00:00:01Macho Man, I know that you fired me.
00:00:03Can I please be on your team again?
00:00:05You want me to reconsider?
00:00:07I want you to bet for your job.
00:00:09I've reconsidered Mona, and you're still fired.
00:00:14I want Dennis Rodman to get his out here right now.
00:00:19What's wrong, brother?
00:00:20Get your punk down here right now,
00:00:23and let's rock this place.
00:00:26Clearly taking advantage of the cheap shot.
00:00:29Drops an elbow.
00:00:31Dennis Rodman clearly out of control.
00:00:34Bill Goldberg, I am asking you to be my partner tonight.
00:00:40Hey, Goldberg, you want some?
00:00:42I want to get away from you.
00:00:51And Rick Steiner is taking charge here.
00:00:53And their double teaming sting.
00:00:55The chokeslam from Sid Vicious.
00:00:58No, Rick, no.
00:01:03Rick Steiner obviously out of control.
00:01:05I don't feel comfortable sitting here.
00:01:07Steiner outside of the ring.
00:01:08Wait a minute, this ain't happening.
00:01:10Hollywood Hogan goes after Rick Steiner and Sid Vicious.
00:01:15Kevin Nash is in.
00:01:17Kevin Nash is in.
00:01:18Oh, no!
00:01:22Oh, no!
00:01:45Well, thepoints played so far.
00:01:46I just had a chance.
00:01:47Oh, no!
00:01:48You've heard.
00:01:49I'll be heirs.
00:01:50I'm alive.
00:01:51You've all room to save the ball.
00:01:52What was on this panel.
00:01:53I'm going to say I'm hungry for dinner.
00:01:54Here we go.
00:01:55What do we do?
00:01:56Are you Quantiro vs.
00:02:03Like the weather around the United States of America during the summer of 1999, Monday Nitro is red hot.
00:02:18We come to you live from Boise, Idaho, in the Idaho Center.
00:02:23It's our first trip for World Championship.
00:02:25Our first trip for Monday Nitro, five days out now from a Road Wild 1999 sponsored by American Iron Horse Motorcycle.
00:02:37And as we head into Road Wild, we welcome you to three solid hours of World Championship Wrestling, only exclusively and live each and every Monday on TNT.
00:02:51And hi, once again, everybody, it's Tony Schiavone, my broadcast partner, the one and only Bobby the Brain Heenan.
00:02:58Five days away from one of the biggest world title matches in recent memory.
00:03:03The two men who together formed the new world order years ago will finally battle in the ring Kevin Nash and Hollywood Hogan this coming Saturday in Sturgis.
00:03:14Well, you saw what happened the other night where Nash picked up Hogan and power bound him right through this announce table, the old announce table.
00:03:21Absolutely.
00:03:21Well, that's sticking in Hogan's mind.
00:03:23You know how he feels.
00:03:24You know how Nash feels.
00:03:25What's at stake here?
00:03:26The World Championship.
00:03:28This is going to be great.
00:03:29There's a lot to talk about between these two men.
00:03:32But there's also a lot to talk about concerning one man by the name of Sting who a couple of weeks ago defeated Ric Flair and won control of World Championship Wrestling.
00:03:40He had a meeting with WCW officials during the week and then again this weekend.
00:03:45He has given control of WCW back to World Championship Wrestling.
00:03:49And WCW will name a new president in the weeks to come.
00:03:53J.J. Dillon is the head of the executive committee.
00:03:56He has named the American Dream Dusty Rhodes the head of the championship committee.
00:04:02And Dusty Rhodes, very much in tune with the young talent, will be able to name and sign title matches as he goes.
00:04:10So it's good to see the former three-time world champ, Dusty Rhodes, back with WCW, head of the championship committee.
00:04:16Well, his whole life has been this business, this sport.
00:04:18This is what he breathes and eats and loves.
00:04:21And if anybody can turn things around and make people stars, he can do it.
00:04:26Dusty Rhodes can certainly do it.
00:04:27Fans, once again, it's Road Wild.
00:04:29It's this coming Saturday, it's from the Black Hills of Sturgis.
00:04:33It's the one and only event.
00:04:35Hollywood Hogan, the world heavyweight champion.
00:04:38And big, sexy Kevin Nash, who twice has held the gold belt.
00:04:42Brought to you by American Iron Horse Motorcycles this Saturday.
00:04:46As you look at this capacity crowd that we have on hand here tonight in Boise.
00:04:52First time in Idaho for Monday Nitro, Bobby Eaton.
00:04:55I wonder how far Girlzies away from here.
00:04:59If you have a Boise, you must have a Girlzies.
00:05:02Wouldn't you think?
00:05:03They may.
00:05:05We're going to open up now.
00:05:07Our first match in hour number one with a six-man tag team event.
00:05:13Here on TNT and three of the exciting and young stars in WCW.
00:05:19Who will be making news with themselves.
00:05:22Normand Smiley, if you will.
00:05:24Lash LaRue, as you see right there, and Prince Ayakao, the former world television champion,
00:05:30comes in with him to open up the six-man tag.
00:05:33Good to see Normand Smiley back.
00:05:36I like to watch him wrestle.
00:05:37I like the way he slams the guy.
00:05:39He doesn't just slam the guy.
00:05:40He picks him up and spins him and just drives him in that match.
00:05:48And this Lash LaRue, he's got a lot going for him.
00:05:50He's going to make it big in this sport.
00:05:53Big time.
00:05:54And the Prince, he's been there.
00:05:56The Prince has been there.
00:05:58And quite a run about a year ago on the World Television Champion.
00:06:01And their opponents, along with Raven, members of the ICP.
00:06:15You can see in a clown, pussy, and of course, Vampiro.
00:06:21Raven has renamed his group ring.
00:06:24And he kind of got with me before the telecast and said, we're going to be known now as the Deadpool.
00:06:30I said, well, the Deadpool is what he wants to be called.
00:06:33But it's obviously anything involving Raven has been very, very bizarre.
00:06:40There is no question about that.
00:06:42And I think Vampiro certainly made a name for himself here on Monday Night Raw, on Thunder,
00:06:48on WCW Saturday night, on WCW Worldwide Wrestling, where you see him compete.
00:06:55And he's...
00:06:55There's the insane clown, pussy, comes out.
00:07:02A good-looking Raven.
00:07:05A little bit different look to Raven.
00:07:06You know, he's one strange person, but there's no doubt about that.
00:07:13How would you like to buy a house and find out next door to you the insane clowns will?
00:07:17Would you like that?
00:07:18Well, I guess if you like, uh, if you like K-pop or a bizarre neighborhood.
00:07:24Yeah, I guess you would do.
00:07:26They're a strange group of people.
00:07:30Vampiro's one tough man, though.
00:07:32I've seen him wrestle.
00:07:35If you watch Thunder on Thursday, you know the problems that have escalated between Vampiro and...
00:07:41and one Rey Mysterio Jr., and especially Eddie Guerrero.
00:07:47Rash LaRue, who is a young, up-and-coming star,
00:07:52who has made quite a name for himself in the Cruiserweight division,
00:07:54against a very intense personality.
00:07:57Smicky J looks on this, the opening battle of Monday Night Raw.
00:08:00Active against the ropes, and a clean break is Vampiro on overhead and slapped.
00:08:06And the self-proclaimed rage at Cajun.
00:08:08Max LaRue fires right back.
00:08:12Hollywood hugging it, Kevin Nash.
00:08:15You're talking about big, not only in size.
00:08:17Wow.
00:08:18Hollywood hugging it, six foot, eight inches.
00:08:21Kevin Nash, six feet, 11.
00:08:23Two of the biggest men ever, two of the biggest names ever.
00:08:26To battle, finally, for the world title this Saturday.
00:08:31Tagging been made, apparently, to Prince Ikea or Haddock.
00:08:36Doesn't matter.
00:08:37Well, apparently not that time, but Ikea trying to stand the sidekick,
00:08:41and Mickie J, they're trying to send Prince Ikea out on the outside.
00:08:46Or, wait a minute, is she going to send that life to LaRue on the outside?
00:08:50As Ikea now gets the tag and comes in.
00:08:53A little double-teaming that's tied by the team of Smiley, Ikea, and LaRue.
00:08:58To the corner, they go!
00:09:05One thing that we've seen from Vampiro, over a past few weeks, Brian, and that is, the man is powerful.
00:09:13Oh, the man is quick.
00:09:17And you know what I've noticed about him?
00:09:18The more you beat on him, the more he likes it.
00:09:21That makes it double tough to beat that man.
00:09:25All right, Jack Jekyll, insane clown posture.
00:09:31We've seen what these men can do on the outside.
00:09:34Do we know what recording stars they are?
00:09:37And a man suplex at all that time.
00:09:40Now show us what they can do inside the ring.
00:09:42That's one bad-looking clown.
00:09:47He sends Ikea, almost a low blow that time.
00:09:50Kicked him in the lower abdominal region.
00:09:53Picks him up.
00:09:55Up on top of Vampiro.
00:09:58Is that a necklace around his neck or his teeth?
00:10:01Landed him that time with a lariat off of the turnbuckle pads.
00:10:05And as Mickey J is involved here with Norman Smiley,
00:10:08it's a triple team from the Insane Clown Posse in Vampiro.
00:10:12Along with Raven and Rigsaw.
00:10:15Well, that says it all when you say Insane Clown Posse.
00:10:18How can a referee control anything like this?
00:10:21This is what makes it fun to call.
00:10:23This is what's fun to watch about WCW.
00:10:26During the course of this program, as you might imagine,
00:10:29all the top superstars in WCW are here.
00:10:35How about that DDT?
00:10:37Including world champion Hollywood Hogan, Kevin Nash.
00:10:42Goldberg is here.
00:10:46And they also understand David Flair is here.
00:10:48The United States champion.
00:10:51Well, that means when you see David, you're going to see Torrey.
00:10:53You're going to see Torrey.
00:10:54Remember what David Flair said last week?
00:10:57That his father told him that he did not have to defend the title
00:11:00but once every 30 days.
00:11:04That's something I've never understood.
00:11:06The champion has to defend his title every 30 days.
00:11:09Why do they defend it more if they don't have to?
00:11:11I never understood that.
00:11:13You're talking about every 30 days.
00:11:15That's 12 times a year.
00:11:16That's a lot of title defenses.
00:11:19I would agree with you.
00:11:20That's enough.
00:11:21It's up to WCW.
00:11:23Usually.
00:11:26Not up to the champion.
00:11:27How many times do you want to defend the title?
00:11:29It's always been up to the promotion break.
00:11:31I know, but if you have a 30-day grace period,
00:11:34you should take advantage of it.
00:11:36Boxers do.
00:11:37They fight once a year.
00:11:38Maybe.
00:11:41As Norman Smiley got the attention of the referee,
00:11:44Vampiro took the low road.
00:11:47That time on Prince Iakea.
00:11:50Tag has made great teamwork here at Kibben.
00:11:53But I think it's St. Cloud Posse along with Vampiro.
00:11:57And a double team that time running over Prince Iakea,
00:12:01who desperately needs to make a tag.
00:12:03And Norman Smiley is straight on the outside the entire time here.
00:12:08A pair of leg drops that time.
00:12:09Vampiro gets the attention of the referee.
00:12:12Meanwhile, leg drops.
00:12:14The Prince isn't doing too well right now.
00:12:16He's in a bad neighborhood, and they got him trapped.
00:12:21Excellent ruin.
00:12:25Norman Smiley a little bit overzealous trying to get into the ring.
00:12:28And now, finally, Prince will get himself a cover.
00:12:31And gets only a two-count.
00:12:35Prince Iakea trying to dig down deep inside.
00:12:38But as he does, here comes Vampiro.
00:12:41Doesn't care about the rules.
00:12:42Just gets in and does what he wants to do.
00:12:44I like a guy that takes charge.
00:12:47That's exactly what it's done, blindsided.
00:12:49Prince Iakea.
00:12:51They have effectively picked one man for the team.
00:12:55Worked on one man only.
00:12:57Dumped him on the outside.
00:12:59This can only be trouble.
00:13:01For one Prince Iakea.
00:13:03Excellent ruin trying to come over.
00:13:05Now, being ushered back by the referee.
00:13:07Watch out here.
00:13:09And Pirah!
00:13:10Oh, my!
00:13:11And the clouds go to work.
00:13:17Spirited him into the steel steps.
00:13:19Raven perched on those steel steps.
00:13:22So there was no give that time at all.
00:13:25There's not much give to steel.
00:13:27Oh, not at all.
00:13:28We're using those steps.
00:13:29We'll move a little bit.
00:13:30Oh!
00:13:31Now that he's on.
00:13:32And the best move so far here by Prince Iakea has been a defensive one to get out of the way.
00:13:39Now he needs to get to the corner.
00:13:41But can he?
00:13:42Yes, he can.
00:13:43No Man's Smiley!
00:13:45We'll go right in to No Man's land.
00:13:48Take one down.
00:13:49No!
00:13:50Look at the slams.
00:13:51That's what I like.
00:13:52With authority.
00:13:54And the fans are digging this.
00:13:55Yes!
00:13:57No Man's Smiley is alive.
00:14:00They love it.
00:14:04Doing a little dance of hats.
00:14:06And the fans are rocked.
00:14:07And last one room.
00:14:09What a move that was.
00:14:11This is like a battle of oil, Tony.
00:14:14Six men lost.
00:14:15Six men covered up.
00:14:16Who's legal?
00:14:17Going at each other.
00:14:18I believe it's still No Man's Smiley.
00:14:20Who cares?
00:14:22This is great action.
00:14:23One!
00:14:24Two!
00:14:24Standing everywhere.
00:14:26Here in the Idaho Center.
00:14:31Meanwhile, a pickup in the ring.
00:14:33Vampiro sends Lashlero.
00:14:37Back of the head.
00:14:39To the center of the mat.
00:14:40There's a bunch of bodies out here on the floor.
00:14:48What are they gonna try here?
00:14:50Could this be a movesault?
00:14:52Time maneuver?
00:14:54That's what it is!
00:14:57One, two, three!
00:14:59That's it!
00:15:00It's over!
00:15:01An exciting way to open out three hours of live lesson action by TNT!
00:15:13As the Morose Raven looks on, and the group is now called The Deadpool.
00:15:21The insane half-hunting, and Vampiro, defeating Smiley, LaRue, and Iakea.
00:15:27We're coming back on TNT.
00:15:29We'll let you know, fans, that TV Guide magazine is available on newsstands everywhere right now in the second in a series of WCW collector covers.
00:15:42TV Guide available on newsstands everywhere with Puberly, Macho Man, Sting, and Kevin Nash.
00:15:47As we go to the ring, as we go to the beautiful, the vivacious, the one, the only, Macho Girls!
00:15:54Yes, Mr. Schiavone!
00:15:59Those are collector's items. Save them!
00:16:01They really are.
00:16:02TV Guide magazine and world championship wrestling at the forefront of wrestling excitement around the world.
00:16:09Where this coming Saturday, it's Sturgis, the Black Hills, more than just a wrestling pay-per-view spectacular.
00:16:16It's an event like none other parts of the great Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
00:16:22And we're very proud to be there for the fourth consecutive year in the biggest world title match ever with Hollywood Hogan and Kevin Nash this coming Saturday.
00:16:32Two biggest men in this sport.
00:16:36As the Nitro Girls finished, just about ready to go back to wrestling action.
00:16:40Why?
00:16:41Rick Flair isn't the president anymore, and the last eight months as he was taking over world championship wrestling, he ran this company right into the ground.
00:16:48We're here collectively, as a unit, to ask you if you know of anything that's going on around here.
00:16:53Are things going to change, and if they are, when?
00:16:56You know, all four of us, we're not getting any younger, Dustin.
00:16:58Well, I'll tell you what, there are going to be a change, and there's going to be a big change.
00:17:02You guys are going to get the opportunity.
00:17:04Once you get it, you're going to have to prove yourself.
00:17:06That's all we can do now with the executive committee, is get that opportunity.
00:17:10Once you get that opportunity, it's going to be laid on you.
00:17:12You know yourself, each and every one of you.
00:17:14There are young guys that are out here right now that I took a lot of great pains with.
00:17:18The youth of this business, the youth of this industry will overcome everything.
00:17:24You talk revolution, whatever it is, we're going to make this thing happen.
00:17:27But if you get there, and then you fall short, it ain't my fault.
00:17:30Shane, I know you know the nature boy, Rick Flair.
00:17:32Yeah, there's no love lost with me and the nature boy, Rick Flair.
00:17:36Are you telling those Rick Flair stories, your old-timer?
00:17:40Hey, champ.
00:17:41Hey, champ.
00:17:42About that title fight.
00:17:44You got 30 days, pal.
00:17:46Let him go!
00:17:47Come on, Chris!
00:17:48Let him go!
00:17:49Let him go!
00:17:53Come on!
00:17:56Let him go!
00:17:57Let him go!
00:17:58Let him go!
00:17:58Let him go!
00:17:58Let him go!
00:18:01Let him go!
00:18:01Let him go!
00:18:02Hey, I'll tell you.
00:18:02I'll tell you, you talk about calling me old man, I'll tell you how we start this right now.
00:18:07You will defend the United States Heavyweight title tonight against Chris Benoit right here on Nitro.
00:18:14That's the way this old man starts it.
00:18:20Well, there you are here in the back.
00:18:22The new leader of the Appendianship Committee making things happen.
00:18:26And Dusty Rhodes, the American Dream is signed.
00:18:30David Flair to defend the U.S. title against the football, Chris Benoit.
00:18:36You'll see it tonight live here on CNT.
00:18:39That's what I like about the American Dream.
00:18:41He makes things happen.
00:18:43He said, you want to be an old, you want to mess with an old man?
00:18:45I'll show you.
00:18:47This is going to be great.
00:18:50Obviously, Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit, Perry Saturday,
00:18:53KW Petscher, Christian Swift, Dusty Rhodes, the American Dream.
00:18:57But it seems, it feels now, Ray, that maybe the WTW is back on the right track.
00:19:03And I really personally hate to say that because of the long-time respect I had for the nature boy, Rick Flair,
00:19:10but that situation had really deteriorated over the past few months.
00:19:15And I think that maybe, I don't know, this may be a good sign, a good first step for our great company.
00:19:21Well, Dusty said it all right there.
00:19:24He has no love lost to the nature boy, Rick Flair, or his son.
00:19:28He's going to try to give a break to the younger guys in this sport coming up.
00:19:33And this is going to be very interesting, really interesting.
00:19:37So David Flair, who's just a week ago, is going to lay it out to all of us, saying,
00:19:42I will not have to defend my title but once in 30 days.
00:19:50That was all but vetoed by the American Dream, Dusty Rhodes.
00:19:56So we got that for you coming up here tonight, plus a whole lot more on TNT,
00:20:03live on WCW Monday Nightclub.
00:20:05Now the arrival of Curt Hennig, Barry Wyndham,
00:20:16in the West, Texas Rednecks,
00:20:19with his tag team out, here against Public Enemy.
00:20:23I was glad to see them walk into your establishment around 1230 at night.
00:20:27Wow.
00:20:29Oh, man.
00:20:32Seems that you know it is talked about.
00:20:35Here tonight performing.
00:20:40It's going to be Chad Brock,
00:20:42one of the country music's most talked about,
00:20:44new acts, new talents.
00:20:47His debut album at the end of last year.
00:20:50Chad Brock, a success with his hit,
00:20:53Ordinary Life,
00:20:53But he'll be performing one of his hits here tonight.
00:20:59And of course, Kurt Hennig, the man who brought the I Hate Rap song into the forefront in
00:21:06Treachery Music, took exception to Chad Brock's appearance here tonight.
00:21:11As a matter of fact, last week, if you'll recall, he called Chad Brock, Chad Flop.
00:21:17Chad Brock is anything with a flop.
00:21:20Well, here's the whole thing Kurt told me, like he said last week.
00:21:23Everyone his whole life has tried to copy him in this sport, has tried to copy him and emulate
00:21:28the things he does in that ring.
00:21:30That's understandable, because he's a tremendous talent.
00:21:33And now that he's a great singer, a great country singer now, he's going to go gold, he's going
00:21:37to go platinum, he's going to go all the way to the top.
00:21:40That song, Rap is Crap.
00:21:42And I guess he doesn't like the idea of this other guy coming around singing.
00:21:47It's just not some other guy coming around singing, great.
00:21:50Well, to him it is.
00:21:51Chad Brock is a recording artist with the Warner Brothers label, working on his second album
00:21:56right now.
00:21:57Chad Brock has toured with country music names such as Alan Jackson.
00:22:02And Chad Brock has known professional wrestling that we'll be talking about during the course
00:22:08of this program.
00:22:08And see, Chad Brock has wrestled professionally as well.
00:22:12And he spent a lot of time on the road with a lot of those big music stars, driving the
00:22:17bus.
00:22:18So that's not true.
00:22:21Anyway, Chad Brock will be out here performing.
00:22:23Meanwhile, Kurt Hennig right now doing what he does best, and that is wrestling.
00:22:30And he sends Rock O' Rock into the neutral turnbuckle.
00:22:32You can say what you want to about Hennig and his song.
00:22:38And yeah, it was catchy.
00:22:40It was pretty neat.
00:22:41But where Hennig excels is between the ropes.
00:22:44And Rock O' Rock rebounds running over Kurt Hennig.
00:22:47Well, you're not going to run over Kurt Hennig for long.
00:22:52He'll stop you real quick.
00:22:54I know his history.
00:22:55I know his family.
00:22:57What a competitor.
00:22:59What a tough, tough individual.
00:23:02And of course, he has surrounded himself with the numbers game.
00:23:06He's got Bobby Duncombe Jr.
00:23:07He's got Kendall Windham on the outside.
00:23:10And he's got Barry Windham as his partner.
00:23:12And together, Hennig and Windham earlier this year became World Tag Team Champions.
00:23:18They have tasted the gold.
00:23:20They know what it's like.
00:23:22Hitting with Hilarion.
00:23:23Nick Hendrick down.
00:23:24And we've got to take him.
00:23:26They switch off so fast.
00:23:28They can tag in and out.
00:23:29They're so quick.
00:23:30That's what the other team like Public Enemy has to understand.
00:23:33You're not wrestling one man out there.
00:23:34You're wrestling four.
00:23:35And you're going to be ready.
00:23:38Hitting the ropes, Barry Windham.
00:23:40Back up.
00:23:43Johnny Grunt.
00:23:44Tag was made.
00:23:46And the fans are all over Barry Windham.
00:23:48And Kurt Hennig.
00:23:49And behind Public Enemy is McPetrick Walshman.
00:23:53And they get back to the corner outside.
00:23:56This is a great team.
00:23:59These West Texas Rednecks.
00:24:00I love them.
00:24:01I'm not really a country music fan.
00:24:03But you've got to go with these guys.
00:24:05They are one tough bunch of guys.
00:24:07Walked right into Johnny Grunt.
00:24:10Right hand.
00:24:13Back up against the ropes now.
00:24:15Here's the whip.
00:24:17Kendall Windham hooks the foot.
00:24:19And that gets.
00:24:19Oh.
00:24:20An opening here to Kurt Hennig.
00:24:23As he's...
00:24:23Sets Johnny Grunt down with a hard right hand.
00:24:27As you just heard, we have signed, to be more specific, Dusty Rhodes.
00:24:34The new head of the championship committee has signed David Flair along with Tory to defend
00:24:40the United States title against a very willing, a very intense Chris, the Crippler Benoit.
00:24:46That is still to come.
00:24:50We understand tonight.
00:24:52We are going to hear from the macho man, Randy Savage, who Thursday night promised us
00:24:57that he had some major surprises to lay on the wrestling world.
00:25:04Dennis Rodman, the Worms here.
00:25:08I'll tell you, if Savage tells you something's going to happen, it's going to happen big time.
00:25:14Hang on one end.
00:25:15On the other end.
00:25:16Racco Rodman.
00:25:17Right hand.
00:25:19Now Sending Hiddig down.
00:25:21Down goes Barry Windham.
00:25:22What a double-team maneuver that was.
00:25:31Swinging neckbreaker.
00:25:34And now Public Enemy.
00:25:36Maybe in the midst of what would have to be considered an upset here.
00:25:42They put Barry Windham on the table.
00:25:45Oh, this is going to be good.
00:25:48Here comes Rocco Rock.
00:25:51No!
00:25:51There goes Rocco Rock and Barry Windham.
00:25:56Windham smashed onto the top of the table.
00:26:00And on the inside, there's a cover.
00:26:02That's hitting.
00:26:06From behind, gets the pin.
00:26:09What a good old boy.
00:26:11So it's Barry Windham, who is just getting back to the ring, felt the table.
00:26:15We like to watch our wrestling every week on TV.
00:26:18Johnny Grunt.
00:26:20Feels the one, two, three.
00:26:22At the hands of Kurt Henning in the West Texas Rednecks.
00:26:28Still to come, ladies action.
00:26:31The former Miss Bandits, Mona, in singles competition next.
00:26:35Oh, yeah.
00:26:36We got a marriage.
00:26:36Closed captioning, you are available, sponsored by Western Union.
00:26:47This portion of WCW Monday Night for Live on TNT, brought to you by Starburst Heart Candy.
00:26:53Give it some juice.
00:26:54Five days away from Road Wild, sponsored by American Ironheart and Motorcycle.
00:27:03Where the much young man, Randy Sachs, former world champ, will take on maybe the greatest rebounder in NBA history.
00:27:10Now co-wrestler, the worm, Dennis Rodman.
00:27:13It's this Saturday, it's live, it's only on pay-per-view.
00:27:16You know what, Brain?
00:27:17It only takes a second to order a WCW pay-per-view.
00:27:21You can make that phone call to your cable operator.
00:27:24A lot of times you can do it with direct ticket on direct TV through your remote.
00:27:29Or with AmeriCast satellite systems with remote.
00:27:32What takes you only a second to order will give you memories that will last a lifetime.
00:27:37Hollywood Hogan, Kevin Nash, the Macho Man Savage.
00:27:43The worm, Dennis Rodman.
00:27:45Just the tip of the iceberg in Sturges, in the Black Hills, this coming Saturday.
00:27:51With 250,000 people on motorcycles, it takes nothing to call an order.
00:27:56Do it.
00:27:57If you don't do it, you're dumb.
00:27:59The ladies match here, women's match competition in WCW.
00:28:03Our first look at Little Jeannie.
00:28:06Her second year in ladies wrestling, making her WCW debut.
00:28:13She wants the referee to open the ropes for her.
00:28:15I like this.
00:28:16She's got a little spunk.
00:28:17I did understand.
00:28:18Not only is she prolific as far as suplexes are concerned, using the top rope suplex as
00:28:25her primary weapon.
00:28:26But she has a very surly, a very bad attitude.
00:28:30She showed a little display of that just moments ago.
00:28:32Most women do.
00:28:35And she'll face a lady who gets a rousing round of applause.
00:28:40Oh, yeah.
00:28:41Nothing else.
00:28:42The fact that she stood up to the Macho Man Randy Savage a week ago, asking for her job
00:28:48back, wanting to be Miss Madness once again.
00:28:52And Savage said no.
00:28:54So Mona comes out by herself.
00:28:56I like what Savage did.
00:28:57He made her get down on her hands and knees and begged for her job.
00:29:01And then he fired her.
00:29:02That's a block.
00:29:03Well, that's the Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:29:07That's the way he operates.
00:29:08There's no denying what Mona can do in the ring.
00:29:12She's a native of Forest Lake, Minnesota.
00:29:15She started out in gymnastics at a very young age.
00:29:19Went into powerlifting in women's division.
00:29:22And was into powerlifting.
00:29:24Started at age 14.
00:29:26Has now made the move.
00:29:27And if you think about the combination of powerlifting and gymnastics, that means you're
00:29:32agile and you're very powerful.
00:29:33She has it all.
00:29:35And she's going to wrestle Little Genie in this ladies matchup we've got for you here on
00:29:40WCW Monday Night's Row.
00:29:44Let's see what Little Genie has.
00:29:46You're going to rub the bottle and see who comes out?
00:29:50She's going to take down that time.
00:29:53Got him a good go-behind by Little Genie.
00:29:58How about that reversal into a hammerlock?
00:30:02The cheers that you heard for Mona has to do in with a lot of things.
00:30:08Of course, she's a beautiful young lady.
00:30:10I don't think there's any question about that.
00:30:12She's a very prolific wrestler.
00:30:14But also, I think, her standing up to Randy Savage a week ago, finally, got her a lot of
00:30:22respect with Pirates Keri Tinkover with the wrestling public.
00:30:26Don't you think, Greg?
00:30:26Well, she did what she thought she had to do.
00:30:29But you don't want to make an enemy out of the Macho Man.
00:30:31You never want to make an enemy out of him.
00:30:33He will come back.
00:30:34He will come back and make you know who you messed with.
00:30:39And I'm sure she realizes that, but enough was enough.
00:30:42Little Genie goes behind with a hammerlock again.
00:30:45Great.
00:30:46Noah jumping up in the air.
00:30:47Snap made her over that time.
00:30:50Deep Andre takeover.
00:30:51And another one here by Mona.
00:30:58Mona's got some moves.
00:31:00She's wrestling with a lot of confidence as well.
00:31:04I don't think there's any question.
00:31:06You can see it the way she operates, the way she maneuvers around the ring.
00:31:09Oh, I can see it.
00:31:11She's a veteran.
00:31:13And Little Genie's got a cut in the corner.
00:31:16Here's Johnny Bone.
00:31:17He's asking to Manny for a break.
00:31:18Come on up on tap.
00:31:23Joe Punky flipped around in the center of the ring.
00:31:27And running all the way out of the floor, Little Genie.
00:31:31That's something I could never understand how anybody, women, men, would want to wrestle barefoot.
00:31:37So dangerous.
00:31:38You've got ten little digits there that people can stomp on and break.
00:31:42That certainly gives another point of attack for your opponent, but I guess you're used to it, Brian.
00:31:46I guess that's what it is.
00:31:47You're used to it with gymnastics and everything she probably was used to, though.
00:31:50I need to get back to the street right now.
00:31:52And now Little Genie is really buying some time as you take a good look at them.
00:31:58One of the most popular lady wrestlers in a long time.
00:32:01Mona demanding Little Genie come in.
00:32:04And Genie is just really wasting some time, almost to the point where she's going to get counted out.
00:32:09She dared Mona to come on the outside, and then when Mona did, Little Genie snuck on the inside that time.
00:32:15That was a good move.
00:32:18That's what mind game's going on here.
00:32:22She comes back in, and that gave Little Genie the opening with a double action.
00:32:27Always a disadvantage, as you know, wins.
00:32:29I'm watching this program.
00:32:31You have to come in the ring and take your eyes away from your opponent.
00:32:34You're at that disadvantage.
00:32:36And Genie taking advantage.
00:32:38Not a bad knife at the child.
00:32:40She really hauled off with that second one.
00:32:42Cindy Mona in.
00:32:47Good move.
00:32:49That's a takeover.
00:32:50But a good move that time.
00:32:52Countermove.
00:32:53And a sunset flip by Mona.
00:32:55And then she gets freaked out by a running close line by Little Genie.
00:33:00That one hurt Mona because she gets up slowly in the corner.
00:33:03That hurt me.
00:33:11Now caught up in the middle, Turnbuckle.
00:33:13That'll ruin your hairdo.
00:33:15An open target here for Mona.
00:33:17She pulls her away.
00:33:19Probably the best thing that could have happened to Little Genie that time.
00:33:22And the old hair field.
00:33:24Right to the other corner.
00:33:25Jump kicking the back of the head.
00:33:26These ladies are pushing the envelope here.
00:33:33They are giving it their all.
00:33:36Back body drop into the center of the ring.
00:33:40And Monet, as you can see, fans, as she gets it off this coin, it's very difficult to deal with it.
00:33:44Little Genie into the corner.
00:33:49Little Genie into the corner.
00:33:53And Stan.
00:33:54Head first.
00:33:56Mona.
00:33:59Don't have a chance to pin her that time.
00:34:01But instead, going to hook on.
00:34:07Roll the boat.
00:34:08Roll the boat.
00:34:09Combination.
00:34:10It is Deathlock.
00:34:12And surfboard.
00:34:13And she maneuvers right here.
00:34:15Wait a minute.
00:34:16That's Brandi Alexander.
00:34:20She has come in the ring.
00:34:21And Mona gets her.
00:34:24What for?
00:34:26Trying to take advantage of Mona after she had gotten the one, two, three.
00:34:31But Mona was too quick for her.
00:34:33I love the women action.
00:34:37Three weeks ago, these two ladies went at it on Thunder.
00:34:40Something that Brandi Alexander has not forgotten.
00:34:44Trying to get the cheap shot in.
00:34:46But it was to no avail.
00:34:48Mona continues her winning ways.
00:34:50Here on Monday Night's Road.
00:34:52Here on Monday Night's Road.
00:35:20Okay, we gotta go.
00:35:27Daddy, it's time for your interview.
00:35:29I know I'm late.
00:35:29Dad, why didn't you want the stuff that I've asked?
00:35:32What do you mean?
00:35:33Okay, we gotta go.
00:35:34Just go.
00:35:40Just hold it.
00:35:41Oh my God.
00:35:42Come on, my boy.
00:36:02Okay, man.
00:36:04I'm coming.
00:36:05He's in the arena.
00:36:21We have been waiting the arrival of Hollywood Hawkins for his interview.
00:36:25But as we can see, near the entranceway there, he is now being triple-team brutal attacked by Kevin Nash.
00:36:35Significious.
00:36:38And Rick Steiner.
00:36:41And they are doing a number on Hogan.
00:36:44Did not even make it out for his scheduled interview.
00:36:47He gets thrown head first into the gold belt.
00:36:57Why you don't mess with Kevin Nash, Steiner, or big Sid Vicious?
00:37:02I don't think there's any question Nash has his spirit, his troops.
00:37:07As a matter of fact, Nash just told Sid Vicious, let's bring him in the ring.
00:37:11Let's powerbomb the man.
00:37:13We're gonna take him apart, Tony.
00:37:14Remember, one week ago, on this program, he was powerbombed on this table.
00:37:22The other table.
00:37:23Yeah, the table that was broken apart.
00:37:26Goldberg has come out.
00:37:27Sting has come out.
00:37:28We mentioned earlier that these men were in the building.
00:37:31And they've come out to stand firmly beside Hollywood Hogan.
00:37:39Look at the face of Nash.
00:37:41The smile on his face as Hogan stands back up.
00:37:44And look at Hogan.
00:37:45Like you said, Tony, he is back on his feet with the help of Sting and Goldberg.
00:37:51Oh my, what a night Saturday night's gonna be.
00:37:59It's gonna be more than the world title up for grabs.
00:38:04It's gonna be the two biggest men who in the 90s laid the foundation of the New World Order,
00:38:12who have dominated the world title scene over the past couple of years.
00:38:16Hogan wants to stick.
00:38:17I don't know who in the hell you people think you are, but this business is my life, and I've been in this business all my life.
00:38:28I am so sick and tired of you three.
00:38:34You know what?
00:38:36I've got a couple really good friends here, man.
00:38:39And we were talking just the other day.
00:38:41And you know what?
00:38:43Opportunity seems to present itself.
00:38:46At Sturgis, not only am I gonna put my belt on the line, Kevin Nash,
00:38:52if you beat me, I'll quit this business.
00:38:56I'll put my career on the line.
00:38:58What?
00:38:59But my two friends here, we were talking last week, and we've been praying for this chance.
00:39:06Since you three are here, and we're out here waiting,
00:39:10how about all six of us getting it on right here tonight?
00:39:15Yeah, let's do it.
00:39:16Come on back to the ring.
00:39:18Let's do it right now.
00:39:19Let's do it right now.
00:39:23They're ready.
00:39:24It's unanimous.
00:39:26All the fans want it.
00:39:29How about it?
00:39:32You and me, big man, built my career at Sturgis.
00:39:36But tonight, brother, all six of us, one time.
00:39:43I want to see that.
00:39:45The ball's in your car, Kevin Nash.
00:39:48Your serve.
00:39:49We've just conversed, and the three of us decided, if you ladies want to fight tonight,
00:39:59you got it.
00:40:00All right.
00:40:01You ladies.
00:40:01The war of the words continue as you look at the Mammoth Goldberg.
00:40:10Yes.
00:40:11One more thing.
00:40:14One more stipulation.
00:40:17Tonight, since big man here is putting everything on the line, if we win tonight, how about you put everything on the line this Sunday at Sturgis, or Saturday at Sturgis?
00:40:27Everything.
00:40:29Put your career on the line.
00:40:33Do it.
00:40:40Come on, big man.
00:40:41My life against your life.
00:40:44You beat me, brother, you have never seen me again.
00:40:48If I beat you and Sturgis, brother, you're history.
00:40:56One more thing.
00:40:57One more thing.
00:40:58And Steiner, since you ain't got nothing to put on the line, you bring your ass to Sturgis and put it on the line.
00:41:05I mean, his brother's...
00:41:08I'll bet it, Big Sexy.
00:41:12If you three could shut up for a minute.
00:41:23I don't eat potatoes anyway, so I really don't care about Boise.
00:41:27Hogan, I'm wearing this decision.
00:41:35It's a simple one.
00:41:37You couldn't beat me with those two guys come Saturday.
00:41:41So, ladies and gentlemen, across the country, say goodbye to Hollywood Hogan, because Saturday night will be his last match.
00:41:55I'll put it on the line, big man.
00:41:57I'll put it all on the line.
00:42:00I've been wanting to drive a stake in your heart for three years, and guess what?
00:42:04Saturday, I'm going to do it.
00:42:07Well, you know something, Big Nash?
00:42:12Tonight, when we beat you, when we beat your team and your careers on the line, I'm going to keep the momentum going, brother.
00:42:21Because I got my two best friends watching my back, and it's going to be just you and me alone.
00:42:28Oh, this is going to be great.
00:42:31Within the next five days, history.
00:42:35He's going to be made.
00:42:36Hey, guys, you forgot one part of the equation.
00:42:41You wrestle us three tonight.
00:42:43The three, you'll never make it to Sturgis in the first place.
00:42:47That could happen.
00:42:51All parties have agreed.
00:42:53I'm going to knock the paint off your face here, scary man.
00:42:57Just for running your mouth tonight.
00:42:59Hogan, you're finished.
00:43:01Goldberg.
00:43:01Goldberg.
00:43:01Goldberg.
00:43:01Goldberg.
00:43:06We've got a six-man for later on tonight.
00:43:13We've got Hollywood Hogan.
00:43:15Well, wait a minute.
00:43:16We might have it now.
00:43:17We might have a six-man right now.
00:43:18Well, they walked halfway down the entryway, and now they're backing away.
00:43:33Now they're playing mind games.
00:43:34A six-man for later on tonight, and careers on the line.
00:43:39It's only on Nitro.
00:43:43We're back on WCW Monday Nitro Live.
00:43:47Boise, Idaho, in the Idaho Center, where fans are still standing, looking at each other in disbelief, talking about the stipulations, the agreements that were just made.
00:43:58We're going to have to go over them one more time for you.
00:44:01But before we do, here comes Chris Benoit, and a big chance for the Canadian Crippler, Chris Benoit.
00:44:11He didn't think he was going to wrestle in this program, but that all changed a few moments ago when Dusty Rhodes, the new head of the championship committee, made this matchup.
00:44:21Well, I'll tell you what, there are going to be a change, and there's going to be a big change.
00:44:26You guys are going to get the opportunity.
00:44:28Once you get it, you're going to have to prove yourself.
00:44:30That's all we can do now with the executive committee is get that opportunity.
00:44:33Once you get that opportunity, it's going to be laid on you.
00:44:36You know yourself, each and every one of you.
00:44:37There are young guys that are out here right now that I took a lot of great pains with.
00:44:42The youth of this business, the youth of this industry will overcome everything.
00:44:47You talk revolution, whatever it is, we're going to make this thing happen.
00:44:50But if you get there, and then you fall short, it ain't my fault.
00:44:54Shane, I know you know the Nature Boy Ric Flair.
00:44:57There's no love lost with me and the Nature Boy Ric Flair.
00:45:00I'm going to...
00:45:00Hey, champ. Hey, champ.
00:45:06What's that title fight?
00:45:08You got three days, pal.
00:45:09Let it go!
00:45:11Come on, Chris!
00:45:11Let it go!
00:45:12Let it go!
00:45:13Let it go!
00:45:13Let it go!
00:45:13Let it go!
00:45:14Let it go!
00:45:14Let it go!
00:45:15Let it go!
00:45:16Let it go!
00:45:17Let it go!
00:45:18Let it go!
00:45:19Let it go!
00:45:20Let it go!
00:45:20Let him up!
00:45:20Let him up!
00:45:21Let him up!
00:45:22Let him up!
00:45:22Let him up!
00:45:23Let him up!
00:45:23Let him up!
00:45:24Let him up!
00:45:25Let him up!
00:45:26Hey, I'll tell you.
00:45:27I'll tell you.
00:45:28You talk about calling me, old man.
00:45:29I'll tell you how we start this right now.
00:45:31You will defend the United States Heavyweight Title tonight against Chris Benoit right here
00:45:37on Nitro.
00:45:38That's the way.
00:45:38That's the way this old man starts it.
00:45:39Yes!
00:45:40Yes!
00:45:41So during the week, you know by now, Sting, who had won the company, the presidency from
00:45:46Ric Flair, recently on this program, meetings with WCW officials twice, once during the week,
00:45:52once this weekend, giving the leadership back to WCW itself.
00:45:58A new president will be named, I understand, very soon.
00:46:01But Dusty Rhodes right now, head of the championship committee, and has still made this match a reality.
00:46:10David Flair, Chris Benoit, for the United States Heavyweight Title.
00:46:14What a beautiful hat.
00:46:19Yes, yes it is.
00:46:24I like hats.
00:46:25You like hats?
00:46:26Tori is absolutely stunning.
00:46:28I don't think there is any...
00:46:30Look at the back of the hat.
00:46:32Wow.
00:46:33What a hat.
00:46:36Chris Benoit, obviously Tori is a distraction.
00:46:49And there you see Asia out as well.
00:46:56Charles Robinson.
00:47:00I guess the referee, or is he?
00:47:04I guess maybe not.
00:47:07An argument going on between Charles Robinson and Nick Patrick, longtime senior official at
00:47:13WCW.
00:47:14Remember David Flair said his father had set it up that Charles would be the referee in all my matches.
00:47:19But I guess now, with the new leadership, with Dusty Rhodes in charge of the championship committee,
00:47:24that's all changed around.
00:47:26Looks that way.
00:47:28A lot of new things are going to happen.
00:47:30This is going to be fun.
00:47:32What a hat.
00:47:36And as Charles Robinson leaves, the Crippler looks in the face of a man who was grossly outmatched.
00:47:53He ducks away from the right hand.
00:47:58That was a good move on his part.
00:48:01David Flair said, I'm not going in.
00:48:04Oh, you know what?
00:48:05I don't blame him.
00:48:06But look, as we see it here, if he stays out of the ring, it'll be a counter.
00:48:13But he can't lose the title.
00:48:14And he won't lose the title, you're right.
00:48:17And Benoit.
00:48:19We've got company.
00:48:20Oh, watch this.
00:48:22Malenko and Satter.
00:48:24Table for one.
00:48:25And Shane Douglas bringing David Flair back to the feet of Chris Benoit.
00:48:36Fans tonight, if Hogan, Sting, and Goldberg can defeat Steiner.
00:48:42Nash and Vicious.
00:48:44If Kevin Nash will put his career on the line on Saturday night and Road Wild as well.
00:48:51Hogan's already agreed to put his career in the title on the line.
00:48:55And listen to them, Tony.
00:48:56They are alive here in Boise.
00:48:59They're on their feet.
00:49:00They want to see David Flair get his tail kick.
00:49:03Let's see what happens.
00:49:05Exit stays right.
00:49:08David Flair looking.
00:49:17Nowhere to go.
00:49:19Surrounded.
00:49:20He has to go back in the ring.
00:49:24This has turned into kind of a liverjack match of sorts if you think about it, Ray.
00:49:28Whether you like it or not, no offense yet shown out of David Flair.
00:49:35Can Benoit do it?
00:49:37Can he get the gold that he so richly deserves?
00:49:40And in the process, can he bring respect and glory back to the US title?
00:49:46Can it happen here?
00:49:51A title that much the same way the company was has been tarnished by the Flair family.
00:49:58Now Benoit, a little bit of rage coming out here.
00:50:13And you know, it all stems back to Ric Flair.
00:50:16Benoit, Saturn, they all hate the guts of Ric Flair.
00:50:22That in the fact also, here's a pickup now, and a backbreaker by Benoit with authority.
00:50:33The fact that they're embarrassed and were embarrassed about what has happened to the United States title.
00:50:40But does Ric Flair, does David Flair, does Arnie Anderson, do they have another surprise up their sleeve in?
00:50:53You bet, always.
00:50:55It's very apparent, this is no match.
00:50:59That Benoit and Will can win this thing, but he's not yet.
00:51:05So hang on, Vince.
00:51:09Flair landed firmly on his feet that time.
00:51:12What a chop.
00:51:15A blow out a knee and then a chop, rotting down to the match.
00:51:19What a mighty pickup.
00:51:22The tripler.
00:51:24Yeah, look at the neck on this man.
00:51:26Look at the size of Benoit.
00:51:28What an athlete.
00:51:29That's Canyon coming back in.
00:51:31Canyon of the Tread.
00:51:32We've talked about it.
00:51:36Swap, but they're being held off.
00:51:38Two, and three, and three.
00:51:41We've got a U.S. Champion.
00:51:43We finally have a real U.S. Champion.
00:51:46Diamond Dallas is in the ring right now.
00:51:49With Benoit.
00:51:53H, with his belt, slapping Benoit.
00:51:58But it's a reality.
00:52:03Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Benoit has done it.
00:52:06There it is.
00:52:07He did it.
00:52:08His friends have held to try it off.
00:52:15One, two, three, two, three, four.
00:52:21Benoit, who has had some fundamental battles with Paige over the last week.
00:52:28As David Flair walks away and hopefully the last time that we'll see David Flair in a title
00:52:35situation until he can own his skills.
00:52:39Don't bet on it.
00:52:40Don't bet on it.
00:52:41Paige!
00:52:42You want this belt?
00:52:44Come and get it.
00:52:47No DQ.
00:52:49Sturgis, the Crippler, will two-time, two-time, two-time kick your ass.
00:53:00And he says it all.
00:53:05Paige says, all right.
00:53:13He's agreed to it.
00:53:15Each man has had a win over the last week against the other man.
00:53:19So the rubber match agreed to will be for the U.S. title this Saturday, Brain.
00:53:26At that top rope, Chief Benoit comes right down on David Flair for the one, two, three.
00:53:31And we've got ourselves a new United States champion right here.
00:53:35Right here.
00:53:36Diamond Dallas comes in a little bit late.
00:53:41They're going to go at it toe-to-toe.
00:53:44There's your champion, the Crippler, Chris Benoit.
00:53:47It'll be no disqualification at Road Wild this Saturday against Diamond Dallas Paige.
00:53:52And a new champion, the celebration starts for the Crippler, Chris Benoit.
00:53:58Coming back with the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
00:54:01All right, take a breath with us and welcome back to Monday Night Drug.
00:54:07What a night this has been.
00:54:09Let's take you back.
00:54:10It happened a few moments ago.
00:54:12Right before the commercial break, Chris Benoit becomes the U.S. champ.
00:54:17Bad things happened for David Flair, Brain, when WCW officials namely Dusty Rhodes
00:54:23make sure that Charles Robinson was not the referee.
00:54:26Well, Dusty Rhodes did it all.
00:54:27He made the match.
00:54:28And then he sent Nick Patrick in there, I guess, to get rid of Charles Robinson,
00:54:32who Ric Flair told to be there and referee all of David Flair's matches.
00:54:37I don't know what happened here.
00:54:39David Flair wanted to leave, but center, Malenko, Shane Douglas made sure that there would
00:54:45be a match.
00:54:46They stayed out.
00:54:47And as the triad came in, off of the top with the patented swan dive headbutt.
00:54:54You're looking at history in the making.
00:54:56Count it out with it.
00:54:57There's a three.
00:54:59Chris Benoit wins.
00:55:00DDP quickly came in, but could not fail the moment.
00:55:07And then Benoit said, hey, you and me, Paige, for the third time, the rubber match,
00:55:13known as well on vacation, U.S. title at Sturges this Saturday.
00:55:17Paige said yes, and we got it for you, added to that already phenomenal card this Saturday.
00:55:23And it keeps getting better, doesn't it?
00:55:25Oh, my.
00:55:26Made a reminder that next Monday, we're at Colorado Springs at the World Arena for Monday
00:55:32Nitro.
00:55:33Tickets to the box office in all Colorado neighborhood box office locations.
00:55:37And then on August 23rd, Monday night, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas at the Garden Arena,
00:55:44WCW Monday Nitro.
00:55:46Tickets to the box office in all Ticketmaster outlets.
00:55:49We're going to take you to mean Gene Okerlund.
00:56:14All right.
00:56:15Thank you very much, Tony Sivani, Bobby the Brain Heenan.
00:56:18We are in Boise, Idaho.
00:56:20And we have got a packed house here on the Treasure Valley.
00:56:27I must say the air is clean and about a thousand miles east of here is Sturgis, South Dakota.
00:56:35We're coming up this Saturday night.
00:56:38Road wild and a fantastic match involving my guest at this time.
00:56:44Please welcome, along with gorgeous George, the Macho Man, Randy Savvy.
00:56:53Oh, yeah.
00:56:56Let's not forget this past Thursday on Thunder, talking to Gene Okerlund, told us that he would
00:57:01discuss many things, one of which would be the driver of the Hummer, the mysterious driver
00:57:07of the Hummer who was never stinging the first place.
00:57:10We know that.
00:57:11He was also going to talk about a brand new Miss Madness, about a bodyguard for gorgeous
00:57:18George, about running for the presidency, and about the relationship between Sid Vicious
00:57:24and Kevin Nash, which if you think about it, it's been a very bizarre relationship in itself.
00:57:29Well, you know, you're 100% right about that.
00:57:33There's been nothing but bizarre relationship since I've been here at WCW.
00:57:38Nothing makes sense, but it works.
00:57:41It's interesting.
00:57:42The former world champion, one of the most influential, one of the most explosive and
00:57:48successful professional wrestlers ever to step inside of the squared circle.
00:57:54No doubt about that, the Macho Man has made history since he's been in this sport.
00:58:00He's held every championship, every title.
00:58:05He's beaten the best in this sport, and he continues to do it.
00:58:09And the longer he goes on, the madder this man gets.
00:58:13He's a hard man to beat.
00:58:15It's Saturday night, it's not for any title.
00:58:18It is for a chance to get at the Worm tennis run.
00:58:25I like that, Macho Man for president.
00:58:32Gorgeous George, intern.
00:58:34Macho Man, Randy Savage.
00:58:37A head-on collision five days from now at Road Wild.
00:58:47But excuse me, once again, my eye is deceiving me.
00:58:52Where's Gorgeous George?
00:58:53Gorgeous George is not here tonight.
00:58:56I understand, because everybody wants to feast their eyes on this raving beauty.
00:59:07Yeah.
00:59:08That's true.
00:59:09What is the president-elect?
00:59:14Because I will win the presidency, you know I will.
00:59:19Six days away in Sturgis, I will be getting rid of the scumbag known as Dennis Rodman.
00:59:30And then Gorgeous George will be back.
00:59:35All right, Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:59:39You had assured me on Thursday night, that tonight on this very television program,
00:59:44you would make your announcement, your surprise announcement,
00:59:47regarding your hit list.
00:59:49I think you had four subjects to cover.
00:59:52Kevin A.S.?
00:59:57Sid Vicious, who's been holding hands with Kevin Nash.
01:00:04Hollywood Hogan and Dennis Rodman together.
01:00:11Police.
01:00:14Those screams on this puppet are ready to kick ass.
01:00:22Oh, yeah.
01:00:24Dennis Rodman, you're really eccentric.
01:00:27Go look it up in the dictionary.
01:00:29But I am the best dude on the planet, and you don't want none of this.
01:00:36You put your hands on Gorgeous George, and now you will die.
01:00:45All right, I don't know if you're trying to be politically correct,
01:00:48but you are evading my question.
01:00:51What's your question?
01:00:53The surprise, I need to know what it is, Randy Savage.
01:00:56The surprise is that Dennis Rodman, who a lot of people know all around the world's
01:01:04reputation compared to the Macho Man Randy Savage, is absolutely crap.
01:01:11Oh, I'm sorry.
01:01:13That's a little strong.
01:01:15That will not be denied until Sturgis, South Dakota, when I think Dennis Rodman the Worm,
01:01:27lay him out in the middle of the ring and drop that big elbow on him.
01:01:29His story.
01:01:30And by the way, the Macho Man Randy Savage making the promise that after he defeats Dennis Rodman,
01:01:37Gorgeous George will return, and we would all love to see that.
01:01:42We got Nitro, Monday night, TNT in a packed house at the Idaho Center.
01:01:48We're going to be right back.
01:01:49We are going 110 miles an hour towards Sturgis, Goldberg, and DFG,
01:02:03the Dog Face Gremlin, Rick Steiner, will do battle.
01:02:05You're talking about a match that we want to see.
01:02:07That one.
01:02:08Goldberg and Rick Steiner.
01:02:09It's all a part of Road Wild.
01:02:11Sponsored by American Iron Horse Motorcycles this Saturday night.
01:02:16Goldberg and the two men cut from the same old brain, Goldberg and Rick Steiner.
01:02:23I can't imagine either man backing up an inch.
01:02:26Can you imagine what's going to happen when these two men collide this Saturday?
01:02:29It's going to be great.
01:02:30It's going to go at each other from the time that, before the bell rings.
01:02:33Watch.
01:02:34When they get in the ring and see each other.
01:02:37Wow, fans, you saw it when we go.
01:02:41Information concerning the WCW website, WCW.com.
01:02:45We'll let you know that you can click on WCW.com once you get there.
01:02:50Click on WCW gear and you can order WCW merchandise on a brand new merchandise website as well.
01:02:58All part of the hottest website in Pro Wrestling.
01:03:02That's WCW.com.
01:03:06Great Britain's David Taylor and Chris Adams out together.
01:03:10And our next bout in our tag team bout.
01:03:14We have added a match to the searches to Rogue Wilde.
01:03:18Diamond Dallas Page and the Crippler Chris Benoit.
01:03:22Page, it's a big week for him.
01:03:24Chance to win the US title on Saturday night.
01:03:27Sunday night on our sister network, TBS.
01:03:30The world premiere of the brand new movie First Daughter that he's starring in.
01:03:36That's 8 o'clock Eastern Time on TBS on Sunday night.
01:03:40And also Diamond Dallas Page had a nice write up on him and the USA Today.
01:03:44Talking about how he enjoys Hollywood and acting.
01:03:47But prefers the physical complications and the action and the reaction of the fans in the ring.
01:03:54When it comes to all these great events like tonight here in the Idaho Center.
01:03:57Well, that's the way he thinks.
01:03:59Personally, I'd rather have a Sun Man do all my work for me.
01:04:03And he likes to get in there.
01:04:05He's a competitor.
01:04:08Here we go.
01:04:09Boy, this is going to be a great one.
01:04:11The Cruiserweight Champion, Ray Mysterio Jr.
01:04:14And a man who's become a close ally of him over the past few weeks.
01:04:18Who's made a remarkable rebound from a horrible automobile wreck.
01:04:23Eddie Guerrero.
01:04:25Eddie is nothing short of sensational.
01:04:29Keeps himself in tip-top shape.
01:04:31Yes, he does.
01:04:32Probably better than before he was in the accident.
01:04:34He realizes now how much more conditioning means to him.
01:04:38That's what saved his life, the condition he was in.
01:04:44David Taylor and Chris Adams are two great veterans who have had a remarkable number of wins,
01:04:50both in tag team action and in singles competition together here.
01:04:54against the lightning-fest duo of Eddie Guerrero and Ray Mysterio Jr.
01:04:59Now, do not forget that anchoring this great program tonight,
01:05:04the trio, the unbelievable trio of Goldberg, Sting, and Hollywood Hogan
01:05:11And Hollywood Hogan will face Kevin Nash, Rick Steiner, and Sid Dishes in a six-man tag.
01:05:18But not just a six-man tag, fans.
01:05:20One with dire implications.
01:05:22Hogan's already agreed to put the title on the line, and now has agreed to put his career on the line at Sturges and Road Wild this Saturday.
01:05:30But now Kevin Nash has agreed that if Goldberg, Sting, and Hogan can win the six-man tonight,
01:05:36that he, Kevin Nash, will also put his career on the line as well at Sturges' Saturday night.
01:05:42Well, there's so much emotion here.
01:05:44I've seen that happen a long time, a lot of years that I've been in this sport.
01:05:48Guys make statements, they make challenges, and they realize,
01:05:51uh-oh, maybe I shouldn't have said this.
01:05:53Maybe I shouldn't have done that.
01:05:55Hogan made a big mistake putting his career on the line.
01:05:58So did Nash.
01:05:59I mean, only one man's gonna stay here at WCW.
01:06:02That's the way he looks to me.
01:06:04Eddie Guerrero and Ray Jr. showing Dave Taylor and Chris Adams what it's like to have the love and adoration of the fans.
01:06:17I like the outfit Ray Mysterio has on.
01:06:19It's kind of an orange jumpsuit.
01:06:21Well, that way, when you drive down the road, you know whether to stop or go,
01:06:24when the flag man waves it back and forth with the traffic.
01:06:27I don't think he wears that driving down the road.
01:06:29I think that's...
01:06:30Well, that's his job. He has a flag.
01:06:31It's a slow stop. Slow stop.
01:06:33Okay.
01:06:34Sometimes he has a stick with a nail and it picks the papers.
01:06:37It's like of a guy, Ray.
01:06:39Dave Taylor will try to slow any momentum or any quickness.
01:06:46Exhibited here by Eddie Guerrero.
01:06:48Three-quarter now some takeover.
01:06:50Ray hits it.
01:06:51And a joli.
01:06:52Exhibited here by Dave Taylor.
01:06:54And once again, and a drop kick.
01:06:57I don't think we've ever seen this man really show what he can do.
01:07:02Oh.
01:07:03Dave Taylor has been very successful.
01:07:07I think he's shown the world what he can do.
01:07:09I think he needs more time.
01:07:10Eddie.
01:07:11Amazing hand time.
01:07:12In midair.
01:07:13Eddie Guerrero with that spectacular move.
01:07:15And Dave Taylor brings in Chris Adams.
01:07:28Known throughout his career as gentleman Chris Adams.
01:07:32Adams who has a judo background as well as a wrestling background has made the tag in and the fans want the cruiserweight champ to get the tag in.
01:07:45He looks.
01:07:50The one man I think you would agree.
01:07:52And this is not overlooking the great cruiserweights in that division.
01:07:56But the man who has taken the cruiserweight title to the forefront in pro wrestling, Rey Mysterio.
01:08:02The remarkable things that he can do.
01:08:05Revolutionizing.
01:08:06Not only tag team but obviously singles competition in the cruiserweight division.
01:08:12And I really think when you see Rey perform I think a lot of time he improvise almost in midair.
01:08:20You never know what he's going to do.
01:08:22And I think sometimes he just lets the moment take over.
01:08:25And goes from there.
01:08:28Oh.
01:08:29Chris Adams.
01:08:30Great anticipation that time.
01:08:32Caught him.
01:08:33Slammed him down.
01:08:34But couldn't keep him down.
01:08:35Only got him out for two.
01:08:37You know you're right about that.
01:08:38Being color commentator here.
01:08:39There's times during his matches I want to call things.
01:08:42But in the air he's changed things.
01:08:44There's things I see him do that I knew he was going to drop kick a guy.
01:08:47Or head scissors his opponent.
01:08:48But no.
01:08:49He like you said Tony.
01:08:50He changes it midair.
01:08:51He always has a great game plan.
01:08:53As Adams stumbled and missed that time.
01:08:56But I think there's a lot of Rey that is ad-libbed.
01:08:59And there's a moonsault.
01:09:01The assigned moonsault for the middle of the rope.
01:09:05Well like I've always said.
01:09:06Anticipation is better than preparation.
01:09:08You got to be prepared there.
01:09:11Yeah you can only prepare yourself for.
01:09:15Oh my goodness.
01:09:16How can you prepare yourself for the patented super kick from Chris Adams.
01:09:21Leave your teeth in the room and a jar of water.
01:09:23That will dislocate a jaw.
01:09:26Here's Cover.
01:09:27No Eddie made the save.
01:09:29Eddie.
01:09:30That time that crossed up trying to slide between the legs.
01:09:35Like Mysterio got one really in the jaw.
01:09:37Sure did.
01:09:38He's gonna be eating Minuto with a straw.
01:09:41Oh!
01:09:42When Rey tried to go between the legs and really stumbled.
01:09:46That got him off course.
01:09:48Meanwhile the pull of the Union Jack in the throat.
01:09:52The side of the head of Rey Jr.
01:09:55I think he's just trying to find a place to plant the track.
01:09:58Well the one downfall.
01:10:00It is very obvious.
01:10:01But it's not much of one.
01:10:03Has been that.
01:10:04Rey is obviously the smallest man out there.
01:10:08But he's been able to make up for it.
01:10:10With determination.
01:10:11With heart.
01:10:12With ability.
01:10:13Athletic ability.
01:10:14It goes hard into the middle turnbuckle.
01:10:21The catapult.
01:10:22That time top turnbuckle.
01:10:24Good moves there by good old Chris Adams.
01:10:27And David Taylor back in every exchange fans.
01:10:31Chad Brock.
01:10:32Rising country music star.
01:10:35Well the farm is brand new hit.
01:10:38Number 24 on the charts right now.
01:10:40A little bit later on here.
01:10:41Live on TNT.
01:10:42Don't forget that one.
01:10:43As Dave Taylor with his patented European uppercuts.
01:10:48Uprights Rey Jr.
01:10:50Rey Jr.
01:10:51How about that?
01:10:52Love him Chris Adams.
01:10:53Again.
01:10:54Thanks to Dave Taylor.
01:10:56Tumbles through.
01:10:57Eddie Guerrero.
01:10:58Is in.
01:11:03He didn't think it moves.
01:11:05Oh he is just lightning quick.
01:11:08Back elbow.
01:11:09Race up.
01:11:10Oh.
01:11:11Had a long way to go.
01:11:14But he got there.
01:11:15You're not kidding.
01:11:16He got there.
01:11:17And now Eddie.
01:11:18Elevates him.
01:11:19To a drop kick.
01:11:20And.
01:11:21Taylor is out on the floor.
01:11:22That's incredible.
01:11:23That's unbelievable.
01:11:24Look at him working as a team.
01:11:28Ray.
01:11:29Little Bronco Buster action.
01:11:30As Eddie dives to the ropes.
01:11:31Down on the Dave Taylor.
01:11:32Right now.
01:11:33Ray Jr.
01:11:34And Eddie Guerrero are dominating this tag team match.
01:11:37The fans want to see it.
01:11:38And they got it.
01:11:39Top rope.
01:11:40Frankensteiner.
01:11:41Eddie.
01:11:42Frog splash.
01:11:43Count that man out.
01:11:44He's got him.
01:11:45Hold on.
01:11:46The Clones are out with their bow.
01:11:47The ICP and Vampiro out.
01:11:48And immediately countering the back of the hand of Eddie Guerrero and Ray Jr.
01:11:54They did not expect this.
01:11:55They were blindsided.
01:11:56Billy Kidman has come in.
01:11:57Billy Kidman.
01:11:58He should mind his own business.
01:11:59He's gonna get hurt.
01:12:00But he's trying to help out.
01:12:01Guerrero.
01:12:02Get hurt.
01:12:03paw.
01:12:04Eddie.
01:12:05He's stole it.
01:12:06And he's trying to help out.
01:12:07Eddie.
01:12:08He's trying to help.
01:12:09Go out.
01:12:10Eddie.
01:12:11Eddie.
01:12:12Eddie.
01:12:13Eddie.
01:12:14Eddie.
01:12:15Eddie.
01:12:16Eddie.
01:12:17Ironman.
01:12:18Eddie, Eddie.
01:12:19Rocksplash.
01:12:20Oh!
01:12:21Count that man out!
01:12:22He's got him!
01:12:23Guerrero and Ray Jr., and he's doing just that.
01:12:30Taking care of that hero, and now the ICP.
01:12:38To the help of Eddie and Ray comes Billy Kidman.
01:12:45Look at that ring, Ray.
01:12:47That's loaded with wrestling talent right there.
01:12:49That's why WCW Monday Night Live stands alone.
01:12:54We're coming back.
01:12:56More.
