Transcript

00:00Our very first look at the World Six-Man Tag Team Champions, the Z-Man, Dustin Rhodes, and Big Josh,

00:04who will be severely tested by the York Foundation.

00:07Title change, maybe?

00:09Plus, Gordon Soley up and at him early for the second week in a row in the Halloween Havoc Control Center,

00:13and Missy Hyatt will do the mail on the Power Hour.

00:30Ladies and gentlemen, the following Tag Team event, it is set for one fall.

00:51Introducing first, from the WCW Special Forces,

00:56is the champion, Firebreaker Chip, the Patriots.

01:04Their opponents, total combined weight, 473 pounds, from Lansing, Kansas, Sam Cody.

01:12From Atlantic Beach, North Carolina, Snake Watson.

01:17What a way to start out your morning, huh?

01:20Yosemite, Sam Cody, and his partner, Snake Watson,

01:24to take on the United States Tag Team Champions, the Patriots.

01:28Hello again, everyone.

01:29Jim Ross and Paulie Danielson with you here this morning on TBS.

01:33Thanks for being with us here on the Power Hour.

01:36Oh, you're welcome.

01:37Not you. You get paid for being here.

01:38And very well, thank you.

01:40But we are kicking off a really outstanding wrestling weekend here on TBS.

01:50Throughout the program, we'll not only be talking about the big event coming to Atlanta's Omni,

01:55on Saturday night, October the 12th,

01:57we'll also talk about tonight's broadcast on TBS,

02:01and tomorrow night's big main event program.

02:03Great crowd on hand.

02:08Beautiful weekend.

02:11So we really are excited about this program as the Patriots.

02:19They look very, very good in recent weeks.

02:21Young, enthusiastic team.

02:25Certainly not as good as they will be.

02:29Great potential here.

02:30Well, both these guys are in their early 20s,

02:32so here they are now, the United States Tag Team Champions,

02:36and there's nowhere to go but up.

02:37And here you see Storm and Norman in the windbreaker utilizing a quick tag.

02:44Both these men have expressed an interest

02:50in Stunning Steve's World Television Championship

02:53as Sam Cody comes in

02:56and goes down just as quickly.

03:00And from what I understand,

03:01these two guys are training each other to go against Stunning Steve

03:04because they don't look at it as breaking away from the tag team.

03:08They look at it as an addition to the trophy case

03:10for the WCW Patriots.

03:12I-impact move there by Firebreaker Chip.

03:18These guys,

03:19very aggressive in their ring

03:23style and technique,

03:28but they've also, as we said,

03:29very aggressive in pursuing championships.

03:32Big power elbow there.

03:34And Yosemite Sam,

03:37that's all, folks.

03:40Ladies and gentlemen,

03:41here are your winners,

03:42Todd Champion,

03:43Firebreaker Chip,

03:45the Patriots!

03:47Our top ten is coming your way in a few moments.

03:50We'll also see the man that would like to be the role model of the youngsters,

03:54the Diamond Stud.

03:54Oh, that's still to come.

03:56And here they are,

03:56the role models for the youngsters

03:58who the Diamond Stud wants to replace the U.S. Tag Team Champions.

04:01These guys spend a lot of time at Children's Hospitals.

04:04Watch this beautiful back elbow right into the bush for Yosemite Sam Hay.

04:08That's going to bust up this pretty face,

04:10and I'm personally against it.

04:11One, two, three for the Patriots.

04:13Here's this week's top ten.

04:19Here's a look, fans,

04:20at the latest WCW top ten rankings

04:23as compiled by promoters and members

04:25of the WCW board of directors

04:27for the weekend of September 28th.

04:31The number ten man this week

04:32dropping one spot from last week

04:34from Macon, Georgia, Johnny B. Bad.

04:36Down one spot this week

04:37in the number nine spot,

04:38the Rapmaster PNU's

04:40moving rapidly up in the top ten rankings

04:43up two spots

04:43at number eight,

04:45Cactus Jack.

04:46The number seven man

04:47remains the one-man gang this week.

04:49Also remaining at the number six spot this week,

04:52the natural Dustin Rhodes.

04:53In at number five,

04:54once again this week,

04:55the world television champion,

04:56stunning Steve Austin.

04:58He's preceded by the number four man,

05:00seven-foot-seven-inch,

05:01Aligante.

05:02Barry Windham checks in at number three,

05:04once again this week,

05:05the number two man,

05:06former All-American Ron Simmons,

05:08the number one ranked contender,

05:09the U.S. heavyweight champion Stang,

05:11and the world heavyweight champion

05:13is the total package Lex Luger.

05:15And that's a look at this week's top ten.

05:22Ladies and gentlemen,

05:23the following contest,

05:25it is set for one fall.

05:27Introducing first,

05:28from the Diamond Mine,

05:30weighing 298 pounds,

05:34I'm the fan guy!

05:35I'm the fan guy!

05:36I'm the fan guy!

05:37We remind our fans that we will return to center stage

05:40in Atlanta on Monday,

05:42October 7th.

05:43Chris Wilson.

05:45Monday, October 7th,

05:46back at center stage.

05:56Everybody listen to me!

05:58All you little kids out there,

06:04take a good look at the stud,

06:07because I'm your role model!

06:11All you moms and dads,

06:13tell them!

06:15You know what time it is!

06:17You know what time it is!

06:18You know what time it is!

06:19It's stud time!

06:23About 9.20, 9.15.

06:25Now, I'd say it's time to realize

06:29that the Patriots can go

06:30to all the children's hospitals

06:32and all the charity benefits

06:34that they want to go to,

06:35but this is a true role model

06:38for the youth of America today.

06:42Well, I'm sure very few will agree with that.

06:456'7",

06:46298 pounds of pure meanness,

06:50and look at this!

06:52Wham!

06:52Spiked them like a football!

06:55I'd think of a lot better role models

06:57than WCW,

07:00but I'd certainly want my kids

07:01to look up to other than this guy.

07:08Very physically impressive.

07:13Falling away there with Chris Wilson.

07:17And I think it's time

07:18for the Diamond Death Drop already.

07:20Diamond stud really was a challenge

07:27in this one.

07:31Great potential.

07:32High-impact move there.

07:35And they just don't get up from that one.

07:37Here is your winner,

07:43the Diamond stud!

07:46We want to remind our fans

07:47in the Atlanta area,

07:48Saturday night, October 12th,

07:49in the Omnic,

07:50the first 2,000 kids

07:52will get their picture taken

07:53absolutely free

07:54with a WCW star.

07:57And wouldn't you want

07:58your picture taken

07:59with a true role model,

08:01the Diamond stud?

08:01Now look at this.

08:02He makes sure that

08:03the shoulder blades

08:04are protruding.

08:05He drives you down

08:06into the mat

08:07at the tremendous shock

08:08to the system.

08:09It's a 1-2-3

08:10for the Diamond stud.

08:12He'll be in the Omni

08:13Saturday, October 12th,

08:14but before then,

08:15Monday, October 7th,

08:17at the newly renovated

08:18center stage in Atlanta.

08:20Still more action to come

08:21on the Power Hour.

08:22Welcome back, everyone,

08:41to TBS in the Power Hour.

08:42Jim Ross and Polly Dangerously

08:43back with you.

08:44In just a few moments,

08:44we'll be traveling to the ring

08:46to see the strongest human being

08:48in the world

08:48in one-on-one competition.

08:50We're talking, of course,

08:51about Bill Kazmaier.

08:53Now, if you're with us here

08:54on TBS at the Clash of Champions,

08:55you know that Bill Kazmaier

08:56sustained some very serious

08:58rib injuries

08:59at the Clash of Champions.

09:01He'll have those ribs

09:02heavily taped this morning.

09:03See, I gotta give

09:04Bill Kazmaier credit.

09:05He is the strongest man

09:06in the world.

09:06He holds 37 world

09:08powerlifting records.

09:09It's in the Guinness

09:10Book of World Records.

09:11But with all his friends,

09:12with Sting,

09:13with Steiner,

09:15with the Z-Men,

09:15all on his side,

09:16the guy has busted ribs.

09:18And no matter how strong

09:19you are,

09:19no matter how powerful

09:20you are,

09:21if you're an athlete

09:22and your ribs are broken,

09:24you, my friend,

09:25are in a very vulnerable position.

09:27Indeed, he is

09:27in a vulnerable position.

09:28Perhaps he shouldn't

09:29even be wrestling here

09:30this morning on TBS.

09:31But be that as it may,

09:33we're going to the ring now

09:34to see Bill Kazmaier,

09:35the world's strongest

09:36human being,

09:37in action.

09:40Wrestling fans,

09:41the following contest,

09:43it is it for one call.

09:44Introducing first,

09:46from Auburn, Alabama,

09:48weighing 334 pounds,

09:52the world's strongest

09:53human being,

09:55Bill Kazmaier.

09:59His opponent from

10:01Knoxville, Tennessee,

10:02231 pounds,

10:05Joe Kazana.

10:07Fans, don't forget

10:08to join us tonight

10:09on WCW 605.

10:11Starting time,

10:12as usual.

10:13Brian Bryan

10:14to take on Thomas Rich

10:15of the York Foundation.

10:16And listen to this.

10:18Beautiful Bobby Eaton

10:19will go one-on-one

10:20with Abdullah the Butcher.

10:22That and much more

10:23tonight

10:23on WCW

10:25at 605.

10:27Fireman carry takeover

10:28by Bill Kazmaier.

10:30And as we mentioned,

10:31those ribs are heavily taped.

10:34Drop toehold.

10:36And look at that huge arm

10:38around the head

10:38of Joe Kazana.

10:39Yeah, but not even

10:40that huge arm

10:41can save him.

10:42You know,

10:43here's an athlete

10:44that is actually entering

10:46a wrestling contest

10:47with broken ribs.

10:48If somebody takes

10:49advantage of that,

10:50it could puncture a lung.

10:52This guy is putting himself

10:54in a very precarious situation

10:56and I can't understand why.

10:58He can overcome

10:59his obvious lack

11:00of wrestling skill

11:01with his tremendous power.

11:03He is a

11:04turn a simple move

11:07like a headlock

11:07or a bear hub

11:08into something

11:10almost a breathtaking.

11:16Kazana elevated there

11:18and you can see Kazmaier

11:19feeling the hurt

11:22in his ribs.

11:24I think he made

11:25a big mistake

11:26agreeing to wrestle

11:27this morning.

11:27Like I said,

11:29there's not an athlete

11:30out there

11:30that doesn't realize

11:31that broken ribs

11:32can lead to a punctured lung

11:33and just look at

11:34the effort now

11:35it takes for him

11:36to accomplish this

11:37which he usually

11:37can do

11:38with only one hand.

11:39a 661 pound

11:41a 661 pound

11:43legitimate bench press

11:45and that power slam

11:47ladies and gentlemen

11:48here's your winner

11:49the world's strongest

11:51human being

11:52Bill Kazmaier

11:54there's Cactus Jack

11:55Cactus Jack

11:56Cactus Jack

11:56Cactus Jack hits the ring

11:58and nails Kazmaier

11:59in those broken ribs

12:01and look at Cactus

12:02kicking away

12:03at Kazmaier

12:04now what has provoked

12:06Cactus Jack

12:07to attack Bill Kazmaier

12:09is beyond me

12:10here comes Sting

12:12checking the condition

12:20of Kazmaier

12:21well he better be

12:22very concerned

12:23because that's a

12:24career threatening injury

12:26fans will be back

12:28welcome to the

12:51Halloween Havoc Control Center

12:53I'm Gordon Soley

12:54Halloween Havoc this year

12:55will be held

12:56on October 27th

12:58exclusively on

12:59pay-per-view

12:59I suggest you call

13:01your cable operator now

13:02and place your order

13:04because the main event

13:05that night will be

13:06a world heavyweight

13:07championship match

13:08pitting the WCW champion

13:10the total package

13:11Lex Luger

13:12against three times

13:14all-American

13:14Ron Simmons

13:16but this match

13:17will be indeed

13:18two out of three falls

13:20we'll get back to that

13:21in just a moment

13:22but right now

13:22let me tell you

13:23about another

13:24extremely important match

13:25the first of its kind

13:26in the history

13:27of professional wrestling

13:28a chamber of horrors match

13:30eight men in a steel cage

13:33actually it's a cage of horrors

13:35we'll explain that to you

13:36in just a moment as well

13:37first of all

13:38let's take a look

13:39at the two teams

13:40on one side

13:41you have Rick and Scott Steiner

13:42Eligate and Sting

13:44on the other side

13:45Oz

13:45the one man gang

13:46the diamond stud

13:47and Barry Windham

13:49now let's go over the rules

13:51there will be two teams

13:53of four men

13:53a total of eight men

13:54that will enter

13:55the chamber of horrors

13:56within the chamber of horrors

13:57there will be assorted

13:58instruments of torture

14:00which can be used

14:01to prevent any opponent

14:02from leaving the ring

14:04now to win

14:05a team must escape

14:06from the chamber of horrors

14:07before the time limit expires

14:09and must prevent

14:10the other team

14:11from escaping

14:12when the time limit expires

14:14any remaining individuals

14:16will face the consequences

14:17of the chamber of horrors

14:20I must admit

14:21that the placement

14:23of Barry Windham

14:24on that team

14:25frankly finds me

14:27rather perplexed

14:28Barry Windham of late

14:29has become sort of

14:30the golden boy

14:31of professional wrestling

14:32and suddenly we find him

14:34pitched into this

14:35very very uncomfortable

14:36situation

14:37we'll have more on that

14:39next week

14:39now let's talk about

14:41some of the other

14:41great matches

14:42that will take place

14:43the light heavyweight

14:44championship will be decided

14:45as Brian Pillman

14:46takes on Richard Morton

14:48and then a most unusual match

14:50as the

14:51what I would have to consider

14:52the psychotic

14:53Cactus Jack

14:54takes on

14:55the unquestioned

14:56world's strongest man

14:58in Bill Kazmaier

14:59and of course

15:01the main event

15:02two out of three falls

15:03the world heavyweight

15:04championship

15:05on the line

15:06Ron Simmons

15:06against the total package

15:08I can assure you

15:09the total package

15:10is not taking this match

15:12lightly

15:12we're going to go now

15:13to a workout session

15:14with this tremendous

15:16specimen of a human being

15:17Lex Luger

15:18talk to you

15:30and

15:32we'll see you next time

15:33after

15:34Well, there's certainly no question about it

15:51that Lex Luger's going to go in

15:53in the peak of physical condition

15:54as we've just witnessed.

15:56However, a sidebar if you please,

15:58this match will be two out of three falls.

16:01This means the cardiovascular system

16:03and the aerobic systems, if you will,

16:06have to be in top-notch condition.

16:08I can't help but feel that this might give

16:10Ron Simmons a slight edge in this match.

16:13Remember, it will be two out of three falls

16:15exclusively on pay-per-view as these two collide.

16:30Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest

18:13And Paul E's going to be talking

18:14in the danger zone tomorrow

18:15with Bill Kazmaier,

18:17who just met some misfortune

18:18a little bit earlier in the program

18:19at the hands of Cactus Jack.

18:21Hey, can you imagine

18:22if I'm standing there with Kazmaier

18:23and I reach over

18:24and I slap him in the ribs

18:25and go,

18:25hey, how you going, Big Bill?

18:27Yeah, I can imagine.

18:29Yeah, I can't.

18:30Can you imagine messing with him?

18:32No, I can't.

18:33That'd be suicidal.

18:33Strongest man in the world.

18:35He could hurt you shaking your hand.

18:38Well, I won't shake his hand.

18:40Dustin Rhodes opening up

18:42with a flurry here.

18:45Yeah, but each and every one

18:47of those crunch misses

18:48were illegal.

18:50This kid has a temper

18:52just like his daddy's,

18:53and he better cool down right now

18:56against the York Foundation

18:57because they'll utilize

18:58that computer game plan

19:00and take those six-man

19:01tag team titles home.

19:04A lot of speculation

19:05as to the status

19:06of Dusty Rhodes.

19:08Is he retired?

19:09Is he just resting?

19:11Oh, please.

19:11Is he waiting for the opportunity

19:12to get back in the ring

19:13and don the tights

19:14and start wrestling again?

19:16We may have an indication

19:17to his plans

19:19on Saturday night,

19:20October 12th,

19:21on the Omni

19:21because he,

19:23the American dream,

19:24will referee

19:24a special tag team event

19:27involving Lex Luger,

19:30Mr. Hughes

19:30against Barry Windham

19:31and Ron Simmons.

19:32And now we get an opportunity

19:33to see the Z-Man.

19:34Oh, yeah, big move.

19:37Drop kick on Taylor.

19:39And another one.

19:41Six-man tag team champion.

19:43Really came here

19:44to fight this morning

19:45on TBS.

19:46I'm interested to see

19:47if the Z-Man

19:47tries to use

19:48any of those

19:48high-risk maneuvers

19:49that he's so famous for

19:51because with that neck injury,

19:53he shouldn't be taking

19:54any risks right now.

19:55Well, he's wrestling

19:56a very limited schedule.

19:58As many of the fans know,

20:00the bulk of his time

20:01has been spent

20:02in preparing

20:05to referee some contests.

20:09But the contest

20:10that he needs to worry about

20:11is the one involving

20:12Lex Luger and Mr. Hughes,

20:14whom we will see

20:15in this program

20:16against Barry Windham

20:17and Ron Simmons.

20:18And now this ought

20:19to be interesting.

20:20Big Josh against Tommy Rich.

20:22It was Thomas Rich

20:23who brought Big Josh

20:24into WCW.

20:29Now these guys are friends.

20:35And Big Josh

20:37making Tommy

20:39do a little Tennessee

20:40two-step there.

20:42I don't understand

20:43why Big Josh

20:44is manhandling

20:45his buddy this way.

20:47Tremendous clothesline.

20:49It was illegal.

20:50In what way?

20:51His fists were clenched

20:52when he threw it.

20:53Yeah, right.

20:54You know a lot

20:55about a referee.

20:56I'm sure you've

20:57refereed many, many matches.

20:59Have you?

21:00Yes.

21:01And how good

21:02were you at it?

21:04I was all right.

21:05Adequate.

21:07You were adequate.

21:08Well, you had to quit

21:08because you couldn't

21:09make a living as one

21:10because you weren't

21:11one of the best

21:11and you had to make

21:12a living as a wrestling

21:13announcer.

21:13That's a real good

21:14analogy, Paul.

21:15It shows your shallow

21:17intelligence.

21:20Well, I tell you what,

21:21this log roll

21:22runs pretty deep.

21:24Big Josh

21:25is really excited

21:27about the opportunity

21:28to wrestle

21:28Stunning Steam

21:29here on TBS tomorrow

21:31for the television

21:32championship.

21:32really pumped up

21:34here this morning

21:35as well.

21:38Looks like he's

21:39chopping down

21:39these trees

21:40with a chainsaw

21:41and right now

21:42look at this

21:42tremendous mind

21:43bruster

21:43on to Terrence Taylor

21:44who's in the wrong

21:46corner.

21:48Big Josh

21:49tagged Dustin Rhodes

21:51in.

21:51Well, the crowd

21:52here is a really

21:53enthusiastic crowd

21:54much like it'll be

21:55tomorrow at Atlanta

21:56Fulton County Stadium

21:57when the New Orleans

21:598s come to town

22:00to take on the

22:01home team

22:02Atlanta Falcons

22:03and Dustin

22:05just got nailed

22:05from behind

22:06by Thomas Ridge.

22:07The head's

22:07driven up to his jaw

22:09and here comes

22:10Richard Morton.

22:13The natural

22:14being treated

22:15very

22:16impolitely

22:17shall we say

22:18here this great

22:19Saturday morning.

22:23Good suplex.

22:25Richard Morton

22:26who will wrestle

22:29at Halloween Havoc

22:30for the first

22:31WCW Light

22:32Heavyweight Championship

22:33maybe because

22:35tonight Flyin' Bryant

22:36might get injured

22:37by Thomas Ridge.

22:39From what I understand

22:40Thomas Ridge

22:40and Miss York

22:41have come up

22:41with a tremendous

22:42game plan.

22:43They've utilized

22:44what the computer

22:45has given to them

22:46and tonight

22:47on World Championship

22:48Wrestling right here

22:49on TBS

22:50Eastern Time

22:51Brian Pillman's

22:52in the worst

22:53predicament of his career

22:54because Thomas Ridge

22:55is coming for him.

23:02Oh there's the bulldog

23:04on Terrence Taylor.

23:06Taylor in a

23:07bad bad way

23:08but so is Dustin Rhodes

23:10and referee

23:11Mike Atkins

23:12will exercise

23:14a count of ten.

23:16And the first man

23:17to make the tag here

23:18could conceivably

23:19be on the winning team.

23:20Very competitive.

23:24York Foundation

23:24looking very good

23:25but

23:26it was Big Josh

23:28who got the tag.

23:30Unfortunately

23:30for Taylor

23:31he was unable

23:32to get the tag.

23:34High elevation

23:35there

23:36and Terrence Taylor

23:37being punished

23:39by Big Josh.

23:41And Taylor

23:42is in big

23:42big trouble here.

23:44The York Foundation

23:44needs to get back

23:45to the computer

23:46or it's all over.

23:49He's going for it.

23:54He's got a cam

23:56off

23:56for the computer.

23:58They got the computer

23:59and the referee saw it.

24:01We're going to have

24:02a disqualification.

24:05York Foundation

24:06now dominating

24:07the six-man

24:08tag team champions.

24:10The York Foundation

24:11showing that

24:12they mean business.

24:14You could be seeing

24:16the next

24:16six-man champions

24:18right here

24:18in the York Foundation

24:19but now all six

24:20back in the ring.

24:27The champions

24:28retain the titles.

24:29They win it

24:30by disqualification.

24:31The winners of the match

24:32as a result

24:33of a disqualification

24:34win the Z-man.

24:36Big Josh

24:37and the natural

24:38Dustin Roos.

24:43Well, this situation

24:44between these six guys

24:45is far, far from over.

24:47Oh, no doubt about it.

24:48Big Josh,

24:49full out of steam.

24:49Here comes a big butt drop.

24:51Wham!

24:52And it'd be all over

24:52for Terrence Taylor.

24:54But there's Richard Morton

24:55in with the computer

24:56to the back of the head.

24:57An automatic disqualification.

24:59This dispute

24:59is far, far from over.

25:02Welcome back to TBS.

25:17I'm Missy Hyatt

25:18and this is

25:18Missy Does the Mail.

25:19Recently,

25:20the Z-man

25:21had an altercation

25:22with the world

25:23heavyweight champion

25:24Lex Luger.

25:25Now, the Z-man

25:26is an okay-looking guy

25:27but he's not that smart.

25:29He should have never

25:29insulted the total package.

25:31Let's take a look

25:32at what he has.

25:32...accompanied

25:33by the former

25:34heavyweight champion

25:35of the world,

25:37Harley Race.

25:38He weighs 375 pounds

25:43and is the personal bodyguard

25:46to the world heavyweight champion,

25:50Mr. Hughes.

25:52Let me tell you something,

26:00Tom Zink.

26:02When you came out

26:04on television

26:05and insulted,

26:08and insulted

26:09the world's heavyweight champion,

26:12you asked

26:13for what's gonna happen

26:15to you tonight.

26:16How dare you?

26:18How dare you

26:20to even

26:20make an end

26:21to win you

26:22that my

26:23man,

26:25the total package

26:26has turned his back

26:28on anyone.

26:29...

26:29Listen, Harley Race,

26:33this doesn't concern you

26:35and Hughes.

26:35There's two of you out here.

26:37But Lex Luger

26:38had the faith

26:40of all these kids.

26:41It's about what he did

26:42with all the kids

26:43behind him,

26:46supporting him

26:47for years, right?

26:49He turned his back

26:50on every one of you kids

26:52and myself.

26:54He doesn't return

26:55my phone calls.

26:56He turned his back

26:57on Sting,

26:58everyone here.

26:59And for one minute,

27:01if you think

27:02Z-Man's gonna take it,

27:03it ain't gonna happen.

27:06Let me say this to you.

27:08You're gonna get a chance

27:09in just one second

27:11to talk to the man himself.

27:14Ladies and gentlemen,

27:16the world heavyweight champion,

27:19the total package.

27:21Lex!

27:27Boy, you know,

27:28Tom,

27:29here we go again.

27:31Here we go again.

27:33Due to our friendship

27:34in the past,

27:36I'm gonna give you

27:37one last chance.

27:39I'm gonna attempt

27:39to cut you a break.

27:41Cut me a break.

27:43Now, you've made a statement

27:45that I've turned my back

27:47on all these fans

27:49and on all my friends.

27:53Is that right?

27:54Well, I'm gonna prove you wrong

27:56on national television

27:57right now.

27:59All it'll take, Tom,

28:02is a simple apology

28:03right here

28:03for all these people

28:04and all these people

28:06out there.

28:06Are you kidding me?

28:07And I will allow you

28:08to walk.

28:11First of all, Luger,

28:13you know me better

28:14than that.

28:16I'm not gonna walk

28:17away from you.

28:18And how dare you think

28:19you're gonna allow me

28:21to walk?

28:22Just stand up.

28:23Watch out.

28:24A cheap shot

28:25by Luger,

28:27the pompous,

28:29overbearing

28:30heavyweight champion

28:31of the world

28:32with another cheap shot.

28:34And there's

28:34the attitude adjustment.

28:36The pile driver

28:38on the Z-Man.

28:40What a despicable

28:42human being

28:42is Lex Luger.

28:43The Z-Man

28:50sustained a minor

28:51neck injury

28:52as a result

28:53of the incident.

28:54Now he says

28:55he wants to be

28:55a referee

28:56in world championship

28:57wrestling.

28:58Give me a break.

29:00Here's what he had

29:00to say about it

29:01with Eric Bischoff.

29:02The Z-Man,

29:03we just saw the incident

29:04between you

29:05and Lex Luger

29:05and frankly,

29:06you know,

29:06as long as I've known you,

29:08I've got to say this,

29:09you've conducted yourself

29:10as a professional,

29:11you've worked hard,

29:12you've played by the rules,

29:13and I know you'd much

29:13rather be in the ring,

29:15but I can't think

29:15of anybody better

29:16in many ways

29:17to establish

29:18some control here.

29:19Well, thank you

29:20very much, Eric.

29:21You know,

29:21my first love is wrestling,

29:22but Lex Luger,

29:23Harley Race,

29:24and Mr. Hughes,

29:25you've kind of

29:26entered my career

29:26temporarily now.

29:28My neck's still sore, Eric.

29:29You know,

29:29the doctor said

29:30I can't wrestle,

29:31but Lex Luger,

29:32you didn't get

29:32the job done.

29:34You can check

29:34with world championship

29:36wrestling,

29:36I've got my license, Luger,

29:38and I'm going to be

29:38a thorn in your side.

29:40Two on one,

29:41three on one,

29:42isn't going to go

29:43in the ring

29:44with the Z-Man

29:45as a ref, Luger.

29:46I don't care

29:47what you say,

29:48check with WCW,

29:49it's on file,

29:50it's all legal, Luger,

29:52and I'm going to be

29:52a thorn in your side

29:54for an awful long time.

29:56If he's assigned

29:58to referee

29:58the tag team war

30:00between Ron Simmons

30:01and Barry Windham

30:02versus the total package,

30:05Lex Luger,

30:05and Mr. Hughes,

30:06he will have to

30:07contend with this man,

30:09the world's most

30:10dangerous bodyguard.

30:12Now, let's go to the ring.

30:14The following contest,

30:15it is set for one fall.

30:17Introducing first,

30:19accompanied by

30:20former heavyweight champion,

30:22Harley Race,

30:23he weighs 375 pounds,

30:27he's the personal bodyguard

30:29of the world

30:30heavyweight champion,

30:31and Mr. Hughes.

30:37His opponent

30:38from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,

30:40232 pounds,

30:42Jimmy Hodge.

30:46Lex Luger is very adamant

30:48that...

30:48Come out here tonight...

30:49I guess we're going to hear

30:50more talking.

30:51...to show you how

30:52and why

30:54this man

30:55earns his money.

30:57I'm going to show you people

30:59here in this building

31:00and everyone else

31:01around the world

31:03what this man

31:05is all about.

31:08Well, we got a good idea,

31:11Paul,

31:11what he's all about.

31:12He's all about

31:13being as bad as they come,

31:15and Luger is very open.

31:17He says that Ron Simmons

31:18will not make it

31:20to Halloween Havoc

31:22100% healthy,

31:24and somewhere

31:25in a tag team match

31:26could be in Atlanta's Omni

31:29on Saturday,

31:30October the 12th,

31:31or in another great arena

31:34around the country

31:35that Simmons is going

31:36to go down.

31:37They're going to bust him up.

31:38He's going to go

31:39to Halloween Havoc

31:40in less than 100%,

31:41and if that's going to happen,

31:42you've got to think

31:43that this man,

31:44Mr. Hughes,

31:44is going to be a part of him.

31:46Oh, no doubt about it.

31:47Look at the damage

31:48that Mr. Hughes

31:49can inflict

31:51onto an opponent.

31:52This is one

31:53dangerous individual.

31:55He's straight out

31:56of a Lord Byron novel.

31:57Mad, bad,

31:58and dangerous to know.

32:00He certainly had

32:01a bloody encounter

32:04on WCW

32:05with Barry Windham,

32:07and this is not even

32:07a contest,

32:08quite frankly.

32:09Mr. Hughes.

32:11Hughes and Luger

32:12versus Windham

32:13and Simmons.

32:15Don't miss that

32:16tag team war

32:17if you get a chance

32:17to see it.

32:18There are not a lot

32:19of people on the face

32:20of this planet

32:20that can give

32:21Mr. Hughes

32:22a decent contest.

32:23invincible,

32:25invulnerable,

32:26indestructible,

32:27and impervious

32:28to pain,

32:29Mr. Hughes

32:30earns his money

32:31once again.

32:32Fans of Power Hour

32:33continues after this.

32:34Go!

32:35Go!

32:36Ladies and gentlemen,

32:52Introducing first,

32:55he weighs 233 pounds,

32:58beautiful Bobby!

33:04His opponent

33:05from Berlin, Germany,

33:07254 pounds,

33:09Skull von Klus.

33:11Well, I can assure you

33:12that beautiful Bobby's

33:13done in a good mood

33:14this morning.

33:14He's thinking about

33:15his battle tonight

33:16with Abdullah the Butcher

33:17right here on TBS

33:19as a part of a big

33:21two-hour spectacular

33:22here on TBS.

33:25I'm going to be interviewing

33:26Cactus Jack and Abdullah the Butcher

33:27tonight as well.

33:30Certainly don't look forward

33:32to that at all.

33:33Well, why would you?

33:33But can you imagine

33:34what beautiful Bobby

33:35has to look forward to today

33:37in just a few hours?

33:39Beauty versus the Beast,

33:40beautiful Bobby Eaton

33:42against Abdullah the Butcher

33:43tonight on World Championship Wrestling

33:45at 6.05 Eastern Time

33:47right here on TBS.

33:51Oh, yeah, he pulled his hair.

33:53Isn't that obvious?

33:54I think we need

33:57to call in a hair expert.

33:59Get Cy Sperling on the phone,

34:00Paul.

34:01I know you got his number

34:01memorized.

34:02Hello, Cy?

34:04C.

34:06Wrong show.

34:07Need to the midsection

34:08by Skull von Klus.

34:12Bobby, a man that does

34:13his talking with his fists

34:14and his wrestling expertise

34:16as a rule.

34:18And there's tremendous

34:19clothesline by beautiful Bobby.

34:20And another one

34:22takes the ball-headed

34:24von Klus down.

34:26And notice Bobby

34:27doesn't let up

34:27once he gets an advantage.

34:28He continues on.

34:31Backdrop and goes

34:31straight for his opponent.

34:33Silent but deadly.

34:34Beautiful Bobby Eaton.

34:36We're going to be hearing

34:37from Flyin' Brian

34:38and the Z-Man

34:39a little bit later here.

34:41And they are going to be

34:42giving you the

34:42toll-free number

34:44that you can call

34:45for free information

34:47on the Bruise Cruise.

34:48So get your pencil

34:49and paper handy for that.

34:54And Bobby now

34:55finishing off

34:55Skull von Klus.

34:57Von Klus has about

34:59as much chance

34:59of surviving

35:00against beautiful Bobby

35:01as the Braves did

35:02against the Reds

35:03Thursday night.

35:05Been a tough week

35:06for our Braves.

35:07Jays.
