00:00:00On behalf of my whole family, we want to thank all the wrestling fans all around the world
00:00:18that have sent their love and their support and their condolences.
00:00:22I've lived for wrestling, and my family has lived for wrestling, and we've died for wrestling.
00:00:31I'm going to take some time, and I'm going to think about everything, and I'll put everything in perspective.
00:00:36If I never get the chance to ever say it again, I just want to thank all the fans everywhere that I ever had.
00:00:47Thank you very much.
00:00:59It's such a suffering Bill's character.
00:01:04And me and the Macho Man, we figure you got a lot of suffering to go through.
00:01:10I see that Sid's wearing my belt, so I thought maybe tonight, Sid, me and you, have a little home media match.
00:01:17Seven could not stay out any length of time.
00:01:20He's crazy.
00:01:21And now three men on a fallen world champion, using the belt.
00:01:27This has been another charade.
00:01:29Another sting.
00:01:30Guess what?
00:01:31That's the real deal.
00:01:32No question.
00:01:35He powerbombed the wrong guy.
00:01:37Nash over what he's doing.
00:01:39That's the real sting that helped him out.
00:02:09WCW World Championship Wrestling presents Monday Nitro.
00:02:22We're live from Jacksonville, Florida.
00:02:24Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Jacksonville Coliseum.
00:02:28And tonight, three solid hours of professional wrestling action, including, ladies and gentlemen, tonight, a new world heavyweight champion.
00:02:40That's exactly right.
00:02:41And tonight, the Macho Man Randy Savage, last night at Badge of the Beach, down in Fort Lauderdale, wins the belt.
00:02:50With that in mind, we take you to meet Gene Okerlund.
00:02:54All right.
00:02:55Thank you very much, Tony Schiavone.
00:02:57Ladies and gentlemen, it is hot in Jacksonville tonight.
00:03:02And I guarantee you, it's going to get hotter right here on Nitro.
00:03:06Last night, down in Fort Lauderdale, it was the Macho Man Randy Savage pinning Kevin Nash.
00:03:14Ladies and gentlemen, I present the new WCW Heavyweight Champion of the World, the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
00:03:27Oh, yeah.
00:03:28Yeah, you hear the moves.
00:03:31But there's no denying, Bobby the Brain Heenan, that Savage, with a lot of help from Gorgeous George last night,
00:03:40in that wild tag team match, became the Heavyweight Champion of the World.
00:03:45Well, I told you something about Savage.
00:03:47He's the kind of a man when he sets his mind to do something, he does it.
00:03:51He said he'd become Heavyweight Champion of the World, and the man did not lie to us or let us down.
00:03:56You're looking right now at the World Heavyweight Champion, the most dangerous man in not only wrestling,
00:04:03any sport he would compete in, Randy Macho Man Savage.
00:04:07I would have to agree with him, certainly one of the most explosive.
00:04:11And because of the stipulations laid forth by Kevin Nash last week on Thunder,
00:04:17the man who pinned Nash would be the world champ.
00:04:20And that man was the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
00:04:26And a sold out Jacksonville Coliseum, Savage with the gold strap once again,
00:04:31is at Mean Gene Okerlund.
00:04:33Macho Man Randy Savage, our congratulations, you are the WCW Heavyweight Champion of the World.
00:04:46However, the reaction from this capacity crowd here tonight,
00:04:52I don't know if they're exactly in love with the fact that you got that title or not,
00:04:55but you did prove the skeptics wrong.
00:04:57I told you, Gene Okerlund, I told each and every one of the zillions of people all around the world.
00:05:11Some people can accept it, and others can't.
00:05:16I am the baddest dude on the planet, because I am the WCW World Heavyweight Champion,
00:05:30and I thank everybody for honoring me tonight.
00:05:36Well, that might be overstated. I don't think they're honoring you here tonight.
00:05:41And by the way, Macho Man, I'm very curious. Last night, your entourage was present. Where are they tonight?
00:05:49This is something I had to do myself. Yeah, because I'm a self-made man. I'm the boss.
00:05:57I'm the boss. Who's the boss? The Macho Man is the boss.
00:06:08No, you don't understand. Last night, in a tag team match, Sid Vicious was very vicious.
00:06:24And all I had to do was look across the ring into the eyes of big sexy Kevin Nash,
00:06:36and he was hypnotized. He couldn't handle the madness, if you know where I'm coming from.
00:06:45But I will continue to do what I said I could do. And I came through that when the chips were down,
00:06:56I'm the man that could close the deal. Tonight, I challenge anybody.
00:07:04Anybody?
00:07:06Let me say this again. I challenge anybody but Kevin Nash, big sexy.
00:07:26Because he does not deserve a chance at the title. Because he is a zero in life.
00:07:38And I got his number, and his number is zero. So that's the deal, Mean Gene Oakland.
00:07:46Meet the Macho Man Randy Savage, and I happen to be the World Heavyweight Champion.
00:07:51I think, well, I will shake your hand. But I must say, there is a cloud of controversy
00:07:58that still hangs over that picture.
00:08:01What's this?
00:08:04Damon and Jacksonville, and would you look at what we got?
00:08:14My goodness.
00:08:16Out of nowhere, the one, the only, the only one, Hogan, has come out.
00:08:30And Savage is starting to get beside himself.
00:08:32Starting, he's got the Zerk in the ring.
00:08:39Hogan has walked out unexpectedly, shockingly.
00:08:44Here on Monday Night Live.
00:08:46And listen to the ovation.
00:08:49I'll tell you, I don't like the guy personally, but you gotta admit, Hogan is right here.
00:08:57Get him out of here, Eden.
00:08:58I can't do anything about it.
00:08:59Get him out of here.
00:09:01Ladies and gentlemen, Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
00:09:07Get him out of here.
00:09:08Did you hear the reaction to this crowd when you walked out here tonight?
00:09:12Well, you know something, Mean Gene?
00:09:16Am I hearing things?
00:09:18Or did the Macho Man say anybody?
00:09:25Yep.
00:09:25All right, the world champion has made a mistake.
00:09:35You were in the category of Kevin Nash, Big Sexy.
00:09:39Both of you belong together.
00:09:42Both of you need to get the hell out of Dodge, because I own Dodge.
00:09:47So it's not you, not today, not any day.
00:09:51Well, you know, I saw what went down last night, Macho Man.
00:09:59And Big Sexy should have been the champion right now.
00:10:02But you know something, Macho Man, don't ask because you might receive.
00:10:14It's already been done, brother.
00:10:16I'm going for your title tonight, dude.
00:10:18Wow.
00:10:19Well, he said anybody.
00:10:23He can't go back on his word.
00:10:24You did say anybody.
00:10:26You know what?
00:10:31I overreacted.
00:10:33I just gave you a way out.
00:10:36But you didn't bite.
00:10:38And I'm glad you didn't bite.
00:10:40Because today is a brand new day.
00:10:44And the man with the stroke is the Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:10:49And I would love to give you a challenge tonight.
00:10:53Because I'm going to beat you and defeat you.
00:10:56And get you the hell out of here.
00:10:59Because I never liked you.
00:11:01And you're through.
00:11:02Oh, yeah.
00:11:06Well, you're the Macho Man.
00:11:07There's just one thing left.
00:11:09And that's to do it, brother.
00:11:11Because when Hollywood and all the Wolfpack NW lights light up on you,
00:11:16it's gonna be for life, brother.
00:11:19All right, I think we have a deal that is now etched in stone,
00:11:23kicking off this edition of WCW Monday Nightfall.
00:11:27That's still to come in this three-hour spectacular.
00:11:32This crowd is on its feet.
00:11:34Things are wild in Jacksonville.
00:11:36And Nightfall's gonna be right back.
00:11:37Don't go away.
00:11:39Oh, my.
00:11:39Oh, my.
00:11:48What up, Mach?
00:11:50Oh, yeah.

00:12:22WCW's One Day Nitro brought to you in part by
00:12:461-800-COLLECT, the easy way to save.
00:12:52Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Monday Night.
00:12:57Can you believe what we have for our main event?
00:13:01Hollywood Hogan has come out to accept the challenge
00:13:04of the world champion Macho Man Randy Savage,
00:13:08Bobby the Brain Heenan, and Hogan,
00:13:10who not too long ago, back in April,
00:13:12had to undergo extensive knee surgery,
00:13:15comes back in the ring tonight
00:13:17going after the heavyweight championship of the world.
00:13:20I think the thing we have to keep in our mind,
00:13:21what Savage said.
00:13:23Savage said, I've never liked you, Hogan.
00:13:25I've never liked you.
00:13:26And anything Hogan has ever put his mind to do,
00:13:29as Savage has, they've accomplished.
00:13:31This is going to be one heck of a fight tonight.
00:13:33It is going to be one of the best ever.
00:13:36It's coming up later on tonight.
00:13:37Hollywood Hogan, the Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:13:40Hogan said a lot of truisms in the ring.
00:13:42He said Nash, his close friend as we know,
00:13:45member of the NWO Wolfpack,
00:13:46should be the world heavyweight champion right now.
00:13:50Let's go back and show you what happened last night
00:13:52at the World Title bout.
00:13:55Kevin Nash came in with the world bout,
00:13:57and of course, his partner,
00:13:58the man he didn't trust, Sting.
00:13:59It was a tag team bout, as we know.
00:14:02There you see gorgeous George seeking refuge
00:14:04in Nash's corner.
00:14:06The Macho Man did not like that at all,
00:14:08but the tag team match won his plan.
00:14:10Remember, the one man who could pin the world champion,
00:14:12Kevin Nash would be crowned the new heavyweight champion of the world.
00:14:16Sid Vicious, the strong man that he is,
00:14:18really put on display of power last night
00:14:20with a variety of moves and a rear chin lock on Sting.
00:14:24The Macho Man, as you said, brain,
00:14:26the most dangerous man in our sport,
00:14:28was on a rampage as well.
00:14:29Kevin Nash did come in,
00:14:31even though he knew his world title was in the balance.
00:14:33Picking up Sid Vicious, putting him down,
00:14:36but Sting with a variety of stinger splashes
00:14:38had the momentum going his way.
00:14:40But during the course of the match,
00:14:43gorgeous George came from behind,
00:14:45nailed Kevin Nash,
00:14:47then the big elbow,
00:14:48and the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
00:14:50thanks to some help,
00:14:52and the world title around his waist.
00:14:54As we take you to the Nitro Girls.
00:14:58Mm-hmm.
00:14:58Randy, do you?
00:15:01Randy, do you love me?
00:15:08Wow.
00:15:10Yeah.
00:15:13Yeah.
00:15:16Yeah!
00:15:21Yeah.
00:15:21Yeah.
00:15:22Yeah.
00:15:30Yeah.
00:15:31Wow, just about as hot as you can get, the Nitro Girls, beautiful Nitro Girls.
00:15:53Before we get a wrestling action here on WCW Monday Nitro,
00:15:57we're also gonna now take a look at the music video everyone's talking about.
00:16:01Crap is crap.
00:16:04Ladies and gentlemen, please make welcome to Music City, USA,
00:16:08to perform their chart-topping single.
00:16:10With their killer new song, Kurt Hedding.
00:16:13In the West, Texas,
00:16:14Rap, Rap, Rap, Rap, Rap, Rap, Rap is crap.
00:16:17Rap is crap!
00:16:20And it goes like this right here.
00:16:22A one, two, a one, two, three, four.
00:16:31I like country music, I love country girls, I like Millie Nelson, and don't forget about Merle.
00:16:48There's only one thing that I hate,
00:16:51Cause it's a bunch of crap.
00:16:54I, I, I, I hate rap.
00:16:57I, I, I hate rap.
00:17:01There's only one thing that I hate, Cause it's a bunch of crap.
00:17:16I, I, I, I, I hate rap.
00:17:20There's only one thing that I hate, Cause it's a bunch of crap.
00:17:27I, I, I, I hate rap.
00:17:33Rap is crap.
00:17:46Rap is crap.
00:17:52Kurt Hedding in the West, Texas, Rednecks with Rap is Crap.
00:17:56As the Rap is Crap World Tour continues here in Sunni, Florida.
00:18:01As we're ready to go with our first match here tonight on WCW Monday night with Hollywood Hogan.
00:18:07Wow.
00:18:08Unexpectedly shot the entire wrestling world and he'll, will return to action for the first time since April tonight.
00:18:16When his knee was injured by one diamond, Dallas Page.
00:18:19And we'll recall that in Tacoma, Washington.
00:18:22But you know Brain, you think about this, he has been nothing less in this sport over the years than superhuman.
00:18:30But even a man who's superhuman by Hollywood Hogan, you gotta wonder how the knee is, how much
00:18:38he could go on this knee.
00:18:39And you gotta realize that Savage is gonna go right for that knee tonight in this title bout later on here on Night Raw.
00:18:46Well, they're both veterans.
00:18:47They both know what to do when they step through those ropes.
00:18:50Hogan knows he has a, had a knee surgery.
00:18:52Savage knows he has a knee surgery.
00:18:54Hogan knows he's gonna go for the knee.
00:18:56Savage is one, he wants to go for the knee.
00:18:58This is gonna be one great fight I wouldn't miss.
00:19:01I'd even pay to see it.
00:19:02I don't pay for nothing.
00:19:04You don't have to pay for it.
00:19:06It's live tonight on WCW.
00:19:08But I would.
00:19:09Monday Nitro.
00:19:12I got a little story, a little history about these two gentlemen in the ring from Lake today.
00:19:16This is the first time.
00:19:17Ay, ay, ay, ay.
00:19:19Where my dogs at?
00:19:20Where they at?
00:19:21Yo, yo, yo, let me speak on this.
00:19:26Orale.
00:19:27Orale.
00:19:29Arriba la raza.
00:19:31Arriba la raza.
00:19:33Hey, dude, we got some boots out about to fight life.
00:19:35But everybody knows that K-Dawg, yo sigo siendo un vato loco forever.
00:19:41But more poorly than all that, Jacksonville is bout, he bout it.
00:19:45And right.
00:19:47And wiped the outing is what it is.
00:19:49He wiped him out from behind.
00:19:51Blindsided him right from behind.
00:19:53You know, Mike today was telling me this is the first time these two have met in a single match.
00:19:59Fought each other one on one.
00:20:01There's so much hatred between these two.
00:20:03Some guys have taken people.
00:20:05Sometimes the guy would go against the guy.
00:20:06Sometimes the guy's, okay, I'll handle him and I'll handle it down the road.
00:20:10These two men hate each other.
00:20:12This is gonna be one great fight.
00:20:13And it was a hatred that was formed down in Mexico where both men have wrestled extensively.
00:20:19Huge stars.
00:20:20And huge stars down in Mexico, there is no question.
00:20:23And Vampiro comes off and nails Conan flying through the air.
00:20:27A very bizarre look to Vampiro.
00:20:29I don't think there's any question if you look past the tattoos and the bizarre look.
00:20:33The man is a fine athlete.
00:20:35He is very powerful, very strong.
00:20:37And he is not letting up here on Conan in the early goings.
00:20:40Like I said, these two hate each other.
00:20:41It's gonna be a great fight.
00:20:42Knife edge down putting Conan now down to one knee.
00:20:48Johnny Boone the referee in this the opening count.
00:20:50With fans, I know watching WCW Monday night through all around the world,
00:20:55you probably were stunned as well as we were to find out it is true.
00:21:00We double-ticked it during the commercial break just to make sure we weren't dreaming.
00:21:04Hollywood Hogan is gonna wrestle the Macho Man for the world title tonight in our main event here on TNT.
00:21:13And Vampiro, a little trash talking going on.
00:21:16You talk about the hatred all the time.
00:21:20Almost a flip into a senton splash that did not connect.
00:21:26Conan back up.
00:21:27What are you talking about wiping him out?
00:21:29Took him right out of his boots almost.
00:21:31Bella's having a bad time.
00:21:33That one was with authority from Conan.
00:21:39Good offensive mounted in return.
00:21:41Cover one, two.
00:21:42No share.
00:21:44Offensive that time by Vampiro.
00:21:47Conan shrugged it off with a powerbomb.
00:21:50Got the advantage momentarily.
00:21:51But Vampiro still light on his feet here.
00:21:53That time ducking a clothesline into the midsection.
00:21:56Yes.
00:21:57That did 18.
00:21:58And a good move it was.
00:22:00What a main event we got tonight.
00:22:01Cover one, two.
00:22:03Unbelievable main event.
00:22:05You gotta wonder though.
00:22:07Hogan is a man who certainly has been synonymous with the world title throughout his career.
00:22:14You just gotta wonder, is it too early?
00:22:16I would think not.
00:22:17I think Hogan knows better than anybody else.
00:22:19And Hogan knows Savage and Savage knows Hogan.
00:22:22This is gonna be a classic.
00:22:23A classic for you tonight here on TNT.
00:22:27Meanwhile Conan, as Vampiro tries to slow down K-Dog's momentum, goes on the outside.
00:22:34Conan waits on him in the ring.
00:22:36Well, now he does and he goes after Vampiro.
00:22:41He finds him.
00:22:42Look at that trash talking.
00:22:44As we talked about, he talked about the long story, the hatred, just like these two men have had
00:22:50with each other throughout the years.
00:22:52It's cheer time.
00:22:53And Conan, he didn't really hit him and just do it at him.
00:22:57Conan got the hands up, but it's still connected.
00:23:00And all of a sudden, Johnny Moon has called him down.
00:23:02He's had enough.
00:23:04Yeah, he's counting both men out or what, wait a minute, what did he do?
00:23:08Is it a double count out or was someone disqualified here?
00:23:10He's signaling for something.
00:23:12Standing sidekick, I think he's gonna disqualify Vampiro for throwing the chair at Conan.
00:23:20So this match is over, but Vampiro's not done, Brain.
00:23:24Not done at all.
00:23:26He's gonna pick up Conan, just a dog right on the back of his neck.
00:23:30Oh.
00:23:31After throwing the chair in his face.
00:23:35After nanning him with the chair, Vampiro not heeding the words at all of the referee.
00:23:42Conan wins that is one of the case in Vampiro.
00:23:47You talked about the feud, the hatred, the dislike.
00:23:50It literally exploded in the ring here tonight on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:23:54What a way to start it.
00:23:55What a way to start it tonight that's gonna conclude with one of the biggest moments ever.
00:24:00Hollywood Hogan has returned, and he'll face the new champion.
00:24:04The Macho Man Randy Savage tonight, it's for the world title.
00:24:07This is the one and only Monday Nitro.
00:24:12Last night, it was a sham of the match.
00:24:14Dean Malenko was going after the US title, held by David Flair.
00:24:18Ladies and gentlemen, as you see Arn Anderson got involved, so did Asia.
00:24:22Malenko has put the technical relief on Asia.
00:24:25Charles Robinson dons the referee shirt.
00:24:27Ric Flair knocks out Dean Malenko with the belt.
00:24:30David Flair in what is a horrible scene still is the US Heavyweight Champion, Brain.
00:24:36Well, possession is 90% of the law or something like that, but he's got the title and he still
00:24:43has the title.
00:24:43Beat him then, if you don't like him.
00:24:45Don't give me that old cliche.
00:24:46He is no more a champion than I am.
00:24:48No, but he's carrying the belt.
00:24:49Well, we got good news for all the wrestling fans around the world.
00:24:52Dean Malenko gets a chance for some revenge.
00:24:55Because tonight, not only do we have Hogan and Savage with a world title coming up tonight,
00:25:01live on TNT.
00:25:03Look at this.
00:25:04Ric Flair's got to face Dean Malenko.
00:25:06It's about time.
00:25:07It's coming up very soon.
00:25:09Don't touch that clicker.

00:26:11I don't believe he's the godfather of soul.
00:26:13We'll rip the cape off him.
00:26:16Tell him that.
00:26:17No, I'm not gonna do that.
00:26:18I'm just pointing out a fact.
00:26:20That's godfather, you know who the godfather of soul is, don't you?
00:26:24Give me a boy.
00:26:25Yeah.
00:26:26Who is it?
00:26:27The cat.
00:26:28I shouldn't have asked you that question.
00:26:29You can read, can't you?
00:26:31Well, the man can certainly, as you would say, cut a rug or two.
00:26:36And Sonny Ohno has the ruby slippers in the center of the ring.
00:26:42He's got the dugans out.
00:26:45Isn't it amazing that Hollywood Hogan is going to fight for the world title tonight?
00:26:50We're gonna have to pick that up in a minute.
00:26:51The cat's got the stick.
00:26:53Now, I'm gonna show you rednecks here.
00:26:56Now I'm gonna show the Nitro Girl just how to dance.
00:27:00Hit it.
00:27:03Show the Nitro Girls how to dance.
00:27:10Yeah.
00:27:14He's got some pretty good moves, but I would rather see the Nitro Girls any day.
00:27:19I would too, but he's a great dancer.
00:27:21You gotta admit that.
00:27:22Eat your heart out, JB.
00:27:30The cat, who faced the Disco Inferno last night.
00:27:34And an opening battle on the Badge to the Beach.
00:27:40Feeling very good.
00:27:42Cut it off!
00:27:43Now, you people in here know how great I am.
00:27:57I'm a great dancer.
00:27:58I have a beautiful face.
00:28:02And I'm a bad man.
00:28:18Has he run out of things to say?
00:28:20I mean-
00:28:21No.
00:28:22Okay.
00:28:23I want you redneck to sit your asses down and listen to what I got to say.
00:28:27Obviously you didn't.
00:28:27You know, I hate rednecks and I hate Jacksonville.
00:28:34I might close the town down tonight by whooping every redneck in this redneck city.
00:28:43I'm the greatest.
00:28:43I'm the greatest.
00:28:44I can whoop anybody, baby.
00:28:47Anybody.
00:28:48You know, I'm going to tell you something, Sonny.
00:28:51I saw something last night that really teed me on.
00:28:54I saw two chumps in the ring with boxing gloves on.
00:28:59I'm talking about Buff Bagwell.
00:29:05You know, not only did he just look bad with the boxing gloves on,
00:29:11Buff Bagwell's mom had to help him.
00:29:14And I'll tell you what, I will want Buff and his mama.
00:29:22Well, I'm going to tell you right now, Buff, your mom is out of my weight class.
00:29:27She's a super heavyweight, so she had to step down and wait to fight me.
00:29:37He should know by now, you don't need to say Buff's name but one time.
00:29:43Here he comes.
00:29:44Buff the stuff, Bagwell.
00:29:49For Buff Bagwell, I would think in many ways over the past couple of weeks,
00:29:54and especially last night, a defining moment in what has become a remarkable career.
00:30:00A win over Roddy Piper.
00:30:02This is going to be a major, major, major star in our industry.
00:30:11Think about it, April 22, 1998.
00:30:15He went down on Thunder, was taken to the hospital.
00:30:19C3 and C5, vertebrae damage.
00:30:22Never thought it'd walk again.
00:30:24Let's wrestle, and look at him now.
00:30:26And during surgery, he almost bought the farm, you know.
00:30:29Yeah?
00:30:30That is the stuff.
00:30:44Where did the cat go?
00:30:44You know what, cat?
00:30:51The first thing I got to say, shut your mouth.
00:31:02I got two things to say.
00:31:03It was one before, but now it's two.
00:31:05The first one goes without words, and it goes like this.
00:31:17Now, I said shut your mouth.
00:31:20The second one goes, I'm buff, and you ain't the stuff.
00:31:35And you know what?
00:31:36I just added a third.
00:31:38I love Jacksonville.
00:31:41Well, I'm going to tell you something, buff.
00:31:48You and Jacksonville can kiss my ass.
00:31:55There's no call for that.
00:32:00You know what?
00:32:01This just kind of came to me as I was looking in your eyes a little bit,
00:32:05talking about the three-time champion that you are.
00:32:09You know?
00:32:10I'm not too sure Jacksonville may not want to see Buff Daddy kick your ass.
00:32:18So I'm going to use an old saying.
00:32:25I'm going to use an old saying, brother.
00:32:27Don't sing it.
00:32:29Bring it.
00:32:32We've got a challenge laid out, and we've got Buff on the receiving end.
00:32:36The cat wasting no time.
00:32:38As Buff laid down the challenge, we've got an impromptu match going on here with the cat and Buff Bagwell.
00:32:45Well, Bagwell came out.
00:32:47The cat said he'd fight anybody in the building.
00:32:49He didn't care who they were.
00:32:52He always says that.
00:32:53But then when he talked about Buff's mother, when he talked about Buff Bagwell,
00:32:58who, as we know, talking about momentum is red hot.
00:33:02He crossed the line as far as Bagwell is concerned.
00:33:05But as Bagwell turned his back, that was a critical mistake.
00:33:09You knew the cat would take advantage of it.
00:33:12Well, you have to take advantage of this sport.
00:33:14That's the way it operates.
00:33:15He'll take advantage of you if you let him.
00:33:19Certainly Buff still relishing the night last night.
00:33:23Needs to forget about it.
00:33:24Oh!
00:33:25Down goes the cat!
00:33:26There's the stuff coming out of Buff right now.
00:33:31Soniano tried to slither in.
00:33:34Looking in his packets.
00:33:38Like a big jar of mustard.
00:33:39Oh!
00:33:40He plucks him out.
00:33:43Oh, boy.
00:33:44And the cat dropped Bagwell.
00:33:46Did he ever.
00:33:47In the back of the head.
00:33:50With the shoe.
00:33:51Look at that.
00:33:51The shoe was on the foot.
00:33:53The shoe was on the foot.
00:33:54Buff's out.
00:33:56Sonny's gonna count.
00:34:02There's your winner.
00:34:02There's no referee in the fight.
00:34:09Sure, with the ability that he has, and the karate skill that he has,
00:34:19you put that hard shoe on that foot, they'll knock anybody out.
00:34:22Especially kicking the man from behind.
00:34:27And look at this.
00:34:29Trying to show up Bagwell even further.
00:34:31Well, it's not a good moment for Buff Bagwell, but you can better believe he'll rebound from this.
00:34:36And how about last night for the Buffer?
00:34:39Let's go back.
00:34:39What's that?
00:34:40What's that?
00:34:40What's that?
00:34:41Toothmatch in the beach.
00:34:41America's Judge Mills Lane was providing.
00:34:44And he came out as they both had the gloves on the gloves.
00:34:47Rowdy Roddy Piper with Ric Flair, the one and only Buff, the stuff, Buff Bagwell.
00:34:52It was a fight.
00:34:53And as we talked about Buff's mother, Judy Bagwell came out to be Buff's second.
00:34:57Of course, Piper showed his blood as we had talked brain.
00:35:00The man can really throw a punch or two.
00:35:02Oh, he can.
00:35:02He's boxed his whole life as a child, in his teens.
00:35:06He's a fighter.
00:35:07No doubt about that.
00:35:08Buff didn't back down though.
00:35:09Buff proved a lot.
00:35:10Not only a great wrestler, but a great fighter.
00:35:12Short left jab did Buff back and forth on the face of Rowdy Roddy Piper.
00:35:16But Buff Bagwell's eyes were burning.
00:35:19We all wondered why.
00:35:20Judy Bagwell trying to, you know, maybe take the sponge and wipe off the forehead.
00:35:24But we had found out, as Piper kept the jab alive, that Ric Flair had straight substance
00:35:29on the gloves of Piper.
00:35:31And there you see Judge Mills Lane checking in.
00:35:34But Buff Bagwell did not back down for one bit.
00:35:37He kept the pressure on.
00:35:38Judy Bagwell got involved with the bucket over the head of the Rowdy one.
00:35:43And Buff picked it into high gear.
00:35:44Regardless of what Flair could do to the glove, Buff Bagwell was the winner last night.
00:35:58Back at Jacksonville with four words.
00:36:01I want a Nitro girl.
00:36:04For me.
00:36:06That's six words.

00:40:40it's a breath of fresh air there's a whole new kind of energy a whole new kind of excitement
00:40:44here tonight it's great to see it back it's great to see hollywood hogan back
00:40:47as claire comes out i know you have a lot of thoughts about claire in this match the direction
00:40:54that he's taking with his son but let me also say that you were with hogan when he went in for knee
00:40:59surgery and he wasn't hung up you go back to april when he was hurt by diamond dallas page and
00:41:04we were all shocked to see him come out challenged for a match but if anybody could come back quickly
00:41:11from a knee injury it's a guy with the motivation the perseverance of a hollywood hogan don't let me
00:41:15cut you off but let me cut you off i told you when it happened hollywood hogan is a competitor i knew
00:41:20he'd be back i knew that you know as long as he's been training he knows his body well he knows how to
00:41:25train there was no doubt in my mind that he'd be back any great athlete you know has to suffer an injury
00:41:30from time to time you know it's the ability to overcome the injury that separates the good ones
00:41:34from the ones that wish they were great and uh hogan is certainly a great one i expect him back
00:41:39at full force listen if hogan steps into the ring tonight he's ready to go there's no doubt in his mind
00:41:45the only doubts i have are about rick flair if you look at what rick flair has done to this company
00:41:51since he's had it if you look at the direction of this company has gone since flair has been in charge
00:41:56look at the same mistakes that flair is making yeah it's no secret bill watts he got a little
00:42:02bit of control here wcw what was the first thing he did he rammed his kid down everybody's throat
00:42:07till they gag that's the same thing that rick flair is doing he's cut out the same piece of water
00:42:12it was a horrible scene last night and dimalenco was involved in it with and you know david flair look
00:42:17look what dimalenco brings out here with him chris mclaw and perry chandard whoa whoa security right now

00:42:56wrong gutless powers we'll slap you around later on we'll slap you around later on pal go slap him
00:43:01around now flair don't worry about it you're gonna do it do it now now take him out
00:43:10he does have the power he's the president yeah he has the power for now but that's not going to last long
00:43:15it's not power it's manipulation wcw's a big company turner is a big company and time warner's
00:43:20a bigger company than that you're not going to put up with this kind of crap from rick flair a whole
00:43:24lot longer trust me so uh well he did what he said he chased him away with security and now the bell
00:43:32sounds for the match look at dean malenko you can identify we all a little bit of pent-up frustration
00:43:38there in uh dean malenko i tell you last night there is no question i mean rick flair's son the
00:43:44u.s champ what a travesty that is what a blemish on the u.s title that is the boys got no offense at
00:43:50all david flair and dean malenko certainly deserved much better now you want to talk about a blemish let's
00:43:56talk about the world heavyweight championship while dean malenko's kicking the hell out of rick flair let's
00:44:00talk about the wcw world heavyweight championship the macho man randy savage uh i don't think so
00:44:07kevin nash got ripped off kevin nash has not made it to the building yet as far as i've been told and
00:44:13i just came out here got to the building about 20 minutes ago look for kevin he's not here i can't
00:44:18wait to hear what kevin nash has got in mind i don't think he's going to sit back and just let this one
00:44:24it was a classic tag team match last night at faster the beach in the main event and it proved lethal
00:44:30for then world champion kevin nash dean malenko shoved little eggs charles robinson out of the way
00:44:35there's another travesty even have this man with the referee shirt on as flair goes upside down
00:44:41onto the turnbuckle pads dean malenko like a man possessed is gonna chase him all the way on the
00:44:47outside now come on dean don't give this man a break stay on him stay on him when flair starts
00:44:55backpedaling usually you're going to make a mistake and on anderson i was right a big mistake as malenko
00:45:04with as much emotion in his face that we've ever seen we've often caught in the ice man but you can
00:45:11tell nothing like the ice man right now when he gets decked as anderson was hiding waiting in the wings
00:45:18for the ice man to come around now flair chops him back onto the safety rail again and again malenko
00:45:27will have none of them dean malenko but flair to the eye stop that momentum dean malenko firing some
00:45:34great right hands here but he's got to get himself back into the ring dean malenko does his best work
00:45:38inside of the ring well aren't anderson isn't as long as he's going to sit out here and dance
00:45:42with flair and anderson outside of the ring he's vulnerable obviously yeah there's no question he
00:45:48does his best work in the ring and especially when there's two outside and now there are two inside
00:45:54two later inside and charles robinson just turns away looking the other way talking to
00:45:58charles robinson is a punk charles robinson is a punk and now flair calling for asia to get up on the
00:46:09apron malenko is out man and if you think about it he obviously needed ben ron center for things here's
00:46:16a cover one two and a two count as malenko kicks out of surprise robinson didn't even quick count that
00:46:25time that was a little quick but that's his own cadence he has no cadence here's a pickup
00:46:31up and a better to back by the nature boy the president with the cover again robinson over and
00:46:37if two only dean malenko kicks out he's been beaten by two men he's got a referee in the hip pocket of
00:46:45the president rick clare but he won't quit pounding the man as he tries to get back to his feet
00:46:50oh listen to that interesting that david isn't out here tonight i guess he only goes where his dad
00:47:00tells him to go come on dean now flair just right now having his way with dean malenko malenko oh the
00:47:10chest and what's he doing here yeah charles robinson looked the other way with the low blow and then
00:47:18the knocking down again with the fans standing here's a cover one two they want to see de malenko
00:47:25fire back many have been standing ever since hollywood hogan walked out here to accept randy savage's
00:47:33challenge to put the world title up against anyone in the building savage would have chasing two that he
00:47:40known hogan was there swears malenko tries to fire back de malenko with kicks de malenko right hand
00:47:47i'll say one of the things i like about dean malenko is he knows how to pace himself this match
00:47:50is going to come down to stamina dean malenko knows he's in better shape than rick flair dean
00:47:54malenko knows that if he could stay in the ring stay away from arne anderson stay away from asia
00:47:59and that let charles robinson do too much damage as a referee dean malenko has got a chance to win
00:48:04this match he's going to take that chance as long as he can stay in the ring i think he can fatigue flair
00:48:09i think he can beat flair despite the obvious disadvantages here well that's if he uses his head that's if he
00:48:14uses his mind but he's going to use his head he's not going to get emotional but he used to be a
00:48:18horseman he remembers how he was slighted he remembers how he was slapped in the face he remembers
00:48:21everything that stabbed him in the back i don't think his emotions can be contained inside i don't
00:48:26think he can use his head and think properly he's just going to go off eventually watch he knows what
00:48:30he's going to do he came here with a game plan he's going to stick to it he's not going to let flair
00:48:34in his stupid games allow flair to be able to dictate the pace of this match dean malenko will stay in
00:48:40control all he's going to do is stay inside of the ring and he'll have his way with flair well we
00:48:45both know we all know if he gets outside that ring there's asia out there and iron anderson we all
00:48:50know that a number of people would like to have their way with asia or iron anderson talking about
00:48:55the don't look at us a trip to the orient okay we understand the economy in japan okay good
00:49:02now as long as this match goes the longer go to right eric it would favor of dean malenko but flair
00:49:10is keeping the pressure on and there's so many things working against malenko here as there were
00:49:15last night at bash at the beach and malenko got the backslide on well one of the things that's working
00:49:22for dean is he's younger and he's stronger he doesn't have the experience but he definitely as i said
00:49:28don't want to get redundant he's got the stamina now he's got him the nature boy rick flair charles
00:49:33robinson second straight time backslide one inside cradle two charles robinson talking to arn anderson
00:49:40that's why as good as you can be in this type of scenario i don't see how he can overcome but
00:49:45let's see what malenko can do knock him out so we can overcome it and flair goes first he may have
00:49:52done it right there flair went down in the heat and once again charles robinson turns the other
00:49:57direction as malenko pushes pulls tries to get to his feet again flair up to medium and flair the first
00:50:05man to make a jump of malenko rebounds maybe a second win for d malenko here and he'll pick up
00:50:13nice move now pick up a chair crack charles robinson's skull open take it to rick flair and pin the
00:50:18good strategy up on top nice nicely done even robinson is going to count this one
00:50:30he only got a two but he danced around for three before he dropped on the mat he did three laps
00:50:35around the ring before he got into a position to make the count but he counted quick oh stop it
00:50:41flair begging off the iceman d malenko who has fought off all challenges here tonight from flair
00:50:50on and the reverend three four five six and arn anderson not fooling anybody there he goes
00:50:59not fooling anybody anderson spills on the outside flair goes down but malenko cannot follow up with
00:51:07anything d malenko you can see what he's had to endure in this match here he senses right where
00:51:12rick flair is he knows rick flair like a book flair's got the sleeper hold on
00:51:19they run into charles robinson and flair goes down robinson's down there's the referee
00:51:25robinson's still hurting from that elbow drop from the macho man randy savage not too long ago
00:51:31didn't take much to put robinson down it collapsed along it broke figure four city didn't do quite
00:51:37enough damage in my book and the figure four is on is johnny moon come on dean hang in there but i
00:51:44gotta tell you i've been in that thing more than once and it hurts it hurts bad it hurts your knees it
00:51:50hurts your shin your ankle you feel like it's going to snap can he turn him though can he turn
00:51:56him he's on an even playing field now and johnny moon is going to turn over he's going to turn over
00:52:01johnny moon checking with rick flair grab the ropes grab the ropes get close to the ropes asia's come in
00:52:07and she kicks boone in the ribs oh she picked him flesh in the ribs and charles robinson
00:52:13charles robinson's calling for the bell charles robinson's calling for the bell did flair give up
00:52:20dean malenko's gonna win this thing
00:52:24knock him out knock him out
00:52:31i can't believe what we're witnessing here
00:52:35it was all over he had flair in the hole and charles robinson raises flair's hands
00:52:44and now two men in the fall of dimarico
00:52:52oh yeah the stinger is here you want to dance time to pay the band
00:53:02and stinger is a one-man wcw band and all the cockroaches go underneath the gojam mill

00:57:44newly crowned champion randy macho man savage against the one the only hollywood hogan it's all tonight on tnd
00:57:53wow last night in bags of the beach one of the most bizarre matches and intense matches we ever had
00:58:01it wasn't a junkyard 15 miles away from the arena 15 of the toughest went at it in the first ever
00:58:08invitational junkyard hardcore match fit finley was involved in that day they peeled off bumpers
00:58:14they used various pieces of cars to batter each other unversely fit finley also used a trash can
00:58:21to help in his ways and a shocking appearance out of nowhere from public enemy they were both
00:58:27involved dave taylor was there as well he gave it his all but i tell you brian knob this was
00:58:33imitational from hack but when a ball of fire exploded into a car that gave dave fit finley
00:58:42and last night he was named the invitational junkyard hardcore champion now gentlemen last night was so
00:58:49wild bizarre wild bizarre wild bizarre that we had hack who made the invitation he had to go to the
00:58:58hospital because he had a busted shoulder silver king a luchador suffered a cut on his shoulder he had to have
00:59:0760 stitches last night mikey whiprick was hit in the head with a bumper and he had a mile
00:59:13compression last night bobby did you ever think you could put a recap on a wrestling match you're talking
00:59:19about a guy that got hit with a bumper or a hubcap or a transmission or a tail pipe or something no but
00:59:27what a great fight that was i enjoyed that i enjoyed and they gave it all everybody was out there fighting
00:59:31for what they wanted to do themselves we understand later on tonight the official presentation of fit
00:59:37finley of that hardcore junkyard trophy as the sensational billy kidman comes out we want to let
00:59:47you know if you want to see for yourself that junkyard match an incredible scene it was the encore
00:59:54presentation of bash of the beach available tomorrow and thursday so make sure you make the appropriate
01:00:00phone call to your cable or satellite provider to see it if you want to see it again i want to see
01:00:05for the first time the encore presentation tomorrow and thursday it was quite a night and as you said
01:00:12eric bischoff capped off with a horrible faith that the failed the world champion kevin nash savage has
01:00:19the belt and will defend it tonight are you ready again hollywood hogan tonight on this program
01:00:26so billy kidman's got his work cut out for him here kidman is you know he's an interesting guy
01:00:33now put aside the fact that he gets all the hot women i've never seen a guy come to the arena
01:00:39week in week out all over the country with more good looking men than any wrestler i've ever seen put
01:00:45that aside this guy is probably one of the more underrated athletes in wcw right now he's aggressive he's a
01:00:53great technician he's fast on his feet but he's got his work cut out for him in there with regal regal's
01:00:57a veteran he's been around the block a lot and of course he's got taylor and philly outside of the ring
01:01:04to think about what a hit says a takeover wise by kidman in a textbook dropkick kidman takes regal over
01:01:13in a two count from referee randy anderson yes the numbers are against given here a roll up by regal
01:01:20well there is no question that kidman has been an underdog before no one ever thought he could be
01:01:25a cruiserweight champion he proved everybody wrong and you know i've seen anything you've seen eric
01:01:30bishop he's kind of makes you want to cry doesn't it yeah you wonder how he can perform night in and
01:01:35night out with all those women around him but legs don't look weak to me but there it is
01:01:40well he just walked right up in that time with a drop kick regal went towards his corner and kidman
01:01:45smartly with a hit lock takeover taking him back to the center of the ring what i like about kidman
01:01:50is he'll take a chance he'll take a couple of chances he just won't back off and wait for you
01:01:54to make a mistake he'll go out there and take a chance he'll make things happen anybody hear about
01:01:59kevin nash yet not me on the track haven't received word yet but as eric bischoff told us fans we expect
01:02:07the former world champ given that to arrive here at any moment get a night that we'll see new world
01:02:12chance savage defend against hollywood hollywood hogan it's always a big deal whenever he comes
01:02:18on this television joe at least to talk to us but to see the man wrestle the first time back
01:02:23since what happened to him in april and a title match and against randy macho man savage it's
01:02:27going to be a one great fight tony well i'll tell you what the advantage that uh hogan has he's fresh
01:02:33you know savage wrestled last night do you see him go do you see him go all the way over the top
01:02:44they're not done yet jabbing the flag stick of the union jack in the midsection and now picking
01:02:5110 minutes my goodness the jaw hit flex on the steel barricade did he ever go out of that ring
01:02:58incredible turnable bench here it's a wonder kidman can even roll over on his side
01:03:08it's a wonder he can breathe he's gonna be all busted up inside
01:03:14and regal just picking up the pieces here now
01:03:16the double underhook into a butterfly surplex over the top regal now with a cover but
01:03:27only got a two count kidman fighting from underneath like we talked about the fans are behind him
01:03:33but he's all tied up by steven regal we've got to take a commercial break fans the tape
01:03:38machines are rolling if the match will end if not we'll come back live after this
01:03:43it's been more of the same for billy kidman on the inside on the outside look at this submission hold
01:03:53by steven regal it's amazing that kidman is still staying in this and randy anderson peewee
01:03:59writing space making sure he wants to stay with it and kidman shakes him off shrugs him off there
01:04:05he is staying with it we're back live on monday nitro in jacksonville
01:04:09steven regal who made his return to wcw a few weeks back looking in great shape here
01:04:16he is look at this knee lifts to the face holding the hair and then the european uppercut
01:04:21of kidman and now strutting around the ring back live tony savani bobby the brain
01:04:27hated eric bischoff with us as we will still see tonight one of the biggest world title matches
01:04:33we've ever had on this program new champ randy macho man savage against hollywood hokey that is
01:04:40coming up live tonight and then you've got sting wrestling david flair for a shot to get to rick
01:04:47flair for control of wcw i like that one now we know everybody knows around the world that david flair
01:04:55can be sting the fact is what plan does flair have for that match later on tonight it will unfold before
01:05:04you here tonight live from jacksonville the cross face by rigo look how he grinds the bone of that
01:05:10wrist in the forearm into the jaw of kidman and pulls back on the head kidman still fighting it off
01:05:17i don't know how much longer he can fight he's in some real trouble when he got thrown out that ring
01:05:21with the velocity the way he hit that floor and the chairs out there he hasn't been the same since
01:05:25billy kidman is hurt and regal's taking advantage of it which you have to do fit finley looks on
01:05:33fit finley and dave taylor have been instrumental tonight in the suffering to billy kidman here
01:05:39on the outside using the flag the stick the safety rail and right now regal the headbutt
01:05:46in the solid plexus has his way with kidman kidman
01:05:53heck of an effort even to get off his feet but regal cutting the catapult all the way to the corner
01:06:00and he's in a bad neighborhood right now because dave taylor's out there and so is finley
01:06:04he hoists the man up again and tip it back fire amazingly held onto the back of the head nicely done
01:06:16wow he's talking about hang time in midair with all the punishment he's taking to pull off a move like
01:06:23that amazing he stands he sweeps regal around he'll try to put him down but regal well he got him down
01:06:31sunset flipped him that time regal tumbles through and tumbles the other way kidman has got the
01:06:36shoulders pressed but only for a one inside cradle again kidman kidman is all over kidman is just so
01:06:44fast and so agile goes him up again amazingly you can tell when kidman has his second win he is all
01:06:52over regal i'll tell you what you know when regal's in trouble because both finley and taylor are getting
01:06:57real active outside of the ring they're trying to make sure that they're in great position here
01:07:01to bail him out of whatever trouble he's in they know he's hurting they know he's in trouble
01:07:07they see the feet in regal's eyes three drop kicks on the button on the face of regal
01:07:15regal rebounds shooting kidman into the neutral turnbuckle pass kidman just kicks him away to buy
01:07:21some time to run in and he went over the top and hit referee randy anderson anderson's down and
01:07:28gets rolled out this is bogus he gets rolled out by taylor he's on the floor and now three men
01:07:33no no no no no no no no no he's coming in with the chair eric where are you eric bischoff
01:07:40up to now eric bischoff is walked towards the ring regal gets hit oh my by the chair
01:07:50and look at this look at this kidman's going upstairs
01:07:54he's going to the top tony bischoff has seen enough he's standing up
01:07:58kidman's up top shooting star press and he hit was he tripped up that time
01:08:10bischoff into check and regal kidman again hurt himself that time
01:08:19inside cradle one two three
01:08:22kidman and bischoff did the right thing that's exactly what he told everybody what he was going
01:08:32to do do the right thing
01:08:37and bischoff went into mcdonald kidman's going to win this match
01:08:42kidman is lucky he's lucky he's not going to spend the night in the hospital
01:08:46you're not kidding he went up for the shooting star press bischoff still with a lot of authority
01:08:53here at wcw he did the right thing
01:09:01eric bischoff we talked about you do the hold on hold on a second
01:09:06get
01:09:15u.s
01:09:18u.s
01:09:20u.s
01:09:27u.s
01:09:29Eric Bischoff, please sit down here.
01:09:42Obviously doing the right thing, but
01:09:46three men in your face that time, that was a very dangerous place.
01:09:50Scared the hell out of me.
01:09:51Boy, Kidman, even after that move went awry on the top,
01:09:56still had enough perseverance for the inside cradle.
01:09:59I'll tell you what, I'm not sure if Kidman wasn't setting him up.
01:10:04And I didn't, to be honest with you, I didn't see the move off the rope.
01:10:07I'm not sure how badly he was hurt.
01:10:09He looked like he was hurt pretty bad.
01:10:11But when I checked him, I looked in his eyes, I said, you're right.
01:10:13He said, I'm here, I'm here. Let me have him. He took it.
01:10:16I think we're gonna see a part of that one more time.
01:10:18And I thought at first that maybe that Dave Taylor or Fitzsilly had tripped him up.
01:10:24But let's take a look one more time.
01:10:25Up top, Shooting Star Press, and his legs, his knees hit the rope that time.
01:10:30He was too close to the corner, he didn't get out enough.
01:10:32He didn't get enough elevation, you're right.
01:10:34And there, once again, you see Eric Bishop.
01:10:37Yeah, no, he wasn't setting anything up.
01:10:38He was hurting, but he still had the presence of mind.
01:10:40He knew where he was.
01:10:42And there's the presence of mind that we talked about, the inside cradle.
01:10:46And you make the count, one, two, three, and then, boy, did they unload on you.
01:10:51I saw my life past before my eyes.
01:10:54Those guys, I saw what that mad man did in that junkyard mess last night.
01:10:59You know, I had a red bike when I was a kid.
01:11:01I had a cat named Smokey.
01:11:03I saw it all go by.
01:11:04I saw it all go by.
01:11:09Coming up, as we talked about, the new hardcore champion,
01:11:15Spit Finley will get his trophy.
01:11:17Plus, Togan and Savage for the world title, live tonight.
