00:00:00World Championship Wrestling and TNT present WCW Monday Nitro.
00:00:08Ladies and gentlemen, we're live from the Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, New York tonight.
00:00:14This is our number one for three solid hours of World Championship Wrestling.
00:00:20Joni Schiavone is always ringside with the one and only Bobby the Brain Heenan.
00:00:24And we're starting out Brain with tag team action.
00:00:26Off and running live tonight, disorderly conduct against the Brits, Stephen Regal and David Taylor.
00:00:32Well, you're right about that. Two great teams. I got to go along with the Brits.
00:00:35They've been together a lot longer, I think. I don't know much about disorderly conduct,
00:00:39but this team of Regal and Dave Taylor just astound me sometimes, the moves they do.
00:00:44Needless to say, ladies and gentlemen, as you take a look at Mean Mike and Tough Tom, disorderly conduct.
00:00:51That's Mean Mike in there right now.
00:00:53Needless to say, we have all the stars of World Championship Wrestling with us during the next three hours,
00:00:59including our scheduled feature bout here tonight.
00:01:01Oh, Goldberg and Diamond Dallas Page to hook it up to go at it one-on-one here tonight.
00:01:08Plus, we're going to hear from Hulk Hogan, the heavyweight champion of the world.
00:01:13And ladies and gentlemen, you've heard the build-up, the talk about the first appearance of this German sensation Berlin.
00:01:22And Berlin is going to make his appearance, first appearance in WCW here tonight.
00:01:27He's not arrived as of yet, but the cameras are stationed in the back.
00:01:31Limousines have been coming in and out all day.
00:01:34Here's a cover by Dave Taylor and only a two-count that time.
00:01:38I mean, we certainly anticipate the arrival of Berlin at any moment here.
00:01:42Well, you know, your first appearance is your most important.
00:01:45Well, somebody's making an appearance because the fans erupt as disorderly conduct.
00:01:51You can look at their heads.
00:01:53You can see how the crowd turns.
00:01:54Something's going on.
00:01:55And that's something.
00:01:56It's Sid.
00:01:57Sid Vicious.
00:01:59Living up to his name.
00:02:01Being more vicious than ever.
00:02:03As a matter of fact, he's attacking all four men here, Brain.
00:02:06He doesn't care.
00:02:08He may go after the referee.
00:02:09He may go into the fans.
00:02:11Who knows?
00:02:11This man says it all.
00:02:13He is vicious.
00:02:14He is Sid Vicious.
00:02:16You see Charles Robinson in the sign, the record for the Millennium, 73-0.
00:02:23Sid Vicious has been keeping his own count.
00:02:26A count that obviously we have to go with.
00:02:28A pickup.
00:02:30And a massive powerbomb by Sid Vicious.
00:02:33Look at the size of this man, Tony.
00:02:35He is huge.
00:02:37Get out!
00:02:38And he doesn't care.
00:02:40It's pretty hard to beat a guy who doesn't care.
00:02:41Yeah.
00:02:42If you don't care, if you're huge, and you're this talented in the ring,
00:02:46it spells trouble for any wrestler in WCW.
00:02:50As we head to the year 2000, here's the man on the forefront.
00:02:54I count 75-0.
00:02:57That's what the count goes up to.
00:02:59You're right from Charles Robinson.
00:03:00What's he going to do now?
00:03:06Anything he wants to do, Brain.
00:03:08Well, I'm out of here.
00:03:09He makes a way towards us.
00:03:10As I sit here with my good friend, who keeps the tally, and the tally goes higher and higher.
00:03:24And it seems that there's just no end.
00:03:30There's no end.
00:03:32There's no end.
00:03:35There's no end.
00:03:37He means business.
00:03:43So now, I will have to pick it up a little bit.
00:03:49Bring the intensity to me.
00:03:53Bring the number higher and higher.
00:03:56To prove, without a doubt, that I am the Millennium Man, and I have no equal.
00:04:13Because the game we play is real easy.
00:04:19Two men hit the earth, and only one man survives.
00:04:25And you can ring out Goldberg, till your eyes pop out of your head.
00:04:40Go ahead.
00:04:47And listen to the fans, would you?
00:04:50You're going to push me to do something I don't want to.
00:04:54Shut up.
00:04:58Shut up.
00:05:00All right.
00:05:03What's he going to do now?
00:05:06Something bad.
00:05:07He's claiming here, Brain.
00:05:08The fans are pushing him to this.
00:05:11But in reality, I think he wants to do it again anyway.
00:05:14And there's not much more of a powerbomb they can take.
00:05:18You're not going to stop this man.
00:05:19I don't know who can stop this man.
00:05:21As we will, Charles.
00:05:23We will stick together, and we'll keep rolling, and I will keep marching to I'm on top of the world.
00:05:33Yeah.
00:05:38To I'm on top of the world.
00:05:44He means business.
00:05:47We have come to the end.
00:05:50In the year 2000, they will only sing one name.
00:05:56And that name will be seditious.
00:06:01We are coming to the end of the summer of 1999, into the fall, into the wintertime, and into the turn of the century.
00:06:18Is this the Millennium Man as he proclaims?
00:06:21Sid, enough, said.
00:06:25Remember that.
00:06:27Sid, enough, said.
00:06:31Sid, enough, said.
00:06:33Sid, enough, said.
00:06:34Sid, enough, said.
00:06:35Sid, enough, said.
00:06:35I would think as far as disorderly coming up.
00:06:37Shut up.
00:06:38Steven Riegel.
00:06:39Shut up.
00:06:40You're going to force me.
00:06:42Uh-oh.
00:06:43Not again.
00:06:44Charles, one more.
00:06:46Not again.
00:06:47They did it.
00:06:48He told them not to.
00:06:51Another.
00:06:53Powerbomb.
00:06:54Boy, he does have his way with you.
00:07:00Sid, this is completely dominating the ring area as he's gone for the pins.
00:07:07I have no equal.
00:07:08Too much.
00:07:09Well, I am.
00:07:11Well, let's take a look.
00:07:12We talked about limousines arriving all day earlier on.
00:07:16Hey, what's the threads?
00:07:30What do you mean you don't have Lodi and Lenny?
00:07:31We got the Cruiserweight belt.
00:07:33Jam.
00:07:33Come on.
00:07:33Look at this.
00:07:35Wow.
00:07:35Cruiserweight champion.
00:07:37Lodi and Lenny.
00:07:38It's right here.
00:07:39Watch the $100 cruiser.
00:07:40This is the field.
00:07:42Woo.
00:07:43Hey, come on.
00:07:46Look, it's right here.
00:07:47Let us in.
00:07:47I know we're in a cab.
00:07:49Incompetent, illiterate security.
00:07:51Hey, you're all right.
00:07:51Look at this side, Lodi.
00:07:53It's almost sweaty.
00:07:54You an idiot.
00:07:55Let the man go.
00:07:56WCW is in the cab anyways.
00:07:58Lodi.
00:07:59Lodi, Lodi.
00:07:59Lodi, Lodi.
00:08:02Hey.
00:08:03Woo.
00:08:04Hey.
00:08:04Hey.
00:08:06Goldberg, you trying to chase me around the back like you really wanted me?
00:08:12I don't think so.
00:08:14Get out of here right now.
00:08:16And Diamond Dallas Page will kick your teeth in.
00:08:26Goldberg completely obliterated the triad.
00:08:29That's sweet.
00:08:30You're mine, Page.
00:08:32Eric, ever since Sting turned control of WCW back to the organization, there's been speculation
00:08:38about who would become president.
00:08:39The latest name that I've heard is yours.
00:08:41Can you confirm or deny?
00:08:42I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't know who you're talking to, but keep
00:08:46up the good work.
00:08:47For every time Sid Vicious enter this ring, he will have another win.
00:08:54Because of the year 2000, only I will stand here anymore.
00:09:02Tonight is all about the truth.
00:09:05But I got a bad feeling.
00:09:07I gave the Stinger my word.
00:09:09I will not stab you in the back.
00:09:11I think the whole thing has a foul stench to it.
00:09:15Stinger's my friend.
00:09:16Be careful of this guy.
00:09:17I don't trust him.
00:09:18He's going for all the marbles right now.
00:09:21Here comes a Stinger splash.
00:09:23He moves.
00:09:24Who's in the ring?
00:09:25Sid Vicious and Rick Steiner.
00:09:27Goldberg is here.
00:09:29These two guys watch our back.
00:09:31We'll do it one more time.
00:09:32How about it?
00:09:57The action already has taken place actually in the ring, and now we go back to the ring
00:10:21once again to bring in the beautiful Nitro Girls.
00:10:25And, Brayne, how about Sid Vicious with that sign at 75-0.
00:10:30Now, if you'll recall, I know you know this, Brayne, and wrestling fans will recall that
00:10:35when Goldberg went to 75-0, he won the U.S. title from Raven.
00:10:40That was the milestone for Goldberg at 75-0.
00:10:44And now Vicious here on this 30th day of August 1999 is now 75-0 as well.
00:10:51You know, to watch the man, to watch him come into the ring and do what he does, you got
00:10:58to take your hat off and say, this is one tough customer.
00:11:01He can go probably 5,000-0.
00:11:03Who's going to stop him?
00:11:05Who can stand in the way of the man who is unstoppable?
00:11:09Sid Vicious.
00:11:10This is Uniondale, New York, the Nassau Connoisseum, the home tonight of WCW Monday Nitro, our very
00:11:17last Monday in the month of August here in 1999.
00:11:22A lot of things are going on tonight.
00:11:24A lot of things have happened over the last couple of weeks here in WCW.
00:11:29But tonight, we've got it for you.
00:11:31As promised, one-on-one, it's going to be Goldberg against Diamond Dallas Page.
00:11:36Speaking of Goldberg, remember a week ago, Page wanted no part of Goldberg.
00:11:41You remember that?
00:11:42Kind of.
00:11:43Yeah, you should have.
00:11:44But Goldberg came in, clean house.
00:11:46Page took the low road and ran right away.
00:11:48Well, like Page says, Goldberg wants no part of me.
00:11:51I don't think that way.
00:11:53Goldberg wants what he can have.
00:11:54And he will take what he wants, no matter who's in that ring.
00:11:58Believe me, he is the man.
00:12:00Also, we're going to hear from this man.
00:12:03He is the total package Lex Luger.
00:12:04And let's go to Gene Oakland right now.
00:12:06All right, one more time, ladies and gentlemen, the total package Lex Luger.
00:12:17Remember, he came out.
00:12:18It was a shock that Luger came out.
00:12:21We had seen Luger for a while.
00:12:23Nursing and injury mean Gene waits on him in the ring.
00:12:26But brain nursing that injury came out.
00:12:29And I really think, personally, at a very inopportune time to warn Sting that, hey, that Hogan is not the man you think he is.
00:12:37Well, you never know what's behind Hogan's plans.
00:12:39What goes on in that man's mind?
00:12:41I don't think he's the man we think he is.
00:12:43But only time will tell.
00:12:48That's not the racket, Roger Clemens.
00:12:50That's the total package.
00:12:51The one and only total package Lex Luger.
00:12:54Be interesting to see exactly what he says here this week.
00:12:57Because, remember, at the end of the program last week, it was Goldberg and then Luger came out at the end of the Hogan Sting match.
00:13:07And there seemed to be some sort of meeting of the minds, some sort of agreement made.
00:13:14And we'll find out in a mere second exactly what that all about here this week, Gene Hogan.
00:13:20Let me tell you what it's all about.
00:13:22Coming up at Ball Brawl, as you know, Lex Luger, your 13-year friend Sting is going to be meeting Hulk Hogan.
00:13:31Now, I understand that you have information that says the red and yellow is not quite exactly the way most of us see it.
00:13:41What's your information?
00:13:42Gene, in my 13 years of my friendship with Sting, and in this great sport, I've been in world title matches, U.S. title matches.
00:13:54I've been through a lot, but this may be the most important night for myself, for the fans in this building, everyone there at home, and especially my friend Sting.
00:14:06Because Sting and all you fans out there, we've seen that for a decade, right here, in this very confines of buildings just like this,
00:14:16the red and yellow is built upon a foundation of say your prayers, take your vitamins.
00:14:20It stood for good. It stood for everything that was right.
00:14:25And you know what? He's proven in the last three years that it was nothing but a total, absolute sham.
00:14:33And now we're all supposed to sit in this building, and I know this isn't popular right now, but I gotta get this off my chest,
00:14:40because tonight is the night, because I do not say hollow words, Gene.
00:14:45I have with me tonight, on the way to the building, which I will produce for Sting, everyone in this building, and everyone at home,
00:14:54irrefutable events of what a con man, of what a sham, of what a black-hearted, no-good scammer
00:15:02that Hulkamania and Hulk Hogan really is.
00:15:08Now, I'm not coming out here to say the most popular thing, so you all can go ahead and boo.
00:15:12Wait a minute. Let's just stop the music here for a second.
00:15:15Lex Luger, you say you have irrefutable evidence that Hulk Hogan is not the way he appears to be.
00:15:23Concrete, irrefutable evidence that's on its way to the building, that I will produce for each and every one of you later on,
00:15:30and that's all I'm gonna say, Gene.
00:15:31All right, now, is it pictures? Is it tangible? What?
00:15:34You'll see later.
00:15:35All right, well, Tony, that sets up a very strange set of circumstances.
00:15:40What is the proof this man has that Hulk Hogan may not be what he appears to be?
00:15:46Back to you.
00:15:47Gene, thanks a lot. That's pretty heavy stuff right there, Bobby Heenan.
00:15:50He says he has irrefutable evidence that Hulk Hogan is not who he says he is.
00:15:55That's pretty deep.
00:15:57Well, you know, listening to Luger, he didn't sound like he would just come out here shooting off his mouth.
00:16:00He sounds like he knows something, like it's a gut feeling.
00:16:03It's something he has proof of.
00:16:05This is gonna be very interesting.
00:16:06Like Orkerlin said, are you gonna see pictures?
00:16:08He says, you'll wait. You'll see.
00:16:10Don't touch that clicker. We're gonna find out.
00:16:13That evidence could be forthcoming, and I'm sure it will be, within this program, about the claims made by one total package.
00:16:20Lex Luger heading to Fall Brawl on the 12th of September in Winston-Salem on pay-per-view,
00:16:26where Hogan and Sting will have their return match, and that sheds a very dim light on that return match.
00:16:31Wait a minute.
00:16:31Hold on.
00:16:32I understand now that Berlin has arrived to the arena.
00:16:36Is that true?
00:16:37Let's go with our cameras out back like we talked about and see if we can.
00:16:41Here he is.
00:16:42Here's the black limousine right there, Brain.
00:16:47Boy, look at the black limousine on either side.
00:16:50It looks like bodyguards there.
00:16:51Boy, you know, there's been a lot of hype about this guy,
00:16:53and I think tonight we might get to see some of the hype materialize in action.
00:16:58You never know here on Nitro.
00:16:59That's not just a limousine.
00:17:01That's a Mercedes.
00:17:03That's the pride of Germany, their automobile, and that's his security.
00:17:10There he is.
00:17:12There's Berlannick.
00:17:14I believe the woman traveling with him is his interpreter, Uta Ludendorff.
00:17:19And, you know, we know he speaks English, but for some reason, he refused to do so.
00:17:25What about that?
00:17:26Can you blame him?
00:17:29Berlannick is in the building.
00:17:32What an entourage as well.
00:17:35And I'm sure we're going to be hearing from him later on tonight in this program.
00:17:39But I tell you, in the back of our mind, what does Lex Luthor have?
00:17:44What evidence does Luthor have?
00:17:48Stay with us, fans.
00:17:49This is Monday Nitro, where anything and everything unpredictable does happen in our sport.
00:17:56You know, it doesn't sound to me like Luthor's shooting off his mouth.
00:17:58It sounds to me like he knows something.
00:18:00No, he's very serious.
00:18:02I mean, you can just tell the demeanor, the look of Lex Luthor, that he's very serious about all of this.
00:18:08But from what we've seen, and, you know, Brain, you've got to call it on the surface.
00:18:13Hulk Hogan back in the red and the yellow.
00:18:17Back as popular as ever before.
00:18:20The world of heavyweight champion.
00:18:21It's been sensational to be a part of all this, to see Hogan back as Hulk Hogan.
00:18:27Well, you know, you're right about that.
00:18:30And everybody feels that way.
00:18:31I've seen it over the years, how this man just generates people.
00:18:35I mean, it's the energy when he gets into the ring, when he walks down that aisle.
00:18:39There's nobody like him.
00:18:41I can't stand him.
00:18:42But regardless of that, there's nobody like Hulk Hogan.
00:18:46Unbelievable.
00:18:47God, I love my son.
00:18:48Max LaRue, the fine bruiserweight from Louisiana, is in the ring.
00:18:52It's Scotty Riggs, one of the World Tag Team Champs, coming out here.
00:18:56On his own, very proud of his reflection in his own personal mirror.
00:19:04Comes on out here for the next match here.
00:19:06This is Monday Nitro.
00:19:07We're live tonight, three hours, only on TNT, from the Nassau Coliseum,
00:19:13the Uniondale, Long Island, New York.
00:19:15Great reception.
00:19:17A very large crowd here tonight.
00:19:20A line trying to get in.
00:19:22Capacity on hand for WCW Monday Nitro.
00:19:26We're going to hear, I'm sure, Hogan, later on tonight in this telecast,
00:19:31will respond to the allegations made by Lex Luger again defend himself.
00:19:37Well, this is going to be a great three hours.
00:19:40Everybody's here.
00:19:41That's important.
00:19:41Everybody here that has to be is here.
00:19:44It's going to be great.
00:19:44What an appearance.
00:19:46Very rarely do stars in our sport get a debut like the Demon got last week.
00:19:54Kits coming out, singing their song, God of Thunder.
00:19:59It's always been Gene Simmons' own song, and now God of Thunder.
00:20:03I thought he wrote that for Thursday night.
00:20:05God of Thunder will bring in the Demon wherever he comes, all around the world,
00:20:12all the venues, all the events, all the television tapings.
00:20:15What a massive man.
00:20:17And we'll be seeing him tonight here as well.
00:20:20Well, that was something the other night in Vegas, wasn't it, when KISS came on stage?
00:20:23That was quite a nitro moment, I would think.
00:20:27And I'm saying that obviously being a KISS fan myself, but it certainly was.
00:20:31Even if you're not a KISS fan or maybe not a fan of rock and roll,
00:20:36you had to appreciate the debut the Demon made.
00:20:40We're expecting great things from that man.
00:20:43What an entrance.
00:20:44Here's a cover.
00:20:45One, two, and a two count.
00:20:47Speaking of entrances, we're going to have an entrance by Goldberg later on tonight
00:20:51is Goldberg, and Diamond Dallas Page will go at it here
00:20:55in our feature bout tonight on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:20:59Page has made no bones about it.
00:21:01Page, you know, is fancying himself recently
00:21:04with saying some very unkind things about people, people's moms,
00:21:09and it doesn't take much for Goldberg to get fired up.
00:21:12And Goldberg and Diamond Dallas Page will go at it later on here tonight on Nitro.
00:21:17Well, Goldberg's always fired up.
00:21:18He's always ready.
00:21:19He'll fight at the drop of a hat, and we're going to see it tonight.
00:21:24Snap bear here by Scotty Riggs.
00:21:26Riggs is driving the fist out of the face of Lash LaRue.
00:21:29I like this Lash LaRue.
00:21:31Lash LaRue's a fine young wrestler.
00:21:32I don't think there's any question.
00:21:34And he needs a lot more matches under his belt to be successful in WCW.
00:21:40In a short period of time, I don't think there's any question.
00:21:43He is within the top 15 cruiserweights in the world,
00:21:46but he needs to try to move on up the ladder in against a great heavyweight in his own right.
00:21:50In Riggs, who tips that scale a little bit, could either go either way, featureweight or heavyweight.
00:21:55Trying to such that, well, nice move that time.
00:21:58And LaRue got a two count.
00:22:00Boy, it'd be a big win.
00:22:01Big win for Lash LaRue to win over Scotty Riggs here on Nitro Brain.
00:22:05What I like about Scotty Riggs, he's changed his attitude.
00:22:08He's more confident in himself.
00:22:10He needed that.
00:22:11He needed to get away from tag team wrestling.
00:22:14He needs to be on his own.
00:22:15Something's happened, Tony.
00:22:17Fans are rough once again.
00:22:18I don't want to speak too soon.
00:22:21We haven't seen him yet.
00:22:22Oh, I thought, well, no, it's not Sid Vicious.
00:22:25It's Vampiro in the ICP, the Insane Cloud Pussy.
00:22:30What are they out here for?
00:22:31Who knows?
00:22:32Stay away from us.
00:22:35Back down the hatches, fans.
00:22:38And look at Riggs looking on both sides.
00:22:42There's Vampiro.
00:22:44There's a strange man.
00:22:46What is he saying?
00:22:46But he's a tough man, a real tough man.
00:22:51A big, big star.
00:22:53He pointed to Riggs.
00:22:54I think he said, you owe me.
00:22:56Now, I don't know what that's about.
00:23:00He may owe him for a loss because Riggs was in charge.
00:23:04Vampiro comes out, and now suddenly Lash LaRue with an advantage.
00:23:07Two, and he almost won it.
00:23:09Look at Vampiro.
00:23:09Looks like he's ready to get in there.
00:23:13Into the ropes.
00:23:15Riggs.
00:23:16Foot into the chest.
00:23:19It drops down on the back of the neck, and now Vampiro does come in.
00:23:22But he doesn't attack.
00:23:24There's a cover.
00:23:26Just watching.
00:23:28Got himself a good seat.
00:23:29Ladies and gentlemen, true winner, Scotty Briggs!
00:23:33I have no explanation for this at all.
00:23:38But he's not taking his eye off him.
00:23:39Listen to me.
00:23:51What do you owe me?
00:23:52You owe me.
00:23:53I owe you?
00:23:54Yeah, you owe me.
00:23:54What do I owe you for?
00:23:55You owe me.
00:23:56That's what he said.
00:23:56You owe me.
00:23:57What's that guy?
00:23:58I don't owe you nothing.
00:23:59Just two people.
00:24:00You owe me.
00:24:02Obviously, Riggs doesn't remember what he owes him.
00:24:05I didn't know what it was about.
00:24:06And obviously, as you said, Brain, Riggs has no idea what this owing him is about.
00:24:11Closed captioning, where available, sponsored by Meineke.
00:24:23You're back on Monday Nitro.
00:24:25It's great to have you with us.
00:24:27Tonight, we are going to hear from Hulk Hogan.
00:24:30I'm sure to answer the allegations once again brought up by Lex Luger.
00:24:34We are going to see the appearance of the demon, the new WCW star, introduced last week by the one and only Rock Group Kiss.
00:24:47And we're going to have Goldberg and Diamond down the stage one-on-one.
00:24:52But coming out now, four men who have made quite an aim for themselves, stirred the pot, so to speak, brain over the last few weeks.
00:24:59Now with their own T-shirts and everything, the revolution coming out here.
00:25:04And everybody's talking about them.
00:25:05Everybody in the back is talking about the revolution, what they mean to professional wrestling, and how they're going to change the course of it all.
00:25:13Well, they're a powerful group of guys, so you better watch out.
00:25:16It's going to be fun.
00:25:17New York!
00:25:23Are you ready for a revolution?
00:25:27We got a question for you.
00:25:35Do you agree with Benoit, Malenko, Saturn, and the franchise that it's time for a change here in WCW?
00:25:48Let me hear you, New York.
00:25:54Let me hear you, New York.
00:25:56Do you agree with me?
00:25:59Benoit is the real deal.
00:26:01Benoit!
00:26:02Malenko is the real deal.
00:26:07Benoit!
00:26:08Perry Saturn is the real deal.
00:26:14The franchise is the real deal.
00:26:22Rick Steiner, for over a decade, these people have been watching you win.
00:26:34Well, I say it's about time they start watching you lose.
00:26:39So what about foul, foul brawl?
00:26:42Put the TV title on the line, huh?
00:26:46Come on, give a kid a shot at the title, champ.
00:26:49If there is anyone, and I mean anyone out there, that thinks that the road to the U.S. heavyweight title is an easy road,
00:27:03step forward and let yourself be known.
00:27:08Because it's all about experience.
00:27:11And the voice of experience, nothing speaks as loud as the voice of experience.
00:27:18When it comes to experience, the revolution is one that you may not want to hear from.
00:27:25Hey, New York, the revolution is not gonna stop till we get or just do.
00:27:34And the four of us collectively agree on one thing.
00:27:40Get out with the evolution, in with the revolution.
00:27:49Farman, who can also back it up in the ring.
00:27:52And how about the challenge, foul brawl?
00:27:54Hall, Hall, Hall.
00:27:55Satterd wants Rick Steiner, and he wants a shot at the television title, Brain.
00:27:58Revolution may be the solution for a lot of things they're thinking about.
00:28:03They're a strong group of guys, they're professionals, they've been around, they know what to do.
00:28:08And they watch each other's back.
00:28:10And if anything we've learned over the past couple of years, that is so important in this sport, to watch each other's back.
00:28:17The fans, beginning this coming Sunday, the 5th of September, down in Miami, Monday Nitro and TNT will launch an 8-day promotional event.
00:28:25A very exciting one, the search for the new Nitro girl.
00:28:28The event will feature a search to find the best professional dancers and fitness experts in the upcoming WCW Monday Nitro cities.
00:28:35We sit in Miami this coming weekend, Chapel Hill, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Kent City, Biloxi, Mississippi, Philadelphia and Phoenix.
00:28:42Each city audition will be held to choose two summer finalists to compete on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:28:48And the final winner will be announced during the live Monday Nitro on Monday, November 8th in Indianapolis.
00:28:54The winner will get $10,000.
00:28:57How about that of a grand prize, an invitation to become the newest Nitro girl?
00:29:02You know, I might come back to managing.
00:29:03I don't blame you.
00:29:05For 10 G's.
00:29:05The search is on for the brand new WCW Monday Nitro girl.
00:29:11And it all starts this coming Sunday, a day before next Monday's Monday Nitro event, which will be in Miami in the arena.
00:29:20That is Monday, September 6th on Labor Day.
00:29:22Tickets are still available, by the way, in the arena box office in all Ticketmaster locations.
00:29:27We talked about the Nitro girl, the search, the tour continuing.
00:29:31On Monday, September 13th, Monday Nitro comes to the Smith Center in Chapel Hill.
00:29:36Tickets available at the box office in all Ticketmaster outlets.
00:29:39We're on campus at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for that one.
00:29:43And then on Monday, September 20th, don't forget, the First Star Center in Cincinnati.
00:29:47It's Monday Nitro.
00:29:49Tickets available at the box office in all Ticketmaster outlets.
00:29:52Big, big month of September for the search for the Nitro girl and for great wrestling live each and every Monday here on Nitro.
00:29:59It's going to be a great fall, great winter.
00:30:01Things are just going to start smoking up.
00:30:03Kass Hayashi, we talked earlier about great cruiserweights.
00:30:11Well, here's one international star who certainly has made a name for himself in this country.
00:30:19He backs down from no one.
00:30:21We've seen Kass Hayashi go up rain against many big, big men, heavyweights, and not back down.
00:30:28And there is the WCW Cruiserweight Champion who will not wrestle in this match, but his brother, Loni Williams.
00:30:37Loni and Loni are in town.
00:30:38Somebody's going down.
00:30:39Loni and Loni together, this brother combination, I really think shocked the wrestling world when Loni brought home the gold recently on Thunder.
00:30:48Well, they're capable, they're great athletes, so you can never count them out.
00:30:53It could happen any time.
00:30:56He has decorated the belt now.
00:30:59Notice that, Loni?
00:31:01I know, boy, that's, it didn't take much thought to decorate that belt.
00:31:05Well, it's a nice touch.
00:31:06With that, uh, tassels on either side, or are they pom-poms on either side?
00:31:11And it's all wrapped up for Christmas with a big purple bow.
00:31:14How about that?
00:31:16Well, to each his own.
00:31:17You know, everybody's got their own style, their own way they want to do things.
00:31:21And, uh, Lenny and Loni, and, uh, as we found out last week with that video, uh, they have, uh, Loni has his own fan club as well.
00:31:28I wouldn't doubt it.
00:31:30You know, we're back into school being in, and colleges, and high schools.
00:31:35And we're going to be seeing a lot more parties, I know, like we saw last week.
00:31:40But I don't know how many more Loni parties we're going to see.
00:31:44Billy Silverman is the referee.
00:31:45We're just about set to go for the next matchup, where tonight, Goldberg and Diamond Dallas Page will go at it in our feature bout live three hours here tonight on Monday Nitro.
00:31:56Good to have you with us, wherever you are.
00:31:59Before this match gets underway, we're very excited, as we announced last week, about WCW Mayhem.
00:32:05The video game from EA Sports.
00:32:11And the countdown is on to the release of Mayhem.
00:32:16And there you see it.
00:32:1826 days, 3 hours, 17 minutes, 15 seconds to go until in video game stores, toy stores, stores like Media Play and borders all across the country,
00:32:33where Mayhem will be released, brain.
00:32:35That's a big release for WCW, in conjunction with the leader of sports video games, EA Sports.
00:32:41You know, I got a sneak preview of it.
00:32:43It's not like any video game you've ever seen.
00:32:45It's like you're watching live action.
00:32:47It's like, really humans.
00:32:48This is great.
00:32:49And it, and it, and it, oh, watch out.
00:32:52Good move by Kaz, but also a video game that does not confine you to the ring.
00:32:56No.
00:32:57You get to go in many different areas, including the locker room.
00:33:02Out and back, many different areas to fight your opponents.
00:33:05It's all a part of WCW Mayhem.
00:33:12He's not fighting the Cruiserweight champ.
00:33:13He's fighting his brother.
00:33:15And you would think the way he's approaching this match, he's going out to the Cruiserweight title here.
00:33:20He has to.
00:33:22The only way to approach him.
00:33:23Oh!
00:33:25A match like this, you have to go for it all.
00:33:29Drop till hold by Kaz, and loading.
00:33:31Hit the middle turnbuckle, and now, what about that move?
00:33:34Cover one, two.
00:33:36But put his on the ropes, and the Cruiserweight champion, Looney, right there to assist his brother.
00:33:41Kaz can't worry about his brother.
00:33:42He's going to worry about the man he's in the ring with.
00:33:45Oh!
00:33:46Kaz!
00:33:47Twisting.
00:33:47In the air, connects over the top rope.
00:33:53And that's not his opponent.
00:33:56No, his opponent's in the air.
00:33:59And that time, Looney connected with both his brother and his opponent, Kaz.
00:34:04Looney now takes charge with that move.
00:34:07Top rope, plancha.
00:34:09Cover.
00:34:10And only a two-count that time.
00:34:14Boy, we have seen so many wrestlers take high-risk maneuvers.
00:34:19Back and forth they go.
00:34:21Ah!
00:34:22One, two, got a two-count.
00:34:24That power slam that time.
00:34:27Two!
00:34:27You know, this basically, Looney and Lenny are a good team if they wrestle tag team wrestling.
00:34:33They're very good.
00:34:34They think alike, as we know.
00:34:37And they just complement one another.
00:34:40Goes back to the classic brother combinations that we've talked about in this sport, such as Harlem Heat.
00:34:45But, certainly, the Steiner brothers.
00:34:49Oh, great move that time by Kaz Ayachi.
00:34:52Over he goes, trying to make a cover.
00:34:54Kaz is really making a name for himself in this match.
00:34:58I don't think there's any question, with a win over Looney,
00:35:01Kaz would put himself in a position here to maybe get a cruiserweight title shot.
00:35:06Go!
00:35:07Speaking of title shots, Sting got the big one coming up.
00:35:10That ball brawl.
00:35:11The return match, well-deserved return match.
00:35:15With Hulk Hogan.
00:35:16Remember what Hogan said at the end of the program a week ago.
00:35:19With Goldberg and Luger watching his back.
00:35:22To keep the riffraff out, such as a Sid Vicious or a Rick Steiner.
00:35:27That Sting deserves another title shot on an even playing field.
00:35:31Well, I don't know if I would call Sid Vicious and Steiner riffraff.
00:35:35Because they could be out here any moment.
00:35:37What a move!
00:35:38From the top!
00:35:40I would call them serious.
00:35:42Oh, boy!
00:35:43Kicking out that time.
00:35:45Kaz Hayashi!
00:35:46How did he get away from that one?
00:35:48Instinct.
00:35:49It's all it's got to be, Brain.
00:35:50You're right.
00:35:51Into the corner.
00:35:52Kaz trying to balance up on top.
00:35:55And a referee that time got decked.
00:35:58And now Kaz goes down.
00:36:01We've got bodies everywhere.
00:36:03The referee is down.
00:36:04Kaz is down.
00:36:06Looney's down.
00:36:07And Lenny is in.
00:36:08They switched.
00:36:08They switched.
00:36:12In a third row.
00:36:13One, two, three.
00:36:14He got him.
00:36:15He pinned the Cruiserweight champion.
00:36:17Wrong man, though.
00:36:17That was not the legal man.
00:36:19But he just pinned the WCW Cruiserweight champ.
00:36:22But he wasn't the man in the match.
00:36:24He was wrestling Looney.
00:36:25Well, I know that.
00:36:26He's supposed to be in the ring.
00:36:27And look at the mix-up here.
00:36:29He's supposed to be in the ring.
00:36:29Not me.
00:36:31As these people.
00:36:32Kaz should be the Cruiserweight champion in reality.
00:36:37But it was Looney.
00:36:38He was wrestling.
00:36:39But it was Lenny.
00:36:40He pinned.
00:36:41It's time for a little double-team action here.
00:36:44That's got to be an embarrassing moment for the Cruiserweight champ to be pinned here by
00:36:50Kaz Hayashi.
00:36:51And now a double-team suplex as Billy Soberman tries to get Lenny and Looney out of the ring.
00:36:58With wild action already tonight.
00:37:01It's all a part of Nitro.
00:37:02It's going to be Sting in his title shot.
00:37:13The return bout at ball brawl against the world champion Paul Kogan.
00:37:18It's all coming your way up Sunday, September 12th.
00:37:21And on pay-per-view.
00:37:22With that in mind, here's Mean Gene.
00:37:25Ladies and gentlemen, in a cell phone and cyberspace world,
00:37:29one man that has cut through it all and has been here for us at all times.
00:37:35My guest at this time, ladies and gentlemen,
00:37:39please welcome the WCW Heavyweight Champion of the World,
00:37:45Paul Kogan.
00:37:49Would you look and would you listen at this response?
00:37:54Just listen.
00:37:54Just listen.
00:37:59Incredible reception for the one and only Hulk Hogan.
00:38:24Returning to a venue of building the scene of many of his great conquests.
00:38:31100% American, American-made.
00:38:34But he comes back here under a cloud of accusations
00:38:37from a very serious total package Lex Luger.
00:38:42Be that as it may.
00:38:44The return bout against Sting is on for Winston-Salem, for ball brawl,
00:38:51for Sunday, February 12th.
00:38:55September 12th, that is.
00:38:56And you know, I think it's only right that Hogan gave Sting the return title shot.
00:39:04Well, let's hear what he's all about.
00:39:09What he's got to say tonight.
00:39:12Whether it be garbage or propaganda or what.
00:39:15He electrifies the place.
00:39:17Look at this, Tony.
00:39:18I've got to be honest with you.
00:39:30Hulk Hogan, I haven't seen so much yellow and red since the canary hit the blender.
00:39:37That's a different story.
00:39:39In a moment, we will get to some accusations that have been thrown out.
00:39:43But first of all, welcome home.
00:39:45Well, you know something mean, Gene?
00:39:53You know, brother, it's running wilder than it's ever been.
00:39:57Listen to the maniacs.
00:40:03Now then.
00:40:05You know, when I left this city, brother, I was a champion.
00:40:09And by God, I'm a champion now that I'm back.
00:40:15Can we get that out of the business at hand?
00:40:17Earlier on, some very harsh criticism and accusations from the total package, Lex Luger, about you.
00:40:25Plus, he's been buzzing Sting.
00:40:27Well, let me give the devil his due, brother.
00:40:30In the wrestling business, a lot of things have changed.
00:40:34It's been nip and tuck.
00:40:36It's been survival with this whole new breed of wrestlers coming into this business.
00:40:40But when it came down to the red and yellow, when it came down to my son saying,
00:40:48Dad, do what's right, I looked into the eyes of all these maniacs, and my word is my bond.
00:40:55I will never stab the stinger in the back.
00:40:58Now, I don't know what has crawled up Lex Luger's shorts lately, but I'm going to sit in the back.
00:41:06I'm going to be eating fruit and being cool, and I can't wait to see this hard evidence that Lex Luger has.
00:41:14He says he has irrefutable proof that you have done something.
00:41:18He can't disclose it, but he's got the information.
00:41:21He's got the evidence coming here.
00:41:23Well, you know what I mean, G, I'm not going to pull the trigger on Lex Luger.
00:41:27But if Lex Luger is trying to cause trouble between me and my friend the stinger,
00:41:33I tell you what, I've already said a prayer.
00:41:36I'll do a little training, and if Lex Luger is trying to set me up and frame me,
00:41:41I'll go ahead and kick Luger's ass, brother.
00:41:46Wow.
00:41:47Okay, the fact of the matter is you've got Sting a call for all one-on-one,
00:41:51and this title is on the line.
00:41:53And I told Stinger it's going to be me and him, one-on-one, brother,
00:41:57because when the mania's running wild, what you're going to do, Stinger,
00:42:02when the mania runs wild on you?
00:42:04It's between me and Sting.
00:42:06That's it.
00:42:07All right.
00:42:08That sets it up.
00:42:09Hopefully we're going to find out more.
00:42:12Do not go away.
00:42:14This is Nyko of TNT, and we're right back.
00:42:18What Lex Luger's trying to prove.
00:42:31I'm going to tell you, Sting and I, we're straight up, brother.
00:42:35I'm going to wait and see what Lex Luger has to say.
00:42:37He's got the man in fact, and he's due as great.
00:42:42If you mess with the face, it's like a scream in his face.
00:42:48We are back, fans.
00:42:49Welcome back to WCW Monday Nitro, as always.
00:42:52The Rabbit fans, and we are at rinkside telling you that being released next week,
00:42:56two new brand-new videos from Warner Home Video and WCW in the Superstar Series.
00:43:02Hollywood Hulk Hogan and the one and only Nature Boy Ric Flair
00:43:05with never-before-seen footage.
00:43:11Doesn't like somebody playing a piano while you're trying to talk.
00:43:14What is that?
00:43:15It's not a piano.
00:43:17Cut the music.
00:43:20Gee whiz.
00:43:21Anyway, these are available in better stores everywhere beginning next week.
00:43:25Hulk Hogan said that he was going to get to the bottom of this,
00:43:30and he's going to be very interested to see what type of evidence that Lex Luger has.
00:43:37Well, you don't know unless the man comes right out and tells you what proof he has.
00:43:41He makes sense to me.
00:43:43I don't trust Hogan.
00:43:44Matter of fact, I don't trust you.
00:43:47Well, you really shouldn't, actually.
00:43:48You shouldn't trust anybody but yourself.
00:43:51I do.
00:43:52Speaking of trust, we saw four guys out here earlier.
00:43:55The Revolution.
00:43:56They trust each other.
00:43:59Well, they have to.
00:44:00They're the only friends they got.
00:44:05Time to go back to the ring for the next match.
00:44:07Don't forget, we've got...
00:44:08It's going to be a great one later on in singles competition.
00:44:14Goldberg and Diamond Dallas Page.
00:44:17A lot of talk when Hulk Hogan was talking to me and Gene about the big event on September 12th.
00:44:23It is fall brawl.
00:44:24It is a pay-per-view.
00:44:26Spectacular.
00:44:26But it's also live at the large gold Veterans Memorial Connoisseum in the great city of Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
00:44:34Tickets are available at the Connoisseum box office in all Ticketmaster outlets.
00:44:38So, you fans, in the Triad area, I'm not talking about the Jersey Triad.
00:44:44I'm talking about in the Triad area of North Carolina, get your tickets.
00:44:48The box novels are all Ticketmaster outlets.
00:44:51You don't want to miss this one.
00:44:52And we are going to sign, I know, and have more matches in the weeks to come.
00:44:58Leaning up to fall brawl on Sunday night, September 12th.
00:45:04But what a duo this is, Bray.
00:45:06Oh, you aren't kidding.
00:45:08You realize that Bray Mysterio's wardrobe ever caught on fire, he'd be out about eight bucks.
00:45:16Bray Mysterio Jr. and Eddie Guerrero, they have formed over the past month a sensational tag team.
00:45:22I think they complement each other quite well.
00:45:26Both very similar in their styles.
00:45:29Eddie is Mr. Intensity.
00:45:32And, of course, Bray Mysterio brings the excitement into the ring.
00:45:35Look, they love Bray.
00:45:36You can see it here.
00:45:38And Bray Mysterio with that Yankee hat on.
00:45:40One of the great wrestlers who, since taking the mask off, since he was forced to remove the mask,
00:45:48has become even more of a sensation in this sport.
00:45:51It's like a bad boy for the Yankees.
00:45:54Eddie Guerrero.
00:45:55What a talent.
00:45:56Mysterio, what a talent.
00:45:59It's going to be a great match.
00:46:00You look at this capacity crowd on hand.
00:46:02Mysterio is my hero.
00:46:03And there he is, Ray Jr.
00:46:06I probably like spurt toes, too.
00:46:08And across the ring from him, two men who are going to give him more than a match in La Parca and Blitzkrieg.
00:46:17La Parca, one of the biggest luchadores, as you know, the self-appointed chairman of WCW, of course.
00:46:24With a capital C.
00:46:25He's referring to that chair that he brings to the ring and uses many times.
00:46:29Not afraid to use it.
00:46:30Very aggressive personality in WCW.
00:46:32Should be a good tag team match that we have for you here tonight on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:46:39Boy, it just keeps getting hotter and more exciting.
00:46:42Berlin is here.
00:46:44What an entourage he had coming in that black Mercedes.
00:46:47He's a scary man.
00:46:48Real scary.
00:46:49I like that.
00:46:50Has his own, how about this, his own interpreter.
00:46:54Well, he should have.
00:46:55Well, now, hold on a second.
00:46:56We're going to bring it up again, I'm sure, and talk about it.
00:47:00He doesn't need an interpreter.
00:47:03He can speak the English language.
00:47:05But he doesn't care to.
00:47:07That's why he needs the interpreter.
00:47:09Well, we'll be talking more about that.
00:47:13It's been a long-awaited debut by Berlin, and he is in the arena here tonight on Nitro.
00:47:20And Ray let Leparca do his little dig, slapped him down, and that gave Leparca the chance to win right on him.
00:47:29Whoa.
00:47:31If you spit Eddie Guerrero, he'll make you eat it.
00:47:33Spit right through the mask to Eddie Guerrero.
00:47:36Eddie just too quick.
00:47:38One step back.
00:47:39He's going to shoot Ray in.
00:47:40Sliding first.
00:47:41And oh!
00:47:42He hooked Leparca and put him face first onto the mat.
00:47:46But look at Blitzkrieg in the ring go to town.
00:47:50Very wrong.
00:47:52Back for Somersault.
00:47:54And he got a one-cut.
00:47:55Spectacular moves by Blitzkrieg.
00:47:58Eddie sends him in.
00:47:59Picks him up.
00:48:00The tilt-a-world backbreaker by Eddie.
00:48:02What a conditioned athlete this man, Eddie Guerrero is.
00:48:05You know, the whole family was wrestlers.
00:48:07His father, his brothers, his uncles, his aunts, his sisters, his cousins.
00:48:11The dog, the cat, everybody, the chihuahua.
00:48:14There are more wrestlers.
00:48:15He knows what he's doing.
00:48:21Springboard into a moonsault that time.
00:48:24Eddie Guerrero.
00:48:26On the outside is Ray.
00:48:29Has Eddie got up on the apron yet after that spill he took?
00:48:31Yes, he's up.
00:48:32As Ray hits the apron that time.
00:48:34And holds Leparca.
00:48:35He's so quick.
00:48:36On his mask.
00:48:37Up on top.
00:48:39Caught him and made it.
00:48:39You know, a lot of people always say,
00:48:41how can these luchadors compete when they're not 290 pounds?
00:48:45They're not 300 pounds.
00:48:46But they're so fast and quick, they make up for it.
00:48:49Nobody's quicker than these guys.
00:48:51They can literally run circles around is what they can do.
00:48:55One of the guys who knows quicker is Tanay getting a scoop.
00:48:57Into the corner.
00:49:01Pick up again.
00:49:03Leparca showing his power.
00:49:04Brings in the very agile Blitzkrieg.
00:49:07And Blitzkrieg, Leparca, a little double-team action here.
00:49:10Charles Robinson, no, but up on top cover.
00:49:14What a...
00:49:14In the entryway, you obviously see once again,
00:49:18Vampiro and the Insane Clown Posse.
00:49:21Second time now that these men have been out here.
00:49:23Remember earlier, Vampiro confronted Scotty Riggs,
00:49:27saying that Riggs owed him something.
00:49:29Whatever that was about.
00:49:30Here they are again.
00:49:31Talk about a miss.
00:49:34Eddie!
00:49:35I'm not sure what...
00:49:36Who rolls anybody's body figure?
00:49:39Missile drop kick from the top by Eddie.
00:49:42Black body drop.
00:49:43Blitzkrieg way up top.
00:49:46Eddie walks the ropes.
00:49:47Look at this!
00:49:49Don't bother calling housekeeping.
00:49:51Eddie's cleaning house all by himself.
00:49:53That's exactly what he's doing.
00:49:54Good call, Brain.
00:49:55And now Riggs is caught by Leparca.
00:49:58And Rhea and Leparca both on the outside.
00:49:59How dangerous.
00:50:00It's Blitzkrieg on the inside with the advantage on Eddie Guerrero.
00:50:04What was this appearance?
00:50:06And they're still in the entryway by the ICP and Vampiro all about.
00:50:10There's one too many cartwheels that time.
00:50:14Kind of hunting himself out to dry.
00:50:15And Eddie sees an opening.
00:50:17Eddie's trying to take advantage.
00:50:18Calls in Riggs.
00:50:19He boosts Riggs to the top with the Frankensteiner.
00:50:22Amazing teamwork by Eddie and Ray.
00:50:25They're not done.
00:50:27Oh!
00:50:29On the mark, he hit it.
00:50:32Bullseye.
00:50:32Blitzkrieg is still down.
00:50:34The fans are up.
00:50:35And it could be.
00:50:36And yes, it is the Frog's Wild.
00:50:38He's got him.
00:50:39It's over.
00:50:45Wow, what a match that watch.
00:50:47Well, obviously, we know of the longstanding problems that Vampiro and the ICP have with
00:50:55Eddie Guerrero and Ray Mysterio Jr.
00:50:57But they didn't materialize that time.
00:51:00It's time for our stickers to replay, Bobby Heenan.
00:51:03Well, grab a bite and take a look at this.
00:51:05Great action by Eddie Guerrero.
00:51:08What a great tag match.
00:51:09They went at each other from the, as soon as the bell rang.
00:51:11There's that Frog Splash on the mark for the one, two, three.
00:51:17There's your winner, Eddie Guerrero and Ray Mysterio Jr.
00:51:22The replay brought to you by Snickers.
00:51:23Not going anywhere for a while.
00:51:25We'll grab a Snickers.
00:51:26Hungry?
00:51:27Why wait?
00:51:28You don't have to wait.
00:51:29We're coming right back with more on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:52:02Ladies and gentlemen, I truly do not know what to expect, but I think finally, it is the
00:52:27arrival to World Championship Wrestling of Berlin.
00:52:37Long-anticipated arrival
00:52:39of this man, and we've already seen that he's arrived at the building.
00:52:45I've got to tell you, Brain, there's something about this guy that I just don't like.
00:52:49I don't know what it is.
00:52:50Well, I'll tell you something.
00:52:53This man has distinguished himself as one of the greatest wrestlers ever to come out of Germany.
00:52:58And if he decides he wants to make his mark here at WCW, no one's going to stop him.
00:53:02Yeah, he's going to be pretty hard to ignore.
00:53:05And I've got to admit, fans, Berlin has arrived most impressively with an entourage.
00:53:12The lady that you see is with him is his interpreter.
00:53:15Uta Ludendorff, we understand her name.
00:53:19And once again, the mysterious past of this man, the fact that we know that he can't speak
00:53:27English, but refuses to speak English.
00:53:31And he has brought his interpreter out here.
00:53:33He's scary looking.
00:53:36I don't mind telling you.
00:53:42They're searching Okerlund.
00:53:43They should have done this years ago.
00:53:47This has never happened to Okerlund in the ring.
00:53:49Gene, I don't know what to make of this.
00:53:51Well, finally, ladies and gentlemen, or should I say, hopefully, finally, we're going to
00:54:12hear something from this mystery man.
00:54:14You have arrived tonight.
00:54:15What did he say?
00:54:25Attention!
00:54:26Berlin has a message for the WCW.
00:54:30All right.
00:54:40He's speaking English.
00:54:42I know better than that.
00:54:43He says he has the knowledge of wrestling.
00:54:45That the American wrestlers don't understand.
00:54:52When eure ringer ringen, is das nur ringen.
00:54:56Wenn ich ringe, ist das kunst.
00:55:01I understood that.
00:55:03What did he say?
00:55:04He said, when your wrestlers wrestle, it's just wrestling.
00:55:09When he wrestles, it's an art.
00:55:13You've got more, my friend?
00:55:14Ich wurde von einem Konsortium.
00:55:22Ich wurde von einem Konsortium, von Geschäftsleuten, zur perfekten Maschine trainiert.
00:55:29Keine, aber auch keine, baubt Maschinen besser als die Deutschen.
00:55:34Back to the interpreter.
00:55:37Tell me what he said.
00:55:38He said he was built by a consortium of German businessmen and made into a perfect machine.
00:55:46Nobody builds machines better than the Germans.
00:55:48Ich bin bereit.
00:55:52Ich habe den ersten Mann ausgesucht, den ich zerstören werde.
00:55:57He said that he is ready.
00:56:03He has chosen the first man he will destroy.
00:56:06You have chosen the first man.
00:56:11Buff Bagwell.
00:56:12Buff Bagwell.
00:56:13Buff Bagwell.
00:56:15Wow, that's a challenge.
00:56:17Out of all of the wrestlers in World Championship Wrestling, why Berlin would you pick Buff Bagwell?
00:56:24He says Bagwell represents what Americans are all about.
00:56:45Excess, narcissism and self-indulgence.
00:56:49And the German machine will destroy him.
00:56:53We all know that you speak English.
00:56:55Why would you prefer to speak German here tonight?
00:57:00Jeder weiß, dass ich schon einmal hier gewesen bin.
00:57:03Ich spreche perfekt Englisch.
00:57:06Doch ekel das mich an.
00:57:09Und ich weigere mich, das nicht perfekte amerikanische Englisch zu benutzen.
00:57:17To the interpreter.
00:57:19He says, yes, he has been here before.
00:57:23And yes, he speaks perfect English.
00:57:26But your language disgusts him.
00:57:29Therefore he refuses to speak it again.
00:57:33Und Bagwell, wo ich herkomme, heißt es,
00:57:39verlieren ist nicht akzeptabel.
00:57:43He says, Bagwell, where are you?
00:57:48In my country, losing is not.
00:57:52I'm sure that...
00:57:55It is unacceptable!
00:57:56It is unacceptable!
00:57:56Okay, apparently that concludes this interview.
00:58:02I'm not getting a lot from this man, Berlin.
00:58:05But certainly the interpreter has laid it all out for us.
00:58:08Can you imagine for the life of me,
00:58:10this man wants a shot at Buff Bagwell?
00:58:12Well, my suspicions are, sooner or later, he will get it.
00:58:16We're in primetime at Nightrow.
00:58:18We're on Long Island, and we're going to be right back.
00:58:20Don't go away.
00:58:21I hope Bagwell's watching.
00:58:38It's a rematch so big, it can only be seen on pay-per-view.
00:58:43Sting and his chance to become world heavyweight champion,
00:58:45and the rematch they're all talking about,
00:58:47against Hulk Hogan.
00:58:49Fall brawl, Sunday, September 12th.
00:58:51And only on pay-per-view.
00:58:53What do we have here?
00:58:54All right, I understand Gene Okerlund has something else to give us.
00:58:57Gene, what's going on?
00:58:59Well, there's a lot of things happening.
00:59:00Of course, we're out on Long Island.
00:59:01This is the home of the New York Islanders of the National Hockey League.
00:59:05We...
00:59:06I don't know if they're the most popular game in town.
00:59:09They're not.
00:59:10But we are in Nassau County, neighboring...
00:59:12What?
00:59:13Lex Luger?
00:59:14Just like I said earlier, it's already coming true.
00:59:17Just like I predicted.
00:59:19As I sit in my locker room,
00:59:20I almost get my brains whacked out from behind.
00:59:24As I'm laying on the floor,
00:59:25and I'm coming to,
00:59:27out of the corner of my eye,
00:59:28I see that red and yellow coward in the back
00:59:32going through my bags,
00:59:33and now he's going,
00:59:35bro, smashed out all the windows in my vehicle,
00:59:37because he knows I'm right.
00:59:39He knows what I have
00:59:40who exposed his entire career
00:59:43for what he really is.
00:59:44A phony,
00:59:45a coward,
00:59:46and sting,
00:59:47and everyone out here,
00:59:48and everyone at home is going to find out.
00:59:50Are you sure it was Hulk Hogan?
00:59:52Lex Luger?
00:59:53Are you sure?
00:59:54I can't believe that.
00:59:55But did you see Luger?
00:59:57Tony, back to you.
00:59:58Wow, he was all messed up.
01:00:00I don't think there's any question about that, Gene.
01:00:02Hopefully, he'll keep following the story.
01:00:04Well, fans,
01:00:05this is Monday Nitro.

01:02:17Well, it had to be.
01:02:18You have to have Nitro
01:02:19with an opening of a beautiful building like that.
01:02:21I went through it a couple days ago
01:02:23on a tour.
01:02:24What a fantastic facility this is.
01:02:26It's going to be bigger than the Olympics
01:02:28were in Atlanta.
01:02:29Built on the site of the old Omni
01:02:33between, of course, the Z&M Center
01:02:35and the Georgia Dome,
01:02:37the brand new Phillips Arena.
01:02:38And WCW heads to the brand new Millennium,
01:02:41into the Millennium with
01:02:42being the first in the Phillips Arena.
01:02:46It's a big, big plus for us,
01:02:49and we're very proud to be back in Atlanta
01:02:51at the Phillips Arena.
01:02:52Okay, World Tag Team title.
01:02:55What an upset.
01:02:56And this new duo winning the belts a week ago,
01:03:00the first goal for Kendall Windham,
01:03:02and he and his brother,
01:03:04you know, we're talking about
01:03:05the brother-in-law,
01:03:06Harlem Heat,
01:03:07and we failed to mention
01:03:10the World Tag Team Champions earlier,
01:03:12and we should.
01:03:13The West Texas Rednecks,
01:03:15and the Windhams are on fire right now.
01:03:17And currently he's at ringside,
01:03:20the lead singer of the group.
01:03:21And the leader in many ways.
01:03:23A springboard from the top that time
01:03:25by Prince Iakea.
01:03:27What about Lex Luger?
01:03:31Oh, something's going wrong.
01:03:32Oh, my goodness.
01:03:33Somebody got the measure
01:03:34of Lex Luger in the back there.
01:03:36Well, he says it.
01:03:37He thinks it's Hogan.
01:03:38That's what he says.
01:03:39He saw the red and the yellow.
01:03:41He doesn't think it's Hogan.
01:03:42He says he knows it's Hogan.
01:03:44Fans stay with us.
01:03:46We're going to follow this story.
01:03:47We know that Neen Jean will as well.
01:03:49Oh, come on.
01:03:51In a debut,
01:03:52the most auspicious debut
01:03:54by Berlin
01:03:55and his entourage.
01:03:58Debole is frisking the ring.
01:04:00I think they were checking
01:04:01to see if he had a wire on him
01:04:02or some kind of a recorder.
01:04:04They're very...
01:04:05Very much.
01:04:08They're very security conscious.
01:04:11They want to make sure
01:04:12their man, Berlin,
01:04:13is taken care of
01:04:14and not pushing around.
01:04:16Okay.
01:04:17I'll go with that.
01:04:18I can understand that.
01:04:19Because you can't trust Ocran.
01:04:21He'll hide you in a minute.
01:04:23They don't want anybody
01:04:24getting close to this German athlete
01:04:25who has made a challenge
01:04:27for Buff Bagwell.
01:04:29He's come into WCW
01:04:30with his sights set.
01:04:31He's got a big plan.
01:04:32You've got to give him that.
01:04:33He wants Buff Bagwell.
01:04:35What a young, great superstar
01:04:37and he puts his sights on.
01:04:38Here's a one, two, three
01:04:39and a three count.
01:04:40And Prince Ikea goes down
01:04:42in a hurry
01:04:43from the Wyndham Brothers.
01:04:44Wait a minute.
01:04:45Was Barry Wyndham
01:04:45ever in the ring?
01:04:47I think it was all Kendall.
01:04:48It was all Kendall.
01:04:50Look at the same force.
01:04:52Is that it?
01:04:55Is that all you got
01:04:56for time, please?
01:04:59I tell you what.
01:05:01Harlem Heat says
01:05:02they're from here.
01:05:03Well, they're nothing.
01:05:05They're not...
01:05:06Rap is crap.
01:05:07Well, Harlem Heat
01:05:08is crap.
01:05:09And I tell you what.
01:05:10They're nothing.
01:05:11We're going back to Laredo.
01:05:13We're going to have a party
01:05:14because they're not worth fighting.
01:05:16We've already beat them once
01:05:17and we can beat them
01:05:19any day of the week.
01:05:22What's that?
01:05:22The best they got to offer?
01:05:25Eight times.
01:05:27What's their name?
01:05:27Booker T.
01:05:28Stevie Ray.
01:05:29Four times.
01:05:30Eight times.
01:05:31World champions.
01:05:32It took us one night
01:05:34to win the belts.
01:05:35One night.
01:05:36Oh, here we go.
01:05:39As can you shall receive.
01:05:41Here they come.
01:05:42The former eight-time
01:05:43World Tag Team Jets.
01:05:44We got a Donnybrook.
01:05:46Unexpected.
01:05:47Let him go.
01:05:48The windups and Harlem Heat
01:05:50slugging it out.
01:05:52In the ring.
01:05:53Whoa!
01:05:54Heat.
01:05:56Oh!
01:05:58There he goes on the outside.
01:06:00Kendall Windham left alone.
01:06:02Himmy gets wrapped.
01:06:03By Stevie Ray.
01:06:07On the inside.
01:06:11They pinned him.
01:06:13Doesn't matter.
01:06:14Doesn't matter.
01:06:14Didn't count.
01:06:15Yeah, but he pinned him.
01:06:16Doesn't matter.
01:06:17But he got you from there.
01:06:18Yeah, but then we're out here
01:06:19playing you.
01:06:20Is this all you got?
01:06:21Well, it didn't take Harlem Heat
01:06:23long to come in and get
01:06:25one half of the World Tag Team Jets.
01:06:27Well, they just had a match.
01:06:28Hold on.
01:06:31Now you're seeing the
01:06:32the West Texas Rednecks.
01:06:36He's all tied up right now.
01:06:39Bobby Duncan Jr. has come out
01:06:41and now it's four on two.
01:06:45And using the Cowboy vernacular,

01:06:49a member of Harlem Heat
