FunTranscript
00:00This is the only place you're going to hear about it exclusively this morning, right here on the Power Hour.
00:30From Austin, Texas, at 260 pounds, and after all, Justin Rose!
01:00In the ring is the corner for Moxville to receive Joe Cassana!
01:06A little tired, are you?
01:08I've been, uh, I'm doing all right. Glad to be with the fans.
01:12Logan, everybody. Jim Ross. Of course, you've already seen and heard from my esteemed colleague, Pauly Dangerously.
01:18You look terrible. Did you have any sleep?
01:21Yeah.
01:23Feel pretty good, as a matter of fact.
01:25Lee Scott, the referee of this contest.
01:27Dustin Rose, Joe Cassana. Nice shoulder block by the 21-year-old son of the American Dream, Dusty Rose.
01:35Quickly, moving between the legs.
01:37Arm drag takeover.
01:39Fans, we wanted to be able to bring you some footage of what happened this past Thursday in Tokyo.
01:46But the airline's lost your luggage, right?
01:48No, as a matter of fact, the tapes have been, uh, held up for review.
01:55And we do not, uh, have a copy of the tapes from this past Thursday.
02:01We hope to have it, uh, it may be as early as tonight, but more honestly, it's probably going to be next weekend.
02:08Well, what happened?
02:12Well, the controversy surrounds Ric Flair and Tatsumi Fujinami.
02:17I think the Japanese, their sportswriters, uh, fans, many of their officials, and many Americans that were there, uh, think that, uh, Fujinami has a legitimate claim to the WCW World Championship.
02:29And, uh, Flair is still the champion.
02:32He still has possession of the belt, but we had all kinds of problems.
02:34There's even people, uh, picketing, uh, signs, uh, picketing players, uh, leaving the country.
02:41It was, uh, very controversial, and we'll be talking about it, I'm sure, at length, uh, in the next, uh, new broadcast.
02:47Well, tonight at 6.05, right here on TBS on World Championship Wrestling,
02:52Flair and Barry Winderman are in a big tag team match against Big Josh and Wildfire Tommy Rich.
02:57Maybe you'd like to scoot down the ringside and talk to the heavyweight champion of the world about this whole situation.
03:02We know his feelings. I spent, uh, several hours with him already.
03:07Thank you for your advice.
03:08You're welcome.
03:09But, uh, he has, uh, been asked to talk very little about it to the media from WCW officials until this international incident can be cleared up.
03:20Yeah, but he's never been one to listen to authority.
03:22Well, we'll see how he reacts tonight at 6.05.
03:26Nice move there by Dustin Rhodes, who has really controlled this contest.
03:29This, this kid is certainly one of the bright young stars in WCW.
03:35I bet if you asked Dustin Rhodes, who's the heavyweight champion of the world, he'd say nature boy Ric Flair.
03:41Well, yeah, that would be a correct answer, Paul.
03:43I mean, he spent most of his teenage years watching his dad fight Ric Flair for the heavyweight championship of the world.
03:50Well, what is your point here?
03:51Dustin Rhodes is one of the many people that have a lot of respect for Ric Flair and his abilities.
03:56He knows what a great athlete Flair is because he watched him fight his dad for all those years.
04:01Dustin dropping the knee to the bicep of Joe Kazana, trying to charley horse that arm.
04:07He's doing a good job of it, too.
04:09So, fans, don't forget, we'll be back in the Magnificent Omni in Atlanta on Sunday, April 14th.
04:17That's Sunday, April 14th.
04:19Tickets are on sale now at all Ticketmaster locations.
04:23Yeah, but before that, there's a big TV taping this Monday night in Gainesville at the Georgia Mountain Center.
04:29And it's a big national TV taping.
04:31And I understand Dustin Rhodes has a big match on that night.
04:34Trying to go for a pin here using the hammerlock and a half Nelson.
04:40Got a couple of two counts out of it.
04:43Dustin, big rangey athlete, as we said.
04:45He's six feet six inches tall.
04:49Lights back.
04:52He's got a strong facial resemblance to his father, too, in my mind.
04:58Well, then you can't suspect a milkman, can you?
05:01No, I don't think I'd do that.
05:02Looks like he's, uh, he's his legitimate item.
05:07There is a lariat, a la a Barry Windham offensive move.
05:12Looks to me like he's setting him up for the Bulldogs.
05:16Brings him in.
05:17Irish whip, close line.
05:20And as Paul pointed out, the Bulldogs.
05:24Dustin Rhodes has certainly looked up impressive the last few weeks.
05:29So far, he's undefeated here in World Championship Wrestling.
05:36Utilizing the lariat that he obviously learned from his daddy and from Barry Windham.
05:41Here he goes.
05:42Takes Joe Kazana into the corner.
05:44Signals for it.
05:45Brings him out to the middle of the ring with a full head of steam.
05:49Wham!
05:49Into the Bulldog.
05:51One, two, three.
05:52For the natural Dustin Rhodes.
05:54Another great performance by the natural Dustin Rhodes here on the Power Hour this morning.
06:13We really appreciate you being with us here, everybody.
06:14We've got a great broadcast still to come.
06:16The eight-man tag team event.
06:17Rick Flair, Arne Anderson, Barry Windham, and Big Sid Vicious will be joining us a little
06:22bit later here this morning on TBS.
06:24And those men are being hunted by a young man by the name of Fly and Brian Pillman.
06:29Oh, they most certainly are.
06:30You know, it's like that movie, well, any one of the guys' movies by Clint Eastwood.
06:33You know where they come and they beat up his family and they smack around his wife and
06:36his daughter and everything.
06:38And then he takes a step.
06:39And he comes in.
06:41Well, Brian Pillman's doing exactly that.
06:43You see, Brian Pillman has decided one by one, he's going to go after Sid and Arne and
06:48Barry and Rick Flair.
06:49He says all four of them are going to fall one by one.
06:53Well, we're going to keep a special look for that situation.
06:56Not bad at all, Clint Eastwood.
06:58Ladies and gentlemen, when we come back, we're going to take a look at Terry Taylor and Miss
07:02Alexandra York.
07:03They'll be in our next event on the Power Hour.
07:06This is TBS.
07:07It's Terry Taylor.
07:35You're not having a very positive influence on Young ringing out the Tony Gilliam ball.
07:44I hate it, Scott.
07:45I know you're one of his role models.
07:47Oh, yeah.
07:48Tonight, Terry Taylor, member of the York Foundation, will defeat Tommy Angel in much
07:54in six minutes and 30 seconds.
07:58Well, you know, last week I talked to Miss York on World Championship Wrestling and we
08:03discussed the fact that beautiful Bobby and also the Z-Man were neither considered seriously,
08:10in her estimation, to be members of the York Foundation.
08:14I'm somewhat dubious of that assessment.
08:16But in any event tonight, I'm going to speak with Miss York and find out just who she is
08:20scouting and who is on the list of prospects.
08:24Well, who do you think it could be?
08:25I don't know if she's going after the veterans or if she's going after young athletes.
08:31I mean, it's very prestigious to become a member of the York Foundation.
08:35Not even nature boy Buddy Landell could make it.
08:37He has one more chance, from what I understand, tomorrow night to prove himself.
08:42That'll be on the main event when Terrence Taylor and Buddy Landell take on beautiful Bobby
08:47Eaton and a mystery partner.
08:48Now, who could that be?
08:50I don't know.
08:51He's had a lot of very successful partners.
08:53Maybe he's going to reach out from his past and bring one of them back.
08:56You never know.
08:58No, you never do.
08:59This could be a real VCR saver tomorrow night, huh?
09:02History could be made.
09:05Terrence Taylor snap bearing Tommy Angel over.
09:09Working on the neck.
09:11He'll be in Gainesville, Georgia, at the Georgia Mountain Center, along with 30 other great
09:16WCW Stars, this Monday night, tickets on sale to Gainesville Civic Center box office, and
09:22then we'll be in Anderson, South Carolina, at their beautiful new facility, their Civic
09:26Center there, this Tuesday night.
09:29It also starts at 7.
09:30And that is also a big national TV taping, which means that Terrence Taylor will have even
09:35more surprises.
09:36Oh, wow.
09:38Getting right to the face, we encourage our fans to bring their posters and banners to
09:42Gainesville Monday, and Anderson on Tuesday.
09:49Double arm suplex by Terrence Taylor.
09:52Beautiful form.
09:57Well, he's been very arrogant in recent weeks.
10:00Very, very conceited now that he's a member of the prestigious York Foundation.
10:06Well, look what he has backing him up.
10:08I mean, he's better than the mind of Einstein.
10:10It's the computer.
10:12He doesn't even have, she doesn't even have Mr. Hughes down here this week.
10:16She doesn't need him.
10:18I mean, is Tommy Angel going to go and beat up Alexandria York?
10:21No, but I've seen Mr. Hughes at right side with lesser opponents.
10:25Tommy Angel firing up.
10:28Towards some offense, and Terrence Taylor, with a blatant rake of the eyes, right in front
10:33of the official, throws out Tommy Angel, it's almost like Taylor hit another gear.
10:40Well, obviously, well, obviously the computer told him, pick up the pace just a little bit,
10:45and the reason Mr. Hughes is out there sometimes and not others is because beautiful Bobby's
10:51the type of guy that would run out and speck a lady like Alexandria York.
10:55Oh, I don't believe that.
10:56Neither do you.
10:57You can't believe that on your heart.
10:59I most certainly do.
11:00And I have no heart.
11:01Thank you very much.
11:02Taylor with that very unique offensive move there where he drives his own head into the
11:11jaw of his opponent, sets him up, and there's the five-arm.
11:17Taylor just dimmed the lights of Tommy Angel.
11:25Terry Taylor is the winner.
11:27Whoa!
11:28There's a Seaman.
11:30Seaman nails Terry Taylor.
11:33We have seen their problems develop over the last several weeks right here on TBS.
11:40Now, is that necessary?
11:43They've had a lot of problems here on TBS, I can tell you that.
11:47I mean, they came out of nowhere, Paul.
11:49I mean, Taylor just beat Tommy Angel fair and square.
11:53What's his E-man got to interject himself for?
11:56He's getting even.
11:58I would say his motivation is revenge.
12:02I'll get you, Terry Taylor.
12:04This ain't the end of it.
12:07Terry Taylor, quite an investment for Miss Alexandra York and the York Foundation.
12:11Now, tomorrow night at 6.05 here on TBS, the main event and one of the great matchups will be Terry Taylor and Buddy Landell against beautiful Bobby Eaton and a mystery partner.
12:22A lot of speculation as to whom that mystery partner might be.
12:25I tell you what I got.
12:26I got my VCR set.
12:28I got it set tomorrow for 6.05 and you should too for one reason.
12:31Because I have a feeling that tomorrow night history is going to be made right here on TBS.
12:36You know, Bobby Eaton rose to the top of the tag team ladder with two separate partners.
12:40And I got a gut instinct that tomorrow we just might see one of them emerge when Bobby Eaton needs him the most.
12:46Well, if we do see one of them emerge, which I think is a little bit doubtful, could we see their manager emerge as well?
12:53I don't know.
12:54He's kind of heavy in the rear.
12:55But here's the thing.
12:56If it's not one of the two partners, who would come to Bobby Eaton's side in his time of need?
13:01I got to see this tomorrow at 6.05.
13:03We'll talk more about it right after this time out.
13:05WCW Rolling Thunder Tour 91, Saturday, March 30th, in Philly at the Civic Center, 8 o'clock.

14:17From Porter, Texas, a 285 pound, St. Lillian Hibber.
14:23And this is the winner of the Philadelphia Pistolania, Jim Ball.
14:27Looks like he's still eating his breakfast.
14:28I think that's a big shawl there he's got running down his chest and his stomach.
14:34Oh, Jim Boss there attacking Stan Hansen from behind.
14:38He must have a death wish.
14:40And he's going to have that wish answered right now.
14:44Stan DeLarian Hansen,
14:45who was involved in a double disqualification brawl at Wrestle War with Big Van Vader,
14:56is in line for a rematch with Van Vader.
15:01I know WCW promoters are trying to negotiate that match.
15:06Fans, if you get a chance to see that one, don't miss it.
15:10That's worth the price of admission.
15:11That's an old cliche, but it's certainly true.
15:14I really wouldn't want to be at ringside for that match.
15:17Hansen has his opponent up on his shoulder.
15:21Fans, don't forget, I do thank you very much for calling the Ross Report each and every Saturday on the Wrestling Hotline.
15:27We've got a couple of special features this week.
15:29Go ahead, tell them all about it.
15:31Well, Monday, you can talk live to many of the top stars on WCW at the Fans Jam.
15:36Nobody cares about that.
15:37And then on Wednesday, you can call and talk to my colleague Paul E.
15:41And you can say anything that's on your mind.
15:43You can ask any question.
15:44You can make any comment.
15:46You can have any type of conversation.
15:48Wednesday night, this Wednesday night,
15:50beginning at 7 o'clock Eastern Time for an hour and a half with Paul E.
15:54And I can promise you, you will not out-talk him.
15:57Thank you very much.
15:58Even though we'll be off the air for that particular live portion at 8.30 Eastern,
16:03he'll still be talking well into the night.
16:06I most certainly will.
16:08Man, that is so devastating.
16:10This big man and big Van Bader are going to meet somewhere down the line.
16:14I want to see that one.
16:18You know, Paul at Russell, where they fought all around the ring,
16:20almost knocked Dusty Rhodes out of our seats.
16:24They're wild.
16:25I'm telling you that.
16:26Oh, and they fought all the way back into the dressing room.
16:29Stan, the Lariat, Hanson, obviously sending a message to big Van Bader.
16:33The Lariat right into Jim Voss.
16:36You have a question about the Lariat or anything else,
16:39this Wednesday live on the Wrestling Hotline at 7 p.m. Eastern Time.
16:43Hey, I'll answer your question like nobody else can.
16:47No one in the sport is any tougher than the bad man from Borger, Texas, Stan, the Lariat, Hanson.
17:04Not him.
17:05What does that mean?
17:05I'm not supposed to be tough.
17:06I'm an announcer.
17:07Certainly not you.
17:08I'm a tough announcer.
17:09Oh, compared to who?
17:11Missy?
17:12I could beat Missy up.
17:14You know, I'd like to...
17:14Arm wrestle Missy again?
17:15Maybe two out of three this time.
17:16Uh-uh-uh.
17:17Two out of three what?
17:18Two out of three arm wrestling.
17:19Yeah, go ahead.
17:20Come on, let's talk about Stan Hanson.
17:21Let's talk about Stan Hanson.
17:22We did talk about Stan Hanson.
17:23Remember that?
17:24What do you want to talk about now?
17:25The Steiner brothers.
17:26Okay.
17:26They're the world tag team champions.
17:27We're going to see them in just a few moments.
17:29Who, if anyone, can challenge the Steiners and wrestle the tag team championships away from them?
17:34Well, it's not going to be you and me, I'll tell you that.
17:36But I will tell you, I know I'm right, but it could be Stan Hanson and Sid Bicious.
17:39Or it could be Barry Windham and Arne Anderson.
17:41Or it could be a combination that we have.
17:43Hey, it could be Bob Yeaton and the guy that teams with them tomorrow night, because here's
17:46the thing, everybody wants to be the world tag team champions.
17:49The Steiner brothers right now are it.
17:52Fans, it is in the ring.
17:54Cousin it and his brother it.
17:55The Steiner brothers.
17:56Let's go to the ring and see them in action.
18:00I like that.
18:00Ladies and gentlemen, the following.
18:02Because it is.
18:05They're a little different, I can tell you that.
18:07You're a little different.
18:11Well, I want to tell you, they are very unique.
18:15Real wrestling machines.
18:18They had a very impressive matchup in Tokyo this past Thursday night, the Steiners.
18:23And I want to say that we're going to put that take together of our action in Tokyo and make
18:30it a very special pay-per-view that will be available on selected cable systems fans.
18:36That's the WCW Japan Super Show will be available on some selected cable systems at a very competitive price.
18:45I heard it was going to be around $9.95.
18:48And it's going to be from April the 7th until the 21st, somewhere in that time span.
18:54What happened during their match?
18:55I wasn't there.
18:56Well, I want you to buy the pay-per-view and you can see it.
19:00You won't tell me about it?
19:01No.
19:01And you won't tell me about Flarence Fujinami?
19:04Steiners probably had their greatest match.
19:07And that's before over 50,000 fans.
19:11Almost 60,000 folks are there.
19:13That's a lot of people.
19:14Mark Kyle starting out very nicely here on Scott Steiners.
19:17They've got to be a little tired.
19:19Oh!
19:19Well, didn't look too tired there, did it?
19:21Steinemann worked quite well.
19:23That hurt me.
19:23Next Saturday morning, we're going to show the fans how the Steiner brothers defeated the Fabulous Freebirds in that match in its entirety.
19:32I heard they're going to show that on America's Most Wanted for Highway Robbery as well.
19:36I don't think so.
19:37It wasn't Highway Robbery.
19:38The Frankensteiner brought it home.
19:40Yeah, but it brought it home without the services of Big Daddy Dick at ringside.
19:44Or Diamond Dallas Page.
19:45Or Diamond Doll.
19:46Or Diamond Doll.
19:47What does that have to do with how the Freebirds wrestled?
19:49They weren't ready.
19:50It should have been a non-title match.
19:52That's their problem.
19:53They could make it your problem if they wanted to.
19:57Oh, now what's he going to do to this poor guy?
19:59Oh, man!
20:00He's going to do whatever he chooses.
20:04Drops the elbow.
20:06You know the old joke about, you know, what do you feed a 500-pound canary?
20:10Anything he wants?
20:11Same thing goes for the Steiner Brothers.
20:13What are they going to do in the ring?
20:14Anything they want.
20:17Steiner Brothers looking forward to the big event in the Omni on Sunday night, April 14th.
20:21But they'll also be at our national TV tapings this Monday night in Gainesville, Georgia,
20:25and this Tuesday night in Anderson, South Carolina.
20:27Hope your fans will make plans on being with us.
20:29As a matter of fact, both those events in Gainesville and Anderson tickets will be on sale all day Monday and Tuesday
20:34for the Anderson event on Tuesday, and all day Monday for the Gainesville event.
20:38If they had an intelligence, they'd watch World Championship Wrestling tonight
20:42and see two teams that could conceivably be challenging them for the tag team title.
20:47Blair and Wyndham and Josh and Tommy Rich, and they're all in the same match.
20:52I'm sure the Steiners will be there and be tuned in as well.
20:58A kick to the midsection on Big Mark Kyle.
21:01Oh, there's Steiner lying.
21:06It just kills you.
21:07High-impact wrestling.
21:08That's what they like.
21:09Oh, this is one triple-tough tag team, and they are the world...
21:13Oh, no, no, no!
21:16Looks to me like Mark Kyle's in a world of hurt right here.
21:20Shoulder breaker on the 290-pounder.
21:24Rick Steiner.
21:26Got squatters rights up there at the top throat.
21:28Now, Kyle, as I said, almost 300 pounds.
21:36Scotty's got him up on his shoulders, and there's that bulldog right off the top rope.
21:42The world and United States tag team champions.
21:46They hold all the gold.
21:47They're the greatest tag team in wrestling.
21:49United States tag team champions, Steiner, come on!
21:53Of course, it seems like the Young Pistols and the Freebirds are going to be in line
21:56for a United States tag opportunity.
21:59That belt, theoretically, is up for grabs, but they still hold him technically.
22:04Oh, they most certainly do.
22:06Wham!
22:06Steiner line by Rick Steiner.
22:08Awesome strength by Scott Steiner.
22:09Holding Mark Kyle up.
22:11Rick Steiner coming off the top rope with a bulldog.
22:13But then he ruins it all, because look at Goofy.
22:16He's so happy he can't stop laughing, and Scott has to make the one, two, three.
22:19Fans, don't forget, the fans jam is Monday night, 7 o'clock, and you can talk to Paul E. Live
22:24this Wednesday night, beginning at 7 Eastern, exclusively on the hotline.
22:28Welcome to the Wrestling News Network, and the hot spot this week is the team of Terry Taylor,
22:50beautiful Bobby Eaton, and nature boy Buddy Landell.
22:54In the past couple of weeks, the first six-man tag team match against the tag team champions,
22:59Bobby Eaton accidentally stepped on a computer.
23:02The second week, a fight broke out between Buddy Landell and Bobby Eaton.
23:06Then Eaton and Landell met in a singles match.
23:09We're going to take a look at those three incidents as they occurred.
23:12Shoulder block there by Ricky Morton on Terrence Taylor.
23:15High crossbody press.
23:16One, two, and beautiful Bobby saves the day for Terrence Taylor.
23:20Up and over goes Bobby.
23:22Oh, Bobby fell on the computer.
23:24Beautiful Bobby was getting out of the ring, and he landed on the computer.
23:29Miss York, somewhat beside herself.
23:35Near fall there on Terrence Taylor.
23:39The computer apparently has malfunctioned.
23:43Now, this is going to affect the game plan, I can tell you that.
23:46Landell and Taylor putting the blame on beautiful Bobby Eaton.
23:59I can assure you it was an accident.
24:04If it's not broken, she should be able to go in and recall the information she had.
24:13She's really trying to get it back in operating order.
24:16Taylor, in the meantime, dropped Morton over the top rope there.
24:23Tends him for the ride.
24:24Double close line.
24:26Landell has been more than eager to come in this contest when his team had the distinct advantage.
24:32And he doesn't stay long before he tags in beautiful Bobby Eaton, who has been the workhorse in this one.
24:38Great move there by beautiful Bobby on top, and he almost had it.
24:47Tags in Terrence Taylor.
24:50The computer man of the 90s, he's called.
24:54Miss York, rumored to be interested in Eaton and Landell both.
25:01As members of the York Foundation, that only a rumor, backbreaker, couldn't get three.
25:11Here comes Landell back in, again with Morton on the disadvantage.
25:18Landell, seemingly Landell and Taylor are both picking their spots to make the tag.
25:23And then when it's a little tougher on them, they like to have Bobby Eaton in there.
25:29So, apparently, they're depending on him a great deal.
25:32Look at this arrogance.
25:34Oh, yeah.
25:35No way you're going to pin him that way, Landell.
25:41There's the tag.
25:42Beautiful Bobby in.
25:45First time he's been in with someone hurt.
25:50Beautiful Bobby held on the top rope and delivered a crunching blow to Ricky Morton.
25:56Beautiful Bobby with a devastating clothesline, and now he goes up to the top.
26:04He may win it right here for his team, but Morton rolled out of the way.
26:09Morton had rolled out of the way.
26:11Beautiful Bobby needs him, but Junkyard Dog has been tagged in.
26:15J-Y-D dealing out some punishment.
26:22Beautiful Bobby from behind stops the Junkyard Dog.
26:25Now let's see if Taylor and Landell can take advantage.
26:28J-Y-D.
26:30Landell and Terrence Taylor, double clothesline, their own partner.
26:34J-Y-D is getting the duke.
26:37High elevation.
26:42Beautiful Bobby here on the power hour, up in the lights, and Landell came in.
26:49He tried to stop Rich, but he stopped the beautiful Bobby in the face.
26:56Rich nailing Terrence Taylor.
26:59And he kicks him in the face.
27:05Really an interesting set of circumstances here.
27:08Eaton did not look too happy on his way to the ring.
27:11He was double clotheslined by both his partners last week.
27:16Vertical body press there by Tommy Rich.
27:18And again, Landell misfired, stomped him in the face.
27:22Then his own partner in the face to the elbow.
27:25Beautiful Bobby has had all of Taylor.
27:27Owen Landell, but he will tolerate.
27:35Beautiful Bobby taking a hike back to the locker room.
27:39Ricky Martin and the Junkyard Dog.
27:48After what has transpired the last couple of weeks here on TBS,
27:53not only on the main event, but also the power hour,
27:58has come down to this grudge match.
28:00Landell was pinned last week.
28:03But before he was pinned by the six-man champions,
28:07he not only stomped beautiful Bobby, but he dropped the elbow on him as well.
28:12Eaton retaliated with a dynamic right hand that has brought us to this grudge match.
28:17Inside cradle by beautiful Bobby.
28:20They pin him right here.
28:23Landell still wants to impress Ms. Alexandra York,
28:28as we all know that she is scouting for potential new members of the York Foundation.
28:34Landell rumored to be one of those potential prospects.
28:38Beautiful Bobby rapidly becoming one of the most popular figures in WCW.
28:46The native of Huntsville, Alabama.
28:51Not Montgomery, but Huntsville.
28:53What a neckbreaker.
28:56Great move there.
28:58Landell sat a little early.
29:00And beautiful Bobby had some choice words there to say about Landell.
29:07Standing vertical suplex.
29:10Beautiful Bobby, whose career was directed so long by a manager,
29:14is now adamant that he will not be associated with anyone.
29:17Wait a minute, there is Terrence Taylor.
29:19Terrence Taylor shoving beautiful Bobby off the top rope.
29:26Taylor and Landell now double-teaming beautiful Bobby Eaton.
29:35These three men have been involved in two very hard-to-swallow losses
29:40here on TBS and Six-Man Tags.
29:43And now Taylor and Landell taking their venom out on beautiful Bobby,
29:50being stomped by both men.
29:52He is in a helpless situation.
29:54Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the match,
29:55the new qualification,
29:57beautiful Bobby!
29:59Well, tomorrow night, of course, then, on the main event,
30:07we will see beautiful Bobby Eaton
30:09and his mystery tag-team partner against Terry Taylor
30:13and a nature boy, Buddy Landell.
30:15I asked Eaton about his partner, and he said,
30:17never mind, he's been in tag-team matches.
30:19So we'll find out more tomorrow night on the main event.
30:22Now, an aside note, if I may.
30:24Recently, Tatsu Fujinami wrestled Ric Flair
30:27in the Egg Dome in Tokyo, Japan.
30:29The World Championship was on the line.
30:32I have not yet seen the videotape.
30:34However, journalists from around the world,
30:37and especially in Japan,
30:38have been saying that Fujinami really got a raw deal.
30:42Well, Ric Flair still holds the title,
30:45but a rematch has to be in order.
30:48That's Wrestling News Network for this week.
30:54Tonight, Tommy Wildfire, Rich, and Big Josh
31:20will take on Nature Boy, Ric Flair, and Barry Windham,
31:22and one of our great men of this, ladies and gentlemen.
31:25That's tonight at 6.05.
31:26On World Championship Wrestling,
31:28we'll have another Nikita Koloff workout video.
31:31One and only Sting will be there.
31:34Paulie will talk to the one-man gang
31:36and the very, very bizarre Kevin Sullivan
31:39in the danger zone.
31:40That and much, much more,
31:42including Missy Hyatt with Lex Luger tonight at 6.05.
31:45Well, I never thought I'd say it
31:46because I've always been the president of his band club,
31:49with the Scarsdale chapter,
31:52but Gordon Soley is really a jerk.
31:55What do you mean by that, Paul?
31:56I mean, why would Nature Boy Ric Flair
31:58even consider giving Tatsumi Fujinami a return match?
32:02Well, it may not be up to Flair to call.
32:04That shot is going to be determined
32:06by the WCW Championship Committee.
32:08I mean, I don't care what all these journalists...
32:10Well, you weren't there, Paul.
32:11And Fujinami does deserve a rematch.
32:13I was there as well.
32:15But when the tapes are released, we'll all see.
32:17Nice hip-lock, good reversal
32:19by Tommy Rich, arm drag takeover.
32:23And secondly, a lot of us that do this job
32:26of wrestling play-by-play
32:28have learned a great deal from men like Gordon Soley.
32:31You could, too, if you applied yourself
32:32and not be a know-it-all.
32:34I'm not saying I know it all,
32:37but I know for a fact that Nature Boy Ric Flair
32:39is the heavyweight champion of the world.
32:42Arm drag again.
32:43Of course he is.
32:44We've documented that.
32:46And he overstated the obvious
32:47Saturday morning after Saturday morning.
32:50And now I'm going to be overstating it
32:52Saturday night after Saturday night
32:55after Saturday night.
33:00Well, Missy Hodgman
33:02campaigning for more airtime.
33:05Oh, that'd be wonderful.
33:06And so, you know, you guys...
33:08And that's also getting to be
33:09a very infantile environment.
33:12So fire her.
33:13I don't hire and fire anybody here.
33:15Who does?
33:16I'm not getting into it with you.
33:18You've been...
33:18You ought to know that.
33:20I know.
33:21You've been hired and fired from here before.
33:23Follow the same process.
33:24Shoulder blocked there
33:25by Sergeant Buddy Lee Parker.
33:27And this State Patrol
33:29got to be considered
33:30one of the leading contenders
33:31for the United States Tag Team Championship.
33:34As we said,
33:35the Steiners have turned the belts over to WCW.
33:39But until new champions are crowned,
33:41they are still technically
33:43the U.S. Tag Champions
33:44even though they're not
33:45defending those titles right now.
33:46Yeah, but there are a lot of teams out there
33:48that want that title.
33:49The Fabulous Freebirds say
33:50that they're going to get that title.
33:52The Young Pistols say
33:53that they're going to get that title.
33:54Tommy Rich and Big Josh
33:55would like everybody
33:56wants to be
33:58the U.S. Tag Team Champion.
34:01Sergeant Buddy Lee Parker
34:02of the State Patrol.
34:04Who do you think
34:05is going to get the belt?
34:05Having a very impressive outing here.
34:09Me, me, me.
34:10Who do you think
34:11is going to get the belt, Jim?
34:13I think it'll come down
34:14to the Freebirds
34:15of the State Patrol, Paul,
34:16quite honestly.
34:17I think the Freebirds
34:18will win it there, don't you?
34:19They should be the favorite.
34:21Elbowed there
34:22by Sergeant Buddy Lee Parker.
34:23I mean, they should beat
34:24the State Patrol.
34:25He's got him up.
34:28Nice vertical suplex.
34:30That was very well done.
34:32Very sound match
34:33being wrestled here
34:34on the Power Hour
34:35by Sergeant Buddy Lee Parker.
34:37I'm very impressed
34:38with his one-on-one attack,
34:41even though his buddy,
34:42Barney Fife,
34:43or Lieutenant Wright,
34:44or whatever his name is,
34:45is at ringside.
34:49Wildfire.
34:49And Big Josh tonight
34:51against Flair and Wyndham.
34:54Two great hours tonight.
34:55Uh-oh.
34:56Oh, that'll change your attitude
34:57on a Saturday morning.
34:59Oh, it most certainly will.
35:02Fans, tomorrow night,
35:03we are going to show you
35:05a tremendous grudge match.
35:07It has been signed.
35:08Barry Wyndham will meet
35:09fly-in Brian Tillman
35:11tomorrow night here on TBS.
35:13You've got to be kidding me.
35:14Fly-in Brian is going to
35:15step in the ring
35:16with one of the four men
35:17that took him out
35:18in the war game.
35:19It's going to be
35:20a real brawl
35:21exclusively here on TBS.
35:23That's tomorrow night
35:24at 6.05.
35:25Nice elevation
35:26by Tommy Wildfire Rich.
35:29This is becoming
35:29a real brawl
35:30very quickly.
35:32Another Irish whip.
35:34Tommy with a clothesline.
35:36Lieutenant James Earl Wright
35:37just knocked off the apron.
35:40Now, there was no reason
35:41for that.
35:42Nice.
35:43You're right.
35:43He shouldn't have been
35:44on the apron.
35:44Vertical press there
35:46by the best press.
35:48Now, Lieutenant Wright's in.
35:49That's an automatic
35:50disqualification.
35:52Tommy Rich will win
35:53and wait a minute.
35:53No!
35:54There's Big Josh
35:55with his axe handle.
35:58Big Josh
35:59with his axe handle.
36:01I gotta do it!
36:03I gotta do it!
36:03I gotta do it!
36:04He needs to stop doing this.
36:06He heard him say,
36:06I gotta do what I gotta do.
36:08He can't stand the cheaters
36:10and the rule breakers.
36:11Well, if he can't stand them,
36:12then he'll be in a rage tonight
36:13because those two
36:15tonight will take on
36:16Flair and Wyndham.
36:18This guy has got to
36:20stop bringing that stick
36:21to the ring.
36:23I'm looking forward
36:23to that big man event
36:24tonight, Paul.
36:25These two against
36:26Ric Flair and Barry Wyndham.
36:27Fans will talk more about it.
36:29As a matter of fact,
36:29we'll see those gentlemen
36:30in action after this.
36:33You know, Paul,
36:34Big Josh has a little problem
36:35restraining himself
36:37and containing his emotions
36:38when Tommy Rich
36:39is being double-teamed.
36:40Well, I heard Big Josh
36:41is kind of like
36:41a retarded puppy.
36:42You know, you can't
36:43help but love him.
36:44But I don't like this guy at all
36:45and I'll tell you why.
36:46He sets a bad example
36:48because the guy
36:48does not belong
36:49in a wrestling ring.
36:50He's a lumberjack.
36:51Chop down some trees.
36:53Don't mess with the big boys
36:54here in WCW.
36:55The big boys are coming up
36:56in just a few moments.
36:57It's an eight-man tag team event.
36:58Flair, Anderson, Wyndham,
37:00and Vicious
37:00in an eight-man tag team event
37:02should be dynamic.
37:03It should be dynamic
37:04and once again,
37:05Flair, Wyndham, Anderson,
37:06and Vicious
37:07have to keep one thing in mind.
37:08There's a man out there
37:10with a vendetta against him.
37:11His name is Flying Brian.
37:12It's kind of like
37:13Buford Pusser
37:14coming in with a big stick.
37:15He's looking to get
37:16at Flair, Anderson,
37:17Wyndham, and Vicious
37:18one at a time.
37:20And another man
37:21that, of course,
37:22as we have discussed
37:22is looking for
37:23nature boy Rick Flair
37:24is Tatsumi Fujinami.
37:26We'll talk more about that
37:27a little bit later
37:28in the broadcast,
37:29but when we come back,
37:30it's going to be
37:30eight-man tag team competition.

41:35like anybody else
41:36this may take more
41:37stronger
41:38more intense pressure
41:39to make him hurt
41:40but he is a
41:42a real specimen
41:43a one of a kind
41:44no way
41:45tag made
41:46here comes Rick Flair
41:47he's not a human being
41:48he's a monster
41:49a giant
41:49invincible
41:50indestructible
41:51invulnerable
41:52and there he is
41:53the heavyweight
41:54champion
41:55of the world
41:56I find it very ironic
41:58that
41:58one has to assume
42:00that Wyndham
42:01Anderson and Vicious
42:02would all love
42:03to be
42:04the world's
42:04heavyweight champion
42:05the horsemen
42:07per se
42:07have gone
42:08their separate way
42:09every now and then
42:11you'll hear a reference
42:12to the horsemen
42:13Tony Gillum
42:13made it earlier
42:14but very seldom
42:15and they put out
42:16a press release
42:17the horsemen
42:17the four men
42:18are still friends
42:19but they are all
42:20going to do
42:21their own thing
42:21and when they need
42:22to come together
42:23they will
42:24well that's because
42:25what they did
42:25was liquidate
42:26the corporation
42:27and get their money
42:28out of it
42:29that's fine
42:30that was a
42:30business decision
42:31Sid Vicious
42:32now in the ring
42:33absolutely
42:34manhandling
42:35his opponent
42:36he has Keith Hart
42:38high above his head
42:39Hart
42:40so
42:42physically
42:43overmatched

42:51right leg
