25:04the return match for the wcw light heavyweight championship between the champion
25:08flying brian and the man he defeated at halloween havoc for the title richard morton now wasn't
25:14that a fascinating piece of videotape we saw earlier on jushin thunder liger he'll be in atlanta's omni
25:20on christmas night to challenge the winner of this matchup right now without any further ado let's go
25:26to the ring and we are ready for this rematch here senior referee nick patrick
25:37trying to keep these two very competitive athletes apart until the bell sounds and the match officially
25:46began certainly want to remind the fans that starcade exclusively on pay-per-view will be sunday december
25:56the 29th and for our fans in the gainesville georgia area
26:00the starcade event will be on widescreen closed circuit television at the georgia mountain center
26:09in gainesville live as it happens i understand that will be the only location in georgia that the
26:16broadcast will be available on widescreen for you other fans we certainly encourage you to call your
26:24local cable company for that one ms alexander york has not only had to be a astute business
26:34person but a very staunch mediator last few weeks as there has been some dissension in her ranks
26:42slap of the face by the challenger at this event great quickness both these men are so quick
26:53highly skilled and a slap and retaliation
26:57great crowd on hand to see this rematch for the wcw light heavyweight championship
27:05and as we mentioned we are all anxiously awaiting the wcw united states debut of jushin thunder liger
27:15he'll kick off his american tour on christmas night in atlanta's omni
27:22liger also scheduled to be in dallas at reunion arena the meadowlands and east rutherford new jersey
27:31also baltimore arena and uh i'm not mistaken mr liger will also be participating in star king
27:43martin with a kick to the midsection and a martial arts blow and his challenge for the light heavyweight championship here
27:55martin gained so much fame as a tag team competitor as a member of the rock and roll express
28:04and flying brian with a head scissor takes the challenger outside i want to thank my colleague tony shivani
28:14for setting in for me last sunday on am 750 wsb
28:23and wrestling with jim ross hope you'll be listening
28:36ms york
28:39somewhat concerned and rightfully so here in this early going of this championship event
28:48we've got a great broadcast tonight on wcw not only
29:00will we uh have a big eight-man tag team event that fly and brian is involved in
29:07we will also uh hear some very interesting comments
29:14from some of the top wcw stars and we will focus on the dangerous alliance in wcw magazine
29:23and morton came down rather gingerly
29:29and uh flying brian follows up with an inverted atomic drop
29:34certainly slowing morton down
29:41referee nick patrick asking morton if he'd like to stop the match
29:52billman very very competitive
30:03and has uh been very active in
30:07the light heavyweight division since winning the championship
30:10i hope that the fans and the promoters will give this division the respect that it's due
30:21thumb to the eye by
30:26richard morton
30:27and now wrecking flying brian's eyes across the top ring rope
30:32backs him into the corner
30:36great right hand by morton
30:38morton very experienced
30:41has that advantage in this contest
30:45but fly and brian
30:47so explosive
30:50morton somewhat frustrated
30:55morton rather irate here he is seizing
31:03morton out regaining the advantage
31:22tossing uh the champion outside
31:26not only allowing morton to get a little respite but to
31:32expect a little punishment on the fly and brian who
31:36sails back in the ring and got a near fall there
31:39morton up
31:41the quicker of the two and the thumb buried into the eye
31:44not very scientific yet very effective
31:48brian brian now
31:56and new york
31:59oh my gosh right around the corner
32:01brian brian
32:03did not make a smart move there
32:08he's got to disregard and factor out miss york he did not do that
32:15and uh that allowed morton to gain an advantage here
32:19and now if morton can maintain this advantage
32:23he is going to be on his way to the throne room
32:28and a knee
32:29to the ribs fly and brian
32:32bouncing around like a tennis ball
32:35hillman made a tactical error
32:40in chasing miss york
32:43i guess he was looking for some sort of hostile takeover
32:49a minute shot there
32:56hillman's still on the defensive
32:58martin with a kick to the midsection
33:00and again
33:02hillman's chest
33:04feels the cold steel
33:07that surrounds the ring
33:08martin now seems to be
33:15building
33:15momentum and confidence in this contest
33:19and it's an inverted atomic drop this time
33:24executed by the challenger
33:27lateral press
33:28and hillman
33:31barely able to kick out
33:33see the referee holding up two fingers
33:37it was uh less than one away
33:39from a new champion
33:40being crowned right here this morning on tbs
33:43spinning karate kick by
33:51lyon bryant
33:52and the former cincinnati bingle now
33:55just went for a high risk move that did not pay off
34:00hope our fans in the atlanta area will plan on being with us
34:07this monday at center stage
34:11seven o'clock starting time for the big national television taping
34:15that suplex into a lateral press another near fall situation
34:23the taping at center stage begins at seven o'clock
34:27morton now is controlling this uh situation
34:39in this contest for the wcw light heavyweight title
34:43elbow to the midsection
34:51and but a good counter move by the challenger
34:55you get the experience factor now
34:59really becoming evident
35:01as morton is controlling the tempo
35:04that is so important
35:05we are
35:07in the early stages of this year's basketball season
35:12you hear the term
35:13controlling the tempo
35:14if you're a fast-breaking team
35:16being able to get the ball out on the break
35:18move the ball rapidly up the floor
35:20same holds true in wrestling
35:22the wrestler that controls the tempo
35:26that dictates the pace
35:27more often than not will win the match
35:30roaming up
35:41trying to separate himself
35:44finally does
35:45separate himself from morton that is
35:50and now that was a good move
35:52a real veteran-like move by the champion
35:55and morton instinctively
36:00stuck his hand out for a tag
36:02maybe in this as his lights were down
36:05he saw his old partner
36:07standing in the corner
36:08elbow by flyin' bryant
36:13and again morton with the advantage
36:20quite frankly morton has controlled this match
36:24the last five or six minutes in my estimation
36:27every time the flyin' bryant tries to mount any offense
36:33to develop any continuity offensively
36:37morton is there to counter
36:39body slam
36:45elbow right to the face
36:47and a lateral press
36:50and the former football captain
36:55in the mid-america conference at miami of ohio
36:59able to kick out
37:00we are kicking off a tremendous wrestling weekend
37:14good counter
37:15here on tbs
37:17big two-hour broadcast
37:19later today on wcw
37:21hope you'll join me
37:24at six o'clock eastern time for that
37:27and then tony
37:29and missy
37:30on the main event tomorrow
37:33that big u.s. tag team championship matchup
37:37involving the pistols and the patriots
37:39by and bryant with the drop kick
37:44now if morton is quick to take advantage here
37:48we can certainly see a new champion crown
37:51drops a fist on the forehead
37:54lateral press
37:58one
37:58two
37:59and a
37:59less than one half
38:01tonight on wcw
38:06we'll see
38:06jushin thunder liger
38:08and chris ben wa
38:10ben wa
38:12formerly rustled as the
38:14pegasus kid
38:15good friend of
38:16flyin' bryant
38:18they both
38:18trained together
38:20in calgary
38:21and promoter
38:23stewhart's dungeon
38:24there
38:25and so we are looking forward to the
38:29liger ben wa
38:31match
38:31later today on wcw
38:34bellman trying to return to a vertical base
38:41he does so
38:42morton quick though
38:43to send him for the ride
38:44flyin' bryant
38:46using that left foot
38:48placed it deeply into the solar plexus
38:51plexus
38:52chop to the chest and another one that sounded like a gun exploded
39:03on the boat
39:05flyin' bryant
39:05flyin' bryant now
39:10with an adrenaline surge
39:11air pillman found its mark
39:13ัะตัry-beryant
39:13slack
39:13flyin' bryant
39:15A light heavyweight champion now, building a head of steam here.
39:22Good power slam.
39:25Leg is hooked, and the challenger able to kick out.
39:30235, the maximum you can weigh in this division.
39:37Again, Pillman with the advantage.
39:45Another lateral press, and another near fall here on the power hour.
39:56Up and over he goes.
39:59He's got him pinned, and Miss York distracting the referee.
40:04And now, it's Morton with a computer.
40:09That's how they won the six-man tag team titles.
40:13He's got him.
40:14He may have it right here.
40:17And his foot was on the rope out of our camera angle.
40:24Pillman, lucky to be near the ropes.
40:28And inside cradle, and he's got him.
40:31He's got him.
40:32Morton with a cradle.
40:33And ladies and gentlemen, the winner is still light heavyweight champion,
40:38Flying Brian.
40:40Well, Flying Brian has won this match, but Morton, who was just defeated with that inside cradle,
40:48sometimes referred to as a small package, gaining a measure of revenge using the pile driver.
40:55There's Mike Graham, the squeegee man, who is Pillman's mentor.
41:03Hard-fought victory here.
41:04What a matchup.
41:05Certainly a very hard-fought victory for Flying Brian here this morning on the Power Hour.
41:13And remember, Flying Brian's scheduled to take on Jushin Thunder Liger on Christmas night in Atlanta's Omni.
41:21Now, fans, we've got an outstanding broadcast tonight on WCW.
41:24As you have heard me mention, we'll have ravishing Rick Rude and Pauly Dangerously on hand.
41:28We hope to also talk to the world's heavyweight champion, Lex Luger, about his feud with Rick Steiner.
41:34Until we see you tonight, I'm Jim Ross.
41:36So long, everybody.
