00:00:00You've got to be brave, you've got to be ready to expect this.
00:00:03If you're gonna be a champion, Juggalo, come on, Juggalo champion.
00:00:07Yeah.
00:00:07Well, a reminder our good buddy Mike today has your Week in Review,
00:00:12only on the WCW Wrestling Hotline.
00:00:14Call Mike, or he'll call you, 1-900-909-9900.
00:00:19Only on the WCW Wrestling Hotline.
00:00:22He owns a shredder, you know.
00:00:23I know he does, amongst other things, and as the fans go ballistic here.
00:00:28Remember last week, on the heels of the hyenas act by Sting at Fall Brawl?
00:00:34What went down on this program?
00:00:36Let's go back in time.
00:00:37I don't know where I've been the last six months.
00:00:44Pal, I've had a heart attack.
00:00:46I've been institutionalized.
00:00:48I turn around and Sting won the world title by hitting Hulk Hogan over
00:00:56the head with a baseball bat.
00:00:58We go way back, don't we, Rick?
00:01:01You made me what I am at this very moment.
00:01:06And I learned from the dirtiest player in the game, Rick.
00:01:10I really do respect you, and I love you, Rick.
00:01:14I'm going to give you the chance to leave peacefully and gracefully.
00:01:21I will always be a kiss-stealing, wheelie-dealing, limousine-run,
00:01:27son of a gun.
00:01:29It ain't going to change your life.
00:01:30You got it?
00:01:31And if you and Luger want me to leave, no, wait a minute, you're right.
00:01:35You're right.
00:01:37I'm going to leave.
00:01:41Whoa.
00:01:43Not.
00:01:44I also have a lot of respect for you, which is why we're trying to give you
00:01:48this great opportunity to walk out of this ring peacefully.
00:01:52Rick, take a walk.
00:01:55I was ready to retire because I hadn't watched wrestling in six weeks.
00:02:01Then I turned this show on last week.
00:02:04I said, hell, they can't do it without the Nature Boy.
00:02:08That's why I'm back.
00:02:09You ain't walking over me to get any more notoriety or any more recognition.
00:02:14I respect you, but you're going to have to earn the rest of it.
00:02:18And that's all there is to it.
00:02:20He never saw it coming.
00:02:21Never at all.
00:02:22Two men, brutally attacking Ric Flair.
00:02:25He's got him up there, Johnny.
00:02:27At the mercy of Luger.
00:02:28And look at Sting, just walking around enjoying it.
00:02:31This may be it.
00:02:34He won't let go.
00:02:35Look at this, Tony.
00:02:36It's Hulk Hogan.
00:02:39And Brooke, the Hitman Hulk.
00:02:42Luger and Sting slither away.
00:02:44What you got ready to do to Ric Flair is way over the line, man.
00:02:49Everybody knows the wars I've had with this guy, but I got respect for him.
00:02:54We saw it going down, and I'll be if it's gonna happen anymore.
00:02:59We're getting you in the ring tonight.
00:03:01We're gonna make it happen.
00:03:03So you better get ready.
00:03:04Prepare yourselves to be excellently executed.
00:03:07We're gonna kick you.
00:03:11We are back live in Cincinnati, Ohio.
00:03:14A jam-packed crowd here at prime time on TNT.
00:03:19And ladies and gentlemen, I may not be the most popular man in the house when I
00:03:24introduce my next guest, but he will be involved in a match right here on Nitro, the main event.
00:03:32The nature boy, Ric Flair, to beat this man, Diamond Dallas Page.
00:03:37So there it is, it's official.
00:03:40Ric Flair and Diamond Dallas Page are gonna go at it on this program.
00:03:45And then next week, in that month, throw a six-man tag in the Phillips Arena, live on Monday Nitro.
00:03:56Boys, he turned his life around.
00:03:58There was a time when no one liked this man.
00:04:00Then there was a time when everybody stood behind this man, DDP.
00:04:04For the courage and the way he fought his way to the top.
00:04:07And now?
00:04:08They hate him.
00:04:09Absolutely.
00:04:10I like him, though.
00:04:11Of course.
00:04:12What do you mean, of course?
00:04:13Anybody that anybody hates, you like, vice versa.
00:04:18You mean that cheats and connives?
00:04:20Yes.
00:04:21You love me?
00:04:23You hate me?
00:04:24Yes, I do.
00:04:26You'll never forget me.
00:04:29Why?
00:04:31Because nobody's done more professional wrestling than Diamond Dallas Page has.
00:04:38As a matter of fact, he's done way more for professional wrestling than Pete Rose ever did for baseball.
00:04:48You are on a line.
00:04:51You can't say that here.
00:04:53And of course, he's the greatest two-time, two-time, two-time heavyweight champion of the world.
00:05:04All right.
00:05:05If I were this man, I don't think I'd want to run for office here like Jerry Springer did.
00:05:10But Diamond Dallas Page tonight at the main event on TNT Coast to Coast, the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
00:05:16And you legitimately have got a problem on your hands because this guy is back and he's rejuvenating.
00:05:22First of all, you people need to shut the hell up when Mean Gene is talking.
00:05:29I can handle my own.
00:05:31You people are pathetic.
00:05:34Is that the best you got?
00:05:38Obviously, he's been voted number one.
00:05:40Speaking of pathetic, the only thing that's more pathetic than the fans in Cincinnati is the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
00:05:53You, my friend, you are now becoming pathetic.
00:05:59At one time, Diamond Dallas Page thought you were the greatest active former heavyweight champion of all time.
00:06:07But you won't go.
00:06:12It's past.
00:06:13Lex Luger and Sting came out here last night and tried to help you find your way, Nature Boy.
00:06:22They tried to help you retire.
00:06:26It's something that has to happen, Nature Boy.
00:06:28You used to say, to beat a man, you have to beat the man.
00:06:32Well, you know what?
00:06:33That worked when you were the man.
00:06:35Well, brother, you ain't the man no more.
00:06:42How long has he been doing this, 20, 30, 40 years?
00:06:44Wow.
00:06:45What about it?
00:06:45Whatever.
00:06:46In some 25 odd years, Nature Boy's been doing this.
00:06:50I know it's going to kill you, Nature Boy.
00:06:52That Diamond Dallas Page has done it in five.
00:06:58On the food chain, Nature Boy, Diamond Dallas Page is here.
00:07:02You, Ric Flair, are here.
00:07:05The Diamond Cutter is here.
00:07:09The Figure Four is here.
00:07:12Bang is here.
00:07:14Woo!
00:07:15It's history.
00:07:24Tonight, DDP is taking you to Bangtown permanently.
00:07:29I think that DDP has laid the foundation for quite a battle here tonight.
00:07:43Because tonight, on this program, we're gonna bring it to you live.
00:07:48The return of Ric Flair in the red.
00:07:50It's gonna happen a little bit later on tonight.
00:07:52Bobby the Brain Heaton against Diamond Dallas Page.
00:07:55No, Ric Flair, not me.
00:07:58Wow.
00:07:59It's coming up tonight on TNT.
00:08:19Watch the horror unfold as Slim Jam presents WCW's Halloween Happened.
00:08:25Sunday, October 24th, 8 p.m. Eastern, live and only on pay-per-view.
00:08:29Call your cable or satellite company to order now.
00:08:35There was a challenge made earlier in the night by one Goldberg to Sid Vicious.
00:08:39Still have not heard from Sid Vicious to answer if he'll go up against Goldberg at Halloween Havoc.
00:08:45But we have for you next week six men in the ring.
00:08:48Can you imagine?
00:08:49Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan, and Ric Flair on the same team against Lex Luger, Sting, and Diamond Dallas Page-Brain.
00:08:55All six men in next week's main event, former World Heavyweight Champions.
00:09:01Plus, Sting, of course, now the current World Heavyweight.
00:09:03Six World Champions in one ring for the first time ever.
00:09:05Well, you're wrong about that.
00:09:06You know they're not going to be in that ring all at one time.
00:09:09They're going to be on the floor.
00:09:10They're going to be up the aisles.
00:09:11This table will probably overturn.
00:09:12Your headset will be ripped off.
00:09:14Who knows what's going to happen?
00:09:15You're not going to see a main event like this anyway.
00:09:17This is going to be fantastic.
00:09:19And tonight, Ric Flair and Diamond Dallas Page 101.
00:09:22Plus tonight, in a return match from last week, Perry Sanden will meet Eddie Guerrero.
00:09:27Well, Timbers almost got out of control a week ago.
00:09:30And now, this week, the two men, obviously, with the revolution and the filthy animals all around,
00:09:36they're going to get it on one more time in a return bout.
00:09:38That's coming up later on tonight.
00:09:40Plus, Ric Flair does battle with Diamond Dallas Page.
00:09:44I'll tell you, I'll say it one more time.
00:09:47Page really added fuel to the fire on that one.
00:09:50You know Flair's angry already.
00:09:52He's going to be doubly angry when he gets to the ring against Page later on here tonight.
00:09:56Well, Flair always comes ready.
00:09:58And you saw him tonight, the Moody's in.
00:10:00And you saw a Diamond Dallas set.
00:10:03The Diamond Cutter's way up high.
00:10:05And Flair is way down low.
00:10:07Don't ever count that man out.
00:10:09But Ric, don't count EDP out either.
00:10:12He's a challenge for anyone.
00:10:16This is a man, ever courageous.
00:10:18Doesn't say a whole lot to a whole lot of people.
00:10:20Kind of a quiet guy, but the ladies love him.
00:10:23A good-looking young man is going to face Blitzcraig.
00:10:25He's a shoot Mike Briserweight.
00:10:27Now, earlier, you saw the ICP, the Insane Clown Posse and Vampiro,
00:10:31arriving to the arena here in Cincinnati.
00:10:33Later tonight, Shaggy Tudor will get his chance at Lenny and the WCW Cruiserweight champ.
00:10:42Now, this match, featuring two top right, the Cruiserweights, has a lot of special interest
00:10:48to all the Cruiserweights around the country.
00:10:50Because the winner of this match tonight, I'm told,
00:10:53will get a Cruiserweight title shot this coming Thursday on Thunder Live.
00:10:58And by the way, we're going to be at Thunder in Norfolk, Virginia,
00:11:01this coming Thursday live at the Scope.
00:11:04We were supposed to be, as you know, in Florence, South Carolina last Thursday live.
00:11:09But Hurricane Floyd hitting the coast of the Carolinas took care of that.
00:11:13Well, Thunder will be live this Thursday in Norfolk at the Scope at Thursday, September 23rd.
00:11:18Get your tickets at the Scope box office and all Ticketmaster outlets.
00:11:21And you're going to see either Blitzkrieg or Evan Courageous face either Shaggy Tudor or Lenny.
00:11:28With Floyd as special guest referee.
00:11:30Floyd will not be special guest referee.
00:11:32Sure, he's leaving Mayberry. He's done cutting hair that day.
00:11:35Sorry about that, fans.
00:11:36Evan Courageous, you talked about the young man who's made a lot of strikes.
00:11:42Picked up Blitzkrieg.
00:11:44A cover one to Blitzkrieg, the masked man who has been around WCW since, uh,
00:11:49since the late winter, early spring, has really made quite a name for himself.
00:11:54And it's because he tries these high-risk, fantastic maneuvers.
00:11:57And you know that Blitzkrieg, like many of the young cruiserweights,
00:12:02cover one, two is literally revolutionizing that weight bracket,
00:12:07brain, because of the things they can do.
00:12:09I've never seen so much raw, young, great talent in my life in this sport
00:12:14as there is right here, right now.
00:12:15And the condition they're in, the moves they do.
00:12:19Spin roll kick, do not forget the winner here.
00:12:21Goes on to face.
00:12:22Either Lenny is now the cruiserweight champ,
00:12:25Shaggy 2-dope if he can procure the cruiserweight belt later on here tonight on TNT.
00:12:30And I like both those teams.
00:12:32The insane clown passing and, uh, and Lenny and Lodi.
00:12:36Oh, by the way, did you know that Lenny and Lodi are now called the West Hollywood Blondes?
00:12:42That's their new team name.
00:12:44You know what they're called in Hollywood?
00:12:45I don't even know.
00:12:46The Sunset Boulevard boys.
00:12:48Uh-huh.
00:12:48A dropkick.
00:12:51And outside down goes Blitzkrieg.
00:12:54Young Evan Courage, this big match for him.
00:12:56He's up on top.
00:12:57Oh!
00:12:58Good balance that time and nails Blitzkrieg.
00:13:00He hit beyond the match, and he's hit very hard.
00:13:02Back of his head.
00:13:06You know, Brad, I can't get over.
00:13:07Now, WCW has put together, I know Ric Flair and Diamond Dallas Page, that's big news,
00:13:13but can you imagine that Bret Hart and Ric Flair will team with Hulk Hogan next Monday
00:13:19against world champion Sting Lex Luger and Diamond Dallas Page,
00:13:22six world champions wrestling together.
00:13:25Unheard of.
00:13:27And none of them like each other.
00:13:29That's what makes it better.
00:13:31Now, there's been a special bond of respect, whatever you want to call it,
00:13:35that has developed now between Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, and Bret Hart.
00:13:39I think it's respect.
00:13:40I mean, you're talking about three of the greats of all time.
00:13:43Handspring, back elbow, nicely done by Blitzkrieg.
00:13:48Blitzkrieg not done yet.
00:13:49Here's a pickup.
00:13:52This man can do a lot of things.
00:13:55And he comes up with something different each and every time he's up.
00:13:59Wow.
00:14:00Spinning punch at that time, and that was nothing but Matt.
00:14:05Up and down.
00:14:06Down.
00:14:08Four drops slammed by Evan Courageous.
00:14:10Courageous.
00:14:12Trying to win this thing, but no sir.
00:14:13Courageous doing a little too much showboating that time.
00:14:17And it cost him.
00:14:18Well, you climb that top rope, you'd be looking at that guy in the ring,
00:14:21and fit the pretty girl in the row, too.
00:14:24Up and over.
00:14:26Pushed him off.
00:14:26Courageous held on nicely.
00:14:28Kicked him in the sternum.
00:14:30Backpedaling Blitzkrieg.
00:14:31And Evan, big crossbody press.
00:14:34One, two, and...
00:14:35Almost.
00:14:36Could not keep him down.
00:14:42It's hard to call a match like this, because you can't remember 800 moves.
00:14:45Blitzkrieg spinning.
00:14:50In, side pressure kick.
00:14:51Got him.
00:14:52Single leg pickup.
00:14:54Courageous.
00:14:58Has Blitzkrieg in a pronged position.
00:15:00Uh-oh.
00:15:00Uh-oh.
00:15:01The record is 84 now.
00:15:04And here he comes.
00:15:05Ah!
00:15:05Twisting, spinning splash.
00:15:07One, two, three.
00:15:08He got him.
00:15:09He pinned him.
00:15:10He pinned him.
00:15:11He pinned him.
00:15:12And Evan Courageous, if he survived, what's just about ready to hit, is going to vie for
00:15:18the Cruiserweight title this Thursday on Thunder.
00:15:20He's trying to run away.
00:15:21Maybe he should have kept on running.
00:15:24Kept on going.
00:15:25One, two, three.
00:15:26Sid Vicious!
00:15:28Oh!
00:15:3184 now.
00:15:33I thought it was 83, but you're right.
00:15:3484, 85, it doesn't matter.
00:15:3782.
00:15:38Blitzkrieg's gonna try something here.
00:15:40It didn't work.
00:15:44You're right.
00:15:47Ow!
00:15:47Oh!
00:15:49That hurt his mom.
00:15:50Oh!
00:15:51Oh!
00:15:52That broke the guy in half, is what that did.
00:15:57Blitzkrieg is now a tag team.
00:15:59One, two, three.
00:16:0185 and up.
00:16:02Talking 85.
00:16:04You hear the Tana Goldberg?
00:16:07We want an answer here, big guy.
00:16:10I wouldn't push him.
00:16:12He wants to talk.
00:16:13Let him talk at his own pace.
00:16:14Put that prestigious U.S. title in that streak on the line.
00:16:20They're standing here in Cincinnati.
00:16:23Channing Goldberg.
00:16:25Yeah, if you want to, Chad Goldberg!
00:16:31See, Goldberg, you come running out here with your police protection.
00:16:47You call my name out.
00:16:52You challenge Sid Vicious.
00:16:55You challenge Sid Vicious.
00:16:59You accuse me of dropping people from behind.
00:17:09See, if you haven't figured it out, Goldberg, I do what the hell I want to.
00:17:22And in hell we have it, the scariest night in the world.
00:17:37I'm going to give you what you think you want.
00:17:45Yeah, I'm going to give it to you, Goldberg, but we'll play by my rules.
00:17:57Between now and hell we have it, you don't even come 10 feet near me.
00:18:04It's like a restraining order.
00:18:07You don't touch me.
00:18:15You do what I say.
00:18:20And if you make a mistake and you don't do that, just like that, you lose your opportunity.
00:18:26But the Halloween Havoc, if you're a good boy, you will become just another number on my march to the year 2000.
00:18:44I will be declared, the Millennium Man, I will hold the record of WCW, and there's nothing you can do about it.
00:19:08I will be declared, because sin is not sin.
00:19:22So there's the stimulation laid forth by Sid Vicious.
00:19:25Here we go, Tony.
00:19:26Goldberg, he says, Russell Ewing, Halloween Havoc, but you cannot get near me.
00:19:32You cannot touch me until the 24th of October.
00:19:36Goldberg is going to be buying his time until the 24th.
00:19:41I smell 80.
00:20:06So now we go to our return match from a week ago, where Perry Shattern will face Eddie Guerrero.
00:20:26Oh, it's time for Revolution, huh?
00:20:30As the Revolution comes out, Perry Shattern flanked by Malenko and by Shane Douglas.

00:22:15Everybody's talking about Nitro.
00:22:17Tremendous.
00:22:18Why do you get to go places with Spice and I don't know?
00:22:21He's my favorite.
00:22:22Oh, she's got taste.
00:22:24There's the answer I wasn't looking for.
00:22:27Here we go, bell sounds.
00:22:29And you see members of the Revolution, members of the Footy Animals coming out with Eddie Guerrero.
00:22:33Eddie going in with reckless advantage.
00:22:35He makes business here.
00:22:38Harry Satter is a determined, talented, powerful, and physical individual brain.
00:22:44Well, he better be, because he's in there with a top-top man.
00:22:47Guerrero, this man is quick, he's strong, he's intelligent, third generation.
00:22:51He's got everything going for him.
00:22:53Oh!
00:22:53And he's got a bowl of his old lady's chili, so he's ready to fight.
00:22:56One, two, got a two cap that time.
00:22:58I believe with almost all of that, here's another cover by Perry Saturn.
00:23:03The Filthy Animal, look at this, look at this.
00:23:06Nose to nose, and everybody's up on the apron here.
00:23:08Would you rather be a, whoa, remember the Revolution, or Tony's going to be a, wow!
00:23:17I wouldn't want to be Eddie Guerrero right now after hitting hard on the apron of the bouncing
00:23:21onto the barricade on the outside.
00:23:23Shoved back in by Shane Douglas, and now a rear chinlock here applied.
00:23:28After the car wreck Eddie Guerrero was in, we're looking even to see him in the ring.
00:23:31As they try to pull a pot on the floor, the Filthy Animals in the Revolution.
00:23:35Side headlock in the ring, we're coming right back with more on TNT.
00:23:41We're back on WCW Monday Nitro, and the action continues in the ring.
00:23:45I tell you, Perry Saturn has really dominated during the course.
00:23:50He's pretty much kept on that rear chinlock, and he's had a chance to escape maybe once or twice.
00:23:55But Eddie, fighting for everything he's got here, goes into the ropes, and once again Perry's in.
00:24:00Eddie, amazingly, with an arm drag tag down from a gorilla press slam position.
00:24:05I don't know if I've ever seen that or not.
00:24:07I don't think I have either, look at this!
00:24:08Oh my goodness!
00:24:10Boy, he can come out of so many different situations, and it just works out great for him.
00:24:20Amazing intestinal fortitude by one Eddie Guerrero, and he comes up swinging.
00:24:26And Saturn's head is rocked to the back ropes, to the fore ropes, and Saturn goes down hard.
00:24:36What great matches tonight, huh?
00:24:38You're not kidding, and we're not done yet.
00:24:40We've still got Lenny and Shaggy Chudot for the Cruiserweight title.
00:24:44And Ric Flair, a diamond down his page.
00:24:47Eddie walking the top rope up on top.
00:24:49I remember when I used to do that.
00:24:52One, two, and I would have loved to have seen that.
00:24:57If I didn't do it in the ring.
00:24:58I bet you did.
00:25:03Eddie back to the attack once again.
00:25:04One, two, and I would have loved to have seen that.
00:25:08If I didn't do it in the ring, I bet you did.
00:25:11I'm getting hooked.
00:25:12I'm getting hooked.
00:25:12I'm going to team on him over the top.
00:25:15Harry Sanders is going to take flight.
00:25:17Look how far away he is.
00:25:18A long way, too.
00:25:19You're not kidding.
00:25:21Up and.
00:25:22Oh.
00:25:23What an altitude.
00:25:24Oh, my God, one, two.
00:25:28No, he kicked out.
00:25:29How do you like that?
00:25:31That's the fight in the Guerrero's.
00:25:33I want to tell you, that's as good an elbow drop as you'll find in this sport.
00:25:37And Eddie Guerrero came out of it.
00:25:39That was a great elbow drop.
00:25:42That's one for the highlight film.
00:25:44Eddie, enough perseverance to roll him up.
00:25:46To him now.
00:25:47Oh, Perry Sanders kicked in.
00:25:49Sanders is such a tough customer.
00:25:52Always in the best shape.
00:25:54That's what it comes down to.
00:25:57That's why guys like Hogan, Flair, and Bret Hart will be on the same team next Monday.
00:26:02Have been at the top of the sport.
00:26:04Because they've always been in support condition.
00:26:07And Sting and Lex Luthor diving out of his page on the other side.
00:26:10What great camera work, huh?
00:26:12The fight is upstairs.
00:26:14Walking the top of the head.
00:26:16Frankensteiner went over, off of the ropes.
00:26:19Well, Eddie calls it the L. Frankensteiner.
00:26:21L. Frankensteiner.
00:26:24Amigo.
00:26:25He's going to the frog splash.
00:26:27He's got to tread through the revolution, and that's what he does.
00:26:31He just walks right by him.
00:26:34Enough time for Perry Sanders to rise to the occasion.
00:26:41Whoa.
00:26:42Eddie, defensive but overworked.
00:26:44Conan shoves Sanders back in.
00:26:47And Sanders doesn't want any part of Conan.
00:26:50And now the fight ensues on the floor.
00:26:52Let him go, let him go.
00:26:53Conan being held back by Rey and look at Shane Douglas.
00:26:57He's got a chain.
00:26:58Around his fist, and he hits it in the back of the head.
00:27:04And look at this.
00:27:05Sanders didn't like it.
00:27:09Perry Sanders upset.
00:27:10Hey, shut up and take the win.
00:27:12Get on top of him.
00:27:14That's a shot.
00:27:14That has stunned everybody here.
00:27:17I'm telling you something.
00:27:18Look at him standing.
00:27:19They can't believe it.
00:27:20Show me a person who's a good loser, and I'll show you a person who's not a winner.
00:27:23And now the referee in this academic.
00:27:26Three.
00:27:26One.
00:27:27One.
00:27:27I can't believe it.
00:27:28I've seen him.
00:27:32And needle kept going, center.
00:27:34We have to do it.
00:27:35Yes.
00:27:35He's a little brother.
00:27:36He's a little brother.
00:27:37He's a little brother.
00:27:38We're making money.
00:27:40I had it.
00:27:41Let's receive it.
00:27:44Shot him.
00:27:44Take it.
00:27:45He said something like he didn't have to do that.
00:27:48That's what it is.
00:27:49He's got it.
00:27:51He's getting from behind and coming up, ladies and gentlemen, in the ring.
00:27:56Two of the greats.
00:27:57Two former World Heavyweight Champions.
00:28:00Diamond Dallas Caves, The Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
00:28:02That and a host of other great wrestlers to the coming night on Nitro.
00:28:09The upcoming match between Shaggy, Two Dope, in just a few minutes.
00:28:13But ladies and gentlemen, we have bumper Sting in a return match for the world title.
00:28:18We'll go up against Paul Kogan.
00:28:22It's all a Halloween Havoc on October 24th.
00:28:26And it's all coming your way on K3U.
00:28:29Is that bumper?
00:28:30Do you have a door or a trunk?
00:28:32We're going to go to Mean Gene right now for a special interview.
00:28:34Gene?
00:28:35All right, Cody.
00:28:36You've got your hands full.
00:28:37I think Heenan is sniffing around wanting to get in on the Nitro Girls competition.
00:28:42Am I correct?
00:28:42Jawohl.
00:28:43Just what I thought.
00:28:45Ladies and gentlemen, a week ago last night, folks across America and around the world,
00:28:51Hulk Hogan lost the WCW World Heavyweight title to a gentleman we saw here by the name of Sting.
00:29:00However, people that I've talked to in the last seven days have said to me,
00:29:06Hulk Hogan is the real people's champion.
00:29:09And I totally agree with that assessment.
00:29:14Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you Hulk Hogan.
00:29:21Sunday, October 24th, Halloween Havoc in the entertainment cap of the world, Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:29:27Hogan gets to reclaim the glory and reclaim the belt from Sting.
00:29:34And don't forget, next Monday night, Hogan teams with Bret Hart.
00:29:40Ric Flair, and guess who, Tony?
00:29:42Driving down the face.
00:29:44Got it.
00:29:44Rex Luger.
00:29:45Got it.
00:29:45Sting.
00:29:47What a six-man match that's going to be.
00:29:52Six world champions, six of the biggest names in the sport.
00:29:57I can't wait to watch Thursday Night Thunder, see what's going to happen there.
00:30:09That is live from Northern Virginia, by the way.
00:30:13We advance down into the Virginia Waterfront, and here it comes, the red and the yellow.
00:30:20All right, Hulk Hogan here in Cincinnati, certainly the consensus of fans here and
00:30:36around the world that what happened a week ago last night was an absolute travesty.
00:30:41However, you have the opportunity to regain that heavyweight title five weeks from now in
00:30:49Las Vegas, Nevada at Halloween Havoc.
00:30:51You're going to be beating Sting.
00:30:52Well, you know, Vegas is on the tip of my tongue, brother.
00:30:55But here in Cincinnati town, it's nice to see the red and yellow running wild, brother.
00:31:02Now, as we run down the list of priorities, the wrestling business ain't for no stinking crybabies.
00:31:13Number one priority is business.
00:31:15Sting, man, I'm not impressed.
00:31:18You've got my world heavyweight title, and come Halloween Havoc, I'm going to train,
00:31:24say a prayer, and then I'm going to kick your ass.
00:31:27That's the bottom line.
00:31:28All right, Hulk Hogan, I don't have to tell you, this thing has become tremendously personal.
00:31:36This guy, along with Lex Luger, not only tried to take the belt, but they tried to end your career.
00:31:42When you talk about personal, I got a real long list, and it goes like this.
00:31:47Three strikes, you're out.
00:31:49You hit me with a bat, that's not too cool.
00:31:52But when I saw what you did to the hitman, but when you shot him with a low shot, Luger,
00:31:58you took his teeth out, you busted him up real bad, that was strike two.
00:32:03And then tonight, with the love of all these people on the side, I saw you try to take out Ric Flair.
00:32:10As far as I'm concerned, that was strike number three.
00:32:14And with God on our side, the championship committee put together six world champions at one time.
00:32:22Page, Sting, Luger, that's right, me, Flair and the Hitman, next week in Atlanta.
00:32:29That's going to go down.
00:32:30We're going to kick your ass in Atlanta.
00:32:33And as far as I'm concerned, that's just a setup for Sting and Halloween Havoc, dude.
00:32:39All right, I never thought I'd see you today, but apparently everything is kosher between you,
00:32:44Ric Flair, and Bret the Hitman Hart.
00:32:46Well, let me straighten that out right now.
00:32:49I never thought in my wildest dreams with the Hitman shooting all over the world,
00:32:54the internet, the newspapers, that him and I had anything in common, but we do.
00:33:01I never thought in my wildest dreams with Ric Flair running wild in Hulkamania,
00:33:08dominating the universe.
00:33:09We'd have something in common, but we do.
00:33:13And that is next week in Atlanta, when Bret Hart,
00:33:17Hulk Hogan, and Ric Flair take Steve Luger and Diamond Dallas Page and kick your ass.
00:33:23And what you're going to do because of Halloween Havoc?
00:33:27I'm going to kick your ass too, Stinger.
00:33:29All right, I'm going to see another one here in Cincinnati at the first star center.
00:33:36Hulk Hogan absolutely looking forward to one week from tonight in Atlanta,
00:33:42Georgia in that big six man tag.
00:33:46My, whoa, Cody, back to you.
00:33:51This is the one and only WCW Monday Night here on.
00:33:54More, what's the next?
00:33:56When we come back, it's Hogan ready for stage.
00:33:58Just about time for our next match, and we'll be for the WCW Cruiserweight title.
00:34:09But before we go there, take a look at the Insane Clown Posse.
00:34:13Before we go there, a tag team match from last week.
00:34:16The West Hollywood Blondes against the ICP.
00:34:19Remember?
00:34:22Nothing like brotherly love, wouldn't you say, Braint?
00:34:25I don't know why my brothers like that.
00:34:26Let him, come on.
00:34:29Here's the double team.
00:34:30I already saw him do it, Hogan.
00:34:32One has pigtails though.
00:34:34Oh!
00:34:35Double DDT.
00:34:36Cover, one, two.
00:34:39Knees out of it.
00:34:41I thought he had him.
00:34:42Shaggy kicks out of the nick of time.
00:34:51And now another double team, this time Loni up on top.
00:34:54The double team suplex.
00:34:56Suplex.
00:34:58Who hit who?
00:34:59Lenny hit very hard, and Lenny's gonna be pinned.
00:35:12You know, you may not like their music, although you may, a lot of people do, but you cannot
00:35:21deny that the guys have made phenomenal strides in wrestling.
00:35:28Shaggy 2-Done, the crown on the right, Vampiro and Malajay got with him.
00:35:35This is for the World Cruiserweight title.
00:35:39That's where the crown's everywhere, aren't you?
00:35:44You aren't kidding me.
00:35:45Get him, son of a...
00:35:50They're dangerous.
00:35:54Now bring in the blondes, the West Hollywood blondes, of course, Lenny and Loni.
00:36:08The brother combination, who I guess one could say that held on to the Cruiserweight strap a little
00:36:18bit longer than most people would have thought.
00:36:21Not me.
00:36:23Let's make the world go round, baby.
00:36:26Oh, they got count.
00:36:27Yeah, I know that.
00:36:28They're a smidgen.
00:36:28Peculiar, but they have count.
00:36:30Somebody's going down.
00:36:30Peculiar is an understatement for these two men.
00:36:35Everybody needs a blow pop.
00:36:36What's your favorite blow pop, grape or lemon lime?
00:36:40Don't like blow pops, but anyway, that's not a point to talk about during this match.
00:36:45Didn't mean to try, I'm sorry.
00:36:46Should be a very interesting, if nothing else, singles competition, and I say singles because
00:37:02you never know what's going to happen with the ICP around here.
00:37:05No, no, you don't.
00:37:07You and I could be in the match in 10 minutes.
00:37:09It's a member of Thursday Thunder in Norfolk, Virginia, and the Norfolk Sculpt there is going
00:37:14to be Evan Courageous winning at the end of this, but they see their Shaggy T-Dope or Lenny here.
00:37:20IT's a standing screen.
00:37:28You can ICP.
00:37:29We can ICP.
00:37:43ICP and the Insane Cloud Posse ready to go.
00:37:47And I say that because there's the cruiserweight belt,
00:37:51the very decorated, very unique cruiserweight belt.
00:37:55Melody's been rad for a number of years here,
00:37:59and he gets more obnoxious as the routes go by, I think.
00:38:05I like the cars he makes up.
00:38:07You like those signs?
00:38:09I like the things.
00:38:09Yeah, it's nice.
00:38:11And I like the way Lenny decorated the belt.
00:38:14Hold on.
00:38:15Hold on.
00:38:16Look who's in the ring.
00:38:18That's a fan in the ring.
00:38:20And he was dead that time.
00:38:22And he's being handcuffed.
00:38:25Come on, come on, get him out of there.
00:38:29Come on.
00:38:30This is so dangerous.
00:38:33Take it out of here, stay out of the ring.
00:38:38Come on, give me a pack of cigarettes.
00:38:41Wait a minute.
00:38:43Well, that's it.
00:38:45That's it.
00:38:46I've had it.
00:38:51Lonnie.
00:38:52That's it.
00:38:54My brother's coming.
00:38:59Look at him with this dollar.
00:39:01Talking about a tantrum.
00:39:03We have seen, that's the same kid we have seen for the last five weeks get involved here.
00:39:08That's why he said, you better give him some cigarettes.
00:39:10He's gonna need him to ride the screws tonight.
00:39:11He's going to jail.
00:39:13He's going to go to jail.
00:39:17He may take them to the net house first.
00:39:20Get whoever you are.
00:39:23Get some help.
00:39:23He has one-two and this match gets underway.
00:39:27The West Hollywood Blondes, the Sunset Boys.
00:39:32Did you see what that very spoiled young man was saying
00:39:36as he was getting out?
00:39:37He said something about his brother was coming,
00:39:40his brother, wait till my brother gets here.
00:39:42Did you understand what that means?
00:39:43I don't know what that means.
00:39:44I heard him say that, though.
00:39:45I couldn't make heads or tails.
00:39:46That's what he means.
00:39:47Maybe his brother's gonna come bailing out of jail or something.
00:39:48Who could he be talking about?
00:39:50Well, hey, it's just another case
00:39:53of a fan who shouldn't be in the ring.
00:39:55Another wannabe.
00:39:57Oh, good move by Lenny, cover one, two,
00:40:00and almost won the match at the end.
00:40:02Can you believe he actually put his party on TV?
00:40:05Remember at Ulster?
00:40:07Weeks ago.
00:40:09Didn't that guy show up in Long Island, too?
00:40:11Yes.
00:40:13He attacked Lenny.
00:40:15It's bizarre, fans, I can tell you that.
00:40:17But his brother's coming back to the match one, two.
00:40:21As the Cruiserweight title contestant here,
00:40:24and in the interim here, Lenny's looking pretty good here, Brandon.
00:40:28Well, he's a talented athlete.
00:40:29There's no doubt about that.
00:40:30Peek tails and all.
00:40:34Pick up.
00:40:36Check it out.
00:40:40Send him down with a bulldog.
00:40:42And makes a cup.
00:40:43Couldn't win it.
00:40:44No, Lenny kicks away.
00:40:45And Loni almost jumped out of his jeans that time.
00:40:49He thought that Lenny was in trouble.
00:40:51Back in the corner, Shaggy with the multicolored hair.
00:40:57Maneuvered around here by Lenny, and Shaggy's gonna try to sunset flipping down.
00:41:03No!
00:41:04It's a running dagger ball!
00:41:05How about that?
00:41:06One!
00:41:07Two!
00:41:08He's got!
00:41:09No, he's not got!
00:41:10Two!
00:41:11He's out.
00:41:12Thought he had him.
00:41:14Two!
00:41:15One!
00:41:16Three!
00:41:17Two!
00:41:18Ducky Long!
00:41:19Shaggy!
00:41:20Rolls forward and riddles him out!
00:41:23Two!
00:41:24And Lenny's showing us a lot of escaping ability here, Brain.
00:41:29Wouldn't you agree?
00:41:30I think Loni's gonna have a heart attack out there.
00:41:32Up!
00:41:33Loni's got Shaggy at him momentarily.
00:41:36Ooh!
00:41:37Oh, man!
00:41:38Pull the feet, jaw, hit the ring apron that time.
00:41:42And now here comes Vampiro and Violet J.
00:41:53Loni's gonna get that blow pop shoved up his...
00:41:56Nostrils.
00:41:57Yeah, his nose.
00:41:58Meanwhile, one, two, Shaggy...
00:42:01Oh!
00:42:02Hit Loni, who nailed Vampiro and Violet J.
00:42:05And in the ring on Game 9.
00:42:07He's done.
00:42:09Lenny Lane escapes with a win and is still the Cruiserweight champs.
00:42:16That was a great win.
00:42:17He had a...
00:42:18He was in a lot of trouble there for a few minutes.
00:42:20He really was in the West Hollywood block.
00:42:22One more time!
00:42:23One more time!
00:42:24One more time!
00:42:25Bobby, we still got it!
00:42:26Bobby, we still got it!
00:42:27Congratulations, guys.
00:42:28It's insane.
00:42:29Now it's our 10-10, 3-2-1 replay, Brain.
00:42:32Look at this.
00:42:33I didn't think the Clowns would have a chance.
00:42:35He took it right to him the whole match.
00:42:37Lenny was very lucky to secure a win here without the help of Lenny.
00:42:42Watch this move.
00:42:43With Loni.
00:42:44Loni, Lenny, I get confused.
00:42:45You sure do.
00:42:46Go ahead.
00:42:47If I get confused, okay.
00:42:48Well, I don't.
00:42:49Go ahead.
00:42:50I'm trying to!
00:42:51Will you shut up?
00:42:52The replay.
00:42:53Go ahead and call it.
00:42:54The Clown is down!
00:42:55He's got him!
00:42:56He thought he had the 1-3.
00:42:57Knocks Loni off the apron.
00:42:59He takes out two men right there.
00:43:01But get a load of this.
00:43:03When he goes in, he gets the 1, 2, and 3.
00:43:06On one of the insane clowns.

00:43:12Who's who?
00:43:14Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to WCW Monday Nitro.
00:43:17Earlier, we had two more semifinalists in the search for the brand new Nitro Girls.
00:43:23The competition continues.
00:43:25Let's take a special look.
00:43:55We go back to the beat with the sound of the street.

00:43:59In your face.

00:44:05The two girls selected from the Cincinnati area.
00:44:07For more information, call 1-888-787-0395.
00:44:11The game continues next week in Atlanta.
00:44:13Biloxi, Kansas City, and Philadelphia.
00:44:15And then winding up in Phoenix, Arizona.
00:44:17As we take you to the ring in Mean Gene, Okerland.
00:44:20You know, Tony, Bobby the Brain, Heenan hounding me for Marge Schott's telephone number.
00:44:25No way, Heenan.
00:44:26And ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time brings new meaning to the word bite me.
00:44:33We talked about him out in the West this past week in Missoula and places like Sheridan.
00:44:39Please welcome to the Queen City of the North, Rick Steiner.
00:44:48Rick Steiner, the former world television champion.
00:44:52The DFG, the dog-faced gremlin now.
00:44:54He no longer has the belt, but that is not to say this man's not tough.
00:45:00One of the toughest ever in this sport, Bobby.
00:45:04Tough is spelled S-T-E-I-N-E-R.
00:45:07Him and his brother, they're just bad, bad men.
00:45:13Gifted athletes, super tough.
00:45:15And I tell you though, this man in singles competition has dominated as never before.
00:45:22And think of this man's great background and how far he's come since then.
00:45:29Gene, it's all yours, buddy.
00:45:31Thank you, buddy.
00:45:32This man singly has been one of the most formidable singles performers in World Championship Wrestling
00:45:38during the decade of the 90s.
00:45:40Your brother has been conspicuous, Rick Steiner, by his absence over the past couple of weeks.
00:45:47But certainly, you have got a lot of singles opportunities ahead of you.
00:45:52Gene!
00:45:53There's only two men that can walk the road.
00:46:08And if you ain't a Steiner, you ain't got a chance.
00:46:13You see, I fear no man because I am the man.
00:46:18There ain't no man that can out-wrestle me or out-fight me.
00:46:25But I have respect for two men.
00:46:30One is Sid Vicious because he's gonna take Goldberg's head off.
00:46:35The second is a man I've known all my life.
00:46:43You know him as Big Papa Pup, my brother.
00:46:47He's here!
00:46:49My word!
00:46:52Look at that arm!
00:46:57Does he look good, huh, Gene?
00:46:59You have come and cut me as big as a house.
00:47:02And you're never Gene!
00:47:04Tony, I don't know what to make of this.
00:47:09It's been a long time since Scott Steiner, Big Papa Pup, has come to the ring.
00:47:15But here he is.
00:47:16And oh, does he look magnificent.
00:47:19Oh my God!
00:47:20Look at those triceps and triceps.
00:47:23Big Papa Pup back here tonight on Nitro.
00:47:26And I'm gonna ask you the same question that I get on my hotline.
00:47:31My inside sources tell me you've been making a movie in Hollywood.
00:47:35What about it?
00:47:37Well, Mean Gene, it's really none of your business what I've been doing.
00:47:41The gigantic freak is here.
00:47:44The man with the largest arms in the world is back.
00:47:48And I need to ask you a question.
00:47:50Have you ever seen an arm bigger than that before?
00:47:54That's a big one.
00:47:56You know, Mean Gene, I was watching SportsCenter the other night,
00:48:00and they were talking about people breaking records.
00:48:03Mark McGuire hitting home runs, Sammy Sosa hitting home runs.
00:48:08But I've been chasing a record on my own.
00:48:11I've been chasing a record of the Big Dipper.
00:48:14I've been chasing a record of Will Chamberlain, who has claimed he has laid down 20,000 women.
00:48:22And the rate that I've been going, come January, I'll meet that milestone.
00:48:32So what I need to know is, any of you freaks out there want to help me break that record, meet me in the back.
00:48:41Any of you hoochers out there, want to let me push the Pink Pony into the middle of the night,
00:48:48and scream until you call me the Big Bad Booty Daddy, meet me in the back.
00:48:54Cuz all my freaks know there's nothing finer than Scott Steiner, and nobody pushes it better than the Big Papa.
00:49:05So this goes to all my freaks out there.
00:49:10Big Papa Puff, if you hook up, holler if you hear me.
00:49:15Now, Mean Gene, you know, when I left, I was the United States Champion, and I was the leader of the NWO.
00:49:28Well, last week, I turned the TV set on, and Hulk Hogan has left the NWO.
00:49:35And he is enjoying the cheers of the fans, and it made me puke yellow and red.
00:49:42And maybe, Hulk Hogan, you forgot our motto.
00:49:47That is, you don't leave the NWO until we tell you.
00:49:51So I don't care what God you've been praying to, but you better pray, he strikes me down.
00:49:58Because you can take all the vitamins you want.
00:50:01You can say all the prayers you want.
00:50:04But by the end of the day, you'll be kissing my ass.
00:50:08Because nobody leaves the NWO without paying a price.
00:50:15So Hulk Hogan, remember this.
00:50:19The man with the largest arms is coming after you, and hell's coming with me.
00:50:27Easy, easy.
00:50:33It's not like 3,000 hits.
00:50:35We're gonna be back with more NWO after that.
00:50:37Where'd Windy go?
00:50:39Wow.

00:52:41Mayhem available on PlayStation Nintendo 64 from Electronic Arts.
00:52:46And it's a video game where you can wrestle in many different locales other than the ring brain
00:52:52in the parking lot, in the dressing room.
00:52:55And I understand ten other locations.
00:52:58I may be wrong there, but I believe ten other locales, twelve in all.
00:53:01That's a mild name for it.
00:53:02Yeah, that fights do not have to stay in the ring.
00:53:05Our good friends of Electronic Arts bringing you WCW Mayhem available for your Nintendo 64 PlayStation.
00:53:12The countdown is on. Can you believe it?
00:53:15A little bit more than three days now.
00:53:18All right, Canyon and Booker T to go at it.
00:53:20The world tag team champs.
00:53:22And Booker T showing the world what he's made up.
00:53:25The former champion over and over again in singles competition.
00:53:28Television champion.
00:53:29Really, during the time that Booker T's TV Ray were apart.
00:53:35These two men certainly made a name for themselves.
00:53:40Booker T did at least in singles competition.
00:53:43Booker T's never looked bad.
00:53:45No, never.
00:53:46No.
00:53:47And his brother, he was ahead of the black and white NWO for a while.
00:53:50So they made history.
00:53:52Yes, they have the world tag team champions on nine occasions.
00:53:56And their first title reign as world tag team champs was in 1994.
00:54:01So think about it.
00:54:02Nine times in five years.
00:54:05What a milestone that is.
00:54:10Chris Canyon of the jersey triad.
00:54:14One of the toughest men in our sport.
00:54:16A former tag team champion in his own right.
00:54:20Ever been to the jersey shore?
00:54:22Yes, I have.
00:54:23Tough customers down there.
00:54:24Yes, they are.
00:54:25Booker T running.
00:54:27Four arms shot in the head.
00:54:29Of Canyon full upright twist.
00:54:32That did it.
00:54:34That did it.
00:54:35It is right.
00:54:36Booker T out with Canyon.
00:54:41Looks like he's taking Canyon for a walk.
00:54:43Good reversal by Canyon, sending Booker T in.
00:54:50We've been talking so much about the various venues for WCW Monday Nitro.
00:54:55None bigger than the Phillips Arena next Monday when we are live.
00:54:59Yeah.
00:55:00We are live and only on TNT, especially with Hogan and Ric Flair for the first time ever will be one team.
00:55:09You heard what Hogan said talking about Sting earlier, talking about the six man next week across the ring.
00:55:16Sting, Lex Luger and Diamond Dallas Page, the world champion in his partners in crime, so to speak.
00:55:22And it's a Nitro, so who knows what's gonna happen in Hotliner.
00:55:27It's one of our biggest ever.
00:55:28I don't think there's any question about that.
00:55:30From the middle ropes.
00:55:32Great move.
00:55:33A great outside in superplex that time.
00:55:35One, two, and a two count.
00:55:37Two.
00:55:38Great execution by Canyon.
00:55:39Hard work.
00:55:40Dubbed many months ago, years ago, the innovator of offense in our sport.
00:55:43And you can see that he works very diligently on his craft and perfecting new moves.
00:55:49And that's another one.
00:55:54Cover.
00:55:58Two.
00:55:59No, Sarah only got a two count.
00:56:00Stevie Ray on the outside just staring him down.
00:56:04Booker T ducks a second time.
00:56:06He's got Canyon Hunt.
00:56:08Look at the face of Chris Canyon.
00:56:10And he knows there's nowhere to go but down.
00:56:13And real quick.
00:56:14Big Stevie Ray.
00:56:15The Harlem Heat.
00:56:17Dominated tag team, and you're seeing why.
00:56:20Because this phenomenal sidekick.
00:56:23One, two, three, two, three.
00:56:29Into the gut.
00:56:30That's the setup for the axe kick.
00:56:32Here comes.
00:56:33Oh, yeah.
00:56:38He's ready.
00:56:40Looks like one of those great football teams.
00:56:42You know what he's got.
00:56:43You know it's coming.
00:56:44You just don't know how to stop it.
00:56:45And he's up on top.
00:56:47That's how you stop it.
00:56:49That's exactly how you stop it for the missile drop kick.
00:56:51And Canyon put the brakes on Booker T that time.
00:56:56Trying to send him in.
00:57:01He's holding on.
00:57:02Booker T's got him up.
00:57:05Throws him down.
00:57:09Now Booker T is perched.
00:57:11And Canyon is down.
00:57:15Booker T continues to sizzle in singles competition.
00:57:24Still to come.
00:57:25Ric Flair, Diana Battles Page, live tonight on Nitro.
00:57:35Watch the horror unfold as Slim Jam presents WCW's Halloween Havoc.
00:57:54Sunday, October 24th, 8 p.m. Eastern.
00:57:56Live and only on pay-per-view.
00:57:58Call your cable or satellite company to order now.
00:58:01Stay right where you are, ladies and gentlemen.
00:58:06A long-awaited one-on-one match is coming up next.
00:58:10The Nature Boy Ric Flair back in the ring against Diamond Dallas Page.
00:58:14It's all for you when we come back after this timeout.
00:58:22Before we get into this match, which should be a barn burner,
00:58:25here at the First Star Center.
00:58:27We want to remind you that next week, our fans in Atlanta.
00:58:33It's the brand new Phillips Arena.
00:58:35It's the grand opening weekend, your first time in there.
00:58:38And you can see World Championship Wrestling on Monday Nitro.
00:58:42But not only can you just see World Championship Wrestling,
00:58:44you can see the man you're looking at right now, Diamond Dallas Page,
00:58:48with Lex Luger and Sting, three world champions,
00:58:53one Sting, the current champion,
00:58:55against the unbelievable, mind-boggling trio of...
00:59:00Hold on a second!
00:59:01There's that waiting!
00:59:02The man you're watching right now, Ric Flair, Hogan, and Bret Hart.
00:59:07The Nature Boy Ric Flair has returned to action, and...
00:59:14In a big way!
00:59:15And there's no safety rails gonna stand in his way.
00:59:17This will never make it to the ring, Tony.
00:59:22And who cares?
00:59:23Right, he's going upstairs, parking lot.
00:59:25That's the way the Nature Boy is.
00:59:27You wanted to fight, Paige, you got one, pal.
00:59:29This is the frustration that Ric Flair has endured,
00:59:33especially after he won his Sting so badly, and after what Paige did tonight.
00:59:39Out of the stands, unannounced, and brutally, cowardly, I might add,
00:59:44attacked Ric Flair.
00:59:50And Diamond Dallas Page, I believe, is injured already.
00:59:53I believe already a welt is right above his left eye.
00:59:59He's just saying, if you get the first one in, you got the advantage.
01:00:02First getting a lot in first.
01:00:04And Ric Flair is kicking butt and taking names here.
01:00:08I don't think he's taking names.
01:00:10I don't think either.
01:00:11I think he knows the name.
01:00:12He knows the name of the three men who are opposed next week,
01:00:15and the name of the two men will be his partner, Bret Hart.
01:00:19And Hulk Hogan, guess what?
01:00:22What?
01:00:24They've already wiped out David Pinzer's area.
01:00:26I guess it's the broadcast table next.
01:00:31Let's hope you don't see it.
01:00:32Woo!
01:00:33Pinzer's under the ring, I think.
01:00:34No, there they go to the ring.
01:00:37This has been all Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
01:00:42And you think the man can't go?
01:00:48Oh.
01:00:49He can go.
01:00:50All night long.
01:00:52Page.
01:00:53Oh, what a great move by Page.
01:00:55DDP.
01:00:57Oh, you got to say something for him, though.
01:00:58Oh, you do?
01:00:59For real.
01:01:00The beating he took for the caliber of the opponent he has in Ric Flair, he just keeps coming after you.
01:01:09Not just Ric Flair, but an angry Ric Flair.
01:01:12A Flair with purpose.
01:01:14We've seen Flair in so many great title matches, but a Ric Flair who's angry, a Ric Flair who's wrestling with purpose, who has a motive, is the most lethal of them all, guys.
01:01:26I think everybody believes with that.
01:01:33Stopping, pushing on the jaw.
01:01:36And referee Charles Robinson realizes that's Katie Bar the door on this one.
01:01:42Don't ever count Flair out.
01:01:44Nope, not at all.
01:01:45Don't count either.
01:01:46Or Diamond Dallas.
01:01:47Don't count either, man.
01:01:48Physical confrontation, only about three minutes into it.
01:01:52Most of the fight on the floor.
01:01:54And his 40 chairs can pull out of their foundation.
01:02:01Page.
01:02:02Textbook scoop slam that time.
01:02:04Here he goes off of the rubs.
01:02:06Double bag and elbows up.
01:02:08Oh, you're kidding me.
01:02:09It could be Ric Flair like that.
01:02:11Not at all.
01:02:12Good idea, but it didn't work.
01:02:14Not even a good idea.
01:02:15That was arrogance talking right there.
01:02:16You're not gonna, just like you said, Brain, you're not gonna beat Flair like that.
01:02:19But I said it was a good idea.
01:02:20If he did beat Flair with it like that, would you think he'd love to gloat about it?
01:02:24He gave it a shot.
01:02:25Can't deny that.
01:02:26You're right.
01:02:27He gave it a shot.
01:02:28And now the added leverage with almost like a chokehold here.
01:02:33But Charles Robinson looking up.
01:02:36Yeah, a little bit too slow for that.
01:02:39Robinson doing what he needs to do, and that is focus his attention on the point of attack,
01:02:45which is the neck in the chin.
01:02:47I ain't touching you, Williams.
01:02:52Well, we've got some big events going in, too.
01:02:55Now we have him.
01:02:56Oh, yeah.
01:02:57Nothing bigger than Sid Bishes and Goldberg.
01:03:00Sid's gonna play the game his way.
01:03:02Sid says, hey, Goldberg, I'll wrestle you, but you can't touch me until the 24th of October.
01:03:08And one would think that Goldberg's gonna play that game and just buying his time, gonna wait on it.
01:03:13That is one of the biggest announcements of the night.
01:03:15You know about Hogan and Sting, you know about our meet event next week.
01:03:18And we're all enjoying this one.
01:03:20High-impact, one-on-one competition in our future bout here on TNT.
01:03:25Come out with me Saturday in the bucket.
01:03:27We'll go to the $3 Cafe lunch and night for girls.
01:03:30Let's watch this first.
01:03:32Oh!
01:03:35Look at this.
01:03:36Cut him toe, and Flair just getting the best of it here.
01:03:40Took him off his feet.
01:03:42On the side of his boots.
01:03:45A pick-up, Rick Flair, and...
01:03:47Very dangerous move for Flair.
01:03:49Because at any time, DDP could have slapped on the diamond cutter.
01:03:53Well, you know, he's been able to slap it all in so many different ways.
01:03:56I mean, it's a fact that you never know where or when he's gonna hit the diamond cutter.
01:04:00Page rocket.
01:04:03Flair in.
01:04:04Page foot to the gut.
01:04:05Flair spins him around.
01:04:07Oh!
01:04:08Whoa!
01:04:09Whoa!
01:04:10Nothing I can say about that.
01:04:19You saw it.
01:04:20Here's figure four.
01:04:21Right in the middle.
01:04:22Right dead set in the middle.
01:04:24After that low blow uppercut by Flair, the figure four could spell the end of DDP.
01:04:28And Charles Robinson checking in one.
01:04:30Two.
01:04:31He almost got pinned.
01:04:32Well, look at the fight in DDP.
01:04:33That man is holding on what he's been through.
01:04:35Hold, hold.
01:04:36It's world champion Sting.
01:04:38Flair moved out of the way.
01:04:40I'm gonna slap it on him.
01:04:43He's got the figure four on Sting.
01:04:45And Page is trying to get back to his feet.
01:04:48Barely.
01:04:49Oh, no.
01:04:50Luger with that baseball bat.
01:04:51Oh, no.
01:04:52Oh, he jammed the end of it.
01:04:53Right into his solar plexus.
01:04:54Right into the rib cage.
01:04:55And now as the bell sounds, the management throw down.
01:05:06Three men on one.
01:05:07Hogan has come in.
01:05:08Oh, Hogan has come in.
01:05:10Oh, and they whack Hogan on that knee of his.
01:05:14And again.
01:05:15They're gonna destroy the legs of Hogan.
01:05:17Sting unmercifully.
01:05:18Burley attacks Hogan.
01:05:19Do you ever think he sees Sting do something like this, Tony?
01:05:20I would.
01:05:21I did.
01:05:22Flair covered up the leg of Hogan.
01:05:23Next week, their partner's gonna be Bret Hart.
01:05:25But you gotta wonder with the blow that Hart took last week with what's happened to Hogan here tonight, how much the team of Hogan, Bret Hart, and Ric Flair will have against the three men you're looking at right now.
01:05:51Luger's staying and diving down his face.
01:05:53There's only one way to find out.
01:05:55Tune in next Monday, live from Atlanta.
01:05:58And we'll see you Thursday, live on Thunder.
