00:06:12What a way to start Nitro, Tony.
00:06:24Yeah, Gene, you don't have to apologize about this.
00:06:26The man makes his own rules as well.
00:06:28Here comes Big Sexy.
00:06:30Back up.
00:06:42Before you think about spearing me there, Billy Boy, you don't know what I got underneath
00:06:50this hockey jersey, so back up.
00:06:54I'm a big titanium, boy.
00:07:01I sat back there.
00:07:02You think you're getting a screw job, huh?
00:07:05Let me tell you something.
00:07:07I've been doing this for 10 years.
00:07:1010 years from now, you know what people will be saying?
00:07:12They won't be talking about Goldberg.
00:07:14They'll be talking about Nash, because I'm the guy that stopped your streak.
00:07:18Right about that.
00:07:24You know, you can live in the past all you want, but today is another day.
00:07:30Let me go ahead and do you a favor.
00:07:40Goldberg.
00:07:41Forget about your little lottery.
00:07:44You got me at Spring Stampede, Goldberg.
00:07:46Ha!
00:07:47And the way I see that, Merry Christmas, Goldberg.
00:07:54Yeah, yes, I know.
00:08:00Look, I can be in one place.
00:08:01Double A?
00:08:02At one time.
00:08:03Double A?
00:08:04Hold on, hold on.
00:08:05What's going on right here?
00:08:06What are they doing?
00:08:07Did you talk to him?
00:08:08I haven't had a chance to talk to him.
00:08:09Come on, man.
00:08:10Yeah, yeah.
00:08:11Who are you talking to now?
00:08:12Look, I gotta go.
00:08:13We gotta get this resolved.
00:08:14Look, don't you set in on me too.
00:08:16I got business to take care of.
00:08:18I can't believe this is going on.
00:08:19Look at that.
00:08:20I'll get him.
00:08:21Please.
00:08:22Talk to him right now.
00:08:23I won't let you down.
00:08:24I got it.
00:08:25This thing needs to be synchronized, man.
00:08:26We need to put this together.
00:08:27I got it.
00:08:28This portion of WCW Monday Nitro is brought to you by Foul Believe.
00:08:34You can always tell the guys who use Foul Believe.
00:08:39Yeah, you can always tell the guys who watch the Nitro Girls.
00:08:42They're standing and foaming at the mouth.
00:08:44And we're back with the gorgeous Nitro Girls.
00:08:46And our brand new look of WCW Monday Nitro.
00:08:50And Brain, how about for a blockbuster of a match for Spring Stampede,
00:08:57we've got Goldberg and Kevin Nash.
00:09:00Goldberg, now he has to reach into the hopper.
00:09:03Nash putting Dane in, and they agreed to him.
00:09:06Well, that's the way I like things to happen here in the new Nitro.
00:09:09Right up front, quick and fast.
00:09:11And let's see some action.
00:09:12They should do it right now, as far as I'm concerned.
00:09:15But it's gonna be a great pay-per-view with that match on the card.
00:09:18We've been, of course, at the Dracolidome this coming Sunday,
00:09:21and live only on pay-per-view.
00:09:23You know by now that we're gonna have the finals of the United States tournament.
00:09:27But now you know Goldberg and Nash will go at it.
00:09:29And as Nash said, he's the only man in the sport who has a win against Goldberg.
00:09:35And so you know that Goldberg is gonna be pumped as never before
00:09:39to face Nash this coming Sunday.
00:09:41And you know Nash is gonna be pumped,
00:09:43because he wants to be the man that beats Goldberg twice.
00:09:46Now let's take it to our good friend, Ricky Rackman.
00:09:51You know, hey tell me, do the Nitro girls look amazing or what?
00:09:55I am Ricky Rackman.
00:09:56I know two things right now.
00:09:58One would be that Las Vegas truly has some wrestling fans.
00:10:02Am I correct?
00:10:03And I know another thing that you should be calling the WCW hotline.
00:10:08This is the number.
00:10:09It's 1-900-909-9900.
00:10:12It costs $1.69 a minute.
00:10:15Kids, please ask your parents' permission before you call.
00:10:18And who can you hear if you call that hotline?
00:10:20Three fine gentlemen.
00:10:22Mike Tenet, me and Gene Okerlinda, and Mark Madden.
00:10:25And if you call on Monday, you will get the weekend wrap-up.
00:10:28And you'll even find out some dirt and info on stuff that you're not even gonna find out on Nitro tonight.
00:10:32And if you're in Canada, call 909.
00:10:35What's the number in Canada?
00:10:37I forgot.
00:10:38I'll give 909-451-5344.
00:10:40Give me a break.
00:10:41I'm the new guy.
00:10:44Thanks a lot there, Rick.
00:10:45Can you believe you called Okerlinda, Madden, and Gene Fine Guy?
00:10:49Can you believe he bought that shirt?
00:10:51He hasn't been working here long, has he?
00:10:53Obviously, they settled the Liberace estate.
00:10:58Ricky Rackman with us in this first hour in a brand new shirt.
00:11:01And a brand new day.
00:11:03And we're gonna go to the ring for our first confrontation.
00:11:08And it's gonna be Kendall Windham.
00:11:10And you notice how Kendall's got a kendo stick in his hand.
00:11:13This is gonna be a kendo stick match.
00:11:15Which means he and his opponent will be coming out shortly.
00:11:18Pat will have the kendo sticks.
00:11:20And beyond that, I have no idea what they're gonna do, what the rules are.
00:11:24I'm sure they just have to beat each other into submission.
00:11:26Well, those aren't big toothpicks.
00:11:28I imagine they're gonna be whacking each other pretty good with them.
00:11:31You know, we're in a new location.
00:11:33We're real close here to the action.
00:11:35Those kendo sticks get moving quickly.
00:11:37I'm gonna have to stand behind you.
00:11:39Well, if you stand behind me, you'll be under the table.
00:11:42That's where I'm going.
00:11:43What a look, huh?
00:11:44What an opening.
00:11:45What a night it is.
00:11:46And we're just beginning.
00:11:47And we've talked a lot about Spring Stampede.
00:11:50The event is this Sunday.
00:11:52And we've talked about hardcore, extreme, super hardcore.
00:11:56I think this man exemplifies all of that.
00:11:58And he's gonna face Bam Bam Bigelow.
00:12:00Another one who exemplifies that this Sunday.
00:12:03But before he gets there, he's gonna have to wield that kendo stick against Kendall Windham.
00:12:08And would you check out Chastity?
00:12:12Okay.
00:12:13She looks a little different tonight.
00:12:15She looks preppy.
00:12:17I like that look.
00:12:19Rah, rah, sis, boom, bah.
00:12:21Kind of a schoolgirl type look, would you say?
00:12:25Did you say sis, boom, bah?
00:12:27Yes, I did.
00:12:28Sis, boom, bah.
00:12:30Yes.
00:12:31Sis, boom, bah.
00:12:32Okay.
00:12:33That's a good one.
00:12:34I like that one.
00:12:35Yes.
00:12:36I guess you can say sis, boom, bah, if you're covered in barbed wire.
00:12:41You can say anything if you want if you're covered in barbed wire.
00:12:43This one's gonna be red hotbed.
00:12:45Johnny Boone is the referee.
00:12:47And there is Hack, who has made a profound impact in world championship wrestling
00:12:52since his arrival not too long ago.
00:12:54And he and Kendall Windham, who's a tough athlete from the state of Texas, will go at it.
00:13:01And Hack is very, very tentative about going in the ring.
00:13:06Of course, Hack's been known, and we've called it a Singapore cane, or called it a Kendo stick tonight.
00:13:11Singapore cane before, but he's never gone into the ring where his opponent, at least that we've seen,
00:13:16that his opponent has a stick as well, Brie.
00:13:18I don't think that matters to Hack.
00:13:19He's a tough guy.
00:13:20Wraps himself in barbed wire.
00:13:22He doesn't care about the other man having a stick.
00:13:24You watch what Hack's gonna do.
00:13:26And what do you think, Chasity, if we'll recall, back at Uncensored turned on her brother Raven?
00:13:31Wouldn't you?
00:13:32I don't know if I would or not.
00:13:34I mean- I wouldn't.
00:13:35I just wonder what the underlying story is here.
00:13:40Kendo stick matched him against things, and they are whacking away.
00:13:44He whacked on Hack, and he did it again.
00:13:46Right to the cap.
00:13:47One, two, three.
00:13:48Take him off his feet.
00:13:49One, two, three.
00:13:50And he's dropped the Kendo stick.
00:13:52One, two, three.
00:13:54Chasity just berating the referee here.
00:13:57One, two, three.
00:14:01It's gotta hurt.
00:14:02I imagine it does.
00:14:04Uh-oh.
00:14:05Waiting there having a guy the size of Kendo Windham whacking you with a stick isn't my idea of a Monday night.
00:14:10Standing over beneath of you, he was trying to get to the rope.
00:14:13Hello?
00:14:15What do you say, Hack?
00:14:16What do you say?
00:14:17The lady not only has a skirt, but has a Kendo stick as well.
00:14:23I like that, didn't you?
00:14:27I like somebody else getting hit rather than me.
00:14:30Hack's trying to get away from Kendo Windham who's coming with the offense.
00:14:33Hack though stopped him in his tracks with a boot to the midsection.
00:14:36Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we are going to hear in this program from Sting.
00:14:40We're gonna be checking the Raptors, we're gonna be checking the backstage area periodically during the telecast
00:14:45to find out when he'll make an appearance, where he'll be coming from, but most importantly what Sting has to say.
00:14:51Now remember when we saw him a week ago in Toronto, it was almost as if out of nowhere he appeared with the white face paint.
00:14:59We've been talking about that a lot.
00:15:01Can you read anything into that, that he did not have the red and the black and he had the white and the black on?
00:15:04Well like I said last week, you know when he came out before and he had his blonde burr haircut,
00:15:09he had the red, white and blue paint and the yellow, he was a different Sting.
00:15:12Then when he changed and had the black hair and then turned his face to white,
00:15:17that horrible, sad look that came across his face, you knew there was something going on inside this man.
00:15:23Then when he had the red and black, now he's back to the black and white.
00:15:26I can't make heads or tails of it, but I know with that black and white, he's extremely dangerous.
00:15:31Kendall Windham to the midsection, and it's sweet, a neck breaker on Hack.
00:15:35Cassidy is wielding that Kendo stick of her own as she works her way towards the inner side corner here.
00:15:41The fact that she came in, watch out, we gotta cover one, two, she came in and whacked Kendall Windham with it.
00:15:47It's just the, within the Hack's rules.
00:15:53Matter of fact, she's got them both, she's got both Kendo sticks right now.
00:15:56So she has basically turned this back into a regular Hack rules match and neutralized the use of that Kendo stick.
00:16:02Hack's taking over now.
00:16:04Thought he was, he had him going there for a minute but he lost his concentration.
00:16:10Or you lost yours, good call there, Brain.
00:16:12Well, when you see Chassidy running by you with that little mini skirt, we can't help it.
00:16:16We can't help it.
00:16:17Fans?
00:16:18We're guys.
00:16:19Back body drop.
00:16:21Especially now that we're right down here close to him.
00:16:23And here comes Hack down the floor near Chassidy.
00:16:26Hack who made his debut on February 1st on this program.
00:16:31One of the toughest you can find, don't look over towards us here.
00:16:34There you go, back in the ring he goes.
00:16:36Stay there.
00:16:37Uh-oh.
00:16:38Kendall Windham, good execution of a guillotine leg drop on the back of the head.
00:16:41Kendall Windham is impressive.
00:16:45It's a big man.
00:16:46Boom, boom.
00:16:49He rocks Hack back in the corner and we've been rocked by the news of Goldberg and
00:16:55Nash coming up at Spring Stampede this coming Sunday.
00:17:00One on one, no title on the line.
00:17:03This is personal between these two superior athletes.
00:17:06Runs over.
00:17:07Runs over.
00:17:08And neither one of those men, Shivani took a back step.
00:17:10They were ready to go tonight.
00:17:11Face to face, nose to nose.
00:17:13Here comes Windham.
00:17:14Stomping after Chassidy.
00:17:17Hey, leave the goal alone.
00:17:18And he paid for it that time.
00:17:21Because Hack dropped down and nailed him with a left-handed lariat.
00:17:25You know, I like ones.
00:17:26She's a looker.
00:17:33Yes, she is.
00:17:36Here's a roll up.
00:17:37One, two, and he almost beat him that time.
00:17:40You know, we're talking about Goldberg and Nash and the match coming up.
00:17:44At Spring Stampede, what a history.
00:17:46Here's another roll up.
00:17:47One, two.
00:17:48I'll get to that in a moment, fans.
00:17:49But right now, these guys very close to wins here.
00:17:52As Hack puts him out, he goes down as well.
00:17:55Not only at Starrcade did Goldberg suffer his first defeat, his only defeat, at the hands of Nash.
00:18:02But remember, when Nash came out and literally handed the title over.
00:18:06Yeah, I remember that.
00:18:08The same night that Goldberg was tied up with the police in Atlanta, Georgia.
00:18:12All applaud of the NW.
00:18:13It was smart thinking by the Wolfpack.
00:18:15It worked.
00:18:16Well, they haven't made too many mistakes.
00:18:18There's no doubt about that.
00:18:21I don't think Kendall Windham's gonna get up from that.
00:18:24And if he does, I'll be amazed.
00:18:25He rolls over.
00:18:26He got whacked in the head.
00:18:28That was a pretty good swing by Hack that time.
00:18:31In a Russian leg sweep.
00:18:36Kendo stick across the throat.
00:18:37He'll pin him.
00:18:39You're right, Tony.
00:18:40He wasn't gonna get up after that.
00:18:43Now all of that was just garnish on top level because once he whacked him on the noggin with that Kendo stick, it was all she wrote.
00:18:50Hack proves and I'm sure is proving to Bam Bam Bigelow that he's more than ready for this coming Sunday at Spring Stand 2.
00:19:00An Roman Ivory.
00:19:01He's gonna become the man.
00:19:03It takes time to pump.
00:19:04And a single fighter has been freezing.
00:19:05The monster has moved in.
00:19:06The monster has moved to Ming.
00:19:09The monster has moved to Ming.
00:19:28You can't hurt this man.
00:19:34The monster Ming is on the loose.
00:19:38You don't know when the man's gonna strike.
00:19:42What a wild sandwich that man is.
00:19:45The body's all over the place.
00:19:49You never know when or when a wild man is gonna strike.
00:20:08What do you want?
00:20:09I didn't say anything for you.
00:20:10Aren't you wanna talk to him?
00:20:11What the hell is this?
00:20:12Bingo.
00:20:13Hey, big man.
00:20:14The champ needs to see you, man.
00:20:15Real quick.
00:20:16Yeah, Flair.
00:20:17What do you want?
00:20:18What for?
00:20:19I didn't say anything for you.
00:20:20Aren't you wanna talk to him?
00:20:21What the hell is this?
00:20:22Bingo.
00:20:23Hey, big man.
00:20:24The champ needs to see you, man.
00:20:26Real quick.
00:20:27What for?
00:20:28Ah, it's important.
00:20:29I mean, he just said, get big Nash down here.
00:20:30I need to see him.
00:20:31Like, pronto.
00:20:32He's the boss, you know?
00:20:33He's, like, the fifth person, man that's come up to me, I'm like, more popular than when
00:20:44it's my senior city moments, man.
00:20:57Yeah, well, that's the case.
00:21:02Okay, on the way now?
00:21:05Yeah, I'll be there.
00:21:06Oh, man, he's all over me, okay?
00:21:07I'll be there.
00:21:08Okay, good.
00:21:09That works.
00:21:09Can I have a couple golfers on this one?
00:21:10Yeah, I'm on the way.
00:21:11Okay, good.
00:21:12All right.
00:21:12Good.
00:21:25A blockbuster laid down to us at the beginning of this program.
00:21:29Goldberg and Kevin Nash, remember when they first met?
00:21:32Yeah, Nash does have a victory over Goldberg.
00:21:35Some fans may say it's Tim because of Scott Hall and the Taser Gun, but the fact is,
00:21:40he did beat Goldberg, and Goldberg is looking for more than revenge because this
00:21:45time, unlike Starcade, no title is on the line this Sunday.
00:21:49And Goldberg's gonna make it personal.
00:21:52The man that he's like Goldberg, you're not kidding, he's a very proud man.
00:21:57Don't ever want to count out Kevin Nash.
00:21:59The biggest and the best big man in sports today.
00:22:04Kevin Nash proved time and time again, not only you see the biggest man in our sports
00:22:09and one of the toughest, but he fears no man.
00:22:12Not many people, it's not the slight of any other wrestlers, not many people will walk down
00:22:17when Goldberg is picking at random an opponent and saying, hey, I want you.
00:22:21You know, many fans may have thought that Nash had maybe just won the match,
00:22:26starcated, just slid away for Goldberg.
00:22:27I think he proved right there that was not the case.
00:22:30Now, my question is to you, what plan is Kevin Nash gonna have come this Sunday
00:22:36night and to come and watch it, hey, we got to step out.
00:22:39Oh, yeah, it's all about them sandy beaches.
00:22:41It must be my birthday because they got me back on TV.
00:22:45But yo, yo, yo, let me speak on this.
00:22:47Orale!
00:22:49Arriba la raza!
00:22:53Yo, you know those lame strawberries, be talking about that for life, but K-Dog,
00:22:57yo sigo siendo un vato loco forever.
00:23:01But more importantly than all that, Las Vegas and not David Penzer,
00:23:05it's Bowdy Bowdy then.
00:23:07Aw, yeah.
00:23:09Well, it's Conan's birthday.
00:23:11He doesn't like David, what else there?
00:23:12He doesn't like David Penzer, what else is going on with Conan?
00:23:15To me, that's a good enough birthday present.
00:23:16If it's your birthday and Penzer leaves the ring, and you don't have to look at him
00:23:19anymore, that's a heck of a present.
00:23:20Got his jockey shorts sticking out of his fatigues as well, but here we go.
00:23:24Who, Penzer?
00:23:24No, Conan, look in the ring.
00:23:27As a matter of fact, look on your monitor.
00:23:28Do you notice something?
00:23:29Do you notice the band of blue there?
00:23:31There's a TV set here.
00:23:33It's a monitor, it's not a TV set.
00:23:35No, a monitor sits in the hall and tells you to get back into the room.
00:23:38Arm whip takedown, Liz Mark Jr. and K-Dog, and of course, Disco Inferno,
00:23:43member of that Wolf Pack.
00:23:45And here's the roll-up here, one, two, and I think there's so many different ways
00:23:51you can get somebody angry.
00:23:52You can attack him from behind.
00:23:54You can say something bad to him.
00:23:55You can do something to one of their friends or their girlfriends more.
00:24:00But for Conan, all the effort he put in that music video for Disco Inferno to make a farce
00:24:06of it to show him up really is the reason the crux behind this match coming up at Spring
00:24:11Stampede this Sunday.
00:24:11How come he didn't make a video of Disco Inferno?
00:24:15They did, they did.
00:24:16You saw the video, he made his own video.
00:24:17I know, but before that, this man feels offended.
00:24:20He slighted Disco Inferno.
00:24:21You know, these music videos, you can't just do them in like, in three hours.
00:24:25You have to spend like weeks at a time.
00:24:27Would you want to spend a week with a Disco Inferno?
00:24:30But Disco Inferno's video, you can do in about a half hour.
00:24:33About 20 minutes, probably.
00:24:34He's that good.
00:24:38Cartwheel, backflip, spin wheel kick.
00:24:43What will Sting's message be?
00:24:44Here's a cover, one, two.
00:24:46Tonight, when Sting makes a dramatic appearance, not only makes an appearance,
00:24:50gives the world a message.
00:24:54What could that be?
00:24:55I don't know.
00:24:55I mean, you got the Stooges.
00:24:57Well, Tanay's not here.
00:24:59I miss him.
00:25:00You miss Tanay?
00:25:01Well, now I just have to pick on you.
00:25:02Pick on Wendy Turnbuckle here, don't pick on me, leave me alone.
00:25:07We're a team here, you and me, you understand?
00:25:10We are a team.
00:25:11We gotta start thinking alike, there is no I in team.
00:25:14There is in my team.
00:25:16Dropkick.
00:25:18In a good move, using the middle rough as a springboard, and down goes K-Dawg.
00:25:25Do you have any luck getting Vegas?
00:25:27Luck getting here to cover, one, two.
00:25:29I just got in this morning, gonna leave tonight.
00:25:32I'm not gonna spend any time here at all, actually.
00:25:34I'm kind of a busy man, unlike you.
00:25:36I'm very busy.
00:25:37I was up till 6 a.m. this morning.
00:25:40Oh, you were?
00:25:41Mm-hmm.
00:25:42You know, you and Tanay, Zabisco, none of you guys are busy.
00:25:45I'm the only one of you, I'm the only one that really puts any effort into the office.
00:25:48You guys do your show and you go home.
00:25:49So don't tell me you're busy.
00:25:50I didn't say I was busy doing wrestling work, I was busy doing my stuff.
00:25:55You were busy doing nothing, hitting the ropes.
00:25:58Here comes K-Dawg, ducky low, Liz Mark, Liz Mark, time again.
00:26:01That time in the midsection, he'll make a cover, one, two.
00:26:05Two.
00:26:06They're like the referees with new stripes on and everything.
00:26:10Never pay any attention to them.
00:26:13You paid attention to the referee a lot when you were a manager.
00:26:16I had to, I had to instruct him.
00:26:21Do it.
00:26:21To the ropes, to the far side, fans loving that here in Las Vegas.
00:26:26We're on the strip with the glorious MGM Grand Garden Arena.
00:26:30What do you mean I have nothing to do?
00:26:33I was up till 6 a.m. in an Easter egg hunt.
00:26:35You went to an Easter egg hunt?
00:26:37Well, I had one.
00:26:38At 6 a.m.
00:26:39Till 6 a.m.
00:26:40Till 6 a.m.
00:26:41Who was all in that Easter egg hunt?
00:26:42Well, I can't find you, but there's two dozen eggs still missing.
00:26:44And watch out.
00:26:46They're out in front of us now.
00:26:48Get away.
00:26:50Double axe handle.
00:26:51Down low.
00:26:54On to the safety rail that time, K-Dawg and Liz Mark.
00:26:57Liz Mark's wrestling here with a purpose.
00:27:00You know, we have had, as you know, fans, many luchadors throughout the years here
00:27:05in WCW with a run of success.
00:27:08Conan comes to mind, Juventud Guerrero, Rey Mysterio Jr.
00:27:11But Liz Mark has not been able to win a title, so he feels that he's got to prove
00:27:15something here against Conan.
00:27:17Well, I think everybody here at WCW realizes they're going to have to prove
00:27:20something to the fans, to Ric Flair, Board of Directors.
00:27:24There's so much talent here at WCW, more than I've ever seen before.
00:27:27In my life.
00:27:30The Irish whip to the far side.
00:27:32Liz Mark ran him over that time.
00:27:33Conan goes off his feet once again.
00:27:36Well, we talked about the two matches.
00:27:38Here's a cover again.
00:27:38One, two.
00:27:39That we have coming up in the semifinals of the U.S. title tournament.
00:27:44We also have tonight a World Tag Team title match for you here on this program live,
00:27:49where the new champs Rey Mysterio Jr. Kidman will face Raven and Perry Sander.
00:27:56How about that?
00:27:57That's coming up later on.
00:27:58Liz Mark missed, and we have a battle royal to determine who's going to be in charge
00:28:04of the NWO black and white.
00:28:06That is Austin.
00:28:06What will he have to say to the world here tonight live on Monday Nitro?
00:28:12K-Dawg's getting him fired up here, Brain.
00:28:14Well, he knows how to do it, too.
00:28:16This man's a very tough wrestler from south of the border.
00:28:18And what a reputation he has as a street fighter.
00:28:21Look at this.
00:28:22Just spun right around.
00:28:24Got a ladder.
00:28:24Whoa.
00:28:25Cross it.
00:28:25One.
00:28:26Other way.
00:28:26Liz Mark.
00:28:27Almost with an upset there.
00:28:33What a move.
00:28:34Gut wrench takeover.
00:28:35One, two, hook the leg.
00:28:36And that time, Conan almost came away with a win.
00:28:39It was a great move.
00:28:41Good commentary.
00:28:42It was a great move.
00:28:43Very good.
00:28:44Into the ropes.
00:28:46Up on top.
00:28:47Back kick for the midsection.
00:28:49And hit first.
00:28:51Goes Liz Mark.
00:28:52Well, you know, if Tane was here, he'd tell you what that move was,
00:28:54but you couldn't spell it or read it.
00:28:55Well, I'm sure Tane's watching, taking notes.
00:29:00Nah, it's too late.
00:29:01He's in bed.
00:29:02And the Tequila Sunrise.
00:29:04The submission hook.
00:29:05He's gonna tap out.
00:29:06He tapped out almost immediately right there.
00:29:08Orale.
00:29:14Yeah, baby.
00:29:28That's it.
00:29:28Bye.
00:29:29Arn.
00:29:30Is he coming?
00:29:31Yeah.
00:29:31When?
00:29:32He's just right behind me.
00:29:33Where is he?
00:29:34I told you he's coming.
00:29:35He's right behind me.
00:29:37Arn.
00:29:37He couldn't have been too...
00:29:38Didn't he get it?
00:29:39Look at this.
00:29:39Yeah.
00:29:40I told you.
00:29:41Hey, hey, hey, big man.
00:29:43Bingo, sir.
00:29:43How are you?
00:29:44What's up?
00:29:45Come on in, bro.
00:29:45You want to see me?
00:29:46Please.
00:29:47It's obvious that we don't live in a perfect world.
00:30:00But you're looking at a perfect body.
00:30:03You're looking at a genetic freak.
00:30:10Oh boy.
00:30:13Big pop.
00:30:14Big pop of grump.
00:30:16Good lit to hook-up.
00:30:17Paul, do you hear me?
00:30:19All right.
00:30:19Go on.
00:30:23Two.
00:30:24λ
Έλ dot com.
00:30:31Great trip.
00:30:32Who would've ever called this?
00:30:33Ooh.
00:30:34Oh.
00:30:36Viva, Las Vegas.
00:30:38Wingux slash.
00:30:39And I'm ready to stay out on my stay a little longer. Hey, got wings all the way. Darren McCarty is my main man. You guys take them all the way.
00:30:45You don't understand I will call you back. What's up T? What's up with that?
00:30:51I'll just tell you some business. What would you possibly have to talk with him about?
00:30:56He's the president. He's trying to get some more money. Don't worry about it. Look good man. Take care.
00:31:01It's business huh?
00:31:03Yep.
00:31:05Better be.
00:31:11So let me get this right. You got personalized tags that say what on it, bro?
00:31:16For flair. So?
00:31:18You like the biggest flair mark we've planted or what?
00:31:21Kevin, I gotta go.
00:31:23What's your deal?
00:31:25No, what's your deal? What are you doing talking to this jabronomy? What do you have in common with this guy?
00:31:31Nah, just in case you had your match tonight to make sure we had him in our pocket.
00:31:35Okay. Okay.
00:31:37Well then what gives with no return calls you don't answer the phone? Are we on the same team? What's the deal here?
00:31:44I mean, you know, you're not going to beat me up like an Atlanta are you?
00:31:47Well make it off that girl thing, brother. You know we get those girls a dime a dozen. You keep harping on the same old thing, man.
00:31:53You know the girl thing, man. It's a swerve. It's your swerve. I'm following the lead, man. Now I want to know. We're on the same team.
00:32:01Yeah, we're on the same team. What would make you think we're not on the same team?
00:32:04Well, your attitude. Your attitude for one. You're completely different than when we first jumped into this thing together.
00:32:09I'm just tired of your dance off. I'm just tired. I'll get with you later.
00:32:13All right. Let's regroup, man. All right. I like that. Yeah.
00:32:26Evening. And it is time, as we do usually on Monday nights, to hold court.
00:32:31Please welcome, ladies and gentlemen, the chairman of the board, the president of World Championship Wrestling,
00:32:39and 14th time WCW Heavyweight title holder, the one and only Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
00:32:53It's very apparent to me, Brady, and I'm sure it is to you, at least I hope it is.
00:32:58It's something about leadership in this country that causes fans to turn against you.
00:33:05The man's in charge, and immediately fans, we are smattering the boos from Ric Flair.
00:33:12When you've got big decisions to make, when you make decisions-
00:33:15First thing you do, you get that fixed, you might have fallen down.
00:33:19Come on, off the top.
00:33:21And fans soon do not be with you as usual.
00:33:28I know what it is.
00:33:29It's very simple.
00:33:30Fans and the whole human race are jealous of power.
00:33:34They don't like a person to be in charge.
00:33:36Somebody's gotta be in charge, though.
00:33:37That's right, but they have to learn to understand it.
00:33:39This man right there, 14 times heavyweight champion of the world, is in charge.
00:33:45Man, does he look good, too.
00:33:47Look at that sport cup.
00:33:50And Gene, well, you look good, too.
00:33:52It's all yours.
00:33:53My, my, my.
00:33:54What a difference a few weeks makes, Mr. President.
00:33:57And do you ever get the impression that maybe things are getting a little out of control?
00:34:02All of a sudden, Goldberg and Nash put together a match for Spring Stampede this coming Sunday night.
00:34:08Did you have anything to do with it?
00:34:10Mean, Gene, would you not say that this epitomizes styling and profiling and you keep your mouth shut, fat boy?
00:34:23Now, as far as Goldberg goes, I love it when you call him out here.
00:34:31I love it when you call him the man.
00:34:33The bottom line is, he is a former champion wanting to be where I am.
00:34:40And Kevin Nash, you, you made yourself look good tonight because you are big.
00:34:47You are big, sexy, and calling on Goldberg, making the match for Spring Stampede.
00:34:53I like it.
00:34:54I like it so much that tonight, because I'm feeling, whoo, real good about myself.
00:35:00And as every woman in this building will tell you, looking as only I can look, Mean Gene.
00:35:12Mean Gene, I'm going to take the world title match away from Spring Stampede,
00:35:20and I'm going to wrestle Hogan here tonight for the world title.
00:35:25My God, now wait a minute.
00:35:27You heard it.
00:35:29Nate Shabbat, the world champion, is going to wrestle Hogan.
00:35:36Very interesting.
00:35:41You may want to get your tights on right now.
00:35:43You know something, Ric Flair, me and all those NW lights are tired of this stinking belt, brother.
00:36:01So we ain't got no problem with beating your rear end in Las Vegas, Nevada tonight, brother.
00:36:07Right in the center.
00:36:10Hogan, let me tell you something.
00:36:13As fast, as fast as I made it, I might take it away.
00:36:18Don't run out here.
00:36:19You touch me before match time, there ain't gonna be a match.
00:36:23Ric Flair, I'm not gonna put one hand on you until you have a chance to go in the back, gear up in that pretty pink set of boots you got hidden back there.
00:36:36Because when you come out in this ring, that belt's gonna be mine, and I'm gonna show all these NW lights who is the most powerful man in wrestling today.
00:36:48That beat Hollywood for life.
00:36:55I'm telling you, you touch me, there ain't gonna be a match.
00:37:00Please conduct this interview, because you're the man, Mean Gene.
00:37:07Like I said, because I'm the boss, I'm gonna yank the match for Spring Stampede.
00:37:13I'm gonna wrestle you for this tonight, because one of us needs to know, one of us, one of us needs to know who the man is.
00:37:23And I'm saying it's me.
00:37:24Well, you know, Ric Flair, I sure hope when you come out of back tonight to put that belt on the line for the last time,
00:37:34you're that fired up, brother, because that belt was made for me.
00:37:39That belt was earned by me.
00:37:41And when I leave Las Vegas tonight with a wolf pack in the house, brother, I'm gonna leave with my world heavyweight title.
00:37:53Done deal.
00:37:54Because I'll tell you what, this will be the last time I ever hear the name Hogan ahead of mine again.
00:38:06That's right, because after tonight, I'll never give you another title shot, because I'll be the champ.
00:38:13All right, it's a feet of complaint, gentlemen.
00:38:16Can we assume the two of you tonight here in this ring, and that title is on the line, President?
00:38:21The match is made.
00:38:23This is on the line.
00:38:25May the-
00:38:27What the hell's going on?
00:38:29Somebody's gonna join the party here.
00:38:32What a party.
00:38:34What's going on here?
00:38:42How is he involved in this?
00:38:46I can't answer that.
00:38:49I mean, we've made Hogan and Flair for tonight.
00:38:52For the world title, and Paige, unexpectedly, music and all, comes strutting out here.
00:39:03Hogan?
00:39:05Flair?
00:39:07Nice chair shot.
00:39:08Now, it's no secret that I got no love lost for either you or you.
00:39:17But there's also no secret that this is a main event match worthy of the MGM Grand.
00:39:28Now, the only thing that I think would make it better, Mr. President, is if you make it a three-way damn.
00:39:43Oh, you hear what he's asking you, Ric Flair?
00:39:46You mean you wanna wrestle against me for the world title while I gotta wrestle him for the world title, which means I gotta kick both your asses?
00:40:03Nah.
00:40:04I'm so sick of hearing you, and you cry about the belt.
00:40:09I just want you to put it up with all three of us.
00:40:12Hey, well, you know the way I, hold on, brother.
00:40:15The way I feel about this whole thing, I'll get in that corner, and you two underlings get in that corner, and I'll beat both of you.
00:40:24And then I'll take the belt.
00:40:26Hogan, stay focused.
00:40:31This is you or me.
00:40:33I'm the champion.
00:40:34You do what I tell you to do.
00:40:36And tonight, we're resolving a life.
00:40:39You know that music?
00:40:42In our world.
00:40:43This thing is out of control.
00:40:45That's Goldberg's music.
00:40:47What's he want?
00:40:49What's he got in mind?
00:40:51Here he comes.
00:40:56He's already stormed to the ring.
00:40:58Watch tonight.
00:40:59And Arne Anderson backstage, watching on.
00:41:07I guess I didn't make myself clear.
00:41:11There's a heavyweight match, I'm in the dance.
00:41:17And I guess, I didn't make myself clear either.
00:41:30I'm the boss, and I says what goes on around here.
00:41:34And you're not doing nothing tonight.
00:41:37Hey, hey, hey.
00:41:38He just did something.
00:41:39He's got the Prez by LePep.
00:41:41That's right.
00:41:44That's right.
00:41:45That's right.
00:41:46I'm in the dance.
00:41:49You're in a lot of trouble now, brother.
00:41:52You're in a lot of trouble.
00:41:54You're in a lot of trouble.
00:41:56You're in a lot of trouble.
00:41:57You shut up, kid.
00:41:58You're in a lot of trouble.
00:41:59Get my clothes, get my belt.
00:42:03I'll see all of them.
00:42:05Flair City, see all of you.
00:42:09We've got four men.
00:42:11Go tonight.
00:42:12All right.
00:42:13Tony, let me wrap it up from here.
00:42:14Go ahead, G.
00:42:15As far as I know, we have got a four-way dance tonight.
00:42:18That will be your main event here on Nitro, live from Las Vegas.
00:42:23It is a done deal.
00:42:25And it's for the world title.
00:42:27Goldberg, Hogan, DDP, and Ric Flair, the world champion.
00:42:34All I can say is done.
00:42:37It is done.
00:42:38It is done.
00:42:39Can you believe it, fans?
00:42:41It will pass.
00:42:42It be in the house.
00:42:43And the way it stands, as you know.
00:42:44I'm gonna make sure of that, Jack.
00:42:47As Hogan continues to talk towards.
00:42:49You're in big trouble, Goldberg.
00:42:51You're in big trouble.
00:42:52You're a marked man.
00:42:54You're in big trouble.
00:42:59Hogan and Goldberg continue to have your edge on the other side here.
00:43:02As you know about a four-quarter match, fans, you can literally lose.
00:43:08Flair can lose the world title and not even be involved in the pinfall.
00:43:12You're the submission hold.
00:43:13That's the way it is.
00:43:14The man who scores the submission, the man who scores the pinfall,
00:43:17even though he may not score it over the champion, can become the world champ.
00:43:22That's all is going to happen here tonight, Brain.
00:43:25Watch this.
00:43:26Hogan and Goldberg are gonna go at it right on the floor right now.
00:43:29Flair's totally beside himself.
00:43:31Diamond Dallas wants a piece of everybody.
00:43:33Don't touch that clicker.
00:43:35We're gonna have it now.
00:43:42You take care of D.F.
00:43:44You take care of D.F.
00:43:46You take care of D.F.
00:43:47And not only thing, you and me, Disney World should be.
00:43:50You got it.
00:43:51No problem with that.
00:43:52You got it.
00:43:53You're on.
00:43:54They played no deal there, haven't they?
00:43:57There's no doubt about that.
00:43:59We heard it.
00:44:00The world heard it.
00:44:02The world has heard it.
00:44:03Ric Flair, Diamond Dallas Page, Goldberg and Hollywood Hogan in a four-quarter match for
00:44:08the world title later on tonight on this telecast.
00:44:12And you heard that's a monumental deal made right there with Hogan and Goldberg.
00:44:17Well, what I don't understand, Tony, here's Flair, the heavyweight champion of the world,
00:44:20president of WCW, got all the power in the world.
00:44:23He's letting himself get involved in something like this, getting his back pushed against
00:44:27the wall for his title, something he's worked his whole life for, to become 14 times heavyweight
00:44:33champion of the world.
00:44:34And Las Vegas will never be the same after tonight.
00:44:36Well, I tell you, Goldberg, by picking the man up on the lapels and shoving him down,
00:44:40kind of lured him into it, he appealed to Flair's most tentative nature.
00:44:45And that, of course, is the ego.
00:44:49What could this be now?
00:44:51That's the Wolfpack music.
00:44:52I know what it is, it's not named that tune.
00:44:57Is this on your format?
00:44:59Nothing's on my format.
00:45:06We're going to the next match.
00:45:08It's a double match segment.
00:45:11Excitement reigns.
00:45:13It's a new night show, Tony.
00:45:15It's a new night.
00:45:16Let's stay on all night.
00:45:17Now I gotta fight those two dozen eggs.
00:45:19F-W-O.
00:45:24And I'll stay up for a while.
00:45:25It's like he's got about five dozen eggs in that arm right there.
00:45:31One of the most magnificent bodies, not only in professional wrestling, but in the entire sports world.
00:45:37And not only that, he knows it, brain.
00:45:40And everybody else knows it, like him or not, you can sit in the top seats in ringside.
00:45:45There's no doubt about it, this man probably has the greatest physique in all sports today.
00:45:50How do you like being at ringside?
00:45:52Cozy down here, waving all the fans.
00:45:55Well, I've never really pictured you and I being cozy, but it is nice down here because you're close to the action.
00:46:01You can hear them say things to each other.
00:46:03You can hear them sweat.
00:46:04You almost said you can hear them sweat.
00:46:06Swear.
00:46:07Swear.
00:46:08I like that.
00:46:09Yeah.
00:46:10One guy gets the other guy mad or this guy gets mad.
00:46:12When this guy gets this guy, it's just great.
00:46:14It's just great action.
00:46:15Threatening poor David Spencer.
00:46:21Why not?
00:46:22Cut the music.
00:46:28As I look at all you desert-dwelling,
00:46:36genetic deficient scumbags.
00:46:45Tonight I say you got somebody to cheer for.
00:46:48You got the biggest white trash in WCW here.
00:46:52And I'm talking about Diamond Dallas trash.
00:47:00Now last week on Nitro, Diamond Dallas page came out here.
00:47:05He said two statements and he told two lies.
00:47:10One, that he wanted revenge against me.
00:47:14Well, Diamond Dallas trash, if you wanted revenge against me, why didn't you get in a U.S. tag tournament for the U.S. belt and then we would have met in the finals?
00:47:24Because I gotta question your sincerity, boy.
00:47:31Now the other lie he told was when I beat him, I would get his wife for 30 days and 30 nights.
00:47:39Now Diamond Dallas page, even though you didn't agree with it, you had seven days by the time I made that statement, by the time we wrestle to disagree and that will hold up in a court of law.
00:47:58But you see, right now that's neither here nor there because all my hooches are on my roller coaster of love.
00:48:07And I don't have 30 days and 30 nights for your wife.
00:48:13I don't have 30 days and 30 nights to show you why all the hooches say there's nothing finer than Scott Steiner.
00:48:24I don't have 30 days and 30 nights to show your wife what a physical phenomenon I really am.
00:48:35But all I need is one night to have your wife call me for the rest of her life, the Big Bad Booty Daddy.
00:48:51So Diamond Dallas Page, we all gotta make sacrifices in our life.
00:48:56And this one goes like this.
00:48:59If you want revenge against me, you're gonna have to give up your wife for one night.
00:49:06And you, my friend, will be nothing more than a memory.
00:49:10So this goes to all my freaks out there.
00:49:13Big Papa Pump, meet your hookup.
00:49:15Holler if you hear me.
00:49:17He is going to have to be the best.
00:49:25He is going to have to face to all of that.
00:49:27The purpose of his interview with DDP.
00:49:30He must face Ming in a semifinal match in the US Heavyweight Title Tournament.
00:49:38Right now.
00:49:40And facing a man like Ming, maybe those hooches will be looking for somebody else to talk to tonight.
00:49:45Steiner may not make it.
00:49:50Phenomenal in all speech.
00:49:53And Ming comes to the ring.
00:49:55Anybody refer to you as Moody Daddy?
00:49:58No, but we can start a new president right here if you want.
00:50:03Okay.
00:50:05You're the man.
00:50:06No, you know, you're the man.
00:50:07No, you're the man.
00:50:08I'm not talking trash about you.
00:50:09You're the man.
00:50:10Get up, Baron.
00:50:11Oh, shut the hell up.
00:50:12Shut up.
00:50:13Get up, Baron.
00:50:14When I had to talk trash about, what are you running for?
00:50:15I went to get security.
00:50:16What happened?
00:50:17You're scared of yourself.
00:50:18And I'm being honest with you, that kind of surprised me.
00:50:23Haven't we always said kind things about Big Papa Punk?
00:50:26Tony, you're beginning to smell funny.
00:50:28You just noticed that.
00:50:29Sound that bell.
00:50:30Here we go.
00:50:31The winner of this match will face the winner, Chris Jericho and Booker T for
00:50:36the US Championship coming up at Spring Stampede.
00:50:40Well, Ming is no pushover.
00:50:45Maybe one of the toughest men walking the face of this earth.
00:50:50And so is Scott Steiner, this should be great.
00:50:53It's gonna be great.
00:50:54It's gonna be great.
00:50:55It's been a very interesting tournament for the new United States Champion.
00:51:00The man who wins this thing is gonna survive.
00:51:02And Scott Steiner is winning for the next, and Eagle ΡΠΊΠ°Π·Π°ΡΡ.
00:51:07Really what?
00:51:11The man who wins this thing is gonna survive, and Scott Steiner, look at this.
00:51:16Forearm shivers into the head, and Ming didn't face it, he almost liked it.
00:51:20Look at that, look at Ming.
00:51:24There's your hookup.
00:51:32Yeah, Steiner took the low road, he got out of that kick before he connected.
00:51:36As he drops down all the way to the floor here.
00:51:39And Ming says, holler if you hear me.
00:51:42Fans, as this match is going on, I've been told some stipulations about
00:51:47the upcoming four corner match.
00:51:51And I'm gonna have to give you these as I get them.
00:51:53As you know, it's gonna be Flair, Diamond Dallas, Paige,
00:51:58Goldberg, and Hollywood Hogan later tonight for the world title in a four corner match.
00:52:02I've now been handed the note that that one's gonna be a Texas Tornado rules match,
00:52:06which that means all four men will be in the ring basically at the same time.
00:52:10And you know what's at stake?
00:52:11Yes, yes, yes.
00:52:12The world's heavyweight championship.
00:52:14Flair is wrestling three men, basically.
00:52:17Well, Goldberg's wrestling three men.
00:52:19Yeah, but if Goldberg doesn't have to lose, what Flair's got to lose.
00:52:22Flair's got more to lose in this match than anyone.
00:52:24And Flair can lose it without being in the ring.
00:52:26That's right.
00:52:27How about that?
00:52:28You knew that, I said that a moment ago.
00:52:31I didn't hear you, you're sitting on my headset.
00:52:32Yeah, you were running to security.
00:52:35There's a standing sidekick executed by Ming.
00:52:38And Big Papa Puff smartly tries to slow down the momentum here of Ming.
00:52:45Ming don't know what a handshake means.
00:52:47Thinks you have food in it.
00:52:48In the corner, go ahead.
00:52:51Can you imagine if you had a list of people you didn't like?
00:52:54I have that list.
00:52:55Well, then you better call Ming, he'll help you out.
00:52:58I may just do that, belly to belly.
00:53:00Big Papa Puff, little show up move there.
00:53:05What remarkable biceps the man has.
00:53:07A very explosive nature as well.
00:53:11Look at this.
00:53:12Uh-oh, to the other side now.
00:53:17Good.
00:53:18I mean, you wonder if safety rails and if stairs and ring posts are gonna have much
00:53:24effect on this monster.
00:53:25Look at that.
00:53:26He absorbed the safety rail.
00:53:28Here comes Big Papa Puff again, gonna hit him head first to the steel steps.
00:53:32And he's still standing, Brain.
00:53:34You know, you said something a moment ago, maybe he's enjoying this beating.
00:53:39Maybe he really enjoys it to see just how tough Steiner is.
00:53:42They ran right over David Pinchy.
00:53:47They wiped out the announced position on the other side.
00:53:50Let's go.
00:53:51Better you than me, Dave.
00:53:52Get back in your chair, be a trooper.
00:53:55Inside they go.
00:53:56Big Papa Puff.
00:54:01Did not hurt the man, but he's sitting down hard that time.
00:54:05And an elbow.
00:54:06Here's a cover, couldn't end it now.
00:54:08No, sir.
00:54:10Now the intimidation of the referee, you know, you may not like it or agree with it,
00:54:14but it's worked for him.
00:54:15He has literally scared referees and Nikki calls his way.
00:54:19Well, didn't it work that way for Billy Martin and Vince Lombardi and Bobby Knight?
00:54:24They all intimidate the officials, and they seem to get breaks.
00:54:27Yeah, but no one threaten, none of those guys threaten to hit an official.
00:54:29You never know.
00:54:30I know.
00:54:31You don't know, you haven't been- You're trying to claim Vince Lombardi said he
00:54:34was gonna hit an official if he didn't call it his way?
00:54:36Well, he didn't say he was gonna hit an official.
00:54:38He was gonna put the boots to him, I think he said.
00:54:39Okay, here's a pick up and a back.
00:54:44Here's a cover, one, two.
00:54:48Foots on the rope.
00:54:49Thank you, good call, foots on the rope.
00:54:51Put the boots to him.
00:54:52Well, that's why I'm here.
00:54:53Is that-
00:54:54And me.
00:54:57You wanna be on the list?
00:54:58One, two, come on, make three.
00:55:00Being stretched out here.
00:55:01As you look in, the man that wins will face the either Booker T or Chris Jericho.
00:55:07That match still to come in this Jellicast, the world tag team title on the line in
00:55:12this Jellicast, the four corner Texas Tornado match with Flair, Goldberg, Hogan,
00:55:17and DDP still to come in this match, in this night, in this program here tonight.
00:55:22Live on TNT and Sting, when is he gonna make his appearance?
00:55:27That's still to come tonight on this program.
00:55:30Don't leave the couch.
00:55:34Leveled him.
00:55:35Ming went airborne that time, not necessarily a move that Ming uses many times.
00:55:40There's a lot of things this man can do.
00:55:42He used to be a sumo wrestler, you know.
00:55:44Yes, I do.
00:55:46He is all around one of the most feared men, and obviously, Papa Pump does not have
00:55:51that fear, and Ming is rocking the head of Scott Steiner.
00:55:54Scott Steiner's in trouble.
00:55:55He's got him wobbling.
00:55:57He's got back jumps.
00:55:58Steiner up against the ropes.
00:55:59Here comes Ming.
00:56:00I think Ming's about- He's going.
00:56:05He may be going with the tongue and death grip.
00:56:07No, he went for the Lariat again.
00:56:09And a drop kick from Ming.
00:56:13We're seeing a lot out of Ming tonight.
00:56:14Showing how versatile he really has cover one, two, hooking a far leg, only getting to two.
00:56:18Amazing drop kick off the top.
00:56:23For a guy Ming size?
00:56:25Besides Saltile, remember, when Ming's involved, there's only one tongue and
00:56:29death grip between you and a loss, and it could be coming up right now.
00:56:33Better Steiner than me.
00:56:35There it is.
00:56:38It's Steiner.
00:56:40Steiner.
00:56:40He had it figured out, he went to the ice, and then the low blow stunner.
00:56:51It's a good way, it's a nice call.
00:56:52One, two, three.
00:56:56He beat him, Ming was all tied up in the ropes, Steiner was all tied up in the ropes.
00:57:01And Steiner, Big Pum of Pum wins, and how about that?
00:57:06In the clutches of the target death grip, Big Pum of Pum advances now to Springstamp
00:57:13Heath this Sunday, and he'll await the winner of Jericho and Booker T later on here tonight.
00:57:18But Ming never had it on him real good, and he didn't have it on him that long.
00:57:23Steiner, let him, well here, I'll show you here.
00:57:26Why don't you show me, Brace?
00:57:28Okay, roll it, guys.
00:57:30Hello, am I on?
00:57:31Unfortunately, I'm testing.
00:57:34Steiner here showing how powerful this man is, takes Ming over the top.
00:57:39Now drops him, puts his feet on the ropes for the one, two, three.
00:57:43Didn't get caught, but it's okay with me.
00:57:47Here's your winner, Big Pum of Pum.
00:57:51Is that what you had to show us?
00:57:52I'm not in the truck, I'm working without a net, you know.
00:57:56A brand new Nitro, Scott Steiner will advance.
00:58:00A whole lot more to come, live in Las Vegas, and live only on TNT.
00:58:05Stay with us, fans.
00:58:07Cue the girls, and I'll tell you this, that we have Monday Nitro in Gainesville, Florida, home of the Gators, the O'Connell Center on Monday, April 19th.

00:58:50The Hive.

00:58:52Yes, look at the Charlotte Hornets of the NBA.
00:58:54They're home.
00:58:55The Hornets of the old Hudson, they.
00:58:58See Charlotte, you just don't play along with the program here today.
00:59:03Fans still to come tonight, Sting is gonna make a dramatic appearance.
00:59:07When will it be?
00:59:08Where will it be?
00:59:09What will he have to say?
00:59:10Plus, a four corner Texas Tornado match for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:59:14World champ Ric Flair, Goldberg, Hollywood Hogan, and Diamond Dallas Sage.
00:59:19Flair can lose a title and not even be in the ring.
00:59:24Is this my five count, Wendy?
00:59:26Is that what that is?
00:59:27Five, four, three.
00:59:29We'll have more after this timeout.
00:59:32We're having fun, aren't we?
00:59:33Count.
00:59:34He has lived high above the rafters for many, many months.
00:59:39His disappearance in WCW Mystery.
00:59:41His reappearance a week ago, a shocking statement.
00:59:45The fact that he was white and black on the face paint.
00:59:48Where is Sting?
00:59:49Where will he return?
00:59:51When will he return?
00:59:52And what will he have to say to the fans?
00:59:55We're looking up spotlights.
00:59:56Spotlights are high above.
00:59:57Hold on.
00:59:58There he is, Tony.
00:59:59There he is.
01:00:00There.
01:00:02Sorry about that.
01:00:04That's one of our rigors up top.
01:00:06And you're on TV and you're not getting paid for it.
01:00:10Sorry about that, fans.
01:00:11I was pretty pumped up for a minute there.
01:00:13That guy's supposed to be on the floor.
01:00:15He's hiding.
01:00:16Supposed to be at work.
01:00:17We'll have more of this nitro when we come back.
01:00:47I'm the president of the company now.
01:00:54Yeah, honey.
01:00:56A lot of tapas is last time I was in town.
01:00:59Yeah, that's the sweet they gave me.
01:01:01Unlimited expense account.
01:01:02I'm the man.
01:01:03Yeah, you can bring four or five more friends.
01:01:05It's going to be the greatest party.
01:01:06Yeah.

01:01:59Fans, we've got some exciting matches tonight,
01:02:01but coming up, a very special night.
01:02:03Let's take you back to last summer.
01:02:05We were all witness to a very, very heartbreaking moment.
01:02:08I've been coming down to the ring for almost 20 years now,
01:02:14just carrying a flag and a board,
01:02:17and I'm one of the guys that made this business what it is today.
01:02:21Just very recently, I went to the doctor,
01:02:24and I was diagnosed with cancer.
01:02:27God willing, I'll overcome this adversity.
01:02:32And God willing, I'll come back.
01:02:36I love you all very much.
01:02:39Please welcome back to World Champion Super Wrestling,
01:02:43Hacksaw, Jim Duggan!
01:02:48It's great to be back.
01:02:50Hello!
01:02:52You know, folks, a lot of people I'd like to thank,
01:02:54all the thousands of folks that took time and their money
01:02:57to send me cards and letters and email.
01:03:00I want to thank you for that.
01:03:03And now the big question everybody's been asking me,
01:03:05they said, Hacksaw, are you going to come back to the ring?
01:03:08Are you going to wrestle?
01:03:12I promise I will have more impact on this sport
01:03:15in the next few years than I've had in 20 before.
01:03:19I'm proud to be part of World Championship Wrestling
01:03:23because I've come face to face with fear,
01:03:26and I know it's in my heart.
01:03:28And I know if Hacksaw, Jim Duggan sets a goal,
01:03:31there's not a man on the face of the Earth that can keep me from it.
01:03:35USA!
01:03:36USA!
01:03:37USA!
01:03:38USA!
01:03:39USA!

01:03:42USA!
01:03:43USA!
01:03:44USA!
01:03:45USA!
01:03:46USA!
01:03:47It's just about time to answer that question,
01:03:50because in a few moments, here in the center of the ring,
01:03:53live in Las Vegas, Hacksaw, Jim Duggan,
01:03:56will make his courageous return to competition.
01:04:01And if you think about what Duggan has had to endure,
01:04:05and I know in the media, Daryl Strawberry, Eric Davis in baseball,
01:04:10recently Joe Torre had their bounce with cancer.
01:04:13It is not an easy comeback.
01:04:15It is one that takes courage, it takes a strong will, and it takes a never dying
01:04:20spirit.
01:04:21Duggan represents all of that, and I'm very proud to be sitting here and
01:04:27be a part of Duggan's return and listen to the fans' response.
01:04:32USA!
01:04:33USA!
01:04:34USA!
01:04:35USA!

01:04:39play with family.

01:04:54yeah!
01:04:58basketball!
01:04:59Hey!
01:05:01Hey!
01:05:02Nothing like it!
01:05:03Nothing like it!
01:05:04The kidney, one of his kidneys, and then undergoing treatment therapy.
01:05:10Duggan comes back, looks in great shape.
01:05:14A remarkable night.
01:05:18He says the reason he's back, the reason he's in that ring,
01:05:21is what he says is early detection.
01:05:24He's been doing a lot of work with the American Cancer Society.
01:05:27This is one tough man, Tony.
01:05:31So he's back now.
01:05:32We'll just see how he performs, if he can use the same tools.
01:05:40Well, his hand fits the two by four.
01:05:43Let's do it together, USA!
01:05:47USA!
01:05:49USA!
01:05:50USA!
01:05:51USA!
01:05:52USA!
01:05:53USA!
01:05:54USA!
01:05:55USA!
01:05:56USA!
01:05:57USA!
01:05:58USA!
01:05:59Here we go, Duggan.
01:06:06Wait a minute, here we go.
01:06:07Never been anything flashy about Duggan.
01:06:08I mean, you know what you get in the ring with him.
01:06:11You know exactly what he's gonna do.
01:06:13He's gonna try to pound in a submission, not a high flyer.
01:06:17No, he's just your blue collar guy, a lot of meat and a lot of potatoes.
01:06:23And quickly, Lennie Lane goes for an uppercut, tries to get the offense going his way.
01:06:28Ric Flair.
01:06:29Ric Flair.
01:06:30Look at this.
01:06:31Hollywood Hogan.
01:06:32Goldberg.
01:06:33Diamond down his face tonight.
01:06:35Takes a tornado for a match for the world title.
01:06:38Sting will make it look here tonight.
01:06:39World tag team title match tonight.
01:06:44Heading towards Spring Stampede, and Duggan has returned.
01:06:48What a memorable night this is.
01:06:50Big double X-hander.
01:06:51Can you imagine what he must feel inside a man who has loved this sport so much for
01:06:5620 years, thought he would never be in the ring again, thought he'd never be in front
01:06:59of the fans again.
01:07:00His first time back here in Las Vegas, Nevada, live on Nitro.
01:07:04The new Nitro.
01:07:06Can you imagine what's running through that man's heart and system right now, Tony?
01:07:10It's gonna be a rush of a tunnel ahead, and Lennie Lane hits the outside.
01:07:14Lane was wasting some time, and you know, that's to Duggan's advantage.
01:07:18Because first time back, you don't want to push it too hard.
01:07:21Lane walking on the outside.
01:07:23He's gonna bring Duggan with him now.
01:07:25Lennie Lane's gonna try to send him to the ring post.
01:07:35But it's Lennie Lane that crashes to the steel.
01:07:37Looks to me like Duggan hasn't missed his step.
01:07:39You're not coming over here, are you?
01:07:41Take a look, take a look.
01:07:42Bring it inside, next door.
01:07:46Bring it inside the ring.
01:07:47Okay.
01:07:49Segment nine of the first show, they're already at the table.
01:07:52We didn't think it would take that long.
01:07:57I thought we'd be in a gurney by now.
01:07:59Into the midsection, headbutt by Duggan.
01:08:02This table's pretty solid.
01:08:06This thing is a heck of a piece of furniture here.
01:08:10It looked nice in your home.
01:08:11It might.
01:08:14Steel reinforced and everything.
01:08:15Do you have any wheels on your house yet?
01:08:17Get off my back.
01:08:19Maybe I do.
01:08:20Get out of my way.
01:08:21Yeah, I know it is.
01:08:22I had the honeymoon salad last night.
01:08:25What's the honeymoon salad?
01:08:26Let us alone.
01:08:27Rim shot please.
01:08:32Down goes Lennie Lane.
01:08:33And Duggan looking strong in the center of the ring.
01:08:37He's in command of this match.
01:08:40Has been since the start.
01:08:42Hasn't lost a step.
01:08:44Since the start.
01:08:45Duggan runs over lane again.
01:08:52Since the start, go ahead, say it.
01:08:55I got him, baby.
01:08:56He's got him.
01:08:58Who?
01:08:58USA!
01:09:00Duggan from the start.
01:09:04Lennie starts that chant of USA and the fans respond in time.
01:09:09Former United States heavyweight champion.
01:09:11Size of applause on this guy.
01:09:13Not Lane, Duggan.
01:09:16You've used that line before.
01:09:17Well, I want the people, some people may have not seen him before.
01:09:20Maybe somebody just tuned in for the first time, just moved to this country.
01:09:23No.
01:09:25Full arm drag and twist.
01:09:26Down on, boy, I so much wanna run with that.
01:09:29We should run out of the building with that.
01:09:32I'm not going to.
01:09:34You wanna do this broadcast by yourself, is that what you're saying?
01:09:38Yeah.
01:09:39You do?
01:09:39Yeah.
01:09:40I got it, baby.
01:09:41Duggan picks up Lenny Lane and
01:09:49shot Jim Duggan.
01:09:52Executes a vertical suplex up and on top of, no, he doesn't want to pin him now.
01:09:56Not yet.
01:09:58Not yet, he says to the referee.
01:10:02Lane trying to get away, escape, but Duggan will pick him up to the other turnbuckle down.
01:10:07Well, I hope this don't backfire for Duggan, you know, he's overcome a lot.
01:10:11He has overcome a lot.
01:10:12You know, he promised to the fans that he will uphold the values that have made America strong,
01:10:17that he represents.
01:10:19Here's a pickup.
01:10:20One of his pendant moves, Brain, that big scoop, whirling slam of Duggan's.
01:10:26Duggan.
01:10:27Duggan.
01:10:29The old glory, knee drop, and it's over.
01:10:32Duggan returns to success.
01:10:35He has 1-0.
01:10:36Since his return, good call.
01:10:38Well, for a lot of you fans, it must be good to see that man back in action, back in the ring, and back with his 2-by-4.
01:10:47Can't deny what he represents.
01:10:54And it's time for a replay, Brain.
01:10:58Are you ready to call this one?
01:10:59I'm ready, Mr. Shivani.
01:11:01Duggan picks up his opponent lane, spins him in a circle, gets him good and dizzy, and then drops him right in the middle of the ring.
01:11:11Hits the rope, looks to me like he hasn't lost a step, tries that big knee into the chest.
01:11:16Lane's going no place.
01:11:18For the 1-2-3 count, your winner, his first time back, Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
01:11:26When we come back, the NWO black and white will battle for a battle royal.
01:11:32The winner will be the new leader of the black and the white, and we'll have it next on an all-new Nitro.
01:11:37Next.
