00:06And it will be the final payment for the corporation.
00:10IRS, tonight I have a chance that every man in America wants to do.
00:17And that's beat up the tax man.
00:20And tonight, you're not exempt.
00:22And I will go through each and every one of your million dollar corporation,
00:26Ted DiBiase.
00:27Cuz I am the beast from the east.
00:30["The Beast From The East"]
00:40["The Beast From The East"]
00:50It's the day after the WWF has been in your house.
00:59Yes, we are live, ladies and gentlemen.
01:02We're live from Binghamton, New York.
01:04From the Broome County Memorial Arena.
01:09For Monday Night Raw.
01:14Hey everyone, welcome to Monday Night Raw.
01:17I'm Vince McMahon along with Jerry The King Lawler.
01:19Look at the kisser on Lawler, can you believe it?
01:22He actually defeated Bret Hart last night.
01:25That's right, McMahon.
01:26I did exactly what I told the world I was gonna do on Mother's Day.
01:30It was the mother of all matches.
01:33And my mother was at ringside.
01:35See, I had the guts to do what The Hitman didn't do.
01:38He dedicated the match to his wrinkled up, prude-faced mother.
01:41But he didn't bring her.
01:42I brought my mother in your house.
01:45And right there, with her looking on, I made her so
01:48proud as I beat The Hitman.
01:50And I did it all by myself.
01:53Our buy-in tonight will be Bob Bacon, who makes his very special announcement.
01:57Long-awaited announcement, I might add.
01:59And of course, ladies and gentlemen,
02:01we're gonna have a qualifying match-up for the King of the Ring.
02:05Yes, it's the speedster, Bob Sparkplug Holly, one-on-one with Mantar.
02:11But right now, here comes Yokozuna.
02:13Here comes Owen Hart.
02:15This tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
02:22That's to the ring by James E.
02:26Cornette and Mr. Fruity, and a total combined weight of 795 pounds.
02:33World Wrestling Federation- Yes, and talk about a victory in your house last night.
02:38Yokozuna and Owen Hart eking out a victory over the former
02:44WWF Tag Team Champions, The Smoking Gun.
02:47A tremendous match-up and a controversial match-up indeed.
02:51A great deal of controversy occurring last night in your house.
02:55Anything can happen.
02:56And Jim Cornette along with Owen Hart.
03:01There he is, come in, and Owen Hart- Jerry Lawler being congratulated by-
03:06Did you hear that, McMahon?
03:14Thank you very much.
03:15Let's see you guys in action.
03:16Thanks, Owen.
03:18Congratulations from Owen Hart.
03:23Owen Hart will congratulate anyone who defeated his brother.
03:27Yeah, just so happens I'm the only one that's done it.
03:30And you did it all by yourself, right?
03:32All by myself, McMahon.
03:34Well, of course, I will have to give credit to my beautiful mother.
03:37You thought she was beautiful, didn't you, huh?
03:39Now you know where I get my good looks, McMahon.
03:42That's unbelievable.
03:43She was the wind beneath my wings last night.
03:46The wind?
03:49I wanna say hi to my mom.
03:50Hi, Mom.
03:51Hi, Mom.
03:52Thanks.
03:55Jerry Lawler, ladies and gentlemen, beside himself.
03:58You are the biggest joke I've ever seen in my life.
04:00No, no, no, I'm sitting next to the biggest joke.
04:03Hey, I mean- He's talking to you, McMahon.
04:05See what happens when a fetus don't get enough oxygen, huh?
04:08Bret Hart, Bret Hart, ladies and gentlemen.
04:13We asked him to come on the program here tonight.
04:16And Bret was in somewhat of a dejected state.
04:20Bret Hart obviously, I believe, embarrassed.
04:23He was humiliated, McMahon.
04:25He had dedicated that match to his mother, old Helen Hart.
04:28She was all ready to celebrate.
04:30She had already ordered a martini with a prune in it, but
04:33she didn't get to have that victory drink.
04:36Nick Barbary, shoved down to the canvas by Mighty Yokozuna.
04:40Wow, take a look at Yokozuna, he is fantastic.
04:45And look at this, Barbary and Weaver, his partner, both.
04:49Look at this, and here they go again.
04:52A double clothesline attempt.
04:53My goodness, that's the way you do it.
04:55That is the way you do it.
04:56Nick Barbary and his tag team partner Bill Weaver against the WWF Tag Team Champion.
05:04Non-title matchup, Owen Hart in the ring at the moment.
05:08Owen Hart going to work on Bill Weaver.
05:11And Owen told me beforehand all they had to do was ask.
05:13They would have made this a title match.
05:15Sure, I'll tell you the Allied Powers certainly looking forward to their
05:19opportunity, the British Bulldog.
05:22Lex Luger, ladies and gentlemen,
05:23looking forward to the opportunity of facing Owen Hart.
05:25Look at that foot over.
05:26And Yokozuna.
05:28And then again, the Smoking Guns legitimately would like very much
05:32to have yet another shot at the tag team title holders.
05:37That's what they'd get right there.
05:39They would think they got kicked by their horse, Old Pete, right in the face.
05:44Owen Hart, working on Nick Barbary.
05:52Put the pressure on him, Owen.
05:54Again, ladies and gentlemen, if you watched last night,
05:58the first ever WWF In Your House, you were shocked.
06:02You were shocked to see Jerry The King Lawler with his hand raised in
06:06a token of victory over the Hitman Bret Hart.
06:10Why was everybody so shocked?
06:11I don't think anyone can believe that, but it actually happened.
06:14And least of all, the Hitman Bret Hart.
06:16No, he couldn't believe it.
06:17And least of all, Helen, I wonder where she was sitting.
06:20I would have loved to seen the look on her face.
06:22But instead, I got to gaze into the beautiful eyes of my mother.
06:25She was so proud, McMahon.
06:26That was the greatest Mother's Day gift I could have ever given her,
06:30other than myself.
06:31That was your mom, other than yourself.
06:33Well, you know, when I was born, that was her greatest gift.
06:35That's a gift of a lifetime for her.
06:38Yokozuna tagged in.
06:40Yokozuna, look at this.
06:44Yoko over the 600-pound mark.
06:48He continues to grow.
06:49And a two-time World Wrestling Federation champion, watch this.
06:55I don't fucking care about it.
06:58Bill Weaver is pummeled to the canvas.
07:01The winners of the match.
07:07And Jim Cornett, very, very pleased.
07:09The King of Hearts, Owen Hart, and Yokozuna.
07:13Yokozuna, see, I'm not like some people.
07:16I harbor no animosity towards the Japanese.
07:20Matter of fact, when I go in hearts to rent a car, I always ask for a Toyota or
07:24a Japanese car.
07:27Sure you do.
07:28I do.
07:29Yokozuna and Owen Hart, ladies and gentlemen.
07:34Victoria's here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
07:37Hey, McMahon.
07:37Yeah. I got a great idea.
07:39I do, too.
07:40Let's just take a look at what I did last night.
07:42It doesn't do it justice to just talk about it.
07:45Come on.
07:45All right, there you see it, ladies and gentlemen.
07:47There you go.
07:47The King Lawler with his mom.
07:49Can you believe that's his mother?
07:51A beautiful mom on TV.
07:53Hi, mom.
07:54And then she gave me the kiss, the good luck kiss right before the match.
07:58And that just propelled me right on to victory.
08:01Right on to victory.
08:02What a matchup it was, ladies and gentlemen.
08:04Hey, look at that, look at that.
08:04There's that sneak, that double deal in low down.
08:09He tried to fool me, tried to trick me, tried to tell everybody his knee was hurt.
08:12And he did fool you.
08:13And indeed, there you see, ladies and gentlemen, watch.
08:15They've got that picture upside down.
08:18Turn the picture right.
08:18No, they don't, because the Hitman was taking it to Jerry, the King Lawler,
08:22pretty much all the way through the matchup until there you saw the official,
08:25who was shooing Shinji away.
08:27He caught his leg, looking to right, could not see what was going on in the ring.
08:31What was going on with me beating Bret Hart?
08:32In fact, look at that.
08:34That's nothing.
08:35I thought, well, Bret Hart is a hated man.
08:38And I don't know what happened there.
08:40Some more tricks.
08:41But there it is.
08:42There's the pin, McMahon.
08:43I rolled him up.
08:44I hooked his legs.
08:45One, two, three, and it was all over for Bret, the Hitman Hart.
08:50It was so great.
08:51And then look, after the match, he sat there crying.
08:54Those tears, let me show you on the Royal Magistrator.
08:56Tears were coming down.
08:58And then he had to put the ice back on his head, McMahon, because he was hit.
09:03Look at that.
09:05Cry the tears.
09:06Thanks to Akushi, and thanks to Shinji.
09:09And the official, ladies and gentlemen, having a great deal of difficulty
09:12with his foot locked in that bottom rope.
09:15Well, what can you say?
09:16It was a victory.
09:17I won.
09:18We attempted to try and reach the Hitman Bret Hart earlier on.
09:21Unable to do so.
09:22Nonetheless, certainly there right on the spot, as he always is,
09:26Jim Ross, who filed this report, ladies and gentlemen, on the WWF Superstar line.
09:31A brief one attempting to garner an interview with the Hitman Bret Hart.
09:35The number to dial is 1-900-451-3332 in Canada,
09:41as well as here in the United States, 1-900-737-4WWF.
09:46Remember, it's $1.49 per minute here in the States.
09:48And you must be 18 years of age to call or have your parent's permission.
09:53I want to call right now and
09:54see what kind of excuse that spineless Bret Hart has.
09:57That's option six, but still a comment, ladies and gentlemen.
10:00Bob Backlund and his very special announcement.
10:03What will he announce first?
10:05Bam Bam versus IRS.
10:07Stay tuned for more Monday Night Raw.
10:10Update on human species destruct order for planet known as Earth.
10:18Proceed.

10:23What else?
10:23Further destruction of their environment continues with many species extinct already.
10:27Protective ozone layer partially destroyed.
10:29Any reason to spare them?
10:30Only this data tape, an organization with a devoted following,
10:33known as the World Wrestling Federation, it shows promise.
10:36Maybe there's hope for these humans.
10:38Delay their destruction 100 solar cycles.
10:41The World Wrestling Federation.
10:44You never know.
10:45We might be saving the world.

11:40All right, we're back.
11:41Yes, Man Mountain Rock getting ready to lock up with Iron Mike Sharpe.
11:45Is all that noise over McMahon?
11:47What do you mean all that noise?
11:48I hear another noise, do you hear it?
11:50What noise is that?
11:51I think it's the sound of Jimi Hendrix turning over in his grave.
11:54Wow.
11:58Man Mountain Rock, a little different you might say, a little on the eccentric side.
12:03Man Mountain Rock getting ready to lock up with the veteran Iron Mike Sharp.
12:07By the way, ladies and gentlemen, at the conclusion of this matchup,
12:09we will take you back to last night.
12:11And show you what happened when a young man who was 11 years old won a house.
12:17Mike Sharp now.
12:19Colliding with Man Mountain Rock, and you have to question the wisdom of
12:24Iron Mike Sharp.
12:25You're not gonna knock the Man Mountain off his feet, or get him up there.
12:29I got two words for Man Mountain Rock.
12:30What's that?
12:31Jenny Craig.
12:32Jenny, ha, ha, ha.
12:33The universe is expanding, and so is the, who are those aliens?
12:37Aliens?
12:38Yeah, why don't you loan them one of your toupees?
12:39Whoa!
12:41I beg your pardon.
12:42It's not getting personal tonight.
12:44I was gonna- And Man Mountain Rock, drop the elbow.
12:48By the way, Indy's back.

13:14That's what it was last night, and in your house.
13:18The hitman Hart was doomed.
13:20Come on, let's keep talking about it.
13:22I wanna keep talking about it, it was great.
13:25Well, a lot of great things happened last night in your houses, and
13:27again, some not so great.

14:27What a Mother's Day present.
14:28They're calling my number.
14:30All right, let's hope they're home.
14:33We told you to be by your phone.
14:34Yeah.
14:35Please check the number.
14:36We got a dial again.
14:39Don't you hate when you get that annoying operator?
14:41All right, that's all right.
14:43Try it again.
14:44We're gonna do it.
14:45I hope my mother-in-law's on the line.
14:48Your mother-in-law's on the line?
14:49I hope not.
14:50I'm ready to tee off.
14:54Okay.
14:55All right, here we go, here we go.
14:56I'll try it again.
14:58It's ringing.
14:58Yeah, it's ringing.
15:00Your phone ringing right now?
15:02Here it is.
15:03Hello?
15:04Hello.
15:04Hi, is Matt Pompasilli home?
15:08Yes, yeah, I'm here.
15:11Can I talk to Matt, please?
15:12Turn the sound off, turn the sound off.
15:14Is this Matt?
15:15Are you watching right now?
15:17You win the house!
15:23What an extraordinary moment, ladies and gentlemen.
15:25Only in America and only in the World Wrestling Federation
15:28can an 11-year-old young man win a house in Florida.
15:32Unbelievable.
15:33Gotta be the happiest person in the world.
15:35Next to my mother.
15:37Next to your mom.
15:38Sixth grader goes to Greenspun Junior High School,
15:41ladies and gentlemen.
15:42As a matter of fact, his favorite wrestler
15:44happens to be Shawn Michaels.
15:47And Shawn Michaels will return here next week
15:50on Monday Night Raw against King Kong Bundy.
15:55More on that later on.
15:56However, let's talk some more about last night, if we may.
15:59Let's talk about the matchup.
16:00Yes, it involved Double J, Jeff Jarrett, and the roadie.
16:03A handicap matchup as they squared off
16:06against the bad guy, Razor Ramon.
16:09I couldn't believe that Ramon was stupid enough
16:11to take on two individuals at once.
16:13And yes, there you see it, ladies and gentlemen.
16:15The Razor's Edge applied on Double J.
16:17But that wasn't all.
16:18That was indeed the conclusion.
16:19You see from behind, there it is.
16:21The roadie there to the left attacking Razor
16:23and taking that knee out once again
16:25after the match was officially over.
16:27They continued to pummel, continued
16:30to hammer with a figure four leg lock.
16:32Both men all over Razor after the match was over.
16:35Unrelenting until that individual,
16:38we didn't know who he was, came into the ring.
16:40And boy, did he ever cut loose.
16:42Where did he come from?
16:43Out of the audience.
16:44He had no business in there.
16:45Look at this.
16:46This individual, ladies and gentlemen,
16:48we know now as Savio Vega took care of the roadie.
16:51Did he ever.
16:52And then from there, took care of Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
16:57Yeah.
16:58And then from there, hopefully, yeah,
16:59he was arrested, wasn't he?
17:01Well, he was taken out by the police.
17:02No one had any idea who he was or what he was doing there.
17:07He's in the big house now.
17:08He went from in your house to the big house.
17:10He is standing by as we speak.
17:12Savio, can you hear us?
17:13Yes, I have seen.
17:14Yo estoy aqui ahora en la Federacion Mundial de Lucha
17:17y vengo a dar lo mejor de Savio Vega.
17:19Hey, hey, English.
17:20Ahora la gente sabe quien soy yo, Savio Vega.
17:22Asà que voy a tener lo mejor aqui en la WWE.
17:24Savio, Savio, calm down, calm down.
17:27You against, well, you're there protecting Razor Ramon.
17:31Why?
17:32Where'd you come from?
17:33Well, first of all, I feel, you know,
17:35I say sorry to the people because I know just to be,
17:39do that what I do last night in your house.
17:41But they try, you know, help my friend Razor Ramon.
17:45You know, that's not ever going to happen with my friends.
17:47And even with Savio Vega, you know,
17:49last night in your house they tried the Double J and the Roddy.
17:53Help my friend Razor Ramon.
17:54No, never going to happen that in the WWF and nowhere.
17:58I know Razor for a long time.
17:59Asà que ni Double J, ni Roddy van a tratar de lastimar a mis amigos.
18:03Porque yo soy, vengo de Puerto Rico, y no voy a lastimar a nadie.
18:07Savio, thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, Savio Vega.
18:11Nadie va a lastimar a mis amigos.
18:13Oh, boy, he's wound up all right.
18:15Why don't you ask him how he got named after a car?
18:18Savio?
18:19I've never heard of a Savio before.
18:20A Vega.
18:21Bam Bam Bigelow against IRS.
18:24Stay with us, he's warming up.
18:25We'll be back.
18:30Welcome back, everyone, to our Monday Night Raw.
18:32We are awaiting, yes, the King of the Ring qualifying matchup.
18:35However, joining us right now is one Barry the Dinky.

19:15Oh, my.
19:16This is Bret Hart.
19:17It's also available.
19:18But, Jerry, where's your T-shirt?
19:21Well, I don't know where it is.
19:23Let me say this, Barry.
19:25I want you to get the name and address of every person
19:27that orders a Bret the Hitman Hart shirt,
19:29because I'll personally go to their house
19:31and slap the taste out of their mouth.
19:32How would they like that?
19:34Oh, you're so brave.
19:36Yes, indeed, ladies and gentlemen.
19:37Last night, during In Your House,
19:40Mabel qualified in the first King of the Ring qualifying matchup.
19:45Mabel with a victory of sorts over Adam Bomb.
19:48Victory of sorts?
19:49Let's watch the match.
19:50Come on, Moe and Mabel.
19:52Here we go now.
19:54Gentlemen, start your engines.
19:56Here we go.
19:57Weighing 230 pounds, Bob Sparkplug Holley.
20:06Bob Sparkplug Holley against Manstar.
20:09And one of these two individuals will advance just as Mabel did last night.
20:12Without saying goodbye, Mabel and Moe attacking Adam Bomb
20:16before the match actually began.
20:19Obviously, as a result of that, Adam Bomb was a little under the weather, so to speak.
20:24This, of course, a qualifying matchup,
20:27just as the Adam Bomb-Mabel match was last night during In Your House.
20:31Well, it shows you, McMahon, that anybody in the World Wrestling Federation
20:34will go to any length to become a king.
20:36Everybody wants to be the King of the Ring.
20:4015-minute time limit.
20:43And you can win in any manner, ladies and gentlemen.
20:46Count out this qualification.
20:48Of course, a pin, it doesn't matter.
20:50You only have to be on your P's and Q's.
20:53Oh, my!
20:57That'll shake him up a little bit.
21:02Yes, everyone wants to be the WWF King of the Ring.
21:08And at the conclusion of this matchup,
21:10we will be giving you some ticket information.
21:12Look at that.
21:14Whoa!
21:15Big, powerful Mantar.
21:17401 pounds of him, McMahon.
21:20He's impressive.
21:21Imagine if Mantar wins this and then is seated against Mabel.
21:26Who knows?
21:27That would be a clash.
21:29I'd like to see those two guys just ram head-on into each other.
21:32Taking a ram head-on.
21:34That reminds me of Bob Holly's driving.
21:38Dropkick by Bob Holly, nicely done.
21:40Mantar receiving it with another dropkick.
21:42Bob Holly has to do something to get the big man down.
21:45Mantar to the bucket.
21:46Oh, and no!
21:47Look at that.
21:48Mantar off the ropes, stepping over Holly from the far side.
21:51Leapfrog by Bob Holly, right back in.
21:53Look at this.
21:54Bob Holly from behind, trying to spin around.
21:56Uh-oh, bad news.
21:58Uh-oh.
21:59What a slam.
22:00I think Holly was gonna try to slam Mantar.
22:02That would have been a big mistake anyway.
22:05Mantar manhandling Bob Holly thus far.
22:10And this is not good news for the Speecher either.
22:14That could be it right there.
22:16A count!
22:17I've covered it!
22:18No.
22:20Mabel, the first man to qualify in the WWF King of the Ring Tournament.
22:25Which, by the way, will head to Philadelphia, ladies and gentlemen.
22:28Where the King of the Ring Tournament will actually be held.
22:31The Philadelphia Core State Spectrum.
22:34Come on, McMahon.
22:35Tell me one more.
22:36I saw you giving my mom the eye last night.
22:39Whoa!
22:41Couldn't admit it.
22:42Can't believe that was your mother.
22:44Oh, man.
22:45You wore a special toupee just to try to impress her.
22:48It looked more real than the last one.
22:50That chin strap was a dead giveaway on that last one.
22:53Come on, Holly.
22:54Give it up.
22:55You still got a chance.
22:58What was that?
22:59Holly gave up.
23:00No, he didn't.
23:03Bob Holly.
23:04Oh, my.
23:06I think he wants to give up.
23:08I don't think so.
23:09Bob Holly, a tremendous competitor.
23:11Whether it's on the racetrack or in the ring,
23:13Bob Holly will not give up.
23:19Bob Holly.
23:21Back in the corner.
23:25A lot of force behind those bones right there, McMahon.
23:28401 pounds behind him.
23:29Big, powerful ombre for sure.
23:35Off the ropes.
23:36That's it.
23:37Good.
23:40Again, congratulations to Matt Papaselli.
23:43Last night's In Your House winner.
23:46Congratulations to his parents, Lou and Sue.
23:50Originally from New York City, from Queens.
23:53Moved out to the Las Vegas area about four years ago.
23:56Imagine that.
23:57Now they're going to be moving to Orlando.
23:59Yes.
24:00Oh, no.
24:02Tupac Mantar
24:05is a monster here tonight on Raw.
24:07Two in.
24:08No.
24:09Not much of a cover there at all.
24:10That's a mistake by Mantar there.
24:11If he'd have just put that 401 pounds on him,
24:13he'd have had to match then.
24:19Mantar all over Bob Sparkplug Holly.
24:22And what's going to happen next week
24:23when Shawn Michaels makes his return?
24:25Shawn Michaels.
24:28Oh, my goodness.
24:29Against King Kong Bundy.
24:31What is going on?
24:33Well, we're looking at Mantar at 401 pounds.
24:36Bundy's a lot more than that.
24:40I don't know what Shawn Michaels is thinking.
24:43The Heartbreak Kid apparently actually challenged Sid.
24:47The Heartbreak Kid wanted to get his paws on Sid next week.
24:51However, Ted DiBiase,
24:54instead of Sid sending King Kong Bundy into the fray,
24:58you have to wonder what's going to happen
25:00when Michaels returns.
25:02That shows you that the Million Dollar Man has compassion.
25:05What?
25:06Compassion.
25:08Cover.
25:09One, two, three.
25:10Oh, so very close.
25:15Bob Holly, who obviously is the underdog in this matchup,
25:18as was Razor Ramon last night in the Handicap Match,
25:22but Razor somehow pulled it out.
25:24Can Bob Holly do the same here tonight on Monday Night Raw?
25:28No.
25:29Bob Holly with a clothesline.
25:30Come on, Mantar.
25:31He's trying to get the big man down, and he does.
25:33No, he doesn't.
25:34Off the rope.
25:35Holly charging.
25:37Repeatedly now, Mantar.
25:38Bob Holly going to the outside.
25:40High-risk maneuver for someone like Bob Holly.
25:43Without Mantar catching.
25:45From the top and a drop.
25:46And he makes it down.
25:48Uncover.
25:49Uncover.
25:50No.
25:51Oh, no.
25:52So close.
25:53So very close.
25:54Holly to the outside again.
25:56Holly, you had some success earlier.
25:58Holly now on the top rope once again.
26:00Bob Holly.
26:01High body crash.
26:03Trying to get him.
26:04Two.
26:05He got it.
26:06He got it.
26:07The winner of the match, Bob Purple Holly.
26:13Can't believe it.
26:15Bob Holly has qualified.
26:17Bob Holly is headed to the king of the ring.
26:20Oh, Bob's mad.
26:21All right.
26:22Give it up for the Streetster.
26:24Bob Holly has a chance to become a king.
26:27Unbelievable.
26:28Anything can happen in the WWF.
26:30You're living proof of that last night.
26:32Hey, watch it.
26:33By the way, ladies and gentlemen, there you see the information we said we'd give you earlier on.
26:37Yes.
26:38Information.
26:39Think of the information that is if you want to participate live at the Core State Spectrum.
26:49All right.
26:50Stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen, for more WWF action.
26:53And right now, here comes Shawn Michaels.
26:55Shawn Michaels.
26:57He's cocky.
26:58He's charismatic.
27:00He is the heartbreak kid.
27:03But Ted DiBiase set him up.
27:05I give you Sid.
27:08And Psycho Sid knocked him down and out.
27:12Now he's back and taking on a member of Ted's corrupt corporation, King Kong Bundy.
27:21The Million Dollar Man's largest asset is out to prove that messing with the corporation is risky business.
27:29Shawn Michaels returns and battles Bundy next week on Monday Night Raw.
27:36What a matchup that's going to be, ladies and gentlemen.
27:38Michaels against Bundy.
27:40However, talk about making some noise when we return.
27:44Joining us will be the two-time former WWF champion, Bob Backlund, and his big, big announcement.
27:50Stay tuned.
27:54Tonight, Monday Night Raw is brought to you by Navy Roof.
27:59This baby gets you going.
28:03Ladies and gentlemen, would you please welcome the former two-time WWF champion, Mr. Bob Backlund.
28:13Well, Mr. Backlund, this is your opportunity.
28:27For weeks now, you've been talking about some big, big announcement.
28:33What is it?
28:36You know, it's going to have a deleterious effect on a lot of you people out there.
28:41My announcement is going to hurt your feelings.
28:45Some of you people are going to be very juvial by what I say.
28:50But in the Hartford Civic Center on April 2nd of 1995, I saw a scintillation.
28:58It was a minute ray at that time and threw out the match with your hitman.
29:05It grew and it was ionized over the whole roof of the Hartford Civic Center.
29:11You got that, ladies and gentlemen?
29:14All right, Mr. Backlund, for the benefit of the rest of us who are on this planet,
29:19if you don't mind, what is it?
29:24Why did you come here?
29:25What is the big announcement?
29:27You know, there's a lot of things that have happened in my life that have been wonderful.
29:34They've been great.
29:35And there's a lot of things that happened in the whole world that have mesmerized all of you people.
29:42Like in 1776, D.C., when the Olympics started.
29:49Like in 323, D.C., when Alexander the Great died.
29:56Or like in July 4th of 1776, when the United States declared their independence.
30:06Or like in 1912, when the Titanic sank.
30:15Mr. Backlund, please.
30:16Or like on December 22nd of 1983, when John F. Kennedy was shot in Dallas, Texas.
30:27All right, Mr. Backlund, again.
30:29Or like in July of 1969, when Armstrong stepped foot on the moon.
30:41You know how serious that is?
30:44Those are historical moments indeed, Mr. Backlund.
30:46I would suspect that you're about to give us another one, aren't you?
30:49Or like when Mr. Backlund won the WWF title on February 20th of 1978.
31:01And then he came back from adversity, which you know nothing about.
31:08On November 23rd, 1994, he reigned again.
31:16And tonight, I want to, pardon me.
31:23Get a hold of yourself.
31:24Bob Backlund having apparently a little choked up over this announcement.
31:30This must be really big.
31:32Mr. Backlund, your short tail is showing.
31:36I'm under complete control, ladies and gentlemen.
31:39I'm very cognizant of everything that's going on.
31:47Pardon me again.
31:48Mr. Backlund can't get it out, apparently.
31:53This is obviously an emotional moment for Bob Backlund.
31:56Mr. Backlund, please.
31:57We're running out of time.
31:58Please.
31:59Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you.
32:03I'm Claude Contemplating running for the presidency of the United States of America.
32:13Wow.
32:17Look at this.
32:20Look at this.
32:21Bob Backlund is president of the United States.
32:25What is the meaning of this?
32:31Bob Backlund for president.
32:41Bob Backlund for president.
32:43Show the sign.
32:44Look at the sign.
32:47Campaign button.
32:55Bob Backlund for president.
33:06This is great.
33:07We're going to take a break.
33:08We'll be back with Bob Backlund against IRS.
33:12Stay with us.
33:16Welcome back, everyone, to more WWF Monday Night Raw.
33:18Can you believe this?
33:19Bob Backlund for president.
33:21Daring, man.
33:22Put this on quick.
33:24I appreciate it.
33:26Maybe later.
33:27I mean, what else?
33:28When you think about it, though, when it comes to politicians,
33:30I guess he would be eminently qualified.
33:32But no.
33:33Bob Backlund for president of the United States.
33:35Can you imagine?
33:36He could straighten this country out once.
33:37He is exactly what we need.
33:39Oh, really?
33:40Just take a look at this.
33:41Do you realize that this is the future of America?
33:44They need the influence of a Bob Backlund.
33:46They need the leadership of a Mr. Bob Backlund.
33:49They're a lost generation without him.
33:51All right.
33:52Right now, ladies and gentlemen, let's take you now and show you some.
33:54Well, there you see Big Daddy Cool just last night.
33:57Was he ever ready for action or what?
33:59Yeah, what about Sid?
34:00So was Psycho Sid.
34:01No question.
34:02From there, they came together.
34:04Yes, the stare down.
34:05And you can tell Diesel was far from intimidated.
34:08No way, indeed.
34:09Look at that.
34:10Yeah.
34:11He got the smirk wiped off his face.
34:13Sid actually power bombing the WWF champion.
34:16And then from there, guess what?
34:18Sid couldn't believe it.
34:20Diesel kicked out of the power bomb.
34:23Nobody's ever done that.
34:24And then from there, oh, but look what happened.
34:27It was the Big Daddy Cool who, yes, jackknifed that huge, monstrous Sid
34:31down to the canvas.
34:32And then as he was going for the cover, Tataka running in to interfere
34:37in what would have perhaps been a one, two, three.
34:41Yes, even Ted DiBiase got in on the act after the match was officially over.
34:46Ted DiBiase, Tataka, Sid going to work.
34:49Yes, one more time.
34:50Ted DiBiase asked Sid to give him a power bomb.
34:53One more time.
34:54And finally, arriving on the scene.
34:56Yeah.
34:57Bam, bam, bigelow.
34:58Talk about interference.
34:59He stuck his nose where it wouldn't belong.
35:01Look at that.
35:03And earlier today, ladies and gentlemen, we had an occasion.
35:05Jim Ross grabbed Ted DiBiase as he arrived here at the arena
35:09along with Erwin R. Shyster.
35:14Million Dollar Man, what are your thoughts about IRS's match tonight
35:17against Bam, Bam, Bigelow?
35:19Nice tie there, Jim Ross.
35:21Not too bad for a popper.
35:22Tonight, IRS against Bam, Bam, Bigelow.
35:25Hey, one picture is worth a million words.
35:27Obviously, IRS is going to put the biggest audit on Bam, Bam, Bigelow of his life.
35:32And I don't think there's going to be anything left of Bam, Bam, Bigelow
35:35after tonight.
35:36But just in case, just in case there happens to be something left, Bam, Bam,
35:40I've got a real good idea.
35:42And I think, Erwin, you'll agree with this.
35:44Why don't you, since you seem to be so chummy-chummy now with your newfound
35:47friend Diesel, why don't the two of you get together and form a tag team
35:51combination?
35:52Because I've got a team in mind that would just love to face you.
35:55His name is Sid and Native American Tataka.
35:58Because you see, Bam, Bam, if it weren't for you, Sid would be
36:02World Wrestling Federation Champion right now.
36:04So if there happens to be anything left of you after tonight,
36:07why don't the two of you just get together and really get it on?
36:11What?
36:12I don't hear anything.
36:13Oh, no guts?
36:14Exactly what I thought.
36:15Let's go.
36:16Move out of the way before I audit you.
36:18Come on.
36:21We're back live in Binghamton, New York.
36:24Ladies and gentlemen, Erwin Arnstein in the square circle.
36:34Take a look at that mug right there, McMahon.
36:37He could have been, he could have been managing as the WWF Champion tonight.
36:42If it wasn't for Bam, Bam, Bigelow.
36:45Well, I'm quite surprised actually by Diviace issuing a tag team challenge to
36:49Diesel and Bam, Bam to face Tataka and Sid.
36:52His opponent.
36:54But right now, this is single competition.
36:57And Bam, Bam, Bigelow.
36:59Yeah.
37:00Beast.
37:01Beast.
37:02Bam, Bam, Bigelow.
37:05Hey, looks like he's got his head stuck in a volcano.
37:07Oh, really?
37:09Look at the look on Erwin's face.
37:10Bam, Bam, ladies and gentlemen.
37:12This is his first opportunity to get his hands on one of the million dollar
37:15corporate members.
37:17And I think Bam, Bam could very well form the ring with Erwin Arnstein.
37:23Oh, yeah.
37:25Oh, my goodness.
37:29It's hot here tonight for sure.
37:32It's hot here tonight for sure.
37:34On Monday Night Raw, you can definitely feel the heat.
37:38And since you're toupee.
37:40You too.
37:42Bam, Bam, ladies and gentlemen, against Native American,
37:44Tataka in your house last night.
37:47Bam, Bam, by the way, suffering an injury.
37:50I like to introduce to you a man that's going to be in my corner.
37:56A man that I would be proud to be tag team with.
38:01Huh?
38:02Big Daddy Cool.
38:04What?
38:06Wait a minute.
38:08How about that?
38:09Here he comes.
38:10Yes.
38:12The world wrestling federation champion.
38:17A man who was victorious just last night.
38:21When Mike Ellison was disqualified.
38:24And you can bet Diesel's going to look at the size of that sponsor.
38:27You can bet Diesel's going to make sure Erwin is pointing at Ted DiBiase.
38:32Diesel will make sure no one interferes in this match.
38:35Get out of his head.
38:40And I think, I believe the WWF champion is going to eject.
38:45Yes.
38:47Ted turning for his wife, Ted DiBiase.
38:52Wait a minute.
38:53DiBiase's leaving ringside completely?
38:56Ted DiBiase's out of here.
38:57The bell has rung.
38:58The match begins at Bam Bam.
39:00With a series of right hands now.
39:02And Erwin Armsheister sets him up.
39:05Off the rope.
39:06Missing with a clothesline.
39:07And look at this.
39:08Bam Bam up with Erwin.
39:09And down across to the ear.
39:11To the ropes to the outside.
39:13And no one's out there to help him.
39:14Ted, come back.
39:18And Erwin Armsheister objecting to the fact that Ted DiBiase took off.
39:26Ted DiBiase took off on his own.
39:31And Erwin Armsheister extremely upset, ladies and gentlemen.
39:35We said before, Bam Bam has a leg injury.
39:37You can bet if Erwin has an opportunity.
39:39He spoke to Taka earlier on, I'm sure.
39:42Who is in this arena.
39:44And Erwin knows full well if he can grab that leg.
39:47If he can injure the leg again, as Taka did last night.
39:50Then IRS has a good chance of defeating Bam Bam.
39:54Well, he needs to take advantage of it.
39:56You know, everybody in this arena and everybody watching at home
39:59takes advantage of the IRS every chance they get.
40:01They cheat on their taxes.
40:03So now here's his opportunity to pay him back.
40:06Bam Bam whipping IRS to the rope.
40:08Bam Bam off the rope himself.
40:12No, he missed.
40:13Right, he missed.
40:14A slight hesitation on the part of Bam Bam Bigelow.
40:16That cost him.
40:19IRS with Bam Bam Bigelow.
40:21Reversal there by Big Bam Bam.
40:23Man, no.
40:24IRS.
40:25Good move.
40:26Hiding under the rope to the outside.
40:29Go get him, Bam Bam.
40:30Look out, look out.
40:31He counters with IRS.
40:33This match will continue, ladies and gentlemen.
40:37Welcome back, everyone, to more WWF Monday Night Raw.
40:40Yes, we are live from the Broome County Arena in Binghamton, New York.
40:44IRS against Bam Bam.
40:45Bam Bam Bigelow.
40:47What a clothesline.
40:49Bam Bam drops the hat.
40:52Bam Bam Bigelow picking up some rhythm,
40:54picking up some momentum here in this matchup.
40:56I can't believe he's got to go.
40:57Diesel in his corner.
40:59Look at this.
41:00Bam Bam from the top, even with the bad wheel.
41:02And now going home.
41:04Going home.
41:05She's just having somebody in your corner.
41:07It was like me last night.
41:09And in your house with my mother there.
41:11There was no way I wanted to let her down.
41:13Can you imagine?
41:14Bret the Hitman Hart.
41:15He let his mother down.
41:17He embarrassed himself in front of his mom,
41:20in front of his whole family.
41:22He's the big loser that I always told you he was.
41:25Well, unfortunately, the Hitman Bret Hart was embarrassed as never before.
41:29Been cheering as long as he lasts for his career.
41:31Cover here, one.
41:32Got him.
41:33No, did he?
41:34Yes.
41:35No.
41:36That was close.
41:38And the Million Dollar Corporate members, ladies and gentlemen,
41:41in action.
41:42We've got IRS against Bam Bam Bigelow.
41:46And IRS with a cover.
41:47One, two, and the count is down.
41:49That was three.
41:50And again, so very, very close.
41:53Bam Bam just last night against a fellow corporate member of IRS,
41:59namely Satanka.
42:01Can you imagine?
42:02Even with the injured leg, Bam Bam here tonight.
42:05Rod, keeping his promise, taking on IRS.
42:10Abdominal stretch.
42:12You got Bam Bam Bigelow wanting to get even with the Million Dollar Corporation.
42:15Plus, you got Shawn Michaels who wants to get at the Million Dollar Corporation.
42:19Can you imagine?
42:20Michaels talking about a comeback.
42:23I certainly hope Michaels is at a 100% capacity,
42:27because imagine, Michaels, who wanted Sid,
42:31and Ted DiBiase gives him King Kong Bundy.
42:34Corporate member after corporate member trying, ladies and gentlemen,
42:38to dominate the World Wrestling Federation.
42:41And doing a pretty good job of it.
42:45Bam Bam trying to hang in there.
42:48Bam Bam Bigelow.
42:49After the match officially over last night,
42:52Bam Bam coming in to help out, trying to return the favor.
42:58And Bam Bam is in trouble.
43:02Look out.
43:03IRS pressing with that shoulder.
43:06And IRS continuing, ladies and gentlemen, to pummel Bam Bam Bigelow.
43:10Keep your eye on Diesel.
43:12He's not above pulling somebody's leg or something.
43:14He's a cheater.
43:18No one should speak of cheating after what you did to the Hitman last night.
43:22Bam Bam Bigelow is really taking some punishment here against Erwin R.
43:26Shyster.
43:27Did you see the look on my mom's face?
43:29I beg your pardon?
43:30She was so proud.
43:33IRS, remove the buckle and go, Bam Bam.
43:36Bam Bam right into the buckle.
43:37That did it.
43:38That did it.
43:40Erwin with a cover.
43:41We have one.
43:42We have two.
43:43And wait a minute.
43:44The foot bail is around.
43:45What did I tell you?
43:46What?
43:47Did you see that?
43:48Did you see that?
43:51Diesel bringing to the referee's attention, and certainly to Erwin's attention,
43:56that his foot was on the rope.
43:58Bam Bam locks it.
43:59Iris to the buckle.
44:02Bam Bam drops the hat.
44:04Bam Bam with a cover.
44:06No fair.
44:07No fair.
44:08No fair.
44:09The winner of the match, Bam Bam Bigelow.
44:14Bam Bam Bigelow.
44:15Bam Bam Bigelow.
44:16Victorious.
44:20And who's in there winning?
44:22The WWF Champion.
44:24Yes, Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
44:26Hey, wait a minute.
44:27Hey, that's it.
44:29That's Tataka.
44:30Stay with us.
44:31We'll be back.
44:33We certainly hope you've enjoyed the action.
44:35That's fire night, ladies and gentlemen, on Monday night.
44:37Raw, unbelievable.
44:38You can bet Sid and Tataka will have that match with Diesel and Bam Bam Bigelow.
44:43But speaking of a match, whoa, baby.
44:45Next week, Shawn Michaels one-on-one with King Kong Bundy.
44:48Let's take a look, ladies and gentlemen, at the Heartbreak Kid.
44:53I think I'm cute.
44:57I know I'm sexy.
44:59I've got the looks that drives a girl wild.
45:04I've got the moves that really move her.
45:08I said, chill.
45:10Up and down that spine.

45:28I make them hot.
45:30I make them shiver.
45:32Their knees get weak.
45:34When they're around, around.
45:37They see me walk.
45:39They hear me talk.
45:41I make them beat.
45:43Like they're on cloud nine.
45:45I'm just a sexy boy.
