00:00:00Nitro is on the air, ladies and gentlemen.
00:00:03We're live in Chicago, and you are looking live at the entranceway,
00:00:09the rear entranceway, the stage area of the United Center here tonight.
00:00:13Where a black limousine obviously has rolled in, and we're not sure, now we are.
00:00:20Who's coming out of the limousine?
00:00:22Right here.
00:00:22Hollywood Hogan, The Disciple.
00:00:25This is the one.
00:00:26Bischoff with all smiles, and Miss Elizabeth, as we are off and
00:00:32literally rolling for three hours here on TNT.
00:00:38And you know, you try to read in what they're smiling,
00:00:41what's going on in their mind, and I can tell you, I don't know, living legend.
00:00:46I'll tell you what they're not smiling about.
00:00:49They're not smiling about the fact that Hollywood Hogan is not walking out wearing
00:00:53that gold.
00:00:53Come on.
00:00:54It is around the waist of the undisputed heavyweight champion, the WCW, Goldberg.
00:01:01And that's all they're not smiling about, Mike.
00:01:03Well, Bischoff and company look pretty cocky and confident as they make their way
00:01:08through the backstage area here at the United Center and emerge in front of this
00:01:12capacity crowd on hand here in Chicago.
00:01:16I don't think they're too happy about last week's reemergence of the Warrior who promised that
00:01:24beginning tonight he was going to launch a revolution in World Championship Wrestling.
00:01:29So they walk into the sold out venue at the United Center.
00:01:36In the midst of this revolution that you talked about, Mike Tanae, decreed by the Warrior one week ago.
00:01:43And what a program we do have for you.
00:01:47The revolution as stated by the Warrior is on.
00:01:50It's starting here tonight.
00:01:52And also, as we mentioned all this week, we're going to hear from Interrupt Commissioner Rowdy,
00:02:00Rowdy Piper here tonight.
00:02:01What he's going to talk about, we have no idea, but needless to say, Piper is going to say something
00:02:13profound, will have a definite impact on what's going down in the fall months.
00:02:19I tell you what, I've never seen Hollywood Hogan's jaw go down so fast as when the Warrior
00:02:24appeared in his face last week.
00:02:27Oh yeah, the look of shock on Hogan's face certainly spoke for you.
00:02:31It is absolutely great to be back in the town that Hollywood and Rodzilla made famous.
00:02:43But you know what, Hollywood?
00:02:46Before I turn it over to you, I want to make one thing very clear.
00:02:53This is the most powerful thing in the universe besides you.
00:02:59This is how I control WCW and the NWO.
00:03:08I'm the one that ran Vader out of WCW.
00:03:13I'm the one that ran Johnny B. Bad out of WCW.
00:03:18And with this pen, I will keep anybody out or anybody in.
00:03:26Did you hear me, Eddie?
00:03:27Did you hear me, Eddie?
00:03:28That I choose.
00:03:29Don't forget it.
00:03:34Another word's NWO lights.
00:03:37The brother writes it down.
00:03:41It's said.
00:03:43And Hollywood executes it.
00:03:45It's written.
00:03:45It's said.
00:03:46It's done, brother.
00:03:47And for all those NWO lights that worship the ground we walk on, when I hit O'Hare today, the answer is yes.
00:03:59I'm going to beat somebody up real bad on Nitro tonight.
00:04:11The question is, who's going to be the first one and how many are we going to leave laying?
00:04:18Diamond Dallas Page, first thing you puke, you don't have the power, you don't have the stroke.
00:04:28And as far as the ultimate warrior goes, you might as well forget about him being in war games.
00:04:37I saw the fear in his eyes.
00:04:40The last time he ran from me, he hid for eight years.
00:04:45This is a man with a stroke.
00:04:46He signs all the paperwork.
00:04:49The warrior ain't going to be in war games.
00:04:56But you know something, NWO lights.
00:05:00I can't wait to get in the ring.
00:05:05Now war games.
00:05:08The red, the black, Kevin Nash.
00:05:12All the punks that follow that geek around.
00:05:16I'm going to go through them one by one.
00:05:20And now that Diamond Dallas Page is going to be out there all alone, I can't wait to rip him apart limb by limb.
00:05:32Because the final goal, the destiny, my legacy, is to make Goldberg drop to his knees after I win war games.
00:05:45Goldberg will say, please Hollywood, don't beat me up anymore.
00:05:51Please, Hollywood, you're the man.
00:05:55And Goldberg, as God is my witness, after I win war games, I'm going to make you beg for forgiveness.
00:06:05When you're on Hollywood, NWO, you're with Hollywood for life, brother.
00:06:16And now all, would you all please rise and worship the ground that this man walks on.
00:06:25Thank you very much.
00:06:27And we'll get the action off and rolling after this timeout on Team 13.
00:06:31The funny thing is, we just love beating people up.
00:06:43War games, I'll try with it.
00:06:45I'm going to beat Goldberg so bad, his girlfriend's not even going to recognize him.
00:06:51I'm the champion, I'm the man.
00:06:54And this is the boss with all the strokes.
00:06:57Yes.
00:07:01And on this Monday, August 24th, 1998,
00:07:31the biggest hit in the Windy City is not Sandy Salsa bringing the field.
00:07:36It's Monday Nitro.
00:07:38As we are live, the sellout crowd is on hand at the United Center.
00:07:44Where tonight, the home of the Bulls and the home of the Blackhawks
00:07:49is the home of professional wrestling number one program, Monday Nitro.
00:07:54And already, you have heard from NWO Hollywood.
00:07:58You have heard what they've had to say about a variety of things.
00:08:02But there is no denying that one week ago, as we talked about, outwalked the Warrior.
00:08:11And the Warrior shocked the world.
00:08:14As we take you back to one week ago.
00:08:17The lights dimmed, the Cairo kicked in, and the Warrior came out.
00:08:25Look at the reaction, the quivering jaw of Hollywood Hogan.
00:08:28What a moment that was.
00:08:30Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to be off and running with perfect wrestling action.
00:08:34Here tonight, Tony Schiavone, Mike Tenet, the living legend, Larry Zabisco.
00:08:38You know, you could have parked a bus inside Hogan's mouth.
00:08:42It opened so wide last week.
00:08:45Professional wrestling world still talking about that mid-ring showdown.
00:08:50That stare down between the Warrior and Hollywood Hogan.
00:08:54You hear Hogan and Bischoff talk.
00:08:56It's all about power and control.
00:08:59And according to them, they are controlling the world of professional wrestling.
00:09:04I take that with a grain of salt.
00:09:05The New World Order has been wanting to control wrestling for two years.
00:09:09And the only thing it achieved was a successful split in half.
00:09:13That's exactly.
00:09:13And that's what happens when big egos collide like that.
00:09:16Well, nevertheless, fans, I think that we need to talk about Bischoff and the reference to the pin.
00:09:22And the fact that, remember, a week ago when the Warrior came out,
00:09:25Bischoff didn't have much to say.
00:09:27But one of the things he did say was that he had no right to be here.
00:09:30Now, Diamond Dallas had come out earlier in the same program talking about his surprise,
00:09:36his teammate for war games.
00:09:38And we have put two and two together as Rev makes his return, as you can see here on Money Nitro,
00:09:43thinking that the Warrior would team at Diamond Dallas page.
00:09:46Well, that's not been confirmed yet at all.
00:09:48Well, let me tell you something.
00:09:50They say the pin is mightier than the sword.
00:09:54But if the pin was so mighty, we wouldn't need a police force and a SWAT team.
00:09:59The Warrior may be just the sword we need.
00:10:02Well, Bischoff is in control, and he's right.
00:10:04He's the man in charge.
00:10:06And I guess he can put a roadblock or a stop in front of that if he wants to, Mike, today.
00:10:11I wonder if he's going to go to the legal card at this point.
00:10:14You know, obviously, NWO Hollywood wants to do everything within their power to control the Warrior
00:10:20and keep him out of the war games and world championship wrestling.
00:10:25Mike Enos trying to get the blows in of Rath.
00:10:27Rath is a big, powerful man, but he absorbed every bit of it.
00:10:31Yes, he's too big to go to the upper body, and Enos should know better.
00:10:34He's been around a while.
00:10:35You know, attack him in the knees, get behind him, take him down.
00:10:38Rath, big guy that can move.
00:10:40Look at him go.
00:10:41Rath quickly down on the floor, sending Enos to the safety rail right in front of our fans here.
00:10:47Safety, that's a contradiction in terms.
00:10:50I know it is, but that's what it's called, a knife-edged chop once again.
00:10:54Not only the appearance of the Warrior a week ago and the reverberations that were felt all through Professor Rushen.
00:11:02A great move by Rath.
00:11:03What a big guy do that?
00:11:04But also another confrontation between Goldberg and Big Sexy Kevin Nash of NWO Goldback.
00:11:11Well, we know that Kevin Nash one week ago claimed that he forgave Goldberg.
00:11:16Haven't heard from Kevin Nash about chapter number two, however.
00:11:19Face-to-face they were when we went off the air a week ago.
00:11:24A backsplash that time.
00:11:26Rath makes a cover.
00:11:27And Scott Dickinson says only a two-count.
00:11:29Very important for Rath.
00:11:31Mounting a return here in World Championship Wrestling to get a win in the opening bout here on Nitro, Mike.
00:11:35It's been several months since we've seen Rath on Nitro.
00:11:39Mike Enos, big power slam, gets barely a two-count before the big man is able to roll the shoulders.
00:11:48Enos will shoot Rath in once again.
00:11:51What Enos lacks in the height differential here at Living Legend.
00:11:55He makes up in his ability.
00:11:56Not only that, he's a veteran.
00:11:58He sends the man in.
00:11:58Here he comes!
00:11:59Well, I made a mistake there.
00:12:00I mean, he's got to just use his leverage.
00:12:01He's got a little leverage than Rath.
00:12:03He can get under him and take him down, but that's what Enos is not doing.
00:12:06He's not taking Rath down.
00:12:08That was a good ducking.
00:12:10Went for that jumping elbow again.
00:12:12Enos able to avoid contact.
00:12:14You know, I tell you, I know Kevin Nash shoots his mouth up, but you've got to remember,
00:12:17the Wolfpack wants Goldberg's belt just as much, if not more, than Team Hollywood.
00:12:23And how do we know?
00:12:25Obviously, everybody wants to be the world champion, but the one man remaining,
00:12:28the winner of War Games coming up, will get Goldberg in.
00:12:31And Halloween Havoc is a better one, two, three.
00:12:36How about that move?
00:12:37Wow.
00:12:37Talk about a unique offensive move.
00:12:39We've been calling Canyon the innovator of offense.
00:12:42Out of the pump handle into a big slam by Rath, and he returns to Nitro with a vengeance.
00:12:47It was a big win for the big man in the opening bout here in Chicago at the United Center on WCW Monday night.
00:12:56It's time for our Slim Jim Replay.
00:12:58I tell you, he just made some basic mistakes here.
00:13:00I mean, even though he had some nice moves, just went toe-to-toe with a much bigger guy.
00:13:04And Rath really impressed me.
00:13:05I mean, he moved around like Rey Mysterio Jr. in there.
00:13:08And this guy is huge, used his weight, used his power, and got the one, two, three on him.
00:13:13Well, week one as the revolution is on, so says the Warrior.
00:13:17And we're two segments down, a lot of great wrestling.
00:13:20What will go down here tonight?
00:13:22As far as the Warrior is concerned, there's only one way to find out.
00:13:25Come on back with us on TNT.
00:13:26Who holds the absolute power now, Hollywood Hogan.
00:13:47At least that raise his voice, Wyatt.
00:13:50There was no question that last week, when he made his show,
00:13:56shocking arrival in the WCW, the Warrior held the absolute power, Living Legend.
00:14:01Well, tonight begins the revolution that the Warrior promised.
00:14:05Now, Hogan's got two problems, getting the belt from Goldberg and the Warrior.
00:14:09It's my hometown.
00:14:11I'll be back.
00:14:12As you are coming back, we also need to talk about Goldberg and Kevin Nash.
00:14:17Face-to-face a week ago, and we talked about everybody wants to be the world champ.
00:14:22Kevin Nash will lead the Wolfpack team in the War Games on the 13th of September.
00:14:26And, Tony, it's actually been two straight weeks that Nitro has gone off the air on Monday night
00:14:30with a physical confrontation between the unbeaten heavyweight champion of the world, Goldberg,
00:14:36and the leader of the Wolfpack, Kevin Nash.
00:14:38Nash made it very clear a week ago that they shared a brew, and he forgave Goldberg.
00:14:44But what about last Monday?
00:14:45I'm not so sure that two weeks in a row he's going to be so forgiving.
00:14:48As a matter of fact, we're going to take you back to last Monday, fans.
00:14:51Now, don't forget, once again, as you said, twice in a row, then on Thunder, all was forgiven.
00:14:56But we're going to take you back now to the end of WCW Monday Nitro.
00:14:59One week ago, Goldberg and Nash, this time, went nose-to-nose.
00:15:04Here's what happened.
00:15:06Starting.
00:15:08But can he put the man up?
00:15:09Can he get the giant up?
00:15:11Let's see what he's all about now.
00:15:15The disciple.
00:15:17Attacks Goldberg.
00:15:19That's a disqualification.
00:15:24Goldberg will win again.
00:15:31Going to take the disciple up in the air with the jackhammer.
00:15:34Do it, do it.
00:15:35One, two, three.
00:15:39Oh, yeah.
00:15:41Giant is still down.
00:15:44Scott Hall's in.
00:15:45Scott Hall out of nowhere.
00:15:46And now, three members of NW Hollywood in with Goldberg.
00:15:54Big sassy Kevin Nash, the giant killer.
00:15:58And Hall don't know he's in there.
00:16:03He speared Nash.
00:16:05Again.
00:16:07He was going for Hall.
00:16:09And he speared Nash.
00:16:10He didn't mean to spear Nash, though.
00:16:12He's talking about a collision.
00:16:19It happened at the end of WCW Money Nitro one week ago.
00:16:24What will go down here tonight, the fans, you never know, on Nitro.
00:16:29But you're looking out at the gallery here, and the gorgeous Nitro girls are out.
00:16:33There's Kimberly, there's Kay, there's Fire, Spice, Tigress, and Whisper are all here with us.
00:16:39That reminds us that coming up in a week, we're going to be going live to our grand prize winner in Ohio with the Nitro Party tips.
00:16:46That's next week.
00:16:47One week from tonight.
00:16:48That's exactly right.
00:16:49One week from tonight, fans.
00:16:50As you know, the Nitro Party is sponsored by Mug Root Beer.
00:16:53The phone goes straight to the brain.
00:16:55The winner of the Nitro Party pack this week is Elizabeth Adams from Ena, Illinois.
00:16:59Here's Elizabeth in her winning video this week.
00:17:04I'm Toby Zolani.
00:17:06I'm Mike Zolani.
00:17:07We're going to have a great Nitro Party here at Illinois tonight.
00:17:13Hello, everybody.
00:17:14It's going to be a fun party tonight, but again, it's a help of some of my friends.
00:17:18It's a help.
00:17:20Here's War Pack.
00:17:22Woo!
00:17:23Thanks a lot, Elizabeth.
00:17:37And once again, the Nitro Party is sponsored by Mug Root Beer.
00:17:40The phone goes straight to your brain.
00:17:42And had their own announce team there, didn't they, Mike?
00:17:45How about that?
00:17:45How about that?
00:17:46The crowd gets in my brain, too.
00:17:48I had to go.
00:17:48You know, that's what I think of Dusty Rhodes and his gag order.
00:17:52Idiot.
00:17:55We continue with the action here on WCW Monday Night Joke as Hayashi makes his way out.
00:18:00I want to remind you, fans.
00:18:03I'm going to be talking to one Diamond Dallas Page a little bit later on.
00:18:06You know, so much has been said ever since Page came out a week ago.
00:18:10Talking about his surprise, his newest member of Team WCW.
00:18:14Are you going to have some news about war games at Team WCW?
00:18:18Is it firm?
00:18:19And Bischoff says no.
00:18:21And we'll have to ask Page himself.
00:18:23Is Warrior part of this team or not?
00:18:24Well, great.
00:18:25Who better to shed light on the situation than the captain of Team WCW, DDP Diamond Dallas Page, later in this broadcast?
00:18:36Dean Malenko.
00:18:37Now, here comes a wrestler's wrestler walking to the ring with his head up high.
00:18:42I like this guy.
00:18:43Yeah, he's your type of guy, Libby Legend.
00:18:44No nonsense, knows all the holes, knows how to get out of many holes.
00:18:48This is not the place for nonsense.
00:18:51Very serious competitor, Dean Malenko, and a man who has taken the seriousness to a new level when he's referring to the horsemen.
00:19:01Wanting to rekindle the horsemen.
00:19:03I mean, when you think about the history of our great sport, when you especially go back in the 80s, starting, let's talk about 1985 until the present.
00:19:10Horsemen have always been a big part of pro wrestling, and Malenko wants to bring all that back again.
00:19:16Huge foundation in world championship wrestling.
00:19:19Really the cornerstone of WCW for so many years.
00:19:23The four horsemen, and Malenko wants to be a part of that rebirth, that revival of the horsemen group.
00:19:29Now, Malenko may have no choice.
00:19:31As tradition runs through this man's blood, and the horsemen are a part of wrestling tradition.
00:19:37Huge experience, Edge, for Dean Malenko over the youngster Kaz Hayashi.
00:19:41Young man in his early 20s from Japan, not Kaz Hayashi's first appearance on a Nitro.
00:19:46And a couple of months ago, when he appeared on Monday Nitro, we were certainly impressed with him as Malenko just neutralizes him with the reverse chin lock.
00:19:53My one grandfather was Kaz.
00:19:56Not Japan, I'm Polish.
00:19:57Kazma called him.
00:19:59We understand, Larry.
00:20:00Yes, we do.
00:20:02Anything else you can tell us?
00:20:03No, I've got way too many relatives here.
00:20:05I bet you do.
00:20:06And driving the knee to the forehead, Dean Malenko.
00:20:10Superb technical wrestling skill.
00:20:12Side headlock.
00:20:14And a wide vertical base.
00:20:15Malenko, in his efforts to rekindle the horsemen, to bring them back together.
00:20:19To bring them back to their glory.
00:20:21He's found a number of enemies.
00:20:22Number one, I guess, would be the man who is responsible for the breakup of the horsemen a year ago, one Kurt Hennig.
00:20:28Yeah, the man who originally broke up the horsemen, Kurt Hennig.
00:20:31And who can ever forget the fateful night, well, almost one year ago at Fall Brawl, the war games, when Hennig turned on the horsemen.
00:20:39Hey, Malenko's in a position you don't see it often.
00:20:46Aiyashi back to the attack, and he comes with a big European uppercut.
00:20:56Well, fans, as we told you earlier, we'll be talking to one Diamond Dallas Page.
00:21:00Rowdy, Rowdy Pipers in attendance.
00:21:02As we begin the revolution, we can only wonder what the Warrior has in store for WCW fans.
00:21:08To cover one, two, we've got a two-count.
00:21:10What the Warrior has in store for us here tonight is Malenko with the leg scissor on the head fans.
00:21:16We'll be back after this timeout on Monday Nitro.
00:21:19Figure four.
00:21:24Dean Malenko continues his assault on Kaz Hayashi here.
00:21:27You know, we've talked so much about the Warrior's presence and the revolution and Rowdy, Rowdy Piper being here tonight.
00:21:34And we're going to hear from Diamond Dallas Page.
00:21:36It always seems to build to this point as we head to War Games, not only with three teams this year
00:21:42and the one-man winning going on to face Goldberg for the world title coming up in Halloween Havoc,
00:21:46but because it's the most dangerous time of the year, it's the most dangerous match, Larry.
00:21:50If you look at the statistics, the most numerous and the most serious injuries happened in War Games.
00:21:55I was in one.
00:21:57That's when I started golfing.
00:21:59Well, two huge points, Tony, that you brought up.
00:22:01When you factor in, oh, twisting corkscrew splash in midair by Hayashi.
00:22:07When you factor in the three teams for the very first time ever, plus the winner of the War Games is in line for a title shot with Goldberg.
00:22:16It's going to be the biggest War Games ever at Fall Brawl.
00:22:18I really think different rules, as you know, and Dean Malenko with a short clothesline.
00:22:23Sinekez, Hayashi down.
00:22:24He'll pick him up to do it again.
00:22:25Boy, he holds on to that wrist.
00:22:27Uh-oh.
00:22:28That's a great power move by Hayashi.
00:22:30And a bridge to boot.
00:22:31And he almost beat him.
00:22:33Didn't get that bridge up fast enough.
00:22:35And that gave Malenko an extra second to wiggle out of that.
00:22:38Boy, Hayashi realized how close he was to what would have been one of our biggest upsets ever on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:22:44Oh, that was a great counter move that time.
00:22:48He just ducked low and also drove the shoulder into the midsection of Malenko.
00:22:52Here comes Dean Malenko.
00:22:53The ice hit up top.
00:22:55Thrown off by Hayashi.
00:22:57And tried to moonsault by Malenko's knees up in the nick of time.
00:23:03And look at this.
00:23:03Comes right back.
00:23:05Roll up Mahistra cradle.
00:23:07He.
00:23:08No, only two.
00:23:09He almost beat him again.
00:23:10And this young man, again.
00:23:12Very impressive on Nitro.
00:23:13Well, rising to the occasion here on this capacity crowd on this live telecast.
00:23:18Getting aggressive.
00:23:19You may fool Dean once or twice.
00:23:20You're not going to fool him three times in a row.
00:23:23And Kaz's combinations just weren't adequate enough.
00:23:26And Malenko's got him hooked.
00:23:29Put him down with a power bomb.
00:23:31And now with the Texas cover leaf.
00:23:33He's got him.
00:23:34And the fans come to their feet.
00:23:35He's sitting down on it.
00:23:37That's the pressure.
00:23:38And the referee calls the bell.
00:23:40And this one is over.
00:23:42Dean Malenko fought through this one, guys.
00:23:44No nonsense.
00:23:46And Kaz Hayashi came to fight.
00:23:49What a great showing by Kaz Hayashi.
00:23:52Even in defeat, the experience edge of Malenko really saw him turn it on at the end.
00:23:57There's no question the popularity of the Wolfpack at its zenith right now.
00:24:01Special look at the red and the black of the NWO.
00:24:05Wolfpack in the house.
00:24:15Let me speak on this.
00:24:16Let's move.
00:24:21The total package.
00:24:22Arriba, la branca.
00:24:25The Wolfpack forever.
00:24:31Red and black.
00:24:34Here comes the Wolfpack.
00:24:37Big sexy.
00:24:39All right, let's go.
00:24:41All right, let's go.
00:24:44Lex, Lex, Lex.
00:24:45Lex, Lex.
00:24:46This man in the Wopak is just too bad!
00:25:02Wopak in the house!
00:25:11Are they ever in the house?
00:25:13You hear it!
00:25:15Ringing out here at the United Center.
00:25:17They're standing, red and black shirts everywhere here.
00:25:21The Wopak ready to emerge from the entranceway here in Chicago.
00:25:26Huge capacity crowd on hand at the United Center.
00:25:29They rise as one to greet the NWO red and black attack of the Wopak.
00:25:36Now remember three men from the red and black attack will go on to be the Wopak team coming up in war games.
00:25:46And who will that be? That's still undecided.
00:25:49There's three of them walking out now.
00:25:51That's true, but any way you go, I mean you could go with put Sting in the mix there or any combination would be lethal.
00:25:58There's no question.
00:25:59Is this the team like you said?
00:26:01I think it's coming up. Maybe it's official announcement or something.
00:26:04Maybe it will be.
00:26:05That's the captain, Kevin Nash.
00:26:07And you know, we're gonna hear from Diamond Dallas Page on Team WCW coming up in this telecast.
00:26:14So this may be the announcement from the Wopak.
00:26:28What a phenomenon.
00:26:30I'm still amazed.
00:26:35And how quickly it had all turned around from one faction of the NWO.
00:26:42Now to the Wopak, to the red and the black.
00:26:47해 and the black boy's poster.
00:26:48That's the conversation they are and you go to the nation.
00:26:59Yo, Chi-Town W..
00:27:03Is most definitely in the match!
00:27:10Yo, yo, yo, let me speak on this.
00:27:16Orale!
00:27:17Orale!
00:27:19Arriba la raza!
00:27:21Arriba la raza!
00:27:23Yo, you know the black and white be talking about that for life.
00:27:27But us, somos unos vatos locos forever.
00:27:31But more importantly than that, the Wolfpack in Chi-Town is Bowdy Bowdy and
00:27:37Bowdy Bowdy!
00:27:39Bowdy!
00:27:40Bowdy!
00:27:41Bowdy!
00:27:42Bowdy!
00:27:43Bowdy!
00:27:44Bowdy!
00:27:45Bowdy!
00:27:46Bowdy!
00:27:47Once again, a whole lot of black and red going on!
00:27:52Bowdy!
00:27:53Bowdy!
00:27:54Bowdy!
00:27:55Bowdy!
00:27:56Bowdy!
00:27:57Bowdy!
00:27:58Bowdy!
00:27:59Bowdy!
00:28:00Now down to business.
00:28:02You know something, Hogan?
00:28:07You can continue to run your mouth week in and week out.
00:28:12The fact of the matter is this.
00:28:15The Wolfpack, though there's few, we are the proud.
00:28:20You can't run with us, dawg.
00:28:21You can't run with us, dawg.
00:28:22Let me tell you that right now.
00:28:23You come out here and you say you want a war.
00:28:35Well, brother, you got a war.
00:28:38One thing about Big Sexy, he likes a good war.
00:28:50When I came here, it was all about a war.
00:28:54And the war continues.
00:28:56And I'll tell you something, Bischoff, Hogan, hey, if I've got to eliminate both of you,
00:29:03I'll do it because when it's said and done, I'm going to run this company, nobody else.
00:29:09And if I've got to be world champion to do it, then so be it too.
00:29:24Now I've got one more person I need to address, and that's you, Goldberg.
00:29:40The first time you speared me, we had a beer.
00:29:44Everything was cool.
00:29:49Well, the only people I had a beer with last week are the two guys standing next to me right now.
00:29:57So, Goldberg, it's plain and simple.
00:30:01Both my guys out here tonight have prior matches, so my dance card right now is empty.
00:30:10Hogan and Giant are in the back saying they want to have a tag match.
00:30:16So, Goldberg, the question is this.
00:30:20You want to bury the hatchet?
00:30:22You want to make things right?
00:30:24The only way you make things right is tonight you tag up with me and me and you.
00:30:34Oh, smokes.
00:30:40We may not have to wait long to get an answer.
00:30:44Oh, I think, I think it's crystal clear what that music means.
00:30:51I mean, he barely got it out of his mouth, Living Legend.
00:30:54He wants Goldberg, and here he comes! Here he comes!
00:30:57Yeah, he's walking strong looking, too. I'd be very careful what I say.
00:31:04Is he going to bury the hatchet, or is he going to try and bury the wolf pack?
00:31:08I'd like to see him bury the wolf pack.
00:31:10I mean, if there ever was a Goldberg power stomp to the ring, you're seeing it right now.
00:31:17He has really picked up the pace.
00:31:21Many of Chicago's finest security guards with him.
00:31:24You do not take the name of Goldberg in vain.
00:31:29Not without an answer, you doubt.
00:31:31Here he comes!
00:31:46Wrestling fans around the world!
00:31:49And what an ovation!
00:31:51Can you? You can feel it!
00:31:53The world champion has arrived!
00:31:58This place just went bizarre!
00:32:04And Big Sexy looking as calm as ever, but the world champ stoking in the ring.
00:32:13These champs are giving me goosebumps.
00:32:15Here he is!
00:32:23He came right in and said, you got it!
00:32:25That was short and sweet!
00:32:27Hey, real men don't have to come up with big excuses!
00:32:32In case you didn't hear what he said, he said, if you want it, you got it!
00:32:40So now this, Goldberg has agreed!
00:32:43So in that, all I have to say is, Hogan Giant, you're next!
00:32:52It's a tag team spectacular coming up live on Nitro, stay with us!
00:33:00I think he's scared to death, I think he wants to make amends.
00:33:07He's doing everything, look at this!
00:33:09He took off!
00:33:11He wants him to join him!
00:33:14He wants him to join him!
00:33:18There's the act of a coward right there!
00:33:20What is that smell?
00:33:24A firm answer from The Warrior a week ago.
00:33:28And on this week when the revolution begins, we still are waiting to see
00:33:32what will go down here tonight.
00:33:34But what about the tag team match?
00:33:36We already know is going to go down tonight, Mike, today!
00:33:39Tony, can you believe it?
00:33:40Is it incredible?
00:33:42It's going to be Kevin Nash from the Wolfpack
00:33:45joining forces with the WCW World's Heavyweight Champion, Goldberg!
00:33:49What a formidable team that is against Hogan and the Giants!
00:33:52It's a very formidable team, but Goldberg has to remember, no matter what Kevin Nash says,
00:33:58how Lex Luger is smiling!
00:34:01Nash and the Wolfpack!
00:34:03Wow!
00:34:04What Goldberg and WCW have!
00:34:07That's the belt!
00:34:09Speaking of Goldberg, I want to let you know that this Thursday, the 27th,
00:34:13Goldberg's going to be at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale,
00:34:16when tickets go on sale for our next Nitro in New York on Monday, November 9th!
00:34:22We can meet Goldberg and many of the Nitro girls in the Coliseum in Nassau this Thursday,
00:34:2610-30 to 12-30 when tickets go on sale at the box office and Ticketmaster locations.
00:34:31That notwithstanding though, we have been hit with a bombshell tonight.
00:34:35Never thought I would see, after all the animosity that's been building,
00:34:40the heat that's been building between the two,
00:34:42thought I would see Kevin Nash pick sexy and Goldberg as a team.
00:34:46I just wondered, did Goldberg want to bury the hatchet?
00:34:48Is that why he came out, stormed to the ring?
00:34:51Short and sweet, you won it, you got it.
00:34:54Just like that, they're a tag team.
00:34:56Nostradamus wouldn't even have seen this one.
00:34:58That's Jim D'Amble Neinhardt against Cadyaw Codan of NWO, Wolfpack here.
00:35:02You know, Wolfpack and Cadyaw, I don't know what Viva La Rasa means,
00:35:06but I wouldn't buy a used car off this guy.
00:35:08Well, Mike knows what it means, don't you?
00:35:10No, it's a Viva La Rasa, it's a power to the people, to the race.
00:35:14There you go, see?
00:35:15Race a used car you'd buy from him.
00:35:18Neinhardt down on the floor, wants to slow things down,
00:35:20and you know, as we talk about the Warrior Revolution that he talked about,
00:35:24and let's not forget the words from Hollywood Hogan,
00:35:27that he said Mr. Bischoff has the pin, what he says goes.
00:35:30There's no denying, we all know this, as much as we do not like the man,
00:35:34as much as he has pledged allegiance to NWO Hollywood,
00:35:38and he bows at Hollywood Hogan.
00:35:40Eric Bischoff runs things here.
00:35:42So that's why we are concerned about the Warriors' appearance last week,
00:35:45as it relates to war games, as it relates to team at WCW,
00:35:49because Bischoff said no.
00:35:51In other words, what you're saying is the Warriors' promise to launch a revolution
00:35:55may be in jeopardy because of the power of Eric Bischoff.
00:35:58Well, I'm sure Bischoff will do whatever he can, but facts speak louder than the pen.
00:36:05The Warrior was in the ring, and Bischoff couldn't stop him last week.
00:36:08We're going to hear from Diamond Dallas Page with news on war games,
00:36:13and especially on team WCW, raked to the back by Jim D'Ambo and Idar.
00:36:16And fans, what a night it's shaping up to be.
00:36:21With Rowdy Roddy Piper and Commissioner here, with the revolution beginning,
00:36:25and of course, taking shape at any time, I must say.
00:36:28You never know when the Warriors' gonna arrive on the scene again tonight, like he did last night.
00:36:32With Goldberg and Kevin Nash being together here tonight as a tag team.
00:36:37This is the place to be, because we are just off and running.
00:36:41We've got over two hours to go on this program.
00:36:44Here's a pickup, and a big slam by Jim D'Ambo-Nidhart.
00:36:47The Anvil's a stout guy. He falls on you from here.
00:36:53K-Dog's lucky.
00:37:01K-Dog trying to time up, but he's got him.
00:37:04Conan's good on the mat, you can't deny that, and he's got the Anvil hooked here.
00:37:08He sure does. Tequila Sunrise hooked in the middle of the ring.
00:37:12It's over. How about it? K-Dog's your winner.
00:37:15Ooh!
00:37:17Neidhart quickly taps out to avoid further pain and punishment.
00:37:21And, Larry, NWO Wolfpack do rule.
00:37:25Well, I tell you, they're very good. You can't underestimate them.
00:37:28Conan is a very good wrestler. Great submission man.
00:37:31I just don't know if I trust the man. We'll find out.
00:37:34Larry, this was so impressive. Let's take another look at Conan's submission victory
00:37:40over Jim the Anvil Neidhart.
00:37:42I'm sure Neidhart doesn't want to see this, but he made a big mistake there,
00:37:44and Conan's capitalized on it.
00:37:47Anvil didn't move quick enough, and Conan, watch how he sits over here.
00:37:51Puts the pressure right back on that shoulder and brings all the weight up over with that ankle.
00:37:55Very painful thing, and the Anvil had no choice but to say uncle.
00:38:00Looks like it's going to be a big evening for the NWO red and black attack.
00:38:04The Wolfpack starts off with a victory.
00:38:07Now let's go to Tony Schiavone.
00:38:11All right, Mike, today, thank you very much.
00:38:13What a crowd we have on hand here tonight.
00:38:16But what I want to bring out now, a man who's been really the center of much controversy
00:38:20in World Championship wrestling.
00:38:22Here is Stevie Ray.
00:38:25Now this is the man who claimed to be at one point the WCW World's TV champion no longer holds that belt.
00:38:37That title now around the waist of Chris Jericho.
00:38:39All right, you and I, big guy, we've talked before, and this past Thursday on Thunder on TBS,
00:38:48we saw many members of the black and white NWO Hollywood surrounding you, really browbing you.
00:38:54What in the world were they saying anyway at the end of your match with the Giant?
00:38:57Tony, don't worry about what they were saying.
00:39:01I'll deal with that Giant, and I'll deal with the guys that you saw slapping me around,
00:39:06if you know what I'm saying, because Stevie Ray ain't no joke.
00:39:09Well, we talked to you about center of controversy, obviously,
00:39:12when it relates to the WCW World Television title that Chris Jericho now has.
00:39:18Well, as far as the TV title going, Chris Jericho, I'm coming for my title.
00:39:24I'm coming for my title.
00:39:28Uh-oh.
00:39:29Booker T.
00:39:31Now we're going to get this straight.
00:39:32How about this?
00:39:33What's up, man?
00:39:36Yeah, Tony.
00:39:38You know, a lot of people, you know, they want to know where I've been, you know.
00:39:41Where you been, man?
00:39:42And for the last, you know, six to eight months in WCW, I've been running myself ragged.
00:39:47So what I did, I left the country because I wanted to be away from professional wrestling.
00:39:52I wanted to be away from the scene.
00:39:54I just wanted my body to heal totally so I could come back and give the people 110%.
00:40:01But, you know, I've been back for a couple of days, you know, and I can't even walk out of the house, you know, to pick up my paper without somebody asking me,
00:40:11Why is Stevie Ray doing what he doing?
00:40:13You know, why is Stevie Ray taking the television title, you know, and desecrating?
00:40:18You know, I wanted everybody to know that I worked hard for the television title.
00:40:23And I just want to know one thing, bro, straight from you.
00:40:26What the hell is going on?
00:40:28Well, I'm going to tell you what's going on.
00:40:34Yeah, I took the belt.
00:40:37And yeah, I defended the belt.
00:40:40You know why?
00:40:41Because that belt is coming between me and you because J.J. Dillon is out here pimping you for these people.
00:40:51Look, bro, J.J. ain't got nothing to do with it.
00:40:53Yeah, he got everything to do with it.
00:40:54You went down for six months.
00:40:55I had to do what I had to do around here to make a living.
00:40:59Can I say something?
00:41:00J.J. has made an announcement.
00:41:02Maybe you don't know.
00:41:03He has made this man the number one contender for the U.S. heavyweight title.
00:41:08Did you realize that?
00:41:09When?
00:41:10When is that supposed to happen?
00:41:11It was a press release that we saw today.
00:41:14What is this all about, man?
00:41:16What is this all about?
00:41:18A U.S. title shot with Bret Hart?
00:41:21You don't need this guy, man.
00:41:23Don't you see what he's trying to do?
00:41:24Yeah.
00:41:25We ain't got a shot at the tag team belt since we started.
00:41:27Listen, brother.
00:41:28Look here.
00:41:29Listen to me, man.
00:41:30What is going on?
00:41:31Look, man.
00:41:32Get your head right.
00:41:33J.J. Dillon made me the number one contender at Bret Hart for one reason.
00:41:37That is that I am going to go in and get a little redemption.
00:41:41I'm going to get Bret Hart for what he did to me.
00:41:43He whacked me on my knee with a chair.
00:41:45Bret Hart, I want you to know something, sucker.
00:41:47Look at me right now.
00:41:48I'm fine.
00:41:49I'm fine.
00:41:50And tonight, me and you, Bret, we're going to rock and roll, and we're going to raise the roof in this month just one more time.
00:41:58Now, can't you dig it?
00:42:00That's what we're talking about.
00:42:02I'm telling you.
00:42:03All I need.
00:42:04All I need is for you to watch my back.
00:42:06That's all.
00:42:07All right.
00:42:08It is tonight.
00:42:10Booker T and Bret the Hitman Hart for the U.S. title.
00:42:14Mike Tenet, as they argue, let's send it back to you.
00:42:17Well, the United Center is rocking, and this is shaping up as one of the biggest Monday Nitros ever.
00:42:23While the gorgeous Nitro girls entertain in the middle of the ring, Booker T is going to challenge Bret the Hitman Hart for the United States Heavyweight title.
00:42:32We've been promised an appearance by Rowdy Roddy Piper.
00:42:35The Warrior says he's going to launch a revolution, but the boss, Eric Bischoff, may have something to say about that.
00:42:43Also, Goldberg to join forces with Kevin Nash.
00:42:47It's going to be WCW and the NWO against Hollywood Hogan, and that big main event joining the Giant.
00:42:55It's all a part of Nitro.
00:42:57We're live from Chicago on TNT.
00:43:02Ladies and gentlemen, we're back live in Chicago.
00:43:07WCW Monday Nitro for the second hour kicking off.
00:43:10Still to come in this telecast, as you know, Goldberg and Kevin Nash will be a team against the Giant and Hollywood Hogan.
00:43:19But without further ado, let us bring in the man who is the leader of Team WCW at War Games, the one, the only, Diamond Dallas Payne!
00:43:37Well, we're going to set the record straight once and for all.
00:43:40He's not only the people's champion, he's also the captain, the leader of Team WCW at Fall Brawl, the War Games on Pay Per View, September the 13th.
00:43:51And we have so many questions to be answered about the formation of Team WCW.
00:43:56And there's the captain, DDP, Diamond Dallas Payne.
00:44:00Everywhere that he goes around the United Center, the fans greet DDP.
00:44:11Now he's in the crowd making his way to the ring for this interview with Tony Schiavone.
00:44:16All right.
00:44:41Diamond Dallas Payne, the fans cheer you on.
00:44:48It was one week ago on this program, you talked about the surprise.
00:44:52You talked about the man coming out, a member of Team WCW.
00:44:57But since that time, we all know that Eric Bischoff is in charge.
00:45:02As Hollywood Hogan said, he's the man with the pen.
00:45:05And based on all of that, he's kind of painted you and Team WCW into a corner.
00:45:10I don't know about anybody in here.
00:45:20But as far as I'm concerned, that little squirm of a worm, Sleazy E, is a fool.
00:45:31And that little pen, Bischoff, you were bouncing around behind Hollywood.
00:45:42Well, I'd like to stick this pen right in your right ear.
00:45:49Squish it right through your left.
00:45:53And as far as the other fool, Hollywood scum.
00:46:03By manipulating the field, you think you can manipulate me.
00:46:09And yeah, you have painted me in a corner.
00:46:12But Hogan, you can't steal my heart.
00:46:16There is no way I won't be at War Games.
00:46:19There's no way I won't be at Fall Brawl.
00:46:22And you're right.
00:46:25I'm back into it right now.
00:46:28And I ain't the kind of guy that does real well at asking for help.
00:46:35But if there's somebody out there that wants to step up to the plate,
00:46:42well, then I welcome them.
00:46:46Like I said, step up to the plate.
00:46:58Oh, my.
00:47:03In all his rowdiness, here comes the interim commissioner.
00:47:07And I tell you, a man of tradition.
00:47:09And one of the last real men that walked this planet.
00:47:13He wants him to step up to the plate.
00:47:15It's batter up time for Rowdy Roddy Piper here in Chicago.
00:47:19He's hit a lot of home runs.
00:47:33Well, step up to the plate is what the man said.
00:47:53I come to you tonight as the commissioner,
00:48:11and the first thing I want to say is I've been watching you,
00:48:15and you have been doing one hell of a job.
00:48:23The hard work has paid off.
00:48:26Now, I learned something real interesting.
00:48:31I've been in Hollywood doing a movie with Burt Reynolds,
00:48:35and all the Time Warner people were there.
00:48:38And I had dinner with them.
00:48:41And you know what they told me about Eric Bischoff?
00:48:45Time Warner says, as Eric Bischoff does,
00:48:48I can hire anybody.
00:48:50I can fire anybody.
00:48:51I can use Ben.
00:48:52You know what?
00:48:53I am the only guy Eric Bischoff cannot fire.
00:49:02So, you Eddie Munster look-alike.
00:49:07You ever seen him without a shirt?
00:49:09Looks like Mick Jaggers from the Rolling Stones,
00:49:11coming out here trying to scare us.
00:49:13Since I'm the commissioner and I do love war,
00:49:19we're gonna have to change a few things here.
00:49:23First of all, Sammy Sosa.
00:49:29We are following your lead and taking it to war.
00:49:39When Bischoff comes out here and Hogan comes out here,
00:49:43I can't tell which one's Bill Clinton and which one's Hillary.
00:49:47Hillary.
00:49:48Or which one has the dress?
00:49:53I say this.
00:49:58Diamond Dallas Page has been working too hard.
00:50:02He needs two guys to join up with him.
00:50:05I myself say, I will be the first to join you at war games.
00:50:11But let's make a dream team.
00:50:17We don't need resolutions.
00:50:20We need a revolution.
00:50:23War.
00:50:24War.
00:50:25War.
00:50:26War.
00:50:27War.
00:50:28War.
00:50:29War.
00:50:30War.
00:50:31War-ya.
00:50:32War-ya.
00:50:33War-ya.
00:50:34War-ya.
00:50:35Before this program is over.
00:50:38War.
00:50:39War.
00:50:40War.
00:50:41War.
00:50:42Before this program is over,
00:50:44I am going to use all my powers to make the greatest dream team you have ever seen.
00:50:52And what the heck.
00:50:54Let the games begin.
00:50:57I say, we make them feel the best.
00:51:03All right.
00:51:09Let's go back to Mike today and the Living Legend guys.
00:51:13What about this?
00:51:14He's in.
00:51:15Well, according to Piper, they can't fire the commish.
00:51:20He's talking about war.
00:51:22He claims that before tonight's Nitro broadcast is over,
00:51:26he's going to form Larry Zabisco, the greatest dream team ever for the war games.
00:51:32And a dream team it will be.
00:51:34We're talking about the warrior time in Dallas Page and one of the last real men on the face of the earth.
00:51:41Our own commissioner.
00:51:42His fans got power.
00:51:44We'll see how mighty Bischoff's pin is now.
00:51:48Will the warrior be able to launch that revolution?
00:51:51We'll find out tonight on Nitro.
00:51:53We're back and gentlemen, that was spectacular being out in the ring with Piper and Page.
00:52:02And I don't think there's any question.
00:52:03Piper has said, I'll be your man.
00:52:05I'll be on team WCW.
00:52:07Libby led you to talk so much about tradition.
00:52:10Coming to the forefront, rising to the occasion.
00:52:13We saw a glimpse of it.
00:52:14But he also chanted the name of Warrior and started that chant.
00:52:18You know, Piper's always come through for WCW.
00:52:20The question is, will he come through tonight?
00:52:22And Warrior joined that team.
00:52:24Well, we'll find out, Libby.
00:52:26Roddy Piper will do everything in his power.
00:52:28And he has the power.
00:52:30He is immune to the curse of the Bischoff and his almighty pin.
00:52:36Well, we are looking now at the monster of the Midway himself.
00:52:41Steve, Mongo, McMichael, an all-pro in the city with the Chicago Bears.
00:52:46And, uh...
00:52:47Midway, he's the midway handle there.
00:52:50Yes, he is.
00:52:51What a great homecoming for Steve Mongo, McMichael, here at the United Center in Chicago.
00:52:56Still flashing the four fingers.
00:52:59Still has the four horsemen reunion.
00:53:01The rebirth on his mind.
00:53:03What an ovation for Mongo.
00:53:06So many years, a mainstay at Soldier Field.
00:53:11There's his opponent.
00:53:12He's talking about opposite sides of the spectrum.
00:53:14Tradition.
00:53:15Wanting to be rekindle the horsemen.
00:53:18And then you look at Riggs.
00:53:20Wow.
00:53:21Yeah, representing a group, the flock, that totally spits in the face of everything that tradition stands for.
00:53:25Well, I tell you, when you look at a guy like Riggs, you understand he has no tradition.
00:53:28He has no tradition in his blood.
00:53:30He does what everybody else today does.
00:53:32They stick with earrings in their eyeballs.
00:53:34They put ball bearings in their tongues.
00:53:36They tattoo their bodies.
00:53:37Why?
00:53:38Because everybody else like them does.
00:53:41No individuality.
00:53:43No soul.
00:53:44No manlyhood.
00:53:45I understand where you're coming from.
00:53:47Peer group pressure of peons.
00:53:49Not everybody does that though, Larry.
00:53:51No.
00:53:52Not everybody.
00:53:53Riggs did.
00:53:54Does your kids do that?
00:53:55Does Big Mike do that?
00:53:57They don't have a choice.
00:53:58I didn't think they would.
00:54:00The living legend is her father.
00:54:02Back to the corner now.
00:54:03And Mark Curtis trying to separate things.
00:54:06And Riggs trying to take the fight right to Steve Michael McMichael.
00:54:09Ladies and gentlemen, can you believe what we have already had for you here tonight?
00:54:13With Kevin Nash and Goldberg agreeing to be a team later on tonight live on this program.
00:54:18Against Hollywood Hogan and the Giant with Booker T returning to action to face Bret the Hitman Hart for the US title.
00:54:25Live tonight on this program with the revolution continuing.
00:54:29And Piper's able to be a part of DDP's team.
00:54:32Even though Bischoff with the pen has said otherwise to the Warrior being on the WCW team.
00:54:39It's all transpiring happening before our eyes here tonight on Nitro.
00:54:43Well, I think we all expect the Warrior to step up to the plate and join Team WCW.
00:54:49But Eric Bischoff's presence obviously puts that revolution launching in jeopardy.
00:54:55Yeah, but Piper's presence could counteract that.
00:54:59We'll find out.
00:55:00Riggs grabbing the trunks of Mongo, pulling him forward and through the ropes down to the floor.
00:55:06Can't deny that Riggs is certainly a man who is, even though he's become a member of the flock,
00:55:12was before that as Saturn mentioned on WCW Saturday night.
00:55:16A fine wrestler, a tag team champion at one time, Mike.
00:55:19And while Riggs is not involved in the matchup at Fall Brawl between Saturn and Raven,
00:55:24well, I guess he is in a sense, isn't he?
00:55:26Yes, he is.
00:55:27Because if Saturn is successful and defeats Raven, then the flock is going to be set free.
00:55:31But on the other hand, should Raven be successful and knock off Saturn,
00:55:35then Saturn has to not only return to the flock but be subservient to the boss.
00:55:40Into the ropes, duck in.
00:55:42Elyria!
00:55:43Great dropkick by Riggs.
00:55:44And that put the big man down on his back and a good move.
00:55:47You know, Riggs is a good athlete.
00:55:49He's got ability.
00:55:50Too bad he can't look in the mirror and realize his image is missing.
00:55:53Oh, got him one count.
00:55:55Two count, actually, that time.
00:55:56And he's arguing, well, his image is the image of Raven.
00:56:00I mean, if you take a look at the members of the flock,
00:56:03they have all tried to imitate Raven in one form or the other,
00:56:06be it a visual, the way they look, the way they act, the way they don't bathe.
00:56:10I mean, they've all been guided by this man.
00:56:13And if Saturn wins the match coming up at Fall Brawl,
00:56:16I tell you, the flock's gonna be a misguided group, to be honest with you.
00:56:20You're gonna have a bunch of birds flying around in a circle.
00:56:23Yes, you will.
00:56:25Nowhere to go.
00:56:26Nowhere to go.
00:56:27Which way is south?
00:56:28Mongo trying to go north, trying to get back to his feet.
00:56:30A snapmare takeover here.
00:56:32And a rear chin lock applied by Riggs.
00:56:34So Riggs now content with driving Mongo down to the mat.
00:56:37We saw earlier, we saw Dean Malenko.
00:56:41We talked about Malenko's problems that he's had with one Kurt Hennig
00:56:44and how Malenko and Mongo have been on the same page.
00:56:47But that's really been about all as far as men coming to the forefront.
00:56:52wanting to regroup the horsemen.
00:56:54Well, that's been the extent of it.
00:56:56However, they did contact Arn Anderson.
00:56:58Double-A said that he still has the fire.
00:57:01And if it was his choice, he would still be a part of the horsemen.
00:57:04But he just no longer is physically able to compete at that level.
00:57:07He's got the fire.
00:57:08He just doesn't have the neck.
00:57:11Look at that.
00:57:12Throwing the four horsemen down.
00:57:14And that brought some boos out from this sold-out crowd
00:57:17here at the United Center.
00:57:20And that brings Mongo also back as he rises up.
00:57:23A backhand shot that caught him firmly in the solar plexus.
00:57:26And now as he rocks Riggs back, Riggs comes back with a knee
00:57:29and Riggs has come to fight here tonight.
00:57:31Well, Mongo's going to have to start using his brain here.
00:57:34Again, Riggs isn't bad.
00:57:35Mongo depends a lot on what he depended on in football.
00:57:39Power, an explosive, you know, large, strong body, good balance.
00:57:43But here you're going to have to use some science here.
00:57:46And Riggs is no dummy.
00:57:49Well, you two are under the impression that if the flock
00:57:52is all of a sudden set free after Fall Brawl,
00:57:54they're going to be in trouble.
00:57:56Who knows?
00:57:57Maybe that freedom is what they need to turn them around.
00:57:59Some great athletes in the flock.
00:58:00Well, here's my take on it, Mike, as he missed the elbow.
00:58:03Had the flock wanted to be free, they would have been free by now.
00:58:06I mean, they're what, five or six?
00:58:07If you wanted to be free, you wouldn't join them.
00:58:09Well, that's right, and Raven is one man.
00:58:11So I really think that this is a freedom if they get it.
00:58:14Here's a cover, one, two, that they really maybe don't want to have.
00:58:17And that's just an observation.
00:58:19You never know.
00:58:20We'll see what happens on the 13th of September in Winston-Salem,
00:58:23North Carolina at the Lawrence Joel Ventures Memorial Coliseum
00:58:27and only on pay-per-view.
00:58:28A knee made the midsection of Mongo.
00:58:31And give the man his credit.
00:58:32I mean, here comes Mongo back to his old stomping ground.
00:58:35At the United Center in this great sports city.
00:58:38And the man is taking the fight right to him.
00:58:40The man being Riggs.
00:58:41Oh, but Mongo, into the three-point stance.
00:58:44There's that explosiveness a big man has in Mongo.
00:58:47Over 300 pounds of him.
00:58:49That doesn't need to hit you too many times.
00:58:51One good one's enough.
00:58:53Shades of Soldier Field with those two tackles.
00:58:56Went for the tombstone, but it was blocked by Riggs.
00:59:00Back up against the ropes and Riggs after blocking it.
00:59:03Follows it up with a kick in the midsection.
00:59:05Mongo holds his ground.
00:59:06Mongo picks him up.
00:59:08Now he's got him set for the spike.
00:59:10There it is.
00:59:11The Mongo spike.
00:59:12One, two.
00:59:13This one's over.
00:59:14He does it so hard, and he brings the black side of his eye.
00:59:17Watch out.
00:59:18We see it.
00:59:19You can see Hoss with the stop sign.
00:59:22Sick Boy with him.
00:59:24Mongo!
00:59:25He knocked him right out.
00:59:27Smack down that Mongo.
00:59:29Yeah, stop sign weighs like 30 pounds.
00:59:31As cold as a wedge, he's down.
00:59:33And this is, these kicking and choking tactics are an afterthought.
00:59:37The man's out cold.
00:59:38The man is out cold.
00:59:40And Dean Malenko has arrived.
00:59:44Locker room area.
00:59:49They saw him.
00:59:50Horace got him.
00:59:52In.
00:59:53Malenko goes in and sends Horace down.
00:59:56Horace.
01:00:00And now Sick Boy's got Malenko.
01:00:02But not firmly enough, I don't believe.
01:00:04As Mungo tries to get to his feet.
01:00:06Malenko's got Sick Boy.
01:00:08He's folding them legs.
01:00:09He's turning them over.
01:00:11If anyone anywhere wanted a symbol of a horseman trying to get back together,
01:00:17this is it.
01:00:18Coming in.
01:00:19Coming out your fellow man.
01:00:21And Saturn has come in.
01:00:24Why is Saturn doing this?
01:00:26What does he have to gain from this?
01:00:28Maybe Saturn wants to have the glory of freeing the flock.
01:00:31I don't know.
01:00:32Saturn diving towards Horace, who threw the stop sign at him.
01:00:37And I believe that stop sign caught him.
01:00:39And meanwhile, you see Mungo together with Malenko trying to fight off the flock here.
01:00:46Well, one thing we know, there's unity between Malenko and Mungo.
01:00:51We're halfway there to the four horsemen.
01:00:56Now you see it.
01:00:57The sign in the air.
01:00:59These two have been on the same page.
01:01:01These two have stayed at the same motive for a long time.
01:01:04And Mungo wants to start it right now.
01:01:06Well, Mungo wants him to give the sign, but Malenko knows that he's not officially a member of the four horsemen.
01:01:12That's true.
01:01:13Mungo was a horseman.
01:01:16But there are no horsemen right now.
01:01:18Well, there may be two.
01:01:20There's a handshake by Malenko.
01:01:22And quickly, Malenko walks away.
01:01:27Oh, my goodness.
01:01:33What a night it's been, Mungo.
01:01:37The horsemen come back to Chicago, and we will fight just like the horsemen should in my hometown.
01:01:45The fans are going to come tonight.
01:01:46Goldberg and Big Sexy the Giant Killer together against the Giant and Hollywood Hokies.
01:01:51And it reminds you that this Friday, August 28th, tickets go on sale for our next big event in Baltimore in the arena.
01:01:57That day will be Friday, September 25th.
01:02:00You can meet Diamond down the stage, the lovely Kimberly of the Nitro girls at the Baltimore Arena this Friday from 10 a.m. to noon,
01:02:06with tickets go on sale for Friday, September 25th.
01:02:09Big day in Baltimore.
01:02:10And when Kimberly gives Diamond honey-do's, he does them.
01:02:14We'll be back on Nitro.
01:02:15Stay with us.
01:02:20I come here, Hogan, to tell you, next week, I intend to launch a revolution.
01:02:28Not even you can control.
01:02:35And next week is here.
01:02:37Ladies and gentlemen, we continue live on WCW Monday Nitro.
01:02:41And we're joined by the one and only Bobby the Brain Heenan.
01:02:45Brain, tonight, so much has gone on in only half of the program,
01:02:49including the fact that Goldberg and Kevin Nash, can you believe this,
01:02:52will be a team later on tonight against Hollywood Hogan and the Giant in our main event.
01:02:56Did you ever think you would see that team together?
01:02:58No, I never did.
01:02:59I was back in the production office when that was announced,
01:03:01and everybody there just got up.
01:03:03They couldn't believe it either.
01:03:04This is one heck of a main event for Nitro.
01:03:06And also, the comments from one rowdy, Roddy Piper Interim Commissioner, if you will,
01:03:12stepping up to the plate like DDP says.
01:03:15These two men together, and they had the chance starting to Warrior.
01:03:18They want Warrior to join this team, even though Bischoff says he's in charge.
01:03:22He'll dictate who can wrestle and who can't.
01:03:24Well, Bischoff has his little pen, but Piper says I'm the only man he can't fire.
01:03:29So let's just see what happens here.
01:03:31Oh, he's not.
01:03:32Here comes one of the most powerful, one of the most scared men in NWO Hollywood.
01:03:37It's Scott Norton along with Vincent to face another big man, Rick Fuller, in this next matchup here, Mike.
01:03:43Well, this may be the most powerful, active wrestler in professional wrestling today,
01:03:49talking about Big Scott Norton.
01:03:51Ready for this?
01:03:52A 650-pound bench press from Scott Norton in his background to face Big Rick Fuller.
01:04:01Scott Norton going to be put to the test, at least on a physical situation.
01:04:04How much?
01:04:05650.
01:04:06You mean they have benches that weigh 650?
01:04:08Oh, no.
01:04:09No, the weight.
01:04:10Are we going to start this already?
01:04:12You haven't been out here.
01:04:13I just asked a question.
01:04:14You haven't been out here two minutes.
01:04:15You know what a bench press is.
01:04:16That long?
01:04:17You know what a bench press is.
01:04:18Yeah, suit in your pants, though.
01:04:21No, I know what a bench press is.
01:04:23600 pounds, over 600 pounds.
01:04:25It's going to take three men to spot him, I can tell you that, if he needs it at all.
01:04:29Back in the corner, the thing about Scott Norton is he is one wrestler,
01:04:33and you saw the sign from one of our fans, it said, Unleashed Norton.
01:04:36He is a wrestler that knows what his strong points are, knows what it takes to win a match,
01:04:41and what it takes to completely dominate an opponent, and he's one of the men that can
01:04:45Oh!
01:04:46Just using that immense upper body strength he's got, Mike.
01:04:49Up into the fireman's carry, and then just drops Rick Fuller.
01:04:52Keep in mind, we're looking at Rick Fuller, an athlete who's well over 300 pounds.
01:04:57And how about that?
01:04:58He had the big foot, and when he kicked Norton, it almost knocked him down.
01:05:02But he's away with a great, and Norton pops back up.
01:05:04Look at this.
01:05:05How do you get up from a clothesline like that?
01:05:07That's Norton.
01:05:08Norton just shut out the pain, and he ducks in the belly to back.
01:05:11Oh, my goodness.
01:05:13I think you can knock Norton down.
01:05:15That's been proven.
01:05:16I don't know if you can hurt Norton.
01:05:17I don't know if you can keep him down.
01:05:18I don't know.
01:05:19Uh-oh.
01:05:20Norton...
01:05:21Norton's gonna...
01:05:22Oh, and a powerbomb.
01:05:23Now, Rick Fuller's over 300 pounds with ease.
01:05:26He picked him up that time.
01:05:28And you're gonna cover it, and he's gonna beat it.
01:05:32And Scott Norton completely dominates and walks through yet another opponent
01:05:37here on WCW Monday Nitro.
01:05:39Get up!
01:05:40Total physical domination.
01:05:41Scott Norton's winning streak starting to add up.
01:05:44I was just gonna say, it's nowhere close to Goldberg's, but give it time.
01:05:48And of course, he's a member of NW Hollywood, the white and the black.
01:05:53In your order.
01:05:56Welcome back to the house that Hollywood built!
01:06:01Hey, yo.
01:06:04Don't sing it.
01:06:07Bring it.
01:06:09N-W-O.
01:06:14I love each and every one of you.
01:06:16Thank you very, very much.
01:06:18One more for the good guy.
01:06:22There's nobody that looks as good as I do to make Bubba Bubba.
01:06:36When you belong to the NWO, you're NWO Paul Ryan.
01:06:44I'm Bubba and I'm still the stuff.
01:06:48If anybody wants a piece of meat, bring it on.
01:06:54We're gonna take care of the family business.
01:06:58Black and White Hollywood is just two.
