00:00:00make a difference. I like it, Medusa. Thank you very much for being on the team. All right,
00:00:05check it out. That's so good. What's up, big brother? You guys are rosy. What are you guys
00:00:13running? No, man, we just delivered your message. I didn't have no message. You guys are running
00:00:17your own show. What's the deal with that? We need to talk. No, no, we need to talk right now.
00:00:23About what? Didn't you see Paige's tramp hitting me with that chair? That title shot should be
00:00:29mine, not yours. All right? Hey, Scotty, it's my title shot. I ain't got a problem with
00:00:33you. Let me just take it. No, no, no. You're going to have a problem with me if you don't
00:00:37change it. You got that, Jack? What's up, bro? What's with you guys? You guys running around
00:00:46doing what you want to do? Hey, man, the deal is we all know about what you're doing behind
00:00:49our backs. I ain't doing nothing behind anybody. And it's ceaseless. And I'm here to tell them
00:00:53we know about it. Oh, we do. So the gig is up, bro. Let me tell you guys something. You
00:00:57want none of this. Watch what you're doing. All this. You got nothing to hide. There's
00:01:03nothing to worry about, isn't there? That's right. Hey, brother, don't worry about him.
00:01:06You're right. I know. You see what I'm saying? You see what I've been talking about? Hey,
00:01:10hey, what's up on that Scott Steiner, man? What is his problem? He's tripping, man. I
00:01:14don't know what his problem is, but since we took Conan out, this is what we'll do. When
00:01:18Norton flies in tonight, we're going to send him down and Steiner's match. Be the biggest
00:01:23surprise of his life. Can you dig him? 360 pound surprise. Get him out. Put him
00:01:28in check. You know I can take care of him. All for one and none for all. Cool. That's
00:01:32what I'm talking about. That's the way we do it, man. Roll it. Roll it.
00:01:38Back into the arena at the halfway point of what has been a very memorable night of world
00:01:44championship wrestling on Monday Nitro. And we still have to come for you, the greatest
00:01:49wrestling fans in the world. And tonight, Diamond Dallas Page defending the World
00:01:53Headyweight Championship against Melvin Goldberg. Rick Flair facing Big Sexy Kevin Nash.
00:01:59And we've all since found out tonight, through all of these great matches that Rick Flair and
00:02:05Rowdy Roddy Piper will battle upcoming at Slamboree on the 9th of May. St. Louis and
00:02:12TWA gone and on pay-per-view, within the balance, the power struggle at WCW. Rick Flair or Piper?
00:02:26Who's gonna be in charge? The winner of the match, and Slamboree will determine that.
00:02:31What I like about this, there's no lawyers involved. It's just Piper and
00:02:36Flair, go at it.
00:02:38Bob is the stuff.
00:02:40Bob Bagwell, signs are everywhere.
00:02:43What's up, Gator Country?
00:02:54Since everybody out here at WCW is calling their own shots, I mean,
00:03:00Goldberg comes out, calls the DDP match. That's gonna happen.
00:03:05Flair's out here saying what he wants to do is gonna happen.
00:03:09So let me tell you something else that's gonna happen.
00:03:12Big Papa Pup and Buff Denny.
00:03:17Slamoree U.S. title shot.
00:03:22You bring the gold, and I'll show you I'm buff, and I'm the stuff.
00:03:32You know, Scott Steiner, there's no doubt about it, you're big.
00:03:37And there's no doubt about it, you're bad.
00:03:40But like I said before, you're not buff, and you're not the stuff.
00:03:45So this goes to all you freaks out there.
00:03:50Big Papa Pup, ain't your hookup.
00:03:56Holla if you hear me.
00:03:58And a challenge to Big Papa Pup to boot for Slamoree.
00:04:05Scott Steiner, the U.S. champ, and Buff Begwell has more than enough reason
00:04:12to go up against Big Papa Pup and Slamoree.
00:04:16I don't care what would be a stake.
00:04:19I would stay away from Big Papa Pup.
00:04:22The man is absolutely right.
00:04:24Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:28Speaking of accidents here, Paps and Disco Inferno.
00:04:31He's so cool, he's just a Disco Inferno.
00:04:35There's so much to talk about, so much to lay down to you.
00:04:40We're gonna be playing Nigel, Hotels, Air Force.
00:04:43You need to be joining.
00:04:44People have come up to me and said, wrestling has never been this odd.
00:04:47Isn't it great?
00:04:48And you know something, it's gonna get better.
00:04:50It's gonna get better even tonight as the bell sounds for this match
00:04:53between the Disco Inferno and the Begwell.
00:04:57Tonight, Ric Flair and Big Sexy, that's right.
00:05:00You heard me right.
00:05:01Tell your friends, they're gonna wrestle on this program.
00:05:04Nash and Flair, and tonight Goldberg and Diamond Dallas Page
00:05:08for the World Heavyweight title.
00:05:11You can just see the introduction.
00:05:1314th time Heavyweight Champion of the World, Ric Underwear Man Flair.
00:05:19Former World Heavyweight Champion.
00:05:23Yeah.
00:05:24The Begwell has taken that NWO World Pack shirt.
00:05:29It goes to the fans, but before that, they had a pit stop
00:05:32around the throat of one Disco Inferno.
00:05:34It's on a star-studded night here with Piper's arrival.
00:05:40Flair's been here.
00:05:41Gold is a big sexy to come out.
00:05:45Good time by Begwell.
00:05:46Good time by Begwell.
00:05:47What raw power Begwell exhibits, as well as quickness and agility.
00:05:52Great drum kick that time as well.
00:05:54And Tony, you talk about conditioning.
00:05:56It wasn't long ago this man was on the shelf.
00:05:59He thought he'd never walk again.
00:06:01And look at him right now in there.
00:06:03He is the stuff.
00:06:04What the hell was that?
00:06:06That was good.
00:06:07That was a kick to the chop, pal.
00:06:09Best thing for the Disco Inferno to do is stay ringside on the floor.
00:06:14He gets back in with determination in his face.
00:06:17He does the Disco Inferno.
00:06:18He's got so much determination.
00:06:20He's got a lot of raw talent and ability.
00:06:23He just needs a good manager.
00:06:25Come on, Disco.
00:06:27Well, he's got the entire Wolf Pack, the entire NWO box.
00:06:31He's got a lot of talent, right?
00:06:32Well, they don't even care about themselves.
00:06:36Oh!
00:06:37And a good personal agent.
00:06:38The manager to guide his career.
00:06:41You're looking for a job, aren't you?
00:06:43No, no.
00:06:44I don't have time.
00:06:45I'm too busy.
00:06:49I'm like you, Tony.
00:06:50In that office every day.
00:06:52That finds a home.
00:06:56Bulls on the head, and now,
00:06:58both Begwell goes down into the Disco Inferno.
00:07:00Well, that'll hurt your neck.
00:07:01Right on the neck of Buff Bagwell.
00:07:02And as you know, a year ago, a horrific accident
00:07:07that almost took him out of wrestling for good.
00:07:09So the Disco Inferno is focusing on the right to cut.
00:07:16And the Disco Inferno again.
00:07:19After a little celebration.
00:07:23My hands are sweating, Shivani.
00:07:29I'm thinking about Goldberg.
00:07:30I'm thinking about DVP.
00:07:31The match we're gonna see.
00:07:32We're right here at ringside.
00:07:33We're not more than six feet from the ring.
00:07:36Anything could happen.
00:07:37Come on.
00:07:38Get outside!
00:07:39I'm beside myself.
00:07:40I can't wait for the belly rings.
00:07:41Get out!
00:07:42Get out, get out!
00:07:43Get out!
00:07:44Get out!
00:07:45Get out of here, go!
00:07:46And I can know as Paige will walk in for
00:07:47his third title offense since winning the title at Spring Stampede.
00:07:50It's going against Goldberg.
00:07:51Who looked, appeared, actually always is.
00:07:55Ready.
00:07:56Look here.
00:07:57Here we go. Look here.
00:07:59Now, I am checking some people
00:08:01doing commercial breaks.
00:08:03We do believe that is Alex Wright.
00:08:05It's very difficult to confirm it,
00:08:07but you can see the facial features.
00:08:10Oh, dude.
00:08:12That's, I believe, uh, okay, your secrets were lost.
00:08:15That's Alex Wright, right, I do believe.
00:08:19Sitting calmly, watching him.
00:08:22Show that jewelry he had on, whoever that is,
00:08:24I don't think that's Alex Wright.
00:08:26Look it is. He's taller than that.
00:08:27He was sitting down.
00:08:29No offense.
00:08:33Alex or whoever that is gonna be with us,
00:08:35as you will be when DDP and Goldberg hooking up.
00:08:39Goldberg could win tonight.
00:08:41That means Goldberg would face Kevin Nash at Slammery
00:08:44because Nash has an actual final bout.
00:08:47So many of these could happen late tonight.
00:08:48And it could happen tonight, on this program,
00:08:51later on here live in James Goldberg,
00:08:53and only on Monday night for now.
00:08:55And I think it's safe to say, Tony,
00:08:56in the history of this sport,
00:08:57you and I have probably won more championship matches
00:09:01where the belt has changed hands in any broadcast team.
00:09:03I believe so.
00:09:05I think we're gonna do it again tonight.
00:09:06Well, it could happen tonight.
00:09:07Well, the buffer mounting a comeback.
00:09:10Sidney Disco in.
00:09:12Back body drop.
00:09:13Who knows, Big Sexy may come out to wrestle Flair in his shorts.
00:09:20Well, that would be interesting, but Dave will go at it.
00:09:24Kevin Nash is well tonight.
00:09:26Flair, who's flipped right now, not in any frame of mind to wrestle,
00:09:30but he'll have to go in there against the best big man in our sport in Kevin Nash.
00:09:35Disco Inferno got one step ahead of Buff Bagwell.
00:09:39He lands across the top turn bucket.
00:09:46Disco Inferno tried his last dance maneuver, but Buff Bagwell reverses it.
00:09:53He won it with his blockbuster, but this time hit it in the middle of the ring.
00:10:11Your winner, and he wants a US title shot at time to read Buff Bagwell.
00:10:15Hold on to your seats, coming up on this program a little bit later on tonight.
00:10:21You're gonna see Goldberg, and world champion, Diamond and Dallas Page.
00:10:26The two man, two of the biggest superstars of our era with a WWE World Title.
00:10:32And tonight, live on Metro.
00:10:38Have you heard the news because it's imminent?
00:10:42It's coming up on this program.
00:10:45Yeah, you hear the Wolfpacks in the house, but also in the house, Kevin Nash.
00:10:50Tonight, live, Ric Flair.
00:10:53A very unstable Ric Flair, I might add.
00:10:56In this program, they'll go out and Diamond and Dallas Page.
00:11:01The heavyweight champion of the world will face Goldberg.
00:11:07A man who can defile Diamond and Dallas Page.
00:11:10In what could be one of the shortest modes of the middle range for the recent record.
00:11:16Your eyewitness to history-making television tonight.
00:11:19And one has top of, one's gotten out.
00:11:22Whatever he wants.
00:11:24Holler, if you hear me.
00:11:26I hear it.
00:11:31See, there's another great reason for being a Ric Flair.
00:11:34I don't want to talk to you and watch this at the same time.
00:11:55I don't want to talk to you and watch this at the same time.
00:11:55I want to talk to you and watch it.
00:11:56I'm telling you, you watch it at the same time.
00:11:58I want to talk to you tonight.
00:12:00I want to talk to you tonight.
00:12:02I want to talk to you tonight.
00:12:04I want to talk to you tonight.
00:12:08Cut to music.
00:12:09You see, when Big Papa Pump comes to town.
00:12:11All my hooches come around.
00:12:15Tonight, the greatest body in the world.
00:12:24is gonna rock some buddies until they call me the Big Bad Booty Daddy.
00:12:31So this goes to all my freaks out there.
00:12:37Big Papa Pope is your hookup.
00:12:40Holla if you hear me.
00:12:42Now Marcus Alexander Bagwell,
00:12:54your ego is so big it's blurring your vision of reality.
00:13:01Because the fact of the matter is,
00:13:04a guy whose biggest claim to fame was putting on a G string and being a male dancer
00:13:10didn't belong in the NWO no more.
00:13:14And nobody else disagreed with me.
00:13:17So when I got tired of having a cheerleader,
00:13:23and I got tired of having a knucklehead being around,
00:13:29and I left you laying, did you notice nobody came to help you?
00:13:34Because the reality of your world is, when you were born,
00:13:39your mother wanted a girl, but she got you.
00:13:44I'm saying you've got issues, Bagwell.
00:13:46You've got toys in the attic.
00:13:49Broken toys.
00:13:51Because real men don't wax their eyebrows,
00:13:54and real men aren't Chippendale dancers.
00:13:58So remember this, Bagwell.
00:14:04Before you were ever invited into the NWO, you were nothing, and we named you Buff.
00:14:13And now that I kicked you out, I suggest you change your name to fit your feminine personality.
00:14:21I say, Boyd Bagwell is hot.
00:14:26Boyd Bagwell is flaming, and it fits you like a glove.
00:14:30And I'm gonna enjoy beating the hell out of you.
00:14:34I think we made a little bit more space to Buck Bagwell and Big Papa Pop for the US title of Slammery on May 9.
00:14:48Where are we?
00:14:49On Monday Nitro.
00:14:51Monday Nitro.
00:14:52Monday Nitro.
00:14:55And coming up, on Monday Nitro, Ric Flair, the former world champ,
00:15:00against the best big man in our sport, Big Sexy Kevin Nag.
00:15:05What if, what if, Kevin Nag comes to fight?
00:15:10It could happen.
00:15:12Question is, can Goldberg put the taser incident of Starrcade behind him?
00:15:20And the charade of a title match, and what happened earlier in the year in January behind him?
00:15:25Can he regain the world title tonight?
00:15:27He'll get his shot against Diamond Dallas Page.
00:15:30It's live here.
00:15:31Ladies and gentlemen, I want to talk about an upcoming match we have for you at Slammery.
00:15:36And Charles Robinson will face George's job.
00:15:39But Lance Sturman, the Macho Man Randy Savage,
00:15:42hands in the balance on the 9th of May of Slammery.
00:15:46We're gonna take the fans back now and talk about it.
00:15:49And what happened when we could go on this program where Charles Robinson got slapped.
00:15:54Remember last week, Rick?
00:15:55How could you forget it?
00:15:56There he is in the ring.
00:15:58You're not a referee.
00:16:02I'm a referee.
00:16:04You're not qualified to referee any match, much less a horseman match.
00:16:11Besides, why did you have your bimbo out there last week?
00:16:15Uh-oh.
00:16:16How about that?
00:16:18What a right cross.
00:16:20And don't cross this lady.
00:16:22And don't cross the Macho Man.
00:16:24He's back when he looks better than ever.
00:16:27And now we find out she'll be trained by former latest champ, Medusa.
00:16:34All right fans, earlier tonight, this went down in the ring.
00:16:38He will be in public pursuant to statutes I-64, 65, and 35-2.
00:16:45And listen, it is further ordered that Ric Flair shall be removed from the office of the presidency of WCW Furness.
00:16:55You're out of your mind, Piper.
00:17:00I make the rules.
00:17:01And right now, I'm telling you, the judge and my kid, the paper don't exist.
00:17:07You're fired.
00:17:08You're fired.
00:17:09You're fired.
00:17:10Whoa.
00:17:11In May 9th, Sunday, at Slamboree.
00:17:14It's Roddy Piper and Ric Flair for the control of World Championship Wrestling.
00:17:20Who will it be prevailing in St. Louis?
00:17:24We'll be back, fans.
00:17:29And we are back and we are making noise because we still have straight ahead Ric Flair and
00:17:35Kevin Nash tonight on this program.
00:17:37They will go out and live.
00:17:39What if Goldberg wins the world title?
00:17:41He could.
00:17:42We'll face world champ, Diamond Dallas Fitz.
00:17:44The earlier brain did not want to go against Goldberg.
00:17:49And when Goldberg got in his face on this program, he went for it quickly.
00:17:53Well, Goldberg is so intimidating that basically what happened is DDP lost it.
00:17:59And he could lose it tonight.
00:18:01Big time.
00:18:02I like the popularity of this guy.
00:18:06He's awesome.
00:18:07One half of the world tag team Chance Kidman.
00:18:09His role or absence of a role in what happened last week to his tag team partner, Ray Jr.
00:18:23And that's gonna bring out now a man who at one time was his mentor.
00:18:27A man by the name of Raven.
00:18:34Raven's had a very, I wanna say a very different career in our sport.
00:18:40Different childhood.
00:18:42Gary Sattern, his longtime friend, comes out with him.
00:18:47Raven is a true enigma in professional wrestling.
00:18:53You can't deny that when the bell sounds, and he stepped to the rope that Raven can wrestle.
00:19:00I wonder how Kidman's gonna approach this match.
00:19:03Do it at one time.
00:19:05He was a member of the Earth's Wild Flop.
00:19:10Well, Kidman's been away from the Flop for a little bit of time now.
00:19:13He should have his head on pretty straight.
00:19:15But you never know.
00:19:16That's one thing, one thing about Nitro.
00:19:19You never know.
00:19:20That's why you gotta watch it.
00:19:21Lights come up.
00:19:22Here we go.
00:19:23And Raven's always has so much power over the people.
00:19:26Gonna say hello.
00:19:27We're on campus, as you know, here at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
00:19:33As they go right into this, there's a pickup.
00:19:36Head sensor takeover, record goes down.
00:19:39Kidman gotta realize that Sattern isn't ringside.
00:19:43There you go, Ray.
00:19:44And that certainly could make a difference.
00:19:46What a smash.
00:19:47Raven gets fast first.
00:19:49To the match.
00:19:50One, two.
00:19:52Scott Decker to the referee over.
00:19:53That's been so hard, Dr. Giovanni.
00:19:55When you defend the title against a man as capable and as confident as Raven,
00:19:59and you still have to know that Sattern is standing right by.
00:20:04Two count, only a two count.
00:20:07Kidman escaped down.
00:20:08There's a look at Perry Sattern.
00:20:09Come on, Ray.
00:20:10We talked about enigmas.
00:20:11We talked about odd personality.
00:20:13Take a look at that man right there, fans.
00:20:15Come on, Ray.
00:20:16Kidman has driven face first now.
00:20:18Into the mat.
00:20:19Raven a gut shot.
00:20:23Kicked in, in the sternum.
00:20:25He left it on the inside.
00:20:27It goes, Billy Kidman.
00:20:29But he's angled that time as well there.
00:20:31Well, he's over that top rope and I touched him like he didn't land,
00:20:35something's gotta get.
00:20:36I guess it's Raven's rules again, huh?
00:20:39Certainly that's the prevailing theme when he is in the ring.
00:20:44Basically anything goes.
00:20:45We saw earlier.
00:20:46Pack and the resurgent Bryan Nobbs and anything goes.
00:20:50Oh, that looks nasty.
00:20:51With trash cans and kendo sticks, tables and chairs.
00:20:55And now Raven, who first brought extreme hardcore into WCW with his Raven's rules.
00:21:04And the forehead hits the seat of the chair.
00:21:08Well, Raven's always in command.
00:21:10As odd as he is, he really knows what he's doing in that ring.
00:21:13I wonder how prepared Ric Flair is going to be for Kevin Nash.
00:21:20You know he's gotta be thinking that.
00:21:22He and Piper, he's got Piper with the control of WCW and the balance coming up
00:21:26at Slamboree on the 9th of May in St. Louis on a pay-per-view.
00:21:29But you gotta wonder exactly if Flair is picking straight enough to go up against
00:21:35it.
00:21:36Of course he is.
00:21:37And you can tell by the way he reacts.
00:21:39Nobody takes all their clothes off and throws their shoes away just because they get upset.
00:21:44And then being fired, being relieved of power at WCW.
00:21:48I mean.
00:21:49The chair made it up and so did the knees.
00:21:54But Raven, it thwarted Kidman from the top.
00:21:58Horseman in here.
00:22:03The ball is set.
00:22:08With the Horseman of the Rag.
00:22:13Raven, Paul Sander's down the floor running without the penalty.
00:22:21Who's this?
00:22:22It's Rey Mysterio and Jimmy.
00:22:24He's come in.
00:22:25Big start through the record.
00:22:29Who's on whose side?
00:22:32Look at the body.
00:22:35They're hanging all over the place.
00:22:37Well, they're holding up the Horseman.
00:22:39Mysterio and Sander.
00:22:40Kippman and Raven are down.
00:22:41This tells me something.
00:22:42This tells me something.
00:22:43Notice no Ian Anderson.
00:22:44He's got to be with Ric Flair.
00:22:45Flair must be beside himself for the match coming up with him.
00:22:48Well, you see him out here.
00:22:49It's a great point.
00:22:50He's a great point.
00:22:51He's in the ring between Sander and Ray Jr.
00:23:06And Ray Jr.
00:23:08Firing back on Sander who takes him down.
00:23:11Kidman goes in.
00:23:12Takes Sander down with a short power bomb.
00:23:14And now Raven, with an even blow on Kidman.
00:23:18And the Horseman are back in.
00:23:20The Horseman see the opening.
00:23:21I don't know how to call this match, Tony.
00:23:23You got a call, what you see?
00:23:25Well, there's 17 guys in there right now beating themselves almost to death.
00:23:29Earlier tonight, here's what went down between Flair and Piper.
00:23:35First of all, that's from your kid, your own kid.
00:23:39Just a minute.
00:23:40And one more thing, I'm giving Florida back the national title from Tennessee right now.
00:23:46All right, all right, since you're in such a happy mood, I got one more thing for you.
00:24:03Something that you saw, you looked at, you didn't pay no attention to, but you signed.
00:24:10Because tonight, you fight, and you know who you're going to get.
00:24:15Who?
00:24:16Big, sexy Kevin Brown.
00:24:18No!
00:24:19No!
00:24:20No!
00:24:21No!
00:24:22You're gonna be kidding me.
00:24:23You fired me.
00:24:24Flair against Nash any time now, but for control of WCW, Piper and Flair at Slammery on May 9th.
00:24:31Okay, you look at the showdown crowd, and they await as we do.
00:24:46Diamond Natter's face to go over for the world title.
00:24:49Big, sexy, and picture Roy Ricksmire one-on-one.
00:24:52It's all still to happen tonight.
00:24:55What's this about?
00:24:57On my, on my format here, it says, and as I told you about top of the program,
00:25:03it's supposed to be Conan, and Scott Steiner for the U.S. Conor,
00:25:09but all of a sudden, Scott Norton comes out.
00:25:12I got Conan in my four-man muscle.
00:25:15We'll have to wait and see.
00:25:17Big man, Norton, big, big, tough man.
00:25:21So Norton's gonna get a U.S. title shot?
00:25:23Is that how it is?
00:25:24And I'm getting out of here.
00:25:25This is gonna go on the floor.
00:25:27You're gonna stay right here is what you're gonna do.
00:25:29Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know how to explain this, although, as we said,
00:25:34time of the program.
00:25:35Here he comes, the United States Heavyweight champ, who cannot look past now,
00:25:41Scott Norton, into Buff Bagwell coming up with Slammery for the U.S. title.
00:25:46You can never look by Scott Norton.
00:25:49This is gonna be a tough man, very tough man for Big Top of Pops.
00:25:54Who's that?
00:25:55Another big piece for Norton, another good fight.
00:25:59This plus Flair and Nash.
00:26:02This plus Goldberg and Paige for the world tonight, tonight.
00:26:07Mike, you're mad, you're mad, you're mad!
00:26:11You're mad, you're mad, you're mad!
00:26:13You're mad!
00:26:14You're mad!
00:26:15You're mad, you're mad!
00:26:16You're mad!
00:26:17You're mad!
00:26:18They have said it so many times, I know I've said it.
00:26:22Stay away from this man who breaks high.
00:26:24He's a very unstable, hollow-cold individual.
00:26:27One of these, you're the person that's going to be in the midst of all of this.
00:26:33And there you go.
00:26:37It's got the ladies and then all of a sudden went up.
00:26:40We're making it our way, Tony.
00:26:42How you doing, Scott?
00:26:46You're the man.
00:26:47I've never seen that before.
00:26:49I've never seen that before.
00:26:54I've never seen that before.
00:26:56I've never seen that before.
00:26:57You're cool, man.
00:26:58You're the U.S. champion.
00:27:02I'll watch it for you.
00:27:04You are the man.
00:27:07What the world is going on here?
00:27:10Wow, that's a scary individual.
00:27:23I can see his eyes, his glasses, there's nothing in there.
00:27:26All right, next time on, next time on, he's gonna stun me.
00:27:29I'm gonna move next to him.
00:27:31You gotta be nice to him.
00:27:32I know, that's what I'm trying to be.
00:27:33Don't argue with him now.
00:27:34Yeah, forget about me, let's go to the match.
00:27:36That's right.
00:27:37And before the match gets underway, I wanna remind you, don't forget to call the WCW
00:27:40hotline tonight to hear Mike today's Week in Review.
00:27:43Get the latest information about a WCW superstar returning to the ring over the weekend.
00:27:47And if you missed some of the matches on the night show, you call a highlight of the results
00:27:51and a recap of all the excitement.
00:27:53That's not today.
00:27:54One, two, come on.
00:27:55Tonight on the WCW hotline, the match gets underway.
00:27:59Fans, Mike today was involved in a kind of a mishap during the weekend.
00:28:04He's gonna be okay.
00:28:06But he'll be back on Thunder on Thursday night.
00:28:09I have news from the doctor, they told him it is.
00:28:13Mike today will never sniff again.
00:28:18Scott Morton, who's in for Conan.
00:28:24Conan, as we said at the time of the program.
00:28:27Did have this US title shot.
00:28:30Deserve the title shot.
00:28:32And it's ironic to see members of the NWO in there together.
00:28:35But Scott Morton has stepped in here.
00:28:37And we do not know the announce crew out here in the arena.
00:28:41We do not know what happened to Conan.
00:28:48It can't be good though.
00:28:50No, it can't be good.
00:28:51You know.
00:28:52Look at Prump, look at Prump.
00:28:53He's got a man in the ring the size of Norton.
00:28:55And he still wants to get out here and draw with the fans.
00:28:58This guy's crazy.
00:29:00You know what I think?
00:29:02I think something happened to Conan.
00:29:05And I think maybe Norton knows something about it.
00:29:08Or why would he follow him?
00:29:09Unannounced.
00:29:10Maybe you're right about that.
00:29:11Look at the power of this Norton.
00:29:16Look at the power of this Norton.
00:29:19And he's mean all the time.
00:29:21He's mean.
00:29:22Two power men are going at it.
00:29:24And he's focusing on the back of Scott Steiner.
00:29:26There's the old trippy again there, Bright.
00:29:29Focusing on the back of Scott Steiner.
00:29:31We know that of any part of his body, Big Papa Puck, very vulnerable in the back.
00:29:36Scott Steiner's a really great back problem throughout his career in pro wrestling.
00:29:40But Tony, you better keep your eyes open.
00:29:42Steiner's out on the floor.
00:29:44I like that word, the other side.
00:29:58Got to go with the punches here, Brain.
00:30:02Roll with the flow.
00:30:03That's why they put us down here.
00:30:04To get right into the action.
00:30:06You can better believe we are, fans.
00:30:09And the elbow drop, gives a cover.
00:30:13You know what we're gonna call this area with?
00:30:15The foxhole.
00:30:16There we go.
00:30:17That's what I feel like.
00:30:19I'm watching a war in front.
00:30:21We have seen nothing less than war in many clocks here tonight.
00:30:24And we're not done yet?
00:30:25We're not done yet.
00:30:26We've still got two of the biggest wars in recent memory with Flair and Kevin Nash.
00:30:31They will hook it up tonight.
00:30:36I've never seen a crowd this pumped up for the whole year like this.
00:30:50They haven't stopped.
00:30:51Neither have the wrestlers here.
00:30:54And neither has Scott Norton, come to think of it.
00:30:57He is doing things to Scott Steiner that not many men can claim that job.
00:31:02Look how Steiner went down quickly from that massive lariat from Scott Norton.
00:31:07I think he may have found his match right here.
00:31:09One, two, three.
00:31:13No, sir.
00:31:14Couldn't get him down.
00:31:15Only a two.
00:31:16That's it.
00:31:17That's hard enough.
00:31:18You know, that means could be trying to shoulder break.
00:31:20The referee got clunked in the eye.
00:31:25And then Norton got clunked.
00:31:27Nowhere's near the eye.
00:31:29Belly to belly.
00:31:31Count him.
00:31:34Get out.
00:31:35Scott Steiner telling the referee to count him.
00:31:38One, two, three.
00:31:40And he beat him.
00:31:41Using the wrong side of leverage.
00:31:43But as the referee went down.
00:31:45Scott Norton.
00:31:48And Scott Steiner too close to the ropes.
00:31:51And now, Steiner goes on to slamboree to face Buff Vagra, his former teammate,
00:31:58his close friend for the US Heavyweight title.
00:32:01That'll be on Sunday, May 9th.
00:32:03Let's lock it out in the world.
00:32:05And available on Pay Per View.
00:32:08But next, that's right, the four big letters NEXT on this program.
00:32:14Coming up in a mere moment.
00:32:16The Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
00:32:18What will he do?
00:32:19Is he focused?
00:32:20Is he ready for the best big man in our sport, Kevin X?
00:32:23We'll find out next.
00:32:25Hold on, he chinstrapped here.
00:32:35Bobby the Brain in it.
00:32:36With wrestling fans.
00:32:37Rhymed the world.
00:32:38Time for one of our two big feature bats, and I mean big feature bats tonight.
00:32:46Look at what's going on there.
00:32:48He's got a long hair on that chest.
00:32:53Big sexy Kevin X always comes to bite.
00:33:02I want to see the mental state, I want to see the condition players in.
00:33:06And you know, Ric, he doesn't calm down.
00:33:11He better calm down.
00:33:16They've been juiced, they're pumped.
00:33:41They're ready.
00:33:42Gainesville, Florida!
00:33:51Big sexy's in the...
00:33:56Before I give Ric Flair the beating of his life tonight, I've got to address a couple issues.
00:34:19I've got a partner of mine sitting at home right now in Tampa, Florida that goes under the knife.
00:34:26So Hollywood, let me tell you something, this is a promise from Big sexy.
00:34:31Whether or not Dallas Page survives against Goldberg tonight, he took out your knee.
00:34:40Hollywood, I'm going to break his back when the time is right.
00:34:44He means a direct hit right there.
00:34:47And can do it.
00:34:50And Goldberg, if you happen to walk out here tonight as a world champion, I can say this to you, pal.
00:35:00We're one and one, and if you do happen to win, looks like we got the Thrilla in St. Louis coming up in about two weeks.
00:35:09There they go.
00:35:14Say the name of Goldberg and listen to the fans, it's done.
00:35:19All I can say to you guys in Gainesville is you got good taste.
00:35:26Ric Flair tonight has big sexy Kevin Nash, we're gonna have that match for you in just a moment.
00:35:34But Ric Flair also has Rowdy, Rowdy, Rowdy, Piper, Trap Marie brought to you by Camden, 220.
00:35:41The winner of the match will control World Championship Wrestling.
00:35:46And here's what happened earlier on.
00:35:49Fire you, you're fired.
00:36:05I'm not fired, I'm not fired.
00:36:07I'm not fired.
00:36:08And you know what?
00:36:09You're gonna wrestle me as Flair Marie.
00:36:11And you know what?
00:36:12If you beat me, you can run this damn company.
00:36:15You're fired though.
00:36:16You wanna fight me?
00:36:17You're fired.
00:36:18That's living proof you've lost your mind.
00:36:20You wanna fight me?
00:36:21Then you have a fight.
00:36:23Hey, hey, hey.
00:36:24Wait a minute.
00:36:25Look here.
00:36:26You're fired, but I'm fighting you first.
00:36:29You're fired, but I'm fighting you first.
00:36:31I'm fired, but you're fighting you.
00:36:32What is it?
00:36:33Get out of your mind.
00:36:34I am-
00:36:46All right.
00:36:47Ladies and gentlemen, and boys, and girls, and wrestling fans from close to close around the world.
00:36:54It is time for Rip VanVie.
00:36:59Truly, if you go to the list of fandom that you've had for you since Nitro debuted almost four years ago,
00:37:09we're gonna find this one of the biggest ever.
00:37:12Here he comes.
00:37:13The man who is irate, the man who is free, the rest of the world.
00:37:17With the balance of control of the WCW right now.
00:37:22Now, as Ric Flair comes to the ring,
00:37:24he's got the assistant lineup ready to get out of the way so we can get you to the ball this morning.
00:37:29Match up.
00:37:30There's number one in the 10-6 right-door center.
00:37:3610-6 for Thunder.
00:37:38And on Thursday, May 13, Candace Coliseum with the top Thunder.
00:37:42This morning, tickets for Thunder.
00:37:44The North Charleston, Coliseum, Charleston, South Carolina go on sale.
00:37:48And the box office of SCAT outlets, Jimmy Hart will be at the North Charleston Coliseum from 10 a.m. to noon.
00:37:53And this Saturday, April 24, tickets go on sale for Monday Nitro.
00:37:57Monday, May 24th at the Milo Center in Greenville, South Carolina.
00:38:00Art Anderson will be at the Milo Center Saturday 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
00:38:04When tickets go on sale for Monday Nitro on Monday, May 24th.
00:38:09With that said, we go into the ring.
00:38:14Art Anderson has arrived.
00:38:18You see Nash telling Anderson that he's gonna watch out for him.
00:38:22But he's gotta watch out for something else.
00:38:25Part of it as you see it.
00:38:28And I very much respect both men.
00:38:31But the other man to watch out for is Charles Robinson.
00:38:34That's right.
00:38:35Funny, isn't it, that Charles Robinson always gets these assignments.
00:38:38You know why that is.
00:38:40Because you're clear as the president.
00:38:42Well, now.
00:38:43Nothing wrong with that.
00:38:44Taking care of your own.
00:38:46And your friends.
00:38:47Piper's the commissioner.
00:38:48Anderson came up on the apron.
00:38:49Flair takes a massive tumble to the other side.
00:38:52And Big Sexy reacts away.
00:38:55That NWO shirt message sent out to Hollywood Hogan.
00:38:58He's having knee surgery tomorrow.
00:39:01We'll have a report on his condition Thursday with Mike Tanay and
00:39:05The Living Legend on Thunder on TVS.
00:39:07Flair trying what I think here brain is the wrong road.
00:39:12Don't do this to Big Sexy.
00:39:14But Flair, I guess it all goes with what he's been about tonight.
00:39:18Which is one step below being nuts.
00:39:21I think he's taking that step, Tony.
00:39:24He's nuts.
00:39:25I mean, he's beside himself.
00:39:27He just, he's just got the same Ric Flair he was a year ago.
00:39:31He's making decisions.
00:39:33He called himself President of the United States tonight.
00:39:38But that's okay.
00:39:39He's earned the right.
00:39:40What, to call himself the President of the United States?
00:39:42Whatever he wants.
00:39:43He's won the belt 14 times.
00:39:45No man, he's won it more than Gretzky.
00:39:53Gretzky's never won the World Heavyweight title.
00:39:55I don't mean any title.
00:39:56He's won more titles than Gretzky.
00:39:58I understand what you mean.
00:39:59Flair goes in.
00:40:00Big Sexy follows halfway in.
00:40:01Oh!
00:40:02Talking about a big, big body drive.
00:40:04You watched it right there, Ben.
00:40:08Big Sexy feeling good now.
00:40:10And Flair slowly drops the floor.
00:40:12This is where he wants Nasty to go.
00:40:14Because you see Anderson right there.
00:40:16That's right.
00:40:17They call this man the dirtiest player in the game ever.
00:40:21And he is.
00:40:22He's proud of it.
00:40:23And there's nothing wrong with that.
00:40:25And one of the reasons he's always been the dirtiest player in the game is because
00:40:29he's always standing searching there.
00:40:31Always.
00:40:32And he's thinking right now, that's what that little
00:40:34I'm not telling you, it's not now.
00:40:35I'm not telling you, it's not now.
00:40:36And it always stays focused, he never gets derailed.
00:40:41What are you talking about?
00:40:43Where?
00:40:44He got pretty derailed in line, I thought.
00:40:46He's gotta go against Piper at Slamboree.
00:40:49Brought to you by 10, 10, 220, and the winner of that match will have control of WCW.
00:40:55You didn't say that.
00:40:58I just said it, didn't you hear me?
00:41:00Watch that.
00:41:02Side headlock, look at the mess of arms of Big Sexy.
00:41:05And the obvious leverage advantage and size advantage he has on Flair.
00:41:09Fully Flair back with him.
00:41:11Flair wants him here.
00:41:12You can better believe he gets a chance, he'll come away that corner with one of those patented
00:41:17Knife and Chaps.
00:41:18And there he is.
00:41:20And a rock Big Sexy.
00:41:22His eyes crossed.
00:41:23And again.
00:41:25And again.
00:41:26Again.
00:41:28Three of them.
00:41:30Into the turnbuckle again.
00:41:33The boards move.
00:41:36The boards in the ring, that is.
00:41:39The boards in the house across the street.
00:41:43Flair scooch back to the back turnbuckle.
00:41:46And sexy now, you can see the anger in his eyes.
00:41:50As he wraps those massive hands around the throat of Ric Flair.
00:41:54Look at Charles Rollins trying to hold back the floor.
00:41:56One, two, three.
00:41:57But he couldn't do it.
00:41:58He's trying to gamble too much power there.
00:42:01Get off of it.
00:42:02Flair walks and goes face first.
00:42:07How much you can do with that damn man now.
00:42:17Get off of it.
00:42:18Get off.
00:42:19We've seen this before.
00:42:20Measure the man in the end.
00:42:22Flair is literally at the mercy of Big Sexy right now.
00:42:28Get in that elbow.
00:42:32Actually as you can see,
00:42:34Flair gets the side of the face and pushes the head over to the side.
00:42:40It's plain and simple.
00:42:42It hurts a lot.
00:42:43Yes, it does.
00:42:44And it's always a setup for the big set in the face.
00:42:48Anderson holding the leg.
00:42:50And the referee.
00:42:52Kevin Nash reached out to those big arms and
00:43:05tried to hook the middle toe buffer to stop Flair and Arne Anderson.
00:43:10And just like that, Charles Rollins is back into it.
00:43:13But Kevin Nash has now looked at Flair.
00:43:18Flair.
00:43:24Marlody of a chokehold for the referee there.
00:43:30And now look at this.
00:43:32Big Sexy's been tripled.
00:43:38It doesn't mean Charles Ellis is doing nothing about it.
00:43:41Now I saw an Arne Anderson and you know I can't talk about Jeff.
00:43:46Well, and to be honest with you, I don't think Big Sexy wants to do it.
00:43:52He's still got face like that.
00:43:54Here we go.
00:43:58You know what that's the beginning of?
00:44:00The figure four.
00:44:01The figure four.
00:44:02The figure four.
00:44:04Gets in the corner.
00:44:06Stomp on the knee.
00:44:07I'm gonna check the time.
00:44:09Check the time.
00:44:11Ric Flair took Charles Robinson to check the time.
00:44:15David Pinter.
00:44:17Oh!
00:44:19And like a big Otuve.
00:44:21Big Sexy fingers on the mat.
00:44:25Ric Flair.
00:44:32Ric Flair, who a week ago on this very program was thrown into a match against Sting.
00:44:39And what a match it was.
00:44:41The same caliber match we have for you here.
00:44:43we have for you here, and we still got Paige and Goldberg for the world title.
00:44:48Waiting in the wings tonight.
00:44:50Next.
00:44:51Flair's feeling very good, right on his feet, combination blow.
00:44:55Yeah.
00:44:56The Cucks picked 60 with a right push.
00:44:59I'm wondering,
00:45:05Nassar's leg's too long and too powerful for Flair to slap on that figure four.
00:45:12I don't think so.
00:45:14I think any man can have it put on him.
00:45:16I've seen you put it on men with not necessarily longer legs,
00:45:20but maybe legs with more grip.
00:45:23Heavier men.
00:45:26Probably the shorter, squatier legs would be harder.
00:45:29Well, yeah, one would think so.
00:45:33There's a lot of .
00:45:35Going to the .
00:45:37Great find amongst .
00:45:39How about it now, Tennessee?
00:45:41I don't think we have seen Kevin Nash in this much trouble a long time.
00:45:48You may have heard a momentary call out by Flair talking about Kevin Nash and
00:45:54caught him from Tennessee.
00:45:56You know Kevin Nash did go to the University of Tennessee.
00:46:00And of course, there are rivals right here in Florida, in Gainesville.
00:46:06So Flair's playing that part.
00:46:09.
00:46:14Looks that big sexy again.
00:46:16.
00:46:20This is a horseman mentality.
00:46:22And the big man just knocked his way out of him.
00:46:25How many times have you seen that?
00:46:28I don't think of him.
00:46:30Flair keeps getting up, but he keeps getting knocked out.
00:46:32Into the rope.
00:46:34Here's a pick up.
00:46:35Down.
00:46:36One, two, three.
00:46:41Come on.
00:46:43Little argument from Kevin Nash, although I think that was a pretty good count that time.
00:46:48Close, but no sugar.
00:46:50Remember, upside down the score.
00:46:53Round it to the handicap player, and we can go.
00:46:55Blast.
00:46:56And you don't want to.
00:46:57Go, that was down in the heat.
00:47:00.
00:47:03Now this could be bad for Nash, cuz we know Arne Anderson's out on the floor also.
00:47:07.
00:47:08Nash, they're in his leg.
00:47:10The right hand belt is fine, yeah.
00:47:11Go, go, go, go, go, go.
00:47:15Into the safety rail and back in.
00:47:18Go.
00:47:18And Flair gets off the drug man.
00:47:21With Flair steps across the top rope.
00:47:26Looking first in the moratorium.
00:47:29The soul of the moon, and Flair comes around for the grand move.
00:47:34What a great back elbow that was to stop the big man in his chest.
00:47:38He's a master.
00:47:39Yeah, Flair.
00:47:40.
00:47:42The VTA's about three seconds.
00:47:47He landed in a kill somewhere.
00:47:50Neighboring city here to go.
00:47:51Wow.
00:47:52.
00:47:55But he is, and he's over there, he's over there.
00:47:57And Hollywood Hogan's looking on left corner, and Hollywood Hogan touched him to get a big thing.
00:48:04Big six, he's got one.
00:48:06He points in a turnbuckle, lower left side.
00:48:15.
00:48:20He's going to put him in me.
00:48:23.
00:48:24.
00:48:28Here's it, James Robinson won't make a cut off.
00:48:32He's walking out.
00:48:33He's washing his hands in a hot situation.
00:48:36Anderson's up there, and you're telling me, he's not going to close his back pocket.
00:48:40He has had him beat.
00:48:41He sure did.
00:48:42He won't kill it.
00:48:43.
00:48:44.
00:48:49She's putting the shirt on your right, Hader.
00:48:59.
00:49:03This is a lady who needs business.
00:49:05One tough one.
00:49:07She's got the shirt on.
00:49:09She's gonna call it.
00:49:11Flair's still up.
00:49:12One, two, three.
00:49:17.
00:49:22.
00:49:23Robinson, obliterated Robinson.
00:49:28Anderson will still be out.
00:49:30She dons the striped shirt, becomes the referee.
00:49:34And Big Sexy marks up a win over the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
00:49:39What a turn of events it was.
00:49:41And we're not done yet.
00:49:42It looks like Flair, maybe.
00:49:47Hey, this is gonna have an impact on Flair's match at Slamboree.
00:49:54Brought to you by 1010220, when he faces Roddy Piper on the Night of May.
00:49:59.
00:50:01Remember, the winner of that, Piper, Flair, will control World Championship Wrestling.
00:50:07And this does not look good for the Nature Boy.
00:50:09Now, I know we're about three weeks out.
00:50:11.
00:50:13They have his pair put out of the gurney.
00:50:16Hey, be careful with him.
00:50:17He's hurt.
00:50:19Don't choke him off.
00:50:20.
00:50:23They're dragging Flair out of here like a burlap sack.
00:50:29Be careful with him.
00:50:29At least his eyes are open.
00:50:31He rolled back in the back of his head.
00:50:33Hey, hey, hey.
00:50:35Don't be choking him off.
00:50:38All right, Flair is still sharp, man.
00:50:40I don't know if we can get an update on Ric Flair or not.
00:50:43But for Slamboree, it's looking better and better for Roddy Roddy Piper to control
00:50:49World Championship Wrestling.
00:50:52Did you say that I was fired?
00:50:54I don't know.
00:50:55There's Piper.
00:50:56Hey, you idiot.
00:50:57He's hurt.
00:50:58He's hurt.
00:50:59Are you supposed to fight me in the midst of the interview?
00:51:02Is that the deal?
00:51:03Piper.
00:51:03Piper.
00:51:04Let alone, Piper.
00:51:04Hey, you idiot.
00:51:05He's hurt.
00:51:06Piper.
00:51:07I'm the fired one.
00:51:08Will you keep him away?
00:51:09I don't look fired.
00:51:10Keep him away.
00:51:11I'll keep away.
00:51:12Wakey wakey.
00:51:13Hey, Piper.
00:51:14Get off of him.
00:51:15Hey, hey, hey.
00:51:16Hey, wait a minute.
00:51:17Come on, Rick.

00:51:45We need a neck brace.
00:51:47Give us a leg, please.
00:51:49Hey!
00:51:51Where's the life support stuff?
00:51:53Come on, President. I'll get inside the van.

00:52:11He's okay.
00:52:13I'm telling you, he's fine.
00:52:15I'm a doctor.
00:52:17Back it up.
00:52:19We got the oxygen coming.
00:52:21Where's the life support stuff?
00:52:23Take him home.
00:52:25What do you mean?
00:52:27Let's get the thing moving.
00:52:29Hey, wait a minute.

00:52:43Great PG videos.
00:52:45This portion of WCW Monday Nitro
00:52:47is brought to you by Wendy's Classic Hamburgers.
00:52:51It's Hamburger Bliss.
00:52:53We're back on Monday Nitro in a moment.
00:52:55BDP and Goldberg in a world title.
00:52:57We welcome to the broadcast location.
00:52:59Long time seeing this guy, the one and only American Dream Dusty Rouse.
00:53:03It looks like the Nature Boy went to the funny farm a few moments ago.
00:53:07I'll tell you what, Tony, he did go to the funny farm, but let me tell you what, if you are a fan, and I know you are of Nitro, don't go anywhere, because the most coveted title in the history of our industry is getting ready to be put on the line at here.
00:53:17Diamond Dallas Page, Goldberg, both men respect each other.
00:53:33This will be one hell of a fight, I guarantee you.
00:53:37How was that?
00:53:39Sounds like you're bucking for a job here.
00:53:41Hey, where's the legend?
00:53:43Well, fans, in a few moments, we're gonna be going for DDP, going up against Goldberg for the world title.

00:54:22Come on.
00:54:23Hey, what's the matter with you people?
00:54:24Get off of him.
00:54:25I'm off of him, I guess.
00:54:26What's the matter with you?
00:54:27Get off of him.
00:54:28You don't mind.
00:54:29You'll be okay.
00:54:30Come on.
00:54:31Where's the oxygen at all?
00:54:32He's okay.
00:54:33What do you mean?
00:54:34He's fine.
00:54:35I'm telling you he's fine.
00:54:36I'm a doctor.
00:54:37Fine.
00:54:38Back it up.
00:54:39We got the oxygen coming.
00:54:41Take him home.
00:54:42Where's the loss support stuff?
00:54:43Take him home.
00:54:44It's coming.
00:54:45It's coming.
00:54:46What do you mean?
00:54:47Let's get the thing moving.
00:54:48Take out.
00:54:49Take out.
00:54:50Hey, wait a minute.
00:54:51Relax.
00:54:52There you go.
00:54:53Baskets leading.
00:54:56Lots of fun.
00:54:57They got baskets.
00:54:59They got-
00:55:00Next on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:55:04You're gonna see Goldberg, Diamond and Dallas Page.
00:55:08They'll hook it up.
00:55:09This one will be for the WCW World Heavyweight title.
00:55:13Keep your seats.
00:55:14We're coming right back for the World Title Bout.
00:55:21Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you back to Monday Nitro Live on TNT.
00:55:25Well, it's been our privilege to bring you tonight's matches and to cap it all off.
00:55:30The most prestigious title in professional wrestling.
00:55:34The WCW World Heavyweight title will be center stage.
00:55:40And here's your champion, Diamond and Dallas Page.
00:55:44He called, as you said, many, many world title matches, but this crowd is nothing less than electric.
00:55:51And they're ready for this bout here tonight.
00:55:53And they've been their way since the first bell rang.
00:55:56And Dusty, how does it feel to walk down that ramp the first time you strap that belt around your waist like this man's doing?
00:56:02I'll tell you what, Brandon, you know the very simple fact is Goldberg has to beat Diamond Dallas.
00:56:09Dallas don't have to beat Goldberg.
00:56:11He has reached the top of this sport by becoming the World Heavyweight Champion.
00:56:17Goldberg got to be on top of this game.
00:56:19Dallas Page, Tony, can make no mistakes because they will come back to haunt him.
00:56:25It would not surprise me, guys.
00:56:28And I think the fans will agree with this.
00:56:31Goldberg is trying to win for the first thing.
00:56:34They'll take a beat.
00:56:35Sometimes the second players get stronger.
00:56:37But the match goes longer.
00:56:39That Goldberg will try to win it.
00:56:43Listen to the fans.
00:56:45.
00:57:08Anyway, go for a ride with a spear in the jet hammer on Bellator's hands.
00:57:13I'm trying to get him over with.
00:57:16He might have a little mindset.
00:57:20He's been in there with Della before.
00:57:22You know, he's gotta be ready to beat the challenge from Della's face.
00:57:27Being the champion gives you that drive, that takes you,
00:57:31that makes you big things, don't you?
00:57:33That makes you big things.
00:57:34You can't do.
00:57:35And he's gotta stay away from that diamond cutter.
00:57:38He knows it.
00:57:41That man there, he's no fool.
00:57:44That's Diamond Dolls, the world's champion.
00:57:46You pick him up for a jackhammer, you can turn that into the diamond cutter real quick.
00:57:51Needless to say, this is not the first meeting between the two for the world title,
00:57:54but the last time they faced.
00:57:56Goldberg had the world title around his waist.
00:57:59The Halloween hammock, and it was a classic, one of the best matches of 1998.
00:58:04Rolls and reverse the joint, the intimidation starts, neither man to back down.
00:58:09And they shove the referee down.
00:58:12You see that mutual respect.
00:58:14But let me tell you what, throw that out the window here.
00:58:17Because when he gets down to the nitty-gritty, the best man will win this match.
00:58:23Page gets shoved back, comes right back to Moore.
00:58:26He'll do it again.
00:58:27And oh, what a great move by Page.
00:58:30And Goldberg knew him.
00:58:32Oh, listen to him.
00:58:38Outstanding.
00:58:39Goldberg knows what he's up against in there.
00:58:42This man's for real.
00:58:43Page hits on, Goldberg shoots him in.
00:58:48And Page is up against.
00:58:50There he walks.
00:58:52Out of the safety room.
00:58:53And he pops right back up.
00:58:56All right.
00:59:01Stalemate on both ends there.
00:59:04One good move for Page, one good move for Goldberg.
00:59:08Here's one of Page's pending moves.
00:59:10Shoulder drive.
00:59:11He went to the diamond cutter right there, and Goldberg shrugged him off.
00:59:14On those two occasions, right there that Goldberg has used power.
00:59:18We're gonna see a lot of power from Goldberg in his attempt to regain the world's heavyweight title.
00:59:24We're gonna see maybe a little bit of finesse from Diamond Dell and Page.
00:59:28This thing, you gotta sit in, this thing's gonna blow up.
00:59:31I think Page realized here, Brain, and I think you would agree, Dusty,
00:59:34that he could not get the diamond cutter on Goldberg that easily, that early.
00:59:38But he wanna let Goldberg know that that's what he's gonna try to do.
00:59:41See, I see a difference.
00:59:42Well, I've never seen that when he does go to the diamond cutter come out and watch the move.
00:59:46Look at this leg trap, he's gonna cut one on it.
00:59:50I think he wanted to get him quick, but Goldberg impressed me there.
00:59:53He's done his homework.
00:59:54He knows what to expect from Diamond Dell.
00:59:56Got him up.
00:59:57He did it.
00:59:59That's gonna take over.
01:00:00Two side crackers on.
01:00:02Page sliding and grabbing with his ankles, the rope on the nearshow.
01:00:07Two.
01:00:08What a classic magic of Howard.
01:00:12And the wheel to win.
01:00:13That's so great.
01:00:14When we talk about DDP, it's the wheel to win.
01:00:19Every big name star who's ever been the world champ has had the will to win.
01:00:27The intangibles.
01:00:29The can miser a great champion's heart.
01:00:32You can only see it.
01:00:34There's no stop for that.
01:00:36Goldberg comes in.
01:00:41Goldberg comes in.
01:00:43.
01:00:48I can hear the close top of nine.
01:00:53And Page, with a great move, just grabbed the tights and grabbed Goldberg and threw him hit first to the turnbuck.
01:01:02He aimed him on that one.
01:01:04Swimming neck breaker.
01:01:05Got a cover.
01:01:06One, two, no.
01:01:09Have you ever seen anyone come out of that spear like that?
01:01:12No, the answer is-
01:01:14Grabbing the gut.
01:01:19The gut.
01:01:20Maybe, yes.
01:01:21Goldberg goes down.
01:01:23Only on one count, the big man just kicks away.
01:01:27Powers out once again, using his power.
01:01:29Dallas on top of his game earlier in this match made that mistake we talked about,
01:01:33but came right up from it with a big clothesline, back on top of the game now,
01:01:37trying to get him down, wearing down a little bit.
01:01:39This guy, Goldberg, is so strong that it won't take much for him to put Dallas away.
01:01:47If Dallas is not on top of his game, putting him in a watch, it looks like he is.
01:01:52He is.
01:01:54Here comes a ten of over, close to the fans.
01:02:00Hands over his ears, Diamond.
01:02:02Goldberg reacts to his feet.
01:02:07Short jams.
01:02:08He catches him in the front chain.
01:02:10To him.
01:02:14That's it.
01:02:15No, no, no.
01:02:16Yes.
01:02:17That's not it.
01:02:18Wow.
01:02:20Well, the fans erupted on that.
01:02:23Goldberg with a display showing the world that he is more than a spirited jackhammer.
01:02:32A complete and total athlete, a pick up, dropping down with authority.
01:02:37He's got to be thinking about putting him away right now.
01:02:49That had to take a lot out of him.
01:02:51This is his opportunity of a lifetime right now.
01:02:54Goldberg with a diamond cutter, he gets shrugged off again.
01:02:58Goldberg will pick him up.
01:02:59Slam him down.
01:03:03Will not keep him in.
01:03:07Even the referee is getting frustrated.
01:03:09Of course he is.
01:03:10What a match.
01:03:11What an evening.
01:03:12What a nitro.
01:03:13Goldberg is wearing him out right now.
01:03:16Got him really on the line to really need him.
01:03:19I'm telling you.
01:03:20Big fish out there too, baby.
01:03:24Irish whip to the left side.
01:03:27Where did he come with that from?
01:03:30Surprises me all this night.
01:03:32And he kicks him in the jaw.
01:03:34And he sends him outside.
01:03:35And he goes out with him.
01:03:36Paige and Goldberg back on the floor.
01:03:38It's a danger for these folks needing to be out here right now.
01:03:41One.
01:03:42I guarantee you, we know it can't be one out there.
01:03:44One guy's gotta come through and get him back inside here.
01:03:47Three.
01:03:48Smart moves.
01:03:49Yeah.
01:03:50If you think of well, I don't know.
01:03:51If I was Paige, I would've got in and let Goldberg on the floor.
01:03:54Well, you know, you said earlier, Dustin, he does not have to be Goldberg.
01:03:57Goldberg in the ring.
01:03:59I got him right here.
01:04:01He's got him number two in Goldberg escapes.
01:04:03You're the World Heavyweight Champion, Tony.
01:04:05I know that scenario goes through your mind, but once you get under the lights of the crowd and the screaming, you wanna go for the win.
01:04:11Win is the name of the game.
01:04:12That's the payday.
01:04:13That's the pay window.
01:04:15Goldberg ducks.
01:04:16Someone kept that time, caught it.
01:04:18Here comes the fake trap.
01:04:24The fans do it.
01:04:26Paige looking on.
01:04:28Uh-oh.
01:04:29Not yet.
01:04:30That's a smart move by Paige.
01:04:32Wow.
01:04:33Smart move by, and another smart move by Paige.
01:04:36He screamed at him, literally man, and then moved.
01:04:40Respect was evident, but I tell you what, Goldberg made a crucial mistake by waiting and not putting away when he had him.
01:04:49And he lost eye contact there.
01:04:51Here it goes again.
01:04:53That's it.
01:04:54Shootout.
01:04:55He's gonna beat Goldberg.
01:04:57One, two, three.
01:05:04He didn't know the kick out, he powered out.
01:05:07I have never seen anyone kick out from that.
01:05:11Unbelievable move.
01:05:12It's never happened.
01:05:13He's gone with a touch.
01:05:18He's gone with a touch.
01:05:19He's gone with a touch.
01:05:20He's gone with a touch.
01:05:21He's been illegal.
01:05:22The legal object.
01:05:23Oh.
01:05:24A spear.
01:05:27Mickie J.
01:05:28Down.
01:05:29Paige down.
01:05:30Paige to the floor.
01:05:32Still hurting the object.
01:05:34Goldberg on all fours.
01:05:38What a match.
01:05:39Well, this is so uncharacled.
01:05:40What's going on here?
01:05:44The match is still going on with that one.
01:05:47The match is counting.
01:05:57Mickie J is not gonna get up.
01:05:59He had a pin four, five, six count right there.
01:06:02We should have a new world champion right now.
01:06:05Mickie J sandwiched between the combatants in the middle of Goldberg Lethal Spear.
01:06:14Paige up.
01:06:15He hit him.
01:06:16He hit him.
01:06:17He hit him.
01:06:18Behind the air.
01:06:19He rocked him.
01:06:20Man.
01:06:30Vince, Paige is not done.
01:06:33Paige with that object.
01:06:34Hammering, they hit a Goldberg.
01:06:36I'll tell you what it goes back to the old thing.
01:06:43Paul Reed's success.
01:06:45And I've never seen this side of him coming.
01:06:49This is disgusting too.
01:06:51I guarantee what's he gonna do now?
01:06:52I'll tell you.
01:06:53Steel steps, Reed's concussion too is what it is.
01:06:58Yeah.
01:06:59Serious, he's going at it with bad intention right now.
01:07:02He's going to the leg.
01:07:03He's going to try to break his leg.
01:07:05The ankle.
01:07:06That's right now.
01:07:07Look at the ankle.
01:07:08Look at the ankle.
01:07:09Hogan.
01:07:10He's going under the knife tomorrow.
01:07:15Yeah.
01:07:16Stop it, Hogan.
01:07:17He's at the takeover.
01:07:19Moving out, man.
01:07:21You can't do that, boy.
01:07:25He's got it again.
01:07:30The center of that crushing thumb across the kneecap.
01:07:42Across the cap.
01:07:44He's hit him about five or six times.
01:07:47Johnny Boone has come out.
01:07:49Johnny Boone just left.
01:07:51Johnny Boone left the building.
01:07:54And came back.
01:07:57For Dallas, Paige.
01:08:01Dallas, Paige, Barker.
01:08:04Fowler tries to get out.
01:08:06I'm killing you.
01:08:08No.
01:08:09This is what he did to Hogan.
01:08:11Yes.
01:08:12If you picked him in the figure, you won't play.
01:08:14All right.
01:08:15They're going to go out and pick Goldberg out.
01:08:17I can't believe.
01:08:19Cody.
01:08:20I don't even want to come out to help Paige to attack Goldberg.
01:08:25But he nails.
01:08:26Look at this.
01:08:27Paige.
01:08:28I can't believe what I'm seeing.
01:08:29Kevin Nash saved him.
01:08:32Kevin Nash saved Goldberg.
01:08:35That is unbelievable.
01:08:37A quick run to the ring by Kevin Nash.
01:08:43We thought Goldberg was in dire straight stand.
01:08:46Thought he'd be double-teamed, but he shrunked out.
01:08:50And he helped Goldberg, and Goldberg reaching a page.
01:08:54He just cleaned the clock of Big Sexy with a world title.
01:08:57He's going to have his day with a slammer in the cage.
