00:00:00I can't believe it.
00:00:02Bye, Dean.
00:00:08Welcome back, fans, to Monday Night Draw.
00:00:10We've been joined by the one and only Bobby the Brain Heenan.
00:00:14And Brain, we need to talk about what Malinko's got ahead of him in just a second.
00:00:19I want to remind you, fans, very briefly, though, this coming Thursday,
00:00:23Thunder Live on TBS will originate from the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis, Tennessee.
00:00:28Tickets available at the Box Office and Ticketmaster.
00:00:31And then on Thursday, December 17th, will be Charlotte, North Carolina Independence Arena
00:00:36for Thunder tickets at the Box Office and all Ticketmaster locations there.
00:00:41The gorgeous Nitro Girls.
00:00:44And there's AC Jeff, Spence, and Che.
00:00:47Can't get any prettier than that now, can you Brain?
00:00:50How come you know them all on first-name basis?
00:00:52Well, I have a chance to talk to those girls on a frequent basis.
00:00:56They're nice, fine young ladies.
00:00:59Very lovely ladies.
00:01:00I've been with them on a lot of on-sale tickets.
00:01:02And very nice, classy, charming ladies.
00:01:05And out there with them as well was Fire.
00:01:07She's a knockout as well.
00:01:09All right.
00:01:11It should be a good matchup.
00:01:13Brain, already Dean Malinko's leg injured.
00:01:18He's not 100%.
00:01:20But a horseman, as he said, will not back down from a challenge.
00:01:23But for Ric Flair to get a chance to get in the ring against Eric Bischoff,
00:01:27Malinko's gotta beat Barry Windham with his bad leg.
00:01:31And then, the insults of all insults, Dusty Rhodes of NWO Black & White to be the referee.
00:01:37Not only is he a member of NWO Black & White, but you well know the background with Dusty Rhodes and Barry Windham.
00:01:44Oh, there's no doubt about that.
00:01:46And Barry Windham's father, Blackjack Mulligan, a man I manage.
00:01:49I know the whole history of this family.
00:01:51They're all from Texas.
00:01:52Dusty helped break Barry Windham into this sport.
00:01:55I mean, they're all family friends.
00:01:57Malinko with a bad leg.
00:01:58If he had three good legs, four good legs, he's not gonna get a fair shot tonight.
00:02:02Oh!
00:02:03Guess what?
00:02:04It's meltdown in the middle of that brain.
00:02:07We're gonna have to talk about it a little bit later because Rath wasting no time in disposing of Bobby Blaze.
00:02:13That's gonna be a record for this big man.
00:02:15He looks awesome once again.
00:02:17Well, you know, he took it all the way with Kevin Nash the last time they met.
00:02:21Kevin Nash being the number one contender.
00:02:23This man could very well have been the number one contender.
00:02:25He gave Nash all he wanted.
00:02:27He's somebody to reckon with here, boy.
00:02:29And Nash and Goldberg, of course, still to come, that contract signing.
00:02:32Here it is again, Bobby the Brain.
00:02:34What a power on this man, Rath.
00:02:36Picks his opponent up, puts him exactly where he wants him.
00:02:39Plants him right in the middle of that match for the one, two, three.
00:02:42Another victory for the big man.
00:02:44They call Rath.
00:02:45We need to talk a little bit more about Dusty Rhodes and his refereeing in this matchup coming up.
00:02:54And still to come, as we said, the contract signing.
00:02:57Goldberg get to ride to the arena.
00:02:59But of course, we know Kevin Nash is here.
00:03:01And also Bam Bam Bigelow is here as well.
00:03:05And that spells double trouble for the World Heavyweight Champion.
00:03:09Now, I'm haunting you.
00:03:10I'm stalking you.
00:03:11I bought a ticket.
00:03:12Nothing you can do to stop me from coming in the belly.
00:03:14You try it, and I'll sue you.
00:03:16You're on fire.
00:03:17Then I'll have no luck.
00:03:18The ball ticket, and he's made no votes about it.
00:03:20He is here.
00:03:21I get you, or I get under your skin.
00:03:24Here on WCW Monday Nitro, as Bam Bam Bigelow is at ringside, and that big contract signing still to come.
00:03:31Also still to come, Bret the Hitman Hart, and injured Bret Hart, as he said.
00:03:38And now a notice qualification.
00:03:40Must be a winner of the $500 Bears for the US title.
00:03:45He talked about the contract signing about E-Malink goes back to the wall, and
00:03:50Hall and Nash will be a tag team together against Big Papa Pump and Horace Hogan.
00:03:56You might say that the Outsiders are in the house.
00:04:00They're back together again.
00:04:01Well, they're back for this matchup, and they're still, I don't think there's complete track.
00:04:07Hey, cut the music!
00:04:08Or make him mad.
00:04:11Hey, I came out here for one thing.
00:04:17Then whooped somebody in here today.
00:04:19Hey, brother, you about to sit down.
00:04:24If you throw that down here, I'm going to come up there and kick all your teeth out of your mouth.
00:04:28Both of them.
00:04:29He can do it.
00:04:31Now sit your ass down and enjoy the show.
00:04:34Now, let me tell you chump something.
00:04:39If there's anyone out there who want to try some of this, come on.
00:04:44Anybody?
00:04:45Anybody?
00:04:46Anybody?
00:04:47I thought so.
00:04:48You a bunch of chumps.
00:04:50All you people, you make me sick since I can't get nobody out here to fight me.
00:05:00You sit down.
00:05:05You sit down too.
00:05:07Let me get somebody out the back to fight me.
00:05:10I think, someone has appeared.
00:05:13He'll fight you.
00:05:14What do you want?
00:05:15You're not kidding, he'll fight you.
00:05:17It's Perry Saturn.
00:05:19One of the toughest men in pro wrestling.
00:05:23Let's hear it brother, you stop right there.
00:05:30You hear me?
00:05:32Now, it was one thing that I was taught when I was a young black belt.
00:05:38It was to protect the weak.
00:05:41And brother, you weak, you let Sonny beat you.
00:05:44So listen, I'm gonna protect you.
00:05:49I'm gonna leave this ring today, right now, and not rip you apart, son.
00:05:55You hear me?
00:05:56I'm gonna do this because I'm a good black belt.
00:05:59And everybody here know this.
00:06:01So I'm gone.
00:06:06Ernest, that sounds like an excuse.
00:06:09If you're scared, say you're scared.
00:06:12He caught his bluff on this one's what he's done.
00:06:16You know, you talk too much.
00:06:18You gonna make me rip your small head off your big body, beater juice.
00:06:25Now, but I'm gonna tell you something.
00:06:27Since I'm the greatest, I'm a fair person.
00:06:29If you beat Sonny here, then I'll give you your match.
00:06:33Who's Sonny in?
00:06:37Sonny doesn't like Sonny.
00:06:40No way.
00:06:41He's pretty upset.
00:06:42Hold on a second.
00:06:43Like I said now, if you can beat Sonny, I'll give you the match.
00:06:47He said he buzzed him with something, and Sonny all of a sudden changed his tune and
00:06:54readily agreed to it.
00:06:55I mean, Ono, who is a fine karate fighter, tournament fighter as well,
00:07:00has his street clothes on, and he's walked right into Saturn.
00:07:04And Saturn's got him.
00:07:06He's got him up.
00:07:07Way up and down.
00:07:09Services for Sonny will be in about ten seconds.
00:07:12I believe.
00:07:13And Ernest Miller goes down the count.
00:07:14One, two.
00:07:19Hold on a second.
00:07:21Anyone could have counted to three this match.
00:07:26Glacier.
00:07:27That's Glacier.
00:07:28Where did Glacier come from?
00:07:32He wiped out, he wiped out Saturn.
00:07:35Did he ever.
00:07:36Saturn's out, and no, it hasn't been put out.
00:07:39Oh, no, this can't be.
00:07:40He got out.
00:07:41Oh.
00:07:42Oh, he got out.
00:07:44That means there is still a breath in his body.
00:07:47You're not kidding, it is.
00:07:48Sonny, get moving.
00:07:49Out of the building.
00:07:50He just pitched something to Sonny.
00:07:52Like a chain, it looked like.
00:07:53Yeah, exactly.
00:07:54You caught a brain, and you should know.
00:07:57In the legal logic of chain, he went for it.
00:08:00Oh, no.
00:08:01It may be a DVD.
00:08:06I believe it is.
00:08:07It might be a DVD.
00:08:09Two, three.
00:08:12He won.
00:08:14Oh, yes, he did.
00:08:19Uh-oh.
00:08:20The referee has found that chain.
00:08:24But he never used it.
00:08:25Of course he didn't.
00:08:26What's he doing?
00:08:30The referee's gonna reverse the decision.
00:08:33Well, you're not allowed to have an illegal object, and he found it on him.
00:08:37I can't believe this went down, but fans were told, as this goes on in the arena outside,
00:08:43let's take a peek outside right now if we could.
00:08:46All right, any moment we understand the limousine's gonna be arriving, and the world champ Goldberg
00:08:53is going to be arriving here.
00:08:55Good night, Sonny.
00:08:56There you go.
00:08:57Sonny's going no place.
00:08:58And when we return, the world champion will walk into this arena, and the contract signing
00:09:04with Kevin Nash for Starrcade will take place.
00:09:07Well, you're looking outside live here at the UTC Arena at Nitro as Doug Dillinger opens the door, and here he comes.
00:09:18The man who is undefeated, the man who at Starrcade will put the belt on the line at the biggest event of the year
00:09:26against truly his biggest competition to date.
00:09:30I don't think there's any question, Brian, that of all the men that have gone down at the hands of Goldberg,
00:09:36Kevin Nash brings in without a doubt some of the best credentials ever.
00:09:41Well, you're right about that.
00:09:42Nash has the credentials.
00:09:44You're right.
00:09:45He's held championships in tag team and in singles and competition.
00:09:49He's seven feet tall.
00:09:50He's well over 300 pounds, and he's not afraid of Goldberg.
00:09:53Goldberg's got that momentum going.
00:09:55He's got that streak.
00:09:56He's undefeated.
00:09:57He's a heavyweight champion of the world, and what a feather in the cap that would be for Nash.
00:10:01Not only to walk away as champion of the world, which he could do, but to erase that record of being undefeated.
00:10:07And Nash, you saw what he did in the Battle Royal, first 20 seconds through seven big tough men over the top rope.
00:10:14He's ready for Goldberg.
00:10:15He's ready to become champion of the world.
00:10:17The date, of course, is Sunday, the 27th of December.
00:10:20It's on pay-per-view on Direct Ticket with DirecTV, but also our fans in Washington.
00:10:26Tickets are available at the NCI Center box office and Ticketmaster.
00:10:30Goldberg walking in.
00:10:33This is really a lot different to see him with his hat on and to walk in in casual attire.
00:10:43But Goldberg is here with the security.
00:10:48No pyro.
00:10:50Just a contract signing.
00:10:53The world champion in the ring.
00:10:56There's Gene Okerlund and Terry Taylor of WCW as well, Gene.
00:11:00All right, we have representation from the championship committee.
00:11:04May I please introduce to our vast audience across the country and around the world.
00:11:09Ladies and gentlemen, the WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Bill Goldberg.
00:11:18Goldberg.
00:11:19And his opponent,
00:11:31That should be me, son of that contract!
00:11:33I'll tell you something, Goldberg!
00:11:35Come on, Goldberg!
00:11:37At World War III, making him the number one contender.
00:11:42Please welcome from the Wolfpack, Kevin BigSexy Nash!
00:11:47You can feel the tension and the electricity here in this sold out arena.
00:11:57And you can just imagine what it's gonna be like on the 27th at Star King.
00:12:02Well, Washington DC has seen a lot of great events.
00:12:05I don't think they're gonna see anything like this.
00:12:08Goldberg undefeated, that man there hungry, I mean hungry, big, tough,
00:12:14capable of knocking Goldberg off.
00:12:17I don't even know how to pick this one, Tony.
00:12:20It's...
00:12:21No, Goldberg's my man.
00:12:22I like him.
00:12:23I like his style.
00:12:24But this man here is something else.
00:12:26I think you gotta go with the champ until he's beaten.
00:12:28I mean, you know, that's the way it is.
00:12:30All right, Gene, it's all yours.
00:12:31Go ahead.
00:12:32Gentlemen, if we could have you sit down, please.
00:12:35We will get the official signing underway.
00:12:39This document will represent the meeting of these two men at Starrcade
00:12:44on December the 27th, 1998 in Washington DC.
00:12:49Representing the championship committee, Terry Taylor, to eyewitness the proceedings tonight.
00:12:56First of all, challenger Kevin Nash, if you would be kind enough to sign this contract.
00:13:04It has been dated.
00:13:11All right.
00:13:12Would you be kind enough to also sign the second copy of that?
00:13:18This document clearly states that this man, Goldberg, will not defend the WCW heavyweight title between tonight and Sunday,
00:13:29December the 27th of this year to ensure that the title will be on the line and available.
00:13:35A match of this magnitude.
00:13:37Very important.
00:13:38This copy also.
00:13:42Yes.
00:13:43Here we go.
00:13:44And these will be filed.
00:13:45I thank you very much, Taylor Taylor.
00:13:47That makes it official.
00:13:48Get ready, ladies and gentlemen.
00:13:50The biggest match in a long, long time.
00:13:52Uh-oh.
00:13:53Here comes Bam Bam.
00:13:54Coming up between Kevin Nash and Goldberg.
00:13:57We have a-
00:13:58Oh, wait a minute.
00:13:59Just a second.
00:14:00Gene, we got a problem at ringside.
00:14:01And the good thing security and Doug Dillinger had the cuts.
00:14:04Right there because Bam Bam tried to get in the ring.
00:14:07And Bam Bam Bigelow has been thwarted again.
00:14:10He's out of here.
00:14:11I mean, having a ringside city paid for is one thing.
00:14:14But this man who has no cause, no reason to be here, does not need to try to get in the ring.
00:14:20And look at this.
00:14:21About 15 of Chattanooga's finest are trying to get him out of the building.
00:14:24And they're doing a darn good job of it.
00:14:26They are taking him out.
00:14:27He wanted Goldberg, didn't he?
00:14:29He said, that should have been me.
00:14:31I should be up there signing the contract.
00:14:33Well, they blow right past us.
00:14:36And once Bam Bam made his presence known, Bigelow, this was well thought out,
00:14:43well done by security.
00:14:45We do not need someone who has no reason to be here, who is not under contract to WCW,
00:14:51spoiled this big contract signing, and they've thrown him out of the building.
00:14:56I wonder what the midnight snack is at the Chattanooga Sneezer.
00:15:01I don't think they're gonna go that far.
00:15:03They're pointing, they're just throwing him out of the building.
00:15:05He won't stay out.
00:15:06You know that.
00:15:07That man's obsessed.
00:15:10And they'll throw him out again is what will have Doug Delgure says,
00:15:13out of the building, get out of here.
00:15:15And a lot of name calling and pointing going on.
00:15:18It's official, Goldberg and Kevin Nash for Starrcade.
00:15:23Goldberg wanted it.
00:15:25Look at that standing up.
00:15:26Dude ready.
00:15:30Well, the tension at an all time high.
00:15:32And ladies and gentlemen, get ready for the third hour of tonight's Wrestling Extravaganza.
00:15:39Within this third hour, Diamond Dallas Page defends the US title tonight.
00:15:44Five against Bret the Hitman Hart.
00:15:46He will now be noticeable on occasion.
00:15:49Paul and Nash will be together.
00:15:51Back together in tag team action.
00:15:53Against Big Papa Pump and Horace Hogan of NWO Black and White.
00:15:59And Mary Wyndham meets Dean Malenko.
00:16:02Dusty Rhodes, special referee.
00:16:05If Malenko can win, then Eric Bischoff will sign it,
00:16:10will agree to face Ric Flair.
00:16:13You know, everything looks bad for Malenko.
00:16:16Yes, it does.
00:16:18Don't forget, the horse.
00:16:20Iron Anderson is here.
00:16:22Ben was here.
00:16:23Come on, boys.
00:16:24Come on, boys.
00:16:25Come on, boys.
00:16:26Come on, boys.
00:16:27Come on, boys.
00:16:28Come on, boys.
00:16:29Come on, boys.
00:16:30Come on.
00:16:31Come on, boys.
00:16:32There is no question if you have followed this sport through the years.
00:16:35You know, Barry Wyndham has been like a son to him.
00:16:37I know that.
00:16:38They have been close.
00:16:39Barry Wyndham and Dusty Rhodes are as tight as they can be.
00:16:44And now, both just really under the thumb, so to speak, of Eric Bischoff.
00:16:51Pulling the strings, the purse strings, whatever you call it.
00:16:54I really think it's a no-win situation for Dean Malenko.
00:16:58Put that bad knee on top of that.
00:17:01It looks awfully bleak.
00:17:03Well, we're just gonna have to wait and see, aren't we?
00:17:05Yeah, we are.
00:17:06Well, fans, that is still to come here.
00:17:07Mike Ennis, very tough man out of the state of Minnesota.
00:17:11And Booker T to go at it in our next bout here on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:17:17Good to have you with us.
00:17:18Bam Bam Bigelow outside.
00:17:20He should stay out there, and I'm sure we understand security,
00:17:24making sure that buy a ticket or not,
00:17:27a ticket does not allow you to come over the safety rail into the ring area.
00:17:32That's why he was thrown out, and he should stay there.
00:17:35I just heard from one of the officers out here.
00:17:37He's out in the parking lot just yelling, ranting, and raving.
00:17:40He wants back in.
00:17:41Well, of course he does.
00:17:43But it's now official Goldberg and Kevin Nash to go at it at Starrcade on December 27th.
00:17:50And Gene Okerlund made a point that we wanna also drive home here.
00:17:55It's a cover.
00:17:56And that kicked that time, put Mike Ennis down,
00:18:00that there'll be no title defense between now and the 27th
00:18:03to ensure it will be Goldberg and Kevin Nash at the main event in Starrcade.
00:18:08Well, that's an advantage for Kevin Nash.
00:18:10Yeah, it is.
00:18:11And now he can concentrate only on Goldberg.
00:18:12He can't think ahead.
00:18:13What happens if Goldberg wants to lose the title?
00:18:15What happens if he lost it overseas?
00:18:17Who am I gonna wrestle?
00:18:18Who would my opponent be?
00:18:20Now he can concentrate.
00:18:21That's a good advantage for Kevin Nash.
00:18:23Well, it's an advantage for Goldberg, too.
00:18:25He doesn't have to worry about-
00:18:27Other opponents.
00:18:28Other opponents until then.
00:18:29But Goldberg has always been the fighting champion.
00:18:31We know.
00:18:32He stood up when Bam Bam Megalo jumped over the safety rail.
00:18:34He was ready to get in his face.
00:18:35So, you know, Goldberg is unlike anyone we've ever witnessed in this sport.
00:18:40You're right about that.
00:18:41And meanwhile, down on the floor, Mike Enos decks Booker T.
00:18:46And Mike Enos not done yet.
00:18:47I tell you, give it a couple of breaks and a couple of shots at a title.
00:18:50Mike Enos could be a top contender for any of those titles.
00:18:58He's a big guy, Enos.
00:18:59There's no doubt about that.
00:19:00He's been wrestling in the Orient, overseas.
00:19:05Tough customer for Minnesota.
00:19:08Rear chin lock is applied.
00:19:09And we're having a great time here in Chattanooga, the UTC Arena.
00:19:13Anywhere we go in college campuses all across the country were well-received.
00:19:18Of course, the home of the UTC Moccasins.
00:19:21Got a chance to jump for their starting quarterbacks.
00:19:24What?
00:19:25The Moccasins.
00:19:26Do they name the team after a pair of shoes?
00:19:29No, after a snake dummy.
00:19:31In the corner, Brian Hampton.
00:19:33Quarterback through for 1,700 yards this year.
00:19:36Had a great job.
00:19:37He's an old Marietta boy from Colt High School.
00:19:39He'd have done a lot better than someone had to catch the Wolves.
00:19:42Would you please stop it?
00:19:43But it's good to see all of our fans, wherever we go, well-received.
00:19:46We're gonna be in Houston, Texas next week.
00:19:48Gonna expect a big crowd at the Astrodome there.
00:19:51See my good friend, Greg Roberts there, sportscaster.
00:19:54You got good friends.
00:19:55A revelation in itself.
00:19:57Watch out.
00:19:58In the back of the head.
00:20:00Booker T with an axe kick.
00:20:05Called Mike Enos.
00:20:07Got him back.
00:20:08Spin up.
00:20:11One of his trademarks.
00:20:12Booker T.
00:20:13What's this?
00:20:14Harlem sidekick.
00:20:15Enos is getting up.
00:20:17I don't think he knows where he's at.
00:20:20Booker T.
00:20:21Duck lost.
00:20:22Timed.
00:20:23Whoa!
00:20:24And 110th three with that one.
00:20:26It's the sidewalk slam.
00:20:28It's over.
00:20:29Well, maybe they're not bouncing any balls in the NBA, but
00:20:32Booker T certainly dribbling the head of Mike Enos off the bat.
00:20:36He continues to win.
00:20:38He looks good all the time.
00:20:39He gets better all the time.
00:20:40He truly is one of the finest athletes in this sport.
00:20:43Quick, powerful.
00:20:44Booker T in the ring is your winner.
00:20:46And what's happening?
00:20:47We're gonna go outside.
00:20:48What's going on out there?
00:20:49I'm not going outside.
00:20:50No, our cameras are.
00:20:51Look at this.
00:20:52Bigelow leading the chant of golf in the NBA.
00:20:55Bigelow leading the chant of golf in the NBA.
00:20:57Bigelow leading the chant of golf in the NBA.
00:21:00Bigelow leading the chant of golf in the NBA.
00:21:05Bigelow leading the chant of Goldberg.
00:21:07Good to find that on your lawn in the morning.
00:21:08He's standing on the grassy knoll.
00:21:10And he wants Goldberg outside of the arena.
00:21:14We're gonna follow this story.
00:21:21I want to remind you this coming Friday, December 4th,

00:21:55Plus, Friday, January 22nd, we're in Peoria, Illinois at the Civic Center.
00:21:59Tickets available at the Ticket Office and Ticketmaster when they go on sale this coming Friday.
00:22:04Information about our plans, Evansville, Indiana, still to come.
00:22:07As Brian Adams makes his way out and Lex Luger will be coming out here to face him for the next matchup.
00:22:12And Brian, as I mentioned earlier, Mike today came down with a case of laryngitis earlier today
00:22:19and not able to be with us for the three hours.
00:22:21We certainly missed Mike and certainly he'll be back with us hopefully on Thursday in Memphis, Tennessee,
00:22:26when we had Thunder live at the Mid-South Coliseum.
00:22:29But last night, Mike was the host of a very special night for everyone involved in WCW.
00:22:36It happened in Knoxville, Tennessee up the road during our matches at the Civic Coliseum
00:22:41when we paid tribute to one of the finest referees in the history of our sport,
00:22:47a young man by the name of Mark Curtis, so you know quite well from this program.
00:22:51Mark has been battling cancer for the last few months, not able to come out and be a referee,
00:22:57but we know Mark is a battler, a fighter.
00:22:59We'll be back in the ring very soon, but we pay tribute to him.
00:23:02I was there, you were there, the living legend Larry Zbysko,
00:23:06Ric Flair and Arne Anderson of the Horsemen, Terry Taylor of our front office,
00:23:10Tim Horner, Les Thatcher, Sandy Scott, Tony Anthony,
00:23:13and we were all there to pay tribute to Mark Curtis.
00:23:16Mike did a little bit of overtime, double duty last night, not even being able to perform.
00:23:20But like we said last night, we want to echo those sentiments here.
00:23:23Mark Curtis, you're a gentleman and one of the finest referees,
00:23:27and we know it won't be long before Mark Curtis is back in the ring once again.
00:23:30Well, he told me last night, he said, I'll be back in a couple months, Brain.
00:23:33You don't have to worry about me.
00:23:34But today, you're right.
00:23:35He was the MC last night and he stayed there until the end of the whole card was done
00:23:40and signed autographs, talked to fans.
00:23:42And I told him, I'm not going to have a voice tomorrow.
00:23:45But he stayed there.
00:23:46That's the way today is very emotional evening.
00:23:48Yeah, it really was.
00:23:50And Mark is...
00:23:51Plus, he had a half a gallon of cheap moonshine too.
00:23:57Well, Tottenham, when you drink that cheap stuff, it always messes his throat.
00:23:59Oh, would you please put a cork in it.
00:24:01All right, here the match goes.
00:24:03Mark is in the back right now with his friends.
00:24:06Mark, we love you.
00:24:07Luger runs right over.
00:24:12Big Bryan Adams and runs over him once again with a back elbow.
00:24:15I tell you right now, the Wolf Pack, the Red Hot.
00:24:17Conan got the win earlier.
00:24:19Big Sexy's got the match coming up on December 27th.
00:24:23And Starr Kane and Lex Luger truly, we know, one of the true greats in our sport.
00:24:28Not many people can say they pounded Bryan Adams down to the canvas like that.
00:24:32Big Bryan Adams.
00:24:33And you're right about something.
00:24:34The Red and Blacks have that momentum.
00:24:36Now that Conan is the television champion, that's going to mean something extra to Nash and Luger.
00:24:41And it's going to mean a lot to Goldberg because they got their sights set.
00:24:44Nash, he's hungry.
00:24:45He's a hungry wolf.
00:24:46He's the baddest wolf of the bunch.
00:24:48And he wants to be champion.
00:24:50Here's a pick up by Ryan Adams and Taylor with the retirement of Hollywood Hogan.
00:24:56And I haven't gotten your comments on that yet, Brain, so I want you to bring them forth here.
00:25:01Looking for a leader in the NWO, Big Papa Pump stepped up to the plate now, didn't he?
00:25:06Well, Eric Bischoff's a smart man.
00:25:08You know, if you were going to pick a guy, it'd be Big Papa Pump to take over for Hollywood.
00:25:12I mean, look at the size of the man.
00:25:13Look how aggressive the man is.
00:25:15As far as Hogan's retirement, I couldn't be happier.
00:25:18And yes, during the election, I will not vote.
00:25:21You will not vote?
00:25:22No.
00:25:23It's your duty.
00:25:24You should vote.
00:25:25No, because there's a chance Hogan could become president.
00:25:26And by that time, I will have my Canadian citizenship already.
00:25:29Oh, really?
00:25:30I'm leaving.
00:25:31It looks like Hogan could become champion.
00:25:33I'm history.
00:25:34President, that is.
00:25:35President, that's what I mean.
00:25:36You'll probably call it champion.
00:25:38Well, nevertheless, the man's serious.
00:25:40I mean, you know.
00:25:41Oh, I know he is.
00:25:42At first, we thought, but, I mean, that has to go down as the biggest story of the year.
00:25:44I mean, we've had some big things occur, but for a man, the stature,
00:25:47the man who has meant so much of the sport, like Hollywood Hogan, retiring is just a,
00:25:52it is a bombshell brain.
00:25:53For the matches this man's had in our sport, for what he's done for the sport,
00:25:57for the way the droves and millions and millions of people have backed this man.
00:26:01And millions and millions of people have hated this man.
00:26:03And everything that's happened in this sport, a lot of people say is because of Hollywood Hogan.
00:26:09Well, you know, him and I don't get along.
00:26:11Never have, never will.
00:26:12But you've got to give him his dues.
00:26:14He was the most recognizable, most powerful force in this sport's history.
00:26:17Yes, he was.
00:26:18And him retiring, he means it.
00:26:20His ego is bigger than the United States of America.
00:26:23And if there's a way to do it, he will become a heavyweight.
00:26:26He'll become President of the United States.
00:26:28That time, the forearm shot from Luger not only hit Bryan Adams, but it hit the referee as well.
00:26:36Uh-oh.
00:26:37Vincent's in.
00:26:38Vincent put a chair up on the apron of the ring, almost to give it to Mark Curtis.
00:26:41Vincent is right in.
00:26:42And then Vincent goes down.
00:26:44Uh-oh.
00:26:45But Bryan Adams has the chair.
00:26:50And Bryan Adams locks Luger between the shoulder blades.
00:26:55Come on.
00:26:56Two against one now.
00:26:58Yeah, the odds are against.
00:27:00Oh, no!
00:27:01Palm driver on that steel chair.
00:27:03They spiked him good.
00:27:04Bryan Adams, big, strong, powerful.
00:27:08And now tries to wake up here, Mickie J to get him back into it.
00:27:14Luger's not moving.
00:27:15Luger's not called.
00:27:16And this is easy pick-ins from Bryan Adams.
00:27:20No, it's not.
00:27:21No, no.
00:27:22Oh, he caught it too soon.
00:27:23Oh, he just barely got it up, Tony.
00:27:26That wasn't your fault or anybody's.
00:27:27I thought he had it.
00:27:28Two.
00:27:29The arm was going down.
00:27:30I thought it was over.
00:27:31Blink of an eye.
00:27:32Blink of an eye.
00:27:33It was a great call by Mickie J.
00:27:35Now roll up Luger.
00:27:36Only gets a one count.
00:27:37This match continues.
00:27:40My goodness.
00:27:41How did Luger bounce back from a pile driver onto a steel chair?
00:27:45I'll never know.
00:27:46But the match continues here.
00:27:49Luger picks him up.
00:27:50Atomic drop.
00:27:51Right hand, but big Bryan Adams back in and gouging to the eyes.
00:27:56Ooh.
00:27:57Right through the throat.
00:27:58That's a choke hold there.
00:27:59Blight and choke right in front.
00:28:00Right in front of the referee.
00:28:01Shoves the referee away.
00:28:02And he called Vincent to get up on the apron again.
00:28:05Vincent's got the chair.
00:28:06Oh, put the brakes on there.
00:28:07Whoa.
00:28:08Oh, no.
00:28:09Luger hit Bryan Adams.
00:28:10Touch the rack.
00:28:11Touch the rack.
00:28:12Touch the rack time in Chattanooga.
00:28:13Oh, he's got him good too.
00:28:14Big Bryan Adams is going nowhere.
00:28:15The total package, Lex Luger.
00:28:18Wins it.
00:28:19Can Dean Malenko defy the odds?
00:28:22We'll find out next.
00:28:36Woo!
00:28:38Wins it.
00:28:39Can Dean Malenko defy the odds?
00:28:40We'll find out next.
00:28:41Woo!
00:28:42Wins it.
00:28:43Wins it.
00:28:44Can Dean Malenko defy the odds?
00:28:45We'll find out next.
00:28:47Fans want to let you know that Saturday December 5th
00:28:48tickets will go on sale for the next big event
00:28:50in Evansville, Indiana for WCW.
00:28:51Tickets go on sale for the event this Saturday at the Roberts Stadium.
00:28:54Ticket office and all tickets.
00:28:57Loved it.
00:28:57Nitro girls, don't you, Brayne?
00:29:00Certainly do, Tony.
00:29:01There's no doubt about it.
00:29:02They're lovely.
00:29:03They're gorgeous.
00:29:04They can dance.
00:29:05And I think one likes them.
00:29:07No, you've got to be kidding me.
00:29:09Brayne, no one likes you.
00:29:10No one at all.
00:29:11One of them?
00:29:12I think she's got to be live for me.
00:29:14Which one would that be?
00:29:15Well, she's not out there now.
00:29:16They're all out there now, aren't they?
00:29:18No, there's only two of them.
00:29:19Okay.
00:29:19Yeah, you're right, that's Spice and Tygerson there.
00:29:22No, it's not her.
00:29:23Kimberly?
00:29:23No, not her.
00:29:24And there's Whisper.
00:29:26Come on.
00:29:27Anyway, the Nitro girls, all part of the experience of WCW Monday Nitro that our fans in Houston, Texas will experience next Monday.
00:29:35And I know we have a lot of Texas natives on our crew.
00:29:40We'll be excited to go back home.
00:29:41I know Bill Kingsley, a native of Houston, Texas, will be excited about being back.
00:29:45Pete Mitchell will be back in Texas coming up next Monday.
00:29:49Did they deport them about three years ago?
00:29:51Yes, they did, but they're still here.
00:29:53They came right back.
00:29:54Well, speaking of Texas, it's ironic when you say that Dean Malenko has the Texas Glover League.
00:30:04Yes.
00:30:05And he's got double duty against two Texicans here.
00:30:08And Dusty Rhodes, the special referee, NWO Black and White through and through, and Barry Windham.
00:30:15Now, Barry Windham and Dusty Rhodes, just like family, together.
00:30:22And for Dean Malenko, he has one of the tallest orders, toughest tests in Horseman history.
00:30:29Rick Flair came out screaming, sweating, veins bolting in the forehead, never seen him this way in many, many years.
00:30:39Wanted Bischoff in the ring.
00:30:41Bischoff said, you want me?
00:30:43Dean Malenko, injured leg and all, has got to go through Barry Windham and beat him tonight with Dusty Rhodes, the special referee.
00:30:51I don't know.
00:30:51And you notice something, when they called Malenko out, they called out the Horseman that had the bad leg.
00:30:57They didn't call on anybody else.
00:30:59This is all a plan by Eric Bischoff.
00:31:03You say a tall order, a big tall order.
00:31:05Let's wind him.
00:31:066'7"?
00:31:066'7"?
00:31:07Big, big man.
00:31:09Over 300 pounds.
00:31:11Former World Tag Team champ.
00:31:13Former United States Heavyweight Champion.
00:31:15Always a top contender to the world title whenever he competed.
00:31:18But much different vein now.
00:31:20He's almost kind of like Bischoff's henchman, if you will, as he goes in the ring against Dean Malenko.
00:31:28And Malenko's got to try to hit and run and escape.
00:31:31Dusty Rhodes, didn't he call it down the middle?
00:31:32I don't buy that at all.
00:31:34Malenko with his back squarely up against the wall against Barry Windham.
00:31:38But Dean Malenko's up to the task.
00:31:39Ducking and weaving and trying.
00:31:41Drop to hold.
00:31:41Takes the big man down.
00:31:43Well, that's what he has to do.
00:31:44He has to keep that big man down.
00:31:46He doesn't want to be punching up at a guy that size.
00:31:48He wants to keep him woven.
00:31:49I understand what you mean.
00:31:53Down low now.
00:31:55If Wyndham gets Malenko to chase him, then Wyndham's going to be on top of things here.
00:32:01Because the more Malenko runs and puts pressure on that leg.
00:32:05And Dusty Rhodes standing right in his way.
00:32:07Dusty Rhodes was almost like a screen or a pick that time, if you will.
00:32:12He used to basketball lingo.
00:32:13Help block it out.
00:32:14So Barry Windham would get the advantage.
00:32:16And Wyndham stood right behind Dusty Rhodes.
00:32:18Of course he did.
00:32:18The time was right.
00:32:20This is a no win.
00:32:22I hate to say this, but I smell Texas.
00:32:24One, two.
00:32:26Come on, Wyndham.
00:32:27And he kicked out in two.
00:32:31So Barry Windham.
00:32:33Remember, if Malenko can win this against these instrumental odds, then Bischoff will face Ric Flair in the ring.
00:32:45When that will go down, I don't have a clear date on that, if in fact it would ever happen.
00:32:51The roadblocks are so big.
00:32:53And look at it, it's almost like he's being double teamed in the corner.
00:32:56You won't give up.
00:32:56You won't give up.
00:32:58They're legal.
00:33:00Yeah, they're legal, but he's in the corner.
00:33:02They got to...
00:33:02If you try to talk to the referee, Tony, he's not going to listen to you.
00:33:07If you were in the ring, he wouldn't listen to you.
00:33:08Moved out of the way.
00:33:09Went up top.
00:33:10Oh, and that cost him.
00:33:11On that bad leg, too.
00:33:13He hit the bad leg, he dropped on it.
00:33:17And now Barry Windham goes in for it.
00:33:20You want to give up?
00:33:21Oh, man, you want to give up?
00:33:25Malenko shaking his head no.
00:33:28Oh, Malenko is such a fighter.
00:33:31I'd give up.
00:33:31A man's man is Dean Malenko.
00:33:33The no-win situation with those two.
00:33:36Hold on.
00:33:37He's in the room.
00:33:38Come on, he's in the room.
00:33:40Make him break the hole.
00:33:43Well, how much can he take?
00:33:45And the fans don't like any bit of this at all.
00:33:48Appears to me as the referee, Dusty Rhodes, the impartial line, is a little bit distracted.
00:33:53He's walked away from the action.
00:33:56A round of booze turned Rhodes' head around that time.
00:33:59And, oh, that's a low block.
00:34:01Get off the rope.
00:34:02Right in front of Dusty's eyes.
00:34:07Dusty keeps saying, do you want to give up?
00:34:09But Malenko's still in it.
00:34:11Come on, he's...
00:34:12Going to work on that left leg.
00:34:14In the ropes.
00:34:17Dusty just walking around, wiping his eyes.
00:34:18I tell you how it goes back to their background, their story background, how close they were.
00:34:25And it even comes into the 90s, almost at the turn to the millennium, with the NWO black...
00:34:32Ring the bell.
00:34:33Ring the bell.
00:34:34Ring the bell.
00:34:34Ring the bell.
00:34:35Dusty Rhodes.
00:34:36Does he disqualify, Wyndham?
00:34:39Dusty Rhodes.
00:34:40Stop.
00:34:41You win for that.
00:34:43Dusty Rhodes.
00:34:44What?
00:34:44Has wrinked the hand.
00:34:46What?
00:34:46Of Dean Malenko.
00:34:48And look at this.
00:34:50Dusty Rhodes.
00:34:52Has double-crossed.
00:34:53Yes, he has.
00:34:54He's wrinked it.
00:34:55Oh, is he going to be hard?
00:34:59Get back here.
00:35:00Whoa, get back here.
00:35:02Get back here.
00:35:03What are you doing?
00:35:05What are you doing?
00:35:06Don't turn your back on me.
00:35:11Get in here.
00:35:14Who do you think you are?
00:35:18Get in here.
00:35:20Get back here now.
00:35:23Good luck.
00:35:26You, you're fired.
00:35:29Oh, I'm fired.
00:35:30You are fired.
00:35:31You are fired.
00:35:34You're fired before.
00:35:35Yeah, he's sending Wyndham to get Dusty Rhodes, who's been fired.
00:35:40But the truth of the matter, the plane's back is.
00:35:45He's the horseman around.
00:35:46And so is Ric Flair.
00:35:48Ric Flair first made in line.
00:35:51As he remembers Wyndham turn on him just a short time ago.
00:35:54Double-crossed him.
00:35:56And where's Bischoff?
00:35:58Now, Bischoff, there's Ric Flair in your future.
00:36:02And Flair.
00:36:02Oh, wait a minute.
00:36:03Flair's going after Bischoff, I think.
00:36:05He's going to the ring, but Bischoff is gone.
00:36:07He is gone.
00:36:08Look, members of the black and the white.
00:36:10Surrounding him.
00:36:11They're surrounding him.
00:36:12They're carrying him out of here.
00:36:13You think it was the President of the United States they're shielding?
00:36:17Look at Flair.
00:36:17Look at Flair.
00:36:18Now, Bischoff.
00:36:20Now.
00:36:22Woo!
00:36:22The greatest Christmas present the nature boy or the horseman have ever had.
00:36:34It'll be you, Bischoff.
00:36:35Now.
00:36:36Now.
00:36:37Now.
00:36:38Woo!
00:36:41It's done.
00:36:42It's a done deal.
00:36:44It's Ric Flair and Eric Bischoff.
00:36:46There's no turning back.
00:36:48Hey, I got an idea.
00:36:49Let Dusty Rhodes referee it.
00:36:51Oh, my goodness.
00:36:52I don't think there's any question every wrestling fan all around this globe
00:37:01has wanted to see Ric Flair get in the ring
00:37:04and get his hands on Eric Bischoff
00:37:06by virtue of Dean Malenko's win
00:37:10as deemed by special referee Dusty Rhodes
00:37:13raising the hand of Dean Malenko.
00:37:18Flair and Bischoff will battle.
00:37:21And now, when that's going to take place is still very obscure.
00:37:25We don't know, personally, we don't care when it happens.
00:37:28The fact that it is going to happen is excitement enough for us.
00:37:32Just to know, in Eric Bischoff's mind, that's all I can think about now is Ric Flair and the Horseman.
00:37:37That's fun to watch a person upset like him.
00:37:39And Tony, he's got to be, and the American Dream did it.
00:37:44He double-crossed it.
00:37:46He double-crossed it.
00:37:48Let's hear one for tradition.
00:37:52How about that, huh?
00:37:53I always said the Dream was for them.
00:37:55He was my kind of guy.
00:37:56You are a lying, a knife, no good, two-faced.
00:38:03Yeah, but I still like him.
00:38:05You never ever liked Dusty Rhodes.
00:38:07Dusty Rhodes?
00:38:08Oh, you're right.
00:38:10Why don't I even get into these things with you, fans?
00:38:13I have no idea.
00:38:14Big Papa Papa, the new leader of NWO Black and White,
00:38:17along with Horace Hogan,
00:38:20nephew of the retired Hollywood Hogan.
00:38:26The man running for the highest office in the country.
00:38:29We heard and we saw the replay of the footage from The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,
00:38:33the man serious.
00:38:34Oh, is he ever.
00:38:37All right.
00:38:38Well, this is going to be a fine tag team match,
00:38:41and it'll be the first time that these two men have been together
00:38:46and I can't really, off the top of my head, go back and tell you when,
00:38:51but it's been a long, long time.
00:38:54Scott Hall comes out with no music.
00:38:57Not a member of the Black and White,
00:38:59not a member of the Red and Black.
00:39:00Nope.
00:39:02But he does have as his partner
00:39:04the man who, with Scott Hall,
00:39:07pioneered the insurgents of the NWO.
00:39:10The man who is going to go into Starrcade
00:39:17in a chance to become the heavyweight champion of the world.
00:39:24Honestly, I'm not so sure if the complete thrust is there yet or not,
00:39:27but here they are together.
00:39:30He made the offer, Nish.
00:39:33Look at that.
00:39:34Look at the eyes.
00:39:35The eyes, yeah.
00:39:37A glance, a look towards Scott Hall.
00:39:38I'm a little bit of, I sense still a little bit of friction there, don't you?
00:39:47Oh, well, a lot of things happen.
00:39:48Understandably so.
00:39:49You're right, for once.
00:39:50A lot of things have happened.
00:39:52You just can't brush your sight.
00:39:55But here they are together.
00:39:57And I tell you, that's quite a sight to see them back together.
00:40:00One of the most dominant teams ever
00:40:02in the world tag team title scene.
00:40:06Maul and Nash.
00:40:07And this is a match that Big Papa Pump, if we go back now to the opening of a program,
00:40:14the Sigma 2 called for.
00:40:16He said, Scott Hall, it's a little unfinished business.
00:40:19And my first order of business as the new leader of NWO Black and White
00:40:23to take care of you, find you any partner.
00:40:26He found him one, and here we go.
00:40:28Found him a big one.
00:40:30The number one contender for the world's title.
00:40:34But Horace is a big man, too, you know.
00:40:36Of course he is.
00:40:36He's got that blood running through his veins of Howie Wood Hogan.
00:40:40And we see the aftermath of this strike, so to speak, by WCW officials.
00:40:47This sit-in, so to speak, they will not referee, they will not officiate a match involving Big Papa Pump, and understandably so.
00:40:56Uh-oh, Tony, here comes trouble.
00:40:58And, uh, therefore, they've got that NWO referee.
00:41:06Who is this referee?
00:41:08Do you know his name?
00:41:09No, I don't know his name.
00:41:10Does he have a name?
00:41:11Doesn't matter.
00:41:12Doesn't matter, does it?
00:41:12It doesn't matter.
00:41:13No, it doesn't.
00:41:14But we know that he always sides with the NWO, especially when it comes to Big Papa Pump.
00:41:19So it'll be Scott Hall and Horace Hogan to tie it up here.
00:41:25Break it, Horace!
00:41:26Full-arm-drag and twist now.
00:41:28Horace Hogan, like you said, a big guy.
00:41:30You can't take him lightly at all, but there's one of the trademarks from Scott Hall who's shoulder blocks.
00:41:36And don't you think he's been nurtured by Hollywood Hogan?
00:41:39He's taught this guy everything.
00:41:42He's told this guy he's wasted.
00:41:44Cheat, deceived.
00:41:45He split the man's head open with a chair on this program.
00:41:48His loved one.
00:41:49His loved one.
00:41:50What would he do to you if he didn't like it?
00:41:53Get out of here!
00:41:55Cheat down!
00:41:56Get out of here, Horace!
00:41:57Interesting to see how this team of Hall and Nash are going to operate because they haven't been teaming for, what, over a year now?
00:42:03All right, I have been handed this note, and it bears repeating.
00:42:08If you'll just bear with me a second, let me look it over real quickly here and tell you this.
00:42:13It's very important.
00:42:14This is just in from the WCW Legal Council.
00:42:17They just called the arena here, the UTC arena in one of our offices in the back that we set up.
00:42:23They've called to inform us that WCW is required, or I should say, forcing now Eric Bischoff to wrestle Ric Flair at Starrcade 98, December 27th in Washington.
00:42:36Read that to me again, Tony.
00:42:37I'll read it to you again.
00:42:39Wendy Turnbuckle handed back to me.
00:42:41WCW Legal Council just called to tell us that they're requiring, they're forcing Eric Bischoff to wrestle Ric Flair at Starrcade, Sunday, December 27th.
00:42:52MCI Center on pay-per-view, it's gone down, it's official, there is no, if I can use this term, brain, weaseling out of this at all.
00:43:02You can certainly use that, Tony, and I'll tell you something, the 27th of December, two days after Christmas, Mr. Bischoff maybe should order from Santa his two front teeth.
00:43:10He's going to need them.
00:43:12Hallelujah.
00:43:13Or maybe a whole set of dentures.
00:43:14Yes.
00:43:15Ric Flair is going to get retribution.
00:43:18He is going to get payback for the horsemen, for the wrestling fans around the world.
00:43:22Tradition.
00:43:23For tradition, who have battled, who have seen this man.
00:43:27Here's a cover.
00:43:28He's seen this man be pushed on the outside by Eric Bischoff, by the black and white, now led by Big Papa Puff.
00:43:36And they've talked about his age, and he's not an old man.
00:43:39You just haven't seen him wrestle for a while, because Eric Bischoff hasn't allowed him to.
00:43:43Big Papa Puff got a two count, and he wanted a fast count from his referee.
00:43:46He's got a fast count, but not fast enough for Scott Hall to kick out.
00:43:51Wow.
00:43:51From now to December 27th.
00:43:52How about it?
00:43:53Every time Bischoff goes to bed and pulls the covers up around his ears, oh, he's going to be hearing it.
00:43:59Woo!
00:44:02Oh.
00:44:04My goodness.
00:44:06Starrcade has just got a whole lot hotter.
00:44:08What a way to end the year.
00:44:10Yeah, you're not kidding.
00:44:12Here's Big Papa Puff he's got now.
00:44:14Scott Hall hooked.
00:44:16Scott Hall put the brakes on.
00:44:18It's been all Scott Hall here.
00:44:19He's shrugged off Scott Steiner.
00:44:21Hall, foot to the face.
00:44:23Scott Hall up, tap, and Scott Hall.
00:44:26He pulled that deep.
00:44:27He pulled that deep.
00:44:28Come on, count one.
00:44:29Oh, come on.
00:44:31And I could have counted a ten.
00:44:35Well, I suggest you grow hair on that man right now.
00:44:38Somebody should shelve him.
00:44:40That's what they should do.
00:44:43I think, oh, low blow from Scott Steiner.
00:44:48What's going to have to happen is they're going to just, or have to either knock him out or get him to submit or something.
00:44:54Because it's going to be a slow count all night.
00:44:56You can see that coming.
00:44:59Goes back to the NWO black and white.
00:45:02They always have the odds in their favor, don't they?
00:45:04And at least they thought with Bestie Rhodes in there earlier tonight, too, didn't they?
00:45:07Well, you know, once something like that happens, Nash coming to save his partner.
00:45:13As Horace Hogan was using that weight belt of his, boy, is that out of the Hollywood Hogan textbook or what?
00:45:21Sure.
00:45:24And in, meanwhile, three-quarter Nelson, the snapmare takeover from Big Papa Pob, who is just pounding away on the forehead of Scott Hall.
00:45:34You know, now that he's got this new role, now he's got this new position, head of the black and white,
00:45:39you've seen how he's conducted himself lately.
00:45:41Think now that he has some power.
00:45:43What he's going to be like.
00:45:46Ric Flair and Eric Bischoff start that.
00:45:49Forced by WCW Legal Counsel.
00:45:52Get the tickets now.
00:45:54What a Christmas gift for that.
00:45:55And as many power plays, as Bischoff wants to fall, he can certainly fall, and he's done that.
00:46:00He can't pull one over the eyes of, let me repeat that, not of the championship committee, but of legal counsel.
00:46:08When it gets involved with the legal beagles, you're in big trouble.
00:46:11Meanwhile, speaking of trouble, it's been all Scott Hall in here, and the fans are trying to encourage Hall on to make a tag to his part.
00:46:26Forced by WCW Legal Counsel.
00:46:28Forced by WCW Legal Counsel.
00:46:30Forced by WCW Legal Counsel.
00:46:32One, two, there's a quick count again, and...
00:46:35You can do it, you can do it.
00:46:36The referee's having a little trouble with his cadence here, isn't he?
00:46:41Oh, you've just found that out, huh?
00:46:43Well, welcome to the dance.
00:46:46It's been happening all throughout this match, as Big Sexy looks on.
00:46:50Oh, you know, I hate to judge anyone right off the bat.
00:46:53I want to give everybody their opportunity to be right or wrong.
00:46:55You've never given anyone an opportunity.
00:46:57You're the first to tank anybody to talk about it behind their back.
00:47:00That's the way you are.
00:47:02That's why the name Weasel's always applied to you, Bobby.
00:47:06Has nothing to do with me.
00:47:08Meanwhile, here comes Scott Hall.
00:47:10What's he doing?
00:47:10He's calling for something.
00:47:12Looks like to me he was calling for the bell, but thank goodness no bell sounded.
00:47:16Scott Hall's not done yet.
00:47:18Give me that tag.
00:47:19He's in.
00:47:20Here comes the big guy.
00:47:21Good luck, Russ.
00:47:22He's gonna wave it up.
00:47:24Goodbye, pump and pump.
00:47:25There is the number one contender for the world's title right there.
00:47:30Big Sexy.
00:47:32Go ahead and save the Bigfoot.
00:47:35Scott Steiner rolls out.
00:47:38And Nash not done yet.
00:47:40Hogan.
00:47:42Horace Hogan, that is, reaching in from behind.
00:47:47Uh-oh.
00:47:48Scott Hall's got him.
00:47:49Horace is going for a ride.
00:47:51It's the edge.
00:47:52There's no pump and pump, and you better count now.
00:47:57Come on.
00:47:58He won't count.
00:48:00Unscrew his head, Nash.
00:48:03Count.
00:48:04Count.
00:48:05Make the count.
00:48:07Make the count.
00:48:09Get Shooter to count.
00:48:13He's got him in the seat of the pants.
00:48:15That's the world's biggest wedgie right there.
00:48:17Guess what?
00:48:18No count.
00:48:19How about it?
00:48:20Nice.
00:48:20Now trying to count stripes.
00:48:25Boy, here comes one.
00:48:27Two.
00:48:27Three.
00:48:28The Outsiders have run one.
00:48:34And the fans are going ballistic.
00:48:37They love every second of this one.
00:48:39And so do we.
00:48:41As Big Pump a pump carries his referee out of town.
00:48:45And Hall and Nash together for the first time in many months look pretty darn good as a tag team.
00:48:53Boy, I never thought I'd hear you say that.
00:48:55Hall and Nash together.
00:48:56Your winners.
00:48:57But you notice Hall's the only one in the ring.
00:49:05Nash has walked away.
00:49:07He was not there to have his hand raised at all.
00:49:09There's a little friction there yet.
00:49:10Boy, there's a little distrust, a lot of distrust.
00:49:13Meanwhile, we look right outside.
00:49:16Ladies and gentlemen, he's still chanting Goldberg.
00:49:19Bam Bam Bigelow apparently is going nowhere until he gets what he wants.
00:49:24And we know what he wants.
00:49:26Goldberg.
00:49:27The man.
00:49:28We're back.
00:49:32Bobby the Brain Heenan still to come in this program.
00:49:35Diamond Dallas Page.
00:49:36Yes.
00:49:37And Bret the Hitman Hart to go one-on-one in a no-disqualification match for the U.S. title.
00:49:42But we're all in a very celebratory mood, I guess I should say,
00:49:46because Eric Bischoff at Starrcade must face the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
00:49:51You mean Eric Bischoff, the man that slapped Ric Flair in the face a couple weeks ago?
00:49:54Hold on a second.
00:49:55You see the cameraman.
00:49:57What does that mean?
00:49:58They're running back towards us.
00:49:59We are now going.
00:50:01Is it that?
00:50:03Fans, we look, but that's Goldberg.
00:50:05Goldberg has run out of the building, up towards that grassy knoll.
00:50:09And our cameraman are getting up there as soon as they can.
00:50:14It's Goldberg and Bam Bam in a fight outside.
00:50:18Goldberg took it to him right out there in the lawn, right in the parking lot here in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
00:50:24Goodness, what a fight.
00:50:26Well, Bam Bam, you wanted him.
00:50:28Now you got him.
00:50:29Hey, as you can see, this has no semblance of any type of wrestling match at all.
00:50:33This is a, this is a, bro, look at him, picked up that almost 400 pale man.
00:50:38He's going to put him in the back of a truck.
00:50:39When you get Goldberg, man, there's no stopping you.
00:50:43There's going to be more dancing cars out there than if there was a hailstorm.
00:50:46And Bam Bam wanted it.
00:50:48He got it.
00:50:49He defended Goldberg.
00:50:50And by golly, the world champ, the fighter that he is.
00:50:55Can you imagine this, 28 days away from Starkade and Kevin Nash, and they said there will be no title matches until that time, but there's a darn fight.
00:51:06Well, this is very dangerous.
00:51:07He could be severely injured out here in this parking lot.
00:51:10A lot of things could happen.
00:51:11This is going to go all the way out into the interstate.
00:51:14Well, we're going to follow him as best we can.
00:51:17Finally, security gets in there.
00:51:19That is so dangerous back there.
00:51:22Goldberg had seen enough.
00:51:24Yeah, Bam Bam, you wanted the man.
00:51:26There he is.
00:51:27Let me out, bro.
00:51:29Well, Bam Bam, Goldberg has left the building.
00:51:30I got you where I want you, Goldberg.
00:51:32You happy?
00:51:33I got you where I want you.
00:51:34Got him where he want him.
00:51:35Hey.
00:51:35You must want him pounding on you, because that's what he was doing.
00:51:38That's what he was doing.
00:51:39The last man you call out is world champion Goldberg.
00:51:43Come on, Goldberg.
00:51:44Not only the world champ, but pound for pound, I should say, the toughest man ever in this sport.
00:51:50And Bigelow led away by security.
00:51:53Now they should put him in.
00:51:55Just playing him right there.
00:51:57No, they-
00:51:57Bigelow and playing him.
00:51:59They need to put him away somewhere is what they need to do.
00:52:01More security holding Goldberg back as this fight erupted.
00:52:07Good job by our production crew and our cameraman.
00:52:10Double time running up the steps there, the stairs, towards the back of the arena,
00:52:14out towards the grassy-
00:52:16They don't miss anything.
00:52:18Look at the crowd out there.
00:52:20And Goldberg being held back as well.
00:52:22It's a scene that is not done yet.
00:52:26He's going after him again.
00:52:27He brought through and he spears him.
00:52:29He spears him in the grass.
00:52:31What a fight, I love it.
00:52:32And we've got to take a break.
00:52:34No, no, stay with it.
00:52:35Stay with it, listen to me.
00:52:37Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to what I can say, and
00:52:45it's gonna be a gross understatement, I know, an explosive, and electric, and
00:52:49unpredictable night of WCW Monday Night Throw.
00:52:53It's been the darndest thing I've ever witnessed.
00:52:58It's like being at an asylum.
00:52:59I love it.
00:53:00You know, we've often said this, Starcade, the granddaddy of them all, and Goldberg, and
00:53:06that's now signed, and it always happens this way near the end of the year.
00:53:10I don't know if it's the festival mood, the holiday's coming up, or if it's the fact that
00:53:15the granddaddy of them all is upon his Starcade, but I mean, have you ever witnessed anything like
00:53:20what a night for today to lose his voice.
00:53:24Well, thank heavens that happened.
00:53:26Now we can talk.
00:53:28Here comes Fred Hart who said, hey, how did he bring any gear to wrestle in?
00:53:31And he's right, he's in in his, looks like, tennis shoes and cut-offs here.
00:53:36Hey, I don't care if he wrestles in his birthday suit.
00:53:41Does it seem a little odd to you that he said he couldn't wrestle for Ben when
00:53:44EDP agreed to a notice qualification match that he went for?
00:53:48I mean, if you can't wrestle, you can't wrestle, right?
00:53:50Doesn't matter what the stipulations are.
00:53:52Right, absolutely.
00:54:01Diamond Dallas Page.
00:54:03I don't put too much credence into his leg problem, talking about Fred Hart.
00:54:08Well, he's a liar is what he is, and you should know a liar when you see it.
00:54:11Oh, you aren't kidding?
00:54:12You see one every morning when you look in the mirror, so I just mean thank you to you.
00:54:15I mean, you should be able to pick them out all over the place.
00:54:20No, not you.
00:54:23Diamond Dallas Page and Fred Hart.
00:54:25They have had some classic match-ups.
00:54:29This time must be a winner.
00:54:30Yo, this qualification.
00:54:33The fans here in the arena in this gorgeous facility, sold out, are ready to go.
00:54:40I mean, when you talk about the intensity, you said the end of the year, the granddaddy
00:54:44of Amal's dark case.
00:54:45Think of this.
00:54:46Goldberg just signed a match for the Heavyweight Championship of the World with probably one
00:54:53of the few people in this sport that has a chance at knocking him off.
00:54:56And he leaves the building and goes outside to fight another guy.
00:54:58Yeah, outside where there's so many ways you can get hurt.
00:55:02I'll tell you right now, Goldberg is unhurtable.
00:55:07You heard it here.
00:55:08No one can hurt this man.
00:55:10He doesn't care.
00:55:10He fears no man.
00:55:12And we're going to talk more about that as we need to focus our attention here on Diamond
00:55:16Dallas Page and Bret Hart.
00:55:18It's a groin injury.
00:55:20A groin injury, certainly a legitimate groin injury, is the most delicate of injuries.
00:55:25It's the one that's the toughest to heal.
00:55:27It takes so long.
00:55:28Because there's no way to really wrap it.
00:55:30There's no way to put a cast on it if it's hurt.
00:55:32And it's very, very difficult for any athlete who has a groin injury.
00:55:35It takes a long time.
00:55:36It's if, in fact, he has one.
00:55:38But he seems to be walking okay, if you ask me.
00:55:41Well, he had to borrow some gear.
00:55:42He got a pair of tennis shoes from someone.
00:55:44And it's obvious to me he's got on Rey Mysterio's pants.
00:55:48He's going to stop back into the corner now.
00:55:52The turnbuckle.
00:55:54And leg seems to work okay.
00:55:56Now, remember, it's no disqualification.
00:55:58So he can do that blatantly in front of the referee and get away with it.
00:56:01And for Charles Robinson, the only thing he can do right now is give a couple of warnings.
00:56:06Either count a man out, disqualify hard.
00:56:08One, two, three, or a submission.
00:56:10There's no disqualification here.
00:56:13Meanwhile, in the corner, Bret Hart using the things he knows best, the low road.
00:56:17Now, if I was Diamond Dallas, as he can see there, Bret Hart has a knee brace on.
00:56:23That right knee.
00:56:24And he's favoring it.
00:56:25He's wobbling a little bit.
00:56:27I'd go right after that.
00:56:29I mean, Bret would go right after your leg.
00:56:31Sure, I'll tell you what I'd do first.
00:56:32Go after the groin.
00:56:34Do a low blow and uppercut.
00:56:35See how hurt it really is.
00:56:37Paige is going to start with a head, though, and work his way down.
00:56:40I like your thinking, Shivani.
00:56:41Sure.
00:56:43You're getting to be despicable.
00:56:44You're great.
00:56:45And here we go.
00:56:46If it really is injured, we're going to know right now.
00:56:50Oh, my ache and groin.
00:56:51Meanwhile, figure four time.
00:56:56We saw this, remember, back in World War.
00:56:58Oh, no.
00:56:59The biggest man in sports.
00:57:02The Giant's on his way.
00:57:04The Giant has dribbled out of here.
00:57:05Over 500 pounds.
00:57:08And DDP couldn't get away from it.
00:57:10He saw him coming, but he was hooked.
00:57:14It's no disqualification that Giant can do what he wants to hit.
00:57:17And he's doing it.
00:57:19Oh, he threw him all the way over the top rope.
00:57:21And he's going in after him.
00:57:24He set a trap for him.
00:57:26Helpless now is DDP at the mercy of the stipulations.
00:57:33Choke slam.
00:57:35This is all legal.
00:57:36This is all hard work.
00:57:37It's all legal.
00:57:38It's no disqualification.
00:57:42One choke slam.
00:57:44That could be all.
00:57:46Matter of fact, that is all.
00:57:48Page is out.
00:57:50Referee's got nothing to do but count.
00:57:52Come on, just cover the man.
00:57:59That's all he's got to do here.
00:58:03Yeah, but that's not Bret Hart now, is it?
00:58:08Are they waking him up to give him another one?
00:58:11That's not Bret Hart.
00:58:12He's got to do it another way.
00:58:14He's got to dip lower to the bottom of the barrel.
00:58:18Gonna give him another one.
00:58:19Not, no.
00:58:22He's not getting up from that, Tony.
00:58:31He wouldn't.
00:58:32I don't think he could have gotten up for the first one.
00:58:36Bret Hart is a different Bret Hart than I've known.
00:58:39This is a sad, sick man right there.
00:58:42Jealousy runs through his body.
00:58:45He has all the ability.
00:58:47Come on, just pit.
00:58:48I doubt if Page will give up.
00:58:51Chubbs here, Page is out.
00:58:53I mean, if they revive him, he won't give up.
00:58:57Charles Robinson knows what's going on here.
00:59:00Show some mercy.
00:59:01Ring the bell.
00:59:02He's got to go by the book here.
00:59:03It's one, two.
00:59:05The man's not going to raise his arm for three.
00:59:06Come on, let's get this over.
00:59:08This is just, this is horrible.
00:59:10It's over.
00:59:10Ring it, ring it.
00:59:11There's your new U.S. champ.
00:59:12Ladies and gentlemen, Jupiter.
00:59:15Who I can tell you right now, lured and diving down his page into this.
00:59:19No groin pole, no injury.
00:59:25I had a groin pole about I was wrestling.
00:59:27You could barely get dressed, let alone walk.
00:59:29I don't want to hear about your groin pole.
00:59:31I'm not going to tell you about it.
00:59:33How do you like that?
00:59:33Lost form of life is on top again, ladies and gentlemen.
00:59:36Don't get mad at me because he won the title.
00:59:38I didn't win the title, he didn't win the title.
00:59:40There's a great message to do with him to win the title.
00:59:42You have to get in my case because he won the title.
00:59:44Shut up, shut up.
00:59:46There's a break in the clouds, though, because we've got it confirmed.
00:59:50Bischoff must go in the ring against Ric Flair at Starrcade.
00:59:54That's all been confirmed tonight as Paige is spit on by the Giants.
01:00:00Red Hart, Paige still out, has become the United States champion here tonight, live on WCW Monday Nitro.
01:00:14Here it is again from way up top, Ric.
01:00:16Giants got DDP up there off that top rope, put him up there, stood him up there, and then drove him to the middle.
01:00:22He didn't have a chance.
01:00:23This is the second one he took at the hands of the Giants, and we've got a new United States champion, and his name is Brett the Hitman Hart.
01:00:33Once again, there's DDP at the end of the hand of the Giants, being driven into that map.
01:00:39He wasn't going anyplace.
01:00:41Your winner, Brett the Hitman Hart.
01:00:44Yeah, it was all a big setup from day one.
01:00:48Well, fans, this has been a wild night of Nitro.
01:00:51We're live Thursday.
01:00:51The best it was, and the best it ever will be.
01:00:54United States heavyweight championship belt.
01:00:56Backward for us.
01:00:57You don't care what you have to say, Brett Hart.
01:00:59You're the champ.
01:01:00You stole it again.
01:01:01For Mean Gene, for Larry Zabisco, for Bobby the Brain.
01:01:03He is telling you the money.
01:01:05Let me see if it works.
01:01:05Shut up!
01:01:07You lost heavyweight champ, and won 10 TDP.
01:01:14Let me see if it works.
