00:00:00WCW Monday Nitro is back.
00:00:06Ladies and gentlemen, Pro Wrestling's number one program is back in a regular time.
00:00:12The Nitro Girls begin things, and we are live in Evansville, Indiana for three hours.
00:00:19That's right, tonight, three hours live, only on TNT.
00:00:24And in here in Evansville, Indiana, at Roberts Stadium,
00:00:28they are jam-packed to the Raptors in a venue that's been sold out for literally months.
00:00:33Tony Schiavone, along with Iron Mike today, and the one, the only, living legend,
00:00:39Larry Zabisco, for this first part of this three-hour program
00:00:44as you look on live here in Evansville, Indiana.
00:00:49The long-awaited return of Nitro at its regular time slot.
00:00:54Now, through the end of the year, we're going to be here at 8 o'clock Eastern Time
00:00:59and on the air for three solid hours live.
00:01:03As you know, as you've come to know, for the past couple of years,
00:01:08this is the place for the greatest wrestling action in the world.
00:01:12And tonight, ladies and gentlemen, we are not going to disappoint.
00:01:16Are you ready for this feature bout tonight?
00:01:20It's going to be Sting and the Giants together in a tag team main event against Lex Luger and Sting.
00:01:31Now, you ask me how in the world can this happen?
00:01:34If you saw us Thursday night on Thunder, you know how it can happen
00:01:39because you know that the NWO has a Sting of their own.
00:01:44It was very apparent, regardless of the lies that NWO, Hogan, NWO Hollywood can tell you,
00:01:51we have an NWO Sting.
00:01:54And you know, this all came about when Sting, the real Sting and the Giant,
00:01:58won the World Tag Team Championship at Slamboree.
00:02:02And then Sting had to make a choice, Mike Denae.
00:02:04He certainly did, Tony.
00:02:05And we all witnessed that choice.
00:02:08Sting turning down the NWO in general and in specific, the Giant.
00:02:13Well, let's take a look at what happened on WCW Monday Night Troll.
00:02:16Eric Bischoff was calling Sting out.
00:02:21The moment we have all been waiting for, let's go, come on.
00:02:25I say no.
00:02:26God keep us waiting.
00:02:30What about you, Osman?
00:02:32I don't know, he's had that poker face.
00:02:35It's just so tough to really get any kind of a feeling at all, any kind of a gut feeling.
00:02:38You just don't want to commit yourself.
00:02:43Wishy-washy.
00:02:45All right, you two shut up.
00:02:46Let's watch this.
00:02:46Yeah, you shut up.
00:02:47Stick around and find out what he has to say.
00:02:49This is really important stuff right here.
00:02:52I know!
00:02:53I know!
00:02:53I know!
00:02:54I know!
00:02:56I know!
00:02:57I know!
00:02:58I know!
00:02:59I know!
00:03:00I know!
00:03:01I know!
00:03:02I know!
00:03:03I know!
00:03:04I know!
00:03:05I know!
00:03:06Look at that!
00:03:07And he's choking Sting!
00:03:08The Giant is choking and mauling Sting!
00:03:12Got him right from behind.
00:03:14Sting shouldn't have spit in the man's face though.
00:03:16And then don't turn your back on the largest athlete in pro sports.
00:03:19What a relentless attack!
00:03:20Sting is out!
00:03:21Look at this!
00:03:22Look at this!
00:03:23Look at this walking towards Sting!
00:03:28So many questions about Kevin Nash coming out that night hovering over Sting.
00:03:33And then, you know, Larry, this past Thursday on Thunder, the Giant came out and said, hey,
00:03:38everything's good between me and Sting.
00:03:40But we found out that was not the case.
00:03:42There was an NWO Sting that came out.
00:03:44Yeah, no, the Giant is someone that can't be trusted again.
00:03:46Kevin Nash will do anything he can to disassemble Team Hollywood.
00:03:51Who can trust who?
00:03:53That's the big question.
00:03:54The answer, however, though, is Sting made his decision.
00:03:58Sting made his decision and stuck by it.
00:04:00Let's take a look at what the Giants said to Lex Luger and what happened at the end of Thunder last week.
00:04:05Sting and I had a little disagreement.
00:04:10Now I got a little bit carried away with Sting when he spit in my face.
00:04:14I don't think he fully understand the question I was imposing.
00:04:18So we went back and I tried calling him and he's a little under the weather right now.
00:04:24That's why he's not here.
00:04:26But the main thing was I told him I was sorry.
00:04:29You know, I got a little testy, got a little upset.
00:04:31But Sting and I are fine.
00:04:32Hey, we're tag team champs together.
00:04:34He's made the right choice.
00:04:36Sting's NWO all the way, right along with me.
00:04:39Sting and I are the NWO World Tag Team Champions.
00:04:43So I don't know what Sting you talk to, but I know one thing for sure.
00:04:48What you're saying is a total unadulterated lie.
00:04:53I'm out here because if you want to walk around with those flim flam belts you got off Kevin Nash with Scott Hall, that's fine.
00:05:00If you walk around with that cheesy black and white shirt, that's fine.
00:05:05But you jumped out on Sting and now you're lying your you know what off.
00:05:10And Giant, I had a main event match late around the night, but you know what?
00:05:14I've cleared a slate.
00:05:15How about I just make a little challenge?
00:05:17I let you make your singles NWOW showcase your Giant self right here in Cleveland,
00:05:25right here on Thunder against the Total Packers.
00:05:28I'm gonna give you the same choice I gave Sting.
00:05:38You can make the right choice or you can make the wrong choice.
00:05:43You and I have been tag champions together.
00:05:46We've run the road together.
00:05:48What's your answer, Lex?
00:05:49Are you gonna be my partner?
00:05:51We're always looking for a few good men.
00:05:53Are you gonna jump on board the team?
00:05:55What's your answer?
00:05:56How about it, Lex?
00:05:58Give it a shot.
00:06:05You know, Tony, I guess my answer is stay Miss Sting.
00:06:10Whoa.
00:06:11He gave it a shot right between the eyes.
00:06:13Oh my.
00:06:14Oh, and here come the wrestlers into the ring.
00:06:16There goes Evan Conranges.
00:06:18He's chokeslammed.
00:06:19The Luchadores, Damian and Ciclopay are down.
00:06:22Luger heads to the back.
00:06:24Silver King.
00:06:28Well, remember where you were tonight, guys.
00:06:30The night the Giant went down.
00:06:32Something's happening.
00:06:33Something's happening.
00:06:34Luger's-
00:06:35Everyone's looking the other way.
00:06:36Whoa.
00:06:37It's Sting.
00:06:38Sting.
00:06:39Sting has come in.
00:06:40Sting has come in.
00:06:42Can we get a-
00:06:45Luger's in trouble now.
00:06:48Big trouble.
00:06:50Oh.
00:06:51Oh my goodness.
00:06:53Luger said he talked to Sting at home on the phone.
00:06:57That can't be Sting.
00:06:58Can we get a good look at him?
00:07:00No airplane travels that fast.
00:07:03I don't believe so, but the Giant with a massive choke slam has put Luger down.
00:07:07But look at the t-shirt.
00:07:08The NWO black and white Hollywood Hogan t-shirt on this man.
00:07:13Now he drapes one across Luger.
00:07:16That's not-
00:07:17That can't be Sting.
00:07:20And it was apparent that it was not the real Sting.
00:07:22That was the NWO Sting.
00:07:24NWO Hollywood, namely the Giant after their own tricks and fans.
00:07:28Tonight, it will be the Giant one half of the world tag team champs and his partner,
00:07:33the NWO Sting against Lex Luger and the other half of the world tag team champs, the man
00:07:38known as the real Sting, Larry.
00:07:39Well, I'm not talking about our commissioner, Rowdy Roddy, but it's time for the new world
00:07:44order to pay the piper.
00:07:46Ladies and gentlemen, we'll have our first bout when we come back live from Evansville,
00:07:50Indiana on Nitro.
00:07:52Let's go.
00:07:53Let's go.
00:08:22Welcome back, fans.
00:08:27And Raven is making his way to the ring here, followed by his riot squad.
00:08:34Now, when he's coming to the ring, we're not so sure what he's gonna do here.
00:08:38If he's gonna maybe make some sort of a challenge for a match here or have something to say.
00:08:43You know, being Raven, being in charge of the flock has not been a very safe place to be as of late, Mike.
00:08:49Well, all I know is if Mortis is around,
00:08:52he's gonna need to have those riot control policemen to watch his back.
00:08:58Can you believe they let Modi back in here?
00:09:00Join me while I discuss two people, one who I care deeply for,
00:09:06and the other who I despise with unbridled passion.
00:09:12Come here.
00:09:14Mortis, you've attempted to humiliate
00:09:18and embarrass me with your repeated sneak attacks.
00:09:24But remember, as the path grows brighter, it also grows darker.
00:09:30And I will be your guide down Agony's bleak path.
00:09:35I will be the nightmare in your dreams that causes you to wake up at 3 in the morning sweaty and in tears and crying for your mother's love.
00:09:57And so it is written.
00:09:59And so it shall come to pass.
00:10:01Now I'd like to discuss Saturn.
00:10:04Saturn and I have been friends since childhood.
00:10:09What about me, Saturn?
00:10:11What about Raven?
00:10:12Who drove you to school when you were too poor to afford a car?
00:10:25Who was there to console you when Sheila broke your heart in 11th grade?
00:10:31I did.
00:10:32Who saved you last week from Hammer?
00:10:34I did.
00:10:35What about me?
00:10:37What about Raven?
00:10:38Saturn, your friendship means everything to me.
00:10:47And I'll do whatever it takes to have you stand beside me.
00:10:51I'll fire the flock.
00:10:53I don't need the flock.
00:10:55All I need is you.
00:10:56You standing beside me.
00:10:58I'll get rid of each and every one of you.
00:11:00You're fired, you're fired, and you're fired.
00:11:04You're fired.
00:11:05Now come back, Saturn.
00:11:07Holy smokes.
00:11:08He's just firing people right.
00:11:10What do you mean, boss?
00:11:12Look at this.
00:11:13The even flow for Lodi.
00:11:16Just mad.
00:11:17Saturn, come back.
00:11:18Come on, Saturn.
00:11:20Just me and you, Saturn.
00:11:23Come back, Saturn.
00:11:25Now!
00:11:26Now!
00:11:27For Raven, tough times right now.
00:11:36Saturn announced that he was not a member of the flock.
00:11:39He was Raven's friend.
00:11:41And then the attacks by Mortis from seemingly everywhere in many different disguises.
00:11:48As he looks out and the fans chant towards Raven, let's hear these comments.
00:11:56From Glacier.
00:11:57Even before I debuted in WCW, there was a lot of fanfare and hype.
00:12:06Why?
00:12:07Because I was that good.
00:12:09And after I started wrestling, I was given the most awesome entrance and exit that pro wrestling had ever seen.
00:12:17Also, because I was that good.
00:12:21And I brought with me the most devastating move ever in pro wrestling.
00:12:25The cryonic kick.
00:12:27The kick I created.
00:12:29And with all of this, I knew sooner or later, there'd be imitators.
00:12:34So in comes Perry Saturn.
00:12:37Announcing that all of a sudden his kick is better than mine.
00:12:43Come on, Saturn.
00:12:45Look at you.
00:12:46Look at the way you dress.
00:12:47The way you carry yourself.
00:12:49You call yourself a professional?
00:12:51I tell you what.
00:12:54You want to steal what is mine?
00:12:57Just remember, I created that kick.
00:13:01And what I create, I can destroy.
00:13:04So, you've drawn the line in the sand.
00:13:07You name the time and the place.
00:13:09We'll go head to head.
00:13:10I'll put my kick up against yours.
00:13:12We'll see who's best.
00:13:13Just remember this.
00:13:15Now, I'm not only out to defeat you, but I'm out to demolish this myth known as Saturn.
00:13:27This portion of WCW Monday Nitro is brought to you by Foul Believe.

00:14:39It's still to come.
00:14:40Another grand prize to get the Nitro girls at your Nitro party.
00:14:44All right, guys.
00:14:45So much dissension.
00:14:46So many problems between two athletes who at one time had a mutual respect for each other.
00:14:51We're talking about Booker T and Chris Benoit.
00:14:55Friction that has developed over the past couple of months.
00:14:58And it's all because both men really blame each other for not getting the world television title around their waist.
00:15:04Well, yeah.
00:15:05There's a lot of guys that want the title.
00:15:06But Benoit, Booker T, two wrestling machines.
00:15:09I don't know if it's so much a friction as just the level of competition between two men so evenly but differently matched.
00:15:18And when I announced on Thunder on Thursday, Mike, that Booker T was named number one contender, that touched off a wildfire.
00:15:24Oh, it certainly did.
00:15:25We heard from the Canadian Crippler Chris Benoit as well as saw the return of Booker T's brother Stevie Ray.
00:15:32What it all boils down to is both won another shot at Fit Finley in the world's TV title.
00:15:37Here's what happened last Thursday on Thunder.
00:15:41Now let's bring out the number one contender to the television belt.
00:15:46He is Booker T.
00:15:52Hold on a second here.
00:15:54Not Booker T, Tony.
00:15:56Well, obviously.
00:15:57Let's get something straight right here.
00:15:59You know, I respect you a whole lot, brother.
00:16:02I got the utmost respect for you.
00:16:04All right?
00:16:05But let's get one other thing straight.
00:16:06I'm not scared of you.
00:16:08All right?
00:16:09Now the committee have made their decision on the number one contender here at WCW.
00:16:14And that is me.
00:16:16I can live with it.
00:16:17You know?
00:16:18Me and you, we'd have had our matches over and over and over.
00:16:21You know?
00:16:22And that was settled.
00:16:23Now it's my turn.
00:16:25So let me have my interview time.
00:16:27Please.
00:16:29You're the number one contender.
00:16:31That's right.
00:16:32You're gonna get what you deserve.
00:16:34Exactly.
00:16:35All right, Booker T.
00:16:36Come on, guys.
00:16:41Tony, what up, Tom?
00:16:42Oh!
00:16:43Oh, my goodness.
00:16:44Blindsided him.
00:16:45Come on now.
00:16:48Stevie Ray, Booker T's brother.
00:16:52Together seven times tag team champions.
00:16:55Get up, Booker T.
00:16:56Get up, man.
00:16:57Brother.
00:16:58Man, what's wrong with you, man?
00:16:59Man, you gotta fight this guy.
00:17:01You can't lay down for a punk like that.
00:17:02You forgot where you came from.
00:17:03Hey, brother.
00:17:04We're from the streets of Harlem, 110th Street.
00:17:05A punk like that wouldn't last 10 seconds.
00:17:06You letting him hit you in the back of the head, holding your head like a little baby.
00:17:11When somebody do that when we come from, you'll stop a mudhole in his butt.
00:17:16down for a punk like that, you forgot where you came from?
00:17:23Hey, brother, we're from the streets of Harlem, 110th Street.
00:17:27A punk like that wouldn't last 10 seconds.
00:17:30You letting him hit you in the back of the head,
00:17:32holding your head like a little baby.
00:17:34Would somebody do that when we come from?
00:17:36You'll stop a mud hole in his butt.
00:17:41Now, can you dig it?
00:17:46Brother, show these people what kind of man you are.
00:17:49Go back there and let's get it on.
00:17:51Let's go.
00:17:55Well, they walked away from the interview scene.
00:17:58The dispute continues for the WCW World Television title.
00:18:04Who is the number one contender?
00:18:06And we have a big announcement concerning that
00:18:08as it lends itself to the Great American Bash
00:18:11coming up on June 14th, Mike, today.
00:18:13And Tony, we are going to settle that dispute
00:18:15about who is the number one contender,
00:18:17whether it's going to be Booker T or Chris Benoit.
00:18:20And we are going to start that off this evening here on Nitro
00:18:24because the WCW executive committee has ruled
00:18:27that Benoit and Booker T will fight it out
00:18:30in a best of seven series.
00:18:32First matchup is tonight.
00:18:34The winner of that best of seven series
00:18:36goes on to the Great American Bash
00:18:38to challenge for the World Television Championship.
00:18:40And, of course, the World Television Champion
00:18:42is still this man right here living legend.
00:18:44They have been Finley's tough, tough guy.
00:18:47He's a great man technician,
00:18:49but this guy will brawl at the drop of a hat.
00:18:52He loves to fight.
00:18:54Tough man to beat, Tony.
00:18:55He'll fight you.
00:18:56And if he gets you out of the mat, he can stretch you.
00:18:59I can tell you right now, fans, the best of seven series
00:19:03between the caliber of athlete, of a Booker T,
00:19:06and of a Chris Benoit is spectacular.
00:19:09And match number one, as Mike Tenet said, is tonight,
00:19:12the second of the best of seven will be Wednesday night
00:19:15in Nashville, live on TBS on Thunder.
00:19:18And match three will be WCW Saturday night,
00:19:21our two-hour edition at 6.05 Eastern time this coming Saturday.
00:19:24You know as well as I do that either Booker T or Chris Benoit
00:19:32want to be much like Karl Malone.
00:19:34They want to get it over with in a hurry, don't they?
00:19:36Go for the sweep.
00:19:37Bring out the big broom.
00:19:38Well, it is that time of year with the playoffs,
00:19:40NBA, National Hockey League.
00:19:42Let's not decide it with one match.
00:19:43Let's not allow there to be a fluke.
00:19:45Let's get this thing settled fair and square once and for all, Larry.
00:19:48NBA looked like a bunch of little babies compared to Booker T and Benoit.
00:19:53Fans, later on tonight, you heard us talk about it.
00:19:56It's going to be nothing less than spectacular in itself
00:19:59when the Giant and Sting meet Lex Luger and Sting.
00:20:03That's right.
00:20:04Lex Luger and the man we know as Sting, the real Sting,
00:20:08will face the Giant and I guess the NWO version of Sting.
00:20:12Don't even call him Sting. It's confusing.
00:20:14Let's call him Sting.
00:20:16Sting and Sting, very easy to separate.
00:20:18It's easy for us and I think when you see him in the ring,
00:20:21it'll be quite easy for you fans as well.
00:20:23Snapmare takeover.
00:20:24And here goes Fit Finley brawling like you talked about, Larry.
00:20:27Well, it's brawling, but he's Snapmare'd him over.
00:20:29He's been all over Enos.
00:20:30I mean, Finley's a smooth guy, but he's taking Enos down.
00:20:33See, Enos is good on his feet.
00:20:35Right there, Finley left a little bit of an opening,
00:20:37but he'll come right back at you.
00:20:39Punching Finley, it doesn't bother him.
00:20:41He likes to get hurt.
00:20:43Well, the physical attack of Fit Finley
00:20:45that led him to his first championship gold here in WCW,
00:20:49the basis behind it, even the most elementary of moves,
00:20:52just like that scoop and a body slam,
00:20:54is delivered with incredible intensity.
00:20:56But then he'll smash your fingers,
00:20:58trying to break some of your fingers.
00:21:00Take advantage of every little opening,
00:21:02every old trick Fit Finley knows.
00:21:06And here's one of them right here.
00:21:08Elbow using the apron against Mike Enos.
00:21:12And again, just measures it.
00:21:14Make the ring your friend.
00:21:17How can the ring ever be your friend?
00:21:19Well, you know how to use it.
00:21:20Use the ropes for leverage.
00:21:21Use the apron.
00:21:22Use the corners.
00:21:23It's a...
00:21:24It's better use it.
00:21:25It's great being back in our regular time.
00:21:27It's great having your great fans back with us once again.
00:21:31And we are back solid as ever.
00:21:33Three hours starting tonight,
00:21:35each and every Monday here on TNT.
00:21:37Mike Enos using the quickness,
00:21:39trying to get ahead here.
00:21:40Reversal.
00:21:42Oh, Enos.
00:21:43A great counter move.
00:21:44Well, we thought that Mike Enos
00:21:45would have to turn it up a notch
00:21:46to try one step ahead of Fitly.
00:21:48Going to be tough to beat him in his own power game.
00:21:50But, well, Enos is looking pretty good at this point.
00:21:53Dropped him throat first across the top rope.
00:21:55And a headbutt from Enos.
00:21:56That's exactly what he's doing.
00:21:57The power...
00:21:58Cover!
00:21:59Watch out here.
00:22:00Go ahead.
00:22:01Couldn't hold him down.
00:22:02That's what Enos is doing.
00:22:03Going for the power game.
00:22:04As Fitly with the power,
00:22:05Fitly's going to start to finesse.
00:22:09Pick up.
00:22:10There you go.
00:22:11Exactly.
00:22:12And a headbutt.
00:22:15But Enos absorbed that one.
00:22:17A headbutt of his own.
00:22:18And that rock fit Fitly back.
00:22:20Into the corner they go now.
00:22:21Foot to the face.
00:22:23Fitly.
00:22:25Look at this pickup.
00:22:27Rock rolled through out of the fireman's carry.
00:22:30Head to the midsection.
00:22:31Dual effect.
00:22:32Takes the wind out of him with that headbutt to the stomach.
00:22:35And also drives him down with the concussion of the slam.
00:22:38Uh-oh.
00:22:39Caught him.
00:22:40Mike Enos and the fans are right behind.
00:22:42Enos here.
00:22:43And they'd love to see an upset.
00:22:44Enos the far away slam.
00:22:46And great execution by Enos.
00:22:48Cover one.
00:22:49Two.
00:22:50We got a two only.
00:22:51Hey, Fitly's a tough character.
00:22:52I mean, he knows how to get that shoulders up in the nick of time.
00:22:55Keeps his balance even on his back.
00:22:57And Enos...
00:22:58Whoa!
00:22:59Hurt himself.
00:23:00That was right across his knee.
00:23:02Looked like he was going for some type of a backbreaker across the knee.
00:23:05And it looked like Enos' knee or leg just gave out from underneath him.
00:23:09He turned him over too quick and landed right on his knee.
00:23:12And right there, Fitly.
00:23:13He's not gonna give a sucker an even break.
00:23:15He's gonna increase the aggressiveness.
00:23:17Uh-oh.
00:23:18Uh-oh.
00:23:19It's it.
00:23:20I was gonna say, to this point, it's been an impressive outing for Mike Enos.
00:23:22But here comes that tombstone.
00:23:24All that's left is the cover and that is that Fit Fitly.
00:23:30Still the television champion and Fit Fitly will await now.
00:23:34The winner of the Best of Seven series between Benoit and Booker T.
00:23:38to see who the number one contender will be.
00:23:41The first match of the Best of Seven will be tonight on this program.
00:23:46Go Fit Fit!
00:23:48And as you can hear from Fit Fitly, it doesn't matter who is the number one contender.
00:23:52Take a look at this.
00:23:53Remember, Wyatt Earp once said fast is fine, but accuracy is final.
00:23:58He has moved in fast, but Fit Fitly hit him with a tombstone that even Wyatt Earp would be proud of.
00:24:05Tombstone territory.
00:24:06You're not kidding.
00:24:07Slim Jam replay.
00:24:09Snap into a Slim Jam.
00:24:11The year winner at STL Television Champ is Fit Fitly.
00:24:14Ladies and gentlemen, so much going on.
00:24:17So much to talk about.
00:24:18The summertime is off and running on this Memorial Day 1998.
00:24:22Back with more live on TNT.
00:24:24Right after this.
00:24:25Time out.
00:24:28I guess everybody knows what I would do to the get the hit man at Hollywood.
00:24:33In the squared circle, I'd go to hell itself and make a deal with the devil.
00:24:38Because that's just what I did when I got Roddy Piper, the commissioner, to be my tag team partner.
00:24:44All right.
00:24:46We are wrapping up a fantastic Memorial Day weekend.
00:24:50Happy holiday, America.
00:24:52And attention hotline fans.
00:24:53My very dear close person, long time friend Mike today during his exclusive hotline report is going to talk about the story behind the story.
00:25:04Bret Hart and Hollywood Hogan.
00:25:06That is part of his very comprehensive and exclusive report.
00:25:10You can hear all about it.
00:25:11He's done some snooping.
00:25:12He's got some things that a lot of people don't know about.
00:25:15Give him a call at 1-900-909-9900.
00:25:19That's 1-900-909-9900.
00:25:22About 69 a minute.
00:25:23Kids, get your parents permission.
00:25:25But call the hotline right now.
00:25:27Tony, Larry, Mike, back to you gentlemen.
00:25:29That pause there, Gene, was today blowing his own horn.
00:25:32Mike today on the hotline tonight.
00:25:35And we're going to go with a match that basically has been talked about for the past couple of weeks and certainly talked about in depth by Mike Glacier a few moments ago here, Mike.
00:25:46Well, we heard earlier from Glacier the fact that he claims to have created the cryonic kick.
00:25:53And he has been very jealous as of late because he's noticed that Saturn has been using, well, Larry, you can even attest to this, a very basic move from Kenpo, a standing sidekick.
00:26:04Well, I don't know if I'm going to attest to anything on television, but I mean the monks of Shaolin thousands and thousands of years ago perfected different styles and techniques of kicks.
00:26:15Glacier very disciplined in the martial arts, but so is Saturn.
00:26:19In fact, my little brother won the over 40 Mr. Karate Championships of California using the style of Kenpo.
00:26:27And it's a very deadly, very, very quick fighting style.
00:26:31Glacier is going to have his hands full of Saturn.
00:26:35But I think that this transcends that is the fact that even though both men are very prolific at what they do,
00:26:41and the standing sidekick or the cryonic kick is a lethal weapon for both men, you really can't claim it as your own maneuver.
00:26:49It was used before Glacier.
00:26:51It was used before Saturn.
00:26:53And we're talking about egos here.
00:26:55We got to talk about the control of the egos.
00:26:57You know, I sat in the mountains of Tibet and I watched the tiger kill the elephant with the monks of Shaolin.
00:27:03The discipline is the most important feature of all.
00:27:07Who has more, Saturn or Glacier?
00:27:11When did you sit in the mountains of Tibet?
00:27:131981.
00:27:15Was there a golf course nearby?
00:27:17No, I took a golf immediately after that.
00:27:19Saturn makes his way to the ring.
00:27:23And Saturn, the topic of discussion.
00:27:27I got more of rants by Raven earlier on.
00:27:31Saturn said, hey, I'm not a member of the flock.
00:27:33I am your friend.
00:27:35And Raven was willing to go the entire flock away to get Saturn back under his true leash.
00:27:40Well, it just shows you how important that Raven considers Saturn in the overall pecking order of the flock.
00:27:46The fact that he considers him his number one enforcer, his henchman, always there to cover and guard his back.
00:27:52And even though Saturn has mentioned that he's not a member of the flock, you see Lodi in the background who was put in that even flow moments ago.
00:28:01And members of the flock are here at ringside as always.
00:28:04Was Lodi officially fired or what?
00:28:07Well, I think he was.
00:28:08A leg sweep.
00:28:09What's he still doing out there?
00:28:10Well, you try to get him away.
00:28:12I mean, he's...
00:28:13I'm going to waste my time.
00:28:14He is obnoxious.
00:28:15Just let him go on.
00:28:16Just ignore him is what you got to do.
00:28:17Meanwhile in the ring, you can't ignore what Glacier is doing.
00:28:20Glacier using the techniques that's made him a star, trying to show Saturn up early on here.
00:28:25I tell you, you watch the eyes in Saturn.
00:28:27This guy's focused.
00:28:28Glacier's walking around, almost looking a little cocky.
00:28:31And that's going to be the result.
00:28:32Who's got more control over their self-discipline?
00:28:35Right now, Saturn is much more focused.
00:28:38And how about the nerve of Glacier, claiming that he created the kick.
00:28:41And since he created it, he can destroy it.
00:28:44And he wants to not only beat, but destroy the myth of Saturn.
00:28:47That's what he claims.
00:28:48I mean, Glacier's good, but he has got to be on the money, because Saturn is no slouch.
00:28:56Yeah, there's a flip side of being a great pro wrestler.
00:28:59Not only the moves and the kicks like you're seeing right there, but it's being able to take, absorb the punishment.
00:29:06And to continue to come back.
00:29:07It's called perseverance.
00:29:08Well, that's part of the martial arts, too, in the discipline is you basically block out the pain.
00:29:13You ignore the pain.
00:29:15To you, it doesn't exist.
00:29:17You know, some people have even talked about Glacier being one-dimensional.
00:29:20He's been trying to add pro wrestling moves to complete his offensive arsenal.
00:29:25One thing we know is that Saturn is very well-rounded.
00:29:28He can beat you with submission holds.
00:29:29He can beat you with those martial arts moves from Kempo.
00:29:32And he can beat you with high-risk wrestling moves.
00:29:34A little bit of everything from Saturn.
00:29:36Back elbow.
00:29:39And Glacier.
00:29:41He wasting time, though.
00:29:44He's not fucking.
00:29:46It's not the Glacier it was a year ago.
00:29:48This guy, he's not as disciplined.
00:29:50Saturn's taking advantage of it.
00:29:53Caught in the corner and Saturn just wailing away.
00:29:57Rapid fire series of kicks.
00:29:59First to the midsection, then up to the head.
00:30:01He's got Glacier in trouble in the corner.
00:30:03You know, as they were coming to the ring, we were talking about the plea by Raven.
00:30:07So let's touch on it one more time.
00:30:09I think the fans here are behind Saturn and not Raven.
00:30:13I mean, I think it was very obvious they booed Raven lustily.
00:30:16And now they are cheering Saturn on here.
00:30:20Combination of that and the fact that they just don't buy what Glacier was talking about earlier.
00:30:25How he equaled his fanfare and the hype and he's as good as his entrance and exit.
00:30:30Foot to the face.
00:30:31Oh!
00:30:32He nailed Glacier!
00:30:33There's Raven!
00:30:34Raven has arrived.
00:30:36Now he remembered that not only was he pleading for Saturn to return to the flag, he was-
00:30:45My goodness!
00:30:46Demanding that Saturn come out.
00:30:48He did not.
00:30:49So Raven's going to go to Saturn here.
00:30:51Raven's up!
00:30:52Raven's up!
00:30:53Raven's up!
00:30:54Raven's up!
00:30:55Raven's up!
00:30:56Raven's up!
00:30:57Raven's up!
00:30:58And not to win out of Glacier!
00:31:00Saturn's going up!
00:31:01Oh!
00:31:02Tried a big splash from the top but really took away, took way too much time getting up top.
00:31:09Saturn heard the chance.
00:31:10He heard the chance of Raven and he was, he, he, he took his eyes off him.
00:31:15You saw him looking the other way.
00:31:17Missed the clothesline and both men collide and both men go down hard.
00:31:22Both attempted a flying cross body block.
00:31:25Neither man's successful.
00:31:26Wait a minute!
00:31:27Here's Hammer!
00:31:28He, he, he, he just hammered Raven twice!
00:31:31As we know, Hammer is out of the flock!
00:31:35And there's a little bit of payback!
00:31:38Maybe closer Raven, never more!
00:31:41Look at, he's smiling as he gets up almost as if he liked it!
00:31:45Oh!
00:31:46Browning kick!
00:31:47And he fell over top of Raven!
00:31:50And Hammer hit the back of his head very hard!
00:31:53And a belly driver!
00:31:58One, two!
00:32:00Your winner, Saturn!
00:32:02Saturn down!
00:32:03And now the other flock!
00:32:08The man was already out though, he took a nasty spill over the top!
00:32:14What are you looking at?
00:32:16Look at that!
00:32:18How about the earrings in your eyeballs?
00:32:20And now, now they're, they're face to face!
00:32:25What about me?
00:32:29What about me?
00:32:30What about me?
00:32:31He just turned his back on Raven again!
00:32:33What about me?
00:32:34Face to face!
00:32:35Face to face!
00:32:36Let's go on the road with Starburst!
00:32:37Face to face!
00:32:38Let's go on the road with Starburst!
00:32:40Piper!

00:33:28Nashville, no exception this Wednesday night!
00:33:31The Starburst Fruit Chews Road Report!
00:33:34Need a boost?
00:33:35Give it some juice!
00:33:39Tell you what, it is the main event that's got the whole world buzzing
00:33:42because we will have the Giant and Sting against Luger and Sting!
00:33:47You heard me right!
00:33:48The Giant and Sting against Luger and Sting!
00:33:51The Giant and the man, obviously, the man who portrayed Sting last week on Thunder!
00:33:55The NWO Sting against Lex Luger and Sting!
00:33:59Now, Luger and Sting both gave the Giant a very big message about where they stand
00:34:04as far as WCW and NWO Hollywood is concerned!
00:34:07Well, the Giant laid out the question to Sting!
00:34:10Sting made his decision!
00:34:13Sting's a man!
00:34:14He'll stand by his word!
00:34:16He's a man who will stand by his word!
00:34:18And I tell you, Sting was in the middle of all of this-
00:34:21Now what?
00:34:22I was going to ask a question, but I don't even know what I was going to ask.
00:34:27That's right, I don't like that music.
00:34:28The NWO music, and oh, that's going to bring out NWO Hollywood in the persona of Bryan Adams,
00:34:38Vincent, and the Giant!
00:34:40W-O!
00:34:41Well, we'll get a chance to see what the Giant has to say here about the decision Sting made!
00:34:54Yeah, you know, he was lined by leaps and bounds on Thursday, and obviously you don't see any NWO Sting out here.
00:35:04And he sure has been following in the footsteps of his leader, Hollywood Hogan, by revising history in an effort to promote the NWO's propaganda, that's for sure.
00:35:16Hey, yo!
00:35:24Let me, first of all, let me start off by talking about one person and one person only.
00:35:38You, Kevin Nash.
00:35:46But you guys, just shut up.
00:35:48I'm trying to make a point here.
00:35:50Now, last Monday, you came out with a pipe, and you wanted to say, poor little old Sting.
00:35:56Well, that was all well and good, and that's fine, but I'm telling you right now, you're here tonight, you're a yellow-bellied coward.
00:36:04Wow.
00:36:05And if you leave Conan and the much old man in the back, and you bring your not-need self out here right now, it'll be me and you, and I will kick your butt all over this building right now!
00:36:22Well, that's a challenge for right now to Kevin Nash.
00:36:26You call yourself Big Sexy?
00:36:29I'm the original Big Sexy!
00:36:40Kevin Nash, if you got any heart, if you got any guts, if you're a man at all, I know you're supposed to have a little concussion, but I don't think so.
00:36:48I think you're just flat out scared.
00:36:52So you got any heart?
00:36:53You got any guts?
00:36:54You got any drive?
00:36:55You bring yourself on ahead and get some of the Giants, boy!
00:36:59And the chant of Leewon Nash goes up here at this capacity crowd.
00:37:07I told you, he was a coward, he's not even coming out!
00:37:15Be very careful what you ask for, because here he is!
00:37:27He said to leave Conan and the Macho Man Randy Savage in the back, and apparently that's the case.
00:37:33Kevin Nash is walking solo to the ring.
00:37:36But he's taking his sweet time about it!
00:37:38Hey big boy, you want some of this?
00:37:52Yeah, I want some.
00:37:54Come on in the ring, I want some!
00:37:56Nothing I'd like better tonight than take care of Hogan's three fluff boys.
00:38:08Hey, he's going in!
00:38:12I didn't think Nash was this stupid!
00:38:21Well, I don't think the man is stupid, I think the man is very, very brave.
00:38:26And there's a fine line between being brave and being stupid!
00:38:30He decks out!
00:38:31Here they go!
00:38:32Giant and Nash!
00:38:33Yeah, but there's three against one!
00:38:35That's exactly what they wanted and they got the advantage on Big Sexy!
00:38:41He's playing the game!
00:38:44And here come the reserves!
00:38:48That's Lex Luger!
00:38:49What?
00:38:50That's Lex Luger with a tip!
00:38:52And Luger came out with Conan!
00:38:55What's he doing?
00:39:00Luger hitting!
00:39:03What is Luger doing out there?
00:39:06I don't know!
00:39:08What, with Savage and Conan and Kevin Nash?
00:39:16Oh, Tommy Luger's got an NWO shirt on under that.
00:39:25The fans are standing in disbelief.
00:39:30And I think the Giant is as shocked as anyone.
00:39:35I'm with him.
00:39:36Luger came out, remember, Luger had the offer from.
00:39:40My, he was tossed a Wolfpack shirt.
00:39:46He's considering it.
00:39:53The same thing happened to Sting.
00:39:58Remember the Giant offered him the white and the black and
00:40:02he turned him down, and Luger made sure he turned him down.
00:40:07Look at that, look at that.
00:40:11I don't believe this.
00:40:12I don't believe this.
00:40:15Lex Luger has become a member of the Wolfpack.
00:40:18Apparently, he's NWO.
00:40:28He's got a team with Sting.
00:40:31Tony, that's the first question that comes to your mind.
00:40:34What does Sting think about this?
00:40:36Tonight, Luger and Sting to team against the Giant and the NWO Hollywood Sting.
00:40:43Sting turns him down.
00:40:46Luger did not.
00:40:48I have no response for this.
00:40:53I don't know what to say.
00:40:55Get your jaw off the floor like the rest of it.
00:40:58What a shocker in Evansville.
00:41:00Going right where we are, we have no idea what's going to happen next.
00:41:03It's all over, Piper, if you want a piece of the mind at this, that works for me.
00:41:14Because last Monday night, your apology that you didn't give me for the mistake that you made
00:41:21was very, very weak.
00:41:24And if you're not man enough to apologize to the Macho Man,
00:41:29you're not man enough to beat it out of you.
00:41:34Well, it seems like Memorial Day has a tradition here on Nitro for bombshell.
00:41:40Two years ago, the insurgents of Hall, remember that?
00:41:44And then Nash, and then the NWO was born.
00:41:47Two years later, the total package.
00:41:50Lex Luger takes the step across the line and becomes a member of NWO Wolfpack.
00:41:57And what a first hour it was, and we're not done yet.
00:42:01Our number two is upon us, and we still have to come tonight.
00:42:06Lex Luger of NWO Wolfpack.
00:42:09Don't say that.
00:42:10I gotta say that, and Sting of WCW together against the Giant and the NWO slash Hollywood Sting tonight.
00:42:20That just doesn't sound right, Lex Luger of Wolfpack.
00:42:23That's sacrilegious.
00:42:24In addition, Rowdy Roddy Piper, we understand, is here.
00:42:28United States Heavyweight champ, Goldberg, is here.
00:42:30Plus, Chris Benoit, Booker T, in the first of the best of seven, as let's go to the match.
00:42:40Well, here he is, the collector of trophies.
00:42:48Doesn't have many of them left, including his most prized possession,
00:42:52which was the WCW World's Cruiserweight title.
00:42:55He lost that to Dean Malenko at Slamboree, and is claiming himself, as you can see by the sign,
00:43:01very evidently, a conspiracy victim.
00:43:05Remember last week when he called out J.J. Dillon?
00:43:08Yeah.
00:43:09He said that he was gonna hound and follow Dillon until Jericho is reinstated as Cruiserweight champion.
00:43:15We need to talk about that, but to be honest with you, I cannot think of anything else but what we have just seen.
00:43:21Fans, if you just missed what happened, if you just missed what happened with the total package, Lex Luger.
00:43:27As Jericho hammers El Dany, we're gonna show you, at the conclusion of this match,
00:43:36Lex Luger becoming a part of NWO Wolfpack.
00:43:40It is literally unbelievable.
00:43:42My jaw is still on the ground, I don't believe that.
00:43:46What do you think Sting is thinking right about now, if you don't believe it?
00:43:50He's got a much bigger problem than I do.
00:43:55Face first, over the top, El Dandy.
00:44:00There has to be, and oh, El Dandy almost won that match.
00:44:04There has to be, as we speak right now, some sort of a meeting going on with Sting and Luger in the back.
00:44:10What do you think?
00:44:11What if Luger doesn't talk?
00:44:12What if Sting's afraid to go to Luger?
00:44:14I mean, boy.
00:44:17Whoa.
00:44:19Trying to turn him over for the Lion Tamer.
00:44:23And he's got El Dandy down.
00:44:25Charles Robinson checking, look how the knee is up against the side of the head, bending the neck back.
00:44:30It's just a question of time.
00:44:32And there you see it, Dandy finally makes eye contact with the official.
00:44:36I don't think he can even tap out from that position that Jericho had him up in the Lion Tamer.
00:44:42Conspiracy victim, well, maybe so, and so what?
00:44:46He does have a pretty decent point, Tony.
00:44:48Dean Malenko's name was not on that list of cruiserweight contenders in the battle.
00:44:52All right, all right.
00:44:53I'd like to dedicate that victory to all you Jericho-holics who are crestfallen, that I've been victimized by this diabolical conspiracy that has left me without my prized possession.
00:45:10The cruiserweight belt.
00:45:15And what I'd like to do right now is bring out JJ Dillon, the president of WCW, to listen to what I have to say.
00:45:26So Dillon, if you're back there at the training table, put down the hot dog and the piece of pizza.
00:45:33Get off your butt and waddle on out here and listen to what I have to say, pal.
00:45:38You octogenarian, tubby, fat, white-haired, moronic, imbecilic, pretentious goof, get out here into the ring right now and listen to what I have to say, you son of a...
00:46:00Mr. Dillon, is this thing working?
00:46:04This thing doesn't even work.
00:46:05You're looking beautiful today.
00:46:06Your suit is immaculate.
00:46:07Did you get a haircut?
00:46:09You're looking good.
00:46:12You're looking JoJo.
00:46:13Now, JJ, what I'd like to tell you is there's been a little bit of a misunderstanding.
00:46:19I've been stripped of my cruiserweight belt because of a technicality.
00:46:23It's totally something irrelevant.
00:46:25I have a list right here of the 15 participants in the cruiserweight battle royal.
00:46:30But on that list, I see no Dean Malenko.
00:46:33There's no Dean Malenko.
00:46:35Show me Dean Malenko.
00:46:36Ain't none there.
00:46:37So what I'm saying to you is how could I have lost a belt to a man who wasn't even supposed to be in the battle royal to begin with?
00:46:44So being a man of infinite wisdom, being a man of immaculate judgment, I know you're gonna do the right thing.
00:46:50You're gonna give the people what they want and you're gonna reinstate me.
00:46:54As the cruiserweight champion of WCW.
00:47:00I don't think so.
00:47:01Yeah, unlike today, I don't think he has a point.
00:47:07If memory serves me correct, you were informed because you had defeated all challengers,
00:47:13that at Slamboree we were gonna take the 15 top cruiserweights, have a battle royal, and you were gonna face the winner that night.
00:47:20Now by the very nature of that type of match, it's impossible for you to exercise your right to clear your opponent.
00:47:27And if I remember correctly, you were gloating something about the winner surviving a beating by 14 others and having to wrestle twice that same night, and you relished that advantage.
00:47:39I think that's how I remember it.
00:47:41That was misconstrued, JJ.
00:47:42I have the right of refusal as a champion to oversee all the opponents, and I never said that I could face Dean Malenko.
00:47:48I was never prepared for it.
00:47:49I was at a psychological disadvantage, JJ.
00:47:51You gotta believe me.
00:47:52You don't have to raise your voice to me.
00:47:56Until you can show me some precedent for overruling this type of a match, the decision stands and Malenko is the champion.
00:48:07Come on, JJ!
00:48:13You pompous, pathetic old idiot!
00:48:16This is a conspiracy against me!
00:48:18And you're the perpetrator of it!
00:48:20You pretentious idiot!
00:48:22I want, wait, Mr. Dillon, I want my belt.
00:48:26Mr. Dillon, wait!
00:48:27Wait, Mr. Dillon, please!
00:48:28Cut the mic, get a hook.
00:48:29Here we go, he snapped again.
00:48:30Please, JJ!
00:48:31Fans, we need to go back and relive one of the most shocking moments in recent memory on Nitro.
00:48:38You can't believe it.
00:48:40Moments ago, this happened.
00:48:41Lex Ugar came running out.
00:48:43Now, we were all shocked, and the NWO Wolfpack shocked as well.
00:48:47But then, when he put the shirt on, a thunderous roar.
00:48:51The reaction from Kevin Nash, the Macho Man.
00:48:56And, of course, from Curt Hennig.
00:49:00The shirt was handed to Lex Ugar.
00:49:02Here it is once again.
00:49:03Listen to the response.
00:49:07This is a historic moment in our sport.
00:49:11Very sad historic moment.
00:49:16You know, he thought about it for quite a while.
00:49:22And then Lex Ugar put the shirt on.
00:49:25There's a new member of the Wolfpack.
00:49:29It is the total package, Lex Ugar.
00:49:34And we'll have more on Nitro.
00:49:41My.
00:49:42Stay with us.
00:49:46This portion of Nitro brought to you by Burger King.
00:49:49If you ask us, it just tastes better.
00:49:52Back with more live on TNT.

00:49:58In the midst of these shocking developments about Lex Ugar joining NWO Wolfpack,
00:50:02we will let you know that the rumors are true.
00:50:04We made the big announcement Thursday on Thunder.

00:50:43outlets.
00:50:44Plus the Giant and the Nitro girls will be at the Coliseum box office when tickets go on sale
00:50:4810 a.m. this Friday.
00:50:50Friday.
00:50:51One other announcement to make about Thunder coming to Birmingham.
00:50:54The Birmingham Jefferson Civic Center Coliseum on Thursday, July 9th.
00:50:59Tickets go on sale this Friday, May 29th at the box office and all TicketLink outlets.
00:51:03Plus Jimmy Hart at the Coliseum box office with tickets go on sale Friday morning 9 a.m.
00:51:09for Thunder coming to Birmingham.
00:51:11What is La Parga doing at Sneh?
00:51:14Well, he's the chairman of WCW.
00:51:16Great.
00:51:17Good, good, very good.
00:51:18But right now he's going against a member of NWO Wolfpack and right now you got to say
00:51:23the hottest topic in our sport is NWO Wolfpack right now.
00:51:26Seeing that Lex Luger has now stepped across the line, stepped over on their side, the total
00:51:32package Lex Luger.
00:51:33And we can only wonder what's going to happen when Luger and Sting will team together later
00:51:37on in this program.
00:51:38I don't believe I saw Luger putting on an NWO shirt.
00:51:43I still can't believe I saw that.
00:51:46But what about the tag team match tonight?
00:51:48Are they going to be able to put aside those differences?
00:51:50I don't know.
00:51:51Are they going to be able to work as a team, Larry?
00:51:52Sting has got to be just as shocked as anybody.
00:51:56One, two, I can't be any more shocked than I am.
00:52:01I absolutely don't believe this.
00:52:07But nevertheless, it is a reality.
00:52:10And if you just tuned in and maybe you got a call from your friend or something,
00:52:14said, hey, did you watch Nitro and you see what Luger did?
00:52:17You may not believe it, but it is true.
00:52:19Luger donned the black and the red moments ago.
00:52:22You know, we talked about the strength of the sides of the NWO and it was pretty apparent.
00:52:30He nailed it.
00:52:33Not only does Sting have to be dumbfounded, but what about Team Hollywood?
00:52:39Team Hollywood has got to be just as much as shock as Sting is.
00:52:42When the Giant stepped across the line and became a part of NWO Hollywood,
00:52:47I said, well, they have to balance the power now, but I don't think you can say that anymore.
00:52:51But you know what we're seeing here?
00:52:52It's a NWO recruiting war right before our very eyes.
00:52:57One side adds someone like the Giant.
00:52:59What a way to answer as the Wolf Pack adds Lex Luger.
00:53:05And then you can only wonder who's next and who's been approached and who's going to make what decision.
00:53:10It's incredible.
00:53:13Double axe handle from the top.
00:53:15Leparka down on Kildan.
00:53:19Wow.
00:53:20Yeah, Leparka took a big risk right there.
00:53:22I think he hurt himself more than he did Conan.
00:53:31Conan back in.
00:53:36Scoop slam on Leparka and down goes Conan.
00:53:39And it looks like Leparka headed to the top high-risk move on the way.
00:53:46Oh, man!
00:53:47Conan was ready.
00:53:49Had the feet up.
00:53:54The ropes into the near side.
00:53:58Look at that kick by Conan!
00:54:00And he sends him hit first.
00:54:02Conan Leparka and no strangers at all, Mike.
00:54:05We certainly are, Tony.
00:54:06We're talking about two of the original luchadors to arrive on the scene here in WCW.
00:54:11Goes back now a couple of years.
00:54:12And, of course, Conan, I think arguably the most successful of that group, has him set up and spikes him with a cradle DDT.
00:54:24And, of Conan vicious man, great man technician.
00:54:27You see an example of it right here.
00:54:29He's got Leparka all tied up.
00:54:31TK La Sunrise applied.
00:54:34Referee Nick Patrick checks with Leparka.
00:54:37He taps out.
00:54:38He submits.
00:54:39And Conan scores the submission win.
00:54:42Well, as we think back to what's going through Sting's mind and we're concerned about Sting, you have to realize the same situation that Sting has been faced with over the last few weeks.
00:55:03Dean is back to the corner with an NWO member on the other side.
00:55:07Well, and right there, Leparka gave it his best shot.
00:55:09Came off mile high, but I think he hurt himself more.
00:55:12And right there, Conan waiting for him, setting him up.
00:55:15Caught him right in the choppers again.
00:55:17Conan, great master on the mat.
00:55:19And he had Leparka in plenty of pain, brother.
00:55:24Your winner with the Tequila Sunrise is Conan.
00:55:29As Nick Patrick raised his hand.
00:55:31Well, fans still to come tonight.
00:55:33Sting with his back up against the wall.
00:55:35Back in the corner once again.
00:55:36Will now team with a member of NWO Wolfpack.
00:55:39His best friend, Lex Luger.
00:55:42And Sting together against the Giants and the NWO Sting as well.
00:55:47Well, it's time for us to talk about a home video that we received from a man named Mortis.
00:55:53And we're going to be pitching that here in a moment, but it's very difficult to concentrate on anything else.
00:55:58When we are literally surrounded by the most gorgeous ladies in cable television.
00:56:03The gorgeous Nitro Girls.
00:56:05Put your mind to it. Focus.
00:56:07This is what you have to do when you're in the ring.
00:56:09You've got to learn how to focus, Tony.
00:56:11No matter what's going on around you.
00:56:14That's right, Tony. Don't lose that level of concentration.
00:56:17Walk out.
00:56:18Very important.
00:56:19Although you have to admit it's the best perk of the job.
00:56:21What do you mean, what?
00:56:22It sure is.
00:56:23How are you there, AC Jazz?
00:56:24Right behind me.
00:56:25The Nitro Girls are red hot.
00:56:28And so is WCW Monday Nitro.
00:56:30And ladies, you're welcome here at any time.
00:56:33Well, you can stay here the whole broadcast if you'd like.
00:56:35Hurry back.
00:56:36Okay, we did receive, WCW offices received this home video from Mortis.
00:56:41The man who we found out at Slamboree had been attacking Raven all along.
00:56:46Let's take a special look at this video from Mortis and you can see that this is a man that just will not quit.
00:56:53February 12th.
00:56:58Oklahoma City.
00:57:00Raven, you even flowed me on the metal rampway and you put me out.
00:57:05They took me to the emergency room.
00:57:08And that night, Mortis died.
00:57:12But I survived.
00:57:14May 17th.
00:57:17Slamboree.
00:57:18Raven, I hit you with the chair shot heard round the world.
00:57:22That's the night.
00:57:24Canyon.
00:57:25The man behind the mask was reborn.
00:57:29It's not over, Raven.
00:57:32I've already gotten to you in the flock.
00:57:34As a fan.
00:57:35As an usher.
00:57:37As a vendor.
00:57:38And as a cop.
00:57:40And I'm gonna get to you again and again and again.
00:57:45And you'll never see me coming.
00:57:48Just remember, Raven.
00:57:50I can get to you anytime, anywhere, as anyone.
00:58:02Haunting words from a man he calls himself now Canyon.
00:58:06Who is after one man by the name of a raven.
00:58:09Raven.
00:58:10I don't care what they say.
00:58:11Men should be allowed to have a harem.
00:58:13Stop it.
00:58:14We'll be back.
00:58:18You call yourself an icon.
00:58:21I don't even know what that word means.
00:58:24Is that a bird?
00:58:26It's a dodo bird.
00:58:28A species that doesn't exist anymore.
00:58:33Well, I don't know what an icon is.
00:58:36But I know what the madness is.
00:58:38And if you got guts enough to be my tag team partner.
00:58:41We can get it done.
00:58:42And whatever's whatever after that.
00:58:45Oh, yeah.
00:58:46All right, we're back here in Evansville, Indiana.
00:58:52What a Monday night.
00:58:53Wrapping up a holiday weekend.
00:58:54Please join me as I welcome none other than the icon.
00:58:59The icon.
00:59:00The icon.
00:59:01In professional wrestling.
00:59:03Sometimes commissator.
00:59:05Rowdy.
00:59:06Rowdy.
00:59:07Piper.
00:59:12You can better believe based on what's gone down here with Lex Luger tonight.
00:59:16Joining NWO Wolfpack.
00:59:18Piper's got a lot on his mind.
00:59:20But he cannot look past the net that was made by Hollywood Hogan last week.
00:59:25Hogan.
00:59:26Hogan.
00:59:27Fred Hart.
00:59:28In the main event for the Great American Bash.
00:59:30Against the macho man Randy Savage.
00:59:33And that man right there.
00:59:35Rowdy Rowdy Piper.
00:59:36Yeah, how about that?
00:59:38Piper is going to join a Wolfpack member in the main event at the Great American Bash.
00:59:44Oh, Wolfpack is hot.
00:59:45The same Wolfpack that Lex Luger just joined.
00:59:52Rowdy Rowdy Piper.
00:59:54In less than three weeks time, you're going to be teaming with the Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:59:59To meet Hollywood Hogan and Bret Hart.
01:00:02Bret the Hitman Hart.
01:00:04However, in light of some of the things that have been said over the last couple of weeks by one Macho Man Randy Savage.
01:00:11I've got some serious doubts as to whether or not you can act as a cohesive unit.
01:00:16As a matter of fact, the Macho Man and yourself are like oil and water.
01:00:20How can you expect at the Great American Bash?
01:00:23The only thing you've got in common really is Hogan and Hart.
01:00:26And I think in my opinion, that's it.
01:00:29I'm dribbling through more bull here than the Indiana Pacers.
01:00:34I have heard what Savage has got to say.
01:00:41And I, that Muppet, I don't get it.
01:00:48Savage, you're talking about, I hate Hogan more than you do.
01:00:53I hate Hart more.
01:00:54I hate you.
01:00:55You hate me.
01:00:56We hate them.
01:00:57Everybody hates everybody.
01:00:59I'll tell you something, you village people throwback.
01:01:03I'll tell you something.
01:01:05You have a serious problem.
01:01:08And I gotta be your tag team partner.
01:01:11One thing good about having Savage as a tag team partner, standing next to him, you never have a bad hair day.
01:01:17Never.
01:01:18And with that voice, with that voice that Savage has got going, with the growling, I can fix that.
01:01:27A little colon cleanser.
01:01:29Flush all that stuff right on out of there, Savage.
01:01:32With the Macho Macho Man.
01:01:34I got six kids.
01:01:36I don't need to call myself Macho Man.
01:01:38I'll tell you something else, Savage.
01:01:40If you think at the pay-per-view, I'm gonna get in that ring and start singing,
01:01:46Y-M-C-A, you're out of your ever-loving mind.
01:01:49Do you trust him, Roddy Piper?
01:01:52That, I think, is the question.
01:01:54Do you trust him?
01:01:57Do I trust him?
01:01:59Do you trust Savage?
01:02:00Look at this.
01:02:01Would you?
01:02:02Look at this.
01:02:03Whoa, not here.
01:02:07Let me say it to your face.
01:02:10What is your major malfunction?
01:02:13Huh?
01:02:14Huh?
01:02:15I heard you talking about crying.
01:02:21Not here.
01:02:22I heard you talking about me crying.
01:02:24I heard you call my killed a skirt.
01:02:27No.
01:02:28You don't need a miracle here, cause that's just what I said, Mr. Commissioner.
01:02:34Whatever it takes, do you understand?
01:02:36Yeah.
01:02:37I understand everything but you.
01:02:41I don't understand where you're coming from, and I think you're seriously mentally disabled.
01:02:47I seem to remember me versus the hit man, and you made a terrible mistake, and you wouldn't even apologize to me, which I wouldn't accept it anyway.
01:02:58And now we're gonna be tag team partners, brother, and I hate those guys, and if you don't, and if you're getting a little nervous or a little wheezy, why don't you just get out and run?
01:03:10You would.
01:03:11What did you want me?
01:03:12I reversed the decision the next day.
01:03:14What did you want me to do?
01:03:15Give you a gift from RuPaul?
01:03:17Is that what's gonna make you happy?
01:03:19Huh?
01:03:20Wait a minute.
01:03:21Not here.
01:03:22I reversed the decision.
01:03:23Stayed in, Randy.
01:03:24Give him the credit, Eastern.
01:03:25That's really, really, really, really funny, but this isn't a funny situation.
01:03:29Oh, no, that's not funny.
01:03:30No, it's not at all funny.
01:03:31You understand that?
01:03:32No.
01:03:33You want a piece of me, don't you?
01:03:34No, I'm telling you something right now.
01:03:36Here's the deal.
01:03:37If you're gonna be my tag team partner, brother, in the tag team match from hell, that's cool.
01:03:43Okay.
01:03:44Okay, wait a second.
01:03:46Then let's make an agreement.
01:03:48You said honor amongst thieves, then let's be a tag team.
01:03:53You finally have something to your senses, gentlemen.
01:03:57That's fine.
01:03:58Cooler heads have prevailed.
01:03:59Thank goodness.
01:04:00Buongiorno, boys.
01:04:01Whoa.
01:04:02Whoa.
01:04:03I don't believe an invitation has been extended.
01:04:05You know, Randy Savage, you are pathetic.
01:04:10You know, Roddy, come on.
01:04:12Roddy, why don't you come clean and tell him what happened?
01:04:15You know, this whole thing has just turned out too much for me.
01:04:21I can't believe that you've been so gullible.
01:04:23I mean, Roddy, when you came to me the day before and you said, he's gonna fall for this thing hook, line, and sinker.
01:04:29What's he talking about?
01:04:30I never believed you.
01:04:31I had my doubts.
01:04:32But I look at you now, and you are mad.
01:04:36You're totally nuts because you fell for the whole thing.
01:04:39And you know what even best, the best part about it is what he said.
01:04:43Roddy, how did you say?
01:04:44You said, when I reverse the decision on Monday, it won't even matter at all.
01:04:49And you know, I was skeptical of that.
01:04:51Doing business.
01:04:52But the fact is, you were right.
01:04:54Nobody cared.
01:04:55Everybody saw me win.
01:04:57And that's the most important thing.
01:04:59Randy Savage, I think that Roddy should just level with you and tell you the whole scoop.
01:05:05We were just having a little fun.
01:05:08And Roddy, I know the respect you have for me and my family.
01:05:11And by the way, my mother says to say hi.
01:05:13Oh, please.
01:05:14And I appreciate all the good things you've done for me.
01:05:19I appreciate the good turns that you did for me and the slamboree.
01:05:23Is any of this true?
01:05:24When?
01:05:25And when you need a favor from me, you come back and check.
01:05:27I owe you one.
01:05:28I didn't do no favors for anybody.
01:05:30Whoa.
01:05:31Let's fight and do it, man.
01:05:33No, no, no.
01:05:34No.
01:05:35Forget about it.
01:05:38Hang on.
01:05:39I didn't do no favors for anybody.
01:05:41You're gonna believe him?
01:05:42He's the one that said there's a new sheriff on town.
01:05:45He's the one that lied.
01:05:47You're gonna believe him, you goofball.
01:05:53All right.
01:05:54Let's fight.
01:05:55Oh, my.
01:05:56Hey, Piper will go.
01:05:57Savage can't believe Bret Hart.
01:05:59All right.
01:06:00Listen to me.
01:06:01I'm gonna be your psychiatrist now.
01:06:04We.
01:06:08400 bucks an hour.
01:06:11We have to be a tag team.
01:06:14Listen to me.
01:06:15He's lying through his teeth, macho.
01:06:18I know you're tough.
01:06:20I know you can handle it.
01:06:22Let's make a deal.
01:06:24We be a team at the end of the pay-per-view.
01:06:28If you still want a piece of me, you got it.
01:06:31How about that?
01:06:33Sounds fair.
01:06:34You're not kidding.
01:06:35You're just.
01:06:40Hang on.
01:06:41No more chairs.
01:06:42No more chairs.
01:06:43Listen.
01:06:44Hart.
01:06:45Hogan.
01:06:46Two H's.
01:06:47You know what?
01:06:48There's two H's and hemorrhoids too.
01:06:50But they're not as annoying.
01:06:52Let's get the job done.
01:06:54And get the job done right.
01:06:56As two pros.
01:06:57And then if we get the job done.
01:06:59And you want to try me on.
01:07:02Give it a shot.
01:07:07I want to do that.
01:07:08That's the way I want to do it brother.
01:07:09Take care of them.
01:07:10And then I'll take care of you bro.
01:07:12Understand that.
01:07:14You know I really think they were playing on.
01:07:17The paranoia that runs rampant in the mind.
01:07:20Of the Macho Man Randy Savage.
01:07:22They being Bret Hart.
01:07:23And obviously August.
01:07:24Well you have to admit.
01:07:25Bret Hart is one smart cookie.
01:07:27Playing mind games.
01:07:29With Savage and Piper.
01:07:30And planting that seed of distrust.
01:07:33Just developing the friction a little bit more.
01:07:36As we go into June 14th.
01:07:38At the bash.
