00:00:00Don't forget the question, the burning question tonight.
00:00:02Who will be the partner for Kevin Nash against Lex Lugerstein?
00:00:06Won't be anybody for the NWO.
00:00:08How do you know?
00:00:10As we await the next big matchup here on WCW Monday Nitro,
00:00:14we have a major announcement this Friday, April 3rd.
00:00:17Tickets will go on sale for Monday Nitro when we come to Indianapolis
00:00:20at the Market Square Arena on Monday, May 4th.
00:00:24Tickets will go on sale this Friday at the box office and ticket match.
00:00:27And Bobby the Brain Heenan, the new gene, will be at Karma Records County Line Mall
00:00:31in Greenwood Friday from 10 a.m. till noon, Brain, with ticket squats out.
00:00:35It'll be a big night in Indy for Nitro.
00:00:38Point in, Annapolis, a great wrestling town.
00:00:39That's where I got my start.
00:00:41And people want to come out to the Market Square Arena,
00:00:44out to Karma, out in Greenwood, to talk about the old days,
00:00:46talk about the new days.
00:00:47Apparently, there's been some complaints over the past eight months
00:00:54that what I've been saying has not been easy to understand
00:01:01because of my excessively large vocabulary
00:01:05and my high level of diction.
00:01:09Well, tonight, I will put what I have to say in terms so clear
00:01:16that everyone, even those of limited intelligence,
00:01:21will know exactly what I mean.
00:01:24Paige, I want you to listen especially close, Paige.
00:01:29Because, Paige, you should understand my problems
00:01:34because you know about them better than anyone.
00:01:37How I was voted most unpopular in high school.
00:01:42Yeah.
00:01:42How my father never spent time with me.
00:01:47Paige, you were the one that picked me up at the hospital
00:01:49the first time I got out of rehab.
00:01:53You should understand my pain.
00:01:56But you don't.
00:01:58Four years ago, when WCW let you go,
00:02:03they said you would never be anybody.
00:02:07You'd never be a superstar.
00:02:11Who lends you a shoulder to cry on?
00:02:14I did.
00:02:15Raven did.
00:02:17Whenever you had problems of any nature,
00:02:21who listened to you on the telephone nightly?
00:02:25I did.
00:02:27Raven did.
00:02:29But what about me, Paige?
00:02:31What about Raven?
00:02:32What about me?
00:02:37I spent three long years in barbed wire city
00:02:42getting torn to shreds,
00:02:44going through tables,
00:02:46and being hit with frying pans and chairs.
00:02:50But you could have prevented it.
00:02:53You could have stopped it.
00:02:55You could have made one phone call
00:02:57and called in a favor,
00:02:59made a deal,
00:03:00and got Raven in the WCW.
00:03:03But you didn't.
00:03:05Because you were jealous.
00:03:07You were jealous,
00:03:08and you were scared
00:03:09that I would become a bigger star than you.
00:03:13You know, I should have listened to the snake.
00:03:15He said you weren't a true friend.
00:03:18He said you'd turn your back on me
00:03:20when you became a star.
00:03:22He was right.
00:03:24I should have listened.
00:03:27But times are different now.
00:03:29And where once I felt your pain,
00:03:32now you'll feel mine.
00:03:34Quote the Raven.
00:03:36United States champion forevermore.
00:03:39Holy smokes.
00:03:43I'll tell you,
00:03:43if his parents are watching,
00:03:45I'm going to tell them two words for Raven.
00:03:47Military school.
00:03:49Continues to blame everyone but himself, doesn't he?
00:03:52Everyone involved in society,
00:03:53and especially Diamond Dallas Page.
00:03:55I've got two words for him.
00:03:57Shock treatments.
00:03:58There's time in the world
00:04:00when you need to take responsibility
00:04:02for your own actions.
00:04:04And how about the reaction
00:04:05for Buff Bagwell of the NWO?
00:04:09Hey, guys,
00:04:10this is going to be
00:04:10a very interesting matchup here.
00:04:12The Flock against the New World Order.
00:04:14Let's bring it on.
00:04:15Oh, yeah.
00:04:16I want to see that.
00:04:17Norton's ready.
00:04:18Look at Norton.
00:04:19He is really ready.
00:04:20Yeah, I tell you,
00:04:21to be honest with you,
00:04:21we hope they beat each other
00:04:23to a pulp here.
00:04:24Oh, you're a doctor.
00:04:26You won't be friends.
00:04:27How about those
00:04:27according words
00:04:28towards Diamond Dallas Page?
00:04:30And he ended up by saying
00:04:32United States champion, Raven,
00:04:34and that's a fart.
00:04:35That's a lie.
00:04:37And they got their own signs
00:04:38here now, too.
00:04:39How about that?
00:04:40Competition for the Flock.
00:04:41Well, you know,
00:04:42just because he's got the belt
00:04:43doesn't make him champion.
00:04:44It just makes him a thief.
00:04:45That's exactly right, Raven.
00:04:46I know that.
00:04:47Page is the United States
00:04:49heavyweight champion.
00:04:50Raven will get his chance
00:04:52on the 19th of April
00:04:53at Spring Stampede
00:04:54in a sold-out Denver Coliseum.
00:04:56The only way you can see it,
00:04:58pay-per-view with cable,
00:04:59direct TV,
00:05:00Dish Network
00:05:00for you mini-dish owners
00:05:01and satellite-dish owners
00:05:03with the Thunder Premier.
00:05:04So Raven will get his chance
00:05:05to put his...
00:05:06Put the money where his mouth is,
00:05:09so to speak,
00:05:09against Diamond Dallas Page.
00:05:11Well, if I was Raven,
00:05:13I'd get rid of that belt
00:05:14really quick.
00:05:15I'd find a pawn shop someplace.
00:05:17I know you would.
00:05:18Well, I mean,
00:05:18he's got it.
00:05:20It's worth nothing to him, really.
00:05:21Might as well get some cash out of it.
00:05:22Well, when you're champion,
00:05:24it's worth everything.
00:05:25Just ask Diamond Dallas.
00:05:25But he's not the champion.
00:05:27Don't argue with me, Tony.
00:05:29Every time I come out here,
00:05:30you start arguing with me.
00:05:31I wonder why that is.
00:05:31Every time I come out here,
00:05:32you have to argue with me.
00:05:32Stop it.
00:05:33Come on, guys.
00:05:34Can't we just get along?
00:05:35No, we can't.
00:05:36It's a good thing he's got his shirt on
00:05:38with Buff Daddy out here.
00:05:41Where are we starting with?
00:05:42Buff Bagwell and Raven will hook it up.
00:05:45Here we go.
00:05:46To the eyes.
00:05:48Bagwell wastes no time.
00:05:50And hit toss out of the far side ropes,
00:05:53and Buff Bagwell loves to pose.
00:05:55I think this capacity crowd at the United Center
00:05:57has chosen sides in this matchup.
00:06:00There's no question about that,
00:06:02but there's a gut shot with a foot to the abdomen.
00:06:04Raven whips him in.
00:06:06Bagwell blocked that with a foot.
00:06:08And Bagwell runs right over Raven again.
00:06:11Well, he might look cute.
00:06:13He might be handsome.
00:06:14He might have a tremendous physique.
00:06:16But he's one tough guy in that ring,
00:06:17and I'm talking about that man, Buff.
00:06:20He's a fine wrestler, guys.
00:06:21So let's not forget the pre-NWO days
00:06:24with Buff Bagwell.
00:06:25Five times member of the World Tag Team Champions.
00:06:29Always a tough contender for many major titles.
00:06:32Uh-oh.
00:06:32Oh, my goodness, from the top.
00:06:35And here comes DDP.
00:06:37Security in tow right now.
00:06:39Are they trying to stop him,
00:06:40or are they letting him go?
00:06:40I don't know what they're doing.
00:06:42Raven.
00:06:42Look at that.
00:06:43He's got the belt.
00:06:43Look at him, Bale.
00:06:45Raven's got the belt.
00:06:47Diamond's right behind him.
00:06:49DDP.
00:06:51You're not kidding.
00:06:52Raven, though, has taken off.
00:06:53Raven's got a head start.
00:06:55Look at him run.
00:06:57Running right by us here.
00:07:00And Diamond Dallas Page.
00:07:04How about that?
00:07:06Oh, ho, ho.
00:07:07He was scared.
00:07:08There's your winner.
00:07:09He ain't got it, man.
00:07:10Because Raven ran out of town.
00:07:14Turned into a bird, bud.
00:07:15He didn't care anymore.
00:07:16He's a gun.
00:07:16He's a gun.
00:07:17He's a gun.
00:07:17He's a gun.
00:07:17He's a gun.
00:07:17He's a gun.
00:07:17He's a gun.
00:07:17He's a gun.
00:07:17He's a gun.
00:07:18He's a gun.
00:07:18He's a gun.
00:07:18He's a gun.
00:07:19He's a gun.
00:07:19He's a gun.
00:07:19He's a gun.
00:07:20He's a gun.
00:07:21Hey, no trouble.
00:07:22I don't want any trouble.
00:07:23No, he's not going to get any trouble.
00:07:24Pick up a mic.
00:07:24There's a microphone you can use right here.
00:07:26And you want to sit down here and talk to us?
00:07:29There's your champ right there.
00:07:37Put the headset on.
00:07:43Put the headset on.
00:07:44There you go.
00:07:46You got that?
00:07:47All right, take the headset off.
00:07:50You're the champ, whatever you want to do.
00:07:51I came here to straighten a few things out.
00:07:53To air some of this Raven Page saga in its proper context.
00:08:09Yeah, Raven did.
00:08:12He helped me, and I helped him.
00:08:16We helped each other.
00:08:20The only problem that emphasized everything between me and Raven is
00:08:26he has a very selective memory.
00:08:29And it goes all the way back to his childhood.
00:08:33Poor Raven.
00:08:35Poor little Scotty.
00:08:40Having to be born with that silver spoon in his mouth.
00:08:45Having to live in that 20,000 square foot mansion.
00:08:49Being chauffeured around.
00:08:51Going to the best schools.
00:08:54Wearing the best clothes.
00:08:56What a rough life he had.
00:08:57Yeah.
00:08:59Bottom line is this.
00:09:01I guess your daddy didn't look out for you, huh, Raven?
00:09:04Starved for attention.
00:09:06Well, if I want to air your dirty laundry from home, I'll talk about mine.
00:09:12You see, my mom, she had three kids before she was 20 and was divorced.
00:09:19I ended up going with my old man, which wild man that he was.
00:09:26I ended up bouncing from family to family.
00:09:28Hell, I don't even remember the first eight years of my life.
00:09:32But you know what?
00:09:33I'm okay with that.
00:09:34Because I learned how to turn negatives into positives.
00:09:41Raven, you only turn positives into negatives.
00:09:47You talk about hardships.
00:09:49You talk about saying how Jake said I would turn on you.
00:09:54How I sent you to Bobwire City.
00:09:56How you blame me for all your hardships.
00:10:00Man, you don't even know what hardship is.
00:10:03You know what hardship is to me?
00:10:06It's that guy who works a nine-to-five job that he absolutely hates.
00:10:12And then he goes to the next job that he hates even more just to make it all work.
00:10:21It's the mom whose old man ran out on her and her two, three kids.
00:10:29And now she's got to restructure her life.
00:10:31That's real life hardship.
00:10:33This BS hardship you're going through is nothing but crap.
00:10:39But you weigh it out.
00:10:42Raven's hardship, real life hardship.
00:10:46Think about it.
00:10:47There's the man, US Heavyweight Champion Diamond Dallas Page.
00:10:55Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to have more on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:10:59What an explosive night.
00:11:00Don't forget Hollywood Hogan and Rowdy Roddy Piper to go one-on-one.
00:11:08The three hours that rules wrestling continues live at Chicago at the United Center.
00:11:15Tony Schiavone, Bobby the Brain, and Iron Mike today.
00:11:19Brain.
00:11:20Rowdy Roddy Piper.
00:11:22Hollywood Hogan to battle one-on-one.
00:11:25We have seen the matches before on pay-per-view.
00:11:28But we're bringing it to the fans live here tonight on Nitro.
00:11:30You know, Tony, this is another situation like Hogan and Savage.
00:11:34Savage now is becoming a big popular thing in Hollywood.
00:11:37Big popular item.
00:11:38Well, Piper's always been a big product.
00:11:40He's been a movie star for years.
00:11:41That eats at Hogan, too.
00:11:43Now you're talking egos.
00:11:44Piper knows he's got Hogan's number.
00:11:47Hogan knows Piper's got his number.
00:11:49Let's see who's got whose number tonight.
00:11:50But one thing Hogan does not know is who the partner for Kevin Nash will be
00:11:54when Nash squares off and a mystery partner, so to speak,
00:11:58against the team of world champions Sting and Lex Luger.
00:12:01Well, I wish we could shed some light on it.
00:12:02Speculation is running rampant throughout the United Center
00:12:05as to who exactly Kevin Nash is going to bring to the ring
00:12:09later this evening on Nitro to face Sting and Lex Luger.
00:12:12Will it be someone from the NWO currently that maybe has a knife prepared
00:12:18to stick in the back of Hollywood Hogan?
00:12:21Will it be someone from world championship wrestling joining Kevin Nash?
00:12:24We'll find out later.
00:12:25One thing we do know, the bad match is on the horizon
00:12:28where Piper and the Giant, we've seen the Giant already,
00:12:32will take on the team of Hollywood Hogan and Kevin Nash.
00:12:36Let's go back to the ring on Nitro.
00:12:39What are you doing to me back there?
00:12:41I thought it was blood.
00:12:43All right.
00:12:43We continue with great wrestling action here on WCW.
00:12:47Monday Nitro.
00:12:47Just a rip on your shirt.
00:12:48Stop it.
00:12:49Monday Nitro here on TNT.
00:12:51And we want to say hello to our great fans of the great state of Florida.
00:12:54Tuesday, April 7th, we're going to be in Fort Myers, Florida at the Lee Civic Center.
00:12:58Tickets to the box office and all regular outlets.
00:13:00Wednesday, April 8th, we're going to be at the St. Lucie County Civic Center in Fort Pierce.
00:13:05Tickets to the box office there.
00:13:06We're going to be in Montgomery, Alabama, the capital city of Alabama,
00:13:10at the Civic Center on Friday night, April 10th.
00:13:12The big, big event there.
00:13:13Tickets to the box office and all Ticket Link outlets.
00:13:15And on Saturday night, April 11th, at the UTC Arena, we're going to be in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
00:13:22Tickets to the box office and all Ticket Connection outlets.
00:13:25WCW on tour.
00:13:26And I can tell you, just like the fans here can attest to,
00:13:30that the tickets are very, very hard to come by.
00:13:36You know, we talked a lot about Sting teaming with the total package Lex Luger.
00:13:40But let's not forget that Sting will have to put the title on the line
00:13:44in the midst of all the battles going on within the NWO against the macho man Randy Savage.
00:13:49You know, Mike, we talked about it many times during the course of this telecast.
00:13:52Savage feels that by winning the world title, if he can, coming up at Spring Stampede,
00:13:58that he will rule, that he will dictate policy now within the NWO.
00:14:03And it wasn't that long ago when Sting and Savage were seeming to be a team, were together.
00:14:08Remember when Sting hooked Savage up and he pulled him to the ceiling away
00:14:12from members of the NWO on this program not too long ago?
00:14:15Certainly do remember that, Tony.
00:14:16But I also remember an attack by the macho man Randy Savage on to Sting.
00:14:20You know, you see right now that Randy Savage, he's having problems with Hollywood Hogan.
00:14:26He's having problems with Sting.
00:14:28But when Randy Savage loses his focus, that's when he's the most dangerous.
00:14:34And that's what Sting has to be prepared for at Spring Stampede.
00:14:36Oh, there's no doubt about that.
00:14:37And it's hard for him to stay focused because there's so many things running through his mind.
00:14:41That's why he's known as the most dangerous man in professional wrestling.
00:14:44And Sting has to think about this.
00:14:46And in a tag match tonight, Sting gets wounded or something happens to him.
00:14:50That's a big plus for Savage going into Stampede.
00:14:53I think the fact that Savage is not focused is one of his strong suits.
00:14:57I mean, he can turn his attention many ways.
00:15:00Savage has always been many, many ways.
00:15:02He's on middle.
00:15:03And certainly he feels that he will rule the NWO by beating Sting at Spring Stampede.
00:15:08But beating, talking about beating Sting and beating Sting are two entirely ever things.
00:15:12Cover one, two.
00:15:13Not a two count.
00:15:13But you know, Savage is so twisted and he's so sick and he's so smart that he plays games with you all the time.
00:15:19So you don't know if you're on your side, against you, what he's going through, what's going on in his mind.
00:15:25And that's the way he wants to keep you.
00:15:26Now, the Disco Inferno stomped away on Kidman of Raven's Flock.
00:15:33Now, you know the fact that every time you have to face a member of the New World Order, you have to face the entire NWO.
00:15:39Oh, the top rope to the floor.
00:15:41New rule now.
00:15:42You can do that.
00:15:43You certainly can.
00:15:44And the Disco Inferno took advantage of it.
00:15:46But when the heat comes down, when it gets hot for the Macho Man Randy Savage against Sting on April 19th,
00:15:53and you know it is because Sting is the champ, will anybody come to the Macho Man's aid?
00:15:58Will anybody come to help him out?
00:16:00That's one of the burning questions in our sport.
00:16:02And that's what makes the Savage-Sting matchup so intriguing coming up on the 19th of April at Spring Stampede.
00:16:08And you know how bad Savage wants to become champion.
00:16:10You know how bad Savage- Look at this!
00:16:13How bad Savage wants to rule the NWO.
00:16:15And you know how bad Hogan wants to stop that from happening.
00:16:19Kidman executing some great moves here, Mike.
00:16:21Sending the Disco Inferno down repeatedly here.
00:16:23And we know that Disco Inferno certainly has had problems.
00:16:26Quick cover now by Kidman.
00:16:28Gets just a two count.
00:16:29Disco and the Flock.
00:16:31Just recently, we saw Raven come in and steal the bandana from Disco Inferno,
00:16:36almost acting as if a trophy.
00:16:38Was added to the Flock's trophy case.
00:16:42How about that guillotine leg drop from the outside over the top row?
00:16:45Great extension that time by Kidman.
00:16:47He's up in the middle.
00:16:47Rucks once again.
00:16:48Kidman.
00:16:52Looking out to the fans here.
00:16:54And goes back to the point of attack once again.
00:16:56Remember the Disco Inferno?
00:16:58The former television champion.
00:17:00And speaking of that, in the course of this program, a big return match.
00:17:04Booker T.
00:17:05From the draw they had recently just one week ago, just last week.
00:17:10And they will get it on again for the TV belt later on here tonight.
00:17:13One, two, cover, got a two count.
00:17:16One good thing he's doing, he keeps going for the cover.
00:17:18He's not missing an opportunity.
00:17:19That's exactly right.
00:17:21He's an oddball.
00:17:22He's part of Raven's Flock, but he's trying to win a match.
00:17:24Here's a rollout.
00:17:25One, two, and a sunset flip, but only a two count.
00:17:27Well, what makes you think he's an oddball?
00:17:30Well, he's got, I don't know, he always scratches.
00:17:34He has hair down in his eyes.
00:17:36He has cut off jeans.
00:17:37He doesn't seem to wash his hair.
00:17:40I mean, holds in his T-shirts.
00:17:42Look who he associates with at ringside, the other members of the Flock.
00:17:45Is that oddball enough for you?
00:17:46Well, I just know it is.
00:17:47I just wonder what you were thinking.
00:17:48What made you think oddball?
00:17:51Now using the ropes, the throat against the middle rope there.
00:17:55Are you going to be in Chattanooga, Tony?
00:17:56No.
00:17:58Across the throat.
00:17:59They like you.
00:18:00That's the way they call you.
00:18:01Town A.
00:18:01Stop it.
00:18:03I pick upside.
00:18:04Drop this time.
00:18:05We got him down.
00:18:07Back to the match we go.
00:18:08Up on the ropes.
00:18:09Here he comes.
00:18:11You know, Kidman, long before he was a member of this flock,
00:18:15lived up on the top with his moves.
00:18:18And trying a big splash, but nobody home.
00:18:23Meanwhile, Disco Inferno mounting the comeback here.
00:18:27That will slow you down.
00:18:29How about that?
00:18:30Point of the elbow on target.
00:18:32One, two.
00:18:33No, Kidman kicked out.
00:18:36Disco Inferno did mount quite an offensive slurry.
00:18:39Hanging that breaker.
00:18:41Disco Inferno quick cover.
00:18:42Hooks the far leg and gets...
00:18:43No, does not have it.
00:18:45He's only got a two count.
00:18:47Great matchup.
00:18:49Great competition.
00:18:50Both men giving it their all.
00:18:51Back and forth it goes.
00:18:52Well, Disco's been coming on more lately.
00:18:54He's been showing more offense than he ever has before.
00:18:57Disco up on top.
00:18:58Double axiando missed its mark.
00:19:00Now Kidman.
00:19:01Could he mount something here?
00:19:03He's got to.
00:19:04He is back on top.
00:19:05He's back up standing position.
00:19:07And he's got Disco in the corner.
00:19:08Into the other side.
00:19:09Neutral.
00:19:10Counter.
00:19:10Foot.
00:19:12Glazed the face.
00:19:14Up.
00:19:14Down.
00:19:15Oh, great move.
00:19:17One, two.
00:19:18No.
00:19:19Didn't hold him.
00:19:21Incredible succession of near falls by both men in this matchup.
00:19:26Seesaw battle.
00:19:28Into the ropes up on top.
00:19:30It's the ropes missed.
00:19:31There's a gut shot.
00:19:32Disco Inferno.
00:19:34What's he going to do here?
00:19:36Piledriver maybe?
00:19:37That's who it is.
00:19:39How about that move?
00:19:41Kidman's out.
00:19:42Disco.
00:19:43One, two.
00:19:44It's over.
00:19:47It's the best I've seen Disco.
00:19:49That's the best I've seen him.
00:19:50Better than when he had the belt before.
00:19:52And I would agree.
00:19:53And Mike, I think you would say, is that the first time we've seen the Piledriver from him?
00:19:56Certainly is.
00:19:56New finishing move for the Disco Inferno to go along with that all-new level of concentration
00:20:02from bell to bell.
00:20:04What a program this is.
00:20:05It continues still to come.
00:20:07Rowdy, Rowdy Piper.
00:20:08Here gets Hollywood Hogan.
00:20:09And who's going to be a partner of Kevin Nash?
00:20:14Back we are.
00:20:15Two hours down.
00:20:16And this third hour, the biggest one yet.
00:20:19It will be a match of mega proportions.
00:20:22When tonight, Rowdy, Rowdy Piper and Hollywood Hogan go one-on-one here in this third hour of Night Throw.
00:20:28In the burning twist it is, who will be the tag team partner of Big Sexy, the tag killer, Kevin Nash.
00:20:34As he and this partner will face world champion Sting and the total package Lex Luger.
00:20:40Plus, we're going to have a return match for the TV belt, Booker T and Chris Benoit.
00:20:44Kurt Hennig will be coming out in just a few moments.
00:20:47I'll tell you guys, what an electric hour number three we have for our fans here tonight.
00:20:51There you hear the NWO music.
00:20:54And there you see the NWO fans stand up and react.
00:20:58Tony, didn't Kevin Nash imply that he had a partner?
00:21:01He said he did.
00:21:02He knew what he was going to do.
00:21:03He knew what direction he was going.
00:21:04Tony, he seemed very confident to me, but of course he would.
00:21:09I don't think he'd have trouble getting a partner, do you?
00:21:12I think he did more than just imply.
00:21:14I think he said, hey, I've got one.
00:21:17And here comes the tandem, and I say tandem, of Kurt Hennig and Rick Rude,
00:21:22because certainly Rude has been a major factor in his victories over the past couple of months.
00:21:28Quite a team that has formed within the new world order.
00:21:31They are inseparable, lifetime friends, Rick Rude and Kurt Hennig.
00:21:36Kurt Hennig, the wrestler that made Minnesota famous.
00:21:39You really think that, huh?
00:21:40What he told me, who am I to call him alive?
00:21:42And you believe it, huh?
00:21:44Ask his dad if you don't believe me.
00:21:45And nonetheless...
00:21:46Ask Irene.
00:21:47Kurt Hennig makes his way to the ring, and we've got a company here, Mike Tenet.
00:21:54Rick, I don't want any trouble.
00:21:55It's right over to Mike Tenet's right shoulder, it's Rick Rude.
00:21:59All right.
00:21:59Smart move there, Mike.
00:22:03You're not qualified to handle this business, Tanae.
00:22:06Nice looking tie, Rick.
00:22:07Thank you, Bobby.
00:22:11Rick Rude has joined us, as you can clearly see, at our broadcast location.
00:22:14I guess you feel you're the only man qualified to properly call a Kurt Hennig matchup.
00:22:20Well, I do know all about Kurt Hennig.
00:22:22We go back over 25 years.
00:22:25I know that, and Jim the Anvil Neidhart comes out, and there's certainly, there's a lot of discussion about you, Hennig, as it relates to Neidhart.
00:22:32Neidhart, as it relates to, certainly, Bret the Hitman Hart, to the British Bulldog.
00:22:38But I need to ask you something.
00:22:40There was, you were in the ring, a lot of concern, when Big Sexy, the Giant Killer, Kevin Nash, said he had a tag team partner.
00:22:48Let's talk about the business at hand.
00:22:50Let's talk about Kurt Hennig ripping his way through the entire Hart family.
00:22:54I'll bet Stu Hart is up in Canada somewhere with the doors barred tonight.
00:23:00That's funny.
00:23:01Getting Stonewall, no answer from Rick Rude about this mystery partner, huh?
00:23:05He's got the NWO concern, I'll tell you that, all right?
00:23:08I know, Rick Rude, you want to talk about Kurt Hennig?
00:23:10Let's do it.
00:23:11Jim the Anvil Neidhart tries to get in, and Hennig tries to keep him on the outside.
00:23:15That's what you call being aggressive.
00:23:17I don't think there's any question that Hennig, one of the most aggressive men in our sport.
00:23:21Here comes the Anvil, though, certainly Anvil with purpose here.
00:23:25He did not forget and has not forgotten what you guys did to the British Bulldog
00:23:30when you handcuffed him to the top rope not too long ago, Rick Rude.
00:23:34Well, I don't think anyone's going to forget that, at least I won't.
00:23:38But the fact of the matter is right here, Jim Neidhart is going to get some more of the same
00:23:43that we dished out today.
00:23:44You, Rude!
00:23:45Oh, look at this, pointing out towards you, Rick Rude.
00:23:48That's when Neidhart, a double accent will blow.
00:23:50He said, that one was for you.
00:23:52If he wanted me, he could come up here and have me, but he don't want no part of Rick Rude.
00:23:56He's having his hands full with Kurt Hennig right now.
00:24:00Hennig goes upside down on the top rope, and now, look at this.
00:24:04You, Rude!
00:24:06I mean, that's...
00:24:07He's not coming here, is he?
00:24:08Well, no, I'm going back to the point of attack,
00:24:11but he is as focused on Rick Rude as he is on Kurt Hennig in the ring.
00:24:14He better stay focused on Kurt Hennig.
00:24:18That's the only way you're going to at least have a shot at beating this man.
00:24:21And right now, you know, you've got to call it as you see it, guys.
00:24:23It's been all Jim Neidhart here.
00:24:25That's how you see it, Shivani.
00:24:26That's why I'm out here.
00:24:27Right now, Kurt is feeling out Jim Neidhart,
00:24:30and it won't be long before he has the upper hand.
00:24:32Okay.
00:24:33I don't doubt it.
00:24:34This...
00:24:34Stop it.
00:24:35This feeling out process continues as he can slam hard on the mat from...
00:24:40You, Rude!
00:24:41Wow.
00:24:41I mean, this...
00:24:42Neidhart is focused on one ravishing Rick Rude who's at our broadcast location.
00:24:48As he can...
00:24:49Oh, here he comes.
00:24:50Where?
00:24:50Who?
00:24:51You know, Hennig mounting a comeback here to the jaw, and now Neidhart,
00:24:56I tell you, using some illegal tactics, gouging the eyes, going, raking the face of Kurt Hennig.
00:25:02I think the referee needs to do his job right now, pal, and start calling some of these.
00:25:06You know, you're right.
00:25:06The man's on the ropes.
00:25:07He should be making a break.
00:25:08I mean, I just have to call when I see.
00:25:11You're too much.
00:25:12He's raking the eyes.
00:25:14He's...
00:25:14There you go, Kurt.
00:25:15Kurt up against the ropes, and Neidhart sends him...
00:25:19I've got to get a closer look at this.
00:25:20Well, that clunk you heard was Rude dropping the headset.
00:25:24Oh, I thought he never...
00:25:25He said...
00:25:26Stop it.
00:25:26He said he had to get a closer look.
00:25:28And you see him being waved in by Hennig.
00:25:30Rude is making his way to...
00:25:31Boy, is he ever...
00:25:32He's running to the ring.
00:25:34There's a closer look, all right.
00:25:35Oh, he shut the referee down.
00:25:37That's gonna cost him.
00:25:38He shut the...
00:25:39Oh!
00:25:40And now the bear hug.
00:25:41Put on Rick Rude.
00:25:42And that double axe handle now from Hennig, their double-teaming Neidhart.
00:25:46Well, it's like the old days.
00:25:48If you get in a fight with Kurt Hennig, you had to fight him and Rude and vice versa.
00:25:51And Rude's going to the pocket.
00:25:53He's got the handcuffs again.
00:25:54This time, he's got it on Neidhart.
00:25:56Like he said, they did it to the Bulldog.
00:25:57They'll do it to Neidhart.
00:25:58That's right.
00:25:59One week ago, they did it to the British Bulldog.
00:26:01And now Neidhart at the mercy of Rude Hennig in the handcuffs.
00:26:06Mike Tenet has joined us back once again.
00:26:08And I think this has all been an elaborate plan, Mike.
00:26:11Obviously, just another example of the New World Order.
00:26:14Their assault on Jim the Anvil Neidhart.
00:26:17Obviously, well thought out, well prepared game plan.
00:26:20But it's been something.
00:26:21Here comes the British Bulldog.
00:26:22The British Bulldog.
00:26:24This has become something very personal with Hennig and Red Hart and his entire family.
00:26:30And now the British Bulldog has seen enough.
00:26:33The Bulldog nailing Hennig.
00:26:35Now Rude.
00:26:36Bryan Adams has come in.
00:26:38Bryan Adams picks up the Bulldog and drives him down with a Piledriver.
00:26:42Number's game just too strong at this point.
00:26:47The New World Order in control.
00:26:48Mike Rude just took his belt off and he's choking Neidhart with it.
00:26:52His eyes are popping.
00:26:53Oh, look at that.
00:26:56Very graphic.
00:26:57Look.
00:26:57What are you laughing about?
00:26:58Neidhart needs glasses to keep his eyes in.
00:27:00Stop it.
00:27:00Once again, the NWO taking trouble.
00:27:04Oh, and it hit the rest.
00:27:06Referee Scott Dickinson is down.
00:27:08That's got to be a fine.
00:27:10And I hope it's a big one.
00:27:11Double it, triple it.
00:27:13Brett, the Hitman Hart.
00:27:15He's here.
00:27:16He's arrived.
00:27:18Here he comes.
00:27:19Hello.
00:27:21And they erupt at the United Center for Brett Hart.
00:27:24Rude.
00:27:26Getting plastered by right hands.
00:27:28He's taking on all three men.
00:27:30Brett Hart, repeated blows to the head.
00:27:36Now a big bear hug by Bryan Adams.
00:27:38And he pounds it all the way to the mat.
00:27:41Well, look what's Brett Hart doing here.
00:27:42He's taking care of everybody.
00:27:45Rick Rude, hard hitting Bryan Adams.
00:27:47He has come in here and is clean house as Neidhart is still handcuffed on his second rope.
00:27:54Brett, the Hitman Hart, completely a one-man assault team coming to the aid of his brother-in-law.
00:28:00British Bulldog and Jim the Anvil Neidhart.
00:28:04And I said, this is something very, very personal with Hennig and the Hart family.
00:28:10I don't think there's no question about that, Brink.
00:28:12No question about it all.
00:28:14He didn't care who was in the ring or how many.
00:28:16He was going to go in there, Brett, Hitman Hart, and stop what was happening.
00:28:19And he did, and now Doug Dillinger coming out with his spare keys for the Hennig.
00:28:25I'm not paying attention.
00:28:27I said it last week, and I'm going to say it again.
00:28:32This kind of stuff is coming to an end.
00:28:35But nobody knows better than I do what it's like to get screwed.
00:28:40And as far as the NWO goes, yeah, you and everybody like you,
00:28:47I'm going to tear you down brick by brick until I get to the very end.
00:28:55And Hogan, your time is coming sooner or later.
00:28:59Words of warning from Brett, the Hitman Hart.
00:29:05And words of warning for each and every member of the NWO.
00:29:10From one of the greatest wrestlers ever, a part of WCW.
00:29:15Back for the TV title, still to come, next.
00:29:18The Crippler Chris Benoit coming to the ring for the next matchup.
00:29:29This, a return bout from last Monday when we were in Louisville, Kentucky, Freedom Hall.
00:29:34And he is wearing the jersey of the Calgary Hitman.
00:29:38That's Brett, the Hitman Hart's hockey team, just like we saw Brett Hart wearing the jersey earlier.
00:29:43Both Benoit and Hart are wearing the jerseys.
00:29:46Good luck for the Calgary Hitman.
00:29:48They've advanced to the second round of the WHL playoffs.
00:29:51Now on to play, Swift Current Broncos.
00:29:53Game 1 tonight in Calgary.
00:29:55Is that like the Calgary Ducks?
00:29:57Stop it.
00:29:57Now, Chris Benoit, last Monday in Louisville, wrestled Booker team to a time appointment draw.
00:30:06Now remember, for television time purposes, it is a ten minute time limit.
00:30:12Here on WCW Monday Night Live, that's what makes it tough to try to get a TV belt away from a champ.
00:30:22Fans, we've got two big announcements to make.
00:30:24This just handed to us from the offices of WCW.
00:30:27Two more matches to add to the card of Spring Stampede.
00:30:31The WCW Cruiserweight title will be on the line.
00:30:36Prince Iakea will take on Chris Jericho.
00:30:39And right now, we understand that they are trying to sign yet another match coming up for Spring Stampede.
00:30:46And we hope to have that announcement before we get off the air tonight.
00:30:49The WCW Executive Committee is awfully busy this evening, aren't they?
00:30:52You're not kidding.
00:30:53So, Prince Iakea and Chris Jericho with a Cruiserweight title.
00:30:56That will be coming up at Spring Stampede.
00:30:58And hopefully before this night is over, we'll announce one more match to add to the spectacular card for Sunday night, April 19th.
00:31:04And right now, though, it's Booker T and Chris Benoit for the TV title.
00:31:08These two men certainly evenly matched, Mike.
00:31:10Well, that was also a good call by the Executive Committee.
00:31:13They saw that matchup between these two last week.
00:31:15And they deemed it necessary for Benoit to gain another shot at the World's TV title.
00:31:20You're right, Tony.
00:31:20That World's TV Championship and the man that holds it.
00:31:23There's just an inherent advantage because of the time limit factor that's built in.
00:31:29Huge edge to the champion, Booker T.
00:31:31You know, you have to think being a contender, what goes through your mind when you're a championship match.
00:31:35You've got an hour.
00:31:37You've got an hour to set your timing, set your pace, your match.
00:31:41In 10 minutes, a lot can happen in 10 minutes.
00:31:44You can't even get started sometimes until the 20-minute mark.
00:31:50Down he goes.
00:31:51Oh, look at this, spinning back up.
00:31:55I just thought of another connection with Chris Benoit and Bret the Hitman Hart.
00:32:00Benoit, obviously, a Canadian like Bret Hart.
00:32:02And Benoit was trained for professional wrestling in the Calgary, Alberta Dungeon of one Stu Hart,
00:32:09the father of Bret the Hitman Hart.
00:32:12Full-arm drag and twist.
00:32:13Deep underhook that time by Benoit up to a top wrist lock.
00:32:17The dungeon.
00:32:18And obviously, you can see the leverage advantage from the taller man here.
00:32:21But look out, Benoit rolls him up.
00:32:23Benoit got a one count all day.
00:32:24And Nick Patrick clicked down to make a count.
00:32:27And both men back up quickly.
00:32:28Have you ever seen the dungeon?
00:32:30Yeah, I was there one time.
00:32:32What's it like?
00:32:33Oh, I don't want to talk about it.
00:32:34Ever seen the men's room at the Newark Airport?
00:32:36Stop it, guys.
00:32:36All right, here's another announcement just handed to me.
00:32:39They have just signed, they being the WWE Championship Committee.
00:32:43Kurt Hennig will face the British Bulldog coming up at Spring Campete.
00:32:49And, of course, Rick Rude will be in Hennig's play.
00:32:51That is another matchup.
00:32:53And can you imagine, especially after what we have seen, the animosity with the British Bulldog,
00:32:58Bret Hart's family, and Kurt Hennig and Rick Rude?
00:33:00It's almost a rivalry that goes beyond the boundaries of WCW versus the NWO.
00:33:06And not only that, I certainly hope the Bulldog is sharp.
00:33:09I hope he doesn't make any mistakes.
00:33:10The last thing I want to see him do is get handcuffed.
00:33:13He's been handcuffed before.
00:33:15Let's do it again.
00:33:16Stop it.
00:33:18But right now, in the ring, it's the crippler, Chris Benoit, taking control of the match.
00:33:23Short-lived as it was.
00:33:25Into the rope.
00:33:26Pick up now by...
00:33:26Oh!
00:33:27Sidewalk slam!
00:33:29Cover!
00:33:30He's got a one, the two, and no, the right shoulder.
00:33:34Up in the nick of time for Benoit.
00:33:37Lord, he banged the back of his head on the mat.
00:33:39He really did.
00:33:39That was a hard-driving sidewalk slam, and there's a big, hard-driving scoop slam.
00:33:44Quicker T, everything he does, Mike, is such authority, such force to the ring.
00:33:48All of these moves this evening delivered with great impact by the world's TV champion.
00:33:52And when you look across the ring at a physical presence like the Canadian crippler, Chris Benoit,
00:33:57to be successful against Benoit, you're going to have to deliver him with that kind of impact and authority.
00:34:01I noticed Booker T's presence still in the ring.
00:34:04It wasn't before, like, trying to look at the arm and the leg, trying to gain a move, trying to show where a competitor he is.
00:34:09He knows he's a champion now.
00:34:10He walks around that ring.
00:34:11He lets you know, you've got to beat me.
00:34:14He's come a long way.
00:34:15Booker T back to the attack once again.
00:34:20He really has Benoit in trouble here.
00:34:22Was almost trying to drag him up by the hair, and Benoit, dead weight, fell right back down to the mat.
00:34:27Reversing Benoit.
00:34:28Almost lured him into a false sense of security that time.
00:34:31Over the top, German suplex released it and snapped his head back to the mat.
00:34:36But he don't have anything left in his back, I don't think.
00:34:38Benoit really went down and really brought attention to his lower back.
00:34:41I think if Benoit had the energy, we've seen when he applies those German suplexes.
00:34:46Yeah, oftentimes many in succession.
00:34:48That time just won and released.
00:34:50Now he's trying to regain his senses.
00:34:54Monk Man, as you can see, took the brunt of that one.
00:34:56It's Benoit, though, the first man up.
00:34:58Got the boot in the side of the ribs before the TV champ can stand.
00:35:02Hands him up.
00:35:02Snap, suplex, took him over.
00:35:05And Benoit, this time, will try to get the win.
00:35:08One, two, got a two, and that was all.
00:35:09I just got word from one of my people here that Kevin Nash now has moved dressing rooms.
00:35:14He's moved to the other side of the building.
00:35:16Now, what is that going to mean?
00:35:17What do you mean by the other side?
00:35:18The WCW side?
00:35:18I don't know.
00:35:19He said he moved everything out of there.
00:35:22He's moved to the other side.
00:35:23What does that mean?
00:35:24That means one of two things.
00:35:25That means, number one, there's a cover.
00:35:27The heat is really on back there, which I think that may be the case.
00:35:30And number two, you're lying.
00:35:31And a lot of times that happens, too.
00:35:33And number three, you could be right.
00:35:34But then again, you could be wrong.
00:35:35Once again, Booker T trying to stand, but Benoit hovers over him.
00:35:40This could be Benoit's moment to become a champion.
00:35:42We've all said he's the greatest non-champion in our sport.
00:35:47Foot to the face.
00:35:48Booker T dropped to hold by Benoit to take him down.
00:35:51He is so quick as Benoit.
00:35:53We've talked so much about his aggressiveness, how strong he is, how forceful he is.
00:35:57I think sometimes you overlook how quick Benoit is, guys.
00:36:01Not only just his in-ring quickness, but the way that he snaps off and delivers his moves so crisply.
00:36:07And, of course, that's a combination of the power, the force, the intensity, and the quickness.
00:36:11Rolled him over, trying to get a win again.
00:36:13But Booker T does not stay down a two-count.
00:36:15One of the great attributes of being a tremendous champion is not only can you win matches, you know how to escape from assaults.
00:36:22And that's what Booker T has done here.
00:36:24You can see Booker T trying to shake the cobwebs out here.
00:36:27But back to the attack once again.
00:36:28The Hripler and a great backbreaker.
00:36:30Followed by a lateral press.
00:36:31Pushing the shoulders down, but could not hold him down.
00:36:33Too much strength in the lower part of the body as Booker T got the legs kicking out.
00:36:37And thus the upper body followed.
00:36:38You can see that air of confidence with Booker T now, fighting for his life, making sure that he was able to kick out at two.
00:36:44So much at stake with the World's TV title on the line.
00:36:47You can see every muscle in this man's body.
00:36:50In both men's body, almost.
00:36:51Look at the determination.
00:36:53Benoit in the pain on the face of Booker T.
00:36:56Great hammer work here, guys.
00:36:58Rocking back with that surfboard hold.
00:37:00Eventually Booker T will be able to scratch Benoit's back from there.
00:37:05I'm sure he could right now.
00:37:07Benoit is just, look at this, extra added leverage, like you said, Mike, the surfboard.
00:37:12And this is twofold here.
00:37:14Submission, yeah.
00:37:15He'd be glad to get a submission, but this also will take a lot out of Booker T.
00:37:19If nothing else, take a lot of energy out, trying to power out of this one.
00:37:22But he's doing a pretty darn good job of it here, guys.
00:37:25He's coming out of it.
00:37:27He's powering his way out of it.
00:37:28He certainly is.
00:37:29How about that?
00:37:30But Benoit one step ahead.
00:37:31Into the gut with the foot.
00:37:33Picks up Booker T.
00:37:34Drives him down.
00:37:35Belly to back.
00:37:36Nicely done.
00:37:36Go for it.
00:37:39Cover him.
00:37:40Now Benoit, a lot taken out of him as well as he slowly makes his way over, pushes down.
00:37:45One, two.
00:37:46But the right leg is on the bottom rope, and that stops the count.
00:37:48It's been a hard-fought match.
00:37:49It really has.
00:37:50Much like it was one week ago on this program.
00:37:53Again, Benoit.
00:37:57Guthrie's over the top.
00:37:58He's gonna go for it.
00:37:59German suplex.
00:38:00Here it comes, Mike.
00:38:01The rolling German suplex.
00:38:03There's number two.
00:38:04Now he's got that energy level up.
00:38:05Let's see if he can deliver a third.
00:38:07Sixty more.
00:38:07He'll tie Goldberg.
00:38:09Up.
00:38:09Oh.
00:38:11Back elbow.
00:38:11Another one.
00:38:14Knocked him loose on the third one.
00:38:16Ducks the elbow.
00:38:16That's out.
00:38:17They connect.
00:38:18Both men connect, and Benoit cannot make a cover.
00:38:21They're both down.
00:38:22Oh, he just rolls off in pain that time.
00:38:24Both men collided.
00:38:25It looked like they were going for cross-body blocks at the same time.
00:38:28Knocked the wind out of each other.
00:38:29And I think had Benoit been able to just lay on him, he could have got the wind.
00:38:33But he rolled off that time.
00:38:35This match, to me, seems more brutal right now than it was last week.
00:38:38I think so.
00:38:38And Nick Patrick is up to five now for both men.
00:38:46Well, they're best to take as much of the count as they can.
00:38:48That's right.
00:38:49That's what they've got to do.
00:38:49And that's what they're doing, I believe.
00:38:52Both men finally up to a vertical base.
00:38:54Ducking the knife edge.
00:38:56Belly to back by Booker T.
00:38:58Great execution.
00:38:59A little spin up.
00:39:00And here comes a Harlem sidekick.
00:39:03Pitch on target.
00:39:04He's got him.
00:39:05Momentary adrenaline rush that time by Booker T.
00:39:09Look at this.
00:39:09Booker T can't follow through.
00:39:11Trying to regroup now.
00:39:12Well, he has spent.
00:39:12He's got every bit of energy gone.
00:39:15He may be trying for a Harlem hangover, but I tell you guys, his opponent is a long, long way away.
00:39:21He's really has to position him a little bit closer.
00:39:23Benoit is not only closer now, he's standing up.
00:39:26And he's the man taking the opposite to Booker T.
00:39:30And again.
00:39:34What a matchup we have here.
00:39:36I think if the Cubs could hit like that.
00:39:38Stop it.
00:39:39To the midsection, they go again.
00:39:42This time it's Booker T going to the gut.
00:39:44Trying to knock the win.
00:39:45And a Benoit successful with forearm smashes to the jaw.
00:39:50Sending Benoit down.
00:39:51Missile drop kick that he just shrugged off.
00:39:53You were right, he was too far out, too.
00:39:55That's the move that's gained him so many wins, is World's TV Champs.
00:39:58Here comes that.
00:39:59No, no, no, no, no, he's got the rope.
00:40:01He's got the rope.
00:40:02Oh, the fans are rough.
00:40:03They saw it coming, but he was too close to the ropes.
00:40:06Too close to the ropes, or we could have had a changing of the guard here for the TV belt.
00:40:12Four-arm shot.
00:40:13Back and forth they go.
00:40:14And he won the guy out of that hole.
00:40:16You're not kidding.
00:40:16And how do they do it?
00:40:18So much.
00:40:19Oh!
00:40:19The bell has erupted.
00:40:21The bell has sounded out of nowhere.
00:40:23And the people here in Chicago want to see him fight.
00:40:25Of course they do.
00:40:26Throw away the bell.
00:40:27Hit Pinzer with the bell.
00:40:28Unfortunately, Nick Patrick got in the midst of all of that.
00:40:31Benoit is not finished.
00:40:33Patrick throws Benoit off.
00:40:35This match is over, I can tell you right now.
00:40:37Let him go.
00:40:37We need to get an official word as soon as Nick Patrick lets David Pinzer know the verdict of this match.
00:40:45The fans want him to go.
00:40:47Yeah, we do too.
00:40:49Let him go.
00:40:51They want to go.
00:40:54All right, I'm sure this is a time limit draw once again.
00:40:57That's the only thing it can be.
00:40:58There was no sign of a disqualification.
00:41:01The bell sounded.
00:41:02Nick Patrick, here's the official word.
00:41:04If we can, let's listen to David Pinzer possibly.
00:41:06Ladies and gentlemen, once again, the television time limit has expired in this match.
00:41:11Referee Nick Patrick rules this match a draw.
00:41:15Booker T remains the WCW World Television Champion.
00:41:20Once again, it's that teeny time limit that works against Chris Benoit.
00:41:24But like you said, about 20, 30 seconds ago, with the Crippler crossface on,
00:41:30had it not been for the rope and the position, we would have had a new television champ.
00:41:34Still to come, Roddy Piper and Hollywood Hogan, one-on-one.
00:41:38Now back with the Nitro Girls.
00:41:41As you heard Brains say, yes, Bill Goldberg, Goldberg, as he wants to be called, is here.
00:41:47And as we enjoy the Nitro Girls, want to give you another big announcement that this coming
00:41:51Saturday, April 4th, tickets go on sale for Thunder, which will be held on May 21st at
00:41:57the CSU Convocation Center in downtown Cleveland, Ohio.
00:42:00Tickets will go on sale this Saturday at the box office of Ticketmaster, plus the Giant and
00:42:04the Nitro Girls.
00:42:06You're watching the lovely ladies right now.
00:42:07They'll be at the Midway Mall Saturday beginning at 11 a.m.
00:42:10when tickets go on sale at the Ticketmaster location there when we bring Thunder to Cleveland.
00:42:16And, Brains, are you getting ready to go back to Indianapolis?
00:42:18You and Mean Gene at Karma Records when tickets go on sale for Nitro, which will be Monday,
00:42:24May 4th, at the Market Square Arena.
00:42:26I don't know if Indianapolis is ready for me and Mean Gene at the same time.
00:42:29I would agree with that.
00:42:31Great wrestling time.
00:42:32You're not kidding.
00:42:33And so is Cleveland.
00:42:33We look forward to going back to Cleveland.
00:42:35Is Cleveland open this time of year?
00:42:37Cleveland's one of the greatest cities in the United States.
00:42:39Take one look at this capacity crowd here at the United Center, and you'll realize how
00:42:43important those announcements about first-day ticket sales really are.
00:42:47Boy, they really are.
00:42:48You know, in the places we've been going all over the United States, people have been camping
00:42:51out the night before.
00:42:52Tickets hotter than a Final Four ticket or a World Series ticket or a Super Bowl ticket.
00:42:57All right, with that in mind, very briefly, this Friday, tickets go on sale for these
00:43:01great venues.
00:43:02Roanoke Civic Center.
00:43:03The date's Sunday, April 26th.
00:43:05Tickets go on sale this Friday, April 3rd.
00:43:07Wednesday, May 6th, we're going to be at Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Des Moines, Iowa.

00:43:13And we're going to be in the Expo Center in Topeka, Sunday, May 10th.
00:43:17Tickets go on sale this Friday, April 3rd.
00:43:19We're going to be in Omaha at the Arkansas Bend Arena box office.
00:43:24Axe Arben.
00:43:25Axe Arben, Nebraska spelled backwards.
00:43:26Axe Arben.
00:43:27Like Axe Ed Arben.
00:43:28Thursday, May 7th.
00:43:30Omaha, Nebraska.
00:43:31That's right.
00:43:31We're going to be there.
00:43:32Tickets go on sale this Saturday.
00:43:34And we'll be in Wichita at the Kansas Connoisseum Saturday, May 9th.
00:43:38In Wichita, Kansas.
00:43:39Tickets go on sale this Saturday.
00:43:41You know, Wichita is spelled backwards?
00:43:43Oh, my goodness.
00:43:44How often is that?
00:43:45All right.
00:43:45It's going to be...
00:43:46Psychosis.
00:43:53And the Dragon.
00:43:54And Dragon, look at this.
00:43:55He's so quick.
00:43:56You really can't keep up with him.
00:43:58Unless you're Psychosis.
00:43:59Equally up to the task.
00:44:01Lands on his feet.
00:44:02And down he goes.
00:44:03My goodness.
00:44:04And Psychosis with quite a winning streak.
00:44:06Lateral press gets a two count before Dragon kicks out.
00:44:09Members of Raven's flock have been on the losing edge recently against Psychosis.
00:44:16Lodi Kidman, to name just a couple.
00:44:20One, two.
00:44:21Cabrata-type moonsault back into the ring by Dragon for a two count.
00:44:27Roll up.
00:44:28Roll up.
00:44:28One.
00:44:29Roll through by Psychosis.
00:44:30Gets just two.
00:44:36Down he goes.
00:44:37Well, you know, as Psychosis goes back to the attack on the Ultimo Dragon,
00:44:43certainly out there, Raven's flock.
00:44:45And there's a man who we have seen many times here at ringside,
00:44:49who's not here this week, by the name of Lodi.
00:44:51And he's not there because of what happened at the hands of Psychosis, Mike.
00:44:55Certainly was a week ago tonight.
00:44:56That top rope, twisting, corkscrewed moonsault from Psychosis on to Lodi on the floor.
00:45:01And we understand that Lodi suffered a broken ankle.
00:45:04So he's not joining us here for Nitro this evening as a member of the flock.
00:45:08They had to put pins in his ankle, I guess.
00:45:10Two of them.
00:45:10Then they kicked him out of the hospital, up and down the halls in a wheelchair,
00:45:13writing signs, Dr. Feldman's a quack.
00:45:17All these different signs.
00:45:18It was disgusting.
00:45:19Suicide dive over the top of Psychosis.
00:45:21But hey, you could write signs and stand at ringside with a bum leg, can't you?
00:45:25Where in the world is he?
00:45:27Maybe the man has pride.
00:45:30That may be all he has.
00:45:32Oh, here comes Kidman.
00:45:33Speaking of that, maybe a little payback from the flock.
00:45:36Kidman and Riggs.
00:45:37Going right, man.
00:45:39And there you see Sick Boy out there as well.
00:45:42The referee is asking for the bell.
00:45:44This is a little revenge factor from behalf of Raven's flock.
00:45:47What happened to Lodi?
00:45:49You're not kidding.
00:45:51Whoa.
00:45:52And now the dragon helping Psychosis fend off Raven's flock.
00:45:58A drop kick.
00:45:59How about that?
00:46:00Working as a unit.
00:46:02Psychosis and the dragon holding Raven's flock at bay, but this match has been thrown out.
00:46:09Now fans will have more action still to come.
00:46:11Hollywood Hogan, Rowdy Roddy Piper.
00:46:14Who will Kevin Nash's partner be?
00:46:15And will we come back?
00:46:17And fans, don't forget, you can join us, Malice at the Palace, the audio only from the Ice Palace.
00:46:25This coming Thursday on WCWWWrestling.com.
00:46:30Hook in to the internet.
00:46:35What a year, 1998 has been, and you know, we're only three months deep into it.
00:46:40Shank of the year.
00:46:41Shank of the year.
00:46:42Shank of the year.
00:46:43We certainly are heading to the month of April, where Sting will defend the world title a man against a man he thought he trusted not too long ago in the Macho Man, Randy Savage of the NWO.
00:46:53And certainly 1998 through 1997 will be remembered when this man rose to prominence based on his incredible mark.
00:47:04Listen to this.
00:47:05Based on his incredible tenacity, intensity, the man delivers, Goldberg.
00:47:17They're on their feet at the United Center.
00:47:19Well, like Tony says, he may be the new mailman.
00:47:35Step aside, Tom Malone, because this man right here, Goldberg, he does deliver.
00:47:40He's got a big man in there, Big Ray Traylor, the man that owns two spam keys.
00:47:48I'll tell you something, he's going to have his hands full with this big man from Cobb County.
00:47:52You're not kidding.
00:47:53He is.
00:47:53As a matter of fact, you can definitely say this is one of his toughest tests for Goldberg.
00:47:59Goldberg, obviously, though, fears no man.
00:48:03He's going for 66.
00:48:0467, right?
00:48:0566, right now, consecutive wins, going for number 67.
00:48:10Well, that's Gritsky's number, isn't it?
00:48:1166?
00:48:13I guess it was.
00:48:15Used to be.
00:48:15Used to be, back with the Oilers.
00:48:18Look at him standing.
00:48:19Look at this.
00:48:21Oh!
00:48:24Look at Traylor, he can't believe that.
00:48:27Just a look of shock on the face of Ray Traylor as the competition gets tougher for Goldberg.
00:48:32You're not kidding.
00:48:33And Traylor taking the fight right to Goldberg, hooks up with him.
00:48:35And Billy Silverman tries to get between him.
00:48:38You know, Billy is a great referee, but I'd let these guys go at it.
00:48:41Sure, let him go.
00:48:42You're not kidding.
00:48:43Well, that's what we want to see.
00:48:45You know, we have kind of relaxed the rules as of late.
00:48:48And the fans want to see it as well.
00:48:49Many still standing here.
00:48:51Is he going to be able to pick Big Traylor up for that slam?
00:48:53That's the big question.
00:48:54Oh, no, no, no.
00:48:55Oh, a little intimidating.
00:49:00A little jaw jacking going on.
00:49:02Trash talking by Traylor.
00:49:03Oh!
00:49:03How about that?
00:49:05He's already tough.
00:49:06He's smart.
00:49:09He went one way and turned around.
00:49:11That rang the bell of Ray Traylor.
00:49:13Yeah, the key, though, was a little deep move that's done.
00:49:15Took a step to the right, came back the other way with it.
00:49:18But Traylor up to the task.
00:49:20Right hand rocks the head of Goldberg.
00:49:22Goldberg.
00:49:24Full-on dragon twists, pulling, and Goldberg loves it.
00:49:27Goldberg takes him down.
00:49:29Oh!
00:49:31I think Traylor knows right now he's got his hands full.
00:49:34He don't know what to do to beat this man.
00:49:36He's giving him his best, hit him with his best shots.
00:49:38And the big man, Goldberg, all he does is look at him and growl.
00:49:41Traylor holds his ground, sends your man, picks up, oh, he picked up Goldberg, and he drove
00:49:47Goldberg down.
00:49:48Look, Goldberg!
00:49:49Look how quickly he gets to his feet!
00:49:50Here he is up!
00:49:51Goldberg is up and standing.
00:49:52Oh, yeah!
00:49:53Here we go!
00:49:54Here we go!
00:49:55Come on, Windy City, let's hear ya!
00:50:00The spike, the prelude to the end for Goldberg!
00:50:04You may get your question answered, Brain.
00:50:06Can he get him up?
00:50:07I say he can.
00:50:08Over 300 pounds!
00:50:10This has to be the biggest man yet!
00:50:13He's got him up!
00:50:14Yes, he did!
00:50:15Yes!
00:50:16Count that man out!
00:50:19Number 67!
00:50:21Here we go!
00:50:23With authority!
00:50:25B-57!
00:50:27Who's he talking to?
00:50:28He's talking!
00:50:29Look at the head on that!
00:50:30The block is holding back Saturn!
00:50:33That's the best thing they've ever done to Saturn!
00:50:36Look at the head on that thing!
00:50:38Trying to dare Saturn to get in.
00:50:40Saturn being held back.
00:50:42Let him go!
00:50:43Let him go!
00:50:44You're not kidding.
00:50:45We can go with two jackhammers and one nine.
00:50:47Turn him loose!
00:50:48Can we?
00:50:49We're gonna find out who Kevin Nash is going to be when we come back on Nitro.
00:50:56Hold that call, will you tonight?
00:50:58The WCW Monday Nitro is sponsored by Starburst Fruit Juice.
00:51:04Need a boost?
00:51:05Give it some juice.
00:51:06Ladies and gentlemen, this is the WCW Monday Nitro main event.
00:51:21A doubleheader.
00:51:22First, a tag team match.
00:51:25Followed by Hogan versus Piper in the ultimate grudge match.
00:51:31As the ongoing battle between NWO and WCW continues.
00:51:38From the United Center, home of the world champion Chicago Bulls.
00:51:44Are you ready?
00:51:50Wrestling fans, are you ready?
00:52:00For the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching around the world.
00:52:10Ladies and gentlemen, let's get ready to rumble!
00:52:19Let's do it.
00:52:21Boy, oh boy.
00:52:22Can't wait to find who's gonna step out here.
00:52:25That's the NWO music first off the bat here, guys.
00:52:28Don't have to wait long, do we?
00:52:30I don't know if he's got a friend.
00:52:34We'll do it.
00:52:35New World Order.
00:52:41Hey.
00:52:42And now, ladies and gentlemen, coming to the ring, representing the New World Order.
00:52:50Wearing black with red trim, weighing 317 pounds.
00:52:56He is without a doubt, one of the old time greats among the big men of professional wrestling.
00:53:04He comes to us from Scottsdale, Arizona.
00:53:07He is one of the founding fathers of NWO and a member of the tag team champions of the world, the Outsiders.
00:53:17Ladies and gentlemen, Kevin.
00:53:24It just very well may be a handicap match, guys.
00:53:28Can he take his shirt off the way Hogan takes his shirt off?
00:53:30I noticed that, and so did the fans.
00:53:32They erupted on that one.
00:53:33You hear Michael Buffer say, who's your partner?
00:53:37Who's your partner?
00:53:38Get the other guys out.
00:53:40All right, well, here come his opponents.
00:53:45He said, get the other guys out here.
00:53:47That's what's happening here.
00:53:48Suspense continues.
00:53:49Wow.
00:53:50Ladies and gentlemen, as we wait for Kevin Nash's partner, let's meet the opponents.
00:53:56Coming to the ring, representing the WCW.
00:54:01First, from right here in the windy city of Chicago, Illinois.
00:54:06Weighing 261 pounds.
00:54:09One of the sport's greatest physical specimens.
00:54:12The master of the torture act of doom.
00:54:15Here's the total package.
00:54:17The next new girl.
00:54:24And his partner wearing black.
00:54:26Weighing 249 pounds.
00:54:29Randy Savage.
00:54:32Randy Savage.
00:54:33That doesn't mean he's Nash's partner, though.
00:54:36But it means he's attacking Sting brutally.
00:54:39On the floor.
00:54:40Oh, no, Piledriver.
00:54:42Oh, my.
00:54:43Well, you tell me he's not the most dangerous man in this sport.
00:54:48And you know, he's got the world title belt.
00:54:53And he's beating Sting with it.
00:54:56This is a man that Sting helped leave the arena.
00:55:01Remember that?
00:55:02Helped him escape.
00:55:03And it is his partner.
00:55:04It is his partner.
00:55:05That's it.
00:55:06That's it.
00:55:07We know now.
00:55:08And a tag.
00:55:12Savage.
00:55:13Nash and Savage.
00:55:15Talk about driving the wedge even further between Kevin Nash and Hollywood Hogan.
00:55:20Boy, you're not kidding.
00:55:21And didn't Savage make the statement when he defeats Sting and becomes champion he's gonna take over NWO?
00:55:27What do you think is going through Hogan mind right now watching this?
00:55:30You know, this baffles the mind because, I mean, no one has been able to trust the Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:55:39Not Hogan, not Sting.
00:55:43And the Macho Man showing Sting just a little bit of what he has to look forward to coming up on April 19th.
00:55:51But Sting has more than enough reason to get back in the ring with Savage, be it a world title bat, this notwithstanding.
00:56:03Talk about total domination by the team of Kevin Nash and the Macho Man Randy Savage from the outset even before the opening bell with the attack up the aisle by Savage.
00:56:13Well, it appears to me Savage has a plan, he has his mind set, and that's becoming champion of the world and taking over the NWO.
00:56:23Pushing the boot to the face now, Savage and, Savage and Nash showing a lot of camaraderie and a lot of trust.
00:56:33That being the operative word here, something that Hogan and Nash did not show at all.
00:56:38Sting vainly trying to pull himself back to the ring, and Savage will lead and get up to the apron.
00:56:45Don't even let him stand.
00:56:48This is where Savage is the most dangerous out of the field, as Sting is finding out firsthand.
00:56:53And he's most dangerous too, Mike, is when you're wounded.
00:56:55One, two.
00:56:56And he knows when you're wounded, and that's when he really starts sinking the teeth into you.
00:57:00It's amazing that Sting can even stand from that pile driver on the floor, guys.
00:57:05I'm not sure Sting knows where he's at.
00:57:07Boy, trying to get the coat off.
00:57:09But look at this, that coat hooks the arms behind him.
00:57:14And unfortunately for Sting, Savage pulled away from the attack.
00:57:18Now Savage back over to the corner again.
00:57:22He's a madman.
00:57:23Oh, gonna post him.
00:57:24Posting Sting.
00:57:29Meanwhile, at the mercy of two men in the ring is Lex Luger.
00:57:34Look at Savage.
00:57:35First he goes after Sting.
00:57:36Now he's after Luger.
00:57:37He'll fight anybody.
00:57:39You know, when I saw Savage run in, and Mike, you said it correctly, and you did too, Bobby.
00:57:44We're not sure if he's the partner or not.
00:57:46When we found out he was the partner for Kevin Nash, I can only imagine the react on the face of Hollywood Hogan, watching from his private dressing room in the back.
00:57:57How about the reaction from Eric Bischoff, the man who has tried to keep the NWO together, tried to be the peacemaker.
00:58:04Oh, he's got a chair.
00:58:05Of course he does.
00:58:06He's used a belt.
00:58:07He's used everything he gave his hands on.
00:58:09Sting drops down.
00:58:11Savage will pick him up to use the jab.
00:58:13Oh, jabs it right into the gut of Sting.
00:58:16And unfortunately, still Luger at the mercy of two men.
00:58:22Back elbow.
00:58:23Puts Luger down to the match.
00:58:24And now the tag again.
00:58:25And here comes the Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:58:28You gotta admit, guys, great teamwork with Savage and Nash.
00:58:32Excellent teamwork.
00:58:34They knew what they had to do.
00:58:35Elbow plant and a two only that time.
00:58:38And Luger showing his tenacity, his determination, coming back.
00:58:42And meanwhile, look at this.
00:58:44It's now Kevin Nash assaulting Sting on the floor.
00:58:47Sting's had no offense all the time.
00:58:49No offense?
00:58:50He's not been in the match at all?
00:58:51Neither has Luger.
00:58:52And that's the way the NWO likes it.
00:58:55This has been domination from Nash and Savage.
00:58:58Oh!
00:58:59That's one attempt at an offensive move, but a sidestep by the Macho Man that time.
00:59:04Sort of a homecoming for both of those men in the ring, Savage and Luger.
00:59:08Now the tag is in to Kevin Nash.
00:59:12Luger.
00:59:13Look at this.
00:59:14Luger has no defense.
00:59:15He can't even cover up.
00:59:17He's just trying to pull himself up.
00:59:18And he's at the mercy.
00:59:20As Nash steps on the throat, Sting has mounted somewhat of a comeback.
00:59:26Here comes the offense.
00:59:28Back in the ring.
00:59:29Here comes Sting.
00:59:30And here comes Luger.
00:59:32Here comes Team WCW.
00:59:34Pick up.
00:59:35Sting will do it again.
00:59:36Make it three.
00:59:37Meanwhile, on the left of your screen.
00:59:39Luger, right hand.
00:59:40Down goes Savage.
00:59:42Well, maybe Nash and maybe Savage have just punched themselves out.
00:59:46Maybe it's time now for Sting and Luger to do a little butt kicking.
00:59:50Sting ducks his head.
00:59:52Savage punched him to the other rope.
00:59:54Back body drop.
00:59:55Oh!
00:59:56Out goes Randy Savage.
00:59:58Match continues.
01:00:01Luger and Nash.
01:00:03Nash gouts Luger in the eye.
01:00:04I do believe that time.
01:00:05Sting's gone on the floor after Savage.
01:00:09Sting is on now.
01:00:13Oh!
01:00:14It's Hollywood Hogan.
01:00:15Hollywood Hogan went for Sting.
01:00:17He went for Sting, and Sting sent him to the ring post.
01:00:22See, Hogan couldn't take it anymore.
01:00:24You're not kidding, Sting or Splash on the back of Savage.
01:00:28In the ring, Luger motioning for the rack.
01:00:30Talk to the rack!
01:00:31He's got Nash up, he's got him racked.
01:00:34Look!
01:00:35There's the Disciple.
01:00:36The Disciple has come in.
01:00:39Into the gut.
01:00:43On the jawbreaker.
01:00:45And look, Hogan's got the attention of the referee.
01:00:50The referee did not see any of this.
01:00:52And he rolls Nash over.
01:00:53And that man's here to help Hogan at any cost.
01:00:56One.
01:00:57Two.
01:00:58It's over.
01:01:02It's over.
01:01:03The three count.
01:01:06And Roddy.
01:01:07There he is.
01:01:08There's Piper.
01:01:09Roddy, Piper's come out.
01:01:10He's not gonna let Hogan go back.
01:01:12He's not gonna go right to the ring right now.
01:01:14Pull him back here, Piper.
01:01:16Yeah, Hogan came out.
01:01:18And say what you want to about non-trust.
01:01:22Non-trust, distrust, not getting along.
01:01:25Hogan and the NWO helped out Nash and Savage, their own members this time, guys.
01:01:31There's no question about that.
01:01:33And as he promised, the Disciple would be there to cover his back.
01:01:36And he certainly has as they double team on Piper.
01:01:39Well, he's always been there.
01:01:40Get a look at this.
01:01:42The Disciple drops Luger.
01:01:43It's like he broke his jaw.
01:01:45Takes Nash.
01:01:48Rolls him over.
01:01:49Just gotta have a hand on his body.
01:01:51Sneaks out of the ring.
01:01:52Nash gets a one, two, three right here on Luger.
01:01:55Vince, Piper and Hogan are scheduled to wrestle when we come back.
01:01:59We gotta break him up to get him back in the ring.
01:02:01It's been a wildest night as we've seen in many, many, many ages.
01:02:08And here we go.
01:02:11Promises to get even wilder.
01:02:13I've never seen a match where they fought back to the locker room area prior to their scheduled matchup in the ring.
01:02:22Did they ever get them separated?
01:02:24Who knows?
01:02:25Michael Buffer's back in the ring.
01:02:27I guess, Michael, you can go ahead and talk anytime you want.
01:02:30I don't know if this...
01:02:31Oh, they stopped the music.
01:02:33And we really kind of almost expected that, guys.
01:02:38I don't think there's gonna be much of an entrance here.
01:02:41As a matter of fact, they may have been, and we tried to check during the commercial break,
01:02:45they may have been pounding on each other all through this two and a half minute commercial break we had.
01:02:50They may be fighting in the amphitheater from here.
01:02:52That's right.
01:02:54And they are.
01:02:55As a matter of fact, here they are, Piper and Hogan.
01:02:58The fight finally back into the arena.
01:03:02Hollywood Hogan spills all the way down the entryway.
01:03:05This is a war.
01:03:06You're not kidding, it is.
01:03:08This is Nitro.
01:03:09This is WCW.
01:03:11This is Hogan getting his tail cap.
01:03:13And there went the Disciple.
01:03:16Yeah, why not beat him up too?
01:03:19Hello, double coconut time.
01:03:21Yeah.
01:03:22Roddy Piper sending the Disciple, spearing the man into the safety rail.
01:03:33He's taking care of both of them.
01:03:35This is crazy.
01:03:37This is crazy.
01:03:38This is Piper.
01:03:39That's what it is.
01:03:41This is NWO, it's Hollywood.
01:03:43One of the toughest, no nonsense, come straight at you fighters in the history of our sport, Roddy Piper.
01:03:51He's been doing that since he started.
01:03:52Piper said earlier it was time to focus on Hogan.
01:03:55Be prepared for the fight of your life.
01:03:57And here it is.
01:03:58It's a match, fans, that only pay-per-view audiences have seen.
01:04:03And now you're gonna see it here live on Nitro, on TNT.
01:04:07Piper, Hogan.
01:04:12To the side of the head.
01:04:13Hogan mounts a comeback.
01:04:14Piper daring, begging him to hit him again.
01:04:16Come on, let's see what you got.
01:04:18Come on, Hollywood.
01:04:19Telling him to bring it on.
01:04:20Yeah, what can Hogan do that hasn't already been done to Piper?
01:04:24In his life.
01:04:25When you watch Piper, when he starts coming at Hogan, he's got some of the fastest hands in this sport.
01:04:31Back and forth they go, toe-to-toe.
01:04:34Two of the greatest stars to ever grace the squared circle.
01:04:38And a little poke to the eyes for good measure.
01:04:41A little Larry Fine there.
01:04:43Out to the floor.
01:04:45Piper giving chase.
01:04:49Ring post and steps.
01:04:54Look at the disciples.
01:04:57As he runs them together.
01:05:00He's got them both down.
01:05:05I'm getting out of here.
01:05:07It's gonna spill over here.
01:05:08I know it.
01:05:09I just know it.
01:05:10Let's hang in here.
01:05:11This is like you said, Mike.
01:05:12What a war.
01:05:13What a war.
01:05:15And look at Hogan trying to get back.
01:05:17Hogan trying to get to his feet.
01:05:19Look at Piper.
01:05:20He's ripping.
01:05:21He's fighting.
01:05:22He's doing everything he can.
01:05:23Combination blows.
01:05:24Right, left, mid-section.
01:05:25Look at Piper.
01:05:26That's his hands.
01:05:27That's those hands you talked about.
01:05:30Right and left.
01:05:32Hogan goes down.
01:05:33Piper not trying to cover.
01:05:39I told you he's got his number.
01:05:41He's always had Hogan's number.
01:05:43He's making a statement here.
01:05:45Stomps on the sternum.
01:05:48And Hogan.
01:05:51Seeking refugees in the corner, but Piper's relentless.
01:05:55Stands him up.
01:06:00Pressure to the ears to try to knock him back down.
01:06:02Hogan Socks!
01:06:03Hogan Socks!
01:06:04Hogan Socks!
01:06:05Hogan!
01:06:06And Piper loves the reaction of the crowd here at the United Center.
01:06:09Hogan Socks!
01:06:10They're saying Hogan plays for the Socks?
01:06:11Something like that, I do believe.
01:06:13To the side of the head.
01:06:15Oh, my goodness.
01:06:18Momentary distraction of referee Nick Patrick by the Disciple.
01:06:22Allows Hogan to take the shortcut and go downstairs.
01:06:26Well, he's back up.
01:06:27Hogan's back on his feet.
01:06:29Well, turnabout is fair play.
01:06:34It even destroyed?
01:06:36I guess it did.
01:06:38Low blow city here.
01:06:41It's amazing how much these two men hate each other.
01:06:46And they're fighting on their knees now.
01:06:49This is truly a fight to the finish.
01:06:53And just imagine what's gonna happen so many possibilities
01:06:58when they can wield a baseball bat at Spring Stampede.
01:07:02Yeah, then factor in the Giant.
01:07:04Plus, what about Kevin Nash?
01:07:06Yes.
01:07:07That team.
01:07:08That team.
01:07:09Can you imagine?
01:07:10Hogan came to their aid tonight, guys.
01:07:11Say what you want to.
01:07:12We can talk all about it.
01:07:13We can analyze it all we want.
01:07:15We can point fingers, talk about trust.
01:07:17But Hogan...
01:07:18He came to the aid of the Macho Man and Kevin Nash.
01:07:20Well, Hogan said he'd watch his back.
01:07:22And if they got anything to do about it afterwards,
01:07:24after Stark Stampede, let's go.
01:07:26Let's go see what you got.
01:07:28And again, just choking away.
01:07:32No regard for the rules.
01:07:34And everyone's still standing.
01:07:35Forget about trying to pin a man.
01:07:37Forget about trying to win a match.
01:07:39This is Nitro.
01:07:40This is the most watched television program in professional wrestling history.
01:07:44And with the millions upon millions of households and fans as their audience here tonight,
01:07:50they're out to end a career or to make a point.
01:07:53Piper crumbles in the corner as Hogan puts the big boots to him.
01:07:58This is berserk, the way these two go at each other.
01:08:02And obviously, Nick Patrick doing the right thing.
01:08:06He's letting him go at it.
01:08:07Piper all of a sudden gets a surge of energy, a surge of adrenaline, a second wind, if you will.
01:08:14And Nick Patrick just standing back.
01:08:16They're doing everything.
01:08:17And Nick Patrick's letting him go at it.
01:08:19And a pen on the back for the referee.
01:08:21There's a disciple.
01:08:23Tripping up Piper.
01:08:25And now throwing Piper's back.
01:08:28That lower back right in that ring apron.
01:08:30Right on the hard part, that wooden solid part of the ring apron.
01:08:34While Hogan distracted the referee.
01:08:37Good tag team work.
01:08:39And it's not even a tag team match.
01:08:41You're right.
01:08:42But it's an NWO match is what it is.
01:08:44And Piper now look, just dangling at the mercy of both hands of Hollywood Hogan.
01:08:49What a war, what a battleground we've seen here at the United Center.
01:08:53So good you can hang with us through these three hours.
01:08:56It's incredible.
01:08:57And it's a sleeper hole.
01:08:58Again, again.
01:08:59Piper gets him in the sleeper.
01:09:01And the Disciple comes in.
01:09:03Nick Patrick's seen it out.
01:09:04He's gonna throw it out, and he gets thrown out.
01:09:07And there's a drawbreaker.
01:09:10That's the move that the Disciple calls the apocalypse.
01:09:14That's what it is.
01:09:15You're right.
01:09:16And Piper's laid out.
01:09:17Piper is out.
01:09:18You're right.
01:09:23Holding Piper out.
01:09:24Oh, my goodness.
01:09:26Big Nash is here.
01:09:27Oh, my goodness.
01:09:28What in the world is gonna happen here?
01:09:31They dropped Roddy Piper.
01:09:34This is bad.
01:09:35This is bad.
01:09:36Well, what role is Kevin Nash going to play?
01:09:44Well, Kevin Nash firmly a part of the NWO.
01:09:50Holding Piper at the mercy of Hogan.
01:09:53Oh, my goodness.
01:09:55Wrong turn.
01:09:56Wrong man.
01:09:57Wrong man is right.
01:10:00He came in to help Hogan.
01:10:04Oh, hello from the heavens.
01:10:06The Giant.
01:10:07The Giant is here.
01:10:13Nash and Hogan.
01:10:14A Chevy match going on.
01:10:16Disciple tries to be the peacemaker.
01:10:18And they all take the low road now when the Giant's in to stand over Piper.
01:10:23There's gonna be a meeting.
01:10:26There's gonna be a collision.
01:10:28And the baseball bat is gonna be high above for either team to capture.
01:10:33But, Tony, what's gonna happen Thursday on Thunder?
01:10:36This isn't gonna be settled yet.
01:10:39I can't think.
01:10:40There is no Thunder Thursday.
01:10:42My God.
01:10:43We're getting rattled.
01:10:44Feels like, huh?
01:10:45The boot to the face last week.
01:10:47Yeah, it's for life, brother.
01:10:49Yeah, big mistake.
01:10:51That's right, just be ready for the pay-per-view, brother.
01:10:54My God.
01:10:55You gotta hold your end up.
01:10:56What do you mean?
01:10:57Take the shot when you can.
01:10:59Yeah, take it now.
01:11:03Maybe the shot's gonna come.
01:11:06And look at Piper back up at the Giants and come on, let's start it right now.
01:11:12And I tell you, these guys will fight all the way up until Denver.
01:11:17You can better believe that.
01:11:19I'm sure we can find some hell that's here.
01:11:21You too.
01:11:22Pay-per-view.
01:11:23Fans, we are out of time.
01:11:24That's it, man.
01:11:25There's no Thunder Thursday.
01:11:26WCW Saturday night this coming weekend.
01:11:29And back next Monday, live from Miami.
01:11:32You too.
01:11:33Yeah.
01:11:34I'll see.
01:11:35That was crazy, boy.
01:11:37What are we doing here?
01:11:38Yeah.
01:11:39The game that I need to do is I-I don't забute.
01:11:41I had never shown you again.
01:11:42They told you that I Hoffeny on whether or not it was a fire party.
01:11:43And you too can justify thrive on any time.
01:11:44How I got it, we three of 10 minutes.
01:11:45It was amazing.
01:11:46That had no outside.
01:11:47We had no Embiotic.
01:11:48Maybe it's me, I said!
01:11:49Or a mixture.
01:11:50May I have a little話.
