[SOUND] [MUSIC] The first entrant,
the person who grew number one. >> Is it Farooq? Well, that will be. >> Yes, indeed, the Nation of
Domination we saw them earlier on and this is an unlucky number
to draw number one. And your likelihood of going
all the way is not great. >> Maybe it's not Farooq. >> I don't think it is now. >> Looks like Crush. >> What you're seeing was,
you're liking to see the other, but. >> I think you're right. >> Well, certainly,
they're one lest nation member Ahmed Johnson put one of
the prove a table earlier on. >> Well, Crush has the longest
odds of winning this thing, only Shawn Michaels has ever started
it at number one and want it. >> Well, it has been done before, but this man has a real bad attitude and- >> All right, wait a minute >Oh, no.>Crush can't believe it,
that's Ahmed Johnson. >> [NOISE]
>> Well, Ahmed Johnson is gonna have 90 seconds, a minute to do just about whatever
he wants to Crush one on one. And remember the objective to throw
your opponent over the top rope. And both,
the man's feet must hit the floor. >> And Ahmed is just the man that
can get the job done as we saw earlier on and look at this, whoa. >> Can you believe this, King. >> And the Nation of Domination. >> Here we go, and Crush going to
Ahmed Johnson, Crush hammering away now. Actually, trying to pick right up
where Farooq left off, look at this, Crush is all over on Ahmed Johnson,
will he let him out in the corner? And again, the object here
is not to pin your opponent, not to make him submit is
simply to get him out. >> We're seeing some Texas size
aggression from Crush here. >> And Farooq hammering it out with Crush,
sets him up for the ride now, from the other side and,
whoa, with a clothesline. >> [NOISE]
>> Ahmed Johnson. >> Get him up, get him up in the air. >> Taking off his feet there. My, and
this has turned into a street brawl. >> You gotta think that neither of these
men even care about eliminating the other at this juncture that just
wanna beat each other up. >> Well, I think they wanna
eliminate each other, but not in the fashion that you would normally
eliminate someone in the Royal Rumble. >> Crush would like to pick Ahmed Johnson
up, throwing over the top rope and have Ahmed Johnson land right on his head. >> And Clarence facing. >> Wanna have a sidebar Clarence? >> Well,
are you gonna have a salad bar Lee.. >> Clarence is really upset and
again, Crush. Didn't take him long to go right back
to the kidneys of Ahmed Johnson and trying to get the Pearl River Powerhouse
over the top rope. >> Well, just stand there Clarence,
help him, can he do that? >> No, he can't do that and
Ahmed just may go. >> Yeah, right down on his head,
there you go, Clarence. >> [NOISE]
>> Ahmed is so thick and any second, someone else is going to join the fray and
and it's. >> The bad guy. >> Yes. >> [NOISE]
>> And I'm told we're having
problems with our clock. >> [NOISE]
>> My goodness. >> Like in the NFL, there's an official
time and an unofficial time and look at Razor now. Razor-
>> [NOISE] >> Ready with a round of booze and Ahmed Johnson,
Ahmed went to eliminate Razor. >> [NOISE]
>> Ahmed now- >> That didn't take long. >> No, I'll tell you. >> Razor's having trouble with his clock,
he didn't even have time to rewind it. >> [NOISE]
>> Ahmed with those new Speedo briefs or something,
they were one of tights, McMahon. >> He didn't care about that tights, all he cares about is taking
it to Crush and throw him out. Crush is gone. >> Faked a hit, did he? >> You're right, you're right. >> That's why the referee are on
the outside, no reason for him to be on the inside
of the ring both feet. Wait a minute, wait a minute. >> Ahmed, just eliminated himself or just-
>> What? >> There's Farooq,
Ahmed going after Farooq, Ahmed eliminated himself and
Crush is in the ring all alone. >> [NOISE] [MUSIC] >> He is an idiot
>> And this must be, here we go with, the winner for,
is Phineas Godwin there with Hillbilly [MUSIC] >> [NOISE]
>> Phineas first on Royal Rumble and this should be right down to alley or
trap, so to speak, [LAUGH]. >> [NOISE]
>> And Crush right away, trying to tie up the big hog farmer. >> [NOISE]
>> And look at Phineas go, in the Royal Rumble, ladies and
gentlemen, you don't need a great deal of scientific wrestling
technique in order to win this thing. It's the luck of the draw. >> There you go,
that's a smart move right there. >> And look at Crush wrapping himself
around one of those ropes much like Jake the Snake might do a little
bit later on like a Python. >> Jake the Snake? >> Yes. >> Do you have a Python with him? >> I suggest he would. >> And now, down on the mat, no one's
gonna be eliminated in this fashion. Crush and Phineas going at it. I can't believe Ahmed Johnson, this emotion just overcame it. That's just very,
very unfortunate for Ahmed. >> And again we continue, ladies and
gentlemen, we have a cloth problems. Very soon someone else
will be joining the fray. >> Yeah, you don't have to wait long,
every 90 seconds. >> Stone Cold Steve Austin. >> Uh-oh. [MUSIC] >> And he's is no hurry, is he? >> The bad man right there. >> Yes, I'll agree with you. >> Well, it's kinda really no
reason to get in any hurry, and Phineas and
Crush beat each other up some more. Maybe it'll make Austin's
job a little bit easier. >> And look at Phineas, Phineas wants
going to work on Stone Cold Steve Austin. >> You're not kidding, you better do that. >> Set up for the ride, to the buckle and here comes Phineas and with
a clothesline by Phineas, whoa, [LAUGH]. >> Phineas is over 300 pounds,
that's a pretty tough clothesline. >> And now Crush capitalizing. >> [NOISE]
>> And Phineas takes some shots to the throat. >> Shot to the kidneys also by Crush. On that good natured yet somewhat simple, Razorback somewhat simple,
just being kind. >> Well,
he's not exactly the brains of the outfit. >> He hasn't been any
Mensa meetings lately. >> Look out. >> Whoa Just covered, rush but again remember now it's gone [INAUDIBLE]
[NOISE] All alone ladies and gentlemen Stone Cold Steve Austin all by himself. [NOISE] And Bart Gunn on his way in,
there we go. Is it Bart Gunn a sub par, hammering
away on stone cold Steve Austin,. Gud now setting up no reversal so
coming up. There up in the leg right
across the back of the head and drives the facial area of stone
cold into the mat right now. First time Gud hell just look at that and
the second time he comes and works against Stone Cold Steve Austin
is pickle them all. >> Player and
he's telling us all he is in great shape. He's in fighting shape. >> He is in great condition. All right. >> I'm sure he's been in a few
barroom brawls and look at this, waiting for
the next individual to come out. [NOISE] We're talking
about a man with a nasty, temperamental eyes while his
watch is working as well as ours. [INAUDIBLE]
>> Awesome would love to win this same to go this 19 9016 of the ring title [NOISE] [INAUDIBLE] [SOUND] Competing more than any ww athlete in history. >> Annulation superstars, this is
a grizzled veteran of 42 years of age. And Robert Stone Cold Steve Austin rematch from the ring I believe in the finals. Everybody wants a DDT. >> Jake the Snake would
love to hear that one more dance with glory,
as we said in the free for all your two matches
away from the WWE title. You win the Rumble. You got one more shot. It's a two minute series. The set on top of the mountain. >> Look at this. Come on.
Don't go pick tank up and slamming right on top of that snake here. >> And the official has,
>> Bring that thing over here. And here we go. DDT coming up. Meanwhile, a four second delay. [INAUDIBLE] Yeah. [MUSIC]
[INAUDIBLE] Go. [NOISE] These two men despise each other. They've had a lot of problems in the past. They've been well documented. [NOISE] A lot of success
in the Royal Rumble 95. He was a runner up the Shawn Michael's. He was in the Final Four
last year from Fresno. >> [INAUDIBLE]. >> My goodness look at this now. And drop him down with a. >> Has got alot of power,
his got expreince. And what an opportunity this would be for
WWF tag team champions, to an the right to be in
the main event at wrestlemania. >> Both by the lay Tag Team Champions,
the British Bulldog and his brother in law and hard choosing
to enter this Royal Rumble matchup. And often hanging on. >> There's a lot of goodness looking
around the locker room regarding the Bulldog and on. [MUSIC] Champion of champions from the Mexican AAA organisation he was chosen when I went to doc Hendricks top 10. Spine Buster down in the Kansas Bulldog
is knocking everybody down here Ron is a notorious Rule Breaker
from the AAA organization. Not very popular here in San Antonio
illustrious 12 year career. >> It's South of the border. First Royal rumble, the parents and
knocking the bulldog down. And he went for the cover. He saw momentarily just instinctively
Bureau lines for the cover. Steve, Boston's getting a break here. Yeah.
He was playing a scarf and fear up just hammer to the campus. Every man for himself. >> Get a bulldog. Want to work on pure rock
solid Stone Cold Steve Austin >> I think stone cold and the British Bulldog we'd like
to get rid of pure rock and go at each other again
>> In the corner of pure rock and now Bulldog going to work on
Stone Cold stones to rock. Uh-oh, ten more seconds somebody
else is gonna join the fray. >> Six, five, four, three, two, one. [MUSIC] >> It's The Sultan. >> Whoa. [MUSIC] >> And that's the irony last night maybe you missed this plane, that'd be a shame. >> You find humor in
the misfortunes selectively yes, In any event, it's every man for himself, ladies and gentlemen. >> Look out. >> No friends in there, if there is an alliance it's likely
to be one that's short lived. And Pierre Ouellet, hanging by a thread. Why The Sultan manhandling Pierre Ouellet,
he's a big, powerful indivdiual, and look at him trying to [CROSSTALK]
>> Pierre Ouellet's legs wrapped Come on there
>> Hang in there >> That's smart delivery, smart move on the vector. That's Bulldog and Austin,
Austin's in trouble, it all goes out
>> No he's not, remember both feet have to touch the floor, and
Gerrard trying to pick up The Sultan. >> No such luck. >> Who's well over than 300
pounds as i would suggest Wow. >> What a slam? Saldon in his first Royal Rumble. >> Look at this. Look how Austin is softening
up the Bulldogs leg. You remember it was that same leg. That same knee that strong goal did
damage to a little bit earlier on. [APPLAUSE] And weeks Previous [MUSIC] And here we go ladies and
gentlemen legendary Mascaras. Joined by a country men, Mil Máscaras, even though there'll be no allies
here yesterday they are country men. That's about as far as
that relationship goes. The man of 1000 masks
Mil Máscaras is in here. And here getting work on a Sultan,
Sultan set up for the ride now and wow. Máscaras in the ring throw a three
decades, renowned movie and television star in Mexico, known as
a man of 1000 mass and do you know what a feather in somebody's cap it would be,
if Stone Cold Steve Austin or the Sultan? Were able to unmask Mil Máscaras right
here in the Royal Rumble would that be something, [NOISE] Fairly,
would be King, a headbutt by the Sultan, meanwhile over in the fire side,
the Bulldog with Stone Cold Pierroth and they're all tangled up over on
the right side of the of the ring and Máscaras trying to get
the big Sultan up and out, I don't need a Boy Scout out
here to get those guys on time. [NOISE] 10 more seconds
somebody else joins the fray, Mil Máscaras is almost got
fallen out it's, it's. Hunter Hearst Helmsley, yeah! Helms, retaining
the Intercontinental title earlier, here on the Royal Rumble and you can
see he's not running at full speed. But now you're gonna see somebody flying. He didn't bring his butler with
him either, or at least not yet. Helmsley, succession no right in
softening up the British Bulldog. Here also trying to get
Stone Cold Steve Austin up. That's not gonna work in that position. I don't think another Bulldogs
in jeopardy of being eliminated. [NOISE] And Mil Máscaras is what
Hunter Hearst Helmsley in the mid ring. We've got Pierroth and Stone Cold
in the fireside and assaulted, and the Bulldog exchanging blows,
what a left, my goodness. What a clothesline Bulldog. Look out over a close in yet,
has just eliminated the Sultan, lot of power by the British Bulldog great
upper body strength by Davey Boy Smith, the British Bulldog
eliminating the Sultan or Mr. Bob Bucklund can't be happy about that. Back, is quite a record here
in Royal Rumble, look out, Hunter Helms has been eli, no no no, no
not so sure, Austin now in the corner and drive the elbow down in 100 hertz town,
every man for himself. There are no allies here. There are no, no partners. No no allegiances, no lie,
no, it's Bret Hart. Stinking rot,
his brother Bret would say, what? Owen Hart, his a whiner. He whines about everything,
listen you guys, his Slammy award winner, my goodness Máscaras and Pierrth is going
at it, and here comes the Slammy and here comes Owen Hart, come on Owen, Owen
and Austin going right at it, yes in deed, and that will be most interesting,
I wonder Bulldog would get it on here. Bulldog is a, could be lucky not to be
thrown over after Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Look out Owen, just really get some
damage and the Bulldog coming right back to Austin, I've been stewing Helen Hart
here somewhere in attendance, and where to go Austin, and
Austin is going for a ride. And wow, And wait a minute,
I think that was Owen and they eliminated Bulldog, Owen Hart
is trying to, the Bulldog is angry, Bulldog just called him an idiot,
they're tag team partners, they're tag team champions, they're
brother-in-laws, so what his a whiner for every man himself, I understand that
although and was professing that it was an accident he was probably
gonna get Stone Cold Steve Austin out. Owen hasn't told the truth
to Sikkim was a friend. >> Listen to you now. I feel sorry for Owen. But it is every man for
himself as you brought up King [MUSIC] And here comes Goldust. >> Yeah. >> Who gave quite an accounting of himself
in a matchup with Helmsley earlier on, and of course Helmsley is still
in there as we speak. >> Look out, here comes Austin. >> Look at Owen, he's almost eliminated. Goldust has never competed in
the Royal Rumble match Since entering the World Wrestling Federation, so
let's be a little bit new to him, but it's real simple. It's every man for himself. You start throwing people over the top. There we go. And here's the way Owen and dumped. I don't know about that,
It looked accidental. No, I did to me, at least in slow motion. It certainly did not look accidental. Now Warren's gonna eliminate mill mask. That's good.
>> And look at this driving day, a moment ago, Stone Cold Steve Austin into gold dust
gold dust in his very first royal rumble. As you brought out earlier on Jr and. >> Uh-oh, look out, Máscaras down. Hook your leg Owen, hook your leg,
under the rope look at that. >> There you go. Masters is in magnificent condition or a man has been around as long
as he has hear in the sport. Yeah to be commended. I heard he really remembers the Alamo. And Owen Hart,
still in the Royal Rumble matchup. Sometimes you think it's made of elastic. He bends but he doesn't break. I wonder what is going on in
a Bulldog's mind at this moment, the Bulldog who has been
a stellar performer in previous royal rumbles eliminated by
his own brother-in-law and tag team partner, who's this,
that's Cibernético. Cibernético the youngest
competitor in this thing. He's only 20 years of age. The last 20 seconds. >> Yeah.
Well, he can go. I can tell her that and look at him. He's going right for
Máscaras, Cibernético. The southpaw, winding up Máscaras. Austin on the far right side of the ring, rusting comfortably
>> Look at this, Cibernético grew up a huge fan of Mil Máscaras, as were I'm
sure a lot of youngsters in Mexico. What an opportunity. I'm sure what an honor for
Cibernético, and Mil Máscaras to be in the ring
together for this young man. It's no honor to have somebody you looked
up to when you were a kid trying to pull your mask up and
ramming your head in turn buckle. Meanwhile, Austin over on the far
side if we see yes, Austin, Goldust and Owen Hart, and Owen Hart
would say do that to his own brother. Of course.
You're not kidding. Wait a minute. We got Helmsley hanging on the ropes. He almost went out. Helmsley right back at,
Cibernético, Mil Máscaras, Pierroth, along with Goldust,
Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Austin and
Owen Hart,and seven more seconds, wait a minute Helmsley,
no, Helmsley still in. Referees in there's check the feet. Make sure the feet in touch. [CROSSTALK]
>> Here comes trouble. >> Yeah, Sable. >> [INAUDIBLE]
>> Cibernético has been eliminated. [INAUDIBLE]
>> Going upstairs [INAUDIBLE] >> Máscaras, I think this eliminated himself. He did not want to, he may be confused with the rules. >> I'm not so sure Master it should
be allowed to get back in there. >> No where I got confused
there I got carried away and now they're the officials are Mass
versus Meta, a mental error there. This is his first Royal Rumble and it is a very unpopular decision by this capacity crowd [NOISE]
Has been eliminated. [CROSSTALK] And while man Mark Barrow sake it was just not that long ago that they were partners and told us in a while man. Well in any event it's every man for
himself and in 1997 Royal Rumble. >> And with Marlene and Sable out there it
may end up being every woman for themself. >> Those two guys shouldn't take it so
hard, it was no disgrace to lose to The King. >> Please. >> What? >> Who's it gonna be, who's coming in now? [MUSIC] >> That's the Latin Lover
started his career as a mass wrestler losses
matching the mass ever since. >> And Latin lover is gonna work
on Stone Cold Steve Austin that lovers a major star AAA organization,
A little loopy loo. >> I don't think so. [APPLAUSE] We'll have
more music trivia later. >> Latin lover just nailed Owen Hart
>> And it looks like, Simon got her
eye on the Latin lover, please. She certainly doesn't
have her eyes on you. Apparently sable and Maryland reconcile
as we talked about last night on shotgun. >> I don't know about that on rocky
maivia it probably be a little argument. >> Did everyone make too much,
He is fantastic. >> I think he saw Shawn Michaels
do that one afternoon. Look at the drop kick and Gold Dust
is able to step out of the way and step right into [CROSSTALK] has eliminated
Gold Dust [NOISE] It's almost out. [NOISE] Wasting no time. Don't tell me it's gonna be morrocan the
nation of domination winning this thing. >> Yeah,
I'll tell you one thing a man is lucky. >> He's already gone. And Baroque hammering
away on the Latin lover. >> Not loving that
[INAUDIBLE] [INAUDIBLE] How? >> He tried catch himself on the- [CROSSTALK]. >> [INAUDIBLE]. >> He's been eliminated with a two
by four and parents pension better. >> Two by four? all that
>> Made certain that Farooq was not going to win this thing if adventures
>> Look at that, look at that,
>> Later >> Made it. >> Owen Hart, the Latin Lover out. And that means Stone Cold Steve Austin's
out there all by himself again. >> Look at this. >> That's [CROSSTALK]
>> And Owen Hart had been eliminated
thanks to Stone Cold Steve Austin. [MUSIC] >> Savio Vega. >> He's not gonna give
Steve Austin anytime to rest. >> Remember that strap max they
had last year on pay per view. They whipped each other like animals
last year and neither have forgotten it. The real story in this Royal Rumble
thus far is Stone Cold Steve Austin. >> Austin now set up for
the ride here he goes into the pocket. Austin catapano. And a spinning heel kick by Savio Vega to get rid of Austin yet and out and over. >> All right off the road from behind
out driving us in Austin hook them up. Savio Vega, Vega,
put his feet on the throat >> Austin was all by himself. Once again, you might save it. All those trends,
Stone Cold, Steve Austin. >> How many men has he eliminated? Single-handedly look at this and
he's asking for more. >> I don't know if those kinda
records are kept around here. You see, often it goes to right here,
like takes out two at one time time. >> Wow.
Matt Joe at heart >> I'd given a cyst to Owen there. He almost had Marue, Excuse me, Austin. Bear.
In that particular exchange, >> And in four seconds Austin, somebody else Jesse James. Guy's a promising young singer,
I wish he'd promise to stop singing. [MUSIC] >> Look at that, look at Austin. Austin playing opposum. >> Double J is number 20,
10 more men still to come. >> And Double J with those left hands,
look at this, lefts and rights, he is quick. >> Uh-oh.
>> Double J sets up Austin to the right. >> Whoa.
>> To the buckle No, he doesn't get it. He got it all by himself again. Steve Austin. And you gotta give credit where it's due,
you may not like Stone Col. You may not like his attitude,
but Austin is a competitor. >> Well, the 60,000 plus fans. I'm assuming appreciate
Austin's intensity, they certainly do not
appreciate his attitude. >> Who will be next who will faint? Is Stone Cold Steve Austin
in less than 10 seconds. >> The quicker he can
eliminate up the more time he has to rest [NOISE]
>> Yes, yes, yes. >> [NOISE] [MUSIC] >> [INAUDIBLE]
When these two get together. [CROSSTALK]
He should have won the Federation championship. Back in West Palm Beach he acquires. They blame to Shawn Michaels for
not winning a championship and Hitman. Now what a tremendous opportunity,
to win the 1997 Royal Rumble. The Hit Man,
the 21st entry into the rumble. Well, Stone Cold has been in
this thing well over 20 minutes. Just past 20 minutes, I should say. >> And
he has to be running out of gas, JR. He's been taking rights and
lefts from everybody. >> 22, 24 minutes for Austin. Hard Irish whip by The Hitman,
coming with the high impact. Those nasty maneuvers, those tough ones I'm in your
face Stone Cold says The Hitman. >> Three, two, one. >> What's this? >> You are in it. >> Get ready.
[MUSIC] I've said it once,
I'll say it again, it takes a king. Jerry The King Lawler sneaking
up behind The Hitman Bret Hart. The King is up.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> I think we just saw a record broken. I think Lawler has just broken a record. >> I think he just said it,
it takes a king. >> To know a king, McMahon. I told you. >> You told us what? >> It takes a king to know a king. >> That's unbelievable. Do you realize you were just in the ring? Hello, King. >> What? >> You got your jacket all twisted and
wrong. You had enough time. You were in there long enough
to complete a sentence. The Hitman Bret Hart,
ladies and gentlemen. >> 24 minutes for Austin thus far. Bret Hart with that headbutt
in the lower abdomen. This is so very, very personal and Bret
Hart thought this morning when I talked to him on Superstars that he shouldn't
even have to be in this matchup. That he should have come into
the Royal Rumble as a WWF Champion. >> He shouldn't have even
been in this matchup. >> I think that's what I just said. >> Not because it should be the champion, it's because he shouldn't
even be in the WWF. He's a jerk! >> And who is, uh-oh. [MUSIC] Here comes the big man. [MUSIC] >> 6' 9", 315, 325 pounds,
somewhere in that vicinity. A lot of power and a lot of body
weight to get over the top rope. >> And here he goes right
away on Bret The Hitman Hart. >> Yes, yes. >> As they say in Oklahoma,
Bret got waylaid that time. >> And this man can do the job,
no doubt about it. Right back into Austin. No friends in there,
every man for himself. Diesel's in magnificent condition. Look at hat upper body development. >> Only seven more individuals to join
the fray of the 1997 Royal Rumble match. The winner of which goes
on to WrestleMania to face the World Wrestling Federation
champion for the title. >> Diesel, what are you doing? >> And Austin's going now. >> Get over there on the Hitman. And The Hitman,
Bret Hart coming over to help. >> Uh-oh. >> Rake of the eyes by Austin
causing some separation there. And look at the Austin and Hart, like
two pit bulldogs going right back at it, trying to take a bite out of each other. >> And
The Hitman to the buckle with authority. >> Bret Hart's sternum just struck
the top of the turnbuckle there >> Come on Diesel, help him, now's your chance, help Stone Cold. >> Well, here comes Terry Funk. He's jumping the gun, so to speak. >> Middle aged and crazy,
there's no doubt about that. Texas legend, Terry Funk, and boy is he ever in a tremendous
position to win this thing as well. I mean, drawing number 24, this man. >> We saw Austin and
Funk get it on last night on Shotgun. >> And a southpaw,
hard left hand, and again. >> Funk was rather outspoken last evening. >> To say the least, for
which we apologize for. Funk and Austin. Meanwhile, over on the other side
Big Daddy Cool Diesel almost had Bret Hart out. My.
>> Name like Funk, you know he's gonna be that way. He reminds me a lot of Mankind,
he doesn't care how much pain he absorbs. He doesn't care what happens to his body. Come on.
Terry Funk, get over there and get The Hitman. >> Terry Funk's brother, Dory Buck,
Jr., in the Royal Rumble last year. Of course, the son of the legend,
Dory Funk from Amarillo, Texas. A famous double cross ranch. And Funk to the buckle,
almost out and over. Upside down and
Funk is gonna be out of here. No, not quite. That's gratitude for
you in the Royal Rumble match. >> Terry Funk with those fists taped,
I should say. >> And you have to wonder whether or not there's a little
something extra in there. >> Look at this! >> No, no, Bret Hart pile driven. >> He didn't get him good though. >> No, he didn't
>> Here comes Rocky Maivia. Here he comes. Here comes the rookie. This man could win this thing. >> Stone Cold Steve Austin
almost fatigued, he's been in here over 30
minutes now has Stone Cold. >> Yes, and look at Rocky go,
taking it to Stone Cold and the thing is building right back up. >> Rocky Maivia, the son of the great
WWF superstar, Rocky Johnson. The grandson of the great WWF superstar,
the great Pete Maivia, The Chief Maivia. And look at this. Rocky, will take it to you. And there you go, Austin,
it's gonna be Rocky who eliminates Austin. [NOISE]
>> He stayed in all this time just to be eliminated by a rookie, aah! Thrown over, no. Bret Hart can't quite get him over. And Funk, saved, by a hair. >> That ring veteran knew where he was,
kept balance did Terry Funk. And now Diesel,
tremendous elbow right to the year right, right to the side of
the head of Rocky Maivia. >> I still can't believe they're having
a Royal Rumble without a king in there. Maybe I should go in there. >> King, I hate to tell you this,
but you were in there. You've been in there. Do you remember? Look out now, Diesel now in the corner. And Rocky's strong enough and
powerful enough to get the big man out. Hanging on to the ropes,
get himself wrapped up there. Do you remember? Five seconds and
counting who's gonna join us? The 1997 Royal Rumble heating up,
who's gonna win this thing? My goodness. >> Business just picked up. >> Don't tell me, this man's gonna win. We got Terry Funk and
Mankind in the same ring with Stone Cold, Bret Hart and the others,
anything's liable to happen. >> This could be a dream come true. Get rid of that rookie Rocky Maivia. And then you got Mankind,
you got Terry Funk, you've got Big Daddy Cool Diesel, and
you got Stone Cold all against The Hitman, wouldn't that be a dream come true? >> And look at this thing now,
Mankind in the ring, Diesel doesn't want to
have any part of him. >> No, no, Mankind. >> Who does?
Mankind goes right away to Terry Funk. >> Get The Hitman. >> And Rocky Maivia, almost, here. No, Funk hanging on by a thread. Mankind contuinuing to attack. Meanwhile, Diesel and
Rocky getting it on in the corner. >> Two young lions on one side of
the ring, two great veterans on the other. And then you got two bizarre ones right
in the middle there of your screen. >> Yes, indeed. >> He suplexed The Hitman right there,
way to go Stone Cold. Stone Cold content now, look at him,
to hammer away on Bret Hart's head. Bret Hart's head bouncing off the canvas. >> I ought to go in there and
do it myself. >> All right, we've got, ladies and gentlemen, Six competitors in the ring
that's what it comes down to. And the two sides another
one will come to fray. And man with the sleeper
>> [INAUDIBLE] separation. >> Here comes first track. [MUSIC] And another newcomer,
ladies and gentlemen. Relative newcomer to the WWF
just like Rocky Maivia. But when all of the here right
now in the Royal Rumble. >> Where the Funk f? >> And I don't think that they
should be involved in this, do you? >> I think they're in Terry Funk's
dressing room [CROSSTALK] >> And the piledriver. >> [INAUDIBLE] And now Bret Hart must read the ring of Stone Cold but
he's got to do it. I think Bret Hart is
gonna do just weakening >> [INAUDIBLE] What's he doing? >> [INAUDIBLE] One class might
notice no relation to Terry Funk. Last class that about you talk
about a high risk taker for you. And Austin hanging on, you're not
gonna get this man out like that. It's gonna be something of high impact. All right,
these are now in a forum on flash fun. >> When the far side of
the ring is unfortunately receiving all kinda bad
.Oh my goodness mankind. My man tank don't get a red
heart free man left to enter. Alright here we go who's coming to town,
