00:00You see, the ultimate maniac has felt these large hands around his neck.
00:07He's felt the breath leave his body.
00:10He is feeling right now the Intercontinental Championship slipping off his waist,
00:17slipping back to where it belongs, the Heenan family.
00:20You're referring, of course, Bobby, to another Heenan family member,
00:23former champion Rick Rude.
00:25But as a journalist, I gotta ask you,
00:27will Rick Rude be jealous if Andre becomes champion?
00:31It's like that very wise man Charles Manson once said.
00:35And it's like Archie Bunker used to say,
00:38it's all in the family, Jess.
00:41What about the ultimate maniac's vow never to lose the belt?
00:45Oh, Jesse, this ultimate maniac, he's broken more vows than the Gabor sisters.
00:50And vows are meant to be broken, just like your neck.
00:54And I'm just the man who's going to do it.
01:01Let's go break some necks.
01:04Once again, Bobby Heenan stresses family values as the key to victory.
01:09And the ultimate warrior, you're just an orphan in the storm.
01:13Back to you, McMahon.
01:16All right, Jesse, indeed, this is one of the greatest championship match-ups we
01:21have ever had on Saturday night's main event.
01:24The ultimate warrior, the champion against the challenger, making his way to the ring.
01:29Certainly the biggest threat, both literally and figuratively, ever for
01:32the ultimate warrior's reign as Intercontinental Champion.
01:36Look at the size of Andre the Giant.
01:39Bobby the Brain Heenan could very well take the title back to the Heenan family.
01:43But standing by right now, Mean Gene.
01:48All right, ultimate warrior, ultimate warrior.
01:51You've heard from Andre the Giant and Bobby the Brain Heenan.
01:55They believe, they believe, warrior, that they have the advantage in this Intercontinental title bow.
02:00They believe that you fear the giant.
02:02Fear!
02:05Fear!
02:05Fear is an aberration!
02:08Fear is the air the cowards breathe!
02:12Fear is the first taste of defeat!
02:17The warrior only breathes the air of the brave!
02:22And the warrior only feasts on the fruit of victory!
02:29Fear!
02:31Vince, I see no sign of fear in the eyes of the ultimate warrior tonight.
02:35Back to you.
02:38All right, here we go, Jesse.
02:40Intercontinental title up for grabs, and here comes the champion.
02:45And have you ever seen anyone head to the ring with this kind of exuberance, this kind of enthusiasm?
02:51He better have enthusiasm, he better have enthusiasm, because take a look at what's looking at him.
02:59You're talking about a threat to the Intercontinental Championship.
03:02There's not a bigger threat, and I mean that literally, a bigger threat in the whole world than right there,
03:09Andre the Giant.
03:11Welcome to the Warrior psyching himself up for this incredible task.
03:16And the bell has rung officially the match underway, Andre rubbing his hands looking forward to the lockup.
03:23So is the Warrior, Andre making light, making fun of the Warrior's tactics, and the Warrior puts on the brakes.
03:30You know what's good about Andre?
03:32He doesn't have to go anywhere.
03:34Eventually, they gotta come here, but he's going after the Warrior.
03:39Andre blatantly choking the Warrior, trying to stop the Warrior's enormous strength.
03:44Warrior fighting back.
03:48And so far, this is Andre's game, Jesse.
03:50Exactly, we've seen this before, McMahon, the choke out of the Warrior.
03:55And we may see it right here, right now.
03:58I can feel it, the Intercontinental title slipping away from your hero, the Warrior.
04:04And the Warrior choked down into the outside.
04:08And you notice Bobby Heaton walked away, no interference from Bobby,
04:12total confidence in his man.
04:16Andre moving back in now into the corner, Warrior firing off.
04:21Slowing the big giant down a bit.
04:24You gotta come up with more than that to slow up.
04:26Wait a minute, I think he has.
04:28Andre can't breathe.
04:29Look at that, McMahon.
04:31He's using Andre's tights to choke him out.
04:34Where's all that muscle he's supposed to have?
04:37Why is he frequently breaking rules?
04:40Come on, Jesse, you saw what was happening earlier.
04:42It was Andre the Giant who started all this choking.
04:45And it could be the Warrior who's gonna finish it.
04:48Look what he's doing to the 500 pound Giant.
04:51Absolutely, but Andre was only using his hands, McMahon.
04:55He wasn't using them for an object.
04:57Wait a minute, the Warrior over.
04:59Andre ducking down and saving himself from that clothesline.
05:05And the Warrior really had a beat on the Giant.
05:08Yeah, but he didn't hit him with it.
05:10The Warrior is back in trouble outside the ring.
05:13Andre's getting back to his feet.
05:15And the Warrior's easy prey here for the Giant.
05:18A kick to the midsection, Warrior firing off again.
05:23A shot, another shot to the midsection, open handed down in the abdominals.
05:28No.
05:29Andre now, really stretching the Warrior out.
05:32And the key to this right here is the Giant's leverage right here.
05:37I don't care how strong the Warrior is.
05:39If you look, Andre's bending him back.
05:41Warrior not allowed to use that great strength that he has.
05:45Andre with the clear advantage right here.
05:47Headbutt to the back of the shoulder.
05:49Warrior trying to get out of it.
05:51And Andre at 500 pounds.
05:53And all that leverage leaning right down on the Warrior.
05:56And Andre looks like he's enjoying himself.
05:59Look at the muscularity, the muscularity in the arms of the Warrior.
06:03I thought you were talking about Andre.
06:06Warrior still trying to power out of this.
06:08And it looks like he's gonna make it.
06:10Andre trying to hang on to dear life.
06:13The Warrior just itching more and more out of this hole.
06:17Andre losing his grip.
06:20Warrior fires off and breaks the hole.
06:22But clothesline, a good one.
06:25And a huge clothesline.
06:28Andre, through the ropes, to the outside.
06:31And the Warrior's taking it to the floor.
06:34Now what business does this guy have going out to the floor, McMahon?
06:38The match is supposed to be in the ring.
06:41That's exactly where the Warrior is right now.
06:43Waiting for Andre to get back in.
06:45And we'll wait for him to get back in.
06:47The match resumes when we return with more Saturday Night's Main Event.
06:55Going on with the Giant.
06:57Hanging on to the official's ankle there.
07:01And just now making his way back into the ring after several attempts.
07:05And the Warrior continues to stop.
07:07The Warrior really, wait a minute.
07:10Andre with a shot to the throat.
07:13Andre a blatant chukwu.
07:15Andre using that bottom rope, ramming it down across the throat of the Ultimate Warrior.
07:20As you said, McMahon, turnabout's fair play.
07:23It was the Warrior that went out to the floor.
07:25So Andre's just continuing the battle, Warrior style.
07:30And the enormous Andre the Giant, back into the ring now.
07:34Apparently in control.
07:35Double chop to the neck.
07:37Gary, look at that.
07:38A camera look up there, holding the Warrior.
07:42Andre really putting it on, the Giant.
07:46And if any one human being can make the Giant submit as a result of a bear hug,
07:52it'll be the Ultimate Warrior.
07:55Bobby Heenan yelling that he's got him by the trunks.
07:57He does not.
07:58Well, I have to concur with you.
07:59It doesn't look like it to me, but you know, Bobby's gotta say what he's gotta say.
08:04As big as the Warrior is, as powerful as he is.
08:07We saw a moment ago, his hands just barely reaching around the girth of Andre the Giant.
08:14It's Andre now, applying more pressure on the trapezius area,
08:19really digging down into the trunks.
08:21And the Warrior's hands are slipping, McMahon.
08:24The hold is broken, and it's Andre the Giant who's coming out on top.
08:31Andre really digging, a headbutt.
08:36The Warrior is rocked.
08:38Andre feeling the effects of the bear hug as well.
08:41Both of these guys are on Hurt Street right now.
08:45Uncharged by the Ultimate Warrior, and Andre lowered his shoulder on him.
08:51Andre now countering, and Andre with a bear hug.
08:55The Giant with a little hug of his own here on the Ultimate Warrior.
09:01It's turned into a total power match, McMahon.
09:04Strength against strength, right in the center of the ring, as it should be.
09:09Look at those forearms, literally no effect on Andre.
09:16Andre hanging on.
09:19And you wonder at this juncture whether or not it's an offense.
09:23That's definitely an offensive maneuver there.
09:26The Warrior on his hands and knees now, Andre the Giant coming over.
09:32Why did you see that?
09:34Did you hear that?
09:38The Warrior.
09:39And another chop by the one, another one.
09:44The Warrior is hammering the Giant.
09:48Andre, two handfuls of hair, headbutt.
09:53And what a battle strength against strength, McMahon.
09:56Just when you think one man has the upper hand,
09:59the other guy counters it with a power move of his own.
10:03Off the ropes now, Andre missing in the roundhouse, right?
10:05Warrior on title and another bear hug.
10:07And look at this, Andre locked in the ropes.
10:11Now why isn't that referee stepping in there and releasing the Giant's arms from the ropes?
10:16The Warrior off the rope, here he comes.
10:19Right into the foot of Andre the Giant.
10:24Terrific move.
10:25What's Heenan?
10:26Heenan just grabbed the championship belt.
10:29Bobby, you haven't won it yet.
10:31The official trying to help Andre the Giant and Bobby Heenan taking his shot at The Warrior.
10:36Warrior on his own.
10:41I'm puzzled as to why Bobby Heenan did this.
10:48And Warrior hammering on Heenan while the official has ever tried to unlock Andre in the ropes.
10:53He has him unlocked.
10:55The Warrior now has Heenan up in the air.
10:57He shoves him to Andre the Giant.
11:00They're both are down.
11:02They're both outside.
11:03And The Warrior has won the matchup.
11:08Obvious disqualification.
11:09I've got an interview to do.
11:10I'm out of here.
11:12All right, Jesse heading back for his interview with Genius.
11:15Meanwhile, the action continues to the outside.
11:18Andre in the water, still hammering away.
11:21The winner of this bout, as a result of the disqualification, and still
11:27international champion, the ultimate goal.
11:34The Warrior is victorious.
11:36Bobby the Brain, he is hurting.
11:37Andre the Giant is hurting as well.
