00:00:00And the world now awaits
00:00:30the tandem of the mailman Carl Malone and DDP
00:00:33against the Worm Dennis Rodman and Hollywood Hogan.
00:00:38Tonight on this telecast,
00:00:40we'll take you to the steps
00:00:42and tell you what has transpired
00:00:44leading up to Sunday, July 12th.
00:00:47And hi, everyone.
00:00:48This is Tony Schiavone,
00:00:50the professor Mike Taday.
00:00:51You know this man,
00:00:53the one and only living legend Larry Zabisco.
00:00:56Let me tell you something, Mike,
00:00:57when Dennis Rodman, during the playoffs,
00:01:01came to WCW Monday Nitro,
00:01:03he and Hollywood Hogan make quite an impact.
00:01:06But they also, we think,
00:01:08picked on the wrong man that night.
00:01:10Absolutely, Tony.
00:01:11While Jacksonville, Florida,
00:01:12is transformed into Larry Land,
00:01:14we can talk about all that incredible
00:01:16media speculation over the course
00:01:18of the past couple of weeks
00:01:19involving Carl Malone and Dennis Rodman.
00:01:22Well, it is speculation no longer
00:01:24because at Bash at the Beach,
00:01:25they are on opposite sides
00:01:27of a tag team matchup
00:01:28where Diamond Dallas Page
00:01:30and Carl Malone
00:01:31have quite an opportunity for payback.
00:01:33All right, let's show the fans
00:01:34the footage from WCW Monday Nitro.
00:01:36Larry, help me with this now.
00:01:37I was talking to Diamond Dallas Page.
00:01:41You were talking to Diamond Dallas.
00:01:42Look what comes up from behind us.
00:01:45There's the worm,
00:01:46Dennis Rodman.
00:01:47There's Hollywood Hulk Hogan
00:01:50from behind, typical attack
00:01:53of the white and the black.
00:01:56Typical attack from behind
00:01:58and that happened right
00:01:59when it appeared to me
00:02:00that Diamond Dallas Page
00:02:02was going to make some sort of decision
00:02:04based on an offer by the red
00:02:06and the black NWO Wolfpack.
00:02:08Well, fans, we go from there further.
00:02:11It was not too long after that
00:02:13that the two men showed up
00:02:15on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
00:02:17and started saying some unkind things
00:02:19towards Carl Malone.
00:02:21And this was all after the playoffs
00:02:22were over and everything.
00:02:23And of course, Dennis Rodman
00:02:24and Hollywood Hogan
00:02:25were having a lot of fun
00:02:26at the expense of the mailman,
00:02:27Carl Malone.
00:02:28Well, Tony, just another opportunity
00:02:30for payback for Diamond Dallas Page
00:02:32and Carl Malone,
00:02:34especially after the,
00:02:35well, I guess the fire was fueled
00:02:37on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
00:02:38thanks to none other than
00:02:40Hollywood Hogan and Rod Zilla.
00:02:42With that in mind,
00:02:43we take you to meet Dean Oakland.
00:02:45All right, Tony, thank you.
00:02:46We've got a capacity crowd here
00:02:48and so much news
00:02:49when it comes to WCW and, yes,
00:02:51the NWO, Jacksonville.
00:02:54Please join me
00:02:55as I welcome
00:02:57one of the great stars of today,
00:03:00Diamond Dallas Page.
00:03:03Oh, yeah.
00:03:10Yeah, here he comes, DDP.
00:03:14It's amazing.
00:03:16A brutal attack,
00:03:17unprovoked,
00:03:19from behind,
00:03:20say what you want,
00:03:21cowardly attack
00:03:22from Hollywood Hogan
00:03:23and the worm Dennis Rodman
00:03:24can do.
00:03:27But DDP has secured him
00:03:28arguably one of the toughest men
00:03:31ever
00:03:32on the basketball court.
00:03:39Object
00:03:40to be
00:03:41a
00:03:41Jackson
00:03:43fan!
00:03:46Well,
00:03:46DDP
00:03:46enduring themselves
00:03:48to this great crowd
00:03:49here tonight.
00:03:50I need to talk business.
00:03:52Tony, Mike, Larry,
00:03:53you'll all have to agree.
00:03:55So much mainstream press
00:03:57and media attention
00:03:58being given
00:03:59the big announcement
00:03:59this past Thursday
00:04:00at Planet Hollywood
00:04:02in Beverly Hills, California.
00:04:04So there's no confusion.
00:04:06It's going to be
00:04:07Hollywood Hogan
00:04:09and Rod Zilla,
00:04:10yes, Dennis Rodman,
00:04:12meeting Carl Malone,
00:04:14the mailman,
00:04:15and you, Diamond Dallas Page.
00:04:17What's the game plan
00:04:18for July the 12th?
00:04:19Bash at the Beach, San Diego,
00:04:21and live on Pay-Per-View.
00:04:23DDP!
00:04:26DDP!
00:04:28DDP!
00:04:29DDP!
00:04:30DDP!
00:04:32DDP!
00:04:33DDP!
00:04:33DDP!
00:04:34DDP!
00:04:34DDP!
00:04:34DDP!
00:04:35DDP!
00:04:35DDP!
00:04:35DDP!
00:04:35DDP!
00:04:36DDP!
00:04:36DDP!
00:04:37I guess there's an answer
00:04:38in there somewhere.
00:04:39Good God.
00:04:42It's like a dream match
00:04:43come true for me.
00:04:44You know it, Gino.
00:04:47The mailman,
00:04:49Carl Malone,
00:04:51and DDP
00:04:52going up against
00:04:55Rod Zilla.
00:04:59Whatever.
00:05:01He's been called
00:05:02a lot of things.
00:05:03Dennis the Worm Rodman
00:05:05and Hollywood
00:05:07Scum
00:05:08Hogan.
00:05:09Hogan.
00:05:14Now, Hogan,
00:05:16you know between me
00:05:18and you,
00:05:18it's real personal,
00:05:20so it's real easy.
00:05:22Over the last year and a half,
00:05:25I ain't forgotten nothing.
00:05:27So,
00:05:28when it comes down
00:05:30to me and you,
00:05:31it's going to be real easy.
00:05:36I'm sick to death,
00:05:39Hogan,
00:05:39of your sushi-eating,
00:05:42movie-making,
00:05:43fat cat laid back,
00:05:46living off your legend,
00:05:48South!
00:05:52Yeah,
00:05:53at one time,
00:05:54you worked real hard.
00:05:55Well,
00:05:56today,
00:05:57I am.
00:05:58If you take your glasses off,
00:06:00Hogan,
00:06:00you can see in your eyes,
00:06:02you don't want it
00:06:03that bad anymore.
00:06:05I
00:06:06want it
00:06:07bad!
00:06:12But nowhere near
00:06:14as bad
00:06:16as the big man,
00:06:18Carl Malone,
00:06:20wants
00:06:20the
00:06:21worm!
00:06:25Carl Malone
00:06:26is one of the
00:06:26hardest-working guys
00:06:28I've ever seen
00:06:29in my life.
00:06:30And after he saw me
00:06:31get attacked
00:06:32by the chairs
00:06:33from Rodman
00:06:34and Hogan,
00:06:36he let me know
00:06:37that if I wanted it,
00:06:39he had my back.
00:06:42But
00:06:42he just didn't
00:06:43want to have my back.
00:06:44He wanted to be
00:06:45in the ring
00:06:46and jacked.
00:06:48Because
00:06:49the difference
00:06:50between
00:06:50Rodman
00:06:51and Malone
00:06:53is like
00:06:54white and black.
00:06:56Totally
00:06:57different people.
00:06:59Rodzilla,
00:06:59as a marketer,
00:07:00you're a genius.
00:07:02In the ring,
00:07:03you're a dead man.
00:07:05And at
00:07:06the bash
00:07:07at the beach,
00:07:09it's gonna be
00:07:10simple.
00:07:12Rodman
00:07:12and Hogan,
00:07:14you're going out
00:07:16with a
00:07:17bash.
00:07:18Well, gentlemen,
00:07:21I think you have
00:07:21to agree with me.
00:07:22This guy is psyched.
00:07:24The fact that he's
00:07:25gonna be teaming
00:07:26with Kyle Malone
00:07:27the bash at the beach
00:07:29against Hogan
00:07:30and Rodman
00:07:30is certainly
00:07:31something else.
00:07:32And we're gonna be
00:07:33talking about this
00:07:34right now for
00:07:34Kills and I.

00:08:26but how about this
00:08:27for a feature
00:08:28about tonight, guys.
00:08:30The Crippler

00:08:33in this program
00:08:34later on tonight
00:08:34live against
00:08:35Bret the Hitman Hart.
00:08:37It wasn't too long ago
00:08:38that Bret Hart
00:08:39offered Benoit
00:08:40that white and black
00:08:41shirt wanted to become
00:08:42a part
00:08:42of the NW Hollywood.

00:08:46but right now
00:08:47I want to take you

00:08:49winner for this week.
00:08:50It's Rob Schluster
00:08:51from Charlotte
00:08:51and a student
00:08:52at NC State in Raleigh.
00:08:54Here's his winning videotape.
00:08:57And now on
00:08:58to the Nitro Party.
00:08:59Woo!
00:08:59Woo!
00:09:04Services!
00:09:07N-U-C-W!
00:09:08Or
00:09:08N-W-O!
00:09:12Woo!
00:09:13Woo!
00:09:15Viva la rasa!
00:09:18I'm the stuff
00:09:19and the labels
00:09:20can't get enough.
00:09:21I would venture to say
00:09:28NC State students
00:09:30on campus
00:09:31can identify
00:09:31quite well
00:09:33with anyone
00:09:33called the Wolf Pack.
00:09:35The red and the black
00:09:36of NWO Wolf Pack.
00:09:37Congratulations
00:09:37to Rob Schluster
00:09:38this week's winner.
00:09:39All right.
00:09:39That gives you confidence
00:09:40in the youth of America.
00:09:42Well, we've had plenty
00:09:42of confidence
00:09:43over the past couple of months.
00:09:44I'm kidding.
00:09:45Linden makes his way in.
00:09:46And guys, once again,
00:09:47Bret Hart,
00:09:48Chris Benoit
00:09:50will collide
00:09:50one-on-one.
00:09:52And you've got to believe,
00:09:53Mike,
00:09:53as well as anyone else
00:09:54that Bret Hart
00:09:56is very upset
00:09:58about Benoit's obvious
00:10:00refusal to become
00:10:03a member
00:10:03of the white and the black.
00:10:05Well, with Bret Hart
00:10:05being put almost
00:10:06in the role
00:10:07of the top recruiter
00:10:08for NWO Hollywood,
00:10:10I'm sure it was almost
00:10:11a slap in the face
00:10:12to the hitman.
00:10:13You go back
00:10:14through history,
00:10:15Chris Benoit
00:10:16trained for professional wrestling
00:10:18at the Dungeon
00:10:19in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
00:10:21That organization
00:10:22and that training grounds
00:10:24run by Stu Hart,
00:10:25the father of Bret
00:10:26the Hitman Hart.
00:10:27So in a sense,
00:10:28we're talking about
00:10:29teacher versus student
00:10:30here tonight.
00:10:31And history is going
00:10:32to be made
00:10:32the first ever meeting
00:10:34between Chris Benoit
00:10:35and Bret Hart
00:10:36here on Nitro.
00:10:37You know,
00:10:37I think there's another
00:10:38dimension here, too.
00:10:39I think the black
00:10:40and the white
00:10:40don't want any chance
00:10:42of Chris Benoit
00:10:43taking his ability
00:10:44to the red and the black.
00:10:46They do not want
00:10:47Benoit in the wolf pack
00:10:49whatsoever.
00:10:52Chris Benoit,
00:10:53of course,
00:10:54basically turned
00:10:55that offer down
00:10:56and also turned down
00:10:57the chance to
00:10:58just walk right in
00:10:59to Great American Bash
00:11:00to face Fitz Finley.
00:11:01You'll recall
00:11:02Bret Hart
00:11:03hit
00:11:03Booker T with a chair
00:11:06and knocked him
00:11:06literally out that time,
00:11:07but Benoit
00:11:08would not make the cover.
00:11:09So with that slap
00:11:10in the face
00:11:11and faced on that,
00:11:11these two Canadian greats
00:11:13will collide here tonight.
00:11:14Chris the Crippler Benoit
00:11:16and the hitman Bret Hart
00:11:17later on live here tonight
00:11:19on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:11:21Lynn Ditton
00:11:22against the very obnoxious
00:11:24Disco Inferno
00:11:26in this one-on-one matchup
00:11:28here in the sold-out crowd
00:11:29here in Jacksonville, Florida.
00:11:31Well,
00:11:32that refusal
00:11:32on the part of Benoit
00:11:33to join Bret Hart
00:11:35and NWO Hollywood
00:11:36and to take that victory
00:11:37was all about
00:11:38honor and integrity.
00:11:40Those are two words
00:11:41that we rarely use
00:11:41to describe
00:11:42the Disco Inferno.
00:11:44Disco Inferno,
00:11:45though,
00:11:46has been a champion
00:11:46in our sport.
00:11:47I don't think
00:11:47there's any question
00:11:48about that.
00:11:50Into the ropes.
00:11:52Running over
00:11:52the Disco Inferno.
00:11:55Lynn Ditton,
00:11:55but there's
00:11:56an atomic clap
00:11:57and a nice one
00:11:58that timed
00:11:58by the Disco Inferno
00:11:59and he runs over him
00:12:01with a running larian.
00:12:02I don't think
00:12:02there's any question
00:12:03that all media outlets
00:12:05print TV, radio.
00:12:08They're all talking
00:12:09about the big match
00:12:10that we've got
00:12:10coming up
00:12:11on the 12th of July
00:12:12and it's,
00:12:13you know,
00:12:14I don't want to really
00:12:15take sides here
00:12:16or really even try
00:12:16to talk more
00:12:17about what's going
00:12:18to happen
00:12:18during that match
00:12:19because you never know
00:12:21in a pro wrestling match
00:12:22what's going to transpire
00:12:23but Rodman does have
00:12:25a match under his belt
00:12:27and Malone does not
00:12:28and I go back
00:12:29to last year
00:12:29at Bash of the Beach
00:12:30when Rodman was
00:12:31so successful
00:12:32with Hollywood Hogan
00:12:33as a tandem.
00:12:34Well,
00:12:35the worm was hiding
00:12:36behind Hollywood
00:12:37at the time
00:12:38but don't forget
00:12:39Diamond Dallas
00:12:40just made a statement
00:12:40what a hardworking,
00:12:42disciplined athlete
00:12:43Malone is.
00:12:45I know for a fact
00:12:46Malone and Diamond Dallas Page
00:12:48will be spending
00:12:48hours and hours
00:12:50in that power plant.
00:12:52Diamond Dallas Page
00:12:54will be showing Malone
00:12:55things that the worm
00:12:57doesn't even know exists
00:12:59and I'm talking also
00:13:00about the secret
00:13:01of the Diamond.
00:13:02Almost mirror images
00:13:04when you talk about
00:13:05Diamond Dallas Page
00:13:06and Carl Malone
00:13:07when it comes to work ethic.
00:13:09DDP,
00:13:10the People's Champion
00:13:11and obviously Page
00:13:13and Carl Malone
00:13:14have motivation
00:13:15on their side.
00:13:16Yeah,
00:13:16when Hollywood
00:13:16Hogan and the Worms
00:13:18sit around smoking
00:13:19them big cigars all day
00:13:20they'll find out
00:13:20in the ring
00:13:21that was the wrong
00:13:22thing to do.
00:13:23We talked about Chris Benoit
00:13:32and the Bret the Hitman heart
00:13:33and what should be
00:13:35just a great matchup
00:13:36a little bit later on.
00:13:37Chris Benoit
00:13:38obviously turned the man down
00:13:39that night
00:13:40and he's been having his problems
00:13:41with one man
00:13:42as of late
00:13:43by the name of Stevie Ray.
00:13:45As a matter of fact,
00:13:46we found out
00:13:47very brutally earlier
00:13:49that Stevie Ray
00:13:50has really been on a mission
00:13:52to take one Chris Benoit
00:13:53out screaming his name.
00:13:54Earlier when he arrived
00:13:55to the arena
00:13:56he went to WCW Security
00:13:58and he said
00:13:58I need to talk to Benoit
00:14:00and they tried to separate him
00:14:02and they've been successful
00:14:03all night here
00:14:04so certainly
00:14:05the problems
00:14:06that Benoit had
00:14:07with Booker T
00:14:07have really kind of
00:14:08answered over on to Stevie Ray.
00:14:10Well, if you ask me
00:14:11it's all about jealousy
00:14:12on the part of Stevie Ray
00:14:14to remember that Chris Benoit
00:14:15offered his services
00:14:16to Booker T
00:14:17in case he needed
00:14:18a good tag team partner
00:14:20that didn't sit right
00:14:21with big brother Stevie Ray.
00:14:23You know, I wonder
00:14:24if Stevie Ray's jealous
00:14:25of the success
00:14:26Booker T's had
00:14:28all by himself.
00:14:29I would think
00:14:30a combination of jealousy
00:14:31of that success
00:14:32and of that mutual respect
00:14:34between Booker T
00:14:35and Benoit.
00:14:36To the midsection
00:14:37goes the Disco Inferno
00:14:38in the middle
00:14:39and Lynn Denton.
00:14:40Oh!
00:14:41Up and down
00:14:42and he got it down
00:14:43with a great pile driver.
00:14:44That was in good position here.
00:14:47One, two, three!
00:14:48Beat it!
00:14:50Disco Inferno,
00:14:52he may be obnoxious,
00:14:53but the man came to wrestle
00:14:54and looked real good
00:14:56in this opening bout
00:14:57here on WCW.
00:14:59Monday Night Drops
00:14:59gonna be our Castro
00:15:00torture test of the week
00:15:01for the Disco Inferno.
00:15:04And they're standing up,
00:15:05they're cheering,
00:15:06many are dancing
00:15:07here in Jacksonville, Florida.
00:15:08Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:15:11It felt like doing a little dance,
00:15:13making him love
00:15:14and getting down the night.
00:15:16Well, it should be
00:15:17a happy Inferno.
00:15:18He picked up a paycheck tonight,
00:15:20utilized some good movement.
00:15:23The man's got movement,
00:15:24no question about it.
00:15:25Can the Disco keep us focused?
00:15:27That was the question.
00:15:28And again, Stenton right here
00:15:30just skipped him like a stone
00:15:32across the ring.
00:15:33That knocked the wind
00:15:33out of Denver.
00:15:34Right here,
00:15:35he had him at a right angle.
00:15:37Knocked him right on top
00:15:38of his head.
00:15:39Brinked his neck.
00:15:40And that was the end
00:15:40of Denton and a victory
00:15:41for the Disco Inferno.
00:15:44Castro GTX motor oil
00:15:46that stands up
00:15:47to the most
00:15:47torturous conditions.
00:15:49We've got a big surprise
00:15:50for you tonight.
00:15:51And with that,
00:15:52we take you to meet

00:15:56a big surprise for you tonight.
00:15:58You can hear it right now.
00:15:59Music, Disco on his way
00:16:00to the back.
00:16:01I've got to get a lesson
00:16:02from that guy.
00:16:03As far as Rodman
00:16:03and Hogan are concerned,
00:16:05you can just step outside
00:16:06here.
00:16:06You don't even have
00:16:07to light up a cigar.
00:16:09Jacksonville,
00:16:10folks across the country

00:16:21all-pro,
00:16:22a pro bowler,
00:16:23and of course
00:16:24is one of the greats.
00:16:25He played with the

00:16:44in the ring before.
00:16:51Boy,
00:16:51does he look
00:16:52in great shape.
00:16:53What a great homecoming
00:16:54it is for Kevin Green,
00:16:56soon to be a member
00:16:57of the Carolina Panthers
00:16:58once again.
00:16:58Well,
00:17:00I don't know
00:17:00if that's a homecoming,
00:17:01Mike,
00:17:01but certainly
00:17:02it seems like it.
00:17:04Let me borrow
00:17:04this,
00:17:04Mean Gene.
00:17:06Jacksonville,
00:17:07I want you to know
00:17:08it's a pleasure

00:17:11Home of the Jaguars,
00:17:12you guys are
00:17:13a very competitive team.
00:17:17Hey.
00:17:20Hey,
00:17:20listen to this.
00:17:21Now,
00:17:23I've played
00:17:24against a lot
00:17:24of quarterbacks
00:17:25in my 14 years
00:17:26in the league,
00:17:26but Mark Burnell
00:17:27is a damn good quarterback.
00:17:29I promise you.
00:17:33And one more thing.
00:17:35One more thing.
00:17:36Coming here
00:17:37in Jacksonville
00:17:37is difficult
00:17:38because the crowd
00:17:40comes
00:17:41and they're ready
00:17:41to rock and roll
00:17:42and you can never
00:17:43underestimate
00:17:44the 12th man
00:17:45and what it means
00:17:46to a winning team.
00:17:48I compliment you guys.
00:17:49All right,
00:17:50Kevin Green,
00:17:51if I could take
00:17:51just a little bit
00:17:52of your time
00:17:52to discuss some business.
00:17:54We recall last year
00:17:55about this time
00:17:56you were having
00:17:57contractual problems
00:17:58with Carolina.
00:18:00Apparently that deal
00:18:01didn't pan out.
00:18:02You ended up
00:18:02going out to the
00:18:03San Francisco 49ers
00:18:04and had a better year.
00:18:06Now you're back
00:18:07with Carolina
00:18:08and the Panthers.
00:18:09How does it all
00:18:10shake out for you?
00:18:11You know what?
00:18:13Hey,
00:18:14have Jock
00:18:15will travel, man.
00:18:16It's a hard business.
00:18:18I'd much rather
00:18:18put that stuff
00:18:19that happened
00:18:19last year behind me.
00:18:21I am with
00:18:22the Carolina Panthers
00:18:22and I am going
00:18:23to do everything
00:18:23I can to help
00:18:24this team win.
00:18:25Hey,
00:18:25I'm just a competitive
00:18:26athlete, guys.
00:18:28All right.
00:18:29You know,
00:18:29health is a very
00:18:30important situation,
00:18:33very important item
00:18:33for people in
00:18:34professional wrestling
00:18:35but certainly
00:18:36in pro football.
00:18:37You look great
00:18:37but how is your
00:18:38health right now,
00:18:39Kevin?
00:18:39I tell you what,
00:18:40I praise God.
00:18:41I'm very healthy,
00:18:4213 years in the league.
00:18:44I've had no injuries
00:18:45and I feel as strong
00:18:46as ever.
00:18:47All right.
00:18:48But I guess finally
00:18:49we've got to talk
00:18:50about the upcoming
00:18:51season in light
00:18:52of the good health
00:18:52and the good fortune.
00:18:54I know in the offseason,
00:18:55Carolina made some
00:18:56very important acquisitions.
00:18:58How do you size up 1998?
00:19:00I tell you what,
00:19:00we got William Floyd
00:19:01from the 49ers.
00:19:02We got,
00:19:03we got Doug Evans
00:19:06from the Green Bay Packers.
00:19:08We've got a lot
00:19:08of good talent
00:19:09in this team.
00:19:09We're going to
00:19:09have a heck of a team
00:19:11but I'm excited
00:19:12about this period of time.
00:19:14I've got about four weeks
00:19:15before training camp starts.
00:19:16I get to go and strap
00:19:17on the pads
00:19:18and get back in the mix
00:19:19and get to hang out
00:19:20with the fellas
00:19:21in the locker room
00:19:22but I get to come here too
00:19:23and take part in WCW,
00:19:25hang out with the fellas
00:19:26backstage.
00:19:27I got some friends here
00:19:28and Chris Benoit
00:19:29and Four Horsemen
00:19:30and I like Arn Anderson.
00:19:32I mean,
00:19:32he's come back
00:19:33from the surgery
00:19:34and Mongo McMichael
00:19:36is back in the mix
00:19:36and it's just great
00:19:37to see the fellas
00:19:38but guess what?
00:19:39And you guys
00:19:40get a kick out of this.
00:19:41Guess who was my roommate
00:19:43back in 1991
00:19:44with the L.A. Rams
00:19:46his rookie year.
00:19:47Guess who?
00:19:49I know.
00:19:50Go ahead.
00:19:51It's Bill Goldberg.
00:19:52You guys like Bill Goldberg,
00:19:53right?
00:19:56I think that answers
00:19:57your question.
00:19:58No, no.
00:19:59He was my roommate
00:20:00in 1991
00:20:01with the L.A. Rams
00:20:02and I knew
00:20:03he was going to be special.
00:20:04I couldn't be more happier
00:20:05with the success
00:20:06he's having.
00:20:07He's undefeated
00:20:08and he's kicking
00:20:09everybody's butt.
00:20:10I love the guy, man.
00:20:12He's a great dude.
00:20:13All right.
00:20:14Well, Bill Goldberg
00:20:14certainly is
00:20:15a tremendous competitor
00:20:16and I know
00:20:17that you perhaps share
00:20:18in a little bit
00:20:19of his success
00:20:20in that the two of you
00:20:21were roommates
00:20:22in football.
00:20:23He made the move.
00:20:24Speaking of two roommates.
00:20:25Yeah, excuse me.
00:20:26You got company, guys.
00:20:28I am going to apologize.
00:20:30These are uninvited guests
00:20:31down here tonight.
00:20:34Kurt Hennig,
00:20:35Rick Rude.
00:20:36Gentlemen,
00:20:37this time has been allocated
00:20:38to...
00:20:39This is a wrestling arena.
00:20:41You want to make them football?
00:20:43Go make them football.
00:20:44Are you hearing any of this?
00:20:45What's this crap mean, Gene?
00:20:47Man, let's wrap
00:20:48this interview up, man.
00:20:49This is bull crap.
00:20:50Who are these punks?
00:20:51You want to make a name
00:20:52for yourself in wrestling?
00:20:53Forget about it.
00:20:55You're a football player
00:20:56just like all these
00:20:57other musclehead
00:20:58construction workers
00:20:59think they can come
00:21:00into our craft
00:21:01and make a living.
00:21:03You're wrong.
00:21:03Rick Rude
00:21:04and Kurt Hennig
00:21:05will bury you.
00:21:06Okay.
00:21:06All right, big mouth.
00:21:08You want some of me?
00:21:09Watch out.
00:21:10Watch out.
00:21:11From behind.
00:21:12From behind.
00:21:13It's the giant.
00:21:15I saw a white and black shirt
00:21:16come from behind.
00:21:17I wasn't sure who it was,
00:21:18but the giant sneak attack
00:21:20from behind.
00:21:21They had Kevin Green
00:21:23in the crosshairs
00:21:24and they got him.
00:21:26NWO diversionary tactics
00:21:28played out to their absolute best.
00:21:31And this man's got
00:21:31a football season coming up
00:21:33and they want to take him out.
00:21:39Oh, he's helpless right now
00:21:40for that sneak attack
00:21:41from the giant.
00:21:43It's Kevin Green.
00:21:44He just came out here
00:21:45to let us know
00:21:46about his great career.
00:21:47Any other comers?
00:21:48Come on.
00:21:49Wow, what a way
00:21:51to return to WCW
00:21:53for Kevin Green.
00:21:54Yeah, but this was
00:21:54completely unprovoked.
00:21:56He didn't make a challenge
00:21:57to the black and the white.
00:21:58He didn't say anything
00:21:59unsavory, unkind
00:22:01to the Hollywood
00:22:01Huygens room.
00:22:03Why did this happen?
00:22:04Was it because he mentioned
00:22:05Goldberg's name?
00:22:06Did that get under the scans
00:22:08of what Kurt Hennig
00:22:09and Rick Rude?
00:22:10Whatever it's about,
00:22:15it was...
00:22:15He's got no defense.
00:22:16I'm trying to hear
00:22:16what they say here.
00:22:17Thought he's a defensive player.
00:22:20Are you kidding me?
00:22:21You want to hear this?
00:22:22I just wondered why.
00:22:23Hey, fat boy!
00:22:25Fat boy!
00:22:26Let's back up.
00:22:27Where are you punks going?
00:22:30Is that where you guys operate?
00:22:31You sneak me and you bail?
00:22:33You freak punks!
00:22:36They got back to his feet.
00:22:38And Kevin Green...
00:22:41I wouldn't do that, Kevin!
00:22:42He's going back
00:22:44to the locker room area.
00:22:45This could be very explosive.
00:22:47Fans, stay right where you are.
00:22:49We'll be back.
00:22:52Fans, we're back
00:22:53with some breaking news.
00:22:55Something has occurred,
00:22:56and it occurred
00:22:57during the commercial break.
00:22:58You saw Kevin Green
00:23:00sprint towards the back.
00:23:02Something did happen,
00:23:03but I'm told the four
00:23:03we're gonna show you
00:23:04what happened during the break.
00:23:05We're gonna need to go back
00:23:06and show you what happened
00:23:07during the interview.
00:23:09Let's take a look at the footage.
00:23:11This happened just moments ago.
00:23:12The Giant from behind.
00:23:14We can see this.
00:23:15And it was pretty obvious here
00:23:17that they were out
00:23:19to take this man out.
00:23:21I mean, he is not too far away.
00:23:22About three weeks away
00:23:23from the opening of training camp.
00:23:25And Kevin Green just came out
00:23:27to talk about football,
00:23:28and he said a few things
00:23:29about Goldberg as well.
00:23:31Well, I think that's a huge factor, Tony.
00:23:33The fact that Kevin Green
00:23:34was just here to update us
00:23:36on his football status.
00:23:38Obviously, the NWO black-and-white attack
00:23:41is sending a message
00:23:42not only to Goldberg,
00:23:44but you know the way
00:23:45that they love media headlines.
00:23:46He's got no defense.
00:23:53Well, they were laughing
00:23:54and having a good time
00:23:55at the expense of Kevin Green.
00:23:57But let's not forget
00:23:58that right before we went
00:23:59to a commercial break,
00:24:00Kevin Green got back to his feet
00:24:02as he's done so many times
00:24:04on the gridiron.
00:24:04A man you can truly not keep down,
00:24:06and he ran to the back,
00:24:08and here's what happened
00:24:08during the commercial break
00:24:10moments ago in the back.
00:24:11All right, there you see
00:24:30Arn Anderson and Ben Woj there,
00:24:32and Steve McMichael.
00:24:37And James J. Dillon
00:24:38has stepped into the scene.
00:24:40And this happened just a few moments
00:24:41to go here.
00:24:44Absolutely.
00:24:45Hey, you want to go?
00:24:48You want to go?
00:24:49You want some?
00:24:50Yeah.
00:24:50You want some?
00:24:51I'll get it done.
00:24:52You guys tonight.
00:24:54I'll get it done.
00:24:55In the race.
00:24:56Get it done.
00:24:57This match.
00:24:57Did he say what I thought he said?
00:25:00Yes, he did.
00:25:01You know, that's the way
00:25:02I like to see J.J. sign things.
00:25:04You want to get it done?
00:25:05You want to get it done?
00:25:06Let's do it.
00:25:07And he is going to,
00:25:08as they both agreed to it,
00:25:11the verbal contract,
00:25:12which is binding Kevin Green
00:25:14and the Giant,
00:25:16have agreed to wrestle here tonight.
00:25:19And J.J. says he will make it happen
00:25:21for a little bit later on in this program.
00:25:23Kevin Green did not expect
00:25:24to come here and wrestle at all.
00:25:25I don't even know if Kevin,
00:25:27I'm sure Kevin Green
00:25:27didn't even bring in tights.
00:25:29Well, J.J. Dillon is a man of action
00:25:31here at Nitro this evening.
00:25:32You know, things are obviously said
00:25:34in the heat of battle,
00:25:35but I'm just wondering
00:25:36about Kevin Green
00:25:37this close to training camp.
00:25:39The upcoming National Football League season
00:25:40with the Carolina Panthers.
00:25:42How smart is it to get in the ring
00:25:43with the largest athlete
00:25:45in pro sports, the Giant?
00:25:46Well, I can understand
00:25:48the anger inside Kevin Green,
00:25:50but there's a fine line
00:25:51between bravery and stupidity.
00:25:54J.J. Dillon was quick
00:25:55to grab an opportunity,
00:25:57but that was at the expense
00:25:58of Kevin Green's body.
00:26:00Getting in the ring
00:26:01against the Giants?
00:26:02Kevin Green isn't going
00:26:04to have a chance.
00:26:06Well, on the surface,
00:26:08it would seem not,
00:26:09but also, I don't think
00:26:11the Giant, nor Rude,
00:26:13nor Hennig expected Kevin Green
00:26:16to pop back up like he did either.
00:26:18You know, remarkable athletes
00:26:19will always rise to the occasion.
00:26:22Kevin Green is certainly
00:26:23one of the most remarkable athletes
00:26:24in the history,
00:26:25not only in the NFL,
00:26:26but he showed us a lot last year,
00:26:28if you'll recall,
00:26:29as he stepped into the ring
00:26:31last year did Kevin Green.
00:26:33It was very successful, Mike.
00:26:34Certainly did, Tony.
00:26:35Surprised, I think, everyone,
00:26:36a lot of experts
00:26:37associated with professional wrestling
00:26:39with just how quickly
00:26:40he took to the game.
00:26:42Yeah, but who?
00:26:42But one-on-one
00:26:43against the Giants?
00:26:44Who did he wrestle last year?
00:26:45It's asking, it's asking.
00:26:46Who did he wrestle last year?
00:26:48He was in a tag team match, too.
00:26:49He was in a six-man tag.
00:26:50All right.
00:26:51Against the, okay,
00:26:51I know what you're saying.
00:26:52Now he's alone
00:26:53against the Giant,
00:26:54a man who's been doing
00:26:55nothing but wrestling.
00:26:57He's,
00:26:58he shouldn't have done that.
00:26:59It is Tokyo Magnum
00:27:01and Yuji Nagata.
00:27:03Yuji Nagata has been truly
00:27:04one of the most successful
00:27:05Japanese athletes ever
00:27:07to wrestle here
00:27:08in the United States.
00:27:09Of course,
00:27:10one of the reasons
00:27:11is because of this man,
00:27:12Sonny Ono.
00:27:14Sonny is a master
00:27:16in helping his man out,
00:27:18but also
00:27:18is truly a great motivator
00:27:21on the outside as well.
00:27:22Ono's a great manipulator.
00:27:24Of course,
00:27:24he's got a lot of yen,
00:27:25and that will motivate people
00:27:29wrestling now
00:27:30that the dollar's down.
00:27:31Tokyo Magnum,
00:27:32who provides the opposition
00:27:33for Yuji Nagata,
00:27:34is one of Ultimo Dragon's students.
00:27:37He now has 15 wrestlers
00:27:39that have moved
00:27:40lock, stock, and barrel
00:27:41to Mexico City
00:27:42to train with the Dragon.
00:27:44And Tokyo Magnum,
00:27:44one of the top students,
00:27:46but he's just in his second year
00:27:47as a pro wrestler
00:27:48against a man
00:27:49who's an expert
00:27:50at submission wrestling
00:27:51as well as pro wrestling
00:27:52like Yuji Nagata.
00:27:54He's in tough.
00:27:54Yeah, also giving away
00:27:56a lot of size
00:27:57to Nagata.
00:28:01Yuji Nagata
00:28:02working over Tokyo Magnum here.
00:28:04Well, as you can see
00:28:05during the commercial break,
00:28:06it was very chaotic
00:28:07in the back,
00:28:08and fans also,
00:28:10we touched on it earlier
00:28:11about Stevie Ray
00:28:12and how angry he has been
00:28:13as a cross-arm breaker
00:28:14has put on
00:28:15Chris Benoit.
00:28:16And that anger, of course,
00:28:17directed towards Benoit
00:28:18telling Stevie Ray,
00:28:20or actually telling Booker T
00:28:22one week ago
00:28:22that he's looking
00:28:23for a good partner,
00:28:24he'll be his man.
00:28:25Well, we understand
00:28:26we were just handed out
00:28:27just moments ago
00:28:28that Stevie Ray
00:28:29came out of his locker room
00:28:30screaming,
00:28:31and he's now looking
00:28:33for Chris Benoit.
00:28:34Well, we're gonna try
00:28:35to keep abreast on this.
00:28:36As a matter of fact,
00:28:37we have dispatched
00:28:37a camera crew
00:28:38to go back
00:28:39to the locker room area
00:28:40once again.
00:28:41I don't know
00:28:41if anything's gonna happen
00:28:42here or not,
00:28:43but it's been
00:28:44one of the most
00:28:45explosive evenings
00:28:45in the locker room area
00:28:47already tonight,
00:28:47and we're less than
00:28:48an hour into this program.
00:28:50Wow, we better just
00:28:50keep a camera back there
00:28:51all night the way
00:28:52things are going on
00:28:53and happening back
00:28:54in the locker room area.
00:28:55Things are literally
00:28:56out of hand.
00:28:57I mean, they've been
00:28:58out of hand everywhere,
00:28:59Larry, in the ring,
00:29:00in the locker room area,
00:29:02and fans already tonight
00:29:04with all this explosive action,
00:29:05you already know
00:29:06that we talked about.
00:29:08Chris Benoit
00:29:08is scheduled to wrestle
00:29:10Brett the Hitman Hart.
00:29:12Add to that now
00:29:13Kevin Green
00:29:15of the Carolina Panthers
00:29:16against the Giant tonight.
00:29:18Truly one of the most
00:29:19spectacular double main events
00:29:20we've ever had
00:29:21on this three-hour edition
00:29:22of WCW Monday Nitro.
00:29:26Three, get out there!
00:29:27Get off!
00:29:28Nagata.
00:29:31Choking,
00:29:32pulling, kicking now
00:29:33on Tokyo Magnum,
00:29:34and this has been
00:29:35all of Yuji Nagata.
00:29:36Yeah, he's going up
00:29:37and down this poor kid's
00:29:38body, he's kicking him
00:29:38in the knee,
00:29:39kicking him in the kidney,
00:29:40taking him on the mat,
00:29:41torturing him.
00:29:42Right there,
00:29:43not quick enough!
00:29:45Magnum moves
00:29:45out of the way
00:29:46using his speed
00:29:47and that's what
00:29:48the kid's got!
00:29:50Up on top,
00:29:51in addition to
00:29:51that double main event,
00:29:52you heard that
00:29:54Kevin Green
00:29:54talking about Goldberg.
00:29:56Here's a cover by Tokyo
00:29:57Magnum,
00:29:58he got a two count.
00:29:59Well, the U.S.
00:30:00champ Goldberg
00:30:00is here tonight.
00:30:03And he returns
00:30:04to WCW Monday Nitro
00:30:05after a week layoff
00:30:06where he was with his mom
00:30:08and in the hospital
00:30:10he is back
00:30:10and I tell you,
00:30:12Goldberg
00:30:12Goldberg is a man
00:30:13who has a chanting
00:30:14they're all talking about.
00:30:16And even as you said
00:30:17earlier, Mike,
00:30:18it's really the catalyst
00:30:19when Kevin Green
00:30:20said the name of Goldberg,
00:30:22that really,
00:30:22we all think,
00:30:23prompted NWO Hollywood
00:30:25to come out
00:30:26in the persona
00:30:26of the giant
00:30:27and of course,
00:30:28first of all,
00:30:28Gruden Henning.
00:30:29And Tony,
00:30:30I can tell you,
00:30:30this crowd in Jacksonville
00:30:31is ready to see Goldberg.
00:30:33We were outside
00:30:34earlier today
00:30:35and they were chanting
00:30:36his name at 5 o'clock
00:30:37this afternoon
00:30:38out in the parking lot.
00:30:41Standing figure 4
00:30:43and he drops down
00:30:43on the God-A-Lock.
00:30:45Yeah, he likes
00:30:45to go prone with this
00:30:47and this is a torturous Hulk
00:30:48right on that kneecap.
00:30:49Hold on, Larry.
00:30:50Hold on.
00:30:51I told you
00:30:51the camera crew
00:30:52was back there
00:30:53and let's go back
00:30:54there right now.
00:30:55There you see
00:30:56he literally
00:30:56called Benoit
00:30:58as Benoit walked
00:30:59out of his locker room area.
00:31:01This is Stevie Ray.
00:31:02Now finally
00:31:03security gets in
00:31:04and as we told you
00:31:06our cameras
00:31:06were going to go back
00:31:07if anything happened
00:31:08and you see
00:31:09Benoit,
00:31:10I'm not so sure
00:31:10if Benoit's been knocked out here or not.
00:31:12Turn me loose, man.
00:31:13Lose me.
00:31:14Turn me loose.
00:31:15Look, it's taking four guys
00:31:16and they can barely
00:31:17hold Stevie Ray back.
00:31:18Stevie Ray's a big man
00:31:20and he is angry.
00:31:21Fans, things are happening.
00:31:23Running left,
00:31:24you cannot afford
00:31:25to go anywhere.
00:31:25We'll be back live
00:31:27on the Explosive Night's
00:31:28after this.
00:31:37He truly is
00:31:38one of the most self-centered
00:31:40people, wrestlers
00:31:41we've ever seen
00:31:42on this program
00:31:43and he's had more problems
00:31:45than most people
00:31:46can deal with.
00:31:47Another look
00:31:48at the one
00:31:49and only Raven.
00:31:53They say
00:31:54that I walk away
00:31:56from my problems.
00:31:59That I walk away
00:32:00from responsibility.
00:32:02Yeah, I've walked away
00:32:04from my broken home,
00:32:05my broken dreams.
00:32:08My father didn't
00:32:09show much emotion
00:32:10but at least
00:32:11if he had a bad day
00:32:12at work,
00:32:13I got to feel
00:32:14the brunt of it.
00:32:15I guess it's better
00:32:16to feel something
00:32:16than nothing.
00:32:19They say I'm a little cruel.
00:32:21Maybe I inflict
00:32:21too much punishment
00:32:22on my opponents
00:32:23but I guess sometimes
00:32:24you gotta be cruel
00:32:26to be kind.
00:32:29Quote the Raven,
00:32:31never more.
00:32:32Raven
00:32:35and another one
00:32:37of his quotes
00:32:38and fans
00:32:39as we get ready
00:32:40for the next match
00:32:41we have to be concerned
00:32:42about, you know,
00:32:43tonight
00:32:44a double spectacular
00:32:46main event
00:32:47that we have
00:32:47for you on Nitro
00:32:48but Chris Benoit
00:32:49was just laid out
00:32:51by Stevie Ray.
00:32:52Now he is scheduled
00:32:52to wrestle Bret Hart.
00:32:55You gotta wonder
00:32:56what condition
00:32:56the man's gonna be in
00:32:57when he goes in the ring
00:32:58against the hitman
00:32:59Bret Hart
00:33:00a little bit later
00:33:01on here tonight.
00:33:02Now you couple that
00:33:03with the fact
00:33:04that Giant and Kevin Green
00:33:05will go one-on-one
00:33:06you're not gonna find
00:33:07any bigger
00:33:08double main event
00:33:09than we've ever had
00:33:11on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:33:13Well one certainly
00:33:14has to be concerned
00:33:15about the condition
00:33:16of the Canadian
00:33:17crippler Chris Benoit
00:33:18after that locker room
00:33:20attack by Stevie Ray.
00:33:21if you're going into the ring
00:33:22against Bret the Hitman Hart
00:33:24you need to be at 100%
00:33:26and I'm just wondering
00:33:27about the condition
00:33:28of Benoit
00:33:28after that brutal attack.
00:33:30Well I'll tell you
00:33:30something and I hate
00:33:31to say it
00:33:32because I'm not a big fan
00:33:33of the white and the black
00:33:35of the new world order
00:33:37but I think his condition
00:33:38is gonna resemble
00:33:39what Kevin Green's
00:33:40gonna look like
00:33:41when the Giant
00:33:42gets done with him.
00:33:43All right members
00:33:44of the flock
00:33:45Sick Boy and Horse
00:33:49there's not only
00:33:51the spectacular
00:33:51double main event
00:33:52the question marks
00:33:53about Benoit
00:33:54Benoit and Bret Hart
00:33:55to collide one-on-one
00:33:56the Giant and Kevin Green
00:33:58but also Goldberg

00:37:16against Kevin
00:37:17Green
00:37:18Kevin Green did
00:37:19not expect to
00:37:19wrestle
00:37:20he just came in
00:37:21to do an interview
00:37:21but once he said
00:37:22Goldberg's name
00:37:23then of course
00:37:24that lit a fire
00:37:25literally under the
00:37:26white and the black
00:37:27of NWO Hollywood
00:37:28look at this
00:37:30an uppercut

00:37:37made a mistake
00:37:38to Horace
00:37:38big strong guy
00:37:39Rocco jumped
00:37:40right into his arms
00:37:41excellent double team
00:37:43tactics by Sick Boy
00:37:44and Horace
00:37:44have certainly
00:37:45turned the tide
00:37:46in this matchup
00:37:47that the public enemy
00:37:48was dominating
00:37:48from the outset
00:37:49here's the double team
00:37:52now from the flock
00:37:53as you can see
00:37:54referee over
00:37:55with Johnny Grimes

00:37:58a merciless double team

00:38:02we heard and saw
00:38:05from Raven
00:38:05a few moments ago
00:38:06I don't think
00:38:07there's any question
00:38:08if you join us
00:38:09Thursday on Thunder
00:38:10you know
00:38:10that for Raven

00:38:19does Horace
00:38:20as far as
00:38:21Saturn is concerned
00:38:22it looks like
00:38:23he has totally
00:38:24cut all ties
00:38:25with the flock
00:38:26members and Raven
00:38:27into the ropes

00:39:35between Rodman

00:39:38Carl Malone
00:39:38we certainly saw that
00:39:40the past couple of weeks
00:39:41during the finals
00:39:43but
00:39:43and look at this
00:39:45the referee
00:39:45trying to restore
00:39:46some order
00:39:46that's breaking down
00:39:48in the ring here
00:39:48double axe handle
00:39:53but when you also

00:39:56that they walked
00:39:57Diamond Dallas Page
00:39:58with a chair

00:40:06a little bit later on

00:40:11all that
00:40:12with the fact
00:40:13that we have
00:40:15quite a double main event
00:40:18the Giant
00:40:18and you question this Larry
00:40:19the Giant

00:43:51you got to realize
00:43:53that Brent Hart

00:43:59on Thunder recently
00:44:01to not put on
00:44:02the white and the black
00:44:03well on the surface
00:44:04it would look like
00:44:05it was a personal affront
00:44:06to Brett the Hitman Hart
00:44:08especially right in front
00:44:09of the NWO Hollywood
00:44:11while they were trying
00:44:11to recruit Benoit
00:44:13interested to hear

00:44:23that was not the case
00:44:24your actions
00:44:25were a little
00:44:26well questionable
00:44:28shall I say
00:44:28when you
00:44:30went down to ringside
00:44:32and actually
00:44:32blatantly
00:44:33interfered
00:44:34in a match
00:44:35between Booker T
00:44:35and Chris Benoit
00:44:36now

00:44:42it should be
00:44:43a great match

00:44:51one Canadian
00:44:52against another

00:44:56I can remember
00:44:59Chris Benoit
00:45:00when he was
00:45:01a little snot-nosed
00:45:01punk
00:45:02running around
00:45:02in Calgary
00:45:03when it was
00:45:05my family
00:45:06and my brothers
00:45:07that gave him
00:45:08the only chance
00:45:09to be what he is
00:45:10right now
00:45:11today
00:45:11you know
00:45:14Chris Benoit

00:45:20in my judgment
00:45:22because it was

00:55:29prior to Nitro
00:55:30there is no question
00:55:32that the 12th of July
00:55:34is gonna be

00:55:36memorable days

00:55:44to the press conference
00:55:45the historic day it was
00:55:47in Beverly Hills
00:55:48in Planet Hollywood
00:55:49with Dennis Rodman
00:55:50and Hollywood Hogan
00:55:51agreed to go up
00:55:53against
00:55:53Tom Malone
00:55:55and DDP
00:55:56Diamond
00:55:56Dallas
00:55:57H
00:55:58as we
00:55:59are graced
00:56:01by NWO
00:56:03Red and Black
00:56:04the Wolfpack
00:56:04I don't know
00:56:06say that lightly
00:56:07graced by the
00:56:08New World Order
00:56:09doesn't exactly thrill me
00:56:11but it does the fans
00:56:12I mean
00:56:12you can't deny
00:56:14the popularity
00:56:15of the Red and the Black
00:56:16especially since
00:56:17the joining
00:56:19of Lex Luger
00:56:20and Sting
00:56:21difficult to argue
00:56:22with this kind of
00:56:23fan reaction
00:56:23isn't it
00:56:24almost as if
00:56:25these WCW fans
00:56:27have adopted
00:56:28the NWO
00:56:29Wolfpack
00:56:30as their own
00:56:30and you're right
00:56:31I don't think
00:56:31it's any coincidence
00:56:32that that happened
00:56:33at the same time
00:56:34as Sting
00:56:35and Lex Luger
00:56:36fortified the ranks
00:56:37of the NWO
00:56:39Red and Black
00:56:39Sting and Kevin Nash
00:56:45as you know by now
00:56:47are the world
00:56:48tag team champions
00:56:50and what a do-up
00:56:51Sting not only
00:56:53became a member
00:56:54of the Red and Black
00:56:55but Sting
00:56:57got
00:56:58the old
00:56:59part of the old
00:57:00Sting back
00:57:01the spirit
00:57:01of the old Sting
00:57:02the high intensity
00:57:03that we knew
00:57:04for many years
00:57:05that made him
00:57:05such a superstar
00:57:06that came back
00:57:08to the surface
00:57:09and that was good
00:57:10to see
00:57:11and you gotta agree
00:57:12with that Larry
00:57:12I don't know
00:57:14if Zaffy would
00:57:14got to him
00:57:15but the Red and the Black
00:57:16got Sting down
00:57:17from the rafter
00:57:18and put a smile
00:57:20on his face
00:57:21there you see
00:57:23Lake City bleeds
00:57:24Red and Black
00:57:24Lake City Florida
00:57:25not too far from here
00:57:26and I tell you
00:57:27the world
00:57:28is witnessing
00:57:31the birthy
00:57:33rebirth
00:57:34of another faction
00:57:35of the NWO
00:57:36and it has garnered
00:57:38fan support
00:57:39like never before
00:57:39Jacksonville Florida
00:57:41Wolfpack in the house
00:57:49Yo yo yo yo
00:57:59Jacksonville
00:57:59speak on this
00:58:00Orale
00:58:01Arriba La Rasta
00:58:05Yo Jacksonville
00:58:08just like the Wolfpack
00:58:10y'all bowdy bowdy
00:58:11and rowdy rowdy
00:58:13You know
00:58:21we might seem
00:58:23a little distraught
00:58:24but on the way
00:58:26to the ring
00:58:27if I'm not mistaken
00:58:28in the back
00:58:30I think Goldberg
00:58:32killed Kenny
00:58:33you know
00:58:36whoo
00:58:37whoo
00:58:49whoo
00:58:50whoo
00:58:50whoo
00:58:50whoo
00:58:50whoo
00:58:51Excuse me, uh, what's your name?
00:59:08What is this?
00:59:11Doesn't have too much to say because Jacksonville is red and black.
00:59:21A lot of people out here talking about wrestling this guy and wrestling that guy.
00:59:36A lot of tag team situations going on, but nobody talking about the red and black, the
00:59:43guys that got the gold, Big Sexy, the giant killer.
00:59:51And me, the stinger, I guess that makes me a medium-sized giant killer because you're
00:59:58dead, buddy.
00:59:59Anyway, I'm just trying to issue a challenge.
01:00:06We got the belts and anybody, anytime, anywhere, Jacksonville will be a great start.
01:00:13We're here, we're ready.
01:00:14That's it, we made a challenge, we're ready.
01:00:28And I can only say this, that being in the Wolf Pack is just too crazy.
01:00:43Challenge set forth by the red and the black to anyone.
01:00:51Come and get the world tag team championship coming to the dance and securing the belts
01:00:58are two different things.
01:00:59Still to come in this program, this sensational double main event and a whole lot more live
01:01:05on Nitro.
01:01:06I think it's going to be Rodman, Rodman and Hogan, because they beat him in basketball,
01:01:13they can beat him in the ring.
01:01:14What do you think?
01:01:15I think they took the series and I think Karl Malone is going to take it all this year
01:01:18in the wrestling.
01:01:19Yes, sir.
01:01:20It's going to happen.
01:01:21It's going to happen.
01:01:22Monday night Nitro!
01:01:23Monday night Nitro!
01:01:24Monday night Nitro!
01:01:25Monday night Nitro!
01:01:26Sunday night Nitro!
