00:00:00How do you want to reunite the Horseman?
00:00:04Let me tell you something, you little sawed-off punk.
00:00:07You want to be a man, a thousand and one holes, second generation wrestler.
00:00:16You think you got what it takes to be a Horseman?
00:00:19I don't.
00:00:22So much is happening so quickly here.
00:00:25I want to remind you very quickly, this week, of course, Thunder on a Thursday night.
00:00:288.05 on TBS.
00:00:31Thunder will come your way in two weeks on a Wednesday night, August 26th.
00:00:35From the City Center in Peoria, Illinois, tickets available, all usual locations.
00:00:39And then Thursday, September 10th, Thunder from the Rough Arena, Lexington, Kentucky, home of the Wildcats.
00:00:45Tickets available at the arena box office and all usual ticket locations for Thunder the next couple of weeks.
00:00:50And here they come.
00:00:52Again.
00:00:52I think they'd come out to enter the call from D.D.P.
00:00:59What a power.
00:01:00Maybe to have something to say about what Scott Norton just did.
00:01:04I tell you, if it's me, and I know how Hollywood thinks, kind of, I want Scott Norton beside me everywhere I go.
00:01:11Oh, the management show don't cheat on this guy.
00:01:13He's incredible.
00:01:16I wonder if Bischoff's going to respond to what Eddie Guerrero said.
00:01:20You never know what Bischoff's going to do.
00:01:22And what about the surprise from Diamond Dallas Bates?
00:01:24Haven't seen it yet.
00:01:26He hasn't let us down yet when it's come to a surprise.
00:01:28No, he hasn't.
00:01:29All right.
00:01:32Very interesting to see exactly what is said here.
00:01:36How they approach all that's gone down tonight.
00:01:42And as you said-
00:01:43Hey, hey, hey.
00:01:44Now, hold on.
00:01:44It's my brother down here.
00:01:46I already am the president.
00:01:48I love B.
00:01:56Well, I guess everybody realizes by now, NWO Hollywood don't play no more stinking games.
00:02:07You know, as far as J.J. Dillon coming out here, trying to put a wrinkle in our plans with war games.
00:02:14Well, brother, it would be an honor to get in the ring, take care of the red and black NWO, the WCW, all at one time.
00:02:25All of yesterday's garbage, like Kevin Nash and Diamond Dallas Page.
00:02:31But let me tell you something, boys.
00:02:35Hollywood's going to be your champion, whether you like it or not.
00:02:39I'm going to be the man that takes wrestling into the new millennium with the gold around my waist because it's mine.
00:02:46And Diamond Dallas Page, you beat up ugly-looking creep.
00:02:52Well, I guess I'm going to have to etch the lesson on your forehead, brother, because you don't make no stinking rules around here.
00:03:02You don't bring no opponents to the table, brother.
00:03:04Mr. Bischoff is the boss.
00:03:08He's the master.
00:03:10He signs all the documents.
00:03:12And Diamond Dallas Page, you couldn't get it done.
00:03:16You couldn't bring anybody, even if you had to, brother.
00:03:19And by the way, who is out there that Hollywood can't handle, brother?
00:03:24Who is out there that Hollywood can't put under his thumb?
00:03:29The god of wrestling or something?
00:03:31Well, sorry that you didn't recognize me without my sandals on, Paige.
00:03:36But I'm the man.
00:03:37I always will be.
00:03:39There's not a wrestler I can't beat to win my belt back.
00:03:44There's not a war that I can't win to get my belt back.
00:03:48And there's not a warrior in the world that I can't beat to get my belt back.
00:03:54Because I'd be.
00:03:56Uh-oh.
00:03:59We having a power surge here?
00:04:02Who knows?
00:04:05I don't like this.
00:04:07The target is scoped and locked for destruction.
00:04:23Take this target out.
00:04:32What is this?
00:04:33I don't know.
00:04:47It's the silhouette of a man that we see right now.
00:04:51But would you listen to the fans?
00:04:56And look at the face of him.
00:04:58His bottom lip is quivering.
00:05:01Oh, my goodness.
00:05:03Oh, yeah.
00:05:03The fans recognize him and so does Hogan.
00:05:06And so do we.
00:05:11In all my years, I never believed I would ever see this.
00:05:15I can't believe it.
00:05:22Unmistakable.
00:05:23It's the warrior.
00:05:25There's only one.
00:05:27And that's him.
00:05:29Talk to me, warriors.
00:05:37Look at Hogan.
00:05:38Feel the real power.
00:05:41Hogan.
00:05:42I thought you were dead.
00:05:55Who holds the absolute power now?
00:06:23Hollywood, Hulk Hogan.
00:06:25Yeah.
00:06:26And the least that raising voice,
00:06:31Wyatt.
00:07:03This is the last thing in the entire universe that Hogan ever expected.
00:07:16And you can see it, I never saw him shake before, but Hogan was shaking.
00:07:21Seems as if no formal introduction is gonna be necessary.
00:07:33Actually, it even seems as if there are those who anticipated my arrival.
00:07:42Well, they're glad he's here.
00:07:46Hogan, Hogan, I think Hogan is, I think he's scared to death.
00:07:53I think he wants to make amends.
00:07:55He's doing everything, look at this.
00:07:57He took off, he wants him to join him.
00:08:01There's the act of a coward right there.
00:08:07What is that smell?
00:08:08You might wanna use that to clean up the mess you just made all over yourself.
00:08:16You need to open your eyes and ears.
00:08:30Take control of the limited ability you have to understand the words I am about to say.
00:08:38For years, I have watched while this industry, with you as its figurehead,
00:08:53has tried to recreate what is simply unrecreatable.
00:09:00I have heard, listen to all the innuendos and speculation that something ultimate or warrior may soon reappear.
00:09:19Welcome to the reappear.
00:09:26Welcome to the reappearance.
00:09:35Those things, Hogan, which are irreplaceable, whether they be people's places or things, are never forgotten.
00:09:44You are witnessing that right now.
00:09:51Hogan is visibly shaken.
00:10:01He is speechless.
00:10:07Has no idea where to go, what to say, what to do next.
00:10:12And the fans here are into it.
00:10:15He's at a loss for words.
00:10:17Bischoff looks sick.
00:10:35History tells us, Hogan.
00:10:38Hogan.
00:10:47Let's talk about something he doesn't know.
00:10:53Let's talk about something he doesn't know.
00:11:03Bingo.
00:11:04History tells us, Hogan, that a man's legacy is built from the premise
00:11:10that within his life, the moments lived, once lived, become a piece of his history.
00:11:17Somehow, you have conveniently, even eloquently, misplaced pieces of your history.
00:11:33In the one-time epical battle between us, Hogan,
00:11:39you were the quintessential influence of what was good, great, and heroic.
00:11:47But different than you may remember,
00:11:55and albeit you may have beaten myths, legends, giants, and other great men.
00:12:04You never, never beat a warrior.
00:12:12He's right up in his face.
00:12:17Right in his soul is what he is.
00:12:21And certainly not the ultimate one.
00:12:28As the victor of that one-time battle, I defeated what was, until then, undefeatable.
00:12:46I conquered what was, until then, undefeatable.
00:12:53I conquered what was then, unconquerable.
00:13:01I dominated what was, until then, undefeatable.
00:13:13On that day, you were great.
00:13:16I was ultimate.
00:13:21.
00:13:37Let me introduce myself to those two fools that stand behind you.
00:13:48Let's see.
00:13:50This dude must be your barber.
00:13:55.
00:14:10And who are you, little man?
00:14:13.
00:14:16Who are you?
00:14:19Introduce yourself here.
00:14:20You know who I am.
00:14:22My name is Eric Bischoff, and I run this company, and who invited you?
00:14:26.
00:14:33Different than you want to make people believe.
00:14:36I never received an invitation.
00:14:38I showed up on my own accord.
00:14:40And let me tell you, Mr. Eric Bischoff, if you stick your nose in my business, you only very quickly prepare for your own demise.
00:14:53.
00:14:57Furthermore, when I get done with my business here, I'm going to be sending you a bill.
00:15:04I suggest you pay it.
00:15:05.
00:15:09.
00:15:12I have waited patiently.
00:15:15The Warriors have waited all too patiently.
00:15:22.
00:15:27.
00:15:32Now, now, the virtue of justice,
00:15:38unties my hands so that I can continue to fulfill a destiny set in motion upon that memorable day years ago.
00:15:51.
00:15:52A destiny at the next level.
00:15:55.
00:15:56A destiny beckoning the next superhero.
00:16:01.
00:16:08.
00:16:12There really is no sadder sight than when a grown man fears the challenges in his life so much that he rationalizes adolescent behavior to the point where he carries out heinous and self-indulgent actions.
00:16:37.
00:16:38.
00:16:39.
00:16:40.
00:16:41.
00:16:42.
00:16:43.
00:16:44.
00:16:45.
00:16:46.
00:16:47.
00:16:48.
00:16:52.
00:16:53.
00:16:54.
00:16:55.
00:17:17.
00:17:26.
00:17:27.
00:17:28.
00:17:29.
00:17:30.
00:17:31.
00:17:41.
00:17:42.
00:17:43.
00:17:44.
00:17:45.
00:17:46.
00:17:58.
00:17:59.
00:18:00.
00:18:01.
00:18:14.
00:18:15.
00:18:16.
00:18:17.
00:18:18.
00:18:19.
00:18:20.
00:18:21.
00:18:22.
00:18:23.
00:18:24.
00:18:25.
00:18:26.
00:18:27.
00:18:28.
00:18:29.
00:18:30.
00:18:31.
00:18:32.
00:18:33.
00:18:34.
00:18:35.
00:18:36He has vanished, ladies and gentlemen.
00:19:06In one of the most mind-boggling and incredible displays that we've ever witnessed on
00:19:11this program, the warrior has literally vaporized before our eyes.
00:19:18I've never seen anything like this in my life.
00:19:22There's never been anything like this in our sport.
00:19:25Look at the sign.
00:19:27Don't you dare touch that dial.
00:19:36Fans, we welcome you back, and moments ago, this was the ending to what I consider a defining
00:19:45moment in the history of professional wrestling.
00:19:51The warrior came out, and in a flurry, literally evaporated.
00:20:00And with it, I'm sure he grabbed some of the soul of Hollywood.
00:20:07It was the last thing that we expected, obviously the last thing Hollywood Hogan expected.
00:20:14Well, you heard what he said.
00:20:16He said, I thought you were dead.
00:20:18He never expected to see the warrior in the ring, let alone in the building, let alone
00:20:23look at him eye to eye.
00:20:24The man's.
00:20:25Diamond Dallas came out, and he said he had a shocker for Hollywood Hogan.
00:20:29And I can only assume that was the shocker.
00:20:32He got me.
00:20:34Yeah, DDP told us that he had a plan to mess with the man, and he didn't let us down, did
00:20:40he?
00:20:41There was a lot of messes going on out there, many of which came on behalf of Hollywood
00:20:47Hogan.
00:20:48But yes, if that is the man he's talking about, and we can only put two and two together and
00:20:52that is it.
00:20:54Then it seems as if WCW has yet another team member for War Games.
00:21:01Is it gonna be something?
00:21:03Hogan, sell your trunks and get some Depends.
00:21:06And take a deep breath.
00:21:07What a night.
00:21:08We got more to come.
00:21:11Monday, August 17th, 1998 will go down as one of the most memorable nights in the
00:21:16history of professional wrestling.
00:21:18Because it was on this night, a mere moments ago, that the Warrior came out of literally
00:21:25nowhere.
00:21:26Walk out of the past of Hollywood Hogan.
00:21:30Walked into the ring, confronted Hogan.
00:21:35And then vanished into thin air.
00:21:42And I'm sure Hogan, I'm sure the entire NWO black and white quivering right now,
00:21:47wondering if this was a figment of their imagination or if it really happened.
00:21:52And I can tell you, it really happened.
00:21:54The Warrior has arrived and mentioned that next week begins the revolution.
00:22:01And you can dub this one, NWO Hollywood Under Siege.
00:22:07That was no fantasy, Tony.
00:22:10That was reality.
00:22:11Oh, great.
00:22:12Hogan was at a loss for words.
00:22:14He was quivering.
00:22:15His jaw dropped wide open.
00:22:17Bishop, you can see his knees through his pants there shaking.
00:22:20I've never seen anything like that.
00:22:22What an entrance and what a departure wherever he went.
00:22:26Startling of what it was.
00:22:28Once again, we're putting two and two together here.
00:22:31And thinking about War Games, thinking about the WCW team on the 13th of September.
00:22:40Warrior teaming with DDP to be a part of Team WCW.
00:22:45Against the two NWO factions.
00:22:47First time ever that the War Games event is going to have three separate teams.
00:22:52With one man left standing and that one man will go on to face Goldberg for
00:22:56the world title the following month at Halloween Havoc in Las Vegas.
00:23:00Well, here we go.
00:23:02This is a return bout from WCW Saturday night with Kurt Hennig of NWO.
00:23:07Hollywood and Dean Malenko as Kurt Hennig goes out and stalls.
00:23:12We're gonna take our next commercial break and have the match in its entirety
00:23:16right after this time out.
00:23:17Stay with us.
00:23:22Hennig's still on the outside and, well, we're back live.
00:23:26And Dean Malenko's had enough.
00:23:29You know, we've talked a lot about fall brawl and about War Games.
00:23:33Remember, it was almost a year ago when Hennig and his big charade
00:23:37dismantled the Horsemen as all part of what happened at War Games.
00:23:42Just more proof that Kurt Hennig and Rick Root are absolute mercenaries.
00:23:45At that point in time, they were members of the Four Horsemen.
00:23:48From there, they went to the NWO Wolfpack, now part of NWO Hollywood,
00:23:52the black and white.
00:23:54Woof!
00:23:56Malenko wanted to get in there, and Hennig's gonna oblige here.
00:23:59He's taking the man apart on the outside.
00:24:01Well, fans, take a breath here.
00:24:04I know you're stunned or you're shocked.
00:24:09None as much as Hollywood Hogan.
00:24:12And I wonder, I just wonder what the talk is in the NWO Hollywood locker room area right now.
00:24:19If there's any talk at all.
00:24:21They may all be sitting around in a circle looking down at the floor.
00:24:24Nice.
00:24:25Either that or they're trying to talk Hogan down off the roof.
00:24:29Well, I'm sure they're momentarily stunned, but you know the NWO black and white,
00:24:34not gonna take long for them to get a game plan.
00:24:36Cover by Malenko, two, only two.
00:24:38What could have been going on in Hogan's mind when he saw the Warrior appear?
00:24:43That had to be the biggest shock in that man's life.
00:24:47And then thinking about next week here on Nitro,
00:24:49when the Warrior promises that he's going to launch a revolution.
00:24:53Damn!
00:24:58It'll be no average revolution, I'll guarantee you that.
00:25:03A revolution would be mild compared to what that man is capable of doing.
00:25:07You know, I tell you, my apologies to Malenko and to Kurt Hennigan.
00:25:11We need to do justice to this match.
00:25:13These are two of the top caliber athletes in WCW,
00:25:16but it's really hard to even focus and concentrate on anything else that's gone down here.
00:25:20And this place is abuzz.
00:25:21Everyone's talking to each other.
00:25:23Jam-packed here in Hartford, and they're talking about the man, the Warrior.
00:25:31Of course, Warrior promised that he was going to unleash the absolute power as we see Rick Rude interfere from outside the ring.
00:25:38This is a return bout from Saturday night, as you mentioned, Tony, when Dean Malenko had that Texas cloverleaf applied on Kurt Hennig before Rick Rude interfered.
00:25:48Oh!
00:25:50Spinning!
00:25:51The force of all of that on the neck of Dean Malenko.
00:25:55This has been a night for the ages.
00:26:01This has been a night to remember.
00:26:03This is what this has been.
00:26:06Back body drop up here in Connecticut.
00:26:09We've seen things that have been literally unbelievable.
00:26:15And we all have talked about the excitement of fall brawl as we're heading to war games.
00:26:23Nothing like, it's been turned up right now, fans.
00:26:28Oh.
00:26:29All right.
00:26:31Tony, and we still have Bret Hart against Diamond Dallas Page for the US title, as well as the Giant and Goldberg for the world's heavyweight title yet to come tonight.
00:26:41And what did Hogan say?
00:26:43Hogan said that they were going to have plenty of backup in terms of the Giant.
00:26:46Yeah.
00:26:47They were going to cover his back.
00:26:48But that's before Hogan saw the Warrior.
00:26:50Now what's going through their minds in there?
00:26:51They may lock themselves in the locker room, in their own locker room, have the Giant come out against Goldberg by himself.
00:26:56Regardless of what happens, it's going to be very interesting to see the reaction of NWO Hollywood and what happens with Goldberg and the Giant.
00:27:04Here's a cover one, two, for the world title later on.
00:27:08One thing, though, of all the weird things and unpredictable events that have occurred tonight, one thing you can be sure of.
00:27:15Foot to the face here by Hennig.
00:27:17And Hennig rocks the back of the neck.
00:27:21One thing you can be sure of.
00:27:23Oh, midsection.
00:27:24He's gonna get Hennig here.
00:27:26Yes.
00:27:27Is that our main event is live and will go longer than the 10-second main event you would see if you watch their tape program later here tonight.
00:27:44Belly to back.
00:27:48Malenko's gonna go for it again here.
00:27:53The man from Minnesota's going to Texas.
00:27:55Putting on that Texas clover, leaving a smart move by Hennig to get to the ropes.
00:27:59And look at that. Rick Rude back up on the ring apron.
00:28:01Boy, Rude's a master. He knows exactly what to do and when to do it.
00:28:08First blow down. Oh, my goodness! On the neck to Rude!
00:28:12Double axe handle. Staggered Malenko as Hennig checks with his longtime close friend Rude.
00:28:20Oh! Rude got the knee!
00:28:21Did you notice how Kurt signaled Rude?
00:28:24Eye contact.
00:28:25Yeah. And they're working as a team.
00:28:26They've worked as a team their whole lives.
00:28:28And Rick Rude from the apron!
00:28:43And the Hennigplex! This one's over!
00:28:46He's got him!
00:28:48It took two men!
00:28:50It took NWO Hollywood!
00:28:54It took the team!
00:28:55It took the unit!
00:28:56In the face of the incredible appearance by the Warriors,
00:29:01to rebound and defeat Dean Malenko.
00:29:05Still to come tonight live, Goldberg defends against the Giant, all on TNT.
00:29:11It's the third hour!
00:29:16I knew that!
00:29:18You're not kidding!
00:29:19And how can you top what we've done already?
00:29:24Stay tuned!
00:29:25Yeah, just stick around!
00:29:26Because we've got the two biggest titles in the world!
00:29:33Still up for grabs!
00:29:34The US Heavyweight title!
00:29:36Diamond Dallas and the champion, the Hitchman Hart!
00:29:40And the Goldberg!
00:29:42And the Giant for the world title!
00:29:44All here tonight, live!
00:29:47Man!
00:29:53And in the face of the startling, shocking appearance of the Warrior!
00:30:01NWO Hollywood has the courage, this black and white unit has the courage to come out again!
00:30:11Let's see which members are coming out!
00:30:13Who's granting?
00:30:20Never trust a guy who looks like that with a rubber glove!
00:30:27My God!
00:30:30This is unbelievable!
00:30:33It's amazing how this injury to Big Papa Pup has moved around his body.
00:30:42I think the biggest injury is between the ears.
00:30:45It's a miracle of modern medical science, isn't it?
00:30:47Yes, it is.
00:30:49And obviously, we've got one of New England's finest surgeons out with him as well.
00:30:54Cut the music!
00:30:57To give us the low death.
00:31:02Sit down and shut up!
00:31:11You know, Buff, as I look out on his crown, I see a lot of sad faces.
00:31:18Because he can see that Big Papa Pup is hurt.
00:31:23But also, when I look out in that crowd, I see a bunch of idiots.
00:31:35Because they don't understand why I'm taped from my elbow to my knee.
00:31:43Tell him why you're taped like that.
00:31:48I see Buff, two weeks ago, in an unprovoked attack, my brother hit me in the elbow.
00:31:58And everybody knows that your elbow bone is connected to your shoulder bone,
00:32:05which is connected to your neck bone, which is connected to your hip bone.
00:32:10It's why my knee hurts.
00:32:12But see, you don't have to believe me.
00:32:19That's why I brought my doctor.
00:32:22Dr. Cecil Schwartz.
00:32:26This injury is serious, isn't it?
00:32:28Right on.
00:32:31You heard it from the greatest doctor in the United States.
00:32:34And as good as I look, matter of fact, there's nobody that looks as good as I do.
00:32:46I could beat my brother with a half a body.
00:32:51But I will not and I cannot go against my doctor's orders.
00:32:57Exactly.
00:32:58And not only that, Scotty, I want you to show the people out here,
00:33:03and I want you to try real hard, okay?
00:33:05I want you for me and the people to hold your arm up when I let it go.
00:33:09Come on now, you ready?
00:33:11Hold it up.
00:33:12See what I'm saying?
00:33:14Do you see what I'm saying?
00:33:16If you don't sit down and shut up, fat boy.
00:33:19Look, here's the whole point.
00:33:24Dr. Cecil Schwartz, the greatest doctor in the United States of America.
00:33:28Everybody's got him trying to be ready by September 13th at Fall Brawl.
00:33:34Now, you know, like we know, since you're the greatest doctor in the world,
00:33:38that there's absolutely no way to determine whether or not Papa Pup is going to be ready
00:33:44September the 13th, am I right?
00:33:47Of this year?
00:33:49Yeah, this year, Doc.
00:33:51Right on.
00:33:54See, that's what I'm saying.
00:33:57You just don't know about the human body.
00:33:59Who, who, who, who, who?
00:34:01This match is not gonna happen.
00:34:03Somebody's a bargain.
00:34:05Wait a second.
00:34:06Wait a second.
00:34:08Get out of here.
00:34:09You know, Scotty, I'm so sick of you and your girlfriend talking trash out here.
00:34:21I got one.
00:34:22I'm going back to Detroit.
00:34:24I'm getting ready for this match on the 13th.
00:34:27And if you do, you can show up in a neck brace, a wheelchair, a gurney, whatever you can find.
00:34:34Because when you show up and fall, bro, I'm gonna beat the hell out of you.
00:34:39Hey, you wanna do this right now, Chuck?
00:34:44Come here.
00:34:45Who, who, who, who?
00:34:46No, no, no, no.
00:34:47I fall, bro.
00:34:48I'm gonna show you who's the better Steiner brother.
00:34:51Come on.
00:34:52Come on.
00:34:53And it's me.
00:34:54I'm the best, most, most Steiner brother.
00:34:59I made the Steiner brothers famous.
00:35:01Ricky, you're gonna feel the power of me.
00:35:04Yeah, and you've torn him apart as well.
00:35:06Ladies and gentlemen, it's on.
00:35:09September 13th, finally.
00:35:11Rick Steiner gets his hand hopefully around the neck of Scott Big Papa Punk.
00:35:16A doctor of what?
00:35:22The Nitro girls are back out.
00:35:24Don't forget for our fans at Winston-Salem, tickets for Frawl Brawl,
00:35:27now available at the LJV and Coliseum.
00:35:30Box office and all Ticketmaster locations.
00:35:33Monday or Sunday night, September 13th is the date.
00:35:37We'll also let you know that you can bring the excitement of WCW and EW Wrestling home
00:35:41with our brand new Bashing Brawlers.
00:35:43You've seen some of these life-like 21-inch soft body wrestlers at ringside.
00:35:47They're equipped with exclusive breakthrough power sense technology.
00:35:50Eight sensor zones allow the wrestlers to verbally react to the play action
00:35:54with appropriate comments recorded by the real wrestlers.
00:35:57Beginning from Hollywood, Hogan, Sting, Macho Man, and many others.
00:36:01Vance Mug Root Beer presents our Nitro Party.
00:36:04The Nitro Party takes the one CNN Center, P.O. Box 60, Atlanta.
00:36:083-0-3-0-3, Mug Root Beer.
00:36:11The foam goes straight to your brain with our Nitro Party.
00:36:14Send your Nitro video tapes in.
00:36:16We have some great fans from the JCs down in Louisiana.
00:36:19New Iberia, Louisiana.
00:36:21Send their winning party tape in.
00:36:23Just to continue for a minute with the Bashing Brawlers,
00:36:25because we've got so much to attend to here.
00:36:27Those Bashing Brawlers are in Hollywood, Hogan, Sting, Macho Man, and DDP.
00:36:32Available at Toys R Us, Kmart, Wal-Mart, KB Toys, and Target.
00:36:37And I'm sure we're going to be seeing a lot more of them during the course of the night.
00:36:49That, by the way, that horse is not a Bashing Brawler.
00:36:53That's Pepe.
00:36:55Who was, uh, I guess been all taped up, ready to ride now, huh?
00:37:00Would someone else say something here besides me?
00:37:02Happy trails to you.
00:37:03Thank you very much.
00:37:09Time for a triangle match.
00:37:14Hey, there's Pepe's dad.
00:37:17And I don't mean Jericho.
00:37:19We saw Chavo Jr. come out.
00:37:26Jericho and Stevie Ray.
00:37:28Now, here's the lowdown.
00:37:30And we talked about it this past Thursday.
00:37:34Fargo, North Dakota on...
00:37:37Ron Thunder.
00:37:38Jericho is a TV champion.
00:37:39It's now official.
00:37:40Official.
00:37:41Well, I can understand.
00:37:43That 30-day clause, remember, with Booker T,
00:37:45did not defend the title within 30 days.
00:37:47He's got the belt.
00:37:49Supposed to have been Chavo Jr.
00:37:52And Stevie Ray with the TV belt.
00:37:54Chavo Jr. attacked before he went to the ring by...
00:37:57Chris Jericho, which set up Chris Jericho against Stevie Ray,
00:38:01which I guess in the eyes of the WCW Executive Committee
00:38:04would almost have to be treated as, well, like a number one contenders match.
00:38:07Thanks for talking, Mike.
00:38:08You're exactly right.
00:38:10So, Jericho moves in.
00:38:13Jericho wins the World Television belt.
00:38:16He's the champ, and now we've got a triangle match.
00:38:20And they just said what I was going to say.
00:38:22What can I do now?
00:38:26I'll go get the car.
00:38:27We want you to talk, we'll point to you, okay?
00:38:33This will be interesting.
00:38:36Stevie Ray, Chavo Jr., Chris Jericho, three key figures.
00:38:42What's gone down with the World Television belt,
00:38:44it's very obvious that both of them want to beat some Jericho
00:38:47early in this matchup here.
00:38:49Can't blame him for that.
00:38:51The World's TV title at stake in this triangle match?
00:38:53Yes, it is.
00:38:58Looks like two against one here.
00:39:00So the man who gets the pin, who gets one to submit,
00:39:03will walk away the Television Championship.
00:39:06And the loser gets peppy.
00:39:10You have a fight on these hands.
00:39:14There's a lot of bickering going on.
00:39:17More bickering than wrestling here.
00:39:19Whoa, boy.
00:39:23Jericho.
00:39:24See that?
00:39:25Jericho's just throwing him to the wolves.
00:39:27Yeah.
00:39:28Chavo got wiped out.
00:39:30Why would Chavo side with Jericho in the first place?
00:39:32He's nuts.
00:39:34That's a good point.
00:39:36Stevie Ray.
00:39:38About to be airborne.
00:39:40Look at that!
00:39:41Chavo down on Jericho.
00:39:44We are still reeling and, you know, during every commercial break,
00:39:47we've kind of taken our headsets off, talked amongst each other.
00:39:51No one on our staff can believe what we have seen tonight from the Warriors.
00:39:56And, hey, it's for real. He's here.
00:40:00And it seems like this was just chapter one.
00:40:03He talked about launching the revolution starting next week on Nitro.
00:40:06Four!
00:40:07And we can only assume that he is that shocker, that surprise that DDP said.
00:40:11It will be a part of War Games on the 13th of September.
00:40:14One, two, we got a two count, and almost got a three.
00:40:16We can get them together.
00:40:18Take it out!
00:40:19Take it out!
00:40:20Why would anyone side with Jericho on anything, believe anything?
00:40:23Yeah.
00:40:24Now Stevie Ray, he should just lay back, let those two go at it, and just pick up what's left.
00:40:34That's what he's doing.
00:40:39Into the corner.
00:40:41Nailed him.
00:40:43Right cross.
00:40:44The cover.
00:40:51Boy, I tell ya, you can see what has transpired between these three men.
00:40:57Fans, if you were listening moments ago when we told the story of this match, you know it yourself.
00:41:06Look at that, Jericho in for the save, pulls him off, goes right back to the pin.
00:41:09Now, wait a second.
00:41:13Who would have got the pin that time?
00:41:15Would it have been the man on top of the man with the shoulder spread?
00:41:18They both go down.
00:41:19Doesn't matter now.
00:41:20No, it doesn't.
00:41:21Well, but Jericho has to be concerned because what if Stevie Ray beat Chavo, or Chavo beat Stevie Ray,
00:41:26they would win the world's TV title.
00:41:31One of those matches like we've seen in Triangle Matches before where the champion could not even
00:41:36get involved in the pin and lose his belt tonight.
00:41:39The winner will be the champion.
00:41:44Both going off the top.
00:41:50Double missile drop kick.
00:41:52A little bit of teamwork.
00:41:53Chavo quick.
00:41:54First man up to try to make it.
00:41:56One, two, and Jericho ended all of that.
00:42:01Well, very smart on Jericho's part.
00:42:03He doesn't wanna lose the world's TV title that way.
00:42:08Being hammered by Stevie Ray.
00:42:09First from behind.
00:42:10And now, it's blatant choke hold.
00:42:13Jericho screamed at the referee to break the choke hold.
00:42:17I think he was just screaming.
00:42:19Good leap brought down.
00:42:21Oh.
00:42:22Referee went down hard.
00:42:24Referee in the wrong place at the wrong time.
00:42:28And Jericho, what was that?
00:42:31Well, if it's anything like that object that he took out on Saturday night,
00:42:35he has a blackjack, and he just KO'd Jericho with it.
00:42:39That's what he's got.
00:42:40And a sleeper Hulk.
00:42:42Uh-oh.
00:42:43The Giant has come out.
00:42:46Remember, it was the Giant who chokeslanned Stevie Ray
00:42:50that gave Jericho the belt on Thunder.
00:42:53Gonna do it again.
00:42:54Whoa!
00:42:56What power!
00:42:59What a display of strength by the Giant.
00:43:02The chokeslam on Stevie Ray.
00:43:04Bodies everywhere.
00:43:06Now, whoever can cover Stevie Ray is gonna be the television champion on the thing.
00:43:15Listen to him, Chad Goldberg.
00:43:17That's to come tonight, live on this program.
00:43:20But right now, bodies are down, and Mickie J's doing it.
00:43:23Mickie J's putting an account.
00:43:25If he can get the numbers straight, he got Waffle pretty good there.
00:43:28Up to five now.
00:43:30Who's gonna be the first man to get to their feet?
00:43:33It looks like it's gonna be Chavo.
00:43:36Chavo's up.
00:43:37It was Chavo.
00:43:39Jericho pulled down Mickie J.
00:43:41And Chavo hit, Chavo was up.
00:43:44And he's over it, he's out.
00:43:46Chavo staggered up to his feet but then fell out of the ring.
00:43:49Seven.
00:43:51Stevie Ray hasn't moved.
00:43:52Eight.
00:43:53And Jericho's up.
00:43:55Up to nine.
00:43:56Can ring the bell is what Mickie J says.
00:43:59And he's gonna raise the hand of Jericho.
00:44:02It was Chavo that got to his feet.
00:44:04Now the king of all loophole strikes again.
00:44:14What a cowardly way to pull out the win.
00:44:18Chavo Jr. was to his feet.
00:44:21And Jericho Hewitt, he pulls Mickie J down on top of it.
00:44:24He's a brain, Bobby, whatever you are.
00:44:27I wasn't in the match.
00:44:29Look here.
00:44:30Stevie Ray pulled something out of his pipe there.
00:44:32He's got like a black sap here.
00:44:35Boom.
00:44:36Right between the eyes.
00:44:37Jericho's not going anyway.
00:44:39From out of nowhere, the giant king comes into the ring.
00:44:42Fits Stevie Ray up with one hand.
00:44:44Look at the power of this man.
00:44:46And drives him into that man.
00:44:48Referee Mickie J, he's down.
00:44:50He don't know what's going on.
00:44:51Chavo did make it to his feet.
00:44:53Roll out of the ring.
00:44:54But Jericho pulled the referee on.
00:44:56The referee couldn't see.
00:44:58As he turned around, there's no Chavo.
00:45:00Stevie Ray's up.
00:45:01Jericho's on his feet.
00:45:02He can only do what he has to do.
00:45:04And as the award of the match, the winner is Chris Jericho.
00:45:09Vince, tomorrow night 8 o'clock TNT presents Masters of the Martial Arts,
00:45:13presented by Wesley Snipes.
00:45:15It's called on TNT here tomorrow night.
00:45:18Stay with us.
00:45:20Earlier tonight, we all witnessed the arrival.
00:45:27And then the spectacular departure as the warrior evaporated, disappeared.
00:45:37Vanished.
00:45:39It was a moment that pro wrestling fans will never forget,
00:45:43much less the men in the ring eye to eye with him, Hollywood Hogan,
00:45:46and members of NW Hollywood.
00:45:48Where'd he go?
00:45:49I don't know, but isn't it great to see someone one-up Hollywood Hogan
00:45:53with those mind games, that disappearing, that vanishing act
00:45:56right before his very eyes?
00:45:58Well, that man the warrior will play some mind games with you, believe me,
00:46:01and he'll come out on top.
00:46:02Fans, the winner of Ball Brawl, and we're right now putting two and two together
00:46:08that the warrior has entered his name into Beyonce WCW.
00:46:12The winner will face Goldberg and Halloween Havoc for the world title.
00:46:16Halloween Havoc is Sunday, October 25th at the MGM Grand.
00:46:20Tickets available to box office and all usual ticket outlets.
00:46:23This coming Friday, tickets are on sale for Monday, September 21st.
00:46:27We're back in New England at the Fleet Center in Boston for Monday Nitro.
00:46:32Tickets available this Friday, August 21st to box office in all ticket matches locations.
00:46:37But you can meet the man you're sitting in the ring.
00:46:40Bret the Hitman Hart, Bobby Heenan, and Miss Elizabeth at Tower Records in Burlington
00:46:45that Friday, this coming Friday from 2 to 4 p.m.
00:46:48And Bret Hart makes his way in, ladies and gentlemen, coming up next.
00:46:54DDP, Diamond Dallas Page is live.
00:46:58Great wrestling continues only on Nitro.
00:47:01Still to come tonight, Goldberg and the Giants for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:47:16Yikes!
00:47:20And what a matchup this promises to be as Diamond Dallas Page makes the rounds here at the Civic Center in Hartford, Connecticut
00:47:28on his way to the ring to challenge Bret Hart for the United States Heavyweight title.
00:47:32Bret Hart coming off two very grueling matches with Lex Luger in the course of the past week.
00:47:38He lost the United States Heavyweight title to Luger one week ago tonight, then regained the belt back on Thunder.
00:47:45But this is a return match from, what, a little over a month ago in Salt Lake City, Utah.
00:47:50The WCW Executive Committee decided at that time that the two top contenders would fight for the U.S. title.
00:47:56Bret Hart, Diamond Dallas Page, and the NWO black and white attack brutally.
00:48:03Diamond Dallas Page before the matchup.
00:48:06That allowed Bret Hart to beat a man that was merely a shell of himself that evening in Salt Lake City.
00:48:11Bret Hart as a result won the United States Heavyweight title over DDP.
00:48:15This is the return battle.
00:48:18And Diamond Dallas Page wasting no time.
00:48:23Can you imagine putting Page and the Warrior on the same team?
00:48:28Oh, I like it.
00:48:29What a WC.
00:48:30And who else?
00:48:31Who's gonna be the third man?
00:48:32It's not gonna be Goldberg.
00:48:34I mean, he's the man laying in wait.
00:48:36Right now, Bell, the only thing Page is thinking about is winning the United States Championship here.
00:48:42Belly to Belly at Hart.
00:48:44Well, you're right.
00:48:45He's thinking about winning here, because he went after him as soon as that bell rang.
00:48:48From the start, it's been all Diamond Dallas Page here.
00:48:50Tries to go for the Diamond Cutter, but didn't make it.
00:48:53Bret Hart too smart, rolled out of the ring.
00:48:57But he shouldn't have turned his back.
00:49:06On the outside.
00:49:08You can see why DDP is angry from the story that you just told, Mike Tenet.
00:49:14Oh, it's penalty time here in Hartford.
00:49:18This has been all Diamond Dallas.
00:49:23But get him in that ring.
00:49:24That's where you have to beat him, Diamond Dallas.
00:49:33Rolls him in below, DDP Gilly Chase.
00:49:36This is what it's all about.
00:49:38On a Nitro line, vying for a major championship.
00:49:43Already the intros of this match were longer than their entire main event match.
00:49:51A very cocky, very confident Bret Hart though,
00:50:00now being bludgeoned by DDP.
00:50:03Up, down, great vertical suplex.
00:50:07Page making a cover.
00:50:09We know the Diamond Cutter is his forte,
00:50:14but Page showing us that he'll try to win the match ball anyway at all.
00:50:19And that may be a long way away now from that low blow.
00:50:23Huh, what a great counter move to that low blow.
00:50:26Follow up move, I should say, from that low blow by Bret Hart.
00:50:29And did you see the whiplash effect when Diamond Dallas Page's head
00:50:32made contact with that top turnbuckle just snapped back?
00:50:36Well, that's why they call this man the excellence of execution.
00:50:41He's been there before, he knows what to do.
00:50:43Ah!
00:50:44Ah!
00:50:45Ah!
00:50:46Ah!
00:50:50Ruff!
00:50:51Oh!
00:50:52Get off the roof!
00:50:53Break it, Ruff!
00:50:54One!
00:50:55Three!
00:50:56Takes every bit of that five count all the way to four and a half.
00:51:00Doing a good job, ref.
00:51:02Yeah, right.
00:51:03Amazing.
00:51:06Page had hit Bret Hart with a variety of maneuvers and holds,
00:51:12everything legit, everything by the book.
00:51:15And then Bret Hart takes the advantage this way.
00:51:19Well, to each his own, but I think we have really unwrapped Bret Hart here in WCW,
00:51:26showing what type of man he really is.
00:51:28Yeah, we know what he's all about.
00:51:30The manipulator, the master manipulator, Bret the Hitman Hart.
00:51:37Well, he's in control right now.
00:51:41You notice early on in this match, Diamond Dallas went for that diamond cutter real early.
00:51:45Bret got out of that ring quick.
00:51:48He had to.
00:51:49Inside Crater.
00:52:02And he almost beat him with it.
00:52:04Almost.
00:52:05Wow, what a great recovery by Diamond Dallas Page.
00:52:07That showed you the tenacity of DDP, the never say die attitude that he brings to the ring.
00:52:17The fans draw to, but the fans love.
00:52:21Hart picks him up, rushing leg sweep time.
00:52:23Got him down.
00:52:24How would you like to see an x-ray of his body?
00:52:26One, two, one.
00:52:28Oh, we got a two.
00:52:29And now Bret Hart getting a little bit sideways, a little bit upset, a little bit unglued, if you will.
00:52:35Well, you'll notice that about Bret Hart.
00:52:38He's a skilled technician in that ring, but when he can't get the one, two, three in a man after a couple tries, that's his fault.
00:52:45That's the biggest fault he has.
00:52:46He loses his attention.
00:52:48In other words, when things aren't going his way, you'll see that level of frustration rise up as we just did.
00:52:53Well, that's what you just said.
00:52:59Backbreaker.
00:53:00Bret Hart won't give up, though.
00:53:01That man, Diamond Dallas, will not give up.
00:53:03He's too dumb.
00:53:04Yep.
00:53:05Oh, brain, it's not that.
00:53:06One, two.
00:53:10You think giving up while you're vying for a major title is smart?
00:53:14Oh, but the beating this man has taken, he won't take time off.
00:53:17He throws out challenges.
00:53:18He'll accept any kind of a match.
00:53:20He'll fight you all night long.
00:53:21I mean, he's gotta rest himself.
00:53:23Eventually, he's gonna have to rest himself.
00:53:25Don't compare Paige to yourself.
00:53:28He's a man's man, and you, you're-
00:53:31The brain.
00:53:32Nothing else.
00:53:33Notice the DDP doesn't have the ribs taped tonight.
00:53:36Nope.
00:53:37Bring it up.
00:53:38In the morning.
00:53:40And other things.
00:53:42Look how Bret Hart is stretching the ring.
00:53:45Going to the five count.
00:53:46And not only that, a little disqualification here, why not, right?
00:53:50The idea for Bret Hart, as he said so vividly earlier in this program,
00:53:58was to beat him down.
00:54:00Look at him pull himself up.
00:54:02There's still a lot of fight left in Diamond Dallas.
00:54:12How much, though, is the burning question here?
00:54:15Hart, as we've talked about many times in all of our programs,
00:54:19just draws from the hatred of the fans, it seems.
00:54:22He wants them to boost.
00:54:23Bret Hart, Bret Hart!
00:54:24Bret Hart, Bret Hart!
00:54:25He really adds them on.
00:54:26He just loves for them to get on him.
00:54:27It seems that he gets stronger,
00:54:28the more harsher or the harsher the fans are.
00:54:31He has no respect at all for the other wrestlers,
00:54:34and especially for the fans, Tony, as you mentioned.
00:54:36Never has.
00:54:39Paige barely can stand, so...
00:54:41Fighting to get up, though. Look at that.
00:54:43Look at that.
00:54:44Look at this.
00:54:45And Bret Hart's gonna just pull him up.
00:54:47By what remains of him here.
00:54:50Bret Hart picks him up.
00:54:52Oh, the Piledriver!
00:54:53Oh, did you see that neck bent sideways?
00:54:55That's gotta be it.
00:54:56One, two...
00:54:57There's your win.
00:54:58He kicked out!
00:54:59No, there's the frustration level in Bret Hart.
00:55:02Right there.
00:55:03It's more of the frustration.
00:55:04Right now, he's living.
00:55:05He's ticked off.
00:55:07I think he's also shocked that DDP was able to kick out after the Piledriver.
00:55:12I don't put nothing past DDP.
00:55:15Nothing surprises me he does.
00:55:17The referee checking in.
00:55:29Page not even giving an answer.
00:55:31I think his answer is the way he's pulling himself up.
00:55:34He pulled!
00:55:35And where did that come from?
00:55:37My God!
00:55:38He's gotta earn him.
00:55:40What an amazing burst of energy by DDP.
00:55:43Series of rights and lefts.
00:55:45And then unleashes one big knee to the midsection of Hart.
00:55:48Now grab him, Dallas, and put that diamond cutter on him.
00:55:50Right now, you got him in the middle.
00:55:52The ability to shut out the pain.
00:55:54The ability to have a surge of energy to take him back.
00:55:59From the depths, it's all in the makeup of Diamond, Dallas, Page.
00:56:05And here he goes.
00:56:07Look at this leap up on the top!
00:56:09Oh!
00:56:10Catquick agility to the top and the clothesline.
00:56:12He hooks a far leg lateral press for only a two!
00:56:15No!
00:56:16Red Heart's taking his time to get up now, too.
00:56:21Up!
00:56:25Oh!
00:56:26He pancaked him!
00:56:28A lot of times that's set up for the diamond cutter.
00:56:31One, two!
00:56:34No!
00:56:35Diamond cut him right now.
00:56:38All right, coach.
00:56:41Well, don't be jawing with the referee.
00:56:43That won't do you any good.
00:56:44Well, no, I agree with that, but...
00:56:45If anybody knows when the diamond cutter him, it's DDP, the master.
00:56:51Uh-oh!
00:56:52He's getting some out of his tights.
00:56:57An illegal object that we've seen so many times as the referee inadvertently smash in the corner.
00:57:06Oh!
00:57:07Just nailed Page with it right between the eyes.
00:57:10That's it.
00:57:12Page not gonna get up.
00:57:14Did he just put that in Page's trunks?
00:57:17He just pulled Page over on top of himself.
00:57:20That's what he...
00:57:21This is unbelievable.
00:57:22One, two...
00:57:23Oh, this is bizarre.
00:57:24And he kicked out.
00:57:25You're right, he did put it in Page's trunks.
00:57:33Can you believe that?
00:57:37The man could have won the match, apparently.
00:57:40I'm baffled.
00:57:42But has decided not to.
00:57:44Wants to win it another way.
00:57:46Sharpshooter.
00:57:50I think Page can get out of this one.
00:57:54No!
00:57:57Why was that needed?
00:57:58He was one turn away from the sharpshooter.
00:58:01And now...
00:58:02Now he's got him hooked.
00:58:04There he is.
00:58:05Will he give up?
00:58:07No, he won't.
00:58:08He's gonna make it to the bottom rope.
00:58:10He's got to make it to the bottom rope.
00:58:12He's just inches away, and there's still fight left in the ADP.
00:58:15Dang, dang, dang, reach!
00:58:17Yes!
00:58:18Cole, he made it.
00:58:22Another burst of character, of determination.
00:58:26And he just won't break the hold.
00:58:28More fighting that man than I've ever seen in any man.
00:58:31That's incredible.
00:58:32It's nothing less than spectacular.
00:58:35We draped so many accolades on these athletes, deservedly so.
00:58:41But a lot of times, there's not enough you can say about the determination of one Diamond Dallas Page.
00:58:47He's a man's man, a gutsy fighter like never before.
00:58:51It's a thing champions are made of.
00:58:53It's not above him to do something illegal also.
00:58:56Diamond Cutter!
00:58:57Got him!
00:58:58But does he have enough to cover him?
00:59:03That's the question here.
00:59:05But he's very close to the ropes as Glenn White.
00:59:07Roll over, roll over.
00:59:08He's gotta move him out.
00:59:10One, two, foots under the rope.
00:59:13That's the only thing that saved him.
00:59:15Breaking the plane of the ropes, the only thing, as you said, Brain, to save Bret Hart from the Diamond Cutter.
00:59:21Page pushing himself, standing up, calling for the Diamond Cutter again.
00:59:26Ditto.
00:59:27But he's gotta put it on center of the ring.
00:59:30Hard covering up in the corner.
00:59:33And now Nick Patrick trying to keep Page back.
00:59:39He's telling the referee he hit me with something.
00:59:44That's what he said.
00:59:45Yeah, he hit you with a Diamond Cutter.
00:59:46That's what he did.
00:59:47I don't think Diamond knows he's got that thing in his sights.
00:59:49How would he?
00:59:50He was unconscious at that point.
00:59:51Page is gonna throw this thing out.
00:59:54Page was out, was willing to let him look down in there because he didn't think it was there.
01:00:09Throw it out, he's gonna disqualify DDP.
01:00:12As a result of a disqualification, it's incredible.
01:00:15No one second.
01:00:16Bret Hart has duped to another low, a new low, in retaining the United States strap.
01:00:24He tells me right there that he's telling us he couldn't beat Diamond Dallas.
01:00:28Page is framed.
01:00:30We'll be back with Goldberg and the Giant live.
01:00:33Diamond!
01:00:34Yeah.
01:00:35We have a reminder.
01:00:37Thunder comes to Norfolk Thursday, September 24th.
01:00:40And the Norfolk Stove tickets go on sale at the box office and Ticketmaster this Friday, August 21st.
01:00:44Larry Zabisco, many of those gorgeous Nitro girls are dancing with these fresh bashing brawlers.

01:00:59You know those bashing brawlers?
01:01:01They go for 30 wrestling sounds insane.
01:01:04And brain, the more you bend them, the more they're gonna yell.
01:01:07The Nitro.
01:01:09Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the WCW Monday Nitro Main Event.
01:01:18Tonight, a night of history for WCW Monday Nitro.
01:01:23And now, two of the most powerful forces in professional wrestling today.
01:01:30We'll meet right now for the Heavyweight Championship of the World.
01:01:37Are you ready?
01:01:39Hartford, Connecticut, are you ready?
01:01:51With the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching around the world.
01:02:00Ladies and gentlemen, let's get ready to rumble!
01:02:10If you ever want a stark difference between us and our competitors, we're gonna give you what we promoted.
01:02:19And their match didn't last past Buffer's introduction.
01:02:25We're about to sum that up.
01:02:27Here comes Big Man!
01:02:29Ladies and gentlemen, making your entrance to the ring this time.
01:02:34Being escorted by the disciple of the NWO, the ultimate big man of professional wrestling.
01:02:44174, 541.75 pounds of power and strength.
01:02:53Tonight, he has vowed to capture the belt for the black and white of NWO Hollywood.
01:03:00He has vowed to not only defeat the champion he's about to face, but to destroy him with his vicious trademark to choke slam.
01:03:10Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the challenger, the man known as Charlie!
01:03:24Well, it wasn't too long ago.
01:03:26Hogan said, we'll be watching your back.
01:03:28I don't see Hogan anywhere at all.
01:03:30After the incredible appearance by the warrior Hogan, it's nowhere to be found out here.
01:03:37Is that a coincidence?
01:03:38No.
01:03:39Here he comes.
01:03:42And they're ready for him here in Hartford.
01:03:46They've been ready for him all day long.
01:03:49The champion of champions.
01:03:51The man of means pro wrestling.
01:03:53Undefeated.
01:03:54Unblemished.
01:03:56What number today?
01:03:57131 and counting.
01:04:00Whoa, man!
01:04:01He has captured an entire nation.
01:04:07An entire world.
01:04:09And destroyed everyone in his path.
01:04:14And one of the great things about him, he comes out when he's ready.
01:04:22They chant his name, they call for him, but Goldberg is on his own time.
01:04:27Pretty much does what he wants to do.
01:04:31He gets himself ready.
01:04:35The champion of the world.
01:04:37He's gonna defend his title.
01:04:38He's gonna be ready.
01:04:40Goldberg has come into pro wrestling.
01:04:50And done things on his own terms.
01:04:55And talking about on his own time.
01:05:00Just ready.
01:05:01The eruption if the fans on the giant screens here.
01:05:15See that Goldberg has walked out of his private locker room.
01:05:19I wonder if there's a locker back there that has a big dent in it.
01:05:29See the story in the Atlanta newspaper about the hottest selling souvenir at the University of Georgia in Athens.
01:05:36The number 95 jersey.
01:05:40How about that?
01:05:42Worn by this man when he played for the Georgia Bulldogs.
01:05:46Well, just last week, Jene and I were in Minneapolis.
01:05:50Coming away at this time, 64, 291 pounds.
01:05:56The man who has captured a cold following like no other.
01:06:00The man whose powers steal to invert and lift and slam.
01:06:06Has demolished 131 consecutive opponents.
01:06:11The man the world has been waiting for.
01:06:15He is the man who is the undisputed, undefeated, unified WC-W-N-W-O.
01:06:28Anyway, the man in the world.
01:06:31The man is Goldberg.
01:06:41There's Mr. Goldberg and there's the Goldberg.
01:06:45Yeah, they may have to retire that number at UGA.
01:06:49I guess next to-
01:06:50So we're at the Mall of America.
01:06:52Every place we went, what do we see?
01:06:54Goldberg T-shirt.
01:06:55You can see it everywhere.
01:06:56Just next to Terrell Davis versus Walker.
01:06:58He's the most famous Bulldog ever.
01:06:59Here we go.
01:07:06Goldberg.
01:07:08I mean, he absorbed those mid straps for the Giant.
01:07:11Giant with a headbutt.
01:07:13Giant's gonna pick him up.
01:07:16Oh, my!
01:07:18Whoa!
01:07:19Nobody's manhandled Goldberg like this before.
01:07:21He's never-
01:07:22Look at how quickly he gets to his feet!
01:07:23Standing there.
01:07:24Can he do it?
01:07:25Oh, my God!
01:07:26Oh, yes, he can do it!
01:07:28Big scoop!
01:07:30And what a slam!
01:07:32He's not afraid of anyone.
01:07:37And the Giant knows it right now.
01:07:42You may be big, but you're in there with a man.
01:07:45The Giant wanted to see what he was made of.
01:07:47He found out.
01:07:48They respect this man.
01:07:51Goldberg!
01:07:52Goldberg!
01:07:53Goldberg!
01:07:54Goldberg!
01:07:55Goldberg!
01:07:56Goldberg!
01:07:57Goldberg!
01:07:58Goldberg!
01:07:59The chant of Goldberg is deafening.
01:08:01Goldberg!
01:08:02Goldberg!
01:08:03Great move by the Giant.
01:08:04Out of neutral position just to pound him down.
01:08:08In the rib cage now.
01:08:13Goldberg won't stay down, though.
01:08:15He keeps coming up like Diamond does.
01:08:18Boy, he's smashing that corner there, guys.
01:08:24With a man over 541.
01:08:28Oh, my!
01:08:33How about that Russian leg sweep from the Giant?
01:08:36Should have covered him there.
01:08:38And a massive headbutt, and that rocked the champion back to the corner.
01:08:47Good luck getting fight out.
01:08:48Kick out another headbutt.
01:08:50And this one slumped Goldberg over the top rope.
01:08:53Goldberg!
01:08:54Goldberg!
01:08:56Goldberg!
01:08:57Throws him through the rope.
01:08:59At the feet of the disciples.
01:09:00Yeah, you're right, Brain.
01:09:02Goldberg!
01:09:04Watching his back.
01:09:05So much for watching his back.
01:09:10Goldberg's gonna fight two men here.
01:09:12Into the side of the head.
01:09:18The Giant, look at with ease.
01:09:26No one's picked up Goldberg like, and he throws the Giant.
01:09:30He slipped off the back of the Giant.
01:09:32Threw him head first to the ring post.
01:09:34Goldberg's gotta get back in that ring.
01:09:39It's too dangerous out there with the Giant and the Disciple on the floor.
01:09:43Plus Giant knows that he has to beat Goldberg in the ring to win the world's heavyweight title.
01:09:49Not only that, he wants to beat him in the ring.
01:09:52Every man that faces Goldberg wants to be the one to finally beat him.
01:09:57Will it happen tonight?
01:09:59And what if it does?
01:10:02Goldberg's getting to his feet.
01:10:04Look at this man.
01:10:06Shakes it off.
01:10:08He's doing it!
01:10:09But can he put the man up?
01:10:11Can he get the Giant up?
01:10:13Let's see what he's all about now.
01:10:15The Disciple attacks Goldberg.
01:10:22That's a disqualification.
01:10:25Goldberg will win again.
01:10:33Gonna take the Disciple up in the air with a jackhammer.
01:10:36Do it, do it.
01:10:37Oh yeah!
01:10:43Giant is still down.
01:10:46Scott Hall's in.
01:10:47Scott Hall out of nowhere.
01:10:49And now three members of NW Hollywood in with Goldberg.
01:10:56Big sassy Kevin Nash the Giant Killer.
01:11:01And Hall don't know he's in there.
01:11:04He spared Nash!
01:11:07Again!
01:11:08He was going for Hall, and he spared Nash!
01:11:12He didn't mean to spare Nash though!
01:11:14And Nash is up in his face!
01:11:15And ladies and gentlemen, we are out of time on Nitro!
