00:00:00On the video cassette, send your Nitro Parties to one CNN center, PO Box 60 Atlanta, our Zip 3-0-3-0-3 each week like we did last night.
00:00:08A Nitro Party Pack will be sent out to a very special winner and still to come, a second grand prize to be held where the Nitro Girls will be coming to your party.
00:00:18Let's go back to the ring as we continue with great wrestling action here in the Norfolk Sculp at the Virginia Waterfront.
00:00:23The Old Dominion State, always a hotbed for pro wrestling and now as you can see, this sellout crowd, turn away crowd here at the Norfolk Scope and join WCW Tuesday edition of Monday Nitro prior to the NBA playoffs here on TNT.
00:00:39And we're going to see a man here that we've talked about extensively, Mike and Larry, that the man has a newfound intensity and that's the Barbarian along with his mentor Jimmy Hart.
00:00:48Well, the Barbarian physical power extraordinaire, but he's also got the guidance of a mastermind, Jimmy Hart.
00:00:57Watch the Barbarian, this guy's a physical wonder when it comes to brutality because in the NBA, all you're going to see is a lot of free shots.
00:01:07Well, Jimmy Hart has turned the Barbarian loose and his recent one-loss record definitely reflects that new level of intensity on the part of the Barbarian.
00:01:17And there's a new level of intensity in our sport.
00:01:21And I really think it's because, well, it really goes back to the insurgents of the NWO that came out a few years back and really pushed WCW athletes to the limit.
00:01:31The insurgents of a man who is undefeated and seemingly unstoppable in Goldberg.
00:01:35We're seeing high-intensity wrestling.
00:01:38We're seeing guys like members of Public Enemy come out, use whatever it takes to win a match.
00:01:43We're seeing the rules in our sport being relaxed now.
00:01:46We're seeing the over-the-top rope disqualification that was such a big part of our sport for decades now being taken out.
00:01:52You can throw your man over the top rope and the match will still continue.
00:01:55And that rule was put in to help wrestlers, you know, to take out the injury factor.
00:02:01And right now the fans want to see intense physical wrestling, and that's what we're bringing.
00:02:05When you talk about that new level of intensity, you just factor in the incredible TV ratings,
00:02:10the millions of people watching World Championship Wrestling action on TNT, on TBS, as well as in arenas around the country.
00:02:18And, of course, the competitive nature of this sport is going to be turned up a notch.
00:02:23And the Barbarian, he's one of the beasts that can do it.
00:02:27Fans, we are heading towards Slamboree.
00:02:29Of course, it's on the 17th of May, as we, of course, are right near the end of April.
00:02:35Next month, Slamboree, of course, always a May tradition.
00:02:38And we have announced two big matches.
00:02:41We'll be talking about them during the course of this telecast,
00:02:45especially when it relates to one macho man, Randy Savage, and one breath, a hitman heart.
00:02:50The whip into the ropes.
00:02:52Rocko Rock hit hard!
00:02:54Big power slam by the Barbarian.
00:02:56Barbarian, a veteran.
00:02:57He's been around.
00:02:58He has faced many, many men.
00:02:59And certainly we have heard that Ming will be making his way back to WCW very, very soon.
00:03:06One of the most fierce competitors ever.
00:03:08And that seems to have gotten the Barbarian even hotter.
00:03:12Fueled the fire even more, if I can use that old cliche.
00:03:14Well, I think we can call them former tag team partners,
00:03:17as Ming certainly didn't leave on good terms with the Barbarian.
00:03:20Who knows when we'll see his return?
00:03:23Rocko Rock double axe handle on top of the head of the Barbarian.
00:03:26Yeah, but that's the wrong place to hit him.
00:03:29That's it.
00:03:29The knee's much better.
00:03:31Barbarian's head's like a rock.
00:03:33Almost like Rocko Rock heard you in midstream right there.
00:03:35There's a trip by Jimmy Hart.
00:03:37And that's going to cause Rocko Rock to grab Hart, which probably would be a mistake with the Barbarian behind you.
00:03:45Oh, but he got the sidekick in.
00:03:47He saw him coming.
00:03:48Not the first time Jimmy Hart put his body on the line for his man.
00:03:51Definitely distracts his opponent.
00:03:53Rocko is ready for it.
00:03:55It's Hugh Morris.
00:03:56We haven't seen him in months.
00:03:57Hugh Morris has come in.
00:03:58And he nails Rocko Rock in the back of the head.
00:04:01And then scoots out before the referee can throw the man down.
00:04:06And now John Grimes has come out with the trash can.
00:04:11Well, what's left of it.
00:04:13What's left of it.
00:04:15There's the over-the-top rope as the match will still continue here.
00:04:19And Grimes gets involved.
00:04:21The referee is over talking to David Pinscher.
00:04:24Why?
00:04:24He has officially made this match a tag team contest.
00:04:31Well, why not?
00:04:32This has become a tag match.
00:04:34You know, the last time we saw Hugh Morris, he was teamed with the Barbarian against the public enemy in a Philadelphia street fight.
00:04:41And this has evolved into a Norfolk street fight.
00:04:44Boy, has it ever.
00:04:45Head first now.
00:04:46Shoulder first.
00:04:47They go to the safety room.
00:04:48And I tell you, Mickie J, I think, doing the right thing.
00:04:51I don't think the fans wanted to see the match being thrown out.
00:04:53They wanted to see all four men go at it.
00:04:55Oh, my goodness.
00:04:56Rocco Rock hit very, very hard at the bottom of the safety rail right at the front row of ringside.
00:05:04Anything else.
00:05:07Exactly what we talked about.
00:05:08Jimmy Hart involved as well.
00:05:11Yeah, he'll get right.
00:05:11He's even holding Rocco.
00:05:15And Rocco Rock gets nailed.
00:05:16Back, they go in the ring.
00:05:20Oh!
00:05:21It's a wild brawl here on this Tuesday edition of Nitro.
00:05:29Public enemy against the Barbarian and Hugh Morris.
00:05:32And, oh, down goes the Barbarian.
00:05:34Double team clothesline.
00:05:35And now down goes Hugh Morris and public enemy.
00:05:38Right now, ruling things in the ring.
00:05:40Look at Jimmy Hart.
00:05:41What's he hitting him with?
00:05:42Look, what's it?
00:05:43Is it a belt or?
00:05:44A belt.
00:05:45Apparently it is a belt.
00:05:46It's just going to make a matter.
00:05:48It had no effect at all.
00:05:50As a matter of fact, it did exactly what you said, Larry.
00:05:52It made...
00:05:53It made Johnny Grudge mad!
00:05:57Jimmy Hart!
00:05:59An atomic drop!
00:06:01No, they're going to set him up, but it's a sacrificial lamb!
00:06:04They're putting Jimmy Hart on the table!
00:06:08Johnny Grudge is holding him!
00:06:11Oh, my goodness!
00:06:14And the fans want to see it!
00:06:16Here comes Rocco Rock!
00:06:18Hugh Morris!
00:06:19Oh, my goodness!
00:06:21Hugh Morris sacrificed himself for Jimmy Hart,
00:06:24who was pulled away by the Barbarian in the nick of time.
00:06:26You see, Jimmy Hart sacrificed himself, and his men are loyal to him.
00:06:31Saved him in the nick of time!
00:06:33Oh, boy, oh, boy, had Jimmy Hart been the recipient of that.
00:06:36I don't know, have you ever seen the...
00:06:37He's a little guy!
00:06:39You're not kidding, he's a little guy.
00:06:40Jimmy Hart would have looked like that trash can!
00:06:43And that's what Johnny Grudge wants.
00:06:45He walks in with a trash can.
00:06:47He gets the kick of fear into the trash can, into the head.
00:06:50One, two, three.
00:06:51The Barbarian and Hugh Morris will win this impotent tag team encounter here on Nitro.
00:06:58That was about as wild and bizarre as you'll ever want to see.
00:07:04Lucky, too, for Jimmy Hart.
00:07:06This guy almost wound up like a squash grape.
00:07:11All right.
00:07:12We continue here on Nitro on this Tuesday edition prior to the NBA playoffs.
00:07:17Well, this past Wednesday on a Wednesday edition of Thunder on TVS, I had a chance to, I guess,
00:07:24conduct an interview with the Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:07:26Basically grabbed the microphone.
00:07:29He had one thing to say to Bret Hart.
00:07:31He wanted Bret Hart in the ring to the Macho Man Randy Savage, and he will get Bret Hart on
00:07:36May 17th coming up at Slamboree.
00:07:38Remember, there's two factions, obviously, in the NWO, Savage and Nash, and Hollywood
00:07:43Hogan.
00:07:44And the question is, is Bret Hart, has he officially aligned himself with Hollywood
00:07:47Hogan?
00:07:48Well, that's the question.
00:07:49We await the answer, but you can't blame Savage.
00:07:51The championship slipped through his fingers.
00:07:54A direct result of interference by Bret Hart.
00:07:57Payback for the Macho Man Randy Savage upcoming at Slamboree.
00:08:01Here's what the Macho Man had to say last Wednesday on Thunder.
00:08:06Let me tell you the worst kept secret in the world today that everybody on this planet
00:08:11knows.
00:08:14Hollywood Hogan is total scum.
00:08:18The Hitman Bret Hart, he's nuclear scum.
00:08:23You, Bret Hart, are a loser.
00:08:27Yeah, you are.
00:08:28You're not a winner.
00:08:29You're a loser, brother.
00:08:31And you need to join all those losers that stuck up to Hollywood Hogan.
00:08:37Hitman Bret Hart.
00:08:39You're definitely the best there is.
00:08:43You're definitely the best there was.
00:08:46But you're most definitely the best con man that ever walked the face of this earth.
00:08:53And congratulations, Bret Hart, because you have now graduated.
00:08:58Yes, you have.
00:09:00You are now the number one man on the Macho Man's intergalactic hit list.
00:09:08Oh, yeah.
00:09:09And that hit list becomes available coming up on the 17th of May as the two will go one-on-one.
00:09:17And later on, Bret Hart, Hollywood Hogan, face-to-face, why Bret White?
00:09:39And that hit list becomes available coming up on the 17th of May as the two will go one-on-one.
00:10:09Yeah, the story of Juventud Guerrero.
00:10:15As you see some of the highlights of his matches, highlights of his matches since the match was taken off.
00:10:21And, Mike, did you ever think that his career would take this pass once the match was taken off?
00:10:26You know, very honestly, we thought that maybe the man would not wrestle again.
00:10:29And wow, has he turned it around.
00:10:31And as he explained to us last night on Nitro, Juventud Guerrero, still in his early 20s, translates to the youth warrior.
00:10:40His father gave him his ring name.
00:10:42He's an Aztec warrior.
00:10:43And while he admits that Chris Jericho took his mask, he did not take his pride.
00:10:49And there's no quit in this youth warrior, Juventud Guerrero.
00:10:56Juventud Guerrero, there you see Juventud never surrendered.
00:11:01And he brings that to the ring.
00:11:03And that's such a great message to young athletes to never give up.
00:11:09And, you know, I heard last night, actually it was yesterday, an interview with George Carl, the coach of the Seattle Supersonics,
00:11:18who said if you quit once, then that means you'll quit again.
00:11:22And Juventud has never quit, ever quit.
00:11:24And he is showing that in the ring each and every time.
00:11:28Once the mask was taken off, he stepped it up a notch.
00:11:31He's going up against Kidman of Raven's Flock, realizing that the entire flock, obviously,
00:11:36so well you can see him there front row ringside, somewhere around.
00:11:40Odds against him here.
00:11:41Oh, what a move.
00:11:42Nice move right there by Hoban, too.
00:11:45You know, I wonder if after losing his mask, if it gave him a second chance.
00:11:50If it gave him a different identity to fight for, if maybe losing the mask was that last straw on the camel's back
00:12:00that told him, I can never surrender, or I will never be a professional wrestler.
00:12:07I think it surely gives him a new mental outlook.
00:12:10Something to shoot for, a new goal.
00:12:11And Juventud Guerrero has been awfully impressive against Kidman, who the flock loves to refer to as...
00:12:18Oh, no!
00:12:18Oh, Luchador, what a move by Kidman off the middle, rope cover!
00:12:21One, two, and oh!
00:12:23My goodness, that was a top rope.
00:12:25Spine Buster, he hit the base of his spine that time.
00:12:29That was an incredible move.
00:12:31And Kidman follows up with a chokehold.
00:12:36Not following up very fast, though, Kidman.
00:12:39Look at, he's got, he's got Hubertoot in trouble.
00:12:43Not doing the right thing about it.
00:12:45He's scratching, Lice.
00:12:46I don't know, but take, compare the roads these two young men have, have traveled down
00:12:52and, and the different turns they've taken.
00:12:54What Kidman was, what, what Kidman has become, what Juventud was, what he's become.
00:13:00And how Kidman has taken the easy way out by joining the flock and their mentality.
00:13:09Juventud has him hooked.
00:13:10And Kidman has him hooked as well.
00:13:18Up and up top.
00:13:19Landed on his feet.
00:13:20Oh, he is so agile.
00:13:21Ducked under the back elbow.
00:13:22The shoulder block from the ring apron.
00:13:24Here's the springboard.
00:13:25Got it!
00:13:25And now covers one, two.
00:13:29And I think could have pinned him had he not risen up that time.
00:13:32Well, he didn't pull that leg over far enough, and Kidman had enough leverage to straighten
00:13:36that leg out and snap onto that pinfall at the last second.
00:13:40Here he goes.
00:13:43Sends Juventud out on flight.
00:13:44Lands on his feet.
00:13:45Comes back up.
00:13:46And Kidman runs through him with a running lariat.
00:13:49There you see, left of your screen, I see Sick Boy, other members of the flock out here.
00:13:55Certainly intimidation as much as anything else.
00:13:59Big Reese, the seven-footer, and, of course, the man that, that certainly, that Diamond Dallas
00:14:04Page will never forget.
00:14:05Of course, Boulder, who came in the play to help Raven win the U.S. title, and thus losing
00:14:12it to Goldberg on this program last Monday.
00:14:17To the middle rope.
00:14:21Never surrender.
00:14:22You can see it on the tights, and you can see the way he wrestles.
00:14:25Hooking him.
00:14:26Now it's going to send Kidman to the top rope.
00:14:28Oh!
00:14:29Hovittun shoots him straight down, straddling the top ropes.
00:14:33Guerrera up on top!
00:14:35One, two, couldn't hold him down, only got two.
00:14:40Near fall that time with the Frankensteiner off the top by Hovittun.
00:14:44Yeah, you can see the frustration.
00:14:45Hovittun thought he had him.
00:14:47And Kidman, he wiggled out of this.
00:14:48Kidman's here to fight.
00:14:51Hovittun stopped the momentum that time with a back elbow in the corner.
00:14:55Picks him up.
00:14:56Hovittun driver in the corner.
00:14:57The Hovittun driver, that's usually the prelude of the 450 splash.
00:15:01And the fans are rough.
00:15:02They know what's coming.
00:15:03Kidman's down.
00:15:06Hovittun up top.
00:15:07Here it comes!
00:15:08One, two, three, Benny!
00:15:15And here they come!
00:15:19Sick boy, Riggs, both in the ring!
00:15:23Here comes Riggs on the outside.
00:15:25Hovittun is hooked, but Hovittun sends him over outside both men!
00:15:29Yeah, but Hovittun's a small guy.
00:15:31There's too many of them run out of there!
00:15:33Oh, Beal and Big Horse Boulder brings him in hard!
00:15:37Look at the size of this guy who makes Hovittun look like an ant!
00:15:40You're right!
00:15:40Look at Riggs!
00:15:43Over seven feet tall!
00:15:45Oh, he plants him down!
00:15:49Nowhere for Guerrero to run!
00:15:51And I know the types say never surrender, and he's not, but the man's out!
00:15:56Dismantled by the flock!
00:15:58But he got the win, guys!
00:16:03Can't deny that!
00:16:05And here's our 1-800-COLLECT replay, Larry Zabitzko!
00:16:07Oh, watch it!
00:16:08Kidman came to fight!
00:16:09Hovittun hit some real nice moves right there!
00:16:12I think was the beginning of the end!
00:16:13He knocked Kidman senseless!
00:16:15And this is what today lives for, to see the 450!
00:16:18And Hovittun, he nails Kidman right across the chest!
00:16:231-800-COLLECT is the way we call COLLECT today!
00:16:26Hopefully, during the break, they'll get the flock out of here!
00:16:29But right now, we take you to our Starburst Road Report on Nitro!
00:16:37It's time for the Starburst Fruit Shoes Road Report!
00:16:41And word to all our WCW fans in and around Indianapolis!
00:16:46Monday Nitro is coming, and you don't have to travel 500 miles around a brickyard to see it!
00:16:51It's Monday Nitro, coming to Market Square Arena this Monday!
00:16:55With ticket availability now at the Arena box office and all the ticket master outfits!
00:17:00And that's the Starburst Fruit Shoes Road Report!
00:17:03Need a boost?
00:17:03Give it some juice!
00:17:05All right, ladies and gentlemen, we are back with action from Norfolk, Virginia!
00:17:15And of course, here's a gentleman that showed up, I guess, just out of nowhere last night
00:17:19after an absence of nearly five months.
00:17:22I want to get the scoop from this guy, talk about him on the hotline.
00:17:25Please welcome from Germany, Alex Wright!
00:17:29Larry, have you missed this dancing from Das Wunderkind?
00:17:34You know what?
00:17:35Ever since the Nitro Girls came around, I forgot all about Alex Wright!
00:17:40Just call me L.C. Jazz!
00:17:42Alex Wright, a lot of stories, a lot of rumors going around where you've been the last five
00:17:52months, but all of a sudden, last night on TNT, you're sniffing around and dancing with
00:17:56the Nitro Girls, and you were escorted out!
00:18:00Well, explain to me something, okay?
00:18:02I'm Alex Wright, world superstar, treated like a king everywhere I go.
00:18:12I decided to take a little vacation in my home country, my beautiful home country, Germany.
00:18:19Last night I had to come back to this big style, Norfolk, Virginia, to educate these people
00:18:29how to dance!
00:18:33Surely you're not going to be working for the Chamber of Commerce making comments like
00:18:37that.
00:18:38You know what happens?
00:18:39I get taken away by the security.
00:18:42Now tell me why is that?
00:18:43Well, listen, I don't think you exactly...
00:18:45I tell you why, because the people in WCW are morons, just like all the people here in
00:18:51Norfolk, Virginia!
00:18:53You've got to lay off this copy on these folks here in Norfolk.
00:18:57These are good, hard-working...
00:18:58Nobody tells Alex Wright what to do and when to do!
00:19:04I might tell you what to do.
00:19:05No dancing out here.
00:19:06Hey, cut this guy off.
00:19:08We're not going to have any of that.
00:19:10Alex Wright, please give it a rest.
00:19:12Thank you very much.
00:19:14This is absolutely too much.
00:19:16Tony, let's get back to you.
00:19:18Good assignment for you there, Gene.
00:19:19What in the world?
00:19:20Well, well, oh my...
00:19:21Dillinger's not going to dance, is he?
00:19:24I hope not.
00:19:25You're having a lot of time here, and then if you go over that a lot of time, then it will
00:19:33see you somewhere down around the waterfront.
00:19:36Thank goodness.
00:19:37I thought I'd never say thank goodness for Doug Dillinger, but thank goodness for Doug Dillinger.
00:19:42Come out here.
00:19:42My goodness.
00:19:44All right, we continue with action.
00:19:45Fans, do not forget.
00:19:47We will have in this program the long-awaited, hopefully, we will find out the long-awaited
00:19:53reason why Bret Hart did what he did.
00:19:56As he and a Hollywood Hogan, we understand, will be out here looking at each other eye-to-eye.
00:20:02The very first time since Bret Hart came aboard.
00:20:08I say came aboard in WCW, but maybe all the talk with Bret Hart, remember, and Eric Bischoff,
00:20:15remember they came out on this program and they had the Canadian flags and they welcomed
00:20:19Bret Hart in.
00:20:20Maybe this was all a grand design.
00:20:23We're talking about those huge multi-million dollar contracts that they were offering at
00:20:27that time.
00:20:29We're going to get those questions resolved and answered here tonight.
00:20:35Now, Eddie Guerrero will face Booker T with a television belt here.
00:20:39At least that's what our lineup says here.
00:20:42But notice how he pointed Chavo into the ring, maybe just to hold the ropes open for him.
00:20:47But the fans stand up, and you can see the sign.
00:20:49That means raising the roof, and that means the television champion, Booker T, will make
00:20:54his way out here on Nitro.
00:21:01He just raised the roof in Norfolk.
00:21:05The Stoke Coliseum, downtown Norfolk, Virginia, has had some legendary wrestling events.
00:21:11Tonight, later on, they will see NWO against WCW as a team of Big Papa Pump.
00:21:19Scott Steiner, Bryan Adams and Conan face Sting, the Giant, and Lex Luger.
00:21:26And as we approach that match, we know where Conan's allegiance lies.
00:21:31We're not so sure about Bryan Adams or Big Papa Pump now, are we?
00:21:34Well, we'll find out if there are any more defections within the New World Order.
00:21:39Because last night, we found out that Conan was a part of the Wolfpack group, headed by
00:21:44Kevin Nash and the Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:21:47Hey, you know how glad I am to see this.
00:21:49Finally, all the dissension, all the mistrust, all the backstabbing went from the fears of
00:21:55WCW, right smack into the camp of the New World Order, the morons that started it all
00:22:00in the first place two years ago.
00:22:02Let's see how they like a taste of their own medicine.
00:22:06Eddie Guerrero, fine competitor, a man who certainly won his share of titles in the less
00:22:12than two years he's been in WCW, to face Booker T, the TV belt on the line here.
00:22:18What was Eddie doing?
00:22:19Showing Chavo, now watch me, I'm going to show you how to do this, kid.
00:22:23Getting very cocky.
00:22:24Eddie, not a very big guy, but he's getting way too big for his boots.
00:22:29Remember, 10-minute time limit for the television belt here on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:22:33The bell sounds, Mark Curtis, the referee, and here we go.
00:22:36Booker T with the obvious slight advantage here, but Eddie Guerrero has obviously been
00:22:40able to make it up.
00:22:41Here's a man who started out in the Cruiserweight division.
00:22:43Guerrero went on to become the United States champion.
00:22:46So he's been successful in both weight classes.
00:22:48And the fans detest Eddie Guerrero, something that he has certainly earned over the past
00:22:55couple of months.
00:22:55The size isn't everything.
00:22:59Movement and science is the key.
00:23:02And the only thing is, Booker T, for a big man, can probably jump higher than Eddie.
00:23:07That's probably right.
00:23:07He probably has one of the greatest vertical leaps in our sport.
00:23:11Does Booker T.
00:23:12Certainly another man in that category.
00:23:14It has to be Sting, who we'll see in a six-man tag, former world champion, still a little
00:23:19bit later on in this telecast.
00:23:21Eddie trying to psych now Booker T and the referee out here.
00:23:25Every little trick the Guerrero's ever learned, Eddie's going to have to put the used hair
00:23:29against the bigger anti-gravity machine, Booker T.
00:23:34You know, when Eddie won the match, Mike, on Thunder and won the match over Chavo, there
00:23:38was really no time limit, nor any really end to what Chavo had to do to serve Eddie, to
00:23:45do anything Eddie says.
00:23:46Is this like full life, if I can borrow that term?
00:23:48Or will Chavo finally say, hey, enough is enough, and go his own way?
00:23:52Well, it must be, because from that point forward, Chavo Guerrero Jr. has been a man of
00:23:56his word, doing everything that he can to follow his uncle, Eddie Guerrero.
00:24:04To the arm once again.
00:24:06Well, fans, we have been on Pins and Needles all night about Bret Hart.
00:24:10We told you at the top of the telecast, we've told you many, many times during this telecast
00:24:14that Bret Hart is here.
00:24:15He has something to say, and he is going to say it not only to the fans, he is going
00:24:20to say it to Hollywood Hogan later on here tonight in this telecast.
00:24:24So stay right where you are, our special Tuesday edition of WCW, if you will, Monday Nitro.
00:24:31Maybe Bret Hart will tell us why he did what he did.
00:24:34There's been a lot of speculation, there's been a lot of people say, well, I did it because
00:24:37he wants to be the one to win the title from Hogan.
00:24:40There are people who say, well, he wants to now be a part of Hogan's end of the NWO, or
00:24:45maybe there's another reason.
00:24:48Hopefully we'll find it here tonight because he says he's going to tell us.
00:24:51He called Hollywood Hogan the world's champ, said he wanted to look him directly in the
00:24:55sky and explain the situation to the world.
00:24:58We'll find out later this evening on this special Tuesday edition of Nitro.
00:25:04As Chavo, with disgust, looks on.
00:25:08Certainly he can learn a lot from Eddie because Eddie is quite a textbook wrestler.
00:25:13He knows all the holes, how to apply them.
00:25:15I mean, you talked about speed and science, Larry.
00:25:17He certainly uses all of that.
00:25:18But I think there's more that he can read into this.
00:25:22He knows what not to do as far as the attitude in the era against Eddie Guerrero.
00:25:27Well, any younger member can learn from anybody that's been more experienced.
00:25:32I mean, Chavo, Watson, Eddie is a learning experience.
00:25:36Watson, Booker T is a learning experience.
00:25:38Thing is, can you translate what you see into what you can do?
00:25:43That's what separates the men from the boys.
00:25:46The whip in.
00:25:54Down low.
00:25:56Big forearm shot.
00:25:58Bret Hart not only has something to tell us here tonight, but it'll be he and the macho
00:26:03man Randy Savage one-on-one at Slambury.
00:26:08We heard earlier from the macho man Randy Savage, the comments he made about Bret Hart.
00:26:13Certainly, he is the last man, Randy Savage, that you want angry, that you want focused
00:26:18on you.
00:26:19As great a wrestler as Bret Hart is, what a match.
00:26:22It's going to be coming up at Slambury.
00:26:23A good roll through that time.
00:26:25As Bret Hart and the macho man will collide.
00:26:28And how about the Alliance Sting and the Giant have made together to try to bring the tag team
00:26:32championship back to world championship wrestling?
00:26:35Well, I tell you, I love that.
00:26:37I hate seeing the belts around the face of the Outsiders.
00:26:41I bet he's got any more teeth left in there.
00:26:45Climbing the top.
00:26:48Perched on the top turnbuckle.
00:26:50The television champ, he's trying and gets the missile dropkick on.
00:26:54Could be it.
00:26:55One, two, three.
00:26:57Well, let's see what Chavo Jr. learned from that one.
00:27:02Stay out of the way of the missile dropkick is what he learned from that one.
00:27:06He is still the television champion.
00:27:08Booker T defeats Eddie Guerrero and holds on to the TV belt here on Nitro.
00:27:16Now, let's see.
00:27:18Explain yourself now, Uncle Eddie.
00:27:23See if Eddie's trying to tell him it's not his fault.
00:27:27Oh, he's got to take it out on Chavo Jr. because he ran out of excuses.
00:27:32Of course he is.
00:27:33How much more can young Chavo Jr. take from his uncle?
00:27:39And the fans want to see it stop right now.
00:27:42Listen to him.
00:27:44All right, here it is again, Larry.
00:27:45Well, watch.
00:27:45Look at Booker T come up.
00:27:47Big agile man.
00:27:48Pops right up.
00:27:49And he has no idea the big man's up so fast.
00:27:52Bam!
00:27:52Right smack across the mouth.
00:27:55Eddie Guerrero is down.
00:27:57Booker T eyeing him up like a hawk.
00:28:00And watch this move.
00:28:01Nails him.
00:28:02Right smack in the solar plex.
00:28:04Eddie is down for the count.
00:28:06Your winner and still the world television champion is Booker T.
00:28:10We'll be joined by Bobby the Brain Heenan.
00:28:12And don't forget, six-man action.
00:28:14WCW versus the NWO.
00:28:16And we'll hear from Bret Hart later on tonight on this Tuesday edition of Nitro.
00:28:22Let me get the brain.
00:28:27Hour number two is off and running on this Tuesday edition of Nitro.
00:28:33And, of course, it's the second half of a Monday Tuesday doubleheader brought to you by WCW and D&T right before the NBA playoffs here tonight.
00:28:45Still to come, six-man tag.
00:28:47Sting will team with the giant.
00:28:49The man he'll team with.
00:28:50They're going to go after the World Tag Team Championship at Slamboree.
00:28:53Lex Luger, their partner, against Conan, Ryan Adams, and big pop-a-pump Scott Steiner.
00:28:59The new world order still to come in this telecan.
00:29:01And, of course, as we said, the answer, hopefully, from Bret Hart on why he did what he did over a week ago, helping Hollywood Hogan become the world champion.
00:29:11We're joined by Bobby the Brain Heenan.
00:29:13The only explanation the Macho Man Randy Savage needs is in the ring, and he'll get Bret Hart in the ring on May 17th at Slamboree.
00:29:20And I understand they've never met before.
00:29:21They've never been in the ring together.
00:29:23They've never wrestled one-on-one.
00:29:25Both of them top competitors.
00:29:26You know that.
00:29:27You know the desire in Macho Man Savage.
00:29:29You know the will to win inside of Bret Hart.
00:29:32They'll both cheat and do anything they can.
00:29:33It'll be a great fight.
00:29:34It is going to be a great fight on May 17th, coming up next month.
00:29:37And you know, Mike, today, Bret Hart said last night that he would not give us his answer.
00:29:41Why?
00:29:42He would wait until he saw Hogan here tonight.
00:29:44He evaded the question of why Bret, why, last evening.
00:29:47He promises in a face-to-face showdown with Hogan tonight that we will get the answer.
00:29:52Here's what he said.
00:29:56You know, Randy Savage, for years you've talked about me.
00:30:00But you've never once had the guts to step in the ring with me.
00:30:03And now, all of a sudden, you climb up from underneath your rock.
00:30:08And you want to challenge me to a match at Slamboree.
00:30:13You're half troll and half lizard.
00:30:16But you don't got what it takes to beat me.
00:30:19You never did.
00:30:19And you never will.
00:30:21You know, you are evading my question.
00:30:23Why, Bret, why would you ever come to the aid of Hollywood Hulk Hogan?
00:30:28Why, Bret, why?
00:30:29You know, I hear that all the time.
00:30:31That's all I ever hear.
00:30:32I've heard it for the past week.
00:30:34And I've heard it for the past five months.
00:30:37But the fact of the matter is, it's something that I want to say to Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
00:30:43The world heavyweight champion.
00:30:47I want to look him in the eye.
00:30:49And because he's not here right now, we'll have to make it tomorrow night.
00:30:53And tomorrow night, you get Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
00:30:56You bring him to the ring.
00:30:58You come if you want to.
00:30:59And I want to tell Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
00:31:01I want to tell the rest of the world exactly why I did what I did.
00:31:07And I'm not going to say another word about it until you get Hollywood Hulk Hogan face-to-face with me.
00:31:12Where I can explain it in perfect crystal detail.
00:31:16Well, I don't know if it can be explained in crystal clear detail.
00:31:20But, you know, you've always said that you perhaps have gotten screwed over by a certain promoter.
00:31:26Or by other people in this business.
00:31:28And now, don't you think you've handed a little bit of that same medicine out to your peers, if you will?
00:31:34Who are you?
00:31:34Who are you to judge me?
00:31:38I'm playing a devil's advocate.
00:31:40I can ask questions.
00:31:41There's no rhyme or reason.
00:31:43There's nothing that makes any sense anymore.
00:31:45And I'm tired.
00:31:46I am sick and tired of sitting on the back bench.
00:31:49It's time for the hitman to arrive.
00:31:52And I finally made my presence clear.
00:31:56You can tell.
00:31:57You can tell by the demeanor or by the response to Gene Okerlund.
00:32:00A man that we all thought Bret Hart respected.
00:32:03When he confronted Okerlund right there very briefly.
00:32:05That Bret Hart, if nothing else, seems to me to be very, very bitter.
00:32:09What it's about, I don't know.
00:32:11But he's very bitter.
00:32:12And that bitterness certainly came to light last Monday.
00:32:16When he helped Hollywood Hogan not only win the world title, but when he nailed Roddy Piper.
00:32:21Well, he changed our thoughts about standing for tradition.
00:32:24And you can see by that interview with Gene Okerlund from last night.
00:32:28He has absolutely no respect for Okerlund.
00:32:31I guess anyone associated with world championship wrestling.
00:32:33It's time for him to do some explaining.
00:32:35Well, like he said, he was going to come here and take the NWO apart brick by brick.
00:32:39Well, he stabbed everybody in the back.
00:32:41You saw that.
00:32:42You saw what he did to the fans.
00:32:43You saw what he did to...
00:32:45Just everybody he's been in contact with.
00:32:47By his eyes and his demeanor, the way he was talking here.
00:32:51There's something burning inside of this man.
00:32:53We're going to find out.
00:32:53Well, here comes Saturn along with Kidman and Marty Gennetti.
00:33:00Fine athlete will go at him here in this one-on-one matchup.
00:33:07To the side of the head, to the midsection.
00:33:09Saturn trying to get the offense going quickly here.
00:33:13You know, Saturn comes into a match.
00:33:15You notice he never tries to outsmart the opponent and have him make a mistake.
00:33:18He just goes right through the guy.
00:33:20Just like that.
00:33:21Just goes right in and gets it done.
00:33:23Full speed ahead.
00:33:24Yeah, there's no finesse in Saturn.
00:33:27You know exactly what you're in for when Saturn is in the ring.
00:33:30And certainly here's a man who talked about the flock and how they have banded around
00:33:34and they've stuck together with Raven.
00:33:36But there have been some problems within the flock, namely Saturn and the big man Hammer.
00:33:40They've had their problems.
00:33:41They've had their fights.
00:33:42And I think it's resulted in members of the flock, I don't know who, starting to go their own way.
00:33:47Well, as we've seen in the past, Saturn is the enforcer of the flock.
00:33:51Seems to be number two in line behind Raven.
00:33:54But there have certainly been problems with Hammer, especially as they relate to Saturn and Goldberg.
00:33:59How about that kick right on target on Giannetti.
00:34:03And big leg drop from standing leg drop that time from Saturn.
00:34:07Fans want to let you know that because of the NBA playoffs going on this entire month
00:34:11and leading up to the month of June, we're not so sure exactly when we're going to be able to take the air next week.
00:34:16We invite you to check your local listings for the time of WCW Nitro next week.
00:34:21We will be on the air next week.
00:34:23Just depends on who advances in the playoffs.
00:34:26And, of course, that'll be unclear until this week, later this week.
00:34:30But Nitro will be on the air next week.
00:34:32Make sure to check your local listings.
00:34:34And don't miss a minute, an hour, of wrestling's number one program, Nitro.
00:34:38I got my money on the Cubs.
00:34:41Stop it.
00:34:41Up from behind.
00:34:44Good maneuver.
00:34:45Saturn very, very quick as well.
00:34:47Oh, Marty Giannetti.
00:34:48He measured in him and caught him, did the veteran.
00:34:50And Giannetti hits the middle ropes now.
00:34:53And he drives the fist into the forehead of Saturn.
00:34:56Back to the attack once again.
00:35:02Big night coming up on the 17th of May for WCW.
00:35:06You know, Sting has been looking for payback from Kevin Nash.
00:35:10Here's a cover.
00:35:12One, two, three.
00:35:14Wow, new finishing move for Saturn.
00:35:16We see the Death Valley driver lays out Marty Giannetti and covers him and gets the three count.
00:35:25A brand new hold for Saturn.
00:35:28He gets a win here on Nitro.
00:35:31It is now.
00:35:32What are you looking at?
00:35:34And Saturn picks up a great win.
00:35:36Fans still to come.
00:35:38Much more action.
00:35:39Goldberg will be out.
00:35:40When we come back, we'll hear from one diamond Dallas Page.
00:35:43In the ring is me, Gene.
00:35:49Gene, take it away.
00:35:50Thank you very much, Tony.
00:35:51We are on the shank of the evening here in Norfolk, Virginia, tonight with this special
00:35:55audition of WCW Nitro.
00:35:58And with that, to this packed crowd tonight, I want to welcome one of the great superstars
00:36:04in the world today.
00:36:06He is the Diamond Cutter Ace, Diamond Dallas Page.
00:36:13Well, he no longer wears the United States Heavyweight Championship belt, but there's one title that
00:36:21you'll never be able to take away from DDP, and that's People's Champion Diamond Dallas Page.
00:36:27Yeah, but that won't make you a dime.
00:36:29That won't make you one...
00:36:32...dime.
00:36:33But as we found out last week, when he cleared the ring of everyone, that he is looking for
00:36:43one person, and that person is Raven.
00:36:48An issue, a burning issue that will not go away.
00:36:51This man beats business.
00:36:52You can see the way he walks to the ring.
00:36:56I'd love to see him diamond cut over on you.
00:36:59Ah, I think you would, Eden.
00:37:00Oh!
00:37:01I don't want to rattle my shorts a little bit.
00:37:04Diamond Dallas, last week, last week, you came out and virtually cleaned house.
00:37:09Now, this thing between you and Raven has obviously gotten very personal.
00:37:15As a matter of fact, you got on a mic, you got on a horn, you called him out, but he walked
00:37:20away.
00:37:21As a matter of fact, you hit a very sensitive nerve with Raven.
00:37:24What's going to happen?
00:37:25How's this thing going to shake out?
00:37:26The only reason I called Raven down last week was because I want him to experience DDP's
00:37:39Big Bang Theory.
00:37:42That is.
00:37:47And obviously, he walked away, so I had to take it personal.
00:37:52I had to hit a little nerve inside of him.
00:37:58I ain't seen him in the building, and I've been here for a while, but I know there's a
00:38:03good shot he's going to be here.
00:38:05So, let's get real personal tonight, Raven.
00:38:10Come on down now and feel the bang!
00:38:15All right, Tony, Bobby, Mike today.
00:38:18Diamond Dallas Page has called out Raven.
00:38:24I see members of the flock are headed toward the ring area.
00:38:28That's Billy Kidman and Sick Bile.
00:38:30I don't see any Raven.
00:38:35I don't see any Raven, but there's got to be some kind of an explanation for this.
00:38:43Gentlemen, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait just a second.
00:38:45What is going on here, guys?
00:38:49Hey, you don't want to kill the messengers.
00:38:54Kidman, you're more than a messenger.
00:38:56I know that.
00:38:57Yo, burrito boy.
00:39:01Raven couldn't make it here tonight, but because of your hurtful and moronic comments, he sent
00:39:09a video specially for you.
00:39:12A video?
00:39:13A video.
00:39:13Hey, Riggs, roll it.
00:39:16Wait a second here, Tony.
00:39:19Apparently, something on the video wall.
00:39:21All right, I think now we're going to see that video they were talking about.
00:39:25Maybe they just woke Riggs up.
00:39:26I don't know what to make of this.
00:39:28Hey, Paige, you want to talk about the pain that I put my family through?
00:39:35Well, what about what you did to yours?
00:39:38You say your mother had three kids before she was 20 and divorced.
00:39:43Well, how much must she have despised you to let you go live with your father when you
00:39:49were just a toddler, knowing full well that you'd be shuttled from family to family?
00:39:56You say you can't remember a thing up until you were eight years old and that you're okay
00:40:02with this?
00:40:04Are you really, Paige?
00:40:06Are you really?
00:40:07You want to get your hands on me.
00:40:11You say you're not through with me.
00:40:14Well, Paige, we've done it.
00:40:16I've beaten you.
00:40:17It's over.
00:40:19It's over, Paige.
00:40:21So it is written.
00:40:23So it shall come to pass.
00:40:25Quote the Raven.
00:40:27Nevermore.
00:40:29We are hearing right now from Raven making comments regarding you, Diamond Dallas.
00:40:34I don't think I'm going to get anywhere here between Paige and these two men.
00:40:42Where's Raven?
00:40:44Hey, hey, hey.
00:40:46Now there's a diamond cutter.
00:40:48And there goes Kidman.
00:40:50Boy, did he scoot.
00:40:53Feet, don't fail me now.
00:40:55I tell you, you don't want to confront DDP.
00:40:59DDP.
00:41:00DDP.
00:41:02Well, he has a right to be mad like today based on the comments we just heard from Raven.
00:41:08This has really become a deep, personal issue between the two.
00:41:12In the past couple of weeks, both men have brought families into this situation.
00:41:17Raven avoided the face-to-face confrontation tonight, but the score has yet to be settled
00:41:22between Diamond Dallas, Paige, and Raven.
00:41:25You can't believe that star is going to meet Senator Perry soon in the ring as the former
00:41:29U.S. heavyweight champion.
00:41:31DDP in the band here at the Norfolk Scope here on Nitron.
00:41:36Oh, yeah.
00:41:36He remains the people's champion, Diamond Dallas, Paige.
00:41:39Look at this.
00:41:40Look at this.
00:41:42Kidman looking at Paige.
00:41:44Is that a fan?
00:41:45Apparently it was.
00:41:47Look at security.
00:41:48Someone attacked Kidman from behind, and security has wrestled this man down to the
00:41:55ringside area.
00:41:56My goodness, it's wild here tonight.
00:41:58When we come back, U.S. heavyweight champion Goldberg in action on this Tuesday edition of
00:42:05Monday Nitro.
00:43:15The arenas around the world where we sell out Nitro, we sell out Thunder.
00:43:19As you know, when Goldberg is imminent, when he's just about ready to come to the ring,
00:43:23he has become a megastar.
00:43:24And we have seen the birth of Goldberg right here on this program each and every week, Mike
00:43:30Today.
00:43:30Really has been amazing the way it's evolved over the past few months with the winning
00:43:34streak, the fan support, the eventual United States Heavyweight Championship reign.
00:43:40And it is now at 77-0, the streak against, the streak for Goldberg against Jerry Flynn.
00:43:48And you know, among those 77 previous victories, I can remember a couple of bouts with Jerry Flynn,
00:43:53and I remember them as being very competitive matchups.
00:43:57Matter of fact, prior to that bout with Scott Norton last night, matches with Jerry Flynn
00:44:01were among the most competitive that we had seen in Goldberg's career.
00:44:05You know, at 77 matches in my career, I had the exact same record, except my zeros on the other side.
00:44:10Yeah, 53-1.
00:44:12Where were you?
00:44:14Okay.
00:44:14Where were you at 154?
00:44:17Same place I was at 77.
00:44:19But here he comes.
00:44:20There is no denying.
00:44:22I made good time, though.
00:44:24I bet you did.
00:44:24There's no denying what this man has become.
00:44:27The United States Champion.
00:44:29Yes, there you see it.
00:44:30Pointed by our own Bobby the Brain.
00:44:32Heated Goldberg is the man.
00:44:34He is the man, all right.
00:44:36And here he comes again.
00:44:37Same demeanor, same attitude, and it seems the man comes out calmly, almost meditates.
00:44:47The pyro ignites, and Goldberg explodes to the ring.
00:44:52Well, you've seen the psych job right here.
00:44:54He's doing to himself.
00:44:55A lot of guys do it in the dressing room.
00:44:57A lot of guys do it out back, get themselves ready.
00:44:59He just comes out, gets himself ready, and then goes to town on that win streak.
00:45:04The key to Jerry Flynn's previous success against Goldberg was his well-rounded attack.
00:45:12Combination of martial arts, various kicks that he loves to employ, as well as a good ground game.
00:45:17A submission fighting background for Jerry Flynn.
00:45:20And as you can see by the eyes, Goldberg fears no one, nor anyone's style.
00:45:27And now Flynn trying rapid-fire kicks.
00:45:31Back leg front kicks, reversal.
00:45:33Tried a spin-wheel kick, and he just fell to the mat that time as Goldberg was just too quick for him.
00:45:37He just ran right through him that time.
00:45:39And Goldberg muscles him over.
00:45:41Boy, you're not kidding.
00:45:42He muscled him over.
00:45:44Who's the man who's gonna beat him?
00:45:49Well, it's not Flynn.
00:45:50We go back.
00:45:51No, no.
00:45:51It's not gonna be Flynn.
00:45:53I smell 78.
00:45:56So do the fans, Goldberg.
00:45:58I smell Jackhammer.
00:46:01That's your business.
00:46:04And you're gonna see.
00:46:05Jackhammer, look out.
00:46:06Long, he holds him up.
00:46:07Services for Mr. Flynn are now.
00:46:16Goldberg, look at the trapezius, the chest, the deltoid, the arms.
00:46:21He's immense.
00:46:24He is the United States Heavyweight Champion.
00:46:27And he is 78 and zip.
00:46:35The question has been, who's next?
00:46:37I got another question.
00:46:39Who in the world wants to be next?
00:46:41Avoid this man, wrestlers.
00:46:42Look at this.
00:46:43Just sheer brute force.
00:46:46Takes Flynn up and over.
00:46:48Now he's had enough.
00:46:49Drives Flynn to the mat.
00:46:51It's just about over now.
00:46:52Everyone knows it.
00:46:54Goldberg knows it.
00:46:54Especially Flynn knows it.
00:46:56He's been upside down so long you think he's been in the Poseidon.
00:47:00Drops him to the mat.
00:47:01And there's your winner.
00:47:0378 and zip.
00:47:04The United States Champion.
00:47:06The man, Goldberg.
00:47:08And as he walks back towards the locker room area, they're still standing and
00:47:12chanting the name of Goldberg here in the Norfolk Scope Connoisseum.
00:47:17Still to come, we are gonna hear from Bret Hart as he will look Hollywood Hogan in
00:47:21the eye and tell the world why.
00:47:23But coming up next, Sting the Giant and Luger against members of the NWO.
00:47:28Sixth Man.
00:47:32Fans, we welcome you back to WCW Monday Night Show.
00:47:34And as we said last night, we do have an update on the condition of one Bub Magwell,
00:47:39who suffered just a horrible accident last Wednesday on Thunder from Columbia, South Carolina.
00:47:45You've seen it over and over again.
00:47:47He did undergo neck surgery on his spine.
00:47:51We do understand he had a few vertebrae fused.
00:47:54We understand he is in stable condition in the hospital right now.
00:47:57But here's the great news.
00:48:00Doctors say his prognosis is good.
00:48:04To come back to action is gonna be very lengthy.
00:48:09A neck injury is one that takes a long, long time to heal.
00:48:12It's not anything that's gonna bring Bub Bagwell back to the ring very, very quickly.
00:48:16But Bub Bagwell hopefully will be back as soon as possible.
00:48:20That's great news.
00:48:21Well, especially this profession, you know, it's not like working at a Waffle House or something.
00:48:26You know, it's a little different here.
00:48:27It's tough.
00:48:28And certainly the athletes put their careers, their lives on the line each and every week
00:48:33when they come out here for Nitro and, of course, come out here for Thunder as well.
00:48:37By the way, there will be no Thunder this week.
00:48:40But there will be Michael Buffer in our big main event in the ring.
00:48:43Here we go.
00:48:44Ladies and gentlemen, the ongoing struggle for power, honor, and glory between the WCW
00:48:52and the NWO continues right here in this ring.
00:48:58Six men, three against three, are about to face each other in this, the WCW Nitro main event.
00:49:10Are you ready?
00:49:14I'm ready.
00:49:16Wrestling fans, are you ready?
00:49:26I'm ready.
00:49:27For the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching around the world.
00:49:37Ladies and gentlemen, let's get ready to rumble!
00:49:46And with that, WCW once again makes another big stamp on the big-time sports scene
00:49:51around the world, here on TNT, it's time for a mega six-man WCW, NWO Struggle,
00:50:00our feature found in the second half of our Monday, Tuesday Nitro Doubleheader.
00:50:05Well, there's Conan, K-Dog, coming to the ring first,
00:50:14representing the new world order, 825 and one-half pounds of demolition.
00:50:20First, weighing 249 pounds, the NWO representation for La Raza.
00:50:27And at 301 pounds from Kona Hawaii, the NWO power of power, Bryan Adams.
00:50:49And from the Motor City, Detroit, Michigan, at 276 and one-half pounds,
00:50:58a former member of the tag team world champion, Steiner Brothers.
00:51:04Ladies and gentlemen, Big Pop-a-Pump, Scott Steiner!
00:51:12Look at that!
00:51:15With his hardware, Big Pop-a-Pump, we have talked about the burning question.
00:51:20We know whose side Conan is on.
00:51:23That's been well documented, but what about Scott Steiner?
00:51:26What about Vincent?
00:51:27What about Bryan Adams?
00:51:28Fans, when we come back, Sting, Luger and the Giant will come out and
00:51:32we'll collide on Nitro.
00:51:34This portion of WCW Monday Nitro brought to you by Burger King.
00:51:42Get your burgers worth at Burger King.
00:51:44Ladies and gentlemen, now making their entrance to the ring and
00:51:51representing the WCW, three men known the world over.
00:51:57First at 267 pounds, the master of the torture rack of doom.
00:52:15The total package, let's go!
00:52:28Let's go!
00:52:29At standing 7 feet 4, weighing 5 under 1 pound.
00:52:34He's the man of danger and destruction with his Coke Slam.
00:52:38Here is Giant, and 261 pounds, professional wrestling's man of few words.
00:52:49The man known for the Scorpion Death Block, the man known as Sting!
00:52:57This is gonna separate the men from the boys.
00:53:01I mentioned this earlier.
00:53:05Sting is looking for payback from Kevin Nash and the NWO.
00:53:09Sting was really caught in the middle of Spring Stampede, the world champion at that time.
00:53:13Caught in the power struggle of the NWO.
00:53:16Savage won the world title.
00:53:18Hogan won it the night later.
00:53:19Sting feels that he and the Giant can go into Slamboree and win the world title from the Wolfpack.
00:53:25That'll bring back some of the glory to WCW, and he's right.
00:53:28But for Sting, I'm sure it's not gonna stop there.
00:53:31Here's a man that will never rest until vengeance is felt on the NWO.
00:53:36Well, Sting's focus remains on the new world order.
00:53:39He's just redirected it now, joining the Giant, and they will challenge the Outsiders.
00:53:45Kevin Nash and Scott Hall upcoming at Slamboree for the world's tag team titles.
00:53:50And now a six-man tag, and Conan and Scott Steiner on the outside.
00:53:56The big man Brian Adams, one of the most powerful, dangerous men in our sport.
00:54:01Look at his face and his concentration.
00:54:03But he realizes who he's in there with.
00:54:05He's talking about if we're getting ready to go, I know, later on tonight to the NBA playoffs.
00:54:09This is what you call home court advantage.
00:54:12We're in WCW territory here at the Norvick Skull.
00:54:16We're gonna show you an all different meaning to the word slam dunk.
00:54:22You're not kidding, Giant Headlock.
00:54:24And the big man, Adams, hooks on into the rope, runs over Sting with the near side ropes.
00:54:33Sting leaps in the air, and in the clutches gets the atomic drop.
00:54:38Boom.
00:54:42Coverage, one, two.
00:54:45We got a two count.
00:54:47Now, what I would do is I'd tag in quick.
00:54:49I wouldn't stay in there more than 30 seconds.
00:54:51I'd try to keep Sting in the corner, try to keep him immobile.
00:54:55Oh, my.
00:54:56But that's easier said than done.
00:54:58Yeah, he's anything but immobile right now.
00:55:00Here we go.
00:55:01He's going to the Scorpion Deathlock right now.
00:55:06Adams have the ropes.
00:55:07Sting drops the hold, and Adams goes to the outside.
00:55:11That's about the only place he could go.
00:55:14Tries to get himself a timeout.
00:55:17Legally cannot get one, but in effect will get himself one.
00:55:20If he can work the count of the referee here, who's up to five.
00:55:26Now, last night we found out that Conan has joined Kevin Nash
00:55:31and the Macho Man Randy Savage in the Wolf Pack.
00:55:34I wonder if we'll find out tonight in terms of Bryan Adams and Scott Steiner
00:55:38exactly where their allegiance lies within the NWO.
00:55:43Adams slowly to get back in the ring, and Sting makes sure he's in the corner.
00:55:46Speaking of big man, here we go.
00:55:48Oh, yeah.
00:55:51When he first arrived on the scene, it was at 4.50.
00:55:54Now over 500 pounds, the Giant.
00:56:00The tag to Conan, who doesn't seem to be too concerned about the Giant.
00:56:06What you gonna do, Big Man?
00:56:08What you gonna do?
00:56:10Look at this.
00:56:12Can you believe that Conan would be brazen enough to try something like that?
00:56:17That wasn't the smartest strategy.
00:56:19The only strategy against a man that size would be to hit and run,
00:56:21not to try to choke the man and get within his grasp.
00:56:25You gotta get him down is what you have to do.
00:56:27Sure. And you have to keep him in the corner.
00:56:29You're not gonna stand toe-to-toe with that man and match strength with the Giant.
00:56:33Yeah, the Steve Conan just jumps right into his arms.
00:56:36My goodness.
00:56:37Oh, the man!
00:56:39What is Conan thinking?
00:56:42A little bit of the NWO intimidation, and I really think that because he's made his choice,
00:56:47he wants to prove something to Big Sexy.
00:56:50Answers the Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:56:54But in effect, the Giant's having his way with Conan.
00:56:57It's like he's walking around the supermarket shopping.
00:56:59That's what it looks like.
00:57:00A 200-pound bag of potatoes over his arm.
00:57:03With the greatest of ease, if I can use that old term.
00:57:07He just has the man up in the air and now sits him on the top turnbuckle.
00:57:11Wrong place for Conan to be.
00:57:13Better get out of town, amigo.
00:57:15Conan tries to run out of the way and gets whipped back into the corner, and here comes Luger.
00:57:21Uh-oh.
00:57:22Big Papa Pump.
00:57:26And the fans wanna see it.
00:57:30A total package.
00:57:35Big Papa Pump.
00:57:36Big Papa Pump flexing his muscles, and he is.
00:57:40Oh, yeah.
00:57:44Oh, my goodness.
00:57:45He wants a little pose down here with Luger's what he wants, I do believe.
00:57:48Or does he?
00:57:53Luger doesn't wanna pose.
00:57:55Luger wants to beat him at the wrestling game.
00:57:58That's what he wants to do.
00:57:59He dropped the singlet there to show his body.
00:58:01And you got a stalemate there.
00:58:03Come on.
00:58:04Steiner down here to do it again.
00:58:07He ducks a leg.
00:58:08Luger sends Steiner down again.
00:58:10Two in a row.
00:58:11Atomic drop.
00:58:16Conan double X handle from behind.
00:58:19And watch out other side.
00:58:20Into the gut.
00:58:21Double underhook.
00:58:23That gives Scott Steiner the opening to send Luger down hard.
00:58:27Come on.
00:58:32You talk about a man who's proud of how he looks.
00:58:34You talk a man who wants everyone to know I'm in the best shape of my life.
00:58:39That's Scott Steiner.
00:58:41Proud of how he looks.
00:58:42He's loving himself is what he is.
00:58:44I'm gonna say that again.
00:58:46And now as Luger down and taking the full measure of this advantage here.
00:58:51Scott Steiner.
00:58:54Just leveling Luger.
00:58:57You look at Scott and look at the new look that Steiner has sometimes.
00:59:02And I remember the greatest tag team wrestlers ever.
00:59:07That's all gone now.
00:59:09But now he's come into his own I believe.
00:59:12It's good to see him like this.
00:59:13It's good to see him.
00:59:14It is not.
00:59:15We have.
00:59:16By Luger.
00:59:19How about that taking two men down with one running start out of a neutral corner.
00:59:24Double your pleasure, double your fun Luger.
00:59:27Almost a dual clothesline that time by Luger as he exploded out of the corner.
00:59:31Leveling both Scott Steiner and Conan.
00:59:33They went for a tag.
00:59:34They went for a tag and Bryan Adams.
00:59:37Bryan Adams dropped off the apron.
00:59:39Bryan Adams is walking out.
00:59:40He's leaving.
00:59:41You gotta be kidding.
00:59:42Bryan Adams has walked out.
00:59:44On Steiner.
00:59:45He's walked out on Conan.
00:59:48It's like Conan is hitting the happy path too.
00:59:51Bryan Adams is gone.
00:59:53Can you believe what we've seen?
00:59:55That leaves Vincent in there.
00:59:58Why not?
00:59:59Bring him in.
01:00:00What's three on three?
01:00:02Chokeslam on Vincent.
01:00:05Wait, Steiner, he's getting out of there.
01:00:07He's had enough.
01:00:08The referee called him the bell because Vincent got involved in the match.
01:00:13It's gonna be what a count out maybe is what I've been told.
01:00:18Could be.
01:00:19Yeah, it's a count out.
01:00:21You can count them out.
01:00:22You can count Vincent out.
01:00:24WCW wins, but guys the story here.
01:00:26All right, here's the official word.
01:00:27WCW, as a result of a count out, Giant, Sting, and Luger.
01:00:35But the story here is Bryan Adams dropping down.
01:00:39Refusing the tag.
01:00:41Refusing, walking away from Conan and Scott Steiner.
01:00:46Did he tell us whose side he's on there?
01:00:50Or is he on anyone's side?
01:00:52The problems continue for both sides of the NWO.
01:00:58And we'll hear from Bret Hart and Hollywood Hogan next.
01:01:01All right, ladies and gentlemen, we would not conclude this television program tonight without doing as we promised last night by his request, bringing out Bret the Hit Man Hart back here on Nitro.
01:01:20And his request, the key element here.
01:01:24Speaking of requests, what about the request to demand that was answered by Randy Savage to get Bret Hart in the ring?
01:01:31And he will at Slamboree on May 17th.
01:01:35But before we go there, maybe tonight we'll find out why Bret Hart did what he did.
01:01:42Well, it's time to tell the world he wants to look Hogan in the eye and explain exactly what he did last Monday.
01:01:53I wanna hear this.
01:01:59Bret Hart, we have all anxiously been waiting tonight for you to come on out here.
01:02:05You're not gonna be talking to anybody but me, eye to eye.
01:02:09And again, I don't wanna sound like a broken record, but Bret, why have you done what you have done?
01:02:16Why, Bret, why?
01:02:20Shut up.
01:02:21Look.
01:02:23I said something about saying something face-to-face to Hollywood Hogan.
01:02:30And I wanna look him in the eye and tell him, why, Bret, why?
01:02:34So I'm not gonna say another word until I hear those magic tunes of Hulk Hogan.
01:02:41Let's hear it, bring him out.
01:02:42Well, wait a minute.
01:02:43Now, I'm not the great Creskin here.
01:02:45I just can't snap my fingers and deliver Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
01:02:49He may be now, I'm told, he may be back in the locker room area.
01:02:53Hulk Hogan, if you are listening, you heard what Bret the Hip Man Hart had to say.
01:02:58If you would join us, I would be most appreciative.
01:03:02I know it's a big thing to ask.
01:03:04Uh-oh.
01:03:05Aha!
01:03:10For night.
01:03:11Asking you to receive, Mr. Hart.
01:03:15This is gonna be a face-to-face for me, the world has been waiting for, guys.
01:03:20I don't think they've ever spoken.
01:03:23Oh, my goodness, he's brought this off with him.
01:03:25For night.
01:03:26Not good news.
01:03:29You know, wherever you see Hulk Hogan, this is the real-way champion of the United States.
01:03:34Guess what?
01:03:36He's the man, brother.
01:03:37Oh, my God.
01:03:38Oh, my God.
01:03:39Oh, my God.
01:03:40Oh, my God.
01:03:41Oh, my God.
01:03:45I think I have one before.
01:03:46Good?
01:03:47I can't.
01:03:48Oh.
01:03:49Oh, my God.
01:03:55Are you taking their time?
01:03:56Are you taking your time?
01:03:57I don't know how anxious Hollywood Hulk Hogan is to talk to you.
01:04:02to talk to you.
01:04:03The world's waiting, right?
01:04:04I know the world's waiting here tonight.
01:04:06Let them wait.
01:04:07Relax.
01:04:08Let them do it.
01:04:11Gentlemen, the talk is sticking here.
01:04:16Come on.
01:04:17Let Hart, here's what you asked for.
01:04:31I don't know how we did it, but we have delivered.
01:04:35What you wanted to say eye to eye with Hollywood Hulk Hogan,
01:04:40the heavyweight champion of the world.
01:04:43Before you go any further, it's Hollywood Hogan to you
01:04:47and anybody else that's listening.
01:04:49Hollywood Hogan.
01:04:51Hollywood Hogan.
01:04:55Hey, hey, hey, listen, listen.
01:04:58Some things I've waited a long, long time to say,
01:05:03and one of them is I want everyone to understand
01:05:09that you are somebody that I've looked up to for a long, long time.
01:05:21You know, you people don't understand that Hollywood Hogan
01:05:24is the highest paid wrestler in the history of wrestling.
01:05:33Nobody's made more money than you have.
01:05:39And Hollywood Hogan, you are without a doubt the most visibly recognized wrestler
01:05:46of all time.
01:05:47Nobody but nobody is recognized around the planet more than you are.
01:05:52You know something, Mr. Hart, I really appreciate you setting the record straight
01:06:04that everybody knows where Bret Hart lies.
01:06:07And thank you, brother, for telling it like it is.
01:06:11But there's a compliment.
01:06:13The biggest reason that I wanted you to be the world heavyweight champion is...
01:06:23Wait a minute here.
01:06:24Randy Savage, did you see this?
01:06:27What the hell are you doing messing with my business up?
01:06:30No!
01:06:31Get out of here!
01:06:32He didn't even get it out!
01:06:33He didn't even say the reason was!
01:06:35And Savage comes in, nails Bret Hart right in the mouth!
01:06:40And now, they're three men!
01:06:42They're gonna finish Savage off here.
01:06:47Boy, they really are.
01:06:48Shows you how mad this man is, walked into that ring, just took a shot at Bret Hart,
01:06:53and look at Savage taking the beating of his life right now.
01:06:56Check your local listings, we'll see you next week on Nitro!
01:07:00Oh, Savage and Thurbers!
01:07:02Let's do it!
01:07:03Let's do it!
