00:00:00It is Monday night, and you are looking live in Hartford, Connecticut.
00:00:08As on this Monday, the 17th of August.
00:00:12The only live professional wrestling program on the air tonight.
00:00:16Coming to you from the insurance capital of the world, where a sellout crowd is on hand,
00:00:21Nitro is on the air, and we come up abruptly because, undeniably,
00:00:28Hollywood Hogan is making his way out as the music rings out here in Hartford, Connecticut.
00:00:36Tony Schiavone, the living legend Larry Zobisco, and Mike Tenet.
00:00:41Here he is, and would you listen to the booths in Connecticut for Hogan?
00:00:46Not a very popular guy in Hartford.
00:00:50Of course, he's coming out in Forrest Giant right behind him along with the Disciple.
00:00:55Look at this disgusting display of pseudo affection.
00:00:59Almost a unanimous decision from the capacity crowd on hand for this live, mundane Nitro from Hartford, Connecticut.
00:01:09No videotape here.
00:01:11Now we can forget the survey, too.
00:01:13Hollywood Hogan, Fischoff, the Giant, the Disciple.
00:01:17N.W. Hollywood making its way out.
00:01:19They're going to come out here.
00:01:21Look at this.
00:01:22He's carrying Eric Bischoff.
00:01:27It's a big load, even for a Giant.
00:01:31Did I see that sign correctly?
00:01:33Did that say Bischoff for President?
00:01:35We might find out later.
00:01:37I wouldn't go there.
00:01:40But, obviously, Bischoff has somebody making signs for him here in Hartford, Connecticut.
00:01:50As you look at a venue that was sold out almost a handful of days after the tickets went on sale.
00:01:58And it's Nitro's first visit to Connecticut, to Hartford.
00:02:03And we're darn glad to be in the house.
00:02:06Wow!
00:02:07We've got to back out now.
00:02:09Hollywood!
00:02:12This town really, really loves you, man.
00:02:22Well, you know, brother, what would you expect from all these black and white N.W. whites
00:02:32that still live in the house that Hollywood built, brah?
00:02:41Many years ago, when these people were little teeny weeny N.W. whites,
00:02:48they used to worship the ground I walk on.
00:02:51They used to pave the way.
00:02:53They used to kiss my feet.
00:02:55And there isn't one thing that's changed, brother.
00:02:59They love Hollywood because I made their life what it is today.
00:03:04Now that everybody knows that Hollywood is immortal, that everybody knows that black and white Hollywood is the power of the wrestling world today.
00:03:24Of the wrestling world today.
00:03:26Enough of that crap.
00:03:28Enough of that gaga.
00:03:30No more games with the media.
00:03:34No more games with those preliminary punks in the back.
00:03:39I'm calling Goldberg out.
00:03:45Hollywood Hogan is going to get his belt back tonight.
00:03:50And I'm going to get it back right in the middle of the ring.
00:03:55Because there's not one man I haven't beat.
00:03:59There's not one man I can't beat.
00:04:02And Goldberg.
00:04:06Lead the lambs to slaughter.
00:04:20Goldberg, the giant, the giant will do the dirty work.
00:04:41The giant will beat you tonight and hand me my belt back, and just so Goldberg's buddies
00:04:55don't stick their nose in my business, brother, your back is covered tonight, because when
00:05:05you win black and white, you're a winner, you're my disciples for life.
00:05:17How about that?
00:05:19Already, tonight, we have discovered the giant.
00:05:23Tell Hollywood just exactly how much you love him one more time.
00:05:29Yeah, go ahead and do it.
00:05:32Doesn't sound like love to me.
00:05:34I think we all know what it is.
00:05:36Tonight, the giant will face Goldberg in our feature main event on this program live.
00:05:44The brother will show me his loss and dedication when he hands me my world title NW belt back.
00:05:53Goldberg, you're going to crawl like a dog in my feet.
00:05:58Lace up your boots, Goldberg, because tonight, you're going to crawl.
00:06:02What a mega night this is going to be, where tonight, Goldberg and the giant will collide
00:06:09in our feature band.
00:06:10And Hollywood Hogan said, your back is covered.
00:06:14Could that be trouble with a world champ?
00:06:16We'll find out and come back after this.
00:06:18This portion of WCW Monday Nitro is brought to you by Foulfully.
00:06:22Get a limited edition Hot Wheels car and enter to win a real Mark Martin race car.
00:06:27Call 1-800-TEAM-FOUL for official rules.
00:06:29All right.
00:06:43And that's the way we like it, off with an explosion, Nitro continues.
00:07:01This capacity crowd, downtown Hartford, Connecticut at the Civic Center,
00:07:06pumped already in mid moments ago.
00:07:09As you look at this capacity crowd on hand, we discover that it will be Gopher and the Giants,
00:07:17one-on-one, live, here tonight on TNT, as we are on the air for three solid hours
00:07:25for professional wrestling's leader.
00:07:28This is not a big program. This is live as it happens.
00:07:32And you're gonna see it all tonight on TNT.
00:07:36And needless to say, the state capital of Connecticut, all the major stars of all
00:07:42factions, WCW, NWO, Hollywood, and the Wolfpack are in the house here tonight.
00:07:49And this crowd, lining around the building tonight,
00:07:53now settled in for some great professional wrestling action.
00:07:58Also here tonight, Steve Mongo McMichael, Disco Inferno and Alex Wright,
00:08:04Eddie Guerrero. We understand Raven is here.
00:08:08Scott Norton of the New World Order, Hollywood.
00:08:11And right now, though, we're gonna take you to our colleague, the one and only,
00:08:14Mean Gene Okerlund.
00:08:16Well, that is very nice of you, Tony Schiavone.
00:08:19We are back in an area very familiar to both myself and the chairman of the WCW Executive Committee,
00:08:24the great state of Connecticut, and as you said, Hartford.
00:08:27J.J. Dillon, right around the corner, is gonna be Fall Brawl and the War Games.
00:08:32The date, by the way, circled on your calendar, is Sunday, September the 13th,
00:08:37and available exclusively on pay-per-view.
00:08:39There is a lot of talk right now about what's going down in the War Games.
00:08:42Three teams of three men, two rings, covered by a cage, and only one door.
00:08:49That's right. You know, I was very interested by the comments that I just heard from Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
00:08:54I thought I heard him say that there's no one he hasn't beaten,
00:08:59that he has nothing left to prove,
00:09:02and this is the reason that he's got the giant doing his dirty work for him.
00:09:07That's something I'd have to think about for a little while.
00:09:10But we want to do this thing right, like you said, at Fall Brawl for the War Games.
00:09:14You're right. Two rings together, surrounded by a cage.
00:09:17There's a cage on the top and only one door.
00:09:19And I can announce the captains for the three teams, of which each team will have three men.
00:09:25Let's hear those captains now. This is very important.
00:09:28Hollywood Hulk Hogan will be the captain of one team.
00:09:32That's gonna be the NWO Hollywood black and white.
00:09:35That's correct. Diamond Dallas Page will be a captain.
00:09:39Representing World Championship Wrestling.
00:09:42All right.
00:09:43Favorable reaction here.
00:09:44And Kevin Nash will be a captain of the third team.
00:09:48Kevin Nash from the Wolf Pack.
00:09:50You've got Hogan, you've got GDP, Kevin Nash, and that's just for starters.
00:09:54One man from each team, which means there'll be three men in there to start.
00:09:58Every two minutes there will be a toss of the coin and there will be a new contestant enter the ring.
00:10:05The match cannot conclude until all nine men are in the ring.
00:10:10And the winner will get a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.
00:10:18That's Goldberg at Halloween having.
00:10:24Well, this is absolutely deafening.
00:10:26Obviously, this crowd, yes, agrees with that decision.
00:10:29And I compliment you and the executive committee, J.J.
00:10:32So the mind, Gene, is already starting to go.
00:10:35I mean, I know that Diamond Dallas Page and Goldberg have been very close friends,
00:10:39but there's a possibility for a championship match.
00:10:42Big Kevin Nash and Goldberg.
00:10:45And this might be the opportunity for Hollywood Hogan to get back in the ring with Goldberg.
00:10:49Well, Hogan's got to work his way back into contention here.
00:10:53That's correct.
00:10:54All right.
00:10:55War Games coming up.
00:10:56It's right around the corner.
00:10:57James Dillon, I thank you very much.
00:10:59Cody, they are literally hanging from the rafters.
00:11:02More Michael on TNT when we come back.
00:11:09Talk about you and Arne Anderson.
00:11:12By watching that video, I hope you got one thing out of that.
00:11:15That you are a big part of the Four Horsemen.
00:11:18One of the founding fathers of an excellent group.
00:11:22And more than that, that you can still be part of the elite Four Horsemen.
00:11:31We welcome you back, fans, to WCW Monday Nitro.
00:11:34And there they are, the most gorgeous.
00:11:36Oh, my.
00:11:39I can see a replay of that, like, right now.
00:11:42The most gorgeous ladies on cable TV.
00:11:44It's the Nitro girls, and they're all out.
00:11:47And there's fire.
00:11:49Hello, fire.
00:11:50She's always on fire.
00:11:52You're not kidding.
00:11:53She is.
00:11:54Spikes, Whisper, Kimberl, Tigers.
00:11:57They're all here tonight for this capacity crowd having a grand old time here on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:12:04And as you know, the Nitro Party has become a phenomenon.
00:12:07Our winner this week from New Iberia Jaycees in New Iberia, Louisiana.
00:12:11Nitro Party back, brought to you by Mug Root Beer.
00:12:13The foam goes straight to your brain.
00:12:15Here's this week's winner.
00:12:16The Monday Nitro Party with the new Iberia Jaycee.
00:12:19From the black and white, he's got the road.
00:12:29Eric Fischoff.
00:12:30And the one next, the third problem.
00:12:34The WCW, WCW, WCW champion of the world, Goldberg.
00:12:40Oh, yeah.
00:12:41Yes, those are your future leaders of New Iberia, Louisiana, our Jaycees with our Nitro Party
00:12:53pack winner.
00:12:54And I tell you, remember fans, we've got a grand prize Nitro Party coming up in a couple
00:12:57of weeks.
00:12:58On August 31st, you'll see live cut-ins of Mean Genie and the Nitro Girl direct from
00:13:02Party Headquarters at Wapakoneta High School in Wapakoneta, Ohio.
00:13:07You'll be in those things and maybe you will be our next Nitro Party winner.
00:13:12WAPA, what?
00:13:15That's Party Headquarters.
00:13:16Party Headquarters is what it is.
00:13:18There's nothing else to do in Ohio.
00:13:20That may be your opinion, but...
00:13:22I've been there.
00:13:24The Mongo McMichael coming in with the Bears jacket on in the first match here this week
00:13:30on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:13:31What excitement that we have here with the announcement, as you see the opponent for Mongo Sick Boy,
00:13:37with the announcement that Goldberg and the Giant will collide here tonight.
00:13:42It'll be live here on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:13:45Well, you know, Hogan also made a statement along with that.
00:13:48He talked to the Giant and said, look it, we'll be watching your back.
00:13:52That's gotta be a warning, a direct warning to the heavyweight champion of the world.
00:13:57And it's pretty obvious that Hogan has nominated the Giant to do his dirty work,
00:14:02telling the Giant that after he beats Goldberg tonight,
00:14:05that's his world's heavyweight title, speaking of Hollywood Hogan.
00:14:09Well, regardless of what Hogan may think or what the NWO Hollywood may do,
00:14:13herein lies the fact that WCW will give you a big time world title bout here tonight live.
00:14:20As you know, our competitors are gonna be on the air,
00:14:23and it's a program that was taped on another cable outlet a few weeks in advance,
00:14:28and I can promise you that we know this, that all their hype for their world title match,
00:14:33and the only thing that's gonna happen tonight, that thing will last about 10 seconds.
00:14:38In other words, when WCW promotes a world heavyweight title matchup,
00:14:43we are going to deliver the CB1 Nitro.
00:14:45Absolutely. Mike, you and I can go in the ring for 10 seconds.
00:14:48And that's what you're gonna get over there.
00:14:51Sick Boy goes down.
00:14:54You really wanna say something about Mike and I and Harry, I know.
00:14:58Boy, I tell you, the things that went through my head, they bleeped me in a heartbeat.
00:15:03Larry lit up on that one, but Sick Boy kicked.
00:15:05They already grabbed that bleep button.
00:15:07Can we get J.J. Dillon out here to sign it?
00:15:09No, we can't.
00:15:10Stomping on the chest and Sick Boy really homing in on Mungo.
00:15:17Not many people can say they're getting Mungo down within the first 30 seconds of the match,
00:15:21but Sick Boy's delivered here tonight.
00:15:22Well, we've always been impressed by Sick Boy.
00:15:24It's just been that lack of direction because of his association with the flock.
00:15:30In the back of the head, Mungo comes back, and Sick Boy went to the eyes.
00:15:34But Mungo's only weakness.
00:15:36I mean, you keep hitting Mungo in the upper body, you're gonna run out of steam.
00:15:40Big, strong guy, tough to hurt.
00:15:42And the more you punch him around the head and stuff, the more mad you make the guy.
00:15:46Mungo just made a stone.
00:15:48Mungo's been one of the men on the front line trying to recover the ball.
00:15:51Mungo trying to rekindle the horsemen to get them back together.
00:15:54But as far as Han Emerson is concerned, to no avail.
00:15:57And what about what happened on WCWO Saturday night this weekend?
00:16:01Lateral Press, one, two.
00:16:03And that interview conducted by Raven where Saturn came out,
00:16:06challenged Raven for a one-on-one match coming up at Fall Brawl,
00:16:10and said, if I win, you must set the flock free.
00:16:12And Raven agreed to it.
00:16:14And then the other stipulation of that matchup is if Raven wins the match,
00:16:18now Saturn has to return to the flock and be subservient to the boss, Raven.
00:16:24How about that?
00:16:25Watch out!
00:16:26One kick by Sick Boy.
00:16:27Just grazing, but enough force on the leg extension to get the man off his feet.
00:16:31And he got a two count.
00:16:33Yeah.
00:16:34Hard to hold Mungo down.
00:16:35Big strong guy.
00:16:36Just bench pressure right off of him.
00:16:38Good strategy by Sick Boy here.
00:16:40I mean, he's unorthodox, but he's aggressive.
00:16:42He's all over Mungo.
00:16:44In the face of referee Charles Robinson, Sick Boy.
00:16:47You know, Saturn this past Saturday was right.
00:16:50He talked about how talented Sick Boy was,
00:16:52and how if he would go out from underneath the guidance of Raven,
00:16:56or the power of Raven, that he would be a top contender to a title.
00:17:01We've often said that.
00:17:02We've said that about several members of the flock.
00:17:05Sick Boy especially.
00:17:06Running Lariat took Mungo off of his feet,
00:17:09and that is quite an accomplishment.
00:17:11Hey, Sick Boy, big man, good athlete, like you said.
00:17:14Break away from the flock.
00:17:15You've got to have soul.
00:17:17When it gets down to the bottom line,
00:17:18it separates the men from the weekend armchair champions.
00:17:24Sick Boy, after driving that point home,
00:17:28tries to cover, hooks a far leg and gets a two count.
00:17:32And arguing now with the referee.
00:17:34We have fans from all over, not only Connecticut,
00:17:36but all over the New England area.
00:17:38And look at these two men fighting on their knees here.
00:17:40Giving it their all.
00:17:42This is what it's all about when we're live here on Nitro.
00:17:45Trying to pick it up again here.
00:17:51Look at, trying to pick this big man up.
00:17:53And he could barely get him up that time,
00:17:55but did a darn good job at least executing something that time.
00:17:59Sick Boy!
00:18:01Nobody home for that one.
00:18:04Mongo rises to his feet now.
00:18:07Yeah, Sick Boy's in trouble.
00:18:09Knocked the wind out of himself.
00:18:10Mongo, he's ironing him up like a hawk.
00:18:14And nailed him right in the knee.
00:18:19Mongo capitalizes.
00:18:20Shoulder block out of the three-point stance.
00:18:22Gonna take Sick Boy up into the air.
00:18:24Oh, look at this.
00:18:26Sick Boy escaped.
00:18:28Mongo ducks a close hole.
00:18:30Mongo to the gut.
00:18:32Picks him up.
00:18:34Oh, just overpowered him.
00:18:36Sets him up for the tombstone.
00:18:37Spiked him.
00:18:39Right in the end zone he did.
00:18:41One, two, three, it's over.
00:18:42That's like a touchdown.
00:18:44And that's the Mongo spike.
00:18:46That's what it is.
00:18:47There you go.
00:18:48And that came from Sabinsco,
00:18:50who's never watched a football game in his life.
00:18:52Well, sometimes I watch the Super Bowl.
00:18:55Oh, look at that.
00:18:57Look at that goal, Hawksman.
00:18:58We're coming back.
00:18:59I don't blame him.
00:19:01I mean, take a look here.
00:19:03Mongo, explosive.
00:19:04Big man.
00:19:05Sick Boy just hit him in the wrong place.
00:19:07The upper body where Mongo's strong.
00:19:09But Mongo, he went smart.
00:19:10He went low.
00:19:11Took the wheels out.
00:19:12Oh, he stood him up here with power,
00:19:14but dropped him.
00:19:15Picture perfect.
00:19:17Bang, right there.
00:19:21And your winner?
00:19:22Mongo.
00:19:23Very good.
00:19:24Steve Mongo McMichael.
00:19:25Living legend on target here tonight before this capacity crowd.
00:19:29And needless to say, they have been chanting the name of Larry Larry since we took our position moments before we went on the air.
00:19:38I gotta go.
00:19:39I'm sure you do.
00:19:40And as he goes to take his kudos, we wanna go to you.
00:19:43Mike Kinada talk about the feature back live here tonight.
00:19:47It's one of our biggest ever in terms of size and in terms of importance.
00:19:52Undefeated the world champ Goldberg against the biggest man in the sport, the giant.
00:19:56What a blockbuster announcement to open Nitro.
00:19:59The news that the world's heavyweight title is going to be on the line, as well as the undefeated streak of Goldberg, 131-0.
00:20:08Tonight, he faces the giant.
00:20:09Hogan says, win my title, back for me.
00:20:12Gonna change the rules around for War Games as well on September 13th.
00:20:16There will be three teams.
00:20:17Wolfpack, the Hollywood team, and the WCW team captained by Diamond Dallas Bage.
00:20:22Well, it makes it even more dangerous.
00:20:23You know, we're in the insurance capital here, Hartford.
00:20:26Look at the insurance game.
00:20:27They take your money and bet you're not going to get sick.
00:20:31And you give them your money and you say, ha ha, I bet I am going to get sick.
00:20:35All the members of War Games better have big insurance policies.
00:20:40Only one man's gonna survive and make it to Goldberg.
00:20:43That one man will go on a Halloween Havoc when we go down in Las Vegas at the end of October and face Goldberg for the World Heavyweight title.
00:20:50With all that in mind, let's take you in the ring once again.
00:20:52Here's Mean Gene.
00:20:53I'm going to be out in Las Vegas.
00:20:55I'm going to be rolling those bones, Tony.
00:20:56You're going to come down to the crap tables with me.
00:20:58Ladies and gentlemen, speaking of Fall Brawl of the War Games, welcome Captain Diamond Dallas Bage!
00:21:07What a reaction to the captain of the WCW, a trio.
00:21:14Now, there was an out that Hobie would be the captain, that Nash would be the captain of Wolfpack, that Paige would be the captain of WCW.
00:21:21But there's six other men involved.
00:21:23And I'm sure as the time goes by during this program and during the week, we'll find out who's on who's team.
00:21:31Well, it's going to be interesting to fill in the blanks because there's so much at stake in this matchup.
00:21:36At Fall Brawl of the War Games, with the winner gaining the World Heavyweight title shot.
00:21:41Different spin to the War Games this year.
00:21:44Three teams comprised of three men each as the People's Champion.
00:21:50Diamond Dallas Cage is welcome to Hartford, Connecticut.
00:21:55It may be a different format, but the same danger lies for any man who gets in the ring.
00:21:59Watch out!
00:22:00Boom!
00:22:06Guys, you want to talk about somebody who is jacked?
00:22:10This man is absolutely jacked.
00:22:11We're just about three weeks away from Fall Brawl of the War Games.
00:22:15Some very interesting scenarios set up earlier tonight by the chairman of the WCW Executive Committee, J.J. Dillon.
00:22:23You are captaining a team of three, three teams of three men inside two rings, a big steel cage and only one door.
00:22:32But I guess the question that people are asking right now, DDP, who are your two partners going to be three weeks from now?
00:22:39You know, Dino, when the committee for World Championship Wrestling came to me and asked me to be the captain, it didn't take me nothing to say, I'm in it.
00:22:58Now you got one.
00:22:59Now you got one.
00:23:00So back up for a minute.
00:23:02Let me get number two.
00:23:05So I got on my Rolodex and I got this guy's number.
00:23:11And I thought to myself, I ain't gonna talk to him on the phone.
00:23:14This is something I want to do face to face.
00:23:17So I flew out west.
00:23:20And when I told him about my plan to mess with the man, the immortal, almighty professional wrestling god, Hollywood Scum.
00:23:36He got real jacked.
00:23:42Now, Hogan, I heard yourself right out here in the middle, basically talking to yourself, how you're the immortal one, how you've never been beaten.
00:23:55Well, this cat I'm talking about, if you look in the record books, brother, you're 0-1.
00:24:05That'll jog your noggin.
00:24:12And you're gonna get your shot against him when we get there at Fall Brawl.
00:24:18But that's in September.
00:24:20And right now, we're in August.
00:24:22And I can't stop thinking about something I have not been able to lay down in my mind.
00:24:28And that's what happened in Utah.
00:24:30When you, Hogan, and your band of hulaums beat me down right before my match with the hitman Bret Hart.
00:24:43For the U.S. title.
00:24:45You knew I wasn't.
00:24:50Speaking of devil.
00:24:52What is this?
00:24:53Things are out of control.
00:24:55Guys are just walking in here.
00:24:56I can't believe it.
00:24:57Uninvited.
00:24:58Gentlemen, this time, Mr. Hart has been allocated to DDP.
00:25:07I'd appreciate it.
00:25:08Maybe you and I could talk later.
00:25:10Not tonight.
00:25:11Gene, the details of my life are quite inconsequential.
00:25:15You come out here with your sorry ass excuses.
00:25:19You talk about slipping on a banana peel back in the dress room.
00:25:22Let me say one thing.
00:25:24When you show up to fight me, whether it's a U.S. championship or any kind of a match,
00:25:28you better show up to fight.
00:25:30If you got some kind of excuse, don't blame me and don't blame Hollywood Hogan.
00:25:35Suck it up and learn like the rest of us either win or lose.
00:25:39And that's the price you pay in the WCW.
00:25:45Back up, Jack.
00:25:52First of all, I ain't crying about nothing.
00:25:55I never got out what I was about to say.
00:25:57But since you're out here running your mouth,
00:26:02you forgot to tell everybody you're the best there is, the best there was,
00:26:06and the best there ever will be.
00:26:11So why don't you prove it tonight?
00:26:16Whoa, whoa, wait a minute.
00:26:19Bret Hart, the offer is on the table that sounds to me like it's one you cannot refuse.
00:26:26See this U.S. championship title?
00:26:28Of course I do.
00:26:30This title means the world to me because I've proved two times
00:26:34that I'm gonna be the greatest U.S. champion of all time.
00:26:39And I want you to think real hard, real long.
00:26:43You talk about Roddy Piper, he's injured at home because of me.
00:26:46Randy Savage, he's injured because of me.
00:26:49Chris Benoit, crippled at home because of me.
00:26:53Booker T, crippled at home because of me.
00:26:56And the only reason Lex Luger's not dead somewhere is because he was Sting's friend.
00:27:01But you, you are the scum of the earth.
00:27:05And I look forward to any kind of match you want.
00:27:07And if you want a shot at this tonight, you got it.
00:27:10How about that, ladies and gentlemen?
00:27:13That's what Nitro is all about.
00:27:15I think we have just signed a match between Diamond Dallas Page and Bret Hart tonight,
00:27:20live here on TNT and Nitro for the United States title.
00:27:24Hartford Connecticut is on fire.
00:27:26And so are you.
00:27:27All right, we are back into England.
00:27:55Getting a little air time here on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:27:58You know, we're a couple of months away from the fall foliage.
00:28:01But let's bring out the leader of the flock.
00:28:03Please welcome to Connecticut, Raven.
00:28:10Oh, that's got to be good.
00:28:13This is Oakland's first time talking to Raven.
00:28:16Well, a couple of times before.
00:28:18Well, make no mistake.
00:28:20He's the one with the tattoos and the body piercing.
00:28:22If you're not.
00:28:23After this, it may be never more.
00:28:28Raven, before we go any further, I've got to confront you regarding what I saw this past Saturday
00:28:33on WCW Saturday Night on our sister station, PBS.
00:28:36Hey, hey, wait a second, Horace.
00:28:38Hey.
00:28:39Raven, you make me sick of my stomach.
00:28:44What is this all about?
00:28:48What is this all about?
00:28:49For the last four months, I have done nothing but watch your back and help you win matches.
00:28:55You haven't done nothing for me or anybody in the flock.
00:29:00Now for the last two weeks, I have beat the living dog out of you into this ring.
00:29:06And apparently, it hasn't gotten through to you.
00:29:09So tonight, I want you one more time so I can beat some sense of that crybaby out of yours.
00:29:15Hey, I didn't even get the first question out, but apparently you can respond to this.
00:29:20If you'd like a match with me, that's fine.
00:29:23Except we'll do it under Raven's rules, which means it'll be a tag match this time.
00:29:28And I'll pick the partners.
00:29:30And for your partner, I'll give you a canyon.
00:29:34And for my partner, since he might as well get used to being subservient to me again, I'll pick Saturn.
00:29:43Wait a minute.
00:29:44That doesn't jive.
00:29:45Come on.
00:29:46Who are you trying to pull my leg?
00:29:47These people know better than that.
00:29:50Or do they?
00:29:51You're out of your mind.
00:29:52There's no way I'm teaming with you.
00:29:54Forget it.
00:29:55What, are you scared to face Canyon and Horace?
00:29:59Whoa, whoa.
00:30:00Wait a second.
00:30:01I'll team with you.
00:30:02You're in your corner.
00:30:03And the second you reach for a tag, I'll knock your head off.
00:30:06Wait a minute.
00:30:07James Dillon, Canyon, you're here.
00:30:10Maybe you can shed some light on all of this.
00:30:12Saturn, come on back.
00:30:13All right.
00:30:14What I'm hearing is a verbal commitment from you, a verbal commitment from you.
00:30:18You're shaking your head yes.
00:30:19And I've heard a verbal commitment from you.
00:30:21So we have, as far as I'm concerned, an official tag team match that is going to take place tonight.
00:30:28We're going to see it.
00:30:30But hold on a minute.
00:30:31This talk about slapping your own partner, we've had enough of that.
00:30:34If any of you causes your own partner to lose in this match, you're going to be suspended from WCW for 90 days.
00:30:41Get out of here, JJ.
00:30:4290 days.
00:30:43And furthermore, I'm going to instruct the referee assigned to this match tonight that it can only end by a submission or a pinfall.
00:30:53We're tired of this.
00:30:54We want to see a winner.
00:30:56We want to see a winner.
00:30:57How about that tonight?
00:30:58J.J.
00:30:59Dillon.
00:31:00Yes, tonight.
00:31:01Raven, Saturn, Horace Canyon.
00:31:05That's coming up here on TNT.
00:31:07Don't go away.
00:31:08Don't go away.
00:31:09Big night.
00:31:10Monday nights on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:31:12Tony.
00:31:13Well, Gene, help.
00:31:14Guys, I mean, it is coming at us literally right and left here tonight.
00:31:19The big announcements, the big things that are going down for this program.
00:31:23Let us catalog them right now.
00:31:25Raven and Saturn in a few moments will face Henry and Horace.
00:31:29Fred Hart has already agreed to defend the US title live tonight against Diamond Dallas Page.
00:31:35We already knew about Goldberg going up against the Giant here tonight live.
00:31:40We also listen to this guy, Eddie Guerrero will meet Conan in the Wolfpack one-on-one later on in this program.
00:31:47And then, not to be outdone, there is some major surprise that Diamond Dallas Page has for Hollywood Hogan.
00:31:56A man that he's contacted.
00:31:58A man, apparently, if I heard him right, is here tonight.
00:32:02And we're going to have that later on here tonight on this program.
00:32:06Wow, we have some ground to cover this evening, don't we?
00:32:09What a lineup this evening on Nitro.
00:32:12And what about DDP's plan to mess with the man, Hollywood Hogan?
00:32:17What about a surprise?
00:32:18That's the key ingredient.
00:32:20That's the mystique, the common denominator.
00:32:24And there he goes.
00:32:25I'd much rather watch AC Jazz do this.
00:32:29I bet you would.
00:32:30Well, here is Alex Wright.
00:32:32Blue-eyed little goddess.
00:32:34Not him.
00:32:36Yeah, let's clarify that, Larry.
00:32:38Yeah, please, Larry.
00:32:39I just did.
00:32:40I mean, I know they've been chanting your name all evening.
00:32:42And we've seen Hartford, Connecticut evolve into Larry Land.
00:32:45They can chant all they want.
00:32:47No one cares about Dusty Rhodes and his stupid, threatening tag order.
00:32:51Well, that's fair.
00:32:52No one here does.
00:32:54Now, here is Alex Wright.
00:32:57He and the Disco Inferno to meet High Voltage in this tag team match here.
00:33:01And what could this be?
00:33:03Well, fans, the only thing I can tell you, it's live.
00:33:06We're in Hartford.
00:33:07Anything can happen.
00:33:09And according to DDP, according to going through that Rolodex, Hollywood Hogan's going to be in for the shock of his life.
00:33:17And it's all going to come down here tonight, live on this program, along with Goldberg and the Giant.
00:33:24Again, warning to Goldberg.
00:33:27I want that man to stay the heavyweight champion forever as far as I'm concerned.
00:33:32But Hogan made it clear they will be watching the Giants back.
00:33:37That's a threat.
00:33:39Now, I'm still trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together as far as Diamond Dallas Page and that big surprise.
00:33:45He flew out west.
00:33:46We talked about the record between Hogan and this man being, well, what did he say?
00:33:51Hogan was 0-1 against this individual.
00:33:53Now, that's a pretty select group right there.
00:33:56Well, I tell you, Diamond Dallas has shocked us all.
00:33:59He pulled Cara Malone out.
00:34:00He's teamed with Jay Leno.
00:34:02He could have anybody.
00:34:04This is like, can you top this?
00:34:06He will.
00:34:07And it's all on WCW Monday Nitro because tonight, as we said at the top of the program and
00:34:13as we talked about earlier, we are the only live wrestling program here tonight.
00:34:18And we're gonna deliver.
00:34:20We are not going to have a ten second main event like you're gonna see elsewhere
00:34:26tonight in a program that was taped earlier.
00:34:29When we promote something, we're gonna deliver and give you the match that you
00:34:34wanted to see and give you action that you wanted to see.
00:34:38Not ten seconds worth or twelve seconds worth like you're gonna get later on tonight on
00:34:44another network.
00:34:45End of the road.
00:34:47Hey, he nailed him.
00:34:49Hey, Disco, he better focus because all that movement he has is gonna get crushed here by
00:34:55High Voltage.
00:34:56High Voltage.
00:34:57High Voltage as we expected going to the Power Game.
00:35:00Good, quick tags.
00:35:01First, it was Rage taking advantage of Disco Inferno.
00:35:04Now the tag into Chaos.
00:35:05Ooh, but he telegraphed that back body drop.
00:35:07That's the opening for Disco and Alex Wright.
00:35:11There's a nice movement there.
00:35:15Chaos just pushed him over to his corner.
00:35:20Pull him down.
00:35:21Up on top and a great move.
00:35:24He made the tag to Rage, I thought.
00:35:27Yeah.
00:35:28Yeah, that's the legal man.
00:35:30Wait, wait, wait.
00:35:31The monster is back.
00:35:33And he's hungry.
00:35:34And the death grip applied to Alex Wright.
00:35:37You never know when this crazy man's gonna hit.
00:35:43And the other three men I don't think realize what's about to happen to them.
00:35:48Now they do.
00:35:51Rage down.
00:35:53Chaos.
00:35:54Chopped down like a big turner oak from Hartford.
00:35:58Come on.
00:35:59Who's gonna stop him?
00:36:01That's the question.
00:36:02Well, we've seen this pattern develop before.
00:36:05When Ming hits the ring, there are soon to be bodies laying everywhere.
00:36:10Tongue and death grip applied to Chaos.
00:36:12Well, he eliminated the security force last week.
00:36:15I don't see them running in.
00:36:18The referee just trying to count.
00:36:21And Rage came back in.
00:36:24He's gonna get the tongue and death grip as well.
00:36:27Who's gonna control this guy?
00:36:29It's random attacks that we've seen.
00:36:31And we're seeing it here.
00:36:33A man, get out of his face.
00:36:35I wouldn't stand there.
00:36:37He doesn't know what that guy's even saying.
00:36:40I think he knows now.
00:36:45That's the universal language that Tongue and death grip applied to our official Billy Silverman.
00:36:52Who goes down, more security have hit the ring.
00:36:55Good luck.
00:36:59Oh, it's the tongue and death grip on a member of WCW security.
00:37:07Oh, they've got mace.
00:37:09It's like pepper spray or mace right into the eyes.
00:37:11That guy drops to Ming.
00:37:13He thinks it's allergy relief.
00:37:16I believe he does.
00:37:17It had no effect.
00:37:19Almost challenging and they spray it in his eyes.
00:37:22He uses that for deodorant.
00:37:24Can you believe what we're witnessing here?
00:37:28Nothing.
00:37:29No man.
00:37:30No object.
00:37:31Nothing can stop him.
00:37:32We'll be back.
00:37:37Before we go to the next match, we'll remind you, next Monday we're gonna be at the United Center in Chicago for WCW Monday Nitro.
00:37:46Tickets available at the box office at Ticketmaster.
00:37:49On Monday, August 31st, we return to Miami in the Miami Arena.
00:37:53Tickets at the box office at Ticketmaster.
00:37:55And then on Monday, September 14th, the Bilo Center in Greenville, South Carolina.
00:38:00Tickets at all Bilo stores, select Bilo store locations, and at the Greenville Municipal Stadium.
00:38:07And I had a chance this Saturday to be in Greenville, opening the picket sales, meeting a lot of the fans, being there with fire and hydrous and the Nitro girls.
00:38:17Had a great time.
00:38:18And I tell you, Seattle, South Carolina is ready for WCW Monday Nitro.
00:38:23Wait a minute.
00:38:24Eddie Guerrero is scheduled for a matchup here against Conan.
00:38:28We talked about that.
00:38:30We talked about that match happening twice tonight.
00:38:32We said Eddie against Conan twice tonight.
00:38:35And now he's not dressed to wrestle.
00:38:38Yeah, that's right.
00:38:39Unscheduled interview.
00:38:41Hey, production, don't even think about going to a commercial.
00:38:46If not, I might go say my piece at some other show.
00:38:50Yeah, that's right, Eric.
00:38:52Do I got your attention now, Eric Bischoff?
00:38:55I can't get it in the back.
00:38:57Huh?
00:38:58I try and go in there and talk to you about business and I get screamed at and kicked out.
00:39:03Well, if this is what I got to do to get your attention, Eric Bischoff, that this is what I'm going to do.
00:39:10Fire me.
00:39:11Do whatever it takes.
00:39:13I could give a you-know-what, Eric.
00:39:16Eric Bischoff, time in and time out.
00:39:20For one whole year, I have been coming here to work just to be mistreated by you and very much unappreciated, Eric.
00:39:35On the road, on TV, I give you my 100%.
00:39:42I give all these people my 100%, whether they like me or whether they don't.
00:39:46I give you the best show there is and you know it.
00:39:49And you cannot give me the time of day in the back to listen to what I have to say to you, Eric.
00:39:56Well, I could give a damn.
00:39:58Because you know what?
00:40:00I don't care anymore, Eric Bischoff.
00:40:02You got a lot of young talent here in WCW.
00:40:07And all you do is hold us down for people that you pay a lot of money to and that you have way up here.
00:40:17Well, I don't care, Bischoff, anymore.
00:40:20I don't care about these people.
00:40:22I don't care about nothing anymore, Eric.
00:40:24You have driven me to that.
00:40:26Eric Bischoff, Eric Bischoff, this has nothing to do with you people.
00:40:32This is personal between me and you, Eric.
00:40:34I come to work with my heart and all you do is step on it.
00:40:49And I'm tired of it.
00:40:52You hold me down.
00:40:54You've held me down.
00:40:55And from now on in, Eric, see, I don't know what it is.
00:40:58I don't know if it's something personal you got against me.
00:41:00Whatever it is, Eric, I don't know.
00:41:03I mean, what is it about me that you have against me that you keep me from stepping up the ladder in this profession?
00:41:10What is it about me?
00:41:12I mean, you got me tied down, Eric, in my contract and I could give.
00:41:18I'm telling you this right now, okay?
00:41:22And I'm saying this for any other guy that wants to come out here and speak his mind that's being held down.
00:41:28If you got the, you know what, come out here and say it like I am.
00:41:33Eric Bischoff, I'm telling you this.
00:41:35Face to face, boy, because I can't get your attention.
00:41:38Other way, not face to face, let me say.
00:41:41On national TV, in front of all these people, I'm coming out.
00:41:45And the only reason I haven't come out any sooner is for two reasons.
00:41:48Chavo Jr., I love you, man.
00:41:51You're my blood and I'll never let that go.
00:41:54You're one of the reasons I haven't said anything about what I'm doing tonight.
00:42:00And the other reason is because I have two kids and a wife that I have to support.
00:42:05Well, you know what?
00:42:06If losing my dignity means having to put up with WCW, NWO red, black or white, whatever the hell it is, I don't care.
00:42:17So Eric Bischoff, I'm telling you this right now.
00:42:20I want out of my contract, no matter what it takes, who I gotta speak to, or what it is, okay?
00:42:27And here, let me save you some time, Eric Bischoff.
00:42:32I'm throwing coffee on myself.
00:42:36As far as I'm concerned, Eric Bischoff, you can take this job and shove it up your you-know-what.
00:42:42Don't look at me.
00:42:47Obviously, we're not gonna have a match that got his bag, and we have never witnessed anything such as that in the history of this program.
00:42:56I mean, I can sympathize with Eddie's animosity towards Eric Bischoff, but I don't know what he's talking about.
00:43:03You know, it's just personal issues, obviously, that have become public.
00:43:08You can just sense the level of frustration in the voice of Eddie Guerrero.
00:43:12There's obviously gonna be no match here, but fans gonna come tonight.
00:43:16Goldberg, the giant one-on-one, and what big surprise in the store for Hollywood.
00:43:22Come on back, we'll find out anytime.
00:43:24All right, this is the last time, the last plea I'll ever make.
00:43:28Please, do not let the horsemen die.
00:43:31This is shaping up to be one of the biggest nights we've had in many, many months, many years in pro wrestling.
00:43:43It's gonna come in the remaining two hours of this live telecast.
00:43:47We'll go out and regret the hitting that horse for the United States title.
00:43:53We are also gonna see Goldberg in the sky and collide for the world title.
00:43:57In his GDP forecast, through his Rolodex, he has found the man.
00:44:03And that shocker, that surprise, whoever it may be, will come out to confront Hollywood Hogan here on this program live tonight, Mike, today.
00:44:17Well, Tony, I can tell you that the internet has been absolutely rife with speculation over the course of the past couple of days about a major player, a major surprise tonight at Nitro.
00:44:33If that is the case, if that is the man that Diamond Dallas Page is talking about, his plan to mess with Hollywood Hogan, this could be the biggest Nitro ever.
00:44:43Well, I tell you what, whatever Diamond Dallas said in the past, he's made happen.
00:44:49No reason he's gonna let us down tonight.
00:44:51I can't wait to see what Diamond Dallas has up his sleeve.
00:44:55And through all of that, we still have this weird tank, bizarre tag team match that Raven and Saturn, you heard me right.
00:45:06Raven and Saturn will be a team in.
00:45:08But it's Canyon and Horace.
00:45:11Yeah, Saturn made his feelings clear.
00:45:13JJ came in and threw a whole wrench in the cogs of Saturn.
00:45:17I mean, Saturn has to tag Raven if Raven comes to make the tag.
00:45:21Yeah, this is a case of Raven's rules.
00:45:24And as JJ Dillon mentioned, if you cause your partner to lose in this matchup, you will be hit with a 90-day suspension by the WCW Executive Committee.
00:45:35One other factor to keep in mind, the winner of this matchup will be determined by either submission or pinfall.
00:45:43We're going to have a winner in this tag team matchup.
00:45:46And they're already at each other's throats out there.
00:45:51You know, Mike, going back to, before this match gets underway,
00:45:57going back to what we've heard throughout the week about on the Internet, on the hotlines,
00:46:03and all the reports we've heard about who this person may be certainly piques our interest.
00:46:10And we don't want to speculate, much like the Internet does all the time,
00:46:15but we certainly want to say that any time now, we may be in for one of the biggest announcements ever.
00:46:21Here we go. Match underway.
00:46:23And quickly, how about that? We almost had a three cap.
00:46:26But the tensions between Saturn and Raven almost boiled over right there.
00:46:30Saturn pushed Raven over. Now, he's got to come in the ring here.
00:46:34It's Raven rules with a pinch of J.J. Dillon.
00:46:38Barely got the- Shut your mouth to get out of it!
00:46:41The disparity that we talked about, and we knew what happened.
00:46:43Get out of it! Now get out!
00:46:46I mean, you can just see the hatred and hear it from the voice of Saturn in the facial expressions there.
00:46:53I know, it's like a married couple.
00:46:56Speak for yourself. Side headlock.
00:46:58I'm not speaking for me.
00:46:59Into the ropes.
00:47:01Ducky Lowe. Watch out, he caught him.
00:47:04Canyon has been the innovator of many great new moves, but-
00:47:09There's an old standard, and that was picture perfect.
00:47:13Belly-to-belly, overhead release, suplex by Saturn.
00:47:16The horse comes into the ring, and he's T-boned back into the corner.
00:47:20And the horse is the man that began all of this.
00:47:22Caught him sleeping.
00:47:24Because he wanted Raven in the ring one more time.
00:47:27Remember, it was on WCW Saturday night where Raven came out.
00:47:36Remember, he came out, and he probably didn't remember the front door.
00:47:39The horse didn't come out for his next match.
00:47:42So you can- Good hook.
00:47:44Great teamwork, as a matter of fact, by Coruscant Canyon.
00:47:47Here's a cover.
00:47:48One, two.
00:47:49Well, good and all.
00:47:50I'll tell you, so far, excellent teamwork.
00:47:51And that's the problem Saturn and Raven are gonna have.
00:47:53You know, tag teams have to make a lot of tags.
00:47:56Have to use ring positioning.
00:47:57Have to trust each other 100%.
00:48:01And that does not exist, the team of Raven and Saturn.
00:48:04Well, that's absolutely impossible.
00:48:06The way these two have been rivals for so long,
00:48:08how are they gonna be able to trust each other?
00:48:10One, two.
00:48:15Canyon, basic straight ahead kicks to the gut that time when Sidney Mann.
00:48:20Caught him in midair.
00:48:22That's a lot of power right there, guys.
00:48:24And great anticipation, as well.
00:48:25Look at this.
00:48:26Running backbreaker by Canyon.
00:48:28And Canyon will make a cover.
00:48:31One, two, three.
00:48:33Would only get a two count, enable the right shoulder to get up.
00:48:36So far, no effort from Raven even to extend an arm for a tag.
00:48:41And he knew this would happen.
00:48:42It would be basically two singles men wrestling as a tag team.
00:48:46Well, look at this.
00:48:47There's one way to help out his partner.
00:48:49Just as soon as I said that, Raven comes through with a great move.
00:48:53And he'll be good for about ten seconds.
00:48:56Just about like our opponents tonight.
00:48:58Imagine, two top stars going in the ring and only giving them ten seconds.
00:49:03Don't blink.
00:49:06Oh, well, that's them.
00:49:07Oh, boy.
00:49:08Full of hype.
00:49:10Nothing inside here.
00:49:11It's a kid.
00:49:12Russian leg sweep.
00:49:14A series.
00:49:15This is number three.
00:49:16How about it?
00:49:17I tell you, Raven's going to town.
00:49:18Good aggressive moves right there, one after the other.
00:49:21Nice combinations, but he's not pinning the man.
00:49:24He could have him here.
00:49:26There's a method to his madness, though, Larry.
00:49:28I think he's just plain madness.
00:49:31Obviously did not want to get a win.
00:49:34Walked coldly towards Horace, stared into the eyes of Horace.
00:49:38And now as Canyon expends all the energy to pull himself back up,
00:49:42he tries to kick him down again.
00:49:44Makes a tag, and we get our first exchange without bickering going on
00:49:48between Raven and Saturn.
00:49:52And now Saturn following up.
00:49:54Lethal blows and a backhand chop.
00:49:56Oh, my goodness.
00:49:58You can feel, you can hear that one.
00:50:02Right on the side of the head.
00:50:06So many ways that Saturn can take a man apart.
00:50:10Very brutal individual, Tony.
00:50:12Stares at Raven, who refuses to look at him.
00:50:15Looks down as the tag is made.
00:50:17In the back of the head.
00:50:22Snapmare takeover.
00:50:24Raven.
00:50:27He's got Canyon down.
00:50:30Where is he?
00:50:31Get in that chair.
00:50:33Raven drools.
00:50:35Remember, as you said.
00:50:37Must be pinfall or submission.
00:50:41A pickup.
00:50:47Oh, my goodness.
00:50:49Is he going to...
00:50:51Look at this.
00:50:52He's holding on.
00:50:53Holding over dear life.
00:50:54He's going to try really kind of like, what,
00:50:56bulldog him or DDT on the chair.
00:50:58And Raven got the chair head first.
00:51:02First.
00:51:05Great counter that time by Canyon,
00:51:07taking Raven by the back of the head,
00:51:09driving him face first into the steel chair.
00:51:13Look at the difference.
00:51:14Horace is jumping up and down.
00:51:15He's dying to get in.
00:51:16And Saturn's on the other side,
00:51:18almost looking disgusted.
00:51:20Not excited to get in at all here.
00:51:23Come on, Raven.
00:51:24There you go.
00:51:28Amazing that these athletes...
00:51:30Well, I know down deep inside,
00:51:31Saturn does not want to lose.
00:51:33Certainly doesn't.
00:51:34And here comes Horace.
00:51:35He wants Raven.
00:51:36That's all he's ever wanted.
00:51:38He didn't even really want to go to this tag team match.
00:51:40Nailed him in the corner right there.
00:51:42So he's taking in all his anguish on Raven.
00:51:44Set him in hard.
00:51:45Horace with a great move.
00:51:47Power slams him at one-two.
00:51:48But could not hold him down for three.
00:51:50Horace finally gets his shot at the man who,
00:51:52in his own words, makes me sick.
00:51:55That's the leader of the flock, Raven.
00:51:57I think he's not the only one that feels that way.
00:51:59As Horace goes up.
00:52:02Horace up on top.
00:52:04Big splash.
00:52:06Cover one, two.
00:52:08And Saturn makes a save.
00:52:10Yeah, Canyon didn't like it, but the save was made.
00:52:14You're not kidding.
00:52:15And they're peering off here.
00:52:16Functioning as a team, although they despise each other.
00:52:22And Raven and Canyon thrown very hard together.
00:52:25And functioning as a team, even though they're going to go head-to-head
00:52:30fall brawl in a one-on-one matchup.
00:52:32Those two men in the world.
00:52:33Raven and Saturn again thrown together.
00:52:36Oh!
00:52:37Inadvertent as it may have been.
00:52:40That one hurt.
00:52:41Inadvertent but effective.
00:52:42One, two.
00:52:44Oh!
00:52:45And Saturn makes a save again.
00:52:47Every time we see Raven, Canyon, Saturn members will flock in,
00:52:55the match becomes more bizarre and unpredictable.
00:52:58Maureen, look at this double-team.
00:53:00Oh, what a double-team move.
00:53:04One, two.
00:53:06He kicked out.
00:53:07Two and a half, he's out.
00:53:09He kicked out.
00:53:10Horace and Canyon got to be getting frustrated here.
00:53:14They've hit him with everything, great tag teaming.
00:53:17And still can't hold Saturn down.
00:53:20I'm telling you, this guy will die before he loses.
00:53:25Look at that.
00:53:26It can barely stand up.
00:53:27But he had enough fortitude to kick out.
00:53:30Tag exchange Canyon and Horace.
00:53:32Look, he can't even stand.
00:53:34They try to double-whip him to the left side, Larry.
00:53:36Nothing left.
00:53:37Nothing left.
00:53:38He's crawling.
00:53:39This is their opportunity here.
00:53:41They can get their tag team together in this right here.
00:53:44Canyon's got him up.
00:53:46Where is Horace going?
00:53:49Oh, he's going out.
00:53:52As from way up top, he dropped his face first from over the shoulders.
00:53:57Stop sign is in.
00:53:58Hey, Saturn's in trouble.
00:54:00Canyon hit the flapjack and now Horace with the stop sign.
00:54:05Wrong man, wrong time.
00:54:09Into the Death Valley driver.
00:54:11Right on the back of the neck.
00:54:13It's over.
00:54:15Wow, what a tag team match that was.
00:54:19Four men really giving it everything.
00:54:26And in the end, the misdirected stop sign, the Death Valley driver.
00:54:33Believe it or not, you can say it.
00:54:35Saturn and Raven together with a win.
00:54:38No.
00:54:39Wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:54:40Wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:54:41Wait a second.
00:54:42The man can barely stand up a moment ago.
00:54:46And now the even flow.
00:54:49Okay, the best thing in the world, just let the two of them have each other
00:54:52and be done with it.
00:54:54Directing the flock to continue the carnage.
00:54:57Look at this, Kidman steps in and he gets an even flow for his trouble.
00:55:00Kidman tried to stop it.
00:55:01He's the only one with any sense here now, but look at Riggs and Dick Boy.
00:55:05And now Horace, Horace pulled him off.
00:55:08Horace pulled him off.
00:55:13Horace pulled him off.
00:55:16And Horace has a full Nelson slam on.
00:55:19And now he attacks Horace.
00:55:22I don't know, I don't know.
00:55:28I'm a legend and I don't know.
00:55:31They all deserve each other is all I can say.
00:55:34Each and every one of them.
00:55:36The only one standing besides Raven with Dick Boy.
00:55:39I think Riggs kind of just got out of the way.
00:55:41Well, Senator Raven will meet as we take a look at our Ben Gay Ultra Strict Ben Gay replay.
00:55:47And they're all gonna need it.
00:55:48There was bodies everywhere.
00:55:49Started here with Horace with the stop sign.
00:55:52Then Saturn came in.
00:55:53Look, it picked up Horace.
00:55:54Dumped him right on the back of his neck.
00:55:57That's gonna need some heat right there.
00:56:00Pulls up the leg.
00:56:02One, two, and finally it ends.
00:56:05But Carnage continues.
00:56:08Bizarre as it may sound.
00:56:10Horace stepped in and then I guess the mind power of Raven took over.
00:56:15Ultra strength Ben Gay.
00:56:16Hey, it's the strongest Ben Gay ever.
00:56:19Back with more live from Hartford.
00:56:21We got a lot going on.
00:56:22Come on back with us.
00:56:23And we're back and my.
00:56:29This place is rocking now.
00:56:32Wolfpack in the house.
00:56:34And not by coincidence though, Bobby the Brain Heenan is as well.
00:56:39I'm in the house is right.
00:56:41As the Wolfpack makes its way to the ring and we never know what to expect, there's A-Dawg.
00:56:49I wanna give you a program note that tomorrow night, 8 o'clock, TNT will offer an all-star action event where the network premieres.
00:56:56Masters of the martial arts presented by wrestling snipe, it's a two-hour special in honor of the grandmasters in the field of martial arts.
00:57:05As well as featured guest stars from film and competitions unparalleled in the world.
00:57:11Of course, wrestling snipe will star in the upcoming U-Line feature, Blade.
00:57:15And that will all be tomorrow night.
00:57:18And here on TNT, the only network to bring you live Monday wrestling every Monday.
00:57:33Well, they love the Wolfpack and you know why.
00:57:36They have the athletes that perform.
00:57:41Such as Luger, Sting, Nash, K-Dawg, Macho Man even though he's on the shelf.
00:57:51And mean what they say, say what they mean, whatever cliche you wanna use.
00:57:56These men have performed over the years, Brain.
00:57:58That is why the fans cheer them on.
00:58:02No doubt about it.
00:58:03Kevin Nash is one big man, Big Sexy, the Giant Killer.
00:58:11Everyone here in Hartford, they're behind the Wolfpack.
00:58:14Don't forget, three men.
00:58:18Hartford, Connecticut.
00:58:19Right here, the Wolfpack is most definitely in the house.
00:58:36But only three men will go to war games on the Wolfpack team.
00:58:40We know one of them is the captain, Kevin Nash.
00:58:43We know one of them is the captain, Kevin Nash.
00:58:52War games is coming up with three teams.
00:58:56And I've been there, done that, and loving the idea of doing it again.
00:59:01The only thing different this time that makes it much, much sweeter is I'm running with the pack, and I'm red and black for life.
00:59:14Yo, yo, yo, yo, let me speak on this.
00:59:21Yo, you know the black and white be talking about their for life, but I want everybody to know,
00:59:32I want everybody to know Nosotos Somos Unos Vatos Locos forever.
00:59:37But more importantly than that, Harper in the Wolf Pack is Bowdy Bowdy and-
00:59:42Bowdy Bowdy!
00:59:44Take it to him, Harper.
00:59:57Sweet to be back in Connecticut.
01:00:02Short and sweet.
01:00:14War Games.
01:00:15I'm going to make a little prediction.
01:00:20War Games will be the end of the black and white as we know it.
01:00:28So Hall, Hogan, if you got what it takes, I'll tell you right now, if you don't run with the Pack,
01:00:40be prepared to be hunted by the Pack.
01:00:43And since this has been plagiarized so
01:00:52many times, but you know what?
01:00:54When I say it, it means so much more.
01:00:57The Wolf Pack is just too sweet!
01:01:03The Wolf Pack always having a great time, always enjoying the fan support.
01:01:15And you can put any combination of those three men, and they are going to be a force.
01:01:19One of those three men could win War Games, could go on to face Goldberg for the world title.
01:01:26And Halloween Heaven, the one man remaining will get that shot, coming up on September 13th at Fall Brawl.
01:01:39That's truly going to be a representative group upcoming at the War Games, no matter who the Wolf Pack chooses.
01:01:45And no matter, tonight on this program, Bobby the Brain here, and the word is out, it's Goldberg.
01:01:51It's the Giant one-on-one.
01:01:53Obviously, the biggest challenge for Goldberg on this program to date.
01:01:57And what did Hulk Hogan say?
01:01:59He was going to be watching the Giants back.
01:02:01Watching the Giants back is what Hollywood is saying.
01:02:03Well, Goldberg better realize what he's dealing with here.
01:02:05He's just not getting in the ring with a man 7'4", well over 500 pounds.
01:02:09He's fighting probably the whole black and white, because you know the mentality of Bischoff and Hogan.
01:02:14They will win at anyone's expense.
01:02:16But who is the element, the surprise element?
01:02:20Who is the man that Diamond Dallas Page is talking about?
01:02:23Apparently, any time now, we're going to find out Diamond Dallas Page, the leader of the WCW team,
01:02:29has a shocker for Hollywood Hogan, Mike, today.
01:02:31Tony, everywhere you turn in the past couple of days, there's been rumors, there's been innuendo, there's been speculation.
01:02:37I think we're going to find out this evening, DDP's big surprise for Hollywood Hogan.
01:02:42Let's see what materializes.
01:02:43Don't forget DDP and Bret the Hitman Hart as well to go one-on-one for the US title.
01:02:48Dean Malenko and Kurt Hennig in a rematch from WCW Saturday night, a whole lot more.
01:02:53But right now, we go back to action as we continue with wrestling.
01:02:56As you have come to expect and come to know here on WCW Monday Nitro.
01:03:02It's amazing, either side of the spectrum.
01:03:08We hear the Wolfpack music, and the bands are rough.
01:03:11We hear the black and white.
01:03:12Hey!
01:03:13The music and the band booed up for you.
01:03:16Let's go!
01:03:17When you look at the stout men, the strong men, the most feared men in our sport.
01:03:22NWO Hollywood black and white really have a prize right here.
01:03:25And a man with a demeanor, the man with the ability of Scott Flash Norton.
01:03:31What a force he is!
01:03:33A powerful force!
01:03:34And Scott Flash Norton, who has been, well, running up quite a winning streak as of late,
01:03:39using, of all things, the powerbomb to destroy his opponents, has Scott Kutske in his sights this evening on Nitro.
01:03:45As you know, Scott Flash Norton is a mercenary.
01:03:49He'll do anything for money.
01:03:51He'll beat up anybody for money.
01:03:53Probably one of the toughest, well, probably the ten toughest men ever in this sport.
01:03:58Take a lot of punishment, that man.
01:04:00Yeah, and just the type of athlete that Hollywood Logan likes.
01:04:04Oh, yeah.
01:04:05You know, a thug that'll protect him and back him up, that has the ability to run right through him.
01:04:10Now, the opponent, Scott Kutske, there's a second generation star,
01:04:17who's trying his best to get Scott Norton down.
01:04:20Great move, but look at Norton pop right back up.
01:04:23No effect with that neck breaker from Scott Kutske, and then Kutske walks right into a Norton power slam.
01:04:28He's just so powerful, like you say, Mike, and so awesome, the size of this man.
01:04:34Dusty Law, Scott Kutske, good move, but look at him come back up.
01:04:38And he just shrugged that drop kick off.
01:04:40Nothing.
01:04:41And Kutske's a stout man himself, guys.
01:04:44I need nobody out here.
01:04:45Well, like you said, second generation, tremendous physique, but this man Norton is just so awesome, so powerful.
01:04:52Look at the force and the intensity.
01:04:54And he wrestles with it, he picked him up with ease.
01:04:59One, two, three.
01:05:01He has destroyed Scott Kutske into a record track here.
01:05:05We're going down.
01:05:06My goodness.
01:05:14The man is almost unstoppable.
01:05:17He's constantly mean.
01:05:19Oh, he's got a chip on his shoulder.
01:05:20Look at the power of this man.
01:05:21Picks up Kutske, drives him to that match.
01:05:26Scott Norton is so powerful, so strong, and just so mean.
01:05:30Look at those eyes.
01:05:31Your winner, Scott Flash Norton, member of the Black and White, Dan W.
01:05:36Dismantles Scott Kutske, and yes, another thug, another man to help out a Hollywood Hogan.
01:05:45Will he be in war games?
01:05:47And what's the surprise from DDP?
01:05:49Come on back with us.
01:05:51Now you want to reunite the horsemen.
01:05:55Let me tell you something, you little sawed-off punk.
01:05:59You want to be a man?
01:06:02Thousand and one holds.
01:06:05Second generation wrestler.
01:06:08You think you got what it takes to be a horseman?
01:06:11I don't.
