00:01:35Where's Nash?
00:01:36Where's Nash?
00:01:37Where's Nash?
00:01:38Where's Nash?
00:01:39You put the word out right now.
00:01:41Nacho's macho man day.
00:01:43And I want to know where Nash is.
00:01:45The belt means nothing at this point.
00:01:47It's a little bit personal.
00:01:49Yeah.
00:01:50Come on ladies let's go.
00:01:52Nash!
00:01:53Nash!
00:01:55The macho man Randy Savage has arrived at Nitro.
00:02:03His entourage in tow.
00:02:06And a bucket full as well as Monday Nitro's on the air live in Cleveland, Ohio.
00:02:14For three solid hours on TMT.
00:02:17It's Tony Schiavone along with Bobby the Brain Heenan and Eric Mischoff.
00:02:23As we open up the telecast.
00:02:25It can't really come out.
00:02:28But it looks like the Randy Savage gentleman has a little bit of revenge
00:02:32came back inside.
00:02:34Wait hold a second here.
00:02:36We've got Pat coming out.
00:02:39Smoking a cigarette.
00:02:41And I believe Bobby the Brain Heenan and Eric Mischoff that may be a dent.
00:02:51Not maybe a dent.
00:02:52That is a dent.
00:02:53For Procolosi to have that man with a cigarette in his mouth.
00:02:58I would think Tony if this man does whatever he wants to do.
00:03:01Well I'll tell you what.
00:03:03I don't know what the hell Savage had in a bucket but I know what this guy's got in his mouth.
00:03:08You can't smoke here.
00:03:10He knows it.
00:03:11Obviously that's been handed down for many years that you can't smoke on the program.
00:03:18So in the face of all that he comes out smoking a cigarette.
00:03:23They'll make him put it out.
00:03:24Pack along with Chasity and Prince Ikea waits him in the ring.
00:03:34What he's doing, he's showing his defiance for a rule.
00:03:38That's exactly what he's doing.
00:03:40Just put the cigarette out and get in the ring.
00:03:43Man, is he ever just blowing the smoke right towards us.
00:03:50Matt coming out here and as he comes out with a cigarette stuck in the mouth.
00:03:57In the back, somewhere the Motel Man Randy Savage walking around with that bucket.
00:04:04And you heard he wasn't worrying about the world title.
00:04:07Thinking about the world title, he was thinking about payback for Kevin Nash and
00:04:11what happened a week ago.
00:04:14I say what, Hack better think about putting that cigarette out.
00:04:17He cannot get in the ring with a cigarette.
00:04:20And now the referee is telling him just that.
00:04:25Oh, and look, he just pulls out and blows smoke in the face of Scott Dickinson.
00:04:31If I was Hack, I wouldn't want this match with Ikea either.
00:04:34Ikea is in great shape.
00:04:36Hack's okay.
00:04:37He looks like he just rolled in off a four-day drunk.
00:04:40You're right about Ikea, the way he looks, Eric Bischoff.
00:04:43The former television champion looks in great shape.
00:04:47Hack just turning his attention away, holding that kindle stick high above his head.
00:04:53Of course, one of the- They're not gonna let this match start until he puts that cigarette out.
00:04:58I guarantee you that.
00:04:59J.J. Dillon's out at ringside.
00:05:01All right, J.J. has arrived.
00:05:02J.J. has come in the ring, as a matter of fact.
00:05:07Microphone in hand, and we're gonna get this squared away.
00:05:10Listen, Hack, WCW has cut you a lot of slack in terms of your activities in the ring.
00:05:19But we're drawing the line.
00:05:21We cannot start this match till you put the cigarette out.
00:05:25There's no smoke in the ring.
00:05:26Do you understand me?
00:05:33He's not gonna budge.
00:05:34You have no respect for authority whatsoever.
00:05:39I ask you, put the cigarette out.
00:05:42Eric Bischoff is going to the ring.
00:05:43This is valuable television time, and I wanna get to the match.
00:05:45Make me!
00:05:50Bischoff dropped the headset.
00:05:55Let me give you a hand.
00:06:02Look, Hack, I got no problem with you.
00:06:04These people can.
00:06:05They wanna see a match.
00:06:06Match isn't gonna start till you put the cigarette out.
00:06:09So if you do me a favor, do everybody here a favor.
00:06:11Put the damn thing out so we get the show on the road.
00:06:21That is 100% defiance.
00:06:24Come on, man.
00:06:27Well, the match is not-
00:06:28Put it out.
00:06:29It's no big deal.
00:06:30Smoke it when you're done.
00:06:36No problem.
00:06:49Let him go.
00:06:50It's no big deal.
00:06:53My God.
00:06:56Bischoff slapped Hack right in the face.
00:06:59And now security surrounds Hack, who raised that kendo stick up.
00:07:04And Hack is foving at the mouth to get a piece of Bischoff in.
00:07:12Well, Bischoff kind of took the-
00:07:14No, I'll tell you what.
00:07:15Don't ring the bell.
00:07:16Let him wrestle.
00:07:19Let him wrestle.
00:07:28So Bischoff jumps down.
00:07:29And the match has started.
00:07:34And Prince Ayakeya with a cover and a one count.
00:07:41And Hack kicks out of it.
00:07:44Wow.
00:07:45You're talking about taking matters into your own hand.
00:07:48That's what I call your authority there.
00:07:52I have no authority.
00:07:53I just hate smokers.
00:07:55And-
00:07:58Oh!
00:07:59Now I really hate smokers.
00:08:02Well, it's loaded with smoke right now.
00:08:04And as you can see underneath the ring here,
00:08:07Hap has a table.
00:08:09Here we go.
00:08:11We're gonna have some fun now.
00:08:13Prince went down in a heap, and he's sprayed in the eyes with a fire extinguisher.
00:08:24And now the Prince, helpless as he's put on the table.
00:08:29And he's going up, Tony.
00:08:32You notice the guy can only throw two punches and he gets winded.
00:08:36He won't be running any marathons, but he's tougher than hell.
00:08:41My goodness.
00:08:42That table had no give at all.
00:08:46Neither do the Prince's back.
00:08:49Not at all.
00:08:50He now has the table.
00:08:51And both of them will before this night's over, I'm afraid.
00:08:54Oh!
00:08:55Again!
00:08:56He has about ramped him into the cheap seats.
00:09:01And he disposes a Prince's back there.
00:09:04And we've got cover in the ring.
00:09:09It's right now.
00:09:10Hey, they don't like smokers either.
00:09:12That's right, Hugh Morris, Jimmy Hart in with him as well.
00:09:16Here we go.
00:09:20Look at Chastity outside of the room.
00:09:22She's a movie star.
00:09:23I wonder why I'm not going out.
00:09:26Oh!
00:09:28Oh, he wants to be.
00:09:29Kidman's out.
00:09:30Kidman's out.
00:09:31And Billy Kidman.
00:09:33Nice draft kick.
00:09:38Double draft kick.
00:09:39Billy Kidman cleaning house.
00:09:41He's got Jimmy Hart.
00:09:48And now Hugh Morris.
00:09:49Uh-oh.
00:09:50Not good.
00:09:51Not at all.
00:09:52300 plus rounds.
00:09:53Blind sides.
00:09:54And a pickup.
00:09:58Powerbomb on Kendall.
00:10:01Look, Kendall's kick rocks the head.
00:10:03They're hot.
00:10:04And they're going to a little nuts here at ringside.
00:10:07If you guys are gonna drop beer, I'll be making sure it's light beer, will ya?
00:10:10No problem.
00:10:15As long as it's light.
00:10:16Ouch!
00:10:17No!
00:10:18Half-roaring that stick.
00:10:20As Cornish continues up and down.
00:10:25Okay, we got three drunk guys at ringside that just took a rail to the midsection, and they look better for it.
00:10:35It's all part of the night draw experience.
00:10:39Come on!
00:10:40Being here in ringside with the action.
00:10:42Justice!
00:10:44There's some bad people right there, Tony.
00:10:52Come on!
00:10:53Come on!
00:10:54Come on!
00:10:55In the ovens.
00:10:56The most worst!
00:10:57The most worst!
00:10:58The most worst!
00:10:59Look at the last!
00:11:00Yeah!
00:11:01To find out who is the master of extreme of hardcore WCW.
00:11:08The gold stake in May.
00:11:09There you see tonight.
00:11:10Ten out of two.
00:11:11Three.
00:11:12And join just the opening bout of WCW Monday Night Show, guys.
00:11:18You know what?
00:11:19I love this job.
00:11:21I love Monday nights.
00:11:22Nothing like it, Eric Bischoff.
00:11:23Me too.
00:11:24Look at this capacity crowd on hand.
00:11:26We're downtown, Cleveland.
00:11:28The CSU Convocation Center.
00:11:30Pat came in, wielding a cigarette.
00:11:33Remind us not to smoke around you.
00:11:36Slap right in your mouth.
00:11:39Kick me, punch me, but do not blow smoke in my face.
00:11:43You got it, boss.
00:11:44It used to be kick me, punch me, but do not bore me.
00:11:49Oh, here we go.
00:11:50Speaking of not boring me.
00:11:53Wow.
00:11:54Now I know I love Mondays.
00:11:56It's a night throw girl.
00:12:14Monday night throws up and ready this week.
00:12:44Sting and Steiner, they think they're hardcore.
00:13:07They don't know what hardcore is.
00:13:09I'm gonna be the ref and I'll be here and I'll bring you with me if I'm not.
00:13:13You understand?
00:13:19Tank Abbott pulled him out of the way.
00:13:22He came out to help Rick Steiner and he nailed Sting.
00:13:28And Sting is helpless.
00:13:32You can't trust a soul.
00:13:35Come on out, Big Sexy.
00:13:37That's not Kevin Nash.
00:13:38I say it's on and it's hit the fan and the Macho Man is gonna treat him like the coward.
00:13:50Push him back in the closet where he needs to stay.
00:13:54Savage, elbow drop, fan.
00:13:56Ooh, yeah.
00:13:57This portion of Monday Night Troll is brought to you by Lewis.
00:14:01Septic Services.
00:14:02For all your savage septic needs.
00:14:05Sunday Night Troll is on fire.
00:14:06Yes it is.
00:14:07Put it out.
00:14:08Put it out.
00:14:09Put it out.
00:14:10That's a fire on fire.
00:14:11Oh, that's a fire on fire.
00:14:12It went up like a Roman candle then.
00:14:25We have a candle that is on fire.
00:14:27Yes, it is.
00:14:28Put it out, put it out.
00:14:30That's a pyro, sorry.
00:14:32That went up like a Roman candle, man.
00:14:37And the Macho Man coming to the arena with a bucket of whatever.
00:14:44Wow, hey, we are six days out from the Great American Bank.
00:14:48And here with the Macho Man Randy Savage said, hey, Kevin Nash,
00:14:51it's not about the world title, it's personal now.
00:14:53Hey, Bobby, did you see that last week?
00:14:55I mean, Nash came out in a sewage truck, filled that limo up with raw sewage.
00:15:00What do you think the Macho Man has in the bucket?
00:15:03I mean, you'd have to be able to fly the space shuttle to figure that one out.
00:15:06Well, it's not a bottle of evening in Paris, I'll guarantee you.
00:15:09The smell is bad, and the Macho Man is bad.
00:15:13And he's got his mind set on one thing, and that's the world champion, Kevin Nash.
00:15:18He's got his mind set more on the man than he does the heavyweight champions of the world.
00:15:23But that match is set for the Great American Bank, it's set for this coming Sunday, live on Pay-Per-View.
00:15:30We know how dangerous the Macho Man is, but now we know how angry the man is as well.
00:15:36Well, it's gonna be exciting, no doubt about it, but I do know for a fact we are gonna have one heck of a nitro here tonight.
00:15:43And by the way, on the competition, the guy under the hood, I can't mention his name, but the initials are VM, Mick something or other.
00:15:51That's it. I hate to blow it for anybody, but that's it.
00:15:53That's all it is.
00:15:54Just keep rehashing that same old crap over and over again.
00:15:56But anyway, let's get down here.
00:15:59By the way, DJ Rand, I'm talking to him tonight, he said he got the word,
00:16:04Master P and the No Limit Soldier.
00:16:06Watching WCW real close.
00:16:09Expect a big announcement there, and if you happen to be watching news at all tonight,
00:16:13Dennis Rodman, signed, he's coming back to WCW.
00:16:17A lot of stuff going on here.
00:16:19Well, we're peering it up for a big summit.
00:16:23A gigantic summit.
00:16:25A higher power, that's what it was called.
00:16:29The guy under the hood, his initials are VM.
00:16:31Right.
00:16:32I think it was a higher power.
00:16:33You're not too powerful right now.
00:16:34He's carrying around a $110 million lawsuit.
00:16:37That ain't power.
00:16:39That's a big black cloud.
00:16:42Ouch.
00:16:45Nobody's safe.
00:16:47Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
00:16:49Tony, you hit it.
00:16:52No one's safe.
00:16:54Hey, but you know what?
00:16:55I can go bubble.
00:16:56Unbelievable.
00:16:57That's you.
00:16:58You're so hard to be humble when you get better looking.
00:17:02All right, Scottie Riggs, Mr. Bane.
00:17:06I'm sure it's hard to be humble.
00:17:09Scottie Riggs and Lenny Lane, one on one, our next matchup.
00:17:13Yeah, Cleveland.
00:17:15Man, the fans are wild tonight.
00:17:17Yeah, I love it.
00:17:18I love this, Bobby.
00:17:19How about you?
00:17:20Cleveland's always been a great wrestling town.
00:17:22It's always been hot.
00:17:23A lot of action.
00:17:24The fans have always been behind all the wrestling women.
00:17:27They like them, hate them.
00:17:28One way or the other, they've just been tremendous here in Cleveland.
00:17:32I like Riggs' new look.
00:17:34I like this.
00:17:35So does Riggs.
00:17:37That's what's important.
00:17:38He's a bigger mirror.
00:17:42Well, he brought the mirror out.
00:17:44I mean, put him in now, Lenny Lane.
00:17:48Paul Orndorff did that a long time ago when he was Mr. Wonderful.
00:17:52You gotta come out here with something, try to be original.
00:17:56Now, here we go, and Riggs, a combination of the intensity,
00:18:01the newfound intensity, and the fact that Lane took his mirror,
00:18:05gets the blows in first in an uppercut now.
00:18:08Cracking Lenny Lane back to the mat.
00:18:10And that always makes me mad, somebody takes me here.
00:18:13Hip-toss, nice hip-toss by Lenny Lane, he's looking good.
00:18:16Nice scoop slam.
00:18:21Back into the corner, and there you see Billy Shelberman, the referee.
00:18:25Well, he started out on a wild note here tonight on WCW Monday Nitro,
00:18:34with Hank and the refusal to put the cigarette out.
00:18:39Bischoff coming to the ring, J.J. coming to the ring.
00:18:43Cover one, two, we got a two only.
00:18:45And then we saw Nobbs and a few more.
00:18:50Uh-oh.
00:18:53This is Lodi.
00:18:54Now, Lodi came out on Thursday to watch a match, and
00:18:57we had no idea why or what he was doing out here at that time.
00:19:01That attempt that an airplane sprint got let away.
00:19:05Kind of off balance.
00:19:08Very good.
00:19:10Check the fingernails on Lodi.
00:19:13He looks different to me, but Tony, the real question is, does he look different to you?
00:19:22And the crowd loves it.
00:19:25I mean, Lodi used to come out here with the signs, putting the signs up in the air.
00:19:34Kind of look like a small version of a Billy Idol, but it doesn't look anything like that right now.
00:19:40Well, you don't know what he's gonna do.
00:19:42Stick around and wait.
00:19:43He's up to something.
00:19:44He's come out there as a big drop kick that time by Riggs.
00:19:49And that was great elevation.
00:19:51As he got up from that standing position of drop kick as Lodi.
00:19:55Now paying a little bit more attention to our cameraman than he is to the action in the ring here.
00:20:00And Lenny Lane falls on the outside.
00:20:02Now, Lodi encouraging Lenny Lane to get up here.
00:20:09What's going on?
00:20:10Hey, Bobby, what do you think Macho's gonna do with that bucket of whatever that was?
00:20:16Well, knowing Macho Man Randy Simon, when he has his mindset on something, he's gonna do it.
00:20:21He's got plans for that bucket.
00:20:23He didn't come here with a five-gallon bucket of whatever in the back of a limo unless he had a plan.
00:20:31What is it, Bobby?
00:20:32You know.
00:20:33No, I don't know.
00:20:34You know.
00:20:35I don't.
00:20:36Oh, that stinks.
00:20:37Well, it does smell funny to me, too, but he's got plans for somebody.
00:20:42I hope it's not me.
00:20:43I hope it's not you, because you're next to me.
00:20:45Yeah, I hope it's not either one of us.
00:20:47Because you're in the middle.
00:20:48You know Savage.
00:20:51Savage is a man bent.
00:20:53He is, his mind is geared towards whatever he wants to do.
00:20:58Whenever he puts his mind in a direction to do something, he'll do it.
00:21:01What's in that bucket?
00:21:02What's he gonna do with it?
00:21:03Who knows?
00:21:04Somebody's gonna suffer.
00:21:05Well, as I said last week, you know, Kevin Nash, he suffered quite a bit of embarrassment at the hands of the Macho Ranger Savage for a couple weeks in a row.
00:21:14We knew that Nash was not gonna put up with it for a whole lot longer, and he paid it off in a big, big way.
00:21:21Now that the bar has been raised a little higher or a little lower, depending on your perspective, it's gonna be interesting to see where this thing ends up tonight.
00:21:30Well, Nash is nobody to mess with.
00:21:32He's one tough man, you know that.
00:21:34He's tough, he's smart, and he holds a grudge really, really well.
00:21:39He doesn't forget.
00:21:40He's very dangerous.
00:21:41I'm not keeping you awake, am I, Tony?
00:21:46Come on, come on.
00:21:48But you know, Savage, too, is a man that, he doesn't sleep, he stays awake all the time.
00:21:53He's constantly thinking, he's planning, he's up to something.
00:21:57Meanwhile in the ring, there's a pick up.
00:22:02Just looking for a place to get a word in there, and there's a knee driven right into the chest here by Riggs.
00:22:10One, two, no, only a full cap.
00:22:14Well, come on, Brain.
00:22:15Eric knows all about it.
00:22:16We know the bucket of whatever is meant for Kevin Nash.
00:22:20He's looking for Kevin Nash.
00:22:22If he finds Kevin Nash in the back, then he's going to dump that on Kevin Nash.
00:22:27If he finds Kevin Nash anywhere close to us, we may be a little bit too close.
00:22:31I just heard from the back.
00:22:32I mean, look at that.
00:22:33It's a bucket of sugar water.
00:22:36Any better looking?
00:22:37No.
00:22:38Do you feel me, sugar water?
00:22:40Sugar water.
00:22:41Sugar water turns that color.
00:22:43Well, if it's fermented.
00:22:45Okay.
00:22:46It must have been fermented.
00:22:48Sugar water.
00:22:49Shut up.
00:22:50Two, three, four, four.
00:22:56You know, the other thing, Lenny Lane, you know, Lenny Lane's been in the power plant for quite a while now.
00:23:00He's been around the block.
00:23:01He's working the circuit.
00:23:03Somebody ought to tell him a guy with red hair should not wear yellow tights.
00:23:06It's just, it's just not good.
00:23:09He's in good shape.
00:23:10He's a good wrestler.
00:23:11But the red hair and yellow tights ain't getting it.
00:23:14Now that, there he's ripped.
00:23:16And that drop kick didn't get it.
00:23:17Not even close.
00:23:18Set up nicely.
00:23:19Not very well executed.
00:23:21Sorry, Tony.
00:23:22Okay, second time to try to go for it tonight.
00:23:24And that was one too many times.
00:23:25Lane is a lot of success in the Cruiserweight division here.
00:23:28And of course, there's a move by Lane, form of a power bomb that time as he picked him up with a gun wrench.
00:23:38Did a chat the other day on WCW.com.
00:23:40A lot of fans had a lot of good things to say about Lenny Lane.
00:23:47He dug the enziguri kick that time.
00:23:49Two.
00:23:50He's got him.
00:23:52Two.
00:23:53Two, no.
00:23:54Uh-uh.
00:23:55Two.
00:23:57Is Lodi still around anywhere?
00:24:00Lenny Lane's opened up.
00:24:02And above his right eye, it looks like he got tagged pretty hard.
00:24:05On the back of the head and a good move.
00:24:10No, he got tagged there real hard.
00:24:12And Riggs is going for the cut, much like a boxer would.
00:24:15To the face first of the man.
00:24:18Scotty Riggs.
00:24:21Scotty Riggs showing up to Brand New Move.
00:24:24Here on WCW Monday Night Raw.
00:24:27Looking good.
00:24:33Yes, he is.
00:24:34And it's time for the replay brought to you by Brain.
00:24:391-800-Riggs.
00:24:41Drops him face first.
00:24:44In that match, Scotty Riggs goes through the pan for the one.
00:24:48For the two.
00:24:49For the three.
00:24:50He's got it.
00:24:51Your winner, Scotty Riggs.
00:24:541-800-Riggs.
00:24:56It's the easy way to save.
00:24:58It's fast.
00:24:59It's easy.
00:25:00It saves.
00:25:01We'll have more live.
00:25:02We're in Cleveland, Ohio.
00:25:04And we're just starting three hours of WCW Monday Night Raw.
00:25:09Chris, I'm exasperated.
00:25:11I'm trying to regain your confidence.
00:25:13I'm trying to make you look at me as Ric Flair.
00:25:15The man.
00:25:16The wrestler.
00:25:17The legend, man.
00:25:18Not as a president of the company.
00:25:20I don't want to sell you on anything but being a horseman.
00:25:23Being Chris Benoit.
00:25:25Being one of the greatest young stars in the business today.
00:25:28And being a horseman.
00:25:30Believe in me again.
00:25:31Give me an opportunity to have that trust that you gave me when I came back to this company
00:25:37nine months ago.
00:25:38The only reason I'm sitting here talking to you is because I've always had the utmost respect
00:25:43for you.
00:25:44Because of the opportunities that you've given me.
00:25:47But after last week.
00:25:48After what we did to each other in the ring.
00:25:52It's no longer unconditional.
00:25:54It's conditional and questionable from here on in, Ric.
00:25:58Chris, you don't get it.
00:26:00All we did last week was show the wrestling world that we're two of the greatest wrestlers alive.
00:26:04Why should you and I be out there butting heads, man?
00:26:07Let's go out there and kick somebody else's butt.
00:26:09You're Chris Benoit, man.
00:26:10You are going to be the man in the sport.
00:26:12I'm ready to pass the torch.
00:26:14They're always saying, Ric Flair, he's selfish.
00:26:16He won't pass the torch.
00:26:17He's not good to the young guys.
00:26:19You're the man, brother.
00:26:20You're the man in waiting.
00:26:22And tonight, I'm going to make it good for you.
00:26:25I'm going to make it good for you.
00:26:26Remember the thing with me and Iron Man about, you know, what, four or five years ago?
00:26:29That was the most difficult time of my life.
00:26:32We were horsemen.
00:26:33We were the leaders of the horsemen.
00:26:35We were the deal.
00:26:36The whole country was jealous of what Iron and I were.
00:26:39And we had to fall out, man.
00:26:40We had to riff.
00:26:41We had to wrestle against each other in Asheville, North Carolina, our own backyard.
00:26:45We had to walk the aisle from separate dressing rooms.
00:26:50Arne Anderson, Double A the Enforcer, Nature Boy Ric Flair.
00:26:53We had it out.
00:26:54But you know what?
00:26:56We put it back together, man.
00:26:57We patched the gap.
00:26:58We patched the hole.
00:26:59You know why?
00:27:00Because we're a horsemen.
00:27:01We're a legacy.
00:27:02We're what the sport's all about.
00:27:04We're the best.
00:27:05We're the best.
00:27:06I need you to trust me again, man.
00:27:08Please trust in me again.
00:27:10Give me the opportunity.
00:27:11Let me be the Ric Flair that I was the night we walked out in Greenville, South Carolina,
00:27:15man.
00:27:16And the whole world went upside down saying,
00:27:17Oh my God, the horsemen are back together again.
00:27:20Woo!
00:27:21What's gonna happen now?
00:27:22Give me a chance to be that man again.
00:27:24All I'm asking you, please, give me a chance to be that man again.
00:27:29I'll consider it, Ric.
00:27:30You will.
00:27:31I'll consider it.
00:27:32I've never looked at it that way, but I'll consider it.
00:27:34All right, brother.
00:27:35Great.
00:27:37What do you want?
00:27:38You're the president, right?
00:27:39Huh.
00:27:40Can you read the sign?
00:27:41I was last time I looked.
00:27:42So you're the man who makes things happen?
00:27:43I'm the man that makes things happen.
00:27:44Good.
00:27:45Just the person I want to see.
00:27:46Last week, Canyon and I lost the tag titles because Canyon had a concussion.
00:27:50This week, he's got doctor's clearance.
00:27:52He's on his way here.
00:27:53We want a rematch today.
00:27:55Wow.
00:27:56It is the irony.
00:27:57The irony of life.
00:27:58Just when I'm about to tell you what I'm gonna do for you tonight,
00:28:01he comes busting in like he owns the company.
00:28:04I'm the president.
00:28:05That's what I was gonna tell you.
00:28:06Tonight, you and me for the world tag team titles.
00:28:09You and me partners against Bam Bam Bigelow and Diamond Dallas Page.
00:28:13The horsemen.
00:28:14Reunited.
00:28:15Flair and Benoit.
00:28:16Together.
00:28:17Tonight.
00:28:18Oh, oh, oh.
00:28:19Hold on, Prez.
00:28:20I've been talking to him for an hour.
00:28:21You're gonna listen to me just one more minute, Prez.
00:28:23I know what you're doing here.
00:28:24You think I'm stupid?
00:28:25I don't know what you're doing.
00:28:26Benoit, this has nothing to do with you, brother.
00:28:28You got my respect.
00:28:29You don't want them belts.
00:28:30What about me?
00:28:31You win them belts, I'm getting a rematch.
00:28:33I don't care if you're champions or they're champions.
00:28:35I haven't got your respect.
00:28:36I'm the president of the company.
00:28:37I'm the greatest wrestler I've ever lived.
00:28:39Chris, have we got a deal?
00:28:40Tonight, brother, you and me.
00:28:42We're gonna walk the aisle together.
00:28:44Ric Flair, Chris Benoit, side by side.
00:28:47First time ever, man.
00:28:48Bigelow and Page are going down.
00:28:50Ric Flair, those are the two guys that came laid me out.
00:28:52I got that smell of world title.
00:28:53Those are the two guys that came laid me out after last week.
00:28:55That's right.
00:28:56They had no right coming out in that match anyway.
00:28:57You know why they already came down?
00:28:58Because two of the greatest of all time, Benoit and Flair,
00:29:01were in the ring together.
00:29:02It drives Page crazy being number two or three or whatever he is.
00:29:06And he and Bam Bam are the world champions now.
00:29:08Not because you and I have had a shot at it.
00:29:10You know if Benoit and Flair are on their game, brother.
00:29:13Tonight, we win the World Tag Team Championship Nitro.
00:29:17Woo, look at the zone if we can look.
00:29:18Horsemen reunited.
00:29:19What do you think?
00:29:20Give me a chance.
00:29:21Give me a chance.
00:29:22Give me a chance.
00:29:23Give me a chance.
00:29:24Give me a chance.
00:29:25Give me a chance.
00:29:26Tonight, brother.
00:29:27That's it.
00:29:28Horsemen reunited, man.
00:29:29All right.
00:29:30World Tag Team Champions.
00:29:31God, Chris.
00:29:32It's gonna be glorious, brother.
00:29:33It's gonna be glorious.
00:29:34It's gonna be glorious.
00:29:35Woo!
00:29:44The crowd tonight, here at Cleveland Convocation Center,
00:29:48Red Hot for Monday Nitro.
00:29:50Next week, Monday Nitro is in the nation's capital, the MCI Center.
00:29:55For Monday Nitro, that's June 14.
00:29:57There are fans in DC and the surrounding Northern Virginia,
00:30:01metropolitan area.
00:30:03Tickets to my job as well.
00:30:04Ticking out troublers, including Hextor.
00:30:07Join the fun and the excitement of Monday Nitro.
00:30:10Oh, hold on now.
00:30:12Here he comes, guys.
00:30:14With his bucket towards the ring.
00:30:18Oh, I'm getting out of here.
00:30:24Look, he doesn't even want to get to it.
00:30:25This is unbelievable.
00:30:27The guy's got a bucket of sewage, and he's bringing it to the ring.
00:30:36During the commercial break, a couple of guys buzzed me on the head and said,
00:30:40they said it's sewage.
00:30:42I mean, we're joking around.
00:30:44But this maniac brought a bucket of sewage to the ring.
00:30:49You're right, this maniac, right there, savage.
00:30:54As long as he stays in the ring, I don't care what he does.
00:30:58Speaking of morons, did you see that 285-pound fat guy?
00:31:05Shouldn't have done it!
00:31:06He's wearing a shirt that says, hey, Scott, I'm your hookup.
00:31:10I don't think he gets it.
00:31:12Big sexy Kevin Nash is nowhere in this building.
00:31:19I've checked every crevice.
00:31:23I've checked every cleavage.
00:31:27Easy.
00:31:29Wow.
00:31:34Let's smell that from here.
00:31:36In my position, cannot afford to look ridiculous.
00:31:42You know what I'm talking about.
00:31:44Can you smell that?
00:31:45Yes, I can.
00:31:46Rodeo's in town.
00:31:48You messed up big time.
00:31:52So it's no surprise, Big Sexy, that you're not here tonight.
00:31:58So I know that I gotta wait to the Great American Bash
00:32:03to not only take your title, oh yeah,
00:32:08cuz I'm not gonna be distracted, but now it's personal.
00:32:13Now, you're playing kid games with the lord and master of game plan,
00:32:20and that is the number one player, the Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:32:26Give it up for the madness.
00:32:30Okay, brings a five-gallon bucket of sewage to the ring, and he says he's
00:32:33playing, and Nash is playing kids games.
00:32:35This is sick.
00:32:36Ooh, look at that.
00:32:37That is sick.
00:32:38But that doesn't let you off the hook, even though the Macho Man
00:32:42is off the hook.
00:32:45I am the man, and Kevin Nash, Big Sexy, lame duck world heavyweight champion.
00:32:54Even though you did what you did, you're here, and I'm here,
00:33:03and there's nothing that you can do about it.
00:33:06This is fully fermented from one week ago in the Astro Dome.
00:33:13Ooh, that's the hook.
00:33:15One, it's still soft.
00:33:17And if you had the Kahunas, if you had the huevos, which I know that you don't,
00:33:27you would be right here on Nitro.
00:33:32Shut up and listen to the madness Macho Man talking to you right now.
00:33:39But now, I hold everybody responsible.
00:33:50Everybody in this building, everybody in WCW, because I hate to lower myself,
00:34:05but it's hit the fan, and it's on.
00:34:09So if anybody, because Big Sexy Kevin Nash hasn't got the guts and is a coward to be here tonight,
00:34:22wants to take on the Macho Man, I invite him out.
00:34:31And if there's that one guy, let there be five guys, or ten guys, or even 30 guys.
00:34:42Because this bucket, symbolically, symbolically is gonna be dumped over the head of the band
00:34:52that is really, really stupid, and that's got the guts to come out here.
00:34:59And if that means you, Eric Bitshoff, if that means you, Tony Schiavone, or even you, Bobby Heathen,
00:35:07or all three of you, bring it on.
00:35:11Ooh, yeah.
00:35:13I'm a little busy right now.
00:35:15I'll pass.
00:35:16Come on, don't be shy.
00:35:25Hey, look over there.
00:35:27You gotta take it.
00:35:28It's showtime, folks.
00:35:38Macho Man.
00:35:41Since it is Monday Nitro.
00:35:46And since the Stinger is back.
00:35:51And since the Stinger is back in black.
00:36:00And since you're pretty in pink.
00:36:08What you mean by that, Hot Shot?
00:36:13Little sensitive.
00:36:15I hit a nerve, didn't I?
00:36:17Pretty in pink.
00:36:19How about tonight, the Stinger?
00:36:22Wah!
00:36:23And you.
00:36:25I like that.
00:36:28I don't like it.
00:36:29Let's do it.
00:36:31You know what?
00:36:33Hold it right there, Hot Shot, for the one moment in time.
00:36:37I can't believe you're that stupid.
00:36:41But, for entertainment value, since I already got all the money I need in my lifetime.
00:36:48I got all the ladies I need in anybody's lifetime.
00:36:52I won't pretend that you were a tune-up for the Great American Bash.
00:37:02And I will grant you your wish, because I feel that the Macho Man thinks that you need a shampoo job.
00:37:15And I'll figure out the way to put the conditioner on if you know where the Macho's coming from.
00:37:22Oh, yeah!
00:37:24Just like I said, Macho, it's showtime!
00:37:34I think we have a main event!
00:37:37I know we got a main event!
00:37:39Macho Madness is on Viagra!
00:37:43Now you're gonna get it!
00:37:50Yeah!
00:37:51You're gonna get it!
00:37:52Now you're really gonna get it!
00:37:54Yeah!
00:37:56That last comment made him drop his stick mic there, didn't it?
00:38:01Big Scentsy, watch what I do to a man called Sting!
00:38:08We're all gonna watch it tonight, live on Nitro!
00:38:13How about that?
00:38:15And the fans still standing, they and we, and all of us, and the world got Sting and Randy Savage tonight!
00:38:23Monday Nitro's back at ya, here on this seventh day of June in 1999.
00:38:35And we've got the Macho Man Randy Savage, and Sting, they've agreed.
00:38:41Tonight, Randy Savage promised also to the fans,
00:38:45when he went to a commercial prank that he's gonna put that sewage on the head of Sting.
00:38:52Let's bring in these gorgeous Nitro girfs.
00:38:56Lift it in.
00:39:22Six bonafide knockouts there.
00:39:32All right, let's go back and relive the moments.
00:39:36I know that Savage and the girls don't wanna relive these moments, but it happened a week ago at the Astrodome.
00:39:42And as Mike Tanay said this weekend, Nash took the girls in Savage on a one-way trip to Septic City a week ago.
00:39:53Ahh!
00:39:54!
00:39:58Two!
00:39:59All right, good.
00:40:01All right, good.
00:40:03All right.
00:40:06All right.
00:40:08All right.
00:40:10All right.
00:40:11All right.
00:40:13All right.
00:40:15The clock is off.
00:40:16It's probably saved the time.
00:40:21It's probably off.
00:40:23What's on?
00:40:24I'll show you what's on.
00:40:26Oh, my God.
00:40:34You guys!
00:40:36What is it?
00:40:38What is it?
00:40:40Hey, guys!
00:40:42How's it going, Matthew?
00:40:44Hit it!
00:40:56Help!
00:40:58Help!
00:41:00Oh, my God!
00:41:02Get out of here!
00:41:24Get out of here!
00:41:26Get out of here!
00:41:28Get out of here!
00:41:30Get out of here!
00:41:32Get out of here!
00:41:34Get out of here!
00:41:36Get out of here!
00:41:38Get out of here!
00:41:40Get out of here!
00:41:42Get out of here!
00:41:44Oh, man!
00:41:46I guess you can say the Macho Man was full of it that night, right?
00:41:48I'll tell you what.
00:41:50I said it last week.
00:41:52Nash is a street guy from Detroit.
00:41:54He'll figure out a way to get you.
00:41:56One way or the other, he'll figure it out.
00:41:58Oh, yeah.
00:41:59Oh, yeah.
00:42:00You gotta believe it'll take a long time for that smell to come out.
00:42:02Look at him.
00:42:03He's making his way to the ring.
00:42:04He's got his bag.
00:42:05He's got his belt.
00:42:06Looks to me like he's ready to go.
00:42:08Who knows what this man thinks.
00:42:13I love it.
00:42:15I'll tell you what, he looks like he's ready to wrestle to me.
00:42:19I think Sting may have the night off.
00:42:23There may not be anything left on the Macho Man after Nash is done the night.
00:42:30I think psychologically he's got the upper hand.
00:42:33Did Savage say that he was nowhere to be found?
00:42:38He obviously didn't look very far.
00:42:43I don't think he looked very hard.
00:42:47You wanna find that man, you can find him.
00:42:49Yeah.
00:42:50Obviously the world champion.
00:42:52And listen to the response.
00:43:02There's the man.
00:43:04They love him.
00:43:06He's earned it.
00:43:20Cleveland, Ohio!
00:43:22Big Sexies in the...
00:43:41You know, Macho Man.
00:43:47I know you're not on your way out yet because I can't smell you.
00:43:52If you know what Big Sexy is spewing...
00:43:59It stinks.
00:44:04Oh, man.
00:44:05I just got here.
00:44:07I'm a little late.
00:44:08I brought my gear.
00:44:10It's in the bag.
00:44:12So Macho Man, everybody knows...
00:44:16Macho Man came out here and said he doesn't like to be made to look ridiculous.
00:44:21I'm begging him one time to look in the mirror before he walks out here.
00:44:28So Macho, if you want some of Big Sexy, I'm here waiting, big boy.
00:44:40I do believe we've got us.
00:44:47A showdown.
00:44:48Called him out, and Savage was doing all the talking.
00:44:52Was it all talk?
00:44:53Right, yep.
00:44:54That's what we wanna know, was it or not?
00:44:56Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid man.
00:45:03Oh, here we go.
00:45:04You're not in my league.
00:45:09You're a stupid Perseon.
00:45:12You know, Macho Man, one thing I gotta say is even from here, as your career has progressed the last couple of years, you stink.
00:45:22I got a present for you.
00:45:25Nobody has ever done that to the Macho Man Randy Savage, and this is your day to tell everybody that you're a monkey, and that you made a ridiculous mistake, and that you're not on my level. Yeah.
00:45:48I got one question, Mach.
00:45:50How is it I brought one bag down with me, and you decided to bring three?
00:45:55Oh, that hurt.
00:45:59Come on, where you going, coward?
00:46:05Where you going?
00:46:08You and me, for old times sake, for young times sake, or for today, tomorrow, how about forever?
00:46:23If you want some of me, put down the bucket.
00:46:28Bring it out, Ian.
00:46:33Tell these three.
00:46:40Ladies.
00:46:41You're stolen for time.
00:46:43Open the ring ropes up there, ladies.
00:46:50Dude, everybody here knows you're a coward.
00:46:54I'm not a coward.
00:46:55I just want to see you in that nice ensemble to get down on your knees and beg for me to fight you tonight.
00:47:03No.
00:47:04Here's the deal.
00:47:07My deal is this.
00:47:09I'm begging the big macho man in the sky that you got what it takes to come in here because this will never happen again.
00:47:24It's a lesson to be learned.
00:47:26What the hell is that?
00:47:27I'm a fool.
00:47:28I'm the party.
00:47:29I'm the macho man.
00:47:31I'm the future world heavyweight champion.
00:47:34And there's nothing that you can do about it because you're a punk.
00:47:40Let me tell you something, Savage.
00:47:42You're a punk.
00:47:43Let me get warm here a minute.
00:47:44Oh, let me get warm.
00:47:45You're a punk.
00:47:46Oh, my.
00:47:47You're a punk, brother.
00:47:48I'm gonna give you exactly what you deserve.
00:47:50I'm gonna come kick your ass right now.
00:47:52I'm gonna give you exactly what you deserve.
00:47:54You're doing the bait and switch.
00:47:56You're not a man.
00:47:57You're a punk.
00:47:58Oh, my God.
00:47:59Oh, my God.
00:48:10Oh, my God.
00:48:14Smelling good, man.
00:48:15Smelling good.
00:48:16You look sweet when it's corn, big boy.
00:48:23Big boy.
00:48:30Wow.
00:48:32They're gonna clean up the ring.
00:48:50There was a woman in that bag.
00:48:52That was a little bitty bag.
00:48:55That was a real bag, lady.
00:48:57What a shocking thing to do to the macho man.
00:49:03Man, we suggest lice up.
00:49:06Let me tell you something.
00:49:07You're laughing about this, but I'm telling you, Savage isn't laughing.
00:49:10And when he gets back to where he's going and looks in the mirror.
00:49:13Neither are the guys that are cleaning the ring.
00:49:15This is worth reliving once again.
00:49:19Sure.
00:49:20Roll that video tape.
00:49:21Take a look at it again.
00:49:23Look at this.
00:49:24I didn't know what to say.
00:49:26I mean, that was a duffel bag and a woman was in the, this is a moment.
00:49:32This is a memorable moment in the history of this program.
00:49:36Ew.
00:49:38That was really thick.
00:49:41You know, the closest I've ever got to this before was in high school.
00:49:45I worked in an animal hospital.
00:49:47And on weekends, I got to clean out dog kennels.
00:49:50I know what the guys in the ring are going through.
00:49:52Oh, yeah.
00:49:53Look at the look on David Crockett's face.
00:49:55He looks like he's ready to yarp.
00:49:58Oh.
00:50:00Oh, it's gonna take him a while to get that up.
00:50:02Oh.
00:50:03Oh, man.
00:50:08Well, they're gonna be able to smell this to Toledo.
00:50:11You know, all kidding aside, this has just raised that bar I was referring to earlier.
00:50:18One more notch between the Macho Man and Kevin Nash.
00:50:24Yeah.
00:50:25I mean, this thing is escalating to a point where it's, you know, in some ways it's entertaining.
00:50:31In other ways, it's starting to get a little frightening.
00:50:35I mean, where's he sticking him now?
00:50:36Well, we knew how angry he was when he came in tonight in the arena with that bucket.
00:50:40He brought it in.
00:50:41Now he can only imagine.
00:50:43I mean, the Savage is still gonna come out and wrestle Sting later on here tonight.
00:50:48What type of frame of mind is he gonna be in for that?
00:50:51Much less the Great American Bash coming up in Baltimore in a mere six days.
00:50:56Well, the other thing you gotta wonder about, Bobby, is, you know, both those guys are backstage right now.
00:51:01Yeah, I don't know.
00:51:03Is Macho Man gonna be here for the Sting match?
00:51:05I mean, these two guys could tear each other apart backstage.
00:51:09And I'm sure if anything goes down back there, we've got cameras on their way back there now as we're cleaning out this ring.
00:51:14We'll get it for you.
00:51:15We'll get it for you, but this is, it is funny though.
00:51:19You gotta admit it.
00:51:20Yeah.
00:51:21Yeah, but you know, you don't want to embarrass a Macho Man in front of millions and
00:51:24millions of people all over the world watching Nitro here.
00:51:27The last thing he wants to do is be embarrassed.
00:51:29He's gonna come back.
00:51:30He's gonna come back like you've never seen him come back before.
00:51:34You know, how'd you like to be the next guys in the ring?
00:51:38You have to slip around on this stuff.
00:51:40It's gotta be dangerous for the rest of us, guys.
00:51:44For the remainder of this program, I mean.
00:51:46Pincher should be at home.
00:51:47Well, here they come, the World Tag Team Champions.
00:51:53Diamond Dallas Page, Bam Bam Bigalow.
00:52:00And I'm sure you know by now, President, self-proclaimed greatest wrestler in the entire world,
00:52:09Ric Flair and Chris Benoit will be the challengers here as Flair has tried to bring
00:52:16the horsemen back together after the problems they've had over the past couple of weeks.
00:52:21You know, it surprises me that Benoit took the bait here from Flair.
00:52:26Benoit's one of the young guys at WCW, and there's a long list of them.
00:52:31You know, I'm not gonna come out here and beat myself up week in and week out about the mistakes I've made.
00:52:35But when I look back at the mistakes I've made, certainly talent is a big issue.
00:52:40Benoit, Malenko, Guerrero, you know, Billy Kidman.
00:52:46There's a lot of guys that are the future of this business that haven't gotten the opportunities that they should have gotten.
00:52:52Some of that is my fault, and undoubtedly a lot of it is Ric Flair's fault.
00:52:57At least now, a Benoit knows better.
00:53:04Well, let's call it as when you're a member of a horse, you always have been the type of guy to stay in the background,
00:53:15not be a champion on your own right, and just follow behind and protect Ric Flair.
00:53:30So Ric Flair comes out with Benoit, Arne Anderson with him, and a chance to bring gold back to the horsemen.
00:53:38As this match is for the WCW World Tag Team Championship, live here on TNT.
00:53:43I tell you what, I think a lot of Benoit, he's a smart guy, he's a competitor.
00:53:47You give him a shot at a World Tag Team Final, he's gonna take it.
00:53:49He'll dance with the devil if he has to.
00:53:51Don't think for a second that Benoit is not keeping an eye on Arne Anderson and Ric Flair.
00:53:57He's not only gonna worry about GDP and Bam Bam.
00:54:02Don't think for a second he's not thinking about Ric Flair and Arne Anderson.
00:54:07I would agree there was a lot of distrust when we saw back in the president's office
00:54:12moments ago, and we have heard the problems.
00:54:15All Benoit, you know, Benoit's not a political guy.
00:54:18He just wants to compete.
00:54:19He just wants to do exactly what he's doing now.
00:54:22And that's getting there and compete with intensity and to the best of his ability.
00:54:28He doesn't really care about the politics backstage.
00:54:31And he's taking on basically a two-minute watch here.
00:54:34First Paige, and then Bigelow, and he knocked Bigelow out.
00:54:37He turned around, Paige was there.
00:54:38Ducking low, and Benoit!
00:54:40And he just dives with a suicide dive through the ropes and hammers Bam Bam Bigelow.
00:54:44Well, like Eric says, you know, Benoit will just take it to you.
00:54:48He's come here to fight.
00:54:49He's come here to show you what he's all about.
00:54:51He's no slouch.
00:54:52You'll get right in there and do it with anybody.
00:54:54You know what I like about Benoit?
00:54:56And I think the reason so many of these fans respond to Benoit, he doesn't wanna run off and be a movie star.
00:55:01He doesn't wanna open his own taco shop.
00:55:03He doesn't wanna do anything but wrestle.
00:55:05This guy loves wrestling.
00:55:07He eats, sleeps, and breathes.
00:55:08Our fans respect him for it.
00:55:09And that's why he's in there now battling for the World Tag Team titles.
00:55:14And quite frankly, I think he'd do it by himself if he had to.
00:55:17No doubt about it, he would.
00:55:19Well, moments ago, he had to, but finally, Ric Flair does get involved.
00:55:23He nails Bigelow, but in the inside here, here comes Tony P into a couple of crossfakes.
00:55:30He could win it right here.
00:55:31He's got him.
00:55:32No, he's in the run.
00:55:33One, two, three, four.
00:55:36So close.
00:55:37One, two, three, four.
00:55:41He's got another movie coming out on TNT tomorrow night.
00:55:43You're gonna be hearing more about that tonight.
00:55:45That's Assault on Devil's Island, one of the highest rated programs on TNT.
00:55:50The first one, and I heard the second one is even better.
00:55:54And when you think about Hollywood Hogan, here's a guy that we may not see him in
00:55:59the wrestling ring again.
00:56:00I don't think Hollywood's decided as of yet what he wants to do in terms of
00:56:04getting back into the ring.
00:56:05But he is going to be a factor in this industry for as long as he chooses to be.
00:56:11Still one of the most recognized superstars in the history of this industry.
00:56:17Look at this.
00:56:18Here we go.
00:56:19Here we go.
00:56:20Page is in trouble now.
00:56:21And he's right in the middle of the ring.
00:56:22No place to go.
00:56:23He needs help.
00:56:24I bet in that, it hurts.
00:56:28I appreciate it.
00:56:30And DDP owes a lot to his buddy from Asbury Park.
00:56:35Got him out of it as well.
00:56:36And now the double-barrel.
00:56:38That hurt.
00:56:39That was really, really, really hurt.
00:56:41Sounds like a double-barrel shotgun going off.
00:56:45Flaring Benoit working great as a team over the top of the floor.
00:56:50Bigelow goes.
00:56:51You're talking Horseman now, Tony.
00:56:53That's what you're talking.
00:56:54Teamwork.
00:56:55Now what you're talking?
00:56:59Horseman.
00:57:01Sopranos.
00:57:02Guildings.
00:57:07Benoit is back in.
00:57:09Benoit keeps Cage.
00:57:11Great strategy.
00:57:12Keep the man down.
00:57:13Keep the man.
00:57:14What a difference in styles between Benoit and Flair.
00:57:17You know, Flair's a consummate professional.
00:57:19He's been in this industry for such a long time.
00:57:21Been at the top of his game for such a long time.
00:57:23But there's two different styles here.
00:57:25You look at Ric Flair, he'll chip away at you.
00:57:27He'll chip away at you.
00:57:28He works the chops.
00:57:29Ultimately, you know he's going to go for that 34.
00:57:32Benoit, he just stops.
00:57:34Anything that he can get his hands on.
00:57:35Your arms, your legs, your knees, your head, your chest.
00:57:38He stops, he chops, and he doesn't let go.
00:57:41You know you're exactly right.
00:57:42Flair will wait for you to make a mistake.
00:57:44Benoit will go out and create a mistake to happen.
00:57:47You're the mistake when you get in the ring with Benoit.
00:57:49He's just gonna go at you.
00:57:51He's, that's why they call him the Wolverine.
00:57:53The Crippler, Benoit.
00:57:56But he's in the clutches now.
00:57:58The Beast from the East, Bigelow.
00:58:00One of the most agile big man you'll ever find in pro wrestling.
00:58:04He is incredibly fast.
00:58:06You're talking about agile.
00:58:07Agile is one thing.
00:58:08He's limber.
00:58:09He's flexible.
00:58:10Cover one.
00:58:11Nice.
00:58:12He rolled the shoulder right at the last minute.
00:58:14Rolled that right shoulder.
00:58:15But you look at the speed of Bam Bam Bigelow.
00:58:18For a man his size, he's absolutely incredible.
00:58:21He moves like a 180 pounder.
00:58:24And here's a man, Diamond Dallas, world champion twice.
00:58:29Just about done it all on this sport.
00:58:31Never asked anybody for a favor.
00:58:33Nice to you.
00:58:34Nice to you.
00:58:35Man.
00:58:36That's Ric Flair on the out.
00:58:39Flair back in.
00:58:40And held back by Patrick.
00:58:42And that enables a double team on this end.
00:58:44Good tag team wrestling.
00:58:45It is.
00:58:46What are you doing?
00:58:47I tell you what, don't think Ric Flair is taking the competition seriously.
00:58:50Ric Flair is in as good a shape as I have seen him in probably the last eight or ten months.
00:58:56He's dropped some weight.
00:58:57His upper body's bigger.
00:58:59And he's got a tremendous amount of arms.
00:59:02And that's the one thing that that experience gives you is the ability to pace yourself.
00:59:07You don't get nervous in the ring.
00:59:09You don't rush moves that don't need to be rushed.
00:59:12You pace yourself.
00:59:13You pick your shots.
00:59:14You can say whatever you want about Ric Flair.
00:59:16You can say whatever you want about his age and how long he's been in this business.
00:59:19But the man is a consummate professional.
00:59:21I hate him.
00:59:22But he's a consummate professional.
00:59:23Nobody else has held that world title 14 times.
00:59:26He's done it all.
00:59:28I mean, you can name everybody in this sport from the beginning of time till now.
00:59:32He's done it.
00:59:33Ric Flair.
00:59:34Well, you got it.
00:59:35You got it.
00:59:36I just hate him.
00:59:37And I think the fans agree with it here, Eric.
00:59:42He cannot take the pressure.
00:59:44The guy overreacts the fans.
00:59:46He did it from the very beginning.
00:59:47The minute he got the world title, it ate him alive.
00:59:50The first time a couple fans turned against him when he was a World Heavyweight Champion,
00:59:54he went nuts.
00:59:55He went by and going in a hurry.
00:59:56Now it's Chock City.
00:59:58They turn Slayer right around.
01:00:00Combination blows.
01:00:01Right to left, Flair caught the corner now.
01:00:03Flair in no match land nowhere to go.
01:00:07A little payback for earlier in the match.
01:00:10And he caught him.
01:00:12Flair caught him good.
01:00:13Yeah, he did.
01:00:14That's one tough customer right there, people.
01:00:18Flair pulled himself back up, but he's still down to one.
01:00:23Meanwhile, the front of all this is Benoit.
01:00:27Benoit has been double teamed here.
01:00:29The referee's back turned.
01:00:30Look at 300 pounds pulling on the back of the head.
01:00:34Across the middle row.
01:00:36And Flair right over in front of us now.
01:00:39One, two, three.
01:00:44Ric Flair stalking Paige is back into the ring.
01:00:47Well, the referee gave chase on the outside.
01:00:50Meanwhile, look at how much punishment Benoit's taken.
01:00:54You're not gonna hurt Benoit.
01:00:56Yeah, you are.
01:00:58You're gonna slow him down, you're gonna stun him,
01:01:01you're not going to stop him.
01:01:03He's a human being, he can be stopped.
01:01:06Yeah, but we said so many times that the only way to put this guy out
01:01:10is to literally put him out, knock him out.
01:01:13Benoit has had that ability not only on offense that we've documented
01:01:18here in this match, but also on the defense.
01:01:21The endurance factor.
01:01:23The cardiovascular training that he goes through.
01:01:26And not only that, that intangible, that heart, that determination that we've
01:01:32seen from Chris Benoit throughout the years.
01:01:35Look at this front chance to reapply.
01:01:37Keeping Benoit in their corner, DDP, looking at his partner.
01:01:42And Benoit a long way and a lot of energy to get to the other side and make a tag.
01:01:48He's gotta get to that corner.
01:01:49He's gotta tag his partner.
01:01:50He's in a bad neighborhood right now.
01:01:52It's not gonna get any better.
01:01:54He's gotta get out of that corner.
01:01:56World Tag Team title's up for grabs here on Nitro.
01:01:59And when I'm here backstage, Tony, I don't know if you're getting this or not.
01:02:03Savage is going nuts.
01:02:05Nash is still backstage.
01:02:07Sting is ready to go.
01:02:08Sting has got a shot at the Macho Man Randy Savage.
01:02:11Don't tell me, not for a second, that the Macho Man is even thinking about Sting.
01:02:17This is not a good night for the Macho Man Randy Savage.
01:02:21Yeah, you're right.
01:02:22He has come completely unglued in the back.
01:02:24And you gotta wonder how much focus he's gonna have for Sting when these two men
01:02:29wrestle on this program tonight.
01:02:32And Eric, as you said, if something breaks in the back, and it could happen any
01:02:35moment here, our cameras will be ready to go to show you what's going down.
01:02:40Arne Anderson looks in.
01:02:42Benoit for a third time tries to pick one half of the champs up.
01:02:47But a good wide vertical base here by Paige, preventing now Benoit from moving
01:02:52much closer to Flair's corner.
01:02:54Look at the fight in Benoit.
01:02:58He wants to get to that corner.
01:02:59You're not gonna stop him.
01:03:00He's gonna get there some way, somehow.
01:03:03Flair encouraging Benoit to do it again.
01:03:07He picks him up again.
01:03:08A little bit closer.
01:03:10He's within reaching distance.
01:03:11But I'm not sure Benoit realizes how close he is to the corner.
01:03:14Well, look at Diamond Dallas.
01:03:15He holds on.
01:03:16He's not gonna let him make that tag.
01:03:18Come on.
01:03:19Good step, baby.
01:03:21He got pounded that time.
01:03:24Back into that there.
01:03:25You can see where the sewage was moments ago.
01:03:28How'd you like to be on that mat right now?
01:03:31Not a chance.
01:03:32I don't care, man.
01:03:33World Tag Team title or not.
01:03:35I don't know.
01:03:36Well, you do what you have to do.
01:03:38You got a chance to win it, you win it.
01:03:40No matter what, you have to fight through or fight in.
01:03:43The Beast takes flight and he missed the runway.
01:03:47Rolling out of the way.
01:03:49Can Benoit tag in Ric Flair.
01:03:53Flair wants in.
01:03:54He wants in real bad.
01:03:55Either that or he's really hot at that top turnbuckle.
01:03:58Here he comes.
01:04:01Make the tag, make the tag, Benoit.
01:04:04Page wants a tag on the other end.
01:04:07Benoit almost there.
01:04:09Yes, or is he?
01:04:11He's gonna make it, he's gotta make it.
01:04:13One foot away.
01:04:14What do we have here?
01:04:18What?
01:04:19He's short-armed him.
01:04:21Flair.
01:04:23He stuffed him.
01:04:24And look at Owen Anderson.
01:04:29Look at him.
01:04:30Look at him.
01:04:32Look at him.
01:04:34Look at him.
01:04:35Look at him.
01:04:36Look at him.
01:04:37And now Benoit's alone at the mercy of the World Tag Team champs.
01:04:42He's in there all by himself.
01:04:44There's no help now.
01:04:45He can't do it.
01:04:46He can't do it.
01:04:47Oh yes, there is him.
01:04:51Owen Anderson.
01:04:52Don't do it.
01:04:53Don't do it.
01:04:54He shouldn't even be up on the apron.
01:04:56But he wants in.
01:04:58This is out of control.
01:05:00Somebody needs to get up there and get on Anderson off that ring apron.
01:05:03He should not be in that ring.
01:05:04You're right.
01:05:05He's not licensed.
01:05:06He is not, he should not be on that apron.
01:05:09And Benoit should know better than to tag him.
01:05:12And where is Flair right now?
01:05:13Where is Flair?
01:05:14Flair is worse than what that girl, that bag lady dropped on Savage.
01:05:22He just.
01:05:23Look at the back.
01:05:24Look at the back on Benoit, how he's bent.
01:05:26You don't go that way.
01:05:27No one does.
01:05:28The big set up.
01:05:29He just hung Benoit at the dry, that whole thing.
01:05:32And that's a 350 pound man pulling back on his neck.
01:05:36Arne Anderson working on the gym right now.
01:05:40We all realize he has no cause to be in there.
01:05:43But the fans want Anderson in.
01:05:45And look at the fans stand.
01:05:46Listen to him.
01:05:47Perry Shattered has come out.
01:05:51Perry Shattered wants to get the tag in.
01:05:54And no, Ric Flair.
01:05:56Perry Shattered is licensed.
01:05:59He should be there.
01:06:00He's in a better position to help Benoit now, more than anybody.
01:06:07Shattered gets the tag.
01:06:08Benoit just go towards the corner.
01:06:10And he met the hand of Shattered.
01:06:12Nice move by Shattered.
01:06:15Drop toehold on the big man.
01:06:19Catches the boost, spins him around 360 degrees.
01:06:21Ducks under, picks him up, belly to belly, up and over.
01:06:24And man alive Shattered.
01:06:26Shattered, did you see that?
01:06:28Shattered is cleaning house.
01:06:30I love this.
01:06:31He is cleaning house.
01:06:33What's the way he did a week ago?
01:06:35He's got picked up.
01:06:37This is gonna be it.
01:06:39One, two, three.
01:06:41Yes!
01:06:42What do we have here?
01:06:44What do we have here?
01:06:45What do we have here?
01:06:46What's the decision?
01:06:48What is the official decision here?
01:06:50We're gonna have to listen in to see.
01:06:53They're passing belts.
01:06:54They are passing belts.
01:06:55They are passing belts.
01:06:56The winners of the match.
01:06:58And new WCW World Content Champions.
01:07:04Whoa.
01:07:05The Crippler Chris Benoit and P. Saturn.
01:07:11How about that?
01:07:13My goodness.
01:07:14And Canyon has come out.
01:07:16Celebrating.
01:07:19This is night show, I love it.
01:07:21Chris Canyon, Benoit, and especially Perry Saturn, good friends,
01:07:26have been for a long time.
01:07:27Wait a minute.
01:07:29The Flatliner.
01:07:30Canyon attacks Saturn.
01:07:33Hold on now.
01:07:40Benoit's in big trouble in the corner.
01:07:45Saturn and Benoit at the mercy of three men.
01:07:50You know what, guys?
01:07:51You remember last week?
01:07:53You remember who went down from a punch from Paige?
01:07:57Yes.
01:07:58Go ahead, Andrew.
01:07:59It was Canyon.
01:08:00So I bet you Canyon never went to the hospital.
01:08:05I bet you when we looked in the back and we saw Canyon face down,
01:08:09a double diamond cutter.
01:08:11He had never been, I bet you that was a ruse.
01:08:14They are destroying Saturn and Benoit.
01:08:19Benoit has been double-crossed not once, but twice.
01:08:24Interesting, it's gonna be interesting to see who he is.
01:08:29It's gonna be interesting to see what the final decision is here, because they handed the belts over.
01:08:34These guys basically, it's theft by swindle as far as I'm concerned.
01:08:38Who can you trust?
01:08:39I'm going backstage.
01:08:40All right, we'll be back on Nitro.
01:08:42Wow.
01:08:43Nash is the world champion, but not for long.
01:08:47You want the belt from me?
01:08:48You cry it out of my dead hands.
