intercom medal champion he is the mountain he defeated but the hitman hard several

nights ago he will be contested by Roddy Roddy Piper the number one challenger

well far from concerned the mountain shows me class he deserves the title

Almost a half of time, as far as I'm concerned,

Jenny Hart told me LOD better packed their bags.

It's all over.

That and a whole lot more headed our way.

So let's get things going.

Let's go to O'Riggins.

When you work for Fuji you better be

See see I'm right

perfect combination of speed

agility and power

Well rocket might be he might with my opinion. I think the guys have nuts even to hang around with the end

But you got to be happy you'll be serious

The rocket and the ankle

I'm defeated so far here in the world wrestling Federation since forming this

so quickly here in the World Wrestling Federation.

Look at the new foundation, they must have just got up.

What do you mean, just got up?

Let's look at the pyjamas on you.

I'm not telling you to say that.

I don't care.

I'll tell you, my hands are sweating.

I am nervous.

I am really, really nervous.

Because I know, in a few short minutes,

he's gonna come back with the goal, I just feel it.

Well, what number did he draw, Brane?

Well, I'm not real sure.

I know him and Perfect have been together all day, but

I've been stuck with you all day.

Well,

drawing was held several hours ago.

How come you don't know what number the guy's got?

Give me a break there.

Well, I've been busy.

Well, before we get too very far along, let's tell you about the substitutions.

Marty Janetti, of course, everyone knows what went down there.

He ended up with a concussion, some contusions.

And also, nasty boy, Brian Nobs, a dislocated shoulder, he's out.

They are replaced by Nikolai Volkov and a friend of yours, Haku.

Wow, you know, now that's funny.

I'll tell you why.

Nikolai Volkov is well over 300 pounds, and Haku is around 300 pounds.

a different dimension now to the Royal Rumble.

It certainly does.

Well, you know, Brain, in an event like the Royal Rumble,

it's every man for himself and anyone on any given date

can be beaten.

So anybody could walk out of here as the new champion.

That's right.

Anyone could.

But only one man will.

And I think we all know who I'm talking about.

the odds on favorite in everyone's mind, I think Rainer of course has to be the

Hulkster. Don't you think so? Well, last year? Well, I imagine that he is the odds

on favorite to the humanoid contingent here.

Rainer of course, you've got a nice power move here by Owen Hart.

Watch this. Whoa, where's he going?

That's a dangerous move.

If I managed him, I'd never let him do something like that.

Too dangerous a move.

And I'm glad you're not managing him.

Going on it.

Here comes the powerhouse.

Well, you won't see him doing that.

I hope not.

He's the sane one of the team, isn't he?

I would, uh, I would think that way.

Guys, Goofy is a bad bug.

Nice block there, but look out.

Whoa, what awesome power possessed by D'Angelo.

Hard into the turnbuckle, nice reversal by Keto, but

just too much upper body power.

How are you gonna deal with that?

Plus he's nuts.

You gotta concern yourself with that.

And Tanaka is a master of all the martial arts.

He is.

Learned every benefit from Mr. Fujiwara.

for the short time they've been together.

Right, let's bring everybody up to date about what transpired last Friday in

Springfield Mass when Brett the Hitman Hart, with a temperature of 104 degrees

against Dr. Zorgers, entered the ring and tried to defend his.

came to the assistance of the Hitman, and he got now for his efforts.

But first of all, he had 104 temperature.

I've wrestled with 113 temperature, that's no big deal.

That's no big deal, he has.

First of all, I don't think the Mountie should have to defend the title here at

the Royal Rumble against Rodney Rodney Piper because it only happened a couple

of days ago, he isn't even prepared yet.

result of all that brain with the money and the hitman.

This is the first time ever in the history of the World Wrestling Federation.

Rowdy Roddy Piper has a chance to win not only the Intercontinental Battle

here today, but also the WWE title.

History definitely will be made here this afternoon, but what kind of history?

No one has ever had that opportunity.

Never, never.

And there's a guy that don't deserve it.

That guy don't deserve it.

Well, like you just said, anything can happen.

But I'll tell you, I knew it all along.

I knew it was just a matter of time till the Monty got his hands on the Hitman.

And showed everybody really, this is an excellence of execution.

Bujji trying to tell us that he had settled down, but what was that, I'm sorry.

It's just a matter of time until the Monty took Red Heart out.

Well, you know, he went against the doctor's orders.

Uh, he used his heart instead of his head.

Didn't want to disappoint all the fans at Springfield.

And just like that, Oyan Express has taken control of this one.

The rocket looks rather grounded, don't he?

Well, he did a couple of moves earlier on in the match and

would have put most guys away.

What a crescent kick that was.

I hope he's got number one myself.

Well, since he is the real world champion,

he shouldn't even be in the Royal Rumble.

The winner of the Royal Rumble should meet him.

happy about that count what a match this is another beautiful crescent kick

but this time by Tanaka he's got him over for the cover hooks the leg could be

all over now very slow count but at least he's consistent

situations like this, you've got to come in,

you've got to come to the rescue of your partner.

You see, that's why the Orient Express is such a good team.

They've kept the rocket in their corner for about five to seven minutes now.

They've cut the ring in half.

There's been no sign of the anvil.

I don't think the anvil wants it.

He's a tremendous competitor.

I doubt that very much.

He's nuts.

This is a great team.

Momentum is all with the Orient Express right now.

Just like the Midnight Express,

the Orient Express will be tough to derail.

Forget

All a steam right out of the rocket.

The rocket's more like a little smartphone now, isn't it?

Y'all fizzled out.

These guys are tremendous athletes'

brain, tremendous condition.

This is very good, very good.

That'll give you a negative attitude.

Fuji very happy now as he was very unhappy earlier on.

Three, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one,

two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two,

one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two,

There's no substitute for that, right?

The condition team is here, that's gonna determine our winner or who's craftier.

And who wants a win, Marbury?

How bad do you want it?

That's what it's all about, that's what it'll be all about in the Royal Rumble,

where it's every man for him.

These guys are highly intelligent.

They know how to prepare for every match.

Look at this, Shanna.

Bantai Mool by Tanaka.

I'm so proud of Mr. Fuji.

What a team.

Great teamwork.

And look, the rocket is still grounded in the corner.

But he's still hanging in there, isn't he?

Still on his feet after all this pounding.

into the corner here.

Obviously, Mr. Fuji's team got hooked

on that top turnbuckle, right into the shoulder,

quick, broke the team.

And look at this, the Rocket and the Rocket Launcher.

Well, one, two, three.

And now, let's join his lordship, Alfred Hayes.

As you probably already know, Bret Hart recently put up his intercontinental title against the Mountie.

This match took place in Springfield.

Now in this match, Bret Hart went into the ring against his doctor's advice,

and unfortunately for Bret Hart, he lost this match.

Well, losing to the Mountie now sets up the Mountie for a match against Robbie Piper.

Mountie really pommeled Bret Hart with that belt. Bret Hart don't forget was

incapacitated by a very high fever, a very weakened Bret Hart who lost the

Intercontinental Championship to the Mountie, but the Mountie not satisfied

with just taking that championship, that title away from Bret Hart. He had to

belabor him with these brutal kicks.

And now suddenly his attention was diverted because here comes the hotspot

Roddy Piper to the assistance of his family. Quite emphatically he says to the

Malvik, get out or pay the consequences. And now we see the treachery of the

Mountie. Watch him. He walks out of the ring. He steps there. Now for all purposes

Piper thinks that he's gone. So he turns around to tend to Bret Hart. He's trying to

revive Bret Hart and here comes the sneak attack from behind by the Mountie.

He pummels him with that championship belt and feels quite happy about the situation here.

He shows the belt to everybody but Piper's not satisfied with this.

Piper really wants to get to him.

And all this action here set up a situation whereby Piper is now challenging the bounty for that title.

Standing by my colleague, Sean Mooney, is with Jimmy Malthus South Hart and the new Intercontinental Champion, The Mountie.

The events that took place this past Friday evening in Springfield, Massachusetts definitely turned out to be a...

Shocking experience. Let me reiterate the fact that Brett the hitman Hart went to the ring against the advice of his doctors

With 104 degree temperature. I guess he's in general hospital somewhere, and I guess me in the mounting

I guess we better get him a good will card, but let me tell you something, baby. He's not sick with a flu

You know what he's sick from he's sick from

Comments like hey, I want to know something Jack Tony. What's the winning loss record of Piper?

What gives him the right to step in today?

notice I should have won this match today by forfeit but don't worry about it

Piper because the man that I am the champion that I am I'm gonna do to you

what I did to Bret Hart I took his pride his integrity and the belt away from

him you I'm gonna take your skirt your manhood and whatever's left because the

Roddy Piper, I can't believe a man, the Monty, who has held the Intercontinental Tile for less than 48 hours,

can be quite so cocky, quite so arrogant.

Well, you know what we're dealing with.

What is one of the original village people here?

With his mate Jimmy Hard to keep kissing the belt,

leaving all that lipstick on it.

I heard the money out here saying, first thing I'm going to do,

pounds his chest.

I don't know, hand me something.

First thing I'm going to do says,

I'm going to take Piper's integrity.

It's like Jakku's still trying to find a dry spot in the ocean.

I ain't got no damn integrity.

You think I got so far?

Second thing I'm going to do.

I'm gonna take Roddy Piper's manhood.

Huh?

Huh?

I come here to fight.

I don't know what you come here to do.

I come here to win two titles.

I can't do that till I win the first one.

I think you've been dreaming.

I think it's been all wet, too.

On that note, let's get back to ringside.

First time ever in the history of the World Wrestling Federation.

An individual wrestling contest.

It's a chance for winner, both titles, right?

I can't wait to see this one.

He's not going to want to slip through his fingers or something like that.

And with this punk in a breast, one of his intercontinental champions.

Rodney, standing ovation here for Rodney, Rodney Piper.

One of the states that would be to have that person represent the World Wrestling Federation

He's got more integrity.

the WWE Champion if he can still walk.

Hey, he's even said to done.

You know, he could blow both opportunities monsoon.

Well, that's possible.

I mean, you're making this guy have to be some kind of a King Kong giant.

No, I didn't say he was going to do it.

I just said no one has ever been given that opportunity before, brain.

No one has ever had the chance before to become both title holders on the same day.

Not even you.

much like a contender, does he?

Standing on the apron, scares the death of Jimmy Hyde.

That little runt, I'm telling you.

Obviously, I wasn't there, but you can bet.

Look at this, hot rod not wasting any time.

And Monty trying to get out of that.

wouldn't surprise me if that little rump was instrumental in the money becoming

the champion to begin with.

Just like he is now, getting involved in this match.

What's he doing?

He's standing there.

He never touched Piper.

He never jumped in the ring.

He's done nothing wrong.

And you're picking.

Look at him.

He's got that megaphone antagonizing everyone.

First amendment Mansoom.

Freedom of speech.

Yeah.

you know, being a broadcast journalist.

You have what right?

I can say whatever I want to, whoever I want, whatever I want.

As often as I want.

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

But still, a bulldog finds the mark.

He's gotta be nervous, he's gotta be nervous.

I mean, with all this on his mind, being able to catch the two titles or

blow two titles in one day.

He can't blow two titles, he doesn't have any brain.

Well, then he can't win two titles in one day.

Yes, he can.

Well, maybe he will.

Will you quit confusing me?

Well, as long as you're sitting here next to me, you don't have any rights.

I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.

Thank you.

Could I run back and find Mr. Perfett?

You're not going anywhere.

I like the plan of what number Rick got.

I think it's number one, that's what I heard.

I heard a rumor about it back.

Look at this.

Hey, how would you like a diet drinker song?

Let me run outside.

I'll get your stuff out.

Hot dog, huh?

That's the mustard.

No, heavy on the onion.

That's the way you like it.

Double-latch handle right to the back of the neck of Piper.

This one's turned into a slug fest.

Well, you don't want to slug it out with Piper.

He will fight you.

Absolutely not.

Whoa.

Nice move by Damadi.

Showed me a little something there.

What do you think he was grab kicking?

Cast with a go.

Looks to learn you're not gonna beat Piper like that.

Forget about it.

Come on, referee.

It shouldn't even be wrestling, Piper, to begin with.

You should have won this match by forthcoming.

How do you know?

Were you there in Springfield, Mass?

Did you see one went down?

No, but I'm here.

You know why President Josh Honey made him the number one challenger?

No, then why are you speculating?

Well, he stuck his nose in.

Where are you going?

How do you know that?

That's what I'm talking about.

You weren't there, Piper went down.

You were with me.

I don't like being with you.

Wow.

anything that bad to have to

spend all the time with you

lately.

Biggest mistake of all of course

made by Brett the hit man

entering the ring with 140

temperature after the doctor

pleading with him please don't

go out there you're a sick

person what a wuss.

his heart in front of his head and just thinking about the fans and

how they spent their hard-earned money to come down there and see him see the hitman.

What a competitor.

Yeah, what a gutsy guy.

What made a big mistake?

Come on.

What an idiot.

Come on.

You take the easy way, take it pal.

Sunset from the outside by Hottie.

Like I said, I've had 113 temperature.

Watch, I aced a little bit, but I still went rough, look at that.

Got a little under the weather.

Get a life, William Brayn, on it at 13, you'd be dead.

I took a half on the St. Joseph, asked me for children.

Knocked it right out of me.

The old flavored one.

Children's bear, is that what you're talking about?

Whoa, right alongside the jaw.

What a shot that was.

What a flimsy excuse to make that he had 104 temperature.

What's Piper's excuse today?

300 degree temperature?

Piper will make some excuse like he didn't capture the title.

Oh, nice go behind.

Atomic drop.

He's got him across the Adam's apple.

The green looking right there, look out.

Jimmy Hart's got the shot, Nick.

In the meantime, Kamadi is baiting.

Jimmy, do something.

two titles this afternoon.

What do you think the output?

How many people even get a shot at one title in a lifetime in a career?

And now back to his lordship, Alfred Hayes.

I'm standing outside the immortal ones dressing room, Hulk Hogan.

And this is a Colosseum video exclusive.

We're going to go in and see if we can get a word with the great Hulkster.

Hulk Hogan, do you mind?

Fine thank you a word about the rumble if you could yeah

I'll give you a word about the rumble if I could you know

You're lucky that you and calls him video friends are friends of the holsters brother because later this afternoon

It's just a little teeny while. I'm not gonna have any friends

I'm going to the Royal Rumble to defeat 29 other superstars.

I'm going to the Royal Rumble to get the WWF title back around the Hulkster's waist.

And now the Colosseum video, all my fans out there, now you know you won't be my friends

if you get in the ring with me.

I'm glad you came by to see me now, Alfred.

You know, this is my cup of tea and you know a lot about tea, my friend.

But we're not going to be sipping tea.

I'm going to throw all those dudes out, get the WWF title back,

and you better get out of here.

I'm getting ready.

I got the feeling I better get out now before I'm thrown out.

Back to the ringside.

Let's join right now, Mean Jean Oakland.

Right around the corner, tag team action involving the Beverly

brothers with the genius in their corner,

facing the Bushwhackers, Jamison in their corner.

And I got to tell you, Luke, I have never

seen the three of you so ready in my life.

Mean Jean, I've never been excited in all my life.

Beverly sisters this is your final fling and genius we have a surprise for you

don't we cousin but oh yeah and that surprise is in front of millions and

millions of all our bushwhackaroos mean gene and when we get finished with those

Beverly sisters and the genius we're gonna feed them all to our mate bloody James

That's me just give me one minute along with that genius. I'm gonna

Do you have mr. Blackwell's telephone number? Oh, maybe he's got yours. Thank you very much. Let's get back

Here's our class at Family Brothers, Bow and Blake.

Five hundred, Jamison wants one minute with the genius.

He wouldn't last five seconds.

The Family Brothers.

I would assume that the genius is going to, yes he is.

I hope so, this guy, this guy needs psyche.

Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, the genius has a poem for us all.

This is an educating experience.

You might learn something.

It's a haircut.

Rejoice in all the splendor of the Brothers Beverly.

As they fulfill my genius master plan.

And I, the genius must defile that waste of human tissue.

That Jameson who calls himself a man.

understanding was left at Grand Central Station with no note or anything.

Look at this, Luke and Vox staring him up here in the Nicaragua.

The Jameson used to come home from school every day and find out that his parents had moved.

Will you stop?

They used to rap his lunch in a road map.

Could I run to the back?

I know where you'd go.

You'd run right back there and try to find out because you're getting a little paranoid.

I give you my word.

About what number?

I give you, Rick Flair, it's not.

I give you my word, I won't go back.

Your word isn't, and it's good.

Let me just go get a diet drink for you.

No, I've got, I can get, I can have something brought right up here.

Yeah, but I know just how you like your dog.

Yeah.

How the luck of the draw went, you weren't concerned, and

now you're becoming paranoid as to our approaches.

I'm not concerned, I would just like to know, I'm kind of nosy.

Hey, I'd be concerned if I was gonna lose my meal ticket.

Well, what do you mean lose my meal ticket?

I guess that other piece of garbage that you deal with,

that executive consultant, I guess he sort of,

he doesn't care too much about what you think, didn't even have the comic.

Say, hey, look, this is the number we got.

Well, see, I told him, don't concern yourself with that.

He said, I'm not gonna worry about it.

Obviously, he's not concerned about it, or he would have mentioned it to me.

That's the only reason he hasn't approached me with it yet.

Well, that's the first time I've ever heard of a couple of leeches not being concerned.

I just like to know it's about to start this match at the bell is run. I get so

warmed up when these guys come out here.

The man's down there. The bell ringer has to work at Notre Dame.

a tremendous tag team combination here with the Beverly Brothers.

They've been doing tremendously well here in the World Wrestling Federation.

With their eyes set of course on the title.

Currently in the hands of Adam Olin Hawk,

the Legion of Doom who will be defending it later on against the natural disaster.

Well, that's gonna change, like I said, you're not gonna.

What's he eating?

He found something under the ring.

Jameson, he can't hurt you with words.

Yeah, what could he say to you that hasn't been said?

You moron, would you be serious?

Yeah!

You better be careful what you say here, you know.

Everything you say is going to be scrutinized and magnified, and you could be in deep

trouble.

I'll tell you.

I'm more trouble than you're in right now.

President, I'm all kind of trouble on my end.

President Tony, did you even throw in his way to Raleigh?

Raleigh's finally making some decisions, at least he came out of that clam shell he was in.

You know, I could make it a lot easier for him, I could make it real easy for him.

All you have to do is step down, move me right in as President of the World Wrestling Federation.

Bingo, that would be the end of the presidency of the WWE.

If you got your hands on it in any way, shape or form.

Look at that pig, he looks hot, come on.

Hey, at least he doesn't wipe it on his sleeve, did he?

He wiped it on his sock, what's the difference?

How could you tell?

Yeah!

You can always tell when the Bushwackers are in a major arena around the country.

Because there's usually four of them.

here at the Nicaragua Arena for this most prestigious event.

Good check.

Stop things sort of backfiring here.

Whoa, these guys are quick.

They're anticipating moves that the Beverly's are gonna do.

I'll tell you, how do you prepare to wrestle a Bush Whackers?

You've got that human trash can at ringside.

You guys got scum in it.

Then you got both the Bushwackers who are living proof that the Three Stooges

didn't have children.

How do you prepare to wrestle?

I'm gonna have you taken out of here in a second.

Good, right now have me taken out.

And locked up somewhere, where you can't find out what the number is.

For telling the truth?

Please.

You're just unhappy because you retired as a manager, and

now you can't manage the Bushwackers.

You're-

What?

Manage the Bushwackers.

Tell him, Jamison, what to manage them to an electric chair.

Imagine the smell of Sardines, Bryant, and Old Sparky.

Well, this is a first here, first time ever that Jamison has been down at ringside.

As the, I don't know whether to call him a mascot or a manager.

I think he's a nuisance, he's a nuisance.

He needs to come here and have him put away.

I think he needs one of those pushback or outfits.

I'll tell you what he needs, he needs to be put to sleep.

Oh, he's gonna stop.

Come on, come on, come on.

Back and forth, this match has been going.

He needs to be vacuumed is what he really needs, or Steve Mose.

Nice backbreaker.

I get excited and start thinking about dollar signs.

That's what happens to me when I get excited.

Two count only.

Another quick tag made, but not a referee.

You know, by looking at Jamison, I can tell, look at this move.

Small to the back.

Right into it.

Jamison wears all designer clothes.

Did you know that?

Look at that, look at that pig, obviously had a blowout there on the right shoe.

Had a repair kit with him though.

Yeah, he is smart, you gotta get him credit for that.

He put the white tape right around his shoe.

That's a move I would have done, monsoon.

You don't have the money to buy another pair, you do whatever you can do with these hard

times.

How come he doesn't have money?

And he got into school and got an education.

He could have got him, he could have had himself a good job, but no.

He wants to leech off the government and my good tax money.

Tell you, almost $200 last year.

Will you stop?

Team Carol, that scumbag.

Things not going too well at the moment for the Bushwackers.

As they fall on the part of the hard times here.

He went to the beach last year on the Corning Island.

They wouldn't let him go in the water.

Nice move there.

Look, there's a guy with a sign.

Be fair to player.

Don't start.

What the sign says?

I mean, the guy's showing that he's fair.

You didn't hit your heart enough, you're still breathing.

What right did the genius have to do that?

What a gutsy guy, huh, the genius?

To slap?

No, the genius didn't even touch the dirt ball.

Gee, look at the redness on his cheek.

Is it bleeding?

No, it's not bleeding, Jameson.

You'll be all right.

All we need for him is to start bleeding here.

That's about all the genius could do is slap somebody.

The pace here, Bushwhackers really deceiving the neckbreaker.

Here we go, it's over.

Well executed.

Boy, that one comes right down on the back of your neck, right on an external

occipital protuberance.

A what?

Oh, protuberance.

Play the back of the neck, keep it simple for the humanoid.

Keep it simple for the humanoid.

Offcipital protruding.

People don't understand what you're talking about.

You would not understand.

I understand.

Ring the bell, pal.

We have seen one title match here tonight and another one right around the corner the natural disasters

Challenging hawk and animal the Legion of Doom for the World Tag Team Championship belt

That's right me Jean as we said before the Legion of Doom will never be closet champions

We will face all challenges like we've done in the past and now

Thank you very much. Let's get back to ringside

up in the air and toss them around like some cabbage patch dolls.

Uh-uh, there's your new champions.

Rain, the edge always lies with the champions for one simple reason.

The title can only change hands on pitfall or submission.

Any other result leads you to do could lose the match,

but still walk out of here as a champion.

championship, he can't worry about what happened with Piper in the night.

He was a family responsible for

probably the mountain winning and also the mountain losing.

Jimmy's a pro.

Swing shot and oh shoulder block doesn't even punch Typhoon and another one and the same result

Those who have the gold and those who want it.

You want them, you want them, get it to me.

Earthquake says I want-

Oh

to the chair downstairs in the bread basket goes earthquake but look at the

speed here

That's what it takes to put the big guy down.

Somebody told me once, I forget who it was.

When you run in the Adam O'Hawk, it feels like they ran into you.

You understand that?

Yeah, I can understand that.

Yeah.

Tag was made and he's talking to now and, excuse me.

Obviously, these guys got that adrenaline flow.

through their bodies right now as they seem just to be impervious to Payne.

Look at this power in his way.

The Hawk has been grounded, a little salt on his tail.

He's got to move their weight, they've got to sap all the strength out of him.

Right in the kidney area.

We got it, right here, one, could be all over him now.

How did he get out of that instinct?

He's just going on fumes, picks him up like a little child.

Could be a different ball, come on, come on, you, going in the back.

Hey, ask for a miss, what, get this guy out of here, he has no business here.

He works for me, he works for me, that's it, take him out of here.

They're wasting their great deal of their time.

Because Animal and Huck, they're not gonna give up.

No, but you beat them down enough, you can't bet them.

Well, they're not gonna quit.

No, they won't quit.

I'll give you that.

But you beat them down enough, and then get on top of them.

They're not gonna be able to push out with a bad back.

That's possible.

We just witnessed an incredible matchup involving the Legion of Doom and the natural disasters.

Hawk and animal retained the belts, but obviously earthquake and typhoon are not going to be

pleased and they are going to demand a rematch, I'm sure, sometime soon. Now I'm hoping to get a

word with the challengers, but they are at this point here. Wait a minute, Jimmy Hart coming in

We should be the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions.

I am gonna call my lawyer, I'm gonna get my attorney,

I am fed up with this, I am fed up to hear with this.

They should be the champions.

I'm sick of that.

I'm sick of that.

I'm sick of that.

I'm sick of that.

We're not good titles.

I can't believe it.

What happened?

How come they were taken away?

Well, you know it's, you have to,

it must be a pinball to,

maybe some people see it.

Maybe some people see what happened there.

These guys are the champion, I'm calling our attorney.

I'm getting a lawyer because we're not gonna let these guys get away with that.

No way baby, we're fed up.

This is it baby, this is it.

I'm sorry, that is the official word.

If we get our hands on you again, we will be the champions.

Hocking animal, still the reigning tag team champions right now.

Let's go back out to ringside.

Rump certainly has those guys brainwashed.

The rules are very explicit, Brain.

The only way the title can change hands is pinball or submission.

Everything else doesn't count.

You could be declared a winner, but you don't go home with the marbles.

Hey, if he needs a good lawyer, I got a couple of them in Beverly Hills.

Working a good price, too.

I'll help Jimmy out.

They were that close from taking those titles.

They were that close.

Two big titles here to WWF have already been decided, of course, as we just saw.

These guys retaining their gold, right now, let's take you to Mean Gene.

All right, thank you, Gorillamonson and Bobby Heenan.

Congratulations are in order for you, Roddy Roddy Piper, the new Intercontinental Champion.

One more time, baby, only in America, where else can a skinny 15-year-old kid come on down

and become champion and have a chance at the world champion?

They're gonna be dirty, guys.

I'm gonna have them fall down like President Bush.

Thank the good Lord, the press got up.

Damn, they ain't gonna be so lucky

because I got a dream.

I do have a dream and I got my eye.

on the prize.

Dedicate this one to Colt.

All right, Roddy Roddy Piper, one down, one to go.

Indeed, if he were to win the Royal Rumble,

he would be making World Wrestling Federation history, folks.

It is exciting.

Once again, I hope there is some kind of order with Sean Mooney.

Let's go to you.

Thank you, Jane. The second half of the Royal Rumble still to come for the first time in

World Wrestling Federation history, 30 superstars will be involved in the championship bout.

And as you can see, there is a great deal of tension here in the locker room. Understandably

so as each participant has the chance to become the next World Wrestling Federation Champion.

Now there are some favorites. There are also some underdogs. Excuse me, Shawn Michaels.

Big opportunity coming your way this afternoon unfortunately I cannot say the same for your

should I say now former tag team partner. Folks you heard some of the details earlier for those

of you who missed that appalling incident that knocked Genetti out of the Royal Rumble.

Let's take a look back and see what happened just one week ago on The Barber Shop.

That game specialist.

See, one without the other isn't any good.

Oh, I knew he was gonna do that.

I just knew he was gonna do that.

He don't need Janetti.

I told you that, off and on.

Are you kidding?

What a despicable act that was.

John Michaels, I have to say that was one of the most heinous acts I have ever witnessed.

You know, I don't know what the big deal is.

Think about it, Jeanette, I saved you 29 other beatings.

I mean, sure, you know, not as bad as the one I gave you, but 29 beatings nonetheless.

And you know, is there any doubt in my mind that I'm going to be walking home with the World Wrestling Federation heavyweight championship title?

Think so. Now everybody is going to find out what Shawn Michaels has known all along.

That he is without a doubt the hottest thing the World Wrestling Federation has ever, ever laid eyes on.

The only thing on the mind of Shawn Michaels is the World Wrestling Federation championship. Let's go back out to ringside.

And now, let's join his lordship, Alfred Hayes!

I've managed to get myself into the dressing room of Ric Flair for this Colosseum video exclusive.

Tell me, Mr. Flair, how did you fare in the Royal Rumble draw?

Lord Alfred, I drew number three.

To a lot of people out there, they'd say,

my God, what a disadvantage you're going at.

But look at it like this.

Your name is Ric Flair.

When you're the claimant to the real World Heavyweight Championship,

you know that to make everybody a believer,

that I've got to beat 29 other men.

So, argument number three,

that means I'll be in there close to an hour.

It makes no difference.

When I walk out, I will be the World Wrestling Federation Champion

against all odds, and that's the bottom line.

That is the bottom line from Ric Flair,

so now, back to the ringside.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And now, back to me, Gene Okola!

The winner of the Royal Rumble as the undisputed World Wrestling Federation champ undoubtedly

will be defending that title at WrestleMania 8 in Indianapolis at the Hoosierdome on Sunday,

April the 5th. Now, we had occasion to talk to some of the participants in the Royal Rumble,

even now at the 11th hour. Let's get their thoughts.

Yeah, the Royal Rumble, the single greatest wrestling event in

match ever in the history of the World Wrestling Federation.

Competition, yeah, against 29 of the greatest wrestlers in the world,

and only one man can win the prestigious World Wrestling Federation

championship belt.

I've won it before, I've been there before, I've been to the top of the mountain.

And I'm going back, I'm going back this afternoon.

Two things I want to accomplish this afternoon, yeah.

Number one, sometime I want to get my hands on the snake man.

And the other thing is, yeah, I want to, once again,

be the world wrestling federation champion.

Oh, yeah, dig it.

See, it is this simple.

the man who is standing last in the Royal Rumble will be the World Wrestling Federation champion.

So all I ask you to do is open your eyes and it will hit you in the head like a shot,

for you are looking at the man that is superior to all. You are looking at the next World Wrestling

You are looking at Sid Justice.

Hey, psst. Come here. Now, closer.

You know, one of the biggest thrills in my life

is when I get to take something,

and today I got the opportunity.

to take the biggest prize ever from 29 of the best wrestlers in the World Wrestling Federation.

And you know something, wouldn't it be just great, the World Wrestling title, right around my waist,

the repo man, what a throw.

Because remember, what's mine is mine.

And what's yours is mine too.

The last time the British Bulldog was in a mice like this was in the Royal Albert Hall in London, England, my home town.

And what a thrill it was for me to dispose of 19 other opponents over the top rope and stand victorious in the hallowed halls of the Royal Albert Hall.

But what a bigger thrill it's gonna be this afternoon

when the British Bulldog steps in the Royal Rumble

and disposes of 29 other opponents

and gets the World Wrestling Federation

Heavyweight Championship belt around my waist.

That will truly be a Royal Rumble.

They say you can't always get what you want,

but I've always been able to get what I need.

This afternoon, the World Wrestling Federation Championship belt is on the line.

For 29 other men, it's gonna be a big disappointment.

Now I would never disappoint myself, you I don't mind.

And Savage, believe me when I tell you, I'll be waiting for you.

Yeah, I'll save some for you.

And I'll have just enough left to walk out with that title around my waist.

Trust me.

You're looking at the next World Wrestling Federation champion.

You're looking at the man who rocks the cradle.

Mere, mere on the wall.

Today we find out who's the fastest of them all.

We're at the Royal Rumble and 30 of the greatest

World Wrestling Federation superstars gathered today to find out...

Once more, World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Champion.

You know something, Hulkamaniacs?

Later on this afternoon, we get to prove a point

that no one else could prove except us, man.

In one given afternoon, we're gonna prove

to the whole world the power of Hulkamania.

We're gonna prove that we can beat all-

29 other superstars in the World Wrestling Federation to get our WWF title back.

Yeah, winning the Royal Rumble is one thing, the most prestigious event in the WWF.

But when you add the WWF title on top of that, that changes the whole picture, man.

But Hulkamaniacs, this is our cup of tea.

They're gonna be coming from all different directions.

Friend or foe, they're all the same in the rumble.

But it's just like always, we're always getting

cheap-shotted by one of our so-called friends.

We're always getting cheap-shotted by a no-good jack-tunny.

But this is our cup of tea.

And in the Royal Rumble, we're gonna prove that Hulk may be a reign supreme.

But to all those people in Titan Tower, in the WWF offices,

don't worry about the Undertaker or Jake the Snake stealing that belt man.

Me and my little holsters have a special battle plan for the Royal Rumble.

And what's it gonna do when Hulk Hogan and his little holsters

the individuals who drew number one, and number two will be King of the Royal Rumble.

And every two minutes thereafter, another individual will enter the ring according to the number he pulled.

Remember, in the Royal Rumble, it is every man, son, and

elimination occurs when a wrestler is thrown out over the top and onto the floor.

Rumble and the one man remaining after all 30 participants have entered

will be crowned the undisputed World Wrestling Federation champion.

Very simple, it's over the top and down to the concrete to be eliminated.

To make a brief statement prior to the Rumble's beginning, it gives me a great

deal of pleasure to introduce to you the esteemed president of the World Wrestling

Jack on the take, Tony.

Thank you very much, Howard.

I would like to take this opportunity to officially welcome

everyone who is watching this spectacular event with us.

The winner of this event will not only have the prestige

of beating 29 other men, but will also be declared-

the undisputed World Wrestling Federation Champion.

Come on, let's go.

I would like to say in closing, made the best man win.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, thank you.

Thank you, Mr. President.

He's been the best president since Noriega, will you please, sir?

And now, ladies and gentlemen, let us all find out who drew number one for

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come

I mean, the first and second out here could be in there for a long time.

I believe it was last year, brain.

Last year's Royal Rumble where a billion dollar man was in there for

an excessive 30 minutes.

Yeah.

Well, let's set the record straight.

It is the model of Rick Martell who has the record 53 minutes and

I believe 14 seconds.

The one who was in there, the longest,

the one who was in there, the shortest,

a very dubious side, goes to Bushlock and Luke,

I believe it was, four.

I'm gonna have to apologize to the people.

I don't think I can really be objective.

I'm gonna have to make-

What have you ever been objective?

right up until the end.

I'll stand a chance, I'll make you a force.

A single match.

Take your time smart guy

Who's out so far?

DBSI is saying, right?

So that means there is a chance for-

So that means coming close to 20 minutes for Davy Boy.

not long to get warmed up.

And don't forget, still the time, Randy Macho Man Savage,

Sgt. Slaughter, The Undertaker, Hulk Hogan, all former WWF champions.

How about the Randy?

setting in on this youngster.

We didn't want to flip every corner, he didn't want Flare to go any more than 30.

We figured he'd get number maybe 18 or 20, that'd be all right.

We never expected he'd be job like this and be given number three.

Brain, why don't you just forget about it, Brain?

I told you, no one ever has drawn numbers one through five.

the winner wouldn't it?

That's right, I'm going to sit here and answer, wouldn't it?

No.

testament to the conditioning of these athletes.

Shawn Michaels has been out there a while too.

Look at, listen to the hammer just pounding away, Flair.

Listen at that.

Shawn Michaels face down in the center of the ring, not the place to be.

Davey Boy back on Flair again.

This isn't right.

I think it's fair.

That didn't take long, did it?

You know, just when you're least expected,

when you think you're doing so great,

when you think you've got everything under control from the blind side,

here comes somebody, and you're out of there.

I must

how you treat it.

Seven seconds.

You're so problem with brain

He can dump him, I know he can dump him if that happens.

Hot Rod could have taken him right out of there with a shoulder block or a drop kick.

As Claire just pated, he choked the life out of him.

And another contestant about to emerge, five seconds and counting.

He's gonna get him up on his feet to throw him out though.

Who's it gonna be?

He knows what he's doing, you don't wanna get involved, he's too smart for that.

He's inviting Piper over, Piper could be doing permanent damage.

Piper's got the right idea, he's holding on to Plerr.

Thank you, Jake, thank you.

Jake broke that up in a hurry.

Look at Plerr's out here.

It's a kill, it's not a skirt, it's a kill.

It's a figure four by Rick Flair on Jake The Snake.

All right, look at Ronnie, he's giving it the ball for that.

Well, you know the creek, you skirt wearing freak.

It's not a kill, it's a skirt.

I can't believe Flair's still on his feet.

I'm soaking wet, my shirt, I'm soaking wet.

We were jottin' on soon, we were jottin'.

It's a conspiracy, Hulk Hogan has something to do with this.

And look at this, look at this.

Flair had an opportunity there to step aside as the other guys were mixing it up.

But now, walk right in there, continue the battle.

He's the real world champion, as far as I'm concerned.

He's been put to sleep, and he's still fighting life because he wants it.

He's a champion, he's what a champion is made of.

There he is, man, a champion to the end.

Look at this, by Roddy Piper, and now they're just duking it out.

Piper and Flair.

This isn't fair, this isn't fair to Flair.

made him pay the price for wearing it.

Look at that flair, he's still fighting.

Flair just teetering along with Hot Rod on that top rope.

Look at this double knock and knock there by Hacksaw.

He broke that up in a hurry.

You notice that every time that buzzer goes off, Jake the snake turns around.

And he's worried, that's in the back of his mind, as much as he wants that WWF gold.

He doesn't want any part of Macho Man Savage.

Remember, he's a man that slapped Elizabeth in the face, and he knows how Savage feels.

Sid Justice, the Hulkster, who's won it for the past two years in a row.

Sergeant Slaughter and the Macho Man, Randy Satter.

Well, we reached that point where the Hulkster, along with the Undertaker,

were given that preferential treatment.

That just shows submersion, go down there, throw the call.

Can you believe it?

the Undertaker with the whites of his eyes.

That's the place to be down on the canvas.

Inter while Rumble, you're gonna try to stay on your feet whenever possible.

Look at Flair, Flair's still moving, he still wants to fight.

Is that a champion monsoon?

It certainly is, no question about it.

Hey, I gotta give him credit too.

Piper just won the Intercontinental title and he's still in there,

Can you believe this, where is dishin' off offensive maneuvers?

He's just trying to lift the Undertaker.

He did not, what will he know, deliberate.

I don't see him, where is he?

No, there he is.

Still in there.

He's still fighting Randy Savage.

Have you lost your mind?

Are you nuts?

Take it easy.

Go underneath the bottom rope, go under the ring, and right along.

Rapidly approaching 45 minutes.

Weasel your way out.

I never thought I'd say that.

But weasel your way out if you have to.

Weasel your way out.

This is the final hour, man, son.

Look at his eyes, look at his eyes.

Flair, Flair, Flair on the apron.

He's on the apron.

Are you nuts?

He's trying to suplex, sadly, job over that top, but

the Macho Man has hooked that bottom rope.

He's gonna turn this around with a suplex of his own, it looks like.

Here comes the Undertaker, yes.

I'm surprised he's even, I'm surprised he's still standing, he's still can move.

10 minutes for Rick!

I need something to drink, you stupid, give me something to drink.

It is a tremendous feat.

I would lose a draw.

You're gonna have to recognize him as the real world champion.

Cuz for 60 minutes now, he has taken him to the greatest of the World Wrestling

Federation and he's still there fighting.

Well, I said earlier on,

Brain, nobody picks numbers one through five and he's still there at the end.

and draw number three, he's made history.

Inside, only moments ago.

No, no, wait, Savage is still in there.

Macho Man's still in there.

We had four in there, only moments ago, and the spinner,

the alligator man, Skinner, has been eliminated.

Well, there's one long shot, you won't have to worry about.

Look, you can tell how everybody fears Flair so much.

As soon as they get in, they go right after him.

That's the man you gotta get out.

You gotta get Flair out.

what it's all about, every man for himself.

Fleer perched up there on the top turn.

Hit him.

Hit him.

Look at his chest, Monsoon, he's beaten right.

He is, right now, the all-time record holder in excess of 55 minutes.

Congratulations, Art Arner for Ric Flair.

Give him the title, that's good enough for me.

No, I'm not giving him the title.

I'm telling you, Monsoon, if he wins this.

We'll never say or do anything bad again.

Montello just about to be eliminated there by the Hulkster.

And look at this, Flare is still attacking.

Oh, there's 4-0!

in his body pretty soon, he's not gonna be able to move.

I bet he's lost over 10 pounds already.

How long has he been in there now?

Oh, he's been in there for a while.

And about an hour, it's coming up on 58 minutes.

We've only got one entry left, no secret involved here.

The guy who, June 30th, is gonna be coming out in five seconds,

and there'll be no surprise, it is the warlock.

Look at this. I can't sit anymore.

being should have to go through this.

Look at this, look at this.

Look at the beef, going to where the beef is, there's the beef back.

Justice and Sabbath.

Well, just about said, goodbye to his chances.

But he proved everybody wrong.

Everybody in the world now knows what Ric Flair can do.

What kind of man he is.

Right now we understand we've got it going on.

Let's go to meet Gene.

I'll kill you.

All right, five, virtual.

World Wrestling Federation champion as the press watches on at this time to

Rumble.
