[announcer] The World Wrestling Entertainment--
for over fifty years, the revolutionary force
in sports entertainment.
With the challenger, Big Daddy Cool Diesel,
the proverbial glass is half full.
His reign as WWE Champion ended last November,
but in the aftermath, he has launched a crusade of reckless abandon
in World Wrestling Entertainment.
Now, this rebellious malcontent finds himself in a position
to reclaim championship gold
in a No Holds Barred Match that favors a man of his size.
For the champion, Shawn Michaels, the glass is half empty.
He fulfilled a boyhood dream at WrestleMania
but lost a close friend on the road to the championship.
Tonight, in what will surely be the most emotional match of his career,
he not only yields a distinct physical advantage to the 7-foot Diesel,
but a psychological one as well.
Can David slay Goliath?
Or will Shawn Michaels' reign as leader of The New Generation
come to an abrupt end?
Tonight, only one thing's for sure.
When it's over, these two friends turned "better" enemies
will hate each other even more than before.
[theme song playing]
[Vince] Welcome, everyone, to Omaha, Nebraska!
Welcome to the Heartland of America!
Welcome to WWE In Your House!
You want to talk fireworks? That's what you're gonna see tonight
live from Omaha, In Your House.
Hello, everyone, I'm Vince McMahon along with Jerry "The King" Lawler.
Let me tell you, McMahon,
we saw the title change hands at WrestleMania.
We saw Shawn Michaels realize his lifelong dream.
But tonight, we may see that title change hands once again,
because Big Daddy Cool Diesel has promised to ruin Shawn Michaels' life.
And, tonight, with No Holds Barred, that's exactly what he's gonna do.
[Vince] And here comes The British Bulldog to kick off the first matchup.
[King] He's got a surprise for you, too, McMahon.
["Rule, Britannia" by Leonard Bernstein playing]
[announcer] Coming down the aisle with Jim Cornette,
from Manchester, England weight 253 pounds,
The British Bulldog!
[Vince] Capacity crowd jam packing the arena!
Huge traffic jam on the outside finally clearing up.
Most everybody getting through the construction,
getting into In Your House live from Omaha, Nebraska.
The British bulldog along with his brother-in-law, Owen Hart, in the ring.
Wait a minute. There's Jim Cornette and Clarence Mason, as well.
[King] Oh, yeah!
[Vince] What's Clarence Mason doing here? That spells trouble right away.
[King] How do you figure that, McMahon?
Everybody should be accompanied by a good attorney.
-[Vince] He's an attorney, that's why. -[King] Huh?
[Vince] He's the attorney. You always have trouble with that.
That's what happened, ladies and gentlemen, over in Germany.
Recently, Jake "The Snake" giving Owen Hart a devastating move.
Look what happened to The British Bulldog.
That's when we learned that Davey Boy Smith was afraid of snakes.
-[King] Whoa! -[Vince] What?
[King] Who's not afraid of snakes, McMahon?
[Vince] Seems to be a little something going on here with Clarence Mason.
Some sort of injunction. I don't know what it is.
Standing by, ladies and gentlemen,
Jake "The Snake" Roberts. Jake, are you there?
Yeah. Let me tell you something.
I've always been the kind of man who went downtown.
When I went downtown, I knew what I was going after.
There's a Plan A, there's a Plan B.
[Vince] Have you seen what's going on out there?
We've got Cornette along with, uh…
I hear you, but let me tell you something.
I don't go anywhere blind. I've got something.
-I'll bring it to you now. -[King] No, no, no.
Come on, McMahon, now he's bringing that stupid snake out here!
[Vince] I can tell you get ready for the roof to blow off!
[King] Bulldog, look out, he's bringing the snake!
["Snake Bit" by Jim Johnston playing]
[Vince] The British bulldog deathly afraid of snakes.
Jim Cornette, likewise.
I would suggest Clarence Mason deals with snakes all the time.
[King] What?
[Vince] You know, fellow attorneys and all.
[King] Come on, McMahon. Cornette's deathly afraid of snakes.
The Bulldog, I am. What?
[Vince] There's a man possessed. Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
But even with what he has in that bag, against these odds,
Jake "The Snake" Roberts had better be leery.
He made reference to a Plan B.
I think we're about to see Plan B come out of the bag.
Wait a minute.
There's a consultation going on with the official.
[King] Hey! He may have some sort of court order
to keep that snake out of here.
That's a great idea!
[Vince] Mason with a piece of paper in his hand.
[King] It's one of those writs Cornette is always talking about.
Probably wrote it last night.
[Vince] Maybe we can finally get to the bottom of what this is.
[King] Yep, he wrote a writ.
Now he's gotta try to read it.
[Vince] This could very well be an injunction against Jake "The Snake."
[King] It's a writ. What?
He just destroyed an official court document, McMahon! Is he crazy?
-[King] He got the snake out! -[Vince] Put that back in the…
-[King] Turn around! -[Vince] Here comes the judge!
Cornette! Cornette can't believe it!
-[King] He's fainted! -[Vince] He what?
[King] He's fainted!
Come on, McMahon, make yourself useful! Get up and give him mouth-to-mouth!
[Vince] I think he's gonna die if we have to rely on that.
Cornette is out!
So as the snake out of the bag, and the official…
[King] Anybody know CPR?
-[Vince] Hopefully not anyone close by. -[King] Is there a doc…
[Vince] I mean…
Jake "The Snake," yes, ladies and gentlemen
must take the snake back to the locker room area.
That means when he returns, it's gonna be one against…
Well, Cornette's out, too. He's out of the equation.
[King] Where's Goldust when you need him? He can revive Cornette.
-Oh, God! -[Vince] Cornette coming around.
-Oh, God, the snake! -[Vince] Oh, please.
It spit on me!
Ugh, wipe me off!
[Vince] Look at this. Please.
Wipe him off as if…
I'm not even sure the snake touched him.
[King] That slimy snake's touched him, all right.
[audience booing]
[King] Now we're gonna have a fair match.
[Vince] A fair match? When Jake "The Snake" returns,
it's not gonna be fair at all.
If the official moved the snake out of there,
clearly he must move the other snakes out, including Owen Hart and Clarence Mason.
[audience yells]
[Vince] This capacity crowd ready for some action!
And wait a minute! We're gonna have a match, all right.
["Pearl River Rip" by Jim Johnston playing]
[King] Wait a minute, now!
[Vince] Anything can happen here in World Wrestling Entertainment.
Maybe that's what Jake "The Snake" meant by Plan B.
-[King] Clarence! -[Vince] Ahmed Johnson, oh my goodness!
-[King] Clarence! -[Vince] The rafters are gonna rock!
[King] Clarence, write another writ! Get a restraining order!
[Vince] Yeah!
Here we go! The match officially underway!
We've got ourselves a tag team matchup!
Jake "The Snake" Roberts is wasting no time with Owen Hart,
working on the wrist area. Jake "The Snake" means business.
And so does Ahmed Johnson. Things turning around here.
Oh, my goodness!
[King] They're having to take Cornette to the back for medical help.
[Vince] And in the ring, in action, Owen Hart.
And Owen hard was not paying…
Here's Owen Hart tagging in The British Bulldog,
who did not even want to come in against Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
-[King] Oh, no! -[Vince] What?
-[King] He just tagged in Ahmed Johnson. -[Vince] Well, well, well!
And, oh, come on!
We had an arm-wrestling event recently on RAW.
Ahmed showed who's the stronger of the two,
and The British Bulldog showed who was the dastardly of the two.
[King] Oh, that look right there will be accompanied by
the sound of a snake's rattle.
[Vince] Diana Smith out somewhere watching this event, as she always is.
And I wonder how she feels about The British Bulldog cowering out now
and tagging in his brother-in-law, Owen Hart.
Whoa, that's powerful!
Ahmed wants The Bulldog. That's what he wants.
[King] Yeah, Ahmed still upset about his broken thumb,
thanks to The British Bulldog.
[Vince] Action going on in the ring here.
Impromptu tag team match.
Action in the ring. Action as well a little bit later on.
The WWE Superstar Line room, as well as America Online.
Action all over the place. Cyberspace, you name it--
WWE is everywhere.
[King] He pulled his hair, I think, McMahon.
[Vince] I don't think so.
Ahmed Johnson can't wait to get his paws on The British Bulldog.
What a score he has to settle with Davey Boy Smith.
[King] Owen's got him now. What do you think now?
-Look out, yikes! -[Vince] Headlock, and…
Whoa! Oh!
Little nod of the head by Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
There's Diana looking on with a troubled look on her face
I would suggest any wife would have.
[King] She's the Tammy Wynette of the WWE.
She stands by her man.
[Vince] Capacity crowd yelling for the DDT.
We saw the footage from Germany,
the recent successful WWE tour
Jake "The Snake" was able to apply the DDT… And Owen Hart…
Maybe we'll see it again tonight. Who knows?
[King] No, no! Get away! Get away! Get away!
[Vince] Whoa, whoa, whoa. Owen Hart…
-[King] He's smart for that, he told him. -[Vince] Is that right?
Owen Hart escaping that dreaded DDT.
Jake, the wily veteran.
[King] I can assure you right now that Clarence Mason is on the phone
with some judge here in Omaha.
[Vince] Oh! Lost again.
Yeah. Snake almost had him. He's gonna get him.
Jake's the kind of competitor who waits for his opportunity.
[audience cheers louder]
[King] Listen to these…
[Vince] He'll coil right up and strike you when you're least expecting it.
Owen Hart…
[King] Look at this. Owen Hart's on him like a mongoose right now.
[Vince] That's true.
Owen Hart… Here comes The British Bulldog, the big powerhouse.
Jake "The Snake" scooped up, and big slam!
[King chuckles]
[Vince] Off the rope, and… no.
Jake rolls out of the way just in the nick of time.
And here we go! There's a tag!
And… oh, wait a minute. Ah, come on! Come on!
Where's your gumption, Bulldog? Huh?
[King] You don't say anything when Jake "The Snake" slithers out of the way.
-[Vince] Feigning injury on that bicep. -[King] Uh-oh, he hurt his arm.
[Vince] If he hurt it, Ahmed hurt it when he slammed it down on that table…
[King] Huh?
[Vince] …during the arm-wrestling event on RAW. But now…
Owen Hart, who does not want to get back in, nonetheless must.
Will we see a little Test of strength here?
How gullible is Owen Hart?
[King] Try the other hand, Owen.
That's the one where he doesn't have an opposable thumb.
[King laughs]
[Vince]That's right.
The British bulldog breaking the thumb of Ahmed Johnson,
the result of that jamming the table down on him.
And look at this. Owen Hart is gonna try his luck.
-[King] What? -[Vince] Oh, he's sorry for it now!
Owen Hart just had to Test the strength of Ahmed Johnson.
[King] This guy's not even supposed to be here, McMahon.
[Vince] I doubt about that. And neither is Owen Hart.
Owen Hart may not be here for long after that.
-[King] Right in the rib cage. -[Vince] Devastating, yes.
Clothesline and just drove him down to the canvas.
Jake "The Snake" Roberts was scheduled to face
The British Bulldog in single competition,
and look at Ahmed go!
Oh, forget about it!
[King] Look at this! Disqualify him, Ref!
[Vince] When he loses it, he loses it completely.
The bulldog coming in! Come on, Ref, get the bulldog out of there!
[King] Yeah, there you go.
[Vince] Cheap shot from The British Bulldog.
Get him out of there!
[King] Show him, boys. Show him he's not Mike Tyson.
[Vince] Yeah, now The Bulldog…
With Ahmed in trouble, yeah, sure he wants to tag out.
[King] His arm feels a little better now.
We'll see who the strongest man in World Wrestling Entertainment is now, McMahon.
[Vince] And Ahmed slammed to the canvas!
The British bulldog, and he is a powerhouse.
[King] And he's got great recouping power, unlike Ahmed Johnson.
[Vince] Oh, yeah!
Ahmed taking those right hands, one after the other.
Ahmed choking The British Bulldog back into the corner!
Cheap shot by Owen Hart, right over the shoulder.
Look at Ahmed Johnson. He's in trouble now.
[King] Yeah.
Stomp that hand! Work on that thumb!
[Vince] Owen Hart and The British Bulldog…
-Oh, what an uppercut! -[King] Yeah!
[Vince] Trying to double team Ahmed Johnson.
[King] Slam him!
[Vince] And Johnson… no, he can't!
[King] Ahmed puts on the brakes! What?
[Vince] Ahmed now with Owen Hart…
[King yells]
[Vince] Going up is Owen Hart! Way up is Owen Hart!
Ahmed slams him on the canvas!
[King] With a broken thumb!
[Vince] And now… now, here it comes.
-Here comes the DDT! -Get away, Owen!
[Vince] Yeah, get away nothing. Here it comes.
Jake "The Snake" Roberts setting up Owen Hart now.
Everybody wanting to see that DDT. Oh!
[King] Tell these people to shut up!
[Vince] Tell the people in the crowd to shut up? What's going on with you?
[King] The people of Nebraska, bunch of cornhuskers.
-Let me tell you something, McMahon. -[Vince] Oh!
[King] If idiots could fly, this place would be an airport.
[King screams]
[Vince] All right, here we… no! Owen Hart…
lifting a knee just in the nick of time.
Owen Hart, the self-professed King of Hearts,
-from the top, and dropkick! -Beautiful!
[Vince] Owen Hart with tremendous athletic ability.
Great cunning skill as well. Great tactician.
He learned it, of course, from his brother Bret "The Hitman" Hart,
the best there is, the best there was. Perhaps the best there ever will be.
Look at this. Double kick. Come on, Ref!
[King laughs]
I'm not gonna say you're lying, McMahon, but you are factually-challenged.
[Vince] Jake "The Snake" being challenged, all right.
The British bulldog unrelenting in his attack on Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
[King] Great. They're amazing athletes. Talk about Nebraska…
[Vince] Wait a minute! Owen Hart now behind the official's back!
[King laughs] Don't pull hair, Jake!
[Vince] As soon as the ref turns, Owen Hart releases the hold.
[King] The only thing Nebraska's famous for
is their football players.
They do have the best football players money can buy.
[Vince] Can't you be nice anywhere?
-Oh, a hard right hand! -[King] Pour it on, baby!
[Vince] The British bulldog with his tag team brother-in-law partner,
Owen Hart, live from Nebraska In Your House,
kicking off In Your House.
And we've already seen a number of things we thought we wouldn't see.
[King] The crowd has turned on Jake. They're cheering for The Bulldog.
-Something's wrong with your monitor. -[Vince] Nothing is wrong
with the determination of Jake "The Snake."
[King] Don't let him get up. Don't let him tag.
[Vince] Oh, come on, Ref! Disqualifying!
The bulldog just hammering, just pounding on Jake "The Snake."
The Bulldog… drops the leg!
I might add, without the intimidation of the python in the corner,
it looks like Owen Hart and The British Bulldog taking full advantage.
And now the elbow! Bulldog's having fun now.
-[King] A cover! -[Vince] This is over!
-[King] Two and… -[Vince] No. A kick-out on two.
[King] Bulldog was the original party animal
way before Spuds MacKenzie.
-[Vince] Spuds MacKenzie? -[King] Yeah.
Bulldog enjoying himself now.
[Vince] Jake "The Snake" is not enjoying himself.
He's having great difficulty, as anyone would,
with these dog-like tactics.
[King] Calm down, people.
Whoa!
[Vince] Jake reaching for the tag. Ahmed way too far away.
[King] Put the squeeze on him! Give him some of his own medicine!
Squeeze him like a boa constrictor!
[Vince] Jake, back up on his feet, drives the elbow.
Again, a hold release.
Jake off the rope now, and… oh!
Elbow struck in the butt of the jaw.
Owen Hart, right on target, steps into a Sharpshooter!
Oh! Kick-out by Jake "The Snake."
[King] What? How'd he do that?
[Vince] Can he make the tag? Jake thinks he can make the tag,
and Owen Hart doing everything he can to keep… uh-oh.
There's a tag for you.
[King] Never seen anybody get out of Owen's Sharpshooter.
[Vince] It wasn't properly applied. Oh, no!
[King laughs]
[Vince] I can tell you these two brother-in-laws,
Owen Hart and The British Bulldog,
are tough to beat as a team.
Jake "The Snake" may rue the day
that he brought Ahmed Johnson in as a partner.
[King] That's right. Stupid.
[Vince] No matter how good you are individually,
ladies and gentlemen, you must function as a unit.
And this is the first time Jake "The Snake" Roberts has ever teamed up
with Ahmed Johnson.
The upper-body strength
of The British Bulldog working for him now,
leaning his weight on Jake "The Snake" Roberts,
trying to cut off the air.
And Ahmed wants to be in there so bad he can taste it.
Ahmed reaching for the tag. Jake drives the elbow.
And again. Jake now…
Owen Hart behind the referee's back again.
-[King] Beautiful! -[Vince] A knee right into the back.
Owen Hart and British bulldog like two rabid dogs on top of him there.
[King laughs]
[Vince] Look at the bulldog distracting the official.
Owen cutting the air off from Jake "The Snake" Roberts!
Jake "The Snake" is in big-time trouble.
[King] Snakes can go a long time without breathing, McMahon.
They go underwater and all that kind of…
Don't worry about him.
[Vince] Not worried about this one.
A boot there to the abdominal area.
Owen Hart and The British Bulldog have had great success in the past teaming up.
And off the rope, and… oh!
Owen telegraphing his move!
-[King] Look out, Owen! -[Vince] Jake with a hard right hand.
How much does he have behind those right hands?
So much has been taken out of him.
Off the rope, Owen Hart hooks him up and tries to bring him down.
-Sleeper hold applied. -[King] Squeeze him, baby!
Oh!
[Vince] What an escape by Jake "The Snake" Roberts!
[King] The slimy snake.
Uh-oh. Uh-oh!
[Vince] Jake "The Snake" inching his way over.
Owen Hart may have lost a couple of front teeth on that last exchange.
[King] Tag out, Owen.
[Vince] Owen crawling over to tag in The Bulldog.
[King] Hurry up, Owen. Hurry up!
[Vince] Jake "The Snake" getting closer to the tag.
-Here comes The Bulldog. -[King] No, no, no!
[Vince] Oh, yes!
[King] Ahmed with the right hand!
Ahmed going to work on The Bulldog!
[Vince] Bringing this capacity crowd alive.
Ahmed Johnson the windmill, coming off and… oh!
What a spinebuster! Ahmed taking it to him!
[King] Look at him! Now he's got a tongue like a snake!
[Vince] Oh! Forget about it!
Oh, you better watch Ahmed Johnson!
When he goes off, nobody can stop him.
And now we're gonna get that DDT.
Ahmed setting up Jake "The Snake" Roberts for the DDT.
Bulldog begging off.
The British bulldog in big-time trouble now.
As Jake "The Snake"-- here it comes. Look out!
Owen gets back body dropped!
Ahmed Johnson nailing The British Bulldog!
-[King] Look out! -[Vince] Double clothesline!
[King] That's cheating big-time, McMahon!
[Vince] Jake "The Snake"… and wait a minute!
Cornette's tennis racket is still on the outside!
The bulldog has Cornette's tennis racket!
Oh, he got him right across the knee!
[King] Two shots!
[Vince] Oh, no!
[King] Tennis, anyone?
[Vince] The bulldog working on that leg,
working on the knee of…
Jake "The Snake" Roberts surrenders!
[King] Oh!
[announcer] The winners of this bout--
The British bulldog and The King of Hearts, Owen Hart!
["Rule, Britannia" by Leonard Bernstein playing]
[Vince] Unbelievable tactics on the part of The British Bulldog.
Cornette, who was taken to the back for assistance,
left his tennis racket behind the official's back.
The bulldog whacked Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
He got him right on the knee and then applied the pressure.
Jake wasted no time in surrendering.
The bulldog and Owen Hart, imagine this-- victorious!
[King] That's right. You better watch what you're saying, McMahon,
because you could be accused of slander, the remarks you're making.
You better say he allegedly hit him with a tennis racket.
[Vince] I've said it before-- no matter how good you are individually,
it's a collective tag team effort.
And somehow, the bulldog ekes out a victory.
The WWE Superstar Line, ladies and gentlemen,
available all the way through In Your House tonight.
And there we have The Kid and Wildman Marc Mero
Oh, my goodness, what action they gave us at the WWE Free-for-All.
There's the amount it will cost you to make this call,
both in the United States as well as Canada.
This, of course, available only in North America.
The WWE Superstar Line.
We'll hear from winners and losers all night long.
No doubt a few surprises.
And you can bet Marc Mero had a few things to say to The 1-2-3 Kid.
[King] Tell me truth-- do you really think Sable is pretty?
[Vince] I'd like to hear from Sable, myself.
[King] Yuck.
[Vince] Yes, Wildman Marc Mero and The Kid on the WWE Superstar Line.
And, well, you know what this means.
You want to get bizarre?
["Gold-Lust" by Jim Johnston playing]
[Vince] The most bizarre individual in the history of the WWE.
Hey, wait a minute. Who's that?
[King] Gangster.
[announcer] Coming down the aisle accompanied by Marlena…
[King] Well…
I don't know. Looks like somebody straight out of the movie Godfather to me.
[announcer] …Weighing 260 pounds,
the World Wrestling Entertainment Intercontinental champion,
Goldust!
[King] Looks like Goldust, maybe his knee is all right.
They said he fell, but…
Oh, wait. Is he limping?
[Vince] Goldust and Marlena.
Goldust is defending the Intercontinental Championship
against, as Dok said earlier, the most reckless individual
in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment.
There can only be one Ultimate Warrior.
And you're about to experience, and Goldust is about to experience--
-[King] Whoa! -[Vince] …that's in your face--
an extraordinary experience.
During the WWE Free-for-All earlier tonight,
apparently Goldust and Marlena-- watch this.
The spirit of the warrior is coming out of that belt.
[Vince] Blowing cigar smoke, and then Goldust
blowing gold dust right into the face of The Ultimate Warrior.
[King] Then The Warrior chased him down the hallway
and makes Goldust fall. That's not fair. That's not right.
[Vince] Goldust, once again, the Intercontinental Champion.
There it is.
Recently regaining the title from Savio Vega,
and hopefully that saga is not over.
[King] Every time I look at Goldust and Marlena, it reminds me of movies.
[Vince] Movies?
[King] Movie titles. I know you hate it when I talk about movie titles
when I talk about Goldust, but just look at him. Hey!
I'm the Good, he's the Bad, and you're the Ugly, McMahon!
-[Vince] Oh, you're a riot. -[King laughs] Oh, yeah!
[Vince] And we have noticed on the left leg of Goldust--
the left knee-- there is a bandage.
So, apparently, there was some damage done to the knee.
And again, who is the man out there with Goldust?
["Unstable" by Jim Johnston playing]
[announcer] Introducing the challenger…
[King] Get set!
[announcer] Weighing 260 pounds,
-The Ultimate Warrior! -[King] Get ready! Go!
[Vince] Unbelievable!
[audience cheers louder]
["Unstable" by Jim Johnston continues]
[Vince] If you're on the outside of the ring and you're Goldust,
what must you be thinking?
[King] What is deal, McMahon?
Why do these people love The Warrior so much?
What is it about this guy?
Look at him.
Speaking of movies, McMahon, he's like the "Raging Bull" in there.
Look at him.
[Vince] The Ultimate Warrior against Goldust.
And Goldust right away cowering over in the corner.
All The Warrior did was just look down at him.
And look at… look at that…
[King] I ain't getting in there…
[Vince] He is scared to death. He's scared to death!
[King] No, come on. Hey! He's got a Braveheart, McMahon.
[Vince] Yeah, brave… you and the movie titles again.
[bell rings]
[Vince] The man on the outside must be a bodyguard.
Wait a minute. Whoever he is, he's up on the apron.
And if I were he, I would think twice
before getting anywhere near The Ultimate Warrior.
[King] I think Marlena's made an Executive Decision to hire a Bodyguard.
[Vince] Uh-huh.
[King] He's not really scared. Goldust's not really afraid.
He's an actor, McMahon. He's acting!
[Vince] Yeah, sure he is. Yeah. Look at him.
Ah, come on! He's pulling Marlena along with him!
Goldust…
is hobbling back to the locker room area.
And I think Marlena has dropped her cigar.
The Ultimate Warrior with Marlena's cigar.
Ew. Abba dabba!
And wait a minute…
[King] I wish Edward Scissorhands would get ahold of Warrior's hair.
What?
[Vince] The Ultimate Warrior, to my knowledge, does not smoke.
On the contrary, The Ultimate Warrior…
[King] Wait, what's he doing now?
[Vince] The Warrior bringing in Goldust's chair.
[King] That's Marlena's chair.
He's got the chair! He's got the chair! He wants the chair!
[Vince] Apparently, Goldust is taking great exception.
[King laughs]
[Vince] I think Groucho Marx would greatly appreciate what's going on.
[King] Come on, Goldust. Get in there and give him
a Close Encounter of the Goldust Kind.
[Vince] Wait a minute.
Hey, wait a minute. Not that hair.
What is going on?
Who's playing the mind games now?
Under normal circumstances, it is Goldust with the psychological tactics.
[King] Ah, that's too much! Come on!
What is he doing?
[Vince] I think what he's doing is just baiting Goldust.
[King] If he keeps this up, when Goldust gets in there,
Warrior may be taking A Walk in the Clouds, McMahon.
Another movie title.
[Vince] I must've missed that one.
-Are you gonna wrestle? -No.
[Vince] All right, Ref, get this thing under control now.
That's your chair!
[Vince] It is a stinking cigar.
Goldust very reluctant to get into the ring.
Very reluctant.
[King] Well, he's got a bad leg, McMahon.
He needs to go see a doctor like Dr. Zhivago.
[Vince] Stop with the movie titles.
[King] Or his own personal doctor, Dr. Strangelove.
[Vince] I wouldn't doubt that.
The Ultimate Warrior waiting patiently for destiny to strike.
[King laughs] I heard of Rebel Without a Cause,
but The Warrior is sitting there like a rebel without a clue.
Get in there, Goldust!
[Vince] What is this now? Wait a minute.
Goldust at the microphone.
Hello.
You…
[audience yells]
If you people don't shut your mouths right now,
[audience yells louder]
I am personally gonna come out there and kiss
each and every one of you, so shut up!
[Vince] Again, more mind games.
[King] They better listen. He'll do it.
[Vince] That's him hobbling on his knee.
Come on, Ref! Let's go! Come on!
[King] Nobody would want to kiss The Warrior.
He's no Don Juan DeMarco.
[Vince] Goldust with Marlena and with a bodyguard.
I would suggest if I were Goldust,
I'd wanna bring more than a bodyguard.
Maybe the 82nd Airborne would be more like it.
[King] Don't worry about Goldust.
[Vince] Oh, he's crafty, all right.
[King] He's The Man With the Golden Arm, not to mention his Goldfinger.
He can get in there and do some good things.
[Vince] Goldfinger?
[King] Ah! Look at that!
[Vince] Toro! Ha! Ha!
Bullfighter.
[King] There you go, Marlena.
Look at her outfit. Is that To Die For?
[Vince] Would you please…
Goldust finally in the ring.
Don't tell me we're finally gonna get this match underway.
And we could be minutes away
from The Warrior once again being crowned Intercontinental Champion.
[King] Would you tell Warrior to stop the shenanigans here?
[Vince] Marlena gets her cigar back.
I think The Warrior is…
holding the cape of Goldust.
[King] These people are screaming now,
but when Goldust gets through with The Warrior,
All you'll hear is The Silence of the Lambs, McMahon.
Watch it. Don't turn your back on him.
[Vince] The Warrior continues to play mind games.
I must say, Goldust is flustered, to say the least.
The Warrior will do anything to get this underway.
[Goldust] He hurt my knee once.
[Vince] And finally, Goldust takes a seat.
Oh, please.
[King] Yeah, he's starting to get back to being the real Goldust now.
I think he and The Warrior are starting to do a little bonding, huh?
Maybe there's a Fatal Attraction happening. What do you think?
[Vince] Fatal Attraction? Would you please… Oh, come on with it!
And now The Warrior takes the cigar away from Marlena.
What is going on here?
[King] Oh, see there? What did I tell you?
[Vince] And look… extends his hand.
[King] There's that golden arm I was talking about.
Let him kiss your gold finger.
-Oh, look. -[Vince] Oh, he's gonna kiss--
[King] Oh, he put it…!
What in the world?
[Vince] Warrior… oh, a clothesline!
[King] What?
[Vince] What is this?
The referee is counting Goldust!
He's had enough. The ref has had enough.
[King] Look out!
[Vince] Goldust… what a way to save your title!
What a rotten thing to do!
What a cowardly thing to do!
-[King] Look at his bodyguard. -[Vince] What?
And The Ultimate Warrior on the outside.
And I think Goldust's bodyguard is trying to get out of here.
No, wait a minute.
-[King] He missed the exit. -[Vince] He certainly did.
-[Vince] He's in the ring now. -[King] Whoa!
[Vince] Wait a minute. The bodyguard hammering away on The Ultimate Warrior!
[bell rings]
[King] Look at this!
[King yells]
[Vince] And another clothesline!
[bell rings]
[Vince] The Warrior now from one side to the other, and…
-[King] Oh! -[Vince] Forget about it!
[King] Guy's an idiot, McMahon.
He's got the mind of the Nutty Professor.
[Vince] The Warrior with the jacket now, getting it off…
Oh, my goodness, ripping the whole thing off.
The Bodyguard hammering away!
-And… whoa! -[King] Oh, no!
["Unstable" by Jim Johnston playing]
[Vince] A huge bodyguard has just been slammed.
[announcer] The winner of this bout, as a result of a countdown…
[Vince] Winner of this bout?
[announcer] The Ultimate Warrior!
[King] Was that a bout?
[Vince] Well, I suppose officially, it was.
[King] You think Goldust may have seen his Last Picture Show?
[Vince] The Ultimate Warrior!
Victorious, and… oh, my goodness. What's he gonna do with that?
[King] You know what, McMahon? I ought to get up there right now
and knock his head around backward like The Exorcist.
[Vince] Would you please stop it with the… oh!
[King] Look at this idiot!
[Vince] There's a strange-looking sight for you!
["Unstable" by Jim Johnston continues]
[King] He's Flirting with Disaster now.
[Vince] The Ultimate Warrior entertaining this capacity crowd!
Standing by right now, ladies and gentlemen,
talking from the locker room area, we got Dok Hendrix. Dok…
Vince, I wanted to make you guys aware
of what's been going on back here for the last few moments.
The British bulldog has been going ballistic.
I don't know exactly what he's mad about.
He mentioned something about his wife, Diana,
but he keeps wanting to get into the dressing room of Shawn Michaels.
I don't know if Shawn's in there or somebody else,
but I'll keep following this story.
But he's been livid.
Calm down! Calm down!
-Just calm down. -Get him out!
Calm down!
-All right. -What is happening back there?
I really don't know.
Whether it's out in the locker room or out here, who knows?
What about that? That was bizarre.
What a cheap way of hanging on to the Intercontinental Championship,
knowing you're facing a man with the status of The Ultimate Warrior
-and what do you do? -What?
The man had his knee injured because of The Warrior.
-He simply walked out of the ring. -He didn't walk out of the ring.
-The Warrior-- -He should be ashamed of himself.
Uh-oh. Well, we know what time this is, ladies and gentlemen.
The Bad Guy Razor Ramon is about ready to lock up
with The Man They Call Vader.
What's gonna happen here, King?
[announcer] This contest is scheduled for…
Coming down the aisle with James Cornette…
[King] I've said this once before, I predict that when this match is over,
that mat cover, the floor of the ring,
is gonna look like the floor down at the local Jiffy Lube here
after they change the oil of about 15 of these tractors
these morons here in Nebraska drive.
[Vince] It's Vader time!
The Man They Call Vader recently injuring
an even larger man, if you can imagine that-- the mighty Yokozuna.
Had his chops knocked out from under him recently
by The Man They Call Vader.
It took place on RAW.
And here it comes. Wait a minute. Here we go.
Vader-- look at him hit those ropes.
Forty-fifty pounds on him, all right.
There's what we're talking about several weeks ago.
And then again.
A devastating move that took the knee right out.
We thought that the leg actually was broken.
However, thank goodness it wasn't.
Yokozuna apparently convalescing and will very soon, we are told,
return to action in the squared circle.
When he returns, I'm sure he'd love to get his paws on that monster we're looking at.
But wait a minute now!
-[announcer] From Miami, Florida… -[Vince] Yeah!
[announcer] …weighing 287 pounds,
The Bad Guy Razor Ramon!
[Vince] The only four-time Intercontinental Champion
in the history of the WWE right out of your garage now!
It's The Bad Guy, Razor Ramon.
[King] I wanna find out how bad is the Bad Guy, McMahon.
[Vince] We're about to find out.
["Bad Boy" by Jim Johnston playing]
[Vince] Razor Ramon shows no sign of intimidation whatsoever.
Look at the look in that man's eye.
[King] He'll show signs of intimidation after this match is over.
[Vince] That remains to be seen.
Razor Ramon against The Man They Call Vader.
Uh-oh. Here we go. Razor ready to rock the house!
Looking good, Mama! Looking good.
[King] One of these days, that oily hair of his is gonna ignite, McMahon.
He's gonna do his Michael Jackson impersonation.
[Vince] Razor ready for The Man They Call Vader.
[King] That's a good reason kids shouldn't be
allowed to play with scissors.
[Vince] America Online back in the locker room area.
-Action going on in the ring. -[bell rings]
[Vince] We stated before,
in the America Online ring-- room, rather--
the WWE Superstar room-- and oh, my goodness, I see.
Wow! Vader time!
And Cornette has seemed to recover to some degree--
Oh, my!
…from the scare of the snake.
Cornette turned absolutely white.
[King] I understand he had an external heart massage back there.
They called in a doctor--
[Vince] Well, if he has a heart, it would have to be external.
[King] You know, don't judge a prick by his lawyer.
I tell you Clarence Mason will sue the pants off you, McMahon.
[Vince] I have no doubt.
Here we go. Razor Ramon locking up with The Man They Call Vader.
Should be a highly competitive match, unlike other-- oh!
[King laughs] Uh, you were saying?
[Vince] Well…
It should be a highly competitive matchup.
Razor has never been thrown out of the ring
like he just was a moment ago.
[King] He's never been accused of being a brain surgeon, either.
[Vince] That's true.
[King] You gotta take The Man off his feet, Razor.
Ramon's not smart enough to realize that.
[Vince] He's smart enough to simply take it to you.
The street smarts of Razor Ramon.
[King] Yeah, street smarts. He's a street fighter.
You don't street fight somebody like Vader.
-[Vader grunts] -[Vince] Whoa!
[Vince laughs] Vader doing an excellent job of attempting
to intimidate Razor Ramon.
The Bad Guy against Razor Ramon.
[King] He has no nose.
-[Vince] What? -[King] Vader.
[Vince] Has no nose? It's just pushed in a bit.
And it may be pushed in a little more after this match.
Yokozuna no doubt somewhere watching this event on pay-per-view.
I'm sure he would very much like to be involved in the matchup.
[King] Check him for grease, Ref. Nobody slides away from Vader like that.
[Vince] We mentioned the Superstar Line earlier.
We are told Marlena is currently on the WWE Superstar Line.
I wonder what she has to say.
[King] Probably telling everyone what that cigar taste like
after Warrior had it in his mouth. Blech!
[Vince] And Vader going to work on the midsection.
-[King] That'll snap a rib. -Oh!
[Vince] Certainly will.
Vader an absolute mastodon!
Vader is a monster. He's a mastodon.
[Vader grunts]
[Vince] And I'm surprised that Vader has been…
[King] What is that? A Nebraska cheerleader?
-[Vince] Stop it. -[Vader grunts]
[Vince] I'm surprised we have not seen more offense out of Razor Ramon.
[Vader grunts]
-[King] He's dominating him, man. -[Vince] Yes, he is. You're right, he is.
Vader's gonna take you out!
[Vince] Verbal warfare on the outside with Jim Cornette.
[King] You remember when Cornette said that
Razor Ramon made a lot of bad business decisions lately?
This is the biggest one yet. Oh!
Oh! Man!
[Vince] Strong right hand from Razor Ramon!
Let's see how Vader can take it.
Vader… uh-oh!
Cheap shot by Vader, turning things around.
[King] It's a cheap shot when it comes from Vader,
but from Ramon, it's a big right hand.
[Vince] It was a right hand.
-Oh! Forget about it! -What was that?
[Vince] That was a devastating clothesline.
[King] This guy pitches horseshoes, McMahon,
without taking them off the horse.
[Vince] I'd be inclined to agree with that. Look at this.
Four hundred and fifty pounds of a monster.
A mastodon they call Vader.
What must Razor do to defeat Vader?
From the other side now. Oh, from the near side.
-Oh, hard right hand to the jaw! -[audience cheers]
-[Vince] Razor with another one. -[King] Cheap shot. Cheap shot.
[Vince] That's not a cheap shot. And another one.
Oh, here we go. Set him up. Here we go!
Over the top to the outside!
-[King] Hey, look out! -[Vince] Razor Ramon right back in there.
Vader can't believe that Razor Ramon came to fight.
That's exactly what he came to Nebraska to do.
[King] Come on, Vader. Put an end to it.
[Vince] Oh, no! Look at this!
Look at Razor go! Look at him go!
Vader just about defenseless!
And Cornette…
[King] Razor Ramon taking a page out of Vader's book.
He used a fist on The Man! He used a fist!
[King] Get Clarence Mason out here.
[Vince] A left jab there and a hard right hand.
The street fighter, yes indeed.
Razor Ramon cups the jaw, and…
Oh, yeah!
How about and what about The Man They Call Vader now, King?
What about him, huh?
Here comes the Bad Guy with a clothesline!
Razor off the rope and another one!
Vader having great difficulty. Vader is in trouble.
Razor Ramon takes him all the way to the outside!
[King] I think he knocked his head off.
[Vince] He may have. Vader is down. He may stay down.
I'm sure Vader did not count on Razor Ramon
coming straight at him as he has been. And he may be…
Vader may be in such difficulty, he may not get back in the ring.
[King] Razor Ramon is gonna cause Cornette to have
another seizure here if we're not careful.
[Vince] Vader trying to shake it off.
Oh, my goodness. The Bad Guy bringing it to The Man They Call Vader.
-[King] Knocked a little loopy. -[Vince] And obviously,
Vader can't take it as well as he can dish it out.
Did not wanted to be counted out.
Breaks the count does Vader and rolls right back out.
Vader trying to buy himself more time,
trying to clear those cobwebs, if you would.
[King] I think Razor made the mistake of his life.
Don't make this guy angry. He's a real loose cannon, McMahon.
You saw what he did to Yokozuna when he got mad.
What do you think he'll do to Razor Ramon if he gets really angry?
[Vince] Again, Vader just breaking the count,
coming in and then right back out.
What kind of a competitor is this man?
I thought he was the kind of guy that was gonna bring it to you.
Vader showing signs of yellow down his back
now that Razor Ramon has turned the tide.
-You weren't gonna say it. -[King] Yeah, well…
You wanna know what kind of competitor he is?
Pick up your phone. Call Yokozuna in the hospital.
[Vince] Cornette distracting Razor Ramon!
Cornette trying to distract Razor. Here comes Vader!
-And he comes in for the… -[King] No!
[Vince] Razor playing opossum. Razor timed that one just right.
Reversal now. It's Razor Ramon to the buckle now, and… oh!
Vader in control.
Perhaps not for long. Off and… oh, what a clothesline!
-[King] Wow. -[Vince] A devastating one.
Big MAC truck, big rhino in there. Big mastodon.
Vader has been taking it to Razor Ramon just in the last few seconds of the match.
[King] I think old Mo made a U-turn and came right back, didn't he?
-[Vince] "Old Mo?" -[King] Momentum.
-Right… whoa! -[Vince] Wow!
[Vince] Vader drops the elbow.
[King] Razor trying to move out of the way,
but he couldn't quite make it.
[audience] Razor! Razor!
-[King] Oh, listen to these morons. -[Vince] And Vader…
hears this capacity crowd encourage Razor.
Forget about it! Oh!
Oh, this should do it! Two… no!
A kick-out by Razor Ramon.
These people are gonna make him mad.
The Bad Guy has been able to kick out.
Razor Ramon against Vader,
and you wonder what sort of tactics…
-[King] Oh, wow! There's a hit! -[Vince] …Vader has in store.
This one's not pretty. This is not a scientif--
Oh, right across the jaw! Oh, my goodness!
[King] Hit him in the face again. I love it.
-[Vince] Would you please…? -[King] Uh-oh. And… what?
[Vince] Wait a minute. Wait a minute!
-Yes! Yes! -[King] No way!
-How did he do that, McMahon? -[Vince] Suplex nicely done!
A cover! One! He's got him! Two! And… no!
Vader just able to get that left shoulder up.
You hear that, "Oh!"
That disappointing groan from this capacity crowd.
[King] That's right.
The wind went right out of their sails. I love that.
It's a great sound.
[Vince] Vader hammering away to the midsection.
Very, very powerful punches from The Man They Call Vader.
Vader with Razor. What's he gonna do with him?
-[King] Oh! -[Vince] Oh! Wow! Uh-oh.
Razor has that look on his face
like 'what must I do?' Oh, don't tell me…
[King] I think it's fixing to be-- check your watch real quick.
Tell me if it's Vader Time.
-[Vince] Vader going up. -[King] It's Vader time!
[Vince] Are we gonna see a Vader Bomb?
Vader sets up Razor, and… oh, no!
And that could do it! Two, and… kick-out!
He kicked out! He kicked out!
-[King] What? -[Vince] He absolutely kicked out!
[King] That was a three count.
[Vince] That was close. I'm not sure it wasn't a three count.
-[King] Give him another one. -[Vince] It looked close.
The official was right there,
-and Razor kicking out of the Vader Bomb. -[audience] Razor! Razor!
[King] Shut up! Shut up!
-Uh-oh. Ooh! -[Vince] Hard right hand!
Razor cups the jaw of Vader.
Razor's eyes are-- they were clear until that right hand.
Vader with a headbutt!
Vader setting up Razor now, and…
Oh, slams him down to the canvas!
[King] He's fixing to do him like he did Gorilla Monsoon.
[Vince] What do you mean?
[King] A couple more of those Vader Bombs.
[Vince] Razor Ramon in trouble.
This match has taken a great deal out of Vader as well.
I think a lot of fans just might be surprised
how much we've seen Vader and Razor go at it here.
Boy, nip and tuck all the way, and oh!
[King] Big mastodon knee.
[Vince] You can bet WWE President Gorilla Monsoon
watching this matchup with great interest.
[King] You kidding? Gorilla Monsoon can't even stand to look at Vader.
[both] Oh!
[Vince] Devastating rights and lefts right on the head!
Another one! Goodness!
Vader just… Look at him just clocking Razor.
Dominating him now.
-[King] Going for that head, McMahon. -[Vince] What?
[King] Watch this. Oh!
[Vince] Razor being set up by Vader.
Vader may be suffering a bit from…
Wait a minute. What's this?
Vader trying to set up Razor. What's he gonna do?
No! That's blocked.
Another attempt blocked.
-And Vader… -[King] No!
[Vince] Can you believe this?
I bet Vader can't believe this! A cover!
One, two… ah, not quite.
-Not quite. -[King] Vader's 450 pounds.
-How did Razor Ramon do that? -[Vince] Don't ask me.
Somehow, the Bad Guy bringing it from way down below.
Vader with a clothesline! There you go.
We stated before, no scientific skill being displayed in this matchup.
[King] Huh?
[Vince] This is like Sunday school compared
to what you're gonna see No Holds Barred.
-Look at that. -[King] I can't believe that.
[Vince] Back to live action now.
-[King] That shows you right there. -[Vince] Anybody's match.
-Anybody can win this one. -[King] Yeah, in your dreams.
-That shows you right there. -[Vince] Shows me what?
[King] That Razor Ramon can throw everything
he's got in his arsenal at Vader,
-and it's not gonna affect him. -[Vince] What?
[King] You say it's anybody's matchup. I say that Razor Ramon--
[Vince] Oh, wait a minute! That's gonna do it! A quick cover!
-Two, and… no, he didn't. -[King] Got it!
-See, look. Can't hurt him. -[Vince] Wow!
Vader in trouble, in big-time trouble now.
[King] No, he's not.
[Vince] The Bad Guy coming in with a clothesline!
Forty and fifty pounds and reverses things on Razor.
Here comes Vader, and Vader runs right into the boot.
Right on the jaw!
Here comes Razor Ramon with an opportunity to put this away!
[both] Oh!
[Vince] The Bad Guy… A cover! The count… Two, and he… oh!
[King] You can't put Vader away.
[Vince] Oh, no? You just keep watching, King.
Here comes Razor… oh!
[King laughs]
[Vince] Razor running into that proverbial brick wall.
[King] Razor Ramon is like Susan Lucci at the Daytime Emmys.
[Vince] What?
[King laughs] Happy to be here, but he knows he ain't gonna win.
Come on, pound him, Vader!
[Vince] Vader has been doing just that. He has been pounding Razor Ramon.
And the Bad Guy, the wily street-smart veteran,
Razor Ramon still very much in this matchup.
Anything can happen here in the WWE.
Vader ponders, perhaps, another Vader Bomb.
Here he goes! Razor gets up!
Razor's on his feet, and a shot to the kidneys. And another one.
-[King] Backfired. -[Vince] Oh, here it comes!
Here comes the Razor's Edge!
Here it comes, and… oh!
[King] He can't get him.
There's been too much taken out of Razor Ramon.
[Vince] Looks like the rib area of Razor
has been affected to the extent that he could not complete…
Oh! That devastating…
Look at this now. Vader setting up Razor Ramon.
The Razor's Edge was almost felt by this big mastodon just a moment ago,
but now things are back in control for Vader.
-[King] Starting to feel sorry for Razor. -[Vince] What?
[King] Nah.
-[Vince] Vader goes up! -[King] Oh, no!
[Vince] Vader goes all the way up! And once again, Razor…
Razor hammering the kidney area.
[King] What is Razor doing? Is he crazy?
[Vince] And… down!
[King] No!
[Vince] Razor Ramon saving himself once again.
Just put your arm across him, Razor!
[King] I don't know who got hurt worse on that, McMahon.
[Vince] Vader took an incredible blow from the top rope.
Just cover him, Razor. Just cover him! No.
Now Vader starting to move.
-[King] Look at that. -[Vince] Let's look at it again.
[King] On the back of his head from the top rope.
-[Vince] Unbelievable! -[King] Oh!
[Vince] And now, back to live action.
Here we go now! Here comes the Razor's Edge!
Oh, he's gets up… just again!
[King laughs]
[Vince] Oh, no! On the chest!
A cover! Oh, no!
[bell rings]
[announcer] In a--, The Man They Call Vader!
["Mastodon" by Jim Johnson playing]
[King] Somebody get the squeegee!
[Vince] A hard-fought matchup all the way.
Vader against the Bad Guy Razor Ramon.
[King] Ramon's really oozing some machismo now, isn't he?
[Vince] Give Razor some credit, ladies and gentlemen.
A great competitor.
And boy, did he ever take The Man They Call Vader
to limits we have never seen before.
Nonetheless…
Jim Cornette, with The Man They Call Vader,
the victory is that big mastodon.
-You're The Man! -Who's The Man, baby?
Who's The Man? Talk to me!
-[King] You're The Man, baby. -[Vince] Yeah, you're The Man, all right.
-Wait a minute. Here's Dok Hendrix. -Excuse me, gentlemen.
Great victory there. A tremendous matchup.
-I've got some new for you. -Better think it's a great victory.
I just spoke with President Gorilla Monsoon,
and he said subject to you winning this match, which you did,
that you guys will be in the next In Your House on May 26.
-And we should be! -And he's chosen your opponent.
-Who? -It'll be the 650-pound mammoth, Yokozuna.
-Yokozuna? You can't… -What?
Wait a minute! It can't be Yokozuna!
He's out! He's hurt! It can't be Yokozuna!
He can't wrestle!
He said that he was ready and that he couldn't wait any longer.
Let me tell you something, Yokozuna.
You've made a big mistake. You're stepping into the danger zone next.
Razor Ramon, by the time we got finished with him,
he looked like Margot Kidder.
And Yokozuna, first it was your leg.
Next time, it's gonna be your whole body.
You want it to be that way? You're stepping into the Vader zone.
[Vince] All right, thank you very much, Dok.
[Dok] Back to you at ringside.
[Vince] And I can't wait for that one.
Yokozuna one-on-one against Vader
when next month we revisit In Your House.
["Mastodon" by Jim Johnston continues]
[Vince] All right, ladies and gentlemen,
we talk about before cyberspace earlier on.
Well, there he is. Guess who's in cyberspace.
Oh, my goodness.
[King] I'd rather guess who's inside that urn.
[Vince] The superstars of World Wrestling Entertainment live on cyberspace--
America Online right now. Get all the scoops.
I wonder what's going on there?
Never can tell with The Undertaker.
[Todd] Hey, this is the Toddster.
The weather is heating up, and you need to look cool.
And there's no better way
than with this sport shirt and hat package,
featuring three of the most popular superstars
in World Wrestling Entertainment.
You know what I mean by "sport shirt." Like a polo shirt.
Check out that embroidery, huh?
The WWE Champion, Shawn Michaels.
Another option is the shirt of The Ultimate Warrior,
that unbelievable ball of fire.
And for you Undertaker fans, we have The Undertaker sport shirt.
Now, with The Undertaker sport shirt, of course, you get The Undertaker hat.
Again, featuring 100% embroidery.
With The Ultimate Warrior sport shirt, you get The Ultimate Warrior hat.
And with the Shawn Michaels sport shirt, you get the Shawn Michaels hat.
There is no better way to look cool and happening
than with the sport shirt and hat package.
[announcer] World Wrestling Entertainment's tag team champions,
Skip and Zip!
[Vince] All right, summoning The Bodydonnas.
Jam-packed capacity crowd on hand In Your House.
We appreciate the privilege of being In Your House on pay-per-view.
Thus far-- whoa-- all kinds of things happening,
and who knows what's to come?
Tag team championship matchup, of course,
and then right after that, batten down the hatches,
because, oh, my goodness, we're talking No Holds Barred WWE style.
I want the world to take a good look in the ring right now.
A real good look, because when Sunny and The Bodydonnas are around,
you never know what you're gonna see.
[Vince] Oh, please. Phineas a bit awestruck.
[King] Look at all these pigs running around the ring.
I wish they were Oscar Meyer wieners right now.
[Vince] Let's be nice.
Phineas, the more gullible of the Godwinn family.
-[King] Gullible? -[Vince] Gullible.
[King] Is that a new word for stupid?
-Look at Jethro. -[Vince] Not Jethro.
[King] "Hi, Mama?" Like his mama's got a TV.
[Vince] I tell you this,
you don't wanna get him all riled up as they say.
If you do, I don't care who you are, you're in trouble.
[King] Phineas hasn't been the same since that tractor accident, McMahon.
-[Vince] Tractor accident? -[King] Yeah.
He's got a bumper sticker on the back of his pickup truck
that says "I Break For Blondes" like he's some kind of ladies' man.
He couldn't get a date on a tombstone.
[Vince] All right, here we go.
That's Zip in there against Henry.
A little Arkansas cologne to start things off.
[King] Yeah, Henry's real proud.
He won first place in the state fair
for the cussing, spitting, and chewing contest.
[Vince] The scuffling contest as well, and…!
Uh-oh… and come on! Double team effort.
This official's gonna have a great deal of difficulty
in this tag team championship matchup.
And you can bet he's gonna allow a little… oh, my!
[audience cheers]
[Vince] The official likely to allow a little bending of the rules,
because The Bodydonnas, as we saw earlier in the Goldust match,
-know how to protect the title. -[King] Hey, look out!
The got that slop bucket! Get away! Get away!
[Vince] Skip wanting to tag in, but no such doings.
[King] Stay away from the bucket of slop.
Can you smell that slop, McMahon, or did you think it was your cologne?
[Vince] Let's be nice.
That's fresh air out here in Nebraska,
and there's plenty of fresh air out here.
[King] What's he doing? He's biting him!
[Vince] No, he's not biting him.
Phineas in control, working on the wrist area.
When it comes to scientific knowledge and skill,
don't expect a great deal out of Phineas.
Actually, for that matter, or Henry.
When it comes to scuffling, when it comes to just getting…
Wait a minute. Tag is made. Here comes Zip's tag team partner, Zip.
[King] When it comes to women, they're way out of their league with Sunny.
She's been around more than a carousel, McMahon.
-[Vince] And… oh, wait a minute! -[Sunny screams]
[Vince] From behind now… oh!
Skip for a moment in big-time trouble.
He escaped. Off the rope, and… down! Look at that.
Henry the battering ram.
From the other side now, Henry Godwinn, in mid-air, catches Skip.
As he hoists him up… Oh!
[King] Come on, Sunny, show him something.
[Vince] What are you talking about?
[King] Sunny, she was 20 years old before she found out cars had backseats.
-[Vince] What was that? -[King] I said she was 20 years old
before she found out cars had back-- front seats.
-[Vince] Never mind. -[King] Front seats. Front seats, McMahon.
[Vince] Okay, never mind.
And… oh!
Forget about it! Cover him!
Rolling to the outside, saving his title.
[King] He made a little mistake. Don't worry.
[Vince] Hey, wait a minute. They reversed things.
That's Zip in there. It's supposed to be Skip.
[King] Huh? No, that's Zip.
[Vince] Hey, wait a minute. The official…
Oh, it's gonna be… no, no, no.
The official caught that. They look so much alike.
It's really difficult to tell these two apart.
-They're not twins. -[King] Quit talking about Sunny.
[Vince] What?
I'm talking about competition. Here we go.
Yep, and Phineas back in there.
Thus far, Phineas has been able to focus on action in the ring.
Oh, my goodness! Ever since the match began,
he's been avoiding any eye contact whatsoever--
look at that-- with Sunny.
Outsmarted on the last exchange, however, by Zip.
[King] I guess.
[Vince] Zip getting the big hog farmer to the other side now.
Zip… uh-oh, what's this? Oh! That's what it is.
And Phineas… oh!
Phineas with Zip in a little bit of trouble now.
[King] He's trying to get a peek at Sunny.
[Vince] Off the rope, we've got Phineas. Oh, no! Ow!
[King laughs] Ouch!
[Vince] And action on the outside.
And Skip pulled the top rope down, and Phineas unfortunately
suffered the consequences.
And now Phineas is ready to be pinned.
A cover! One, two, and he…
No, he didn't get him. Wow, that was close.
And Sunny now at a loss for words.
Not too happy with the officiating at the moment.
All right, Skip back in there.
[King] Come on, Sunny. We're waiting for it, baby.
[Vince] Cornhuskers out in this capacity crowd,
trying to encourage Phineas.
Uh-oh. Look at this maneuver! Double team action!
Slingshot suplex. He hooks the leg!
Two, and… a kick-out by Phineas.
Wow.
And… uh-oh, dropping the knee.
[Sunny] Come on!
[King] McMahon, what do you call two Dirty Teddy bears
and a tractor that won't start?
[Vince] Two Dirty Teddy bears and a tractor that won't start?
[King] Yeah. That's the Nebraska State Fair.
[Vince] All right. Snapmare nicely executed, actually.
In control of things now, we've got Skip in there.
Thus far, Skip and Zip, with a little help from Sunny,
have been doing a pretty good job, actually,
of keeping Phineas from tagging in his partner, Henry.
[King] There's two things about Sunny-- she will always have her team prepared,
and she'll always have a little extra surprise in store for their opponents.
[Vince] Slammy Award-winning Sunny, not only for Best Buns,
but for being the best manager, believe it or not.
Off the rope and missing with a clothesline.
-And wait a minute! -[King] Look at this!
That was nicely executed.
[Vince] Frankenstein and a cover!
-We got one, two… -[King] Got him, got him.
[Vince] No, that was close. That was very close.
Sunny sensing victory for her Bodydonnas.
The Bodydonnas, the WWE tag team champions.
Who would've thunk it, so to speak?
[King] Come on, McMahon. Uh-oh. Here goes old Phineas.
[Vince] Phineas has been isolated thus far.
[King] He's riled up!
-Uh-oh! -[Vince] Yes, you're right.
Whoa, watch out!
[King] Sunny… where's Sunny going?
Look what I got here.
[Vince] Wait a minute. Sunny coming back to the ringside area.
-[King] What's she got? -[Vince] Henry Godwinn coming in
and cleaning house. Henry Godwinn waiting for that tag.
[King] But look at Phineas over there.
[Vince] And… oh, yeah!
The Godwinns on the way to the tag team championship.
Oh! Forget about it!
Wait a minute. Sunny just handed…
[King] Sunny gave Phineas an autographed picture.
[Vince] Oh, a drop!
[audience yells louder]
-[Vince] Turn around, Ref! -[King] Oh, no!
[Vince] Hey, wait a minute.
Hey, wait a minute! That's not the legal man in there.
Just leave it right there.
[King] Hillbilly Jim put Sunny's picture down in that bucket of slop!
[Vince] Wait a minute! One, two… oh, no!
[bell rings]
["Addonas" by Jim Johnston playing]
[Vince] The Bodydonnas have pulled a fast one.
[announcer] The World Wrestling Entertainment tag team champions…
-The Bodydonnas! -[King] Sunny has done it again.
[Vince] Oh, no!
[King] She's still got the best team and the best buns.
[Vince] I can't believe it.
Phineas is a bit more than smitten.
Look at him. He must feel badly.
-He looks on. -[King] Sure looks badly.
You think Sunny would have anything to do with that idiot?
That's exactly what I'm doing, and I'm gonna keep it as long as I want.
What do you say about that?
-[King] Yum-yum. -[Vince] Oh, forget about it!
Forget it!
And look at this.
Hank slams that picture of Sunny down in the slop where it belongs.
"With all my love. To Pig." Give me a break.
-It belongs in the slop bucket… -[King] What?
[Vince] …because obviously she doesn't care anything at all for Pig.
Pig feels badly. Sort of let himself down.
Surely let the team down as well. A little dejected.
[King] No female would care anything about Pig.
I heard a hooker told him, "Not on the first date."
[laughs] Look at Pig.
[Vince] Hillbilly Jim… out there hugging old Phineas.
So after this, Phineas will be a little more focused.
Hey. Slop bucket and all.
[King] Look, look, look.
He loves that picture!
-[Vince] What'd he do? -[Phineas] Look out.
[Vince] Unbelievable!
Phineas just put a picture of Sunny in his overalls!
[announcer] Ah, Memorial Day memories.
The barbecues, the beaches, the drive to Aunt Edna's.
Not again!
[announcer] This year, put some real fun into your holiday weekend
with World Wrestling Entertainment on pay-per-view.
The massive Yokozuna wants revenge
and seeks to unload 641 pounds of vengeance
on his barbaric nemesis, The Man called Vader.
The Wildman Marc Mero brings a high-risk aerial assault into the ring,
who administered some attitude adjustment on Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
Savio Vega desperately wants to settle the score
with the man who cost him the Intercontinental Championship,
Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Plus, the WWE Championship will be defended,
Sunday night, May 26, the only place to be is In Your House
with World Wrestling Entertainment on pay-per-view.
All right, and we do know now
that Marc Mero will get his opportunity
to meet Hunter Hearst Helmsley at the next In Your House.
Right now, I'd like to bring in The Wildman.
Obviously, there's no love lost between you and Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
It started with Sable at WrestleMania 12.
After what happened earlier tonight in the Free-for-All,
when he jumped you from behind during your match with The 1-2-3 Kid,
you must be anxious to get your hands on him.
You know, Dok, I ask myself why-- why…
why anybody would reach in the cage and unlatch the hook
and release The Beast within.
Hunter Hearst Helmsley, you stuck your silver spoon where it doesn't belong.
When you messed with Sable, you loosened the shackles.
When you messed with The Wildman, you unleashed the fury
that is going to destroy you at In Your House.
You have now entered the jungle,
and you'll have to answer the call of the wild.
Wildman, let's take a look at what exactly did happen at the Free-for-All
when you were obviously taking care of The 1-2-3 Kid.
Here comes Hunter Hearst Helmsley in street clothes,
attacks you from behind.
You held your own there for a moment,
but eventually, he got the Pedigree on you.
That couldn't have felt good.
[Wildman] Dok, the Pedigree's gonna be nothing
compared to what I'm gonna do to Hunter Hearst Helmsley at In Your House.
You have unleashed The Beast within.
Sable will be there right by my side,
and you will see what The Wildman is made of.
[Dok] All right, thank you very much. Back to you at ringside.
[Vince] Thank you very much, Dok.
We look forward to joining you once again next month.
On May 26, we come again live to you on pay-per-view.
And by the way, the first 2,500 individuals
who send in your proof of joining us tonight--
of course, your cable or satellite bill--
of purchasing April's In Your House-- tonight's In Your House--
you can join us and get a free phone card.
Five minutes of free long distance.
Maybe you can pick one up, King, and stop calling collect.
[King] What? Hey, take a look at that Sunny card.
[Vince] Yeah. What about it?
Wait till you see the flip side of it.
So if you're watching right now, send your cable bill in or your satellite bill
-and get the Sunny phone card. -Ladies and gentlemen,
we're talking about In Your House on May 26,
but let's talk about what we're about to see tonight.
We're about to see Shawn Michaels, whose dream came true at WrestleMania.
He became the WWE Champion
and now must face his former best friend.
They were good friends.
No doubt he and Diesel will make better enemies.
But No Holds Barred, King?
-No Holds Barred, sure. -Is Shawn Michaels ready for that?
No, he's not. He proved to the world that he can wrestle.
He's a mat technician. He's the best, I guess,
because he beat Bret "The Hitman" Hart.
In the Ironman matchup, we saw just about every scientific move you could see.
But I suggest No Holds Barred, that's a completely different picture.
You know how many scientific holds you're gonna see tonight? Zilch, baby.
I'm telling you Big Daddy Cool Diesel can throw the rule Book out the window.
He is going to ruin your life. Do you hear that, Shawn Michaels?
Do you remember that? Ruin your life!
All right, let's show you some of the events that led to this matchup.
[announcer] They have been partners and adversaries,
champions and rivals.
Through it all, there has been a unique bond.
They were good friends, but now they make better enemies.
In a No Holds Barred war for the WWE Championship,
Shawn Michaels and Diesel will, once and forever,
destroy a bond that has tied them together through hell and high water.
For Shawn Michaels, it's been a lifelong dream
to become the WWE Champion.
In his quest, he hired a 7-foot monster by the name of Diesel
as protection along the way.
Familiarity bred a friendship and eventually a partnership
and even a championship.
Consequently, they coveted a common goal.
But there can only be one WWE Champion.
Their success soured to resentment.
A mutual mistrust ultimately led to a bitter parting.
It was Big Daddy Cool who realized the dream first.
As WWE Champion, it appeared that Diesel
would lead The New Generation into the next millennium.
But a year of being champion made Diesel miserable.
Grueling matches and the burden of leadership
were too much for the 7-footer's shoulders.
On the other hand, a year of disaster for Shawn led to the title.
A series of incredible setbacks strengthened Shawn as a man
and as a WWE Superstar.
A return to his roots and to his dream
found Shawn knocking on the door to the WWE title.
And at WrestleMania 12, he kicked it in.
Shawn defeated the legend many consider
to be the greatest WWE Champion of all time, Bret Hart.
The same man who ended Diesel's reign as champion.
Now, it is Shawn Michaels who proudly carries the torch of The New Generation.
Ironically, the man who once protected Shawn along the road to the title
is the same man who intends to run Shawn down--
and in the process, shatter his dream and destroy his life.
The 7-foot punk with a chip on his shoulder
has lured his former ally into a No Holds Barred Match
for the WWE Championship.
Now, the bond that ties them is contempt.
At In Your House, their bond will be broken forever.
One man will walk away champion, having destroyed an ex-friend.
One man will walk away having lost everything.
You know, Big Daddy Cool Diesel and Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels,
their friendship has reached the end of the road.
And I promised The Kliq a party tonight,
and it ain't gonna happen until the Chin Music is cued
and myself and The Kliq are dancing all over Big Daddy Cool's face.
And believe me, one way or another, it's gonna happen.
I tell you one thing. Hey, Vince, are you gonna be out there tonight?
Somewhere tonight, I got a little something for you, all right?
I don't know when it's gonna happen,
but I got a little something for you tonight.
Something for all you fans out there, you little "Kliq-sters."
'Cause you know what? It's live,
and when it's live, I'm digging it the most.
[Dok] All right, there you hear it, Vince.
Beware, and back to you.
-[King laughs] McMahon? -[Vince] Yeah, I understand that.
[King] Are you speechless? McMahon is speechless, ladies and gentlemen.
[Vince] Here we go now, ladies and gentlemen!
Here he comes!
[bell rings]
[Vince] Former World Wrestling Entertainment champion,
[announcer] This contest scheduled for tonight is a No Holds Barred Match
for the World Wrestling Entertainment Championship.
["Diesel Blues" by Jim Johnston playing]
[announcer] About to come down the aisle is the challenger.
From Detroit, Michigan weighting 317 pounds,
Big Daddy Cool Diesel!
[Vince] Oh, my goodness. No Holds Barred, ladies and gentlemen,
of course, means no disqualification, no count-out.
There must be a positive winner no matter what happens.
Did you bring in the kitchen sink?
We're gonna finally find out. No Holds Barred--
Yeah, good friends? They'll make better enemies.
-[King] Where you going? -[Vince] Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
[King] McMahon, you are sweating. You are really perspiring.
I've never… are you scared? Are you worried? Huh?
[Vince] Listen, there's no telling what this man is gonna do.
There's no telling at all.
Shawn Michaels has no idea what he's gonna do.
[King] He's told the world what he's gonna do, McMahon.
He's got something in store for you.
He despises you, he can't stand you,
and he's gonna do something to you.
[King] And I'm gonna be sitting right here to see it.
[Vince] Shawn Michaels is gonna do something to him.
And there's a look at Shawn Michaels with Jose Lothario.
And a look at that monster.
-[King] Hey, you know, Shawn… -[Vince] See the look on Shawn's face?
[King] Yeah, he didn't look too good, did he?
["Diesel Blues" by Jim Johnston continues]
Big Daddy Cool, you're the man! Uh-oh.
[Vince] Again, Shawn Michaels-- very intense.
Jose Lothario…
Jose Lothario earlier on…
[King] Whoa!
[Vince] In the WWE Free-for-All…
What's this? What's this?
[King] They didn't see that.
Big Daddy Cool just threw his big, heavy leather vest down
and right on McMahon's head.
I am really starting to like Big Daddy Cool.
[Vince] Yeah.
Jose Lothario in the back.
-And actually, Jose… -[King] Hey! Hey!
-There's Mad Dog. -[Vince] A potential future Hall of Famer,
saying hello to man who lives here in Omaha, ladies and gentlemen.
We're talking about Mad Dog Vachon,
whose career was cut short in an automobile accident.
Mad Dog out here.
Of course, he and his brother, The Butcher Vachon,
were an extraordinary tag team combination years ago in the WWE.
You wanna talk extraordinary. I won't get any more extraordinary
than that man right there. The leader of the new WWE generation.
[King] Look, Jose Lothario is telling him.
He's saying, "I think you can do it. Do you think you can do it?
Come on, I know you can. I think you can."
He can't do it, though.
[audience screams]
[Vince] We're talking No Holds Barred, WWE style!
[announcer] From San Antonio, Texas, weighing 227 pounds…
[Vince] Here we go!
[announcer] The WWE Champion… The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels!
[Vince] Oh, my goodness.
Oh, boy!
Look out!
["Sexy Boy" by It Lives It Breathes playing]
[Vince] Here we go! Oh, look at this!
Michaels going to work on Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
Here's action. A hard right hand. Hard right hand.
Underneath is Diesel. Diesel, look at this,
taking it a number of times on the chin. Another wild swing.
Shawn Michaels hammering away. Oh, that knee.
That huge 300-pound monster, right in the chest area,
turning things around right away.
No Holds Barred. Anything goes.
[King] Shawn Michaels said he was gonna kick his 7-foot derriere.
[laughs] Well, he's got a lot of kicking to do.
[Vince] Big Daddy Cool Diesel against Shawn Michaels.
Michaels set up for the ride, and Michaels now with a nice maneuver.
And, yes! Oh, to the outside!
And Shawn Michaels…
showing Big Daddy Cool Diesel a thing or two about speed and agility.
Look out! Here he comes! Ha!
Michaels now, what's he gonna do?
Wait a minute. Shawn Michaels going up to the top rope!
-[King] He can do it. Look out! -[Vince] Unbelievable!
[King] Ah!
[Vince] Shawn Michaels has been noted for taking risks.
-[King] What's he doing now? -[Vince] I don't know.
Shawn is all the way over on this side of the ring. What's he doing?
He just… he just grabbed a boot!
[King] He pulled a boot off of the Spanish announcer.
[Vince] He certainly did.
Hugo Savinovich has had his boot pulled off by Michaels!
And it's legal! Oh, forget about it!
[King] Wait a minute, McMahon.
I didn't know that kind of stuff was legal!
[Vince] Everything is legal. Anything is legal.
A cover! Diesel knocked out, and it's over!
No, it's not. Thought it was over just like that.
[King] When they said No Holds Barred, I thought they meant holds.
I didn't know you could hit them with the kitchen sink.
Come on, Diesel!
[Vince] Diesel set up now. Diesel in trouble.
Oh, no… Oh! Forget about it!
Oh, no! Whoa, no!
-Unbelievable velocity there. -[King] That did it.
[Vince] Big Daddy Cool Diesel with a sledgehammer
to just knock Shawn Michaels right into the railing.
-Let's take another look at it here. -[King] Oh, no, this is not it.
[Vince] That's earlier on. That's what Michaels did.
Lots of chances he was taking,
and he's gonna have to take some big-time chances to beat this monster.
Diesel… Look at this.
Methodically stalking Shawn Michaels.
Michaels has proven to be resilient.
Let's go back and take another look to see
how Shawn Michaels wound up on the outside. Watch this.
Michaels all the way up. Unbelievable velocity.
-[King] But watch this. -[Vince] Look at… unbe--
Watch. Body to the rail!
And now Diesel threw Michaels right back in.
Pin or submission-- the only two ways this match will end.
[King] As long as Diesel can dictate the pace, McMahon,
he'll be in control, and he'll be the new champion.
[audience screams]
[King] Oh, you people. You're not having any effect on Big Daddy Cool!
-[Vince] Diesel… -[King] What are you gonna do, McMahon?
Look at him slaughtering Shawn Michaels.
When Shawn Michaels can't help you and Diesel comes for you,
what are you gonna do? Are you gonna run in front of everybody?
-I'm not gonna help you. -[Vince] I don't expect any help from you.
-And Diesel with a clothesline! -[King] You want me to help you?
Would you like for me to?
-[audience booing] -[King laughs]
[Vince] Look at him. Look at that look on his face.
Look at that look of disdain on the face of Diesel.
-Stop it. -What?
[Vince] Diesel all over Shawn Michaels, gloating.
Scoop. Uh-oh.
Oh, my.
Oh! Drops him down, the snake eyes.
[King] You know what Big Daddy Cool is saying right now?
"Let's hear it for The Kliq!"
[King laughs]
-[Vince] Yeah. -[King] Oh, what…
Come on, there he is, huh?
-[Vince] Michaels… -[King] Kill him. Want me to help you?
[Vince] No, I just wish you'd stop this and lay out of this, actually.
[Nash] Hey, old man, this is how we do it in the '90s.
[Vince] Oh!
[King] He's talking to that old geezer ringside.
[Vince] Big Daddy Cool Diesel taunting Jose Lothario.
He doesn't care who he puts the bad mouth on.
No respect whatsoever shown by Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
[King] Sit down, Jose, before you have a stroke.
[Vince] Jose Lothario trying to encourage Shawn Michaels on.
Believe me, Michaels could use all the encouragement
he could possibly get at the moment.
[King] Look, he's trying to pull himself up.
Shawn Michaels is giving up 90 pounds in this match, McMahon.
He doesn't have a chance! Look, he picked him up like a feather!
He's gonna throw him on you, McMahon!
[Vince] Diesel jams him down on the canvas. Wow!
Bear in mind, Shawn Michaels was goaded into this matchup.
Michaels was clobbered by the WWE Championship belt, if you recall.
[King] Yeah, I recall real well.
[Vince] Right after that, Diesel issued the challenge
with the stipulation of No Holds Barred.
Unfortunately, Michaels accepted it,
and he's gonna be sorry after this match is over.
Wait a minute. Look at the tape!
Wait a minute! We said No Holds Barred,
-but we didn't mean this! -[King] Wait a minute!
No disqualification, McMahon.
[Vince] That's taking it too far!
[King] Do it all, Diesel! Do it all, baby!
[Vince] And the referee… hey, wait a minute!
Diesel has the referee's belt!
Wow!
[King] Whip him like the dog he is, Big Daddy!
[Vince] Diesel adding insult to injury.
[King] No, he's adding injury to insult right now.
Come on, wear him out!
Ruin his life! Ruin his life!
[Vince] Oh, no! Come on! Come on, now!
This has gone too far!
[King] Go in there and do something about it. I dare you!
-[Vince] This is going way too far! -[King] I dare you, McMahon.
[Vince] It's supposed to be No Holds Barred.
It's not supposed to be this!
[King] Oh, I wish he'd swing him around.
[Vince] Oh, no! Oh, no!
[Vince grunts]
[King] Hey! Hang in there, Shawn!
Big Daddy Cool's starting to make Syracuse look like a walk in the park.
[Vince] And Shawn Michaels trying to hang on,
trying to support his weight.
-And he does it. -[King laughs] You said "hang on."
You said "hang on," McMahon.
Uh-oh.
[Vince] Wait a minute… what's this?
Oh, no!
He picked up the ring announcer and just threw him out of the chair!
Diesel has a chair!
Oh!
Right in the spine, as the official has been able to unleash Shawn Michaels.
And this one is out of hand!
[King] He's crying, he's begging. He's begging for help.
Look at this.
[Vince] The official should be thinking about stopping this match.
[King] He can't stop it!
[audience booing]
[King] He don't have The Authority to stop it, McMahon.
Finish him off! Ruin his life, Big Daddy! Ruin his life!
[Vince] Look at this! Oh, no!
[King] Man…
[Vince] Diesel towering over Shawn Michaels.
Michaels trying to get to his feet.
No, no!
Oh!
Wait a minute, he hit himself!
Diesel swung that chair down
where he thought Michaels would be, and now Michaels has the chair!
-Michaels has the chair! -[King] Look out, man! Look out, Diesel!
Get that chair away from him, Referee!
[Vince] Mich… oh! No!
A low blow by Diesel.
[King] Anything goes, McMahon.
This whole match has been a low blow.
[Vince] We are live. You are witnessing No Holds Barred.
[King] I don't think Shawn Michaels is.
[Vince] Diesel has certainly taken advantage
of this No Holds Barred position.
Sets up Shawn Michaels and… oh!
[King] Wow! How high was that, McMahon? How high was that?
[Vince] I don't know, but Shawn Michaels' back
is just being destroyed.
-Look at that. Look at Diesel. -[King] He told him he was gonna ruin…
[Vince] A cover! Finally, it's over, and I'm glad it is.
[audience cheers]
[Vince] Can't believe this!
Michaels won't quit.
Shawn Michaels…
[King] Oh. Twist it off. Oh, look at this.
[Vince] …kicking out of that attempted cover.
I'm not so sure, but a lesser competitor would've just gone ahead
and ended it right there. And who would've blamed him?
[King] Is it over if Shawn Michaels gives up?
[Vince] Of course it is. It's pin or submission--
the only two ways you can win this match.
Michaels has been accused of having more guts than brains in the past.
[King] What did you expect, McMahon?
Michaels has never beaten Diesel in his entire life.
Did you expect something different tonight?
Oh, the kick! Here comes the kick!
[Vince] Shawn Michaels trying to make a move, trying to get back in this match.
He's been out of it for some time.
[audience cheers]
[Vince] Michaels with a right hand. Oh! Another one.
Here we go! Shawn Michaels hanging on!
[Vince unintelligible]
Michaels is up and he's right back down!
Michaels won't stay down. Stay down, Shawn!
-[King] Yes. -[Vince] Stay down!
To the outside. Oh, no!
Shawn Michaels right outside.
Shawn Michaels right outside our announcer position.
-Remember, there's no count-out. -[King] You better sit down, McMahon.
[Vince] There's no count-out, ladies and gentlemen.
You win the match by pinfall or submission.
Look at this. Look at this 7-foot monster.
Diesel dominating this matchup thus far with Michaels.
What's he gonna do with him? Set's him… no!
No, not on the floor! No!
[King] Look out!
[audience screams]
[audience whistles]
It's over! Let it be over! Let it be over!
Just let it be over!
[audience explodes with excitement]
[King] Look out!
I cannot believe this.
[Vince] Can Shawn Michaels pull it off?
Can Michaels do the impossible?
Look out!
[Vince] Can Shawn Michaels do the impossible?
-[King] That's my headset he's got! -[Vince] Oh!
Oh, no! Cover him!
[King] I cannot believe this!
[Vince] Cover him, Shawn! Cover him!
Here's what happened. Look!
[audience screams]
[Vince] Unbelievable!
[Vince] Here we go! We're back to live action!
Michaels turned it around.
-And unfortunately… -[King] It's still not over, McMahon.
Big Daddy Cool's still got some life him still after that beating.
[Vince] Oh, no!
[King] That should do it!
[Vince] Shawn Michaels is out.
Michaels…
[audience booing]
[King] You can't expect him to last through that, McMahon.
My gosh!
[Vince] Michaels on the canvas. We hope that you're hearing us.
Here we go! Shawn Michaels set up, and…
-No! No, no, no! -[King] Oh!
[Vince] Yeah!
Michaels to the outside! Michaels is going up!
-Shawn Michaels from way up top! -[King] Look out, Diesel!
[Vince] Shawn Michaels… give it to him!
Give him the Kick! Give it to him!
[King] No! No!
-Get out of there, Diesel! -[Vince] Come on! Come on!
Come on, Shawn! Give it to him!
Give it to him! Give it to him!
[King] Will these people shut up?
You saw it there, McMahon. There's what the Kick can do for you.
Absolutely nothing!
Get up, Diesel! Get up, Diesel!
Come on, you idiots, cheer Diesel!
[Vince] Shawn Michaels in the ring. Michaels…
as far as I'm concerned, has already done the impossible.
Still, he's in this match after being driven down
-right into our very table! -[King] Yeah.
That's right. He's done the impossible.
The only thing left to do
is to hand that championship belt over to Big Daddy Cool,
-and that's what I want to see. -[Vince] Diesel making his move.
Michaels making his move as well.
Both men back to their feet.
-And… oh, no! -[King] Whoa!
[Vince] We said No Holds Barred, but we didn't expect this!
Diesel going outside now with Shawn Michaels.
[King] This is gonna end it right here, McMahon.
