00:00:00Burger King, get your burger's worth at Burger King.
00:00:07Jam-packed in a fever pitch tonight, awaiting Sting and the Macho Man against Hollywood, Hogan and Scott Hall.
00:00:14Before we go back to action live here in the Spectrum in Philadelphia, we take you back to me, Gene Oakland, and the Nitro Girls at St. Joe's on campus.
00:00:25All right, we're off and running.
00:00:27Yes, we're back on campus.
00:00:30Look at these animals.
00:00:32All of them party animals like we've got here tonight.
00:00:34What is this?
00:00:35You have got to be.
00:00:38Is that for real?
00:00:39Ha, ha, ha.
00:00:40Having all kinds of fun today.
00:00:42By the way, I should remind you, this particular Nitro Party tonight being brought to you by the Hard Rock Cafe, Philadelphia.
00:00:50Folks, we've got subs, we've got chips, we've got goodies of all sorts.
00:00:54Take a look at that.
00:00:55Along with the Nitro Girls.
00:00:57I don't mind telling you, we've got just a little bit of everything here tonight, and we're having a great time.
00:01:03Next week, we're going to be at Duke.
00:01:04Two weeks from now, we are headed for the spring breakout at Panama City.
00:01:11With me right now, one of the Nitro Girls.
00:01:14Fire, what are we looking for when we hit Panama City two weeks away?
00:01:18Well, I know what I'm looking for, and that's three things.
00:01:21Walking on the water, laying on the beach, and looking for some men.
00:01:24Oh, wait a minute, sweetheart, you may not have to go that far.
00:01:28Kimberly, they are starting to, well, uh, kind of get to me a little bit here tonight.
00:01:35The Chow from the Hard Rock.
00:01:36How is it?
00:01:37Awesome.
00:01:38It's just scrumptious.
00:01:40On a scale of one to eight, on a scale of one to eight, give me a number.
00:01:44It's an 11th.
00:01:45It's an 11th.
00:01:46Oh, absolutely.
00:01:47I like it.
00:01:48Nitro Girls are dancing.
00:01:49Tony Schiavone, I know you're having fun at the Spectrum of the Tor State Center, but
00:01:54likewise, we're having fun on campus with the Nitro Party.
00:01:59Oh, yeah.
00:02:00Oh, yeah.
00:02:01You're right.
00:02:02We are all having fun, but pretty soon, it'll be down to serious business in the biggest
00:02:06tag team main event our sport's ever seen, live here tonight.
00:02:10Right now, we go back to Mike Tenet in the ring.
00:02:12Thank you, Tony.
00:02:15Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Philadelphia, the former five-time world heavyweight champion,
00:02:21Brett the Hitman Hart.
00:02:24Well, as we said earlier, in addition to the Sting Macho Man teaming tonight against Hollywood
00:02:31Hogan and Hall, Brett Hart will be making his wrestling debut on Nitro.
00:02:36What a night this is, and here he comes.
00:02:40Brett the Hitman Hart.
00:02:49Brett Hart, a couple of topics that we want to touch on.
00:02:52First off, March 15th at Uncensored, in a battle of the second generation wrestlers, you
00:02:59will face Kurt Hennig.
00:03:00And this past Thursday on Thunder, Kurt Hennig had some pretty derogatory remarks for you
00:03:05and your family.
00:03:07You know, the one thing about Kurt Hennig, you know, Kurt Hennig, we fought each other
00:03:12so many times, and I look forward to wrestling Kurt Hennig again, because you know what I've
00:03:18learned about the whole entire NWO is that they're a group of guys, a bunch of liars, a bunch
00:03:26of cheaters, and a bunch of bullies.
00:03:28And you know, I came to the WCW with one thing in mind, and that was to tear the NWO down brick
00:03:36by brick.
00:03:38And Kurt Hennig, I didn't come here to make money, I came here to make a difference.
00:03:44And what I'm going to do with you, Kurt Hennig, is prove to you and everybody else that you're
00:03:49not stronger than me, that you're not faster than me, and you're not better than me.
00:03:54And Kurt Hennig, the knees are fine, the hand is fine, and you're going to find out, in
00:04:01Uncensored, you're going to find out that I'm the best there is, the best there was, and
00:04:07the best there ever will be, and better yet, Kurt Hennig, I look forward to kicking his butt
00:04:15so bad, and I want him to know one thing, your dad never ever beat my dad ever, and he
00:04:22couldn't do it now, and he won't do it ever, and you're going to find out, just like he
00:04:26would, that I'm better than you.
00:04:28Brett, let's not look past tonight to Uncensored, because later this evening, here at Nitro,
00:04:33you will make your Nitro in-ring debut against the man that offered his hand in friendship,
00:04:39and then stabbed you in the back, and I speak of Bryan Adams.
00:04:44They smile on your face all the time, they want to take your place to call them the backstabbers.
00:04:48Well, you know, Bryan Adams, there's no way back forever, and you are going to pay, just
00:04:53like anybody else that wants to cross my path, you are going to pay, and tonight is the perfect
00:04:59night.
00:05:00There it is, Tony, Brett's heart, his ongoing battle continues with the NWO.
00:05:06And tonight, as Mike Tanae said, it will come full circle.
00:05:10Brett Hart will face a member of the NWO tonight on this program live in his in-ring debut wrestling.
00:05:16In addition, as this capacity crowd on hand awaits, Sting and the macho man Randy Savage
00:05:25together against Hollywood Hogan and Scott Hall.
00:05:28Bobby the Brain Heenan has joined us for the remainder of the year of the program.
00:05:32We saw Bryan, top of the program, the Italian NWO come out, to me, showing their support for
00:05:39Hollywood Hogan, but this bitter battle, this fight for supremacy within the NWO, obviously
00:05:47runs deeper than we first thought.
00:05:49We talked about the macho man, part of Harvard's Lampoon's real man of the year, being on later
00:05:58tomorrow night on NBC, then obviously it's getting to Hollywood Hogan.
00:06:01And we may see a battle like we've never seen in the history of this sport tonight, that
00:06:05this spectrum can't contain.
00:06:07Well, they've seen a lot of great battles and a lot of great sporting events in this
00:06:10building here.
00:06:11But you're right about that.
00:06:12There's so many egos here, so much involved.
00:06:14And I don't think winning's important anymore.
00:06:17Winning has been thrown out the window.
00:06:19Hogan wants to get his hands on Savage.
00:06:21Sting wants to get his hands on Hogan.
00:06:24Hall wants to get his hands on Sting.
00:06:25It could go so many different ways.
00:06:27No one can trust anyone.
00:06:29I wouldn't miss this match for anything.
00:06:31And that brings up another point, Michael, as Mike has joined us back at our broadcast
00:06:35location here.
00:06:35I wanted to get your opinion.
00:06:37We heard Sting actually do an interview with a microphone for the first time in almost two
00:06:44years.
00:06:44Now, he's come in, as you know, with one or two lines.
00:06:47But he came in.
00:06:48He said something about Scott Hall.
00:06:50But he made a very profound statement about doing it his way.
00:06:53I wonder in what will finally transpire tonight if he has walked into some sort of an NWO trap.
00:07:01Let's not forget that he's in the ring with three NWO members.
00:07:05Well, Tony, however, we know about the problems between Savage and Hogan.
00:07:09And Savage says that for this one night and this one night only, they will join forces.
00:07:15I think that Sting and Savage are going to make a terrific tag team.
00:07:18But Hogan has just tried to bring it down to personal issues between the two of them
00:07:22and their battle to take over the number one spot in the NWO.
00:07:26Two of the strongest men in our sport are going at it right here.
00:07:29The British Bulldog of WCW, Scott Norton of the New World Order.
00:07:34And what is we anticipated to be a heavy-hitting battle.
00:07:38And they're not disappointing at all.
00:07:39Now, the NWO, as we talked about earlier, recruited successfully Scott Steiner.
00:07:45Turned on his brother at Super Brawl.
00:07:47Thus, the Outsiders won the tag team belts.
00:07:49Will Scott Steiner's prediction he made Thursday come true here tonight?
00:07:53Will Rick Steiner also join the NWO?
00:07:56Did he get to his brother?
00:07:58Did he convince him the NWO was the right way to go?
00:08:00We don't know.
00:08:01But we hope to find out later on in this historic night of wrestling
00:08:06where Sting will be in the ring with three members of the NWO.
00:08:11This all-out war that's gripped our sport.
00:08:14We never thought we would see an NWO member and a WCW member on the same team.
00:08:20But fans, you don't have to wait much longer.
00:08:22It's going to happen here tonight.
00:08:23And there you go.
00:08:25Scott Norton's going to be fined for that.
00:08:27That's $5,000, isn't it?
00:08:29Not only that, it's going to be a disqualification.
00:08:31Mickey J is cheating off.
00:08:32He's going to throw this match out.
00:08:34I'm not so sure if it's a double count-out.
00:08:36But Scott Norton disqualified.
00:08:38But the bell is sounded.
00:08:39But the fight has not stopped here.
00:08:42Well, I think everybody knows this British Bulldog has always been considered
00:08:45one of the strongest and most competitive performers in our sport.
00:08:49And Norton is just one big, huge man.
00:08:53And they have not finished yet.
00:08:55As referees and officials come out to try to restore some order,
00:08:59we've got to take a break.
00:09:00We're back with more live from Philadelphia and Nitro.
00:09:03Good to be a brotherly love.
00:09:05You would think, huh?
00:09:07Fans, we're back live here on Nitro.
00:09:09And let's talk about tonight.
00:09:11We've talked about the battle of the egos.
00:09:13But let's talk about the heart of the matter in the world heavyweight title.
00:09:16Hogan came out earlier in this program.
00:09:19He's always made, ever since Super Bowl, a lot of excuses about losing to Sting in that
00:09:24world title match in San Francisco.
00:09:25Also pointing to the macho man, Randy Savage, being the cause of losing the world title.
00:09:32Well, tonight, they will try to settle their issues.
00:09:34Or will they?
00:09:35Sting and the macho man unprecedented together tonight, Brain, against the team of Hollywood
00:09:40Hogan and Scott Hall.
00:09:41Well, Hogan can't take it.
00:09:43All Hollywood, all the movie industry, the media, all they want is Savage.
00:09:47Now, you can tell by the parades.
00:09:49You can tell by the television shows he's doing.
00:09:50He'll be doing movies.
00:09:51He does commercials.
00:09:52Hogan can't take that.
00:09:54Hogan can visualize Savage there having his hands and footprints put in the cement while
00:09:58Hogan maybe goes by on a bus with his nose pressed against the window and saying,
00:10:02gee, I wish that was me.
00:10:03Combine that, Mike, today with the fact that he no longer is the world heavyweight champion.
00:10:07Well, Tony, that just plays into this big main event tag team matchup, the historic battle
00:10:12that we've been waiting for.
00:10:14And as we said earlier, the 2nd of March in 1998 will go down as our biggest Nitro ever.
00:10:20And we're so glad that you could be a part of this Monday night live on TNT.
00:10:25And we're so thrilled as broadcasters to be able to say that we were a part of it.
00:10:30And I say that because I never thought when this war broke out and we have seen the war
00:10:36fluctuate to a misproportions.
00:10:39We have seen the war turn towards WCW, turn towards the NWO.
00:10:45They've always used the moniker to handle for life.
00:10:49They have never said, though, that the Macho Man through all these problems was thrown out
00:10:53in the NWO because they believe in for life.
00:10:57But never did we ever think we would see Sting team with a member of the New World Order.
00:11:03Fans, that will happen tonight.
00:11:04And, of course, they all want to talk.
00:11:06Orale!
00:11:07They all want to talk, don't they?
00:11:09I like the hat.
00:11:10Dije, orale!
00:11:12Orale!
00:11:14Arriba la raza!
00:11:16Arriba la raza!
00:11:18Everybody in Philly, big ups to Philly!
00:11:22I want everybody to know that I'm abouty about it.
00:11:25I always kick the reels.
00:11:27So, Juventud Guerrera, in case you didn't know, I got him his job here in WCW.
00:11:33And how do you pay me back?
00:11:35You lose your mask.
00:11:37You give up.
00:11:38I thought you had more heart and courage.
00:11:40So, to me, you're just a punk mark buster.
00:11:44Juventud Guerrera, you're gonna have to pay the price.
00:11:47You had the gall to put Never Surrender on your trunks.
00:11:51You're gonna pay for that.
00:11:53You're no longer raza.
00:11:55Arriba la raza!
00:11:57Well, obviously, even though he's a member of the NWO, Conan has taken very personally
00:12:01about Juventud losing his mask, Mike.
00:12:04Well, and what Conan says is accurate.
00:12:06Conan is the man that brought Juventud Guerrera to World Championship Wrestling.
00:12:10Yes, Juventud Guerrera submitted to Chris Jericho's Lion Tamer at Super Brawl.
00:12:16But I think we saw, as Juventud mentioned, a new beginning for his career earlier this
00:12:21evening.
00:12:22Super Calo will come in for this next matchup.
00:12:24Well, you know, we've talked so much about Uncensored and the gigantic cage match that will confine
00:12:30Hollywood Hogan and the Macho Man on Sunday, March 15th.
00:12:34The event is in Mobile.
00:12:35Ticket to the Civic Center box office and ticket matcher.
00:12:38The event, of course, on that Sunday will be our pay-per-view spectacular Uncensored.
00:12:42And we've talked so much, wondering if the cage is big enough to hold Hogan and Savitz.
00:12:47But I wonder if this legendary spectrum is big enough to hold what we have for you later
00:12:53on in the third hour when Sting and the Macho Man will face Hogan and Scott Hall.
00:12:59That is coming up.
00:13:00And, Mike, we understand we have another big announcement to give our fans right now.
00:13:04Yeah, just another huge one, Tony.
00:13:05The WCW Executive Committee has ruled that there's only one way to settle the three-way
00:13:11war between Diamond, Dallas, Paige, Chris Benoit, and Raven.
00:13:15And that is also going to be March the 15th at Uncensored when the three of them will meet
00:13:21in a match that is being called a Triple Jeopardy crowd.
00:13:25All three men involved, Paige, Benoit, and Raven, a three-way matchup at Uncensored.
00:13:31I think it's very dangerous for Raven because I think Benoit and Diamond Dallas will work together
00:13:38to do a number.
00:13:41But then I don't know the real rules, but then I would think they would have to go against each other.
00:13:45It's got to be every man for himself.
00:13:47I think it would be all three.
00:13:48I don't know.
00:13:49We're going to have to find out from the Executive Committee.
00:13:51We will have the update of those rules as they become available to us here on possibly Night's Road,
00:13:56Thunder on Thursday, or even WCW Saturday night.
00:13:59But it all has the makings for an incredible event coming up at Uncensored on Sunday the 15th of this month.
00:14:05A cover, one, two.
00:14:07And we have a two-count.
00:14:08Of course, it's a big month in the sports world, as you know, with March Madness and the NCAAs.
00:14:13But this is our biggest night.
00:14:16This is our championship night in many ways.
00:14:23Conan sends Kolo on the back.
00:14:25And, you know, Conan is...
00:14:28Oh, wait a minute.
00:14:29Has Kolo...
00:14:30Dropped him down on his head.
00:14:32Cradle DDT just spiked him in the middle of the ring.
00:14:36I hope Hooventud is watching.
00:14:38Well, I'm sure he is after Conan said what he said about Hooventud being unmasked.
00:14:45The Tequila Sunrise is on.
00:14:48And Conan, who has taken exception to Hooventud losing the mask, is now...
00:14:54Oh, looks like...
00:14:55Is he going to try to unmask Kolo here?
00:14:57Sure, let's take a look at him.
00:15:00This wasn't a match where the mask was at stake.
00:15:02And now Hooventud is coming to confront...
00:15:04You're not a rata, Conan.
00:15:05You're not a rata.
00:15:06You're not a rata, you're not a rata.
00:15:09I'm a rata.
00:15:10And I want to fight with you.
00:15:12When you want, let me show you my...
00:15:14Thank you, with you.
00:15:16You want a match?
00:15:17Next week, I'll give you a match.
00:15:20And if you're lucky, I may even give you an audition with the Nitro Girl.
00:15:24Oh, my goodness.
00:15:26A challenge for a match and acceptance.
00:15:29I want a match with you.
00:15:31And a little bit of insult to injury as well.
00:15:34From Conan.
00:15:35Never so bad.
00:15:36Never so bad.
00:15:37The countdown continues to sting.
00:15:40And the Macho Man in a tag team war against Hogan and Hall.
00:15:43Tonight, live on Nitro.
00:15:46Okay, fans, welcome back to Nitro.
00:15:48Jam-packed to the Rafters in Philadelphia,
00:15:51awaiting the biggest tag team match our sport's ever seen.
00:15:54We're going to take you to Mike today in a special interview.
00:15:57Before we go there, let's take you back to Nitro.
00:15:59And a few weeks ago, right here on this television program.
00:16:02I want you to know, Brett, you still have a friend in this business.
00:16:10I want your back anytime, anywhere, brother.
00:16:14In fact, Hulk Hogan, if you're out there, if you want a piece of this man, go through me.
00:16:22Oh, that's Bryan Adams in the ring.
00:16:26Let me give you a hand, brother.
00:16:29Oh, wait a minute now, just a second.
00:16:32This, this man, we know this man from the past.
00:16:35No secret about it.
00:16:36He is none other than Bryan, Bryan Adams.
00:16:40Hey, I don't know.
00:16:41He was holding on to Bret Hart, and he held on to Bret Hart as the NWO came in.
00:16:47Bret Hart, taking care of the NWO.
00:16:51Just a hug and a ring.
00:16:54Here's some WCW unity to answer the NWO.
00:16:58You're not kidding us.
00:16:59A little match Bret Hart and Ric Flair had just a short time ago.
00:17:06Well, they may have had their ABC Thieves of the War, but WCW has taken the fight right back to Hollywood Hogan.
00:17:14It is Hinton.
00:17:17Together again, WCW, Ric Flair this time with Bret Hart.
00:17:22The man who wrote that album, and now it's going through him right now.
00:17:26He once again is lost around the neck of Hollywood Hogan right now, worse than anything he's ever done.
00:17:32I'm telling you that.
00:17:33Philadelphia, it's a Monday Nitro tradition.
00:17:38Here is the 13-time World Heavyweight Champion.
00:17:43He's the nature boy, Ric Flair.
00:17:45You know, it's only fitting that Ric Flair would be here live tonight.
00:17:49On such a big night when the course of wrestling history could be dramatically changed.
00:17:55You know, it's funny, Tony.
00:17:57You told me that the course of wrestling was going to change in 98, and every week it does.
00:18:03I didn't think it would take so soon, though.
00:18:06As a matter of fact, I never thought that NWO and WCW would be on the same tag team,
00:18:11and that's why I look into tonight's event with a lot of optimism, a lot of excitement,
00:18:18but I'm very cautious about what may go down.
00:18:20Well, here he is.
00:18:22They love him in this city.
00:18:24He has been here many times at the World Camp.
00:18:26We have seen him, though, recently, and as you saw a moment ago,
00:18:30come to the aid of one breath to Hitman Hart.
00:18:33And he's in the ring now.
00:18:34Ready?
00:18:35Look at there.
00:18:35Bowing to the one and only Ric Flair.
00:18:39Ready to talk to Iron Mike today.
00:18:41Mike, go ahead.
00:18:42Ric Flair, it's great to be back in one of the true sports capitals of the United States,
00:18:54Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
00:18:57Michael Teney, Philadelphia, PA.
00:19:03Hello, the nature boys in town and ready to go.
00:19:11Woo!
00:19:13What I want to know is, why is Mean Gene at the party over at St. Joseph and the nature boys here?
00:19:22I'll tell you why.
00:19:23Because tonight, in a short period of time, Stinger, Savage, Hogan, Hall,
00:19:31I want to be firsthand to see it go down.
00:19:34Woo!
00:19:35Woo!
00:19:35Rick Flair marched the 15th at Uncensored.
00:19:41Brett the Hitman Hart, who I know you certainly have a tremendous amount of respect for,
00:19:47will face Kurt Hennig.
00:19:49Did you ever think you'd see the day that I'd stand here in Philadelphia
00:19:53and tell you, I hope Bret Hart does something right and win?
00:19:59Uh-oh.
00:20:00Never.
00:20:02Oh, my.
00:20:02He's getting some visitors here, and it doesn't look good, guys.
00:20:07N-W-O.
00:20:10And that is a walk with purpose right there.
00:20:19I think the Pittsburgh Penguins are in the building,
00:20:25and Jager wants to talk to Lindros.
00:20:28Is that true?
00:20:29Woo!
00:20:29Woo!
00:20:30Woo!
00:20:30Woo!
00:20:30Woo!

00:21:02Woo!
00:21:03Woo!
00:21:04Woo!
00:21:05Woo!
00:21:06Woo!
00:21:07Woo!
00:21:08If Rude will stand on the floor, and it's just you and me,
00:21:14I don't need Bret Hart, Daddy-O.
00:21:19He's ready.
00:21:21Hey, hey, I'm talking to you, Jagr.
00:21:24Tonight, I'm Eric Lindros, Daddy.
00:21:27Well, we've got a challenge, and we're going to have an impromptu match here.
00:21:31There's no referee in the ring, but heck, who needs one?
00:21:33Here we go.
00:21:34This is Nitro. It doesn't matter.
00:21:36And this is a fight.
00:21:37Flair, combination, right, left.
00:21:40He's going to beat him out.
00:21:44Rock in the head back with those trademark knife-inch shots.
00:21:49But Hennig goes to the eyes.
00:21:51Ric Flair and Kurt Hennig, in what was just a Flair interview,
00:21:57has turned into an impromptu matchup.
00:22:00Two of the greats, and they're not backing down at all.
00:22:03What a night!
00:22:05What a night!
00:22:06What a night!
00:22:07Get up, Kurt!
00:22:09Chopped to Flair.
00:22:11Flair back to a corner.
00:22:14Into the corner, upside down goes Ric Flair.
00:22:17He ducked a close line.
00:22:18And down goes Hennig.
00:22:24And up goes Ric Flair.
00:22:27Now Mike Tanae has now joined us back.
00:22:32Flair will not back down from a challenge, and it seemed to me this is exactly what the NW wanted.
00:22:38They wanted Flair to have some sort of confrontation, and he's taking the fight right to him here, Mike.
00:22:43Well, I'm sure that was the case, Tony.
00:22:45You talk about an emotional evening.
00:22:47Emotions are at a fever pitch right now between Flair and Hennig.
00:22:51Uh-oh, uh-oh.
00:22:51Here comes Rude.
00:22:52Oh, Rude got him.
00:22:53Now those, they go back a long time in history, these two.
00:22:56Ric Rude and Kurt Hennig.
00:22:57They went to school together.
00:22:59They grew up together.
00:23:00And they always flock together.
00:23:01And they're members of the NWO together.
00:23:03That's right.
00:23:03And here they go.
00:23:05Flair said, if you can keep Rude out of the ring, I'll take it to you.
00:23:08You obviously knew that would not happen.
00:23:12The Hennigplex, or the Fisherman Suplex, as we've called it, is on.
00:23:17And I guess Rude's going to make the count.
00:23:18One, two, three.
00:23:21Well, that counts for nothing.
00:23:24They're not done with him yet.
00:23:26No, they're not.
00:23:27Remember, the NWO came out en masse together in the limousines.
00:23:32And a firm show of support for Hollywood Hogan tonight.
00:23:35As he and Scott Hall will take on Sting and the macho man Randy Savage.
00:23:39But the NWO not finished making a statement right here to Ric Flair.
00:23:44And they're taking turns with Ric Flair.
00:23:46Making a statement and trying to prove a point.
00:23:48And here comes the hitman, Bret Hart.
00:23:50Well, Bret Hart gets here a little bit too late because Flair's been laid out.
00:23:53But he did come out to help Ric Flair.
00:23:56Finally chasing away the NWO.
00:23:59Well, they definitely did a number.
00:24:01The combination of Curt Hennig and Rick Rude.
00:24:05NWO.
00:24:05On Ric Flair.
00:24:07I think he's out, fans.
00:24:08Back with more on an intense nitro.
00:24:10He's right where he is.
00:24:11We've got Sting.
00:24:15We've got the Macho Man.
00:24:16They're teaming up against Hogan and Hall.
00:24:19They're going to be in the main event on that nitro tonight.
00:24:22Sting, watch that crazy man Macho Man.
00:24:25He can't be trusted.
00:24:26If you need any help, I'm in the back.
00:24:28In the dog pile.
00:24:29Just watching it.
00:24:30Sting, just give me the call.
00:24:32Who?
00:24:32Who?
00:24:32Who?
00:24:33Who?
00:24:33Who?
00:24:33We have come down to the final hour.
00:24:38Ladies and gentlemen, hang on a few moments longer.
00:24:42But in this third hour, history in this sport will be made.
00:24:47The biggest night in professional wrestling.
00:24:49It's here.
00:24:50It's at the Spectrum.
00:24:53And we're going to break away from the action momentarily to take you to St.
00:24:56Joseph once again, live with me and Gina, the Nitro Girls.
00:25:00We are back live.
00:25:02Of course, WG is called for the Spring Break, sponsored by First Gum, the Agata Bite Cookers.
00:25:09The animals are out tonight, right here.
00:25:12The road to Spring Break continues next Monday as we invade Duke University, the home of the
00:25:17Blue Devils, and of course, the number one basketball team in the entire world.
00:25:22Fun to advance, followed by Monday Night for Live in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
00:25:27From there, we travel to the ultimate spring break next to the nation as TNT, WCW, and First Gum
00:25:33take over the beaches of Panama City Beach, Florida.
00:25:37The weekend begins March 14th and culminates with Monday live from Club La Vila.
00:25:44Get ready.
00:25:45March 14th through 16th is when WCW, TNT, and First Gum invade the beach at the Holiday Inn
00:25:51Sunspree for a weekend of activities for all college spring break students, and of course,
00:25:57a chance to win some of that big money.
00:25:59I'm going to bring in the Hawk.
00:26:01Named, I guess, Mascot of the Year recently by Sports Illustrated.
00:26:06That's correct.
00:26:06Yes, you know, across town and temple, they've got an owl.
00:26:09What happens if the hawk and the owl get together?
00:26:12What kind of a bird of prey would we have then?
00:26:14Who knows?
00:26:15Of course, the Nitro Girls are here, and it is party, party, party for us all night long.
00:26:21Tony, Bobby the brand weasel, I wish you were here.
00:26:25By the way, quick reminder, keep sending in your Nitro Party videos.
00:26:29We are qualified to win the second grand prize giveaway soon.
00:26:33This means Nitro Girls at your house.
00:26:36And does that mean a party or what?
00:26:39Well, I'll tell you one thing.
00:26:46I don't mind that feather dress on the girl, but you see the beak on her.
00:26:50All right, stop it.
00:26:51Now, any time you hear the NWO music, you hear the NWO theme song, and you wonder.
00:27:00Oh, no.
00:27:02But you look here.
00:27:03This has become very interesting to me.
00:27:05to see where this man's going to go and how he's going to destroy or make his family.
00:27:11Think about it.
00:27:13Rick Steiner, without him, there is no Steiner.
00:27:16But he's NWO now.
00:27:18Rick Steiner's a very accomplished singles wrestler.
00:27:21And I'm sure that World Championship Wrestling as an organization
00:27:24would love to keep Rick Steiner in the fold.
00:27:27Was he successful, though, at convincing his brother
00:27:31to step over to the side of the New World Order?
00:27:36Well, the intensity continues toward our big main event tonight.
00:27:43Scott Steiner, Hotsaw Jim Duggan.
00:27:47Half-board will travel.
00:27:50Oh!
00:27:54Claims to be the world's greatest America.
00:27:57Here's what happened last week.
00:27:58Lex Luger had called out Scott Steiner.
00:28:01He had a match with Kurt Hennig.
00:28:02This is how the program started out in Sacramento.
00:28:05And here came Scott Steiner, going right to the ribcage that had been injured, pounding Lex Luger down.
00:28:12Scott Steiner and Lex Luger will go at it.
00:28:16And uncensored on the 15th of March.
00:28:19And Scott Steiner, obviously, a man that Buff Bagwell Thursday called White Thunder,
00:28:25is a man the NWO can trust, depend on, and he has only made the New World Order even stronger, guys.
00:28:33And Tony, as you can attest, through the years, the Steiner brothers and Lex Luger have been almost inseparable on the road.
00:28:41You see them together in hotels, you see them on airplanes, and in restaurants.
00:28:47It's almost as if Scott Steiner, Scott Steiner has not only stabbed his own brother in the back,
00:28:53but also another member of his family, and Lex Luger, those two will collide at uncensored.
00:28:58Now Scott Steiner wasting no time hammering Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
00:29:02Scott Steiner, look at that.
00:29:04Now Duggan, big, brawling man.
00:29:08Cannot even get him off his feet.
00:29:10Steiner's, he's demanding to come at him again.
00:29:12Scott Steiner, he kind of backed up on that one.
00:29:16Van Bust goes over the top rope, and his head hit the floor very, very hard.
00:29:22Oh, my.
00:29:25Absolutely breathless what has happened here tonight.
00:29:28And we're not done yet.
00:29:29We are.
00:29:29There's a lot more.
00:29:30We still got the biggest one ever to come tonight on this program.
00:29:37Duggan ducked the clothesline, and Duggan sent him down hard.
00:29:42What a third hour of Nitro this is going to be, Tony,
00:29:44because in addition to that tag team dream matchup,
00:29:48Bret the Hitman Hart will make his Nitro in-ring debut.
00:29:52Double underhook by Scott Steiner.
00:29:57Drove him down hard.
00:30:00Look at the NWO fans here at ringside.
00:30:04There's a lot of them here.
00:30:06Yeah, there really are.
00:30:07There's a lot of WCW fans, a lot of NWO fans,
00:30:10torn right down the middle, coming up.
00:30:13I wonder who they're going to cheer for.
00:30:16You know, it was obvious with the NWO coming up in the limousines
00:30:21that the members of the NWO were behind Hogan.
00:30:24But I wonder, fan-wise, NWO fans, will they be for Hogan?
00:30:28Will they be for Savage?
00:30:29That's a good question that we're going to find out in a mere moments here live on Nitro.
00:30:37I think they're going to be for Savage.
00:30:39You really do?
00:30:40Yeah.
00:30:40Even though he's teaming with a member of WCW?
00:30:44But Hogan is so hated over the world.
00:30:47They want to see, the fans want to see,
00:30:50they don't care who it is, get their hands on Hogan.
00:30:51Well, let's talk about pecking order.
00:30:54Let's talk about ego.
00:30:55So Scott Hall, you know, he's not really well-liked either.
00:30:57The course of the NWO could change here tonight in this tag team match.
00:31:04Scott Steiner is just pounding away,
00:31:06much like we saw with Scott Steiner moments ago, guys.
00:31:09Duggan just will not go down.
00:31:11Two men who you can't hurt going at it here.
00:31:13If anybody can knock you down, Duggan can knock you down.
00:31:16No, this is just the physical battle that we expected from these two big men.
00:31:23Tony, you know the Steiners real well.
00:31:25Who was the, you thought you did.
00:31:28I mean, who's the spokesman?
00:31:29Who was the logic?
00:31:30Who had the brains?
00:31:31Who made the decisions?
00:31:32You know, I always thought, side of the head,
00:31:35it was obvious that on the interviews that Scott was the leader,
00:31:38but there was something about Rick Steiner,
00:31:41a calming influence he had on Scott,
00:31:43the logical influence he had on Scott.
00:31:46Rick barks a lot, I don't know,
00:31:48and he seems very, very odd,
00:31:49but there's a lot more to Rick Steiner
00:31:52than just barking and running around the ring.
00:31:54Well, you'd bark a lot, too,
00:31:55if you had three squares a day of Elpo.
00:31:58Thank you for nothing.
00:31:59Right into the corner,
00:32:00and moving down the way is,
00:32:03and I've often thought that Rick was the leader here,
00:32:06but Scott seems to feel he can get his brother
00:32:08to become a part of this NWO.
00:32:10What a coup that would be for Steiner's, Mike.
00:32:12That would be huge, Tony,
00:32:13because not only would it reinforce the NWO,
00:32:18but it would decimate World Championship Wrestling
00:32:20in terms of that great tag team force,
00:32:22and now that Scott Steiner has been lost to the NWO,
00:32:25Rick Steiner is going to be a force in singles competition as well.
00:32:28Yeah, I think you could say,
00:32:29regardless, the tag team superiority
00:32:32has been decimated really anyway.
00:32:34Well, you saw Rick the last time
00:32:36he got in the ring with Vincent.
00:32:38He wasn't a Steiner like I've ever seen before.
00:32:40He went right after him.
00:32:41He beat on that man.
00:32:43It was hard to stop him.
00:32:45Almost like a combination reverse chinlock
00:32:47and a camel clutch here,
00:32:48although he just pulled it up,
00:32:49and Mickey J.
00:32:49Oh, he told me this when he calls it now.
00:32:52This is called the Steiner recliner.
00:32:54The Steiner recliner.
00:32:55He walked by me in the hall.
00:32:56He says,
00:32:56I'm going to slap Duggan if I get a chance
00:32:59and break his neck and his back,
00:33:00and it's called the Steiner recliner,
00:33:02and I'll put it on him in 30 seconds.
00:33:04Well, it took him a little longer.
00:33:05I'll tell you,
00:33:06with those arms and that massive chest
00:33:08of Scott Steiner,
00:33:10when you're put in this Steiner recliner,
00:33:12obviously you are going to give up.
00:33:14Well, Steiner gets a win.
00:33:16We still have to come tonight.
00:33:18Don't go away.
00:33:19Sting will team with the Macho Man
00:33:21against Togan and Hall live tonight.
00:33:27What's up, Baltimore?
00:33:28I'll tell you what's up, Baltimore.

00:35:09Top to bottom,
00:35:10escaping up
00:35:10for a very intense night
00:35:12and you wonder
00:35:12how much more intense
00:35:14can you get
00:35:15than what we have felt
00:35:16here tonight.
00:35:17And I think fitting
00:35:18this venue,
00:35:19you talked about it,
00:35:19Brain, earlier,
00:35:20this venue has seen
00:35:21some great matches.
00:35:22Oh, no doubt about it.
00:35:24This spectrum has seen
00:35:25some of the greatest
00:35:26matchups ever.
00:35:27What?
00:35:28Me!
00:35:30I like him.
00:35:32I know you do.
00:35:32You know,
00:35:33I told all of you
00:35:35adoring Jericho-holics
00:35:36last week
00:35:37that I want to change
00:35:39the name of this program
00:35:40from WCW Monday Nitro
00:35:42to WCW Monday Jericho.
00:35:47And tonight,
00:35:49my first guest
00:35:50on WCW Monday Nitro
00:35:53is the incredible,
00:35:55the incomparable,
00:35:57steady Eddie Guerrero.
00:36:02And when you're finished
00:36:04watching us,
00:36:05you ain't never,
00:36:07ever going to want
00:36:08to see anybody else again.
00:36:09Thank you!
00:36:14Yeah, you would,
00:36:15you would like a jerk, Brain.
00:36:16Come on, let's hear it
00:36:16for Jericho!
00:36:17There's a lot of talent
00:36:18in that ring right there.
00:36:19Okay, I understand that.
00:36:21But he's a jerk.
00:36:22Okay?
00:36:23You think he's a jerk.
00:36:24Well, I think I'm not
00:36:25the only one here.
00:36:26I think there are millions
00:36:27of fans out there as well.
00:36:28Well, the match will,
00:36:29this big return match
00:36:30will get underway.
00:36:31And you know,
00:36:32you can see now,
00:36:33I've seen,
00:36:34I've seen various wrestlers
00:36:36around the entranceway.
00:36:38They're all,
00:36:38I can tell you now,
00:36:39when Sting and the Macho Man
00:36:41come out here
00:36:41in our tag team match
00:36:42later on
00:36:43against Hollywood Hogan
00:36:44and Scott Hall,
00:36:45you're going to see wrestlers
00:36:46come out and start
00:36:46taking some seats
00:36:47that any seat they can find
00:36:49around here,
00:36:49looking through the curtains.
00:36:51They all want to see
00:36:52what's going to happen
00:36:52and how it's going to be
00:36:53received by these fans.
00:36:55I still think
00:36:56that we're going to see
00:36:58the most intense,
00:37:01the wildest,
00:37:02the wildest,
00:37:02most violent battle
00:37:03we've ever seen
00:37:04on this program.
00:37:05we're going to see
00:37:05later on here tonight.
00:37:06Hey, look at Jericho.
00:37:08He's got a Hoobintu's mask
00:37:09tied around his neck
00:37:10like a trophy.
00:37:13In Mexico,
00:37:15when you defeat
00:37:15your opponent
00:37:17and take his mask,
00:37:18you are allowed possession
00:37:19of that mask.
00:37:20Jericho's just taking it
00:37:21to the extreme, though,
00:37:22by showing this trophy off.
00:37:24But can't you also
00:37:24take their ears off?
00:37:26No, no.
00:37:27It's a wrong sport.
00:37:28Don't.
00:37:29Oh, would you please
00:37:30stop it
00:37:30into the corner?
00:37:33Jericho, mask in tow
00:37:34with a missile dropkick.
00:37:36Mike's lead on.
00:37:37How about with just one ear?
00:37:40Never mind.
00:37:42Never mind
00:37:43is the correct term there.
00:37:45And here comes
00:37:45Eddie Guerrero.
00:37:46I tell you,
00:37:46Eddie,
00:37:47you can't deny
00:37:48Eddie,
00:37:48cruiserweight champ,
00:37:49U.S. heavyweight champ.
00:37:51If he becomes
00:37:52the TV champ,
00:37:53it'll be quite a accomplishment
00:37:54if he'd kind of like
00:37:55be a triple crown for him.
00:37:57They're working great
00:37:58as a tag team.
00:37:59Well, they were.
00:38:00Well, great athletes
00:38:01will do that.
00:38:02How about that?
00:38:02They ran together, though.
00:38:04And speaking of working great
00:38:06is a tag team,
00:38:07Malenko and Booker T.
00:38:10Yeah, just as quickly
00:38:11as they were working
00:38:12great together,
00:38:13the advantage switches
00:38:14and the momentum
00:38:15is in the favor of Malenko
00:38:16and Booker T.
00:38:17Oh, my goodness.
00:38:17It looked like a nursery school
00:38:19at recess that time,
00:38:20didn't it?
00:38:21On their knees,
00:38:22embracing,
00:38:23and then running
00:38:23out of the building.
00:38:24But it's saving them
00:38:25from getting their tails kicked.
00:38:27More.
00:38:29Right now, it did.
00:38:31But that's all important
00:38:31is right now.
00:38:32Yeah, they've got to get
00:38:33back in the ring.
00:38:35Early in.
00:38:37Very impressed with Guerrero.
00:38:39What ability that man has.
00:38:41Oh, you are, huh?
00:38:41You like how he runs away
00:38:42from competition?
00:38:43What happens when the quarterback
00:38:44runs to the sideline
00:38:45so he won't get creamed?
00:38:47They applaud.
00:38:47What a brilliant move.
00:38:48They don't call him a coward.
00:38:49No, I know.
00:38:53I'm not going to get
00:38:53into an argument with you.
00:38:54I'm going to call the match.
00:38:55Here we go.
00:38:56On this.
00:38:57Oh, this is.
00:38:58Look at this.
00:39:00Begging off Booker T.
00:39:01Booker T needs to remain
00:39:03focused, however.
00:39:04He is.
00:39:05Clenching the hand
00:39:06of Eddie Guerrero.
00:39:07Forearm shot.
00:39:08Rocking the head
00:39:09of Guerrero back.
00:39:10Into the ropes we go.
00:39:11Eddie through the legs.
00:39:13Drop kicking Booker T
00:39:14on the knee.
00:39:14That's a great move, guys.
00:39:16And that's one of the
00:39:16real aspects where Jericho
00:39:18and Guerrero have the
00:39:19advantage over Booker T,
00:39:21that being the quickness
00:39:22department, and they
00:39:23certainly took advantage
00:39:24of it that time.
00:39:25Do not forget tonight,
00:39:26not only Sting and the
00:39:27Macho Man together in the
00:39:29biggest tag team match
00:39:30in the history of
00:39:31professional wrestling
00:39:32that you will see here
00:39:33tonight, but as we've
00:39:35said many times,
00:39:36Bret the Hitman Hart
00:39:36makes his in-ring wrestling
00:39:38debut on Nitro.
00:39:41He will face Brian Adams
00:39:42of the NWO.
00:39:43But top and Eddie.
00:39:44And remember what
00:39:47Bret Hart said, he's
00:39:48going to take the NWO
00:39:49apart, brick by brick.
00:39:51So I guess Brian Adams
00:39:52is the first big brick
00:39:54in the NWO.
00:39:55Forearm shot by Booker T.
00:39:57Laid Eddie out, but
00:39:58Booker T does not make
00:39:59a cover here.
00:40:00He's looking to make
00:40:01a tag.
00:40:01Well, you can safely say,
00:40:04or definitely say, I
00:40:05guess the proper term,
00:40:06that all enemies of the
00:40:07NWO are here tonight,
00:40:10including Bret Hart,
00:40:11Ric Flair, Sting,
00:40:13and certainly, if you're
00:40:14Hollywood Hogan, the
00:40:16Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:40:18Drop toehold and a great
00:40:19move by Malenko.
00:40:21The Iceman will send
00:40:22Eddie in.
00:40:23Oh, that's great agility
00:40:24by Guerrero.
00:40:26Eddie Guerrero looking the
00:40:27wrong way.
00:40:28Kicked in the back of the
00:40:29head.
00:40:30Wouldn't hurt to have a
00:40:30rearview mirror there,
00:40:31would it?
00:40:32Can't get one, Brain.
00:40:33Not here.
00:40:33Here's a vertical suplex.
00:40:35You can get all kinds of
00:40:36parts here in Philly.
00:40:38Not the tailpipe.
00:40:39Would you stop it?
00:40:41Oh, that time he held the
00:40:43middle rope, did Malenko
00:40:45and Guerrero up on top as
00:40:47Jericho slides on the
00:40:48outside.
00:40:50Booker T spins up.
00:40:52They love it.
00:40:53But he missed a standing
00:40:54sidekick.
00:40:56He and Eddie go outside.
00:40:59Both men crashing over the
00:41:00top rope down to the floor.
00:41:02And remember, we no longer
00:41:03have that over-the-top rule
00:41:04here, you can throw a man
00:41:05over-the-top and I like it.
00:41:06We announced that Thursday
00:41:07on Thunder, the over-the-top
00:41:09rope, the qualification was
00:41:10no more in WCW and Dean
00:41:12Malenko slammed him down.
00:41:15Uh-oh.
00:41:15Dean Malenko's, he may have
00:41:17him for the Texas Gloverleaf.
00:41:18Eddie trying to get back in.
00:41:19Booker T, he comes up.
00:41:21Ring that bell.
00:41:23Ring that bell.
00:41:24How about that?
00:41:25Great teamwork.
00:41:26Booker T held off Eddie
00:41:28Guerrero.
00:41:29And had this been for the
00:41:30belt, we would have a new
00:41:31Cruiserweight camp.
00:41:32You saw it on Nitro.
00:41:34The Cruiserweight champion
00:41:35tapped out.
00:41:36He gave up.
00:41:38Still a lot more to come
00:41:40on the biggest night in the
00:41:42history of Monday Nitro.
00:41:44Oh, yeah.
00:41:44Eddie Guerrero getting ready.
00:41:46You're going down,
00:41:47something.
00:41:55Look at the spectrum.
00:41:56They are jammed in every
00:41:57seat possible here.
00:41:59Preparing for what will go
00:42:01down at, we've been saying,
00:42:04the historic, biggest, but
00:42:06let's also say most important
00:42:07night.
00:42:09And I really think that
00:42:11steps could be taken tonight
00:42:13on this program.
00:42:15Could be taken in the
00:42:18destruction of the NWO.
00:42:19And wouldn't it be logical
00:42:23that if anything destroys this
00:42:25New World Order, it would be
00:42:27ego.
00:42:28That's what they're built on.
00:42:29That's too sweet.
00:42:30Inner turmoil from the
00:42:31New World Order.
00:42:32And you're right, Tony,
00:42:33calling it the most important
00:42:34Nitro in history, I don't think
00:42:35that's overstating the case one
00:42:37bit.
00:42:40Well, Dusty Rhodes arrives with
00:42:42members of the NWO.
00:42:43You know, there's so many ways
00:42:47this main event can go.
00:42:48So many things can happen.
00:42:50It's going to be worth the
00:42:52wait.
00:42:55So many ways it can go, but
00:42:56the question is, which way
00:42:59will it go?
00:42:59NWO.
00:43:06NWO.
00:43:10Steiner, Rhodes, Conan.
00:43:17And Big Sexy, the giant killer,
00:43:19has the microphone.
00:43:22Look at his chance to prove
00:43:23that.
00:43:23It uncensored now owning.
00:43:24So who's got the microphone
00:43:34this time?
00:43:35They always got their own
00:43:36mic.
00:43:36Well, Scott Steiner does.
00:43:37Philadelphia, tonight is your
00:43:40lucky night.
00:43:43Because not only did you get
00:43:46to see me wrestle, but tonight
00:43:51you get to see my brother get
00:43:55inducted into the NWO.
00:44:03You think?
00:44:06Because my brother finally
00:44:08realized that when I joined the
00:44:11NWO, it was the right decision
00:44:14for both of us.
00:44:16And tonight, the NWO gets
00:44:20stronger.
00:44:26Come on down, Rick.
00:44:28They're making the call, just
00:44:29like we said.
00:44:34Oh, if he walks down, this is
00:44:35going to be a very low moment.
00:44:38And there Rhodes has the shirt
00:44:40for him.
00:44:41Come on down, Rick.
00:44:42They have the shirt for Rick
00:44:43Steiner.
00:44:43Scott promised Thursday he would
00:44:50get to his brother and that this
00:44:51would happen.
00:44:54Well, here he comes.
00:44:57With DiBiase.
00:44:58With DiBiase.
00:44:59Well, let's get an answer.
00:45:00With DiBiase.
00:45:02So, has this gone full circle
00:45:05with DiBiase?
00:45:06Has this been a plane all along?
00:45:10Boy, you just don't know anymore
00:45:11about anyone.
00:45:13I don't think I can even trust me.
00:45:14Oh, here we go.
00:45:20Oh, no.
00:45:22Oh, no.
00:45:24I can't believe this.
00:45:26Blood is thicker than water.
00:45:28You're exactly right.
00:45:29W.O.
00:45:30They have a tag team.
00:45:32You know, you can buy these N.W.O.
00:45:37shirts up at the merchandise pit.
00:45:40But, ladies and gentlemen,
00:45:42when you get it from one of the
00:45:43N.W.O. guys themselves,
00:45:46I can't believe this.
00:45:47You become family.
00:45:48That's what it is.
00:45:50What an unbelievable honor it is
00:45:52tonight for me to induct Rick
00:45:56Steiner into the N.W.O.
00:45:58This is a horrible moment
00:46:02for all of us, guys.
00:46:04Oh, this.
00:46:05Well.
00:46:07Oh!
00:46:08Forget about it!
00:46:10No, he's WCW.
00:46:12You're not getting hit your brother.
00:46:13100%.
00:46:14Hit your brother in the mouth.
00:46:16He's WCW for life.
00:46:19Yeah, but he's outmanned, too.
00:46:21Look at that.
00:46:24He was outmanned.
00:46:26There was nothing for him to do.
00:46:28He is one of the bravest,
00:46:30toughest men this sport's ever known.
00:46:34And he's wailing the daylights
00:46:35out of his own brother.
00:46:37After the four-on-one attack,
00:46:39it looks like Nash is ready
00:46:40for the Jack Knight powerbomb.
00:46:43There have been fines
00:46:44of over $300,000
00:46:45levied to Nash.
00:46:48And he pulled away
00:46:49for the powerbomb
00:46:50as Doug Dillinger and security
00:46:52walked toward him that time
00:46:54and said,
00:46:54you better not.
00:46:55Meanwhile,
00:46:57Rick Steiner
00:46:57at the mercy
00:46:59of the NWO,
00:47:00including his own blood.
00:47:03He's gonna do it.
00:47:03Gonna do it anyway.
00:47:04He's gonna do it!
00:47:05No, he's not!
00:47:08Can you imagine
00:47:09the Steiner's families at home?
00:47:10I mean, both families.
00:47:11The whole Steiner family
00:47:12watching Scott
00:47:14and the NWO
00:47:15turn on his brother like this.
00:47:16Stomping, pounding away
00:47:19at the mercy of the NWO.
00:47:22Three men.
00:47:23Uh-oh.
00:47:23Boy, they're running now.
00:47:25Who could this be?
00:47:27It's the Giant!
00:47:29Seven feet forward!
00:47:30500 pounds!
00:47:32Bad neck or neck!
00:47:33Looking eye to eye
00:47:35with Kevin Nash!
00:47:37How about it now,
00:47:38Big Sexy?
00:47:39The man that tried
00:47:40to break his neck!
00:47:41Oh!
00:47:42The Giant,
00:47:45the man who,
00:47:45against Doctor's orders,
00:47:47will return to the ring
00:47:48at Uncensored
00:47:49against Kevin Nash!
00:47:50He's gonna power Bowman!
00:47:52Do it!
00:47:52Do it!
00:47:53He's gonna pop!
00:47:55Put him up!
00:47:56And...
00:47:56Oh!
00:47:58Whoa!
00:47:59Woo!
00:48:00How about that?
00:48:02The whale's bit!
00:48:03Look at this!
00:48:04Come on!
00:48:05Come on, Giant!
00:48:07Do it to him, too!
00:48:08Oh, that hurt his neck.
00:48:09That hurt him!
00:48:10Tony,
00:48:11you can't bend over
00:48:12and pick him out of that
00:48:13and raise your arms
00:48:13if you and I both know that.
00:48:15Well...
00:48:15He should not be in that ring.
00:48:18There's $50,000
00:48:19I know that anybody
00:48:21in WCW,
00:48:22a wrestler,
00:48:22any wrestler
00:48:23would pay for that.
00:48:24Well,
00:48:25pick him up
00:48:25and do it again!
00:48:26Sure,
00:48:26they'll pass the hat.
00:48:29How about this?
00:48:31Fans,
00:48:32WCW
00:48:33stands for many things,
00:48:36but it means respect.
00:48:38It also stands
00:48:41for watching out
00:48:42for each other
00:48:43without concern
00:48:44for egos.
00:48:46And look at Nash.
00:48:46He's not getting up.
00:48:48Nash is laying there.
00:48:49He's out cold.
00:48:50What a moment!
00:48:51And the biggest moment
00:48:52still to come
00:48:53here live on Nitro.
00:48:56And Rick Steiner's
00:48:57tearing that shirt
00:48:57to his dreads.
00:48:59Look at this!
00:49:00Look at this!
00:49:00All right,
00:49:04this happened
00:49:05moments ago
00:49:06after the
00:49:07Jack Knight powerbomb.
00:49:09He was going
00:49:10to be arrested,
00:49:11but the handcuffs
00:49:12did not fit
00:49:13this massive man.
00:49:16And he just walked
00:49:18right away
00:49:18from security.
00:49:21And he walked
00:49:21right away.
00:49:22Look at Doug Dillinger.
00:49:23He's stunned.
00:49:24Security there
00:49:24ready to take him out.
00:49:26The handcuffs
00:49:26wouldn't fit,
00:49:27but the fact remains
00:49:29that he powerbombed
00:49:31Kevin Nash.
00:49:33And I'm sure
00:49:34there's some sort
00:49:35of fine
00:49:35that's going to be
00:49:37levy,
00:49:37but who in the world
00:49:38cares?
00:49:39That'll go down
00:49:40as one of the most
00:49:41memorable moments
00:49:42in the history
00:49:43of WCW Monday Night
00:49:44Grove.
00:49:45No doubt about it.
00:49:45And if anybody
00:49:46ever deserved
00:49:47to be
00:49:48Jack Knight powerbombed,
00:49:50it was
00:49:50Kevin Nash
00:49:52of the Outsiders
00:49:53of the NWO
00:49:53that combined
00:49:54that with the fact
00:49:55that Rick Steiner
00:49:56walked away
00:49:59from an invite
00:50:00from his brother
00:50:00in the NWO.
00:50:02Is that big or what?
00:50:03What a great show
00:50:04of unity
00:50:04on the part
00:50:05of World Championship
00:50:06Wrestling.
00:50:06And Tony,
00:50:07if there was
00:50:08a fine involved,
00:50:09that was $50,000
00:50:10well spent.
00:50:11Yes, it was.
00:50:12They had to scrape
00:50:13up Kevin Nash
00:50:13with a spatula.
00:50:16Well, this is going
00:50:17to be good.
00:50:17Oh, boy, is it ever.
00:50:18This big man,
00:50:19Bryan Adams.
00:50:20And the best there is,
00:50:21the best there was,
00:50:22and the best there ever
00:50:23will be.
00:50:23In his WCW
00:50:24Monday Nitro debut.
00:50:25Now, let's not forget,
00:50:26that Bret Hart
00:50:28came out
00:50:29to help the nature boy
00:50:29Rick Flair
00:50:30when Flair
00:50:31was being pummeled
00:50:32by Kurt Hennig
00:50:33and Rick Rude.
00:50:34And Bret Hart
00:50:35and Kurt Hennig
00:50:37will collide
00:50:38and uncensored
00:50:38coming up
00:50:39in a matter of weeks.
00:50:43Obviously,
00:50:44Bret Hart
00:50:44didn't like
00:50:45what Kurt Hennig
00:50:47said about his father.
00:50:50You know Stu Hart?
00:50:52Oh, yeah.
00:50:52Very well.
00:50:53You know Stu Hart
00:50:54was an old man
00:50:54when he was 20.
00:50:57Well, there is certainly
00:50:58heat between the Hart
00:50:59and the Hennigs.
00:51:01Always has been.
00:51:02All right,
00:51:03a forearm shot
00:51:04and Bryan Adams
00:51:05is wasting no time.
00:51:07He is attacking
00:51:08Bret the Hitman Hart.
00:51:10Here we go.
00:51:11Here is another
00:51:12example of the friction
00:51:14of the animosity
00:51:15that is built
00:51:16to epic proportions
00:51:19between NWO and WCW.
00:51:21And let's not also forget
00:51:22that it was
00:51:23Bryan Adams
00:51:23in his debut
00:51:25who came out
00:51:26and offered,
00:51:27extended his hand
00:51:28in friendship
00:51:29to Bret Hart
00:51:30before stabbing him
00:51:31in the back.
00:51:32Well, remember,
00:51:33a pat on the back
00:51:34is only 12 inches
00:51:35from a kick in the pants.
00:51:36So he's in the neighborhood.
00:51:37We all know that
00:51:38and they're on the outside.
00:51:40You know,
00:51:40after what just happened
00:51:41to Kevin Nash,
00:51:42can you imagine
00:51:43the demeanor
00:51:44of the New World Order
00:51:46here starting with Adams
00:51:47and with Hollywood Hogan
00:51:48and Scott Hall
00:51:49in just a few moments?
00:51:50I got something
00:51:51for better for you
00:51:52to imagine.
00:51:53Can you imagine
00:51:54a guy that's
00:51:54in the drunk tank
00:51:55down at the jail here
00:51:56and we're going
00:51:57to bring the Giant
00:51:57in tonight?
00:51:58That guy's cured.
00:52:00You're probably right.
00:52:01You bring a guy
00:52:02in seven feet forward,
00:52:03Hank has powerbomb
00:52:04on all the guards.
00:52:05That guy's going
00:52:05to sober up real quick.
00:52:06I tell you,
00:52:07the powerbomb
00:52:08on behalf of the Giant,
00:52:11on behalf of WCW,
00:52:12it's won
00:52:13for the highlight reel
00:52:15of the year.
00:52:16And who knows
00:52:17what highlights,
00:52:18what memorable moments,
00:52:19what unforgettable
00:52:20occurrences are going
00:52:21to happen when Sting
00:52:22will climb in the ring
00:52:23with a macho man
00:52:24in a mere moment
00:52:25on this program
00:52:26against Hogan and Hall.
00:52:27Did you see
00:52:28when the Giant
00:52:28had Nash up there
00:52:29in the air?
00:52:29He was up to the third deck.
00:52:31Yes, he was.
00:52:32Bret Hart, though,
00:52:33under the WCW banner
00:52:35is hammering
00:52:36Bryan Adams' hair
00:52:37all the way down
00:52:39to the mat.
00:52:41Size has never meant
00:52:42anything to Bret Hart.
00:52:43He's fought the biggest
00:52:44in this sport.
00:52:45He's fought the
00:52:45the heaviest
00:52:46and he's always
00:52:47gone at him.
00:52:48He's never backed away.
00:52:49He's never tried
00:52:49to make you make a mistake.
00:52:51He just tries
00:52:51to get out there
00:52:52and he does
00:52:52out-wrestle you.
00:52:54Well, I think
00:52:54if there's a
00:52:54Russian leg sweep,
00:52:56I think if there is
00:52:57one defining moment
00:52:59of WCW wrestlers
00:53:00in comparison
00:53:01to NWO wrestlers,
00:53:03it is that
00:53:04they will not
00:53:04back down
00:53:05from a fight.
00:53:06Every WCW athlete
00:53:07to a man
00:53:08will not back down
00:53:09from a fight.
00:53:09Now NWO guys
00:53:11will back down
00:53:12to the point
00:53:12to where they
00:53:13cower behind
00:53:14their own.
00:53:15They cannot fight
00:53:16a one-on-one battle.
00:53:17That's well known.
00:53:18And isn't it great
00:53:19to see WCW
00:53:20fighting fire
00:53:21with fire
00:53:21with a little strength
00:53:22of numbers
00:53:23on their own?
00:53:23You've got to do that.
00:53:24I've said that all along.
00:53:25You've got to be dirtier
00:53:27than the dirtiest players
00:53:29to survive.
00:53:30And that's what
00:53:30has to happen.
00:53:31That's what I've said
00:53:31about my whole career.
00:53:32Well, you've been
00:53:33one of the dirtiest
00:53:34and I can understand
00:53:35why you would say so.
00:53:37Yeah, you have.
00:53:38But that's what
00:53:39you've got to do here.
00:53:40And we've seen glimpses
00:53:41of that so far
00:53:41here tonight.
00:53:42Because they'll do it to you.
00:53:43Yes, they will.
00:53:44Bret Hart
00:53:44caught the foot.
00:53:46He's got Bryan Adams.
00:53:48Sharpshooter.
00:53:49He may have him.
00:53:49They're standing here
00:53:50at the Spectrum.
00:53:51Adams fights it off
00:53:52and grabs onto the ropes.
00:53:54Oh, Hart drops down.
00:53:56That's a headbutt
00:53:57in the lower abdomen
00:53:57and, uh...
00:53:59That'll take the wind
00:53:59out of you.
00:54:00You're not kidding
00:54:00you, Will.
00:54:01Many times over.
00:54:02Scott Dickinson
00:54:03seeing that that was
00:54:04a legal maneuver.
00:54:05Although it was very,
00:54:06very close.
00:54:07But here comes
00:54:08Bryan Adams.
00:54:09No, it's Bret Hart.
00:54:11Oh, he was caught,
00:54:12wasn't he?
00:54:13Tried to reverse
00:54:14a hip toss that time
00:54:15but nowhere to go.
00:54:16But down
00:54:16in the big lariat
00:54:18from this big guy,
00:54:19Bryan Adams
00:54:20of the New World Order.
00:54:21Well, that clothesline,
00:54:22what an example
00:54:23of the power advantage
00:54:24that Bryan Adams
00:54:25has in this matchup
00:54:26over Bret Hart.
00:54:28Adams picks it up.
00:54:28Oh!
00:54:29Wow, a tilt-a-whirl
00:54:30backbreaker
00:54:31dropped him down
00:54:32across the knee.
00:54:33That's just showing
00:54:33his power here, guys.
00:54:35He's not a nice man.
00:54:37There's nobody
00:54:38in that organization
00:54:39that's a nice man.
00:54:40That's why they're successful.
00:54:41Can't be a nice person here.
00:54:43Oh!
00:54:43Too dangerous.
00:54:44You have to,
00:54:45like you just said,
00:54:45you have to be dirtier
00:54:46than the dirtiest.
00:54:47Yes, you do,
00:54:47but it doesn't mean...
00:54:48Oh, forget it.
00:54:49There's a foot to the face.
00:54:51Down goes Hart.
00:54:52And Bryan Adams,
00:54:53uh-oh,
00:54:54he just ripped
00:54:55the turnbuckle pad away.
00:54:57And that's just
00:54:58a steel bolt exposed there.
00:55:01Steel cable hooked
00:55:02by that steel bolt.
00:55:03You're right.
00:55:03And there's,
00:55:05with purpose here,
00:55:06Bret Hart
00:55:07at the mercy
00:55:08of Bryan Adams.
00:55:08Oh, he put the brakes.
00:55:09Jaw first
00:55:12to the turnbuckle.
00:55:13And now,
00:55:14step through.
00:55:17Gotta make that long step.
00:55:18That's the key.
00:55:19You're right.
00:55:20There it is.
00:55:20Sit down.
00:55:20He's gotta sit down.
00:55:21That's what he's doing.
00:55:22Shot shooter
00:55:23on Bryan Adams.
00:55:24But how close
00:55:25is he to the rope?
00:55:26Can he reach
00:55:27that bottom rope?
00:55:28Well, you see
00:55:28Kurt Hennig
00:55:29come in.
00:55:31He did not give up.
00:55:32But when Hennig
00:55:33came in,
00:55:34the bell has sounded.
00:55:35The match
00:55:36has been thrown out.
00:55:37But we've got a fight
00:55:38going on here now.
00:55:40Wherever you see Hennig,
00:55:41you usually see Roode.
00:55:43That's a good point.
00:55:44Hennig
00:55:45and Hart
00:55:46on the outside.
00:55:47No love lost here
00:55:48with these two.
00:55:49He reached out.
00:55:49My goodness,
00:55:50he was going
00:55:51after the head.
00:55:52Thank goodness
00:55:53he ducked out of the way.
00:55:56And look at
00:55:57Bret Hart fight back.
00:55:59Bret Hart.
00:56:01I mean,
00:56:01he's fought two
00:56:01of the toughest men
00:56:02in this sport.
00:56:05Hart and Hennig
00:56:06pounding away.
00:56:08Hart's forgotten
00:56:09what I'm all about.
00:56:09Ryan Adams.
00:56:10He shouldn't have
00:56:12because Adams got him.
00:56:13And Adams
00:56:14sends him over the top.
00:56:15The wait is almost over.
00:56:17Back with the match
00:56:18you've been waiting for
00:56:19after this.
00:56:20Wow.

00:58:59cut with a knife.
00:59:00They're smiling,
00:59:00but they realize
00:59:01what's ahead.
00:59:02Our fans in
00:59:03across to West
00:59:03Virginia,
00:59:04you'll know
00:59:05what it's like
00:59:05when we come
00:59:06to your way
00:59:06this Saturday
00:59:07at the Civic
00:59:08Center.
00:59:10You know,
00:59:11I've been in
00:59:11this ring,
00:59:12I've wrestled
00:59:12in this building,
00:59:13in this ring,
00:59:14and I'll tell you
00:59:15something,
00:59:15I'm more excited
00:59:16now and more
00:59:16nervous than when
00:59:17I wrestled here.
00:59:18This is going
00:59:18to be great.
00:59:19Can you imagine
00:59:24NWO and WCW
00:59:25on the same
00:59:26team?
00:59:28Never thought
00:59:29it would happen.
00:59:30Never fathom out.
00:59:30And now,
00:59:31representing WCW.
00:59:33Here it is.
00:59:34Two of
00:59:35professional wrestling's
00:59:37biggest superstars.
00:59:39Together now
00:59:40as a force.
00:59:42Together now
00:59:43as a team.
00:59:44First,
00:59:45weighing 240 pounds
00:59:47in the company
00:59:48of the lovely
00:59:49Miss Elizabeth.
00:59:51Forget it,
00:59:52Michael,
00:59:52you better get out
00:59:52of there.
00:59:53Here we go.
00:59:53Let the match begin.
00:59:54Thank you very much.
00:59:55Let the match begin.
00:59:56Bischoff is still
00:59:57in there.
00:59:58Look,
00:59:58Bischoff wants
00:59:58to get a part
00:59:59of this,
00:59:59and Bischoff
01:00:00is getting
01:00:00a part of this.
01:00:03They're sending
01:00:04Sting to a
01:00:05turnbuckle noise.
01:00:06He puts the brakes
01:00:07off.
01:00:08Yeah,
01:00:08there you go.
01:00:12We love
01:00:13all of that.
01:00:15Now,
01:00:16we knew it wasn't
01:00:16going to be pretty.
01:00:17That right hand
01:00:18was for everyone
01:00:19associated
01:00:20with WCW.
01:00:21Here,
01:00:21Dagon ready loss.
01:00:23Now Sting and Hogan
01:00:24on the floor.
01:00:25And you notice
01:00:25Sting went right
01:00:26for Hogan.
01:00:26He had his eyes
01:00:27on that man
01:00:28the whole time.
01:00:30Now the referee
01:00:31is signed to this one
01:00:32and letting this game
01:00:33go.
01:00:34And that's exactly
01:00:35what he needs
01:00:35to do.
01:00:36Forget about
01:00:37a pinning,
01:00:38forget about pins,
01:00:39forget about
01:00:40disqualification.
01:00:40Charles Robinson,
01:00:42you need to let this
01:00:42go.
01:00:43This is much bigger
01:00:43than a 1-2-3
01:00:45right here.
01:00:45He should come out,
01:00:46sit in a chair,
01:00:47and just watch it.
01:00:48Let them battle.
01:00:49And interesting
01:00:50to see that
01:00:51they have separated,
01:00:53have Sting
01:00:53and the Macho Man,
01:00:55they are fighting
01:00:56their own battles.
01:00:57And Sting is going
01:00:58to the belt.
01:00:59Yeah!
01:01:00Hit it!
01:01:02You've been
01:01:03a bad boy,
01:01:04Hollywood!
01:01:05Yes!
01:01:05He's just
01:01:06tattooing Hogan
01:01:07with that belt.
01:01:11Sting, though,
01:01:12relentless
01:01:12as the Macho Man
01:01:14is up on top.
01:01:15A double hat
01:01:15tender on Scott Hall.
01:01:17Sting takes off
01:01:18his long jacket
01:01:20and tries to
01:01:21waste Hogan again.
01:01:24Savage has to stop.
01:01:26He's got the belt now.
01:01:28Oh!
01:01:30We are seeing
01:01:31much, I think,
01:01:32of what we expected,
01:01:32although I thought
01:01:33it would...
01:01:34You see,
01:01:35that's why we call
01:01:35him the most dangerous
01:01:36man in professional
01:01:38wrestling right there.
01:01:39I'm really surprised
01:01:41that Savage and Hogan
01:01:42didn't go at it
01:01:43against each other
01:01:44at the beginning.
01:01:45That they did not walk
01:01:46because that has been
01:01:47one of the burning issues,
01:01:49the biggest burning issue
01:01:50within the NWO, guys.
01:01:52And that is
01:01:53the animosity
01:01:53that's existed
01:01:54between Savage
01:01:56and Hollywood
01:01:56that will come
01:01:58together in the cage
01:01:59match
01:02:00and uncensored.
01:02:02Oh!
01:02:03Both Savage
01:02:04and Hogan
01:02:05vying to be
01:02:05the top dog
01:02:06in the New World Order,
01:02:07the straw that stirs
01:02:08the drink,
01:02:09so to speak.
01:02:11And not only that,
01:02:12the Macho Man
01:02:12wants to be
01:02:13the biggest star
01:02:14in show business,
01:02:15purposely to destroy Hogan.
01:02:17Did you see Savage
01:02:18reach out his hand
01:02:20and bring Sting in?
01:02:22How about that
01:02:22show off cover?
01:02:23One, two!
01:02:24He almost beat him!
01:02:25How about that
01:02:25show off teamwork,
01:02:26a member of the NWO
01:02:28tagging in a member
01:02:29of WCW.
01:02:30Never before seen
01:02:32ever,
01:02:32and they do it again.
01:02:33Well, this one-night-only
01:02:34Dream Team,
01:02:35they're on the same page.
01:02:37Double Rocks
01:02:37and the blow to the back.
01:02:39But I keep going back,
01:02:40though, Brain and Mike.
01:02:41I keep going back
01:02:42to the fact that
01:02:42Sting says,
01:02:43it's got to be my way.
01:02:44It seems to me
01:02:45that his way
01:02:46and the Macho Man's way
01:02:48are right now
01:02:48the same way.
01:02:50And that is
01:02:51to waste them both,
01:02:52lay them out.
01:02:54You know,
01:02:54this amazes me
01:02:55because I thought
01:02:55the NWO would be smoother.
01:02:57I thought Hogan and Hall
01:02:58would have meetings.
01:02:59They'd sit down
01:02:59with Nash
01:03:00and now Scott Steiner
01:03:01and talk everything out
01:03:02with tag team rules.
01:03:04What the rules mean?
01:03:05But, you know,
01:03:06Savage here hasn't
01:03:07backed down one bit.
01:03:08He's been a partner
01:03:09to Sting.
01:03:09And who better
01:03:10to plot strategy
01:03:11against the NWO
01:03:12than the Macho Man
01:03:14Randy Savage?
01:03:15Here's the cover.
01:03:15One, two,
01:03:16and a kick out
01:03:17that time.
01:03:18Scott Hall
01:03:18got the right shoulder up.
01:03:20Oh, boy.
01:03:21Well, he enjoyed
01:03:22all of that.
01:03:23You know,
01:03:24maybe the success
01:03:25of this team
01:03:25will be because
01:03:26Savage
01:03:26has maybe drove
01:03:28Sting nuts.
01:03:28Savage sees an open
01:03:32and he goes
01:03:33right through it.
01:03:37And Bischoff
01:03:38and Hogan
01:03:39trying to maybe
01:03:42rethink some strategy
01:03:43here.
01:03:43I think the only
01:03:44strategy you can think
01:03:45of is to get away
01:03:46from these guys.
01:03:48Look at the good
01:03:48tag team work
01:03:49of Savage and Sting.
01:03:50Consummate tag team
01:03:51wrestling.
01:03:52Good, quick tags.
01:03:53What a team.
01:03:55And here comes Savage.
01:03:58Elba, one, two.
01:04:04You know,
01:04:04I see Savage
01:04:05and I think about
01:04:06how Savage
01:04:07was a member
01:04:08of that team
01:04:08that tried to
01:04:10fend off the NWO.
01:04:11Did Hogan have
01:04:12something in his hand?
01:04:13Yes, he did.
01:04:14Yes, he did.
01:04:15He sure did.
01:04:16I couldn't tell
01:04:16what that was,
01:04:17but he threw it
01:04:18underneath the steel
01:04:19steps and it decked
01:04:20Savage.
01:04:21Savage may be out.
01:04:23Short elbow drop
01:04:24from Hollywood here.
01:04:25Well, that was the only
01:04:26way he was going to do it.
01:04:27Only way.
01:04:27Because Savage
01:04:28was in high gear.
01:04:30I'd like to know
01:04:31what that was he used.
01:04:32It looked to me,
01:04:34now it's only because
01:04:35I saw a glimpse of it,
01:04:37it looked to me
01:04:37to be possibly
01:04:38a spray can.
01:04:40And because I could see
01:04:42it looked like
01:04:42a shiny steel
01:04:45or aluminum bottom
01:04:46to it.
01:04:47But whatever it is,
01:04:48regardless of what it was,
01:04:49the fact of it is,
01:04:50it's turned the tide
01:04:51of this match, guys.
01:04:52Double X handle.
01:04:54Wow, turned it
01:04:55a full 180, Tony.
01:04:56And we're seeing now
01:04:58some fluid tag team
01:04:59movement here
01:04:59with members
01:05:00of the NWO.
01:05:01And I think
01:05:02it's very obvious,
01:05:03you can see
01:05:03Hogan pounding away.
01:05:05That's out of frustration.
01:05:07That is out of hatred
01:05:09and jealousy.
01:05:11They've hated each other
01:05:12for years.
01:05:13You know,
01:05:14Hogan was a,
01:05:14he's probably the biggest
01:05:17name in this sport
01:05:17in the history
01:05:18of this sport.
01:05:19Savage always wanted
01:05:20that shot.
01:05:21And they always
01:05:21were jealous of each other.
01:05:22They never got along.
01:05:23Well, you know,
01:05:24in covering the sport
01:05:25for years like I have
01:05:26and, Brayden,
01:05:27you have, Mike,
01:05:27all three of us,
01:05:28we all have known
01:05:29that you can do bad things
01:05:31to an athlete,
01:05:32to a person,
01:05:33to a wrestler in the sport
01:05:34who has a bad ego.
01:05:36But if you try
01:05:37to show him up,
01:05:40if you try to attack
01:05:41his ego,
01:05:42that's when he gets
01:05:43the maddest.
01:05:44That's the ultimate disgrace.
01:05:45The ultimate disgrace
01:05:46for a guy with a large ego.
01:05:47One, two.
01:05:48The ego,
01:05:50a lot of times,
01:05:51the overriding factor,
01:05:52it is with Hogan.
01:05:53It obviously is with Savage.
01:05:55That has been
01:05:56the crux of the problem
01:05:58within the New World Order.
01:06:00Tag is made,
01:06:01Scott Hall.
01:06:02And also,
01:06:03I'm sure it's got to
01:06:04be in the mind
01:06:04of the NWO here.
01:06:06Not only do they want
01:06:07to destroy Savage
01:06:08to make sure
01:06:09the pecking order
01:06:10is Hollywood Hogan's,
01:06:11they would not mind
01:06:12taking Sting down
01:06:13a notch or two
01:06:14for Scott Hall
01:06:15and his title bout
01:06:16coming up at Uncensored
01:06:17on the 15th.
01:06:19Foot to the face.
01:06:20There's the Bigfoot
01:06:21by Hollywood.
01:06:22Savage has been in there
01:06:23a long time.
01:06:24He's taken a lot of abuse.
01:06:27Hogan feels he's got him down.
01:06:29The Bigfoot has always
01:06:30been the prelude
01:06:31to the leg drop
01:06:32off of the ropes.
01:06:35Hogan's going to pick him up,
01:06:36scoop slam.
01:06:39Here it comes, Tony.
01:06:40Here it comes.
01:06:41You're right.
01:06:42Just landed on his wallet.
01:06:46Savage.
01:06:47Savage rolls to his right
01:06:49trying to make a tag.
01:06:51And who would know
01:06:52even better than Savage
01:06:53able to get out of the way.
01:06:54Now Sting and Hogan.
01:06:56Let's go.
01:06:58Sting and Hogan.
01:06:59Stinger splash.
01:07:00Oh yeah.
01:07:00Oh yeah.
01:07:01Right in your living room.
01:07:03Watch this.
01:07:04Look at the elevation.
01:07:05Yes.
01:07:07Oh.
01:07:08Scott Hall in.
01:07:09Scott Hall down.
01:07:11Sting.
01:07:12Scorpion deadlock.
01:07:13And Savage going to the top
01:07:16with his patty elbow drop.
01:07:18Here they come.
01:07:18Here they come.
01:07:20Here they come.
01:07:23Bryan Adams and Buff Bagwell
01:07:24are first to hit the ring.
01:07:26The match has been thrown out.
01:07:30And the ring is filling up.
01:07:32But notice Savage.
01:07:34Savage and Sting are still standing.
01:07:36Diamond Dallas is out there now.
01:07:38DDP has come out to pull out.
01:07:40Bagwell.
01:07:42Who is that in the ring?
01:07:46I had no idea who that is
01:07:48but it's a new member of the NWO.
01:07:51It may have been this.
01:07:52Is this the same man we saw last week?
01:07:54He rolls Hogan out.
01:07:55He's getting Hogan out of there.
01:07:57Look at that.
01:07:57He and Bischoff.
01:07:58He came out specifically to save Hogan.
01:08:01He's taking care of Hogan.
01:08:02He sure is.
01:08:05And Sting trying to fight off
01:08:07every member of the NWO.
01:08:11Savage has been decked.
01:08:12He is down.
01:08:14The NWO is still trying to
01:08:15circle the wagons.
01:08:17Whoever that man is.
01:08:19Whoever this NWO member is.
01:08:22He is taking Hogan away.
01:08:24And Sting is still fighting him off.
01:08:26Here comes.
01:08:28The Giant.
01:08:29Go ahead and say it.
01:08:30Here comes the Giant.
01:08:32Bad neck and all.
01:08:34Must have broke out of the can.
01:08:37When it all broke down tonight,
01:08:39the NWO protected Hollywood Hogan.
01:08:42The sidebar.
01:08:44He's gonna pay for that.
01:08:45The apocalypse.
01:08:46We're out of time.
01:08:48See you live Thursday on Thunder.
