00:00:00WCW Monday Night's Row is on the air live, and we started out with a bang for weeks.

00:00:08The man you're looking at, Dustin Rhodes, has been trying to find his spot here in WCW.

00:00:13But Ric Flair, the boss, after one went down in Baltimore two weeks ago,

00:00:17has refused to put him on the roster.

00:00:19But tonight, the catch, the commissioner has taken his own route to put Dustin back

00:00:24in the ring, and you're seated right now, unannounced, Scott Hudson against Rick Steiner.

00:00:29And we are seeing a brawl.

00:00:31We're seeing a back alley fight, not a wrestling match.

00:00:34This one got jump-started.

00:00:36The catch, whoa!

00:00:39Dustin Rhodes leveling the United States heavyweight champion.

00:00:43You know the story, Ric Flair wanted Dustin to be on his side.

00:00:47But in Baltimore, Dustin came out, said he would be his own man.

00:00:51Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, hey.

00:00:53What's this?

00:00:54Hey, Rhodes, what are you doing?

00:03:17What about this, don't you understand?

00:03:19I am the most powerful man in the world.

00:03:24We, me, the Magnificent Seven, we run the world, and I'm dead serious.

00:03:41Oh, God!

00:03:48I'm ready.

00:03:49I'm ready.

00:03:50I'm ready.

00:03:51What?

00:03:52I'm ready.

00:03:53I'm ready.

00:03:54I'm ready.

00:03:55Put that music on.

00:04:00Hey, Ric Flair, have you lost your damn mind?

00:04:06I'm going to tell you something.

00:04:08I reinstated Dustin because I'm the commissioner and I can do that.

00:04:15And you mean to tell me you're going to go and try to undo what I put together?

00:04:20I tell you what.

00:04:21I'm going to reinstate one other thing.

00:04:23I'm going to reinstate my foot in your ass right there.

00:04:25Yeah, yeah, you do.

00:04:26You do that.

00:04:28You come on down here right now.

00:04:29You know why?

00:04:30Because you got a match.

00:04:32I'm tired of you interfering.

00:04:33I'm tired of you running your mouth.

00:04:35I'm tired of you moving.

00:04:37You got a match tonight.

00:04:38No, wait a minute.

00:04:39Right now.

00:04:39I'm here with him.

00:04:41I don't have a match.

00:04:42You got a match.

00:04:44I need time to get ready for a match.

00:04:46You got a match.

00:04:47Look right there for the commissionership.

00:04:50That's right.

00:04:51For the commissionership.

00:04:54You got a match.

00:04:55And you know what?

00:04:56Can't watch this.

00:04:57To make sure there's no outside interference.

00:05:01To make sure it's fair and square.

00:05:03We got a special referee.

00:05:13Yeah.

00:05:14That's right, Cat.

00:05:16You made the mistake of opening your mouth again.

00:05:20You and the commissionership are going to part company tonight, pal.

00:05:24You're through.

00:05:25You're going to be just a regular Joe Blow on the street.

00:05:29Referee, you make the right calls, ref.

00:05:36That's it.

00:05:42That's it.

00:05:44Your commissionership.

00:05:47Right now, three minutes.

00:05:53You better be ready to go.

00:05:58Rick, Rick, animal.

00:06:00Rick, animal.

00:06:01Leave him alone.

00:06:02Hey, leave him alone, Rick.

00:06:03Don't hurt him.

00:06:04He's got his own match tonight.

00:06:06Animal.

00:06:06As Ric Flair walks away with the U.S. champion in Road Warrior Animal and the special referee,

00:06:14Dustin Rhodes was sent out of here once again by Ric Flair.

00:06:18The cat told Flair why he put Dustin in.

00:06:21And now the cat here on this program tonight must face Lance Storm with the former commissioner,

00:06:27Mike Sanders, the referee for the commissionership.

00:06:30Ric Flair got pushed to his limit by the cat.

00:06:34He brought Dustin Rhodes back, he being the cat.

00:06:37Flair couldn't take it.

00:06:38And tonight, the cat's commissionership is on the line against Lance Storm.

00:06:44And you saw Ric Flair.

00:06:45He put Mike Sanders as the special guest referee and the magnificent seven, as he calls them,

00:06:51are no doubt going to be around this ring somewhere.

00:06:54You heard what Ric Flair said to the cat.

00:06:56He said, you've got three minutes.

00:06:58The cat is in his street clothes.

00:06:59And that means when we come back, coming up next, as we're six days down from Super Brawl,

00:07:05the commissionership of WCW is on the line.

00:07:09The cat will go up against Lance Storm, leader of Team Canada.

00:07:14And Mike Sanders, the special referee, don't you dare go anywhere.

00:07:17This portion of WCW Monday Night Raw on TNT, brought to you by Burger King.

00:07:28Got the urge?

00:07:30Well, there's an urge going down here tonight.

00:07:33The cat, three clothes and all, is gonna be in the ring with his commissionership on the line.

00:07:38But we're only two weeks away from February 26th.

00:07:41We want you to be part of the wildest five-week party ever as we bring you WCW's road to Spring Breakout 2001.

00:07:48We kick off all the action in just two weeks from Mardi Gras in New Orleans with the biggest face in town, WCW Pardi Gras.

00:07:55We make our way to Spring Breakout 2001 in Panama City Beach at the Boardwalk Beach Resort.

00:08:03Let's go backstage.

00:08:06Hey, what's up with that stunt you pulled last week with El Nino?

00:08:09You give me some story about you and my dad going down to Mexico to scout somebody especially for me?

00:08:15Somebody to make me look good?

00:08:16And all the while is Rey Mysterio underneath that mask?

00:08:19Does you know who I am?

00:08:19I'm the Cruiserweight Champion.

00:08:21That made me look so bad.

00:08:23Yeah, listen, I know.

00:08:24I know how you feel.

00:08:24And by the way, it made me hurt inside.

00:08:26Because I'm the one that put that deal together.

00:08:28Here's what's wrong.

00:08:29And here's what happened.

00:08:30Mysterio got wind of it.

00:08:32He got to the kid.

00:08:33He made his own deal.

00:08:34He got in the ring.

00:08:35I'm sorry.

00:08:36I'll let you down.

00:08:37But I'm gonna make it up to you.

00:08:38I'm gonna make sure you get him back before Super Bowl.

00:08:41I know who you are.

00:08:42I know you're the champ.

00:08:43And you'll get your revenge.

00:08:44I promise.

00:08:45Have the faith.

00:08:47Keep faith.

00:08:48You look at the cat, Scott Hudson, street clothes and all.

00:08:53And look at the man he's in the face of.

00:08:56The man who used to be the commissioner.

00:08:58He's got an agenda you know against the cat.

00:09:00Mike Sanders at one time commissioner of World Championship Wrestling.

00:09:03You know he would like nothing better than to be in the corner office one more time.

00:09:07But that man has the golden opportunity tonight.

00:09:10Lance Storm and the cat for the cat's commissionership.

00:09:14Look at this.

00:09:18Already beginning.

00:09:19Ric Flair is watching this closely.

00:09:21You saw him standing in the back search area with a monitor in the cat.

00:09:25Red shoes and all.

00:09:26Must go.

00:09:27Look at this.

00:09:28He's going to the referee.

00:09:30In an undercut.

00:09:31Sending Sanders down.

00:09:33But he turned his back on Lance Storm and is now paying the price.

00:09:36Up the clothesline.

00:09:37The cat realizes he cannot get a fair shake.

00:09:41So he attacks the referee.

00:09:43And the referee didn't even throw this thing out.

00:09:47And the referee attacks the cat.

00:09:49He threw a haymaker instead.

00:09:51The cat did not know this match was going down.

00:09:54He walked out as commissioner.

00:09:55And now has that drop on the line.

00:09:58Double DDT.

00:09:59Ric Flair said no interference.

00:10:01Does it count?

00:10:02Is the referee or not?

00:10:05Elbow on both men.

00:10:06And he's got him.

00:10:07Pitting combination here.

00:10:09One.

00:10:10Two.

00:10:11He kicked out that time.

00:10:14Did Lance Storm.

00:10:15A jawbreaker.

00:10:17Can the cat pull this out?

00:10:19Against.

00:10:19And a handicap matchup.

00:10:21With his commissioner's jab on the line.

00:10:23Standing feline.

00:10:24Got him down.

00:10:25The referee though took the high knee.

00:10:28He's nowhere to be seen.

00:10:30There's a two and even a three.

00:10:32Even more.

00:10:33And Lance Storm still not getting up here.

00:10:35Neither is the referee Mike Sander.

00:10:38The cat giving him a hand.

00:10:39What's he doing to him?

00:10:40Good night.

00:10:42He's trying to take off this referee shirt.

00:10:46Oh!

00:10:48Standing sidekick.

00:10:49Wiped him out.

00:10:50He's got the leg.

00:10:52He's got the Canadian Maple Leaf.

00:10:53He's calling the bell quickly.

00:10:55Wait a minute.

00:10:56The cat.

00:10:56He was shaking his head.

00:11:01Oh, he was railroaded.

00:11:02I didn't see a submission at all.

00:11:05He was railroaded.

00:11:06And Lance Storm has his hand raised.

00:11:09He's the new commissioner of WCW.

00:11:12What does this mean?

00:11:13For World Championship Wrestling.

00:11:15Lance Storm is the commissioner just like that.

00:11:18The cat did not know this was going to go down.

00:11:20All right.

00:11:21All right.

00:11:23Hail the new commissioner.

00:11:27Hail the new commissioner.

00:11:30Only one thing wrong, guys.

00:11:33Hey, everybody, look at this.

00:11:36This is WCW.

00:11:40And, guys, I would never ask you to do me a favor.

00:11:44But I'm so tired and worn out by the cat.

00:11:47Let's just go down there and make mincemeat out of him right now.

00:11:55I got a little.

00:11:56I got a little.

00:12:04Powering him.

00:12:05Ricky, I want you to cross-face him.

00:12:07Put the sugar on him.

00:12:09I want you to tear him up.

00:12:17You understand, Cat?

00:12:19Hey, guys.

00:12:20You understand, brother?

00:12:22Tonight, Camillo.

00:12:23Hey, guys.

00:12:24Tonight.

00:12:24I wouldn't do that if I was you.

00:12:32I wouldn't do that if I was you.

00:12:35Back it up.

00:12:38What do you want?

00:12:40You want to come out here and be a dead man, too?

00:12:42Come on.

00:12:44Come on.

00:12:44Jump on somebody.

00:12:46Come on.

00:12:48I don't think you're running a show here, Rick.

00:12:51I don't think you've got all your bases covered.

00:12:53I got them all covered.

00:12:54One, two, three, four, five, six.

00:12:59I got them all covered.

00:13:00Come on down here, big man.

00:13:02Try it.

00:13:03Aren't you missing something?

00:13:04No.

00:13:05Didn't you forget one thing?

00:13:06No.

00:13:07Are you sure?

00:13:08We got all the belts.

00:13:10We got all the power.

00:13:12We got all the money.

00:13:14We got it all.

00:13:15And next thing you know, we're going to have your seven-foot ass.

00:13:21How about that?

00:13:22There's one thing I got, Rick.

00:13:24What?

00:13:25Come on.

00:13:27Come on.

00:13:28Come on.

00:13:29Oh, he's alive.

00:13:37Don't worry.

00:13:38He's still alive.

00:13:39Just beat up pretty good.

00:13:42You know what?

00:13:43Flair, I'm running the show.

00:13:46I'm the boss tonight.

00:13:48This isn't funny, Nash.

00:13:49I'm making the demand.

00:13:51I know this kid's 21 years old.

00:13:54He's still probably on your insurance.

00:13:56And you don't want to have to pay the bill when I'm done with him.

00:13:59So you listen to me, and you do what you're told tonight.

00:14:03And what you did with the cat, that was wrong.

00:14:07So at Super Brawl, my number one demand is,

00:14:11Lance Storm takes on the cat for the commissionership.

00:14:15You got it?

00:14:16I can't hear you.

00:14:23Nash, I'll do whatever you want, but don't hit him again.

00:14:28I'm not playing this game again.

00:14:29Leave my kid out of this.

00:14:31You've already done enough.

00:14:32You took...

00:14:33This is getting serious.

00:14:35You got the match.

00:14:36You got the match.

00:14:37You got the match.

00:14:39Yes!

00:14:40You got it.

00:14:41Shut up.

00:14:42Damn it all.

00:14:44Well, that was easy enough.

00:14:46You got the match.

00:14:47Number two.

00:14:49You also bone Dustin Rhodes tonight.

00:14:52You get him back, and you give him a match against Rick Steiner tonight.

00:14:57He's already gone.

00:14:59He's left the building.

00:15:00That seems like a personal problem of yours, not mine.

00:15:04The thing is this.

00:15:05When he does come back, if he wins, and he will, not only is he reinstated on the roster of WCW,

00:15:17but if he wins, I get a shot tonight for the belt against Scott Steiner.

00:15:24Oh, yeah.

00:15:25Oh, yeah.

00:15:26Oh, yeah.

00:15:27Oh, yeah.

00:15:28Oh, yeah.

00:15:29Just do it.

00:15:30Say yes.

00:15:31Are you...

00:15:32Steiner will kill me!

00:15:33Don't!

00:15:34Leave my kid alone, dammit!

00:15:35You see how thin this kid's neck is?

00:15:37You know, Steiner!

00:15:38Do it!

00:15:39Do it!

00:15:40Make the matches!

00:15:41Yes!

00:15:42Steiner!

00:15:43Worthy!

00:15:44Rick, I'll talk to you.

00:15:45I'll talk to Scott.

00:15:46Yes, don't touch him, please.

00:15:47Please.

00:15:48Please.

00:15:49Please.

00:15:50Back away from Kat, too.

00:15:52Please.

00:15:53Rick, I'll talk to Scott.

00:15:55I know.

00:15:56I know.

00:15:57I know.

00:15:58I know.

00:15:59I know.

00:16:00I know.

00:16:01But you tell me what to do.

00:16:02That's the way it's going to be tonight.

00:16:03I'm saying please.

00:16:04I'm saying please.

00:16:05And don't even come looking for me, because you won't find me.

00:16:08I've had it with you guys.

00:16:09You're running things on my terms now.

00:16:10You want to be bullies?

00:16:11You want to think you're running the show?

00:16:12Please.

00:16:13I'm running the show.

00:16:14I'm the man.

00:16:15Nobody else.

00:16:16If I have to take him out to prove it, then that's just what I'll do.

00:16:29If I got to hurt him to hurt you, I'll do it.

00:16:35I'm going to get my wish tonight, and I'm going to get Steiner.

00:16:40And I'm going to get Steiner.

00:16:44I'm going to get Steiner, and I'm going to get that belt.

00:16:48I'm going to make things right around here.

00:16:51I guarantee you all.

00:17:00I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll talk to Steiner.

00:17:14What are you doing standing here?

00:17:28You've got to find him. I've got to have him on the show.

00:17:31You can just stand around and go find him.

00:17:33What if he's not here? What if he's already left?

00:17:35What do you mean what if he's not here?

00:17:36You better hope for your sake that the fact that that isn't the case.

00:17:39He's got to be here. My kid's neck's on the line.

00:17:42Steiner's out of his mind. You've got to find him.

00:17:44It ain't what if. Come on.

00:17:46I'm going. You want the Steiner's?

00:17:48I'm going. You want the Steiner's?

00:17:49I don't want him on me. You find him.

00:17:51It's my kid.

00:17:52Hey, let's go.

00:17:53This is what I'm looking for.

00:17:55The world tag team champions.

00:17:57And great ones of that, aren't they?

00:17:59Unbelievable. The world tag team champions.

00:18:01We're a poor young future. Let me shake you guys' hands.

00:18:03We got a lot going on tonight.

00:18:04How you doing, buddy?

00:18:05So serious stuff.

00:18:06The boss, Ric Flair, he's had his eye on you guys for a long time.

00:18:10A long time.

00:18:11And thanks very highly to you guys.

00:18:13High.

00:18:14He wants you guys with the gold.

00:18:15And we have it all.

00:18:16All the gold.

00:18:17All the gold.

00:18:18We are part of the brand new WCW.

00:18:21Think about it.

00:18:22All of us together.

00:18:23Here's the best part about it all.

00:18:24Don't be overwhelmed.

00:18:25You can think about it.

00:18:26Don't answer us now.

00:18:27You ain't got to give us an answer right now.

00:18:28Think about it and get back to us.

00:18:30All the gold.

00:18:31You guys are great.

00:18:32Dustin.

00:18:33Dustin.

00:18:34Dustin.

00:18:35You in here?

00:18:36Dustin.

00:18:37Not down there.

00:18:38Dustin.

00:18:39Dustin.

00:18:40Hey, champ.

00:18:41Been looking for you.

00:18:42You won't, man.

00:18:43Get on out of here.

00:18:44Hey, look, man.

00:18:45I have got some good news for you, right?

00:18:47Mr. Flair has decided to give you a match with Rick Steiner.

00:18:49And here's the best part.

00:18:50If you beat Rick Steiner, you're reinstated.

00:18:51Now you shut up and listen to me.

00:18:52The only reason Flair wants me out there is to save his punk son.

00:18:54Well, I've got other plans tonight.

00:18:55So you take that message to him and tell him that.

00:18:56Look, no, no, no.

00:18:57You don't understand Mr. Flair, okay?

00:18:58He feels a little harsh.

00:18:59I understand Flair.

00:19:00So shut your head up.

00:19:01You don't understand Mr. Flair, okay?

00:19:02He feels a little harsh.

00:19:03I understand Flair.

00:19:04So shut your head up.

00:19:05You don't understand Mr. Flair.

00:19:06You don't understand Mr. Flair.

00:19:07You don't understand Mr. Flair.

00:19:08You don't understand Mr. Flair.

00:19:09So you take that message to him and tell him that.

00:19:11Look, no, no.

00:19:12You don't understand Mr. Flair, okay?

00:19:14He feels a little harsh.

00:19:15I understand Flair.

00:19:16So shut your mouth.

00:19:18It'll be a cold day in hell before I get my butt out there in that rain tonight.

00:19:22You understand?

00:19:23Take that message to Mr. Slick Rick Flair.

00:19:25Get out of here before I wrap this around your head.

00:19:28Now go on, get.

00:19:29Get!

00:19:34Oh, this is gonna be fun.

00:19:36It's good to have Kevin Nash as a buddy.

00:19:39So the question is tonight, will it happen?

00:19:42Will Dustin Rhodes meet Rick Steiner tonight?

00:19:45Or will David Flair meet his maker?

00:19:49The answer is to come up as we continue on Monday Nitro.

00:19:56We're back and the drama has been unfolding over the last couple of segments here

00:20:00on this live edition of WCW Monday Nitro.

00:20:03The fact is, Kevin Nash is now the man, along with Dustin as we saw in the back, having the boss squirm.

00:20:11Dustin Rhodes has a chance to get reinstated if in fact he agrees to face Rick Steiner.

00:20:18If he wins, he gets reinstated.

00:20:20And if he wins tonight, Scott, then Kevin Nash will get a chance to go in the ring with Scott Steiner.

00:20:26Rick Flair had to agree to it when his son was in the clutches of Kevin Nash.

00:20:31All the cards are currently held by Dustin Rhodes and Kevin Nash.

00:20:37David Flair, a bruised and battered mess somewhere here in the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi.

00:20:45He's got David Held hostage.

00:20:47He had Rick Flair up against the wall, almost literally.

00:20:51And tonight, will Dustin Rhodes accept the match against Rick Steiner?

00:20:58Kevin Nash demanded it.

00:20:59Dustin Rhodes could say, forget about it.

00:21:01What happened to David Flair then?

00:21:04Many questions that hopefully will get answered within the course of this telecast.

00:21:10One other stipulation that Nash had demanded and Flair agreed to was that the Cat would get a rematch against the new commissioner Lance Storm.

00:21:19As earlier you saw, the Cat getting railroaded out of the title of commissioner of WCW.

00:21:25Have to mention, Dustin Rhodes backstage in the dressing room.

00:21:28A little smirk on his face, and he said it's good to have Kevin Nash as a buddy.

00:21:33How long are they gonna keep Mike Sanders and Rick Flair dangling like a fish on the end of the line?

00:21:40As that unfolds, we continue with the great action.

00:21:44Lash, LaRue, and Yang of the Young Dragons in a one-on-one qualifying match.

00:21:50Two of the top cruiserweights in the world.

00:21:52One of these men will go on in the six-man, four-corners elimination match.

00:21:56That's only six days out at Super Brawl.

00:21:59Two men are already in.

00:22:01Shannon Moore, a three-count.

00:22:02Cash high out there, the Young Dragons.

00:22:04One of these men will go on.

00:22:06And the remaining men, the remaining three men will be decided during the course of this telecast and Thunder on Wednesday on TBS.

00:22:14Notoriously stealing the show.

00:22:17Night after night, the Cruiserweights in World Championship Wrestling and two of the finest in there right now.

00:22:22Yang and Lash, LaRue.

00:22:24Look at Yang with a balance.

00:22:27Being held by Lash, LaRue, and a pick up and up.

00:22:30Back in the center of the ring.

00:22:33The winner of that six-man, four-corners elimination match will be one of the top contenders for the Cruiserweight title.

00:22:40And we'll get the next Cruiserweight title shot from the champion, a great manipulator in his own right, Chavo Guerrero Jr.

00:22:47But Chavo Guerrero Jr. must face off in six days against Ray Mysterio Jr.

00:22:52And we saw Ray pull the wall over Chavo's eyes last week with the El Nino rule.

00:22:58And Chavo, as we saw earlier, not too happy about it.

00:23:01Yang to the eyes of Lash, LaRue staggered the former member of MIA back to a neutral corner.

00:23:07Yang, perch kicking, flying, oh!

00:23:09Walks right up the frontside, kicks him in the jaw, and then falls back to the mat.

00:23:14They call it high risk for a reason. Yang walked up the frontside, fell back into the ring.

00:23:20Brained himself, but look at how quickly he recovered. Over the top goes Lash, LaRue.

00:23:24Wonder what's going to the mind of Ric Flair right now. You know he's scared, he's livid.

00:23:28He's a man who likes to be in control, show his power.

00:23:31But Kevin Nash is in control, emotionally and mentally, here tonight on this telecast.

00:23:38Crossbody over the top. Lash hit very hard beyond the mat that time.

00:23:43And now Yang, back up once again.

00:23:46Watch Yang!

00:23:47Whoa!

00:23:48Moonsault that time again!

00:23:51Both men spill on the outside.

00:23:54Claim Lance, LaRue may have hurt his left shoulder.

00:23:57Timmy Tucker the referee.

00:23:59A side press from the outside to the floor.

00:24:02Wiped out Lash LaRue.

00:24:03One of these two men will advance to the six man, four corners matchup.

00:24:08Sunday night at Super Bowl Revenge.

00:24:11Lash LaRue pulling out all the stops now.

00:24:13Headbutt.

00:24:14Trying to combat anything that Yang can do.

00:24:18And I really think of the two men, Yang is the best high flyer of the two.

00:24:23Lash LaRue, former champion, will send Yang in.

00:24:26Yang with the brakes on.

00:24:28Come on.

00:24:29Lash has him off.

00:24:30What's he gonna do with him now?

00:24:32Whoa!

00:24:33Running front power slam for Lash.

00:24:35Back press.

00:24:36One, two!

00:24:37Go!

00:24:38Yang somehow kicked out, but not with authority.

00:24:42And Yang is still down.

00:24:43Lash LaRue may smell victory here.

00:24:46He may smell a spot coming up someday at Super Bowl.

00:24:49Up on top he goes!

00:24:52Spent too much time up top.

00:24:54The competitive nature of the cruiserweights on any given night.

00:24:58Any man can beat any other man.

00:25:00Who's gonna prevail here?

00:25:01Head scissor take over.

00:25:03And Yang put Lash down.

00:25:05That may have been the last thing Yang had in his arsenal.

00:25:09He has been hammered by Lash LaRue, but Yang so resilient.

00:25:13So much fire in the youngster.

00:25:15One of these men will go on to Super Brawl in Nashville.

00:25:19At the Minnesota Auditorium on pay per view this Sunday.

00:25:23Into the ropes.

00:25:24Yang holding on.

00:25:26Head scissor take over.

00:25:27And out goes Lash LaRue once again.

00:25:29And Yang needed this break to recover.

00:25:32Shake loose the cobwebs.

00:25:33Lash LaRue outside doing the same.

00:25:36But Lash back on his feet.

00:25:38Yang still struggling in the ring.

00:25:40Lash back up.

00:25:43Dries a shoulder into the midsection.

00:25:45Devils over Yang.

00:25:47Lash coming over the top of the ring.

00:25:50One, two, and go!

00:25:52Bonnie Hattie that time.

00:25:53He's got only a two count.

00:25:55And Lash disappointing.

00:25:56He thought the man was down as well.

00:25:58Closest, near, far again of the match.

00:26:00Head Lash to LaRue.

00:26:01Ten limit time limit as we've talked about here on Nitro.

00:26:05And these men have to realize the clock is ticking.

00:26:08A draw doesn't help either man.

00:26:11What goes to the mind of a young man like Lash LaRue

00:26:14knowing he had a great move and maybe could have won the match.

00:26:17But the Yang's back in it.

00:26:18Does he have to rethink his strategy?

00:26:20What will he do?

00:26:21Oh, another version of a power slam.

00:26:22One, two, go!

00:26:24And a two count that time.

00:26:26Using the power, Lash LaRue here against Yang.

00:26:29Yang has used the high wrist maneuvers to high flank techniques.

00:26:33But so far, neither man has been able to put the man down for more than two.

00:26:38Somewhere in the bowels of this building, Dustin Rhodes

00:26:42controls the future of tonight's edition of Nitro.

00:26:46And Kevin Nash controls what's left of David Flair.

00:26:51What is going through?

00:26:53Oh, the mind of Ric Flair, the boss, the CEO,

00:26:57seeing his son bruised and battered on NitroVision.

00:27:00Scott, you say the bowels of the building,

00:27:02but how do we know?

00:27:03I mean, he was pretty angry.

00:27:04You know, Dustin could have walked out.

00:27:05He might have left.

00:27:06We don't know what Dustin is going to do.

00:27:10But it has a tremendous impact, not only on the rest of the telecast tonight,

00:27:15but on Ric Flair's power, on the WCW world title scene as well.

00:27:20Yang into the corner.

00:27:21Lash goes to get him.

00:27:23Lash will hook in.

00:27:24Snapsuit Rex.

00:27:25Kicks him over.

00:27:26Gets him out for a two.

00:27:27Go!

00:27:28But Yang able to kick away at two.

00:27:30Now these two young men are giving it everything,

00:27:33leaving everything in the ring.

00:27:35And that's the way it is in this Cruiserweight division.

00:27:38Yang balanced to the middle.

00:27:40Goal!

00:27:41Goal!

00:27:42GDT!

00:27:43Amazing agility that he could even hold onto the man that time.

00:27:46And Lash goes down, but Yang, nothing to make a cover with here.

00:27:49They're both Cruiserweights, but Lash LaRue has a weight advantage.

00:27:53He is using that to his advantage to tire out the youngster Yang of the Young Dragons.

00:27:59Lash in the ropes.

00:28:00Oh, nailed it!

00:28:01Dropkick is on target.

00:28:04Will it be Lash to join Shannon Moore and Kaz Hayashi?

00:28:08And then three other men in the six-man-four corners elimination match this coming Sunday.

00:28:16Or will it be Yang?

00:28:17Look at the pump handle.

00:28:18He's got him hooked.

00:28:19Lash has him up.

00:28:21Oh!

00:28:22Sit-up powerbomb!

00:28:24Pump handle into a sit-up by Lash LaRue.

00:28:27First time we've seen that combination from the Cajun.

00:28:30He's ready for Pardi Gras coming up on the 26th.

00:28:33What's he waiting for, though?

00:28:35From that sit-up powerbomb, one would have thought that Lash could have put him away.

00:28:40But he's not down.

00:28:41Up into a fireman's carry.

00:28:46With the whiplash, that may do it.

00:28:49One, two, no!

00:28:52What hurts being shown by Yang?

00:28:55Lash LaRue can't believe it.

00:28:57He thought he was as good as guaranteed a spot at Super Bowl Sunday.

00:29:02But Yang said no.

00:29:03Yang will not be denied.

00:29:06Here it's all.

00:29:07Point of one.

00:29:08Two.

00:29:09Oh!

00:29:10They'll slip one in that time.

00:29:11Great.

00:29:12Oh!

00:29:13And an elbow putting down.

00:29:14Great effort that time by Yang to try to slip one in.

00:29:18But a back elbow.

00:29:19And Lash LaRue is still in command.

00:29:21Now one would think that Lash would have to rethink the strategy.

00:29:24If he has him down, he's got to pin him quickly.

00:29:27A quick pose into the fans here.

00:29:29Go behind waist lock by Yang.

00:29:31And oh!

00:29:32Jawbreaker that time.

00:29:34And Yang goes hurling to the neutral corner.

00:29:38As Jamie Tucker kicks in.

00:29:40And it doesn't appear that Yang has much left here.

00:29:43One man will get a shot at greatness in six days at Super Bowl events.

00:29:48The other man goes back to the bottom of the heap to start over and work his way back to the top.

00:29:53So you can see fans how much he's on the line this match up.

00:29:56From the middle to the top.

00:29:57Oh!

00:29:58Feet connecting one and two.

00:30:00And no!

00:30:01No!

00:30:02He didn't get him but it was very close.

00:30:03What agility and athleticism displayed by Yang.

00:30:07Springboard to the top rope.

00:30:09Hit the moonsault.

00:30:10But a boot to the face from Lash.

00:30:12It's ultimately for a shot at the title.

00:30:14This is what it means.

00:30:15Forward roll slam that time to both these young men who's got Lash down.

00:30:19He may have knocked the wind out of Lash LaRue.

00:30:21And finish.

00:30:23Corkscrew from the top.

00:30:24Amazing.

00:30:25To Brady wins it.

00:30:27Yang is in the six man four corners matchup Sunday night at Super Bowl.

00:30:32What a victory.

00:30:33What a victory.

00:30:35What a move.

00:30:37We're gonna have to look at that one more time Scott.

00:30:40That was amazing.

00:30:41That he can not only pull that move off but pull that move off after what he went through.

00:30:46From high atop the ring after a grueling matchup.

00:30:49Corkscrew moonsault from the top.

00:30:52The three count was academic.

00:30:54Yang goes to Nashville Sunday night at Super Bowl Revenge.

00:30:59Both men gave it their all.

00:31:01Let's go backstage once again.

00:31:05Of course I know what's going on.

00:31:06Who do you think you're talking to?

00:31:07I know what's going on.

00:31:08He's my kid.

00:31:09I got it.

00:31:10Just a minute.

00:31:11Mike.

00:31:12Tell me a sec.

00:31:13Tell me you got him under contract and on his way back here right now.

00:31:19Tell me where you're going to be looking Scott Steiner in the eye in about 15 minutes.

00:31:23You can deal with that.

00:31:24Oh.

00:31:25Is that all you're worried about?

00:31:26Oh.

00:31:27I've got this guy on the ropes.

00:31:28I've got him on the ropes.

00:31:29Trust me.

00:31:30We're in the process of negotiating right now.

00:31:31Negotiate.

00:31:32Negotiate.

00:31:33Negotiate nothing.

00:31:34Make him any deal he wants for that reason.

00:31:36Get him back here.

00:31:37We're talking about my kid.

00:31:38I'm not screwing around.

00:31:40You ain't the hero of the day.

00:31:41You're not my pet project.

00:31:42Get him back here.

00:31:44That's what my kid Nash has got.

00:31:46I need Dustin Rhodes back here under contract now.

00:31:49Got it.

00:31:50You got it?

00:31:51Got it.

00:31:52If you don't got it, you're going to be Steiner food tonight.

00:31:54Promotional consideration paid for by the following.

00:31:55Beef.

00:31:56Spice.

00:31:57Beef.

00:31:58Spice.

00:31:59Beef.

00:32:00Spice.

00:32:01Need all excitement?

00:32:02Snap into a Slim Jam!

00:32:03Dustin, I am on my knees here.

00:32:16Man, I am begging you.

00:32:18I'm begging you.

00:32:19I mean, you know, above that, don't think about me.

00:32:23Don't think about Mr. Flair.

00:32:25I mean, I've talked to Mr. Flair, and basically anything you want, you got it.

00:32:30The ball's in your court.

00:32:32You name it.

00:32:33Name your price.

00:32:34Anything I want.

00:32:35Anything.

00:32:36Hmm.

00:32:37All right, I'll tell you what.

00:32:42Anything I want, huh?

00:32:44If I beat Rick Steiner tonight, then not only will I be reinstated, but at Super Bowl,

00:32:51I will have a shot at Rick Steiner's United States title.

00:32:54You got that?

00:32:55No, you got it.

00:32:56You can clear that?

00:32:57Oh, it's clear.

00:32:58If you can clear that, then you've got a deal.

00:33:00It's a done deal.

00:33:01All right.

00:33:02I mean, it's...

00:33:03Get your hand out of here and go on.

00:33:04I got to get ready.

00:33:06Sean Stasiak, Mark Jindrak, jealousy tore apart the thrillers.

00:33:11This Sunday at Super Bowl, the two of you get a shot at the WCW Tag Team titles as you face Chuck Palumbo and Sean O'Hare.

00:33:19But tonight, tonight, a sneak preview as you go one-on-one against your former partner, Palumbo.

00:33:25Gene, let me correct you.

00:33:27Stupidity, not jealousy, is what tore the thrillers apart.

00:33:30Stupidity on Palumbo and O'Hare's part for not realizing who the true leaders of the thrillers were.

00:33:35But I don't blame them for not understanding that.

00:33:37Because in order to understand that, you have to have a mind.

00:33:40And in Palumbo and O'Hare's case, as well as your case, Gene, their heads were filled with mucky crap.

00:33:47Note to self, tonight, I proved to the world that I carried Palumbo to the tag team title.

00:33:54And Gene, guess what?

00:33:56Don't worry about it.

00:33:58You carried Palumbo?

00:34:00I don't think so.

00:34:02Still to come tonight here, one-on-one, Chuck Palumbo to meet Sean Stasiak.

00:34:07I can't believe it, man.

00:34:09Cat, cat, cat, cat, cat, baby.

00:34:10Suck it up, baby.

00:34:11Suck it up.

00:34:12Man, I screwed myself out there, man.

00:34:14But Nash got you right.

00:34:15Nash got you fixed.

00:34:16You want to get a chance to get it back at Super Bowl?

00:34:17Man, whatever, man.

00:34:18Whatever?

00:34:19Whatever.

00:34:20Do you forget what Ali said, man?

00:34:22You're only a loser when you quit the fight.

00:34:26Dig?

00:34:27You're right, man.

00:34:28You're right.

00:34:29But what about Jared?

00:34:30Jared?

00:34:31He's going to bang town, bro.

00:34:33In Kenya?

00:34:35Judas?

00:34:36I hate Kenya, too.

00:34:37Watch.

00:34:38Watch.

00:34:39Tell me it's done.

00:34:43Tell me it's done, man.

00:34:44Tell me it's done or I'm gonna have Adam do the same thing to you.

00:34:47Nice to do with David.

00:34:48You're sure.

00:34:49You're sure.

00:34:50Yes.

00:34:51Okay, okay, okay.

00:34:53You're sure?

00:34:55Yeah.

00:34:56It's done.

00:34:57It's done.

00:34:58It's done.

00:34:59Dustin Rhodes tonight.

00:35:00You're sure?

00:35:01I'm positive.

00:35:02I'm positive.

00:35:03I'm sorry.

00:35:04Hey.

00:35:06Here's the deal.

00:35:07I know Rick Steiner can handle Dustin Rhodes any day of the week.

00:35:08But if something happens, it goes wrong, you know the deal.

00:35:09That means Nash has to wrestle Scotty.

00:35:10That's a big headache.

00:35:11It means Nash keeps David.

00:35:12You've got to be my insurance policy, man.

00:35:13You've got to make sure nothing happens.

00:35:14You know you can count on me, Chad.

00:35:15I know.

00:35:16Anytime.

00:35:17Animal.

00:35:18Thanks, man.

00:35:20I'll get it done.

00:35:21Don't worry about it.

00:35:22Thanks.

00:35:23Rick Steiner.

00:35:24Ric Flair always has a backup.

00:35:26Well, fans, last week Rick Steiner may have struck Kevin Nash in all of odds, but when

00:35:30you think about it, it's very, very obvious.

00:35:32Family first for Rick Steiner.

00:35:34Everything else takes a back seat.

00:35:36Take a look.

00:35:37Roots run deep and blood is thicker than water.

00:35:50Along the way, many felt the wrath of the Dogface Gremlin.

00:35:54And again, it's going to have a Feeling Light.

00:36:00Okay.

00:36:01Oh, la familia!

00:36:04Along the way, many felt the wrath of the dog-faced gremlin.

00:36:08You want some?

00:36:09Come get some.

00:36:11No one was spared.

00:36:12The gauntlet was drawn.

00:36:14You don't like me?

00:36:16I'm here!

00:36:17Brother fought brother for the sake of it all,

00:36:20knowing in the end the Steiner tree will stand tall.

00:36:23What did we just say, Tony?

00:36:25We saw blood being thicker than water.

00:36:28The Steiner brothers are united again.

00:36:31Coming up next, Dustin Rhodes takes on Rick Steiner.

00:36:37Rhodes' future, David Flair's fate, and tonight's world title main event,

00:36:42Hanging the Ballots, coming up.

00:36:47Welcome back live to WCW Monday Night Throw.

00:36:51Three things will happen if Dustin Rhodes can win this match that we have before you right now.

00:36:58Number one, he will be reinstated.

00:37:00Number two, he'll get a US title shot against Rick Steiner this Sunday at Super Bowl.

00:37:06And number three, Kevin Nash gets a world title shot against Scott Steiner coming up later on.

00:37:12It was the best of times, it was the worst of times last Monday night on Nitro.

00:37:17Rick Steiner with the Steiner driver.

00:37:19The franchise with the broken right wrist put the title up,

00:37:23but the dog-faced gremlin won US gold, but later, Rick Steiner turned his back on Kevin Nash in his matchup against Big Papa Pump.

00:37:33That was a handicap matchup, but the handicap was against Nash.

00:37:37The Steiner brothers reformed last Monday night.

00:37:41Just think fans of the pressure both these wrestlers have on them in this one matchup.

00:37:47For Dustin, it's pressure within his own career.

00:37:50It's pressure for his friend, Kevin Nash.

00:37:53But for Rick Steiner, it's pressure keeping his brother out of the ring against Kevin Nash for the world title here tonight.

00:38:01Let's not forget what Ric Flair said he made it crystal clear if Dustin can win.

00:38:07And if Kevin Nash gets Scott Steiner later tonight for the world title,

00:38:11there would be no interference in that upcoming world title bout.

00:38:15Look at Rick Steiner, ready to go against Dustin Rose.

00:38:18Immediately the bell sounds and wasting no time.

00:38:22Dustin running in, and Dustin is hammering Rick Steiner.

00:38:26Dustin with purple, hammering Steiner.

00:38:28He puts Steiner down, he puts Steiner down.

00:38:32He ducked the Steiner line and then put it down with a wearing of his own.

00:38:36My, look at what is at stake in this one.

00:38:40Dustin Rhodes possible reinstatement in world championship wrestling.

00:38:46Kevin Nash getting a world title shot tonight.

00:38:49It all is on the shoulders of Dustin Rhodes,

00:38:53who looks to be more than up to the challenge.

00:38:55The DFG is only O-U-T-S-I-D-E.

00:39:00You know Dustin Rhodes realizes all of this, Scott.

00:39:04He's a great veteran, although he's not been in the sport for that very long.

00:39:10Steiner got a little referee diversion that time.

00:39:14And then he hit pay dirt with the back kick, or the front kick for the back leg.

00:39:20Right between the legs.

00:39:22And that's gonna turn the complexion of this thing around.

00:39:25It's gonna turn the complexion of Dustin Rhodes bright red too.

00:39:29Rick Steiner, the dog face gremlin, just like that, has turned the tight.

00:39:34And down goes Dustin with the Steiner line.

00:39:37So much at stake.

00:39:38Here we go.

00:39:39One, two, four.

00:39:40No.

00:39:41And Steiner complaining the referee.

00:39:44Something else hangs in the balance here tonight.

00:39:48Kevin Nash still has David Flair in his clutches somewhere.

00:39:53It could be here in the arena here in Milochi, Mississippi, or it could be somewhere else.

00:39:58But the fact is, Flair realizes his son has been captured by the enemy, by the biggest enemy

00:40:05of them all, Kevin Nash.

00:40:06And he knows Kevin Nash is capable of any and everything against young David Flair.

00:40:12We saw the bruise, the blackened eye, the bruises on the body of David Flair.

00:40:17Rick Flair saw it too.

00:40:18That's why this match is in the ring right now.

00:40:21You saw how groggy David was, he was really almost out, almost out cold.

00:40:25Dustin gets shoveled on the outside.

00:40:27And now here comes the DFG, one of the baddest men you'll ever see.

00:40:32Look at this.

00:40:33It's business as usual for him.

00:40:35He can take him apart.

00:40:36No, no.

00:40:38Dustin one step ahead.

00:40:40Almost into the front row and Dustin Rhodes, 6'6 native of Austin, Texas,

00:40:46is really putting it to the DFG.

00:40:49His destiny is in his own hands.

00:40:51If Dustin wins, there's nothing Ric Flair can do.

00:40:54There's no more stop-doubt measures to keep Dustin Rhodes out of the ring.

00:40:58It's all fans in this one matchup.

00:41:01So much on the line.

00:41:02And Dustin, hunched over in the center of the ring, has a DFG with a rear chin lock,

00:41:07pulling and tugging.

00:41:08Look at the arms on Rick Steiner.

00:41:10Look at the face.

00:41:11Look at the demeanor of the dogface.

00:41:13A man you don't want to get in his way.

00:41:16If Ric Steiner wins this one, the boss, Ric Flair, and our new commissioner,

00:41:21Lance Storm, better get to thinking, because we won't have a main event.

00:41:25Ooh!

00:41:26Belly to belly.

00:41:27The fans are getting with Dustin, and now, taking a chapter from his brother,

00:41:32intimidating the referee.

00:41:34One, two, and a two count.

00:41:36That time, Ric Steiner.

00:41:38Now look at this, in the face of Silverman.

00:41:42Dustin Rhodes knows it, with every count of the referee,

00:41:47when he's on the wrong side of a pinning combination.

00:41:49There goes his reinstatement, his career.

00:41:52And there goes Kevin Nash, and his world title shot, later tonight.

00:41:57Steiner just absorbed those kicks, and Steiner is hammering the head of Rhodes.

00:42:02He knocked him down in a bottom turnbuckle pad.

00:42:06Ric Steiner, shooting a look at the referee.

00:42:09Billy Silverman backs away.

00:42:11And now, Dustin Rhodes is being mad as a matter of fact, I believe.

00:42:15I believe he's opened his nose up.

00:42:17He's bleeding from his nose.

00:42:19I don't know if it's from the inside, or maybe a laceration on the bridge of the nose,

00:42:22or what, but Dustin hurt.

00:42:25I think that Ric Steiner doesn't care what happened to Dustin Rhodes.

00:42:29It was a shot across the bridge of Dustin, but here comes the Texans.

00:42:35Digging down deep, Dustin Rhodes to the ball.

00:42:38Ric Steiner.

00:42:39Now, can he put him out?

00:42:41He's using his height to his advantage, but Steiner.

00:42:44It is so hard, Scott, to put a man asleep the size of Ric Steiner.

00:42:49Look at those traps, look at that upper body.

00:42:51He is so strong in his neck.

00:42:53And his back, look at him, he's so wide.

00:42:56Dustin a heck of an effort that time, using what he knows best.

00:43:00Using his arms, know that he's been taught, but it wasn't enough to keep,

00:43:04as a matter of fact, it's turned things around on him here.

00:43:06If Dustin Rhodes wins this one, what will Scott Steiner say to Ric Steiner?

00:43:14Maybe it's a diversionary tactic hacked by Kevin Nash.

00:43:18Snap married him over Dustin, and now Ric Steiner with a rear chin lock.

00:43:23It's down on the mat, and this is where Steiner can't hurt you.

00:43:26Yes, the Steiner line is awesome, the punches, the kicks.

00:43:30He can bludgeon a man as well as anyone, but when he has you down,

00:43:35and he has you hooked, and he stretches you, and he stitches in tight,

00:43:38that's where Ric Steiner is at his best.

00:43:42So much on the line here.

00:43:43The Dogface Gremlin and Dustin Rhodes.

00:43:46Will Dustin be reinstated?

00:43:48Will he get a United States Heavyweight Championship shot Sunday night at Super

00:43:53Superbrawl, and of course, the biggie, will Kevin Nash get a world title shot

00:43:57tonight here in Biloxi on Nitro?

00:44:01Nobody more interested in that outcome, this outcome,

00:44:04than the man you talked about, Scott, Kevin Nash, and of course,

00:44:08the world champion, Big Papa Pup, a bloodied and battered Dustin Rhodes.

00:44:15This may be it.

00:44:17Can he come back?

00:44:19He's still in it.

00:44:24Blood filling the nose of Dustin, fighting on pure adrenaline, and here comes Dustin.

00:44:30It's gonna take time, he floats over, he's gonna back slide.

00:44:34One, two, and he's done.

00:44:36Couldn't keep him down.

00:44:37Man.

00:44:39My God, his face is in Mobile, Alabama somewhere.

00:44:42That was as stiff as you'll see, Dustin Rhodes.

00:44:46Is it over, is this it, one, two, it's not over, it's not over.

00:44:51How did he kick out from that?

00:44:52Wait a second, there goes the route.

00:44:56Dustin, got it.

00:44:57One, two, and he kicked out from that.

00:45:01The fans came to their feet on that one, Dustin back up.

00:45:05Eyeball to eyeball, Dustin Rhodes and Rick Steiner giving us everything,

00:45:10leaving nothing.

00:45:12So much at stake, back over.

00:45:16Lee Brogan, the referee, the referee got caught.

00:45:20I believe Dustin headbutted the referee.

00:45:23No.

00:45:24That was inadvertent, unlike Rick Steiner's blatant abuse of the official early on.

00:45:29Dustin fighting for his life, not only his career.

00:45:32Is he bulldogging?

00:45:34Running bulldog, it could be the move, but there's no body to count.

00:45:38Two, three, come on.

00:45:41It's over, it should be over.

00:45:43The bodyguard, the bodyguard animal.

00:45:45The insurance policy that Ric Flair talked about a few moments ago, and

00:45:50there he is at over 300 pounds.

00:45:52Dustin caught him, he caught him with a right cross.

00:45:55He belly of belly.

00:45:57No, not like this.

00:45:58Come on, not after the insurance policy of Road Warrior Animal.

00:46:03Who, who is this?

00:46:05It's the franchise.

00:46:06The franchise on the apron.

00:46:08The franchise on the apron.

00:46:09He goes.

00:46:10Hit him with a kick.

00:46:12The franchise, the franchise.

00:46:14Go DDT.

00:46:15DDT, but the referee's off.

00:46:17One, two, three, he won the ring.

00:46:19Yes, yes.

00:46:20He won it.

00:46:21Yes, Dustin Rhodes is reinstating.

00:46:25Mesh and Steiner tonight for the world title.

00:46:29And Dustin gets a US title shot in six days in Superbrawl as the franchise is in the ring.

00:46:35Pointing to the Dogface Gremlin.

00:46:38You know what payback is, Rick Steiner, and that, my friend, is a payback from the franchise.

00:46:44Shane Douglas, the franchise is a trash talker, and you can see in the NitroVision exactly what, what happened.

00:46:54He hit Animal from behind, knocked Animal down, and then laid waste to Rick Steiner.

00:47:01Unbelievable, Dustin Rhodes is reinstated in World Championship wrestling Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner for the world title tonight.

00:47:11Hang on a minute, back in the ring, let's see.

00:47:14Dustin seeing what's going on, he's coming back to the ring as Animal's in.

00:47:20He's got a broken wrist.

00:47:21The franchise, oh, they're gonna, they're gonna give him a, they're gonna give him a set of him.

00:47:26No, Rick, Dustin coming in with a chair if he's on, but he's met by Rick Steiner.

00:47:32And Dustin's in it, oh, no.

00:47:33They're gonna try and break that out of the wrist.

00:47:35This could end his career.

00:47:36Franchise is hopeless, Animal's got him.

00:47:39No, my God, no.

00:47:40Oh, no.

00:47:42Dustin needs to grab the left of the franchise and get him out, now.

00:47:48I think he may have broken out of the wrist, or maybe even the arm, the arm of the radius.

00:47:54Who knows what was broken in that vicious, unprovoked attack.

00:48:00What a battle we saw.

00:48:02And there you see what happened to the franchise.

00:48:05The fact is, the world title belt is on tonight.

00:48:08Nash gets Scott Steiner.

00:48:11Hey, I apologize, I tell you, I promise you.

00:48:14You said you had a plan, we're gonna protect the belt.

00:48:16You are the franchise, I'm sorry.

00:48:17Yeah, I know, but now I gotta wrestle him an ass.

00:48:19I thought you'd be sick and sick of the gun in the backfield game.

00:48:23You said he's gonna be a new guy, huh, Steiner?

00:48:25You're not gonna hold on a kid unless you're trying to pull it faster, all right?

00:48:29See you tonight.

00:48:30Rick, I'm doing things my way.

00:48:32What about David, what about David?

00:48:33I don't care about David, I'm gonna protect the belt.

00:48:35Brought to you by the Motor Oil that provides maximum protection.

00:48:41Castro GTX, drive hard, Scott.

00:48:43It was an unbelievable occurrence.

00:48:45Dustin Rhodes and Rick Steiner, but the franchise, out of nowhere, wiped out the animal.

00:48:51Wiped out Rick, the DDT, and Dustin Rhodes got the one, two, three.

00:48:55Nash gets his shot at Scott Steiner.

00:48:58Dustin is back, he gets his shot Sunday night.

00:49:01But in the aftermath, the other arm, the left arm of the franchise, Shane Douglas,

00:49:06broken by Animal and Rick Steiner.

00:49:10Why would the franchise help Dustin Rhodes?

00:49:14You know the animosity obviously is still there because of what happened last week between

00:49:20the franchise and Rick Steiner when Rick Steiner became the U.S.

00:49:25But by going in, the franchise helped turn the tables on Ric Flair, turn the tables on Scott

00:49:33Steiner because Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner tonight's WCW title, no interference, six days

00:49:42before they're scheduled for Super Brawl events.

00:49:46We could go to Super Brawl this Sunday with a new World Heavyweight Champion.

00:49:50Scott Steiner backstage did not seem happy that he has been forced into a matchup, a title

00:49:56offense tonight.

00:49:57All you dumb Americans, listen up.

00:49:59This is my house.

00:50:03And I built this house.

00:50:06So I want all you dumb Americans to sit back and relax.

00:50:10Because I'm going to show you something you ain't never seen before.

00:50:14In fact, I'm going to give you a taste of prime time.

00:50:23Give you a taste of prime time.

00:50:25Well, let's see what that's all about because here comes Kidman.

00:50:31This is another qualifying match for the six-man, four corners elimination match coming up this

00:50:37Sunday at Super Brawl.

00:50:38We already know that Chan Moore and Chance Hayashi, they're in by a win earlier.

00:50:44Yang, three men are already in.

00:50:46One of these two men will join those three as well, Scott.

00:50:52Kidman, what an opportunity.

00:50:54Former Cruiserweight champion himself.

00:50:56Woodlight messing, oh, hang on.

00:50:58Primetime from behind.

00:50:59Is that a taste of primetime?

00:51:01Well, that's a taste of primetime, and it's a darn good move in this qualifying match to get the opening advantage.

00:51:08A wild swing and a miss, Kidman gets him with a back elbow, but he primetime, look at that drop kick.

00:51:15We are seeing two stellar athletes at their card in the expression, Prime, hit a light on Nitra.

00:51:23Holding on that time as Kidman takes it over on the upside, goes Primetime.

00:51:28Hold the phone, Kidman's not done, waiting for Primetime to get up, sliding through, and taking him head first to the match.

00:51:34Great innovative move, that time by Kidman.

00:51:37Kidman, as well as every Cruiserweight in the division, an innovator of offense.

00:51:43They have to be, they don't have the bulk, the size, the strength of the super heavyweights.

00:51:48They have to rely on their speed and agility, and boy, do they ever.

00:51:52Three men are in, one of these two men will go on to Super Brawl.

00:51:56Super Brawl, outside in, guillotine legs up over the top.

00:52:00Here goes Kidman, one, two, and a kick out.

00:52:04A kick out from Primetime.

00:52:06On Wednesday night on Thunder, we're going to have a tag team match where we'll decide the final two men for the six-man four-quarters match.

00:52:14Right on the back of the head, belly-to-back suplex from Primetime, knocks Kidman a couple of time zones across.

00:52:24Incredible, all of these men are not fighting for a title shot, Tony, or even the number one contender slot.

00:52:30The number one contender is Rey Mysterio Jr., the champion, Chavo Guerrero Jr., they will meet in six days at Super Bowl Revenge.

00:52:37You're right, Scott, they are fighting fans for an opportunity, and that's what being a competitor is all about, opportunity.

00:52:45Dustin Rhodes had an opportunity moments ago to get reinstated, to get a U.S. title shot in six days at Super Brawl.

00:52:51He got that, and he gave Kevin Nash the opportunity tonight to go against Scott Steiner.

00:52:57No interference for the WCW world title, and now the referee admonishing Primetime for using the ropes and choking Kidman out.

00:53:04He was choking the life out of Kidman, but Kidman firing back with right hands in Primetime.

00:53:09Levels, Kidman right next to that rope one more time. Primetime, this is a vicious, vicious version of Primetime we're seeing here on Nitro.

00:53:17You gotta be vicious, Scott, when you're going for such a big prize. I don't think there's any question about that.

00:53:23You gotta pick it up a notch. Dustin Rhodes and Rick Steiner showed us that early, and certainly we're gonna expect much the same from Scott Steiner and Kevin Nash later on tonight.

00:53:32Missing a wild swing, and then Kidman missing a crossbody.

00:53:35Look at Primetime, straight back into a full bridge, and Kidman with the crossbody dive just straight over the top, did not connect.

00:53:47That is something we don't see very often. That is Primetime, Helix Skipper.

00:53:53One other point we wanna make is the drama unfolds.

00:53:55Whoa!

00:53:56Can you see that?

00:53:58Was that incredible or what?

00:54:01Slingshot, corkscrew, body press from Primetime. Oh, and Kidman wiped him out.

00:54:06Whoa!

00:54:07Winding up, and not too far to go. Part of the safety rail. As the drama unfolds between Nash and Scott Steiner here tonight, the fact is, Scott Steiner is in the backstage area, searching the building for Kevin Nash, who still has David Flair as his captain.

00:54:25And don't forget also that Kevin Nash has David Flair. I don't know if Ric Flair wants Scott Steiner to find Kevin Nash.

00:54:35Who knows what would happen to David?

00:54:36Yeah, lots of stories going on in the backstage area. What would happen if Steiner finds Kevin Nash? Not only would it happen to David Flair, what would happen to Kevin Nash?

00:54:48Steiner is uncontrollable, we know that. Back into the ring they go. One, two, go!

00:54:53Nilser! Kicking away the resilient Kidman. And of course, we know it, the fans know it, and I'm sure Primetime knows it. It's gonna take a lot more than that to keep the former Cruiserweight champion down.

00:55:05Just a haymaker across the jaw. Proof of the midsection now, Prim, no! Reversal!

00:55:12Nobody home for that?

00:55:14Primetime is so quick.

00:55:15He's kicking low that time, near the knees.

00:55:17It's on his way out, Kidman.

00:55:19He gets Kidman up. Look, Kidman's trying to fight this off.

00:55:22And he flies! And he does! And it was a stood out power bomb from up top!

00:55:27Incredible! Total disregard for his body, but it worked, and Kidman's on top! Go!

00:55:36Kidman, Kidman did not have a good lateral press that time, but the toughness of Primetime came out.

00:55:46Primetime still has a lot left.

00:55:48Lands on the stage, into a four now stand!

00:55:51Dragon's in, that's one! Hit, two! Hit, go!

00:55:54Kidman, extending his body! Picked out of the Dragon Suplex, and by Primetime!

00:55:59But Kidman is slowly back, no! Kidman sets it!

00:56:03Hit, two! Hit, two! Hit, go!

00:56:08One, two, hit, go!

00:56:09Oh, boy! They know what's on the line!

00:56:12They know a shot at glory awaits the winner, Sunday night, at Super Brawl Revenge.

00:56:17Who will join the six-man, four-corner Cruiserweight matchup?

00:56:20Will either of these men be able to make it, even if they win?

00:56:23One of these two men, oh! To the top!

00:56:25Hingman's do takeover that time, and Primetime will make a cover!

00:56:29Hook and a far leg, and Kidman's out!

00:56:31Moves we have not seen from either athlete before!

00:56:35Maybe they saved the best for tonight in Biloxi!

00:56:38The winner still has to go on!

00:56:41They must have something left, Kidman!

00:56:43No, he's now at that time!

00:56:44Scoop slam! Put him down!

00:56:46One, two, go!

00:56:48No!

00:56:49No!

00:56:50Right now, Billy Kidman is thinking, I've hit him with everything but the kitchen sink!

00:56:55What's it gonna take to pin Primetime?

00:56:57And he's thinking the exact same thing!

00:57:00Into a full-arm Dragon Twist!

00:57:02Has him hooked up top!

00:57:03Over the top, Butterfly Suplex!

00:57:04Double underhook that time!

00:57:06Look at Kirkstein waiting on the balls of his feet!

00:57:10He's just waiting!

00:57:11There he adds, another full-arm Dragon Twist!

00:57:14And now, the overdrive maneuver didn't work!

00:57:16Look at how quick these men are!

00:57:18Kid Crusher!

00:57:19Kid Crusher!

00:57:20Yes!

00:57:21Kid Crusher in the cover!

00:57:23And the two, and it's over!

00:57:25Billy Kidman!

00:57:26Unbelievable effort!

00:57:28Displayed by both of these athletes!

00:57:30But with the kid pressure!

00:57:32Billy Kidman goes to Nashville Sunday night!

00:57:35And Super Brawl remains!

00:57:37Wow!

00:57:38He will join Shannon Moore!

00:57:40Kaz Hayasi and Yang!

00:57:42And then two men in a Cruiserweight tag match coming up this coming Wednesday on Thunder!

00:57:47That winning team will go on as well, Scott!

00:57:50Unbelievable action!

00:57:51Can you imagine how tiring this matchup is?

00:57:55But somewhere, Kidman found the strength to hit the Kid Crusher!

00:57:59And it was over!

00:58:01Kidman advances to Super Brawl Revenge in six days!

00:58:05We know this was spectacular with the Cruiserweights!

00:58:08But coming up on this telecast, the emotion of the Super Heavyweights!

00:58:13Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner!

00:58:16No interference!

00:58:17And the WCW World title on the line!

00:58:20Plus, the fate of David Flair hangs on the balance tonight!

00:58:24Hugh Morris, this war between you and your former MIA teammate, Shavo on the Wall, has certainly escalated in recent weeks!

00:58:31With that being said, I'm here to inform you that WCW officials have done it!

00:58:36They have signed You on the Wall, one-on-one, for this Sunday at Super Brawl!

00:58:41Super Brawl!

00:58:44Super Brawl!

00:58:45It's time for the Wall to pay the consequences!

00:58:48But make no mistake!

00:58:50This has nothing to do with Loco, Cajun, AWOL, or Erection!

00:58:55No!

00:58:56This has to do with Hugh Morris and the Wall!

00:59:00And it's Super Brawl!

00:59:02I will leave with your blood on my hands!

00:59:05But first, we got a little business to take care of!

00:59:09Last week, you two buffoons tried to jump a little friend of mine called Ray Mysterio!

00:59:15But you had to deal with me!

00:59:18Well, let's say this, Gene!

00:59:20Let's say this, Wednesday on Thunder!

00:59:22Hugh Morris!

00:59:24Ray Mysterio Jr.

00:59:27Versus Shavo and the Wall!

00:59:31All right, there you have it!

00:59:36The challenge from Hugh Morris!

00:59:37I wonder if Shavo on the Wall will answer!

00:59:40Hey!

00:59:41The word we get, right now back in the locker room area, Scott Steiner is looking for Kevin

00:59:46Nash!

00:59:52Hey!

00:59:53Where's Nash at?

00:59:54Have you seen Nash?

00:59:55Nash?

00:59:56I haven't seen him!

00:59:58Get up!

01:00:05He's my son, I understand.

01:00:06Yeah, I understand the severity of this.

01:00:08I'm doing everything I can.

01:00:09I'm making the whole company move to save him.

01:00:13Everything's moving.

01:00:14I'm doing everything I can.

01:00:16I know.

01:00:17Don't holler at me.

01:00:18I'm in my office.

01:00:19I'm gonna handle it, Beth.

01:00:21Trust me.

01:00:22It's done.

01:00:28A very emotional Ric Flair.

01:00:29Well, fans of six days, DDP must face Jeff Jarrett.

01:00:31But last week, a very familiar enemy raised his evil head.

01:00:35Canyon shocked the world with his return and brought back vivid memories from the not-too-distant past.

01:00:42Let's take a look.

01:00:43Canyon and DDP.

01:00:50They ran together in a pack.

01:00:52The terror from the Jersey Shore.

01:00:55They had a bond.

01:00:58They were close.

01:01:00And they could tear apart anyone in their path.

01:01:05Then, the cage.

01:01:06The winner!

01:01:07Canyon turned on his friend.

01:01:08Canyon stood up!

01:01:09Deceiving him.

01:01:10As Canyon came out of the wheelchair and hit the diamond cutter on Page!

01:01:12Attacking him.

01:01:13It's a setup!

01:01:14Forcing him out of World Championship Wrestling.

01:01:15This business has cost me my health, my friends, and my wife. Screw it. It ain't worth it.

01:01:21He just wants-

01:01:22Is he quitting?

01:01:23Canyon became obsessed with his former mentor.

01:01:24Nobody's safe around here!

01:01:25Slowly losing his grip on reality.

01:01:26He's a lunatic is what he is!

01:01:27Finally disappearing from World Championship Wrestling.

01:01:28Feel the-

01:01:29Until-

01:01:30You don't have to tell this man twice to diamond cut an opponent!

01:01:31He floated over!

01:01:32Got him a cutter!

01:01:33Got him a cutter!

01:01:34Hang on a sec!

01:01:35The fan attacks the fan!

01:01:36The fan attacks the fan!

01:01:37He got it!

01:01:38He got it!

01:01:39He got it!

01:01:40He got it!

01:01:41He got it!

01:01:42He got it!

01:01:43He got it!

01:01:44He got it!

01:01:45He got it!

01:01:46He got it!

01:01:47He got it!

01:01:48He got it!

01:01:49Hey, screw it!

01:01:50It ain't worth it!

01:01:51Is he quitting?

01:01:52Canyon became obsessed with his former mentor.

01:01:53Nobody's safe around here!

01:01:54Slowly losing his grip on reality.

01:01:56He's a lunatic is what he is!

01:01:57Finally disappearing from World Championship Wrestling.

01:01:59Feel the battle!

01:02:00Until-

01:02:01You don't have to tell this man twice to diamond cut an opponent!

01:02:03He floated over!

01:02:04Jared!

01:02:05That's Canyon!

01:02:06Where has he been?

01:02:07Why is he here?

01:02:08Look at Canyon!

01:02:09Chris Canyon back in WCW with the vengeance.

01:02:18Fans, don't forget we kick off WCW's road to Spring Breakout 2001 on February 26th.

01:02:23We come to you live from Mardi Gras with the biggest bash in New Orleans, WCW Ponte Gras.

01:02:30It all ends up of course at Spring Breakout 2001 at the Boardwalk Beach Resort in Panama City Beach, Florida.

01:02:38I can't wait for that!

01:02:40And I can't wait for this!

01:02:42The battle of the perfect event!

01:02:45Sean Stasiak and Chuck Palumbo, former partners are about to do battle!

01:02:51It was a couple of weeks ago on Thunder in Baltimore!

01:02:54The Natural Born Thrillers exploded into a fit of rage!

01:02:57Jealousy, fear, whatever!

01:03:00It ended up with the Natural Born Thrillers on the bricks!

01:03:04And tonight, six days in advance of a world tag team title matchup!

01:03:09Thrillers vs Thrillers, it's Palumbo vs Stasiak!

01:03:14And more, Scott, than just Thriller vs Thrillers, it is, as you said earlier, former members of a perfect event!

01:03:23And of course, Palumbo and O'Hare, last Monday, as we saw Lance Dorm with the Maple Leaf on the wrong man,

01:03:32Palumbo and O'Hare got the win over Team Canada!

01:03:38Once again, solidifying themselves as the greatest tag team in the world!

01:03:43But the fact is, Palumbo's got a title belt, Sean Stasiak does not!

01:03:48And one time, not too long ago, these two men were together as world tag team champions!

01:03:53Absolutely, and they weren't the best of friends then!

01:03:57They got along because they had to as tag team champions!

01:04:00And hey, the big paychecks, the gold, all the trappings of the world titles went with it!

01:04:06But when the belts went, the friendship went!

01:04:08And like the teeth in Stasiak, they went flying!

01:04:12This one to see who the better man is!

01:04:14These two men were always kind of the odd couple, and now, they have settled their tags!

01:04:19And out goes Stasiak to the floor!

01:04:21And Chuck Palumbo, one of the world tag team champions!

01:04:25He and Sean O'Hare will defend the belts!

01:04:27Coming up this Sunday, when we come to you at Super Brawl Revenge Super Brawl 2,001!

01:04:37It will be our 11th year of the Super Brawl February event!

01:04:41Stasiak putting the boots to Palumbo!

01:04:43Palumbo has one of the best right hands, and some people think the best right hand in the sport today!

01:04:49And Stasiak's already felt it, only now recovering!

01:04:52You're looking at two of the men who are the future of WCW!

01:04:57Into the grass with Chuck Palumbo!

01:04:59Look at the strength of the young man Palumbo!

01:05:02Holding up something!

01:05:03Oh!

01:05:04Holy slam!

01:05:05That's it!

01:05:06He said that's it!

01:05:07Now he's gonna make a cover!

01:05:09One!

01:05:10Two!

01:05:11And he almost pinned it!

01:05:12Who's the better man?

01:05:13Who really carried the World Tag Team Championship team on the perfect event?

01:05:18That was a right hand from Palumbo!

01:05:20We're gonna find out!

01:05:21Wow!

01:05:22Just a handful of hair!

01:05:23When you talk about the members of the Natural Born Thrillers, you're talking about a compost of egos, of emotion, of men who would just do anything to prove that they are better than their former partners!

01:05:40On the other side, Jindrak, who has now been teaming with Shawn Stasiak, former partner of Shawn O'Hare!

01:05:48One, two, and a kick out!

01:05:51Only a two kick out!

01:05:52Good wrench!

01:05:53Powerbomb by Shawn Stasiak!

01:05:54Tremendous!

01:05:55What amounts to an amateur wrestling maneuver!

01:05:58Taking the life out of Palumbo!

01:06:00You know, word backstage has it, Tony!

01:06:02Stasiak's just a little bit of a flake!

01:06:04Palumbo, believe it or not, the more well-rounded of the two!

01:06:08Scott, I know that to be true!

01:06:11Many people feel that of Shawn Stasiak!

01:06:13He may be somewhat of a flake, but the fact is, when the bell rings, he is as talented as anyone!

01:06:18You're looking at personal pride, guts, and determination right here!

01:06:21And yes, a second generation star!

01:06:24He grew up in the wrestling business, there's no question about that!

01:06:27And now he wants to prove that he was not a flute that he was at one time!

01:06:32One half of the World Tag Team Champions!

01:06:34And he wants to prove he was the better man of the perfect event!

01:06:37A back elbow put Chuck Palumbo down!

01:06:41The arrogance displayed by Stasiak!

01:06:44Cover!

01:06:45And...

01:06:47Look at Stasiak right into the mouth!

01:06:50Raining down the right hands!

01:06:52Rapid fire!

01:06:53Into the temple of Chuck Palumbo!

01:06:55Thus far, it's all Stasiak!

01:06:57Stasiak, you're right, has now moved into where he's dominating this matchup!

01:07:02But will he try to win it, or will he try just to maybe inflict punishment on his former partner?

01:07:08After the reigning right hands, you've talked about Scott, using the top rope, it seems to me,

01:07:13he wants to try not only to win this thing, but to humiliate Chuck Palumbo!

01:07:18That's exactly right!

01:07:19Sunday night at Super Brawl Revenge, the Tag Team Titles will be on the line!

01:07:23Inside cradle!

01:07:24Small package!

01:07:25He got him down, and oh!

01:07:27Couldn't keep him down!

01:07:28But tonight, something almost as important, bragging rights among what's left of the Natural Born Thrillers!

01:07:34And if you can injure your opponent, that would certainly help your team on Sunday night!

01:07:39Go!

01:07:40Great move from the corner by Sean Stasiak!

01:07:43Running with the Bulldog!

01:07:44And caught the Bulldog into his thigh!

01:07:47The high knee from Stasiak, Palumbo is still down!

01:07:50And he doesn't try to make a cover, and really, one would think he should have!

01:07:55Pure arrogance!

01:07:56That's exactly what it is!

01:07:58Underhook now, maybe trying a vertical suplex here!

01:08:01Snapped him over, great execution by Stasiak!

01:08:04And he still has him hooked!

01:08:06What's he gonna do now?

01:08:08Oh!

01:08:09Reverse neckbreaker!

01:08:10Out of that!

01:08:11Great combination of moves!

01:08:13And only a two!

01:08:15He couldn't keep him down!

01:08:16Look at the face that time!

01:08:17Of Sean Stasiak!

01:08:19Perfect Sean, if you will!

01:08:20It's Palumbo!

01:08:21Palumbo, now it's a comeback!

01:08:22One, two!

01:08:23And almost gets a win!

01:08:24Quickly!

01:08:25The battle of the power!

01:08:26Perfect event continues on Nitro!

01:08:28Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner!

01:08:30For the World Heavyweight Championship is still to come!

01:08:34What a momentous night in Biloxi, Mississippi!

01:08:37We could see the champions are tonight, a new WCW champion!

01:08:41You know, we know that Steiner does not wanna get in the ring against Kevin Nash!

01:08:46But where is Kevin Nash?

01:08:48Where is he holding David Flair hostage?

01:08:50Ric Flair has to be livid!

01:08:52And that's putting him mildly!

01:08:54The father watching the son in the clutches!

01:08:57One of the most dangerous men in all of WCW!

01:09:00And the man who could be the new world champion, Kevin Nash!

01:09:02All right, we're not done!

01:09:04Into the corner!

01:09:05Look at this!

01:09:06Look at Stasiak!

01:09:08Just spent a lot of time!

01:09:10And he paid for it, Scott!

01:09:12He certainly did, Palumbo back in, but whoa!

01:09:15Full front slam by Stasiak!

01:09:17Almost got him at a two count!

01:09:19The son of Stan, the man Stasiak you talked about earlier, grew up in this sport,

01:09:24has seen it all before he stepped into the ring, but Chuck Palumbo almost turned it around!

01:09:30There's the little bit of veteran experience on the side of Stasiak coming into play!

01:09:36Caught him with the back elbow, charging in!

01:09:38Another man in this arena, maybe, or in this general vicinity, saw it all as a young man,

01:09:43and that is David Flair!

01:09:44Will he see another day?

01:09:46That's the question coming up!

01:09:48Great leg strength that time!

01:09:51Just speeding the man over!

01:09:53Here's a cover by Palumbo!

01:09:55One, two, no!

01:09:58No sir!

01:09:59That close to Scott James, the referee!

01:10:01Palumbo needed a break, maybe that was it!

01:10:04He's back in control for the first time in a long time!

01:10:07Chuck Palumbo shoots Stasiak in!

01:10:09Stasiak hooked on down!

01:10:11Chuck Palumbo's got him!

01:10:12Oh!

01:10:13Sound roll slam!

01:10:14One!

01:10:15Two!

01:10:16Go!

01:10:17Oh, that was so close!

01:10:18How did Stasiak kick out of that?

01:10:21I thought he was unconscious!

01:10:23That's what this means to these two athletes!

01:10:26The bragging rights almost as important as a tag team title!

01:10:30One, two, three!

01:10:31Dropped the arm breaker by Palumbo!

01:10:33Stasiak is still down, but Palumbo, these men are spit!

01:10:36They have put their heart and soul into this matchup!

01:10:39It means that much to them!

01:10:41First man to his feet, Chuck Palumbo!

01:10:46He's gonna try to go upstairs with it!

01:10:49Stasiak needs to get it!

01:10:51Oh!

01:10:52Palumbo!

01:10:53Three quarters of the way across the ring!

01:10:56That's 6'5", 275, flying like a 747!

01:11:00It's not done!

01:11:03He's going to that jungle kick!

01:11:05He's going for it!

01:11:06Look at this!

01:11:07If he hits this!

01:11:08He caught it!

01:11:09Stasiak caught it!

01:11:10Spins him around!

01:11:11And then, ducking Hilarion!

01:11:14Boy, these two know each other, don't they?

01:11:16Traveling to Rawls, defending the tag team titles!

01:11:19Rolls him up!

01:11:20They're in the ropes!

01:11:22One!

01:11:23Two!

01:11:24That game says no, you're in the ropes, and then, Palumbo got out of it!

01:11:29Stasiak and Palumbo, emotions running high in this one!

01:11:35Who really was the leader?

01:11:38Who carried the ball for the perfect event?

01:11:40We're about to find out!

01:11:42Stasiak now will roll him up again!

01:11:45One!

01:11:46Two!

01:11:47Three!

01:11:48And he beat!

01:11:49His head full of tights!

01:11:50I think you're right, Scott!

01:11:51He had a head full of tights!

01:11:53We can see him from the broadcast table!

01:11:55But the fact is, he won the thing!

01:11:57And Stasiak, Stasiak is asking for the belt?

01:12:02What is it?

01:12:03Look at the maniacal look on his face!

01:12:06He may not be a world tag team champion, but we talked about bragging rights!

01:12:10We talked about egos!

01:12:12Stasiak, demanding the microphone!

01:12:16Now what?

01:12:17Palumbo!

01:12:18Palumbo!

01:12:19I told you I was a man!

01:12:21I carried you from the very beginning!

01:12:24I proved that tonight, just like I'm gonna prove it at Super Brawl!

01:12:28Are we gonna have new tag team champions in six days at Super Brawl Revenge?

01:12:34Well, if you believe in momentum, we just may have that!

01:12:37Are we gonna have a new WCW world champion?

01:12:40Tonight!

01:12:41No interference!

01:12:42Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner!

01:12:45The struggle of the biggest rivalry in WCW is tonight!

01:12:49Here comes DDP!

01:12:51Here comes DDP!

01:13:19Here comes DDP!

01:13:20Come DDP!

01:13:22What do you mean to me!

01:13:24Good night!

01:13:29Yeah!

01:13:30Good night!

01:13:31Jam.

01:13:34Hey buddy, alright!

01:13:39Pick up your phone!

01:13:40Not here!

01:13:43But at home...

01:13:44Mommy will play括ers you...

01:13:46Thanks!

01:13:47Yo, this Sunday at Super Brawl, the Chosen One, Jeff Jarrett, and DDP will tear

01:14:17it down.

01:14:22And you, Chosen Monkey, that leaves you with a choice of choosing the Big Bang Theory, which

01:14:30means at Slap Nuts Super Brawl, you will feel the bang.

01:14:38Now, I'd be a little remiss if I didn't mention the fact that Canyon's back.

01:14:48And since Canyon's back, I gotta ask the question, who's a bigger scumbag than Canyon?

01:15:00Canyon!

01:15:01Canyon!

01:15:02Exactly.

01:15:03Nobody.

01:15:04Nobody but a scumbag like Canyon tries to get over by impersonating it, by trying to steal

01:15:12your look, by trying to steal your music, steal your signature sign, and even stealing your

01:15:22finishing maneuver, the Diamond Cutter, and changing the name to the Canyon Cutter?

01:15:29I don't think so.

01:15:32Canyon, you're gonna learn firsthand that nobody, and I mean nobody, steals nothing from Diamond

01:15:45Dallas Page.

01:15:46You're back.

01:15:47Well, Monkey, I'm jacked.

01:15:48And I'm right here, anywhere, anytime.

01:15:49I'm gonna get you, Monkey.

01:15:50The Chosen One.

01:15:51And I'm gonna get you, Monkey.

01:15:54The Chosen One.

01:16:08Stop worrying about Canyon, because your butt is going to be positively mine this Sunday

01:16:33at Super Brawl. Come Sunday, you're going to feel the bang all right, but it's going to be

01:16:42because you're going to be wearing this guitar around that fat melon you call ahead. Now choke

01:16:48on that, DDP. Well, J. Brown, I don't see nothing but air in between me and you.

01:16:59As far as I'm concerned, we can do it right here tonight in Biloxi, Mississippi.

01:17:08Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait just a minute, DDP. I'm a man of my word,

01:17:16and I said I'm going to do it this Sunday, not tonight.

01:17:20Hold on, out of nowhere, Canyon arrives, and Diamond got it.

01:17:27Page has many face on.

01:17:29The discus lariating Canyon.

01:17:32Page hits the diamond cutter.

01:17:35Watch out.

01:17:38Watch out, watch out.

01:17:43And he's going to put him in the stroke.

01:17:45He's going to put him from the guitar to the stroke.

01:17:48He's right down, Diamond got his face.

01:17:50Cupcake has won.

01:18:15Come on, Bernard.

01:18:17He was here,

01:18:22he was here, there's a camera right there, come on, baby.

01:18:27Kevin Nash with David Flair in his breath makes his way towards the ring.

01:18:40Up next, no interference, Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner for the world title.

01:18:44And now, ladies and gentlemen, here live on Monday Nitro,

01:18:48it's the match we've been waiting for with the WCW World title on the line.

01:18:53Here comes the challenge.

01:19:14Oh!

01:19:23David Flair, how much more can, and I hate to say that, I really feel sorry for David.

01:19:28An innocent bystander in this war perpetrated by his own father.

01:19:35Nash, Nash, Nash, Nash, Nash, I have done everything you asked me to do, please.

01:19:43I've done everything.

01:19:44I've done everything.

01:19:45Brother, this is not an easy job tonight, pal.

01:19:46I've done everything.

01:19:47Now let me have my son back, please.

01:19:50Please.

01:19:51Come on.

01:19:52Enough.

01:19:53Please.

01:19:54I've done everything.

01:19:55I've done everything.

01:19:56I've done everything.

01:19:58I've done everything.

01:19:59I've done everything.

01:20:00Now let me have my son back, please.

01:20:08Please.

01:20:09Come on.

01:20:10Enough.

01:20:11Please.

01:20:12I've done everything.

01:20:16Please, I've done everything.

01:20:18Please, please, I've done everything.

01:20:25Wait a minute.

01:20:30No.

01:20:32Jack Knife.

01:20:37He's gonna get his carcass, is what he's gonna get.

01:20:42Security comes in and pulls out a crumpled mess of David Flair.

01:20:49And here comes the heavyweight champion of the world.

01:20:55What intensity we're gonna have here.

01:20:58He didn't want to have this match, but he's got it six days before these same two men collide.

01:21:07Without a doubt, the biggest rivalry of the year 2001 in all of WCW, Scott.

01:21:13When they came to the building tonight in Biloxi, neither man knew this match would take place.

01:21:20It took the victory of Dustin Rhodes over Rick Steiner earlier tonight for this one to become signed, sealed, and delivered.

01:21:27Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner of the world heavyweight titles.

01:21:30Look at the way Nash just threw him into the ring.

01:21:33And look at this.

01:21:34Steiner tries to turn the tables, and Nash will have none of it.

01:21:37One, two.

01:21:38New table.

01:21:39No.

01:21:40As we are six days away from Super Brawl Revenge, will Kevin Nash head to Nashville as the world champion?

01:21:47We're about to find out right now.

01:21:49Have we ever seen anyone manhandle Scott Steiner like this?

01:21:54The biggest prize in all of WCWs on the line?

01:21:59Can Kevin Nash derail Steiner or will big pump pump?

01:22:04Can we ever see anyone manhandle Scott Steiner like this?

01:22:09The biggest prize in all of WCWs on the line?

01:22:14Can Kevin Nash derail Steiner or will big pump pump?

01:22:18Continue his dominance.

01:22:20He has dominated everyone.

01:22:21He has sent people to the hospital out of WCW, right and left.

01:22:25But now Kevin Nash.

01:22:27Kevin Nash is hammering the world champion in the corner.

01:22:32And look at this.

01:22:33Steiner goes down.

01:22:35We may have a new world champion.

01:22:37Ric Flair said it crystal clear earlier.

01:22:39No interference.

01:22:41If this match ended up taking place, there would be no interference.

01:22:46And that looms large over this world heavyweight championship contest.

01:22:52And speaking of large, the seven footer has big pop up pump into the guard rack.

01:22:58And look out back.

01:22:59Careful.

01:23:00Careful.

01:23:01What are we doing?

01:23:02Kill Nash.

01:23:04What are we doing?

01:23:05Kill Nash.

01:23:06What are we doing?

01:23:07Kill Nash.

01:23:08Flair just extended no interference.

01:23:10He said go kill Nash.

01:23:12He was talking to his troops.

01:23:14He said no interference earlier and then he just went ballistic when he put David Flair in the car.

01:23:20We're never gonna get a fair fight here.

01:23:22Ric Flair is sending the troops back into the arena.

01:23:25What happened to no interference?

01:23:27Flair has the savvy and the resources.

01:23:30And right now, he has the emotion to see that Steiner remains the champion.

01:23:35Can Kevin Nash battle through this?

01:23:37Kevin Nash could go to Supergirl in only six days, fans, as the world champion went against insurmountable odds.

01:23:46We're gonna find out.

01:23:47Look at this.

01:23:48Whoa.

01:23:49That's a belly to belly on a seven footer.

01:23:52One, two.

01:23:53Oh.

01:23:54But he got out of it.

01:23:55He got out of it.

01:23:56He can get in the face of the referee all he wants, but it was a clean kick out.

01:24:01It certainly wasn't.

01:24:02Scott Steiner's not used to that.

01:24:04Remember, neither man knew this match would take place.

01:24:07Look at the training.

01:24:08The intensive training.

01:24:10Reviewing videotapes of your opponent.

01:24:12They didn't have a chance to do any of that before this night.

01:24:15This is raw brutality.

01:24:18Two mastodons doing damage with Biloxi on Nitro.

01:24:22Steiner and Nash, the world title at stake.

01:24:25These two guys, it's more than just the world title.

01:24:28They hate each other.

01:24:30You can see it.

01:24:31You can feel it.

01:24:32It's a sample of what Superbrawl six days out this Sunday is gonna be about when the WCW title is on the line once again.

01:24:41But who is gonna go into Nashville this Sunday wearing the gold belt?

01:24:46Down it goes Nash.

01:24:48Down goes Steiner.

01:24:50And Steiner pulled off on him.

01:24:52Of course he did.

01:24:53A couple of push-ups, semi-symmetrics.

01:24:55And Scott Steiner and Kevin Nash, no matter what happens tonight, and between tonight and next Sunday, neither man will ever be the same again.

01:25:04It is finished.

01:25:05Here come the troops.

01:25:06I got cut off.

01:25:07Hitted off to the pants by the cat.

01:25:08The cat dusted.

01:25:09Where's Brian Clark?

01:25:10Brian Clark, where did he come from?

01:25:11I thought he was injured.

01:25:12This could be it.

01:25:13This could be the turning point.

01:25:14They've held him at bay.

01:25:15Nobody's getting to the ring and a belly to back suplex.

01:25:17It's gonna be a fair fight after all.

01:25:18No interference.

01:25:19Hell firm.

01:25:20It's just mano a mano.

01:25:21Man on man.

01:25:22One on one.

01:25:23The way it should be.

01:25:24But now, who's gonna have the guts, the perseverance, the tenacity to put it into high gear, to take it home, to win the darn thing?

01:25:32Who's gonna become the world champion?

01:25:34Yes, here's what it's all about.

01:25:35Steiner duct it, but he can't get over.

01:25:36Got him.

01:25:37One, two, that's all.

01:25:39He kicked out.

01:25:53That's what being the world champion's all about.

01:25:54Somewhere in the back of their mind they realize the nose.

01:25:59Somewhere in the back of their mind, they realize the no-interference clause is over.

01:26:04Don't go, Steiner.

01:26:06The seven-footer.

01:26:07Drop.

01:26:07Big Papa Pop.

01:26:09And down.

01:26:09Come the straps.

01:26:12He's going for it all.

01:26:14That means Jack Knight.

01:26:16Count.

01:26:16And here comes Rick Flair.

01:26:19That's not the nature boy.

01:26:21That's not the boss.

01:26:23That's the father of David Flair.

01:26:25He's in the ring.

01:26:27Oh, no.

01:26:29Flair overcoming the motion.

01:26:31The referee calls for the barrel, and they throw it out.

01:26:35But the war's directed.

01:26:36Oh, right in the face.

01:26:39David Flair is safely out of the arena, off the property.

01:26:44But Ric Flair is in a lot of danger right now.

01:26:48Who's got him up?

01:26:49Yeah.

01:26:50Steiner.

01:26:51No, with a lead pipe.

01:26:53In the back of the knee, on the side of the knee.

01:26:57Oh, no.

01:26:59He went down in a heap.

01:27:01Wait a minute.

01:27:03No.

01:27:03Scott, no.

01:27:05Scott sucks tennis before Super Bowl remains.

01:27:08He's trying to break his leg.

01:27:10He's got very vulnerable knees.

01:27:12He's gonna do more than break his leg.

01:27:14He's gonna crush his knee.

01:27:15Will Kevin Nash be able to see the title match at Super Bowl or not?

01:27:20Spider cual.

01:27:21Yeah.

01:27:22Thanks.

01:27:22And he's going to make a subscribe rival.

01:27:25It's Miriam.

01:27:26Boy.

01:27:26Very well.

01:27:27Paul.

01:27:28Oh.

01:27:29Girl.
