00:02Approaching the ring, led by his manager, Colonel Jimmy Hart, from Memphis, Tennessee, is playing 248 pounds.
00:14Here is the Intercontinental Champion, the Honkita Man.
00:19Big smile on the face of the Honkita Man. He doesn't even know who his opponent is.
00:24That's right, brother. But he's always confident. You know, he may be one of the greatest Intercontinental Champions.
00:28I tell you, the guy's had that title over two years now, Gorilla Monsoon.
00:33As you know, the man has bought some top people all the way along the line.
00:37I mean, he's confident, brother. I've never seen a man without confidence.
00:41Well, it goes without saying. He's got the Colonel, the Mouth of the South, Jimmy Hart.
00:47I, for one, am certainly anxious to find out who, in fact, is the number one challenger.
00:53Now that Brutus DeMarva Beefcake has been shelved temporarily.
00:57No question about it, but it doesn't look like the Honky Tonk Man.
01:00Nobody sent any word up to us.
01:01Nothing to us, brother. The Honky Tonk Man doesn't care, man.
01:04He doesn't even want to know.
01:06Here it comes. Who is his opponent? Come on, Howard.
01:09Howard doesn't even know.
01:12Howard Finkel, the announcer, doesn't know. Come on, brother.
01:14Let's get it together.
01:16He shook his head.
01:16Get me somebody out here to wrestle. I don't care who it is.
01:19Oh, don't say that, man. Don't say that, my man.
01:24There's some people back there in the locker rooms who would take this man apart.
01:28We're all waiting here with anticipation as to who the opponent will be.
01:39Well, maybe we haven't got an opponent.
01:40Well, maybe we haven't a opponent, but, you know, maybe he's still lacing up his boots.
01:45Who knows, man?
01:45Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
01:47Somebody's music.
01:49That's familiar music, brother.
01:51They've exploded here in the garden.
01:54I don't see anybody yet.
01:56Here is the ultimate warrior.
01:58It's the ultimate warrior.
02:01One man.
02:02Oh, look at him, attack.
02:04This place has gone bananas.
02:07Ultimate warrior, Lord.
02:09I mean, the Gorilla Monsoon.
02:11They're going to take over, man.
02:12That's what you do if you want something.
02:14You don't want to get it, baby.
02:16Ultimate warrior exploding here on the Hockey Talk Man.
02:19Get a pro-fly tackle.
02:20The belt is gone, and it's officially underway.
02:23The warrior doesn't know what to do.
02:24He's so excited.
02:25The title definitely up for grabs here.
02:28Oh, we could get a new champion right now, Gorilla Monsoon.
02:31Right now, brother, if we could get a new champion.
02:32I'm here to tell you.
02:33Rich Flash hooks the leg.
02:35That's it.
02:35He got it.
02:37History has been made here.
02:39Oh, my goodness.
02:40I love it.
02:42I love it.
02:44Look at this place go bananas.
02:46And pneumonia has run wild in Madison Square Garden, my man.
02:50History once again made here in Madison Square Garden.
02:54The winner of this contest.
02:57And ooh.
02:59It's the president of the W.O.
03:02The Ultimate Warrior.
03:07It had to be record-tyed, Gorilla Monsoon.
03:09It had to be record-tyed, brother.
03:11It is unbelievable.
03:13The garden has gone strictly bananas.
03:17History made as part of SummerSlam 88.
03:20A newly crowned Intercontinental Champion.
03:24He went out.
03:24He went out.
03:24The Ultimate Warrior.
03:27Oh, look at him.
03:28Yeah, he went out and crawled himself.
03:29He went out and took the belt, brother.
03:31Let's go back and take a look at the pandemonium that just happened.
03:35A big clothesline.
03:36A big clothesline by the Warrior.
03:38And all the damage is already done.
03:40Here he comes in for a big body on.
03:42A body span right there, brother.
03:43And he's-
03:44What a splash!
03:45Big splash.
03:46Wrapped him up.
03:47Both legs in the air.
03:48No way out, brother.
03:49We got a new champion, my man.
03:52Wow.
03:53Oh, look at the Ultimate Warrior.
