00:00:00Oh my gosh!
00:00:02Someone give me some help here!
00:00:03Liz!
00:00:04I need some EMTs, a doctor, a cane or something!
00:00:07Oh, I blew up my knee bad.
00:00:09Oh my gosh.
00:00:11Pain, it's unbelievable.
00:00:13What is it, ACL?
00:00:14Both? MCL?
00:00:15I mean, what is it?
00:00:16Mr. Passage, we can't find anything wrong with your knee.
00:00:18You can't find anything wrong with my...
00:00:20Can you believe this?
00:00:21Get me to a doctor or something.
00:00:22I need some pain medication.
00:00:23I need some attention here.
00:00:25Get me out of here.
00:00:26Here she goes.
00:00:27What do you think about that?
00:00:28Do you think he's really hurt or do you think...
00:00:30I mean, he picked up that slippery wind wet thing where Duggan was...
00:00:34A sign where Duggan was mopping.
00:00:36I mean, it's to me Duggan put too much soap on the floor.
00:00:39Duggan blew another job.
00:00:41That was nowhere where Duggan was mopping.
00:00:44Duggan's been mopping all over the place.
00:00:46The EMTs said there was nothing wrong with the leg.
00:00:50I wouldn't let those two treat my cat.
00:00:53All right, and here's another tournament match.
00:00:59Gary Saturn of the Revolution is going to face Bret Hart.
00:01:03Bret Hart, another man who's going to wrestle nice tonight.
00:01:05We wonder as we're heading now to the Total Package and Sid Vicious,
00:01:11the condition of the Total Package in his feature bout tonight.
00:01:15You don't think that he would be fading that injury because he has to wrestle Sid Viciously.
00:01:20No.
00:01:21He went down on the floor.
00:01:23He was yelling for help.
00:01:25That's not hard to do.
00:01:27I mean, I could fall down on the floor and yell for help.
00:01:31Here comes Bret Hart.
00:01:34As he comes, as he comes to the arena, we are joined by Shane Douglas.
00:01:48Okay, Shane Douglas has the microphone as it hits it on.
00:01:54Go ahead and talk now.
00:01:56Your mic's not on.
00:01:58Microphone on. That's it. The franchise, Shane Douglas.
00:02:02You've been behind this, Shivani. I've known it from day one.
00:02:05Now, let me talk about Perry Saturn, the jack-of-all-trades.
00:02:09In there with a washed-up has-been.
00:02:12A washed-up?
00:02:13Perry Saturn does everything better than Bret Hart.
00:02:16He's stronger than Bret Hart. He's faster than Bret Hart.
00:02:19He's more knowledgeable of Mount Wrestling than Bret Hart,
00:02:22and he's got more kick-ass attitude than Bret Hart.
00:02:25Shane, like I said a while back, I believe you're the man to take charge of this.
00:02:29I believe you're the man to cement this group together.
00:02:32There's a reason they call you Brain, Bobby.
00:02:35And there's a reason they call you the franchise.
00:02:37Yes, sir.
00:02:38And Tony was the one that turned up your headset. I saw him.
00:02:40I knew it. I knew it. How many times have he done it to you, Bobby?
00:02:43Uh, four times tonight.
00:02:45That's ridiculous.
00:02:46Uh, I, I, I... Forget it. Talk.
00:02:50Now, notice how Perry is turned back in to Bret Hart,
00:02:53taking the pressure off his shoulder.
00:02:55It's a great strategy, but a great wrestler Perry Saturn is.
00:02:58Now, if I was Perry, I'd go for that wounded leg of Bret's.
00:03:02Absolutely, and he, believe me, it's part of his game plan.
00:03:05Do you think Lex Luger's really hurt?
00:03:08He says he's hurt.
00:03:11Are you calling the man a liar?
00:03:13I just want to, I want a second or third opinion here.
00:03:16Yeah!
00:03:17You said...
00:03:18I'll give you a second opinion.
00:03:19You're ugly.
00:03:20That's Perry Saturn executing on the excellence of execution.
00:03:25Tony Allen got a two-cap that time.
00:03:27This is another match in the tournament, remember,
00:03:30at Mayhem on the 21st of November for mid-advance.
00:03:35There you go, Bobby, going to the ankle.
00:03:37And you were right.
00:03:38You said he had a game plan.
00:03:39He went right for it when the opportune time was there.
00:03:42And when bones are broke, it hurts that kind of thing.
00:03:44The ankle doesn't bend that way against the cable inside that rope.
00:03:48It does now.
00:03:49It doesn't feel very good, does it?
00:03:51Ha-ha!
00:03:52Let's not forget, if I can promo right here, thank you very much.
00:03:54We still have to come a mixed tag,
00:03:57where Asia's in one corner and Tori is in the other tonight.
00:04:00Revolution and the Filthy Animals.
00:04:03I can't wait for Asia to get her hands on Tori
00:04:06and break that little prince in half.
00:04:08And I guess the good news I've been handed a note
00:04:10that all you other guys are barred from ringside here tonight.
00:04:13What?
00:04:14That's what I was told.
00:04:15That's what we were told.
00:04:16What are you taught?
00:04:17I have a right to be out here.
00:04:18I would think so.
00:04:19Let me suggest that you go talk to the powers that be.
00:04:22They are in the first big office you'll see in the back there.
00:04:25Come on, Perry!
00:04:28Take your control!
00:04:30That's what he's trying to do.
00:04:32Beautiful!
00:04:33I'll T-bomb Bret Hart that time, and a great move it was.
00:04:35You can't stop a revolution!
00:04:37Up.
00:04:38Trying an Asahi moonsault that time.
00:04:42Come on, Perry!
00:04:44And Bret Hart runs right over Saturn.
00:04:47And he's favoring that leg.
00:04:49He sure is.
00:04:50Grab the ankle, Perry!
00:04:51Grab that leg!
00:04:52I've seen this before!
00:04:53The world has seen this before.
00:04:54Bret Hart coming back from adversity.
00:04:55Coming back from underneath.
00:04:56Ground him, Perry!
00:04:57Ground him!
00:04:58No!
00:04:59But you also saw Bret Hart do that when he was 100% healthy.
00:05:00And he's not right now, and Saturn is.
00:05:01Come on, Perry!
00:05:02That's a good point, buddy.
00:05:03Much healthier than a week ago.
00:05:04Asia's come up on the apron.
00:05:05And he's not right now, and Saturn is.
00:05:06Come on, Perry!
00:05:07That's a good point, buddy.
00:05:08Much healthier than a week ago.
00:05:09Asia's come up on the apron now.
00:05:24Asia!
00:05:25Asia, take control!
00:05:27Bret Hart pointed at referees.
00:05:28Hold on now.
00:05:29Shane Douglas has yanked the headset off.
00:05:30Shane Douglas is lurking towards the ring.
00:05:32The referee with his back turn, and Shane Douglas hit Bret Hart right in the forehead with that hard plastic cast of it.
00:05:43Somebody's gotta take control around here!
00:05:45Ah!
00:05:46Ah!
00:05:47And Saturn is gonna take control!
00:05:51Take control!
00:05:52This is a revolution, and we ain't stopping!
00:05:57He put him in the DVD!
00:05:59Count him out!
00:06:00One, two!
00:06:01He kicked out!
00:06:02No!
00:06:03He kicked out!
00:06:04No!
00:06:05No!
00:06:06No!
00:06:07What a real count!
00:06:09I don't, I thought it was, nevertheless, the match keeps going.
00:06:14Take him out, Perry!
00:06:15Hurt him!
00:06:16This is what wrestling for the world title is all about.
00:06:20Two, and Perry Sander kicks out at two.
00:06:22Every match is so important to this tournament because the big things at the end, that's the championship.
00:06:26And Dean Malenko's out!
00:06:28Look out, Dean!
00:06:29It's Benoit!
00:06:30Chris Benoit's come out!
00:06:31No!
00:06:32And he and Malenko!
00:06:35Going out right and left, Sander over the top!
00:06:39He nails both men, Bret Hart, back in the ring!
00:06:43Come on!
00:06:44Come on, Perry!
00:06:46There you go!
00:06:50Atta boy!
00:06:51Yeah, what?!
00:06:52Subset flip and missed that tie!
00:06:54No!
00:06:55Sub-sitter!
00:06:56No!
00:06:57Sub-sitter tie!
00:06:58No!
00:06:59And in D!
00:07:00No!
00:07:01Yeah, he gets over!
00:07:02He gave up!
00:07:03He gave up!
00:07:04He gave up!
00:07:05Bret Hart's gonna go on!
00:07:06Bret Hart, bad leg and all, is still alive in the tournament!
00:07:11Can you believe it?
00:07:12Ow!
00:07:13You don't get it!
00:07:14I'm in a lot of trouble here, okay?
00:07:15So let me in, do my business to win you!
00:07:18Good job, man!
00:07:19You don't get it!
00:07:20I'm in a lot of trouble here, okay?
00:07:21So let me in, do my business to win you!
00:07:23Good job, man!
00:07:24Good job, man!
00:07:25You can let your turn like everybody else when you're sitting here on the tournament line!
00:07:30Oh!
00:07:31Just do that stuff in here!
00:07:33Hey!
00:07:34Oh, man!
00:07:35Couple of beverages after the show tonight, Kev?
00:07:39Nice, cool.
00:07:40Scott, to anyone?
00:07:41What?
00:07:42I'm your manager.
00:07:43I'm gonna take your mine out of this match.
00:07:45Let me get it in the carriage, man.
00:07:50Wow!
00:07:51You whacked!
00:07:53Security guard, the envelope, please!
00:07:55Oh, the envelope, please!
00:07:57Medically sealed in a mayonnaise jar on the front porch of Funk & Wagnall since 2 o'clock this afternoon.
00:08:06The answer is 3-16.
00:08:103-16.
00:08:12The number of times The Undertaker has worked a pay-per-view main event with Austin.
00:08:23Was it really that many times?
00:08:27Yeah, where you been?
00:08:30I've been drunk for an entire year, bro.
00:08:33I tried to.
00:08:34Oh, party police.
00:08:36Like, you were right there by my side.
00:08:39I can't believe this.
00:08:41My knee is killing me.
00:08:43I'm a snake bit.
00:08:44I know, you know.
00:08:45Gosh.
00:08:46I'm gonna get you some ice, but here, have some water, okay?
00:08:48Oh, thank you.
00:08:49Oh, my gosh.
00:08:50Um, we'll take care of it.
00:08:51It's mice.
00:08:52Bad.
00:08:53Okay.
00:08:54Poor old total package.
00:08:57Looks like he was in a wheelchair and everything there.
00:08:59Well, Vance, we did not expect this Harlem Heat music to come out, but we do know that this
00:09:09This past week the powers that be suspended Stevie Ray won't have a Harlem Heat because he lost last week to Bump Bagwell.
00:09:21And let's not forget what happened with the creative control at the end of that as they came out to pound Harlem Heat.
00:09:27Now, we do know that Stevie Ray was suspended by the powers that be and that Booker T was very angry about it.
00:09:36And I guess he's gonna come out here and bend his anger out to everybody in this sellout crowd here at the Conseco Center, as well as our great crowd here on TNT.
00:09:50You can tell he's mad, Bray.
00:09:52He's got that look.
00:09:53He's got that attitude look.
00:09:58Big suspension was big news this week.
00:10:00You know, I'm not supposed to be here tonight, but I just got a couple of things on my mind.
00:10:06And that is creative control and Jared.
00:10:19Now, I'll tell you what.
00:10:21I got a couple of things.
00:10:23I got to say it like this.
00:10:26You three punk asses back there know what happened just a week or so ago.
00:10:32And I'm gonna say it like this.
00:10:33Huh?
00:10:34Now, Isa, you can bring your three punk asses down here right now.
00:10:49Or Booker T can unbutton his sleeve like this.
00:10:56And Booker T will walk back up this aisle and come in the back, slap you in the face, Jeff Jarrett, drag you two wannabe bosses out here in the middle of this ring.
00:11:11And kick your ass right here in front of the whole world.
00:11:18Second thing is this creative control.
00:11:23You have the nerve to suspend my brother.
00:11:26To suspend my brother.
00:11:27I tell you like this.
00:11:28I will suspend your damn life.
00:11:35Some will say it like this.
00:11:36Creative control, Jeff Jarrett, get down here right now and let's take it to a good old fashioned Harlem street fight.
00:11:45And that's the whole damn deal.
00:11:50He's calling out.
00:11:51He's calling out everybody.
00:11:52He's gonna face everybody.
00:11:53And he wants a Harlem street fight right now.
00:11:56Me too.
00:11:58And Jarrett has come out.
00:11:59There's creative control right behind the chosen one.
00:12:02Well, that's a big mistake.
00:12:05I believe he's making.
00:12:06But this already knows his influence.
00:12:09She was booted out of the tournament literally by his interference during the Benoit match that she had tonight in the tournament.
00:12:16Now he has these mammoth men creative control follows him out.
00:12:22Booker T wants a Harlem street fight.
00:12:29What do we got here?
00:12:30Are you going to?
00:12:34Listen, Slappy.
00:12:36You want to play funny games with his headset?
00:12:39No, I, I, I, I beat this slap nut up here last week.
00:12:42One, two, three.
00:12:44Creative control is going to take care of Booker T.
00:12:48Booker T, you don't want none of me.
00:12:50I took you out of the tournament like I'm going to take Kurt hitting out of the tournament like I screwed the deuce out of the tournament.
00:12:56I'm going all the way through this tournament.
00:12:58I'm the one with the stroke.
00:12:59I am the chosen one, Tony.
00:13:01And don't stand there and look stupid.
00:13:02You've done that for two and a half hours now.
00:13:04I, I, I guess they're here to take care of your light work, huh, Jeff?
00:13:08Absolutely, Bobby.
00:13:09We're on the same page.
00:13:10I hate to agree with you, but I think you're right.
00:13:12And here we go.
00:13:13Highland Street fight and Booker T is fighting for his life in there.
00:13:18Yeah, yeah, he better fight for his life.
00:13:20Because that's at stake right now with those two big men pounding on him.
00:13:25Creative control has put it in high gear.
00:13:27Wow.
00:13:28This is what Booker T wanted.
00:13:29Suspending Stevie Ray.
00:13:30That's exactly right.
00:13:31That's what the powers that be did.
00:13:32That's exactly right.
00:13:33The powers that be are running the show around here.
00:13:35Boy, they sure are.
00:13:36Who does Booker T think he is?
00:13:37He is a man who has lost his brother to suspension.
00:13:38Get in there.
00:13:39Get in there.
00:13:40Get in there.
00:13:41Get in there.
00:13:44And somebody.
00:13:45I scored the two side of the tournament.
00:13:47I took Booker T out last week and denied Curt Hendy.
00:13:51It ain't a guarantee, ain't a promise.
00:13:53Just mark my words, I'm taking Curt Hendy out.
00:13:56Curt Hendy could be taken out of this sport.
00:13:58Hold on.
00:13:59Permanently.
00:14:00I think it's time to play some music.
00:14:02And I think Curt Hendy later may be in trouble, but right now, Jeff,
00:14:05running the guitar was gonna rock Booker T.
00:14:08Booker T nailed him, but just too many men in there, Brain.
00:14:13That's it.
00:14:14They're two big men, and Jared is so smart, so crafty.
00:14:18What is this?
00:14:23What in the world, H.D.?
00:14:26Looks like Sarah R. Thomas.
00:14:31Jeff Jarrett.
00:14:35Now, you know, we talked to Jeff Jarrett about how in WCW this kind of thing
00:14:42doesn't happen, and he said, yeah, I don't hit women in WCW.
00:14:46But Brain, that was, that obviously was self-defense, although she was on the offense.
00:14:50Well, that woman's bigger than him.
00:14:52She was going right for him.
00:14:53He had to defend himself.
00:14:54It's just simple.
00:14:55I guess who in the world, and where did she come from?
00:14:59She is huge.
00:15:02Huge.
00:15:03Huge.
00:15:04It's right.
00:15:05Oh, look it.
00:15:06You heard how smarted him.
00:15:08He sure did.
00:15:11Very good.
00:15:12You got out of there.
00:15:13Good.
00:15:14Here it is again.
00:15:18Who's a sucker now, Slap Nuts?
00:15:21Out of self-defense.
00:15:22Well, he had to.
00:15:23Look, she punched him right in her mouth.
00:15:25Look at the size of that one.
00:15:26Look at the legs on her.
00:15:27Out of self-defense.
00:15:28Well, he said, we don't hit women around here.
00:15:31Well, I guess when she comes in and she's on the attack, self-defense is your best defense.
00:15:37A man has to do what he has to do.
00:15:39I guess he does.
00:15:40And there, Booker T helps her out.
00:15:47And as they help out there, we see DeMalenco and Asia, they are walking to the ring.
00:15:53And their opponents tonight, Rey Mysterio Jr. and Tori.
00:15:58Next.
00:15:59Paul and Ash with the riot squad getting ready for later tonight.
00:16:22Package, I hope you have put plenty of ice on that injured leg of yours.
00:16:26Because in just a few moments, you're going to be facing Sid Vicious.
00:16:29You've got to be kidding me.
00:16:30What are you, an orthopedic surgeon now?
00:16:32Why don't you stick with what you know?
00:16:34What is that anyways?
00:16:35Due to the severity of this injury, I've been on the cell phone just now with my orthopedic surgeon.
00:16:40And by any means, until I get an MRI, I cannot compete tonight.
00:16:43So until further notice, I hate this point to fans, but they will not see a match take place between Sid Vicious and myself today.
00:16:50I'm really sorry.
00:16:51Well, let me clue you into something.
00:16:52I just spoke with the powers that be, and they inform me that if you do not face Sid Vicious tonight, you are out of the WCW World's title tournament.
00:16:59I've got ice on my legs.
00:17:01Liz, what are you going to do about this?
00:17:02Me?
00:17:03Well, you're my manager.
00:17:04Let's go.
00:17:05Come on.
00:17:06Let's go.
00:17:07Come on.
00:17:08Boy, today lays a blockbuster on the turtle package.
00:17:13How about that?
00:17:14Yeah.
00:17:15Yeah, you don't compete against Sid Vicious, which is still to come tonight.
00:17:18You're out of the tournament.
00:17:19And you know who he's got in the tournament next week, don't you, on this program.
00:17:23Yes.
00:17:24Sting.
00:17:25That's right.
00:17:26The same sting that he promised that he was sorry about what all happened the week before, but then he maced him in the face.
00:17:35Can you imagine what type of mentality Sting's going to be in next week?
00:17:38I think Liz went for the mace, no doubt about that.
00:17:40She was trying to help, but I think Luger tried to take it from her, and the total package just, you know, some of those spray things don't work all the time.
00:17:48They go the wrong direction, you know that.
00:17:50I know that, but that's the total package on the-
00:17:52You use the odorant, don't you?
00:17:53Yeah.
00:17:54Maybe not.
00:17:56That's the total package on the trigger, so you can't ever believe they're gonna stay alone on a match in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
00:18:02Wednesday night is gonna be in the Fort Wayne Coliseum.
00:18:06Tickets at the Ticket Office and Ticketmaster for Thunder.
00:18:09Thunder comes to Pika on December 2nd at the Expo Center.
00:18:12Tickets to Box Office and all Ticketmaster outfits.
00:18:14Tickets still available for Mayhem in Toronto on Sunday November 21st.
00:18:19The first WCW Pay-Per-View in Canada.
00:18:21Tickets to the Air Canada Center, Box Office and all Ticketmaster.
00:18:24Now, Tory is wrestling for the first time ever.
00:18:28Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:18:29You tell me later.
00:18:30She was going to take off the, you know.
00:18:34Laundry.
00:18:35The laundry.
00:18:36But let's talk about the serious part of all that's going down.
00:18:40Rey Mysterio Jr.'s knee is not 100%.
00:18:43Rey Mysterio Jr. even heard him back talking to Tory.
00:18:46His knee is 75%.
00:18:48If that.
00:18:49And it was an injury to his knee.
00:18:51Hold on now.
00:18:53Tory got handcuffed to the turnbuckle.
00:18:55By Asia.
00:18:56By Asia.
00:18:57And they are focusing on the knee.
00:18:58The same knee that prevented him from defending the world tag team title not too long ago.
00:19:04And the powers that be stripped him of the belt.
00:19:06So he really shouldn't even be in there.
00:19:08Even though he seems to think it's okay.
00:19:11And now he has no help at all.
00:19:13Now remember as we talked earlier.
00:19:15That all members of the revolution.
00:19:17All members.
00:19:18Of the 30 animals barred from ringside.
00:19:22By the powers that be.
00:19:23And how about Asia with that move.
00:19:27On Rey Mysterio Jr. cannot even stand up right now.
00:19:30He's moving dude.
00:19:31He's down.
00:19:32That knee like you said.
00:19:33His dam is less than 75%.
00:19:34And they're working on it.
00:19:35But he kicks away again.
00:19:36Wow.
00:19:37You're talking about having to fight from underneath.
00:19:38You're watching him.
00:19:39He's had to do it so many times.
00:19:40But they focus on the knee.
00:19:41And he is just screaming out in pain.
00:19:42And they call him screaming Rey Mysterio.
00:19:43I guess right now you can.
00:19:44He goes into the ropes.
00:19:45Rey.
00:19:46Oh.
00:19:47Desperation move on one leg.
00:19:48Boy he put the brakes on it.
00:19:49He won't hit her.
00:19:50But he'll kick her.
00:19:51In the back.
00:19:52Asia took a nasty spill on the outside.
00:19:53That's a cheap move I like.
00:19:54It was a cheap move.
00:19:56Oh boy.
00:19:57He hit.
00:19:58With tremendous amount of acceleration that time.
00:20:13with tremendous amount of acceleration that time.
00:20:16Look, he's favorite Andy still.
00:20:19He throws the leg on to Aisha, and Aisha's in the ring.
00:20:23Can you say...
00:20:24Oh, wait a minute.
00:20:25Can you say, Bronco Buster?
00:20:27I guess you can't right now.
00:20:30I guess you can say something else.
00:20:37Remember, Lex Luger does have to wrestle Sid Vicious.
00:20:40That is coming up next on this program.
00:20:44And who's going to be the special referee in the four-man Texas Tornado Rider match?
00:20:48He gave it up.
00:20:49Yeah, he gave it up.
00:20:50He gave it up.
00:20:51That needs grubby.
00:20:53Done.
00:20:53Texas Cloverleaf was a decisive move that time.
00:20:58And Eddie Guerrero finally comes in after the bell,
00:21:01and the remainder of the filthy animals.
00:21:04And they got both gutters.
00:21:06Get ready.
00:21:07Go in.
00:21:08And you just got to wonder...
00:21:09I think we've got a serious injury on our hands.
00:21:13Well, you should know better than get in there.
00:21:15And a celebration goes on with the revolution.
00:21:20This was a grand plan to get Ray Mysterio...
00:21:23That's all it was.
00:21:24To get Ray Mysterio Jr. in the ring, and then to take him out.
00:21:27And that may have been what they've done right here.
00:21:29What it looks like to me.
00:21:31And you got to get him credit.
00:21:32They really used their brains.
00:21:33Sid Vicious, with those security guards, is on his way to the arena for the Lex Luger match next.
00:21:44Hey, Kimberly.
00:22:05It's kind of like deja vu, isn't it?
00:22:08But this time, it's going to be more than a spanking.
00:22:11He has scared that girl to death.
00:22:17I mean, the mind games have been, to be very honest with you, they've been very frightening to watch.
00:22:23But he's inside her head, is what he is.
00:22:24And she has completely flipped.
00:22:26Well, she knows what he did to Diamond Dallas with their crowbar.
00:22:30And you, like you said, Tony, he is playing mind game.
00:22:36Obviously, so many chances for him.
00:22:37As you said, to put his hand on her.
00:22:39But he is just going for the middle route, so to speak.
00:22:42And this all goes back to David Flair being run over by the car, by Kimberly.
00:22:47And I guess it goes back to what you were saying.
00:22:49And what went down, even back at Halloween Havoc.
00:22:54David Flair came out the very next day under Halloween Havoc.
00:22:57Put Diamond Dallas Page on it to make sure.
00:23:00Kimberly's payback was last week.
00:23:02And now the middle games.
00:23:03The frightening middle games with the payback.
00:23:06And it looks to me, Tony, like she's about ready to crack.
00:23:09She was crying back there.
00:23:12Crying.
00:23:14All right.
00:23:14An emotional wreck.
00:23:17Emotional wreck is right.
00:23:19One of our feature bouts.
00:23:21Of course, this is not in the tournament.
00:23:23The total package must be staying next week in the tournament.
00:23:27This is just one of the feature bouts this week on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:23:31Well, you know what happens when some people can't handle tough situations?
00:23:34Yeah.
00:23:34They break down and cry.
00:23:35That's right.
00:23:36Or they pretend their knee's hurting.
00:23:37Oh, you really got it for this guy.
00:23:42The total package.
00:23:42The evidence seems to be, I may be wrong, fans, you can draw your own conclusions here.
00:23:48Do you believe Luger or not?
00:23:49It seems to be overwhelming.
00:23:52Had I not seen Luger take out that slippery with wet sign, I would have never thought this.
00:23:58The competitors you and I are, we're going to tee it up another time.
00:24:03But unfortunately, tonight I have a severe injury in my knee.
00:24:07I need to go to the hospital, get an MRI.
00:24:09I hope the results turn out, that it's not as bad as I think it is.
00:24:16But I apologize, we won't be able to wrestle tonight.
00:24:20But hopefully with the right rest, rehab, and everything goes my way.
00:24:25I was inspired by Brett Wrestling Major in this tournament because this title tournament is much, I'll be able to wrestle in that title tournament next week.
00:24:34And Sid, you know how important it is for knees with thoroughbreds like you and I.
00:24:43So I need to take care of this, I'm sorry, we just won't be able to wrestle tonight.
00:24:47Come on, Liz.
00:24:50Liz ain't home.
00:24:54It stinks!
00:24:55Sting's got the wheelchair, and it's a long ride in the ring.
00:25:00With a total package, I told you, Sting doesn't believe I missed either.
00:25:04But Sting's not a doctor, he don't know.
00:25:06Of course, and neither are we.
00:25:09Well then we can't judge, I said I didn't know.
00:25:10The EMTs know better than we do, they said there was nothing wrong.
00:25:14He's been rolled in to Sid Vicious.
00:25:18A man who's going to come back later and wrestle in the Texas Tornado four-man ladder match.
00:25:23With a special referee and we still don't know who that is, but let's go with this, brain.
00:25:31Oh, this has been fun.
00:25:38The total package, knee iced up and everything, and Sid Vicious received a gift from Sting, and now Elizabeth has come back.
00:25:47What is she going to try to do here?
00:25:50She is actually shielding the total package.
00:25:54That won't stop, Vicious.
00:25:54And he's holding the girl in front of him.
00:26:00Is he going to hit her?
00:26:03What's he going to do?
00:26:04What a brave woman the way she threw herself in front of him.
00:26:09He puts the lady to the side.
00:26:12Here comes the package, and there he goes.
00:26:14Sid Vicious wants to become the U.S. chain.
00:26:23Plains Goldberg quit, and they both of them agreed.
00:26:26He and Goldberg to an I quit match.
00:26:28A part of Mayhem Sunday, November 21st at Toronto on pay-per-view.
00:26:33And he's going after that bad knee.
00:26:34If he wasn't hurt before, he is now.
00:26:48They'll tell you, you may be right, brain.
00:26:49I may be completely wrong.
00:26:50He's obvious.
00:26:52It seems that it's a legit injury.
00:26:56Yeah, he can't even run across the ring.
00:27:00The big foot.
00:27:02And now...
00:27:04We see the Riott Squad's come out to protect Sid.
00:27:10And don't forget the Texas Tornado throwaway.
00:27:13Here comes.
00:27:15The Riott Squad just parted.
00:27:17They parted.
00:27:17They moved out of the way.
00:27:18And Goldberg has laid out Sid Vicious.
00:27:29They got completely out of the way as Goldberg just walked right past him.
00:27:33Yeah, those guards were standing there.
00:27:35No one was going to get to the ring.
00:27:36All of a sudden, Goldberg came out.
00:27:37They split.
00:27:38The same guards that were talking to Hall and Nash.
00:27:41Watch at the...
00:27:42You know what I think?
00:27:45I think Sid Vicious may have been set up again by the Outsiders.
00:27:52Back on WCW Monday Nitro, we do have another match to announce for Mayhem.
00:28:03The powers that be have now signed a key match between Vampiro and Berlin for November 21st.
00:28:14And we've all witnessed what Berlin did to Vampiro's chances in the tournament.
00:28:19It keeps getting better.
00:28:20It sure does.
00:28:20And also, as Brian Knox comes out, we've got a Pinball's Count Anywhere hardcore match.
00:28:28No disqualification if anything goes.
00:28:31Bam Bam Bigelow here is going to face Brian Knox.
00:28:33And the winner will go on to WCW Mayhem in Toronto.
00:28:38And will face Norman Smiley for the W Screamin' Norman, I guess I should say, for the WCW Hardcore Championship.
00:28:47Guess who's just joined us, Tony?
00:28:50Screamin' Norman, how you doing?
00:28:51Norman Smiley's here, live.
00:28:53I'm going to fight these two contenders, because that's exactly what they are.
00:28:57Our two contenders, because I am the Hardcore Champion.
00:29:00You know it, the people at home know it, and the people here know it.
00:29:03Well, realistically, you're going to get a chance to fight.
00:29:05And I don't care how I win.
00:29:06A win is a win is a win.
00:29:09You're going to get a chance to get that win come Sunday the 21st.
00:29:13You'll face one of these two.
00:29:15I will face either man.
00:29:16It doesn't bother me, because I am a competitor.
00:29:20Here comes Bam Bam Bigelow.
00:29:21And let me remind you, fans, who will the special referee be tonight in the Gorman Texas Tornado ladder match for the U.S. title?
00:29:31Bret Hart and Sid Vicious will be in it, along with Goldberg and Scott Hall.
00:29:37And we're off and running Hardcore style.
00:29:40This is Hardcore style.
00:29:41You know what's always amazed me?
00:29:43What's that?
00:29:43It's the purpose of hygiene of these two men.
00:29:46Look at them.
00:29:46They're filthy.
00:29:47Does Bam Bam Bigelow have any kind of medical health insurance, some dental insurance?
00:29:52Can you answer that, please?
00:29:55I have no idea.
00:29:56He's been missing that tooth for years.
00:29:59Maybe he takes it out when he performs like a hockey player.
00:30:02You know, hockey player.
00:30:05Well, they're going at it here.
00:30:07He's a tough man.
00:30:07I'll give it to him.
00:30:09Oh, they're going.
00:30:09Brian Knobs, like a bliffin, is just...
00:30:14Oh!
00:30:16Knobs is over that barricade like a dart.
00:30:20I'm going to call him play-by-play here because I am a broadcaster.
00:30:24Please go ahead.
00:30:25I don't know if I'm covered for this, but I am following.
00:30:28I'm going to follow this to come back.
00:30:30This is good.
00:30:31Yeah, let him call it.
00:30:33Go ahead, Norman.
00:30:34I'm following the following line to the back.
00:30:37I'm keeping you people at home.
00:30:39Inform what's happening.
00:30:41And Bam Bam Bigelow is throwing some serious right hands.
00:30:45They're going to the back.
00:30:48Gentlemen, gentlemen, where is Doug Dillinger when you need him?
00:30:51Where is Doug Dillinger?
00:30:53He's at the donut stand.
00:30:56Oh, this is going to get nasty.
00:30:58This is going to get nasty.
00:31:00Let's take you to Norman Smiley in the back right now.
00:31:02Norman?
00:31:04Come on, Norman.
00:31:06Call something here.
00:31:08This is severe violence.
00:31:10This is nasty.
00:31:11This is too much.
00:31:13Nasty is the nasty one.
00:31:15And he is setting the table up here.
00:31:22Look at the aggression of these two competitors.
00:31:25But they're no match.
00:31:26Oh.
00:31:28Take it easy.
00:31:29Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:31:30I'm just commentating.
00:31:31I'm just commentating.
00:31:33Take it easy.
00:31:33I'm just commentating.
00:31:35Come on, Bam Bam.
00:31:36Get up there.
00:31:36Have some hard, Bam Bam.
00:31:42Oh.
00:31:43Welcome to the St. Louis Stadium.
00:31:45Talk about a slam dunk.
00:31:50Nothing.
00:31:51That's a silly, that's a silly, that's a silly move at anything.
00:31:53I would agree with that, Norman.
00:31:55That was silly.
00:31:58Bam Bam has the offensive.
00:31:59Oh.
00:32:00I think he's out.
00:32:01That's it.
00:32:01That's it.
00:32:02That's his career.
00:32:03Oh, it's a hard call.
00:32:05That's it.
00:32:06That's Kimberly.
00:32:07What's she?
00:32:08She's trying to talk to Bam Bam.
00:32:10That's it.
00:32:10And she's broken down.
00:32:13And you know, Bam Bam's close with Diamond.
00:32:15Yeah, I know.
00:32:16And he's leaving.
00:32:17He's got a match here.
00:32:18Look at the count by the referee.
00:32:25As Brian Knobs has been, ring the bell.
00:32:33Brian Knobs has left the building.
00:32:36And he's going to go on to face Norman Smiley and Mayhem.
00:32:43And here come the outside.
00:32:45Come on, guys.
00:32:46Scott Hall and his chance to advance to the tournament is coming up next.
00:32:51Where'd you last see him at?
00:32:53Huh?
00:32:53No, I know he was turning to the best.
00:32:55Come on, Flair.
00:32:58You want to pick on a girl?
00:33:00Pick on me.
00:33:01Flair, you in here?
00:33:03Damn it.
00:33:04Come on, Flair.
00:33:07Here's a look at our tournament brackets as we go to the next match.
00:33:10And the tournament, remember, the final four will go on.
00:33:13Two men remaining.
00:33:13Group number one, Bret Hart and Kidman.
00:33:15They both had wins tonight here on this program.
00:33:18We're going to group two, the total package and stink.
00:33:21That match is next week.
00:33:22They advance by default from the injuries of the other two men.
00:33:25Crispin Wadman still face the winner of this match coming up right here.
00:33:29And Buff Bagwell has advanced.
00:33:31And let's not forget Kurt Hennig with his back up against the wall against the chosen one himself, Jeff Jarrett.
00:33:37That is still to come here tonight.
00:33:38And you know if Kurt Hennig is pinned, it's not he owes for him.
00:33:42His career is over 20.
00:33:43I've got two in a minute.
00:33:45What?
00:33:46You're right about it.
00:33:47Hennig has more to lose than just being taken out of the tournament.
00:33:52If his shoulders are pinned, and we'll talk more about that later on, then he is out of WCW.
00:33:58He also dictates the powers that be.
00:34:05With their riot squad that, boy, didn't they help Sid Vicious early?
00:34:10Ha!
00:34:11Earlier on.
00:34:12I smell sabotage.
00:34:14Oh, yes, I think I do, too.
00:34:16Here comes the old wizard himself.
00:34:18I kind of like that suit.
00:34:20Do you really?
00:34:20You know, with the right pants, you'll be all right.
00:34:23I guess that is a 90s look to the grand wizard himself, what do you think?
00:34:27Or what remains of the 90s?
00:34:35You know what I was thinking, Tony?
00:34:37That special referee we got coming up?
00:34:41Who could it be?
00:34:42I mean...
00:34:42I think it may be someone from another corporation.
00:34:45You know why?
00:34:46Because the powers that be are here now.
00:34:49Just think about it.
00:34:49So our special referee in the Texas Tornado...
00:34:52Could be from another wrestling organization.
00:34:56And that's coming up.
00:34:56But you don't know.
00:34:58Now, the riot squad is out.
00:35:00We know what they're out for.
00:35:01They're out to protect Scott Hall and even Kevin Nash from the advances of Goldberg,
00:35:08who already got through and got to Sid Vicious here tonight.
00:35:12So, it's protect me, but don't protect Sid Vicious.
00:35:17I guess that's what it is.
00:35:18I mean...
00:35:20It could be one of anything.
00:35:22Not one of many things.
00:35:24Whatever it is, they are around the ring.
00:35:26Because Goldberg has promised that vengeance is mine.
00:35:30And Keaton Lachs, Lachs, Lachs, Lachs, Lachs, Lachs, Lachs.
00:35:34Rookie sensation Lachs, Lachs, Lachs, Lachs, Lachs, Lachs, Lachs...
00:35:39but has now advanced basically into a sweet 16.
00:35:46He's older than that.
00:35:47Now let's take a look at how he advanced.
00:35:49It happened a week ago on this program.
00:35:51He took advantage of the cat, Ernest Miller's, early return.
00:35:56Ernest suffering a knee injury to the ACL.
00:36:00He goes down, and LaRue had enough presence of mind here, Brain,
00:36:05to see that the knee was hurt.
00:36:07Then he came back way too early.
00:36:10He put that submission hold on, and quickly the cat tapped out.
00:36:13Now we understand that due to that aggravation of the injury,
00:36:18the cat, Ernest Miller's going to be out another three to four weeks.
00:36:21He came back too soon, he paid for it,
00:36:23and LaRue takes full advantage of it.
00:36:25He goes on against Scott Hall.
00:36:27You know, I've managed a lot of people over my career, Tony.
00:36:30Yes, you have.
00:36:30And I said when Goldberg came on the scene
00:36:33that this man is going to be a major star very, very soon.
00:36:36He went on to become world's heavyweight champion.
00:36:39He's gone on up to become one of the biggest names in this sport.
00:36:43And I'll tell you, I see something in this match, LaRue.
00:36:46This guy's got the moxie.
00:36:47He's got the speed.
00:36:48He's got guts.
00:36:50He'll try things.
00:36:51He's not afraid of hurting some.
00:36:52He's not afraid of missing some.
00:36:54He's not afraid of losing a match.
00:36:55He's going to get nothing but better.
00:36:57Interesting that the attributes you point out for LaRue
00:37:00are not the physical ones.
00:37:01They are the mental ones, the makeup.
00:37:03And, of course, that's so important in WCW.
00:37:06And LaRue has all of that,
00:37:08and he has the physical tools as well, right?
00:37:09I know you would agree.
00:37:10Well, like the outsiders, though,
00:37:11they use a lot of mental beating
00:37:13when they work with the opponent.
00:37:15Now, don't forget,
00:37:16Scott Hall is one of the four men involved.
00:37:18Scott Hall has possession of the U.S. Belt.
00:37:20Goldberg, Sid Vicious.
00:37:23You know, he's going to remember
00:37:23what the riot squad did early to him.
00:37:28And Bret the Hitman Hart,
00:37:30the four-minute ball in the ladder match tonight.
00:37:32But who will the special referee be?
00:37:35It could be any number of people.
00:37:37You're right.
00:37:37It could be someone that's not the heart of WCW.
00:37:42Boy, that opens up a lot of possibilities.
00:37:47Here's Lash LaRue.
00:37:48Look at this young man.
00:37:50Go, dropkick.
00:37:51I'll tell you, a victory here for Lash LaRue
00:37:52will put this guy's name on the wrestling map.
00:37:54Oh, yeah, it'll be...
00:37:55You knock off a guy like Scott Hall.
00:37:57I'm telling you, the guy's got everything he needs.
00:37:59He's got the all.
00:38:01It's just a matter of luck right now.
00:38:02Right place, right time.
00:38:04He pulls this off.
00:38:05He gets by Nash.
00:38:06I'll tell you, the phones are going to be ringing.
00:38:08Everyone's going to notice who this man is.
00:38:10Don't forget the name, people.
00:38:11Lash LaRue.
00:38:12I think Nash and Hall
00:38:15have both realized it right now.
00:38:17He is in the Sweet 16 of the tournament.
00:38:20Trying to get into the grade eight
00:38:21and make it the final four.
00:38:22Of course, the final four men go on to mayhem
00:38:25on Sunday, November 21st, Toronto.
00:38:27The Air Canada Center on pay-per-view.
00:38:29You sound like Dick Vitale.
00:38:31Yeah, really?
00:38:31No.
00:38:32Why didn't you say something that stupid
00:38:35to break my momentum?
00:38:36You see?
00:38:38You can't trust anybody.
00:38:39I guess you can.
00:38:40Go ahead.
00:38:41All right.
00:38:42Along with the I Quit match,
00:38:44Goldberg and Sid Vicious,
00:38:46hardcore championship.
00:38:48Bryan Knobbs and Screamin' Norman Smiley,
00:38:50and that chain match signed
00:38:53between Vampiro and Berlant.
00:38:56But who's going to be the WCW champion?
00:39:00Up and down.
00:39:02It won't be Goldberg.
00:39:03He'll be in the I Quit match.
00:39:04He's out of the tournament,
00:39:05but Goldberg,
00:39:06a chance to become the U.S. camp
00:39:07still to come tonight.
00:39:09What's going on here?
00:39:11Paul.
00:39:12Don't play around with Fashion LaRue.
00:39:14Paul was thinking about climbing that ladder
00:39:16that he's going to try to do
00:39:17a little bit later on tonight.
00:39:18That's exactly what he was thinking about.
00:39:25He should take a good overview shot
00:39:27as he ties up likes LaRue.
00:39:31Puts on Berlant's head like it now.
00:39:33The veteran Hall just having his way
00:39:35with the young man here.
00:39:38LaRue was looking good,
00:39:39and let's see now
00:39:40if he can mount a comeback
00:39:42here against Scott Hall.
00:39:43Inside grapevine here.
00:39:49Applied, stretching out
00:39:50the abdominal region,
00:39:52and now pulling up
00:39:53on the quadriceps as well
00:39:55with the right leg
00:39:57as the wizard himself
00:39:59looks in.
00:40:04But look at Last LaRue.
00:40:05Look at him stay in there.
00:40:06He didn't give up.
00:40:07Most people would.
00:40:09He just stayed in there.
00:40:10He wouldn't quit.
00:40:11That tells you something.
00:40:13And he's still trying
00:40:14to get to each feet here.
00:40:16He's got fight him.
00:40:16I told you he's got smoke.
00:40:20Scott Hall drapes
00:40:21over the throat of Last LaRue.
00:40:24Hall, Nash,
00:40:25we understandably
00:40:26visiting the UK
00:40:27in a week
00:40:28to do a ticket sale
00:40:29autograph signing.
00:40:30November 17th,
00:40:31it all starts.
00:40:34Birmingham and Manchester
00:40:34in London,
00:40:35they're going to be there.
00:40:37On behalf of WCW,
00:40:39but right now
00:40:39that's the furthest
00:40:40from their thoughts.
00:40:41Tonight's the first broadcast.
00:40:44The first national broadcast
00:40:46ever televised
00:40:47of any event
00:40:48from the Conseco Center
00:40:49here in Indianapolis.
00:40:51I do know that.
00:40:52We made history again.
00:40:53Yes, we did.
00:40:54That's what Ash wants to do
00:40:55is make some history.
00:40:56You need a scorecard
00:40:57to keep up with us.
00:40:58We're going to try to recap
00:40:59a little bit later on.
00:41:00Oh, that's gone down tonight.
00:41:01The crowd in the
00:41:01eclethora of things
00:41:03for you.
00:41:05Nice.
00:41:05LaRue.
00:41:06Now did the comeback
00:41:06we talked about.
00:41:07The double axe handle
00:41:08got Hall on the head
00:41:10on the neck region.
00:41:11Halls back up
00:41:12and Halls back down.
00:41:13LaRue hitting
00:41:13and he's not wasting
00:41:15any movement at all.
00:41:17He goes right back up.
00:41:18The average man
00:41:18would have given up
00:41:1910 minutes ago.
00:41:21But no,
00:41:21he keeps trying
00:41:22all these moves.
00:41:22Going to the top rope.
00:41:23Coming from behind.
00:41:25I like this
00:41:25LaRue
00:41:26and he's not done yet.
00:41:27He's come to fight.
00:41:28He's come to make
00:41:29a name for himself.
00:41:30He's come to show
00:41:30everybody at WCW
00:41:32I am for real.
00:41:33And he could be
00:41:34in the midst
00:41:35of a major upset here.
00:41:36Oh.
00:41:37But he turned around
00:41:38to a hard right hand
00:41:39by Hall.
00:41:42Lash LaRue
00:41:43and kicked it
00:41:44into high gear.
00:41:45Melting that comeback
00:41:46but now Hall.
00:41:48Now he missed.
00:41:49LaRue tried.
00:41:51A cross body.
00:41:52He was caught.
00:41:54He's not beaten yet.
00:41:55The fall away slam.
00:41:57One of his patented moves
00:41:58Scott Hall.
00:41:59It's going to look good.
00:42:00But LaRue
00:42:02still tries to push himself up
00:42:04as the wizard himself
00:42:05in the persona
00:42:06of Kevin Nance's
00:42:07big sexy looks on.
00:42:09And Hall says
00:42:10that's enough.
00:42:11He's going to
00:42:12he better try
00:42:12to stop it right now.
00:42:15But LaRue
00:42:15keeps getting up
00:42:16to his feet.
00:42:19Scott Hall
00:42:20as they all stand here
00:42:21maybe a move away
00:42:22from
00:42:23continuing on
00:42:25in the tournament
00:42:25up to the outsider edge.
00:42:29That's it.
00:42:29He connected.
00:42:34The wizard
00:42:35smells victory.
00:42:35He's on the apron.
00:42:36The count is on.
00:42:38And Scott Hall wins.
00:42:40Oh, Lash LaRue
00:42:40gave him a heck of a fight.
00:42:42Yeah, I tell you
00:42:42I think even
00:42:43in a losing effort here
00:42:44that Lash LaRue
00:42:48made quite a name
00:42:49for himself.
00:42:50You know, Tony
00:42:51he's going to learn
00:42:52a lot from this loss.
00:42:54Probably more than
00:42:54if he had won the match.
00:42:55He'll know what to do
00:42:56next time
00:42:57and there'll be
00:42:58a next time
00:42:58because that man's
00:42:59on the rise.
00:43:01All right, look at this.
00:43:01The wizard
00:43:02calling the shots.
00:43:03He is surrounding
00:43:04himself and Hall
00:43:06with the Riot Squad
00:43:07making sure
00:43:08that Goldberg
00:43:09cannot get to him.
00:43:10Boy, Goldberg
00:43:11has changed
00:43:13the direction
00:43:14of things here,
00:43:15hasn't he?
00:43:16You weren't kidding.
00:43:16Bad boy, bad boy.
00:43:18What you going to do?
00:43:19Nobody at all
00:43:21to fool the outsiders
00:43:24now.
00:43:24They are protected.
00:43:25There's the U.S. belt
00:43:26that will be up for grabs
00:43:28later on,
00:43:28but who will
00:43:29the referee be?
00:43:32Four men
00:43:32Texas Tornado
00:43:33and now the Riot Squad
00:43:34told him
00:43:35see you later.
00:43:38I guess they want
00:43:39the escort out,
00:43:40don't they?
00:43:41Why not?
00:43:42They got one in
00:43:42and you never know
00:43:43here.
00:43:43You may need them.
00:43:45Thank you,
00:43:46do you need it?
00:43:46So the Wizard
00:43:48and our Kevin Nash
00:43:49of course
00:43:50and Scott Hall
00:43:51who goes on down
00:43:52to the final eight
00:43:53of the tournament
00:43:53putting the Riot Squad
00:43:57down for the escort
00:43:58out and Hall
00:43:59celebrates as well.
00:44:02Now fans,
00:44:03don't forget
00:44:03that Kurt Hennig
00:44:05is still
00:44:05coming up
00:44:07in the tournament
00:44:08against
00:44:08Tony Waidman.
00:44:09This is all about.
00:44:10Look-see here.
00:44:13The Wizard
00:44:14is going
00:44:14for the powder.
00:44:16I guess
00:44:17the one...
00:44:19Goldberg, yeah.
00:44:23Goldberg!
00:44:24Oh!
00:44:27That security guard
00:44:28didn't take too
00:44:28kindly to that,
00:44:29did it?
00:44:30That's that security guard!
00:44:32That's Goldberg!
00:44:33Oh my God!
00:44:34Where'd he?
00:44:34Goldberg dressed up!
00:44:36It's gone!
00:44:37Payback!
00:44:39He's fine!
00:44:40Yeah!
00:44:41Goldberg is here!
00:44:43He warned him
00:44:43a week ago!
00:44:44Now he's playing
00:44:46mind game!
00:44:49Let's take a look
00:44:50at our Castro GTX replay.
00:44:52Bobby, LeBrain,
00:44:53Heenan,
00:44:53it all involves
00:44:54Goldberg
00:44:55dressed up
00:44:56as the security guard.
00:44:58And Nash
00:44:58had some powder
00:44:59in his hands,
00:44:59turned his security guard
00:45:00around to find out
00:45:01just what was wrong.
00:45:03Now he knows
00:45:04what's wrong.
00:45:04It's Goldberg.
00:45:06Spears Hall
00:45:07gets him down.
00:45:09Nash stands up,
00:45:10knocks all the spots
00:45:11off that suit.
00:45:13There's the man.
00:45:15Brought to you
00:45:15by the Motorola
00:45:16that provides
00:45:16maximum protection.
00:45:17Castro GTX.
00:45:18All right.
00:45:19The B,
00:45:20they're trying to
00:45:21phase out some
00:45:21of the older guys
00:45:22and get the new
00:45:23generation up
00:45:23and in there.
00:45:24They had enough
00:45:25guts to come to me
00:45:26and tell me,
00:45:27hey, Kurt Hennig,
00:45:27if you lose a match
00:45:29here in WCW,
00:45:30you're gonna be
00:45:30put on the bubble.
00:45:31You're gonna be gone!
00:45:33I'm Kurt Hennig,
00:45:34and when I decide
00:45:35to lace these boots
00:45:36up and hang them
00:45:37on a nail,
00:45:38I'll make that decision.
00:45:39Nobody makes
00:45:40that decision for me.
00:45:43And then two weeks
00:45:44ago after he told
00:45:45Mike Tanay
00:45:46that bold statement
00:45:47on the bubble,
00:45:48Hennig makes sure
00:45:49that he did not get pinned.
00:45:53Well, if you guys
00:45:54saved my career tonight
00:45:55when I wrestle
00:45:56the Disco Inferno,
00:45:57I'm gonna go on
00:45:58in this tournament
00:45:59and I will win
00:46:00the precious WCW Titans.
00:46:02Is there some relations
00:46:04with the Disco?
00:46:05I don't know,
00:46:05but he's walking out
00:46:06and the cap goes on
00:46:07in the ring
00:46:07with the referee.
00:46:12And the bounce out
00:46:13and Hennig survives.
00:46:17And his father
00:46:18cheers him on.
00:46:20Two weeks in a row,
00:46:21Bobby the Brain,
00:46:22he and Kurt Hennig
00:46:23have survived.
00:46:23First of all,
00:46:25in a non-tournament
00:46:27match against Lash LaRue,
00:46:28hit the referee,
00:46:29disqualification
00:46:30was not pinned.
00:46:31In the tournament
00:46:32against the Disco Inferno,
00:46:33thanks to this
00:46:34Tony Marinera character
00:46:36coming out
00:46:36and I guess
00:46:37trying to rustle up
00:46:39some money
00:46:39from the Disco Inferno,
00:46:42he wins by count out.
00:46:43But now,
00:46:44has to be
00:46:45his toughest test
00:46:47to date
00:46:48because
00:46:49not only is he facing
00:46:50a very, very fine
00:46:52pro wrestler
00:46:53in Jeff Jarrett,
00:46:54but the man who
00:46:55obviously,
00:46:56with the backing
00:46:57of the creative control,
00:46:58obviously with the backing
00:47:00of the powers that be,
00:47:02Jeff Jarrett
00:47:02is his opponent.
00:47:05So Kurt Hennig,
00:47:06we could be watching him
00:47:07for the very last time
00:47:09in his career.
00:47:10Well, Kurt made a mistake.
00:47:11He said,
00:47:11if I lose a match,
00:47:12they tell me I'm out of here.
00:47:13It's if he shoulders
00:47:14and pinned.
00:47:15If he's pinned,
00:47:16then he's out of here.
00:47:17If he's pinned,
00:47:18that's exactly right.
00:47:20Jeff Jarrett comes out.
00:47:21He is already
00:47:23very much involved
00:47:25in Medusa's match.
00:47:27I'm involved in everything.
00:47:28Well, on behalf
00:47:29of creative control,
00:47:30on behalf of the powers that be,
00:47:32he came in,
00:47:33got Medusa disqualified
00:47:35and thus
00:47:35knocked Medusa
00:47:37out of the tournament.
00:47:39Which, obviously,
00:47:40we talked about it.
00:47:41Seems very much
00:47:42that Mary Baldwin
00:47:43in the tournament
00:47:43was just a little game
00:47:45of powers that be
00:47:46were playing with her.
00:47:48But now,
00:47:49Jarrett comes out
00:47:50to face a man
00:47:51fighting for his
00:47:52whole career
00:47:53and Kurt Hennig
00:47:55gets still to come.
00:47:57Four men.
00:47:59Texas Tornado rules.
00:48:00Ladder match
00:48:01for the U.S. title
00:48:01but new
00:48:02for this special
00:48:03mystery guest referee
00:48:04that's coming up tonight
00:48:06later on in this program
00:48:08as the tournament
00:48:08continues in this week.
00:48:11Leading on to mayhem
00:48:12on the 21st.
00:48:13Hennig,
00:48:14the same way he did
00:48:15against the Disconferno
00:48:16last week,
00:48:17takes the offense
00:48:18right to his opponent
00:48:19here, Brent.
00:48:20He certainly does.
00:48:20Look at Jarrett.
00:48:21Oh no!
00:48:21Inside cradle!
00:48:22Couldn't be!
00:48:23Oh!
00:48:24Those shoulders
00:48:25were almost panting.
00:48:26Hennig survived
00:48:27a good side
00:48:28headlock takeover
00:48:29that time.
00:48:31Hennig is so quick,
00:48:31so fast,
00:48:32he's making a mistake here.
00:48:33Yes, he is.
00:48:33Another robot
00:48:34got his attention
00:48:35away, and he almost...
00:48:36I mean,
00:48:36his career's on the line
00:48:37in a second.
00:48:38In one second,
00:48:39it could be over.
00:48:40One second,
00:48:40it could be over.
00:48:41Fighting for his life.
00:48:43They're all in on it,
00:48:43Bobby.
00:48:44The referees included.
00:48:45They're all trying
00:48:45to get me out.
00:48:46Paranoia.
00:48:48Sounds to me like
00:48:48there's a conspiracy
00:48:49going on.
00:48:50What got behind you?
00:48:50Oh!
00:48:52The fight
00:48:53going on right
00:48:54in front of our
00:48:55broadcast location.
00:48:59Oh!
00:49:00You know,
00:49:00when your back's up
00:49:01against the wall
00:49:01like this,
00:49:02when you know
00:49:03that you're fighting
00:49:03for your existence,
00:49:05I'm sure Paranoia
00:49:07does start to sink in.
00:49:08I'm sure he feels
00:49:09that everybody's
00:49:10out against him.
00:49:10I'm not so sure
00:49:11that's the case,
00:49:12but then again,
00:49:13we don't know
00:49:14what to expect from him.
00:49:15But that's the way
00:49:15you have to think,
00:49:16because you think
00:49:17everybody's against you.
00:49:18You keep getting
00:49:18pushed around
00:49:19by people.
00:49:21Fight goes on.
00:49:22On the floor.
00:49:24And it is a bitter
00:49:25one at bat.
00:49:27Coming on the floor
00:49:28more than in the ring.
00:49:31Jaw first.
00:49:31On the outside.
00:49:36Jarrett.
00:49:37Is he the chosen one?
00:49:40Will he be the next
00:49:41WCW champion?
00:49:44Does he have that much
00:49:45stroke?
00:49:45Boy, it's hard to pick,
00:49:46isn't it?
00:49:47It's really hard to pick.
00:49:48The fact remains
00:49:49that all he's talked
00:49:50about has come true.
00:49:53Whenever he's in trouble,
00:49:54there's creative control.
00:49:57If you've got a friend
00:49:58on top,
00:49:59it's usually good.
00:50:01And he's going to the legs,
00:50:03kicking the legs out
00:50:04from underneath Kurt Hennig
00:50:05here.
00:50:11As Jarrett works
00:50:12on the leg.
00:50:15Jarrett would just as soon
00:50:16like to get a submission.
00:50:17Now remember,
00:50:17we talked about pitfall,
00:50:19giving up,
00:50:19as you know,
00:50:20is just like a pitfall.
00:50:22So he is hammering the legs,
00:50:23hammering the knees
00:50:24of Hennig.
00:50:25But you know,
00:50:26with Jarrett's ego,
00:50:26he'd love to be the guy
00:50:28that got rid of Kurt Hennig.
00:50:30He'd love to brag about,
00:50:31I put him out
00:50:31of this business.
00:50:33He'd love that.
00:50:35He's got a lot of power
00:50:36behind him.
00:50:39Speaking of that,
00:50:40there they are.
00:50:41Creative control.
00:50:43Just when you said
00:50:44power behind him,
00:50:46like two Spectres
00:50:48standing in the entranceway.
00:50:50They appear out of nowhere.
00:50:52It's got to be intimidation,
00:50:53but I know you would think
00:50:55that Hennig is just not
00:50:55even thinking about that
00:50:56right now.
00:50:57Just thinking about
00:50:58trying to get back
00:50:58into the verge
00:51:00of the end of a remarkable career.
00:51:03I think you fans would agree.
00:51:05Well, I know
00:51:05what he has to do right now.
00:51:06Kurt's thinking,
00:51:07I've got to stop him.
00:51:08I've got to slow him down.
00:51:09I'm going to make him
00:51:10miss something.
00:51:11I've got to get him hurt
00:51:12so I can get this leg working,
00:51:13so I can get walking around,
00:51:15so I can clear the cobwebs.
00:51:16Head of steam now for Jarrett.
00:51:26Knee lift.
00:51:27One of Hennig's fortes
00:51:28in a right hand.
00:51:30Hennig mounted a comeback.
00:51:32Makes the cover and...
00:51:34No.
00:51:37Kind of a slow count.
00:51:38Well, you know,
00:51:39it's not a...
00:51:39I don't buy that.
00:51:41Not at all.
00:51:41Well, there's no sense
00:51:42talking to you about it.
00:51:44Still got that ladder match.
00:51:45And boy, do we have him.
00:51:48And that USB will be
00:51:50high above the ladder
00:51:51coming up.
00:51:51The top of the hour.
00:51:54He was going for his move.
00:51:56That reverse Russian legs
00:51:57sweep called the stroke.
00:51:59And the referee got plunked.
00:52:02And now,
00:52:03the Hennig flex.
00:52:04His move,
00:52:05and he can win it right here.
00:52:06But the referee's down.
00:52:07Greatest control on its way.
00:52:09Uh-oh.
00:52:10Trouble for Hennig.
00:52:13Major trouble.
00:52:15We're making it our way.
00:52:20Oh, boy.
00:52:22Grit of control.
00:52:25Over this.
00:52:25No, wait a minute.
00:52:27Oh, oh!
00:52:29Oh, no.
00:52:30On the table.
00:52:30Are we on?
00:52:58I can't tell Tony's off the headset. I'm working without a net here. I got nothing from the truck coming my way. I don't know what's going
00:53:06They got to get him back into the ring. That's what they got to do
00:53:12It's got to be a one two three to end his career and Henning's holding onto the floor
00:53:18He's survived
00:53:20He made it
00:53:21The last movement of the match is a recensible count out and it gets in the tournament to Chad
00:53:43We'll be right back with something I don't know
00:53:51Okay, welcome back. Have you ever experienced anything like this? I can hear you
00:54:03There we are. No table. Hello fans, but sitting home watching TV with you Tony
00:54:08The fact remains is that even though Henning has been eliminated from the tournament because of the count out
00:54:14His career continues. He was not pinned and you see the
00:54:17The urgency from the creative controller from Jared to get him back in the ring. They wanted to pin him
00:54:22That's right. They wanted to get him out of here. Jared advances. Henning survives to fight again
00:54:28Uh-oh
00:54:30Speaking of
00:54:30Surviving
00:54:34I don't know if mostly she has survived these mind games from David Flair
00:54:38Look at her eyes. Look at her face. Her expression. Her demeanor. You know, I'll tell you
00:54:42She's beside herself
00:54:43Say what you want to about David Flair, but
00:54:45He's worked some uh
00:54:47He's goofy as a bed bug
00:54:49Yeah, he's worked some some magic here tonight as far as mind games are concerned. He has this woman flipped
00:54:56I think she's going to announce her retirement
00:55:00Or she's either going to break down and cry again
00:55:03There's no crying in wrestling
00:55:06There's been tonight
00:55:06David
00:55:07David Flair
00:55:10I'm finished running from you
00:55:14Wow on the offensive. How about that?
00:55:17That's right. I'm finished
00:55:19I'm finished
00:55:21This is going to end right now
00:55:26If you want me
00:55:29I'm right here
00:55:33Whatever you're going to do to me, man
00:55:37You're going to have to do in front of all these people
00:55:40Witnesses
00:55:43Boy, she's called his bluff here is what she's done
00:55:46Come on out
00:55:47She's at the end of her rope
00:55:48Come on, man
00:55:49And look at her, would you? She just all over the place
00:55:52I wonder what a whole pair of socks cost
00:55:54Wouldn't want to know
00:55:56Wouldn't want to know
00:55:58She wants David Flair
00:55:59Look at that, look at that, look at that face
00:56:01Look at the hair
00:56:02Look at the nerve ends
00:56:03It's Jack Nicholson Jr. is what it is
00:56:08Look at the dark circles
00:56:10He's been up for two, three weeks
00:56:11Stalking her
00:56:12Look at the eyes
00:56:14That's that Flair look
00:56:16I don't know about that
00:56:18He's coming out
00:56:22Uh oh, look from behind is Bigelow
00:56:26Bigelow is looking for him
00:56:28Moments ago
00:56:29And that's exactly what she wanted
00:56:32She set him up again
00:56:33She set him up again
00:56:34She set him up again
00:56:36And now David Flair is at the mercy of Bigelow
00:56:39The Beast from the East
00:56:40And no mercy in Obin
00:56:43Oh, a back kick
00:56:45David Flair
00:56:46Oh
00:56:47Doing what he did to DDP
00:56:49Bigelow right between the legs
00:56:52And now as he walks Bigelow to the crowbar
00:56:55Now he's after her
00:56:56She is scared to death right now
00:56:58She's going over the rail, Tony
00:57:00She's running
00:57:01Go get her, go get her
00:57:02She's petrified
00:57:03Look at her
00:57:04And David Flair continues
00:57:06To walk towards her
00:57:08And now out the building she goes
00:57:10Flair again
00:57:12Middly in control of Kimberly
00:57:14Back on Monday Nitro
00:57:19It's time for the Air Force Replay
00:57:21And plans Air Force can help you get them off the ground
00:57:24Visit Airforce.com
00:57:26And here's what happened, Bray
00:57:27Boy, he was sucking Kimberly
00:57:29David Flair had that crowbar
00:57:30Bam Bam came out of the back
00:57:32Leveled him
00:57:33David Flair, uh
00:57:35Isn't that reverse mule kick
00:57:37In the bad part of town
00:57:39Takes the crowbar to Bam Bam
00:57:41And now Kimberly realizes
00:57:43What's happened
00:57:44She is there all by her lonesome
00:57:45She takes off
00:57:49Over the rail she goes
00:57:50She's going to higher ground
00:57:51I'm getting out of town
00:57:52There's a madman after me
00:57:54With a crowbar
00:57:55I'm getting out of here
00:57:56Right now
00:57:57And as a matter of fact
00:57:58I understand it's continuing out back
00:58:00Let's with our cameras
00:58:01Go there right now
00:58:02What's going on?
00:58:03Well there's David Flair
00:58:06Kimberly
00:58:07All right let's listen in here
00:58:08She'll never get in the car
00:58:17She's too nervous
00:58:18Kimberly
00:58:21Oh her mind is frazzled
00:58:23Yeah, that's what he wanted
00:58:24That's exactly what he wanted
00:58:25Come on Kimberly
00:58:30You all fly on the car
00:58:32Come on
00:58:34Oh
00:58:35Oh, he's gone
00:58:36Bye bye here
00:58:38Get out
00:58:39Straight Jacket City for him
00:58:40Get out
00:58:41Get out
00:58:42Hold on
00:58:43He's creative control
00:58:44Hey
00:58:45Get out
00:58:46Get out
00:58:47Get out
00:58:48Get out
00:58:49Did you hear that?
00:59:10The powers to be are ready to see her now.
00:59:12Or what's left of her mentally.
00:59:14I don't think she's used to the front seat.
00:59:15She's going to the meeting with the powers to be, and there's the remnants.
00:59:17Well, fans, we're getting ready for the Texas Tornado ladder match for the U.S. title.
00:59:23Very quickly to recap what's gone down tonight.
00:59:26You see David Flair playing the Mayan Games with Kimberly,
00:59:28who's now on her way to see the powers to be finally.
00:59:31A guy named Tony Marinera comes down with cement,
00:59:33looking for money for the Disco Inferno.
00:59:36Does he get it? No.
00:59:37But he is looking for money or some sort of payback.
00:59:41The Total Package tries to apologize to Sting,
00:59:43and ends up spraying mace in the Stinger's face.
00:59:45Sting loses to Goldberg, and that's the total package of Sting
00:59:49in the tournament next week on this program.
00:59:52Kidman, Benoit, Buff Bagwell, Fred Hart, Scott Hall, and Jeff Jarrett
00:59:56all advance to the WCW World Title Tournament.
00:59:59Jeff Jarrett, of course, doing the bidding of the powers that be,
01:00:03although, as you see, Scott Hall,
01:00:08although Kurt Hennig did survive, losing by Countdown,
01:00:11he will wrestle again.
01:00:12I saw Jim Douglas were relegated to the bathroom duty
01:00:15for the powers that be.
01:00:16And it looks like Tyrone Guerrero Jr. is outselling,
01:00:19maybe Amway somewhere.
01:00:21The shocking return of Dustin Rhodes.
01:00:23Not Goldust, not Seven, not Dustin Reynolds.
01:00:26Dustin Rhodes with a brand-new attitude.
01:00:28Stevie Ray suspended by the powers that be.
01:00:31Booker T calling out creative control.
01:00:34We have an impromptu Harlem Street fight.
01:00:36A very big muscular woman hits the ring,
01:00:39and then out of sub-defense only,
01:00:41Jeff Jarrett Waxer with the guitar.
01:00:44And how about the Nitro Girl fight that we saw tonight?
01:00:47But I want to know who the guest referee is for this match.
01:00:49We don't know yet.
01:00:51Don't we still have two more guys to call out here
01:00:53in this ladder match?
01:00:55Texas Tornado rules.
01:00:57Yes, Bret Hart comes hobbling down.
01:00:59It wasn't hobbling that much earlier.
01:01:01Also tonight, an I-quit match signed for mayhem
01:01:04between Goldberg and Sting.
01:01:05A chain match between Vampiro and Berlin.
01:01:08The hardcore title on the line
01:01:09with Norman screaming Norman against Brian Nobbs.
01:01:14Rey Mysterio Jr.'s knee is sort of hurt by the revolution.
01:01:18And the Outsiders pull up fast.
01:01:19But I've seen Vicious.
01:01:22There's still no referee
01:01:23as Goldberg, the fourth man, comes in.
01:01:26Who is a special referee?
01:01:28Who's it gonna be?
01:01:31Maybe there isn't one.
01:01:32Maybe that was just propaganda.
01:01:33Who knows?
01:01:34All that I've been talking about and a whole lot more.
01:01:37I have no idea who this referee is, fans, but...
01:01:40Do we need one?
01:01:41The fact that we have been promised a special referee
01:01:45lends me to believe that...
01:01:47I don't know.
01:01:48One is evident, but right now they fight without a referee.
01:01:52But who can control this?
01:01:53The U.S. belt high above.
01:01:55By a hook.
01:01:56The ladder will be here.
01:01:59The referee...
01:01:59The referee's Kevin Nash!
01:02:02Kevin Nash is the special referee
01:02:04assigned here.
01:02:05Can you believe that one?
01:02:06The referee's Kevin Nash is the special referee
01:02:14assigned here.
01:02:16Can you believe that one?
01:02:18Control of the ladder.
01:02:24This don't look good.
01:02:29There's a rat here, boy.
01:02:30We've talked about smelling a rat in the last couple of weeks.
01:02:33and the fact with Nash being the referee.
01:02:36What do you think, Brain?
01:02:38You think that gives someone a decisive advantage here?
01:02:41I would say maybe Scott Hall.
01:02:43Hold on. Hang on.
01:02:44I've got a huge announcement coming across the headset right now.
01:02:48Yes, I can read this. Here it is.
01:02:50It says we've just...
01:02:51Look at this, Brain.
01:02:53We've just found out what the powers-to-be wanted
01:02:57with that meeting with Kimberly.
01:02:59Are you ready for this?
01:03:00Yeah, give it a minute.
01:03:00Of all we have signed tonight,
01:03:02the powers-to-be have now signed Kimberly.
01:03:05She has been forced to meet David Flair in the ring,
01:03:09one-on-one at Mayhem.
01:03:11I'm going to buy a ticket to that.
01:03:13I've got to see that.
01:03:15David Flair and Kimberly will be one-on-one.
01:03:17I can't believe what I'm saying.
01:03:19And thinking of my engage,
01:03:20he's going to play with her up until then.
01:03:21Up until then.
01:03:22Oh, this is going to be tremendous.
01:03:23Kimberly and David Flair, that was the big meeting.
01:03:26Boy, this has not been her night.
01:03:27As we look at the four men going at it
01:03:31for the U.S. strap,
01:03:33which is high above the ring.
01:03:35The only way to get it is the ladder.
01:03:38But who will it be?
01:03:40Well, as long as there's two or three men standing,
01:03:43you're going to have a problem.
01:03:44Somebody's got levels,
01:03:46at least three amount to get the ladder by yourself.
01:03:47Look at the look that Sid Vicious shot towards
01:03:50Big Sexy that time.
01:03:51He realized he was set up as well by the Outsiders.
01:03:53The fans are chanting Goldberg,
01:03:56but it's Sid Vicious with the first chance
01:03:58to get the gold.
01:03:59But Goldberg stops him cold on that.
01:04:05From behind, Scott Hall.
01:04:07And now, Rick Steiner.
01:04:08Rick Steiner, he has been after
01:04:10Sid Vicious all night.
01:04:12Remember the power bomb on Thunder.
01:04:15He's been a close friend of Sid Vicious.
01:04:17Sid has had no time for him tonight at all.
01:04:19So I guess he wants to come out now
01:04:21and get a word with Sid Vicious.
01:04:24Kind of an inopportune time,
01:04:25if you ask me, but he's out.
01:04:27Talk about bad timing.
01:04:30That's the word he wanted with Sid Vicious.
01:04:32Now, will you talk to me, Mr. Vicious?
01:04:35The Steiner Bulldog.
01:04:36And the special referee allows us to go on.
01:04:40Sid Vicious is down.
01:04:42He hit hard.
01:04:43Goldberg is fighting with Rick Steiner,
01:04:45who's not even involved in this thing.
01:04:47And that gives Bret Hart it up for chance
01:04:50to go up and get it.
01:04:51Bret Hart's all the way there.
01:04:53Bret Hart.
01:04:55He's got it.
01:04:55He's got it.
01:04:56Now, wait a minute.
01:04:56Nash is up to something.
01:04:57Look at Nash there.
01:04:58He's gone.
01:04:59Bret Hart dropped the belt.
01:05:02And Nash caught it.
01:05:03Nash caught it.
01:05:03He hit him in that bad leg
01:05:05with a pipe or a bat
01:05:06or some sort of an object.
01:05:09The referee's got the belt.
01:05:12Well, his word is law in that ring.
01:05:15Yes, it is.
01:05:16And look at Scott Hall.
01:05:20And the referee's holding the ladder.
01:05:22Scott Hall grabs the belt.
01:05:24The referee, Kevin Nash,
01:05:26signals for the belt.
01:05:27We've got a new U.S. champion.
01:05:30The outsiders have worked their magic again.
01:05:33They've done it again.
01:05:35Scott Hall, this time,
01:05:36is a legitimate U.S. camp
01:05:38because Kevin Nash is the referee.
01:05:40And he deemed it so.
01:05:43The back remains, though.
01:05:48That Bret Hart must go on
01:05:50in the tournament
01:05:50with a bad leg
01:05:51that's been whacked by the bar.
01:05:55I don't think that leg
01:05:56can take much more, Tony.
01:05:57I said it earlier,
01:05:59and I'll say it again.
01:05:59Say what you want
01:06:00about the powers to be.
01:06:02But we have had
01:06:03one entertaining night
01:06:05at WCW Monday Nitro.
01:06:07What's thunder gonna be like?
01:06:09Hell.
01:06:09I'm a fan of the love.
