00:00An injury that has put Hollywood Hogan on the shelf for a few months.
00:07Page hits the ropes, tries a diamond cutter immediately.
00:11Nash shrugged him off and then planted him with a back elbow.
00:14But gentlemen, notice this.
00:15How many times has he gone for the diamond cutter and not used it?
00:19That shows you how good Nash is.
00:22He's ready.
00:23Shows you the respect that Page hands for him.
00:25He wanted to get it over with quickly, guys.
00:27And it may also show us the familiarity that these two men have with each other.
00:31Think back to when they both broke into the sport about a decade ago.
00:34They were tag team partners.
00:38Nash goes in and misses.
00:39Page nails him right and left combinations.
00:42Page really fighting his mark here on Nash.
00:45Nash out of swing.
00:51Page doing a lot of good ducking and weaving now.
00:52But Nash just sends him down with an elbow, or a knee that is, to the midsection.
00:57Well, like Buffer says, the best big man in sports today.
01:00And that's it right there.
01:02Nash.
01:06Turned his back on his opponent and paid for it.
01:10Momentary lapse of concentration really hurt DDP that time.
01:17Nash will follow him down on the floor here.
01:20And Page on all fours trying to pull himself back up.
01:22There's so much strength in Kevin N.
01:27Look at the strength and the arms and how with ease he can pick up a man besides a diamond
01:33Dallas Page.
01:34Right.
01:34Six foot five, 270 pounds.
01:36And he just picked up DDP with ease and dropped him across the safety rail.
01:40Out of the apron.
01:41And remember, when you pick up a man 275 pounds, that man don't want to go up.
01:46He's fighting you.
01:47Sure.
01:47You're picking up a 300, 400 pound guy just about.
01:51Nick Patrick trying to get the match back in the ring.
01:56Finally, the combatants go back.
01:57Yeah, DDP seems to want to do everything to take the match out to the floor, or at least
02:02avoid a beating from Kevin Nash.
02:04Well, we've said so many times field addings in title matches.
02:08In a title match, the champion does not have to beat you.
02:12You've got to beat the champion.
02:13So that is the test.
02:15The test.
02:17You know, Tony, DDP is so proud of being two times heavyweight champion.
02:23He won a second title in a remarkable night, if you think about it.
02:27And President of the night where he would lose the title to Sting on Monday Nitro, and
02:32then win the thing back the same night.
02:35Never had before.
02:36Oh!
02:40Look at the arms on Nash.
02:42What a huge man.
02:46Measure him.
02:49Not only the long arms and long reach, but also as he measures up DDP.
02:57Those feet.
02:58Boom!
03:00Those legs quite extension too sometimes.
03:02Paige wants to stop.
03:04And elbow.
03:06Paige down to the bottom turnbuckle pad now, and Nash feeling that any time now, he can
03:13become the world champ.
03:14He slowly stalks back towards DDP.
03:19Kevin Nash.
03:22Look at the power of that man.
03:24Phenomenal.
03:26Paige, good maneuvering to get behind him.
03:29Boy, you've got to give it to DDP on that one.
03:30He fought his way out of that brain, just like you talked about when you pick up a 275-pound
03:35man.
03:36He's going to fight his way out of it, and Paige has always been a fighter.
03:40And Paige isn't backing up.
03:41He's going right after him.
03:42I don't know what good he's going to do him, but he's going after him.
03:44He's going after him.
03:45Right and left from DDP at first.
03:48Now up to that middle turnbuckle, and Nash keeps shrugging him off.
03:54Paige goes back a third time, and a kick between the legs, brings the big man down by one knee.
04:01And, of course, DDP making contact with our official Nick Patrick to avoid Patrick seeing the low blow.
04:08Think about it.
04:09Nash on one knee is only three inches short, and Paige standing up.
04:13Patrick warning.
04:15Diamond Dallas, Paige trying to physically pull him away and pull him out.
04:18And Paige is holding the ropes.
04:21But notice that.
04:22Notice the fighting Paige.
04:23He doesn't care.
04:24He's got something in his hand.
04:25He's got, like, wire clippers.
04:32He's had this happen to him.
04:33He's going to expose that iron steel bolt right there.
04:36Remember earlier in the year, what Scott Steiner did to Diamond Dallas Page,
04:41so he remembers what that steel turnbuckle can do to you.
04:48He shows Nick Patrick that it's, what has he got?
04:51He had the microphone.
04:52One, two.
04:57No.
04:57Nash got out of it.
04:58Took the mark.
05:00Hit the man between the eyes with it.
05:03And still a turnbuckle pad is off.
05:07The steel turnbuckle exposed.
05:08Hey, Nash is making a mistake.
05:09He's rolled to the middle of the ring.
05:10He should have rolled out.
05:12Maybe not.
05:13Maybe not.
05:17Exposed steel haunts DDP.
05:19We'll pin it down.
05:20Whether it was great strategy or just very fortunate for Kevin Nash,
05:25he was able to hook DDP and send him face first into that exposed steel turnbuckle.
05:33Boy, you gotta, you use a move like that and hit that iron piece of pipe there.
05:38It's unsalvageable.
05:39You can't come back after a hit like that.
05:47The mandatory 10 count.
05:51Here's Nash.
05:53Page gets up to the nick.
05:55Time.
05:58Almost just a natural reaction that time from DDP as he was able to roll the shoulder and avoid the three count.
06:04You know, that happens, gentlemen, because both of you, both of you gentlemen have never been in that ring in wrestling, and I have.
06:09And I'll tell you something.
06:10You hear that referee counting by instinct, sometimes at one, two, sometimes three or four, you're late kicking out.
06:15But when you hear that mad hit, your instinct is to raise that shoulder as quick as you can.
06:20Out goes the big man all the way to the floor, Kevin Nash.
06:24As the man who considers himself a legendary status now.
06:29Here's the Bulls, richly deserved, I might add, from the fans.
06:34Shows you how fickle the fans are.
06:36They used to love this guy.
06:37Yep.
06:37And how about how they cheered Bischoff out here a moment ago.
06:42Think about that.
06:43Think about the pass there.
06:44I've always liked to.
06:47Look at that move.
06:48Baseball slide, crop kick from DDP.
06:51He's taking the two off.
06:54He's taking the two off.
06:55Join the referee, and once again, Nick Patrick tells the champ to get the action in the ring.
07:02Diamond Cutter on the floor.
07:05Can he get up?
07:06Can Nash get up after this?
07:08I don't think he can.
07:09No one has yet?
07:15And a count-up is still going to give Paige this belt.
07:19Either way.
07:21If I was Paige, I'd get back in the ring and take it easy.
07:24Nash is going anywhere.
07:30He can't make a count-up there.
07:32Does he think this is Bulls count anywhere?
07:34It's not the case.
07:35He thinks he can do it every once, and he probably can.
07:40And if you get back in the ring, I'll count both of you out.
07:44Get us back in the ring.
07:47I'll count both of you out.
07:48Of course, that would give Paige the title right back again.
07:52But that Diamond Cutter now, you've got to wonder if Nash can continue.
07:57How much of Nash is going to be left in this match after that vicious Diamond Cutter on the solid floor on the outside.
08:04There's a lot of Nash.
08:05Just take a look.
08:06Well, here we go.
08:07And Kevin Nash was probably lucky that Paige hit the Diamond Cutter out on the floor because that allowed him time to recover by the time that he got into the ring and tried for the pin.
08:23Elbow drop lower abdomen that time.
08:30It was legal.
08:31And Nick Patrick does agree with it.
08:33But very, very close.
08:34We're going to stop this.
08:35We're going to stop this thing.
08:37Fire!
08:40Diamond Dallas Page may be moments away from retaining this belt.
08:43That's still a tough man to beat.
08:46Probably the toughest man in our sport today to get a one, two, three on order to submit.
08:53You told me that, Mike, and many of you don't.
08:57Paige goes airborne that time and connects with the elbow.
09:01Was that low?
09:04I don't think I've ever seen Nash in this much speed.
09:07I was your midget.
09:09And I've never seen Paige so arrogant.
09:13I've never seen Nash just up in a ball in the ring, just knees up to his gut in this much pain.
09:21Diamond Dallas Page has pretty much laid him out here.
09:25Again, we talk about the familiarity that these two men have with each other.
09:29And I think it's been well documented through the years that Kevin Nash has had some knee problems.
09:34And gentlemen, we're dealing with two veterans that know what to do in that ring.
09:38Take every side step, every back corner, every back alley you have to.
09:42That's how you survive in this sport.
09:45What do you do with a big man?
09:46How do you neutralize him?
09:47You take the knee out.
09:49You take the legs out.
09:51Almost like a Shades of Spring Stampede.
09:54DDP taking out the knee of Hollywood Hogan by wrapping it around that steel post.
09:58In more than that, he put a figure four around the steel post, around the knee of Hollywood Hogan.
10:04And that's when Hogan said he heard pop.
10:08And we may be seeing the beginnings of much the same thing here.
10:11Now his legs are long enough and they're perfect for Diamond Dallas to put the figure four on his hook.
10:16What a great move by Nash.
10:22Talk about instinct.
10:25Ray Page deserved every bit of that.
10:27Turned his attention going to the fans.
10:30You can't do that.
10:32We've said that all night.
10:33They still do it.
10:34So you can't do it.
10:36You can't always get away with it.
10:39Excuse me.
10:39Judge Shivani.
10:40Down goes Nash.
10:47He wants Nash to get up.
10:48It's something about Nash standing toe-to-toe that Paige wants.
10:53Why would you want Nash to stand up and look at him?
10:55He doesn't want to beat him.
10:56He wants to humiliate him is what he wants to do.
10:58That's the confidence Paige has being the world's champion.
11:03Having that belt around your waist just builds confidence in you.
11:07Daring Nash to get up.
11:10Telling Nash to get up.
11:14And Nash does get up.
11:21Right and left.
11:23Here comes Kevin Nash.
11:26Boom.
11:27Down goes Paige.
11:27He comes back up.
11:29The big man's alive.
11:31He just caught Paige with a running knee.
11:34Sends him into the corner.
11:35That's a floor shocker right there.
11:41Kevin Nash mounting a comeback.
11:43Touch them all.
11:46Exposed two-buckle.
11:50Snake eyes time in the corner on the exposed steal.
11:54Paige hits the rope.
11:55Bounces to the other side.
11:57Can Kevin Nash win the world title?
12:01Right here.
12:02Tonight is Slammery.
12:03I would say that man can do whatever he wants to do.
12:06Whenever he wants to.
12:08Paige goes in.
12:09Paige goes down.
12:15Yeah.
12:17Nash may be good.
12:19For the Jet Knight Powerbomb.
12:22We're going to have a new champion, gentlemen.
12:25We certainly are.
12:26Oh.
12:28Savage is in.
12:30Randy Savage.
12:31Savage.
12:34Again, playing the role of the spoiler.
12:38Again.
12:39I'm stumped.
12:40Helping Diamond Dennis Page.
12:43For some reason, he is protected or he's helped, aided, whatever word you want to use.
12:49DDP.
12:49I've never seen Savage like this in all the years I've known him, his father, his family.
13:00He's a different Savage right now.
13:03I don't think this Savage is beatable.
13:04Nick Patrick has thrown this out.
13:07Nick Patrick has thrown this out.
13:07A disqualification.
13:09Eric Bickshaw fans has come back out here.
13:13Earlier, overturned the verdict and gave Roddy Piper the presidency.
13:20What's he doing now?
13:22He's instructing.
13:27Doug Dillard.
13:28Hey.
13:29What's up here, brother?
13:31Let's go.
13:31I remember you a little while ago, brother.
13:33Don't mess with me.
13:34Don't mess with me.
13:36Don't mess with me.
13:37Let's go.
13:37Let's go.
13:38I don't give a damn what was advertised.
13:43I don't give a damn what the rules are.
13:45This match will continue.
13:47If Ted Turner or Harvey Schiller or Steve Hire or anybody else doesn't like it, have them
13:53call me on Monday.
13:54This match continues to the finish.
13:56All right.
13:57You got it.
13:57That's it.
13:58I heard it.
14:00What a blockbuster.
14:01He has to restart the match.
14:03Now we're starting to patient.
14:04Hey, this is over.
14:06This match is not over.
14:08It will continue right now.
14:10Oh, yeah.
14:10Good.
14:11Let's have a winner.
14:12Let's go.
14:12Let's go with it.
14:14That was a great, bold, gutsy move by Bischoff to restart this thing.
14:24And here we go.
14:26No disqualification.
14:28Savage can come in if he wants.
14:31Russian legs with him.
14:32It could be over now.
14:33Oh, no.
14:36Boy, Nash has fun.
14:38He's fought back the whole evening.
14:42That exposed turnbuckle.
14:45An incredible move by Bischoff to restart this thing.
14:49He said, we're going to have ourselves a winner.
14:52Forget about it.
14:53Here's like one, two.
14:55Oh, no.
14:56Page caught him with a clothesline out of nowhere and another two count on Nash.
15:00He's going to put him out.
15:05Trying to put him to sleep here, gentlemen.
15:08Can he do it?
15:17He's got to get Nash down to do it.
15:18Nash is too big.
15:20His neck is too big.
15:23He's too much of a man to put to sleep.
15:25Trying to come back.
15:34The match has been restarted.
15:37Kevin Nash has been restarted now.
15:40And he's got a sleeper on the defense.
15:42We will wake him, Paul.
15:46He's going to bed.
15:52And he's got it on good.
15:53Both sides of the neck.
15:55Oh, jawbreaker.
15:57They have it.
15:58Got it covered.
15:59And it does not have it.
16:04All right.
16:05Page rolls on the outside.
16:06He's going for something.
16:07Patrick said, no, wait a minute.
16:15Wait a second.
16:17The terrible slingshot from the top.
16:20Rebounded.
16:21Boomerang City.
16:28Cover.
16:30One.
16:31Two.
16:32Oh.
16:34It's not over yet.
16:35Not yet.
16:37Not till the fat lady dances.
16:43Something like that.
16:46Nash has the chair.
16:52And Page will make the cup.
16:54Nash is up.
16:56What a fight Nash has put up tonight.
16:59Dave, this has been a struggle.
17:00What a pay-per-view.
17:03Chair again.
17:04The foot to the chair to the face.
17:08Page goes down.
17:10Hard.
17:11Now can Nash make a cover?
17:15Oh, the big man's getting ready.
17:17The straps are coming down.
17:19Let's go.
17:20Let's do it.
17:22Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:23Kevin Nash wobbly.
17:27Dazed.
17:28But not beaten yet.
17:30Wobbly and dazed.
17:31He's still tougher than anybody walking the streets.
17:36An injured diamond down his page.
17:39He's going up.
17:41Big time.
17:45Nash is going to have to use all of his strength to take him up in the Jack Knight Powerbomb.
17:49He's got him up.
17:51He did it.
17:52He did it.
17:52He did it.
17:53A cover.
17:54One, two, new champion of the world.
17:58Yes, yes, yes, yes.
18:00We've done it.
