00:00:00The fact that a coward like Goldberg would bring the Atlanta Falcons into the ring.
00:00:08Well, the big man made a phone call to the brothers man that support the NWO,
00:00:13Wolf Pack.
00:00:15And next Monday at Nitro, we're gonna show you what backup's all about.
00:00:21And next Monday is here.
00:00:24Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to WCW Monday Nitro.
00:00:29We're live at the Thompson Bowling Arena on the campus of UT.
00:00:33The University of Tennessee, we're in Knoxville.
00:00:37Where they are jammed to the rafters tonight, welcoming WCW Monday Nitro.
00:00:44What did Hollywood Hogan mean?
00:00:46Well, one thing we do know, that the NWO is stronger than ever before.
00:00:52With all that in mind, we're gonna take you to start off our program with Mean Gene Okerlund.
00:00:57All right, Tony, I gotta tell you, it is great to be here in Knoxville, the home of
00:01:05the national champion Tennessee Volunteers.
00:01:09And ladies and gentlemen, on Monday Nitro, please join me as we welcome the president of World Championship Wrestling.
00:01:23This is his country, this is his country, the nature boy, Ric Flair.
00:01:33Here he comes, the man in charge who told us on Thursday, as they stand and cheer the president,
00:01:43that he would address the Eric Fischoff situation and his lack of commentary, his lack of cooperation,
00:01:51last week on this program at the Georgia Dome, Mike, today.
00:01:56Well, Ric Flair is large and he is in charge.
00:02:00And tonight, here in Knoxville, Tennessee, I think we're gonna find out how the nature boy plans to treat that abuser of power, Eric Fischoff.
00:02:14I gotta tell you guys, I'd like to know who his haberdasher is.
00:02:17This guy dresses like a president.
00:02:22All right, Mr. President, we have a number of different subjects we're gonna cover during the course of this interview tonight.
00:02:29Number one, Sunday night sold out Charleston, West Virginia at pay-per-view, you and your son David against Kurt Hennig and Barry Windham.
00:02:37Mean Gene.
00:02:43Bischoff used to say to me, don't go out there and go Mean Gene anymore, I'm tired of hearing it.
00:02:50So Bischoff, this is for you, Mean, whoo, my god, whoo, my god, Gene, whoo.
00:03:03That'll get stuck at the end.
00:03:05I love the part about the national championship, but with this town, you gotta talk about the lady volunteers, too.
00:03:13Whoo!
00:03:17All right, more business coming up.
00:03:19Bischoff has done a lot of things.
00:03:21He hurt a lot of people in the past.
00:03:23I was glad to see you rectify that, reinstating Pee Wee Anderson as a referee.
00:03:28Is there anything else to come?
00:03:30Well, the first thing I wanna mention, it's Sunday night.
00:03:35I am, one more time, gonna walk, whoo, that long, illustrious aisle,
00:03:42with my 19-year-old son, Big Dave, and Kurt Hennig, you and Barry Windham.
00:03:50Somewhere, somehow, we're gonna get a piece of you, pal, it's sold out.
00:03:55Whoo!
00:03:56Now, I got some big surprises, I'm gonna cram this into a short period of time.
00:04:02First of all, His Highness Hulk Hogan, if you're listening, listen to this.
00:04:10I promised the wrestling world some big news.
00:04:18Turner, Schiller, Flair, doesn't that sound good?
00:04:23We met, and Hogan, whether I like it or not, you are the world champion.
00:04:30Bless you, God bless you.
00:04:32That's the good news.
00:04:34The bad news is this, you're signed up till 2001, pal.
00:04:41So you're not going to Hollywood, you're not going to the White House,
00:04:45you're going to work for me and Ted Turner, pal.
00:04:50Whoo!
00:04:51I like that a lot.
00:04:53Now, while we were talking about the executive committee,
00:04:58it dawned on me that one of my good friends and
00:05:02the former chairman of the executive committee has been nowhere to be seen.
00:05:07So tonight, back in power and back in action, JJ Dillon, come on now.
00:05:14You've got to be kidding me, you have reinstated JJ Dillon?
00:05:18Did you give him a bump?
00:05:19He's reinstated with a new car and a woman limousine driver, pal.
00:05:25I like that.
00:05:27Again, I want to repeat in case you missed it, so you're not confused.
00:05:31JJ Dillon reinstated as the chairman of the WCW executive committee.
00:05:37Now, what does all of that mean as far as world championship wrestling is concerned?
00:05:42Well, first of all, we finally have a president that dresses like a president,
00:05:46and boy, he looks good.
00:05:48But he mentioned Hollywood Hogan.
00:05:53I would like to announce that Hollywood Hogan's first title defense will be at Super Brawl.
00:06:00All right, February the 21st of the greater San Francisco area on pay per view.
00:06:05Who is his opponent gonna be?
00:06:07You know, these NWO guys are pretty tricky, JJ.
00:06:10Well, we're not prepared to announce yet, but I can tell you one thing.
00:06:13The NWO will not be hand selecting his opponent.
00:06:17That's the job of the executive committee, and we will be doing our job.
00:06:21It is about time, president.
00:06:24That's a fact, Hogan.
00:06:26Don't look around the dressing room right now, cuz I can promise you,
00:06:30you're wrestling nobody from the NWO, pal.
00:06:32You're wrestling somebody from World Championship Wrestling, Daddy-O, whoo.
00:06:37All right, speaking of main events, gentlemen, we've got Sold Out coming up this Sunday night
00:06:42on pay per view, and I know there's been some private discussions regarding a main event.
00:06:47I don't know who I give the floor to, either the president or the chairman of the executive committee.
00:06:51May I make this announcement?
00:06:53Oh, I like this one.
00:06:54We do have a main event to announce for Sold Out.
00:06:58You know, Scott Hall's been walking around with this stun stick and having some fun with it.
00:07:04So let's get the stun, I can't even say it.
00:07:07It's called a cattle prod or a stun stick.
00:07:10It hurts.
00:07:11Well, we're gonna bring it down to Sold Out, and what we're gonna do,
00:07:15we're gonna suspend a cable from the center of the ring.
00:07:18And we're gonna put that cattle prong at the end of the cable.
00:07:21But it's gonna be up there pretty good that you need a ladder to get it.
00:07:25So we're gonna have a ladder match.
00:07:28You've gotta be kidding, between Goldberg and Scott Hall?
00:07:32Well, the ladder match will be here, the stun gun will be here.
00:07:36And if Scott Hall wants to have some fun, he's gonna figure out how to do it,
00:07:40because his opponent will be Goldberg.
00:07:45Oh, please.
00:07:47Chris, you have got the wheels turning.
00:07:52What is Bischoff up here?
00:07:53Oh, Scott Hall, I'd buy a ticket to see that, pal.
00:07:58Goldberg's gonna stick you, buddy.
00:08:00Whoo!
00:08:01Now, let's get the Latino world order out here.
00:08:05One more order of business, and we're out of here, and
00:08:08the greatest show on Earth will take place.
00:08:10I want the Latino world order to come down here right now, please.
00:08:13All right, the members of the Latino world order not being received very
00:08:18prominently here, Tony.
00:08:20You can definitely re-answer the crowd here tonight.
00:08:23Just like everybody else who walks out here, they get what they deserve.
00:08:27And, of course, conspicuous by his absence, Eddie Guerrero.
00:08:34They were beaten up pretty severely on Thursday,
00:08:36where fans will recall by the new world order.
00:08:39Moving to, chasing out of the building.
00:08:42All right, gentlemen, que pasa?
00:08:45You've got to understand this from President Ric Flair.
00:08:49It goes like this.
00:08:51You guys have been recognized as probably the most talented group
00:08:57of athletes in the sport today.
00:08:59I know, I know what Bischoff did to you.
00:09:03I know what he promised you.
00:09:05But I also know that Eddie Guerrero's laying in the hospital right now
00:09:08with a broken leg.
00:09:10And I'm saying that Hogan, Nash, Hall, Luger, and Steiner
00:09:15had something to do with it.
00:09:17Before you guys, before anybody else gets hurt,
00:09:20I'm asking you guys, take off the shirts and jump on the world
00:09:24championship wrestling bandwagon.
00:09:27I promise you, hey, whoa, come here.
00:09:30I promise you, the money you got coming, it's coming your way.
00:09:34I promise you.
00:09:35Money, cars, women, name it.
00:09:39The Nature Boy is in charge.
00:09:41That's gonna be very convincing.
00:09:43You gotta lose the shirt.
00:09:45Gentlemen, I think.
00:09:48Hey, Hoobie, you give me that shirt, brother.
00:09:53When we're in LA next week, you and me are going to Tijuana, Jack.
00:09:56All right.
00:09:58Come on, guys, let me have it.
00:10:00All right, taking off the LWO shirts, you know the ongoing battle that this-
00:10:05That's right, they are now back with World Championship Wrestling.
00:10:10That is great news, what a way to kick everything off here tonight.
00:10:14The President reinstating J.J. Dillon.
00:10:16Hogan signed for a title defense.
00:10:18Tony Pitt is something else.
00:10:20Back to you.
00:10:21And I'm sure- Hold on, go ahead, press.
00:10:23Wait a minute.
00:10:24One more small favor.
00:10:29J.J., I saw the format back there, and
00:10:32I saw where we are missing a match on the program tonight.
00:10:38Well, at the moment, we are one match short.
00:10:41Well, as the president of this great company,
00:10:43can I book myself in a match?
00:10:45You wanna wrestle?
00:10:47Yeah, I wanna wrestle.
00:10:48The president wants to wrestle, how do you-
00:10:51Who do you wanna wrestle?
00:10:52What I wanna do is dance all night, woo, and dance a little longer.
00:10:58With Curt Hennig here tonight.
00:11:01Curt Hennig, I'm not asking you.
00:11:06I'm telling you to get your tights out, because the Nature Boy, woo,
00:11:12is feeling good.
00:11:13It's official, he's got it.
00:11:15I like it.
00:11:16Tony, back to you.
00:11:17Thanks a lot, a lot of things have happened.
00:11:19And of course, I know later on, he's going to address the situation with Eric Bischoff.
00:11:24But we wanna go back, here's when he asked the LWO to take their shirts off.
00:11:29And they all agreed, he talked about money and ladies and
00:11:32providing the LWO things that Eddie said that they were being deprived of.
00:11:36And as they did that, we wanna notice this.
00:11:39And one of our cameras caught Ray Mysterio Jr., who we saw shaking his head.
00:11:43And he walked away with the LWO.
00:11:46The LWO shirt still intact, Ric Flair's reinstated tradition.
00:11:49As I walked down that aisle, it reeks of tradition.
00:11:58Whether it's the grandfather, the father, the son, they're here because of tradition.
00:12:15Hogan, Kevin Nash, listen to this very carefully.
00:12:21When I wrestled, it was two men that fought till one man quit or one man got pinned to be, the best to be, the world heavyweight champion.
00:12:35Anybody can run down the aisle.
00:12:40Dory Funk Jr., Jack Briscoe, Dusty Roach, Ronnie Garvin, Terry Funk, Harley Race, Ric Flair.
00:12:50We were world champions, and you're not gonna take that from me, them, or all of this.
00:12:59Back with you from the campus of the University of Tennessee.
00:13:08It's the School of Champions with the National Champion Football Volunteers,
00:13:12and Lady Volunteers who have won six national titles over the last 12 years.
00:13:15And tonight, the Nature Boy, Ric Flair, says he'll wrestle against Curt Hennig.
00:13:20We got the battle of the Giants for supremacy in the NWO, Mike, today, as we have the Giant against Kevin Nash later on here tonight as well.
00:13:28Well, Tony, if you recall last Thursday, Hollywood Hogan and the NWO made it crystal clear.
00:13:33They point the finger.
00:13:35They placed the blame squarely on the Giant for the loss of Eric Bischoff two weeks ago tonight to the Nature Boy Ric Flair.
00:13:43There's only room for one Giant in the New World Order tonight, Kevin Nash versus the Giant, to decide who that man is.
00:13:49Well, ladies and gentlemen, we leave it and let you know that Eric Bischoff has now officially been relieved of his duties as an announcer here with World Championship Wrestling.
00:13:58Later on in this telecast, we'll show you a little bit of the meetings that went down with Ric Flair this weekend and show you his new assignment,
00:14:05Eric Bischoff's new assignment in World Championship Wrestling.
00:14:09Thank goodness he was taken away from the broadcast position here.
00:14:12Well, you know, good news and bad news.
00:14:13He didn't say a word last week.
00:14:15Good news is he didn't have an opportunity to lie.
00:14:18But, you know, I listen to Flair talk, talk about tradition, kind of gets me psyched up.
00:14:23And I know Flair's got a whole bag of tricks to unload on Bischoff.
00:14:26We also have some comments during the course of the evening from Goldberg.
00:14:30Mike today had a chance to talk to him.
00:14:32What's his mind?
00:14:33How's it going right now?
00:14:34But we're going to take you back last Thursday to see what the LWO had to endure at the hands of the New World Order.
00:14:39Ray Jr. is perched on top, and you know what he's got designs on.
00:14:46It's a crossbody.
00:14:48Double crossbody took out both LWO men.
00:14:52And now he and Kidman joining forces here to take down members of Ray's LWO.
00:14:58We've also got somebody else arriving.
00:15:00Oh, my goodness.
00:15:02This don't look good.
00:15:03Here they are.
00:15:04It's Hollywood Hogan and the New World Order together unified.
00:15:10They're all coming out.
00:15:11Scott Hall has the taser.
00:15:13Oh.
00:15:15And they're taking over.
00:15:17Nash just jackknifed powerbombs psychosis.
00:15:20Wait a minute.
00:15:20Look at Mysterio.
00:15:21He's caught in there all by himself.
00:15:24Look at the size difference.
00:15:25And did you see Luger kicking the man while he was down?
00:15:28Of course.
00:15:28What has gotten into Lex Luger?
00:15:30That's always been in him.
00:15:31He's a coward.
00:15:32End of story.
00:15:34Ray.
00:15:35You're going to go one way or the other, pal.
00:15:37Oh.
00:15:38Oh.
00:15:38They got that taser now, and they put it directly into psychosis, and they ripped off the LWO shirt.
00:15:46Back here at a jam-packed reunion arena in Knoxville, Tennessee.
00:15:50Capacity crowd hanging from the Raptors.
00:15:53Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time has got a bone to pick with somebody.
00:15:57And I think his name is Jericho.
00:16:00Please welcome Saturn.
00:16:04Well, I think a lot of people in professional wrestling have a bone to pick with one Chris Jericho.
00:16:11But here's one of the men that certainly can back up any problems he has.
00:16:15Truly one of the greats in our sport.
00:16:17Pound for pound, one of the finest athletes.
00:16:19Harry Saturn comes out to talk to Gene Okerlund.
00:16:22Yeah, that line for wrestlers that have a problem with Chris Jericho forms at the right.
00:16:28But the first man in line is Perry Saturn.
00:16:30Perry Saturn, myself, of course, everybody back at the announced position, everybody back in the locker rooms,
00:16:47and all of these fans know what went down between you and Chris Jericho.
00:16:51Obviously, in your mind, a huge injustice.
00:16:54Well, first of all, what an impossible job I got to follow Flair.
00:16:59But let's talk about Jericho.
00:17:01Hey, I never cry about losing, but I am going to cry when I'm cheated.
00:17:05Jericho, you and Dickerson screwed me, and you know you did.
00:17:08How about giving me a rematch?
00:17:11Well, I don't think he's going to be too quick to give you a rematch.
00:17:15He feels like he's dispensed with you, and his business with you has concluded.
00:17:20Do I look dispensed?
00:17:21No, you don't look dispensed, but I'm not Chris Jericho.
00:17:25Jericho, if you're in the back, come on out.
00:17:28Well, I know he's back there somewhere.
00:17:31Somebody could make arrangements.
00:17:33There he is with that toothless wonder.
00:17:36Well, you know, it won't take him long to get out of here.
00:17:38Rufus.
00:17:39It's Ralfus.
00:17:40Whatever.
00:17:41All right, I'm fished in, P.S.
00:17:44I was interested in what you had to say.
00:17:46I mean, we're standing back here listening to you cry and complain with your fellow
00:17:51bald boy, Gene Mean, about how you were mistreated and how you were lied to and how
00:17:58you were abused.
00:18:01The way that we see it and the way that it stands in the record books is that
00:18:07Jericho has beaten you twice, fairly and squarely.
00:18:12My hand was raised by a WCW official.
00:18:17Perry, I mean, you're out here crying and
00:18:19caterwauling like a ten-year-old adolescent schoolgirl.
00:18:24I mean, you should be wearing a dress.
00:18:28He should be wearing a dress, shouldn't he, Ralfus?
00:18:30What?
00:18:32Okay, how about this?
00:18:34And see what you think about this.
00:18:36I'll give you a rematch to try and come in the ring and get your crazy revenge
00:18:40against me.
00:18:41But when I beat you for the third time, you have to agree to wear a dress for
00:18:49the rest of your wrestling career, P.S.
00:18:53Now, wait a minute.
00:18:54Chris Jericho, that's absurd.
00:18:56You've got too much time on your hand.
00:18:58That idle thinking will get you nowhere.
00:18:59Tell you what, Chris, I do a lot of things, but drag isn't one of them.
00:19:03No.
00:19:04Well, I think you got an answer there, Mr. Jericho.
00:19:07Well, do you want a rematch against the greatest showman in WCW?
00:19:13Do you want a rematch against the leader and the role model for all of the Jericho-holics?
00:19:21If you want it, just agree to wear a nice frilly little evening gown, my man.
00:19:30I'll be in there, in like Flynn.
00:19:34Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
00:19:35You know what?
00:19:35I'm so sick of hearing you run your mouth.
00:19:38Fine, that's a stipulation.
00:19:40You bet.
00:19:41If I lose, I'll wear the dress.
00:19:42But there's no way I'm losing.
00:19:44All right, hold on, Gene Mean, let me just say this.
00:19:48And when you lose, Perry, you will regret this, because a man with your massive manly ego will
00:19:55never, ever be able to handle wearing a dress in the center of the ring, because you don't
00:20:02have the personality for it, you don't have the attitude for it, and most importantly
00:20:07of all, you don't have the legs for it, daddy-o.
00:20:11Let's go, Ralphis.
00:20:13All right.
00:20:14I don't know if that is officially put together, but apparently, you went along with it.
00:20:20There's no way I'm losing this man.
00:20:22All right, those are the ground rules.
00:20:24Very unusual, to say the least.
00:20:26Can you believe it, Tony?
00:20:28If this man loses, he's got to wear a dress?
00:20:30Yeah.
00:20:31I don't think so, you can.
00:20:32I can believe just about anything on this program, because you never know about WCW
00:20:37Monday Nitro, what they're gonna agree to, but I think AJ needs you in the back.
00:20:41What's this?
00:20:41He just called for it.
00:20:44You hear what he just said?
00:20:45He said, JJ wants you in the back.
00:20:47Randy Anderson, we got it on our rundown here, is scheduled to referee this match.
00:20:53But Scott Dickinson has sent him to the back, him being Pee-Wee Anderson, and here comes
00:20:59he's setting up on the cap.
00:21:01Yeah, that's Scott Dickinson, by the way, Tony, just asked Barry Saturn.
00:21:06Come on, cat, what are you doing?
00:21:07Come on, waitin'.
00:21:09He's calling for the bell right now, and here goes Barry Saturn picking up the cat and a ball.
00:21:14And dropping him over his head.
00:21:16And Saturn goes to the attack once again.
00:21:18Well, fans, we have added some, another match, another couple matches, really, to the big
00:21:24event coming up this coming Sunday, across the West Virginia, pay-per-view, it's sold out.
00:21:29Of course, the headliner now, Scott Hall and Goldberg in a stun gun taser match, ladder match,
00:21:36so to speak, where the taser's high above the ring, and they gotta use a ladder to maneuver up top
00:21:42to get the danger to be able to use it, you're talking about potential in that match, that is worth
00:21:47the price of admission, and now look at Scott Dickinson, pulled Perry Saturn, physically
00:21:52pulling him off of the cat.
00:21:53Watch out, we're adding matches, Saturn was adding knots to the head of the cat here, but
00:21:58it looks like Dickinson butted in.
00:22:00Yeah, it was that physical confrontation with the official Scott Dickinson, that momentary
00:22:05lapse by Perry Saturn in concentration that allowed the cat to level in.
00:22:10Let me say this, there is no room for personal vendettas if you're not a pro wrestler.
00:22:15If you are a referee, if you are an announcer, if you work in the front office,
00:22:21you have to call it like you see it, you have to really keep personal vendettas out
00:22:25of it, sometimes I know it's very difficult.
00:22:27So I'm telling Scott Dickinson, he has a problem here with Perry Saturn, but
00:22:31he needs to call the match straight down the middle, that's what he's doing, the blue shirt
00:22:37that's really a strange situation when you think back to history between our official
00:22:41Scott Dickinson and Perry Saturn.
00:22:43They both went to the same wrestling school, Scott is a referee obviously, Perry is a wrestler,
00:22:48and I can even tell you if you go back in history, Scott was the referee for Perry
00:22:52Saturn's first ever match.
00:22:54So apparently there's some deep-rooted resentment there that is just starting
00:22:58to surface here in WCW, and now at the feet here of Sonny Ohno, and Ohno goes to the
00:23:03attack on the legs here of Saturn.
00:23:06Legs that Jericho kind of knocked and wouldn't look good in a dress.
00:23:11Guys, Saturn agreed to this, that if he loses to Jericho in their next matchup,
00:23:17then he's gonna have to wear a dress.
00:23:19I think that's just the type of thing that would motivate Saturn to do anything
00:23:23not to lose.
00:23:24Oh God!
00:23:25Mini skirt maybe, dressed now.
00:23:28I think Jericho realized this.
00:23:30I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
00:23:31I do understand that.
00:23:32I think Jericho realized that he is a real man's man, that he would not go for
00:23:35anything like that, and I think Jericho never thought that Saturn would agree to that.
00:23:40I'm sure that's probably what Chris Jericho is thinking, but we all know that Perry
00:23:44Saturn is not one to back down from a challenge.
00:23:46Full extension of the leg by the cat, and down goes Saturn.
00:23:51The cat is so nimble.
00:23:52He is so quick, but he is very, very arrogant, and this really is not good strategy.
00:24:01As he poses for the fans here in Knoxville, Tennessee.
00:24:04And there's good lateral press and gets the two count.
00:24:08He had Saturn down with that great extension you talked about, Mike, today.
00:24:12You notice the cadence of the count from our referee that time?
00:24:15It was normal.
00:24:16Yeah, I thought it was pretty good.
00:24:17You know, and I'm not so, and every referee's count is different, and I'm not
00:24:21so sure to say that quick is better, slow is better, but they should be consistent
00:24:26with their counts every time.
00:24:28Counting to three is not that hard.
00:24:31Yeah, but it's-
00:24:33For us, it's not that hard, but I think sometime in the heat of the battle, it's gotta be very difficult.
00:24:38And I'm not taking up for any referee at all, but it can't be an easy job.
00:24:42How about that maneuver that time, Mike, from the cat, Ernest Miller.
00:24:46Looked like the knees found the lower abdomen that time of Saturn.
00:24:49Excellent strategy, taking out the legs of Perry Saturn with the dropkick directly to the knee.
00:24:54Can't be nimble, can't be quick.
00:24:56Caught him!
00:24:57Caught him!
00:24:58Caught ran in!
00:25:01Saturn takes him over.
00:25:03Can't be nimble enough!
00:25:04Not at all, Larry, you're right.
00:25:06Good takeover here by Saturn, and Saturn with a scoop slam, pick up, puts him down hard.
00:25:10Tonight, Ric Flair, Curt Hennig.
00:25:12Tonight, Giant against Kevin Nash for Giant Supremacy of the New World Order.
00:25:17That's all of the card tonight, plus a lot more.
00:25:20How about that, a frog splash from Perry Saturn.
00:25:23Hey, hey, what's Dickinson doing?
00:25:26He's talking to Ono.
00:25:29No.
00:25:30No Scott Dickinson argument, don't go at all.
00:25:33With a shovel.
00:25:34Jericho nails him with a shovel, and Scott Dickinson calls for the belt.
00:25:40Wait a minute.
00:25:42How in the world could he disqualify Saturn?
00:25:45How can he raise the hand of a cat when he saw Jericho come in with a shovel and
00:25:50wipe out Perry Saturn?
00:25:52He's got a dress in his hands.
00:25:54Look at that, by the hand!
00:25:56Very heavily dressed, yeah.
00:25:57That's a dress?
00:25:58He's gonna try to put this on Saturn?
00:26:02Why doesn't the referee at least try to cap, stop him?
00:26:08Well, Saturn is unconscious at this point.
00:26:11Of course he is.
00:26:12He's being muffled by that steel shovel.
00:26:16Saturn at least trying to come to, trying to fight this off, but he got nailed.
00:26:20And Jericho cannot get the dress on him, thank goodness for that.
00:26:27But he's got the dress in his hand, and I cannot believe, I cannot fathom that you're gonna go for it again.
00:26:34The chance, the fact that he tries to force the dress on here.
00:26:39The fact that he's trying to put his head in an armhole.
00:26:45Well, there you go.
00:26:48Now, ladies and gentlemen, still to come tonight, what will be the assignment for Eric Bischoff?
00:26:54Ric Flair said this on Thunder on Thursday.
00:27:00Bischoff, you sat over there all night, silent, pouting, crying.
00:27:06And then you blew it off.
00:27:07You went crazy.
00:27:09You tried to get on top again.
00:27:12Bischoff, I'm on my way.
00:27:15In a few hours, I'll be in Atlanta, and you'll be in my office at 8 o'clock in the morning.
00:27:22Because you, me, Dr. Shiller, and Ted Turner are going to work right now on what to do with Hogan and Nash Monday night.
00:27:52.
00:28:07Continue live from Knoxville, Tennessee.
00:28:09Well, later on tonight, we're gonna have the Giant against Kevin Nash for Giant Supremacy in the New World Order.
00:28:15In addition, we're gonna have Ric Flair and Kurt Hennig plus a whole lot more.
00:28:19Fans next week, Monday Nitro will originate from Columbus, Ohio at the Jerome Schottenstein Center.
00:28:24It's a ticket to the box office of Ticketmaster.
00:28:27That's next Monday, January the 18th.
00:28:30And on Monday, February 22nd, it's Monday Nitro in the Arco Arena in Sacramento, California.
00:28:35Back out in Sacramento for Nitro.
00:28:37Tickets available in the Arco Arena box office at all Ticketmaster locations.
00:28:42During the course of this program, we'll tell you how you get tickets in Indianapolis, Providence, Minneapolis,
00:28:47Buffalo, Cleveland, Salt Lake, Las Vegas, and of course, in Oakland for Super Brawl,
00:28:53where we heard that Hollywood Hogan will have to defend the title in the month of February.
00:28:58Well, it's time now to take you back to what happened this past weekend.
00:29:02Ric Flair, you heard right before the break, said he was calling the meeting of Ted Turner,
00:29:06Dr. Harvey Shiller, himself, and Eric Bischoff to decide Bischoff's fate.
00:29:10And I can imagine, based on what's gone down, that meeting did not pan out too good for one Eric Bischoff.
00:29:16Well, Tony, judging by his performance last Monday on Nitro, I'm sure that was the case.
00:29:21We have to see what went down on Friday in the office.
00:29:23Anything you want to add to this? A little slap before we go to this?
00:29:25No, Judge, I know what happened. Show everybody around the world.
00:29:29Certainly when you see this, you will agree with all of us here in the back and everywhere.
00:29:35The man got what's coming to him. Let's go to what happened this past weekend.
00:29:40What are you doing? Flair put you up to this? Fingers. What is this?
00:29:57A money green jag in my parking spot? I don't think so.
00:30:19Aw, come on!
00:30:27Hey!
00:30:28Can I help you, sir?
00:30:30Open the door!
00:30:35Open the door!
00:30:36It's open.
00:30:48Can I help you, sir?
00:30:49No, you can't help me, sir.
00:30:50Excuse me. Bruce, can you help me, please? I need you to sign in.
00:30:52Who are you? Where's Amy? Sign in.
00:30:54Please sign in.
00:30:56Let's sign in anything.
00:30:57Please help me out with this.
00:30:58Where's Amy? Who are you?
00:30:59Amy's not here.
00:31:00You're going to have to stop here, sir.
00:31:01Please have a seat.
00:31:02Who are you?
00:31:03Mr. Flair, I'll be with you momentarily, sir.
00:31:04Get out of my way!
00:31:06Mr. Bischoff.
00:31:07Do you know who I am?
00:31:08No, sir.
00:31:09You know my name.
00:31:10Mr. Bischoff.
00:31:11That's right.
00:31:12I need to get to my office.
00:31:13Mr. Flair, please have a seat.
00:31:14This is stupid!
00:31:15Please have a seat, sir.
00:31:16Mr. Flair, I'll be with you momentarily.
00:31:17This is ridiculous.
00:31:28Where's, where's Amy?
00:31:30Amy's no longer here.
00:31:31She's no longer here.
00:31:32No, Amy's no longer here.
00:31:34Look, I don't have all day. Tell Mr. Flair...
00:31:46He wanted me here at 8 o'clock.
00:31:48I was here at quarter to 8.
00:31:50If he wants to see me,
00:31:52he's going to have to do it before dinnertime.
00:31:55I'm crying out loud.
00:31:5690 days, Flair running this company.
00:31:58You know what a joke that is?
00:31:59Do you know what a joke that is?
00:32:00You're new, you don't know.
00:32:02I was here at 91,
00:32:04when Ric Flair and Jim Ross was running WCW.
00:32:09They couldn't put 400 people in a building
00:32:11if they were giving away money.
00:32:16Ric Flair.
00:32:23Eric.
00:32:24What?
00:32:25Mr. Flair will see you now.
00:32:26Oh, boy, am I lucky.
00:32:31Hey, Janie.
00:32:34Follow me, please.
00:32:38What about your new fat salary?
00:32:40What about your new house and your stock options?
00:32:43Did Ric Flair get that for you?
00:32:45Yes, he did.
00:32:46You're as delusional as he is.
00:32:53Where is everybody?
00:32:55Did you give them the day off?
00:32:59Mr. Flair, Eric's here to see you.
00:33:01Great, bring him in.
00:33:03This is ridiculous.
00:33:05You're out of your mind.
00:33:07It's ridiculous, but it's reality, Eric.
00:33:10This is my office.
00:33:11Eric.
00:33:12This is my desk.
00:33:13Eric.
00:33:14Eric.
00:33:15Before I call security, have a seat.
00:33:18You and I gotta talk.
00:33:21We gotta talk.
00:33:22Remember when I used to sit on the left side of the desk?
00:33:26Yes.
00:33:27And you used to tell me, first of all, Rick, this is an office.
00:33:34Not your living room.
00:33:37Remember how that conversation went?
00:33:39Let me ask you a question.
00:33:42Let's just you and I talk.
00:33:44We had to get so few moments alone together.
00:33:48Did you enjoy the show last Monday night?
00:33:52Parks.
00:33:53Think that's pretty cool what Nash and Logan did?
00:33:55You know, there was a moment where it started to get fun.
00:33:59Yeah, I thought it was pretty good.
00:34:01Yeah, I saw that.
00:34:02I saw that you finally came around and found yourself behind the microphone.
00:34:07It's a little hard to do, unless you've got the proper motivation.
00:34:11You've been absent from that vision for a while.
00:34:14Gave me the motivation.
00:34:15Yeah, that was pretty cool.
00:34:17You wouldn't have anything to, you wouldn't have had anything to do with that, right?
00:34:21No.
00:34:22You wouldn't have talked to Hogan and Nash.
00:34:24I've got no power.
00:34:25Yeah.
00:34:26I'm nothing more than an announcer.
00:34:27You wouldn't have known about that.
00:34:28No.
00:34:29Didn't know anything.
00:34:30Okay.
00:34:31You've elected to stay as an employee of the company while I'm running it.
00:34:38But the one thing that really sits wrong with me is the fact that I got you in a position
00:34:45last week that you didn't like, but somehow you rose to the occasion.
00:34:49And at the end, you seem to really enjoy that moment.
00:34:53So here's what we're going to do.
00:34:55I've got some plans for Hogan and Nash, but I'm not going to tell you what those are.
00:35:01I'm just going to discuss you and me.
00:35:04And over the next 90 days, I'm going to make your life as miserable as I possibly can.
00:35:14I don't really know right now what Dr. Schiller and Ted Turner are going to let me do about
00:35:20Nash and Hogan and Hall and this new group of outlaws.
00:35:24But I do know what they're going to let me do with you.
00:35:28Get to the point.
00:35:29I've got a plane to catch.
00:35:31No, no, no.
00:35:32I hope you do.
00:35:33But while you're on your way to the airport...
00:35:36What are you doing?
00:35:39I'm handing you all this cool stuff.
00:35:42Let me see.
00:35:43Motorsports.
00:35:44This is a nameplate for...
00:35:45What are you doing?
00:35:46This is all your stuff.
00:35:47I know it's my stuff.
00:35:48What are you doing?
00:35:49This is your briefcase.
00:35:50I want to show you your next venture.
00:35:54Your next...
00:35:56Flare, you're kidding yourself.
00:35:57Your next venture with this company.
00:35:59You're kidding yourself.
00:36:00No, no.
00:36:01I think it's important that if nothing else...
00:36:03Hi, Eric.
00:36:06Damn joke.
00:36:09Hey, hey, hey.
00:36:10Woo, woo, woo.
00:36:12Wait for me.
00:36:13I'll be with you in about 10 minutes.
00:36:15What do you mean wait for you?
00:36:16That's my car.
00:36:17Eric, that was your car.
00:36:19You know what's my car?
00:36:20Remember I told you?
00:36:21I know you love motorsports, motorcycles, trucks, 4x4s.
00:36:25Yeah, but I gotta get to the airport.
00:36:26No.
00:36:27This is where you're going right now.
00:36:29See this right here?
00:36:30This is the truck that hauls the ring to Knoxville for TNT.
00:36:36That's a truck!
00:36:38The greatest wrestling program on the face of this earth has to have a ring set up, buddy.
00:36:44And you now are in charge.
00:36:46Actually, not in charge.
00:36:47You're working for him.
00:36:48In the truck.
00:36:50Knoxville.
00:36:51I'm not putting up no ring.
00:36:53In the truck.
00:36:54And I'm not riding in that truck.
00:36:56Put the ring up.
00:36:58Tighten the bolts.
00:36:59Clean the mats.
00:37:00We don't like the guys getting any infections.
00:37:02Get it ready for the show Monday night.
00:37:05Ugh.
00:37:07This is ridiculous.
00:37:08Hey, don't they call you Easy E?
00:37:10Isn't that what Nash calls you?
00:37:11Go get it, Easy E!
00:37:13Easy E!
00:37:14Woo!
00:37:15This is a joke.
00:37:17Hey.
00:37:18Hey, what's the hell with this man?
00:37:21Damn thing's filthy.
00:37:31You gotta be kidding me.
00:37:33Oh, this is a good truck.
00:37:34It rides good.
00:37:35Rides good!
00:37:36It's a good truck!
00:37:37Rides good!
00:37:38Listen to that.
00:37:39It's a good truck!
00:37:40Come on in here.
00:37:46Yeah!
00:37:47We're having a good time.
00:37:48We're having a good time!
00:37:49Eric Bischoff riding shotgun on his way here to Knoxville.
00:38:03He had a long weekend.
00:38:04And fans, we're gonna follow this story about Eric putting the ring up,
00:38:09as you see in the center of the building right now.
00:38:12And right now, let's take you to meet Gene Okerlund.
00:38:15Tony, if you recall the words of President Ric Flair,
00:38:18face to face with Eric Bischoff, he says,
00:38:21pal, I'm gonna make your life as miserable as I can for the next 90 days.
00:38:26Hear, hear.
00:38:27Please.
00:38:28Check this out.
00:38:29Happy birthday time here in Knoxville, Tennessee.
00:38:32And with that, I wanna bring out a young man who's taken WCW by storm.
00:38:37He's none other than Shavo Guerrero, Jr.
00:38:49And Pepe.
00:38:50Shavo, before we get to the birthday celebration, your uncle, Eddie Guerrero.
00:39:04Eddie, I know you're at home over there.
00:39:06You're watching.
00:39:07Get well soon, brother.
00:39:08We're praying for you, all right?
00:39:09All right.
00:39:10Now, what about the birthday party?
00:39:11What's going on here?
00:39:12As you all know, Pepe's had a little hard time as of late.
00:39:17He's been beat up.
00:39:19He's had the stuffing kicked out of him, literally.
00:39:22He's had his body broken.
00:39:24And it's his birthday today.
00:39:26And I wanna do something nice for Pepe.
00:39:29What did you have in mind?
00:39:33What did you have in mind, Shavo?
00:39:35It's his birthday.
00:39:36It's his birthday.
00:39:37What are you doing on a birthday?
00:39:38You sing happy birthday.
00:39:39Well, of course you sing happy birthday.
00:39:42That's what we're gonna do.
00:39:43We're gonna have a little party for Pepe.
00:39:45All right.
00:39:46We've got 18, 19,000 here that probably would like to join in if you lead in the singing.
00:39:52Would you sing with us tonight, folks?
00:39:56Pepe, please.
00:39:57Okay, Pepe, let's go.
00:39:59You gotta sing, too.
00:40:00You're here.
00:40:01Happy birthday to you.
00:40:04Pepe.
00:40:05Happy birthday to you.
00:40:08Pepe.
00:40:09Happy birthday, dear cat.
00:40:11Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:40:12Whoa.
00:40:13Whoa, whoa.
00:40:14Norman's smiling.
00:40:16What?
00:40:17You're breaking into the birthday party.
00:40:19Let me tell you something.
00:40:20Let me tell you something.
00:40:21I'm a little hurt.
00:40:22I'm a little hurt that I wasn't invited to the birthday party.
00:40:25I'm a little upset about Eddie.
00:40:27I'm really upset that you, you too, Gene, went behind my back and arranged this party and
00:40:32didn't invite me.
00:40:33It's water under the bridge.
00:40:35I wanna make amends with Pepe.
00:40:36I'm a good guy.
00:40:38Well, don't try to convince us verbally.
00:40:41Your actions of the past have proven you're not a good guy for Chavo Guerrero or Pepe.
00:40:46Gene, please let bygones be bygones.
00:40:48I'm out here.
00:40:49I'm willing to make amends, Chavo.
00:40:51I love the Guerrero family.
00:40:53I feel bad for Eddie.
00:40:54And I just wanna be here as a friend.
00:40:57All right.
00:40:58Thank you, Norman Smiley.
00:41:00Yeah.
00:41:01First of all, Norman, you weren't invited, all right?
00:41:04If I wanted you here, you'd be invited.
00:41:06Pepe's a nice guy.
00:41:07Pepe has not hurt anybody.
00:41:09Everybody just treats him with abuse, especially you.
00:41:14Gene, I'm out here as a man.
00:41:16I'm offering you my hand in friendship, and I apologize.
00:41:20I'm here to make amends.
00:41:22I don't know.
00:41:23I've always got the opinion you didn't need any more friends, Mr. Smiley.
00:41:27Smiley, get that right, Gene.
00:41:29Okay, I'm here.
00:41:30Please shake my hand.
00:41:32I'm not gonna shake your hand.
00:41:34I've got nothing to do with you.
00:41:36If Pepe wants to shake your hand, that's up to him.
00:41:39Pepe, Pepe, you wanna shake Norman's hand?
00:41:43Huh?
00:41:47Be careful, be careful.
00:41:49Pepe's gonna shake your hands.
00:41:51He's fair, he's a nice guy.
00:41:54That's all I'm asking is a chance.
00:41:55That's all I'm asking, Chavo.
00:41:57I think this is some way you can make amends here.
00:42:00Norman Smiley, if you, hey, hey!
00:42:02What the?
00:42:11Norman Smiley has crashed the party.
00:42:14And I think Chavo saw it coming, but I guess the horse talked him out of him.
00:42:19You're gonna look at the horse in the mouth.
00:42:22Chavo's getting the first piece of cake.
00:42:27And the rest of it.
00:42:29As Norman Smiley is out to make a point, I guess.
00:42:34He's not done yet, watch out.
00:42:37The table.
00:42:38Now that takes the cake.
00:42:41Happy birthday, Pepe!
00:42:43He has completely ruined this birthday celebration.
00:42:51Head to toe, covered in birthday cake.
00:42:54I don't believe I just said that, but I'll say it again.
00:42:57He's completely ruined this birthday celebration.
00:43:00I don't think you said that again.
00:43:02He's got the horse.
00:43:03He's taking Pepe, he's gone.
00:43:05Stick horse, neck brace and all.
00:43:08And Chavo just full of it, the cake that is.
00:43:13Walking out.
00:43:17Full of what?
00:43:18My goodness, what's gonna happen next on Monday Nitro?
00:43:22Come on, Pepe.
00:43:23I got some price for you.
00:43:24He's gonna ride Pepe.
00:43:25Come on, Pepe.
00:43:26Straight ahead.
00:43:27Easy.
00:43:28Easy, Pepe.
00:43:29Come on, baby.
00:43:30I got something for you.
00:43:31Come on.
00:43:32Come on.
00:43:33Giddy up.
00:43:34Giddy up.
00:43:35He may be taking Pepe to the glue factory here.
00:43:36Pepe, this is a surprise.
00:43:39Where is he going?
00:43:40We're outside with Norman Smiley.
00:43:42I need something.
00:43:45That's a shredder, isn't it?
00:43:47That's exactly what he's putting in the shredder.
00:43:52He's destroyed the horse.
00:43:57Pepe's powder.
00:43:59Well, Eric Bischoff is putting up the ring.
00:44:03We've tried to put a dress on set and we've sung Happy Birthday to a Stick Horse and
00:44:07destroyed him.
00:44:08What's next?
00:44:09I know what.
00:44:10Let's check in on Raven.
00:44:11Let's get a little bit crazier here tonight on Nitro.
00:44:14Yo, that canyon ain't coming around again today, is he?
00:44:19No.
00:44:20You know what I think?
00:44:21I think you should have ditched him just like you did Saturday.
00:44:23You got a short memory, Scotty.
00:44:24Remember back in high school, you were the only person that ever liked him.
00:44:25It's your move.
00:44:26Hey, Mom.
00:44:27Where's my high school yearbook?
00:44:28It's out in the box in the garage.
00:44:30Martin.
00:44:31What's your move?
00:44:32Hey, Mom.
00:44:33Where's my high school yearbook?
00:44:34It's out in the box in the garage.
00:44:36Martin.
00:44:37What's your move?
00:44:38Hey, Mom.
00:44:39Where's my high school yearbook?
00:44:41It's out in the box in the garage.
00:44:43Mark Scotty's stuff.
00:44:44Put it out there.
00:44:45I told you that.
00:44:46Why is it in the garage?
00:44:47This is cute.
00:44:48Because your grandmother moved in and I needed the room, Scotty.
00:44:52I told you that.
00:44:53I know Grandma moved in, but why did you have to take my stuff down?
00:44:56She could have left my stuff on the walls.
00:44:58I needed the room, so I didn't get down.
00:44:59Oh, I guess it was inappropriate for Grandma to have my stuff on the wall.
00:45:02The stuff was all tasteful, Mom.
00:45:04Oh.
00:45:05Come on, Scotty.
00:45:06That's your problem, man.
00:45:07You don't need to disrespect her like that.
00:45:08Shut up, Jim.
00:45:11Hey, find anything?
00:45:24Nothing.
00:45:28Look into the past of Raven, obviously, before he got into wrestling, a big fan of Roddy.
00:45:43What's this all about?
00:45:44What an entourage, isn't it?
00:45:46I think so.
00:45:47A entourage of motorcycles, low riders, if you will, hogs making their way in.
00:45:52And here comes that black limo, and there's Big Papa Pump getting out.
00:45:57And there, the NWO limousine is met by other members of the New World Order.
00:46:04Curt Hennig, Scott Norton, there's Vincent, Bryan Adams, Hollywood Hogan,
00:46:08the world champ.
00:46:09You guys, you were supposed to beat her back.
00:46:15It's okay.
00:46:17You were supposed to beat us at the high end.
00:46:20You were supposed to beat us at the high end.
00:46:25That's all right, though.
00:46:27But the high end, we do see.
00:46:29The bike's over.
00:46:30A little miscommunication, it seems to me, on the travel plans.
00:46:35Well, we're gonna hear that again from Hollywood Hogan.
00:46:37Communication problems.
00:46:39Always uses that as a built-in excuse.
00:46:41Oh, yeah, it seems like an excuse, but don't.
00:46:45And those motorcyclers here usher in the world heavyweight champ.
00:46:52Hold on a second.
00:46:53I've had to know that someone has checked in.
00:46:56That's the Hells Angels?
00:46:57That's the Hells Angels?
00:46:59Is this what Hogan meant last Thursday when he said he was gonna bring his friends to Knoxville and Monday Nitro?
00:47:05Well, he's walking right out with them.
00:47:12Well, that's a look at the back of the best Hells Angels, Illinois.
00:47:17That's exactly what it is.
00:47:20We have never witnessed anything such as this in the history of Nitro.
00:47:24Hollywood Hogan pulled back NWO, and the Hells Angels have surrounded the ring.
00:47:34And look, there's one that it seems to take the best.
00:47:41Look at that, we saw Illinois, New York.
00:47:43And there's Chuck Zito from New York.
00:47:46Who's Chuck Zito?
00:47:49He's one of the Hells Angels.
00:47:51What do you think?
00:47:52He's one of the best.
00:47:53He's one of the best.
00:47:57All over the country they're here, surrounding the ring.
00:48:00There you see Kentucky.
00:48:02And there is Scott Hall with that taser.
00:48:15That's what I call having someone watch your back.
00:48:18I don't think there's any question while the Hells Angels are surrounding the ring that Hollywood Hogan is able to do whatever he wants, say whatever he wants.
00:48:28And there is a discussion going on, continuing, we notice in the ring, with members of the New World Order, back in power as never before.
00:48:41Quite an escort, I would say, by today.
00:48:42Wow, you get by with a little help from your friends.
00:48:44That's some backup for Hollywood Hogan and the NWO.
00:48:49What an idiot, Paul.
00:48:51Keep it off.
00:48:52Is the mic off or can you hear it over these motorcycles?
00:49:06Snakes in here.
00:49:07Yo, Knoxville.
00:49:13Yo, you know, the WCW and Goldberg and Company.
00:49:31You know, the WCW and Goldberg and company said the NWO didn't have no stinking backup.
00:49:48Well, I'm here to tell you, we got backup.
00:49:52And it's stinking.
00:49:55I don't know.
00:49:56Watch what I'd say, Larry.
00:49:57The first thing at hand, as far as Mr. Flair, our president, saying Hollywood's under contract,
00:50:08well, he's dead right about that.
00:50:10And yes, because the hard-fought battle between my brother, Big Kev, I have luckily become your champion.
00:50:19And Mr. Flair, I'll fight anybody in the WCW any night because I can beat anybody in the WCW.
00:50:30And as far as Hollywood's career goes, I want everybody to know out there that I'm going to the White House
00:50:46and I will be your president and the World Heavyweight Champion.
00:50:51Tell them, Big Kev.
00:51:00You know, they say that Knoxville, Tennessee is Big Orange Country.
00:51:04My question is, if this is Big Orange Country, then why is everybody wearing black and red tonight?
00:51:18Later on this evening, in the main event, Big Sexy himself is going to show the nation why he is the true one and only giant.
00:51:42Tonight, the NWO gets stronger than it ever will be because tonight, the man with the greatest body in professional sports
00:52:00takes on WCW's so-called people's champion.
00:52:06Now, Tony Schiavone.
00:52:08What?
00:52:08If you call Diamond Dallas Page the people's champion one more time, I'm going to puke.
00:52:18Because, Diamond Dallas Page, I look at you and I see white trash.
00:52:23I look out in the crowd, I see white trash.
00:52:27So maybe you are the people's champion.
00:52:33Get out and shut up.
00:52:34Diamond Dallas Page, you have nothing I want, you have nothing I need, but you got somebody that wants me.
00:52:46And after I beat you tonight, I'm going to take your wife, and I'm going to show her what it's like to be with a real man.
00:52:54They're stepping over the line here, I believe, but that's their way.
00:53:03Look at that, Diamond Dallas Page.
00:53:04My arm is bigger than your leg.
00:53:08You know, I guess by now, everybody realizes the NWO, that dominating power and professional wrestling is going to rule through the new millennium.
00:53:24And I don't care if the WCW, Diamond Dallas Page, Goldberg and company has football teams, basketball teams, hockey teams, or even flight attendant teams.
00:53:40With the Hells Angels on our side, nobody's going to get in our business anymore.
00:53:46A special thanks to New York City, the Van-Daminator, Chuck Zito, Big Mel from the Windy City, Kentucky, and North Carolina.
00:53:56Because when you're NWO, you know that you're NWO for life.
00:54:03Stronger than ever, I would venture to say.
00:54:11The New World Order out, dominating the Hells Angels with their backup, and he talked about Goldberg and his backup.
00:54:18Well, we're going to go to that here in a moment.
00:54:20Later on tonight in this program, we're going to have Scott Steiner against Diamond Dallas Page.
00:54:26We are also going to have the Giants against Kevin Nagt, Ric Flair against Curt Hennig, and a whole lot more.
00:54:32But we're going to leave you before the break.
00:54:34Look at Goldberg's backup.
00:54:36The Atlanta Falcons, this weekend, playing for the Super Bowl.
00:54:41What's that about?
00:54:47What's going on here?
00:54:50What just happened here?
00:54:57This stinks.
00:54:59My God.
00:55:02It is unbelievable, the new World Heavyweight Champion, Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
00:55:19Get him out of here, he's a criminal for crying out loud.
00:55:30And he's not done yet.
00:55:35Get him out of here.
00:55:39He's a thief, he's a thief, he's a criminal.
00:55:43He's got a record, he shouldn't be allowed in wrestling.
00:55:49Get him out of here.
00:55:55The World Heavyweight Champion, Hollywood Hulk Hogan, not only reunited with Scott Hall and
00:56:04Kevin Nash, the newest addition, the total package, Lux Luger.
00:56:09My goodness gracious, Tony, can you believe it, can you believe it?
00:56:14He made me that taser gun for Benchoff, he's going nuts.
00:56:21Man, can I call a match or can I call a match?
00:56:28Well, this man is hurt, Goldberg is really hurt.
00:56:33This is not even worth it.
00:56:35He can't defend himself.
00:56:37They've got him handcuffed, he's outnumbered, and they've hit him with that taser.
00:56:41He's been racked all and now.
00:56:43That's my plan.
00:56:43Okay, let me call this one for you, let me call it for you.
00:56:46And now, the World Heavyweight Champion, in position, in position, and he makes his move.
00:56:50My God.
00:56:52Come on, Nash, I know you're back there.
00:57:03Let's show everybody what kind of man you are.
00:57:09And you know what?
00:57:12You can bring them all, cuz I got a little backup.
00:57:16One more comment.
00:57:19It's always nice to be the hunter, like we've always been.
00:57:29But now, we're the hunters.
00:57:32Welcome back.
00:57:39We're gonna continue now with some great wrestling action here on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:57:43Three hours live from Knoxville, Tennessee.
00:57:46Needless to say, boy, it's been a full plate already with things going on.
00:57:51And here comes Rey Mysterio Jr., still wearing the LWO shirt, the same shirt that
00:57:57Ric Flair told all members to take off, to throw away, that he would give them what
00:58:02they needed.
00:58:03But he decided, and I guess I can only rationalize Mike Tanay by saying that he
00:58:08never did really follow suit with any member of the LWO.
00:58:12This is another case of Rey Mysterio Jr. going his own way.
00:58:15Almost from the outset, Tony, every time that the leader of the LWO,
00:58:18rather, Eddie Guerrero tried to convince Rey Mysterio Jr.
00:58:23that there was strength in numbers, Rey Jr. decided to take the opposite trail.
00:58:29He wanted nothing to do with that group mentality of the Latino world order.
00:58:33And now that the LWO members, they saw their leader, Eddie Guerrero, go down.
00:58:38They saw bodies laid all over Richmond, Virginia last Thursday.
00:58:42I guess he's still the one who said it out.
00:58:44I think Rey Mysterio Jr. was a reluctant member.
00:58:48You think he would have been the first one to rip off the LWO shirt.
00:58:53You never know, and the bell sounds for the next match.
00:58:55Rey Mysterio Jr. and Kaz Ayashi, two fine, quick cruiserweights here,
00:59:01going at it one-on-one.
00:59:02Later on tonight, you heard Scott Steiner, what he said about Diamond Dallas Page.
00:59:07And they'll go at it, the top dive you through, as well as Kevin Nash and the Giant.
00:59:14And Ric Flair could hit it.
00:59:15That's all still to come of this telecast once again.
00:59:19Rey Mysterio Jr. is so lightning quick.
00:59:24Actually, both of these men, Hayashi and Mysterio, known for their quickness,
00:59:28out-and-out speed, and high-flying technique.
00:59:33Hayashi got a high-flying foot right in the head.
00:59:36A Mysterio, and that's good.
00:59:40Missile drop kick off the top rope.
00:59:42I mean, that one surprised Mysterio.
00:59:44That one nailed him.
00:59:46Down hard goes Mysterio, and here goes Kaz Ayashi, back to the attack once again.
00:59:51Rey lands on his feet.
00:59:53Ayashi with a lot of force.
00:59:56A lot of intensity.
00:59:57You know, Mysterio gives away size to almost every opponent, even Hayashi here.
01:00:02Rey doesn't have much meat and booze.
01:00:04Oh, watch it.
01:00:06That's the meat that he needs.
01:00:07What's up, man?
01:00:08He slipped right.
01:00:10Now, going right back on the second round-off.
01:00:12Rey Mysterio Jr., one of his patented maneuvers up over the top, down all the way to the concrete.
01:00:18He doesn't have to patent that.
01:00:20There's not too many people in the world that would try that.
01:00:23They would want to do it.
01:00:24You're right over the top.
01:00:26Head scissors take over.
01:00:27Back in they go again.
01:00:28Hayashi trying to get away, but he's caught.
01:00:33Just hope.
01:00:34Uh-oh.
01:00:34What's he walking down?
01:00:35Maybe they're going to finish with the business that they started in Richmond on Thursday.
01:00:43Luger hammering Kaz Hayashi.
01:00:46What's got into Luger anyway?
01:00:47And what's his problem with Kaz Hayashi of all people?
01:00:50I can't answer that.
01:00:52Uh-oh.
01:00:53Maybe his problem wasn't with Kaz Hayashi.
01:00:55He's walking.
01:00:56There's just Rey Jr. in the ring.
01:01:15Says he's not taking the shirt off.
01:01:16And what is Luger's here?
01:01:18I don't know.
01:01:23I'm not, I don't like to read it too much into it.
01:01:27But let's go.
01:01:28Attacking this helpless man here.
01:01:31And I say helpless because he did not expect the fight.
01:01:35And Luger is much, much bigger than Rey Jr.
01:01:38And I can only think that the NWO wants to be the only group,
01:01:43the only World Order group in pro wrestling.
01:01:46That's the only thing I can think of.
01:01:47He took him off his seat.
01:01:50He took Luger down with the dropkick.
01:01:53He's just out quicking Luger at this point.
01:01:55That's what he's got to do.
01:01:56Luger down to one knee.
01:01:58Here goes Rey again.
01:02:00Down again.
01:02:02Cross body, put him down again.
01:02:07Watch out.
01:02:07Uh-oh.
01:02:08That's the wrong arms to leap into.
01:02:10He got caught.
01:02:12Helpless into a backbreaker.
01:02:14He had it going momentarily.
01:02:18But just too much size, too much bulk here.
01:02:22And Lex Luger dismantling Rey Mysterio Jr.
01:02:25What does this prove, Lex?
01:02:27They don't, they're not out to prove anything, Mike.
01:02:30You should know that by now.
01:02:31You're right.
01:02:32They're just out to make a statement.
01:02:34And that statement is that the new World Order, you're right, Tony.
01:02:37The only faction in professional wrestling that matters.
01:02:40They've proved over and over again, they're the most dominant force.
01:02:44They're the most dominant.
01:02:45No, not in a torture rack.
01:02:46Is that crap Mysterio in half?
01:02:49This could break this man in half.
01:02:51You're exactly right if we, well, hold on now.
01:02:56Here comes Conan, real pack member, who we haven't seen much of since this,
01:03:04this new rise to power of Hollywood Hogan.
01:03:06Tony, think back to the history there.
01:03:08Conan was so instrumental in bringing Rey Jr.
01:03:11to World Championship Wrestling a couple of years ago.
01:03:13He's been instrumental in the young man's career, not only from when they first
01:03:17started in Tijuana through Mexico City, but also here.
01:03:20Well, what's up, man?
01:03:21What's up?
01:03:22What you doing?
01:03:22In the United States.
01:03:24Wolfpack, we don't ride like that.
01:03:26You know, look at him.
01:03:28Rey, he ain't no threat to us.
01:03:29He ain't got no titles.
01:03:31You know, I've always looked out for him.
01:03:33He's been like my little brother since, you know, he was 12 years old, man.
01:03:36What's up?
01:03:41Of course, we're down here with the Wolfpack shirt on.
01:03:44What about us being your video?
01:03:46Man, I'm cool, but we don't do everything together, do we?
01:03:50He's not supposed to wear this shirt.
01:03:52He's not.
01:03:53Wolfpack NWO.
01:03:55We made that clear.
01:03:57Well, you know what?
01:03:58After seeing this, I'm glad you weren't in my video.
01:04:01Yo, Kev, what's up, man?
01:04:04What's up?
01:04:05You know I'm Wolfpack.
01:04:06You've been knew that.
01:04:10Conan, let me speak on this.
01:04:14Boy.
01:04:18I think we got a little sample of that.
01:04:21Recently in Richmond when they dismantled the LWO.
01:04:26And Kevin Nash used Conan's line and let me speak on this there.
01:04:30And now, Helpless at the hands of everyone, especially Lex Luger, who started this,
01:04:35who attacked him from the high.
01:04:37Hall's got the taser.
01:04:38Once again, Helpless at the hands of the NWO.
01:04:44They finally mocked him last Thursday, but they're not to physically destroy Conan tonight.
01:04:48Come on, man.
01:04:49Kevin, get him off of me.
01:04:50That's a nasty thing he's got.
01:04:52Come on, man.
01:04:53Come on, man, screaming, Kevin, get him off of me.
01:04:56But they will, listen, this is New World winner, Justice, if you will, and it stinks.
01:05:02Come on, Kevin, help me, Kevin.
01:05:07But I tell you, I've never seen him like this.
01:05:11I've never seen him.
01:05:13Does Kevin Nash have spray paint?
01:05:14Yes, he does, and he's gonna paint him with black letters, black and red.
01:05:25We want Sting, we want Sting, we want Sting, we want Sting, we want Sting.
01:05:33Well, I don't know if you notice the fans are chanting for Sting,
01:05:37another member of the Wolfpack and we have not seen in quite a while.
01:05:40I don't know.
01:05:45Where does it stand?
01:05:47What exactly are they attempting to accomplish here?
01:05:50But obviously, plainly, Conan, guys, not in their plans at all.
01:05:55NWO strikes again, and it looks like the ranks of the New World Order just in by one.
01:06:01All right, here's a replay of the attack.
01:06:03Luger, the first man to make the blow here, ladies.
01:06:05Well, he came from behind.
01:06:06I mean, all Conan was trying to do was ask a question.
01:06:09Kevin Nash, of course, making fun of him.
01:06:12And right from behind came Luger.
01:06:14I still don't know what he's thinking.
01:06:15And in they come, the New World Order, Taser and Awe.
01:06:20Taser and Awe, and certainly the numbers getting stronger.
01:06:25And Conan, not a part any longer of any Wolfpack or NWO.
01:06:29Taser and Cobra NWO.
01:06:37All right, here we have.
01:06:41We have to go.
