00:02:19Wow!
00:02:20Do we have a problem?
00:02:21Eddie Guerrero, on top of the Latina world.
00:02:33Man, girls, if I can promise these vatos is the world,
00:02:38don't you think I can give it to you, baby?
00:02:40Definitely.
00:02:41That's right.
00:02:42Because who's the man?
00:02:43You are.
00:02:44Who's the vato loco?
00:02:46You are.
00:02:48Who's the homie?
00:02:49You are.
00:02:50That's right.
00:02:51And don't anybody forget it.
00:03:02Chachos.
00:03:03Hey.
00:03:05More money, the respect you deserve,
00:03:12and now beautiful women around you.
00:03:15Hey, man, show me some gratitude.
00:03:19Damon, give me a soda.
00:03:22Oh, ladies, would you like a soda, too?
00:03:26Yeah.
00:03:27Dondi, show us the gentlemen at your own homes,
00:03:31and go help Damon with the sodas.
00:03:35Oh, Damon, Damon, Damon.
00:03:37Oh, this is good.
00:03:45Bro, full house.
00:03:48My money.
00:03:48And W, hermanos.
00:03:53Yes.
00:03:53Who is Eddie?
00:03:55T-shirt is Tumash, cabrones.
00:03:56That's Tracy.
00:03:58Oh, yes.
00:03:59What a party this is.
00:04:01L-W-O in the house.
00:04:03L-W-O in the house.
00:04:03L-W-O in the house.
00:04:04See, I just got one thing to say.
00:04:06It's not about you, Dondi.
00:04:08And it's not about you, Silver King.
00:04:10Or you, Damon.
00:04:11It's not about my homies.
00:04:13It's about the whole world.
00:04:15It's about L-W-O.
00:04:17Because it is all of us, and only united, do we stand.
00:04:23The time has come for you to respect L-W-O.
00:04:28L-W-O, L-W-O, L-W-O, L-W-O, L-W-O, L-W-O.
00:04:35Eddie Guerrero with the L-W-O, uniting, solid as ever.
00:04:41Coming together, having a grand party, obviously, and it's gonna take us here to the next match.
00:04:46We welcome to the broadcast location, Bobby the Brain Heaton.
00:04:50And Brain, break yourself here because you look across our broadcast colleague right here.
00:04:55Eric Bischoff has said nothing.
00:04:58And maybe you can bring something out of him.
00:05:00I don't know.
00:05:01You've always been able to buddy up to him, suck up to him, whatever you want to call him.
00:05:05Hey, hey, hey.
00:05:06But look at him.
00:05:08Once again, he's back to us here.
00:05:10Hey, Mike, I mean, Eric, what's wrong?
00:05:14Come on, pal.
00:05:14It's not the end of the world.
00:05:16It's not talking.
00:05:17It's okay.
00:05:18Things could be worse.
00:05:20We'll be working for tonight.
00:05:23Hey.
00:05:24Don't laugh.
00:05:25We all could be.
00:05:27Well, this is scheduled now.
00:05:32Eric, maybe you can comment on this as a tornado match.
00:05:35As Cruiserweight champ Kidman and Rey Mysterio Jr. will play psychosis and Ruben Tutorera, the L-W-O.
00:05:41Well, and that means, Eric, you may want to chime in here that it's going to be all four men in the ring at the same time.
00:05:50Tony, has Ernest Melor been out here tonight, the cat?
00:05:54No, I haven't seen it.
00:05:55Then I wonder who's got Eric's tongue.
00:05:58Ha, ha, ha.
00:05:59Ha, ha.
00:06:00I'm sorry.
00:06:01We shouldn't be laughing at you.
00:06:02No, I'm sorry, too.
00:06:03I just don't mean to do that.
00:06:04I just don't mean to do that.
00:06:06Nevertheless, and let's not make light of too much here because we have a very serious situation developing not only in the back here and the interrogation of Ms. Elizabeth, but across the way of the police precinct.
00:06:21I got it.
00:06:21I got it, Eddie.
00:06:22Don't worry about it, baby.
00:06:23Where Goldberg is being held right now for questioning due to what they call aggravated stalking charges from Ms. Elizabeth.
00:06:31I find that very hard to believe.
00:06:33I mean, she's a beautiful woman.
00:06:34I mean, I can see why people would stalk her, I can see why people would look at her, I can see why people would send her flowers and candy.
00:06:40But for Goldberg to stalk her, I don't know.
00:06:42He's got too many things on his mind.
00:06:43He's got a big agenda.
00:06:44He's got a big plate.
00:06:45It's full.
00:06:46I don't know.
00:06:47But then again, who knows what a man will do?
00:06:50The urgency of the situation, I mean, it's bad enough that this has happened, but the urgency is that he and Kevin Nash have a match for the world title.
00:06:59And we've got 40,000 fans on hand here waiting to see that match.
00:07:03I mean, that's what the urgency is, and I implore, and I know the police are not listening to this broadcast.
00:07:08They need to, they being the police, to get this done, and our legal department needs to get this hammered out and get him back in time to get dressed and prepared for this match.
00:07:16Well, that's got to be done.
00:07:18You're right about that.
00:07:18Legal people have to get involved.
00:07:20You know, when somebody presses charges against you, it's very hard to, you have to go before a judge, you have to be bailed out, you have to have a lawyer, you have, there's so many ramifications.
00:07:31I wouldn't want to be involved in anything like that.
00:07:33Well, I don't, we do not need to speak out of turn because this is the legal process, and, and, but nevertheless, this.
00:07:41I got a heck of a lawyer.
00:07:42If you want him, he'll be out in two months.
00:07:44Shut up, please.
00:07:44This is incomprehensible, to be honest with you, that something like this would transpire.
00:07:49And fans, you saw the demeanor of one Kevin Nash, he wanted this, he's the one that, that demanded the match be the world champion last week when we were in Baltimore, Bray.
00:08:00Have you ever seen Elizabeth or around Goldberg or have a conversation with him?
00:08:04I never have either.
00:08:06You know, and for the right, I'll be a witness.
00:08:08Well, I'm sure we're going to get the pose, so you just hold your comments until then.
00:08:13And this thing strings out even further.
00:08:17Oh!
00:08:18Meanwhile, in the ring, spectacular maneuvers, one, two, we almost got a cover.
00:08:23And there's been a bond now that's developed with Ray Jr. here and Cruiserweight champ Kidman.
00:08:29And we did see a little, a little bit of Ray, who's still in the LWO during that party that Eddie was throwing for the Latino World Order.
00:08:37Wasn't happy being there, as you can understand, but he's a part of it.
00:08:40And he's all over the top and a bar, sending now Hogan 2 down.
00:08:45All the way to the floor, United Guerrero.
00:08:48Nobody throws a party better than Ric Flair.
00:08:51Eddie Guerrero's pretty close behind.
00:08:53I'd like to be at that party, amigo.
00:08:55Here comes Hogan 2 from the top, from the top of the springboard, and
00:09:00a spectacular maneuver, sending the man down with a double dropkick.
00:09:04Eric, please, any time just jump in here.
00:09:09I mean, this is your job now.
00:09:11You've got-
00:09:12You want me to leave so you and Eric can just be alone and maybe you can get it out of him.
00:09:15No, for the first time in my life, I want you to stay right where you are.
00:09:18That's terrifying.
00:09:19Boy, is it ever.
00:09:20So I need some help here.
00:09:24Listen, you're obviously not gonna say anything.
00:09:29I'm not gonna ask you another question, just sit over here.
00:09:31You talking to me?
00:09:33No, you think I'm talking to him.
00:09:35I never know, you talk to me like that sometimes.
00:09:37And you deserve it.
00:09:38Well, talk to Eric.
00:09:39Eric, come on, jump in.
00:09:41He's not gonna say anything.
00:09:42Remember we started Nitro, Eric, you and I, and Mongo?
00:09:45Yeah, and- Of the Horseman.
00:09:46Right, right.
00:09:47See?
00:09:50Remember Mall of America?
00:09:52Yep, 1995.
00:09:54You remember Thursday?
00:09:56Thursday?
00:09:58I'm just trying to throw something at him, just get him to talk.
00:10:00Meanwhile, in the ring, Rey whipped in, and here comes, psychosis.
00:10:05Moving out of the way, Rey Mysterio Jr., watch out, pick up, backbreaker.
00:10:09And a great move by Rey Jr.
00:10:11Boy, he got him good on that one.
00:10:13Dropkick from behind.
00:10:14Wild match we got going on here, fans, there is no doubt.
00:10:22And hopefully, we are going to have that world title match for you.
00:10:26Stay with us.
00:10:27We are going to understand, try to get back to the police precinct,
00:10:32cross the street at the CNN Center, and also back to the interview,
00:10:37or the interrogation, if you will, of Miss Elizabeth.
00:10:39Almost had him.
00:10:43As it relates to this, and also,
00:10:45Brain, as we've mentioned many times, DDP is here.
00:10:49We're gonna see him a little bit later on.
00:10:51Also, Hollywood Hogan's gonna make his first statement to the fans
00:10:56since announcing his retirement back on Thanksgiving in 1998.
00:10:59He got him.
00:11:02Yeah, don't touch that clicker.
00:11:03There's a lot more to see.
00:11:04You don't wanna miss any of this.
00:11:06Right, Eric?
00:11:08Move, Eric, or it'll throw dirt on you.
00:11:10He hasn't moved.
00:11:13The legs are still not gonna say anything, eh?
00:11:16All right.
00:11:17He's not a happy camper.
00:11:19I'm not happy about what I gotta do tomorrow in the office.
00:11:22Take me!
00:11:23You know I've always been on your side, Tony.
00:11:25Up to the top.
00:11:27Brain, I'm not anybody's team, I just work together, all right?
00:11:30Then forget it.
00:11:31Double action.
00:11:31Oh!
00:11:32Oh!
00:11:33Ducky Lopes, Kidman of the attack.
00:11:35He's got both men!
00:11:36Oh!
00:11:38Oh!
00:11:39Oh!
00:11:40Oh!
00:11:41Oh!
00:11:42Oh!
00:11:43Oh!
00:11:44Oh!
00:11:45Oh!
00:11:46Oh!
00:11:47Oh!
00:11:48Oh!
00:11:49Oh!
00:11:50Oh!
00:11:51Oh!
00:11:52Oh!
00:11:53Oh!
00:11:54Oh!
00:11:55Oh!
00:11:56Oh!
00:11:57Elliot!
00:11:58Oh!
00:11:59Ikhofclub ring post!
00:12:00They jump off with double eye's handle blows from the top to the floor.
00:12:03Rolling now on PSYCHOSUS first back in.
00:12:05Hell of a move, Mike, I mean, eric!
00:12:10Eric is the name, okay.
00:12:11We are gonna start calling him not on a log.
00:12:18One, two, double X handle, prevented that one.
00:12:26And it was a save there by Hoovitude, Bobby the Brain.
00:12:29Obviously, these guys are no cream puffs.
00:12:31They're in there, as soon as the bell rings, they're going full throttle.
00:12:35Yes, they are.
00:12:35They put their life, their health on the line, every maneuver, every match.
00:12:41They wrestle as intense in a tag match or a tornado match as they would for
00:12:46a Cruiserweight Championship.
00:12:46Look at this, look at this, Tony.
00:12:48The Hoovy driver.
00:12:50I got it.
00:12:51Two cap, Kidman thrown over the top to the floor.
00:12:58And Ablee now double teamed here by members of the LWO on one of their own.
00:13:04I think this bothers Guerrero the most.
00:13:08The fact that they don't stick up for their own kind.
00:13:10They don't stick up for their own Latin people.
00:13:12Ray just too quick.
00:13:16Too quick.
00:13:17Too quick.
00:13:18Grabbing the legs, sending the man down through the legs, goes Ray Jr., hooking the waist,
00:13:21over the top, landing on his feet, Hoovitude.
00:13:24He's got Ray Hook standing, switch.
00:13:27Kidman came off and inadvertently kicked Ray in the back of the hand.
00:13:30You got the wrong man.
00:13:31You got the wrong man.
00:13:32And the guaranteed leg drop.
00:13:33They got him here.
00:13:35That's right, you're right, it's over.
00:13:37I didn't see him kicking out of that one.
00:13:39Ablee isский dobre neck speed.
00:13:42Crass simplest ending of this match.
00:13:44Eric Bishop wouldn't you agree.
00:13:48Say something, even in Spanish Eric.
00:13:59You're following to the arenas, the hotels, and the gym.
00:14:06Let me tell you something, Jack.
00:14:09We're both booked at all the arenas around the country, first of all.
00:14:13Second of all, hotels. Office puts us up at all the hotels.
00:14:16The same place.
00:14:19In the gym?
00:14:21I train at gyms all around the country. What are you talking about?
00:14:24She said the Ibaki gym.
00:14:27Jack, come on. She's a member at Ibaki gym.
00:14:31And the reason why I'm always there is because I own it.
00:14:36This is an example of how ridiculous this is.
00:14:41I want out of here now.
00:14:43Bill, calm down. Look, we're going to check it out.
00:14:45As soon as we find the information, I'm going to let you know, okay?
00:14:48Just do your job. Get these cuffs off me. Get me back to the arena.
00:14:51I'll be right back.
00:14:53We are live from Atlanta on WCW Monday Nitro here on TNT.
00:14:58Ladies and gentlemen, I'm certain if you've been watching, and you have,
00:15:03over the past few minutes, you have seen what has happened to Goldberg with that.
00:15:08I would like to introduce to you the current reigning WCW heavyweight champion of the world.
00:15:15Ladies and gentlemen, from the Wolfpack, Kevin Nash.
00:15:23Still gets quite an ovation.
00:15:25Even as a result of what will go down as a very tainted victory at Starrcade.
00:15:30And you know, you heard how angry he was, and you're taking back to Dean Oakley.
00:15:35You have asked for time to respond to what we've seen over the past few minutes.
00:15:39Kevin Nash, this is your forum, my friend.
00:15:42Yeah, at Starrcade, a lot of people say that Kevin Nash beat Bill Goldberg.
00:15:49As far as I'm concerned, at Starrcade, Bill Goldberg got screwed.
00:15:55I've been sitting back there in the locker room getting ready for a match with Goldberg.
00:16:04And I watched the turn of events that's happened tonight with Liz coming up with some trumped-up charges.
00:16:09And it doesn't take Clouseau to figure out that I know who's behind this.
00:16:14And that's you, Hogan.
00:16:21So it's real simple.
00:16:23Since the Nature Boys seems to be righting all the wrongs, Nature, I'm asking you, let me have Hogan tonight.
00:16:31I know for a fact...
00:16:35I know for a fact that you've had eight days to go over contracts.
00:16:39I know Hogan's still under contract.
00:16:41I want Hogan tonight.
00:16:43Call it a warm-up, because I know at the end of the night, Goldberg and me will be in the ring for the world title.
00:16:48Wow.
00:16:50I think that's what these folks wanted to hear tonight, Kevin Nash.
00:16:54So Hogan, if you're out there, and I know you are in the back, it's real simple.
00:17:00You and I, hook it up tonight.
00:17:02Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute.
00:17:04President of World Championship Wrestling, Ric Flair, you've had to be dialing in on all of this conversation.
00:17:10Did you hear the request of Kevin Nash?
00:17:15First of all, regardless of whether I agree with how he got it, he is the world heavyweight champion of the greatest wrestling organization in the world.
00:17:26I don't know what's happened to Goldberg, but I know this for a fact.
00:17:30If Liz is involved, Hogan's pulling the strings.
00:17:34And if Hogan's pulling the strings, and thinks he's gonna dance off to Hollywood, make a movie, and make a mockery of his company, he's wrong.
00:17:44Tonight, Hogan, you're under contract.
00:17:47If Goldberg can't make the match, you, my friend, in front of 40,000, and the world, are gonna wrestle.
00:17:55Big thanks, you guys.
00:17:56Yeah!
00:17:57Whoo!
00:17:58How about that?
00:17:59Thank you, baby.
00:18:00Tony Schiavone, I think that match has been made.
00:18:03We've got a new president, and we've got a whole new attitude.
00:18:06Kevin Nash, I thank you.
00:18:08Back to you, Tony.
00:18:09All right, Gene, thanks a lot.
00:18:10And also, he said he wanted to face Goldberg later on tonight as well, when Goldberg comes back.
00:18:16Hey, is Hogan the root of all this?
00:18:19One would think so.
00:18:20Goldberg and Nash, will it happen?
00:18:22Tired.
00:18:23Tired.
00:18:52Did.
00:18:53I think so.
00:19:00It's got it.
00:19:10Pause, play, and shoot, play.
00:19:13I don't know anything about blood.
00:19:16Pit.
00:19:17Oh, ourJean.
00:19:18Get this all too.
00:19:19Good.
00:19:20Well, I didn't want to be the first one to say it, but thanks to Kevin Nash and Rick
00:19:25Flair, they said it first.
00:19:26Yeah, lawyers are.
00:19:27But it does seem that maybe Hogan is behind this.
00:19:30Maybe this is some chumped-up charge.
00:19:32With that in mind, we're going to go back live now as the detectives talk to Ms. Elizabeth
00:19:36again.
00:19:37Ms. Elizabeth, can you tell me exactly where this happened?
00:19:41Uh, you know, I've already told your partner everything, and, you know, I don't think...
00:19:47Do I have to repeat this again?
00:19:48Why do I have to...
00:19:49Yes, ma'am, you do.
00:19:50For myself.
00:19:51Kind of a bad speller.
00:19:52I need to write it all down.
00:19:55Now, where did exactly this happen now?
00:19:58The last incident that you were trying to explain earlier?
00:20:01Um, I was at the Coke machine, and I was just getting myself a Diet Pepsi.
00:20:07I turn around, and there he is.
00:20:09Okay, he's...
00:20:10What was he wearing?
00:20:12Um, red tights.
00:20:14What tights?
00:20:15Red tights.
00:20:16Okay, now, you said he followed you all over the place.
00:20:19Went to the Marriott, I understand.
00:20:20Yes.
00:20:21Where else?
00:20:22Uh, he's followed me to the arenas, he's followed me to the gym, he's followed me...
00:20:28Any particular gym?
00:20:30It's, uh, the Obaki gym.
00:20:31Obaki gym.
00:20:32Yes.
00:20:33Okay, now, when you say followed you, did he confront you, touch you or anything?
00:20:38Did you see him face to face, ma'am?
00:20:40Yes.
00:20:41Face to face.
00:20:42He's always there.
00:20:43Does he ever say anything, ma'am?
00:20:45Of course he does.
00:20:47I...
00:20:48Why am I defending myself here?
00:20:50This is not fair, okay?
00:20:52I...
00:20:53Man, we're just asking routine questions here.
00:20:55We just want to understand what happened.
00:20:57You know, every time, the phone rings, I pick it up, and he hangs up, okay?
00:21:01I mean, I...
00:21:02I don't think I should have to keep defending myself.
00:21:05Oh, I'm not asking you to defend yourself.
00:21:07We're just trying to understand.
00:21:08Yes, you are.
00:21:09Now, when you...
00:21:10He doesn't say anything, but he always hangs up on you.
00:21:12Yes.
00:21:16I'm the victim here.
00:21:17Do you understand that?
00:21:19Yes, ma'am.
00:21:20We understand it.
00:21:21Tell you what, you're getting upset.
00:21:22Why don't you just...
00:21:23Just rest one moment here, okay?
00:21:25Just take your...
00:21:26I want him locked up.
00:21:27Yes, ma'am.
00:21:28I'm tired of this, okay?
00:21:29I've filed all these reports.
00:21:30You people are doing nothing.
00:21:31Yes, ma'am.
00:21:32Just take a breath.
00:21:33Just take a breath.
00:21:34Okay?
00:21:38All right, you've heard the conversations that we've had here in the last ten minutes.
00:21:42First of all, Kevin Nash, you know what's going on with Goldberg.
00:21:46You also heard from the new president of World Championship Wrestling,
00:21:50The Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
00:21:52A lot of the subject matter surrounds this man.
00:21:55Arguably, he is the most popular wrestler of all time.
00:22:00Ladies and gentlemen, in Atlanta tonight, Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
00:22:08Boy, does he sound popular.
00:22:10Well, maybe you're just wrong in that drink.
00:22:13You never have seen.
00:22:15Guys, the fans cannot forget the past, the immediate past, even though he has announced that he will run for president during the next election.
00:22:27And I'll tell you what, he's looking in his mind there.
00:22:29No doubt about it.
00:22:30Hollywood Hulk Hogan has burned some bridges.
00:22:34Made some enemies with wrestling fans.
00:22:37They've learned all around the world.
00:22:39But now, as Flair's standing still under contract.
00:22:42Flair's been fortunate to get in the ring with big transfer contact.
00:22:47And Flair, and I guess maybe even Eugene, we all believe he may be behind all of these charges.
00:22:54Well, Tony, hopefully we can find out in the next few minutes here in conversation with Hollywood Hogan.
00:23:06First of all, all of those political aspirations, where do they stand tonight?
00:23:12Well, you know something, me and Gene?
00:23:15It's quite obvious that the world of professional wrestling still revolves around Hollywood, brother.
00:23:23Check it out.
00:23:24And you know something?
00:23:26I was gonna take this time tonight, because on the Jay Leno Show, I promised my fans that have stuck with me through thick and thin that I was gonna formally say goodbye to them tonight.
00:23:40And I couldn't think of a better place to do it than right here in Atlanta, Georgia, the very home of World Championship Wrestling.
00:23:48I was also gonna take this time tonight to formally announce my vice presidential running mate for the upcoming election.
00:23:59But, brother, when there's positive momentum, there's positive momentum.
00:24:07But when there's negative momentum, there is really negative momentum.
00:24:14And when I came in this building tonight, and when I witnessed this so-called phony hero, this sexual deviant, Bill Goldberg, being escorted out of the building, it just made me sick to my stomach.
00:24:32But the thing that I've heard all around the building tonight that makes me just as sick is the fact that that lucky, big, tall spoon, the new heavyweight champion of the world, Kevin Nash, has been bragging and starting rumors by saying that the only reason Hollywood Hogan retired was because he's afraid to fight me in the center of the world.
00:25:01That just made me sicker than anything mean Gene.
00:25:06All right. I think the jury is out on all of this because, as you know, Ric Flair is now the president of World Championship Wrestling.
00:25:14He says it's a done deal. It's signed. If you come out of retirement tonight, you've got Kevin Nash and a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight title.
00:25:25Well, you know, they say, Wolf Pack's in the house.
00:25:30Well, brother, I've watched the Wolf Pack huff and I've watched him puff, brother.
00:25:38And Ric Flair, he's running things around here. And if he says Hollywood is gonna wrestle, well then, brother, after all the huffing and puffing, I guess I owe my fans one last retirement match.
00:25:55And to the Wolf Pack out there that's been huffing and puffing after tonight, when I beat Kevin Nash, when I retire with the World Heavyweight title, you can just call me Hollywood the Big Bad Wolf.
00:26:15Boom! All right, Tony, I don't know, right now with the state of affairs with Ric Fisch off working the boot, you guys have gotta be in some great company back there.
00:26:26And what about Hollywood Hogan? Back to you, my friend.
00:26:29Well, fans, it just keeps happening, it keeps changing, and that's because we are coming to you live tonight.
00:26:36And it's something no one else in pro wrestling can play.
00:26:40I don't need wrestling boots to beat you up, big man.
00:26:44Fans, as Hollywood Hogan walks away, you look at this 40,000 plus on hand,
00:26:49if you're even thinking about changing the channel to our competition, fans do not.
00:26:55Because we understand that Mick Foley, who wrestled here one time as
00:27:01is going to win their world title.
00:27:04He's gonna put some butts on his feet.
00:27:07Yeah.
00:27:08Talk about buying battle.
00:27:11It's the official WCW MasterCard with 12 exclusive designs.
00:27:17Personally, I carry the Metro girls.
00:27:20You get merchandise discounts, automatic entry into sweet steaks, an insider's newsletter, and other exclusive benefits.
00:27:26You get to pick the hottest wrestling card in history.
00:27:30Show the world where you stay.
00:27:32Choose your card.
00:27:33Order the official WCW MasterCard.
00:27:36Call now, 1-800-WCW-CARD.
00:27:40Okay, earlier we saw Chris Jericho congratulate a referee, one of the referees.
00:27:45And we do understand we're going to do a little eavesdropping based on an interview that was overheard earlier today.
00:27:52That's enough.
00:27:53Hey, hey.
00:27:54Greatest professional wrestling referee of all time.
00:27:56I mean, I could never do what you do with like counting to three and the ringing of the bell.
00:28:00I mean, that is absolutely tremendous.
00:28:01You know the rule book in and out.
00:28:04Which brings me to the next point of a professional wrestler should never be laying his hands on a man of your stature.
00:28:10He should never be touching.
00:28:11Perry Saturn has been throwing you around.
00:28:13I mean, the next time he touches you, you have to disqualify this man immediately.
00:28:18You have to get revenge by using the rules to your advantage.
00:28:21You are the ring general.
00:28:22You are the master in there.
00:28:23Show it.
00:28:24Prove it.
00:28:26Well, so that's why the bell rang so quickly earlier against Perry Saturn, wouldn't you think?
00:28:31A little buttering up on the referee.
00:28:33Would you see it that way there?
00:28:34I smell margarine, not butter.
00:28:37That's the good stuff.
00:28:39Pretty good.
00:28:41He uses smell lard.
00:28:44Here comes the world television champion.
00:28:47Three, two.
00:28:48The new world television champion, Scott Steiner of the NWO along with Buff Bagwell.
00:28:54In a title defense here on WCW Monday Night Club.
00:28:57Yes, for those of you who have been with us all night.
00:29:00Eric, big job is still in our broadcast location, although he has refused to talk.
00:29:07Eric, you're still a part of this broadcast team.
00:29:11You're still welcome.
00:29:13No, no, you're expected to add commentary.
00:29:17But didn't Flair put you in charge of-
00:29:20Well, yes, and then what-
00:29:21Mr, I mean, Eric?
00:29:22Yes, he did.
00:29:23And I'm only in a supervisory capacity, which means I report Flair, which means tomorrow.
00:29:30And I've told you this, Eric, full report off Mr. Flair's desk.
00:29:34When you were a kid in school, did you tell on other kids?
00:29:36No.
00:29:37I did.
00:29:38Well, I bet you did.
00:29:39It was fun.
00:29:40NWO.
00:29:43Cut the music.
00:29:48As all you women are tripping, looking at the greatest body in professional sports,
00:29:56I need to know one thing.
00:29:59If you're tired of being with your fat, out of shape, gas pumping redneck,
00:30:05and you want to be with a real man.
00:30:08Cuz all you got to do is grab my hand, and I'll take you to Loveland,
00:30:16and I'll show you who's the Superman.
00:30:21So this goes to all you freaks out there.
00:30:24Big Bum Bum Bum, here's your hookup.
00:30:27Holler if you hear me.
00:30:29A lot of freaks out there.
00:30:34You know, ever since me and Buff burned Mark McGuire's hat and jersey,
00:30:47WCW have tried to censor me.
00:30:52Please.
00:30:53You see, every attack that I've done on WCW have been for a reason.
00:30:59And now that I got the belt, you can't censor me.
00:31:04I'm out of control.
00:31:06I'm out of my mind, and I'm loving it.
00:31:09Scottie, Scottie, listen.
00:31:14Let me show you something I learned.
00:31:16You're gonna love it.
00:31:17Watch this.
00:31:18Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:31:23You okay, Marcus?
00:31:24Marcus, what's the matter?
00:31:25Come on, come on.
00:31:26I just got over that tipple belt.
00:31:28I shouldn't be doing this dance yet.
00:31:31Don't do that dance then, man.
00:31:37Now, for some reason, K-Dawg wants me to beat him up one more time.
00:31:45So I don't have a problem with that.
00:31:47So K-Dawg, come back down here right now so I can beat you up.
00:31:53And then I'm coming out after one of you people that thinks they're man enough to make me and kick me out.
00:32:00So here comes the former television champion, K-Dawg.
00:32:04Come on, rednecks.
00:32:06You are next.
00:32:08After I beat him, I'm coming out in the crowd.
00:32:11Big Papa Pop of the NWO, of your NWO official is a man truly, literally out of control.
00:32:24Well, this man Conan is a street person.
00:32:27He can do aerial moves.
00:32:29He can wrestle in the ring.
00:32:30He can fight you outside.
00:32:31He can do whatever you want to do.
00:32:33I don't think I'd call this man out.
00:32:35Would you, Mike?
00:32:36I mean, Eric?
00:32:37He's doing his Marcel Marcel impersonation.
00:32:41Been doing it all night.
00:32:44Why don't you have him sit on your lap and put your hand up his back like a puppet?
00:32:48But you shut up.
00:32:50Sorry, Howdy.
00:32:51Yo, yo, yo, K-Dawg.
00:32:54What, you didn't have enough last week?
00:32:57You want to get your butt kicked again, boy?
00:33:00Because I'll do it.
00:33:01You got that?
00:33:03Mets gets jump started as K-Dawg takes up both men.
00:33:07And Conan, right hands.
00:33:09The whip into the ropes.
00:33:11Oh, the clubby forearm shot between the shoulder blades by Big Papa Pop.
00:33:18This man is so powerful, Tony, you can't believe it.
00:33:22He works out constantly.
00:33:23His whole life is conditioning.
00:33:25He's so hard to beat.
00:33:26And with the attitude he has now, Conan's gonna have his hands full.
00:33:30They both gonna have their hands full.
00:33:32One, two.
00:33:34Kick out.
00:33:36Running over top of Big Papa Pop.
00:33:38Good job.
00:33:40Fans, I wanna reiterate something that I talked about before the commercial break.
00:33:45If you're thinking about changing channels to our competition,
00:33:49we wanna let you know that unlike us, they've got their show in the can.
00:33:54Their show's been taped.
00:33:55Later tonight, Mick Foley, who once wrestled here as Cactus Jack,
00:33:59is gonna win their world title.
00:34:01I got it, Scottie.
00:34:02I got it.
00:34:03I got it.
00:34:04I got it.
00:34:05You sure?
00:34:06That's gonna be their world champion.
00:34:08Ha, ha.
00:34:09Eric, you got something to say about that?
00:34:16What, Scottie?
00:34:17He is good-looking.
00:34:18He is good-looking.
00:34:19You gotta laugh about that.
00:34:20Ha, ha.
00:34:21Kick him inside.
00:34:22We're here live every night.
00:34:23They're not.
00:34:24He is good-looking.
00:34:25Get it?
00:34:26Go ahead.
00:34:27And I thought for sure he'd say something about that.
00:34:31He really is mad.
00:34:33He's gonna say something eventually.
00:34:35Do you speak Spanish?
00:34:37Meanwhile, K-Dog getting bludgeoned.
00:34:41Two against one the whole night.
00:34:43That's the way it is.
00:34:45You know, potentially here, Big Papa Pump could hold on this television belt for
00:34:50a long time.
00:34:51And Brain, you know, the television belt has been one that has changed hands
00:34:54frequently over the past number of years.
00:34:56Remember back in the 80s when a man used to hold the title for over a year,
00:35:00because of the competition, that's gone.
00:35:02But if anybody has a chance of holding it on for a long time, it's Big Papa Pump
00:35:06because of his ability, because he's in the NWO, and because he's got butt bag well
00:35:11with him everywhere he goes.
00:35:12And not only that, the way WCW arranges matches and they book things, they're trying
00:35:16to get the best competition of all time for the viewers out there.
00:35:19So that's why that title changed hands.
00:35:21Years ago, when you had that television title, you could kind of handpick the
00:35:24Hammond Eggers you wanted to get in the ring with.
00:35:27Not that way anymore.
00:35:30Right, Eric?
00:35:32One thing we can guarantee you.
00:35:33Mike.
00:35:34One thing.
00:35:35Answer to nothing.
00:35:36At least he cut you a look that time.
00:35:39I see that place.
00:35:40Forward to you.
00:35:41I was forward to you.
00:35:42Not me.
00:35:43Yes, look right at you.
00:35:44Did Bischoff.
00:35:45I was behind you.
00:35:46One thing you can guarantee, this is week number one
00:35:50of 1999, Monday Nitro.
00:35:53We're gonna be live every Monday.
00:35:55We're gonna be live, bringing you wrestling action as it happens.
00:35:58Bring you incidents as they happen like Goldberg.
00:36:01Hopefully, and we haven't gone over to the precinct in a while.
00:36:04Hopefully, Goldberg can make it back.
00:36:06But we do know Nash and Hollywood.
00:36:08Watch this, Tony.
00:36:09Nash and Hollywood Hogan will go at it later tonight for the world title.
00:36:14What a way to kick off the year.
00:36:16Wow, this has been nothing short of a bizarre, exciting, unpredictable, live.
00:36:24Let me stress that again, live as it happens.
00:36:27We're what?
00:36:28We're what?
00:36:29Live.
00:36:30And it's only gonna get better.
00:36:32Stay tuned the whole year.
00:36:33The best athletes in the world are here.
00:36:38You're looking at them.
00:36:43Into the refs, ducking low, watch out.
00:36:46To the midsection, it's staggered.
00:36:48Big Puff Puff.
00:36:49Coming down, head first.
00:36:50K-Dawg could regain the belt right here.
00:36:52Now he walked away, he's going for the Tequila Sunrise.
00:36:57Oh yeah, Jimmy Buffet, I hear it.
00:37:00That was, actually the Eagles sang that song, watch out.
00:37:04Knocked him down.
00:37:05Close.
00:37:06And the bell is sounded in the grips of the Tequila Sunrise.
00:37:13Buff Baglow enables Big Puff Puff to hold onto the belt, and he shoved the referee.
00:37:19And now their bozo referee comes in.
00:37:26And they're gonna put on the Steiner Recliner for what?
00:37:29Match is over.
00:37:30Now the referee's calling the bell.
00:37:32Who's your winner on this one?
00:37:34K-Dawg, he's your winner.
00:37:36Conan's your winner by this qualification.
00:37:38But Brain, as you know, he won't win the belt this way.
00:37:41The belt will stay around the waist of Scott Steiner.
00:37:44Uh-oh.
00:37:45He's not coming here, is he?
00:37:48I pray not.
00:37:50If he comes here, Bischoff, we're getting behind you.
00:37:53And I'll be behind you, Tony.
00:37:57They're doing a number of Conan right now.
00:37:59Oh boy, they're trying to destroy Conan.
00:38:01First of all, on the shoulder, now on the knee, with that steel chair.
00:38:07There he is, Big Papa Puff.
00:38:10And I hate to even say this, but you can look and you can see.
00:38:16That man is a powerful athlete.
00:38:19That man is really a champion.
00:38:22What do they have?
00:38:23Number one, number one.
00:38:26It's a journey.
00:38:28Winding, winding, twisting, twisting, turning, turning.
00:38:32Never knowing how the path chosen will affect your life.
00:38:36Answer, answer, answer, answer.
00:38:39There's no turning back.
00:38:41Loyalties will be tested, souls will be sold.
00:38:45It's WCWNWO sold out.
00:38:49Sunday, January 17th, live and only on pay-per-view.
00:38:54Call your cable or satellite company to order now.
00:38:57Reminder, on Thursday, January 21st, we're going to have Thunder in Indianapolis at the Market Square Arena.
00:39:03Tickets are on sale at the Box Office and Ticketmaster.
00:39:06And on February 4th and Thursday, we're going to have Thunder in Providence, Rhode Island, the Providence Civic Center.
00:39:11Tickets to the Box Office and Ticketmaster locations.
00:39:14We've got some information about on sale dates this weekend in Oakland, California, Sacramento, California, as Rath makes his way out.
00:39:21Once again, fans, we have not heard yet back across the street at the police precinct of what's going on with Goldberg or
00:39:28more about the deposition, I guess I should call it the interview with Miss Elizabeth.
00:39:33We do know Hollywood Hogan and Kevin Nash will go at it for the world title here tonight.
00:39:39That's a shocker.
00:39:40Hogan came here just to address the fans.
00:39:42And Ric Flair now has said, hey, you are going to wrestle.
00:39:47And that's big time matchup guys, Hollywood Hogan and Kevin Nash for the world title.
00:39:52And even Nash said, hey, I'll even face Goldberg later tonight.
00:39:55I know Goldberg can get out of this and he'll be back as well as what Kevin Nash said.
00:39:59Goldberg's jail, baby.
00:40:01Did you hear something?
00:40:04I heard a voice, a strange voice I haven't heard for a long time.
00:40:07Eric Bischoff has finally said something.
00:40:11Thank you for adding something to this.
00:40:13You know, for the last six months, I've been plowing through the competition like a runaway freight train.
00:40:22It has.
00:40:25And I know you people paid your money tonight to see Wrath drop the thermonuclear meltdown on the dome.
00:40:36And you know what?
00:40:41I really don't have a problem with that.
00:40:44What I do have a problem with is no competition.
00:40:48So if there's anybody back there in the back who's got the guts and can be a man and step up to the plate.
00:40:59Come on down.
00:41:04That's a big challenge.
00:41:05And of course the man can really back it up.
00:41:07And it's one of the things that live TV is all about.
00:41:10I mean, here's a man coming out and making a challenge to anyone.
00:41:13And oh my.
00:41:14Whoa.
00:41:15Bam Bam Bigelow.
00:41:18That's not just anyone.
00:41:20The Beast from the East.
00:41:22That's a big man.
00:41:23What a matchup we have for you here live on TNT.
00:41:30Bigelow and Wrath.
00:41:32The super heavyweights are gonna collide.
00:41:35Ring that bell.
00:41:38And maybe we got a sample of a little bit that we heard from Bischoff.
00:41:42Maybe like to give a comment or two on what we're about to see here.
00:41:45Maybe he's gonna just speak on his own when he wants to.
00:41:50Anyway, as Mickie J calls the bell, it sounded, here we go.
00:41:54Still to come tonight, Kevin Nash and Hollywood Hogan live here in the Georgia Dome for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:42:01As Goldberg right now still at the police precinct across the street here from the Georgia Dome into the midsection.
00:42:07Jail bait.
00:42:10Into the midsection.
00:42:12It's ducking low as Wrath.
00:42:14Wrath runs over Bam Bam Bigelow.
00:42:16How about that?
00:42:17And drives his head down.
00:42:21And Bam Bam with a great move to pull down over the top all the way to the floor goes Wrath.
00:42:27He set him up for that move, Tony.
00:42:30He knew where he was.
00:42:31He was a little dazed, but he dropped that top rope and he got him on that floor where he loved him.
00:42:36Fans, we've been following the Goldberg story all night.
00:42:39We'll continue to do so.
00:42:40Prison Punk.
00:42:42That's all you're gonna add, right?
00:42:45You're just gonna say things about Goldberg.
00:42:47Come on, bring it in!
00:42:48All right?
00:42:49What you wanna do, what you wanna add, you can't, I guess.
00:42:52Hit first, into the ring pulse.
00:42:54Now, Wrath tried to block it, but really the power of Bam Bam Bigelow just got the head right through the hand that time to the arms.
00:43:01It's still cracked on the ring pulse.
00:43:03Bigelow, he's a nut brain, I tell you.
00:43:05Well, he's a beast from the East.
00:43:07He likes it outside, he likes it inside.
00:43:09You saw him a while ago out in the parking lot.
00:43:12He'll do anything, he'll fight you anywhere.
00:43:14Speaking of fights, speaking of tempers, can you imagine now if Goldberg gets away from that precinct?
00:43:21I don't wanna say escapes, but if they finally let him go, which they obviously, from listening to all we've listened to tonight, they should.
00:43:28Then what kind of demeanor Goldberg's gonna be in when he finally gets back here?
00:43:32Well, you have to understand Atlanta's finest have to, they have to investigate everything.
00:43:36They've gotta do their job, I understand that, but hey.
00:43:38That's right, they do a heck of a job.
00:43:39Oh, a headbutt, that was right on the quadriceps.
00:43:42Close to being a low blow that time, near the groin area.
00:43:45And Mickey J warning Bam Bam Bigelow how close that was.
00:43:49But certainly Bam Bam Bigelow, that headbutt, one of his forte's, one of his primary weapons, as he sends Wrath now on the outside.
00:43:56Fans, even though Goldberg is involved with this charge from Miss Elizabeth, we will have a world title match.
00:44:04Hollywood Hogan, incredibly.
00:44:07Didn't expect to wrestle here tonight, but he will.
00:44:10Kevin Nash for the world title.
00:44:11It'll be live later on tonight, here on Monday Nitro.
00:44:15Head first.
00:44:19On the outside is where you don't wanna be.
00:44:21Eric, wouldn't you agree with Bam Bam Bigelow?
00:44:24Nothing.
00:44:29You can hear nothing, I know that.
00:44:31Hey, bring it!
00:44:32What about Goldberg?
00:44:34No!
00:44:35Listen to that.
00:44:36Come on!
00:44:37What about Goldberg?
00:44:39Not gonna answer me.
00:44:42Bring a second.
00:44:43You can't hear.
00:44:44Into the midsection here.
00:44:46On the outside, Rab is willing to go out there, but Bigelow is so dangerous.
00:44:50So many ways he can hurt you on the inside of the ring, but the man can use just about anything on the outside.
00:44:56He is so strong, so powerful, using the steel step to the ring post.
00:45:00Watch out, he's gonna do exactly what we said.
00:45:02He's on the outside here with Rab.
00:45:05The great thing about this match, both of them stayed toe-to-toe with each other.
00:45:09No one's taking a back step.
00:45:11They've gone right at each other.
00:45:14Front row ringside.
00:45:16Front row ringside, a little bit more than they bargained for there.
00:45:19Up close to the action here, Rab on TNT.
00:45:22We are live.
00:45:25We are live.
00:45:2740,000 plus in attendance.
00:45:31And Bam Bam, much like Big Papa Pump a few moments ago, wheeled in a chair.
00:45:38I think Rath may feel that chair momentarily.
00:45:41Any second now is a matter of fact, and there's a warning from Mickie J.
00:45:46He may try to put his move onto that chair.
00:45:55Still greetings from Asbury Park, and Raph comes away with a back body drop to counter that move.
00:46:00He's still on his feet.
00:46:03They're both on the floor now.
00:46:06Bring it back in.
00:46:08Raph is taking a heck of a beating here by Bam Bam and vice versa.
00:46:13Bring it back in.
00:46:15If he had connected with that, Raph would have been history.
00:46:22That's right.
00:46:23It would have taken him completely out, Brady.
00:46:24You're right.
00:46:25And meanwhile, the referee a little bit too close that time.
00:46:27Got shoved away.
00:46:28There's a brawl going on in the entryway here.
00:46:30Well, you can't control a match like this.
00:46:32I don't think one referee can even stay in that ring and handle it.
00:46:35The bell sounds.
00:46:37The referee is throwing this one out.
00:46:39They're still fighting.
00:46:40No more wrestling match.
00:46:42It's erupted into a brawl.
00:46:44You know, Bam Bam, he may take him that bat out in the alley.
00:46:48Who knows?
00:46:49And they go back to the ring.
00:46:51Well, Raph wanted some competition and he got a lot of it.
00:46:55And so did Bam Bam.
00:46:56Yes, they did.
00:46:57Mammoth men continue to battle.
00:47:00And push it all the way towards all the steel in this entryway.
00:47:07Oh, boy.
00:47:08This is a dangerous place to be.
00:47:11Mickey J following the man.
00:47:13And as you look here at 40,000 plus, we understand now, we are going to understand the detectives are continuing to talk to Ms. Elizabeth about what exactly has gone down.
00:47:25And let's listen in one more time here if we can.
00:47:28Let me guess that to my brother, baby, number one.
00:47:30Ms. Lebeski, we just want to basically clarify some of the information you've already given us.
00:47:34Okay.
00:47:35Now, you say this has happened often.
00:47:37Yes.
00:47:38How often?
00:47:39How many times do I have to repeat myself?
00:47:42Just one more time, please.
00:47:44It happens all the time.
00:47:46And it happened most recently?
00:47:48I just told you.
00:47:49It just happened a while ago.
00:47:53And where did it happen again, ma'am?
00:47:57Um, it was at the Coke machine.
00:48:01Okay, ma'am, you told me it was at the water fountain.
00:48:05Now, when you're at the Coke machine, were you getting a Pepsi out of the Coke machine or a Coke out of the Pepsi machine?
00:48:11You know...
00:48:12Or was it water, ma'am?
00:48:14Okay, you...
00:48:15Now, you know the Marriott that you mentioned.
00:48:17Don't all the wrestlers stay at the, you know, the Marriott?
00:48:20The whole team?
00:48:21And that gymnasium you were talking about, don't all the wrestlers go to that particular gymnasium, ma'am?
00:48:26Obaki Gymnasium, I think it was.
00:48:28And it's...
00:48:29Hey, Bill Goldberg owns that place.
00:48:31Ah.
00:48:32I wonder why he's there.
00:48:33Hmm.
00:48:34Ma'am, you've been looking at your watch quite often there throughout this interrogation.
00:48:38Uh, that's a nice watch.
00:48:39Can I see that?
00:48:40My grandfather has one just like it.
00:48:44Yeah, okay.
00:48:45It was a gift.
00:48:46Yes, thank you.
00:48:47Oh, a gift.
00:48:48You say he was wearing black tights?
00:48:50I think she said red tights.
00:48:53Red tights?
00:48:54Red tights.
00:48:55I saw red, okay?
00:48:56I don't know.
00:48:57I don't know.
00:48:58I don't know.
00:48:59He wears black tights, Miss Elizabeth.
00:49:01Miss Lubitsky, uh...
00:49:04I hope you know that perjury is a serious crime here.
00:49:07You can be charged yourself with falsifying a report, ma'am.
00:49:10Miss Elizabeth, you are gonna be charged.
00:49:12You know, falsifying a report is a felony.
00:49:14We're talking jail time here, honey.
00:49:16And not only that, ma'am, you're wasting our time.
00:49:19Come on, partner.
00:49:20We're gonna talk for a minute, ma'am.
00:49:22Clear your story up.
00:49:23Get it straight.
00:49:24Hey, you know what, guys?
00:49:26Listen, I...
00:49:27Ma'am, have a seat.
00:49:28Um, I...
00:49:29I think I could be mistaken here, okay?
00:49:31I...
00:49:32You know what?
00:49:33As a matter of fact, I know I'm mistaken.
00:49:34It wasn't Bill.
00:49:35It...
00:49:36You know, a lot of these guys, they look alike to me.
00:49:38There's a lot of these bald-headed wrestlers running around, and...
00:49:41I just feel terrible, you know?
00:49:42And I feel awful because, you know, I feel I cost Bill Goldberg his world title shot again,
00:49:47and I just want you to apologize for me, okay?
00:49:50Please, give him my apologies, because...
00:49:53I just...
00:49:54I don't know how this could happen.
00:49:55I really...
00:49:56I feel really bad, okay?
00:49:57Tell him yourself.
00:49:58Wasting enough of my time.
00:49:59Okay.
00:50:00Thanks so much for your time.
00:50:01I...
00:50:02I appreciate it, okay?
00:50:03I'm...
00:50:04I'm really sorry.
00:50:05Okay?
00:50:07Could be mistaken.
00:50:09Wasted some time.
00:50:11Is this what...
00:50:12Eric Bischoff, is this what this is all about?
00:50:15Costing Goldberg his shot.
00:50:16That these 40,000 came to see here tonight?
00:50:20Can you answer that?
00:50:22Can you give...
00:50:23Can you...
00:50:24Coming back.
00:50:29I cannot believe what we just...
00:50:32What we just...
00:50:33We should have known.
00:50:34And Kevin Nash caught in right brain.
00:50:36A trumped-up charge is what it's all been about.
00:50:39But Nash said, hey, I'll face Hogan.
00:50:42The new boss, Ric Flair, said, make it so.
00:50:45It will happen.
00:50:46And if Goldberg can finally get out over there, make his way back.
00:50:50And I mean, this place is jammed with people.
00:50:52He'll face Kevin Nash as well.
00:50:55Well, by the reaction, the way Liz answered those last questions, I'm pretty sure they'd probably let Goldberg out.
00:51:02Who knows how much interrogation you're gonna have to do.
00:51:04You know, a charge like this has to be investigated.
00:51:07So we're gonna have to wait and see.
00:51:08I'll let you know how many of the Nitro girls you're watching.
00:51:10And Conan will be at Warehouse at 2298A South Shore Center in Alameda.
00:51:17When tickets go on sale for Oakland, California and Super Brawl.
00:51:20The date's Sunday, February 21st.
00:51:22Tickets go on sale this Friday at the Oakland Coliseum box office.
00:51:25And I'll bash ticket outlets and don't forget to meet the Nitro girls in Conan at that location.
00:51:32I guess we should have known.
00:51:34I mean, how many times have we been a party to this, these charades, these games?
00:51:40But when you use the, when you use police and you lose, use the legal system, you-
00:51:48He's asleep, Tony.
00:51:49Uh-oh.
00:51:50As Jerry, you see, former Falcons head coach, Oilers head coach, Jerry Glanville, who's-
00:51:55Well, you have to take it for Elvis.
00:51:57He didn't show, so he took it.
00:51:58Yeah, football analyst.
00:52:00He's with us as well.
00:52:01And, well, there he is.
00:52:04Adding absolutely nothing.
00:52:13I mean, your boss, your boss, Ric Flair, said-
00:52:17Never mind.
00:52:19It will be Kevin Nash and Hollywood Hogan later tonight for the world title.
00:52:24And as soon, I'm sure, as they get the paperwork all done, and as soon as they can, they will release Goldberg.
00:52:29And you can better believe he is going to storm back here.
00:52:32He's got to get his boots on, his trunks on, and he'll be in this building, I'm sure, any way possible to be a part of the match.
00:52:39Forget about the boots and the trunks.
00:52:41The guy will come naked with fingerprints.
00:52:44Think on his hands if he has to.
00:52:46Get ready.
00:52:47Goldberg, I know the man.
00:52:49If he can get out, he'll be here.
00:52:57Man, how about that music, Tony?
00:52:59Big Bryan Adams of NWO.
00:53:04Big man.
00:53:05Black and white.
00:53:10With Vincent.
00:53:12I can't believe the thing went this far.
00:53:14Well, they have to investigate everything he's doing.
00:53:17Well, I realize that.
00:53:18I can't believe it.
00:53:19You're a pretty woman, you gotta believe her.
00:53:21But the scope of this whole thing.
00:53:23And the clue on that.
00:53:25I mean, pick up on the clue of.
00:53:27But she kept glancing at her watch.
00:53:29I mean, she timed it.
00:53:31The lady in red.
00:53:36The lady in red.
00:53:37Yeah, the lady who has been shooting your arm, Eric Bischoff.
00:53:41Everywhere you go.
00:53:45Ask Eric what she's really like.
00:53:46I'm not asking him anything.
00:53:47He doesn't even look at me.
00:53:48He's asking what she's really like.
00:53:49He'll ask him.
00:53:50You ask.
00:53:51Go ahead, you ask.
00:53:52He won't answer me.
00:53:53He'll answer you.
00:53:56Here we go.
00:53:59Standing here at the Georgia Dome.
00:54:01For DDP.
00:54:04Dallas, I'll never quit Paige.
00:54:1040,000.
00:54:114-0-1 in attendance tonight.
00:54:15And DDP looks to both sides.
00:54:18And as he usually does.
00:54:20He'll go for the fans to get to the ring.
00:54:23The former United States Heavyweight Champion.
00:54:30Who lost that belt to Bret the Hitman Hart.
00:54:35Got a little bit of retribution from the giant at Starrcade.
00:54:40Well, he just likes to get out there with the people, don't he?
00:54:44Yeah, he's a people's champion.
00:54:46Where he came from and where he is right now is an incredible story.
00:54:52It truly is one of the top stories.
00:54:55The top stories in pro wrestling.
00:54:59I think you're keeping Eric up.
00:55:00Well, I'm sorry.
00:55:01Over the past few years.
00:55:04And there you have Randy Anderson, the referee, who's already called for the bell.
00:55:08He's back to work.
00:55:10Where have you been?
00:55:11I said he's back to work at double the pay.
00:55:13I've been right here with you.
00:55:15Don't get mad at me.
00:55:16You got a guy to the right you can get mad at.
00:55:19No, I'm not going to do that.
00:55:20I'm going to be better than that.
00:55:22I'm not going to let this silence get me down.
00:55:26I'm not going to let this silence drive our broadcast down.
00:55:30I think it's been a pretty good broadcast in spite of the absence of commentary to my right.
00:55:36The bell sounds.
00:55:37Here we go.
00:55:38Adams and DDP, certainly DDP, that diamond cutter so quick, so explosive.
00:55:43You know, like we always say, he can put it on you at any given time.
00:55:47Sure he can.
00:55:48When he gets a chance, an opportunity.
00:55:49What he did with the giant was fantastic.
00:55:51Was unbelievable, the way he got the giant in that diamond cutter.
00:55:56He can put it on you.
00:55:57Ric Flair's made a lot of things happen here tonight.
00:55:59He has signed the Nash Hollywood Hogan match in absence of Goldberg, who I'm sure he's gonna,
00:56:06I'm sure he's over the precinct still right now.
00:56:09There's a lot of formalities.
00:56:10You can't just say, okay, you're clear and run out the building.
00:56:13Whoa.
00:56:14But Flair made a lot of things happen, including put he and his son together,
00:56:19Brain, coming up and sold out.
00:56:21First time ever, Ric Flair and his son, David, will be a tag team against Barry
00:56:25Windom and Kurt Hennig.
00:56:27He wanted it to be a handicap match.
00:56:31And how about those combinations there by DDP leveling Bryan Adams?
00:56:35Took him off, he's feeding Adams.
00:56:37Thinks better the next move as he goes down low.
00:56:39He realized he just got shot twice with a good right and a good left.
00:56:43Here he goes, watch this.
00:56:44He's getting ready.
00:56:46Adams bailed out.
00:56:47He realized he was not gonna sail.
00:56:49I better regroup here and get out of here for a second.
00:56:52Now, Paige was trying to spring over the top, thought better of it.
00:56:55Then as they worked their way around the other side, Paige comes over the top.
00:56:59It lands on Adams and on Vincent as well.
00:57:02And look at Vincent holding DDP, allowing now Bryan Adams to come.
00:57:08Kick the man between the shoulder blades and get the advantage.
00:57:12This could be a turning point right here, cuz he was gonna get right back in there.
00:57:15He had the momentum, but Vincent snatched him and grabbed him,
00:57:18kept from coming back in, and Adams took over.
00:57:21But Diamond Dallas Paige, as he has proved, week in, week out, month in, month out as a fighter.
00:57:27A fighter, I would say.
00:57:29Yes, you would say as he falls on the outside again.
00:57:33In a bad neighborhood.
00:57:34Vincent's neighborhood.
00:57:36And you get beat up there.
00:57:38Diamond Dallas Paige, more time than not.
00:57:44How many months out of the year have we seen him with his ribs taped?
00:57:49The kidneys were bruised, the bandaging on his midsection, the knee strain,
00:57:55the injury had on his knee thanks to one Bret Hart.
00:57:59Vince, we have to step out for a commercial break.
00:58:02The match will continue and more live at the Georgia Dome after this.
00:58:05Stay with us, Eric.
00:58:08We are live and we are the only live wrestling program this Monday, the 4th of January, 1999.
00:58:14And we're live every Monday.
00:58:15You're in the midst of the action as Bryan Adams starting to use his power to get an advantage.
00:58:20Forget about it.
00:58:21Did he pay?
00:58:22With a wearing of his own.
00:58:24Boy, did he drop him.
00:58:25Sent the man down and here he comes.
00:58:27Into a side headlock, he runs over Bryan Adams.
00:58:30Good reversal with Adams, the big man he is, holds his ground, swinging neckbreaker.
00:58:39I hope Bannon realizes from any given point, that man, DDP, can put you away.
00:58:43He tried it right there.
00:58:44Boy, he did.
00:58:45He went for the diamond cutter to no avail.
00:58:48My.
00:58:50As he went to tap and Mickie J, the referee, was touched.
00:58:55And Mickie Anderson, the referee, was talking to Vincent.
00:58:59The low blow failed DDP.
00:59:02And he hit hard on that one, Bobby Heenan.
00:59:06Ladies and gentlemen, in a few moments at the conclusion of this match and after the break,
00:59:11it will be Kevin Nash and Hollywood Ogun for the world title.
00:59:16Two, but that's all, not a three count.
00:59:19And that time, Bryan Adams thought he had the match won.
00:59:22What a match that's gonna be, Hogan and Nash.
00:59:26I can't wait to see it.
00:59:29We may be here for a while though with this match.
00:59:31Yeah, absolutely with you.
00:59:32And any time, Goldberg is gonna be making his way, fighting through the traffic to get over here.
00:59:37As he's been all but cleared of some horrible trumped up charges.
00:59:45By golly.
00:59:47I haven't said by golly at all tonight.
00:59:50Not once, but at least I've said something.
00:59:55You're the boss, Tony.
00:59:58No, I'm not.
00:59:59Would you stop that?
01:00:01As Paige tries to fight out.
01:00:03Ring that bell.
01:00:05One, two.
01:00:18Cover, one, two.
01:00:19Paige escapes.
01:00:20Getting in their left shoulder up in the nick of time.
01:00:22And look at Diamond Dallas Paige, what he's endured in this match.
01:00:26But the fight goes on here.
01:00:32As you know, Scott Steiner has got out of the television title.
01:00:37Amazing in mid air, DDP.
01:00:39Now go for the diamond cutter.
01:00:42You can get him.
01:00:43It's easier said than done, Brain.
01:00:45Both men are down and DDP is spent.
01:00:47One, two, three.
01:00:50I don't know if that guy though, whether he's spent or not, you never know.
01:00:53You can see it here.
01:00:55Trying to pull himself up.
01:00:56First man up is Bryan Adams.
01:00:58Paige to his feet.
01:00:59Blocks.
01:01:00But a right hand finds its way in.
01:01:02Left and right combination blows.
01:01:05He don't expect to me.
01:01:07The discus lariat spinning, taking Bryan Adams down.
01:01:11The fans are standing, they want a diamond cutter.
01:01:14Into the ropes, Paige jumps.
01:01:20He was caught.
01:01:21He was caught.
01:01:23In mid air.
01:01:25Adams caught him with a bear hug and then drove him down to the point of his knee with an atomic drop.
01:01:31You know, we've been talking how tough Diamond Dallas is.
01:01:34Bryan Adams is no slouch either.
01:01:36This is one big, big tough man.
01:01:38One of the biggest, one of the toughest.
01:01:40And a member of the black and white NWO.
01:01:42And there's Vincent holding on.
01:01:44Did he pick?
01:01:46Got him.
01:01:47Diamond cutter to the top.
01:01:48Can he get the pin?
01:01:49Listen to him with the Georgia Dolphins.
01:01:52One, two.
01:01:53He got it.
01:01:54Out of nowhere.
01:01:59He's done it again.
01:02:02Once again, a new variation of the Diamond Cutter from one Diamond Dallas Page.
01:02:07And there you see the faithful standing, showing the sign of the Diamond Cutter.
01:02:12As Diamond Dallas Page continues to win, continues to defy the odds.
01:02:18And goes back into where he loves to be, with the people.
01:02:23Absolutely.
01:02:24We're gonna go back and relive some of the moments once again.
01:02:28As DDP is helped out by security, here it is again.
01:02:34He goes to come off that second rope.
01:02:37Vincent jumps up and grabs him.
01:02:39He still makes it with a Diamond Cutter off that second rope.
01:02:44He knows he's got him.
01:02:46He turns Big Brian Adams over after knocking Vincent to the floor.
01:02:49Once again, the Diamond Cutter does it.
01:02:52Don't ever count this man out.
01:02:56He'll never quit on you.
01:02:58His name is Diamond Dallas Page, and he is your winner over Big Big Brian Adams.
01:03:04Your winner, DDP.
01:03:06Now the story of the night has been Goldberg, who came here to the Georgia Dome expecting
01:03:10to wrestle, but it's been all night in the police precinct, close by.
01:03:15And he is still there, we understand.
01:03:17We're gonna check in to see exactly his status.
01:03:20I'm sure he's gonna be released any moment now.
01:03:23Let's check in.
01:03:31Bill.
01:03:32Stop banging the wall, man.
01:03:33You're gonna put a dent in.
01:03:34Calm down.
01:03:35Listen.
01:03:36I just talked to the detectives.
01:03:37Miss Elizabeth dropped the charges.
01:03:39She admitted that she was lying.
01:03:40She broke down into questioning.
01:03:42Get these cuffs off of me.
01:03:44Now!
01:03:45Alright.
01:03:50Take me to the dome.
01:03:55Let's go.
01:04:11Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Georgia Dome.
01:04:17Home of the National Football League's NFC Western Champion, Atlanta Hawkins.
01:04:24Here tonight, it's WCW Monday Nitro and the first main event of 1999.
01:04:35Right here in this ring, the ultimate grudge match for the heavyweight championship of the world.
01:04:44Atlanta, Georgia, are you ready?
01:04:47Atlanta, Georgia, are you ready?
01:04:51Atlanta, Georgia, are you ready?
01:05:00For the 40 plus thousand in attendance and the millions watching around the world.
01:05:13Ladies and gentlemen.
01:05:15Let's get ready to rumble!
01:05:20Look at that, Tony.
01:05:26What a night it's been.
01:05:30What an exciting, electrifying, but in many ways bizarre.
01:05:36In many regards, a very disheartening night when you think about this whole charade that's gone down.
01:05:42Thanks to Ric Flair stepping up as the man in charge of the company.
01:05:47We've got a match for you.
01:05:48Goldberg's on his way here.
01:05:57Ladies and gentlemen, making his way to the ring at this time in the company of Big Papa Punk.
01:06:03Wearing black, he stands six feet seven inches tall and weighs 273 and one half pounds.
01:06:13He is perhaps the most famous athlete in the history of professional wrestling.
01:06:18So well known that he is currently campaigning for the office of President of these United States.
01:06:26Tonight, he takes time from his busy schedule to once again step into the ring.
01:06:32Tonight, as the challenger in this ultimate grudge match, ladies and gentlemen, here is the leader of NWO Hollywood.
01:06:42From Hollywood, from Hollywood USA, he is the one, the only, Hollywood Hogan.
01:06:56The unmistakable arms, the pythons if you will, and what a physique.
01:07:00Didn't expect to wrestle, formally announced his retirement, but still under contract and he gets a chance
01:07:07here against the heavyweight champion of the world as they stand for Big Sexy head of the Wolf Pack.
01:07:14Kevin Nash who said I'll face Hogan, and then if Goldberg can get back, I'll face him too, DB.
01:07:23It's all here tonight, live on TNT, and here he is.
01:07:28And now making his entrance to the ring at this time, 17 pounds, 317 pounds.
01:07:36Although he is a native of Detroit, Michigan, his accomplishments and glory in professional wrestling
01:07:43make him a citizen of the world.
01:07:45He was a member of the former world tag team champions, the Outsiders.
01:07:50A founding father of the original New World Order.
01:07:54And the NWO Wolf Pack, known as the Red and Black.
01:07:59Considered by most to be the best big man in the sport today.
01:08:04Ladies and gentlemen, here is the master of the jackknife powerbomb,
01:08:09the newly crowned, reigning, and defending, undisputed, WCWNWO,
01:08:17heavyweight champion of the world, Big Sexy Kevin Nash!
01:08:29How about that embrace?
01:08:34Never thought I'd see that!
01:08:37Scott Hall, Johnny the Teller, going back, out with Kevin Nash!
01:08:42Ladies and gentlemen, the champion comes to the ring in the company of Scott Hall!
01:08:50Back together again!
01:08:53And that does not set well with Hollywood Hogan, who had Scott Steiner walk out with him.
01:08:58And we're just about set to do it!
01:09:01Little shot zone.
01:09:02Let's do it!
01:09:05The last thing we expected was for Hogan to wrestle here tonight against Kevin Nash, but why not?
01:09:14Truly one of the biggest in size.
01:09:21World title matches ever and in many.
01:09:26As far as the athletes are concerned, what they mean to the sport of professional wrestling.
01:09:34The legendary Hollywood Hogan.
01:09:36Black and white.
01:09:37I'm gonna beat that master.
01:09:39You're a match just to teach him a lesson.
01:09:41You just lost that.
01:09:42Scott Steiner.
01:09:43Big Puff and Puff against the man is taking the world pack now.
01:09:48In the new heights.
01:09:49This is gonna get very interesting, Tony.
01:09:53Real interesting.
01:09:56Fans, as you know, it's getting close to the 11 o'clock out.
01:10:00We're gonna stay right here.
01:10:01We're gonna follow all the action as long as it takes.
01:10:04So stay with us.
01:10:09These are not tape matches.
01:10:11This is happening live.
01:10:12This is Nitro.
01:10:13The bell sounds.
01:10:14Billy Silverman making a call.
01:10:16No matter what happens, we're staying with it here tonight.
01:10:21Even if it goes all night, we're gonna be here.
01:10:24That's what we're all about.
01:10:26We are live.
01:10:27And as we know, as we saw before the commercial break, Goldberg,
01:10:33making his way out.
01:10:35We haven't seen him.
01:10:37Where is he?
01:10:39I'm sure we've got people at every entryway, the main entryway,
01:10:43for the wrestlers to come in.
01:10:45Where he was taken out as soon as Goldberg hits.
01:10:49I know we're gonna follow that story as well.
01:10:51So many things developing back and forth.
01:10:55And look at this, Tony.
01:10:57Hogan's in his street clothes to wrestle.
01:10:59Listen to the fans.
01:11:02Look at Hogan's reaction.
01:11:04Over 40,000 plus.
01:11:06This is better than a playoff game.
01:11:10Now this is what pro wrestling, what world championship wrestling is all about.
01:11:16Very tentative look on Hogan's face, but Nash ready to go at it.
01:11:23Taking their time on each other.
01:11:25Now he's trying to get him to hook up at least by shoving the man in the corner.
01:11:33Let's see if that gets a reaction from Hollywood here.
01:11:37He's been in so many big matches.
01:11:41Well, he has.
01:11:43What's that about?
01:11:51What's going on here?
01:11:53What just happened here?
01:11:59Ladies and gentlemen.
01:12:01This stinks.
01:12:03The winner.
01:12:05God.
01:12:07A new heavyweight champion of the world.
01:12:11From NWO Hollywood.
01:12:13It is unbelievable.
01:12:15New world heavyweight champion Hollywood.
01:12:19Hulk Hogan.
01:12:21The man.
01:12:22The myth.
01:12:23What the hell is he doing here?
01:12:25It's Goldberg.
01:12:26Goldberg's in the building.
01:12:27He's under arrest.
01:12:28He's under arrest.
01:12:29He's under arrest.
01:12:30What is he doing here?
01:12:32Get him out of here.
01:12:34The world heavyweight champion is in the ring.
01:12:38Well, they arrested him once.
01:12:40What's another time?
01:12:41Go for it, Goldberg.
01:12:42Here it comes.
01:12:43This is a disgrace.
01:12:44This is a disgrace.
01:12:46Get the police out here.
01:12:48Get me the city attorney.
01:12:49Get me Kojak.
01:12:51Get me anybody you need to get me.
01:12:53Oh my.
01:12:54Get him out of here.
01:12:56He's a criminal for crying out loud.
01:12:59And he's not done yet.
01:13:03Get him out of here.
01:13:07He's a thief.
01:13:10He's a criminal.
01:13:11He's got a record.
01:13:15He shouldn't be allowed in wrestling.
01:13:17Get him out of here.
01:13:23Lex Luger's come down.
01:13:26He's backed everybody off.
01:13:27Thank goodness for Lex Luger.
01:13:29Lex Luger.
01:13:33He's gonna put him.
01:13:35Wait a minute.
01:13:36What?
01:13:37Luger just attacked.
01:13:38Luger attacked over.
01:13:39What's this?
01:13:40What's going on?
01:13:41Shazelle, by golly.
01:13:44Gee Willikers.
01:13:45It's all fire.
01:13:46Tony, how could this happen?
01:13:48My goodness, how could this be?
01:13:51The World Heavyweight Champion Hollywood Hogan not only reunited with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash.
01:14:00The newest addition, the total package.
01:14:03Lex Luger.
01:14:04My goodness gracious.
01:14:06Tony, can you believe it?
01:14:08Can you believe it?
01:14:09I'm having a heart attack.
01:14:12He made me that taser gun for Mitchell.
01:14:14He's very nice.
01:14:17It has been one of the biggest.
01:14:20No.
01:14:21They've got Goldberg Hancock.
01:14:22They've got that taser gun.
01:14:24They're all back together again.
01:14:26There's a big buzz on this match.
01:14:31Call it, Tony.
01:14:32Call it.
01:14:33That's the biggest game in the neighborhood.
01:14:35Call it, Tony.
01:14:36Call it.
01:14:37Man, can I call a match or can I call a match?
01:14:44Well, this man is hurt.
01:14:47Goldberg is really hurt.
01:14:48This is not even worth it.
01:14:50He can't defend himself.
01:14:52They've got him handcuffed.
01:14:53He's outnumbered.
01:14:54And they've hit him with that taser.
01:14:56He's been wrecked.
01:14:58And now.
01:14:59Okay, let me call this one for you.
01:15:00Let me call it for you.
01:15:01And now, the World Heavyweight Champion in position, in position.
01:15:05And he makes his move.
01:15:07Two, five, three.
01:15:28How can he continue this offense?
01:15:30I can't take it.
01:15:35I can't take it.
01:15:36What a way to start the year.
01:15:39Hollywood Hogan.
01:15:42There was no retirement.
01:15:44How about let's look at Big Sexy.
01:15:46The new World Heavyweight Champion, the NWO, the Wolfie.
01:15:53Yeah, you're back in the saddle, baby.
01:15:56What did you say, Deja Vuitton?
01:16:00Tony, his show for their life is alive.
01:16:06And they're back together again.
01:16:09For night.
