[WWE intro music]
[Cole] …And Stone Cold hammered away on the boss.
Mr. McMahon crawled under the bottom rope and now Austin's in berserk.
That's the-- that's the ladies' room, King.
[Lawler] Get out, Mr. McMahon, that's the ladies room.
[Cole] It was a trap.
The Corporate Team has ambushed Stone Cold.
Stone Cold looks to be unconscious on the floor.
[McMahon] I accomplished what I wanted to accomplish.
Stone Cold was taken away in an ambulance and he's not coming back.
[Lawler] Mr. McMahon, Austin's back. He's driving the ambulance.
It's down to McMahon and Austin.
-[Cole] It's down to McMahon and Austin. -[Lawler] Oh, no. Oh, no. Stunner.
[Cole] Here comes Rock.
The Rock is just taunting Austin.
[Lawler] Wait a minute. Look at that. Wait a minute, no.
-[bell ringing] -No. Mr. McMahon
has eliminated the Rattlesnake,
thanks to The Rock and Austin is livid.
[Cole] This is without a doubt the greatest night
in the history of the World Wrestling Entertainment.

[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Hello everybody. Welcome to RAW is War.
We are live in the America West Arena in Phoenix, Arizona.
The Corporation proudly presents
the winner of The 1999 Royal Rumble,
Vincent K. McMahon.
[Lawler] Oh, yeah.
[rock music playing]
[Cole] I'll tell you what, King,
Mr. McMahon winning the Royal Rumble match last night
was perhaps a bigger upset than anything in the history.
I mean, even bigger than The Jets winning Super Bowl III.
[Lawler] I'm telling you, it was huge.
It was bigger than McGwire hitting 70 home runs.
It was the biggest thing-- I mean, I'm telling you--
Even you, Michael Cole, you've-- You've lost your voice.
You were-- You've got to admit, you were screaming at the top of your lungs.
You couldn't believe it. Mr. McMahon, the winner of The 1999 Royal Rumble.
What could be greater?
[Cole] I don't think I've lost my voice 'cause I was cheering for this.
I was cheering because it was perhaps, the greatest Royal Rumble ever,
and what a night for The Corporate Team.
Ken Shamrock, the Big Boss Man, picking up victory,
The Rock winning the WWE Championship over Mankind.
But the shocker of them all,
Mr. McMahon winning the Royal Rumble match.
-[Lawler] Look at this. -Look at this.
[crowd booing]
[Lawler] They may pour Gatorade over his head in a minute.
[Cole] "Stone Cold" Steve Austin was screwed again
by the McMahons and the corporate team.
[Lawler] Hey listen, Mr. McMahon told everybody,
it shouldn't been no shock. He said there was no chance in hell and there wasn't.
-I'm going to WrestleMania. -[Lawler giggling]
[Cole] By winning the Rumble match, Stone--
Mr. McMahon gets a shot at the WWE Champion.
I came,
I saw, I kicked Stone Cold's ass.
-[Lawler chuckling] -[crowd booing]
[Lawler] Rubble in it, Mr. McMahon.
However, I wasn't the only total and absolute victor at the Royal Rumble.
There was someone else.
Someone who made Mankind say-- no, no.
Someone who made Mankind scream, "I quit. I quit."
Give it up for the new WWE Champion.
Give it up for The Rock.
-[crowd booing] -[Cole] Yes.
King, I still cannot believe that Mankind, Mick Foley,
-uttered those two words, "I quit." -[Lawler] Just shut up and clap.
[Mr. McMahon] Just to show my appreciation, Rock,
I want to let you know that since you personally came down to ringside,
right there during the Royal Rumble match,
and you personally saw me throw "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
singlehandedly over the top.
You know that bounty I was talking about?
You know what I'm gonna do for you to show my appreciation?
Tonight, Rock,
the $100,000 from Shane McMahon's trust fund
is going to go to you in cash.
-[Lawler] Whoa. A hundred-- -[Cole] Oh, please. It's dirty money.
[Lawler] A hundred grand in cash.
Wow. That just shows you what a generous man McMahon is.
A well-informed source told me you didn't get much rest last night.
[crowd chanting] Asshole. Asshole.
A well-informed source…
[crowd chanting]
[Lawler] Here's goes that chant again.
[Cole] Listen to the crowd in America West Arena.
-The truth hurts, King. -[Lawler] Tell him to shut up, Michael.
[crowd chanting]
I know you were out celebrating all night
but I was told once you went to bed last night
and you took that WWE title and you laid it here on the side,
I was told all of a sudden,
you pulled the covers up and you sat right up in a cold sweat
because it dawned on you,
"Oh, my god, that means I'm going to WrestleMania
but that means I have to defend the WWE title against Vince McMahon."
[crowd booing]
[Cole] The Rock takes the belt to bed with him.
[Lawler] Wouldn't you?
So Rock,
I don't want you to be intimidated.
-[Cole] Oh, please. -I don't want you to have to live
with that kind of weight on your shoulders.
So therefore,
last night I signed it, and I filed it this morning,
papers that indeed removes me as the number one contender.
[Lawler] What?
I waived all rights and privileges
as the number one contender
to face you at WrestleMania. However…
However,
I reserve the right at the appropriate time
to singlehandedly name the person
that you will be facing at WrestleMania.
[Cole] Is Mr. McMahon yellow?
-[rock mouthing indistinctly] -[Lawler] What do you mean?
Another magnanimous move on the part of Mr. McMahon.
Now, Austin--
Stone Cold, I told you, there was no chance in hell
of you winning the Royal Rumble.
[Lawler] I love to hear him say that. That is so great. Say it again.
[crowd booing]
And quite frankly Austin,
as far as I'm concerned,
you will never, ever again
step into the ring with the WWE Champion
much less myself
because you know what Stone Cold,
you've simply run out of chances, Austin.
[Lawler] Good.
[Austin] Hey, Jackass, look over the big screen. I'm up here.
-[Cole] Hey. -[Lawler] What?
[crowd cheering]
[stutters]
[indistinct] Look at me, you sorry son of a bitch.
You're up where? Where are you?
I'm in Texas.
Oh, okay. You're in Texas, I'm in Arizona.
That makes sense to me because I'm sure
that you've been humiliated.
I'm sure you can't even come out of your house.
I'm sure people are coming up to you and saying,
"Hey, aren't you the guy--
Aren't you the guy that Vince McMahon threw over the top rope?"
[Lawler chuckling] Yes.
[Cole] I doubt it.
Yeah, I think that says it all. I'd say it's fine, Vince.
But I'll tell you this.
I'm going to WrestleMania.
-[Cole] What? Oh, I guess as a fan… -[crowd cheering]
You mean-- You mean you're gonna buy a ticket to go to WrestleMania?
No, you dumb son of a bitch,
I'm telling you I'm going to WrestleMania to face the Champion.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] What?
Uh, no.
Well, you must be chewing on some loco weed or something down there in Texas.
[Lawler] Yeah.
I have no idea-- I mean…
What-- What are you saying?
I don't know what you're talking about,
all those loco weed, all that crap you're talking about.
I'm telling you right now in English.
Read my lips if you've got a hard time hearing what I'm saying.
I'm going to WrestleMania to wrestle the Champion.
I'm telling you that but not just me telling you that,
the guy right beside me is telling you the same damn thing.
-[Lawler] What? -[Cole] It's the commissioner.
Commissioner Shawn Michaels is with Austin.
Hey, Vin man.
And you got to admit,
I'm healing damn well, aren't I?
-[Lawler] I can't believe it. -Stone Cold,
mi casa, su casa.
And I'm sure everybody is wondering
what old Stone Cold is doing in my home.
Now, Steve doesn't need protection
but in fact that's what I'm gonna give him anyway.
I'm gonna protect Steve from Vince McMahon and The Corporation.
But more importantly,
what I'm doing
is protecting "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
from himself because Vince,
you know as well as I do,
if Steve was in that building tonight,
he'd open a can of whoop ass on you, the likes of which you have never seen.
-[crowd cheering] -[Cole] No doubt about it.
Now, Vince.
It's my understanding that
you filed papers giving up your right to go to WrestleMania
against the WWE Champion.
I also understand that you plan on appointing a replacement
to go to WrestleMania.
Well, Vinnie my friend,
that just ain't gonna happen as long as the Heartbreak Kid
is the commissioner of the World Wrestling Entertainment.
-[Cole] And he still is the commissioner. -[Lawler] What's he talking about?
Now Stone Cold and I have been reading over the WWE rule book.
-[Lawler] What? That's not the-- -Oh! Pardon that.
The-- The official one, it's--
It's here somewhere.
And it says,
that if the winner of the Royal Rumble
either is unable
or unwilling to go to WrestleMania to fight the Champion,
then the runner-up
-gets all rights and privileges. -[Lawler] What?
What? Stone Cold is going to WrestleMania
-because Mr. McMahon-- -[Michaels] Just what I'm telling you
is this.
Last night, when you filed those papers,
you checked yourself out of the main event at WrestleMania
and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin has been checked in.
[Cole] A rule technicality has sunk, Mr. McMahon.
[Lawler] This is not right.
[Cole] Not right? It's the rule.
[Lawler] This is an impeachable offense, Michael.
[Cole] The bottom line is that's what the rule book states.
[Lawler] Mr. McMahon's speechless. Think of something.
-I don't know what to say. -[Cole] I wish you were speechless.
[crowd chanting] Austin! Austin! Austin!
[Cole] Rock, Austin at WrestleMania.
[Austin] Vince, I'll tell you what.
I'm sure I scrambled your brain with that chair the other night
but I don't want you to get your panties all in a ruffle just yet.
because I got a proposition for you. What I'll do is this.
I would love to have the World Wrestling Entertainment title
back on my shoulder once again
and that's the bottom line, and that for dam sure is the truth.
But I'll tell you this.
I think I might want to beat the living hell out of you
-even more than I want that title. -[Lawler] What?
So get your ass in the ring.
Before that, on Valentine's Day, what I will do is,
I will put up my right
for the WWE title at WrestleMania
if you will face me in a match.
[Lawler] Wait a minute. Wow.
If I lose that match,
well then that means I lose the right to face the Champ at WrestleMania.
After the humiliation you suffered last night,
you want some more of me?
-[Lawler] Damn straight. -[Cole] Shut up.
Let me just tell you this.
At any moment, last night,
I could have thrown your ass over the top ropes, since it--
It was stupid on my part-- I made the big mistake
and then Rocky brought his square headed ass,
square headed ass out there,
and it was a bunch of BS off from the start.
I screwed up and it ain't gonna happen again.
On your best day, Vince, on your best day,
you can't lace one of my boots and that's the damn truth.
Well, you got me interested, okay? I'm interested, go ahead.
Well, what it seems to me is, what you do best
is run.
So that's the kind of match I want this to be.
I don't want it to be any kind of wrestling match
'cause I could beat you any day of the week.
So what I suggest we do is, we wrestle in a cage match.
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Whoa.
[Austin] You and me in a cage.
-[Cole] Wait a minute. -You ain't got to pin me,
you ain't got to make me submit,
all you got to do is run around that damn ring long enough
and if you'd beat me out over the top and on the ground,
well that means you win.
[McMahon] Uh…
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
[Austin] That's your specialty, Vince. You're a chicken.
You run, that's what you do.
Let me think about it for a minute, wait a minute.
You can take all time of the world, you son of a bitch.
[indistinct chatter]
[Cole] There's no way The Corporate Team can let Mr. McMahon get away with it.
All you got to do Vince is get over the damn cage, what do you say?
You and me, WrestleMania title shot on the line.
You will never ever see Stone Cold-- Get me another beer.
You will never ever see "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in another title match.
That's what we got at stake on Valentine's Day.
if you got the damn guts, or let me say this,
if you got the balls to do it, give me a damn answer.
Alright, Austin, you're on. You got your match.
-[Lawler] No. -[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Mr. McMahon is crazy.
[Austin] Then let me tell you this.
Let me tell you this, you dumb son of a bitch,
I will guarantee,
there's that famous word again.
I will guarantee you,
I will guarantee the world
that I will beat your ass
all over that damn cage.
I will walk right over your limp, bloody carcass
and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will walk
right into WrestleMania to face The Rock.
And if I can't beat that son of a bitch,
I should never wrestle in the first place and that's the bottom line
because Stone Cold said so.
[Stone Cold theme music playing]
[Cole] King, Mr. McMahon has allowed his ego to again,
get the best of it. He has no chance in less than three weeks
in a steel cage against the Texas Rattlesnake
at St. Valentine's Day massacre.
I'm a little worried about this.
Even though it's in my own hometown in Memphis, Tennessee
at The Pyramid which is already sold out,
now, Stone Cold I'm telling you,
he must have a brewing toot too many.
How did he come up with some kind of devious plan like this?
And how did he suck in Mr. McMahon into going for it?
At the Royal Rumble match, it was luck that Mr. McMahon won.
He has no chance in a steel cage against Austin.
What else is gonna happen tonight on RAW?
The Tag Team Championship is on the line.
Jeff Jarrett and Owen Hart, the number one contenders,
will take on Ken Shamrock and The Big Boss Man.
[Lawler] Oh, that's-- I'm telling you,
Mr. McMahon looks a little confident right now.
There's a little bit of a smile on his face.
I tell you, we've not heard the last of this tonight.
-He'll come up with something. -[Cole] He hopes.
[Cole] We're back on RAW is War and this is now a live shot
at the sold-out America West Arena and…
[Lawler] Oh, you know what, that's an armored--
An armored car driving up, an armored truck.
[Cole] Yeah.
[Lawler] They got to be delivering the money for Mr. McMahon.
This is gonna be great.
That's got to be the hundred thousand dollars cash now.
We're talking cash that he's gonna deliver to The Rock.
[Cole] He said The Rock would get a hundred grand
for helping him with Stone Cold,
thrown him over the top rope in the Rumble match last night.
[Lawler] And Mr. McMahon always keeps his word.
You can believe what he says.
[Chimel] The following contest is scheduled for one fall
in a 20-minute time limit.
Making his way to the ring from Hollywood, California,
weighing in at 260 pounds,
Goldust.
[Cole] Here comes one of the most bizarre individuals in the history of the WWE.
Goldust is set for action here on RAW.
And he was involved in that tremendous Rumble match last night.
Thirty participants, Mr. McMahon, the last man standing,
and obviously, a fluke.
But Mr. McMahon has a lot more things to worry about now.
[Lawler] Look at Goldust's face.
This guy's a former Intercontinental Champion
but he's filthy as a bed bug.
[Cole] Why does Goldust do the things that he does?
[Lawler] Who cares?
-I think… -[Cole] Western Union money transfer
presents St. Valentine's Day Massacre In your house,
and it happens in just under three weeks from the sold-out Pyramid
-in Memphis, Tennessee. -[Lawler] Yeah.
Western Union money transfer,
the fastest way to send money worldwide.
-[Badd Ass theme music playing] -[crowd cheering]
♪ Oh, you didn't know? ♪
♪ Your ass better call somebody ♪
[Cole] "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn
being led to the ring by Triple H and Chyna.
What a valiant and courageous effort last night at the Royal Rumble match.
Billy Gunn almost won the Intercontinental Championship
before rolling his ankle.
Reinjuring an ankle injured by Ken Shamrock last week on RAW.
And it was so courageous, King, that later on the evening,
he returned in the Royal Rumble match itself.
He didn't have a shoe. His ankle was taped.
And he stayed in the ring for an extraordinary amount of time.
[Lawler] Well, you can call it courage. I call it stupidity.
And this is even more stupid for him to be here tonight
with that obviously injured ankle.
[Cole] "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn, in some people's opinion,
may be the best pure athlete in the WWE today.
And he's got Singles Competition tonight against Goldust.
And on a sore ankle, this one will not be easy.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Billy Gunn in the locker room earlier on,
having that ankle taped up.
But he said he's ready for action tonight.
Now, I know what you people want to hear but you're not gonna get it tonight
because I got some business to take care of.
[crowd chattering]
Rocky!
Since last night,
I've been listening to you in the back running your mouth
about making people say, "I quit."
Well, Rock,
I doubt
you made Mankind say, "I quit."
And I damn sure know you can't make me say it.
[Lawler] What?
[crowd cheering]
So, Rock,
Here's the proposition.
You and me tonight right here,
-in this ring. -[Lawler] Wait a minute.
[Triple H] I Quit Match.
-[Cole] Wow. -[Lawler] Wait a minute now.
[Cole] Triple H and The Rock tonight.
-[Lawler] Wait, wait, wait. -And Rock.
I know how you think
and I'm a step ahead of you.
Bring that belt, Rock.
I know you know, last time you and I got in the ring to dance
and there was a belt on the line,
I walked out of MSG, five pounds heavier, carrying your gold.
[Cole] That was at SummerSlam this past August.
But Rock,
I'm asking you, once in your life, just one time,
be a man, Rock.
Put the belt on the line.
You and me,
I Quit rules,
for the WWE title.
[Lawler] No, wait.
-Wait! -Rock.
[crowd cheering]
This is your chance.
No guts, no glory.
And if you're not down with that,
I got two words for you,
-"Suck it." -[crowd] Suck it!
[Lawler] Now wait a minute Michael Cole, Triple H doesn't deserve a title match.
[Cole] Wait, here we go now.
Goldust, one-one-one action against Billy Gunn,
hammering away now on "BA" Billy Gunn.
Reversal, whipped into the ropes,
Billy Gunn, telegraphing that one, caught a right hand.
The Rock, a tremendous athlete, King,
but he also has a tremendous ego.
Will he accept this I Quit challenge from Triple H tonight?
[Lawler] I'm sure he will. He shouldn't but I'm sure he will
because The Rock could make anybody in the WWE say, "I quit."
He did it to Mankind. He can sure do it to Triple H.
[Cole] Goldust, quickly going for Shattered Dreams
and referee Mike Chioda jumps in front of him.
-[Lawler] Whoo! That took some, uh-- -[Cole] Oh!
[Lawler] Testicular fortitude to step in front of-- Oh, no.
[Cole] "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn, just moved Goldust and followed with a clothesline,
and there's another one.
[Lawler] And that stupid head saw the moon also.
What-- I don't even know what Goldust wants with that idiotic head
he stole from Al Snow. Whoa. Look at this.
-[Cole] Goldust, right out in front us. -[Lawler] Ow.
[Goldust theme music playing]
[Cole] What? What is this?
Wait a minute. What are they--
[Lawler] Why play Goldust's music? He's already out here.
[crowd cheering]
-Wait a minute. -[Cole] What in the hell is that?
-Hey, that's a-- -[Lawler] Wait. Wait a-- What is that?
[Cole] He's covered in blue.
[Goldust theme music continues]
[Lawler] What is going on?
Now, I don't know exactly
but I'll tell you this, that's bizarre right there.
Hey, look.
[Cole] A Goldust from behind rolls up "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn.
-[Lawler] Whoa. -And a kick-out by "BA" Billy Gunn.
Goldust counters.
[Lawler] I think Goldust is just-- Now, see, look at this.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Well, that blue thing just used the head to hit Goldust.
Hey, it's Bluedust.
That's Bluedust. Do you know who that is, King?
-[Lawler] Bluedust? -Pile driver!
Billy Gunn hooks the leg.
-[Lawler] Wait! -This one's over.
[Lawler] Wait a minute.
-[Cole] Bluedust has stolen the head. -[Chimel] Here's your winner…
[Lawler] You know who that is?
[Cole] From the JOB Squad.
[Lawler] That idiotic Blue Meanie?
[Cole] That's Blue Meanie. He came out.
[Lawler stutters] Goldust is wrestling,
and this-- and Bluedust comes down
and takes the gold head and hits Goldust,
and Blue-- I don't get it.
[Cole] The bottom line is,
it's Bluedust who came out and stole Al Snow's head back
for the leader of the JOB squad.
He's gonna reunite Al Snow and head.
[Lawler] Well, I'm telling you what-- Hey, wait a minute.
-Look at this. -[Cole] Mankind.
His head bandaged after that I Quit Match,
has entered the America West Arena.
[both hosts] What's he doing?
[Cole] He isn't scheduled for a match tonight, what else is gonna happen?
[Cole] And at the Royal Rumble match last night,
it was a first ever pay-per-view title defense for Mankind
in a first ever, I Quit Match.
[Lawler] Oye, and what a brutal match it was.
Mankind and The Rock used everything they could find
in the building on each other, including a ladder.
[Cole] That's right, King. They used that ladder to climb into the stands.
The Rock now in the background of your picture,
threw Mankind 12 feet to the floor
-through the electrical circuit board. -[Lawler] Wow!
I'm telling you. And then after that, it was unbelievable.
The Rock handcuffed Mankind, so that Mankind couldn't protect himself.
And then The Rock laid down the smack in a form of chair shots.
Chair shot after chair shot to the head of Mankind,
I stopped counting after ten, Michael.
[Cole] Those chair shots caused The Rock to get Mick Foley to utter two words
-we thought we'd never hear him say. -[Lawler] Yeah.
[Cole] "I quit."
And The Rock begins his second reign as the youngest WWE Champion in history.
We're back at the America West Arena.
The Oddities, the mythical WWE Tag Team Champions in the universe,
-in the ring set for action. -[Lawler] This is ridiculous.
This looks like the best of The Jerry Springer Show.
I've never seen such a bunch of freaks.
[Cole] What a night it has been thus far, folks.
We've learned that Mr. McMahon will take on--
♪ Do you smell what The Rock is cookin'? ♪
[Lawler] Wait a minute.
[Cole] Well, I don't think The Rock is scheduled
for a match against The Oddities.
And you know what?
[Lawler] The Rock is the WWE Champion. He can do whatever he wants.
[Cole] Well, folks, just moments ago,
Triple H challenged The Rock to an I Quit Match
for the WWE Championship just tonight on RAW.
The Rock, winning an I Quit Match at the Royal Rumble last night,
we just showed you high-- We showed you highlights defeating Mankind,
and what a brutal match that was.
[Lawler] Just take a look at The Rock.
Just gaze at him, it must be great to be The Rock.
I'm telling you, he is a Champion's Champion.
And he's got more important business than take care of this--
Worrying about Triple H here tonight.
He's got to come down here and collect $100,000
from Mr. McMahon. It's got to be great.
[crowd chattering]
Now, before The Rock
checks all four of you goofy asses in the SmackDown Hotel,
[crowd cheering]
show some respect for the WWE Champ,
hit the road before The Rock lays a smack down
on all four of your candy asses.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Uh-oh. Wait a minute now.
[Cole] Rock's outnumbered in there.
[Lawler] Yeah, but they're on-- Get out of the ring you idiots.
[crowd chattering]
[Cole] And The Oddities leaving to show respect for the WWE Champion
who begins his second reign tonight.
Not the brightest bunch but this is the smartest thing they've ever done.
You mean he bought that shirt in celebration of winning the Championship?
[crowd booing]
That's almost as bright-- Bright as what you wear.
[Lawler] That probably cost a grand or two.
You can chant your, "Rocky sucks," all you want.
But, finally the great one is the WWE Champ again.
[Lawler] And he wields a lot of power, Michael Cole,
lot of power being the WWE Champion.
Now, first order of business, Triple H,
you come out here and you run your mouth,
and you want to be a big shot,
you want to be like The Rock, but obviously you're not.
You come out here
and you make your little challenge as hell, I tell you what.
The Rock's got to set a, you know what, as big as this house,
and he plans on tonight,
going one-on-one
with your roody-poo candy ass.
Now, what The Rock wants you to do…
-[Lawler] Wait a minute now. -[Cole] Alright. Now, wait and shut up.
Now you talked about titles, AMSG.
First and foremost, Triple H, you never,
ever beat The Rock.
If it weren't for Chyna hitting The Rock in the people's jewels,
you never would have won the match.
[Lawler] That's right. He's telling the truth, Michael Cole.
Now, what The Rock plans on doing tonight,
is take in his big right hand,
his WWE Championship,
and beating your candy ass from pillar to post
in front of the thousands of Rock's fans here tonight.
[crowd cheering]
And in front of the millions
and millions of The Rock's fans watching live,
if you smell…
what The Rock
is cooking.
[Cole] So, tonight, King, the WWE Championship
-[Lawler] Championship on the line. -[Cole] Hey, listen, listen.
I can't find my sock anywhere can you look him up?
[Cole] Hey.
[grunting]
Mankind is attacking those security guards.
And that armored truck.
[Lawler] What is he doing?
That's assault and battery.
Wait a minute, this is- this is robbery.
Stop thief.
Call the cops.
[Cole] There's a hundred thousand dollars in that bag King.
That was The Rock's money.
[Lawler] That's- that's cash money.
[crowd murmuring]
[Cole] And I think he's coming out here.
[Lawler] Somebody give me the number to 911.
[Cole] And The Rock awfully upset.
The Rock, said that's my money.
[Lawler] Wait a minute.
Surely Mankind, is not bringing the money out here to The Rock, is he?
[Cole] Mankind is coming this way.
In America West Arena.
[Lawler] He should be in a hospital somewhere or a loony bin.
[Cole] What a credit to Mick Foley that he's walking out here tonight
after that brutal match at the Royal Rumble.
I'm sorry, King, this guy has no quit in him.
[Lawler] No he's not coming out here.
I think we lost him he probably he took a left turn.
So he's planning on spending that money himself.
[mouthing indistinctly]
Rock…
What?
[Mankind's theme playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Listen to this ovation.
For these thousands of fans
and the millions at home, Mick Foley is still champion.
Why don't we all give a nice round of applause to The Rock?
Because he's got my belt.
[crowd murmuring]
Hey, hey.
Well, while we're at it,
give me a hand too, because I've got his money.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Mankind has hundred thousand bucks in that bag.
[Lawler] You thief.
Well.
I gotta tell ya.
Your outfit looks terrible.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] He's giving it away.
He's giving away The Rock's money.
[Lawler] Wait a minute.
Hey, hey you wait your step.
You hold it right there.
This is for piano lessons.
[Lawler] Wait a minute that's,
that's from Shane's trust fund.
[Cole] Mick Foley is so terrible.
Oh you come one step further and I'll throw it all Rock.
I'll throw it all
[Cole] Look he pocketed some.
Nick Foley pocket some of The Rock's money.
[Lawler] Look at this.
Rock you gotta do something.
Mr. McMahon, look at this.
I'm going to give you credit where it's deserved.
After last night's match well.
I felt like I'd been hit in the head with a chair about,
11 times.
And I guess I had.
[crowd murmuring]
[Lawler] What?
Hundred thousand dollars
-in $10 bills, that would be-- -I thought that my head
had been split wide open and…
well, I guess it had.
[crowd murmuring]
[Lawler] This guy is nuts.
To tell you the truth, Rock,
I felt like I'd been damn near electrocuted,
and I guess I had.
But I also felt like something was very, very wrong.
You see, I may have been unconscious.
But I do not remember saying the words.
"I quit."
[Lawler] What's he saying?
[crowd cheering]
You hold it right there.
[mouthing indistinctly]
Which means either I've completely lost my mind…
[Lawler] A long time ago.
…or I never said those words at all.
So what we had, Rock was a little bit a mystery.
So what I did is I woke up early
with the help of a very talented production team I…
I think I've solved the mystery.
Let's start with Sunday night Heat
and a little verbal exchange with Shane McMahon.
You are sadly mistaken, you pretentious little twit.
You see, Mankind does not whimper.
But it will not be I, it it will be The Rock,
and he will be screaming the magic words "I quit."
"I quit, I quit!"
[Shane] Thank you very much for those kind words, Mick.
Now. What did Shane mean,
"Thank you very much for those words, Mick"?
Then we go to the match, don't we, Rock?
And no matter what you did.
You couldn't get me to say the words.
Let's take a look.
[Lawler] Michael, I heard him say it.
[Rock] Say, I quit now, you piece of monkey crap.
[grunting]
[Mick] Up yours, Rock.
You tell the great one
you quit.
[Foley] No, no.
No.
Say you quit your piece of trash?
[groaning]
[Foley] No!
[mic thuds]
Now you tell The Rock.
After the most electrifying move in sports entertainment today,
you quit.
[coughing]
Go to hell, Rock.
Say you quit.
[panting]
You have to kill me.
And then Rock.
Even though I was knocked unconscious, well, magically.
The two big words appeared, didn't they Rock?
Let's take a look I'm speaking pretty well for a guy who's unconscious.
Mankind,
your monkey ass says I quit.
[indistinct voice] I quit, I quit, I quit.
[crowd murmuring]
Now, what the hell, Rock?
You think these people are stupid?
Don't those words sound identical to the words I said on Heat?
[Cole] Absolutely.
So the way I look but it is.
You didn't make me say the words.
You didn't win the match.
And you sure as hell are not the champion.
[Cole] I knew it, King, I knew it. Mick Foley never said "I quit".
[Lawler] Wait a minute this is--
Oye.
[Lawler] I heard him say it.
[Cole] No.
[Lawler] Mick Foley should still be champion.
You take another step and I've got a real loose hand.
You see, Rock…
I've got an idea.
The way I see it…
there's going to be an awful lot of bored people.
Millions and millions of bored people
during halftime of the big game.
So what I'm saying.
What I'm asking.
What I'm demanding…
is you and me Rock.
in a rematch during halftime Heat.
[Cole] Whoa.
This Sunday, six days away.
[Lawler] Wait a minute.
But it's just not any rematch Rock, you see-
Don't get me wrong, Phoenix,
I dig all of you.
But during halftime, Heat- wait.
Rock…
I don't want any people in that arena.
You see, it's going to be you and me,
and 22,000 empty seats.
And one of us is gonna walk out the WWE Champion.
And the other one…
is gonna get his ass beaten all over an empty arena.
[Lawler] Don't do it, Rock.
So Rock…
you make up your mind and make it up real quick.
And hey, I'll give you the money back,
but you know what?
I think it's gonna be a couple dollars short because…
Mr. Socko…
is going to go a little spending spree.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Will Rock accept the challenge?
[Lawler] Look at this guy he's deranged--
He's demanded The Rock.
[Cole] Mick Foley should still be champion, King.
He should still be wearing the gold.
What you say, Rock?
[Rock] I'll tell you what, make no mistake about it.
One-on-one with The Great One halftime big game.
You got your shot, you cellulite piece of crap.
[Cole] The Rock has accepted the change.
[Lawler] No, this could be a setup Rock.
[Cole] Rock, Mankind.
…an empty arena on halftime Heat.
And Rock, have a nice day.
[Cole] Has Rock let his ego, get away from him again.
Rock Mankind in six days.
For the title at halftime Heat.
…can you see it?
-Can you see? -Can I see what?
What is that? What is that?
[inaudible]
…spit on, not resolved because it doesn't happen.
Get this place like the crown and everyone who's responsible.
Everyone is cannibal you too Jerry.
Okay, okay, Okay.
I got to go, I got to go, I got to go.
You stay right there, you too.
[Cole] That's Mideon from the Ministry of Darkness.
That he said that evil's coming again tonight.
Wow.
[Lawler] Well, here comes Droz now, set for one-on-one action.
[Droz theme playing]
[Cole] And I think Droz has something to say.
Get your function freaked out of the ring.
So I can kick your hairy ass all over it.
Yeah, you.
Come on.
Yeah, I kicked your hairy ass.
[Cole] He's got hair in there.
So Droz wants George "The Animal" Steele.
WWE Hall of Famer.
-The original Oddities against Droz. -[bell rings]
And I'll tell you what?
Speaking of odd, King, this Droz is odd.
[Lawler] I'm telling you, The Oddities have been thrown out of here all night.
I mean, look at this.
George… George "The Animal" Steele, who is uh…
I think he has an autographed copy of the Bible if I'm not mistaken.
But he's starting his match-up-- look.
He loves to bite those turnbuckle, he's biting on the Droz arm.
[Cole] The animal biting the left arm of the Droz.
I'll tell you what, the Droz though is a nut, he's a loose cannon.
He's got hair seeds all over his body.
[Lawler] Looks like he was mugged by a staple gun.
[Cole] All those tattoos.
[Lawler] Look at this.
[Cole] And there goes George "The Animal" Steele, his patented move.
Biting apart the turnbuckle.
Exposing it for his opponent.
But George Steele head first into that steel turnbuckle.
[Lawler] He made a big mistake there, no.
[Cole] And Droz…
[bell rings]
Has defeated George "The Animal" Steele.
[Lawler] Well and quite easily, I might add.
But "The Animal".
Steele is all fake when he…
Expose the turnbuckle.
Come on Droz, the match is over.
[Cole] Let him up here.
Droz has already won the match.
And now he's hammering away on a legend.
[Droz] Come on, very fast.
[Cole] I'm not a big George Steele fan.
But come on, have a little empathy for the old timer.
I mean, King, he's a legend in sports entertainment.
[Lawler] I know that.
[Cole] And here comes some officials now.
And Droz still hammering away.
And there goes referee Jimmy Korderas.
[Lawler] And referee Mike Chioda tossed away.
[Cole] Come on Droz.
[Lawler] Droz has snapped.
Wait a minute, here comes The Oddities.
Kurrgan, Golga and Droz heading for higher ground.
What has gotten into Droz?
Droz has snapped.
Droz just destroyed George "The Animal" Steele.
This is ridiculous.
[Cole] Welcome back to RAW everybody.
Apparently this exchange took place during the break.
You remember last time Debra got on ringside?
You can't concentrate on Debra.
You've got to concentrate on the match.
Therefore you've got to drink that, boss.
Now you've got to do it.
I got something for him right here.
-Come on. -Keep your concentration up.
-You got something else down. -Salt Peter?
Go ahead and drink it.
Do it for the corporation.
-Nothing else. -Drink it.
Come on, Kenny.
-Come on. Come on. -You need it, you need it.
Alright guys you're gonna kill him?
Are you sure this stuff will work?
Forget about Debra.
-Who drink it? -Drink it.
-Drink it up. -Forget about Debra.
-Oh this is bull. -Concentration up.
Forget about Debar.
Debra, rumor has it that the Big Boss Man and Ken Shamrock are on to you.
And that your antics may not be too successful here tonight.
Antics you know, honey, you're definitely underestimating me because see.
There's no man out there that can resist the temptation of Debra.
[giggles]
Hold on--hold on a second.
Because there's no woman that can resist Sexual Chocolate.
-Is that right? -You know, I see this purple
and this red can lead us to bed, if you know what I'm saying.
Well, you know what? I happen to have a really big, sweet teeth tonight, too.
Well baby, I got a lot of chocolate for you.
[music]
[bell rings]
[Tony] Following contest is scheduled for one fall with a 60-minute time limit.
And it is for the World Wrestling Entertainment
Tag Team Championship.
Introducing first making their to the ring.
A combined weight of 555 pounds.
They are the World Wrestling Entertainment tag team champs.
The Big Boss Man.
And the World's most dangerous man
Ken Shamrock.
[Cole] So the Big Boss Man and Ken Shamrock, the WWE tag team champions,
getting ready for this match with a--with saltpeter.
[Lawler] Right, what is soft Peter?
[Cole] It's not S-O-F-T.
It's salt.
Saltpeter.
[Lawler] And this is some stuff they used to give--
There was a time when they gave this to soldiers to retard their sex drive.
[Cole] Oh, I get it.
So that they won't be attracted to Debra outside the ring.
[Lawler] Right
[Tony] Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett.
[Cole] There come Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett number one contenders here
in the WWE, with the tag team championship on the line.
Escorted to the ring by the lovely, Debra, who was just hit on by Sexual Chocolate.
You know, Mark Henry will learn his lesson.
Well, folks, they're the hottest team in the WWE today.
Their role began two--three weeks ago when Debra distracted the Big Boss Man.
It was a non-title match on Sunday Night Heat.
And Jeff Jarrett took advantage.
[Lawler] Oh, yeah, he got the big one, two, three.
Once again, Debra was instrumental.
And then look at this, Debra was even showing off her charms to Chyna.
And in the background Owen did a number on the Road Dogg.
[Cole] And then Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett eight days ago on Heat.
With another big, big win over a great team.
A win over Gangrel and Edge of the Brood.
So three weeks in a row, three huge victories for Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett.
But I'll tell you, King, their going to have their hands full tonight
against the tag team champions Shamrock,
a tremendous speed, agility, Boss Man size and strength.
You put it all together.
You have a tag team, championship team.
[Lawler] Yeah, but,
you put Debra's huge assets together and you've got--
You got a major distraction, but…
[Cole] I guess that saltpeter working.
Boss Man wants nothing to do with the lovely Debra.
Hey.
I didn't realize stuff really did work, it does.
[Cole] And Boss Man now retaliates with the right hand.
[Lawler] How smart is The Corporation?
They've even come up with something to offset Debra's sex appeal.
[Cole] You have to admit, King,
Jeff Jarrett and Owen Hart are a tremendous team, but,
Debra has played a crucial role in these three big victories over past few weeks.
And Jeff Jarrett, now with an elbow to Boss Man.
That's a standing dropkick and Boss Man into the ropes.
Boss Man last night with a huge win
over the Road Dogg in a special challenge match at the Rumble.
And there's the inverted atomic drop and the power of Boss Man.
What a right hand.
[Lawler] Debra you better show him something else.
[Cole] Boss Man baseball slide.
Follows it up with the right hand.
I cannot wait tonight, King, for the corporate champion,
The Rock in an I Quit Match against Triple H.
I think The Rock is in over his head.
[Lawler] All I know is--oh my gosh,
I want to see The Rock get his $100,000 dollars.
-[Cole] Cover, kick-out. -[Lawler] What's left of it.
[Cole] Mankind was throwing the $100,000 dollars all over the arena
little earlier on.
[Lawler] Oh, what a maneuver by Jeff Jarrett.
[Cole] Jeff Jarrett tremendous veteran.
And here's another great veteran, Owen Hart.
And they make a great tag team.
And Owen Hart now goes to work
on the 300 pound Boss Man.
[Lawler] You know what I still can't believe?
That Idiot "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,
is once again the number one contender for the WWE title.
He's gonna face Mr. McMahon- oh.
in a cage match in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee
on Saint Valentine's Day Massacre.
[Cole] Mr. McMahon is lucky he won the Rumble match last night.
He ain't half--he has no chance in this cage.
He's in great shape.
But Stone Cold is going to be one-on-one with Mr. McMahon in a cage.
[Lawler] And you know the reason it's worth it,
because all Mr. McMahon's got to do is escape from that cage,
and then Austin's out of WrestleMania.
Look at this.
[Cole] Debra blowing kisses to Ken Shamrock and Shamrock…
[Lawler] I'm telling you, so far, this has been a massacre.
Debra's sexy diversion is not working.
Look at Shamrock, he's usually a major horn dog,
but I mean, he's not even paying any attention to Debra.
[Cole] Owen wiped off the rope ducks underneath kick by Shamrock.
And here's Owen with an enzuigiri.
And Owen Hart now, great maneuver.
Rolls over Shamrock hooks the leg.
We could have new champions if Shamrock gets that left shoulder up.
And the momentum--momentum has shifted this match-up.
But Shamrock counters.
Look at this now, a cover and a kick-out.
Great side Russian leg sweep by Ken Shamrock.
Who follows it up with a kick to the face.
[Lawler] Debra, you're gonna have to show more.
[crowd murmuring]
[Cole] King, you would only wish.
[Lawler] I didn't drink any of that saltpeter.
[Cole] Probably would probably take a whole gallon.
Shamrock with the right hand to Owen Hart.
Tag team titles are on the line.
Shamrock wiped into the ropes now.
Here's the tremendous slam.
Hook to the leg now.
There's two and a kick out again.
[Lawler] This match for the WWE tag team title--
Oh! Wow-wee.
[Cole] Spinning heel kick and Shamrock rocked.
[Lawler] We may have new champions coming up right now.
[Cole] Owen Hart now climbs to the top rope.
Shamrock trying to get to his feet.
Boss Man, shouting encouragement.
And Shamrock moves out of the way.
[Lawler] That's right, don't ever count out
the world's most dangerous man.
The corporation, certainly the corporation's most dangerous man.
Did you see the number he did?
[Cole] Debra on the apron, look at this.
[Lawler] Woo-woo.
-[Cole] King, sit down. -[Lawler] Man, oh, man.
[Cole] Wow!
[Lawler] Kenny, how can you resist?
[Cole] Well he did, belly to belly on Owen?
[yelling]
[Lawler] Look at this.
[Cole] Now Jeff Jarrett taking the shirt off of Debra.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Kenny look or don't look.
[Cole] Debra's in her lingerie.
[Lawler] Look at Boss Man.
I think it's maybe wearing him. I don't know.
[Cole] Shamrock ankle lock on Owen.
Ankle lock on Owen.
The ankle lock.
And Jeff Jarrett quickly into the ring and Boss Man retaliates.
And there goes Jarrett right out in front of us.
It was that ankle--hey. That--that--that.
That's the Blue Blazer.
With a guitar.
[Lawler] Look at that.
[Cole] He nailed Shamrock.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Boss Man look at this, Boss Man look.
[Cole] Cover.
The referee at position.
Shamrocks out cold.
[Lawler] Look at the ring Boss Man.
[Cole] We have new tag team champions.
[theme playing]
[Tony] Here are your winners and the new
World Wrestling Entertainment Tag team champions.
Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett.
[Cole] The Blue Blazers back.
But--but--but he didn't look anything like Owen Hart or Jeff Jarrett.
[Lawler] I mean it was a black and Blue Blazer.
It was a black man.
What?
[Cole] The Blue Blazer pick up their guitar and rock Shamrock.
And we have new tag team champions.
[Lawler] We got--
We've got two Blue Blazer.
One that came off of Debra and one that came into the ring.
And helped Jeff Jarrett and Owen Hart become the champion.
[music]
Jeff Jarrett Owen Hart congratulations.
The new WWE tag Team Champion.
You know what, I've finally been vindicated.
I said all along I'm not the Blue Blazer.
And now, tonight, it's proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that
I am not the Blue Blazer.
-We are champions. -That's exactly right, Owen.
But Kevin, the most important thing is, they pissed us off,
and we did what we said we were gonna do.
And that's become the new WWE tag team champions.
Enough is enough we did it.
[Cole] Shamrock is going nuts at ringside.
Maybe The Rock's gonna lose his title tonight, too.
He has Triple H in an I Quit Match tonight in the war zone.
[Lawler] Oh my, look out.
[Cole] We are live in America West Arena in Phoenix on RAW is War.
[music]
[Tony] One of the owners of the World Wrestling Entertainment, Shane McMahon.
[Cole] Shane McMahon headed to the ring with associates,
Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson.
[Lawler] You started calling them Stooges didn't you?
[Cole] Shane McMahon heir apparent to the throne here in the WWE.
One of its owners and I'm sure with plenty on his mind.
I'm gonna get right into this.
Kane, boy, have you been screwing up lately.
[Lawler] Kane?
I mean, last Monday on RAW, Kane.
You defied my father.
And everybody knows that you never cross the boss.
But last night, after the Royal Rumble was over,
Kane, you finally showed some intelligence.
As you came up to the McMahon corporate suite…
and you humbly apologized to the McMahons.
[Cole] I find that hard to believe.
So Kane to show you
that the McMahon family, is a compassionate family.
I ask Kane, would you please come down and join me in this very ring?
[Lawler] Wow
[crowd cheering]
[Kane's theme playing]
[fireworks bursting]
[Lawler] Oh, Michael Cole, what do you find hard to believe?
That Kane went to the corporate suite last night after the Royal Rumble
-and begged Mr. McMahon… -[Cole] Well, King--
[Lawler] …and corporation for forgiveness?
[Cole] King, that same story.
I want to hear the real story.
You know, Austin said--
[Lawler] Wait, you don't think you're gonna hear it from this idiot, do you?
[Cole] Austin said he's gonna take care of Mr. McMahon
in the Saint Valentine's Day massacre.
Kane may take care of his son, right here tonight.
Kane in the Royal Rumble match last night, eliminated just about everybody
before the orderlies were sent to the ring.
And Kane had to escaped through the crowd eliminating himself.
So we wouldn't go back to the loony bin.
[Lawler] I don't think Shane, if he were lying would be standing close to Kane.
I believe Shane.
[crowd cheering]
Now, Kane.
Last night's apology was so heartfelt.
I would like you to repeat those very words.
However, this time, in public,
[Lawler] Wow.
What's a public apology from Kane?
[crowd murmuring]
[Cole] That's that device that Kane uses to speak with.
[Kane's static sound] I apologies.
[Lawler] No.
Kane, seriously I didn't hear that.
[crowd murmuring]
[Kane's static sound] I apologies.
[Lawler] I guess you heard that, didn't you, Michael he apologized.
[Cole] He said I apologies.
Hey Kane hold on one second.
That isn't good enough, oh no.
Get down on your knee and apologize.
[Cole] Oh come on now.
[Shane] On your knee and apologize.
[Cole] He said he was sorry.
[Lawler] That Shane is a chip off the old block, isn't he.
[Cole] My goodness, King.
He already said he was sorry.
[Shane] On your knee please, on your knee.
[Lawler] He acts just like Mr. McMahon.
[Cole] He's overbearing, indignant and humiliating.
-[Lawler] You'll be out of work if you-- -On your knee, Kane.
[crowd exclaim]
[Lawler] Wow.
[Kane's static sound] I apologize.
[Lawler] That's power right there.
Kane.
That's not good enough.
Get down on both knees before me and apologize.
[crowd booing]
On your knees.
[X-Pac theme playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Now what?
[Cole] Here comes X-Pac.
[Lawler] For what?
This is none of his business.
Hey, turn the music off.
Hey I've had about enough of this crap.
I think we've all seen enough.
You guys need to just step off.
And you, you need to stand up in the corner and shut the hell up.
[Cole] What?
-[crowd cheering] -[Lawler] Whoa!
Man.
Kane.
How much crap are you gonna continue to take
from these idiots, man?
Listen to me.
Dump the corporate idiots.
And why don't you run with the DX crew
and we'll have your back.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Yeah.
X-Pac is inviting Kane to join DX.
And you.
Get the hell out of here.
And you.
I've been fired by bigger assholes,
than you or your old man.
And I'm in my fighting clothes right now.
So how about I kick your ass?
[Cole] X-Pac wants to pick-- wait a minute.
-[Lawler] Look at this. -[Cole] No.
[Cole] What the hell is Kane doing?
Oh wait, wait, wait.
Okay.
[Cole] Oh chokeslam.
Beautiful.
Drag him in the corner.
In the corner.
Right here in the corner, drag him.
[Lawler] Well X-Pac.
Big mouth punk gets what he deserved.
[Cole] X-Pac offered Kane to join a real family, DX.
No.
The Bronco Buster.
[crowd cheering]
The same move X-Pac used on Shane a few weeks ago.
[Lawler] Oh man.
[Cole] How embarrassing and humiliating for X-Pac.
[crowd murmuring]
[Kane's theme playing]
[Cole] I cannot believe this.
[fireworks bursting]
Kane is back with the corporation.
Kane could have joined DX.
But he's chosen to join Mr. McMahon.
And the corporate team.
[Lawler] Yes.
[Cole] We're back in the war zone in Phoenix.
And this was what happened during the break.
After the humiliation of X-Pac,
Degeneration X came in from out of nowhere and the associates.
Hey, Well, they got to take it out on him.
[Lawler] Yeah, but fortunately, Shane and Kane had already exited the ring.
[Cole] A few moments ago, let's go back in time now.
X-Pac had offered Kane to join Degeneration X.
Kane, obviously said no way.
And he get delivered a chokeslam to X-Pac.
[Lawler] Right poor X-Pac.
You know, he had done the Bronco Buster on Shane
in the past, but look at Shane.
Riding X-Pac like a bucking bronco.
[Cole] The ultimate humiliation for X-Pac.
-Who had come out today-- -[Lawler] Hey, hey wait a minute.
You know what he wants.
And you know what he wants to do don't you?
You understand, you understand and you understand?
What's this?
[Lawler] That was Paul Bearer huddling with the Ministry of Darkness.

[Cole] You're right.
[Lawler] Earlier today you know D-Lo,

Well,
they're getting D-Lo to do some little errands for them and a few little chores,
and they took D-Lo shopping today.

I need this.
You told me whatever I needed you'd do for me.
This is something I need.
I don't understand why you're giving me a problem.
Terri, I know you need it, I know you need it bad,
but you can't ask me to go in there and get that.
-Come on Terri. -I can't, I can't.
This is something I need, please, D-Lo.
You know what?
-Damn! -I remember a promise.

-Hey, D-Lo. -Alright.
Hey how you doing?
What happened?
-No, no. -Come on.
I'll tell you wait here.

Not only that, they were super max in size.
[Cole] Well folks, coming up next.
It's going to be a doozy.
Val Venis is going to debut his latest production, and King can't wait.

And, King, I am are very anxious to see the debut of his latest production,
which he plans to unveil right here tonight.
-[Lawler] We're gonna get to see it? -[Cole] I know you can't wait.
[Lawler laughs] I got a whole collection of his videos at home.
[Cole] Also, tonight, we're gonna see the Hardcore Tag Team match-up
where Road Dogg teams up with Al Snow
-to take on Gangrel and Edge. -[Lawler] What?
-[Cole] That should be interesting. -[Lawler] Hardcore rules?
[Cole] What about Triple H and The Rock for the WWE Championship
in an I Quit Match?
[Lawler] You're nervous about that one, aren't you?
[Cole] No, I'm anxious about this.
Hello, ladies.
[crowd cheering]
You know something?
You've all been probably wondering exactly what has been going on
with The Big Valbowski's video career.
[Lawler] I have.
Well tonight, I'm about to give each and every one of you
a sneak preview of my latest video…
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Whoo-hoo!
-…entitled Saving Ryan's Privates. -[Lawler] Whoa, I wonder if she's in it.
[Cole] What?
["Hello Ladies" playing]
[Val Venis] Hello, ladies.
[commentators] Whoa!
-[Cole] That's a… -[Lawler] What?
[Cole] Shamrock's sister in Val's latest flick.
[Lawler] What?
[Cole] That was a few weeks ago, where Val Venis was gyrated at ringside
in front of Shamrock's sister.
She seemed to like it a little bit.
[Lawler] A little bit? Hey, do you always talk during a movie, you idiot?
Shut up.
Hello, Kenny.
Sorry for being a little indisposed right now.
But you see, Dr. Venis is about to…
[hisses, groans]
…scrub up. [laughs]
You know, I'm about to make my latest video flick, entitled…
[groans] …Saving Ryan's Privates.
[laughs]
[groans]
Hey, Val. What took you so long?
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Oh, my gosh.
Is her name Ryan?
-[Cole] That's what he said. -Hey, that's one sweet sister.
[laughs]
-[Lawler] Whoa. -[Cole] Oh, my gosh.
Somebody turn on the fan at ringside for The King.
[Lawler] Momma, momma!
[Cole] I'll tell you, I don't think Mr. Shamrock's gonna be too happy.
["This is a Test" playing]
[Cole] Well, as Val Venis rejoices over his latest flick,
he's gonna have his hands full if he can pass the Test tonight
-against the Corporate team's hired gun. -[bell ringing]
[Cole] Boy, but what a bad night for Ken Shamrock.
Lost his belt.
[Tony] …He weighs in at 281 pounds,
Corporation member, Test.
[Cole] Ken Shamrock and Boss Man loses the tag team titles earlier tonight.
[Lawler] And then his sister's starring in a movie.
And his opponent, from weighing in at 244 pounds, Val Venis.
Triple X.
[Cole] What a night it's been.
Huge news, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is back to being the number one contender,
and he will face The Rock at WrestleMania,
that's unless Mr. McMahon can climb out of a steel cage
in your hometown of Memphis in less than three weeks.
-[yelling] -[Lawler] Oh!
[Cole] Val Venis now, going to work on Test, the six foot six, 280-pounder.
Nice side russian leg sweep by Val Venis.
[Lawler] Don't ever sell Mr. McMahon short.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Don't sell The Big Valbowski short either.
[Cole] We also found out tonight that Mankind has challenged The Rock.
The Rock has accepted to a match in an empty arena
during halftime in the big game right here on USA on Sunday.
[Lawler] Super Sunday!
[Cole] And here's Test now, went for the sleeper.
Val Venis countered, backs him into the ropes.
Off the ropes now, Val ducks underneath Test, and look at this.
-Great maneuver by Val Venis. -[Lawler] Wow.
And The Rock though, letting his ego getting a little carried away with him,
because he's gonna take on Triple H tonight
in an I Quit Match for the WWE Championship.
[Lawler] I'm worried about that. Look out!
And Val, tossed over the top rope by Test.
Wait a minute, wait a minute! Hey!
Shamrock from behind with a chair!
[Lawler] Oh, I knew this was gonna happen.
[Cole] I think Shamrock gave Val's latest flick a thumbs down.
And Test now, gonna take advantage.
-[Lawler] Whoa! -[Cole] Pumphandle slam, into a slam!
Referee didn't see Shamrock, and this one's over.
-[bell ringing] -Test picks up the win thanks to Shamrock.
-[Tony] Here's your winner… -[Lawler] Look at this.
-[Cole] And Shamrock wants Val to himself. -[bell ringing]
[Cole] Delivered a fierce chair shot to the back of Venis.
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. Look at this! -[Cole] Look at this now!
Billy Gunn wants Shamrock.
Billy Gunn, who barely lost the Intercontinental Title match
at the Rumble with Shamrock last night, has come out to aid Val Venis.
[Lawler] That Billy Gunn's an ass. Get out of there!
[Cole] But the damage has been done.
I mean, you saw what Shamrock did to Billy Gunn,
and all Billy Gunn did was moon Shamrock's sister.
[Shamrock yells]
I mean, I think that Val Venis saw Shamrock's sister's moon.
[crowd cheering]
[Lawler] Wait until Shamrock finishes with Val!
-Uh-oh. -[Cole] Val Venis now,
upset with "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn.
He never saw who hit him with the chair.
-Shamrock blindsided Venis. -[Lawler] Wait. Look at this.
Venis thinks-- He thinks Billy Gunn hit him in the back.
[crowd chatter]
[Cole] That was Shamrock who ambushed-- And now, Val Venis from behind,
takes out that ankle of "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn,
the injured ankle of Billy Gunn.
[Lawler] See there?
[Cole] This is a misunderstanding. We've had a lot of that tonight.
First, X-Pac comes out to help Kane and he gets chokeslam.
Now, Billy Gunn comes out to help Val Venis, and he gets attacked by Venis.
[Lawler] See, this is what happens to Good Samaritans,
getting what they deserve.
[Cole] Well, coming up next, you think this is wild,
Hardcore Tag Team action, Road Dogg and Al Snow versus The Brood.
["Oh You Didn't Know" playing]
Oh, you didn't know?
Your ass better call somebody.
[Cole] The Hardcore Champion, Road Dogg, teaming up with Al Snow
for this Hardcore Tag Team Match-up.
Capital H-A-R-D, capital C-O-R-E.
Until the day I D-I-E.,
and that's no L-I-E.
Hold this.
[Cole] So Road Dogg and Al Snow both had problems
with The Brood in recent weeks.
First, it was Al Snow suffering a blood bath,
-and at the end of this, King, he snapped. -[Lawler] Oh, yeah.
[Cole] And then it was now Road Dogg who suffered a blood bath
from the hands of Gangrel, Edge, and Christian just a couple of weeks back.
So revenge time, perhaps tonight, for Al Snow and Road Dogg.
And Road Dogg, looks like he's lying in wait along with Al Snow.
[Lawler] What? What are-- what are these idiots doing?
["Blood" playing]
[Cole] Gangrel and Edge will team up to take on Road Dogg and Al Snow.
Here we go now!
Road Dogg and Al Snow playing firemen, and they're putting The Brood's fire out.
And I guess we're under way!
[Lawler] It's hardcore!
[bell ringing]
[Cole] Road Dogg hammering away on Edge, and there's Al Snow on Gangrel.
Road Dogg and Al Snow had, perhaps,
the most memorable Hardcore Championship Match
in history just a few weeks back.
It was unreal. They actually fought out in the snow in that one.
-[Lawler] Look at that! -[Cole] Al Snow from the steps.
[Lawler] Well, this one is not gonna be for the weak at heart, either.
[Cole] And there's Al Snow, now on Brood. That's Gangrel.
[Lawler] And Falls Count Anywhere in this one, Michael, look out. Oh.
[Cole] No Holds Barred, Falls Count Anywhere, no disqualification.
Hardcore Tag Team Match.
[Lawler] I thought somebody was on fire.
[Cole] Every man for himself.
Al Snow teaming with the Road Dogg against The Brood.
[Lawler] Oh.
Oh, man!
[Cole] What a shot to Gangrel and Edge.
Oh, man.
They're battling back in the backstage area.
[Lawler] I'm telling you, this has become a special evening
for Road Dogg since he's become the Hardcore Champion.
He gets to these arenas early and he searches out every kind of object,
every kind of thing he can use as some sort of a weapon in these matches.
[Cole] Road Dogg is the WWE Hardcore Champion.
And there's the Western Union Double Feature, Al Snow from the stairs.
[Lawler] Uh-oh.
[Cole] I'll tell you about it, King, and we've talked about this in the past.
It takes a certain mentality to be involved in this type of match-up.
Total disregard for your body.
-[Lawler] Oh, no, look at this! -[Cole] The Brood with a dumpster.
They just sandwiched Road Dogg and Al Snow.
[Lawler] This is history in the making. This is the first time ever,
A Hardcore Tag Team Match.
[Cole] You know, that maneuver there is as legal as a headlock.
No Holds Barred, no disqualification, Falls Count Anywhere.
[Lawler] And somebody's going to get hurt here, oh!
[Cole] The thing about this is, King, is Road Dogg enjoys this type of match-up.
We saw him last week against Gangrel,
he was smiling at the end of his Hardcore Title defense.
[Lawler] I know it. Look, Al Snow loves it too
because he's too stupid not to.
[Cole] Al Snow with that steel bar, Edge from behind.
We saw Al Snow and Road Dogg in a classic Hardcore Championship Match.
Al Snow was smiling as well even after he lost.
[Lawler] Man, look at this. He is wrapping that metal pole
right around the body of Al Snow.
[Cole] If you think this is something, wait until a little bit later on.
No disqualification, no count-outs.
[Lawler] I mean, anything goes, you don't even need a referee.
Ray Charles could referee this match.
[Cole] Then later on, there's gonna be no disqualifications
or pinfalls either when The Rock takes on Triple H in the I Quit Match.
[Lawler] I'll tell you something,
usually right there in that backstage area,
it's packed with people, but everybody is scattered now.
They know when to make themselves scarce when this--
Uh-oh, look out. Going for a ride!
That was a short one.
[Cole] The Brood is in charge right now in this trio, a duo for this match-up.
Tremendous up-and-coming Superstars.
[Lawler] I see you hiding back there, guys.
[Cole] Gangrel, last night at the Royal Rumble,
gave X-Pac a run for his money in the European Championship Match.
Silverware tossed at Gangrel,
chair shot to Edge!
[Lawler] The caterers aren't gonna like that.
-[Cole] Gangrel now, chair to Al Snow. -[Lawler] Whoo-hoo.
[Cole] Oh, Road Dogg on the small of the back.
[Lawler] Gee, Minnelli!
[Cole] Referee Mike Chioda out there, Falls Count Anywhere, remember, folks.
Gangrel, kicking Al Snow while he's down.
[Lawler] Hit somebody, Gangrel. I think they're ready.
Uh-oh.
[Cole] What is Gangrel doing? He's got Road Dogg set up on the table.
[Lawler] Wait a minute, that's dinner for after the match.
[Cole] Perhaps payback for that table of last week.
Gangrel versus Road Dogg, when the table failed to split.
Gangrel, into the abdomen of Road Dogg, and that table just collapsed.
[Lawler] I know this is unbelievable, but it's all legal. Oh!
[Cole] What did you say about Road Dogg? He has hardcore hair?
[Lawler] Yeah.
[Cole] He's gonna have him some hardcore lumps on his head, too.
And Al Snow back there. Road Dogg now in control of Gangrel.
Fighting back in the technical area.
Reversal. Oh, man!
[Lawler laughing] I love it!
[Cole] Uh-oh, watch it. They fight in the ladies' room.
-[Lawler] Who's in there? -[women screaming]
[Cole] Somebody's in there.
[Lawler] I hope it's not Shamrock's sister. Whoa, it's the hos!
[Cole] The Godfather's hos were in the ladies room.
[Lawler] Sounded like Pat Patterson was in there.
[Cole] Road Dogg now.
[Lawler] Look at this!
[Cole] Al Snow with part of the commode over his head.
[Lawler] He's been collared.
Uh-oh!
[Cole] King, how much longer can this match-up last?
[Lawler] Not much longer. They can't absorb much more punishment like this.
Edge now in control of Al Snow.
Remember, no DQ, Falls Count Anywhere.
[Lawler] Al Snow must have been getting a drink and the lid fell on his head.
[Cole] A first for us here in the WWE, a Hardcore Tag Team Title Match.
[Lawler] Oh!
What are they doing up there?
[Cole] They're a good eight or nine feet off the ground up on those cases.
-Hey! That's Bluedust. -[Lawler] What is this?
Oh, man!
[Lawler] All four of them went through the table.
[Cole] Bluedust-- Blue Meanie just handed Al Snow Head,
and all four went through a table.
-One, two… -[Cole] And here's the cover now.
It's over!
Road Dogg pinned Gangrel.
Road Dogg and Al Snow defeat The Brood.
["Oh You Didn't Know" playing]
And perhaps more importantly, to Al Snow, he's been reunited with Head,
thanks to Bluedust.
Man, oh man, but that match was unbelievable.
That could have gone either way.
Gangrel, I mean, he gave them everything that he had.
Coming back out of the arena, the America West Arena,
there's the hardcore champion, Road Dogg,
his partner in this one, Al Snow, who has been reunited with Head.
[Lawler] And Edge and Gangrel are still laying in amongst those tables back there.
Look at this idiot.
[Cole] The Brood, a tremendous effort,
but let's take a look. There's Bluedust, handing the Head to Al Snow,
who used it on The Brood.
They fell through the tables, and it was Road Dogg who pinned Gangrel
to pick up the victory.
And let's hear the reaction.
[Lawler] All Road Dogg was able to do was drape his arm.
Uh-oh, shh, listen.
-[Cole] There's The Ministry. -[Lawler] Be quiet.
[The Undertaker] Tonight, it all begins.
The Earth…
-Road Dogg, Al Snow, incredible finish… -God, I loved that!
…to the Hardcore Tag Team Match.
It was absolutely incredible.
You are hardcore!
I don't know if I'm hardcore, just hard after that match.
Stop me, I'm too fast for the room.
I've got an idea. You saw what we could do together with you.
-You saw that, didn't you? -Yeah.
-Huh? -Yeah, I saw it.
I'm getting to it, okay? Get off my back.
I've got a great idea then. You already beat us once.
Yeah, I did.
But, now you owe me, so you give me the best two out of three
for that Hardcore Title,
because I consider myself the crown prince of hardcore.
You know what?
You're not the crown prince of hardcore.
See, that belt says that I'm the damn Hardcore Champ.
My friend, you have got it.
You got yourself a deal.
[grunting and groaning]
[Cole] Hey, The Ministry.
The Acolytes, Mideon, and that's Mabel.
Mabel, last night at the Royal Rumble was initiated, so to speak,
into The Ministry of Darkness.
[Lawler] Well, this is hardcore for you, right here.
[Cole] And they are demolishing the Road Dogg and Al Snow.
[Lawler] Well, earlier, we heard The Undertaker say,
"Tonight it all begins, and the Earth will never be the same."
-Is this what he was talking about? -[Cole] That was genocide.
[Lawler] Uh-oh.
-[Cole] There's The Undertaker. -[Lawler] Be quiet, be quiet.
This will be a holy war
of epic proportions.
[Paul Bearer laughing maniacally]
["Break It Down" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Folks, sit in your most comfortable recliner.
[Tony] The following is an I Quit Match
for the World Wrestling Entertainment Championship.
Get yourself a cold beverage.
[Tony] Introducing first, the challenger,
being accompanied to the ring by the "Ninth Wonder of the World" Chyna,
from Greenwich, Connecticut, weighing in at 260 pounds,
Triple H.
[Cole] Maybe even a late-night snack,
because you're not gonna wanna leave your TV for this one.
Triple H and The Rock in an I Quit Match for the WWE Title.
Well, we've taken our last commercial break,
and we're gonna stay with this…
-[Lawler] Whoo! -[Cole] …until it ends.
[Lawler] You said something about a comfortable recliner,
I'll tell you what, I think they're gonna be on the edge of their seat
for this one, Michael Cole.
[Cole] This match was set up earlier tonight
when The Rock ran his big old mouth again and said he could make any Superstar
utter "I Quit" whenever he wanted to.
Well Triple H said, "Okay, big boy, bring it on."
["Do You Smell It" playing]
[Tony] And his opponent from Miami, Florida,
weighing in at 275 pounds,
he's the World Wrestling Entertainment Champion,
The Rock!
[Cole] Not only, King, did The Rock accept this challenge,
but he also accepted a challenge from Mankind in six days,
at halftime of the big game on Super Sunday.
Halftime Heat, Mankind, Rock,
in an empty arena with a huge score to settle.
[Lawler] Well, that just shows you what kind of man The Rock is,
and you're right, there is a huge score to settle on Super Sunday,
and he got a huge amount of money to take back from Mankind. Look at this.
[Cole] And here we go now, "I Quit" Championship Match.
There are no pinfalls, there are no count-outs,
there are no disqualifications,
basically, there are no rules.
The only way you win is when your opponent says, "I Quit."
And here comes The Rock now, quickly out of the ring.
You know, King, when you do… own--
you have the richest prize in this industry, the WWE Title,
you get an awful lot of confidence.
You become cocky, and The Rock is extremely cocky.
[Lawler] And rightfully so.
He is the most electrifying athlete in the world today.
Look at this, oh.
[crowd counting]
[Cole] Triple H, now hammering away on The Rock.
And speaking of huge egos, King,
did Mr. McMahon allow his ego to run away with him a bit earlier tonight?
Austin is back as the number one contender at WrestleMania.
[Lawler] But February 14th,
Austin's got a date with Mr. McMahon in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
In a cage, I might add.
-Oh, look at this! -[Cole] Tossed over the top rope.
[Lawler] I know what it takes to win big matches in Memphis, Tennessee,
and Mr. McMahon has what it takes. He can beat Austin.
[Cole] Oh, Triple H baseball slide,
King, are you gonna help Mr. McMahon prepare?
[Lawler] I can tell him all he needs to know about Memphis.
[Cole] The way you sounded in the Rumble Match,
the conclusion of that,
you should have been The Corporate announcer.
[Lawler] Wait a minute, what's The Rock saying here?
He's not announcing that he quits, is he?
[Cole] The Rock, who claimed to make Mankind say, "I Quit," last night,
but we learned earlier, he didn't.
[Lawler] Oh. That's your story.
[Cole] Mankind should be the damn champion,
and Triple H may be champion after tonight.
[Lawler] Rock's story is, Mankind said he quit, and he's sticking to it.
[Cole] Keep in mind, folks, there are no rules in this one,
no count-outs, no pinfalls, make your opponent say, "I quit,"
and you win the prize.
But I got to give The Rock credit, King,
a tremendous sports entertainer.
What an athlete.
He went nearly 40 minutes with Mankind last night
in the most brutal match in the history of WWE,
and he is out here again tonight in the same type of match-up.
[Lawler] And listen to these moronic, idiotic fans saying, "Rocky sucks."
He does not suck! Oh!
[Cole] Oh, Triple H with a clothesline on that steel ramp!
[Triple H] Come on, Rock, say it!
[The Rock] Rock is gonna kick your monkey ass--
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Triple H, now with the mic into the forehead of The Rock,
and now pounding his head into that steel ramp!
You win if you get your opponent to say, "I quit."
Triple H, definitely the fresher of these two men.
[Lawler] Oh, man.
And I know Rock is sore from last night,
but this just shows what kind of man he is, and you're right.
You said the winner of this match, if he gets his opponent to say he quits,
gets the big prize, but Rocky already has the big prize.
-He's the Champion. -[Cole] But in a few--
[Lawler] He's doing this for pride, Michael Cole.
He told the world he can make any WWE superstar say "I quit,"
and that's what he's out here to prove, and I believe him.
[Cole] Oh, Triple H with the right hand.
Rock, right out in front of us now, and the Champ in trouble.
Another right hand from Triple H.
The challenger-- Oh, man, into the ring bell table!
Triple H… Oh!
Give him your headset, you idiot.
-Give me the mic. Yeah. -[Lawler] There you go.
Come on, Triple H,
you roody-poo, you're half-gay anyway, say you quit.
Oh.
[crowd cheering]
[Triple H grunting]
Say it, Rock. Come on, say it.
Say it!
Easy. Easy, Triple H.
Easy.
[Cole] King, are we on?
Can you hear me?
[crowd chanting] Rocky sucks!
[Cole] Triple H, the challenger, has once again regained momentum,
and The Rock, into the crowd!
And The King's headset has been knocked completely out of the electrical circuit.
[Lawler] Hello?
-[Cole] I can hear you now. -[Lawler] Am I back?
[Cole] And Rock and Triple H, in the crowd.
And now, here comes the Champion, The Rock!
"I Quit" for the Championship.
[Lawler] I blame you for this, Michael. Why didn't you get out of the way?
[Cole] These two great athletes giving all they have
for the WWE Championship.
[Lawler] Get over there, ref, he's choking The Rock.
[Cole] Triple H using the electrical cord.
These athletes, giving everything they have for the WWE Title.
Come on, Rock! Come on!
Say it.
[groaning]
Say it or I'll choke you, come on!
You go to hell, you piece of--
-[Lawler] Oh! -[Cole] And here's the challenger now.
Two of the youngest Superstars,
the most talented Superstars in this industry,
battling it out for the top prize, the WWE Title.
Uh-oh, look out.
-[Lawler] Rock, look out, oh! -[Cole] Rock, into the steel stairs,
unforgiving steel stairs.
[Lawler] That hurt his shoulder bad.
[Cole] And, King, we've taken our last commercial break.
-We're staying with this one to the end. -[Lawler] No!
[Cole] And Triple H is closing in.
How much more can The Rock take?
[Lawler] Don't quit, Rock, don't ever quit.
[Cole] Last night, The Rock, through a brutal match-up.
Another one tonight.
Now Triple H has the bell and a hammer.
Triple H with the ring bell and a hammer.
This is legal.
[Lawler] Oh, no. Rock, he's gonna ring the bell--
-Oh, yes! Thank goodness. -[Cole] Rock, with a counter
-to the midsection. Oh, DDT! -[Lawler laughing]
[Cole] No cover on this one. Rock was gonna go for the cover,
obviously a bit disoriented.
[Lawler] Don't knock him completely out, Rock.
He can't say he quits if he's out.
[Cole] Your opponent has to say, "I quit."
And Rock has put the bell on the face, and now he has the hammer.
[Lawler] Oh, watch!
[Cole] Not The Corporate Elbow on the bell.
[Lawler laughs] The most electrifying move in sports entertainment history, yes!
[Cole] Rock just delivered The Corporate Elbow,
with hammer in hand, to the bell into--
Now, you tell the millions, and millions of The Rock's fans
that your roody-poo ass says, "I quit."
[Lawler] Say it.
Suck it!
-[Lawler] What? What? -[Cole] The challenger.
Listen to the reaction.
We are live in Phoenix, and these fans are behind Triple H.
[Lawler] He told The Rock to suck it.
-Come on, Rock! -[Cole] Triple H, off the rope.
-Beautiful counter by the challenger. -[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Face first into the knee, and the momentum has once again shifted.
-[Lawler] No, not the Pedigree. -[Cole] This must be it, Pedigree!
-Pedigree! -[Lawler] Oh!
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] We're gonna have a new champion, King.
Come on, Great One! No, you know what, I'm not done.
[Lawler] Oh, no. He's not done with The Rock.
[Cole] The only way to win is to say "I quit."
-[Lawler] What's he doing? -[Cole] Rock, out in front of us again.
[Lawler] He just took our cameraman out.
-[Cole] Cameraman knocked on the floor! -[Lawler] Rock, don't say it. Don't quit.
[Cole] And Triple H, now on The Rock.
[Lawler] Not another one. Not a pedigree on the floor!
[Cole] No! Pedigree right out in front of us.
-Pedigree on the floor in front of us. -Come on, Rock,
make my monkey ass famous.
No, you know what,
I'm not done.
-[Lawler] What? -[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Triple H doesn't want The Rock to say "I Quit".
-[Lawler] No, wait a minute! -[Cole] Onto the table!
[Lawler] No, come on you can't do this!
-[Cole] No! -[Lawler] Not here!
[Cole] Triple H wants to Pedigree The Rock on the table.
[Lawler] No, please, no!
[Cole] We're gonna have a new champion! Wait a minute!
-[Lawler] Uh-oh. -[Cole] What are they doing out here?
[Lawler] Here comes some help. Look at this!
[Cole] Kane has Chyna! Kane has Chyna!
You listen to me.
Get your hands off The Great One right now.
You say them little words, "I quit,"
or Kane's gonna lay the smackdown and break Chyna's damn neck.
[Cole] No! What?
[Big Boss Man] You got that? Hey, you think I'm kidding?
-[Cole] Kane will break Chyna in half. -[Big Boss Man] Kane!
Either you quit, or she goes for a ride.
Okay, all right, all right.
You win, all right.
I quit.
-[Lawler] What? -[Cole] Triple H said, "I quit."
Put her down.
["Do You Smell It" playing]
-[Cole] The Rock wins! -[Lawler exclaims]
[Cole] Triple H had the title won.
We had a new champion but he said "I quit,"
after The Corporate Team abducted Chyna. Damn it!
The Rock has gotten away with another one.
The Rock has again gotten away with another one
thanks to The Corporate Team.
The Rock was put through hell and back.
Triple H was about to Pedigree The Rock on the announce table,
and Triple H said "I quit," as Kane held Chyna high in the air.
Triple H came to Chyna's rescue.
[Lawler] Wait a minute.
This ain't over yet.
[Cole] Now Kane wants Triple H.
Triple H wants Kane.
Come on.
[Cole] Chyna wants some of Kane too.
-What's go-- No! What the hell? -[Lawler] What?
-[Cole] Chyna just delivered a low blow… -[Lawler] What? What happened?
[Cole] …to Triple H.
What the hell?
Triple H can't believe it.
Chyna… Chyna… Chyna has turned her back on Triple H.
King, what in the hell is going on?
-[Lawler] Rock, what is this? -[Cole] And now The Corporate Team
dismantling Triple H. What is Chyna doing?
-[Lawler] Chyna… -[Cole] Triple H, chokeslam!
Chyna, Chyna has joined The Corporation.
[Lawler] And look at this, look who's here.
[Lawler] What a night!
[Cole] And Triple H, being systematically dismantled.
[Lawler] And look at this, Mr. McMahon, and Chyna-- They're welcoming Chyna!
[Cole] For the love of god. Chyna is part of the McMahon family.
I can't believe it!
The "Ninth Wonder of the World" Chyna has left DX.
Chyna has joined The Corporate Team.
