00:00:00The new hardcore champion, Fit Finley, will get his trophy, plus Togan and Savage for the world title, live tonight.
00:00:11Mike, today has your WCW Weekend Review tonight, only on the WCW Hotline, 1-900-909-9900.
00:00:19Call now to hear the latest results through events over the past week, as well as a preview of things to come.
00:00:25To go to the ring, here they are, the Nitro Girls.
00:00:30The Nitro Girls.
00:01:00Yeah, but can they wrestle?
00:01:06Who cares?
00:01:08Just look at them.
00:01:09Any more information about the upcoming search for?
00:01:13You know, I was just thinking about that.
00:01:15I wanted to throw my name, and they have to be a judge.
00:01:16I guess we're going to go all over the world, looking for Nitro Girls, the worldwide Nitro Girls search.
00:01:24It just sounds like a lot of fun.
00:01:28Here in Florida, many beautiful women, and we have seen many, many, that certainly would be in that.
00:01:35Here comes Chaos, one of the tough, strong, young athletes coming out of the WCW Power Plant, who's had a run of success here in our sport.
00:01:49A couple of reminders before his opponent gets to the ring next Monday, we're in Rockford, Illinois, at the Metro Center for Monday Nitro.
00:01:56Tickets available at the box office and Metro Ticket Center Outlets.
00:02:00Sid Vicious.
00:02:10Sid Vicious.
00:02:14Look at the eyes on that man.
00:02:17An intense, overwhelming athlete.
00:02:31Things are beating up.
00:02:34Tony, should we bring you back?
00:02:36Are you conscious?
00:02:37Yeah.
00:02:38Hi.
00:02:44You got to hand Chaos a lot of credit.
00:02:46He sees a lot of opportunity here, but he is also looking the end of his career right in the eyes.
00:02:52Because Sid can put you out in a heartbeat.
00:02:55What a big man.
00:02:56That's exactly what he's trying to do.
00:02:58Look at the awesome upper body, the trapezius, the chest, the arms on this man.
00:03:05He is a frightful sight for any opponent.
00:03:09Well, there's no question.
00:03:10He's got to be the strongest athlete in WCW.
00:03:14Certainly one of the most aggressive, and right now he's got Chaos exactly where he wants him.
00:03:21He's toying with him.
00:03:22He just pulled Chaos up that time to kick him back down.
00:03:27And don't think for a second that Sid Vicious isn't thinking about last night.
00:03:33Sid Vicious isn't thinking about the fact that he could have been the world heavyweight champion.
00:03:36Put yourself in Kevin Nash's spot.
00:03:38As far as Nash was concerned, and I'm not so sure he was right, but as far as he was concerned, he was in the ring with three men, any one of which could have taken the title off of him.
00:04:02In his own mind, Sting could have done it.
00:04:06Certainly Randy Savage proved he could do it, and Sid was capable of doing it.
00:04:11If Kevin Nash made one mistake, it was that he didn't trust Sting soon enough.
00:04:16He spent too much time worrying about Sting and not enough time thinking about the Macho Man Randy Savage and Sid Vicious.
00:04:23And look at this nut.
00:04:24What power.
00:04:26What raw power.
00:04:27Chaos is no lightweight.
00:04:29He charged him right off those ropes, and Vicious just caught him in midair, held him, and planted him where he wanted to.
00:04:36Vicious now hovering over Chaos.
00:04:40Dominating is the word here.
00:04:42Complete domination.
00:04:43He's playing with him.
00:04:45The Cobra Clutch.
00:04:47He's just playing with him.
00:04:49That move itself can put a man out.
00:04:52He reminds me of one of those poisonous insects that just paralyzes its prey and then devours it.
00:05:01That's exactly what he's doing here.
00:05:05And Chaos right now all but paralyzed.
00:05:08It's a part of his psychotic ways to put a man out with that Cobra Clutch and the slamming down on the back of his head.
00:05:15He is a predator.
00:05:16He's stalking his man right now.
00:05:24And now, pulls back on a rear chin lock.
00:05:27What is this all about?
00:05:29This match could well be over.
00:05:32There's been almost no, no offense out of Chaos.
00:05:35There's been no offense.
00:05:36I don't want to take anything away from Chaos, but this match could have been over a long time ago.
00:05:39This is not about the competition here.
00:05:43This is about Sid Vicious having a little bit of fun, working off some steam, working off some frustration
00:05:48over the fact that he did not become the World Heavyweight Champion last year.
00:05:53Interesting story there when you think about his alliance with the Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:05:58Amazingly enough, Chaos with his first offensive line, and it stops short with a choke.
00:06:06Look at his eyes.
00:06:07Look at his eyes.
00:06:07Yeah, I was just going to say that.
00:06:08This man is not here right now.
00:06:10He's a sick puppy.
00:06:12He is one sick puppy.
00:06:14Bring out the straight jacket and the shot treatment.
00:06:16That's what this guy needs.
00:06:18And I like it.
00:06:19Cobra Clutch, Cobra Clutch Slam, Choke Slam, and he's not done.
00:06:26Not yet.
00:06:31He's going to wipe him out with a power bomb.
00:06:34Look at this.
00:06:36Way up in the air.
00:06:38Amazing.
00:06:42There's a sick man.
00:06:44Certifiable.
00:06:45Certifiable.
00:06:49What do we got now?
00:06:51Vicious calling for the mic.
00:06:55Does he want to do a read to him?
00:06:58Sing him a song, maybe?
00:06:59Can you hear me?
00:07:07Did you feel the power?
00:07:14Wow.
00:07:15You have to understand, Stinger, I have condition, I feel no regret.
00:07:29He's calling Stinger.
00:07:30I have no remorse for the things I do.
00:07:33The stars in the sky tell me my destiny.
00:07:44And the stars tell me, to reach my destiny, I must take you, Sting.
00:07:53The stars.
00:07:54You must be my next victim.
00:07:56Yes, you will.
00:08:00So Stinger, and everyone who's listening,
00:08:06I'm going to give you something to think about, and it goes like this.
00:08:15Therefore, he does not know when the master is in his house.
00:08:21He can only wish that he comes suddenly and takes you while he's asleep.
00:08:27Remember these things, my friend, because I am Sting Vicious, and the master, and the ruler of the world.
00:08:46He has a psychotic, dangerous nut.
00:08:54Here's our Castro replay.
00:08:55Get a load of this.
00:08:57Cobra clutch just jams him right to the mat.
00:09:01Chaos had no offense.
00:09:03Right from the beginning, this big, big, huge man here, this sick man.
00:09:07Sid Vicious was in control.
00:09:09Picks him up with that big, giant, giant choke slam.
00:09:13Just watch this man.
00:09:15Watch him operate.
00:09:16Walks around the ring with this man until he finds out the right position,
00:09:20just exactly where he wants to plant him and plants him.
00:09:23You see him bounce off the mat like a basketball.
00:09:27For the one, two, and three.
00:09:29It was over a long time ago.
00:09:30Your winner, Sid Vicious.
00:09:35Brought to you by Castro, the motor oil that provides maximum protection.
00:09:39Castro GTX, drive hard.
00:09:42Drive him down into mat hard.
00:09:44And the one and only, Sid Vicious.
00:09:49Well, tonight, as the world now knows, and the world awaits,
00:09:53the return of Hollywood Hogan going after the Macho Man
00:09:57and the WCW World Heavyweight title.
00:10:00That is still to come tonight.
00:10:02Sting and David Flair.
00:10:04If that's a deal with you, that's a deal with me.
00:10:06I will go through your son, David Flair, tonight
00:10:09to get to you for control of WCW.
00:10:13And right now, David Flair's backstage winning all over himself.
00:10:16No doubt, you have got to beat my kid to get to me.
00:10:23And pal, remember, I'm the boss all night long.
00:10:28You got a deal.
00:10:29You got a deal.
00:10:30David Flair.
00:10:31Welcome back to Monday Nitro, and Hey Memphis will be there in two weeks on July 26th.
00:10:38Tickets to the Mid-South Coliseum and all ticket national locations as we go to the Nitro Girls.
00:10:42This is new.
00:10:46This is new.
00:10:58It's different.
00:11:04It's artistic.
00:11:06It's creative.
00:11:22Can we see it again?
00:11:23It's just damn hot.
00:11:25That's what it is.
00:11:26I want to see it.
00:11:27Let's see a replay of that.
00:11:28I want to see that again.
00:11:29Slow motion replay on the Nitro Girls, please.
00:11:31Let me call the truck.
00:11:33All right.
00:11:35Sting has a chance to win the U.S. heavyweight title come up.
00:11:38Here's a part of that confrontation we saw earlier tonight.
00:11:41Hey, I'm talking to you.
00:11:43I'm going to make you like what I tell you tonight.
00:11:46So tonight, I wrestle you for control of WCW.
00:11:50You know, I knew this was going to be a great night.
00:11:57A grand night.
00:11:59A great night.
00:12:02How about that challenge?
00:12:05How about tagging up?
00:12:07You're right.
00:12:08You're right.
00:12:08You're all hollering, cheering for nothing.
00:12:11Because you can't make that match.
00:12:13I'm the boss.
00:12:15Tell you what I will do, though.
00:12:16Big boss.
00:12:17I'll let, it's about time, another flair tore you up.
00:12:23So I'll let David come down here tonight and wrestle you.
00:12:27How about that?
00:12:29You beat David, and you can beat.
00:12:32David?
00:12:34I like this.
00:12:35If you can beat David, then you can wrestle me.
00:12:39I like it.
00:12:41We can do this.
00:12:43No, he'll go for that.
00:12:44Come on, Stinger.
00:12:45Take it.
00:12:46I am not above hurting David Flair to get to you.
00:12:53Oh, is that a serious look or what?
00:12:57If that's a deal with you, that's a deal with me.
00:13:00I will go through your son, David Flair, tonight to get to you for control of WCW.
00:13:06And right now, David Flair's backstage, winning all over himself.
00:13:10No doubt, you have got to beat my kid to get to me.
00:13:16And pal, remember, I'm the boss all night long.
00:13:22You gotta do it.
00:13:23You gotta do it.
00:13:23You-
00:13:23We're back for the US title bout.
00:13:28Quick reminder, Monday, August 2nd, Sioux Falls, South Dakota Arena.
00:13:32It's Monday Nitro.
00:13:34And on Monday, August 9th, in Boise, Idaho, in the Idaho Center, it's Monday Nitro, Tickets
00:13:38in Idaho, and all usual ticket locations for Boise and Sioux Falls as we get ready to plunge
00:13:43deep further into the summertime of 1999.
00:13:47Here we go.
00:13:49Not only the US title on the line tonight, but if Sting defeats David Flair, which we know he can,
00:13:58he'll face Ric Flair for control of WCW.
00:14:04Flair brings everybody out, and Bobby Heade and Eric Bischoff has little nakes as the referee,
00:14:13but should we be surprised?
00:14:15Now, I don't think we should be surprised, but I don't think it's going to make a whole
00:14:20lot of difference.
00:14:23Sting is not going to be intimidated by Ric Flair, he's not going to be intimidated by
00:14:29Arne Anderson, he is certainly not going to be distracted by Tory or Asia.
00:14:38I'm relatively certain Sting is going to make Ric Flair an example out of David Flair, and
00:14:45I've got to tell you, the thought of Sting wrestling Ric Flair with control of WCW puts a
00:14:53smile on my face and a song in my heart, because I'm getting real sick of this crap.
00:14:58Look at how he's outnumbered, literally six people up against him.
00:15:06Aiden, you got one last chance, before you get hurt, you can walk down there and
00:15:12nobody will say you were the man.
00:15:14You can leave now, before you get hurt, boy.
00:15:22I don't think he's going anywhere.
00:15:25I think he's laughing.
00:15:28He has to realize, though, he's outnumbered here, and Flair being the president, and with
00:15:33Arne Anderson out here and those two lovely ladies, anything, and I mean anything can happen.
00:15:38Well, I'm not a lip reader, but he did say, after Flair dropped the mic, do you want to
00:15:43save your son now?
00:15:45Oh, come on.
00:15:47It's pretty silly, isn't it?
00:15:48This is darn silly.
00:15:49Oh, it's stinger splash time.
00:15:50Right there.
00:15:51Oh, and the money.
00:15:53It's going to be a two-move match.
00:15:55Hey, Ric, you're going to look great, watering plants.
00:15:56Less than a minute.
00:15:57This is less than a minute, I bet.
00:15:58You better call it, Little Nights.
00:15:59This one's over.
00:16:00He's tapping, but the referee doesn't see it.
00:16:01No, he doesn't see it.
00:16:02You're going to let him do that to your kid, Flair?
00:16:03No, he doesn't see it.
00:16:04You're going to let him do that to your kid, Flair?
00:16:05No, he doesn't see it.
00:16:06You're going to let him do that to your kid, Flair?
00:16:08No, he doesn't see it.
00:16:17You're going to let Robinson do that?
00:16:19I guess not.
00:16:21Down goes with an H.
00:16:24Anderson and Flair go down.
00:16:26Back up again to go down again.
00:16:28Sing is on fire.
00:16:30Flair got him from behind.
00:16:35And that just made him madder.
00:16:40I tell you what, everybody in this arena on their feet,
00:16:44they want to see Flair get his tail kicked.
00:16:47And they're getting ready to see it.
00:16:49My!
00:16:51Anderson tries to get back.
00:16:58Sting is in command.
00:17:01Another Stinger splash.
00:17:05Here comes Asia.
00:17:09He doesn't care.
00:17:10He'll pull the trigger on this tank.
00:17:13Flair puts the girl in front of him.
00:17:16It makes no matter to Sting.
00:17:18He nailed them both.
00:17:21And now!
00:17:25What's left for Sting?
00:17:30But David Flair.
00:17:33Well, Sting has really clean house on everyone.
00:17:39Come on, Flair.
00:17:44Come on, Flair.
00:17:45You said you were gonna do it.
00:17:47Next, the crowning of a new hardcore.
00:17:53Flair just took off and ran.
00:17:55He can't back out of this.
00:17:57That's all next on Nitro.
00:17:59And here's big news.
00:18:03Now, Little Caesars, collect one of four WCW motion cards free.
00:18:08When you get the WCW Pizza Pizza meal for only $9.99.
00:18:14Still more to come on Nitro.
00:18:16Pizza, pizza.
00:18:23I challenge anybody.
00:18:28Anybody?
00:18:29Let me say this again.
00:18:34I challenge anybody but Kevin Nash, Big Sexy.
00:18:49Because he does not deserve a chance at the title.
00:18:55Because he is a zero in life.
00:18:59And I got his number.
00:19:01And his number is zero.
00:19:03So that's the deal, Mean Gene Oakland.
00:19:07Meet the Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:19:09And I happen to be the World Heavyweight Champion.
00:19:13I think.
00:19:15All right, ladies and gentlemen.
00:19:16Last night, down in the Greater Miami area.
00:19:19A site selection happened to be a junkyard.
00:19:24And in that junkyard, some of the toughest, roughest men in all of professional wrestling competed in what was called a junkyard match.
00:19:33It was absolutely brutal from start to finish.
00:19:36As a matter of fact, three or four of those men were sent to the hospital immediately following that particular match.
00:19:44And out of that, one man was crowned the WCW Hardcore Champion.
00:19:51One man I never expected to get into this kind of competition, but he did and he won.
00:19:57Please welcome the new Hardcore Champion of World Championship Wrestling.
00:20:04Ladies and gentlemen, Fitz Finley.
00:20:08Take a look at that trophy for the new.
00:20:14What is it?
00:20:16It's a, it looks like a welder's delight.
00:20:19Yeah, it looks like a transfer case out of a 63 Chevy Impala.
00:20:23Looks like there's lug nuts, bumpers, tailpipes.
00:20:26Buzzsaw blade on it.
00:20:27Circular jaw.
00:20:28Also a universal joint or two.
00:20:33Here he is.
00:20:35And you were right in the face of Fit Finley moments ago, Eric Bischoff.
00:20:38Yeah, like I said, I saw my life pass before my eyes.
00:20:41Fit Finley, our congratulations.
00:20:44As a matter of fact, people can see how you came out of that match last night.
00:20:49It was one of the most brutal things I have ever eyewitnessed.
00:20:53Listen to me, Mean Gene.
00:20:55I stand here representing Northern Ireland.
00:21:02Wait a minute.
00:21:04That was one of the toughest matches I have had in my whole career.
00:21:10And it happened in America.
00:21:12It was a hot night in Fort Lauderdale or wherever it was.
00:21:17It was a junkyard.
00:21:19There was one man standing.
00:21:21Regal, Taylor and I had a plan.
00:21:24It worked.
00:21:26We sent him to the hospital.
00:21:28We sent them crying.
00:21:30We sent them away.
00:21:32I...
00:21:33Shut up rednecks and listen, I'm speaking.
00:21:39You're not going to endear yourself to these fans with that kind of talk.
00:21:42I do not kill it.
00:21:44I don't care about these people.
00:21:46Listen to me.
00:21:47Every single one of them that came in there find out what it's like to be a tough man.
00:21:55You Americans do not know what it's like.
00:21:59With your air conditioning, your Hayden, your Waffle House, you know nothing about respect, toughness.
00:22:09Wait a minute.
00:22:10Wait a minute.
00:22:11You've gone way too far here, my friend.
00:22:13I'll say, I've never eaten a Waffle House.
00:22:14When you start to insult the people of this country, I'm gonna take the exception to it.
00:22:18I have an exception to it.
00:22:19I don't care.
00:22:20I am not insulted.
00:22:21I have the heart of a lion.
00:22:23I am tougher than titanium.
00:22:26I am meaner than the lowest rattlesnake.
00:22:30And there is nobody can stand with him.
00:22:35Speaking of nobody can stand, he's got company.
00:22:37And he doesn't realize it.
00:22:39But he does now.
00:22:40Members of the First Family.
00:22:41Nobbs, Hugh Marsh, and Jerry Flynn.
00:22:46I'd say they're sort of losers in more ways than one.
00:22:51And that's not all.
00:22:53Other men who were involved last night, including many of the Luchadores around.
00:22:59You're not gonna stop this fight for a while.
00:23:01This is great.
00:23:02Silver King has come out, and he had 60 stitches put in his shoulder last night.
00:23:08And look at this.
00:23:11They are tearing it up in here.
00:23:14This is virtually almost everybody.
00:23:17Look at Jimmy Hart.
00:23:18Look at Jimmy Hart.
00:23:19He was involved in it.
00:23:20Jimmy Hart, take it off with the, whatever the hell that is.
00:23:23Universal Joint.
00:23:24Yes.
00:23:25The Universal Joint Trophy.
00:23:26He's run away with it.
00:23:28He's got it.
00:23:30And he's calling Jerry Flynn out with him.
00:23:33That Philly split open, but he's going out after the trophy.
00:23:39He gets hamburgered by Brian Knobs.
00:23:42Here you see public enemy.
00:23:45And Knobs and Philly trying to get to it.
00:23:48And the members of the First Family are keeping him at bay.
00:23:53All right, you gotta get security out here.
00:23:55Somebody's gonna have to get, this is not a match.
00:23:57This is a non-scheduled confrontation.
00:24:01I don't know what else they're calling.
00:24:02It's a rumble.
00:24:03I tell you what, I'm gonna go back.
00:24:04I wanna find out about Sting and Flair.
00:24:06I'll be right back.
00:24:07All right.
00:24:08Well, you know something, Mean Gene?
00:24:11Am I hearing things, or did the Macho Man say anybody?
00:24:18All right.
00:24:19The world champion has made a mistake.
00:24:30You were in the category of Kevin Nash Big Sexy.
00:24:35Both of you belong together.
00:24:38Both of you need to get the hell out of Dodge,
00:24:41because I own Dodge.
00:24:43So it's not you, not today, not any day.
00:24:47Well, you know, I saw what went down last night, Macho Man.
00:24:54And Big Sexy should have been the champion right now.
00:25:04But you know something, Mach?
00:25:06Don't ask, because you might receive.
00:25:09It's already been done, brother.
00:25:11I'm going for your title tonight, dude.
00:25:14Wow.
00:25:16Well, he's got anybody.
00:25:18He can't go.
00:25:21WCW Monday Nitro on TNT.
00:25:24Brought to you by the new Chrissy M&Ms.
00:25:27The Feeding Frenzy has begun.
00:25:30All right.
00:25:34Fastening sellout, as always, on hand for Monday Nitro.
00:25:37As it was last night for Bash at the Beach.
00:25:40If you're ready, we're going to tell you and show you some of what went down last night
00:25:44in the bout for the World Tag Team title.
00:25:47Herr Heenan.
00:25:48I'm ready.
00:25:49Help out here, because it was the Jersey Triad.
00:25:51They are tough.
00:25:52They are certainly tough.
00:25:54That's Kevin Nash.
00:25:55We saw those earlier.
00:25:56I know we're going to get the right ones up any time now.
00:25:59Well, let's show them to you again.
00:26:01Remember what happened with Kevin Nash?
00:26:02We still haven't seen him yet.
00:26:04The Macho Man was surprised, and we're back to the arena.
00:26:07Can we think on our feet up here or what?
00:26:09I'm sitting down.
00:26:11Don't blame me for that.
00:26:13Okay.
00:26:14Guess what?
00:26:15We've got a treat for you.
00:26:16Here they come.
00:26:17There they are.
00:26:18The Jersey Triad.
00:26:21Diamond Dallas Page, of course, with his two men with him.
00:26:24Bam Bam, Canyon, Saturn, and Chris Benoit.
00:26:28This was every bit as physical as we thought it would be, and I tell you,
00:26:31Saturn and Benoit pulled out all stops, but the brain, regardless how great the match was,
00:26:37how many great moves they had to put on or had to endure,
00:26:40there's the innovator of Offense Canyon.
00:26:42It comes down to it's very tough for two men to beat three men.
00:26:46When three men can rotate the match.
00:26:48Especially when Bam Bam Bigelow is as big as three men.
00:26:51So they had a heck of a fight on their hands.
00:26:53They went at it.
00:26:54Tooth and nail.
00:26:55But they switched off so much.
00:26:56In and out.
00:26:57Canyon.
00:26:58DDP.
00:26:59Big Man.
00:27:00Bam Bam.
00:27:01It was just too much of a fight for Benoit.
00:27:05And Benoit.
00:27:06They stayed with him.
00:27:07They stayed with him.
00:27:08Tooth and nail.
00:27:09They're toe to toe.
00:27:10They didn't back up one bit.
00:27:11It was a tremendous fight.
00:27:12But in the end, the three men prevailed.
00:27:14They are still the world tag team champions.
00:27:16Three always beats two.
00:27:17Yep.
00:27:18DDP, Bam Bam Bigelow and Canyon.
00:27:20They were waiting for Nyman Dallas Spades to come out.
00:27:23Don't forget that Monday Nitro is our program.
00:27:26And on Monday, August 30th, this event Nitro is coming live to Uniondale New York.
00:27:32And the Nassau Coliseum.
00:27:34Tickets go on sale this Thursday, July 15th for that event.
00:27:38And all Ticketmaster athletes in the box office.
00:27:41And this Thursday at the box office, meet the Macho Man Randy Savage and Gorgeous George from noon till 2.
00:27:54Oh, you've got to see Gorgeous George up close.
00:27:57And be careful of the Macho Man when you see him.
00:27:59Who knows what state of mind he'll be in after tonight.
00:28:02Hit it.
00:28:04Who's better than Canyon?
00:28:06Wait a minute.
00:28:07Turn his microphone up.
00:28:09Listen on.
00:28:11Yeah, talk, talk.
00:28:13Who's better than Canyon?
00:28:15Some of you people just don't get it.
00:28:24Some of you people are so stupid.
00:28:28You disappoint me.
00:28:32And one time, you love me.
00:28:35Other times, you hate me.
00:28:39One thing's for sure, you'll never forget me.
00:28:44Why?
00:28:45Because DDP delivers the goods and is the greatest two-time, two-time, two-time heavyweight former champion of the world.
00:29:00And the triad, the two-time tag team champions are the greatest trifecta ever.
00:29:11Ain't that right, Canyon?
00:29:13What a bang!
00:29:15What a bang!
00:29:16What a bang!
00:29:17What a bang!
00:29:18What a bang!
00:29:19Hey, yo, Booker T, don't be bringing your B game out tonight.
00:29:23Brother, bring your A game.
00:29:26As Booker T comes out, sorry to interrupt the triad here, but we want to remind you and Eric Bischoff told us that Gene Simmons and KISS will be performing when Monday Nitro comes in Las Vegas Monday, August 23rd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
00:29:45Tickets go on sale this Saturday, July 17th at the Box Office from Ticketmaster.
00:29:49And Sting this Saturday will be the Box Office 10 a.m. when tickets go on sale.
00:29:55Tickets go on sale.
00:29:56What's your favorite rock group, Tony?
00:29:57Of all time.
00:29:58Fabulous great, Eden.
00:29:59Also, Booker, July 22nd will be in Moline at the mark of the clock.
00:30:05Moline in Las Vegas.
00:30:06Tickets still available at the Box Office from Ticketmaster.
00:30:08How about this?
00:30:09This Friday, tickets go on sale for the following events.
00:30:12Friday, August 20th at the Cow Palace in San Francisco.
00:30:15Lex Luger and Miss Elizabeth will be in Warehouse Music at the Metro Center in Como when tickets go on sale.
00:30:21Tickets go on sale this Friday for the Saturday, August 21st event in Reno, Nevada, the Lawler Event Center.
00:30:28And tickets go on sale this Friday for the Sunday, August 22nd event at the Great Western Forum in Los Angeles.
00:30:34We understand the man who's made his dramatic appearance, Goldberg, who would make an appearance at Warehouse Music Lakewood Boulevard, 1230 to 2.30 p.m. when tickets go on sale this Friday for the August 22nd event at the Great Western Forum.
00:30:50How about that?
00:30:51Great.
00:30:52A lot of things going on.
00:30:53An awful lot going on.
00:30:55Well, he's still a member of the World Tag Team Champs.
00:30:59And he told Booker T to bring out his A game, not his B game.
00:31:08And DDP is so confident here that he has sent the members of the Triad back to do it along with Booker T.
00:31:16How about that poor statement?
00:31:18Don't get too overconfident with Booker T. He'll show you your lunch real quick.
00:31:23So will that man, though, DDP.
00:31:25Like he says, he's two-time, two-time former heavyweight champion of the world.
00:31:30He's always got a plan.
00:31:31He's always thinking.
00:31:32People call him trailer trash.
00:31:35But he can't take anything away from him.
00:31:38He's had it all.
00:31:39Adversity, he's had success, he's had money, fame, and he's still on a roll.
00:31:48Still to come.
00:31:51On the fringes now of the Macho Man in Hollywood, Hogan.
00:31:56World title bout live tonight on D&D.
00:32:02He looks ready.
00:32:03No, he's always ready.
00:32:05We've said it so many times, truly one of the finest athletes ever to be in a wrestling ring.
00:32:11Why does he have electrical tape on his nose?
00:32:14Tony, why does he have electrical tape on his nose?
00:32:17That is not electrical tape.
00:32:20That is one of those breathe right strips that all athletes, not all athletes, many athletes you see in football games put on the bridge of their nose.
00:32:29It opens up the nostrils and allows more airflow.
00:32:32Thus you can perform better with more oxygen.
00:32:35Thank you, Dr. Schiavone.
00:32:36You're more than one.
00:32:37Call 1-800-QUACK.
00:32:39Let's go tape to me.
00:32:49Side headlock.
00:32:50Down goes Booker T, Diamond Dallas Page.
00:32:53Former two-time World Heavyweight Champion.
00:32:55And a drop kick.
00:32:57There go your teeth.
00:33:00Like I used to use the term a long time ago and I still use it every day.
00:33:03There's Ham and Eggers out there.
00:33:05This man, Booker T, and DDP are definitely not Ham and Eggers.
00:33:08They're right off the menu at dinner time.
00:33:13DDP down on the floor.
00:33:14What a remarkable career, Diamond Dallas Page has had.
00:33:17Hired him to become a World Tag Team Champion.
00:33:19He's held every major title.
00:33:20And the fact is that he started out as a manager.
00:33:23But in 1991 became a pro wrestler.
00:33:26And think about it.
00:33:27In the span of eight years, all the titles the man has won.
00:33:31Well, he's dedicated.
00:33:32Like him or not, he's determined.
00:33:34He knows what he wants to do, what he has to do.
00:33:36He doesn't care if you like him.
00:33:37He doesn't care if you don't like him.
00:33:39He wants fame and fortune.
00:33:41He's gonna get it at anybody's expense.
00:33:43Whether it be Booker T or the Macho Man.
00:33:46And he's done all this in the span of eight years.
00:33:49Really, if you think about it, seven years.
00:33:51Because back in 1993, the rotator cuff injury kept him on the sidelines for 11 months.
00:33:56And he still, in those seven years, has literally done it all.
00:33:59No lack of confidence, like you said.
00:34:01Does he care about liking him?
00:34:03Are fans liking him?
00:34:04The answer is no.
00:34:06Booker T comes across Double Axe and got him in the side of the ribcage that time.
00:34:11And now Booker T sees an opening and kicks him back to the corner.
00:34:14Booker T's always on the aggressive.
00:34:18Whoa.
00:34:19You know what I would do if I was wrestling today and I wrestled a man that wore jewelry?
00:34:29You would tug and pull on that jewelry till it came off.
00:34:32You bet.
00:34:33Especially if it was pierced to a part of the body.
00:34:35You bet.
00:34:36You bet.
00:34:37Booker T is hammering the side of the head of D.E.P.
00:34:40Trying to hold a sidekick.
00:34:45Diving down his face, literally luring him into the rope that time.
00:34:50Like I said, like him or not, he knows what he's doing in there.
00:34:54He's been through the wars.
00:34:56He's been through the battle.
00:34:58And we've still not heard about what we heard from Eric Bischoff.
00:35:03The pending arrival of former champ Big Sexy Kevin Nash.
00:35:06But as soon as we find out when he arrives, we'll let you know.
00:35:09Meanwhile, here outside of the ring, D.E.P. obliterates Booker T.
00:35:15And see, that's what I like about D.E.P.
00:35:17He'll take chances.
00:35:18He'll sacrifice his own body to wipe you out.
00:35:22He's got a shooting back in the ring now.
00:35:29Out by himself, as we said.
00:35:31Sent the other members of the triad, the world tag team champs, back out of the way.
00:35:35That's confidence.
00:35:37If I was wrestling a Booker T, I don't want everybody out there that hangs with me.
00:35:42I don't want everybody out there that could help me.
00:35:44You need him with this guy.
00:35:45Here's a pickup, and a body drop.
00:35:48We're told we've got to take a commercial break.
00:35:51The tape machine is roaring.
00:35:53Who tells you this stuff?
00:35:54I never hear anybody.
00:35:55Wendy Turnbuckle does.
00:35:56Oh, I know her.
00:35:57Wow.
00:35:58It's been all on the outside.
00:36:00We are back live on TNT, and Eric Bischoff has rejoined us at our broadcast location.
00:36:06We went back to check on-
00:36:07Yeah, I went back.
00:36:08I did two things real quick.
00:36:09I called a guy by the name of Brad Siegel, who's president of the TNT Network.
00:36:12I called Harvey Schiller at his home in Phoenix, Arizona.
00:36:16And I'll tell you what, Flair is not getting out of this match.
00:36:20Flair will wrestle Sting next week on Nitro.
00:36:24The winner gets control of WCW.
00:36:28Flair can't pull his president crap.
00:36:30There are people over his head that are gonna force him into this match.
00:36:33It will happen next week here on Nitro.
00:36:35That's great news, and we all know Sting won the match, literally.
00:36:40A two count, Charles Robinson, little nature not.
00:36:44Sting was obviously your winner, Bobby Hand.
00:36:47Well, what can I say?
00:36:49Well, you can say that Sting and Flair next week will do it.
00:36:52They'll hook it up, and we're gonna see what's gonna happen.
00:36:54Will Sting control the company?
00:36:56Will he run the company?
00:36:57Or will Flair maintain his job?
00:36:59I don't know, Sting just doesn't strike me as a corporate kind of a guy.
00:37:01This is gonna be interesting to see how he plays it.
00:37:04But nevertheless, Flair made the match, Flair made the deal.
00:37:08Like I said, people above Flair are gonna make sure that it happens.
00:37:11Right now, Diamond Dallas Page is making sure that Booker T doesn't happen.
00:37:14Giddy Pee is hovering over Booker T.
00:37:18The elbow drop.
00:37:19And a warning, but that was illegal blow that time.
00:37:25It was in the mid-century.
00:37:27This guy is too much.
00:37:28Diamond Dallas Page, the world knows the guy used to live in my neighborhood.
00:37:31He lived about two doors down from me.
00:37:33What they don't know is property values went up 7% since he moved out.
00:37:38I'm not saying it's got anything to do with him.
00:37:40But I am saying it's a hell of a lot better place to live.
00:37:43One, two, and Booker T makes a kick out.
00:37:46Nick Patrick shows us only two, and here comes Booker T.
00:37:52At least trying to get back into this.
00:37:54But after the beating he took during the commercial break on the outside, it's amazing.
00:37:58Still in it.
00:38:00He lands on his feet.
00:38:02That's Booker T.
00:38:03Duck the lariat.
00:38:04Duck the second wand.
00:38:06Booker T is such a phenomenal athlete.
00:38:08One, two, and Page is so full of himself.
00:38:12Rather than doing a half-past job covering the guy, making an attempt to beat him,
00:38:17he is so full of himself, he's mugging for the camera at the same time.
00:38:20Well, you're not going to beat Booker T with that kind of a nonchalant cover.
00:38:23You've got to hook the man and hook him good.
00:38:26I think he knows this, but I think he's not, as he would say,
00:38:29ready to beat the man yet.
00:38:31And he puts on an abdominal stretch with extra leverage using the ropes.
00:38:36I don't see what's wrong with that.
00:38:37I think you ought to be able to hold the rope for leverage if you want.
00:38:39There's nothing wrong with that.
00:38:40They do hold it until they're seen and they get away with it a lot.
00:38:45Nick Patrick doing what he's supposed to do.
00:38:47Look at the man under attack and to see if he wants to stay in it or not.
00:38:51Shut up, you idiots!
00:38:54Fans, the minutes go by, the countdown continues.
00:38:58Hollywood Hogan makes his return tonight, going after the Macho Man,
00:39:02the new World Heavyweight champion.
00:39:04Can Hogan get the title back around his waist?
00:39:07Or does Team Macho have another elaborate plan?
00:39:10What will happen?
00:39:11It's coming up in a mere moments.
00:39:13But now as Nick Patrick sees what's going on, Booker T comes away with a great move.
00:39:17Well, if you know Savage like I know Savage, and I know you don't know him like I know him,
00:39:23he's got a plan.
00:39:24He's got a big plan.
00:39:26And that's to stop Hogan.
00:39:28Well, the other thing I did not see backstage while I was back there,
00:39:31and now granted I didn't cover a lot of ground, but Kevin Nash was not backstage.
00:39:35One, which surprises me.
00:39:38You know, Nash, he lost the match.
00:39:41He was the World Heavyweight Champion.
00:39:43He had a rematch clause in his contract.
00:39:47Granted, Savage had 30 days.
00:39:49He could control who he wrestled with in 30 days.
00:39:52Ergo sticking his mouth, sticking his foot in his mouth the way he did here tonight,
00:39:56challenging anybody.
00:39:57He could have held Nash off, but I am surprised Nash isn't here.
00:40:04We posed that question while you were in the back.
00:40:08And as you said earlier, we had expected Kevin Nash, the former World Champion, to arrive.
00:40:14So we'll wait and see.
00:40:16As Booker T now, trying to fight off Sleeper Hulk.
00:40:19He's coming back.
00:40:21Can he get the both feet? Yes, he can.
00:40:23Easily got the both feet.
00:40:25And a jawbreaker breaks away from the sleeper.
00:40:29But you know, at any time, DDP can slap him in that.
00:40:34Punches.
00:40:35In the diamond cutter is what you were gonna say.
00:40:37I was just watching him throw those punches.
00:40:39He's got fast hands too.
00:40:41Rapid fire blows.
00:40:43No question in anybody's mind, Booker T, a superior athlete to Diamond Dallas Page.
00:40:48One of the things that Page no longer has behind him was the crowd.
00:40:53A year ago, he was hanging and banging with Karl Malone.
00:40:57He had a tremendous amount of crowd support.
00:41:00Look at that spinning wheel kick.
00:41:02Caught him right on the button.
00:41:05Nicely done, Booker T.
00:41:09Look at DDP.
00:41:10He keeps coming back.
00:41:12Oh no!
00:41:13Forearm!
00:41:18Want to remind everybody, Thunder this Wednesday night, special night.
00:41:22Usually we're just a great setup for the Chip Channel, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite programs.
00:41:29I love this stuff.
00:41:31There's nothing like that, I know.
00:41:34But this week, we're Wednesday night.
00:41:36Two.
00:41:37Same time, 8.05 Eastern, like we said before, with Thunder on TBS.
00:41:43Booker T, Booker T!
00:41:45Booker T!
00:41:46Booker T!
00:41:47Booker T!
00:41:48Up top now.
00:41:49Forearm shot.
00:41:50Caught Booker T in the corner.
00:41:51Booker T!
00:41:52DDP tried to put the brakes on too late.
00:41:55Booker T tries to sense it flipping into the center.
00:41:58But he gets nailed by the knuckles in the forehead.
00:42:00One, two.
00:42:01Booker T gets him over.
00:42:02He suckered him!
00:42:03He suckered him!
00:42:04He suckered him!
00:42:05He suckered him!
00:42:06He didn't get him!
00:42:07Oh no!
00:42:08Almost caused DDP the match that time.
00:42:11In he goes to the ropes.
00:42:14Diamond Dallas Page!
00:42:15With the massive power!
00:42:17He's got him!
00:42:18He's got him!
00:42:19Couldn't keep him down!
00:42:20No!
00:42:21Did not have the shoulders draped by the legs that time.
00:42:27So Booker T easily got the upper body up and out.
00:42:32He's signaling for the diamond cutter.
00:42:34Here it comes.
00:42:36One of the most unique moves.
00:42:41And the referee goes down.
00:42:46Wrong place at the right time.
00:42:49Page is in serious trouble here.
00:42:54Watch for the axe kick.
00:42:55There it is!
00:42:57Sweet.
00:43:00A little spin up by the one and only Booker T.
00:43:03Canyon hitting the ring.
00:43:04Here they come!
00:43:06The triad!
00:43:08Boom!
00:43:09A Canyon flat liner!
00:43:12That's it!
00:43:14But the referee's out!
00:43:16So is Page!
00:43:18Does Booker!
00:43:21And now Nick Patrick shoved over by Canyon!
00:43:24One!
00:43:25Two!
00:43:26One!
00:43:27Two!
00:43:28And...
00:43:29No!
00:43:30He didn't get it!
00:43:31Oh, I thought he had him!
00:43:32I might have put the house on it!
00:43:34But Canyon...
00:43:35Yeah, I'm looking over at Canyon.
00:43:36He's got something in a bag there.
00:43:37I don't know if he can catch it on the camera.
00:43:39He turned his back and obviously you're right.
00:43:42Some sort of substance in a bag that he has in his hand.
00:43:46Look, pretty apparent what's going on here.
00:43:48Canyon...
00:43:49Oh!
00:43:50Oh, backfire!
00:43:51Tables turned on him as Booker T nailed him!
00:43:56Bam Bam Bigelow!
00:43:58Is in!
00:43:59And now the referee sees it, is asking for the bell!
00:44:03And now the triad, all three!
00:44:06What is that smell?
00:44:08I don't know, but Booker T has more problems as the diamond cutter was put on the referee!
00:44:18And now...
00:44:19Double diamond cutter!
00:44:21Booker T is out cold!
00:44:25Hey!
00:44:26He can't feel that!
00:44:28He can't feel that, he's out!
00:44:31They're trying to firmly injure this man!
00:44:34They pick him up!
00:44:37Triple team to the...
00:44:39What's this?
00:44:40They're taping him to the top rope!
00:44:42Athletic tape, trying to tape him to the top!
00:44:46And when that tape gets wet from all that sweat, you just can't get it off!
00:44:50Absolutely, it'll cut right through you!
00:44:51He won't get out of there!
00:44:53He is taped to the ring by the triad and DDP unversely having his way!
00:45:00Oh, look at this!
00:45:02Your brother's falling down, he can't get it out!
00:45:05Look at this baby!
00:45:07Oh!
00:45:08What?
00:45:09How could he sit there and watch this?
00:45:13And listen to what they had to say about his brother?
00:45:15Look at this!
00:45:16Look at this!
00:45:17He's had enough!
00:45:18Look at this!
00:45:19It's been two years since Stevie Ray has given a damn about what happened to his brother!
00:45:32And no man can stand there!
00:45:34There he comes!
00:45:35Cheering him!
00:45:36Blood is thicker than water!
00:45:38It is tonight!
00:45:39Stevie Ray, in an exit taken by the triad!
00:45:47It's a radical move, radical departure from the NWO, I'll tell you!
00:45:54Well, after seeing what he saw and being razzed by the black and white members of the NWO, he obviously had seen it out!
00:46:02Harlem Heat!
00:46:03And listen, the fans chanting the name that we haven't heard or used in a while of Harlem Heat!
00:46:10Harlem Heat!
00:46:11As he takes his brother off of the top rope!
00:46:14Next!
00:46:15That's right!
00:46:16Next!
00:46:17The world title match!
00:46:19The world's been waiting for!
00:46:21Hollywood Hogan against the world champion, the Macho Man Randy Savage!
00:46:26We're coming right back!
00:46:27The big one!
00:46:29All eyes of the Sports World are on top of this morning tonight.
00:46:34And we're so very glad you could join us for one of the biggest moments we can remember in a long, long time.
00:46:42The shock internal developments back in the very first segment of this program.
00:46:47Leading to this world title bout between two men who have wrestled together against each other,
00:46:57two men who are truly two of the biggest names ever.
00:47:03The Macho Man Randy Savage, 24 hours removed from the theft that he and his ladies
00:47:11fame of Kevin Nash in the world title, will face undeniably the biggest stars in the history of professional wrestling in Hollywood Hogan.
00:47:21They are beautiful.
00:47:26One is gorgeous, that's gorgeous, gorgeous.
00:47:29But they are so dangerous.
00:47:31You know something, Tony?
00:47:32Savage needs that belt to survive.
00:47:35That's his machine, that's what keeps him going.
00:47:38That belt, that title also is what keeps Hogan going.
00:47:41I disagree.
00:47:42I think what keeps Savage going is gorgeous George.
00:47:45Sure, that don't hurt either.
00:47:47I'm sure you're both right in your own way there.
00:47:49But make no mistake about it.
00:47:54The Macho Man Randy Savage, to be able to hold that WCW World Heavyweight Championship belt,
00:48:00it means more than a lot.
00:48:02And you know what that title means to Hogan?
00:48:05This is gonna be great.
00:48:07When we come back, one of the most dramatic entrances that we've not seen in a long time.
00:48:13Hollywood Hogan will be in the house.
00:48:15They're all standing.
00:48:16Welcome back to Nitro.
00:48:28And look at him standing.
00:48:30Awaiting the return to the ring of the one and only Hollywood Hogan.
00:48:36Here to sold out Jacksonville Coliseum, downtown Jacksonville, Florida.
00:48:41And here he comes.
00:48:42And he is coming out to the Wolfpack music.
00:48:47Oh, you're exactly right.
00:48:49The Wolfpack music.
00:48:50Brings Hollywood Hogan out.
00:48:52Very bold in the statement that he made, but he always is.
00:48:56About how Kevin Nash should have retained the world title last night.
00:49:02And here he comes.
00:49:06Wolfpack NWO signs, the red and the black, still out everywhere you go.
00:49:12Hollywood Hogan throws his shirt right at the Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:49:27Welcome back, folks.
00:49:29You see that?
00:49:30It's time for the fans standing up.
00:49:32Savage smells fear.
00:49:45It's his own.
00:49:47All right, Savage walking over to our company.
00:49:51I'll tell you something about that.
00:49:52If Savage does smell fear, that's what makes it more dangerous than you probably will ever see.
00:49:58The WCW World Heavyweight title up for grabs live here on Nitro.
00:50:08Not only the World Heavyweight title, but the biggest name in wrestling ever.
00:50:15And Hollywood Hogan looking to win the title again.
00:50:18There he is.
00:50:19And this crowd decidedly behind Hollywood Hogan, no mistaking it.
00:50:28Savage isn't here to make friends.
00:50:31There's your bell.
00:50:33And ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the center of the ring in the world title.
00:50:37We're casting an eye out towards the dangerous, gorgeous, beautiful women out.
00:50:43And now Stalk Savage, interesting to see.
00:50:47Hogan has always been a man to get to the offense quickly.
00:50:50Savage though cuts him off with a rake of the eyes.
00:50:52Yeah, but you talk about two guys that know each other extremely well, too well,
00:50:56inside and out, both in the ring, out of the ring.
00:50:59The match of man Randy Savage, Hollywood Hogan, they have got a history that is well documented.
00:51:05Like I said, what's interesting about this match up though, is the Macho Man Randy Savage coming off a match last night for the World Heavyweight title.
00:51:18Hogan on the other hand, he's been off for some time.
00:51:24Now, has he got a little bit of ring rushed on him?
00:51:28Is it gonna take him a little while to get his timing down?
00:51:30Is it gonna take him a little while to get in sync, so to speak?
00:51:33Or is he gonna be able to jump back in?
00:51:35And if he can get right back in this thing, and he doesn't have any ring rushed,
00:51:39he's gonna be able to take control of this thing.
00:51:41He's in much better shape than Savage by virtue of the fact that he didn't have to wrestle last night.
00:51:46Couple of nice big right hands on the top of the head of the Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:51:50Savage outside of the ring now.
00:51:52Take a little consolation with the ladies.
00:51:54Savage is gonna take his time.
00:51:56He's not gonna be rushed.
00:51:57And he's gonna do everything he can to distract Hogan.
00:52:01Speaking of distractions, they're in the ring, Paintbrush City.
00:52:05Do it! Do it! Do it!
00:52:09Please do it!
00:52:11Yes!
00:52:12Did he ever!
00:52:13Talk about being introduced.
00:52:15Doesn't look like there's a lot of regress.
00:52:18Madness, be Medusa.
00:52:19Medusa, be madness.
00:52:20Now get the hell out of the ring so I can win the title.
00:52:23They got in the ring.
00:52:26Oh, listen, look at these two.
00:52:28They're getting into an argument on the side of the ring.
00:52:30Oh, my.
00:52:31They're blaming each other.
00:52:34Oh, yeah!
00:52:36We've gotta fight!
00:52:38Tear it up, girlfriend!
00:52:40Tear it up, girlfriend!
00:52:42Security trying to pull Medusa away from Miss Madness.
00:52:46Oh, you go, girl!
00:52:48I loved it!
00:52:50Hey, what's the matter, Randy?
00:52:52Savage over here irate.
00:52:54Randy's popping a cork.
00:52:56In the meantime, his women are kicking the snot out of each other.
00:53:00This is great.
00:53:01I love this.
00:53:02Oh, Medusa.
00:53:03Medusa's more than a handful.
00:53:05Boy, is she ever.
00:53:06Easy there, boys.
00:53:07Easy there.
00:53:08She could be the world champion, probably.
00:53:10Meanwhile, Savage had more problems than he thought he would in the ring and out.
00:53:16All right.
00:53:17Anybody that doesn't understand why Hollywood Hogan could conceivably become the world heavyweight champion here tonight, take a look at what he just did.
00:53:25You know, they used to call him the Hulkster because he don't stir it up.
00:53:29He knows how to get people fighting against each other.
00:53:32He knows how to take all the focus out and off of himself, put it on somebody else.
00:53:36That's exactly what he did here tonight.
00:53:38He got rid of those two women.
00:53:41He not only neutralized those two women, now he's got Savage's head in his hands.
00:53:46So George is still in ringside.
00:53:48Yeah, but she's a lot more harmless now.
00:53:51Without the other two, you're right about that.
00:53:53He is so smart.
00:53:55And right now, he is so physical, he is hammering away at Savage.
00:54:00Well, Savage is no dummy.
00:54:02He's been in this sport a long time.
00:54:04Second generation, he knows everything to do in that ring that has to be done.
00:54:07That has to be done.
00:54:08He's a survivor.
00:54:09Take him out, Hollywood.
00:54:11Take him out.
00:54:12One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
00:54:15Spinole Hogan.
00:54:16Hammer that coconut, my friend.
00:54:18Take a bite out of it.
00:54:20Snap into this.
00:54:21Little Mike Tyson thing going on there.
00:54:23Where's Judge Mills Lane when you don't need him?
00:54:26To the side of the head, Hollywood Hogan keeps the pressure on into the throat.
00:54:32Controlling, dictating what happens in the ring and even out here tonight.
00:54:36Yes!
00:54:37Nice!
00:54:38And look at Hogan.
00:54:41As the moments go on, as the minutes go on in this match, he is getting more and more confident.
00:54:46Hogan is never more comfortable.
00:54:49He is never more in control than when he's inside of a wrestling ring.
00:54:53This is where this man is the happiest.
00:54:56This is where he's in control of his destiny.
00:54:59And right now, he's not only in control of his destiny, he's in control of Savage's.
00:55:03And therefore, Savage has to regroup here.
00:55:05Has to think of a way to come back from the onslaught from the one and only Hollywood Hogan.
00:55:10And there's a way.
00:55:11Telegraph the backdrop, that cost him.
00:55:13That cost him big.
00:55:14Sometimes even in big, big matches, you're gonna find nothing bigger than this one.
00:55:19A mistake could turn things around.
00:55:21But Hogan rebounded from that mistake.
00:55:23And clinch one on Savage, Savage walking away.
00:55:27Savage wants no more of Hogan.
00:55:29He's gonna try to get a disqualification here.
00:55:32He would prefer to get counted out.
00:55:33He can't lose a title on a count out.
00:55:35He won't lose a title on a DQ.
00:55:37He's gonna do everything he can to stay out of the ring with Hogan.
00:55:40He does not wanna have to face Hogan in the ring.
00:55:42Hogan's smart enough, he knows what Savage is up to.
00:55:45This is physical, this is chess, this is strategy.
00:55:49And this is trouble over the chair.
00:55:52Hogan stopped the chair by kicking the Macho Man.
00:55:57Hollywood on the back of the Macho Man.
00:56:01Oh, man, that hurt my head.
00:56:05That dented the chair.
00:56:06But Hogan also knows he can't beat the man on the floor.
00:56:10He's got to get him back in that ring if he wants to become the heavyweight champion of the world.
00:56:14That is a heck of a way to treat good furniture, let me tell you.
00:56:17And he knows it because he chased him immediately.
00:56:20And give Mickie J all the credit in the world.
00:56:23Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Right there, right there, right there, right there.
00:56:25Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
00:56:27Oh. This is really close to the action.
00:56:34Hey Savage, who sucks now?
00:56:36Yeah, this is why we love it at ringside, EV.
00:56:45I like it, I like it, yes.
00:56:49Just hammering his forehead, I really love it.
00:56:54Well, I'd hate to say it, but Hogan is in control, he's in command.
00:56:59Savage is in trouble.
00:57:00Savage finding out what they all have found out is that this table is like an
00:57:04anvil, it's going nowhere, buddy, it absorbed that blow.
00:57:09Hey, that was a great Nitro moment right there, Vance.
00:57:11I liked it.
00:57:13He's taking his belt off, Tony.
00:57:15Look at this, Hogan's taking his belt off, someone's gonna get a spanking.
00:57:20A great mental picture right here on the broadcast booth.
00:57:24Oh, look at this!
00:57:25He shoved gorgeous George right into Hogan, she goes down hard.
00:57:29I told you, he'll do anything, he'll sacrifice anybody, this guy, Savage, to win.
00:57:33I think she may be hurt as he literally threw the lady right in Hogan.
00:57:38Uh-oh.
00:57:39Here we go again.
00:57:40A little bit of payback.
00:57:41A little bit of payback.
00:57:42No!
00:57:43A little bit of payback.
00:57:44Not a joke, not a joke!
00:57:45Man!
00:57:46Fires that chair right across the back of the broadcast booth.
00:57:52Man!
00:57:54A little bit of payback there by the Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:58:01The broadcast table is taking one hell of a beat.
00:58:05This is-
00:58:06Man!
00:58:07You hear that?
00:58:08Savage is a vindictive.
00:58:11He is really vindictive.
00:58:14Every time he whacks Hogan with a strap, he looks over here.
00:58:25And now, tables have turned on Hollywood, literally.
00:58:30The Macho Man Randy Savage just whipping him like a dog.
00:58:38And you can hear the crowd.
00:58:40They are chanting Hogan's name.
00:58:42James Hogan!
00:58:43They are chanting Hogan's name.
00:58:45They are on their feet here.
00:58:47I got a new headset.
00:58:50They tore all the wires out of the desk here.
00:58:52What a fight.
00:58:53It's a memorable world title bet already.
00:58:58And neither man's done yet.
00:59:01Man!
00:59:03The smack heard around the world.
00:59:05Somebody get that belt away from him.
00:59:08Mama.
00:59:09I'll tell you what, if Hogan gets that belt away from him,
00:59:13it's gonna be a long night for Savage.
00:59:16And now the Macho Man Randy Savage choking Hollywood Hogan.
00:59:19And this surprises me a little bit.
00:59:22I really thought that Hogan would be the one with more salmon at this point.
00:59:28I really thought he'd be the fresher of the two.
00:59:31But right now the Macho Man is taking it to Hollywood Hogan.
00:59:35Well, let's remember that Macho did wrestle last night.
00:59:38But it was not a singles match, it was a tag team.
00:59:41So he didn't have to go the entire time, even though he did win the world title
00:59:45last night from Kevin Dan.
00:59:46And he is on an emotional roll.
00:59:48Sorry, Bobby, he is on an emotional roll.
00:59:50Make no mistake about it.
00:59:52He's got adrenaline running through his veins right now.
00:59:55Still on a high from last night.
00:59:57And winning the WCW World Heavyweight title.
00:59:59Well, he doesn't matter if he wrestled 18 guys last night.
01:00:02He's got Hogan at his mercy right now.
01:00:04Savage, you can say the most dangerous man on the planet, on any planet.
01:00:08And he's not gonna let Hogan up.
01:00:09He's gonna turn him.
01:00:10He just went to strap him across the back.
01:00:13That trip went right across his face, right into the eyes of Hollywood Hogan.
01:00:18So you know for Savage, we all know, the world knows, that beating Hogan will not be enough.
01:00:23He wants to beat down Hogan.
01:00:25Show Hogan up here when he makes a triumphant return on Nitro.
01:00:29That's why the strap, and that's why he'll strap, and he'll circle around, he'll parade, he'll boast.
01:00:36Hogan fighting for his life right now.
01:00:39Hogan is hot.
01:00:40He took one too many shots with that strap.
01:00:42He is hot.
01:00:43He is digging right hands into the lower ribcage of the Macho Man Randy Savage.
01:00:47Savage fighting back with a knee to the midsection.
01:00:49He was digging in.
01:00:50He was elbow deep.
01:00:51Right hands into the ribcage of the Macho Man Randy Savage.
01:00:54Savage goes right back to the strap.
01:00:56I think Hogan realized that it was do it now or not do it at all.
01:01:00He got up to his feet.
01:01:01He made a valiant fight to get back, but Savage is too much, too much of a man right now.
01:01:06Hogan is wounded.
01:01:07Hogan is hurt.
01:01:08I think you're very kind, Eric Bischoff, and saying he'd need him in the midsection.
01:01:11I think that was an obvious blow blow, and it stopped Hollywood Hogan's return fire.
01:01:16And here's Savage again.
01:01:18The scene that he wants to be played over and over again for weeks to come is him not only beating Hogan,
01:01:24retaining the world title, but Hogan at his mercy here, beating Hogan down,
01:01:28and that's what he's doing.
01:01:29And you know it's gotta be going through Savage's mind.
01:01:32Nothing makes him happier than put that leather to Hogan to whip him,
01:01:35to have him lay there like a beaten dog and put that belt to him.
01:01:38That's what's going through Savage's mind right now.
01:01:40This man is possessed.
01:01:42And he's going for the big elbow.
01:01:44At least that's what he said.
01:01:45He's gonna drop it.
01:01:47He is gonna drop it.
01:01:48From the top.
01:01:52Don't worry Savage, we're watching.
01:01:54Unfortunately, we're gonna have to call it.
01:01:56The Macho Man Randy Savage setting up for the elbow drop that helped him win the WCW
01:02:03World Heavyweight Championship last night.
01:02:05Hogan extremely vulnerable at this point, folding over in the middle of the ring.
01:02:10He is in ring center.
01:02:12Savage, scoops, body slam, setting his man up.
01:02:15Put him right where he wants him.
01:02:17And I'm afraid, gentlemen, this one is over.
01:02:19This is the beginning of the end right now.
01:02:21The scoop slam put him down, got the wind out of him.
01:02:24And now the crowning moment for the Macho Man.
01:02:27The world champion is up.
01:02:29Hogan is prone.
01:02:31He does not look to me like he's capable.
01:02:35Yes, he is.
01:02:36Nobody there, sucker.
01:02:40Hogan's up.
01:02:41There's new life in Hogan.
01:02:43He's to his feet right now.
01:02:46The scene that we've seen so many times played out again, Hogan hooking up.
01:02:52And listen to the people, this is what he thrives on.
01:02:55They're yelling, they're screaming for him.
01:02:57Hollywood is gonna whack him.
01:02:59There, we got it right between the eyes.
01:03:02Savage staggered.
01:03:03One, two, three, whip off the ropes.
01:03:05Hogan sets up and boot right to the side of the chops.
01:03:10And we have got Hollywood in the house.
01:03:13We've got company too.
01:03:15We've got Sid Vicious.
01:03:17Sid hammers Hogan.
01:03:19Sid Vicious hammered Hogan.
01:03:23He had to, he had to.
01:03:26And George just handed a chain to the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
01:03:32And the match is still going on.
01:03:35Hogan had asked for a no DQ in this match.
01:03:39Savage evidently has agreed the referee not calling for a disqualification here.
01:03:47And look at this, Sting down.
01:03:50Sting has come to the aid of Hollywood Hogan.
01:03:54Sting held the ring.
01:03:56Sid Vicious, Sid Vicious called for him earlier, and now he's got him.
01:04:01And that leaves two men in the ring.
01:04:03The one, he's got a chain on his right hand.
01:04:06No.
01:04:07The lights are gonna go off for Hogan.
01:04:09And they do.
01:04:10He's gonna retain his title, he's gonna retain it.
01:04:13Referee did not see a chain wrapped around the fist of the Macho Man Randy Savage.
01:04:19Savage going in one.
01:04:21Kevin Nash.
01:04:22He is here.
01:04:23Kevin Nash.
01:04:24He's in the building.
01:04:25He's in the house.
01:04:26In Jacksonville.
01:04:27He pulled the referee out.
01:04:29The former world champion.
01:04:31Setting him up.
01:04:32Yes.
01:04:33Yes.
01:04:34I'm out of nowhere.
01:04:36Kevin Nash, first thing, then Nash.
01:04:40And now Hogan.
01:04:41Where's the referee?
01:04:42Hogan's over.
01:04:43The referee is right there.
01:04:44One, two, three.
01:04:45One, two, three.
01:04:46Yes.
01:04:47We've got a new champion.
01:04:48A new world champion.
01:04:49Yes.
01:04:50Hogan's done it again.
01:04:51And this crowd is on their feet.
01:04:54My goodness.
01:04:56Truly one of the most exciting, over the top, electric moments that we've ever seen.
01:05:01On this program.
01:05:04Hogan does it again.
01:05:07Not a person in their seats.
01:05:09This crowd is all on their feet.
01:05:12And look at Hogan.
01:05:13He just realizes it now.
01:05:15He's the heavyweight champion of the world.
01:05:17How about the arrival of Kevin Nash?
01:05:22Hogan celebrating with the fans.
01:05:27On a moment that we will never forget.
01:05:31Remember Monday, July 12, 1999.
01:05:34Hey, Hollywood.
01:05:35Who was it?
01:05:37Was that Nash?
01:05:38Yeah.
01:05:39Hollywood.
01:05:40Down here, buddy.
01:05:43First of all, I just want to say, welcome back.
01:05:46Secondly, I want to say, that's two times I've handed you that belt.
01:05:59It's real simple.
01:06:09You know, I thought it was safe to go back in the water.
01:06:14But I just realized, the shark just came back in the tank.
01:06:19What does he mean by that?
01:06:22What does that mean, brother?
01:06:25What it means is this.
01:06:27You and me, for that title.
01:06:32Right now.
01:06:34Right now.
01:06:35No joke.
01:06:36No lay down.
01:06:38You and me, finally, for that title.
01:06:42And let me tell you something.
01:06:46Let me tell you something.
01:06:48This time, the outcome's gonna be my way.
01:06:53I'm sick and tired of getting screwed around right there.
01:06:56Let me tell you something.
01:06:57You and me, we're gonna finish this thing once and for all.
01:07:01You got it.
01:07:02You make the match.
01:07:03You tell me what you want to do.
01:07:05You know something, big man?
01:07:08You have got it.
01:07:11Wow.
01:07:14What a turn of events.
01:07:17Here tonight, Nash comes to the ring for all intents and purposes.
01:07:26Sets Hogan up for the win over the Macho Man Randy Savage.
01:07:31Turns around and then challenges him.
01:07:34And Hogan has accepted and on the horizon.
01:07:39The time, the place, the date.
01:07:40Kevin Nash says he's gonna ride along from many months ago and finally get in the ring with Hogan.
01:07:48You're gonna find out.
01:07:49All right.
01:07:50Gonna make some sense out of this.
01:07:52Remember, next week, it is going to be Flair and Sting for control of the company.
01:07:58But we've gotta make some sense out of this situation.
01:08:01Hogan said he'd do it.
01:08:03Nash said he wants it.
01:08:05We're gonna find out Wednesday on Thunder when this match is gonna take place.
01:08:10Evidently, the WCW World Heavyweight title is going to be up again.
01:08:16Good night, everybody.
