00:00:00The wrestling world better get it.
00:00:02It's the package, it's the nature bar, it's the lovely Miss Elizabeth.
00:00:07And we are, woo, styling and by God, profiling, woo, Hogan.
00:00:15Come on, big man, bring the yellow red to the nature bar, woo, woo.
00:00:22Tonight Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair will go one on one live here on TNT.
00:00:27In six days, this Sunday, Ric Flair and Terry Funk will battle in what is now being turned as a death match.
00:00:34And that means pitfalls do not count.
00:00:36After a successful pitfall that does not count in the winning or losing the match,
00:00:40there'll be a 30-second rest period.
00:00:42A man will then have 10 seconds to answer the bell.
00:00:45If he cannot, he'll lose the match.
00:00:47He and Terry Funk this Sunday, Flair and Funk will have a fight to the finish, Markman.
00:00:52What that means, Tony, is that Ric Flair and Terry Funk are gonna take this 10-year-plus rivalry they've had
00:00:59and beat each other half to death.
00:01:01It's not a conventional wrestling match, it's a death match.
00:01:04But that's okay, because that's what they both want.
00:01:06I think it's what the fans want too, on Sunday at SuperBrawl, everyone gets what they want.
00:01:12SuperBrawl 2000 is sponsored by Snickers, it's only six days away.
00:01:17And as we come to you from the Nassau Coliseum, right outside of Manhattan in Long Island,
00:01:24here at Uniondale, home of the Islanders of the National Hockey League,
00:01:30we bring you this event and these matches leading up to SuperBrawl 2000.
00:01:37Dare say, a very confident TotalPackage going that he's got Hogan in six days,
00:01:44and he's going to go in against the hardcore legend right here in Terry Funk, six days out.
00:01:49Wouldn't you be confident if you were in the TotalPackage?
00:01:51On Sunday at SuperBrawl, he wrestles a part-time wrestler.
00:01:54Hogan's an actor who dabbles in wrestling.
00:01:57Sting is an actor that dabbles in wrestling.
00:02:00The package is gonna knock him off one after the other.
00:02:03Heck, I'll be surprised if the Screen Actors Guild doesn't see the package.
00:02:06Hold on, you're saying that Hogan, even though he has had his number of movies,
00:02:10has been on many television programs, has been without a doubt,
00:02:15the biggest media star of any pro wrestler ever, is an actor who dabbles in wrestling?
00:02:21Right now he is.
00:02:22When was the last time we saw him in a wrestling ring?
00:02:24Back in October, actually.
00:02:26That's a pretty long time ago, isn't it?
00:02:28So you're talking about current state.
00:02:30Exactly, nobody can take away Hulk Hogan's legacy or his greatness.
00:02:34But in the past five months since October, Lex Luger's been wrestling,
00:02:38he's been training, he's been looking better than ever,
00:02:40he's been getting stronger than ever.
00:02:42I just can't see a part-time wrestler beating the total package.
00:02:46Not Hogan and not Sting when it comes to that eventually.
00:02:49He is magnificent, and he's got company in the ring.
00:02:53He's telling Elizabeth to stand right there.
00:02:55I don't think he realized, look at him.
00:02:57He doesn't realize that's Terry Funk.
00:02:59He's telling Elizabeth to take off my tights.
00:03:01Guess what?
00:03:04It's Terry Funk.
00:03:05Bring up the lights.
00:03:07We're off and running.
00:03:08We've got total package of Terry Funk.
00:03:10What a maneuver that was by Funk from behind.
00:03:13Funk is gonna sneak up on you a lot more than you'll sneak up on him.
00:03:17Funk also went after, too.
00:03:18Absolutely.
00:03:19A better one than the other two, I might add.
00:03:23I've seen some of those Sting and Hogan movies.
00:03:26The screen actor's guilt should soothe them.
00:03:28It's been a long time since Terry Funk's been a mover, but he's also been on some
00:03:33television programs.
00:03:34But he has, in the later stage of his career, become nothing less than,
00:03:39as we said, a hardcore legend.
00:03:41And the fact is, he has become that legend on many fronts.
00:03:46The biggest of it's the fact that Terry Funk can take chair shots,
00:03:50can take meetings, can take tables.
00:03:53I mean, he's been in five wire matches and he keeps coming straight ahead.
00:03:57And that's the legendary Terry Funk for you.
00:04:00He was hardcore before there was hardcore.
00:04:02You could just leave it right at that.
00:04:04The total package sent him on the outside.
00:04:07By the way, I like Sutter Speed.
00:04:10Sting's last movie, that was pretty good.
00:04:11Sutter Speed was very good, I would agree.
00:04:13A lot of action.
00:04:14A lot of things going on with WCW Superstars in movies and television programs.
00:04:20Diamond Dallas Page has his book we're gonna talk about.
00:04:23His brand new book that you can get an advanced copy on.
00:04:26We'll be talking about that.
00:04:27Geez.
00:04:31Pick, get hard.
00:04:36The lower back to the steel safety rail.
00:04:39The fans are loving this.
00:04:40Terry Funk said he didn't look at Funk going underneath the ring.
00:04:43What's he got?
00:04:44A table.
00:04:45Of course he does.
00:04:46He's not gonna set it up for that wedding in the back, is he?
00:04:48No, he's not.
00:04:49He's gonna use it out here, I think.
00:04:50The wedding reception that's going on in the back.
00:04:55And look at Elizabeth.
00:04:56I can't believe people like that are allowed to reproduce.
00:04:59Now Terry Funk's stalking Elizabeth, but the package cuts him off with a double axe.
00:05:04Boy, Elizabeth knew what she was doing that time, Mark.
00:05:07She is, she's as smart as they can.
00:05:09Yes.
00:05:10She loves the women in this sport.
00:05:11Absolutely, she lords Funk away that time from the table.
00:05:14And enabled the package to attack from behind and effectively now stop the efforts of Terry
00:05:20Funk using the table.
00:05:21She bought some time for the total package to get back into this.
00:05:25And now the package has the table.
00:05:30Funk looks really dazed on the outside here and the package is gonna try to slam him through that table.
00:05:35My, look up high.
00:05:38Gorilla press slam right through the table and it snapped it in half.
00:05:44I bet Funk twitches have left that table under the ring now.
00:05:49Funk, as you can see in a lot of pain.
00:05:52He's twitching like a snake with his head cut off.
00:05:55But we both know when the snake gets his head cut off, he doesn't die for a while.
00:05:58Terry Funk is by no means done in this match.
00:06:01Yeah, we have seen him twitch before.
00:06:03I would agree with that.
00:06:04The package is not done.
00:06:07Nice move right here, Mark Bennett.
00:06:10He hurt the man with the back up against the table.
00:06:15And then he drove the man's back into the hard edge of that ring apron.
00:06:20He is now continuing to focus on the back of Terry Funk.
00:06:23Pretty sound strategy for the total package.
00:06:25The package is student of the game.
00:06:26He knows everybody's weaknesses.
00:06:28And he takes those weaknesses and combats them with his own very ample strengths.
00:06:33The man you'll face at Super Brawl 2006 days.
00:06:37Hulk Hogan later tonight against Ric Flair.
00:06:40Here live at the Nassau Coliseum on Nitro.
00:06:42But right now you can see all the effort and all the focus is not on Super Brawl
00:06:47and the total package.
00:06:48It's on Terry Funk and he's taking the hardcore legend apart.
00:06:52How can part time wrestlers hope to compete with the magnificent athlete
00:06:57that is the total package?
00:06:59That is a very good point.
00:07:01I'm not gonna agree calling Hulk Hogan a part time wrestler.
00:07:07He is too much of a legend.
00:07:08He's not right to be considering one.
00:07:10But the fact is, he has taken a few months off.
00:07:13And what effect will that have tonight against Flair and Sunday against the total package?
00:07:19I'll tell you what, the package is taking a big chunk out of Funk.
00:07:24That could affect him for his match against Ric Flair and Deathmatch, don't forget.
00:07:28He was going to wreck him.
00:07:30But Terry Funk with a back kick between the legs and the DDT.
00:07:35Stop the total package cold.
00:07:37He'll make a cup.
00:07:38Two is Mickey J and that's all.
00:07:40Reverse neck breaker.
00:07:46I have never seen anything like Terry Funk.
00:07:49There is nothing to compare him to.
00:07:51There is nothing or anyone that's ever been like.
00:07:54He is literally pulling himself up.
00:07:56He has gone uptown for a moonsault.
00:07:58But the package has to.
00:08:00Elizabeth shot the table underneath the bottom row.
00:08:06Or the chair that is underneath the bottom row.
00:08:08And Funk landed on the chair.
00:08:11The referee's going for the barrel.
00:08:15And speaking of barrel, Funk just got his rung.
00:08:18That's the metal equivalent of a lobotomy.
00:08:22That was incredible.
00:08:23There's that maneuver we've seen the package through so often.
00:08:26Funk's arm in the chair.
00:08:28And it's Arne Anderson grabbing the chair away from the total package.
00:08:34Get on out of here.
00:08:35When he was going to break the arm of Terry Funk.
00:08:37What's that all about?
00:08:38Get on out of here.
00:08:39And that's an interesting story.
00:08:42Arne Anderson, a post confidant of Ric Flair.
00:08:45He's been close to the total package.
00:08:48What is that all about?
00:08:49That's gonna be G.
00:08:51We have just received word that the WCW executive board has made a ruling.
00:08:57Commissioner Kevin Nash has got news regarding Jeff Jarrett and Sid Vicious.
00:09:02Oh, there will be a title match tonight.
00:09:04However, when Vicious and Jarrett meet, it will not be for the WCW heavyweight title.
00:09:10It will be for Jeff Jarrett United States title right here.
00:09:15What a bombshell.
00:09:17I can't believe.
00:09:18I don't know who in the hell they think they are.
00:09:21Let's go, boys.
00:09:22Let's go, boys.
00:09:23Come on.
00:09:24Let's go.
00:09:25I don't know who in the hell they think they are.
00:09:29How's my pulse?
00:09:31Bracing?
00:09:33I need some medicine.
00:09:40I need some medicine.
00:09:47No.
00:09:49No!
00:09:50No!
00:09:51No!
00:09:53No!
00:09:54No!
00:09:55No!
00:09:56No!
00:09:57No!
00:09:58No!
00:10:00My face is all right.
00:10:01I've got someministration.
00:10:03I've got some medicine.
00:10:04No!
00:10:05Yes!
00:10:06No!
00:10:07No!
00:10:08No!
00:10:09Daphne got the bouquet.
00:10:12Daphne got the bouquet.
00:10:13She's not invited.
00:10:15And now, David Flair and Crowbar are ruining the wedding reception.
00:10:20They weren't invited.
00:10:21Of course they weren't.
00:10:22Unless they came with Joe Pesci.
00:10:26They destroyed the wedding cake.
00:10:29I can't believe that in pro wrestling,
00:10:31a cake ended up thrown on somebody at the end of a wedding like that.
00:10:34I've never seen anything like it, ever.
00:10:36Yes, you have.
00:10:39I just didn't remember it right now.
00:10:44So, we know that the Mabalukes are going to spend the World Cup
00:10:48game against David Flair and Crowbar with Daphne.
00:10:54But I would venture to say that based on what just happened,
00:10:58the Mabalukes will go in wanting to take apart this unstable duo of Crowbar and
00:11:04David Flair.
00:11:06our first look at Harlem Heat together.
00:11:09And last Monday, it was the Disco Inferno against Stevie Ray of the new Harlem Heat.
00:11:16In a one on one matchup, Stevie Ray is one of the biggest and toughest in all of WCW.
00:11:22No doubt about it.
00:11:23Don't forget, I grew up with those guys in Harlem.
00:11:25We'll talk about that a little bit later.
00:11:27But as the Slep Jack was dropped, it was Stevie Ray's Slep Jack that got the Disco Inferno down for the one, two, three, and got him the win.
00:11:37So there you see it, Harlem Heat 2K, the brand new Harlem Heat.
00:11:40It is Stevie Ray and Big T, along with Mr. J. Biggs.
00:11:46Mr. J. Biggs is still hurt very badly for what happened to him last week.
00:11:51Yeah, their manager, their legal advisor is all taped up, all banished up, grace is all over him.
00:11:58Like I said, Tony, I grew up with Booker, Stevie Ray, and Big T in Harlem.
00:12:02They lived on 105th Street, I lived on 108th Street.
00:12:05One time we beat up the Temptations right outside the Apollo Theater.
00:12:08We were OG all the way, baby.
00:12:10Here comes the Marmaloops right behind the Wackos, and the Marmaloops are jumping all over David Clarence and Fowler, and they're covered in cake.
00:12:24Covered in wedding cake and made mean business.
00:12:27One thing you know, or at least I don't know if you really grew up in Harlem or not, I'm sure you know this, but-
00:12:33108th Street.
00:12:34Yeah, right, anyway, you never mess with a Paisano and his family, especially during a wedding reception.
00:12:42And with that in mind, the Disco Inferno has come over to us.
00:12:47He is putting on the spare headset right now, and Disco, I can understand your anger.
00:12:52Yeah, understand my anger?
00:12:54That's like a $70,000 wedding they just trashed, a $200 shirt, it was a special night for us.
00:13:00That was $70,000 of a reception?
00:13:03That was like a $140,000 reception there.
00:13:06$140,000 reception.
00:13:08Yeah, tagging weddings cost a lot of money.
00:13:10I know that.
00:13:11You see, these guys ruined it.
00:13:13$140,000, it looked like it was catered by Chef Boyardee, for heaven's sake, maybe $1.40.
00:13:18You've never been to an tagging wedding, a lot of expenses have to be taken to account.
00:13:21Meanwhile, here is a three-way dance for the World Tag Team title.
00:13:27And it's three teams, Harlem, he gets a chance to become the World Tag Team Champions right now.
00:13:32One, two, three.
00:13:33And the fact is, the Mamalooks.
00:13:36It's Paizans.
00:13:37The Paizans go into Super Bowl this Sunday against David Flair and Crowbar, but
00:13:43they couldn't go in without the tag team belt.
00:13:47What, what, are they paying you to say all this?
00:13:51I'm the manager of champions, as long as I'm the manager, these guys are gonna stay champions.
00:13:57Well, I just took my boys from Harlem to win this here, my brothers in the street.
00:14:01What?
00:14:02I grew up in Harlem with these guys.
00:14:04You grew up in Harlem?
00:14:05Absolutely.
00:14:06You grew up in Paducah, Kentucky.
00:14:07I got my feet in the suburbs and my hearts in the ghetto, I'll tell you that right now, brothers.
00:14:11Where did you find this guy, Shivani?
00:14:15I didn't find him anywhere.
00:14:16You are not from Harlem, New York.
00:14:18Ask T and Stevie.
00:14:19I have no line for you, too.
00:14:21Vito goes down.
00:14:22Vito's trying to match power to power, Big T, and that's a bad move.
00:14:25Yeah, he can't do that.
00:14:26Big T's one of the strongest men in the business.
00:14:28There we go.
00:14:31Now, Vito got a good move, got the foot up.
00:14:33That time he goes right to the throat, Big Vito.
00:14:36You can tell they are wrestling with a lot of intensity here.
00:14:40Well, they got that buck 98 wedding broken up, I'd be mad, too.
00:14:43$140,000, Mark Madden.
00:14:45Hey, Vito's sister Angie's been dating that guy for a long time.
00:14:48It's a very special night, a very special wedding, they've ruined it.
00:14:50Was she pregnant?
00:14:51She looked like-
00:14:52What a man, what are you trying to say?
00:14:54There's your bride.
00:14:55Yeah, there's Daphne.
00:14:56Enjoying the remnants of the wedding.
00:14:59She caught the bouquet.
00:15:00She's the next one to get married.
00:15:02Well, I hope she marries you, Shivani, because nobody should deserve any better than that.
00:15:06Thank you very much.
00:15:09Look at this, this match is, I don't like these three-way dances.
00:15:11My brothers in Harlem Heat are dominating.
00:15:15As Jay Biggs, he is a- Yeah, what a waste, this guy.
00:15:19He is an authentic fighter.
00:15:21Yeah, he really is, he's really, thanks to Booker.
00:15:25Now, remember, Booker's got a chance to regain the man legally, Harlem Heat, for
00:15:29his own self on Sunday night.
00:15:31Why would you want that?
00:15:34Snap Jack, you got a chance.
00:15:35You got to ask Booker, he's the guy that made that team famous.
00:15:39That's ridiculous.
00:15:40Double underhook and a snap jack.
00:15:42We're gonna have New World Team Champions.
00:15:44Save, save.
00:15:46They made the save, you're right.
00:15:48Smart move, Vito.
00:15:49In a three-way dance, the world champions can lose their backs without even being in the ring.
00:15:54But in a three-way dance, there's twice the opportunity and
00:15:57twice the teams to make a save, which is what happened there.
00:16:01In that time- There we go.
00:16:02A roll up, one, two, three.
00:16:03Flair hit him with the crowbar and he pinned him.
00:16:06We win, we win.
00:16:08I am still the manager of champions.
00:16:10What is this?
00:16:13Come on, Stevie.
00:16:14Come on, T, get him.
00:16:15Well, the Mamalooks or the Paisons, whatever, are still the World Tag Team Champions.
00:16:20David Flair helped that cause, but Harlem Heat's gonna make their presence known here, Mark.
00:16:25David Flair set up the pin by using the crowbar, but now Stevie Ray's gonna win this go
00:16:30with that Slapjack, little assist there by Big P.
00:16:32Harlem Heat didn't win the belts, but they're winning the war right now for sure.
00:16:36Big P setting up for some more mayhem here.
00:16:43He's gonna execute the Slapjack himself.
00:16:45Boy, a Slapjack, it was.
00:16:48Looked like a short powerbomb that time that got Big P down.
00:16:51Well, this really can ruin a wedding, can't it?
00:16:54Well, the wedding was ruined a long time ago.
00:16:56This can ruin a Sunday, and the World Tag Team Championship will be on the line.
00:17:02The Mamalooks against David Flair and Crowbar.
00:17:05Well, like I said, Harlem Heat didn't win the belts, but
00:17:09they've left everybody laying.
00:17:10Crowbar and David Flair outside the ring, the Mamalooks in the ring.
00:17:14You have to admit, the Harlem Heat, the new Harlem Heat looks very impressive.
00:17:20And now look at this, David Flair with his crowbar.
00:17:24Crowbar with his lead pipe assaulting these men who have already been taken apart.
00:17:29And they already had to look at those ugly Italian women at the wedding, too.
00:17:33Haven't they suffered enough?
00:17:34They picked up Johnny the ball to beat him down again.
00:17:39They're gonna severely injure the World Tag Team Champions here.
00:17:43Now, security has come in.
00:17:46How can they control these nuts?
00:17:48Well, there's no talking to them, that's for sure.
00:17:51You can stick with Freud to calm these guys down.
00:17:54The Mamalooks are beaten within an inch of their lives.
00:18:00Yes, they are.
00:18:01They win the match, they lose the wedding reception.
00:18:05They lose the war, beaten by two teams, and they're still down.
00:18:09Daphne with the, she got her flowers on Valentine's Day.
00:18:12Now, didn't she?
00:18:13She looks lovely.
00:18:14Always does.
00:18:15She is one shrieking, screaming banshee is what she is.
00:18:20And I guess I could use that term.
00:18:23And now here comes the stretcher out for Big Vito and Johnny the Ball in the Disco.
00:18:27Look at this, they have been completely laid out here.
00:18:30Well, I don't know.
00:18:31That could be indigestion for what could be really cheap, bad Italian cuisine backstage.
00:18:35I don't think so far.
00:18:36They didn't hit with those pipes, I will say that.
00:18:38Come on.
00:18:39Come on.
00:18:40Flair and Crowbar are really nuts.
00:18:41They just beat him.
00:18:42How would it style?
00:18:44How would it style?
00:18:45How would it style?
00:18:46And look at Grandma and the family.
00:18:49Well, they maybe just realized the bride's pregnant.
00:18:51No, they did not.
00:18:52No, they did not.
00:18:54Too much crying, too much.
00:18:56And Kane Canyon.
00:18:57And his accomplices joining us here this evening, the mecca of wrestling.
00:19:01We're in New York City.
00:19:03Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:19:04The mecca is Hollywood.
00:19:06And I am Hollywood.
00:19:08You see, my movies don't go direct to video.
00:19:11Mine go to the big screen.
00:19:12April 14th, ready to rumble.
00:19:14You don't gotta go to some flea market discount bin to buy my movie.
00:19:17And being Hollywood, I know acting.
00:19:20And Dustin Rhodes, you're a horrible actor.
00:19:22David Alquette, great.
00:19:24Oliver Platt, phenomenal.
00:19:25Dustin Harbaugh, his act last week, my father abandoned me.
00:19:29Ric Flair, you're bad.
00:19:31Zero.
00:19:32Zero.
00:19:33What's gonna happen is I'm gonna give Dustin Rhodes an acting lesson,
00:19:37a wrestling lesson, and I'm gonna do to him what his father should have done a long time ago,
00:19:41and give him an old fashioned beating.
00:19:45So, Chris Champagne Canyon and Dustin Rhodes still to come.
00:19:48But coming up next is the Hardcore Champion on Nitro.
00:19:52.
00:19:57Right here?
00:19:58My neck, not back here, my neck.
00:20:00You all right?
00:20:03All right.
00:20:04Get off this thing.
00:20:06Get off this thing.
00:20:07Get off.
00:20:08Get off that thing.
00:20:09Get off.
00:20:10We ain't going nowhere.
00:20:11No damn ambulance.
00:20:13You got me, G.
00:20:14You got me, G.
00:20:16You people got me, G.
00:20:17Get away from us.
00:20:18We're gonna take care of this.
00:20:19Italian style, you understand?
00:20:21I'm tired.
00:20:22I'm tired.
00:20:23I'm tired.
00:20:24I'm tired.
00:20:25All right.
00:20:26Big feet off coming right off the stretcher wanting to talk to mean Gene Okerlund.
00:20:29He's got something he wants to say.
00:20:31I give those guys credits, the Pisans, the Marmalukes, Disco, whatever you want to call them.
00:20:36They got a lot of guts because they got beat half to death.
00:20:38And now they're struggling off the stretchers to make a statement.
00:20:41Wow.
00:20:42Some pretty heavy words coming from those guys, I'm sure.
00:20:45Here's the reminder this coming Friday is a big day for WCW.
00:20:49We got some big on sale dates we want to talk about.
00:20:52And we're gonna talk about that as soon as we show you this.
00:20:56Last Wednesday when the Demon came out of the coffin, Bam Bam Bigelow on Thunder,
00:21:04took the advantage and went right to work on the Demon.
00:21:07But then as Bam Bam Bigelow did that, here comes the former hardcore champion Brian Knox.
00:21:12Bam Bam Bigelow, an incredible hardcore champion.
00:21:15We see him cracking knobs over the head there.
00:21:17Bam Bam another hardcore title defense coming up tonight.
00:21:20And what a battle that was.
00:21:23And now the hardcore champion unloads his wares in the ring.
00:21:27A reminder that tickets want sale this Friday for the March 14th Thunder taping.
00:21:32That's on Tuesday, March 14th, the George Mason Patriot Center in Fairfax, Virginia.
00:21:37Jeff Jared's gonna be in Landmark Mall from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. this coming Friday when tickets go on sale.
00:21:43Tickets also go on sale for the Monday Nitro event on March 20th at the O'Connell Center at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
00:21:50Norman, screaming Norman Smiley will be the University of Florida O'Connell Center box office this coming Friday 10 a.m. to noon when tickets go on sale.
00:22:00As the wall comes down for this hardcore battle.
00:22:03One other announcement Tuesday, March 21st.
00:22:05We're gonna be taping Thunder in Orlando at the TD Waterhouse Center.
00:22:12Plus you could meet Tory Wilson and Billy Kevin at the box office 10 a.m. to noon this Friday when tickets go on sale for the Tuesday March 28th Thunder taping in Orlando.
00:22:22Bam Bam against the wall with the wall involved.
00:22:25Boy, hardcore suddenly got a little more hardcore, didn't it?
00:22:29With the wall, who is hardcore in his own right, with or without the items.
00:22:33Well, who used the items, apparently?
00:22:36Of course, if you got them, you use them, right?
00:22:39He brought a ladder in, I wonder what that's all about.
00:22:42There's no belt on top of the ring or anything like that.
00:22:44Going towards Bigelow, who moved quickly out of the way, saved his own life that time.
00:22:49Hey, quickly, Mark Madden don't wanna take away from this match, but how about the anger that Jeff Jarrett's feeling right now?
00:22:55He wanted the match against Sid Vicious tonight to be a title match.
00:22:58He got it, but it's for his US title.
00:23:00Do you blame him for being mad?
00:23:02He has nothing to gain, everything to lose, but we could see history.
00:23:05Only one man before has ever been world and US champion, and that's a guy named Bill Goldberg.
00:23:10Sid could match that feat tonight.
00:23:12That would be something else.
00:23:13Sid very happy about that.
00:23:15He and Jared later on for the US title.
00:23:17Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair tonight, six days out from Super Brawl 2000.
00:23:21And look at Bam Bam Bigelow.
00:23:24Try that diving headbutt of his, to no avail, the wall had moved.
00:23:28Bigelow goes in with these hardcore items, six days out from Super Brawl 2000.
00:23:34Bryan Knobbs winning the wins.
00:23:36Why would anyone in his right mind want a hardcore title match six days away from another one?
00:23:41That's what makes him hardcore.
00:23:43I guess it does.
00:23:44That's what makes Bam Bam Bigelow.
00:23:45In my opinion, the best hardcore champion WCW has seen so far.
00:23:49But Bryan Knobbs is a big challenge, the wall is a big challenge.
00:23:52Screaming Norman Smiley somehow consistently has remained a big challenge.
00:23:56And now the wall has one of those tables.
00:23:58There must be a dozen or more tables under that ring.
00:24:01As he was putting the table in, Bigelow used it like a catapult and
00:24:05it racked the jaw that time of the wall.
00:24:07And the wall down on the floor and he gets blocked by the steel chair.
00:24:11Bam Bam made the wall play a pretty dangerous game,
00:24:15a teeter totter with that table on the middle rope.
00:24:18Then he whacked him hard with a chair shot.
00:24:20Of course, one of the prerequisites of being a hardcore champion is not only how to take a blow,
00:24:26but how to use all the devices to your advantage.
00:24:30And Bam Bam Bigelow showing us he can do just that.
00:24:33How to dodge all the devices too.
00:24:34A lot of times, the walls got in there with a trash can or a kendo stick or whatever, and Bam Bam's docked it.
00:24:40One's got the trash can, the other one had the wedge.
00:24:45That was kind of symbolic.
00:24:46Yes, Symbol City.
00:24:47That time along the side of the head, we might have a new hardcore champion here.
00:24:52That really put Bam Bam down.
00:24:54And the wall takes a kendo stick and whacks him across the back.
00:24:58Bam Bam draped across that table, will the wall go up top?
00:25:01He shouldn't, that's not his area of expertise.
00:25:04But in a hardcore match, you gotta take a chance, and he's going to.
00:25:07You gotta improvise, you're right, the wall, who has been so impressive in regular matches,
00:25:13is rising to the occasion here in this hunt.
00:25:17Boy, he blew it that time, Mark McCauley turned his back on Bigelow,
00:25:21and Bigelow drives him through the table.
00:25:25What a move by Bigelow, and now he's signaling for the greetings from Asbury Park.
00:25:29Bigelow is actually overpowering the wall.
00:25:32I've never seen that before.
00:25:33I don't think I have either.
00:25:35He's gonna pick up the wall with the greeting from Asbury Park and drive him down.
00:25:39He'll cover the wall.
00:25:41And Nick Patrick makes the one, two, three, through the track cans and tables.
00:25:46And Bigelow is still the WCW Hardcore champ.
00:25:50Bigelow goes on this Sunday to face the man who's now in the ring.
00:25:53And Brian Knobs using, you see the right hand, with the cast on broken,
00:25:58thanks to the total package.
00:26:00And look at him walking between the shoulder blades.
00:26:03He's using that cast to prime advantage, just beating Bigelow down.
00:26:06Big advantage for Knobs here, Bigelow just defended his hardcore title.
00:26:09He's worn out.
00:26:11And Knobs seizing an opportunity right here to take the advantage.
00:26:16Would you say that Knobs maybe, even though he's the challenger,
00:26:20could be now the odds on favorite on Sunday?
00:26:23After that trash can shot he may be.
00:26:25Wow.
00:26:26And another one.
00:26:27I don't know if that's the echo from the trash can or from Bigelow's head after those blows.
00:26:32Whatever it is, it rang out here at the Nassau Palisseum.
00:26:37I like Knobs, he's husky.
00:26:39Super Brawl, he's screaming out about Super Brawl 2000.
00:26:42Super Brawl!
00:26:43Six days away, Knobs against Bigelow for the hardcore title.
00:26:47Husky Brian Knobs against Husky Bam Bam Bigelow.
00:26:50That's the nice way.
00:26:51Here's the wall on Bigelow now.
00:26:52So that gave the wall the chance to get back up, and he dropped.
00:26:55Bam Bam Bigelow down.
00:27:00Knobs is officially the favorite now.
00:27:02No question about it.
00:27:03All right.
00:27:04Mean Gene has been summoned by the Mamalooks, and he's there right now, Gene.
00:27:08All right, there's Total Bedlam and Pandemonium back here.
00:27:11A couple of you guys are still gonna have to go to the hospital yet tonight.
00:27:14Disco Inferno.
00:27:16I would imagine there's gonna be something to pay after what we saw out there in the ring.
00:27:20Yeah, Flair and Crowbar have got a lot to pay.
00:27:22Nobody punks us like that.
00:27:23Nobody treats Fido's sister's wedding like that.
00:27:25You guys got hell to pay now, because nobody treats us like that in New York.
00:27:29That's right.
00:27:30New York is our hometown.
00:27:32And I got something to say to you five of the nukes out there.
00:27:35Sicilian stretcher match.
00:27:37You guys are gonna pay for your crimes against the Italians in our neighborhood.
00:27:42And I'm gonna tell you, I'm sorry, Mom.
00:27:44I can't help it.
00:27:45I'm sorry.
00:27:46We have no choice.
00:27:47Italian stretcher match.
00:27:49That's where it's at.
00:27:50Italian stretcher match.
00:27:51You guys are dead.
00:27:53I'm coming after you.
00:27:54That's it.
00:27:55We're gonna have to go to the hospital.
00:27:57The New York Daily News.
00:27:59On Saturday, front page that Flair and Hogan would battle here at the Nassau Coliseum.
00:28:05We understand many more photo journalists than ever before to see not only Paul Covey and
00:28:11Ric Flair here tonight, but see the world champion Sid Vicious in action against Jeff Jarrett.
00:28:17How can you beat that?
00:28:18Flair versus Hogan, the biggest matchup in history.
00:28:21We get to see it, I don't know about one last time, but certainly one more time.
00:28:25Sid Vicious against Jeff Jarrett.
00:28:27They fight for the world title Sunday Super Bowl and they fight tonight here at Nassau Coliseum.
00:28:33All right, last Wednesday on Thunder when confronted about his negligence towards his son by Dustin Rhoades.
00:28:41Ric Flair and Dustin Rhoades, a year top two match.
00:28:44Dustin put him in the figure four.
00:28:46Ric took his Rolex around his fist, around his knuckles.
00:28:50Dustin raises up, Flair catches it and hits him in the head and Ric Flair goes on to defeat Dustin Rhodes,
00:28:57thanks to the use of the Rolex in an impromptu match on Wednesday.
00:29:01Just to show you how dirty, the dirtiest player in the game is.
00:29:05That result didn't surprise me.
00:29:07Ric Flair beat Dustin's daddy up for years and years and years.
00:29:11Why not beat up the kid too?
00:29:14Like father, like son, just another victim for Ric Flair.
00:29:17Whatever the question is here, why would Ric Flair completely, of course,
00:29:21that was the result of what happened last Monday when Terry Fung beat up David Flair
00:29:26adversely in a nice win match.
00:29:27Why would Ric Flair not come to the aid of his son a week ago?
00:29:31That's the question here.
00:29:33Well, Ric Flair's never gonna be father of the year, but he's a great wrestler.
00:29:37Ric Flair's for himself first, second, and third, and to heck with everybody else,
00:29:41including his son, that's what I like about him.
00:29:45Ric Flair brings out two of the Nitro girls with him.
00:29:50I have to say, those are very provocative.
00:29:53Valentine's Day outfits by the Nitro girls.
00:29:58Well, if I said what I really thought about those outfits,
00:30:01I'd get bleeped for the first time in my three weeks here on Nitro.
00:30:04But I wanna talk about this matchup.
00:30:06Again, it's a battle of movie stars.
00:30:08Cannon ready to rumble, which is ready to come out, I can't wait to see that.
00:30:12The trailer's great, and Dustin Rhodes used to dress like he was in bondage movies.
00:30:18Come on, he did, you remember.
00:30:20I remember.
00:30:21Cut my music.
00:30:22He even talked about it when he first came back to WCW.
00:30:25A lot of people claim that they are Hollywood, but they're not.
00:30:30I am Hollywood.
00:30:35One, two, and got a two count.
00:30:39Forget about being Hollywood, as Dustin Rhodes almost gets a quick win here
00:30:43over Chris Champagne Canyon.
00:30:45Canyon tosses him outside.
00:30:48He's gonna take a break here?
00:30:49Is he gonna go outside after?
00:30:50There he goes.
00:30:51Gonna go outside after, gonna keep the pressure on, the intensity on,
00:30:55he's got a steel chair.
00:30:56And the referee takes it away from him.
00:30:58Billy Silverman got that chair away from him, and now Canyon's gonna go after
00:31:02Silverman.
00:31:03Chasing him around the ring.
00:31:05Silverman literally running for it.
00:31:08And Dustin Rhodes caught him for the ring.
00:31:11Canyon at full speed on that one went down hard.
00:31:15Right place, right time for Dustin, bad news for Canyon.
00:31:18Now it's Dustin Rhodes is turning the ring to have the advantage.
00:31:23Tonight on this program, the return of Hulk Hogan,
00:31:27against one of his arch rivals throughout the years in Ric Flair.
00:31:31That is coming up here.
00:31:33Live six days out from Superbrawl 2000 this Sunday.
00:31:38And Dustin Rhodes- Uh-oh.
00:31:40Setting Canyon up.
00:31:42What's he setting him up for?
00:31:46Well, actually, we both know, but I'm afraid to say it.
00:31:48I'm afraid to think it.
00:31:49And I certainly would never, ever want to feel it.
00:31:51I don't know if Canyon does it.
00:31:54Dustin Cody out of the fans.
00:31:56That'll get you funky like a monkey, won't it?
00:32:05Amazingly, Canyon came back up.
00:32:09I guess he has no.
00:32:11What are you trying to say?
00:32:13Well, maybe he has a lot of them.
00:32:14Never mind.
00:32:15Okay, maybe he has more than enough.
00:32:17Canyon goes down hard with Dustin covering the one, ten, three to me.
00:32:22Ladies and gentlemen, we'll put out here, Dustin Rhodes.
00:32:28A lot of reserve that time, but in the end, Dustin drove me down and got the win.
00:32:34I've never been a fan of the Rhodes family, but that's a big win.
00:32:39As we said later on tonight, Ric Flair and Hollywood Hulk Hogan will go at it.
00:32:45One of the most anticipated matches ever in the tri-state area.
00:32:49Here he is.
00:32:51Hulk Hogan, later tonight, live from New York, you're gonna be facing the Nature Boy,
00:32:55Ric Flair, but what about this man, Lex Luger, your opponent at Super Bowl?
00:33:00You've seen what he's done out of Terry Funk.
00:33:02Last week, he broke the arm of Jimmy Hart.
00:33:05Hulk, you're gonna have your hands full both tonight and next Sunday.
00:33:08Well, you know something mean, Gene?
00:33:09I can't think of a better place to bury a couple of bodies than New York City.
00:33:14Ric Flair, I've got you tonight on Nitro, and I'm gonna bury you somewhere on the outside.
00:33:18Somewhere on the outskirts of the Hudson River.
00:33:20And if something happened that Lex Luger wanted to get a little froggy and
00:33:23jump on me before Super Bowl, I'll deposit his body also.
00:33:28After what I saw with Terry Funk tonight, those two are exactly the same.
00:33:34And as God is my witness, Jimmy Hart, you grab a seat in my dressing room,
00:33:38get relaxed, brother, and watch what happens to Ric Flair when he drops to his knees and
00:33:43says, yes, Hulk Hogan, you are the man.
00:33:45Because what you're gonna do, Flair, when Hulk Hogan destroys you?
00:33:50A very ready Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair still to come tonight.
00:33:55The fans, when we come back on WCW Monday Nitro, it's Booker Against the Demon.
00:34:00Stay with us.
00:34:01Booker T, I know that you just returned to the good old US of A from Europe
00:34:06earlier today, and of course Nitro being seen all around the world tonight.
00:34:11You've got a lot of things happening, Super Brawl right around the corner.
00:34:14But I've gotta ask you, at the risk of sounding negative, what about that
00:34:18Leave it to Beaver music for your entrance?
00:34:20Isn't that a bit much?
00:34:21You know Gene, I'm gonna tell you exactly what's going on.
00:34:23My brother has gone through litigation to take my name, my music, and my flame.
00:34:29And as far as that stupid ass music go, they can keep playing it over and over and
00:34:34over because it's just a constant reminder of what's gonna happen to Big T at Super Brawl.
00:34:39I'm gonna take you out of the game, man.
00:34:41A very determined Booker to face Big T for the rights to Harlem H at Super Brawl.
00:34:50And now The Demon makes his appearance here on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:34:55And ironically, the same day that earlier today, Gene Simmons and Kiss announced
00:35:01that after 27 years, after 75 million albums sold, that they will kick off their
00:35:07farewell tour, their very last tour ever as Kiss on March 11th in Phoenix, Arizona.
00:35:13And here comes The Demon in the image of Gene Simmons out in this next matchup.
00:35:18Tony, I know you'll be in as many concerts of that farewell tour as you could possibly be.
00:35:24So to lie, here comes The Demon looking just like Gene Simmons.
00:35:29He got the tongue, he got the boots, he has the blood dripping from his mouth once in a while.
00:35:34You may not know this, Tony, in honor of The Demon, in honor of Kiss,
00:35:37The Plaster Casters are in attendance tonight.
00:35:40This is also coming out with Kiss Alive for their last live album on the 28th of March.
00:35:49And of course, they are legends in rock and roll.
00:35:53And aside from that, I think we both agree that Demon has been a very good performer in WCW.
00:36:00Good kid can really wrestle.
00:36:02He's very talented, he derives a lot of power from wearing the Gene Simmons war paint.
00:36:07But no matter what gimmick or costume or persona that The Demon would assume,
00:36:11he would be a tremendous competitor, a tremendous performer, a tremendous worker, if you will.
00:36:16He's drooling blood, I knew you would, that's great, that is so cool.
00:36:23The only thing he has to do now is breathe fire and he'll be just like the man himself, Gene Simmons.
00:36:29And we go from, we go from God of Thunder to this lame song.
00:36:34Equally appropriate for Booker if he has to be.
00:36:36You really think so?
00:36:37In fact, to quote Gene Simmons one more time, it fits like a glove.
00:36:44You're the man, Buckman.
00:36:45Well, you know, Booker, he lost the lawsuit.
00:36:47Sometimes you just lose the lawsuit, you know?
00:36:49He's Booker, he looks stupid, he's wearing stupid tights.
00:36:52He was always the outcast in Harlem where I grew up with Stevie Ray, Booker T, and Big T.
00:36:59But do you think that this music is gonna backfire on Mr. Biggs and Harlem Heat?
00:37:04I mean, Booker even said, keep playing the music, it fires me up, it gets me motivated.
00:37:10And as long as this happens, Booker is gonna come to the ring with Reckless Abandon,
00:37:15and The Demon has taken the first shots in.
00:37:18Well, there's no doubt Booker is very motivated to get his colors back, to get the letter T back.
00:37:24But it's not gonna happen.
00:37:25The New Harlem Heat is far too powerful.
00:37:27The Demon on the Attack.
00:37:28What about the Diamond Dallas Page book, Positively Page?
00:37:31I've had a chance to get an advanced copy.
00:37:33I read most of it this weekend.
00:37:35What a read this was, fans.
00:37:37It's hard to put down, it's a real page turner.
00:37:40Of all the wrestling books out there, it may be the best, it really may be.
00:37:43It's the most inside look, by far, of all the books written by wrestlers.
00:37:48So that's available only through WCW before hits the bookstores on March 1st.
00:37:54So make sure you give us a call at the number we said earlier.
00:37:56Spinner Rudy, Spinner Rudy.
00:37:58The axe kick that time, and then the Spinner Rudy brought Booker T.
00:38:03I'm sorry, I shouldn't say that, I might get sued.
00:38:05Booker, Booker.
00:38:06Booker, yes, back up.
00:38:07Booker picks up his big guy, The Demon, and slams him down.
00:38:14Harlem style with a sidewalk slam of him.
00:38:19I gotta admit, you're right about one thing, Booker is motivated.
00:38:23Booker destroyed The Demon.
00:38:24That's really the first time we've seen The Demon really take it apart.
00:38:27Look at the face.
00:38:29You think the man's not determined?
00:38:31The man's not ready to battle for the name of Harlem meet this Sunday?
00:38:34You got a problem with that pal?
00:38:35Now here's the man ready to battle.
00:38:37Well fans, lock it in.
00:38:39It's the only thing I can tell you.
00:38:41When we come back, we are gonna have the match that all of New York's been waiting for.
00:38:46All of WCW's been waiting for.
00:38:48It is Hulk Hogan's return against Ric Flair next.
00:38:52And let's go to Michael Buffer.
00:39:04Ladies and gentlemen, tonight will be one of the greatest nights in WCW Monday Nitro history.
00:39:15And we are about to see why, as two of the greatest names in the history of professional wrestling
00:39:22will face each other in this ring.
00:39:25Are we ready?
00:39:27WCW fans, are we ready?
00:39:37For the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching around the world.
00:39:46We are, Reader Rumble!
00:39:57Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan, one more time.
00:40:00You know, you go back to big events in the history of World Championship Wrestling,
00:40:04and you can mark Bash at the Beach as one of the biggest events each and every year.
00:40:11I take you back to Bash at the Beach, 1994.
00:40:16Hulk Hogan comes into WCW, Ric Flair is the heavyweight champion of the world,
00:40:21and Hulk Hogan wins the event.
00:40:24Two years later, Hogan, Paul and Nash formed the NWO at Bash at the Beach.
00:40:30So that summertime event has always kind of been a benchmark for big things to happen at WCW.
00:40:36But for Ric Flair, I know he has never forgotten Bash at the Beach, 1994, and what happened that night.
00:40:43Here's the bottom line of this match.
00:40:46Wearing red soda and wearing in for 236 pounds.
00:40:52A legend of this great sport known to fans around the world.
00:40:56His signature figure bar and underlining will to win has brought him more championship belts than many other wrestlers.
00:41:05Ladies and gentlemen, from Charlotte, North Carolina, here is the 14-time heavyweight champion of the world,
00:41:18Ric Flair.
00:41:23Okay, go ahead with your point.
00:41:24Next time Buffer interrupts me, I'm knocking him on his overpaid ass, all right?
00:41:28Go ahead.
00:41:29Bottom line, Flair and Hogan ranked number one and number two by WCW Magazine.
00:41:34Hogan one, Flair two, that's all done.
00:41:37That's forever.
00:41:38I'm not disputing that they're one and two.
00:41:40I am disputing the order.
00:41:42Flair's better now, he's always been better, and he'll prove it tonight by performance,
00:41:47if not necessarily by result.
00:41:50So you're in the seat, as Marc Bench told him, from the WCW rankings of the greatest wrestlers ever.
00:41:59The two greatest going at it in the ring, live on Monday Nitro.
00:42:05Both men who will be part of Supergirl will take their legendary battle here on Monday Nitro to you live.
00:42:14And as we said, and as we mentioned, you'll see it during the course of this match as we go back to Michael Buffer.
00:42:23He stands six feet, slightly to five, and weighs 275 and one quarter of a pound.
00:42:33He is, without a doubt, the most famous name and face in the annals of professional wrestling.
00:42:40The super boots and legs up has eliminated opponents the world over.
00:42:46Ladies and gentlemen, there are stars, there are superstars, and then there are legends.
00:42:54Here is a legend, the king of Hulk Romania, Hulk Hogan.
00:43:06Boy, they're standing.
00:43:07This match has the big time feel to it, Mark, man.
00:43:10You can't deny that.
00:43:11New York City is Hulk Hogan's home coach.
00:43:14He's popular everywhere.
00:43:16He may be more popular here than anywhere else.
00:43:18And this Long Island crowd is letting them know how they feel.
00:43:21We have cameramen, photojournalists from all over.
00:43:26We have like, looks like 15 or 16 extra of those around the ring just for this matchup.
00:43:33They're chanting Hogan?
00:43:38They're chanting Hogan fame, you know they are.
00:43:40It almost sounds like Flair, but I'll trust your judgment here.
00:43:45Flair, Flair, Flair.
00:43:48Hogan has two syllables, Flair has one.
00:43:53You got me there.
00:43:55Damn, caught in a lie on national TV.
00:43:57Won't be the last time, I can tell you that.
00:43:59Wasn't the first.
00:44:00Hogan, Flair, this is like a dream come true for me, Tony.
00:44:03I'm really serious about that.
00:44:05To call this match, boy would have thrilled.
00:44:07It was in USA Today, earlier today, promoting the match.
00:44:10We talked about the Ivers the Morning Program on the front cover of the New York Daily News.
00:44:15Press them all around the world, around the ring.
00:44:17And down goes Ric Flair from Hulk Hogan.
00:44:20You know, Flair has done this before in his career.
00:44:24He has played into Hogan's drink early on.
00:44:27I don't know that the feeling out process, or if Flair may be getting Hogan overcome or what,
00:44:32but he's doing that and listening to fans.
00:44:35What an atmosphere for this one.
00:44:37I wish these people would shut up so Flair can calm down and wrestle.
00:44:41Shut up, people.
00:44:43See, they listen good.
00:44:46You're right, Flair has to play to his own strengths, not to Hogan's.
00:44:50But Flair's very proud.
00:44:51Flair knows he was number two, the Hogan's number one at WCW Magazine.
00:44:55He talked about it on this program.
00:44:58He talked about it on Finder as well.
00:45:01Not a test of strength, Ric, bad move.
00:45:04The team, Flair lured him into corner.
00:45:06That's where he wanted him.
00:45:07And Hogan took every day of that team.
00:45:11So chop him again, come on.
00:45:13Back into the other corner.
00:45:17Calls Hogan.
00:45:22Send me Flair to a turn back up.
00:45:24In the back, but he's in.
00:45:25Down goes Flair.
00:45:30Out goes Flair.
00:45:31This is very upsetting to me personally, Tony.
00:45:36I don't know what to say.
00:45:37I really thought Flair would come in here to overwhelm him, but you gotta give Hogan credit.
00:45:41Right now he's wrestling his match, taking the fight to Flair.
00:45:44But now he's going outside.
00:45:45That'll be Hogan's first mistake.
00:45:47Let's see if you're right, Mark Beck.
00:45:49Ha-ha, thumb to the eye.
00:45:51Great side to the move.
00:45:53And the chin of Hogan out again.
00:45:56Yellow and red.
00:45:57Welcome to this, our Coliseum.
00:45:59And Hogan now taking turns on the outside.
00:46:05Rose Flair to interrupts.
00:46:10Hogan chases Flair back himself.
00:46:14Yeah, no, yeah, geez.
00:46:18It's not gonna work against him.
00:46:20He's too fired up.
00:46:21He's too pumped up.
00:46:22Well, Hogan sprained his ankle, I think.
00:46:28No, I think he got the low blow.
00:46:30Come on, you know as well as I do.
00:46:32Now he's sprained his knee, I like it.
00:46:33Now here comes Flair's kind of wrestling match.
00:46:37Come on, Rick, take that pin out.
00:46:39Well, that time Hulk Hogan with the excitement, the adrenaline,
00:46:42get the best of him right there.
00:46:44He got too close to Flair.
00:46:45Up between the legs of the low blow.
00:46:47And now Ric Flair is holding it on the knees.
00:46:50Yeah.
00:46:51Yeah, chop him down.
00:46:54As you can see the knee heavily taped underneath the knee pad.
00:46:59You know about the knee surgeries he's had over the last year or so.
00:47:03Here we go, the attack to the figure four softening him up.
00:47:07So if there is a weakness in Hulk Hogan,
00:47:11it is a weakness that plays right into the strength of the Nature Boy Ric Flair, Mark.
00:47:16Woo!
00:47:17Now Flair's on top of him, Flair's working that leg.
00:47:19It's a little too early for the figure four, but Flair might be going for it right now.
00:47:22Yeah, here he goes.
00:47:23Yeah!
00:47:27I think Hogan quit already.
00:47:29Tony, did you hear him quit?
00:47:31He did not.
00:47:32I could have sworn I heard it.
00:47:33Must have been from the crowd.
00:47:35Come on, lock it in, Ric, lock it in!
00:47:38He's gotta lock it in, and Hogan, is he on the verge of giving up or not?
00:47:48Boy.
00:47:49Come on, Ric, roll the other way, roll the other way!
00:47:51Hogan's trying to turn the figure four.
00:47:53And he got it!
00:47:56Now the pressure's on Flair.
00:47:58Now will Flair get up.
00:48:00Hogan's grinding in.
00:48:02And Flair broke the hold.
00:48:06Well, Hogan's knee's still pretty damaged, it looks like.
00:48:08Yeah, it is.
00:48:09And Flair seems to be okay.
00:48:11Not as noticeable a limp on Ric Flair as it is on Hogan.
00:48:15He'll snap him down.
00:48:16Flair's design is to keep Hogan off his feet.
00:48:19Good move.
00:48:20Flair up on top.
00:48:21Hogan's up on his feet, believe it or not.
00:48:24Now Hogan's knee buckled a little bit, but boy, there's a big clothesline.
00:48:31But now goes Hogan.
00:48:32It really buckled that time, Marc Madden.
00:48:34Good, good.
00:48:36I've been waiting for Hulkamade to end for 20 years.
00:48:39It's been a thorn in my side.
00:48:40Maybe tonight will finally be the night.
00:48:42Hogan trying to pull himself up.
00:48:45Flair's already on my leg.
00:48:47Hogan, he can stop us.
00:48:49He'll want to stop you, Hogan, Patrick.
00:48:52And now you're hearing the famous backhand child of Ric Flair.
00:48:58It didn't work.
00:48:59That's not gonna stop an interval.
00:49:01Hogan coming out of that corner, psyched up.
00:49:06Hogan looks like he made Hulk up.
00:49:08I flirped on him now.
00:49:09Chelsea Man, Chelsea Man, Hogan still on his feet.
00:49:13I don't like the way this looks.
00:49:18Come on, Mates, come on, turn it around.
00:49:20This is incredible.
00:49:22Hogan is standing at the last chance.
00:49:27One, two, three, four, five, ten, ten, eight.
00:49:34And he's biting.
00:49:36There he is.
00:49:37There's the immoral Hulk Hogan I told you about.
00:49:39Not immoral, immoral.
00:49:41Flair up second.
00:49:42There goes down here.
00:49:43I gotta give Hogan credit.
00:49:49He's really taking it through Flair.
00:49:51This isn't how I pictured it.
00:49:52Suplex back in.
00:49:55Tony, what keeps driving Hogan?
00:50:00It really is amazing.
00:50:01It is amazing.
00:50:02The drive that he had, the heart determination.
00:50:05But Mark, you know by following his career, he's always had this.
00:50:09That is one of the things that will set him apart for most of us.
00:50:12One of the attributes that made him rank number one in the WCW pool.
00:50:17What is it that time?
00:50:19Flair went for the suplex and Flair wrenched his back.
00:50:23Now he's not in the corner.
00:50:24Now Hogan has the edge.
00:50:27Now the referee asking Flair if he's okay.
00:50:30Hogan stalks him in the corner of Flair like Putty in Hogan's hand here.
00:50:35He can't even fight back.
00:50:36He really hurt his back.
00:50:38Nick Patrick tried to call him off.
00:50:40But Hogan is relentless.
00:50:43That's the same back he broke in a plane crash, Tony.
00:50:45Yeah, like he has another back, right?
00:50:47I had to get the reference in.
00:50:48Hogan manhandled with the rest.
00:50:50Good job, Nick Patrick.
00:50:55He was just to close this.
00:50:56Wait a minute, Flair's digging deep.
00:50:58He's got an illegal object in his right hand.
00:51:01How do you know it's illegal?
00:51:02Are you a policeman?
00:51:03Well, you're not allowed to use it.
00:51:05Yeah, yeah.
00:51:06He knocked him out.
00:51:07Big right by Flair.
00:51:08He knocked him out.
00:51:09He knocked him out.
00:51:10He knocked him out.
00:51:11If he could make a cover, it's over.
00:51:12Come on, Rick, get over there.
00:51:13Come on, Rick.
00:51:14This is glorious.
00:51:16Rick Flair's gonna beat Hulk Hogan.
00:51:17Jimmy Hart's come down.
00:51:18Yeah, he'll do a lot of good.
00:51:20Jimmy Hart, who recently had his hand broken by the total package,
00:51:25is telling Nick Patrick that Flair dug deep in his tights and came away.
00:51:30Yeah.
00:51:31Good job, that's what Jimmy Hart gets.
00:51:33He's a washed up singer, just like Hogan's a washed up actor.
00:51:38Jimmy Hart's down.
00:51:39Hogan's down.
00:51:40This could be the end.
00:51:43Flair with an elbow.
00:51:44That'll do it.
00:51:45One, two, Hogan kicked out.
00:51:47How did he kick out?
00:51:52There was a lot of time between point A and point B right there, Mark.
00:51:57He got hit by brass knuckles.
00:51:59Here it comes.
00:52:04It's a scene we've seen over and over again.
00:52:07Hooking up, coming back, against all odds, sending Flair into big fight.
00:52:13No.
00:52:14He's going to drop the leg on Rick Flair.
00:52:19He's got it.
00:52:24He's got it.
00:52:25No, it's a total package.
00:52:27Thank heaven somebody's here to restore order.
00:52:29Get a package.
00:52:31Now Jimmy Hart used that illegal cast.
00:52:33I don't like that at all.
00:52:34The bell sounds are gonna throw this thing out.
00:52:36Elizabeth has come in.
00:52:38She's got Jimmy Hart.
00:52:40Jimmy Hart's got Elizabeth.
00:52:42And he wants to lock Elizabeth in a total package, got Jimmy Hart.
00:52:47You gotta give the package credit for coming in to rescue an American legend like Ric Flair.
00:52:52That's tremendous.
00:52:53He is stomping on an already broken arm.
00:52:56If it's already broken, what's the big deal?
00:52:58And now Flair working over Hogan.
00:53:00What was a great match between Flair and Hogan's been thrown off the books.
00:53:05Now Terry fucks it.
00:53:07He threw a chair and put the package beat him through it.
00:53:09And he was piled and fucked with that chair.
00:53:11Filler finds move by the hardcore legend himself.
00:53:14He wanted to get in Flair.
00:53:19He wanted to help Hogan.
00:53:20And Hogan's gonna fight off both men by himself.
00:53:23And he's doing just that.
00:53:25What is keeping Hogan up?
00:53:26It's amazing.
00:53:27The man really is phenomenal.
00:53:28Now they got him.
00:53:29Now they got him.
00:53:30Yeah.
00:53:31Flair to the eyes.
00:53:32Hogan ducks.
00:53:36Hogan again.
00:53:41Uh-oh, Naga Knocker.
00:53:44Watch out.
00:53:45Elizabeth wheeling that ball back.
00:53:51And Hogan, Hogan ran them all off.
00:53:54I gotta give him credit.
00:53:57Now fucks it's time to play outside the ring.
00:54:01What is Super Bowl it's gonna be for?
00:54:04You have to believe it.
00:54:05You're exactly right.
00:54:06They've got a death match.
00:54:07Hogan's got the total package.
00:54:09And we've still got world champions, Sid Vicious.
00:54:15Vicious and Jarrick coming up soon.
00:54:18It's gonna be unbelievable.
00:54:19Hogan posing down in the ring.
00:54:21We've seen this before.
00:54:22You see the photojournalist come all over around the ring taking the picture of Hulk Hogan.
00:54:29Hulk Hogan.
00:54:30Tony, I give Hogan credit.
00:54:31A superhuman effort by him today.
00:54:33But the color of his skin, that can't be healthy, can't it?
00:54:38He looks like a hot dog up in the microwave.
00:54:40I bought luggage looks like that.
00:54:43Or else we get shot by Ric Flair.
00:54:45Your skin is gonna be absolutely beat Flair.
00:54:47Good point, you got me there.
00:54:48You're correcting me with facts, man.
00:54:51I resent me.
00:54:52You gotta be moving credit.
00:54:55The fans are going nuts.
00:54:56He'll be back in the ring in six days to finish the issue between he and the total package at Super Bowl this Sunday.
00:55:05You know what I gotta say?
00:55:06I've been calling him a part-time wrestler.
00:55:08He didn't look like a part-time wrestler tonight.
00:55:10He was on top of his game.
00:55:11Wait a minute.
00:55:12In the midst of all this, the total package is back in the ring.
00:55:18He's got the ball back.
00:55:20He did not pay attention.
00:55:21That's what he did.
00:55:22He starts from right.
00:55:23The music is loud.
00:55:24The fans are cheering.
00:55:25He doesn't realize what's going on.
00:55:27They won't be cheering in a second.
00:55:29He's totally oblivious to this guy with a bat right behind him.
00:55:34Yeah!
00:55:39Now does Hogan.
00:55:41I hear you, Yankee fan.
00:55:42You should like that.
00:55:43It looks like Derek Jeter.
00:55:44There's that chair on the arm.
00:55:45The chair's on Hogan's arm.
00:55:47He's going now.
00:55:48This happened to Jimmy Hunt.
00:55:50It happened to Brian Dahl.
00:55:51It happened to Vince McMahon.
00:55:53Did you hear that snap?
00:55:54It happened to Stan and now snapping to Hogan.
00:55:56That arm's definitely broken.
00:55:58The package is gonna make sure by beating it.
00:56:00Tony, I really heard the snaps.
00:56:01It was unbelievable.
00:56:02You're right, Mark Madden.
00:56:04He has either broken or severely injured the left arm of Hulk Hogan.
00:56:09And here's the best part.
00:56:10Hogan's too stupid to back out of Superbar.
00:56:13He'll show up broken arm or not.
00:56:15I can't wait.
00:56:16Hulk Hogan maybe didn't end tonight like I wanted.
00:56:18It'll end on Sunday.
00:56:20Broken arm and all your team will run.
00:56:23This day is not done.
00:56:24It will be done on Sunday.
00:56:27All right, gentlemen.
00:56:28We are back in the locker room area.
00:56:30Joining me is a man who has got double duty on this Valentine's night.
00:56:34He is the current reigning WCW Heavyweight Champion of the world, Sid Vicious.
00:56:39Tonight, Jeff Jarrett.
00:56:40Next Sunday, it's Super Bowl.
00:56:42Jeff Jarrett.
00:56:43However, tonight, you've got a shot at the United States title.
00:56:47Answer this question.
00:56:48Has everything Jeff Trey tried to do to me, has it backfired on him?
00:56:52It has.
00:56:53Yes, it has.
00:56:54Jeff Jarrett, see, you have, excuse me.
00:56:57No, no, no, no.
00:56:58You are asking for something you really don't want.
00:57:01See, I've never held two belts at one time, so it might be just a little bit sweet.
00:57:07Let me tell you something, see, tonight is the night that you bow down to the master.
00:57:12You and Scott Hall, I own both of you, cuz I am the master and I am the ruler.
00:57:19And here comes Jeff Jarrett in the ring.
00:57:29His US title is gonna be on the line against Sid Vicious, coming up next.
00:57:33Yeah, they're on the way they're doing right now.
00:57:37Yeah.
00:57:38Absolutely.
00:57:42Kevin Nash made it perfectly clear.
00:57:47We make the rules.
00:57:48NWO 2000 is on a mission to conquer and rule or to ruin and destroy the very existence of WCW.
00:57:58Is there anyone who can stop the insanity?
00:58:01Find out as Snickers presents WCW Super Brawl.
00:58:17Ladies and gentlemen here at WCW Monday Nitro, the action continues.
00:58:24Now it's time for a battle of champions.
00:58:29A battle of champions in the shadow of the three-way dance coming out Sunday night.
00:58:48I hear you right, there's no GQ as well?
00:58:54That's what I've been told.
00:58:56Wow.
00:58:57And that's the way the three-way dance could be.
00:59:01I guess so.
00:59:02I'm just beside myself in the three-way dance.
00:59:05I thought it was gonna be Jared against Sid, then maybe Hallmark's did.
00:59:09But in retrospect, even on kind of gone back and forth over the Nash administration and
00:59:13the Jared administration, maybe the three-way dance is the only fair way to go.
00:59:18I'm not sure if he's here to sit back.
00:59:20Ladies and gentlemen, coming to the ring of this time.
00:59:2451, 230 dollars, three-quarter high.
00:59:29From the Music City, USA.
00:59:32One of the best of a big race to disguise, famous for his role.
00:59:38Keep it to mind, time-time world champion, ladies and gentlemen,
00:59:42the reigning and defending WCW US Heavyweight Champion,
00:59:49the chosen one, Jeff Jarrett.
01:00:04Jeff Jarrett thought it was gonna be a world title match.
01:00:07And it should be, you know it should be.
01:00:09Well, no, if the world title's gonna be Sunday,
01:00:12it's gonna be here on Monday night.
01:00:15Well, what an opportunity for Sid, and I respect Sid.
01:00:18He's passed every test.
01:00:19I don't like him necessarily, but I respect him.
01:00:21He has a chance to hold both belts, US and world titles.
01:00:25The first guy to do it, Sid Skullberg.
01:00:28Only the second man to do it.
01:00:29Right now, Skullberg's one of a kind in everybody.
01:00:32So Sid Business has a chance to be within the same hole.
01:00:37Featured in the same breath.
01:00:40Just for now, maybe he'll get his children.
01:00:45One of the greatest big men in the first year in wrestling history.
01:00:50Kevin G. Paul.
01:00:52352 pounds.
01:00:55He won this from Maryland, Arkansas.
01:00:57Tonight, he is a challenger for the WCW US title.
01:01:02And his world title belt is not on the line.
01:01:05Ladies and gentlemen, the reigning WCW Heavyweight Champion of the World, Sid Fission.
01:01:19I'm thinking J.S. 9 to this one.
01:01:24By the way, Tony, the last time I had two belts in my hands, I dated this hand top and
01:01:28Roy Wilson one night, they were both wearing jeans.
01:01:32Let's go to the match.
01:01:33Jared all over.
01:01:34And that's what it should be.
01:01:36Sending Sid Vicious in, and Sid Vicious out to knock his block off here in the opening
01:01:40moment.
01:01:41Sending Jared down, into the ropes again.
01:01:43Jared through the legs off Sid Vicious.
01:01:45Down goes Jared again.
01:01:47And Sid right now just too strong for him here, Mark Patton.
01:01:51I would like to not like Sid Vicious, but he has passed every test.
01:01:56He's beating off guys 5-on-1, 4-on-1, 3-on-1.
01:02:00He just is a monster.
01:02:01He encounters insurmountable odds and beats him all the time.
01:02:05Now he's beating Jared, senseless.
01:02:08Down on the floor, once again, you see the photojournalist from around the world.
01:02:13We have about 15 extra here around.
01:02:17And that's nice, it makes him feel really special.
01:02:20These guys are in every wrestling publication in the world.
01:02:23Well, I saw that coming barely, Tony.
01:02:28Jeff Jarrett on my lap.
01:02:29Here comes Sid up on top of the table.
01:02:31I'll take play by play now, Tony, if you wanna be in here.
01:02:34There's a big water bottle shot on Jeff Jarrett.
01:02:40Tony, this is a pretty frisky thing.
01:02:41I'm gonna have to drop a few pounds to get out of the way a little quicker.
01:02:43Wow.
01:02:45Look at Sid, Sid's a monster.
01:02:47He's a maniac.
01:02:48He just keeps coming and coming.
01:02:51He's like Frankenstein.
01:02:52And the fact is, he has, and it's hard to believe, because of the way he's always been,
01:02:58he has picked up this intensity since becoming the world champ, which is something you have to do.
01:03:03Right.
01:03:04A lot of guys, when they get the belt, you can tell they shouldn't be world champ.
01:03:07As soon as Sid got it, you can tell he deserved it.
01:03:09Absolutely.
01:03:10And now Jarrett's on him, finally.
01:03:12Yeah.
01:03:13After getting spilled over the top of the table here, Jarrett is all over.
01:03:18There's a sleeper.
01:03:19Tony, I just have a feeling about Sunday.
01:03:23I think the chosen one is gonna become the chosen champion in the three-way dance, no DQ.
01:03:28I just think it's Jeff Jarrett's time.
01:03:30What about Scott Hall?
01:03:31And what a match they had last Wednesday on Thunder.
01:03:35The sleeper hold here applied.
01:03:37Sid Vicious could be a moment for being out.
01:03:40He dropped the hand that time.
01:03:42I think he's up.
01:03:43I think he is up.
01:03:44I got him.
01:03:45Now, great move by Jarrett there to get the center of gravity as low as possible, Tony.
01:03:49He's got it down, Sid Vicious.
01:03:54Your arm is up.
01:03:55He's out, don't even bother.
01:03:56Just give the match to Jeff.
01:03:57Last chance for Sid Vicious.
01:03:59Keep it up.
01:04:00There you go.
01:04:01Way to go.
01:04:03Vicious up.
01:04:04Vicious to a sitting position, but Jarrett stays behind the man.
01:04:08At least he didn't momentarily.
01:04:10Back elbow.
01:04:11Into the corner.
01:04:16Good move by Jarrett to get the feet up.
01:04:18That caught him long.
01:04:22Good kind of move by Sid.
01:04:24Here comes Jeff off the ropes.
01:04:25Big right hand.
01:04:26Yeah, he's just too strong.
01:04:27Right hand, Jarrett's gonna try to get some momentum off the ropes.
01:04:31Other side, Bigfoot.
01:04:32Now, whoever wins this match has a big psychological advantage.
01:04:36No!
01:04:37Yeah, going into Zipra, you're right.
01:04:39And it's gonna be Sid.
01:04:41Big touch, man.
01:04:45He's telling the Powerball.
01:04:47Well, this could put Jeff Jarrett out.
01:04:50There's Mickie J caught a heel in the face.
01:04:52Literally.
01:04:53Now, Jarrett back body drops Sid.
01:04:56Here's a chance for Jarrett, taking that US title in the ring, it looks like.
01:04:59Hey, the ref wasn't looking.
01:05:06It's no DQ Sunday.
01:05:07Might as well get some practice.
01:05:09One, two, three.
01:05:10Come on, one, two, three.
01:05:11That's gonna be it.
01:05:12One, two, Sid.
01:05:16See, Jeff won.
01:05:17That could have been an eight or a nine count.
01:05:18What the heck was Mickie J?
01:05:20Sid got the left shoulder out.
01:05:21I don't think it was a good cover.
01:05:22He's attacking the referee.
01:05:25He gave the referee the stroke.
01:05:28Well, again, it's no DQ Sunday.
01:05:33What the hell?
01:05:34Get some practice in.
01:05:36Now he's going to stroke on Sid.
01:05:38No, he's not.
01:05:39Sid puts the cross face on Jeff Jarrett, who's tapping out.
01:05:44Here come the Harris boys now.
01:05:46The Harris brothers have come in.
01:05:48Sid Vicious could not even get up to beat him in time.
01:05:55And now with the referee brutally attacked, it's three on one.
01:06:00And Sid Vicious is out of options here.
01:06:05Yeah, but the Harris boys are not options.
01:06:09And Jeff's got the guitar.
01:06:10Time for a little tune.
01:06:12A sad song might be a country tune, Tony.
01:06:14And look at, that's Mark Johnson.
01:06:31He got a pin, he got a pin.
01:06:33He's a two time, two time defeater of the world champion, Tony.
01:06:38And Supergirl Sunday High, it's gonna be a hat trick.
01:06:41He just beats Sid again.
01:06:43Can he score the hat trick at Supergirl?
01:06:46Fair and square, he beat him.
01:06:48Well, as fair and square as you need to, if it's no DQ, which will be this Sunday.
01:06:53Can he score the hat trick at Supergirl?
01:06:57Can he beat Sid for a third time?
01:06:59Yes, he can.
01:07:00We'll find out, we'll see you Sunday night.
