00:00:00Monday Nitro is on the air, and we're off and starting already.

00:00:06You don't wanna miss the very first of Monday Nitro,

00:00:09because you never know what's gonna happen.

00:00:12Tony Shimani right side with Scott Hudson.

00:00:15Jeff Jarrett did not even wait for him to be in the program.

00:00:17He's already walking out here, Scott.

00:00:19Jeff Jarrett is part of the Magnificent Seven of the Nature Boss, Ric Flair.

00:00:23Nobody tells him what to do.

00:00:25He'll come out when he's good and ready.

00:00:28And tonight, he was just a few beats early.

00:00:30Guitar in hand.

00:00:35So much talk about what went down one week ago on this telecast,

00:00:42when we found out that he and Ric Flair would be together at the three pay-per-view

00:00:47this Sunday against the father-son duo of Dusty and Dustin Rose.

00:00:52And Dustin Rose.

00:00:53There's Dustin.

00:00:55He's in the ring.

00:00:56Yeah.

00:00:56Oh, yes.

00:00:58He didn't realize he was there, but now he knows all too well.

00:01:02Dustin Rhodes picking up where they all left off one week ago, Scott.

00:01:07Jeff Jarrett has humiliated the Rhodes family too many times for Dustin's liking.

00:01:12Out goes the chosen one, who did not choose that one.

00:01:15And Dustin's right out there after him.

00:01:18Dustin Rhodes and his father of the American dream together at Greed.

00:01:23We are less than a week away.

00:01:25It's the Sunday, six days away.

00:01:26And can you imagine the excitement of the father and son team together against Ric Flair and Jeff Jarrett?

00:01:32Look at that.

00:01:33Look at that.

00:01:34Caught him coming in.

00:01:35I mean, Flair and Rhodes again will collide, this time in a tag team match.

00:01:39This is not a scheduled contest for Nitro.

00:01:42There's no referee.

00:01:43Jeff Jarrett jumpstarted the show and Dustin Rose jumpstarted Jarrett.

00:01:48Jarrett came out with a microphone in his hand.

00:01:51Obviously, he has something to say.

00:01:54But Dustin didn't let him open his mouth.

00:01:57And now Jarrett firing back on Dustin, slumped down at the bottom turnbuckle.

00:02:03Tries to send him near side.

00:02:04Dustin ducks low.

00:02:05Boom.

00:02:06And go to the ultimate.

00:02:07Go!

00:02:08Him in the Lariat from way down in Austin, Texas.

00:02:12Dustin Rhodes with every one of these right hands.

00:02:15He's gonna rain down on the toes of one is remembering Jeff Jarrett.

00:02:19And then last week, Ric Flair dressed up as his father.

00:02:23The American dream, Dusty Rhodes.

00:02:25A little taste of revenge right now.

00:02:28The big taste comes this Sunday night at WCW Green Pay-Per-View.

00:02:32We're gonna be in Jacksonville, Florida.

00:02:34The world will be watching all around our pay-per-view.

00:02:38A double-axe and a blow.

00:02:39Oh, no.

00:02:40He got him hot.

00:02:42That's one of his signature moves.

00:02:43He calls it the Dust Buster.

00:02:46Oh, and busting dust is what he's about to do.

00:02:50Jeff Jarrett is hung out to dry.

00:02:54He can't get away.

00:02:55Look at this.

00:02:56It's like standing in the middle.

00:02:59Standing in the middle of a freeway.

00:03:03Oh, yeah.

00:03:04Oh, Knoxville is firmly behind Dustin Rhodes.

00:03:08No!

00:03:11The Dust Buster on target.

00:03:15And now Dustin's got the mic.

00:03:17Yep.

00:03:19Sonny at the pay-per-view.

00:03:23I'm gonna give you something to choke on, so you better pucker up,

00:03:27because you're gonna kiss my old man's pimply white ass.

00:03:32Talking about the stipulations coming up this Sunday.

00:03:41There he is, Dustin Rhodes.

00:03:42We've got word from the back that Rick Landeleth, the Magnificent Devon,

00:03:48has just arrived.

00:03:49Let's get in one of our security cameras in the back and see what's going on.

00:04:02You see the limo pulling up, our security camera looking in, and Dustin Rhodes can see us now.

00:04:08Who, who is this?

00:04:17There's an animal.

00:04:18And it looks like Lex Luger.

00:04:19And is that, is that Buff Bagwell with a camcorder in his hand?

00:04:23There's flair.

00:04:27Red light.

00:04:28Everything looks good.

00:04:29Let's do this thing.

00:04:30Hold on, champ.

00:04:31Hold on, champ.

00:04:31I'm gonna zoom in.

00:04:33Knock him in!

00:04:34Knock him in!

00:04:35Before I start talking, you know, this is a documentary for a meatball.

00:04:37Absolutely.

00:04:38It's about me, but you know why I'm able to sit here today and talk about me?

00:04:41I want you to pan around this room.

00:04:43I want you to look at the greatest cast of wrestlers that exist in the business today.

00:04:49That exists.

00:04:50The elite!

00:04:50That's right, the elite.

00:04:52These are the guys, the World Heavyweight Champion, Totally Buffed, Animal, Double J, Rick Steiner.

00:04:59We're talking about the greatest, most elite group of wrestlers alive.

00:05:03And I'm gonna sit here right now because I'm in a position to talk about me.

00:05:08This is a documentary about me, about my career, and why I'm able to sit here with this elite group.

00:05:13For 20 years, think about it, for 20 years I've been in this company.

00:05:17I've been the dirtiest player in the game.

00:05:19I've worked on both sides.

00:05:21I've wrestled every great star that's ever come down the road.

00:05:25I've been Ric Flair, the dirtiest player in the game.

00:05:28I've been the nature boy.

00:05:30And I'm able to sit here today, calm, arrogant, cocky, cool, and talk about the greatest career

00:05:37in the history of this sport.

00:05:39Talk about myself, the one and only, the kiss-stealing, wheeling-dealing, the limousine riding,

00:05:46jet flying, that's pretty good though, jet flying son of a gun.

00:05:49Just kissed all the girls and made them cry.

00:05:52I want to talk about why I'm able to sit here today and do this.

00:05:57Now I'm smarter.

00:05:58I don't have to prove myself in the ring anymore.

00:06:00Done it.

00:06:00I've been there, done it.

00:06:0214 times the world I've reached.

00:06:04I want to talk about what I've learned and why I'm able to not wear a custom-made suit.

00:06:08Sit on the other side of the table, right Buff?

00:06:10Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:06:10Style it and profile it and run the show.

00:06:12Learn how to sit over here and be the dirtiest player in the game.

00:06:16Learn how to eat guys like Ted Turner and Bill Gates and Donald Trump alive.

00:06:22Learn how to negotiate, manipulate, learn how to run a company.

00:06:26I want the new owners to see why Ric Flair has survived.

00:06:29And you have survived.

00:06:30Your survival.

00:06:31I want the guys like Hogan, Savage, Piper,

00:06:37all those guys that came through this company and thought they could run by me,

00:06:41run over me.

00:06:41I want them all to know that I'm still here and they're gone.

00:06:44And that reminds me, champ, you've got your own hit list.

00:06:47Why don't you run down that list of guys that you've destroyed?

00:06:49Big name players that tried to get in your way.

00:06:51Let's see, the first was Booker T.

00:06:53He was easy.

00:06:54Sting was next.

00:06:56I hope he's seen Sting.

00:06:57Oh, Goldberg.

00:06:59Got a hand to you guys.

00:07:00Goldberg.

00:07:01Well, got rid of Goldberg.

00:07:04Sid Vicious is out.

00:07:05Who's next?

00:07:06Diamond Dallas White Trash.

00:07:08Hey, where the hell were you guys?

00:07:10What the hell were you guys at?

00:07:12Now, where the hell were you guys at?

00:07:13What's wrong, man?

00:07:14You know what happened?

00:07:15You know what happened?

00:07:16You know what happened?

00:07:17Justin Rose, Jeff.

00:07:18How many times have you been?

00:07:19You never get separated.

00:07:20You got here before us, Jeff.

00:07:21I was scheduled to be here, Rick, and you knew that.

00:07:24We gotta stay together, Jeff.

00:07:25We can't arrive separately.

00:07:26You know those guys who are hanging in the weeds on us?

00:07:28Come on, buddy.

00:07:29We never split up.

00:07:30We're always riding together.

00:07:31We talked about that.

00:07:32Elite group, Jeff.

00:07:33Come on.

00:07:34Yeah, Jeff.

00:07:34Come on, buddy.

00:07:35Man, hey, Jeff.

00:07:35You all right?

00:07:36Team, team.

00:07:37Man, Jeff, come on.

00:07:38Just take your day off, man.

00:07:40Just relax.

00:07:41Just relax.

00:07:42You all right?

00:07:43He's got to get a shower, so he's not.

00:07:45You're bad.

00:07:46Get out of control.

00:07:48I got an idea.

00:07:49How you can kill two terrorists, okay?

00:07:52I've got a minute.

00:07:53Yeah, yeah, man.

00:07:53What he's talking about?

00:07:54He is so great.

00:07:56The Nature Boy, Rick, play the boss, so taken with himself.

00:07:59Apparently, he's got a documentary going on in the backstage area.

00:08:02We have a direct link to the camera being run by Buff Vagra.

00:08:06We will show you some excerpts from his documentary as they happen here tonight.

00:08:11But as that all was going on as they were arriving, Jeff Jarrett was left all alone here, Scott.

00:08:16Backstage, we saw Madeja back, too, Tony.

00:08:18Let's not forget that.

00:08:19She was injured a couple of weeks ago.

00:08:20She's back.

00:08:21But earlier tonight, moments ago, in fact, Jeff Jarrett posing and preening as he does.

00:08:26But Dustin Rhodes gave him a new tattoo right between the eyes.

00:08:30And this Sunday night, at the Green Pay-Per-View, Dusty and Dustin Rhodes will square off.

00:08:36Oh, against Jeff Jarrett and Rick Blair.

00:08:39Jeff just got his dust busted by Dustin Rhodes.

00:08:43The Magnificent Seven, as you can see, are here with Madeja back in the fold as well.

00:08:48We'll see how that unfolds tonight.

00:08:49Also here tonight, our resident sociopath.

00:08:52We're talking about Canyon.

00:08:54Kind of wonder what pain he's going to inflict here tonight.

00:08:57What a week Canyon had last week. Miss Jones on the shelf.

00:09:00And then what he did Wednesday night.

00:09:04You see Canyon and Smooth outside the building.

00:09:07And then Canyon overturning the limo.

00:09:09You want to mess with me?

00:09:11Canyon thought that Smooth stooged him off to the cat.

00:09:14And that's the price that Smooth paid at the hands of Canyon.

00:09:17What's he got in store tonight?

00:09:19We'll find out.

00:09:20Also rumors that the new owners of WCW may be in attendance here tonight.

00:09:26At ringside, we'll keep you on that story as you take a look.

00:09:29And right behind us, the three empty seats of security surrounding where the new owners

00:09:33apparently will be sitting here tonight.

00:09:36And also coming up next, our first semifinal match in the Cruiserweight Tag Team Tournament.

00:09:42Let's see what's went down already in the first round of the tournament the last few weeks.

00:09:47Let's go.

00:09:49Kidman and Rey Mysterio Jr.

00:09:51will move on in the Cruiserweight Tag Team Tournament.

00:09:54This is so important for the Dragons.

00:09:56They need to get by Bree-Wee and Sanders to advance to round number two.

00:10:01Kid Romeo is gonna come in at WCW and be the founder of primetime.

00:10:06They advance in the tournament primetime at Kid Romeo.

00:10:09The three count team of Shannon Moore and Evan Courageous, they advance to the semis.

00:10:15The innovation at WCW comes from the Cruiserweight division.

00:10:27All right, hold on now.

00:10:28We've just received word that something's gone down in the backstage area.

00:10:31We got one of our cameras back there.

00:10:33Let's go see what's happened right now if we can.

00:10:38Let's go backstage.

00:10:41Do we have that camera?

00:10:43Do we have that camera?

00:10:46What?

00:10:46What is going on?

00:10:47Let's get a camera back there.

00:10:48We're trying to get a camera back there as quickly as we can, fans.

00:10:53All right.

00:10:54Ricky!

00:10:55Hey!

00:10:57Hey, get that camera out, you son of a bitch!

00:11:00Get out of here!

00:11:04God, Medesia's been laid out!

00:11:06She just came back.

00:11:07First time we've seen her in a couple of weeks.

00:11:08She took that horrendous sidewalk slam from Kevin Nash at Super Bowl Revenge.

00:11:14And this is the first time we've seen her back in...

00:11:16Oh, she does not look well.

00:11:18Scott Steiner's furious as always.

00:11:19Cruiserweight Tag Team Tournament continues.

00:11:22You see the bracketing Wednesday night on Thunder.

00:11:25Ray Mysterio Jr. and Kidman will take on three count.

00:11:28Evan Courageous and Shannon Moore.

00:11:30But coming up right now on Nitro.

00:11:33Prime Time and Kid Romeo will take on the Young Dragons.

00:11:38One of these two teams will advance to the finals Sunday night at the Green Pay-Per-View.

00:11:42Tony?

00:11:42Astonishing what went down just moments ago to Medesia.

00:11:46I mean, that's the same room where Ric Flair was beginning his documentary just a few moments ago.

00:11:52And through the courtesy of that camcorder, we saw the aftermath.

00:11:56And here come the Young Dragons.

00:11:58That was a couple of weeks ago on Thunder with Yang time.

00:12:02Yang got the one, two, three over Mike Sanders.

00:12:04And the Young Dragons advanced into the semifinal round of the Cruiserweight Tag Team Tournament.

00:12:09They advanced the courts, as you said, over Sanders and Queewee.

00:12:14And their opponents, an unlikely duo, a surprise duo.

00:12:18Here comes a member of Team Canada, Prime Time.

00:12:23Never lacking for competent scots.

00:12:25And of course, never lacking for ability as well.

00:12:27And he and Kid Romeo made quite a team last week.

00:12:31Prime Time and Kid Romeo advanced.

00:12:33There you see it, the last kiss.

00:12:35Kid Romeo gets the Duke over Air Paris.

00:12:40Prime Time and the newcomer, Kid Romeo, are in the semifinals right now.

00:12:45And we made the comment we thought they made quite a team.

00:12:48Being together for the first time here on WCW Television.

00:12:53And here comes the Latin American sensation.

00:12:58Kid Romeo compares himself, believe it or not, to Mickey Mouse.

00:13:04Oh, of course he does.

00:13:06Ricky Martin wishes he had a aspect of that.

00:13:08But like everything else, Kid Romeo may be suffering a little bit of delusion.

00:13:12But that's going to help him.

00:13:13That cockiness, that ego, he may go far here.

00:13:16And speaking of ego, Ric Flair, what an egomaniac,

00:13:19filming a documentary about himself.

00:13:22And that leads us to the disturbing footage we saw earlier on.

00:13:25Medeja laid out in that very locker room.

00:13:28Scott Steiner finding her furious.

00:13:30I didn't see anybody else in there.

00:13:31Who did this?

00:13:34That's the question, and as we said, we're going to follow this documentary

00:13:40through the pancorder that's been plugged into our video truck.

00:13:43And also going to follow this mystery in the backstage area,

00:13:47as Romeo, in prime time, jumped this with Charles Robinson, the referee.

00:13:51As we said earlier, the winning team will go on to the green pay-per-view.

00:13:55The Matrix move by prime time.

00:13:57Bending out of the way, but he couldn't do it two times in a row.

00:14:01Yang standing down, and Kid Romeo's all alone against both members of the Young Dragons.

00:14:05Knife edge chops from Yang and Kaz, out goes prime time.

00:14:09It's two on one, one more time, Kid Romeo in the corner.

00:14:12One of these two teams will advance to the finals Sunday night at the green pay-per-view.

00:14:16And of course, the other team will be decided on Wednesday.

00:14:21He's going for Yang time right now.

00:14:23Prime time, cut off Yang time.

00:14:25And Yang's not done.

00:14:27He goes airborne from the top turnbuckle.

00:14:30Down on Kid Romeo in prime time there to pick up the pieces.

00:14:34Here comes Kaz.

00:14:35Whoa!

00:14:37Wiped him out over the top with the moonsault to the floor.

00:14:40Kaz going airborne, sending Romeo back in.

00:14:46High risk maneuvering.

00:14:47We've seen so much of it, especially in this cruiserweight tag team tournament.

00:14:52A tournament that began with eight teams now down to the final four.

00:14:56Prime time goes airborne from the outside in.

00:14:59Down goes Kaz.

00:15:01Now what's Romeo going to do here?

00:15:03He's wasting time is what he's doing.

00:15:04Kaz is right for the picking.

00:15:07Took too much time following up Kaz.

00:15:10Back on all fours.

00:15:10Now back to his feet.

00:15:11No pin coming from here, but good night.

00:15:14What a short arm clothesline from the Kid.

00:15:16As we are following the action here in the ring, we are following the mystery

00:15:20that surrounds the apparent attack on the Deja.

00:15:23Lady who has been out for months.

00:15:26Courtesy out for weeks actually.

00:15:27Courtesy of the attack by big sexy Kevin Nash.

00:15:31And now she's back.

00:15:32She's not even back a segment or two.

00:15:34Double under hook over the top.

00:15:36And she's wiped out once again.

00:15:39Who did it?

00:15:40Maybe we'll find out during the court.

00:15:41What is this one?

00:15:42Oh!

00:15:45One, two, no.

00:15:47Starting off like a house of fire.

00:15:49The young dragons look like world beaters early on.

00:15:51But Kid Romeo in prime time showing deliverance and are now firmly in control.

00:15:57There's the tag to PT.

00:15:59Kaz needs to make the tag to Yang.

00:16:01Firm kick right between the shoulder blades.

00:16:04Got him down.

00:16:04Kept him down, Scott.

00:16:05And Kaz trying to rebound here.

00:16:07Try to gather up something to continue.

00:16:10But right, well, he really did in midstream.

00:16:12Oh!

00:16:12Oh, does he ever.

00:16:13A kick into the face of prime time.

00:16:17Prime time goes crashing.

00:16:18But now Kaz Hayashi must make a tag to Yang.

00:16:22Oh, Yang is ready in the corner.

00:16:24You see him reaching.

00:16:26Almost a quarter of the way across the ring.

00:16:28Reaching it.

00:16:28Kaz, Kaz struggling.

00:16:30Can he get it?

00:16:31Romeo.

00:16:32No!

00:16:34Good maneuver by Romeo.

00:16:35Cut him up.

00:16:36But look at that.

00:16:37Hand scissors.

00:16:38Take it over the top.

00:16:39And he'll make the tag.

00:16:40Both teams realize this is for it all.

00:16:42A chance to go to Jacksonville this coming Sunday.

00:16:45And a great kip up that time.

00:16:46A chance to go to the championship of the Cruiserweight Tag Team Tournament.

00:16:50DDT from Yang, but go behind full Nelson by Kidd.

00:16:55Look at that back drop by Yang.

00:16:57As you take both men on, stomped on the foot to break loose.

00:17:00Now sends Kid Romeo over.

00:17:02Yang walking up to the tenbuckle.

00:17:05His prime time in trouble.

00:17:07Yang now double teamed as Romeo nailed him in the back.

00:17:11And now from the left side corner.

00:17:16And Kidd wrapped him in the neck breaker on the way down.

00:17:18One, two, and a two count.

00:17:20And once again, tremendous double teaming by Romeo in prime time.

00:17:25Kidd back in.

00:17:27Sending prime time over.

00:17:29Rows him through.

00:17:30He comes out and kicks him in the left side of the head.

00:17:34But he did not see Romeo.

00:17:37No!

00:17:38There's his move.

00:17:39The last kiss.

00:17:40One, two, but he didn't win the match.

00:17:43We are watching four superior athletes at the top of their game.

00:17:47It's all about the Cruiserweight tag team title.

00:17:49What was that?

00:17:50Wow.

00:17:51One, two.

00:17:54The only thing that saved that was prime time.

00:17:56Grapevine the leg.

00:17:57Hit a Mitch and Oku driver on Kid Romeo.

00:18:00And that should have been a three count.

00:18:01Into the ropes.

00:18:02Watch out.

00:18:03Cross body.

00:18:04And both men upside.

00:18:05Bodies everywhere.

00:18:10Grabs the arm.

00:18:11Look at this one.

00:18:11Look at Kanz Hayashi.

00:18:13No, Romeo.

00:18:14Reversed it on him.

00:18:15Use his power.

00:18:16Spun around.

00:18:17Are you kidding?

00:18:17You use his power.

00:18:18They sent Romeo in.

00:18:19A leg cut down by Yang.

00:18:21Oh, and a back leg.

00:18:23Front kick.

00:18:24Square in the face.

00:18:25Yang's going up for Yankai.

00:18:28This is what got him into it.

00:18:30Into this matchup.

00:18:31Meanwhile, on the outside prime time and Kanz.

00:18:35Yang time.

00:18:36Nobody home.

00:18:38It's a bad time for Yang time.

00:18:40Romeo out of the way.

00:18:44The play of the day.

00:18:45He's the legal man.

00:18:47And he makes the one, two, three.

00:18:48They're going to advance.

00:18:50Prime time.

00:18:51And kid Romeo.

00:18:52What has to be considered an upset.

00:18:54The brand new team is in the finals.

00:18:57Sunday night at the Green Pay Per View.

00:18:59The play of the day was the difference in this one.

00:19:03But now, who will they face?

00:19:05Kibben and Mysterio or 3Kem?

00:19:07We'll find that out on Wednesday.

00:19:11Fame is the goal of every warrior who steps into the ring.

00:19:15Fortune is his reward for destroying all challengers.

00:19:19In the end, what they crave most is power.

00:19:24You cannot imagine what one man will do to stay on top.

00:19:28And how far the rest will go to bring him down.

00:19:30Until you order WCW Greed.

00:19:35Sunday, March 18th at 8 Eastern.

00:19:37Live and only on Pay Per View.

00:19:41It's WCW Road to Spring Breakout 2001.

00:19:54We made our stop at UT in Knoxville this past weekend

00:19:57on the road to Spring Breakout in two weeks, March 26th.

00:19:59We'll be coming to you live from the oceanfront of the

00:20:01Broad Rock Beach Resort in Panama City for WCW Spring Breakout 2001.

00:20:06If you'd like to join us in Panama City, log on to WCW.com for more information.

00:20:12Let's take you backstage once again.

00:20:14What's going on here?

00:20:16Jeff, I don't know, man.

00:20:17Leave the room for a second.

00:20:19God, everybody's breaking the weeds.

00:20:20I told you that really, Jeff.

00:20:22We'll find out.

00:20:24No, somebody hit her.

00:20:25It's me in front of her.

00:20:26Leave something.

00:20:27She's down like this.

00:20:28I didn't get to take my shower.

00:20:29I don't know what happened.

00:20:30Where were you doing?

00:20:31I was, where did the shower?

00:20:32But I didn't get back there.

00:20:33You just left.

00:20:34You just left her here.

00:20:35Just hang.

00:20:36Luger, where are you at?

00:20:38Where were you at?

00:20:39I got a max.

00:20:39Look, I got my gear on.

00:20:40I was just changing.

00:20:41I leave.

00:20:41We should come back like this.

00:20:43I didn't do it.

00:20:44I didn't touch her.

00:20:45You should have done it.

00:20:45Animal.

00:20:46Animal.

00:20:46Somebody did something.

00:20:47Somebody did something.

00:20:48Calm down, man.

00:20:49Oh, I leave.

00:20:50Somebody did something.

00:20:52Nobody touched her.

00:20:53Who touched her?

00:20:54Luger.

00:20:55Luger, I didn't like your answer.

00:20:56Who touched her?

00:20:57I changed.

00:20:58I changed.

00:20:59Bop.

00:21:00What are you doing?

00:21:00Is that Bop.

00:21:02What happened?

00:21:03The camera.

00:21:03I don't know.

00:21:04Is that the same camera as far?

00:21:06Is that the same camera?

00:21:07Yeah.

00:21:08You left?

00:21:08She was still rolling.

00:21:09The battery was dead.

00:21:10I left.

00:21:11Let's look at the tape.

00:21:11The tape's right there.

00:21:12Give me the tape.

00:21:12You got it.

00:21:13Get that tape.

00:21:14Let me see the tape.

00:21:14Settle down.

00:21:16Uncontrollable world champion.

00:21:18And they are gonna check the tape in the camcorder.

00:21:21Maybe then we'll find out the comfort of who attacked Madeja backstage.

00:21:26May not be anything more dangerous than Scott Steiner, the world champion on the loose.

00:21:30Just asked the Magnificent Seven.

00:21:32Team Canada on their way out of the way last Wednesday night on Thunder.

00:21:36Mike Awesome's interference led to this.

00:21:40The Maple Leaf.

00:21:41And Lance Storm got the one, two, three, or rather the submission on the K-Dog Conan.

00:21:46Revenge may come Sunday night at the Green Pay-Per-View.

00:21:49If I can be serious for a minute.

00:22:00I've noticed the further we get from the Canadian border, the lower the IQ of the crowd.

00:22:08So being this far south, I figure there's a good chance I've got a higher IQ than the whole front row combined.

00:22:20So let me keep this simple for you.

00:22:24All rise for the playing of the Canadian National Anthem.

00:22:30Needless to say, the fans in Knoxville, Tennessee have no appreciation for Lance Storm and his words nor his music.

00:22:40But as this scene comes to you here in the ring area, a very chaotic scene backstage.

00:22:48Scott Steiner so angry, Big Papa Pump, he's blaming his own teammates.

00:22:52I mean, he was with Ric Flair, so I guess he cannot accuse Flair.

00:22:56But what began as a documentary for Flair has really turned ugly backstage.

00:23:01What's on that tape?

00:23:03The tape in the camcorder.

00:23:05Will it shed any light on what happened to Manasia?

00:23:08Well, maestro, la musica, please.

00:23:11Hey, you two piece of Canadian bake-o-bits.

00:23:17You guys want to be a couple of wise guys?

00:23:19Well, me and John are going to take you back to the neighborhood.

00:23:22We're going to do it Italian style, and you ain't never going to talk about the USA again.

00:23:26We're going to kick your tails in, punks.

00:23:29Big Vito, Johnny the Bull, answering the call here in the Mamalooks.

00:23:36The former World Tag Team Champions against Team Canada in this next bout with you here on WCW.

00:23:43Monday Nitro, look at the Mamalooks go.

00:23:46And outside goes Lance Storm along with Big Vito.

00:23:49Don't ever sell the Mamalooks, join as a tag team.

00:23:51Big Vito and Johnny the Bull can go.

00:23:54They were World Tag Team Champions.

00:23:56And I think Team Canada may be guilty of working a little bit past tonight's opponents

00:24:02to Hugh Morris and Conan this Sunday night at the Green Pay Per View.

00:24:05There's no question Hugh Morris and Conan have more than an issue with Team Canada.

00:24:10But you cannot look past, as you said, Scott the Mamalooks, because Johnny the Bull,

00:24:14who has battled through so many injuries, especially a year ago.

00:24:18But the remarkable story is that Johnny the Bull came back very, very quickly.

00:24:22And he is in there with Awesome and Storm and a double running lariat by Team Canada.

00:24:29Who attacked Madeja?

00:24:31What happened backstage in the Nature Boss' dressing room?

00:24:35And will that tape shed any light on what happened?

00:24:39And you saw Scott Steiner.

00:24:40He was turning on his own friends, his own mates in the Magnificent Seven.

00:24:44He all but accused Ruger of being the moment.

00:24:49Johnny the Bull trying to drop kick on Lance Storm on the way down.

00:24:53He did connect almost at the time though.

00:24:55Lance Storm arrived at the match.

00:24:57Here comes Mike Austin.

00:24:59Down goes Big Vito.

00:25:00A hit of steam by Big Mike Austin.

00:25:03Runs over Big Vito on the other corner.

00:25:05Two big men tied up.

00:25:06Not too many men are bigger than Big Vito.

00:25:08But Awesome is that he just hit him with a corner splash.

00:25:11Awesome is just so strong.

00:25:13Take a look at his upper body, his arms, his chest.

00:25:16And he is so quick.

00:25:17He's tightly quick for a big man.

00:25:18Speaking of quickness, what about that from Big Vito?

00:25:21Through the foot, back to the net.

00:25:23He's got Awesome on the down.

00:25:26Just like he did it in South Beach.

00:25:28He's taken care of a couple of Canadians.

00:25:32Brings Johnny the Bull in.

00:25:34Double team now on Awesome and Lance Storm and down on the floor.

00:25:38Double team, oh, drives him down.

00:25:41Double team maneuver.

00:25:42The referee trying to get Johnny the Bull on the outside.

00:25:44Big Vito still in command.

00:25:46Awesome slowly getting to his feet.

00:25:48But Big Vito's there.

00:25:50Watch out, Storm.

00:25:51From the top of missile drop kick.

00:25:53Saved Awesome from the DDT by Vito.

00:25:56And now Mike Awesome.

00:25:59Here it comes.

00:25:59Could be that running Awesome Bomb.

00:26:01Can he muscle him up?

00:26:03Oh, look at this.

00:26:04Big Vito trying to fight it off.

00:26:05He got him up.

00:26:06He's still got him up.

00:26:07What power by Awesome.

00:26:09Tremendous strength displayed by Awesome.

00:26:11But look at Vito still fighting.

00:26:14A running Awesome Bomb.

00:26:16And he muscled the big guy from Staten Island up and down and three.

00:26:20Vito put up the good fight.

00:26:24Did everything he could to stay out of the running Awesome Bomb.

00:26:27But nobody gets out of that.

00:26:29Team Canada has defeated the Mamelukes.

00:26:32They will go to the great pay-per-view.

00:26:34Now come on.

00:26:35What good, now what do they have left to prove here?

00:26:39They have nothing left to prove here.

00:26:40Another running Awesome Bomb.

00:26:43Wait, no, not this.

00:26:45Not the Maple Leaf.

00:26:46Not the Canadian Maple Leaf.

00:26:48Oh, Hugh Morris.

00:26:49Hugh Morris to the ring.

00:26:51Conan, K-Dawb to the ring.

00:26:53Here are the teams.

00:26:54Here's the two men that will try to derail Team Canada this Sunday.

00:26:59They're trying to unify the locker room against fraternity that reigns at WCW.

00:27:04And right now, they're doing a good job of dismantling Team Canada.

00:27:08Team Canada's all gone.

00:27:10They've taken the counter.

00:27:12And Hugh Morris on end, on the front line of the battle that continues in World Championship Wrestling.

00:27:19We're coming back.

00:27:23Things are happening at a rapid pace here tonight with you on WCW Monday night throw.

00:27:28I'm here six days away from the green paper.

00:27:31Look at this.

00:27:32Look at this.

00:27:34Holy smokes.

00:27:36It's Stacy.

00:27:38She has come back into WCW.

00:27:41Formally not.

00:27:42We knew it was Miss Hancock.

00:27:44They have come back, I think.

00:27:46And Stacy Keebler.

00:27:47But Stacy has come back.

00:27:49We haven't seen her in a while.

00:27:51The last time she was pregnant.

00:27:54Well, obviously, she's delivered.

00:27:57I beg your pardon.

00:27:58She looks a lot different.

00:28:00Not the Stacy that we saw late last year.

00:28:04Well, she's very radiant.

00:28:08All smiles.

00:28:09Guys.

00:28:10Be careful with that.

00:28:11Be careful with that.

00:28:14Please be careful.

00:28:18I've come out here tonight because I have something to say to all you people.

00:28:24Now, since I've been gone, there's been a lot of changes that have happened in my life for the better.

00:28:30I'm not that same girl that left my fiancee standing at the altar.

00:28:35And I'm not the same girl that would do anything to anybody that got in my way.

00:28:40Because I've changed.

00:28:42And I've changed because of you people.

00:28:45All the cards and the letters that you sent me.

00:28:48It was overwhelming how much support and how much you guys really cared about me

00:28:53at a time that could have been difficult for me.

00:28:55But the other reason why I've changed is because of my baby.

00:29:00My baby has taught me to appreciate the things that are important to me in my life.

00:29:05And nothing's more important to me than him.

00:29:09So I wanted to thank all you people and tell you that I was okay.

00:29:13Hold on a second, honey.

00:29:14Mommy's almost done.

00:29:18But another thing, I want to introduce to each and every one of you

00:29:25My Newest Baby.

00:29:33What?

00:29:33Hang on.

00:29:34What?

00:29:35A baby gets an entrance?

00:29:36Her newest, Shawn Stasiak?

00:29:41What is going on?

00:29:42She says, I want to introduce you to my newest baby.

00:29:47What?

00:29:48I'm at a loss here.

00:29:49How do you explain this?

00:29:50Look, look at the clothes.

00:29:53Look at her face.

00:29:54Look at her face.

00:29:55Radiant.

00:29:58This raises so many questions.

00:30:00Oh, my goodness.

00:30:11Wait a minute here.

00:30:12What?

00:30:13Somebody.

00:30:14No.

00:30:16No.

00:30:16Somebody's got some splating to do.

00:30:22Shut up.

00:30:23Listen and learn.

00:30:32Only a man like me could have a woman like this.

00:30:37Mecca, why don't you show them how you rock my world?

00:30:42Absolutely, sweetheart.

00:30:44Hit the music.

00:30:47Whoa.

00:30:49Hang on.

00:30:49Yeah, is Stacy all right?

00:30:55No question about that.

00:30:57And look at the Mecca manhood.

00:30:59Showing the abs, showing the physique.

00:31:02But I don't think anybody's looking at him right now.

00:31:03What is happening?

00:31:05Stacy comes out with the carriage.

00:31:09It says her baby has taught her so many things.

00:31:12And then Stacy, I don't know.

00:31:16Wow.

00:31:17Sweetheart, you are looking good tonight.

00:31:19But Stacy, I think it's time to reveal to the world our little secret.

00:31:25It's time to show everybody our little pride and joy.

00:31:27Be careful now.

00:31:34It's okay.

00:31:35It's all right.

00:31:36It's all right.

00:31:37Get out of the way.

00:31:41Okay, do you think we should show everybody?

00:31:43I think so.

00:31:47Isn't that the most adorable thing you've ever seen?

00:31:49He looks just like me.

00:31:54Now, hang on a minute.

00:31:57But because I love you fans so much right here tonight,

00:32:04it's your lucky night.

00:32:13Pictures for everyone.

00:32:15You can have mine.

00:32:18I'm sure a lot of fans would echo those sentiments.

00:32:20You see, it just goes to show that you can catch a babe like this

00:32:24when you're Shawn the Star Stasiak.

00:32:28And none of you people will ever know what it's like to be me.

00:32:31Because everybody's got absolutely zero going for them.

00:32:36Especially since I look out to each and every one of your faces.

00:32:40I see nothing but fat, disgusting, ball-headed, toothless, tattooed losers.

00:32:48Uh-oh.

00:32:52Wait a minute.

00:32:53It's gonna be a late wedding gift.

00:32:55Speaking of tattoos, but not speaking of losers.

00:32:59Here's one of the biggest and baddest in all of WCW.

00:33:04It's the beat from the East.

00:33:05I don't think he's got best wishes.

00:33:07Well, Stasiak, you got a problem with fat,

00:33:11bald, tattooed up people even with some teeth missing?

00:33:16You don't have a problem.

00:33:17You got a problem with me.

00:33:19Because if you want to call these people zeros, you call me a zero.

00:33:25They want to be fat, bald.

00:33:27Well, that's my category.

00:33:29So if you got a problem, we'll straighten this out right now.

00:33:32As we are, step aside.

00:33:37Wait a second.

00:33:38Oh.

00:33:39Trying to run him over with a baby carriage.

00:33:40Now, we've seen just about everything.

00:33:42But the beat from the East.

00:33:43Wouldn't buy anybody now.

00:33:44Upside goes Shawn, the star, Stasiak, the mecha manhood, and Stasiak.

00:33:53Come on, baby boy, I hurt your face.

00:33:55Huh?

00:33:56You bring your girlfriend Sunday at the pay-per-view, and we're gonna show

00:34:00exactly what a zero can do.

00:34:05Sunday, pretty boy.

00:34:07Sunday, bring that pretty face.

00:34:10Challenge laid down by the beast from the East.

00:34:16Bam, bam, Bigelow for Sunday night at the Greed Pay-Per-View.

00:34:23Paulina, the star, the mecha manhood, Shawn Stasiak, the pretty boy.

00:34:29He has Stasiak by his side, and the challenge now made for the Greed Pay-Per-View this Sunday.

00:34:35I guess Sunday night, Shawn, the star, Stasiak with Stasiak will face off with the beast from the East.

00:34:42Bam, bam, Bigelow.

00:34:43That was the challenge laid down.

00:34:45But when are we gonna get answers?

00:34:46There are millions of questions coming out of this one, Tony.

00:34:49Millions of questions about Madeja as well.

00:34:52We understand we are getting some developments in the backstage area.

00:34:56We're following this story all tonight.

00:34:58Let's go backstage right now and see what's going on with Madeja.

00:35:02Scott Steiner, Magnificent Seven.

00:35:05We'll see if you're queued up, Bob.

00:35:09Exhibit A, put it in.

00:35:10Where is it?

00:35:13What's this?

00:35:16I got an idea how you can kill two times.

00:35:19I got a minute.

00:35:22He is so great.

00:35:23He is a bit natural.

00:35:24You talking about Alexa, right?

00:35:25Fuck.

00:35:26I'm hitting the showers, guys.

00:35:27Jeff, come on.

00:35:28We're set out the night off.

00:35:29It's a documentary.

00:35:30Where are you going?

00:35:32Wow.

00:35:33He's hot.

00:35:34I got to go collect some money.

00:35:35I got to book you.

00:35:36Hey, you too.

00:35:37You've been winning, huh?

00:35:38Hey, Joe.

00:35:39Make sure you get out of there, all right?

00:35:40Don't trip there.

00:35:41See you, Rick.

00:35:42So, Joe, stick around a little bit.

00:35:44No, no, no.

00:35:46Come on.

00:35:46Yeah, I got to touch up my paint.

00:35:48Forget it.

00:35:48Animal.

00:35:49Everybody's leaving.

00:35:50Everybody's leaving, man.

00:35:51Everybody's leaving.

00:35:52And you know what?

00:35:53I'm next.

00:35:54I got to wait for a match.

00:35:55Come on.

00:35:55Where are you going?

00:35:56I got to wait for a match.

00:35:56I got to get dressed.

00:35:57Luger.

00:35:58Business.

00:35:58Come on.

00:35:59It's a documentary.

00:36:00I'll be right back.

00:36:01All right.

00:36:02Well, Madeja, I've got to ask you.

00:36:04How does it feel to be back?

00:36:05Documentary.

00:36:06Tell them.

00:36:06Tell the camera.

00:36:07It feels really good to be back.

00:36:08Oh, wait, wait, wait.

00:36:09Hold on.

00:36:09I'm sorry, darling.

00:36:10I'm sorry.

00:36:11The battery.

00:36:11I need a new battery.

00:36:12Let me lay it down.

00:36:13Give me two minutes and we'll finish this documentary.

00:36:15Okay?

00:36:15Two minutes.

00:36:16Okay?

00:36:16Okay.

00:36:16Hang tight.

00:36:17Hang tight.

00:36:18I'll be right back.

00:36:18Okay.

00:36:19You look great, by the way.

00:36:20Thank you, man.

00:36:31I said give me something with something on it and they don't show me nothing.

00:36:38You got something out of here.

00:36:39Come on.

00:36:40Listen to yourself.

00:36:41Now listen.

00:36:42I leave and something happens to them.

00:36:44They didn't show me nothing.

00:36:44None of us.

00:36:45We're a team.

00:36:46You're a team in a documentary and they didn't show me nothing.

00:36:48We're going to help you find out.

00:36:50Just calm down.

00:36:50Just tell him.

00:36:51Yeah, way to go, Bob.

00:36:54The hell did you show something?

00:36:55Listen, Red.

00:36:56Jamp, Jamp, Jamp, Jamp.

00:36:56Listen.

00:36:57It's a bad moment.

00:36:57I know, but hey, just a minute.

00:36:58Remember the guy I talked about earlier?

00:37:00Yeah.

00:37:00Two birds.

00:37:00Showed him.

00:37:02Booker teeth out of the ring.

00:37:03All right.

00:37:03Oh, listen.

00:37:04Luger, back me up.

00:37:05No.

00:37:05No, no, no.

00:37:06Where?

00:37:07Watch it.

00:37:08I don't trust any of you guys.

00:37:09Oh.

00:37:10Come on, Scotty.

00:37:17As mentioned earlier,

00:37:18rumor had it that the new owners of WCW may show up here tonight.

00:37:24We have seats reserved for them and security standing by,

00:37:27but still no one in the seats, Scott.

00:37:31The story was they were going to be here tonight.

00:37:32I haven't seen them yet, but they're missing a heck of a show.

00:37:35So, who are they?

00:37:37The question, where are they?

00:37:40Maybe we'll find out before this telecast is over.

00:37:43Maybe we'll find out what happened to the occasion before this telecast is over.

00:37:47Because the footage that we saw from the backstage, the players camcorder,

00:37:50they were watching the replay, didn't give any clues at all.

00:37:53Booker T is back, being on the shelf at the hands of Big Papa Pum, Scott Steiner, nothing.

00:38:03Oh, he's going to slow down the former World Heavyweight Champion.

00:38:08Looks in the best shape of his career.

00:38:10He looks awesome. He always does.

00:38:14Always in spectacular shape.

00:38:16And of course, he was involved in a big match 20 weeks ago.

00:38:19It was last Monday night on Nitro.

00:38:23Booker T and Scott Steiner, it went all over.

00:38:26But when it went to the back, Scott Steiner had lured Booker into a trap.

00:38:30The Magnificent Seven put a magnificent mugging on Booker T.

00:38:35And of course, that left Diamond Dallas Page all alone a week ago.

00:38:43Well, Booker T comes out here.

00:38:46Now, we heard right at the end of the footage from Flair's documentary

00:38:50camcorder that he said, Ric Flair said, two birds with one stone,

00:38:55he informed Scott Steiner that Booker T is coming out next.

00:38:58What did he mean by that?

00:38:59I don't know.

00:39:00Some devious plan, or obviously more than one,

00:39:04but some devious plan thanks to the boss, Ric Flair, going down.

00:39:07And you'll notice that that was the one thing that actually got Scott Steiner

00:39:11distracted from his rampage about what happened to Medesha.

00:39:15The minute Flair mentioned two for one,

00:39:19Scott Steiner immediately came right back into Big Papa Pump mode.

00:39:24The fact is, Flair with this documentary tonight,

00:39:26the rumor of the new owner showing up here at Rigside.

00:39:29Once again, Flair and his power tips, his posturing in the face of-

00:39:33Kill that music.

00:39:34Kill that music.

00:39:35Of new ownership.

00:39:50You know, I've been back in WCW for a few weeks now.

00:39:55It feels real, real good.

00:40:01It feels so good.

00:40:04You know, Ric Flair and the Steiner, you know,

00:40:07they already gave me a surprise party just last week on Nitro.

00:40:12And you know, I came right here tonight in Knoxville, Tennessee.

00:40:24God's country.

00:40:26I came here for one reason only.

00:40:28One good turn deserves another.

00:40:31You know, I concentrated on Scottie Steiner so much, I forgot about all the player haters in the back.

00:40:42So I'm gonna say it like this here.

00:40:45No matter whether it's Jeff Jarrett, Steiner Brothers, you know, filthy animals, even you, Ric Flair.

00:40:53You old ancient, antique, decrepit old buzzard.

00:40:58I tell you like this here, tonight, I'm gonna stay in this ring until somebody bring their ass out here to get it whooped.

00:41:09Sounds like an open challenge.

00:41:18Uh-oh.

00:41:19I think we have an answer.

00:41:20Yeah, and he's going nowhere.

00:41:22The answer in the form of the heavyweight champion of the world.

00:41:27Now, Booker T has a chance on Sonny to become the United States champion against Ric Steiner at the Green Pay-Per-View.

00:41:34But here comes his brother, the world champion.

00:41:37And his arch enemy as well.

00:41:42Look at the face.

00:41:43Cut the music.

00:41:46Hey, Booker T, I heard you want a little payback, a little revenge.

00:41:53Well, that's already been arranged.

00:41:59Tonight, you're gonna face one of us.

00:42:02Wait a minute.

00:42:06Hang on a minute.

00:42:07Is that any way to treat the world champion?

00:42:12Where is he?

00:42:13Where at?

00:42:14I hear DDP's beautiful.

00:42:15There he comes.

00:42:16Great Saints.

00:42:22Diamond Dallas Page staring at Steiner.

00:42:27Calling out to the fans.

00:42:29People's champion.

00:42:34Hey, Steiner.

00:42:36Over here.

00:42:38Do you think this is gonna go down without me?

00:42:40I don't think so.

00:42:46Hey, Paige, I'm sorry.

00:42:49All you white trash blended in so well.

00:42:51Can you do some jumping jacks or something?

00:42:53I can't see you.

00:42:56I can see you fine, Super Geek.

00:42:58People like you really suck.

00:43:03And I, and I mean really suck.

00:43:15Cat got your tongue?

00:43:18Yo, Steiner.

00:43:18You made your bed.

00:43:21Why aren't you lying?

00:43:22And who is it gonna be, me or DDP?

00:43:26No, no, no, no.

00:43:28Tonight, the, tonight, the champ takes the day off.

00:43:37Don't figure.

00:43:37You scared me.

00:43:38But Paige, I even forgot about you.

00:43:43You're gonna face one of the toughest son of the bitches next to me.

00:43:47And that's my own flesh and blood.

00:43:50But he's not only gonna pin you, he's gonna torch you enough so you make it to Sunday.

00:43:57Now cut Paige's music off.

00:43:59I don't wanna listen to him no more.

00:44:01Two, one, two.

00:44:03Oh yeah, and if you interfere with Booker T's match, you'll forfeit your title shot.

00:44:12So like I said, Steiner, who is it gonna be?

00:44:16Who you got for me back there?

00:44:17Send me somebody out here, because I wanna whoop somebody's ass in Knoxville.

00:44:22Wait a minute, it's Lex Luthor.

00:44:30No!

00:44:32It's the- That's your match tonight!

00:44:35The total package from behind.

00:44:38And Scott Steiner told DDP if he interferes, he doesn't have the match on Sunday.

00:44:44DDP could forfeit his shot at the world title just like that by interfering in this matchup.

00:44:49And Booker T made the cardinal mistake of turning his back on other parts of the building and

00:44:55focusing on Steiner.

00:44:57And Luger from behind.

00:44:59Typical magnificent seven, Steiner.

00:45:04From behind the total package, there is no referee in the ring at all.

00:45:09This is an impromptu battle.

00:45:11Rock got him racked up, and now Mickie J through the ropes.

00:45:14Call him for the bell.

00:45:20Wait a minute.

00:45:21Submarine attack on Booker T and Lex Luger.

00:45:24The call for the bell, Luger celebrating, and Mickie J saying, wait a minute, no.

00:45:30Apparently this match, what's going on here?

00:45:32What is he, what does Mickie J do?

00:45:35Wait a minute.

00:45:36That was to start the match.

00:45:37Yes, it was the opening bell.

00:45:39Oh, Luger's furious.

00:45:40Booker T's having some time to recover.

00:45:44That was the opening bell, and the match now starts officially.

00:45:48And Luger, in the midst of a torture act, thought it was over.

00:45:52But the former world champion Booker T, trying to get back to his feet.

00:45:58Luger.

00:45:59That's what you're going to face this Sunday night at the Green Pay-Per-View.

00:46:08Your United States title is perilously clinging to your fingers right now.

00:46:13Luger sends him into the turnbuckle pants,

00:46:15and giving Booker T ample time for a defense.

00:46:20The kick to the face.

00:46:22Luger thought he won with the rack.

00:46:24But the match had just started.

00:46:27DDP's got a match later tonight.

00:46:30Here's the cover, one, two, no, two count.

00:46:33Later tonight, against Rick Steiner.

00:46:35In a one-on-one matchup, and you know what that's about.

00:46:38Just what Scott Steiner said to torture DDP.

00:46:41Come here six days before the Green Pay-Per-View.

00:46:45What we've got, Scott Steiner and Ric Flair and the entire Magnificent Seven trying to

00:46:51injure Booker T before the Green Pay-Per-View this Sunday night.

00:46:55But that plan is not going too well right now.

00:46:58Look at those chops on Luger.

00:47:00Booker T looks better than ever, but ooh, look at the wave.

00:47:03You know what's weird about all this, Scott?

00:47:05It's amazing this plan to come to fruition with all the disparity and all the problems

00:47:11the Magnificent Seven are having in the backstage area.

00:47:14With Medesha and the accusations from Scott Steiner.

00:47:17It's amazing they can come together for this, but it's worked so far.

00:47:21Luger from behind, Scott Steiner with the stipulations, making the challenges, and the

00:47:27match still to come as well as this one here between two of the greats, the total package

00:47:32and Booker T.

00:47:32That's how intense it's getting in World Championship Wrestling.

00:47:37Six days outside the Green Pay-Per-View.

00:47:39Many titles at stake.

00:47:40Luger on top.

00:47:41Booker T rolled a shoulder at two.

00:47:43Booker T may become United States Heavyweight Champion.

00:47:47Lex Luger and his partner Buff Bagwell may become World Tag Team Champions Sunday night.

00:47:53And Diamond Dallas Page may forfeit his world title shot Sunday if he interferes in this one.

00:47:59On cover, we get a two and only a two count.

00:48:01And a blink there by the total package that maybe this match should be over.

00:48:08We head headlong into the Green Pay-Per-View this coming Sunday in Jacksonville.

00:48:14What's gonna happen on one what should be memorable night?

00:48:18We could see new world, new US champ.

00:48:21Here's a cover, one, two, one, a two count.

00:48:24Could see new World Tag Team champ.

00:48:26Possibly a new Cruiserweight champ.

00:48:28Our first ever Cruiserweight Tag Team champ.

00:48:30And then Dusty Rhodes on one side of the ring.

00:48:33Ric Flair on the other.

00:48:34Oh, what a night this Sunday's gonna be.

00:48:36Look out, Booker.

00:48:37He's firing back.

00:48:39Luger walked into the corner.

00:48:41But Luger with a knee stops.

00:48:43The advances of Booker T.

00:48:46Booker took everything Luger had to offer and fought back up.

00:48:50But Luger, remember he has that steel plate in his right forearm.

00:48:55Just waffle Booker T in the back now into the surfboard.

00:48:57Surfboard maneuver punctuated by that knee right between the shoulder blades.

00:49:04Pulling back hard on the arms.

00:49:05Did you see Luger?

00:49:07Luger flexing his pecs while employing the surfboard.

00:49:10That's egotism and that runs rampant in the Magnificent Seven.

00:49:14Speaking of great pecs, great upper body development.

00:49:17Here comes Booker T, the former World Champion.

00:49:19Back to a sweep, a surge of energy, standing, trying to power out of it.

00:49:24Luger caught him in the gut again with a knee.

00:49:26And then a forearm, a shiver in the face.

00:49:29Sending Booker T to the left side.

00:49:31He leaped over, one, two.

00:49:33And a little package came out of it.

00:49:36Here he comes.

00:49:37Booker stole his feet with the right hand.

00:49:41Into the corner, Booker T balancing up, rolling over.

00:49:44He's got a pinning combination now.

00:49:47Booker T has to know he is in the crosshairs of the Magnificent Seven.

00:49:54First and foremost, along with Diamond Dallas Page.

00:49:57And of course, the motive is, anyone that would stand between Ric Flair and

00:50:02absolute power are to be taken completely out before the new owners arrive at WCW.

00:50:10Will they arrive here tonight?

00:50:11Chairs are still empty.

00:50:12You're right.

00:50:13Six already for it.

00:50:14Booker T countered with the Vertical Suplex.

00:50:18The total package hit very hard to look.

00:50:20Booker T trying to get to his feet here.

00:50:23Missing in the total package.

00:50:25Booker T.

00:50:26Got him, Hunt's double.

00:50:29Booker T is brought back.

00:50:30There's an axe kick from adversity throughout his career and throughout this match.

00:50:36And he's still as good as ever.

00:50:37Look at this intensity.

00:50:39Go!

00:50:40The Harlem sidekick.

00:50:43There's the high side.

00:50:45Might be time for the bookend.

00:50:50He'll send Luger, no, he will not.

00:50:52Maybe he will.

00:50:53Bookend.

00:50:54Bookend, down one, and two, and three.

00:50:58Don't hate the play-up.

00:51:00Booker T has defeated Lex Luger.

00:51:02Wait a minute, Rick Steiner, the US champion with a chair.

00:51:05No, he missed.

00:51:07Booker T's not done.

00:51:09But he's got two men in the ring.

00:51:11Steiner will defend that US title this Sunday against Booker and Greed.

00:51:15He's going for it again.

00:51:17Yeah.

00:51:17He calls that now, Scott, the ghetto blaster.

00:51:20We're gonna have a new use.

00:51:21Wait a minute, Luger.

00:51:22Man.

00:51:24That's the plan, soften him up before he goes into the match with Rick Steiner Sunday night

00:51:30at the great pay-per-view.

00:51:32Hit him at point blank range with a steel chair.

00:51:35Oh, what's he gonna do now?

00:51:36Can anyone help Booker?

00:51:38Oh, the Steiner driver.

00:51:40Where's Payne?

00:51:41If Payne comes in.

00:51:43If he comes out.

00:51:43Oh, wait a minute.

00:51:45It's the Cats, the music of Ernest Miller, the Cats.

00:51:49No problem with this one.

00:51:50The former commissioner is in the ring, and oh, is he clearing out?

00:51:54The cat has come in.

00:51:56Booker T, as you can see, still helpless.

00:51:58Not even moving really on the apron of the ring.

00:52:01But now the cat cannot take on both men.

00:52:05The cat, yes, he can.

00:52:06Yes, he can.

00:52:09They both went down.

00:52:10Oh, front kick, drove Steiner back.

00:52:12Back kick into the gut, doubled up Luger.

00:52:15The cat against both men.

00:52:18The double up.

00:52:19Oh, no.

00:52:20Sicko itself.

00:52:21This maniac.

00:52:22This sushi.

00:52:23Oh, God.

00:52:24The flat liner wipes the cat out.

00:52:28Canyon, the sickest one of them all is in.

00:52:30They're gonna meet head up Sunday night.

00:52:32Canyon and the cat after what Canyon did to Miss Jones.

00:52:36Now look at this three on one.

00:52:37Not if Canyon isn't able to do with it, Scott.

00:52:40They're gonna try to take the cat completely out right now.

00:52:45Sends the cat on the outside.

00:52:46Canyon's not done.

00:52:47Booker, Booker has not moved.

00:52:49Booker has been injured, I think.

00:52:51He hasn't moved since an earlier attack.

00:52:53Man, come on.

00:52:55A flat liner on the floor.

00:52:57Whoa.

00:52:57The Cavalry's here.

00:53:01Well, they're just trying to get through the crowd.

00:53:03Oh, here's the music.

00:53:04There he is.

00:53:05Payne, wielding a chair, but it's too late.

00:53:08He's too late.

00:53:09The damage has been done.

00:53:11I'm worried about these two, Booker and the cat.

00:53:13Yeah, so is Judy Payne.

00:53:15We're down at Redside.

00:53:17Diamond Jealous Payne, fighting his way through the band with a chair in his hand.

00:53:24Could not get there in time.

00:53:26What condition are the cannon cooker in?

00:53:28We're coming right back.

00:53:29Well, looks like Flair is obliging the champ.

00:53:34Helms is going to work tonight.

00:53:36We understand he's going to work Wednesday night on Thunder.

00:53:38And Chavo's got both nights off.

00:53:40Well, that's typical Chavo Guerrero.

00:53:42Having other people fight his battles for him.

00:53:45But Sunday night, oh!

00:53:47And Shane Helms is up to the challenge.

00:53:49Shane will be ready when we get to the great pay-per-view in six days in Jacksonville.

00:53:55Former tag team partners here.

00:53:56One time, of course, with Shannon Moore.

00:53:58All three men made up the team of three count.

00:54:01Now three count and two, of course.

00:54:03As we talked about earlier, Shannon and Evan Courageous.

00:54:06Shannon and Courageous, of course, will go in to Wednesday night to face Kidman and Ray.

00:54:11The winner of that tag team match will go on to face Romeo in prime time.

00:54:16Oh, look at this.

00:54:16For the Cruiserweight Tag Team Championship in the world.

00:54:19Oh, look at this.

00:54:20Oh!

00:54:21Exploding out of the corner.

00:54:23Shane Helms.

00:54:24Sugar Shane taking the full measure here of Evan Courageous.

00:54:28Rocking Courageous.

00:54:29Sending in at least attempting to.

00:54:31Courageous turning around though.

00:54:34It's enough power bomb in midair and a two count.

00:54:37Evan Courageous in 48 hours will participate in the semifinals of the Cruiserweight Tag Team

00:54:43Tournament.

00:54:44If he gets injured in this one, and he may very well, by ignoring his opponent with that

00:54:49driving the Cadillac stuff and showboating.

00:54:52Oh, concentrate on your opponent.

00:54:54If you can after that shot.

00:54:55From the top and a cover area.

00:54:57And referee Scott James says no, only a two count to Sugar Shane Helms.

00:55:01Once again, we will follow as best we can.

00:55:04The injury update of Booker T and the Cat in the backstage area.

00:55:07Look at this from the top.

00:55:09Landing on his feet now was Courageous showing his power.

00:55:12Evan Courageous and he tries him down.

00:55:14What a great series of moves by Courageous to get Sugar Shane off his feet.

00:55:19Shane rolled over onto his stomach.

00:55:21Evan pulled him back.

00:55:23Only a two count that time on Shane Helms.

00:55:26Evan Courageous already in the face of the referee Scott James.

00:55:28Am I to understand, Tony, from what you said earlier?

00:55:31That Booker T and the Cat have only refused medical attention.

00:55:35They refused to leave the building to go to a hospital.

00:55:37That's the way they are.

00:55:38They know that later on, Diamond Dallas Page will go in the ring against Rick Steiner.

00:55:43He's going for the vertebrae right now.

00:55:45It was countered by Evan Courageous.

00:55:48Forward roll.

00:55:49Good 10, 1, 2, but no, not good enough.

00:55:52Only a two count.

00:55:52Sugar Shane ducks, but couldn't get out of the way of the back elbow that time

00:55:57from Evan Courageous.

00:55:58You know the plan by Chavo Jr. may work here, 1 and 2,

00:56:03because right now Evan Courageous is pushing Sugar Shane to the limit.

00:56:07He gets pushed here.

00:56:08Don't know how long it's going to go.

00:56:10And then Wednesday night, and Chavo's got some off days.

00:56:13Fans were inside of a week from the great pay-per-view.

00:56:17Snap suplex by Evan Courageous.

00:56:19These men know each other.

00:56:21One year as members of Three Count before the implosion.

00:56:25You know, like any great band, they end up breaking up,

00:56:27and that's what happened to Three Count.

00:56:28Although, I don't remember John, Paul, George, or Ringo getting in the ring with each other.

00:56:32Well, they may have.

00:56:35They'd still be together today in the midsection.

00:56:39Fighting for all he's worth is Sugar Shane, but Evan Courageous is all over him.

00:56:44What do you call Evan Courageous?

00:56:45Mr. Offense here drops him down frontside.

00:56:48He is taking the measure of Shane's health.

00:56:51I think Evan is making a statement that maybe he should be the number one contender.

00:56:55Kidman and Mysterio should be watching this.

00:56:57Shane, though, back up top, has him across the knee.

00:57:04Forehead first, swinging that brick of that time out of the left side corner.

00:57:08The innovator of offense, Shane Helms,

00:57:14can strike at any moment with any degree of authority.

00:57:18Just ask Evan, who thought he had it going his way, but Evan is right back in his face.

00:57:22Fans, as we bring you this action, we have to wonder

00:57:25the story of the attack, the mysterious attack on Madagia.

00:57:30What's going on there anymore?

00:57:31Updates!

00:57:32Sugar smacked.

00:57:34And smacked him, he did.

00:57:35One, two, a lot of accusations, a lot of men within the Magnificent Seven under suspicion

00:57:43as far as Big Papa Pump's concerned.

00:57:45And of course, still to come, Rick Steiner will face Diamond Dallas Page in this telecast.

00:57:51Well, they're under suspicion by Big Papa Pump's Scott Steiner.

00:57:54Good move by Courageous, front side and then back side.

00:57:58Dropping is Sugar Shane on the back of his head.

00:58:01Courageous will go for the 10, but he'll only get a two.

00:58:06Only a two, Campbell.

00:58:06Shane Helms has really felt the brunt of this flurry.

00:58:12This offense by Courageous bleating chokehold in front of the referee, taking the wind supply

00:58:17out, and you can see right now that Sugar Shane's got to dig down deep here, Scott.

00:58:21He has spent, and he hits him with yet another offensive maneuver.

00:58:25Well, Evan Courageous, you can see at times, not going for the pin when he maybe should.

00:58:29He just wants to injure Shane and maybe get a little extra jack from Chavo Jr.

00:58:34This should be it.

00:58:35A spinning one, two, no, and a two count.

00:58:40What tenacity displayed by Sugar Shane Helms.

00:58:44Evan thought that should have been the three count.

00:58:46Well, we've got one of two count in there right now, but not the one that matters.

00:58:52Spinning corkscrew type splash from the top.

00:58:55Wait a minute.

00:58:56He's got him caught.

00:58:57He's gonna try to pick him up, but no.

00:58:59What a counter.

00:59:00It could be.

00:59:00It's a nightmare on Helm Street.

00:59:02It's been a great counter it was, Scott.

00:59:05He said to call it a Monday Nitro Nightmare on Helm Street, and that's what we saw.

00:59:10Just ask Evan.

00:59:13He just called for the vertebrae breaker.

00:59:15If he hits this, no one's kicked out of it yet.

00:59:18Can he maneuver him up?

00:59:19Got the arms hooked.

00:59:20There you see it spins over.

00:59:22Evan trying to fight it off, but he's hooked on the back.

00:59:25Oh, wow.

00:59:26What a move that is.

00:59:28Trying to move.

00:59:29Every vertebrae in the spine.

00:59:31It's academic.

00:59:31It's over.

00:59:33If he gets Chavo in the vertebrae breaker, he'll win it.

00:59:37But the question is, will he make it there 100% because he must wrestle.

00:59:42Speak of the devil.

00:59:43Here he is.

00:59:44Here is Chavo Jr.

00:59:47After that matchup, Chavo has the stones to come in here and come on.

00:59:52Brain buster.

00:59:54And Chavo doesn't even have to wrestle tonight.

00:59:56Yeah, what a real tough guy Chavo is.

00:59:59What a great champion.

01:00:00What a great role model.

01:00:01Sunday night.

01:00:04Hedging his bet is what he's doing.

01:00:06You're right.

01:00:07For Sunday night and the Green Pay Per View.

01:00:12Remember, Sugar Shane's got a match Wednesday.

01:00:15Chavo has the night off.

01:00:17But tonight, Diamond Dallas Page and Rick Steiner will go at it one on one.

01:00:26You heard the challenge.

01:00:28It'll go down tonight.

01:00:29Here on WCW Monday Nitro.

01:00:32And we'll be back after this timeout.

01:00:37And next week, we come to you from Gainesville, Florida, where you can catch all the weekend's action from the University of Florida on the road to Spring Breakout.

01:00:44We make our way to Panama City in the Boardwalk Beach Resort for Spring Breakout 2001 on Monday the 26th of March.

01:00:50Well, we understand, fans, that our security camera backstage has picked up something else.

01:00:56Let's check in with that.

01:00:59Hey, Disco.

01:01:03Well, hey, Smooth.

01:01:04Hey, you got a match with Canyon tonight?

01:01:06Yeah, I do.

01:01:07Well, brother, things have changed.

01:01:10Smooth's gonna take your match with Canyon because it's payback time.

01:01:14Hey, that's pretty funny.

01:01:16I'll tell you what.

01:01:17Instead, why don't I take the match with Canyon?

01:01:19You keep that limo warm outside and give me a ride back to the hotel when I'm done.

01:01:26What do you want?

01:01:27You don't understand.

01:01:29This is not personal.

01:01:33This is business, Disco.

01:01:40What courage by Smooth, a man after what happened Wednesday,

01:01:43should be in a hospital bed for that one punch.

01:01:46What courage, he's here tonight and knocked Disco right out.

01:01:49Can you believe the security camera?

01:01:51World Championship Wrestling, there's nowhere to hide.

01:01:54Everything is open to inspection backstage now with these security cameras they've put up.

01:01:59I like it.

01:02:00I do too, Scott.

01:02:01Still to come tonight, Diamond at Dallas Page will face a dog-faced gremlin, Rick Steiner,

01:02:06on this telecast.

01:02:07A lot of questions about what happened to Medeja.

01:02:09Still unanswered.

01:02:10Hopefully, we'll get those answered as well here tonight.

01:02:13But, Scott, Dusty Rhodes and Dustin Rhodes, this coming Sunday, at the Green Paper Review,

01:02:18will face Jeff Jarrett and the Nature Boy, Rick Flair, and a very special added stipulation as well to that matchup.

01:02:24Dusty Rhodes, let's say, very proud of his posterior.

01:02:26And how many people may have had to kiss it over the years.

01:02:30Well, he wants one more.

01:02:32Make it two.

01:02:32He wants Rick Flair and Jeff Jarrett to pucker up and plant one in Jacksonville next Sunday night.

01:02:39If Dusty and Dustin come out on top of the match against Jarrett and Flair,

01:02:43they've got to pucker up to the American dream.

01:02:46Excitement plots last week when Dusty Rhodes walked out here.

01:02:50Here's some comments from Dusty and Dustin recorded one week ago.

01:02:54They made a challenge.

01:02:58What do you say we take my truck or yours?

01:03:01But I know you got one good silver dollar left in you.

01:03:04What do you say we take it down to Jacksonville at Greed?

01:03:07Yeah, I'll tell you what I say about it.

01:03:09It's what I said out there, and you know that when I get steady in my eye.

01:03:12When you talk about, you know, going to and, you know, what Greed is all about is money.

01:03:18What Greed is with the Nature Boy, Rick Flair, and with Jeff Jarrett is money.

01:03:22They went ahead and made the opportunity to try to draw me out, old man that he is.

01:03:25And I give you my word.

01:03:26I just came from happening for me, and I gave you my word.

01:03:31So my word is, and remember this, that when we do beat Jeff Jarrett and the Nature Boy,

01:03:38Rick Flair, for all the entertaining that they did for us on my behalf, I will pull down my pants.

01:03:46I will bend over and Flair will kiss my big pimply white ass.

01:03:54Rick, after watching that, we've humiliated those guys.

01:03:56We've gotten to them.

01:03:58You know, usually you'd be ranting, raving, hollering, screaming, but not today.

01:04:01Because when we get to Greed, you're going to have the chosen one as your partner.

01:04:04And Jeff, I'm so excited to know that I'm going to be in Jacksonville, Florida,

01:04:09with the chosen one, in the big coliseum there, at Greed against Dusty Rhodes and his son,

01:04:16Dusty, to know that I'm going to walk that out with the chosen one, with the Nature Boy,

01:04:20side by side, you and me.

01:04:22I know I'm calm.

01:04:23I'm really excited.

01:04:24Like all the time.

01:04:25Because Dusty Rhodes has sent word around the country that if he beats us,

01:04:29I'm going to kiss his ass.

01:04:31It ain't going to happen yet.

01:04:32I'm calm, brother.

01:04:33I'm cool.

01:04:34I'm telling you that after we beat Rhodes and his son, he's going to kiss my ass.

01:04:39Like everybody in this company does.

01:04:41Thank you very much.

01:04:44What a match that's going to be this coming Sunday.

01:04:46We cannot wait.

01:04:47And fans, tonight, the Dogface Gremlin, Rick Steiner, on Diamond Dallas Page.

01:04:52We'll hook it up in our feature bout.

01:04:55That and a whole lot more to come as we continue on Monday Nitro.

01:04:59It's been a very exciting and in the same breath intriguing night.

01:05:05With the six days now leading up to the green pay-per-view.

01:05:08Someone backstage apparently trying to destroy Ric Flair's troops.

01:05:13The accusations, flying, that is it.

01:05:16And it could be from within.

01:05:18Those accusations from Big Papa Pump himself.

01:05:22And you can accuse this man of being a nut.

01:05:25And you would be exactly right.

01:05:26Here comes Canyon.

01:05:28He's a sociopath.

01:05:30He's a fruitcake.

01:05:32He absolutely had a heck of a week in his own mind.

01:05:36You saw what he did to Miss Jones in the hospital after he put her out with the Canyon cutter.

01:05:42You remember this footage from last Monday night.

01:05:44Disturbing as it was.

01:05:45But the cat was there.

01:05:47And the cat was there because Smooth tipped him off.

01:05:50And Canyon, after that feeding, got a little revenge on the limo driver.

01:05:54Smooth torn cartilage in his ribs, cracked ribs, torn meniscus.

01:05:59You see what went down earlier tonight as Canyon attacked the cat.

01:06:03And the injuries suffered by Smooth.

01:06:06That's a laundry list, Tony.

01:06:09All right.

01:06:10That's disco's music, right?

01:06:12But we saw him getting laid out.

01:06:13Yes.

01:06:14It's unconscious.

01:06:14So is it.

01:06:15Maybe Canyon.

01:06:20Look at this.

01:06:21You just talked about the injury.

01:06:24Wait a second.

01:06:25He can barely even scrape himself to the ring.

01:06:28Well, you can see him favoring that right knee and torn meniscus.

01:06:32He's got a concussion for Pete.

01:06:34Does he have medical clearance?

01:06:35This is not a place he should be.

01:06:37We even were told that he had a herniated disc or two.

01:06:41Man, you can see the pain written across his face.

01:06:46This is a man.

01:06:47Look at the determination on Smooth as Canyon is staggered.

01:06:51Looks like he's seen a ghost.

01:06:52He thought he left him for weeks and weeks of hospitalization in that

01:06:56parking lot last Wednesday night.

01:06:59And Canyon thinking this is supposed to be disco.

01:07:02That ain't disco.

01:07:03Obviously, he's having a word or two with the official, but Smooth, it's all he can do.

01:07:09You can see the pain as he even moves that right leg.

01:07:13Can you imagine in as much pain as Smooth is in that one punch KO disco?

01:07:19He's still out, I guess.

01:07:22Smooth can just can barely walk that unbelievable attack from Canyon last Wednesday.

01:07:28Smooth and the referee Billy Silverman trying to convince Smooth to stay out of this.

01:07:32I don't think there's any convincing them to stay out of anything right now.

01:07:36I would agree with that.

01:07:37What if that one punch you talked about, Scott?

01:07:40Finds its mark on the jaw of Chris Canyon.

01:07:44Smooth looking, he can't even get up the steps.

01:07:48I'm surprised the guy is standing.

01:07:51He's getting in there against this nut, Canyon.

01:07:54He's capable of anything.

01:07:55No.

01:07:56He is the innovator of all of us.

01:07:57Come on, Canyon.

01:07:58Oh.

01:07:59This is an amazing display of courage.

01:08:02He's got a concussion.

01:08:03He can't get going right for the head.

01:08:07This is what kind of man Canyon is.

01:08:09Torn cartilage to go with that concussion.

01:08:11Meniscus, torn meniscus.

01:08:14We're gonna need somebody out here.

01:08:15Broken ribs.

01:08:16Trainer Danny Young in the back.

01:08:18Let's get on standby, if not get to ringside because Smooth with the injuries he suffered

01:08:24last Wednesday at the hands of Canyon.

01:08:27We may see the end of a man's career right here.

01:08:29I mean, you gotta say a lot about his courage.

01:08:31He said, bring it on.

01:08:34Give me more and Canyon's gonna blind you.

01:08:36Come on, no.

01:08:37He must be going through Canyon's mind.

01:08:41Ricky said he thought he left him for dead in that limousine on Wednesday.

01:08:45And now he's fighting a ghost who just does not know.

01:08:49Come on in the head.

01:08:50With those right hands, the man's got a concussion.

01:08:52Canyon, there's no match.

01:08:54Get off of this one.

01:08:55He's got, man, the torn cartilage that.

01:08:58Come on, stay down.

01:09:01Walk out of here.

01:09:01Good night.

01:09:02That's right, stay down is the right.

01:09:04Canyon needs to lead.

01:09:06He needs to lead.

01:09:08He's on.

01:09:09Good night, what?

01:09:12This is almost too much to watch.

01:09:14What is driving this man?

01:09:16This is dangerous.

01:09:17I can't engage with him.

01:09:20Come on again with the right hands in the back of the head.

01:09:25What kind of maniac sociopath is Canyon.

01:09:28That's what the cat's got to look.

01:09:30Stay down, Spoon.

01:09:31Yeah, look at this.

01:09:32No, no.

01:09:33He's getting to his feet, my God.

01:09:35He's still calling Canyon in.

01:09:37He wants more.

01:09:39I see it, but I do not believe what I'm seeing.

01:09:42Rage is the only thing he's feeling if he's feeling anything at all.

01:09:45Look at that.

01:09:49There's absolutely no offense.

01:09:51This is too much.

01:09:52There's no defense.

01:09:54That's the biggest heart and one of the biggest men in WCW and Canyon.

01:10:00Come on, you've proved your point, Chris.

01:10:02I wanna tell you fans, this is determination like we've never seen before.

01:10:06Canyon.

01:10:08No, no.

01:10:08No, Canyon, no.

01:10:10My God.

01:10:11No, no, with a concussion.

01:10:12Lord, that's it.

01:10:15Someone put him in a cereal box and get him out of here.

01:10:18Get out.

01:10:19He's got him.

01:10:20God, please, God, no.

01:10:24Canyon.

01:10:25Look at this.

01:10:26He's on all fours.

01:10:28He's broke.

01:10:29He's falling on all fours.

01:10:31He's still moving forward.

01:10:33He is coming to Canyon.

01:10:34He's calling him.

01:10:35Man.

01:10:37How much can one body take?

01:10:40Chris, come on.

01:10:41Please go to the dressing room.

01:10:42My God.

01:10:43He's proud of this attack.

01:10:46No.

01:10:47Oh, my God.

01:10:49I don't wanna watch any more of this.

01:10:51Come on, Chris.

01:10:52Get out of here.

01:10:53You're gonna kill this guy.

01:10:55Look at that chair.

01:10:56This guy.

01:10:58This guy's a maniac.

01:10:59Get him out of here.

01:11:00Look at him.

01:11:00Look at this.

01:11:03Look at him.

01:11:03He wants more.

01:11:05Smooth as.

01:11:06Look at Canyon's face.

01:11:09Canyon can't believe it.

01:11:11I can't believe it.

01:11:12Look at the face of Canyon.

01:11:13That says it all.

01:11:14That's a look of shock of horror.

01:11:18He is coming forward to Canyon.

01:11:20He's not backing up.

01:11:21He's not standing still.

01:11:22My God, when he gets hold of Canyon.

01:11:24What's gonna happen?

01:11:28He's fighting a 400 pound zombie.

01:11:30My God, he's still trying to come on.

01:11:35What motivates this man?

01:11:38And he's still going after, and Canyon's left.

01:11:41He ran out of here.

01:11:43My God, that's unbelievable.

01:11:45But coming up next on this crazy broadcast, Diamond Dallas Page and Rick Steiner.

01:11:53Come on back with us.

01:11:54WCW's road to Spring Breakout 2001 is running wild.

01:12:01Catch us next week in our last stop before Panama City, the University of Florida in Gainesville.

01:12:06Brought to you by 1-800-COLLECT and America Online version 6.0.

01:12:13My God, what we have witnessed here tonight.

01:12:17All right, fans.

01:12:21Let's take you back some footage, guys.

01:12:23Tony, it was last Monday night.

01:12:24Diamond Dallas Page and Booker T against the Reformed Steiner Brothers.

01:12:28And Rick Steiner was as dominating as ever in this matchup.

01:12:32He's a brutal United States Heavyweight Champion.

01:12:36Here he comes to the ring, and I can only wonder.

01:12:38We do not have an update or a final word on exactly what or who attacked Medesha in the backstage area.

01:12:47Scott Steiner, obviously, pointing the finger and the guns inwards on the Magnificent Seven.

01:12:52So friction has developed in the backstage area.

01:12:54We still do not know the final answer of that.

01:12:57Nor are these injuries that have gone down tonight.

01:13:00Wow, a lot of them.

01:13:02Hang on a minute.

01:13:03Speaking of the world champion himself.

01:13:05This is supposed to be Rick Steiner and Diamond Dallas Page.

01:13:09Needless to say, the world heavyweight champion Scott Steiner's in the house.

01:13:14Scott Steiner realizes that in less than six days now that he must face Diamond Dallas Page for the WCW title.

01:13:25A title that Page has held before.

01:13:28More than once, as we know.

01:13:31So Scott Steiner, I don't know what his purpose is out here.

01:13:34But it cannot look too good for Diamond Dallas Page in this supposed one-on-one match against his brother Rick Steiner.

01:13:41You know, Diamond Dallas Page has lied to himself so many times, he actually believes his own hype.

01:13:58He actually believes he's going to outthink me.

01:14:01Now that's a pretty strong statement coming from a guy who had to get hooked on Phonics just to get into high school.

01:14:11That was too stupid to get into college because his SAT scores were so low because none of the questions consisted of white trash questions.

01:14:21Such as, how many miles can you travel before you rotate the tires on your house?

01:14:28But Diamond Dallas White Trash, don't take it personal because I hate all white trash.

01:14:37I don't hang out with white trash.

01:14:39And if it wasn't for this pay-per-view, the only way we would have met in the real world if you would have been detailing my car or cutting my grass.

01:14:50But the date is set this Sunday at Greed, and you're gonna notice the day of that the weather's gonna change because the pendulum on which the Earth rotates on is gonna be at a 51 degree axis.

01:15:08I'm gonna head the sun to my right, the dark side of the moon to my left, and I'm gonna come at you with a vengeance, and I'm gonna eclipse your ass.

01:15:18And in the aftermath, you're gonna lie in the same path as Sting, Booker T, Sid Vicious, and Goldberg, because I'm going down as the greatest world champion of all time because I'm the man.

01:15:42But more importantly, there's only one genetic freak.

01:15:48Paige, good luck tonight in surviving the Dog Face Gremlin.

01:15:58Well, apparently there's a plan from Big Papa Pump.

01:16:04When we come back, here comes Diamond Dallas, Paige.

01:16:08Stay with us.

01:16:09Fame is the goal of every warrior who steps into the ring.

01:16:15Fortune is his reward for destroying all challengers.

01:16:20In the end, what they crave most is power.

01:16:24You cannot imagine what one man will do to stay on top and how far the rest will go to bring him down until you order WCW Greed.

01:16:35Sunday, March 18th at 8 Eastern, live and only on Pay-Per-View.

01:16:39Here comes Diamond Dallas, Paige, reminder of the last word off tonight, right after the telecast.

01:16:46Log on to WCW.com and join Jeremy Boras, Bob Ryder for WCW Live.

01:16:52Maybe a final update on what's gone down, and if you don't find out in the building, that intimidation, that ongoing story back there.

01:16:58The injury to the Cat Booker team, the smooth, and here we go, full sprint, here comes B.D.P.

01:17:07And he'll meet the goal.

01:17:09My goodness, Dog Face Gremlin.

01:17:11Diamond Dallas Paige has come to this ring, Scott Hudson to fight, picks him up.

01:17:18My goodness, what strength, one, two.

01:17:21And he got him down for two.

01:17:23Both men a big part of the green, pay-per-view spectacular.

01:17:26Coming up this Sunday, D.D.P. gets a shot at the world title, slingshot, got it.

01:17:32Landing near a broadcast table, look at the determination on the face of Diamond Dallas Paige.

01:17:38He will not be denied, and it's this determination you can better believe he'll take to the green pay-per-view this Sunday.

01:17:46Diamond Dallas Paige has determination to spare, and Rick Steiner, the US Champion, is feeling it right now.

01:17:52Steiner landed on the top rope, fell back, and Paige lands eventually on the mat.

01:18:02And that stopped the momentum of Diamond Dallas Paige.

01:18:05Inadvertent, but the results are the same.

01:18:08D.D.P. was slowed by Rick Steiner and Steiner.

01:18:12Smells blood is gonna move in for the kill.

01:18:14I wanna tell you fans, top to bottom, the pay-per-view that we have, look at this turn in the face.

01:18:21Turn in the face of D.D.P.

01:18:24Top to bottom, one of the finest pay-per-view cards we've had in a long, long time in WCW.

01:18:30Booker T a chance to become US Champion, Paige a chance to become world champ against Scott Steiner.

01:18:37All major titles on the line, a brand new title, one, two, here's the way Tag Team Champions will be.

01:18:43Crown for the first time ever, and Dustin and Dustin together against Ric Flair and Jeff Gist.

01:18:48The Road Slayer feud continues, and it's all in six days.

01:18:52Look at this!

01:18:53Just bone on bone, right across the cheek and the forehead of D.D.P.

01:18:57No doubt, Ric Steiner trying to, just trying to take out D.D.P.

01:19:02Six days before his flesh and blood, his brother, the world champion Scott Steiner has to face off with D.D.P.

01:19:08And that's what his brother said, that's exactly what Scott Steiner said would happen.

01:19:13And we've got to wonder, we talked about the termination, but

01:19:16we've got to wonder what's gonna be left of the body of Diamond Dallas Page come Sunday night.

01:19:23He lands on his knees up against the safety rail, Steiner glancing over towards the other side.

01:19:29Oh, in the back of Diamond Dallas Page, and a fist right between the eyes.

01:19:36Ric Steiner's motivation is clear, take care of D.D.P. for his brother.

01:19:41Oh, man, those right hands.

01:19:43It's amazing that Page can still stand.

01:19:46Steiner, sentiment, Page, hold the ground.

01:19:48Oh, Steiner came up with a Steiner line and decapitated Diamond Dallas Page.

01:19:54My God.

01:19:56Wait a minute, he's taking off after the referee, Nick Patrick, come on.

01:19:59This guy's nutty enough to do it.

01:20:01Oh, Page.

01:20:04Into the gut, Steiner hammering on the back, behind the neck, and he rolls him in.

01:20:12This is good news for Page, stay out of the ring area, away from the steps, the ring posts,

01:20:18and the rails, and get in the ring against Steiner, although no place is safe against Rick Steiner.

01:20:22Got him hurt, that's it.

01:20:27He reversed himself right into that one, one, two, no, and a two count.

01:20:32D.D.P. knows he just dodged a bullet.

01:20:35That belly to belly from Rick Steiner has been the mark that many men have been measured by,

01:20:41and they've gone down to defeat.

01:20:42Page dodged it.

01:20:43But he has been slowed noticeably, and now Rick Steiner again right in the face of the referee.

01:20:49Anyone, look at Page, pull himself up.

01:20:51Where does he get this from?

01:20:53What are the trademark, what are the hallmarks of D.D.P.?

01:20:56Pulling himself up, here he comes.

01:20:58Great move, he's got him, rips away the steel, and he's got Rick Steiner around the ring post.

01:21:09Got his front end aligned on that one.

01:21:13This is the Diamond Dallas Page that's going into greed,

01:21:16the pay-per-view this Sunday against the champion, Scott Steiner.

01:21:20A man who knows how to fight, regardless of what, Scott will stay.

01:21:23Diamond Cutter.

01:21:27But I think Rick may have blocked part of that.

01:21:29I believe so.

01:21:30He sure did.

01:21:32No feet on the ropes.

01:21:34He's trying to block the Diamond Cutter somehow.

01:21:36My goodness, wait a minute now.

01:21:42What are you guys doing?

01:21:44I'm getting, there's a huge problem going on backstage.

01:21:48Scott, Scott, will you go backstage, get a camera man, get a microphone and cover this.

01:21:52I'm gone, I'm gone.

01:21:53Here's a cover in the ring, one, two.

01:21:56There you see Scott Hudson backstage fans, I don't know, but it is major.

01:22:00And we're sending Scott back to cover this as we speak right now.

01:22:04Meanwhile, look at this.

01:22:08He's showing the sign of a Diamond Cutter, the mock Diamond Dallas Page.

01:22:14DDP trying to pull himself up again.

01:22:19But down and out, and Steiner, he can smell it.

01:22:23He's going after him.

01:22:24Page sidestep, throw him off.

01:22:26One, two, they got a two, but not a three.

01:22:29And now, a Steiner line.

01:22:32Right out of his boots, did you see that?

01:22:34Exploding.

01:22:35How can he get up from something like that?

01:22:38Here he comes, Page on all fours.

01:22:41Right into the grasp of Rick Steiner.

01:22:45No, this is it.

01:22:46Trying to Steiner drive her.

01:22:48He reversed it.

01:22:49He's got the Diamond Cutter, Diamond Cutter on Rick Steiner.

01:22:53He wiped him out, but he's gotta make her cover.

01:22:57Can he do it?

01:22:59Pushes him over.

01:23:00No, it's Animal.

01:23:02Rogue Warrior, Animal's in.

01:23:05Referee calls for the bell, and now DDP, all alone.

01:23:09Tried to put him in a sit-up power bump, and he stopped himself on the way down.

01:23:16No, Diamond Cutter.

01:23:18All right, Scott Hudson is in position.

01:23:20Scott, what's going on backstage?

01:23:22Scott Hudson.

01:23:24It's obvious it's chaos backstage.

01:23:26We know DDP is outnumbered, and back here, the Cat and Booker T seriously injured.

01:23:30Our trainer, Danny Young, they want to get him trained, but they-

01:23:33All right, we understand they want it.

01:23:36They want to stay in the building, but there's nobody here to help Diamond Dallas Page.

01:23:42They have been restrained by the medics, and Diamond Dallas Page is all alone.

01:23:47He has nobody to help him out.

01:23:49This is absolutely horrible.

01:23:51He cannot- My God, Jared, Luger, Buff, Animal.

01:23:57The man is all alone, and they're using the steel chair.

01:24:00They're gonna wipe this man out before we go to the green pay-per-view.

01:24:05He's helpless.

01:24:08There's nothing he can do.

01:24:09Nothing at all.

01:24:11My God, look at this.

01:24:12They're taking their turns on Diamond Dallas Page.

01:24:15He has had so many injuries, cracked ribs.

01:24:18He's had concussions, and now six days away from the match against Scott Steiner.

01:24:27He is helpless all alone.

01:24:30Security has come out, thank God.

01:24:32Thank God.

01:24:33They have come out.

01:24:34Thank the Lord to pull them off.

01:24:37Before it could go any further.

01:24:39But what is left of Diamond Dallas Page?

01:24:42Pray tell.

01:24:43In all of this, Diamond Dallas Page.

01:24:48My God, he's on his feet.

01:24:49No!

01:24:50No!

01:24:51No!

01:24:52My God, no!

01:24:53He's got to his feet.

01:24:56He's got a left page.

01:24:58And a Steiner Recliner.

01:25:01Is this what we're gonna see on Sunday?

01:25:04Can Page overcome or not?

01:25:06No!

01:25:07No!

01:25:08No!

01:25:09No!

01:25:10No!
