00:00:00You know, I can't believe my dad's dodging Hollywood like that.
00:00:05He's such a loser.
00:00:06I can. He is a loser.
00:00:08Doesn't surprise me a bit.
00:00:10I mean, you know, I flew up on Hollywood's jet today.
00:00:13You know, he treats me like a father, you know,
00:00:15something I really basically never had.
00:00:18You know, I mean, introduces me to people,
00:00:23takes me to the nicest hotels, the best restaurants.
00:00:27You know, something my dad never did and was never there for me.
00:00:31You're right. You're right.
00:00:32Don't worry about it.
00:00:33Got us.
00:00:36Nothing to get worked up about.
00:00:38Got us.
00:00:39I just can't believe he's doing that.
00:00:41He's such a loser.
00:00:43You don't have to worry about it now.
00:00:48World Championship Wrestling comes to Canada for the first time ever.
00:00:55And ladies and gentlemen, you're looking at a 1999 VW Beetle.
00:01:01WCW presents the battle for the Beetle sweepstakes.
00:01:04The grand prize is that new Beetle.
00:01:07To enter, you can log on to WCW.com or send a 355 postcard to the following address.
00:01:13PO Box 8203, Grand Rapids, Minnesota, 55745.
00:01:20And be sure to check out the game that many are calling the year's best racing game on Nintendo 64.
00:01:26The Beetle Adventure Racing for Nintendo 64.
00:01:30Ladies and gentlemen, the excitement is at an all-time high for World Championship Wrestling.
00:01:36There's the sweepstakes I was talking about.
00:01:39So I'll read the thing again.
00:01:40Battle of the Beetle sweepstakes.
00:01:42PO Box 8203, Grand Rapids, Minnesota, 55745-8203.
00:01:49And here we come for the action.
00:01:52Remember, tonight at 9 o'clock Eastern Time, Nitro takes the air.
00:01:56It's Tony Schiavone, the living legend Larry Zabisco, and the Professor Mike today.
00:02:01Show him your Beetle box there, Mike.
00:02:03Just like that, Tony.
00:02:04Yes, sir, Nintendo 64.
00:02:05Do your homework first, and then you can play this thing.
00:02:09We're on the air for three hours tonight, as you know, and we are in Canada.
00:02:13We're at the Air Canada Center.
00:02:15Are you gonna get up or not?
00:02:16Go ahead, Larry.
00:02:17Go ahead.
00:02:18Take your kudos.
00:02:19Take your bows.
00:02:20We are at the Air Canada Center.
00:02:21Now, remember, one week ago, when we're in Canada, who is arguably the greatest
00:02:26professional wrestler ever from Canada, Bret the Hitman Hart.
00:02:29And how about the comments he made one week ago, Mike?
00:02:32Tony, I can tell you, I have been here in Toronto since Saturday.
00:02:35And everyone is talking about Bret the Hitman Hart, his comments last Monday on Nitro,
00:02:40that he could beat Goldberg in five minutes.
00:02:43It's the talk of the town.
00:02:44It may be the talk of the town, but that's something easier said than done.
00:02:47Yeah, it's real big talk, you know, for a man who claims to be the best there ever was,
00:02:52will be, et cetera.
00:02:54Tonight, Mr. Hart's gonna have a chance to prove it.
00:02:57Five minutes?
00:02:58I don't think so.
00:02:59As you know, fans, we are still under the guidance of Ric Flair,
00:03:02the world champ of the 14th time, and the president of WCW.
00:03:06And we're heading to the springtime event, Spring Stampede.
00:03:10As you know, there's gonna be a cruiserweight match,
00:03:12the finals of the US title tournament, all to be held,
00:03:15coming up in Tacoma, Washington, on the 11th of April.
00:03:18We'll talk more about that.
00:03:19But right now, back to a week ago, Bret Hart talking to Mean Gene Okerlund.
00:03:23There's no game in my box.
00:03:25Goldberg is a guy that's been hand-fed opponents for so long.
00:03:30He's ducked me and hid for me.
00:03:33But the one thing about Goldberg, he's never had to step in the ring with a real technical wrestler.
00:03:39All the muscles, all that brawn, that's not gonna help him if he ever steps in the ring with me.
00:03:44And Goldberg, you may be back there in the dressing room,
00:03:47wetting your whistle after a tough match,
00:03:49but why don't you just step in the ring with me one time?
00:03:52That's all it'll take, one time.
00:03:54Here's a guy that ran his string out to 174-0.
00:03:58Goldberg, a man that has proven himself time and time again as one of the roughest, toughest men.
00:04:03As a matter of fact, it wasn't even five minutes ago in this ring that he proved it again.
00:04:08Goldberg has never fought any real tough competition.
00:04:13I could beat Goldberg in five minutes.
00:04:15You could what, beat him in five minutes?
00:04:17You are underestimating Goldberg, please.
00:04:20I got a wrestling background of the likes that nobody, nobody has ever seen.
00:04:24And Goldberg, I want you to listen to me loud and clear.
00:04:28Five minutes, I could beat you and you'll be sorry that you ever stepped in the ring with me.
00:04:33What acclaim that was.
00:04:36That was an earth-shattering quake that Glenn Hart said it would only take five minutes.
00:04:41Five minutes to beat Goldberg.
00:04:44Who's he trying to pull?
00:04:45Fans are off and running.
00:04:47This week, World Championship Wrestling on TNT.
00:05:06There's the K-Dog.
00:05:15There's the K-Dog.
00:05:16There's the K-Dog, if you will.
00:05:29And as a result of these pirating videos or whatever you want to call it,
00:05:31Here he is, Conan, K-Dawg, if you will, as a result of these pirating videos, or whatever
00:05:44you want to call it, K-Dawg and the Disco Inferno now have signed to face each other
00:05:49at Spring Stampede.
00:05:50All right, oh yeah, it's been a while, big ups to them Rap-A-Lot dogs, your breath, and
00:05:57the Scarface button, yo, yo, yo, let me speak on this, arrele, arriba la raza, arriba la raza.
00:06:07You know those strawberry foods in the black and white and red, be talking about that for
00:06:10life, but K-Dawg, yo sigo siendo un vato loco forever.
00:06:17But more importantly than all that, Toronto has pouted, pouted it.
00:06:21Pouted, pouted it.
00:06:23Oh yeah.
00:06:26To continue my promo here.
00:06:27Oh yo, Disco, you know you come out here and you try to-
00:06:30Hey, hey, hey, Conan.
00:06:33Man, everybody- Don't worry about Disco, because the Wolfpack got rid of you.
00:06:40What is this?
00:06:42And the black and white got rid of you.
00:06:45Hollywood made me the boss.
00:06:48By me being the boss, he said, come take Conan out of here.
00:06:55Yo, you're just an end up- My job is to take you out.
00:06:58You're just an end up- Because they paint you black and white.
00:07:02I'm gonna paint you black and red.
00:07:05You know what I mean?
00:07:06Go.
00:07:07Well, Vince asked for this.
00:07:13Here he comes in.
00:07:14The hard way.
00:07:15The hard way is what it is.
00:07:17And K-Dawg was gonna wrap a little bit on Disco Inferno.
00:07:21But now he's gonna wrap a little bit on the chest, the head, the upper body,
00:07:24the torso of Vincent Mike Tenet.
00:07:27That's the kind of wrapping I appreciate is when it's on someone's body.
00:07:31I said Mike Tenet, Mike Tenet.
00:07:32I had something to point out.
00:07:34Go ahead.
00:07:34And you know you're not gonna stop Larry.
00:07:36That's right.
00:07:36When he's got a point to make, get out of his way.
00:07:39Tony seeing Conan here in Toronto, the recognition, the adulation from the crowd.
00:07:43As he just laid out, Vincent, with that bulldog headlock in the middle of the ring.
00:07:48Isn't it amazing?
00:07:50He started off in Mexico, became a great star all throughout the country of Mexico.
00:07:54To the United States, now Canada, just being recognized internationally.
00:07:58As one of the top dogs in pro wrestling, K-Dawg.
00:08:02And he just nailed the bottom dog of the NWO.
00:08:05Seated dropkick, well he may be, but he thinks that he's in charge of the black and
00:08:10the white of the NWO, K-Dawg over the top, K-Dawg to the floor near the safety rail,
00:08:15here at the Air Canada Center.
00:08:18I tell you, that's all he had was Air, Vincent pulled down that rope.
00:08:21Oh, man, good old Vince, but I just don't like him.
00:08:27Vincent thinks he's in charge of the NWO black and white.
00:08:30That doesn't put him in a very exclusive group, does it?
00:08:35They're on the outside, and I was before everybody had their own microphone to talk,
00:08:40in the middle of promoting Spring Stampede.
00:08:42And Spring Stampede, as you know, is coming up on the 11th of April from the great
00:08:48Northwest, in Tacoma, Washington, the Tacoma Dome, our first appearance ever.
00:08:53Conan and Disco Inferno have signed to go at it.
00:08:56And as I was saying, Mike, they have faced each other before, but
00:08:59never with the intensity of what's gone down over the past few weeks that there is right now.
00:09:04Out and out animosity between these two.
00:09:06Conan is such a proud individual, especially when it comes to his music, to his videos.
00:09:11And to have Disco come out here on Nitro in the past couple of weeks and make a sham,
00:09:15make a mockery out of the hard work that Conan has put into that, I can tell you that has his blood boiling.
00:09:22Well, there's worse things that could happen to you instead of hooking on your video,
00:09:26but that's something he didn't like.
00:09:28He takes it personally, Tony.
00:09:30I believe he does, Mike.
00:09:31He really does.
00:09:32You're kind of on his side here, aren't you?
00:09:35No, what he better do is get to his feet here, Vince, got that rear choke on, but not tight enough.
00:09:41You can see Conan squirming out, he's got back up, that's where he wants to be.
00:09:45No phase new, is it, Larry?
00:09:46Right back to the action we go.
00:09:48Underneath now, ducking low into the midsection.
00:09:54Good move by Vince.
00:09:54Vince out here to prove a point.
00:09:56I don't know if this is a test that he feels he has to prove to the world here watching tonight,
00:10:01here from the Air Canada Center or not.
00:10:03But he's proved so far that he's very brave to go in there,
00:10:07because we already knew that Conan was very angry.
00:10:09Well, if you notice Vincent's strategy so far in this match,
00:10:13he's been primarily working over the arm and shoulder of Conan in an effort to set him up
00:10:17for the arm bar submission hold, Larry.
00:10:21That means you talk, Larry, when he says your name.
00:10:22It's kind of like handing you the football.
00:10:23Arm bar submission, right now he's working on the head, but look where his chest is, it's back.
00:10:27It's not over the top of Conan's head.
00:10:29He can't get pressure on Conan this way.
00:10:32Vince, tough guy, more like a thug when it comes to the science, a very incomplete wrestler.
00:10:38Great comment by the living legend Larry Zbysko, as only he can do it.
00:10:44Both men on the mat.
00:10:45I'll comment on the wrestling, you guys talk about the wrestling.
00:10:50Okay, we'll do that, won't we, Mike?
00:10:51Sure.
00:10:52Here's a pick-up and an atomic drop.
00:10:54And Vince, or Vincent if you will, has come to fight here tonight.
00:11:01And Conan, it's really slowed him down.
00:11:04It's really slowed him down, hello?
00:11:10Vincent headed out to the floor.
00:11:12Has the body of Conan extended across the ring apron and drives that right-handed, overhand,
00:11:17rubbing blow to the chest.
00:11:18And then right back into the ring to pick up the action.
00:11:21Conan's gonna be picking up some teeth here.
00:11:26Jawbreaker applied that tie, perfectly executed by Vince, if you will.
00:11:30And he goes back to the attack once again.
00:11:35Into the corner, back feet to the face, defensive maneuver, and a grand one that tied by K-Dawg.
00:11:44Looks like it stunned Vincent that time.
00:11:46He got a good shot, and he nailed him again.
00:11:48You give Conan an opening, and he's gonna take advantage of you, underwear sticking out or not.
00:11:54K-Dawg, as someone is walking up the aisle way, and that's pretty obvious.
00:12:03Looks like from here, Stevie Ray.
00:12:05And that gives now Vince a chance to whack him from behind.
00:12:12But the argument here is going on between Vince and Stevie Ray.
00:12:17They both think they run the NWO now?
00:12:20Of course they do.
00:12:21Haven't you been following the storyline here?
00:12:23I don't know what they're thinking.
00:12:26I mean, we've even seen it for weeks.
00:12:28Who's in control here?
00:12:30A back kick.
00:12:31And first.
00:12:39He's gonna put on the Tequila Sunrise.
00:12:42He straightens up that body and sits back down on it.
00:12:45That's all Vince needs to start camping.
00:12:47He was reaching first for the refs, but then he tapped out.
00:12:51And Conan picks up a win in the face of an argument that ensued between Vince and Stevie Ray of NWO Black & White.
00:13:06And now he can pick up some pants.
00:13:09I don't think that's a new game plan there, Libby.
00:13:11Like, you guys know that.
00:13:15Is David still on that short leash?
00:13:18Got him right where I want him.
00:13:20Good.
00:13:21Yeah, funny you bring that up.
00:13:22We were talking about you earlier.
00:13:23He won't shut up about you.
00:13:24Good.
00:13:25He really looks up to you.
00:13:26He thinks you're his father, I think.
00:13:31Father?
00:13:32He was pretty upset about that match with his dad.
00:13:37He should be upset.
00:13:38He needs a lot of guidance after living under a household of lies and rumors all of his life.
00:13:45And for me to beat his dad and have him see the light on one day, I can understand why he's so upset.
00:13:52I mean, I am the man.
00:13:53I didn't even have to beat the guy they called me because I have always been the man.
00:13:57So, touche.
00:13:58All right.
00:13:59Now, what about this fight with Nash?
00:14:01Nash?
00:14:02Is it real?
00:14:03That's a different story.
00:14:04Of course it's real.
00:14:06Um, Nash.
00:14:07You know, if you would have seen the match, you'd understand that it was probably one of the toughest wars I've ever fought.
00:14:14I mean, it was 50-50 all the way down to the finish line.
00:14:17And when I took Nash out, I had to just turn everything on and put that killer instinct right in his heart and just drive my finger through his chest.
00:14:26Never had a chance once I turned it on.
00:14:29And, uh, if we had to fight again, I just don't know how it'd turn out.
00:14:33You really think you could beat him?
00:14:35Do I think I could beat him?
00:14:37Are you kidding?
00:14:38Again?
00:14:39Are you kidding?
00:14:40Well...
00:14:41Let me tell you something.
00:14:42Come here.
00:14:43Ooh.
00:14:44That's not all.
00:14:47And?
00:14:54All right, ladies and gentlemen.
00:14:59We are back and rocking the house tonight in a jam-packed Air Canada Center in Toronto.
00:15:06Please join me as we welcome back to this great city, one of the all-time greats, Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
00:15:19What a reaction, Tony.
00:15:21You've had to agree with that leading legend.
00:15:24Yeah, but why would we welcome him back?
00:15:26He took a new world forward.
00:15:27Think of it this way.
00:15:28Toronto, Ontario, Canada, if you think back through the years, has been the site of some of the highest profile matches in Hollywood Hogan's career.
00:15:37Very familiar to the crowd on hand here, and it's a sold out capacity crowd.
00:15:42What is it, Tony?
00:15:4320,000 plus?
00:15:4420,000 plus on hand.
00:15:46And here's what I think on that, Larry.
00:15:48Yeah, maybe the NWO is nothing we have by being behind Emily Warwater because they have threatened us and have to regret anything else that you can't take away from Hollywood Hulk and what he has meant to pro wrestling through the years.
00:16:04That's the point of wrestling history.
00:16:07Well, then it's up to Hollywood Hogan to become a positive force in professional wrestling and not with the New World Order as far as I'm concerned.
00:16:15Well, Tony, Mike, Larry, I'm sure you're gonna agree it has been a long time since this man has set foot on Canadian soil.
00:16:28But he is back and a lot of memories take you back to this great city of Toronto, Hollywood.
00:16:34Well, you know something mean, Gene?
00:16:37I guess you can say Hollywood and Wolfpack is definitely in the house, brother.
00:16:46Certainly you've come back to this great city, this great country with some objectives in mind, the way things are rolling right now, Hollywood.
00:17:00Well, you know, before I get down to the brass tacks, brother, the last time I was in Canada, they were screaming, they were yelling, and they were shaking the rafters just as loud as they are tonight, brother.
00:17:13Because when the man is in the house, when the man with the largest arms in the world hit Canadian soil, they knew there was gonna be a riot going on, brother.
00:17:32But I didn't come here to throw up no stinking trash, bro.
00:17:37I came here to talk straight talk.
00:17:40I'm the man because I beat the man.
00:17:43And I wanna know, where's my stinking belt at?
00:17:47Thank you, girlfriends, of course, for the belt that is currently held by Ric Flair.
00:17:52Like I said, brother, I'm here for a reason.
00:17:57And when I went through Canadian customs, and the brothers at the border taped my arms today, and they were 24 and one quarter inches.
00:18:07They said, they said, Hollywood, who in the hell are you gonna beat up tonight?
00:18:17And me and Gene, I took four fingers, brother, a pinky, a ring finger, a middle finger, and my trigger finger.
00:18:28And I said, I'm gonna beat up the main man that runs the four horsemen, the president of our company.
00:18:36I want Ric Flair to come out here tonight, put the belt on the line, and I'm gonna beat him right in the center of the ring.
00:18:46And as I was looking at the mountains around Canada, this would be a real nice place to deposit Ric Flair.
00:18:54Oh, what a match, that would be a main event tonight here on Micro.
00:18:59Hollywood, Hogan, and Ric Flair, do you think it's gonna happen?
00:19:02Well, the way it goes, I got Big Kev, the rest of the Wolfpack, and the black and white NWO,
00:19:08covering the whole building, looking for Ric Flair.
00:19:11And if I gotta drag him out here by that peroxide, bleached blonde hair of his,
00:19:17I'm gonna bring him out here, and I'm gonna put myself right in the middle of the ring,
00:19:22and I'm gonna embarrass him out of the country.
00:19:24I want my belt back tonight, because I'm gonna beat him up real bad.
00:19:28And the reason...
00:19:31Listen to the reaction of this crowd here tonight.
00:19:35The reason everybody loves Hollywood so much is because when you follow the largest arms in the world,
00:19:43you'll follow him for life.
00:19:48Because when you run with the Wolfpack, you know that we're just too sweet.
00:19:55How about that?
00:19:56I think a clarified vision right now from Hollywood Hulk Hogan demanding Ric Flair here tonight in the ring.
00:20:06And Tony, I'd love to see it happen.
00:20:09Back to you.
00:20:10Thanks a lot, Gene.
00:20:12They are standing and screaming for the Raptors here at the Air Canada Center in Toronto.
00:20:18And speaking of Raptors fans, a very interesting point was made going through customs today.
00:20:24Somewhere out of customs there, they saw Sting arrive in Toronto.
00:20:29I heard that too.
00:20:30What does that mean?
00:20:31Is he here?
00:20:32Will he be here?
00:20:34We'll be back.
00:20:35Everyone is standing, Goldberg.
00:20:45Goldberg's intensity starts when he walks in the ring, and goes slowly until the answer is lost.
00:20:54Raw, raw power.
00:20:56Hey, what about that ability by Goldberg?
00:20:59A jackhammer!
00:21:00Go!
00:21:01Each and every win has been decisive.
00:21:03Pick him up, and it's a slam.
00:21:06We'll see our first.
00:21:07Go!
00:21:08Down!
00:21:09He goes!
00:21:10Look how high!
00:21:11Get him up in the air!
00:21:12This one's over!
00:21:14Well put another mark on the ring.
00:21:16The man!
00:21:17Absolutely decimating opponents.
00:21:20Goldberg!
00:21:21He takes people apart in the ring.
00:21:23Just destroying them.
00:21:24Your winner!
00:21:25Goldberg!
00:21:28And the intensity we talked about at Bill, but then Goldberg,
00:21:32with peace!
00:21:33Whoa!
00:21:34He's the man!
00:21:35He's the man!
00:21:36Jackhammer tied!
00:21:37Sheer group!
00:21:38Goldberg!
00:21:39Again!
00:21:40Look what I am!
00:21:41Whoa!
00:21:42One of the most talked about athletes in the world today.
00:21:44Another chapter in the legend that's becoming Goldberg.
00:21:47Another devastating complete win for Goldberg.
00:21:51Who can stop him?
00:21:52Who can stop him?
00:21:53Mr. Goldberg.
00:21:54Can Bret Hart defeat Goldberg in five minutes, like he says?
00:22:13Fans, you decide if that match certainly ever takes place.
00:22:17It'll be very interesting.
00:22:18All right.
00:22:19Talking about Sting.
00:22:20Customs agents today said, hey, we saw Sting come through here.
00:22:23We haven't seen Sting in a long, long time.
00:22:25And if he shows up, remember the last time he had the red and the black face paint?
00:22:28And of course, then the Wolfpack turned the way they turned.
00:22:31We have to wonder if we see Sting, when we see Sting, what he'll look like.
00:22:35You know, it's interesting.
00:22:36Here's a mystique that surrounds a very interesting man.
00:22:40What will Sting wear?
00:22:42The black and white?
00:22:43The red and the black?
00:22:45And is he here?
00:22:46I mean, that could be a rumor through Customs.
00:22:48That could be a rumor, or we could see Sting somewhere here tonight.
00:22:53So stay with us, fans, here on TNT.
00:22:56All right, Mike, today, over the weekend, you had a chance to have a very close, up-close interview
00:23:00with one man we haven't seen in a while either, and that is a man by the name of Diamond Dallas Page.
00:23:04Does seem like a night of returns, doesn't it, Tony?
00:23:06You know, through the years, we've experienced many grudges in professional wrestling.
00:23:10But I don't think we've ever had a rivalry that took on the personal tone
00:23:13that anything we've ever seen before, like Diamond Dallas Page and big pop-up pump Scott Steiner.
00:23:19I did have an opportunity this past weekend, before we came up here to Toronto,
00:23:22to meet with DDP in Atlanta, Georgia, sit down and talk with him.
00:23:26It's a different DDP, I think, than we've ever heard before.
00:23:29Brings us up to date on a lot of things.
00:23:31We're gonna have a highlight package that will detail all the past events
00:23:35between Diamond Dallas Page and Scott Steiner,
00:23:37and then we will go right into the interview.
00:23:39All right, let's take a look at one special man named DDP.
00:23:43You want DDP?
00:23:45You want DDP?
00:23:50I want DDP?
00:23:54I want to introduce Doug.
00:23:58I want DDP這麼 far away.
00:24:00Now over the morning as they're here.
00:24:02So message me to death with him .
00:24:05You get around to the Dani, the clique .
00:24:09But now there ares too many vlogs here that have Magaziner느라,
00:24:13Diamond Dallas Page, we certainly appreciate the opportunity to finally talk with you,
00:24:28and I know there are millions of people watching at home that are interested in how Kimberly's doing.
00:24:34Well, she and me, I guess, have gone through a lot of drama lately, but she's doing fine. Thanks.
00:24:40The last time that we saw you was at Super Brawl. You were in the clutches of the Steiner Recliner from Big Papa Pump.
00:24:48How about yourself? Update us on your personal physical condition.
00:24:51Well, my doc tells me, Doc West, that according to the MRI, I had a herniated L4 disc, which started a sporadic paralysis in my legs.
00:25:02I mean, literally, I couldn't feel my legs.
00:25:03You know, I guess the way Steiner jacked me back into that and getting knocked into the turnbuckle the way it was,
00:25:09it knocked things out of whack, and I'll tell you, I was scared, man.
00:25:12But the feeling came back, and I'm feeling, actually, I'm feeling pretty good right now.
00:25:16A lot of rehab. I feel good, though.
00:25:17But you never submitted. You never gave up in that match.
00:25:20Yeah, I passed out.
00:25:22But everybody saw what happened. It was a double team. It was two-on-one from both Steiner and Bagwell.
00:25:26Am I asking you to make excuses for me? I don't think so.
00:25:32Look, Steiner took it to me, and for whatever reason, on that night, he laid me out.
00:25:40It ain't going to play out like that again.
00:25:42Paige, can I ask you one question?
00:25:45Yes, Mike.
00:25:46Clear up the confusion with the 30-day stipulation.
00:25:50What 30 days?
00:25:51What 30 days. Kimberly, the 30-day stipulation.
00:25:54Let me ask you a question.
00:25:55Are you an idiot, too, that that moron would come out there and throw a 30-day stipulation that he gets Kimberly if he wins?
00:26:04I mean, let's just run it down for anybody who didn't know.
00:26:08He stalks her while I'm in Las Vegas.
00:26:10He ends up coming to all her practices.
00:26:12She takes a bump, gets knocked out, and then that whole car fiasco?
00:26:16And I would put her up for 30 days?
00:26:19He obviously is a moron.
00:26:21That was never happening.
00:26:22Well, it's obvious that the issues between yourself and Scott Steiner have yet to be resolved.
00:26:27You think?
00:26:27When can we see the people's champion back?
00:26:30Stop it already with the people's champion thing, all right?
00:26:33Don't buy the hype.
00:26:35One thing you can be sure of, I am coming back.
00:26:39But when I do, I'm not coming back like a bull in a china shop.
00:26:44It's going to be my timing.
00:26:47I'm going to pick my spots.
00:26:49And there's one thing you can guarantee.
00:26:52Steiner, I'm going to get to you.
00:26:55And I'm going to get to you my way.
00:26:57A very serious, a very threat, Diamond Dallas Page.
00:27:05I'm going to hear you there, my daughter.
00:27:08I'm going to talk about today.
00:27:09Professor Walton.
00:27:11I'm going to hear you asking for the questions, and I'm very surprised that when you caught him,
00:27:16he was champion, that he just kind of slotted that thing away.
00:27:19Wasn't that amazing?
00:27:20But Diamond Dallas Page appeared to be more focused, more concentrated on Big Pop among Scott Steiner.
00:27:28But I think he really put it best when he said that we will do things in his own terms.
00:27:33He's going to do it his own way.
00:27:35I tell you, that's smart thinking.
00:27:36You've got to do it your way.
00:27:38You've got to have your opponent come to you on your ground, on your terms.
00:27:45And I agree with that.
00:27:46You know, we've got to do it that way.
00:27:47I mean, let's think about this.
00:27:49When the NWO came into Providence, came into power in this sport, they really turned professional wrestling around.
00:27:57And they made it very clear that you've got to do things any way, by any means possible, to get things done.
00:28:05And for Diamond Dallas Page to start turning that way, or start maybe lending that way, is the right thing to do.
00:28:11Because you've got to, it's an old Warren cliche, I know, but it's true, fight fire with fire.
00:28:17You've got to get dirtier than the dirtiest guy.
00:28:19You've got to get lower than they get to be successful.
00:28:23And that's exactly, it appears, what DDP is doing.
00:28:27It also appears what Ric Flair has been doing.
00:28:29And it appears, well, it doesn't appear, it's right, the right thing to do.
00:28:37Okay, talk about a man of prominence.
00:28:39Keep your eyes on Rath here.
00:28:40This guy for a big man.
00:28:42Really a surprising amount of agility in this guy.
00:28:47I mean, Kaos is a big, hungry, young guy, but Rath is just dwarfing him.
00:28:51And I think the thing that separates Rath from so many of the other competitors is that he combines that agility
00:28:56with the out-and-out power and strength that we see him exhibit against Kenny Kaos
00:29:00with the knees into the midsection in the corner.
00:29:03Into the ropes, ducking low, and here he comes, Kenny Kaos.
00:29:07Sent him down with the back elbow.
00:29:09Rath goes down hard and goes on the outside now.
00:29:12The fans of Rinkside, it's one of the hottest tickets in the city of Toronto.
00:29:19There are no tickets.
00:29:20It was, listen to what all, listen to every word I say now.
00:29:23It was one of the hottest tickets in the city of Toronto when they went on sale and sold out very, very quickly.
00:29:30It's our first appearance in WCW on TNT here in the Great North, and it's good to be here.
00:29:37We had a great following all day.
00:29:40Fans lined around here at this Air Canada Center, literally watching the wrestlers come to the arena.
00:29:45Just standing outside, watching, trying to get a glimpse through the windows of the limousines.
00:29:51Here's a cover, one, two.
00:29:54Hey, Kaos had a nice suplex there.
00:29:55Just couldn't hold him down.
00:29:57Rath, such a big, strong guy.
00:29:59Kaos is power-packed, but you've got to try something different.
00:30:03You don't want to attack Rath in that upper body head-on.
00:30:06He's too big.
00:30:07He's too strong.
00:30:12Foot to the face, and Kenny Kaos goes down.
00:30:17Two big power men here.
00:30:19Interesting comments from one Hollywood, Hogan, and what a reception that we talked about that we saw and we heard moments ago.
00:30:26Certainly the man is legendary all over the world, and certainly here in Toronto.
00:30:33Oakland?
00:30:35Hogan.
00:30:35Oh, Hogan.
00:30:37What a great example of that agility that you just talked about earlier.
00:30:41The athletic ability of this near 300-pounder in Rath, that standing drop kick that sent Kenny Kaos out to the floor.
00:30:47Good job, Kaos, reels on that, hands on his knees, trying to stand, but goes down to one knee.
00:30:56Oh, Rath was going, Kaos blocked it.
00:31:02It's again a little show on the outside, a little example of how you've got to fight fire with fire.
00:31:10Take it to a different level.
00:31:12Be aggressive.
00:31:12Yeah, take it to a different level.
00:31:14It's right, I mean, right here, Rath is trying to use nothing but power against Kaos, and Kaos is a strong guy, too.
00:31:20So, who's going to go to the science will most likely wind up victorious.
00:31:26We'll see if it comes back to the science and the holds.
00:31:29Rolling on the inside now.
00:31:33He measured him with that one and just ran right over him with a Larrion and got a two-cap.
00:31:39You know, Larry, I agree with the science.
00:31:41We talk about it.
00:31:42We've been advocates of the science, but how many times have we seen something other than science
00:31:48put a man in the position to be the champ and retain a title, a major title, for a long time?
00:31:55Well, are you talking about taking advantage of the rules as a single wrestler,
00:31:59or are you talking about a group that helps each other like the New World Order?
00:32:04There's two different ways.
00:32:05Well, yeah.
00:32:05Manly way and the cowardly way.
00:32:09There's a manly art to cheating.
00:32:11And I agree with that, but there's also the group way, but the end result is still success.
00:32:18I mean, it's still being on top.
00:32:19I mean, I'm not necessarily saying I always agree with that, but you've got to really look and go back and look at where we've gone.
00:32:26I mean, things have changed in our sport, man.
00:32:29You know that.
00:32:30Look at the fans in ringside.
00:32:31Look who they cheer for now.
00:32:32There's a time that we as announcers, and here's a cover here, one, two, didn't get him.
00:32:39But we've got to just stand up, open our eyes and say, hey, maybe you don't always have an agree with in the past,
00:32:45but it's the way things are going, and apparently that's the way to be successful.
00:32:49The world is becoming a very nasty place.
00:32:52Well, there you go.
00:32:54Tony, I think you make a great point.
00:32:55We've seen both of those avenues exploited in the past in World Championship Wrestling, singles wrestlers, strength in numbers.
00:33:02It seems to be that bottom line mentality forever is successful.
00:33:06You know, we sat up here for so long when the NWO came out here, and Scott Hall and Kevin Nash and David Hogan formed the New World Order.
00:33:15And they chased us away.
00:33:17They threatened us, and we stood on our firm ground, and we spoke about tradition, about WCW, and we tried our best.
00:33:24And a lot of times, I felt it fell on deaf ears to the point to where I would look at the tapes and think,
00:33:30you know, why did I say something like that?
00:33:31Because obviously, I'm the only one thinking this.
00:33:34So, hey, I don't know if you can't beat them, join them.
00:33:37But obviously, their way is the way to get things done.
00:33:41You can't beat them, cheat.
00:33:45Come on, break the floor!
00:33:45A choke hold is applied here.
00:33:47Dude!
00:33:48Don't stop this!
00:33:49Don't stop this!
00:33:49Don't stop this!
00:33:50Don't stop this!
00:33:51Don't stop this!
00:33:51My wrath is getting frustrated here.
00:33:53Kenny Chaos is not a pushover, and not even for a guy the size of Wrath.
00:34:00Back into the corner now, and the big man has him all tied up.
00:34:03Look at this!
00:34:03How about this move?
00:34:04He's losing his body.
00:34:06I mean, he's got the length in his legs.
00:34:08He can reach through that rope and hook that ankle and get the leverage.
00:34:12A lot of guys aren't big enough to do that kind of move.
00:34:14You got a name for the whole month?
00:34:15I've never seen anything like that before, wrapping his leg around the midsection of Kenny Chaos just
00:34:20to neutralize him in the corner.
00:34:21Well, guess what?
00:34:22He's gonna make one, Tony.
00:34:23No, you're on the edge of history right here, over the top.
00:34:26The web.
00:34:26The web, one, two.
00:34:28Got a two count.
00:34:30He did almost like trapped in the corner, like in a spider's web.
00:34:33We're gonna call it the web?
00:34:34That's what it's gonna be.
00:34:35That's what it's called here on the 29th of March.
00:34:37Here's the cover.
00:34:37One, two.
00:34:38It's been dubbed the web.
00:34:40We've done it.
00:34:40We've made history of games.
00:34:41I've done it.
00:34:42Okay, you've done it.
00:34:43That's why he's the legend.
00:34:44And a rear chin lock applied.
00:34:51What Rath has done here very successfully, you talk about the science, Larry, and I gotta
00:34:55agree with you.
00:34:56Using the scientific moves in the holds to get an advantage here.
00:34:59What Rath found out, Kenny, Chaos is not gonna give up.
00:35:02He's a tough, power-packed guy.
00:35:03So what is he doing?
00:35:04He couldn't beat him, got frustrated, but he went back to the basics.
00:35:07Didn't have the hold on properly.
00:35:10Chaos is getting about it, but he's got the right idea.
00:35:12Take him down.
00:35:13Let him use up his energy.
00:35:15Use the science.
00:35:18We are rapidly approaching the top of the hour, 9 o'clock straight up Eastern Time,
00:35:21when WCW Monday Night 12 takes the air.
00:35:24He's first now.
00:35:26Rolling a man over.
00:35:27Chaos has a chance to win it.
00:35:28Looking only get a two-count now.
00:35:34He's got to get aggressive here.
00:35:35He can't take his time.
00:35:37I know he's tired.
00:35:37I know he's breathing heavy, but this is where the endurance comes in, especially against
00:35:41a man that's much bigger than yourself.
00:35:43Cover him.
00:35:44He's wasting time.
00:35:46Too much time is what he's wasting, and a little posing as he slowly climbs to the
00:35:51turnbuckle all the way to the top.
00:35:53Long time to get there, and he's still connected.
00:35:57Boy, did he ever.
00:35:58One, two.
00:36:00But Rath kicks away.
00:36:01He really dropped down with a guillotine leg drop.
00:36:03That time, Professor.
00:36:04Amazing impact off the top rope by Kenny Chaos, and I'm surprised that he did not put Rath away.
00:36:10Only got a two-count.
00:36:11Well, it's hard to put a big man in a small package.
00:36:13Death penalty time.
00:36:15And it's up and down.
00:36:18And listen to the fans erupt.
00:36:19They love those type of maneuvers.
00:36:21And dominating type maneuvers.
00:36:23They also know that that death penalty is usually the prelude.
00:36:27It's usually the setup to the meltdown.
00:36:33And let's see if that's going to hold true here.
00:36:36A swift kick to the gut.
00:36:38The pump handle, part one.
00:36:40And the fans know it's coming.
00:36:43Got a big man to take up to his shoulder level.
00:36:46Get it with ease.
00:36:47That's all she wrote.
00:36:51And Rath slices another one down.
00:36:58And that was a big, powerful man, just like I said.
00:37:05And now we go to Mike today with another 900 of the globe.
00:37:09Tony, we talked earlier about this.
00:37:11Another reminder, behind-the-scenes information on Goldberg.
00:37:14Things that we've never talked about before on television.
00:37:17That combined with all the latest news from the world of professional wrestling.
00:37:21We'll review the events of the past seven days.
00:37:23We'll take a preview.
00:37:24A look ahead at the week to come.
00:37:26It's all available right now on the hotline.
00:37:29Vance Sting.
00:37:30We know he's in Toronto somewhere.
00:37:32Will he make an appearance here tonight?
00:37:34If he does, will it be up in the rafters?
00:37:36Will it be in the ring?
00:37:39Will it be in the stand?
00:37:40And if he makes an appearance, what will Sting look like?
00:37:44It's been a long, long time since we've seen the Stinger.
00:37:47Come on back with us on TNT.
00:37:50So, uh, what's the situation with David?
00:37:54Did you get anything done or what?
00:37:57What about when, uh, Hogan beat you?
00:38:01What is, what does that got to do with him?
00:38:05Why are you even bringing that up?
00:38:06Just a question.
00:38:06Why are you bringing that up?
00:38:09Can I ask you a question?
00:38:11What would make you, what, did you talk to Hogan?
00:38:13Did he say something about that?
00:38:14Yeah.
00:38:15And what was it?
00:38:16He said it was real.
00:38:18I want to know how you felt.
00:38:20So when he beat me, it was real?
00:38:23That's what he says.
00:38:23Did you see it?
00:38:24Did you ever watch the tape?
00:38:25Mm-hmm.
00:38:27And he pushed me with one finger and I got beat.
00:38:29So what are you here to stir it, right?
00:38:32I just wanted to know.
00:38:33Just wanted to ask you a question.
00:38:35Sorry.
00:38:36Oh, so it's real, huh?
00:38:38He says it's real.
00:38:40It's real, I mean, I don't, what's his angle?
00:38:41Is that to impress you?
00:38:43Did it work?
00:38:44Are you impressed?
00:38:44He beat me?
00:38:46Obviously, you guys disagree.
00:38:48Look at me.
00:38:48Do you think he can actually beat me?
00:38:52Come on.
00:38:53Honestly, you think he can beat Nash?
00:38:56Don't ask me that now.
00:38:58I don't know who's saying the list, but, uh, it's real, all right.
00:39:02It's real interesting.
00:39:03All right, ladies and gentlemen, back at the Air Canada Center.
00:39:09They are hanging from the rafters here tonight in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
00:39:15High time, close to the top of the hour that I introduce to you a man who I speak with week
00:39:21after week, the president of World Championship Wrestling, the 14-time WCW Heavyweight Champion
00:39:31of the World, ladies and gentlemen, the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
00:39:40You know, everywhere we go, there's someone hanging from the rafters.
00:39:44It's gotta be a tough seat.
00:39:45I wonder how much that thing costs to hang from the rafters.
00:39:48Yeah, that's a seat?
00:39:51Do you have to have a seat to hang from the rafters?
00:39:53They do every week.
00:39:54Here he comes, wherever they are, hanging from the rafters.
00:39:57They give you a noose for 20 bucks.
00:39:59In the upper deck, in the lower deck, on the floor, front row ringside,
00:40:04they are standing at attention because the Prez has arrived.
00:40:09The man who wields the power, the man who is the power,
00:40:12in pro wrestling, the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
00:40:18All right, as promised, the president of WCW, Ric Flair.
00:40:43You can hear the reaction of this crowd as you enter this fantastic arena here tonight.
00:40:48But what about the challenge, Nature Boy, earlier on from one Hollywood Hulk Hogan?
00:40:54Gene, if I were going to kick someone's butt tonight, it'd be Ty Domi's.
00:41:11But he won't show up.
00:41:12You see, one of the downsides of making big decisions for a big company is having to go global.
00:41:26And coming to Canada is not a good decision, because I don't like being here.
00:41:32It's the only country in the world where I can bring a $100 bill and
00:41:42spend a week with you every night at the Marriott, pal.
00:41:48Woo, you got it?
00:41:50I don't think you're gonna be a big hit here with that kind of talk.
00:41:53Well, here's the bottom line.
00:41:56Because I am the president of the greatest wrestling organization in the world,
00:42:01and because I'm a man that'll make things happen, I do have a surprise.
00:42:09A surprise for the wrestling fans in Canada and all over the world tonight.
00:42:17One of the biggest stars.
00:42:19I don't know if we need to edit that or not, it's live.
00:42:28One of the biggest stars in the industry has been after me all day long.
00:42:37So I told him that he could come out here tonight on my time and
00:42:44make a presentation to the president of World Championship Wrestling.
00:42:51I give you Diamond Dallas Payne.
00:42:55We need feedback, that is big news.
00:43:14My, my, my, how things have changed.
00:43:38What happened over the month I was gone?
00:43:43Bischoff beam into your body or what?
00:43:48This is like deja vu all over again.
00:43:52Yeah, you know why?
00:43:55You think you're going back to blowing me off?
00:43:57I think that because I got the book,
00:44:00I can do whatever I want with you just like I used to, how about that?
00:44:05Did it kill you to have to introduce me as a superstar or what?
00:44:09It had to be like sticking needles in your eyes.
00:44:14I have to admit that you have escalated to great heights much to my personal dismay.
00:44:23But that doesn't stop me.
00:44:24The bottom line is you know why I came here tonight.
00:44:27Yeah, I do.
00:44:28You came here tonight because you want me to give you a match with Scott Steiner.
00:44:38And we know why.
00:44:42Big Papa Scumbag, yeah.
00:44:46So you're in them throwing girls out of cars, huh?
00:44:51So all you people in Canada are a bunch of jack offs.
00:44:56You can tell we ain't in the USA, daddy.
00:45:04Wow.
00:45:05What is going on here, guys?
00:45:09Now, I'm gonna make a corporate decision.
00:45:14Hogan was out here hollering about wrestling me.
00:45:18You're out here hollering about wrestling Steiner.
00:45:22Here's the way it goes.
00:45:23Tonight, you are going to wrestle Hogan.
00:45:29Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute.
00:45:31Yeah, hey, why, because you ain't got the jack to get in there yourself?
00:45:36No, because I'm the boss and I give the orders.
00:45:45You like that?
00:45:48I'm the boss.
00:45:50It ain't about Jack, but to show you, but to show you what a player I am.
00:45:56Uh-oh, there's trouble.
00:46:00Oh, wait a minute.
00:46:02Here comes Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
00:46:05Wait a minute.
00:46:09You are in a lot of trouble, brother,
00:46:12because I'm gonna get that belt back, Jack.
00:46:17And as far as you go, you and I still got a big problem, brother.
00:46:34Let's put it like this.
00:46:36I don't care what it takes to get to Steiner.
00:46:40I'll go through you, and then I'll take the belt from you.
00:46:45Well, you know something, Mr. Jack?
00:46:52You and I do have something in common, big man.
00:46:57If I gotta kick your rear end and jump through hoops to get my belt back,
00:47:05I guess everybody in Canada is gonna witness it tonight, dude.
00:47:10That, hey, that works for me.
00:47:18That works for Diamond Dallas Page, it obviously works.
00:47:21Whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait.
00:47:23I am going to ensure you a victory,
00:47:27cuz I'm gonna be your manager tonight, pal.
00:47:30Whoa.
00:47:31My manager?
00:47:31Yeah.
00:47:32I'm gonna walk- I don't need you.
00:47:35I'm sure as hell don't need any of these people in here.
00:47:39What's that, what's that?
00:47:39Hey, hey.
00:47:40I'm sure as hell don't need you, you and your big, big nose.
00:47:44Am I saying things?
00:47:45Look upstairs.
00:47:48You might not, come here.
00:47:50You might not need me, but because I'm the boss, you got me, pal.
00:47:55Wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:47:59What is going on up here?
00:48:02You mentioned for the rafters, Dean, and we looked up and there, there he was.
00:48:07Did you see him?
00:48:08Yes, we did.
00:48:10Did you see him, Ric Flair?
00:48:11What the hell's he doing here?
00:48:13What do you mean, what's he doing here?
00:48:15There he is again.
00:48:16The president of the company, what's he doing here?
00:48:20Ladies and gentlemen, what a shocker.
00:48:23Sting has been sighted in the rafters.
00:48:25Sting, get down here, damn it, I'm the president.
00:48:28Don't be flying around without telling me.
00:48:31Get down here.
00:48:34Well, as they ponder this, we know one thing is gonna be Diamond Dallas Page and
00:48:38Hollywood Hogan here at the Air Canada Center tonight.
00:48:42Flair visibly upset, he's gonna be in Page's corner.
00:48:45Tony, back to you, my friend.
00:48:47Look what up.
00:48:49White and black face paint on.
00:48:52Sting is in the building.
00:48:54And we're coming right back with Mitro.
00:49:24It's the program that fades pro wrestling.
00:49:29It's on the air, ladies and gentlemen.
00:49:31All Canada, we're in the Air Canada Center in Toronto, Ontario.
00:49:37The brand new Air Canada Center, home of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
00:49:41Home of the Toronto Raptors of the NBA.
00:49:44Tonight, it's the home of World Championship Wrestling.
00:49:48Welcome to Mitro.
00:49:50And we know a lot right now.
00:49:52We know that Hollywood Hogan, Diamond Dallas Page will go at it.
00:49:57Will wrestle in this program tonight.
00:50:01And we know that it's not a rumor, it's a fact.
00:50:05Sting is in the building.
00:50:09But the rumors turned out to be true.
00:50:11Sting is here.
00:50:12He was wearing the white and black face paint.
00:50:14Yes, he was.
00:50:15What does that tell us?
00:50:16He's not Wolfpack.
00:50:17Well, that tells us nothing, actually, to be honest with you.
00:50:20Because Wolfpack, black and white, red and black, we're all kind of one in the same now.
00:50:24With exception of no one knows who's in charge, the white and the black.
00:50:28But it was very apparent that when Sting was high in the Raptors, that he was in charge.
00:50:34Because in the midst of that intense interview, Sting got everybody's attention,
00:50:39including the men in the ring, Mike.
00:50:40That's exactly right, Tony, he drew the attention of the president of WCW, Ric Flair,
00:50:45as well as this capacity crowd on hand here in Toronto.
00:50:49And Sting is back.
00:50:51And there they are, we'd be remiss with not saying hello to our gorgeous Nitro girls,
00:50:55bringing us Monday Nitro here tonight.
00:50:57The Prez is here, Ric Flair said Hollywood Hogan, and Diamond Dallas Page will go at it.
00:51:02Both men have wants.
00:51:04DDP wants to get Scott Steiner, Hogan wants to get Flair and get the title back,
00:51:08and they're both willing to go at it tonight for that end.
00:51:11Yeah, you know, it was a cute little job of sidestepping.
00:51:13Hollywood Hogan comes out, he wants the championship belt, and all of a sudden,
00:51:17Flair jumps out and Diamond Dallas Page winds up in the ring with Hollywood. Interesting.
00:51:23Diamond Dallas Page, he did an interview with him, a little bit rougher edge to him.
00:51:27He really came out and said exactly what he thought to the fans here.
00:51:31Really did, Tony, this is shaping up as a Nitro for the ages.
00:51:35This is one to remember.
00:51:36It's time to go to the ring.
00:51:44And we go back to the ring with professional wrestling action.
00:51:48The science of the park on this lake.
00:51:51It's gonna stick the camera.
00:51:52I say science is the only thing, maybe with a little kryptonite,
00:51:56that's gonna help you against Scott Norton.
00:51:59There's nowhere on this man, maybe a couple of small places, that you can hurt him.
00:52:05He's got muscles.
00:52:06You're not supposed to have muscles.
00:52:09Yeah, but we may have a match for big Scott Norton.
00:52:12Because look who's coming out now to face him on Nitro.
00:52:16And it will take the science of the dog-faced gremlin to compete one-on-one against Mr. Norton.
00:52:23Don't let Steiner fool him, and he can bark.
00:52:29He can wear those ear guards, even though he doesn't need them.
00:52:31His ears are all body-forward like mine are anyway.
00:52:35He is the master of the suplex.
00:52:38He is a tough customer.
00:52:39He will wrestle you, and he will fight you.
00:52:42It's gonna be a good one.
00:52:43Let me see your ear here.
00:52:46Man, that's an ugly ear you got on you there, Larry.
00:52:49You know, you got the headset on, you can't really, look here, Mike.
00:52:52Maybe we'll do it one more time.
00:52:53Get the headset on.
00:52:54It's a sign of a wrestler.
00:52:55Is it? You can probably, with classic surgery, get that done.
00:52:58You don't need that now.
00:52:58We're gonna leave it right where it is.
00:52:59Now we're gonna scare every golfer to death.
00:53:02You're gonna scare.
00:53:03Hold on now.
00:53:04Hold on.
00:53:05Larry Zabizka is gonna scare golfers to death with a cauliflower in here.
00:53:08Now there's a good one.
00:53:09Was that to David Duvall's knees I just heard shaking?
00:53:12Hey, don't even get into it.
00:53:13With the trophy club boys, Mitch Cook, Mad Man, Jimmy DeHaan, I beat them all.
00:53:18They will testify.
00:53:19Okay, I'm not gonna get in there.
00:53:21We gotta get into wrestling, but David Duvall will beat you with his eyes closed.
00:53:24Not with his arms broke.
00:53:25Here we go, back into the corner now.
00:53:27And look at that, almost that time that the
00:53:31Derricks got into hitting.
00:53:34He likes this type of stuff, Mike Denae.
00:53:36Look at him going right back at Scott Flesch.
00:53:38Oh, he sure does, Tony.
00:53:40And this is just the kind of physical matchup that we expected between these two brawlers.
00:53:45Yeah, you got two guys with basically the same mentality, very physical individuals.
00:53:51They love to hurt each other.
00:53:53And they are not intimidated by each other at all.
00:53:57They both have the same type of style.
00:53:59And look at this Randy Anderson peewee, if you will, trying to hold the man back,
00:54:04but he'd soon bite the bottom rope with Rick Steiner.
00:54:06Is that nasty?
00:54:09Norton's a real nasty individual.
00:54:11I mean, he's got the personality of a rattlesnake.
00:54:14And how often in the past few months have we seen Scott Norton retreat as he did in the
00:54:19opening minute of this matchup?
00:54:20I can tell you, not very often.
00:54:22Now you're talking about nasty, and it goes over to the point of a quick drive home early.
00:54:27Nasty is seemingly the way to go.
00:54:30Think about what he's heard in the ring.
00:54:32Think about how things have come around in this sport.
00:54:35Like it or not, that's the way it is in pro wrestling these days.
00:54:39It's a brutal business, and to survive,
00:54:42you've got to be a brutal individual.
00:54:45Scott Norton with some new tricks up his sleeve.
00:54:47Did you see that double cross chop?
00:54:49I think that really surprised Rick Steiner.
00:54:51And Larry, this is something that we've spoken about quite a bit in the past few weeks.
00:54:55The extensive video tape study.
00:54:57It's the wrestler that varies things up and has,
00:54:59well, a little variation on a move that is often so effective.
00:55:03Well, vary it up, but go for a man's weakness, Norton.
00:55:06Most likely pick that up in Japan.
00:55:08I mean, the neck is an area you can't develop that much.
00:55:11The eyeball is an area with no muscles, a couple of other on the body.
00:55:15Other than that, Norton and Steiner have no soft parts.
00:55:19Did you just, the eyeball is the area with no muscles?
00:55:22Did you say that?
00:55:23You can't put a dumbbell on an eyeball and do reps.
00:55:26Oh, very good, Larry.
00:55:28We've got to take a break on that one, please.
00:55:30Okay, we're back today.
00:55:35And Zbysko, you can stop your conversation because the wrestling match continues.
00:55:39That's what we were talking about, the action in the ring.
00:55:41Well, you know, I was just coming to the professor here again.
00:55:46We're talking about the science earlier, and that's what Rick Steiner has.
00:55:49He may not be quite as strong as Norm, but he's got more science.
00:55:52He knows he's a little bit of a wrestler, but he's not using it.
00:55:56He's trying to outbrawl the bigger man.
00:55:58Well, that comes from the background of the amateur wrestling background at
00:56:02University of Michigan, and a guy who was a bouncer and known for a great arm
00:56:06wrestler in Scott Norton.
00:56:07Look at that, just German suplexed, released 340 pounds of Scott Norton.
00:56:14He's getting up too slow, though, Scott Norton.
00:56:19The first man up enabling him to run over him with a right-handed running lariat.
00:56:26And Randy Anderson administering that mandatory 10 count of both men who were down on the mat,
00:56:30but they get back up once again.
00:56:32A very brutal matchup, like we anticipated.
00:56:37And once again, so many times, those back muscles are, and the quadriceps are so overlooked.
00:56:45We talk so much about the arms and the chest and the upper body, but a back body drop,
00:56:49a big man like Norton takes leg strength and a great powerful back as well, Larry.
00:56:53Yeah, but look at this shortcut he takes on the way out.
00:56:56He thumbs Rick Steiner in the eyeball.
00:56:59Again, no muscle tissue on the eye.
00:57:02Did you say on the way out?
00:57:04You said out.
00:57:04Well, we're in Canada, aren't we?
00:57:05Yeah, but you don't talk like that, he looks like out like we do.
00:57:09I don't know what I said.
00:57:10He hit the pole.
00:57:12He hit the pole.
00:57:15And that one, again, three times, four times, four times.
00:57:25And he's, I was gonna say he's still standing.
00:57:27He was until Rick Steiner rolled him into the ring.
00:57:29It didn't knock him out.
00:57:30What?
00:57:33This may, up on top.
00:57:35Steiner Bulldog on the way.
00:57:37He got him.
00:57:38He got him.
00:57:38He may be out.
00:57:40There you go.
00:57:41Let's see.
00:57:42One, two, three.
00:57:44We got him.
00:57:46Four times to the ring coach.
00:57:48Count of Mike, four times to the ring coach.
00:57:53And then the Steiner Bulldog, that's the only way to get the man down.
00:57:57And Rick Steiner wins over Scandal here on Monday Night Show.
00:58:02Wow.
00:58:02What an accomplishment for the dog-faced gremlins.
00:58:06Watch there.
00:58:06That's not an easy feat.
00:58:07Any victory over Scott Norton is not easy.
00:58:09Look at Steiner up here.
00:58:11All his weight comes down.
00:58:12Norton didn't see him.
00:58:13Just crashed down on the back of Norton's neck.
00:58:17Sometimes the bigger the neck, the less movement.
00:58:19So more devastating on a big man like Norton.
00:58:22Again, use the science, and he'll bring down the beast.
00:58:26It's our Castro on GJX Replay, Drive Hard.
00:58:31Well, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to throw out Larry Zabisco and bring in
00:58:35the weasel Bobby the Brain Heenan.
00:58:37Don't forget, later on tonight, it is Hollywood Hogan, Diamond Dallas Page.
00:58:41And, Mike, what did Ric Flair say?
00:58:43Ric Flair said that he was going to be in the corner of the EDP.
00:58:46He was going to be his manager tonight to guarantee victory.
00:58:49Very good.
00:58:51You got a hotline promo you got to do this segment or something?
00:58:54No, I think we've already wrapped those up, Tony.
00:58:55There's something new.
00:58:58Nevertheless, fans, that's all still to come.
00:59:01Here on Monday Night Draw from the Air Canada Center.
00:59:04Diamond in team seems so happy about that.
00:59:07He's going to go into it.
00:59:08That's still to come.
00:59:09We'll be back on TNT.
00:59:12Here's the deal.
00:59:13Chris and Dean just opened up a match.
00:59:15They're challenging anybody.
00:59:17You know, my dog has something else to do.
00:59:19I need a partner.
00:59:21Oh, Ray, we did this before.
00:59:23It didn't work out, you know?
00:59:24I mean, I did it with Chavo.
00:59:25It didn't work out.
00:59:26Maybe, you know, we got a match coming to Spring Stampede.
00:59:28Let's just worry about that.
00:59:28Don't, you know, we don't have to throw this in there now.
00:59:30I know what you're saying, but every time we go out there, we tear it up.
00:59:33We know each other.
00:59:34We know how we work.
00:59:35You know, let's go out there.
00:59:36I know we can be tag team champs tonight.
00:59:38All right.
00:59:39Believe me, believe me.
00:59:40All right.
00:59:41Listen, we walk in as partners.
00:59:43We walk out as partners and as friends.
00:59:44We don't, no messing around now.
00:59:45That's what I'm saying.
00:59:46Forget the past.
00:59:47Forget the future.
00:59:48Let's talk about it right now.
00:59:50Let's do it.
00:59:50All right.
00:59:51You feel me?
00:59:51I'm in.
00:59:52Yeah?
00:59:52Yeah.
00:59:52I got your back.
00:59:53All right.
00:59:53I got your back.
00:59:54Okay.
00:59:54All right.
00:59:56Wherever you are around the world, in the United States and Canada, overseas.
01:00:00Welcome back to Monday Nitro.
01:00:02A couple of reminders before the next match gets underway.
01:00:04It will be the television title that next Monday, the 5th of April.
01:00:08We're back in the States, in Las Vegas, at the MGM Grand.
01:00:12And the Garden Arena tickets available to Ron Robinson Ticketmaster.
01:00:16Don't forget that we're gonna be going on April 19th, the Gainesville floor of the
01:00:19Otano Center, the home of the Gainesville for Monday Nitro.
01:00:23Tickets at University Reach Union box office and Ticketmaster outlets.
01:00:26Then on Monday, April 26th in Fargo, North Dakota, at the Fargo Dome.
01:00:30It's Monday Nitro.
01:00:31Tickets at the box office and all Ticketmaster locations.
01:00:35Another reminder is, you did not kick me out yet.
01:00:37Yeah, what are you doing here?
01:00:38We couldn't find the plane.
01:00:41This is a little overtime for you, isn't it?
01:00:43I'm gonna charge him double.
01:00:44Yeah, take, take more points instead of two.
01:00:48My boy, the explosion in the world, television champion has arrived.
01:00:54And he's looking good.
01:00:55He's always looking good.
01:00:57It's Booker T.
01:00:59Time to raise the roof in Toronto for the very first time.
01:01:05You know, a lot of raise the roof was done, obviously, when Steve came after you.
01:01:10Is that crazy?
01:01:13It's been so long since we've seen Sting.
01:01:18And the timing of his appearance with the President of World Championship Wrestling,
01:01:23Ric Flair, Diamond Dallas Page, and Gene Overland all in the ring.
01:01:26Seemed to keep, or maybe catch Ric Flair off guard, didn't it?
01:01:29Sounded like it did.
01:01:30Yeah.
01:01:31You know what I bet?
01:01:32I bet when Sting made an appearance, I bet when Sting made an appearance and we saw it,
01:01:38I bet you the Weasel, I bet you Heenan had all his Stooges go out and try to find something.
01:01:43Okay.
01:01:43And then guess what?
01:01:44What happened?
01:01:45They found nothing.
01:01:45I bet they didn't find a thing.
01:01:48They didn't find a Weasel.
01:01:49He's probably still looking for scoops somewhere.
01:01:54You're saying that, Mr. Hotline?
01:01:58Can't tell you on TV, but call the hotline.
01:02:00Well, I'll tell you who's hot, and that's Booker T right there.
01:02:03He is.
01:02:04And you better be sharp about it.
01:02:05Chris Adams calls himself a gentleman, but that's just a fool.
01:02:10One, two, three.
01:02:11See, I'll tell you, I don't have a hotline.
01:02:13I'll tell you on TV that, hey, I don't know.
01:02:17Here we go.
01:02:18Chris Adams, and was Larry saying something during that exchange there, Mike?
01:02:21He was talking about this matchup.
01:02:23I'm talking about the matches.
01:02:24Pay no mind to me.
01:02:25Sure.
01:02:25Concentrate, Tony, on what's going on in the ring here with Booker T and Chris Adams.
01:02:29TV title at stake.
01:02:30Experience Edge to the gentleman Chris Adams, but Booker T has momentum on his side.
01:02:36Shoulder block took Adams off of his feet.
01:02:39Booker T just so confident, overly confident as well in his abilities, and he should be.
01:02:45The man is a talented wrestler, and the man defeated one of the biggest
01:02:48baddest and toughest in Big Papa Pump, Scott Steiner, to win that belt.
01:02:52That's two-fold reason to be very confident, Larry.
01:02:54Yeah, the confidence is just beaming off Booker T, but don't underestimate anybody.
01:02:59A guy like Chris Adams, very good on the mat, won't be able to keep up a choker in movement,
01:03:04but look it, he can reverse you.
01:03:07And don't forget, when Booker T won the TV title from Big Papa Pump, it was because of an errant
01:03:12cheer shot, outside interference on the part of Buff Bagwell, and that's led to a real problem
01:03:17between Scott Steiner and Buff Bagwell.
01:03:19Good.
01:03:24Light on his feet, Booker T, Chris Adams, the veteran that he is, holding his ground,
01:03:28and now he's very angry that Booker T wants to bounce around and jump around and not stay still here.
01:03:33But Adams knows what his game is.
01:03:34He can't keep up with Booker T. Adams wants to get Booker in the middle,
01:03:37take him down, but Booker got Adams down.
01:03:40He's gonna reverse it. See, Booker's too high.
01:03:44Reverse it into a hammerlock, Chris Adams.
01:03:46See, get that hammerlock, keep that chest over, keep the weight on it.
01:03:49Slipped out.
01:03:52So he didn't do what you were telling him to do.
01:03:54He tried.
01:03:55He tried.
01:03:55It's much easier said than done.
01:03:57Sure, I'm sure of that.
01:03:59There's no question, you quarrel at these athletes, they're tough.
01:04:02And where the trap goes now, Chris Adams.
01:04:04Good.
01:04:05What a phenomenal drop kick that was.
01:04:09That was one for the highlight reel right there.
01:04:11All about putting it together, chain wrestling on the part of Booker T,
01:04:15the leapfrog which turns into the drop kick and followed with the arm drag.
01:04:19Yeah, Chris Adams is seeing stars.
01:04:22I'm not talking about Hollywood Hogan.
01:04:24Okay, it's a little show up going on right here.
01:04:26And Adams says, hey, great move, shake hands on it.
01:04:33And the fans boo the handshake.
01:04:35So there you go.
01:04:36That's the world we live in, boo the handshake.
01:04:39That's not the handshake, it's the fact that.
01:04:41It's the handshake, they booed the handshake.
01:04:43It's the fact that you shouldn't even trust a man to shake his hand in there.
01:04:46Get out of the court, man.
01:04:47Okay, whatever.
01:04:48Man sticks his hand out to shake it, what do you do?
01:04:51You kick him in the ribs.
01:04:56Believe me, I've been in there.
01:04:58I know you have, living legend, that's why you are who you are.
01:05:01In to the corner, Booker T's in trouble down here.
01:05:04Chris Adams, fresh off of that handshake.
01:05:08See, now they boo a handshake, but then you try to beat his side of his head into a turn.
01:05:12Hey, guys, it's 1999.
01:05:17Hey, what professional wrestling is all about in 99.
01:05:19Yes, it is.
01:05:21The rough and rugged style that we've come to love.
01:05:24Oh, what an axe kick.
01:05:25We got him up and down.
01:05:27And he'll cover him after the axe kick, one, two.
01:05:31You can see that left arm, Adams got it out in the nick of time.
01:05:34Nice arm bar by Booker, but he should get up on it, put the weight over the shoulder,
01:05:38and he's not doing that.
01:05:44Adams didn't even see that one coming.
01:05:46Reverse kick caught him in the side of the head.
01:05:51And Booker T,
01:05:52turning his attention away.
01:05:54And that one cost him that time, as Adams pulled down on the tights and
01:05:57pulled him on the outside.
01:05:58Vince Sterling come tonight.
01:06:00Hollywood hoping will meet Diamond Dallas Page.
01:06:03Ric Flair, the President, will be the manager of DDP in his corner.
01:06:07And that brings back all types of possibilities there, guys.
01:06:11That's the super kick from Chris Adams.
01:06:13It almost took his head off.
01:06:14Hey, a good extension, but wrong place.
01:06:17Adams can't win out there.
01:06:19That was a nice shot, too.
01:06:21That's what he's known for.
01:06:22Booker T, very fortunate.
01:06:24You're right, Larry.
01:06:24That super kick took place out on the arena floor.
01:06:28If that was in the ring, and if Chris Adams quickly followed up with a cover,
01:06:32we could have a new World's TV champ.
01:06:33I'm very surprised he didn't try to follow up with a cover.
01:06:36I'm surprised he didn't throw him in the ring quickly to try to get the one, two, three.
01:06:40What we're seeing here is Booker T's actions, beginning of the match,
01:06:44feeling good about himself.
01:06:45The win streak that he's gone through has brought out a little bit more intensity,
01:06:49a little bit more of an edge onto Chris Adams.
01:06:51Well, Chris Adams, this is what Chris Adams planned to do.
01:06:53He wants to ground Booker T.
01:06:55But like I said, it's not easy.
01:06:57It's not easy.
01:06:57So it takes time.
01:06:58And Chris Adams may have caught Booker T in the trap.
01:07:02Hey, that's the theme of the night.
01:07:04Everybody's got an edge about him.
01:07:05You know, we're all edgy.
01:07:09And that's what's going on here.
01:07:11Pick up.
01:07:12Power bombing.
01:07:13Wow.
01:07:13How often do we see a power bomb from Chris Adams?
01:07:16Never.
01:07:16Here's a cover.
01:07:17One, two.
01:07:19Couldn't hold him.
01:07:21And Booker T comes up.
01:07:23As much shock, as much pain.
01:07:26And Adams drives him down.
01:07:27Look at this.
01:07:28He laces those lines in between.
01:07:31That keeps Booker from being able to push back up.
01:07:33And I don't know why Chris let him out of that.
01:07:36I would have stayed on that.
01:07:37Let Booker use all his energy trying to get the other man's weight off.
01:07:41Well, he let him get back up into his own power.
01:07:43And then the belly of back drop him on the back of his head.
01:07:45And Chris Adams has come to fight.
01:07:47He's come to win this television belt.
01:07:49And he could right here tonight on Nitro.
01:07:51Another prime example about what we spoke about earlier.
01:07:54The varying of the offense.
01:07:55New moves.
01:07:56It's paid off for Adams.
01:07:57Here's the cover, two.
01:07:59Barely kicked out.
01:08:02Both men very slowly up to their feet here.
01:08:06Booker T hold on.
01:08:08Pull on drag and twist.
01:08:09And then to the midsection and to the ribs.
01:08:11The spin wheel kicker, Harlem side kick, if you will.
01:08:14And Booker T, much different demeanor on the face right now.
01:08:20He's been put through the test here.
01:08:21This television title defense here on Monday Nitro.
01:08:28Forearm shot.
01:08:28Look at Adams once again.
01:08:29Look at the face of Adams.
01:08:30The determination in his jaw.
01:08:32The pick up.
01:08:34The sidewalk slam.
01:08:36I think his jaw is in a different place now.
01:08:41I believe so.
01:08:44Adams trying to get up out of that under his own power.
01:08:46Booker T will send him back up.
01:08:48Booker T will pick him up and kick him down.
01:08:51There's his trademark.
01:08:55He's got it.
01:08:58Bam.
01:08:59Got him again.
01:09:02Booker T has gone to the far right side.
01:09:05Turnbuckle area.
01:09:06A long way to go.
01:09:07But Adams trying to get up.
01:09:09Trying to get to his feet.
01:09:10Booker T nailed him with a missile drop kick.
01:09:13For the cover.
01:09:14That's it.
01:09:18Excellent recovery by the TV champ.
01:09:21Chris Adams was in control for much of this matchup.
01:09:24But Booker T and the missile drop kick prevailed.
01:09:28How about that?
01:09:29Well, Adams gave it a good try.
01:09:31But Booker T just has such a great shape.
01:09:33I think maybe endurance at the end.
01:09:35When Adams was sucking wind, Booker T still was at 99%.
01:09:39Thanks a lot, Larry.
01:09:42See you next week.
01:09:42Yeah.
01:09:43I'll be golfing.
01:09:45I'll be thinking about you.
01:09:46Yeah, David Duvall, future to death.
01:09:47Man, don't forget.
01:09:48David Duvall gets my foot out.
01:09:49Hey, I've got a promo to do here.
