[Vince] Nashville, Tennessee. Music City, USA!
Home of the Grand Ole Opry.
A city where stars are born.
A city where platinum and gold line the hallowed halls
of its famed recording studios
like stars in a summer night's sky.
And it's a city of dreams.
Dreams of superstardom that can raise the human spirit
or ultimately crush a man's soul.
Tonight, Double J Jeff Jarrett returns
knocking on the door of superstardom
here in Nashville,
In Your House!
Hello, everyone, welcome to Music City, USA.
Welcome to Nashville. I'm Vince McMahon.
Along with Jerry "The King" Lawler,
Minnie Pearl's favorite WWE Superstar. If you don't believe me,
he has the price tag on the back of his hat to prove it.
Yeah, that's real funny, McMahon.
This hat was a gift from Garth Brooks I'll have you know.
But speaking of price, I'll tell you who's gonna pay the price tonight,
it's gonna be the WWE Champion Diesel
and the price he pays is gonna be that title. That's right.
In the first time ever in the world on Pay-Per-View,
a Lumberjack Match.
Sid will squash him. [laughs]
That remains to be seen.
But speaking of price, at what price, stardom, yes?
Double J Jeff Jarrett attempts to sing live
before his hometown here,
and also defend the Intercontinental Championship
against Shawn Michaels.
That's right. It's gonna be the greatest night of Double J's life
provided The Roadie has everything set just right,
if the mic checks out and all the sound is right.
Because Double J has all the talent in the world.
And speaking of talent, McMahon, we're in Nashville. Can you two step?
I'm sure I can put one step in front of the other one.
Why don't you do that and step right on out of town
because I can handle this. [laughs]
[Vince] Stepping into the ring right now, The 1-2-3 Kid!
[crowd cheering]
[bell dings]
[announcer] This contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, currently in the ring,
from Minneapolis, Minnesota, weighing 212 pounds,
-The 1-2-3 Kid! -[Vince] The 1-2-3 Kid!
Ready for action.
However, not long ago, The 1-2-3 Kid was put out of action as a matter of fact.
And here, we're taking a look at it right now,
The Roadie got a head start.
Just off the top rope, watch him. And down into the neck!
And the Kid was out for some time but he is back, ladies and gentlemen.
Yes, and back and ready for action here In Your House.
[The Roadie's theme music plays]
-Oh, you know what that means? -[King] Oh, yes, I do!
-We're ready for The Roadie! -[announcer] …from Music City, USA…
[King] Take a look at him, McMahon, he looks great.
…weighing 241 pounds…
-[Vince] Here he comes! -…The Roadie!
[Vince] The Roadie.
Without him, what would Double J Jeff Jarrett be?
[King] What do you mean by that now?
[Vince] He does everything but blow his nose for him.
[King] Well, that's what he's supposed to do. That's his job.
He's a roadie.
[Vince] He was up at 5:30 this morning, ladies and gentlemen,
putting what they call "the load" in here… Look out!
-[King] Whoa! What is going on? -[Vince] Oh, good grief!
Look at that!
-Into the ring The 1-2-3 Kid. -[bell dings]
Oh, my goodness. Pop there by The Roadie.
Roadie, kicking to the rib area.
The Roadie caught off the guard with the Kid coming after him.
That's the kind of competitor The 1-2-3 Kid.
-[King] I'll tell you… -[Vince] Wait a minute!
Off the rope and… Uh-oh.
Weight advantage to The Roadie. The Roadie now.
Off the rope and… Leapfrog. Nicely done.
Look at this from the far side!
And down he goes. Right in the mush.
[King] Come on, Roadie, you're gonna have to work on that neck.
-[Vince] Work on whose neck? -[King] One The 1-2-3 Kid's neck.
Who do you think?
-[Vince] The 1-2-3 Kid. My goodness! -[all exclaiming]
[Vince] What a maneuver!
The 1-2-3 Kid.
Look at this.
Uh-oh, trouble for the Kid. No wait a minute!
Flying head scissors to the outside! Nicely done.
[crowd cheering]
[Vince] And the martial art tactics of The 1-2-3 Kid
paying off against The Roadie.
[King] Well, I think what's paying off is the fact, like you said,
that he's been here since daybreak
making sure that everything is ready for Double J's singing debut.
He's probably not really concerned whether or not he wins this match.
-[Vince] Oh, yeah, sure. Right. -[King] Well, you know he…
The most important thing on his mind is making Double J look good.
And as well it should be.
[Vince] Just how good will Double J look?
You have to wonder whether or not Double J Jeff Jarrett
in his first time ever singing… Oh, my goodness!
[all exclaiming]
[Vince] Will Double J have butterflies?
Unquestionably, The 1-2-3 Kid has none.
And now, The Roadie being set up…
Look at The 1-2-3 Kid is… Oh, my goodness!
The Kid now with The Roadie.
Roadie ripped to the far side.
The 1-2-3 Kid trying to time this just right.
Cross body.
And The Roadie not faring… Not faring well at all.
And the Kid again with momentum
to the buckle, yes. Here he comes, and…
-[all exclaiming] -[King] There you go!
Sure, The 1-2-3 Kid started off like a house on fire
because he had revenge on his… What?
[Vince] We're told that standing by is Double J Jeff Jarrett who…
-Is he watching the match? -[King] I'm sure he's…
[Vince] Double J… Wait a minute. We're in Double J's locker room and…
Tonight is the night, baby.
[Vince] Double J is not even watching the match.
[King] He's getting ready for his singing debut, man.
He's got more important things on his mind.
[Vince] Looks like he could care less of what's going on.
[clears his throat]
[King] Making sure his throat is perfect.
[Vince] Let's go back to live action. I can't believe that.
1-2-3 Kid now.
Oh, my good… Yeah!
What a clothesline to the outside. Both these men will take risks.
The 1-2-3 Kid, obviously, a tremendous risk taker,
but they are all calculated.
And The Kid, right now… Listen to this capacity crowd!
[crowd chanting] One, two, three! One, two, three!
[Vince] The 1-2-3 Kid set up by The Roadie.
[all exclaiming]
-[Vince] Did you see that? -[King] Whoa, did I ever!
His head bounced right off that ring post.
[Vince] And that'll do it.
The Roadie and The 1-2-3 Kid,
and he snaps The Kid back into the ring.
[King] Just pin him. That's all you gotta do now because it's over.
Come in. Go ahead and pin him! You got him.
[Vince] The Roadie with The Kid.
[King] He wants to punish that neck a little more, McMahon.
-[Vince] Off the rope, and… -[King] Look at this!
[all exclaiming]
[Vince] Dropping a leg, The Roadie.
The 1-2-3 Kid better do something…
-Oh, my goodness! -[King] Go ahead and tell me, McMahon,
you gotta be impressed by the athletic ability of The Roadie.
And I'm telling you right now
he learned everything he knows from Double J.
[Vince] I am impressed thus far, this evening. No question about it.
The Roadie in his last outing, victorious over Bob "Spark Plugg" Holly.
As a matter of fact, he came very close to defeating Savio Vega,
who went to the finals of the King of the Ring.
-[King] Oh! -[Vince] Look at this! My goodness!
An unbelievable back body drop.
And The Roadie, sensing victory
is showboating here tonight. Look at this.
And speaking of a showboat,
Double J Jeff Jarrett, we're told now.
Double J, obviously watching the match and watching the cover! Two, and…
[King] And watch the end there… Oh! Almost had him.
[Vince] Double J Jeff Jarrett
should obviously pay a little bit more attention I would suggest
to what's going on out here in the ring side.
-He might even… Wait a minute. -[King] Wait, wait.
[Vince] He might even learn something. Who are the…
[King] Those are his backup singers.
-Are y'all ready? -Yes.
Just like we rehearsed. Y'all just relax out there.
Double J will be right behind you. Okay?
[mumbling in agreement]
[King] Don't you know they're nervous, McMahon?
Don't you know they're excited?
[crowd chants] One, two, three!
-[Vince] Listen to this! -[crowd chanting] One, two, three!
[Vince] This capacity crowd is very excited.
Hoping that The 1-2-3 Kid can pull off a victory here tonight.
The Kid with an elbow. The Kid with another.
-Oh, goodness. -[King laughs]
Take a look at this.
The Kid's comeback is gonna last about as long as Tom Arnold's marriage.
You know he just got married? One of those Hollywood weddings.
You know how long that'll last, don't you?
About as long as the Kid's comeback.
-And it's over right now. -[Vince] To the top!
-The Roadie! -[King] Whoa, look out!
[all exclaiming]
[King] Wow!
[Vince] Now the momentum can shift back the other way.
The 1-2-3 Kid wrestling In Your House on Pay-Per-View.
His first appearance since the Royal Rumble.
The Kid excited to be back in action.
And the Kid now with an opportunity to turn this all the way around.
[King] Come on, Roadie!
Roadie's gotta come out all right on this one.
[Vince] That's a hard right hand by The Kid.
And I would suggest this is something The 1-2-3 Kid does not want to do.
Why would he trade blows with a man like The Roadie?
Reversal off the rope… Missing with the right arm.
[all exclaiming]
[Vince] Cover him! That's gonna do it.
He now put Double J-- Oh, I meant Roadie. I thought he got him.
[King] Man, a foot right in the face and that brings back bad memories for me.
-[Vince] And bad breath as well. -[King] Hey! Come on, McMahon.
[Vince] And a dropkick! No place to go for The Roadie.
You saw his head snapping back.
The 1-2-3 Kid now with The Roadie.
Tremendous momentum. The youngster with a body slam.
Let's see what he's gonna do now. Yes!
[crowd cheering]
[Vince] High risk maneuver coming up no doubt.
The Kid going all the way to the top.
Will The Roadie have presence of mind to move
-like The 1-2-3 Kid did earlier? Oh! -[all exclaiming]
[Vince] And that'll do it. Two, and… Make it.
[King] He got the shoulder up. He got the shoulder up, McMahon.
[Vince] I can't believe The Roadie kicked out of that.
[King] All that's driving The Roadie on
is the fact that he knows in the back of his mind
that he's instrumental in Double J's…
-[all exclaim] -[King] Oh, look at that!
[Vince] That can do it. One, two, and…
-[King] No! Oh… -[Vince] Oh, yes.
[King] He knows, McMahon,
that he's instrumental in Double J's singing debut tonight.
He knows that he has to make sure everything's right
for Double J to be a success.
[Vince] What does that have to do with this match?
[King] He's gotta come out all right in this match
to make everything all right in the singing.
Come on!
[Vince] Double J Jeff Jarrett, we saw him back in the locker room area,
ready to sing live. He seemed all calm, cool, and collected.
Which is more than we can say for his roadie.
Look at that maneuver!
And a charge, nobody there!
And again, the momentum shifts back to 1-2-3 Kid out on the apron.
Here we go again. Going up to the top.
-[King] Look out. Turn around. -[Vince] I said before
-The Kid was a risk taker and… -[all exclaiming]
[Vince] This time, unfortunately, the risk not paying off for the Kid.
Oh, no.
-The Roadie. -[King] Look at this move, McMahon!
-[all exclaiming] -[Vince] Pile driver!
From way up above, and hopefully, the Kid's--
-[King] That's it! -[bell dings]
[King] That is it.
[The Roadie's theme music plays]
[announcer] The winner of the match, The Roadie!
[King] You've got to admit, McMahon,
this is just the beginning of what's gonna be an awesome night
for The Roadie and, especially, Double J.
[Vince] Unbelievable.
The Roadie, ladies and gentlemen, victorious.
And, hopefully, the Kid's gonna be all right.
I mean, can you believe that… from the top? He just…
[King] Piledriver from the top rope. Beautiful.
[Vince] I was impressed with the athletic prowess of The Roadie.
But take a look at this.
[King] Double J taught him all he knows, McMahon.
How'd you like to see it again, huh?
-[Vince] I'd like to, actually. -[King] Okay.
[Vince] And, uh, let's go back.
Take another look now. In Your House for sure.
Look. Take a look now.
[King] Look at that neck. It looks like a pencil.
Looks like a stack of dimes. Can you imagine what this does to it?
-[Vince] Unbelievable, and… -[both exclaim]
[Vince] However, The 1-2-3 Kid is on his way…
Wait a minute. The Roadie now
is back up on the stage, wouldn't you know it?
And checking things out. I think The Kid is being assisted…
-Mic check. -…back to the locker room.
-One, two. One, two. -[Vince] The Kid is gonna be all right.
Little mic check there, The Roadie.
[King] Look at the ultimate professionalism of The Roadie.
-[Vince] Yeah. -[King] Always thinking of Double J first.
[Vince] Talk about a professional standing by, ladies and gentlemen,
Todd Pettengill.
Todd Pettengill back there with a lot of the, uh, so I'm told,
Million Dollar Team members preparing for the Lumberjack Match.
Todd, are you there?
Standing with The Million Dollar Corporation
and its CEO, Ted DiBiase.
Ted, this is it tonight. WWE Championship on the line.
There's nowhere for Sid to run.
That's enough, Pettengill
Tonight, Diesel, there's nowhere for you to run.
You wanted to call Sid "psycho"? Let me tell you something.
The Million Dollar Man has bought the best outpatients
that money can buy
in the form of 15 lumberjacks around that ring.
I'm gonna tell you something. Diesel, tonight,
it's In Your House,
but when you step into the ring, you're in his house.
[laughs maniacally]
Welcome to your destiny, Big Daddy Cool.
-Sid has you in his asylum. -[man] That's right.
And he's got you right where he wants you.
And on the outside,
there's 15 of the most vicious, craziest nuts
just waiting for your sorry carcass to fall outside
so we can destroy you!
That's right, Diesel.
Big man here is gonna destroy you.
You see, you're gonna enter the Bates Motel alive
but when it's time to come out,
-big man's gonna drag you out. -[all laughing]
You say the word "destiny,"
no, it's the word "extinction."
This rap is due tonight, Big Daddy, for you are in my asylum,
In Your House.
'Cause you now have to meet the master, the ruler…
[all chuckling]
-…of the world! -[all laughing maniacally]
[Pettengill] Obviously, a pumped up Million Dollar Corporation.
Let's take you out to Barry Didinsky,
the Mayor of Merchandiseville. Barry.
Hey, Todd, thanks a lot.
Maybe a little bit of a different opinion here
in Diesel's dressing room.
We're gonna take this opportunity to tell you right now
about the event T-shirt.
It's Diesel versus Sid in a Lumberjack Match.
The shirt's available in large, extra-large, and double extra-large
for only $16 by dialing 1-800-TITAN-91.
You see the front of the shirt. Take a look at the back of the shirt.
Lumberjack Match city.
And we got Shawn and we got Diesel,
and we got a fired up locker room right now, guys. What's happening?
You ought to take a Dustbuster to that wig, you know what I mean?
Thank you very much. How about from you, big guy?
A Persian rug you got there, Barry?
All right, guys. Back to you at ringside.
[Vince] Oh, yes, indeed! We're having a grand old time
In Your House, ladies and gentlemen, tonight indeed.
[bell dings]
[Vince] Ah-ha. Oh, wait a minute.
What's that siren for? It must mean trouble
is on the way to the squared circle.
And take a look at this kind of trouble if you would, King.
-[King] Oh, yeah! -[Vince] Talk about a king.
Here, ladies and gentlemen…
-[announcer] This tag team contest,… -…the King of the ring!
-…is scheduled for one fall. -[Vince] And, uh, he was knighted--
-actually The King knighted Mo. -[King] Sir Mo, Sir Mo to you.
[Vince] All right. Sir Mo.
[Vince] Let's take you back, ladies and gentlemen.
And, bam!
And, uh, if that wasn't all,
of course, Razor, ladies and gentlemen,
who was there only to support Savio, injured ribs and all.
And, unfortunately, Razor felt the effect of The King.
And now, just a… Is he a knight? Sir Mo? What's this?
[King] He's a… Yes. of course, he's a knight.
That's what you… That's what you do, you knight somebody.
[Vince] Yeah, right. Take a look at him.
Unbelievable the size of this man, 568 pounds
of King Mabel.
Mo listed at a slimmer 288 pounds.
Men on a Mission.
Against the combined… Here we go!
[Ramon's theme music plays]
[Vince] The Bad Guy Razor Ramon.
On his way with his friend Savio Vega
for the very first time In Your House!
[announcer] The team of The Bad Guy Razor Ramon
and Savio Vega!
[King] What's that around the waist of Razor Ramon?
Are his ribs not healed fully?
Is he crazy?
[Vince] Razor Ramon
ready for action and so is Savio Vega.
And it's great to see The Bad Guy Razor Ramon back in.
Get ready to roll!
This will be the first time you'll see
The Bad Guy Razor Ramon in action
'cause he's been out of action for the last 44 days
with that rib injury sustained out in the Nassau County Coliseum
on June 9th.
But The Bad Guy is back and ready for a tag team match,
as Razor Ramon and his good friend Savio Vega.
Although Men on a Mission,
honestly have an advantage in terms of longevity…
-[King] That's right. -…functioning as a team.
[King] That's right because, as you say,
Razor Ramon and Savio Vega, they may be good friends,
but this is the first time they have ever formed a tag team
and are gonna be in action against…
Look at… Look at Mabel there.
He's truly deserving that crown.
-[Vince] How badly injured… -[King] And Sir Mo.
[Vince] How badly injured are the ribs of The Bad Guy?
I guess we're gonna find out that answer very shortly.
-Look at Mabel and Mo… -[bell dings]
…lifting the crowns high aloft.
Mabel the 1995 King of the Ring winner.
Oh, my good… Look at that! There's nothing wrong with his ribs.
Razor just threw that wrap right into the kisser…
right into the face of Mabel.
And The Bad Guy is really gonna let it fly here I predict,
tonight, In Your House.
[King] Well, I was just gonna say if brains were sunshine,
Razor would be a snowstorm,
because wearing that wrap out here
was like painting a target right on his rib cage.
But maybe he really doesn't need it. Who knows?
Was it a psychological ploy?
[Vince] Obviously, this capacity crowd very much behind Razor Ramon.
Oh, Mo putting the bad mouth
-on The Bad Guy. -[all exclaiming]
[Vince] There's a toothpick for you. Oh, and a slap!
-[King] How about that? -[Vince] How about it?
Razor Ramon locking up with Mo, or should I say "Sir Mo"?
[King] Always say "Sir Mo."
[Vince] Nice reversal there by Razor Ramon.
Razor now, series of shoulder blocks into the sternum area.
Razor Ramon showing no signs whatsoever of the rib injury.
Off the rope and clothesline, a little high.
On the other side and Mo!
-Oh, yeah! -[all exclaiming]
[Vince] What a maneuver by The Bad Guy Razor Ramon.
That's 288 pounds of Mo having a lot of difficulty.
And here it comes. Savio Vega.
And now, you see the teamwork of Savio and Razor Ramon.
Just one quick tag, perhaps another one,
or perhaps a lot of great teamwork we may see with this combination.
-[King] Well-- -[Vince] On the other side and… Uh-oh.
Savio hammering away. Breaks the hold.
Savio with a chop. Savio!
Fired up unquestionably here tonight in Nashville In Your House.
Clothesline and down goes Mo!
[King] If they've got any sense as a tag team,
they'll do exactly what they're doing now and that's keep big Mabel out of the ring.
[Vince] Mo now. Set up, no, reversal.
How about that maneuver?
-Cleverly done. -[King] Big knee.
[Vince] And Mo, turning things around. Oh, here he comes!
-Here comes the King of the Ring! -[King] That's it.
Look at this move.
[Vince] Oh, my goodness! Five hundred and sixty eight…
-[all exclaiming] -[Vince] And no one was there!
[King] Oh, my goodness!
[Vince] Mabel being hammered by Savio Vega.
Mabel the legal man in the ring.
And Savio… Oh, my…
-[all exclaiming] -[Vince] Just like that,
the 568 pound Mabel can turn things around in the blink of an eye.
[King] Now look at Chevy Vega. He's hurt, his rib cage is hurt.
[Vince] Not "Chevy Vega," it's "Savio Vega."
-[all exclaiming] -[King] Oh, look at that!
Tossed him like a feather, McMahon. Come on, Razor, you want some?
[Vince] Yeah, Razor definitely wants some. I can tell you that.
Psychological tactics being employed here by Mabel.
On the outside, it was Mo doing a number there on Savio Vega.
Mabel knew exactly what he was doing drawing the attention of the official.
Get up, boy! Kneel to The King!
[Vince] The King of the Ring.
[King] Did you hear him say, "Kneel to The King"? [laughs]
[Vince] Mabel and Mo known as Men on a Mission.
And for the ride, Savio Vega.
And Men on a Mission obviously taking a turn,
many would say, for the worst after losing their manager.
-[all exclaiming] -[Vince] Oh, goodness!
-[King] That did it. -[Vince] To the back of the head!
And Mabel is just all over. He is dominating Savio Vega. Cover!
One… We got two… That's all.
[King] Well I'm impressed now. How did he get out of that?
[Vince] I don't know. I'm sure he sort of slid out,
or as Dizzy Dean would have said, "He sled out."
-[King] Well he's pretty greasy, you know? -[Vince] I beg your pardon?
Talk about greasy. We'll get a shot of your hair a little bit later on.
And double clothesline!
-[King] My hair? -[Vince] Yes, your hair.
[King] Hey, takes a king to know a king.
-I know Mabel. I know Elvis. -[Vince] One, two…
-You know Elvis? -[King] I got the Elvis look here tonight.
It's because it's Nashville.
[Vince] You said you know Elvis as if you think he's still alive.
[King laughs]
-More on that later. -[Vince] Right.
And Mo setting up Savio Vega.
Savio. Yes.
-[all exclaiming] -Oh, my. Nicely done.
-[King] He finished him! -[Vince] And a cover!
An arrogant cover at that. And, no. Oh, come on.
Savio Vega. They know full well
what Savio Vega did the last time we saw him
going all the way to the finals in the King of the Ring.
This man has tenacity. This man has athleticism.
[King] Yeah, but he got stopped by this big man right here.
[Vince] I guess so. After wrestling four times in one night,
a WWE record at the last King of the Ring.
Off the rope, and… An elbow!
And when you run into that kind of a weight,
you're gonna go down. Just a question of where.
Savio must tag his partner Razor Ramon.
-[King] I hear Razor… That's not fair. -[Vince] What do you mean?
[King] Well, Razor's speaking Spanish to Savio. That's not…
-That's like an unfair advantage there. -[Vince] Oh, sure.
[King] They're able to communicate with each other
without Men on a Mission knowing what they're saying.
[Vince] And Mabel now…
-[Savio groans] -…working into the trapezius area.
[King] How do you say, "Help me, Razor" in Spanish?
[Vince] No idea. Concerned look we saw a moment ago on the face
of Razor Ramon.
This is the first time in the WWE
Savio and Razor have teamed up. And look at this.
-Savio… -[King] No way!
[all exclaiming]
[Vince] One, two… And he got… No, he didn't.
How did he get out of that?
Savio Vega making a classic error!
And Savio Vega, I think not knowing where he is.
Vega obviously confused
to think he could scoop up 568 pounds.
[King] I was a little bit impressed because he did get him off his feet.
-[Mabel groans] -[Vince] And… Oh, no!
Mabel is really cranking it up a notch here, or two, for sure
In Your House tonight.
[King] Tell Savio any time you go that high
you're supposed to have a stewardess with you.
[Vince] Savio Vega must tag his partner Razor Ramon,
but that's not what we're seeing.
We're seeing Men on a Mission with frequent tags.
Then again they do have the advantage
in terms of functioning together as a unit.
And both elbows striking the cranium
of Savio… reach for tag and… No!
-[King] Look at this. -[Vince] Oh, my goodness!
And Razor to the outside. Razor! He's back in.
-[King] Get out of there, hothead! -[Vince] He wants back in there.
[King] Look, here's some great team work for you. Look at that.
[Vince] Oh! Mabel snapping Savio Vega off that top rope.
Men on a Mission obviously with tag team ambitions.
[King] They wanted to make a big impression here at In your House.
Speaking of houses, I understand that Mabel,
now that he's become a king,
he's house shopping right here in Nashville.
Thinking about buying The Hermitage.
[Vince] The Hermitage? Please.
Off the rope and drop toe-hold, nicely done.
-[King] Look at this! -[all exclaiming]
[Vince] In the back of the neck.
And here comes Razor!
Razor risking disqualification.
But at this juncture, he has to do something.
Razor Ramon would like nothing better than to get into the ring
-and even the score. -[King] Uh-oh, here we go.
[Vince] And… Uh-oh.
Savio scooped up by Mabel. Body slammed by Mabel.
[King] Come on, Sir Mo!
[Vince] And Mo, I believe… Is Mo the legal man yet?
Look at what he's doing.
Mo going all the way to the top.
-What's he gonna do? -[King] No, no!
Don't try it, Mo!
[Vince] And… No one there!
[King] Don't do that no Mo!
What is wrong with Sir Mo trying to moonsault?
[Vince] Savio Vega has to collect his wits.
Savio Vega must tag Razor Ramon.
Now is the time.
Now is the opportunity, but Vega's not moving.
Razor imploring this capacity crowd to get into the match,
encourage Savio to get to his feet. And that's what's happening.
[King] Look at King Mabel.
He's hot at Sir Mo for trying that Hakushi impersonation.
Come on, tag out!
[Vince] Mo makes a move, and no one's there!
-[King] Oh, no! -[crowd cheering]
[Vince] Razor Ramon!
Impact! Hammering away!
[all exclaiming]
[Vince] And this is all Razor Ramon.
Now, Razor with the opportunity to turn this match around.
Razor with the opportunity to win this tag team…
Oh, my goodness! Don't tell me!
Mo!
[King] Get out of there, Mo!
[Vince] Razor Ramon going all the way down!
[all exclaiming]
[Vince] From the top, that'll do it!
Razor Ramon, finish him off.
See the Razor's Edge.
[King] This is where we're gonna find out if those ribs… Oh!
[Vince] Get him out of there!
A right hand, and Mabel puts on the brakes.
Another right by Razor, but retaliation by Mo.
A knee to the sternum area.
A regular… Oh, my goodness!
[King] Here we go.
Let's see him try the Razor's Edge now.
[Vince] Look at this. Mo dropping Razor down. No!
[King] Look at this, McMahon. Look at this!
Will the ring hold him?
[Vince] The top rope! Razor catches Mabel!
-Unbelievable! -[all exclaiming]
One, two… He got him! He's done it.
-[King] No, wait, he says two. -[Vince] He got--
[King] No, two.
[Vince] Off the top! What an incredible maneuver!
Razor Ramon is trying to get Mabel back down to the canvas.
Wait a minute. A knee there.
-The official is… Oh, no! -[all exclaiming]
[Vince] DDT!
And now, Mabel's turned things back around.
Off the rope, and…
-Oh, nobody's home! -[all exclaiming]
[Vince] What a tag team matchup.
[King] Razor slammed 568 pounds of Mabel now…
[Vince] Razor for the cover.
-Interference by Mo! -[all exclaiming]
-[Vince] They both dropped! -[King] They're both out.
[Vince] Savio Vega and Mo on the outside.
On the inside, it's the King of the Ring.
It's Mabel. It's The Bad Guy Razor Ramon.
Razor Ramon. Now look at this, back to the buckle.
Oh, and look out!
Oh, no. And that will just… Oh, no.
-Now you see it. -[King] There go the ribs.
There they go.
[Vince] And, snap!
Oh, my goodness! A cover. Two, and…
-[King] He got him, McMahon! -[bell dings]
[King Mabel's theme music plays]
-[announcer] The winners of the match… -[Vince] And there you have it.
-Look at the smile on the face… -…King Mabel and Sir Mo.
…of The King.
-I should say The King of the Ring. -[King] Look at this.
You've gotta admit, McMahon,
King Mabel is definitely on a roll
in World Wrestling Entertainment.
[crowd booing]
[Vince] Yes, indeed, he is definitely on a roll, for sure.
The winner of the 1995 WWE King of the Ring.
And Mabel and Mo victorious over Savio
and The Bad Guy Razor Ramon.
[King] I wish we could get a shot of your face, McMahon.
You're in shock, aren't you?
[Vince] A gallant effort on the part of Razor and Savio.
A city rich in musical history, Nashville, Tennessee.
This is where it's all gonna happen, ladies and gentlemen.
Double J Jeff Jarrett, "With My Baby Tonight,"
the live singing performance.
We have the backup singers here. We're ready to cook a little bit.
Look at this great equipment you guys have.
Yeah, it's wonderful. We got Sabian cymbals--
Look at the Roland keyboard over here.
Big Al on the guitar, Harry's on the drums.
I always wanted to do this. Watch this.
[scatting]
-[drums play] -[Vince laughs]
[vocalizing]
This is where it's all gonna happen, "With My Baby Tonight."
Big Al, are you ready for this?
I'm ready.
Musical history in Nashville, Tennessee.
This is my dream. I'll tell you this. Let me do this one more time.
[vocalizing]
[Vince] Todd is obviously having some fun.
I could do this all night.
Ladies and gentlemen, I wanna take you to Dok Hendrix,
who I understand is standing by with a couple of Diesel's lumberjacks.
They're not playing any kind of music. They are ready to go,
ladies and gentlemen, I'll tell you that. But just give me a… [vocalizing]
-Let's go. Here we go. -[Vince] All right, to Dok.
-All right, guys. Come on. -[Vince] Go ahead, Dok.
All right, I'm standing here with five of Diesel's lumberjacks.
Rumors running rampant
that DiBiase has purchased one of Diesel's lumberjacks.
And, hey, I don't want to start no trouble,
but when I pulled up today I seen both Smoking Gunns
in brand new pickup trucks.
Hey, you know, DiBiase can take his dang broads and stick it, you know?
You know, Dok, we saw Man Mountain Rock talking to Mr. D.
Oh! Well, there you see. There's another one.
I heard there's a new Rock Around The World tour.
Could DiBiase be the benefactor?
Well, I could use a new… guitar.
No way, man. DiBiase's money is dirty money!
Well if we were going in alphabetical order
we'd have to start with Adam Bomb.
Hey, look! DiBiase's tried to buy Adam Bomb and The Bomb Squad,
and I turned him down flat!
Well, that only leaves one choice,
the man that started with The Million Dollar Corporation.
Bam Bam, just between you and us.
No, no, because nobody knows The Corporation
better than Bam Bam Bigelow.
And I'll tell you this, Dok,
not even you would want to cut a deal with The Million Dollar Man.
But I'm gonna say another thing,
when Big Daddy Cool presses big Sid up over his head,
-Yeah! -…slams him to the mat,
-Yeah! -…right by Bam Bam Bigelow's feet,
Bam Bam Bigelow's gonna do exactly what he said,
-he's gonna set him on fire. -Yeah!
-And we are not gonna stop… -Yeah!
…until The Corporation is bankrupt and broke!
[all cheering]
Back to you, Vinny Mac. Back to you, it's crazy here!
It's crazy all right. No question about it.
What are we gonna see in the Lumberjack Match?
Will we have a new champion? Lot of firsts here In Your House.
And standing by…
Talk about firsts, take a look at this hairdo.
-What? -Look at this.
You're a fine one to talk about hair.
I knew they made press-on nails.
I didn't know they made press-on hair, but I guess they do.
The band is ready indeed. Is Double J ready?
I believe, yes. The Roadie's standing by for his introduction.
Here we go.
-Go ahead, Road Dogg. -[Road Dogg] Ladies and gentlemen,
without further ado,
the moment each and every one of you have all been waiting for…
-[Vince] Choke, choke, choke. -[King] Hey!
…singing his hit single "With My Baby Tonight,"
the World Wrestling Entertainment Intercontinental Champion,
Double J Jeff Jarrett!
[Vince] And again, ladies and gentlemen, you have to wonder
whether or not there are any butterflies
in the stomach of Double J Jeff Jarrett.
Lot of pressure he puts on himself here,
performing live in his hometown here in Nashville.
[King] McMahon, he is a seasoned professional.
Behind that mic, there's… there's nobody better.
Right now Garth Brooks, he's shaking in his boots.
Kenny Rogers, he's thinking, "It's time to fold 'em."
All of these so-called country stars
are worried to death…
They… they're hopeless.
-Hello, folks, Double J here. [laughs] -[King] Listen to this.
That's J-E-F-F. [laughs]
J-A-R-R-E-T-T.
That's Double J Jeff Jarrett.
The world's greatest singer.
[Vince] Maybe.
The world's greatest entertainer.
[King] Without a doubt.
And you're gonna find out in a little while,
the world's greatest wrestler.
[King] Right up there with me, McMahon.
-[Vince] That high, huh? -You know,
from day one in World Wrestling Entertainment,
I told everybody
I was gonna use the WWE,
and that is exactly what I have done.
I have soared straight to the top,
and I wear the Intercontinental Title
around my waist proudly.
And also, like I said I was going to do,
I've got a hit single out right now,
"Back With My Baby Tonight."
You know Buddy Lee and everybody else over on Music Row.
And as far as that goes,
everybody in this building tonight
didn't think old Double J, didn't think Jeff Jarrett
had the talent
to make it as a country music star.
Well, I proved everybody wrong.
-[King] Looks like Buddy Lee… -I proved everybody wrong.
So after I get done singing my song,
I want everybody to march up to the concession stand
and get a big serving of crow,
-'cause that's exactly what you deserve. -[Vince] Crow?
[laughs]
Boys, are y'all ready?
-[King] Are you ready, McMahon? -Road Dogg, you got everything in place?
[Vince] I'm ready. I'm really looking forward to this.
[King] You're nervous. Admit it.
-[Vince] Me? I'm nervous? -[King] Yeah, you gotta be.
-Now don't you forget… -[King] Gonna have egg all over your face.
…that's J-E-F-F. [laughs] J-A-R-R-E-T-T.
-[Vince] Well, he can sing… -Double J Jeff Jarrett.
…and he can spell.
The world's greatest entertainer, the world's greatest wrestler,
and you're fixin' to find out the world's greatest singer. [laughs]
["With My Baby Tonight" playing]
[Vince] All right, here we go!
Double J Jeff Jarrett!

Can he bring the house down?

[Vince] Oh, baby!
Double J Jeff Jarrett,
"With My Baby Tonight."
[King] Stand up, McMahon. That deserves a standing ovation.
[Vince] Well, it's a tremendous tune…
-[King] Wow! -…and an okay performance.
[Double J] How about that, Nashville?
-[King] What? -A good performance.
[King] You were standing up making a fool out of yourself.
Eat your crow right up,
because old Double J just proved
that he was the world's greatest singer.
And in just a few minutes… [laughs]
…I'm gonna prove I'm the world's greatest wrestler.
[laughs] Ain't I great?
[Vince] Well, the song certainly is and I might add,
the, uh, song is available via cassette tomorrow night
on Monday Night RAW.
Finally, we can hear it, "With My Baby Tonight." All right!
We're all headed, ladies and gentlemen--
not necessarily to the Country Music Hall of Fame--
but we're definitely headed to SummerSlam 1995!
[reporter on TV] The heatwave continues.
[Vince on TV] Oh, yeah! Look at this.
Big Daddy Cool Diesel is coming to town.
Hey, Would you like to go to SummerSlam?
Sure.
[Vince] Anything can happen here in the WWE.
Yes, it's going to be…
For a moment there, I felt young again.
Where did Martha go?
Super-sized Stridex Pads presents SummerSlam,
live on Pay-Per-View.
[Vince] And if you're wondering where Martha is,
she's on her way to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
the site of SummerSlam.
Over 11,000 tickets already gone, folks!
So if you're thinking about joining us,
better get over to Pittsburgh pretty quickly,
and that's without even knowing who's on the WWE line up.
Maybe word got out that you were gonna be there, King.
-[King] Exactly. -[Vince] Yeah.
[King] I'll tell you, it'll be a sellout.
[Vince] SummerSlam headed your way.
But right now, we've got Todd Pettengill.
-Todd, where are you? -[King] Oh, no!
Yes, sir. The greatest fans in the entire world,
the World Wrestling fans, Nashville, Tennessee.
I wanna see what you guys thought.
What did you think of Double J Jeff Jarrett "With My Baby Tonight"?
Yeah. He was okay.
He did a pretty good job.
-What's the reviews here tonight? -Man, he's a killer.
You love him! Double J Jeff Jarrett.
-He stinks! -Well, I like him.
What about you guys? You liking tonight?
-I thought he was pretty good. -People are saying,
"I can't believe Double J did everything he said he was gonna do," right?
I mean, you told me he's a good singer.
-He's pretty good. -See…
-[Vince] Just "pretty good." -…that's all everybody feels.
Nobody wants to say it but they're hearing it here tonight.
Double J Jeff Jarrett. What do you guys think? Thumbs up?
-Thumbs down? -[Vince] No.
-Whoa! -[King groans]
-The reviews are coming in. -[Vince] That is some crowd.
We'll ask Siskel and Ebert later on what they think.
Right now, the Hog Farmer's coming, and we're going back to ringside.
[King] What do you expect with Todd Pettengill,
the Kevorkian of commentators, out there asking people?
[announcer] Introducing first…
[Vince] Here he comes, ladies and gentlemen, big old Hog Farmer.
We have seen him in action as of late.
-Matter of fact in a matchup with Bam… -[King] Oh!
[Vince] Thank you very much for showing us that. Here we go.
And the hog farmer coming up from behind.
It was Bam Bam against Sycho Sid. Look what he did!
Bam Bam lost his balance there.
And if that's not enough,
recently, look at this.
Nothing like a slop drop…
-[King] Well. -…on Adam Bomb.
[Vince] And there's a good look at him.
[King] Down in Bitters, Arkansas, that's a sign that you like somebody.
[Vince] When you drop slop on them like that?
[King] Taking them out to dinner like that.
[Vince] Please.
Big, nasty, mean Hog Farmer.
And what a matchup this is gonna be
with Bam Bam Bigelow!
-And here comes… -[announcer] And here comes his opponent…
The Beast from the East!
…weighing 360 pounds,
The Beast from the East,
Bam Bam Bigelow!
[Vince] Bam Bam Bigelow!
Three hundred raw pounds of Bam Bam ready for action!
Trying to even the score a bit.
This Hog Farmer, lot of speculation
as to whether or not this Hog Farmer
is actually in the employ of Ted DiBiase. You know what I mean?
[King] Well, I've just… I've been checking… Oh!
-[all exclaiming] -[Vince] It's hot! Yeah, it's blazing hot!
In Your House, here tonight.
Live from Music City, USA.
Bam Bam against the big, rugged Hog Farmer.
[King] You talked about The Corporation. I've been doing a little…
-just a sort of little inside checking… -[bell dings]
…and I found out-- I don't think he's actually in The Corporation yet.
But if he beats Bam Bam Bigelow, that's his ticket in.
[Vince] Standing side headlock now by Bam Bam Bigelow.
Two monsters in there and…
-Whoa, look at that maneuver. -[King] Whoa!
[Vince] Henry Godwinn, 288 pounder and…
-Bam Bam Bigelow… -[King] Look out!
…tight waist from behind, gets him up and…
Yeah! Not bad.
Bammer.
Bam Bam now, with the Hog Farmer and…
-[King] Another one. -…another one? Yes!
That is a whole lot of weight coming crashing down.
Bam Bam Bigelow! A tackle to the outside.
And the Hog Farmer is out there with the slop somewhere.
Wait a minute, Bam Bam's coming out right after him.
Bam Bam Bigelow and Henry Godwinn.
-And Godwinn… -[King] Oh!
…being hammered by Bam Bam.
Henry Godwinn, ladies and gentlemen, you will recall in a match with
WWE Champion Diesel
gave Big Daddy Cool… My goodness!
Just about more than he could bargain for on one occasion.
For that matter, the Hog Farmer has done the very same to The Undertaker.
So really an accomplished wrestler
-as well as this match! -[all exclaiming]
[King] I'll tell you somebody that's not liking this right now.
-[Vince] Who's that? -[King] Bill Clinton.
-[Vince] Bill Clinton? -[King] That's right.
Henry Godwinn is, without a doubt, Bill Clinton's favorite wrestler.
-He's watching right now. -[Vince] Just because he's from Arkansas
or do they have something in common other than that?
-[King] Well, I'm just saying-- -[Vince] Oh, look at that!
To the outside, Bam Bam Bigelow,
who was going to careen into this big Hog Farmer,
and the Hog Farmer alertly pulling down that top rope.
Henry Godwinn now with an opportunity to turn things back around.
The Hog Farmer setting up The Beast from the East.
-[King] Whoa, on the floor. -[Vince] Oh, no.
-[King] Oh! -[Vince] Slams him to the outside
and beats the count back in.
And, uh, obviously, Bam Bam Bigelow having some difficulty,
as you would suspect anyone would
against this big, mean, rugged Hog Farmer.
[King] I think Bam Bam's starting to think… Oh!
Had been taking Henry Godwinn for granted,
-but I don't think he is right now. -[Vince] No, I disagree with that.
I don't think Bam Bam takes anyone for granted.
Bam Bam Bigelow has been on the quest to even the score
with every member of The Million Doller Team,
and he has evened that score with a number of them.
Bam Bam, ladies and gentlemen, quitting The Million Doller Team, and…
[King] Whoa! Wait a minute now. Get your story straight, he was fired.
-[Vince] He quit. -[King] Oh, McMahon!
[Vince] Bam Bam Bigelow. Set up for the ride. No, reversal.
Here he comes and… Oh!
Nice maneuver on the part of Henry Godwinn.
Oh, my goodness.
[King] The great thing about the hog man is…
-He's won it right here. -[Vince] One, two and…
Got him! No, he didn't. Very close.
[King] He'll do anything to win a match.
But the main thing, he is not intimidated by anybody.
Ordinarily, you go in there with Bam Bam Bigelow,
you gotta be a little worried.
You gotta be thinking what is Bam Bam Bigelow gonna do
to this man's great reputation?
But not Henry Godwinn. He don't care who he's wrestling.
[Vince] Henry Godwinn a tough hombre.
Yes, we are live from Nashville, Tennessee.
And I must say, quite a stellar performance
that we saw and heard a little bit earlier on.
Double J must be very proud of himself.
[King] I'll tell you this. It turned out,
so far, it's half way there to being the greatest night of his life.
Once he defeats Shawn Michaels…
[laughs] Can't be topped.
[Vince] Well, then people are gonna have to agree with him.
They're gonna have to say, "Yeah, you're great."
[King] Will you say that, McMahon?
Wanna get a tape recorder when you say it.
[Vince] Back on his feet, Bam Bam Bigelow driving the elbow
and off the rope, underneath the round house
from the far side and… What an impact!
One, two, and… And a kick out by Henry Godwinn.
Hit him with a clothesline.
And just like that, he turns the match around.
Two rugged individuals in there,
Bam Bam Bigelow and Henry Godwinn.
Bammer, from Asbury Park…
-[King] Hey, he's got that bucket of slop. -[Vince] Hey, come on, ref.
[King] That'd make a nice looking hat for Bam Bam, wouldn't it?
-[Vince] A hat? -[King] Yeah.
That bucket right down over that ugly face of his.
[Vince] You've got one to talk about hats
-[King] What? -[Vince] The hat you had on earlier on.
I've never seen a hat with a crown draped around it.
[King] I told you Garth Brooks gave me this hat.
[Vince] He did not.
And a big body slam by Henry Godwinn.
Godwinn off the rope and drops the elbow!
[King] That should do it.
-[Vince] Hooks the leg and… -[King] Got him.
[Vince] No, left shoulder coming up.
And speaking of coming up,
you can feel the anticipation.
We're gonna see that Hog Farmer Henry Godwinn,
if he's able to come back,
he's gonna be one of the 30 lumberjacks
surrounding this ring here in Nashville.
For the first time ever on Pay-Per-View,
the WWE title up for grabs in this manner.
Wow!
And… Oh! Hog Farmer Henry Godwinn hesitating just a bit.
Bam Bam charging out of the corner.
Bammer with a headbutt.
Bam Bam with Henry Godwinn
has a bit of momentum. Another headbutt and down he goes.
The Hog Farmer on the canvas
and… Oh! A boot.
[King] Come on, Henry Godwinn, Ted DiBiase's watching this right now.
He's watching.
I think DiBiase's also been on the phone today
-to Deion Sanders. -[Vince] What?
[King] Well, yeah, he's waiting to report to San Francisco
until he talks to DiBiase.
-[Vince] And, bam! -[King] That did it. That did it.
[Vince] Well, Henry Godwinn moving out of the way.
We saw the last time Bam Bam Bigelow went up for that maneuver,
Henry Godwinn shoved him off.
[King] Cover him! Cover him!
[Vince] Now is the opportunity for Henry Godwinn
to polish off Bam Bam Bigelow!
-Here we go, and… Oh! -[King] Look out!
[all exclaiming]
[Vince] A cover here!
Hooked the leg. Did he get the shoulder down?
-[King] No! -[bell dings]
-[crowd cheering] -[Bam Bam's theme song plays]
[announcer] The winner of the match, Bam Bam Bigelow!
[Vince] And the Hog Farmer from Arkansas--
Oh, no. Wait a minute. He has that bucket of slop.
Keep… Keep his distance, ref.
Henry Godwinn defeated by Bam Bam Bigelow,
and that was a pretty tough matchup.
[King] It was. He went down on that big hog leg.
What's he gonna do with that bucket?
[Vince] Nonetheless, Bam Bam Bigelow
with another notch in his belt, so to speak,
with The Million Dollar Team.
All right, Todd Pettengill is standing by, ladies and gentlemen.
Todd Pettengill… Wait a minute. Hey, wait a minute.
What…
That's Bob Backlund.
[overlapping conversations]
[King] That… That kid loves Bob Backlund Look at his haircut.
-He's like Bob-- -I'd vote for you.
[King] He said he'd vote for him. You heard that, didn't you?
[Vince] Bob Backlund out in the arena campaigning.
[King] I'll tell you what…
I've been… I've been listening to the campaign
and I'm starting to agree with a lot of the things Bob says.
[Vince] You're agreeing with Bob Backlund?
[King] Who? No, come on, Bob Dole. What's wrong with you?
All right, standing by, ladies and gentlemen, Todd Pettengill.
Thank you very much.
I don't know if you still have to be popular to run for office.
But if that's still the case,
the man I'm standing with, the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels,
could certainly win any office in the land.
And, Shawn, we saw it here live
"With My Baby Tonight," Double J.
He seems to be on a roll in World Wrestling Entertainment.
Well, you know something?
Goldilocks has been living in his fairytale world,
but tonight he made it a reality, he got out there and sang.
I can't knock Double J. I bet you people call him on my birthday.
My birthday was yesterday, nobody called me.
But, the fact of the matter is, the fans of World Wrestling Entertainment
want The Heartbreak Kid to get himself his own birthday present,
and that present is gonna be the WWE Intercontinental Championship belt.
Goldilocks, your fairytale run is over here in the World…
Wrestling Entertainment, is that what this place is called?
-Yes, sir. -Something like that.
-They didn't change it. -That's good.
-It's not the Double J-F. -No, it's not. It's the WWE.
I'm gonna be the new Intercontinental Champion,
and, Double J, you're going down courtesy of The Heartbreak Kid.
The one and only Shawn Michaels
ready to, hopefully, take the World Wrestling Entertainment
Intercontinental Title for a record-tying third time.
Who knows what's gonna happen? Guys, let's get back to you.
[Vince] All right, Todd. Thank you very much.
What about the prospects of Shawn Michaels taking the title?
[King] Well, I heard him talking about getting calls at his house.
-[bell dings] -You ever been to Shawn Michaels' house?
[Vince] No, I haven't.
[King] His telephone doesn't ring, it applauds.
-He's got such a big head. -[Vince] Maybe it should.
[King] Oh, yeah. He thinks he's the greatest thing going,
but I think Double J has shown him tonight
that there are other stars in the universe besides Shawn.
[Vince] What? What's The Roadie doing here?
[announcer] …Intercontinental Champion, Double J Jeff Jarrett.
[Vince] The Roadie coming out and, uh, motioning to the ring announcer.
What is this?
Music City, USA.
You just heard the man.
You just heard the man. Did you not?
[crowd booing]
The World Wrestling Entertainment Intercontinental Champion
-today… -[King] Yeah.
…and he'll be the Intercontinental Heavyweight champion
-tomorrow. -[King] All right.
There ain't nothing all of you Nashvillians
-or the Heartbreak punk Shawn Michaels… -[Vince] Uh-oh
…can do about it.
[King] Did you see that sign at ringside that said,
-"Double J Jerk Jarrett"? -[Vince laughs]
Double J-- little hot, little sweaty…
-[King] Look at that. -…from singing the debut
toweling off,
last minute touches on the outfit.
You know Double J does nothing half-cocked.
-Ladies and gentlemen… -[Vince] Come on, let's go, huh?
…without further ado the World Wrestling Entertainment Intercontinental Champion…
-[King] There he is. -…Double J Jeff Jarrett!
-[Vince] I'm not hearing too many cheers. -[crowd booing]
[King] Adjust your headset.
[Vince] That's J-E-F-F.
He can spell, he can sing,
and now we're gonna find out if he can wrestle successfully here
live before this hometown crowd in Nashville.
Double J unquestionably against one of the greats
in World Wrestling Entertainment, ladies and gentlemen.
We're talking about Shawn Michaels.
[King] But Double J… Look at him. He gives it all to his fans.
He went back,
after that beautiful outfit he had on when he made his singing debut,
he went back and put on this gorgeous outfit
Right wow Porter Wagoner's eating his heart out.
-[Vince] Ain't he great? -[King] Look at that.
[Shawn theme song plays]
-[Vince] Here we go! -[crowd cheering]
[announcer] And the challenger,
from San Antonio, Texas…
[Vince] Listen to this crowd!
…the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels!
♪ Up and down their spine ♪
♪ I'm just a sexy boy ♪ ♪ Sexy boy… ♪
[Vince] This capacity crowd is electric!
♪ I'm just a sexy boy ♪
♪ Sexy boy ♪
♪ I'm not your boy toy ♪
♪ Boy toy ♪
♪ I make them hot, I make them shiver ♪
♪ Their knees get weak… ♪
[Vince] Yeah, Shawn Michaels!
He is hot tonight!
[King] Boy, I'll tell you, McMahon, it's really a shame.
It's really a shame what's happened here in Nashville.
I can remember a day
when if a guy showed up with hair like Shawn Michaels' in this city,
he'd have been run out of town on a rail.
Now look at 'em, they're going crazy for him.
♪ I'm not your boy toy ♪
♪ Boy toy ♪
♪ Eat your heart out, girls… ♪
[Vince] Whoa! Yes, indeed.
Shawn Michaels!
Mr. Charisma!
And Double J and The Roadie
just can't believe the response Shawn Michaels is getting.
[King] I can't either. This is Double J's hometown.
What's wrong with these people?
Wow, what's her hobby? Stepping on rakes?
[Vince] I beg your pardon?
-[King] See that face? -[Vince] Stop it.
All right, Shawn Michaels ready for action.
Double J Jeff Jarrett
-may have been, uh… -[bell dings]
…blown away by that response.
Double J, I'm sure would have hoped,
based upon his singing performance with…
-But let's listen up. -[crowd booing]
[Vince] They don't like him in his hometown.
And I've gotta tell you, King, you should know this.
When they don't like you in your hometown,
then that doesn't say too much for you.
[King] Why would I know that, McMahon?
-[Vince] You being from Memphis. -[King] I'm beloved everywhere I go.
What does that mean?
[Vince] Wait a minute!
-Michaels checking himself… -[King] Wait a minute!
…in the reflection of the Intercontinental Championship belt.
[King] And did you see that sign that little kid had?
"Time for some chin music."
They think that Michaels is gonna superkick Double J.
If he sticks his foot anywhere close to Double J's face,
Double J will grab that leg of his
-slap it right into a Figure Four leglock. -[Vince] Oh, really?
All right, Shawn Michaels.
Shawn Michaels, ladies and gentlemen,
having a few words, uh, with The King.
[King] This is Double J's night. Nothing can go wrong here.
[Vince] That remains to be seen. Oh!
[King] Hell, yeah! Whoa!
-[Vince] And a nice retaliation! -[all exclaiming]
[King] What about the fist by Shawn Michaels there?
[Vince] Now, let's remember, ladies and gentlemen,
here in World Wrestling Entertainment,
you must pin your opponent or have him submit.
That's the only way a title changes hands here in the WWE.
And with The Roadie on the outside,
-will Double J… -[King] Look at this!
-[Vince] Oh, my! -[crowd cheering]
Psychological tactics employed by Shawn Michaels.
[King] I think the crowd's sort of split. I see some fans,
-I see a sign over there that says-- -[Vince] Split?
[King] That says, "Double J, Nashville's favorite son."
[Vince] Only sign that's over there is the E-X-I-T sign. Give me a break.
And an arm drag takedown nicely executed by Double J.
And to take nothing away from Double J's wrestling credentials,
which rank right up there.
[crowd booing]
Right up where is the question.
[King] Right up there where they should be.
-The… The… -[Vince] Easy for you to say.
[King] The credentials of the Intercontinental Champion.
What more credentials you need?
[Vince] Three-time Intercontinental Champion.
However, if Shawn Michaels wins the title here tonight,
no doubt he'll be with his baby later on tonight.
And Shawn Michaels would be, likewise, a three-time winner
of the Intercontinental Championship. Here we go.
And a wind up here!
Hair pull, come on, from behind the official's back.
-Right in… Look at this! -[all exclaiming]
[Vince] Double J through to Michaels, puts on the brakes.
Underneath Shawn Michaels.
-[King] Oh, McMahon! -[crowd cheering]
[King] See Shawn Michaels. He's in shock right now.
He's not used to being in the ring with somebody that's just as quick as he is.
[Vince] And Shawn Michaels, unfortunately,
on the receiving end of a little chin music.
[King] That's right. Now look at Double J.
-[Vince] Look at Double J. -[King] Ain't he cool?
[Vince] Then again, you hear this partisan crowd
He thinks I'm mad but now I'm really gonna get mad.
[Vince] All right, Shawn Michaels.
[King] He's a sore loser. He reminds me… He's a whiner.
He reminds me of John McEnroe. Did you read about John McEnroe?
You know, he owns couple of floors of an apartment building
and so he keeps the elevator tied up all the time.
And then everybody's complaining about it, so Shawn--
so McEnroe's whining because everybody's complaining.
-Just like Shawn Michaels, he's a whiner. -[Vince] I can tell you,
your elevator doesn't go all the way to the top,
-that's for sure. -[King] What?
[Vince] Standing side headlock, Double J Jeff Jarrett
grinding it out here now with Shawn Michaels.
Michaels with Double J, off the rope, over the hip…
Nope, reversal. No a block! Blocked again!
-[King laughs] Look at this. -[Vince] And…
-Oh, look at that! -[all exclaiming]
[Vince] Oh, yeah, a block, mid-section.
And, look at that, Michaels underneath,
Michaels… a right hand! Michaels setting up Double J Jeff Jarrett.
Now reversal. To the buckle and…
And… Oh, right hand!
Off the rope and over the hip. Yeah!
And from there the clothesline to the outside!
They both go out.
And Michaels comes right back in.
That's the kind of athleticism this man has.
[crowd cheering]
-[King] That is the ultimate insult. -[Vince] What's the ultimate insult?
[King] Shawn Michaels doing the Double J strut.
[Vince] Thought he did it better than Double J.
I wonder if Shawn Michaels can sing.
I bet he can sing better than Double J.
[King] You're gonna fix to find out he can't wrestle as good as Double J.
[Vince] That remains to be seen.
Double J on the outside
taking his sweet time being assisted by The Roadie.
[King] You said I don't have any fans--
[Vince] Wait up, come on. He's not gonna walk out of this!
[crowd booing]
[Vince] Double J walking from the ring, and he can walk with the title.
Wait a minute…
What's this?
[King] If the referee counts him out, he keeps the title.
[Vince] I can't believe Double J is gonna embarrass himself
with a loss.
[crowd] Six, seven…
[Vince] He's more of a competitor than that.
…eight, nine…
[Vince] Back in and right back out.
[King] Smart move. Smart move.
[Vince] Double J using a bit of psychology,
fooling around with Shawn Michaels who's very, very anxious
to win the Intercontinental Championship.
[King] You're great. You're great, Double J, and you're smart.
He's got fans everywhere just like I do.
Couple fans up in Massachusetts that are watching right now
are George Birch and his son Michael Birch.
They're watching this right now.
-[Vince] Where? -[King] Massachusetts.
[Vince] That's Massachusetts?
-[King] What did I say? -[Vince] Never mind.
[crowd booing]
[Vince] Double J is stalling. There's no doubt about it.
Wait a minute. Shawn Michaels is making…
[King] Look out! Look out! Look out!
[Vince] Michaels on the outside, spinning Double J now honing in.
Michaels hammering Double J!
That's one way to get him back into the ring, back into the match.
Shawn Michaels one leap to the top… Uh-oh.
And Double J takes full advantage. Here comes Double J!
-No! Right across… -[all exclaiming]
-…the back of the head. -[King] Oh, yeah!
[Vince] Double J trying to set up Michaels,
did a pretty good job of it.
Michaels very, very anxious… Dropkick there!
[crowd cheering]
-[King] Look out, Double J! -[Vince] A right hand!
Roadie… Up the… Stop it!
Ref, get him… Uh-oh.
Michaels taking care of business in his own right.
-And Double J! -[all exclaiming]
[crowd cheering]
[Vince] Unbelievable action here in Nashville, In Your House.
Wait a minute, look at that!
[King] He's not gonna do that, is he?
[Vince] Shawn Michaels is up on the top!
Michaels could leap from that.
[crowd cheering]
-[King] Disqualify him! -[Vince] Unbelievable!
I've never seen anything like that in my life.
[King] He has got to be disqualified.
[Vince] Shawn Michaels, what a maneuver!
Let's take a look at the double feature.
Shawn Michaels, ladies and gentlemen, thus far,
pretty much taking it to Double J Jeff Jarrett.
Now we're going back.
We'll stay with this on the right live.
-And, oh, my goodness! -[all exclaiming]
[Vince] All right, back to live action if we can.
Yeah, Shawn Michaels stopped there.
And Michaels will pick right up where he left off.
[Double J] Wait, wait, wait.
[Vince] Shawn… Double J. Look at this. High gear reverse.
[King] Just a smart maneuver… Oh!
[Vince] How smart?
For the ride. Uh-oh, look out for the reversal and…
Look… a fake by Michaels!
[King] No, he's not there, Double J. He's still on the ropes!
[Vince] Where is he? There he is! Now, over the hip, and…
and…
Oh, no, he moved. Michaels moved.
Double J around his handler. Look at this!
-Unbelievable! -[King] Whoa!
-[all exclaiming] -[King] That is it!
[Vince] And, unfortunately, I'm afraid that'll do it.
We're gonna show you that once again.
Double J Jeff Jarrett… Wait a minute.
[King] Please show it in slow motion.
I love it. I wanna see it real slow.
[Vince] Double J with Michaels.
What's he gonna do with him on the outside?
-[King] Oh, no. -[Vince] Down to the steel steps.
All right, let's take another look at it.
[King] I wanna see it. Oh, look at this.
[Vince] We'll stay with the live action on the right of the screen.
We'll show you what happened just a few moments ago
on the double feature on the left side.
Watch this now. Underneath, he goes way up!
All the way over!
Unbelievable, to the outside!
[King] That's pretty.
[Vince] What resilience on the part of Michaels that he's still walking,
that he's still conscious after that.
I don't believe I've quite ever seen an athlete
quite like the stature of Shawn Michaels ever in the history of the WWE.
-And, oh, no! -[King] Oh!
Well, what about Double J?
[Vince] Oh, he can do it, he's got him--
No. Oh!
A count of two is all Double J can get on Shawn Michaels.
[King] Come on, Double J, this is your hometown.
These are your fans, this is your night!
-[Vince] These are his fans? -[King] Yes.
[Vince] These are Shawn Michaels' fans.
Michaels being set up, off the rope, and…
abdominal stretch!
[King] He's got him now, McMahon, I can assure you.
I can hear him giving up. I hear him giving up!
Come on, referee, can you not hear that?
All Double J has to do now is keep the pressure
on Shawn Michaels,
and it's gonna be-- and I know these fans in Nashville,
they're fickle, they'll turn, they'll switch,
they'll be behind Double J all the way
when he retains that title.
What are you looking at, referee?
No!
[King] Nothing, nothing.
Come on, Double J, put the pressure to him.
Did he give up? Does he give up?
Yes! He said yes! He said yes!
[all exclaiming]
[King] What is wrong with this official?
That did it! That did it!
All you gotta do now is cover him, Double J.
Look at the look on the faces of these people-- they're stunned.
-Got him! -Two!
[King] What? What's wrong with your mic, McMahon?
Oh, this is great! There's something wrong with Vince McMahon's mic.
[laughs] I got it. It's my night too now.
Look at this, okay. Double J has got him in the ropes.
He's got… He's got him begging for mercy.
Shawn Michaels has given up about three or four times.
And now, that's right, keep the referee, you got him.
The Roadie trying to convince Shawn Michaels
that he's had enough.
Trying to tell Shawn Michaels to just go ahead and say it out loud
-that he gives up. -Three!
Four!
[King] And now this one-sidedness, biased official
reading Double J the Riot Act.
And look at this! No, look out!
-[Vince] What a maneuver there! -[King] What… What are you?
[Vince] We had… We had some technical difficulties,
but mics are back in order.
And cover, two and… Oh, he didn't.
[King] I was doing fine without you, McMahon.
[Vince] I'm sure you were.
You may have had something to do with this mic problem.
And… Michaels, oh, no!
Trying to hang on, but the momentum too great.
And Michaels, once again, on the outside.
[King] What a match.
Come on, Double J.
[Vince] Double J Jeff Jarrett defending the Intercontinental Championship
here before his hometown.
[King] Can you imagine… Can you imagine the celebration tonight
at the Grand Ole Opry?
And at the Ryman Auditorium? They'll be going crazy.
They'll be dancing in the streets in front of the Ryman Auditorium.
There'll be bulletins breaking in on the Nashville network.
-Double J-- -[Vince] Look at this!
Double J being escorted back down by the official.
Would Double J have had the guts…
Wait a minute, comes leap in, here comes The Roadie!
Behind the official's back.
That's what The Roadie's good for.
[King] What did The Roadie?
[Vince] This may have cost Shawn Michaels the Intercontinental Title…
[King] Look at Road Dogg. He can dance.
[referee] Two!
I am the winner!
[Vince] And there he is, Double J Jeff Jarrett.
I win by count-out. I win by count-out.
-[crowd booing] -[Vince] And, uh,
that could happen.
The official picking up the count.
And Double… Michaels…
[King] Just stay down, Shawn Michaels. You don't want any more of this--
[Vince] Michaels is coming up!
[King] You don't want any more punishment.
-You cannot take it. -[Vince] Michaels back in!
Michaels back in just on the count of ten!
And Double J can't believe it.
Double J now to the outside.
This is the opportunity for Double J to finish off Shawn Michaels.
He has the momentum. From the top, high risk maneuver, and…
flying body press. Wait a minute!
One, two… No!
[crowd cheering]
[Vince] Michaels almost pulled it off.
Michaels being set up by Double J.
No, reversal. Off the rope and… and…
Look at this maneuver.
Michaels hooked in!
-Can Michaels… -[King] Get him!
-Oh! -[Vince] The right hand connects!
One, two… No!
One, two, and…
Almost a count of three.
-Drop kick right in the-- -[King] Oh, right in the face!
There's some chin music for you.
[Vince] This could do it, and… No, no.
What a matchup. Unbelievable!
[King] Can this referee even count to three?
[Vince] Double J Jeff Jarrett looking up at the official
as if, "What is going on?"
Michaels set up again, Double J…
Missing with the elbow, missing with the clothesline,
and now with the sleeper hold!
Double J can put to sleep Shawn Michaels' effort
at winning the Intercontinental Championship!
[King] How fitting this is gonna be, McMahon.
Double J standing victoriously
over a completely unconscious Shawn Michaels.
Then there'll be no doubt. Nobody can say it was a fluke.
-He'll be laid out flat on his back. -[crowd cheering]
[King] Listen to these people cheer for Double J.
The roof is about to come off of this auditorium.
[Vince] They're not cheering for Double J.
-[King] Huh? -[Vince] They're all hoping
that Shawn Michaels has the wherewithal to get it together
to somehow combat this sleeper hold.
And Double J really has the hold.
All over.
[Vince] Really cinched in, Double J Jeff Jarrett.
One, two, and…
-No! -[all exclaiming]
[King] Put him out! Put him out like sominex.
Come on, Double J!
What? He's getting up!
[Vince] Shawn Michaels the San Antonio native,
but you might think he hailed from Nashville
considering this response from the capacity crowd and…
-Yeah! -[all exclaiming]
[Vince] Tremendous maneuver on the part of Shawn Michaels.
[referee] Two!
[Vince] But, unquestionably,
the punishment has taken its toll on both competitors.
[King] They may both be counted out.
Four!
[King] Then Double J will retain the title.
It'll still be the greatest day of his life.
[Vince] Will it end in a double count-out?
We're up to six.
[referee] Seven!
[Vince] It's been a gallant matchup thus far.
-Eight! -[Vince] We're going to eight!
-[King] That's it! -[Vince] Michaels starting to move.
Count of nine, and now the referee says wrestle.
The match is still on.
Shawn Michaels can still become the Intercontinental Champion.
He just has to cover Double J.
[King] Get up, Double J. Get up!
[Vince] Michaels inching his way over. A cover!
Two and… Got him!
-No! -[all exclaiming]
-[Vince] No, he did not get him. -[King laughs]
[Vince] We could clearly see the right shoulder of Double J
coming up just in the nick of time.
An anxious moment there for Double J and The Roadie.
A block. A right hand connects.
Off and… Another block. And Michaels connecting.
And… From the other side, what…
[all exclaiming]
-[King] Whoa! -[Vince] Shawn Michaels!
[crowd cheering]
[Vince] Off the rope, Michaels ducks. Michaels with the right hand.
Shawn Michaels peppering Double J Jeff Jarrett.
Michaels with unbelievable momentum.
You can feel it in this capacity crowd.
To the buckle, and out and… Bam!
Michaels is bringing it to another level.
-[King] I don't like this. -Oh!
[King] Hey, that was right… That was right in his singing throat.
[Vince] Shawn Michaels is on the top rope.
Michaels looking at Double J through his legs
-and Michaels… Yes! -[all exclaiming]
[Vince] Double hand!
That should do it. One, two, and he got him!
He did not get him.
[King] Double J is great. You've gotta admit he's great!
[Vince] What do you have to do to beat Double J?
What do you have to do to beat Shawn Michaels?
Michaels now, perhaps in desperation, to the outside.
Michaels, perhaps-- well, that's a yes, go to the top.
High-risk maneuver coming up
for the two-time Intercontinental Champion.
And… Yes!
A tremendous elbow. Two and he… Got him!
[King] No! No, no, no. He didn't get him, McMahon.
[Vince] Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
[King] Jeff Jarrett is slowly winning these fans over.
-Look at 'em. -[Vince] He is?
[King] They're realizing how great he really is.
[Vince] Double J now to the buckle.
Here comes Michaels, and…
No, underneath. Nice maneuver!
Michaels with one elbow,
now grabs the other one.
-Uh-oh. -[all exclaiming]
-No! Oh! -[Vince] Oh!
And with that, Double J
might be singing a little higher octave, I don't know.
On the top rope, Shawn Michaels.
Oh, no. Did you see what The Roadie just did?
[King] Yeah.
[Vince] The Roadie shaking the ropes, and Michaels has taken a tumble.
[King] Papa sang bass, Michaels sang tenor. [laughs]
[Vince] Going to the top again, Michaels. Uh-oh, Double J right there.
Double J Jeff Jarrett climbing the rope meeting Shawn Michaels,
a shot to the rib area.
Going up now, and…
all the way from the top!
[King] You asked the question, McMahon. There's the answer.
This is what you have to do to beat Shawn Michaels.
[Vince] And here we go! Figure Four leglock and, no!
-[King] No! -[Vince] One, two… He got him!
No, he didn't. No, he didn't.
-[King] That was scary. -[Vince] An anxious moment there.
[Vince] And that likely to injure the left knee of Michaels.
Double J Jeff Jarrett, Shawn Michaels.
What a matchup, ladies and gentlemen.
What you could expect In Your House from World Wrestling Entertainment.
-Here we go. Kick to… -[King] Whoa!
[Vince] The official gets knocked down.
Double J going for the Figure Four leglock,
and Michaels kicking out of it kicked Double J
right into the official.
[King] I should go up there and count Shawn Michaels out myself.
[Vince] What do you mean by that?
[King] Well, when Double J covers him, I can count to three.
[Vince] And hopefully the official will not disqualify Shawn Michaels.
[King] Uh-oh, uh-oh, look out, Double J.
[Vince] Here comes The Roadie from behind.
And The Roadie taking the knee out
of Shawn Michaels.
And now that Figure Four leglock,
if Double J can put it on Shawn Michaels…
Wait. What's he doing now?
[King] The Roadie has got that move down to a T, doesn't he?
And look, The Roadie assisting the official.
-[King] Get him up. -[Vince] Look at this Double J--
on the top! Double J!
Flying body press!
-One, two, three… Got him! He… -[crowd cheering]
[King] He counted to three.
-[Vince] No, he did not. -[King] His hand hit the mat.
-[Vince] No, count of two. -[King] I saw it!
The official waving it off. Only a count of two.
[King] Come on!
[Vince] And now…
A bit of a reverse… Hey, wait a minute.
-[crowd cheering] -[King] What?
[Vince] Oh, my goodness!
One, two… Yes!
-Yes! Yes! -[bell dings]
-[Shawn's theme song plays] -[Vince] Yes!
[King] What did The Roadie do?
What did he do, McMahon?
[Vince] Double J Jeff Jarrett pulled The Roadie
to hook the ankle
Oh, the window was reversed.
The Roadie hooked Double J's ankle!
What poetic justice here, live In Your House
from Nashville.

[Vince] There you go.
In Your House!
And in your face Jerry "The King" Lawler.
Shawn Michaels the Intercontinental Champion
bringing it all back and… Oh, yeah!
To the winner go the spoils here at Nashville, Tennessee.
Let's take a look at the replay.
[King] I wanna see exactly what happened here.
Double J had told The Roadie to…
to grab the ankle. Is that what you said?
He's not even looking.
[Vince] Of course, he's not looking because Double J gave him the high sign.
Double J can't believe it.
The Roadie thinks for sure he did the deed Double J wanted him to do.
But there's trouble in paradise
and there's trouble here in Nashville, Tennessee,
In Your House.
All right, Barry, where are you? Barry Didinsky.
Hey, Vince. We're back here in Shawn's dressing room
where there is absolute bedlam!
Listen to these guys.
Take a look at the Shawn Michaels T-shirt.
It's available in small, medium, large,
extra-large, and double extra-large.
It also comes with the sunglasses
for only $21.
Hey, Shawn Michaels.
Three-peat, baby. How does it feel?
It feels wonderful.
We did it, boys!
The party's on the Heartbreak Kid.
All you people who didn't call me on my birthday,
see you, and I wouldn't wanna be you.
I got the only present I need.
I got the only friends I need.
I don't need nothing but a belt and my good time buddies.
You heard it from Shawn Michaels the new Intercontinental Champion.
1-800-TITAN-91
for the brand new Shawn Michaels T-shirt and the sunglass combination.
Back to your guys at ringside.
So how was that, uh, crow taste
that Double J was talking about earlier on?
How does it taste, huh?
I don't know, McMahon. I still can't believe it.
I didn't know it.
What is wrong with The Roadie? Is he that big of an idiot or what?
Come on, Double J called that.
You could see him set it up. You know that.
I don't even wanna talk about it.
I can tell you this, Big Sid will put a big dampener
on that party that's going on back there
a little bit later on.
Standing by, apparently,
there's something going on back in the locker room
Dok Hendrix has it. Dok, are you there?
Vinny Mac, you won't believe what just happened, man!
I was standing here and Double J came back and he was mad,
and then The Roadie came back and he was mad!
And Double J, he yelled at The Roadie, then The Roadie yelled at him.
Double J pushed The Roadie, and The Roadie pushed Double J.
Then they got in each other's faces, and then The Roadie, he… he hit Double J!
He knocked him down on his keister, man!
And then they went through this door. They won't let me in.
You won't believe it!
You won't believe the words coming out of their mouth!
There is trouble in paradise!
I'm telling you, man, they were at each other.
I don't know what has happened!
They have come to gloves, I don't know, man! Back to you!
I'll try to get more. I'll try.
[Vince] Unbelievable. Dok there.
-And, uh, back here… -[bell dings]
[King] Did he say The Roadie hit Double J?
[Yokozuna's theme music plays]
[Vince] I'm not sure whether or not he said that or Double J hit The Roadie.
Obviously, you can bet Double J is gonna be looking for some sort of excuse,
some reason why he lost the Intercontinental Championship.
And he can't blame The Roadie.
-[King] What do you mean-- -[Vince] That's what he said.
He set The Roadie up.
He told The Roadie to do exactly what he did.
[King] I saw…
What do you mean? The Roadie should've been watching.
He should've looked at what he was doing.
He can blame The Roadie.
[Vince] All right, here we go now!
The Tag Team Championship up for grabs and how about this?
What if the Tag Team title changes hands here tonight
just like the Intercontinental Championship?
What if all three titles change hands?
[King] This will be a black night in Nashville, Tennessee's history.
I can assure you of that.
[Vince] Yokozuna!
Two-time former World Wrestling Entertainment champion.
Yokozuna, ladies and gentlemen, joining Owen Hart.
You will recall they became the champions at WrestleMania.
Yokozuna a surprise partner with Owen Hart
facing the Smoking Gunns.
However, there'll be no surprises here tonight
because the Allied Powers
have waited a long, long time for this occasion, King.
[King] Yeah.
Allied Powers.
We're gonna see what kind of power they got
'cause they're gonna need to muster every ounce of it.
They're going against Yokozuna and Owen Hart.
[Vince] Here we go!
[announcer] …for a combined weight of 518 pounds,
Lex Luger and The British Bulldog,
they are the Allied Powers!
[Vince] The Allied Powers! Lex Luger and The British Bulldog!
Davey Boy-- There's the rocket's red glare!
And it's on tonight from Music City, USA. In Your House!
[King] I can tell you this, McMahon,
things aren't going too good for the Brits of late as you know, huh?
[Vince] Beg your pardon?
[King] Well, you remember that little trouble Hugh got into,
and then today the glorified British Open,
the greatest golf tournament in the history of England.
They always love for somebody from England to win
but a fellow Tennessean won it today, John Daly. [laughs]
All those Brits got long faces,
and I can assure you The British Bulldog
is gonna have a long face when this match is over.
[Vince] Carlos Cabrera
joining us for Spanish commentary there.
[speaking in Spanish]
In Your House in Spanish and in English!
Okay.
[King laughs] Nobody ring his Taco Bell.
-[Vince] I beg your pardon. -[bell dings]
[Vince] Yokozuna and Owen Hart.
You talk about treachery, tag team treachery--
this team, the championship team, personifies that.
-[King] Treachery? -[Vince] Treachery.
Some two years ago, ladies and gentlemen,
Lex Luger the man in the ring right now
body slammed Yokozuna on board the USS Intrepid,
and that was a body slam heard 'round the world.
-[crowd chanting] USA! USA! USA! -[Vince] Although Yokozuna
was much wider, if you will,
back in those days.
[crowd chanting] USA! USA! USA!
[King] You love to talk about past history, don't you, McMahon?
And I guess the Allied Powers… How many years ago was it
that the United States and England were Allied Powers?
[Vince] Some time ago.
-[King] Yeah. -[Vince] We're still allied powers.
-[King] Man. -[Vince] But a number of countries in, uh…
There you go with Yokozuna right away.
[King] I can assure you these people in Nashville
don't know anything about history.
You know what? They think Thomas Jefferson
was the funny little Black guy that was married to Weezy.
[Vince] I beg your pardon, that was George Jefferson.
[King] Yeah. Ask these people.
[Vince] Oh, my goodness!
Grand Ole Opry some 70 years, uh…
Oh, they know a lot about history here in Nashville.
Oh, a headbutt by Yokozuna.
Lex Luger and The British Bulldog have come to Nashville
for this opportunity
to become WWE Tag Team champions.
[King] That's right, the Grand Ole Opry is 70 years old this October,
and Helen Hart was too old to go to the first show.
They wouldn't even let her in because they didn't have a wheelchair section then.
[Vince] You're gonna pay for that, and…
And Yokozuna stops Lex Luger
and body slams him.
-Yokozuna! No. -[all exclaiming]
[Vince] You have to be quicker than that.
But if, in fact, Yokozuna had dropped the elbow on Lex,
might be scraping him up with a blotter.
Lex Luger!
And over the official's shoulder,
Yokozuna nailing Lex Luger.
[King] Well, can you imagine that official trying to push Yokozuna back?
[Vince] And look at this. Look at the power of Luger
jamming Yokozuna face first to the buckle…
-[crowd chants] Five! Six! -…repeatedly!
Lex Luger a real powerhouse.
It's now with The British Bulldog.
And they're gonna have to resort to that power
and tremendous speed and tag team coordination
if they are to be champions here tonight.
[King] I'm gonna give 'em credit, sure.
They got a lot of power,
they got magnificent physiques.
They've got muscles in places most people don't even have places.
[King] But they've promised that they're gonna slam Yokozuna--
-[Vince] Wait a minute. -[King] What happened?
[Vince] Yokozuna, when he fell down,
he dropped on Bret-- rather, Owen's foot.
[King] Oh, wow!
That could give you the permanent flat foot.
[Vince] Owen Hart, the brother
of the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be,
The Hitman Bret Hart.
And look at this, dissension among the ranks.
[all exclaiming]
[Vince] I can tell you this,
they will not successfully defend the title if this keeps up.
[King] Get in there, Cornette.
[Vince] Get in where? Get in between those two?
[King] You need to get in between them and calm them down.
Cooler heads must prevail.
[Vince] Yokozuna and Owen Hart having a difference of opinion.
[King] There you go.
Calm down. Calm down.
[overlapping conversation]
[Vince] All right, and, uh… Oh, please.
-[King] What? -[crowd booing]
[Vince] And Cornette with a very anxious moment,
hoping to keep his Tag Team Championship combination.
Wipe that ugly off your face!
[Vince] Oh, what a shot! [laughs]
[King] Get that referee out of there.
[Vince] And Owen again over the official's shoulder.
Owen Hart connecting. Owen Hart now with Lex Luger.
Luger off the rope and down goes Owen Hart.
Luger with tremendous speed from the far side
and over the hip, no, yes! Nicely done.
Arm drag takedown,
and Lex Luger is in control.
[King] For the time being. Just for the time being.
[Vince] And here we go!
British Bulldog, Owen's brother-in-law!
No love lost here in that, uh, family.
Owen Hart, the black sheep of the Hart family.
However, look at the wrestling skill on the point of Owen Hart.
-[King] That's right. -[Vince] I'm impressed.
Come on, yanking the hair.
He had to yank the hair, ref. How else would he get down to the canvas?
Snap up.
And now, look at this.
-The British Bulldog… -[King] What is he doing?
…trying to find a measure of escape.
[King] Well, I'll tell you this, British Bulldog… Man, what a move.
Come on, Owen, don't let him out-wrestle you.
There you go.
-Oh, high up… Oh, no! -[all exclaiming]
[King] Right down on the shoulder.
-[Vince] Unbelievable! -[King] That could do it right there.
[Vince] The British Bulldog manhandling Owen Hart.
Wait a minute. What's he gonna do with him now?
-[all exclaiming] -[Vince] Oh, my goodness.
Face first to the buckle, and Lex Luger
better, uh, watch himself if… if Luger and Bulldog get disqualified,
there go the opportunities to be champion.
Cover! Two, and… Got him! No, he didn't.
[King] Why don't you acknowledge all those cheap shots, McMahon?
[Vince] There are a number of cheap shots here and there, no question about it.
The British Bulldog and Lex Luger have come to Nashville
to become tag team champions.
By the way, ladies and gentlemen,
stay with us all the way through,
because we're gonna give you every second of action we possibly can
all the way up through… Oh, no!
All the cable operators should be alerted.
We're gonna give you everything we possibly can.
Oh, my goodness!
Perhaps all the way up to 8:58 Eastern so…
Oh, my goodness!
Hopefully, we can get this much show
in this limited amount of time.
[King] Uh-oh, here comes Yokozuna. It's time to flog the Dog.
[Vince] It's time to what? Oh, my!
Make a wish.
Yokozuna!
And despite this man's extraordinary girth,
Yokozuna the biggest man in the history
of World Wrestling Entertainment.
-Oh, my… -[King] Look at that!
[Vince] Yokozuna has tremendous agility and quickness.
[King] Yeah, he does.
And The British Bulldog is finding it out right now.
You know, calling him that is an insult to bulldogs.
[Vince] I beg your pardon?
[King] Look at him. Two legged flea farm.
[Vince] Why don't you be nice?
The British Bulldog,
a former WWE Tag Team champion with The Dynamite Kid.
Everybody remembers what an extraordinary tag team combination that was.
Perhaps Luger and Bulldog can make a better one. Who knows?
This is their opportunity tonight.
[King] I don't they're gonna be able to go anywhere
as long as Yokozuna
keeps that pressure clamped on his neck like that.
He may be out now.
[Vince] Yokozuna at 641 pounds
applying all kinds of pressure and weight
into the neck area of The British Bulldog.
The British Bulldog trying to make a move.
[King] Looks like he's looking for a fire hydrant.
[Vince] Bulldog trying to get back to his feet!
And Davey Boy Smith ramming the elbow to the mid-section repeatedly, and…
Yokozuna breaks the hold!
-[King] Look out! -[Vince] From the other side now!
And down goes The British Bulldog.
Here comes Owen Hart.
[King] That looked like a dog chasing a parked car, didn't it?
[Vince] And Owen Hart, ladies and gentlemen,
trying to set up… trying to finish off The British Bulldog.
Brother-in-laws they are… From the other side, and…
Finishing maneuver on the part of Owen Hart.
A cover. A count! Two, and… No.
Owen Hart unable to pull off the victory here.
Owen Hart sets up The British Bulldog again,
off the rope and, yes, over the hips!
-Owen Hart is trying-- -[King] Come on, Owen!
-Oh, he got him! -[Vince] One, two… New champ…
He… That was a count of three!
-That was a count of three! -[all exclaiming]
[King] What about that, McMahon? What power?
[Vince] One, two… No, and a kick out.
[King] Owen Hart wants so badly to rub it in the face of his family
that turned their back on him.
[Vince] A bit of controversy there involving that official.
I would suggest… It seemed to me that was a count of three for sure.
-And here he comes, now… -[King] Oh, no!
-[all exclaiming] -[Vince] And Owen Hart is in some trouble.
Davey Boy Smith The British Bulldog
knows what it's like to be a champion!
[crowd chanting] USA! USA! USA!
[Vince] Listen to this!
[crowd chanting] USA! USA! USA!
[Vince] The British Bulldog must tag his partner, Lex Luger.
And Owen Hart reaching towards Yokozuna,
makes the tag!
The British Bulldog coming closer, closer, closer, and…
[all exclaiming]
[King] Look out!
[Vince] Luger in the house, on fire!
Luger off the rope! Clothesline.
Luger connecting. Oh, my goodness!
Lex Luger! Look at this!
Owen Hart comes in the ring all right, the hard way!
Luger with that forearm.
Remember now, look at this! Oh, no!
-[King] Look at that! -[all exclaiming]
-I can't believe it. -[Vince] Double clothesline!
Another one!
[King] We're gonna see new champions, I can't believe it.
[Vince] Luger covering. This could do it, and… Yes! No.
Owen Hart there.
And look at this. The official is losing control
in this Tag Team Championship matchup.
It's all right to have a little latitude in terms of a title
when it's up for grabs like this, but not this much.
[King] Get The Bulldog out of there.
He doesn't even belong in the ring. He hasn't been tagged in.
[Vince] Look out, here comes Yokozuna!
No! Now is the time!
-Now, get him down! -[King] No, no, no! They can't!
[Vince] Unbelievable!
[King] This whole building just shook!
The ring is shaking, the building is shaking!
Owen Hart from the other side!
Oh, no.
That was the opportunity.
But Yokozuna, and… No, no, no!
A cover! One, two…
-I can't believe it. -[bell dings]
[Yokozuna's theme music plays]
[Vince] A gallant effort on the part
of the Allied Powers.
And Jim Cornette, the American spokesperson,
along with the manager, Mr. Fuji,
gleefully exclaiming victory here. Yes, look at this.
They still are WWE Tag Team champions.
An unbelievable effort on the part of the Allied Powers.
[King] They may be the greatest tag team
in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment, McMahon.
What a match! Unbelievable.
[Vince] The WWE Superstar line, ladies and gentlemen, remind you again,
up and running, yes,
where you're hearing the winners and the losers
hearing from both of them speaking the same time.
In the States, 1-900-737-####.
$1.49 per minute.
You must be 18 years of age
or have your parents' permission before calling.
After every match.
Although Shawn Michaels is standing by.
Yes, his comments were recorded earlier on, ladies and gentlemen.
I guess Double J just couldn't stand the heat, huh?
[King laughs] It's not funny.
[Shawn speaking indistinctly]
[Vince] Shawn Michaels, ladies and gentlemen, with words of wisdom
1-900-737-####.
You can hear from the winners and the losers
all the way through the entire evening.
And, uh, I think, right now we have lumberjacks
making their way, yes. Here they come!
We're ready for the World Wrestling Entertainment Championship matchup.
Let's take you back now.
Take a little look at what led up to this extraordinary Lumberjack matchup.
The title's up for grabs.
[Pettengill] We first saw evidence of Sycho Sid's cowardly behavior
back in April.
Sid, then bodyguard of the Heartbreak Kid
obediently backed down from Shawn Michaels' reprimand.
However, as soon as Shawn turned his back on the towering monster,
Sid sprang into action.
Powerbombing the defenseless Shawn Michaels
over and over again.
Now, fortunately, WWE Champion Diesel was on hand.
As Big Daddy Cool went to his fallen friend's aid,
you'll see here Sid go out of the squared circle,
and then in a show of cowardice, out of the arena.
Demanding a face-to-face encounter, WWE Champion Diesel
put his title on the line to entice Sid into the ring
at the first ever In Your House back in May.
Watch the stare down between the two tallest men
in World Wrestling Entertainment.
They were both eye to eye, and then the action!
Although Sid severely injured Big Daddy's elbow,
first, with that massive chokeslam,
and then his signature power slam.
Unbelievably enough,
Big Daddy Cool Diesel able to kick out right here,
and then deliver his own Jackknife on Sycho Sid.
As the referee began the count,
you'll see Tatanka ends the match by disqualification,
robbing the champion of a clean victory.
It wasn't until Bam Bam Bigelow came into the ring
and cleared house for his friend Big Daddy Cool Diesel
that order was restored
and The Corporation left.
Now, folks, Diesel's injured elbow was operated on
by world renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews.
And all through that long, painful rehabilitation
Diesel though of only one thing, and that was revenge.
His opportunity came at the King of the Ring,
when he teamed up with Bam Bam Bigelow
to face Sid and Tatanka.
Diesel Jackknifed Tatanka,
but as you see here, picked him up.
He wasn't satisfied.
He pointed at Sid and wanted him.
And, once again, Sid backed down from the challenge,
abandoning his partner Tatanka,
and not facing Big Daddy Cool.
Now, let's take you back to last Monday night on RAW.
Sid, with the support of the best lumberjacks money can buy,
actually had the guts to approach Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
However, when Diesel was surrounded by his friends
and, of course, the jam-packed crowd supporting Big Daddy Cool Diesel
and his lumberjacks,
again, you'll see Sid back down.
Oh, he talks to Big Daddy Cool,
he threatens him, he says he wants him.
But you will not see Sycho Sid step into the squared circle.
Again, is it cowardice or not?
You make the call, folks.
Sid backed away from Big Daddy Cool.
However, tonight, that will not happen.
There's nowhere to run. There's nowhere to hide.
We'll have a winner tonight!
[Vince] There's no question about that.
And there's a look at some of that humanity.
Some of that beef, if you will, ladies and gentlemen, yes.
Lot of lumberjacks out there.
They don't look too, uh, Diesel-friendly either.
And here comes, however, a number of lumberjacks
that are gonna be in Diesel's side of the ring, yes.
Bam Bam Bigelow along with a host of others! The Bad Guy!
Standing by right now, however,
we have Todd Pettengill, ladies and gentlemen,
with the World Wrestling Entertainment champion.
Vince, thank you very much.
It's a match that Big Daddy Cool Diesel has asked for.
The Lumberjack Match for the World Wrestling Entertainment Championship.
Fifteen of your guys, fifteen of his guys.
Nowhere for him to run, nowhere for you to run.
This is what it's all about right now.
You know something, Todd,
I don't think Big Daddy Cool's had a problem with me running anywhere.
You know? Welcome to the asylum, Sid.
Welcome to Big Daddy Cool's world.
Tonight, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
You been talking, you been starting this when you attacked Shawn Michaels,
you carried out with Razor Ramon.
Tonight, In Your House,
Big Daddy Cool in your face.
I finish this once and for all.
Big Daddy Cool Diesel and Sycho Sid, the Lumberjack Match
for the World Wrestling Entertainment Championship.
The lumberjacks are on their way to the squared circle.
-[Vince] That is so… Oh! -[King] Whoa!
[Vince] Yes, and, uh…
A number of individuals here in Nashville. Some creatures of the night.
Undertaker fans about the ringside area.
And… Uh-oh, is that a bad omen?
Could it be…
Could it be that Sid
will become the World Wrestling Entertainment champion
here tonight In Your House.
[King] Oh, it could be, McMahon. It could well be.
Three hundred and thirteen pounds of Sycho Sid.
But, there are 4838 pounds
of lumberjacks of his around the ring.
What about that?
[Vince] Well, there's no telling what's gonna happen, that's for sure.
except that we will see, finally, a victor here.
Either Sycho Sid or WWE Champion Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
[King] You know, you just saw Ted DiBiase.
The question is not
which one of Diesel's lumberjacks has DiBiase bought off.
The question is how many has he bought off?
[Vince] No telling what's gonna happen. But wait a minute…
-[Diesel's theme music plays] -[Vince] Here we go!
[announcer] From Detroit, Michigan, and led to the ring…
[Vince] Wait a minute, here they come.
[announcer] …weighing 317 pounds…
[Vince] There you go! Two dudes with attitude!
Shawn Michaels, the new Intercontinental Champion
and Diesel-- his prediction came true.
Listen to this response for the champion!
Yeah! High-fives!
Big Daddy Cool Diesel has come to Music City, USA
to end this thing once and for all
with Sycho Sid In Your House!
And this man exudes confidence.
[King] You think so, McMahon?
I think he's a little worried.
As a matter of fact, I think he's showing his super…
I think he got Shawn Michaels there
just as sort of like a good luck charm.
Because Michaels was so lucky earlier--
[Vince] Wait a minute! Look at this. Sycho Sid going right away.
Look at this. Sycho Sid hammering away on the WWE Champion.
And Diesel turning it right back around.
A series of forearms, Sycho Sid now being hammered
by the WWE Champion who's just still on him.
Body-- straight to the outside.
Wait a minute.
Sid thrown back in by Bam Bam Bigelow and a host of others.
And Sid doesn't like it.
That's too bad.
My goodness! And he's right back out there again.
And thrown right back into the ring again.
And there's nowhere to run, how about that?
And a big body slam coming up!
The champ makes him think about it and down to the canvas.
[King] That's 313 pounds.
[Vince] And look at this. Sid backs up, and some…
friendly… in the friendly camp here.
[overlapping conversation]
[Vince] And Diesel wants him back in.
And Sycho Sid on the outside
being consoled by a number of his friends.
And then over to The Million Dollar Team.
[overlapping conversation]
[Vince] All right, come on. Let's get him back in there, ref.
[King] Well, see, that's the way
you're supposed to just help the guy back into the ring.
Those other idiots were manhandling Sid.
[Vince] Oh, no! Wait a minute, did you see that?
-[King] Look at that! -[Vince] No!
Look what they're doing. Look what they're doing to Diesel.
-Shawn Michaels! -[all exclaiming]
Quite a melee going on here!
Nonetheless, it's the WWE Champion underneath all that humanity.
Diesel has been pummeled. Now he's trying to get back up.
And Diesel thrown back in.
And you have to wonder about the ribs
of the WWE Champion Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
Wait a minute, a cover. Is it over now?
-One, two… -[overlapping conversation]
[King] I've said before that's nearly 5000 pounds…
pounds of lumberjacks there on Sid's side,
and he was underneath all of them.
Wow, right in the face with that foot.
[crowd chanting] Diesel! Diesel! Diesel!
[Vince] And listen to this capacity crowd!
[crowd chanting] Diesel! Diesel! Diesel!
[Vince] The partisan crowd here in Nashville
rooting for the WWE Champion Big Daddy Cool Diesel
who was pummeled on the outside.
[King] I don't think he'll be too anxious to head back out there again.
[Vince] And again to the rib area.
You have to wonder whether or not
the WWE Champion Big Daddy Cool Diesel is really 100% ready for this matchup
considering the elbow injury,
of course, sustained by Sycho Sid earlier on.
And, look at this! Oh, what a clothesline, and down he goes.
[King] Sid needs to go to work on that arm right now.
Better yet, he needs to throw him back outside.
[King laughs]
[Vince] And Sycho Sid, at the moment,
in complete control.
Look, he's looking down at Shawn Michaels.
[King] Yeah, did you just see Shawn Michaels run around there
and just fly into all of those guys?
[Vince] Yes, I did, and with reckless abandon.
And I think Comet just got in a cheap shot.
Wait a minute, look at this! Kama! IRS!
Oh, they close in. Look at this!
King Kong Bundy!
The Dumpster trying to help out.
[King] You gotta admit… You gotta admit Diesel's head is outside the ring.
[Vince] The WWE Champion on his feet for just a moment.
Not for long at all.
And obviously, Sycho Sid is taking full advantage
of his friends on the outside.
And… Oh, what a big boot.
Sid has been outside twice.
Thrown back in, actually, three times already.
Then he fell into friendly hands.
The WWE Champion was pummeled on the outside
mostly by The Million Dollar Team. It was a right hand block!
[crowd cheering]
[Vince] Another block!
And Big Daddy Cool pouring it on. Can he turn the match around?
A clothesline, down he goes!
And Sid obviously can't take it
as well as he can dish it out, and…
[all exclaiming]
That should end any debate about the elbow.
And now, Diesel now.
Yes! Drops it again!
[King] That elbow must be all right. He's using it enough.
[Vince] Are we gonna see the Jackknife?
-Wait a minute! -[King] What in the world!?
[Vince] I've never seen anything like that before!
The WWE Champion getting even.
He jumped to the outside. Look at him.
Diesel on the outside.
And he just went over the top.
[King] He just went nuts is what he did.
[Vince] That was a seven foot heat-seeking missile to the outside
getting even with some of those lumberjacks
for what they did to him earlier on.
And Sycho Sid will get no sympathy here!
[all exclaiming]
[Vince] Sid on his feet. Not for long! Uh-oh.
[all exclaiming]
[Nash] How does that feel, jerk face?
[Vince] Oh, yeah!
The Dumpster, Man Mountain Rock,
a lot of friends of the WWE Champion.
Big Daddy Cool with a clothesline to no avail.
Off the rope and… Wait a minute.
Mabel! Mabel!
Mabel! Look at this!
[all exclaiming]
[Vince] Mabel just squashed WWE Champion Diesel
against the ring post.
Mabel over 500 pounds.
-Mabel-- -[King] That's "King Mabel" to you.
He's showing you why he's the king right now.
[Vince] Wait a minute. What's he doing now?
And he slams him on the outside!
Mabel peering down.
This place is going bananas.
Mabel… No, no, no!
Mabel just dropped a leg across the entire head
of the WWE Champion Diesel.
[King] Roll him back inside.
Roll him back in and let Sid pin him.
[Vince] Mabel the King of the Ring.
[King] There's a battle royal going on outside the ring.
[Vince] Tremendous damage to the WWE Champion Diesel.
There's mayhem all the way around the ring on all sides.
Oh, no!
Mabel…
And now, Diesel can be pinned.
[crowd chanting] Diesel! Diesel! Diesel!
Sid jamming the boot to the mid-section.
Look at that… Come on! Get in there, ref. Come on!
How much punishment can a champion take?
[King] That's what I like about Sid--
he's not content to just pin him,
he wants to pour on the punishment.
[Vince] Mabel…
Mabel was really pouring it on. We'll take you back
and show you another double feature.
An uppercut by Sid.
We'll keep the live action on the right side of your screen.
Look at Mabel on the left side.
[King] Crushed him right into the turnbuckle.
[Vince] And then from there, he dropped a leg on him.
A cover! This is it! Two… No!
No! So close.
Sid jamming that knee into the back,
and rearing back with all of his might
on the chin of the WWE Champion.
Diesel, somehow, able to kick out of that cover.
A few minutes ago, and again. Listen to this.
[crowd chanting] Diesel! Diesel! Diesel!
Sycho Sid sets-- Here we go, for a powerbomb.
If he cinch it in, it'll be all over.
He's set to powerbomb the champion, and…
He does! He does!
[King] There went the arm again. There went the arm again.
[Vince] Sid's a champion!
Sid being high-fived!
[King laughs] The victory celebration's already started.
[Vince] Sycho Sid!
And now for the cover, and…
Hold your breath. One, two…
-No! No! -[crowd cheering]
Once again, the WWE Champion Diesel
has kicked out of the power bomb of Sycho Sid.
-[King] Another one! -[Vince] I know.
Back drop!
Bam Bam and the friends
of the WWE Champion extorting Diesel to make a move.
Diesel kicking out of Sid's power bomb.
And now, wait a minute. What's he doing?
-What was that about? -[King] What is he doing?
[Vince] Sycho Sid right outside!
He jumped right out as well!
Shawn Michaels. Shawn from the top!
[King] Shawn Michaels jumped right on him from the top rope.
No fair!
[Vince] Anything can happen here at World Wrestling Entertainment!
WWE Champion Diesel is on his feet!
Yeah, here we go! The Jackknife!
Wait a minute, no. IRS comes in.
Godwinn flying to the outside.
WWE Champion Diesel…
is all over The Million Dollar Corporation!
Wait a minute. Off the rope now.
[all exclaiming]
A cover! One, two…
-Yes! -[all exclaiming]
[bell dings]
[Diesel's theme music plays]
[announcer] The winner of the match
and still the World Wrestling Entertainment champion,
Big Daddy Cool Diesel!
[Vince] The WWE Champion! Look, he wants to get at Mabel,
and vice-versa.
Big Daddy Cool Diesel, ladies and gentlemen,
has successfully defended
the World Wrestling Entertainment championship
and put an end, once and for all,
to this rivalry with Sycho Sid.
What a tremendous Lumberjack Match!
That's what it's all about.
And what a sweet song of victory
Big Daddy Cool is hearing live tonight
from Music City, USA!
[King] I can assure you this,
he has not heard the last of King Mabel.
[Vince] Nonetheless, WWE Champion Big Daddy Cool the victor here,
live, In Your House!
And I'll tell you this, there's a celebration going on here
not just down at Music Row
but all over the place.
Yes, and who's in the spotlight?
Who's In Your House? The WWE!
So long, everybody. From ringside, Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler.
