[thunder crashing]
[Undertaker] My whole existence is
death, darkness, and the destruction of you, Mankind.
[Mankind] I have a vision of you, Undertaker.
[Undertaker] I must be your judge, your jury,
and your executioner.
[Mankind] A vision of you, Undertaker,
looking at me for mercy, and finding only vengeance!
[Undertaker] Why don't you try and imagine
what those last few breaths of air will taste like?
[Mankind] A vision of you, Undertaker,
with soil filling your lungs.
[Undertaker] Try to imagine what it will be like
to never rest in peace.
[Mankind] When vision becomes reality,
I'll laugh myself to sleep.
[Undertaker] I am going to bury you alive.
You have been sentenced to eternal damnation.

♪ ♪
[Vince] Welcome, everyone, to Indianapolis, Indiana.
Welcome to In Your House, Buried Alive.
Vince McMahon here, along with Jerry "The King" Lawler.
And joining us as well, Jim Ross.
Indeed, an extraordinary event to take place right here live.
Someone is literally going to be buried alive. King?
I'm telling you, McMahon, I wouldn't want to be in it.
I wouldn't want to even be involved in it.
But I can't wait to see it.
Mankind or the Undertaker? This is it.
Tonight, one of them's gonna have the dirt thrown in their face.
[J.R.] How come I don't have a mic? You guys got mics, I don't have a mic.
-What's going on? -We're gonna mic up.
A number of things have already happened in the Free For All, ladies and gentlemen.
Got a mic, here, take this mic.
I've got a lot to say, as a matter of fact.
We're ready to go. Let's get started.
-You want to hear-- -[fancy British music]
This is good. Go ahead.
[bell ringing]
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, our opening contest
is scheduled for one fall.
About to compel--
[Vince] Jim Ross has a mic. Everybody has a mic.
Everybody has the opportunity to speak
their mind here in World Wrestling Entertainment.
And Hunter Hearst Helmsley, ladies and gentlemen.
For the benefit of you who did not see the Free For All,
Hunter Hearst Helmsley on his way to lock up
with Stone Cold Steve Austin.
And that's quite a surprise on the part of interim--
well now, I shouldn't say interim. Now he is the president. Gorilla Monsoon.
What about this match?
Stone Cold Steve Austin squares off against Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
How about it, King?
[King] I've said this before.
This is going to be something where you're either going
to see the Stone Cold Stunner,
or you're going to see the Pedigree.
[J.R.] Is my mic working now or not?
[King] I can hear you.
[Vince] I can certainly hear you.
[J.R.] Is it on?
[Vince] And again, for the benefit of those
of you who did not join us
for the Free For All, what about the fact that Faarooq
is out of action, at least temporarily,
thanks to Ahmed Johnson?
A big fracus back in the locker room,
which means Faarooq will not have the opportunity to be
the Intercontinental Champion against "The Wild Man" Marc Mero.
Mero defends the title here tonight against Goldust.
[King] Yeah.
What kind of stunt is that by Ahmed Johnson?
The guy's not even officially back.
And all of a sudden, he shows up and injures Faarooq.
I say Ahmed Johnson, he should be suspended for life, McMahon.
[Vince] I don't know.
I would suggest that some action is likely to be taken.
Standing by right now, ladies and gentlemen, Kevin Kelly,
along with the man who's about ready to lock up with Hunter Hearst Helmsley,
taking Savio Vega's place.
-There he is, Stone Cold Steve Austin. -Certainly is ready to go, Vince.
I'll tell you what, Stone Cold, Savio Vega, now injured.
Does your gameplan change now that you get to face Hunter Hearst Helmsley?
It doesn't change my gameplan one bit.
Because I already said Stone Cold has got a list,
and everybody's on it.
There ain't a damn thing wrong with Sávio Vega,
and I know that for a fact.
I give Hunter Hearst all the credit in the world
because he's got the guts to step in the ring with me.
As far as Bret Hart coming back for Monday Night RAW,
I hope it's to announce his retirement.
Because if it's not, then Stone Cold will retire him,
and that's the bottom line.
As far as anyone having a problem
all of a sudden with the language that Stone Cold is using,
well, they can kiss my ass, and that's the bottom line.
[Vince] All right. I think we have had enough of that.
-[King laughs] -[Vince] Stone Cold Steve Austin,
on his way to lock up with Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
[King] He's a--
[Vince] He has a very foul mouth.
[King] He's a mean guy. He shot at the welcome wagon, McMahon.
[J.R.] What you gotta understand is that everybody can't be censored here.
Some of us have a little bit of our own ideas
and have the courage to say it.
[Vince] Yeah.
Profanity notwithstanding, you cannot take away the wrestling skill
from Stone Cold Steve Austin, who indeed, I believe,
is destined to be one of the great ones here
in World Wrestling Entertainment.
But then again, time will prove that or not.
Hunter Hearst Helmsley against Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Helmsley, taking the place of the injured Savio Vega.
[J.R.] This should be an interesting matchup,
because neither of these two men
are overwhelming fan favorites, to say the least,
but both are great athletes.
But [audio out].
I can't work here if I [audio out] my damn mic.
Hey.
[Vince] We are having some audio difficulty with Mr. Ross' microphone.
[J.R.] How come you [audio out]?
How come your mics are working and [audio out]?
[King] Is mine working?
[J.R.] Yes.
McMahon's working, of course.
[Vince] Technical difficulties. We'll have that squared away.
Yeah, but "Stone Cold" Steve Austin--
-Always JR-- -[King] See if it's--
It's all fixed.
It may have.
I know what it is [audio out] Vince.
-What is it? -[bell ringing]
It's something to do with-- I'm sure that you signed [audio out].
See?
I can't even make a point.
[Vince laughs] Well, we'll get all that straightened out.
Stone Cold Steve Austin against Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
And as Jim Ross said, a very interesting
match here in World Wrestling Entertainment
against two individuals who are not exactly fan favorites.
[J.R.] I'm not out here for your amusement.
-[King laughs] You think maybe-- -[J.R.] It's not funny, Lawler.
-[King] Just wondering. -[J.R.] What are you laughing at?
Are you in on this too?
[King] Maybe McMahon doesn't want to hear what you have to say.
-[J.R.] Can you-- why don't you-- -[Vince] Let's pay attention.
[J.R.] Come out--
[Vince] Arm drag takedown, nicely done.
Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
[J.R.] Helmsley may be a little quicker than Austin.
[Vince] You got that point in.
I'm not so sure that he is.
Stone Cold Steve Austin, a consummate athlete.
And now, we're trying to change JR's microphone.
Good thing this isn't the World Series, huh?
[King] Yeah.
-[Vince] To the outside. -[King] Take a look at this now.
[Vince] Steve Austin.
[King] See, this is what I like about Stone Cold Steve Austin.
[Vince] Wait a minute.
Are you working for McMahon?
[Vince] Nothing wrong with his microphone at all.
[J.R.] How's it now?
[Vince] Here we go.
Hunter Hearst Helmsley, now on the outside.
And what is this?
[King] Whoa, look at her.
Certainly not the beauty that he brings to ringside.
-[J.R.] I think this is going to work now. -[King] What?
-[Vince] I don't think so. -[King] Oh, my goodness. [laughs]
[J.R.] I think this is going to be all right.
[King] Typical Hoosier over there.
That is a her, McMahon.
Is anybody paying any damn attention to me?
I can't work in these conditions.
[Vince] Arm drag takedown.
Stone Cold Steve Austin, asserting himself,
and a bit of a hand gesture that fits the language
as of late from Stone Cold Steve Austin.
[King] Maybe that means he thinks Hunter Hearst Helmsley is number one.
-[Vince] Or in that case, number two. -[King] Yeah.
[Vince] Again, we're continuing with trying
to fix the audio. Mr. Ross, can you hear us?
-[J.R.] I can hear you. -[Vince] There you go.
-[J.R.] Unfortunately-- Just fine. -[Vince] Okay. We're…
This is getting a little old.
I'm telling you.
I'm [audio out] for your amusement.
[King] Yes.
[Vince] And a takedown.
[Vince] And two-- not much of an opportunity
there for a pinfall, not against Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
[King] Look, Ross' headset is obviously
still not working right.
[J.R.] He knew it wasn't going to work.
[Vince] An elbow in the butt in the jaw.
[J.R.] Excited about Bret Hart coming back to RAW tomorrow night?
I know I am, and I'm very happy that I can say to fans
that I'm responsible for Bret Hart being
on RAW tomorrow night live.
[Vince] I beg your pardon?
-[J.R.] Just-- -[King] Get your microphone fixed.
[J.R.] I can't deal with this.
I mean, I'm-- this is a conspiracy.
-It's still not working right. -It's not working.
I don't know where you came from.
[Crowd] Perfect!
Perfect! Perfect!
[Vince] Again, we apologize for the technical difficulties.
[Crowd] Perfect!
Perfect! Perfect!
[J.R.] Crowd chanting "Perfect."
They know Mr. Perfect, tomorrow night on RAW,
will meet Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
[Vince] Indeed, Mr. Perfect returning to the squared circle
against Hunter Hearst Helmsley, and a lot of interest
in Mr. Perfect returning.
Talk about one of the legends here in World Wrestling Entertainment.
Mr. Perfect-- uh-oh.
Look at this. And Stone--
[King] Oh!
Whoa!
A lot of competitive juices flowing between these two guys.
[Vince] To the outside, Hunter Hearst Helmsley,
begging off a bit.
-[King] This is going to get good. -[Vince] Biding his time.
I would suggest you're right.
[King] But listen, do you realize
what an opportunity lies before Hunter Hearst Helmsley right now?
If he should defeat Stone Cold Steve Austin right here tonight,
and then tomorrow night,
defeat Mr. Perfect, that would have to make him the number one
contender for the WWE title.
That would put him right up there, wouldn't it, McMahon?
[Vince] I would suggest you're right.
Look at the look on the face of Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Austin, of course, has been challenging
Bret "The Hitman Hart" for quite some time now,
almost goading him.
And finally, tomorrow night--
[J.R.] All questions will be answered, I guarantee it.
[Vince] Yes, sir.
Nice takedown. From the other side now, Hunter Hearst Helmsley--
[King] Oh! My gosh!
[Vince] Forget about it!
Snapmare, here we go.
And down with a knee to the chest area.
Stone Cold Steve Austin with a cover.
One, two… and he cannot put Helmsley away.
Snapmare again, working on the arm.
Armbar applied by Stone Cold Steve Austin.
[King] I don't even see how Helmsley got up from that elbow. Wow!
[Vince] Helmsley a consummate performer, indeed,
here in World Wrestling Entertainment.
And as JR said, perhaps an upcoming future
WWE Champion one day, and the same could
be said for Stone Cold Steve.
Oh, look at this, Austin driving a knee repeatedly…
-[King] Ooh! -[Vince] …in the shoulder area.
[J.R.] I've got a good rapport with both these guys.
And I'll tell you something. They are very pumped up about this opportunity here.
Is this--
-All right. That's it. -[King] I can hear you.
-You're fine. -[Vince] I can hear you fine.
[J.R.] Well, I can't hear myself. I'd like to hear me every now and then.
[Vince] I'm not surprised at that.
At any event, Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
[J.R.] That was a wrist lock, by the way, McMahon.
[Vince] Yes.
I noticed.
Stone Cold Steve Austin continuing
to assert himself against Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
[J.R.] That happens to be a Greco-Roman knuckle lock.
[Vince] And what was that?
[J.R.] That was a--
[Vince] What was a technical name for that?
[King] You have to ask Moe or Curly about that.
I think that was the old eye gouge. [laughs] Wow!
[Vince] Oh!
Oh, my God.
Unbelievable.
Laying those chops in, Hunter Hearst Helmsley sets up Austin
for a ride to the buckle!
[J.R.] That was a good move right there by--
by Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
[Vince] And forget about it!
What a clothesline. A cover--
[J.R.] It's over now! I think it's--
[Vince] One, two, and-- oh, a kick-out again by Helmsley.
Helmsley up, right back down.
Back in control.
Armbar, in control.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[King] Crank it up!
[J.R.] As we said, Helmsley [audio out] quicker of the two.
And--
[Vince] We didn't hear that.
That was-- the point JR was making is Helmsley's a little quicker.
[J.R.] Have a button over there you're pushing, McMahon?
-[Vince] No buttons. -[J.R.] Are you having fun?
-Having fun at my expense? -[Vince] I am enjoying myself.
-[J.R.] I'm glad you are. -Get up! Get up!
[King] I don't think Hunter is right now.
[Vince] Hunter Hearst Helmsley from Greenwich, Connecticut.
[King] Hey, look at this! Look at the hair-pulling now.
[Vince] The American Blue Blood.
[J.R.] A lot of rich, arrogant people live in Greenwich.
-Where are you from, Vince? -[Vince laughs] From Connecticut.
[J.R.] There you go.
[Vince] Where do you live, JR?
[J.R.] Oh, I live part of the time in Connecticut,
in that overpriced hellhole.
And when I get out of there, I go back to Oklahoma where I belong.
[Vince] I see.
Missing with the elbow, Helmsley.
-[King] Oh! -[Vince] And not missing with a knee
squarely into the midsection of Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Helmsley, however, not following up.
Helmsley trying to catch his breath on the far side of the ring.
Here he comes.
Helmsley sets up Stone Cold, hard right hand.
[J.R.] I don't think Helmsley can win a fistfight here
against Stone Cold.
Helmsley might beat him in a wrestling match scientifically,
but I don't think he's going to win a brawl.
[Vince] And how about that? Helmsley doing very well for himself
with his fist as well as his feet. Hunter Hearst Helmsley going to work.
Get him out of the corner!
[King] I know what you don't like about Helmsley.
-The long hair, right? -[J.R.] I think he needs a haircut.
-[King] You do? -[J.R.] Yeah.
[Vince] And look at this.
Stone Cold Steve Austin wailing away on Hunter Hearst Helmsley!
Get him off!
[Vince] To the buckle.
No, reversal.
Nicely done.
Now up and over.
And there is no question that somewhere
"The Hitman" Bret Hart is watching this broadcast.
[J.R.] I know right where he is tonight.
-[Vince] Really? -[J.R.] Indeed.
-[Vince] Care to enlighten us? -[J.R.] Not that far from here.
[audio out] away tomorrow night.
[audio out]
[King] Your mic is cutting out again.
[J.R.] Yeah. He'll [audio out].
[King] I think you're trying to say he'll be in Fort Wayne
tomorrow night, right?
[J.R.] Yeah, so not too far from Fort Wayne [audio out].
[Vince] Oh!
And Helmsley finds the mark.
Hunter Hearst Helmsley with a cover on Stone Cold!
-And… -[King] Got him!
[Vince] No. Almost a count of three.
Ooh.
[J.R.] I'm gonna ask very respectfully,
would someone please [audio out] come out
here and fix [audio out] microphone [audio out],
I can do my job?
[King] I've got to agree.
I have got to agree with you, Jim Ross.
[Vince] And down goes Stone Cold.
[J.R.] There's not even a spare here. There's not even a spare.
[Vince] We've already done the spare, and we're working on it.
Almost a count of three again. Stone Cold…
[King] Murphy's law, Jim.
-What can go wrong will go wrong. -[J.R.] McMahon's law.
[Vince] Along with Hunter Hearst Helmsley,
a number of near falls on both individuals, and a count of two again.
Nothing wrong with your microphone this morning on WWE Superstars, Mr. Ross.
Happened to hear a little bit of that commentary.
Well, good. I'm glad you were watching.
Did you learn anything about holds and how to call a match?
Hey, that's funny.
The play-by-play guy's microphone's working.
[King] Mine's fine.
Oh, yeah, I know yours will be fine, King. Sure.
-Apparently, yours is fixed now too. -Everybody's is fine but mine.
But yeah, mine's working great.
Is this radio or--
I've never sounded better.
It's really good, very professional.
Nice echo.
Oh, yeah.
[Vince] Hunter Hearst Helmsley in control
of the match at the moment against "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
[J.R.] Nothing like being in the major leagues, huh, guys?
[Vince] What does-- well, I think we're watching
the major league as far as the action in the ring is concerned.
[J.R.] A can with a string tied to each end.
[King laughs] That was a good one, Jim.
[J.R.] Thank you.
[Vince] Not bad.
[J.R.] [audio out]
[Vince] Down goes Helmsley.
Stone Cold now from the other side, and…
[King] Ooh! Oh!
[Vince] "Stone Cold" Steve-- no, no.
-[King] Good night. -[Vince] Turning into him. Nicely done.
-And now… -[King] Oh!
[Vince] …reversed.
Stone Cold with the sleeper. And Helmsley turns into Stone Cold.
Right back.
Now look at this, back and forth.
Each man-- oh!
[King] Oh!
[J.R.] Good counter for the sleeper right there.
[Vince] And Helmsley flat on his face.
[J.R.] Great contest here.
[Vince] Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Hunter Hearst Helmsley going for it.
A cover here.
We get one, two, and…
[King] Did he get him?
[Vince] No, not quite.
What a match up.
[J.R.] Austin looking for that Stone Cold--
-[Vince] Stunner, was it? -[J.R.] Stunner. Yeah, that's it.
[Vince] Okay. Just helping you out a little bit.
[J.R.] Thank you. -[Vince] Hooking the ropes,
and down goes Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Stone Cold now.
-Oh, nicely done! -[King] Oh!
[J.R.] Austin calls that the Stun Gun.
[Vince] And here we go.
-[King] Look out! -[Vince] Oh, yes!
A cover!
One, two, and he got--
[King] No.
[Vince] No, no, no.
[King] Hook the leg now! He may have him now!
[Vince] He got it! No.
A right shoulder barely up.
And now Stone Cold Steve Austin perhaps getting
a little frustrated here.
Stone Cold, of course, had trained
for a match with Savio Vega.
That's not the individual-- look at-- he's facing now!
High knee squarely on the jaw.
Helmsley with an opportunity to put Stone Cold away.
And nothing-- well, I don't know.
Here we go.
He's going up, and yeah!
[King] Yeah!
[Vince] On the mark!
A cover.
One, two, and he-- no!
No, not quite.
[King] What about that, Ross?
Does that ever get on your nerves, how McMahon always says
"One, two, he got-- no?" Huh?
-[Vince] He almost got him. -[J.R.] Well, yeah.
You're being repetitive.
-[J.R.] Uncreative. -[Vince chuckles] Yeah.
Off the rope again, missing with the elbow.
-And Stone-- -[King] Oh!
[Vince] Clotheslining each other.
And both men feeling the effects of that.
[cheering]
And unfortunately, look at this.
Here he comes, the man who returns to action tomorrow night
to square off against Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
Look at that blue suit, if you would.
A standing ovation right in the middle of this match up.
It's Mr. Perfect.
[J.R.] My pal from Sunday Morning Superstars.
[King] Well, he's got no business
out here in this match.
[J.R.] Why is that?
[King] Because he's only going to distract Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
-[J.R.] He's going to scout. -[King] Scout?
[Vince] I think he may be--
[J.R.] He's doing a little scouting.
[Vince] He may be scouting an individual that accompanied Mr. Helmsley…
-[King] Whoa! -[Vince] …to the ring.
And there she is, and--
[J.R.] Hell, they may be going steady before the night's over.
[Vince] And wait a minute. Helmsley right out here, right out here!
Oh, wait a minute! Stone Cold--
[King] Ooh! Wow!
[Vince] Stone Cold hammering away!
Stone Cold now with Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
Helmsley distracted by Perfect and Perfect's attention.
-Fuck out of here! -[J.R.] Hey!
[Vince] Wait a minute.
And there's no love lost between these two either!
Don't you ever get in my face.
[Vince] Hey, wait a minute.
[indistinct shouting]
[Referee] Get your ass inside the ring.
[Vince] Hey!
Oh!
[J.R.] Wow. [King] Uh-oh.
-[J.R.] Oh, Austin made him… -[King] Come on down!
[Vince] That's it. Look out!
[King] Oh, look at this!
[J.R.] Helmsley nailed Austin from behind!
I don't--
[Vince] Unbelievable!
Hunter Hearst Helmsley capitalizing
on the distraction!
And "Stone Cold" Steve Austin paying the price right now!
Meanwhile, Mr. Perfect is leaving the ring
with Hunter Hearst Helmsley's lady,
although he is leaving the ring in an angered fashion.
All right, wait a minute. Back to action here.
-Here we go! -[King] Yeah!
[Vince] Looking to Pedigree!
[King] Put him away, Hunter!
Then go get your girl!
[Vince] Steve Austin about ready to be driven down to the canvas!
Wait a minute. He just spotted Mr. Perfect!
[J.R.] A big mistake by Helmsley, big mistake.
[Vince] Helmsley had the Pedigree applied on Stone Cold!
[J.R.] We've got a fight here in the aisleway!
[Vince] Uh-oh, this is not going to be pretty.
They're not going to wait till tomorrow night.
Mr. Perfect doesn't care who he's fighting with.
He's ready for action! He's not going to wait till tomorrow night!
-Stone Cold Steve Austin-- -[King] No, no!
No, no!
Not on the floor!
[Vince] --and Hearst Helmsley! Oh!
Look at this!
Up he goes!
[King] Oh!
[Vince] On concrete!
Oh!
[King] That's got to be more devastating than the Pedigree!
[J.R.] This match may end in a double count-out.
[Vince] The official trying to maintain some control here
in this match up.
[J.R.] Where's Monsoon when you need him?
[Vince] Helmsley and Stone Cold have really been going at it.
All right.
We have live action on the right.
On the screen on the left, you'll see what happened moments ago. Oh!
[King] Backfighter! Backfighter!
[Vince] Uh-oh!
And look out Helmsley now.
[King] No, wait a minute!
[Vince] Wait a minute.
Look at this.
Stone Cold setting up Helmsley!
He's going to try and whip him into the ring!
[King] No!
[Vince] Forget about it!
Helmsley's not going to get up from that!
[J.R.] Austin is so cold and calculating,
he doesn't care who he competes with.
[Vince] Stone Cold.
Wait a minute.
Look at this with Helmsley.
I think he could have won the match via count-out just then, but no.
Helmsley in the ring.
Stone Cold Steve Austin trying to send the message,
I believe, to Hunter Hearst Helmsley and to everyone else
in World Wrestling Entertainment.
[King] Oh, look at this!
Oh!
[Vince] Again, live action on the right. What you saw earlier.
Right into the ring post.
Somehow, Helmsley-- oh, look out!
There it is, Stone Cold Stunner!
One!
Two! He got it.
-[King] No! -[bell rings]
[Steve Austin music playing]
[Vince] What a match up, ladies and gentlemen.
Unbelievable.
Stone Cold Steve Austin and Hunter Hearst Helmsley
going at it, two tremendous competitors,
not necessarily fan favorites.
Nonetheless, giving it their all, giving it everything they possibly had.
Let's not pick up any of this verbiage, if you don't mind.
All you've got to do is come back.
[Vince] All right.
Here we go!
Well, you didn't need to see that.
But there, that's the Stone Cold stunner right there.
Excellently executed, I might say. Wouldn't you, Mr. Ross?
[J.R.] It was a-- it was outstanding, as a matter of fact.
And-- well, this damn thing is not working, guys.
I'm losing my patience.
I'm trying to do my job here.
I really am.
[Vince] Ladies and gentlemen, the Tag Team Championship up for grabs.
Right now, let's take you back
and show you some of the history that led up to this rematch.
[King] Oh, yeah.
[narrator] From the very beginning,
it was clear that Billy Gunn was smitten
with the vivacious Sunny, while Bart Gunn was
less than enamored with her managing skills.
Nevertheless, The Smoking Gunns did become the Tag Team champs
with Sunny's help.
Behind the scenes, however, Billy's infatuation was coming
between the two brothers.
At Mind Games, Owen Hart and The British Bulldog's
sophomoric prank flustered both Sunny and Billy.
Throughout the match, Billy seemed more concerned
with consoling Sunny's wounded ego
rather than defending the Tag Team titles.
It proved to be a costly distraction.
[J.R.] What a dumb move by Billy Gunn!
[Vince] This could do it. One! Two! Yes!
-He got-- He got it! -[Mr. Perfect] Wow!
[narrator] Not only did the Gunns lose their title,
they lost their manager as well.
And I have had it!
You two are fired!
Do you hear me?
Fired, fired, fired!
[narrator] Tonight, both Gunns want the Tag Team title back,
Bart for the gold, Billy for the girl.
All right, gentlemen, momentarily
you are on a quest to become four-time
WWE Tag Team Champions.
But, Billy, if you don't mind me saying so,
last month, it seemed that your preoccupation,
if not your obsession, with Sunny cost you
the WWE Tag Team Championship.
With her not around now,
can you get refocused and regain that WWE Tag Team title?
How do you know she's not around?
First of all, you know, as soon as I annihilate The Bulldog
and Owen Hart and I win the Tag Team Championship,
I know Sunny will be right back by my side.
No, no, no, no. Billy, Billy, it's us.
We, together, are going to win the Tag Team title.
-Whatever. -No, no, no--
But I know that Sunny's going to be right back by our side
because I just have that confidence.
Just forget about Sunny, man. We've got a match.
-Yeah, whatever. -[Vince] All right, let's get it on.
-Here they come. -All right, guys, good luck.
[Vince] Billy and Bart, The Smoking Gunns.
And to the victors go the spoils, all right.
You wonder whether or not Sunny is here.
[King] Well, I heard the other day Todd Pettengill
call Sunny a gold-digger.
He said, she digs the gold.
Hey, you can't blame her.
She's not going to have anything to do with these guys
until they get those gold belts back around their waist.
Then she may give him a second chance.
[J.R.] I think she's the most overrated [audio out]
history of the [audio out].
[King] What did you say?
[J.R.] I said, I [audio out] the most
overrated manager [audio out] history of the [audio out].
[Vince] Ladies and gentlemen, again, we apologize.
[J.R.] We sure do.
[Vince] And if we can possibly get
this audio problem cleared up with Mr. Ross,
he'd greatly appreciate it.
[J.R.] If you didn't want me out here, all you had to do was…
[Vince] Indeed, we thought you were going to join us earlier on…
in the Free for All and you did not.
[J.R.] I'm not big on the preliminary stuff.
[Vince] All right, here we go!
Here we go, ladies and gentlemen,
the Tag Team Champions of World Wrestling Entertainment.
[announcer] …at a total combined weight of 480 pounds.
The World Wrestling Entertainment
Tag Team Champions, The British Bulldog
and the Slammy Award-winning Owen Hart!
[Vince] Slammy Award-winning indeed,
led by, of course, Clarence Mason, who some say simply
outsmarted Jim Cornette and maneuvered Cornette
out of the managership, if you would,
of the Tag Team title holder.
[J.R.] I used to think it would be hard to outsmart Jim Cornette,
but nowadays I'm not real sure.
[King] Well, hey, don't underestimate Clarence Mason.
This so-- this guy is so smart,
he didn't even finish law school!
He settled out of class.
Hey, you know, Jim, you might want to contact Clarence Mason
because there may be some kind of lawsuit involving
this deal with you tonight. I'm beginning to agree with you.
I think there's something fishy going on with your headset.
[J.R.] Oh, there's something fishy go--
[Vince] You being the technical advisor and all that.
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
Owen Hart along with The British Bulldog
defending the Tag Team Champions--
the Tag Team Championship, rather, against Billy and Bart,
The Smoking Gunns.
[King] Easy for you to say.
[Vince chuckles] Certainly was.
And obviously, the-- well, the brother and the brother-in-law
of both Owen and The British Bulldog
again reappearing here in World Wrestling Entertainment's--
well, we're told, a big announcement tomorrow night,
-right, Mr. Ross? -[J.R.] That's exactly right.
I'll be having dinner with Bret, and--
[Vince] You're going to have dinner here in Indianapolis with Bret Hart?
[J.R.] I didn't say in Indianapolis.
I'm having dinner later with Bret.
He'll be in Fort Wayne tomorrow night, live.
It's a guarantee.
And I'm really happy that I could do that for the fans.
The fans deserve to see Bret Hart and find out…
-[Vince] I agree. -[J.R.] …what Bret's [audio out].
[Vince] One, two…
And an early pin attempt there, and headscissor right back up…
-[King] Whoa! -[Vince] …with the hip. Nicely done.
Woo!
[laughs] That's right, Billy Gunn!
[Vince] All right.
Two pretty evenly-matched teams, wouldn't you say, Mr. Ross?
[J.R.] Yes, I certainly [audio out].
I think that The British Bulldog, quite frankly,
[audio out] the better [audio out].
Are you asking me questions, just continuing
to make a fool out of me?
[Vince] No, actually.
What do you think, King?
[King] I think God beat us to that.
No, I'm only kidding there, Jim. I'm on your side!
I think something is wrong--
if you want to lean over here and speak into my microphone,
you can.
[J.R.] No, thanks.
I want my mic to work.
It's always worked.
You notice Owen Hart got a haircut.
Just thought I'd throw that in.
[Vince] Astute observation.
[King] Very analytical of you.
[Vince] Nice take down.
Nice headscissor.
Kick-out again by Billy Gunn.
Both men right back up, not for long.
Over the hip. No, wait a minute.
And this time, look at this.
Oh, and Hart goes up and over. Oh!
But clothesline!
[King] Wow.
[Vince] Devastating maneuver on the part of Billy Gunn.
[J.R.] I think the team that can make
the most effective tags here is going to win this match up.
Billy Gunn would be well-served to make a tag right here,
but he's-- he's not doing it.
[Vince] No, indeed.
The showboat of the two, however,
some would say, the more gifted of the two in Bill-- oh--
in Billy Gunn.
[King] Look out!
[Vince] Oh, with a double clothesline there!
Owen Hart setting up Billy Gunn.
Drop toe-hold nicely done. And look out.
The British Bulldog, illegal man.
Drop toe-hold! That could do it right there!
[J.R.] Good teamwork. Really good teamwork.
[King] Well, let's face it.
We know that Billy Gunn is out here trying to impress Sunny.
-He knows she's… -[Vince] Oh!
[King] …watching somewhere.
And he's taking all these chances,
which may not be the smart thing to do, Billy.
[J.R.] Sunny's like Will Rogers. She never met a man she didn't like.
[King] What does that mean?
[J.R.] What?
[Vince] Will Rogers is no longer with us.
[J.R.] Great Oklahoman.
[Vince] Roy Rogers is still around, though.
[King] You sound like you're on the phone, to me, Jim.
[Vince] So is Trigger. [inaudible] In the corner.
-[J.R.] That's real good-- Trigger. -[Vince] Reversal.
[J.R.] Famous [audio out] horses for 20, Alex.
[Vince] Oh! Look out.
-[King] Whoa! -[Vince] Hey, whoa! Look out.
Obviously, both teams will take shortcuts.
And there is Sunny looking on.
[King] Oh, yes!
[Vince] And of course, we have the privilege
-of looking at Sunny. -[J.R.] Half-dressed--
[Vince] Cover! Two, and-- uh-oh.
[King] When you see Sunny-- you've seen the rest.
When you see Sunny, you're seeing the best.
[J.R.] He missed too many trips to the woodshed, in my opinion.
-[Vince] What do you mean by… -[King] What do you mean by that?
[Vince] …trips to the woodshed? What's in the woodshed, actually?
[J.R.] Well, that's where you get disciplined.
You're-- apparently, [audio out] make too many [audio out] shed.
[Vince] Series of forearms there by Bart.
The Bulldog on a collision course, and The Bulldog will bowl anyone over.
Look at this, Davey Boy Smith over Bart,
right back at him now.
Uh-oh.
Oh, how about that?
Big powerslam. And…
-[J.R.] Didn't follow it up. -[Vince] No, he didn't.
[J.R.] Bart should have gone for the cover right there.
[Vince] Your opinion-- on the top rope, Bart now.
Bart, no!
[King] No!
[Vince] And you're right.
Bart should have followed up when he had the opportunity.
[J.R.] So my opinion was right, as usual.
[Vince] Flying body press there.
One, two…
And hooked the leg.
Couldn't quite get him.
[J.R.] Watch this tag right here.
[Vince] Is the tag spectacular?
[J.R.] No, it's a quick tag. It's a smart tag.
[Vince] Kick nicely done.
Owen Hart now right back into the ring.
-[King] Hey, Owen Hart is great. -[J.R.] Very underrated.
[Vince] One, two, and look out!
[J.R.] I think Owen's underappreciated and underrated here.
[King] Well, that's only because of his spotlight-hogging brother, Bret.
[Vince] Oh, I don't think so.
[King] Oh, I do.
-[Vince] Owen Hart. Headbutt. -[J.R.] I appreciate your opinion, King.
I'm not going to argue that point, unlike some others here.
[King] I don't believe you're going to be able to have lunch with Bret.
Bret Hart tends to make you lose your lunch.
[Vince] Here we go.
Bart set up, double-team effort.
Double clothesline.
Very effective on the part of the Tag Team Champions.
Remember, now, the Tag Team Champions do not
have to beat the challengers.
It's the challengers who have to make
the champions submit or pin.
[J.R.] Now, that's an Einstein-like analogy
right there, King.
[Vince] My point is-- my point is that Bulldog and Owen Hart
can deliberately be disqualified,
they can be counted out, whatever, lose the match, but not lose the titles.
They're not above doing something like that intentionally. Cover!
Two, and…
-[Vince] And looking on again. -[J.R.] Sunny wearing a nightgown?
[King] I don't think-- whoa! Oh, baby, come out here.
Just wink at me. I'll do the rest.
-[J.R.] King-- -[King] Oh, she did!
-She did! -[Vince] She hears you, I think.
-[King] Woo! -[Vince] All right. Back to live action.
[J.R.] She'll catch her death of cold, half-dressed like that.
It's chilly outside.
[Vince] Oh! Dropping the leg, Owen Hart.
Owen Hart.
[J.R.] Have you got code words to the truck?
Is it "now back to live action"?
Is that when they're supposed to cut my mic off?
[Vince] I have no code words.
[J.R.] Is this a joke on your part?
[Vince] None indeed, Mr. Ross.
We apologize again for technical difficulties.
[J.R.] Why are you apologizing if it's not--
Why are you apologizing?
[Vince] I think it's more important to watch what's going on in the ring.
Other than what-- hearing us out here or watching us,
I don't think that's nearly as important.
[J.R.] Then why don't we encourage the fans to turn their--
[Vince] Keeping priorities straight.
We used to do that when Howard Cosell was doing
ABC Monday Night Football.
-Look at this. In front of the aisle. -[King] Oh!
[Vince] And Billy and Bart…
What are you doing?
[King] Billy was showboating, trying to show--
I think he wanted to get his muscles on camera. Look out!
[Vince] And he got-- no, he didn't. That was close.
And Bart better watch himself.
[J.R.] Billy Gunn's a little obsessed here with Sunny, isn't he?
[King] Well, you can't blame him.
[King] Sunny would never give somebody like you a second look, Ross.
[Vince] Uh-oh, look out.
Billy Gunn with a clever maneuver, as The Bulldog
distracted the official.
However, Bart not coming back over and capitalizing.
Bart and Billy obviously with some degree of difference here
-in how to go about this match. -[King] Here we go! Oh!
[Vince] Uh-oh. Here we go.
That'll-- that'll work.
[J.R.] That was a double Russian leg sweep.
[Vince] One, two, and a kick-out.
[King] Double Russian leg sweep? Well, here's the double feature.
[Vince] All right, here we go. Take a look at-- another look at it.
And live action on the right of your screen.
And all right. Drops the-- No, drops the elbow there.
Get up. Get up.
Stay off the throat.
[Vince] Billy Gunn warned about coming so close to the throat area.
Admonition on the part of the official.
[King] Uh-oh.
[Vince] And…
[King] Sunny, watch this!
-[Vince] Oh! -[King] Ooh!
[Vince] Neckbreaker applied quite well,
and Sunny is watching that.
[King] Yeah.
[Vince] Why isn't Billy going for the cover?
Tag is made. Here comes Bart.
[J.R.] I've seen more cotton in an aspirin bottle
than in that nightgown she's got on.
-[Vince] It's not a nightgown. -[King] Oh, it wasn't?
[Vince] All right, here we go.
Again, The Bulldog.
[King] Oh!
[J.R.] Bart ought to go for the cover right here.
Look, the referee is sending Bulldog
to obedience school now, making him stay in that corner.
[Vince] And for the cover, hooks the leg.
Two, and a kick-out by Owen Hart.
Come on, referee!
[Vince] And no tag.
Owen Hart and The British Bulldog
hoping to hang onto the Tag Team Championship.
However, tag was made.
Billy now taking over right where Bart left off.
[King] You know, I think Bart is a little jealous of Billy
because apparently Sunny showed more affection
-to Billy than she did to Bart. -[Vince] I don't-- Bart…
[King] And looking at Bart, he's been on so many blind dates,
he should get a free dog.
[Vince] I don't think it matters at all to Bart.
What matters to Bart is the Tag Team Championship.
I think it's what really matters to Billy as well.
Oh, look at this.
-[King] Ooh! -[Vince] To the buckle, nicely done.
-And here we go. -[King] This could be it right here!
[Vince] Smoking Gunn maneuver.
That's enough.
That should be enough.
Bulldog knocked off as well.
Here we go.
Owen Hart now being set up.
[J.R.] Owen really needs to make a tag here.
[Vince] Tag.
Bulldog finally back up on the apron,
but Owen Hart in no condition to make a tag whatsoever.
The Smoking Gunns, I believe, with an opportunity
to polish off Owen Hart.
Here we go!
From the top-- wait a minute. Bulldog's in there!
Bulldog's right behind!
Look at this.
Bulldog right behind Bart Gunn!
-Billy Gunn on the top! -[King] You better look out, Billy!
[Vince] Oh!
[cheering]
[J.R.] Billy missed the Sidewinder.
Oh, and Owen didn't miss a kick!
[Vince] One! Two!
No, he got him!
[bell rings]
The British Bulldog hiding behind the combination
of Owen and Bart.
[King] Well, Billy waited--
Billy waited too long before he delivered
the big Sidewinder there.
It was like-- it was like he was wanting to make sure
that Sunny was watching him.
[Vince] Well, indeed, Billy may have had a little
too much Sunny on his mind.
And there she is, applauding.
She's applauding The Bulldog and Owen Hart.
Do you think she has designs on the Tag Team Champions?
Let's go back and take another look at it.
All right, Mr. Ross, set it up for us.
[J.R.] Well, he took too much time on the Sidewinder.
That's a big mistake there.
The Gunns wasting a lot of time in this match up.
Didn't seem like they had a great deal of continuity here.
And Owen, with a spinning heel kick,
caught Billy Gunn high up on the shoulder,
enough for the three-count. I think Bart's a little frustrated
at this whole situation.
[Vince] I wonder if they'll ever get another opportunity to be
Tag Team Champions again.
Standing by right now, ladies and gentlemen,
I believe we're going to take you back to the--
well, the Superstar Line.
Right, Mr. Ross?
[J.R.] Absolutely, the WWE Superstar Line.
I understand that Mr. Perfect and Hunter Hearst Helmsley
are on now.
Of course, ladies and gentlemen,
throughout North America, you can--
you can join us in the United States at 1-900-737-WWE.
In Canada, the number is 1-900-451-3332.
The exclusive post-match interviews with the winners
and the losers, all night tonight on option 8.
And we also hope to talk to Shawn Michaels a little bit
later tonight on the WWE Superstar Line, option 8.
[King] Listen to Perfect reading Hunter the Riot Act.
Give me the phone. I wanna hear what he's saying.
[Vince] By the way, Mr. Ross, just so you know,
there wasn't a thing wrong with your microphone.
We apparently have fixed Mr. Ross's mic.
1-900-737-####
1-900-451.
[King] You fixed his microphone and he just put his headset down.
Okay, ladies and gentlemen.
Earlier on, we know we had a problem with Faarooq.
Well, actually, he had a problem with an individual
by the name of Ahmed Johnson.
But we certainly heard from Faarooq and…
-wait a minute. -[J.R.] Quite exciting over here.
Trying to do the very best job I can, broadcasting.
Let's go to JR, who's in the ring.
What is this?
And McMahon has-- he's got his butt-kissers
to turn my microphone off so I can't be heard on television!
[booing]
This guy right here!
I'm not gonna bore you or go into the story again
of how he fired me twice and tried to ruin my life.
-[Vince] What? -I'm not going to go into that.
-But I am gonna tell you one thing-- -[Vince] What is going on here?
--that tomorrow night on RAW, thanks to good old JR,
I'll guarantee you, I promise you, that Bret Hart is gonna be
live in Fort Wayne, Indiana!
I promise you that!
[Vince] He's taking credit for bringing Bret Hart back
to make an announcement?
[J.R.] He's not coming back because you want him to come back.
You didn't go to South Africa to talk to him.
I went to South Africa.
Right or wrong?
That's a yes or no for you.
You were in South Africa, JR. Yes, you were.
The issue is this.
Tomorrow night, Bret Hart has got a lot to say.
He said he was going to come back with a shovel
because he's going to bury some people.
Bret Hart has got a lot to say to you fans.
He's got a lot to say to maybe Vince McMahon.
-And he's got some more things… -What does he mean by that?
[J.R.] …I think, for the World Wrestling Entertainment champion.
Bottom line, Bret Hart will be uncensored tomorrow night.
Now, seeing as how the egotistical maniac who owns
this company has screwed up the microphones
and he talks out of both sides of his mouth anyway,
you need two microphones.
You take this one.
I'll see you tomorrow night on RAW.
[applause]
Good catch, Vince.
[chuckles] Here, King.
Well--
I don't need two microphones.
At any event, ladies and gentlemen,
before Mr. Ross interrupted us--
and again, we appreciate his commentary and certainly look forward
-to The Hitman-- -[King] You do?
[Vince] Well, everybody has an opinion.
Certainly we look forward to The Hitman Bret Hart
returning live on RAW, no matter what he's going to say,
tomorrow night.
However, earlier on, ladies and gentlemen,
during the WWE Free for All, we had an opportunity
for Kevin Kelly to have an occasion to chat with the man
they call Faarooq.
First, I'm glad that someone had the decency to wheel him
-in here in the chair tonight. -[Vince] It was Faarooq making reference
to the presence of Ahmed Johnson, who was told he was here in the arena.
He knows I mean business.
He and I come up along the same path.
He knows that I'll do whatever it takes to get the job done, okay?
[Vince] Not only did we chat with Faarooq, but a little bit later on…
I'm on for the ride for as long as he wants.
Faarooq wants some of me? He knows where to find me.
[Vince] He's not quite ready, not quite ready,
-to make his return to the ring. -Faarooq, walk it like I talk it.
[King] What's he doing here tonight if he wasn't ready to return?
-You know, brother, like I know. -[King] He knew what he was doing tonight.
-You stepped on me. -[Vince] Let me listen to this, please.
I didn't even know you at the time.
You stepped in the WWE and intruded in my territory,
cost me the belt!
You cost me something very important to me, Faarooq.
And I promise you, I swear to you, I will pay you back.
You don't know when, you don't know where, you don't know how.
But I will pay you back.
[Vince] And indeed, ladies and gentlemen, he did pay him back.
Again, there you see Ahmed in the locker room.
What we are told now is that Ahmed
was not necessarily the individual
who provoked the attack.
Apparently, there was something that Faarooq had said
or something that Faarooq did to Ahmed.
-And again, by tomorrow night-- -[King] Who told you that, McMahon?
[Vince] By tomorrow night, we'll get to the full story.
Here he comes now, Mr. Perfect!
What's he doing out here?
[Vince] You don't think he's going to come escort
-you back, do you, King? -[King] Huh?
-[Vince chuckles] I don't know. -[King] I should hope not.
[Vince] Hey, wait a minute. Look at this.
[announcer] Mr. Perfect!
[Vince] Jim Ross having a word with Mr. Perfect.
[applause]
[King] He may be coming out to escort you back
if Ross has anything to do with it.
[Vince] Well, like we said, anything can happen
here in World Wrestling Entertainment.
Mr. Perfect returning tomorrow night, returning to action,
locking up with Hunter Hearst Helmsley,
who really gave "Stone Cold" Steve Austin a battle
and a half earlier here tonight.
[King] What is he-- he's not getting in the ring.
What's he doing?
-[Vince] I think he's gonna come over. -[King] He is coming over here.
McMahon, get ready.
[Vince] How about-- care to join us?
Hey.
Believe me, Perfect, you're on your own with that headset.
Yeah, I'm on my own, no matter what I do.
Don't worry about my headset.
I don't care if it works or not.
People know why I'm out here.
I don't.
To watch the Intercontinental Championship match up.
You think I'm gonna sit here after what Austin did to me,
and sit in the back and watch the Intercontinental match up
without doing something about it?
Okay, Austin, you've got a buy tonight.
All my frustrations are going to be taken out
tomorrow night on Monday Night RAW on Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
I guarantee you that.
[Vince] Well, here comes a two-time
former Intercontinental Champion, ladies and gentlemen.
Oh, my goodness.
You want to talk bizarre?
There has never, ever been anything quite like Goldust
here in World Wrestling Entertainment.
The same can be said, I believe,
for his director of sorts, Marlena.
[King] Wow.
[Vince] Goldust against The Wildman.
[King] What about Jim Ross's behavior here lately? That's pretty bizarre.
[Mr. Perfect] What's so bizarre about that?
I just had a little chat with him
on the way out here, McMahon. I'm onto you, McMahon.
He filled me in on what you're doing to him.
[Vince] Wait a minute, now.
[Mr. Perfect] Don't worry about it. I know. I got you down.
I got your number now. I suppose my microphone
will start cutting out now, huh?
[Vince] I don't know.
I think we got it fixed just before JR took off.
[Mr. Perfect] If it does, I'm gonna rip yours off and use that one.
[Vince] I'll be happy to hand it to you.
[Mr. Perfect] You'll hand it to me whether I want it or not.
Whatever I want, I'm going to start getting.
[Vince] Standing by right now,
I believe we have "The Wildman" Marc Mero along with Sable.
And I can-- I'm certain that The Wildman--
well, he knows anything can happen in World Wrestling Entertainment.
But well, Wildman, Sable, what about it? A match made to--
-[King] Hey, wait a minute. -[Vince] Wait a minute.
[King] Let me ask him a few questions, McMahon.
[King] Hey, Wildman, huh?
We see Faarooq got back trouble.
I said earlier, I bet you've got foot trouble now.
Are your feet feeling a little cold now that you know you're going to have
to get in the ring with Goldust? Huh?
Lawler, I don't got time for you.
My eyes are too focused on the match tonight.
It's unfortunate what happened to Faarooq,
but Goldust will suit my doing.
I'm the Intercontinental Champion of the world.
And tonight I'm focused on one thing,
and that's beating Goldust.
[King] Because you've never done it before.
Every time you've been in the ring with Goldust, you've lost, Marc Mero!
I'm the champ and you're the chump, buddy!
-[King] You're a chump! -[Vince] All right, thank you very much.
-[King] I think he's a chump, don't you? -[Mr. Perfect] I don't think he's a chump.
He's the Intercontinental Champion. Yeah, you've never been
the Intercontinental Champion, have you? You don't know what it's like.
You wish you were a champion here in World Wrestling Entertainment.
You wear that silly crown around like you're somebody.
-[King] Tell you what… -[Vince] Some would say "The Wildman"
Marc Mero is Intercontinental Champion partially
due to a little assistance, a little advice,
shall we say, from you.
[Mr. Perfect] A little bit of advice from me is exactly right,
and the other so-called superstars here in World Wrestling Entertainment
should listen to advice. What do you want?
[Vince] And oh, my goodness.
Goldust out here just a moment ago,
standing right above Mr. Perfect.
And Marlena with that stinking cigar.
Ew.
All right, "Wildman" Marc Mero.
Yeah!
He is flashy, no doubt about that.
Very colorful.
And this man takes unbelievable high risk, as Sable looks on at our champion.
[King] Watch your toupee, McMahon.
If one of those sparks hit it, it could ignite.
[Vince] I would love it. [laughs]
Wildman Marc Mero and Sable.
And The Wildman holding the ropes for Sable
to step into the ring.
And there she is, yes, indeed.
[King] You know, I used to think she was a big detriment
being at ringside, but now I think
she's part of his success.
I just saw her wink at the referee
and say, "Hey, remember last night at the Marriott?"
[Vince] All right, stop it.
She is ever-present, always there in the corner of her man.
By the way, we're told in the WWE Superstar Line,
The Smoking Gunns are back there.
I would suggest with Sunny, maybe not without Sunny.
And on the other side, we've got
the still-Tag Team Champions, British Bulldog and Owen Hart.
Get out of the damn ring!
[Vince] I don't think that's necessarily over with.
Here we go, the Intercontinental title match up,
made, ladies and gentlemen,
during the Free for All earlier here tonight in Indianapolis.
Due to the injury of Faarooq, stepping right up in there
in the number-one spot of contention,
much perhaps to the chagrin of The Wildman, Goldust.
[Mr. Perfect] It just shows you what kind of athlete The Wildman really is.
I mean, he prepared for Faarooq. He's out here wrestling Goldust.
That makes him a true champion, in my opinion.
[Vince] Arm-drag takedown.
[Mr. Perfect] And if Austin thinks for one minute
throwing that soda in my face, he's going to get away with it,
I'm just telling everybody, one time and one time only, Austin.
You might be some kind of whoop-ass here
in World Wrestling Entertainment,
but you never whooped my ass and you're never going to whoop my ass.
And tomorrow night, Hunter, I feel sorry for you
because, brother, I am going to take it out on you.
And I was just going to beat Helmsley.
Tomorrow night I'm going to humiliate him and just destroy him forever.
[King] Can we say the A-word anymore?
[Vince] I don't know.
And taking exception to some of the histrionics of Goldust,
Wildman Marc Mero.
Unquestionably, Goldust is a master, Mr. Perfect, of mind games, is he not?
-[Mr. Perfect] Oh, no doubt. -[Vince] Oh, look at this.
Take a look at what he's wearing.
[Vince] And Goldust hammering away on The Wildman Marc Mero.
Goldust, however, despite that bizarre look,
Goldust obviously a consummate wrestler.
-Would you agree with that? -There's no doubt about it.
Goldust has got great athletic ability,
or he wouldn't be here in World Wrestling Entertainment,
just like Razor Ramon and Diesel. They're great athletes.
That's why JR brought them to World Wrestling Entertainment.
[Vince] Arm-drag takedown. Look at Wildman taking it to Goldust.
Yeah!
That's, again, arm drag and drop toe-hold.
Nicely done.
And The Wildman, armbar, in control at the moment.
And Goldust must find a measure of escape as Sable looks on.
[King] Marc Mero is making Goldust look like a B-movie right now.
But believe me, before this is over, I got news for you.
Goldust is going to-- he's going to do something.
-You know the movie I saw the other night? -[Vince] What was that?
[King] Geena Davis, The Long Kiss Goodnight.
That's what Marc Mero is going to get before this is over.
[Vince] Certainly hope you don't mean that literally.
Takedown by The Wildman.
[King] You know, look at each side of the ring.
-Marlena. -[Vince] Yeah?
[King] I think she makes--
she makes Sable look like a B-movie or
maybe even a Z-movie.
[Vince] Oh, please.
There's no comparison there.
[Mr. Perfect] What are you talking about, McMahon?
[Vince] I think Sable is a beautiful lady and a classy lady.
If you ever have an opportunity to say hello to Sable,
please take advantage of it.
-She is really a great lady. -[King] I can't say hello to her.
It's hard to talk and gag at the same time.
[Vince] Aw, stop it.
Goldust chopping away.
Goldust laying him in, obviously getting the attention
of "The Wildman" Marc Mero.
Mero taking this match on such short notice.
He has trained, of course, for Faarooq.
And if ever there were a divergence of style,
it would be Goldust and anyone,
but certainly Goldust and Faarooq.
-[King] Pounding. -Open the fist up.
[King] You think-- you think Sable looks-- look at Sable.
[Vince] Right now we're looking at Marlena.
-That's Marlena. -[King] Marlena's beautiful.
Look at Sable over there. Did you see that movie
First Wives Club?
-[Vince] No, I have not. -[King] Goldie Hawn got lip inject--
I guarantee you, Sable's had lip injections.
-[Vince] What? -[King] They've gone down now,
but when she first got them, she looked like Mick Jagger after a bar fight.
-[Mr. Perfect laughs] Oh, man. -[King] See her trying to put
-her hands up over her mouth? -[Vince] Here we go!
-[Mr. Perfect] Look at-- -[Vince] Wildman Marc Mero, again,
taking exception to the histrionics of Goldust.
[King] What's he doing?
[Vince] Off the rope and flying head scissor, nicely done.
Into the ropes, Goldust.
Wildman Marc Mero sets him up now.
-Coming off the rope, and back body drop! -[King] Wow!
[Mr. Perfect] Whoa!
[King] Frequent flyer miles with that.
[Vince] Wildman Marc Mero with a clothesline!
And Mero quite the aggressor as Goldust takes a powder.
Look out.
Here we go, over the top!
Forget about it!
[Mr. Perfect] This is the talk that I had with Marc Mero.
He has to take high-risk maneuvers
in order to keep the Intercontinental Championship,
and he's doing exactly that.
[Vince] And Wildman Marc Mero obviously hurting himself.
And again, that's the risk that you take.
-[King] Right. He's stupid! -[Vince] No, indeed not.
[King] Come on, Perfect, you realize that's stupid.
[Mr. Perfect] I think he's got what it takes to be a champion. I really do.
[Vince] Wildman Marc Mero over the top!
Look at that!
That should do it!
Hooks the leg, then cover.
The cover to-- oh, wow.
[King] I think he-- no, he didn't.
[Vince] And Goldust apparently able to kick-out.
Wildman Marc Mero with a hard right hand.
Mero in control, locked in to stay that way.
-[King] Watch this. -[Vince] That's what we saw earlier.
[King] Did you see his leg underneath it? That's right!
[Vince] I don't know who he hurt the most. Himself or Goldust.
Here we go!
Going up! No, wait a minute!
-[Vince] Goldust! -[King] Oh!
[Vince] Marc Mero down to the canvas.
[King] We're gonna have a new champion.
[Mr. Perfect] You may be right.
[Vince] And for a moment, it looked like you were on the edge
of your chair, Mr. Perfect.
[Mr. Perfect] I was on the edge of my chair.
Marc Mero and I, we had a long talk
this afternoon about this Intercontinental match up.
And I'll tell you what--
[Vince] I don't suppose you would care to give us
a little strategy, although early this afternoon,
certainly the strategy was for Faarooq, not for Goldust.
[King] Hey, wait.
I just thought of something.
Whoa, wait a minute.
[Vince] To the outside now.
And Wildman-- oh! No.
[King] There you go.
[Vince] Right into the steel steps.
Come on!
[Vince] Goldust hammering away.
-[King] Let me ask you something, Perfect. -[Mr. Perfect] What?
[King] Is it Marc Mero you're interested in helping?
Or is it maybe Sable you're interested in looking
-a little more closely at. -[Mr. Perfect] Come on.
[King] Well, you're out here stealing Hunter's women all the time.
[Vince] Hunter Hearst Helmsley…
[Mr. Perfect] Trying to do Hunter a favor.
[Vince] …taking exception to you coming out all the time
and walking away with his escorts.
And I would suggest there's more behind that story than we know.
Oh, what a clothesline! Forget about it!
-[King] That should do it. -[Vince] Cover! One, two, and a kick-out.
Boy, "Wildman" Marc Mero will not surrender, will he?
[Mr. Perfect] I don't know. It looks like Goldust,
to me, has the upper hand in this match up.
Marc Mero's got to make a move pretty quick.
[King] I want to ask you something else, Perf.
What have you done with all those women?
You got them in your garage or something?
-[Mr. Perfect] Wouldn't you like to know? -[King] I would.
[Mr. Perfect] Which one do you want me to start with?
-Telling you about it. -[King] I'll tell you something.
Tomorrow night, Hunter has got a little score
-to settle with you. Oh, yeah. -[Mr. Perfect] Oh, really?
[Vince] All right, King, why don't you go ahead and,
since we have all the parties-- well, not all of them--
Helmsley is not here. But why don't you predict a winner?
What's going to happen when Mr. Perfect--
and I would suggest you might be a little bit
rusty, with all due respect--
return to the ring and face…
[King] Better spray yourself with Rustoleum before you get in the ring.
-[Mr. Perfect] Don't worry about me. -[Vince] And ooh!
The knee squarely into the midsection. What about it?
[King] I heard that 98-mile-an-hour fastball is down to about 75.
[Mr. Perfect] Hey, King, don't you worry
or anybody else worry about it.
I've already proved myself here in the World Wrestling Entertainment.
And if anybody thinks I got any rust on me
or thinks I'm not Mr. Perfect 100%, then step up to the plate
-and go to bat and-- -[Vince] Hard count. One, two,
and almost a count of three again.
[Mr. Perfect] Helmsley is just the first of many, believe me.
[King] We'll see tomorrow night, won't we?
[Mr. Perfect] Yeah, Austin's going to get his, too.
First Helmsley, then Austin.
You don't throw a soda in my face and get away with it.
That was a brand-new suit and tie, by the way.
[Vince] Oh, I thought we had seen that blue suit before. I guess not.
[King] Yeah, nice suit.
I passed on that one when I was at K-Mart.
[Mr. Perfect] Of course you did. The Blue Light Special wasn't on.
[Vince] In any event, again, back.
Boy, we had some difficulty out here
directing attention to the ring and the action in the ring.
Some individuals seem to be somewhat self-absorbed with themselves.
-[King] Speaking of Sable… -[Vince] Wildman Marc Mero.
[King] Is she wearing some of those Halloween wax lips?
[Vince] Stop it. Listen. Listen.
This capacity crowd right behind The Wildman,
who throws excellent rights and lefts.
Goldust set up. No.
Reversal, coming off the rope, underneath the clothesline,
from the other side.
-Ducking under again, and… -[King] Oh!
[Vince] Body press!
One, two, and yes!
[Mr. Perfect] No, no, Ref, that was a slow count right there!
Forgot about another clothesline!
[Vince] I mean, a devastating clothesline.
[Mr. Perfect] That was a slow count.
Marc Mero should be the winner of this match up right now.
[King] That was a perfect clothesline. [laughs]
[Mr. Perfect] Yeah.
-[Vince] Goldust, looking about… -[King] You're the man, Goldust!
-The ringside area from-- what's he doing? What's he asking for?
[King] Huh?
[Vince] What?
-Asking for the micro-- -Shut the hell up!
[Vince] Aw, come on.
[King] That microphone works fine.
[booing]
Hey, he's going to pull one of my tricks.
He's going to do commentary while he wrestles.
You don't shut up right now, I'm coming out there personally
and I'm gonna stick my tongue--
[Vince] All right.
We don't need to hear any of this, none of this.
[King] It's that long kiss goodnight I was telling you about.
[booing]
[Vince] And again, Goldust--
[King] The only reason he's here is because of WWE's
-don't ask, don't tell policy. -[Vince] Oh, stop it!
[Mr. Perfect] Oh, wow.
[Vince] What do you think this is, the US Army?
[King] WWE.
Come on, Goldust!
Get up!
[Mr. Perfect] A few good men.
[Vince] Is that Bill Clinton's personal philosophy?
-[Vince] Uh-oh, here we go! -[King] Here we go! Another stupid--
[Vince] Climbing up to the top, Wildman Marc Mero.
-[King] Look at this. -[Vince] Look at that! What a risk-taker!
That's it! And a cover!
-Yes, give it-- -[King] No!
[Mr. Perfect] Come on!
The referee was out of position!
Come on, Ref!
[Vince] The Wildman, uh-oh, face-first to the buckle-- oh,
to the kidney area.
Goldust now in control. Uh-oh.
-[King] Here we go! -[Vince] Here we go!
[King] Yes!
The Final Curtain, baby!
[Vince] Goldust with the Final Curtain, ready to put it
-on The Wildman! No! -[King] Look out!
Oh, he goes all the way behind him!
Look at this maneuver! Yes!
-One, two, he-- -[King] No!
-[Mr. Perfect] Did he get him? -[Vince] No. Count of two.
-[King] Two-count! -[Vince] Here we go now!
Wildman Marc-- oh, no! No!
Down to the outside!
[Mr. Perfect] Oh, my!
[Vince] Wildman Marc Mero dumped over the top rope by Goldust.
[King] Wait a minute. Look at Sable going around.
-She's got no business around there. -[Vince] Goldust now.
[King] Look at that woman at ringside in the red trying to help him.
[Vince] That's not a woman.
Again, Goldust pummeling away on Wildman Marc Mero.
Although Goldust realizes he cannot win the title via countout.
He must make Mero submit or he must cover him
for the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
[King] Watch this.
[Vince] Unbelievable maneuver we saw earlier on.
You're talking about a high risk, someone willing to risk his--
[King] Okay, look at the referee.
[Mr. Perfect] I can't handle this.
Someone's got to do something, some authority around here.
This referee is absolutely doing nothing.
-Hold on. -[King] What are you doing?
Hey!
-What is he doing, McMahon? -[Vince] Mr. Perfect off headset.
[King] He thinks he's the perfect referee.
[Vince] Taking exception to what's going on with the official.
[King] Oh, wait. He may be going after Sable.
[Vince] He's out with Wildman Marc Mero
having a conversation.
Wait a minute.
Hunter Hearst Helmsley coming out!
[King] Uh-oh.
Here we go, baby!
[Vince] Well, it looks like we're not going to wait till tomorrow night.
Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Mr. Perfect, here we go!
Anything can happen here in World Wrestling Entertainment.
And it's going to happen right now at Buried Alive:
In Your House!
Mr. Perfect in a foul mood.
Look out!
[King] He's gonna get him! Oh!
[Vince] Goldust knocked down!
[applause]
[King] What's the deal?
Come on.
[Vince] The official trying to get control
of this whole situation now.
And back in the ring, we've got Wildman Marc Mero
and Goldust to the buckle.
And look, here we go! Can he get the Samoan drop on him?
Yes, he did!
[applause]
-[King] No! -[Vince] Oh, no!
-Will we see the Wild Thing? -[King] What's the big idea, Perfect?
-[Mr. Perfect] What do you mean? -[King] Why are you over there?
[Vince] He's going up to the top!
[Mr. Perfect] The referee wasn't doing anything about it!
[Vince] Here we go!
Will we see the Wild Thing?
-[King] No! -[Vince] Yes!
-[Mr. Perfect] There it is, right there! -[Vince] One, two! He got it!
He got it!
[King] Hey!
[announcer] The winner of this match
and still World Wrestling…
[King] Come on, McMahon!
What's going on around here?
[announcer] …Wildman Marc Mero!
[Vince] There you have it, ladies and gentlemen!
The Wildman Marc Mero victorious over Goldust.
And Mr. Perfect right in the middle of Sable
and the Intercontinental Champion,
The Wildman Marc Mero!
Oh, my goodness, and what a Wild Thing it was.
Have you ever seen anything like this?
Only in WWE can you see this kind of athleticism.
Unbelievable!
As we take another look at it,
what a death-defying, risk-taking maneuver
that was by The Wildman Marc Mero.
And a big smile, justifiably…
-[King] On those big lips. -[Vince] …on Sable's face.
Stop it.
[King] Man.
[Vince] And a tremendous appreciation
from this capacity crowd.
Mr. Perfect congratulating Sable.
[King] Mero, you ought to be thanking Mr. Perfect!
-He went over and slugged Goldust! -[Vince] Wait a minute.
[King] Hey.
[Vince] And there's JR back there with Razor, Diesel.
America Online, folks.
In Your House: Buried Alive, who's going to be buried?
You can find out, America Online, with WWE.
Online team gives you complete coverage,
rather-- easy for me to say--
Buried Alive.
Also, the superstars of WWE live in cyberspace.
-[King] I know one thing. -[Vince] Inside scoop. What?
[King] I'd like to have a transcript of what's on America Online right now,
what's going on out there.
-[Vince] No telling what JR is saying. -[King] Yeah.
-You might want to see that yourself. -[Vince] I don't think-- well,
if his microphone wasn't working,
you can certainly bet that his keyboard is.
It's a battle of the powerbombs, ladies and gentlemen,
just moments away.
It's Sycho Sid, a monster, against the man they call Vader.
[Vader] Bomb goes off.
You're not the master of the powerbomb!
[Commentator] Uh-oh! Powerbomb time!
[Vince] This is trouble!
Here comes the powerbomb!
[J.R.] Sycho Sid's up!
[Vince] Oh!
[Commentator] Oh, the powerbomb!
[narrator] The feud between these two monsters
began when Vader accused Sid of stealing his powerbomb.
The next time you use his move,
you just remember, Vader's going to come
and nobody's going to be able to pull him off of you!
[narrator] Nevertheless, the debate rages on.
Whose powerbomb is best?
At 6' 9", the height advantage goes to Sid.
There's no question that I am master of the powerbomb.
[narrator] But The Mastodon has 140 pounds on Sid,
so the power advantage goes to Vader.
-[Vince] Here we go, and… -[King] No!
Sycho Sid, the irresistible force
is fixing to come down on you, the master of the powerbomb.
And you rule nothing.
[narrator] It's quite apparent that both powerbombs
inflict serious damage.
Who has the most powerful powerbomb?
Well, I've taken Sid's powerbomb…
[Vince] Up we go, and down!
…and I've taken Vader's powerbomb.
[J.R.] Here we go! Here we go! If Vader hits this, it's over.
-[King] He got it! -[Commentator] Oh, the powerbomb!
And to be perfectly honest, I was knocked out after both of them.
So if you're asking "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels,
they're both equally as effective, as far as I'm concerned.
[narrator] At tonight's In Your House: Buried Alive,
one man will be the master.
He's gonna go through you like
Ex-Lax through a widow woman!
Final extinction here for you, Vader.
[bell rings]
[Vince] And remember, ladies and gentlemen, the winner
of this match up will face the WWE Champion
at Survivor Series.
That will be November 17.
And here we go. [laughs]
[announcer] From West Memphis, Arkansas…
[Vince] Everybody on their feet!
[announcer] …313 pounds…
[Vince] Listen to this!
[announcer] …Sycho Sid!
[cheering]
[Sycho Sid's music playing]
Who's the man?!
[cheering]
[Vince] You can hardly hear yourself think here.
This capacity crowd very much in favor of this monster
known as Sycho Sid.
The battle of the powerbombs, indeed.
[King] We all know that Sycho Sid's elevator doesn't go
all the way to the top floor.
What do you think about these moronic fans of his?
[Vince] Look at that reaction!
[cheering]
And Sid likely to feed off that positive reinforcement.
And he's going to need everything he can possibly
muster up to square off against The Mastodon,
ladies and gentlemen.
-We were talking about-- yes, it's time. -[King] Oh, yeah!
[Vince] And he has his fans as well.
[Vince] Led by Jim Cornette.
[announcer] His opponent, accompanied down the aisle
by James E. Cornette, from the Rocky Mountains,
weighing 458 pounds, the man they call Vader!
[Vader's music playing]
[Vince] Look at that look of determination,
his eyes straight away into the eyes of Sycho Sid.
[King] And he'll see there's nobody home
when he looks at Sycho Sid's eyes.
[Vince] Cornette, the brains behind the brawn.
And we're talking brawn here, plenty of it. Oh, yeah!
We have a huge crowd on hand.
Live, ladies and gentlemen, In Your House.
Vader and Sid will let it all hang out.
Vader and Sid will let the fur fly in this one,
because they know it's a trip to the Survivor Series
and a trip to lock up with a WWE Champion.
[King] I'll go so far as to say--
[announcer] And now, ladies and gentleman…
[Vince] Wait a minute. What's this?
[announcer] …the man who will meet…
[King] What?
[announcer] …the winner of this contest
at the upcoming Survivor…
[Vince] Here he comes!
[King] What's he doing here?
[announcer] …Wrestling Entertainment champion,
The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels!
♪ I'm just a sexy boy ♪
[Vince] Unbelievable.
[King] Listen to the crowd now, McMahon!
I'm sick of the place!
♪ Sexy boy ♪
[Vince] The most charismatic WWE Champion of all time
in the squared circle!
♪ I make them hot ♪
There you go!
♪ Their knees get weak ♪
♪ Whenever I'm around ♪
♪ They see me walk ♪
These two have had their battles before.
Battle of the Powerbombs.
And I believe-- oh, wait a minute.
Cornette getting right into the face of the W--
Look, a hanky.
Cornette just lost his--
uh-oh.
And--
♪ I'm just a sexy boy, sexy boy ♪
Oh-- oh, my goodness! Wait a minute!
[cheering]
Wait a minute!
[King] What are you--
[Vince] Here we go! The match has begun!
[King] Wait a minute!
-[Vince] Sid! -[Shawn] What do you say, Kingfish?
[Vince] Oh, look out! Dropping the leg!
[Shawn] You miss me, baby?
[Vince] One, two, and almost a count of three there!
The WWE Champion, Shawn Michaels,
joining us here with a headset on for commentary.
[King] We had Perfect out here! We've gone from bad to worse!
[Shawn chuckles] You've got me, Kingfish! The man!
-[Vince] Look at this. -[Shawn] Three! Four!
-Five! -[Vince] And Sid--
[Shawn] I can't count any higher. Thank goodness he stopped.
[King] Use your other hand.
-[Vince] And Shawn Michaels… -[Shawn] I do have two.
[Vince] …getting a first-hand look.
A block there-- of the, well, the two individuals,
one of these two individuals
you will face at Survivor Series for the WWE title.
I knew you wouldn't allow me to enjoy my one day off.
[Vince] Wait a minute. You're looking right up at it.
-I mean, come on. -I know, believe me.
You're looking at two monsters here in the World Wrestling Entertainment.
And lucky me, I get one of them.
There's one guy in the WWE I wouldn't want to be-- me.
[chuckles] It's me. I can't even talk. I'm scared.
[Vince] You wouldn't want to be The King either.
-[King] Huh? -No.
[King] Oh!
[Vince] Oh, my goodness! Forget about it!
[King] It ain't-- it ain't easy being me.
It ain't easy working for you either. [chuckles]
[King] Is there any thought of ever getting a haircut in the future?
Why do you think I've got this mop out?
-[Vince] All right, in any event… -Draw a little of attention.
Vader hammering away on Sid.
Look out. Here he comes!
[King] Oh!
[Vince] Forget about it.
And right now, Vader attempting…
[booing]
…to dominate the match up.
Sid to the outside.
[Shawn] What do you do--
what do you do when a big man like that knocks down a 6' 9",
300-pound Sycho Sid?
What's he going to do to little old me?
[Vince] Yeah, well, I don't know.
Sid will collect himself, and Sid will get right back up
and get right back in this.
Come on, Sid! Come on, big man!
Let's go!
[King] Sounds like you've got a fear of big men.
You know what? There's a name for that.
Fee, fi, phobia.
-[Shawn] Fear of big men. -[King] That's right.
-[Vince] Fee, fi, phobia? -[King] Yeah.
-[Vince] Wait a minute! -[Shawn] Believe me, I got it in spades.
-[Vince] Aw, come on! You-- -[King] Hey, come on!
-[Vince] I thought you gave him a-- -[Shawn] I'm supposed to sit here?
[Vince] Are you out here to do commentary or interfere in this match?
Conduct yourself like an announcer.
[Shawn] I'm not an announcer.
[Vince] And Sid suffering the effects
of the shots earlier with Vader as well as Jim Cornette.
And again, Vader patiently waiting for Sid
to get back into the ring.
Not a fight--
[King] Sid laying there reminds me of Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
-[Vince] We're up to seven. -[Shawn] Come on, Sid!
-[Vince] Sid better make a quick move. -[King] Sid's about to count out!
[Vince] We're not, and Vader now breaks the count!
Vader with a hard right hand!
Vader hammering away on Sid!
Look at this!
Oh, wait a minute!
[Shawn] Starting to mount a comeback!
[Vince] To the midsection!
-Over he goes! -[King] Look at that!
[Vince] Look at the big man trying to get Vader down!
-[King] Oh! -[Vince] Right in the chest!
[King] Have a seat, Vader!
[Vince] Oh, my goodness.
And Vader, all 400-some odd pounds squarely
down into the sternum. I don't care who you are.
You can have armor plates, and you're going to feel the effect of that.
[King] Now Sid's got the pirate's dream.
-[Vince] Now what? -[King] Pirate's dream, a sunken chest.
[laughs]
[Shawn] Rarely do you see any man that size who move that well.
What quickness, what speed by these two men.
[King] Wow!
[Vince] And Vader, clothesline, and finally knocking
Sid down to the Canvas.
And Vader again.
[booing]
[Shawn] You better be on Sid instead of hamming up to the crowd.
I got news for you.
You don't stay on Sycho Sid,
he's going to beat you to death.
[King] You're a fine one to be talking about hamming up to the crowd.
[Vince] Oh, wait a minute, now. Some people can get away with it.
Oh, wait a minute! Out of nowhere! Look at that!
-[Shawn] That's what I get paid to do. -[King] How did he lift Vader?
[Vince] Unbelievable, the strength just exhibited there
by one Sycho Sid.
A Mastodon suplex down to the canvas.
[Shawn] Hey, Sid has gone through about ten training partners
since being back in World Wrestling Entertainment.
Nobody can hang and bang like Sycho Sid, not even Vader.
[Crowd] Sycho Sid!
[King] What about Shawn Michaels? Huh?
[Shawn] I am not built on strength. I'm not built on speed.
I am built on all the above.
That's why I am the World Wrestling Entertainment Champion.
-[King] Look at those shots to the face. -[Vince] Yes.
Vader now with Sid. No.
Out-- well, reversal.
[King] Oh!
-[Vince] And here comes Sid! -[King] Oh!
[Vince] Right to the midsection! Sid now with Vader.
What's he going to do with him? He has him out!
No reversal by Vader.
To the buckle, and-- oh, forget about it!
-Right in the butt of the jaw. -[Shawn] Boot for lunch, Vader.
[Vince] Sid now to the outside.
-Oh, wait a minute. -[Shawn] Sid going up top! There he is!
[Vince] This is very uncharacteristic.
Could this be a page from the book of Shawn Michaels?
-[Shawn] What? Oh, man! -[King] Wow!
-[Shawn] Look at the strength of Vader! -[Vince] Unbelievable strength
on the part of the man they call Vader!
[Shawn] Unreal!
[Vince] How did he catch Sid from the top?
[King] I don't know, but I wish Jim Ross were back out here
because then that microphone you're using there,
Shawn Michaels, wouldn't be working.
[Vince] And… agh!
Forget about it!
-One, two, and… No! [King] Got him!
[Vince] No.
Sid. He got that left shoulder up just in the nick of time.
[King] Yeah, let me ask you point-blank.
Who do you want to win, Shawn?
[Shawn] I find myself sitting here cheering for Sid.
But, you know, he's the guy I'd have to face next.
I've been dropped on my head by him.
I've been dropped on my head by Vader.
But I've got a soft--
I've got a soft spot for Sid. I got him out of a loony bin.
[King] Soft spot in your head if want to face him.
-[Shawn] Getting soft spots everywhere. -[Vince] All right. In any event-- oh, no.
Here we go, ladies and gentlemen! Here he comes!
Vader now ready to polish off Sycho Sid!
Look at this!
[Shawn] Vader senses that he's got-- he's done.
-[King] Oh! -[Vince] Forget about it!
-One, two, and-- -[King] What?
[Vince] Wait a minute.
[Shawn] Oh, man.
[King] That's it. That's all right. He's finished.
[Vince] No, no, no. He's going to go for the Vader Bomb.
That's what he's got-- Cornette is pleading.
Cornette is pleading for Vader to go for the Vader Bomb.
Cornette saying, go up. Go on up.
[King] He's pleading for him to pin him.
But he'll pin him after this, Jimmy, don't worry.
[Shawn] If you got a chance to pin Sid, you better jump on it fast.
[Vince] Here we go!
-The man they call Vader! -[Shawn] Oh, I've been underneath this!
[Vince] Trying to make a name for himself in a big way and… Oh!
[King] No!
[Vince] Sid raising his knees into the midsection.
Sid now with a clothesline!
[Shawn] He should have taken advantage of Sid
when he had him.
-[Vince] Sid now, but Vader scoops him! -[King] What?
[Vince] Unbelievable!
[Shawn] Yeah, boy!
Finish him! Finish him!
[cheering]
Finish him, Sid!
Finish him!
[Vince] Sid with Vader! What's he going to do with him?
-[Shawn] Oh, if he gets this-- -[Vince] Don't tell me!
-[King] I don't think he can do it! -[Vince] It's impossible!
[King] I don't think he can lift him. [Vince] Cornette!
[King] Get in there, Jimmy!
[Shawn] Sid-- hey!
[King] Oh!
[Vince] Oh, no.
Oh, no.
And Vader takes over on Sid.
Off the rope, boot to the midsection.
Here we go.
[cheering]
It's powerbomb time!
-[King] Oh! -[Vince] No!
-[Vince] Oh, no. -[King] Oh, Sid, how did that feel?
[Vince] Behind the official's back.
[King] Yes! Yes!
[Vince] Vader.
[Shawn] I don't wanna say anything, but I know what works.
I may have to steal that one come Survivor Series.
[Vince] And Vader resorting to dastardly tactics against Sid.
-And, uh-oh. -[King] Powerbomb!
[Vince] Here we go.
Here comes a powerbomb!
Vader sets up Sid.
[King] Get him way up there.
[Vince] And here we go-- no.
[King] Huh?
Get him!
[Vince] Vader come-- no.
Vader now.
What's he gonna do?
A right hand.
Vader pummeling Sycho Sid.
Sid from the other side.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute!
Vader's down on the canvas.
A cover! Two! He got it! -[Shawn] He got it!
[cheering]
[King] Wait a minute.
[announcer] Here is your winner, Sycho Sid!
[Vince] Unbelievable.
And now, ladies and gentlemen-- can you believe this, Shawn Michaels?
You face Sycho Sid, New York City, Madison Square Garden,
the Survivor Series.
[Shawn] Who is gonna to survive, HBK or Sycho Sid?
I cheered for Sid.
Now, I gotta bring him down.
-[King] Gotta do what? -[Vince] Gotta bring him down.
[King] I think Shawn Michaels thinks that just because he
and Sid are big buddies, that Sid's gonna take it easy on him.
He's been sadly mistaken.
[Vince] And in the ring now, ladies and gentlemen…
[King] What's Shawn gonna do? Is he gonna hit him from behind?
[Vince] Friends for some time, there he is, the WWE champion.
And Sid, these two will face each other.
I'm not saying this is an upset.
It certainly is not.
But nonetheless, a very interesting
turn of events that these two friends--
[King] Look. Look. Don't speak too soon, McMahon.
They don't look like friends right now, do they?
[Vince] It's Sid against Shawn Michaels
for the World Wrestling Entertainment title, and…
[King] No!
[cheering]
[Vince] Uh-huh.
Sid wins the match up.
And Vader probably will rue the day that he had to listen
to Cornette's advice.
Nonetheless, Sid, one-on-one with Shawn Michaels,
Madison Square Garden, ladies and gentlemen, on November 17.
What a weekend it's gonna be.
[narrator] New York, it's the city that never sleeps.
And you won't even have time to sleep,
when the biggest superstars in the world
take over the biggest city in the world.
On Saturday, November 16, it's the annual WWE Hall of Fame
banquet from the Marriott Marquis
in Times Square, where the stars from yesterday
meet the stars of today.
Then Sunday, November 17, it's the biggest pay-per-view event
of the fall, the 1996 WWE Survivor Series,
live from Madison Square Garden.
We know these guys could survive the Big Apple.
Can New York survive the WWE Survivor Series weekend?
[cars honking]
Wow, what a weekend it is going to be,
November 16th, the Hall of Fame, the inductees.
My first Hall of Fame happened last year.
Then the following evening, November 17,
the most famous arena in the world, Madison Square Garden
and Survivor Series.
And I guess we know what the main event will be right now.
And I'm waiting on who will be the challenger, November 17.
It's Survivor Series.
Gosh, I'm excited!
-Sycho Sid… -[Vince] Hey, Dok.
…meets-- yeah, what?
[Vince] Let's not forget inviting everyone to join us live in the Garden
-and the number to dial for Ticketmaster. -I was trying to do that.
[Vince] I know, but we'll do it for you.
212, ladies and gentlemen, the area code of the--
that's of course where the World Champion New York Yankees are gonna to be.
212-307-7171 for ticket information, ladies and gentlemen,
as to how you can be a part of Survivor Series
at the world's greatest arena.
And let's go back to Dok.
-Dok, you back there with Sid? -[Dok] Yes, I am. Sid, congratulations.
I just gotta ask ya.
How must it feel to know that now your destiny is in hand
-in November seven-- -[J.R.] Wait a minute, Dok.
Just some more softballs. No more McMahon questions.
Sid, let's lay it right here on the line.
-What's your question, little man? -I wanna ask you a question.
Were you not at one time Shawn Michael's best friend, his bodyguard?
Yes, I was!
Did you powerbomb him five times on RAW?
Of course I did!
Will you do anything you can, including breaking his back,
to become the WWE champion at Survivor Series?
The question is simple!
Yes, I will!
I will do anything I have to--
to go to my destiny and make my conquer
to prove that I am the man!
I am the master and the ruler of the world.
[J.R.] Thank you, Sid. Go head Dok. Good job.
[Vince] Uh, thanks, Dok.
No problem with the microphone then.
[Vince] No, no problem at all. And as a matter of fact,
we had cleared up up the microphone problem just before JR left.
In any event, you wonder what--
speculate what kind of a match are we gonna see with Sid?
You don't have to wonder. You gotta hand it to JR right there.
Jim Ross got down to business. He went right to the heart of the matter.
He asked the questions that needed to be asked.
You're right. What kind of man is Sycho Sid?
You gotta remember that, McMahon.
Shawn Michaels comes up one day. They were best of buddies.
He was his bodyguard. He gives him the day off,
and Sycho Sid gives Shawn Michaels five powerbombs.
[Vince] That was then-- that was then.
Michael's responsible for Sid coming back to WWE.
[King] He'll powerbomb him again at Survivor Series.
Get ready, Shawn Michaels.
[Vince] I do know this.
We're just minutes away from someone being buried alive here.
-[King] Look out! -[Vince] Look out! Look out!
Down below, look out!
[King] Oh, my gosh!
[Mankind] I'll make every night of your life…
[King] Mankind is burying The Undertaker.
[Mankind] …the longest one you've ever known.
[Vince] And Mankind trying to seal Undertaker up in that--
into that casket.
[Undertaker] What you've done, Mankind…
[King] And he's beating that casket with a steel pole!
[Undertaker] You have awakened the beast…
[Vince] Mankind, how did he get there?
How did he do what he did?
[Undertaker] …who has laid silent for a long time.
-[Vince] How the… -[bell dinging]
How the hell did he get there?
I don't believe it!
[J.R.] The Undertaker was inadvertently
hit with his own urn.
[Mankind] I've destroyed The Undertaker!
[Vince] And The Undertaker on one knee
as we've seen so many, many times before.
[Mankind] The baddest man to walk the World Wrestling Entertainment.
[Vince] Oh no!
[King] Oh, come on!
[Mankind] Until now.
[Vince] How could The Undertaker possibly understand
what has happened here?
What has possessed Paul Bearer?
-[Vince] Wait just a minute! Look at this! -[bell dinging]
Mankind up from the bottom of the ring!
The Undertaker sucked down underneath the ring!
[Undertaker] Psychological warfare…
[Vince] Oh, wait a minute!
[cheering]
From the other side, The Undertaker coming up from the depths.
[Undertaker] …will be the demise…
[Paul] The Undertaker's gone.
The Undertaker's passed away.
[Undertaker] …of Mankind.
[J.R.] The Phenom is here!
[Vince] The Undertaker and Mankind pummeling each other!
[Mankind] For every person who says, "Aren't you ashamed?"
[J.R.] This resembles a prison riot.
[Mankind] "You've destroyed The Undertaker's fans.
You've brought them pain."
[J.R.] They fought all over the building, apparently.
What a war between these two.
[Mankind] I say it's about time!
[Vince] Mankind and The Undertaker again going at it.
[Undertaker] Mankind, I will dig your grave.
[Mankind] Paul, I don't wanna be buried alive.
[Paul] They're not going to.
[Undertaker] You won't have a nice day.
[Mankind] This grave is too short for The Undertaker.
[Undertaker] I am going to bury you alive.
[Vince] And there-- well, that's where it's gonna wind up.
And again, remember, this is the first ever
unsanctioned match by World Wrestling Entertainment.
[King] Exactly, McMahon, what does that mean?
Non-sanctioned? That means you just--
[Vince] That means we're not taking official responsibility. That's what.
[King] I don't blame you.
[Vince] Would you want to participate in a match up like this?
You said earlier--
[King] No, I would not.
There's no way I would.
Would you?
[Vince] Definitely not.
[King] I don't think Shawn Michaels would.
I don't think Sycho Sid-- well, Psycho Sid…
No, I don't even think he would.
I don't think anybody would.
[Vince] Well, both men, both Mankind and The Undertaker,
asked for this match.
And, boy, are they ever gonna get it.
[King] Well, that's because they're both weird, McMahon, strange.
I mean, you know, they're not right.
[Vince] Mankind, the most deranged individual
in the history of the World Wrestling Entertainment,
being led to the ring by the turncoat,
indeed, the bulbous Paul Bearer.
[King] He's a little weird too.
You know, he was a kid at Halloween, they--
parents wouldn't let him have a jack-o-lantern.
They just made Paul Bearer sit in the window.
[Vince] Paul Bearer with the urn in hand.
And Mankind, at home, perhaps…
[King] Whoa.
[Vince] …in his own cellar, if you would.
And, boy, is he ever gonna go six feet under
if The Undertaker is right.
The Undertaker said earlier on
that he would do anything, indeed even destroy himself,
to destroy Mankind.
I wonder if, in fact, we're not gonna see that.
-[Undertaker's music playing] -[cheering]
[King] Whoa.
Whoa.
[Vince] Well, we've seen a number of firsts
here tonight, ladies and gentlemen, live on pay-per-view
as only the World Wrestling Entertainment can bring you.
And here comes, indeed, The Phenom, The Undertaker.
[cheering]
Someone is gonna use that very shovel
and bury the other individual alive.
And there he is.
[King] He looks right at home around a grave, McMahon.
[Vince] Now, lightning and thunder
going off here, ladies and gentlemen, Market Square Arena.
[King] Yeah, I think it's raining in here.
[thunder rumbling]
[Vince] The Undertaker against Mankind.
Somebody's literally gonna be buried alive.
-What are you doing? -[King] It's raining in here or something.
[Vince] The match will start in the ring and wind up--
[King] Whoa.
[Vince] My goodness.
[King] Get out of there, Paul Bearer.
This is gonna-- get somewhere. Here they go.
[bell dinging]
[Vince] A slugfest ensuing right off the bat.
Undertaker, Mankind, each man trying to assert himself.
Uh-oh, look at this.
They have had wars in the past.
I believe Jim Ross phrased it "a prison riot," at one time.
They have had unbelievable battles,
but those battles will come to a brusk halt,
I would suggest, right here tonight, one way or another.
[King] Yeah, prison brawl is what
uh-- "prison riot" is what Jim Ross called it
when his microphone worked.
Go low! No!
[Vince] Oh, my goodness.
The Undertaker taking it to Mankind.
Now remember, no-holds-barred, to say the least
here in this match up.
And you wonder, not only does The Undertaker
want to even the score with Man--
Uh-oh.
Oh, no! Did you hear that?
Did you see that?
The back of the head of Mankind crashing into the barrier.
And again, they're a long ways away from the grave.
Maybe not.
The Undertaker up to the top rope!
-And… -[King] No!
[Vince] Oh, no.
[King] What in the world?
Never seen that in my life.
You were right when he said he'd destroy himself
to take care of Mankind.
He almost did right there.
[Vince] The Undertaker crawling back over.
Now-- now he's standing.
The Undertaker-- Again, the double feature.
-Live action to the right. From the top. -[King] Unbelievable.
-Look at that, unbelievable. -[King] Geez!
[Vince] Oh, no!
Ah, right into the retaining barrier again.
Undertaker and Mankind getting closer.
Yes, they're getting closer to the grave, to the graveside.
Undertaker…
[King] Undertaker's just naturally drawn to that grave.
But, Mankind, you better get--
you don't wanna take the big dirt nap, baby!
Get out of there!
[Vince] Oh, no.
The Undertaker with a shovel.
What-- The Undertaker now with-- with Mankind.
What's he doing?
No, no!
Oh, no.
And Mankind with the butt of that shovel
right into the throat of The Undertaker.
Here comes Mankind up on the mound.
Mankind now with The Undertaker, sets him up.
What's he gonna do? Oh, no!
Here we go!
It's time!
No, no!
And both men rolling right back down the hill,
down into the dirt.
-[King] Unbelievable. -[Vince] Undertaker, Mankind.
Well, they're actually-- they're just picking
-right up where they left off. -[King] Yeah. Get back to the ring.
Get back up here.
[Vince] This is worse than the Boiler Room Brawl.
Mankind backing away from the graveside area.
He's covered in dirt, covered in filth.
The Undertaker with a boot to the midsection.
[King] Oh.
[Vince] What a shot there, an uppercut.
Mankind down now.
[King] Come on, Mankind, grab The Undertaker.
Throw him out there into those idiots' laps
and see the-- see the--
[Vince] See the what, the formaldehyde
ooze from his pore?
[King] Yes.
[Vince] Oh, no.
[cheering]
[King] We may be seeing something else oozing here in a minute.
[Vince] Mankind, The Undertaker back into the ring,
covered in dirt.
And indeed someone is going to take that proverbial dirt nap,
ladies and gentlemen…
[King] Ooh.
[Vince] …right here live.
[King] Wonder if her Undertaker knows she got up.
[Vince] Beg your pardon.
There are a lot of creatures of the night here in Indianapolis.
[King] She looked like a creature, all right.
[Vince] And again. Ah!
Mankind now right out in front of us.
The Undertaker taking it to Mankind.
-Thus far, The Undertaker-- -[King] Look out. Look out!
[Vince] Oh, no.
We've got microphone cord.
[King] See, that's what was wrong with Ross's microphone.
Look at this!
[Vince] The Undertaker using the microphone cord.
[King] I haven't seen this much choking since the Cardinals played the Braves.
[Vince] Goodness.
[King] Come on, Rick, get over here.
[Vince] Oh, no, they're taking-- they're going right out.
They're going right out into the crowd. Mankind…
[King] They are out there. Look at this!
[Vince] Undertaker going right out in this capacity crowd,
backing out.
They're taking it to each other all over the place.
Mankind-- oh, no!
[King] Wow.
And look out!
[cheering]
[Vince] Undertaker and Mankind pulling out all stops.
[King] I'm telling ya, after they get through with each other,
buried alive may be a blessing.
It may be-- that may be the only way
they'll be able to get any rest or feel good after this match.
-[Vince] A form of mercy of some kind. -[King] Yeah.
[Vince] Into the ring now, Mankind.
I just thought we had seen it all before in the Boiler Room Brawl.
That was only the beginning.
Mankind and The Undertaker having
a row here tonight, ladies and gentlemen,
live on pay-per-view…
[King] Ooh!
[Vince] …as only the WWE can bring you.
Undertaker.
Look at this. Let's watch.
[cheering]
And now, back to live action.
Mankind being restrained by The Undertaker.
Headbutt.
[King] Look at all of Mankind's hair Undertaker's pulling out.
[Vince] Undertaker now, with Mankind in tow, winds him up.
Uh-oh.
[King] Mankind, you're gonna have to mount an offensive.
[Vince] I don't know that he's capable.
[King] Look at this.
[Vince] The Undertaker, with unbelievable bal--
-[King] Oh! -[Vince] Paul Bearer.
[King] Paul Bearer.
[Vince] Paul Bearer got up and grabbed that top rope.
And now The Undertaker is in trouble.
Can Mankind capitalize on the actions of Paul Bearer?
Look at that nasty scalp where there used to be hair on Mankind.
The Undertaker stated earlier he would even destroy
himself to destroy Mankind.
I'm not so sure that the same is--
is not true on the part of Mankind.
[King] Mankind's not that bad a guy.
I understand that after every one of his matches…
[Vince] Watch Paul Bearer.
-[King] What? Oh, yeah. -[Vince] What were you saying?
[King] Well, Paul Bearer told me that after Mankind beats his opponent,
he politely asks for one of their ears.
-[Vince] Yeah. -[King] Oh.
[Vince] That mangled right ear of Mankind
somewhat of a trademark.
And again, if Mankind can put the Mandible Claw--
he may have had--
had it partially sunken into the esophagus
there of The Undertaker.
And it would not be the first time The Undertaker
has felt the wrath of Mankind.
[King] If he can get that paralyzing claw on The Undertaker, that'll--
that'll finish him. And then all he's gotta do is
pick him up, drop him in that hole back there, and pour the dirt on him.
[Vince] They're a long ways away from the cemetery,
as we speak.
There it is.
Undertaker in trouble.
Now, Mankind attempting to dominate the match up.
A block by The Undertaker.
And Mankind, face first to the buckle.
[King] Oh!
Undertaker, what an uppercut.
[King] Man.
Look at Paul Bearer. What's Paul Bearer doing?
[Vince] Giving advi-- wait a minute. I think he's giving more than advice.
I think Paul Bearer just gave Mankind some sort of object.
[King] Oh, come on, McMahon.
[Vince] Look at-- right there in his right hand.
-What is it? -[King] What is it?
[Vince] Now, I don't believe,
even though this is a no-holds-barred match.
Paul Bearer, some sort of an instrument of some kind.
I don't know how sharp it might be.
But even though this is a No Holds Barred match up,
surely this is not to be allowed in this match.
Oh, no.
[King] You said yourself, McMahon, anything goes.
[Vince] But not that.
There has to be some semblance of order.
-Otherwise, there is only anarchy. -[King] No, there does not.
-You said no-holds-barred. -[Vince] I understand.
[King] You said anything goes.
[Vince] The Undertaker…
[crowd chanting] Rest in peace! Rest in peace!
…listening to this capacity crowd.
[King] Ooh!
Jamming that thing into the head of The Undertaker.
[crowd chanting] Rest in peace! Rest in peace!
[Vince] Mankind with The Undertaker, sends him to the buckle. Here he comes.
-Oh! -[King] Oh!
[Vince] Undertaker with an elbow.
It was almost more defensive than offensive.
[King] Look out, Mankind. You dropped whatever it is Paul Bearer gave you.
[Vince] Wait a minute. Yes. And now-- oh, no.
The Undertaker striking Mankind with that same object.
[King] You're right, this is not right. Get in there, referee.
[Vince] Why are you saying it's not right now?
[King] It's not fair.
[Vince] It's not right now. I'll grant you that.
It wasn't right then.
Mankind now, reversing things.
The Undertaker, underneath, from the other side
and way upstairs!
[cheering]
Nonetheless, this war continuing.
And it won't stop until one of these men
is literally buried alive.
And a leg drop.
And this match no doubt will take its toll, as no--
as no match-- what did Paul do?
Wait a minute.
There.
[King] He may have pulled the ropes one time too many.
[Vince] Paul Bearer backing off.
The Undertaker slowly stalking Paul Bearer.
[King] Get out of there.
[Vince] Undertaker to get his mitts on Paul Bearer.
Mankind going after The Undertaker.
Look out from behind.
[King] Anything goes, baby!
[Vince] Oh, yeah, you got that right.
[King] No way!
-[Vince] Oh, no. -[King] Oh!
What?
[Vince] But look.
That slug. Oh!
-[King] Oh! -[Vince] Forget about it!
[King] Nothing left now, McMahon,
but put him in the grave.
Ooh.
[Vince] Listen.
[cheering]
And again, The Undertaker would not want you to--
to feel sorry for him in any way in this match up,
I assure you, despite the pounding.
Oh, forget it.
[King] Ooh.
[Vince] Despite the pounding he currently
is receiving from Mankind.
And even if The Undertaker is buried alive,
he's likely to take Mankind with him.
-And that's exactly what we're getting. -[King] Yeah. Here we go.
Here we go, back to the grave site.
[Vince] And it's Mankind this time in control.
The Undertaker in big time trouble.
Mankind, going up.
Uh-oh. No.
-Mankind and The Undertaker. -[King] Can you believe this, McMahon?
[Vince] No, I can't.
[King] We're gonna see The Undertaker buried alive!
Roll him in there!
Come on.
[Vince] Mankind and The Under--
Yes, The Undertaker's down in the grave.
But he must be buried.
[King] Get the shovel.
[Vince] The Undertaker.
Oh, Mankind.
No! No!
No!
[cheering]
[King] Hit him with that shovel!
[Vince] Stop it.
Mankind and--
[King] Oh!
[Vince] No.
[Vince] Mankind.
Oh, no, no, no, he's gonna be hip tossed into the grave. Mankind.
-[King] Oh! -[Vince] Oh, no.
[King] See how far he threw him?
[Vince] I've never seen anything like that ever.
[Paul] Here he comes!
[Vince] And they're coming back this way.
[King] Unbelievable.
Get away, Paul!
[Vince] Watch this now.
Watch this so-called hip toss. Watch.
-[King] Watch how far he throws him. -[Vince] Whoa!
They're back in the ring.
Both men attempting to mangle each other.
[King] Oh!
Yes!
That's gotta be it, McMahon.
[Vince] But pinning a man or making him submit means nothing. Mankind…
[King] Put him in the grave!
[Vince] …must know that.
Mankind.
[King] Look at him.
[Vince] Watch this.
Mankind yanking his own hair out.
You talk about deranged.
[King] Just happens to have a high threshold for pain, McMahon.
He's not completely crazy.
Whoa.
[Vince] But he can feel pain.
And right now, The Undertaker…
[cheering]
…unleashing a flurry of punches.
-Undertaker-- -[King] Oh!
[Vince] Nobody there.
Undertaker, who has been pummeled in this match up,
-likewise so has-- -[King] Oh, here we go.
Speaking of pummeling.
[Vince] Mankind with Undertaker.
[King] Yes!
[Vince] No!
[King] Wow.
DDT'd right into that metal chair, McMahon.
[Vince] And here, look at this.
[Paul] You'll bury him alive, Mankind!
It's all over for The Undertaker!
Tonight, he'll die!
[King] Come on, Mankind, stick that claw down--
-[cheering] -[King] Uh-oh.
[Vince] Uh-oh.
[King] Mankind-- oh!
[Vince] Look out, here comes--
[King] Oh!
[cheering]
[Vince] Unbelievable.
[King] That had to break his back.
-[Vince] Oh, no. No! -[King] No way!
[Vince] Oh!
[King] That had to break his skull!
[Vince] But it won't stop here.
It won't stop until someone is buried alive.
Look at this. And Mankind able to crawl away.
[King] I'm beginning to think he may like it, McMahon.
[Vince] Mankind. Oh, no.
[King] Ooh.
[Vince] A clever maneuver on the part of Mankind.
All right, now listen to this earlier on.
[King] Watch out. Oh!
Oh, yeah, but look at this now.
[Vince] That's what they're doing to each other In Your House: Buried Alive.
[King] It's a good thing the WWE didn't sanction this.
[Vince] Oh, no, that's concrete now. Undertaker set up.
And Mankind now trying to drive him down, trying to-- uh-oh.
[cheering]
[King] Look at this! Oh!
[Vince] Right into the steel steps.
[King] McMahon, these guys are trying to kill each other.
Unbelievable. Look at…
[Vince] The Undertaker trying to finish this once and for all.
-[King] Oh, no. -[Vince] Oh, no.
Don't tell me Mankind…
[King] I don't wanna see this.
[Vince] …is to be driven into those steel steps.
[King] I'd go the other way if I were you, Mankind!
[Vince] Oh!
-[Vince] Again, it's no… -[King] He's not done!
[Vince] …holds barred.
-[King] Oh! -[Vince] Oh, no.
Into the small of the back.
[cheering]
[King] I guarantee you Monsoon has passed out watching this.
[Vince] Mankind is on his feet, not for long.
-Mankind is to be Tombstoned! -[King] No!
-[Vince] Yeah! -[King] Oh!
[cheering]
Listen to these people, McMahon!
They actually want to see Mankind get put in the ground!
[Vince] Mankind perhaps moments away from being buried alive.
-[King] He's out. -[Vince] And look at this.
That's exactly what's gonna happen.
[King] Paul Bearer!
Paul Bearer, you gotta do something!
-[Vince] The Undertaker. -[King] If you don't do something quick,
the next thing you're gonna be doing is buying flowers!
Come on, Paul!
[Vince] Paul Bearer behind Mankind, who is almost lifeless.
-Oh, no, is that-- -[King] Yes!
[Vince] Mandible Claw!
Mandible Claw!
Mankind with a Mandible Claw on the Undertaker.
[King] Finish him!
Finish him off!
[Vince] Oh, no. Paul Bearer throws the urn.
Paul Bearer throws the urn into The Undertaker.
-[King] Yes. -[Vince] Into Mankind's hands, and…
-[Vince] No! -[King] No!
[cheering]
Mankind!
[King] Oh!
[cheering]
[Vince] Mankind!
-Unbelievable! -[Vince] Grabbing the hose.
That had to be enough to finish him off!
The Undertaker covering him up!
[King] Wait, come on, McMahon.
We're not really going to do this, are they?
[Vince] That's exactly right.
As soon as Mankind is buried alive, The Undertaker,
his hand will be raised by the official, who's right there.
[King] Get up!
[Vince] My goodness.
Mankind is not moving.
[cheering]
Mankind is-- I think the official
just declared The Undertaker…
[bell dinging]
…the winner of the match.
[cheering]
[King] Well, stop him.
[Vince] The Undertaker does not wanna stop.
[announcer] The winner of the Buried Alive Match,
The Undertaker!
[Vince] Wait a minute, let's get--
[King] He's dead.
[Vince] This is really getting carried away here.
[King] Whoa!
-[Vince] Oh. -[King] Oh!
[Vince] Mankind is not moving.
And no one is stopping The Undertaker…
[King] Go back there, McMahon. You do it. [Vince] …from continuing.
The cover-- oh, no!
That was a shovel.
The Undertaker was just nailed in the back of the head
by a shovel.
-[Paul] Dig him out! Dig him out! -[King] Get his head out.
[Vince] Paul Bearer.
Paul Bearer screaming at whoever
this is to help Mankind.
Mankind is coming back out of the grave.
Mankind is coming out of the grave.
The Undertaker officially has won this match.
-Man-- hey. No, wait a minute. -[King] Uh-oh.
[Vince] No! No!
[King] Oh my gosh, McMahon.
[Vince] No!
Look what they're doing now.
The Undertaker is being covered with all of this dirt.
[King] What a sight this is.
[Vince] The Undertaker is literally being buried alive.
[thunder crashing]
Mankind, Paul Bearer, and whoever else that is out there
are doing everything they can to bury him.
[King] Look at this!
[Crowd] Rest in peace!
[King] He is done!
We have finally seen the end of The Undertaker!
[Crowd] Rest in peace!
Rest in peace!
Rest in peace! Rest in peace!
-[Vince] Oh, wait a minute. -[King] Look at this!
[Vince] This is getting sickening.
Goldust coming out to help.
[King] Everybody wants to bury The Undertaker.
[booing]
There's Goldust.
[Vince] There's Crush out there trying to bury The Undertaker.
-[King] Justin Hawk Bradshaw. -[Vince] Hunter Hearst Helmsley,
whom we saw earlier on.
[King] They're all burying The Undertaker alive.
[Vince] Undertaker was declared the victor.
And you were only supposed to be buried alive, not like this.
[King] How's he breathing?
[Vince] And Paul Bearer and his henchmen…
[King] How much dirt have they put on him?
[Vince] Paul Bearer and his henchmen continuing to--
look at this.
There's no way-- there's no way anyone
could ever get out of there.
[Crowd] Rest in peace!
Rest in peace!
[King] You people should save your breath for The Undertaker.
He's the one that's gonna need it,
because I don't think he's coming out.
[Vince] There's no way.
There's no way for anyone to come out of this.
This is--
-[King] Oh, my gosh. -[Vince] Look at all of that.
[Paul] Gentleman, oh, yes!
The Undertaker's gone forever!
Yes! He's gone forever!
Fill it up! Fill it up!
[King] You said it was gonna be a dirt nap, McMahon.
And you're right.
[Vince] I never had any idea.
[King] The long, deep sleep for The Undertaker.
[Vince] And this has totally gotten out of hand,
totally gotten out of hand.
[Paul] Yes!
[King] Oh, my gosh.
[Paul] All the way to the top!
All the way to the top!
Oh, yes!
Fill it!
He's gone!
The Undertaker's gone!
Yes!
[King] Wow.
[Paul] Shovel it, boys.
Shovel it!
I'll pay you well!
[King] What did he…?
[Paul] Fill it up!
[Crowd] Rest in peace!
Rest in peace!
[Vince] I don't think we're going to--
[King] I know, McMahon, you've been sitting here thinking,
some way, somehow, The Undertaker's always been able to come back.
He's always been able to rise up, no matter what was done to him.
And that's what you've been expecting. That's what everybody's expecting.
I don't care who won the match. He's buried alive, McMahon.
He's not coming back!
He's not coming up!
That's it!
Look at this.
He's gotta be crushed just under the weight
-of that much dirt, McMahon. -[Paul] Fill it up!
Fill it up!
-[Vince] Look at this. -[Paul] Cover him good!
[Vince] Mankind is in the grave.
[Paul] He's gone!
Mankind, he's gone!
[King] The Undertaker has--
has been beaten at his own game, McMahon.
[Paul] Yes!
Yes!
[King] Unbelievable.
[Vince] Mankind…
…along with…
[King] Look at that.
[Vince] I've never seen anything like this before.
I know it's probably inane to say, I just--
I still have hope…
-[Paul] Yes! -[Vince] …that something's gonna happen.
[King laughs] Nothing's gonna happen, McMahon.
[Vince] What's so funny? What's so funny?
[King] He's not coming up.
Go ahead, start talking about Survivor Series,
because this one's over. The Undertaker…
[thunder crashing]
…did not survive.
[cheering]
[thunder crashing]
That's all right, don't be afraid. Don't run.
[Vince] I feel something here.
Paul Bearer, Mankind, and whoever that is.
Look at Mankind standing in the grave.
[cheering]
Mankind jamming the shovel down into the dirt.
[thunder crashing]
[King] Look at how much dirt was piled
on top of The Undertaker's body.
[crowd booing]
[Vince] We surely hope you've enjoyed
In Your House: Buried Alive, not necessarily the results.
[King] I can tell you somebody that didn't enjoy it.
The Undertaker, how could he possibly ever rest in peace…
[Vince] We invite you to join us…
[King] …the grave that he dug for himself, McMahon.
A grave that he dug for himself.
[Vince] Oh, my-- unbelievable!
[cheering]
[thunder crashing]
[King] What was that?
[Vince] Oh, wait!
[cheering]
He's alive!
The Undertaker's alive!
[King] What?
[Vince] The Undertaker lives!
He will not rest in peace! s!
