00:00:00Hold on a minute, whoo, it's disinfecting you, C-E-O!

00:00:19Just who in the hell do you think you are?

00:00:21I'm your CEO, and you, my friend, whoo, can do nothing about it.

00:00:27The problem with Kevin Nash is that he can't use me.

00:00:29I'm not going to be one of his little puppet boys.

00:00:31And I will prove that by becoming the first ex-Thriller

00:00:34to become WCW World Heavyweight Champion.

00:00:37Booker T, when I look at you, I see a beaten man

00:00:41still carrying around that world title.

00:00:44Steiner, if you want some, you can get some.

00:00:46Wait a minute, the ball again!

00:00:48He wiped out Steiner, and he wiped out Austin.

00:00:51He is a World Heavyweight Champion.

00:00:54Don't hate the player, hate the game.

00:00:59We're live from Chicago, but earlier today, this happened to Sting,

00:01:03arriving in the building.

00:01:05I just, I really want to apologize.

00:01:07From behind, Big Papa Pop!

00:01:10In comes the big ball, but once again, the nut is loose on Natra!

00:01:17You know what?

00:01:18With that void in the seventh segment, you get those guys,

00:01:23throw the chosen one in there, they have a little tag match.

00:01:27What did you say?

00:01:29What the hell did I just say?

00:01:31Let me tell you something.

00:01:32I guarantee you, if I put Jeff Jarrett in that deal,

00:01:36somebody is going to be S-O-L.

00:01:42And you know what that means.

00:01:44you!

00:01:47you!

00:01:48You!

00:01:50Who the hell!

00:01:51Who the hell!

00:01:53Who the hell?!

00:01:57Who the hell?!

00:01:59You!

00:02:00How many of you do?

00:02:01You're right!

00:02:05Make no mistake about it.

00:02:33This is the house Michael Jordan built, but tonight, the United Center in Chicago welcome World Championship Wrestling.

00:02:42This is WCW's Monday Night Show on TNT.

00:02:47And hi, everybody. So good you can be with us live for the next two hours.

00:02:51Tony Schiavone, Scott Hudson, and the best-looking big man in all of television still is Mark Madden, and he's with us here at Rinkside.

00:02:59And we just saw what Scott Steiner is attempting to do tonight.

00:03:05He is a man who is out of control, gentlemen, and he is a man who cannot be controlled.

00:03:10He's totally insane. Nobody can stop him.

00:03:14At mayhem, Booker T won't stop him.

00:03:16Scott Steiner has looked at Smith once again tonight at the United Center.

00:03:20And oh, I like it, Tony. I like it a lot.

00:03:23The Freak is loose backstage. No one is safe.

00:03:27And speaking of loose, the most egotistical, narcissistic man this sport has ever created.

00:03:34Lex Luger is in the United Center back home in Chicago.

00:03:37You may ask the question, who can trust Lex Luger?

00:03:42Well, the answer is nobody.

00:03:44He is the man who's been out for himself only, and here he comes to the ring,

00:03:48and he has made some bold challenges ever since being reinstated by the new CEO, Nature Boy Ric Flair.

00:03:56Well, my question would be, can Lex Luger trust anybody himself?

00:04:00Can Lex Luger trust WCW?

00:04:02This promotion left him out in the cold.

00:04:05He's a former world champion.

00:04:07He's an all-time great, and this promotion sent him home.

00:04:10They sent him home.

00:04:13Wait a minute. What do we got here?

00:04:18Before I go on, I came out here to really say,

00:04:25Mark Madden, would you please stand up for one moment?

00:04:29Oh, boy.

00:04:30Scott, I'm going to slide over here.

00:04:32Now, I hear you become, last week on television, when I took my shirt off,

00:04:40an expert on a level of physical fitness and body fat level of professional athletes,

00:04:46one of the best conditioned professional athletes in the history of our sport and all of sports.

00:04:51That's correct. I complimented you.

00:04:53I'm talking. You talked last week. I talked this week.

00:04:57Keep your big fat mouth shut.

00:05:00He's producing now.

00:05:01You better do what he says, Mark.

00:05:02Now, what you see here is an example of what they call an endomorph.

00:05:08That has a gigantic glob of cellulite, fat, poor conditioning,

00:05:15slatherly eating habits, and a piece of garbage.

00:05:18This, Mark Madden, is what you call mesomorphic magnificence.

00:05:22This is the guy who's 6'4", 280, 4% body fat, and the greatest shape of any athlete on the planet Earth.

00:05:30So now on, you're going to talk about me and my level of conditioning.

00:05:33Just keep your mouth shut because you can't even talk about it.

00:05:36Okay.

00:05:37Well, that's wrong.

00:05:38That's wrong even for you, Mark.

00:05:39I apologize for that.

00:05:41You talked about an egomaniac.

00:05:43I think that's out of line.

00:05:44That is out of line.

00:05:45You were catatonic.

00:05:46Well, so much for the heels working together.

00:05:49Sorry.

00:05:49Thanks for backing me up, by the way, guys.

00:05:53You're going to have to rewrite your scripted ad libs.

00:05:55Now, this is how a show called WCW and the two superstars of our sport is supposed to start off with.

00:06:04Welcome back, the total package, Lex Luger.

00:06:08Wow, he does look phenomenal there.

00:06:10Look at him.

00:06:10Look at the arms.

00:06:12Truly one of the greatest bodies ever seen in sports entertainment.

00:06:15Now, when I bashed out Buff Bagwell's brains last week, that was to make a statement.

00:06:29His hometown crowd is turning on it.

00:06:31Well, these people are backing me up.

00:06:33That's the bottom line.

00:06:34God, these people love me.

00:06:36Can you blame them?

00:06:37My next statement was that the streak that sickened me, and I think belittled everybody who made WCW, from the Ric Flairs, to the Stings, to Kevin Nash's, the guys who are at home like Scott Hall,

00:06:55from Bret Hart, from Hulk Hogan, to Randy Savage, to the Standard Brothers, to the Rome Warriors, Bill Goldberg, your bogus streak of 176 is not going to happen again.

00:07:09So it's a true superstar, a true superstar in our sport, a man who for over a decade has been at the very top of his game,

00:07:18is challenging you, and we got, and we got a match made in mayhem, and your streak will be history.

00:07:29No question where his focus lies.

00:07:33It's on the man, Goldberg, and his streak, who's got Bam Bam Bigelow here tonight.

00:07:38Goldberg, cheer for him while you can, because when I'm done with him, Goldberg won't be here anymore.

00:07:44What's he got in his hand?

00:07:45Now I heard that Goldberg's been working on a book for 18 months.

00:07:54I thought he was reading it, but I guess he was actually writing one.

00:07:59As a matter of fact, I have in my hand a WCW magazine that printed a full chapter of Bill Goldberg's book.

00:08:10I'm realizing, you know, it's pretty darn good.

00:08:12He likes the book.

00:08:16Ross, as a matter of fact, one of the stalwarts of WCW magazine, Ross Foreman's here.

00:08:22Ross, please, do me the pleasure of coming out into the ring here.

00:08:25Come on.

00:08:26Oh, now what?

00:08:27Ross Foreman, Chicago's own Ross Foreman, one of the integers of our magazine.

00:08:32It's guys like Ross Foreman who make WCW and the WCW magazine function the way it truly does.

00:08:41Ross Foreman, we've been friends, you're a pillar in that office of WCW early hour, you're a strong man.

00:08:49Now tell me, what did you find more enlightening in this magazine?

00:08:52Please take a look.

00:08:53Did you find more enlightening a chapter of so-called the Bill Goldberg story in there?

00:08:59Or the in-depth analysis interview of a true superstar in our sport, the Total Package Lex Luger?

00:09:09Well, let's, I guess you, what do we got here?

00:09:14There's nothing in here, Lex.

00:09:16Say it again, Ross.

00:09:17There's a story on Bill, but nothing on you.

00:09:22This piece of garbage, they call a magazine, does not have one single picture.

00:09:28Don't go anywhere, Ross.

00:09:29I need you right here.

00:09:31Not one single article on the superstar himself, the Total Package Lex Luger.

00:09:38He's been gone for six months.

00:09:39It's a conspiracy because there's been a bunch of imposters out here on the magazine, in the magazine, on our show, a bunch of scabs posing as wrestlers from the wrestling school.

00:09:51There's a bunch of women who take their clothes off for a box of protein bars instead of true superstars with the Total Package Lex Luger.

00:09:59And this stinking magazine that you're a prior writing doesn't have one single thing on Lex Luger.

00:10:05He's flipped.

00:10:05Is that correct?

00:10:06He is flipped.

00:10:07Nothing in this issue.

00:10:08You're right, Scott.

00:10:08I want you to take everybody back in the office at WCW, especially your good pal, Bill Goldberg, back.

00:10:14Just one thing, Ross, okay?

00:10:16For me, please.

00:10:17Here, hold this.

00:10:19Come on.

00:10:20Come on.

00:10:21This is Lex.

00:10:23Come on.

00:10:24No.

00:10:25No.

00:10:25A defenseless office guy, and he's got him in the park to rack.

00:10:29Come on, he's rocking Ross.

00:10:31So much for freedom in the press.

00:10:32Ross Foreman screaming like a woman up there.

00:10:34He's screaming like, well, actually, like a man who's being broken in half.

00:10:39Come on.

00:10:39Ross isn't an athlete, Lex.

00:10:41Jesus, he's snapped.

00:10:43This hole is dangerous for an athlete.

00:10:45Not an office personnel.

00:10:47Come on.

00:10:47He's gonna break him in half, and we need medical assistance right now.

00:10:50There's no call for this.

00:10:52He's gone limp.

00:10:52Scott Stein is not the only psycho at WCW.

00:10:55Lex Luger's lost it.

00:10:56The total package has come unwrapped.

00:10:59What has he got to do?

00:11:00Lex, let him go.

00:11:01For God's sake, drop the man, and somebody needs to.

00:11:04I'm afraid, fans, that Ross Foreman is gonna need some serious medical attention.

00:11:09There was nothing the referees could do at all with this maniac,

00:11:14just because he was not in the magazine.

00:11:17Boy, that's egotism.

00:11:19That's narcissism on the parade.

00:11:20Goldberg, you're next at Mayhem.

00:11:24Well, I wanna tell you right now,

00:11:26Goldberg will be more than ready to be next at Mayhem

00:11:30and only 20 days away, and Goldberg's arrived here at the United Center in Chicago.

00:11:35Stay where you are.

00:11:37Welcome back, and during the commercial break,

00:11:40you see the EMTs out to help Ross Foreman.

00:11:42No one athlete, non-athlete, deserves what Lex Luger just did

00:11:47to an innocent man like Ross Foreman.

00:11:50That's horrible.

00:11:51Let's go to Pamela.

00:11:53Kevin Nash, it looks like Sean Stasiak is officially out of the thrillers

00:11:58after what happened last week.

00:11:59I'd like to get your comments on that, as well as the interview on Thunder.

00:12:02Why would Goldberg be standing in just a cup?

00:12:06That sounds unusual.

00:12:09You know, the thing is, there's a lot of cliches in professional wrestling.

00:12:12One of them is that there's strength in numbers.

00:12:14Last week, we lost a member of the thrillers,

00:12:17and by his absence, we're actually a stronger group.

00:12:20You know, pick that up.

00:12:23You know, he goes on with this rant, this schizophrenic rant.

00:12:30He used to be a champion, and so on and so forth.

00:12:34You know, if anybody used to be a champion around here,

00:12:35how many times have you watched that Booker T-Nash match?

00:12:38In between the drinks, tons.

00:12:39Two-twenty, two-twenty-one, right?

00:12:41Whatever it took.

00:12:42Easy.

00:12:43I look at it this way.

00:12:44I mean, it was a split decision.

00:12:46I had the guy.

00:12:47I want Booker T tonight.

00:12:50Yeah.

00:12:50Come on.

00:12:51Title match.

00:12:51I want Booker T in a title match tonight.

00:12:53I can do that.

00:12:54Guys, guys, listen.

00:12:58I owe everybody here an apology.

00:12:59The things I said last week, I made a mistake.

00:13:02I was filled with the wrong advice.

00:13:04My head was just, I had everybody in my ears.

00:13:07Listen, I'm sorry, and I'm here tonight to prove that I am truly with this team.

00:13:11Don't take a hike.

00:13:12Tell your story walking, right?

00:13:14There's no sense to have Reno and I fight each other tonight.

00:13:17I want to prove it any other way, any way I can.

00:13:19Listen, I know you want Booker T for the World Heavyweight Championship.

00:13:23I know Sanders will come through for us.

00:13:25And to show that I'm in your corner, big man, I'll be there for you.

00:13:29Don't you touch, man.

00:13:31Don't you ever touch?

00:13:32Beat it.

00:13:33While Stasiak wants to make peace, and fans, this portion of Monday Night

00:13:37are brought to you by 1-800-COLLECT.

00:13:38It's the easy way to save.

00:13:41Well, we've got a challenge now from Kevin Nash for a title match against Booker T tonight.

00:13:47And Stasiak apparently has got a match against Reno that he does not want,

00:13:50but he wants to prove his worth, Scott, to the MVP.

00:13:53Well, obviously, Sean Stasiak, perfect Sean, if you will, has seen the era of his ways.

00:13:58He wants back in the thrillers in the worst way.

00:14:01Well, the thrillers shouldn't even waste their time with Sean Stasiak.

00:14:05On the other hand, if Booker T gives Kevin Nash a little time later on tonight on Nitro,

00:14:11we're going to have a new World Heavyweight Champion, Big Sexy.

00:14:15You saw Big Sexy with Goldberg's book.

00:14:17We'll be talking a lot about Goldberg's book called I'm Next, which comes out on November 14th.

00:14:24We'll be talking about it tonight.

00:14:25If I can be serious for a minute, please.

00:14:28With your presidential election right around the corner, I think it appropriate I give you some last-minute advice.

00:14:42Don't waste your time voting, because no matter who wins, you lose.

00:14:48Shut up.

00:14:49You're still going to be Americans.

00:14:52Shut him up.

00:14:52Don't listen to that nonsense from old Stoneface.

00:14:56He's got to play Stonebrook.

00:14:56If you want to improve your way of life, don't vote.

00:15:02Immigrate to Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

00:15:07All rise for the playing of the Canadian National Anthem.

00:15:10Well, I'm not standing up this time.

00:15:12Not after that diatribe.

00:15:14Absolutely.

00:15:15Hey, that signed advice.

00:15:16I went to Calgary.

00:15:17I'm happier than ever.

00:15:19Wow.

00:15:20I think Moby has recut O'Canada.

00:15:22Listen to that.

00:15:24Here comes Kweewee, along with Paisley.

00:15:29Is that a tiara?

00:15:30I believe that's his hair and glitter, Scott.

00:15:33Good night, it is.

00:15:36Kweewee has been an island unto himself.

00:15:37You come out here dressed like that.

00:15:39You better have someone other than her watching your back.

00:15:43Exactly good points, Lance.

00:15:45Kweewee has had to come out here week after week,

00:15:47whether it's against the thrillers,

00:15:49whether it's against Team Canada,

00:15:50he's had to fight all by himself.

00:15:52And you know why?

00:15:53Because no one wants to get that glitter all over them.

00:15:56Especially us.

00:15:59No, wait a minute.

00:16:00Wait a second.

00:16:01Duggan.

00:16:03As glitter goes everywhere,

00:16:04sends Kweewee into the ring.

00:16:06Fans, we have found out that

00:16:08WCW CEO Ric Flair

00:16:10will address the company

00:16:12in a few minutes here.

00:16:13He has a bombshell.

00:16:15More than one to drop on us.

00:16:17I wonder what that means.

00:16:18Speaking of bombshells,

00:16:19we've been joined by Paisley

00:16:20here at the broadcast position.

00:16:22Hello, guys.

00:16:23Hello, Paisley.

00:16:25I must say,

00:16:25you're looking almost as dazzling

00:16:27as the Kweewee.

00:16:28Thank you, Paisley.

00:16:29Wow.

00:16:30It's my night.

00:16:30Would have to be radioactive

00:16:32to look more dazzling than the Kweewee.

00:16:34Mark, you're not funny.

00:16:35How much glitter does this guy

00:16:36use anyway?

00:16:39Oh, whatever.

00:16:40I am not afraid of any Canadians.

00:16:42Get out of here.

00:16:43Good night.

00:16:43She stood up to all stone face.

00:16:46We're going to stand behind you, girl.

00:16:47Absolutely.

00:16:48That's right.

00:16:48You're not kidding.

00:16:50Well, we do have backup

00:16:52if need be.

00:16:54But you know,

00:16:54when Angry Allen comes out,

00:16:56that might not be necessary.

00:16:58Well, you need backup.

00:16:59You've got Hacksaw Jim Turncoat

00:17:01and Prime Time Elixir over here.

00:17:02We have backup.

00:17:03Don't you worry.

00:17:04Crossbody from the top.

00:17:06Kweewee gets a two count.

00:17:08You said when Angry Allen comes out,

00:17:10that's his other personality?

00:17:12That's his alter ego.

00:17:13Oh, look at that standing sidekick.

00:17:15Sends Kweewee down

00:17:16and we got a two count.

00:17:17You people act like

00:17:18it'll take more than one Canadian

00:17:20to be the wardrobe guy.

00:17:22Like it'll take more than Lance Storm

00:17:24to beat the Kweewee.

00:17:25Mark, you've seen it time and time again.

00:17:27They have to gang up on him

00:17:28just to win.

00:17:29Standing switch.

00:17:30Nicely done.

00:17:31And he used the middle run as a springboard.

00:17:32Into a sunset flip.

00:17:34And he only got a two

00:17:35but almost beat him.

00:17:36What agility displayed by Kweewee.

00:17:39I think he's getting angry.

00:17:41He's getting angry.

00:17:42My honey's fabulous.

00:17:43Look at that.

00:17:44Wow.

00:17:45You know, for just being,

00:17:46as you said, Mark,

00:17:46a wardrobe guy,

00:17:48showing his line of offense

00:17:49and he got a two again.

00:17:50This is a great Canadian champion.

00:17:52Yes, you're right.

00:17:53A man who was never beaten

00:17:54by Captain Rexion.

00:17:56Captain Rexion stole the Canadian title.

00:17:59Lance Storm is still the unclimed champion.

00:18:01Beaten by a great American

00:18:02and wanted to.

00:18:03No.

00:18:03And once again a near fall

00:18:05as Duggan tries to hold the fans down

00:18:07and they now start the 10 of USA.

00:18:09They're firmly behind Kweewee here.

00:18:12He's up on the top.

00:18:13Smart crowd.

00:18:14No.

00:18:15Wow.

00:18:15Mike Smooth.

00:18:16Storm into the Canadian.

00:18:18Maple Leaf.

00:18:19He's got it on

00:18:20and it's over.

00:18:20He tapped out.

00:18:21He tapped out.

00:18:22He tapped out.

00:18:23What's going on?

00:18:23He's not letting go.

00:18:24He got beat by one man.

00:18:26One man.

00:18:26The Canadian champion, Lance Storm.

00:18:29Come on.

00:18:29Come on, guys.

00:18:30Help him.

00:18:31Somebody needs to help him.

00:18:32Yeah, I'll go up in a minute.

00:18:33Oh, my God.

00:18:34All right.

00:18:34Where's your backup?

00:18:35All right.

00:18:35This is serious.

00:18:36Mayday.

00:18:37Mayday?

00:18:38Cold bad hair day.

00:18:40Bad hair day?

00:18:41Bad hair.

00:18:41I repeat.

00:18:42Cold bad hair day.

00:18:43Oh, my God.

00:18:44Talk about bad hair day.

00:18:47Ming is in the ring.

00:18:48Sans glitter.

00:18:49Oh, there goes Prata.

00:18:50We got back up in a big way, Tony.

00:18:53I guess you do.

00:18:55And he's almost as stylish as the Queewee.

00:18:57Man, Lionel Richie's back.

00:18:59And he's pissed.

00:19:01Cold bad hair day.

00:19:02Mark, I'm telling him you said that.

00:19:04Oh, my goodness.

00:19:05And look, Lance Storm wants nothing of Ming.

00:19:08We've seen it two weeks in a row.

00:19:09Goldberg, congratulations.

00:19:12Your streak still intact.

00:19:15And at WCW's next pay-for-view mayhem, the match has been signed between you and the total package Lex Luger.

00:19:22However, a fly in the ointment.

00:19:24Bam Bam Bigelow shows up last week.

00:19:26Makes it perfectly clear that he wants you.

00:19:29And tonight, he gets his wish.

00:19:31Bigelow, you know, I don't know who the hell he thinks he is.

00:19:35But the fact is, he is a hell of a talent.

00:19:37Why he's been sitting at home the last five months is absolutely beyond me.

00:19:41For him to come back and demand a match with me instantly, you know, that's a wish.

00:19:46As far as I'm concerned, it's a death wish.

00:19:49Okay?

00:19:50Now, he and I have been to hell and back many, many times.

00:19:54A lot of violent matches.

00:19:56If that's where he wants to go, I'll be sure as hell glad to take him there again.

00:20:00And you know what?

00:20:00As far as Luger's concerned, I've seen and I've heard just about enough of Luger's crap.

00:20:09Okay?

00:20:09He talks about being the total package.

00:20:12Talks about having the finest body around.

00:20:14He talks about having this title, that title.

00:20:17Throw it all away, Lex.

00:20:19Doesn't matter.

00:20:20Last time I checked, streak was still intact, right, Gene?

00:20:24It was, absolutely.

00:20:25What's going on, Goldberg?

00:20:26Maybe you've got to get one thing straight since I'm such an expert about my career.

00:20:31Maybe I better fill you in once again.

00:20:33Multi-time world champion, multi-time U.S. champion.

00:20:37Hey, three, one, get out of here.

00:20:40What's that?

00:20:42How about that, Goldberg?

00:20:44Who's next now, huh?

00:20:45Look at that pile of garbage.

00:20:49Who's next?

00:20:52Who's next now?

00:20:55Luger, both your asses are next.

00:20:57A set-up by the total package and Bam Bam Bigelow, who has Goldberg here tonight.

00:21:06And Luger, now only 20 days away, has Goldberg as well.

00:21:10Not in the best frame of mind for Bam Bam to go in the ring against tonight.

00:21:15No doubt about it.

00:21:15Goldberg's streak is intact.

00:21:17But foe after foe lines up, they're coming from all over the place.

00:21:21Luger was at home.

00:21:22Bigelow was at home.

00:21:23They came back to get Goldberg.

00:21:26Tony, who's going to come out of the woodwork next?

00:21:28Who will be next for Goldberg tonight?

00:21:30It's Bigelow.

00:21:30All right,

00:21:47the most controversial man in all of WCW.

00:21:49Last Monday, when he was pounded by Chronic, Coach Kevin said walk it off.

00:21:54Well, he walked it off all right.

00:21:55He walked out on his partner, Chuck Palumbo, and left him at the hands of Chronic.

00:22:02And here he comes out against Reno with a hardcore title.

00:22:05Another member of the Natural Born Thrillers.

00:22:08The champion's on his way to the ring.

00:22:10And he is sad now.

00:22:11Earlier here, Scott, has Stasiak.

00:22:13He wants to put all the problems behind him.

00:22:15Well, we heard Coach Kevin say it.

00:22:18He's not opening the door to Thriller Central wide open for the return of perfection Sean Stasiak.

00:22:24I don't think that door is ever...

00:22:26Hang on a minute.

00:22:27Where's Reno?

00:22:28He'll be at.

00:22:29That's his music.

00:22:30Look, it's his music, but where's the hardcore champion?

00:22:32Well, he's not the sharpest pole in the shed.

00:22:34He takes a couple more minutes to react to most people.

00:22:36Maybe he's going to come from under the ring or come from the fancy or something.

00:22:40They stopped the meet.

00:22:41Wait a minute.

00:22:42What's it?

00:22:43There you see the referee doesn't know what's going on.

00:22:45Stasiak.

00:22:46All right, here we go.

00:22:47All right, now.

00:22:48Whatever's got another production glitch.

00:22:51Reno!

00:22:54All right, the hardcore champion representing the natural foreign fillers.

00:22:59Under the tootlet.

00:23:01What is this?

00:23:02Hang on a minute.

00:23:03What's going on?

00:23:05We're looking at the backstage area now.

00:23:07That's Reno!

00:23:10Reno, the same condition that we saw Chuck Palumbo in last week.

00:23:16Trainer, trainer, come on!

00:23:17Wait a minute.

00:23:18Did Stasiak have something to do with this?

00:23:19That's exactly what we saw last week with Chuck Palumbo.

00:23:23Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match via forfeit, perfection, Sean Stasiak!

00:23:28Forfeit?

00:23:29What?

00:23:31Well, you know, Reno's the champion.

00:23:33The only way a title to switch hands is pinfall or submission.

00:23:35Hey, hey, Stasiak pulled something off here, but how?

00:23:38But Reno's still the champion, but a win is the win in the record books!

00:23:42You okay?

00:23:44I think I got hit from behind.

00:23:46Okay.

00:23:47How many of them was there?

00:23:48You know?

00:23:49I don't know.

00:23:49Stasiak?

00:23:50There had to be two of them.

00:23:52They hit pretty hard.

00:23:53You know, Kev?

00:23:55I'm no Columbo, but I am Chuck Palumbo.

00:23:57I would have to say.

00:23:59It's the head.

00:24:00That's true.

00:24:01Whoever did this, guys.

00:24:03No, no, no.

00:24:04No, no, no.

00:24:05Not that one.

00:24:06It's going to be S.O.L.

00:24:09You know what that means.

00:24:11Did Reno say he thought it was more than one?

00:24:20That's what it sounded like to me, but he may be delusional.

00:24:22He got cracked over the skull.

00:24:24It would almost have to be more than one to take out a guy as tough as Reno,

00:24:28the WCW Hardcore champ.

00:24:30Well, they're standing here in Chicago.

00:24:33Many cities around the world that Flair can say are his cities.

00:24:37And there's no question, Chicago is a Ric Flair town.

00:24:42Yeah, this is great.

00:24:43Here's the guy who cheated his whole career, and now he's going to make sure everybody else

00:24:48plays fair.

00:24:49Ladies and gentlemen, Bill Clinton.

00:24:50That is Ric Flair, the CEO and your boss, Mark Madden.

00:24:55I'll have you know a man who closed down Gibsons last night with the general, Bruce Wirtz McArthur,

00:25:02after the Blackhawks game.

00:25:03And here he is, styling and profiling in the United Center in Chi-town.

00:25:08I knew if they ran too many checks, they'd close that place not sooner or later.

00:25:15Remember, he has some blockbuster announcements to give us here tonight.

00:25:20What could they be?

00:25:22Could be anything.

00:25:26Is this the home of the Chicago Blackhawks?

00:25:31Woo!

00:25:32The Chicago Bulls?

00:25:35Woo!

00:25:35Well, I wish they were the home of the Nature Boy, because the Nature Boy, whoo, loves Chicago.

00:25:45Full stink, Blackhawks stink, who cares?

00:25:47They love the Nature Boy.

00:25:50And I love being back with WCW, especially, whoo, Bob Proberts scared to death of me, pal.

00:25:57Especially, as the CEO, which means this time, officially, I've got something to say about the way the company is being run.

00:26:08So Madden, you and Shivani, and Scott, get that across to the American public.

00:26:13Ric Flair is running WCW.

00:26:16You know daddy.

00:26:16What he said.

00:26:20Now last week, we sat in Atlanta, and we made some things official.

00:26:26Some things that this business needs to see up front.

00:26:29At NAMM, on November 26th, you're going to see, in my estimation, the greatest pay-per-view that we've put on in a long time.

00:26:39You are going to see Hugh Gerection versus Lance Storm for the last time for the U.S. title.

00:26:46There will be a winner.

00:26:47The last time?

00:26:48You like that?

00:26:49The last time?

00:26:50And Lex Luger, I got you back in the business.

00:26:54You're one of the biggest names, one of the greatest stars.

00:26:57But my man, as big as awesome as you are, you're going to have to wrestle Bill Goldberg at NAMM.

00:27:04Oh yeah, couple of ectomorphs.

00:27:06And man, I won't be there to see.

00:27:08That's going to be a great match.

00:27:10And now, something that means a lot to me personally, is the World Heavyweight Championship.

00:27:16It's at stake at NAMM.

00:27:18I feel like I know that title better than any wrestler alive.

00:27:2314 times.

00:27:24And the World Championship Wrestling version of the World Championship is the most prestigious trophy in our sport.

00:27:33The man that walks out of mayhem will be the flagship by which this company is built on for the future.

00:27:41Booker T or Scott Steiner, it makes no difference.

00:27:45It's going to be a great match.

00:27:46It's going to be in a cage.

00:27:48Cage?

00:27:49Whoa!

00:27:49Two guys are going to walk in the ring.

00:27:52One is going to walk out as the World Heavyweight Champion, the number one athlete in pro sports.

00:28:00Woo!

00:28:00And whoever that man is, as CEO, you will be our flagship, right along with Bill Goldberg and Sting and those of the past.

00:28:14Now, one thing I am going to talk about, because I want Scott Steiner to hear this first and up close.

00:28:20Scott Steiner, your conduct is unacceptable.

00:28:26Yeah!

00:28:27I respect you as a national amateur champion.

00:28:31I respect you as a great athlete.

00:28:34I respect you for the awesome figure of man you are.

00:28:37But your conduct will not be tolerated.

00:28:40You will not be grabbing people.

00:28:42You will not be hollering and screaming.

00:28:45You will not be hitting people with pipes.

00:28:47You will conduct yourself as a member of WCW.

00:28:51How about that?

00:28:52As opposed to like a horseman.

00:28:53Almost on cue.

00:28:58Yeah!

00:28:58It would not take Scott Steiner long to rebuke this.

00:29:04Along with the super freak Medesia, Scott Steiner.

00:29:08He doesn't have that much respect for Ric Flair.

00:29:11He's going to come out and confront the CEO.

00:29:14Nobody tells Big Papa Puff what to do.

00:29:16Only one thing can stop Scott Steiner, and that's a full frontal lobotomy.

00:29:21And Ric Flair don't have a scalpel right now, does he?

00:29:24Look at the size of Scott Steiner.

00:29:26We say it, we talk about it, but every time you look at it, you can't believe it.

00:29:32I'm sitting there in the back minding my own business,

00:29:35and I hear you don't like my attitude.

00:29:38Well, listen up, you old bastard.

00:29:41I never liked you.

00:29:43And I don't care if you're the CEO or the janitor.

00:29:47I don't take orders from nobody.

00:29:48You got that, you son of a bitch?

00:29:50Oh, Scott.

00:29:53This is bad.

00:29:54I mean, this is not Ric Flair, the wrestler.

00:29:56There's the gold-plated cavalry.

00:29:58The world champion is in the ring.

00:30:01Booker T in.

00:30:02Nailing Steiner.

00:30:04Here we go.

00:30:05Steiner dug it.

00:30:06Steiner dug it.

00:30:07Look at Steiner.

00:30:11Booker T just shot a big Papa Puff.

00:30:14Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:30:14He shot him up.

00:30:15Scott Steiner will strike when he wants to strike.

00:30:18Maybe he'll strike right now, but I know for sure, I know in my heart, he'll strike and strike

00:30:24big at mayhem.

00:30:27They're going to put these two animals in a cage at mayhem on pay-per-view.

00:30:31The 26th, finally, once and for all, we'll know who is the standard bearer in world championship wrestling.

00:30:38I want to tell you, Scott Steiner stepped way too far over the line here tonight.

00:30:46Grabbing Ric Flair.

00:30:47Now I know why I'm retired, man.

00:30:49Let me just reiterate what I just said to the wrestling world and to Scott Steiner.

00:31:01This is a professionally run company.

00:31:05We'll conduct ourselves like professionals and we will take a step forward after mayhem.

00:31:11But because of what just happened, it's exactly what I'm talking about, Steiner.

00:31:16At mayhem, in the cage, I'm going to put a straight jacket 12 feet over the ring.

00:31:24Straight jacket?

00:31:25And the first man in that match, Booker, you are Steiner, that gets that straight jacket

00:31:31off that rope.

00:31:32You can put it on your opponent and you can beat the hell out of him.

00:31:36Whoa!

00:31:37Rules don't change.

00:31:39You win by pinfall.

00:31:41You win by submission.

00:31:43But if you or Steiner get that straight jacket, you can put it on the other one.

00:31:49I know what that means, I'm putting you in a tough spot.

00:31:52But Steiner, get this straight too.

00:31:55If you touch me or any other non-wrestling employee again, you not only won't make it

00:32:03to mayhem, you won't be working for WCW.

00:32:07Oh, yeah!

00:32:08How about that one?

00:32:09You tell him, Nature Boy, he'll make it to mayhem.

00:32:12He'll make it to mayhem.

00:32:13And in that straight jacket match, inside the asylum, as it were, well, inside the

00:32:18asylum, the insane have the advantage.

00:32:21He won't make it to thunder with those kind of restrictions.

00:32:24The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, has laid down the law to Scott Steiner.

00:32:28It's about damn time.

00:32:34Uh-oh.

00:32:36Who is the smartest man in professional wrestling and why am I?

00:32:39You know, I stood right out here on Nitro last week, and I told the whole world that

00:32:44if there's any radio DJs that would like to step in the ring with me in the mouth of

00:32:47the South, hey, just send a fax to WCW.

00:32:50Well, dig this, man.

00:32:51John Boy and Billy, Carolinas.

00:32:53Rick Dees, L.A.

00:32:55Howard Stern, New York.

00:32:57Casey Kasin.

00:32:58Is he still alive?

00:32:59But just remember, guys, one thing.

00:33:02Why don't you check with Jimmy Barron in Atlanta, Georgia?

00:33:04Ask him what I did to him when he stepped in the ring with me.

00:33:06What about Bubba the Love Sponge, Tampa, Florida, 98 Rock?

00:33:10And what about Mr. Number One, right here in Chicago, Man Cow?

00:33:15Syndicated, he's on the Fox Network, he's...

00:33:17Man Cow, I was just telling everybody that you're number one, and you're the greatest

00:33:20DJ of all time, man.

00:33:21Yeah, all right.

00:33:22So here I am, I'm interviewing Goldberg, as I always do.

00:33:25I'm about ready to go out to my seats.

00:33:26One little camera guy says, Man Cow, Jimmy Hart, the mouth of the South, is talking smack

00:33:31again, all right?

00:33:32Let me tell you something.

00:33:32Um, this is the Lion's Den, right here, and people are choosing up sides here tonight.

00:33:37You come into my city, and you want to talk some crap about me?

00:33:39I swear I didn't.

00:33:40Jimmy, why don't you tell the people of America, honestly, about your leg brace?

00:33:42He's worn a leg brace since I kicked his ass last time.

00:33:44Listen, Man Cow, let me tell you something.

00:33:46You've got this all wrong.

00:33:46I just told everybody that you were the number one DJ in the whole world.

00:33:48This is a tired old man, like an Open Anthony, a Jeff and Jer, a Howard Stern, all these

00:33:53other asses, because I'm the new guy that they've got to come in, and you've got to

00:33:56try to take a little bit of my light, a little bit of my sunshine, a little bit

00:33:58of the love.

00:33:59We can sell it right here, Jimmy.

00:34:00Sell it right here.

00:34:02Get him, get him, get him, get him, get him.

00:34:06Man Cow, you don't do this to me, boys.

00:34:08You don't do this to me.

00:34:09You don't hit me.

00:34:10I am Jimmy Hart, the greatest manager in wrestling.

00:34:13You understand that?

00:34:14What night?

00:34:15Oh, Jimmy.

00:34:16No, Jimmy.

00:34:17No, come on, Jimmy.

00:34:18Come on, Jimmy.

00:34:19He's just a DJ.

00:34:21Come on, Jimmy.

00:34:22Come on, Jimmy.

00:34:25Do I have to read this?

00:34:26It was paid for by Jimmy Hart.

00:34:28Can you believe what we've just seen?

00:34:29That was a waste of money for Jimmy.

00:34:31Good night.

00:34:31Members of 3Count coming to the aid of Jimmy Hart and obliterating Man Cow.

00:34:39The only two remaining members of 3Count from what it looks like, Shannon Moore and

00:34:43Shane Helms.

00:34:45No disrespect to Evan Courageous.

00:34:47But I think now as a duo, this is a tag team that's going to be on the rise in WCW, Tony.

00:34:52Last Wednesday, it all fell apart.

00:34:54The 3Count, Evan Courageous.

00:34:56We're in the middle of a B-roll here, guys.

00:34:58Stop talking.

00:34:59Here it is.

00:35:00Evan Courageous doing a little showboating.

00:35:02And Shannon and Shane and a little bit too much of Evan.

00:35:05And thus, 3Count is no more.

00:35:07Ladies and gentlemen, the new and improved 3Count.

00:35:142Count.

00:35:152Count.

00:35:16And we're here to perform as only we can.

00:35:20Now, Shannon, why don't you tell these people how our backs are feeling lately?

00:35:27Shane, our backs are feeling better than ever.

00:35:31And why do our backs feel so good?

00:35:33Because we don't have to carry Evan no more.

00:35:36Uh-oh.

00:35:36Exactly.

00:35:37Bring out the dragons.

00:35:39Bring out the bells.

00:35:40Let's get it started.

00:35:42Good night.

00:35:433Count with a lot more confidence than we've seen.

00:35:46Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

00:35:48Leia Meow bringing out what's left of the Young Dragons.

00:35:54Leia Meow, look at Leia, would you please?

00:35:57Yes.

00:35:59As she comes out with the remaining members of the Young Dragons.

00:36:03Guys, I'll be right back.

00:36:04I'm going to go give Leia a wedgie.

00:36:06Somebody already did.

00:36:07Oh, here we go.

00:36:09Dragons in 3Count.

00:36:11Almost like we've come to know and love it.

00:36:13Over the top for the Dragons.

00:36:14It's a three-way dance for the World Tag Team Championship.

00:36:17And they could lose the belt to Jim Dragon O'Hare before they ever get to the ring.

00:36:21And now here come the World Tag Team Champions.

00:36:23They won't.

00:36:24They're two of the best ever like Ray Stephens and Pat Patterson.

00:36:27Ray Stephens and Jimmy Snuka.

00:36:28Pat Patterson and Judy Garland.

00:36:30Jimmy Valiant, Manny Fernandez.

00:36:32They're some of the greatest champions ever.

00:36:35Jim Drack and O'Hare are.

00:36:36Jim Drack and O'Hare just dropped the belts on the stage on their way in.

00:36:39These guys are serious.

00:36:40They saw what you saw, Tony.

00:36:42They saw two teams already starting to go before they got in the ring.

00:36:46Oh!

00:36:47Great move by the big man Jim Drack.

00:36:49And fans, we'll let you know it's a brand new time for Thunder Eats and every Wednesday.

00:36:53It starts now at 9 o'clock straight up Eastern Time on TBS beginning this coming Wednesday.

00:37:00See our sister network TBS and our sister program Thunder each and every week at 9 o'clock.

00:37:06As the World Tag Team Champions pose a little bit, we did get some more information from the CEO, Nature Boy, Ric Flair.

00:37:14Look at this, looking off the top of the time.

00:37:17Yang sending down Big Shot O'Hare.

00:37:19Here's a cover on either end and members of the three count make the save.

00:37:25What kind of mother names her son Yang?

00:37:27I can't answer that, but what I can tell you, that Ric Flair has further warned Scott Steiner

00:37:33that not only can he not put his hands on any non-wrestling personnel,

00:37:38that he can't put his hands on anyone, he's not wrestling, including other wrestlers.

00:37:43And that law has been laid down to Scott Steiner.

00:37:45Plus, Ric Flair has found someone else to reinstate.

00:37:49There will be a more positive and upstanding addition to the locker room.

00:37:52And that person we understand will be out here tonight.

00:37:56Whoa, who is it?

00:37:56I bet it's Nick Bockwinkle.

00:37:58It is not Nick Bockwinkle, but who is it going to be?

00:38:00He's going to reinstate someone to have a more, a better attitude, bring it back.

00:38:06Whoever it's going to be is going to come out here tonight on this program.

00:38:10Well, you're going to like what Ric Flair is doing, but take a look at this.

00:38:14We're seeing three Counting the Dragons actually trying to work together here.

00:38:18Well, they have to to try to get Jim Draken O'Hare to the greatest tag team wrestlers ever,

00:38:22but they might do it.

00:38:23It's 412.

00:38:24I don't like that at all.

00:38:25Jim Draken O'Hare overpowered them.

00:38:28You can't replace power, and they're back in control.

00:38:31Not at all.

00:38:32You're exactly right.

00:38:33Power that time overcame all, and Yang will misdirection into the eyes.

00:38:38Look at that.

00:38:39And now, three Count, Young Dragons sending the World Tag Team Champions out.

00:38:43Well, that's what they've got to do to be, oh, wait a minute, up top, spin out.

00:38:47Good 10, one, two, and they go.

00:38:49Oh, Jim Draken O'Hare almost lost the title, not even being in the ring.

00:38:53Oh, and it could happen, but they've been wiped out on the outside.

00:38:57So you're saying Flair's bringing somebody back.

00:38:59Oh, here's a rope pull.

00:39:01Crossbow.

00:39:02No.

00:39:03He's nothing more for the fans on the outside, and now Cass meets the cold steel of the safety rail.

00:39:10You know what that is?

00:39:11That is Coach Kevin Nash coming out of the World Tag Team Champions.

00:39:15The viciousness, the power out of nowhere.

00:39:17So you're saying Flair's brought somebody back to WCW that has a good attitude.

00:39:22Exactly right, and look.

00:39:23Oh, the Super Beal.

00:39:25The Super Beal, somebody with a good attitude, huh?

00:39:28Flair's bringing it back.

00:39:29Well, there's always room for one.

00:39:31Good move by Sugar Shane that time, and Shannon Moore with a baseball slide kick on the outside,

00:39:36and now he goes to the top.

00:39:38Moonshot.

00:39:40He did connect on the way down, only a glancing blow, and now on the inside.

00:39:44Oh, Shane Helms.

00:39:47I don't even know what he calls that.

00:39:49A cover.

00:39:50Lateral press.

00:39:52No.

00:39:52Wait a minute.

00:39:54That's Evan Courageous.

00:39:56The former three-count member, the former lead singer, the David Lee Roth of three-count.

00:40:02Oh, the shot time.

00:40:03He got him on the back.

00:40:07Count it, count it.

00:40:08Cover.

00:40:09Two, three.

00:40:11He's trying to toss the match for three-count.

00:40:13He ended up tossing the match for the young dragons.

00:40:16And Kaz Hayashi knows it.

00:40:18And dragons are not happy.

00:40:19I thought it was going to be three-count tonight, but I underestimate for some foolish reasons

00:40:24Jindrak and O'Hare.

00:40:25That's those Battle Dome guys out there.

00:40:28What are they doing?

00:40:29They're in ringside.

00:40:30Where did they come from?

00:40:32Meanwhile, look, it's four-on-one in the ring.

00:40:35Evan is getting pounded.

00:40:36The remaining young dragons, the remaining members of three-count, hammering the former

00:40:42lead singer, Evan Courageous.

00:40:44What do we got?

00:40:44Who is this?

00:40:45God dang!

00:40:46Who is that?

00:40:47That's Jamie.

00:40:48Is that Jamie's son?

00:40:49That's got to be Jamie.

00:40:50That is.

00:40:51That's Jamie's son.

00:40:52He was unmasked last week on Thunder by Leia Meow.

00:40:56Oh, wait a minute.

00:40:56Wait a minute.

00:40:57No.

00:40:58What's going on?

00:40:58It's going to hit Evan Courageous.

00:41:03I don't know.

00:41:04Wait a minute.

00:41:06Limousine in the back.

00:41:09What could this?

00:41:09And it's smooth.

00:41:11Come on.

00:41:12Not yet.

00:41:13Not yet.

00:41:15That's got to be Flair's reinstatement.

00:41:19Who has Ric Flair brought back to World Championship Wrestling?

00:41:24It's time for the 1-800-Collect-Replay, the easy way to save.

00:41:27And, yes, it is Jamie's son, who was the masked man, who was unmasked last week on Thunder.

00:41:34He came in.

00:41:34He nailed members of the Young Dragons.

00:41:37Came to the aid of Evan Courageous.

00:41:39But then had a little drawing session with Evan Courageous.

00:41:42I'm not sure whose side he's on.

00:41:45Whoa!

00:41:46Could this be?

00:41:48Good God.

00:41:49Forget the replay.

00:41:50He's back.

00:41:52Oh, Ric Flair.

00:41:54Thank you very much.

00:41:55I'm positive that's Diamond Dallas Page.

00:42:00I can't believe it.

00:42:02Luger returns.

00:42:03Bagwell returns.

00:42:04And now DDP is back.

00:42:07He is back with a bang.

00:42:10And they're standing everywhere.

00:42:12Is he in the limo?

00:42:13Is he in the limo, Tony?

00:42:14It had to be him.

00:42:15He must have like a mysterious benefactor or something.

00:42:18The crowd is going nuts.

00:42:20Here at the United Center, DDP is back.

00:42:22Ric Flair's dead, a man who will have a positive influence on the locker room.

00:42:27What's up?

00:42:29Look at him.

00:42:30He's never looked better.

00:42:32I'm actually glad to see him.

00:42:35A little.

00:42:36And so are the fans.

00:42:38Listen to the chat of DDP echoing through the United Center.

00:42:42You know, I tried to get out, but they pulled me back in.

00:42:56And the way I see it, they're going to pull me back in.

00:42:59I'm going to have as much fun as possible.

00:43:03He's never looked for that.

00:43:06But that all started in my head.

00:43:08I came to that conclusion over a month ago in Amarillo, Texas.

00:43:12Now, this is shoot.

00:43:13For real.

00:43:14Over a month ago, I was in Amarillo, Texas.

00:43:17And I had, it was a non-televised match for the heavyweight championship of the world with Booker T.

00:43:25Now, when I got there, I should have been jacked up.

00:43:29But I wasn't.

00:43:31Positively, Paige was one negative SOB.

00:43:35Maybe, maybe it was because of all the crap that's going on in this company over the last year or so.

00:43:43Whatever.

00:43:45The bottom line is, before I walked through that curtain, I was really, really bad.

00:43:51But the minute I walked through that curtain, I heard a pop from the crowd that nearly blew the roof off,

00:43:58just like it did right here in Chicago, Illinois.

00:44:02Boy, they did that, and they erupt again.

00:44:06What a moment this is.

00:44:07It really is great to have DDP here.

00:44:09Okay, cheap pop, but it's a shoot.

00:44:11Right there, this is for real.

00:44:13I had a moment, a moment of clarity.

00:44:16I walked through that curtain, I walked down the ramp, and I looked around, and I said,

00:44:20what the hell am I so negative about?

00:44:23I got a job.

00:44:24Why don't you suck?

00:44:31I've always wanted to do that.

00:44:32I told you I'm going to have fun.

00:44:34I said, I said, I got a job I love more than anything, and I get paid for doing it.

00:44:40Man, I'm out of my mind.

00:44:42I may not be the youngest buck here, but I sure got the biggest heart.

00:44:47Boy, you're not kidding about that.

00:44:49So now, I'm thinking to myself, as I'm on my way to the ring, I'm living the American dream.

00:44:55I'm going to have one hell of a time.

00:44:58Now, a few weeks go by, and I get a call from the nature boy, Ric Flair.

00:45:04Did he say the American dream, daddy?

00:45:06The nature boy.

00:45:07He gets on the phone.

00:45:07He picks up the phone.

00:45:08He goes, DDP.

00:45:09I said, Nate, what's up?

00:45:11He goes, DDP, I'm back in charge.

00:45:13I'm the man.

00:45:14I'm telling you, I need you.

00:45:15I want you back.

00:45:16I want you back in WCW.

00:45:17I want the hardest working three times, three times.

00:45:21Three times.

00:45:22Oh, yeah.

00:45:23Heavyweight champion back in WCW.

00:45:26I want the man who can make the people feel the day.

00:45:31I don't think Flair said exactly that.

00:45:33I swear to God, he said it just like that.

00:45:35I think it did.

00:45:36Okay, he didn't say it just like that.

00:45:38But I told him, I said, Nate, I'm coming to Chicago, Illinois.

00:45:44Cheap pop.

00:45:47Second time.

00:45:48Take them when you can get them.

00:45:49And I'm going to give you my answer and to all the people across the country.

00:45:56You want DDP back?

00:45:58Well, Nate, you can bet your ass.

00:46:08I'm back and I'm jacked.

00:46:13Diamond Dallas Page is back and he's jacked.

00:46:15And they're loving every minute, every second of this, here at the United Center.

00:46:22Oh, man.

00:46:23Here we go.

00:46:24When we saw him earlier, the Battle Dome Warriors.

00:46:29Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

00:46:29Kill that music, kill that music.

00:46:32Where do we get these jacked out monkeys from?

00:46:35These what?

00:46:36Wait a minute, that's...

00:46:38I see we got the Battle Dome boys in the house.

00:46:42It's D-O-A.

00:46:43Trying to make a name for yourselves.

00:46:45Trying to get yourself on a highly rated show, I guess.

00:46:49Got front row tickets.

00:46:51Bubba King, the one that runs his mouth.

00:46:52Well, if you're trying to impress somebody,

00:46:54I got some other guys who would like you to be impressed with, too.

00:46:57Let's get some of my brothers out here.

00:46:59Man, the Battle Dome guys.

00:47:00I got some boys who will help me do this right with you right now.

00:47:02You want to get it on?

00:47:03I haven't been this excited.

00:47:04Let's bring out the buff, the stuff.

00:47:07Yeah.

00:47:08Let's bring out the cap.

00:47:10He's calling out.

00:47:11But let's bring out the gold.

00:47:14Look at this.

00:47:14Wow.

00:47:15The cap and the gold face, Gremlin.

00:47:18Rex Steiner is back.

00:47:22You ain't got nothing.

00:47:23It's the Beverly Hills.

00:47:24These monkeys are running his mouth on their show, not Battle Dome.

00:47:28So now it's time to pay up, right?

00:47:30We started to show up.

00:47:32Make a little bit of noise out there.

00:47:36Michael O'Dell, former Mr. Universe from Battle Dome.

00:47:39He is a warrior.

00:47:40Make no mistake about it.

00:47:41Team Money right there in the contract.

00:47:43Wait a minute.

00:47:44Now, let me tell you bunch of low-budget karate stars something.

00:47:50Low budget?

00:47:51I want to tell you something to make your ass cross that rail,

00:47:55and I'll beat the hell out of all five of you chumps.

00:47:59Is that a challenge?

00:48:00Well, they're going to come over the rail.

00:48:02Security.

00:48:04Well, the kid wants him over the rail.

00:48:07You know, Dallas, you made a little mistake when you said the Battle Dome boys were here.

00:48:12To me, it looks like a bunch of Battle Dome queers.

00:48:15What?

00:48:16What?

00:48:17What?

00:48:17Bumps a TV critic.

00:48:21Who?

00:48:22Who?

00:48:22Who let the dog on, Scott?

00:48:26Like the saying, y'all, you want some?

00:48:29Go get some.

00:48:31T-Money, I don't know, you don't worry.

00:48:33Oh, God, here we go.

00:48:34They're coming.

00:48:35No, no.

00:48:37They are coming to Koot is there to try to hold him back.

00:48:40God, T-Money is after Rick Steiner.

00:48:43Come on, Doc.

00:48:43Face, come on, Cat.

00:48:45Make these guys famous.

00:48:46Make these guys famous.

00:48:48They come into our world.

00:48:50Show them the way out of our world.

00:48:52He's breaking down by the gun to the ring.

00:48:54Good God, there's O'Dell.

00:48:55He's on the, O'Dell's on the podcast table, T-Money.

00:49:01God, Bubba King actually got in the ring.

00:49:02He rolled into the room.

00:49:03WCW won, Battle Dome queers nothing.

00:49:07Oh, man, come on, Bump, let it lay.

00:49:09I wanna tell you, the bad blood that developed on Battle Dome between WCW and

00:49:15the Battle Dome Warriors have exploded here tonight.

00:49:18Well, Battle Dome Warriors had had enough from the WCW superstars.

00:49:26This was uncontrollable just a few minutes ago.

00:49:29You see that Bubba got in the ring, but security got in between he and Rick Steiner.

00:49:35And there is T-Money.

00:49:37T-Money, Bubba King, Michael O'Dell, DOA, Kuta, all the Battle Dome Warriors,

00:49:42they were going nice.

00:49:44He tried to get back into the thrillers earlier on, but after what happened to Reno,

00:49:47who could believe you weren't involved?

00:49:49Pam, are you accusing me of something?

00:49:52Don't answer.

00:49:53I had absolutely nothing to do with Reno's attack tonight,

00:49:57nor did I have anything to do with Mr. Palumbo's attack last week.

00:50:00Oh, yeah, note to self, reminding myself to get a good lawyer when I'm asking stupid questions

00:50:05like the one you just asked me.

00:50:07Don't even answer.

00:50:09We're on live national television.

00:50:11I'm a man of my word, and I'm gonna admit that I was wrong.

00:50:15I said things I never should have said last week about the thrillers.

00:50:17In this business, sometimes, Pam, you get filled.

00:50:20Your ears get filled with the wrong advice,

00:50:21and that's exactly what happened to me last week.

00:50:24Tonight, it starts over.

00:50:25I'm proving that I am a man of my word,

00:50:27especially not to just the world that's watching,

00:50:30but the rest of the thrillers,

00:50:31and especially Coach Nash,

00:50:33that I am a thriller at heart,

00:50:35and together we will be the strongest team dominating here in WCW.

00:50:40So, Stasiak claims that he was not the man who attacked Reno.

00:50:44He had nothing to do with it,

00:50:46and he still wants to be a member of the natural-born thrillers.

00:50:50That's a little hard to believe.

00:50:51He had nothing to do with the attack on Reno.

00:50:53He had nothing to do with the attack last week on Chuck Palumbo.

00:50:57And again, there's no evidence,

00:50:59nothing pointing directly at Stasiak.

00:51:01I don't know what to think, Tony.

00:51:02Well, I'm agreeing with you, Mark.

00:51:04This isn't the first time Sean Stasiak has caused Palumbo's backstage.

00:51:08We all know what that means.

00:51:10Next week, WCW Monday Nitro comes to you from London.

00:51:15That's right, we're going to be at the London Arena in London, England

00:51:18for two hours of WCW Monday Nitro,

00:51:21and then Thunder, a week from Wednesday,

00:51:24will be in Manchester, England.

00:51:26The Manchester Evening News Arena.

00:51:28We're going to catch Nitro and Thunder from Great Britain in one week.

00:51:35As Jeff Jarrett comes in, and we are going to have now,

00:51:40the man who made chocolates, a household word, here to the ring.

00:51:46Earlier, we had seen some problems exist in the backstage area

00:51:52when Sting came into the arena,

00:51:55and we got a tag team match based on what we saw early on.

00:52:00It was made by Coach Kevin Nash and Mike Sanders.

00:52:04And remember, I think it was Kevin Nash that actually said,

00:52:07you ought to put Jeff Jarrett into the mix here.

00:52:10But the heat is between Scott Steiner, Sting, and Scott Bagwell.

00:52:13The heat is between Scott Steiner and everybody.

00:52:17Good point.

00:52:17Look into this man's eyes sometime.

00:52:19There's nothing behind them.

00:52:22He has totally, to use a technical term,

00:52:24ripped his lid.

00:52:26His trolley's gone off the rails.

00:52:28Anybody in his way is the enemy that matters most to him.

00:52:32But at mayhem, oh, at mayhem,

00:52:35Booker T and the world title are in the way.

00:52:37A straitjacket match inside a cage.

00:52:39I can barely contain myself.

00:52:42Oh, I do love it so.

00:52:44I wonder.

00:52:46Now, remember, it's a cage heat match,

00:52:49and the straitjacket will be above the cage after the match.

00:52:53If you want to use it to tie your opponent to be senseless,

00:52:56you can use it.

00:52:57But I wonder exactly what type of mindset Scott Steiner's going to have

00:53:02in this match.

00:53:03First time he's been in the ring since Ric Flair laid down the law to him.

00:53:07He warned him about getting involved with non-wrestling personnel.

00:53:12With Manny would not compete against Scott Steiner.

00:53:17It's his job on the line here if he gets out of line.

00:53:21Scott Steiner's nuts, but he ain't done.

00:53:23He'll control himself just enough.

00:53:26He won't touch anybody he's not involved in a match with.

00:53:29He'll focus his story where it belongs on his opponent.

00:53:32Then, by mayhem, he'll be ready to explode.

00:53:36Oh, the lightning strikes all over Booker.

00:53:39And the thunder rolls.

00:53:41We're going to be paid a visit by the man from the dark side.

00:53:44Sting is in the windy setting.

00:53:48A sitting in a venue.

00:53:51He's prospered in so many times.

00:53:53Sting takes the long walk, as he has so many times.

00:53:57Walking into the United Center earlier today.

00:54:00Confronted by Medeja, attacked by the maniac, Scott Steiner.

00:54:07And he and Buff Bagwell, what a team together.

00:54:11And what a tag team, man, we got for you here on Monday Nitro.

00:54:15You know, it's not often you feel sorry for the heavyweight champion in the world.

00:54:19But I feel sorry for Booker T.

00:54:20I feel sorry in advance about what's going to happen to Booker T when Scott Steiner's

00:54:25story is totally unleashed at the mayhem pay-per-view.

00:54:29Admit it, you guys feel kind of bad, too.

00:54:31Absolutely not.

00:54:32You're wrong, but I want to tell you, take a look at these four mega superstars of WCW

00:54:38in the ring at one time for this tag team battle.

00:54:42Let's not forget Goldberg tonight.

00:54:43Going up against Ban-Ban Bigelow, and Kevin Nash has led a challenge for Booker T for

00:54:49the WCW title on this program.

00:54:52Remaining bell sounds, and here we go, guys.

00:54:56I don't remember the last time I've seen this much talent in one ring at one time.

00:55:01Boy, I'm glad I don't have to pay these guys.

00:55:03They're high priced, but they earn every penny.

00:55:05These are four of the very best in WCW.

00:55:08Oh, wait a second.

00:55:08Just outside the ring, Scott Steiner, as always, jawing with the fan, but what he better

00:55:15do is control himself.

00:55:17He could be one word away from losing his job.

00:55:20I think Ric Flair wouldn't mind if Scottie actually killed a fan or two.

00:55:23Oh, come on.

00:55:24Madden, that's insane.

00:55:25That is out of line, Mark.

00:55:27Don't ever say anything like that again.

00:55:28For what?

00:55:31Or we'll tell Steiner he can touch you.

00:55:33Very good.

00:55:34Into the side of the head and the chest.

00:55:36He's my buddy.

00:55:36It's Jeff Jarrett starting out against Buff Bagwell.

00:55:41Buff Bagwell, who was the victim of a horrible sneak attack by the Total Package, swinging

00:55:46neck breaker, and Halloween Havoc after he defeated David Flair Tag, and the Stinger rolls

00:55:53in, and he comes with a hit of steam.

00:55:56Stinger's glass in the corner, but no.

00:55:59Steiner cut him off.

00:56:01There's the timing that made Scott Steiner one of the greatest tag team wrestlers ever.

00:56:04He saved his partner, Jeff Jarrett.

00:56:06Now he's taking a look at it on his behalf.

00:56:08How unselfish is Scott Steiner, but Sting's on fire right now.

00:56:12Oh, boy.

00:56:12How about that?

00:56:13From one man to the other.

00:56:15As Jarrett came in.

00:56:16Sting sitting down to your right.

00:56:18Sting is fired up.

00:56:19He sent him into Scott Steiner.

00:56:21Does Jarrett?

00:56:21Hey, Scott Steiner with a belly to belly.

00:56:23Somebody say something about getting fired up in Chicago.

00:56:28Scott Steiner planted Sting.

00:56:29I don't think anybody said anything about getting fired up in Chicago.

00:56:32Scott Steiner is on fire, though.

00:56:35Oh, boy.

00:56:35Down goes the Stinger.

00:56:36Look at those arms.

00:56:39That bicep and a cover and a two-cattle.

00:56:42That was a pretty good catch.

00:56:42He's putting his hands on the ref.

00:56:44Flair.

00:56:44Is Flair watching this backstage?

00:56:46No big deal.

00:56:47He just kind of grazed him, caressed him, if you will.

00:56:49Caressed?

00:56:51Scott Steiner.

00:56:52Just a hair's breadth away from being unemployed thanks to Ric Flair.

00:56:57He's a hair's breadth away from being the next world champion at Mayhem.

00:57:00Oh, it's going to be great.

00:57:01Look at him.

00:57:02Look at him.

00:57:02He's nuts.

00:57:03He's insane.

00:57:04There's your next world champ.

00:57:07We don't exactly know what is in the head of Ric Flair.

00:57:10We know what he said.

00:57:12But, Tony, he has made a career of surprising us.

00:57:15Ric Flair can say one thing and do another.

00:57:17And what Scott Steiner will be very well aware of is that what Ric Flair says may not exactly be what he means.

00:57:24I think what we're seeing here is Steiner maybe trying to test, trying to see how much he can push the CEO Ric Flair by running his mouth to the fans.

00:57:32Look at that.

00:57:33He nailed Sting.

00:57:35Sting drops down into camera frame.

00:57:38And now the tag is made.

00:57:39And here comes Steiner again.

00:57:42Are we seeing the next WCW world champion, Scott Steiner?

00:57:48Yes.

00:57:49That is the question that's going to be answered in a mere 20 days at Mayhem.

00:57:53Anyone throw a suplex like that, Tony?

00:57:55One, two.

00:57:57Sting got the right shoulder up.

00:57:58No, no one does.

00:58:01We're going to be not too far from here.

00:58:02A two count in Milwaukee once again.

00:58:05Watch it.

00:58:06Steiner.

00:58:06Again, Steiner.

00:58:07Oh, and he knows it.

00:58:09He knows it.

00:58:09He was helping him up.

00:58:10He was helping him up.

00:58:11He was not.

00:58:11He was helping him up.

00:58:13What monitor are you watching?

00:58:15He went right after Slick Johnson once again.

00:58:19The heel monitor.

00:58:19The surfboard on to Stinger.

00:58:23Bump Bagwell going crazy in the corner.

00:58:25He wants it.

00:58:26He wants a piece of Big Papa.

00:58:28You know he shouldn't be lost in the shuffle here.

00:58:29Scott Steiner right now is in total control of Sting.

00:58:33Yeah, but what would happen to Steiner mentally, let's say, if he loses this tag team match?

00:58:38What would that do to his psyche?

00:58:39What would that do to his temper?

00:58:41Sting firing back on Steiner.

00:58:43And Steiner with a mule kick.

00:58:45Stop Sting's progress as Sting doubles over.

00:58:48And then gets sent down.

00:58:50If he lost, big deal.

00:58:52Nothing a little electroshock therapy couldn't take care of him.

00:58:54Oh, wait a minute.

00:58:55Yeah, I wonder.

00:58:56It's no big deal.

00:58:57Petroleum jelly in the temple.

00:58:58Zap, you're as good as new.

00:58:59Bump Bagwell usually very jovial, very lighthearted.

00:59:02Right now is a very angry man about what's going on.

00:59:05The Sting jumps over the top.

00:59:08Jarrett trying to hold on.

00:59:09Oh, yeah.

00:59:10And Bump in for the right hand.

00:59:11Make that cap one, two.

00:59:13And he almost beat him.

00:59:14Bump Bagwell has wound up like an eight-day clock in the corner.

00:59:17Scott Steiner spit on him.

00:59:18He came in.

00:59:19Bump Bagwell is ready to go.

00:59:21Sting needs to make the tag.

00:59:23Speaking of the mind games and speaking about things that have happened over the past few months.

00:59:28As Jarrett goes on the outside and no Sting.

00:59:31And Jarrett, there's an issue that's burning.

00:59:34Jarrett claimed that Sting has no heart.

00:59:36Claim that Sting is not the man he used to be.

00:59:38Sting has done it many, many times.

00:59:41And Jarrett's wrong.

00:59:42And he puts Scott Steiner face first with a DDT down.

00:59:46I've got to admit, Sting has shown he has plenty of heart.

00:59:48I've got to admit.

00:59:50Of course, I think Scott Steiner may eat it before this match is over.

00:59:53Sting is going to make the tag.

00:59:54And on the other end, Jarrett's in a touchdown.

00:59:59And look at Buff Bagwell go.

01:00:01Right hand, right arm for Larry.

01:00:03And outside goes Jeff Jeff.

01:00:05Oh, Scott Steiner, though, with one blow, stopped the momentum of Buff Bagwell.

01:00:12Battles raging on the floor, but we are in the ring.

01:00:14Buff into the gut with the knee.

01:00:18Droving down.

01:00:19Makes the cover.

01:00:20One, two, no.

01:00:21Oh, boy.

01:00:22Too much power for Buff to hold down.

01:00:25And he wants to put the blockbuster on.

01:00:27I've been pressed by Buff so far.

01:00:28Big match for Buff.

01:00:29Wait a minute.

01:00:31Buff on top.

01:00:33Got it.

01:00:35Wait a minute, Jarrett.

01:00:36Jarrett, Jarrett.

01:00:38That is the perfect counter move for the blockbuster.

01:00:41Oh, you're not kidding to this.

01:00:42Sting catches Jarrett.

01:00:44The guitar is everywhere.

01:00:46And Buff is down.

01:00:48How could the referee let this thing go on like this?

01:00:51What is...

01:00:52Oh, yeah.

01:00:53What a tragedy.

01:00:55Yank him and crank him.

01:00:56Big pop-up.

01:00:57Buff is out from the guitar.

01:00:59Oh, this is a joke.

01:01:01Bagwell would not be susceptible to the recliner.

01:01:04Come on, without that guitar shot from Jarrett.

01:01:07Would he have beat Buff had Jarrett not used the guitars?

01:01:11No.

01:01:11He would not.

01:01:12You don't know that.

01:01:14Could Buff win it with a blockbuster?

01:01:17We're coming back.

01:01:18Wherever books are sold, you can purchase I'm Next, the strange journey of America's most unlikely superhero.

01:01:28It's the book about Goldberg.

01:01:31It's on sale in bookstores everywhere beginning on the 14th of November.

01:01:35And we are joined here by Lance Storm.

01:01:38And Lance, welcome to the broadcast location.

01:01:41You and General Rection, as Rick Flair said, for the final time coming up at Mayhem.

01:01:46The U.S. champion, General Rection, I might add.

01:01:49Yeah, the U.S. champion.

01:01:51Didn't beat the Canadian champion, did he?

01:01:53No, Tony, he didn't, did he?

01:01:55Well, no, he didn't.

01:01:55He pinned Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

01:01:57But Lance, you've got your shot at redemption coming up at Mayhem.

01:02:00Yeah, I just want to know why Alex Wright has a shot tonight.

01:02:03That's a good question.

01:02:04Am I on the committee?

01:02:05I have no idea.

01:02:05Hey, Tony.

01:02:06Maybe you should find out.

01:02:07Tony, you know anything about that?

01:02:08Yeah, Alex Wright deserves a title shot.

01:02:10Alex Wright has proved himself over and over again at Halloween Havoc last week on our programs.

01:02:15He's been a tag team specialist over the last couple of weeks.

01:02:17But Alex Wright says we understand that he wants to bring the title home to Germany.

01:02:23Would the former champion who held three titles and never been beat for any of them not deserve a title shot?

01:02:29You're getting one.

01:02:29First and foremost, that's right.

01:02:31The first title shot.

01:02:31First and foremost, that's correct, Lance.

01:02:33Lance Storm wins titles.

01:02:35He never loses them.

01:02:37Still to come in this telecast, Goldberg will face Bam Bam Bigelow.

01:02:42Still to come in this telecast.

01:02:43How about this one?

01:02:44Kevin Nash, Booker T, WCW title.

01:02:49And now it's time for Boogie Nights.

01:02:55How about this duo?

01:02:57Would you disco and Alex Wright?

01:02:59We all agree we've been very, very impressed with Alex Wright over the past few weeks.

01:03:06Looks like he's upward body developed.

01:03:10His arms have gotten bigger.

01:03:11His traps.

01:03:12No doubt about it.

01:03:13If he would just dump Bugle Peak, Alex Wright could do something.

01:03:17He's like a V2 Buzz Bomb ready to blow right up.

01:03:21But he's no Lance Storm.

01:03:22He's not even close to being a Lance Storm.

01:03:24But no one is.

01:03:27Alex Wright and Max Klinger.

01:03:30My good friend and tag team partner Alex Wright has a big US title match tonight against General

01:03:36Rection.

01:03:36He's got a few things to say about it.

01:03:38So I will translate for him.

01:03:40Achtung, Achtung.

01:03:42Hier ist Alex Wright.

01:03:44Alex says, yo, yo, yo.

01:03:46Let me speak on this.

01:03:48Oh, come on.

01:03:49Who let these dogs out?

01:03:50Chicago ist eine dreckige Stadt.

01:03:54Alex says that Chicago is the greatest city in America.

01:03:58These idiots bought that.

01:04:03General Rection, du gehörst mir.

01:04:06Ah, yes.

01:04:06I understand.

01:04:08Alex says that after he wins the US title tonight, that he's going to rename it the German

01:04:13Championship and return it to Germany where it belongs so he can defend it on his native

01:04:19soil.

01:04:19Oh, those Germans.

01:04:21Heute Abend werde ich jeden beweisen, dass ich der einzige US Champion bin und werde den

01:04:28Gürtel nach Deutschland mitnehmen.

01:04:30Alex says, thank you.

01:04:33When was the last time Germany went on their own soil, please?

01:04:36Can I tell you something?

01:04:38You know this.

01:04:39Alex Wright can speak perfect English.

01:04:41Of course he can.

01:04:42He knows what Disco is saying.

01:04:43It's one lame brain for another.

01:04:45And here comes the Champion.

01:04:47What a moment it was, one week ago, when General Rection was applauded, was congratulated,

01:04:58was honored by everybody in the locker room for his win over Lance Storm at Halloween

01:05:05Heaven.

01:05:05Well, I beg to differ, Tony.

01:05:07Not everybody.

01:05:08Our broadcast colleague Lance Storm did not come out just to look for United States

01:05:13champion.

01:05:14It was a win over Jim Douglas.

01:05:15Well played.

01:05:17And it won't compare to the party we have in Winnipeg and in Calgary and in Vancouver and

01:05:22in all the great Canadian cities when Lawrence Storm claims to fall back.

01:05:26And Mayhem.

01:05:29Why don't you speak on that, Javon?

01:05:32General Rection will defend the title against Alex Wright.

01:05:35And fans, let's not forget a brand new time.

01:05:43A new time for Thunder.

01:05:45Hey, lame brain, I'm selling something here.

01:05:48Get away from the broadcast table.

01:05:49Yeah, bugle.

01:05:50Sorry about that.

01:05:51That's Thunder Wednesdays at 9 o'clock.

01:05:53I thought he was talking to you, Madden.

01:05:54Classic collar and elbow tie-up with two classic wrestlers.

01:06:00We may not see a lot of hurricanranas in this one.

01:06:03This will be wrestling with the U.S. champion and Alex Wright.

01:06:06First off, it's called a Frankensteiner.

01:06:07And second off, why don't you let the greatest technical wrestler in the world describe some

01:06:11of the action, Hudson?

01:06:12Because, please, he's backstage being CEO.

01:06:15Oh, please.

01:06:17Very good, Scott.

01:06:19The only reason General Rection knows any wrestling at all is because you've been wrestling me for three months.

01:06:22You've got to learn something.

01:06:24I don't disagree with that.

01:06:26They were classic matchups between General Rection and Lance Storm.

01:06:29Foot to the head that time by Alex Wright.

01:06:31Power slam.

01:06:32Actually done.

01:06:33Cover.

01:06:33One, two.

01:06:35And a two count.

01:06:37There's that painted hussy with that fake tan.

01:06:40Who is, please, who is back now with MIA and none of the Team Canada.

01:06:45Look, Alex Wright going to the right and down.

01:06:47He goes hard to the mat.

01:06:51Elbow drop from the big guy, General Rection.

01:06:54He'll do a second one.

01:06:55Alex Wright cannot even move out of the way.

01:06:58Maybe he'll make it three.

01:07:00Is he okay?

01:07:01Yeah, yeah.

01:07:01This time a leg drop.

01:07:04And a cover.

01:07:05One, two.

01:07:07No big deal.

01:07:07Leg drop never wins anymore.

01:07:10A two count that time.

01:07:11Wait a minute.

01:07:15Disco Inferno at the broadcast table challenging Lance.

01:07:19Please maintain your composure here.

01:07:22Alex Wright's joined.

01:07:23Tremendous agility that time.

01:07:25He got General Rection off his feet.

01:07:27And Alex Wright now with kicks and stomps and punches now to the side of the head.

01:07:32Hit the big guy down.

01:07:33His Luftwaffe training's paying off.

01:07:36They dance like that in the Luftwaffe, by the way.

01:07:38Is that what they do?

01:07:40It matters not to Lance Storm.

01:07:42He could beat an American.

01:07:43He could beat a German.

01:07:44He could beat a Brazilian.

01:07:45He could beat an Ecuadorian, a Peruvian, a Chilean.

01:07:48He could beat anybody, Tony.

01:07:50Chilean?

01:07:51Let me ask you, Lance Storm.

01:07:53I'm assuming that if Alex Wright comes out of this matchup with the United States Heavyweight Championship,

01:07:58he'll take over the booking at Mayhem.

01:08:00Which man would you rather face?

01:08:02I'd rather feed General Rection.

01:08:04Well, it's personal between those two.

01:08:06That's the first guy.

01:08:06Absolutely.

01:08:07Four months I've been wrestling this guy.

01:08:08He's never beaten me once, and I'm going to prove it.

01:08:10He doesn't deserve that title.

01:08:12You do deserve that shot.

01:08:13I'll give you that, Lance Storm.

01:08:14No question.

01:08:15That's right wins tonight.

01:08:16I don't want to wait till Mayhem.

01:08:17I'll face him at Thunder.

01:08:19Whoa.

01:08:19On the 16th of November, WCW will be in Oberhausen, Germany, at the arena for a big pay-per-view in Germany.

01:08:27Alex Wright would like nothing better than to go back home with the title around his waist

01:08:32and rename it the German Heavyweight title.

01:08:35A kick to the gut might actually be done by Alex Wright.

01:08:38Now, is that a pay-per-view or just an Oberhausen show?

01:08:40That's a pay-per-view.

01:08:43Big European uppercut by Alex Wright.

01:08:45Alex, it's one of his forte.

01:08:47Look at this.

01:08:47Oh!

01:08:47Of Alex Wright.

01:08:49General Retson at 320, 330 plus.

01:08:52Alex picked him up fairly easily.

01:08:54You're right, Tony.

01:08:55The man has really developed some upper body strength.

01:08:58Cover one.

01:08:58Tony.

01:08:59Oh!

01:08:59Boy, he was a half count that time away from winning the title.

01:09:03I wish I had a bumper sticker that said, I'd rather be watching Lance Storm.

01:09:08Snapmare.

01:09:08Boy, you are the biggest suck-up I've ever brought.

01:09:12I'm a proud Canadian.

01:09:13You are up on top now.

01:09:15Alex Wright getting ready to take flight.

01:09:18And he does.

01:09:19Whoa!

01:09:19Oh, he connected that time.

01:09:21Foot in the sternum.

01:09:22Oh, the weight.

01:09:23One, two!

01:09:24One, two!

01:09:25Boy, General Retson finds his back on the mat once again.

01:09:28Almost for the three cap.

01:09:30Alex is like a very agile and talented Baron Von Rasky.

01:09:33He's got it all going on.

01:09:34And right now he's dominating.

01:09:35Hold on.

01:09:36Let this go to him.

01:09:37Lame brain with a chair.

01:09:38Lame brain with a chair.

01:09:39Oh, the misfits are here.

01:09:40MIA, all three remaining members of MIA.

01:09:46Kill him, kill him!

01:09:47I don't know, he's sprinting mighty quickly up towards the-

01:09:52But night he's in Rosemont.

01:09:53The upper reaches of the United Center.

01:09:57But Alex Wright's alone now.

01:10:00What?

01:10:00Why was that Andy Wright here to begin with?

01:10:03He's up long time, Alex Wright.

01:10:04General Retson got him in the head.

01:10:06General Retson's got him up top again.

01:10:08Down!

01:10:11Watch the general.

01:10:12Power!

01:10:13Go!

01:10:16Alex Wright, nowhere to go but down.

01:10:19You know, I actually want General Retson to win

01:10:21so Lance Storm can take him apart at mayhem.

01:10:24Oh, look at that, General Retson.

01:10:25If he hits that, we're going to mayhem.

01:10:27So let me make the call here.

01:10:28Go ahead.

01:10:29Fly, fat ass, fly!

01:10:31Nailed it!

01:10:33Connected, one, and two.

01:10:35Still the champion.

01:10:37Quinn and Wright and Lance Storm.

01:10:40And Lance Storm, you and the General at mayhem.

01:10:45Three more weeks.

01:10:46Three more weeks!

01:10:48Twenty days to go.

01:10:50Up next.

01:10:51Hold on to your hats for this.

01:10:54The beach from the east.

01:10:55And Goldberg!

01:10:56Shhh.

01:10:57They always say the best way to get someone's attention is the whisper.

01:11:05But that ain't Hacksaw Jim Duggan's way.

01:11:08I go up to the front door, I kick it open, and I say what I'm going to say.

01:11:14And that's why I'm here tonight to tell you what's wrong with America.

01:11:19Now, I don't have ten days, so I can't talk about the loss of respect for elders.

01:11:25I can't talk about when a handshake meant something.

01:11:29I can't talk about when an honest day's work make an honest day's pay.

01:11:34But here on election day eve, what I will talk about is something you proud, you proud Americans may not know.

01:11:45Only 30% of you big old proud folks will pull yourself out of your easy chairs and drag your freight down to the polling place and cast a vote.

01:11:58And you call yourselves true Americans.

01:12:01Sure, the choices may not be too good, but they're best that you've got.

01:12:06You're the ones that they came from, and you've got to make the choice.

01:12:10So, let me regain my composure like a true Canadian should, and tell you what's wrong with America.

01:12:19It's you!

01:12:23Booker T, I know you're preparing for your WCW title match against Big Sexy Kevin Nash,

01:12:28but I'd like to know what the WCW CEO, Ric Flair, said earlier.

01:12:34You know, first thing first, Big Kev, you want your title shot, you're gonna get it tonight.

01:12:39But let's make one thing perfectly clear, I have no love loss for you.

01:12:44As far as Ric Flair and the new CEO, most definitely, it's about time somebody step up to the plate and take care of business around this camp.

01:12:53WCW mayhem, cage teeth, straight jacket held high above the ring, Scott Steiner, it's gonna be me and you.

01:13:01I know you want this, but let's make one thing perfectly clear, I will die before I give up this heavyweight title.

01:13:10You want this, you better check yourself, before you wreck yourself fool, because it mayhem, booyah!

01:13:16And I'm gonna get with ya.

01:13:21The champion himself, Booker T, prepared not only for Kevin Nash tonight, but for Scott Steiner in cage teeth,

01:13:29with a straight jacket high above the ring in only 20 days, and mayhem in Milwaukee.

01:13:34And here comes one of the most dangerous, one of the most lethal men in all of sports entertainment.

01:13:40Walking back in the ring is Bam Bam Bigelow.

01:13:43And every situation for Bill Goldberg is dangerous.

01:13:47Take it, Tony.

01:13:48Last Wednesday, Bam Bam Bigelow with the greetings from Ash Barrett Park on Crowbar.

01:13:54And Crowbar gave Bam Bam everything he wanted.

01:13:56And then earlier tonight, with Luger at the attention of Goldberg, Bam Bam got in the blows.

01:14:01And I don't know, Scott, if that token made Goldberg even angrier, and I'm not sure sure Bam Bam even cares.

01:14:07I don't think Bam Bam Bigelow wants to make Goldberg any angrier than Goldberg is right now.

01:14:12You don't come on this man's turn and call him out.

01:14:16Hey, here's the bottom line.

01:14:18Every professional athlete can have an off day.

01:14:21The St. Louis Rams had an off day yesterday.

01:14:23Tiger Woods had an off day yesterday.

01:14:26But you know what?

01:14:27Even though they lost, they get to play again next week.

01:14:30The next off day Goldberg has, he's all done.

01:14:33Will that off day be tonight?

01:14:35Will Bam Bam Bigelow provide the loss that sends Goldberg hope for good?

01:14:40This man can't have an off day.

01:14:42And I believe that may make him better than anybody has ever been.

01:14:47He comes into this matchup at 14 and 0.

01:14:51On his way to 177 and 0.

01:14:54Can he make it?

01:14:55If he doesn't, he's done.

01:14:56He's gone from World Championship Wrestling.

01:14:59But when he makes it Tony, Mark Lee will get a shot at what he prices most.

01:15:0525 pounds of gold, the World Heavyweight Championship.

01:15:11Next Tuesday, his book, I'm Next, will be in bookstores everywhere.

01:15:16But now, Amir, eight days prior to that, and he tonight's time to go to the ring.

01:15:23This most explosive athlete comes to the ring once again.

01:15:28Had that one-on-one interview with him a couple of weeks ago.

01:15:31How can a man so mild-mannered be so explosive when the bell sounds?

01:15:35He rolls to the ring, and Bam Bam meets him head on.

01:15:38Goes after the ice.

01:15:39Smart move!

01:15:40He uses all of his strain to pin Goldberg up against the turnbuckle pads.

01:15:44I gotta point out, dude, Bill Goldberg's right leg is heavily taped.

01:15:48Maybe this man's injured.

01:15:49Maybe this man's human after all.

01:15:51Bam Bam Bigelow didn't just finish up at the power plant last week.

01:15:55He's a veteran of the ring wards.

01:15:56He knows exactly how to take advantage of his opponent's weakness.

01:16:01Go for the eyes.

01:16:02Everybody's eyes are weak.

01:16:03Go for that injured right thigh.

01:16:05We can see Goldberg looks like he's pulled a hamstring or something.

01:16:08He is gamey out there, and now Bigelow using his weight to his advantage.

01:16:13You're right, Madden.

01:16:14Tonight may be the night.

01:16:15Mr. Madden, do you win if Goldberg has a whammy in his hammy?

01:16:18That will take away all his mobility.

01:16:20It might even make Bam Bam Bigelow the favorite to win this match.

01:16:23I wouldn't go that far.

01:16:25If anybody can shut out the pain, Goldberg can shut out the pain.

01:16:29But let's remember, look at that roundhouse left hand that time.

01:16:33And what a miss that was.

01:16:35Again.

01:16:36Oh, Luger walks out.

01:16:39Oh, now what?

01:16:41Yeah, he's one to one, picking his spots.

01:16:44He comes out when he knows that Goldberg is reeling.

01:16:47That Goldberg has been gouged in the eyes.

01:16:49That he's been blinded.

01:16:50That he has no offense at all.

01:16:52Because he cannot see the man.

01:16:53Whoa!

01:16:54He knocked him on his rear end.

01:16:57Bam Bam Bigelow at what?

01:16:59350 plus just got knocked all the way across the ring.

01:17:04And now Goldberg spies his nemesis.

01:17:06Looked over to the side.

01:17:07Lex Luger.

01:17:08Bigelow from behind.

01:17:09A mistake by Goldberg in the belly to back.

01:17:12And he dropped him down very hard.

01:17:14See, see, Goldberg's playing right into Lex Luger's hands.

01:17:17You gotta pay attention to your opponent in the ring.

01:17:20And now Big Bam Bam's going way up high.

01:17:22He is getting under Goldberg's skin.

01:17:25Is the total baggage.

01:17:27300 plus pounds.

01:17:29Here we go.

01:17:30Red butt cover.

01:17:31And no, Goldberg is not done yet.

01:17:34A two count on Goldberg.

01:17:36One count away from unemployment.

01:17:40Goldberg back up.

01:17:41Now he's got his side back, obviously.

01:17:43That one minute's mark, but Bigelow didn't even budge from it.

01:17:48Bigelow!

01:17:49He's standing!

01:17:50My God!

01:17:51Did you see the impact?

01:17:53The ring shook.

01:17:54Did you hear it?

01:17:55The floor man shaking.

01:17:56He put Bigelow almost all the way through to the depths of the cement under Chicago.

01:18:02Can he jackhammer 350 plus?

01:18:06He's sending a message to Lex Luger.

01:18:08He looks at Luger.

01:18:09He looks at my butt.

01:18:10Look at that time.

01:18:11He did it.

01:18:12One, two, and three.

01:18:14One hand over is down.

01:18:17One hand over is down.

01:18:19One hand over is down.

01:18:20One hand over is down.

01:18:21One hand over is down.

01:18:22Fifteen and all.

01:18:23One hand over is down.

01:18:24Fifteen and all.

01:18:25And the juicy eye muscle.

01:18:26The frame up.

01:18:27Luger smiles.

01:18:28Luger lays.

01:18:29He says your next total package.

01:18:32And that's coming up in Mayhem.

01:18:37Look at this.

01:18:38Scott Steiner is in the ring.

01:18:40Scott Steiner's walked back out of here.

01:18:42He's got the microphone.

01:18:45Ric Flair.

01:18:46Oh, no.

01:18:47I don't give a damn if you're the new CEO.

01:18:50I don't care if you're the janitor.

01:18:52I don't take orders from nobody.

01:18:54We know that.

01:18:55So you can go straight to hell.

01:18:58But before you go, kiss my ass first.

01:19:02What a way to court.

01:19:04As far as you, Booker T, I look at you when you carry that belt, and it makes me laugh.

01:19:09Because at Halloween Havoc, I hated your ass on a silver platter.

01:19:13And I plucked your ass, and it won't be no different than mayhem.

01:19:19There won't be no drama.

01:19:20There won't be no mystery.

01:19:22I'm gonna kick your ass.

01:19:26You're right.

01:19:27What a way with words.

01:19:27As far as save the drama for your mama, the only drama is she don't know who your daddy is.

01:19:33Boy.

01:19:35That's going a little far, but I'm not gonna tell him.

01:19:38Well, fans, up next, our main event, Booker defends the title against Kevin Nash.

01:19:42Uh-oh.

01:19:43And it looks like Scott Steiner isn't going anywhere.

01:19:47You're more than welcome to sit down.

01:19:49You're the man.

01:19:51And it was mad, by the way.

01:19:52We're coming right back.

01:19:59Obviously, we are joined by the man himself, Big Papa Puppy.

01:20:03He has redefined the term loose cannon here at Rinkside with us when Booker T defends against Kevin Nash.

01:20:09What's he defending, Tony?

01:20:11Why don't you address me as the uncrowned champion?

01:20:13Because everybody's seen me punk Booker's ass at Halloween Havoc.

01:20:16There's no doubt in everybody's mind who won that match.

01:20:18I left his ass flaying.

01:20:21Tell the truth or not.

01:20:23You love the way it is, Scott.

01:20:24That's right, Tony.

01:20:24You called the way it is.

01:20:26That's right, Scott.

01:20:26You're the uncrowned champion.

01:20:28No doubt about it.

01:20:29So what happens if Kevin Nash wins?

01:20:31And you and Kevin Nash, does that matter to you?

01:20:33I don't want to talk about Kevin Nash right now.

01:20:37He and Kevin Nash are tight.

01:20:39Being booked or not, all right?

01:20:40I'm with you.

01:20:41I'd rather face Booker T because I know without any shadow ball in anybody's mind who won that match, I owned him.

01:20:49I want to tell you, with Caged Heat, with that cage around the ring and Mayhem, with the straight jacket,

01:20:55I don't think there's a cage over the ring that can hold you.

01:20:59The only thing I like about the cage is nobody can come out here and save Booker T.

01:21:03I'm going to hurt him bad if Caged Heat is guaranteed.

01:21:08This is for the WCW title very briefly on the 20th of November.

01:21:13On a Monday night, we're going to be in Augusta, Georgia, the Richland County Civic Center for Nitrogs vendor the same night.

01:21:20Milwaukee, of course, will have Mayhem, where Scott Steiner gets a shot at the title.

01:21:25That will be at the USW and Arena on Sunday, the 26th of November.

01:21:29The very next night, Rockford in the Metro Center, Rockville, Illinois, Nitro and Thunder that night, and here comes Booker to the ring.

01:21:37I'm looking at the screen now, he still has a belt.

01:21:38That's a joke.

01:21:40That's your belt, Scotty.

01:21:41That's your belt.

01:21:42That ain't right.

01:21:43He don't have no pride.

01:21:44He ain't got no dignity.

01:21:45If I was beat that bad, I would never wear that belt again.

01:21:48But you'd never get beat that bad.

01:21:49That's right.

01:21:50But Scott, with all due respect, please, you were disqualified for losing.

01:21:55You're in control at Halloween Halloween.

01:21:56Well, ain't my fault nobody can keep up with me.

01:21:58I'm the largest guy.

01:21:59I've got the largest arms in the world.

01:22:00I'm the strongest man in the WCW, as a matter of fact, in the world.

01:22:03Ain't my fault nobody can hang with me.

01:22:05So why do you got to disqualify me if they're not up to my talent level?

01:22:09But you've got to keep it in control, Scott.

01:22:11I don't have to be in control.

01:22:13I've always had a wild hair up my ass.

01:22:14Yes, sir.

01:22:15There's no secret there.

01:22:16Yes, sir.

01:22:16Scott and I'm saying Hudson.

01:22:19Scott, you might as well stop while you're alive.

01:22:21Hudson, back off, because I'll help him if he needs it, which he won't.

01:22:24Shut up, man.

01:22:25Here we go.

01:22:26It's Big Sexy.

01:22:27Kevin Nags and Booker T for the WCW title.

01:22:30And, of course, the one and only Big Papa Pump is here with us in ringside.

01:22:35Uncrowned champion.

01:22:37The Uncrowned champion.

01:22:39All right.

01:22:39They're going to hear their yell.

01:22:40They're chanting.

01:22:40We want Pump.

01:22:41We want Pump.

01:22:42Because they know who the champion is.

01:22:45There's a nine.

01:22:46You can't deny what the crowd wants.

01:22:4920 days.

01:22:50Scott Steiner, you're going to have your opportunity.

01:22:5220 days, I'm going to kick his ass again.

01:22:54Side headlock.

01:22:55Good go behind that tie.

01:22:59Booker T holds on to Nash.

01:23:00Boy, Nash is big and strong himself.

01:23:02Look at this.

01:23:03Nearly seven feet tall.

01:23:05Well over 300 pounds.

01:23:06Truly one of the greatest performers we have seen in WCW ever.

01:23:11Booker T, thinking man's wrestler.

01:23:13You know, Booker very rarely loses his come to the ring.

01:23:17You sound like it's a good thing.

01:23:19He ain't got cool.

01:23:21He's not cool.

01:23:22Look at Nash.

01:23:22He's from the neighborhood.

01:23:23He's from Michigan.

01:23:25He's going to wear his ass out just like I did.

01:23:27Look at him.

01:23:27Exactly right.

01:23:28Look at him.

01:23:28He's running from him.

01:23:30One punch.

01:23:31One punch.

01:23:32The native of Detroit.

01:23:34Kevin Nash hits Booker now head first to the apron now.

01:23:40We're in front of our broadcast.

01:23:42Wait a minute.

01:23:42Right there, man.

01:23:43Wait a minute.

01:23:46How you like that, Booker T?

01:23:48How you like that?

01:23:50Scott, you've got to control yourself.

01:23:53Get him again.

01:23:55Scott, it's time to be very careful.

01:23:57Scott, I don't want to remind you what Ric Flair said.

01:24:00I mean, what?

01:24:00Did you just hear what I just said?

01:24:01No, yes, he did.

01:24:02I don't give a damn if Ric Flair's a new studio or not.

01:24:04He could kiss my ass.

01:24:05I don't take orders from nobody.

01:24:08But Scott, what if he's told you?

01:24:09Don't get him mad.

01:24:10All right, I won't forget.

01:24:11Meanwhile, Booker T has got the man hit the tear.

01:24:15That's illegal.

01:24:15That is illegal.

01:24:16That's right.

01:24:17CEO Flair should suspend him.

01:24:19That's right.

01:24:20That's illegal.

01:24:21That's the only way Booker T can win, using foreign objects.

01:24:23He's up on two.

01:24:24Down goes Nash.

01:24:26Booker T hits his mark.

01:24:27Nash down to two.

01:24:28And he did kick out in a two.

01:24:30Wow.

01:24:31You can't put it back at the big down for one, two, three, I'll tell you what.

01:24:35Reversal Booker hits the...

01:24:36Oh, big boots!

01:24:37Oh, no!

01:24:38I don't know if there's a deep point.

01:24:40That one was on target.

01:24:42Put him down!

01:24:43Come on, shoot Nash!

01:24:44Come on, Kevin!

01:24:46Bring him back to the neighborhood!

01:24:47Come on!

01:24:48He makes the most basic movements effective, does Kevin Nash.

01:24:52He only knows three moves, and all of them can kill you.

01:24:55You're exactly right.

01:24:56And he's proud of that fact.

01:24:57Make no mistake about it.

01:24:59Picked him up, dropped him down.

01:25:00And Booker T, for all he's worth, kicked out on that one.

01:25:04Wow!

01:25:04He's worth about two cents, Tony.

01:25:06Wow.

01:25:06Well, not so sure about that.

01:25:10Kevin Nash is like Babe Ruth.

01:25:11He calls his shots, he lets you know it's coming, and dares you to stop it.

01:25:15And right now, Booker T just can't stop it.

01:25:18Booker T back to his feet.

01:25:20Nash, though, with the leverage advantage here, the height advantage,

01:25:24as Booker just trying to power out using raw power,

01:25:28and Nash got him that time.

01:25:31Was Booker T using the heart advantage, which he does have over Kevin Nash?

01:25:35He has a what advantage?

01:25:36The heart advantage.

01:25:37That's a good call, Scott Hudson.

01:25:39Are you high?

01:25:40Heart advantage!

01:25:41Why do you figure that?

01:25:41Nash goes down Booker T, covers one, two.

01:25:46Well, we're telling his back's too big for holding Big Bang like that down for him.

01:25:49He's obviously a back.

01:25:50Look at how large that is.

01:25:51Second to me, that's a large back in wrestling.

01:25:53I would agree with that.

01:25:54And, oh, into the gut.

01:25:57Booker T, he's got the big guy down on one.

01:25:59It's a scissor kick.

01:26:00Yeah, you can shake him.

01:26:01I know him like a book.

01:26:02Yeah, you're right.

01:26:03Here comes a spin-a-rooney.

01:26:05Booker T ain't gonna do nothing against me.

01:26:07I know him.

01:26:08Spin-a-rooney, spin-a-rooney.

01:26:09That's what I call it.

01:26:10It's back up.

01:26:13And now, Scott Steiner watching off Booker T.

01:26:17Can be-

01:26:17Dumb-a-rooney!

01:26:18Oh!

01:26:19Left goes down.

01:26:21That's a DQ.

01:26:22That is a DQ.

01:26:23He should be suspended.

01:26:24That's right.

01:26:24Where's Rich Slayer now?

01:26:25Yeah!

01:26:26He's on Leo.

01:26:27Time why he's not on Booker T.

01:26:28I do believe that was inadvertent kick.

01:26:30He was going there.

01:26:31He's got him.

01:26:32Shut him up.

01:26:33Hey, we're going to-

01:26:34Stasiak's in there.

01:26:35What the hell?

01:26:36What did Stasiak do?

01:26:37What a hit.

01:26:39Is he trying to help Nash?

01:26:40Yes.

01:26:41Look, he's got brass knucks, and he's right here.

01:26:44Brass knucks.

01:26:44I like it.

01:26:45And he knocked that book.

01:26:47We're going to have a new champion.

01:26:49Booker T is unconscious.

01:26:51He was KO'd by Sean Stasiak with the brass knucks.

01:26:54Come on, Kevin.

01:26:55Give him that powerbomb.

01:26:57He is one.

01:26:58He can pin him right now.

01:26:59Play him.

01:26:59Play him, Kevin.

01:27:00Yes.

01:27:02Oh, no.

01:27:03Give it to him.

01:27:03What if Travis Dede...

01:27:05Whoa!

01:27:05I got it.

01:27:06Mike, what did he just do?

01:27:07What the hell did Stasiak just do?

01:27:10He covered...

01:27:10What was that?

01:27:11I don't know.

01:27:12What is Stasiak doing?

01:27:13One, two...

01:27:14No!

01:27:15This is what it is.

01:27:17What was so...

01:27:18What did we just see?

01:27:21Is this what being a thriller is all about?

01:27:24Oh, come on!

01:27:25What did he do it?

01:27:27Oh, Sean Stasiak!

01:27:29Good night!

01:27:30What a statement!

01:27:32This is unbelievable.

01:27:33Hey, on a minute.

01:27:34Scott Stutter just left the broadcast position.

01:27:35Get out of here.

01:27:36And now he said, let's get out of here.

01:27:38That's the best thing he could have done.

01:27:39I can't believe what I have seen.

01:27:42Why did Stasiak sink it?

01:27:43And Booker T is still the...

01:27:45Wait a minute.

01:27:46Scott Snyder's got Booker T!

01:27:47Let's go.

01:27:48Hey!

01:27:48Let's go.

01:27:49Let's go.
