“1994” quotes from Survivor Series

[on Jeff Jarrett's CD, "Ain't I Great"] I understand it's on the NAA label, Vince.

The NAA label? What's that?

Not available anywhere.

Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has counted all members of the Teamsters out of the ring. The winner and survivor of this bout: the Bad Guy, Razor Ramon!

Imagine that if you would. Razor Ramon victorious against all odds. Shawn Michaels with one instruction too many. Shawn Michaels and Diesel, apparently with a huge difference of opinion, one I'm not so sure can be repaired.

[exiting the building] Can you believe that ungrateful leech, what he just did to me? I made that guy. I got news for you. Did you hear of Big Daddy Cool before you heard of Shawn Michaels? No, never. And he treats me like that? That's it, I'm finished with this. You know, you'd think I'd know better. [Struggles to open the car door] Come on. You think I'd know better with this tag team stuff. He turned his back on me like a rabid dog. I got nothing to do with him ever again.

Wait... I don't understand.

He turned on me like a rabid dog. I made him. He's a zero without me.

He's a zero without you? Wait, what's that? Diesel is on his way.

You tell Big Daddy Cool, he needs a ride, try hitting the pavement! Hit the bricks!

Bret Hart, against all odds is somehow hanging on! Owen Hart, standing by with his mom and dad, watching Bret suffer in this hold!

[to Helen] Throw it in! You've gotta throw it in!

[Helen takes the black towel from out of the grasp of Stu Hart. Stu attempts to stop her, but Helen throws it into the ring before he can do anything] OH NO!

SHE THREW THE TOWEL IN! SHE THREW THE TOWEL IN! [The bell rings and Backlund releases the hold. Owen enters the ring and retrieves the towel. The referee then raises Backlund's hand in victory] And the towel has been thrown in! Oh no! [Owen, both towels in hand, runs backstage] But wait a minute! Wait a minute! I'm not going to believe this until there's an announcement.

[Stu and Helen discuss what had happened, while Bret continue to rive in pain] Hitman is hurt, Vince, and hurt bad.

[as referees check on Bret] Gorilla Monsoon, I think we have a new World Wrestling Federation Champion, and Helen Hart did what she had to do.

What's a mother to do?!

And... oh no. This can't be. [WWF officials arrive and help Stu and Helen get Bret out of the ring. Meanwhile Backlund is being offered the belt, and Backlund requests the belt be put around his waist] Can you believe this? Officials here in the WWF trying to help Bret back to the dressing room area. Imagine the anguish that Helen Hart and Stu must feel...

Hitman...

Imagine... because it was Helen Hart who finally yanked the towel out of Stu's hand and threw it in, and thus she ended the match, and thus she ended the reign of Bret Hart. Oh no.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner of this contest, and NEW World Wrestling Federation Champion: Mr. Bob Backlund!

[Over Finkel's announcement] Look at that! That's gotta break Bret Hart. That's gotta break his heart!

Well we've come full circle, eleven years has gone by, and Bob Backlund is once again the reigning World Wrestling Federation Champion.

I can't believe it, I cannot believe it! Bob Backlund wears the World Wrestling Federation Championship! George Foreman did it in boxing; Bob Backlund has just done it at the same age, 45, in the World Wrestling Federation; and Backlund looking at his hands, his characteristic look, I don't know that he can really believe it.

But the Hitman, Vince, never quit.

This crowd is stunned. Look at that. That says it all, that look. This is the New Generation? I shudder to think!

This is the flag-bearer now for the World Wrestling Federation?

We're being told, ladies and gentlemen, not to cut Backlund's celebration short. Look at him, he's actually acting like he's 10 feet tall! Look at him.

Obviously, we've just witnessed some...we thought you were having compassion for your brother. Vince McMahon said we're seeing the "true Owen Hart." This obviously was some sort of setup.

A setup? You got it right, that was a setup! This is the greatest Thanksgiving of my life! And Mom and Dad? [Laughing] You fell right into my trap! You threw the towel in! And Bret, you're no longer the WWF Champion! Mr. Backlund is! And Bret, I could've beaten you before, but you cheated; but now you're nothing! You're below me, you're down there in the gutter, Bret! You're not a champion anymore, [sing-songy] you're a loser, and I'm a king, and Bret, you're a nobody. I'm gonna be the WWF Tag Team Champion, I am gonna be a WWF Intercontinental Champion, and Bret, I am gonna be the WWF World Heavyweight Champion; and I, unlike you, will never quit, I will never surrender! You're a quitter, Bret! Mom and Dad threw in the towel, and you're history, Bret. And I am the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. Don't you forget it, brother. Woo!

Let's go back to ringside. [cut back to the commentary table]

I can't believe it.

What a creep! Unbelievable! I thought he was showing legitimate compassion! Tears were running down his face, Vince!

I actually feel betrayed. I mean, for Owen Hart to...he was pleading with his mom and dad...

How could you do that?

...and all along...

How could you do that to your mother and father, and your brother? What kind of an ingrate...he's a worse individual than I thought he was. He's a creep, first-class.

There's not a great deal you can say. Bob Backlund, the new World Wrestling Federation Champion. And fans here...

A lot of folks crying in this arena. I don't blame them. Imagine what Stu and Helen feel like right now.

Let's go back up for more action.

I am standing with Bob Backlund. He did exactly what he said he was going to do. Agree or disagree with his tactics, he is now 2-time WWF Champion...

[interrupting] Wait a minute, wait a minute. First of all, young man, it's Mr. Bob Backlund, and you're incorrect. I've been the Champion since 1978. I never lost the Championship. Tonight I just regained the belt, and I beat the man that represents your society! I beat him so I could save you! I'm going to scrutinize you to the fullest, pasteurize you, homogenize you, and synchronize you back into morality! You understand, ladies and gentlemen? It's sports-education! I'M YOUR CHAMPION! And I'll take on anybody...anybody at all, ladies and gentlemen, in your generation, 'cause I'm fighting for something that's more important than anything in this world, is put morality back into your lives; and now your children have somebody that they can emulate after, and try to catch up to... 'CAUSE I FEEL LIKE GOD!!!

Alright, thank you very much, Todd Pettengill. What's your reaction to Bob Backlund?

Well, we're in trouble, Vince.

I guess maybe we are.

You know, but... he made a stupid statement there. He said, "I never gave up," but he got the title back here tonight in the same fashion that he lost it in Madison Square Garden – by someone throwing the towel in. When is he gonna wake up and look in the mirror and say, "hey, it happened before, it's happened again, now I'm the champion, you're gonna have to live with it"? We're gonna have to live with it.
