00:00:00Well, we were expecting
00:00:02Norman Smiley to make his
00:00:05Well, that is Norman
00:00:06That's unmistakable right there
00:00:08And he's dressed up like a catcher
00:00:12It's Mr. Hardcore himself
00:00:13I could have been one of the boys
00:00:18I could have been one of the boys
00:00:19I'm telling you
00:00:20Well, I'm getting into character
00:00:24Get it?
00:00:30Ladies and gentlemen,
00:00:33the next contest
00:00:35Welcome back
00:00:37It's a hardcore three-way dance
00:00:40In this match, there is no disqualification
00:00:43And the man who scores the pinfall or submission
00:00:46will be declared the winner
00:00:48Already in the ring
00:00:50Accompanied by the mouth of the Sims
00:00:52in the heart, the Borgarian
00:00:54The second participant
00:00:57making his way to the ring
00:00:59From the Kingdom of Kaka, he is Ming
00:01:03And we're gonna go back to see Ming's victory a week ago over Medusa
00:01:08In a first round tournament match
00:01:10She tried as she could to get him down
00:01:13But no one can survive the talking death grip
00:01:16And WCW is granted
00:01:19I guess the power to be more specifically Medusa a reprieve
00:01:23They're gonna put her back in the tournament
00:01:25Give her another shot
00:01:26Later tonight against Evan Courageous
00:01:28They're trying to get her hurt, it looks like to me
00:01:31Jen Quinley
00:01:33From London, England
00:01:35Norman Smiley
00:01:39Norman Smiley
00:01:41Norman is all prepared for hardcore action, isn't he?
00:01:50That's not Roy Campanella making his way to the ring
00:01:52For you fans out there
00:01:53For you fans out there, fans weren't even born
00:01:55Roy Campanella was catching
00:01:57He was a catcher
00:01:58Great catcher
00:01:59Yes, he was
00:02:00Back in the 50s
00:02:01I don't think he played until he was 50
00:02:04In the 1950s
00:02:05Hardcore time
00:02:07Jimmy Hart's gotta scoot
00:02:09And look at
00:02:10I guess the man who considers himself
00:02:12Mr. Hardcore himself
00:02:13And he's got a couple of wins here
00:02:15Norman got on his legs
00:02:17Those are
00:02:18Are you catching gear on?
00:02:19He has a ship protectors, right?
00:02:21He's got a mask on
00:02:23That's one of the darkest things I've ever seen
00:02:28No trashcan on the head
00:02:31Gonna work there
00:02:32Down goes Norman
00:02:37Well, fans, it's getting pretty wild
00:02:43The catcher's gear may block a foul tip
00:02:51But I don't think it's gonna block anything Ming has for you
00:02:53Or the Barbarian
00:02:54You know, it's almost as if these two guys, Ming of the Barbarian
00:03:01Want to carry on this hardcore three-way dance here
00:03:04And they want Norman to leave him alone
00:03:12This isn't your average seventh-inning stretch
00:03:15Oh, we got all kinds of cliches here, fans
00:03:18Just hang with us
00:03:21There's one right down the middle
00:03:23Oh
00:03:26And I'm up
00:03:27Of course
00:03:28And the fans are behind Norman here
00:03:33I can tell you Ming and the Barbarian can hit each other
00:03:34Trashcans all night
00:03:35It's got no effect
00:03:37Norman tried to get into this again
00:03:39And the old backstop is pinned up against
00:03:42The ropes
00:03:47Well, he's getting a lot of hits
00:03:48The fight continues as Ming focuses his attack on the Barbarian
00:04:00And back he goes to Mr. Hardcore himself, Norman
00:04:03Norman's the catcher
00:04:06Laying on his back
00:04:09And that
00:04:10Stop that from Ming as the Barbarian
00:04:13Remember, the one man who gets the pinfall
00:04:15Or the submission here
00:04:17Will be the winner
00:04:18It's not elimination
00:04:19It's hardcore rules
00:04:20And that means one man can emerge the victor here
00:04:23Norman
00:04:25Back to his feet
00:04:27Not called for a fastball
00:04:29No effect
00:04:30That don't work
00:04:31Now he needs to go to the midsection
00:04:33Or try something else
00:04:34He needs to go to the bullpen
00:04:36With some relief help
00:04:38That's how you do it
00:04:39Bring in the lefty
00:04:41Bring in the lefty
00:04:47Norman goes head first on the chair
00:04:48Ming wielding the can
00:04:56I think Norman may be hurt here
00:04:58He is now
00:04:59He is now
00:05:00Pick up an atomic drop
00:05:02Talk about a fall tip
00:05:04As Norman is down in the corner
00:05:05Here comes the Barbarian
00:05:06Picking up Ming
00:05:07With authority that time
00:05:09Ah Ming
00:05:10That felt good
00:05:11Remember, still tonight
00:05:12Among all of this
00:05:13Medusa gets to redeem herself
00:05:15In the tournament
00:05:16Against Evan Courageous
00:05:17The cage alone
00:05:18For Benoit Malenko
00:05:19In the tournament
00:05:20The filthy animals
00:05:22In the persona of Eddie Guerrero
00:05:24Get the fight
00:05:25To try to release Tori
00:05:26Out of the shirt cage
00:05:27In a key on the pole mat
00:05:30That's all tonight
00:05:31And what does Bret Hart have in store?
00:05:33And we're still gonna hear
00:05:34Goldberg and his feelings
00:05:35On being eliminated in this tournament
00:05:38And what about Scott Hall
00:05:40And Sid Vicious
00:05:41And the promoter
00:05:42That was a pretty good laugh for him, bro
00:05:46How about Ming with that dropkick?
00:05:48Norman's taking a little break
00:05:51Now, forget about it, Norman
00:05:52I mean, we know it's not gonna work
00:05:55That's not gonna stop him, though
00:05:57And elbow through the mask
00:06:01And Norman falls out on the apron here
00:06:04Norman had a plan
00:06:06He sure did
00:06:13Norman Smiley hits the top turnbuckle bed
00:06:15But Barbarian still on the floor
00:06:16This is becoming a two-man fight here
00:06:18As Ming has focused his attention
00:06:20Back on Mr. Hardcore Norman Smiley
00:06:22Now, if you think-
00:06:24That's a good manager
00:06:25After being hit with a trashcan
00:06:27That that's gonna hurt Norman Smiley
00:06:29Then you got another thing coming
00:06:30No little spiny leg kick's gonna hurt him at all
00:06:34Just gonna make a man
00:06:36But around the corner of the Barbarian
00:06:38As Norman
00:06:43It's Norman
00:06:45Who obviously has been injured by those items
00:06:48On the shoulder there
00:06:50Is back in the ring
00:06:51And now he's been stripped of just about everything
00:06:54Except the shin guards here
00:06:55Only a matter of time
00:06:57That's a pretty good shot of shin guards
00:06:59Those things cost him about 60 or 70 dollars
00:07:02And they're not helping him in the least now
00:07:06As both the Barbarian and Ming
00:07:08Have turned their attack on Norman
00:07:10You gotta give Norman some credit here
00:07:13I mean, you know, he knew what to expect
00:07:15He tried to soften the blows
00:07:17It had no effect though
00:07:18Because he's been stripped of most of his protection right now
00:07:22But he's not in the ring with two normal athletes
00:07:25He's in the ring with Ming and the Barbarian
00:07:27Savages
00:07:28Hold on, Billy Silverman is calling for some medical attention
00:07:32I talked about the injury to Norman Smiley
00:07:34And Silverman saying, hang on
00:07:36This match can continue
00:07:37But Norman's gotta get out of here first
00:07:39He's hurt
00:07:40Well, he's been traded
00:07:42For the player to meet him later maybe
00:07:45And Norman
00:07:49Will take his mask and go home
00:07:52There will be no extra innings for Norman
00:07:57No, Mr. Hardcore did not last long in this one
00:08:00And there you see some more as this brutality continues here in the ring
00:08:07What's wrong with Norman here?
00:08:10What's wrong?
00:08:11What's he pointing to?
00:08:13What's wrong with the chest?
00:08:14He's having trouble breathing
00:08:18Having trouble breathing maybe?
00:08:19Maybe he got a second win
00:08:24In the ring you see the Barbarian Ming laid out
00:08:27Norman with a second win comes off of the stretcher
00:08:31And checks on it
00:08:33And checks on it
00:08:34He's gonna cover the Barbarian
00:08:35I'll be done
00:08:36He was watching the big screen
00:08:39He knew what was going on all the time
00:08:41It's time for the big wiggles, honey
00:08:46We got front row to the big wiggles
00:08:47Boy, you'll get better seats than this
00:08:48Oh my goodness
00:08:49Lex, it's time for my public apology
00:08:55First sir, I'd like to say thank you very much for seeing me
00:08:58I realize there's been a change in the organization
00:09:00A lot of people are struggling and scrapping around
00:09:03I just want to point out to you that I've been wrestling for 20 years
00:09:06And I have probably more fan support than a lot of these guys out there
00:09:10That are doing the dropkicks
00:09:11You know this past year it's been extremely hard for me and my family
00:09:15I was diagnosed with cancer a year ago in September
00:09:18And with the grace of the Lord they were able to go in and remove my kidney
00:09:21So I think if you give me the opportunity
00:09:23I can have a bigger effect on professional wrestling in the few years that I have left
00:09:28Than I've had in the 20 years prior to it
00:09:30Because I know I've got the fan support
00:09:32I know I've got the heart
00:09:33And by God I know I've got the desire
00:09:35You're talking about an opportunity?
00:09:37Yes sir
00:09:38An opportunity
00:09:39That's all I want
00:09:40You deserve an opportunity
00:09:41Yes sir
00:09:42Well first of all let me get out my handkerchief
00:09:43Because my heart bleeds for you
00:09:45Second of all whether you have one, two, three, four kidneys
00:09:48What does that have to do with my ratings?
00:09:51It's all about ratings
00:09:53As far as opportunity
00:09:55I'll think about it
00:09:56Next
00:09:57Thank you sir
00:09:58Sure he's gotta trust you
00:10:08You never screw anybody right?
00:10:10Ha!
00:10:11If Sid gets screwed tonight it won't be because I screw Sid
00:10:16It'll be because Sid screws Sid
00:10:19Ha!
00:10:20Ha!
00:10:21Ha!
00:10:22Ha!
00:10:23Ha!
00:10:24Ha!
00:10:25Get it?
00:10:26Wow that was a rough match out there man
00:10:27That was a hell of a bumpy toe
00:10:28You alright?
00:10:29I mean man I don't mean to beat this to Jared thinking of the ground
00:10:31But he's got an interview coming real soon here
00:10:34I think y'all check that thing out
00:10:36Serious
00:10:37I think it's feeding time
00:10:42Things continue in the backstage area all the way from the office of first glimpse into the inner sanctum of the powers that be
00:10:52And a plea by the one and only Hacksaw Jim Duggan to the discussion about the upcoming match with Sid and Scott Hall in the tournament
00:11:00Whatever's up there I don't know
00:11:02But I want to talk about here comes Jeff Jarrett out
00:11:06Maybe he's right as I said earlier maybe he is the chosen one
00:11:09Maybe he is the favorite here in this tournament
00:11:12But what about what Lex Luger's doing?
00:11:14He's getting Ming all riled up in the back
00:11:16You don't want to do that
00:11:18Hey Luger
00:11:20I got your total package right here
00:11:27Finally
00:11:28It is time for you to come out here and publicly apologize to me like a man
00:11:37I think that's fair
00:11:39I didn't lay a finger on Liz
00:11:42And I don't appreciate being accused of anything
00:11:47This is not the WWF
00:11:51And we do not abuse women around here
00:11:55So I guess the time with that music the total package is going to come out and
00:12:07Boy he's got something up his sleeve brain I don't know what it is
00:12:13He's going to get Ming worked up to the point where he's not going to be able to be controlled
00:12:17So Ming doesn't understand a whole lot, he doesn't understand fight
00:12:23He doesn't understand win
00:12:25Then he gets fed, he gets money
00:12:27He doesn't understand politics
00:12:35Something on Luger's mind
00:12:36Well you're not kidding, this has been playing out for the last couple of segments
00:12:39What's it all about?
00:12:40You know Jeff Jarrett
00:12:43As hard as it is
00:12:47And Liz you know me very well
00:12:49To ever apologize
00:12:51You're right
00:12:53I don't actually know
00:12:55That you hit Liz on the guitar
00:12:57And I'm out here as hard as it is for me to say
00:13:00To say I'm sorry
00:13:02Boy how about he got, he got what he wanted but
00:13:07He was right
00:13:10And you know what?
00:13:12I have to admit I had heard some rumors in the back
00:13:17That it could have been somebody else
00:13:19I've even heard the name Ming
00:13:20You damn right it could be somebody else
00:13:22You damn right
00:13:23Cause I've told you before
00:13:25I'm the one with all the stroke around here
00:13:27I am the chosen one
00:13:29And I do not get physical with women anymore
00:13:38And I, before you interrupted me
00:13:40I was going to say
00:13:41I'm on your side of this Jeff
00:13:43I did hear the rumor
00:13:45That it could have been Ming
00:13:47Or somebody like that
00:13:48Ming?
00:13:49Ming?
00:13:50That's right
00:13:51You gotta be kidding me
00:13:52Dead serious
00:13:53That giant ape
00:13:54It took him a day and a half to take take down Medusa
00:13:58And what is she?
00:13:5950?
00:14:00At least
00:14:01If I was in the ring with Medusa
00:14:09I guarantee you one thing
00:14:11I'd take her down so quick
00:14:13Come on
00:14:14My goodness
00:14:15Here it comes
00:14:16And Jeff George left town
00:14:18Boy, I tell you
00:14:21That's a good move
00:14:23Slap nuts
00:14:24Just back up
00:14:25Slap nuts
00:14:26You big wuss
00:14:30Jeff Jarrett takes a quick exit away from Ming
00:14:38And we can't blame him
00:14:41Now Luger's making his way to the ring
00:14:44And Elizabeth
00:14:53Finally
00:14:55A real man who knows how to come to the aid of a woman
00:14:59You know Package
00:15:01You could probably learn a lesson from this
00:15:04Oh, she
00:15:09She maced him
00:15:10She maced him
00:15:11As he sprayed stuff in his eyes
00:15:12And Luger
00:15:13As a tire iron or something
00:15:15And he is pounding Ming unmercifully
00:15:18As strong as powerful he is
00:15:21He cannot take this
00:15:23Never trust a beautiful woman
00:15:25You know what's going on here, don't you, Brain?
00:15:28It's all becoming crystal clear now
00:15:30He wanted to get Ming riled up
00:15:32He wanted to get him in the ring alone
00:15:34Because we've seen the brackets
00:15:36We know what's happened to DDP
00:15:38We heard what happened to The Kid Camp
00:15:40He's an opportunist
00:15:42And he wants to lay a clean slate
00:15:44For him in this tournament
00:15:46That's gotta be what it is
00:15:47That'll stop learning about it
00:15:52Man it's good
00:15:53You really need to get torn back
00:15:56I feel it is
00:15:57Evil
00:16:00You aren't talking
00:16:02Come on Eddie
00:16:03Come on
00:16:04What
00:16:06The revolution, the filthy animals are both on their way to the ring, and that match with the key on the pole coming up.
00:16:15Hey, Sid. Sid.
00:16:19Back up there, Scott. I've got a certain way with the boys.
00:16:23Hey, Sid. Hey, pal. Hey, Sid.
00:16:36One opportunity. The WCW World Tag Team Titles, man, you and I together. Man, this is what we always wanted. Come on, Stinger. What do you say?
00:16:46Does this have anything to do with the world title?
00:16:48Well, no, but it's the WCW World Tag Team. I don't want to talk about it, then.
00:16:51What do you mean you don't want to talk about it? We've been talking about this for 13 years down the road together, Stinger.
00:16:57We should be on top in this sport. You and I. You're going to get your world title back, Stinger, but tonight we can take the World Tag Team Titles for WCW.
00:17:06I'll go after the U.S. title. We can have them all. We always talked about it.
00:17:09On top of Impressor Wrestling, the total package and Sting, or Sting and the total package.
00:17:15Tonight, let's go after those tag team titles. We can't pass this up, Stinger. We can't.
00:17:20Are you listening to me?
00:17:22Yeah. Yeah.
00:17:23Okay. All right, I'm in.
00:17:25Whatever, Lex.
00:17:26All right, Stingers.
00:17:28We're coming up quick. Get your hand up, bud, okay?
00:17:30As we look at the key dangling high above a pole affixed to a ring post, we are prepared to see if Tori is going to be freed or not.
00:17:41Let's go to David Pettcher.
00:17:43Ladies and gentlemen, the following is a special challenge contest.
00:17:47The key to the shark cage will be on the pole to my right, and whoever retrieves it will win possession of the key, will win the match, and we'll get to decide Tori Wilson's future.
00:18:02Now let's go back to what we just witnessed with the total package trying to get in Sting tonight to grab for the Filthy Animals.
00:18:20You see the key in the pole and the world tag team title.
00:18:24Luger is not done yet.
00:18:26I can tell you right now, Sting, Ming, it doesn't, do not, do not trust this man, Lex Luger.
00:18:32You know what's going on, Brain.
00:18:34You know what's ahead of him.
00:18:36His close friend, Sting, is in the same bracket where he is.
00:18:41I mean, I-
00:18:41He's just trying to position himself.
00:18:44Yes, he is.
00:18:44He's doing a great job.
00:18:46He's got everybody stirred up.
00:18:47He's manipulated everything tonight.
00:18:48I don't think there's any question about that.
00:18:50There is Tori locked up in the Shark Gage, and that's Perry Setter driving the old forklift.
00:18:58And he puts it right for everyone to see if the Revolution will make their way.
00:19:05Let's go back to David Pinch.
00:19:07He's a opponent accompanied to the ring for the Revolution from Boston, Massachusetts, Perry Setter.
00:19:16They're gonna put that cage right up in ringside.
00:19:19But how about that?
00:19:20How about that?
00:19:22You're looking at the same thing I'm looking at?
00:19:25I've never seen a padlock that shiny.
00:19:28You're looking at the padlock.
00:19:32I am filming.
00:19:35No sense going on anymore.
00:19:37I'm sure it's been a very troubling week for young Corey Wilson.
00:19:43As Eddie Guerrero will be the man trying to win her freedom.
00:19:46Now, remember what Saturn said.
00:19:48If you can win, if you don't win this match, I'm going to scale her now.
00:19:53You can just let your imagination run with that man.
00:19:56It could be any number of things.
00:19:58The fact is, this is very explosive.
00:20:01Between these two teams.
00:20:03They hate it.
00:20:04Do they have it?
00:20:07I mean, they put her right on the edge of the ring.
00:20:09The Filthy Animals are still in the ring and wisely, as Ray wanted to jump right up immediately and get the key off the pole.
00:20:20The man who secured the key.
00:20:22If it's Eddie Guerrero, then he's going to win the freedom of Torrey.
00:20:27If not, it's going to be more trouble, not only with the Filthy Animals, but for a very frightened Torrey Wilson in that shark cage.
00:20:36Another cage will still lower here tonight.
00:20:38Benoit Malenko in a cage match in the first round of the U.S. title tournament.
00:20:44Malenko's made his way to ringside right now.
00:20:46With the revolution.
00:20:51This is a one-on-one matchup, at least in the ring.
00:20:54It's supposed to be that.
00:20:56A very quick reminder, the WCW Nitro Machine Monster Truck debuts this Saturday here in Minneapolis.
00:21:03That's November 6th at the Metrodome.
00:21:05The truck will be competing against such trucks as Gravedigger and Bulldozer.
00:21:11So there's a reminder there about WCW Monster Trucks.
00:21:15I used to date those two.
00:21:16I think they're twins.
00:21:18What, Gravedigger or...
00:21:20Oh, stop.
00:21:22Bell sounds.
00:21:23Saturn gets in the ring, and Eddie Guerrero is going to try to end this one quickly here, Brie.
00:21:28That's what I would do.
00:21:29I wouldn't want to stay in there any more than I have to with Saturn.
00:21:31Of course, Eddie Guerrero is a tremendous athlete.
00:21:35He's so fast and so knowledgeable.
00:21:39Whoa.
00:21:41Saturn hit the safety rail very hard that time.
00:21:44As Conan looks on, and so does Kidman.
00:21:48And now Eddie immediately goes for the key.
00:21:53As he tries to climb, it's very...
00:21:55It's not going to be easy reaching that key, I can tell you, going to scale that pole.
00:21:59Saturn's got Eddie.
00:22:00Got the trucks, and down goes Eddie.
00:22:02Oh!
00:22:03Oh!
00:22:04Oh!
00:22:04Oh!
00:22:05Oh!
00:22:05Oh!
00:22:06Oh!
00:22:06Oh!
00:22:06Oh!
00:22:06Oh!
00:22:07Oh!
00:22:07Oh!
00:22:08Oh!
00:22:08Oh!
00:22:09Oh!
00:22:10Oh!
00:22:11Oh!
00:22:12It's just flaunting it all in the face of the filthy animals.
00:22:17Up and down, and a great move that time by Saturn.
00:22:21Has this been another wild night?
00:22:24Oh, it's getting better every Monday.
00:22:25This is, this is the place to be.
00:22:27We are having so much fun, man.
00:22:29I'm gonna tell you, it is, it is just a treat to be able to bring you this program.
00:22:33And on top of all this, we've got Scott Hall and Sid Vicious.
00:22:39I don't know what they're trying to do in the back, but Sid Vicious and Scott Hall.
00:22:43Oh!
00:22:43And a good move by Eddie.
00:22:44Have a tournament match still to come.
00:22:46Sting and Lex Luger from the World Tag Team title.
00:22:49Sting's agreed to it.
00:22:49Against the Filthy Animals.
00:22:53Eddie's going up.
00:22:54Yeah, I wonder.
00:22:56Put the Chalupa down.
00:22:57As Eddie is thwarted there by Shane Douglas.
00:23:03Oh!
00:23:04Oh, Eddie goes all the way to the floor.
00:23:06As the key remains secure up top.
00:23:10And you remember what Bret Hart said earlier?
00:23:14He's still here.
00:23:15He's not done.
00:23:16Something's gonna happen, I can tell you that.
00:23:17But what is it gonna be?
00:23:18Well, Bret Hart better go home.
00:23:20I'll tell you, he's not in condition.
00:23:22He's not in shape.
00:23:23He's not 100% to get in the ring.
00:23:25He's on crutches.
00:23:26He's got a hairline fracture.
00:23:28All the men he's against, the Outsiders and Sid Vicious, they're against each other.
00:23:32I mean, I know they walked out arm in arm, but Sid's gotta go against Scott Hall tonight in a tournament match.
00:23:38All right, fans, I-
00:23:39It's just getting better.
00:23:40You just don't know what's gonna happen next.
00:23:43We don't know.
00:23:44As the fight goes on and you take a very good look at the, at the struggle, at the pole, and he's holding on to that pole.
00:23:55And Sid's having none of it as he sends him out with a spectacular superplex from the turnbuckle pads.
00:24:03That took a lot out of Sid also.
00:24:10The Revolution.
00:24:10Dwayne Douglas trying to get him going.
00:24:12Yeah, and Asia right there, as the built animals look on.
00:24:15And the fans are getting in this as well.
00:24:16They're standing here.
00:24:18What's it gonna be for the Freedom of Tori?
00:24:20Screaming, come on, Eddie.
00:24:27And there you take a look at the Shark Cage.
00:24:30She's been locked in this since the opening second.
00:24:32Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.
00:24:35And the fans are behind Eddie here as well.
00:24:37Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.
00:24:42Now he's gonna go up and get that key.
00:24:46Oh, if he does, what, what are we gonna see?
00:24:52I don't know, but I'm ready for it.
00:24:53Oh, of course we are, but what could happen?
00:24:58I don't know if I'm ready for it or not, to be honest with you.
00:25:01He knows that he's got a free shot right now, but he's, I guess he wants to go back and punish Eddie a little bit more.
00:25:07I think he's a little apprehensive with the filthy animals all around that pole on the floor there.
00:25:12Well, obviously, I think that's a very good point that they would try to thwart any effort here.
00:25:16By Saturn, but Saturn apparently wants to punish Eddie Guerrero a little bit more here.
00:25:21Well, like I said earlier, these, these two teams really hate each other.
00:25:27Saturn just hammering Guerrero as Tori looks on.
00:25:31And now it dumps him on the outside, but he's not gonna go up top.
00:25:34He's gonna get chase.
00:25:37Oh.
00:25:38Oh, head first to the Shark Cage.
00:25:43Oh, my.
00:25:43And now Saturn.
00:25:45He's got the key.
00:25:46He wants it.
00:25:48No.
00:25:50I think they're making Tori sweat a little bit.
00:25:52I think you may be right.
00:25:55She's gotta be terrified.
00:25:56Yeah, those mind games, the intimidation, continue here.
00:26:02And Saturn right now, oh, Saturn gets shoved in the Shark Cage.
00:26:07And Tori has got Saturn all tied up.
00:26:11What is she using anyway?
00:26:13Whatever it is around the throne of Saturn who can't move.
00:26:16Saturn's helpless.
00:26:18He's helpless.
00:26:19And Eddie's going to get the key.
00:26:20And he's going up.
00:26:20He's trying to pull him down, but they pull Malenko down.
00:26:27And he's trying to get it.
00:26:32Just fingertips away.
00:26:34Standing on his tiptoes.
00:26:35He's trying to get up.
00:26:36And he can't do it.
00:26:40They greased the pole.
00:26:40They greased the pole.
00:26:42Kidman and Rey, both trying to help him, and he says, no, I'll do this on my own.
00:26:51He did it.
00:26:52Leaping in the air, Eddie has won the freedom of Tori.
00:26:56He's the two-hunter winner of the match, the Blue Hero.
00:27:01And you can't scale the pole, just use your God-given athletic ability.
00:27:06And that's what Eddie did.
00:27:08And now Tori gets her freedom and finally gets away.
00:27:11And now Tori gets her freedom and finally gets away from this revolution.
00:27:18As the can of Eddie goes out, still to come tonight, tournament matches continue.
00:27:29Scott Hall and Sid Vicious, can you imagine that's gonna go down tonight?
00:27:34A cage match, Benoit Malenko from the tournament.
00:27:38And Sting and Luger after the World Tag Team title.
00:27:45The celebration with the Kid Cam and the Filthy Animals and Tori back together again after a very frightening week for Tori Wilson.
00:27:53They're fighting over it.
00:27:55They're glad to have her back.
00:27:56Bet you it's not the first time.
00:27:58Bret Hart still in the building.
00:28:00What plans does he have for his enemies?
00:28:02As we go back to the backstage area.
00:28:09Sid, we're all on the same team here.
00:28:11I'm a family man.
00:28:12Sid, let me tell you, this isn't for me, Sid.
00:28:13This is for you.
00:28:14All you've got to do, Sid, is you've got to trust me.
00:28:27I trust you.
00:28:28Last time I trusted you two years ago, my queen has been in the .
00:28:34The world title tournament will culminate on the 21st of November at WCW Mayhem in Toronto,
00:28:52where the final four will go to try to buy for the WCW world title.
00:28:57It all started last week, remember what's saying?
00:29:00You've been stripped of the title.
00:29:02Last night you brutally attacked the WCW official, and the powers to be have determined that you should no longer be the champion.
00:29:09And furthermore, we're starting a 32-man tournament right here tonight to determine who should be the new champion.
00:29:18But you know, these guys, I think maybe you got them all wrong because they decided to throw you a bone and to give you a spot in the tournament.
00:29:26Hey, I'm only the messenger.
00:29:35Well, J.J., if you're the messenger, you wouldn't mind giving them this message from me, all right?
00:29:41No.
00:29:43Unprovoking a midsection of James J. Dillon, Sting is irate.
00:29:48Sting is not the champion.
00:29:51Govard is not the champion.
00:29:53As it stands right now, and Sting's not done.
00:29:56Have you ever seen Sting act like this brain?
00:29:58No, I've never seen him pierce hands on anybody but another wrestler.
00:30:01He's lost it right now.
00:30:02Total Package, once again this evening, you will join forces with Sting to challenge the Filthy Animals for the World Tag Team titles.
00:30:10But there's something else that I wanted you to comment on.
00:30:12If you look ahead at the WCW title tournament, next up you are scheduled to face either Ming or Sting.
00:30:19And judging from what went down earlier tonight...
00:30:21Wait a second, this is totally...
00:30:22What is this, a Jim Gray, Pete Rose remake?
00:30:24That's totally out of line.
00:30:25This is the biggest thing tonight.
00:30:26Sting in the total package.
00:30:28Isn't that right, Liz?
00:30:29Going for the World Tag Team titles?
00:30:31That's all I'm focused on.
00:30:32That's all Sting's focused on.
00:30:34And you are totally out of line bringing up the line of questioning.
00:30:37It's totally out of place this time, and I am out of here.
00:30:39Come on, Liz, let's go.
00:30:44Ladies and gentlemen, the following one full contest.
00:30:47It's for the WCW World Tag Team Championship.
00:30:51Introducing team number one, representing the Filthy Animals,
00:30:56and accompanied to the ring by Corey, Conan, and Kidman,
00:31:03the WCW World Tag Team Champions.
00:31:10I want to go back to Luger just a minute.
00:31:12It's really...
00:31:13I mean, he wouldn't even answer today's question.
00:31:15I smell a rat.
00:31:18Are you calling Elizabeth a rat?
00:31:20No.
00:31:21No.
00:31:22Is that what you mean?
00:31:23She was standing there.
00:31:24Now you say I smell a rat.
00:31:26No, you lame brain.
00:31:27You know what I mean.
00:31:28I mean Luger.
00:31:29Luger's a rat.
00:31:30And today was...
00:31:31Hit it right on the head today.
00:31:32He said you've got either Ming or you got Sting.
00:31:34Okay?
00:31:35So now my question is here.
00:31:38He was all too quick to rush into this tag team title match against the...
00:31:43That's not like a total package.
00:31:46So what's he got in store here in this match for his close friend Sting?
00:31:52You did call Liz a rat.
00:31:54I did not.
00:32:02Introducing the challengers.
00:32:04First, from Venice Beach, California.
00:32:07Ladies and gentlemen, this is Sting.
00:32:13We saw Sting's frame of mind in the tournament where he literally in about two minutes wiped out Brian Nobbs by use of that baseball bat.
00:32:26So he's in the tournament.
00:32:27We know Bret Hart.
00:32:29Nothing.
00:32:30He's not even 20% right now.
00:32:32Bret Hart, I would say.
00:32:3330% in the tournament.
00:32:34Jeff Jarrett's coming up wrestling for the first time in WCW.
00:32:38Long time in the tournament.
00:32:39Sid Vicious and Scott Hall will wrestle.
00:32:41Sting continues on.
00:32:43The total package continues on.
00:32:45And I tell you, unless something, unless he has a master plan, does the total package, he has a lot of problems ahead of him in the tournament.
00:32:55If you know what I mean, Brain.
00:32:57Well, there's a lot of problems.
00:32:58And when I say I smell a rat, you're trying to put words in my mouth.
00:33:02Are you calling Elizabeth a rat?
00:33:04No!
00:33:05Shut up.
00:33:06You're yelling at me.
00:33:07His tag team partner, accompanied to the ring by Elizabeth.
00:33:13He is from Chicago, Illinois.
00:33:16The total package!
00:33:21The total package and Sting vying for the world tag team titles.
00:33:26November 15th, Monday, we're going to be in Little Rocky, the brand new All-Tale Arena for Monday Nitro.
00:33:30Tickets, the box office and Ticketmaster.
00:33:32And then the day after Mayhem, Monday, November 22nd, the Palace of Auburn Hills outside of Metro Detroit.
00:33:37Tickets, the box office and Ticketmaster.
00:33:39Monday, November 29th, Monday Nitro, the brand new Pepsi Center in Denver.
00:33:43Get your tickets, the Pepsi Center box office and Ticketmaster.
00:33:46We talked about Mayhem, the first time a WCW pay-per-view held in Toronto in Canada.
00:33:52That's Sunday, November 21st at the Air Canada Center.
00:33:54Tickets at the box office and all Ticketmaster outlets for that event.
00:33:59That'll be huge.
00:34:01That's gonna be a big one.
00:34:02Final four of this 32-man tournament will go to Toronto that night.
00:34:06They will find semifinal matches, then the final two left will battle for the vacated WCW world title that night.
00:34:13And Mayhem.
00:34:14And Sting and Luger.
00:34:17I think Luger, the package that wanted him to have closed down, but Sting wanted to get right into the action.
00:34:23Look at the face of the total package.
00:34:24He was just taking off the attire there.
00:34:34How about that?
00:34:35He was taking off his pants, Sting was cleaning the house.
00:34:41Luger has, Luger has run his mouth tonight more than we have ever seen.
00:34:48I tell you something.
00:34:49But you're right, he's got a plan.
00:34:50You're not kidding.
00:34:51Hey, you know, I know you like elaborate plans and if it all comes to fruition, you're gonna be the first one to say, hey, I like what he did.
00:35:01Of course.
00:35:02I like a thinking man's wrestling.
00:35:04This doesn't get out there with sheer muscles and strength.
00:35:08I like a guy who uses his head.
00:35:10Why do you think they call him the brain?
00:35:11I wasn't the biggest guy in the sport, but I survived because I used my brain.
00:35:15And I stepped, I mean, I took care of a lot of people.
00:35:18What were you getting ready to say?
00:35:19I sta- I sta-
00:35:20What does that mean?
00:35:21You stabbed a lot of people in the back?
00:35:22Oh, I wasn't going to say that.
00:35:23Oh, I know.
00:35:24You stayed.
00:35:25You stayed in the business a lot.
00:35:26I stayed behind.
00:35:27Stayed behind you.
00:35:28Yeah.
00:35:29Well, the total package says, let me start.
00:35:34Isn't that big of him?
00:35:36What is that?
00:35:39What was that?
00:35:41Ah, man, I see something different here than me.
00:35:44Me too.
00:35:49Yes, sir.
00:35:50And we've not necessarily talked about Tory.
00:35:54Kidman, on the Filthy Animals, went out of the Tag Team Chance,
00:35:58tried to get a jump start.
00:35:59And don't forget, we've got Scott Hall and Sid Vicious.
00:36:02And what's going on back there?
00:36:04There's some sort of master-
00:36:05Wait a minute, he may have blown his knee.
00:36:07Well, maybe you're right.
00:36:17He went for a tag.
00:36:20The total package.
00:36:22And Sting is in.
00:36:24And the package all the way to the floor.
00:36:28You cannot see him from this vantage point, but he is on the other side.
00:36:45And now Rey Mysterio Jr. is in.
00:36:48And Eddie Guerrero's in.
00:36:49Luger's been no help.
00:36:50None.
00:36:51And Sting, there's the package, and Sting is being hammered by four guys.
00:36:54Well, that's the way the filthy animals operate.
00:36:57Yeah, but hold on, you're.
00:37:00Gang rule.
00:37:02Hang on here.
00:37:03And they're using Sting's bat.
00:37:06That's the way the filthy animals operate.
00:37:09Yeah, but hold on.
00:37:11Gang rule.
00:37:12Hang on here.
00:37:14They're using Sting's bat.
00:37:17That's the way the filthy animals operate.
00:37:20They're using Sting's bat.
00:37:24This looks too, this doesn't.
00:37:28Where's Luger?
00:37:29I said I smell a rat and by golly, I know I do now.
00:37:32You being an authority on rats.
00:37:34Yeah, hey, watch it, what?
00:37:38Now he comes back in.
00:37:41I'm watching him, I'm watching him.
00:37:45The total package finally limps back in.
00:37:49What, do you think he's gold-bricking?
00:37:50Well, yes, I do.
00:37:52Hey, as he takes over beating Sting,
00:37:57I mean, is it coincidence that Ming and Sting have been beaten since we're here tonight?
00:38:03Is it coincidence he may have to face one of these two men if he wants to move
00:38:06through the tournament?
00:38:07Sting is very angry, and that's putting it mildly at this guy.
00:38:13Well, Luger was doing the best he could, he got injured.
00:38:17Oh, come on, Green.
00:38:19You don't believe that.
00:38:21Just like last week, you just touch me, I'll go down.
00:38:24You cover me, one, two, three.
00:38:26Just like we did with the broads last week.
00:38:28That easy.
00:38:28Tell me, I got nothing left to prove in this business.
00:38:31And what are you going to be doing?
00:38:33I'm just actually sitting there thinking of doing these little skits all day,
00:38:36I'm basically burning the bridge I have in the business,
00:38:38so I'm basically stuck here having run a glishing powder.
00:38:40But you're on the team, right?
00:38:43Do this, right?
00:38:44Yeah.
00:38:52We're starting a 32-man tournament.
00:38:55To crown a brand new WCW champion.
00:38:58Many champions will get their shot, but only one man can obtain the most coveted possession.
00:39:04The world heavyweight belt.
00:39:06Who will be the last man standing?
00:39:08As Electronic Arts presents WCW Mayhem.
00:39:12Sunday, November 21st, live and only on pay-per-view.
00:39:15Call your cable or satellite company to order now.
00:39:18Come on, animals.
00:39:34I'll show you what this is.
00:39:39Ladies and gentlemen, this one full contest continues round number one of the WCW
00:39:46World Heavyweight Championship Tournament.
00:39:49Introducing first, from 110th Street in Harlem, New York.
00:39:54He represents the team of World of Heat, the good team.
00:40:01If you see Sting walking around out back and he noticed that he shoved Luger down,
00:40:06we already know the mindset he's been in since what happened last week.
00:40:10Since he was basically stripped of the title.
00:40:12And he beat up Brian Nobbs, and now he shoves the total package down.
00:40:16Now he's living with the filthy animals, and now all of a sudden, out of nowhere,
00:40:19here comes Jeff Jarrett.
00:40:21We'll go back to that story in a moment, but right now,
00:40:23Jarrett's first tour of duty in WCW, and he's returned, and he is wasting no time.
00:40:29Oh, he's in it with a real tough guy, Booker T.
00:40:33He wants to use his guitar.
00:40:36And Charles Robinson stopped him cold in his tracks that time.
00:40:40And we're gonna find out if Jarrett, in effect, is the man, he says, the chosen one.
00:40:46The man destined to be on top of the heap.
00:40:49He may be right.
00:40:50He's the only man I know that plays a guitar like a drum.
00:40:54Booker T, one of the finest athletes we have, is firing right back on Jarrett.
00:41:00This is a tournament match, and like all these tournament matches,
00:41:04you don't know what to expect next.
00:41:06We've got strong matches, hardcore matches.
00:41:09We've got a cage match between Malenko and Benoit.
00:41:12We've got Sid wrestling Scott Hall, and they're in the back talking about it.
00:41:16And before the match even happened, what's gonna happen when they come out?
00:41:19Put them all in a cage.
00:41:22It's fine with me.
00:41:24It's hard to tell what's gonna happen.
00:41:26Jarrett.
00:41:28As that inside pressing kick from Booker T, he nailed Jarrett.
00:41:34He goes down.
00:41:35Ducks low.
00:41:36Jarrett goes down.
00:41:37Another shot there by Booker T.
00:41:40Hooking a far-legged.
00:41:41No.
00:41:42Boy, that was close.
00:41:43Man alive, Booker T, a little complaining here.
00:41:46As Jarrett now shoves him on the outside, and nothing else to buy a little time.
00:41:53Head first to the top step goes Booker T.
00:42:00Now he still can't get over the total package.
00:42:05You gotta get him credit.
00:42:06He's stirring up the back.
00:42:08Stirring up the back.
00:42:09He is an opportunistic free look.
00:42:12Creative control has come out.
00:42:14You think that's coincidence they would come out here and watch Jeff Jarrett wrestling?
00:42:19What do you think?
00:42:20Jeff Jarrett says he's the chosen one.
00:42:21If he is, then obviously, but then again, I don't know.
00:42:26I mean.
00:42:27That's right.
00:42:28You don't know.
00:42:29Could be anything.
00:42:30They seem to be very calm and just cool and collected just watching what's going on here.
00:42:35I don't know if they're watching the favorite shot here.
00:42:38Booker T.
00:42:39One, two, three.
00:42:40Almost beat him again, but Jarrett comes away with the Larian.
00:42:45One, two.
00:42:46Booker T kicks away.
00:42:47It's a very intimidating sight in the foreground there, or in the background that is.
00:42:52With the big creative control that's too bad have been the hitmen, so to speak, of the powers that be.
00:42:59Meanwhile, sleeper hold is on, and Booker T tries to fight this off.
00:43:05Does nicely.
00:43:07Puts on one of his own on Jarrett.
00:43:11He didn't have it on good, though.
00:43:14This is gonna be good, though.
00:43:15Booker T's got him up.
00:43:16Ah!
00:43:21No movement from the big guys at the entranceway.
00:43:25The axe kick obliterates Jarrett.
00:43:28He's up.
00:43:30Is he ever?
00:43:33Harlem sidekick.
00:43:37Uh-oh.
00:43:38Creative controls come out.
00:43:41They have come up.
00:43:43Booker T has left the building.
00:43:48Wow.
00:43:49I think that speaks volumes about who the chosen one is.
00:43:58That's right.
00:43:59I mean, it was right in the midst of the Booker T flurry.
00:44:03Right in the midst.
00:44:05The Goldberg interview is next.
00:44:07The one mistake that the outsiders have sent me is that they left me lying.
00:44:12But I was still breathing.
00:44:14I was able to get up and I was able to walk out.
00:44:16And that's a mistake they're gonna live to regret.
00:44:19Because as long as I can do those things, they're gonna have to have eyes in the back of their head.
00:44:23Bill Goldberg, we want to thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule.
00:44:28We're here in Southern California on the set of the upcoming WCW Warner Brothers movie.
00:44:33You know, I can still tell by that intense look in your eyes that you are outraged from the attack this past Monday on Nitro by Sid Vicious and the outsiders.
00:44:42You know what, Tanay?
00:44:43It doesn't take a genius to figure out how pissed off I am and how pissed off I was about what happened Monday night.
00:44:49But I can tell you one thing.
00:44:51This intensity in my eyes, it's nothing compared to the hell that I'm gonna put those three through.
00:44:56And I don't know whether Sid is too brave or too stupid to figure it out, to figure out when to quit.
00:45:02But I can guarantee you the next time I get him in the ring, I'm gonna make that Halloween Havoc match look like a PTA meeting.
00:45:09And there'll be no doctor alive that'll be able to sew him back up.
00:45:12It was obvious that you took an awful lot of punishment from both the outsiders as well as Sid Vicious,
00:45:17especially the devastating power bomb from Sid this past Monday on Nitro.
00:45:21Can you tell us how you felt both mentally and physically after Nitro went off the air?
00:45:26Mentally and physically.
00:45:28You know, you make it a point to be in the back, right?
00:45:30Absolutely.
00:45:31Since you didn't see, since you didn't get the reaction from everybody, let me tell you firsthand that there was no suit,
00:45:36there was no wrestler that would get anywhere near me and ask me what the hell went on.
00:45:41But you know why?
00:45:42Because I probably would have ripped their heads clean off.
00:45:44You know, one mistake that the outsiders and Sid made was that they left me lying.
00:45:49But I was still breathing.
00:45:51I was able to get up and I was able to walk out.
00:45:53And that's a mistake they're gonna live to regret.
00:45:56Because as long as I can do those things, they're gonna have to have eyes in the back of their head.
00:46:00Bill, one final question.
00:46:02I think it's obvious that the outsiders, as well as Sid Vicious, have a common goal.
00:46:07They're gonna dog you with every step that you take.
00:46:09And that question is, can even Bill Goldberg alone overcome those odds?
00:46:15Well, you know what?
00:46:17I haven't ever asked for help in the past and I sure as hell ain't gonna start now.
00:46:20I don't care if it's three on one, whether it's 12 on one.
00:46:24I don't care whether they bring the damn cavalry on or not.
00:46:27It doesn't make a difference to me.
00:46:29Because at the end of the day, my job's gonna be to get those three out of this business for good.
00:46:34Let's go!
00:46:36Ladies, ladies, whoa!
00:46:37Whoa, ladies, whoa!
00:46:38Not that I wouldn't like to see a good drag bite, but let's save this to ladies for pay-per-view.
00:46:55Get it?
00:46:57Evan Courageous, tonight it's your opportunity to shine in the WCW World's title tournament.
00:47:02However, your opponent, Medusa, poses a very interesting challenge.
00:47:05Well, Mike, I'm real excited to be in the tournament, but I've never wrestled a woman before.
00:47:11No disrespect to Medusa or anything, but, well, she's just hot.
00:47:15There's something about her.
00:47:16I mean, I just hope when it's all over we can be friends and may the best competitor win.
00:47:23Medusa, the powers that be here in World Championship Wrestling,
00:47:26have decided to give you yet another chance in the world's title tournament.
00:47:30However, your opponent once again is a member of the opposite sex in Evan Courageous.
00:47:35You know, these powers that be, they're really getting a kick out of having me compete against boys, huh, Tanae?
00:47:42Seems that way.
00:47:43It does seem that way.
00:47:44Well, I've got news for them.
00:47:46I intend to take full advantage of the situation.
00:47:49They should never, ever underestimate a woman.
00:47:53Especially me, if you know what I mean.
00:47:55I know what she means.
00:47:58I know what she means.
00:47:59Fans, last week we announced a special WCW New Year's Eve on Monday Nitro Show.
00:48:02It's our last Monday Nitro of the year.
00:48:04It's happening at the Houston Astrodome on December 27th.
00:48:06Fans, you have a chance to be there with us.
00:48:08Log on to WCW.com and find out how we go to our next tournament.
00:48:13Match with David Pinter announcing the participants.
00:48:17Ladies and gentlemen, the following WCW World Champion Tournament match is set for one call.
00:48:24Introducing first, making her way to the ring, from Orlando, Florida, Mandusa!
00:48:35Like the world's sexiest barber pole.
00:48:41Evan Courageous, her opponent.
00:48:46And Evan, let's talk about what we've seen.
00:48:49Medusa thinks she's going to turn the tables on the powers that be.
00:48:54And Evan Courageous seems to be kind of enthralled with Medusa.
00:48:57As a matter of fact, he helped her out of the ring, if we'll recall.
00:49:00And Evan Courageous had her match last week with Ming.
00:49:04And, you know, what do you think's going on here, Brady?
00:49:07I think the powers that be are having a lot of fun here with Medusa saying that she's the...
00:49:13Did I see what I thought I saw right there?
00:49:15I don't know what you see, but, I mean, did you see where her hand...
00:49:18Anyway, they're having a lot of fun at her expense.
00:49:21You know, she always said she's a classic, great wrestler.
00:49:24She says, hey, I'm not a sex symbol, I'm a wrestler.
00:49:27So they're letting her...
00:49:30And so is Evan Courageous letting her do whatever.
00:49:32They're letting her go in the ring, giving her this unprecedented
00:49:34that someone will be giving a second chance in this prestigious tournament.
00:49:38They're up to something.
00:49:40Boy, are they Evan.
00:49:42And Courageous is about to explode.
00:49:46Boy, she lured him right into that now, didn't she?
00:49:53Keep your mind on your business, boy.
00:50:03I mean, he's got a match here.
00:50:06What's...
00:50:10You gonna help me out here, Brady?
00:50:12Huh?
00:50:14You talking to me?
00:50:16Yeah, I am.
00:50:18Talk to the people.
00:50:19I wanna watch this.
00:50:28You know, you gotta give her credit.
00:50:29She's...
00:50:33She's using here her attributes to get a distinctive advantage.
00:50:38Did I say that right?
00:50:39Please, someone tell me.
00:50:40Here's a...
00:50:430-1 count.
00:50:44He don't know what to do.
00:50:47Can you blame him?
00:50:48I mean, this is...
00:50:49The poor young man is absolutely mesmerized.
00:50:53He's smitten.
00:50:55Boy, is that...
00:50:58Smith.
00:50:59He's...
00:51:00How'd he go?
00:51:09One, two, she beating.
00:51:11Is he smooching him?
00:51:14Yes, he's smooching him.
00:51:16Do you think he cares about winning or losing?
00:51:19Medusa, in her own way, has advanced.
00:51:29And coming up next, as Malenko goes to the ring,
00:51:32gonna lower the steel cage in the tournament.
00:51:34There you see Chris Benoit.
00:51:36He's getting ready.
00:51:37They'll come out.
00:51:38They'll lower the cage.
00:51:39Coming up next in the tournament.
00:51:42And what do we have?
00:51:43My God, it's David Flair.
00:51:46And Crowbar.
00:51:47And Crowbar.
00:51:48Look at his face.
00:51:49He's coming inside.
00:51:55We're back and it's time for the Big Cage Match.
00:51:58In the Tournament Academy World Championship.
00:52:01Ladies and gentlemen, the Tournament Contest is set for one fall.
00:52:05It will be held in the confines of a steel cage.
00:52:09Introducing first representing the revolution,
00:52:12The Iceman, Dean Arvico.
00:52:17A couple of points official attention WCW fans in the UK.
00:52:21Be sure to tune in next week to Nitro on TNT and worldwide on Channel 5 in the UK for a big announcement involving personal appearances in the UK by Scott Hall and Kevin Nash.
00:52:31Dave Pinter, take it away.
00:52:33And his opponent, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, is the Crippler, Chris Benoit.
00:52:44Tune in next week for more details.
00:52:46And as the cage is lowered, it's time for these two men who had such a battle last week, the last man left standing this time.
00:52:54As David Pinter says, the confines of the steel cage.
00:52:58This is a first round tournament match.
00:53:01And you can better believe that cage is going to come into play here, Brain.
00:53:05No doubt about it.
00:53:06Malinko didn't even wait for him to lock the door.
00:53:08He went right after Benoit.
00:53:09And that's the way these two went the last time they fought.
00:53:12Toe to toe, last man standing one.
00:53:14Benoit got the win this time, but I don't think Malinko's going to let him do it this time.
00:53:18He's going to make sure he beats this man.
00:53:20This has been such a heated disagreement, a heated rivalry in a very short period of time.
00:53:26And it's all because of how close they were at one time.
00:53:32Cage is finally locked here.
00:53:34And these two men, the one man will advance in the tournament.
00:53:38One man will be left behind.
00:53:39Medusa, as you've seen, has already advanced in her own incredible fashion.
00:53:45And Scott Paul and Sid Vista still would come here.
00:53:49Medusa never broke a sweat.
00:53:53I guess she didn't.
00:53:54That's one way of saying it.
00:53:56Into the ropes.
00:53:57Ducky low is Dean Malinko, and the Crippler takes full advantage of it.
00:54:02Oh.
00:54:03He hit the cage, and there was power bombs.
00:54:07Cover.
00:54:09Malinko kicks out in two.
00:54:12Well, if you got that much cage around you, thousands of pounds of steel, you might as well use it.
00:54:16Well, you're talking about a volatile set of circumstances.
00:54:23How about the fact that we've seen David Flair walk in here?
00:54:26You know, I just can't wait till this match is over, because I want to see Sid, and I want to see Scott Hall, and I want to see just what they got planned, just what they're going to do.
00:54:34Because you know when you've got the Outsiders involved, with Hall and Nash, they're always up to something.
00:54:39They're going to be something cute, it's going to be dangerous, and I don't know if they're trying to trap Sid in, or Sid's outsmarting them, and letting them think he's trapped them in.
00:54:49Who knows, but it's going to be something to see.
00:54:51Don't touch that clicker.
00:54:53I think the cuteness is maybe all gone from the Outsiders.
00:54:56It's been played out here tonight.
00:54:58They're cute with a capital C.
00:55:01Nothing cute about what's going on in the cage here, because not just any steel cage, so much on the line.
00:55:09And remember, the final four of this tournament goes on to mayhem on November 21st in Toronto.
00:55:16They'll wrestle the semifinal matches, and then the catapult, watch out!
00:55:21The final match will be held to crown a new WCW champion that night on Sunday, November 21st.
00:55:28And I wonder tonight, what happens if Scott Hall opens up a big Sid,
00:55:35if he's got those stitches on the top of his head there from Goldberg?
00:55:40This could be a mess.
00:55:41Might be a weak point, you're exactly right.
00:55:43Head first goes Benoit to the steel cage.
00:55:46The second tower of battering rain.
00:55:48I mean, he mashed the forehand into the chain link fence.
00:55:53And make up the walls of the cage, and
00:55:57refills it into a tombstone pile driver.
00:55:59But there's nothing left for Benoit to make a cover here as he checks his forehead.
00:56:04That has to be cut.
00:56:05He hit about three or four times real good.
00:56:09Seems to be okay, though, as he's gonna go way up.
00:56:14Trying for one of his signature maneuvers.
00:56:19I think he's going to the top of the cage.
00:56:22That's exactly where it looks like he's going, but Malenko is giving chase.
00:56:28Got him all hooked.
00:56:31And they both dropped down hard.
00:56:32I think Malenko may have took the brunt of that break.
00:56:35Sure had to do a 30-pound man on his shot.
00:56:37Coming out of nowhere, Sadler.
00:56:39Here he said to the Revolution.
00:56:41This cannot be good for Chris Benoit.
00:56:43Sadler to the former Army Ranger.
00:56:48Boy, and he climbs right off the side of that cage, scales it.
00:56:54He threw a chain in to Malenko, but Benoit's got it.
00:56:57Benoit's got the chain, you're right.
00:56:59Good call, Bray.
00:57:00Threw it in.
00:57:01Sadler hit hard.
00:57:02Malenko goes down.
00:57:03Now he's going up.
00:57:07Sadler got the- Look at this, Tony.
00:57:10He's going all the way up to the top.
00:57:11He's gotta be 14, 15 feet.
00:57:13Look at this.
00:57:20God.
00:57:21He connected.
00:57:22It's over.
00:57:24Of course.
00:57:25And now we got Sadler and Scott Hall.
00:57:28And it just keeps getting better and better and better.
00:57:32Benoit advances in the tournament.
00:57:35But now it's Perry Sadler finally getting into the cage.
00:57:39And now the revolution coming in.
00:57:42Asia brings in Shane Douglas.
00:57:47Benoit may have advanced.
00:57:50No, that very hard.
00:57:52It's a cast.
00:57:53It's against a plastic brace is what it is.
00:57:55At the mercy of the revolution.
00:58:00Now Asia, as he picked up it, holds him out for a knee from Shane Douglas.
00:58:06This is revolution vengeance.
00:58:09And you gotta believe some of this is the frustration of losing Tori.
00:58:13Wait a minute, Tori.
00:58:14Tony, they got handcuffs on his shackles.
00:58:17They're shuffling his ankles to the ropes.
00:58:20He's got nowhere to go.
00:58:22He's helpless.
00:58:24Chris Benoit.
00:58:27And they're not, they've got handcuffs on the arms now.
00:58:30Legs and arms are hurt.
00:58:33To the ring roll.
00:58:34And look at Dean Maliko just lay him in.
00:58:36Absolutely helpless at the mercy of three men and one woman.
00:58:42I haven't seen this many handcuffs on the first room in the afternoon.
00:58:49And he's going nowhere.
00:58:51Here comes one of the filthy animals.
00:58:52It's Ray Jr.
00:58:53He's going into a no man's right here.
00:58:57The animals come out.
00:58:59They're on.
00:59:00They're on.
00:59:01Down goes.
00:59:03Level three was Asia.
00:59:06She took him apart.
00:59:08And they're just, they're feeding right in.
00:59:11I mean, they're open shots here.
00:59:13Look at the revolutions in charge.
00:59:15And Benoit is still shackled to the ropes.
00:59:18Hand-cut and shackled.
00:59:20Asia's got Kidman.
00:59:22Kidman sandwiches are back into a corner.
00:59:24And it's absolute carnage in the ring.
00:59:27The animals are getting the upper hand here.
00:59:30The animals now turn the tide on the revolution.
00:59:35Hold on, who's that?
00:59:37It is David Flair.
00:59:40What about this?
00:59:41David Flair with memories haunting him of Halloween Havoc.
00:59:46And look at this, they're trying to get away from this stuff.
00:59:49He's gonna try to seriously injure someone.
00:59:52That's something I don't know.
00:59:55I don't know.
00:59:56I don't know who that is.
00:59:57But that's not the David Flair.
00:59:58I know the meek, mild-mannered young man.
01:00:01Look at him.
01:00:03He's like he's possessed.
01:00:05The revolution.
01:00:08He's gonna hit Benoit.
01:00:09He doesn't know what to do next.
01:00:11He has no idea.
01:00:12The banner's completely snapped.
01:00:14He has no idea what's going on.
01:00:17And he looks down.
01:00:19He apparently has picked up with Key.
01:00:23As the third animal back goes Stig.
01:00:26Stig always looking for the animals that found them.
01:00:29And we still have Hall and St. Vicious.
01:00:35And we got buddies everywhere.
01:00:37David Flair is unlocking Chris Benoit.
01:00:40He has come into the air to push Benoit.
01:00:44And look at the animals, they're down and out.
01:00:47Wouldn't you be if you were working over with a crowbar?
01:00:50Sid Vicious and Scott Hallward.
01:00:52Okay, moments ago this happened.
01:00:59Asia just absolutely, look at this.
01:01:01She absolutely, look at this.
01:01:03She ripped that chain from the cage, allowing the revolution to come in.
01:01:11But here was the winning move spectacular, the carnage.
01:01:15But Tony, there's David Flair came in from behind.
01:01:20Waffle Conan.
01:01:21Right.
01:01:22Or Rey Mysterio.
01:01:23I mean, this was a man who would, I mean, look at this.
01:01:27Kidman saw it, he said, forget about this.
01:01:29Kidman got hit.
01:01:30Right in the lower back.
01:01:31In the lower back.
01:01:32All from David Flair.
01:01:34Half crowbar will travel.
01:01:40My, my.
01:01:44He just got wiped down in the parking lot.
01:01:47What's this?
01:01:50And he's out of pull.
01:01:53That is him.
01:01:54Who's driving the car?
01:01:55I.
01:01:57That's Kimberly.
01:01:59There's your answer, brain.
01:02:01You're right.
01:02:02She did have something to do.
01:02:03Something was on her mind.
01:02:04This woman is possessed.
01:02:09Now about that.
01:02:12What in the world do you think of this?
01:02:16Well, that's payback for her husband.
01:02:22David's hurt.
01:02:26Get some help in here.
01:02:35Come on.
01:02:39All right, we're looking in the back.
01:02:40What's going on here?
01:02:41Get some help in here.
01:02:43Get some help in the court.
01:02:44Get some help in here.
01:02:46Get the end of the match.
01:02:47Get on the verge of this final tournament match tonight.
01:02:49And Kevin Nash is down in the back.
01:02:52And Kevin Nash is down in the back.
01:02:56Ladies and gentlemen, this is your WCW Monday Night Show.
01:03:01Maybe been a good evening.
01:03:02And it is the final first round of match in the WCW World Heavyweight Championship Tournament.
01:03:11In the main course, Montgomery, Arkansas is the center of the hand for William and Jesus Christ.
01:03:22And Sid Vicious comes to the ring and Bret Hart's belt.
01:03:28Good point.
01:03:29The belt that Bret Hart's name is running along the Goldberg.
01:03:33Quickly, hello, pick down in Milwaukee, Arkansas, what's happening.
01:03:36Tickets are on sale in all of those three cities.
01:03:41More big events coming up later in the month of November.
01:03:48As Sid Vicious comes to the ring.
01:03:50Now, I've got to ask some questions here.
01:03:53I mean, Kevin Nash, it appeared, did I hear this right, that Scott Hall said that Bret Hart got in there and attacked Kevin Nash?
01:04:02And if that's the case, when Scott Hall comes out, what's going to happen?
01:04:06Have they worked out some sort of a deal that they've been talking about?
01:04:08They were all buddy-buddy in the back.
01:04:10Yeah, but you can't trust Sid Vicious and you can't trust Scott Hall.
01:04:13Anything can happen, David.
01:04:16And his opponent, from Giulio to Florida, he is one half of the Outsiders, Scott Hall!
01:04:25When you strip it all away, you know that Scott Hall wants him to become world champion, you know that Sid Vicious does.
01:04:33You know every wrestler does.
01:04:34That's why, and Ernest and Cat Miller would come back two weeks ahead of the time he should have, and then go down to Elijah LaRue because he couldn't take it.
01:04:43Hey, Luger, that's why Luger would do the things he's doing, it's all been gone, this is it, this is for the WCW world title, and look, look at the face of Scott Hall, that's not the, the face of a guy who's not worried about what's, he's very concerned about what's going on.
01:05:04You know, it's obvious to me that someone attacked Nash in the back, I don't know who it could be.
01:05:07Well, he said it was Bret Hart.
01:05:11It must have been.
01:05:13One finger, he goes down.
01:05:17No, he rolls him up.
01:05:19Double cross.
01:05:20He double-crossed Sid, didn't he?
01:05:23Anyone talking about going down with one finger.
01:05:26Well, he's got Hall, he's coming to fight, and he paid for it, as his jaw got racked that time by Sid Vicious.
01:05:31And he went down hard, Johnny.
01:05:34Bret Hart promised that something would go down, and something obviously did in the back.
01:05:38And now you can throw out all the handshakes, all the deals.
01:05:42This one has developed into quite a battle to advance in the WCW World Title Tournament.
01:05:51And I believe that this is Scott Hall's first match since his return.
01:05:54Not counting in singles competition, you're right, not counting the tag match we had of sorts last week, but you're right.
01:06:03And what a way to get back into it, high profile, Sid Vicious, the man who proved time and time again in Halloween Havoc,
01:06:12that he was one of the most awesome, and is the most awesome forces in our sport today.
01:06:18Backbreaker by Vicious.
01:06:24Hall and him with one finger, and then now Sid Vicious.
01:06:27Well, there's too much at stake here.
01:06:29I knew you couldn't trust anyone.
01:06:30I mean, guys who stand their own mothers in the back for a shot at the championship of the world.
01:06:35Absolutely, that's what it's all about, and I think Sid may have realized it.
01:06:41The reason I do, when he went down to cover Scott, and Scott did the inside cradle, he didn't pit him.
01:06:47Sid had enough whereabouts to kick away from him, so I think Sid still to a certain extent still had his guard up a little bit.
01:06:53Now, they don't trust each other, you can't, you've been in the business as long as these guys,
01:06:58you just don't trust anybody.
01:07:00The haunting chants of Goldberg ring out here at the Target Center in Minneapolis.
01:07:06Goldberg, of course, on the set of Ready to Rumble, the new WCW movie, but thinking as you heard in the interview earlier about what he's gonna do to get back.
01:07:17He is out of the hunt, and that is incredible, to become the world champ.
01:07:22So for Goldberg, forget about the world title he's thinking of.
01:07:26Two of the three men in the ring, and the other, of course, being Kevin Nash,
01:07:32who's been laid out, obviously, from Bret Hart moments ago.
01:07:37So when Goldberg gets back, believe you me, there's gonna be, as he said, hell to pay.
01:07:44I mean, we didn't see who laid out Nash.
01:07:47No, but I only heard what, what I believe when I heard Scott Hall say, it was Bret Hart got to it.
01:07:53And I don't know if it means he witnessed it, or he assumes it, or what happened.
01:07:58But the fact is, he came out here without his quote unquote promoter, who had been tonight so
01:08:04much a part of this television program.
01:08:06And what a wild television program it has been.
01:08:13And it all comes down to two men trying to go into the second round.
01:08:19This tournament exclusively here on Nitro, with the Final Four to go on to Mayhem.
01:08:25Sunday, November 21st in Toronto.
01:08:29Two semifinal matches that night for the Final Four, and one final match to crown a brand new WCW Heavyweight Champion.
01:08:37Whoa. Scott Hall, that's a comeback.
01:08:40And he knows from seeing Halloween Havoc, it's gonna take one heck of an effort to keep some vision down.
01:08:46He grabbed Hall, the referee, got dumped on that one.
01:08:50A truck slam Hall's down.
01:08:52And the referee is as well.
01:08:56And now, Sid Vicious could be a powerbomb away from going to the next round.
01:09:05He's looking.
01:09:07He can taste it, he feels it.
01:09:08Yeah, I think he looked towards the referee and realizing what happened here.
01:09:11Yeah.
01:09:13Hall, as Red Heart comes hobbling out of the crutches.
01:09:17Now you're gonna find out why they call him the Hitman.
01:09:19Yeah, I tell you, he is not done.
01:09:21Red Heart, here's the powerbomb that he'll never see.
01:09:27He has something to say to Scott Hall, as Sid Vicious is out.
01:09:38He's gonna whack Hall as well.
01:09:43Hey, Hall.
01:09:46Hall, out in the nick of time, or his head would have been taken right out.
01:09:51Red Heart's not capable of chasing.
01:09:53No, he's not.
01:09:54Look at this, Hall's going into the pit.
01:09:55He scoots around the other side, he'll make the pit, and he'll win it.
01:09:58He was an opportunist, he was there at the right time.
01:10:02Scott Hall, wait a minute, that is, he's got the US map that Sid Vicious put around his waist, but never won in the first place.
01:10:15The fact is, Scott Hall is your winner, and he goes on, on Nitro.
01:10:21Let's go.
01:10:22Let's go.
01:10:23Let's go.
01:10:24Let's go.
