00:12The following contest is the Triple Threat Match for
00:18the World Wrestling Federation Championship.
00:22Introducing the participants.
00:25First, weighing 328 pounds.
00:29One, two, three.
00:36Will Kane be the next World Wrestling Federation Champion?
00:41The Big Red Machine, seven feet tall.
00:46The younger brother of The Undertaker.
00:48Weighs at least 325, Kane.
00:52I'm a little concerned about one thing here, JR.
00:55What's that?
00:55Well, this entrance, what's wrong with this picture?
01:00Where's The Undertaker?
01:01Why are they not together?
01:02Why are they not showing unity here?
01:05Why is Kane coming out alone?
01:08I don't like that.
01:11I mentioned it earlier.
01:12Maybe this brotherly love that The Undertaker and Kane have been
01:16publicly professing isn't true and just as true.
01:26I think I know what it really is.
01:29When I just saw that right there, I realized that it's something much deeper
01:33than what we're thinking.
01:34The Undertaker loves his brother so much, he wants him to have his share of the spotlight.
01:59The Undertaker.
02:02The Undertaker.
02:04The Undertaker.
02:06The Undertaker.
02:10The Undertaker.
02:13The Undertaker.
02:15The Undertaker.
02:36The rattlesnake struck first. The rattlesnake struck first. Austin's going to try to eliminate The Undertaker early. Austin with a
02:46steel chair. Where? Austin. Damn rattlesnake. Austin dividing. But will he conquer? Austin knocks down the big red machine who
03:00pops right back up.
03:06The toughest SOB and the WWF doing everything he can to eliminate either The Undertaker or Kane. And it's The
03:15Undertaker who's down.
03:18And Austin is trying to throw a monkey wrench into McMahon's master plan. Austin's going to try to put it
03:22away early. The bell sounds. We're a stone cold stunner away from Austin. Shocking the world. And shocking Mr. McMahon
03:31and the master plan. Oh yeah.
03:35Come on Kane. You got to take the upper hand. Keep him down. So The Undertaker can get there.
03:41Slammed there by the seven footer.
03:44Will we see the physical, mental and emotional breakdown? A stone cold Steve Austin tonight.
03:52No, no.
03:53Austin saw it coming. Able to sidestep. The big red machine. The demon in red.
03:58My God. With a steel chair in hand. Here comes The Undertaker.
04:04The Grim Reaper himself is coming for you Steve Austin.
04:10Austin. But he looks a little shaky.
04:12I can't imagine. So Undertaker may have a concussion.
04:17Thanks to Stone Cold. Stone Cold took one over the top.
04:23And right out in the arms of the Phenom.
04:27Another seven footer that Austin's got to contend with.
04:31And remember, unlike normal triple threat matches, The Undertaker cannot pin Kane.
04:37And Kane cannot pin The Undertaker.
04:40And nobody can come and help Steve Austin.
04:43Mr. McMahon has painted a huge bullseye.
04:46And my God, The Undertaker just exploded.
04:54Are you okay, Undertaker?
04:58Undertaker, what a collision with a ring post and the steps.
05:03This doesn't look good.
05:05Uh-oh.
05:06This looks real bad.
05:09The Undertaker may never be an uncle after that move.
05:14Watch.
05:16Well, that'll slow down any big red machine.
05:20Well, this crowd is stunned here with what they are witnessing.
05:25Austin, the point of the elbow.
05:26You saw it perfectly.
05:27Great camera work right into the heart of Kane.
05:36Austin looking for that stone cold stunner.
05:39The Undertaker is, there it is.
05:41He got it.
05:42Austin got it.
05:43It's over.
05:45Wait.
05:45No.
05:46The Undertaker pulled Austin right out.
05:48Austin had the match won right there, damn it.
05:52No, he didn't.
05:54You're saying that the King was gonna get up from the stunner?
05:56I'm saying this is a triple threat match.
05:58There are three men in there.
06:01Each man has two other individuals to worry about.
06:03Yeah, I'm wrong.
06:04There are three men all right.
06:07Undertaker and Kane only are worried about one man.
06:10They can't pin each other.
06:12Their brothers can't.
06:13They're prohibited.
06:14Right.
06:15And that means advantage Austin.
06:18How do you figure that?
06:18He can pin either of two of these guys.
06:20My God, I'd hate for you to-
06:21To pin me in court.
06:23He can pin either The Undertaker or Kane.
06:26He's got twice the chances that the other two have.
06:29One, two, three, four.
06:30Boom.
06:30What body shots.
06:32Undertaker rocking Austin with scintillating body shots.
06:36Get out, Kane.
06:38It sounded like a 30 off six exploding right into the rib cage of the Rattlesnake.
06:48This was great.
06:49The crowd started an Austin chant and The Undertaker just turned around and stared into the faces of this huge
06:55crowd.
06:56And they shut up.
06:57He chilled them.
06:57Undertaker took the crowd right out of it.
06:59Whipping Austin in.
07:01Austin caught the under there walking into the elbow.
07:05Austin fighting back, striking.
07:07The Rattlesnake fighting for his luck, fighting for his title, fighting for his career.
07:12But he got took out of his boots with a tremendous, a tremendous clothesline.
07:18That should be-
07:19Austin will not stay down.
07:21Somewhere it just hasn't happened yet.
07:23But we gotta get The Undertaker and Kane both at 100%.
07:26We have to, what are you?
07:28I mean, Mr. McMahon's liaison.
07:31Mr. McMahon and The Undertaker.
07:32Kane have to do it.
07:33No!
07:34Lucas Prince!
07:36Kane, get around there!
07:37By his hands, by Stone Cold, Steve Austin.
07:44Austin now doing what he can to-
07:46No!
07:47Kane out of the ring now, even though he landed on his foe.
07:50Austin down.
07:51I thought Austin would have a chance right there with Kane on the outside, but that is not to be.
07:59Well, if any human being, any human being can overcome this two-on-one disadvantage, it's Steve Austin.
08:07But I don't know if even the Rattlesnake-
08:09Go!
08:10Swinging that break.
08:11Cover it!
08:14Austin going for the cover!
08:15And referee Earl Hebner, no stranger to controversy.
08:19Got a near fall there.
08:20Austin, smart move, keeping Kane on the outside.
08:24It's working so far, he's trying to divide and conquer.
08:28Austin has kept only one of his, The Undertaker and Kane in the ring at the same time, but this
08:33is looking bad.
08:35Undertaker and Kane now.
08:37Here comes The Undertaker on the outside.
08:38Yeah!
08:39Here we go!
08:40Now it's an alley fight with two demons, two demons against the WWF Champion.
08:45Uh-oh!
08:48Undertaker missed Austin and nailed Kane.
08:51He hit Austin with a glancing blow, but he also hit Kane.
08:53Now wait a minute, guys.
08:55Big Brother hit Little Brother with an errant right hand.
09:05And you gotta stay as a unit!
09:07Look out!
09:08Oh, Austin from behind!
09:10Undertaker Kane with his crack together!
09:15Look at this!
09:16Austin choking Kane with one of the TV cables.
09:19Come on!
09:20And now Undertaker choking Austin!
09:23Undertaker choking Austin!
09:28Come on, referee, get in there and get that cable away from Austin!
09:31Yeah, why don't you go help him?
09:34The Royal Canadian Mounted Police couldn't get The Undertaker off and Kane off of Austin.
09:44One thing's for sure, The Undertaker and Kane, they know what they're doing.
09:48They know they can't win the title this way.
09:50They're gonna beat Austin down.
09:53They're gonna continue this assault.
09:56And I gotta give, I gotta give Errol Hebner the referee credit.
10:00He's allowing a little bit of latitude to the rules here.
10:03Austin just face first right into the, to the announce table here.
10:08From our neighbors, the Spanish boys.
10:11Uh-oh, what are they gonna do here?
10:14Look out, fellas!
10:15Oh!
10:17Austin face first, right on the announce table.
10:22And The Undertaker and Kane, wherever Mr. McMahon is, I bet he's got an ear-to-ear grin.
10:28He's got to be happy now.
10:31He's master playing.
10:33That's right, it's working.
10:34We love, let's talk about master playing.
10:36It's working for The Boss.
10:41Austin, like shooting fish in a barrel for The Undertaker and Kane.
10:45Hey, watch Mr. McMahon and some of these moronic fans trying to help him come out and
10:49strip the title.
10:50Will you stop it?
10:52No outside interference allowed whatsoever.
10:55Come on, Austin, come on, buddy, let's go!
10:57Austin is all by himself.
10:59The Rattlesnake fighting the most two dominant athletes.
11:04Perhaps they will ever compete in the WWF.
11:08But the most popular WWF champion of all time is fighting.
11:13By God, he's fighting.
11:15No!
11:16That didn't work.
11:17Not enough strength in anyone.
11:22Look here.
11:23What?
11:26Our colleagues, our Mr. McMahon's buddies.
11:28His emissaries, don't you dare say Stooges.
11:32Okay, they're not Stooges.
11:34They're colleagues.
11:37They're coming out to enjoy the carnage being orchestrated by The Undertaker and Kane.
11:43They've got to report back to Mr. McMahon exactly what's taking place out here.
11:48Which one's Shimp?
11:51I didn't get it.
11:52Austin hurt bad, man.
11:55Austin barely stand.
11:56I mean, Undertaker's getting three shots.
11:58He got a seven-footer, 328 pounds with three shots.
12:04How long can any mortal human being last?
12:06With those three guys out here, where do you think McMahon is?
12:11I really don't know and I really don't care.
12:14Wait a minute, look around.
12:15Skybox.
12:16Skybox.
12:17Come on, Undertaker, get in the ring, come on!
12:19He's up in the owner's box.
12:20Austin being choked, being stomped, being double teamed.
12:25This is great, I like the way they're dragging it out.
12:28This McMahon is really, Mr. McMahon is really enjoying this.
12:32Well, it's a vaunted master plan.
12:36And it will come to fruition if Austin leaves here without the WWE title as Mr. McMahon has guaranteed.
12:47Imagine having that kind of power, JR.
12:54Listen, I'm not so sure the referee should just stop this.
12:59I can't believe my eyes.
13:00I think it's also, just a second ago, flipped off the Stooges.
13:03I mean, Mr. McMahon's colleagues.
13:05Austin would kill, he would maim a referee for stopping a match that he was involved in.
13:12But somewhere, you gotta utilize some common sense.
13:15There's no sense in allowing this man, Stone Cold Steve Austin's career, to be taken away from it.
13:21In his prime.
13:23By these two monsters.
13:25And why not?
13:27He's a human being, damn it!
13:30Fight him, Austin! Austin fight him back!
13:33Come on, Cullen!
13:34It's fighting like hell!
13:38Oh, no!
13:39Oh, no!
13:40Austin the power!
13:41No!
13:43Yes!
13:46That little particle board covering the ice.
13:48Come on!
13:49Here in the Coliseum.
13:53And man, it...
13:54There's no padding, folks.
13:57It's not meant to fall on, as you can imagine.
14:02You know what, JR?
14:03This is a fitting way for this to all in.
14:07For the master plan to culminate into this.
14:10Because, you see, Stone Cold could have done it the easy way.
14:12But no!
14:14He wouldn't do business with McMahon.
14:16He had to do it the hard way.
14:18And look at him stumbling, bumbling now.
14:20Go ahead, take your lumps, Austin!
14:22Austin's out of this.
14:23You're getting what you...
14:24Woo, woo!
14:25After Briscoe!
14:27Austin, after Briscoe!
14:28Woo!
14:28And look, hey, wait a minute!
14:30The damn commissioner who stumped Austin!
14:32I didn't see that!
14:33No, I saw it!
14:35Everybody else saw it!
14:36That was self-defense!
14:40Why don't you just handcuff him while he's there?
14:43And hobbling, shackling!
14:44Look at this.
14:46Look at poor Gerald Briscoe, he is hurt.
14:49Wait a minute.
14:52Austin being drugged.
14:54Kane just helped Briscoe to the back.
14:57Yeah.
15:00Austin's out.
15:02Folks, we are seeing the end of Stone Cold Team Austin as we know him.
15:07And you know as well as I do that Vince McMahon is loving this.
15:12He's enjoying this wholeheartedly.
15:16Just remember this.
15:17Hey, Stone Cold.
15:19McMahon didn't screw Stone Cold.
15:21Stone Cold screwed Stone Cold.
15:24How come every time we come to Canada, we've got controversy around the WWF time?
15:29Oh, wow.
15:30Austin, my God.
15:32What's the controversy here?
15:37Austin will fight your ass.
15:39Excuse me, he'll fight you with everything he's got.
15:42And I swear to you folks, you gotta believe.
15:45You gotta believe he can do it.
15:48Like that's gonna help him?
15:50All these morons believing?
15:51I haven't given up.
15:52I haven't given up any hope.
15:58Here's how the match started tonight.
16:00Austin got the jump on the Undertaker.
16:02Come.
16:03Boom.
16:06That's how it started.
16:07Yeah, you think that was fair?
16:09No, not really, but- We saw how it started, but we all know how it's gonna end.
16:14This whole match isn't fair.
16:16Life isn't fair.
16:18So deal with it.
16:22I'm not gonna give up on Austin.
16:25Call me what you want.
16:27I'm not gonna give up on Austin.
16:28I think I hear one of those bye-bye chants starting.
16:33Kiss that WWF title goodbye, Austin.
16:37I tell you what, I don't know if another human being walked in the face of the earth
16:42that could have withstood this this long.
16:47Could have been so easy too, JR.
16:50Mr. McMahon's a very reasonable man when you do business.
16:54Hey!
16:54You're picking the Vince McMahon.
16:56Knock it off!
16:56Mr. McMahon.
16:57Yeah.
17:00Knock it off!
17:01Well, you have a different relationship with him than I do.
17:04Look at this!
17:06Kane!
17:08Turn around!
17:09Austin fighting back!
17:10I told you!
17:11Don't give up on him!
17:12Don't give up on the Rattlesnake!
17:14Austin with everything, he's got this party!
17:16He's breathing, he's fighting!
17:19He's flipping!
17:21Big right hand!
17:21Big right hand!
17:23Big right hand!
17:27Austin just, he just bowed that head ever so slightly and paid.
17:33He paid a price.
17:37And now, the WWF Champion once again,
17:43finds himself in a defenseless position against these two huge, heinous monsters.
17:56These poor morons, they're hoping against Hulk, JR.
17:59They're taking your advice.
18:01They're not giving up.
18:02Come on!
18:04I never, ever, will ever count out-
18:06Uh-oh!
18:07Stone hole, Steve Austin!
18:09Ref!
18:09Ref!
18:10Ref!
18:11In the chair!
18:13Oh!
18:13Yes!
18:14Yes!
18:15It could be over right there!
18:17Austin going for the cover!
18:19He's going for the cover!
18:20Oh, damn!
18:25Undertaker with a-
18:26This will be all!
18:27It's gotta be-
18:28Hey!
18:28Hey!
18:30Oh, my!
18:31Wait a minute!
18:34What's that-
18:34What's that understanding you guys got?
18:38Undertaker, I'm not gonna repeat what I think he said to his little brother.
18:42But Undertaker had Austin beat right there after that tear shot.
18:47But thanks to Kane, the match continues.
18:50Come on, Kane!
18:51Come on!
18:53Get in here, Undertaker!
18:55Get in here!
18:57I mean, what else, what else are they gonna do to this guy, JR?
19:00Austin barely able to sit up.
19:02Barely able to even sit.
19:04I'm not so sure the Rattlesnake even knows where he is.
19:09Ooh!
19:09What a shot by The Undertaker!
19:11And look at Kane!
19:14What's Kane doing?
19:15Oh, right off the top!
19:16With a sledge right in Austin's spine!
19:19That?
19:20That'll be all.
19:21Come on!
19:21That's it.
19:22Wait!
19:23Undertaker just pulled Kane off!
19:25Huh?
19:26Well, what about that brotherly love?
19:29Mr. McMahon!
19:32Kane wants to be the WWF champion.
19:35And so obviously does his big brother.
19:39They've worked it out.
19:41No, wait a minute!
19:42From behind, The Undertaker nailed his brother Kane!
19:44What are they doing?
19:46I don't believe it!
19:47Don't do this!
19:49Don't do this!
19:50There is hope for Stone Cold yet.
19:53Remember, Kane and The Undertaker cannot pin each other.
19:57But they can, and they are, and they will pin each other.
20:00Look at this!
20:01Look at this!
20:02Kane and Austin!
20:06No way!
20:09No way!
20:10No way!
20:11No way!
20:11No way!
20:11No way!
20:12We now see Kane and The Undertaker have some hellacious fights!
20:16We saw a glimpse of that, and now Austin for the Undertaker from the outside has a chance.
20:22Austin has a chance here.
20:25Uh-oh.
20:27No!
20:28Side-rushing legs sweep by Stone Cold.
20:30Could that be enough?
20:32Austin on top.
20:33One, two, and ten kick down.
20:35It sets up.
20:36It is not enough.
20:37Obviously, emphatically, no.
20:43We've got big problems in paradise, Mr. McMahon.
20:46What a headbutt right across the bridge of Austin's nose.
20:49Where is McMahon?
20:51It's not my day to watch him, and I personally don't care.
20:55Wait a minute.
20:55Maybe things are getting back to normal here.
21:01Undertaker and King now both back up.
21:04Watch your back, Undertaker.
21:05Austin goes right back down.
21:12Undertaker and Kane again conversing.
21:17Trying to get things worked out.
21:18I think they've done it.
21:24You know, Kane's not the great communicator.
21:26He has a little bit of problems with negotiations.
21:28But I think now The Undertaker, I think The Undertaker, I think they've come to some sort of an agreement
21:36now.
21:37Strong right hand by Kane on Stone Cold Steve Austin.
21:44You know, I think this referee has been instructed to not allow any countdowns, not even to tip the countdown.
21:51You know what, this is kind of great in a way because it gave all of these people here a
21:56little bit of hope.
21:57Just a little bit.
22:01Now Kane and The Undertaker are back on the same page.
22:03How in the hell can Austin even be standing?
22:07This is absolutely amazing.
22:09He is, Austin is an amazing human being.
22:15Is it now a matter of time?
22:17Tell you why he's still standing, because he's doing it the hard way, not the easy way.
22:23Come on, ref.
22:23There's a cut in by Kane.
22:25Champion.
22:27And Undertaker, he shoved his brother off.
22:30And now Undertaker wanted to take.
22:31Wait.
22:34Well, The Undertaker and Kane are having, they're having family problems.
22:40They both have had the opportunity.
22:43What a ride by the Phenom.
22:45They both have a chance to be the champion.
22:47Come on, guys.
22:49Well, they have had some hellacious battles.
22:51The Inferno match, among others.
22:55Boom.
22:56WrestleMania.
23:00And the younger Kane now seems to be gaining an advantage over the Phenom.
23:07I'm telling you, these guys, look at, look at the commissioner.
23:11Come on.
23:11Patterson, they can't know what to do.
23:13They're concerned.
23:14The Undertaker and Kane have been unable.
23:18Mr. McMahon's gotta be.
23:19Superiority here between each other in these fights.
23:22Mr. McMahon's gotta be pulling his hair out.
23:24No.
23:26Double clothesline.
23:27Will that give Austin a chance he needs?
23:29What are you telling him?
23:30He's gonna be hit lost and not each other.
23:33Oh, yeah.
23:34Austin, he's got some fight left in him.
23:36The Rouse, he's got some denim left.
23:39Austin trying to stomp the hell out of The Undertaker and Kane.
23:43The WWE pilot is on the line here.
23:48The Rattlesnake striking with everything he's got.
23:52No.
23:54Undertaker, through the ropes.
23:58Austin, every fiber in his being.
24:01Kane pops stone cold and power slam.
24:06A scoop power slam by Kane.
24:09Cover him, Kane.
