a lot more money to get me, as a matter of fact the man you could be working for me.

Well, that is a laugh.

And in addition to all that ladies and gentlemen, we have the Royal Rumble matchup.

What about that?

30 men, every man for himself.

Listen, man, I've been in every Royal Rumble.

And what you're gonna see tonight is anything and everything.

Because at the Royal Rumble, anything and everything goes.

WWW

I'll tell you what, I think Tanca might have got the Raw into the DO because he's only been

beat one time.

Obviously, he never faced me, but he has definitely got his hands full tonight.

Bam Bam, he's going to have to be elusive, he's going to have to stay away from it because Bam Bam gets his hands on it, it's all over.

And unfortunately, I've been a mystery here in the past, these two have had their problems.

Bam Bam Piccolo with Ludovic Shine.

obviously having his problems.

And look at this, Providence Civic Center,

ladies and gentlemen.

So long enough.

It's gonna take a lot more now to beat this man, McMahon.

Bam Bam Bigelow knows his way around that ring.

Bam Bam Bigelow now.

Having the advantage, let's see what he does with it.

Bam Bam.

You would think he would go for a cover.

He lovely.

Not rid of a shot, caught at ringside.

Both of these men, regardless of who wins, both of these two competitors,

Kataka going back upstairs.

He did not have any success earlier.

Let's see what happens here.

walk of the mill, fight athlete himself.

There's 300 pounds, there are 300 pounds coming down on Tatanka's chest.

That's a lovely picture.

And so is that.

I have a beholder.

I suppose you're right about that.

Tatanka, blocking the right, dropping away.

And again, building some momentum, hit it up by number.

Unbelievable agility for a man, BamBam's side, that could do it.

A cover one, two in, nope.

One of the reasons-

One of the reasons-

Luna Machan is objecting to a slow count, I guess.

That's very happy.

One of the reasons Mr. Taka is hard to beat, he's saying he's taking a lot of

punishment, he's a hard man, he doesn't give up easily.

BamBam, staying on top of Taka.

And the clutches of Bam Bam Piccolo.

And I would suggest that this particular bear hug does not have the leverage

that a more traditional one may have.

However, Bam Bam knows the story on the rips of the talk and

the lower ribs hurt back before the survivors series.

Bam Bam Piccolo is gonna test those ribs.

I would say right now, if the talk was smart,

you just go ahead and give up and save it for the Royal Rumble.

The winner of the 30 man, every man for himself.

Royal Rumble goes on, ladies and gentlemen, to WrestleMania,

to face the champion, whomever that may be.

And they may have a good indication of who that may be later tonight.

He's got a lot of guts, but he's not very smart.

Bam Bam

No, Tatanka. He should give up give up. He's not gonna have anything left with that Royal Rumble

Bam Bam Bigelow's tank may be winning close to the E mark after this matchup as well

And Tatanka looks like indeed he is fading so Bam Bam staying on him

Squeezing his strength right out of Tatanka

The Taka, trying to make a move, trying to feel the spirit.

Trying to feel the electricity's capacity crowd, and to tighten the middle child.

A series of them now, The Taka coming off the rubber.

Oh my goodness, just like that, Bam Bam Bigelow turns it right back around.

And look out, here he comes, whoa.

an awesome force, Bam Bam Bigelow taking nothing away from Tataka.

Off the rope, and look at that.

Cover, two, yes, he gets it, now he does it.

Very close.

And Bam Bam missing in the roundhouse,

Collision Carr shifts, look at that, both men colliding in midair.

Have you ever seen anything like that before?

Not like that, McMahon.

Both these men are giving it all they've got.

I'm just afraid that when it's all said and done, they're not gonna have a look at

this.

Back to his feet, Bam Bam Bigelow.

And Bam Bam now with Tataka.

accept a match like this with the Royal Rumble coming up later.

And exasperate myself before such an important match will never happen.

Look at that.

You know what he's gonna do now, he's gonna finish to tuck her up.

BamBam's gonna go up, BamBam's gonna go all the way up.

Look at this, watch this.

And BamBam, trying to show both of you before this capacity crowd.

A foolish believer by BamBam Bigelow.

The feet of Landon that have been over 300 pounds from about 15 feet it would have been all over

a number of series of events that we've put together to show you what has led up to the

Heart Brothers here tonight coming to Providence to face the Quebecers.

Let's show you the most recent heart history back to Survivor Series.

Owen Hart seemingly in control there at Shawn Michaels.

You see Brett on the apron there after taking quite a hit from the former Intercontinental Champion.

Now keep your eye on the rocket, Owen Hart.

He makes his way and then boom, right there, hits brother Brett into the metal gating.

And Owen is pinned.

One, two, three, there's the count.

Eliminated from the Family Feud match.

He was the only Hart brother.

eliminated later on the hearts did go on to win this match and seemingly brother

Owen came back to celebrate however what a surprise in store for Brett Hart and

his brothers check this out ripped Brett down from the rubs and has a physical

and verbal assault right here Brett and Owen's parents looking on absolutely no

one can believe what's going on now a couple of weeks later Vince McMahon caught

Were these his true colors or not?

Listen to the interview.

And then you justifiably and without making you angry,

feel that you're living in a...

Go on, Vince.

How do I say it delicately?

The shadow. Go on, say it. The shadow.

I've been living in the shadow of you, Brett, all my life,

and I'm sick and tired of it.

So, Brett, there's only one way to solve this thing

with me being the shadow of you, the hitman.

That's right. Why don't you go out and step up to the plate?

You and me, face-to-face, one-on-one.

I'm challenging you, Brett, my brother, to a fight, one-on-one,

just to prove to everybody, my family, all my friends,

the wrestling fans out there, to you, Vince,

that I can beat you, Brett, if you got the guts.

Step up to the plate.

Your response, will you accept the challenge?

to see that, I mean people love to see any kind of controversial fight, a great fight is a great fight, people thrive on that.

And I've never ever ducked any kind of a challenge, I've never backed away from anybody.

And I would wrestle anybody, and I like to move up to those words to say I'm the best there is, the best there was, the best there will be, and I take on anybody, but under no circumstances would I ever...

absolutely positively not ever step in the ring with my own brother under any

circumstances. I won't do it. There's a point and this is as far as it'll go.

I will not fight my brother.

Hey, uh, you know, I'll be the first one to admit there was a lot of friction between Owen and I

I know that and I'm not gonna deny that but the fact is I knew this was tearing up the family

And I knew that Owen and I had to sit down and we had to resolve this thing and that's exactly what we've done

You know, maybe I'm never gonna find out who was a better wrestler. Actually, I feel a lot better about it

I didn't want to fight my brother on I knew we could channel our energy in a better direction

And that direction is against the Corbeckers and we are gonna win

The World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Titles as our unit, United We Stand.

Divided we fall right old well, you know, that's right, Brett

I know after survivor series I said some things that probably shouldn't have said it doesn't matter if they were true or not

It really doesn't matter because 1994 is gonna be our year

The rocket is gonna be taken off and I'm gonna have my brother Brett there right behind me and the Quebecers

We're coming after you we're gunning for those world tag team championships

And with my brother Brett and the rocket leading the way you're gonna be hits right behind me Brett

And we're gonna get those belts and we're gonna make 1994 a memorable year

for the Rocket and for the Hitman 2.

Hey, think it easy.

Well, Brett, it always...

Maybe the Quebecers should have taken a page from that book.

Maybe a lapse in concentration, or maybe just an awesome display from the 1-2-3 kid and

Marty Janetti.

We're showing you action from two weeks ago on Monday Night Raw.

Look at the high-play in 1-2-3 Kid.

Looks to be in total control of the cocky Quebecers.

How about this move?

Marty holds him and the kid drops down.

A sudden pin.

Yes!

New Tag Team Champions in the World Wrestling Federation.

Marty Genetti and the one, two, three kid.

Even Johnny Polo took a shot at that beautiful suit he was wearing that night.

But ladies and gentlemen, Marty and the kid would only have the title one week.

Let's go back to last Monday night at Madison Square Garden.

The Quebecers back in control and down on the one, two, three kid.

Obviously no lack of concentration this time as the Quebecers win the belts back before a sold-out Madison Square Garden.

Keep in mind that was last Monday night folks.

That means with the Quebecers winning the titles back, tonight's match with the Heart Brothers is for the title.

Todd Pettingale standing with the heart brothers. I got to tell you guys the Quebecers are here

They are cockier than ever after winning those belts back last Monday night at Madison Square Garden

But you guys have got to be feeling great back together over the holidays everything was settled

You're going for the title as the Quebecers won the belt back

This has got to be absolutely a special night for both you guys to say we're a little over confident would be an understatement

Let me say one thing once oh and I and I say it right now when we're the tag team champions after tonight

Two, three, keep.

kid, Marty Janetti, they're all gonna get a shot at the belts

because you're looking at the best in the aerial wrestling

and you're looking at the best of the technical wrestling.

The water is under the bridge and we are together.

That's right, excellence of execution.

Todd, this is the happiest day of my life,

the greatest opportunity, the one that I've waited

all my life for, and believe me, Brett,

it all happened when the Quebecers,

when they won those belts back, I knew that was our calling,

that was our fate.

This is our chance, Brett.

I'm gonna make you proud,

team champion a third time and I'm gonna bring that Brails home to you mom and

dad let's go do it Brett. Absolutely the heart brothers ladies and gentlemen

they are pumped they are ready to go and they are taking on the cocky

Quebecers the tag team championship is on the line I'll be watching let's get

back to ringside.

a very happy shot in Pierre, as well as their manager Johnny Bolo.

And boy, oh boy, are they ever displaying the tag team championship up to this capacity crowd.

They should be happy, McMahon and the Royal Wrestling Federation tag team champion for the second time.

These two men work very well together as a team, and I'm not so sure that you can say that for the Bret Brothers, Bret Hart and Owen Hart.

Well, we're gonna find out. We will see Bret and Owen teaming up for the very first time on pay-per-view.

And they are going for just that. All the gold.

The hitman, Bret Hart.

And his brother, and get set, ladies and gentlemen, for the roof to blow off to Providence, and it's in here!

Here it comes!

The Hoonigs and Telenborgs, the Hoagley and Telenborgs!

The Hoagley and Telenborgs, the Hoagley and Telenborgs, the Hoagley and Telenborgs!

the shadow, McMahon, the shadow Owen Hart.

I think Bret Hart has sucked his brother in one more time here.

Also, I mean you say that the hitman that has been tag team

checking the ball on more than one occasion.

And could this be the three pick?

I don't know what being a shadow is like cuz I've never stood in anybody's shadow.

But I think Owen Hart had the right idea the first time.

Red Heart, on the other hand, there's a man who's been the World Wrestling Federation champion twice tag team champion, King of the Rings.

And Superstar of the Year, and he's gonna give up all of that for his brother.

I think that's very noble, but stupid.

And there's a lucky young man.

Look at that.

Personally, I think the Corbetters are going to have the edge as far as teamwork goes.

They're brothers, but they've had their row and I'm not so sure it's over.

Well, I would suggest you're gonna see the greatest tag team combination ever in

Bret and Owen.

Where do you get a load of the brother's heart flying for the tag team championship?

And of course, later on, both the hip man and his brother, the Rocket.

Owen Hart returned to the 30 men, every man for himself, Royal Rumble Matchup.

Well, we're gonna find out what kind of a team they are right now.

against the Hitman, Bret Hart.

Okay, no problem.

Bret Hart, a custom to meeting on occasion, on many an occasion.

Stronger, bigger individuals, but no one has the technical skill.

No one has the timing of the Hitman, Bret Hart.

Pierre now to the ropes, hooks the ropes.

Bret right back on his feet, look at this, up in the air.

Here, off to rope, over Brett, right back at him, over him again, right back, and who?

Yes, the hip man lifting the left knee into the abdominal area, and that stopped Pierre Cold.

You didn't mention that Bret Hart also likes to hog the limelight more than anybody else.

Only no one hogged the limelight any more than you, Ted DiBiase, no one hogged the limelight any more.

Look at that one over, look at the speed and the quickness of Owen Hunt.

When you've got it, you've got it, McMahon.

Uh-oh.

Owen better stay downstairs.

Now he's right back up, leap back by Owen Hart.

Give it right back down, over the head, that's what he does.

Bunked up, pity combination, two, three.

Yes, he got him.

No.

There's no doubt that both the Hart Brothers are great technical wrestlers.

You can't take that away from either one of them.

Johnny Colo, the manager.

A yank of the hair by Pierre.

Pierre gets out of dodge, you're out of providence.

Out of the ring.

Oh, and heart-wasting no time.

Getting prepared for his shot.

The competitors lost the titles with Jimetti and working through kid,

and then regained the championship right back at Madison Square Garden.

Now, there's a mark of a two-championship team.

Oh, really?

They go down and come right back.

That's not easy, McMahon.

I should know I've been there.

You've been in every...

Royal Rumble matchup thus far as well, Ted DiBiase.

That's right, and I've bought virtually every, I mean I've held almost virtually

every title there is.

Right, bought more like it.

Locking back up now, look at this.

Jock, the aggressor.

Jock trying to set up Owen, looks to get an ear side, back body.

No, look at this, Owen puts in the brakes and

looks somebody's gonna go for the right shot.

With Jock, Jock coming up, Trump can play over Lockett, Owen Hart.

Yeah, you better get out of there.

Give me a break.

That's why they call it a tag team match,

the man when you get winded to tag your partner in.

Always keep the fresh man in there.

A little consultation going on by the brother's heart, as well as Johnny Pullo.

And Jock, Owen Hart.

to see them together, look at that.

I got to really hand it to Owen, he's holding his own by himself doing pretty good.

Yes, covering, covering, one, two, three.

My so close, I don't think Jock will be taunting the Rock at Owen Hart anymore.

Another kick out Johnny Polo very anxious as well they should be

for a good tag team, so far they've looked pretty good together.

You're going right they do.

They look great together.

Many thought we would never see them together.

Come on, Johnny Polo, get him back in there.

Come on, Ralph.

They tie him up, but there's three of them,

but we'll make them sad getting Johnny Polo real big too anytime.

Red Heart is tenacious.

All over, John.

Oh, yeah!

Quickie tagging his partner, here we go.

In the ring, the hard way.

Bret Hart now with Pierre.

And in comes Owen, no, there you go.

Is that a tag or not?

Like an illegal move to me, not a tag.

It was perhaps a bit of both.

Pierre, set up by The Rocket.

Conny Polo, manager of the Quebecers,

must be having a heart attack.

Here's another cover, another.

You, my, my, my.

You take a championship.

One, two, three.

Oh, championship team like the Quebecers.

You gotta wear them down a lot more than the hearts are right now before you can go

for the pinfall, McMahon.

No brothers, I've had so many near falls on the Quebecers.

So many.

And that has to take a toll, it has to have an effect on the Quebecers.

Because they know they could have been pinned.

Look at this.

Oh!

I wouldn't have known that would happen.

Look at that.

Look at that.

This could be the shining moment for the Rock at Owen Hart.

This could be where he becomes tag team champion.

Looks like Bret Hart got a little bit overconfident.

A little bit cocky and it backfired on him.

kind of condition, the Hitman and The Rock will be in when they return to

the Royal Rumble, later on in the cover, to a kick out.

If it works, McMahon, it's good teamwork.

I see.

together, that's why they're the champions.

And the coverers can do it, one, two, and-

No, my.

They have to be tag team champions.

The Hunt brothers deserve to be tag team champions.

They deserve to be.

They have fought so hard, both of them, all the way up the ladder of success.

officials back, it was clear Owen Hart had the chance to run.

The referee's throwing the cow down.

look like a low blow.

That's what you call a well-owned machine, man.

Brad Hunt went through the ropes and unfortunately for him,

went right into the guardrail.

I mean, he really smashed it.

Fortunately for Quebecers, fortunately.

Looks like he's hurt his knee, looks pretty bad.

Lucky they took his knee right out.

just giving the Quebecers an opportunity to double up on Brett.

Owen knows this, Broadway has hurt.

Owen, Owen coming out, he just kicked Pierre in the head,

trying to keep him away from his brother.

Now tell me, McMahon, who's the well-oiled machine now?

Depends on what kind of machine you're talking about.

Hey, they don't wanna know how, they just wanna know who,

and it looks like the Corbettus to me.

The official picking the cap back up.

They want a count out.

They're sure an excellent team work, McMahon.

An excellent team work.

He always got to do his tag, right in the tag.

No!

This is great.

He's being reckoned for showing a lot of skill, a lot of great teamwork here.

I see very little in the way of skill.

Huliganism, yes, skill, no.

That's what I say.

What's the bell for?

He gave up, obviously he gave up.

and stayed in the ring.

I don't know what match you were watching.

I was watching a different one.

What did I tell you?

That's right Owen.

That's right.

You're right.

He should have tagged you.

Hogging the match again.

Owen is exasperated.

But I don't think Brett deserves this.

does every breath can't even get up, he can't even stand.

I'm not even saying that they would have had a chance if Owen had gotten the title

to win the championship.

But Owen is obviously right in being mad at his brother.

One more time, one more time, Brett refused to relinquish the limelight.

And let his brother have the opportunity.

Limelight.

Brett Hart is trying to do everything he can to get up.

His brother, Owen, isn't even helping him.

Owen is yelling at him, Owen is shouting at him.

going to stand in the shadow of good brother anymore.

That's exactly what I said, McMahon.

That's exactly what I said.

And Owen Hart has just waken up.

From now on, you're gonna see a whole new attitude from that young man.

And I see him going to the top.

Well, unfortunately, it appears though, unfortunately,

the hitman, Bret Hart, is not going to the top.

It appears though, Bret not only will not be a tag team champion here tonight,

Well, probably, we're gonna send Ray Wujieł down the ring side to give us an update.

But it appears though that Brett may not be able.

All right, I'm gonna try and find out.

I would like to speak with Brett.

Wait a minute, wait, what's the condition?

Is the leg broken?

Is it dislocated?

What's the condition?

No, he's in pain, I don't know, it's no time to talk to him now.

I'd like to have a-

to participate in the Royal Rumble matchup.

So I guess it's back to you Vince.

Thank you, Rey.

One of the all time great competitors in the hitman,

Brad Hart, as Ted DiBiossi said,

former World Wrestling Federation champion, tag team champion,

on several occasions, intercontinental champion.

Last year's King of the Ring.

This is unfortunate.

Standing by right now, ladies and gentlemen, Todd Pettengild.

I believe is back with the rocket Owen Hart.

And we can take it to Todd.

Vince, I just gotta tell you, I cannot believe what I just saw Owen.

Please tell me why, why this despicable-

Why what, why what?

I don't understand.

You wanna know why?

Red Hart, you're nothing but a selfish person.

I went in there in a tag team match for-

the biggest match of my life.

It was a dream come true.

I thought I had the best partner in the world,

my own brother, but you're too selfish.

Like I've said all along, your ego is too big.

You only worry about yourself, Rick.

You don't care about me.

Unbelievable in front of your entire family.

I was concerned about myself and my whole family.

The biggest opportunity of my life, I had a chance, Brett.

And you stripped it away from me.

You took it away from me, Brett, because you're too selfish.

All you had to do was just tag me.

My hand was there.

Just tag me.

I knew your leg was bad.

I was aware of that.

Just tag me.

But you're too selfish.

You just want to put your sharpshooter on.

I could have won the match.

I don't need you with a bad leg doing that.

You're too damn selfish, and that's why you're sitting there with a bad leg.

And that's why I kicked your leg out of your leg.

And let me ask you something, you've obviously cost Brett a shot at the championship.

There's no way he's gonna be able to compete in the Royal Rumble match coming up tonight.

Don't you think that was selfish on your part?

There's no selfishness in me, there's not a selfish bone in my body.

He cost himself the WWF tag team belt, and he cost me,

his little brother, a guy that's never had to taste.

of a WWF belt before, he's done it before he doesn't care about me, he just worries about himself.

I don't care about you and the Royal Rumble, Brett, because this is my opportunity.

I'm in it too, I'm not worried about you getting cost the WWF belt.

I'm worrying about myself and I'm gonna get that belt because I didn't get a chance to win

the tag belts because of you, but I can count on myself and I'll take the WWF belt, I'll win that

Let's go back to ringside. Let's just go back to Vince McMahon

He finally woke up, McMahon.

That's the smartest thing that I have ever heard come out of Owen Hart's mouth.

He has finally realized that if he wants it, he's gotta do whatever he's gotta do.

And he's gotta go out there on his own, not depend on his big brother and

not sit in the shadow of his big brother.

He's gotta go do it on his own, and I applaud you, Owen Hart.

Wait a minute, that's not a tag team partner he was in there with.

There's a big difference.

Listen, McMahon, there's a big difference.

I have become a rich man.

I was a very successful wrestler for one reason.

I don't care if it was my brother, I don't care if it was my mother.

I'm gonna do whatever I have to do to be number one.

And Owen Hart just realized that in business, whether it's wrestling or

any other business, that's what you gotta do.

If you gotta step on people, if you gotta be a little bit cutthroat.

then that's what it takes.

If that's what it takes to get the job done, that's what you do.

That kid just goes on.

And the following contest scheduled for

one fall is for the World Wrestling Federation.

It's her first time at the World Wrestling Federation.

Coming down the aisle is the challenger.

Look at this.

Isn't this-

If you don't want the IRS kicking you, Dorn, in the middle of the night,

you better start paying your taxes.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen, Jim Ross and

Garela Monsoon here with you.

And Garela, this is going to be an outstanding intercontinental championship matchup.

of his career.

Boy, he certainly is, and he is technically sound.

Razor Ramon will have his hands full with Irwin R. Scheister.

No question about it.

We could see a new Intercontinental Champion.

crowd.

Successful

He's got to get him off his feet.

They've talked about this one for several weeks.

And that rotting flesh, you call an entourage.

You've made a big mistake.

Yokozuna, I don't make mistakes.

Kazuna is the hounds of hell, baying for your soul.

Okazuna, you shouldn't be afraid.

You should be terrified.

Rest in peace.

There's been a lot of people making allegations around here lately.

There's some home.

in a title match but the contract that I get back in the mail has some fine

print stuck in it by Paul Bearer saying it's gonna be some kind of match where

you've got to win you got to stuff your opponent some kind of big box now let

me explain something I watched that contract carefully and there was no

fine print the one that I signed it was added afterwards there's people trying

Mr. Fuji has just given Yokozuna orders to, what's he gonna do?

Squash the casket?

There is no disqualification, no count out, and no submission.

The only way to win is to stop your opponent in the casket and close the-

This is for the big one, Vince McMahon, and I still say that Yokozuna is that-

He's got a rest in peace, that's what you're talking about.

I'm saying that he's at unfair advantage.

He's slipping in on it.

Ladies and gentlemen from Providence, Rhode Island, 1994, WWF Royal Rumble.

We certainly hope you have enjoyed what WWF came from your presentation thus far.

Someone will rest in peace in this matchup.

This is the first time the title Ted DiBiase has ever been defended in this manner.

I think so too, McMahon.

I think it better be the last time.

That's it.

It's unheard of.

It is unheard of.

It sounds to me like the Undertaker and Paul Bearer snuck this in on the carpet because

they knew when this is Undertaker's match, he's never lost one of these matches before.

So he's having his match, his pet match to try and win the title.

Now is that fair?

goes in to sign the contract, I mean, let's face it.

Jim Cornette tried to put in the fine.

Fred is in the one-time only matchup.

He was successful there.

Yes, it is only one time.

However, Paul Bear a little sharper than Jim Cornette.

He threw in another fine.

Fred, another clause in the contract

that said it was a caskin.

Yokozuna's gotta be thinking, I don't think at the end of the ticket to survive that many bonsai drops.

Yokozuna culling in the corner.

Will the fear of this match bring up the best or the worst in Yokozuna?

He could turn into a 600 pound mountain of jellyfish.

Well, all of the marbles are definitely on the line.

There's no submission, no pinfall, no count out.

There's only one way to leave the ring.

You either leave with the belt or you leave in that box.

to get him off his feet and it's gonna take an awful lot to stop him.

This thing just.

very easy.

Yoko Zena, going for the equalizer first, and the Undertaker, wait a minute.

Wait a minute, there's a whole handful of saw.

No!

Right into the eyes of the Undertaker, and that could stop him.

No disqualification, no counter.

You're gonna pull it off the stops.

He wants it real bad.

He wants to get it back.

He wants to keep it in his corner.

Yokozuna, shoving me to take him back in the ring.

Yokozuna himself now, on the apron, taking his time.

The Undertaker appears to be dazed.

Mr. Fuji, wait.

Toe to toe, this is getting brutal, McMahon.

And here comes another-

There's Kabuki!

Kabuki!

Kabuki!

Kabuki!

Kabuki trying to take a long shot at the Undertaker.

Oh, he's still up there.

There's Tindra.

Here comes-

Mr.Fuji has sent Tindra and Kabuki in to do the Undertaker.

Oh, wow!

That was awesome!

I've got to hand it to the Undertaker.

He's standing pretty tall right now.

Fuji spoiled that all stops.

As we tell Mr. Fuji, no disqualification, you've got to expect this to happen.

Yes, but what will it take to stop the Undertaker?

Look at this, go folks, it is out.

I've never seen anything like it, McMahon.

He can't stand up very much longer, he just can't.

Mr. Fuji has to earn, look at that.

Mr. Fuji stole the air.

They're gonna get him, McMahon.

They're gonna get him.

It's a box.

This could be it, I think it's all over now.

himself what I think he's just done

You gotta expect this, I take my hat off to him.

That's one tremendous game plan.

Look at this, we have seen, I believe that DeMiles is up the Undertaker.

To say the very least, you won't be seeing him for quite some time.

That's the same stuff that was coming up.

The spirit of the Undertaker lives within the soul of all mankind.

The eternal flame of life that cannot be extinguished.

The origin of which cannot be explained.

in the everlasting spirit.

Soon all mankind will witness the rebirth

of the Undertaker.

I will not rest

in

is gonna do, he's gonna take him.

Champ, I'll see you at WrestleMania 10.

Ha ha ha ha.

It's here, Royal Rumble.

No friends, only enemies, and I'll be the final one standing to face the World

Wrestling Federation champion.

No!

I'm taking the Royal Rumble and the WrestleMania 10 champ.

Royal Rumble's almost here, and when the heartbreak kid is left standing tall at the end,

it's gonna be out with the old and in with the new, the new World Wrestling Federation

Champion at WrestleMania Tech.

The moment of truth has finally arrived.

The opportunity I've asked for, the opportunity I've waited for, and it's finally here.

The Royal Rumble, the best against the best.

Only one man comes out the winner, and that man gets a shot at the Royal Wrestling Federation

Championship, and it's gonna be me.

could not be denied his placement in the Royal Rumble.

But then again, anything can happen in the Royal Rumble.

Anything can happen in the Royal Rusting Federation, that's for sure.

Anything can happen, obviously, from what we've just seen, anything can happen.

I still can't believe what we just saw McMahon.

But Lex Luger in the Royal Rumble, I think it's a rip off.

He had his opportunity, the clause said that.

Let's not hear that and bring it up all over.

Lex is in it's all I for one I'm wondering whether or not anyone has an advantage however because you got 10 rule

We just saw you've got kabuki crutch a lot of individuals representing mr. Fuji or mr. Fuji represents is no doubt

Gonna be gunning for Lex Luger another question

However remains is whether or not Bret Hart will return to the warrior one more matchup

And in just a few moments, we will see numbers one and two enter.

And then every one and a half minutes thereafter,

the other participants will enter according to the numbers they drew.

Remember, in the Royal Rumble, it is every man for himself.

No friends only foes.

Elimination occurs at any time when a superstar is thrown out over the top

rope and onto the floor.

after all 30 participants have entered will be declared the winner of the Royal Rumble.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, let us...

to see that personally.

And now, here is the man who drew number two.

And accompanied by Kofa,

several head striker Sam Booty.

And under normal circumstances of a B, every two minutes.

A competitor joins the fray however given time constraints Jack Tunney is here.

So the action is going to be hotter and heavier than we expected.

Look at this, Scott Steiner trying to get him out.

And again, the rules, ladies and gentlemen, you have to get someone over the top rope.

And his feet must go all the way and touch the floor.

And that McMahon is the only rule.

Everything else goes.

Samu and Scott Steiner starting things off here.

the first tag, but this man's capable of it.

One of the strongest men in all of, they know we're looking over.

A father's going over, can't quite get him up.

Some of them hanging onto the rope, a tight waist there.

And, Scotty Steiner's trying to get him out, trying to get some of them out.

Nope, gives up.

Samu, on the other hand, very unpredictable.

You never know what they're gonna do.

That is for sure.

Fill her up, off and a back, body drop, no, leapfrog, oh, did you see that?

Wow, devastating maneuver.

I still can't get over what we saw earlier on with Younger Tegel.

I just can't believe it.

Scott can hang on, you can bet Samu's gonna be out of there.

Scott trying to hang on his brother Rick, coming into the ring now.

Every man for himself.

And Rick Steiner wasting no time going to work on Samu.

It's obvious that if we go to his brother's aid, but if they get him out here,

then what, I don't know.

Right, I don't know.

And Samu is double teamed.

With Samo, and look at this, from there, Stan Suclaks.

I would just love to see them get him out and

the two of them have to beat each other's brains out.

Yeah, well, it doesn't look like you're gonna see that.

Scott and Rick Steiner having some fun in there against Samo.

You never know, in terms of the drawing, in terms of the pairs here in the Royal Rumble.

What's gonna happen?

Notice, Niner Rubber is going after it with the other one, Rubber.

I thought we're gonna see brother against brother.

And Crank came in and that green mist coming out of the mouth of Crank into

a to Rick Steiner's face, look at that.

I'm crying all over Scott Steiner now.

I don't think they wanted to find out McMahon.

And Rick Steiner is in bad shape.

Of course, the other way of looking at that is if they stay in there and

take on each person as they come, they could control this thing for a while.

But it looks like Rick is in sales today.

Wang, and there are Yip Scott, Steiner.

And Rick Steiner is still smiling.

Baldy to Baldy, oh, what a hot man over, what a suplex.

And Rick Steiner is really in bad shape.

I suppose you would have Scott Steiner dump his brother over the top rope right now, right?

Hey, even smart, that's exactly what he'd do.

Yeah, sure, but I'm happy to see as far as brother's concerned,

there's only one problem at the tournament, and I don't have someone outside to see that.

That's exactly the smart thing to do.

You have to take advantage of every advantage given you, McMahon.

Come on, not bad.

And Hart, having a way on a helpless Rick Steiner and

Quang is doing the same on Scott Steiner.

When the smoke clears and the dust settles, they don't...

We're gonna send out cameras back in the dressing room area.

We're told something has broken out back in the dressing room area.

We're trying to get out cameras back there for you.

Meanwhile, here in the arena, four men going at it.

They've got to try.

this match somehow to conserve some energy or when the gas runs out it's all

over. I was in one of these Royal Rumbles for 50 minutes if you remember.

Yes I do.

That's a long time to stay in there. If you don't conserve some energy you're

going to be in trouble in a hurry.

Yes but at the same time you don't, oh my, you don't want to be thrown over the top.

You don't want to conserve too much energy and no one's going out, no one's out.

Wait a minute, no he's not either.

Look at this monster.

That's one big man that man almost as big as me.

Yeah, right.

Hey, I'm standing on my wallet.

Went after Owen Hart, Diesel doesn't care.

It's every man for himself and every member of that.

I've seen this man that's a performing man, he's gonna be one hard man to beat.

Diesel, one if not the biggest man here in Detroit over the matchup in it.

And put on the brakes there.

He's certainly a man after my own heart.

He doesn't care how he does it.

He just goes in there and gets the job done.

That's what it's all about.

And Barth trying to beat, as Barth going over, Barth trying to hang.

What's he doing?

All right, Western, trying to get him down, trying to get him over.

Right, and we're trying to get Diesel.

Yes, he's gonna get him out.

Back to with Diesel.

No, no, no, it's gonna take a lot more than that, man.

You get that monster.

There he goes, there he goes.

No.

So close, a good-thinking shot to the eye, Stoppy.

So very, very close, Backton almost up Diesel out.

I can't believe the way Diesel came in, and completely clean house.

We got my vote, I'm sorry.

Hey, Bob Ricketts!

Wow.

This monster of a man is King of the Mountain so far.

I've been in every world, Rumble McMahon.

I've never seen anybody control a ring like this.

The next victim, Martin McManus.

condition is Lex Luger in.

Maybe Luger won't make it to the Royal Rumble too.

I've gotta take my hat off to Mr. Fruity.

He's really using his head to make.

Well, firstly, I can't believe that Yoko Zuna is still the champion.

And I can't believe what's going on right now.

I can't believe what we know Lex Luger.

On my scorecard, Yoko Zuna is gone and Luger is gone.

We're told now that this could have been Kamala, Virgil the alternate for Kamala.

Not at all, come on Virgil, hit him punch him, here we go.

What a story this would be if Virgil could dump the big man out.

for himself, McMahon, I don't know what would happen.

It'd be a real Donnie Brooks, far as I'm concerned.

And Diesel having an opportunity to rest here in between each competitor.

So Diesel could last all the way at this juncture.

You can see his lip busted open there.

He's earned the rest of-

Randy Savage has even a compromising position, does he ever?

The easel's already eliminated seven men by himself, he's breathing a little bit hard.

I mean, Savage's not doing that great, he's gonna end up being number eight.

Two watchmen, man.

Randy Savage trying to get the big man out.

Seven men out by himself, Savage come in fresh and couldn't get him out.

And look at Double J going to work on Savage.

Double J, who wants to win the Royal Rumble.

He wants to go to WrestleMania.

He wants to be the champion.

He wants to use the World Wrestling Federation as a stepping stone to start him in Nashville.

Look at this.

And from the looks of things, he's off to a tremendous start to accomplishing all of that.

Savage didn't have too many friends.

That's every man for himself in there.

Double J to the outside.

Uh-oh.

Jeff Jarrett, Double J going up to the top.

If Double J was smart, he'd go after Diesel.

There's a man that got seven men out by himself, and

he's giving him time to rest.

That's a big mistake.

He better quit posing and go to work.

Double jab, jab, jab, set for Savage and go for the round and he does to the outside.

No, he's freaking hip.

He's freaking out, huh?

Randy Savage cuts him out.

Josh wasn't even in the ring.

Randy Savage hit him head up.

Not that way the other way, Macho.

This won't last long with Man again.

Randy Savage.

Get time to rest.

Savage taking care of the big man.

It's only a competitor like Randy Savage can do.

Remember, there's a lot of history of what Savage and Crush.

Randy Savage going out, again.

Former friends with the keyword there is former.

And down goes Crash.

Randy Savage, a house of fire, look at this.

Crash turned his back on Randy Savage.

And now, Savage's back was turned on Crash.

I knew it couldn't last.

I knew it couldn't last, but man, he's in serious trouble now.

And look, both big men are picking on Randy Savage.

Three, two, one.

And it's set up.

Crush with a devastating kick.

Crush trying to block it.

If Crush goes out, Subbo diesels, Elbow, and the diesels face by Crush.

And Dyke over the corner, laughing at the two big big men hammering away.

Well, that's a smart move, McMahon.

He's just gonna stand over there and let them beat each other down.

The two biggest men in the World Wrestling Federation,

tumbling each other, it's every man firms out.

I don't think it's anything to laugh about now.

Whoa, we're just a minute going to get up to his tricks.

I wonder who's coming in for the Royal Rumble next.

What did he spray in his face?

I have no idea, but Diesel's been in the ring now for

a bit more, I believe, than ten minutes.

And now, look at this, Diesel and Trash, who were pummeling each other earlier on.

Bambam, Crush, along with Diesel.

That's over 300 pounds of lean mean agility there.

Look at this, Crush and Diesel inviting Bambam in to finish off Dike.

Obviously, Bambam and Dike have a tremendous history, and

Bambam can't stand Dike, and I believe the feeling is mutual.

Diesel and Crush allowing Bambam one on one against Dike.

It looks like darkness is going out.

My goodness.

You said that.

Unbelievable.

Over the top rope, that's a long way to fall.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

They're trying to get Bam Bam on as well.

Bam Bam hanging on the bottom rope.

So they certainly set Bam Bam up.

Crush and Diesel did.

They set him up.

Uh-oh, Crush is hammering away on Diesel.

Bam Bam's hurrying on Crush.

It's every man for himself.

It's the Royal Rumble matchup.

Everyone wants to win this.

Everyone wants to go on to WrestleMania and be the champion.

There are no friends, McMahon, Royal Rumble, all the enemies.

Anything can happen and anything does happen.

The Casio clock pounding down again.

midsection, uh-oh, refresh over here.

Diesel coming in and look at him.

Fabel collides with Diesel.

Look at the size of Mabel, here he comes again.

That's a lot of beef in the corner.

That's a lot of beef in the ring.

This is not concentrating on any one person.

He can't give him too much time to recuperate or he'll be in trouble.

Here comes Mabel.

face the champion.

I got it.

He climbed in the ring with the wrong group of gentlemen that have a debut.

I don't think anybody's got to get him gone.

The ring's starting to fill up, and Krush will be.

No, look at that, underneath the rope, he slides right back underneath.

What happens when Tindred comes out and joins Krush?

What happens when Kabuki joins Krush?

And you wonder whether or not Lex Luger will make it to-

We don't have an update on his condition.

And speaking of that, you really wonder whether or not the hip man comes in.

I would doubt it very, very seriously.

Thanks to Owen Harden's block.

Well, I would be real surprised if he'd come out now, the way I see it.

Luger and.

Will Shawn and Diesel be partners or will they go right up?

John backs off.

That's a smart move considering what Diesel's already got.

John Michaels wants no part of Diesel.

Although standing on the second rope, he's almost as big as Diesel.

Pan-Shake there.

That was a mistake, McMahon.

Wait a minute, from behind Diesel was attacked.

They're trying to get too diesel.

They're trying to get him out.

They're trying to get him over.

Shawn Michaels, Shawn Michaels.

And Michaels pushed him out.

I'm not too sure he wouldn't have gone anyhow.

But Shawn Michaels helped him get him out.

Wow, I'm not sure in the future that will be a mistake that Shawn Michaels just made.

Well, it is every man for himself.

You said that earlier.

Yes, it is.

And believe it or not, a number of fans actually cheering that huge monster Diesel for his effort.

We've got to respect him, man.

You know you're not watching him, but you've got to respect that effort.

Well, now, just who will it be?

I thought Diesel would stay in there forever.

He looked invincible in there.

as a team, and Shawn Michaels, I thought Michaels was out, he may go out yet.

No, no.

However, Sparky can't bring away on Michaels.

Uh-oh, Michaels with retaliatory efforts, and look at this, Moe.

That shows the personality of Shawn Michaels.

Will it be Crush winning the boy?

Will it be Shawn who Mabel, maybe BamBam.

And remember BamBam was in the match earlier with Tataka.

And then Balantyne, it's that big a low, there you go, Sparky, there you go.

And then Balantyne, another veteran of the ring, another very smart.

He uses his head, not only his strength and power, that's why he could last 50 minutes.

Uh-oh, and he's paying some lose right now, BamBam and Moe.

Look at this, and then BamBam attacks Moe as well.

Every man for himself in there.

who's a veteran of the ring and get rid of him as quick as he can.

When you put that kind of power with somebody that knows his way around the ring,

you want to get rid of him quick because he can become real dangerous, real fast.

Boom, BamBam, ducking out of the way as Mabel was charging.

Meanwhile, the Hammer and Sparky going at it and Shawn Michaels and Crutch.

You're holding to talk of the shot.

Rush, moving in now.

Kibuki, Kibuki's not here to win the Royal Rumble.

He was paid, he's here for one reason, and that was to keep that slugger out.

And it looks like he's done just that.

But a very unpredictable man.

Everybody trying to get Mabel out, everybody trying to get him out.

You don't become a champion and stay a champion and not have some versatility.

Bye guys.

He's a mercenary, man, he's a hot shot, did you hear that?

I'm sure he will never, ever forget in a bad night for the whole Hart family.

Not Owen.

Wait a minute, Luger is hooking the rope.

Luger is, Shawn Michaels training for everything else.

About for trying to get Lach's Luger out of the ring.

Luger has gotta be hurt.

Martell draws a late draw, which is for his advantage.

Rick Devon and Martell could win the Royal Rumble.

Shot Michael, still using his head.

He knows Martell's got stamina, and he went right to it.

Michaels, I think, has been in there well over 15 minutes.

hurt so bad. There's a lot of guts but no brains at all.

And Sparky now having a crash, and Sparky, our first good shot,

our first good chance to look at Sparky, I'll tell you, he's a house of fire.

Well, I have to say this, man, I'm surprised a newcomer like that is-

I'm not sticking that ring right now.

taxing more than ever.

Van Bigelow, well over 300 pounds has been here at McMahon for over 30 minutes.

John Michaels is still hanging on, so is the model.

And the hit man, Johnny and Michaels, out of here.

Adam Bond coming over and attacking.

I'll tell you, McMahon, Michaels has really shown me a lot.

He's hung in there for a long time.

He's like an orangutan, he has his arms and legs rubbed all around those rubs.

They can't get him out of there.

Maybe it's Shawn Michaels going on, the face of champion at WrestleMania.

This one is for all the marble.

And who knows, after a match up like this, you may never be the same.

I mean, you're getting hit from all sides.

I guarantee you, grip hard, I don't think it'll be the same.

I'm talking the same knee that Owen Hart hit or

kicked rather earlier on.

The smart thing to do, the smart thing to do is go after that knee.

A smart thing to do is to throw somebody over the top, Ted DiBiase.

Hey, you eliminate Bret Hart one way or the other.

You've eliminated major competition, whether it's now or

later, it's forever, it could be forever tonight.

Just kicked John Michaels into the ring post.

And Gregorio Revolta tied almost down on the far side.

by Adam

He's still in the ring.

I can't either.

I cannot believe it.

Tindra, the great competitor from Japan in there with Shawn Michaels.

Look at this.

What are they doing to Tindra?

Michael, Samo set up Tindra.

Tindra, wow, in the gather.

Remember that Tindra's a mercenary.

He's a hired gun, Fuji doesn't hire slouches.

He's one of Japan's best, he's gonna be hard to get rid of.

Who was going to win the quarter-level?

Great Manoog, and a part of Bret Hart and

Rex Luger have helped himself.

Tindall sets him up, Tindall chopping Luger.

Tindall's being paid to make sure Luger does not win.

Does he have it?

Look at this, Michael's right back over, on Bret Hart.

You're going on guts and determination now.

And now the double team effort,

Luger's gonna go out and Charlie's gonna-

The winner of the right team.

yet to announce exactly what the

referees are arguing they can't

make up for my I don't think they

know I've never seen this before

well what happens now I think I

think the official in the left

the same time, it was tough for our viewpoint, I thought.

Wait a minute, there's President Jack Tunney.

I think Louisville won that man.

I think I'm gonna agree with you, but I'm not sure.

All right, Jack Tunney, getting the officials.

If we go back and we have a replay, maybe we have one, I don't know.

If we haven't, let's see what we can, Jack Tunney trying to make a decision here.

But let's, here we go.

We're gonna see, here they go now.

And over they go, yeah.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I thought it was Luger, but I'm not too sure after that.

I'm not too sure.

I think it was Luger, McMahon.

Let's take another look at it if we have it.

If we have another angle while Jack Tony is making up his mind,

you make up yours, and we go out and it is.

There he is.

Luger.

No, that was Brett, I think.

No, I think it was Luger.

What are they doing?

Jack Tony discussing things with the officials.

No one has left this building, we are awaiting the announcement.

Wow, and Toney Sticks's nose and it's a never know what's gonna happen.

Attorney has to make a decision here, and

this must be the toughest decision he'll ever make.

Here we go, we're gonna find out.

I'm telling you, Luke, you're one of them.

Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the 1994-

I can't figure it out.

Give me a break for one mistake.

I thought for sure it was Luger, but I'm not too sure after those replays we saw.

A member of Angles.

I think you ought to ring the bell and just let them beat each other to the ground.

Well, the attention is building here in the Povnitsynics Center.

The attention is building here.

I'm telling you, I think Luger won it.

This will be in the long end of the term, and who won?

Here we go, and there is a lot now, you see?

Got it, your luders feet hit the ground first.

Let's get back, here we go.

Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the 1994 WWE.

to face the WWE champion.

But Brad Hart gets the nod from Jack Tony.

Will Lacks Lueber gets the nod from Jack Tony.

Jack Tony making a tough decision here tonight.

Standing at both men, I'd have won.

But he's gonna have a tougher decision to make in the future.

As to which one of these two will go to WrestleMania and face

Well, it's obvious to me, McMahon, if they couldn't make up their minds.

I still say, Luger won them, if they can't make up their mind and

they award this match to both men, there has got to be a match to decide.

That's the only fit.

Well, I can tell you this, we saw truly, what are the great Royal Rimbos.

And this with no doubt will go down in World Wrestling Federation history.

I tell you what, McMahon, I got a lot of money.

Wait a minute, they're coming together, and

a handshake to great competitors.

Maybe two of the old time great competitors in the history of the WWE.

With only one, we'll go to WrestleMania and face the champion.

So long everyone, but pop it up, slow down.
