. Everybody wants to manage him. The King, Jerry Lawler, all that set up with his King of the Ring tournament. And you haven't heard the last of that yet either. But let's concentrate on Mr. Hughes a minute. You know, this guy is a former bodyguard. This guy was the original bodyguard to Whitney Houston. And then some thwimp came along and stole his party movie. Kevin Costner. They should have used Mr. Hughes. He was her bodyguard. As far as his athletic background is concerned, he's a former high school All-American. Right. Played four years on the defensive squad for Kansas State. A real university now, not like Michigan. At any event, he is a big bad ombre. No wonder managers throughout the WWF are taking a good long look at Curtis Hughes. Watch this. Take a good long look at this. Flash suplex. Big, strong, powerful, mean man. He means business in the squared circle and he's just not finished with his opponent at the moment. And I'll tell you what's not finished. That business between Bam Bam Bigelow and Tatanka. Why do you say it's not finished? You think Tatanka hasn't had enough? I think it's only beginning. However, this match is history. Which you might be able to say Bam Bam's career is going to be history. Oh no. I was so glad to see Bam Bam do that. This little bighorn gets you guys upset. Time to get a little revenge. Let's tuck you to the event center. Hey, Mr. Perfect. Next week, it's me and you. In a big, qualifying match for the king of the ring. And as you well know, I am on a roll. One thing I want to know. Do you have perfect vision? Or will you have no vision? Doink, don't concern yourself with my vision because next week right here, the winner of this match qualifies for the king of the ring tournament. The only thing you have to be concerned about, Doink, is how you're going to get around Mr. Perfect. Welcome back, everyone, to WWF Wrestling Challenge, this will be an outstanding contest, with Blake Beverly taking on one of your former prodigies, the former associate, Mr. Perfect. Yeah, the backstabber. Well, he's going to find out what both Blake or the Beverly's are made of. That's Blake, right? That's Blake Beverly, right. Well, Bo may be around, you never know. And this, of course, is Mr. Perfect. Well, I know one thing, he is excited about next weekend because of WWF superstars, Mr. Perfect will take on Doink the Clown in a qualifying match for the king of the ring tournament. Well, I suggest Mr. Perfect stays home during that match because he's not going to defeat Doink. Doink really knows how to wrestle. Men against soda is perfect, but I think Doink's got the edge here. And Blake Beverly getting the early advantage on Mr. Perfect attacking him. You know that old saying, you win by the towel, you die by the towel. Well, he's choking him with it, that's for sure, right here. And almost an airplane spin using the towel for leverage. Very good. Very good, Blake. Excellent. Hard form to the back of the head. Blake Beverly follows it with a headbutt and down goes Mr. Perfect. Double ax handle to the spine and Blake Beverly showing a tremendous amount of offense here in the early going as Mr. Perfect having a hard time getting out of the blocks. You know what I'm concerned with is Blake and Bo Beverly are a tag team. They've been together all their lives, actually, but they've wrestled together all their lives. I don't know how many single matches he's had, but this should be interesting. The Irish whip to the center of the ropes is reversed and tremendous shoulder block by Mr. Perfect. Perfect has a full agenda these days, certainly has a score to settle with Shawn Michaels as being a former two-time Intercontinental Champion. I'm sure that Perfect would love the opportunity to regain that championship once again. And you know with Perfect's ego, he wants that title, he wants the money, he wants the prestige, but above all that, he would just love to stick it to Shawn Michaels and walk around with Shawn Michaels Intercontinental belt on. Great dropkick by Mr. Perfect and Blake Beverly goes all the way outside. You know, you can't take it away from him. Uh-oh, here comes Bo. Bo Beverly in the ring, trying to cheap-shot there, and he's celebrating for his trouble. Now, is that Bo or Blake? Bo Beverly goes outside. Well, wait a minute, I don't understand what's going on here now. Well, it's pretty obvious Bo Beverly tried to interfere to backfire it on him. It didn't work. Bo! Face first goes Blake Beverly. You know, like I was going to say, you can't take it away from Perfect. The man is a tremendous athlete. Second generation, he knows almost everything there is to know and how to survive in that ring. But without me, that mind just doesn't work. That's what makes him perfect when I was with him. Well, the referee I think may be sending Bo Beverly back to the locker room. Well, he's got a right to be there. How do you figure that? He's not a manager. Well, he's his other brother. He doesn't have a manager's license. He doesn't have to. He's his other brother. Well, I don't know about that. Whoa. Oh, man. Blake Beverly drops Mr. Perfect, and there goes Bo back to the showers. I imagine he'll be finding some money for that. I think that would be appropriate. Neck breaker. Come on, Blake, cover him. Get on him. Two, six, seven, eight, nine. See, you can't waste time like that with Mr. Perfect. He'll snap it right away from you. He is very resilient, as we all know. Irish whip. But he's an ingrate. Avoids the clothesline. The cross body. And got a near fall there. Two count. Beverly back up very quickly. Trying to regain the advantage here. A stomp right to the abdomen. You own a pickup truck? You better believe it. Why? I like a truck. What's wrong with a truck? What do you drive? I have a chauffer. I don't drive. Excuse me. Her name's Jennifer. Blake Beverly now has reasserted himself offensively here. He's controlling the tempo. Try to drive some time from the back seat. It's not easy. You can't do that in the pickup truck. Well, you got a point there. You're right. I guess just move the hay over, huh? I can't afford to show you. Beverly trying to go for a suplex. But it's a good move there by Mr. Perfect. He hooked the front face lock in and reversed the suplex from Blake Beverly. Zena, I would have told him to go right for the super, I mean the perfect flex. But he didn't. Hard forward to the lower back. We know that Mr. Perfect has had some problems with his back in years past. No, no, no, no. I've had trouble with my back. That's where they found the knife that Perfect put in it. Well, I think your version of your association with Mr. Perfect is certainly exclusive to you. That's not how I hear the story. Yeah, but you're hearing it from a liar. You can believe me, Ross. I'm not going to lie to you, pal. I'm your buddy. You know that. Yeah, oh, sure. I really know that by now. I've been a few weeks with you. Another kick to the midsection. Knee lift, knee lift. Blake Beverly has looked very impressive offensively here. Catches Perfect with a knife edge shot. Nail him again, nail him again. And even though Perfect... Zena, I think he's wasting time. You've got to stay on Perfect. You can't give him...uh-oh. And Perfect blocks the right hand, cuts back, a little right of his arm, and a big chop, and down goes Blake Beverly. Here comes the Irish whip, it's reversed. And Perfect... Oh, he's got it! He hooks that. Can he get him? Yes, he got the corner press. He's got the lift. Get out of the way! And the hand slam gets over. Tremendous offensive move by Mr. Perfect. Shawn Michaels, best beware. I'm sure he hooked the tights. I'm sure he did. He got his hands hooked. A victory for Mr. Perfect. And now, ladies and gentlemen, let's go to the Event Center. Ladies and gentlemen, my guest this week is the most menacing force ever to enter the World Wrestling Federation. He is the Narcissist, Lex Luger! I love his music. I love his entrance. Is he proud of himself? Oh, yeah. He's arrogant. Does he love himself? I've seen it. Oh, he does. You're exactly right. He only has the right to. Well, he's also walking around with a steel plate in his right forearm. And that's certainly going to give him an advantage over anyone that he competes with. He ought to have some type of brace or something. He ought to be made to wear some type of padding on that right forearm. Quit making excuses. He's jealous. He's so happy that he's in front of a mirror. And you notice? He'll conduct the interview when he's ready. I'm going to have to wait. Eat your heart out, Toots. Well, he is an awesome athlete and obviously has a phenomenal physique, but his attitude is pathetic. All right, Lex Luger, you have been knocking out opponents left and right with that... Excuse me, make yourself useful just for one moment, and here. Hold this while I admire myself. He knows what he likes. As I was saying, you have been knocking everybody out with that surgically implanted steel plate in your forearm. Why? Why you have accumulated more knockouts than Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, George Foreman, and Mike Tyson combined. It is unanimous with everyone that you have an unfair advantage over everybody else here in the World Wrestling Federation. Did I say unfair? Unfair? Is it fair that each and every day of my life I have to look out at people like this, the genetically shortchanged... You know who I'm talking about. You fat, disgusting people with muscles and globs of fat hanging from your waist. You know what I'm talking about. All you fat, disgusting, cellulite-ridden women with cottage cheese hanging off the back of your legs. All you short people, all you skinny nothing-happening geeks in the gym seven days a week, three hours a day, to try to look like me, but you never will. And is it fair? No, wait a second. And speaking of being disgusted, Bret Hart, you totally disgust me because I was disgusted with you when at the WrestleMania brunch I knocked you unconscious and you laid at my feet in a curled-up fetal position. And I said to myself, is this the World Wrestling Federation heavyweight champion laying here unconscious? And is it fair, Bret Hart, that because of me, you are no longer the World Wrestling Federation heavyweight champion? And you know, as disgusting as it is for all of you to look in the mirror every day, I relish it. And, Bret, the Hitman Hart, I know that you're disgusted when you look in the mirror because you know that your days are numbered because when you step into the ring with the narcissist Lex Luger, your career will be terminated. Give me that back. Well, I, for one, can't wait to see Luger and Bret Hart. I think he's gonna pay for everything he just said when he takes on the Hitman. Fans will be back with more body. Disgust me. Well, in my opinion, I... Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Lex Luger and I are in a match to qualify for the King of the Ring tournament. And, Lex Luger, I know you very well. You've worked hard all your life. You're very strong, you're very determined, and you like yourself tremendously. We're gonna get into that ring and see who comes out victorious. Mr. Backlund, I have to agree with you. I am incredible, but tell me something I don't already know. But being the likable sort of fellow that you are, I'm gonna make it as quick and painless as possible for you next week. Can you imagine them making me qualify? That's pathetic. Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time, the reigning Intercontinental Champion, would you please welcome Shawn Michaels. There he is. Self-proclaimed the Heartbreak Kid. Here's looking at you, Shawn Michaels. You know, Savage, he may be the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time. I like when you say the word, made. I think Mr. Perfect was bottom line. Well, you're wrong. You're wrong about that. Heartbreak Kid, yeah. He's coming back at you, pal. Mr. Michaels, if we'd have your attention, please. There's no doubt that sooner or later, your path is gonna cross that of Mr. Perfect. But we'll talk about that in just a moment. Right here next week, you defending the Intercontinental Championship against Hacksaw Jim Duckett. What possesses you to put the title on the line knowing that Mr. Perfect is breathing down your neck? First of all, I want to tell you how sick and tired I am of having to come to this dump, New York City. I mean, this place is like the armpit of the nation. Now, even my armpit isn't that bad. You know, hey. You know, I saw those same two guys on TV doing some kind of march in Washington. Huh? Way to go, guys. Anyway... Amazing that you would come out here and insult these wonderful fans in New York and all over the world that stand behind many of the superstars in the WWF. I guess maybe you're just not worthy of that. You know, you see this, Vin Man? This is the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental title. I don't need anybody to stand behind me. I got this on my own. And speaking of Hacksaw Jim Duckett, the man who doesn't know if he's coming or going... Shorty's name! Shorty's name! Shorty's name! Huh. You only knew. Shorty's name! Now, shark Mr. Michaels in. Duggan, you must know who he is. Shawn Michaels is an equal opportunity defender. It doesn't matter if you're short, fat, big, or tall, or in your case, ugly as the day is long. What they're doing is just shouting, Shawn is great. And you will get short. How can you ignore this capacity crowd? Listen to them. How can you ignore them? These people mean absolutely nothing to me. I'm sweating. I don't have time in my life for a bunch of losers like these idiots. All right, let's talk about Mr. Perfect. Let's talk about sort of the collision course there that you had with Mr. Perfect at WrestleMania. You will recall you and the narcissist Lex Luger were behind the locker room area outside, actually, and congratulating each other. I believe in them. But there was a little problem, wasn't there? Mr. Perfect. What a cheap shot. And there's a time by Michaels. You mean Grover. Grover. You mean Mr. Grover? The guy that lives in the trash can on Sesame Street? The guy that I put in the trash can? Mr. Perfect. Mr. Perfect, I got news for you. Perfect, you are gonna stay right. Uh-oh. Hey, I like it. That's right. We're gonna have some fun now, Savage. He's in trouble now here. Oh, you were right. Perfect is in trouble. McMahon bailing out. Perfect situation where Shawn Michaels doesn't want any part. Oh, Mr. Perfect. Everybody behind Perfect right now, Brain. Ooh, a cheap shot. Look at that. Get him, Perfect. Get him. Grover going after Shawn Michaels. We'll be right back.
