00:00:00We are back and we are just catching our breath because ladies and
00:00:16gentlemen Sting is the new heavyweight champion of the world.
00:00:21But also during the commercial break we have been informed that immediately
00:00:26the WCW officials have signed Sting to defend the world title.
00:00:31Coming up at Slamboree on the 9th of May against Goldberg.
00:00:35Does it get any bigger than that?
00:00:37Sting and Goldberg now at Slamboree with the world's heavyweight title at stake.
00:00:44Whoa.
00:00:44Now here comes Ray Jr.
00:00:48One more amazing.
00:00:50Let's see.
00:00:51Sting and Goldberg now on the record.
00:00:55Sting and Goldberg, we hang out,
00:00:57snap around Saturday night, we took everything down,
00:01:00took us a lot of time, took it out like he would have.
00:01:05Obviously when we were told that Mike, you and I looked at each other during the
00:01:08commercial break, what's the first thing you said?
00:01:10I said this is a pre-match.
00:01:12This is a match that everyone has been waiting to see and
00:01:16we're finally gonna get to see it take place at Slamboree.
00:01:18Sting one on one with Goldberg.
00:01:21Yeah, but what's the first thing that I said?
00:01:24What was it?
00:01:25You weren't risking it.
00:01:25It was my memory.
00:01:26Well, I'll tell you what it is.
00:01:28I said, what about Mick Simpson?
00:01:31Kevin Nash, Kevin Nash had Diamond Dallas Page.
00:01:34He had his world title shot coming up on the 9th.
00:01:38He doesn't have it anymore.
00:01:39He's left out in the polls.
00:01:41Wow.
00:01:42That's right.
00:01:44He was set for that title shot at Slamboree.
00:01:47Take off.
00:01:50Take off.
00:01:51That was a good one.
00:01:53I'm gonna give it.
00:01:54Kevin Nash certainly earned that, and now it's all that, that's the way it is.
00:02:04Shout out to this point, but we're gonna go now from the world title round and a sensational one advance for the Cruiserweight title.
00:02:10And I don't think there's any questions, you follow the Cruiserweights, you follow the Luchadores, Mike, closer than anyone, and Psychosis, the biggest night of his career was last Monday.
00:02:24Well, this is another new world champion in WCW, Psychosis finally did it last Monday, winning a Four Corners match against four of the top Cruiserweights in the world.
00:02:35If you recall, it was Rey Mysterio Jr., the defending champion, as well as Huma Toon, Carrera, and Blitzkrieg in that Four Corners match.
00:02:42It was a marathon, it went over 20 minutes, and in the end, it was Psychosis winning the title when he defeated Blitzkrieg.
00:02:48Now, Rey Mysterio Jr., the defending champion, was not involved in the finish of that match.
00:02:54He did not either submit, or he was not pinned, so the WCW Executive Committee has taken it upon themselves to put Rey into this number one contender slot.
00:03:03And he is the first man to challenge Psychosis for the Cruiserweight belt, and that's a good call.
00:03:08So now, Rey Jr., a man who's partner, Kidman, was winning the hospital in the emergency room earlier today by the Horseman.
00:03:17Like Benoit Malenka, as was Perry Satter, will go in now with the Cruiserweight title in Psychosis.
00:03:23You can just tell, Mike, that Psychosis is wrestling with a lot more confidence, more than we've ever seen from him.
00:03:28And that's really the key, because I think in terms of talent, in terms of potential, we all knew that Psychosis could compete with the top Cruiserweights.
00:03:35I've seen it for years in Mexico, even before he arrived on the scene here in WCW.
00:03:39But it finally all came together for him last week.
00:03:43Sidestepping the move that time, Rey Jr.
00:03:47That body drop in, Rey lands on the apron.
00:03:50First turn in the top turn, but the Psychosis, the Cruiserweight, top turns.
00:03:55And Rey sets him down with another, she sets him the move!
00:04:00Of course, Mysterio still won half of the World Tag Team Champions, along with Kidman,
00:04:07who, as you mentioned, was injured and taken to the emergency room along with Perry Satter earlier today,
00:04:12as a result of that attack by the Horseman.
00:04:14Who's gonna look out here?
00:04:17That's why.
00:04:18Rey tried to use the top rope for some extra leverage and balance, but it worked against him that time.
00:04:23That time, the advantage was to the taller Psychosis who used that height and strength advantage to take Rey over into the corner.
00:04:33I'm gonna say a very special hello to our fans in Charlotte, North Carolina.
00:04:36This program, Monday Night Raw, next week will originate live from the Charlotte Coliseum Home of the Hornets.
00:04:43And next Monday, May 3rd, tickets available at the box office of Ticketmaster.
00:04:47And I tell you, you're talking about action, the last three weeks,
00:04:50we have some of the greatest wrestling action.
00:04:52And already tonight, a new world champion.
00:04:55Fuck!
00:05:00I still can't get over that.
00:05:04New world's heavyweight champion, Sting, just a couple of weeks back in WCW.
00:05:09And the impact already made as he defeated Diamond Dallas Page.
00:05:14Great counterbalance, Psychosis.
00:05:21Rey nowhere to go but out that time.
00:05:23And I think for Rey, maybe lucky that he got caught on the top rope.
00:05:26The next step would have been all the way to the floor.
00:05:29And now he lands on the apron of the ring.
00:05:31Psychosis hands Rey Jr. out to try and cross the top rope.
00:05:34And then connects with the drop, kicks his way down to the apron.
00:05:37Mysterio in trouble, Psychosis in the driver's seat.
00:05:41Come on, Psychosis, get back in this way.
00:05:44Trying to walk up top.
00:05:45Rey cuts him off for Psychosis.
00:05:50Still in command now.
00:05:52Landed on the apron, high risk to know, but we got him.
00:05:58Here comes Rey again.
00:06:01Here comes another one on the way.
00:06:02No.
00:06:03He's gonna go to the floor.
00:06:04That could have broken a man's statement for a good day.
00:06:08Amazing.
00:06:12What can they do?
00:06:14Here they come.
00:06:16Two men have had a profound impact on wrestling action tonight.
00:06:21And we haven't even seen them on TV.
00:06:22They've already put Perry Saturn and Kidman in the hospital.
00:06:25And now they're making their way to the ring.
00:06:28We're talking about the Four Horsemen tag of Dean Malenko and Chris Benroff.
00:06:32Hands down though standing.
00:06:35Front suplex with a twist in time.
00:06:38By Psychosis, takes down Rey Jr.
00:06:42Shoots him off into the ropes, hoops him up into the air.
00:06:47Excellent counter.
00:06:48We're here to reclaim what is right-
00:06:53He used to be the tag champs.
00:06:55Rey Jr.
00:06:58of Blue Ridge Black Horsemen members.
00:07:00And Darren Jones, Rey Jr.
00:07:05We're gonna remind you of an update on Hollywood Hogan, his injury.
00:07:09The surgery that he underwent last Tuesday.
00:07:13An update will be coming up.
00:07:15A feature on that in this telecast.
00:07:17And the gorgeous George training video.
00:07:19Yes.
00:07:21We look forward to that.
00:07:22Don't we, Mike?
00:07:24I've got a symbol on my format.
00:07:26Powerbomb.
00:07:27One.
00:07:28Two.
00:07:29Two.
00:07:30One.
00:07:31Two.
00:07:32Two.
00:07:33One.
00:07:34I told you what's up by two, okay?
00:07:35One.
00:07:36And Psychosis.
00:07:37One.
00:07:38Two.
00:07:39Little argument going on, one can speak English, one Spanish, but they still understand each other.
00:07:44And now, Psychosis was to put this in the deep reach.
00:07:49And the Horseman, wiped out by Rey Jr but Ralf.
00:07:52And there we are.
00:07:54An amazing mood.
00:07:55Cover.
00:07:56Two.
00:07:57To go in.
00:07:58In the span of 15 minutes,
00:08:05we have new world champions now in the heavyweight division.
00:08:11Look right there, Ray Jr.
00:08:13is in a dire straight snap.
00:08:16Horsemen continue to send their message.
00:08:19Now the double team attack on Ray Jr.
00:08:21They're doing everything but weaken all the other tag teams.
00:08:24Look at that.
00:08:25And there's nobody here to have Ray Jr.
00:08:30Kidman already sent to the emergency room.
00:08:33Remember the three way match for the world tag title coming out of the slate with me.
00:08:38And by the sheer number that Kidman's in the hospital, that Saturn's in the hospital,
00:08:43it seemed to hear the Horsemen may be a few weeks away from regaining the goalposts.
00:08:48Well, it sure seems that way.
00:08:50The Horsemen doing everything to put it in their favor as we head into the
00:08:54Slamboree.
00:08:55They want the tag belts back in the worst way.
00:09:00Ray Jr. cannot even enjoy his title.
00:09:07That he wins from psychosis, because it's the Horsemen to wipe him out here on TNT.
00:09:14All the way, we've got a big reminder for you.
00:09:19We've got three goals.
00:09:20Great bunch of action coming tonight.
00:09:23Tonight on Monday Nitro, we've got a four-way hardcore match.
00:09:29That's right.
00:09:30Pac, Horace of NWO Black and White, Mikey Whipwreck, and Brian Knox.
00:09:39The winner will get Bam Bam Bigelow and Slamboree.
00:09:43Four-way hardcore show to come tonight.
00:09:46It has been an unforgettable night.
00:09:53Don't you think so, Matt?
00:09:55We're just trying to catch our breath after those two new world champions being crowned in the matter of what did you say?
00:10:0220, 10, 15, can it?
00:10:04About 15 minutes as we look at Hollywood.
00:10:06We've got an ambulance.
00:10:07Another one as George Reed is this region of the church.
00:10:11He's good enough.
00:10:12We're packing the house.
00:10:13And we're talking about this moment ago.
00:10:15Look at his eyes.
00:10:16You go.
00:10:17We don't have to.
00:10:18We don't have to tell you what he's making.
00:10:20You know what he's making.
00:10:21Well, this has to be one upset individual.
00:10:25Kevin Nash had the title shot at Slamboree.
00:10:29The match was set against Diamond Dallas Page.
00:10:32But as we all just witnessed, Sting just spoiled Kevin Nash's title shot because the match was made.
00:10:39The new champ Sting against Goldberg.
00:10:41Big Sexy's got the mic.
00:10:43Big Sexy's got the match.
00:10:53You know, I just got informed in the back from one of the Charles Robinson Stooge's that at Slamboree the main event now is Sting vs. Goldberg.
00:11:12vs. Goldberg
00:11:13for the World Belt.
00:11:21Somehow, out of all this,
00:11:23somebody must have forgotten that Big Sexy
00:11:25had a title shot at
00:11:27Slammery.
00:11:35Well, let me rest assured
00:11:37that Big Sexy has not
00:11:39forgotten.
00:11:42So, since tonight,
00:11:51Bill Goldberg's
00:11:52in the back.
00:11:53We've already seen Sting
00:11:55and Paige.
00:11:59Big Sexy's
00:12:00definitely in the house.
00:12:09So, Sting, I throw this challenge
00:12:12out to you because without you
00:12:13this doesn't happen tonight.
00:12:16Tonight, in this ring,
00:12:18since the four of us can't seem to work
00:12:19this out, I challenge
00:12:22Goldberg.
00:12:23I challenge
00:12:29Paige.
00:12:31And I challenge you,
00:12:36new champion, Sting,
00:12:37tonight.
00:12:38The four of us have a four-way dance.
00:12:47Whoever gets a pinfall
00:12:48walks out of Fargo,
00:12:50the world champion.
00:12:51Don't worry, I got my gear in the car.
00:13:03Waiting for an answer, boys.
00:13:07It's Slammery.
00:13:09He wants a four-way with a world title on the same program from earlier tonight.
00:13:15The world title battles.
00:13:17That would be unprecedented for Sting
00:13:19to put the belt on the line
00:13:20after winning the title.
00:13:22We'll try to sort it out.
00:13:24Stay back with an answer.
00:13:28Charles.
00:13:29Charles.
00:13:30Charles.
00:13:30I'm here, Rick.

00:13:59All right, brother.
00:13:59Make it, make it.
00:14:02What do you do?
00:14:03What do you do?
00:14:04Get out of the way.
00:14:05Get out of the way.
00:14:05Get out of the way.
00:14:06Get out of the way.
00:14:07You want to have a rustling time?
00:14:09You know I'm Space Mock, right?
00:14:10I need you, boy.
00:14:11I'm a terrible.
00:14:12I am Space Mock.
00:14:13Come on, kid.
00:14:14Get out of the way.
00:14:14I got it.
00:14:15Woo!
00:14:16You got a man!
00:14:17You got a man!
00:14:17You got a man!
00:14:18Grab our tape, baby.
00:14:18Come on.
00:14:19Got a man.
00:14:19Grab our tape.
00:14:20Grab our tape.
00:14:21Woo!
00:14:21You ready, Rick?
00:14:23You ready, Rick?
00:14:24You ready, Rick?
00:14:25Woo!
00:14:25Woo!
00:14:25Woo!
00:14:26Woo!
00:14:26Woo!
00:14:27Woo!
00:14:27Woo!
00:14:28Woo!
00:14:28Woo!
00:14:29Woo!
00:14:34And ladies and gentlemen,
00:14:35still to come tonight on this program,
00:14:37it's gonna be heck, it'll be horrid, ladies and gentlemen, Mikey Whipbrick.
00:14:42And not to be outdone, Ryan Knob, a four-way, hardcore match.
00:14:47The winner to get Bam Bam and Slamberine tonight.
00:15:07Let's get back to Bam Bam.
00:15:17All right, man.
00:15:18Let's get back to Bam Bam.
00:15:19All right, man.
00:15:20I'm gonna be challenged by you.
00:15:22Like Kevin Nash, you know how ready tonight that we have Stun becoming the world champion.
00:15:28He's knocked out his face for the title.
00:15:30We match up at about 845, sort of about a half an hour later, he prevails as the world champ.
00:15:36Nash, who has a deserved title shot coming up at Slamberine, kind of got sidesteped because WCW signed Sting against Goldberg.
00:15:46Now, Kevin Nash demanded that Goldberg himself, Sting and Diamond Dallas Page get together in a four-way match tonight for the world title.
00:15:55We understand that WCW has agreed to that.
00:15:58The only thing we're waiting on is to hear confirmation from the world champion himself, Sting.
00:16:03Basically, that match is now, we're just waiting to hear from Sting, that match is gonna happen here tonight.
00:16:11Well, that would make sense because I'm sure that Kevin Nash and Diamond Dallas Page and
00:16:16He just won the world's heavyweight title, Tony.
00:16:22What was it, about a half an hour ago?
00:16:24Well, actually, less an hour.
00:16:26And to come back out here on the same night, the same Monday Nitro, and
00:16:31put the title back out on the line, well, I don't know.
00:16:34That's something we're gonna have to hear directly from Sting about.
00:16:37All right, it's going to be Bam Bam Bigelow and Eric Watts Bigelow, the self-proclaimed,
00:16:42and rightfully so, King of Hardcore, Mr. Extreme, here in WCW, I guess,
00:16:48a five second generation wrestler in Eric Watts making his wonderful interview, Mike.
00:16:54Well, Eric Watts recently returned to World Championship Wrestling.
00:16:57First appearance on Nitro for the former college football player,
00:17:00former quarterback from Louisville, and doing quite well in the early going
00:17:04against the Beast from the East, Bam Bam Bigelow.
00:17:06And, of course, Bigelow claims he is the King of Hardcore.
00:17:10How about that move to take the big guy out of the Bigelow?
00:17:13The 300 pound frame from Asbury Park just ran right over that former quarterback that time.
00:17:19Here comes Bam Bam up top.
00:17:21Now remember, Bigelow's gonna find a man to go against him in a Hardcore match at
00:17:28Shamboree.
00:17:29It could be Horse.
00:17:30It could be Hack.
00:17:32It could be Brian Nobs.
00:17:33It could be Lucky Whipwreck.
00:17:35There's no way to Hardcore match tonight.
00:17:39But there's the biggest imaginary card.
00:17:41And you can put this one away in about three minutes or so.
00:17:45Bigelow.
00:17:46Little burst of offense from Eric Watts at the opening bell, but then it was all Bam Bam Bigelow.
00:17:51A one way trip to the Garden State for Eric Watts as Bigelow connects with the greetings from Asbury Park.
00:17:58Take care of him.
00:18:00So he awaits that third corner Hardcore match.
00:18:03He's gonna come tonight.
00:18:05The Hollywood television title will be on the line here tonight.
00:18:09An update from Hollywood Hogan on his surgery and how he's doing his result.
00:18:14And here's the replay again, Mike.
00:18:16There it is.
00:18:17The greetings from Asbury Park delivered by Bigelow to Eric Watts.
00:18:20The hook of the leg, the three count.
00:18:21And you're right, at this point, Bigelow awaits the four-way Hardcore match later this evening.
00:18:26And let's take you now to meet Gene Okerlund, Gene.
00:18:30All right, it's time.
00:18:32What is the name?
00:18:34The target on the target on the target.
00:18:35The fans coming to fall for the Uppercut West.
00:18:38This is my most common rounds.
00:18:40And I don't mind telling you that they took my eyes tonight and
00:18:44three crowned a new WCW World Heavyweight Champion.
00:18:48Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Sting.
00:18:53Well, obviously, it will happen a little more than you're on here, Sting.
00:19:20And these fans in agreement with you, a big victory over Diamond Dallas Page.
00:19:24But now, all of a sudden, Kevin Nash is coming out and making stipulations.
00:19:29He's talking about a four-way match with your title on the line.
00:19:33I said it a few weeks ago, and I'll say it again tonight.
00:19:36I am back.
00:19:41I am back in black.
00:19:45Being back and being back in black.
00:19:48Kevin Nash, you want me tonight for the world title?
00:19:52Just so there's no more whining going on in the dressing room in the back,
00:19:57I'm gonna say yes, I want you too.
00:20:02So Goldberg, DDP, Nash, the Stinger, did you think I would say no?
00:20:10Not a chance.
00:20:12I'll see you later on tonight.
00:20:14All right, it is gonna be a busy, busy night for this young man.
00:20:17Sting is the new champion.
00:20:19Diamond Dallas Page involved in a four-way along with Goldberg and Kevin Nash.
00:20:23Gonna blow the top off here.
00:20:24Cody, back to you, my friend.
00:20:26So there it is, Gene.
00:20:27We knew Sting would say yes.
00:20:29It does now final, unprecedented, two world title bouts in one night.
00:20:34Tonight, Goldberg, the new world champion Sting, Kevin Nash,
00:20:38former champ DDP, four corners match for the world title.
00:20:43Who will it be?
00:20:44Who will win?
00:20:45We'll find out later on tonight live.
00:21:08The next Monday Night Show is on the website following next Monday Night Show.
00:21:15The site will feature photo galleries.
00:21:16I repeat, in all capital letters, photo galleries.
00:21:20And we've got it all on.
00:21:21Bio.
00:21:22What are you doing?
00:21:23Where are you going?
00:21:24Where are you going?
00:21:25Where are you going?
00:21:26Where are you going?
00:21:27Next Monday Night Show is not to show it.
00:21:31Come on back for the details next week.
00:21:33Yadda, yadda, yadda.
00:21:35Well, now that puts me at 24 hours a day on the internet.
00:21:38Now, what am I going to do?
00:21:40You'll find something to do right now.
00:21:43Wow.
00:21:44And also, before this world television title back in center legs,
00:21:48congratulations to Jerry Nadeau.
00:21:51He finished eighth in the Die Hard Five Hump yesterday at Talladega.
00:21:55All right, Jerry.
00:21:56All up by 20.
00:21:59Yes!
00:22:00Well, we've got this world television title back out.
00:22:16I don't want to take anything away from it.
00:22:18But can you stop it?
00:22:20Well, you've got one, baby.
00:22:21Spargo.
00:22:22And you dig it right there.
00:22:24Come on.
00:22:25Yes!
00:22:26I will back to you one night.
00:22:28It is a historic night show, isn't it?
00:22:30You like to say it?
00:22:31Go right ahead.
00:22:32It is.
00:22:33The greatest Monday Night Show we have ever had.
00:22:37I might even agree with you.
00:22:39Yeah, you agree with me now.
00:22:40I mean, you'll talk bad about me tomorrow.
00:22:42But I can tell you it's gotta be one of the greatest.
00:22:44I mean, can you ever remember two world title matches one night?
00:22:49Go ahead, Sam.
00:22:50No, wait.
00:22:51Don't shake.
00:22:52Are you kidding?
00:22:53I didn't know if you were talking or not.
00:22:55Well, you're shaking your head no and you gotta say no on TV.
00:22:58They can't see you shaking your head no unless they have the camera on.
00:23:02You know what?
00:23:03We've got four way fever.
00:23:05We have two four way matches yet to come play.
00:23:08You know what else?
00:23:09The Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:23:11Reinstated by a man who's been arrested.
00:23:14Rowdy Rowdy Piper.
00:23:15Now, has he been reinstated for tonight only?
00:23:18Or is that, you know, because he, remember-
00:23:20I never thought of that.
00:23:21Charles Robinson and Gorgeous George are to wrestle at Slamboree.
00:23:24Right.
00:23:25And if Gorgeous George wins, then he gets reinstated, so.
00:23:28Maybe it's just for one night, the reinstatement.
00:23:32Whatever, he's gonna go against Big Papa Pup, Scott Steiner.
00:23:36That's right, Randy Savage and Scott Steiner tonight for the US title.
00:23:40An update on Hollywood Hogan surgery.
00:23:42The four way title match for the world title.
00:23:45Goldberg, DDP, Kevin Nash, the new champion.
00:23:48Staying in the four way hard core match.
00:23:52And now, bonus is for the championship title.
00:23:55Booker T, he is a great champion.
00:23:59I have no question, but he's running into a real mountain of a monster in being here.
00:24:04Booker T and his favorite winning streak now several months with the world's TV title.
00:24:09After winning it uncensored, power of Bing just overpowered.
00:24:14Big shoulder power, flying forward, took down Ming.
00:24:18That doesn't happen very often.
00:24:19One thing about Booker T, he is maybe, many people would say,
00:24:25and everybody had their own opinion about who the greatest athlete in our sport is.
00:24:30Booker T being pound for pound, maybe the best athlete.
00:24:35Combination of quickness and power and agility, but also perseverance.
00:24:40A lot of times, you measure a great athlete not necessarily by their physical attributes,
00:24:45but by their perseverance, their tenacity, their heart, and their determination.
00:24:49And of course, you also measure it by their list of accomplishments.
00:24:52And that's a long list of IT with a lot of world tag team and
00:24:56world television championship reigns under his belt.
00:24:59But the onslaught of the monster Ming has the champion in trouble in the corner.
00:25:04Back to the corner.
00:25:09And a nice job.
00:25:11Take him out of the corner, take him out of the corner.
00:25:16Methodical offense displayed by Ming, but you can't argue about the effectiveness of it.
00:25:21Another high pitch shot.
00:25:23Let him out of the corner.
00:25:28Ming struck him now.
00:25:30Booker T.
00:25:31He continues to hold him down.
00:25:34Ming is just an incredible object.
00:25:37You can tell you that, Millie Silverman checks out.
00:25:40The referee warning Ming to get out of the corner.
00:25:43And now, Bill, he needs a fight momentarily.
00:25:46And Emily Booker T to sidestep it.
00:25:48300 plus pounds of Ming up into the air.
00:25:52Gonna do it again.
00:25:53Scoop!
00:25:54Mid-ring slam.
00:26:01Forearm to the face, into the corner.
00:26:03And he runs a full power slam from Ming.
00:26:08Could be a new champion.
00:26:10No, he just didn't get the right shoulder up in the air.
00:26:13In the nick of time.
00:26:1418 for the ceiling of time.
00:26:16Watch, man.
00:26:17We've got Ric Flair confined to a mental institution.
00:26:23Charles Robinson in charge.
00:26:26What do you think about that?
00:26:27And Rodgers, Piper, the commissioner, made a big match, and
00:26:31he was arrested tonight.
00:26:32Piper turned a missile at Samboree over control of WCW.
00:26:36A 4-4 world title match still to come tonight.
00:26:39Samboree on the horizon.
00:26:41Who's gonna go to Samboree, the world champ?
00:26:43We'll find out tonight, one of those four competitors will go to Samboree,
00:26:49with the world's heavyweight championship to be defended on May the 9th in St. Louis.
00:26:55This is all part of WCW Monday Nitro, and the great action that we've had for you here tonight.
00:27:02For our fans in Greenville, South Carolina, the Bilow Center.
00:27:07Monday Nitro on Monday, May 24th.
00:27:09Tickets to the box office and all usual outlets.
00:27:12This great wrestling action tonight at Fargo coming to Greenville, South Carolina.
00:27:16There's the axe kick in the back of the net.
00:27:18He just felled that big tree by the name of Ming with the axe kick with authority.
00:27:23Can he put him away?
00:27:28Putting offensive moves, and the ball.
00:27:31The Harlem side kick, or a spin wheel kick, if you will, caught Ming, and Ming catches Billy Silverman.
00:27:37Now what's gonna happen?
00:27:42Getting Booker T credit going, staying with his offense here.
00:27:46Maintaining his focus, that's so important.
00:27:48He's almost winning.
00:27:53Stevie Wonder, the leader of NWO black and white.
00:28:00He calmly walks to the ring, no referee to make a count.
00:28:03And a case can be made right there to Booker T.
00:28:06Come on, man.
00:28:07The title on that exchange.
00:28:08But that's all for not.
00:28:09You have to go back to the attack, because here comes Ming again.
00:28:12Concentration level still there for Booker T.
00:28:18Ming able to duck out of the way of the side kick.
00:28:21He's gone to the target death kick.
00:28:23Here it comes.
00:28:26Got him.
00:28:27He's got him.
00:28:29Stevie Ray has hit the ring, and Stevie Ray has taken a slapjack and
00:28:35walked Ming.
00:28:37Ming is out.
00:28:38The referee's over, he's out.
00:28:42Two, three.
00:28:44Booker T has hit the runner.
00:28:47He's still the television champion.
00:28:50Stevie Ray looking out for his brother, but I'm not sure that Booker T even has any idea that Stevie Ray played such an important part of the match.
00:28:57Here comes Rick Steiner.
00:28:59Rick Steiner has come down, and Rick Steiner immediately ducks out of the way of Stevie Ray.
00:29:06And Rick Steiner is hammering Stevie Ray in the corner.
00:29:10Booker T got through his feet.
00:29:12Booker T pulls Rick Steiner over his brother.
00:29:16Booker T has no idea that Stevie Ray is helping him with this match.
00:29:29All right, it's hot in the ring, and it's hot on the WCW hotline.
00:29:33Right up until midnight Eastern, Tony.
00:29:35My detailed Week in Review report, news scoops from every corner of the wrestling world, as well as the news of several wrestlers returning.
00:29:43They've been sidelined for a while, but they're back.
00:29:47Get all those details right now on the WCW hotline.
00:29:50Get out of here.
00:29:51Call it now.
00:29:54Referee Silverman tries to still separate these two.
00:29:58The argument ensues between these two.
00:30:02Rick Steiner and Booker T.
00:30:05And ladies and gentlemen, tonight, four corners for the world title.
00:30:10Goldberg, Sting, Diamond Dallas Page, and this man, Big Sexy Kevin Nash tonight.
00:30:18Dan, six are they going to win.
00:30:22Oh, no!
00:30:44We talked about it earlier that Diamond Dallas Page was the man who
00:30:51hurt Hunter with Hogan, put him out of action,
00:30:55it all went down, and then Mets,
00:30:59mineral Mets that he had, Spring Stampede.
00:31:02Mike, tonight, joining with me here, we'll go back and
00:31:06read the moment for Jeff and Spring Stampede.
00:31:09Now, this really was when the reign of terror for Diamond Dallas Page began.
00:31:13You see, he takes Hollywood Hogan's legs, knees, wraps it around the steel,
00:31:17pulls it up, flies.
00:31:18That, of course, happened at Spring Stampede.
00:31:23It's still to come tonight.
00:31:24Diamond Dallas Page, new champion Sting, Goldberg, Kevin Nash,
00:31:28four corners for the world title.
00:31:30But let's talk about Hollywood Hogan, surgery on Tuesday.
00:31:33Yeah, it was six days ago, Tony, that Hollywood Hogan went to Birmingham, Alabama,
00:31:37and the offices of the famed sports doctor James Andrews to have that surgery.
00:31:42The WCW camera crews were there to detail all the activities of Hollywood Hogan's surgery.
00:31:48Certainly are thinking about Hollywood Hogan.
00:31:51They're calling you weasel, right?
00:31:53We know that.
00:31:54Maybe like an honorary weasel for the night.
00:31:56Yes, or maybe for the year.
00:31:58All right, let's go to what we're talking about, the surgery to Hollywood Hogan and
00:32:02his condition has been helping this past Tuesday in Birmingham, Alabama.
00:32:12You know, Hollywood got hurt a couple of weeks ago.
00:32:14I think it was either Sunday or Monday night, wrestling.
00:32:17And the injury he had recently was a tear to the outside knee cartilage and tore off a piece of,
00:32:25a flap of it that had his knee so he really couldn't walk on it.
00:32:29And if you look at his x-ray here, this is a weight-bearing view.
00:32:33And you see the outside of his knee joint is real narrowed.
00:32:38It's amazing he was able to do everything he's done for the past so many years.
00:32:48This is it, man. Let's get it done.
00:32:52Still seems like the wrong move.
00:32:54No, it's not.
00:32:55I mean, no matter what, no matter how you feel, you can't get anything done if your wheel isn't right.
00:33:00Man, he tried to put you out.
00:33:01Don't let him win.
00:33:02Get in here, get the damn thing fixed and get it over with.
00:33:06You know, if you're talking about priorities, I think that Paige should be taken care of first
00:33:11and then my leg second, because I can take care of Paige with a bad leg.
00:33:16Think about the future.
00:33:17Think about the long-term.
00:33:18Don't think about the short-term.
00:33:19Paige is going to be around.
00:33:20You heard what Nash said last night, man.
00:33:21He said he's going to take care of family business.
00:33:23What Paige did to your knee, Nash is going to do to his back.
00:33:28Let Nash take care of the business.
00:33:29This time you take care of yourself.
00:33:31Paige is going to be there for you.
00:33:33Get healthy first, man.
00:33:34I'm serious.
00:33:36You mean too much to the company.
00:33:37You mean too much to this industry.
00:33:39You've got too big of a future ahead of you to risk it on a bad wheel.
00:33:43Don't do it.
00:33:44It's a mistake.
00:33:45I know when I'm right in Hollywood.
00:33:46This time I know I'm right.
00:33:47I've been taking your advice all these years.
00:33:49Take mine this time, man.
00:33:51Well, that almost works for me, but it's not the same as getting my hands on Paige.
00:33:55But if Big Kev's going to do it for me, brother, it's in the pack.
00:33:58That's all that matters.
00:33:59Let's get it done.
00:34:00Let's just get it over with.
00:34:02You'll be back up and running before you know it.
00:34:06The kind of condition you're in, the way you know how to train, you know the deal.
00:34:10This whole deal doesn't seem right, but I've always followed your lead.
00:34:15Here we go one more time.
00:34:17I trust you, man.
00:34:18Just one more time.
00:34:19I definitely trust you.
00:34:20This guy's the best in the world.
00:34:22He's the best there is at what he does.
00:34:24Your brother's up here if I didn't stop putting him in here today.
00:34:27Yeah.
00:34:28Gotta get it fixed.
00:34:31Five dollars pay me, I'm gonna beat you like I owe you when I see you.
00:34:34Like I owe you when I see you next time.
00:34:36Ha ha ha!
00:34:37Here's right here.
00:34:39Where?
00:34:40Spurring.
00:34:57That's why we fix all these things.
00:34:59You appreciate the amount of things.
00:35:01They don't have hell down the road.
00:35:03He had a lot of wear, as we said, on the outer half of his knee joint, as you can see with the narrowing of these two bones.
00:35:10Really got his knee out near full extension, which was one of the goals we hoped to accomplish.
00:35:15And, of course, that loss of motion and extension had been there for years.
00:35:19This was a fairly worn knee that's been through a lot of athletic activities.
00:35:23So we're gonna see him on the sidelines for a while.
00:35:26Keeping Hollywood under wraps, so to speak, or contained as far as what he can do is gonna be a big question.
00:35:32And one of our primary goals, he's used to putting up with a lot of pain in his knee joint, and consequently, he'll tend to push himself.
00:35:42And with a good athlete as he is, he'll wanna exercise to probably a higher degree than what he's capable of.
00:35:49And that will have deleterious effects on the knee joint.
00:35:52Ladies and gentlemen, coming up next, we're gonna break it loose in the ring.
00:35:58It's a four-corner Hardcore match.
00:36:01Pass for the gorgeous Chassidy.
00:36:03Taurus will be coming out here on Taurus Hogan.
00:36:06Mikey Whipwreck, not to be outdone.
00:36:09And Brian Knobb, the winner in the four-corner Hardcore match gets Fan Fan Bigelow May 9th at Slammery.
00:36:15Stay with us.
00:36:20Charles.
00:36:21Hey, Rick.
00:36:22Hey, brother.
00:36:23Hey, this show is dynamite tonight, brother.
00:36:25It is action-packed.
00:36:26How about that stuff with Steiner and Booker T?
00:36:28Oh, yeah.
00:36:29Brother, I want you to book that for Slammery.
00:36:32Rick Steiner versus Booker T at Slammery.
00:36:35Steiner and Booker T.
00:36:37Am I the greatest president of all time?
00:36:39Yeah.
00:36:40Am I the greatest president of the company?
00:36:41You are the greatest, Rick.
00:36:42The greatest.
00:36:43Well, one more thing.
00:36:44One more thing.
00:36:45Make that four-way match tonight.
00:36:48No disqualification.
00:36:50There must be a winner.
00:36:52There must be a world champion.
00:36:54Can you do it, Charles?
00:36:55I can do it.
00:36:56No DQ.
00:36:57Charles.
00:36:58Must be a winner.
00:36:59I'll get back to you later, brother.
00:37:00All right.
00:37:01How about a AAA?
00:37:02I'll be back to you.
00:37:03Isaac.
00:37:04Here, Isaac.
00:37:05Let me show you.
00:37:06This is the stuff that drives me a little while, brother.
00:37:07I'm going to get you some soul, man.
00:37:08It's called a 10-11 shovel.
00:37:09Come on, brother.
00:37:10Woo!
00:37:11Come on, man.
00:37:12You got it?
00:37:13You got it, brother.
00:37:14Come on.
00:37:15Hey, man.
00:37:16You got it, Isaac?
00:37:17Show me some soul, man.
00:37:18Get some rhythm.
00:37:19Get some rhythm.
00:37:20Ooh!
00:37:22Ooh!
00:37:23Ooh!
00:37:24That's a man!
00:37:25That's a man!
00:37:26That's a man!
00:37:28Back to the arena.
00:37:29The bell sounds.
00:37:30It is hardcore mayhem.
00:37:32They are gonna have it right now.
00:37:34They all got kendo sticks.
00:37:36Yes, they do.
00:37:37And Hack is out of the ring.
00:37:39There you see Kors, Mikey Ripley, and Brian Nobbs.
00:37:43Hack has arrived.
00:37:45Cassidy is there.
00:37:46She has a whole card load of gimmicks, and who knows what's gonna happen there.
00:37:50And welcome to the ring, Hack.
00:37:54Almost as if Hack is just challenging them to hit, and they oblige.
00:37:59Oh, Brian Nobbs just nailed Mikey Whipwrap.
00:38:03Let's not forget the winner, or should I say the survivor of this,
00:38:09goes on to Slamboree to face Bam Bam Bigelow.
00:38:13And Bam Bam Bigelow is the reigning king of hardcore.
00:38:16So this is a number one contender's match in order to face the man who claims that he is the toughest of all the extreme competitors.
00:38:25There's the ladder.
00:38:28And why not?
00:38:30What would one of these things be without the ladder?
00:38:34No bricks.
00:38:37Horace.
00:38:39Whipwrap.
00:38:41Horace.
00:38:43Whipwrap.
00:38:45Those are like ladder lariats.
00:38:47Ladder clotheslines from Master Brian Nobbs.
00:38:50And Brian Nobbs throws it across the back of Hack.
00:38:55Big splash onto the ladder, onto Hack.
00:39:00To try to get the win, he's got, no he couldn't, but it was very close.
00:39:08It doesn't take too long for someone to slow down in one of these matches, and understandably so.
00:39:19And they've got a whole basket full of things they could use, and they've never gotten to them yet.
00:39:24And I'm told, we've got to make that a full pit stop here.
00:39:29We've got to step out for a commercial break.
00:39:34Not now.
00:39:35And what is going on here, don't you?
00:39:38Look at that one.
00:39:39The tape machines are rolling.
00:39:41Come on back.
00:39:42Well, here we are.
00:39:48And yes, they are beating each other with all types of things that have arrived in the ring.
00:39:54A big old surge container has come in.
00:39:57Trashcans are everywhere.
00:40:00Kendo sticks right now have been put down.
00:40:02There's chair in the ring, and-
00:40:05You're right.
00:40:06It seemed to be the weapon of choice.
00:40:08Look out, Tony, there goes one bouncing right by us.
00:40:11All right, that was down there, Mike.
00:40:13Oh!
00:40:14How about that?
00:40:15Grown up against the shoulder of Hack.
00:40:18That-
00:40:19That ladder in Hack and Van Bigelow waits in the rings for the winner of this.
00:40:26Nasty Brian Knobbs has been back in World Championship Wrestling for a week, and
00:40:30he's found a perfect fit in this hardcore division.
00:40:33Oh!
00:40:36Oh!
00:40:37Whipbrick tried to get up.
00:40:39Oh, he just got a face full of trash can from Horst.
00:40:44Wait a minute.
00:40:49Hack's got a table.
00:40:52Oh, does he ever look at Knobbs on the other side?
00:40:55He's got that-
00:40:58Oh!
00:40:59That trash can or that cart.
00:41:03What was that all about?
00:41:08That was off camera, but Horst picked up that trash can.
00:41:11He was-
00:41:12Thought he was gonna hit me.
00:41:13Yeah, he was after you.
00:41:14He doesn't like you at all.
00:41:15Meanwhile, the table has been perched between the, obviously, the apron and
00:41:20the safety rim.
00:41:21How about that big foot from Horst?
00:41:24That runs in the family.
00:41:26Touch it up, and it wiped out Whipbrick.
00:41:29Remember, any man can win it by pinball or submission.
00:41:34I tell you, does anybody really tear better than Brian Knobbs?
00:41:42No.
00:41:43Meanwhile, a spectacular move.
00:41:45Good, good attempt by Mikey Whipbrick.
00:41:49But those wrestling moves are not gonna work.
00:41:52Chasley, if you wanna sit up here with us, you can.
00:41:54Yes, you can be here.
00:41:56Sit right here.
00:41:57You're more than welcome to sit with us.
00:41:58I know it's pretty intense in the ring right now.
00:42:01Very intense in the ring.
00:42:06Steel chair to the back of Knobbs and pulled by Hack and a guillotine leg drop by Mikey.
00:42:11Now that the table remains there, obviously, Hack has designed to maybe a body drop someone on that table.
00:42:21The amazing thing about this is not the extent that they will go to to win a match.
00:42:30But they all can continue to wrestle the very next night or even the next week.
00:42:36Here's a cover.
00:42:37Hogan could win it.
00:42:38Horse only got a two.
00:42:40Just incredible resiliency on the part of these athletes, especially those that compete in the hardcore division.
00:42:47Which is obviously catching on because the first time we've seen Horse in this division compete under these types of rules.
00:42:56There are no rules.
00:42:57I don't think so.
00:42:58One, two.
00:42:59Knobbs almost gotta win.
00:43:00Under this type of mayhem.
00:43:04Obliteration or whatever.
00:43:06Now there goes the table now into the ring.
00:43:10Meanwhile, Knobbs is popping the ladder up.
00:43:13You have to improvise here.
00:43:15You obviously cannot get with any type of strategy at all.
00:43:18You just gotta say, if I don't get whacked hard enough, I'll just stay in it.
00:43:21Yeah, you have to throw any game plans out the window because there's no way you can prepare.
00:43:28One thing we know we're seeing four of the toughest men you'll ever find anywhere in any sport.
00:43:34And remember what they're fighting for.
00:43:36A shot at Bam Bam Bigelow up front of a slam dunk.
00:43:40And the winner will be recognized as the king of hardcore.
00:43:44Hack's got the fire extinguisher from Chastity.
00:43:47How did he get it, Troy?
00:43:49And now he's got the ball.
00:43:53He's got the fire extinguisher in the eyes.
00:43:58Now he's standing on the table at the mercy of Hack.
00:44:08Over the top.
00:44:11Horace moves in the nick of time.
00:44:15Horace is able to avoid that contact.
00:44:18Hack just hit the table at home.
00:44:20Meanwhile, calling Mikey Wipeout.
00:44:27Now it's blocked and nicely closed.
00:44:31He may have blocked the fire extinguisher, could not block the kendo stick.
00:44:35And a kendo stick delivered right into the trash can, which then bounced into the face of Brian Knox.
00:44:40Hack's got the ladder set up.
00:44:46And now Hack goes to the table.
00:44:50You know, this Hack is a bizarre man.
00:44:53I mean, Hack, you listen to him in the locker room area.
00:44:57He talks a hundred miles an hour.
00:44:59He is hardcore every step of the way.
00:45:02He's got Wick right on the table.
00:45:04He's gliding around.
00:45:06He's cybersaulting off the top of the ladder right through the table.
00:45:09With Mikey in place, and there comes Brian Knox with a trash can.
00:45:13So what is Knox gonna do?
00:45:15He's gonna go for the ladder.
00:45:17This is so dangerous.
00:45:23Covering Whitbrick with a ladder and Brian Knox is the winner of the Hard Carbets.
00:45:35Brian Knox and Van Damme Bigelow to go at it at Slammering.
00:45:41The gates of Nastyville have now been open.
00:45:45So get ready to feel the taste of nasty sensation.
00:45:51Okay, that was a sensation, I guess, in many ways.
00:45:56Whoa, what a wild four-way that was.
00:46:01Coming up next, the Macho Man back in action against Big Papa Pump.
00:46:08We welcome you back.
00:46:11Big Papa Pump has arrived.
00:46:13He's got the stick.
00:46:15He's in the ring and whatever he wants, we do.
00:46:18I got a message for you, Roddy Roddy Piper.
00:46:26Real men don't wear skirts.
00:46:31And I'm in the NWO, and I don't take anything from the WCW officials.
00:46:38I do what I want to do.
00:46:41But I like that matchup with the Macho Man.
00:46:45Because Macho Man, if you beat me, you're the newest champ.
00:46:51But if I beat you, I get to take your freak and
00:46:56show her what it's like to be with a real Macho Man.
00:47:01Well, I'm making those stipulations as it goes.
00:47:06So Macho Man, if you want to take on the man with the largest arms in the world,
00:47:13get your butt down here, cuz I'm gonna trash you.
00:47:18Action like we've seen tonight is only available in WCW.
00:47:25Like on Thursday, April 29th at the Bryce Jordan Center in Penn State.
00:47:30Thursday, May 13th, Kansas, Coliseum, and Wichita.
00:47:34And Thursday, May 27th, the Charleston, South Carolina, the North Charleston Coliseum.
00:47:39Tickets for all those events and all usual outlets.
00:47:41Those are all thunder dates like today.
00:47:43I'll be there.
00:47:44You'll be there.
00:47:45You'll be there along with the living legend of the Orange of Wisconsin.
00:47:49And here comes the Macho Man, Rami Savage.
00:47:52And also, a huge star now.
00:47:55May 7th, the big thing, because tickets go on sale for Monday Night for the Astros.
00:48:00On Monday Night, going first.
00:48:02And Monday Night, going back at the Torky Zone.
00:48:05On Monday Night Night, tickets available next Friday.
00:48:08And both the box offices of Ticket Network.
00:48:11Goldbergs, gonna be at the aftermarket in Massachusetts,
00:48:1410 AM next Friday.
00:48:16And you're looking at right now the Macho Man Randy Savage,
00:48:20gorgeous George Colby.
00:48:22And the children of the box office next Friday on Tickets on sale.
00:48:26Tony, you talked about two great domes.
00:48:29Houston and Atlanta upcoming.
00:48:34And the Macho Man Randy Savage makes his way to the ring.
00:48:37This is a return to action for Savage.
00:48:40Remember when he came back as the special referee at Spring Stampede?
00:48:45It's back in June of 1998 when we last saw the Macho Man in acting competition.
00:48:52The Macho Man bringing in Gorgeous George and another Gorgeous Lady.
00:48:59Do whatever you want, big guy.
00:49:08Who's the other lady with the Macho Man Randy Savage?
00:49:12I don't know, I miss Madness, is that what that said right there?
00:49:15Trying to avoid Big Papa Pump out here.
00:49:18I like the, look, Charles Robinson's coming in the ring.
00:49:23What's this about?
00:49:29He has run the referee, Billy Stubberman, off, and Charles Robinson,
00:49:34who's been on a big power trip, is gonna referee this match at Street Coast.
00:49:38Well, he has the power of attorney.
00:49:40He's running the organization.
00:49:42He can do this.
00:49:43He's the special referee.
00:49:45Now let's not forget the personal vendetta
00:49:50between Charles Robinson and Gorgeous George, who is Gorgeous.
00:49:57We're talking about dropped dead Gorgeous there on the sidelines.
00:50:03And Robinson points at her, and now this one for the United States Heavyweight Championship,
00:50:08live on Monday Nitro, where still to come four men in a full title world title bout here tonight.
00:50:16Four men by the name of Diamond Dallas Page, Kevin Nash, Goldberg,
00:50:20and the new World Heavyweight Champion, Sting, who will put the belt on the line tonight,
00:50:25the same night that he won the championship.
00:50:27First time in the history of professional wrestling, and it's all here.
00:50:30And there's a lot of, uh-oh, a lot of jawing going on, and Steiner paying a little bit more attention
00:50:37to the ladies at ringside than he is Savage right now.
00:50:40Ooh, the Macho Man looks great, doesn't he?
00:50:44It's been such a long time since we've seen him in the ring, but look how great shape that he's in.
00:50:48Look at the arms and the chest of Randy Savage.
00:50:51He looks on to Scott Steiner.
00:50:56Get out of here, break, close.
00:50:58Robinson calls for the break in the corner.
00:51:00What are you doing?
00:51:03Savage.
00:51:04Reading the bell.
00:51:05What?
00:51:06What are we?
00:51:10Robinson's gonna just follow by Savage from that.
00:51:13What, that incidental contact?
00:51:15Am I reading into that?
00:51:19He's gonna disqualify Randy Savage from incidental contact.
00:51:38Who was that?
00:51:43That's Medusa.
00:51:44Medusa rolls Robinson in to Gorgeous George.
00:51:51Uh-oh.
00:51:54We're gonna get a little bit more than we bargained for here.
00:51:57We're gonna pants him too?
00:51:59Well, he is the little nature boy now, isn't he?
00:52:03Come on, let's go.
00:52:04So, he'll take his pants on, I guess.
00:52:06Let's go.
00:52:07Now, remember what the Macho Man said.
00:52:11Look at that, he's got the same underwear that Flair had last week.
00:52:16Look at that, he's got Ford and Gator.
00:52:18Gator boxers.
00:52:19Yes.
00:52:20There it is.
00:52:23The nature boy and the Gator boxers.
00:52:26What are you doing?
00:52:27What are you guys doing?
00:52:28What are you guys doing?
00:52:29I'm the vice president.
00:52:31Vice president.
00:52:32I'm the judge here.
00:52:33I'm the judge here.
00:52:34I'm the judge.
00:52:35That's, Medusa, who's been training Gorgeous George, comes to ringside.
00:52:40What are you doing?
00:52:41And the acting vice president is embarrassed.
00:52:42What are you doing?
00:52:43I'm gonna get you to the slave.
00:52:44Look at that.
00:52:45You have to deal with me again.
00:52:46Wow, we're loving this.
00:52:52We are having such a grand time on Night Raw, and we are not done yet.
00:52:58Still to come, four corners of a world heavyweight title.
00:53:02You wanna be on TV?
00:53:04You can't.
00:53:05All right.
00:53:06We have now, we saw Gorgeous George in the ring.
00:53:09Yes, we did it.
00:53:10We saw Medusa with the kickoff.
00:53:12My God.
00:53:13Medusa has been training Gorgeous George, preparing for the match coming up at Slamboree.
00:53:18And as we found out last week, Medusa feels like she can make the difference.
00:53:23The Macho Man Randy Savage realizes there's so much at stake upcoming at Slamboree that he's gone out and hired Medusa to train Gorgeous George.
00:53:31Medusa obviously has been, many people feel, and rightfully so, the greatest woman's champion ever.
00:53:37I would agree with that.
00:53:38She's one of the toughest ever.
00:53:39Here's a look at the training video of Gorgeous George.
00:53:42Gorgeous George.
00:53:43Come on, come on!
00:53:44Come on!
00:53:45Come on!
00:53:46I love him!
00:53:47What up, Mach?
00:53:48Oh yeah!
00:53:50Let's go.
00:54:20May 9th will be a long night.
00:54:39Charles Robinson coming up next.
00:54:42Golfer, the new world champion stand.
00:54:44Big six and Kevin Ake with the cover champ DDP.
00:54:48It'll be a four-pointer match.
00:54:50It'll be the world heavyweight title and it's only on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:54:56Stay with us, the four-pointer match is coming up.
00:54:59No disqualification.
00:55:00Next.
00:55:01We are on the threshold of history.
00:55:07For the first time in professional wrestling,
00:55:11a world champ has won the title in the program.
00:55:16They will defend it later on in the same program.
00:55:19It's gonna happen right now.
00:55:21And how about this man's situation?
00:55:24Diamond Dallas Page walked into Fargo, North Dakota as the world's heavyweight champion.
00:55:30Well, what would you say, Tony, about an hour and a half ago?
00:55:33Now he's in the role of the challenger with a chance to get the championship back.
00:55:38World's heavyweight title on the line, four-pointer match, no disqualification.
00:55:43There must be a winner.
00:55:46Diamond Dallas Page more than willing to agree to it.
00:55:51Obviously, when Kevin Nash came out and made the challenge by himself, Goldberg, Page, and Sting,
00:55:58the one wildcard there was Sting who had just won it.
00:56:02But the fighting champion we always knew that Sting was and is readily agreed to this match.
00:56:08Hard to predict what's gonna happen, who's gonna prevail, but I would think that just on the surface,
00:56:15because Goldberg and Nash have not wrestled, they would be someone of a favorite in this matchup.
00:56:21Well, I know about incentive as we hear the music of the NWO.
00:56:26And for Big Sexy Kevin Nash, the incentive comes on two fronts.
00:56:31Not only does he have an opportunity to win the World's Heavyweight Championship belt tonight,
00:56:35but he also has a chance to gain a little revenge, a little payback for Diamond Dallas Page,
00:56:41and the incentive to suffer by Hollywood.
00:56:44He was never going to succeed to go tonight.
00:56:46But Kevin Nash also promised that he would break the back of Diamond Dallas Page.
00:56:53We were all stunned when a week ago Nash came in.
00:56:58We thought Goldberg was in trouble, but he helped Goldberg.
00:57:01And no one's really been able to explain that, why that happened.
00:57:05I guess it was much as willing to get back at D.D.P.
00:57:09We're already getting a home and do much anything else.
00:57:11Remains a mystery exactly about the actions of this man in the past one week ago.
00:57:18Maybe we'll find out more times in this sport with that, because
00:57:23Goldberg and Kane are also the ball.
00:57:27Remember, as Mike Kamei said right before the break,
00:57:30we do understand, my WCW officials, that this match is no discrimination,
00:57:36but this could be a winner.
00:57:39So we are going to either have Stan or obtain the world title
00:57:43in the same poor battle that you wanted,
00:57:45or there could be a new all-tip before we do it now.
00:57:51There it is.
00:57:57The most awesome action in all, and I repeat, in all, the perfection of his life.
00:58:02I'm sorry, for my sake, I know he reads,
00:58:13and now he's from the general of a most incredible athlete,
00:58:19with a speed.
00:58:21But even to see Goldberg that's supporting the ring
00:58:23has to be an Platte limit.
00:58:25Another chance to move her to break the bong that went down in Starr King.
00:58:31He's part of this throwaway matchup, World's title and Sting,
00:58:35yes, there must be a winner.
00:58:37No one has fallen, but at least they can let it all hang out.
00:58:41You can believe they're gonna let it all hang out because the World Heavyweight
00:58:45Championship, the same title that first came about in 1905,
00:58:49will be on the line here tonight.
00:58:53Sting has been champion before.
00:58:55His return to WCW back on the 29th of March.
00:58:59We knew he would be in the title hunt.
00:59:01We didn't know it would take long, but not a month for Sting to regain the belt.
00:59:06But on his biggest night, one of his biggest nights,
00:59:09he comes back out to defend the title.
00:59:12A true epitome of a fighting champion.
00:59:15That's the man who made headlines earlier this evening,
00:59:18when he defeated Diamond Dallas Page to win the WCW World's Heavyweight title.
00:59:24Not afraid to put him back on the line in the fourth quarter matchup.
00:59:28We are so glad you're with us.
00:59:38Good morning night.
00:59:41You'll be hooked on to WCW Monday Night Club.
00:59:45He's been called the franchise of World Championship Wrestling.
00:59:49And he sure looks the part when that heavyweight belt around his waist.
00:59:53Well, he was called the franchise because if you think about the history of WCW,
00:59:57and the evolving of WCW, which is a major power in professional wrestling.
01:00:02Dave was always there.
01:00:03He was always the leader.
01:00:05But now the great athletes surround Sting.
01:00:08Gilbert, Nash, Diamond Dallas Page.
01:00:12One man will walk out the World Heavyweight Champion.
01:00:16Who will it be?
01:00:17Randy Anderson has the unenviable task of being the referee assigned.
01:00:21Ladies and gentlemen, strap it down.
01:00:23Stay right where you are.
01:00:24Because after this very short commercial break, four men, one gold belt.
01:00:29On Monday Nitro, it's all next.
01:00:32All right, they started, we're back.
01:00:39Well, it sounded during the commercial break.
01:00:42And the odd thing is, you can see only three men are in the ring.
01:00:45Diamond Dallas Page, I believe, has walked out to the fans somewhere, Mike.
01:00:49He's out in the crowd someplace, Tony.
01:00:51DDP, not part of D.
01:00:53Well, the first three, they're battling it out.
01:00:56And one may think this may be a good strategy, but no, it's not.
01:00:59I mean, if he's under the ring, he can't win the title.
01:01:03But by the same token, if he just sits back and watches, however,
01:01:07he also allows these other three wrestlers to possibly prepare themselves out.
01:01:12Bellberg screaming out towards Page and calling the crowd here.
01:01:16So now the three men, the one that who matches, who gets the kickball,
01:01:20who gets the submission, who will become the world champ.
01:01:23Sting early up tonight on this program, defeated Page to become the world champ.
01:01:29So he's the champ, he's the perfect champ, and Goldberg is taking charge of the ring now.
01:01:34Sting and Goldberg, this is what we've been waiting for.
01:01:37Here's the showdown.
01:01:38Remember, WCW officials did sign Sting to defend against Goldberg the world title
01:01:44slamboree, prompted Nash, who had the world title belt, already signed to come up and
01:01:50make a challenge for this match, and everybody accept him.
01:01:53Nash goes down.
01:01:54You see, Page has come back to ringside.
01:01:56Sting makes a save.
01:01:58Page, he's at the near side, there you see him, bottom of your screen.
01:02:03Meanwhile, the battle continues in the ring.
01:02:05Now, Page surveying the situation.
01:02:07You can see that he's just waiting for the proper time, for the right time to make his move.
01:02:15Sting goes down, Page circles to our left.
01:02:18As Sting and Nash are both down, and Goldberg is holding part center of the canvas.
01:02:24Sting battles back, Goldberg sends him in.
01:02:26Goldberg kicks off, Sting.
01:02:28Fees it.
01:02:29So up.
01:02:30Ready, two, three.
01:02:34No, couldn't hold him down.
01:02:37Actually didn't think he would.
01:02:39Goldberg saw a little bit of frustration by slamming his hand down to the mat.
01:02:44And look at this.
01:02:45Page finally into the action.
01:02:47Cheap shot to the back of Goldberg.
01:02:49Boy, Mr. Cheap shot.
01:02:51Swinging neck breaker, sending Goldberg down.
01:02:54Page saved by Big Sexy.
01:02:56Now all four men are at it.
01:03:01And like you're right, the man with the least amount of air right now has got to be DDT.
01:03:06He has to have the advantage while the other three men were beating on each other.
01:03:10He was just sitting back, watching, plotting his strategy.
01:03:13Remember, he's already defending the title, unsuccessfully on the program.
01:03:18Goldberg kicks Page down.
01:03:19Sting staggers Kevin Nash.
01:03:23Now he walks away at Goldberg.
01:03:25Kicks Nash.
01:03:26He goes to Goldberg.
01:03:29The world champion.
01:03:30Take out all three.
01:03:31Sting staggers.
01:03:32The other side.
01:03:34What a remarkable night by Sting.
01:03:38This is the third one from Goldberg.
01:03:40He's got all three.
01:03:44Already had all three.
01:03:45Already had all three.
01:03:47Kevin Nash comes up.
01:03:49Pounding away.
01:03:50This is how Sting's momentum.
01:03:53Big foot Goldberg down.
01:03:56Now it's Kevin Nash's turn.
01:03:58Wow, look at the bodies all over the ring.
01:04:01Three big feet.
01:04:03And all three opponents are down.
01:04:05He's gonna try.
01:04:06A jackknife pounder.
01:04:08Saved by Goldberg.
01:04:11That's the key, Mike.
01:04:15Here's a cover.
01:04:16Hold on.
01:04:17No, that's not a cover.
01:04:18It's a chokehold.
01:04:19The key is not only trying to win, but keep the other two men at bay.
01:04:22And of course, the question you have there was,
01:04:24is Goldberg maybe paying back for last week's Nitro,
01:04:29or was he just doing it to prevent the title from switching?
01:04:33I think it may be a combination of both pages on the outside again.
01:04:36And meanwhile, Goldberg in a tough spot.
01:04:40Double teamed up against the roughs.
01:04:42Once again, DDP has spent a lot of time on the floor.
01:04:48And with his advantage, he reaches in.
01:04:51An opportune time for DDP while Sting in that fight in the left of your screen.
01:04:56One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
01:05:03You know somewhere recuperating from his knee surgery, Hollywood Hogan is looking on.
01:05:09You heard earlier, he's thinking about what DDP, Diamond Dallas Page,
01:05:13be a while before he can come back.
01:05:15But you know the athlete that he is, Hogan will be back.
01:05:18One, two.
01:05:19As he watches on and millions watch on.
01:05:21Who will emerge the world champion in this fourth quarter
01:05:25notice modification match here tonight.
01:05:27Goldberg series of headbutts, this page up into the air.
01:05:30Where's he gonna take him?
01:05:31Straight down.
01:05:35First slam by Goldberg.
01:05:37Just waits for Sting to get out.
01:05:41Meanwhile, Big Sexy lurking in the corner.
01:05:43He'll try to make a cover.
01:05:44Not a bad move.
01:05:45That was a super move attempt that time by Kevin Nash,
01:05:50trying to get the move out of the move by Goldberg.
01:05:53Sting is nice and Goldberg goes down in the heat.
01:05:56Look at this, Nash is gonna cover Goldberg.
01:05:58Right now, Kevin Nash wrestling a very smart four-quarter match.
01:06:04Just covering men of a great moves by other men.
01:06:09Kevin Nash reaches, picks up Sting.
01:06:17Side, Saltel slam, one, two, no.
01:06:20Discus Lariat missed.
01:06:23Reverse kick, there's Nash again.
01:06:27And Nash almost won it again.
01:06:29That time though, Goldberg, I think his head may have hit the knee at DDP.
01:06:33Sting makes a cover.
01:06:35And Paige is out.
01:06:36Look at Nash now covers Paige.
01:06:38He'll try it again, but no.
01:06:40Other side, Sting tries a cover.
01:06:44We'll give Randy Anderson a lot of credit.
01:06:47He has stayed right with each and every attempt at a pinfall here.
01:06:51Four men who all fall, that big world heavyweight team.
01:06:56Going at it, Sting the world champ at the receiving end of the long foot by Big Sexy.
01:07:04Goldberg in the back by DDP.
01:07:08Sting who earlier tonight defeated Diamond Dallas Paige to win the world heavyweight title.
01:07:14Has put it on the line here again.
01:07:17In the shadows.
01:07:18Scorpion.
01:07:19Coming.
01:07:20Slamboree, Scorpion is on.
01:07:23Got to turn him.
01:07:24Long legs of Kevin Nash come into play.
01:07:27Speared by Goldberg in the center of the ring.
01:07:30What's gonna happen?
01:07:32Sting dropped the Scorpion.
01:07:33Sting got speared.
01:07:34Goldberg just speared the world's champion Sting.
01:07:39Could be a mistake, could be a mistake for Sting to drop the Scorpion Deathlight.
01:07:45Goldberg's going to the jackhammer.
01:07:48There it is.
01:07:49Randy Savage.
01:07:52What?
01:07:53Randy Savage prevented Goldberg from winning the world title.
01:07:58But it's no discrimination.
01:08:00So Savage can do this.
01:08:02Sting though is still down.
01:08:08From the jackhammer Goldberg.
01:08:10Thanks to-
01:08:11Savage just tossed something into Paige.
01:08:13He tossed the nuts to Paige.
01:08:16Paige.
01:08:17Nails.
01:08:18Diamond cutter on Nash.
01:08:20And a diamond cutter.
01:08:21One, two, my God, Paige is a world champ again.
01:08:26I don't believe it.
01:08:27He's done the unthinkable, he's got the belt back.
01:08:33Diamond Dallas, Paige, in one night, lost and has won back the world title.
01:08:43But it was very obvious that Randy Savage, the Macho Man, his interference,
01:08:49helped Paige win and took it right away from Goldberg.
01:08:56And look at Paige with the championship belt.
01:08:59Like a thief in the night, look at him exit the arena.
01:09:02An incredible night of professional wrestling here on WCW, Monday Nitro.
01:09:09What does this do for Sclamboree?
01:09:12We'll answer that question when Mike Tanay and Larry Zabisco bring you thunder in a mere three days.
01:09:18Have a good night, everybody, from Fargo.
