00:01We are back, and we are live, and we are ready to go with an eight-man Lucha Libre tag
00:07match here on the Clash of the Champions.
00:10It will bring in Iron Mike today for this matchup, and I want to remind the fans here that this
00:15coming Monday, WCW Monday Nitro on TNT returns to the air, of course.
00:20Two hours live only on TNT will originate from the Carolina Coliseum in Columbia, South Carolina.
00:26For you fans in the state capitol of South Carolina, tickets available at the Capitol Ticket Outlet and the Carolina
00:33Coliseum Box Office.
00:34And then on September 1st, WCW Monday Nitro returns to Pensacola and the Civic Center.
00:41Tickets available at the Civic Center Box Office and Ticketmaster location.
00:44Now, as the Vianos, Psychosis, and Silver King make their way to the ring, and their opponents make their way
00:52to the ring,
00:52here on the Clash of the Champions, Mikey, that's some big news about WCW returning to the entertainment capital of
01:01the world in October.
01:02Huge news, Tony, World Championship Wrestling and Halloween Havoc back for a second year in my hometown, Las Vegas, Nevada.
01:10Circle your calendars.
01:11The date, October the 26th, the MGM Grand Garden Arena, and tickets will go on sale one week from this
01:18Saturday.
01:18That date is August the 30th at the MGM Grand Garden Box Office and all Ticketmaster outlets.
01:24Plus, you have a chance in Vegas to meet Diamond Dallas, Paige, and Kimberly, plus the Macho Man Randy Savage
01:30and Elizabeth on Saturday, August the 30th, 10 a.m. at the MGM Grand Garden Box Office.
01:36The big news back at the MGM Grand Garden Arena for Halloween Havoc.
01:39And do not forget, September 14th is the night for Fall Brawl featuring war games, the ultimate battleground, two rings,
01:48completely closed in a cage.
01:50And there's a lot of times we think you're going to need a cage for a Lucha Libre six-man
01:54match.
01:54What about an eight-man tag here, Mike, today?
01:56Well, the six-man tags, which are the staple and the foundation of Lucha Libre Mexican wrestling, have become so
02:02popular on the WCW broadcast, both on TBS and TNT, that we've just turned it up a notch, and now
02:08it's an eight-man tag.
02:10Lucha Libre rules.
02:11Remember, the referee is going to be a little more lenient in regards to tags.
02:14When your partner goes out to the floor, you can replace him in the ring without a tag.
02:20It is Super Caló and one of the Vianos in the ring.
02:24Viano four, I believe.
02:25Side headlock here by Super Caló.
02:28And that time, Caló hit the ropes with a track one more time.
02:33Viano saw that one come in.
02:35They let that down.
02:36Family is such an important aspect of the Mexican wrestling tradition, and that is certainly reflected in the fact that
02:42six of the eight men involved in this tag are second-generation wrestlers.
02:46Only Super Caló, as we see him going up in the top turnbuckle, and Psychosis did not have fathers in
02:52the business, and Psychosis actually has a brother who wrestled.
02:58You've got to stay a hold of everything at home watching this thing, because it could turn into a real
03:03ruckus.
03:04Over the top now, Caló gets a running lariat by Viano number four.
03:10Lucha Libre rules means you really don't need to make a tag.
03:13If you're on the outside, another man can come in, so we're just going to call it as we see
03:18it.
03:18When there's two other men in the ring, I guess they'll be the leader.
03:21Mike, do they have disqualification rules in this?
03:23Oh, they certainly do.
03:24There are disqualifications.
03:26We saw Silver King get drop-kicked off the ring apron while he was just standing there watching the match.
03:31You know, almost to a man, Mike, and I know you've spent a lot of time in Mexico with these
03:36droplets.
03:36Almost to a man, the disappointment runs very deep with these luchadores about the recent turn of events when it
03:42centers on Thonan in the NWO.
03:44And especially in regards to Ray Mysterio Jr., who was again injured at the recent Road Wild pay-per-view
03:51event.
03:51To give you a quick update on that, it was obvious that Ray went into that matchup not 100%.
03:57And this upcoming week, I believe next Tuesday, he's going to be examined by the famed orthopedic doctor, Dr. James
04:04Andrews of Birmingham, Alabama.
04:05We will update you as soon as we get further info on Ray Mysterio Jr.'s condition.
04:10And look at Hector Garza chipped to his feet in this matchup with Silver King.
04:13Yeah, so quick and fast, these guys, I guarantee you.
04:17Wow.
04:18Look at that Wernerberg.
04:20Got him on the Wernerberg backbreaker, didn't he?
04:22And Hector Garza, brain, I think you would agree, is really on top of his game here tonight.
04:27I've never seen Sky King take a beating like this.
04:29Silver King.
04:30Silver King.
04:31Silver King.
04:33Here is Juventud Guerrero.
04:35Does it matter?
04:36Well, yes, it does.
04:37It matters to Miss King.
04:39It matters to Sky King, I guess it does, and Penny.
04:41I guarantee you, look at this now.
04:44Psychosis gets exchanged on the other side here for the two masked men around.
04:47You're looking at two of the fine luchadors, and certainly both men took contenders to not only the TV title,
04:54but also moving to the Cruiserweight Championship, and that standing sidekick knocked him almost out of his boots that time.
05:00Now, Mickey J is going to have a little trouble in there.
05:02I don't know if any of them speak English.
05:04I don't know if Mickey J speaks Spanish.
05:07Well, you would think they've been wrestling here long enough now.
05:09They should know some English.
05:11And here comes one of the others.
05:13It's the other four back in, and he goes on the outside.
05:17Hector Garza will send him in.
05:18Les Mark Jr. comes in, and both men get taken down.
05:22And now Silver King is in.
05:24Look at this.
05:28Great action from these luchadors.
05:30Back body drop up and over the top.
05:32Now, these two guys are out now, right?
05:34They can be replaced.
05:35Yeah, they can be replaced.
05:36Super Cal O instead catch both Silver King and Viano 4 on the floor.
05:42Here comes Liz Mark.
05:44Suicide dive over the top.
05:45Well, here we go.
05:46Here we go.
05:47Garza now will send Hoobin to...
05:49Oh, my God.
05:51He used Garza's back as a springboard.
05:54That's called Air Hoobie.
05:55I bet it is, and it had a crash landing as well.
05:58There you see bodies everywhere.
06:00Here comes the Suicide dive from Viano 5.
06:03It's like eight cab drivers in Mexico City fighting for a fare.
06:06Garza's headed to the top.
06:08This may be the corkscrew.
06:09That's what it's going to be, I'm sure.
06:11He got him out, too.
06:13Boy, he picked up a spare on that one.
06:15The only one that's not in there is Psychosis,
06:18and Calot's going to join him in the ring.
06:20And now these two men are your legal men with Lucha Libre rules.
06:24And Soniano's going to get involved here.
06:26Holding.
06:28He held his man, and that caused Calot to hit hard on the mat.
06:32He went for the inverted head scissors off the top.
06:34Did not connect.
06:35Oh, but that guillotine leg drop from Psychosis is on target.
06:38One, two, three.
06:39He got him with that one, the big burrito.
06:42The guillotine leg drop from the top,
06:45and I mean it hit pay dirt.
06:47And the winners of the match, Psychosis,
06:50Viano, 4-5, and Silver King.
06:53Oh, Viano, Viano, there we go.
06:55And when the boys were on the floor,
06:56and only two men remained,
06:58Soniano became a factor in the matchup.
07:01What a spectacular eight-man Lucha Libre match
07:05here on the Clash of the Champions,
07:07and we still have more to come.
07:08But right now, we take you back to Mean Gene Okerlund.
