00:00:00Today, still to come, Hollywood Hogan with the Hitman Hart against
00:00:03Sting and Lex Luger and more, live on Nitro.
00:00:06I always talk to Lex.
00:00:07I want to remind you,
00:00:11Thursday, September 10th, Thunder on TBS will originate live from the Ruff Arena,
00:00:16Lexington, Kentucky.
00:00:17Tickets available at the Ruff Arena box office and Ticketmaster locations.
00:00:21Thursday, September 24th, Thunder on TBS will originate from the Norfolk Scope in
00:00:26Norfolk, Virginia.
00:00:27And tickets available at the Scope box office and all Ticketmaster locations for
00:00:30Thunder.
00:00:31For our fans in the Las Vegas area, Sunday, October 25th will be Halloween Havoc of course.
00:00:38Tickets available right now at the MGM Grand Garden Arena box office and all Ticketmaster locations.
00:00:44Would you look at this display?
00:00:48Well, it was last Wednesday on Thunder when Saturn agreed to a matchup with Lodi.
00:00:53If he lost the bout, he had to become Lodi's public servant until fall brawl.
00:00:58And it was outside interference from Canyon, outside interference from other members of the
00:01:03flock.
00:01:03Yes, Lodi scored the victory.
00:01:05The one thing we can say is Saturn is obviously a man of his word to follow through on these
00:01:11stipulations that were put forth by Lodi.
00:01:13Do you ever think you'd see Saturn carrying a sign, one of Lodi's signs?
00:01:17He doesn't look too happy with it.
00:01:19I was carrying his bags into the building earlier today.
00:01:22I can tell you he's not thrilled with the situation.
00:01:25I never thought I would see anyone but Lodi carry a sign because no one but Lodi wants to
00:01:30carry a sign.
00:01:31Lodi tells Saturn that tonight he is not to put his hands on either Lodi or Canyon.
00:01:40Hey Saturn, tonight you can't touch Raven and you can't touch Canyon.
00:01:51Notice how Lodi took the ball by the horse.
00:01:52Canyon, break them.
00:01:55What?
00:01:55So you've got pride and integrity and Raven and I don't.
00:02:13That sums it up.
00:02:14Pride and integrity.
00:02:18Pride and integrity.
00:02:20Where did you own your pride and integrity?
00:02:27For your military training?
00:02:29For your army training, sir?
00:02:33Come on.
00:02:34Canyon's calling you out, pal.
00:02:36Hit me.
00:02:37Come on, son.
00:02:39Come on, son.
00:02:41Hit me.
00:02:41Come on.
00:02:43I want you to hit me.
00:02:45All these people want to hit me.
00:02:47Hit me.
00:02:50And deep down in places you don't like to talk about in parties.
00:02:55You want to hit me.
00:02:57So come on.
00:02:58Hit me, Saturn.
00:02:59Hit me.
00:03:00Hit me.
00:03:02Hit me.
00:03:04Hit me.
00:03:05Come on.
00:03:06Look at the clenched fist.
00:03:08You won't do it, will you, Saturn?
00:03:10You've got too much pride.
00:03:13Too much integrity.
00:03:15We'll see how much integrity you have with Lodi as your tag team partner.
00:03:21A man can only take so much.
00:03:24Going to make Lodi be his tag team partner?
00:03:25Well, he's a man of his word.
00:03:27That's one thing you have to admit about Saturn.
00:03:29Lodi laid down the law.
00:03:30You could not touch Raven or Canyon.
00:03:32And you could see the clenched fist on the part of Saturn.
00:03:36He just wanted to take a shot at Canyon so badly.
00:03:38And to be honest with you, I don't think there's anything wrong with integrity.
00:03:45I think integrity needs to be the top of your list.
00:03:47Top of mind.
00:03:52That's it?
00:03:52You're not gonna question that, Tony?
00:03:54Hello?
00:03:54There's only one thing on the list.
00:03:55Let me repeat that again.
00:03:57Integrity needs to be on the top of your list, Frank.
00:03:59Yes, it is on the top of my list.
00:04:02You know what integrity means?
00:04:04Yes.
00:04:04One of those Japanese cards.
00:04:07You want some?
00:04:09Sorry about that, fans.
00:04:10High voltage, young powerful duo will come out.
00:04:13Should be a very interesting matchup to say the least.
00:04:16Against Saturn and Lodi with Raven and Canyon out.
00:04:20And you know, we've been talking so much about the agreement.
00:04:22Oh, that's infinity.
00:04:23I'm sorry.
00:04:26Do you mind?
00:04:26Can I finish here?
00:04:27Go ahead.
00:04:28You're the boss.
00:04:30You're in charge.
00:04:32I'm gonna talk now, so don't say anything.
00:04:35Saturn and Lodi with Raven and Canyon.
00:04:38Canyon's recent, I guess, meld to the dark side has been very bizarre as well.
00:04:44Just amazed that he's aligned himself with Raven after everything that they've been through.
00:04:51I'd like to sit in on a meeting sometime and just hear what Raven says to these people,
00:04:56how he controls their minds, what he must tell them, what he must promise them, how he's turned
00:05:00them against society.
00:05:02Wouldn't you love to hear that?
00:05:03Yeah, just an absolute brainwashing.
00:05:04I'd love to hear that.
00:05:05And you can do it with a thimble.
00:05:06Cian, you two are stooges.
00:05:08You want to hear what everybody says.
00:05:10Don't you?
00:05:10Nope.
00:05:12Here we go.
00:05:12Let's get the tape recorder here.
00:05:13Stop.
00:05:16See, you want to know.
00:05:17Pushing down, Lodi now, back to the corner.
00:05:19Lodi, amazingly enough, is gonna start James and look at Saturn.
00:05:25Applaud the efforts of Lodi.
00:05:27Come on, do something.
00:05:29Come on, get up.
00:05:30Runs right into that big guy.
00:05:33And I mean, Rage is one of the toughest.
00:05:36Tag me.
00:05:37Ran right into that brick wall of Rage.
00:05:40Come on.
00:05:41Get him.
00:05:44All right, tag made.
00:05:47And now here is Saturn.
00:05:50Very unlikely, unusual team here.
00:05:52But it's been a very unusual night in many ways.
00:05:55It's Nitro.
00:05:56That's what it is.
00:05:57And you never know what to expect.
00:05:59Or you never know when the one warrior nation will appear.
00:06:06Look at Ray.
00:06:07Look how he's built.
00:06:07I mean, the guy, truly, one of the strongest,
00:06:10most powerful men, young men in our sport.
00:06:13Well, we've really been impressed as of late
00:06:15with both members of High Voltage, Rage and Chaos.
00:06:18Spent some time over in the Orient
00:06:20wrestling for New Japan Pro Wrestling.
00:06:22Really came back to the States and WCW on purpose.
00:06:25Gorilla Press Slam by Rage.
00:06:28And he just tossed Saturn away.
00:06:32All right.
00:06:33Here we go.
00:06:35Maybe he's had enough.
00:06:37Boy, he came out with some determination.
00:06:39Looking right into the camera.
00:06:40Said, all right.
00:06:42Daring the man to hit the right.
00:06:44How about that?
00:06:45How about that, Lariat?
00:06:48That's inexperience right there versus a lot of experience.
00:06:53And Lodi begging for a tag now.
00:06:54Now he tags the man in the rubber pants.
00:06:58Who slinks away as Chaos comes in.
00:07:00Oh, what a coward this guy is.
00:07:02It's a good move, though.
00:07:03Well, as soon as he came in and the fresh man Chaos hit the ring,
00:07:06he turned and ran to the corner.
00:07:08You're arguing with the brain about being a coward.
00:07:10It's a good move for Lodi.
00:07:11That's what I'm talking about.
00:07:16Big pick up that time by Chaos.
00:07:20And through all of this, through the adversity that Saturn has had to endure,
00:07:24not only here, but all day.
00:07:27High voltage stepping up to the plate.
00:07:29At least they were momentarily.
00:07:31And now you're Saturn again.
00:07:37The Saturn gets tougher every week.
00:07:40He's really impressive.
00:07:43He'll fight anybody.
00:07:44A man of integrity.
00:07:48Very interesting to hear him talk about his past, Mike Denae.
00:07:52His years in the Army with the Rangers, over 100 jumps.
00:07:56Picked up by Rage.
00:07:59How about that?
00:08:05And a cover.
00:08:07Not a good cover that time, but a great move to get him down to the mat.
00:08:11And to the ropes.
00:08:15Drop toe hold.
00:08:16Great execution.
00:08:17Good double D work.
00:08:18And a guillotine leg drop outside in.
00:08:20They're showing me a lot, this team.
00:08:21They've improved a lot in the last couple of months.
00:08:23Yes, they have.
00:08:23One, two.
00:08:24Got a two cap.
00:08:25They need a good manager.
00:08:28Here we go.
00:08:29Now we're talking about integrity and honorable.
00:08:31Remember that.
00:08:32Yeah, maybe you're right.
00:08:35Doesn't take a weasel long, does it?
00:08:36It wasn't.
00:08:37Oh, look at this.
00:08:38Fall away slam.
00:08:39Oh.
00:08:40He runs right in.
00:08:41Fall away Saturn.
00:08:43Runs right in to Chaos.
00:08:46Oh, you basically guys, let's call it as we see it.
00:08:49It's a kind of like a handicap match here.
00:08:51It's a one on two.
00:08:52That's exactly what it's been.
00:08:53Lodi was in for about the first 15 seconds.
00:08:56And since then has just turned tail, ran to the corner.
00:09:01What will be in store for later on tonight is Bret Hart and Hollywood Hogan.
00:09:06First time ever together.
00:09:08Two of the biggest superstars ever in our sport will face two more.
00:09:13And Lex Luger and Sting as factions of the NWO go at it.
00:09:18The fans are unloading here.
00:09:19How many world championships are in that ring tonight, the main event.
00:09:24How many times all four of those men have held a world championship?
00:09:26And we're looking at what may be a preview of the war games.
00:09:32Lex Luger called it a tune-up earlier tonight.
00:09:35I think it's going to be more than that with the two NWO factions back.
00:09:38Oh, he missed.
00:09:39Look at the raw power pickup in a Death Valley drive.
00:09:48Now look at Lodi.
00:09:49All of a sudden, he wants the tag.
00:09:50He wants the win.
00:09:51Let me in.
00:09:52Let me cover the man.
00:09:52You can't do the worst.
00:09:54He's got to do it.
00:09:55He has to make the tag.
00:09:56That's exactly right.
00:09:56That's the agreement.
00:09:57One, two, and Lodi's in for the win.
00:09:59Your winner, Lodi.
00:10:01What?
00:10:03He did nothing the entire match.
00:10:05Saturn won that match.
00:10:07Who got the pinfall?
00:10:08Okay, but Saturn won the match.
00:10:09Okay, I'll agree with that, but your winner is Lodi.
00:10:12Take away Saturn, what would have happened?
00:10:13Those rubber pants would have been around his neck, maybe, but your winner is still Lodi.
00:10:19We'll be back live on TNT.
00:10:22Your winner, Lodi.
00:10:23Stop it.
00:10:26We welcome you back to Miami as we begin the third hour of WCW.
00:10:31Monday Nitro.
00:10:32And we're gonna open up this third hour with a bang.
00:10:36Please welcome with me, the captain of Team WCW, the one and the only, Diamond Dallas Page.
00:10:52There's a man, Mike, who is too tough for his own good.
00:10:55The people's champion, DDP, makes his way out in front of this tremendous
00:11:00crowd here in Miami.
00:11:02Did you hear the ultimatum earlier this evening?
00:11:05Yikes!
00:11:06From the captain of the NWO Wolfpack, Kevin Nash, he said that he was gonna give DDP one more week
00:11:15until next Monday night to make up his mind.
00:11:18I guess that means whether he's going to join the NWO Wolfpack or not.
00:11:24You know, they've had the t-shirt there and waiting for Diamond Dallas Page.
00:11:29Well, that's the guy you'd want on your team.
00:11:30The captain of Team WCW, and so far it looks like he has done quite a job in assembling a trio
00:11:38for Fall Brawl in the War Games with the official announcement that Rowdy Roddy Piper and the
00:11:44Warrior will join him in the big pay-per-view matchup on September the 13th.
00:11:51Well, just look at this man is done with Karl Malone.
00:11:56Jay Leno, the Warrior.
00:12:01Well, we head now to War Games and listen to the fans for the man in charge of the WCW team here, DDP.
00:12:20You know, T-Bone, everybody knows I'm from the Jersey Shore.
00:12:25And I know a lot of people infiltrate down here to Florida.
00:12:32And I know a lot of people in here are equally proud of a lot of boys from the Jersey Shore.
00:12:40And this weekend, you had right for that.
00:12:44I gotta send a very special shout-out to the new Little League World Series champions,
00:12:52Toms River, New Jersey, Little League.
00:12:55Them boys jacked it out.
00:12:59Very proud of you guys, bringing it back to USA.
00:13:02Now that team has a bunch of individuals that form as a unit.
00:13:09That reminds me a little bit of our team, T-Bone.
00:13:11By the way, did you see that game?
00:13:15What a game.
00:13:15The bottom line is they all form as individuals into one unit.
00:13:23Well, we got three individuals for War Games.
00:13:28Warrior, Piper, and Paige.
00:13:32Now, sleazy-y, Eric Bischoff, you thought your pen was going to be able to keep out anybody that I wanted to help bring in.
00:13:47Well, Bischoff, I guess your pen ran out of ink.
00:13:52And as for Hollywood scum.
00:13:55Hollywood scum.
00:13:57Let's try that again.
00:14:01I like it.
00:14:02Hollywood scum.
00:14:06It does have a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
00:14:07Yes.
00:14:08You think you're the only one who's got a shot at winning war games.
00:14:14Well, I don't think so.
00:14:19The way I see it, your mind is really stirred up.
00:14:23And right now, I'm going to bring out the man who helped stir it up big time.
00:14:30Let's hear it for the commissioner, Hot Rod, Roddy Piper.
00:14:35You know, you take Piper's mind and mentality and the things he's been through in this sport,
00:14:43and you combine them with the determination and the toughness of Diamond Dallas Page.
00:14:49And you top off that cake with some warrior dressing, and you've got yourself a dessert that'll choke you one way or the other.
00:14:58You've got something called the WCW Dream Team.
00:15:01Oh, you've got a buffet there that won't quit.
00:15:05There's your dream team.
00:15:06Three individuals just tailor-made for the war game.
00:15:10And for each other, because they're all off the wall.
00:15:14No matter what they do, they won't get mad at each other.
00:15:16They just will snap all at once.
00:15:19The most dangerous match in pro wrestling is the perfect setting for those three.
00:15:23Perfect.
00:15:24Hey, Captain, how you doing, man?
00:15:29Can I see this for a second?
00:15:32You know, I heard Baldy out here earlier, Hogan, talking that Bret Hart is going to be one of his partners.
00:15:54Bret Hart, the Marilyn Manson of wrestling, the wannabe.
00:15:58You know, Bret, I've got to tell you folks real serious about Bret Hart, and tell you what his major malfunction is.
00:16:06Besides a little lack of preparation age.
00:16:13I saw Bret Hart in his very first big league match.
00:16:17He was coming in in his Schwinn bike, had his Letterman jacket on, living at the YMCA,
00:16:23comes into the locker room, takes, puts his purple trunks on, his purple boots.
00:16:28His skin is as white as Johnson's baby powder, and, and he looks, he looks like halfway
00:16:34crossed between Barney the dinosaur and a Power Ranger, trying to look cool and slick.
00:16:41I'm not joking a bit.
00:16:43He's scared to death.
00:16:44He's in the corner shaking in the dressing room.
00:16:47He comes to me, and he tells me that his dad says, I'm his cousin.
00:16:52I say, I ain't got no family.
00:16:53I ain't even got a dog, man.
00:16:55You ain't know my cousin of mine.
00:16:58He says to me, I'm fighting John, John, John, John in the ring in Maple Leaf Garden, and, and, and I don't know how to beat the guy.
00:17:05Yeah, and I say, well, leg dive him.
00:17:09He leg dives him, comes back proud as a peach, and he's sitting there, and he was a sweet little kid at that time, not a slimy jerk.
00:17:21He says to me, he wants to follow me, and he doesn't, and the airports, I'm trying to get rid of Bret Hart, and he's pulling on, and I'm slapping him away.
00:17:30He's pulling on, I'm slapping him away.
00:17:33Finally, he goes on to become an intercontinental champion, a tag champion, and a world champion, and now he becomes a world chump.
00:17:46Bret Hart, what is your major malfunction?
00:17:50Do you not know that Hulk Hogan is conning you?
00:17:55Are you that stupid?
00:17:56Do we need shock treatment?
00:17:58What is it?
00:17:59Do you not know he's conning you for everything you got?
00:18:03You're that stupid?
00:18:05I was your friend.
00:18:07But no, no, no, no, no.
00:18:09You want to try to be cool, but you know, folks, I'll tell you what he is.
00:18:14He's that little kid in the corner shaking like a shrew in, like, in Maple Leaf Garden.
00:18:20He's that little kid.
00:18:21He's coming out so cool with the hair so cool, and he's still afraid, and I can tell you why.
00:18:27He's got an NWO facade behind him.
00:18:32He doesn't wear an NWO t-shirt.
00:18:34He's out with Hogan smoking Cuban cigars, driving fast cars, and using Hogan's suntan bed.
00:18:42But no, he still can't.
00:18:44I say to you, Brett, tonight, tonight, stand on your own two feet like a man.
00:18:50Your name is Hart.
00:18:51Put some heart there.
00:18:53Quit breaking your father's heart, your mother's heart.
00:18:56They're responsible for everything you do.
00:18:58Come on down.
00:19:00Uh-oh.
00:19:01And take care of business.
00:19:04No, take care of business.
00:19:08Diamond's not going to waste any time.
00:19:11You want to come in the ring?
00:19:12I'll take it to you.
00:19:13Oh, my goodness.
00:19:14Well, he was holding his own with the Giant until first the headbutt sends Paige down.
00:19:19Now the big boot for Piper.
00:19:21Paige climbs on, hanging on for dear life.
00:19:24That's about all you can do.
00:19:31Oh, that's 540 pounds across the throat of Diamond Dallas Paige.
00:19:40Piper trying to get to his feet.
00:19:42Security has made their way to the ring.
00:19:45Get this guy off of DDP.
00:19:47Piper's trying to pull him off.
00:19:52And down goes Piper.
00:19:54How do you make a guy that big do anything if you don't want to do it?
00:20:07Well, I guess that's the only way.
00:20:10Head of security, Doug Dillinger, putting the cuffs on the Giant.
00:20:14Goal!
00:20:15Goal!
00:20:16Goal!
00:20:17Goal!
00:20:18Goal!
00:20:19Goal!
00:20:20Goal!
00:20:21Goal!
00:20:22Calling for Eric Bischoff to bail him out.
00:20:24Goal!
00:20:25Goal!
00:20:26Goal!
00:20:27Goal!
00:20:28Goal!
00:20:29Goal!
00:20:30Goal!
00:20:31Goal!
00:20:32Goal!
00:20:33That's a good show are yet to come.
00:20:34We're gonna see Goldberg in our number three.
00:20:36Do you have any cigarettes on your?
00:20:37Plus the big tag team main event.
00:20:39We're live from Miami.
00:20:40We gotta give it to the Giant to ride the screws!
00:20:42And now let's officially begin the third hour of WCW Monday Retro.
00:20:47And in this third hour, Cruiserweight champ, Juventud Guerrero,
00:20:51television camp, Chris Jericho, world champion, Goldberg.
00:20:55Hollywood Hogan has put the Hitman heart for the first time ever.
00:21:01And the tag team against Sting, the total package Lex Luger.
00:21:07Gentlemen, I don't think there's any question that the giant has become
00:21:11a man on a mission when NWO Hollywood needs someone to get involved and to do something.
00:21:17He's the man taking matters into his own hands.
00:21:20Here's that music.
00:21:23NWO black and white sent out the biggest gun of all.
00:21:27Seven foot four, 540 plus pounds of the giant.
00:21:32It was awfully effective out there against both Rowdy Roddy Piper and Diamond Dallas.
00:21:37Cajun Tony, you saw that up close and personal.
00:21:41Yeah, boy.
00:21:43Having a giant run into the ring, even though I know and hopefully know and feel I'm not a target.
00:21:49This is a scary, scary sight.
00:21:53You know what's more scary about that sight?
00:21:56Playing in surgery, having that doc walk in with a rubber glove.
00:21:59That's Dr. Burnout.
00:22:01Dr. Major Burnout.
00:22:04What's his name, Dr. Schwartz?
00:22:06Cecil Burnout Schwartz.
00:22:08Cecil B. Schwartz.
00:22:11Well, here he comes again, along with what we should know by now.
00:22:16We're not going to be fooled by anything they should say or anything they should do.
00:22:21Boy, look at this, the gall, the unmitigated gall, and
00:22:25the arrogance that just permeates every member of NWO Hollywood.
00:22:30From Bischoff, Hogan, all the way down.
00:22:32Look at the music.
00:22:33Look at the doc though.
00:22:34You know, when I stepped off that NWO private jet I felt the heat from the Miami sun.
00:22:49But then when I stepped in this arena, I still felt the heat.
00:22:54And then I realized it had nothing to do with the sun at all.
00:23:00Had to do with all you freaks, all the ladies and their eyes beaming down on me.
00:23:07Wondering, am I a myth, am I a legend, or am I a phenomenon?
00:23:19Yeah, the biggest freak is standing next to him.
00:23:22But you see, when Big Papa Pup gives you that feeling that makes you hit the ceiling,
00:23:31you'll realize that I'm a myth, a legend, a phenomenon, and a dream, all wrapped into one.
00:23:41Does the word quack mean anything to you?
00:23:46And you can see, I brought my world famous doctor with me again.
00:24:02But you see, I still have a problem with that pencil pushing, piece of trash, JJ Dillon questioning the seriousness of my injury.
00:24:17So I only, not only got one doctor, I'm going to have a panel of doctors to prove that I'm not 100%.
00:24:29Now, Doc, I understand you flew in a doctorate tonight from where?
00:24:36Jamaica, man.
00:24:37Jamaica, man.
00:24:38And this guy's good, right?
00:24:41Right on.
00:24:42And what's this guy's name?
00:24:47Dr. Juju Eubengi.
00:24:51And he's good.
00:24:53And he's here tonight.
00:24:55Right on.
00:24:56Right on.
00:24:57Well, come on down, Dr. Eubengi.
00:25:00And come on and show JJ Dillon what this is all about.
00:25:06Come on down.
00:25:09The doctor has no pants on.
00:25:14That should matter to you right now?
00:25:16That would make me leave the office.
00:25:18What is?
00:25:19Don't worry, man.
00:25:21Be happy.
00:25:22Dr. Eubengi.
00:25:24Oh, hello, man.
00:25:27What's up, Dr. Juju Eubengi.
00:25:29Yes.
00:25:30I'm here to, I'm here to heal.
00:25:33Big Buck and Buck, please.
00:25:35Don't touch me.
00:25:36Don't touch me.
00:25:37I don't know what to say here.
00:25:39Let's just watch.
00:25:40You can say he's about as legit as the other quack in the ring.
00:25:43Hey, he's Buff Bagwell.
00:25:45Am I the only one that realizes this?
00:25:47Did you realize that brain is Buff Bagwell?
00:25:49You're kidding.
00:25:50Good scoop, Tony.
00:25:51Of course I knew that.
00:25:52Of course I knew that.
00:25:53This is him, right?
00:25:55Let me introduce myself, ma.
00:25:58Juju Eubengi.
00:26:01Hello.
00:26:02Hello, Americans.
00:26:03Yes.
00:26:04Big bup-a-pup.
00:26:06I'm, it's my understanding that J.J. Dillon seems not to understand this.
00:26:13Am I right?
00:26:15That's correct.
00:26:17As you know, Dr. Cecil Swartz, a personal friend of mine, one of the best doctors in
00:26:22the world today.
00:26:23Mm.
00:26:24But you know what, big bup-a-pup?
00:26:26I'm gonna heal you, but I got to have you concentrate on me, man.
00:26:31Can you do this?
00:26:33I can do this.
00:26:34Concentrate.
00:26:35Yeah, it's gotta be flea powder for the other doc.
00:26:58By now, I'd hit the door.
00:27:15Looks like Dillon's fingers after the donuts.
00:27:17The fans are on to this.
00:27:28How much more do we have to endure this?
00:27:30Now listen man, last week, you could not hold this left arm up.
00:27:41Now please, show the people that big bup-a-pup is okay to wrestle that stupid dog-faced gremlin.
00:27:50Hold it up, big bup-a-pup.
00:27:52Please.
00:27:53He's healed.
00:27:54He's healed.
00:27:55Thank God for Jamaica, man.
00:27:58Jamaica, man.
00:28:00He's healed, and I'm buff, and I'm the stuff.
00:28:08Always looks like he's strutting on hot coals.
00:28:18Or tack.
00:28:19Buff!
00:28:20I love the voodoo that you do.
00:28:25So well.
00:28:26Now Ricky, I know you're in Detroit training for Fall Brawl to beat me up.
00:28:33And just cuz I'm down here in Miami, don't think I got my boys, Baxter, Cross, McMichael, Martin, and Siegel watching your back.
00:28:45And I know what you're doing.
00:28:47So you can train all you want.
00:28:50And you'll never look like me.
00:28:53Ricky, you'll never have the largest arms in the world.
00:28:58And nobody can put this back down for the three count.
00:29:03So Ricky, Fall Brawl, I'm gonna make you realize that I was telling the truth all along.
00:29:11That I'm the bigger, stronger, faster, Steiner brother.
00:29:19And you're going down.
00:29:21And I'm gonna make you feel pain.
00:29:25Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo.
00:29:28Hey, shut up.
00:29:29He's not the guy you want.
00:29:30There he is.
00:29:31Not in Detroit.
00:29:32My brother is gonna.
00:29:37He's here.
00:29:39Beat it, Doc.
00:29:42Nonchalante walks in the ring, look at this.
00:29:44Hey, phenomenon.
00:29:46I didn't come down here so you could break a hangnail or come up injured again.
00:29:51I just want you to know, I'm watching you, boy.
00:29:55And on the 13th, I will kick your ass.
00:30:05A very smart Rick Steiner.
00:30:08I say smart because Steiner.
00:30:11Whoa, whoa, lights again, Tony.
00:30:13Lights again.
00:30:16Once again, the warrior sign.
00:30:23Shines to the top of the arena and there he is again.
00:30:28What a physical specimen.
00:30:33The one warrior nation looks over us all.
00:30:40Welcome back to WCW Money Nitro.
00:30:42We'll be back to wrestling here in just a moment.
00:30:44Want to take a few seconds though to congratulate many of our colleagues and
00:30:48WCW personnel.
00:30:50You can tell what a business is very successful because offsprings are popping up right and
00:30:55left.
00:30:56Congratulations to Elena Bowen.
00:30:58Her husband just had a brand new daughter, Samantha Lynn.
00:31:01One of our security personnel, Bruce Barfield.
00:31:04And his wife just had a new daughter, Lacey Reese.
00:31:07Elliot Green in production had a son, Jahari.
00:31:10And then just recently, our good friend Neil Pruitt and his wife Ann celebrated their very
00:31:14first child, a boy, Alex Scott.
00:31:17Seven pounds, 11 ounces.
00:31:18Congratulations, Neil and Ann.
00:31:21What have you been doing all day?
00:31:22Going to the baby hospital, taking a survey?
00:31:26Now you're going to have to buy gifts for all of them, Tony.
00:31:28What's wrong with that?
00:31:29Like you said you would.
00:31:30What's wrong with that?
00:31:31They won't remember their kids.
00:31:33WCW Cruiserweight title.
00:31:36It's Juventud Guerrera and Evan Courageous in this one-on-one matchup.
00:31:41Juventud, what a great champion he is.
00:31:44A champion of integrity, I might add.
00:31:46Yes, yes.
00:31:47Which is so very important in our sport.
00:31:49It's so very important and there was none of that.
00:31:52Last segment with Scott Steiner and Buff Bagwell and a bogus doctor there.
00:31:57Still to come, Goldberg, the world champ.
00:31:59He'll be out here.
00:32:01Chris Jericho, the cruiserweight champ against the Disco Inferno and Hollywood Hogan,
00:32:06Bret the Hitman Hart against Sting and Lex Luger.
00:32:09As obviously the experience here resides with Juventud Guerrera, Mike, today.
00:32:14And arguably the biggest matchup of young Evan Courageous' career with the WCW
00:32:19World's Cruiserweight title at stake.
00:32:21With just the relative age of these two wrestlers and they're very close,
00:32:24but when you factor in that Juventud Guerrera has been wrestling for six or seven years
00:32:29and that Evan Courageous is still a rookie, you're right, Tony.
00:32:32Huge experience edge as well as the title edge goes to the champion.
00:32:38Juventud Guerrera, who since being...
00:32:41Oh!
00:32:43Wake up.
00:32:44Since being separated from his mask has become quite a force in the cruiserweight division.
00:32:48And that's the last thing we expected.
00:32:51Here's a reversal by Courageous.
00:32:53Up, and look at this. Powered by the young man.
00:32:57And he won't quit.
00:33:02Hoovey just doesn't quit.
00:33:05Look at the body on this Courageous.
00:33:07This guy's gonna be a major star someday.
00:33:09Into the ropes.
00:33:11Mr. Lariat.
00:33:12Hoovey, too, gets caught with a great move by Courageous.
00:33:15Charles Robinson is the referee.
00:33:18He looks good, don't he?
00:33:19He's really impressed us on a number of our other programs.
00:33:22WCW's Saturday Night, for example.
00:33:24This is his big chance, however, with the world's title at stake.
00:33:29Knife itch chopped by Courageous.
00:33:36And into the corner he goes.
00:33:39Here comes Juventud.
00:33:41Courageous, not a bad job just to move him over the top that time.
00:33:45Get him out of the way.
00:33:46Get him out of the way is right.
00:33:47He's up on springboard into a missile dropkick.
00:33:50Notice the way Courageous met his feet with his chin.
00:33:54We noticed that.
00:33:55Very good.
00:33:56What a Courageous.
00:33:57Always have to be prepared, though,
00:33:59for Juventud Carrera to go to the springboard
00:34:01once he gets out to the ring apron.
00:34:03You never know what he's gonna do.
00:34:05He can do so many different things.
00:34:07Fans, as we know, the teams are set three sides
00:34:12for War Games on September 13th.
00:34:15Pick up.
00:34:16Good move by Courageous.
00:34:17And a power slam out of the corner.
00:34:19He's got a cover.
00:34:20He could win.
00:34:21Did not.
00:34:22Could have won.
00:34:23That was close.
00:34:24That was.
00:34:25The sides are set.
00:34:26Three different teams.
00:34:27NWO Wolfpack.
00:34:28NWO Hollywood.
00:34:31And WCW with one man going on.
00:34:35Here's another cover.
00:34:36Had a good lateral press that time.
00:34:38Got all the weight.
00:34:40Down across his shoulders.
00:34:42Could not hold him down.
00:34:43One man will emerge out of War Games
00:34:45to go on to face Goldberg for the world title.
00:34:48Boy, how tough is that gonna be for a man to survive,
00:34:51win War Games,
00:34:52and then a man to go on to face Goldberg.
00:34:56That's like winning every war you're in.
00:34:59I mean, to go through all those guys in a cage,
00:35:02that kind of a match,
00:35:03and then know you're gonna meet Goldberg,
00:35:05you've gotta be up for something like that.
00:35:07But...
00:35:08Well, it really is the ultimate physical test, isn't it?
00:35:10Oh!
00:35:11No doubt about that.
00:35:12If you can survive.
00:35:18Robertson trying to move Courageous back.
00:35:22Courageous very gung-ho here.
00:35:24Really wanting to get into it.
00:35:26Nothing wrong with being aggressive,
00:35:27and I know you'd agree with that, Brain.
00:35:28Nothing wrong with that, no matter what you do in life.
00:35:31Be aggressive.
00:35:33Pick up.
00:35:38Courageous has come to fight.
00:35:40And what a mark he's making on the Cruiserweight division
00:35:45here on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:35:48I'm telling you,
00:35:49this guy's gonna be a star down the road,
00:35:51and not too long.
00:35:52Snap married him up.
00:35:53I'm talking about Courageous.
00:35:54Yeah, he's fundamentally sound, there's no question.
00:35:56He's in great shape.
00:35:57He's got youth.
00:35:58Just totally dominating this matchup with Juventud Guerrera,
00:36:01the youth warrior.
00:36:03Oh, what are they pointing to?
00:36:12Rear chinlock that time, and he held on to it,
00:36:14but that time, Juventud went all the way to the ropes.
00:36:19It was a smart move by Juve.
00:36:21The drop down.
00:36:22Courageous goes out to the floor.
00:36:23Juventud up on the top.
00:36:25Oh!
00:36:26Oh, the flying cross-body block.
00:36:28He hit the plancha perfectly.
00:36:31It comes down to being on the outside in high-risk maneuvers.
00:36:35And each and every time against a luchador,
00:36:38you're always on the short end of the stick.
00:36:41He brought up a good point,
00:36:43and the point was about Bret Hart
00:36:45and his so-called allegiance to Sting,
00:36:48and how that will play out, if at all.
00:36:50Oh!
00:36:51Oh, what a guillotine leg drop.
00:36:53He and Hollywood Hogan.
00:36:54Team up for the first time ever later on here tonight.
00:36:58Full extension of the leg by Juventud Guerrera
00:37:01as he hit the guillotine leg drop.
00:37:03But also, as you can see, he made contact.
00:37:06His back with the canvas makes the cover.
00:37:09Could have him down, but Courageous kicked away.
00:37:12A lot when a man kicks out is on instinct.
00:37:17Sometimes your bells rung so bad,
00:37:19you're not even sure where you're at,
00:37:21and you hear that referee's one hand come down,
00:37:23second hand, you know you better get out of there.
00:37:25Moving to, well, Sidney Mann, and oh, boy.
00:37:32The big whiff that time.
00:37:34Nobody there except the turnbuckle,
00:37:36and that time hurt his right knee.
00:37:39Boy, that could turn this thing around,
00:37:41and that could be the opening for this young man,
00:37:44Evan Courageous, to become the cruiserweight chain
00:37:47of the world.
00:37:48Can he do it?
00:37:49He's going to the leg.
00:37:51Oh!
00:37:52And drops him on his knees.
00:37:53He realizes that.
00:37:54Cover him, cover him.
00:37:55Great strategy.
00:37:57He went to kick the knee, and he backed away,
00:37:59and now he's focusing on the knee.
00:38:01Courageous could have it here.
00:38:03Submission hold.
00:38:07Really adapted well to what happened to Hooventude moments ago.
00:38:10Hoovy never gives up, though.
00:38:13He broke the hold is what he did,
00:38:15and Courageous goes back to the attack once again.
00:38:18I think that's an experience, breaking that hold.
00:38:20That is.
00:38:21He should have held on to a little bit longer than that.
00:38:23Well, I'd have half-crabbed him.
00:38:24I'd have got that one-legged Boston Crab in there,
00:38:26and then just sat back on him.
00:38:28But he allowed Hooventude to get back to his feet,
00:38:30and amazingly, he's standing.
00:38:33Never allow a man up.
00:38:35Nope.
00:38:36You're right, Brain.
00:38:37I hate to agree with you on anything,
00:38:38but I agree with you on that one.
00:38:39Doesn't matter if you had a cab stand, the airport, restaurants.
00:38:42Never let anybody up.
00:38:47Rear chin lock is applied, and Hooventude trying to keep Courageous down but cannot.
00:38:52Great matchup for the Cruiserweight belt here,
00:38:55as this young man, Evan Courageous, has given Hooventude all he wants.
00:38:58Pick up.
00:38:59Oh!
00:39:00Hoovy reversed it.
00:39:01Hoovy did, but Hoovy landed also.
00:39:03Not on his rear end that time, not really on his feet,
00:39:07but he grabbed the head of Evan Courageous on the way down.
00:39:10Courageous picks him up.
00:39:13Could be it.
00:39:14Cover him!
00:39:15Boy, there's inexperience again.
00:39:17Oh, he could have had him.
00:39:18Maybe could have had him.
00:39:19Maybe.
00:39:20More so than he could now.
00:39:22You're right, because...
00:39:23Yeah, look at Hooventude recover.
00:39:25Just the opening that he may have needed.
00:39:27Forearm shot, side of the head.
00:39:32Hooventude Guerrera's up on top.
00:39:35Northwest may be on strike, but Courageous is gonna take a flight here.
00:39:39Is he, though?
00:39:41Can he fight this one off?
00:39:43Oh, he cannot!
00:39:44He's grounded.
00:39:45Frankensteiner'd him back into the ring.
00:39:47And Hooventude Guerrera!
00:39:50Hey, Doug, put the sign down.
00:39:52Cathy's with Okerlund.
00:39:53Oh, my goodness!
00:39:58Oh!
00:39:59Courageous!
00:40:01One step ahead.
00:40:06And the young man still has something left here.
00:40:10We're seeing a lot here, guys.
00:40:12What it means to go after a major title.
00:40:14And it's a great move of his own!
00:40:16How about that?
00:40:17Frankensteiner, Hoovie back in.
00:40:18Two!
00:40:19Two, and he couldn't hold him down!
00:40:20No!
00:40:21And this Courageous has come back from a lot.
00:40:22He's showing me something tonight.
00:40:28Don't leave him!
00:40:29Oh!
00:40:31You know, at least go for the one, too, if the guy kicks out.
00:40:37Well, then, stymie him again.
00:40:40But don't leave him when you've got an opportunity to pin the man.
00:40:43One of these days, these young men are gonna learn that basic wrestling holds will win matches more time than these high-flying, high-risk things.
00:40:50Boy, and for a couple bucks, I can show you the right way.
00:40:53I'm telling you.
00:40:54Hooventude's got him hugged.
00:40:55It's almost a form of a dragon sleeper there.
00:40:57Picks him up, and there's the Hoovie driver!
00:41:00That's it.
00:41:01Oh.
00:41:02Nobody gets up from that.
00:41:06The Hoovie driver for Hooventude Guerrera!
00:41:12Well, it was a courageous performance by the challenger, Evan Courageous, but the experience edge of Hooventude Guerrera paid off in the end as he retains the WCW World's Cruiserweight Championship belt.
00:41:30What an athlete from Mexico.
00:41:35Time for the Nitro Girls to come out.

00:42:28I like this beer.
00:42:29All right, Tony, it has been a wild one here tonight.
00:42:31This is America at its very best.
00:42:34Bobby Heenan, you want to get to a nice small town.
00:42:37Timberley and myself are going to move to Wapakoneta.
00:42:40Here's the man, health, physical education teacher at Wapakoneta High.
00:42:44Scott Wilson, you put it together.
00:42:46And you said in the tape last spring, did you ever think this would happen?
00:42:49No, not really, Gene.
00:42:50I just wanted to try to do something fun for the kids here.
00:42:53We got some great suits of Wapakoneta, and we went down, put a video together with our media club.
00:42:59They sent a great tape, and look, we're having a great time here tonight.
00:43:02And I want to thank you for having us because it has been spectacular.
00:43:06We've enjoyed it.
00:43:07It's been a long time since I had this much fun.
00:43:09Kimberly, what about you?
00:43:10Good time tonight?
00:43:11Oh, I'm having a great time.
00:43:12And all I can say is parties and rescues afterwards.
00:43:17I love that.
00:43:18Let's go with the Nitro girls and the Wapakoneta High School cheerleaders.
00:43:23It's party time.

00:44:00No doubt about that.
00:44:01Can you imagine the Brain, the Nitro Girls in Indy?
00:44:05Telling to my good friend Jeff Pidgeon at WIBC.
00:44:09It's gonna be a ball in town.
00:44:11Welcome to Monday Night Jericho.
00:44:26And I know why you are all Jericho-holics.
00:44:29I know.
00:44:30It's because I am who you all wanna be.
00:44:34I am better than each and every one of you.
00:44:38But as your role model, I promise to never, ever let you down.
00:44:49Nothing will run a good night like a Chris Jericho with a microphone, huh?
00:44:53Tony, did you ever have a role model?
00:44:55Yes, I did.
00:44:56Who was it?
00:44:57Well, honestly, yeah.
00:45:00How about you, Mike?
00:45:04A role model?
00:45:06Yeah.
00:45:07Oh, come on here.
00:45:08Disco and product.
00:45:09It's taking a minute to make a song.
00:45:10Oh!
00:45:11Which I would do, yes.
00:45:12Yeah, you'd do.
00:45:13A little cut to the chase.
00:45:14What is it, Heath?
00:45:15What do you want?
00:45:16I was wondering who your role model is.
00:45:18Mike, can you do it that quickly?
00:45:20Like with Jericho and Disco?
00:45:22These two clowns in the ring?
00:45:23Are you kidding?
00:45:24Well, I mean, not those two.
00:45:25But did you hear somebody you looked up to in life growing up?
00:45:27Eric Bischoff, Hollywood.
00:45:28I don't know.
00:45:29You were right.
00:45:30He was in the back during the whole first half of the show.
00:45:32No, I just asked.
00:45:33Just coddling up to Hogan and Bischoff.
00:45:34Schmoozing.
00:45:35He comes out, Bischoff with the pin, wielding his power.
00:45:36Mm-hmm.
00:45:37Who's the first man to turn on us?
00:45:38The brain.
00:45:39Now Jericho runs over Disco Inferno.
00:45:40Still to come, Hollywood Hogan will be out here.
00:45:41He and Bret the Hitman Hart together against Sting and Lex Luger.
00:45:44Good move.
00:45:45This is what Disco's gotta do.
00:45:46Instead of dancing, instead of dancing at the beginning of matches, he's gotta go out there and just take it from the beginning.
00:46:03Take it right to his opponent.
00:46:04He can do it.
00:46:05He's got the ability.
00:46:06He just gets a little derailed every now and then.
00:46:09But if he stays like this, this man's gonna be great.
00:46:12And Disco, no stranger to the WCW World's TV Championship, a two-time former TV title holder.
00:46:19And two great titles in title reigns, we might add.
00:46:23Jericho knows him quite well.
00:46:25Here's the reversal by Disco Inferno.
00:46:27Great.
00:46:29Tilt the world slam by the former TV champ.
00:46:32Woo!
00:46:33See, that's okay to do, but not then.
00:46:36Beat the man down a little more.
00:46:38Yeah, you're not kidding.
00:46:39Not against Jericho.
00:46:40No.
00:46:41Boy, he had him from the beginning, too.
00:46:46Come on, baby!
00:46:47What has become commonplace and what never works is that arrogant one-foot cover that he should know by now.
00:46:53Lion Salt.
00:46:54Oh, boy.
00:46:55Knees got up.
00:46:56In the solar plexus.
00:46:57That could give Disco Inferno the chance to win this thing.
00:47:01Oh!
00:47:02Nice follow-up.
00:47:04He's got him here if he cakes him.
00:47:06A great third move.
00:47:07Here's the cover.
00:47:08One.
00:47:09Two.
00:47:10I'm impressed.
00:47:11He did go for the cover.
00:47:12He followed up three or four moves and went right for it.
00:47:15And brings Jericho up and down, crashing to the mat.
00:47:18Goes for the cover again.
00:47:19Couldn't hold him down, Jericho.
00:47:21But he's trying.
00:47:22Boy, you're not kidding.
00:47:23I'm really impressed with Disco, especially since as of late, he's been concentrating on tag team wrestling with Alex Wright.
00:47:29Disco's been, here's a bridge after a German suplex.
00:47:34Disco's been looking good.
00:47:37I guess he realizes of the two, he's not the biggest jerk in the ring.
00:47:40And that's something new for him.
00:47:41No, the referee is.
00:47:43Slap to the side of the face.
00:47:46Well, he's not the biggest jerk.
00:47:48Would you?
00:47:49Please shut him.
00:47:50Please shut him.
00:47:51Into the midsection.
00:47:52He got him.
00:47:53That's his move.
00:47:54He's got him right here.
00:47:55No.
00:47:56That's his jawbreaker move.
00:47:57It's taking him a little while to get over there.
00:48:01One, two.
00:48:02You can see Jericho looking up, got the foot on the ropes.
00:48:05Oh, my.
00:48:06That was close again.
00:48:08Boy, that shows me seasoning.
00:48:10He now knows where he's at.
00:48:11He's not gonna use any energy.
00:48:12He don't have to.
00:48:13Put the foot out.
00:48:14It's easier than pushing the man off you.
00:48:16Good move.
00:48:17He's doing great.
00:48:18Disco in front, I'll hit a steam.
00:48:20Jericho holds on.
00:48:22Puts him down.
00:48:23Trying to get him over.
00:48:24Look at Disco fighting off.
00:48:25Trying to fight off the lion tamer.
00:48:27Push him.
00:48:28Swing out the chair and whip.
00:48:30Couldn't do it.
00:48:31Meow, Big Puddy.
00:48:33We got the lion.
00:48:34Is he gonna tap out?
00:48:35Or is he gonna get the bottom rope?
00:48:37Can he make it?
00:48:38No.
00:48:39Reach, reach.
00:48:40Referee in great position and look at Jericho pulling back.
00:48:43Oh, you gotta crawl.
00:48:44Great move by Jericho to pull him back into the ring.
00:48:47Perfect ring positioning.
00:48:48And he left the fingers.
00:48:49He locked his hands.
00:48:50That did it right there.
00:48:51That's right, Bray.
00:48:52That's a great call.
00:48:53He locked his hands underneath the ankles of the Disco Aquino and that was all they could take.
00:48:59But he also lowered, if you notice, his backside right down on the lower part.
00:49:03And this goes back where he couldn't go anyplace.
00:49:06Oh, this man is, he's genuine.
00:49:09Goldberg next, live on TNT.
00:49:11The man.
00:49:12The man.
00:49:13The man.
00:49:17Unexpectedly, we are joined by Big Sexy Kevin Nash.
00:49:22Hi, guys.
00:49:23How are you?
00:49:24I'm super.
00:49:25Mr. Nash, how are you?
00:49:27Good, Bobby.
00:49:28I had to come out and do a little color on this.
00:49:30Please, enjoy yourself.
00:49:31I looked on the sheet back there, they said Goldberg's coming out, huh?
00:49:33The man's coming out.
00:49:34The man, if I could bring back some memories from a week ago, if you and I kind of, or
00:49:41you and he kind of went eye to eye after all the carnage was over with.
00:49:44Still a little animosity there with, uh, one belief?
00:49:47I mean, what do you, what do you want to deem animosity?
00:49:50As far as I'm concerned, we've had some situations between the two of us.
00:49:55Uh, I'm not afraid to fight the guy.
00:49:57All you gotta do is put the paperwork in front of him.
00:49:59It's all about belts.
00:50:00I want a shot at the little belt.
00:50:01I'll be more than happy to take one.
00:50:03But I'm not gonna do it for free.
00:50:05Well, obviously, you're not because...
00:50:07And you shouldn't.
00:50:09Can I finish your break?
00:50:10Oh, excuse me.
00:50:11If this man right here, Big Sexy wins, as you see Goldberg make his entrance from his locker room.
00:50:18If he wins War Games, then you will get the shot at Goldberg coming up at Halloween Havoc.
00:50:23And I said this, and I really think it's correct.
00:50:26If you look at it, it's three teams.
00:50:28And it's three teams working together, but one man must emerge from the nine men.
00:50:33And I think if there's any cohesive team as the Wolfpack team, you guys approve that.
00:50:37Absolutely. Absolutely.
00:50:38There's nothing more than I wanted to be the victor of that and get a shot against this cat right here.
00:50:43I really think this is one group that puts its egos aside and works as a team.
00:50:48And I don't think it would matter to Big Sexy.
00:50:51If Luger would win or Stig would win, it wouldn't matter.
00:50:53I don't think it would matter to the other one season.
00:50:55You know, one thing I gotta say is the irony of all this, as the giant snapping turtle makes his way to the ring.
00:51:03One thing I gotta say is the irony of this is the guy in the ring right now that he's going up against was my original tag team partner.
00:51:11You know that?
00:51:13No.
00:51:14Oh, yeah. Nine years ago at WCW. This guy was my original tag team partner.
00:51:18Al Green?
00:51:19Absolutely.
00:51:20You know exactly right?
00:51:21I had forgotten about that.
00:51:23Al's a tough cat. Let's see what he's got tonight against Goldberg.
00:51:27And it's the first time seeing Al Green back in the ring.
00:51:30And Goldberg is gonna try to make it 141 wins without a defeat.
00:51:36And that's impressive.
00:51:37And you know, being that he became the world champion is obviously impressive.
00:51:42But to win, and still now, he better go to the 22nd of this month.
00:51:47And I say this month, I really mean September, which starts tomorrow.
00:51:51But the 22nd of September will be his one-year anniversary in pro wrestling.
00:51:55It's amazing.
00:51:56And look what the man has accomplished.
00:51:59Undefeated, heavyweight champion of the world in less than a year.
00:52:04And everyone all across the world is champion.
00:52:07Goldberg.
00:52:08I'm not.
00:52:09No, and they could be, after a while, Channing Nash.
00:52:14I'll tell you what, if I win that War Games, I'll give you one thing.
00:52:17This guy's gonna have a one in his record after that 140.
00:52:22Al Green trying to...
00:52:25Goldberg, no effect here.
00:52:27And Al Green is a strong, powerful man.
00:52:29Hitting the man with everything.
00:52:30Trying to choke him here.
00:52:31Look at Goldberg.
00:52:33Oh!
00:52:34Picked him up and lifted him out.
00:52:35What a display of strength by that big man.
00:52:38Obviously, to be successful, and it's easier said than done, Kevin Nash.
00:52:43You gotta stay away from his power.
00:52:45Oh, absolutely.
00:52:46But one thing, you know, I think I've got the power to match them.
00:52:49Whoa!
00:52:50If anyone does, I would agree with that.
00:52:52Back body drop.
00:52:53And I've also had the opportunity to take a couple of those spears, and I'm still here.
00:52:58So, I got that going for him, too.
00:53:02Great story in the Miami Herald today about Goldberg.
00:53:05What's this?
00:53:07Attaboy, huh?
00:53:08Al Green took a lock.
00:53:10Boy, the fans thought the spear was on its way.
00:53:13He had him in his sights.
00:53:16He's got him in his sights now.
00:53:18I mean, there's no denying Goldberg's the real deal.
00:53:21I mean, he's everything you got going right now, man.
00:53:24He's a tough cat.
00:53:25Get back inside!
00:53:28Goldberg knees Al Green and sends a hitbox.
00:53:30Whoa!
00:53:31And now we'll roll him in.
00:53:36Goldberg, who early today, as we saw, was a batting package with Big Mac,
00:53:44Mark McGuire, rubbed the bat on the massive chest of Goldberg for good luck.
00:53:49He may break that record within a week.
00:53:51Maybe tonight.
00:53:52You gotta also wonder, too, though, with all this publicity, all the hicka,
00:53:57he's with McGuire today.
00:53:59Well, he's focused.
00:54:01What's this?
00:54:02You may be right.
00:54:03He's focused.
00:54:04He speared it!
00:54:05No doubt about it!
00:54:07There he is!
00:54:08There he is, the man!
00:54:10But may I add, he looked a little focused there.
00:54:12Good call!
00:54:17Speared it!
00:54:18Oh!
00:54:19Good night, Mr. Green!
00:54:20They're standing at the Miami Arena!
00:54:25I'm gonna go out on a limb and say 141 right here.
00:54:28One, two, three!
00:54:32Continuing, the unbeaten mark is Goldberg.
00:54:36And our thanks to Kevin Nash, who prepares for war games.
00:54:40Who will beat Goldberg after the 13th?
00:54:43Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the WCW Monday Night Show main event.
00:55:01Tonight, a tag team that is a dream tag team match.
00:55:07Are you ready?
00:55:09Miami, Florida, are you ready?
00:55:14For the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching around the world.
00:55:33Ladies and gentlemen.
00:55:35Let's get ready to run!
00:55:40NWO.
00:55:42His favorite swerves of pro wrestling
00:55:48will resonate through the sold out Miami Arena.
00:55:51And it's time for a tag team match like we've never seen before.
00:55:57I can't wait to see how these teams are gonna operate as teams.
00:56:04This is gonna be good.
00:56:06Four future Hall of Famers in our main event tag match.
00:56:09How many times have these four held world championships?
00:56:13Championships in anything all over the world.
00:56:15Get out the adding machine.
00:56:17Ladies and gentlemen.
00:56:19Coming to the ring at this time into the company of the disciples.
00:56:25Two superstars of wrestling joining horses to create a spectacular tag team.
00:56:32Personally, wearing black and pink.
00:56:34Wearing 238 1 1â2 pounds.
00:56:37From Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
00:56:39Known to all as the master of the sharp shooter.
00:56:43He is the best there is.
00:56:46The best there ever was.
00:56:48The best there ever will be.
00:56:50He is Brett Pittman Hart!
00:56:56The United States Champion.
00:56:59And his partner.
00:57:01Wearing black and white, weighing 276 pounds.
00:57:05From Hollywood, USA.
00:57:07The most famous and recognizable face in the history of professional wrestling.
00:57:13He is the leader of and the driving force behind the new world order, Hollywood.
00:57:21Ladies and gentlemen, the one, the only, Howard Hogan.
00:57:35What a tandem.
00:57:36What a duo.
00:57:37It never ceases to amaze me how magnificent Hogan looks when he takes his shirt off.
00:57:44Back with the other team after this.
00:57:46NWO.
00:57:49Hogan and Hunter in the ring.
00:57:55And the haunting hell of the Wolfpack.
00:57:58They're here.
00:58:03Maybe you're right, Tony.
00:58:07Maybe this may be the most cohesive team going.
00:58:11I think so.
00:58:12The red and black.
00:58:13I'm gonna have to agree with you, Tony.
00:58:14You're right again.
00:58:15And we're gonna see two-thirds of that unit that's going to be captained by Kevin Nash at the War Games.
00:58:24Don't call him captain.
00:58:25Remember he said that.
00:58:26He said don't call him the leader.
00:58:27Okay, well, wouldn't you think that would be the same?
00:58:29Oh, he was recognized as the captain by James J. Dillon.
00:58:32No, no, no, no, no.
00:58:33Leader starts with an L and the captain starts with a C.
00:58:35Very good.
00:58:36Probably the frame for nothing now, do they?
00:58:37Here they are.
00:58:38And now making their entrance to the ring.
00:58:42Wearing the red and black of the New World Order, Wolfpack.
00:58:48Introducing first.
00:58:50Wearing in at 251 and one half pounds.
00:58:56He is a man of few words who lets his action in the ring to all the talking.
00:59:02The master of the scorpion death lock.
00:59:05Presenting.
00:59:06Steve.
00:59:07And his partner from Chicago, Illinois.
00:59:13Weighing 263 pounds.
00:59:17The epitome of physical conditioning and strength.
00:59:22He is the master of the torture rack.
00:59:25Ladies and gentlemen, the total package is...
00:59:30X Luger!
00:59:32Rain, you talked about how many world titles between all these men,
00:59:35but think about how close Sting and Luger have been through the years.
00:59:40Many people will say, and I think it's really a truism here,
00:59:43the reason that Sting finally went to NWO Wolfpack was recalled Luger first win.
00:59:50Yeah, and Luger talked him about it.
00:59:52Luger talked him into what I bet.
00:59:54And that's a huge factor when you talk about the cohesiveness of the NWO Wolfpack organization.
01:00:00You are seeing history.
01:00:03Look at these two.
01:00:04How many great matches?
01:00:05How many wins?
01:00:06How many big arenas?
01:00:08But that's not a confident look to me they're showing right there.
01:00:11Does that look confident to you?
01:00:13Well, you really never know with them.
01:00:15Nah.
01:00:16This is good.
01:00:17They're masters at it.
01:00:18Well, they know what they're doing.
01:00:20Well, it's the same look, really.
01:00:21I mean, if you think about it, I think it's intimidating to go up against a duo such as Bret Hart and Hollywood Hogan.
01:00:30And then again, it's intimidating to go up against Sting and Luger.
01:00:33Four of the greatest stars ever, and we've got them for you on our feature bout.
01:00:38It's gonna be Bret Hart and Lex Luger, two men that have gone round and round over the past month.
01:00:43When you speak of the US title, very short US title reign for Luger, but still a great one.
01:00:48When he won the US title on Monday in Rapid City, and lost it on Thursday in Fargo, North Dakota.
01:00:55And a guy like Luger to win that title every day of the week.
01:00:58Just give him the opportunity.
01:01:00Just shows you how even Lex Luger, Bret Hart, what a competitive series of matches those two really had.
01:01:07It really was.
01:01:08So we go back and look at our great matches on this program and on Thunder, and it was great.
01:01:13By the way, Thunder is Thursday night on TBS.
01:01:16A quick program note, don't forget that.
01:01:18Look at this, Bret Hart casting a glance and eye towards Sting.
01:01:31We talked about their relationship.
01:01:33We all, none of us buy it.
01:01:35But I brought up the fact a couple of weeks ago, what if he's telling the truth?
01:01:40I can't wait to see Bret Hart and Sting in the ring at the same time to find out if he really is like a brother to him.
01:01:47Sting just kind of pushing the head of Bret Hart, trying to get him away from his partner Luger.
01:01:52Hart relentless though.
01:01:53You know, a lot of brothers never get along.
01:01:56I remember, I had a brother once.
01:01:58You had a brother once.
01:01:59I fired him.
01:02:00Luger for the breaks on that one, back elbow.
01:02:03Bret Hart.
01:02:05And you can see him, you can feel it.
01:02:08Can you ever.
01:02:09As Luger walks the head of Hart back.
01:02:11Stalks the man all the way down.
01:02:13Low bottom turnbuckle.
01:02:14The Wolfpack in command.
01:02:17Hogan may be pointing, but I don't think he wants in.
01:02:23Here we go.
01:02:24Let's see it.
01:02:25The Melendez brothers.
01:02:28Wait a minute, Hogan had his head turned momentarily.
01:02:32Hart walked over to the corner and tagged Hogan in.
01:02:35Does Hogan know he's in?
01:02:37Yeah, he does.
01:02:38He does now.
01:02:39He can't believe it.
01:02:40Bret Hart's not looking at him.
01:02:42That's called a tag, dummy.
01:02:44And Bret Hart won't really have eye contact with Sting either.
01:02:47Hogan puts on that cocky little smile we all know about.
01:02:54That means I'm in control.
01:02:56What that really means is, I gotta watch what's happening here.
01:03:00Hogan really slowing the pace down.
01:03:05That heart had picked up.
01:03:06Had a lot of momentum and a lot of steam.
01:03:08Hogan slows it down.
01:03:09Back they go to the neutral corner.
01:03:10Referee's got Luger in the corner.
01:03:12As you see, and Hogan's knee finds the solar plexus.
01:03:16And now look at those hard right hands.
01:03:18You know, wrestlers will tell you who've been in there against Hogan,
01:03:21he is one of the hardest hitters in our sport.
01:03:24And that not only because of his massive arms, but he knows where to hit you.
01:03:29He knows the pressure points, the pain points.
01:03:31And Sting flying back on the trapezius.
01:03:34Sends Hogan.
01:03:35Crash into the canvas.
01:03:36He goes at it again as Hogan comes back to each feet.
01:03:39Now a karate chop on the head.
01:03:40Sting all the way back to the corner.
01:03:43Nails Hogan and climbs the turnbuckers.
01:03:45And Sting's got the momentum going right now.
01:03:50Sting just relentless in his attack.
01:03:52Goes to the mount position in the corner.
01:03:54Raining down punches.
01:03:55Turns Hogan over to Luger, who connects with a big right hand.
01:03:58Hogan's lost.
01:03:59He's in the wrong neighborhood now.
01:04:01He's got to get back and tag his good buddy, Bret Hart.
01:04:05There's only been one tag between them,
01:04:07and that was a tag that Hart knew was coming, but Hogan did not.
01:04:10On the other end, the wolf tag looking very slow here.
01:04:13Luger back in.
01:04:15It was Luger who won the world title.
01:04:18Off of Hogan on this program last year.
01:04:23You can say whatever you want about Hogan's attitude,
01:04:28and we all know he's a jerk and scum like DDP says,
01:04:31but he's a big man and he's a tough man.
01:04:34He's been in there.
01:04:35He just knows that ring.
01:04:37That's like a second home to him.
01:04:38Down to the bottom.
01:04:45Tell him who the man is.
01:04:47Tell him who the man is.
01:04:49Tell him who the man is.
01:04:53Tell him brother.
01:04:54We know how great he is, but when you have an ego that big,
01:04:59that size, it must be fed all the time.
01:05:01There's a tag.
01:05:02You know, as much as we don't like it, you've got to admit,
01:05:05a lot of people thought this man was just a long mouth, a pushover.
01:05:08He's beaten some of the biggest names in the world.
01:05:10Hogan.
01:05:11Yes, sir.
01:05:12I think when it's all said and done, he'll be recognized as the best of it.
01:05:15I can't hear you.
01:05:16No doubt about it when his career is over.
01:05:18And right next to him, so many of the athletes,
01:05:22including the man you're looking at right there, Bret Hart.
01:05:24Ranking right up there with him.
01:05:26Well, it seems like Hart and Hogan able to get along.
01:05:30Tag was made.
01:05:31Yep.
01:05:32Get your fist off.
01:05:34Get out of that toe.
01:05:35And the trapezius.
01:05:36They are focusing on those massive trapezius,
01:05:39the lats, the muscles along the back, along the shoulder blade.
01:05:43Pulling Luger again.
01:05:48Boy, Bret Hart not only takes you down,
01:05:50he pulls you back up, doesn't he?
01:05:52He is Mr. Offense.
01:05:54Here's a cover.
01:05:55Watch out now.
01:05:56Two, and Luger kicked out, Brain.
01:05:58But guys, this is still individual wrestling if you think about it.
01:06:00If you notice, they've never put Luger in the corner.
01:06:03They've never worked fast tags.
01:06:05They've never been in and out.
01:06:06Luger and Sting have tagged, but Hogan and Bret Hart haven't.
01:06:09They haven't worked the guy over in that corner that much
01:06:11as tag team wrestling works.
01:06:13Well, you may get your wish.
01:06:15Well, there's a good move.
01:06:16Hogan's holding him.
01:06:17Almost like he called for it there, Coach Brain.
01:06:21Now, double teams.
01:06:23Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
01:06:25Need to plug your ringside.
01:06:27And then, look at this, the arms of the Disciple.
01:06:30Helping hand from ringside from the Disciple.
01:06:33No tag, but a switch.
01:06:34Good tag team wrestling.
01:06:36And Luger in trouble as Hogan goes to the sternum.
01:06:42Solar plexus.
01:06:43Again, the point of the boot.
01:06:45Not only knowing how to kick you, but where to kick you.
01:06:48That's it.
01:06:49And as he's raking the face, you can almost, you can see and hear the trash talking from Bret Hart.
01:06:58And Hogan also.
01:07:00Hits you physically and mentally.
01:07:02This duo and a switch again.
01:07:05No tag made.
01:07:07And Hart, is he going?
01:07:11Oh, my.
01:07:12I thought maybe that was the prelude to the Sharpshooter.
01:07:15Could have been a headbutt in the lower abdomen.
01:07:26Hart.
01:07:27Go ahead.
01:07:28I would still be switching in with quicker tags if I was Hogan and Hart.
01:07:32And I'd keep Luger down, because you don't want Luger to get to his feet.
01:07:35We can display all his strength.
01:07:37I think Bret Hart's using another strategy here.
01:07:39He wants Luger to get to his feet to knock him down.
01:07:41Luger, if he gets to his feet under his own accord, expends a lot of energy.
01:07:44It wears him down even more.
01:07:46Very hard to knock down.
01:07:47Key at this point is for Luger to make his way over to the corner if at all possible.
01:07:51The Freshman Sting is waiting to enter the ring.
01:07:55If you're looking at Bret Hart, the U.S. champion here, he says it so many times.
01:07:58He's arrogant.
01:07:59He's boastful.
01:08:00But he believes in his ability.
01:08:02One, two.
01:08:03He's a man who believes that he can beat anyone and basically has in this sport.
01:08:07Well, then you can't knock him for that.
01:08:10Yeah, you can.
01:08:11You can do anything you want, really.
01:08:12I don't know how you can knock his attitude, but he's proven himself.
01:08:15Sure he has.
01:08:16There's no denying that.
01:08:17But he really believes that no one can beat him, and you can just see it.
01:08:22You can just see it in the way he performs, not only in this tag team match, but in singles competition.
01:08:26Luger!
01:08:27Luger!
01:08:28Oh, my goodness, what a comeback that was.
01:08:30Although short-lived, he can't make a cover.
01:08:32But that shows you the strength of Luger.
01:08:34Saw that adrenaline rush on the part of Luger.
01:08:37Able to get Hart up into the air, suplex him over.
01:08:40And Sting wants that tag real bad.
01:08:44Go to the fans.
01:08:45Almost trying to will Luger to go through Hart and get to the corner.
01:08:49Hart stands up and blocks him nicely with an elbow smash on top of the head.
01:08:57Great match, guys.
01:08:58Great match.
01:08:59It really is.
01:09:00Luger, once again, Hart will pick him up to knock him out.
01:09:04But this time Luger goes to the corner and stays on his feet.
01:09:09This is a time in the match that really separates the great champions from everybody else.
01:09:16You got four of them in there.
01:09:19Yes, you do.
01:09:20Now it's Hart's turn to assault while Hogan trash talks on the other side.
01:09:27The mental and physical game that's going on in this matchup.
01:09:30To the rubs.
01:09:31Lex Luger connected both men.
01:09:34Same move, same time.
01:09:35Both hit the back of their head at the same time on the match.
01:09:38They're down.
01:09:40Boy, does Sting want to get in that ring.
01:09:43Sting, Sting, look at him.
01:09:45He's extending his hand across.
01:09:47He's standing on the bottom.
01:09:52There it is.
01:09:53He made it.
01:09:54Here we go.
01:09:55Just as Hogan came in.
01:09:57Hogan.
01:09:58Woo!
01:09:59Trying to slow it down and Sting will have none of it.
01:10:03Rapid fire fists.
01:10:04Feet to the midsection.
01:10:06Sting will smash.
01:10:07Oh!
01:10:08Executed to perfection.
01:10:10Nailed him good.
01:10:11Was going to do it again, but Hogan stepped forward.
01:10:14Sting will now look at the disciple.
01:10:17He's there.
01:10:18He moved him out of the way.
01:10:19Moved him out of the way.
01:10:20And Sting hit the turnbuckle flush.
01:10:24It's all about timing.
01:10:25Wow as it ever.
01:10:26And that third man outside the ring don't hurt either.
01:10:29He's got his belt.
01:10:35Oh, my.
01:10:37My goodness.
01:10:42What in the world?
01:10:47He jerked it away from Hogan who said it ain't with him with it.
01:10:52And Sting said forget about, or Bret Hart said forget about it.
01:10:55He threw it down.
01:10:56Bret Hart saved Sting.
01:10:58Wait a minute.
01:10:59Let's watch this.
01:11:00And he's walking away and Hogan's right behind.
01:11:03What's up with that?
01:11:05What is up with that?
01:11:06What do you got going on in the sky?
01:11:08What am I making you fire?
01:11:09You got something.
01:11:10You got something.
01:11:11You got something going on here.
01:11:12Sting and Luger's gonna win by count out.
01:11:13Sting and Luger's gonna win by count out.
01:11:26Now Bret Hart said something very interesting.
01:11:33He said you gave me your word.
01:11:35What was he talking about?
01:11:37I don't know.
01:11:38The friction is very obvious between Hogan and Bret Hart.
01:11:43I got a problem with you.
01:11:46No way.
01:11:47And it's not over yet.
01:11:52They got a problem here.
01:11:57Gonna cycle in.
01:11:59Trying to, these two men are gonna be on the same team at WarGames.
01:12:05And there's more than a problem here.
01:12:09You're right.
01:12:10You're right.
01:12:11You're right.
01:12:12You're right.
01:12:13You're right.
01:12:14You're right.
01:12:15You're right.
01:12:16You're right.
01:12:17You're right.
01:12:18Uh-oh, other members are in.
01:12:20Bryan Adams.
01:12:22Let's do it right now.
01:12:23Let's do it right now.
01:12:24Norton's in.
01:12:25Yeah.
01:12:26We play by NWO rules.
01:12:28You keep your nose out of NWO rules.
01:12:31You abide by the rules.
01:12:33You're gonna die by the rules.
01:12:34All right, guys.
01:12:35Come over here.
01:12:37Come over here.
01:12:38Come over here.
01:12:39Come over here.
01:12:40Come over here.
01:12:41Yeah.
01:12:42Let me tell you something.
01:12:43In the midst of the turmoil.
01:12:45Uh-oh.
01:12:46The ring.
01:12:49Don't go any place.
01:12:51Don't leave that set.
01:12:53The ring is filling up.
01:12:57And the Warriors appeared again.
01:12:59From where?
01:13:04They're all laid out.
01:13:05There's bodies everywhere.
01:13:07There.
01:13:08Every member of the NWO black and white is face down.
01:13:11Hogan's hiding.
01:13:15Smell the fear?
01:13:18Hogan!
01:13:19You can get up!
01:13:20We can smell your fear!
01:13:23And you can see it.
01:13:34He wants no part of the Warrior.
01:13:36Feet, don't fail me now.
01:13:40And fans, we're out of time.
01:13:42See you Thursday night, live on Thunder.
01:13:45How about that?
