00:00TBS in the Power Hour. This morning, Missy Hyatt does the male. Her focus will be on Medusa.
00:06Can't wait to hear those comments. Plus, Gordon Soley has the WCW Control Center.
00:10Larry Zbysko takes on Jimmy Jam Garvin. And Stunning Steve defends the Television Championship.
00:15This morning on TBS.
00:30Ladies and gentlemen, the following talk test, it is set for one fall.
00:52Introducing first, from Detroit, Michigan, weighing 265 pounds, Rick Steiner.
01:04His opponent from New York City, 272 pounds, Lou Fabiano.
01:12Rick Steiner will be joined by his brother Scott for the first time in a long time
01:17in the Chamber of Horrors steel cage match at Halloween Havoc tomorrow night.
01:23And Lou Fabiano opening up with a lot of velocity here on the Dogface Gremlin.
01:31And look at the strength of Steiner.
01:35Just caught him in midair.
01:37And Fabiano's got to be right around 300 pounds.
01:41And a Steiner line.
01:45Tremendous impact.
01:47Rick Steiner, Rick Steiner, Scott Steiner, Sting, and Eligante will form a very tough quartet.
02:10Well, he's rather unorthodox.
02:17I'm sure that Fabiano says, hey, that move is the pits.
02:22Literally.
02:28Fabiano's got that top turnbuckle sagging, doesn't he?
02:31But not for long.
02:32Oh, man.
02:34Valley to valley suplex right off the top turnbuckle.
02:38And another victory for Rick Steiner.
02:40The winner of the match, Rick Steiner.
02:51We'll take another look.
02:54Valley to valley suplex right off the top.
02:57Rick Steiner and his brother back together again at Halloween Havoc this Sunday.
03:03We'll talk more about it in the hour.
03:05But now let's go to this week's top ten.
03:12Here's a look at the WCW top ten rankings and singles competition as compiled by promoters and members of the WCW board of directors for the weekend of Saturday, October 26th.
03:22In the number ten spot for the second week in a row, the computerized man of the 1990s, Terrence Taylor.
03:29The number nine man in this week to the top ten is the dog-faced gremlin, Rick Steiner.
03:35The number eight man up one spot from last week from Macon, Georgia, Johnny B. Band.
03:40In at number seven this week, the former world television champion, Beautiful Bobby.
03:44Up one spot to number six from Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, Cactus Jack.
03:49And the top five remains the same from last week.
03:52The number five man, the natural Dustin Rhodes.
03:54Number four, world TV champ, stunning Steve Austin.
03:56And number three, Barry Windham.
03:58In at number two, All-American Ron Simmons.
04:01And the number one ranked contender, the U.S. heavyweight champion, Sting.
04:06And of course, the WCW world heavyweight champion is the total package, Lex Luger.
04:19Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to TBS and the Power Hour.
04:27Jim Ross back with you.
04:28Thanks very much for being with us.
04:29Now, don't forget tonight on WCW, we'll start at 6.05, two big hours tonight.
04:34And we're going to show you a violent confrontation involving the Enforcers and the Freebirds.
04:40Now, if you've been following our broadcast here on TBS the past several weeks, you know
04:45that the Freebirds and Enforcers are involved in tremendous feud.
04:49Obviously, the Freebirds won an opportunity to wrestle for the World Tag Team Championship.
04:54In just a few moments, we're going to the ring to see a one-on-one matchup that features
04:58Jimmy Jam Garvin of the Freebirds and Larry Zbysko of the Enforcers.
05:03But first, I'd like to take you back to last week's WCW broadcast.
05:07Remember, the Enforcers' Freebirds situation last week featured Zbysko and Hayes one-on-one.
05:15I want to join the closing moments of that matchup, and then we'll go to the ring for
05:20this one-on-one confrontation on the Power Hour.
05:25Anderson up, breaking Hayes' concentration, thus giving Zbysko the opportunity now to gain
05:32an unfair advantage.
05:34He hit Hayes not only on the ropes, but from behind.
05:37Scoop slam by Zbysko, going for the cover here, but he, I don't think he even got one
05:45out of that one.
05:48And now Zbysko with a perfectly executed neckbreaker.
05:52That may be all for Hayes.
05:53And Nick Patrick got a good long two out of that one.
06:03This time it's Zbysko with a suplex.
06:07Lateral press, and Hayes, there you see our great camera work.
06:11Hayes, the foot in the rope.
06:12And now Zbysko choking blatantly, Michael P.S. Hayes.
06:22And Hayes again, that left.
06:25Zbysko with a roundhouse right.
06:28And now Hayes has the sleeper on Zbysko.
06:32Anderson from behind, nailing Hayes with a championship belt.
06:41As Yogi Berra would say, it's deja vu all over again from last week.
06:47And Anderson quite pleased with what he has just perpetrated.
06:54Hayes' running lights have been dimmed.
06:56But Hayes with an outside cradle.
06:58Can he hold it?
06:59Yes, he did.
07:00Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the match,
07:03fabulous Greenberg, Michael P.S. Hayes.
07:11Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest,
07:13it is set for one fall.
07:16Introducing first, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
07:19weighing 244 pounds,
07:22he is co-holder of the World Tag Team Championship
07:26along with double A, Arne Anderson.
07:30Ladies and gentlemen, the leading legend,
07:33Bobby Zbysko.
07:40Sir Lawrence of Zbysko being accompanied by his tag team partner
07:44and co-holder of the World Tag Team, Arne Anderson.
07:47And ladies and gentlemen, his opponent,
07:54from Fast Street, USA, in Atlanta, Georgia,
07:58accompanied by fabulous Freebird, Michael P.S. Hayes,
08:02is fabulous Freebird, Jimmy, Jim Garvin.
08:07Well, there's a lot of animosity right now in the ring.
08:14When they see the small down the street, they ran me up the way.
08:18Bad screen, 11th, yeah.
08:22Bad screen in the whole USA.
08:26Bad screen, nasty and hot.
08:29Michael Hayes doing the singing with the Bad Street Band there.
08:40And Zbysko tried to get the early advantage.
08:46And Garvin also assisted Anderson out of the ring.
08:49Well, two great veteran athletes here.
08:58Two men that have the ability to be very focused.
09:02They have, I think, very high skill levels.
09:13Rich's kick to the ribs there by Larry Zbysko.
09:15Bisco, not the most popular guy in these here parts
09:23because he's a Minnesota Twins fan.
09:28These here parts vending down in Georgia
09:30with this particular bounce being taped.
09:33Reversal of the Irish whip.
09:45And good counter move by Jimmy Jam Garvin there.
09:54Fans, don't forget that
09:55most outstanding publication on the newsstands today
09:59regarding wrestling is the WCW magazine.
10:03Without a doubt, it's the most
10:04informative, up-to-date
10:06wrestling publication available today.
10:13Nice nightmare takeover by Jimmy Jam Garvin.
10:16Lateral press.
10:20Garvin now the reverse chin lock on Zbysko.
10:23Michael Hayes getting the crowd involved here.
10:28If they'd like to see a DDT by Jimmy Jam.
10:35Garvin has dominated this match.
10:37Now, what's Hayes doing here?
10:39Well, Hayes may have cost his partner there
10:42because the referee didn't see Anderson's involvement.
10:46And that's going to cost them.
10:47Ladies and gentlemen, here's your winner,
10:49the living legend, Larry Zbysko.
10:54Well, Michael Hayes,
10:56emotion perhaps got the better of him here.
11:01And we'll show you what happened.
11:03Hayes having to be restrained.
11:05Referee with Hayes, and that's what happened.
11:08Left hand, right to the jaw, followed by a suplex.
11:12Zbysko wins this one.
11:14And we'll have more
11:15with the Dean, Gordon Solis.
11:17Right after this.
11:19Hello, I'm Gordon Solis,

13:13The total package Lex Luger
13:14against the All-American Ron Simmons at Halloween Havoc.
13:17I am especially interested in the battle
13:19for the WCW World's Heavyweight Championship
13:22with a two out of three falls stipulation
13:24between the total package Lex Luger
13:26and the All-American Ron Simmons.
13:29Never before in WCW has two more gifted athletes
13:33with magnificent football backgrounds
13:35met for the sport's most prized title.
13:38Lex Luger, a three-sport high school all-starter,
13:42recruited by Coach Joe Paterno at Pennsylvania State,
13:45and played for the Miami Hurricanes.
13:47Then, in the CFL, the NFL, and USFL,
13:51as an offensive lineman.
13:53Ron Simmons, on the other hand,
13:55was recruited by Coach Bobby Bowden
13:57at Florida State University,
13:59where he ranks as the Seminole's
14:01greatest defensive lineman of all time.
14:04The consensus All-American
14:05finished in the top ten
14:07in the Heisman Trophy race as well.
14:09Now here are some comments
14:10from the challenger and the champion.
14:14This Sunday night,
14:15the nation will finally get to see
14:17two athletes that match up
14:19in strength and size almost identically.
14:21At Halloween, Havoc Lex Luger
14:22I'm gonna be at my best.
14:24And you know what Ron Simmons is capable of.
14:26You played opposite of me
14:27playing professional football.
14:28You tried clipping me out of four downs,
14:30holding me.
14:31This Sunday, it'll be two out of three falls.
14:33You can try anything you want, brother.
14:35Kick, punch, snap anything you want.
14:37When I put your back on the mat
14:38for the one, two, three,
14:39the whole world is gonna rejoice in my victory.
14:42Halloween Havoc, this Sunday night.
14:48All the talking, all the posturing,
14:50all the contract signing,
14:52it's all done with.
14:53What it comes down to now
14:55is who is the greatest wrestler
14:56in the world today.
14:57The total package, Lex Luger,
14:59the world's heavyweight champion,
15:01the measuring stick
15:02in professional sports today
15:03against Ron Simmons,
15:05the All-American,
15:06all his football,
15:06all his everything culminates.
15:08And Halloween Havoc,
15:09this Sunday night,
15:10you get your chance, Ron,
15:11to realize your dream
15:12in two out of the three falls.
15:15I expect one of the most
15:17physically intense struggles
15:19ever witnessed
15:19on pay-per-view television
15:21between these two
15:22magnificent competitors.
15:24Remember, WCW has barred
15:26Mr. Hughes, Luger's bodyguard,
15:29from ringside during this event.
15:31Harley Race will remain at ringside
15:33because he has a WCW manager's license.
15:37Ron Simmons, as many of you now know,
15:39will have the American dream,
15:41Dusty Rhodes,
15:42as his manager for the night.
15:44I truly feel Dusty
15:46will neutralize race.
15:47And with Hughes gone,
15:49this title confrontation
15:50will be decided one-on-one.
15:54As my colleague Jim Ross
15:55said recently,
15:56the playing field is now level.
15:59Indeed it is.
16:00And this Sunday night
16:01at 7 p.m. Eastern time,
16:03exclusively on pay-per-view
16:05and the wrestling hotline.
16:07Lex Luger and Ron Simmons
16:09decide the richest prize in WCW
16:12in a bout that I'm sure
16:14will be discussed for years to come.
16:16You still have time to call
16:18your local cable company
16:19and order Halloween Havoc 91,
16:24if you dare.
16:25It is for the WCW
16:47World Television Championship.
16:51It is the 12-1 ball.
16:52Introducing first the challenger
16:54from Wyoming,
16:56Young Pistol,
16:58Steve.
16:59Steve Armstrong
17:00of the Young Pistols.
17:02It's a big one-on-one matchup here
17:04for the television title.
17:06We know that the Young Pistols
17:07also have their sights set
17:08on the Patriots' U.S. tag team.
17:10And ladies and gentlemen,
17:14his opponent
17:15is accompanied to the ring

17:42who once again
17:44put the gold on the line
17:45is the earth's wild valet
17:51Lady Blossom
17:52here at ringside as well.
17:55I don't really know
17:56what Missy Hyatt,
17:58why Missy
17:58has so much animosity
17:59toward Lady Blossom.
18:01I would think
18:03they have a lot in common.
18:04I know of two big things
18:05they have in common.
18:06Number one,
18:07that they both manage champions
18:08in their career.
18:11And I don't think
18:12that neither one
18:13is a natural blonde.
18:17She is Miss Blossom there
18:20certainly surprised
18:21last week
18:23when Medusa

19:00the hot-tempered
19:00Armstrong here.
19:08And it's certainly
19:09different than it was
19:10years ago.
19:12Wrestlers wearing
19:12ponytails
19:13and earrings.
19:15They see the same thing
19:16in the National Football League
19:17so I guess it's
19:18just the changing
19:20of the times.

20:23They should conduct
20:23their business

22:43this one.
22:44First of all,

23:01but Austin
23:02also had
23:02the tights.
23:03His feet
23:04were in
23:04the ropes.
23:09Stunning
23:10Steve
23:10with a
23:10victory
23:11here on
23:11the
23:11Power Hour.
23:12If you
23:12remember
23:12last week,
23:14Stunning
23:14Steve defended
23:14the television
23:15championship
23:16last Saturday
23:17night against
23:18PN News.
23:19We saw
23:19Medusa
23:19hit the
23:20ring and
23:21get involved
23:22in the
23:22situation.
23:23Well, we
23:24followed
23:24Medusa
23:25to Montgomery,
23:26Alabama.
23:27And tonight
23:27on WCW,
23:29we're going
23:29to show
23:30you exactly
23:31what transpired
23:32when Medusa
23:33once again
23:34caught up
23:34with Stunning
23:35Steve Austin
23:36and Lady
23:37Blossom.
23:37I'll talk
23:38to Medusa
23:38tonight right
23:39here on
23:39the broadcast.
23:41Now, ladies
23:41and gentlemen,
23:42in just a few
23:42moments, I'll
23:43return to the
23:44ring with you,
23:44and we're
23:45going to see
23:45the Patriots
23:46in action.
23:47Now, they
23:48are the reigning
23:48United States
23:49Tag Team
23:50champions,
23:50and tomorrow
23:51night,
23:52they will
23:52challenge the
23:53Enforcers for
23:54the World
23:54Tag Team
23:55title.
23:56The Enforcers
23:56obviously have
23:57been very
23:58immersed in
23:59their situation
23:59with the
24:00Freebirds.
24:01I feel the
24:01Enforcers will
24:02be very
24:02vulnerable
24:03tomorrow night
24:03at Halloween
24:04Havoc.
24:04I'll talk
24:05more about
24:05that, but
24:06right now,
24:06let's go
24:07to the
24:07ring.
24:10The following
24:11Tag Team
24:11event, it is
24:12that for one
24:13fall, introducing
24:15first, from the
24:16WCW Special
24:17Forces, they are
24:19the United States
24:20Tag Team
24:21champions, fire
24:22breaker chip,
24:23the champion,
24:25the Patriots.
24:29Good luck
24:29for everyone.
24:30The national
24:31fine weight,
24:32442 pounds,
24:34first, from
24:35Seymour, Indiana,
24:37Rip Rogers,
24:38Williams, and
24:39from Chattanooga,
24:40Tennessee, Paul
24:42Lee.
24:45All right,
24:46ladies and
24:47gentlemen, the
24:47Patriots, to take
24:48on this rather
24:49bizarre pair,
24:50two peroxide
24:51blonds dressed in
24:52pink.
24:53Well, I don't
24:54know.
24:56United States
24:57Tag Team
24:58champions, as I
25:00mentioned, will be
25:00taking on the
25:01Enforcers at
25:03Halloween Havoc,
25:03exclusively on
25:04pay-per-view and
25:06the wrestling hotline
25:07tomorrow night.
25:12But I've heard
25:13through the
25:13grapevine that
25:14the Young
25:15Pistols would
25:16like the
25:17opportunity to
25:18wrestle the
25:18Patriots for the
25:19United States
25:20Tag Team
25:20championship as

25:24everyone, Missy
25:25does the mail.
25:28You'll talk about
25:29Medusa in the
25:30program.
25:30It'll be
25:33interesting to hear
25:33what Miss
25:35Hyatt has to say
25:36about Medusa.
25:37And for you,
25:38for those of you
25:38that did not see

25:54bit more compact

26:24Ron Simmons
26:25that will air
26:26for you tomorrow
26:27on the main
26:28event.
26:30He really
26:30puts things in
26:31perspective.
26:32Certainly hope
26:33the youngsters
26:33will listen to
26:34that interview
26:34tomorrow on
26:35the main
26:35event here

27:26at 9 o'clock
27:27Eastern time
27:28tonight right
27:29on the wrestling
27:30hotline.
27:31When we come
27:31back, we'll be
27:32joined by Missy
27:33Hyatt, who
27:35will do the
27:36mail.
27:53Welcome back to
27:54the Power Hour.
27:55I'm Missy Hyatt,
27:56and this is
27:57Missy Does the
27:57Mail.
27:58My focus today
27:59concerns two of
28:00the newest
28:01sensations in
28:02WCW.
28:03Both are very
28:04unique and
28:05certainly seem
28:06to be on
28:06their way to
28:07stardom.
28:08First of all,
28:09let's take a
28:09look at one
28:10of the world's
28:11greatest female
28:12athletes,
28:13Medusa.
28:14She is from
28:15Milan, Italy,
28:16and has trained
28:16extensively with
28:18the martial arts
28:19experts in
28:20Japan.
28:21Here's a look
28:22at Medusa
28:22in her first
28:23bout in
28:24WCW.
28:25And now
28:30Medusa up
28:31on that
28:31second
28:31turnbuckle.
28:34All right
28:35for the
28:35job kit.
28:36But
28:36Lalani Kai
28:37had that
28:37one well
28:38scouted
28:38and moved
28:39out of
28:39the way.
28:41Lalani Kai
28:42has been
28:42one half
28:43of the
28:43women's
28:44tag team
28:44champions
28:45on many,
28:46many occasions.
28:49Nice
28:49reversal.
28:50But the
28:51elbow caught
28:51Medusa
28:52right in
28:52the ear.
28:55And Medusa
28:59got her
29:00out.
29:00Battle of
29:01our
29:01suplex
29:01through the
29:02bridge.
29:02And a victory.
29:04Ladies and
29:04gentlemen,
29:05here's your
29:05opener,
29:06Medusa.
29:09Medusa
29:10was very
29:11impressive
29:11in securing
29:12her first
29:13victory in
29:13WCW.
29:15Obviously,
29:16she is one
29:16of the
29:17toughest
29:17women in
29:18the world.
29:19But later
29:20in that
29:20same TV
29:21show,
29:22she returned
29:23to the
29:23ring under
29:23very unusual
29:24circumstances.
29:26Stunning
29:27Steve Austin
29:27had just
29:28successfully
29:29defended the
29:30world TV
29:31title.
29:32He had
29:32just a
29:33little help
29:33from his
29:34so-called
29:35lady,
29:35Lady Blossom.
29:37Dustin
29:37Rhodes
29:38came to
29:38the ring
29:39to be a
29:39big
29:40tattletale
29:41when Medusa
29:42showed up.
29:43Here's
29:43what happened.
29:45PN News
29:46had Stunning
29:47Steve beaten
29:48right there.
29:49And now
29:49look,
29:50looks like
29:50last week.
29:51Those brass
29:52nuts,
29:53or whatever
29:53they are,
29:55Lady Blossom
29:55gave them
29:56the PN News.
29:58And he
29:58just got
29:59his lights
30:00dimmed.
30:01And Austin
30:02will win it
30:03all.
30:03Ladies and
30:04gentlemen,
30:04the winner
30:05and still
30:05world television
30:06champion,
30:08stunning
30:08Steve Austin.
30:11Well,
30:11Dustin Rhodes,
30:12a kid that
30:13believes in
30:14fair play.
30:15And what's
30:16right is
30:16right.
30:17And what
30:17we have just
30:18seen isn't
30:19right.
30:19And he's
30:20telling the
30:20referee that
30:21she has
30:22put that
30:23object back
30:25in her
30:25address.
30:26And wait a
30:27minute.
30:27Here comes
30:28Medusa.
30:29She just
30:29shoves Dustin
30:30out of the
30:30way.
30:32And she's
30:33going to
30:33search,
30:34and she
30:34found it.
30:35There they
30:35are,
30:36the brass
30:37nuts.
30:38Referees
30:39going to
30:39reverse the
30:40decision.
30:43Ladies and
30:44gentlemen,
30:45wins it.
30:46The decision
30:47has been
30:47reversed.
30:48The winner
30:48of the
30:49match,
30:49the
30:50rep
30:50master,
30:51P.
30:51N.
30:52Moves.
30:54What a
30:54Berinsky.
30:55Medusa
30:55should mind
30:56her own
30:57business.
30:58Only when
30:58she reaches
30:59my level
30:59can she
31:00make other
31:01people's
31:01business
31:01her own.
31:02Now,
31:03to something
31:03much more
31:04exciting than
31:05that ugly
31:06tomboy,
31:07WCW has
31:08signed a
31:086 foot 6
31:10inch,
31:11290 pound
31:13Greek god
31:14by the
31:15name of
31:16Heavy Metal
31:17Van Hammer.
31:18This guy
31:19from New
31:19York City
31:20is a
31:20real hunk.
31:22I could
31:23probably even
31:23find time
31:24to allow
31:24him to
31:25buy me
31:25dinner.
31:26As I
31:27end this
31:27week's
31:27Missy
31:28Does the
31:28Mail,
31:29here is
31:29a music
31:30video on
31:30Heavy
31:31Metal
31:31Van Hammer.
31:43Dool
31:45Dool
31:47In
32:01A music
32:04game
32:05of
32:09A music
32:10it
36:00Executive Director of the York Foundation, Alexandra York.
36:05First from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing 218 pounds, Thomas Rich.
36:12And from Vero Beach, Florida, 234 pounds, the computerized man of the 1990s, Terrence Taylor.
36:26Tag team action here on the Power Hour.
36:28Referring back to Missy Does the Mail, I think she likes Van Hammer.
36:33And it's very strange because she's the ghost of the short guys.
36:38And ladies and gentlemen, fair opponents.
36:40Introducing first, from Cincinnati, Ohio, weighing 218 pounds, Ryan Ryan.
36:50And from Tampa, Florida, 218 pounds, Mike William.
36:58And in regards to Van Hammer, I mentioned Missy usually likes short guys.
37:05It seems like all of her short-term, long-term, whatever way you want to look at a relationship,
37:12it's a bit with little short guys.
37:13And she certainly seemed to be rather enthralled about heavy metal Van Hammer, who stands a full 6'6", I think.
37:21About 295.
37:22And tomorrow in the main event, Van Hammer will take on Cactus Jack.
37:27Mike Graham with the armbar.
37:32Terrence Taylor.
37:33Both these men from Florida.
37:36Tag May.
37:37Good move by Graham.
37:39Taylor very confused.
37:41He thought Graham was the legal man.
37:44Graham's a great general in the ring.
37:47Nice elevation there.
37:51Ryan Bryant showing us all what he can do.
37:55And this kid has a chance to make history this Sunday night at 7 o'clock Eastern when he will wrestle the other member,
38:04the absent member of the York Foundation, Richard Morton, for the first WCW Light Heavyweight Championship.
38:11Vans, as we mentioned, tonight on WCW, Sting and Beautiful Bobby to take on Cactus Jack and Abdullah the Butcher.
38:21I'm going to try to have a conversation with the mysterious Medusa.
38:28We've prepared a special feature on Van Vader, who's returning to WCW.
38:34And we'll show you a recent altercation involving the Freebirds and the Enforcers that all started from basically an interview.
38:44That and more tonight on WCW.
38:46Hope you'll be with us.
38:54Nice shoulder block by Thomas Rich.
38:59Great movement by Flying Bryant.
39:01Taking Rich up and over.
39:03Boy, Pillman and Morton tomorrow night's matchup should be a dandy.
39:08Really should be a dandy, I'll tell you.
39:11Both these guys will take a chance.
39:13They're both tough.
39:14They're both not going to be intimidated.
39:17They seem to be both at a close to or close enough to 100% that their physical well-being should not be used as an excuse.
39:26And look at Graham fight out of that corner.
39:29Graham has been like a mentor to Pillman.
39:31Graham's a veteran.
39:33Grew up in an era in Florida where great technical wrestlers were abounding.
39:42Like Jack Briscoe and Dory Funk Jr., just to name a couple.
39:45And the figure four, he's got it.
39:53It's one of the finest moves from the Graham family.
39:58And Taylor able to kick Graham in the head a couple of times.
40:01And that will tend to convince you to relinquish your hold.
40:08And there's a neckbreaker.
40:09Mike Graham involved in that situation I mentioned earlier.
40:20I said our cameras followed Medusa to Montgomery, Alabama.
40:23It was during the Mike Graham stunning scene matchup that she appeared again.
40:31We'll have that tonight now.
40:34High elevation there by Brian.
40:36Brian, dropkicks, Thomas Ritz right off the apron to the security railing.
40:44All four men now back in there.
40:48York Foundation has tried every way possible to hurt Pillman before this Sunday night.
40:54They just about succeeded.
41:02Cross body there.
41:04He's got his left hook.
41:06It's flying Brian and Mike Graham will win it.
41:08The team of Mike Graham and Brian Brian.
41:16Well, there has been a few modifications in Halloween Havoc.
41:20Some guys are pretty banged up.
41:23And they'll have a report from now until 9 o'clock on the hotline.
41:29Great move there.
41:30Flying move.
41:31What a matchup it'll be tomorrow.
41:35Don't forget, fans, to join us tonight on WCW and Outstanding Broadcast.
41:39I will be speaking to Barry Windham tonight.
41:41And I'm going to ask Barry why he's on the team that he has chosen to be on at Halloween Havoc
41:46in the Chamber of Horrors Steel Cage match.
41:48Why is Barry Windham a partner of Abdul the Butcher, the Diamond Stud, and Oz?
41:53I'll ask that question tonight.
41:54Plus, tonight, it has been signed Sting and Beautiful Bobby Eaton.
41:58We'll take on Cactus Jack and Abdul the Butcher.
42:01There's no doubt that Sting and Beautiful Bobby both have a score to settle with Cactus Jack and Abdullah.
42:07Should be an outstanding broadcast tonight.
42:09Plus, I'll be speaking with Medusa.
42:12Very mysterious, but a very dominant female athlete.
42:16Why is she here in WCW?
42:19We will find out tonight on the broadcast.
42:22And don't forget, tomorrow in the main event, great main event, Cactus Jack one-on-one with heavy metal Van Hammer.
42:30We'll talk more about it tonight at 6.05.
42:32Until then, I'm Jim Ross.
42:33So long, everybody.
