00:00:00Still to come, the world TV champ, Booker T, and a whole lot more.
00:00:08Nitro continues from Sacramento, state capital of this great state of California.
00:00:14It's opened its arms to WCW World Championship wrestling last night with Super Brawl,
00:00:20and of course tonight with WCW Monday Nitro, our second visit here to the Arco Arena for WCW Monday Nitro here just about a year ago.
00:00:28And returning one more time.
00:00:31First time, our next big pay-per-view is Uncensored.
00:00:34We were talking about Hogan makes a challenge to Macho Band for the cage match,
00:00:38and Randy Savage all too ready to agree to it.
00:00:41Well, the event will be held on Sunday, March 15th in Mobile, Alabama at the Civic Center.
00:00:46Tickets for Uncensored for you fans in Mobile down along the Gulf Coast,
00:00:50available at the Civic Center box office in all Ticketmaster locations.
00:00:54Here comes the man we talked about earlier in the telecast, deserving of being named champion, Booker T.
00:01:02And you know, sometimes you're a part, as you said, Brain, of historic events.
00:01:08And I was very proud to be part of what I think was in a historic event last night,
00:01:13not only because they wrestled back to back,
00:01:16but because I think it was the making of a legitimate superstar in our sport in Booker T.
00:01:22Well, I have to agree with you about that.
00:01:23He didn't have any flaws.
00:01:26Any flaws I could tell or I could see.
00:01:28He went out there and he fought two tough matches,
00:01:31and he earned the respect of the wrestlers in this sport.
00:01:33Certainly was a breakthrough night at Super Brawl for Booker T.
00:01:37And I think one of the highlights, really, of that encore presentation,
00:01:41available tomorrow on pay-per-view of Super Brawl,
00:01:44the physically demanding two back-to-back victories for Booker T.
00:01:49Unprecedented in our sport,
00:01:51first defeating Rick Martell to win the World's TV title,
00:01:54then immediately over Saturn to retain,
00:01:56and now he goes head-to-head the next night
00:01:58with a former World's TV champion in the Renegade.
00:02:02I was just thinking about that, Mike,
00:02:03to knock off Rick Martell, the man of his class and style,
00:02:06and a man with the ability of Saturn
00:02:08to beat them both back-to-back the same night.
00:02:11You're going to take your head off to the guy.
00:02:12Oh, you're not kidding.
00:02:13Back to the corner they go,
00:02:14and now back to the neutral corner
00:02:16as Charles Robinson, the referee, checks in.
00:02:20And Renegade wasting no time.
00:02:22Renegade, as Mike said,
00:02:23knows exactly what it's like to wear the gold
00:02:25and be called TV champion.
00:02:27And this TV title match could put him back
00:02:29in the winner's circle again.
00:02:30Down low goes Booker T.
00:02:32Renegade threw the legs on that one.
00:02:34Spin will kick nicely done.
00:02:38The man is very fluid, isn't he, Booker T.
00:02:41And Booker T, you're right, just effortless.
00:02:44And especially in making the transition
00:02:46from the tag team world to the singles competition
00:02:48to Count and Renegade rolls the shoulder.
00:02:50I mean, that's what amazes me the most
00:02:52that he adapted to singles wrestling this quickly.
00:02:55Instantly.
00:02:57Well, I've said it before,
00:02:59and it bears repeating again.
00:03:01They are first great singles wrestlers,
00:03:03and then they're great tag team wrestlers.
00:03:05They all start out one-on-one singles competition.
00:03:09Once you go through that,
00:03:11you can move into tag team,
00:03:12and that's where many make their name.
00:03:14The Steiners, Harlem Heat,
00:03:16brother combinations,
00:03:18and certainly the Steiners.
00:03:19That move, he calls the 110th Street Slam.
00:03:22One, two.
00:03:24He got the two-
00:03:25Surprise, he got up.
00:03:28Steiners and Harlem Heat have taken different roads
00:03:31to break up the tag teams.
00:03:33I really don't think because of Booker T's success
00:03:35that Harlem Heat has been broken up
00:03:37by any stretch of the imagination,
00:03:39but the Renegade with a great move,
00:03:41hanging the man up on the top rope that time.
00:03:43I thought he was going to shoot him out like an arrow.
00:03:48That may have been his intent that time,
00:03:50and there's another chokehold.
00:03:52So obviously what he's trying to do,
00:03:53knowing about the conditioning of Booker T,
00:03:55he's trying to take the wind supply away here.
00:03:58Chokeholds across the throat again here, Mike.
00:03:59Well, remember that Booker T competed last night
00:04:02in, what was it, nearly 30 minutes of competition?
00:04:05Over 30 minutes.
00:04:06Those two matches back-to-back?
00:04:08So really, if you're looking at the Renegade's position,
00:04:11it's a great opportunity for him to face Booker T
00:04:14so quickly after that Super Bowl match,
00:04:16and there's the backbreaker.
00:04:18This manhandling Booker T into a backbreaker,
00:04:21showing his power is Renegade.
00:04:23Fans do not forget, stay right where you are.
00:04:26Sting, the world champion, Sting, let me repeat that.
00:04:29The new world champion.
00:04:30The new world, the man who beat Hulk Hogan last night.
00:04:33Say that again.
00:04:33The man who beat Hulk Hogan last night
00:04:35will be coming out here later on,
00:04:37defending the belt against Scott Hall of the NWO.
00:04:40Say it again.
00:04:41Testify, Tony.
00:04:42The new world champion, Sting,
00:04:43the man who defeated Hollywood Hogan,
00:04:45the man who brought the gold back to WCW,
00:04:48where it belongs.
00:04:50This is living proof, Tony.
00:04:51You'll do anything I tell you.
00:04:53Up to the top turnbuckle goes Renegade,
00:04:56and Booker T holding on to that top rope,
00:05:00as you can see,
00:05:01to try to regain his balance, and he does.
00:05:03And now forearm shivers,
00:05:05rocks the head of the Renegade,
00:05:07and sends him now off of the middle turnbuckle.
00:05:09Booker T up top.
00:05:10Look at this.
00:05:11Renegade trying to get back.
00:05:13Oh!
00:05:13And a great missile dropkick.
00:05:14That was right in the face.
00:05:16I don't doubt that he could have landed on the turnbuckle across the ring.
00:05:20He was so high up in the air.
00:05:22One, two.
00:05:23Many of his primary moves,
00:05:25like the Harlem Hangover.
00:05:28Certainly with scissor kick with great leg strength
00:05:31to be able to execute those moves.
00:05:33Hits the ropes.
00:05:34Well, just as we were talking about it,
00:05:36the scissor kick in the back of the head.
00:05:39Booker T, lateral press again,
00:05:40pinning combination,
00:05:41and he gets a two count.
00:05:42Hey, Renegade's been close to being beaten here on a few occasions.
00:05:45He's showing me he's a pretty tough customer now.
00:05:47Renegade hanging in there despite the offense running Lariat in the corner.
00:05:52Uh-oh.
00:05:56Now he goes to raise the roof,
00:05:58but Renegade has another plan in mind.
00:05:59It's a handspring.
00:06:01He missed that one right over the top of his head,
00:06:03but Renegade, as he's falling back to the corner,
00:06:06hit the back of his head on that middle turnbuckle.
00:06:08Little misdirection play, Harlem sidekick, cover, one, two, three.
00:06:14Yeah.
00:06:16With the Harlem sidekick, that just part of his arsenal,
00:06:20the world television champ, Booker T,
00:06:23keeps in the winner's column once again.
00:06:26Done.
00:06:29Next on WCW Monday Nitro, Conan of the NWO,
00:06:33still to come, Sting, the world champion Sting
00:06:37against Scott Hall of the NWO, all live on Nitro.
00:06:45NWO.
00:06:47Now, NWO music hits once again, and they'll be coming out here, I'm sure.
00:06:52Conan's getting the next matchup before the next match gets underway.
00:06:55In the month of March, here's where WCW is coming your way.
00:06:59Friday, March 6th, WCW comes to Pittsburgh in the AJ Palumbo Center.
00:07:03Tickets at the box office and all usual outlets.
00:07:06Saturday, March 7th, the Civic Center Coliseum in West Virginia.
00:07:10WCW on a Saturday night, tickets to the box office and Ticketmaster.
00:07:14Sunday, March 8th will be in Jackson City, Tennessee, and Freedom Hall.
00:07:18Tickets to the box office and all usual outlets.
00:07:20Later on in the month of March, these big monster events.
00:07:24On Wednesday, March 25th, we return to Baltimore.
00:07:27At the Baltimore Arena, tickets to the box office and Ticketmaster.
00:07:31Saturday, March 28th at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
00:07:35A big WCW event on March 28th.
00:07:38Tickets at the box office and Ticketmaster.
00:07:40And Saturday, March 29th, we're going to be back in the auditorium in Milwaukee.
00:07:44Tickets available at the box office and Ticketmaster.
00:07:46That is a Saturday night in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
00:07:50And WCW has been the hot ticket around the world, Mike.
00:07:54Everywhere we go, Tony, capacity crowd last night in San Francisco at the Cow Palace.
00:07:59Same thing this evening at the Arthur Arena, the home of the NBA Sacramento Kings.
00:08:04And as we said, we have a big event in Louisville.
00:08:07Don't forget, once again, our fans in Louisville, Kentucky.
00:08:09Monday, March 23rd, Nitro at Freedom Hall.
00:08:12Tickets will go on sale this Saturday morning.
00:08:14That's just Saturday, February 28th.
00:08:17Beginning at 10 a.m. at the box office and Ticketmaster.
00:08:19Jimmy Hart will be at Freedom Hall this Saturday when tickets go on sale.
00:08:22All right, Liz Mark Jr. and Conan, who know each other quite well, Mike.
00:08:25Well, they certainly do, both from south of the border.
00:08:27Conan representing NWO Mexico against the second generation luchador Liz Mark Jr.
00:08:33And Liz Mark, his father credited with perfecting the plancha, the flying cross body block.
00:08:39He hails from Acapulco, where both he and his father were cliff divers.
00:08:44So they certainly come by that high flying very naturally.
00:08:48Got a two count.
00:08:49Liz Mark rolls through on Conan.
00:08:50This would be a big win for Liz Mark, and another black eye for the NWO.
00:08:55If Liz Mark could come up with the upset here.
00:08:57But Conan is very impressive, very relentless.
00:09:00Shut up!
00:09:01And I would think you combine that with what's been going on in the NWO
00:09:05over the past couple of weeks with the Macho Man Randy Savage,
00:09:08with Sting winning the gold belt like he did last night.
00:09:11They don't need any more problems than they already have.
00:09:13What appears to me is Hogan's asked for some problems.
00:09:17If you ask for a cage match, and you ask for it at Uncensored,
00:09:21and you ask for it with the world's most dangerous wrestler, Macho Man Randy Savage,
00:09:25Hogan took one to the Bells last night, huh?
00:09:27Well, he asked for it last night, when he walked out and left Savage out to dry,
00:09:33and that no disqualification match against Luger, and it came back to haunt him.
00:09:36And you can see the encore presentation beginning tomorrow night.
00:09:44Oh, to the midsection.
00:09:47Side headlock applied here, and great leg trip, great counter move that time.
00:09:51Hand spring, back flip.
00:09:52Very acrobatic.
00:09:54Let's see if he can make it pay off, springboard off the middle rope into a dropkick.
00:09:58All right, well, as we talked about earlier, Savage and Hogan agreed to that cage match at Uncensored.
00:10:04We've just been handed a note.
00:10:05You ready for this one?
00:10:07At Uncensored, just signed by the WCW Executive Committee, agreed to by the NWO,
00:10:12Lex Luger to meet Scott Steiner.
00:10:17How about that, Mike?
00:10:18Lex Luger and Scott Steiner is now official for Uncensored.
00:10:22Well, we talked about that earlier.
00:10:23Certainly Luger and Steiner so familiar with each other, years together on the road.
00:10:29To the top.
00:10:30Dropkick.
00:10:33Well, after what transpired here tonight between those two men,
00:10:37Luger heavily bandaged ribcage, Scott Steiner coming out with blonde hair,
00:10:43member of the NWO.
00:10:45There is no question that is going to be a high-impact, intense matchup coming up
00:10:50and Uncensored on the 15th of March.
00:10:53You realize, Shivani, two of probably the most powerful men in our sport,
00:10:58ever in our sport, Luger and Steiner.
00:11:00And let's not forget Luger's feelings.
00:11:02We talked about how he and the Steiners were very close.
00:11:05Here's a cover one, two, and obviously a tremendous amount of disgust for Scott Steiner
00:11:11from the total package Lex Luger.
00:11:13I do like him with the blonde hair, though.
00:11:14Oh, you do?
00:11:15I like blondes.
00:11:16You shouldn't like anything about this man.
00:11:20Well, I don't.
00:11:21But I like it.
00:11:21Well, good.
00:11:21I think that he looks good in the hair.
00:11:24Got it.
00:11:24Nice style.
00:11:24Got it.
00:11:25Two.
00:11:26And at Uncensored, it's going to be the torture rack
00:11:29versus the various suplexes of Scott Steiner.
00:11:34Yeah, because you never see Lex Luger really bounced around that much.
00:11:36Two.
00:11:37Almost got a pin.
00:11:39Very big, strong, tough man and knows what to do in that ring.
00:11:41And it'll be interesting to see Scott Steiner dribble him like a basketball.
00:11:47What are you trying to say?
00:11:47Are you siding with the NWO again?
00:11:50No, I'm just kidding.
00:11:51Oh!
00:11:52Cradle DDT by Conan.
00:11:54So much for Liz, Mark.
00:11:55The Cradle DDT could be the prelude to the Tequila Sunrise,
00:12:02and that's exactly what's happening here.
00:12:05Yes, he's tapping out.
00:12:06In a hurry, he tapped out.
00:12:08Woo!
00:12:09Conan of the NWO gets a big win for his group here on WCW Monday Nitro, guys.
00:12:18Another win for the NWO.
00:12:22NWO, which is in disarray.
00:12:25If anything will tell you the NWO's in disarray, just look at the card for Uncensored,
00:12:31where Savage and Hogan will collide in a cage match on Sunday, March 15th.
00:12:37Cage match, anything good.
00:12:38Orale!
00:12:39Orale!
00:12:44Orale!
00:12:46Everybody in Sacktown knows I'm body-bounded.
00:12:50Orale, Juventud Guerrera.
00:12:57You lost your most sacred possession.
00:13:02You got punked.
00:13:04You gave up.
00:13:06Orale, Juventud, or shall I say?
00:13:09Anibal Gonzalez, because without the mask, you're nothing.
00:13:14Everybody knows I asked you a million times to join the NWO,
00:13:20where you would be for life.
00:13:23But now, you're just a foregone conclusion.
00:13:28Arriba la raza!
00:13:31We're referring to Juventud Guerrera, and his real name, Anibal Gonzalez.
00:13:37What happened last night to Juventud?
00:13:40Striking in the hearts of all luchadors everywhere.
00:13:43We'll be back.
00:13:44See.
00:13:47We're back, and we are ready for the third hour of this explosive program.
00:13:52And what a third hour it's going to be, ladies and gentlemen.
00:13:55In this third hour, the Giant, we will hear from the Giant.
00:14:00First time since what happened to him had sold out in the month of January.
00:14:04Also, we'll see the Nature Boy, Rick Flarenach, and Sting, the World Heavyweight Champion,
00:14:10will go one-on-one against Scott Hall of the New World Order.
00:14:16And why not celebrate with the Nitro Girls?
00:14:19Because we're all celebrating Sting's win last night at Super Brawl.
00:14:24This is the best place the Nitro Girls could be.
00:14:27Wouldn't you agree, Brian?
00:14:28This is the best place for them.
00:14:29They should be here every week dancing, and they smell nice.
00:14:32I tell you, they are the best.
00:14:34Nitro Girls, and of course, we're going to have a grand prize winner very soon,
00:14:38where these gorgeous ladies will come to some lucky contestant, some lucky Nitro party.
00:14:45Well, I'm sure they'll come there if you're a nice guy.
00:14:48And so we'll be announcing a grand prize winner very, very soon.
00:14:51Come back any time.
00:14:52Nitro, we love you.
00:14:53This gig just gets better every week, doesn't it?
00:14:54Yes, it does.
00:14:54And I tell you, I want to say this as well.
00:14:58Well, let me wait till I'm saying bye, we'll see you later, sweetie.
00:15:01Anyway, nevertheless, I wanted to say that the fact that as Buff Bagwell comes down to Conan,
00:15:07a well-known fact that Mike Tenet and Karen Tenet had their first grandchild retreat.
00:15:17And Mike Tenet, to my right, is now a grandpa.
00:15:20Mike, we can't have too much of this.
00:15:22We may have to carry you out of here.
00:15:23You're getting up there in years.
00:15:25Certainly was a very strong moment, Tony.
00:15:27It should be, congratulations.
00:15:28Thank you very much.
00:15:29Congratulations, Mike.
00:15:30That makes you all feel good.
00:15:30Congratulations, Mike.
00:15:32What?
00:15:33Can't hear it here, dude.
00:15:34Yeah.
00:15:36Well, Buff Bagwell and Scott Norton coming.
00:15:38Can we bring the Lightyear girls back out here to the set again?
00:15:41Like next, but can't, like next match.
00:15:43Want me to go get them?
00:15:44No, I want you to stay here.
00:15:45Buff Bagwell, Scott Norton against High Voltage.
00:15:48Eddie Guerrero with Disco Inferno still to come.
00:15:50And the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
00:15:53Well, look at the smile on Buff Bagwell's face.
00:15:55The arrogance, but that smile cannot mask the pain within the NWO.
00:16:00They talk about a pecking order.
00:16:01They talk about Hollywood Hulk Hogan being the lead man.
00:16:04Well, he's having problems, and I can tell you what's gonna happen in the cage.
00:16:08And Uncentered is gonna go a long way in deciding the power struggle within the New World Order.
00:16:14That certainly seemed to be the case when the challenge was made from Hogan,
00:16:17and immediately accepted by Savage to be top gun in the NWO.
00:16:22Well, you talk about a power struggle.
00:16:24You're gonna see one right here.
00:16:25This team, High Voltage, in there with Buff Bagwell and Scott Norton, four very strong, powerful athletes.
00:16:35And certainly for High Voltage, here on Nitro, a win against the NWO would be their biggest win today.
00:16:41And Rage and Chaos have really improved since coming back from a month-long tour of Japan.
00:16:47They've adapted to that physical style, and they're gonna bring it back to World Championship
00:16:50Wrestling in opposition to the NWO.
00:16:53You know, it's obvious, guys, the criteria for being a member of the New World Order.
00:16:57You gotta be very, very successful as a wrestler.
00:16:59One of the most successful wrestlers in the world.
00:17:01You gotta have a big ego.
00:17:03You gotta be willing to backstab anyone, including family members.
00:17:06And truly, you have to pledge allegiance to Hollywood Hogan.
00:17:10Well, the Macho Man has met all that criteria with the exception of one,
00:17:14and they're gonna settle all that in a cage coming up in Uncensored.
00:17:17Vicious and delicious.
00:17:19There's another egomaniac and a very powerful man in Buff Bagwell.
00:17:23He and Scott Norton, self-proclaimed vicious and delicious against High Voltage in this next matchup.
00:17:31Don't forget, Sting is here. We've seen him already tonight.
00:17:34Tonight, going up against Scott Hall.
00:17:38What is Sting?
00:17:40Sting is the World Heavyweight Champion.
00:17:42Thank you, Brian.
00:17:42Good, Tony.
00:17:43Not only is he the World Heavyweight Champion,
00:17:45he defeated Hollywood Hogan last night.
00:17:47You're kidding.
00:17:49And as the fans will find out, if they get the encore presentation,
00:17:53he did a little bit more and then just win last night.
00:17:55If you know what I mean with a spring and a beat, you'll be able to see this.
00:18:01What a night it was.
00:18:02What a night it was.
00:18:04You know, Tony, now that the NWO has acquired the services of Scott Steiner,
00:18:08in addition to Buff Bagwell.
00:18:09You've never seen delicious before.
00:18:10I think I'd be interested in getting the New World Order's mirror concession.
00:18:14Yeah, I wonder if they want to go with their list,
00:18:16their top ten rankings of who has the biggest biceps in the NWO.
00:18:20How can a group of guys function?
00:18:22Everybody's worried about how big their arms are, how big their chest is.
00:18:26I mean, come on.
00:18:29Hey, they're egomaniacs.
00:18:32But they have always thrived as a unit.
00:18:35Their strong point, if you break them down, is the fact that they have survived because
00:18:41they watch each other's back.
00:18:42Oh, my.
00:18:44Buff Bagwell does not take kindly to Posey.
00:18:46Oh!
00:18:48High voltage don't take kindly to being slapped in the face.
00:18:51And a power display by Rage, first with the gorilla press slam,
00:18:54and then with the clothesline, and now a headbutt.
00:18:56Rage, chaos, high voltage.
00:19:00It's been quite a while since we've seen him here on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:19:03But right now, looking great as a tag team unit.
00:19:06Certainly could go far with a win here of the New World Order's Vicious and Delicious.
00:19:12Speaking of strong and powerful, here he comes right here.
00:19:15Now, is this Vicious or Delicious?
00:19:16This is Vicious.
00:19:19I think.
00:19:21Oh, it doesn't matter.
00:19:22I mean, they're both top.
00:19:23Hitting the ropes.
00:19:24Ducky Law and a flying shoulder block by Scott Norton.
00:19:28Yeah, delivered with about 340 pounds behind it.
00:19:31You're not kidding, it was.
00:19:32Look at the size of the calves on him, too.
00:19:35Just the one big, huge man.
00:19:38And a big power slam by Chaos.
00:19:40What about that move, guys?
00:19:42Great display of power and strength by Chaos.
00:19:45Good teamwork now by Rage and Chaos.
00:19:47Pick him up and a double team.
00:19:49A guillotine leg drop and a double team to Booth.
00:19:52Pinning combination, but only in one count, and Norton got out of it quickly.
00:19:56Norton just powered his way out of it.
00:19:58He's so hard to keep down.
00:19:59I mean, how many people have said they've pinned Scott Norton in this business?
00:20:03Not many.
00:20:04You almost literally, virtually have to knock the man out, Cole.
00:20:07Scott Norton, look at this, absorb that close, and you're right in there with him.
00:20:11You can just feel him.
00:20:15Great camera work by Al Eastman that time, right in the midst of all that action.
00:20:19And running right through with a left-handed lariat.
00:20:22Like I said, this team of high voltage, they're no midgets, they're big boys.
00:20:27Oh!
00:20:28Clothesline from the outside by Bagwell, big slam by Norton.
00:20:31Yeah, superb double team worked that time by Vicious and Delicious, and here they go.
00:20:35Very important for the NWO to continue their winning ways in the face of all this dissension,
00:20:41and all the problems at the top, so to speak.
00:20:44And the fact that Sting is the World Champion.
00:20:45Sting of WCW is the World Heavyweight Champion.
00:20:49And there's Bagwell nailing Rage on the top of the head.
00:20:54You know, Rage is gonna have to learn.
00:20:55The longer he stays in there, he's not doing his partner any good.
00:20:57But that all comes with experience.
00:20:59He needs to control his rage, is what he needs to do.
00:21:02And now, Chaos meets the medal on the outside.
00:21:10And let's roll back in.
00:21:16You know, Bagwell, many times over before he made his NWO turn,
00:21:20was a member of a Tag Team Championship team.
00:21:23So he has thrived on Tag Team Wrestling, holding his balance, and that's a big forearm shot.
00:21:28The pose by Buff, watch out.
00:21:30How about that?
00:21:34Out of nowhere, Buff never saw him coming.
00:21:38You know, we are seeing a great display by a young Tag Team.
00:21:41Earlier tonight, we saw Lenny Lane give a great showing against Chris Jericho in a Cruiserweight
00:21:46title match.
00:21:46And now we're seeing the same thing from this young duo of High Voltage.
00:21:50A pickup and a back body drop.
00:21:52This Rage is really compact and powerful.
00:21:57Pick up.
00:21:58Has Bagwell up.
00:21:59Over the top.
00:22:01My goodness, what a move.
00:22:02Just released him, just threw him away.
00:22:04Ducking the close line attempt, double gut shot.
00:22:08They're gonna try to hook Scott Norton.
00:22:10Uh-oh.
00:22:11Gonna try and double suplex him.
00:22:12Oh!
00:22:14Norton reversed it.
00:22:16He widened his place that time.
00:22:18Couldn't get him over.
00:22:19And Scott Norton just manhandled two men at one time.
00:22:23I'm impressed.
00:22:24Ball and Blankwester off the top by Bagwell.
00:22:27Oh, my.
00:22:29Cover one, two, and three.
00:22:31What a great tag team that that was.
00:22:32And what a great win for Bagwell and Norton.
00:22:36I mean, an impressive win.
00:22:37And what a good showing for High Voltage, even in defeat.
00:22:40Yes, it was.
00:22:40They stayed with him a long time, and they took Norton off his feet a few times.
00:22:44This is horrible, it ain't NW.
00:22:46Yeah, right, fans should have come, the giant will hear from him.
00:22:50Plus, The Nature Boy, Ric Flair in action, a whole lot more.
00:22:52Mm.
00:23:01The action continues.
00:23:02What a night it's been, I mean.
00:23:04What a weekend.
00:23:05What a weekend it's been.
00:23:06It was a big celebration last night in San Francisco with WCW fans,
00:23:11with athletes of World Championship Wrestling.
00:23:14Obviously, Sting bringing the gold back.
00:23:16And what'll go down is one of the most memorable matches.
00:23:19Fans, the encore presentation is available for our fans who have Direct TV
00:23:24available on Direct Ticket.
00:23:25You can order that.
00:23:26When it happens, of course, make the call for pay-per-view.
00:23:29The Dish Network viewers choice.
00:23:31I got a question to ask you, Johnny, what's that?
00:23:35What would happen?
00:23:37And it can happen.
00:23:38Because Scott Hall is capable enough.
00:23:40What would happen tonight if Scott Hall was to defeat, sing, and become the WCW
00:23:47Heavyweight Champion of the World?
00:23:48Because the building is full of NWO people.
00:23:51What would that do for NWO?
00:23:54How do I say this?
00:23:55And face value of that, I would think it would be obviously a black guy and
00:24:01a horrible for WCW.
00:24:03But don't you think, you know, we talked so much tonight about the ego that is a part of the NWO.
00:24:10Don't you think Hogan would be angry about something like that?
00:24:12Well, I don't think so.
00:24:13Because remember at the top of the program, he talked about Scott Hall bringing the world's
00:24:18heavyweight title back to the family.
00:24:20And I think Bobby makes a great point.
00:24:21We all celebrated Sting's victory over Hollywood Hogan last night in Superbrawl.
00:24:26And certainly it was a monumental win.
00:24:28I mean, don't sit back and think that Sting can't lose and Hall can't win.
00:24:33That's the point I'm going to make.
00:24:34In professional sports, there's something known as a letdown factor.
00:24:39And coming so quickly, 24 hours after that big victory, Sting has to remain focused
00:24:46against Scott Hall, one of the top athletes in our sports today.
00:24:49And also, let me add to this, Sting has to remain focused in his friends,
00:24:53members of WCW who have backed this man.
00:24:56He has become our leader, there is no question.
00:24:58There are many of them here tonight.
00:25:00They need to be prepared to watch his back if need be.
00:25:04Because if nothing else, if nothing else, and I say this only because of the pattern
00:25:09that has become the NWO, if nothing else, the NWO, if they can't get the belt back,
00:25:15will try to take the man out.
00:25:17Eddie Guerrero, very relaxed.
00:25:19With his commentary on Disco's dance steps.
00:25:23Totally bored with the man's dancing.
00:25:25But you know, here's another thing.
00:25:27Hollywood Hogan and Eric Bischoff love to rub it in and say, Sting,
00:25:32you only had the championship for 24 hours.
00:25:36Shortest reign probably in the history of WCW champions.
00:25:40Huh, Sting?
00:25:41You dropped the ball.
00:25:42You're a failure at WCW.
00:25:44They love to do that.
00:25:46And that is still to come.
00:25:49If, in fact, Scott Hall can do it.
00:25:51But also, you know, you're right about a letdown factor.
00:25:54But there's also momentum that you get when you become champion.
00:25:58So let's see what happens later on tonight.
00:26:00In this telecast, live from Sacramento, Eddie Guerrero, Disco Inferno.
00:26:04Two fine athletes.
00:26:08Former champions, both men in this sport.
00:26:16And the Disco Inferno here.
00:26:19And Eddie Guerrero trying to show up each other.
00:26:24Well, Guerrero, as far as I'm concerned, is a class act.
00:26:26This man knows how to wrestle.
00:26:28What? I like this style.
00:26:28There's nothing classy about Guerrero at all.
00:26:31Much like Scott Steiner, he turned his back on his family.
00:26:34But that's- But that's what?
00:26:36Well, that's family business, none of our business.
00:26:39Who do you care what the Steiners do anyway or what Guerrero's do anywhere?
00:26:42You get the Christmas gift, you like the family, who cares?
00:26:45One, two.
00:26:47You just like guys who cheat, who turn their back on people.
00:26:50Because you basically are a miserable human.
00:26:53You don't like people either.
00:26:54Boom.
00:26:55Backchop.
00:26:57I like you, Tony.
00:26:58Bro.
00:27:00Not a chance.
00:27:00Oh!
00:27:01And again, Eddie Guerrero.
00:27:03So intense.
00:27:04Eddie.
00:27:05How about this?
00:27:05Disco Inferno's had enough.
00:27:07Disco Inferno with authority.
00:27:10Left boots to the midsection.
00:27:11Right hand to the side of the head.
00:27:13The Disco Inferno now.
00:27:16Getting the offense going to the midsection.
00:27:18He'll pick up Eddie.
00:27:20Look at this.
00:27:21Spinning and sends him down with a vertical suplex.
00:27:24Covered.
00:27:25Only got a two.
00:27:27What is showing by Disco Inferno against Eddie Guerrero?
00:27:30It's obvious to me to make Disco Inferno championship material where he can win a championship.
00:27:37You're going to have to get him mentally focused to forget about everything else but be mad.
00:27:43Go to the ring mad.
00:27:44When he goes to the ring and dances, it takes him a while to get into the groove.
00:27:48He should go to the ring mad.
00:27:49And we saw that last night against La Parca.
00:27:52Eventually winning out with that chart buster.
00:27:55Well, he got mad.
00:27:57Now, some people, you know, take anger different ways.
00:28:00And some sports better than others being able to use the anger factor.
00:28:05Obviously, we saw what anger did to Rick Steiner earlier tonight in his matchup with Vincent.
00:28:12Vincent didn't stand a chance.
00:28:14No one would have.
00:28:14Didn't stand a chance.
00:28:15You're right.
00:28:15No one would have.
00:28:16Rick Steiner was a human buzzsaw tonight.
00:28:20Well, you know, as well as I do, the friendship that had been built up with the Steiner brothers
00:28:25and Lex Luger traveling together, spending time together, family spending time together.
00:28:31And now when Lex Luger goes in the ring with Scott Steiner at Uncentric, what explosion that's going to be.
00:28:37Eddie going for the frog splash, looking out to the fans, giving Disco Inferno the opportunity
00:28:42to get to his feet, to the middle turnbuckle.
00:28:45Can Disco bring him inside?
00:28:47Eddie trying to fight him off and was successful with it.
00:28:50Repeated headbutts.
00:28:51Eddie now up top of Disco fighting back.
00:28:53What a fight we're having here.
00:28:55Oh, like a frisbee.
00:28:57Disco, swingy dick breaker.
00:29:03Disco Inferno covers Guerrero.
00:29:05One, two.
00:29:08We have had some fierce competition here tonight, guys, on many levels.
00:29:12It's better every week.
00:29:14Well, there's so much at stake, especially with the great viewing audiences on Nitro.
00:29:19Reputations can be made or lost in one night.
00:29:22Front suplex and a cover.
00:29:24Well, that was close.
00:29:26Foot got on the rope on the far side there.
00:29:28And Disco pounding on the mat showing his frustration.
00:29:33Eddie pushing to the bottom turnbuckle.
00:29:36And Charles Robinson doing a good job of getting in between the men here.
00:29:40Single leg pickup.
00:29:41When I think of referees and good jobs, I think of Nick Patrick,
00:29:44who really, and I really have to be very honest about this,
00:29:48fooled us all last night.
00:29:50And he fooled everyone.
00:29:51He fooled both sides.
00:29:55He came to that matchup coming in when the referee, the assigned referee went down.
00:30:00Senior official asserting himself and made the right calls at the right time.
00:30:06Barney, just think how stupid you sound.
00:30:08Up on top.
00:30:09I was saying this all along that Nick Patrick did nothing wrong.
00:30:13You were burying the guy.
00:30:14Now, because he did a good job, you're saying he's a swell guy.
00:30:17He always was a swell guy.
00:30:18I didn't say he always was a swell guy.
00:30:20I said he did a good job last night.
00:30:24He got it with a frog splash, and it's over.
00:30:27We know dancing in Brooklyn tonight.
00:30:31Eddie Guerrero with a big win, with a frog splash off the top.
00:30:35But Disco Inferno pushing to the limit on this one here on WCW Monday Nitro, guys.
00:30:40Well, Disco was in control until Eddie focused on the leg and the knee of Disco Inferno leading to the frog splash win.
00:30:49Fans next on Nitro, the nature boy, Ric Flair, still to come.
00:30:53We'll hear from the Giants and Sting and Scott Hall, the world title, all coming up.
00:31:00We are live here tonight, and also want to remind you, we'll be live on TBS this Thursday for Thunder.
00:31:06It'll be coming from the five-season center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
00:31:09The event is sold out in Cedar Rapids.
00:31:12A week from this Thursday, on Thursday, March 5th, we'll be in Columbus, Ohio for Thunder.
00:31:17That event is sold out.
00:31:18The next chance to get tickets for a Thunder event is March 12th at the Riverside Centroplex in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
00:31:25Tickets at the...
00:31:27Whoa.
00:31:28What was I talking about?
00:31:31You're asking me?
00:31:32I was watching the Nitro girls, and I just...
00:31:34Something about sold-out Thunder.
00:31:35Oh, yes, we have.
00:31:36We were talking about...
00:31:37So where are we going to be June 7th?
00:31:39Baton Rouge on Thursday, March 12th, Riverside Centroplex for Thunder.
00:31:45Tickets to box office and Ticketmaster.
00:31:47Hey.
00:31:48Where are we now?
00:31:50We are in Sacramento.
00:31:52We are part of Nitro with the Nitro girls.
00:31:54I like that dance routine right there, guys.
00:31:56I'd have guessed heaven.
00:31:59We should do that every week.
00:32:00Let's go to Mean Gene Ogreland, Gene.
00:32:02Speaking of taking off, Tony, we're going to be taking off for the University of Pennsylvania.
00:32:07Next Monday night for Nitro, I'm going to be with the Nitro girls on campus at Penn.
00:32:12J.J. Dillon, chairman of the WCW Executive Committee, come on in.
00:32:16It has been a very interesting 24 hours, to say the least.
00:32:21Now, last night at Super Bowl, some things happened.
00:32:25I know you were keeping a very, very close eye on.
00:32:27And I would like to have your take on just exactly what went down, especially in light
00:32:32of the fact that we do have a brand new WCW Heavyweight Champion of the World.
00:32:37Well, as we saw last night in a situation somewhat similar to Starcade,
00:32:43the referee was incapacitated.
00:32:45And my worst fear, Gene, was that somehow we were not going to have a definite decision
00:32:51last night.
00:32:51But before Hollywood Hulk Hogan or Eric Bischoff or anybody else at the NWO is thinking about
00:32:57filing some kind of a protest or something, because I did say that Nick Patrick was not
00:33:02the official assigned to the main event, but he was standing by.
00:33:06And it was a good thing that he was because I'm the one that sent him to the ring.
00:33:11So the decision that was rendered last night by Nick Patrick was an official binding decision,
00:33:18which means if there's a doubt in anybody's mind, the undisputed WCW World Heavyweight Champion
00:33:27is Sting.
00:33:29Yes, yes, I think that's a very popular decision.
00:33:34And I must say, J.J. Dillon, I've got to give you credit for picking and sending
00:33:39Nick Patrick down to the ring.
00:33:40And speaking of Nick Patrick, I'd like to ask him to come out if he would.
00:33:43Got one more little piece of business that needs to be taken care of.
00:33:48All right, here's the man, the man of the hour at least last night.
00:33:52He's had kind of some some rough sailing here for the last month and a half.
00:33:56I want to publicly congratulate you for the fine job that you did last night for caring
00:34:00enough to be in uniform and standing by if needed, which is the was the case.
00:34:05And you did an outstanding job and your next assignment is waiting for you in the ring right
00:34:11now. Go get him.
00:34:11Well, I'd like to thank you very much.
00:34:13And now that the suspension thing is cleared up and the back pay thing is cleared up,
00:34:17I want you to know there's no hard feelings and we're going to get along just like peanut
00:34:21butter and jelly from now on, sir.
00:34:22All right, he was grossy about back pay last night, but apparently all is well with Nick Patrick.
00:34:29Right now, let's take you back to the voice of Nitro and WCW, my good friend Tony Chabot.
00:34:34Gene, thanks a lot.
00:34:35And Nick Patrick deserving the handshake, deserving the back pay after all of that.
00:34:41And he has a big match up here.
00:34:43All right, fans want to tell you that as Brad Armstrong gets his introduction,
00:34:48want to let you in on something we talked about right at the top of the program.
00:34:53That the governor of Minnesota has declared that this Friday, February 27th,
00:35:00be Ric Flair Day in the state of Minnesota.
00:35:03And that is the same day this coming Friday that tickets will go on sale for WCW Monday Nitro.
00:35:10And the event will be Monday, April 13th for Nitro at the Target Center.
00:35:14Tickets go on sale at the Target Center box office and Ticketmaster beginning at 10 AM,
00:35:18actually beginning at 9 AM.
00:35:20And Ric Flair will be there from 9 to 10, 9, wait a minute, I'm wrong now.
00:35:249 to 11 AM at the Target Center box office on Ric Flair date in the state of Minneapolis,
00:35:31in the state of Minnesota, in the city of Minneapolis.
00:35:33That is quite a tribute to Ric Flair.
00:35:36Ric Flair, raised in Minneapolis, lives in Charlotte, North Carolina.
00:35:4113 time former World Heavyweight Champion, deserves his day in the state of Minnesota.
00:35:48But that's funny, earlier I heard this rumor too, we're gonna make it Ric Flair day.
00:35:52Ric Flair came up to me and told me, he says, I don't know why, I'm the wrestler that made
00:35:56Minnesota famous.
00:35:57Flair had nothing to do with it, but he's really put out about that.
00:36:01And who did you believe?
00:36:02Did you really believe that Henning is the man that made Minnesota famous?
00:36:05He told me that.
00:36:06I knew Henning would be upset about that, but certainly very deserving,
00:36:10and it's gonna be a great homecoming for the Nature Boy.
00:36:14Nature Boy Ric Flair and Brad Armstrong one-on-one, yeah.
00:36:17We mentioned earlier that we'll hear from the giant in this telecast.
00:36:22We will also see Sting and Scott Hall, five of the World Heavyweight title, later on tonight.
00:36:27That was announced and made by Hollywood Hogan when he arrived to the arena, very angrily,
00:36:35as he stalked in, he and Eric Bischoff walking out of the limousine.
00:36:39And I still wonder in the back of my mind, who in the world else was in that limousine?
00:36:44We've touched on it a couple of times, but obviously a third person, and Eric Bischoff said,
00:36:49hey, we don't want anybody to see this person, and they stalked away.
00:36:52We kind of forgot about her, but we really can't. When it comes to the NWO, they are full of surprises.
00:36:58I wonder why Bischoff and Hogan would try and hide this person now.
00:37:02Do you think it's someone new that might be arriving to the New World Order, or?
00:37:05Let me put it to you this way. What's the main event here tonight?
00:37:09Main event is Sting defending the World's Heavyweight title against Scott Hall.
00:37:13What's Hall a member of?
00:37:14The NWO.
00:37:15What's Hogan a member of?
00:37:16New World Order.
00:37:17Hey, is this quiz gonna go on much longer? Here, let's get to the point.
00:37:20Something might happen tonight. Sting may hold the title only 24 hours.
00:37:25That's what I'm telling you.
00:37:26Okay. I know you've been saying that, but I want to let you know,
00:37:29it's just not a run-of-the-mill wrestler we're talking about. We're talking about Sting, okay?
00:37:34Okay, and we're also talking about some people that don't like Sting, that will do anything. Anything.
00:37:39Brad Armstrong goes back to the attack on Ric Flair. Flair gets a knee into the midsection,
00:37:45into a side headlock. Two fine competitors right here, guys.
00:37:48Brad Armstrong, Ric Flair, know each other quite well.
00:37:51Have wrestled many times, many times when Ric Flair was the world champ.
00:37:55Brad Armstrong got the shot, and many times, that was a part I was there in ringside
00:37:59when Flair and Brad Armstrong, not that long ago, vied for the world title,
00:38:02one of his last title reigns for Flair, and Brad Armstrong almost came away with the belt.
00:38:06We saw Brad Armstrong wear the Armstrong Curse t-shirt on his way to the ring this evening.
00:38:11That just has to do with Brad being such an accomplished wrestler, but bottom line,
00:38:16not having the greatest one-loss record over the course of the last year or so.
00:38:21Oh, he's in there with the best right now.
00:38:22To a side headlock, Nick Petrick goes two and almost goes three, and very close to getting the three count.
00:38:29The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, as you saw at the top of the program, if you joined us right at the beginning,
00:38:33for our number one, had a lot to say about Scott Steiner, had a lot to say about the NWO and
00:38:38the recent turn of events for Scott and Ric Steiner, and certainly Ric Flair very close to the war
00:38:44that's existed between the two factions, suddenly a part of world championship wrestling.
00:38:51Flair again.
00:38:54Knife-edged chop in the corner, Brad Armstrong coming out.
00:38:58And Flair's association with WCW never more exemplified
00:39:02than the recent attack by Bryan Adams and the NWO on Bret the Hitman Hart when Bret's rival,
00:39:09Ric Flair, came to the rescue.
00:39:13Ooh.
00:39:17Back and forth they go, and you can hear it, and the fans reacting to it.
00:39:20And Armstrong's coming on.
00:39:27Into the rope, back bunny trap.
00:39:28You talk about Armstrong's one lost record, what if he beat Flair right here?
00:39:34That would give him some momentum.
00:39:36Especially on Nitro.
00:39:37Are you kidding?
00:39:38That would pretty much put the Armstrong curse to an end, wouldn't it?
00:39:43He could get rid of it, he could throw away that lousy-looking T-shirt.
00:39:46Ric Flair, boy, the fans love him, standing up.
00:39:50Show of admiration, respect.
00:39:53Certainly a man who's been world champion 13 times.
00:39:56And I wonder, back body driver, I wonder if anyone will ever break that record.
00:40:01Well, records are made to be broken.
00:40:05Yes, they are.
00:40:06But I don't know about that one.
00:40:09It's like the 56-game hitting streak of Joe DiMaggio.
00:40:11There's his Russian leg sweep into a pinning combination.
00:40:14He could have it here, one, two, and through.
00:40:17So many victories with that move through the years for Brad Armstrong.
00:40:20Shows how Nick Patrick had his hand underneath Ric Flair's shoulder that time,
00:40:24making sure the shoulder was down.
00:40:26And that's a missile drop kick from Armstrong.
00:40:29Armstrong has hit Flair with a lot.
00:40:30He's gonna go up top again.
00:40:32Flair, as you can see, getting up.
00:40:34Armstrong is up, and Flair, oh, boy.
00:40:37See, just when you think you got Flair, he's got you.
00:40:39He's the master, you're right.
00:40:40You're right.
00:40:41Armstrong said, well, I hit him with that one drop kick.
00:40:43I'm gonna go for another.
00:40:44First, I'm gonna lay here, allow him to just pour a fool into it.
00:40:48That's what he did.
00:40:51Ric Flair sends Armstrong crashing to the mat,
00:40:55and Ric Flair puts on the legendary figure four.
00:40:59It's time to go to school.
00:41:00Well, they've gone to school, and Nick Patrick checks in, calls the bell.
00:41:06We've got a winner again in one of the most remarkable win-loss records
00:41:11in the history of professional wrestling.
00:41:14Ric Flair is in the win column once again.
00:41:17How many times do you think his hand's been raised in his career?
00:41:20Thousands of times.
00:41:21Not enough.
00:41:22Fans, when we come back, we'll hear from The Giant live on Nitro.
00:41:41They're not what you think.
00:41:43I try to win.
00:41:44We're going to win.
00:41:45Why?
00:41:46I try to win.
00:41:46I'm going to win.
00:41:47We're going to win.
00:41:48I try to win.
00:41:48It's like a game of the most remarkable win-loss.
00:41:54We also to get a game of the most powerful,
00:41:56and I'll win.
00:41:57I'm going to win.
00:41:59I'll get another game of the most beautiful with the best of you.
00:42:01Fantastic.
00:42:02I won't win.
00:42:03I'm going to win.
00:42:04I'll win.
00:42:04I'll win.
00:42:06Let's do this.
00:42:06I'll win.
00:42:07I'll give you a favor.
00:42:07What?
00:42:08I'll win.
00:42:08I'll win.
00:42:09All right, ladies and gentlemen,
00:42:28you have just seen that very graphic videotape.
00:42:33I want to bring the man out who was on the receiving end.
00:42:36Please welcome to Sacramento, here on Nitro,
00:42:40the one, the only, the Giant.
00:42:48Almost one month since he was dropped on his head.
00:42:54You saw, as Gene said, the graphic video.
00:42:57Neck injuries have taken many of the greats out of the sport.
00:43:01And Tony, we see that he has the neck brace still in place.
00:43:06Can't wait to get an update condition on the Giant
00:43:09and his possible eventual return to the ring.
00:43:12Well, neck injury ended my career in the ring.
00:43:34Arne Anderson's career.
00:43:35Gentlemen, you touched on it.
00:43:38We have seen that videotape over the past month.
00:43:41I can't tell you how many times.
00:43:43But Giant, every time I see it,
00:43:46I get that queasy feeling in my stomach.
00:43:49I actually physically get sick to my stomach.
00:43:53Bring me up to date as best you can
00:43:55on what the doctors are telling you
00:43:57about that severe blow to the upper neck
00:44:01and the back of the head.
00:44:02I'm going to get to that in a minute.
00:44:05As every professional athlete knows,
00:44:07there are risks that you take in everything that you do.
00:44:10And every time I've ever laced up my boots,
00:44:13I've known that I was taking a risk.
00:44:15When I walked to that ring with Kevin Nash that night
00:44:18and stood across the ring from him,
00:44:21I had no idea what was going to happen.
00:44:25You maliciously, in a barbaric way,
00:44:29they dropped me on my neck, trying to break my neck.
00:44:37It didn't work.
00:44:39You know, and there are consequences,
00:44:42and there are things that you have to pay for.
00:44:44And right now, every time I feel the pain in my neck,
00:44:47every time I reach down to pick something up,
00:44:52I think of you, Kevin Nash.
00:44:59You know, I've got all these things against me.
00:45:01I've got doctors that tell me I may never wrestle again.
00:45:05Wow.
00:45:05I've got news for them,
00:45:11and I've got news for you,
00:45:14and you especially, Kevin Nash.
00:45:16I will wrestle again.
00:45:19And when I get my hands
00:45:21or my hand
00:45:25around your neck,
00:45:28then you're going to feel
00:45:29the ride of your life.
00:45:32You say when?
00:45:38You say when?
00:45:40And you be afraid,
00:45:42because you've got a bad case of giant
00:45:45all over your back.
00:45:48All right, for the record,
00:45:49I should point out that that move,
00:45:51that jackknife powerslam,
00:45:53has been banned.
00:45:55And I think that Nash right now
00:45:57is politically holding that
00:45:58over the head of officials.
00:46:00You know, Gene, it doesn't matter to me.
00:46:02Let him use the powerbomb.
00:46:05Let him get all the practice he can.
00:46:07Because the next time I wrestle him,
00:46:09I don't want any excuses.
00:46:10I want you 100%
00:46:12so I can break you down.
00:46:17That, Tony,
00:46:19sounds like a challenge to me
00:46:21from a man who stands
00:46:22seven foot three and a half,
00:46:24487 pounds.
00:46:26The giant,
00:46:28he wants Kevin Nash.
00:46:30Nitro,
00:46:30we're live in Sacramento.
00:46:32What a Monday night.
00:46:39We are back live,
00:46:40coast to coast,
00:46:41here on TNT,
00:46:42and this is really
00:46:43turning out to be
00:46:44quite an evening indeed.
00:46:46Weather here in
00:46:47Northern California,
00:46:48well, a little on the wet side.
00:46:49Great weather for a duck,
00:46:51but I don't even think
00:46:52they'd have anything
00:46:52to quack about.
00:46:53Please join me.
00:46:55I'm not in the business
00:46:55of doing this,
00:46:57but I want to introduce
00:46:58a member of the
00:46:59New World Order,
00:47:00one of their latest editions.
00:47:03Ladies and gentlemen,
00:47:04Bryan Adams.
00:47:08Bryan Adams,
00:47:09who one week ago
00:47:10made his shocking debut
00:47:12on this program,
00:47:12looking to shake
00:47:13the hand of Bret Hart,
00:47:14holding Bret Hart for a beat.
00:47:16The New World Order.
00:47:22That certainly was
00:47:23an auspicious debut
00:47:24one week ago tonight
00:47:26for Bryan Adams
00:47:27trying to deceive
00:47:29Bret Hart
00:47:30with the handshake
00:47:32and then later revealing
00:47:33that he was a member
00:47:34of the New World Order.
00:47:35Bryan Adams.
00:47:44Mr. Adams,
00:47:44I wanted to bring you out
00:47:46as long as we had
00:47:46the ample opportunity
00:47:47here on Nitro.
00:47:49First of all,
00:47:50I don't know what you're doing
00:47:51with the New World Order.
00:47:52That's number one.
00:47:54And number two,
00:47:55what in the world
00:47:56has Bret Hart
00:47:58ever done to you?
00:48:00First of all,
00:48:01you stinking amoeba,
00:48:02shut up before I smack you.
00:48:04Let me ask the questions.
00:48:06And that goes
00:48:07for each and every one
00:48:08of you out there.
00:48:09You're so pro-WCW,
00:48:11you make me sick.
00:48:12Why don't you call it
00:48:14like it is, Jack?
00:48:15Don't touch me.
00:48:16I've got a-
00:48:17I said shut up
00:48:18before I smack you
00:48:19and don't think I won't.
00:48:20Mean Gene.
00:48:21Listen up.
00:48:24I'm out here tonight
00:48:26because the question
00:48:28around the wrestling world today
00:48:30is what exactly
00:48:31are you doing here,
00:48:33Bryan Adams?
00:48:33I'm here to join
00:48:35the most elite force
00:48:37in professional wrestling,
00:48:38which is the N.W.O.
00:48:41Some of you wrestlers
00:48:45may think different
00:48:46and you may fool
00:48:48some of the people.
00:48:50And if you're trying real hard,
00:48:52you may even fool
00:48:53yourselves.
00:48:55But you know deep down inside,
00:48:57the N.W.O.
00:48:58is the measuring stick.
00:49:00Now,
00:49:02to address
00:49:05the question
00:49:06about Brett the Hitman Hart,
00:49:08who is probably
00:49:09sitting in his igloo
00:49:11in Calgary right now
00:49:12watching
00:49:13because he's too
00:49:14stinking yellow
00:49:15to come on down here.
00:49:17So let me address you,
00:49:19Hitman.
00:49:21Get this camera on me.
00:49:25Hitman,
00:49:26if I wanted
00:49:28a piece of you,
00:49:29let me tell you
00:49:32what would happen.
00:49:33No, better yet,
00:49:35let me tell you
00:49:36what wouldn't happen.
00:49:37First of all,
00:49:39I wouldn't break a sweat.
00:49:42Second of all,
00:49:44I definitely
00:49:45wouldn't go off my feet
00:49:46because you're
00:49:47just not good enough.
00:49:49And thirdly,
00:49:51time to back it up,
00:49:52big man.
00:49:53And thirdly,
00:49:54you may get served up.
00:49:57What is going on?
00:50:00It's the Hitman.
00:50:01Ho-ho!
00:50:03I think we're gonna see
00:50:04somebody break a sweat
00:50:05and hopefully
00:50:06someone taking off
00:50:07his feet.
00:50:07He must have been hiding
00:50:08all night long.
00:50:11I think he may have
00:50:12a bone to pick
00:50:13with you,
00:50:14Bryan Adams.
00:50:15I'm glad to see
00:50:16a lot of you
00:50:16pushing me around.
00:50:18Don't try to push
00:50:18this man around.
00:50:20Listen here,
00:50:21Bryan Adams.
00:50:22I don't know
00:50:23what kind of beef
00:50:24you got with me,
00:50:25but you don't need
00:50:26to jump me
00:50:27in any dressing room.
00:50:28You don't need
00:50:28to get me from behind
00:50:29because you can do it
00:50:30face to face
00:50:31right here,
00:50:33right now.
00:50:34All right,
00:50:35I think he's calling
00:50:36your bluff, Adams.
00:50:38Bryan, another!
00:50:39They can't do anything
00:50:40face to face.
00:50:41The NWO can't,
00:50:42and Bret,
00:50:42the Hitman Hart,
00:50:44is laying waste
00:50:45to big Bryan Adams.
00:50:47Well, he called him out.
00:50:48He wanted him.
00:50:49Whoa, inverted atomic drop
00:50:52out of the corner
00:50:53by Adams.
00:50:53This Adams and one
00:50:54huge man,
00:50:55look at the size of him.
00:50:56How about this
00:50:57is not too much
00:50:58of the Bryan Adams.
00:50:59Tilt-a-whirl
00:51:00backbreaker by Adams.
00:51:01Big, powerful
00:51:03tilt-a-whirls
00:51:03what it was.
00:51:04What a big man.
00:51:06What a gigantic man.
00:51:07He hits the rope.
00:51:08Elbow missed.
00:51:09Bret Hart rises back up.
00:51:13How about this?
00:51:14Well, if he can't see,
00:51:15he can't hit you.
00:51:16Like a hockey game
00:51:17to Calgary.
00:51:19Pulled a jersey over his head
00:51:20and held away.
00:51:22Well, we've done a nice job
00:51:24when the hockey game broke out.
00:51:27He's got a minute.
00:51:28Sharp shooter applied.
00:51:30Well, I think he just broke the sweat,
00:51:32and as you can see,
00:51:33he's off his feet.
00:51:35Well, he won his Bret
00:51:36Hitman Hart,
00:51:37and he got him.
00:51:39There's Kurt Hinnig.
00:51:39Kurt Hinnig.
00:51:40Oh.
00:51:40Oh, my.
00:51:43Well,
00:51:44one of the unfortunate things
00:51:46about that sharp shooter
00:51:47is you're stuck as well.
00:51:50Nowhere for him to go,
00:51:52and that's...
00:51:52Oh, it's Rude.
00:51:53Now, where do you see Hinnig,
00:51:54you see Rude.
00:51:55And now, look at Bret Hart.
00:51:57Bret Hart taking on everyone.
00:52:00Hart, Hinnig,
00:52:03pounding away.
00:52:04Rude comes in.
00:52:04Just a fist fight
00:52:05between the two.
00:52:06Oh, now the numbers,
00:52:07the numbers just too great
00:52:08now for Bret Hart.
00:52:09Stomping away,
00:52:13Ric Flair.
00:52:14Ric Flair's come out
00:52:15of the dressing room.
00:52:19Chops Hinnig back to the corner.
00:52:22Flair,
00:52:23Hart together.
00:52:25As we saw on Nitro
00:52:27a week ago,
00:52:29tradition rises to the occasion
00:52:31once again.
00:52:34And they're standing in the ring,
00:52:35slapping high fives,
00:52:37Bret the Hitman Hart,
00:52:38and the Nature Boy,
00:52:40Ric Flair.
00:52:41Oh, what a great moment
00:52:42in Nitro.
00:52:44What a great moment
00:52:45for WCW.
00:52:47What a big weekend
00:52:48for our company.
00:52:50Do you ever think
00:52:51you see that?
00:52:52Flair and Hart
00:52:53exchanging high fives?
00:52:55Never.
00:52:57Well, when you're talking
00:52:57about WCW and the NWO,
00:53:00you can see just about anything.
00:53:01Expect the unexpected.
00:53:03Yeah, they walk out slowly.
00:53:10A little communication
00:53:11going on here.
00:53:12I don't know if they're
00:53:13plotting something else or not,
00:53:15but Ric Flair and Bret Hart
00:53:17have come to the ring together
00:53:19as the unit Hinnig, Adams,
00:53:22Rude take the low road.
00:53:24That is quite a duo.
00:53:28WCW chock full of the greatest
00:53:31athletes in the world.
00:53:32Bret the Hitman Hart!
00:53:36Woo!
00:53:39Welcome to WCW for life!
00:53:50In my lifetime,
00:53:59I will tell you this, Bret Hart.
00:54:03Hogan's, Hall's, Nash's,
00:54:08Hinnig's have always tried
00:54:12to prevail.
00:54:14But today,
00:54:16today, Bret Hart,
00:54:19and I'm going to say it first-hand,
00:54:22maybe not tomorrow,
00:54:25but today,
00:54:27you are
00:54:28the best there is.
00:54:30Oh, wow.
00:54:32The best there was,
00:54:36and today,
00:54:40the best there ever will be.
00:54:43Now,
00:54:45half this crowd
00:54:50wait for me,
00:54:52sucker punch you,
00:54:54it ain't gonna happen.
00:54:56I'm gonna tell you why.
00:54:57Because I told the world,
00:55:00when Iron Man is retired,
00:55:02there's only a few things
00:55:04in life that are special,
00:55:06that make you get up and kiss your kids,
00:55:09say goodnight to your mom and dad for.
00:55:10When Iron Man is retired,
00:55:13I stood here,
00:55:15and I cried,
00:55:17because a man I loved,
00:55:19that was a bad apple,
00:55:21had to say goodbye,
00:55:23before he was supposed to.
00:55:25The second thing that's happened to me lately,
00:55:28is when I went home,
00:55:30from Dayton, Ohio,
00:55:32after wrestling you,
00:55:34God only knows,
00:55:35I didn't want to turn on that TV.
00:55:37Because I didn't want to see you out here going,
00:55:41Mean Gene,
00:55:42I beat Ric Flair,
00:55:44I tore him up,
00:55:45I showed him I was a man.
00:55:47Instead,
00:55:49you look at this great wrestling world,
00:55:53and you said I was the man.
00:55:55And you know what?
00:55:56For that,
00:55:58I will shake your hand,
00:56:00and you may not need to help along the way,
00:56:03because you're good, brother.
00:56:06But if you do need some help along the way,
00:56:09Ric Flair would love to walk that aisle,
00:56:13and style and profile with you.
00:56:19Hey,
00:56:20I think I've been sitting on the shelf a little too long,
00:56:23and I made one promise when I came to WCW,
00:56:29and that is that I'm gonna take the N-W-O,
00:56:32and tear them apart,
00:56:34brick by brick.
00:56:35And Kurt Henning,
00:56:40you wanna start stuff with me?
00:56:44That's fine with me,
00:56:45because I've been waiting a long time.
00:56:47Kurt Henning,
00:56:48I challenge you right here,
00:56:50right now,
00:56:51to a match at Uncensored.
00:56:52And I'm gonna start with you,
00:56:55and I'm gonna finish you once and for all.
00:57:00Brett, Brett, Brett, Brett,
00:57:01wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:57:03See this fat boy right here,
00:57:05this N-W-O boy?
00:57:06Guess where it is?
00:57:07It's right here, boy.
00:57:08Woo!
00:57:11Woo!
00:57:16Come on.
00:57:17Well, he's been nowhere set.
00:57:19Quite a moment in Nitro history,
00:57:21and a challenge made for Uncensored.
00:57:23Back for Sting, it's Scott Hall next.
00:57:26Woo!
00:57:26Ha ha!
00:57:28Ladies and gentlemen,
00:57:34it's time for the WCW Monday Nitro Main Event of the evening.
00:57:42The challenger from the Outsiders representing the N-W-O takes on the newly crowned
00:57:47champion Sting for the heavyweight championship of the world.
00:57:55Are you ready?
00:57:57Sacramento, California,
00:58:03for the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching around the world.
00:58:22Ladies and gentlemen,
00:58:24let's get ready to rumble!
00:58:30H-W-O!
00:58:36Making his way to the ring,
00:58:38wearing in at 270.
00:58:44And look at
00:58:46him all to get at the
00:58:59We're gonna go straight down,
00:59:06straight down, all the family business.
00:59:11My best friend, Scott Hall, is gonna get the meltdown on him.
00:59:17Did you see Scott Hall in that group anywhere or nowhere?
00:59:19It really looks strange seeing Steiner walk out with him, doesn't it?
00:59:23I don't see him any place.
00:59:25The whole game again, Bischoff came out pointed at Kevin Nash.
00:59:32And there's Nash, center there.
00:59:34There's, yeah, Steiner, you belong there.
00:59:43I told you guys, I told you.
00:59:45What? What'd you tell us?
00:59:47What?
00:59:48Don't be so confident for Sting.
00:59:50Something can happen to that man.
00:59:51We are enjoying our day, all right?
00:59:53Enjoy it. Let us enjoy it.
00:59:54Enjoy your 24 hours.
00:59:55You think he's gonna lose, huh?
00:59:57No, but I'm not- Is that what you think?
00:59:58No, but I'm not getting all worked up into a frenzy thinking he's gonna win.
01:00:02Now where is Scott Hall, who is scheduled to wrestle in this match?
01:00:05Somebody tell me right now.
01:00:07N-W-O, for life.
01:00:19Maybe he's gonna make the big- All right.
01:00:23All right, it is time.
01:00:28Stinger, Stinger, Stinger.
01:00:35We know what you're all about.
01:00:40Yeah, the world champion's what he's all about.
01:00:42Hollywood has forgiven you, quite frankly, he's just bored with you now.
01:00:47And looking forward to hooking up with the Macho Man.
01:00:51But tonight, tonight belongs to Scott Hall.
01:00:58A man who has worked hard, a man who is committed.
01:01:04And the man, my friend, that's going to take the world title away from you and
01:01:10bring it back to where it belongs.
01:01:14So Sting, if you've got one vertebrae in that noodle you call your spine,
01:01:21you need to come on down, join our little party,
01:01:26put your money where your mouth is and the title on the line.
01:01:32And give Scott Hall his just due.
01:01:36We'll leave, man.
01:01:37We'll leave, we'll leave.
01:01:39We promise, NWO Honor, that if you come out, show your face and
01:01:43you're by yourself, we'll leave.
01:01:49Say no more, ladies and gentlemen, the world champion has come out.
01:01:55I wouldn't walk into the ring with all those goons in there.
01:01:58Well, he is absolutely fearless, I think we've known that from day one.
01:02:02Well, then he's on a suicide mission.
01:02:08Standing firmly away from the ring, we've still not seen Scott Hall at all.
01:02:15So why don't all the jerks leave, like, well, you can't keep them at their word.
01:02:19NWO Honor, never thought I'd hear those two words used in the same sentence.
01:02:24Yep.
01:02:25Like Keenan and Nice Guy, far apart.
01:02:31Hogan has, and everybody else has left, and Hogan's in the rings.
01:02:37Do you see what I see?
01:02:41There are two.
01:02:43There's another sting.
01:02:44We haven't seen that in a long time.
01:02:49And this other sting is pounding sting on the back of the head,
01:02:53on the back with this baseball bat.
01:02:56It's Scott Hall.
01:02:56It's Scott Hall.
01:02:57What did I tell you?
01:03:01What did I tell you?
01:03:02Come on, take it like a man, Sting, come on.
01:03:05Steiner and Hennig, roll him in.
01:03:08Scott Hall came out.
01:03:09Look at this, they're gonna take him apart.
01:03:12That's what they're gonna do.
01:03:15Well, I've not seen a referee, nor have I seen any semblance of a match started here.
01:03:20But the purpose, there's the fall away slam.
01:03:22The purpose here has not been to win a title, I don't think.
01:03:29It's to dismantle the world champion.
01:03:32Sure, they're trying to injure, they're trying to hurt Sting, no question about it.
01:03:36I don't care how tough that man is, there's nothing he can do with ten guys in that ring.
01:03:40And here comes the Edge, outsider style.
01:03:45Sting is out.
01:03:48And Scott Hall came into the ring with the Sting mask on, and they have spray paint, guys.
01:03:54A little payback, more than a little payback for what went down last night.
01:04:00Into the ring.
01:04:06Savage.
01:04:07Comes Randy Savage.
01:04:08The most dangerous wrestler in the sport today.
01:04:11And Savage being viciously pounded on by all members of the NWO, but look at him fight.
01:04:17Well, it shows you how crazy he is, who would come into the ring with ten guys,
01:04:22members of the NWO, and attack him single-handedly, only Savage.
01:04:27Meanwhile, Scott Hall, choking Sting on the other side, Savage is being held.
01:04:31Look at that from the NWO member.
01:04:34The New York Order, in the wake of what happened last night, is in control once again.
01:04:40And now Hogan holds out his belt as they hold Savage.
01:04:44Who is this in the ring?
01:04:49Did you know that there's a new face in the ring with the NWO?
01:04:54We got a glimpse of him, but Savage being smacked around,
01:04:57being beaten here by members of his group, members of the NWO.
01:05:02You want to be the man?
01:05:03Sting still being choked.
01:05:05Come on.
01:05:07And now the spray paint.
01:05:08The NWO continues and goes back to their disgusting ways.
01:05:14Savage being held out by spray painting going on here.
01:05:20H.A. is a really good hokey, and we know that.
01:05:23Got a good hokey.
01:05:24Something's coming, something's coming.
01:05:25Something is coming, and they're scattering like bugs.
01:05:28It's over.
01:05:30Steel chair in hand.
01:05:31Come on.
01:05:32NWO bails out en masse.
01:05:36Once again, he comes out to save Sting, or was it Sting and the Macho Man?
01:05:41Who did he come out to save?
01:05:42That's the question, fans.
01:05:44We are out of time on A Wild Nitro.
01:05:47We'll see you Thursday live on TBS and Thunder.
