1
00:00:01,184 --> 00:00:06,122
Over 80,000 fans
welcome you to SummerSlam.
2
00:00:06,623 --> 00:00:09,859
{\an8}SummerSlam, the
hottest show of the year.
3
00:00:09,859 --> 00:00:11,828
WWE Summertime Spectacular has
thrilled audiences
4
00:00:11,828 --> 00:00:14,030
for nearly four decades.
5
00:00:14,030 --> 00:00:16,399
And it's produced some truly
iconic moments.
6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:18,068
Here comes Michaels.
7
00:00:18,068 --> 00:00:19,235
Incredible.
8
00:00:19,235 --> 00:00:21,104
The massive title
changes-
9
00:00:21,104 --> 00:00:22,272
Oh, he got him.
10
00:00:23,106 --> 00:00:24,107
He got him.
11
00:00:24,107 --> 00:00:25,275
to legendary clashes.
12
00:00:25,275 --> 00:00:27,577
No.
13
00:00:28,111 --> 00:00:30,146
Let's take a look back
at the biggest party of the
14
00:00:30,146 --> 00:00:33,183
summer during one of the most
prolific decades of professional
15
00:00:33,183 --> 00:00:35,351
wrestling history, the 1990s.
16
00:00:36,419 --> 00:00:39,355
This is WWE's Greatest Moments.
17
00:00:40,590 --> 00:00:42,559
Ooh, yeah.
18
00:00:46,196 --> 00:00:48,731
If you smell-
19
00:00:48,731 --> 00:00:50,433
Oh, my God, what
the hell are you doing?
20
00:00:50,433 --> 00:00:53,636
Absolutely
unbelievable.
21
00:00:54,137 --> 00:00:55,839
Hulkamania is
here.
22
00:01:02,812 --> 00:01:04,280
{\an8}Hello, everyone, and
welcome
23
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:05,548
{\an8}to WWE's Greatest
Moments.
24
00:01:05,548 --> 00:01:08,184
{\an8}I'm Michael Cole, and
on this edition,
25
00:01:08,184 --> 00:01:10,787
we're reminiscing about the most
jaw-dropping and exciting
26
00:01:10,787 --> 00:01:13,823
moments from the
SummerSlams of the 1990s.
27
00:01:14,691 --> 00:01:16,392
Are you guys ready
for the hottest night
28
00:01:16,392 --> 00:01:17,627
of the summer?
29
00:01:18,261 --> 00:01:20,029
Welcome, ladies and
gentlemen, to SummerSlam.
30
00:01:22,632 --> 00:01:24,634
As we entered the
1990s, the Ultimate Warrior's
31
00:01:24,634 --> 00:01:27,403
rise through WWE was one to
behold.
32
00:01:28,304 --> 00:01:30,507
Steamrolling through opponents
en route to a WrestleMania
33
00:01:30,507 --> 00:01:33,877
showdown with Hulk Hogan for
both the WWE
34
00:01:33,877 --> 00:01:36,112
and Intercontinental
Championships.
35
00:01:37,313 --> 00:01:40,150
We have a new World
Wrestling-- champion.
36
00:01:40,617 --> 00:01:42,852
Warrior's victory
cemented him as a top star
37
00:01:42,852 --> 00:01:46,156
in WWE and soon became a
target for many superstars to go
38
00:01:46,156 --> 00:01:49,993
after, including one
"Ravishing" Rick Rude.
39
00:01:50,827 --> 00:01:53,563
I'm coming to get
you, Ultimate Warrior.
40
00:01:56,065 --> 00:01:57,267
"Ravishing"
Rick Rude,
41
00:01:57,267 --> 00:02:03,039
you will feel the full fury of
the Ultimate Warrior.
42
00:02:04,908 --> 00:02:06,075
And the two were set
to clash
43
00:02:06,075 --> 00:02:09,345
at SummerSlam 1990
inside a steel cage.
44
00:02:14,584 --> 00:02:16,152
{\an8}The Ultimate Warrior
defends the championship-
45
00:02:16,152 --> 00:02:17,554
{\an8}In a
cage.
46
00:02:17,554 --> 00:02:19,055
{\an8}again challenging
"Ravishing" Rick Rude.
47
00:02:19,055 --> 00:02:20,523
In a cage, baby.
48
00:02:20,523 --> 00:02:22,192
SummerSlam 1990,
49
00:02:22,859 --> 00:02:24,127
{\an8}Steel Cage match.
50
00:02:24,527 --> 00:02:25,795
And it was a grueling match.
51
00:02:25,795 --> 00:02:26,262
Oh.
52
00:02:26,262 --> 00:02:27,063
Ooh.
53
00:02:27,063 --> 00:02:28,264
Oh, no.
54
00:02:28,498 --> 00:02:29,299
{\an8}Working
with Rick
55
00:02:29,299 --> 00:02:30,867
{\an8}was just an
absolute joy.
56
00:02:30,867 --> 00:02:32,669
{\an8}Once you get so comfortable
in a match,
57
00:02:32,669 --> 00:02:34,571
{\an8}you can just do it without
even thinking.
58
00:02:34,571 --> 00:02:36,306
{\an8}Just show up at the ring,
and it just happens.
59
00:02:36,873 --> 00:02:38,074
We have to have a victor
here.
60
00:02:38,074 --> 00:02:39,943
We could be here all
night.
61
00:02:39,943 --> 00:02:41,311
From the top, no.
62
00:02:41,311 --> 00:02:42,946
Oh, God.
63
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,148
It was the
perfect matchup.
64
00:02:45,148 --> 00:02:48,151
There was no one you loved more
than the Ultimate Warrior and
65
00:02:48,151 --> 00:02:50,954
{\an8}probably no one you hated than
"Ravishing" Rick Rude.
66
00:02:52,122 --> 00:02:53,256
Going for the door.
67
00:02:53,256 --> 00:02:54,023
He's got him.
68
00:02:54,023 --> 00:02:54,824
He's gonna be out.
69
00:02:54,824 --> 00:02:56,159
Trying to pull Bobby Heenan in.
70
00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:57,427
He just might do that.
71
00:02:57,427 --> 00:02:59,395
Oh.
72
00:03:01,231 --> 00:03:02,832
The Ultimate
Warrior, he-he's in control.
73
00:03:02,832 --> 00:03:04,100
He's about to win this match.
74
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:07,270
{\an8}Right before Warrior wins, he
does the-the hip swivel on Rude.
75
00:03:07,270 --> 00:03:10,039
Look at the gyration
right there.
76
00:03:11,141 --> 00:03:12,642
Just shows how dominant
he really is.
77
00:03:13,376 --> 00:03:14,744
And I'll
never forget that night.
78
00:03:15,512 --> 00:03:16,746
And he was great to work with.
79
00:03:20,750 --> 00:03:22,018
The Legion of Doom's
emergence during the
80
00:03:22,018 --> 00:03:26,589
early 1990s sparked a new era
for tag team wrestling in WWE.
81
00:03:26,589 --> 00:03:29,192
The LOD were physical,
aggressive,
82
00:03:29,192 --> 00:03:31,194
and a damn fun tandem to watch.
83
00:03:31,795 --> 00:03:35,331
Doom is what you're gonna
receive at the hands of the LOD.
84
00:03:36,099 --> 00:03:38,067
Hawk and Animal's
immense popularity quickly
85
00:03:38,067 --> 00:03:40,103
launched them into the tag team
title picture, where they would
86
00:03:40,103 --> 00:03:44,307
{\an8}ultimately meet the champions,
The Nasty Boys, at SummerSlam
87
00:03:44,307 --> 00:03:47,577
1991 under street fight rules.
88
00:03:51,614 --> 00:03:55,585
{\an8}Not wasting any time,
attacking immediately.
89
00:03:56,186 --> 00:03:57,854
I remember wrestling at
our first SummerSlam.
90
00:03:57,854 --> 00:03:59,889
Madison Square Garden against
The Nasty Boys.
91
00:03:59,889 --> 00:04:01,591
Look out-
Oh.
92
00:04:02,459 --> 00:04:04,527
{\an8}It's such a reaction
and a feeling you really
93
00:04:04,527 --> 00:04:06,096
{\an8}can't put it into words.
94
00:04:06,096 --> 00:04:06,896
Oh.
95
00:04:06,896 --> 00:04:09,098
Getting beat up.
96
00:04:09,098 --> 00:04:11,101
You get in the ring
with them, you're in trouble.
97
00:04:11,468 --> 00:04:13,470
{\an8}Every guy they ran into, they
just wiped them out.
98
00:04:13,470 --> 00:04:15,738
{\an8}So this was our first real test
for The Nasty Boys.
99
00:04:16,573 --> 00:04:19,142
Nasty Boys pulling out
all the stops here.
100
00:04:19,142 --> 00:04:22,579
Whoa, champs again, baby.
101
00:04:23,847 --> 00:04:25,348
Oh, look at this.
102
00:04:25,348 --> 00:04:26,750
He got the runt.
103
00:04:26,750 --> 00:04:28,685
Oh, helmet to the head.
104
00:04:29,686 --> 00:04:31,154
Hawk is up there.
105
00:04:32,122 --> 00:04:33,156
He nails him.
106
00:04:34,657 --> 00:04:36,593
We got new champions.
107
00:04:36,593 --> 00:04:37,260
He got him.
108
00:04:41,931 --> 00:04:44,200
Our biggest title win
to date because the reaction
109
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,737
that people gave you was like
second to nothing.
110
00:04:47,737 --> 00:04:49,506
It was just nuts.
111
00:04:50,073 --> 00:04:51,875
What a moment for
Legion of Doom.
112
00:04:52,776 --> 00:04:55,311
It's mayhem here in Madison
Square Garden.
113
00:04:57,981 --> 00:05:00,583
There may be no
greater superstar manager duo
114
00:05:00,583 --> 00:05:02,485
than The Undertaker and Paul
Bearer.
115
00:05:03,319 --> 00:05:05,989
The World
Wrestling-- has become
116
00:05:05,989 --> 00:05:08,224
his personal burial grounds.
117
00:05:09,425 --> 00:05:11,661
These two terrified
audiences and superstars alike
118
00:05:11,661 --> 00:05:15,265
with their otherworldly presence
and imposing demeanor.
119
00:05:16,699 --> 00:05:19,469
Mankind, if it was your
aim to get my Undertaker's
120
00:05:19,469 --> 00:05:22,272
attention, you've certainly
accomplished that.
121
00:05:23,106 --> 00:05:24,707
But there was a
strange feeling in the air
122
00:05:24,707 --> 00:05:28,144
heading into SummerSlam 1996,
where The Undertaker would take
123
00:05:28,144 --> 00:05:33,616
on the freakish Mankind in the
first-ever Boiler Room Brawl.
124
00:05:38,521 --> 00:05:41,458
{\an8}Mankind is in that
boiler room someplace.
125
00:05:42,659 --> 00:05:44,260
Oh, no.
126
00:05:44,260 --> 00:05:45,662
Oh.
127
00:05:46,596 --> 00:05:47,597
I love that the
Boiler Room match-
128
00:05:48,231 --> 00:05:49,866
{\an8}it's different, it's gritty.
129
00:05:49,866 --> 00:05:52,469
{\an8}They were beating each other up.
130
00:05:53,670 --> 00:05:55,238
I remember Foley falling off the
ladder.
131
00:05:56,673 --> 00:05:57,474
Mankind.
132
00:05:57,474 --> 00:05:59,109
Oh.
133
00:06:01,111 --> 00:06:03,279
We were beaten up
and banged up, but you didn't
134
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,715
{\an8}just have to get out of the
boiler room into the ring.
135
00:06:05,715 --> 00:06:07,951
{\an8}You had to claim ownership of
the urn.
136
00:06:09,052 --> 00:06:09,919
Whoa.
137
00:06:09,919 --> 00:06:11,921
Oh.
138
00:06:11,921 --> 00:06:13,790
{\an8}I've got him
down, and all I got to do is for
139
00:06:13,790 --> 00:06:15,625
{\an8}Paul Bearer to give me the damn
urn.
140
00:06:15,625 --> 00:06:18,294
Nothing will stop The
Undertaker.
141
00:06:18,828 --> 00:06:20,630
All he has to do is take
possession of the urn.
142
00:06:23,032 --> 00:06:24,868
Give him the urn.
143
00:06:25,401 --> 00:06:27,036
And he turns
his back on me.
144
00:06:27,036 --> 00:06:28,638
Wait a minute.
145
00:06:28,638 --> 00:06:29,672
Give him the urn.
146
00:06:30,073 --> 00:06:32,475
Mankind driving that Mandible
Claw.
147
00:06:34,344 --> 00:06:36,679
Nobody thought Paul
Bearer would ever turn
148
00:06:36,679 --> 00:06:38,948
on The Undertaker.
149
00:06:38,948 --> 00:06:39,983
Don't do it.
150
00:06:39,983 --> 00:06:40,917
Paul.
151
00:06:40,917 --> 00:06:41,718
Oh.
152
00:06:41,718 --> 00:06:42,585
Come on.
153
00:06:42,585 --> 00:06:43,720
No.
154
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,188
When
he hit me with that urn,
155
00:06:45,188 --> 00:06:47,957
you could feel the heat
coming from the audience.
156
00:06:49,559 --> 00:06:50,794
Mankind is the winner.
157
00:06:52,996 --> 00:06:54,297
Those are the
kind of moments
158
00:06:54,297 --> 00:06:55,465
that you live for in the
business when you can get
159
00:06:55,465 --> 00:06:57,634
that gasp and that-that
no way he did that.
160
00:06:57,634 --> 00:07:01,137
And, uh, that was one of those
moments.
161
00:07:02,038 --> 00:07:03,840
My God, I don't believe
what I'm seeing here.
162
00:07:06,509 --> 00:07:08,711
{\an8}Sibling rivalries are
often one of the more unique and
163
00:07:08,711 --> 00:07:10,980
{\an8}complex stories in WWE history.
164
00:07:10,980 --> 00:07:13,349
This was certainly the case
during Bret Hart's year-long
165
00:07:13,349 --> 00:07:14,851
clash with his brother, Owen.
166
00:07:15,418 --> 00:07:18,888
At the 1994 Royal Rumble, Owen
shockingly betrayed The Hitman,
167
00:07:18,888 --> 00:07:21,858
tired of standing in his big
brother's shadow.
168
00:07:22,492 --> 00:07:24,427
I don't need you,
Bret Hart, and I've proven that.
169
00:07:24,427 --> 00:07:25,862
And I don't need my family.
170
00:07:25,862 --> 00:07:27,831
If they wanna turn their backs,
go ahead.
171
00:07:27,831 --> 00:07:29,265
I'll stand on my own.
172
00:07:29,666 --> 00:07:31,101
Owen's envy and
jealousy furthered
173
00:07:31,101 --> 00:07:32,969
their conflict all the way to
SummerSlam.
174
00:07:33,103 --> 00:07:35,538
Owen, how do you
solve something like this?
175
00:07:35,538 --> 00:07:36,773
Well, I'll tell you how.
176
00:07:36,773 --> 00:07:39,409
In a Steel Cage match, there's
only one Hart that's gonna walk
177
00:07:39,409 --> 00:07:41,010
out of there with the World
Wrestling--
178
00:07:41,010 --> 00:07:42,745
Championship belt.
179
00:07:45,014 --> 00:07:46,616
{\an8}Ladies and
gentlemen,
180
00:07:46,616 --> 00:07:51,421
{\an8}this contest is for the World
Wrestling-- Championship.
181
00:07:51,421 --> 00:07:53,990
{\an8}It was a story that
everybody could understand.
182
00:07:53,990 --> 00:07:56,426
{\an8}It was brother versus brother,
and that is a match
183
00:07:56,426 --> 00:07:58,595
that is truly a clinic.
184
00:07:59,762 --> 00:08:01,931
These brothers have come
here to SummerSlam
185
00:08:01,931 --> 00:08:03,700
to battle it out.
186
00:08:03,700 --> 00:08:06,302
Just like when they
were kids, I mean,
187
00:08:06,302 --> 00:08:07,871
they're pulling out
all the stops here.
188
00:08:08,404 --> 00:08:11,508
{\an8}That match is really
the psychology of the cage,
189
00:08:11,508 --> 00:08:13,209
trying to get out.
190
00:08:13,209 --> 00:08:14,110
He's out.
He-
191
00:08:14,110 --> 00:08:15,612
No, he's not, he's
not out.
192
00:08:15,612 --> 00:08:17,013
He's got a head start.
193
00:08:17,013 --> 00:08:18,481
Both legs are over.
194
00:08:18,481 --> 00:08:21,618
Unbelievable.
195
00:08:21,618 --> 00:08:23,520
{\an8}It was an
interesting contrast seeing them
196
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,955
{\an8}removed from their technical
backgrounds,
197
00:08:25,955 --> 00:08:28,224
being forced to fight it out
inside a steel cage.
198
00:08:28,892 --> 00:08:29,692
Oh, wait a minute.
199
00:08:29,692 --> 00:08:31,227
Oh.
200
00:08:31,227 --> 00:08:32,061
Look at that.
201
00:08:32,061 --> 00:08:32,929
And Bret wins it.
202
00:08:34,497 --> 00:08:35,632
Oh, no.
203
00:08:35,632 --> 00:08:41,738
still champion, Bret
"Hitman" Hart.
204
00:08:41,738 --> 00:08:42,705
I've always said it.
205
00:08:42,705 --> 00:08:43,940
I think it's the best cage match
I ever, um,
206
00:08:43,940 --> 00:08:46,142
was part of, for sure.
207
00:08:46,142 --> 00:08:49,112
Bret Hart has done it
here in SummerSlam.
208
00:08:52,615 --> 00:08:54,984
In 1999, "Stone Cold"
Steve Austin reigned as WWE
209
00:08:54,984 --> 00:08:57,821
Champion, stomping a mud hole
into every
210
00:08:57,821 --> 00:08:59,823
superstar he came across.
211
00:08:59,823 --> 00:09:01,858
But the biggest party of the
summer was right
212
00:09:01,858 --> 00:09:02,992
around the corner.
213
00:09:02,992 --> 00:09:05,395
A triple threat match was set
for SummerSlam,
214
00:09:05,395 --> 00:09:09,933
live from Minneapolis, between
Austin, Triple H and Mankind.
215
00:09:10,733 --> 00:09:11,935
I ain't gonna give
a rat's ass
216
00:09:11,935 --> 00:09:13,136
who's in the ring with me.
217
00:09:13,136 --> 00:09:14,270
Let's ring the bell and let's
get to it.
218
00:09:14,270 --> 00:09:15,872
That's all I got to say to you,
219
00:09:15,872 --> 00:09:17,140
so get your little
ass out of here.
220
00:09:18,341 --> 00:09:19,542
And if the stakes
weren't high enough,
221
00:09:19,542 --> 00:09:20,777
the match's special guest
referee was none other than
222
00:09:20,777 --> 00:09:23,913
wrestling legend, and then
Governor of Minnesota,
223
00:09:23,913 --> 00:09:27,450
Jesse "The Body" Ventura.
224
00:09:27,851 --> 00:09:30,854
We all know who
is the power in Minnesota.
225
00:09:34,891 --> 00:09:36,192
{\an8}The title at stake.
226
00:09:36,192 --> 00:09:39,028
{\an8}The first person to score a
pinfall wins this match.
227
00:09:40,263 --> 00:09:43,600
{\an8}Going into back end
of '99, uh, man, I was on fire.
228
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:44,901
{\an8}I was hauling ass.
229
00:09:44,901 --> 00:09:46,436
{\an8}The business was crazy.
230
00:09:46,970 --> 00:09:48,938
Mick Foley, Triple H, at that
point,
231
00:09:48,938 --> 00:09:50,373
had the best year of their
careers,
232
00:09:50,373 --> 00:09:52,509
and they both stepped up and
knocked it out of the park.
233
00:09:52,509 --> 00:09:54,144
Did you hit him with the
chair?
234
00:09:54,144 --> 00:09:57,313
{\an8}We had this really
great chemistry together
235
00:09:57,313 --> 00:09:59,549
in the main event spot.
236
00:09:59,549 --> 00:10:01,384
We wanted to be great and
willing to do anything
237
00:10:01,384 --> 00:10:03,386
to make it great.
238
00:10:03,386 --> 00:10:06,055
Ventura admonishing Triple
H.
239
00:10:06,055 --> 00:10:10,426
{\an8}It was fun to break the
monotony of politics.
240
00:10:10,426 --> 00:10:11,461
Look at Jesse.
241
00:10:11,461 --> 00:10:12,429
Ventura says, hell no,
you're not gonna
242
00:10:12,429 --> 00:10:13,897
win it that way.
243
00:10:13,897 --> 00:10:15,098
Jesse rules.
244
00:10:15,098 --> 00:10:18,234
Jesse rules here.
245
00:10:18,234 --> 00:10:20,770
And plus the opportunity
to interact with three
246
00:10:20,770 --> 00:10:22,238
of the greatest of all time.
247
00:10:22,238 --> 00:10:23,706
the match.
248
00:10:23,706 --> 00:10:24,641
There's a Stunner.
249
00:10:24,641 --> 00:10:26,009
That'll be it.
250
00:10:26,009 --> 00:10:28,311
Now Mankind interrupted the
count.
251
00:10:28,745 --> 00:10:31,247
{\an8}SummerSlam, 1999,
252
00:10:31,247 --> 00:10:33,783
there was kind of magic in the
air that night.
253
00:10:33,783 --> 00:10:35,618
Mankind's got the leg
hooked.
254
00:10:35,618 --> 00:10:36,519
Can he?
255
00:10:36,519 --> 00:10:37,187
Yes.
256
00:10:38,388 --> 00:10:41,291
Mankind is the champion.
257
00:10:41,291 --> 00:10:43,026
And I'm lucky that I
became a part of that story.
258
00:10:44,060 --> 00:10:46,095
Mrs. Foley's baby boy
became
259
00:10:46,095 --> 00:10:48,898
the WWE Champion at
SummerSlam.
260
00:10:51,534 --> 00:10:52,936
{\an8}In the late 1990s,
The Rock and Triple H
261
00:10:52,936 --> 00:10:54,637
{\an8}led their own distinct factions.
262
00:10:54,637 --> 00:10:58,241
The Game with the loudmouth,
D-Generation X-
263
00:10:58,241 --> 00:10:59,442
Suck it.
264
00:10:59,442 --> 00:11:01,211
and The Great One
with the imposing
265
00:11:01,211 --> 00:11:03,346
Nation of Domination.
266
00:11:03,346 --> 00:11:06,116
The Rock has Triple H
exactly where he wants him.
267
00:11:06,116 --> 00:11:09,052
If you smell what The Rock is
cooking, jabroni.
268
00:11:09,052 --> 00:11:11,521
The group's
battled it out for months
269
00:11:11,521 --> 00:11:13,289
with their respective leaders
fighting over the
270
00:11:13,289 --> 00:11:14,724
Intercontinental Championship.
271
00:11:14,724 --> 00:11:17,494
The People's Champ is
gonna enter Madison Square
272
00:11:17,494 --> 00:11:19,929
Garden the Intercontinental
Champ,
273
00:11:19,929 --> 00:11:22,732
and he's gonna leave the
Intercontinental Champ.
274
00:11:23,733 --> 00:11:25,668
What a better
time and place to settle
275
00:11:25,668 --> 00:11:28,405
the score than at the biggest
party of the summer,
276
00:11:28,405 --> 00:11:30,206
in a ladder match.
277
00:11:35,011 --> 00:11:37,180
{\an8}The Intercontinental
Title at stake.
278
00:11:37,180 --> 00:11:39,649
{\an8}In 1998, it was
Madison Square Garden.
279
00:11:39,649 --> 00:11:40,784
{\an8}We had our ladder match.
280
00:11:40,784 --> 00:11:42,552
It was our big moment.
281
00:11:44,220 --> 00:11:45,388
Here we go.
282
00:11:45,388 --> 00:11:46,756
This should be a real dandy,
ladies and gentlemen.
283
00:11:47,457 --> 00:11:49,425
The Intercontinental
Title was very, very important
284
00:11:49,425 --> 00:11:51,060
to the both of us.
285
00:11:51,060 --> 00:11:52,695
Two great young athletes
putting
286
00:11:52,695 --> 00:11:54,063
their bodies on the line.
287
00:11:54,731 --> 00:11:56,132
When you fight over
the Intercontinental Title,
288
00:11:56,132 --> 00:12:00,103
{\an8}you get yourself to that next
level to become the top guy.
289
00:12:00,103 --> 00:12:02,105
What else is gonna happen
to this son of a gun?
290
00:12:04,374 --> 00:12:06,109
Both of us wanted
that spot,
291
00:12:06,109 --> 00:12:07,777
and we were so fired up.
292
00:12:09,412 --> 00:12:10,847
I don't think I've ever
seen any more intense
293
00:12:10,847 --> 00:12:14,417
competition from two young guys
like we're seeing here.
294
00:12:15,485 --> 00:12:17,620
The ladder match was
the tip of the iceberg, but
295
00:12:17,620 --> 00:12:21,324
{\an8}their meteoric rise as
superstars made it special.
296
00:12:23,827 --> 00:12:24,727
Yes.
297
00:12:24,727 --> 00:12:26,095
Triple H did it.
298
00:12:27,130 --> 00:12:29,332
It projected both of
us into that main event tier,
299
00:12:29,332 --> 00:12:32,869
at an event as big as SummerSlam
at Madison Square Garden.
300
00:12:33,770 --> 00:12:35,538
That ladder match to me was
something special.
301
00:12:36,573 --> 00:12:38,308
What a hell of an effort.
302
00:12:41,811 --> 00:12:43,012
Wrestling's
greatest couple
303
00:12:43,012 --> 00:12:45,081
is undoubtedly "The Macho Man"
Randy Savage
304
00:12:45,081 --> 00:12:47,217
and his one true love,
Miss Elizabeth.
305
00:12:47,217 --> 00:12:51,454
The duo captured the hearts of
the WWE Universe for years
306
00:12:51,454 --> 00:12:53,656
and remained fan favorites
throughout the Macho Man's
307
00:12:53,656 --> 00:12:55,458
legendary career.
308
00:12:55,458 --> 00:12:56,926
I love that
man.
309
00:12:57,894 --> 00:12:59,762
Whoa.
310
00:12:59,762 --> 00:13:01,765
And heading into the
summer of 1991,
311
00:13:01,765 --> 00:13:05,535
Savage wanted to solidify his
relationship with Elizabeth.
312
00:13:05,535 --> 00:13:09,406
Elizabeth, will you
marry me?
313
00:13:11,941 --> 00:13:13,410
Ooh, yeah.
314
00:13:15,945 --> 00:13:18,448
{\an8}The WWE Universe saved
the day for SummerSlam,
315
00:13:18,448 --> 00:13:21,117
{\an8}as Macho Man and his
bride to be would take
316
00:13:21,117 --> 00:13:23,086
to the altar in one of the most
emotional moments
317
00:13:23,086 --> 00:13:24,788
in WWE history.
318
00:13:29,659 --> 00:13:31,361
{\an8}We are gathered
together in the presence
319
00:13:31,361 --> 00:13:34,531
{\an8}of this company to join
this man and this woman
320
00:13:34,531 --> 00:13:37,767
in the bonds of matrimony.
321
00:13:37,767 --> 00:13:40,570
{\an8}Randy loved
Elizabeth unconditionally.
322
00:13:40,570 --> 00:13:42,939
{\an8}And he was so madly
in love with her.
323
00:13:42,939 --> 00:13:46,042
Elizabeth, do you take
this man
324
00:13:46,042 --> 00:13:48,178
as your lawful wedded husband?
325
00:13:48,178 --> 00:13:50,180
I will.
326
00:13:51,614 --> 00:13:54,017
{\an8}How long were people
craving for that moment.
327
00:13:54,017 --> 00:13:57,020
{\an8}And boy, oh, boy, did Elizabeth
deliver.
328
00:13:58,054 --> 00:14:00,390
Do you take this woman
as your lawful wedded wife?
329
00:14:01,424 --> 00:14:03,426
Ooh, yeah.
330
00:14:05,528 --> 00:14:06,863
Macho Man
and Miss Elizabeth.
331
00:14:07,530 --> 00:14:09,699
{\an8}That wedding went to perfection.
332
00:14:09,699 --> 00:14:13,570
Now I pronounce that
you are husband and wife.
333
00:14:13,570 --> 00:14:15,371
You may now kiss the bride.
334
00:14:17,373 --> 00:14:18,742
It is the
greatest love story
335
00:14:18,742 --> 00:14:22,245
{\an8}of Romeo and Juliet of all time.
336
00:14:22,245 --> 00:14:24,647
What a woman and what
a man.
337
00:14:28,451 --> 00:14:29,652
The Intercontinental
Championship
338
00:14:29,652 --> 00:14:32,288
is one of the most prestigious
titles in WWE history.
339
00:14:32,288 --> 00:14:34,891
But only one former champion
could classify
340
00:14:34,891 --> 00:14:36,826
himself as perfect.
341
00:14:37,527 --> 00:14:39,729
I'm the greatest
athlete, I got the coolest hair,
342
00:14:39,729 --> 00:14:41,264
I got the best body,
343
00:14:41,264 --> 00:14:43,700
and I got the Intercontinental
Championship belt.
344
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,736
The aptly named
Mr. Perfect reigned as
345
00:14:46,736 --> 00:14:50,373
Intercontinental Champion
heading into SummerSlam 1991.
346
00:14:50,373 --> 00:14:52,575
What a great
champion this man is.
347
00:14:52,575 --> 00:14:55,111
But a new challenger
emerged in the form
348
00:14:55,111 --> 00:14:57,080
of one Bret "The Hitman" Hart.
349
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,849
Mr. Perfect, you're not
going to be perfect after you
350
00:14:59,849 --> 00:15:02,485
step in the ring with The
Excellence of Execution.
351
00:15:03,420 --> 00:15:05,388
{\an8}The tag team
specialist looked to launch
352
00:15:05,388 --> 00:15:07,290
a singles career, and who better
to take down
353
00:15:07,290 --> 00:15:08,591
than the perfect one?
354
00:15:11,961 --> 00:15:13,463
{\an8}Bell's gone, this
one's underway.
355
00:15:13,463 --> 00:15:16,232
{\an8}Intercontinental Title
belt on the line.
356
00:15:16,232 --> 00:15:17,167
{\an8}The match
I had with
357
00:15:17,167 --> 00:15:19,269
{\an8}Mr. Perfect at SummerSlam,
358
00:15:19,269 --> 00:15:20,703
I thought it was the
best match on the card.
359
00:15:21,905 --> 00:15:24,574
Both of these guys in
tip-top physical condition.
360
00:15:25,141 --> 00:15:26,609
Did that move the actual
ring?
361
00:15:26,876 --> 00:15:28,745
{\an8}Curt Hennig was
a bump machine.
362
00:15:28,745 --> 00:15:31,080
Curt Hennig was able to go out
and make
363
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,382
any and everybody look great.
364
00:15:33,083 --> 00:15:35,051
Perfect in a whole lot
of trouble,
365
00:15:35,051 --> 00:15:37,187
and The Hitman
gaining confidence.
366
00:15:37,187 --> 00:15:39,689
Oh, was that close.
367
00:15:40,089 --> 00:15:42,659
Perfect about to get on
the offense again.
368
00:15:43,093 --> 00:15:45,161
{\an8}It's gonna sound so
cliché, but I don't think there
369
00:15:45,161 --> 00:15:48,098
{\an8}was a more perfect opponent for
Bret that night than Curt Hennig
370
00:15:48,932 --> 00:15:49,966
The fingers locked.
371
00:15:49,966 --> 00:15:51,301
No, he kicked out.
372
00:15:51,301 --> 00:15:53,002
I can't believe it.
373
00:15:53,002 --> 00:15:54,704
Nobody's ever
kicked out of that.
374
00:15:56,439 --> 00:15:58,575
{\an8}Perfect goes
for a leg drop,
375
00:15:58,575 --> 00:16:04,314
{\an8}and Bret Hart smoothly reverses
it into a Sharpshooter.
376
00:16:04,314 --> 00:16:05,582
Beautiful counter.
377
00:16:06,483 --> 00:16:07,217
And we got a new
champion.
378
00:16:07,217 --> 00:16:08,618
We got a new champion.
379
00:16:08,618 --> 00:16:09,986
No.
380
00:16:10,220 --> 00:16:12,789
This is just such
perfect Bret Hart.
381
00:16:12,789 --> 00:16:15,692
Curt Hennig did it at
SummerSlam to me,
382
00:16:15,692 --> 00:16:17,060
the torturing of my hand.
383
00:16:17,694 --> 00:16:20,096
Tears in the eyes of
mum and dad.
384
00:16:20,864 --> 00:16:22,999
Mr. Perfect, you just
weren't good enough.
385
00:16:22,999 --> 00:16:25,135
You're looking at the World
Wrestling--
386
00:16:25,135 --> 00:16:26,402
Intercontinental Champion.
387
00:16:29,239 --> 00:16:31,474
{\an8}The mid-1990s ushered
in a new era in WWE
388
00:16:31,474 --> 00:16:33,076
{\an8}with several superstars emerging
389
00:16:33,076 --> 00:16:36,346
as the future faces of the
professional wrestling world.
390
00:16:36,346 --> 00:16:40,750
Two such competitors were "The
Bad Guy" Razor Ramon-
391
00:16:40,750 --> 00:16:43,286
Say
hello to Razor Ramon.
392
00:16:43,953 --> 00:16:45,989
and "The Heartbreak
Kid" Shawn Michaels.
393
00:16:46,823 --> 00:16:49,859
The greatest
Intercontinental Champion ever.
394
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,562
These two solidified
themselves as top stars in their
395
00:16:52,562 --> 00:16:54,764
ladder match for the
Intercontinental Championship
396
00:16:54,764 --> 00:16:56,299
at WrestleMania X.
397
00:16:56,833 --> 00:16:58,068
From high above.
398
00:16:58,068 --> 00:16:59,235
Oh.
399
00:16:59,235 --> 00:17:00,437
Oh.
400
00:17:00,437 --> 00:17:02,505
Though Razor emerged
victorious that night,
401
00:17:02,505 --> 00:17:04,741
just a year and a half later,
Michaels was now the champion.
402
00:17:05,508 --> 00:17:07,410
I have not had
a good night's sleep
403
00:17:07,410 --> 00:17:09,412
since the ladder match of '94.
404
00:17:09,412 --> 00:17:11,815
And a rematch came
calling.
405
00:17:11,815 --> 00:17:15,718
Could Michaels and Ramon deliver
another classic performance?
406
00:17:19,756 --> 00:17:20,590
{\an8}Both men
looking up.
407
00:17:21,558 --> 00:17:22,358
{\an8}The bell has rung.
408
00:17:22,358 --> 00:17:23,960
{\an8}We were going
to PG-13.
409
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,963
Standards and practices, and-and
people of that nature had asked
410
00:17:26,963 --> 00:17:30,733
{\an8}that we don't use
household items.
411
00:17:30,733 --> 00:17:34,070
So, we had to use the ladders a
little more creatively than
412
00:17:34,070 --> 00:17:36,573
actually hitting someone with
them.
413
00:17:36,573 --> 00:17:39,275
As silly as it sounds, that was
the-the ruling.
414
00:17:40,143 --> 00:17:41,444
Michaels.
415
00:17:41,444 --> 00:17:43,980
Here we go.
416
00:17:45,048 --> 00:17:46,649
To have this matchup was
so fantastic.
417
00:17:46,649 --> 00:17:48,518
{\an8}But we're gonna take away a lot
of the things
418
00:17:48,518 --> 00:17:52,155
{\an8}that you do-do and
see how you do.
419
00:17:52,155 --> 00:17:55,425
But if you're
able to have a great match,
420
00:17:55,425 --> 00:17:59,195
{\an8}despite the obstacles that are
put in front of you,
421
00:17:59,195 --> 00:18:02,599
it feels good to be able to
overcome those challenges.
422
00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:04,434
And, oh.
423
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,003
{\an8}That's what I
learned too,
424
00:18:07,003 --> 00:18:08,772
{\an8}a little bit about
just letting go.
425
00:18:08,772 --> 00:18:09,939
{\an8}Like let it happen.
426
00:18:09,939 --> 00:18:10,974
Let it flow.
427
00:18:10,974 --> 00:18:12,442
Razor starting to move.
428
00:18:12,442 --> 00:18:14,144
And he got it.
429
00:18:14,144 --> 00:18:16,312
He got it.
430
00:18:16,312 --> 00:18:18,715
That's what we took from
that second one were all of
431
00:18:18,715 --> 00:18:22,552
those challenges and still
finding a way to make it work.
432
00:18:22,552 --> 00:18:25,488
That's what it's all
about.
433
00:18:27,157 --> 00:18:28,391
We've now reached our
number one moment,
434
00:18:28,391 --> 00:18:30,960
and it's not only a big one but
arguably
435
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,463
the most famous match in
SummerSlam history
436
00:18:33,463 --> 00:18:35,932
in front of the largest crowd
the event has ever seen.
437
00:18:35,932 --> 00:18:40,804
78,000 fans packed the legendary
Wembley Stadium as London,
438
00:18:40,804 --> 00:18:43,807
England, served as host for
SummerSlam 1992.
439
00:18:43,807 --> 00:18:47,310
And who better to compete in the
main event
440
00:18:47,310 --> 00:18:48,878
than a true hometown hero?
441
00:18:48,878 --> 00:18:51,614
The British
Bulldog will be the next
442
00:18:51,614 --> 00:18:54,717
Intercontinental Champion.
443
00:18:54,717 --> 00:18:56,152
The only problem was
the current champ
444
00:18:56,152 --> 00:18:58,888
was his brother-in-law,
Bret "The Hitman" Hart.
445
00:18:59,589 --> 00:19:01,491
I was the one that
introduced you to my sister
446
00:19:01,491 --> 00:19:03,359
Diana in the first place.
447
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,295
You wouldn't be where you are in
the World Wrestling--
448
00:19:05,295 --> 00:19:07,730
if it wasn't for me.
449
00:19:09,532 --> 00:19:11,768
{\an8}What a matchup
this is going to be.
450
00:19:13,436 --> 00:19:16,439
The one that everybody
was emotionally invested
451
00:19:16,439 --> 00:19:19,042
in was the Davey Boy-Bret match.
452
00:19:19,509 --> 00:19:21,010
Listen to these people.
453
00:19:21,010 --> 00:19:22,278
Can you hear me?
454
00:19:22,278 --> 00:19:24,013
{\an8}British Bulldog
definitely spurred
455
00:19:24,013 --> 00:19:25,682
{\an8}on the fandom in the UK.
456
00:19:25,682 --> 00:19:29,352
That was a beautiful
story of family
457
00:19:29,352 --> 00:19:30,887
in inner turmoil.
458
00:19:31,788 --> 00:19:34,224
This matchup tearing the
respected families apart.
459
00:19:34,224 --> 00:19:37,060
A very concerned Diana looking
on.
460
00:19:37,594 --> 00:19:39,362
When you have two
wrestlers going out to the ring
461
00:19:39,362 --> 00:19:41,764
and you can ask yourself as a
fan, you know,
462
00:19:41,764 --> 00:19:42,999
"I don't know who's
going to win,"
463
00:19:42,999 --> 00:19:45,535
{\an8}that's when we have the magic.
464
00:19:46,669 --> 00:19:48,405
Taking their time, they
know what they're doing, and
465
00:19:48,405 --> 00:19:50,874
they know what's at stake.
466
00:19:51,441 --> 00:19:53,042
Sunset flip.
467
00:19:53,042 --> 00:19:54,043
Wait a minute.
468
00:19:54,043 --> 00:19:54,811
Two.
469
00:19:54,811 --> 00:19:55,845
That's it.
470
00:19:57,747 --> 00:19:59,115
{\an8}That to me was just
such a special,
471
00:19:59,115 --> 00:20:01,084
{\an8}magical moment in the history
of our industry.
472
00:20:01,084 --> 00:20:04,053
And when I look back on
it,
473
00:20:04,053 --> 00:20:06,556
it's one of my proudest
moments for sure.
474
00:20:08,425 --> 00:20:12,128
One of the greatest
matches of all time has just
475
00:20:12,128 --> 00:20:15,398
taken place here at SummerSlam.
476
00:20:19,269 --> 00:20:20,470
A truly
incredible matchup.
477
00:20:20,470 --> 00:20:22,038
The Bulldog captured the
Intercontinental Championship,
478
00:20:22,038 --> 00:20:25,975
and the UK crowd witnessed a
national icon reign supreme.
479
00:20:27,477 --> 00:20:28,478
{\an8}Well, that'll do it
for this edition
480
00:20:28,478 --> 00:20:30,280
{\an8}of WWE's Greatest Moments.
481
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,782
{\an8}We hope you all enjoy this look
back the most thrilling,
482
00:20:32,782 --> 00:20:36,953
{\an8}electrifying, moving, and
rip-roaring SummerSlam
483
00:20:36,953 --> 00:20:39,322
{\an8}moments of the 1990s.
