00:00:00It's WCW Monday Nitro.
00:00:29Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Volunteer State of Tennessee.
00:00:32Welcome to three hours of pro wrestling's champ,
00:00:35Monday Nitro is live on TNT.
00:00:40And tonight at the UTC Arena in Chattanooga.
00:00:44WCW and the NWO together welcome you to professional wrestling's number one program.
00:00:51And what a week in span.
00:00:53Needless to say, professional wrestling, our grand sport is reeling.
00:00:58On the heels of the announcement by Hollywood Hogan this past week.
00:01:04As a matter of fact, it happened Thanksgiving night on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno,
00:01:08when Hollywood Hogan announced that he was retiring from professional wrestling,
00:01:13to devote full time in seeking the presidency of the United States.
00:01:19Hollywood Hogan made it clear, Tony, he has run the New World Order.
00:01:24Now he wants to run the country.
00:01:27There is no question about that, ladies and gentlemen.
00:01:29And that has been the topic of discussion everywhere I've gone,
00:01:33especially back in the locker room with the wrestlers.
00:01:37And we can only wonder what that does to the NWO black and white.
00:01:42And hi, once again, everybody.
00:01:44It's Tony Ciavone along with the living legend, Larry Zabisco.
00:01:48The professor, Mike, today is not with us this week.
00:01:50Mike, a little bit under the weather.
00:01:52Hopefully, he'll be back with us on Thunder on Thursday night in Memphis, Tennessee.
00:01:57The living legend, we're gonna talk in a minute about Hollywood Hogan's retirement from pro wrestling.
00:02:02But tonight on this program, are you ready for this?
00:02:05We have the contract signing between Goldberg and Kevin Nash for the world title match coming up at Stargate.
00:02:12Those two will be here in the ring to sign the contract.
00:02:15Obviously, the red and the black have their opportunity.
00:02:18Kevin Nash survived a very confident man, and the red and the black has an opportunity to beat the unbeatable.
00:02:26And Diamond Dallas Page and Bret the Hitman Hart will go at it one-on-one as we talked about for the US title.
00:02:33We talked about it last week.
00:02:34They'll have that match later on.
00:02:36And what about now Hollywood Hogan retiring from pro wrestling?
00:02:39At first, we thought it was maybe a lark.
00:02:41It wasn't for real.
00:02:42But the man's serious now, Larry.
00:02:43Hollywood is serious.
00:02:46Unfortunately, he can't run the New World Order and the country at the same time.
00:02:50He had to pick one or the other.
00:02:52We'll find out what happened.
00:02:53It happened Thursday night on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
00:02:56Nothing less than a blockbuster from a man himself, Hollywood Hogan.
00:03:00And we're awaiting the arrival of NWO black and white.
00:03:03What will they have to say in the wake of all this?
00:03:06We'll be back, fans.
00:03:10Back on an explosive Monday Nitro.
00:03:12The limousine has arrived, and we touched on it during the course of the commercial break right before it, Larry.
00:03:18The reaction now from NWO Hollywood, the NWO black and white, founded, led, I guess many people can say, by Hollywood Hogan.
00:03:27He's no longer in pro wrestling.
00:03:29How will they react?
00:03:30What will they do?
00:03:31Well, what usually happens to the sheep when the shepherd takes a vacation?
00:03:36The sheep wander.
00:03:37We've already seen dissension.
00:03:38We've seen a so-called for life member of the New World Order, Scott Hall, now supposedly ousted out at wherever he is.
00:03:47Obviously, there's gonna be a lot of problems in the NWO.
00:03:52There you see Big Papa Pump, Vincent the Giant, that referee of theirs still unnamed, and that's fine with us.
00:04:00Bryan Adams, T.B. Ray, and there is Eric Bischoff, who has been by the side of Hollywood Hogan through thick and through thin.
00:04:08He has been his number one man, there's no question.
00:04:11So you know that they're walking in here, and they thought long and hard.
00:04:15It happened, as we said, Thanksgiving night.
00:04:17It all went down bad, and we'll just see, wait and see exactly what they have to say.
00:04:22But we understand, as they come into the UTC arena here, that they will go directly to the ring.
00:04:28So we'll follow them all the way in, and they'll make their big announcement.
00:04:31This is cutting-edge stuff.
00:04:33This is exciting stuff.
00:04:34I tell you, you may hate them, and we do, but I'm very interested to see what's gonna happen now with NWO black and white.
00:04:40Yeah, well, let's see whose ego emerges here.
00:04:42I mean, if you want to make a little side wager, and you look for Eric Bischoff to grab the mic and try to become their leader.
00:04:49I mean, he was always there with Hollywood Hogan, but then again, who's gonna listen to a little pipsqueak like Bischoff?
00:04:55Is he gonna control the Giant? Is he gonna control Big Papa Pump?
00:04:59I mean, it's gonna be interesting, Tony.
00:05:02Well, Larry, he is the boss. He is in charge, and thus he controls the purse strings.
00:05:07And when you control the purse strings, you control things that happen.
00:05:11When you get to a certain point, money becomes meaningless to egos and struggle for power.
00:05:16A lot of these guys coming out, they don't need money.
00:05:19Wrestlers are multi-millionaires now.
00:05:21We all wear Rolexes and live in the suburbs, so money is good to a point,
00:05:26but then ego is a much, much stronger motive when the bank account is full.
00:05:33Well, here they are, and you hear the reaction of the fans.
00:05:36Horace is there with them, and I don't know if it's birthright or not, but Horace is a family member of Hollywood Hogan.
00:05:43Maybe he's gonna assume leadership, but it'd be interesting to see.
00:05:46It's a very solemn look on the face of Eric Bischoff, and we usually see a very-
00:05:51Big smile, yeah. A big smile or smirk, yeah.
00:05:54Ugly teeth everywhere.
00:05:55You know, Hogan made one interesting point.
00:05:57If they had an election today, who would you vote for, Hogan or Smith?
00:06:02I tell you, the country's in trouble.
00:06:05Now, that wasn't an interesting point, and I thought Hogan did a heck of a job at fielding the questions from Jay Leno,
00:06:11and the big announcement came down Thursday night.
00:06:14Well, everybody's promised a chicken in every pot.
00:06:17Let's see who can deliver.
00:06:19All right, all right, all right, all right.
00:06:26Before we go any further, let me introduce the heir apparent of Hollywood NWO,
00:06:35Big Papa Pump.
00:06:39Give it up for the man.
00:06:40The heir apparent?
00:06:41How about that, fans?
00:06:43I mean, Big Papa Pump, is the man here?
00:06:48I want anybody in this building right now to put their heads down in a moment of silence for
00:06:58the greatest champion that ever lived, Hollywood, Hulk Hogan.
00:07:04He's lying already.
00:07:06That's what they think, Larry.
00:07:08I mean, they really think that, and a case can be made for that.
00:07:11I mean, think about what Hogan has meant to this sport through the years.
00:07:15I know the last couple have not been at all pleasant, but you can understand this.
00:07:20But if you people don't think Hollywood is watching this show right now, you are sadly mistaken.
00:07:28Because see, I just flew in from LA on the NWO private jet, and Hulk Hogan, with his blessings,
00:07:45made me the new leader of the NWO black and white.
00:07:50You see, Hulk Hogan was the originator of the 24 inch pythons.
00:08:04Hulk Hogan was the originator of the largest arms in the world.
00:08:11And Hulk Hogan is and was the biggest star in professional wrestling today.
00:08:19So it's no mystery why he made me the new leader.
00:08:28Because now I have the largest arms in the world.
00:08:34I am the man with the biggest peak in the world.
00:08:40Sounds like Roman.
00:08:41And I am the man with the greatest body in professional sports.
00:08:46Can't argue with that either, actually.
00:08:51What you see behind me is a band of thieves.
00:08:56People don't care about nobody or about anything.
00:09:01So when I'm the new leader, we're like rabid dogs.
00:09:05And we're gonna take care of business the way the NWO has always done it.
00:09:11He has the same charisma as Hogan.
00:09:16Well, here he is.
00:09:18And after talking with Hollywood Hulk Hogan this morning,
00:09:25our first order on agenda is to take care of somebody that left the NWO.
00:09:37See, the NWO is for life.
00:09:41And you have no choice in the matter when you leave.
00:09:50So Scott Hall, you are our first order of business.
00:09:59Tonight, we're gonna make you pay.
00:10:03Tonight, you're gonna wish you never were in the NWO.
00:10:09Scott Hall, I got Hollywood Hogan's nephew as my partner, Horace.
00:10:30Scott Hall, you find a partner.
00:10:34Cuz tonight, the NWO, black and white, is gonna bury you.
00:10:41How about that?
00:10:44First order of business is to dismantle Scott Hall, and they told him to find a partner,
00:10:50because waiting in the wings, the new leader, Big Papa Puppet Horse.
00:10:55Big night of WCW Monday Nitro, and Big Papa Puppet, you don't necessarily like him,
00:11:03but you gotta agree with a lot of things he said during that speech, or that filibuster, if you will.
00:11:10You know, it's interesting that they've picked Big Papa Puppet to be the heir apparent to Hollywood Hogan.
00:11:17He's gonna have a big pair of shoes to fill, and obviously a porter of the day, Dan Scott Hall.
00:11:25How interesting is if you see a member of the Wolf Pack, the red and black people,
00:11:30the team that has a chance to get the gold.
00:11:34And of course, you're alluding to big sexy Kevin Nash, who will sign the contract tonight in the ring,
00:11:42to make it official for Starrcade in Washington.
00:11:47Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're back in the dirty south, and I likes it like that.
00:11:51So, yo, yo, yo, let me speak on this.
00:11:53Orale!
00:11:56Arriba la raza!
00:12:00Yo, you know the black and white be talking about that for life.
00:12:03For Wolf Pack, somos unos vatos locos forever.
00:12:08But more importantly than all that, the Wolf Pack in Chattanooga's body about it, eh?
00:12:13Body about it!
00:12:16Great reception for Conan, and they're standing here at the UTC Arena.
00:12:20Yes, we are on campus, and of course, we are the sensation in college campuses,
00:12:25high school campuses, and middle school campuses all around the globe.
00:12:31This is Monday Nitro.
00:12:32This is where the stars are, and this is gonna be our first bout.
00:12:36It's gonna be a title match, as Chris Jericho and Ralfus, his security director,
00:12:43come out to defend the bout against Konash.
00:12:47I don't know if I feel safe being guarded by Ralfus.
00:12:50Well, one thing you can say, I don't think many people would approach you,
00:12:53or come close to you, with that man standing next to you.
00:12:58Hey, you wouldn't know what you'd catch.
00:13:03Boy, he's keeping an eye on, look at that!
00:13:06He's standing behind Jericho, Dan, look!
00:13:09This is the, uh, the, uh...
00:13:11Ralfus doesn't have any teeth, this!
00:13:13Yeah, I look at that, and I want to remind the boys back home,
00:13:16always brush your teeth twice an egg.
00:13:23I'd say, Jericho's gonna be focused here.
00:13:25His competition is, uh, very, very capable.
00:13:28Conan, great submission wrestler, tough on the match.
00:13:32And he's gonna give Jericho everything he can handle and more.
00:13:35Jericho gets a little cocky, he may wind up looking like Ralfus.
00:13:41There is no question, this is the most exciting time of year,
00:13:44to be a fan of pro wrestling, to be a fan of WCW.
00:13:48When you think about Starrcade on the horizon,
00:13:50this is the last day of the month of November.
00:13:53December means Christmas, it means the holidays.
00:13:56It means a lot of things to a lot of people, but to wrestling fans,
00:14:00it means Starrcade.
00:14:02And later on tonight,
00:14:05the biggest contract signing of the year will take place on this program.
00:14:08And Conan trying to keep Jericho off his feet there early.
00:14:12And whips him down, Larry.
00:14:14So he wants to keep Jericho on the mat.
00:14:16Well, Conan's just a tough mat wrestler.
00:14:20That would be his best bet, is to clip the wings of Jericho.
00:14:23But Conan can keep up with him.
00:14:24He's from the Mexican style.
00:14:26I mean, he lives with the luchador way of life right there.
00:14:29Nail him underneath the chin.
00:14:31Conan can compete with Jericho on his feet in the air or on the mat.
00:14:35So we'll see how many legal loopholes Jericho can use
00:14:39to hold on to that television championship.
00:14:42He's gonna need them all here.
00:14:43Well, that's one thing he's always done.
00:14:45That's been able to hold on to the belt regardless by loopholes like you talked about.
00:14:50But also you can't deny that Jericho is a fine athlete.
00:14:54Of course, he comes from an athletic background.
00:14:56His father a fine player in the National Hockey League.
00:15:00Ted Irvine was a great hockey star during his years.
00:15:03He's been on this program.
00:15:05He's been on Thunder.
00:15:06And of course, Chris Jericho grew up in an athletic background.
00:15:11And it's really, if you strip all the Ralphuses away and all the loopholes away,
00:15:15and the way he cuts his hair or puts his hair up in that bun of his,
00:15:19you find a great athlete who's on the receiving end of some stick right hands here from Conan.
00:15:24Conan showed him just how great it is right there.
00:15:27Conan, look at Jericho, looks like a hit for him.
00:15:35Jericho trying to get back up, and he does.
00:15:38He goes right to the midsection.
00:15:39Jericho showing us what he's made of.
00:15:41He absorbed all of that in the corner, now sending the ropes.
00:15:44He runs over K-Dawg.
00:15:46Now, look at this, a little strutting maybe over.
00:15:49He goes.
00:15:50Conan back up.
00:15:51He knew what it was.
00:15:52But he telegraphed it to Jericho.
00:15:55And Conan with a seated dropkick, putting Jericho's back to the mat.
00:16:00Yeah, Jericho can get fancy, but this is not the man to get fancy with.
00:16:05Scott Hall has had a challenge put to him.
00:16:10We know that Scott Hall is here.
00:16:12Find yourself a tag team partner tonight to face the new leader of NWO black and
00:16:17white, Big Papa Pump and Horace later on tonight.
00:16:21We already know DDP will face the one and only Bret the Hitman Hart.
00:16:27One of the most dangerous men later on tonight.
00:16:30Nice move by Jericho right there.
00:16:32Caught Conan off guard.
00:16:34If I asked Jericho, I wouldn't be wasting time.
00:16:37Conan will get his win back quick here.
00:16:40Conan's in fine shape right over the top.
00:16:43Chop as he was springing over the top rope all the way to the floor.
00:16:48Uh-oh, Jericho getting the steel steps.
00:16:52He's gonna take the low road here now.
00:16:55Chop seemed to try to stagger him a little bit more.
00:17:00He's sitting under the steps.
00:17:02And I really think that time, Larry, lucky for Conan to bounce it first instead of the head or the face.
00:17:08Yeah, at least he didn't get the sharp steel, you know, breaking into the ribs.
00:17:12So the back, as painful as it is, at least you got a lot more absorption of shock back there.
00:17:19Conan may have lucked out, may have not, but at least Jericho threw him back in the ring.
00:17:23That's where you beat the man.
00:17:24Jericho, gotta get nasty here.
00:17:26Jericho, we've seen this so many times.
00:17:32I don't know what he thinks.
00:17:33That's not nasty, that's cocky.
00:17:35That is cocky.
00:17:36That is just to show up your opponent.
00:17:38And I think as we've seen from other opponents, including a young man named Bobby Duncombe Jr.,
00:17:43that just serves to really fire up the opponent.
00:17:46But right now, Chris Jericho is in command.
00:17:49Jericho, who has talked about it recently, developed his wrestling style and his skill in Calgary under the guidance of Stu Hart.
00:18:00So you know he's tough.
00:18:03And now the world television champion is in command of this match as the referee, Mickie J., looks on.
00:18:09Got Conan down, thanks to the steps.
00:18:11But at least Jericho, again, used the outside of the ring to his advantage.
00:18:16He's staying on Conan.
00:18:18Jericho's not dumb.
00:18:20He was as physical as he was mental with the legal loopholes.
00:18:25He could be a complete package here.
00:18:27Well, Larry, you've always been an advocate of being aggressive, staying on to your opponent,
00:18:30and Jericho is doing nothing of the kind right now.
00:18:32As a matter of fact, it's almost been a day from the bottom to the top of the turnbuckle.
00:18:37Time elapsed, getting up top, and now, Tony has his main blow and kisses.
00:18:41Finally decides to go off, and he's paid for it.
00:18:44Man, Conan's not the man to showboat against.
00:18:48K-Dog back up, tumbling through.
00:18:50With the guard.
00:18:51Conan, trying to regain his composure to get the offense going his way.
00:19:01Ducks his head, telegraphed it, hooked here.
00:19:04No, reversed it.
00:19:05Bridge, suplex, two, and he almost got it.
00:19:09Only a two count, though.
00:19:10That was a great counter move that time by Conan.
00:19:12I thought Jericho had the advantage off the ropes.
00:19:15Well, he did, but again, Conan can turn it around quick.
00:19:17For every move, there's a counter, there's a reversal.
00:19:20Conan knows them all.
00:19:22Jericho right there, using his ability, and it was a nice move.
00:19:26This could be it.
00:19:27The Lion saw it into a two and only a two, and now it seems as if Jericho has picked up the pace here a little bit.
00:19:33Come on.
00:19:34He's getting frustrated for his efforts, but frustrations can't slow you down.
00:19:38Forget them, kid.
00:19:39Keep pressing on.
00:19:40Jericho's not doing it.
00:19:42He's moving in too slow.
00:19:44You're watching two of the great young stars, two of the great veterans in our sport.
00:19:48And they're going out of here.
00:19:50Reverse spin wheel kick, and yes, young star and veteran, you can say that in the same sentence.
00:19:55You can.
00:19:56Well, yes, you can, of course.
00:19:57Ah!
00:19:58But they started at an early age, one, two, almost got it, couldn't hold him down.
00:20:06But then Jericho's tough, and Conan's starting to feel the frustrations now.
00:20:10Help me.
00:20:11Jericho's getting up quicker, though.
00:20:13Now both men trying to pull themselves up slowly here.
00:20:17This is for the world, a television championship live on Monday Nitro,
00:20:22the first of three colossal hours for you here on TNT.
00:20:26Waistlock forward roll that time.
00:20:29Jericho did not stay down.
00:20:30He's going for the lion table.
00:20:32He's going for it.
00:20:33He's gotta step over.
00:20:34Look at Conan trying to fight him off.
00:20:36He's trying to hold onto his ankles to keep Jericho from turning over.
00:20:39He turned over.
00:20:40He's close to the ropes.
00:20:42And the ropes will call for the break, and that was great maneuvering that time by Conan.
00:20:48But Jericho thinks he's won the match.
00:20:51When the referee taps you on the back, he taps you when you win or you break the hole.
00:20:55Right, I understand that.
00:20:56He's got the belt.
00:20:57He swings it wildly.
00:20:58The match is still going on.
00:21:00Jericho's head meets the belt.
00:21:02Conan covers, and Conan hits it.
00:21:05Conan wins it.
00:21:10I tell you the Wolfpack, Tony, they're on a roll.
00:21:15Kevin Nash has the opportunity of a lifetime, and Conan has the Television Championship.
00:21:22He earned every bit of that one.
00:21:24There it is.
00:21:25The new owner of the gold.
00:21:27The new World Television Champion.
00:21:29Member, yes, of the Red and the Black.
00:21:32The Wolfpack is K-Dog.
00:21:34And they're celebrating here.
00:21:36As a matter of fact, Luger comes out.
00:21:38There's Kevin Nash.
00:21:39Big Sexy.
00:21:40They're out to celebrate with Conan.
00:21:43That was a gutsy win by a fine athlete from the Wolfpack.
00:21:48It was a good match, too.
00:21:49Again, Jericho a little too cocky and got confused in the ring.
00:21:55Right there, the Red and Black around the world.
00:21:57Look at Conan right here.
00:21:58He saw Jericho trying to hit him with the belt.
00:22:00Jericho confused, but that confusion led to a big opening.
00:22:05Conan took advantage of it.
00:22:07Man from the street he has.
00:22:09He's got wisdom in that ring, and look at this.
00:22:11Jericho rattled up real nice over the shoulders.
00:22:15The Red and Black's got the momentum.
00:22:18And I understand from our producers, we're trying to find that Conan music video right now
00:22:22to play for you to help celebrate this win.
00:22:25Unexpectedly, they have found the video.
00:22:27Okay, it's time to roll it.
00:22:29Conan's music video.
00:22:31He's the new World Television Champion.
00:22:33And then back in the ring with a big interview.
00:22:37I carry my life around with me in a seat-thru bag.
00:22:46And you always remind me why I'm enojado.
00:22:49Different faces, different stages.
00:22:51And the same ones who hate me say they're my friends.
00:22:54Bato, bato, bato, how do you make this get down?
00:22:56Mad ones and one is the only one who freaks the sound.
00:22:59Two deep pullin' checks like a David Copperfield so let's up.
00:23:02Sign this bill, lona, two inch bill.
00:23:04I smash the rabbit out your hat and choke.
00:23:06Yeah, I know you don't get a dick with the dog, with the esquelet to kick him with the
00:23:08jaw.
00:23:09If you don't spin the vinyl.
00:23:10Revolutionary mind.
00:23:11But they let me in a while.
00:23:12Someone, please, unchain my brain from the wall.
00:23:13You can blame it on the drugs, or you can blame it on the alcohol.
00:23:17Revolutionary mind, but they lay on me a while
00:23:20Someone please unchain my brain from the wall
00:23:23You can blame it on the drugs or you can blame it on the alcohol
00:23:25Ashes to ashes and back to dust
00:23:28And before I go through, believe I'm a bust
00:23:31Ashes to ashes and back to dust
00:23:33And before I go through, believe I'm a bust
00:23:36Who do you ever settle to the clock?
00:23:38It's the M-A-D-O-N-E going psych
00:23:40Who do you ever settle to the clock?
00:23:43It's the M-A-D-O-N-E going psych
00:23:45How many lyrical paragraphs must I put you in a dent?
00:23:49In order for a fool to make his dollars in his sense
00:23:51Chale con pol├нticos y presidentes falsos
00:23:54Lo tienen viviendo en pobreza descalzo
00:23:56Loca es mi vida, por eso escribo rimas
00:23:59I got to release the pressure and take drastic measures
00:24:01I'm standing on the outside and I'm looking in
00:24:03Watching all my friends, not confessing all my sins
00:24:06Smile in the pen, smile investors or have you
00:24:08Catching cases, lying down the runway on high speed chases
00:24:11I gotta be true to this game of rap
00:24:13It's either that's a wee speed, hell or window crack
00:24:16It's like that
00:24:17So there's paperwork and A&R, fancy cars
00:24:19Get them superstars, don't forget who you are
00:24:22I still represent those buried in the soil
00:24:24Uncle Sam is scattings, hitting drink off the foil
00:24:27Ashes to ashes and back to dust
00:24:29And before I go through, believe I'm a bust
00:24:32Ashes to ashes and back to dust
00:24:34And before I go through, believe I'm a bust
00:24:37Who do you ever settle to the clock?
00:24:39It's the M-A-D-O-N-E going psych
00:24:41I must confess, my life is a mess
00:24:49And if there's a God up in heaven, then they hate me cause I don't feel blessed
00:24:53I'd save my hand from San Diego to New York
00:24:55Call all your soldiers cause this street we hold court
00:24:57Welcome to the Blacksport to kill if there's a rap
00:25:00Now how will you react, believe your stains across the map
00:25:02Cause the road that I'm on is too bumpy
00:25:05And every time I see a hooter I can jump
00:25:07Before I'm left laying on my back
00:25:12Swearing at the clouds
00:25:13Or raising the dirt on my way to meet my maker
00:25:15The clock was cast the papers when I'm trying to make my paper
00:25:18Ashes to ashes and back to dust
00:25:20And before I go through, believe I'm a bust
00:25:23Ashes to ashes and back to dust
00:25:25And before I go through, believe I'm a bust
00:25:28Who do you ever settle to the clock?
00:25:30It's the M-A-D-O-N-E going psych
00:25:33All right, having a little fun with Conan here tonight
00:25:55As part of WCW Monday Nitro on TNT
00:26:00Ladies and gentlemen, at home, turn up your television set
00:26:04Cause we're gonna heat it up right now
00:26:06As I present to you, the former 13-time heavyweight champion of the world
00:26:13Ladies and gentlemen, the Nature Boy, Rick Flair
00:26:19What a program this has been already
00:26:24And we still have
00:26:26In this program
00:26:28DDP and Bret Hart
00:26:30And the contract signing
00:26:31Between Goldberg and Kevin Nash
00:26:34And here comes Rick Flair right now
00:26:37Eric Bischoff's worst nightmare
00:26:41Is walking down to mean Gene Oberlin
00:26:44They're standing, almost standing in honor
00:26:48Almost standing in attention
00:26:50To the man himself
00:26:51Rick Flair is in the ring
00:26:54With a mounting open
00:26:55Let me turn this volume down
00:26:59Before Flair screams out mean Gene
00:27:01All right, here's the man
00:27:10That's been there and back
00:27:11Four horsemen
00:27:12Former world champion
00:27:13A guy that has done it all
00:27:15In this great fort for so many years
00:27:17Rick Flair
00:27:18I don't care where I go, my friend
00:27:20People confront me at airports
00:27:22Restaurants, hotel lobbies
00:27:24They want to know what's happening
00:27:26Between Rick Flair and Eric Bischoff
00:27:29You know Gene
00:27:36There is a time in my life
00:27:43For there has come a time in my life
00:27:47When I gotta walk down this aisle
00:27:51And instead of going, Mean Gene
00:27:55I gotta, I gotta focus
00:27:58Because Bischoff, somewhere, in a trailer
00:28:04In a dressing room, at home, in a helicopter
00:28:08Wherever you are, Big Shot
00:28:11I want you to hear this
00:28:14Everybody knows I'm old, according to you
00:28:19But getting old, brother
00:28:21Is one thing, getting great is another
00:28:26And since Wahoo McDaniels, Johnny Valentine, Ricky Steamboats, Sting, Lex Luger, Hall, Nash, Savage, Hogan, The Road Warriors, Double A, Ole Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Barry Windham and myself, those are the people that come out of the world.
00:28:49That make you what you are, past and future
00:28:55You knock them all down at one time or another, Nate
00:28:59There's a whole bunch of us
00:29:01Some of them are dead, some of them are alive
00:29:04I stand before you
00:29:06I'm disappointed in Barry Windham
00:29:09I'm mad at hell at you
00:29:12Cause you got no guts
00:29:14You got no class
00:29:16You got no responsibility
00:29:18You are an abusive power
00:29:21And you can bleep it, you're an asshole
00:29:24If you wanna fire me, fire me
00:29:36But make this known
00:29:38In your neighborhood, tomorrow
00:29:40A 12 year old kid's gonna say, Ric Flair called you out
00:29:44He's old, can't you beat him?
00:29:46A 10 year old down the block's gonna say, Bischoff, Ric Flair called you out last night
00:29:51Ted Turner's gonna look across the board of directors and say, did Flair call out Bischoff last night?
00:29:58They're gonna say, yeah
00:29:59Bischoff, they're all gonna look at you
00:30:01And they're gonna say
00:30:03That, I want you to hear this
00:30:08Let me have it
00:30:09They're gonna say, that old man of diminished skills called you out
00:30:16I wanna wrestle you here tonight, tomorrow, this week
00:30:22I'm about to bow
00:30:24You and I are gonna have it out once and for all
00:30:30You, me, come jump on this old man, woo!
00:30:39I don't think it gets any stronger than that, ladies and gentlemen
00:30:42The challenge from Ric Flair to Eric Bischoff
00:30:46I hope you're listening
00:30:47Stay tuned, we're gonna be right back with more Nitro
00:30:50My
00:30:51Flair has snapped
00:30:53Yeah, yeah
00:30:54And we love it
00:31:00Well, a few moments ago, we were all witnessed to Conan's big win as television champion
00:31:06We're gonna go back and relive some of the celebration that took place afterwards
00:31:10Big Sexy came in, this all happened, of course, during the music video, during the commercial break afterwards as well
00:31:17Right before Ric Flair came on, and there's the celebration, the Wolfpack
00:31:21You gotta say, Larry, they have the momentum right now, don't they?
00:31:24Yeah, I said it before, and of course, Kevin Nash, very confident man
00:31:28Now we've got confidence and a goal just laying across the shoulder of Conan, Lex Luger
00:31:34The Wolfpack is in much better shape than the former Team Hollywood, I guess
00:31:39Now the black and the white New World Order
00:31:41And how about the comments of one Ric Flair, Scott Hall comes walking out with, well, with no music
00:31:49I guess he's not with any group right now, but I wanna get your opinion on what Ric Flair had to say
00:31:56He called out Bischoff, he said, I want you tonight, I want you tomorrow night, I want you next week, I want you next month
00:32:02It doesn't matter, he's called Bischoff out, he wants him in the ring
00:32:06I know what Ric Flair was talking about, I understand the situation, and I understand the insult to tradition Bischoff is
00:32:13You know, last Stargate, I had the privilege and the pleasure of rubbing Bischoff's face in the mat
00:32:19And I would love to see Flair do it, Flair called him out, let's see if Bischoff's got the guts to try it again
00:32:26Now let's see what Scott Hall has to say, based on the challenge by Big Papa Pup and Horace
00:32:32to find a partner for later on in the program
00:32:35Hey, yo
00:32:39I was in the back
00:32:45and I heard Big Papa Pup and the rest of the black and white
00:32:51talking about how they wanna beat Scott Hall up tonight
00:33:00Well fellas, in case you haven't noticed
00:33:04getting beat up is what I do
00:33:09The only problem is
00:33:11I ain't got too many friends
00:33:14So I'll certainly fight you one on one
00:33:18Cause from here on out I guess I'm doing everything all alone
00:33:31They don't fight one on one
00:33:33So Scotty Steiner and Horace Hogan
00:33:37You so excited about carrying on that family name
00:33:41Hey, you guys wanna fight Scott Hall
00:33:44You got it
00:33:46Does that mean he's gonna take both of them on?
00:33:48He said one on one, but Scott Hall has agreed to it
00:33:51But he has no tech team
00:33:54We had no friends
00:33:56Hold on here
00:33:59Big smiley
00:34:05Hey yo
00:34:06You and I haven't seen eye to eye in quite some time
00:34:15But I'll tell you something right now
00:34:17You need somebody to be a tag team partner
00:34:20I'll be your Huckleberry
00:34:22Oh my
00:34:23Oh my
00:34:29Is it for real or
00:34:30Yes, we're gonna see it
00:34:31Hall and Nash will be together as a tag team in this program
00:34:38How about that?
00:34:40That's gonna have big pop up pump in the back pumping
00:34:45And incredible turn of events have occurred here tonight on this program
00:34:52Not only the contract signing with Goldberg and Kevin Nash still to come
00:34:57Not only Diamond Dallas Page defending the US belt against Bret the Hitman Hart
00:35:04But now Scott Hall has found a partner in his former tag team partner
00:35:09And best friend Kevin Nash has left a big pop up pump
00:35:14And
00:35:18Horace Hogan
00:35:21Later on in this program
00:35:23My goodness
00:35:26And Bischoff's been called out
00:35:28Flair has laid the challenge out
00:35:31I tell ya
00:35:32With the Hollywood Hogan not running for president
00:35:35Bischoff being called out
00:35:37Big pop up pump in charge
00:35:39Horace Hogan against
00:35:41Nash and Hall tonight
00:35:43There will be maybe no New World Order by Thursday
00:35:47No NWO black and white maybe
00:35:49We'll see fans
00:35:50That's all to come
00:35:51In this program tonight
00:35:53Three hours
00:35:54We're almost done with one
00:35:56Two solid hours to go
00:35:57And
00:35:59Raven has come out with candy
00:36:01Although he seems like
00:36:03Going to sleep
00:36:04Seems like he's going to sleep
00:36:05I was thinking he doesn't want to be here
00:36:07But he always
00:36:09He's nodding off here Larry
00:36:10And they're going to face the Armstrong brothers
00:36:15Scott and Steve Armstrong in this tag match
00:36:18Congratulations to Conan
00:36:20We have this tag team match
00:36:21We've got a cruiserweight title match
00:36:24To come in this program
00:36:26U.S. title made
00:36:28This program
00:36:30Is shaping up to be one of our most exciting
00:36:32In a long, long, long time
00:36:34Stick right with us
00:36:35Good to have you here
00:36:37Wherever you are
00:36:38From the United States
00:36:39Up in Canada
00:36:40Or around the world
00:36:41We're going to try to wake up Raven here
00:36:43For his tag team match
00:36:45Well I think the Armstrongs will wake up Raven
00:36:47And they're doing their best to break the family curse
00:36:50And it's going to be an interesting match up here
00:36:53Canyon
00:36:55Tremendous inside that ring
00:36:56But the Armstrong brothers are good
00:36:58I mean on paper
00:36:59They should have a tremendous win-loss record
00:37:01I think it's just the curse that holds them back
00:37:04All right, bell is sounded
00:37:07Canyon
00:37:09Did
00:37:11Usually picks up the microphone
00:37:13But had nothing to say here
00:37:15And Raven's not moved
00:37:17The bell is sounded
00:37:18If he's going to be his tag team partner
00:37:20He needs to get on the other side
00:37:22Canyon's trying to talk to him
00:37:27Listen in
00:37:29Scott
00:37:33Scott, this is ridiculous
00:37:34Liberal problems you got
00:37:35You got to leave them in the back
00:37:37Okay
00:37:39What about leaving problems?
00:37:41What about me?
00:37:43What about Raven?
00:37:44What about you?
00:37:45What about you?
00:37:47What about you?
00:37:52Affection was a commodity
00:37:54That my mother didn't deal in
00:37:57Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
00:37:59We know
00:38:01We know all about it
00:38:02Yada, yada, yada
00:38:05It's been the same song and dance for two years now Raven
00:38:08now Raven been the same thing we know you're acting just like a man-child the
00:38:15problem is yeah you had a hard childhood who didn't you blame your mom your
00:38:22mommy didn't treat you good get over it nobody loved you nobody loved you
00:38:33Armstrong's won't love them not at all the Armstrong's the bell had sounded and
00:38:37they by all rights can start this match and here they go double-teaming Canyon now
00:38:43and notice Raven is still not moved Larry obviously Raven doesn't really care that
00:38:48much about what's happening to the body oh my goodness front suplex there by
00:38:53Steve Armstrong and he almost got a three count you know little poor little me
00:38:57pity parties don't work in professional wrestling
00:39:01Raven just can't keep sitting there I mean he can but it's not going to help
00:39:05Canyon this is a one-man sit-in in a tag team match by Raven and now Canyon who
00:39:11has loads of offensive maneuvers and holds and is truly one of the innovators of
00:39:17offense has to do it alone here Canyon very tricky man to wrestle but he's getting up
00:39:24face to face
00:39:30Raven just seems bored with everything
00:39:36I have never seen anyone so self-centered
00:39:40so spoiled in my life
00:39:43I mean you know I don't want to agree with Canyon but yeah get over it
00:39:47be your own man meanwhile he decks Steve Armstrong
00:39:51and now a choke hold applied on Steve and look at Canyon he's really picked it up a
00:39:56notch here Larry he's got to he's in there all by himself Raven just flew to coop and
00:40:00he's still flying south Canyon's in there alone with two Armstrong boys he has
00:40:06completely walked out of the arena now out of the ring area and left Canyon along to
00:40:12fend against two men this is incredible but Canyon should have known better I mean Canyon really is the only
00:40:20friend the man has flat liner I tell you Canyon's a tricky man to wrestle hit a nice move right there but he just popped up
00:40:28that's his two in a row one two three the Armstrongs win the Armstrongs win
00:40:37a run up by Scott Armstrong and Canyon he had put his move on and then walked away from it
00:40:44walked away popped up again looking for Raven he's still flying south

00:41:52please join me
00:41:54as we welcome
00:41:56Bret the Hitman Hart
00:41:58Bret Hart
00:42:00what he wanted he said he would injure people right and left and we were reminded of what happened last week until he got
00:42:08Paige in the ring and Paige came out and said yeah you won it what about next week here we go
00:42:14Bret Hart's gonna come out and I guess maybe tell some more lies yes that's exactly what he's going to do
00:42:20wouldn't surprise me a bit but see how he tries to get out of this one he has been on a campaign of terror no doubt about it but it will not last forever
00:42:32all right I think we should point out for the record Bret Hart correct me if I'm wrong but it is one year tonight that you arrived here in world championship wrestling and yes you made a statement or two but you did say back in the locker room area you made no bones about the fact you weren't
00:42:38you were not a hundred percent you were kind of begging off Diamond Dallas Page and a shot at the WCW US title tonight
00:42:58I've been hurt Gene real bad
00:43:02what
00:43:04Diamond Dallas Page
00:43:06the coach
00:43:08stooped so low
00:43:10that he actually put himself on a little hit list
00:43:14he's actually sprinkling around all kinds of cash and money and little treats and rewards back there to these guys so that I actually try to end my career
00:43:22and so I guess little Dean Malenko
00:43:26hope he's proud of himself
00:43:28cuz he tried to rupture my groin
00:43:32yeah you don't appreciate it cuz you don't understand
00:43:36cuz none of you people got groins
00:43:38well now don't be too harsh here and I think we should point out for the record that that groin injury is not gonna prevent you from getting in the ring tonight
00:43:46yeah I got doctors I got trainers back there that say it can't be done I wanna do it
00:43:52as violent as violent as you've been as violent as you have been here in the last couple of months you're gonna beg off tonight with a groin injury
00:44:00I have no choice I can't fight tonight and I know Dallas we've heard this before

00:46:22what was that thing he used to say he used to say it all the time

00:46:44enough said
00:46:46Fred Hart

00:47:38well I don't know what went down right there
00:47:40but what we have as a result now
00:47:42is going to be
00:47:44a no disqualification match
00:47:46later on tonight for the US title
00:47:48I don't believe Bret Hart
00:47:49I don't believe anyone in this arena does
00:47:51in the back or in the audience here
00:47:53but he will go in the ring
00:47:55against DDP tonight
00:47:56no disqualification
00:47:57you know that's interesting
00:47:58a guy comes out has a whole bunch of doctors
00:48:01in the back all kind of notes
00:48:03and now he wants a no disqualification match
00:48:05Tony that's the most brutal kind of match
00:48:09that means the rules are out the window
00:48:11that means there will be anything from steps to safety rails
00:48:15whatever they can get their hands on
00:48:17Diamond Dallas is ready
00:48:19Bret Hart like Diamond said best liar there is was and ever will be
00:48:23very brutal match no disqualification
00:48:26as Diamond Dallas said in the ring moments ago that Bret Hart said he was going to have a hit list of men he was going to take down until he got the match against Diamond Dallas
00:48:36last week he had an injured D Malenko until DDP came out
00:48:43out of the stands and he gets there with a tear in the gut
00:48:48he's going back after the leg
00:48:50and his tender of heart was sending a message to DDP that was almost like a diamond cutter that he used on Malenko onto the steel chair
00:48:57I noticed that too Mike
00:48:59he missed
00:49:01Paige is back up
00:49:03look at the face of Diamond Dallas, Paige
00:49:07that pure hatred
00:49:09And I'm trying to diamond cut him right now.
00:49:15And Hart's trying to fight him off.
00:49:17DDP, the U.S. champ daring him to come back in the ring.
00:49:27Next week, right here on Nitro, I'll take you, Brett.
00:49:34You wanna know why?
00:49:36Because I get all jacked up when you feel the-
00:49:53So now it's been made into a no disqualification match that we will have for you.
00:49:58Ric Flair also wants Bischoff, he said it didn't matter when.
00:50:01Tonight is as good as any.
00:50:03We have not heard a reply from Bischoff as of yet.
00:50:07If you'll accept the match or win the match will be or anything.
00:50:11Plus, Paul and Nash have agreed to be back together again for this one time.
00:50:17As they will face later on, the new leader of NWO Hollywood or
00:50:20NWO black and white if you will, Big Papa Pop and Horace Hogan.
00:50:24Good to have you with us for the beginning of this hour number two.
00:50:34We'll let you know that next week,
00:50:36Monday Nitro will originate from the Astrodome in Houston.

00:51:22Kidman and Eddie Guerrero for the Cruiserweight belt.
00:51:29And this is a return match of sorts because on Saturday,
00:51:32in a non-title bout, Eddie Guerrero got a win over Kidman.
00:51:36And now the belt's on the line here.
00:51:37And you know Kidman's gonna be focused here, Larry Zubisco.
00:51:39Well, he better be.
00:51:40Eddie Guerrero, very, very good.
00:51:42And he's already starting the psychological warfare against Kidman.
00:51:47And ooh, that's one way to start it.
00:51:52Drop kick in the back of the head.
00:51:53And Kidman, it doesn't take much to get his dander up.
00:51:56And the Cruiserweight champ goes in with restless abandon.
00:52:00And Eddie is up to the task here.
00:52:01You see, Eddie wants Kidman to lose emotional control.
00:52:04He wants him to get confused.
00:52:06Eddie's a hothead, but he can handle it.
00:52:08Kidman will be better off maintaining his focus and being slow.
00:52:12I've seen Kidman have some great matches lately.
00:52:14The kid's got ability, got to use his brains in there against Guerrero.
00:52:19Speaking of emotional control, fans, up and over, takes Eddie down.
00:52:24What about Ric Flair and the emotions running?
00:52:26I think we can figure out Ric's lost emotional control.
00:52:29I believe he has, the emotions running rampant.
00:52:32I've known Ric Flair for many, many years, a close friend.
00:52:36I haven't seen him that way in a long, long time.
00:52:39And he means business, he wants to end it all tonight.
00:52:42On the right side, against Bischoff, he's called him out.
00:52:46Speaking of being out, on the up side, up against this safety rail,
00:52:51actually up against the steel steps, is one Kidman, the Cruiserweight champ.
00:52:56Yeah, Eddie threw him in there.
00:52:57And these Cruiserweights don't have a lot of meat on their bones to absorb that shock.
00:53:01Kidman's heart, and he's still using those steps.
00:53:06Eddie, oh, look at, oh, he sandwiched the legs between the steps
00:53:12and that hard ring post, Larry.
00:53:13That's gonna ground Kidman, and one of Kidman's effective weapons,
00:53:16of course, most Cruiserweights is the movement, is the speed,
00:53:20and Kidman looks grounded.
00:53:23In addition to all the great matches, we have still lined up for you tonight.
00:53:27The contract signed in, the document to make it official.
00:53:31Goldberg and Kevin Nash will be in the ring to sign the main event that
00:53:37Kevin Nash earned when he won World War III a few weeks back in Detroit,
00:53:43at the Palace of Albert Hill.
00:53:44That, of course, event set for December 27th at Starrcade at the MCI Center in Washington.
00:53:50Eddie with a shoulder breaker, and then he's working out, went to work on the legs,
00:53:54and now goes to the arms here, Larry.
00:53:56Well, he grounded Kidman, now he's got him hooked in there.
00:53:58Nice little arm bar there, twisting it around, but notice where he sits his weight.
00:54:02Sits his weight on Kidman.
00:54:03That makes Kidman waste all the energy trying to get out of this predicament.
00:54:07Eddie Guerrero's right now in control.
00:54:10In control, can he win the Cruiserweight belt, fans?
00:54:13That remains to be seen as he continues to focus on the arm here, on the wrist.
00:54:17Just driving Kidman down to the mountain.
00:54:20Referee checks in, we've got a commercial break.
00:54:23These tape machines are rolling.
00:54:25Should the match end during the break, we'll show you what happened.
00:54:27But if not, back with more of this Cruiserweight title, that's live on Metro.
00:54:31We're back here looking live as the match continues with the Cruiserweight belt.
00:54:36And during the entire commercial break, Larry, he is focused on one part of the body of the arm.
00:54:41This is very sound strategy.
00:54:43Well, Eddie Guerrero's kept him down, and that's very smart.
00:54:46Eddie, very good on the mat, very good in the air.
00:54:49Actually, pound for pound, one of the best wrestlers in the world.
00:54:52He's on his own campaign of hate or whatever.
00:54:56But right now, he's got Kidman in trouble.
00:54:58You can see that extra experience Eddie Guerrero has is shining through.
00:55:02Here's a hook and a brain buster.
00:55:09Eddie, one of his patented weapons now, puts Kidman down.
00:55:15And it could be now, right at the edge here, of becoming the WCW Cruiserweight champ.
00:55:21But no, wasted too much time.
00:55:24That's a cardinal mistake.
00:55:26It happens so much now in pro wrestling, wasting too much time to get up top.
00:55:30Well, you know, it's not easy to climb up top fast.
00:55:34Eddie held on right there, but again, you got the sweat.
00:55:36You got the boots that slip on the ropes, and it's hard to get up fast without falling.
00:55:43It's a double-edged sword, high-risk maneuvers.
00:55:45But right there, again, Eddie got the better of Kidman.
00:55:48And he hooks him again, up at Kidman in middle.
00:55:57It's amazing, absolutely amazing.
00:56:00And a cover, one, two, but couldn't hold him down.
00:56:03Only got a two count, Eddie back to the attack quickly into the turnbuckle pad, far side.
00:56:09I've been very impressed with Kidman in the past.
00:56:11I mean, the guy will not give up, will not quit.
00:56:13You think you got him, can you find out like Eddie, he keeps coming at you.
00:56:18And now Kidman, a little anger coming out here.
00:56:21Kidman uncharacteristically just going off on one Eddie Guerrero.
00:56:26And Eddie begs out into the ropes.
00:56:31I think Eddie wanted him into the ropes.
00:56:32Eddie tried to get out the eyes, but did not work.
00:56:35And Kidman with a powerbomb, one, two.
00:56:39God, I couldn't get those legs up high enough.
00:56:42Now, you're right, couldn't get them across the shoulders of the head of the Latino
00:56:46World Order, Juan Eddie Guerrero, forearm shot into the face.
00:56:50Here we go, for the ride, pick up, and he holds on this time, nicely done.
00:56:56I tell you, Kidman, you gotta give him credit, he will not give up.
00:57:01He's coming, and Eddie, Eddie's pulling ahead on points here.
00:57:06Kidman, this could be it.
00:57:07Yeah, DDT, and now Eddie just drags him to the center of the ring, wanting to make,
00:57:12I thought maybe he's trying to go for the lateral press, but no.
00:57:16He probably put him in position for his strong splash.
00:57:19And if he connects after that DDT, he's gonna win this thing.
00:57:22Kidman's up.
00:57:23Kidman is up again.
00:57:25And again, two times in a row, Eddie too slow, getting to the top turnbuckle.
00:57:30Kidman.
00:57:31Superplex from the top turnbuckle.
00:57:36Can he make a cover?
00:57:40He's got him, he's up.
00:57:41Here he goes.
00:57:42I have to hook him.
00:57:43Did not hook him, Larry.
00:57:46Good call that time, and easily, the right shoulder found its way out.
00:57:50But Kidman, as you can see, he's dazed, he's winded,
00:57:54he's fighting on instinct right now.
00:57:55Yeah, you know, it's easy to sit here and pick out the mistakes in the ring.
00:57:58It's a different game, and now Kidman's holding his own.
00:58:03That time he split him around, and Charles Robinson got clipped.
00:58:08The referee, I think, was knocked out of the ring, I'm not sure.
00:58:12But I do know he was hit.
00:58:13He is outside, as you can see, there's Charles Robinson.
00:58:19The match keeps going on with the referee.
00:58:22He's going up top.
00:58:27I don't know if you realize there's no reference.
00:58:29And he veered to the left at Kidman, and kicked to the tube.
00:58:35And now, look, Rey Mysterio Jr.'s come out.
00:58:37Yeah, and he's acting awful sneaky about it.
00:58:41He sees it, he hit Eddie.
00:58:42He kicked Eddie in the back.
00:58:44Rey, who's a member of the LWO, under duress,
00:58:49as we know, kicked Eddie in the back.
00:58:52And now Kidman connects, shooting star press.
00:58:56Rey, help the referee in, this one's over.
00:58:58And now the LWO comes out, as Kidman will secure.
00:59:14Kidman and Rey being chased out together by the LWO.
00:59:19The Latino World Order was too late for that one, Larry.
00:59:25And we're going to show the fans our replay, brought to you by Glover, by Hasbro Interactive.
00:59:31All right there, I mean, nice move.
00:59:33These guys are coming down, but watch Rey Mysterio here, saw Kidman.
00:59:37Wasn't sure if he was looking for Kidman or the back of Eddie Guerrero, but nailed Eddie flat.
00:59:42Look at this beautiful move by Kidman right there, since then as Rey Mysterio Jr.
00:59:48shoves the referee in the ring, which leads me to believe Eddie Guerrero may have been the target all along.
00:59:55Just when you thought things couldn't get any crazier, by golly, would you look at this?
01:00:01The crazy and dangerous, Kidman Bigelow sitting there.
01:00:06You don't know what this man's gonna do, brother.
01:00:10He has made his appearance, unwelcome appearance known repeatedly.
01:00:14And he's got security guards around him, he is, I can tell you what's going on.
01:00:21I mean, it's very obvious, you know Kevin Nash is here, but Goldberg,
01:00:25the world champ, has not arrived yet to the arena.
01:00:28He is waiting on Goldberg to arrive for the contract signing.
01:00:33He's got himself a ringside seat, he's not doing any sneak attack tonight.
01:00:37He's making his presence known already.
01:00:40Yeah, his presence is not hard to miss, Bam Bam Bigelow sitting anywhere.
01:00:44And frankly, I'm telling you, this is a very disgusting, confusing picture.
01:00:50Eric Bischoff is out, and you know, fans, it's to answer what Ric Flair written out a few segments back.
01:00:59And of course, there's Barry Windham.
01:01:02And it was ever a blow struck to the heart of the horsemen.
01:01:05It was by Barry Windham, one week ago on this very program.
01:01:11Well, the boss got the, there's Bigelow again, the boss got the mic.
01:01:14You know, Barry, it's good to see you again.
01:01:18Especially after the last time we were together.
01:01:22And I don't know what you did for the holidays, but, you know, I went out to Cody, Wyoming,
01:01:26one of my favorite places on the face of the earth, because it helps me clear my head.
01:01:31Fresh air, the mountains.
01:01:34While I was there, a good friend of mine stopped by the house.
01:01:37His name is Levi Haugen.
01:01:39And Levi said to me something that just, it sticks out in my mind to this moment.
01:01:44He said, Eric, what we need now is another hero.
01:01:53And Levi, you're right.
01:01:55What we need now is another hero.
01:01:58With crime rates escalating around the United States, what we need now is another hero.
01:02:11With taxes, out of control, and at the same time people not being able to put food on their table.
01:02:21What the world needs now is a hero.
01:02:25With the president of your United States looking at you in the camera and wagging his finger and telling you he did not lie.
01:02:40What the world needs now is another hero.
01:02:46And I'm going to give him that hero here tonight.
01:02:53It's time to bring him out right now.
01:02:55A man who I know is standing backstage waiting for this moment.
01:03:01His day in the sun.
01:03:04His grasp of the big brass ring.
01:03:09Let's bring him out right now.
01:03:13Dean Malenko, come on down.
01:03:16I know you're back there.
01:03:19I know the Horsemen are back there.
01:03:22I heard Ric Flair's ranting and raving.
01:03:25Dean Malenko, come on down.
01:03:28What is this about?
01:03:30Can anyone explain this to me?
01:03:32I don't know, this ain't the Price is Right.
01:03:34Flanked by other members of the Horsemen, including Arne Anderson, the mentor.
01:03:40This is very, very bizarre, fans.
01:03:47Needs a little help from his friends, can't you see?
01:03:55But that's all right.
01:03:57If you get a chance, smack him in the mouth.
01:04:01Hear what Anderson said?
01:04:02If you get a chance, smack him in the mouth.
01:04:05Very good.
01:04:06You gotta be careful.
01:04:07I mean, they're gonna be the whole New World Order guys underneath the ring.
01:04:11Bishop's gonna be suckering them in.
01:04:12I'm impressed.
01:04:14Yeah!
01:04:16Malenko, whose leg took a severe beating at the hands of one Bret Hart,
01:04:22last week, has won...
01:04:23Mr. Malenko, I am indeed impressed.
01:04:27You have my respect, sir.
01:04:32You are also going to have your opportunity
01:04:36to be a hero to each and every one of these people who stood out here
01:04:41and cheered that raving lunatic, the Nature Boy Ric Flair.
01:04:47I am going to give you the opportunity that you have always wanted.
01:04:52And I'm going to give Mr. Flair the opportunity that he wants.
01:04:58He wants a piece of me.
01:05:00He wants to get in the ring with me.
01:05:02What?
01:05:02You're going to give him that opportunity, Dean Malenko.
01:05:07Do you know how?
01:05:09Why don't you tell me, Eric?
01:05:12All right, I will because I can.
01:05:16You, my friend, despite your reportedly bad leg,
01:05:21I don't know how that would have happened,
01:05:23are going to wrestle this man.
01:05:26And if you can beat this man,
01:05:30then you are going to give Ric Flair the opportunity to wrestle me,
01:05:36if that's what he wants.
01:05:40Wow.
01:05:42We got a deal, Horseman.
01:05:46Eric Bischoff, it's one thing I learned.
01:05:49A Horseman never backs down from a challenge.
01:05:52And tonight is no different.
01:05:55Why did I think you were going to say that?
01:05:58Which brings me to the next little clause in this arrangement.
01:06:04I want to introduce you to the special referee in this match.
01:06:10A man who I know has the integrity to stand in this ring
01:06:14and control the action the way it should be controlled.
01:06:17For each and every one of you Ric Flair fans.
01:06:20Okay, well, you over there in the corner.
01:06:22Dusty Rhodes, come on down.
01:06:24What's he talking about?
01:06:26Dusty Rhodes.
01:06:29This is a legend.
01:06:31This is a man.
01:06:33Who deserves your respect.
01:06:37And I can hear and feel the love in this room.
01:06:42This is a joke.
01:06:43This is a crime is what it is.
01:06:45Everything, everything is stacked now against Malenko.
01:06:52There's no way this man, what are we?
01:06:55Don't shake his hand.
01:06:57Don't shake his hand.
01:06:59Mr. Rhodes, a few words for the fans.
01:07:01I'd like to hear exactly from you whether or not you'll be able to handle this
01:07:06match in an unbiased fashion.
01:07:09If the justice will be swift and the call will be right down the middle because I've always
01:07:20stood for right and wrong and I will not let any shenanigans get in the way.
01:07:26I will make this a great contest as I call it down the middle and may the best man win.
01:07:36There you have it tonight.
01:07:38Right here, Mr. Malenko, Mr. Widom and your special referee, Big D, the Dustmaster.
01:07:45We'll be back right after this.
01:07:47How about that?
01:07:48You gotta be kidding me.
01:07:49We've gotta talk about this.
01:07:51This is a no win situation.
01:07:54Fans, we'll be back.
01:07:56I can't believe it.
01:07:59Bye, Dean.
01:08:01We're gonna go.
01:08:02We're gonna go.
01:08:03We're gonna go.
01:08:04We're gonna go.
