00:00
Off the Inner Harbor here in Baltimore, this is Nitro on TNT Live Coast to Coast.
00:05
You know, there were a few champagne corks poppin' last night after the huge night for World Championship Wrestling.
00:12
New Year's right around the corner, there's gonna be a few more.
00:15
And who can pop them any better than the former 13-time WCW heavyweight champ of the world,
00:24
Ladies and gentlemen, the Nature Boy, Ric Flair!
00:35
Always an ovation for this man in this venue.
00:40
Think about the great wrestling matches, great cards that he's headlined here in the Baltimore Arena.
00:48
Mr. Starcade, it's great to see him back with World Championship Wrestling and here on Nitro.
00:53
Nature Boy, we have a virtual myriad of subjects to cover tonight,
01:02
but the first thing I want to say is welcome back to Baltimore, Maryland.
01:07
Mean! Woo! Gene! We are live and we are red hot in Baltimore tonight!
01:25
Woo! Let me start out by saying, Diamond Dallas Page, you're my kind of man!
01:38
You walked that aisle! You beat Kurt Henning! You took the U.S. title!
01:44
And now, buddy, you can style and profile!
01:49
But Henning, you and I still got a date with destiny.
01:56
Now, me and Gene, I've got to address the biggest night in the history of our sport last night!
02:05
Sting saved! Woo! WCW! Sting did what he said he was gonna do!
02:17
He beat Hogan! You saw it! I saw it! The world saw it!
02:23
And you know what? I've even got to give Bret Hart, brother, as hard as it is to do,
02:31
I've got to give Bret Hart his due for coming down because, pal, you're right!
02:41
You're in the big leagues now, buddy, and you got to walk a tight line! Woo!
02:46
Because you can be out as fast as you got in!
02:50
In the past, he said a few things about you, Ric Flair. You're aware of that.
02:53
Oh, am I aware of it? You know, Hart, and I just can't get off you because, pal,
03:00
you're a big-time wrestler! You're a big-time columnist! Part-time referee!
03:07
But out here, you're talking about wrestling! This guy and that guy! This guy and that guy!
03:13
My name wasn't mentioned! Well, Bret Hart, let me take this opportunity to introduce you
03:23
to the Baltimore Sun! It's a local publication here, very well thought of,
03:30
not only here, but all over the world. A man of my age, Gene, I've got to look at this
03:34
with my glasses on. I know! But, here's to Bret Hart, the columnist of the Calgary Sun!
03:42
Ha! It says, let me see, and they're big-name wrestlers like Hulk Hogan, how about foot-over-shoulder,
03:50
no, no, wait a minute, it says, there's never been a guy, night after night, what a guy,
03:59
to put on the performances he has! And this is Bret Hart's main man. Says editor Dave Melcher
04:11
of the Wrestling Observer, when you factor that in, he is the greatest in the history
04:19
of the sport, without question, the big shiva! Alright, Bret Hart, perhaps back in the locker
04:30
room, listening to all of that, committing to Boy Ric Flair, Tony, all of a sudden, we
04:35
have got a ton to talk about. Wow, does it feel good?
