00:00:00Ladies and gentlemen, Nitro is on the air.
00:00:03And I don't know what's going on here.
00:00:06Camera was dispatched to the back area months ago.
00:00:10What do you mean he's invincible?
00:00:12He's gonna pay for that.
00:00:13How the hell can he slip through the cracks?
00:00:16Let's go, let's fight Dylan.
00:00:17You know what?
00:00:18Get out of the way.
00:00:19He's in the building, get out of my face.
00:00:21All right, you can clearly see that was Hollywood Hogan's personal locker room.
00:00:26And it appeared the Warrior had already been there, Mike, today.
00:00:29Looks like the leader of the OWN, the One Warrior Nation, has struck.
00:00:34And of all things, was that Hollywood Hogan's locker room?
00:00:37That apparently was, and I know that camera was an unwelcome sight to Hollywood.
00:00:42But there's some pain going on.
00:00:45What are you talking about?
00:00:46It's in front of us to yourselves.
00:00:49What's this about?
00:00:50What do you mean?
00:00:56How the hell could this happen?
00:00:58Who was in the ambulance?
00:00:59Adamson Norton, who was it?
00:01:00I don't know that laid out in the ambulance, man, laid out.
00:01:03Yeah, I know who it was.
00:01:04I'm always giant.
00:01:07Obviously, a member of NWO Hollywood has been laid out and
00:01:10taken away in an ambulance, and things are falling apart rapidly.
00:01:15Hey, Hogan's gone bizarre.
00:01:16He just pushed a giant out of the way, bursted past him, and here he comes.
00:01:21Wow, what a way to open Labor Day 1998, here on WCW Monday Nitro, with an unexpected turn of events.
00:01:29That the Warrior had somehow broken into Hollywood Hogan's locker room, as they were coming out,
00:01:38preparing for an interview.
00:01:39And in this war of the mind games, it's obvious that the Warrior is one step ahead of Hollywood Hogan and the NWO black and white.
00:01:58And how about it, going in now to War Games, Fall Brawl, six days away, that the Revolution has taken this turn,
00:02:12and right now the black and white are falling apart.
00:02:16You can see, look at their faces, look at their demeanor.
00:02:19Where are you, Warrior?
00:02:22You gutless piece of garbage.
00:02:27Warrior, Warrior, come out wherever you are.
00:02:31You know, we know you're not under the damn ring.
00:02:36And who do you think you are sneaking into my dressing room,
00:02:41leaving your stains on my wall?
00:02:43Who do you think you are attacking Norton and happens from behind, brother?
00:02:49Well, you know something?
00:02:51I'm just as sick of you, Warrior, as I am that Bret Hart.
00:02:56Bret, you're off the team the Giants are.
00:02:59Oh, my goodness.
00:03:00Warrior, who do you think you are after eight years walking into this business?
00:03:08Who do you think you are thinking you're going to put your hands on the man?
00:03:13The man that is the god of wrestling.
00:03:16The man that everybody here worships.
00:03:20Warrior, you can't beat the whole NWO.
00:03:27And to get to me, you're going to have to prove yourself to me.
00:03:31There's no way you can get through this man.
00:03:35After everything we've been through, he would die for me.
00:03:39And even if you could, there's no way you can get through the Giant, brother.
00:03:45Warrior, when I find you, brother, I'm going to stick the Giant.
00:03:52I'm going to stick the Disciple.
00:03:53I'm going to stick the NWO on you, brother.
00:03:56And there will be nothing left, because Hollywood is the man.
00:04:01Where are you at, Warrior?
00:04:05I've never seen Hollywood hogan like this, ever.
00:04:11Where is he?
00:04:12Well, I can tell you where he is.
00:04:14He is everywhere.
00:04:15And it was apparently Scott Norton and Bryan Adams who were pounded, beaten,
00:04:19and taken away in an ambulance, and we saw scurrying away just moments ago, guys.
00:04:24Well, that's the comment Hogan made.
00:04:27They can look all over the place.
00:04:28I don't think they're going to find the Warrior anywhere but in their dreams.
00:04:32For right now.
00:04:34Or maybe in their nightmares.
00:04:36What a way to begin Monday Nitro Live.
00:04:45Welcome back as Nitro is off and running in the panhandle.
00:05:15And ladies and gentlemen, amongst other things, as we said earlier,
00:05:20it is Labor Day 1998, but it's also Happy Birthday Monday Nitro.
00:05:26This is our third birthday.
00:05:28And thus begins our fourth year of bringing you the very best in professional wrestling
00:05:34live each and every Monday night.
00:05:37Tony Schiavone, the one, the only, living legendary Tabisco,
00:05:41and the Professor Mike Tanay to begin things this week.
00:05:45And I tell you guys, as we celebrate the birthday of Nitro,
00:05:49and what a ride it's been for all of us,
00:05:52Hollywood Hogan and N.W. Hollywood,
00:05:55they're not in a celebration-type mood, are they?
00:05:58Wow, what a blockbuster announcement to kick off Nitro.
00:06:02Hollywood Hogan, what was that, claiming that Bret Hart is now out of the War Games,
00:06:07off Team Hollywood?
00:06:09All I know is the New World Order has been riding roughshod for the last two years.
00:06:15This is our third year birthday anniversary.
00:06:17Yes.
00:06:18Third year is the charm, brother.
00:06:20Our third year birthday, and we're very proud to be bringing you tonight's program.
00:06:24And as you know, by watching the Thunder this past Thursday,
00:06:28WCW Saturday night this past weekend,
00:06:31as Coman makes his way out of the World Pack in the opening bout,
00:06:35as you know, we're gonna have played a feature bout here tonight in a steel cage.
00:06:42Dean Malenko and S4, and Dean Malenko's gonna get it.
00:06:45Malenko and Kurt Hennig in a steel cage match here tonight.
00:06:49Well, the WCW Executive Committee, they had to step in.
00:06:53They made this match official.
00:06:55Dean Malenko against Kurt Hennig on several occasions.
00:06:58Dean Malenko has had Kurt Hennig beaten just where he wants him.
00:07:02Texas Cloverleaf hooked on in the middle of the ring.
00:07:04There's been outside interference from members of NWO black and white as a result.
00:07:09Malenko and Henning in the cage tonight.
00:07:12Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, let me speak on this.
00:07:13Orale!
00:07:14Orale!
00:07:15Orale!
00:07:17Arriba la raza!
00:07:19Arriba la raza!
00:07:22You know, the black and white be talking about that for life,
00:07:25but everybody knows that the Wolf Pack somos unos vatos locos forever.
00:07:31But, uh, more importantly than all that, Pensacola, Arcapo, the capital B-I-2-G's,
00:07:42S-E-Triple-X-Y, Big Kevin Nash.
00:07:45Lex the Flex mackin' with his Rolex and his Lexus with a back as wide in the state of Texas.
00:07:56My boy Sting and the Macho Men.
00:07:58We bowdy bowdy at!
00:08:00Bowdy bowdy!
00:08:02Now, Conan McGintain getting the crowd whipped into a fever pitch.
00:08:10The bell sounds, and here we go.
00:08:12It's Conan and Bull Payne in our opening bout here on Monday.
00:08:15Nitro and Bull Payne, very powerful man that we've been seeing a lot of the past couple of weeks.
00:08:20But Conan has the fan support behind him, and of course, and then he'll toss a member of the Wolf Pack.
00:08:25No question about that fan support.
00:08:27I guess we can add Pensacola, Florida, to that list of cities nationwide that has adopted the NWO red and black attack.
00:08:35Conan in the midsection, that's in Bull Payne in.
00:08:39Hey, oh, he nailed Payne!
00:08:41You're talking about anniversaries and all, I believe it was about a year ago,
00:08:45and this very building, the tradition itself was insulted at the hands of the New World Order.
00:08:52Well, Larry, you're talking about something we discussed earlier in the day.
00:08:55We all, as announcers and pro-NWO, pro-WCW announcers, get a real eerie feeling being here in Pensacola,
00:09:03because here it was, the NWO did their famous parody on the Horsemen and Arn Anderson,
00:09:08and of course, about a week later, the Horsemen at War Games dismantled.
00:09:13And a key figure, oh, that was Kurt Hennig, who will be in the cage match later on tonight.
00:09:18Certainly was a very uneasy feeling coming into this arena here at the Civic Center in Pensacola,
00:09:23where a legend, where the cornerstone, the enforcer of the Horsemen,
00:09:26suffered his most embarrassing and most humiliating moment
00:09:29as he was forced to witness that sickening parody from the NWO.
00:09:34Tradition will win out in the end.
00:09:36All the generations of today strive to be tradition.
00:09:40McGuire hit 61 today.
00:09:42He's gonna try to outdo what tradition set forward years ago.
00:09:46When you slap tradition in the face, it will catch up with you.
00:09:49In fact, McGuire only hit 61 because he rubbed his bat on Goldberg.
00:09:53We saw that last week and right here on this program. Congratulations to Big Mac for number 61 tying Roger Marich.
00:10:01But right now, Bo Payne up on top!
00:10:03He's got Conan!
00:10:04How about that? He could have a win! One, two, but Conan kicked away.
00:10:08A lot left in Conan we've come to know.
00:10:12And a warning here from the referee Charles Robinson and Conan down on the mat as Bo Payne shows a little bit of an attitude towards the referee.
00:10:24Feeling pretty good and walking the ropes as well. Look at this!
00:10:27It'll take too long. I mean, Conan, no pack or not, this man is a tough wrestler. Good on the mat, good in the air.
00:10:34And not somebody to give a break to. Payne might find out the hard way.
00:10:39This opening bout of three solid hours of wrestling action live here tonight.
00:10:44A Nitro back kick, Conan!
00:10:46In the center of the ring!
00:10:49That could be the setup and it looks like it is for the Tequila Sunrise!
00:10:54The submission hold!
00:10:55And he's got it on!
00:10:56Referee checks!
00:10:57This one's over!
00:11:07Wow, what a way to open up Nitro here in Pensacola!
00:11:10The submission victory for K-Dog as Conan hooked the Tequila Sunrise on full Payne who tapped out immediately.
00:11:20The fans are enjoying it. Every fan on his feet here in Pensacola, Florida, living legend.
00:11:26I tell you, they're ready for Nitro. Of course, cage match tonight. That is a brutal offense.
00:11:33We talked about the tradition. Kurt Henning stabbed in the back. Maybe he'll have his chance tonight. We'll see what it feels like.
00:11:39Take a look around here. Conan! Agile man! Caught Bill Payne right underneath the chin.
00:11:45And again, we talked about how Conan stood on the mat and once he got Bill Payne down where he wanted him.
00:11:51Didn't take Conan long to have Mr. Payne start tapping.
00:11:56Watch as he circles around. Puts the weight on his shoulder.
00:11:59Bringing back that ankle. That's Payne Central.
00:12:02The winner of the match, Conan of the Wolfpack, here on WCW Monday.
00:12:08Nitro already beginning things in a very, very bizarre way, especially if you're a member of NWO Hollywood.
00:12:18Fans, good to have you with us here. And I tell you, we didn't expect to start the way we started.
00:12:22But there's apparent here that the Warrior is everywhere, Mike Tenet.
00:12:27The Warrior apparently got into Hollywood Hogan's locker room.
00:12:30He got rid of Scott Norton. He got rid of Bryan Adams.
00:12:33And it looks like he's starting to slowly erode away members of the black and the white to me.
00:12:38Well, Tony, one thing that we know for certain, and that is that if the Warrior is as effective at the War Games as he is with Mind Games playing with Hollywood Hogan in the NWO,
00:12:48Team WCW is going to be just fine upcoming this Sunday at Fall Brawl.
00:12:53And fans, coming up this Sunday at Fall Brawl, Hollywood Hogan, you go ahead and we'll talk.
00:12:57Hollywood Hogan is still the leader of NWO Hollywood, and he has removed Bret the Hitman at heart.
00:13:02So if you take Scott Norton, you take Bryan Adams out by virtue of the Warrior, and you take Bret the Hitman hard out, it seems to me the troops are slimming down or thinning out.
00:13:12Piece by piece, it seems that the NWO black and white is being decimated, Tony.
00:13:17Well, fans, as we said later on tonight in this telecast, live here from Pensacola, we'll have the gigantic cage match.
00:13:23Yes, we will, between Kurt Hennig of NWO Hollywood and Dean Malenko, the Iceman.
00:13:30But we're gonna take you back to last week on this program when Hollywood Hogan announced that Bret Hart would be a member of the team, and then it all broke down for the two men.
00:13:39My other partner, when you talk about from the turn of history all the way to the end of the 90s, into the new millennium, was, is and will be Bret Hart will be the other man at my side.
00:13:55I say to you, Bret, tonight, tonight, stand on your own two feet like a man. Your name is Hart, put some Hart there.
00:14:04He's got his belt. Oh, my.
00:14:13My goodness.
00:14:16Mm.
00:14:17Yeah! Yeah!
00:14:19What in the world?
00:14:21Yeah!
00:14:22He jerked it away from Hogan, who said ain't with him with it, and Sting said forget about it, or Bret Hart said forget about it.
00:14:27He threw it down.
00:14:29Bret Hart saved Sting.
00:14:30Wait a minute, let's watch this.
00:14:31From the beating with the belt.
00:14:32Let's watch this.
00:14:33Let's watch this.
00:14:34And he's walking away, and Hogan's right behind.
00:14:36What's up with that?
00:14:37What is up with that?
00:14:38What do you got going in the sky?
00:14:39What am I going in the sky?
00:14:40What am I going in the sky?
00:14:41You got something.
00:14:42You got something.
00:14:43You got something.
00:14:44You got something going in the sky.
00:14:45Come on.
00:15:01Don't go anyplace.
00:15:03Don't leave that set.
00:15:04The ring is filling up.
00:15:06And the Warriors appeared again!
00:15:09From where?
00:15:14They're all laid out!
00:15:15There's bodies everywhere!
00:15:17Every member of the NWL Black and White is face down!
00:15:21Hogan's hiding!
00:15:23You smell the fear?
00:15:26Hogan! You can get up!
00:15:30We can smell your fear!
00:15:36And you can see it!
00:15:44He wants no part of the Warrior!
00:15:52All right, I'm back with the Chairman of the Executive Committee,
00:15:54Mr. J.J. Dillon, here tonight on Nitro.
00:15:57I need a clarification from you, J.J.,
00:16:00on the comments that were made earlier by Hollywood Hogan.
00:16:04I don't know if he's trying to play some kind of a shell game,
00:16:06but all of a sudden Bret Hart is out and the Giant is in!
00:16:10Well, I was there when the contract was signed.
00:16:13Hulk Hogan signed it himself and had a big smirk on his face,
00:16:16as did Eric Bischoff, who was there.
00:16:19They made comments about they were a unified team like none other,
00:16:23and that was going to assure Hollywood Hogan a victory in the shot at Goldberg.
00:16:28Now they seem to have some kind of a problem,
00:16:30but they're not going to solve it by replacing Bret Hart,
00:16:33because the contract they signed is legal and binding.
00:16:37Neither Hollywood Hogan or Eric Bischoff has the power to remove one of the team members
00:16:42and replace them with someone else.
00:16:44So I don't know what the Giant's going to be doing for War Games,
00:16:47but he won't be in that match.
00:16:49Bret Hart will, and if they've got a problem among themselves,
00:16:53they're going to have to sort it out among themselves.
00:16:55All right, the clarification from J.J. Dillon here on Nitro.
00:16:59Bret Hart now in, and the Giant will not be part of Team Hollywood
00:17:03at Fall Ball of the War Games this Sunday night.
00:17:06Tony, back to you, my friend.
00:17:08Thanks a lot, Gene, for clarifying that,
00:17:10and you know there's going to be a lot of legal maneuvering,
00:17:13a lot of arguments going down because of that ruling from James J. Dillon.
00:17:18The Nitro girls are here.
00:17:20It's great to have you with us as well.
00:17:22Fans, we talked about the big cage match tonight, as you know.
00:17:26Kurt Hennig and Dean Malenko in the steel cage.
00:17:28Also, world champion Goldberg will put his title on the line.
00:17:32Later on here tonight as well.
00:17:34We'll see him in one of our feature bats, plus a whole lot more.
00:17:38Hello, Nitro girls.
00:17:40They are drop-dead gorgeous.
00:17:41We'll be back more, live from Pensacola after this.
00:17:49All right, ladies and gentlemen, a packed house here in Pensacola tonight.
00:17:53Coast to coast, a happy Labor Day throughout America.
00:17:58Fake news coming up this Sunday on Pay Per View.
00:18:01As you know, fall broad of the war games.
00:18:04Three teams of three.
00:18:05And one of the captains, my guest at this time.
00:18:08Very interesting scenario.
00:18:10Get ready.
00:18:11Diamond Cutter and company.
00:18:14Diamond Dallas Page.
00:18:17Now Gene is right, three teams, a little bit of different format, but still the two rings, double cage.
00:18:25And still, in only six days, the most dangerous night in pro wrestling, bar none.
00:18:32All it's done is taken the most dangerous match in professional wrestling history to another level.
00:18:40Then when you factor in that the winner of fall brawl in the war games will go on to Halloween Havoc to get a world's heavyweight title shot at the undefeated Goldberg.
00:18:50This is gonna be a war games like never ever before.
00:18:53War games takes no prisoners.
00:18:56There will only be one survivor.
00:18:59Thanks for adding something to our telecast, Larry.
00:19:02Well, that's what I think of Dusty Rhodes and his stupid gag order from Texas.
00:19:08I'm jumping off this thing anytime I want to.
00:19:11Okay.
00:19:12All right, Tony, gentlemen, as you know, some questions have to be answered.
00:19:17The winner, the one man that stands this coming Sunday night in the war games is going to be getting a shot at Goldberg and the WCW heavyweight title.
00:19:26But the big question I hear throughout the land right now, Diamond Dallas Page, the compelling question of the moment.
00:19:32Are you going to be part of the NWO black and red?
00:19:37Let me ask you something when somebody tells you what to do.
00:19:52How do you feel about that?
00:19:54Well, I kind of feel that's like an ultimatum.
00:19:57I don't particularly I'd sooner have them asked.
00:20:00Bottom line is let's rewind zip.
00:20:04Two years ago, Nash, you, Scott Hall, and Hollywood scum formed a little group called the Black and White Express, the NWO.
00:20:20You ran roughshod over everybody, anybody you got in your way.
00:20:24Bottom line is along the way, you asked me if I wanted to hop on board.
00:20:30Kind of an afterthought.
00:20:33I gave you my answer back then and to Scott Hall.
00:20:38It wasn't a no.
00:20:39It sure wasn't a yes.
00:20:41It was a little sign language.
00:20:44Now, let's zip forward.
00:20:48Zip.
00:20:49Pensacola, Florida.
00:20:52Labor Day.
00:20:59Now, Gino, we got two NWOs.
00:21:03I guess all that ego in one NWO had to break apart like an atom.
00:21:10And now, Nash, you want me to be part of your NWO.
00:21:20You know, Gino, I remember exactly how he asked me.
00:21:24He leaned up here and he said, Diamond Dallas Page, you got one week to give us an answer.
00:21:31That is an out-and-out threat.
00:21:36It sure didn't sound like he asked me, huh?
00:21:39A little bit like he was threatening me.
00:21:42Well, Nash, I sure as hell don't like to be told what to do, and I will not be threatened.
00:21:50The bottom line is, big boy, I still don't trust you.
00:21:55With everything that's happened with Goldberg, with everything that's happened...
00:22:05We have opened up a can of, well, NWO black and red.
00:22:12We got company is what we got.
00:22:14I was hoping that this would not come to a confrontation, but we may as well sort it out here tonight.
00:22:19He's gonna go, he's gonna go.
00:22:25All right.
00:22:29He's got his own microphone, Tony.
00:22:31Larry, Mike.
00:22:34I would stay clear of that, Gene.
00:22:36I know you're charged with being in there and conducting this, but you may want to stay clear of it.
00:22:44First off, I'd like to thank you for the history lesson.
00:22:47You're welcome.
00:22:53It's real simple.
00:22:55You've been asked part of the elitist group in professional wrestling history.
00:23:04Whatever.
00:23:05Next Sunday, it's War Games.
00:23:11And it's real simple, Paige.
00:23:15If you're not in my foxhole, if you're not with the Wolf Pack, buddy, you're in our sights.
00:23:22And I don't know where the hell you get off saying you can't trust me.
00:23:35History.
00:23:36History lesson.
00:23:37And I don't see how Lex or Sting can trust you either.
00:23:44Wow.
00:23:45Pretty strong statement.
00:23:46You're not kidding.
00:23:47Very strong as a matter of fact.
00:23:52Oh, my goodness.
00:23:53Look at this.
00:23:54We are already getting things heated up.
00:23:55All of a sudden, Lex Lue will sting.
00:23:56Numbers are going to change here, DDP.
00:23:57Whatever.
00:23:58There's no fear in the eyes of DDP.
00:24:00I think we've seen that.
00:24:16But you're right, Gene.
00:24:17The numbers.
00:24:20He's outnumbered here.
00:24:21Look at this.
00:24:23Kev, I know you're a little frustrated right now,
00:24:32but I think I can square this thing away.
00:24:35Real simple.
00:24:37Now, Dallas, you say we gave an ultimatum, you should be flattered.
00:24:43I'm the one who came out here a couple months ago, hello, and
00:24:49said, Diamond Dallas Page, one of the biggest superstars in wrestling,
00:24:54gave your endorsement sign, the bang, everything, and
00:24:59asked you to become a part of our group.
00:25:03When Kevin Nass asked me to become a part of his group,
00:25:07my WCW ties were as strong as anyone's, and I came on board.
00:25:11When we asked Sting to come on board, he came on board.
00:25:19So while you were out, while you were out,
00:25:24Karl Malone in it, and Jay Lennon in it on The Tonight Show,
00:25:29we waited and didn't hear anything, no answer, no response.
00:25:33So we got together like the pack always does,
00:25:35because we always operate as one, as one human.
00:25:38We said, hey, we never got an answer.
00:25:42So all we're asking, plain and simple, yes or no,
00:25:45are you a part of the pack or not, so we know where you stand on Sunday.
00:25:50Same question I asked you at the beginning of this interview, Diamond Dallas Page.
00:25:54Very same question.
00:26:01Let me ask you a question, Lex.
00:26:04You know what the War Games is all about this year.
00:26:07Are you trying to tell me, I'm begging you, I'm begging you,
00:26:12are you trying to tell me that you don't think Nash would powerbomb Jackknife,
00:26:17you or you in a heartbeat?
00:26:29And proceed question.
00:26:30Let me just clear that one little thing up right now.
00:26:42Big Sexy has already powerbombed me once already, probably twice.
00:26:51I've been there.
00:26:53So there's no problem there.
00:26:55Lots of trust here, lots of trust here.
00:26:58K-Dogs on the same page as we are.
00:27:01Now, I never had a problem with you.
00:27:04When I think about all the times I bailed you out, Paige,
00:27:08looks like there's only one way we're going to make this whole thing work out, okay?
00:27:14Instead of waiting until Sunday, and by the way, remember, Wolf Pack rules.
00:27:19Let's not wait until Sunday.
00:27:21You go get Piper, and one, two of us will take you on tonight on Monday Nitro.
00:27:30Whoa, my goodness.
00:27:31What about that proposition?
00:27:35You want an answer?
00:27:38You got it.
00:27:39I'll get Piper, and we'll do it right here tonight.
00:27:44Ladies and gentlemen, all right, apparently that's the way it is.
00:27:57Remember, this is Wolf Pack rules.
00:27:59Any one of the four men, any two, to meet Diamond Dallas Page.
00:28:03Hey, Nash, why don't you show up as part of that twosome?
00:28:08And you, big boy, you are getting banged!
00:28:14What more can I say?
00:28:15It's Nitro, it's Explosive, it's TNT, and it's Monday night,
00:28:19and we're going to be right back.
00:28:21Wow.
00:28:29All right, folks, we're just a week away from Fall Brawl of the War Games,
00:28:32available exclusively on Pay Per View.
00:28:34Some things, even though tonight, are up in the air.
00:28:37And maybe I can get a clarification.
00:28:40The man's name came up in conversation.
00:28:43He is the icon.
00:28:45Please welcome Roddy, Roddy Piper.
00:28:56That slow walk of his, deliberately, with purpose,
00:29:00making his way to the ring, and what a match, huh?
00:29:03I tell you, not only do we have the icon coming out,
00:29:06but he's also the interim commissioner,
00:29:08immune to the power of Bischoff's pen.
00:29:11And we know one thing, Diamond Dallas Page is not one to back down from a challenge.
00:29:17We've already seen that tonight, and if history tells us anything,
00:29:21it's probably the same story with this man, Rowdy Roddy Piper.
00:29:24Piper invented not backing down from a challenge.
00:29:27I think if you put Piper and Page and Warrior on the same team,
00:29:32you have one of the most sensational teams ever that will represent WCW coming up in a mere six days.
00:29:39All right, Gene.
00:29:42Tony, Mike Larry, thank you very much, gentlemen.
00:29:46I want to get something clear.
00:29:47We've got to clear the air here tonight.
00:29:50We know your involvement coming up in war games with the WCW team, but Rowdy Roddy Piper, what about tonight?
00:29:56Does Diamond Dallas Page speak for you?
00:30:00Let's get something clear right now.
00:30:03Diamond Dallas Page, I ain't your lapdog.
00:30:07I ain't your midget.
00:30:09I ain't your wife.
00:30:10I ain't nothing.
00:30:11Nobody orders me to do nothing.
00:30:13You say you don't like ultimatums, and the first thing you do is put me in a match tonight with an ultimatum.
00:30:21Hang on.
00:30:22I'm going to fill you people in on the truth of these war games.
00:30:27These war games is the Armageddon of the WCW.
00:30:32These war games, don't, am I the only guy that gets it?
00:30:36There's no teams here.
00:30:38There's no teams.
00:30:40You got two rings, a cage, nine guys, last guy standing is the winner.
00:30:48Is that correct?
00:30:49That's absolutely correct.
00:30:50I think personal agendas are starting to come out.
00:30:52Hang on.
00:30:53If Diamond Dallas Page and I are the last two guys standing, Diamond, are you going to walk out and give me the match?
00:31:04No, I don't think so.
00:31:06What you're going to do is you're going to try to sneak up behind me and put that diamond cutter on me.
00:31:12And I'll tell you something, diamonds are for women, and real men wear kilts.
00:31:17And this is war.
00:31:23The NWO, red, black, all the rest of that, they're talking like they're a team.
00:31:29There's only going to be one winner.
00:31:31What, as the bus ran into you guys too many times?
00:31:35You know what it is?
00:31:37Eric Bischoff, the Bill Clinton of the wrestling world, is talking and conniving.
00:31:43That's what's going on.
00:31:45So I'm going to settle it this way.
00:31:48I am not on anybody's team in war games.
00:31:52I'm on my team.
00:31:53My colors are black and blue like they always have been.
00:31:59Now, if you want to tag up, I gave you my word.
00:32:03One time, I'll tag with you.
00:32:05And that's tonight.
00:32:07All right.
00:32:07And we'll see how it flies.
00:32:10But when we get to war games, that's the front line.
00:32:15And I'm on my own.
00:32:16And so is everybody else.
00:32:19And I'll tell you something.
00:32:20Nobody's going to be looking for Private Ryan.
00:32:24All right.
00:32:25I think we have cut through just about everything that has been said about teams over the past few weeks.
00:32:30As a matter of fact, when it comes right down to it,
00:32:33fall ball to the war games could indeed be every man for himself.
00:32:38Very well stated, Roddy Piper.
00:32:40Tony Schiavone, back to you.
00:32:42Gene, I agree with that.
00:32:43And it was well stated by Roddy Piper.
00:32:44Now a very special look at the ladies who are the most gorgeous ladies in cable TV.
00:32:50Right, ladies of this go?
00:32:51Classy group of talented little ladies.
00:32:53The Nitro Girls.
00:32:54The Nitro Girls.
00:32:54You're wrapped again.
00:33:02You're wrapped again.
00:33:03I got something for your mind, your body, and your soul.
00:33:15You're wrapped again.
00:33:16Move your feet.
00:33:18You're wrapped again.
00:33:22Move your feet.
00:33:28You're wrapped again.
00:33:33The gorgeous Nitro Girls and a special look at those lovely ladies who join us each and every week here on Monday Nitro.
00:33:39You know, I think fire could melt the North Pole.
00:33:42I bet she could.
00:33:44Thank you very much for that, Libby Legend.
00:33:45Here we go now.
00:33:46It's an observation.
00:33:47I sure was.
00:33:48Back with the wrestling action.
00:33:50Lenny Lane makes his way out here to the ring.
00:33:52By the way, speaking of the Nitro Girls, for our fans in Chicago, tickets go on sale for Monday Nitro returning to the United Center on Monday, October 12th.
00:34:01And Chris Jericho, many of the Nitro Girls will be there to sign autographs when tickets go on sale this Friday at the box office.
00:34:08And Ticketmaster, they're going to be at Dominic's at 3300 Belmont Friday at 11 a.m. to noon when tickets go on sale at the Ticketmaster location right there.
00:34:17We'll be talking about how you get tickets in Albuquerque, Columbia, South Carolina, Milwaukee, Phoenix, Boston, in Las Vegas, in Lexington, Kentucky, and many other locales during the course of this program.
00:34:30Well, as Lenny Lane made his way out, his opponent here, guys, a man we've been very impressed with, big, strong, and an attitude to boot, and that's Raff.
00:34:38Well, ever since his return to World Championship Wrestling just a couple of weeks ago, Raff, 6'8", well over 300 pounds, has totally dominated the opposition that's been put in front of him.
00:34:52Raff makes his way to the ring against Lenny Lane, and what about the comments from Roddy Piper?
00:34:57I really think Piper put all this in perspective.
00:35:00He's exactly right, there are no teams.
00:35:02Well, he is exactly right, reiterating what I said earlier, there is no winner, no teams.
00:35:06If there is a survivor, and like he pointed out, if him and Diamond Dallas are left standing, is somebody going to just give up a shot at Goldberg?
00:35:15It's not going to happen.
00:35:16There's going to be one survivor, period.
00:35:19Piper really put it best.
00:35:21He said, am I the only guy around here that really gets it?
00:35:24It's teams in name only at the War Games, everyone on their own, everyone for themselves,
00:35:30because plain and simple, there's a World's Heavyweight title shot on the line.
00:35:33The one man who wins, who prevails at War Games, this coming Sunday, goes on to face Goldberg for the World title,
00:35:41and Raff is just out manning here.
00:35:44Lenny Lane, I mean size advantage, power advantage, and also Andre-ness advantage as well here.
00:35:50He cuts him again, and sends him down to the mat once again.
00:35:54Throwing Lenny Lane around like a piece of paper here.
00:35:57You can see the size difference, but Raff is balanced.
00:36:00He knows where to lay those knees in, right in the gut of Lenny Lane.
00:36:05He doesn't even have a gut.
00:36:06Just having his own way with Lenny Lane.
00:36:09What a massive deal that was from one side to the other.
00:36:16Raff is looking awesome.
00:36:18There's no question, Mickey J, the referee.
00:36:20Well, fans, we know about the cage match.
00:36:22We talked about that.
00:36:24As Dean Malenko will face Kurt Hennig of NW Hollywood.
00:36:28That cage match still to come.
00:36:30Goldberg will be here defending the World title.
00:36:33In addition, as we said and as we've seen, it will be Diamond Dallas.
00:36:38And Rowdy Roddy Piper gets two members of the World Pack.
00:36:41As Raff, with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, puts him down, and then a chokehold to boot.
00:36:47But also, this tag match featuring Paige and Piper against members of the World Pack,
00:36:52I guess is much anything to, is it to settle the score about DDP and his allegiance, or what?
00:36:58Well, I'm not sure, but I know that there was a special challenge or special invitation
00:37:01from DDP to Kevin Nash that he be at least one of the members of Team Wolf Pack tonight
00:37:06in that big tag team matchup.
00:37:08Letty Lane hung on too long, couldn't get Rath over.
00:37:14Rath just tossed him.
00:37:15He's just throwing this guy around like a piece of paper.
00:37:18He's red hot is what he is.
00:37:19He's just too much man for him.
00:37:21And he drives through Letty Lane with a big shoulder explosion out of the corner.
00:37:26And look at the intensity in the face.
00:37:28Now, that demeanor looking right into our cameras is meant to intimidate.
00:37:32And as we know, not many people in this sport intimidate.
00:37:35But that does not stop him.
00:37:36Rath hooks him.
00:37:37That's the pump handle.
00:37:38That's the first step in a move that he uses called the meltdown.
00:37:45I don't even think Lenny Lane knows he's in a meltdown.
00:37:48He's going to and about.
00:37:49Goodness, what a move.
00:37:51Right now.
00:37:52Rath putting down and out with the meltdown.
00:37:55And again, his win streak continues.
00:37:58Big, powerful, intimidating, and knows it.
00:38:02And he's not finished with Lenny Lane yet.
00:38:07All right.
00:38:08I've been told to repeatedly it's time for a Castro torture test of the week.
00:38:14Castro stands up the most tortuous conditions players in this store.
00:38:18But that Castro maybe can, but Lenny Lane couldn't do it.
00:38:23Too torturous by Rath.
00:38:24I'm looking right here.
00:38:26Lenny Lane melted down right in the middle of the ring.
00:38:30There is your winner, Rath.
00:38:32And wait, hold a second.
00:38:33I've been, sit here.
00:38:35Our camera's in the back again.
00:38:36You're hanging upside down.
00:38:37God, what's going on?
00:38:38Look at this.
00:38:39Who's on?
00:38:39Let him down.
00:38:40Get him down.
00:38:41Get him down.
00:38:41Get him down.
00:38:42Get him down.
00:38:42Get him down.
00:38:43Get him down.
00:38:43He's hanging upside down.
00:38:44Get him down.
00:38:44He's out.
00:38:45Get a doctor.
00:38:45Get a doctor.
00:38:46Come on, man, Vince.
00:38:47It's a disciple, isn't it?
00:38:48Disciple.
00:38:48All right, bro, cut him down.
00:38:50Look at, Vince, stay right with us.
00:38:52Warrior!
00:38:53Shocking, startling developments continue here on Nitro.
00:38:59The Disciple obviously looked like out cold and hung upside down.
00:39:06And while we don't have any proof other than what we read on the wall,
00:39:09it looks like the Warrior has struck once again.
00:39:11This revolution is for real, Larry Zbysko.
00:39:14It's serious.
00:39:15Yeah, and it has already started against Team Hollywood
00:39:20in the Black and the White New World Order.
00:39:23Well, now here comes Bret Hart.
00:39:26Let's see what he's got.
00:39:27I don't know what's going on, but you know what?
00:39:29There's one person more confused than me, and that's Hollywood Hogan.
00:39:33Hogan said at the top of the program, and that's based on the big argument
00:39:37they had last week that caused a count-out for their team,
00:39:40that Bret the Hitman Hart was off the War Games team,
00:39:44but James J. Dillon said, no, he's in.
00:39:47JJ made the final verdict on that.
00:39:50Bret Hart has made his way to the ring.
00:39:58Here on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:40:00And now we hear the NWO black and white music.
00:40:12But there's more members coming out.
00:40:14Maybe a meeting of the minds here between the Hitman and NWO black and white.
00:40:19That can't happen.
00:40:20What, a meeting of the minds?
00:40:23You have to have a mind.
00:40:27That's right, you do Kurt Hennig.
00:40:29I mean, Kurt Hennig has a cage match, and
00:40:33he is brave enough to come out of here with all the problems that have gone down.
00:40:38It's easy to be brave when you're surrounded by Stevie Ray and Vincent.
00:40:42One, two, three.
00:40:43Yes, you're right again.
00:40:44I'm always right.
00:40:45I gotta put such a face against something right now.
00:40:47What's it like, yeah?
00:40:48I gotta put such a face against something right now.
00:40:51Woohoo.
00:40:51That's good.
00:40:52No, I, oh, fans, already tonight, Brian Adams, Scott Norton,
00:40:58carried out in a, an ambulance, the Disciple pummeled,
00:41:03and then hung upside down in Hollywood's dressing room.
00:41:06And so more problems continue to exist and build for the black and the white here.
00:41:13Oh, look at this.
00:41:15What to think about.
00:41:18Time to factor in the War Pack.
00:41:20Here comes Sting.
00:41:20He's got the bat in hand.
00:41:24Sting has come out.
00:41:26Home run 62.
00:41:28And he came out and he helped Bret Hart.
00:41:34You know, I said all along,
00:41:35what if Bret Hart was telling the truth
00:41:37about this relationship?
00:41:38Yeah, but what if he's not?
00:41:40Can you trust Bret Hart?
00:41:41Uh-oh, he stays at a bat's length from Sting.
00:41:45He didn't return the high five.
00:41:47Or a low five.
00:41:49Sting hands it back to Bret Hart.
00:41:53I wouldn't do that.
00:41:55We've seen this from Sting before.
00:42:03As Sting chased away,
00:42:05the members of the white and the black
00:42:06came to Bret Hart's aid.
00:42:11He shoved him away with a bat,
00:42:12then turned his back on him.
00:42:18Again, very bizarre.
00:42:20Stay with us.
00:42:21Back for the second hour to begin here on WCW Money Nitro
00:42:33as we continue our three-hour celebration
00:42:35as we begin our fourth season.
00:42:38And what a program it's been so far, I tell you.
00:42:42It's been a program chock full of big announcements,
00:42:45of exciting matches still to come,
00:42:47in addition, a very bizarre turn of events,
00:42:51especially when you think about what's happened to NWO Hollywood
00:42:54and what just went down between Sting and Bret Hart.
00:42:58And that's a form of a question.
00:43:00What just went down between those two?
00:43:02We do know this.
00:43:03We've got a very special one-on-one up-close interview
00:43:05with the one and only Rick Steiner right now.
00:43:07When we got down to that dog pose, Scotty, for the last time,
00:43:12I felt you come down on the back of my neck.
00:43:15It shattered all my dreams we ever had together.
00:43:18I see myself, and I see genetic perfection.
00:43:22You can change your hair color.
00:43:23You can wear the glasses.
00:43:24You can change your name, Big Papa Pump.
00:43:27I see a phenomenon.
00:43:28What I can't stand is the way you change on the inside.
00:43:31You know, I can't believe what you've done to the Stiner name.
00:43:33I am the stronger, faster, bigger Steiner brother.
00:43:40But what bothers me the most is what you've done to our parents.
00:43:43And for that, I'm going to beat the crap out of you.
00:43:47You end up, yo, they use people.
00:43:50I can't believe you can't see that.
00:43:52Things might be going great right now.
00:43:54You're having a great time.
00:43:55You and Buff out there hamming it up.
00:43:58Make fun of me.
00:44:00Dress him up.
00:44:01Mustache, headgear.
00:44:02Go, go, go, go, go, go.
00:44:03Soon later, when you don't perform up to expectations,
00:44:06they're going to use you and get rid of you.
00:44:09They're going to drop you like a bad habit.
00:44:11Then what are you going to do, Scotty?
00:44:12Where are you going to go?
00:44:14Don't call me.
00:44:15You and me, we took it to another level.
00:44:18So when they brought us together in the 90s,
00:44:20we dominated the sport.
00:44:22We went to Japan.
00:44:24We dominated Japan.
00:44:26We came to WCW.
00:44:28We dominated WCW.
00:44:30We had every belt they could come up with for a tag team.
00:44:33We were the best.
00:44:35And you threw it all away.
00:44:36I sit there sometime and just wait for those finishing moves you used to do.
00:44:40The Frankensteiner.
00:44:42Tilt the whirl.
00:44:44The suplex.
00:44:45To the pile driver.
00:44:46The Steiner screwdriver.
00:44:48Awesome moves, Scotty.
00:44:50You know, you say you're the better Steiner brother.
00:44:52You're going to have a chance to prove it.
00:44:56And that chance to prove it is now six days out.
00:45:00And I tell you, that I think that was really for the heart for Rick Steiner.
00:45:04That said it all.
00:45:05And that brings back some very vivid memories of how great they were.
00:45:09And they were great.
00:45:10And what has now happened at the hands of N.W.
00:45:13Hollywood and the black and the white and at the hands of runaway egos by Scott Steiner,
00:45:18by Buff Bagwell, and by everyone, by Papa Buff, by everyone in N.W.O. Hollywood.
00:45:22It really is a great tradition in the history that the Steiner brothers have forged in professional wrestling,
00:45:27especially as a tag team through the years.
00:45:29The matchup that has been delayed, finally going to come off at ball brawl.
00:45:34Steiner versus Steiner.
00:45:36Question is, will the dog-faced gremlin get the last lap on his brother?
00:45:40Well, I tell you, the older brother always has more wisdom simply because he's been around longer.
00:45:47And Rick Steiner hit the nail on the head.
00:45:49The new world order simply will use you.
00:45:52And they will use you up and then throw you away.
00:45:55And that's what's happening to Big Papa Pump, whether he knows it or not.
00:45:59And commentate that these idiots can't.
00:46:01I got it, all right?
00:46:02What are these guys doing out here?
00:46:04What did he say?
00:46:05What is he playing over here for?
00:46:08Buff Bagwell, what's going on here?
00:46:10N.W.O.
00:46:13Mike, you better leave.
00:46:15Yeah, don't worry, Mike.
00:46:16We have got a little change in plans, my friends.
00:46:20Don't try to trip me, Tony.
00:46:21You tried to trip me.
00:46:22No, I did not.
00:46:23What match was scheduled here?
00:46:24Well, Evan Courageous was scheduled.
00:46:26Well, guess what?
00:46:26Big Papa Pump's going to whip some butt.
00:46:29Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:46:31Look at him out there.
00:46:32Gosh, he looks great.
00:46:33Don't he, Tony?
00:46:34I got to admit, he looks awesome.
00:46:36All right, be quiet.
00:46:37He's going to talk.
00:46:38The only reason I'm out here right now.
00:46:40Because me and Buff were in the back with a couple of nays from Pensacola, and he touched me on his shoulder and said, look at the monitor and see what your brother's saying.
00:46:56And what you just seen was a tale of two brothers, one that won every tag team title there is to win, and another one that just tagged along.
00:47:12One that joined the greatest organization in sports, the NWO, black and white.
00:47:22And one that stuck around with the losers in WCW.
00:47:33You see, me and Buff have played enough mind games with all you people and with my brother, and come fall, brah, I'm going to take my brother to the edge of the feet, and then I'm going to push him over.
00:47:56Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:47:57Because I am the bigger, stronger.
00:48:02Yes.
00:48:03Faster, Steiner, brother.
00:48:06Yes, you are.
00:48:07Ha, ha.
00:48:08And I'm going to prove that at Fall Bra.
00:48:11You've already proven it.
00:48:13You're the man.
00:48:14Come on, Tony, jump in when you want here.
00:48:15Now, your opponent is laying out in back, and you have the unfortunate task of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, meeting the wrong person.
00:48:28He sure does.
00:48:29Boy, Evan, jump out of there and run.
00:48:31And I'm telling you right now, do you really think you have what it takes to take on Big Papa Pup?
00:48:40Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:48:42Oh, there's a Big Papa Pup.
00:48:44I can't hear you, boy.
00:48:45There's the bell.
00:48:47Talk to me, boy, I can't hear you.
00:48:50Oh, that must have hurt.
00:48:52Hey, Buff.
00:48:53Yo.
00:48:54Do some real commentating.
00:48:55You got it, Big Papa Pup.
00:48:56You got it, Big Papa Pup.
00:48:57You know what's up?
00:48:58Here we go.
00:48:59Okay, Larry.
00:49:00I wouldn't take this too lightly.
00:49:01That's not Rick Steiner that Scott is in there with.
00:49:03He can call himself whatever he wants to.
00:49:05Wait, just a second, Larry.
00:49:06This Evan Courageous is a fine young man.
00:49:09He's got a big chance at WCW.
00:49:11This is no easy task if that's what you're saying, Larry.
00:49:14Look at him.
00:49:15He's a big boy.
00:49:16Listen, what I'm saying.
00:49:17Buff!
00:49:18Tell him what I'm gonna do to my brother.
00:49:19Just don't take Rick Steiner lightly.
00:49:21Shut up!
00:49:22And don't, you've already, the New World Order already used you up.
00:49:25They took your soul.
00:49:26They took your neck.
00:49:27Look what they've used it up on Scott.
00:49:29Don't you guys see the light?
00:49:30The light is where the money is, Larry.
00:49:32That's where we're at.
00:49:33Hollywood Hogan's about the money.
00:49:35We're making the money, Big Daddy.
00:49:37That's what it's all about.
00:49:38Is it not right, Larry?
00:49:39I got as much money as anybody, and I didn't sell my soul.
00:49:43Oh, Larry, my soul's not sold.
00:49:45You know better than that.
00:49:46Oh, there's a big press slam.
00:49:48Two, three.
00:49:49Oh, three excellent reps by Big Papa Pop.
00:49:52That was wonderful.
00:49:53Look at that.
00:49:54Look at the packs.
00:49:55Look at the buys.
00:49:56Look at that Gardner's fame.
00:49:57Hey, if Scottie Steiner was the Scottie Steiner I used to wrestle against,
00:50:00he could beat the entire New World Order by himself.
00:50:03But see, that's the deal.
00:50:04We're a team.
00:50:05We're a unity.
00:50:06We're the N-W-O, and it's for LIFE.
00:50:09Join a football team.
00:50:11Football.
00:50:12This is wrestling.
00:50:13This is a real sport.
00:50:15You guys can't make it one-on-one.
00:50:18Of course we can.
00:50:19We're a team, but at times we gotta do what it takes to get done.
00:50:22Look at that.
00:50:23Oh, call the match.
00:50:24End it.
00:50:25End the bell.
00:50:26Thank you, Bob.
00:50:27You talk about me.
00:50:28I'll just stand behind you.
00:50:29Oh, look at that one.
00:50:30Oh, beautiful.
00:50:32Look at the shoulders on Big Papa Pop.
00:50:34Is that unbelievable?
00:50:35No, don't do that, Papa.
00:50:37Well, go ahead.
00:50:39Steiner Recliner is what he calls it.
00:50:41That's right.
00:50:42And he hooked Evan Courageous, and for Evan Courageous nowhere to go but down.
00:50:46That was beautiful.
00:50:48So six days, Buff Bagwell.
00:50:50Six days.
00:50:51Rick Steiner gets him in the ring.
00:50:53Fall brawl.
00:50:54Rick Steiner, you better get ready, son, because as you can see on the screen right now,
00:50:58Big Papa Pop is as ready as it gets.
00:51:02What a waste of muscle.
00:51:05Our thanks to Buff Bagwell.
00:51:07Yeah, thank you.
00:51:08Who joined us.
00:51:09You can leave now.
00:51:11See ya, Biff.
00:51:13It's Buff.
00:51:14Buff Bagwell has walked out now with Scott Steiner, thank goodness.
00:51:17And we'll try to find Mike today, who I'm sure is hiding in the bathroom somewhere,
00:51:21and get him out.
00:51:22And, uh, fans as the Nitro Girls dance this week's Nitro Party Pack winner goes, Stephanie Brown.

00:52:37And it's our first look at Hector Garza in quite a while, Mike, today.
00:52:40It's been some six or eight months since we've seen Hector Garza in World Championship Wrestling, sidelined with full-blown NITRO.
00:52:45It's been some six or eight months since we've seen Hector Garza in World Championship Wrestling, sidelined with full-blown NITRO.
00:53:00This is gonna be quite a test for your first match back in WCW to challenge one of the all-time High Flyers, the Youth Warrior, Huventude Guerrero, for the WCW World's Cruiserweight belt.
00:53:13That looks full of hoovey juice tonight, and Hector's gonna have to, he's gonna have to ground Huventude.
00:53:19He's gonna have to get the juice.
00:53:21Never gonna be able to keep up with the speed of Huventude.
00:53:24He's gonna have to take him to that mat.
00:53:27That's where we separate the men from the boys.
00:53:31One would think in your first match back up after this reconstructed knee surgery that he had, that he would maybe alter his style.
00:53:37Be very interesting to see if he tries that corkscrew plancha or not.
00:53:41That obviously had a lot to do with the knee surgery.
00:53:45I mean, we've talked about it so many times. We call it high-risk maneuvers, not only because of your opponent, but because of what you can do to your own body when you execute those moves.
00:53:53And that corkscrew plancha that Hector Garza executes has been rated among the highest risk of all the high-risk moves.
00:54:00And especially now, coming off the knee surgery, it's gonna be interesting to see if he still employs the corkscrew plancha in his offensive arsenal.
00:54:07Even if you're physically 99% or 100%, just mentally going through an operation, trying to execute a move at full blast, your mind is telling you to expect pain.
00:54:18I mean, you get to the point where you don't trust your body anymore, and that is not good.
00:54:23Sure, he'll be a little tentative here in the early going, because like you mentioned, Larry, I'm sure he has that thought process in the back of his mind, always wondering how the knee is going to react.
00:54:32Garza, obvious size advantage here, but there you see Hubertood up, and Garza landed on his knees nicely.
00:54:39Hubertood is so quick, though, into the ropes, he goes, pick up.
00:54:44Both men went down that time, and Garza's slow to get up.
00:54:48It looked like Garza lost his balance trying to maneuver that.
00:54:51Oh, caught him that time with the tilt-a-whirl into a backbreaker.
00:54:55He's gotta stay on him, though. You gotta Huber down, you gotta stay on him.
00:55:00Well, this capacity crowd we have on hand, a sellout.
00:55:03It didn't take long to sell this venue out after tickets went on sale.
00:55:06But we talked about they are very appreciative of the action they're seeing here in this cruiserweight match.
00:55:11When we think about the eerie feeling, we talked about it earlier, and the feeling that we get when we're in this building.
00:55:15Oh, caught!
00:55:16One year ago in this building when we had Nitro, the parody that at the behest of NWO black and white at that time,
00:55:24only one group that they made on the horsemen, on Arne Anderson, and it was sickening.
00:55:30And that was just the beginning later on on War Games to the end of the Four Horsemen.
00:55:35Well, you know, Arne Anderson has been having a hard time even talking about the horsemen with J.J. Dillon, with Mongo McMichael.
00:55:43And let me imagine the creepy feeling we get when we come here and think about what they did to a tra-tradition.
00:55:48Think how Arne Anderson must feel in this building.
00:55:51It really is an uneasy feeling, especially for someone that we all respect as much as we do AA Arne Anderson.
00:55:57Well, he was my partner, and I know the guy, and as tough as he was, he's also got a heart for the business.
00:56:02Oh!
00:56:04Top.
00:56:05Juventud goes airborne.
00:56:08The plancha, the flying cross-body block connects on the floor with Hector Garza.
00:56:12I think that time he was very lucky that he connected with Garza.
00:56:15Had he missed, it would have been nothing but steel safety rail on the outside.
00:56:19That's the asthma.
00:56:20Look at Juventud hopped up, and Garza, he's not getting up near quick enough to keep up with Guerrera.
00:56:25Garza a little slow to recover.
00:56:27You're right, Larry, and look at Juventud already set for his next high-risk top rope move.
00:56:31Garza kicked him on the way down.
00:56:33That was super anticipation.
00:56:35Great timing that time as he connected on the way down.
00:56:38One, two, got a two count.
00:56:40And kicking out that time is the cruiserweight champ.
00:56:43Still to come, fans, Goldberg, the world champ, will be in action in this program.
00:56:47The cage match.
00:56:48Kurt Hinnock, a key figure in the destruction of the Horsemen one year ago
00:56:53against a man who, because of it, here's a cover, one, two, only got a two count
00:56:58against a man who, because of his friendship with the one Chris Benoit,
00:57:02has been wanting to get the ball rolling to get the Horsemen back together.
00:57:05Dean Malenko, that cage match still to come.
00:57:08To this Boston Crab here.
00:57:11Going to try and hook the arms, almost a variation of the rocking horse submission hold.
00:57:17That's exactly what it is.
00:57:18And now, Hooventud, can you believe this?
00:57:20Comes out with a sunset flip out of that move.
00:57:22I tell you, Hooventud, small guy, good shape, but he's very agile.
00:57:26He just squirms out of .
00:57:28Right there.
00:57:29Wasn't fast enough.
00:57:30Garza caught him underneath the chin and crawling over.
00:57:32Lays him out with a lariat and gets a two count and Hooventud gets away.
00:57:36Also, fans tonight, Rowdy Roddy Piper and Diamond Dallas Page.
00:57:40Kind of an uneasy alliance after we heard the interview from Piper,
00:57:43but they'll be together tonight.
00:57:45Look at the Mahistra cradle.
00:57:46Got him one, two, but couldn't hold him down.
00:57:49They'll be tonight against members of the Wolfpack.
00:57:51Any duo will come out and face them.
00:57:53Well, I tell you, Diamond Dallas Page and Roddy Piper,
00:57:56they will be like peas and carrots tonight,
00:57:58but Piper's made it clear exactly what it will be like at war games.
00:58:02There basically is no team.
00:58:04There is a survivor, one man that will get Goldberg.
00:58:08Piper put it best.
00:58:09He said, I agreed to team with you once,
00:58:11and that one time is tonight in the main event tag team matchup.
00:58:18Double underhook in by Hector Garza.
00:58:20Garza now trying to slow this thing down, as we thought.
00:58:24You know, a lot of times, as you said, Larry, it's always in your mind.
00:58:27You may not even trust your body,
00:58:29and I think Garza slowing it down is showing us just that.
00:58:32He still has some reservations about some high-risk maneuvers.
00:58:35Well, if you hurt yourself again,
00:58:37you know that moving two's just gonna have a lot more easier time beating.
00:58:41It's that mental and that physical.
00:58:44It's got to be one solid unit, both 100%.
00:58:48Plus, one has to consider the stamina of Garza
00:58:51in his first match in some eight months.
00:58:53Looking good so far.
00:58:54Garza putting him up and down hard,
00:58:56and Garza could, what a big win this would be
00:58:59to come back.
00:59:00His first comeback match after the major knee surgery
00:59:02to win the cruiserweight belt, but it could happen.
00:59:05Dropkick in the back, in the lower back that time.
00:59:08Hubertoot hit the turnbuckles very hard.
00:59:10You're talking about whiplash.
00:59:13He is so quick.
00:59:23One of the missile drop kick connected off the top.
00:59:29One of his moves covered, lateral press!
00:59:32I tell you the size Hubertoot has to squirm out of predicaments makes it just as hard
00:59:37hard for him to cradle up and hold down a bigger man.
00:59:42In the corner, in Juventude.
00:59:49Gonna try to put him up top.
00:59:50This is a place that Garza, I figure, would not want to go.
00:59:55But there's nothing he can do right now.
00:59:56Yeah, he's gonna have a choice.
00:59:59He blocked him.
01:00:01He stopped that Frankensteiner.
01:00:02He knew it was coming.
01:00:03Did not want to go there, exactly right.
01:00:05And now he hooks him, and he put him down.
01:00:10He can win at one, two, no!
01:00:13He hit him up at the last split second after the powerbomb.
01:00:16My goodness, that was so close.
01:00:20Juventude is still conscious.
01:00:23What a slap Garza gave him off that top.
01:00:27Amazing, he squirmed out of it.
01:00:29How much more can he take?
01:00:31Boy, that's the burning question here.
01:00:32Garza tried the Cabrata.
01:00:35That moonsault back into the ring.
01:00:37Did not connect.
01:00:38Hoobie to his feet.
01:00:39And picks him up.
01:00:40There's the Hoobie driver!
01:00:42Cover one, two, three!
01:00:46Hoobie Kid won it!
01:00:50And as they stand and they cheer, we have already
01:00:52seen the remnants of attacks from the Warrior here tonight.
01:00:58And the question is, as you probably know, as I'm sure they're squirming in the back,
01:01:04wondering what will be next.
01:01:06Where in the world will we see the Warrior strike next?
01:01:08With that in mind, let's take you to Gene Okerlund.
01:01:12All right, the Monday nights are on fire here, Tony Schiavone.
01:01:14Still to come, the big match between Kurt Hennig.
01:01:17Of course, along with Rick Rude, Kurt is part of the rank and file of the NWO.
01:01:22He's going to be facing Dean Malenko.
01:01:24Kurt Hennig, Rick Rude, gentlemen, join me if you will, because this is something certainly
01:01:30we want to talk about, especially, Tony, in light of the remarks that were made over
01:01:37the past couple of weeks regarding one Arn Anderson.
01:01:41Based on what the Warrior's done tonight, I wouldn't want to come out with a black and
01:01:44a white on.
01:01:45I don't care who you are, anything can go down here.
01:01:49All right, we've heard some disparaging remarks that originate from the two of you regarding
01:01:54Arn Anderson.
01:01:55But tonight, Dean Malenko inside a steel cage.
01:01:59Kurt Hennig.
01:02:00I can't believe myself when I saw Arn Anderson walk away from the Four Horsemen and turn his
01:02:06back like a coward.
01:02:07I knew the man was a coward from the start, and Arn Anderson will always be a coward.
01:02:12I shut the door on the Four Horsemen over a year ago.
01:02:15You remember?
01:02:16What's your take on that, Rick?
01:02:1815 years ago, the Horsemen were riding high.
01:02:23But now it's a horse of a different color, and it's plain to see, Divot Head, that Arn Anderson
01:02:28has been set out to pasture.
01:02:31You know, I think you're out of line.
01:02:33Arn Anderson gave his answer to the world one week ago.
01:02:36He is history.
01:02:38He's not going to be able to compete actively because of injuries.
01:02:41Leave it alone.
01:02:42Besides, tonight, your issue is one-on-one with Dean Malenko inside a steel cage.
01:02:47I think you've opened up a can of worms.
01:02:48Dean Malenko, the Horsemen wannabe, is that who you're talking about?
01:02:53He comes out and challenges Kurt Hennig to a cage match.
01:02:57He's a wannabe so bad, he doesn't know which end of the horse that he wants to be.
01:03:03And after tonight, Dean Malenko, when I get through with you in that cage, the whole world
01:03:09is going to know that you're nothing more than a horse is past Rick Rude about it.
01:03:15Is that what you think?
01:03:17Exactly.
01:03:18All right.
01:03:19That is still to come here on Nitro.
01:03:22These two gentlemen, I should point out Rick Rude outside of the steel cage.
01:03:27That's not dandruff.
01:03:28Give me a break.
01:03:29Tony, what's your take on this?
01:03:31It's a big divot.
01:03:32I'm glad, I'm glad you're there and we're not, but the cage match is still to come
01:03:37later in this telecast, fans, the steel cage, live on Nitro and a lot more.
01:03:45Back with the action on WCW Monday Nitro and our 30-year birthday bash going on.
01:03:51A lot going down here tonight and a lot going on mysteriously behind the scenes.
01:03:57We have seen in NW Hollywood, they have felt the aftermath of tonight's
01:04:02revolution that's been continuing with the one warrior nation.
01:04:05The warrior obviously around somewhere and I guess we have seen Scott Norton, we have
01:04:11seen Brian Adams, the disciple, they've all felt the effects of that.
01:04:15But mostly Hollywood Hogan's felt them, Mike.
01:04:18And remember when the warrior arrives on the scene, his appearances and his
01:04:23disappearances, well they're both mysterious.
01:04:26We've seen NWO black and white members dropping like flies earlier tonight.
01:04:30Norton, Brian Adams, the disciple, NWO Hollywood is retreating, Larry.
01:04:35We might not have an NWO Hollywood by the end of the night.
01:04:39You can better believe that the last place that Hollywood Hogan wants to go is in a steel
01:04:45cage with the warrior, but believe it, six days you'll have to do it at war games.
01:04:51How about Hogan earlier tonight saying that after some eight years, the warrior was going
01:04:55to have to prove himself.
01:04:57Once they lock that door on the double ring steel cage this Sunday at the war games, Hollywood
01:05:02Hogan, there's no place to hide.
01:05:04That's a cop out, more Hogan mumbo jumbo.
01:05:08Actually, Hollywood Hogan may be the only member of the New World Order left.
01:05:14The cat and chaos, Kenny chaos, if you will, of high voltage to go one on one.
01:05:22This should be a good matchup and a very stark contrast in styles here.
01:05:28Hold on our fans in Milwaukee, Duluth, Boston, Phoenix, and in Lexington, Kentucky.
01:05:33Some big information about events coming your way.
01:05:35Right now, chaos trying to duck in and we have seen, you know, we talked so much about
01:05:40change of attitudes and I'm not so sure that the cat Ernest Miller has gone through a change
01:05:46of attitude.
01:05:47I just think the attitude has come forth, has been amplified attitude that if you talk
01:05:51to most people that he's already had.
01:05:53He often thought that when he made the crossover from tournament karate fighting into pro wrestling
01:05:58that he was the very best and no one could beat him.
01:06:00And now that's just coming out here in the ranch.
01:06:02That's exactly what it is, Tony.
01:06:03We're talking about a man who was three times a world's karate champion and he's decided
01:06:08that he is going to play to his strengths.
01:06:11Talked earlier about not being a wrestler.
01:06:14See how he competes against chaos of high voltage who's going it in singles competition rather
01:06:19than as a tag team.
01:06:20Well, you've got to play to your strengths if you cannot improve your weakness.
01:06:24Obviously, Ernest is just not a great mad wrestler.
01:06:28He's got some good moves like that, but you've got to get the submission.
01:06:31Once you take a man down, you've got to know how to keep him down and control his body.
01:06:35If the cat can't concentrate on that all around, he'd be extremely tough.
01:06:42Chaos has been a fine wrestler, but I really think that the singles competition very foreign to him.
01:06:47Especially at a point in time like this when the cat takes over control and chaos retreats,
01:06:56there's just no one there for him to make the tag to.
01:06:59Out it goes and chaos.
01:07:05Oh boy, the big man with the power sending the man down however I want to.
01:07:10Couldn't hold him.
01:07:11We got a two count.
01:07:12And what was first a rear chin lock into a submission hold here.
01:07:18Well, chaos trying to get that left leg underneath the arm more and now he didn't hook it good.
01:07:23Oh, he runs right over it.
01:07:39On top, kicked away.
01:07:42He got him down again.
01:07:44Didn't hook him quick enough.
01:07:45You know, one thing we were talking earlier about how Adams and Norton were taken away in the ambulance
01:07:49and we saw the Disciple upside down.
01:07:51We've had no report on how the Disciple is.
01:07:54The last thing we saw with Hollywood Hogan, and to be honest with you, not that we really care how he is, but the last time...
01:07:59Or do you think you're gonna get an honest report from them?
01:08:01Do you think Hollywood Hogan cares how he is?
01:08:03He's worried about him.
01:08:04The last thing we heard Hollywood Hogan who was going to a break was someone get a doctor.
01:08:14You know, it's funny that a week ago we saw the Warrior appearances mysterious high up above everywhere in the arena.
01:08:21But now his appearances have been almost everywhere, but we haven't seen him.
01:08:25It's been like he's attacks and then he leaves.
01:08:28That's smarter than attacking and sticking around.
01:08:31And in the midst of all that, The Cat comes away with another win.
01:08:36Look at that arrogant smirk on his face.
01:08:38Cut the music.
01:08:40Man, I'm so damn good.
01:08:47In this ring right now you see two people.
01:08:51You see a WCW wrestler, and you see a three-time World Karate Champion.
01:08:59I got to be the greatest.
01:09:01I don't know how to lose.
01:09:02Someone stop me, please.
01:09:04And WCW, if you got anyone in that locker room to stop me, bring them out here right now.
01:09:11I thought so.
01:09:20You people make me sick.
01:09:22So, Living Legend, what about that?
01:09:28The people make him sick.
01:09:30Open challenge to the locker room.
01:09:32Open challenge to anyone.
01:09:33For The Cat, stay with us.
01:09:35A lot more to talk about in Night Raw.
01:09:37A lot more to talk about in Night Raw.
01:09:58More LGBT!
