00:00:00I'll tell you what, whoever they send out there against the Outsiders, they're going to get lit.
00:00:05No doubt.
00:00:09All right, fans, we're back on World Championship Wrestling.
00:00:13What an event this minute.
00:00:15The Outsiders, as we know, getting prepared for their battle,
00:00:19and the specter of Goldberg looms over their shoulder
00:00:23because Goldberg has said they are next.
00:00:25The Outsiders make a very impromptu return to wrestling here later on tonight.
00:00:31What does Goldberg have in store for them, Brain?
00:00:34Oh, I don't know anymore.
00:00:35Wrong man, wrong time, right?
00:00:37Being humiliated by Sid Vicious a week ago, what he did to Sid last night, opening up that cut.
00:00:42Hold on, we're going to go to the back again.
00:00:44Pin one more time here at WCW that I'm through.
00:00:46I'm on the senior tour.
00:00:48Get this, brother.
00:00:49You know, I've been in this business all my life, just like you.
00:00:51All of these guys come to me.
00:00:52They tell me, they call me into the office, they say, I need a personality.
00:00:56I, of all people, need a personality.
00:00:58Come on.
00:00:58Brother, you know what they, oh, they told me, they called me a horn yakker.
00:01:00I don't even know what a horn yakker is.
00:01:03They told me to call little brother.
00:01:05Get him on the phone.
00:01:05Wait a minute.
00:01:06Get him on the phone, find out what a personality is, and not come back until I have one.
00:01:11I'm telling you, something's going to happen here.
00:01:12They're bending it, and finally it's going to break.
00:01:14And you know what I'm talking about?
00:01:15Let's take a look at this.
00:01:24Oh, don't do it.
00:01:24Don't do it.
00:01:25Don't do it.
00:01:25Don't do it.
00:01:25Don't do it.
00:01:25Don't do it.
00:01:26Yeah, right there.
00:01:27Ah.
00:01:28Yes, yes, yes.
00:01:30Let's get some of this on this.
00:01:32You know, you really shouldn't be wrestling tonight.
00:01:35I don't have a choice.
00:01:41Oh, jeez.
00:01:42Did you come?
00:01:43Let's go.
00:01:45There you see it.
00:01:47Bret Hart, after we eavesdropped a little bit with Bret Armstrong and Kurt Henning, need
00:01:51to talk about that.
00:01:51But Bret Hart, obviously, he said, I have no choice.
00:01:55And that echoes, I'm sure, the sentiments of every wrestler in this tournament.
00:01:58There is only one world championship, and you do what it takes to get to the title shot,
00:02:05to get to the final match.
00:02:07Bret Hart has a very, very uphill battle tonight.
00:02:10We know what happened in the hands of this man, the total package, last night.
00:02:13But he exploited the ankle injury that, or the shin injury, or whatever it is, the lower
00:02:20part of the leg that he aggravated on Monday.
00:02:25Bret Hart could not go any further, and the total package defeated Bret Hart last night.
00:02:30But does that stop Bret Hart?
00:02:31Absolutely not.
00:02:32Bret Hart tonight is going to go in the ring against none other than Goldberg.
00:02:37And not just Goldberg, but Goldberg Possessed.
00:02:42Well, no, Goldberg is going to be wrestling a one-legged Bret Hart.
00:02:45Yeah, Goldberg Possessed.
00:02:47Goldberg, like we've never seen it.
00:02:49That is coming up.
00:02:51Huge match.
00:02:52One of our biggest matches ever.
00:02:54As you know, you've got to tape up.
00:02:55You've got to ice up.
00:02:56You've just got to do it.
00:02:57Because there may not be another chance for him.
00:03:00They've got to take advantage of every, every opportunity.
00:03:05Here's a former world champion who has a chance to regain the glory.
00:03:09And the step one is right here.
00:03:12As the total package with Elizabeth is going to face Rick Steiner.
00:03:18Okay, as we look at the close down for another total package, we're going to take you back
00:03:22to some of what went down last night at Halloween Avenue.
00:03:28That's what I was told.
00:03:34He put together.
00:03:42Okay, there they are.
00:03:44Courtesy of WCW Magazine.
00:03:46Bret Hart, we know he's a fighter.
00:03:47He gave it everything.
00:03:48But in the end brain, too much total package.
00:03:51Here's the turning point.
00:03:52He falls all the way over the top rope on the floor and lands on that leg again.
00:03:57And he was doing pretty good up until that point.
00:03:58He was keeping Luger away from his leg.
00:04:01But after he hurt his leg by hitting the floor, he concentrated on staying in that ring.
00:04:06He didn't want to tap up.
00:04:07The pain was so hard, he couldn't help himself.
00:04:09He had to tap up.
00:04:10And I've never seen him give up before in my life.
00:04:12He tapped out on the half grab.
00:04:14And the total package went right for the weakness.
00:04:16And fans, that was 24 hours ago.
00:04:19Just think of the pain he's going through right now.
00:04:21As a matter of fact, we saw him last night coming to the MTM Grand.
00:04:25And he had a little bit of a limp.
00:04:27Although it wasn't that pronounced, but tonight when he arrived, we saw earlier, it is very pronounced.
00:04:33And even you heard Danny Young back there, he shouldn't even wrestle tonight.
00:04:36Well, you know, you've had an injury, I imagine, in your life.
00:04:38It's always worse the next day.
00:04:40All right, courtesy of WCW Magazine, Rick Steiner, the Dogface Gremlin, and Chris Benoit met in a one-on-one matchup for the world television.
00:04:50Now, this was as physical of a TV title bout that you'll ever find.
00:04:54Rick Steiner retained, or actually, the throne of Benoit to become the champion.
00:04:59But here's one of the stories, and the chair got involved last night.
00:05:03The Dogface Gremlin went down.
00:05:06And the Dogface Gremlin walked away with the belt.
00:05:10And he walked away with the belt, courtesy of some help by one Dean Malenko.
00:05:16Everything's just becoming a part here.
00:05:18Everything's unraveling.
00:05:20It's great.
00:05:20Dean Malenko came into the ring with a chair and hit Chris Benoit, his close friend in the head.
00:05:27And speaking of hitting people in the head, here comes Jeff Jarrett for the second time tonight.
00:05:32Second time looting the guitar.
00:05:36And he storms right over to the ring side.
00:05:39What is it?
00:05:44Sit down, Mr. Jarrett.
00:05:47Sit down and enjoy yourself.
00:05:49Bobby, I know you understand this.
00:05:50Tony, you might not.
00:05:51I want a public apology from Lex Luthor.
00:05:54I think you deserve it.
00:05:56Absolutely.
00:05:57Tony, I did not take Liz out.
00:05:59And Lex knows it.
00:06:00You know it.
00:06:01Bobby knows it.
00:06:02I didn't do it.
00:06:03This is WCW.
00:06:05Why would I hit a woman?
00:06:07Why do you have to hit a woman?
00:06:08That point taken.
00:06:10Like I told him, Chuck Berry has a guitar.
00:06:12They're not yelling at him.
00:06:13There was no sign of you.
00:06:14There was no photos of you.
00:06:15There was no videotape of you.
00:06:17Hold on, hold on.
00:06:17No fingerprints.
00:06:18No DNA.
00:06:19You think I fell off the turnip truck?
00:06:21Listen, Tony, why do I have to hit a woman?
00:06:23Look, we saw your stick in the WWF.
00:06:25We know that it's not below you to whack a woman.
00:06:27This isn't the WWF.
00:06:28This is the WCW.
00:06:30And I am the chosen one.
00:06:33Isn't that a damn?
00:06:34There's nothing you can do about it.
00:06:36None of these people do a damn thing about it.
00:06:38I mean, if he wanted to take Elizabeth out, he'd take her out with her hanging on his arm.
00:06:41Wouldn't be laying her on the floor.
00:06:42I've got some business to clear up with Liz right there.
00:06:44I think you should.
00:06:45No, I'm going to clear it up.
00:06:46I think you should.
00:06:46I'm going to talk this out once and for all.
00:06:52The tournament match goes on.
00:06:54This is not for the TV title, but for the tournament.
00:06:56And meanwhile, watch out.
00:06:56Liz is walking.
00:06:58She stumbles over her own feet, trying to get away from Jared, who just walks right up to her.
00:07:02And now she cannot get out.
00:07:03Is he trying to apologize or is he trying to know what's going on here?
00:07:11But the total package has him.
00:07:13Oh, no.
00:07:13Wrong man.
00:07:14He went to hit the total package apparently and he got Rick Steiner.
00:07:18The wrong man.
00:07:20And he split him up at that time.
00:07:23And he runs.
00:07:27Both made it out of the ring.
00:07:29Oh, he's wobbly.
00:07:32But he got right up.
00:07:33See how tough that man is.
00:07:35He's going after Jared apparently.
00:07:36Look at this.
00:07:37Just shake it off.
00:07:38You've been hit before.
00:07:39Bigger things than that.
00:07:40They better get back in the ring.
00:07:41The referee starting the ten count.
00:07:43They're both going to be counted out here.
00:07:44He's more concerned with the health of Liz.
00:07:50Referee is up to six and he's trying to help Liz out.
00:07:53Elizabeth.
00:07:56He's got to get back in the ring.
00:07:58And he's back in in a hurry.
00:08:01He won the match.
00:08:02He's, that's it, ten count, he's the winner.
00:08:09He helped her out, but then all of a sudden he shot into the ring like he was shot out of the cannon.
00:08:14Well, she can wait to get out.
00:08:15This is more important.
00:08:17She seems a little bit put out.
00:08:19A little bit put out.
00:08:20She looks a lot put out to me.
00:08:21Well, she was dropped on her derriere.
00:08:23Big deal.
00:08:24She fell down.
00:08:25We did it.
00:08:26We did it, baby.
00:08:32Hey, we should not do it.
00:08:33The animals tonight here on night.
00:08:34Yo, Mad Mad Mike, hold up right now.
00:08:36You want to know something?
00:08:37I'm in no mood to be talking about nothing else after what those punk Mark Busters did to Tory.
00:08:42But you know what?
00:08:43You want to know about the tournament?
00:08:44About me and Kidman?
00:08:45It's all grave.
00:08:46It's all about the cheddar.
00:08:47Business is business.
00:08:48Never personal between me and my dog.
00:08:51Tenay, so help me God.
00:08:53If the revolution even harbors one hair on Tory's head, I will personally end all their careers.
00:09:02Trouble is here, boys.
00:09:03I'm telling you, the fun is about to begin.
00:09:07Bump Daddy's got it all figured out.
00:09:15You look at the crippler, Chris Benoit, who came in with one purpose tonight, payback on D. Malenko.
00:09:22Malenko made a challenge to a last man standing match, and that one is on the horizon.
00:09:27We have just found out the rules.
00:09:29When one man cannot answer a ten count, cannot get up.
00:09:32The other man will be declared the winner.
00:09:36It is a fight to the fittings.
00:09:37Malenko and Benoit tonight here on Monday Night Street.
00:09:40The last man standing.
00:09:42The last man standing.
00:09:43Can't answer the ten count.
00:09:44That's the way it works.
00:09:46Here's one of the more intriguing matchups in the first round of this tournament to crown a WCW champion.
00:09:52And that is two members of the Filthy Animals will go at it.
00:09:59Kidman and Conan.
00:10:00A lot of marbles at stake.
00:10:04Some quick reminders for you.
00:10:06Kidman's in as we're awaiting the arrival of Conan.
00:10:09Monday Night Road next Monday is at the Target Center in Minneapolis.
00:10:13Get your tickets to the box office and all, Ticketmaster.
00:10:15That's next Monday, November 1st.
00:10:17The following week, Monday, November 8th, in Indianapolis at the brand-new Consiglio Fieldhouse.
00:10:22Tickets available at the Market Square Arena.
00:10:24Box office and Ticketmaster.
00:10:25And then at the brand-new hotel arena on Monday, November 15th, it's Monday Night Road in Little Rock, Arkansas.
00:10:32Tickets for box office and all Ticketmaster outlets.
00:10:34A lot of action.
00:10:36A lot of action.
00:10:37A lot of things to keep up with.
00:10:38Bring your earmuffs next Monday.
00:10:40Look for Minneapolis?
00:10:42No.
00:10:43There's no heat in the room.
00:10:44Stupid.
00:10:44All right, here we go.
00:10:48You heard Eddie Guerrero in the comments that they're still very concerned, and they still have not.
00:10:52I mean, where's Tori, right?
00:10:53What are they doing with her?
00:10:55What is a group of people called the Filthy Animals doing with that woman?
00:11:00Watch out.
00:11:00Snapmare takeover.
00:11:02It's the revolution.
00:11:02I know.
00:11:03I'm asking, what is she doing with the Filthy Animals?
00:11:05Why would she be with them?
00:11:07She must be something wrong with her mind.
00:11:10She must be an animal, too.
00:11:11You know, look at this.
00:11:16Toe to toe.
00:11:18These are family members, so to speak.
00:11:22And Conan just leveled Kidman.
00:11:24Yeah, but what is at stake, Tony?
00:11:28Opportunity to become WCW champion of the world.
00:11:31Half these guys would stab their own mothers in the back.
00:11:36Kidman comes away with a power bomb and almost pins.
00:11:40Would you agree?
00:11:41Yeah, I would.
00:11:42I really would.
00:11:44Boy, that last night was a very bizarre night.
00:11:48That time, Kidman nailed the referee.
00:11:52Kidman smeared.
00:11:53I mean, he just head-butted Billy Shepard.
00:11:56Oh, out of the wagon.
00:11:57Here comes the heat.
00:11:58Oh, out of heat.
00:12:00I guess entry the call.
00:12:01From what Billy Kidman said to them earlier tonight.
00:12:08Remember what he said.
00:12:09And here comes the World Tag Team champions.
00:12:11Oh!
00:12:13They punched both of them.
00:12:15Well, the Heat are two guys you don't want to mess with.
00:12:19You don't want to call them out.
00:12:20Eight-level both of them, and there's no referee here at all.
00:12:24The Heat have probably got a shot.
00:12:25Here comes the other broke out.
00:12:26And he's punching the rib cage.
00:12:28Ray Mysterio Jr. coming out.
00:12:30And there's a fight in the entryway.
00:12:37And in the ring, Kidman rolls over and pips Conan.
00:12:46Kidman took advantage of Harlepins.
00:12:48You have to.
00:12:49Oh, I guess you have to.
00:12:50You have to.
00:12:51They're good.
00:12:52They're good, and they're getting better.
00:12:53Now he tries to consult Conan, and Conan's pretty angry here.
00:12:58Relax.
00:12:59Regroup.
00:13:00Eddie Guerrero will get them together again.
00:13:04I don't know if there's going to be any regrouping here or not.
00:13:06The fact is, Kidman goes on.
00:13:08Conan's out of the tournament.
00:13:10Look at Eddie taking charge.
00:13:12He's been with family fights before.
00:13:14Believe me, the Guerrero family.
00:13:16It's the fight before dinner, during dinner, and after dinner.
00:13:21Hey, what are you guys doing?
00:13:25So much familia.
00:13:27We're family.
00:13:28The fight isn't in here.
00:13:30It's out there with those punks.
00:13:33Hey, you're right.
00:13:34Billy, first we can't find Tory.
00:13:37Then we're worried about some stupid title.
00:13:39These two punk mark busters took our titles last night.
00:13:43So I don't know which one of you two got toxic shock,
00:13:46but you must be crazy running up on us.
00:13:49So you know what?
00:13:50Put the tag team titles on the line, and let's do this here in Phoenix tonight.
00:14:00Run up on us now.
00:14:02Run up on us now.
00:14:04You can't kick no dust.
00:14:06They've agreed to that, and on top of all, there's a title match.
00:14:09Arriba la raza!
00:14:10Arriba la raza!
00:14:11Arriba la raza!
00:14:12And Buffs coming towards the ring!
00:14:15Who do you think they've got to suffer against?
00:14:20Probably the Road Warriors.
00:14:22Why, is it a drinking contest?
00:14:23No, they couldn't beat us.
00:14:25Couldn't beat us.
00:14:26Kangaroos.
00:14:27It's the assassins.
00:14:28I think it's Butch and Luke.
00:14:31I don't know who it is.
00:14:32I'm not really worried about, God, my knee's killing me.
00:14:35My feelings are hurt.
00:14:37This is bogus.
00:14:38This is so bogus.
00:14:40Oh, God.
00:14:41It's prostituting us for radio.
00:14:44But they've got to come to the ring a little bit later on.
00:14:46But Bagwell very happy tonight at least.
00:14:49But look what happened to him a week ago on this program.
00:14:53And let's just say that the Queen Mary has come in,
00:14:56and there's two new sheriffs in town,
00:14:59and they think I'm buff, and I'm the stuff.
00:15:02And it's got them all up and up.
00:15:04I'm the one going to take World Championship Wrestling
00:15:07back to the promised land.
00:15:10Why don't you just step aside,
00:15:13and let me show you how I'm going to shine
00:15:15like no star you've ever seen before.
00:15:19Because Mean Gene, it's all in the strokes.
00:15:23Something's bothering him.
00:15:25He's almost mocking himself.
00:15:26He told him to come over and kick me in the head.
00:15:29They're enjoying it in the back.
00:15:30Hey, Russo.
00:15:31Did I do a good job for you?
00:15:34Oh, look at this.
00:15:35What is this?
00:15:36It's...
00:15:36A bump.
00:15:47I got your stroke right here.
00:15:49So it all looked like it was going to be very good for the buffer,
00:15:55and it turned out lights out.
00:15:58Well, Jerry's playing some tunes here at WCW.
00:16:01Yeah, he's not the only one playing some things here.
00:16:03I'll tell you that.
00:16:04As Buff comes out, a complete different look now.
00:16:07Now, let's think about the last time we saw him.
00:16:12And then what happened to the hands of Jeff Jarrett.
00:16:14And now look at him.
00:16:15He's put it all behind him.
00:16:16He's got that ability to focus, I guess,
00:16:18and forget all about what happened.
00:16:20A lot of athletes can.
00:16:22Some can't.
00:16:22I mean, he lost to Leparka last week.
00:16:25Well...
00:16:26Laid right down there.
00:16:27One, two, three.
00:16:27That's what he laid down.
00:16:30It's a hard man to beat.
00:16:31The reason Buff Daddy came to Phoenix, Arizona tonight
00:16:50is I'm going to break all the rules.
00:16:55I'm going to take every little thing
00:17:02that has ever been sacred in this business,
00:17:05and I'm going to relieve myself all over it.
00:17:14What I'm trying to say for you people out there that don't get it,
00:17:18I'm not doing a J-O-B job for nobody ever again.
00:17:25I'm not laying down for nobody anymore.
00:17:31From now on, you mess with Buff,
00:17:35and you get the stuff.
00:17:43Nobody's telling me what to do ever again.
00:17:48Especially the two idiots in the back
00:17:51writing this crap.
00:17:54Got it?
00:17:55That's what it's called taking matters into your own heat, man.
00:17:58Uh-oh.
00:17:59What's this?
00:18:00So...
00:18:00What's it?
00:18:01Who are these guys?
00:18:02Two of the biggest bookends you've ever seen.
00:18:04I guess it is.
00:18:05What's this, the Thompson Twins?
00:18:10Look at the size of these, and what are they doing out here?
00:18:13What are they?
00:18:15Maybe you don't see the Buff Daddy's
00:18:17talking to Phoenix, Arizona right now.
00:18:19I don't think they really care, because they're in the ring now.
00:18:26What?
00:18:26They're identical twins.
00:18:27Let me introduce myself.
00:18:33We represent the two idiots in the back that write this crap.
00:18:39And...
00:18:41And...
00:18:42You don't get it, do you?
00:18:44I don't know.
00:18:45Well, you mess with the powers to be, I guess.
00:18:50This is what happened.
00:18:51Look at the size of these guys.
00:18:53Oh.
00:18:53And they are completely dismantling Buff.
00:18:59Well, that right there is the muscle of the power that be.
00:19:03Yeah, that's the muscle behind the braids is what that is.
00:19:05And that is a clear shot message to anyone.
00:19:12Who are they?
00:19:13Like they're...
00:19:15Anyone they want to be.
00:19:16I guess you're right.
00:19:18You're with Vernon Shirley.
00:19:19And coming to the ring right now,
00:19:21as you see Dean Malenka walking towards the entranceway.
00:19:26Coming up next on this program,
00:19:28he and Chris Benoit, last man standing.
00:19:33Back we are on the one and only Monday Nitro.
00:19:36It's time for two former very close friends to battle it out,
00:19:40where the winner will be the last man standing.
00:19:44And before the match gets underway, very briefly,
00:19:47Monday Nitro, Monday, November 22nd,
00:19:49in the suburban Detroit.

00:20:10Here's the crux of the matter
00:20:12between Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko.
00:20:15Let's take a look at what went down.
00:20:17It happened last night.
00:20:18Saw a little bit of Benoit and Steiner.
00:20:19And here's where Dean Malenko got involved.
00:20:23Malenko and Benoit earlier confronted Perry Saturn,
00:20:26saying they wanted out of the revolution.
00:20:28And then, as this battle raged on,
00:20:30we saw earlier where Rick Steiner had won
00:20:33the world television title.
00:20:34The chair got involved.
00:20:37Steiner ended up getting hit with the chair by Benoit.
00:20:40Benoit comes off the top.
00:20:42He gets nailed by the chair when Steiner puts it up in the air.
00:20:44And then, as Steiner walked out with the win,
00:20:48it was Dean Malenko who came in,
00:20:51picking up the chair, referee out,
00:20:53both men down.
00:20:55And who did he hit?
00:20:56He didn't hit Rick Steiner like we said he would,
00:20:58like we thought he would.
00:21:00He hit his post-friend,
00:21:01a man who a couple of hours ago
00:21:03had sided with him to say they were going to leave the revolution.
00:21:06He turned on not only a member of the revolution,
00:21:09he turned on his post-friend, Steve Malenko.
00:21:12And just a short time ago,
00:21:13they were in Japan together,
00:21:14and I guess Malenko had hurt his leg
00:21:17and Benoit stayed up with him all night
00:21:19just to see if he could get him anything.
00:21:20That's the kind of a friend he is.
00:21:22Well, I guess I was always right.
00:21:23A friend indeed is a pest.
00:21:26The rules are when one man cannot answer the 10 count,
00:21:28cannot stand,
00:21:29the other man will be declared the winner.
00:21:31This is not a wrestling match.
00:21:33This is an all-out brawl.
00:21:36And you can see no tights on.
00:21:38It's jeans, it's cowboy boots.
00:21:41Come as you are type of in,
00:21:43and they're going on the floor.
00:21:44Last man standing.
00:21:46Last man standing.
00:21:48This is what it's come to.
00:21:49Two guys who for eight years have trained together,
00:21:52have worked out together,
00:21:53have watched each other's matches.
00:21:55I know for a fact that when Benoit was in the ring,
00:21:58when Benoit would watch his matches,
00:22:00he would talk to Benoit,
00:22:01critique his matches,
00:22:03help him work on the track
00:22:04when he came to the back.
00:22:05Vice versa.
00:22:07Benoit would help out Maliko.
00:22:08That's how close he's to men, man.
00:22:10And this is what it's become.
00:22:11But you never know what goes on behind closed doors.
00:22:14There maybe was a lot of animosity there.
00:22:16Maybe there was jealousy there.
00:22:17You know, some guys,
00:22:18when they reach a point in this business,
00:22:20you can't talk to them anymore.
00:22:21You know that.
00:22:23Maybe that's what happened.
00:22:24Maybe Benoit just got a big head.
00:22:26I don't know.
00:22:27And obviously that he sided with Saturn
00:22:29and he sided with Shane Douglas.
00:22:32Did Maliko after he said
00:22:34he wanted nothing to do with the Revolution.
00:22:36Oh!
00:22:38Wheelbarrel man.
00:22:39Benoit's already had a little bit of payback
00:22:41or receipt as we call it.
00:22:43As he lucked out the Revolution earlier tonight
00:22:45and just pounded away on Maliko.
00:22:47But that is only the tip of the iceberg here
00:22:49as these two men go.
00:22:50I tell you, this caught us all off guard, Green.
00:22:52I don't think there's any questions.
00:22:54Two of the great technical wrestlers
00:22:56never thought we would see this happen
00:22:57between the two men.
00:22:59I think it may have caught us off guard,
00:23:01but no more than it caught Chris Benoit off guard.
00:23:04More than anyone.
00:23:07Well, Chris Benoit should have seen it coming.
00:23:09I did.
00:23:09You can't trust a man like Maliko.
00:23:11You can't trust a Benoit.
00:23:12You can't trust anybody who steps in that ring.
00:23:14Listen, don't put yourself over like that.
00:23:16You didn't see it coming.
00:23:17No one did, okay?
00:23:19Well, I assumed it would happen.
00:23:22It's easy.
00:23:22You go back and say, oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
00:23:24We saw it, but we didn't.
00:23:25Well, how do you know what I see?
00:23:27Because you say everything.
00:23:29Well, I see you right now,
00:23:30but Maliko's having a rough time here.
00:23:32Yes, you're right.
00:23:33You're a blabbermouth.
00:23:33You tell us everything.
00:23:35I do not.
00:23:36Yes, you do not.
00:23:39Somewhere here tonight is Goldberg,
00:23:41and he is awaiting the Outsiders
00:23:43to come out for their matchup,
00:23:45and he is also awaiting to face Bret Hart
00:23:48on only one good leg for the U.S. title
00:23:52and to advance in the tournament
00:23:53for the WCW Championship.
00:23:56And you know Bret Hart is not 100%.
00:23:58He can't be.
00:23:59Not 100%.
00:24:00He's not even 50% from what we've seen.
00:24:05And I wonder how much percentage
00:24:06is going to be left of these two men
00:24:08after this thing is over.
00:24:09You know, it's one thing wrestling
00:24:10with a bad wheel.
00:24:12But even with two good wheels,
00:24:13you don't want to wrestle Goldberg.
00:24:15But he's going to have to
00:24:16in our feature bout tonight.
00:24:17This is one of our feature bouts here.
00:24:19We also have a world tag team title.
00:24:22Marlamide agreeing to face
00:24:23the Filthy Animals for the belts
00:24:24they won last night.
00:24:25Marlamide.
00:24:27Last man standing in this one,
00:24:28and look at this.
00:24:29A monster of ability to back
00:24:32from the top turnbuckle.
00:24:33That was incredible.
00:24:35And now,
00:24:36the 10th count from referee Charles Robinson.
00:24:39The man who cannot answer the 10th count
00:24:42is going to lose this.
00:24:46And that took the win out of both.
00:24:49They're both trying to pitch themselves up.
00:24:51They're up.
00:24:52Same time.
00:24:53Match goes on.
00:24:54A hook.
00:24:55A German suplex.
00:24:56One.
00:24:59He's going to try to suplex this man
00:25:01into oblivion brain.
00:25:03Going to go for three here.
00:25:04Malenko doing a darn good job
00:25:06of holding on to the top rope.
00:25:09Holding on again.
00:25:13A little quick back kick.
00:25:15That trick knee.
00:25:15That is.
00:25:16You're right.
00:25:16I guess that's what it was.
00:25:18A lot of people have them.
00:25:19Yeah.
00:25:19We see a lot of that.
00:25:20I know.
00:25:21The match goes on.
00:25:22A very vulnerable spot.
00:25:24We said that.
00:25:25Oh.
00:25:25That time he had very hard
00:25:26on the outside.
00:25:27But I think the right move
00:25:29in this anything goes.
00:25:30Last man standing.
00:25:32Revenge.
00:25:33Missed that we've got going on here.
00:25:38Malenko.
00:25:40Jeans.
00:25:42In his tennis shoes.
00:25:45Ben Y.
00:25:46And jeans.
00:25:46And cowboy boots.
00:25:48They've come to fight.
00:25:49This has turned down and dirty
00:25:50between these two.
00:25:51Close friends.
00:25:52The last two men I ever thought
00:25:55I would see a match like this.
00:25:56We've seen him have matches before.
00:25:58Great technical wrestling matches.
00:26:00Respected each other.
00:26:01Yeah.
00:26:03It's all over with now.
00:26:04The thud you heard
00:26:11was the back of the head
00:26:12and the shoulders
00:26:13hit the steel steps flush
00:26:15by Benoit.
00:26:18What is Malenko up to?
00:26:19Oh.
00:26:20Oh, no.
00:26:21Right in the lower back there.
00:26:23Kidney area.
00:26:24Dropkick, the steel steps
00:26:26on the lower back.
00:26:27So the head,
00:26:28the upper back,
00:26:29the lower back
00:26:29been destroyed here.
00:26:33But you know,
00:26:33we've seen Benoit
00:26:34in some bad positions.
00:26:35Spitting at him.
00:26:36And he seems to get up
00:26:38and fight his way out of it.
00:26:40They know each other
00:26:41so well, too.
00:26:43Well, yeah,
00:26:43they know each other so well,
00:26:45but they know each other's
00:26:46tendency
00:26:47in a scientific
00:26:48tight matchup
00:26:49in a technical wrestling match.
00:26:50And this is nothing like this.
00:26:53This is not even a pinball.
00:26:54This is a
00:26:54last man standing fight.
00:26:57So I don't know
00:26:58if they know
00:26:59what to expect
00:26:59from each other here or not.
00:27:00Well, if you were in a fight
00:27:01and had to be
00:27:02the last man standing,
00:27:03I wouldn't be putting
00:27:04on a wrestling hold.
00:27:05I'd be trying to knock
00:27:06his head off.
00:27:07And that's exactly
00:27:07what's going on here.
00:27:14And somewhere,
00:27:15the revolution still has
00:27:17standing switch
00:27:20by Dean Malenko.
00:27:21And another go to the back
00:27:23this time.
00:27:24Benoit racked his head
00:27:26of Malenko hard to the mat.
00:27:29What could they have done to her?
00:27:34Is there a name for that move?
00:27:37Yes.
00:27:37What is it called?
00:27:38What do you want to call it?
00:27:39It's the reverse
00:27:40thrust full nasal.
00:27:44Plex.
00:27:44Go down at the same time.
00:27:53No, no, never them.
00:27:56He's going to get up.
00:27:57Both have to get up.
00:27:58Second time.
00:27:58Here's the mandatory
00:28:00ten count for the referee.
00:28:02And the fans counting
00:28:02right along with him.
00:28:04Malenko reaching out
00:28:06for the runners.
00:28:10Stay down until nine
00:28:12if you have to.
00:28:13Pretty good strategy.
00:28:17What is it?
00:28:19Who got up?
00:28:20It was.
00:28:22Chris Benoit.
00:28:23Malenko reached for the runners.
00:28:25Could not get off his knees.
00:28:26But Malenko was up.
00:28:28I did too, but it was Benoit.
00:28:30And look who's coming here now.
00:28:33It's the filthy animals.
00:28:37The filthy animals
00:28:38are looking for the revolution.
00:28:39And Benoit just sidesteped him
00:28:43and let him have it.
00:28:45Oh, he just opened the door for us.
00:28:47Hey, you're not kidding.
00:28:47Hey, filthy animals.
00:28:51Hey, boys.
00:28:52You're looking for somebody.
00:28:56Oh, my.
00:28:58What the hell are you doing?
00:29:00Stand the ground, boys.
00:29:02Don't take another step this way.
00:29:05Kidman, you're worried about
00:29:07this sweet little thing
00:29:08getting a hair on her head hurt.
00:29:11Or you ought to be.
00:29:13Stop beating on Malenko.
00:29:15And I suggest you boys
00:29:17take a step back
00:29:18and do it right damn now.
00:29:22Or
00:29:22Asia
00:29:25is going to take her out.
00:29:28Not now.
00:29:29Not now, sweetheart.
00:29:29Come on home, D.
00:29:35That's it.
00:29:38What's the matter, boys?
00:29:39Want to jump?
00:29:43It's a little bit of a predicament,
00:29:45is it?
00:29:46What do you do?
00:29:47Do you go with your gut instinct
00:29:48and kick him?
00:29:50Kick him in his rear end?
00:29:52Kick him in his ass?
00:29:53Huh?
00:29:54And let her get his neck broke?
00:29:56Huh?
00:29:56Don't you touch her!
00:29:59Don't touch her!
00:30:00Come on home, D.
00:30:05That's a very frightening sight.
00:30:07Filthy animals!
00:30:08Stay right
00:30:09where you are!
00:30:19Come on, D.O.
00:30:20Come on, D.O.
00:30:20Wait, I'm waiting!
00:30:23No, we got to do something!
00:30:25It's a tough situation, isn't it?
00:30:27What are we doing?
00:30:28Chill, man.
00:30:28Chill.
00:30:29Well, if you want Tori back,
00:30:32you guys will stay where you are.
00:30:39No, no, no, no, no, no!
00:30:40Stay right there, guys.
00:30:42Stay right there.
00:30:47They're not staying right there.
00:30:49They're giving chase, and we're coming back.
00:30:50They're looking live out back as they, the revolution, they put Tori in a Cadillac.
00:31:04And there comes the filthy animals, and they're gone, Brain.
00:31:10They've taken her out of the America West arena here.
00:31:12Well, they're not gonna catch him on foot.
00:31:14There's Ray and Andy, they're getting in a car.
00:31:28You heard what Andy said, we'll get Tori.
00:31:30You guys go on and get the belts back from Harlem Heat.
00:31:33That title match still to come.
00:31:35But there is a pursuit of chase going on, somewhere in downtown Phoenix.
00:31:44Man, we're gonna go back to the ring, but we are going to update you on this story,
00:31:48if anything else develops.
00:31:49Man, action here in the ring, and action on the streets of Phoenix.
00:31:54Sounds like Stark Skeet and Hutch out there, didn't it?
00:31:56Wow.
00:32:00Brian Knubbs is gonna have his hands full.
00:32:02Yeah, I think, erroneously, I said earlier, it was gonna be humorous,
00:32:06but it's actually Brian Knubbs who'll say Sting, as we continue with this tournament,
00:32:10the biggest rise in all of WCW hangs in the balance.
00:32:15And, you know, Brain, I want to go back to a point that you brought up about Sting.
00:32:20And I hate to say that I agree with you, but sometimes I do.
00:32:24Sometimes, this is a sad commentary on the country, but sometimes everyone agrees with you.
00:32:31And that is that Sting, really, was robbed last night.
00:32:38Yeah.
00:32:39But Todd, and here's why I say.
00:32:43This opponent, the former WCW World Heavyweight Champion from Venice Beach, California,
00:32:51Chris Sting.
00:32:57Go ahead, Johnny.
00:32:58Okay, he was robbed last night because he was, actually he was robbed today.
00:33:03He was stripped to the title.
00:33:04He did not put the title up last night.
00:33:07It was a non-title match.
00:33:08Stripped to the title by Jim Cooper because he attacked the referee.
00:33:11Well, Diamond Dallas Page attacked the referee, and he got fined $10,000.
00:33:15So, you're saying that, oh, we'll find one guy $10,000, but next night we'll take the title right now.
00:33:21So, what does he do?
00:33:22He's helping coach find out.
00:33:24He has a, like, many sections.
00:33:27Maybe that much.
00:33:29Maybe that much.
00:33:31This man, he bailed, he bailed the company out of a bad situation, but he didn't.
00:33:38And that's how he's rewarded, they strip him of the title, they slap another guy on the wrist.
00:33:43That's not fair.
00:33:44He offered in the ring to take on anybody.
00:33:46He's like, I don't want this to be a night off.
00:33:48He never said nothing about defending the title.
00:33:51Here come the outsiders.
00:33:53You start, right?
00:33:59Something different?
00:34:00You start, you start.
00:34:02Okay, I'll start.
00:34:03You want me to start?
00:34:04You start.
00:34:05All right, we'll do something different, I'll start.
00:34:06Let's go.
00:34:07Good bossing you around.
00:34:10Bret Hart, tonight your road to the WCW title tournament must go through Goldberg.
00:34:15However, following your match last evening at Halloween Havoc, doctors determined that you have a hairline fracture of your ankle.
00:34:22I know the WCW world's title means everything to you, but you have to think long term.
00:34:27If you further injure that ankle, you could be sidelined for months.
00:34:30Well, if it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.
00:34:33You know, I waited forever to get a title shot in the first place.
00:34:36And the fact that I've injured myself and then re-injured it even more yesterday is only that much more frustrating.
00:34:41But let me say one thing.
00:34:42You know, I'm going to prove to everybody that I'm not a quitter and I got a small chance here.
00:34:46Maybe it's just a small, slim ray of hope here, but you know what?
00:34:49I'm going to take any chance I get to become the world champion.
00:34:52If I got to go through Goldberg, and maybe I'll suffer the consequences tonight, but I'm going to show one thing.
00:34:57That I'm going to go in there and I'm going to do my best and I'm going to give Bill Goldberg a match that he's not going to forget.
00:35:03He's going to know he's in for a fight.
00:35:04This is going to be a fight and Bill Goldberg's going to know it.
00:35:06And I'm just going to go in there and I'm going to put everything aside, all my feelings aside.
00:35:10I'm going to just do my best and hope that I can get from this match to the next match to the next match and see if I can become the WCW world champion like I've always wanted.
00:35:20How about that? How about that bit of information? A hairline fracture from WCW.com is the place to log on for the Mayhem Match of the Week.
00:35:31Tell us who the winner was and you can go on to New Year's Eve.
00:35:35And for one call, introducing first, from 110th Street in Harlem, New York,
00:35:42they are the WCW World TK Champions for the 10th time, Booker T and Stevie Rangie for Love Heads.
00:35:58They won the belt for the 10th time.
00:36:02Now, here's what happened earlier tonight.
00:36:05Remember, it was Conan and Kidman in a tournament match for the WCW title.
00:36:10And then Harlem Heat comes in with the referee down for an early night and they dismantled both members of the Pokemon.
00:36:18Well, they're going to have their hands full, like you say, because they got a lot of things on their mind.
00:36:22Don't forget, Mysterio and Guerrero are off in some car driving all over Phoenix through the mountains trying to catch up with Tori.
00:36:30And Conan and Rey have to do the work right here.
00:36:33Can you put your hands up like this?
00:36:36Put them up like this.
00:36:37All right, we're going to go back to the ring for the challenges here.
00:36:43Or Conan and Kidman, isn't it?
00:36:45Well, you never know.
00:36:47On Conan and Kidman, earlier, combatants against each other in the tournament and now together with, as you said, Rey Mysterio and Eddie.
00:37:09As you said, Rey Mysterio and Eddie, still, if we have an update on what's going on,
00:37:13there's a choice of Phoenix here, and the chase with Corey in the lead car,
00:37:18so to speak, with the Revolution, we're gonna update you on it.
00:37:21We need a chopper.
00:37:23Well, maybe we do.
00:37:23We do.
00:37:25The WCW telecom.
00:37:27Where my dogs at, where they at?
00:37:30Yeah, yeah, yeah, let me speak about this.
00:37:34Orale!
00:37:35Orale!
00:37:36Arriba la raza!
00:37:38Arriba la raza!
00:37:39The filthy animals were all about the chatter, the after-hours, and the breezes.
00:37:44And just like Sunday morning, we're straight up keeping it easy.
00:37:47But more importantly than all that, Phoenix, Arizona is Bowdy Bowdy then.
00:37:52Bowdy Bowdy!
00:37:54It's for the title, here on Nitro.
00:37:59This must be some kind of a record for Harlem Heat, ten times?
00:38:02It's a record for, it is a record, if that matters to anybody, it's a record.
00:38:07You know what's coming up next?
00:38:10Diamond Dallas Page against David Flair.
00:38:12Can you believe that these two men were in the same draw after what went down last night?
00:38:17That David Flair would take on Diamond Dallas Page after the carnage his father suffered last night?
00:38:22At the hands of DDP who...
00:38:25Well, I mean, put it this way, if you saw your father being beat up when you were his age, what would you do?
00:38:31I don't know. I don't know what I would do, to be honest with you.
00:38:34That's a scary thing. And so David Flair's got to, with all those things going through his mind, with all the images of last night, he has to walk out here and try to buy for the WCW title against Diamond Dallas Page.
00:38:46I don't think anybody knows where his father is right now, or the condition he's in.
00:38:50The Filthy Animals know where he is, they know where they dumped him off.
00:38:52Oh yeah, but they're not talking.
00:38:54They know where they dumped him off, but we saw the kid cam early.
00:38:57But they're not talking.
00:39:00David Flair better...
00:39:01I don't know what he's gonna do.
00:39:04Yeah, we're gonna find out. That match is next.
00:39:06And that's one of the more intriguing match-ups in this tournament to crown a new WCW champion.
00:39:12Where Sting earlier tonight was stripped of the title that we thought Goldberg had won last night anyway.
00:39:20Into the midsection. Head first. Go Stevie Ray.
00:39:23And Kodan's gonna make a cover here.
00:39:25But it's Smarty with the same.
00:39:27Yeah, that's coming up. Diamond Dallas Page and David Flair.
00:39:31And you know the frame of mind Diamond Dallas is in.
00:39:33Yeah, I know.
00:39:34He doesn't like anybody to take advantage, look at his wife, or say anything derogatory,
00:39:39let alone put their hands on her.
00:39:41Ric Flair's never gonna forget the mindset of Diamond Dallas Page last night.
00:39:45Never.
00:39:46He got the big spanking.
00:39:47I'm never gonna forget those images from last night of what happened to Ric Flair.
00:39:51Never.
00:39:52I'm never gonna get those out of my mind.
00:39:53It was all a part of Halloween habit. The encore presentation is about a couple of times tonight.
00:39:58Available beginning tomorrow, all this week.
00:40:01You can see some of the most vivid memories you'll ever have in WCW came about last night.
00:40:09One of them here tonight with Flair being dumped in the outside of Vega.
00:40:13It's gotta be in the desert somewhere. Covered up with dirt.
00:40:18No respect.
00:40:19Well, I guess that's what the animals are all about, huh?
00:40:26And I guess if they have no respect for Flair, they have no respect for their opponents here,
00:40:30the World Tag Team Champions.
00:40:31No, they have no respect for anyone.
00:40:33They figure that's the way that you gotta live here at WCW.
00:40:36No one respected them. Nobody pushed them around.
00:40:38Now it's their turn.
00:40:39They're gonna make some noise. Some big noise.
00:40:41Cover. And Kidman pulls off Booker D.
00:40:44So what you're saying is you agree with the way they're conducting their business, right?
00:40:47Well, it seems to be working for them. They got a lot of people on edge.
00:40:52Boy, do they ever.
00:40:54And two of their members speeding after Tories.
00:40:56A revolution with Shane Douglas.
00:41:00They're using their minds, too.
00:41:01Yes, they are. They were one step ahead of themselves.
00:41:04I guess that's what you gotta do.
00:41:06You got to here anymore. It's not, well, be a good loser, be a good winner.
00:41:10It's not like that anymore.
00:41:11It's never been like that, but more now than ever before.
00:41:18The high descent.
00:41:19Uh-oh.
00:41:23Conan down.
00:41:24It's amazing that Conan could even have a match here because he's in a lot of pain.
00:41:35And even what's going on here, they're pulling on his shoulder that we talked about needed some
00:41:40attention last night.
00:41:43Well, you have to go for an injury. You just have to do that.
00:41:45Well, we talked about maybe that Conan suffered a shoulder separation.
00:41:48Apparently he's okay. I mean, he's worked twice here tonight.
00:41:52I'll tell you what you're going to see, too. You're going to see Bret Hart.
00:41:56You're going to see him carried out of here. You're going to see Goldberg hurt him.
00:41:59He just can't defend himself. He can barely walk. He couldn't stand to talk to tonight.
00:42:05And he's not only just facing Goldberg, he's facing Goldberg the way he's thinking right now.
00:42:11Goldberg is the most intense individual in this sport.
00:42:15That's another memory.
00:42:16And it's Sid.
00:42:18That's what I'm saying. Another memory I'll never forget about what happened to Sid Visions,
00:42:23who would not stay down last night. Incredible.
00:42:25Now Bret Hart can ice that leg all he wants. He can tape it.
00:42:28He can bandage it. He can put Icy Hot on it.
00:42:32It doesn't matter. That thing is injured and hurt, and he shouldn't be on it.
00:42:36Big Harlem sidekick that time from Booker T.
00:42:38Stevie Ray holding Kidman up as Conan is on the floor.
00:42:42Okay, you talked about today. We understand immediately following this match,
00:42:48Tanae is going to have a word with Goldberg. I wonder what he's thinking about.
00:42:52I wonder if he's still full of rage. I'm sure he is.
00:42:54Why would Tanae be mad?
00:42:56No, Goldberg.
00:43:00Tanae with Goldberg immediately following the match. One, two, no.
00:43:04What a bridge.
00:43:05No, there was a three count of three.
00:43:09Who got pinned here?
00:43:12It's Kidman.
00:43:18The filthy animals.
00:43:21Both shoulders were down, and I believe that Kidman...
00:43:24He got his up.
00:43:25He bridged up in the nick of Tana. Incredible.
00:43:28Last night at Halloween Havoc against Sid Vicious,
00:43:31we saw a killer side emerge from you that eclipsed anything that we've ever seen before.
00:43:36Can we expect that same brutality unleashed tonight against Bret Hart?
00:43:40That rage and that brutality has always been inside of me, but it took a guy like Sid Vicious to bring it out.
00:43:47As far as Bret Hart's concerned, I've got all the respect in the world for Bret, but I do not fear him.
00:43:53I realize he's going into this match tonight less than 100%, but in my eyes, that makes him a little bit more dangerous.
00:44:00And what about the threats that you made earlier tonight to the Outsiders?
00:44:04You know me.
00:44:05I don't make threats.
00:44:06I make promises.
00:44:08They're next.
00:44:10When we come back on Monday Night Raw, Personal War will continue in a tournament match.
00:44:15DDP against David Flick, what's gonna happen next?
00:44:22Ladies and gentlemen, the first round of the WCNN World Heavyweight Championship Tournament continues with this wonderful contest.
00:44:33Introducing, of course, a company to the winner by Kimberly, from the Jersey Shore, he is the master of the Diamond Center,
00:44:43DDP Diamond, Phyllis Page!
00:44:51Last segment, we talked so much about what went down last night, I think we've got to go back and we live some of the moments of brutality, of carnage, from Halloween Happens.
00:45:06Slim Jim's Halloween Happens, there's the Big Bang, Kimberly ushers in her man, and this is a first-round tournament, but this is a personal war.
00:45:13We talked earlier that we could show you a little bit of what happened.
00:45:18And we are going to do that as Paige makes it way to the ring.
00:45:21Alright, come on.
00:45:29It certainly does look focused.
00:45:3124 hours after he dismantled Ric Flair.
00:45:35I mean dismantle Ric Flair.
00:45:47Killing!
00:45:48From Nitro Girl to Nitro Woman, I give you the King of Bada Bing, D.D.P.
00:46:08You love me. You hate me. Like Ric Flair, you'll never forget me.
00:46:26Why? Because D.D.P. delivers the goods. That's why.
00:46:32And he's the greatest two-time, two-time, two-time heavyweight champion of all time.
00:46:45So, David Flair, get your little rat bastard booty over here so I can beat you like I beat your daddy.
00:47:02Ladies and gentlemen, his opponent, from Charlotte, North Carolina, P.P. P.P. P.L.A.R.
00:47:12Look at his eyes, Tony.
00:47:19He's got his father's eyes.
00:47:22He's got that intensity.
00:47:24I've never seen him like this.
00:47:26I ain't getting that intensity again.
00:47:30Here comes David Flair.
00:47:32I mean, the young man is in the ring after the man across nearly and may have ended his father's illustrious career.
00:47:45Got to take off the road.
00:47:48What's going on here?
00:47:54And Kimberly doing some complaining.
00:47:56Oh, look at this.
00:48:01He's got a crowbar.
00:48:02My God.
00:48:03And he whacked him right behind the head.
00:48:06And Kimberly fell down.
00:48:07Knocked the referee into Kimberly.
00:48:08And Kimberly fell down when the referee hit her.
00:48:11Look at this.
00:48:12Look at this kid.
00:48:12I've never seen him like this, Tony.
00:48:15He's lost it.
00:48:16He's beside himself.
00:48:17He's doing it for his father.
00:48:19He's shaking.
00:48:19Look at me.
00:48:21He has completely gone nuts.
00:48:23Look at him grinning his teeth.
00:48:26He'll hurt her.
00:48:26He's got a hip kicker.
00:48:29He doesn't know she's there.
00:48:31All he can see is Diamond Dallas.
00:48:32He's enraged right now.
00:48:35He has completely and totally lost it.
00:48:42And he has broken up DDP with that crowbar.
00:48:46Oh, David Flair did not care about coming in and having a match.
00:48:52Look at the eyes again.
00:48:55That is unlike anything we've ever seen from this man who's had such a troubled start to his professional wrestling career.
00:49:04Like, oh.
00:49:07That shows you the love he has inside of him for his father.
00:49:10I can't believe what I've seen.
00:49:11Kimberly took a tumble as well.
00:49:15Kimberly is...
00:49:16She's begging for help, and she's going to get him.
00:49:24Boy, Flair got him good a couple times.
00:49:26Got him.
00:49:27I don't know if you can use that word, good or not.
00:49:30Oh, my.
00:49:30This is what...
00:49:31So, you know, we talked about this personal war, and that was a battle that we will never forget.
00:49:39I mean, with one purpose, how many times did he swing that thing?
00:49:44Once from behind, twice.
00:49:45The look on his face, his bottom lip was quivering.
00:49:48He was quivering all over.
00:49:49And his eyes, you couldn't even see the car, and they were just a glaze.
00:49:52It was like he was looking at you, but he was looking right past you, right through you.
00:49:56He had this plan.
00:49:57Okay.
00:50:00Kimberly is just...
00:50:04She's petrified right now, and I don't blame her.
00:50:06I mean, David Flair did not realize he was in a ring.
00:50:09Did not realize there was a tournament going on.
00:50:12Did not realize we had a sellout crowd watching on.
00:50:15Did not realize...
00:50:16He did not...
00:50:16The only thing he thought about was payback.
00:50:19And you know what it is, Brain?
00:50:22A family business is more serious, more severe than any other business out there.
00:50:29When he came through the curtains, you could see his eyes.
00:50:31All he saw was this squared circle here and headed for it.
00:50:35He had that...
00:50:36Crowbar hid.
00:50:38He knew what he was going to do.
00:50:40Page is all broken up.
00:50:42Page is all broken up.
00:50:44Kimberly is just...
00:50:46It's living.
00:50:47She doesn't know what to do.
00:50:53The Outsider's going to wrestle some girls.
00:50:58And if they're looking for the numbers, they got them.
00:51:02It's a handicap match, you know.
00:51:03Yeah, it is.
00:51:04Six on two.
00:51:07These things just come to me, you know.
00:51:08Yeah.
00:51:11Whoa.
00:51:12Go ahead, grab her.
00:51:13I mean, that's what the sport's all about.
00:51:16They don't know what to do.
00:51:24For the first time in their illustrious career, the Outsiders have no idea where to grab a hold.
00:51:31I hate to ask this, but what would you do, Brain?
00:51:35Brain?
00:51:36Hello?
00:51:36I'd probably get myself a hat pin.
00:51:38A side headlock.
00:51:42A side headlock.
00:51:51Take me in, please.
00:51:53Look at Nash.
00:51:55What he wants in here.
00:51:56Hold on.
00:52:10Okay, they lock up.
00:52:13Okay, let's call a match here, Brain.
00:52:14They lock up.
00:52:15No, I'm ready to run in.
00:52:18She's pounding him.
00:52:20Slapping him on the head.
00:52:29Keep your motor running.
00:52:35We're going to get some big numbers, Tony.
00:52:38Bigger numbers than Dow Jones.
00:52:40Must be a dis-relation to Flair.
00:52:49Tag her in.
00:52:50Yeah, why not?
00:52:51Here we go.
00:52:52This is a pretty good team.
00:52:55This is a darn good team.
00:52:58I think I'm coming back to manage him.
00:53:01Coming back.
00:53:02I'm thinking about tagging in.
00:53:03And the fans are into it.
00:53:11And wherever you are, this is what it's all about.
00:53:16It's Nitro, and we're having a heck of a time.
00:53:19Yeah!
00:53:20The hot tag.
00:53:24The big save.
00:53:27Big, big Sexy.
00:53:38Which one?
00:53:43Hold on now.
00:53:44Sexy going to go to the neutral corner to confirm.
00:53:50This other girl is going to get.
00:53:52Don't let her in.
00:53:53Because she's going to fall out all over the place here.
00:53:55That can't end.
00:54:00Right now, Tony, that woman is in two different zip codes.
00:54:03Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:54:09Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:54:11Oh, God, I love life.
00:54:17What if she knows she's got shoes on?
00:54:20Ha, ha, ha.
00:54:20Go ahead.
00:54:21Then one, two, three, the girls win.
00:54:28And why not?
00:54:33Well, the Outsiders lose the match.
00:54:42And I don't think that's on the mind here of Nash and Hall at all.
00:54:49Hold on, what do we got?
00:54:57Look at Billy Silverman.
00:54:58That's the referee completely lost right there.
00:55:00We're talking major avalanche.
00:55:02He doesn't know what the point is.
00:55:06Kevin Nash, Scott Hall now.
00:55:08He's never, the fans, oh, Goldberg is living up to his prowess.
00:55:14And this thing's getting dead serious right now.
00:55:16And he means business.
00:55:18He's not getting, he's not looking at any girls.
00:55:21Goldberg, Spears Hall.
00:55:26Nash don't know he's ready.
00:55:28And it's payback time.
00:55:30And he's waiting on Nash.
00:55:37There's Nash, no!
00:55:40He has taken them both out.
00:55:44Goldberg has taken out the Outsiders.
00:55:47It was fun, but it turned dead serious.
00:55:53All right, the replay brought to you by Air Force.
00:55:56And here it is again for a year of the Spears of Goldberg.
00:55:59Goldberg measures off, charges Hall, drops him to the map.
00:56:03Nash has his back turned.
00:56:04He don't even know Goldberg's in the ring.
00:56:06Nash turns around, sees Goldberg, can do nothing about it.
00:56:09Goldberg takes out the Outsiders in two moves.
00:56:12Yeah, payback as hell.
00:56:14Being in the ring at Goldberg is worse.
00:56:17Living through to his province.
00:56:18Here it is again from another angle.
00:56:19Goldberg just waiting on Nash to turn around.
00:56:22Look at that.
00:56:23Cold, calculating, and explosive.
00:56:26Goldberg lived up to what he said.
00:56:29And he decimated the Outsiders.
00:56:32The replay brought to you by Air Force.

00:56:39We've come to this.
00:56:42Our final first round match tonight in the WCW Heavyweight Championship Tournament.
00:56:47We know now about the hairline fracture Bret Hart has suffered.
00:56:54But it's clear-cut for any competitor in WCW.
00:57:01You've got to do what it takes to win the world title.
00:57:05Any other match Bret Hart may have said, no, forget it, I'll let this heal.
00:57:10But this is his chance to become the U.S. champion tonight and to further in the tournament to crown the U.S. champion.
00:57:17I was in St. Louis one night over 30 years ago.
00:57:21Lou Feds came in with a broken ankle.
00:57:22He taped his legs so tight and then wrestled to an hour draw.
00:57:26There's just something you have to do when you have to do it.
00:57:32Bret Hart feels he has to do this.
00:57:34He has to get into the ring.
00:57:37He has to have his shot at Goldberg.
00:57:39Anything could happen.
00:57:40Anything could happen.
00:57:41He could be lucky.
00:57:42That's the only thing that's going to help him out tonight.
00:57:45He's going to have to be lucky because he can't fight Goldberg with just one leg.
00:57:50Nobody can.
00:57:55Unless you're maybe a Sid Vicious, but with a hairline fracture, it's just going to get worse.
00:58:01The more he's on it, the worse it's going to get.
00:58:04You've got to cut out the pain if you possibly can, but this is a hairline fracture.
00:58:09And this is a man who fears no man, who is more intense.
00:58:14I'm talking about his opponent, and we're going to see it just diminish than he's ever been.
00:58:18He completely, he completely ran over Sid Vicious last night.
00:58:23A Sid Vicious who kept coming and coming and coming until he could not come anymore.
00:58:30But the referee stopped the match.
00:58:31It wasn't Sid.
00:58:32That's right.
00:58:33He didn't ask to ring the bell.
00:58:34He still wanted him.
00:58:35Even when he was taken up the aisle by Steiner, he wanted to come back in that ring.
00:58:39He wiped that blood off his face.
00:58:41He wanted to keep on going.
00:58:43I've never seen a man fight like that in my life.
00:58:46Believe me, Goldberg may hate him, but he's got new respect for Sid Vicious.
00:58:49We all do.
00:58:50And to end to that, Goldberg, after that brutality war, enter the call, the challenge from Sting.
00:59:00As you look at the door, oh, look at, oh, is he ready.
00:59:04Here he comes.
00:59:06Come in.
00:59:08And after that dramatic trip of events that happened last night, Sting comes back out.
00:59:12He says, I want to match Goldberg after the challenge.
00:59:15Won.
00:59:16Sting said it was not for the title.
00:59:18Never heard him say it was.
00:59:20Well, we all thought he had won the title last night.
00:59:23He did win the US title.
00:59:24Sting, as we saw at the top of the program, because he attacked the referee, stripped of
00:59:28the world title.
00:59:29The world title being held up.
00:59:31No man has the belt right now.
00:59:33This is the final of the first round matches tonight.
00:59:37The tournament will continue next week on this program.
00:59:41And who in the world knows what to expect next week?
00:59:45I mean, if the outsiders didn't know what to expect, how in the world are we going to know?
00:59:50I've got to say this about Goldberg.
00:59:52Last night, he won the United States Championship.
00:59:54Then in a matter of an hour or so, went out and won the World Championship, he thought.
00:59:58That's hard to do in one night.
01:00:00Believe me, very hard to do.
01:00:04I don't think it's ever been done.
01:00:06He is from Dawson to Georgia.
01:00:09He is the new WCW United States WWE Champion.
01:00:15He is...
01:00:17Cooper!
01:00:26He's got himself ready.
01:00:27Yeah, he's not concerned about any injuries.
01:00:29As a matter of fact, with all the rage that he has, I wonder what's going through his mind right now.
01:00:38You know, he's played hurt, too.
01:00:39He understands what Bret Hart's going through, but business is business, pal.
01:00:44I'm kidding. And it's Goldberg's business.
01:00:46And when he steps in the ring, he's...
01:00:50All business.
01:00:51Yeah, he's the CEO.
01:00:52The man.
01:00:53All right.
01:00:54We can't wait.
01:00:55Here we go.
01:00:56United States title is on the line, as we said.
01:00:57As you know, he'll put it up.
01:00:58But...
01:00:59You just know it's going through Bret Hart's mind.
01:01:00How can I keep him away from this leg?
01:01:02How long will this leg last?
01:01:03Can I go 20 minutes?
01:01:04Can I go a half hour?
01:01:06How much time do I have?
01:01:07I've got to keep him away from this leg.
01:01:09Or..
01:01:10Or...
01:01:11Or..
01:01:12Robert Lamoux pueblo's not going through Bret Hart's mind.
01:01:13How can I keep him away from this leg?
01:01:14How long will this leg last?
01:01:15Can I go 20 minutes?
01:01:17Can I go a half hour?
01:01:18How much time do I have?
01:01:20I've got to keep him away from this leg.
01:01:22Goldberg actually looking at him and saying,
01:01:25Hey, what about your leg?
01:01:28Hairline fracture of the shin, of the ankle, of that bone was the diagnosis.
01:01:35And it all started with the bat from the total package last month.
01:01:37from the total package last Monday,
01:01:40further aggravated, as we saw earlier,
01:01:42when he fell out of the ring last night,
01:01:43and they hook up.
01:01:46I think the strategy for Goldberg here is clear-cut, right?
01:01:52You know, and that bat belongs to Sting.
01:01:54When does it ever, who also advanced
01:01:56in the tournament tonight.
01:01:58Winner becomes a U.S. champion,
01:01:59the winner advances on in the tournament.
01:02:01See, this is very hard.
01:02:02Brett's thinking how to keep him away from the leg,
01:02:04but he's also got to think,
01:02:05what can I do to beat this man?
01:02:07You're not gonna win this match by just staying with him.
01:02:11Goldberg tried to send him into the ropes,
01:02:13and Bret Hart didn't need to go there.
01:02:15He held his own, and what does Goldberg do?
01:02:17He just levels Bret Hart.
01:02:23Way up!
01:02:25Goldberg press slam, in!
01:02:28Wow.
01:02:31To a hard put-down in the center of the ring.
01:02:34Goldberg's got to do what he has to do, though.
01:02:37Bret Hart wouldn't respect him if he didn't.
01:02:39You know the pain of this leg Bret Hart has,
01:02:41and he hasn't really worked on the leg at all,
01:02:43but Bret Hart has...
01:02:45It's just fighting to even get back to his feet,
01:02:49and that's what he's doing.
01:02:50Bret Hart is fighting with everything he got.
01:02:53And Goldberg, rapid-fire fist to the gut.
01:02:57He's just in too much pain to compete.
01:03:02There he goes!
01:03:03Oh!
01:03:04Oh, that's it!
01:03:05Why would he do that?
01:03:06Why grab for the ropes?
01:03:07Give it up!
01:03:08Why grab- why would he?
01:03:10If he's gonna walk to the ring, limp to the ring,
01:03:13you know he's gonna grab for the ropes.
01:03:14Yeah, but as soon as-
01:03:15I'm afraid this is the World Heavyweight Championship.
01:03:17I know, but when Goldberg grabs that leg with a hairline fracture,
01:03:20there'll be other days, maybe.
01:03:22Maybe there's the key, and maybe there won't.
01:03:25This is the top prize in WCW.
01:03:29Is it worth all that pain, though?
01:03:31Yes, it is.
01:03:31It must be to some people.
01:03:32Yes, it is.
01:03:33It wouldn't be to me.
01:03:34That's why they're there, and you're here.
01:03:37That's why he never had the World Championship.
01:03:39Yeah, and many other reasons.
01:03:41Bret Hart told Goldberg, he said, come get me.
01:03:45He's got Goldberg, and Bret Hart trying to take the offense to Goldberg.
01:03:49He's gonna fight through the pain of the ankle,
01:03:51and try to knock a man who just won't go down off his feet.
01:03:54Well, if he can get his adrenaline going,
01:03:56and he can get himself a good streaker
01:03:58and get Goldberg a little rocky,
01:03:59he won't make me feel that pain in that leg.
01:04:01Maybe that's what he needs to get himself going.
01:04:04Goldberg's just a monster.
01:04:06Mickey J said, you want to give it up?
01:04:07I'll ring the bell right now.
01:04:09Bret Hart did not even answer.
01:04:11He just rolled over, trying to get to his feet.
01:04:13Goldberg to the leg again.
01:04:14Here we go.
01:04:15Oh!
01:04:16Remember, that's a hairline fracture, but he pops up.
01:04:22This is courage beyond belief.
01:04:24Well, it's better to get up and try to protect that leg
01:04:27than lay there on the mat.
01:04:28That much you can do on your back.
01:04:29In the midsection.
01:04:44Into the corner.
01:04:49To the leg.
01:04:53Ask him, Goldberg says.
01:04:54He wants it over right now.
01:04:56And Bret Hart right now gave an answer.
01:04:58He said no that time.
01:04:59Last time, no answer.
01:05:01Well, Mickey J, a veteran referee,
01:05:04he was the one that stopped the match last night
01:05:06with Sid Vicious and Goldberg.
01:05:08Maybe his heart will be big enough to stop it now,
01:05:10so this man Bret Hart isn't crippled for life.
01:05:13That's the epitome of what a WCW wrestler is about.
01:05:19We talked so much about how important
01:05:22being the world champion is.
01:05:23I don't think we need to say much more
01:05:26than seeing what it's all about in the ring.
01:05:29Goldberg again.
01:05:31I regret trying to fight to get out of that.
01:05:33Leg submission hold.
01:05:35Again, Mickey J right on top of it.
01:05:37Mickey J realized how critical this is
01:05:40to his career and how important this match is.
01:05:45He can't take much more.
01:05:46Let's listen to this.
01:05:48Goldberg let go.
01:05:52Goldberg said he's got to stop.
01:05:58And he said, I ain't stopping nothing,
01:06:00is what Bret Hart said.
01:06:01So now Goldberg takes a different approach.
01:06:12What about this brain?
01:06:13It's almost as if he stopped focusing on the leg
01:06:18because Bret Hart wouldn't give up.
01:06:19And now he's going to try to pound his way to victory here.
01:06:22I think he realizes now he's just got
01:06:24to get this over with.
01:06:25Yep.
01:06:26That's a humane thing to do.
01:06:28You know what they do with horses.
01:06:30Yeah, but we've seen there's not much humane in Goldberg,
01:06:34at least over the past three.
01:06:36He can't even stand up.
01:06:38And Goldberg says, check it.
01:06:39He's got to be open.
01:06:40Well, that's what they always talk about,
01:06:46the courage of the Hart family.
01:06:48As long as he can stand, he got the right leg up.
01:06:53And it got him going.
01:06:55Here comes Bret Hart.
01:06:57He's on top of Goldberg.
01:06:59He's got a sleeper on Goldberg.
01:07:03He's got a sleeper on Goldberg.
01:07:06And Goldberg just shrugs him off.
01:07:09No, he doesn't.
01:07:10Bret Hart comes back again.
01:07:14And the referee on the snap air takeover gets hit.
01:07:19And Vicky J's down.
01:07:21That was an accident.
01:07:23Yeah, of course it was.
01:07:24He was trying to get Bret Hart off.
01:07:26Goldberg sends Bret, he hit his leg again.
01:07:29He hit the same move last night.
01:07:31From the Outsiders.
01:07:34The Outsiders.
01:07:36The Outsiders.
01:07:37It's Sid Vicious.
01:07:38What's he doing here?
01:07:39I didn't know Sid Vicious was here.
01:07:41But he's here.
01:07:42The Outsiders.
01:07:43Sid Vicious, remember the interview from last night
01:07:46after the match?
01:07:48It's not over yet, he said.
01:07:50Look at his head.
01:07:51The injury from last night.
01:07:53He said, I will have my day with Goldberg.
01:07:56This must be it.
01:07:57All three attacking Goldberg.
01:07:59Bret Hart is down on the floor.
01:08:01He's not even aware this is going on.
01:08:03It's three on one.
01:08:06Now Sid.
01:08:12He's gonna powerbomb on my bed Tony.
01:08:15Is Goldberg out?
01:08:16That's what he's gonna do.
01:08:18That's why, oh.
01:08:21He powerbombed Goldberg.
01:08:24And again, I look to my right.
01:08:26There you see.
01:08:27In the right of your screen, down is Bret Hart.
01:08:30He is not even aware of what's happened.
01:08:32And they're all, they've all gone.
01:08:33Well, Goldberg just took a beating from the Outsiders Hall and Nash.
01:08:39And a big, big beating from Sid Vicious.
01:08:42And like you say, Bret Hart isn't even aware of what's happening here.
01:08:48Powerbomb repeatedly attacked him.
01:08:51The powerbomb in.
01:08:52And Goldberg, Goldberg cannot even get to his feet.
01:08:56Hart rolling in.
01:08:58Mickey J is not.
01:09:01Bret Hart once again did not even know this went down.
01:09:04Mickey J, I don't even know what happened.
01:09:05No, he doesn't.
01:09:06Double one, two.
01:09:07Oh my God.
01:09:10He did the unbelievable.
01:09:12Bret Hart has won it.
01:09:14He's advanced.
01:09:15Goldberg's out.
01:09:16And Bret Hart is the new U.S. Champion.
01:09:21The U.S. Champion.
