00:00:00Justin, I don't need no help.
00:00:04Luger!
00:00:07Let's Luger get your...
00:00:10Now Elizabeth is with him.
00:00:12Get him out of here.
00:00:13I'm not so sure he has seen her yet.
00:00:16I think all he sees is red.
00:00:18Oh, we are going to have...
00:00:20They're all coming out.
00:00:22Yes, we are.
00:00:23We're going to have a meeting of the minds there.
00:00:25Hey, look at her.
00:00:25Look at the expression on her face.
00:00:27She don't know what to make of this.
00:00:28Look at the total package out here.
00:00:31No disqualification.
00:00:34Looks to me like Macho's messing up their pecking order.
00:00:41Everyone in the NWO who arrived in separate limousines earlier out,
00:00:47Savage came out by himself.
00:00:49Came in and looked like a rental car.
00:00:51No help at all.
00:00:52It sold out.
00:00:53And they're going to try to settle something here.
00:00:59Hey, I like this.
00:01:01I hope they all get in a big fight and knock each other out.
00:01:03Me too.
00:01:05Bunch of clowns!
00:01:07I would agree.
00:01:09Hold on, Macho Man.
00:01:14Cooler heads need to prevail.
00:01:18And my friend, yours is wound just a little too tight.
00:01:22Well, that's really great.
00:01:24Glad you care about my loss to Luger.
00:01:26Glad you care about it.
00:01:28But guess what?
00:01:28I know you don't.
00:01:30Neither do you.
00:01:31Neither do you.
00:01:33And you make me sick.
00:01:35Oh.
00:01:36Wow.
00:01:37Whoa.
00:01:38Four life seems to be a short-term contract.
00:01:41Yes, it does.
00:01:49Mach, you got a problem.
00:01:52It's a family.
00:01:55We're all here to fix it.
00:01:56And the man has got something he'd like to say to you.
00:02:01Dying to hear it.
00:02:03You know, Madness, if you're part of the team, brother, you've got to realize you've got to play the whole game.
00:02:14Sometimes me and the big man, sometimes me and Scott, sometimes we have a difference of opinion.
00:02:22But we all love each other.
00:02:25K-Dog, Big Norton, Buff, The Boss, Vince.
00:02:31We're all in this thing together.
00:02:32And you know, the picture that we saw the other night when me and Big Scott, Mr. Hall, came down to the ring was, you know, that you weren't doing so good.
00:02:47You know, you know, the picture that we saw, Mr. Macho Man, was that you weren't winning no gold medals out there.
00:02:58And you weren't exactly leading the dance with Flexi Lexi.
00:03:02So the way things go, because we care about you so much, and because we love you so much, me and Mr. Hall came down with the NWO spirit at heart,
00:03:21thinking that just our physical presence, seeing us at ringside, would be enough incentive for you to overcome Lex Luger outshining you.
00:03:34So that is the way it is.
00:03:41You are not looking so good.
00:03:44And what it is, is what it is.
00:03:47If you don't want us caring for you and leading the way for you all the way to the top, all the way to the victory, my man, you are on your own.
00:04:00And that's the way I want it.
00:04:04Three things now I got to tell you, I got to tell y'all.
00:04:11Number one, that match wasn't over yet.
00:04:14I had things under control, believe me.
00:04:17Oh, yeah.
00:04:20Number two, you guys weren't exactly unbelievably coordinated when you got there.
00:04:28So I don't need you in my matches anymore.
00:04:34And number three.
00:04:37And believe me, you talk about a picture of confidence.
00:04:42You talk about a picture of control.
00:04:45I'm looking at a man that looked much better when he had the gold around his waist.
00:04:53All right, that's enough.
00:04:55Come on, Randy.
00:04:56Come on, that's enough.
00:04:58Stir it up.
00:04:58That's enough.
00:04:59Hold on.
00:05:00Everybody in the family, you included, knows I beat Sting two times.
00:05:07Twice, brother.
00:05:08Everybody here, all these NW lights and all these other pukes out here, know that I'm responsible for the whole success of wrestling.
00:05:18And everybody knows I should have the belt around my waist right now.
00:05:25And just because J.J. Dillon is playing politics, everybody knows in February I'll have the belt and Sting will be stung.
00:05:34And if you don't like that, Macho Man, if you don't like that, brother, I got a big problem with that triple digger.
00:05:42Come on, man.
00:05:45Randy, don't do it.
00:05:47Don't do it.
00:05:49He's nuts.
00:05:49Come on.
00:05:52Bischoff trying to keep the peace.
00:05:54Bischoff actually sticking his head to the ropes.
00:05:56We'll hit Bischoff.
00:05:57Yeah, why not?
00:05:58Maybe he don't know Savage.
00:05:59Savage will hit him.
00:06:00Oh, yeah.
00:06:06You got a problem, brother?
00:06:08You better work it out.
00:06:09You're a part of this family.
00:06:11Here, you got something to say?
00:06:12Don't help me.
00:06:17I'll take care of Luger.
00:06:19You see if you can take care of Sting and get that gold back in the family.
00:06:24Hey, brother, you take care of yourself, and I'll take care of myself.
00:06:30You're coasting on your own right now, partner.
00:06:35Just don't make it for life or you'll be sorry.
00:06:38Well, they really stopped short of completely throwing him out of the NWO because they really believe that it is for life.
00:06:47But you can see that they are more than ever now, shredding, falling apart, coming unblued.
00:06:57This new world order having problems that we love, don't we, living like this?
00:07:03Yeah, the decision has grown.
00:07:05I don't care what they say.
00:07:06They cannot deny.
00:07:08They are crumbling.
00:07:09They are crumbling before our very eyes.
00:07:12Good news.
00:07:13Tonight, every Monday night, Nitro parties all over the world.
00:07:19And Mean Gene's still in Chattanooga, Tennessee with the Nitro Girls with our Grand Prize winner.
00:07:25Take it away, Gene.
00:07:27Not the base kick.
00:07:28All right, we are back with more WCW Monday Nitro.
00:07:37We are live in Chattanooga, Tennessee at Lamba Chi Alpha.
00:07:42We've got the Nitro Girls standing by.
00:07:44Check them out.
00:07:45We're going in!
00:08:09We're going in!
00:08:09We're going in!
00:08:13Oh, yes, indeed!
00:08:21This is what Nitro parties are all about.
00:08:24I suggest you get your tape into us as soon as you can and be part of our next Grand Prize winner.
00:08:31Nitro Girls on hand.
00:08:32Hey, what are we going to do?
00:08:33A little play in the Nitro Girl.
00:08:35Is that it?
00:08:35I love it.
00:08:36This gentleman has just been...
00:08:38What is your name, sir?
00:08:39Excuse me?
00:08:40What is your name?
00:08:41Daniel Hunt.
00:08:42That's good enough.
00:08:42Now, Daniel, you're going to try to pin the Nitro Girl.
00:08:45I'm not going to let you do it in person.
00:08:47You're going to have to pin the poster.
00:08:49If we can get a shot in here.
00:08:50Poster is over this way.
00:08:52Spin them around.
00:08:54That's it.
00:08:55Spin them around.
00:08:56Hold on.
00:08:57Okay.
00:08:58Go ahead.
00:08:59Nope, nope, nope.
00:09:00Hey, not there.
00:09:01Not there.
00:09:02Oh.
00:09:04Well, I guess that's going to have to pass.
00:09:05Looks to me.
00:09:08Mikey.
00:09:09That's it.
00:09:10Does that look familiar?
00:09:12Hey, now.
00:09:13I think we got a little fun in hand.
00:09:15Hey, here's a Sting knockoff.
00:09:16Come on in.
00:09:17Nitro Girls, I'd like to have you, if you would.
00:09:20Now, we've got some numbers here.
00:09:22Judge this man's costume.
00:09:24Obviously, this isn't exactly Sting.
00:09:26What do we have?
00:09:27A two.
00:09:28What do I have?
00:09:29And I've got a nine.
00:09:30Anything in between?
00:09:31Apparently, that's it.
00:09:33This is Nitro.
00:09:34We are live in Chattanooga.
00:09:36Get your tapes in, and you can be caught in it.
00:09:38Let's get back to Burrack.
00:09:43Not your average Pi Beta Phi party, but it's not bad.
00:09:46They're having a great time, and I know Nitro parties being held.
00:09:50Look in the ring, if you will.
00:09:52Being held all across the country right now.
00:09:55Raven is scheduled to wrestle, and as always,
00:09:59slinks down into the corner of the ring.
00:10:03You know, Raven's a guy, he never has fun anywhere.
00:10:07If he was at the Nitro party, he wouldn't be having fun.
00:10:12This guy's strange.
00:10:13Did you see him at sold out?
00:10:15When Benoit snatched him in his hold, didn't tap out.
00:10:20You could see a smile come to his face, and he went unconscious.
00:10:23Best time he ever had.
00:10:24Well, the lights dim here in the arena as Mortis will make his way in for the next bout.
00:10:32Fans, don't forget, we still have some great two title matches to come,
00:10:38including DDP against Wrath, and Booker T against Saturn for the TV title.
00:10:46I want to remind you that WCW's Monday Nitro comes to Philadelphia Monday, March 2nd,
00:10:52at the Core State Spectrum.
00:10:54Tickets are available at the Box Office and Ticketmaster.
00:10:56And Mean Gene will be on hand at Tower Records at 610 South Street, Friday from noon to 2 this coming Friday.
00:11:03And we have a big event Friday, March 6th, at the A.J. Palumbo Center in Pittsburgh.
00:11:08Tickets available, and we'll go on sale this Friday, January 30th, at the Box Office and all usual outlets.
00:11:14Don't forget, as we said, next Monday we'll be in San Antonio at the Alamo Dome
00:11:18for Monday Nitro tickets to the Box Office and Ticketmaster there.
00:11:22Still to come tonight, we're going to talk about where Thunder is going to be
00:11:26in the next couple of weeks on a Thursday, and how you can be part of it live,
00:11:29and how WCW will be coming to our great fans in Sioux City, Iowa, and Lincoln, Nebraska.
00:11:36In the month of February, at the end of the month.
00:11:39Well, we've got two rare oddities in that ring now, Raven and Mortis.
00:11:45The lights go back on, you'll see them.
00:11:49Notice how Raven didn't even move.
00:11:51I mean, he's just, it's almost as if he's catatonic.
00:11:56He's moving now.
00:11:58Didn't he say no disqualification, that's his rules?
00:12:00He's got his own set of rules.
00:12:03But still, no jackknife power bombs allowed.
00:12:07Thank goodness.
00:12:12Outside, Raven takes a spill.
00:12:14Oh, and a right hand, and that decked him.
00:12:20That absolutely decked him.
00:12:26Mortis.
00:12:27Oh!
00:12:29Shoulder first to the steel step.
00:12:31You know, Brain, you know, you talked about what happened to Raven against Benoit.
00:12:36As Mortis looks over towards Raven's flock.
00:12:39And Raven is being punctured here, being handed, being beaten, and I believe you're right.
00:12:45The man loves to get hurt.
00:12:46Well, you saw the way Benoit had him Saturday night.
00:12:50The average man would have given up in 25, 30 seconds.
00:12:53He must have had on for a couple minutes, four or five minutes.
00:12:56And that grin just came to his face.
00:12:58And you can see Benoit pulling back and pulling back.
00:13:00He never tapped out.
00:13:01He never said anything.
00:13:02You can see the whites of his teeth and his eyes rolled back into his head.
00:13:06Smile came to his face.
00:13:07And he went out cold.
00:13:08That's a sick bird right there.
00:13:12Face first goes Raven.
00:13:15We talked about the beginning of the match and there's no disqualification.
00:13:20Atmosphere that he wants.
00:13:21Rules are no rules that he wants.
00:13:23He's getting what he wants.
00:13:25And I really think when he says, hey, I want no disqualification.
00:13:29I want anything goes.
00:13:30He's telling his opponents, I want you to hurt me.
00:13:33As bizarre as that sounds, that's what he wants.
00:13:35He is bizarre.
00:13:36He is a sick individual.
00:13:38And, uh, boy, you got me confused.
00:13:43But he's rebounding now.
00:13:44At least he's attempting to, holding on.
00:13:46Well, Mortis is no scout leader.
00:13:48He's a strange puppy, too.
00:13:49My outlook on professional wrestling was make a lot of money,
00:13:53but you have to have a lifespan to do it in.
00:13:56Raven, if he's around in two or three years, I'll be surprised.
00:14:00There's a knee as he caught Mortis coming off the left side ropes
00:14:03and a forearm shot.
00:14:03And Raven is showing us.
00:14:05He is showing us that he can take a pounding, but he comes right back.
00:14:12Mortis counters with the exact same move, but to the other side.
00:14:18Mortis is a tough, tough man.
00:14:22Raven holds on.
00:14:24Knee firmly to the midsection.
00:14:25I hear Vandenberg has meetings with his men about four or five times a week.
00:14:30They run tape and tape and tape, and they watch everybody.
00:14:35He's got these guys ready.
00:14:38Well, they're ready.
00:14:38They're prepared.
00:14:39He's going to have his other big man come out to face Diamond Dallas Page in a few moments for the U.S. belt.
00:14:44But now Raven has got a second win here.
00:14:48And here he goes.
00:14:49The steps in.
00:14:50Oh!
00:14:51That is a very high knee.
00:14:53In the face, using the steps.
00:14:56And Mortis goes down in a heap here.
00:14:58I was wondering what he was doing.
00:14:59He just springboarded off those steps.
00:15:01Now he moved them again.
00:15:05Should be interesting.
00:15:06One more time.
00:15:09Up on top.
00:15:09And again.
00:15:12Same was that.
00:15:14Mortis crashes back of the head.
00:15:18Raven's got to be a lot of fun on a jetway.
00:15:25He's not all there.
00:15:28But he's tough.
00:15:29Come on, Mortis!
00:15:30Stick to the game plan!
00:15:32As weird and as odd as Vandenberg is, he doesn't even want to get near Raven.
00:15:35Vandenberg seems normal.
00:15:38Compared to Raven.
00:15:39Most everyone does.
00:15:41Mortis cannot get up.
00:15:42And Raven now hovering over Mortis here.
00:15:48Mortis, a good reversal again.
00:15:50Picks him up.
00:15:51Head first to the top turnbuckle pad.
00:15:56Yeah, Mortis got one in, but he's getting up slow.
00:16:01And a back elbow.
00:16:03Oh, look at what Raven got up!
00:16:06He went down pretty quick.
00:16:09Raven, he likes this.
00:16:10He enjoys it.
00:16:11He enjoys you pounding on him.
00:16:12Notice how calmly the Raven's flock is watching on on the far side.
00:16:19Variation of a power slam by Mortis.
00:16:22Hooking a near leg.
00:16:23Didn't beat him.
00:16:24But he came darn close that time, guys.
00:16:27Look at a bunch of zombies sitting out there.
00:16:30City of the living dead.
00:16:31Raven, come on, Raven!
00:16:33The only one that's really into this is Lodi.
00:16:37Everyone else is kind of staring.
00:16:39And Raven, who gets rolled up and he gets...
00:16:42Well, he doesn't get pinned, but he came real close that time.
00:16:45Inside cradle and...
00:16:46I thought I saw him, man.
00:16:49It looked good!
00:16:50And he levels him with a right hand.
00:16:52And I mean leveled him.
00:16:53I think he knocked your mouth with that one.
00:16:56Well, keep going.
00:16:56What's he doing?
00:16:57Calling for the chair.
00:16:58No qualification.
00:17:00Raven's rules.
00:17:03Well, Raven asked for it.
00:17:05Be careful what you wish for.
00:17:06It may come true.
00:17:07And he's gonna get it.
00:17:08I hope.
00:17:11Batter up.
00:17:12He's waiting for him to get up and turn around.
00:17:14Oh, he ducked Raven.
00:17:16Raven's got him!
00:17:17And it's DDT!
00:17:19That was superior quickness by Raven.
00:17:22Exhibited to duck DDT.
00:17:24And he wins!
00:17:26Oh, what a fight!
00:17:29Raven showing us that he takes punishment and likes it.
00:17:33And can come back and win a wrestling match.
00:17:36Must be an honor amongst the flock.
00:17:39The more bandages, the more scars, the more broken bones,
00:17:44the higher you work your way up on their pecking order.
00:17:49This enigma that is Raven gets his hand raised,
00:17:53wins another match with Raven's rules.
00:17:57Which basically are none.
00:17:59Here it is again.
00:18:01Look at this.
00:18:02Drops his face right on the steps.
00:18:05Never seen that done before.
00:18:07Raven.
00:18:07Fixes his steps all he wants.
00:18:09Hits him with a high knee right in the mush.
00:18:13Look at this.
00:18:15If he'd have hit him with that chair,
00:18:16you'd have never found Raven again.
00:18:17Real quick.
00:18:18DDT right here.
00:18:20And your winner over Mortis.
00:18:22A big tough man.
00:18:23Your winner.
00:18:25Raven.
00:18:26Raven is your winner.
00:18:27Diamond Dallas Page will be coming up defending the U.S. title.
00:18:30Plus, don't forget,
00:18:31Britt the Hitman Harden is here.
00:18:33And Lex Luger.
00:18:34Will face Scott Hall.
00:18:36Stay with us on Nitro.
00:18:41Well, over the past couple of days,
00:18:43we have witnessed the New World Order
00:18:45seemingly dissolving before our very eyes.
00:18:49And a lot is riding on that big world title bout coming up at Super Brawl 8 on February 22nd in San Francisco.
00:19:02The Cow Palace.
00:19:03Sting and Hogan to battle to decide who will be the world champion.
00:19:09And the title held up.
00:19:10The title vacated.
00:19:12Randy Macho Man Savage walked out alone.
00:19:15Only Miss Elizabeth followed behind.
00:19:17He is still within the NWO.
00:19:19But he is a very bitter, very dangerous man right now.
00:19:23And as we went off the air and sold out, you saw the disarray, living legend, of the NWO.
00:19:30And we saw how Sting and Luger were centered in the ring, showing the world again that WCW heard Luger's comments about what happened to the Giant.
00:19:39Now WCW is ready to rise to the occasion anytime, anywhere.
00:19:46Well, you know, there was the straw that broke the camel's back.
00:19:49And I think we have seen now the straw that put the camel's back back together.
00:19:54And that was the injury of the Giant.
00:19:57And WCW, the more they see the New World Order degenerate, the stronger they're going to get.
00:20:05The hope is shining brighter day by day.
00:20:09And hopefully soon, there will be no New World Order at all.
00:20:14It'll be real interesting to find out an update on the condition of the Giant.
00:20:20Yeah, you know, you saw as, oh my goodness, back in the ring, first time in a couple of weeks, DDP, United States Heavyweight Champion, Diamond Dallas Page.
00:20:34Makes his way to the ring, determined look in his eyes.
00:20:38And you see the legions of fans that are following this man and his career.
00:20:43They can identify with him.
00:20:45This is one man that really, really has a success story.
00:20:49Came from nothing.
00:20:51Everyone knocked him.
00:20:52Everyone called him names.
00:20:53They said he was a lowlife.
00:20:54Never asked for help from anybody.
00:20:57Been beat up.
00:20:58Been worked over.
00:20:59Broken ribs.
00:21:00Everything's happened to this man.
00:21:01Came back, beat Kurt Hennig, became the United States Champion, and still doesn't ask for any help.
00:21:09Well, I tell you, Vandenberg may have men who are rare oddities, but Diamond Dallas Page is definitely a man of rare determination and integrity.
00:21:19Well said, living legend.
00:21:20Here we go for the U.S. title bout here, live on WCW Monday Nitro, in the second of three hours here tonight.
00:21:28Our three-hour program begins tonight, each and every week.
00:21:31We'll be with you live from arenas across the country with the greatest wrestling action in the world.
00:21:38Shoulder block.
00:21:39He's talking about the disarray of the NWO.
00:21:41Oh, well, still to come.
00:21:42Scott Hall loves Luger.
00:21:44Remember what Savage said about Luger.
00:21:46He can take Luger on on his own and needs no help.
00:21:50I'm surprised someone rented Savage a car.
00:21:53State of mind that guy's in.
00:21:55But that's not a bad point.
00:21:56Well, did you rent him a car?
00:21:57Did he come to my counter?
00:21:58Absolutely not.
00:22:00Mid-size!
00:22:01He might have just took the car.
00:22:03Look at Paige.
00:22:05Paige is afraid of no one.
00:22:07Slap in the face.
00:22:09And Rad is one big, powerful man with a reputation.
00:22:13And Paige knocks him down.
00:22:15How about that?
00:22:18Into the midsection, Paige.
00:22:21How about that Russian leg sweep?
00:22:23He's getting good, isn't he?
00:22:24That nice move was almost, he was ready for the diamond cutter,
00:22:28but Paige reversed to push that Russian leg sweep in
00:22:31and reach out and tag him.
00:22:33You know, Brain, you said getting good.
00:22:35Hey, he is good.
00:22:36But I think what you're saying there,
00:22:38he's showing us more moves.
00:22:40We talk all the time about DDP.
00:22:42Now at the brunt of a backbreaker,
00:22:44we talk so much about DDP and the diamond cutter,
00:22:47but we are seeing there's more to Diamond Dallas Paige
00:22:49than just one move.
00:22:51Determination, heart.
00:22:53And you said it really correctly, Larry,
00:22:55when you said it a few minutes ago.
00:22:56So here's the man that puts his effort in,
00:22:59his heart into what he does.
00:23:01And it's paid off for him.
00:23:02When you've been to the gutter
00:23:04and then back to the penthouse,
00:23:06you realize that no matter what happens,
00:23:08if you remain yourself,
00:23:10nobody can take that away from you.
00:23:13Vandenberg snuck it behind there.
00:23:15A little extra added help there.
00:23:17I'll tell you something.
00:23:18Somebody asked me the other day,
00:23:19they said, is it harder for him to put the diamond cutter
00:23:22on a small man or a big man?
00:23:23Well, you would think a bigger man
00:23:25because he can get underneath the chin and grab him.
00:23:26It doesn't matter with this guy.
00:23:28He can put it on you so many different ways
00:23:29from so many different angles.
00:23:31He's really got the advantage.
00:23:33One, two, three.
00:23:35You look at this maneuver that we have seen before now.
00:23:38We saw it on WCW Saturday night from Rath
00:23:41where he pulls on the neck
00:23:42and holds the abdomen region
00:23:45and holds you back into the corner.
00:23:47It's almost a version of the abdominal stretch,
00:23:49but he used the ropes.
00:23:52Page pulling.
00:23:52Oh, yeah.
00:23:53Look at this fighter.
00:23:55Oh, what character he has.
00:23:58Right and left combinations.
00:24:00But Rath held on that time.
00:24:03In the corner, foot to the midsection.
00:24:05Rath got him doubled over
00:24:08and then knocks him down with the right hand.
00:24:10Got him down,
00:24:10but Diamond Dallas will not give up.
00:24:13Pick up.
00:24:15Don't forget,
00:24:15we're going to hear from Brett the Hitman Hart
00:24:17plus the British Bulldog,
00:24:19Davey Boyd Smith,
00:24:20makes his debut
00:24:21against Steve Manga McMichael
00:24:22still to come in the third hour tonight.
00:24:24Up on top and...
00:24:26Whoa!
00:24:27Did he get him?
00:24:28Great explosion
00:24:29with the top Rath
00:24:29and that's it.
00:24:30We're going to be champion here.
00:24:31Oh!
00:24:32That was close.
00:24:33Too close.
00:24:34You could have got a paint job
00:24:35between his shoulders and the neck.
00:24:37Rath with a long look at Mickey J
00:24:39thinking that maybe
00:24:40the count was a little too slow,
00:24:42but it was not.
00:24:43It was consistent.
00:24:44A pick up
00:24:44and DDP holds on.
00:24:46DDP almost came out
00:24:48with a DDT that time,
00:24:50but he is rolling forward
00:24:51on that great counter move.
00:24:54Rath the first man up
00:24:55with DDT,
00:24:56the first man
00:24:57that gets the offense going.
00:25:00I'll tell you,
00:25:01when a man will fight
00:25:02on his knees
00:25:03and fight his way up,
00:25:05you can tell he's a fighter.
00:25:06Well, sometimes it's good to stay low,
00:25:07watch for an opening.
00:25:08Rath left it
00:25:09and Diamond Dallas found it.
00:25:11Oh, wow!
00:25:12Nailed him!
00:25:13If I don't get you
00:25:13at the right,
00:25:14I'm going to get you
00:25:15at the left.
00:25:16He's calling
00:25:17for the Diamond Cutter
00:25:19and that brings
00:25:20James Vandenberg up
00:25:21and it also brings
00:25:23Mortis out.
00:25:24Mortis has arrived
00:25:25at ringside.
00:25:26We can see him
00:25:26at the far side
00:25:27and now Mortis is up.
00:25:30Mortis.
00:25:32He gets knocked down.
00:25:33He's got a winner,
00:25:36I bet.
00:25:36Hellfire, DDP.
00:25:39There's too many men out there.
00:25:42Do it now,
00:25:42get over it
00:25:43and watch your back.
00:25:45Yes!
00:25:50Diamond Dallas Page,
00:25:53the Diamond Cutter,
00:25:54still the United States
00:25:57Heavyweight Champion.
00:25:57Every time he puts it on,
00:26:04it's electric.
00:26:06And as Frank said,
00:26:09each way a different way.
00:26:11And as...
00:26:11He goes out the arena
00:26:13a different way
00:26:13every time too.
00:26:14Yeah, but he always goes
00:26:15through the fans.
00:26:17A man who knows
00:26:19what it means
00:26:21to be a champion,
00:26:23to work hard.
00:26:25The people love
00:26:26Diamond Dallas Page
00:26:27and they should.
00:26:33Walk out with that goal,
00:26:34Diamond Dallas.
00:26:35Keep it away
00:26:36from the new world order.
00:26:38You earned every bit of it.
00:26:39Look in the ring.
00:26:41Trying to help
00:26:42Rath up is Mortis.
00:26:45Rath don't know
00:26:45what hit him.
00:26:46Rath went that good.
00:26:47Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:26:49He thinks that's Diamond Dallas!
00:26:50That's right!
00:26:51It was Mortis
00:26:52and he put him
00:26:53in that death penalty
00:26:54and Mortis is out.
00:26:56He was just trying
00:26:57to help his binder up.
00:26:58Yeah, but look at Vandenberg.
00:26:59He's laying down the law to him.
00:27:00Look at this dummy.
00:27:01You got the wrong guy.
00:27:02You were supposed
00:27:03to be wrestling Diamond Dallas.
00:27:04Not your own partner.
00:27:05But maybe I made
00:27:06a mistake here.
00:27:07Maybe Rath doesn't care!
00:27:09He's going to chase away
00:27:12Vandenberg
00:27:13as the explosion means
00:27:15that we are going
00:27:17into uncharted waters.
00:27:19We are going
00:27:20to the third hour.
00:27:21That's right.
00:27:21One more hour to go.
00:27:23When we come back,
00:27:24Brett, the Hitman Hart
00:27:26and more
00:27:26live on Nitro.
00:27:32Fort Wayne, Indiana
00:27:33and a national TNT audience.
00:27:36Please welcome
00:27:37the five-time
00:27:39world's heavyweight champion,
00:27:41Brett, the Hitman Hart.
00:27:45Brett Hart, who was involved
00:27:47in what will go down
00:27:48as a WCW pay-per-view classic
00:27:51two nights ago
00:27:52against the Nature Boy,
00:27:54Rick Clare.
00:27:55Look at this, Tony.
00:27:57Since he came here
00:27:57to WCW,
00:27:59Hogan's lost the title.
00:28:01Nothing but trouble
00:28:02with the NWO
00:28:03and he's right
00:28:04in the thick of it.
00:28:05Call him a catalyst, maybe?
00:28:07A man who makes
00:28:08things happen?
00:28:09Oh, I thought you said
00:28:10a Cadillac.
00:28:11A catalyst.
00:28:12Never mind.
00:28:13Let's go back
00:28:14to Mike Tone.
00:28:15You see how the fans
00:28:16love this man, Mike.
00:28:27This past Saturday
00:28:28it sold out.
00:28:29It was certainly
00:28:29one of the most
00:28:30highly anticipated
00:28:32matchups of all time
00:28:33when you scored
00:28:34a very impressive victory
00:28:35over the Nature Boy,
00:28:36Ric Flair.
00:28:37And we'd like to get
00:28:38your insights
00:28:39on that classic matchup.
00:28:43Well,
00:28:44I'll say one thing,
00:28:46it was a tough match.
00:28:48And I didn't come here
00:28:49to disrespect Ric Flair
00:28:50or gloat about the match.
00:28:52If anything,
00:28:54I just want to thank him
00:28:56for a great wrestling match
00:28:58with a great wrestler.
00:29:00And Ric Flair,
00:29:01you're wrong about one thing.
00:29:04To be the man,
00:29:06you have to beat the man.
00:29:07Well, that's not true.
00:29:09Because Ric Flair,
00:29:10you're always going to be
00:29:11the man.
00:29:15Now, I'm going to move on
00:29:16to other things down
00:29:17on the WCW.
00:29:20As far as this big decision
00:29:21by Roddy Piper,
00:29:24you know,
00:29:25any decision Piper makes
00:29:28is cool with me.
00:29:30And the decision he's made
00:29:31about staying and Hogan
00:29:32and the title
00:29:33and the whole thing,
00:29:34that's cool with me.
00:29:38Because I came to the WCW
00:29:40to prove one thing.
00:29:42To prove
00:29:44that I should be
00:29:46the WCW World Heavyweight Champion.
00:29:50So I don't care
00:29:51what happens
00:29:52in the match
00:29:53with Hogan
00:29:54or Sting.
00:29:57Because I'm going to prove
00:29:58to either one of them.
00:29:59I'm going to prove
00:30:00to everybody out there
00:30:01watching on TV.
00:30:03Everybody out there
00:30:04in the audience.
00:30:05I'm going to prove
00:30:06to everybody back there
00:30:07in the dressing room
00:30:08that sooner or later,
00:30:11I'm going to be
00:30:12the best
00:30:14WCW Champion
00:30:16that this company
00:30:17has ever had.
00:30:19Thank you very much.
00:30:21Well, it's obvious
00:30:22Bret Hart feels
00:30:23that he's in
00:30:24the middle
00:30:25of that WCW
00:30:26World Heavyweight
00:30:27title picture.
00:30:28Tony, back to you.
00:30:29Mike, thanks a lot.
00:30:30And I tell you,
00:30:30we all knew
00:30:31what his purpose was
00:30:32to become the world champ.
00:30:34And he's made it
00:30:35well known to the world now.
00:30:37Bret Hart
00:30:38has his tight set
00:30:39on becoming
00:30:40the world champ.

00:32:38We've had a great time
00:32:40here tonight.
00:32:40I think this pretty much
00:32:42represents the reception
00:32:43that Nitro gets
00:32:44at college campuses

00:32:47And tell me,

00:33:10Thanks a lot, Gene.
00:33:11Job well done
00:33:12and I knew it was a tough one.
00:33:13Good news, Tony.
00:33:14What's that, Frank?
00:33:15We'll never see him again.
00:33:19Well, he may not mind
00:33:21that either.
00:33:21I mean,
00:33:21he's going to stay there
00:33:22with the Nitro girls.
00:33:23You like that too,
00:33:24don't you, Larry?
00:33:24That's a lot of fun.
00:33:25Oh, I just...
00:33:26I don't know.
00:33:27They threw me
00:33:28out of college.
00:33:30They did, huh?
00:33:31Well, you see Lodi

00:33:45defeated Rick Martell
00:33:48who retained the belt

00:34:12Well,
00:34:12Booker T.
00:34:15The man who's come
00:34:16from tag team wrestling
00:34:17to single wrestling
00:34:20and now he's got
00:34:21this rematch here
00:34:22against Saturn.
00:34:25I'll tell you,
00:34:26Booker T,
00:34:27very impressive man.
00:34:29I mean,
00:34:29I'm not an easy guy
00:34:30to impress
00:34:31but this guy,
00:34:32phenomenal athlete,
00:34:34sometimes for a man
00:34:35260 pounds
00:34:37just seems to defy
00:34:38gravity
00:34:39and Saturn
00:34:40is going to have
00:34:41a tough time
00:34:42what Booker T's
00:34:43got to watch out for
00:34:44is the flock.
00:34:45They're always around
00:34:47clapping their wings
00:34:48someplace.
00:34:49They're always a part
00:34:50of it.
00:34:51Now,
00:34:51they were banned
00:34:52from ringside
00:34:53but they came out
00:34:54here tonight
00:34:55and purchased
00:34:55their own tickets.
00:34:58However,
00:34:58as you know,
00:34:59WCW has been laying
00:35:00down the law
00:35:01about outside
00:35:02interference,
00:35:03about attack.
00:35:04Well,
00:35:05Lodi has jumped
00:35:05across the safety rail
00:35:07and he'll get involved
00:35:07here somewhere
00:35:09or the other.
00:35:09He's got his signage
00:35:10out.
00:35:12Wanted to talk
00:35:13about Thunder
00:35:14and the event
00:35:15coming up this Thursday
00:35:16on TBS
00:35:16and Thunder's
00:35:18coming up
00:35:19during the month
00:35:19of February.
00:35:19I'll get to that
00:35:20probably during
00:35:21the next matchup
00:35:22because we're just
00:35:22about set to go.
00:35:23Charles Robinson,
00:35:24the referee,
00:35:25this is for the TV title.
00:35:26Do not forget,
00:35:27we still have the debut
00:35:28of the British Bulldog,
00:35:29Davey Boy Smith
00:35:30who is now in WCW.
00:35:32He'll face Steve
00:35:32Mongo McMichael.
00:35:33What an opening match
00:35:34for him in WCW.
00:35:36Ray Traylor
00:35:36and Kevin Nash
00:35:37to go.
00:35:38Scott Hall
00:35:39and the total package
00:35:40Lex Luger.
00:35:41It's all still to come
00:35:42in this third hour
00:35:43of Nitro.
00:35:44Remember this,
00:35:45Savage is here
00:35:46and he's going nuts.
00:35:48Yeah,
00:35:48but he's always nuts.
00:35:49Yeah,
00:35:50Savage is here,
00:35:50that's right,
00:35:51and he's been there
00:35:52and back many times.
00:35:54Well,
00:35:54he hasn't let us down.
00:35:55No,
00:35:56he's not.
00:35:57One thing about,
00:35:58there's one thing
00:35:58you can say about Savage.
00:36:00He's pretty consistent
00:36:01about being a nut,
00:36:02isn't he?
00:36:02He never surprises us.
00:36:04He's wrestling
00:36:04his most dangerous man.
00:36:05Yes,
00:36:05he is.
00:36:07Back in the corner now
00:36:08and you know,
00:36:11I don't want to take away
00:36:12anything from these
00:36:13two great athletes,
00:36:14but a lot has to be said
00:36:15about Rick Martell's ability
00:36:16and what he did last Monday
00:36:18when Saturn threw him
00:36:19right through
00:36:20a plate glass window
00:36:21and Martell still came out
00:36:23and won the match.
00:36:25I tell you,
00:36:25Martell,
00:36:25very lucky man.
00:36:27That glass shattered.
00:36:28He came very close
00:36:30to having glass in his eyes
00:36:32and that was a very,
00:36:34very lucky break
00:36:34for Martell.
00:36:35He's very lucky.
00:36:36Yeah,
00:36:37but that,
00:36:37you know,
00:36:37you know,
00:36:37Brain,
00:36:38it shows how determined
00:36:39how vicious Saturn
00:36:40and Raven's flock
00:36:41really is.
00:36:42Oh,
00:36:42they'll do anything.
00:36:43There's no doubt about that.
00:36:43Look at them.
00:36:44They don't care about their bodies.
00:36:45They don't care about their clothes.
00:36:47They don't care about anything.
00:36:48They just care about winning
00:36:49and obviously,
00:36:51here's a cover by Booker T.
00:36:53Got a two count.
00:36:54You can't be in the flock
00:36:55unless you have moths.
00:36:56One would think
00:36:57that may be correct.
00:36:58Everything that wears
00:36:59has got holes in them.
00:37:01A vertical base by Booker T.
00:37:03Booker T has certainly grown
00:37:05as a singles competitor
00:37:06and you can see the confidence.
00:37:08They're certainly very confident
00:37:09when his brother Stevie Ray
00:37:10is out there with him,
00:37:11but now firmly entrenched
00:37:12in singles competition,
00:37:14the TV champ looking crisp here
00:37:16and he sends the man down.
00:37:17And Booker T,
00:37:19all the training endures.
00:37:20This man just also blessed genetically.
00:37:24I mean,
00:37:24he is just a natural athlete.
00:37:27Look at it right there.
00:37:27Could have that right leg up
00:37:29a little more forward,
00:37:30get more pressure over the shoulder,
00:37:32but just takes a few years
00:37:34to polish up those diamonds.
00:37:36Saturn's at a disadvantage here
00:37:37because first of all,
00:37:39he's got to beat Booker T.
00:37:40Booker T doesn't have to beat him
00:37:42to win anything.
00:37:43So he's got to reach down
00:37:44extra far to beat this man.
00:37:46You always have the advantage
00:37:48of a back kick that time.
00:37:50You always have the advantage
00:37:51when you are the champ,
00:37:53but even more so
00:37:54when you're the television champ
00:37:55because of the shorter time limits
00:37:57and the time constrictions
00:37:59within televised matchups.
00:38:01Certainly,
00:38:02that is not stopping Booker T
00:38:04from taking the offense,
00:38:05though,
00:38:05to the challenger here, Brain.
00:38:07Did you see the way
00:38:08he stumbled backwards,
00:38:09fell through the ropes,
00:38:09fell on the floor,
00:38:10barely got up?
00:38:12That's the way Orko
00:38:13is going to be leaving Chattanooga.
00:38:14Could have been the way
00:38:16he got there.
00:38:17Go to the head once again
00:38:19and Stepmare takeover
00:38:21and knocks the leg down.
00:38:24And look at the front row.
00:38:26The flock sit there,
00:38:28eyes focused in the ring,
00:38:30no expression.
00:38:31You know,
00:38:31they've been awfully calm
00:38:32and I wonder if it's
00:38:33the cause of the fines
00:38:34and suspension threatened
00:38:35by WCW.
00:38:37I just think they're
00:38:38in outer space.
00:38:39Could be right.
00:38:40Standing switch,
00:38:41full Nelson applied,
00:38:42Saturn's going to,
00:38:43well,
00:38:44maybe try the full Nelson slam,
00:38:45but he picked him up
00:38:47and Saturn's showing
00:38:49his balance
00:38:50and power
00:38:51and covers
00:38:52and two
00:38:52and almost
00:38:53became the TV champ.
00:38:55Booker T looks
00:38:56determined.
00:38:57I want to tell you,
00:38:58Saturn's got some
00:38:59great mat techniques.
00:39:00I mean,
00:39:01background in judo
00:39:02and sort of things.
00:39:03Saturn,
00:39:03I mean,
00:39:03he knows what he's doing
00:39:04on that mat,
00:39:05not the athlete
00:39:06that Booker T is
00:39:08and certainly doesn't
00:39:09have the agility,
00:39:10but if Saturn gets you
00:39:11down on the mat,
00:39:12he knows how to tie you
00:39:13up down there.
00:39:15Man was an army ranger,
00:39:16jumped out of a plane
00:39:17like 115 times.
00:39:19Let's not forget
00:39:20those hands and wrists
00:39:21are taped
00:39:21and that makes those
00:39:22forearm blows
00:39:23even harder
00:39:23and Booker T rolls him up
00:39:25and almost came away
00:39:26with a win
00:39:26out of that offensive flurry.
00:39:28Booker T came up,
00:39:29looked like maybe
00:39:29he was trying to measure
00:39:31him for a Harlem sidekick,
00:39:32but it was Saturn
00:39:33who leveled him
00:39:34with Hillary at that time.
00:39:36He can wrestle.
00:39:37Can he ever?
00:39:38Cover,
00:39:39no.
00:39:40I just don't mean
00:39:41he can get in that ring
00:39:42and move around.
00:39:42He can wrestle.
00:39:43He can get you on the mat.
00:39:44He can beat you
00:39:45with submission holes.
00:39:49And he stomps the man
00:39:50right in the rib cage
00:39:51as well.
00:39:52That rib is a good place
00:39:53to kick somebody
00:39:54because there's no
00:39:54muscle tissue around there.
00:39:56So that's why
00:39:57a lot of guys
00:39:57always aim for the rib.
00:39:58They get you right
00:39:59in the bone.
00:40:00I liked it between the eyes.
00:40:01You like to get hit
00:40:02between the eyes?
00:40:03No, I like to kick a guy
00:40:04between the eyes.
00:40:04I'm sure you did.
00:40:05You like to get hit
00:40:05between the eyes?
00:40:06No, thank you.
00:40:07Why would I like to get
00:40:07between the eyes?
00:40:08Well, you're different.
00:40:09Get him off!
00:40:10What are you looking at?
00:40:14Give him a kick
00:40:14between the eyes?
00:40:15Forget it, please.
00:40:16Wait till we're done.
00:40:18And Saturn to the attack.
00:40:19Again, head first
00:40:20to a turnbuckle pad
00:40:21one more time.
00:40:22Saturn looks like
00:40:24that Booker T's
00:40:24in trouble here, guys.
00:40:25He's very wobbly.
00:40:28Well...
00:40:28He blocked that one.
00:40:29Yeah, proving me wrong.
00:40:30He blocked it
00:40:31and maybe playing
00:40:32past him a little bit here.
00:40:33Sheer power.
00:40:34He took him over.
00:40:35A lot of endurance
00:40:36here in the corner
00:40:37of Booker T.
00:40:38I mean, it's just
00:40:39a great physical shape.
00:40:41It only takes a few seconds
00:40:42to get that oxygen back.
00:40:44When it's knocked out,
00:40:45roll him up.
00:40:46Two?
00:40:46No, didn't get it.
00:40:47But came very, very close.
00:40:49And a running lariat
00:40:50once again.
00:40:51See, now there's an example.
00:40:52Saturn had an opportunity.
00:40:54Covers him.
00:40:55Tried to beat Booker T
00:40:56with a wrestling hold
00:40:57on the mat.
00:40:58Small package inside cradle.
00:41:00The guy knows how to wrestle.
00:41:01But you know,
00:41:01you always think, though,
00:41:02when he is there,
00:41:03just as we saw Raven earlier,
00:41:05that there's a plan.
00:41:06He does not walk alone.
00:41:07He is in here armed
00:41:09with his comrades,
00:41:11members of the flock.
00:41:13Although they've been
00:41:14very mysterious tonight,
00:41:15we've seen him more than once
00:41:17come in to help their men out.
00:41:19But they also realize
00:41:20if they come in here, guys,
00:41:22a disqualification
00:41:23would not give Saturn
00:41:24the TV belt.
00:41:26And he got almost
00:41:27a three count that time.
00:41:28Well, you talk about
00:41:28them walking alone.
00:41:29You know, DDP walks alone.
00:41:31But no one here at WCW
00:41:33should walk alone
00:41:34as long as the NWO's around.
00:41:35And I think we're seeing
00:41:36more and more of that.
00:41:37Here's the roll-up.
00:41:38One, two.
00:41:39You heard it really
00:41:40from Lex Luger
00:41:40from Diamond Dallas Page.
00:41:42You've seen it from Luger
00:41:43and Sting at the end
00:41:45of Sold Out.
00:41:46You know the concern
00:41:47among the athletes
00:41:48runs deep about the Giant
00:41:50and his injury.
00:41:52And how severe that is.
00:41:53One, two.
00:41:55For many reasons.
00:41:56One, because we don't know
00:41:57how severe it is.
00:41:58And number two,
00:41:59because we know
00:42:00how many mega-athletes
00:42:01have ended their careers
00:42:03with severe neck injuries
00:42:05like, you know,
00:42:06Reggie Brown of the Detroit Lions,
00:42:07Daryl Stingley of the Patriots,
00:42:09Dennis Bird of the Jets.
00:42:11And there down goes
00:42:12Saturn once again.
00:42:13He may have a bad neck.
00:42:15Booker nailed him.
00:42:15No, he moved out of the way.
00:42:17Look at Booker.
00:42:17Just defy gravity
00:42:19and a rise.
00:42:20Oh!
00:42:21Connects to the Harlem sidekick.
00:42:24And takes the head off Saturn.
00:42:25The fans erupt here
00:42:27at Fort Wayne.
00:42:28And now the scissor kick
00:42:29from the back.
00:42:31Oh!
00:42:32Gonna raise the rope.
00:42:34Boy, has he come a long way
00:42:36in singles competition.
00:42:37He looks great.
00:42:39Picks him up,
00:42:40puts him down.
00:42:42Oh!
00:42:44Oh, there goes Hammer.
00:42:46Didn't take him long,
00:42:47did it?
00:42:47Hammer up top.
00:42:49Hammer nails him.
00:42:50There's the disqualification.
00:42:52Charles Robinson calling with a bell.
00:42:53And here comes the flock.
00:42:55Weren't they banned
00:42:56from ringside
00:42:57because of this?
00:42:58Yes.
00:42:59But they bought a ticket.
00:43:00That doesn't mean
00:43:01they can do this.
00:43:01Of course not.
00:43:03But it's the flock.
00:43:04How do I know
00:43:04what to do with them?
00:43:05Ah.
00:43:06Booker T will retain
00:43:08the television bell
00:43:09thanks to disqualification.
00:43:11Riggs in there.
00:43:13Kidman, Loney,
00:43:15Sick Boy.
00:43:17Rick Martell has arrived.
00:43:19And there's only one guy.
00:43:22I wouldn't come by myself.
00:43:24And Martell's gonna
00:43:25take them all on.
00:43:26Out goes Riggs.
00:43:27Kidman gets shelved.
00:43:29Loney goes down.
00:43:30Sick Boy.
00:43:32Kidman again.
00:43:34He's fighting
00:43:35every one of them all.
00:43:36And Martell's
00:43:37cleaning house in there.
00:43:38Rick Martell
00:43:39has come to the end
00:43:41of Booker T.
00:43:42And now Martell
00:43:44eyeing the man
00:43:44who threw him
00:43:45through the plate glass window
00:43:47one week ago.
00:43:49Sander's not backing down.
00:43:54Stand off here.
00:43:56Smart move.
00:43:58Sander almost
00:43:58giving him a smile.
00:44:00There'll be another day.
00:44:01This is a no-win situation.
00:44:04Booker T retains
00:44:05the WCW television title.
00:44:08And well,
00:44:09Riggs gonna try
00:44:09to sneak in again
00:44:10but then felt better.
00:44:11I told you to kick
00:44:11that big man
00:44:12out of my business.
00:44:16Not only
00:44:16what happened last Monday
00:44:18or actually last Thursday
00:44:19on Thunder
00:44:20but what happened

00:44:23when Saturn
00:44:24attacked Rick Martell
00:44:26at the end
00:44:27of his TV title bout.
00:44:28Fans,

00:44:30the British Bulldog
00:44:31Davey Boy Smith
00:44:32makes his debut

00:44:34And we are back
00:44:41on Nitro.
00:44:42Here is the new
00:44:44WCW
00:44:45World's Cruiserweight
00:44:46title holder
00:44:47following his win
00:44:48over Rey Mysterio Jr.
00:44:50This is Chris Jericho.
00:44:52Now Mike,
00:44:53today watch your sports coat.
00:44:55If he starts whining
00:44:56and throwing a tenter
00:44:57for no apparent reason,
00:44:58hits the door.
00:45:00He may go at you.
00:45:01Well, we have to give
00:45:14the devil his due.
00:45:15Now a three-time
00:45:16WCW World's
00:45:17Cruiserweight champion
00:45:18and what's the story
00:45:20behind the Rey Mysterio
00:45:21Jr. shirt?
00:45:22Ladies and gentlemen,
00:45:24children of all ages,
00:45:27I am your new
00:45:29Cruiserweight champion,
00:45:30Lionheart Chris Jericho.
00:45:37He has been doing
00:45:37a lot of lying lately,
00:45:38hasn't he?
00:45:39Yes, you scored a victory
00:45:40over Rey Mysterio Jr.
00:45:41It sold out.
00:45:42But what about
00:45:42the post-match attack
00:45:44where you used
00:45:45that utility box
00:45:46at ringside
00:45:47on the knee
00:45:47of Rey Mysterio Jr.?
00:45:48I found that box
00:45:49under the ring, Mike.
00:45:50I'm going to use it
00:45:51to carry my Cruiserweight
00:45:52title belt in.
00:45:53You know,
00:45:54it's come to my attention
00:45:55that Rey Mysterio Jr.,
00:45:56he hurt his leg
00:45:57or something.
00:45:58A torn ACL,
00:45:59a torn meniscus,
00:46:00he's undergoing
00:46:01full-blown knee surgery
00:46:02this Wednesday.
00:46:03That hurts.
00:46:04That really hurts.
00:46:05You know,
00:46:05Rey Mysterio Jr.,
00:46:07you're one of my
00:46:07favorite competitors.
00:46:09I have a lot of
00:46:10respect for you.
00:46:11I'd like to dedicate
00:46:12this Cruiserweight belt
00:46:14to you.
00:46:16Well, actually,
00:46:16I'd like to dedicate it
00:46:17to myself first,
00:46:18to all my wonderful fans.
00:46:20Second,
00:46:20and Rey Mysterio,
00:46:21to you thirdly.
00:46:22As far as you hurting
00:46:24your leg,
00:46:25I hope that it never,
00:46:27ever happens again.
00:46:31You know,
00:46:31you'd never see me
00:46:32powerbombing someone
00:46:33on their head, Mike,
00:46:34today,
00:46:34and I certainly would
00:46:35never intentionally hurt
00:46:36Rey Mysterio Jr.
00:46:38I hope to wage
00:46:39many successful battles
00:46:41with this belt
00:46:41around my waist.
00:46:44And I'd like to dedicate
00:46:45this,
00:46:46I promised myself
00:46:48I wouldn't do this, Mike,
00:46:50to all the people
00:46:51who stuck with me
00:46:52through thin and thin,
00:46:53thick and thin,
00:46:53through black
00:46:56and through white.
00:46:58If it wasn't for you people,
00:47:00I wouldn't be here
00:47:01with this belt
00:47:02around my waist.
00:47:03I love you people.
00:47:10And Rey Mysterio Jr.,
00:47:12please keep us abreast
00:47:14of your progress
00:47:15because nobody wants
00:47:17to see you in the ring
00:47:18quicker and faster
00:47:20than I do.
00:47:21I'm wearing this shirt
00:47:23as a tribute to you
00:47:24and a tribute
00:47:26to all the Chris Jericho
00:47:27disciples around the world

00:47:31I stand before you,
00:47:33your hero,
00:47:34your role model,
00:47:37your champion.
00:47:38Thank you very much.
00:47:40It's sickening.
00:47:40Tony, take it away.
00:47:42Well said, Mike.
00:47:43Sickening is the word.
00:47:46He's our champion.
00:47:48He's our role model.
00:47:52Oh, well.
00:47:55Sickening is kind of
00:47:56in the theme here tonight
00:47:57on many levels,
00:47:57hasn't it, guys?

00:49:07It's great to see
00:49:08the British Bulldog,
00:49:10Davey Boyd Smith,
00:49:11one of the great
00:49:11power men
00:49:12in our sport,
00:49:14come in
00:49:14to WCW
00:49:16and challenge.
00:49:18He's got quite a task
00:49:19ahead of him.
00:49:20And Steve Mongo
00:49:21to McMichael.
00:49:21You've not seen it
00:49:22many times, Larry.
00:49:23Look at Mongo
00:49:23go at it.
00:49:24How in 1998,
00:49:25we're going to see
00:49:26more great athletes
00:49:26from around the world
00:49:27come here.
00:49:28And here's the evidence
00:49:29right here
00:49:30in the British Bulldog.
00:49:31Yeah, Davey Boyd Smith
00:49:32trying to make
00:49:33a successful debut
00:49:34on Nigel.
00:49:35Ran right into Mongo.
00:49:36Mongo,
00:49:37not cutting him
00:49:38any slack whatsoever.
00:49:39Good idea, Davey Boyd.
00:49:42He's much more experienced
00:49:44inside that ring.
00:49:46This isn't the gridiron.
00:49:47This is wrestling.
00:49:49And everybody knows
00:49:50that Bulldog
00:49:51has strong this man
00:49:52and the power he possesses.
00:49:53That was a good move
00:49:54by Mongo.
00:49:55Wait till he gets
00:49:55in the ring,
00:49:56steps through those ropes,
00:49:57nail him.
00:49:58Mongo is one
00:49:59determined individual
00:50:00and one intense man.
00:50:02And you're right
00:50:02about the difference
00:50:04in experience in the ring.
00:50:06But Mongo,
00:50:07what he likes
00:50:07in experience
00:50:08makes up for just
00:50:09determination
00:50:10and athletic ability.
00:50:12That's like some guys
00:50:13can play the human game
00:50:14with chess.
00:50:14Mongo just hits you
00:50:16over the head
00:50:16with the board.
00:50:18That's what he does.
00:50:18That's a good analogy
00:50:19there as he drops
00:50:20Davey Boyd Smith
00:50:21and showing an abundance
00:50:23of confidence.
00:50:24One thing you don't
00:50:24want to do
00:50:25is do a lot of talking
00:50:26and allow the British Bulldog
00:50:28back to his feet.
00:50:29Because he's a veteran.
00:50:30He knows what to do
00:50:30in that ring.
00:50:32Sending to the Bulldog
00:50:33and picks him up.
00:50:35Drives him down
00:50:35and Mongo once again
00:50:36with a great move.
00:50:37Steve McMichael
00:50:38hooks a near leg
00:50:39and gets a two count.
00:50:40Yeah, hooks the leg,
00:50:41doesn't lock his hands,
00:50:42doesn't cradle him up
00:50:43and that's giving Davey Boyd
00:50:44a break here.
00:50:45Again, Davey Boyd is seasoned.
00:50:47He'll try to wait
00:50:48for a mistake
00:50:49on the part of Mongo
00:50:50if he makes one
00:50:51but he got him
00:50:51right in the knee.
00:50:53There has been no offense
00:50:55out of the Bulldog.
00:50:56He's going to try
00:50:56to spike him right here.
00:50:58What a debut.
00:51:00But the Bulldog rebounds.
00:51:02He's up.
00:51:03He is.
00:51:03Look at that massive chest
00:51:04and arms
00:51:05on Davey Boyd Smith.
00:51:07Sending Steve McMichael
00:51:08into the back elbow.
00:51:09The more you get to know Mongo,
00:51:12the more you realize
00:51:13what an animal he is
00:51:15and hopefully the more Mongo
00:51:16wrestles,
00:51:17the more he'll realize
00:51:18you have to be more of a thinker
00:51:19than just an animal.
00:51:22Couldn't get him up
00:51:22the first time.
00:51:23He's going to try it again.
00:51:24Oh, look at this.
00:51:25That's real power.
00:51:28Covers one, two, McMichael.
00:51:30Got the left shoulder
00:51:31up in the nick of time.
00:51:32Well, the insurgents
00:51:35of great athletes,
00:51:35Jim the Anvil,
00:51:36Neidhart recently,
00:51:38the British Bulldog,
00:51:39Davey Boyd Smith.
00:51:40This is where the big boys play
00:51:41and it's getting even bigger
00:51:43each and every week.
00:51:45And some of the purses,
00:51:47I mean, you're talking about,
00:51:48you know, just as any sport
00:51:49went up,
00:51:50professional wrestlers
00:51:5130, 40 years ago,
00:51:53if you've made
00:51:53a couple hundred thousand dollars
00:51:55a year,
00:51:55it was a big year now.
00:51:57You're making millions
00:51:58and they're coming here
00:51:59from all over the globe.
00:52:02Because this is where
00:52:03the big boys play.
00:52:04Yes, it is.
00:52:04And the big boys get paid.
00:52:06We're going to see
00:52:06a real big boy,
00:52:07Kevin Nash,
00:52:08in a few moments.
00:52:08And of course,
00:52:09the biggest one right now.
00:52:11Thoughts and prayers
00:52:12are with the Giant.
00:52:14Hopefully, we can have
00:52:14an update on exactly
00:52:15what his injury is all about
00:52:17in the weeks to come.
00:52:18Davey Boyd,
00:52:19look at how he picks up
00:52:20Mongo with these
00:52:21and power slams him down.
00:52:23One, two, and three.
00:52:25He got him.
00:52:27Davey Boyd Smith
00:52:28with that running power slam
00:52:29of him, of his,
00:52:31gets a big win here
00:52:32on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:52:35Determination,
00:52:36perseverance,
00:52:37and power.
00:52:38Experience along
00:52:39with it all, Tony.
00:52:40Hard to beat a veteran
00:52:41who knows what he's doing.
00:52:43Well, fans,
00:52:44as we said before,
00:52:45January 31st,
00:52:46Boston, Massachusetts,
00:52:48has a big night
00:52:49coming to the Fleet Center.
00:52:51It's WCW action.
00:52:53And you can be a part of this.
00:52:54This mega card
00:52:55will not be televised anywhere.
00:52:58But fans,
00:52:58there is a way for you
00:52:59to follow all the action
00:53:00of January 31st
00:53:02in the Fleet Center
00:53:02by hooking in
00:53:03to WCWWrestling.com
00:53:05and being part
00:53:06of the big event.
00:53:08It's Pro Wrestling's
00:53:09first ever
00:53:10internet-exclusive
00:53:11pay-per-listen.
00:53:12It's Boston Brawl
00:53:13coming up
00:53:14on the 31st.
00:53:15Earlier in this program,
00:53:21we talked to Ray Traylor.
00:53:24The Traylor is up to the task
00:53:26to face Kevin Nash
00:53:28of the NWO,
00:53:30one half of the World
00:53:30Tag Team champs,
00:53:32one of the outsiders,
00:53:33one of the charter members
00:53:34of this group.
00:53:36And he's got his beverage
00:53:38with him again.
00:53:39Also one of the big egos
00:53:42of the New World Order
00:53:43right here.
00:53:44New World Order.
00:53:46That is hot.
00:53:47It's Joe DiMasio,
00:53:48a professional wrestler.
00:53:50You know,
00:53:50it's bad enough
00:53:52that he would
00:53:53attempt
00:53:57to injure the Giant
00:54:00and succeed.
00:54:01But to laugh
00:54:02in the face
00:54:03of the Giant's plight,
00:54:05of the Giant's injury,
00:54:06to make a mockery
00:54:07out of this man's career
00:54:09is beyond belief.
00:54:12New World Order.
00:54:13What is that,
00:54:14David?
00:54:17Spencer isn't stupid
00:54:18enough to give it back
00:54:19to him.
00:54:21Well,
00:54:22you know the damage
00:54:24this man here,
00:54:25Kevin Nash,
00:54:25did to the Giant.
00:54:27Ray Traylor better be ready.
00:54:29He can get powerbombed.
00:54:30This guy can powerbomb
00:54:31a triple-wide trailer.
00:54:32That is outlawed.
00:54:36I know,
00:54:36but you think that means
00:54:37anything to him
00:54:38or the NWO?
00:54:39But we're going to see,
00:54:40aren't we?
00:54:47Ray Traylor,
00:54:48formerly of the New World Order,
00:54:50now part of WCW.
00:54:52This is WCW Country,

00:55:19than a low blow.
00:55:23Ooh.
00:55:26Uh-oh.
00:55:28Well, let's see
00:55:29what's going to happen here.
00:55:30Oh, it looks like
00:55:31he's daring the fines.
00:55:35That's it.
00:55:37Referee's disqualified him.
00:55:38Ray Traylor will win it,
00:55:39but do you think he cares?
00:55:41Just laughing in the face
00:55:42of authority,
00:55:43and it's going to backfire
00:55:44on you someday.
00:55:45And he says the fines
00:55:46going to be big,
00:55:47real big.
00:55:48Let's see what this
00:55:49is all about now.
00:55:53I'll tell you
00:55:54what it's all about.
00:55:54We've got referees
00:55:55coming out,
00:55:56and what they're doing here,
00:55:58we've got our, uh,
00:55:59our trainer coming out,
00:56:01and they are just
00:56:02checking over Traylor here.
00:56:05That's the best thing
00:56:06to do is just leave
00:56:07the man alone
00:56:08and check on Ray Traylor.
00:56:10This is, this is, uh...
00:56:12Oh, yeah!
00:56:16Look at this,
00:56:17if you will!
00:56:19Nash is on his way
00:56:20to the sneezer.
00:56:22Kevin Nash is being cucked.
00:56:24Hey, get this on tape!
00:56:25I got a case!
00:56:26It's like James J. Dillon said.
00:56:27Get this on tape!
00:56:32And it cuck!
00:56:33And it cuck!
00:56:35And it cuck!
00:56:35And it cuck!
00:56:36And it cuck!
00:56:36And it cuck!
00:56:37And it cuck!
00:56:38Well, I'll tell you
00:56:38what, you know
00:56:39the way the court systems are.
00:56:41He'll be out on bail
00:56:42before the police
00:56:43finish the paper award!
00:56:44Yeah, but that's not
00:56:45the point here.
00:56:46The point here
00:56:46is that James J. Dillon
00:56:47is showing
00:56:49the world
00:56:52that he means business.
00:56:54Keep on going.
00:56:56We hope never
00:56:57to see you again, fella.
00:57:01Good for WCW,
00:57:02but in the ring,
00:57:03it looks like
00:57:04we may have,
00:57:05well, Ted DiBiase's
00:57:07arrived as well.
00:57:08We may have
00:57:10our second straight
00:57:11injury at the hands
00:57:12of Kevin Nash.
00:57:14It was about a year ago
00:57:15and didn't Traylor
00:57:16have a back injury
00:57:17or a back operation?
00:57:18He's been hurt before.
00:57:19And the jackknife
00:57:20powerbomb
00:57:21takes down another one.

00:58:20Well,
00:58:22Larry Javisco,
00:58:23Matt Hall
00:58:24makes his way out.
00:58:25Certainly,
00:58:26if you talk about
00:58:27a man who
00:58:27you have gone
00:58:29round and around with
00:58:30and a man that
00:58:31you dislike,
00:58:32hate him.
00:58:33I tell you,
00:58:34I hate his guts
00:58:35and believe it was
00:58:36a thrill of a lifetime
00:58:37when I outsmarted him
00:58:39and stuck his neck
00:58:40in my arms
00:58:41and stretched him.
00:58:43Of course,
00:58:43we'll talk about
00:58:44the sad news
00:58:46of sold out later,
00:58:48but Scott Hall
00:58:50is beatable.
00:58:51That is sad news,
00:58:53and you know what?
00:58:53It amazes me
00:58:55that when you see
00:58:56what happened
00:58:57to the Giants,
00:58:59when you see
00:59:00what they are literally
00:59:01trying to do to people,
00:59:02and then you still see
00:59:03these meatheads
00:59:04in the audience
00:59:05holding up
00:59:06NWO signs.
00:59:08What's the world
00:59:09coming to?
00:59:10Hey, yo.
00:59:11I know you people
00:59:17can't get enough
00:59:18of me talking,
00:59:20so I came out here
00:59:22to give you
00:59:22a little more.
00:59:24Now, we already
00:59:26established
00:59:26that Fort Wayne
00:59:29is NWO country.
00:59:31And for everybody
00:59:39who saw
00:59:40Sold Out Saturday,
00:59:42you saw me
00:59:43expose
00:59:45Larry Zbysko.
00:59:48Oh, my.
00:59:53Larry,
00:59:54you must have felt
00:59:56like a pervert
00:59:59in a raincoat
01:00:01at a peep show
01:00:03because
01:00:04you were exposed,
01:00:06Larry.
01:00:07You got
01:00:08zero
01:00:10wrestling
01:00:11talent.
01:00:13So why don't you
01:00:14wander off
01:00:16to the tar pit
01:00:18with the rest
01:00:19of the dinosaurs,
01:00:21okay?
01:00:21How about if I wander
01:00:22over to you?
01:00:24Oh, Larry,
01:00:24where you going?
01:00:27Fans,
01:00:27we've got to
01:00:28take a commercial break.
01:00:30The Living Legend
01:00:30being stopped
01:00:31by security
01:00:32will be back
01:00:33and Luthor
01:00:33will come out here
01:00:34and Nitro
01:00:35continues after this.
01:00:43We are back.
01:00:44We need to report
01:00:44to you that
01:00:45the Living Legend
01:00:46Larry Zbysko
01:00:46has been escorted
01:00:47out of the
01:00:48Coliseum here
01:00:49in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
01:00:52Yeah, that's
01:00:54travesty of justice
01:00:55what that is.
01:00:57Nevertheless,
01:00:58Lex Luger's
01:00:58going to come
01:00:59to the ring.
01:00:59He's here!
01:01:00You're not kidding,
01:01:01he's here
01:01:01and he will collide
01:01:02with Scott Hall.
01:01:04I mean,
01:01:05can you blame
01:01:07Zbysko
01:01:07for what he did?
01:01:08A man can only
01:01:09take so much.
01:01:09You're exactly right,
01:01:10Brain.
01:01:11You know,
01:01:12I've always said that.
01:01:13And I understand.
01:01:16I understand
01:01:17where WCW
01:01:19is coming from
01:01:20and the authority
01:01:21of J.J. Dillon
01:01:22and trying to
01:01:24curtail
01:01:25what's been going
01:01:26on,
01:01:26but there's a time.
01:01:29Well,
01:01:29if you don't
01:01:29stop it now,
01:01:30you're not going to
01:01:30stop it.
01:01:30Well,
01:01:31you're right,
01:01:31but there's time
01:01:32to get even
01:01:32and that time
01:01:33is in the persona
01:01:34of Lex Luger
01:01:35right now
01:01:35in this matchup.
01:01:37Luger and Scott Hall
01:01:38to go one-on-one
01:01:39in our feature bout.
01:01:43What is going
01:01:44to happen here?
01:01:46I hope to see
01:01:46Mr. Hall
01:01:47across the shoulders
01:01:48of Lex Luger.
01:01:49The Torture Rat.
01:01:50That's the one
01:01:50they don't escape from.
01:01:52Luger
01:01:52taking his time now
01:01:53going around the ring.
01:01:55He's being very cautious,
01:01:56very deliberate
01:01:57as he gets in the ring.
01:01:59I don't know.
01:02:01Luger certainly
01:02:02took his time
01:02:02getting in the ring
01:02:03and now he gets
01:02:04in the ring
01:02:05and he pays for it.
01:02:07A jump start.
01:02:07I was Luger.
01:02:07I would have gone up
01:02:08the steps
01:02:08and taken my time
01:02:09getting in.
01:02:09He went through
01:02:10and tucked his head,
01:02:11gave Scott Hall
01:02:12a big opening.
01:02:13I tell you,
01:02:13Luger, though,
01:02:14finding all adrenaline
01:02:15right now,
01:02:15and I mean,
01:02:16he's rocking the head
01:02:17of Scott Hall here.
01:02:20Lex Luger
01:02:20pounding the abdomen,
01:02:23stomping away.
01:02:27And Luger,
01:02:28who has been leading
01:02:29the fight for WCW,
01:02:31trying to lead in here
01:02:32in this feature bout.
01:02:35Scott Hall.
01:02:36Oh!
01:02:38Almost punched Luger
01:02:39right over the top rope.
01:02:40And another kick
01:02:41going for the ribs.
01:02:42Remember now,
01:02:43pretty good strategy here
01:02:45if you think about it.
01:02:46Waking the ribs.
01:02:48He can't pick you up.
01:02:50No ribs.
01:02:51Very hard to get you
01:02:52up in that torture rack.
01:02:53Chest muscles, ribs.
01:02:54And Scott Hall is what,
01:02:55280?
01:02:56He's a big guy.
01:02:57Big, powerful.
01:02:58But don't forget,
01:02:59look how tall he is.
01:03:00Luger can get up
01:03:00under him easy
01:03:01from the back.
01:03:03Fans,
01:03:03if you joined us
01:03:04for Sold Out,
01:03:05you know that Scott Hall
01:03:06not only had that match
01:03:07against Larry Zabisco,
01:03:08but did not take
01:03:10too kindly to the fact
01:03:11that even though
01:03:12he won World War III
01:03:13will not get a title shot
01:03:15because as Rowdy Piper said,
01:03:17hey, you won it,
01:03:18you deserved it,
01:03:18but there's no world champion
01:03:20for you to get
01:03:20your title shot.
01:03:22And thus,
01:03:22as decreed by Piper
01:03:25along with the executive
01:03:26committee and James J. Dillon,
01:03:27it will be
01:03:28Hogan and Sting.
01:03:30Hollywood Hogan and Sting
01:03:31for the world title
01:03:32on February 22nd.
01:03:33Scott Hall was very angry
01:03:34about that.
01:03:35He walked away
01:03:36from Hollywood Hogan.
01:03:37Well, don't forget,
01:03:38Hall won World War III
01:03:39and he thinks
01:03:40he should have
01:03:40that title shot
01:03:41and he does deserve it,
01:03:42like him or not.
01:03:44He feels like
01:03:45he was scammed.
01:03:45Yeah, listen,
01:03:46a member of the NWO
01:03:47deserves nothing,
01:03:49zero.
01:03:49I've always felt that way.
01:03:51Thank you very much.
01:03:52One, two, three,
01:03:52four, five, six,
01:03:54and Lex Luger
01:03:55has Scott Hall
01:03:57in trouble here.
01:04:01Scott Hall
01:04:01goes right down
01:04:03to a corner.
01:04:05Randy Anderson
01:04:05checking in.
01:04:06He may...
01:04:07Looks like a raven.
01:04:08He may...
01:04:08He sure does.
01:04:09He may be on the edge
01:04:10of being out
01:04:11to the eyes.
01:04:13Scott Hall,
01:04:14Luger,
01:04:15rebounds.
01:04:16Hall in.
01:04:17He...
01:04:17Oh, slams him down!
01:04:19It's...
01:04:20You know what that means?
01:04:21You know what that means?
01:04:22Yes, and the fans do also.
01:04:24Torture City.
01:04:26He's signaling
01:04:27to the rack, Tony.
01:04:31Here comes!
01:04:32He's got him racked.
01:04:34He's got him racked.
01:04:36Good.
01:04:38Randy...
01:04:39Oh!
01:04:40Randy Savage
01:04:40has come in,
01:04:42and Randy Savage
01:04:43is going after Luger.
01:04:44Who does he want?
01:04:45That's how he wants.
01:04:46He wants Luger.
01:04:47He said he can take care
01:04:48of Luger.
01:04:49He wants him again
01:04:49and do it by himself.
01:04:51Randy Anderson
01:04:52referee throws
01:04:53the chair away
01:04:54and almost gets stomped.
01:04:57And Savage
01:04:58is going to grab
01:04:59Scott Hall,
01:05:00and Scott Hall
01:05:01can barely get up
01:05:02and shovel him
01:05:02on the outside.
01:05:05Here's the nut.
01:05:06Well, he's not gonna forget
01:05:07what happened
01:05:08and slow it up.
01:05:08A man possessed.
01:05:10He was in the crutches
01:05:11of the torture rack,
01:05:12and he blamed
01:05:13the entire New World Order
01:05:15for not backing him up.
01:05:17He's gonna go up top
01:05:18and try to end it right now.
01:05:20He's gonna do it again.
01:05:21Who can stop?
01:05:25The second time,
01:05:26he's gone up.
01:05:27This crazy man.
01:05:29The world's most dangerous
01:05:30wrestler right there.
01:05:32I tell you who can stop him.
01:05:34Sting!
01:05:34From the ceiling!
01:05:38Oh!
01:05:39I've never seen anything
01:05:43like this
01:05:44in my life
01:05:45only here
01:05:46at WCW
01:05:47and Nigel.
01:05:48Oh!
01:05:49Sting!
01:05:50With a Stinger's face
01:05:50in the corner.
01:05:52Look at the intensity
01:05:53of Sting!
01:05:54A drop kick
01:05:55from the ceiling.
01:05:56Think of that.
01:05:57Sting
01:05:58means business.
01:05:59He's gonna put him in.
01:06:00The Scorpion Deadline.
01:06:02Oh, yeah!
01:06:03And look at this!
01:06:05Hogan
01:06:06and Scott Hall!
01:06:08Not helping.
01:06:09Not helping Savage one bit.
01:06:11They're not making a move.
01:06:12They're taunting
01:06:13Randy Savage.
01:06:15They're pointing
01:06:15and Randy Savage.
01:06:17He is the end
01:06:18of him in the NWO.
01:06:22I never thought
01:06:23I would ever see this
01:06:24amongst members
01:06:25of the NWO.
01:06:26Sting drops
01:06:27the Scorpion Deathlock.
01:06:29But you know
01:06:30Sting wants Hogan.
01:06:31Of course he does.
01:06:32Sting wants Hogan.
01:06:35And he's gonna get him
01:06:36on February 22nd
01:06:38when we will finally decide
01:06:39the World Championship.
01:06:42Yeah, you got a belt, Hogan,
01:06:43but there's no gold on him.
01:06:44Here's your name.
01:06:45He wants him now.
01:06:47Savage cannot move.
01:06:50And there was no effort.
01:06:52Hogan
01:06:52and Hall
01:06:53came out
01:06:54to taunt him
01:06:56and no one else
01:06:57from the NWO
