All language subtitles for Royal Rumble 03 (Full Event) (1990)

It's time to rumble!

It's time for the Royal Rumble, where it's every man for himself.

The 30 participants include the ultimate warrior,

the hokey talkman, the macho king Randy Savage,

rowdy Roddy Piper,

Andre the Giant,

super five Jimmy Stoker,

bad news brown,

Shawn Michaels,

Demolition Axe, along with the model Rick Martell.

Cool, cool, beware, the hitman Bray Hart.

The warlord, the mighty Herculees,

ravishing Rick Rood, Marley Janetti,

Mr. Perfect, Demolition Smash,

shake the bank.

The Barbarian

Dusty Rhodes, the American Dream

the bushwhackers! Meet the fact that it's Ruyo Brothers Attack Action Plus!

Brutal ups, individual guests!

the distinct advantage.

If it turns into a brawl, then that's right down the Bushwackers territory.

Luke and Butch, because they don't know a lot of wrestling, but they will fight you.

Well, that's right.

Luke and Butch.

You know, both teams are gonna feel each other out a little bit.

And like I said, it's gonna depend on whether it's wrestling or whether it's brawling.

If the Rujos and Jimmy Hart can keep it wrestling,

without a doubt they're the superior tag team.

Raul and Rujo.

What a crowd here though, I can't believe it.

Orlando, Florida filled the capacity, I told you before.

Not even Mickey and Goofy could get in, and I made sure they couldn't.

They didn't have tickets.

Do you have a ticket, Shimani?

What are you insinuating?

Well, and what are you doing here?

Well, I just wanted to sit beside of you.

It was OK.

Listen to the fans.

They are standing and cheering.

Well, they're really prepared.

The fans' support is definitely with

Luke and Butch, the push-whackers.

Yeah.

Why I don't know, because the Rujos

are the all-American boys.

Now, Jesse, now wait just a second.

I mean to tell me that you feel the fans should get behind guys like Ramon and jock just because they say they're all American boys

They did more than say it

Immigrants most of America's immigrants, you know that shabbani. Yeah, that's what America's all about

Right to the midsection, quickly now.

Ramon going right to work on Butch.

As he tied up, double team will start things up.

What's up?

Cutting right on that time.

Well, that was a smart move on the part of Luke.

He wouldn't allow a double team by the Rugeau brothers.

From behind, a sleeper home from Ramon Rugeau.

And this could end very quickly.

You're right.

an immediate disqualification.

Outside, here comes your battering, Ryan, watch out.

No, Jock felt better on it.

Well, the Rujos are faking wrestlers, and they're trying to avoid a brawl,

but apparently they may have to get in and brawl it out with the Bush Whackers,

because right now the Bush Whackers are dictating this match.

It ain't psychological, Tony.

It hurts.

You ever been bit?

Not by a bushwhack.

Good thing you'd probably need about a dozen shots.

That's probably what the Rujos and the Reffers looking at now.

Heading downtown and getting eight shots when this is over.

And that's exactly what Jimmy's trying to do, Tony,

is regroup the Rujos and try to get him in there

and beat him with some wrestling.

But you said that before, and it's been much more than just

a headbutt, and much more than biting, Jesse.

How much more?

That's all I've seen.

Some great clotheslines, some great timing.

He's got to have brains to be intimidated so I don't think Butch can be intimidated.

He doesn't have the brains to be intimidated.

Oh, classic.

From behind now.

A stomp.

Right on the midsection.

Jack Rugell going right after Luke.

Well, they're using Bushwhacker tactics.

Now who's choking him with that ring rope?

Choking with the ring rope.

The referee.

Ushering Butch back.

And that's a mistake right there on the part of Butch because he's got the referee tied up.

He's allowing Raymond Rujo to do his damage outside the ring.

Fishes turn buckle right there, shook the whole ring.

Outside.

Now you're playing in the Rujo's backyard to the apron of the ring.

It's more than just classic wrestling.

But when you match from the Rujo's, it's tactics like that from the outside.

Watch out, Jimmy Hart being chased by Butch.

And that may be a mistake.

trying to prove, chasing Jimmy Hart around.

He just wants him out of the way, just.

Jimmy Hart does not interfere in a match.

All he does is sit outside the ring with the megaphone and

coaches his wrestlers, which is exactly what a manager has the right to do.

And I bet you he was a boy scout, right upon the ropes.

You think so?

No.

Think he made eagle scout?

No, once again.

Bushwhackers have been fighting and referee Danny Davis has let it slide.

And it almost worked.

is wrestling about that forearm, double tee.

Wait a minute, a forearm is a legal move, Tony Shabani.

Just as that was, they have five seconds

to get out of the ring.

Then it's illegal.

That was classic good tag team wrestling.

And look at this.

Look at that show of athletic prowess right there.

Beautiful nip up by Jacques Rougeau.

I don't think there's anyone here among these 18,000

that really appreciate that move.

I appreciated it, so there's one there's one.

Into the corner, once again, a quick tag out.

Rujo's looking really good right now.

Double team again, and Luke's in trouble.

Luke better make a tag, he's been in the ring far too long.

He's absorbed a lot of punishment.

If he don't tag Butch, this match is gonna be over.

And here comes Butch again, there's a mistake, Tony.

Butch getting the attention of the referee.

And referee Danny Davis did not see a thing.

He was tangled up with Butch on the other side of the ring.

The fans stomping and clapping, trying to get Luke to make that tag.

He has been unable to get through his car over quite a while now.

Listen to him.

I'll tell you, this is a great, great capacity crowd here in Illinois.

Once again, with good tag teamwork, get the Freshman in.

I'll tell you, this is some hectic tag team pace going on in here.

This match could well end up whichever team has the most endurance

to keep up this kind of pace in the ring.

Double team once again.

You think the pace is really to benefit the Rujos though?

I think the Rujos probably are in a little better physical stamina position.

Look at this capacity crowd, wow.

Tremendous arena here in Orlando, great to be a part of it.

It really is, Jess.

It is a tremendous crowd, and they have been fired up for this match.

And they've seen a dandy so far between the Rujos and the Bushwhackers.

A tag has been, that's not a tag.

Now here's an illegal move.

No, that's a tag.

Look at this, look at this.

Pow, woo.

Right to the midsection down goes Lou and Jacques adds a little forearm to the back

See now the Rujos have got it to wrestling here, Tony

They're using holds are using classic wrestling holds. There's a reverse chin lock right there almost a camel clutch

But they've gotten there do double team moves

So what you got the car you're telling me the pushbackers don't double team

I didn't say that double team happens. It's tag team. That's what it's called

Here's a tag, Jack once again.

Luke is in a world of trouble.

Jack, over top, watch out.

Down on the knees, Luke up the knees up.

He's close, he is so close.

Luke needs to make the tag if he wants any hope of winning this match.

And here's the tough job for a referee, getting some type of order when all four men end up.

him sacrificing his body.

Random Drain has taken place for the Royal...

With me at this time, the Bodyguard Virgil, along with Billion Donner-Bad, Ted DiBiossi,

the way you pick the number is the way you enter the Royal Rumble this afternoon.

Now, last year, allegedly, Ted DiBiossi, you drew number 30, which would be advantageous.

Allegedly, allegedly, no. Last year, little man, I drew number 30.

Well, some suspected there might have been a little chicanery,

but certainly that wouldn't happen this year with all the added security.

of World Wrestling Federation President Jack Tunney.

You're not going to be finding security.

Security? Security?

You call that security?

I call it downright gestopoism.

I didn't even have the opportunity to draw my own number.

Wait a minute, Ted DiBiase.

You asked Virgil to draw the number?

I didn't ask Virgil to draw the number.

Well, of course you did.

Virgil, did I ask you to draw the number?

No.

No, shut up.

Don't say anything.

You made a mistake.

I can't believe this.

Wait a minute.

What number did you draw?

It's none of your business, what number I drew.

Wait a minute, we're gonna find out sooner or later.

Where's the number?

Where it's, there it, let me take a look.

Oh, you couldn't have gotten the worst draw.

This is number one, the worst number of the lot.

Let me tell you something, little man.

It doesn't matter whether I draw number one,

number two, or number 30.

What it means is I'll be the first man in the ring.

I'll be the last man in the ring,

and it's a golden opportunity for me to show all you

nine to five, nickel and dimers out there,

that I'm the greatest wrestling talent of the world.

I'll be there to the end, and I'll win it.

Things are heating up here at the Royal Rumble.

Let's go back inside to the Mickey Mouse,

Jesse Ventura and you, Tony.

All right, mean G-Docallin.

And I think that Jack Tunney should

be commended for extra security.

And what about the million dollar man with the number one draw?

Tough, tough position.

Let's go to the fake.

The genius has a poem for us all

Behold the barber what's his name with scissors in his hand

Intellectually inferior and totally outmanned

He wants to give my genius hairdo an aesthetic augmentation

So I can be the joke of this world wrestling federation.

All his cotton and his strutten may be quick enough for some.

But I'm the world's smartest man and beefcakes double dumb.

You know, you gotta give him credit. Remarkable poetry.

Listen to him. Awaiting the arrival of the music.

From San Francisco, California, weighing 271 pounds,

Brutus the Borrower, Big Ten!

incredible here in Orlando.

They're ready for some royal runway.

The genius, very poised,

awaiting The Barber.

And we're just about set to go.

The Barber.

You like that attire, Jess?

Well, to me it looks like some of it's missing.

You know, there's pieces of it missing.

I often wonder, maybe Brutus gets a little overzealous with those shears and uses it on his clothes.

Maybe it's the fashion of the 90s.

Oh, don't say that.

Maybe we'll see you wearing something like that one day.

What do you think?

I don't think so. I think I'll stick with my Mickey Mouse ears.

Yeah, I thought you'd say that.

Take a look.

Genius, Genius had some derogatory words about Brutus the Barber you heard in his

opening poem as he crunches his way toward the corner.

Hey, say what you want about the genius.

The man is smart and the man is a tremendous athlete.

He does many great athletic moves in there.

I remember not too long ago on a Saturday night main event that Genius upset the champion,

Hulk Hogan.

Wait a second.

Yeah, but it mr. Perfect was on the outside with a bet we all saw. Oh, yeah, but who won the match the genius

All right

So beef take better be ready. He better not take this guy too lightly

Yeah, maybe mr. Perfect will end up out here

Even though at times the genius is a little bit light in the loafers

But what the heck why in the world where the genius want to shake hands with a left hand

But no one in the world shakes hands with a left hand, dude. I don't know

Now the genius is saying there's no way that beefcake is going to give him any air cut.

What he's doing is if he happens to lose this match, if he happens to go out thanks to

Brutus' sleeper, he's setting himself up for a nice trim as they tie up in the center of the ring.

Well, if it gets down to muscle, beefcake will win it.

You all right?

Oh, clean break.

That's pretty unique out of the barber.

Tony, he saw an opening, he went for it regardless he went after the eyes.

That's one part of the body, if you're out man, you can always get somebody in the eye.

Now, into the corner, Brutus in trouble right here.

The genius climbs the-

a part of Buddhist, the barber beefcake.

But to notice how smart the genius is,

he knew he was hurt, he jumped out of the ring,

he's taken a little time out there.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

You know, like in football, if a quarterback,

like say Joe Montana, is gonna take that big hit,

he'll step out of bounds rather than take the hit.

That's called smarts.

There's a difference between stepping out of bounds

and running away scared.

He was not running away scaring.

What are you talking about?

Zayab once again and the genius.

Went back to the eyes again.

Sure did.

Right to the attack and the genius.

Some great blows right in.

It blows right up against the barber who's in trouble.

I told you this guy could fight.

He's showing it right here.

There he goes again.

He measured in for that one and that was right on target.

I don't think there's much of a test that's going to happen.

He's got to go regroup, and look how smart he is.

It's exactly what he's doing.

The genius on the outside, the barber on the inside.

The genius had one flurry onto the barber.

And you can hear the chance of the capacity crowd.

Solidly behind Brutus the barber out of San Francisco.

This could be a big week for Brutus, you know, being from Frisco to 49ers in

the Super Bowl, and if Brutus can take care of the genius for the week for it.

Right to the midsection of the genius, laying the shutters in, again, and again.

I've never seen the genius use a headbutt before.

He dropped that chin, and allowed Brutus to get that foot in a knife.

A genius in big trouble.

On the back of the neck, that'll scramble those brains around.

And will definitely leave the ears ringing.

And now to the back of the neck again.

You know, you gotta give the genius credit, great resilience on his part.

He's hung in there, chuck it.

He's taking some of Brutus' best shots, and he's still on top.

It actually clotheslined the genius on the bottom row.

The genius bounces back again.

Xandell blows.

So one thing you have to do if you're going to go up to that top rope, Tony,

you can't dilly dally around up there.

You've got to do your damage.

the genius to get nasty, he can get away with anything right here.

Yeah, the cheat.

Absolutely, hey, it ain't how you play the game,

it's whether you win or lose.

That's something for all the kids to remember.

I'll write that one down.

There it is.

He's got the sleeper again.

He's got it hooked right in the middle of the ring.

The genius has nowhere to go.

But again, Tony, there's no referee.

I think maybe just a little bit off the sides now over the whole thing.

This is utterly terrible.

Now there's no referee to stop this.

double disqualification both beefcake and the genius disqualified and the genius

of course still has some of his remnants laying all around the ring and what a

horrible haircut he gave you that was that was quite a hedge of job but I

think I mean that haircut makes Gene Oakland's hair look good now just as

you take a look at the weapon and I do say weapon used by Mr. Perfect take a

let's go to the replay there you see Brutus doing his dirty work on the genius with that horrible haircut

into the rescue comes mr perfect with a perfect forearm followed by another

One, he drives in to Brutus' beefcake, a fourth one,

and you can see Mr. Perfect doing a lot of damage

on Brutus, and Brutus will think twice

about cutting somebody's hair again.

But it was the chair that did the real damage

on Brutus the barber beefcake.

Standing by is Sean Mooney, and he is standing by

with the Heenan family.

What's good to show him?

Things have already gotten out of hand on the floor

back here, the Heenan family.

Getting ready for the Royal Rumble, Bobby Heenan,

you have the tag team champions,

Andre the Giant and Haku,

former Intercontinental Champion,

ravishing Rick Rude,

but this is one event you must admit,

every man for himself.

No, no, you got it wrong, Mooney.

It's not every man for himself.

It's every family for himself.

No, no, no, wait, Rick Rude, what number did you draw?

That's none of your business, Mooney.

You're concerned yourself with everything?

Am I to assume that everybody has their numbers

close enough so they can work as a unit?

Everybody is happy with their numbers.

Let's put it this way.

He's very happy with his.

Andre's happy with his.

We have all, everything's planned.

Everything's mapped out.

It could come down to you being one of the last men in the ring, that other man could

be Haku.

Now, you want to win the Royal Rumble, right?

Well, if that's what it boils down to, I'm going to do whatever it takes to win.

You hear that Haku?

Well, is that supposed to be like that?

That's the Royal Rumble's rule.

What if that other man were, say, Andre the Giant.

Now, Andre, you could go up against Haku if you could be the last to win.

I don't want anything happening.

I think I detect some dissension.

It seems the Heenan family has started their own rumble right here.

Let's get back to the action.

Yes, we can't wait for WrestleMania 6.

WrestleMania 6, you know, Tony, I've been to the first five.

This is my sixth in a row.

Every year they get more and more exciting.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the special submission match.

The rules are simple.

The winner of this match will be that individual who makes his opponent submit.

Introducing the participants first to my left with his manager the most of the

South Jimmy Hart from Seattle Washington weighing 249 pounds Greg the Hammer

some concern on the face of Brick the Hammer Valentine.

Well, there's concern because, as you can see,

Rugged Rodney Garvin is wearing a brace on his leg.

Now, why would Rodney Garvin need a brace on his leg?

Well, why would Brick Valentine need a brace on his leg?

Everybody knows the hammer suffered an injury

about six, nine months ago.

It still bothers him.

Right.

And the vicious, oh, look at this.

Garvin did not waste any time, it just, you knew it would be like this.

Absolutely, this is an I quit match.

The only way this match ends is if submission.

Somebody has to submit or say I've had enough.

Now with these two guys, Valentine and Garvin,

I can't imagine either one of them saying those words to me.

Neither can I, but that's how the match ends.

We have a cover, forget it, no pins here.

Garvin has to be reminded of that, so it's going to take a lot of punishment to come out with a win in this match and right now the hammer, he's trying, I'm sure today's the hammer to take him off his feet, maybe to try to put a submission hold on him and now Garvin with those combination blows.

Right to the midsection the hammer lured him into that corner. Oh

What a big shot

Right to the chest

Just cutting him down like a tree

Look at these guys blow to blow against each other Wow

You know, I'll tell you Tony it's shots like that that make me glad I'm retired

Now you can see Jimmy Hart trying to pump his man up,

trying to pump Greg the hammer up.

The capacity crowd here at the Orlando Arena,

Orlando, Florida.

Couldn't put another person in here, if you tried, Tony.

Not with a shoehorn.

Good jab.

Watch out, they are just duking it out, these two.

This is turning into boxing.

It really is.

Garvin, he keeps going straight ahead.

does best and that's why he has to name the hammer because when he drops that

arm and that elbow it's like a hammer. No need for the second one.

Garvin rolled out of the way. Boy this is a high-impact match Garvin

staggering. Valentine may try to put the figure four on right here. Why not? He's

And that's what the Hammers known for, is that figure four leg lock.

Now, Pitfall, no matter, you know, that's a tough part in a match like this,

because wrestlers are so used to going for pins.

You're so used to in that ring, trying for a one, two, three count to win a match,

where in this match it means nothing.

Garvin is dazed, he cannot stand up.

No ropes, the turnbuckle's holding Ronnie Garvin up.

And Greg Valentine just picking his shots, look at this.

Garvin trying to block off the kernel, encouraging his man on it, here we go.

Back and forth, here they go.

Garvin.

Garvin getting the best of it.

Headbutt, Valentine is dazed, Garvin's down.

Wow.

Now that's what's dangerous about delivering a headbutt.

Look at your opponent, if you don't do it right.

It's been one of Garvin's favorite weapons though.

Tony it's the egos involved I mean how will each man be able to look himself in

the mirror tomorrow knowing he's submitted if he's the one that has to

that's a tough pill to swallow for those with big egos or you gotta have a big ego to be a top wrestler

The numbers adjusted.

He's got to go for a submission though.

Well, maybe he will.

He's walking now, he's still.

You consider that fair, Tony?

Every bit as much as using one to aid in a figure four.

Yes, I do.

I mean, I've never seen anybody last five seconds

at Greg Valentine's figure four leg lock.

Garvin laughed at him.

Oh, he picks it up.

Here's one he can't block with an ever-jammer.

How much punishment can he take up top?

That used to be my old submission hold, right?

He needs to hook the hands though.

He needs to hook the hands on the top to apply that much more pressure.

All right, didn't get it.

Garvin is down.

Valentine finding out that his figure four leg lock is ineffective against...

Runny Garvin.

You know, I wonder if Jimmy Hart and the Hammer took that into consideration.

An alternative move that if he couldn't get that figure four to work.

Twisted the ankle

These two guys are going to be able to take.

I don't need it.

They have really gone at it into the corner.

Uh-oh, he's hooked up there.

Look at that right leg.

It is hooked underneath of the turnbuckle,

and that enables Valentine.

Dido, Valentine could kick him here

till Garvin may have to submit.

How will Rodney Garvin free himself from this?

of action here at the Royal Rumble. Of course the random drawings have already taken place folks.

The numbers one through thirty drawn by various people that are going to be participating in

the Royal Rumble. We've got some people who are very unhappy about the number they've drawn.

Mr. Perfect, I don't know what your frame of mind is right now,

but before we talk about your participation in the Royal Rumble,

I want to talk about what we just saw here earlier on.

A singles match between Brutus the Barber Beefcake and the Genius,

and you obviously interfered.

If you want to call that interference, you call it what you want.

But I'm sick and tired of it.

Every time Brutus the Barber Beefcake puts somebody to sleep,

he thinks he can take advantage of them.

Well, the genius happens to be a friend of mine.

And now you know beefcake.

What happens to friends of mine when they get in trouble.

Wait a minute. Let's take a look at what happened specifically.

You ran into the aid of the genius, and I couldn't believe it.

You actually went outside and grabbed the chair,

took a chair from ringside.

What was going through your mind?

I'll tell you what's going through my mind.

Victory the want to win and that's exactly what I do every time I get in the ring

And I've turned some heads now in the World Wrestling Federation and beefcake you're another

You're another excuse why mr. Perfect is gonna go all the way to the top in the World Wrestling Federation

You know hair grows back, but beefcake your ribs. They may not grow back the right way

That was totally on a call for to the Royal

I'm sure you're gonna have to deal with the likes of Brutus the barber beefcake later on 30 of the greatest

What was the number by the way you drew? I drew the perfect number and everybody knows the perfect number in the royal rumble is

Number 30 you you bet I choose number 30

I pulled it right out and I'm gonna tell you something right now

And so I'm standing here the royal rumble is gonna be just like everything else. I've done in my life

Absolutely perfect.

Here's something else, Mr. Perfect right now.

Out of the arena, let's join Brother Love.

Oh, yeah.

And now, Brother!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

It was a picture.

Mr. Pinkaboo!

I just want to ask you one thing honey, who exactly is it that you get your clothes from?

I want to know, so that I don't make the mistake of looking exactly like you.

I did, yes.

But you know, since the Sapphire have a question for you.

The same

But tell me something, Sister Sapphire, what is it exactly that you see in Dusty Road?

Well, I'm sure that you see a whole lot in Dusty Road because after all, there's a whole lot to see in Dusty Road.

Yo sister queen, I know that the being the manager of the macho king did you travel with the macho king?

He's grabbing love and literally firing him on onto the floor.

Yeah, polka dots along, Dusty Rhodes and Sapphire getting in the last flow.

Let's go to Sean Muddy with Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

We're anticipating the next big battle to take place here.

The big boss man taking on Hacksaw Jim Duggan, we're going to try and get him.

The big boss man is truly one superstar who lives by his own law.

You have to approach this mismatch a little bit differently than...

I don't have to approach, approach, approach anything, any differently!

Hacksaw Jim Duggan does his things his own way.

And boss man, remember, this is the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And it was just a matter of time before you crossed Hacksaw Jim Duggan's path

Well, the big boss man has stated you are going to be serving hard time before this...

I don't care what the big boss man says, I don't care what the big boss man thinks,

because he's not talking to some young punk down at the convenience store.

He's talking to Hacksaw Jim Duggan, and I'm coming after ya, tough guy!

On the way to the ring is Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

It looks as though he'll be giving the big boss man a hard time.

And how can be Georgia playing 357 hounds?

The Big Boss Hand.

There'll be no finesse in this match, Jesse The Body Ventura.

Absolutely not.

There's a man of law and order right there.

More like pain and destruction.

You know Tony?

Did you ever face a guy like that when you were incarcerated?

No, some ladies that size, but no men.

Let's just hope that neither get involved in the matchup.

Let's see it man the man without any of it.

Well, I would agree.

How you like that?

I agree with you.

Although I think if it got down to brass tacks,

I think the night stick could break the two by four.

Hacksaw against, and there's the two by four.

And he's corner.

The big boss man puts away his night stick and his cuffs.

to see too many wrestling holds in this matchup.

Not at all, you're right.

And Bossman getting the early advantage.

The end of the midsection.

Hacks off.

The Slickster, with his arm around the big boss man,

and uh-oh, they're going to go on the outside.

We're out to the floor.

And it's not even a minute into the match right now.

Left hands, right hand.

Oh, oh!

Rue and the boss man running,

dug it into that post outside the ring.

Watch out, the Slickster is right behind it.

the referee is laying back and just letting them go at it.

Well, that's what he's doing.

He's two men.

You know, and there's times that maybe a referee should do that, Tony.

Well, you'd like that, wouldn't you?

No, I'm just saying, let them settle their differences.

Be a little bit lenient.

Let the match go on.

When you got two tough guys like this, they gotta settle it.

That's exactly what we have.

Two tough guys.

And he smacks him into the corner.

Wow, big right hand.

Now the boss man's measuring him.

Some intimidation down the ring side for the snickster, for the ride once again.

He caught the leg.

Oh my goodness.

What an agility move on the part of the boss man.

350, 380 pounds, that was remarkable.

You gotta admit that Tony.

You're not gonna see a better move than that anywhere from anyone.

Jim Duggan, I don't think Jim Duggan had any idea of the agility of the Big Boss Man.

He's gotta be stunned.

I know he didn't prepare for that move.

No one did, but the Boss Man has one motion, and that is straight ahead.

He knocked him right down with one, he got right back up.

Well, you know, I've said it before, the Boss Man can't help it.

You know, he's a product of his environment.

Well, you can bet the Boss Bats met some hard criminals in his day.

Just that Hacksaw might just take a little bit more to interrogate him, that's all.

My question, why not adhere to the old cliché?

What you saw here, what you did here, stays here.

Why in the world would he bring that to the ring with him?

That night stick.

Why does Duggan bring a two by four?

Well, that's like his trademark, you know, his sidekick, his trusting two-by-four.

Let me ask you this, Shabani, have you ever seen a law enforcement man that doesn't have a night stick?

It's part of the uniform.

If he has to stand inspection, he's got Abbas Cuffs in his stick.

I'm sure he's going to get an inspection anytime, man.

One thing about the Boss Man when it comes to viciousness,

there's probably not a more vicious man in wrestling.

Right to the thrift.

And the Slickster jumping in from the outside.

The Boss Man.

to just keep knocking him down.

You can hear the slicks in the background as you see the pain on the face of

Xaw Jim Duggan.

The boss man has dished out as much punishment as we've ever seen.

And look what the boss man's doing here, he's smothering Duggan.

He's got that chin lock on him and when he gets the chance,

he cups the hands over the nose and mouth so Duggan can't breathe.

Here's a guy that not only likes to dish out punishment, he can take it to and

like it.

Beautiful, baby, beautiful.

Hey, look out for a turkey.

Hacksaw trying to get up and a kick right to the ribs.

And now Hacksaw coming back.

The bus man though is relentless.

and jailed back to that face lock.

Staying right with him, Jess.

Face lock or was that a choke hole?

I don't know, it almost looked like

he was wrapping that leather finger on his neck.

The only thing that could have saved him.

And this year too, it's WrestleMania Day and I ain't no fool.

I know where I'll be this I'll be Skydoman in Toronto.

What an event it's gonna be.

We have some comments from some of the 30 participants in the Royal Rumble.

Here's what they had to say as we talked to them a little bit earlier today.

It's the Royal Rumble, baby, and we already know our number and it's right.

numbers are and we've got an opportunity to beat up on everybody else and that

lot of wet eyes out there when you see your 29 spineless cockroaches that you

we get so excited, we gotta take it easy.

The Royal Rumble's here.

You know something earlier,

we were about having to face each other.

We know by now that that's not gonna happen.

But there's 28 other guys we gotta worry about

and everybody get ready because the Rockers are coming at you.

That's right, don't matter who it is.

Powers of pain, I hope we get our hands on you.

But it doesn't matter.

Ultimate Warrior, Hulk Hogan, the Rockers are coming

and we're gonna rock and roll, strut and stroll

and we're gonna take care of business.

That's right, get ready, everybody.

The Rockers are coming at you.

Royal Rumble style, hot, flying and zetter.

Whoo!

The legacy, the destiny, it will be fulfilled today

because the mighty Hercules is ready to rumble.

No friendships here today.

So I'm sending out this warning

and you better listen to me and listen to me real, real good.

Friend of foe, I don't care who you are.

I'm gonna win this rumble roll today

because I've got the strength and I've got the...

Take a look at this profile, take a look at this one now.

Yeah, you like it, don't you?

I know it, and I'm touched, and believe me,

this afternoon nobody had the Royal Rumble, 30 man.

Nobody's gonna touch this beautiful face.

Yes, I've got it all, I've got it all, and you know it,

and I'm gonna prove it, that not only I look good,

but I am the best wrestler there is,

the best looking one, and the fittest one of them all.

tracks in such as Royal Rumble, then you and I as the worst, the most powerful firsts

in the WWF will continue to see it, only as another challenge, only as another day of

combat.

Twenty-eight of those normal men, stacked one on top of another, can't come close to the

feelings and the destinations from parts unknown.

is in himself, and I, the ultimate warrior, will fulfill another destiny.

Okay, Jesse, the Body Ventura, we've heard from many of the participants in the Royal

Rumble.

Each man sounds very confident going into the Royal Rumble, but I would think just right

now the butterflies are starting to mount.

Absolutely.

Every man has to have tremendous amount of confidence, but as I said before, there'll

be only one winner.

Confidence isn't going to win it for you out there alone.

It's also the luck of the draw.

The luck of the draw.

We already know the Million Dollar Man is draw number one.

Mr. Perfect has drawn number 30.

We have some more comments from other participants in the Royal Rumble.

Yeah, the Royal Rumble, yeah, in the Macho King Randy Savage style, and yeah.

And I realize that the American dream Dusty Rhodes would like to get even,

but it can't be possible because I'm concentrating on all the superstars in the World Wrestling Federation.

place to prove that. In the Royal Rumble, royalty, the Macho King Randy Savage is the

one person that nobody should bet against because you all go broke. Yeah, I am the winner

of the Royal Rumble and I told everybody before it happened to watch the Macho King. Watch

wrestling federation is one man that is royalty and then he's the macho king

Randy Savage

Mr. Fuji very selective in picking number for my powers of pain because you

don't know what Mr. Fuji is thinking because when I miss my powers of pain

and right on board anything

never ceases to amaze me what the human mind can come up with.

I mean, you think of the whole concept.

The Royal Rumble, this afternoon, you're

going to take 30 men, and every two minutes,

you're going to send somebody to that ring.

A fresh man.

So you're thinking to yourself, well, what number

might be the best?

Well, the last number would be the best.

But that doesn't really mean anything,

because there's still going to be a lot of hungry men out there.

And hopefully, I'll be one of those hungry men.

The man that wins this match is not

going to be the man that is the best wrestler, the best athlete.

It's gonna be the man that will do anything.

The man that will take that extra step.

Do just a little bit more than anybody else.

Maybe sacrifice a little bit more than anybody else.

Now me, that sounds just a lot like me.

Yeah!

Hey, man! Royal rumble, baby!

You got one man hitting that ring every two minutes.

It's really a nasty affair. Bodies are going everywhere.

in this Royal Rumble, one-on-one, survival of the fittest.

But the pink and black attack is back,

and we're ready to go the distance

in the Royal Rumble this year.

Yeah, baby!

Yeah!

Cookie, this is it, baby.

The chance we've been waiting on,

a chance for you to play all your hits, baby!

You better believe that the Honky Tonk Man's

gonna play all his hits.

In fact, the Honky Tonk Man's gonna play 29 of them.

I hope I'm the first one to go out there

because what the Honky Tonk Man's gonna do

is every two minutes, I'm gonna

You know what I'm saying?

The honky-tonk man is gonna be the winner today of the Royal Rumble.

The honky-tonk man will stand alone

and serenade hundreds of thousands of people.

Just like I told each and every one of you honkmaniacs out there,

I told you I'd be ready for the rumble today, man.

You know, I got here a little bit early.

I've seen a lot of the opponents.

walking up and down the hallways and they all seem competent, they all seem prepared,

but the one thing they don't realize is you gotta expect the unexpected, you gotta realize

with Hulkamania running wild, with Hulkamania at his peak right now, the strongest it's ever been,

no matter what type of shape, no matter how prepared you are for the Royal Rumble,

the one thing you can't compensate is the power of the pythons with all of my Hulkamaniacs behind

No friends! No enemies!

The single goal in the Royal Rumble is to prove...

What is the strongest force in the WWF?

I don't care if it's Dino Bravo,

the so-called strongest man in the world.

I don't care if it's Herculeese.

I don't care if it's the ultimate warrior.

I don't care if it's Mr. Perfect.

One by one, I'm gonna dig deep down inside,

pull that reserve energy out from the training,

the prayers, and the vitamins.

And once I beat all other 29 opponents,

I'm gonna show the whole WWF,

the whole world that nobody is more powerful

when it's at its peak, and what you're gonna do WWF when Hulkamania rummles all over you.

The stage is set, the combatants are ready, let's go to the fake.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time.

participants drew a number at random to determine the order in which they would enter.

In just a moment, numbers one and two will begin the event.

And every two minutes thereafter,

another wrestler will enter the ring according to the number he drew.

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

A wrestler must be thrown out of the ring over the top rope and

onto the floor.

The one wrestler remaining in the ring after all 30 have entered will be the winner.

And now introducing the participants.

First of all, the man who last year drew number 30.

Last year's Royal Rumble, as the Fink stated, the million-dollar man Ted DiBiase had number 30 last year this year faced with number one.

The individual who drew number two.

Now for the ride, right to the chest.

The million dollar man not wasting any moves at all.

Everything right on target.

Well early on the number one pick is an advantage for the million dollar man

because he was actually able to jump the bird man right when he entered the ring

thus getting an early advantage here.

Back into the corner.

He is leveling Coco beware.

had a chance to get any of them aerial tactics going.

Into the quarter again, and hit first.

Wrong thing to do, but now he should have learned.

Three times.

He's learning now.

You don't go after Koko's cranium.

Right to the eyes.

It's from Savage!

I've said it before it'll take five six eight guys

a lot of trouble in the corner.

Santana.

It's all for every man.

of the Superfly.

He can measure him, wham.

You're right, Jesse.

He nails Hogan.

He can have his way with him.

Wham, he nails the warrior.

Here's a guy who can eliminate both of these guys.

What a smart move and a luck of the draw on the part of the barbarian.

You're right about the luck of the draw.

And also the luck of the elimination too.

RUDE!

Got his leg hooked on the rope.

No.
