00:00:28.
00:00:29We welcome you back, fans, to WCW Monday Night Draw.
00:00:35It is literally a fever pitch.
00:00:37It's electric here in the Bylo Center in Greenville, South Carolina.
00:00:41We welcome to our broadcast location, Bobby the Brain and Caden.
00:00:45And Bobby, I may mention the fact when we arrived earlier, I've never seen an atmosphere
00:00:50like we saw in the backstage area.
00:00:53And the rumors about Ric Flair's return combined with Goldberg and Sting
00:00:58wrestling here tonight.
00:00:59I've never had this, I haven't had this feeling in a long, long time.
00:01:01Well, that's the talk in the back right now.
00:01:03Everybody's talking Ric Flair.
00:01:04They got signs out here that says, welcome to Flairville.
00:01:07And with Goldberg and the talk going on in the back, it's tremendous back there.
00:01:12I've never seen the energy level so high as it is tonight on Nitro.
00:01:16Now, did you see anything backstage that would tip you off that Ric Flair is going to be here?
00:01:21They have an area with curtains that you can't get back there.
00:01:25There's security back there and it's got that yellow tape like a crime scene.
00:01:28It's all roped off.
00:01:29I don't know what's going on back there.
00:01:30Now, J.J. Dillon is in a tuxedo.
00:01:32Was there anybody else with him back there that you saw?
00:01:35I didn't see J.J. back there.
00:01:37I didn't see anybody.
00:01:38It's all cordoned off.
00:01:39You can't get back there.
00:01:40I tried, but...
00:01:45Jimmy Apple-Nightheart's in the ring.
00:01:48Well, ladies and gentlemen...
00:01:50Uh-oh.
00:01:51Smoke fills the ring once again.
00:01:56Remember the last time the smoke filled the ring?
00:02:00Stop coughing, would you please?
00:02:01I can't.
00:02:02There's smoke.
00:02:03The Warrior apparently got rid of the...
00:02:08Here he is!
00:02:09Once again.
00:02:12From nowhere.
00:02:15And he's...
00:02:16Who is that?
00:02:17It's The Disciple, isn't it?
00:02:18That's what it is.
00:02:19The Disciple's with it.
00:02:33How does he do that?
00:02:34How does he do that?
00:02:35It's incredible.
00:02:36And now, here come the troops.
00:02:39Here they come.
00:02:40This is the scaper, as we know, is not hard to get to the Disciple.
00:02:47You guys just watched the comeback.
00:02:49I'll handle this, Kyle.
00:02:50The Disciple, through that mysterious disappearance, we weren't gonna say anything.
00:02:54Disciple's not moving.
00:02:55I'll handle this, Kyle.
00:02:56You're missing something, Hogan.
00:02:59No, no, no.
00:03:01Stand your ground, boys.
00:03:06You know, Hogan, in our lives, we can choose to live as warriors or live as ordinary men.
00:03:19And at War Games, your actions as an ordinary man has only engraved the purpose of OWN Revolution upon the minds of those warriors who will find the courage.
00:03:40As you can see, Hogan, a Disciple who stands behind a mindless dictator, cowers in fear in the face of a leader.
00:04:04As for your challenge, Hogan, and Halloween Havoc, I accept.
00:04:27But remember this, Hogan.
00:04:39Remember this.
00:04:41The graveyards are full of cowardly, crumbling, comfortable men.
00:04:50Feel the part.
00:04:53Ladies and gentlemen, it's gonna be Hogan and the Warrior, Hollywood and the Warrior coming up at Halloween Havoc.
00:05:03How about that one?
00:05:04That match people thought they'd never see, they're gonna see at Halloween Havoc.
00:05:08And I would buy a ticket to see it myself.
00:05:10And look at that.
00:05:12The Warrior has disappeared.
00:05:14And so has the Disciple.
00:05:16The Warrior still stays one step ahead of Hogan.
00:05:19And they can't figure it out.
00:05:22Hogan came out earlier, made the challenge for Sunday, October 25th for Halloween Havoc.
00:05:28And the Warrior said yes!
00:05:30He said yes!
00:05:32Ladies and gentlemen, the action continues.
00:05:38In the face of the rumors, in the face of will or will he not, Ric Flair show up here tonight.
00:05:44Will the Horsemen get back together?
00:05:46In the face of Goldberg and Sting wrestling tonight for the world title of this program.
00:05:52Another bombshell is hit.
00:05:54And that is in Hollywood Hogan.
00:05:56And the Warrior have agreed to wrestle.
00:05:58I have agreed to go at it tonight.
00:06:00Or to go at it at Halloween Havoc on the 25th of October at the MGM Grand and on pay-per-view.
00:06:09For our fans in Las Vegas, tickets available at the box office and Ticketmaster.
00:06:13Of course, you fans have been watching our pay-per-view telecasts.
00:06:17You know how to order Halloween Havoc.
00:06:19And I tell you, like Brayne said, we never thought we'd see it again, but we're gonna see it on the 25th.
00:06:24And a word to the wise, the good people of Las Vegas, Nevada, there are tickets still available for Halloween Havoc.
00:06:32But do not delay whatever you do.
00:06:34That big announcement that Hogan will face the Warrior at Halloween Havoc.
00:06:39That has to rock the wrestling world.
00:06:41Can't you just feel that this is a night show for the ages tonight?
00:06:44This is one for the time capsule.
00:06:46Well, obviously, they're all healed.
00:06:51I'm sorry about Bagwell and Steiner.
00:06:54They were never hooked.
00:06:55I know.
00:06:56We all fell for that one.
00:06:58I did.
00:06:59They had me.
00:07:00And James J. Dillon caught it right.
00:07:02He's gonna re-sign that for Halloween Havoc.
00:07:05So right now we have three mega matches that we know about.
00:07:09Diamond Down is staged, scheduled against Goldberg, but depending on what happens with Sting tonight,
00:07:14it couldn't be paid to Sting for the world title.
00:07:18Best thing to do is get your tickets now.
00:07:20You don't wanna miss one moment of this.
00:07:22Hollywood Hogan and the Warrior one-on-one, and the Steiner brothers.
00:07:27I can tell you this right now.
00:07:29I know what has happened here.
00:07:31We all know that in wrestling, anything can happen at any time, especially on this program.
00:07:37There could come a sign that Buck Bagwell does re-enter that night.
00:07:43If it happens with Steiner in the ring, Steiner's not going to stop this time.
00:07:47Is he gonna get any sympathy for Mike?
00:07:49Well, I think he's called Wolf too many times, and if he is hurt, no one's gonna know.
00:07:55Everybody's gonna think he's just- I can't use the right term here.
00:08:00You know what I mean, though?
00:08:01Yeah, just use the word jerk.
00:08:02That's what he is.
00:08:03And this is gonna be a handicap match here.
00:08:05It's Scott Steiner against the duo of Silver King and Norman Smiley.
00:08:10So Big Papa Pump wants to face two men, huh?
00:08:13How can he say he wants to face two men when he wasn't even brave enough to face his brother last night?
00:08:18Well, he decks Silver King, and then he sends Norman Smiley down.
00:08:21Silver King and Silver King down.
00:08:23Man, you can feel it in the air tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
00:08:28Goldberg and Sting, as the minutes go by, draws even closer.
00:08:32And then who knows what's gonna happen in the history of the Four Horsemen.
00:08:36This could be an historic night.
00:08:38And if it does happen tonight, what a place for it to happen, Mike Denae.
00:08:41Oh, just perfect, Tony. Greenville, South Carolina.
00:08:44Absolutely Four Horsemen country.
00:08:47And we could see Goldberg lose his first one.
00:08:50It could happen.
00:08:51That's Sting.
00:08:52I know. I'm thinking.
00:08:54This beautiful Bilo Center, like we mentioned earlier, for the only third event ever.
00:09:01In this new facility that was built literally on the same ground with the old auditorium here that
00:09:07the Horsemen had many other massacres in.
00:09:10At the Memorial Auditorium here in Greenville, South Carolina.
00:09:13So we're on the same site, just a different building.
00:09:17Downtown Greenville.
00:09:20I tell you, Big Papa Pump, these two manuals, and Silver King, who gave a great showing last night.
00:09:26Norman Smiley, you talked about being a fine submission wrestler.
00:09:30They're no match for Big Papa Pump here at all.
00:09:32And is this really a handicap match, the way that Bagwell keeps interfering from outside?
00:09:36Whoa.
00:09:37What a physical specimen this Big Papa Pump Scott Steiner is, just totally dominating this handicap match from the outset.
00:09:43Doesn't look like there's one thing wrong.
00:09:45He looks like he's in the best health he's ever been.
00:09:47I've never seen Scott Steiner look or wrestle better.
00:09:51Yeah, he's magnificent and there's no question.
00:09:53The arms on Big Papa Pump.
00:09:58Superstar Scotty Steiner has been called by Hollywood Hogan.
00:10:01When's the last time you think he had the double G's in the sneakies to go?
00:10:05That is unbelievable.
00:10:08He's in shape.
00:10:10Silver King in the background there just trying to hang on as Norman Smiley is way up in the air.
00:10:18And now.
00:10:19Big Papa Pump is just running through the competition here.
00:10:27Goldberg has run through many, many men.
00:10:31Will he run through Sting tonight?
00:10:33Oh, right on top of him.
00:10:38Powerbomb, one man on top of the other.
00:10:42Now he's gonna stack them up.
00:10:47Look at this, this is a double Steiner recliner.
00:10:51How about it?
00:10:54Pulling back on Smiley.
00:10:56Smiley's head pulling back on the head of Silver King.
00:10:59And the Steiner recliner.
00:11:05Awesome athlete in the world today.
00:11:08Big Papa Pump.
00:11:10That's what it's all about.
00:11:12Big maybe hurt his own lower back that time.
00:11:14How do you feel?
00:11:15He's holding his lower back there.
00:11:18Shut up!
00:11:19But he's just worked over two big guys.
00:11:21Who knows if he's hurt?
00:11:24Who believes these two?
00:11:30Hey, Norman!
00:11:32Are you smiling?
00:11:34Are you-
00:11:41Two of the biggest jerks in our sport out here.
00:11:44Members of NW Hollywood, that's hand in hand.
00:11:46Talking about NWO Hollywood and Dire Straits.
00:11:51Hey, Hogan's gotta face the warrior coming up at Halloween Halloween.
00:11:56And you just saw Scott Steiner there pick up Silver King and drop him on Norman Smiley.
00:12:01Now he goes into the double Steiner recliner for rest and relaxation.
00:12:07And there's your winner!
00:12:09Big Papa Pump!
00:12:10Scott Steiner, lay back and pick your feet up.
00:12:15Scott Steiner runs over the competition.
00:12:18Runs over two men.
00:12:19As a matter of fact.
00:12:22And we're gonna see the night drill girls once again give us the opportunity.
00:12:26Yeah.
00:12:27To tell you that Thursday, September 24th,
00:12:29Thunder on TBF will originate the Scope Coliseum in Norfolk, Virginia.
00:12:33The Virginia Waterfront tickets to the Box Office of Ticketmaster.
00:12:36And then on Thursday, October 8th,
00:12:38we're gonna have Thunder at the Market Square Arena in Indianapolis.
00:12:41Tickets available to the Box Office on all Ticketmaster locations there.
00:12:44Coming up with some information about Nitro coming to Minneapolis.
00:12:47And also a big event coming to El Paso, Texas for WCW.
00:12:52Our man Zane never quits, does he?
00:12:54Never, never.
00:12:55The hardest working man in show business, Zane Bresloff is.
00:12:58Seven and 24, that's Zane.
00:13:00And our night...
00:13:02I'm talking here, please.
00:13:03Our Nitro Party brought to you by Mug Root Beer.
00:13:06The bomb goes straight to your brain.
00:13:08Send your Nitro Party tapes to one CNN Center,
00:13:10PO Box in Atlanta, 3-0-3-0-3-0.
00:13:13We had a winner from Buffalo earlier in the night.
00:13:15And we're gonna have another party winner each and every week.
00:13:19And fans, Brain, you wanna talk?
00:13:21Ken, we're out of time.
00:13:23Fans, we are back.
00:13:28Ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna take you back now to what happened on Thunder.
00:13:30I was in the ring conducting an interview when we were interrupted by one Eric Bischoff.
00:13:36And let's take a look at one down on Thunder Thursday night on TBS Live.
00:13:40Here's how it happened.
00:13:42The Four Horsemen are history.
00:13:46And like the rest of history, it should only be viewed in a museum, not on my television show.
00:13:55So forget about Flair.
00:13:57You got a hell of a grip there.
00:14:03And I can see in your eyes that you're a very competitive person.
00:14:16So I'll tell you what.
00:14:19You want Flair to wrestle again.
00:14:24You want the Four Horsemen back together again.
00:14:27I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
00:14:29I'm not a benevolent dictator.
00:14:35I'm your benevolent boss.
00:14:42He choked the words right at him.
00:14:44This week right here, you want Flair to wrestle again?
00:14:46You wanna be a Horseman?
00:14:48You and me, we'll arm wrestle for it.
00:14:51What?
00:14:52That's right.
00:14:53Left-handed.
00:14:55This against that.
00:15:02Come on, arm.
00:15:07Arm wrestle.
00:15:09Arm wrestle.
00:15:10Arm wrestle.
00:15:11Arm wrestle.
00:15:12Right there.
00:15:13Feel it.
00:15:14Feel it.
00:15:15Feel it.
00:15:16Feel it.
00:15:17I'll tell you what I will feel and it felt real good.
00:15:19If I got a chance to get my hands on you again, even on your terms, you got it.
00:15:26So coming up on Thunder this Thursday on TBS, Arne Anderson will arm wrestle left-handed against Eric Bischoff.
00:15:38And last night at Fall Brawl, members of NW Hollywood, namely Roode and Henning, took their turn stopping that arm of Arne Anderson.
00:15:50And I haven't seen Arne Anderson tonight.
00:15:52I wonder what condition that double-A is gonna be in for this Thursday after that brutal attack by Henning and Roode last night at Fall Brawl.
00:16:00Well, I don't know either.
00:16:01I asked earlier about Arne Anderson, but none's the word.
00:16:04No one talks to me.
00:16:05No one gives any answers.
00:16:06Everybody's real tight-lipped.
00:16:07Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, Goldberg and Sting to collide.
00:16:14It's gonna be a collision of epic proportions, and we're gonna have it for you on this program live on Monday Nitro.
00:16:22Also, Eric Bischoff said if Arne wins the arm wrestling contest, Bischoff would allow Ric Flair to wrestle again.
00:16:30Be that as it may, we have heard the rumors, as many of you may have, that Ric Flair would be making an appearance here tonight.
00:16:39Not wrestling, making an appearance.
00:16:41I think it's very apparent from what we heard from Eric Bischoff when we were eavesdropping on Eric and Eddie Guerrero,
00:16:48that coming to the arena, making an appearance, is a lot different than Bischoff allowing you to wrestle.
00:16:54When it comes to dictating who can go in and out of the ring, Bischoff wields a very dangerous pin, Mike.
00:17:00Well, it's all about that power that Eric Bischoff controls.
00:17:03And you're right.
00:17:04I don't know whether he has any power at this point over an appearance by Ric Flair.
00:17:08I don't see how he could.
00:17:10But as far as controlling Ric Flair and keeping him out of a wrestling ring, yeah, he does have that power.
00:17:17Well, there's no question, Arne Anderson, it's putting new light, new importance on it.
00:17:21What is a simple arm wrestling contest on Thursday, Brain?
00:17:25Well, Eric Bischoff, by looking at him and looking at Arne Anderson, there's no match.
00:17:30We all know Arne Anderson's had neck surgery.
00:17:32He's got a bad left hand, and he is left-handed.
00:17:35We know they run him into the post the last couple of times out there.
00:17:38So his shoulder and arm is damaged.
00:17:40I don't know.
00:17:41I don't know what Bischoff's got in the back of his mind.
00:17:44Always something.
00:17:45We'll just wait and see what goes down tonight.
00:17:47But we are seeing one of the wildest, strongest, craziest, most feared men in pro wrestling,
00:17:54men come in against a giant.
00:17:56We've been talking so much about Goldberg and Sting coming up tonight,
00:17:59and maybe Flair's appearance that we've kind of really haven't given much credence to this one.
00:18:04We should.
00:18:05You've got two super heavyweights, two very dangerous men in here.
00:18:09This is a big time matchup, Mike.
00:18:10Well, you have the largest athlete in pro sports with the chokeslam.
00:18:14Against the monster Ming with the Tongan death grip.
00:18:19What a very interesting matchup this is going to be.
00:18:23You know, if you look at the giant, though, and Ming, will that Tongan death grip work?
00:18:28How big he is.
00:18:29Can he reach up that high and have that much power and leverage?
00:18:33I'm not sure Ming can put him away with that Tongan death grip.
00:18:36Using his strictness as Ming.
00:18:38Ming's trying to get him off his feet.
00:18:44That's smart strategy.
00:18:46I mean, this turned into a brawl right now.
00:18:51Look at this.
00:18:52Neither man gave it an inch.
00:18:53I mean, he can't get the giant down, but the giant can't put him down either.
00:18:58Both men still standing.
00:18:59Oh.
00:19:00Oh, what a side kick.
00:19:01Wow.
00:19:02That rocked the big man.
00:19:04He knows Ming's there now.
00:19:07Boy, and the giant, the giant, I think went for a chokeslam, and Ming just pounded the arms away.
00:19:14He just pounded the arms away.
00:19:16And the giant's getting very angry.
00:19:18Ming.
00:19:19Oh, it's a fight.
00:19:20This is an old fashioned slugfest.
00:19:22I like this.
00:19:23And Ming almost dared even hit him again.
00:19:25Giants getting frustrated.
00:19:27He always overshines everyone.
00:19:29He always overpowers everyone.
00:19:32He can't do anything with this man now.
00:19:34He's not hurting him.
00:19:36When he hits him, Ming comes back.
00:19:38Five or six blows for the Giants.
00:19:40One.
00:19:41And a headbutt.
00:19:42It's amazing.
00:19:43That was a wake up call.
00:19:44Come on, big man.
00:19:45Let me see what you got.
00:19:47What is it gonna take?
00:19:52The biggest man in pro wrestling, and Ming has absorbed everything.
00:19:57And down him, hit him again.
00:19:58The Giant has to rethink the strategy here.
00:20:01Like I've always said, Ming feels no pain.
00:20:07Look at this man.
00:20:08That's incredible.
00:20:09To the side of the head, and Ming.
00:20:11Whoa.
00:20:12With one kick, rocked the Giant.
00:20:15He's going for it.
00:20:18And the Giant.
00:20:19Look at that, it's an impasse.
00:20:20He can't reach him.
00:20:21He cut him off of the pass, that big stretch, the big reach of the Giant.
00:20:25One, two, three, the Giant wins.
00:20:31The Giant wins with one move.
00:20:34It was the reach of the Giant, the superior reach that cut Ming off when nothing else worked.
00:20:41I would have loved to see what happened had he not had that reach, had Ming got him in that conga death grip.
00:20:48And that's something I don't know if we'll ever find out or not, but this was a fight.
00:20:53In the span of only a few minutes, this was one heck of a fight here on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:21:00They went at it, they stood toe to toe and just kept hammering at each other.
00:21:06Ming never took a back step.
00:21:08Giant kept getting frustrated more and more.
00:21:10Couldn't get him down a couple times there, Tony and Mike.
00:21:13Ming hit him with a side kick, and I thought the Giant was gonna go.
00:21:16He was wobbly, but he stayed on his feet.
00:21:19We'll be back on Nitro.
00:21:21We are back and the action continues as we head to Goldberg and Sting.
00:21:28Remember the Wolfpack gets his chance at Goldberg, gets his chance at furthering a legend that has been Sting throughout the years here in this sport.
00:21:37Ladies and gentlemen, another member of the NWO will make his way out.
00:21:41I wanna let you know that Nitro returns to Minneapolis and the Target Center on Monday, October 19th.
00:21:47Tickets will go on sale this Friday, the 18th of September, at the Target Center box office and all Ticketmaster locations.
00:21:54And it'll go on sale at 10 a.m.
00:21:56Plus, you can meet Chris Jericho and the Nitro girls at the Target Center box office at 10 a.m.
00:22:02when tickets go on sale this Friday.
00:22:09Well, this is not funny.
00:22:14And for Scott Hall to come out here like this, this way, the same way it came out last night when he faced Conan at Fall Brawl.
00:22:27I'm speaking for WCW, I'm speaking for the broadcast team, for our production crew, for anyone who is a rational thinking American that we do not condone this behavior nor do we think it's even funny.
00:22:41I mean, this is, this is sad, is what it is.
00:22:44The man needs some help.
00:22:46And, well, Vince is not helping him carrying that sack.
00:22:51Yeah, Vince has got the brown bag.
00:22:53Like they say, here comes man's best friend and Vince is bringing it.
00:22:57Now, Scott Hall is scheduled to wrestle Lex Luger in this one on one matchup.
00:23:03And it is our job as announcers to call this.
00:23:08And there's a lot of things that happen that we do not approve of.
00:23:13And this is.
00:23:14Oh, look at this.
00:23:15The belt fell off.
00:23:16He didn't even know it.
00:23:18One half of the WCW World Tag Team Champions.
00:23:22Let's see if he can maneuver here in the corner.
00:23:25N-W-O.
00:23:37Scott Hall of N-W-O Hollywood and Vince it out.
00:23:43Survey time.
00:23:44Yeah, it's.
00:23:45You never know though.
00:23:48Hey, yo.
00:23:57Yeah, it's survey time again.
00:24:06And me and Vincent want to know, is there anybody here to see WCW?
00:24:21So that means everybody here in
00:24:35Greenville came to see them.
00:24:37Sam WCW!
00:24:40Okay, here's the tricky part.
00:24:50Is everybody here to see the originals, the red hot black and white express?
00:24:57Or, or, is everybody here to see that lame wolf pack?
00:25:15Oh!
00:25:16Well, that's simple enough for me.
00:25:17The fur has it.
00:25:22Okay, okay, it's real close.
00:25:36It's real close, but survey says, one more for the good guy.
00:25:43And a member of the wolf pack tonight, Sting will get a chance at the throne and
00:25:49Goldberg in the world title.
00:25:51When we come back, ladies and gentlemen, the total package Lex Luger comes out to face,
00:25:57Scott Hall.
00:26:07The action continues on Monday Nitro.
00:26:11During the break, bringing out, almost in unison, the chant of Lee 1 Flair.
00:26:17The question remains, will we see him tonight?
00:26:20Were the rumors true?
00:26:22What is going on?
00:26:23Lex Luger comes out.
00:26:24One thing we do know for sure, Luger's teammate,
00:26:28Rose Friend Sting, in a few moments will face Goldberg for the world title.
00:26:33And here comes the total package.
00:26:46What a display of strength he put on last night.
00:26:49Got Neidhart up in that torture rack.
00:26:51Neidhart shifting his weight, trying to move.
00:26:53Looks like he was gonna lose him three or four times.
00:26:56Held on.
00:26:57Bret Hart.
00:26:58Bret Hart, I mean, his family, you know, their brother-in-law, they all look alike to me.
00:27:02Yeah, I know they do.
00:27:04But Luger comes in, you're right about the strength of Lex Luger.
00:27:09And the power of the total package.
00:27:12But now against-
00:27:14And now we have to worry about the condition of Scott Hall.
00:27:17Yeah, I think we know about his condition.
00:27:20The very sad commentary on that.
00:27:23And you know, let me say this about Scott Hall as Luger encircles the ring here.
00:27:27We all knew what Scott Hall was made of.
00:27:30We knew what type of athlete he is, he was, and still can be.
00:27:36Scott Hall is one of the finest performers in our sport.
00:27:39And I do not condone his activities, nor do I condone his allegiance with Hollywood Hogan.
00:27:47But I certainly hope Scott Hall gets some help, and I certainly hope that we can see the same Scott Hall that we've often known and knew quite well.
00:27:54One of the finest wrestlers in the world.
00:27:56One of the finest wrestlers in the world.
00:27:58One of the top five, I would say.
00:27:59I would agree.
00:28:00One of the finest wrestlers in the world.
00:28:01One of the finest wrestlers in the world.
00:28:02One of the finest wrestlers in the world.
00:28:03One of the finest wrestlers in the world.
00:28:04One of the finest wrestlers in the world.
00:28:05One of the finest wrestlers in the world.
00:28:06One of the finest wrestlers in the world.
00:28:07One of the finest wrestlers in the world.
00:28:08One of the finest wrestlers in the world.
00:28:09One of the finest wrestlers in the world.
00:28:10One of the finest wrestlers in the world.
00:28:11One of the finest wrestlers in the world.
00:28:12One of the finest wrestlers in the world.
00:28:13One of the finest wrestlers in the world.
00:28:14One of the finest wrestlers in the world.
00:28:15One of the finest wrestlers in the world.
00:28:16One of the finest wrestlers in the world.
00:28:17Another battle for supremacy among the New World Order factions and a golden opportunity for the NWO Wolf Pack to swing that balance of power back to the red and black with Sting's opportunity at a world's title against Goldberg later tonight.
00:28:33And still the uncertainty, but the excitement reign supreme in this program.
00:28:39So many rumors happen in this sport. Sometimes they almost dictate the sport.
00:28:50Yep. Right about that.
00:28:53Go ahead.
00:28:55Yeah, we just wonder if the one with Flair and the horseman, we wonder if it's for real.
00:29:04Boy, Scott Hall none too quick to hook it up here now, is it?
00:29:09Well, maybe none too able to hook it up here.
00:29:18Well, he's amusing himself.
00:29:27I wonder how amusing he'll be in the torture act.
00:29:34You know, like you said, Tony, a great athlete.
00:29:36Yes, he is.
00:29:37And you know, it's-
00:29:38It's amazing that Luger, he wants Luger to get upset, I do believe, and Luger not upset at all.
00:29:49He's claiming Luger's got oil over his body, he can't hold on to him.
00:29:54Good excuse.
00:29:55Yeah, it's an excuse. I don't know if it's a good one.
00:30:01And again, Scott Hall splits off.
00:30:03Can you imagine being a fan who got a ticket here to this event, third event ever in the Bilo Center,
00:30:12coming in here tonight and being told that Goldberg and Sting would wrestle?
00:30:17Being told that you might see Ric Flair make a return?
00:30:20I mean, it would be something that would be- that you'd want to get the program or get your tickets dubbed
00:30:28and have it autographed and have it- have a date stamped on it.
00:30:31Have it put in a frame and hang it on the wall.
00:30:33And those of you at home, roll tape.
00:30:35Put that tape in your VCRs.
00:30:39And Nitro, you do not want to miss.
00:30:41And it's Hall, coming up.
00:30:52I think the rest will stop the match, actually.
00:30:54He tripped up the bottom strand of rope, just trying to get back into the ring.
00:30:58Now Luger hooks on that side headlock here.
00:31:06Scott Hall sends him in.
00:31:07Hall, good reversal.
00:31:09Another reversal.
00:31:09Watch out.
00:31:10Almost on the outside.
00:31:12And Scott Hall having a good laugh at all of this.
00:31:17Luger is very disgusted.
00:31:19The referee, many of the fans, and of course, we are as well.
00:31:26He's in no condition to wrestle.
00:31:27Well, no, and what disgusts all of us, many things, but as much as anything else,
00:31:32is the athlete that is inside, Scott Hall, the performer.
00:31:36Nevertheless, the match does continue here.
00:31:41He has problems.
00:31:43Well, it's unorthodox, to say the least.
00:31:54He fell on his back, flipped over to the front side.
00:31:58He can even see the look of concern on Vincent's face.
00:32:07I think this is very difficult for us to even call and even react and even lend any credence to it as a competitive matchup.
00:32:17Obviously, it's not.
00:32:18It has to be frustrating for Lex Luger, also, to be involved in this match.
00:32:27Look at the referee, he doesn't really know what to do.
00:32:31Counts start to count him out.
00:32:32Scott Hall's counting right with him.
00:32:33He's looking to count it out.
00:32:39Yeah, he makes it in within ten.
00:32:43Luger grabs him.
00:32:44Luger wants to, I'm sure Luger wants to try to get this over as quickly as he can.
00:32:47What are you doing, man?
00:32:48You're messed up.
00:32:49What are you thinking about?
00:32:50You're trying to get fired or what?
00:32:51You're trying to get somebody hurt out here.
00:32:53Come on.
00:32:54Nothing on us.
00:32:55That's the best thing Luger could have done.
00:32:59That's the best thing Luger could have done.
00:33:01Uh-oh.
00:33:02Bischoff has come out now.
00:33:04We have made it abundantly clear, you know by following this program, this man is in charge.
00:33:10And Bischoff has come out.
00:33:12Luger said, hey, what are you trying to do?
00:33:14Get fired.
00:33:14What's going on here?
00:33:16He looks concerned.
00:33:16What are you doing, what are you telling you, boss?
00:33:23What do you say, boss?
00:33:24Look back in the house.
00:33:31You don't know, son.
00:33:32No, I don't usually agree with Bischoff, but I'm agreeing with him here.
00:33:37Uh-oh.
00:33:38Oh my.
00:33:50Wolfpack in the house.
00:33:53And Bischoff, Bischoff is saying the right things here.
00:33:58But you're right, Wolfpack in the house,
00:34:01and Bischoff not realizing.
00:34:04I think he does now.
00:34:14What are you so worried about?
00:34:15Since when you so worried about me,
00:34:17where were you at my life isbit of.
00:34:22It's just a real start.
00:34:26Where are you and your lifedepが?
00:34:30Backup.
00:34:33Frontier-Oge team, Frontier-Oge team or
00:34:33Frontier-Oge team or Frontier-Oge team or Frontier-Oge team
00:34:36and over the building.
00:34:39This matters, man.
00:34:42And Brian.
00:34:43He's got a good ball.
00:34:45He's got a good ball.
00:34:47He's got a good ball.
00:34:51Amazing scene.
00:34:53Amazing scene.
00:34:55Bischoff out with members of the opposite side of the N.W.O.
00:34:59Nothing you can really say.
00:35:01We're taking a step really out of what you see here in the ring,
00:35:05and what you witness in the ring,
00:35:07a man whose life has fallen apart.
00:35:09Whoa!
00:35:11I'm certainly not part of the shots here, but do we need to sell you?
00:35:31All right, Bischoff says good or great.
00:35:34I would agree with him.
00:35:36Let's do it.
00:35:37Can we?
00:35:38This is sad.
00:35:41This is really sad.
00:35:43All right.
00:35:44Fans, come on back with us.
00:35:45This is not good at all.
00:35:50Fans, the only thing I can tell you is James J. Dillon is making his way to the ring.
00:35:53Dressed in the tuxedo, on the edge of what could be one of the most exciting moments in the history of Monday Nitro.
00:36:06Could this be it?
00:36:08Could it be?
00:36:09Could this be the reformation of the Horsemen?
00:36:12J. J. J. have the microphone.
00:36:15Talk to us?
00:36:16The.
00:36:20I would like to ask the enforcer Oran Anderson to cut to the ring.
00:36:26James J. Dillon, the longtime leader manager of the Four Horsemen.
00:36:38Now in the WCW front office and I tell you, Arn Anderson is looking too cool.
00:36:43That is one dapper enforcer.
00:36:57You're not kidding, didn't we?
00:36:59I have known Arn Anderson since 1984.
00:37:02And what he's done the last couple of weeks in our sport.
00:37:13Has been exciting, and we're on the threshold of something really big here.
00:37:23Get to it, J.J.
00:37:25Arn and J.J. together.
00:37:29I had a private conversation with you since you and
00:37:33I last appeared publicly in a ring such as this.
00:37:38And I feel that I owe it.
00:37:41I owe it to you.
00:37:43I owe it to all these great fans.
00:37:45And I owe it to myself to share with them publicly what I said to you privately.
00:37:51And that is the fact that I owe you an apology for the things that I said to you.
00:37:59Though my intentions were good, I meant well.
00:38:04Quite frankly, a friend doesn't say to another friend the things that I said to you or put you in the position that I put you into.
00:38:12And for that, I owe you an apology and hope that you will accept my forgiveness.
00:38:18Can you smell it, J.J.?
00:38:28Take a breath.
00:38:30Can you smell it?
00:38:31When 15,000 people blow the roof off a place, that's what a pop smells like.
00:38:46Take a bow.
00:38:50What you said to me is what all those people have been saying to me for a year and a half.
00:39:01And only a true friend would say that.
00:39:03They said, Arne Anderson, stand up and be a man like you've always been.
00:39:09And I couldn't hear those words, because something was in the way.
00:39:17And I'm gonna start at the beginning, because you have to start at the beginning,
00:39:21because tonight is a new beginning for the Four Horsemen.
00:39:24Now, when I was a kid, like all kids, people asked you, what do you want to be when you grow up?
00:39:36There was no gray area for me.
00:39:38Always you, I wanted to be a wrestler.
00:39:41And when that finally happened for me, it was the proudest day of my life.
00:39:45And then in 1986, I started coming to these towns, just like Greenville, South Carolina.
00:39:54As a horseman.
00:39:58And my life changed forever.
00:40:00And the doors that opened for me, I had never dreamed of.
00:40:04And wrestling the greatest wrestlers in the world, in a town like this and all across this country,
00:40:09showed me who I was.
00:40:11And every day that I woke up since then, I tried to uphold the standards that we,
00:40:17you and I, and the rest of us set for ourself.
00:40:21Then about a year and a half ago, I laid down on an operating table.
00:40:26And when I woke up, Arne Anderson, the wrestler, was dead.
00:40:29And I thought to myself, how could I be a horseman if I couldn't be a wrestler?
00:40:34Well, the fact is, I couldn't in my mind.
00:40:37We won't wear, we won't wear, we won't wear, we won't wear, we won't wear, we won't wear, we won't wear, we won't wear, we won't wear, we won't wear.
00:40:49Trust me, everybody's gonna get what they want tonight.
00:40:54tonight. Bischoff. Eric Bischoff. So when I thought I could no longer be a horseman,
00:41:07Chris Benoit came to me first. And he said, this can all happen. And with that prelude,
00:41:14I would like to bring the other three horsemen down right now.
00:41:24This is history. Steve Mongo McMichael, come on down.
00:41:54Chris Benoit, come on down.
00:42:38What excitement, huh?
00:42:48We'll let it speak for itself here.
00:42:53Dean Malenko, come on down.
00:43:23Now, before we go any further,
00:43:38Chris Benoit, you got this thing rolling.
00:43:50And I'm going to go on record as saying that there's a finer wrestler in all the land than you,
00:43:55I don't know who it is.
00:43:57Your intensity, the first time I saw you wrestle, made you something special.
00:44:02You're something special in my eyes.
00:44:03You knew what it meant to be a horseman.
00:44:05You will carry that tradition way past the year 2000.
00:44:09Mongo McMichael, you're hard-headed.
00:44:21A lot of times, you're hard to be around.
00:44:23But the fact is, in my eyes, you're all man.
00:44:27You're certainly all pro.
00:44:29And when this is all said and done, if I've got anything to say about it, you will mean to this sport what you meant to the sport of pro football.
00:44:38Now, Dean Malenko, I've been out here yakking for the last 10 years about what it meant to be a horseman, work ethic, respect for the business, respect for each other, respect for the people that came before us.
00:44:55And while I was yakking the last year and the last couple of months, you were out there fighting the fights for the horsemen.
00:45:03You exemplify what a horseman has always meant, overachievement.
00:45:10Being the very best you could be each and every day of your life, whether you were sick or hurt or whatever the case may be.
00:45:18And it makes me proud.
00:45:19Now, I'm gonna say one more time, I said that you didn't get it.
00:45:24Well, I didn't get it.
00:45:25Because if there was ever a horseman, it makes me a little misty-eyed and a real proud to call on this day.
00:45:33The finest thing you can be in the sport of professional wrestling, that's a horseman.
00:45:39Ladies and gentlemen, through the year 2000, we're gonna do exactly what all of you across this nation have asked.
00:45:49Arn Anderson, bring back the horseman.
00:45:52But I feel it fair to tell you, I'm not gonna be responsible for what happens next.
00:45:58Because we don't wear white hats, we're not nice guys.
00:46:03And I can tell you this, heads are gonna roll.
00:46:07So, you said it, be careful what you wish for, because now you have it.
00:46:15What a goof, what a goof, you know, I get accused of getting racked in the head a few times and
00:46:26having a little touch of Alzheimer's.
00:46:29My God, I almost forgot the fourth horseman, Rick Sclair, go down here!
00:46:34Here we go!
00:46:36Here we go!
00:46:45Here we go!
00:46:47Here we go!
00:46:51One week ago, ladies and gentlemen.
00:47:14When Mark McClary is 62,
00:47:17the announcer said you always know where you'd be on that show.
00:47:21You were a part of wrestling history, he is back.
00:47:37Look at the emotion in that man's eyes.
00:47:41That tells the whole story.
00:47:42Boy, it sure does, Mike Tenet.
00:47:44Words just do not do this moment justice.
00:47:51Look at the respect they show, the Nature Boy.
00:48:34Oh, that looks good.
00:48:37I'll give you the chance.
00:49:21Thank you very much.
00:49:36I'm almost embarrassed by the response, but when I see this, I know that the 25 years
00:49:51that I spent trying to make you happy every night of your life was worth every damn minute
00:50:00of it.
00:50:04Somebody told me that the Horsemen were having a party tonight in Greenville.
00:50:20Could that be true that the most elite group that Eric Bischoff said was dead is alive and
00:50:35well?
00:50:37Bischoff, this might be my only shot.
00:50:42And I gotta tell you, I'm gonna make it my best.
00:50:46Is this what you call a great moment in TV?
00:50:55It's wrong because this is real.
00:50:58This is not bought and paid for.
00:51:01It's a real life situation.
00:51:05Just like the night in Columbia, South Carolina.
00:51:15When you look at me, tears in my eyes, and said, God, that's good TV.
00:51:21It was real.
00:51:23Art Anderson passed the torch.
00:51:27It was real, damn it.
00:51:29You think Sting was crying in the dressing room like I was on TV if it wasn't real?
00:51:37This guy, my best friend, is one of the greatest performers to ever live.
00:51:46And you, you squashed him in one night.
00:51:54Then you get on the phone and tell me, disband the Horsemen, they're dead.
00:52:02Disband the Horsemen.
00:52:05Me.
00:52:07You know what?
00:52:09I looked at myself in the mirror the next day, and
00:52:14I saw a pathetic figure that gave up and quit.
00:52:20And from that, I owe you, the wrestling fans, I owe these guys an apology.
00:52:33Because it won't happen again.
00:52:36We'll re-head and fix off for no matter what you think.
00:52:42You missed him.
00:52:47No.
00:52:48This is my champion.
00:52:49You're an overburied asshole.
00:52:51That's right.
00:52:54You're an obnoxious, you're an obnoxious, overburied ass.
00:53:02Abuse of power.
00:53:04You, abuse of power.
00:53:07Cut me off.
00:53:08Come on.
00:53:09You will never, ever wrestle on my cover.
00:53:12Abuse of power.
00:53:13You suck.
00:53:14You are, I hate your guts.
00:53:17I hate your guts.
00:53:19I hate your guts.
00:53:21My house.
00:53:22Sean.
00:53:23You're history.
00:53:25You are a liar.
00:53:27You're a cheat.
00:53:29You're a scam.
00:53:30You are a no good son of a bitch.
00:53:34You're history.
00:53:35Fire me.
00:53:40I'm already fired.
00:53:42Fire me.
00:53:43I'm already fired.
00:53:44Fire me.
00:53:45I'm already fired.
00:53:46Fire me.
00:53:51Wow.
00:53:52Ladies and gentlemen, that was the greatest moment in the history of this television program.
00:53:57Bar none.
00:53:58Bar none, that was the greatest moment we've ever witnessed.
00:54:02How do you follow that?
00:54:03Man, tears welling up in the eyes.
00:54:06Holy smokes.
00:54:07You saw it all.
00:54:08I'm so glad I was here for that.
00:54:11Goosebumps.
00:54:13And you know, speaking of just selfishly, I was there when they started.
00:54:20And I'm thrilled to be here when they were reborn.
00:54:25And they're still chanting.
00:54:26They're chanting Goldberg's name.
00:54:27Goldberg's name.
00:54:28Diamond Dallas Page.
00:54:29We want to bring him out.
00:54:31Goldberg and Sting still to come.
00:54:32And we want to bring Diamond Dallas Page out.
00:54:34Not only congratulating, because he won War Games last night.
00:54:40But also, he's got to be wondering about what's going to go down here tonight.
00:54:45I mean, he thought, hey, it'd be Goldberg.
00:54:48That's right.
00:54:49But what if Goldberg were to lose to Sting?
00:54:52What if Sting was the world's heavyweight champion?
00:54:55Exactly right.
00:54:59Page up in the stands.
00:55:01First time in my career, I'm speechless, gentlemen.
00:55:05That was a great, great moment.
00:55:08DDP coming to our broadcast location.
00:55:15He's going first up into the stands, it looks like.
00:55:20Want to get a headset on and sit down here?
00:55:40Hey, hey, Red Hot, congratulations on your win last night.
00:55:46I want to be, wait, before we get into that.
00:55:48I want to be the first to welcome back the Nature Boy.
00:55:52It was a big moment.
00:55:53Now, Page, we want to go to the stills from last night, because any time you win War Games,
00:55:58you come back with injuries, cuts, bruises, and bangs.
00:56:00Let's go to it.
00:56:01And let's have you talk about it here a little bit, because it was a match of attrition,
00:56:06and it was a match where, well, Hollywood Hogan had Stevie Ray as in as his Hitman,
00:56:11but it was you with that diamond cutter on Stevie Ray that prevailed.
00:56:15Well, you know, the secret of diamond cutters, you never know where it's coming from.
00:56:19Bottom line is, when I got pulled out of the way, and I saw my opening, I just dove,
00:56:23I've been clear across the ring, caught him, banged him, and got out of there with a win.
00:56:27So now it's all about Goldberg, so that's what I'm all about.
00:56:30Yeah, but it could be about Sting.
00:56:31I mean, Goldberg and Sting coming up, you never thought about this in the mix.
00:56:34Exactly, and that's just how WCW is, you never know what's gonna happen here.
00:56:38So I'm out here, I've seen Foreman do it a bunch of times, coming out here.
00:56:42I'm not gonna do a little bit of color on this, and just come out here and
00:56:45give my opinions on this match.
00:56:46Hang with us, man.
00:56:47I'm down.
00:56:48Okay, we know the Diamond Dallas page is gonna be at Halloween now, but
00:56:51who will it be, Goldberg or Sting when we come back?
00:56:54Goldberg and Sting will hook it up on an unforgettable Nitro.
00:56:57Stay with us.
00:57:04The shadows have unleashed a forgotten soul, awakening evil within.
00:57:17Releasing the havoc that is Halloween.
00:57:22Snickers presents Halloween Havoc.
00:57:25Sunday, October 25th, live and only on pay-per-view.
00:57:28Call your cable or satellite company to order now.
00:57:32Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, the tradition continues here on WCW Monday Nitro on TNT.
00:57:51The tradition of another spectacular main event.
00:57:56Tonight, superstar versus superstar for the heavyweight championship of the world.
00:58:06Are you ready?
00:58:09Greenville, South Carolina, are you ready?
00:58:20With the thousands in attendance and the millions watching around the world.
00:58:33Ladies and gentlemen, let's get ready to rumble.
00:58:43How can you pull up a crowd any more than they're pumped up tonight?
00:58:49Gonna bring out Sting.
00:58:52Gonna bring out Goldberg.
00:58:53Diamond Dallas Page is still with us in our broadcast location.
00:58:56Be kind of a four-man team and that's all right with us.
00:58:59And now, making his entrance to the ring.
00:59:02Wearing the red and black of the NWO Wolfpack, 6'3", weighing 253 pounds.
00:59:13He is, without a doubt, one of the true superstars of professional wrestling in the world today.
00:59:19A man of few words, who lets his action in the ring speak for him.
00:59:25He is the man with the Stinger Splash.
00:59:28The master of the Scorpion Death Lock.
00:59:31Ladies and gentlemen, he is the man known as Sting!
00:59:38And he's got his game face.
00:59:41No stranger to the World's Heavyweight Championship or the high-profile matchups like this.
00:59:46DDP, what was it like to be in the cage with Sting last night?
00:59:49I'll tell you, it was intense, but more than that, I remember back when I faced him for the world title.
00:59:54And I didn't know what was coming, either the Scorpion Death Lock or Death Drop.
00:59:59You can take it out anywhere.
01:00:04What a phenomenon.
01:00:07Goldberg and the excitement that he has generated in our spot.
01:00:12And what is different about the excitement he has generated is that he has generated the excitement
01:00:19by wrestling and not talking.
01:00:21Very few interviews.
01:00:23A man of few words and a man of diamond Dallas Page knows very, very well.
01:00:28143 and 0 is his record.
01:00:33Lurel's heavyweight title on the line.
01:00:35And I think there's a lot of people that owe Diamond Dallas Page a debt of gratitude.
01:00:40Because DDP, you were the very first man to make contact with Goldberg.
01:00:46And you were the man that took him to the WCW power plant and introduced him to professional wrestling.
01:00:51Yeah, but it wasn't really quite like that.
01:00:52I met him eight years ago.
01:00:53You know, we were toasting beers together.
01:00:55And ten minutes after we met each other.
01:00:57And ten minutes after that, I knew this guy.
01:00:59He had it, man.
01:01:00I could tell by the look in his eyes and how much heart he had.
01:01:03And for, you know, over a six-year period, you know, we'd work out at the gym or whatever.
01:01:07And while he was working, you know, playing in the NFL, I tried to bring him in.
01:01:11And he just wasn't ready yet.
01:01:13But when he was ready.
01:01:15He's ready.
01:01:16Yeah, he came knocking.
01:01:17And the power plant, you talk about, you know, that's where I pretty much grew up in this business.
01:01:22And so did he.
01:01:23He sucked it up like a sponge like someone I ain't ever seen.
01:01:26And I got a lot of respect for this cat.
01:01:28And a lot of guys are threatened when new talent comes in.
01:01:32Well, this is not—it's threatening.
01:01:34But to me, it's, you know, electrified.
01:01:46A lot on the line here.
01:01:48143-0.
01:01:50And that goal, the round is waiting.
01:01:52We're gonna see you jack up now.
01:01:58We've been jacked up for three hours.
01:02:03Man.
01:02:07We told you this was a nitro for the time.
01:02:14He is six feet five.
01:02:16He weighs 290 and one-half pounds.
01:02:19He has a following like no other before him.
01:02:22He has been victorious in 143 matches without a loss.
01:02:26He comes as an opponent with the power spear
01:02:30to the inverted lift and slam to victory.
01:02:33Ladies and gentlemen, he is the undefeated,
01:02:38undisputed WCW NWO
01:02:43Heavyweight Champion of the World.
01:02:45And he is Goldberg.
01:02:51I'll tell you one thing right here.
01:02:52I'm telling you, he's gonna have the biggest test
01:02:54he's had since Hogan in Sting,
01:02:56because Sting studies everybody just like I do.
01:03:00Look at his face.
01:03:01He's in it, man.
01:03:03You wanna hear an incredible stat?
01:03:05Goldberg still has not celebrated his first anniversary
01:03:09of wrestling competitively as a pro.
01:03:12That will be next week.
01:03:14That's right.
01:03:15We're, what, eight days away.
01:03:1622nd of September.
01:03:17So it will be next Monday night
01:03:18will be his one-year anniversary.
01:03:20And here we go.
01:03:22Not doing too bad for a rookie.
01:03:23No, he's wasting no time.
01:03:26Sting is up.
01:03:27He's not intimidated by Sting's reputation at all.
01:03:34He's a heavyweight champion of the world.
01:03:37What a display of just brute force and strength
01:03:39on the part of the champion.
01:03:41Send Sting in.
01:03:42Sting moves out of the way.
01:03:44Sting, anybody will take.
01:03:46Cat like quickness.
01:03:48He can pick up Goldberg.
01:03:49Look at this.
01:03:50Look at this.
01:03:51Oh, my goodness.
01:03:55That's 295 pounds.
01:03:57This is what I'm talking about.
01:03:58Sting's got his face on, brother,
01:03:59and he's in it right now.
01:04:01And as far as I'm concerned,
01:04:02Goldberg is in his biggest test today.
01:04:05He pops back up.
01:04:07He beats Sting up.
01:04:09No effect with the vertical suplex
01:04:10and Sting bails out to the floor.
01:04:12Okay, it's a darn good move.
01:04:15Who wouldn't?
01:04:17I mean, Sting, it's almost a shock.
01:04:20A shock, disappointment combination on his face.
01:04:23That just proves that no matter how much videotape you watch,
01:04:27until you're actually in the ring for the first time,
01:04:29that first physical confrontation,
01:04:31there's no way you can prepare for Goldberg.
01:04:35No, he's just too awesome an athlete.
01:04:38Fans, as you know, we're scheduled to go off the air at 11 o'clock Eastern,
01:04:42but stay with us.
01:04:44We're in overtime.
01:04:46Big time overtime.
01:04:48And we like it.
01:04:50We're still chanting Goldberg.
01:04:55We're gonna stay with it the entire way here tonight.
01:05:02Exchanging blows now.
01:05:04Sting wanted to punch it out.
01:05:05I think maybe that was a mistake, Paige.
01:05:06I wouldn't go for that.
01:05:07I wouldn't go for that.
01:05:08I'd go for the quickest,
01:05:09and Sting's one of the quickest guys in the business right now.
01:05:11Counting away, bring Sting down, and now we'll bring Sting back up to the vertical base.
01:05:21If he doesn't stay on Sting when he's got him down, he'll pull it out.
01:05:24Runs over Sting with a shoulder tackle.
01:05:28A lot of momentum.
01:05:29There's the quickness that we've come in.
01:05:31No!
01:05:32Sweet!
01:05:33Whoa!
01:05:34What was that sweet?
01:05:35Look how fast he gets up!
01:05:37Kicks him in the gut again.
01:05:38He got right back up.
01:05:39There's his patented leg takedown that time.
01:05:43Working on the ankle.
01:05:44Ankle lock submission hold.
01:05:45Very fortunate for Sting that he's close to the ropes.
01:05:48Yeah, you know he's in there.
01:05:50Goldberg has run through them all, but in there against a veteran.
01:05:53Sting knowing his wear back to the ring, knew he was in the ropes.
01:05:58Sting's frustrated.
01:06:02I don't know where his head's at right now.
01:06:03Yeah, one would think, but you know what I mean?
01:06:05If you compare the two, Sting, think about the many big, big matches.
01:06:10Big moments Sting has faced and witnessed.
01:06:13But Tony, everyone's different.
01:06:15Sure. Every big match is different.
01:06:16This is a big match, a gigantically big match.
01:06:22Right now, you talked about Sting being maybe confused,
01:06:26not knowing what to do next, that side headlock.
01:06:29Maybe trying to rethink the strategy.
01:06:31But he holds on.
01:06:32He sure does.
01:06:35This is exactly where I would have went.
01:06:36I would grab a hold on the big man, and I will try to do that.
01:06:39If it's him, I'm in there with.
01:06:40At this point, you don't know where it's going.
01:06:42Sting or Goldberg.
01:06:43To me, two of the greatest champions ever in our sport,
01:06:46and I plan on being the next one.
01:06:48That'll come up on the 25th of October at Halloween Havoc,
01:06:51based on his big win last night, Paige, at War Games.
01:06:55As we said, we're past the 10 o'clock hour.
01:06:58We're gonna stay here, as we told you.
01:07:00We'll tell you again until we get a winner.
01:07:03Well, right after 11 o'clock now, Eastern Time.
01:07:06I tell you, I'm glad we've seen this match first,
01:07:09because Sting wrestles very similar to how I wrestle.
01:07:12And I wanna see how he's gonna handle this with Goldberg.
01:07:15And, you know, I'm taping it.
01:07:19Well, Paige, when you get down to it,
01:07:20you, all the great stars, you gotta use your stuff.
01:07:23I mean, I know you gotta really vary your offense
01:07:25based on your opponent, but when it gets down to it,
01:07:27you gotta use the things that you know best to win a match.
01:07:30Well, I've got a vast repertoire, and so does Sting,
01:07:32and so does Goldberg.
01:07:33A lot of people think that Goldberg's a two-move wrestler.
01:07:36He's not. No.
01:07:39That's another thing you have to take into account,
01:07:41the submission holds that Goldberg can use also, Paige.
01:07:44Paige.
01:07:48Cast an eye towards the referee.
01:07:50Quickly over to Silverman.
01:07:52Backs out of the way.
01:07:53Got Sting in a corner.
01:07:55Not being a submission wrestler, which I'm not.
01:07:57I'm a bang wrestler.
01:07:59I will be looking for that for both,
01:08:01because I have been working out for some of the guys
01:08:03in some of my free time who are submissions.
01:08:05Some of the guys from the other,
01:08:07I won't even get into those.
01:08:09Back to the corner of the go.
01:08:12Sting does not want to be caught here against Goldberg.
01:08:14Goldberg right now, you can just feel it.
01:08:16He's getting really pumped up.
01:08:18He cast an eye towards the referee.
01:08:20He picks up Sting.
01:08:21Maybe a pile driver here.
01:08:22Sting's fighting it.
01:08:23Look at this.
01:08:24Sting got him going the other way.
01:08:25Jimmy Fursten.
01:08:27Beautiful.
01:08:29He ain't popping up out of that.
01:08:31No, he's not.
01:08:32He's trying to get up, though.
01:08:34I've never seen anybody else get up after that.
01:08:36Not that quickly.
01:08:37Look at the traps on him.
01:08:38No.
01:08:39Look at the traps on him.
01:08:40No!
01:08:41That's one.
01:08:44Sting thinks this is the moment.
01:08:46No!
01:08:47This could be it.
01:08:51Look at that.
01:08:52He just refused to come out of the corner.
01:08:57He's gonna try it again.
01:08:59And he couldn't make it again.
01:09:01Goldberg shrugged it off.
01:09:03He went to Sting.
01:09:04And Sting moved out of the way.
01:09:12What a move.
01:09:13What a counter move.
01:09:14And Sting to the legs.
01:09:15Beautiful.
01:09:16You're not kidding it was.
01:09:17What a move that was.
01:09:18Get him down and keep him down.
01:09:20Here he goes.
01:09:22He's got him.
01:09:24He's gonna turn him.
01:09:25He's gonna turn him.
01:09:26Kenny.
01:09:28Goldberg look at him fight it.
01:09:30You're not kidding.
01:09:31Put his weight on his arms.
01:09:33Sting still does not have him over.
01:09:35But Goldberg.
01:09:36He's got him.
01:09:37Scorpion applied.
01:09:38Look at Goldberg just.
01:09:40He just outmuscled him.
01:09:42That's what he did.
01:09:43No he didn't.
01:09:44No he didn't.
01:09:45Sting got the.
01:09:46He's got the leverage.
01:09:47He's got the balance.
01:09:48And the referees check him with Goldberg.
01:09:50That's the best thing Sting could do.
01:09:51He had to sit down on him.
01:09:52He's got no way to keep him down.
01:09:53He ain't got him locked in right now.
01:09:54He ain't got him locked in.
01:09:55You're right he doesn't.
01:09:56It's almost a death lock at this point
01:09:58instead of that Scorpion.
01:10:00Look at Goldberg.
01:10:01This has never happened fans.
01:10:02The people don't know where to go on this.
01:10:04This has never happened.
01:10:06No.
01:10:10Never before has anyone, any referee asked Goldberg if he wants to admit or not.
01:10:14A deep seated gap.
01:10:16The disgust you heard was because Hogan is out.
01:10:19Goldberg just trying to block the pain out.
01:10:21Look at Hogan get in the ring.
01:10:22Come on.
01:10:23Come on.
01:10:25He kicked Sting in the back of the-
01:10:28Did the referee see that?
01:10:29No, he didn't see it.
01:10:30Look at Silverman.
01:10:31And Goldberg-
01:10:32He don't know what happened.
01:10:33Goldberg-
01:10:34He is such a jealous SOB.
01:10:36He don't wanna see- Sting had him right there.
01:10:40He was beat.
01:10:41You're right.
01:10:42He didn't wanna see that happen.
01:10:43And Goldberg-
01:10:46He is scum.
01:10:48Goldberg didn't see it.
01:10:49The referee didn't see it.
01:10:50Sting didn't even know what hit him.
01:10:53Come on.
01:10:56All right, Diamond Dallas, full of disgust.
01:11:01The spear.
01:11:03One, two, three.
01:11:05And up.
01:11:06Jackhammer.
01:11:09One, two, Goldberg wins again.
01:11:12And Hogan's in.
01:11:14From behind as usual.
01:11:16What a coward.
01:11:18What a lobe-like coward.
01:11:21Didn't want anybody to win but him.
01:11:24That's right.
01:11:25With one good leg.
01:11:27Coming in to help out Goldberg.
01:11:33Goldberg retains the title, goes to 144 now.
01:11:41The boos you hear are for Hogan.
01:11:48And still Goldberg and the referee, they still don't know what's going on here.
01:11:52You know, I'm a big Goldberg fan, but I'll tell you, if it wasn't for Sting, he'd have lost it.
01:11:58If it wasn't for Hogan coming down, you're right, Sting had him.
01:12:01Sting had him.
01:12:02I believe you're right, we would have seen the end of a superior reign.
01:12:08Bret Hart is letting Goldberg know what went down now.
01:12:13Wow.
01:12:14Sting was kicked in the head, literally knocked out even before the smear.
01:12:18Leaving to Hogan to take the end of a remarkable program.
01:12:25For all of us at WCW, a night we'll never forget.
01:12:37Goldberg helps Sting up, and we'll see you next week.
