00:01The action continues here on WCW Monday Nitro Lionheart. Chris Jericho has made his way to the ring and we
00:07are ready to go for the next matchup. Do not forget that he may be injured, but he is certainly,
00:14certainly says he's going to be at Slim Jim's Halloween Havoc. We're talking about Scott Hall and he is still
00:20at ringside.
00:21You know, we saw what happened to Mark Curtis. We remember Scott Hall talked about Ric Flair, Rowdy Piper. Let's
00:28not forget what happened to J.J. Dillon. They are having their way physically with officials, not only wrestlers, but
00:36officials in WCW. I mean, they have no regard, no respect for the authority that we've tried to establish here,
00:42Mike, in World Championship wrestling.
00:44Well, you're right. The NWO has a history of manhandling everyone from referees to front office executives. But in my
00:51mind, no one pushes around the living legend, Larry Zabisco, as we witnessed recently at fall brawl.
00:57Well, you know, Zabisco's got a temper and he'll show it to you real quick.
01:00Well, the one man who is in charge, the interim commissioner, Rowdy Roddy Piper, in a big power slam that
01:07time by Jericho, is going to take matters into his own hands because he'll go into the cage coming up
01:13on the 26th of October with Slim Jim's Halloween Havoc.
01:16And he will face Hollywood Hulk Hogan. And as he said, this will be it. This will be the final
01:21time for me. This will be the time when I end this with Hollywood Hulk Hogan once and for all.
01:27And don't forget this, Tony. He holds two wins over Hogan. Hogan does not want this to happen a third
01:32time.
01:33So you're going to see Hogan. And I've been through matches with him before like this in cage matches.
01:38You're going to see him more prepared and readier than he's ever been in his career. No doubt about that.
01:43There's your right brain. And that's going to make for a great, great, interesting cage match, maybe so, that you
01:50can see only on pay-per-view.
01:52That's Slim Jim's Halloween Havoc fans. We can't wait for that one.
01:56And you know Piper's not going to quit.
01:58And that's what makes it so great. I mean, if you strip it down for what it is, yeah, WCW
02:03against the NWO.
02:04You're seated here. You know, fans, what has happened in this great sport in over a year that Nitro's established
02:11itself as the number one wrestling program in the world.
02:14But it's more than that. It's two of the greatest ever in this final battleground, in this one-on-one
02:21cage match.
02:21Truly the biggest cage match the sport's ever seen.
02:24And you may never see those two in the ring together again fighting each other, let alone in a cage
02:28match.
02:28This is something you do not want to miss.
02:29They may not be able to after that cage match.
02:32No. What do I mean?
02:32Well, remember what Piper promised us last week on Nitro.
02:35We've never seen a cage match between Roddy Piper and Hulk Hogan before.
02:39And according to Piper, we'll never see it again.
02:44Okay. Up on top now is Six, and he is...
02:47Landing flat on his back.
02:48He is on the advantage here, but Jericho, the Lionheart, the man who walked into this summer in to the
02:57Forum,
02:58the Great Western Forum in Los Angeles, and came away with the Cruiserweight title by defeating Six.
03:03He's back on the attack now, getting a second win.
03:06Chris Jericho just back from his 30th tour of Japan, just returning from New Japan Pro Wrestling.
03:13And you're right, he has his mindset on one thing, regaining that Cruiserweight title.
03:18And that resides with Eddie Guerrero right now.
03:21That dropkick, and he almost went headfirst to the safety rail at the feet of Scott Hall.
03:30Oh, Jericho! How about that one?
03:34I'm quite sure if Scott Hall would have been next to Six, Jericho would have taken them both out.
03:38Oh boy, Scott Hall on crutches.
03:44Man, I tell you, I don't know.
03:46I know the man's on crutches, but...
03:49I mean, hit him.
03:50Why not? They'd hit you.
03:52Now, Jericho went to the well apparently one time too often with those high-risk moves.
03:55He hit on the plancha, the cross-body block over the top rope, and then it looked like he was
04:00going to try and attempt a moonsault.
04:02First block by Six, nice back elbows by Jericho, and he may get the chance to hit that moonsault anyway.
04:06Oh, cross-body!
04:08Reverse cross-body on the top, and he got a two, and he almost came away with a win.
04:12He had him hooked too. I thought he was going to get the three.
04:14You know, I really think, after the sightings by Sting, it's not taking anything away from Jericho.
04:18But certainly, the NWO, they're concerned. They may be off a step here.
04:23That combined with the injury to Scott Hall.
04:27Now, the attempt at the Lionheart swing by Jericho.
04:32Only got about four or five revolutions that time, but does nail six with the Lariat.
04:37Certainly gets you dizzy, but, you know, would get both men dizzy.
04:40And there's the lion salt from the middle rope that time.
04:43Jericho certainly wasting a lot of time here.
04:46I guess he feels it's resting with a purpose he's going to try to put on.
04:51Uh-oh.
04:52Lion tamer.
04:52The lion tamer, you're right.
04:54And Scott Hall, we talked about the crutch.
04:58And now the buzz killer's on.
05:00He's got him. He's got him hooked now.
05:02Crossface is locked on. The buzz killer is set.
05:04And again, they continue to push around WCW officials.
05:08They don't care.
05:09Scott Dickinson backed into the corner.
05:10And Scott Dickinson.
05:12Oh.
05:14I mean, believe you me.
05:18And he's in no shape to fight that, man.
05:20He don't want to do that.
05:21No, and this happening to him is probably the best thing that can happen to him.
05:25Because he does not want to get beat up.
05:27But look, the buzz killer is still on.
05:30This could have...
05:31Oh!
05:31Oh!
05:32The legend!
05:33Larry Zabisco has arrived.
05:35And he is pulling the buzz killer.
05:40He got six.
05:42Be careful, Larry.
05:46Uh-oh.
05:48Zabisco.
05:49He just took his watch off.
05:51Oh, and he's imbibing his shirt.
05:53He's going to work.
05:54He's getting ready.
05:56He has work to do.
05:57A lot of work to do.
05:59Larry Zabisco.
06:02Basically a two-on-one.
06:04And Lex Luger has come out.
06:07The total package is here.
06:09And now the sides are more than even.
06:15Well, Zabisco claims that he's going to call it right down the middle at Halloween Havoc.
06:19He's taking the high road.
06:21If he takes shortcuts and cheats as an official, then WCW brings himself down to their level.
06:27How about that?
06:29Zabisco, I believe he will call it down the middle.
06:31But don't step on his toes.
06:34So Zabisco comes out.
06:37Thankfully, pulls the buzz killer away from the face and the neck of Chris Jericho.
06:45In the mat.
06:47When he was outmanned, here comes Lex Luger.
06:49And it's good to see WCW stand up together.
