00:01:57oh look at this last week scott norton really took care of rick steiner and it quite obviously
00:02:09steiner was out of it at this point out on his feet scott norton definitely without question the
00:02:16better athlete wouldn't you say guys without a doubt rick steiner is definitely two inches shorter
00:02:22this week than he was last week norton getting better every week steiner didn't have much of a
00:02:26neck to begin with and he's got a lot less of one now but this should be a great matchup
00:02:30the fake tag team champion of the world that being one half of the fake tag team champions of the
00:02:36world rick steiner brought to the ring by a former nwo compatriot now just a piece of human garbage
00:02:43ted debiase i think everybody knows that's about it myself for the actual linear tag team champion
00:02:48you're gonna have to explain that linear thing to me i i don't got it yet i don't think anybody had
00:02:56it the other day when holmes was a linear champion so you know this rick steiner is a powerful man
00:03:01but i know scotty norton since seventh grade and pound for pound this is one of the strongest men
00:03:07in the world right now he's what you call sucker and steiner and and he can also be one of the
00:03:14the most anguist men in the world when you start throwing shots like that at him i mean we've seen
00:03:19him remember remember grandma bees down in the river minneapolis you know it what i used to work
00:03:22the door down there we used to go down there on weekends just to watch him throw guys through the
00:03:26door without opening it it was fun it was a fun place to be steiner's getting a little taste of
00:03:32what grandma bees was like rick steiner coming off the ropes and a nice shoulder it's kind of nice so
00:03:37rick was uh i didn't make him pay cover charge to get in tonight that was kind of that's kind of nice for him
00:03:43later on as i promised not only does hollywood get a pair of the hottest motorcycles on wheels
00:03:53not only does he get a limo complete with a hot tub and his own nitro girls nwo nitro girls
00:04:02the nwo is going to take care of lex luger that's still to come because lex luger after
00:04:09all has been a real pain in the neck i mean he got lucky last summer he got a little lucky
00:04:15that's what steiner doing here is he looking for a fire hydrant he's looking for something i got a
00:04:21problem with luger just because he seems to be the giants buddy well he is definitely the giants
00:04:26buddy and he's a close friend of sting's and for all the right reasons he's going to get his
00:04:30just due tonight let's not get on that sting subject let's talk about sting rick root i know
00:04:36you've got a lot to say about let's talk about how sting ended my career let's talk about how sting
00:04:41broke my neck in japan and let's talk about hulk hogan giving me a belated christmas present
00:04:48by breaking sting's neck well oh ravishing one i know that hollywood is a giving human being
00:04:56he's got a heart as big as a mountain and if that's what you want for christmas i'm sure hollywood
00:05:02will be more than happy to oblige what do you want for christmas man uh i'm going shopping tomorrow
00:05:08you tell me what you want what do i want i want a big bag of money i want so much i can't drag it around
00:05:13well you know me i got all kinds of it it's not mine but who cares
00:05:23oh look at scotty norton with a nice vertical suplex and now rick steiner certainly feeling that
00:05:29little twinge of crushed cervical tissue and the look of confidence in scotty norton
00:05:37norton picking it up rip into the ropes and a rip into the chest nice move by rick steiner it was a
00:05:46great move but it's going to take a lot more than that to put scotty norton down and out
00:05:53steiner now going for the cover but forget about it
00:05:56scotty norton taking a big shot right between the eyes get set up down the top turnbuckle rick steiner
00:06:04following up there looks like he's going for a belly to oh man that is a load to try to maneuver
00:06:12off that top turnbuckle and now rick steiner making his way up to the top rope it's a stupid move and what's that
00:06:19and the referee and the nwo has turned this into a tag match yeah that's right that's what it is
00:06:27yeah oh look at this oh wait a minute by this steiner the other standard clearly interfering in the
00:06:34match who's this referee who is this referee get some control in there these steiners are out of hand

00:08:35a good head for this business the giant on the other hand his brain rolls around inside that big
00:08:40head like a bb in a box car besides that you're from detroit there's no way a guy in detroit's gonna

00:10:18to be a thing of beauty and brickford you've grown up with this guy that's right here you know robinsdale

00:11:24of professionalism in the ring out of the ring anywhere he goes
00:11:34this guy can do it all look at those arms nice tricep shot
00:11:39he's not very boy look at conan he's not drinking the the bubble bath is he you know that can make
00:11:47you sick
00:11:51conan's won the best seat in the house look at the physique got kurt heading adonis life
00:12:00the man comes from a tremendous lineage of professional wrestling talent
00:12:05larry the ax hennig in minneapolis a man who really dominated this sport for so many years in the 60s and 70s
00:12:18and now kurt harris kurt heading carrying on the tradition
00:12:21you know i really feel like i missed something not growing up in minnesota you did really really cold
00:12:26winters you had to fight to stay warm you either got the fight or you froze with that
00:12:35what's he got on the back of his tights there but shake your booty shake your booty it's going to get
00:12:45shook tonight along with your spinal column
00:12:50look at this guy this guy actually believes in his own mind he's got a shot here tonight
00:12:55and he may be the only one in the building that believes that
00:13:04this guy is going he wants to be a dual title holder
00:13:09kurt is toying with this boy
00:13:15careful now you don't want to get me sued
00:13:16current heading now
00:13:25feeling his opponent out drops shoulder into his chest goes in behind comes up with a nice drop kick
00:13:34perfectly parallel with the ring delivered a nice drop kick right to the chest and follows it up that
00:13:39one got disco on the shoulder sends him out into the uh nwo paperwork there you know those are open
00:13:45contracts that we have for wrestling down around the world disco might not be as stupid as he seems
00:13:51it looks like he's leaving it's a long crawl back to the dressing room i think
00:13:56oh ouch i think kurt's having a flashback to an elk river bar scene
00:14:01chop to the top of the chest is kurt hennig the united states heavyweight champion now trying to
00:14:08keep the action confined inside of the wrestling ring where it's legal where he can control the pace
00:14:13of this match and where we can see one of the finest wrestlers this world has ever known the u.s
00:14:18heavyweight champion that's one thing you can say about most of the nwo uh athletes is they're such
00:14:23incredibly fair sportsmen great competitors played by the rules well they are without a doubt
00:14:31the top of the line when it comes to athletes in this sport which is probably the reason in and of
00:14:35itself that the nwo has been so dominant for the past really going on two years now the nwo the
00:14:40organization that has changed the world as we know it and the organization that is going to take over
00:14:46this broadcast this is your holiday treat from the nwo a preview if you will of what this show is going
00:14:53to look like beginning necember 29th when larry zabisco becomes famous for being the man who lost
00:15:04nitro how's your training going well i had six pizzas last night
00:15:10you know i forget if it was good enough for zabisco it must be good enough for me i've seen him train
00:15:14over the last several years you know when he was in the awa and when he was here in wcw i mean he
00:15:20never did anything without killing you know three four dominoes pizzas it must work you've been able
00:15:25to get a lot of time in the recliner well i especially this weekend the football games are
00:15:29really good so i put in probably six or seven hours that's that's well you know and that's probably not
00:15:34quite what larry's getting in but that's that's in there well i'm going for the endurance i was
00:15:37training for endurance this weekend so i wanted to extend it out over a long period of time as opposed to
00:15:42trying to get in a sprint you know try to catch like three or four different channels all at the same time
00:15:46for an hour i just kind of stuck with the same football game for the entire afternoon it was
00:15:51pretty good you know this kurt hemming is so precise he never wastes a move everything he does has
00:15:58meaning to it look at that what did that mean that means i'm tired of wrestling you i think i'm just
00:16:04going to knock you out that's exactly what that meant you know we were saying earlier eric about this
00:16:08is a trailer of what's going to happen the 29th and i mean just the graphics alone i saw the graphic
00:16:14package that the nwo people put up unbelievable it is without without a doubt i mean the nwo has the
00:16:22ability has the vision if you will and the technical expertise to put together a show that will really
00:16:29raise the bar when it comes to production values that's what we're good at and that's what we're
00:16:34going to do this show will be better on the 29th than it's ever been and that's saying a lot and it
00:16:40certainly is this is the show this when you're the number one show in professional wrestling and
00:16:44you're going to go ahead and raise the bar as you said earlier it's unbelievable number one show on
00:16:48cable i mean just think about it december 28th star king the battle to find out who the real giant
00:16:55really is we've already had your your prediction kevin and i quite frankly there's only one giant
00:17:02and he's sitting here with us well thanks guys ddp and kurt not a chance ddp is going down
00:17:11kurt henning it's basically in my book is unbeatable and i'll tell you what i was making jokes about the
00:17:17pizzas and training i've been working out a little bit larry zabisco on the other hand he's a fat pig now
00:17:24he's been a fat pig his entire life he's never really been tested and you know what
00:17:29he underestimated me and he's going to pay the price there is not enough time between now and
00:17:34december 28th for him to get ready to what's going to happen to him there's no way you've got to ask
00:17:39yourself who's a bigger fool is it larry zabisco for actually taking the matches for jj for putting
00:17:43up nitro that's a contest that i couldn't call i mean there's no how'd you like to referee that one
00:17:48how'd you like to referee a stupidity contest between jj dylan and larry zabisco
00:17:55you know zabisco not only underestimates you eric but he overestimates his golf game he talks about
00:18:02putting for birdies but he always makes triple bogeys yeah he's gonna scratch on the 28th but then the big
00:18:09one the match that is going to determine the heavyweight championship of the world hollywood
00:18:18hogan against the muppet man himself sting has hollywood ever looked any better never never
00:18:27disco got lucky there going after kurt heading now disco looks like he really has got a head of steam
00:18:32going but kurt heading quickly reverses the balls it's all over he's got one two three took a little
00:18:38longer than i thought but i'll tell you what just gonna put up a heck of a fight but when you're in
00:18:42there with a man like the united states heavyweight champion kurt heading you're in with a real crowd
00:18:51let's take another look at this rick you call this one man i know you like watching this kind of stuff in
00:18:58slow motion like i said earlier i've known this man since eighth grade and every time i watch him
00:19:08perform i'm more amazed look at this perfect move oh not a chance for disco what a bridge sinks it in deep
00:19:19too look at that hand hook unbelievable the amount of strength that takes is just
00:19:27it's mystifying to me not to mention the unbelievable technique

00:23:17harlem heat tremendous tag team combination i mean let's not take anything anything away from
00:23:22these two guys without a doubt when you talk about a tag team combination two guys that can work
00:23:28together to have a sense for each other's timing strong athletic a great repertoire when it comes to
00:23:35wrestling moves harlem heat has got to be one of the top tag teams in the world today these two guys on the
00:23:41guys on the other hand i'm not so sure about this i think these guys are going to get eaten alive
00:23:49and if they do i hope the heat gives them a haircut because i can't stand looking especially the blonde
00:23:56guy that billy idol look-alike thing well i couldn't have said it better you know i totally agree
00:24:03with you about the harlem heat eric these guys i watched them when they began and from then
00:24:08till now they've made leaps and bounds they are one of the greatest tag teams in the world
00:24:13one of them but not the greatest now of course holla nash have that category all locked up definitely
00:24:19the tag team champions of the world and kevin nash being the consummate professional that he is
00:24:24is going to step outside of the bounds the parameters if you will of the tag team division to step into the
00:24:30the ring and prove to the world once and for all who the real giant really is
00:24:40oh you said a mouthful
00:24:44harlem heat getting the crowd definitely in their corner and like any other athletic contest the crowd
00:24:52plays so much of a factor and of course this crowd without a question one of the greatest nwo
00:24:59crowds i've seen in a long time i mean they really really really love us
00:25:09and rightly they should you know what what's mike today doing i see get mike today in here you want to
00:25:14work with today you want to give that a shot rick let's let's test him out let's do it he's under
00:25:18contract i hired that skinny little puke let's see what he's got bring him in here get a security guard

00:25:35do i got empires to build you need help mr bischoff no i'm fine thank you take a seat mikey make yourself at home
00:25:45i want to let you know right off the bat as long as you call it like i see it we won't have any problem
00:25:55yeah i certainly i certainly don't want any problems with you tag team action on nitro harlem
00:26:03heat booker t and stevie ray facing two members of raven's flock and scotty riggs and lody
00:26:14booker t and scotty riggs and booker t continues to work over the arm hammerlock now
00:26:20scotty riggs connects with the back elbow you know i haven't had much of a chance to watch this
00:26:25rigs but i know that booker t can get it on when it comes to being in the middle of the squared circle
00:26:31we have certainly seen booker t turn it on in the last month or so both in singles
00:26:35as well as in tag team competition big hip toss takeover has scotty riggs reeling
00:26:42you know this team of riggs and uh lody they haven't been together as long as harlem heat
00:26:47sounds like harlem heat will have the severe advantage here mr rude
00:26:54of course so much at stake this sunday starrcade december the 28th especially as it concerns
00:27:01the future of nitro obviously we see that the nwo has taken over nitro this evening
00:27:06but what happens the nwo is taking over professional wrestling
00:27:12all over the world eric bischoff is gonna beat larry zabisco to a bloody pulp
00:27:21and of course if that is the case then this becomes a permanent change in the new world order
00:27:26owns monday nitro the number one wrestling program in the world today big boot up from booker t
00:27:31catches scottie riggs tremendous spin kick as he exploded out of the corner great move
00:27:39same kind of moves you'll see courtesy of the nwo he's got to go for the cover to win the match
00:27:47tag is into big heat stevie ray over the top and double team tactics on scotty riggs
00:27:54just total domination on the part of harlem heat to this point against ravens duo
00:28:00looks like stevie ray has dropped a little bit of weight and gained a lot of quickness
00:28:05well that time scotty riggs able to get out of the way of that elbow drop and the tag is into lody
00:28:12now what's this lody all about well he is the newest member of ravens flock and he's on the receiving end
00:28:19of a vicious a lethal lariat from stevie ray
00:28:25gentlemen the future of professional wrestling it all comes down to starrcade whether it's wrestling
00:28:32in 1997 or the years beyond everything happens this sunday at starrcade whether it's the nitro
00:28:38matchup with bischoff and zabisco and of course the big main event that we've been anticipating
00:28:43with sting and hogan and that's what i've been focused on for the past three years the man
00:28:49called sting he broke my neck of japan and he deserves a payback hollywood hulk hogan will give
00:28:56me my christmas present he will take sting out of professional wrestling forever sting you will know
00:29:04what it's like to have to sit on the sidelines and watch devastating axe kick delivered to the back of
00:29:12the head of lody by booker t i'll tell you something today very impressed i was tonight watching the nwo come
00:29:20out here and dismantle everything that proved to me right there that sting sting is in the biggest trouble
00:29:26of his life hogan bishop the nwo everybody is geared for this one and the way i see it and the way i just
00:29:33things just appear in my mind and i'm not usually wrong that sting is going to take a long long
00:29:40retirement probably forever double team tactics and it's a double vertical suplex after holding
00:29:46lody high into the air the blood rushing to his head and what happened to his tag team partner scotty riggs
00:29:54scotty riggs just allowing the harlem heat to dominate this matchup with the double team tactics and
00:30:02obviously no help at all from riggs looking on from the ring apron a strange lot of people aren't they
00:30:10have you noticed that ever since raven disappeared a couple of weeks ago that that entire flock is just
00:30:15totally unfocused the mama bird has left the nest jack nicholson has left the cuckoo's nest
00:30:25referee nick patrick steps in and stops stevie ray and he just dumps lody out to the floor
00:30:33what did you think about the little scene that the nwo put on tonight tonight i thought it was
00:30:39tremendous what did you think today i have never seen anything like it they totally dismantled
00:30:45nitro in just a matter of minutes totally taking it over from a world championship wrestling program
00:30:52to now total control on the part of the new world order so this means that you enjoyed the scene
00:30:58i was impressed by it i'll go that far enjoyed the scene correct enjoyed the scene yes i did
00:31:05i've never seen anyone don't start on me mike
00:31:17of course also at starcade this sunday it's raven scheduled to face the canadian crippler chris ben
00:31:23wall but questions remain about raven and the whole flock
00:31:30yeah we haven't seen raven now in going on three weeks this is the third straight
00:31:33we haven't seen him and with an assist from stevie look at this scotty riggs has now walked out on his
00:31:39partner he leaves he leaves lody to take the double team tactics of the harlem heat without a fight
00:31:46that's unlike raven and his crew that's for sure no raven no nest i told you it didn't make no difference
00:31:55i'm knocking somebody impression showing by the heat excuse me i'm talking it's obvious to me
00:32:02that without raven they don't have anything to focus on they need that man they need that man to guide
00:32:08him
00:32:09mr root can i do the replay bobby go ahead take a look at the replay here we go
00:32:14harlem heat drops that big big leg on the back of lody
00:32:19whoo he knows he's got him shoots him in look at this kick right flat in the face he's not going anywhere
00:32:27get a load of this right off the top of the forehead right between the eyes you're going to count it to 100
00:32:35your winner here on nwo nitro harlem heat try to like the sound of that nwo nitro your winner harlem
00:32:43heat great action yet to come up next on nitro it's chris jericho against the nwo's buff bagwell
00:32:57and we are back on nwo monday nitro
00:33:01has a ring to it can you believe that nwo monday nitro has a ring to it i like it could it be any
00:33:10other way i guess not not after the hostile takeover earlier this evening as the new world border just
00:33:17totally destroyed the nitro set and banners in place with now the nwo we see the presents for
00:33:24hollywood hulk hogan conan and crew the limo that was brought out for hogan part of the big christmas
00:33:30presence the big party that the new world order has presented to hollywood company hey if you
00:33:35thought that was a hostile takeover you just wait for this start well starcade is really going to be
00:33:43the event that sets the pace for the future of professional wrestling where does professional
00:33:48wrestling go in 1998 and beyond we'll find out this sunday with starcade live on pay-per-view
00:33:55go ahead i've already told you the future of professional wrestling is the nwo are you
00:34:01disagreeing with me no sir not in the least well you saw what happened tonight for just a few short
00:34:07minutes they took over the whole set the whole building here the whole nitro program it's now nwo
00:34:13nitro what do you think sting's gonna do what do you think sting's gonna do he's not gonna do nothing
00:34:18this was a shot in the arm the nwo needed let's take over here propel them another couple hundred
00:34:26feet ahead of sting sting's in serious trouble now and i know it but we also saw world championship
00:34:31wrestling last monday with a united front it was interesting to see wcw bond together we don't
00:34:39want to talk about wcw this is nwo nitro check it out well rick there's so much at stake rick rood
00:34:52this sunday at starcade all i know is larry zabisco has been an intensive training against eric
00:34:59bischoff for this big matchup coming up on sunday but i'll tell you what the trouble with
00:35:03nabisco is i think he's gonna rely on wrestling he thinks bischoff's gonna get in there and wrestle
00:35:09him he's planning to wrestle a wrestler that's what's gonna backfire on him well how about this
00:35:15bagwell look at the body on this man if anybody knows bodies it's ravishing rick rood well of course
00:35:22bagwell has been on quite a role at least in his mind with victories over lex luger although if you
00:35:29take a close look at those wins they weren't exactly clean pinball or submission wins on the part of buff
00:35:36bagwell you know yes bagwell defeated luger by a count out yes he beat him by disqualification
00:35:42and both times followed up with a celebration like he won the world's heavyweight championship belt
00:35:48however this sunday at starcade the opportunity presents itself in the total package lex luger
00:35:54to avenge those previous with that and i put parentheses around this word defeats when he gets
00:35:59a return match let me tell you something today a win is a win no matter how it comes
00:36:05and the buffmeister is the new total package you know something michael a little bit of advice here
00:36:14your banker never asks you how you won they just ask you if you won well obviously i have a contract
00:36:20to announce nitro and that's why i'm here i just don't want any problems with you mr root
00:36:26well as long as you call it as i see it you won't have any problems lionheart chris jericho explodes in
00:36:34the early going against bagwell back body drop then opens up with an open hand and then springboards up
00:36:40and off the top catches him with a drop kick and bagwell down to the floor it's incredible move
00:36:44but this bagwell is one durable dude this jericho has certainly proven himself in wcw in 1997 a world's
00:36:53cruiserweight title reign now stepping it up in class against buff bagwell
00:37:00you know and buff is beginning to become a household world word people are saying buff to this buff this
00:37:06buff that it's a household word now the bagwell cuts off jericho as he tries to come into the ring
00:37:11the double axe handle delivered to the back of the head
00:37:16is eric going to be i mean mr bishop going to be back out here mr root well that depends if he feels
00:37:21like he wants to come out or not well it's just a pleasure to sit out here and listen to his
00:37:24commentary i was just wondering i think you asked maybe too many questions i'm sorry happened again
00:37:29lionheart with the backsplash now let's see if jericho can follow up the advantage almost toying
00:37:37now with bagwell that's surprising to see is that is that the way you see it today well he is certainly
00:37:42to i see buff bagwell playing possum well that's apparently the case is bagwell clips him shoulder
00:37:49block from the ring apron by jericho oh what a right hand and that's it jericho all the way to the steel
00:37:55guardrail looked like he went throat first across the steel now who's toying with who the tables have
00:38:01turned total men i'm totally on the side of the nwo and buff bagwell we need to go to a commercial
00:38:07break when we return more exciting action in this matchup involving the lionheart chris jericho
00:38:14and the nwo's buff bagwell we're coming right back to nwo nitro say it
00:38:20and we are back on nwo monday nitro domination at this point by buff bagwell neutralizing chris jericho
00:38:31has returned to the action and gentlemen the countdown is on this sunday at starrcade and
00:38:40rick rouge you talked earlier about the matchup involving sting and hollywood hulk hogan
00:38:44the fact that sting broke your neck almost seems like it's a personal vendetta
00:38:48on your part towards sting as a part of the nwo almost seems like it's a personal vendetta
00:38:54this man took me out of my profession i was the world heavyweight champion and this man put me home
00:39:01in a reclining chair i had to sit there my poor wife had to stare at my face 365 days a year
00:39:10well you have to realize that as we go into starrcade sting has to have some kind of a battle plan in
00:39:17store for not only hogan but also the entire nwo he's been on the sidelines for an awful long time
00:39:22and you know that when he comes back in this matchup against hogan he has so much to prove oh without a
00:39:27doubt sting has a battle plan he never goes into a match without a plan and usually his plans are very
00:39:34good but this time isn't going to be like the other times stings going down and he's going down for good
00:39:42well this may be a preview of the future because also at starrcade nitro is at stake and how about
00:39:50the x factor in that matchup involving larry zabisco and eric bischoff and i refer to the referee the
00:39:56special referee for that matchup a man that you know very well rick root as well as you bobby
00:40:00he and i speak of bret hart well you heard eric bischoff out here a couple weeks ago he said that
00:40:09bret hart is a member of the nwo and then just recently bret hart says don't count on me to help
00:40:15you win this match uh i'm not sure what's going on but i'm sure mr bischoff will come up with something
00:40:21and if bret is smart he will do the right thing
00:40:28bagwell again in control reverse chin lock on jericho the nwo so cocky in their attitude it's
00:40:37what we've expected from them the arrogance that they bring to professional wrestling and
00:40:42it's just manifested itself in the fact that they've taken over nitro one week early did you
00:40:48say cocky confident probably a little bit of both at this point no confidence is the word the nwo is
00:40:57confident because it is a group of the greatest athletes in the world today well no one can
00:41:03question the strength in numbers of the new world order since their arrival on the scene the fact that
00:41:09they have taken over professional wrestling and now they've even taken over believe it or not
00:41:15nitro the number one program in pro wrestling and bagwell's taking over jericho jericho mounts
00:41:23a comeback slides through nice drop kick delivered by the lion heart and the second one that has bagwell
00:41:29reeling what's he doing now killing time but he's smart enough to go to the ropes you can't give a man
00:41:39like buck bagwell a second to recoup because this man is in shape he can take the punishment and he
00:41:46will come back to burn you lateral press the cover the legs hooked and gets just a two count does jericho
00:41:51before bagwell is able to break up the hold well you notice he just didn't slide out he kicked out he
00:41:57still has a lot left in him i'm talking about buff bagwell takes the shortcut that time first he pokes
00:42:04jericho in the eyes then catches him with the right hand right on the bridge of the nose
00:42:09and now takes jericho and drapes him throat first across that top cable bagwell will be facing the
00:42:15total package lex luger this sunday at starrcade i told you today bagwell is the new total package lex
00:42:23luger is only lex luger well we'll find out at starrcade exactly who keeps the title of the total package the
00:42:32original lex luger the new guy on the block like bagwell mike i think just a little something for
00:42:40you to help you out here in life a little advice when you're sitting on the nwo set at nwo nitro
00:42:48you never say that he might have a chance i mean use your head bagwell's going to win this one he's
00:42:54the total package that's what they say that's what he is smarten up mike jericho out attempted what
00:43:02looked like to be an elbow drop by bagwell off the middle rope jericho able to roll away at the last
00:43:08second again the elbow drop does not connect jericho fights back boot to the chest now the reversal
00:43:16bagwell sends him in oh my great move by jericho better move by bagwell he's still on his feet running
00:43:23lariat now the momentum is on the side of the lionheart chris jericho excuse me i told you
00:43:30bagwell plays possum and he plays it very well jericho the double underhook oh my takes him over oh my
00:43:39goodness got him in the backbreaker gets two gets only two at the last split second bagwell able to
00:43:45escape boy that shows you how tough this marcus this buff bagwell is
00:43:54jericho follows up in the corner bagwell looks like he's out on his feet we got the we got this uh
00:44:00wcw official in there and it seems to be like he's going for a quick pre-count trying to get bagwell the
00:44:07shaft bagwell fights back from the top rope jericho mounts the top rope in the corner backflip off the
00:44:14top that is why marcus bagwell is the total package out of nowhere you talk about playing possum mr rude
00:44:25that's exactly what he did when jericho thought he had him he didn't have him that certainly was the
00:44:32strategy employed by bagwell and this is it that continuation of what we've seen for the past
00:44:37several months the abuse of the official that's not abuse today that official had that coming
00:44:44he was quick counting bagwell he was slow counting jericho referee mickey j laid out with that big
00:44:53lariat from bagwell bobby let's take a look at the slow-mo replay my pleasure my pleasure what a move
00:45:00that was too by buff bagwell you know like mr rude said he thought he had him but he didn't he was
00:45:06playing possum he's that good at it jericho thought two drop kicks he had the man he knew what he was
00:45:12going to do look at this check it out coming off the top hooks yes takes him over the buffmeister is
00:45:20the total package your winner here on nwo monday nitro the buffster buff bagwell on his way to
00:45:27starcade in a matchup with lex luger buck bagwell gets the win and next up on nwo nitro bischoff and hogan
00:45:48well it has to be classified as certainly one of the strangest and most memorable nitros in history
00:45:55if you're tuning in late i'm mike today joined by bobby the brain heenan and rick rude for the
00:46:03initial broadcast of nwo monday nitro and what you call strange i call entertaining well we certainly

00:46:20and as promised here come the new world order here comes the man and mass eric kusha
00:46:26freezing the way world's heavyweight champion hollywood hulk hogan united states heavyweight

00:46:55head to the ring well that's quite an entourage as you can see it there's old saint eric leading the pack
00:47:03of course earlier in this broadcast the new world order and eric bischoff in particular

00:52:46Merry Christmas, Hollywood Hogan, the heavyweight champion of the world.
00:53:10Give it up for him now.
00:53:11Well, the gifts just keep on coming.
00:53:16It's been an NWO tribute to Hollywood Hulk Hogan, an early Christmas party.
00:53:24Well, what they're doing, Mike, is they're showing their appreciation for the man they love, Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
00:53:30And they're also letting him know they're behind him.
00:53:35That world's title ring around the finger of Hogan, and he certainly seems proud.
00:53:41NWO continues their celebration on the first ever NWO Monday Nitro.
00:53:49There you see the motorcycle, the Harley Davidson, that was presented to Hogan earlier this evening.
00:53:54Followed, of course, by the limo, complete with hot tub and NWO Nitro girls.
00:54:01What more do you need?
00:54:03Another capacity crowd on hand in Macon, Georgia.
00:54:23For the first ever edition of NWO Monday Nitro.
00:54:28And, of course, we're expecting another turn-away crowd this Sunday for Starrcade at the beautiful new MCI Center in Washington, D.C.
00:54:38Where is that limo going?
00:54:40It looks like it's backing up out of the arena.
00:54:43What's the purpose of that?
00:54:44Hey, that's none of your business.
00:54:46Don't worry about what's happening, where the limo's going, or what's going to happen inside the limo.
00:54:54Just a wait-and-see situation for everyone associated with Nitro tonight.
00:54:58Almost from the outset, the takeover by the NWO of Nitro.
00:55:02I guess a lot of people, NWO lights, expected this to take place next Monday from Baltimore, Maryland.
00:55:10But, in actuality, the new World Order has taken Nitro over one week in advance.
00:55:17And now this is the madness that is the Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:55:21And you've got to love him.
00:55:23Well, there's a man who's...
00:55:24Yes, sir, you have to love him.
00:55:27And there's a man who's done it all, too, in this sport.
00:55:29And it looks like the Macho Man is making his way...
00:55:35Beautiful!
00:55:36I'm dedicating this match.
00:55:39Beating up Mike Slover.
00:55:44He was thanks, man.
00:55:46He's a giant gentleman.
00:55:47Take him, get him out of here.
00:55:48Tell him about him.
00:55:49Thank you, man.
00:55:50Good luck.
00:55:51Good luck.
00:55:53He understands.
00:55:54I understand.
00:55:55He understands.
00:55:56Who's going to go over?
00:55:57Who's going to beat who?
00:55:58Who's going down?
00:56:01He's not going down.
00:56:02He's going to win the match.
00:56:03That's what I meant.
00:56:05There's only one Macho Man.
00:56:07That's right.
00:56:08Well, in Randy Savage's words, the tribute to Hollywood Hulk Hogan continues on NWO Nitro.
00:56:15The main event is next.
00:56:18Right after this commercial break, when we return, Randy Savage will face the original total package.
00:56:24No, he will face...
00:56:26The Hulk Hogan.
00:56:27Right.
00:56:28Shut up, Mike.
00:56:29It's main event time on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:56:35What did you say?
00:56:36Hey, hey, hey.
00:56:36What did you say today?
00:56:38I told you this is NWO Nitro.
00:56:41That's the way it is, and that's the way it will be forever.
00:56:46Do you understand me?
00:56:47It's just an honest mistake.
00:56:49Well, then write down on your paper NWO so you know you don't make that mistake again.
00:56:52The program's been on the air for two years.
00:56:55Don't make a mistake again.
00:56:56It's a natural reaction.
00:56:57Maybe I make a mistake and knock your head off your shoulders.
00:57:01Not what we want to have happen.
00:57:03The total package.
00:57:04Lex Luger to face the Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:57:09What did you just call Lex Luger?
00:57:11The original total package.
00:57:13Lex Luger.
00:57:13I don't want to hear those words come out of your mouth again.
00:57:17Buff Bagwell is the total package.
00:57:20Well, Buff Bagwell will have an opportunity to prove that against Lex Luger this Sunday at Starrcade.
00:57:27Almost a look of trepidation on the face of Lex Luger.
00:57:32He knows that Savage has dedicated this match to Hollywood Hulk Hogan,
00:57:37and who knows what the NWO has in store for Lex Luger,
00:57:42who will face Bagwell, another NWO member at Starrcade.
00:57:46This match has been dedicated to Hulk Hogan.
00:57:49This entire evening has been dedicated to Hulk Hogan,
00:57:52because Hulk Hogan single-handedly has made professional wrestling what it is today.
00:57:59Instinct should feel honored to even get the chance to step in the ring with the man.
00:58:04Well, the NWO has certainly pulled out all the stops this evening on the first ever NWO Monday Nitro,
00:58:13but Lex Luger, thinking of pulling out all the stops,
00:58:19corner to corner, big running Larry, it takes Savage off of his feet.
00:58:24Well, like you said, Tanae, the first NWO Nitro,
00:58:27but I'm going to tell you it won't be the last.
00:58:29Getting rid of Lex Luger is just an impressive throw up over the night.
00:58:38Lex Luger needs to go down the way Sting needs to go down.
00:58:43The NWO will not put up with this.
00:58:46Well, we're so familiar with the association that Lex Luger has had through the years with Sting,
00:58:52so I'm sure that the New World Order is trying to send a message of some kind to Sting
00:58:56as we get this close to Starrcade.
00:58:58And we know that Hollywood Hogan and Randy Savage go back a long way also, don't we?
00:59:05Yes, we certainly do, and we also know that Lex Luger defeated Hollywood Hulk Hogan
00:59:11to win the World's Heavyweight Championship earlier this year, Rick Rude.
00:59:15Anyone can slip on a banana peel today.
00:59:18Anybody can have a bad night.
00:59:20But Hollywood Hulk Hogan is the future of professional wrestling.
00:59:25I just wonder about the future of the NWO after this Sunday at Starrcade
00:59:32when Sting gets a shot at the World's Heavyweight Championship belt.
00:59:36We saw problems with the NWO when Cougar had his previous title reign
00:59:41almost finger-pointing on the part of the New World Order.
00:59:44Hogan won that World's Heavyweight Championship back at Road Wild.
00:59:48And again, everything was fine in the NWO camp.
00:59:51And everything's still looking fine in the squared circle.
00:59:56Randy Savage putting it to Lex Luger.
01:00:00Well, Lifts Luger high into the air, drops him throat first across that top steel cable.
01:00:04And now Savage putting all of his weight across the throat of Luger
01:00:07as well as using the top rope for extra leverage.
01:00:10Referee Randy Anderson breaks him up.
01:00:11You see, Mike, you can't talk about the past.
01:00:14You can't talk about what Lex Luger accomplished years ago, six months ago, an hour ago.
01:00:19The NWO is now.
01:00:20It's something that's happening now.
01:00:21So you've got to be current.
01:00:23You've got to talk about what's happening now, today, this moment.
01:00:26Don't live in the past.
01:00:27You'll be eaten up by the rest of those losers at WCW.
01:00:30And even if he does want to talk about the past, he has to talk about Hollywood Hulk Hogan
01:00:35because Hollywood Hulk Hogan is professional wrestling.
01:00:40The past, the present, and according to the NWO, the future of professional wrestling
01:00:44in Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
01:00:49Bobby, I'm just a little surprised, I have to admit.
01:00:52I've been taking off my game tonight because of what's going on here,
01:00:56but I really am surprised at the way that you so quickly jumped over to the NWO side.
01:01:02That's my business.
01:01:03It doesn't concern you.
01:01:06I realize that.
01:01:07It's just the situation after that.
01:01:09When everything has gone into making Nitro the number one program.
01:01:12You're giving Eden a hard time.
01:01:14Not at all.
01:01:14Okay.
01:01:15You look out for yourself.
01:01:16I'll look out for myself.
01:01:18Savage takes Luger by the hair.
01:01:20And face first into the steel steps.
01:01:23This is what the madness is all about.
01:01:26This is his home field advantage out on the floor.
01:01:31Luger tries to fight back.
01:01:32Oh, Luger.
01:01:32Oh.
01:01:33Savage up and over the steel and out into the front row.
01:01:36He's going after him.
01:01:39Double axe handle delivered to the back of Savage.
01:01:41The referee should be ringing the bell right now.
01:01:45Luger should be disqualified.
01:01:46Well, Randy Anderson is trying to get this back in the ring.
01:01:49Take charge, Randy Anderson.
01:01:51And it looks like that's Luger's plan as well.
01:01:55Without a doubt, Luger is one of the most physical men in our sport.
01:01:59But he's going to have to be just to hang with the macho man.
01:02:03And, of course, Luger has the torture rack.
01:02:06Big running lariat.
01:02:07Another clothesline delivered by Luger.
01:02:10A third.
01:02:10But you're not going to be.
01:02:14Fans are motioning.
01:02:16He's got one.
01:02:18Motioning to the crowd that here comes the bionic elbow.
01:02:21And instead he nailed referee Randy Anderson.
01:02:23He needs to be disqualified.
01:02:25What was an accident?
01:02:26What are you talking about, accident?
01:02:28Macho Man had this match.
01:02:31One.
01:02:32Luger took the referee out on purpose.
01:02:34I can't believe it.
01:02:35Oh, Nelly.
01:02:36Luger, big gorilla press slam.
01:02:39Yeah, I think Luger figured he couldn't beat Savage.
01:02:42So he just shot that clothesline high to hit Randy Anderson.
01:02:46He wanted to deliver.
01:02:47He gets disqualified.
01:02:48So he couldn't be embarrassed.
01:02:49Well, Savage is so smart.
01:02:50He avoids the torture rack by going down to the floor.
01:02:53Hides behind Elizabeth.
01:02:54And now the attack from behind by Buff Bagwell.
01:02:57No, no, no.
01:02:58By the total package.
01:02:59That's right.
01:03:00Luger was nailed by the total package.
01:03:03The new total package, Buff Bagwell.
01:03:05Get it right or get out of here.
01:03:07It's our way or the highway.
01:03:09And here comes the big man.
01:03:12Kevin Nash has hit the ring.
01:03:14The giant.
01:03:15The real giant.
01:03:16The only giant.
01:03:18Well, he'll have a chance to prove that this Sunday at Starrcade against 7'4".
01:03:23And he says 480 pounds of the giant.
01:03:26And now Kevin Nash.
01:03:28Jack.
01:03:29Tremendous jackknife powerbomb.
01:03:31With minimum ease.
01:03:33That's the giant right there.
01:03:34There's no doubt about it.
01:03:37Imagine how hard.
01:03:39What's that other guy's name, that other guy that thinks he's a giant?
01:03:42The giant.
01:03:43Listen.
01:03:47Well, with an assist from Buff Bagwell and Kevin Nash.
01:03:52The macho man delivers the top rope elbow.
01:03:55One, two, three.
01:03:56No question.
01:03:56This is the New World Order plan to soften up Lex Luger prior to the matchup.
01:04:01At Starrcade with Buff Bagwell.
01:04:04Referee Randy Anderson revives just enough to make the three count.
01:04:08And the madness reigns supreme.
01:04:09A win is a win is a win.
01:04:13But what a win.
01:04:15Wow.
01:04:16And again, this celebration.
01:04:18This is part of the New World Order MO.
01:04:21Whatever method it takes to get the win, you know the NWO will do it.
01:04:25More exciting action coming back.
01:04:28This portion of NWO Monday Nitro is brought to you by Skittles Bite Size Candies.
01:04:34Taste the rainbow of fruit flavors.
01:04:35When we began this program, nearly three hours ago, the Coliseum in Macon, Georgia.
01:04:50Well, it was NWO country.
01:04:53But nice.
01:04:53It's been a transformation.
01:04:55There's no doubt about it.
01:04:57It's the NWO.
01:04:58You're right, Mr. Root.
01:05:00You are a quick learner, aren't you?
01:05:01There's no question.
01:05:03And apparently the tribute continues.
01:05:07The fans here in Macon during the break chanting, we want Sting.
01:05:15But as we see Eric Bischoff and Hollywood Hulk Hogan with the World Heavyweight Championship
01:05:20belt in hand posing in front of the new NWO Monday Nitro logo.
01:05:29Well, Bischoff and Hogan.
01:05:31Obviously, the tribute continues for Hogan with the early Christmas presents.
01:05:36What's next?
01:05:37The look of confidence in two of these men.
01:05:40Look at the confidence.
01:05:40I think the next thing will be when the announcement comes on the 29th of December that Sting can
01:05:46no longer wrestle anymore.
01:05:48He's going to retire for professional wrestling because of that man.
01:05:52My prayers will be answered.
01:05:56NWO style.
01:05:57Hogan says that they will take care of business this Sunday.
01:06:01The matchup that we've all been waiting for.
01:06:03When he faces Sting for the World Heavyweight Championship.
01:06:07And it looks like Bischoff has the microphone.
01:06:18You know, Hollywood.
01:06:20It's a wonderful life.
01:06:24Being with you, it's like nothing I would have ever imagined.
01:06:31And I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
01:06:36Well, I love you, boss.
01:06:38But we're going to party on through 1998.
01:06:42But the party is over for one little chickling.
01:06:47Stinger, you shall be stung, brother.
01:06:50The weight of the world is on your shoulders.
01:06:54This isn't my first barbecue.
01:06:58Hollywood is used to the high pressure situations.
01:07:02Hollywood is used to beating main eventers all over the world.
01:07:06And on the 28th in Starrcade, Sting shall be stung.
01:07:12You shall be another notch on the NWO belt because the pressure's on you.
01:07:19When you don't pull this one off.
01:07:21When you don't rise to the occasion.
01:07:24It was written.
01:07:26It was said.
01:07:28And Eric, it will be done.
01:07:31You know, you shouldn't have.
01:07:32Enough is enough, boss.
01:07:34I didn't do that.
01:07:37You know I love you.
01:07:38No, but Hollywood, really.
01:07:40Scott, Kevin.
01:07:41The NWO is just too sweet.
01:07:54Oh, that's a hit man.
01:07:56The limo has arrived back on the scene with one guy.
01:08:00Brett the Hitman Hart.
01:08:02The newest member of the NWO, Brett Hitman Hart.
01:08:06I knew it had to be him.
01:08:08Hold on, boss.
01:08:09Thank you, Brett.
01:08:11What did I tell you?
01:08:12Well, it looks like a message has been delivered to Hollywood Hulk Hogan and the NWO, Mr. Rude.
01:08:35What is that?
01:08:37What is this?
01:08:38What is going on now?
01:08:41Is Bret Hart trying to say he wants a piece of the NWO?
01:08:45Rude, look at that.
01:08:46It's Sting.
01:08:47Sting has arrived on the scene.
01:08:50And he's up on top of the NWO sign at the top of the building here in Macon.
01:08:55Take him out, Hollywood.
01:08:57Take him out.
01:09:00Sting on his way to the ring.
01:09:01We'll see you Sunday at Star King.
