00:00:00Are you aware of the fact that I'm a limousine riding?

00:00:05Jet flying, he's stealing, wheeling, kneeling, son of a gun.

00:00:10We are live on Monday Nitro and we're off the page.

00:00:12I just saw through some crazy old jackass.

00:00:15We are off the page already.

00:00:17Flair came out right before we went on the air and Mish has come out.

00:00:22You know what?

00:00:23You think I'm a jackass getting a ring, say that to my face one time.

00:00:27My goodness.

00:00:28We're gonna kick start Nitro.

00:00:31Come on man, Animal, come on.

00:00:34I'll show you what, Jeff.

00:00:35Somebody's gonna kick start Nitro.

00:00:36Wait a second, he gave me an invite, you need to walk away here.

00:00:41That's the bodyguard, Road Warrior Animal and Kevin Nash, here we go.

00:00:45The boss came out, Animal, something to say, now look at Kevin Nash.

00:00:49This isn't something.

00:00:50Animal, get up.

00:00:51The boss is all alone.

00:00:55Animal.

00:00:56He's blown by himself.

00:00:58The bodyguard's been KO'd at ringside.

00:01:01Animal, Animal.

00:01:03Where's Tim Flair?

00:01:05Get up.

00:01:06Where's the shock troops of Ric Flair?

00:01:08Kevin Nash is fed up- I don't want nothing to do.

00:01:11About what's happened to him- I don't, I don't, I don't.

00:01:13The last two weeks, and you can't believe it.

00:01:16He hit him.

00:01:17He hit the boss.

00:01:19He's got him by the throat.

00:01:20He's got him throttled in the corner, look at that.

00:01:23Now you listen to me, Flair.

00:01:27You may be the boss around here, but you are not.

00:01:32What's that, Smythe?

00:01:33Scott.

00:01:34Yeah.

00:01:35Man, Kevin's got Ric in the ring right now, it's gonna hurt him.

00:01:38Flair?

00:01:38Yeah, he's got him in there right now.

00:01:39Hey, come on, Nash, that's Flair.

00:01:41He's in the ring right now, look at him.

00:01:42Well, there's Flair's troops, and the boss is still in trouble with a big foot.

00:01:46Kevin Nash, looking for retribution for what the boss is putting through the past few weeks.

00:01:54Now, I'm tired week after week, are you calling the shots?

00:02:02I'm calling the shots around here now, get your hands off me.

00:02:09It's a coup, revolt from inside.

00:02:14Yeah, but Flair's cavalry is now making their way in the arena here in Tupelo,

00:02:19Mississippi, and Kevin Nash is not worried about that at all.

00:02:23Flair, there he goes, that's the CEO, Kevin Nash is destroying the boss.

00:02:30I'm not gonna waste my time with you, I'm gonna embarrass you.

00:02:36I'm gonna strip you naked on national television.

00:02:39Come on, nice, Kevin, let's take this over.

00:02:46Look at that, those chops, no effect on it.

00:02:50Flair's trying to fight his way out of it, but now he's living up to his work.

00:02:55Look at the intensity on the face of Kevin Nash,

00:02:57he is stripping that $3,000 suit off of Ric Flair.

00:03:03Flair's trying to fight his way out of it, and you gotta know the troops are coming

00:03:08any minute now.

00:03:10We saw them pull up in the limo outside, totally false, Steiner, Jarris,

00:03:13they're all there, Sanders, running interference, whoa, no, Kevin.

00:03:17Is he gonna strip the CEO naked here?

00:03:20Look at that, good night.

00:03:23What an embarrassment for Ric Flair, stripped to his skivvies by the seven footer.

00:03:33You know, this started off kind of funny, it's getting real pathetic.

00:03:40Well, I would agree with that.

00:03:42Yeah.

00:03:43Is that Florida Gator underweight?

00:03:47It's time for the killer to put a period on the end of this sentence.

00:03:55Uh-oh, what does it mean?

00:03:57What is gonna happen next?

00:03:59Hold on.

00:04:00Yeah, yeah.

00:04:01The straps are coming down and Flair's begging, he's pleading for his life.

00:04:06When the straps come down, your time is up.

00:04:09It's time for the deck night.

00:04:11Hang on, here comes the troops.

00:04:15And they come in the nick of time.

00:04:17The world champion, Bob Bagwell.

00:04:20Look, they're all out here.

00:04:22You better get back, boys, or I break his neck.

00:04:30Break his neck.

00:04:31Look at Flair.

00:04:32He's flipped.

00:04:33He says he's gonna break the CEO's neck, unless they back up.

00:04:38Team Flair is torn.

00:04:39They don't know what to do.

00:04:40If they jump in Flair's neck, it's gonna snap.

00:04:43Pins are good at my microphone.

00:04:45I wanna see what these girls got to say.

00:04:47He's holding them all off with one hand on the belt.

00:04:50Let him go, Nash.

00:04:51Let him go.

00:04:52We're coming in there.

00:04:53Don't break his neck or I'll break yours.

00:04:56I don't think you're in much of a position to negotiate right now, Steiner.

00:05:01And he's not.

00:05:02Come on, Nash.

00:05:03Let him go.

00:05:04Or what?

00:05:05Or what?

00:05:06Or what?

00:05:07We're gonna come in there and kick your ass.

00:05:10No gray area there.

00:05:15This is what you call a dilemma for Ric Flair's man.

00:05:21Ric Flair, before this goes any further, it looks to me like we got some demands we need to negotiate.

00:05:27You feel like negotiating tonight, Flair?

00:05:30Yeah.

00:05:32Yes.

00:05:34A little coercion there.

00:05:36I would think so.

00:05:37I brought a negotiator with me tonight.

00:05:40Brought a negotiator?

00:05:41What does he mean by that?

00:05:42What?

00:05:43He blocked the commissioner.

00:05:48Look at him.

00:05:49There you go.

00:05:50Better to cut him off before he comes out.

00:05:53He's coming from the other side.

00:05:56He came through the crowd.

00:05:57The commissioner and Miss Jones.

00:05:59They have formulated a plan to outsmart the name Chibbert.

00:06:05Oh.

00:06:06None of them see.

00:06:07He's coming the other way.

00:06:10They were ready to stop the commissioner.

00:06:12Wait a minute, Nash.

00:06:15You know you a bad boy.

00:06:17Is that any way to treat your grandpa?

00:06:19Oh, he'll hear about that one.

00:06:22I'm gonna tell you something, Ric Flair.

00:06:24Tonight, I'm in charge.

00:06:26The cat is in charge.

00:06:28Looks that way to me.

00:06:32It looks like we got a new sergeant.

00:06:35Don't do it.

00:06:36Don't do it.

00:06:37He'll kill him.

00:06:38And I tell you what.

00:06:40If he break his neck, I'm in charge.

00:06:43And I'm gonna send all you bombs home.

00:06:45Especially you big papa dump.

00:06:50Look at Nash.

00:06:53Don't do it.

00:06:54Kill him.

00:06:55He's gonna snap the boss's neck.

00:06:59I'm gonna tell you something.

00:07:01Tonight, I'm about to book the whole show, baby.

00:07:06All right.

00:07:07Let's hear it.

00:07:08You got a pen.

00:07:09And we know when the cat book the show, there's a lot of surprises out to follow you fans.

00:07:15But hold up.

00:07:17Wait a minute.

00:07:18I'm gonna do it the right way.

00:07:20I'm gonna ask the boss, can I take charge tonight?

00:07:23Hey, boss.

00:07:24Can I take charge tonight?

00:07:26Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:07:27Now, what did he say?

00:07:29Can you translate that?

00:07:31Sounds like Kim everybody nice.

00:07:32I guess so.

00:07:33So, you know what?

00:07:34Ric Flair, I know how you love big papa dump.

00:07:37I know how you like, I know how you like to protect big papa dump.

00:07:42But I'm gonna tell you, big papa dump, your ass will work tonight.

00:07:47It's actually big papa pump.

00:07:49You're scoring at home.

00:07:50Hey, wait a minute.

00:07:51Wait a minute.

00:07:52Wait a minute.

00:07:53Wait a minute.

00:07:54I'm gonna tell you what, you're not gonna work one time, not even two times.

00:07:59Your ass gonna work three times a night.

00:08:02Three times in one night.

00:08:05Because I'm a three time karate champion.

00:08:10That makes sense.

00:08:11Now, I tell you what.

00:08:13I wanna ask you boss, is it okay for me to put your boy to work?

00:08:18Yes.

00:08:22So, I tell you what.

00:08:23There's nothing I can do about this.

00:08:24There's nothing.

00:08:25Big papa dump, that first match, you, and I'm gonna put you in the ring with four

00:08:30crawling, fast running cruiserweights.

00:08:34So you will face four cruiserweights in this ring in the first match.

00:08:39Four on one.

00:08:40Four on one.

00:08:41And wait a minute.

00:08:43Wait a minute.

00:08:44Hey, Lyles and Lex Luger, just calm down.

00:08:48Steiner's not prepared for that.

00:08:49Now, big papa dump, you're gonna be so tired from running and chasing all those fast cruiserweights.

00:08:57And you know what?

00:08:58And then I'm gonna book you in a match against somebody who hates you as much as I hate you.

00:09:03That's a long list right there.

00:09:05DDP.

00:09:06Yeah.

00:09:07Page and the world champion tonight.

00:09:11Steiner's losing.

00:09:12Wait a minute.

00:09:13Wait a minute.

00:09:14I got to check with the boss just one more time.

00:09:17Hey boss, is it okay for DDP to go with Steiner?

00:09:20No.

00:09:21Yeah.

00:09:22Yeah.

00:09:23That neck is gonna snap.

00:09:25No.

00:09:26Wait a minute.

00:09:27When you finish with that DDP and he gonna hit you with that bang, I know it.

00:09:31I know you gonna feel that diamond cutter.

00:09:33I'm gonna tell you what, you got one more match.

00:09:36And this match gonna be the main event.

00:09:38And you know the boss said, hey Steiner, you don't have to put that world tight on the line.

00:09:42But I tell you what, tonight I'm in charge.

00:09:45And you know what Steiner?

00:09:46You're gonna be in this ring and you're gonna put that tight on the line.

00:09:49I'll give Big Kevin Nash.

00:09:51Tighter on the line.

00:09:52The tighter.

00:09:53Wait a minute, fans.

00:09:56Wait a minute, people.

00:09:57I'm not through yet.

00:09:58Wait a minute, chumps.

00:09:59Now, if you lose, I'm gonna book this match for old big nose back here, the boss.

00:10:07If you lose, you must resign at 12 o'clock tonight.

00:10:12Ric Flair, resign.

00:10:13Look, he's shaking his head now.

00:10:15So wait a minute.

00:10:17Is it a match?

00:10:18No, no, no, no.

00:10:24Here go the tricky part.

00:10:25Big Nash, Big Nash, I know you can do it alone.

00:10:28But I want you to hurt good chump.

00:10:30I'm gonna get you in the handicap match with Big Papa Pump and you can have a mystery partner.

00:10:36Whoever you want, whatever you want.

00:10:38Uh-oh.

00:10:39You can bring her to the ring tonight.

00:10:40Uh-oh.

00:10:41Look at that smack.

00:10:42You can bring her to the ring tonight.

00:10:44And guess what?

00:10:45Now, wait a minute, baby.

00:10:47Wait a minute.

00:10:48Wait a minute.

00:10:49Wait a minute.

00:10:50It's all on the way.

00:10:51Wait a minute.

00:10:52Nash in a mystery partner against the world champion and Ric Flair's.

00:11:03Flair agreed to it all.

00:11:05His career is on the line.

00:11:06Goldberg's not here.

00:11:07Wait a minute.

00:11:08Wait a minute.

00:11:09Wait a minute.

00:11:10Now, if you and your mystery partner whooped this guy, you know what?

00:11:15You gonna take his world title belt.

00:11:17Then you know he got nothing because he losing his hair and he lost his mind.

00:11:20We'll be in a seat for that later.

00:11:23And guess what?

00:11:24Get him.

00:11:25Get him.

00:11:26Get him.

00:11:27Now, now, you know what?

00:11:29Then, hey, hey.

00:11:30Then when you beat Steiner, this means this chomp is out of the offense.

00:11:34So that means somebody call my mama.

00:11:37I'm in charge tonight, baby.

00:11:39There's no question the cat's in charge.

00:11:44And Scott Steiner must wrestle three times in one night.

00:11:47Looks to me like the cat has spoken.

00:11:51Did he ever.

00:11:53The World Heavyweight Championship.

00:11:55Nash had a mystery partner.

00:11:57Who's it gonna be?

00:11:58Flair's job as the CEO at stake.

00:12:02Paige and Steiner.

00:12:03Steiner and the Cruiseroy.

00:12:05What next on Nitro?

00:12:06Welcome back live to Monday Nitro.

00:12:11The boss is still being helped out by his cohorts here.

00:12:16We have never seen anything begin a program like we just witnessed.

00:12:21The fact is, the world champion Scott Steiner must do something that really,

00:12:25I don't think any man has ever done.

00:12:27He's gonna have to face four men in match one, Diamond Dallas Page in match two,

00:12:32and then putting title on the line in a handicap match against Kevin Nash and

00:12:37a mystery opponent in the main event later tonight.

00:12:40And don't forget also that Ric Flair's job as CEO is on the line in

00:12:44that handicap main event.

00:12:46Scott Steiner's back is against the wall, but it's only fair, Tony,

00:12:49after what Steiner and Ric Flair have done to Kevin Nash over the last couple of

00:12:53weeks, dangling that World Heavyweight Championship shot at Super Brawl Revenge

00:12:58like a carrot in front of the lead horse.

00:13:00Making him go in many matches, making him prove himself.

00:13:03Win the match like Kevin Nash did two weeks ago, and then have it taken away from

00:13:08him and re-earn his shot like he did a week ago.

00:13:11This is payback from Kevin Nash, from the cap, all in one night.

00:13:16The World Champion could be driven down before we get to Super Brawl Revenge.

00:13:21And as you said, Scott, we could have a new boss, a new CEO,

00:13:25before the two hours are over here tonight.

00:13:27Four cruiserweights to line up against Big Papa Pump.

00:13:32Like four fuzz bombs and a Super Destroyer in the middle of the ocean.

00:13:36The war is on, and think about the opportunity for the youngsters.

00:13:40What would happen to the career of these four men if even in a four-on-one,

00:13:45they got the best of Steiner, and we're off, whoa!

00:13:49These four men have been beating each other up for the last four months.

00:13:52Now they have a United Enemy, the World Champion.

00:13:55Look at this, look at the size and the power of Scott Steiner,

00:13:58who's still in his street clothes.

00:14:00Did not even expect to wrestle one time, much less three times tonight.

00:14:04Evan Courageous took flight, and then he was punked right on the mat by the World Heavyweight Champion.

00:14:10The Cats said it.

00:14:11They are gonna be so fast, they may tire out Scott Steiner before his matches later

00:14:16against Paige and Nash, the mystery opponent.

00:14:18Now look at this.

00:14:19But watch Yang go!

00:14:21Springboard guillotine leg drop from the top, and look at this.

00:14:24They're all over him.

00:14:25They're all the World Champion.

00:14:27Opportunity knocking for the Cruiserweights.

00:14:30This is what the Cat, this is what Kevin Nash want.

00:14:33Four men- Wow!

00:14:34To try to wear down Scott Steiner, look at that!

00:14:36Whoa!

00:14:37The bombs are flying!

00:14:38Quadruple pins!

00:14:39Steiner's going down!

00:14:40And he kicked out the four men!

00:14:43He kicked four athletes off in the middle of the ring!

00:14:46What an amazing athlete has done Steiner!

00:14:49And he caught Courageous after the Devil Steiner, and he T-Boom him over the top.

00:14:56Steiner is knocked off.

00:14:57Steiner, look at the bodies everywhere.

00:15:01That's the way he likes it.

00:15:03The more bodies laying around and carnage, the better.

00:15:07Off goes Kazuyoshi.

00:15:08What power from Steiner!

00:15:10Uh-oh!

00:15:11What a big drop!

00:15:12They are doing their job, though.

00:15:14They are making the World Champion expend the energy, because he's got Diamond Dallas

00:15:19Paige.

00:15:20No!

00:15:21One-on-one still to come.

00:15:22He's got Kevin Nash in a handicap match for the world title.

00:15:26Fans, that is all in this program live here on TNT.

00:15:30And look at Steiner, he's not done!

00:15:32Who is Kevin Nash's partner going to be later tonight?

00:15:35What will happen with Steiner and Diamond Dallas Paige?

00:15:39Look at Steiner with the cross.

00:15:41That's a T-Bone from the middle turn back, though, all the way down.

00:15:49I don't think Yang's gonna get up.

00:15:50I don't think he's gonna walk.

00:15:52One, two.

00:15:53One, two.

00:15:54Nobody's sitting up for-

00:15:55What now?

00:15:56He stopped the referee.

00:15:57He stopped the three count.

00:15:58Why?

00:15:59Jamie Noble back in the ring.

00:16:01The longer he goes, Scott, it's not good for him.

00:16:04A ball away that time.

00:16:06This is not good for Steiner.

00:16:07He should try to get it over in a hurry.

00:16:09Boom!

00:16:10He's T-boning everybody, and these are four premier cruiserweights.

00:16:14These are green guys fresh off an Indy circuit.

00:16:17These are athletes at WCW, and Steiner is just decimating them.

00:16:22The T-Bone is usually the setup for the recliner, but there are four men.

00:16:29What is he doing to these guys?

00:16:32They are dead weight.

00:16:34He's got Evan and Kazuyashi, and now Jamie Noble being brought over.

00:16:37He's gonna start a bonfire?

00:16:40They're stuck like cardboard here.

00:16:42My God.

00:16:43Not a triple recliner, a triple Steiner recliner.

00:16:46Look at this.

00:16:47They're all giving up.

00:16:49Three minutes and it's over.

00:16:51And yes, we know that.

00:16:54Breaking Scott.

00:16:55What an effort by the cruiserweights, but there may be no stopping.

00:16:58The world heavyweight champion.

00:17:02He is furious on what Nash and the cat have done.

00:17:06And the cruiserweights have paid a price, but he's still got Paige and Nash and

00:17:11the mystery partners still to come.

00:17:13That was just the opener for the world champion.

00:17:16As we head now on the verge of Super Braw Revenge, inside of two weeks, 13 days away.

00:17:24Scott Steiner faced four cruiserweights.

00:17:27Scott, here it is again.

00:17:28Double suplex from Evan and Jamie and a double bomb from the top by the Young Dragons.

00:17:33But look at that.

00:17:34The T-bone on Yang.

00:17:36Yang was high atop the ring and Yang was out.

00:17:39And then a triple Steiner recliner called the moving company.

00:17:45Scott Steiner, the world champion.

00:17:48Reign supreme, but he has a huge night ahead of him.

00:17:51Diamond Dallas Page, Kevin Nash, and the mystery partner.

00:17:55Who's it gonna be?

00:17:57The roster just got shorter.

00:17:59Scott Steiner and Diamond Dallas Page.

00:18:01And then, as you said Scott, the mystery partner.

00:18:04And Kevin Nash, still to come later, against the world heavyweight champion.

00:18:09Who will the mystery partner be?

00:18:11It's for the WCW title.

00:18:13And Ric Flair's leadership hangs in the balance.

00:18:16This portion of WCW Monday Night Raw on TNT brought to you by Burger King.

00:18:22Got the urge?

00:18:23Let's go backstage.

00:18:25This is not happening in the real world.

00:18:27I'm Ric Flair.

00:18:28I'm the most powerful man in all of wrestling.

00:18:30$2,000 suit torn up.

00:18:32I gotta carry a wardrobe on the road.

00:18:34Animal, I could lose my job as CEO tonight.

00:18:37I could net flair.

00:18:39This ain't about you.

00:18:40It's about me.

00:18:41Cat brook me three times a night.

00:18:43You need to do your job, man.

00:18:45Cat.

00:18:46Cat.

00:18:47Cat.

00:18:48Sanders, it's your fault.

00:18:49I told you to never focus on two levels.

00:18:51We arrived together as the most elite unit in all sports.

00:18:54One level all the time.

00:18:56Scotty, it's his fault.

00:18:57We never come to two levels.

00:18:58You got us divided tonight.

00:19:00Get this fixed.

00:19:01Press that.

00:19:02You're gonna be looking at wrong.

00:19:04The cat's in charge.

00:19:06Good God.

00:19:07Listen, man.

00:19:08Listen, things are going just fine, man.

00:19:13By that main event.

00:19:14I'm telling you not right now.

00:19:16By that main event tonight.

00:19:18Scott Steiler won't have anything left.

00:19:20He would not have anything left.

00:19:22Including that belt.

00:19:23And I'm gonna tell you.

00:19:24And that belt to you by believing.

00:19:25I'm gonna tell you something.

00:19:26Who do you want?

00:19:27Who do you hate?

00:19:28Buff, Luger, Animal, it doesn't matter.

00:19:30We're gonna start at the bottom.

00:19:31That dirt bottom.

00:19:32We're gonna give you buff tonight.

00:19:33You hear me?

00:19:34I got buff.

00:19:35You got buff.

00:19:36See, I got this built up aggression.

00:19:38It'd be good.

00:19:39Kill it, man.

00:19:40It might be a gas bubble.

00:19:41I don't care what you have.

00:19:42Kill it.

00:19:43By part of the band in the building.

00:19:44And I tell you what, DDP is important, man.

00:19:46He got to kill the bank, man.

00:19:47You got to hit him with that diamond cutter.

00:19:49We all know Steiner got a man.

00:19:50I tell you, he got a weak neck.

00:19:51You want to take him to bank town?

00:19:52He got a weak neck and a weak back.

00:19:54He would not last.

00:19:55It's coming, man.

00:19:57Sorry.

00:19:58Let's leave it all to you now.

00:19:59You gonna be the champion.

00:20:00You hear me?

00:20:01You're the world champion.

00:20:02It's good to be the champ.

00:20:07Don't face Gremlin Rich Steiner.

00:20:09Last week, you met the franchise right here and you beat him.

00:20:12Tonight, the US title is officially gonna be on the line, thanks to the cat.

00:20:17But I gotta warn you about the franchise.

00:20:19Watch out for that chain of his.

00:20:21Watch out for the chain.

00:20:22I watched out for last week.

00:20:23You know, this match was supposed to take place at Super Bowl, the pay-per-view.

00:20:26But I went to the almighty cat.

00:20:28And I said, cat, we need some gold for our side.

00:20:31You see, Flair keeps saying it's his WCW.

00:20:34Well, it's our WCW.

00:20:36I wanna win some gold for our WCW.

00:20:38Then I wanna give Kevin Nash more incentive to beat my brother for that world title.

00:20:43So, franchise, look at that belt one last time, long and hard.

00:20:48Cuz the next time you see it, it'll be around my waist.

00:20:51If you got anything to say about it, you want some?

00:20:54Come get some.

00:20:55You don't like me?

00:20:56Fight me.

00:20:57Thank you very much.

00:20:58Rich Steiner on his way to the ring to beat the franchise for the U.S. title.

00:21:09Brian Adams, one half of chronic, conspicuous by his absence this week, is your partner, Brian Clark.

00:21:16The word I get, he's on the shelf thanks to the actions of one animal last week.

00:21:20You know, Gene, instead of coming out here and talking about it, why don't you guys go ahead and play the footage.

00:21:24Let's go to the footage last week on Nitro.

00:21:26Pow!

00:21:27Oh!

00:21:28Dropping Brian Clark.

00:21:29No matter what angle you play it from, Gene, it's all the same.

00:21:32My partner get his head busted open.

00:21:34Very, very obvious though what Animal was trying to do.

00:21:37Yeah, you know what?

00:21:38My partner didn't go to the hospital.

00:21:39No, he went home, he sewed it up himself, and laughed the whole time.

00:21:44The mistake was, boys, you didn't get the job done.

00:21:47And now the WCW attorneys, or should I say Ric Flair's attorneys, are saying my partner's banned from the building for his own safety.

00:21:54The fact of the matter is, you guys are scared, and you should be scared.

00:22:00Cuz Bagwell, tonight, it's you and me.

00:22:03I'm not bringing a lead pipe to the ring.

00:22:05I'm not bringing a steel chair to the ring.

00:22:07All I'm bringing are these, and I promise this is all I need to get the job done.

00:22:12All right, revenge on the mind of one Bryan Adams as he meets Buff Bagwell tonight right here.

00:22:18What you talking about, huh?

00:22:20You gotta be kidding me.

00:22:21You gotta be kidding me.

00:22:22He's so far away.

00:22:23What you thinking about, Buff?

00:22:24Does he know that I'm Buff and I'm the stuff?

00:22:26I don't think so.

00:22:27He's got the problem.

00:22:28You know why?

00:22:29Cuz I talked to the trainer in Home Run King Animal.

00:22:32Oh, Slugger.

00:22:33Slug him in the back of the head, and guess what?

00:22:35He sat for three weeks, so he's by himself.

00:22:37I'm gonna show him I'm Buff, but I'm the stuff.

00:22:39You better watch his mouth.

00:22:40It also gives us a great idea, Mitch.

00:22:43Book Buff and I against Chronic and Super Brawl.

00:22:46Think about it.

00:22:47Are you sure you want that, though?

00:22:48That's money.

00:22:49It's simple.

00:22:50You've got a plan.

00:22:51You make it a no-substitution match.

00:22:53It's not our problem if they can't make it.

00:22:55It's totally Buff versus Chronic.

00:22:57If one of the partners doesn't make it, that's his problem.

00:22:59That's why you guys are totally Buff.

00:23:01You got the match.

00:23:02You got the match.

00:23:03I like it.

00:23:04You got it.

00:23:05It's Buff.

00:23:06It's Buff.

00:23:07I like it.

00:23:08Got another match just booked.

00:23:09You heard from the boss back there in the locker room area for Super For All Revenge.

00:23:15He seems awfully giddy, awfully happy, considering his tenure as a CEO could come here again in tonight, Scott.

00:23:22Absolutely.

00:23:23Wait a minute.

00:23:24Here comes the franchise Shane Douglas, the United States Champion, once with a cast on the right arm.

00:23:30Anyway, it was one week ago on WCW Nitro, non-title affair, and our first look at the Steiner driver.

00:23:37And Rick Steiner, count him out.

00:23:39Rick Steiner!

00:23:40The United States Champion in a non-title matchup.

00:23:43And tonight, the cats in charge, we can take home your quality here on the NFL team.

00:23:49Cut the music!

00:23:50Listen up, you Tupelo Southern Fried Redneck Hicks!

00:24:01They're talking to us.

00:24:04Hey, franchise, why don't you shut your stinking mouth?

00:24:09No.

00:24:10Wait a minute.

00:24:11The critics are here.

00:24:12You're not kidding.

00:24:14In the form of the Dog Face Gremlin.

00:24:17Rick Steiner comes to the ring and a chance to defeat the franchise and a chance to become the United States Heavyweight Champion.

00:24:29Can he go two for two?

00:24:31Can he defeat the United States Heavyweight Champion in two successive matches on two successive Nitros?

00:24:39The odds do not favor Rick Steiner.

00:24:41That's a tall order, but Rick Steiner has fought the odds his entire life.

00:24:46And the franchise Shane Douglas does it.

00:24:48He knows he felt his shoulders pinned last Monday night.

00:24:52The franchise must feel that his back is up against the wall here.

00:24:57What does he mean?

00:24:59He said it's not for the belt.

00:25:00The can already said it's for the belt.

00:25:03It's all up to you there, franchise, telling us it's all gonna go my way.

00:25:10Let's see, I'm worried about that cast on that right forearm.

00:25:15I didn't hear the story on that one, Tony.

00:25:17No, I didn't know about it at all either.

00:25:19But knowing the franchise, that cast, he could use that and hit him in the head with it.

00:25:26Or it could be a place to hide a chain, knowing this guy.

00:25:29Good point.

00:25:30Maybe he broke his arm or broke his wrist patting himself on the back.

00:25:34He's pretty adept at that.

00:25:35When this match gets underway and here clear, you see Jamie Tucker coming to

00:25:39the franchise, he wants to check this cast out.

00:25:42Good call.

00:25:43You're not kidding, a great move.

00:25:44What about what the cat told Diamond Dallas hates?

00:25:46He wants him to put him in the bank, wants him to diamond cut Scott Steiner.

00:25:50We were talking about the reason, Scott, and I think they'll crystal clear.

00:25:53I think the cat has a plan.

00:25:55He booked Scott Steiner against the Cruiserweights to tire Steiner out.

00:26:00He booked him against Diamond Dallas Paige and said, no, hang on a second.

00:26:04The franchise just used that cast.

00:26:06Come on now.

00:26:08He booked him against Paige just to get him diamond cut to soften him up for the main

00:26:19event for the world title.

00:26:20I think the cat has a plan, Tony, and I think thus far it's coming to fruition

00:26:25perfectly.

00:26:26It really could if Rick Steiner can become the US champion here against Shane

00:26:32Douglas.

00:26:33Momentum has to be on the side of Rick Steiner based on the footage that you saw

00:26:37fans moments ago.

00:26:38But I wanna tell you, the franchise, cast on the right hand and all,

00:26:42has taken the measure of Rick Steiner here.

00:26:45And not many people can say they do that.

00:26:47Wait a minute, now look at the franchise.

00:26:50He's just poking Steiner with a steel, he's gonna-

00:26:53He doesn't wanna do that.

00:26:54He's gonna really make him mad.

00:26:56No!

00:26:57Just brained him with a steel chair.

00:27:01And the franchise with cast on his right forearm.

00:27:06When we got the injury report for Nitro, that wasn't listed.

00:27:10The referee!

00:27:11Jamie Tucker, the ref, took the chair from the franchise.

00:27:15The reinforced steel chair.

00:27:17Can you believe that Steiner, Scott, is still on his feet?

00:27:21Steiner, one of the toughest men.

00:27:23I don't think you can hurt Steiner pretty late the time.

00:27:25That was high and tight on the front.

00:27:29Steiner's got a chair of his own.

00:27:31I think that's the same chair.

00:27:34Look how reinforced it, that is a solid steel chair.

00:27:38Look at the bar across the seat of the chair.

00:27:40Jamie Tucker telling Steiner, you don't need it.

00:27:42And Steiner knows he doesn't need the chair.

00:27:45They're back in the ring again.

00:27:47It was the Steiner driver that won the match a week ago.

00:27:50Will it be the Steiner driver that gives Rick Steiner the US title here on Monday Nitro?

00:27:57And then right across, right across the cheekbone of the US Heavyweight Champion.

00:28:02Get back here!

00:28:03The franchise is desperate, Tony.

00:28:05He lost last Monday night, and he may feel that title slipping through his slimy fingers tonight in Tupelo.

00:28:12Who is Kevin Nash's partner gonna be when he and this mystery partner face Scott Steiner tonight?

00:28:20After Scott Steiner must face Diamond Dallas Page with the world title and

00:28:24Ric Flair's tenure as the CEO on the line.

00:28:27Uh-oh. Hang on a second.

00:28:28Heads up.

00:28:29Right back over to the announce table.

00:28:31Into the belt.

00:28:34He tossed his head.

00:28:35Steiner tossed the franchise head right into the United States belt.

00:28:39Huge implications in that last match, and so in this match as well,

00:28:44for the United States Championship.

00:28:46Steiner has rebounded here.

00:28:48Watch the franchise!

00:28:49That was a mistake, and Steiner doesn't make many of them.

00:28:53A veteran move by Douglas, seeing Steiner climb through the ropes, using them in a rope.

00:28:58Goodness.

00:29:00Roll through neck breaking.

00:29:02We said it before, a franchise is desperate, but a desperate franchise is a dangerous franchise.

00:29:07Steiner just paid the price.

00:29:09The tide has turned here.

00:29:11You know, earlier you said you sent some desperation in the franchise, but

00:29:15a desperate franchise, obviously a dangerous franchise.

00:29:20He has seen a chance now, and he is pulling in all stops, using that cast on that right hand.

00:29:27Using every means possible to keep Steiner down, but can he do it?

00:29:31You're right.

00:29:33Reversed it, Steiner dug low.

00:29:34Steiner caught him!

00:29:35Slammed him in the center!

00:29:38And the crowd in 2-0 is behind the dog-faced griblet.

00:29:42Whoa!

00:29:43The Steiner line!

00:29:45The acceleration, the strength from the legs, and puts him down, belly!

00:29:49Boom!

00:29:50Planted him, almost through the canvas.

00:29:53He's not done yet.

00:29:54He's going up.

00:29:55This may be it.

00:29:58I thought maybe the Steiner Bulldog, but no.

00:30:01The franchise one step ahead.

00:30:03The cast on the franchise.

00:30:05He clocked the Gremlin right in the face.

00:30:07Franchiser, franchiser, got him!

00:30:09That should be it.

00:30:11That cast softened him up, knocked him goofy.

00:30:15The franchiser, from the franchise.

00:30:18One, two, go!

00:30:21No, no!

00:30:22Little late on the cover.

00:30:24You see the reaction of the franchise.

00:30:27He can't believe it.

00:30:28It was his own fault.

00:30:29Wait a second, he's touching the official.

00:30:31One minute, Steiner.

00:30:33Steiner grabbed him, he's got Steiner.

00:30:36But Steiner's got him, blocked it.

00:30:38Rick Steiner, wild swing and a miss.

00:30:40And his elbow on target, staggered Steiner.

00:30:43Steiner's got him again.

00:30:45He's getting a massive bear hug.

00:30:48And the only thing that Shane Douglas can do.

00:30:51Here it is!

00:30:52Steiner driver, got him!

00:30:53We've got a new champion, if we can cover him right now.

00:30:56Will lightning strike twice on Nitro?

00:30:58One, two, three!

00:30:59Yeah!

00:31:00Yeah!

00:31:01We've got a new champion!

00:31:02Rick Steiner has done it!

00:31:06Gold is in the house of Team Cat.

00:31:10One for the good guys.

00:31:12Rick Steiner is the new United States Heavyweight Champion.

00:31:17And he will go into Super Bowl revenge as the champion against the former champion now, Shane Douglas.

00:31:23You made a good point right there, Scott.

00:31:25You said the house of Cat.

00:31:27The Cat booked this match and Steiner delivered.

00:31:31Rick Steiner is the United States Heavyweight Champion.

00:31:35A man who made his name in Tag Team Wrestling now is on top of the heap in the US Heavyweight Championship Division.

00:31:43Look at his fans standing up, what a big moment that was.

00:31:46The franchise can't believe it.

00:31:49Maybe the tide really is turning in World Championship Wrestling.

00:31:54Ric Flair, number three.

00:32:01You know how it goes.

00:32:04You want me?

00:32:05You want some?

00:32:07Come get some.

00:32:09You don't like me?

00:32:11Like me.

00:32:12And it can tell the world, Matt Scott, because he is the United States Champion.

00:32:18Two weeks in a row, he's had the franchise's number.

00:32:21Here it is one more time.

00:32:23Up top with the Steiner, driver one impact.

00:32:26The franchise cast and all, the master plan failed.

00:32:30One, two, three.

00:32:31The Dog Face Scriblin has U.S. Gold in WCW.

00:32:35There's the cap.

00:32:36And we're not done tonight.

00:32:38There's a whole lot more including Scott Steiner already against four men tonight.

00:32:43But the world champion must face Diamond Dallas Page.

00:32:47And then later on, Scott Steiner put the world title on the line against Kevin Nash and the mystery partner.

00:32:54Who would that mystery partner be?

00:32:56And will Steiner still be the world champ?

00:32:59And Ric Flair, his leadership hangs in the balance with that match tonight.

00:33:03Did you see what Nash did to me?

00:33:10Can you believe that I'm a CEO?

00:33:12Sometimes they don't remember who I am.

00:33:13Ric Flair, CEO.

00:33:15I'm a Steiner.

00:33:16I'm a Jared.

00:33:17I'm a totally buff.

00:33:18Listen, I'm gonna forget about that for a minute.

00:33:20Listen, I promised you the world.

00:33:22Right.

00:33:23Last week, your dad and I went way south of the border.

00:33:26We drank some mezcal.

00:33:27And I found a real bad apple for you to wrestle tonight.

00:33:31A guy that's gonna take you all the way to the limit.

00:33:35But he's gonna make you look real, real dead.

00:33:38Hey, you're gonna be the man.

00:33:40You're gonna be the man.

00:33:41I'm telling you.

00:33:42You have got it all.

00:33:43You are our cruiserweight champion.

00:33:44This guy tonight is gonna bring you just a little bit, man.

00:33:48All right.

00:33:49Bring you just a little bit.

00:33:50Take you to the edge.

00:33:51What's going on here?

00:33:53I told him, Rose is allowed on this show.

00:33:56What is he doing here?

00:33:57Shovel?

00:33:58What's he doing on my show?

00:34:01Well, Ric Flair's little meeting with the cruiserweight champ interrupted

00:34:05because look who's coming to the ring.

00:34:08And what an entrance he made one week ago.

00:34:12And Ric Flair offered him a contract, Scott.

00:34:16Dustin Rhodes was supposed to be the surprise.

00:34:19But turned down Ric Flair and this was the price he paid.

00:34:22But Dusty Rhodes, the American dream, cleared the ring on the bad guys.

00:34:27And we saw father and son standing tall in center ring last Monday night.

00:34:33What a night it was in Baltimore.

00:34:35And Dustin's back tonight.

00:34:36Tupelo!

00:34:39Is it good to be back or what?

00:34:44Slick Rick sitting all back there.

00:34:50Let me tell you something right now, boy.

00:34:52Not by a long shot am I finished stomping your behind.

00:34:59You can bet your butt on that.

00:35:02We got a good start last week.

00:35:08Don't risk talking on Ric Flair.

00:35:09Everybody wants that, don't they tonight?

00:35:11Get in line, Dustin.

00:35:14Could be the end of Flair's tenure before this night is open.

00:35:21Ric Flair like dust, like the Rhodes name.

00:35:25You will always and never forget the name of Dustin Rhodes.

00:35:33You can bet on that.

00:35:34Not after last week.

00:35:39Are you paying attention?

00:35:41Rhodes, hey, look out.

00:35:44Right about you know who's running this joint.

00:35:47Woo!

00:35:48Look at the screen.

00:35:50It's the Nate Jamore Ric Flair, CEO.

00:35:53And this is my WCW.

00:35:57Don't you get it?

00:35:58You'll never work here.

00:36:00Put your head as fast as your own man's.

00:36:04I'm the CEO.

00:36:07This is my WCW.

00:36:09You're fired.

00:36:10You're gone.

00:36:11What you talking about, huh?

00:36:12You'll never work here.

00:36:13Why don't you come down here and say that?

00:36:14Shut up.

00:36:15Cut it.

00:36:16Get the truck.

00:36:17Get the truck.

00:36:18He's gonna pop a vein.

00:36:20Yeah.

00:36:21They cut his microphone.

00:36:23Flair is losing.

00:36:25Where's the security?

00:36:26Get him out of the ring now.

00:36:28He'll never work here.

00:36:30Get him up.

00:36:31Cut the truck.

00:36:32It's over.

00:36:33Embarrassing this has gotta be for Dustin.

00:36:35I wanted to hear what he had to say.

00:36:36I don't want to see him anymore.

00:36:37He doesn't want to see him anymore.

00:36:39What in the world?

00:36:41Okay, we are back.

00:36:43Moments ago, security took Dustin Rhodes on the behest of the CEO, Ric Flair, out of the arena and thus out of the building.

00:36:52What happened?

00:36:53Oh, come on, guys.

00:36:54What's going on?

00:36:56All right, fans, we apologize.

00:37:02We just got word from the back that Flair ordered the footage to be stopped immediately.

00:37:06He's serious.

00:37:07Yeah, he said Dustin wasn't getting another second of screen time and he meant it.

00:37:11Sounds like it to me.

00:37:12Flair was just completely consumed.

00:37:15Believe that.

00:37:16Cut off his mic, cut off the segment we dumped out earlier, the commercial.

00:37:19I'm sorry, man.

00:37:20Cut you off.

00:37:21Come on.

00:37:22Fans, I'm sorry, but he's the boss.

00:37:24Long we go, I guess, here in WCW is the boss for now.

00:37:29But let's not forget, this could be the dead end for Ric Flair.

00:37:33And as he's been so adamantly saying, my WCW.

00:37:38Because Scott Steiner holds Ric Flair's career as the boss in his hands as well as the world title.

00:37:45Scott Steiner was put in the ring against four first waves tonight to be worn down.

00:37:51And now he'll face Diamond Dallas Page in the cat's head, Scott.

00:37:57It's very simple.

00:37:58I want you to put him in the bag.

00:38:00I want you to put him in the diamond cutter.

00:38:02DDP and Scott Steiner in a non-title match right here.

00:38:06Well, that's his diamond Dallas Page right where he lives.

00:38:09You don't have to tell this man twice to diamond cut an opponent,

00:38:12whether it's Scott Steiner or anybody else.

00:38:15And the World Heavyweight Champion, Scott Steiner.

00:38:18Tied out by the four Cruiserweights earlier on.

00:38:20He's gonna step in there with DDP.

00:38:22We saw it back on Nitro.

00:38:24With, the Dragon Cutler on Lubin.

00:38:27And then Page rescuing Hugh Morris from an attack by Jeff Jarrett.

00:38:31And then this disgusting display ended up in Diamond Dallas Page being put in the Hooskow in Baltimore.

00:38:39More prodding by the Nature Boy.

00:38:43But he's out, and he's got a definite mission for the World Heavyweight Champion.

00:38:49Diamond Dallas Page has always been positive, has always been a motivator of young people.

00:38:56Has his own website, ddpbang.com, where his book is still available on that website.

00:39:02Autographed copies of Positively Page.

00:39:04And now he awaits Scott Steiner, World Champion, Big Papa Pump,

00:39:09who comes in now with his wrestling tights after he was surprised earlier wrestling in his street clothes.

00:39:17Steiner has to go through what?

00:39:20Four?

00:39:21Count.

00:39:22Page is five and two more.

00:39:24Six men in one night to protect his world title and to protect Ric Flair's leadership in WCW.

00:39:31A lot riding on the back, on the shoulders of the World Champion.

00:39:35Scott Steiner's never the life of the party, never a laugh a minute guy.

00:39:39But if he's ever been in a bad mood, it's magnified a hundred times tonight after what

00:39:44The Cat and Kevin Nash have done to him.

00:39:46And here we go.

00:39:47The mission is simple.

00:39:48Diamond Cut, the World Champion.

00:39:50Page trying to run a fire early on.

00:39:55Blocking Scott Steiner.

00:39:57Page just exploring it, and put the World Champion down.

00:40:00In a hurry, Diamond Dallas Page.

00:40:03It doesn't take much to get him fired up, getting pumped up.

00:40:06And now against Steiner.

00:40:07A danger from the outside.

00:40:09Got his ankle, but.

00:40:11What power, one, two, and a kick out.

00:40:15The power exhibited by Diamond Dallas Page.

00:40:18And he is just running over the World Champion, both in and down hard.

00:40:22We're talking about two heavyweights, and what a pace they are setting here on Nitro.

00:40:27Page is all over Steiner.

00:40:29And he hasn't forgotten his mission.

00:40:31Just hit the Cutter.

00:40:33Just do it.

00:40:34Pace by design now.

00:40:36It would not behoove DDP to hit the Cutter early.

00:40:40He wants to wear down the World Champion because Kevin Nash has a chance later on

00:40:45with a mystery partner, whoever that is, to wrest the world title from Scott Steiner

00:40:51and end the leadership of Ric Flair in his tenure as the boss.

00:40:56That's all still to come, but Page has hit the World Champion here with everything.

00:41:01Up on top, Page.

00:41:02And Madeja does her job.

00:41:04She stopped the momentum of DDP, stopped it cold.

00:41:07She's been involved physically in this one twice already.

00:41:11Not afraid to get in there.

00:41:12What's done?

00:41:13Page is shoulder high on the champion.

00:41:15Small on the back into the top turnbuckle.

00:41:20Ties into the tree of woe.

00:41:21Uh-oh.

00:41:22We know where this goes.

00:41:23No.

00:41:24Wrenching back on the neck, twisting the knee, twisting the back.

00:41:28And Page in a bad way.

00:41:30Madeja turned the tide and Scott Steiner has taken full advantage of him.

00:41:36Everybody knows no one can take a man apart.

00:41:40And even as we saw earlier, four men apart.

00:41:43Like the World Champion, Scott Steiner.

00:41:45And Steiner, back into this, sending DDP in.

00:41:49Diamond, Dallas.

00:41:50Page out.

00:41:51Trying to get him over.

00:41:52Steiner just too much bulk, too much power.

00:41:55One, two, poser.

00:41:56Page got him over.

00:41:57One, two, no.

00:42:00Well, Page had one trick left, didn't he, Scott?

00:42:03The sunset flip was not part of the mission.

00:42:07But regardless, The Cat and Kevin Nash have done a number on Scott Steiner tonight.

00:42:12Backbreaker from Steiner.

00:42:13And no, almost a three count.

00:42:16Steiner better keep his focus.

00:42:18Don't turn your back on DDP.

00:42:21Steiner wants to end this one quickly.

00:42:24He wants to get out of this.

00:42:25He must know as well as we do what the victim for DDP is here.

00:42:29And DDP that time knocked up and off his feet by a mesh of Steiner line.

00:42:34The elbow, and no, look at this.

00:42:37Why on earth?

00:42:38Get the pinball, get out of the diamond cutter.

00:42:44That should be Scott Steiner's mission.

00:42:46A bloody lift at all.

00:42:48The world champion.

00:42:49Will DDP be able to complete his mission?

00:42:52Will he be able to take him down?

00:42:54Put a diamond cutter on a neck that has been weakened in the wars in WCW?

00:42:59The world champion though, bloody mouth and all, right now pummeling DDP.

00:43:04And listen to the fans chant, DDP, to get one of their heroes back to his feet.

00:43:11But can he get there?

00:43:12The people are behind him in Tufelo.

00:43:15He's got to hit the cutter to fulfill his part of the Cat's plan.

00:43:20Double bicep pose by the world champion, what a specimen he is.

00:43:24But Diamond Dallas Page is a fighter, and he's up.

00:43:28He gave him that opportunity.

00:43:30And when he gave you the opportunity, Page took advantage.

00:43:33Will he get the cutter on the man?

00:43:34No.

00:43:35Not like that he won't.

00:43:37Twist to the face, no, belly down.

00:43:39This could end.

00:43:40One, two, and it.

00:43:42No.

00:43:43Page throw to the shoulder of the rolling dundas suplex.

00:43:47What is intensity?

00:43:49Come on.

00:43:50He threw the cutter, shrugged off.

00:43:54He floated off.

00:43:55He floated off.

00:43:56Diamond Cutter!

00:43:57Diamond Cutter!

00:43:58Diamond Cutter!

00:43:59Steiner!

00:44:00Never saw it coming.

00:44:01Nice first.

00:44:02He got the Diamond Cutter on.

00:44:04He did what he was told by the Cat.

00:44:07Mission accomplished.

00:44:09He Diamond Cut Scott Steiner.

00:44:11Well, he's got it and caught it in the ball.

00:44:14He may just call it by Steiner, but that does not matter.

00:44:17The Diamond Cutter worked.

00:44:21Diamond Dallas Page put the cutter on the world champion.

00:44:25He's going to celebrate with the fans.

00:44:27And now the question is, what type of condition will the world champion be in?

00:44:32Hang on a second.

00:44:33Hang on, what the?

00:44:34The fan attacks him.

00:44:35What the hell is this?

00:44:36Who is that?

00:44:37Celebrating with the fans and a fan attacked him.

00:44:39Come on, what's going on?

00:44:41A fan and Jared, Jeff Jarrett, a fan and Jared are attacking.

00:44:45That's Canyon.

00:44:47Canyon, where has he been?

00:44:50Why is he here?

00:44:51He went in the celebration of the fans and Chris Canyon.

00:44:56My God, what?

00:44:57Where has Canyon been?

00:44:59Along with Jeff Jarrett brutally assaulting Diamond Dallas Page.

00:45:05Page, he will meet Jarrett at Super Bowl events.

00:45:10Look at Canyon.

00:45:11There he is.

00:45:12We know the history between Page and Canyon.

00:45:16I have not seen Canyon here at all anywhere.

00:45:18The last time we saw Canyon, remember?

00:45:20Positively Canyon.

00:45:21Yeah.

00:45:22His whole career, his whole life was to run down everything that DDP stood for.

00:45:27Page, mission accomplished, but he paid a heavy price.

00:45:32Chris Canyon back in WCW with the vengeance.

00:45:36That man has to face Kevin Nash and a mystery partner later.

00:45:41The carnage.

00:45:42Well, actually, it's him that man face Nash and a mystery partner.

00:45:46Look at this.

00:45:47Good call.

00:45:48How much is going to be left of the world champion when our feature about comes up in less than one hour here on WCW Monday Nitro.

00:46:00He's gonna posture and pose for the fans, but you can see the pain on his face.

00:46:06Absolutely.

00:46:07The lights are on, but not everybody's home for the world champion, and he's not done.

00:46:12The cat and Nash put together a master plan.

00:46:15This action earlier.

00:46:16Nash, or rather, Page with the diamond cutter.

00:46:19That was Nash's plan.

00:46:21That was the cat's plan.

00:46:22But Canyon, out of nowhere, back in WCW, attacking the celebrating DDP.

00:46:28What is going to happen next on Nitro?

00:46:32That man has his destiny and Ric Flair's destiny in the palm of his hands later tonight.

00:46:44Look at this.

00:46:45Look at the coach.

00:46:46Get the coach, come on.

00:46:47Get the coach.

00:46:48Unfulfilled attack.

00:46:49Come on, coach, get out of here, man.

00:46:53By the returning, Chris Canyon.

00:46:55Come on, come on.

00:46:56Look at this.

00:46:57There's Ken.

00:46:58Yeah, like these in the night.

00:46:59They hit and they run into a limousine along with Jeff Jarrett and they're gone.

00:47:13You hear, he's talking about his kidneys, his lower back.

00:47:17I don't know what type of condition Page is gonna be in.

00:47:20They did a number on Diamond Dallas.

00:47:22Page did Jeff Jarrett and Chris Canyon, no doubt softening up Page for Super Brawl Revenge.

00:47:28DDP and Jeff Jarrett.

00:47:31El Nino is in the ring.

00:47:32This is the man that Ric Flair went south of the border and scouted with Chavo Guerrero Senior, apparently.

00:47:40Apparently so.

00:47:41He says it's a guy who's gonna take him to the limit, but it's a guy who's gonna make him the champion that he is.

00:47:48So, I mean, you know Chavo will never back down from a challenge like this,

00:47:54especially his father was with Ric Flair down to the border and brought this man in.

00:48:00So it's our first look at El Nino against the Cruiserweight champ, Chavo Guerrero Jr.

00:48:07Chavo Guerrero Jr. has been so impressive a couple of weeks ago on Nitro.

00:48:11And then last Monday night against Rey Mysterio Jr.

00:48:15In preparation for Super Brawl Revenge, but you see the Road Warrior Animal.

00:48:19The teammate of Chavo Jr. decimating Rey Mysterio.

00:48:23Chavo Guerrero Jr. is in tight with Ric Flair.

00:48:26Make no mistake about it.

00:48:27Flair wouldn't have sent the bodyguard Animal out to watch his back if he wasn't.

00:48:32I think Scottie is the type of champion that Ric Flair likes, aggressive.

00:48:36A man who likes to make his own rules.

00:48:38A man who plays by his own rules.

00:48:40Very cocky, very arrogant, but also, as you fans know, very, very talented.

00:48:46So El Nino in what is a non-title match, we understand even though the title bout is 13 days away.

00:48:54As El Nino takes a look, I'm sure his first look at the WCW Cruiserweight belt.

00:49:00Now what's going on now?

00:49:02Now what?

00:49:03He's berating Penzer.

00:49:04I guess he told Penzer what he-

00:49:07Don't let anybody touch the belt.

00:49:09Don't let anybody touch the belt, well.

00:49:11Here we go, Chavo Jr.

00:49:13And our first look at the debuting El Nino.

00:49:16Kind of Bugsy McGraw-ish, wouldn't you say?

00:49:21I don't know if I'd go that far.

00:49:23Another addition to the WCW Cruiserweight roster.

00:49:28We've seen many new Cruiserweights make their name here.

00:49:32Unfortunately, a couple of broken legs at the hands of Scott Steiner a few weeks ago.

00:49:35But also, not only another addition to the Cruiserweight roster,

00:49:39here's a man from south of the border.

00:49:41We've had some great luchadors come into WCW over the past five or six years, Scott.

00:49:46Absolutely, they helped restore the Cruiserweight division.

00:49:49They have reinvented the Cruiserweight division, and WCW did the luchadors.

00:49:54Many names from the past, they're mostly back in the Lucha Libre south of the border.

00:49:58A few left here stateside, but now El Nino,

00:50:01they begin to launch a new luchador revolution here in WCW.

00:50:05El Nino, although the recipient of a foot to the face,

00:50:09up against the bottom turnbuckle pad.

00:50:13El Nino's not been able to show us anything as of yet, but obviously,

00:50:16the Cruiserweight champ, Chavo Jr. is in charge here.

00:50:20Into the corner, that was face first to the turnbuckle.

00:50:23Chavo picks him up.

00:50:24Got it back with authority, snapped him to the mat.

00:50:28Here's a cover wide, two, and a kick out.

00:50:31You saw Chavo with the forearm right across the jaw, the new attitude.

00:50:35Since the disintegration of the MIA, Chavo Guerrero Jr.,

00:50:39the Cruiserweight champion, has really been impressive in that ring,

00:50:42and has really been vicious.

00:50:43Gouda, springboard crossbody, but Chavo caught him.

00:50:48Nice show of power by the Cruiserweight champion.

00:50:51Curled him and then dropped him down with a backbreaker.

00:50:54Chavo, I don't know what that look is about.

00:50:58I don't know, maybe one, two.

00:51:02You see the knee right into the jaw before Nino rolled his shoulder.

00:51:06Look at this.

00:51:08Bone on bone right across the forehead, the temple area of El Nino.

00:51:13Ric Flair said this man would push Chavo, then he gave him a wink.

00:51:17He's just feeding this man to Chavo.

00:51:19I mean, this Chavo right now is dominating El Nino in his first appearance here in WCW.

00:51:26Quickness, he's shown some quickness at times.

00:51:30Back body.

00:51:32Caught himself.

00:51:33Wow.

00:51:34El Nino.

00:51:36El Nino, now showing us something.

00:51:39Whoa!

00:51:40Slingshot crossbody to the floor.

00:51:42Wiped out the champion.

00:51:44Now where's he going?

00:51:45Well, he takes flight again and encircling the ring.

00:51:49El Nino with his first floor and he pulls away from the champion.

00:51:53I don't know if that's down strategy or not, but he came all the way around the ring and

00:51:56took a lap.

00:51:57My goodness, El Nino goes head first.

00:52:00Into the front row.

00:52:03He almost wiped out that old guy.

00:52:05Good night.

00:52:06Now he's gonna suplex him back into the ringside area.

00:52:12Chavo Guerrero taking advantage of El Nino taking a lap around the ring.

00:52:21And that obviously didn't help matters.

00:52:22And then over the top, head first to the chairs in the front row.

00:52:27And now El Nino trying to get to retreat.

00:52:30He got, that was a great move.

00:52:32That was really quick.

00:52:33El Nino came up, slaughtered the leg away from Chavo.

00:52:36He's wasting time is what El Nino's doing.

00:52:38He hasn't had much offense at all.

00:52:39He needs to take advantage while he can.

00:52:41I think we may be seeing a man in the formative years of his career.

00:52:45Slipped from the top.

00:52:46Whoa!

00:52:47To the top, or Frankensteiner if you will.

00:52:51One, two, and a kick out.

00:52:52Whoa!

00:52:53To count on the Cruiserweight Champion.

00:52:55And El Nino finally has his head in this one.

00:52:58That was his best offensive move of the night, Scott.

00:53:01Picked him up, tilt the world, now tilt the world, backbreaker.

00:53:04Got him.

00:53:05Great counter move.

00:53:07Chavo should have taken advantage earlier on, but maybe now.

00:53:11Welcome to WCW, El Nino.

00:53:14That's right, running in with reckless abandon.

00:53:17And he spills on the outside, here comes Chavo again.

00:53:22Chavo, although he has dominated most of this match,

00:53:26has not been able to put El Nino away,

00:53:28who has shown some great flurries of offensive times.

00:53:32Although they have been intermittent.

00:53:34And we don't have any background on the Luchador El Nino.

00:53:37There was a fine from Ric Flair and Chavo Sr.

00:53:41Can you believe that?

00:53:43Yeah, we never know about those two.

00:53:46Okay, he's gonna roll over, trying to end it right now.

00:53:48One, two, go!

00:53:50El Nino kicked out, but not with much authority.

00:53:53The Cruiserweight Champion, looking good here.

00:53:56Later tonight, Scott Steiner will defend the World Heavyweight Championship

00:54:01against Kevin Nash and a mystery partner.

00:54:04World Heavyweight Championship defended in a handicap matchup.

00:54:08And also on the line, Tony, not the commissionership, the CEO job of Ric Flair.

00:54:14Ric Flair, Ric Flair may be done, his power gone.

00:54:18Kevin Nash may become world champion, and the cat may be in charge tonight.

00:54:23Who's gonna win it?

00:54:25There you see why Chavo is the champ, with a great veteran move on the ropes,

00:54:31putting El Nino down once again.

00:54:34Will Ric Flair's tenure as the boss come to an end tonight?

00:54:37Will Kevin Nash be the world champ?

00:54:40Who will he?

00:54:41One, two, go!

00:54:43So close!

00:54:44Chavo, he is tremendous.

00:54:48What a great move that was coming out of that pinny combination that time to El Nino.

00:54:53Running Lariat slowed El Nino.

00:54:56Chavo shoots him across Nino, whoa!

00:54:59Springboard up top, but Chavo caught him.

00:55:02Chavo is showing us some power tonight.

00:55:04Duck out by Nino.

00:55:06Nino trying to get the speed again, Chavo caught him, no!

00:55:09Head center takeover.

00:55:12El Nino has something left still.

00:55:17Caught Chavo, rolling through, one, two.

00:55:20Chavo pushes out with his legs, got out, comes away with a double axe handle.

00:55:24Clipped him in the back of the head that time.

00:55:26I wonder what's going to the mind of Ric Flair or of Scott Steiner.

00:55:30And I wonder what condition Scott Steiner is in after the diamond cutter moment of

00:55:33go.

00:55:34Will he be able to defend the title and defend Ric Flair's job?

00:55:38Did you see that?

00:55:39Yes, I did.

00:55:40Through the ropes.

00:55:41Wait a minute.

00:55:43That was very reminiscent.

00:55:45From the one, two, three.

00:55:51Hang on, he pinned Ray Mysterio Jr.

00:55:58How about that?

00:56:00He beat him.

00:56:01He pinned the Cruiserweight Champion.

00:56:04And he's not done.

00:56:06Chavo went out of the ring.

00:56:07And now, wait a minute.

00:56:09Now, the trademark of Ray Jr.

00:56:13You talking about momentum.

00:56:15Ray Jr.

00:56:17In 13 days, gets a chance at Chavo again.

00:56:21And this time, the title will be in line.

00:56:24What a swerve that was.

00:56:25Absolutely, he may be Cruiserweight Champion.

00:56:28Here's our Castro GTX Replay brought to you by the Motorola that provides maximum protection.

00:56:33Castro GTX Drive Hard.

00:56:35One, two, three, Scott.

00:56:37Unbelievable, El Nino en masse as Ray Mysterio Jr.

00:56:42He pinned the Cruiserweight Champion.

00:56:44Heads up Chavo.

00:56:45Heads up Chavo, 13 days until Super Bowl revenge.

00:56:49Got it, much more still to come.

00:56:51You gotta think, the cat had something to do with that as well.

00:56:55Well, Scott Steiner has battled through Cruiserweights and diving down his page.

00:57:00But still to come, against Kevin Nags and a mystery partner, and the job of Ric Flair on the line, still to come.

00:57:08Couple of big on-sales to talk about this coming Friday, the 9th of February.

00:57:13Tickets go on sale for the Sunday, March 4th event at Freedom Hall Civic Center in Johnson City, Tennessee.

00:57:18Get your tickets when they go on sale this Friday.

00:57:20And also, get your tickets for the Monday Nitro Thunder event on Monday, the 12th of March in Knoxville in the Coliseum.

00:57:28The Knoxville Coliseum tickets go on sale for that Monday, March 12th event this coming Friday, February 9th.

00:57:33And don't forget our great fans of Biloxi.

00:57:35We're gonna see you next Monday, the 12th of February at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum for Nitro and Thunder.

00:57:42And we need to shush because here is a very serious man.

00:57:46If I can be serious for a minute.

00:57:49Why does he always say that?

00:57:51The question on everybody's mind is, is Ric Flair gonna still be the boss come midnight tonight?

00:58:03Well, let me remind you that Flair has the full support of Team Canada.

00:58:10And Cat, come Super Brawl, WCW is gonna have his first Canadian Commissioner.

00:58:20Mark my words, Cat, because I'm from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

00:58:27I was born to wrestle and bred to win.

00:58:30All rise for the playing of the Canadian National Anthem.

00:58:34Hey, hey, hey, hey.

00:58:36Don't nobody wanna hear that crap.

00:58:39Now, I'm gonna tell you something, Canadian.

00:58:42So you wanna be the commissioner.

00:58:44I'll tell you what, we gonna take care of that later.

00:58:46But tonight, I'm the commissioner, I'm in charge, and you two clowns gonna work your ass off tonight.

00:58:52So let's see you try that maple leaf on these two guys.

00:58:58That's a more thrillers.

00:59:00That's a more thrillers.

00:59:01That's a more thrillers.

00:59:02Team Canada and the thrillers.

00:59:05It's the champions.

00:59:07Yes, sir.

00:59:09The World Tag Team Champion, Chuck Palumbo, Sean O'Hare, and Team Canada.

00:59:15What a war this is gonna be.

00:59:17The Cat, the Commissioner, flexing his muscle already.

00:59:22We have seen a new United States Champion.

00:59:25We have seen World Champion, Scott Steiner, be worn down, and we may see a new World Champion before the night is over.

00:59:32And now, two of the most talented young men who ever stepped foot into a WCW ring in many, many years,

00:59:38Chuck Palumbo and Sean O'Hare, the World Tag Team champs.

00:59:43Now word has arrived here at the broadcast desk from The Cat.

00:59:46This is a non-title matchup.

00:59:48The World Tag Team Championships not at stake, but certainly Team Canada would catapult to the number one contender slot

00:59:56if they scored the upset win over O'Hare and or Palumbo.

01:00:01Stasiak and Jindrak waiting in the wings.

01:00:03They've got the World Tag Team title shot in 13 days at Super Brawl.

01:00:07Top to bottom, what a night Super Brawl's gonna be.

01:00:11And look at this, the Canadian Killer, and the maniac himself, Sean O'Hare.

01:00:16The meaning of the monsters right here, neither man will give an inch.

01:00:21Look at this.

01:00:22And another match added to Super Brawl Revenge, Tony.

01:00:26Earlier tonight, a no substitutions match booked by Ric Flair at the request of Totally Bump.

01:00:32It's Totally Bump and Chronic, no subs at Super Brawl Revenge.

01:00:37One, two, three.

01:00:39A jump fight, Awesome blink that time.

01:00:42Amazing that Sean O'Hare could even get back on his feet after that one.

01:00:48And then a running Larry at that time.

01:00:50Watch Awesome flies like a cruiser.

01:00:53There he goes.

01:00:55After that German suplex and Sean O'Hare got back to his feet.

01:01:02Palumbo's in.

01:01:03Awesome did not miss a beat.

01:01:05Chuck Palumbo using the middle rope.

01:01:07That's a springboard with a drop kick.

01:01:09And watch out, the leader of Team Canada.

01:01:12Lance Dawg takes like missile drop kick.

01:01:15He believes that in 13 days he's gonna become commissioner.

01:01:19But if you connect the dots here, Scott, if Flair ends his tenure.

01:01:26What a great drop kick.

01:01:27Here's a cover, one, two.

01:01:30If he ends his tenure as CEO tonight, and that means that Kev becomes the boss,

01:01:34then Lance Storm could be wrestling to be the boss.

01:01:38Come Super Brawl Revenge, Lance Storm may be the CEO of this company.

01:01:42What power from Sean O'Hare.

01:01:47He just leveled Lance Storm, and Storm is still not up.

01:01:51Teamwork by the World Tag Team Champions.

01:01:55European Uppercut nicely done.

01:01:57Powerful European Uppercut that collided, sent Lance Storm off his feet,

01:02:02crancing into the near side ropes.

01:02:04Look at the top of his leg here.

01:02:06Natural Born's Drillers were the World Tag Team Champions.

01:02:10Two other teams, not these two guys.

01:02:12And they'll tell you they carried the two other teams.

01:02:17And the two men left right out in the middle of left field.

01:02:20Sean Stasiak and Mark Zindrak will get a shot at Super Brawl Revenge.

01:02:24And speaking of revenge, look at O'Hare and Lance Storm.

01:02:29The champions are tough tonight.

01:02:31Sean O'Hare really hauled off.

01:02:33Got great extension.

01:02:35Double arm bar just dropped Storm.

01:02:38Beak first, right into the canvas.

01:02:40Here's a pinfall attempt.

01:02:41And a good combination, but Lance Storm got out in one.

01:02:43And again, one, two.

01:02:45A double arm drag down, face first.

01:02:48Another innovative move from members of what I guess used to be the Natural Born Thrillers.

01:02:54A kick to the face as Lance Storm tries to get to his feet.

01:02:57And notice how Chuck Palumbo keeps the offense off.

01:03:00He'll let Lance Storm expend some energy to get into his feet.

01:03:03But then he nails it once again, once against Storm that time.

01:03:06Quick jab in the eyes.

01:03:07Good counter move.

01:03:08Lance Storm's got a pretty good right hand as well.

01:03:10Showing it there.

01:03:11But Chuck Palumbo, the big guy.

01:03:13Power slams him out.

01:03:15Power slams him out.

01:03:16That was a power slam.

01:03:18That's a pinfall.

01:03:19Back press with the leg.

01:03:20And no.

01:03:21Lance Storm rolled his shoulder.

01:03:22Lance Storm desperately needs to make a tag to Mike Awesome.

01:03:26A good penny combination that time as Palumbo hooked his hands inside Credo.

01:03:31Lance Storm's got him down.

01:03:33Lance Storm with a half count from defeating the World Tag Team Champions in an

01:03:37untitled bout with that right hand.

01:03:39And we've talked about it so much off the air, Scott.

01:03:41I don't think Chuck Palumbo is one of the better punches we've seen come around in

01:03:44a long time.

01:03:45Certainly is, he's not afraid to use it.

01:03:48Big seat bone right hand.

01:03:50Looking at luring, luring him in, luring the Canadian Killer in for the double team.

01:03:55And distracting the referee.

01:03:56Absolutely.

01:03:57Lance Storm being assaulted by the World Tag Team Champions.

01:04:03Lance Storm and the count for the commissionership job coming up in Nashville,

01:04:09Municipal Auditorium on the 18th of February.

01:04:12Hit 13 days.

01:04:13Lance Storm rolled through.

01:04:14One, two.

01:04:15And the big powerful legs of Sean O'Hare kicked out of that one.

01:04:20The thrillers.

01:04:21O'Hare and Palumbo are wrestling with such confidence since winning the World Tag Team title.

01:04:27And I think that's a key to them.

01:04:29We knew they were talented.

01:04:31They had all the tools, so to speak, to become champions.

01:04:35But to be able to keep the title, you have to have a lot of self-confidence.

01:04:39Believe it yourself.

01:04:40Feel you're gonna win every time you go in the ring.

01:04:42They've developed that over the past six months or so.

01:04:44Foot to the face.

01:04:45Lance Storm, the great veteran.

01:04:46High knee that time caught Palumbo.

01:04:49There's the tag to Mike Awesome.

01:04:51Below the chin.

01:04:52Here comes the Canadian Killer.

01:04:53Look how agile he is.

01:04:54Up on top.

01:04:55He connected it to Palumbo.

01:04:58He only did.

01:04:59Make a go.

01:05:00Higno saved the time and a kick out as well.

01:05:04As the World Tag Team champs are still in this team.

01:05:07Sean O'Hare may have saved the victory there.

01:05:09The title's not on the line.

01:05:10Wal Palumbo.

01:05:11Wow.

01:05:12Hit the hot shot on Mike Awesome.

01:05:14Great defensive move.

01:05:16Good tag.

01:05:17Sean O'Hare.

01:05:19Here he comes.

01:05:20We've seen this leapfrog before.

01:05:21Over the top.

01:05:22And on the back.

01:05:23What a tremendous double team move that is for the World Tag Team champs.

01:05:28That may have done some serious damage to the back of Mike Awesome.

01:05:32And Sean O'Hare knows it.

01:05:33This is right and left softening up the torso.

01:05:37Keeps him across.

01:05:38Look at Awesome agility.

01:05:40Awesome has a lot left.

01:05:42Back elbow.

01:05:43Putting the brakes on and the turnbuckles on the right side.

01:05:46Mike Awesome trying to make sure this big guy is down.

01:05:49And that's much easier said than done.

01:05:51To keep Sean O'Hare down.

01:05:53It's quite a chore.

01:05:55One and two.

01:05:58Got to be it.

01:05:59No, it's not.

01:06:00Columbo.

01:06:01Columbo hit the bottom turnbuckle pad very hard.

01:06:06And now with Columbo on the outside enabling a double we got.

01:06:10It's gonna be an awesome bomb here.

01:06:12It may be no.

01:06:14O'Hare rolled out of it.

01:06:16Spinning heel kick missed it.

01:06:18Awesome behind belly to back suplex.

01:06:20This is the cat's plan.

01:06:21This match was booked by the cat to get revenge on Lance Storm,

01:06:25the pretender to the commissioner's throne.

01:06:27Lance Storm knocked him right out with that windup.

01:06:31And then Lance Storm sent down with a heel kick.

01:06:34Almost took his head right off.

01:06:37Where Lance Storm down before their match at 13 days,

01:06:42where the commissioners ship will be on the line.

01:06:45But Lance Storm has been all in this one.

01:06:47Good extension by Sean O'Hare with a kick.

01:06:49Meanwhile in the other corner you see Palumbo and the Canadian Killer going at it.

01:06:53Wait a minute, what?

01:06:55He's got his partner rolled up.

01:06:57He doesn't.

01:06:58I don't think he knows that's awesome.

01:07:00He doesn't know.

01:07:01He was blinded that time in the corner.

01:07:03He doesn't realize.

01:07:04There's prime time.

01:07:05Smartened him up.

01:07:06He hit the Maple Leaf on his own partner.

01:07:09He collides with prime time.

01:07:11Jungle kick.

01:07:12And the shot top.

01:07:14Got him.

01:07:15What a one two punch.

01:07:17Jungle kick from Palumbo.

01:07:19Shot toss with O'Hare.

01:07:20Awesome.

01:07:21Suffered the Maple Leaf too.

01:07:23And it's over.

01:07:26Lance Storm made a critical mistake.

01:07:29He was blinded.

01:07:30He didn't realize it.

01:07:31And now he's talking to his teammates.

01:07:34He had put Mike Awesome in the Maple Leaf.

01:07:40Look at that.

01:07:41They're so lucky.

01:07:42You see this?

01:07:43Don't get hot.

01:07:44Don't worry about it, Mark.

01:07:46Hey, you know and I know where the real talent lied in this whole group to begin with, right?

01:07:50So let them count their lucky stars.

01:07:52Because come Super Brawl, guess what?

01:07:54You and me both.

01:07:55We walk out the new WCW Tag Team Champions.

01:07:59Put it down right there.

01:08:01We are mere moments away.

01:08:03Scott Steiner against Kevin Nash and a partner of Nash's Choice.

01:08:07No interference.

01:08:08There must be a winner.

01:08:10And Flair's CEO position on the line.

01:08:14It's all tonight, live here on Nitro.

01:08:17We're back on Nitro, ready to go with our next matchup.

01:08:22One fall, ten minute time limit and a reminder that we are gonna be in Nashville for Super Brawl Revenge in 13 days.

01:08:29Sunday, February 18th, Municipal Auditorium.

01:08:32The very next night, Nitro and Thunder, only one night at the Von Braun Civic Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

01:08:37That's Monday, February 19th.

01:08:39Lake Charles, Louisiana, gonna see you there on Sunday night.

01:08:42February 25th at the Civic Center Coliseum, and then in New Orleans.

01:08:47We're gonna celebrate Mardi Gras, I guess.

01:08:50UNO Lakefront Arena, Monday, February 26th.

01:08:53Nitro and Thunder, and here comes Buff Bagwell.

01:08:57This match is a match for revenge, Scott.

01:08:59It was last Wednesday night on Thunder.

01:09:01Road Warrior Animal with the chair from behind.

01:09:03Softened up Chronic, and the blockbuster.

01:09:06And Buff Bagwell got the pinfall.

01:09:10The war between Chronic and totally Buff continues and does continue right now.

01:09:16Here comes Bryan Adams.

01:09:19Bryan Adams, you heard the comments earlier in this telecast.

01:09:22He wants a part of Buff Bagwell.

01:09:25The catch said, who do you want to face?

01:09:27Buff was the man, and he'll take him apart one by one if need be.

01:09:32With Bryan Clark on the shot.

01:09:34Oh, what a kick.

01:09:36What a kick that was.

01:09:38And this is not gonna be pretty.

01:09:42He is going for revenge.

01:09:44Absolutely.

01:09:45Bryan Adams backing the referee into the corner, telling him, let us fight.

01:09:48But Buff Bagwell, Adams made the colossal mistake, turning your back on your opponent.

01:09:52Buff Bagwell, we sing the praise of how big and powerful Bryan Adams says, but let's not take anything away from what happened.

01:10:02Totally buffed.

01:10:04When he wants to get serious, he can go with the best of them.

01:10:06Look at Bryan Adams.

01:10:07Look at this Royal Pound.

01:10:08All right.

01:10:09He's crushing Beth Bagwell.

01:10:10He's gonna be a center two up there.

01:10:12Wow.

01:10:13Bagwell's gotta be 270.

01:10:15He just gorilla pressed him three times.

01:10:18Dropped him across the knee and will get chased down.

01:10:22Coming up at Super Brawl Revenge in 13 days, no subs, no substitutions.

01:10:30Chronic and totally buffed.

01:10:32Obviously, Luger and Bagwell along with the CEO, at least for the time being,

01:10:37Ric Flair stacking the deck against Chronic.

01:10:39Well, they know that Bryan Clark cannot get in the ring.

01:10:42They know from a busted head a week ago that Chronic right now is backpedaling the team

01:10:48of Adams and Clark.

01:10:49Three.

01:10:50But now with behoove your Bryan Adams to try to even the score, so to speak.

01:10:55If he can injure Buck Bagwell here, and you know he'd love to do it, Scott,

01:10:59then it would kind of even things coming up in that no substitution match in a mere 13 days.

01:11:04Look at the face of Bryan Adams.

01:11:05He is getting so, I don't even wanna say that word on this broadcast.

01:11:10He can't let Bagwell put out the fire with that drop kick.

01:11:13One.

01:11:14Doubles him up with a shot in the midsection.

01:11:16Bagwell sets him, spinning neck breaker.

01:11:18Buff Bagwell, look at that.

01:11:21He loves to showboat, loves to posture, but he is all that and more.

01:11:26Goes after Adams, Adams down a bad way here.

01:11:29Buff Bagwell scoops slam in the ring, put him down, look at Buff.

01:11:34Buff Bagwell set it, that's Buff in that top.

01:11:38Two, got a two count.

01:11:40And that was a mistake, one would think, to turn your attention away from Bryan Adams

01:11:44after a great mid-ring scoop slam.

01:11:46Sends in, Adams in, caught him in the chin and the jaw that time with a variation of a double

01:11:51ax handle.

01:11:52And now Buff strutting his stuff.

01:11:55Bryan Adams is not the kind of opponent that Buff Bagwell wants to waste time showboating.

01:12:00If you can get the pinfall, do it.

01:12:02But remember, Buff Bagwell made the statement to Ric Flair earlier tonight that Bryan

01:12:08Clark is on the shelf for three weeks as a result of the injuries suffered last Wednesday night on Thunder.

01:12:13He can have a little more cockiness, a little more arrogance, a little more confidence in there against Bryan Adams.

01:12:19We know how Dangerous Chronic as a team, Adams and Clark are.

01:12:24Even equally as Dangerous Bryan Adams in singles competition on his own, on his own especially,

01:12:30with the focus and the purpose he has in this matchup.

01:12:33Can you imagine, we may see the end of Ric Flair's tenure as CEO here tonight?

01:12:38And who is Kevin Nash's partner gonna be?

01:12:41As the cat said, you can pick anyone.

01:12:43It's up to him.

01:12:44It could be anybody.

01:12:45And did you see that smirk on the face of Kevin Nash when the cat opened that door at the top of the show?

01:12:51When he told Kevin Nash, you can have anybody you want.

01:12:55Kevin Nash's facial expression said an awful lot, Tony.

01:12:58The only thing it didn't say is who is the partner gonna be?

01:13:02We're moments away from finding that out.

01:13:03See the arrogance of Buff counting along with the referee that time.

01:13:06Bryan Adams that time put the brakes on.

01:13:09Forearm shot put Buff down to one knee, but Buff undaunted.

01:13:12Comes right back, snap mirrors him over.

01:13:14And a rear chin lock applied here to Bryan Adams.

01:13:17Very sound strategy when you gotta man the size of Bryan Adams to keep him on the mat.

01:13:22And that's what Buff's attempted to do a couple of times.

01:13:25And Buff Bagwell, you're never gonna sell this man short as an athlete.

01:13:30Between the years, he can be distracted, make no mistake about it.

01:13:34But from the neck down, the guy is 100% Buff.

01:13:39Don't ever forget that.

01:13:40It's hard to remember sometimes.

01:13:42This guy is fully put together.

01:13:43And he's now a ten year veteran of this great sported up double clothesline.

01:13:49Desperation move that time by Adams.

01:13:51In the grasp of Buff Bagwell and Buff down and Buff as you can see.

01:13:55All he can to roll up on his front side, Adams already up.

01:13:58Who's gonna get to his feet first battle?

01:14:01The two of the greats here in WCW blocked.

01:14:04Adams firing back with the right hand, blocked it for Buff.

01:14:07Make that two across the top of the head, and Adam finally coming back on Buff that.

01:14:11Look at the size of Bryan Adams.

01:14:13Buff a big guy, tilt the world backbreaker that time across the knee.

01:14:17Buff a big guy, but Adams just towers over him, and he runs over Buff again.

01:14:21Looking for revenge from the, I was gonna say from his partner, for his partner.

01:14:28Speaking of partners, here is one of them totally fine.

01:14:32Wait a minute.

01:14:33Look at Bryan Clark.

01:14:34What's he doing here?

01:14:35Bryan Clark was supposed to be banned from the building.

01:14:38I thought he was injured.

01:14:39Concussion, stitches.

01:14:41We thought he was down, we thought he was missing.

01:14:43Look at Bryan, cleared to be here.

01:14:46That chair shot from that.

01:14:48Buff, Kabashi DDT, the Butterfly DDT, is that it?

01:14:52One, two.

01:14:53No. No, a kick out on the inside and a kick out.

01:14:56Bryan Clark is just annihilating Lex Luger at ringside.

01:15:00No, wait a minute.

01:15:01It's animal.

01:15:02It's animal.

01:15:03The bodyguard.

01:15:04The man who did the damage, who opened up the man's head last Wednesday.

01:15:08Move, move.

01:15:09But doubles him up again.

01:15:10What a vicious tear shot that was on Thunder.

01:15:13Go behind, full nuts and on Buff.

01:15:15No.

01:15:16What happened?

01:15:20Who's ringing the bell?

01:15:22What is going on?

01:15:24What have we got off?

01:15:27I saw the referee, Mickie J.

01:15:29He's calling the bell.

01:15:30He was pointing to his watch.

01:15:32Can we run out of time?

01:15:33It must be the time to draw.

01:15:35We said one for 10 minutes, we talked about it.

01:15:38Quick.

01:15:39And this one's gonna end in a draw.

01:15:42And look at this carnage.

01:15:44Chronic.

01:15:45Clark on the outside, Adams on the inside.

01:15:47They are really softened up.

01:15:49No substitutions in 13 days at Super Brawl Revenge.

01:15:53Hold on.

01:15:54They're not done, Scott.

01:15:55Come on.

01:15:56Clark is down.

01:15:57Thanks to Red Warrior Animal.

01:15:58No.

01:15:59And the double team, they're gonna put Adams up in the torture act.

01:16:01Clark already with a busted head on the outside.

01:16:04Not so sure if he's medically released or not.

01:16:07And now look at this.

01:16:08Double teaming, the helpless Bryan Adams.

01:16:10They put Goldberg out of the sport.

01:16:12And Chronic may be next on their list.

01:16:15One can stop Totally Buffed.

01:16:19Look at Clark.

01:16:20He shouldn't have ever come back into the scene again.

01:16:23Chronic has been wiped out by Totally Buffed.

01:16:26In only 13 days, can Adams and Clark rebound, get healthy again,

01:16:31to go into Super Brawl Revenge.

01:16:33Look at this.

01:16:34That's Bryan Clark once again writhing in agony.

01:16:37At the hands of Totally Buffed, the Road Warrior Animal.

01:16:41Clark's emotions stronger than his reason, my God.

01:16:45What type of shape is he and how is he?

01:16:47Has he been opened up again?

01:16:49We're gonna have to check on Bryan Clark.

01:16:52Let's take a look at what went down earlier on, Road Warrior Animal.

01:16:55Take it, Clark.

01:16:57That left shoulder into the unforgiving steel ring depth and Clark's head bouncing off that

01:17:01lowest step and there you see Bryan Clark.

01:17:03What kind of shape is he gonna be in at Super Brawl Revenge?

01:17:07I'm worried about my CEO job.

01:17:09I'm worried about the road championship.

01:17:10Don't worry about it, man.

01:17:11Did you see when I did this thing?

01:17:12Booker T, Sid, I hurt them all.

01:17:13I'm gonna hurt Kevin Nash tonight.

01:17:14I know you're the man, but they got that no interference rule on this thing.

01:17:15No interference?

01:17:16Yeah, no interference.

01:17:17Flick.

01:17:18All right, Bryan Adams, you talk about controversy, what we just saw out there.

01:17:25You had Buff Bagwell beat.

01:17:27The time limit expired, but I think more importantly, we found out just how tough your partner Bryan Clark really is.

01:17:33That's no surprise to me, Gene.

01:17:34You see, guys, you just don't get it, do you?

01:17:36You can do whatever you want to us.

01:17:38You can keep beating us down, but all you're doing is making us stronger.

01:17:42We're just gonna keep coming and coming and getting worse.

01:17:44All right, Bryan Adams, you talk about controversy, what we just saw out there.

01:17:47You had Buff Bagwell beat.

01:17:48The time limit expired, but I think more importantly, we found out just how tough your partner Bryan Clark really is.

01:17:53That's no surprise to me, Gene.

01:17:55You see, guys, you just don't get it, do you?

01:17:58It's making us stronger.

01:17:59We're just gonna keep coming and coming and getting worse and worse, just like a bad dream.

01:18:06Hey, Luger, you think you gotta come out and save your partner?

01:18:10You gotta watch his back?

01:18:11Why don't you really step up to the plate and face me at Thunder?

01:18:14Yeah, and go ahead and bring Buffy with you, because you're gonna need somebody to zip up the body bag when I'm done with your-

01:18:20Well, one more question here, just a second.

01:18:22Ric Flair is gonna be- Hold on, Gene, I gotta check on my partner.

01:18:24I think he's hurt.

01:18:25All right, Bryan Adams, you heard what he said.

01:18:27He wants Luger this Wednesday night on Thunder, and coming up next right here, get ready.

01:18:32If Kevin Nash wins, Ric Flair is done as CEO of WCW.

01:18:38And if Kevin Nash wins, he will become the world heavyweight champion.

01:18:43Who is his mystery partner going to be?

01:18:46We're gonna find out in a few moments.

01:18:48But on the other end, an overly competent world heavyweight champion.

01:18:52It's his third match tonight.

01:18:54Can Scott Steiner survive?

01:18:56Nash and a mystery partner next.

01:18:57This portion of WCW Monday Nitro live off TNT brought to you by 1-800-COLLECT.

01:19:04It's the easy way to say there's been nothing easy for Scott Steiner here tonight.

01:19:10But he comes out still the world champ with his title, with Flair's leadership on the line all in one night.

01:19:18A reminder, as soon as this telecast is over, to log on to WCW.com and join Jeremy Borash and Bob Ryder for WCW Live.

01:19:27They'll be taking your calls and your comments about this telecast and maybe some behind the scenes final words about what's going on in the locker room area.

01:19:35Here he comes, Big Papa Pup.

01:19:37He's a man's man.

01:19:38He's proved it here tonight.

01:19:40Absolutely.

01:19:41The cat and Kevin Nash had a plan, but Scott Steiner was up to it.

01:19:46Earlier tonight, Big Papa Pup took on four Cruiserweight.

01:19:51And you saw the carnage.

01:19:53Triple Steiner recliner.

01:19:55He did it.

01:19:56He won the match.

01:19:57He was stood phase one.

01:19:59But then Diamond Dallas with the diamond cutter.

01:20:03And the plan was working.

01:20:05Tire him out, but the Cruiserweights soften him up with the diamond cutter.

01:20:10And right now, it's lilac time for the World Heavyweight Champion.

01:20:15Who is the mystery man?

01:20:17The cat told Kevin Nash, you can pick anyone.

01:20:20And this all began when Kevin Nash took the CEO of the Boss hostage, if you will.

01:20:26Little payback for the hoops that Nash has had to jump through to get to Super Brawl Revenge.

01:20:33But the fact remains, he's going to Super Brawl Revenge in 13 days on pay per deal.

01:20:40But he may go as the World Heavyweight Champion.

01:20:43And he may go as the man who dethroned Ric Flair Heavyweight tonight.

01:20:48What a destiny Kevin Nash has in the palm of his hand.

01:20:54You know Steiner, you're probably wondering who I picked as my special partner tonight.

01:21:00We all are.

01:21:01You had any idea what the line looked like?

01:21:06The guys that wanted to get a piece of you.

01:21:09But you know what?

01:21:10When I was kicking it with K-Dawg back in the Wolf Pack, we talked about Familia.

01:21:15So tonight, my partner is Familia.

01:21:18He's your Familia.

01:21:20I picked your brother, Rick.

01:21:22Whoa!

01:21:23He picked his brother!

01:21:25And look at this!

01:21:26What a shocker!

01:21:28The new United States Heavyweight Champion!

01:21:31Brother against Brother on Nitro!

01:21:34He said he was his best friend from his hometown.

01:21:40Look at this!

01:21:41What could be going through the mind of Scott Steiner right now?

01:21:45To defend his title, to defend Ric Flair's leadership against Kevin Nash and his own brother!

01:21:52Can he survive this tonight?

01:21:54You heard the World Champion, what are you doing?

01:21:56And Rick Steiner said, we're gonna fight and fight.

01:21:59They do, we're on!

01:22:00They've done this in the backyard, but you're right, Scott.

01:22:03We are on.

01:22:04And Big Papa Pump wasting no time nailing his brother just like it will be any other man in the ring.

01:22:11He's assaulting his brother in the corner.

01:22:14This is for all of them, Mark.

01:22:15It's one thing to fight over a bicycle, but this, he blocked it!

01:22:19He blocked the Wall of Thunder and planted Scott Steiner!

01:22:24Has anyone ever blocked the champion right?

01:22:26What did he do?

01:22:27Oh!

01:22:28Elbow-shuttle-forehand in a Steiner line on Steiner!

01:22:30And outside goes Scott Steiner.

01:22:33What is going through the mind of Ric Flair?

01:22:35He must be beside himself right now, knowing that Ric Steiner, the US champ,

01:22:40is in there with Kevin Nash.

01:22:43Right now, Ric Flair may be calling a corporate moving company to get his stuff

01:22:47out of the corner office.

01:22:48He may see the commissioner, or rather, the CEO.

01:22:52That job go right through his fingers right now.

01:22:55He did not plan on Ric Steiner.

01:22:57No one did.

01:22:58Kevin Nash pulled a huge swerve, and brother against brother.

01:23:02With so much on the line.

01:23:04Over the top.

01:23:05The world title is on the line.

01:23:07He's gonna do that to his own brother.

01:23:10The world title is on the line.

01:23:12We've got the leadership, the CO's job on the line, the destiny.

01:23:17A WCW is hanging in the balance here.

01:23:21Look at Steiner.

01:23:22Because he is begging off of Kevin Nash.

01:23:24He's never done that.

01:23:26And Kevin Nash will buy none of it.

01:23:29Kevin Nash isn't gonna give any sympathy to Scott Steiner.

01:23:32He was gonna cave in Ric Steiner's head with a steel chair.

01:23:35Down goes Steiner to one knee.

01:23:39And Kevin Nash lays it in.

01:23:41Ric was dumped on his head on the outside.

01:23:43So this basically is now a one-on-one matchup.

01:23:46And into Medeja on the apron.

01:23:48Medeja's been low bridge.

01:23:51And that will turn this thing completely around.

01:23:54Sudden stop from the world heavyweight champion.

01:23:57And Kevin Nash is still standing.

01:24:00I don't know how.

01:24:01The great equalizer.

01:24:02He is still up here.

01:24:03Down he goes down.

01:24:04Nash down.

01:24:07Scott Steiner.

01:24:08What coward.

01:24:10And what arrogance to boot.

01:24:13As you saw Ric Steiner in your screen, finally pulling himself up.

01:24:17Scott Steiner in the midst of all this on the line.

01:24:20Spitted his own brother.

01:24:21He spitted his own brother.

01:24:22I don't have to tell you that no matter how big you are,

01:24:26you can be seven feet, 300 plus.

01:24:28But a low blow like that is a neutralizer, is an equalizer.

01:24:33And Kevin Nash is still down on the canvas.

01:24:36But Ric Steiner, look at face gambling, trying to get back in that ring.

01:24:40He wants to stand his own brother.

01:24:42Everything on the shoulders of Scott Steiner, the power in WCW.

01:24:46The world title, very broad shoulders for it to stand on right now.

01:24:50Ric Steiner as a cheerleader.

01:24:52As Scott Steiner once again spats at his brother.

01:24:55Look at this.

01:24:56The world heavyweight championship on the line.

01:24:59The CEO job of Ric Flair on the line.

01:25:03Maybe the future of world championship wrestling on the line here.

01:25:08Blocked by Nash.

01:25:10Nash comes back, reverses it in.

01:25:13Scott Steiner thinking what the world champion has gone through to even get here.

01:25:17Four cruiserweights, diamond down his cage, a diamond cutter.

01:25:20And look, he puts the brakes on and hammers Kevin Nash down to the mat.

01:25:24Look at this world champion go.

01:25:26This is his third match.

01:25:28And look at his strength.

01:25:29What strength displayed by Scott Steiner.

01:25:32One, two, no.

01:25:35Nash rolled a shoulder, but just barely.

01:25:38After two other matches, Scott, he lifts a 330-pound move like that.

01:25:43This is his third match.

01:25:44The guy is a freak.

01:25:46No question about it.

01:25:48All right, Nash holds his own.

01:25:50Nash can become a world champion.

01:25:52This could be it.

01:25:53This could be it.

01:25:54Jumped it down.

01:25:55Nash couldn't make a cover.

01:25:58Doesn't have anything left.

01:25:59Nash with a great move, but could not make a cover.

01:26:02The Dogface Grimlin desperately wants in this one.

01:26:07Kevin Nash doing everything he can to soften up the world champion.

01:26:11Look at that.

01:26:12Steiner is gonna get the snake out.

01:26:15Head burst.

01:26:18The new United States Champion on the outside, Kenny Inspire, a new world champion.

01:26:23Flip to the face.

01:26:25What if Rick Steiner gets the pitfalls?

01:26:28What does that mean?

01:26:29Does that mean he's the world champion?

01:26:30We let him find out.

01:26:31He gave the cue.

01:26:33He said, drop the straps, and he's gonna do it.

01:26:35With the US Champion looking on, we're gonna have a new world champion.

01:26:39We're gonna have the end of Ric Flair.

01:26:42That's it.

01:26:43That's it.

01:26:44It's over.

01:26:45It's over.

01:26:46It's over.

01:26:47One, two, and one.

01:26:49What the hell was that?

01:26:51No, no.

01:26:53The US Champion.

01:26:56He betrayed.

01:26:58He let his own brother take the jackknife.

01:27:01One, two, three.

01:27:03No, no.

01:27:04What did we just see, Tony?

01:27:06We saw blood being thicker than water.

01:27:09It's the old addicts.

01:27:11No.

01:27:12But it rings hard and true here.

01:27:14Flair is still the CEO.

01:27:16There is no honor among thieves.

01:27:18And no, this is disgusting.

01:27:19No, look at this.

01:27:20Insult to injury.

01:27:22Flair is still the CEO.

01:27:24Scott Steiner is still the world champion.

01:27:26And what is ever left of Kevin Nash.

01:27:28And it may not be much.

01:27:30We'll have to pick up the pieces in 13 days when the world title's on the line.

01:27:35Kevin's gonna get his shot at revenge at Super Bowl.

01:27:37Revenge on Scott Steiner.

01:27:39And the Steiner brothers are united again.

01:27:42And they are on top of the world.

01:27:44Once the world champ, the other is the US Heavyweight champ.

01:27:48What did he say?

01:27:49I got some more left.

01:27:50I'm your Huckleberry.

01:27:51What's up?

01:27:52Who is that?

01:27:53The J-Bos didn't finish the job either.

01:27:54Uh-oh.

01:27:55DDP.

01:27:56Here he comes with a chair to the ring.

01:27:57He's coming to the ring.

01:27:59He's coming to the ring.

01:28:00He's coming to the ring.

01:28:01He's coming to the ring.

01:28:02He's coming to the ring.

01:28:03The J-Bos didn't finish the job either.

01:28:07Uh-oh.

01:28:08DDP.

01:28:09Here he comes with a chair to the ring.

01:28:13He's coming to the ring.
