00:00
He is suspicious. I can't wait.
00:02
By looking in his eyes, he means business.
00:05
Now, top of the hour, Typer Goldberg and Hennig.
00:09
Career on the line. Hennig!
00:12
Hennig slammed the door right in the face of Goldberg!
00:15
And Goldberg just, he walked over the door right through the door!
00:18
And the match is starting in the back!
00:21
No matter if Hennig is pinned, it's over!
00:24
But if he can pin Goldberg somehow,
00:27
then Goldberg, he'll get a new contract!
00:29
He is fighting with all he's got!
00:32
He's fighting for his life.
00:34
Goldberg is fighting for his life.
00:36
He's fighting to try to bring his career back.
00:40
Because if he can win this time,
00:42
a big twist from the powers that be.
00:44
Kurt Hennig will be back in the thick of things in WCW.
00:47
Well, knowing the Hennig family like I do,
00:49
he is fighting for his life.
00:51
Wrestling is his life. It was his father's life.
00:53
It's now his life. This is how he lives.
00:56
This is how he feeds his family.
00:58
This is what he does. This is what he loves.
01:00
It's in his blood.
01:01
And it's going to take an awful lot to beat this guy.
01:04
I'm talking about Kurt Hennig.
01:06
And it's going to take an awful lot to beat Goldberg.
01:08
Oh, you are kidding.
01:09
As we know, Goldberg and Sid Vicious
01:12
in an I-Quit match this Sunday
01:15
at Mayhem on pay-per-view in Toronto
01:18
in his only match six days away.
01:23
And the fight goes on in the back.
01:25
It hasn't even come to a break.
01:27
Mickey J, the referee, standing there
01:29
watching what's going on in the back.
01:31
This is not part of the match.
01:32
The bell hasn't sounded.
01:34
But Hennig, I think, is doing the right thing.
01:37
He's doing what he has to.
01:39
This is what is called survival, Tony.
01:41
The cameraman's a little bit too close to that action.
01:44
When Kurt Hennig and Goldberg are going at it like that,
01:47
just shoot what you can and stay close.
01:50
Now they're coming towards,
01:52
I believe they've made it into the arena here
01:55
from the curtain area in the back.
01:57
Now the bell sounds.
01:59
Mickey J called for it, and they're out here.
02:02
This is what it's like to fight for your existence
02:06
in WCW.
02:09
And think about the waves
02:13
that the powers that be have made,
02:15
the things that they have done.
02:17
Kurt Hennig has been right on the front line
02:19
with his career on Jeopardy,
02:21
on the ride into every night
02:23
he performs on this program,
02:25
on Thunder, on WCW Saturday night.
02:28
And now this has to be the ultimate obstacle
02:31
for Kurt Hennig's entire career, Brad.
02:34
Well, I tell you, you have a massive guy like Goldberg
02:37
who I call the man,
02:39
and we all know what he's capable of doing.
02:41
But this man, like I said, Kurt Hennig,
02:43
he's the man.
02:45
But this man, like I said, Kurt Hennig,
02:47
he is fighting for his very existence
02:49
in this business.
02:51
Back in October, Halloween heavy,
02:53
Goldberg fought a man who would not give up at all,
02:56
who kept coming and coming and coming,
02:58
that man Sid Vicious.
03:00
Well, much the same way tonight,
03:02
a man who's fighting for a much different motive
03:04
than Kurt Hennig.
03:06
Now remember, Sid Vicious
03:08
had a very jacked-up, big, sexy Kevin Nash
03:11
later on tonight on this program.
03:14
It's only gonna get better.
03:17
Kimberlin against Asia,
03:19
and who's the referee gonna be?
03:20
We don't know that yet.
03:21
I have no idea.
03:22
On this program.
03:23
And how about Dr. Def Steve Williams
03:24
out here with, uh...
03:25
Mr. Oklahoma over here.
03:27
Will that take us back or what?
03:29
That betrayals to you.
03:31
Yeah, he better run back for his cause,
03:33
his women's unit, whatever,
03:34
because there's a lot of guys
03:36
who want to beat that guy with a baseball bat.
03:37
Or his puck board.
03:40
As they finally get to the ring,
03:42
this is not a match.
03:44
This is a match,
03:46
this is a fight for survival.
03:48
You're right, this is no match.
03:54
And Hennig is hitting with literally everything.
03:56
But look at Goldberg as he gets stomped on,
03:59
as he gets pounded,
04:01
pulls himself back up,
04:02
grabbing onto Hennig.
04:03
Hennig helps him up,
04:04
just to open up that ample chest
04:06
to kick him back down again.
04:08
But you have to understand something
04:09
about Curt Hennig.
04:10
He's a veteran.
04:11
He's been to the war.
04:12
He knows what it's all about.
04:14
He's second generation.
04:15
Larry the Axe is his father,
04:17
and he knows what to do to survive.
04:19
He has to do this.
04:20
He has to fight tougher
04:22
than he's ever fought before in his life.
04:24
I don't think there's any question
04:25
that he has all the ability in the world,
04:27
but never will fall.
04:28
It is a lustrous commercial
04:30
to put it to this use,
04:31
as he had to, Roy,
04:32
do in a great attack.
04:35
And he's worked on the knee of Goldberg
04:37
and Goldberg seems to be hurting him.
04:39
Well, like I said, he's a veteran.
04:41
He's no slouch, Curt Hennig.
04:43
He's no pushover.
04:45
He's one of the top five men in this industry.
04:49
And Goldberg knows it right now.
04:53
Never before have we seen
04:55
Curt Hennig this fired up.
04:56
Never before have we seen
04:57
Curt Hennig with this intensity.
04:59
Never before have we seen
05:00
anyone put a hold on Goldberg like that.
05:03
A sufficient tight hold.
05:06
And grind it in.
05:07
Goldberg's in a tough spot here.
05:09
Hennig!
05:10
Like I said before, Tony,
05:11
this is livelihood.
05:12
This is life he's fighting for.
05:14
What does somebody want to use, John?
05:16
You've got that cowboy hat
05:17
or you've got that guy?
05:18
If you have to, wouldn't you?
05:20
John, right.
05:24
And now, as the fans try to get Goldberg motivated,
05:27
getting pumped up,
05:28
Hennig will have that up.
05:29
Good wide vertical base.
05:31
Curt Hennig!
05:33
Oh!
05:34
A little bit too close to that hard right hand.
05:36
Right to the choppers.
05:39
But Hennig circles around
05:40
and goes back to the attack once again.
05:42
I have never seen anyone, anyone,
05:45
take the fight to Goldberg like this.
05:47
And I know
05:48
the upcoming IWGP match
05:50
with Sid Vicious
05:51
this Sunday at Mayhem.
05:53
And we think back about
05:54
at Halloween Havoc
05:56
how vicious kept coming back and coming back.
05:59
But Goldberg had the upper advantage
06:00
and I would dare say
06:02
that Hennig has had the upper advantage
06:04
throughout this match
06:05
which is unprecedented
06:06
against a guy like Bill Goldberg.
06:08
You're right.
06:09
He's taken two and he slapped him in the face.
06:11
But Goldberg's come alive now.
06:13
He woke him up.
06:15
You don't want to wake him up.
06:18
Goldberg
06:20
with a cross-legged workaround.
06:22
Oh, no.
06:23
Oh, no.
06:24
Hennig gave up.
06:26
He gave up.
06:27
Submission hold and he quit.
06:29
He quit on Goldberg
06:31
but he did not bring
06:33
let's call it for what we know
06:35
he did not get his shoulders pinned.
06:38
Oh, he didn't pin his shoulders the right time.
06:40
He gave up.
06:42
He had to
06:43
and he gave up quick.
06:45
I just got to show you
06:46
how deadly
06:47
that submission
06:48
hold by Goldberg is.
06:50
He showed you how deadly Goldberg is.
06:54
Jack Hammer wiped him out.
06:57
Look at
06:58
now stop it.
07:01
Hennig gave up
07:03
but Hennig did not get pinned.
07:08
Oh.
07:09
What a moment.
