Transcript

00:00Sting with the Irish Whip, here comes the Stinger Splash, oh but nobody home, nobody there, Stingley have knocked the breath out of himself there, the heavyweight champion of the world, sailed into the top turnbuckle, and now Ric Flair will go up to the top, Sting with the right hand, he's going to bring the challenger down,

00:30today's program is brought to you in part by, Nintendo, now you're playing with power, and by, Three Musketeers, big on chocolate,

00:49Hi everybody, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zabisco, welcome to WGN and WCW Pro Chicago, on the program this week we'll take a look at what transpired of the Meadowlands between Ric Flair and Sting, nice shirt Larry, that'll be with us this week, very nice jacket Tony,

01:05What about Ric Flair and Sting today on the program?

01:08Well you know, obviously that's one of the highlights of 1990s, you know, Sting with a James Buster Douglas syndrome, and Ric Flair proving to the world, seven time heavyweight champion, that Ric Flair is the man of the hour

01:20And then the big rematch, Barry Windham, Arne Anderson will take on Wildfire Champion Rich and Ricky Morton

01:24Yeah, but that's a match again that Morton and Rich were crybabying about, pulled the right strings, it shouldn't be a rematch because Arne Anderson and Barry Windham beat them fair and square

01:33And we'll see in action once again, Sid Vicious in singles competition, last week they had to send a stretcher in and take a guy out

01:39Yeah, Sid Vicious, you know, he's the most awesome wrestler I've seen for 1990, I love him

01:44Okay, you love him and he loves no one, let's go to the ring this week for action

01:48Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is set for one fall

01:53Introducing first, the administrative assistant, Alexandra York

01:56She presents at 249 pounds from the financial district of lower Manhattan, Michael Wolfe Street

02:04Yeah, Tony, she looks like she's a very serious fool today, doesn't she?

02:08At 223 pounds, Powerhouse Parker

02:12I think she is serious, Larry's the best skulls

02:15We take a look at Tim Parker and she has the microphone, let's listen to her

02:18Michael Wolfe Street, with the feet, Tim Parker, in less than 5 minutes, 12 seconds

02:27What do you think about that?

02:30Well, I think having a woman in your corner is enough motivation to do what they say

02:33Or they can make her life very, very miserable

02:35You know, Michael Wolfe Street is no stranger to the ring, very capable

02:39And his opponent here, Powerhouse Parker, looks like he's in very good shape

02:43We'll see what the kid has on the ball

02:45And let's see what the printout says

02:46As a matter of fact, some comments earlier on from Michael Wolfe Street

02:49Along with Alexandra York that we had a chance to record

02:52Let's listen in to the duo right now

02:53Once again, I'm going to tell everyone out there

02:59And make it real simple so everyone can understand

03:02Like a good stock, Michael Wolfe Street is unbeatable

03:06And you people better remember the name Wall Street

03:08Very confident as he is very deliberate in taking off his attire

03:15And there's the printout, Alexandra York and Michael Wolfe Street

03:19Happy looking individual there

03:22You think that's happy?

03:23Well, I think it's concentration

03:24You know, I mean, Mike Wolfe Street is a seasoned veteran

03:27But again, Powerhouse Parker looks in good shape

03:31And if he beats Michael Wolfe Street, it's a reputation for him

03:34You know, we have a hungry man here in the blue tights

03:37That's going out for reputation

03:38Michael Wolfe Street, of course, trying to go for that big, big money in top slots

03:41And cannot afford a defeat

03:43He goes, he made Wall Street right to the arm

03:47And with a hammerlock and take down, there's Alexandra

03:49Constantly updating the fines

03:53Smile on her face also

03:56Don't let it fool you

03:58I won't

04:00You've educated me in womanhood the last couple of weeks

04:04My motto, my way or the highway

04:06From the top wrist like a hair takedown

04:09I wonder if that's part of the program, Larry

04:11Well, you know, this Powerhouse Parker

04:13Looks like he's got some muscle there

04:15Obviously he's in good shape

04:16Which means he's got some endurance

04:17And, you know, Mike Wolfe Street being a veteran

04:20He's willing to take advantage of anything he can like right there

04:23Slap right to the chest

04:26Wall Street now with that uppercut forearm

04:29He caught the leg of Parker

04:31Showing a lot of quickness

04:33And there's just a simple leg trip that time

04:34Right down to the knee

04:36Great execution

04:38Always on the part of Wall Street

04:39Well, he knows what he's doing

04:40And he's staying on the man

04:42He's being aggressive

04:43He's not giving him a chance to recover

04:45Boom

04:48Wow, into the other corner

04:50A lot of high-impact maneuvers that time

04:53And Powerhouse Parker

04:54Who's a fine athlete, as you can tell

04:55As you said, Larry

04:56Is having these problems with Michael Wall Street

04:59Nice abdominal scratch and extra leverage

05:01Yeah

05:02Referee, of course, is in a good position to pull that off

05:05And, of course, I guess you would feel

05:07If you don't see it, it's not cheating

05:09You know, my high school wrestling coach

05:11Taught me right off the bat

05:12Rules are not to be broken, Tony

05:13They are to be taken advantage of

05:16Contrary to popular belief

05:18This is professional wrestling

05:19Isn't that one and the same thing?

05:22Pardon?

05:22Breaking a rule and taking advantage of a rule

05:25Would you consider that one and the same thing?

05:26No, I do not consider that

05:27Okay, anyway, back to the action

05:31As that is a cross right to the chin

05:33And Wall Street now on the ride

05:36Whoa

05:37Picks him up

05:38Dumps him over with the stock market crash

05:42That's going to take care of the win for Mr. Parker

05:44Here is your winner, Michael Wall Street

05:49Michael Wall Street picks up the win on WCW Pro Chicago

05:55Larry Zabisco, here it is once again

05:57Well, he did beat the computer time limit of 5 minutes and 12 seconds

06:01The Wall Street crash

06:03He had no trouble at all with Mr. Parker

06:05Who was in good shape

06:06But the ring veteran shines through again, Tony

06:091, 2, 3

06:10It's our Western Union replay

06:12And Michael Wall Street wraps it up

06:14A reminder, Western Union, the fastest way to send money

07:20Fans of this part of World Championship Wrestling

07:34Pro Chicago

07:35We're going to take a look

07:36At what many people consider

07:37A very controversial match

07:38Between Ric Flair and Sting

07:40It happened in the Meadowlands

07:41Where Ric Flair became

07:41Seven-time World Heavyweight Champion

07:44You know, what we're going to see, Tony

07:45Is what I've been talking about

07:47The whole time

07:48Experience, experience, experience

07:51And Sting could not compete with it

07:54We'll take a look at what actually transpired

07:57Let's go to the match right now

07:58From the Meadowlands

07:59Ric Flair and Sting

08:00There a ram headfirst into the turnbuckle

08:03The champion Sting down also

08:06What a fiscal affair we have seen here in the Meadowlands

08:09In this battle

08:10For the Heavyweight Championship of the World

08:13The champion

08:14And there's the challenger

08:15Nature Boy Ric Flair

08:17Who wants to become

08:18On this evening

08:19The seventh-time

08:20Heavyweight Champion

08:22Hot headlock

08:26But Sting reverses it

08:27Into the head center

08:28Look at the great strength

08:30The bridge up

08:31Sting now

08:33Trying to get Flair

08:34Over the pinning predicament

08:36And end it right here

08:38One

08:39Two

08:39And a half

08:41Flair backing away

08:48Flair backing away

08:52He's nailing him

08:54Crowd here in the Meadowlands

08:57And East Rutherford, New Jersey

08:58Counting along

08:59Flair to the corner

09:00He's upside down

09:01And he's nailed by a clothesline

09:04The challenger for the title

09:08Nature Boy Ric Flair

09:09Nailed

09:10But there's a thumb to the eye

09:12Flair caught him with a thumb to the eye

09:14Team blocks that move

09:16Downstairs

09:17Oh

09:17His head

09:19Was just

09:19Wrecked across the

09:21Steel security railing

09:22Keep that number one

09:23Ric Flair's head

09:25Just racked

09:26Across the security railing

09:28Flair has

09:32Been deeply lacerated here

09:34Sting now

09:37Going after the challenger

09:39Flair is hurt

09:41Ric Flair is in trouble

09:42The world's heavyweight champion

09:44Sting

09:45On the offensive

09:46It may now just be a matter of time

09:50In another clothesline

09:52Sting has things going his way

09:59Here in the Meadowlands

10:01Now we go to school

10:02We heard that

10:04Sting just now we go to school

10:06To steal a phrase out of the

10:08Book of Nature Boy Ric Flair

10:11And Sting follows it up with right hand

10:13The Clarence flowing from the head

10:18Of the Nature Boy

10:19Flair with all he's got

10:23But it doesn't seem to phase the champion

10:27Flair giving it all he has

10:30But Sting

10:31Just shakes it off

10:35Sends Flair for the rise

10:37He's got him up

10:38From the military press

10:39The referee asking Flair if he wants to give it up

10:47And Flair says no

10:48But how much more can Ric Flair take

10:51Sting with the Irish whip

10:54Here comes the Stinger splash

10:56Oh but nobody home

10:58Nobody there

11:01Sting may have knocked the breath out of himself

11:03There

11:03The heavyweight champion of the world

11:07Sailed into the top turnbuckle

11:10And now Ric Flair will go up to the top

11:13Sting with the right hand

11:16He's going to bring the challenger down

11:19Flair

11:20Slammed almost halfway across the ring

11:23By the champion of the world

11:25Flying clothesline

11:27This may be all

11:28Flair has been battered

11:31And we're inches away

11:32Sting thought he had it

11:34He thought he had it right there

11:36And now the Stinger

11:40High-risk move

11:41He's on the top rope

11:42Flair making his way up to his feet

11:47There goes Sting

11:48Oh no

11:49He hit the referee

11:50Sting's right knee

11:51Hit the referee right in the head

11:53He has Flair pinned

11:55But the referee is out of it

11:57It had to be inadvertent

11:59Obviously it was

12:02And now Flair from behind

12:04A real cheap shot

12:05As he knees Flair to the

12:07Or Sting to the outside

12:08Inside cradle

12:13Again

12:13The champion has Flair pinned

12:15The referee cannot get up to make the count

12:19Sting really cooking now

12:21They go to the ropes

12:24Oh their heads crack together

12:26Flair falls on top

12:27The referee to make the count

12:29Sting's foot is on the rope

12:30Sting's foot was on the rope

12:32Sting's foot was on the rope

12:32Sting had his foot on the rope

12:36I don't think the referee saw it

12:41Ric Flair is going to win the title

12:45Ric Flair

12:49Sting's foot was on the rope

12:50Flair wins the title

12:52For the seventh time

12:54Ric Flair is the new heavyweight champion

12:57Of the world

12:58Tell you what Larry

13:02A very questionable call

13:03Right at the end

13:03You know something Tony

13:05It wasn't a question in my mind

13:07Whatsoever

13:07I clearly saw the referee

13:09Count one

13:10Two

13:10Three

13:11And clearly saw Ric Flair

13:13Defeat Sting

13:14In the middle of the ring

13:15There's no question now

13:16They will be coming after Ric Flair

13:18From all sides

13:19Everybody trying to get

13:20Out of that world title

13:21The man who's first on the list

13:23We understand

13:23Is Scott Steiner

13:25One half

13:25Of the U.S. Tag Team Champions

13:27Larry and I will be back

13:27With more

13:28Right after this timeout

13:29Ladies and gentlemen

13:33The final win

13:33Contest of second one fall

13:35Introducing first

13:36The United States

13:37Tenweight Champion

13:38From Chicago, Illinois

13:40He is the

13:41Total package

13:42Alex Luger

13:44Local boy here

13:47Huh Tony

13:48Yeah he's a Chicago boy

13:49From Seattle, Washington

13:50John Peterson

13:52Going up against

13:53John Peterson

13:54In this event

13:55You know Charles Darwin

13:57Tried to convince us

13:58That we all came from monkeys

13:59His problem was

14:00He had no missing link

14:01Then along came Luger

14:03Oh for goodness

14:04Thanks Larry

14:05Look at the head

14:05You know not taking

14:08Nothing away

14:09Luger's one of the most

14:10Outstanding

14:11Physical specimens

14:12I've seen in my

14:13You know glorious

14:1315, 16 years

14:15In the wrestling

14:15Make up your mind

14:16Is it 15 or 16

14:17Somewhere around 15-ish

14:18Okay

14:19And you know

14:20Being the U.S. champion

14:21You can't take nothing

14:22Away from the man

14:23He is a strong

14:24Super conditioned individual

14:26And he's starting

14:28To get a hang of it

14:29Good arm drag there

14:30By Lex

14:31You're right about

14:32Starting to get a hang of it

14:33And of course

14:33He is a man

14:34That has

14:37Proven himself

14:39Even to a tough guy

14:40Like Stan

14:41The Larian Hanson

14:41When he recaptured

14:42The U.S. title

14:43Stan Hanson

14:46Is a notorious

14:46Over 300 pound thug

14:48And Luger

14:49Who depends

14:50So much on power

14:51I think

14:52We see that transition

14:53Where he's becoming

14:54Now

14:55A full-fledged

14:56Ring veteran

14:56And getting that

14:57Moves

14:58And getting that

14:58Timing

14:59And getting that leverage

15:00You know

15:00It was a beautiful

15:01Arm drag

15:01That a big man

15:02Executed here

15:03Absolutely right

15:04And Peterson

15:05Apparently

15:06Just by looking

15:07No match

15:07For the U.S. champion

15:08No doubt

15:09As far as popularity goes

15:11Luger

15:11One of the most popular

15:12In world championship wrestling

15:13And now

15:15The referee

15:16Calling for the break

15:16And Peterson

15:17Got a

15:17Shot in

15:18Cheap shot

15:19Cheap shot

15:20You may call it that

15:21Certainly

15:21But he needed to take

15:22The advantage

15:22Any that he could

15:24And well

15:24Luger now

15:25Is firing back on it

15:26I think once he tied up

15:27With Lex

15:28He realized

15:28That I don't have a chance

15:29Unless I take cheap shots

15:30And he's going up

15:31Could be

15:33And is

15:34A vertical suplex

15:35Tremendous execution

15:39By the champ

15:40And now

15:40Sends him in

15:42Boom

15:44I was born

15:47On the south side

15:48Of Chicago

15:48I didn't know

15:49Luger was

15:49A Chicago boy

15:50Maybe someday

15:52We'll have an opportunity

15:53To get together

15:55I'm sure he will like that

15:56Picks him up

15:57With the

15:58Human torture rack

15:59And puts him down

16:01Here is your winner

16:02Of the total package

16:04Alex Luger

16:05And nobody better

16:07To show our

16:08Nintendo power play

16:10Than the total package

16:11Lex Luger

16:12Well obviously

16:13Tony

16:14Lex Luger

16:14Like Nintendo

16:15Is playing with

16:16Power

16:17Scooping up

16:18Mr. Peterson

16:19Like nothing

16:20Bringing him down

16:20That takes care

16:21Of the win

16:22And I think

16:22With the coup

16:23To Gracie

16:24Right there

16:25No contest

16:27Lex Luger

16:30Picks up the win

16:31Here on channel 9

16:32Still to come

16:33Sid Vicious

16:33In our big return bout

16:35Barry Windham

16:37On Anderson

16:37Against Tommy Rich

16:38And Ricky Martin

16:39Nintendo

16:40Now you're playing

16:41With power

16:41More to come

16:42Stay with us

16:42You know the popularity

16:47Of wrestling

16:48During wartimes

16:49Is an interesting thing

16:50For that matter

16:51The whole entertainment world

16:52Does good business

16:53During times like these

16:54In World War II

16:55For example

16:56The theaters

16:56Did a lot of business

16:58Why

16:58Because

16:59Of the stressful times

17:01And of course

17:01The worries

17:02And the nervousness

17:03Of the whole picture

17:04We have to get away

17:05Once in a while

17:06Back away

17:07And get a chance

17:07To recharge that battery

17:09Get a little escape

17:10And wrestling

17:11Not only does that

17:12But it also

17:13Gives an added feature

17:14That other entertainment

17:15Sometimes does not

17:16It features strength

17:18Power

17:19Conditioning

17:21Consequently

17:23This is a wonderful way

17:24To recharge the battery

17:26Hopefully

17:27Each of us

17:28In his or her own way

17:29Will do just exactly that

17:31We will be prepared

17:33As our country is prepared

17:35And by golly

17:36We're going to keep it that way

17:38Weigh in at 321 pounds, a member of the four horsemen, he says he's from anywhere he darn

18:02well pleases, Big Sid Fisher. I still think he looks like the Sears Tower walking out. In the ring, his opponent from Cincinnati, Ohio, Johnny Boyd. He stands as big and as tall as the Sears Tower, you're right, and as a matter of fact, speaking of the Sears Tower in Chicago, we're going to be coming back to the UIC Pavilion, as we've said, on Friday, February 22nd, 8 o'clock, as Sid Fisher works on his opponent

18:31with the new world champion, as we saw, who had his foot on the rope against Sting, and I'm not going to dwell on that, against El Gigante for the world title in Chicago, and now the chest sent right up to the rail.

18:45Now here's the thing that's going to take Sid Vicious all the way to the top of professional wrestling. He's got what it takes, and I'm talking about less scruples than a warrior has. That's the viciousness you need. He started it off the bat, one of the most aggressive men I've seen besides myself,

19:00and that is one of the key ingredients.

19:04The very aggressive Sid Vicious comes in now, and showing his power, picking up his opponent.

19:10Whoa!

19:12Who is this poor soul he's in with anyway?

19:15I think it's one of the Arbonne boys.

19:18The late, great Arbonne boys.

19:20See, I told everybody in WCW, three weeks ago, if you come to that ring, you would be stretchered out.

19:27So go ahead and do yourself that favor, call 9-1-1 before you get there.

19:34Some pre-recorded comments from Sid Vicious, who is warning people about the stretcher.

19:43Now, here comes a pickup.

19:46Possibly a pile drum.

19:47Maybe the power bomb coming right here.

19:49Well, here's 9-1-1 coming up for you.

19:51It is the power bomb!

19:52And this guy's out also.

19:55He's calling for the stretcher right now.

19:57You see him say, call for the stretcher.

19:59That leads me to believe...

20:00The winner of the match is Big Sid Vicious!

20:02Just like last week, and like he said at the top of the program, that these guys are not really doctors.

20:08What makes you think they're not doctors?

20:09They look like a bunch of geeks to me.

20:11Well, hey, you think doctors aren't geeks?

20:13You know, here's Sid Vicious with the power.

20:16He's talking about, you know, playing with the power.

20:18Up and down.

20:20And the late Arvin boys.

20:24All right, here we go again.

20:25Now Vicious.

20:26Look at him.

20:26See, they're just standing there.

20:28They need to get this man out quickly.

20:29Well, Tony, what are you going to do?

20:30Are you going to get a little doctor like that with a little pot belly?

20:33And he's going to, like, stop Sid Vicious from doing anything he wants?

20:36Somebody's got to stop Sid Vicious.

20:37So it's not going to be the paramedics, I'll tell you that.

20:40They need to get the guy out of there quickly, and they just kind of hang around until he stumps them off the kerney.

20:45Maybe that's how they got to be doctors.

20:46They're smart.

20:47They're not going to mess with Sid.

20:48You lost one day.

20:49All right, what's that?

20:50I can't have no money.

20:52I know that.

20:52I don't like no money.

20:54Good.

20:54Not many people like you either, fella.

20:56Hey, it doesn't matter if they like you or not.

20:58Sid Vicious is winning.

20:59And we'll be back, fans.

21:00Stay right with us.

21:01He lost me.

22:05It's now time for our big feature match-over return match tag team from last week.

22:10WCW officials looked at the tape, and they have demanded the rematch this week.

22:14Barry Windham, Arn Anderson against Wildfire, Tommy Rich and Ricky Morton.

22:17We know this is definitely going to be a real exciting match, even though it's a match that doesn't deserve to happen.

22:22A little crying on the part of Morton and Rich might have paid off,

22:25but my money is still on Arn Anderson and Barry Windham.

22:28And here's what happened just last week right here on Channel 9 to lead into today's big rematch.

22:36Throws him up.

22:37Anderson from behind.

22:39He got him from behind, and the referee didn't see it.

22:41Arn Anderson was there, Tony, waiting for that.

22:43That's the teamwork that we were talking about.

22:45All right.

22:47Now Morton.

22:48Oh.

22:49He got him.

22:51Windham's going to fall on him.

22:52Wait a minute.

22:53His foot's on the rope, and Arn Anderson pushed it off.

22:55He got him.

22:57The foot was on the rope.

22:59Ladies and gentlemen, the winners of the match, the four horsemen, Barry Windham and Arn Anderson.

23:06Wrestling fans, the following return matches set for one fall.

23:10Introducing first the four horsemen, horse from Sweetwater, Texas, at 280 pounds, Barry Windham.

23:17And his partner from Indianapolis, Minnesota, weighing in a 240-hour pass, horse from Arn Anderson.

23:25All right, so here we go with our return match, Larry, like we talked about.

23:35Put on the rope, as you saw in the earlier footing.

23:38Well, actually, the foot was on the rope, but then Arn Anderson threw it off.

23:41So actually, it was a legal three count, as far as I'm concerned.

23:44And this match, I think it was the result of Richard Morton crying.

23:47Pull it first from Indiana, Georgia, at 21, 18 pounds, Wildfire, Tommy Ricks.

23:54And his partner from Nicholas to the sea, one half of the Rock and Roll Express, Ricky Morton.

24:00The WCW officials review the tape, and we have our rematch.

24:04Tag team, and our fans are ready for this encounter.

24:06Barry Windham and Arn Anderson going up against Wildfire, Tommy Ricks, and Ricky Morton.

24:11And before the match gets underway here, we understand, standing by back in the dressing room area,

24:15one half of Doom, Rod Simmons, along with the Manager of the Year, the Godfather, Theodore Arlong.

24:21In case you don't know what it is, it's the most prestigious award in professional wrestling.

24:25It's Manager of the Year.

24:27And I, the Godfather, I hold it.

24:29So me and the Godmama, we're still partying, we're still late playing and calling, and we ain't worried about nothing.

24:36Apparently not.

24:38Not worried about anything.

24:39All right, shoots Barry Windham in.

24:41What do you look for here, Larry?

24:43Well, I'm looking for, really, Tommy Ricks and Rick Morton to really be fired up.

24:49They are, you know, two veterans.

24:51They feel, you know, with all their crying that they deserve this rematch.

24:56And believe me, they're going to be going all out to win.

25:00So I look for a very, very aggressive Rich and Morton.

25:04Well, let's see if they can do that against two of the more aggressive ones ever in the sport.

25:08Side headlock takeover.

25:10And there you go as Rich comes up with a head scissors to put the big guy in trouble earlier on.

25:18Windham trying to get out.

25:19He cannot squirm out as Rich has it firmly clamped around the head.

25:23It's going to be an interesting chess game match here because they both want it very, very badly.

25:29Oh, oh, oh.

25:30Boy, he nailed it.

25:33Start that pace off, Barry.

25:34Oh.

25:37Oh.

25:39He knocked a taste right out of his mouth that time.

25:44A little disappointed in Tommy Rich here.

25:46He's got to keep it going.

25:48Here he comes, firing back now with the right hands.

25:52And sets Windham down with an elbow and Barry quickly gets the team member in there.

25:58This is what I'm talking about.

25:59These guys are going to do their best not to let the horsemen keep them down.

26:04We don't want you to be down either, fans.

26:07And want you to be up and be part of the big crowd of the UIC Pavilion.

26:11Friday, the 22nd of February of this month.

26:15Listen to this.

26:16Barry Windham, Sid Vicious, and Stan Hansen against the Z-Man and the Steiners is one of the matches.

26:21Arne Anderson and beautiful Bobby.

26:24Doom against Lex Luger and Sting.

26:25What is it?

26:26Now tell them the big, big news.

26:28Larry Zbysko will be on the card.

26:30Larry Zbysko has agreed to sign and grace the people of Chicago.

26:34With his art.

26:36Do me a favor.

26:37Don't take the crowd's microphone to say anything to the fans there that night.

26:41I don't need to talk to the fans.

26:42They know you.

26:43They see you right here on Channel 9.

26:44They hear enough of you, I would imagine.

26:46The Enforcer.

26:51Pulled the hair, possibly.

26:52I like Arne Anderson's style.

26:53Oh, I know you do.

26:54That's right in the guidelines of Larry Land, I would think.

26:58In fact, there's a toll-free number you can call for Larry Land.

27:011-900, you lose.

27:07Anderson back to a corner.

27:12Now right to the arm.

27:14And Rich, a great reversal to the Enforcer, Arne Anderson.

27:17A tag.

27:17And here comes Ricky Martin.

27:18Okay, let's see if they start making their move with their teamwork here.

27:20They've got to get the momentum going in their favor.

27:25Well, Morton, that's uncharacteristic to try to slow it down.

27:28But apparently, they want to work on the arm.

27:30Well, they want to try to keep, you know, Arne Anderson or Barry Windham in there by themselves.

27:34Keep the hold on them.

27:35Start to wear them down.

27:37They can't have two big men tagging in and tagging out.

27:39Nobody there.

27:44Good arm drag.

27:46Very deep arm drag took him down and comes right up with the arm off.

27:51You're Morton real fast, wrestler.

27:53Real fast.

27:57Fans right behind him, too.

27:59Well, fan support does not buy you a cup of coffee.

28:03I know that.

28:05Fans don't know that.

28:07I don't know what they know.

28:08I think this is high school with money or something.

28:12Back to the corner now.

28:15A headbutt.

28:18Well, that was as solid as the window of a Lake Michigan right there.

28:23Second one.

28:25Sends him over.

28:27Flipped him out.

28:28And we hear from Tony Gillum, the ring announcer.

28:30We've got five minutes.

28:31Now, Arne Anderson looks a little perplexed here.

28:34I think he's having a hard time keeping up with the speed of Morton.

28:38And Ricky Morton is still being very deliberate after a move.

28:41He is allowing Anderson to stay in that corner.

28:43But I think that's a good move.

28:44I wouldn't go in the corner after him either.

28:46Make him come out in the middle.

28:47And Morton ready to duke it out if Arne Anderson would want.

28:53He's the enforcer, Arne Anderson.

28:55And he's going up against Ricky Morton.

28:57Yeah, I think the wrestling fans are really being inconsiderate here.

29:01You know, keep it down.

29:03Well, let's see what transpires.

29:05We have to take a break.

29:06Tape machines are rolling, fans.

29:07Stay with us on Channel 9.

29:08We continue on Channel 9.

29:14It's Barry Windham and against Ricky Morton.

29:17And Ricky Morton finds himself in a lot of trouble here.

29:20But, no, he fires back again.

29:22And a backhand shot that time.

29:24Morton just will not stay down, Larry.

29:26That's pure determination, Tony.

29:28Pure determination on both the part of Rich and Morton.

29:32And believe me, they're both experienced.

29:34All four of them are experienced.

29:35Heck of a match.

29:38Rich.

29:39Right to the forehead of Windham.

29:45Over the top.

29:47Down to the floor.

29:49All the way down to the mat on the outside.

29:51That's a big man to shoot over the top.

29:53Real big man.

29:58Right to the chest.

29:59And going to help him in.

30:04Wow, Windham hits hard.

30:05Cover.

30:07Did not hook a leg.

30:08No, he didn't hook anything.

30:10Back to that wrestling hole, Tony.

30:12Keep the man down.

30:14They got the right strategy.

30:15They got the right plan of attack.

30:17Time will tell.

30:18In comes Morton.

30:21And Morton goes right to the chest as well.

30:23There's our good friend Larry Zabisco being on the card in Chicago.

30:26Actually, I can't wait.

30:27The more I watch, the more I just, you know,

30:30know that need for the people of Chicago to see the best.

30:33And I am the best of the best.

30:35As I was saying, Ricky Morton and Tommy Rich will also be on the card.

30:39Good arm bar.

30:40Notice the leverage.

30:41How far back he had that arm.

30:44Morton, you know, he's a gritty young guy.

30:48He's always had a lot of determination, a lot of courage in the ring.

30:51And it takes a lot of courage to go in.

30:52Real fiery.

30:53And he uses the weapons he has.

30:58The speed, the leverage.

31:02Larry Wyndham using the power.

31:05Wyndham turns his back on him.

31:06Wyndham do it.

31:07He should never have turned his back on him.

31:09Well, that's an old Wyndham maneuver.

31:11And Morton was waiting for it, Larry.

31:13And that is to turn your back on a guy.

31:16And then turn around and pop him in the mouth.

31:18Okay, well, obviously, you know, if you've been in the area long enough, these guys are wise to individual little tricks.

31:23Believe me.

31:24They watch tapes.

31:25They watch shows.

31:26And they know.

31:27Well, there was a switch at time without the benefit of a tag.

31:30Cheating on the tie on the part of Richard Morton.

31:33Well, you're an expert on that, fella.

31:35Well, yeah.

31:35That's downright cheating.

31:36And there, you take a look at Anderson, upset.

31:43But the fresh man is in.

31:46And Randy Anderson, now, the referee does have the discretion here to call Morton back in.

31:52Well, you'd think, you know, again, the ignorance of the crowd shows, too.

31:55You'd think the crowd would be saying, hey, they didn't tag.

32:00Why do you think they would give the horsemen any advantage at all?

32:04Look at this American way.

32:05Honesty and justice, Tony, right?

32:07Well, yeah.

32:08Well, then I think we should get Ricky Morton back in the ring.

32:11How about maybe I'll go down there myself and point this out?

32:14Stay right here, okay?

32:15You're going to have plenty of chances to get into the ring, and our fans in Chicago are going to find out on February 22nd.

32:25Hammer lock applied, or is that a wrist lock?

32:26It's a hammer lock.

32:29Right from behind.

32:30Hammer lock involves the elbow.

32:31Wrist lock involves the wrist.

32:32That's kind of elementary.

32:35Good fireman's carry.

32:37Wow.

32:38Wyndham got right out of it and was able to make a tag, and here comes Arne Anderson.

32:42You didn't see him coming, and down goes Morton.

32:44And Anderson, as you can see, is ready for a fight now.

32:48That's why they call him the enforcer.

32:51And I'm sure, you know, Arne Anderson is wise enough to stay on this man.

32:55They should also call him the intimidator, because that's exactly what he is.

33:02A rig to the eyes.

33:05Look, I have a low shot there by Morton.

33:11That's it.

33:13Oh!

33:14Pushes him in on Anderson.

33:17Peeled off of that one.

33:18That's ten minutes.

33:19At the ten minute mark, he goes right to the head.

33:22Going for the figure four.

33:23He's got it on him, Tony.

33:25And this could be it with a figure four leg lock put on on Anderson.

33:29Wyndham not coming in.

33:31And the referee's trying to do a good job.

33:32Arm better start rolling to the goal.

33:34He got out of it.

33:35Well, he did.

33:35The teamwork.

33:37Tommy Rich was trying to prevent Barry Wyndham, but in effect, he helped Barry Wyndham to get in.

33:42Actually, the referee did go over to push out Rich.

33:45Gave Wyndham the opportunity to exercise that teamwork.

33:48Ricky Morton.

33:49We've got to take a break, Larry.

33:51I'm sorry.

33:51Take machines will be rolling.

33:52There's something happening.

33:53You'll find out on Channel 9.

33:57World Championship Wrestling returns to UIC Pavilion, Chicago.

34:00A great night of action.

34:02Friday, February 22nd, 8 o'clock.

34:04Eight exciting matches.

34:06Including a special challenge match.

34:08Flying Bryant in the air in Chicago against Terry Taylor.

34:12Six-man tag.

34:13Rick and Scott, the Steiner Brothers, team up with Z-Man.

34:16Against Big Ted Vicious, Barry Wyndham, and Standalarian Hanson.

34:20Beautiful Bobby Eaton takes on Arne Anderson.

34:23The World Tag Team titles are on the line at UIC Pavilion.

34:27With Lex Luger, the total package.

34:29And Sting, clash with Doom, managed by Teddy Long.

34:33And the main event will be the Championship of the World.

34:36Rick Flair in action against Ellie Ganze.

34:38Plus, Tim Horner, Ricky Morton, Wildfire Tommy Ridge, Larry Zabisco.

34:44The fabulous Freebirds at 4.

34:46Riding the 22nd at 8.

34:47Tickets at the box office.

34:49And all tickets on outlets, including Sears.

34:51World Championship Wrestling, UIC Pavilion, Chicago.

34:55This program brought to you in part by Western Union, the fastest way to send money.

35:14The match continues, and you see Arne Anderson, the enforcer, finds himself in a lot of trouble here, Larry.

35:23Well, Tommy and Rich, you know, working on that knee, very aggressive.

35:25And they have to be.

35:26Morton and Rich have to be.

35:28Like you said earlier on, and that's exactly what they're doing.

35:33Right to the leg, and the tag.

35:35Here comes Morton.

35:36Working that one body part, keeping the man down.

35:39Don't let Barry Windham in the ring.

35:41Use that quick teamwork.

35:42Arne Anderson's mission, of course, is to get the heck out of Dodge and tag Windham.

35:52Oh!

35:54Right to the legs.

35:56Surprised little move by Morton.

35:58To the face.

36:00From behind.

36:02Looks like Arne Anderson had achieved the goal I talked about.

36:05He had to get out of the ring and get Barry Windham in there.

36:09Wow, ejecting.

36:10Oh!

36:12Barry Windham.

36:17The larger of the two, and that's very obvious, but a power slam out, and he may think it's over.

36:22He kicked out.

36:24He kicked out on a very cocky Barry Windham who didn't hook a leg.

36:27He did.

36:28Barry's already had him there, Tony.

36:29Really did.

36:32And the chant of rock and roll from the fans.

36:35Listen to that.

36:37Trying to give some encouragement to Morton and Rich.

36:39Here's an old professional trick we just saw Barry Windham use.

36:42He went over, deliberately taught it to Tommy Rich, which at this stage of the game tends to irritate one.

36:49And, of course, it's exactly what he did, giving the referee, you know, out of the way.

36:55Good, good old professional trick.

36:57You know, you're half right.

37:00It's an old professional trick.

37:01I don't know if it's a good one or not.

37:03Depends on where you stand in the sport.

37:05And now on the outside, Anderson using the safety rail.

37:08Well, they're also using psychological warfare.

37:11Like I said, wrestling matches are a chess game.

37:13If you can build up an opponent's emotions after that 10-minute mark, get that blood flowing, that adrenaline pumping, and then throw him a curve.

37:21Work on that emotions.

37:22Get the man.

37:23Let him make a mistake.

37:24Elbow on top of the head.

37:37And over the top.

37:39Welcome, Barry.

37:41Did not do it.

37:42Did not hook him, and Morton is up.

37:43Boy, fans, with action like this, you know it's going to be an exciting night of wrestling, of World Championship Wrestling.

37:49The UIC Pavilion right here in Chicago, Friday, February 22nd, 8 o'clock.

37:54One of the reasons Larry Zbysko returns to action.

37:56We all look forward to that.

37:57Enough reason.

37:58With bated breath, as the old line used to go.

38:03The window's got real good leverage here in this abdominal stretch, and he's got it on in the right place.

38:07His corner.

38:10So he can cheat.

38:11So he can stretch the rules off.

38:12Let's take advantage of the rules.

38:14Pardon me.

38:15Take advantage of the rules.

38:17It's the American way.

38:19Apparently so.

38:21In your line of thinking.

38:25Oh, right to the midsection.

38:29And to the face.

38:32Morton will not stay down here as Wyndham continues his assault.

38:36Morton continues to fire back.

38:39For the ride.

38:40Leap frog.

38:41Telegraph that one.

38:43Yes, sir.

38:44Got the tag.

38:45And Morton not aware.

38:46I think he is.

38:47He just can't get out of it.

38:50The big legs of Barry Wyndham kind of draped over him there.

38:53And Morton was in trouble.

38:54And he's in more trouble now.

38:56The horsemen have been working together so long, Tony.

38:58They've just got the teamwork down to an absolute science.

39:01Absolute science.

39:01Going back.

39:02Oh.

39:04Going back.

39:05Here we go.

39:07Again.

39:07A staggering on Anderson.

39:10Wyndham again.

39:13Or make that Morton again to Anderson.

39:15And here's reversal.

39:16I thought Morton was getting it back.

39:23He got it.

39:25By the enforcer.

39:27But only on two cats.

39:29I don't believe that.

39:31Morton is out of it.

39:33I tell you, Morton should be called the Wolverine.

39:35Pound for pound.

39:36And the strongest, most vicious animal in the space of the earth.

39:38Fifteen minutes have a last two minutes.

39:39And I tell you, very impressive the punishment that this man can take.

39:44Fifteen minutes have gone by.

39:47Incredible.

39:48This match.

39:49Arntz got to make that tag.

39:50He looks like he's hurt, too.

39:52Anderson down.

39:53Barry Wyndham and a tag.

39:55He made the tag.

39:56Yes, sir.

39:56Hold it out.

39:58And it's Tommy Rich fighting both men.

40:01Tommy Rich sending Barry Wyndham in.

40:05Eye backdrop.

40:07Takes care of Anderson to try to get to the apron.

40:11Or to stand up.

40:12I think Tommy Rich got something in that elbow pad right there.

40:15I think he's got something in that elbow pad.

40:17Oh, no.

40:18Wyndham held on.

40:20And Barry Wyndham with a great sense of timing right there to stop his momentum and hook the ropes.

40:26Comes after years of experience.

40:28Barry Wyndham's got it.

40:31In their own corner.

40:35Wyndham and Anderson.

40:37Armed with that South Pole roundhouse.

40:41Using now his knee pad or his shin pad.

40:45You know, it's interesting.

40:45Fifteen minutes have gone by.

40:47And it seems like both teams are getting more and more down to the basics.

40:52But right there.

40:56Choke hold.

40:57Get rid of that wind that's left.

41:04And pull right down to the throat.

41:06Come on, Art.

41:11Now's the time to hook him.

41:19He is hooked the other way.

41:21Backslide.

41:22But a tag has been made.

41:23Too close to the corner.

41:25And Barry Wyndham cuts him off.

41:26Tommy Rich hit him with a good move right there.

41:28Those backslides.

41:29Small packages out of the blue.

41:31You can snatch a man like that.

41:32But not when you're in the same corner.

41:36Not at all.

41:37You're right, Larry.

41:38And now the horseman.

41:39What a battle this is.

41:41Wait a minute.

41:43Teddy Long.

41:43You see him.

41:44The godfather.

41:45DDT on the inside.

41:46But Teddy Long is in on Anderson's face, so to speak, on the outside.

41:50What is he doing here?

41:52I don't know what he's doing there.

41:54Barry Wyndham should be hooking the man after that DDT.

41:57The animosity, which is built up now.

42:00He grabs Teddy Long.

42:01Here's Ron Simmons.

42:03He turned Teddy Long around.

42:06And here comes Ron Simmons out of nowhere.

42:10And Ron Simmons and Arn Anderson on the outside.

42:13The match is still going on on the inside.

42:15What is going on on the inside?

42:17You know what I mean?

42:18Barry Wyndham.

42:19Now we have the horseman outside against Ron Simmons,

42:22who's taking care of business, at least attempting to.

42:25Oh, no.

42:27Right to the head with a bell.

42:30Now look at Randy Anderson counting the horsemen,

42:33who are on the outside.

42:37And there's a chair to the head of Ron Simmons.

42:39I think they've called for the bell.

42:41There it is.

42:42We need some sort of announcement here.

42:44Apparently, the horsemen are going to be counted out.

42:46The winners of the match via countout,

42:48Hall of Fire, Tommy Rich and Ricky Morton.

42:51There it is.

42:52And Teddy Long and Ron Simmons getting involved

42:54with Barry Wyndham and Arn Anderson.

42:56You think they'd throw the whole match out right here.

42:59You know, Teddy Long's showing up.

43:00I don't understand this whatsoever.

43:02Deliberately, do Arn Anderson off the track.

43:05Come on, Ron.

43:05What a wild match we've seen here on Channel 9.

43:10The horsemen and Doom are still an explosive situation.

43:14Wyndham and Anderson lose by a countout,

43:16but an incredible match.

43:18As you see an irate Barry Wyndham,

43:21and Arn Anderson.

43:22I'd be irate myself.

43:24Stand in the ring.

43:25Let's listen in.

43:25What a wild encounter.

43:29We'll talk about it in just a few moments.

43:30But next week, right here on the program,

43:32our first installment of Sullivan Saloon.

43:34El Gigante will be here as well,

43:36and we'll see in action the world champion, Ric Flair.

43:39Well, you know, talking about Ric Flair, Tony,

43:41kind of reminds me of last year I was up in Minneapolis.

43:43I told Herschel Walker, I said,

43:44hey, Herschel, look it.

43:46Real men don't run.

43:48And I think now that, you know,

43:48Flair regained it for the seventh time,

43:50I think maybe he should get the message

43:52and not run away from other individuals.

43:55Any names, possibly?

43:57We'll see.

43:58And fans, also, we want to address

44:00what we have just seen.

44:01Doom, Teddy Long coming in,

44:03getting the attention of Arn Anderson.

44:05Here comes Ron Simmons.

44:06What an explosive situation

44:07with Doom and the Horsemen.

44:09You know, obviously,

44:09there's been a lot of emotion

44:10carried over from Starrcade,

44:13you know, with Teddy Long,

44:14Ron Simmons, the Horsemen.

44:16And I think you're going to see

44:17some real emotions

44:18staring up from these men.

44:19Real emotions from real men.

44:21And we're going to leave you now, fans.

44:23Remind you to join us next week.

44:24We're going to leave you

44:25and take a look once again

44:26at what transpired just a minute ago

44:28with Teddy Long and Doom and the Horsemen.

44:30See you next week.

44:32From behind, Ron Simmons.

44:34What in the world is he doing here?

44:35I don't know.

44:36You know, Teddy Long distracted

44:37Arn Anderson on purpose.

44:38And out came Ron Simmons,

44:40out of the blue,

44:40hitting the Enforcer,

44:42and down goes the Enforcer again.

44:43What it is, not fair.

44:45Oh, well, what an explosive situation

44:46between Doom and the Horsemen.

44:48Touch to the very window

44:49coming now.

44:49Ron Simmons is down.

44:51This is incredible.

44:52Look at this.

44:53Look at this.
