00:00:00He is on his way to the arena, it is creative control against Nash,
00:00:05a handicap match, and they're out to take him out next.
00:00:12Last night at Starrcade, Liz wanted to use her mace and Sting.
00:00:15No, use my mace.
00:00:16She did slap the total package, but Sting's mace was silly string.
00:00:20He knew he was being set up all along.
00:00:23Sting, though, was on the attack.
00:00:25Liz came in with a bat, Sting said put it away.
00:00:28Did she put it away? She did not.
00:00:30I can tell you, never in our wildest dreams did we ever think that Elizabeth, Liz if you will,
00:00:37was capable of such a violent, vicious act that she did on Sting.
00:00:42She hit the man in the face with the ball bat last night.
00:00:46You can see the replay tomorrow night, the Encore presentation.
00:00:49Let me tell you this, Sting has suffered a fracture, a hairline fracture of the skull.
00:00:56And he has a fractured wrist.
00:00:59When they put the wrist in the chair and stomped it last night,
00:01:02that was a frightful thing to see what Liz would do.
00:01:05I never thought, Brain, you've known her a long time that she would do something like this.
00:01:09Well, I knew her the years she was with Macho Man.
00:01:12I've known her since she was with Luger, and I've never seen her act that way.
00:01:16I know she's coy and she's tricky and she's cute.
00:01:20She's smart, she's devilish, but I've never seen that display of violence out of her in my life.
00:01:25I saw it live last night and I still don't believe it.
00:01:28I've got to get that replay tomorrow just to really make sure that what I saw took place.
00:01:34Well, I'll tell you about that replay, I want to see that ladder match again.
00:01:39Oh, the ladder match?
00:01:40Yes, I want to see the whole pay-per-view again.
00:01:42That was tremendous.
00:01:43I can't believe I was there and had the privilege of calling it.
00:01:468 o'clock tomorrow night, the Encore presentation.
00:01:51I'd like to say hello to our good friend Scott Hudson who joined us last night, great broadcaster.
00:01:56He was with us last night.
00:01:58He'll join us on Thunder that's coming Thursday.
00:02:02But as we go into this, Kevin Nash comes out in the handicap match to face creative control.
00:02:11What's he pointing at here?
00:02:12You know, this isn't really even a match.
00:02:14There's no referee.
00:02:16This is just a personal issue between Kevin Nash and creative control.
00:02:21Wait a minute.
00:02:25Is that?
00:02:26In the shadows, could it be?
00:02:28It is!
00:02:30Yo!
00:02:31It's Scott Hall!
00:02:33Scott Hall who has a severe knee injury that prevented him from going to Starrcade last night.
00:02:39That heading forfeit the U.S. belt to Benoit that busted up Benoit and Jared in the ladder match.
00:02:46We didn't know he was here!
00:02:48What a shocker this is!
00:02:51Scott Hall to join his Outsiders partner, Kevin Nash.
00:02:54There you see them.
00:02:55The WCW World Tag Team Champions.
00:02:58And you can just see how much pain he is in.
00:03:03He's gonna be on the shelf for a while.
00:03:05Yeah, I believe so.
00:03:07The creative control, they were told by the powers that be to take out Kevin Nash for his incredible comments he made earlier in the program.
00:03:17Well, Hall is with him.
00:03:19Although I'm not so sure how much help he's gonna be at all and nothing else moral support here.
00:03:23And how about this big sexy end and creative control on the outside?
00:03:29Well, even if it's just going to be moral support on the part of Scott Hall, it's obvious that creative control was not ready to see both Outsiders.
00:03:38Creative control rolled out to the ring.
00:03:40They're gonna have to rethink their strategy now.
00:03:43And guys, remember this.
00:03:44Remember the mood.
00:03:45Remember the demeanor of Kevin Nash.
00:03:48What's going through his mind right now.
00:03:50He feels the boys have been screwed.
00:03:52He feels that someone did things they shouldn't do.
00:03:55And for this fraternity called professional wrestling, there could be 25 guys across that ring from him.
00:04:02He's ready tonight.
00:04:04You know, we were talking in the locker room area in our announcer's locker room brain, you and I, about the years that you spent in wrestling.
00:04:11And how many times that the boys, so to speak, have been given the shaft.
00:04:16And it's countless times.
00:04:17And that was the first time anyone of the boys ever stood up and spoke out for them as a unit. Ever.
00:04:24I've heard the boys speak out, but they had never done it on TV like that.
00:04:27Never on TV.
00:04:28They've done it in wrestling room.
00:04:29And some guys have gone to the promoter's office and trashed it.
00:04:32And there's no referees, guys.
00:04:34There is no referee here.
00:04:36This is just meant to take out Kevin Nash.
00:04:41And from Kevin Nash's standpoint, if you want to physically harm the powers that be, you have to do it through their muscle.
00:04:49And that's creative control.
00:04:51Oh.
00:04:52Oh.
00:04:53It all takes real good.
00:04:54Oh.
00:04:55Oh!
00:04:56Oh, it sits real.
00:04:57Oh!
00:04:58Oh-oh!
00:04:59Oh-oh!
00:05:00Big Needle to fight Nash.
00:05:01Driving it in..
00:05:05As big as greater controls, as big as these guys are.
00:05:07I can't expectbu au-oh.
00:05:10Oh, big foot.
00:05:12Nash ducks that one and drops him down with a side slam.
00:05:16Well, Scott Hall did help out.
00:05:18He gave him the high sign, and Kevin Nash
00:05:20saw the other creative control member coming from behind.
00:05:23Right of both, cowboy.
00:05:29Nash going into this fight for survival,
00:05:31and he gets a double team.
00:05:36This is where Nash is in a lot of trouble.
00:05:41Because there is no reason or rhyme for effort to pin them in.
00:05:45You know, Tony, I'm sorry, go ahead.
00:05:47When they get you down, they just want to stomp a hole in you.
00:05:50I can't keep thinking about what Nash said out here.
00:05:53And like I said, people have talked before
00:05:55to promoters and guys in the office,
00:05:57but never has anybody taken that much guts
00:06:00to get on national television
00:06:02in front of millions and millions of people all over the world
00:06:05and express how he feels about his sport, his industry.
00:06:09I've never seen that done before in my life.
00:06:11I've never seen an article like that written.
00:06:13Yeah, and now Kevin Nash is paying for that outspokenness.
00:06:16He's paying for that guts that he displayed earlier
00:06:19as creative control has certainly turned the momentum around.
00:06:22Scott Hall still want to have the world tag team champs,
00:06:27and they're gonna tag in and out here
00:06:29and both take their time working on Kevin Nash.
00:06:32Uh-oh. Uh-oh, he's right.
00:06:35He's had a history of a bad leg, bad knee.
00:06:38That size and a good form at that level.
00:06:41A lot of times the knee will go out.
00:06:43Just answer one, Scott Hall.
00:06:45And don't forget, he's carrying around over 300 pounds
00:06:47on a seven-foot frame.
00:06:48Speaking of don't forget, let's not forget
00:06:51the ladder match that we're gonna have for you
00:06:53between Jarrett and Benoit.
00:06:55That's coming up in just a few moments.
00:06:56And the fact that WCW titles have been vacated.
00:07:00Bret Hart's not the champion.
00:07:02Goldberg's not the champion.
00:07:03But tonight, they will go at it for that title.
00:07:06Scott Hall's up and in.
00:07:09Scott Hall looks in pretty good shape to me.
00:07:12Scott Hall, he hobbled in, but he is standing on his own two legs.
00:07:19Another miracle.
00:07:21Take out match, I think not.
00:07:26There's the Outsiders.
00:07:29And there's the answer to the powers that be.
00:07:34So I guess this one's over because creative control's walking away.
00:07:41No one, two, three, no submission.
00:07:45It was not a match, it was a fight.
00:07:47And it's one that the Outsiders rose to the occasion to.
00:07:52And Tony coming up.
00:07:55Never heard of it before.
00:07:57A return ladder match tonight.
00:08:04All right, we're gonna be coming your way.
00:08:06And just where are we going now?
00:08:08What is...
00:08:10Oh, is it that hilarious?
00:08:14That's Elizabeth with that ball bat.
00:08:17And that's gotta be the total package.
00:08:20With a mocking sting.
00:08:22That's gotta be funny.
00:08:23The man is hurt severely.
00:08:25But Chris Benoit, you see the cut on his nose received last night.
00:08:30He's gonna put his body on the line again against Jeff Jarrett in a ladder match.
00:08:34It is next.
00:08:39There's the ladder as we are back live here on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:08:43And that ladder was very instrumental last night in what will go down as one of the finest matches ever on a WCW pay-per-view.
00:08:51Between the same two men are coming out here tonight.
00:08:55I don't think there's any questions.
00:08:57We talked about this last night during the broadcast of Shark Game.
00:09:01And if you watch the on-court presentation tomorrow, I think you'll agree with us tomorrow.
00:09:07That Jeff Jarrett, even though he is in many ways the chosen one of the powers to be, he has not backed down from any challenges.
00:09:17We got a newfound respect for Jeff Jarrett last night.
00:09:20Here's one of the reasons why.
00:09:22He had to come out early in a bunkhouse crawl against Justin Rogues.
00:09:25Bunkhouse crawl, cover jar, use anything you can to get a win, anything goes.
00:09:30It was just that.
00:09:31Jeff Jarrett and Justin Rogues really pushed it to the limit last night.
00:09:36Jeff Jarrett got the win.
00:09:38And then when we found out that Scott Hall could not come out and wrestle.
00:09:42Then when he was stripped apart of the history of the title.
00:09:46And the title was given to Ben Waugh.
00:09:48And the match was forfeit what Ben Waugh did.
00:09:51He came to the ring and he said, I don't want to win this way.
00:09:54I want someone to step up for the challenge.
00:09:56I want someone to come in and make new ladder matches.
00:09:59Jarrett entered the challenge.
00:10:01He wrestled twice.
00:10:02That's why we have that respect.
00:10:04I think I'm bringing back all of them for Jeff Jarrett on this one.
00:10:08You know there have been some great ladder matches in professional wrestling history.
00:10:12But I think about last night between Chris Ben Waugh and this man, Jeff Jarrett,
00:10:18he flipped all of them.
00:10:20I think it was the greatest ladder match ever in the history of flow wrestling.
00:10:24And to me, it's an absolute miracle that these guys can even walk.
00:10:28Some of the things that we saw in that match last night.
00:10:31And then when you factor in the powers that be.
00:10:34How heartless can the powers be?
00:10:37The fact that they could care less about these two individuals.
00:10:40Sending them out for this return bout tonight for the U.S. heavyweight title.
00:10:45Well, Tanay, for you to say that, the greatest ladder match you've ever seen.
00:10:48You've never given a match or anybody a 10 in their life.
00:10:50And for you to say this, imagine what it's going to be like when you see it again tomorrow night.
00:10:55Imagine what this one's going to be.
00:10:57A return.
00:10:58Both these men, there's more hatred right now than there was last night.
00:11:01This is going to be better than you've ever seen before.
00:11:04Benoit is the U.S. champ.
00:11:06Benoit does not have to strap around his weight.
00:11:08That's because it is high above the ring.
00:11:10And of course, the rules are, commandeer the ladder, put it in the center of the ring,
00:11:15climb up, and get the belt.
00:11:16There you see it, top of your screen.
00:11:18And thus, you are the winner, the champion.
00:11:21There's the mark on Benoit's nose.
00:11:23He got it opened up when Jarrett did a baseball slide drop kick on the ladder that hit Benoit in the nose.
00:11:30He had to battle the blood last night to win this thing.
00:11:34It was electrifying, to say the least, and we're going to do it again.
00:11:37And you know, oh, excuse me, one thing.
00:11:39When the match was over, one way or the other, the people stood and applauded.
00:11:42Yes, they did.
00:11:43What a match they saw.
00:11:44You've got to see this tomorrow night.
00:11:46You know, of all people, I've had some problems with Jeff Jarrett,
00:11:49but I also, Tony, found that respect last night,
00:11:52and that respect level went way up for Jarrett and Benoit as well.
00:11:56And from you, Mike, see what's...
00:11:58Whoa!
00:11:59That's a great kick.
00:12:00Seeing what's happened, that says a lot to you in the hands of Jeff Jarrett.
00:12:03And here we go.
00:12:04And Benoit, it looks like just picking up where he left off last night,
00:12:08that's saying a lot considering how he's got to be feeling right now.
00:12:12How about a...
00:12:14Not only a drop kick on the head,
00:12:16how about an elbow drop using the left side ropes for momentum from Benoit.
00:12:22To come back with the intensity that Benoit has done in the opening minute of this match.
00:12:27Well, I guess we would expect no less from the Canadian Crippler.
00:12:31And as great as that latter match was last night, that's how bizarre the world title ended last night.
00:12:38And we've got the return match for our now vacated title still to come between Goldberg and Threat the Hitman Hart.
00:12:47Guys, don't tip the hand, but last night, do you agree with me?
00:12:51And just think about what I'm talking about.
00:12:53How about that one move Benoit did?
00:12:56That made everybody stand on their feet.
00:12:58Remember with the ladder?
00:12:59We'll never forget it.
00:13:00Oh, you've got to see this.
00:13:02You know, they had...
00:13:04I mean, Benoit had Jarrett hung up last night, remember, upside down the ladder.
00:13:09I think he injured his knee a bit there.
00:13:11You're talking about Jeff Jarrett?
00:13:12Yeah.
00:13:13I don't think there's any question Jeff Jarrett is not at 100% coming into this matchup,
00:13:19and I don't think Benoit can be either, especially so quickly.
00:13:22The fact that they've had to come back just 24 hours after that war last night.
00:13:26It was an amazing scene, an amazing match.
00:13:28It will go down.
00:13:29Like you said, the greatest ladder match ever.
00:13:32It will go down.
00:13:33It's one of the greatest Starcade matches of them.
00:13:35No doubt about that.
00:13:36When they put it together for the great Starcade matches of all time,
00:13:40I said it was the match of the year.
00:13:41And I dare anyone to say there was a better match here.
00:13:44Well, wait a minute now.
00:13:45Here we go.
00:13:46Jarrett is going for the ladder.
00:13:47Time for school.
00:13:49And on the outside, Benoit catches him.
00:13:52Remember, the efforts to get the ladder have to be preceded by the fact
00:13:57that you get your opponent into a position where he cannot prevent you
00:14:01from commanding the ladder.
00:14:03Obviously, Jarrett thought he had Benoit in that shape, and he was wrong.
00:14:08Benoit blocked the chair shut, and Benoit's going at it again.
00:14:12Both of these competitors trying to wear each other down.
00:14:19You're right, Tony, to the point where they can go and retrieve the ladder
00:14:22and head up the ladder and capture that U.S. title.
00:14:25And Benoit apparently confident enough that he has Jarrett in the position.
00:14:29He's bringing the ladder to the ring.
00:14:31Jarrett trying that baseball slide drop kick double to move that connector
00:14:35with the ladder last night that cut open Benoit's nose.
00:14:38But this time, Benoit sidestepped it.
00:14:40This line, Benoit was a step ahead.
00:14:42And now, with a chub, he's bringing a chair in the ring with it.
00:14:45Why not?
00:14:50Well, referee Nick Patrick, the only thing he is there to do is the counter winner.
00:14:54He's on the outside.
00:14:59The chair propped up.
00:15:01This does not look good.
00:15:03In the corner, and it does not look good more specifically for one Jeff Jarrett here.
00:15:08Is that a chopper once?
00:15:17Jarrett hitting the chair very hard and going down.
00:15:26The physical aspect of last night's match at Starrcade has continued here this evening at Nitro.
00:15:32And Chris Benoit still has the chair in hand.
00:15:36You heard the reverberation of that chair shot?
00:15:43Yes, I did.
00:15:45Echoing all throughout the arena just like the knife edge chop.
00:15:48Watch this, guys. On the chair.
00:15:51The steel legs of the chair, lower back caught him.
00:15:56Not done yet.
00:15:59And he's gonna do it again.
00:16:11Meanwhile, on the other side, Jarrett just tries to get up.
00:16:14They can try to combat this.
00:16:16He hits that chair in the back again.
00:16:17That back may go out once and for all.
00:16:20I think Jarrett has had three of the toughest matches in his life in 24 hours.
00:16:24Yes, he has.
00:16:25Yes, he has.
00:16:26And he's still standing.
00:16:27Oh, back one out.
00:16:30Oh, it's his knee.
00:16:31It's his knee.
00:16:32You know, we talked about that earlier, Bobby.
00:16:34The fact that that knee, I think he just tweaked it maybe last night and it looks like he just blew the knee out.
00:16:39But when he landed on the floor and he was in front of me and you could see the leg bend.
00:16:43Remember, thighs of his leg bend a little bit like that.
00:16:46Well, last night he got that leg caught up in the rung of a ladder and was hanging upside down.
00:16:51And as Benoit was trying to climb up the ladder last night, he used his legs to tip the ladder over with him stuck in it.
00:16:58I think they want the trainer out here.
00:17:00Well, guess what?
00:17:01Yeah, this is the opening Benoit's been looking for.
00:17:03That's exactly right.
00:17:04He's giving Benoit the shot to climb up the ladder and grab the belt.
00:17:07There's the big opening when he opens that ladder.
00:17:10Yeah, it's going to be academic.
00:17:11Now he just has to climb the ladder and get the U.S. title.
00:17:18But he just climbed that ladder yesterday.
00:17:21The rung broke out of the ladder.
00:17:26Oh, I don't buy that.
00:17:27Somebody is giving this ladder.
00:17:29Of course they have.
00:17:30And you know who it is.
00:17:31Kimmer?
00:17:32He tried to climb up and then the rung.
00:17:37It doesn't smell, right?
00:17:39And now they're trying to climb up the other side.
00:17:43Jarrett's still on the floor.
00:17:45Look at that one rung broken out.
00:17:48And he's not so sure about climbing up there.
00:17:52It broke out again.
00:17:54Oh, look at the recovery of the knee injury from Jarrett.
00:17:58Toon time.
00:18:07Now how's Jarrett going to get up?
00:18:10What in the world he's going to do?
00:18:12He's going to get a couple chairs.
00:18:15He's got another ladder.
00:18:17Yeah, it's all crystal clear now.
00:18:19This plan by Jeff Jarrett.
00:18:21You're saying what?
00:18:22He's the chosen one, guys.
00:18:24Yeah, you're saying the power is the big gimmick the ladder?
00:18:26Who else could it be?
00:18:27He's the chosen one, guys.
00:18:29What a blatant, blatant screw job this is.
00:18:31Fill in the blanks.
00:18:33They were upset he would have to wrestle twice.
00:18:36That one's not moving.
00:18:37They want to know about the second ladder.
00:18:39We have a new United States champion, I believe.
00:18:43You're right, it's over.
00:18:45And he earns it.
00:18:47He did it the highway, guys.
00:18:49He earned it.
00:18:50What?
00:18:51Hello?
00:18:52What are you talking about?
00:18:53He earned it.
00:18:54He climbed to the top of the ladder, didn't he?
00:18:56He give it the other ladder.
00:18:58Benoit was on the verge of victory.
00:19:00You never saw him give it the ladder.
00:19:01You can't accuse a man of something until you see him do it, you pig mouth.
00:19:09Alright, we are back with Jeff Jarrett, the new United States champ.
00:19:12Now, unlike last night, you came fully prepared for the ladder match meeting Chris Benoit.
00:19:18However, there's no question in my mind, you gimmicked that ladder, Jeff Jarrett.
00:19:23Listen, slap nuts, you better take the bass out of your voice or I'm gonna take you out like I took today out.
00:19:28I guess they just don't make ladders like they used to, now do they?
00:19:31Apparently not.
00:19:32Well, what happened at Starrcade last night was a bunch of bullshit.
00:19:37Tonight, Chris Benoit got his receipt.
00:19:40Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:19:41Kurt Henning.
00:19:42If you wanna see you right now in the limo.
00:19:43Right now.
00:19:44Right now?
00:19:45Right now. Let's go.
00:19:46The powers to be.
00:19:47Okay.
00:19:48Well, I don't know if powers to be immediately stop this interview with Jeff Jarrett and run to see them.
00:19:56I wonder if they're gonna congratulate him about his win.
00:20:01What could that be all about? They just pulled the plug right in mid-interview.
00:20:04Obviously, we're going to have more champagne from the limo.
00:20:11All right, Sid Vicious makes his way out.
00:20:13We talked earlier about Sid Vicious against the Wall fans.
00:20:16We are throwing towards the time where we have the return bounce, so to speak.
00:20:23I guess you can't even call a return bounce because the title's been vacated.
00:20:27We have Bret Hart, Goldberg, both men challenged, neither man.
00:20:32Neither man.
00:20:34Champions.
00:20:35And they'll be going after the vacated WCW title tonight right here on this program live from Baltimore.
00:20:44The most prestigious championship belt in our sport was vacated earlier tonight by Bret the Hitman Hart.
00:20:51The man who had worked so hard to gain that championship belt.
00:20:55And Tony, you just put it fast.
00:20:56Two challengers go into the ring tonight.
00:20:58One champion walks out.
00:21:00Okay, Mike, you were on TBS in Thunder.
00:21:03And here's what went down.
00:21:04This is last Thursday.
00:21:05Go ahead.
00:21:06Well, it was last Thursday on Thunder.
00:21:07This matchup involving the Wall and Steve Dr. Death Williams.
00:21:11And we saw the problems, the friction.
00:21:13It escalated between Berlin and the Wall to the point where the Wall can just take it no longer.
00:21:23They have had their problems for about two weeks.
00:21:25And you're right.
00:21:26One shot.
00:21:27And it was a shot heard around Germany, so to speak, from the Wall.
00:21:32And now the Wall, who is a mammoth man in his own right, is gonna face Sid Fish.
00:21:38Now, if you're wondering what happened in the Masters of the Powerbomb match, one of our main events last night at StarCash,
00:21:44we remind you again to watch the Encore presentation.
00:21:48It is available beginning tomorrow on all the pay-per-view cable and satellite systems.
00:21:53Be sure to make that appropriate quality order if you wanna see it again or see it for the first time.
00:22:00Sid Vicious now on the Wall hooked up.
00:22:02Not many men see eye to eye with Sid Vicious.
00:22:06We're talking about in stature, but the Wall is one of them.
00:22:09A foot from Sid put the Wall down, though, that time.
00:22:11And no question, this is the biggest test, both physically, as you mentioned, in terms of stature for the Wall,
00:22:18as well as a competitor in Sid Vicious.
00:22:20Look out.
00:22:21Good shot.
00:22:25Sid Vicious nails him with a bottle of water.
00:22:31My water.
00:22:34And he is on the assault.
00:22:37Sid Vicious, much like his friend Chris Manois, who was wiped out with that guitar
00:22:47and hurt by Jeff Jarrett, is on the offensive air.
00:22:53Both big, huge men.
00:22:55You'd think you'd see one of them backpedaling or trying to set up something.
00:22:59No, they're just standing there fighting each other, toe-to-toe.
00:23:02One, two, three.
00:23:03The Wall's rebounding, though.
00:23:04He's mounting an assault here, an attack on Sid Vicious.
00:23:07Sid's gonna put him in a chokeslam.
00:23:12Did he ever.
00:23:14Wow, what a chokeslam that was.
00:23:16Hey, Berlin's up.
00:23:17Berlin, you would have think would have learned his wrestling on Thursday night.
00:23:24I'm surprised he's out here.
00:23:26After the problems that they had on Thunder.
00:23:30Berlin dropped down in the apron.
00:23:36Sid taking his time.
00:23:40He's gonna put that powerbomb on the wall.
00:23:45Another wall trying to get out of those legs just too.
00:23:54Berlin back up on the apron again.
00:23:58And again down, and that brings the wall back into this.
00:24:03So Berlin really helped the wall out right there.
00:24:06Bought some time for the wall.
00:24:09And it was just that momentary distraction as Berlin jumped up on the ring apron
00:24:14that allows the wall to turn it around against Big Sid.
00:24:17Sid gets up.
00:24:19The wall points for him.
00:24:21He's gonna chokeslam too.
00:24:23We've seen him many times.
00:24:25Can he chokeslam Sid Vicious?
00:24:28Missile dropkick from Berlin.
00:24:30And the bell sounds.
00:24:32Right when he was gonna put his move on,
00:24:34Sid Vicious, Berlin would have done it.
00:24:36And now Berlin bad-mouthing the wall.
00:24:39And bad-mouthing Sid, you don't do that.
00:24:41And now Berlin realizes he's made a critical error.
00:24:46The biggest mistake of his life, maybe.
00:24:48And it's too late.
00:24:49It's powerbomb Sid in.
00:24:53The wall back to his feet.
00:25:03Uh-oh.
00:25:04Now what's gonna happen?
00:25:05Face to face, the wall and Big Sid Vicious.
00:25:12Maybe he shouldn't have attacked Berlin.
00:25:15Both men are so cautious at this point.
00:25:21What's gonna happen?
00:25:24Is Sid extending his hand?
00:25:25Yes.
00:25:26Yes, he is.
00:25:27And he and Berlin, or he and the wall with Berlin down,
00:25:30have a mutual respect for each other.
00:25:33You're ribbing me, right?
00:25:34Why didn't you tell me?
00:25:35Jeff, man, I couldn't tell you.
00:25:36It was bigger than the both of us.
00:25:37You got it.
00:25:38On top of this, it's gonna happen tonight?
00:25:40Tonight's the night.
00:25:41On top of this, right?
00:25:42On top of this.
00:25:43I don't know what to say, man.
00:25:44Jeff, you don't have to say anything.
00:25:45You sit back in the jail.
00:25:46Hey, Pop.
00:25:47You're gonna be so proud of me and the boys.
00:25:48We took care of that guy and that thing, you know?
00:25:49Hey, boy, bring him in.
00:25:50Bring him in.
00:25:51I'm getting tired of you.
00:25:52Get up against the desk.
00:25:53Make yourself nice.
00:25:54Fix your head around, man.
00:25:55Fix your head.
00:25:56Come on.
00:25:57Come on.
00:25:58Come on.
00:25:59Come on.
00:26:00Come on.
00:26:01Come on.
00:26:02Come on.
00:26:03Come on.
00:26:04Come on.
00:26:05Come on.
00:26:06Come on.
00:26:07Come on.
00:26:08Come on.
00:26:09Come on.
00:26:10Come on.
00:26:11Come on.
00:26:12Come on.
00:26:13Come on.
00:26:14Come on.
00:26:15Come on.
00:26:16Can't tire your face.
00:26:17Force.
00:26:18Force.
00:26:19Force.
00:26:20Force.
00:26:21I got you.
00:26:22I've been hearing things, Glenn.
00:26:24I hear you embarrassed my son and his boys in public.
00:26:27Not for nothing, boss.
00:26:28Relax.
00:26:29Relax.
00:26:30Relax.
00:26:31They tried to put me in a body bag.
00:26:32What am I supposed to do?
00:26:33They talk when they should be listening.
00:26:35That's right.
00:26:36We talk when we should be listening.
00:26:39Antonio, what's the matter with you?
00:26:41Don't ever tell anybody outside the family what you're thinking again.
00:26:44That's real good, Pop.
00:26:45That's good.
00:26:46How did you let it come this far?
00:26:47Yeah, why, Glenn?
00:26:48I mean, I'm not a bad guy.
00:26:51And I always liked you.
00:26:54But now, you've pissed me off.
00:26:57Hey, I mean, I had problems with the money before, but I have all the money now.
00:27:01It's no problem.
00:27:02Forget about it.
00:27:03Your money's no longer good to me.
00:27:05What does that mean?
00:27:07The way I see it, you have two choices.
00:27:10You got two choices.
00:27:12One, you can join the family and do whatever my son orders you to do.
00:27:18What I said.
00:27:19Or two, you can spend the rest of your life in a coma.
00:27:24That's right.
00:27:25Sleep with the fishes deep in the sea.
00:27:27What's it gonna be, Glenn?
00:27:29It's your choice.
00:27:36Pretty tough choice for the Disco Inferno, but as we look on, we see that Bret Hart is stretching,
00:27:42preparing to go after the vacated WCW title tonight, and on the other side, it's Goldberg.
00:27:49In just a few moments, these two men will collide again.
00:27:54It's gonna be nothing left than an explosion, but as we look on, we prepare for the next one.
00:27:59I want to go back to what we saw, what we heard from the limousine right before the break.
00:28:05The powers that be just confirmed that something big is going to happen tonight.
00:28:10What in the world big could happen tonight?
00:28:14And Jared's holding the United States belt.
00:28:16Bigger than this, bigger than this, and they said huge.
00:28:19It shocked him.
00:28:20What is it, Mike?
00:28:21Did you see that look on Jared's face when the powers that be confirmed it for him,
00:28:26that there's gonna be something major?
00:28:28Some huge thing is gonna go down here tonight.
00:28:31We saw it was a remote office location of the powers that be.
00:28:34I think it's just too bad that the powers weren't in their office when Rowdy Roddy Piper went ballistic earlier,
00:28:40but they concluded that when the powers that be said to Jared,
00:28:43just sit back and enjoy it.
00:28:46Well, as we said, the rumors confirm the varsity club is back together again
00:28:51with Kevin Sullivan, with Rick Steiner, with Mike Rotunda, and with their cheerleader.
00:28:58And Kevin Sullivan has joined the broadcast location.
00:29:03And as Kevin Sullivan has joined the broadcast location, here comes the Harlem H.
00:29:19The Harlem Heat!
00:29:29Now, before we let Kevin talk here, let's go back to last night and this week, or last Monday,
00:29:36there have been problems with Midnight and a Harlem Heat.
00:29:40More specifically, Midnight and Stevie Ray have not seen eye to eye.
00:29:45She inadvertently caused a loss one week ago.
00:29:49Last Thursday, Mike Tenet, this all went down on Thunder.
00:29:53More problems here in a matchup involving Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
00:29:58We saw the friction once again between the brothers, Booker T and Stevie Ray,
00:30:03and then again last night at Starfleet.
00:30:05Man, me and you would have been up and down the road.
00:30:06We would have fought our way to the top.
00:30:08You would have did everything you had to do in the division.
00:30:10But you know what?
00:30:11Tonight, I ain't watching him back tonight.
00:30:15What?
00:30:16He said, like you were there, he's not watching his back, and he walked out on him.
00:30:20And now, Harlem Heat's here, Kevin Sullivan, the Varsity Club, back together again.
00:30:26One of the dominant forces in the 80s to the 90s and now to the new millennium.
00:30:32And talk about the new millennium.
00:30:34Bobby, it's good to see you.
00:30:36Kevin, good to see you back in the ring.
00:30:38Thank you, Bobby.
00:30:39But last night, I witnessed something that was probably the biggest thing I've ever seen
00:30:44in the wrestling industry.
00:30:47Gilbert got screwed to him.
00:30:49Oh, it's unbelievable.
00:30:50It's that simple.
00:30:51And how this has been playing out here tonight, it's incredible.
00:30:55Hold on.
00:30:56Steiner and I went to real schools, not some backwater, stinking university like Maryland.
00:31:04Hey, Buck, where's your girlfriend at, huh?
00:31:19Huh?
00:31:20She come out here and fight your battles for you?
00:31:23The V Club is back in town, so if you want some, come get some.
00:31:29You don't like me!
00:31:31Bite me!
00:31:32Kevin, I gotta say, this cheerleader you have out with you is very provocative.
00:31:39Is that okay to say that?
00:31:41What is her name anyway?
00:31:43That's for us to tell you later, Tony, before the end of the show.
00:31:47And I want you to think what it may be.
00:31:50Oh, I got all kinds of things I can think it may be.
00:31:52Well, Tony, what I was saying was, last night, Goldberg got screwed.
00:31:57But if he wrestled any one of these two gentlemen, he'd be defeated.
00:32:02If you can remember, these are the two probably best technicians of the wrestling business today.
00:32:07And we're getting back to Rob, let me talk about Robby Steiner first.
00:32:12Robby Steiner is probably the toughest guy pound for pound ever in the wrestling business.
00:32:17And you know that.
00:32:18We've seen him.
00:32:19He's a killer, Bobby.
00:32:20No doubt about that.
00:32:21Probably the toughest guy that ever went to Michigan or any college.
00:32:26Well, I saw the Varsity Club last night show their true colors when you, Mike Rotunda, and Rick Steiner turned your back on Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
00:32:35Yeah, what was that about?
00:32:36What was it about was Hacksaw never tagged.
00:32:39He never worked as a team.
00:32:40As you saw, it's true.
00:32:41Yeah, it is true, Tony.
00:32:42And the deal is, these guys work as a team.
00:32:45You know, they work as one unit.
00:32:47Rotunda and Steiner, two of the baddest apples ever to walk down the street.
00:32:51I think this will be a short work tonight.
00:32:54Not taking anything away from Harlem Heat, but they can't compete.
00:32:57Right now, Harlem Heat seems to be on a different track.
00:32:59They're not on track.
00:33:00These guys, Steiner and Rotunda, are definitely working as a team and a unit.
00:33:04I think that Harlem Heat has some real serious problems.
00:33:06And I'll tell you something very important.
00:33:08As I came into the building today, I bet you 10, 12 people came up to me.
00:33:12Hey, Brain, did you hear the Varsity Club's back together again?
00:33:15Everybody was buzzing today about that in the building.
00:33:17And I'm glad to see you guys back.
00:33:19Thank you, Bobby.
00:33:20It's great to be out here with you.
00:33:22Maybe not the other two, but with you.
00:33:24Why do you keep pointing out how great it is to be out here with Heenan?
00:33:27The last time I've seen you today, you got beat up by Jeff Jarrett.
00:33:32And when you were laying down on your back, flopping like a mackerel, making those faces.
00:33:37I enjoyed it too.
00:33:42Sorry, Mike.
00:33:43Why are you laughing all of a sudden, Tony?
00:33:47I just flopped around like a mackerel.
00:33:48It was pretty visual.
00:33:49Anyway, in the ring we go.
00:33:52Booker T with that Harlem sidekick of his.
00:33:55And he nails Mike Rotunda from Syracuse.
00:33:58Of course, the man here with him from Coral Shores University himself.
00:34:01The public kept Sullivan watching on.
00:34:04No questioning the credentials of Mike Rotunda and Rick Steiner in the Harlem Heat are finding out about those credentials up close and personal.
00:34:12We're also trying to get a part of teamwork.
00:34:14Look at how Steiner draws the referee while Rotunda just has his way with Booker T on the floor.
00:34:19Well, who do you know that knows more about tag team wrestling than probably Rick Steiner?
00:34:24Nobody.
00:34:25Mike Rotunda has had been a tag team champion in his career as well.
00:34:29Maybe an Arn Anderson.
00:34:31Kevin Sullivan has been a dominant wrestler.
00:34:33Kevin Sullivan.
00:34:34And I think, I think everybody witnessed last night exactly what you guys were about.
00:34:42And exactly what you guys can do when you tied Asia to the tree of woe last night.
00:34:50Yeah.
00:34:51Hadn't seen that in a long, long time.
00:34:52And it felt good.
00:34:53It really did.
00:34:54But let's look at this action right now.
00:34:56Rotunda, these guys have dominated the number one tag team in the 90s.
00:35:01The Harlem Heat.
00:35:02Let's not take anything away from these guys.
00:35:03These dominated the tag team scene in the 90s.
00:35:06Were they winning 10 times?
00:35:07Yeah.
00:35:08And they're getting bounced around like, like the school kids.
00:35:12To count that time and kicking away Booker T.
00:35:15They have dominated.
00:35:16Yeah, but look who's bounced them around.
00:35:17Rick Steiner and Mike Rotunda.
00:35:19No question that the Harlem Heat have yet to get untracked in this matchup against the returning varsity club.
00:35:28Booker T trying to get back up to his feet.
00:35:31It's important at this point to get Stevie Ray into the match.
00:35:34That is if both members of Harlem Heat are on the same page.
00:35:38I don't think he'll ever get there to make the tag.
00:35:41Watch, watch Steiner.
00:35:42Fantastic.
00:35:43Try to drop kick.
00:35:44Try to drop kick.
00:35:45And Steiner one step ahead.
00:35:46Look towards Stevie Ray.
00:35:47He's cut the ring off.
00:35:48He's cut it in half.
00:35:49That's what tag teams are about.
00:35:50That's why they're working as a unit.
00:35:52That's why I say the Harlem Heat have some real serious problems.
00:35:55They're not paying attention.
00:35:56It's a little distracting having this cheerleader out here, Kevin.
00:36:02I have to tell you.
00:36:03We talked about the credentials of Rotunda and Steiner, but those are some pretty amazing credentials themselves.
00:36:08Let me tell you something.
00:36:09Steiner knows a lot about mathematics.
00:36:12Steiner knows a lot about mathematics.
00:36:14You got that right Tony Schiavone.
00:36:17I got my PhD at Michigan.
00:36:19Mathematics.
00:36:20Two plus two.
00:36:22I know it all.
00:36:23I'm not going to argue with you.
00:36:27I'm not going to test you at all.
00:36:29You can't stop them on the big ones.
00:36:30Here comes this Syracuse idiot.
00:36:32Hang on.
00:36:33This Syracuse idiot.
00:36:34What is this?
00:36:35It's like a revolving door down here all of a sudden.
00:36:37Now we're joined by Mike Rotundo.
00:36:40I know for a fact he failed.
00:36:43I know for a fact that Steiner failed math three times.
00:36:46It's like being in a frat house.
00:36:49You know that?
00:36:50Animal House with Pyro.
00:36:52That's what it is.
00:36:53The brains of the team is back.
00:36:56That's right.
00:36:57That feel good, Kevin?
00:36:58It sure did.
00:36:59It sure did.
00:37:00Don't you like a nice trip to the trio-o?
00:37:03Oh, buddy.
00:37:05Maybe later.
00:37:06What did you say the cheerleader's name was?
00:37:08Yeah, I think you let the cat out of the bag there, didn't you?
00:37:10Lay me out.
00:37:11Lay me out.
00:37:13Lay me out.
00:37:16Okay.
00:37:17Okay by us.
00:37:19Meanwhile, what a move inside by Booker T.
00:37:23Cut off the ring, Mike.
00:37:25All he has to do is keep him in the center of the ring.
00:37:27I like kitties.
00:37:28Keep him in the center of the ring.
00:37:31If you like kitties, what do you mean?
00:37:33Meow.
00:37:34Lay me out.
00:37:35Okay, meow, I get it.
00:37:36Yeah.
00:37:37I feel like missing.
00:37:38Tried to cut him off, and it didn't work.
00:37:40Sullivan dropped the headset.
00:37:42You see the old Taskmaster itself circle the ring.
00:37:48As the Harlem Heat on the attack, Stevie Ray got the tag in.
00:37:51Look at Booker T.
00:37:52He had assaulted on the outside by Sullivan.
00:37:55That's what made the Varsity Club famous.
00:37:57And Sullivan will attack you in the ring, outside the ring, in a restroom, under the ring.
00:38:02He is one tough customer.
00:38:04Booker T gets posted on the left of your screen.
00:38:07Meanwhile, look at the Double Team Rotunda in with Rick Steiner.
00:38:12Rick Steiner.
00:38:13Well, we have so many great tag teams here at WCW.
00:38:16But I don't know.
00:38:17This Varsity Club is going to make a lot of people open their eyes.
00:38:21Open your eyes.
00:38:22Shut up the lights.
00:38:23Hey, stop that.
00:38:24The lights.
00:38:25The bell sounding.
00:38:26That's going to be only one thing.
00:38:27It is midnight.
00:38:28She has arrived again.
00:38:30But this time.
00:38:31This time she's in the face of Stevie Ray.
00:38:33Get out of here.
00:38:34Get out of here.
00:38:35Get out of here.
00:38:36Get out of here.
00:38:37She seems to get along better with Booker T than she does Stevie Ray.
00:38:39I don't think there's any question about that.
00:38:40Get out of here.
00:38:41Get out of here.
00:38:42Get out of here.
00:38:43Get out of here.
00:38:44Get out of here.
00:38:45Get out of here.
00:38:47She seems to get along better with Booker T than she does Stevie Ray.
00:38:49I don't think there's any question about that.
00:38:50Get out of here.
00:38:51And Rotunda takes advantage, throws up Stevie Ray, hand full of tights and he gets the win.
00:38:56better with Booker T than she does Stevie Ray. I don't think there's any question about that.
00:39:02And Rotunda takes advantage, draws up Stevie Ray, hand full of tights and he gets the win.
00:39:08Paying a little too much attention to Midnight.
00:39:14The varsity club will win it. Midnight got in the face of Stevie Ray and now an argument goes
00:39:20on with Booker T and Midnight and Stevie Ray. I believe we have a domestic here.
00:39:24What do we have here? With hubcaps in their hand. Oh, I recognize these guys. I've seen them work in
00:39:33the past as PG-13. That's Wolfie D and JC Ice. They just came out of the crowd.
00:39:41And they're just running over each other to get out of there.
00:39:43Boy, they better keep moving. Feet don't fail me now.
00:39:47They hit the varsity club and then skedaddle.
00:39:54Hey, boys, look at this. Hey, honey, you call that ink? Why don't you come to the lab sometime and
00:40:06sort of let the boys do some real work on it? Oh, we got you. You want to work on me?
00:40:12What are you doing, Joey? Oh, hey, honey, I think you're getting a little over your head.
00:40:15What kind of work you want to do?
00:40:17I think I'm okay. What are you doing?
00:40:19Oh, my God.
00:40:21Hey, you crazy kids!
00:40:27You shouldn't have touched me!
00:40:29No, don't touch me! You made a big mistake!
00:40:30I'm so kind of freak!
00:40:33Hey, what's that? Joey, Joey, Joey!
00:40:35Next Monday, we're in the Astrodome, December 27th, for New Year's Evil.
00:40:41You fans in Houston, tickets to the box office and Ticketmaster.
00:40:45It'll be live, 8 p.m. on E&T.
00:40:50Let's go.
00:40:52I would agree, what's this about, let's go?
00:40:54I'm ready.
00:40:58Need to say something, we saw right before the commercial break.
00:41:01A lady who looked like she needed to be caged like a wild animal, and there she is again.
00:41:08She came in last night.
00:41:10If you saw Starcade, you want to see the encore presentation.
00:41:15I don't know what they're doing out here now.
00:41:17She came in to help out David Flair, and we wondered who she was.
00:41:22But we realized she was the lady that sent an Electro party tape,
00:41:25who was, what, Daphne Unger of Peoria, Illinois.
00:41:28And now she's holding David's hand as she walked out.
00:41:33Looked like she bit the nose of Jerry, only back there on the misfits.
00:41:37After low-shotting him.
00:41:39And Pinter, I don't know why they're in there.
00:41:41Well, look at these two walking together.
00:41:43This looks like the top of a wedding cake from hell.
00:41:45Oh.
00:41:47Oh.
00:41:49What a nut.
00:41:52A tacky defense on David Pinter.
00:41:56God, nobody's safe around here.
00:41:59David and Daphne.
00:42:01Somebody needs to lock them away.
00:42:03Oh, I bet the round of the cross is going up all over the world now.
00:42:06And look at this Daphne putting the boots to a defenseless Pinter.
00:42:13It was hit by a...
00:42:14Vampiro!
00:42:19You put your hands on the woman I love?
00:42:26Come down here so I can whip your ass!
00:42:28I don't think aspirin will work.
00:42:39No, he needs some serious help.
00:42:40Shock treatments.
00:42:41For God's sake, can we get some sort of medical help for David Pinter?
00:42:45He was hit with a crowbar.
00:42:48Pinter's not moving.
00:42:50Hey, slam.
00:42:59Yo, Flair.
00:43:04I don't want no problems with you.
00:43:07Okay?
00:43:08This whole thing's a big misunderstanding.
00:43:13Be careful.
00:43:16Listen.
00:43:18This whole thing's a misunderstanding.
00:43:20That's all it is.
00:43:23So I'm here to say I'm sorry.
00:43:24Wow.
00:43:28I'm really sorry.
00:43:30That you're a psycho freak.
00:43:32And you, you're twice as mental.
00:43:34He's in death.
00:43:37Turn your back on a man with a crowbar.
00:43:44Why would you even try and talk sense to a madman like David Flair?
00:43:49Look at those two.
00:43:49How would you like them for neighbors?
00:43:50Here come the Misfits to try to help out Vampiro.
00:43:55And they're in there with two loonies with a crowbar.
00:44:02This girl's nuts.
00:44:04Look at her.
00:44:05She's loving this.
00:44:08Daphne.
00:44:09What a sweet name.
00:44:15I wonder what she charged at Haunted Small Home.
00:44:20David and Daphne.
00:44:28Not Warden June.
00:44:33They're loving it.
00:44:34They make the pleasure of it.
00:44:40All right, let's go back in to relive moments from the Nuthouse brain once again.
00:44:44See David Flair there.
00:44:45Vampiro took his eyes off him for a minute with that that crazed woman in there.
00:44:50David whacked him on the back of the crowbar.
00:44:53Now she wants a couple of whacks at him.
00:44:54Hits him in the arm.
00:44:56Oh, they're nuts these two.
00:44:57They're made for each other.
00:44:58This is a marriage made in the ring.
00:45:03Natural born lovers.
00:45:05It's a movie, isn't it?
00:45:08Or a killer.
00:45:10David and Daphne together.
00:45:12And believe you me, it's just the beginning of wreaking havoc.
00:45:22Jerry only had his nose almost bit off.
00:45:24And there's going to be a tentative, but he and D is in the back.
00:45:30As this goes on, and they're angry in the back.
00:45:33Let's go to BG.
00:45:34Tony, I thank you very much.
00:45:36Ladies and gentlemen, we have got a guest right now who has ended up 1999
00:45:42as one of the greatest years of his career.
00:45:45Please welcome to Baltimore, Buff Begwell.
00:45:50It's been a little while since we've seen Buff Begwell,
00:45:57but here he comes to talk to me, Gene Okerlund.
00:46:00Do not forget, we are mere moments away from Goldberg and Bret Hart in the battle
00:46:06for the WCW vacated title.
00:46:08It will happen right here in this ring on this program live tonight on TNT.
00:46:14And a reminder that on January 3rd, the first night tour of the year 2000
00:46:19will be in Greenville, South Carolina at the Bylo Center.
00:46:22Tickets to the box office and all credit cards to ETF ticket machines
00:46:26and select Bylo floors in the Greenville area.
00:46:33He makes an entrance.
00:46:34As only Buff can do, Gene, it's all urine.
00:46:37All right, Buff, as we said, you have concluded a banner year just about.
00:46:41It's up. 1999 has been a big one coming through the adversity of neck surgery.
00:46:46Many of the skeptics said your career was all but over and you proved them all wrong.
00:46:51Well, first of all, Mean Gene, what's up, Baltimore?
00:46:55You know, there's not many cities that Baltimore is good to, but I tell you right now,
00:47:05Baltimore has always been good to Buff Daddy and you know Buff Daddy loves Baltimore.
00:47:14You know, Gene, I'm out here tonight because there's just something missing in my career,
00:47:18you know?
00:47:19I mean, everybody out here knows about the injury.
00:47:22Everybody here knows I broke my neck.
00:47:25I had a double neck fusion with two titanium plates screwed in my spine.
00:47:31The fans stood behind me.
00:47:33I made it back from that.
00:47:35I was a four-time world tag team champion with three different partners,
00:47:40which has never been done in the history of wrestling, but there's still something missing.
00:47:48What might that be, Mr. Bagwell?
00:47:50You know, Gene, everywhere I go, I hear,
00:47:54Hey, Buff, don't you got a belt?
00:47:57Hey, Buff, why don't you have any gold?
00:48:00It's just time they put a little gold around Buff Daddy's waist.
00:48:05Well, here's a man that certainly, I think WCW is going to give you the opportunity
00:48:10as we enter a new millennium.
00:48:12And really, I've got to say you deserve it all.
00:48:14Well, I appreciate that, Gene.
00:48:15You know, as good as I do, they've given me the shout here for a long time.
00:48:20They try to keep me down, but Buff Daddy rises to the top.
00:48:23He's going to rise to the top of the millennium.
00:48:26He's going to walk away with some gold.
00:48:28You wait and see, big man.
00:48:29Buff Bagwell, if I can get very, very serious here for just a moment or two.
00:48:34I'm certain a lot of people to this vast audience and those watching television around the world tonight
00:48:39are aware of rumors that are circulating.
00:48:41I hear them back in our locker room.
00:48:44I go to the internet.
00:48:45I read about them online.
00:48:47I've covered it during my exclusive hotline reports.
00:48:50There is a vicious rumor right now about you and one Kimberly Page.
00:48:55You need to address it here tonight.
00:48:57Wow.
00:49:01Wow.
00:49:02Gene's prying into a personal, private situation.
00:49:06Buff Bagwell, if you walk away from me here tonight, you are admitting your guilt.
00:49:12Whoa.
00:49:12You don't go there with me.
00:49:14You know as good as I do, I'm innocent.
00:49:17Everybody knows I'm innocent.
00:49:18That is somebody in Dallas Page's ear talking in his ear.
00:49:22There is nothing but friendship between me and Kimberly.
00:49:25Nothing but friendship.
00:49:27You're just friends.
00:49:29You got some wax in your ear?
00:49:31I've already said it once, big man.
00:49:33I'm telling you, we're just friends, okay?
00:49:36Wait a minute, Buff Bagwell.
00:49:38I'm going to ask the questions here tonight.
00:49:41Tell me, Diamond Dallas Page in Hollywood, California, two months making the movie Ready
00:49:46to Rumble.
00:49:47And during that time, you were reportedly seen time after time with Kimberly Page.
00:49:53Either deny that or tell me you're innocent.
00:49:56Well, Gene, when you look like Buff Daddy, rumors are going to fly.
00:49:59Let's be honest, okay?
00:50:00They have flown for 29 years of my life.
00:50:03But I'm telling you, if you want to go here tonight, we can go there.
00:50:07Is that where you want to go tonight on live TV?
00:50:09You're damn right that's where I want to go.
00:50:11I think you deserve to give people an honest answer.
00:50:13Well, as long as we're going to go there, have you got a good look at Kimberly?
00:50:17She's about a 10 on my scale.
00:50:19I think she's a knockout.
00:50:20If you really want to go here, and if Baltimore wants me to go there,
00:50:27well, Buff Daddy will go there, okay?
00:50:29I want to know if you've been there.
00:50:32If Diamond Dallas Page was not married to Kimberly,
00:50:35I'm telling you, Buff would put his stuff all over her.
00:50:41Wow.
00:50:43Wow.
00:50:48Now I don't know where to go.
00:50:50Well, let me go, okay?
00:50:51You've been asking all these questions.
00:50:53You've been grilling me, trying to find out what's going on.
00:50:56So let me ask you a question.
00:50:58Tonight, when you get in the elevator and go up to the concierge level at the Marriott,
00:51:03and you walk into your room, and as you look across your king-sized bed,
00:51:08you see six foot one of 130 pounds of tan skin named Kimberly Pays laying across your bed.
00:51:17Are you going to kick her out of your bed?
00:51:20Oh, wait a minute.
00:51:20I'm a married man.
00:51:22However, if I weren't, I think I'd take a real close look at it.
00:51:26Well, let's just say neither would Buff.
00:51:34Buff, you are incredible.
00:51:36Well, I, we, we, we heard all the, we knew it,
00:51:41but they wanted to bring it up on TV with Gary Pee for you.
00:51:44And we're looking for DDP in the entrance, but he's come on the other side.
00:51:50We heard his music.
00:51:51We looked to the entrance.
00:51:52We knew he would come out sooner or later.
00:51:55He was in that triad match earlier, and he is assaulting, buffed at him.
00:52:00And I think this also explains that attack from a couple of weeks ago,
00:52:04from Diamond Dallas Page to Buck Bagwell on Thunder.
00:52:06Look at these two go at it.
00:52:10Look at this.
00:52:12Look at you, look at this.
00:52:14All over a woman.
00:52:18I mean, why would he, well, you gotta, you gotta give him credit for speaking his mind and being honest.
00:52:24But it's a married man.
00:52:26It's a married woman.
00:52:27And he's so cool.
00:52:28Okruin started it.
00:52:29All right, man, come to us, bro.
00:52:35Yeah, I wish you all, man.
00:52:36You know what?
00:52:36You're a good one, man.
00:52:39Don't you let him get your dollars, huh?
00:52:41Hey, man.
00:52:42You're gentle, man.
00:52:43I appreciate it, man.
00:52:44It's been good seeing you.
00:52:46I wish you didn't have to leave, man.
00:52:47Come on back.
00:52:48Have a good Christmas.
00:52:49God bless you.
00:52:50I gotta get going, man.
00:52:51Come on.
00:52:52See you.
00:52:52Do it, bro.
00:52:53See you again.
00:52:54See you guys.
00:52:57Hey, yo, yo, yo.
00:53:01Hey, guys.
00:53:02Man, yo, Merry Christmas.
00:53:04Merry Christmas.
00:53:04I'm going, you know.
00:53:05I'm going.
00:53:06I'm taking my kids.
00:53:09I just want to tell you one thing, if I can, please.
00:53:12You know, you guys are the best group of athletes in my sport that have ever
00:53:20come along.
00:53:21You know, I rode them roads seven days a week for these promoters.
00:53:28You got room in your navel for two fees in the heart of a promoter.
00:53:32And these riders are going to make you guys a bunch of ponies.
00:53:36You're going to listen to them, man.
00:53:38How are you going to get ahead and become a main eventer if you're just going to be a cloud?
00:53:43You know what's going to happen?
00:53:44Two years, you're going to be furt out.
00:53:46They're going to take you in the back, shoot you in the head, and it's over.
00:53:5130 years.
00:53:52I ain't no genetic freak.
00:53:54How do you think I made it 30 years?
00:53:57Because I got balls, man.
00:53:59I got a family to feed.
00:54:01You know my first two kids?
00:54:03You know, I never see them coming from the walking to the talking.
00:54:07I never seen the first words.
00:54:09The only thing you guys got is your families, man.
00:54:12You let these writers as Vince Russo and all the rest of these guys dictate to you, make you clowns.
00:54:19You are the best.
00:54:22There's never been better athletes than you.
00:54:25I built this.
00:54:26I sacrificed my family.
00:54:29I didn't see my first two kids grow up, man.
00:54:32And when I leave home, my little kid says,
00:54:35daddy, what are you coming home?
00:54:36She cries every time.
00:54:38And I'll tell you, you know what it's about, right?
00:54:44You love your kids, man.
00:54:45And you saved your money.
00:54:47And these writers, don't you trust them?
00:54:49Because you could do one thing that my generation never could do.
00:54:54You could stand up, stick together, form a union, get some pension, get some welfare,
00:55:04get some hospitalization.
00:55:06Make them take care of you.
00:55:07Because without you, they're nothing.
00:55:10They're writers.
00:55:12They're phonies.
00:55:13You're nothing.
00:55:15And Roddy Piper addressed guys in the locker room.
00:55:38Making a stand against the powers that be, as Jeff Jarrett has settled in to watch the monitor.
00:55:44We are set to go.
00:55:46Jeff Jarrett settling in to watch the monitor brings up the question once again.
00:55:50What did the power to be mean when something big was going down here tonight?
00:55:57Jeff Jarrett knew it was going to happen around this time.
00:56:00So he is hooked in to look on.
00:56:02Sid Vicious already said goodbye.
00:56:04He is gone.
00:56:06Piper making his grandstand in the back.
00:56:09And here we go for the vacated WCW title.
00:56:14What an emotional outpouring by Rowdy Roddy Piper.
00:56:16Saying his final goodbyes to everyone here in World Championship Wrestling.
00:56:21We see Jeff Jarrett just sitting back and enjoying himself.
00:56:25Watching this match up on the monitor backstage.
00:56:27Just exactly what the powers that be told him to do.
00:56:30Now Jeff said, I can't believe what I'm hearing.
00:56:32This is going to happen tonight.
00:56:33The PTB said yes.
00:56:35And he didn't know what to say.
00:56:36What an emotional speech by Piper.
00:56:40He gave a tear to my eye.
00:56:42The last time I felt that much emotion was when Richard Nixon said goodbye.
00:56:47Goldberg makes the way to the ring.
00:56:49I want to remind you available on newsstands everywhere today.
00:56:52The new WCW Magazine available right now.
00:56:55Goldberg on the cover.
00:56:56And inside you are going to see a day in the life of Goldberg.
00:57:01Following Goldberg about great pictures and a great story.
00:57:05Available in the latest edition of WCW The Magazine.
00:57:08Goldberg makes the long walk.
00:57:12He is not the champion.
00:57:14You saw the sign from one of the fans that Goldberg got screwed.
00:57:17We now know why.
00:57:19What we don't know.
00:57:20And what has put us on the edge of our seats.
00:57:22Much like it's put Jeff Jarrett.
00:57:24Much like it's put many of you back home.
00:57:27Watching this program is what?
00:57:30The powers that be meant about something big going down.
00:57:34Well, there is the man.
00:57:46We have seen just about, I would venture to say,
00:57:49a little bit of everything tonight.
00:57:50Wouldn't you say, Mike?
00:57:51Sir? It would be very difficult to recap the whole night.
00:57:53But it's been a wild one.
00:57:56It really has been, Tony.
00:57:57A very memorable evening.
00:57:59Right from the start.
00:58:01Kevin Nash coming out in a very serious tone.
00:58:05Talking about what so many wrestlers have fought through the years.
00:58:09And now this, the matchup for the world's heavyweight title.
00:58:12Neither man a champion.
00:58:14Bret the Hitman Hart vacated the belt that he worked so hard to attain.
00:58:18The winner between Bret Hart and Goldberg will be crowned the WCW champion.
00:58:23I still think that was a bad move, Mike.
00:58:25You've got that goal, you're the world's champion, and you give it back.
00:58:28No, you just don't do that.
00:58:30Well, forget about it now, because that's exactly what he's done.
00:58:36And Goldberg and Bret Hart too.
00:58:39Vacated world title.
00:58:40Billy Schultzman, the referee, signed to this one.
00:58:42Well, someone's gonna walk out of here.
00:58:44WCW heavyweight champion.
00:58:47Never before as a wrestler or wrestlers, Tony Nash and Tony Piper made a stand,
00:58:53and been as vocal as they've been tonight.
00:58:55There is no question that under the powers that be,
00:58:57that WCW, the company, has taken a brand new direction.
00:59:02We have lived it, but never more than we have lived it at the end of last night,
00:59:07and what we witnessed here unfold tonight.
00:59:10But what else is there?
00:59:11Is the question as they hook out.
00:59:15Goldberg is just such an imposing physical specimen.
00:59:18Bret Hart hooked up.
00:59:20And don't forget, they know each other a little better tonight than they did last night.
00:59:24I don't think Bret Hart's finding out that hooking up with Goldberg is not a winning proposition.
00:59:29It's not a win, especially after Goldberg, what all went through his mind last night and tonight.
00:59:36You know, this is like a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Goldberg.
00:59:40I mean, to go for the world championship two days in a row.
00:59:46He's lucky.
00:59:46And you can tell by the intensity in Goldberg that he's not only lucky, but he's ready.
00:59:52He's prepared for this matchup against Bret Hart just like he was last night at Starrcade
00:59:57when he got the short end of the stick.
01:00:00Hart firing back on Goldberg, trying to go to the knees.
01:00:02But one punch from Goldberg just doubles Bret Hart over and puts him down to the canvas.
01:00:10Hart now climbs out of the ring trying to slow things down.
01:00:14But Goldberg is right behind him.
01:00:18Get him back in there.
01:00:22Goldberg ducked, and Goldberg got those body blows.
01:00:25Goldberg right now is just dominating Bret Hart, guys.
01:00:29Goldberg's going to win this one, guys. I can smell it.
01:00:31I told you it was something in the air I smelled.
01:00:33And this I smelled, too. Just his demeanor. Just the way he looks. That look in his eye.
01:00:38Bret Hart went to the eyes, and that got the offense going his way here.
01:00:41It gave him an opportunity to nail Goldberg to the side of the head.
01:00:45Goldberg tries to shake this one off.
01:00:49Bret Hart hammers him again to the side of the head.
01:00:54Goldberg just reversed trends on Bret Hart that time,
01:01:00and shot Bret Hart hard to the sinker air.
01:01:02The battle continues out of the arena floor, and
01:01:06refereeing are going to try and get them back into the ring.
01:01:12A little bit of leeway from our official here, recognizing that the world's heavyweight
01:01:16championship is at stake.
01:01:17Well, I think just like the boys, the official here, Billy Silverman assigned,
01:01:21realized what went down last night. He wants to see a clear-cut winner here.
01:01:26We all do.
01:01:27Yes, we do.
01:01:29This could be it, guys. This could be it.
01:01:37Putting down with authority.
01:01:40The angle-lock submission hold is put on, and now,
01:01:43Bret Hart goes to the rope, and the only thing that saved him right there.
01:01:48Ring positioning, very lucky for Bret Hart, able to reach out and grab onto that
01:01:52bottom strand and get the rope break.
01:01:55Last night, at the end of that, was a night that stunned not only the fans,
01:02:00but not only your announced team, but the wrestlers.
01:02:03Never before have the wrestlers, as one, thought, hey, something was wrong.
01:02:10Goldberg was screwed. Why did it happen? And we found out he was to try to mend old wounds
01:02:15from about two years ago, when Bret Hart and Vince Russo were elsewhere.
01:02:21It's come to this. Goldberg trying to fight Bret Hart off.
01:02:24But Bret Hart, seeing right now that he, obviously, in the opening moments here,
01:02:29cannot go toe-to-toe. What is it with the body shots?
01:02:32Starting to work on the legs of Goldberg to get him down here, Mike.
01:02:34I think that's smart strategy on the part of Bret Hart.
01:02:37And think about down the line when he wants to use a submission move on Goldberg.
01:02:42When he wants to work and set up for that patented sharpshooter.
01:02:46Seems to me like those punches aren't doing that much, though.
01:02:48Goldberg's still on his feet. He's still taking everything Hart's given him.
01:02:51And Hart knows it, so what does he do? He goes to the legs.
01:02:55Well, that's what he was doing last night, setting him up for that sharpshooter.
01:02:59Yeah, but it's two-fold here.
01:03:02Setting him up for the sharpshooter and to get him off his feet.
01:03:06With Goldberg standing at you face-to-face going toe-to-toe.
01:03:09I don't think anybody can out-punch him.
01:03:10No.
01:03:12Look at Goldberg. See, he's still standing.
01:03:14So what does he do? He takes control.
01:03:17Back he goes. The referee goes down.
01:03:20And Goldberg goes down. Look.
01:03:24Going for the sharpshooter, but there's no referee.
01:03:29No.
01:03:29No, figure four leg lock applied by Bret the Hitman Hart.
01:03:33How about that one?
01:03:33The referee is out. He's out by the light.
01:03:40No, this is not good for Goldberg. It's not good for the WCW title.
01:03:45What do we have here?
01:03:47Who is that?
01:03:47That's Scott Hall.
01:03:48That's the Outsiders.
01:03:49The Outsiders.
01:03:51And Scott Hall has a baseball bat in his hand. So does Nash.
01:03:55Now, what are they doing here?
01:03:58Both men are tied up in the figure four.
01:04:01They are just sitting down.
01:04:03No, they're beating Goldberg with the bats.
01:04:10Nash is handing a ball back to Bret Hart.
01:04:13What the hell?
01:04:16There's a swerve going on here, guys.
01:04:20No.
01:04:21Of all people.
01:04:22Nash was talking about how Goldberg got screwed.
01:04:26I never thought it would be Bret Hart.
01:04:28I have to understand this.
01:04:32I don't understand what's winning.
01:04:33I don't understand what's going on.
01:04:35Piper's back.
01:04:36When did Piper's come out?
01:04:40And he gets him with a bat.
01:04:45But look at Piper.
01:04:45He's covering Goldberg's body with his own body.
01:04:48He's sacrificing and taking those blows for Goldberg.
01:04:51I think Bret Hart has won the world title.
01:04:57He got the one, two, three.
01:04:58You're right, Tony.
01:04:59And now Jeff Jarrett's in.
01:05:01And Piper keeps going back to protect Goldberg.
01:05:05Oh, no.
01:05:06Good night.
01:05:07Brett is the new champion.
01:05:10That's the ruling from the official.
01:05:11Now what?
01:05:12What is this all about?
01:05:13What is this all about?
01:05:14I think Bret Hart has won the world title.
01:05:16I think Bret Hart has won the world title.
01:05:18He got the one, two, three.
01:05:19You're right, Tony.
01:05:20And now Jeff Jarrett's in.
01:05:22And now Jeff Jarrett's in.
01:05:24And Piper keeps going back to protect Goldberg.
01:05:26And now Jeff Jarrett is the new champion.
01:05:31That's the ruling from the official.
01:05:33Now what?
01:05:34What is this all about?
01:05:40They've all got a can.
01:05:41It looks like paint.
01:05:45Oh, my.
01:05:46There's a couple of cans of paint.
01:05:49Bret Hart stayed in the ring.
01:05:50Piper tried to save him, but it was too late.
01:05:52They were on him both at the same time.
01:05:54Piper made an effort though.
01:05:56He went there, threw his body over Goldberg.
01:05:58I've never seen that before, never.
01:06:03That's silver paint.
01:06:04That's, my God, that's the letters of the NWO.
01:06:07N-W-O.
01:06:13In one moment, one fleeting moment, the balance of this company's children.
01:06:18And guys, I never saw this coming.
01:06:22None of us did.
01:06:23Man, are you kidding?
01:06:25Got him.
01:06:27The N-W-O.
01:06:30With the World Belt.
01:06:32With the U.S. Belt.
01:06:34With the Outsider.
01:06:39This was it.
01:06:40The biggest swerve ever has come down the plank.
01:06:50Watch more, Maryland.
01:06:56The band is back together.
01:06:59I guess they are.
01:07:00I guess they are.
01:07:05And there's the music.
01:07:06Did we ever think we'd see this again?
01:07:08Never.
01:07:10Never.
01:07:10We never saw it coming.
01:07:12And look at Hart.
01:07:14With all this is set up, we've all been kind, guys.
01:07:21Wee.
01:07:27Yes.
01:07:28Yeah.
01:07:29Yes, sir.
01:07:30Yeah.
01:07:30All right, here we go.
01:07:31You've got 20 years to do.
01:07:31Yes.
01:07:32Yes, sir.
01:07:32Yes, sir.
01:07:33The band is back together.
01:07:36The new world order.
01:07:37But people aren't going to like the music they're playing.
01:07:42I can't believe what I'm saying.
01:07:45I'm trying to clear this up on Thursday.
01:07:48Good night.
