00:00:00Your horseman, coming up next.
00:00:30All right, we are on the shank of another Monday evening.
00:00:58As promised, ladies and gentlemen, they are back together again in upstate New York, across
00:01:07the country and around the world.
00:01:09Please welcome the four horsemen.
00:01:15It truly is a magical moment.
00:01:19Anytime they're announced by Gene Okerlund, anytime they make their way to the ring, the
00:01:26legacy of the horsemen.
00:01:28What they've meant to this sport, and where they're gonna take the sport.
00:01:33As far as WCW is concerned, here they are.
00:01:37My, my.
00:01:40Milenko, Mongo, The Enforcer, The Crippler, and
00:01:46the 13th time, former heavyweight champion of the world, The Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
00:01:55Tony, guys, as you point out, a couple of bills at ringside tonight, loving this.
00:02:04Well, I bet they are, Gene.
00:02:06There's a lot of athletes from all different sports who have been Ric Flair fans for years,
00:02:13who are WCW Monday Nitro fans.
00:02:15We have Bobby the Brink, he ended up in a broadcast location with us.
00:02:19What an exciting night, Brink.
00:02:20Boy, it certainly is, you know, you don't know if it can get any better, but every week
00:02:24here on Nitro, it just keeps getting better and better and better.
00:02:27It's great to see The Horsemen along with Arne Anderson back together again.
00:02:33Oh, yeah.
00:02:42I would have to say it is unanimous.
00:02:46The Horsemen back together again.
00:02:48Arne Anderson, you wield a pretty strong tire iron, my friend.
00:02:54And Ric Flair, welcome back to God's country.
00:02:57Mead.
00:03:01Woo, gee, here we are.
00:03:07I believe we are in Rochester, New York.
00:03:13Woo.
00:03:15I believe we got trouble too.
00:03:17Billinger don't look happy.
00:03:18And it is before we are feeling alive, well, and looking so good, whoo.
00:03:28What is this, just a second, Eric Bischoff, Stevie Ray.
00:03:33Welcome back, God, God is back, whoo.
00:03:45And in case you haven't noticed, I brought a few of the local law enforcement with me
00:03:51because you, my friend, committed felonious assault on this man on Thursday.
00:03:58You know it, I know it, and the world knows it.
00:04:03So here's how it's going to go, because none of these people want to hear another word from you.
00:04:09Trust me.
00:04:10I want local law enforcement to step forward.
00:04:18I want you to take this man, this man, this man, and this disgrace to the wrestling business.
00:04:28Oh, my.
00:04:30And I want you to escort them along with this man, since you failed to do your job last week.
00:04:38I brought a little help to make sure you got it done this week, and get them the hell out of my building.
00:04:44And you can do that now, thank you very much.
00:04:47Good night, gentlemen.
00:04:52This is my show, remember?
00:04:58Well, unfortunately, this has all come to a stop.
00:04:59Good night, gentlemen.
00:05:01Can you spell felonious assault?
00:05:06Let me help you out, Iron.
00:05:07It's like a knock on the head.
00:05:10Good night, Iron.
00:05:12You're done.
00:05:13The fans, with their response, but wouldn't it take some of the police force from Norfolk, Virginia, to lock him up?
00:05:30Bye, Rick.
00:05:32Bye, Dean.
00:05:34Good to see you again.
00:05:36Hey, Mongo, see you next time.
00:05:40Hey, they're going to like you in prison.
00:05:43Well, the Horseman, Doug Dillinger included.
00:05:50Did you ever think you'd see Doug Dillinger being led away by a police officer?
00:05:56It's something I've wished for.
00:05:58No, brain.
00:05:59Come on, this is the head of WCW security.
00:06:02Now that we got back taken care of, legally, professionally, and in the eyes of the law,
00:06:12Bye, Rick.
00:06:14Waffle House is just down the road, guys.
00:06:17Come on back here, Tony.
00:06:18Asshole, asshole, asshole, asshole.
00:06:22Now that we got that taken care of, and Stevie, I know you wanted to take him out your way,
00:06:29but trust me, following the letter of the law is always better.
00:06:33Hey, and Ric Flair, when I said you're a disgrace, you're a disgrace because you use your 10-year-old
00:06:41Kid Reed in his wrestling tournament as an excuse not to show up and work because you were a coward
00:06:50then, and you're a coward now, and you're living vicariously through your 10-year-old son's wrestling career.
00:07:00Well, you know what?
00:07:01Wow.
00:07:02I hope little Reed Flair can get it done, Ric, because you never will.
00:07:09Good, y'all.
00:07:10Thanks for coming to my party.
00:07:14Really hitting below the belt here.
00:07:16Thank you all very, very much.
00:07:18I feel nothing but love for each and every one of you, and thank you for holding back.
00:07:25He pulled the stroke, didn't he?
00:07:27He got him out of the ring.
00:07:28How about it?
00:07:29Jericho wants Goldberg nothing.
00:07:33Now wait, and hang on a second, there's a story about that.
00:07:36And you've been hiding, you've been twirling like a scary puppy in the showers because you're afraid to fix these.
00:07:42But tonight, tonight since you're so cordial, you're giving me a shot for your belt,
00:07:47which are something that's going to destroy you for.
00:07:49I mean, this is a shock because Steve just fell in W. Smith's history,
00:07:54the World Television Unified Heavyweight Championship.
00:07:58So let's see if he can last the way to offer tonight, even the last time we faced.
00:08:01Because if Jericho won, Goldberg nothing, jerky.
00:08:11I think maybe he has made the right turn this time.
00:08:15Yeah, there's no way he can get lost now.
00:08:17Don't bet on it.
00:08:19Well, as Jericho makes his way out to face Goldberg,
00:08:23Mike would have touched on Gary briefly some of the comments made by Eric Bischoff when he tossed the horseman in.
00:08:29Doug Dillard, you're out of here.
00:08:30Well, yes, Ric Flair did miss a thunder broadcast several months ago to accompany his 10-year-old son,
00:08:35Reed to the National Wrestling Amateur Championship in Pontiac, Michigan, which, by the way,
00:08:41Reed was victorious, winning in his age and weight group.
00:08:43Eric Bischoff slapped a breach of contract lawsuit on the Nature Boy, Ric Flair, at that point in time.
00:08:50Can you believe he claims that Ric Flair is living vicariously through his 10-year-old son?
00:08:56The man is just a proud parent.
00:08:58That's all, Tony.
00:08:59Like many of us are, and if anybody knows how to hit below the belt, it's Eric Bischoff.
00:09:07He's the master of that brain.
00:09:08You know, if you don't think he has power, you're fooling yourself.
00:09:11Bischoff is a very, he's the most powerful man in this industry today.
00:09:15There's no question.
00:09:16There's no denying that.
00:09:18And we saw just an example of his power a few moments ago.
00:09:22Tonight, still to come, it's going to be Hollywood Hogan going one-on-one against Brett to Hitman Hart.
00:09:28But right now, they're standing and they're in unison chanting the name of the world champ, Goldberg.
00:09:35Talk about power.
00:09:36Talk about undefeated.
00:09:38What's his number, Mike?
00:09:39Talk about 146 and 0.
00:09:51Here he comes.
00:09:53Now, over his shoulder.
00:09:58Is that who I think it is?
00:09:59I think that may be the little man that Jericho used.
00:10:06And, oh bro, pretending to be Goldberg.
00:10:10And that's why Jericho said, Jericho won, Goldberg nothing.
00:10:13That's why he's got it on that t-shirt of his.
00:10:16Well, there's a Goldberg and a half.
00:10:17And guess what, Jericho and his crew, uh-oh, realization has sunk in.
00:10:27Oh, my goodness.
00:10:28So much for security.
00:10:30Goldberg, oh, my goodness.
00:10:41I like it.
00:10:44He don't care who you are.
00:10:45There's bodies everywhere.
00:10:47We're the sea of Goldberg.
00:10:51We talked about him being a proud world's heavyweight champion.
00:10:55Goldberg has just answered Chris Jericho.
00:10:58Where is Jericho?
00:11:00Jericho has run away, far away, maybe the Syracuse.
00:11:07Who knows?
00:11:08Goldberg's in the house.
00:11:09As we take out a look at this sea of fans here tonight, they are on their feet.
00:11:18And for good reason.
00:11:19Because my guest has got an appointment with Destiny on October the 25th at Halloween Havoc.
00:11:26Please welcome Diamond Dallas Page.
00:11:33And I would venture to say, based on the attitude and the intensity of Goldberg,
00:11:38that he's going to see Goldberg pumped up as never before.
00:11:43Goldberg had had enough of the charade by Jericho that started, oh, my.
00:11:48Back at War Games on the 13th of this month.
00:11:51And he did something about it a few moments ago.
00:11:54Pumped up, or in the words of Diamond Dallas Page, jacked up.
00:11:58Because you know that DDP is going to be ready for the opportunity of a lifetime at Halloween
00:12:03Havoc when he finally gets the world's heavyweight title shot that he deserves.
00:12:07Because he won War Games, he gets Goldberg in Las Vegas.
00:12:12Here he is.
00:12:13Well, they know each other, but I'm going to tell you something.
00:12:16Goldberg's going to see a new Diamond Dallas Page when he gets in the ring.
00:12:20A man more intensified than he's ever seen before.
00:12:27All right, I said an appointment with Destiny.
00:12:29Indeed, this man does have one.
00:12:31The man we saw just moments ago on this very television program will be his opponent.
00:12:36The WCW Heavyweight Champion of the World, Goldberg.
00:12:41Now, DDP, what I've seen in sports here in the last week and a half between Sammy Sosa and Mark McGuire,
00:12:48I think somewhat is appropriate for the situation between you and Goldberg.
00:12:55You're the guy that brought him into this business.
00:12:56You've done a great deal for him.
00:12:58There's a lot of respect there, a lot of mutual admiration.
00:13:01But I don't have to tell you this is going to be for the title.
00:13:05And all friendship aside, it's a payday in Las Vegas on October the 25th for either you or Mr. Goldberg.
00:13:12Well, Gino, thanks for the analogy, but I see where you're going with the respect.
00:13:18Two guys who respect each other, but have an incredible competitive nature.
00:13:24Now, this isn't like, like I said last week, it's not like I'm getting in the ring with someone I really hate.
00:13:31It's not like I'm getting in there with Randy Savage or Hollywood scum.
00:13:37That's a whole nother edge.
00:13:43Sosa, McGuire, I can see where you might see some similarities.
00:13:48Those two guys took each other to a whole nother level.
00:13:52And when I think about getting in the ring at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada,
00:13:59at Halloween Havoc with Goldberg, the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world,
00:14:08it takes me to another level.
00:14:11I get jacked to the moon!
00:14:13But I'm not the only one gunning for the title.
00:14:22A lot of this going on lately.
00:14:26You got the four horsemen back, and it looks like they're gonna be around for a while.
00:14:32At least it did before the show started.
00:14:34Then there's the red and black NWO, and they say they're forever.
00:14:43They want it.
00:14:45You got the black and white NWO, and they say they're around for life.
00:14:52And then you got me.
00:14:53I'm black and blue, I'm DDP, and at Halloween Havoc, I'm gonna be for real.
00:15:03Bam!
00:15:05All right, that pretty much sets it up.
00:15:07Just a few weeks away from Las Vegas Live on pay-per-view, Halloween Havoc, Goldberg, and DDP.
00:15:14A Monday night like none other.
00:15:16This is Thankful, and we're gonna be right back.
00:15:23We're back to wrestling action here, and before we get to the ring, we're going to walk here.
00:15:27A big event in the state capital of Ohio, Columbus at the Convention Center.
00:15:31Tickets available at the Box Office and Ticketmaster at Saturday, October 10th.
00:15:34Very next day, we're gonna be in Milwaukee at the Arena.
00:15:38That's Sunday, October 11th.
00:15:39Ticket to the Arena Box Office and Ticketmaster in Milwaukee.
00:15:42We're in El Paso, Texas at the Don Haskins Center.
00:15:46On Friday, October 23rd.
00:15:47Tickets available at the Center Box Office and Ticketmaster location for El Paso.
00:15:53And we've got two big on-sale dates you've all already heard about.
00:15:58We'll repeat them to you a little bit later on in this telecast, but, well, here we go.
00:16:03With our next matchup.
00:16:04And fans, as the excitement builds and the intensity grows, and the countdown kicks on,
00:16:11still to come tonight.
00:16:13You're gonna see the match you've never seen, you've always wanted to see, the world has waited for.
00:16:18Truly a clash of two of the biggest ever, Hollywood Hogan and Bret the Hit and Hart.
00:16:24Brain, we've talked about it so much during the first part of this program.
00:16:30I don't think they've ever met in the ring before.
00:16:33Tanay would know.
00:16:34No, they've never have.
00:16:35This is going to be history in the making.
00:16:37It's the match that Bret Hart has waited his entire career for.
00:16:42And has Hogan avoided him all these years?
00:16:44I just wonder.
00:16:45It's what the Hitman claims.
00:16:52Scott Hall looks a little better this week, wouldn't you think?
00:16:58It's just Monday.
00:16:59Yeah, not much, but.
00:17:02Hey, yo.
00:17:09One quick survey question.
00:17:14Is it taste great, or is it less filling?
00:17:18I think I need to repeat, and I'm gonna continue as a part of World Championship Wrestling,
00:17:33as a member of this broadcast group.
00:17:35Repeat the same statement that I think bears repeating over and over.
00:17:39We are saddened at his state.
00:17:41We do not condone his actions, nor his condition, coming into the ring.
00:17:45We hope the man will get help very soon.
00:17:48On the other side of the coin, here's a man who needs no help.
00:17:51A man who's become his own man, who's become quite a champion, I must say.
00:17:55Kidman makes his way to the ring.
00:17:57This should be a good matchup.
00:17:58The WCW reigning World's Cruiserweight Champion.
00:18:02A man who has gained so much success since cutting the ties with Raven and the flock.
00:18:09But what a test this is gonna be for Kidman against,
00:18:11certainly no cruiserweight in the 270-pound Scott Hall.
00:18:16And Scott Hall's taking on big Kevin Nash at Halloween Havoc.
00:18:19I would be wrestling a guy a little bigger if I was Scott Hall right now.
00:18:24But maybe he knows what he's doing.
00:18:26Yeah, he wanted a sip before he went in the ring.
00:18:29Vincent dropped down low, and Scott Hall, toothpick and all,
00:18:32will hook it up against Kidman here.
00:18:38Kidman not backing in at all here on any level.
00:18:47Kidman having a little fun at the expense of Scott Hall.
00:18:52It's a great, you know, Scott Hall seems to be a lot better shaped than usual
00:18:56than we've seen in the last couple of weeks.
00:18:57So far.
00:18:58And it goes back to this, Mike, today.
00:19:01We've said it often, Brain, you would agree,
00:19:03when Scott Hall is 100%.
00:19:06He's one of the toughest in our sport.
00:19:09Well, you aren't kidding about that.
00:19:11I would say one of the top 10 wrestlers in this sport right now.
00:19:17And Kidman's feeling every bit of it right here.
00:19:22Kidman's out match, there's no doubt about it.
00:19:24As good as Kidman is, he's no match for big Scott Hall.
00:19:28Well, he's a cruiserweight in a heavyweight matchup.
00:19:31Oh!
00:19:31What a massive beal that was out of the corner.
00:19:34Incredible maneuver.
00:19:35Just toying with Kidman at this point.
00:19:37Totally dominating the match.
00:19:39And Vincent again will not hand him the drink.
00:19:42Rolled up.
00:19:43One, two, and Kidman almost slipped in a three count.
00:19:47He ducks low, crowd kick.
00:19:49Watch this Kidman, he can surprise you.
00:19:51More than surprise your brain, he's quite a champion.
00:19:54Hooks on Hall.
00:19:56Slides down, good maneuver, one, two, but no, in the ropes.
00:20:03Scott Hall just turned around and decapitated the cruiserweight champion that time.
00:20:14And Kidman goes down in a heap.
00:20:17You know, we talked about the presence of NW Hollywood making their stand at the beginning
00:20:22the program, Eric Bischoff getting the security to run the horsemen out of the arena,
00:20:27along with the security man Doug Dillinger, and now what Scott Hall is doing.
00:20:32Coming up later, Bret Hart for the first time in his career will face a man, and you heard in his
00:20:37interview he always wanted to meet, Hollywood Hogan, and I wonder if the hot streak is going to
00:20:42continue through the night for NWO Hollywood. You know, a lot of times, Mike, we've seen it,
00:20:46momentum can build from one faction to another in the show.
00:20:50Almost as if NWO Hollywood reassessed their situation going into this Nitro.
00:20:55They claim they have something to prove, and tonight have totally dominated this evening's
00:21:00broadcast, and Scott Hall following up in the corner, putting the boots to Kidman.
00:21:05This is a mismatch.
00:21:06And it really is, and it is unfortunate, only because a heavyweight against a cruiserweight in
00:21:12many ways here, but once again, it just bears repeating that Scott Hall, seemingly in much
00:21:18better shape than we've seen him in about three weeks, showing us what he can do when he's 100%,
00:21:24or at least closer to it than he's been.
00:21:27You know, Kidman had a good game plan, drop kick, keep him off his feet, keep him going up and down,
00:21:32try to keep him level on the mat, but Hall's just too powerful, just too big a man.
00:21:37He's giving away, what, 50, 60 pounds to Scott Hall?
00:21:40How about the years, the years of experience Hall has?
00:21:43No comparison.
00:21:44You can't buy that.
00:21:45Well, one thing about it, win, lose, or whatever in this match for Kidman,
00:21:50he's going to gain some experience because you get in there with Hall.
00:21:53Hall is relaxed, he's always been an offensive-type wrestler, and he's showing us all about it right now.
00:21:59Working on Kidman in the corner, while he's down, stomping it, kicking it, trying to hip toss it,
00:22:03Kidman blocked it nicely, gut shot over the top, Kidman, uh-oh, Scott Hall caught him, oh!
00:22:09Choke slammed him down.
00:22:11He's not done with him yet.
00:22:12A little mockery to the Giant.
00:22:19This one's for you, G-Money.
00:22:20Gonna make it for his friend the Giant, right?
00:22:24Another member of NWO Hollywood.
00:22:26He and the Giant, of course, the World Tag Team Champions.
00:22:34And Scott Hall now is going to get a little break.
00:22:38So did Vincent.
00:22:39Yeah, Vincent did too.
00:22:40Vincent wiped out.
00:22:42Hall thinks it's Vincent.
00:22:48Oh, Kidman gets him in mid-sip.
00:22:53Talk about last call.
00:22:54Up on top, Kidman.
00:22:57On the money.
00:23:01Missile drop kick.
00:23:01Kidman's gonna bulldog it.
00:23:03Kidman's got him.
00:23:05He's got him rocking.
00:23:06He's got him wobbly, that's for sure.
00:23:08You don't know where Kidman is.
00:23:09He's up above.
00:23:11Crossbody Kidman.
00:23:12One, two, couldn't hold him down.
00:23:15Kidman surprised him.
00:23:22In, low bridge, caught him, watch out for the fall away slam.
00:23:29Perfect positioning, dropped him down.
00:23:32Looks like he hurt his kidney there.
00:23:34And I believe you're right, Bobby the Brain.
00:23:39From my vast medical experience and knowledge.
00:23:40Yeah, which, yeah, right.
00:23:41Which is about...
00:23:42I'm having the human anatomy.
00:23:43Which is about as vast as mine.
00:23:44He says that's it.
00:23:48It could be his edge, his outsider's edge.
00:23:51And let's see if he can put it on.
00:23:54One, two, go.
00:24:10Vincent gets nailed as he popped up to the ring apron, but then from behind,
00:24:15Scott Hall catches Kidman.
00:24:17Double axe handle, hit him in the back of the neck, just drove him down to that mat.
00:24:21He's gonna go for it again.
00:24:30He's got him up.
00:24:30Kidman trying to fight it off, but cannot.
00:24:34But can he do that to Kevin Nash?
00:24:36One, two, three.
00:24:38And he pins Kidman.
00:24:43Scott Hall is your winner, that's a big win for him.
00:24:45Kidman, of course, entering into the heavyweight division,
00:24:48will not lose the cruiserweight belt because he was resting a heavyweight here, but
00:24:55did give a heck of an effort against Scott Hall.
00:24:58It really was a game effort by the WCW World Cruiserweight King Kidman.
00:25:02But the power, the size, the strength advantage from Scott Hall, just too much in the end.
00:25:08Kidman turns him around and hits him right in the bread basket there.
00:25:13Here's your last call, punk.
00:25:15Throw Scott Hall back in the ring.
00:25:17Kidman comes up that top rope with a missile dropkick nails big Scott Hall.
00:25:22Kidman climbs those top ropes.
00:25:24The bulldog him.
00:25:26Could have had him here.
00:25:28I think if he'd have gone for the cover, things changed around for Scott Hall.
00:25:33He gets into the driver's seat and so much for Billy Kidman.
00:25:35You can get him a room.
00:25:36He's not going anyplace.
00:25:38Your winner, one half of the tag team champions of the world, Scott Hall.
00:25:43In this program, we're Hollywood Hogan and Bret the Hitman Hart will wrestle for the first
00:25:49time in history.
00:25:51You'll be able to see the history-making match when we bring it to you a little bit later on
00:25:56in this program, ladies and gentlemen.
00:25:58And what a program it's been already.
00:26:00The power of NW Hollywood, very apparent all throughout this program.
00:26:06Still more to come when we come back live from Rochester, New York on TNT and
00:26:12Monday Nitro.
00:26:16We're back for our third and final hour of WCW Monday Nitro.
00:26:20Boy, do we have the wrestling action that you've come to expect each and every Monday here.
00:26:25Including, look at that, Bryan Adams, Kevin Nash.
00:26:29How about that?
00:26:30One of the biggest and baddest in the inspection of the NWO.
00:26:34Lex Luger is going to come out here.
00:26:36And of course, Hollywood Hogan against Bret the Hitman.
00:26:40I'll read this right.
00:26:41Luger's got himself a handicap match as well.
00:26:45Two fine veterans and humorous and Barry Darso.
00:26:50That's all still to come in this program as we kick off our third and
00:26:55final hour of what has been a big night so far.
00:26:58We hear the music of the British Bulldog.
00:27:00Fans want to take just a few moments to send our condolences and our sympathy out
00:27:04to one of the finest production men and finest cameramen in this entire wrestling business,
00:27:09Al Eastman, whose mother passed away this week.
00:27:12He's back in Kansas City right now.
00:27:15She passed away on Wednesday.
00:27:16And Al, we want to see you back here real soon.
00:27:18We love you.
00:27:19We miss you.
00:27:20And sympathy goes out to you and your family.
00:27:28Well, the British Bulldog is out here.
00:27:29And I wonder, well, there's Alex Wright's music.
00:27:31I mean, Alex made kind of a challenge brain.
00:27:33He said, I want the Bulldog to come out here.
00:27:35And by golly, the Bulldog has made it out.
00:27:38Well, like JJ Dillon says, be careful what you wish for, you may get it.
00:27:45Looks like we have the answer to that challenge.
00:27:47Of course, Alex Wright this past Thursday on Thunder challenged the British Bulldog,
00:27:51but he wasn't even in Norfolk, Virginia at the time.
00:27:55But the Bulldog is in Rochester, New York, and he is going to face Alex Wright.
00:28:00And of course, Alex claims that he is the number one wrestler to come out of Europe.
00:28:05And this is going to be another chance for him to prove his theory.
00:28:12Now, Des Wonderkid, look at that stern look on his face.
00:28:15Did you hear the interview he had with Ocarlin?
00:28:18Yeah, I mean, he ragged on Ocarlin.
00:28:22Did the same to me on Thursday.
00:28:24What a jerk.
00:28:25You can dance all you want.
00:28:28You come out here saying you're wrestling the old Bulldog.
00:28:33Well, that's right.
00:28:34I've got an 11-year-old son back there.
00:28:38You can't even lace his boots.
00:28:40But I'm out here to tell you I've been all over the world.
00:28:45I've been to Germany.
00:28:46The fans in Germany love the British Bulldog.
00:28:50And you know what, Alex Wright?
00:28:52That means suck it.
00:29:05Bulldog is ready to go against Alex Wright.
00:29:09You can better believe somewhere in this arena in his own dressing room.
00:29:14Bret Hart is getting ready to go against Hollywood Hogan.
00:29:17Those two to collide, still to come.
00:29:21But it seems as if, I think it's very apparent,
00:29:24that Alex Wright kind of lit a fire in the British Bulldog here.
00:29:29British Bulldog always known to be one of the strongest men in this sport.
00:29:33Extremely powerful.
00:29:36Of course, Alex Wright out to prove his superiority over the other European wrestlers.
00:29:40Scored that win over Norman Smiley last Thursday on Thunder.
00:29:43But now he has to prove himself against the veteran, the British Bulldog.
00:29:48Shoves on Alex Wright, almost mocking Alex Wright, trying to get Alex a little bit upset.
00:29:54The Bulldog, one of the most powerful fans.
00:29:55We were handed a note.
00:29:57And I guess this bears bringing to you, it comes from our production personnel in the back,
00:30:02that Scott Hall has been doing a lot of celebrating in the back.
00:30:06He's been celebrating everywhere.
00:30:07He's been very obnoxious.
00:30:08And doing a lot of celebrating in the back about his win over Kidman.
00:30:14Didn't win the Cruiserweight belt because it wasn't a Cruiserweight matchup.
00:30:17But what do you mean by celebrating?
00:30:21Well, I know why he's celebrating.
00:30:23It's dark out.
00:30:25No, it's just the fact, I guess, that he won the match.
00:30:27But I mean, you know how Scott Hall could be.
00:30:29I mean, he's all over the back there.
00:30:30Just annoys everybody.
00:30:32He's into everything.
00:30:33Yes, he is.
00:30:34Well, I guess he has a reason to celebrate defeating Kidman as quite an accomplishment for anyone.
00:30:40Look at this maneuver, Mike, today.
00:30:41Going to try and rock back.
00:30:44Searching up in the air.
00:30:48There is nothing you can do in that hole but hope that the Bulldog gets tired.
00:30:52That's right.
00:30:53And the Bulldog, boy, the question was there whose shoulders were down.
00:30:58Yeah, Bulldog had to be careful at that point that the referee Billy Soberman didn't count his
00:31:02shoulders down, and that distracts Alex Wright to turn the tide.
00:31:06How about that, Brain?
00:31:06I mean, he leveled him with a right arm.
00:31:09Alex Wright's no slouch, there's no doubt about it.
00:31:11He's young, he's tall, he's thin, but he's in very good shape.
00:31:15He has a great knowledge of this ring.
00:31:17His father was a tremendous wrestler over in Germany.
00:31:23Alex Wright's nightmare takeover, and he sent the Bulldog down and measures the Bulldog here.
00:31:28Watch out, watch out, on the outside, this can't be good news for Davey Boy Smith.
00:31:36Alex Wright with a massive double axe handle along the chest, the sternum of the British Bulldog,
00:31:43Davey Boy Smith, back in he goes once again.
00:31:46I understand his mother was a wrestler.
00:31:50Alex Wright's mother was a wrestler?
00:31:52Wolfgang Wright.
00:31:53Tony, why did you even ask?
00:31:57Oh, one, two.
00:32:03What are you trying to?
00:32:04No, forget it.
00:32:05Big woman, but quick.
00:32:08Would stop it, snapped him over.
00:32:12Thank you for adding a lot to this match, Brain.
00:32:14Don't mention it, go up and get him.
00:32:18That's what he's gonna do.
00:32:20It's long dark time in Rochester.
00:32:27End of the attack, once again, the British Bulldog.
00:32:32Massive upper body, those big arms and chest, no.
00:32:36Kind of a defensive move that time by Alex Wright.
00:32:39Just draped him across the ropes.
00:32:41He's got a few eggs on his head now.
00:32:44I'm not sure when the British Bulldog came down, if he didn't make contact, maybe with his elbow to the head of Alex Wright.
00:32:50Bounced out of the corner.
00:32:52Referee gets a glancing blow.
00:32:56And there's that stampede maneuver.
00:32:57Nobody to count.
00:32:58Nobody to count.
00:32:59One, two, three.
00:33:01He's got him.
00:33:02Four, five, six, seven, eight.
00:33:07It's nine.
00:33:08He could have beat him three or four times right there.
00:33:14But the ref, and of course the Bulldog didn't realize what happened.
00:33:17Charles Robinson, referee has come out.
00:33:19I think he realized what went down.
00:33:22I would stay on Alex Wright until help came.
00:33:24I wouldn't let Alex Wright get a breather.
00:33:26A lot of times you don't know if help's gonna come or not.
00:33:28He's got a pick up and a good reach over the top.
00:33:32One, two, three.
00:33:33No.
00:33:34No, no, he got the, did he get the shoulder up?
00:33:35Wait, wait, wait here.
00:33:37We had two referees count.
00:33:42Uh-uh, that won't fly.
00:33:45Both wrestlers had their shoulders down on the mat.
00:33:49And an argument's going on, and I really think that Billy Silverman,
00:33:53the referee assigned, is the one that presides over this.
00:33:57Who's ever in charge of the match?
00:33:59And he raised the hand.
00:34:00Is he ringing the bell because the match is over, or is he gonna start the match again?
00:34:07We've got two referees, first time we've ever seen that, but this fight's going on.
00:34:12This match is over.
00:34:13The bell standard is to get the combatants out of the ring.
00:34:16Well, they gotta get together and talk this out and come up with a decision here.
00:34:22The argument goes on, and Mike, you're right to say that both wrestlers had their shoulders down.
00:34:28But Silverman saw, as what we saw, the shoulder coming up.
00:34:33Brain will let you talk through this one again to show the fans exactly what we're talking about.
00:34:38Bulldog catches him coming out of that corner.
00:34:40And Alex Wright's feet hit the referee. Bulldog is unaware of it.
00:34:44But then Alex comes up from behind, suplexed him.
00:34:47One, and they're both counting. Two.
00:34:51See, now Bulldog gets his shoulders up. Silverman sees it. The other referee does not see it.
00:34:55Yeah, but did Alex Wright get his shoulder up? Well, let's see.
00:35:01Yes. Almost simultaneously.
00:35:03They both got their shoulder up. They both win.
00:35:06Well, neither one lose.
00:35:08Then they both win. In effect, the right thing would be that the match would continue,
00:35:13but they both got their shoulder up. Incredible.
00:35:16You're gonna have to maybe go with the decision of the original referee.
00:35:20Didn't I say that earlier? Are you talking to me?
00:35:23Mug Root Beer. The phone goes straight to your brain. Sponsors our Nitro Party.
00:35:28We saw a Nitro Party winner from Utah earlier. Send your videotapes to one CNN Center,
00:35:32Peel Box 6 in Atlanta, 30303. And we can name you our Nitro Party Pack winner next week or in the
00:35:39coming weeks. We're gonna have another grand prize winner very, very soon.
00:35:43I like Root Beer.
00:35:45Thank you, Brain. We all like mug Root Beer.
00:35:49As the Nitro Girls come out.
00:35:51I like Nitro Girls dancing.
00:35:53Yeah, we do.
00:35:53Can you feel it in your body?
00:35:58Got a little duet here. In the center, Whisper and Spice.
00:36:03And all the Nitro Girls together. And there she is.
00:36:09Not only one of the nicest ladies, but also Spice probably has that million-dollar smile
00:36:15that has men weak in the knees. Wouldn't you agree, Brain?
00:36:19You know you're gonna find this hard to believe, but I've never taken a look at her kisser, really.
00:36:24Sorry about that. Spice, gorgeous lady, great smile, and a phenomenal dancer.
00:36:31She is cute.
00:36:32Yes, with her solo here on Monday Nitro. We'll be back.
00:36:35Shut up.
00:36:36Kevin Nash has been instrumental in this sport.
00:36:42And the red and the black surging ahead like they've done with the fans.
00:36:47No question about that, Tony. And he's gonna be put to the test this evening on Nitro.
00:36:51It's gonna be a battle of the big men, because Kevin Nash, Big Sexy, is gonna face this man,
00:36:58Brian Adams of the NWO Black and White.
00:37:02And I want to remind you that this coming Friday, October 2nd, tickets go on sale for our
00:37:06Friday, November 6th event in Charleston, West Virginia, the Civic Center Conosseum.
00:37:11Tickets at the Civic Center Conosseum box out is called Ticket Matches for Charleston, West Virginia,
00:37:16and another big on sale in Fort Lauderdale, that we'll talk about a little bit later on.
00:37:20But as we see Bryan Adams coming to the ring, we come back on WCW London Nitro, Big Sexy Kevin Nash will come out.
00:37:30It's gonna be a big battle of big men on either side of the shores of the NWO.
00:37:35The shadows have unleashed a forgotten soul, awakening the evil within, releasing the havoc that is Halloween.
00:37:56Snickers presents Halloween Havoc.
00:38:00Sunday, October 25th, live and only on pay-per-view.
00:38:04Call your cable or satellite company to order now.
00:38:06We approach the month of October knowing the 25th is the big night.
00:38:13Hogan cannot look past Bret Hart and you know he won't.
00:38:17He and Bret Hart tonight.
00:38:18Hollywood Hogan and the Warrior will finally get it on for the second time in history.
00:38:24Coming up at Halloween Havoc, and of course Goldberg, Diamond Dallas Pace, Scott Hall, and this man, Kevin Nash.
00:38:36Who is that with him?
00:38:40Maybe an uninvited visitor?
00:38:42Pitt McGuire's kid, he shows up everywhere.
00:38:45An overzealous fan, and that's what happens when Bischoff runs Doug Dillinger out of the building.
00:38:53Little lapse in security, exactly what goes down.
00:38:57But that's just a sample of the excitement that Kevin Nash has created, and the NWO Wolfpack has created.
00:39:05Well, it's going to be the battle of the former Outsiders Tag Team partners at Halloween Havoc.
00:39:11They've been on a collision course, and they are finally going to meet in Las Vegas, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall.
00:39:16I think down deep inside, Nash really wants to help Hall, but he's going to have to beat it into him, he said.
00:39:23Well, I think there's, and we've witnessed that there are many on either side that want to help Scott Hall.
00:39:29We all want Scott Hall to get help.
00:39:32We've seen Kevin Nash try and reason with Scott Hall.
00:39:36That hasn't helped.
00:39:39He's going to have to make it physical.
00:39:40Now he's got the microphone.
00:39:43Rochester, New York!
00:39:46Big Sexy in there!
00:39:55Sweet.
00:40:02And other members of the Wolfpack here as well.
00:40:05I think I said Luger earlier in a handicap match, and I was misinformed.
00:40:10The tag team match now.
00:40:13That's right, it's gonna be Conan and Lex Luger in a tag team match still to come.
00:40:16And of course, The Big One.
00:40:18Moments away, Hogan and Bret Hart live tonight.
00:40:22The bell, one slow ring.
00:40:29Ding.
00:40:31Almost to usher in the two big men to lock up.
00:40:35And they are big men.
00:40:39Boy, they are.
00:40:40Slip in and the super heavyweight division is all about.
00:40:44And in that corner, every man is small against Kevin Nash.
00:40:48Oh, he is so strong and so tough.
00:40:56Kevin Nash just unleashing that attack in the corner, knees, punches, big elbow connecting.
00:41:01And he's always in control.
00:41:03He's always in command in that ring.
00:41:05Doesn't rush anything.
00:41:06Takes his time, know what he's gonna do.
00:41:11Two or three moves ahead, he's always counting.
00:41:14You can just tell, he's one of those thinking man wrestlers.
00:41:19Not only that, he's always been.
00:41:22You know, there are many different personalities in professional wrestling.
00:41:26Boy, good move by Bryan Adams.
00:41:28Gonna get to that point in a moment, but Bryan Adams puts him down.
00:41:31Bryan Adams on the offense here.
00:41:37Anyway, back to the point, guys, so many different personalities in pro wrestling,
00:41:40but people are high-strung, they're excitable.
00:41:43But Kevin Nash has always, my goodness, always been very, very calm and laid back.
00:41:48Takes a lot to get him upset.
00:41:53And for Bryan Adams, didn't take much that time with a great move to get Kevin Nash out of the ring.
00:41:58Once again, we've seen a different level from NWO Hollywood tonight.
00:42:06Starting with the interview by Hogan.
00:42:09Challenge accepted by Bret Hart.
00:42:13Kick first goes Bryan Adams.
00:42:15And we just wonder if this will continue throughout the night.
00:42:18And what Bret Hart has in store for him later on here tonight live.
00:42:21Well, you know what, all the trouble with the warrior now showing up on the scene,
00:42:25and the trouble with the Bischoff's having with Ric Flair and the Horseman.
00:42:29Hogan's got a lot of things on his mind.
00:42:31So it seems like they've turned it up to a different level tonight.
00:42:35I mean, look at Hogan's situation.
00:42:36He has the warrior at Halloween Havoc.
00:42:38But tonight he has to face Bret the Hitman Hart.
00:42:43It's not easy.
00:42:43Well, it's one of the toughest.
00:42:45It'll be one of the toughest 30 days in anyone's career.
00:42:47Now it's in Bryan again, another big foot, that's two in a row.
00:42:55Here comes bad news.
00:42:56Stevie Ray.
00:42:57Now the NWO Hollywood enforcer, in his words, made him just go right into the ring,
00:43:02right in front of him.
00:43:03My goodness, it looked like he was gonna pick him up.
00:43:05Got that slapjack in his hand.
00:43:07Well, it looked like he was gonna pick him up for that jackknife, but
00:43:11that slapjack just whacked him right out is what it did.
00:43:14The man's out.
00:43:15Right in front of the official, Mick Patrick.
00:43:17They don't care about that.
00:43:18Now they're out to prove a point.
00:43:20They're out to injure Kevin Nash.
00:43:22Look who's here.
00:43:23Mr. Celebration.
00:43:25The party animal, Scott Hall.
00:43:28It must be happy hour.
00:43:30What purpose is this serving?
00:43:32The man's out.
00:43:43Whoa, how about that?
00:43:45Yeah, Mike, you're right.
00:43:48He's hammering away at Kevin Nash.
00:43:52Hopeless.
00:43:52It's Luger.
00:43:53Here comes the Wolf Pack.
00:43:57And we've got an NWO Donnybrook.
00:44:00There's Conan.
00:44:01At the mercy of NWO Hollywood, we'll be back with more live on TNT.
00:44:18Captain Celebration, Scott Hall.
00:44:20What a fight that was.
00:44:26Wrestling action only brought to you by WCW.
00:44:29I want to remind you, this coming Saturday to the third of October, tickets go on sale for
00:44:33Nitro coming to Fort Lauderdale on Monday, November 2nd at the brand new national car rental center in
00:44:39Fort Lauderdale.

00:44:59We're going to have fun in Lauderdale.
00:45:01We don't really care, Brian.
00:45:02All right, now, now Mike, a lot of the Buffalo Bills are here tonight.
00:45:06We talked about that in attendance.
00:45:08As the Wolf Pack comes out, Luger and Conan back out for another tag team matchup.
00:45:13And of course, we talked about how we have wrestling fans in every walk of sports around the world.
00:45:19So do you mention the NFL stars, how much they love Nitro in attendance here in Rochester, New York.
00:45:24Several members of the Buffalo Bills, including Chris Moore, Reuben Brown, Joe Panos, Robert Hicks, Jerry Ostrowski,
00:45:33also former Atlanta Falcon turned author and broadcaster Tim Green is in attendance.
00:45:38And we mentioned Jerry Ostrowski, who's a tackle on the Buffalo Bills.
00:45:42He actually played back in 1993 at the University of Georgia with none other than our world's heavyweight champion, Goldberg.
00:45:49He came up to me about, oh, I'd say two hours ago in the back.
00:45:52And he said, which end zone is yours?
00:45:55Hi, Bill.
00:45:57Flip on walk.
00:45:58What was his name?
00:45:59Arriba la raza!
00:46:02Oh, yeah, let me hear you say, oh!
00:46:05Na-na-na-na!
00:46:08All right, the black and white be talking about them for life.
00:46:12But Wolfpack, Somos Unos Vatos Locos for-
00:46:15More importantly than all of that, Rochester and the Wolfpack is bowdy, bowdy then.
00:46:22Bowdy, bowdy!
00:46:23So fresh after getting Big Sexy out of the ring and chasing away Scott Hall and those goons.
00:46:33Here's his tag team match, Humerus, Barry Darso against Lex Luger and Kodan.
00:46:39And I can tell you right now, they are in no mood to fool around, they being the Wolfpack here.
00:46:44The countdown goes on in the mere moments.
00:46:47Hollywood Hogan and Bret Hart will come out here to meet for the first time in
00:46:51professional wrestling history.
00:46:54The one match that you've never seen, that you've always wanted to see is imminent.
00:46:59It's gonna be so interesting.
00:47:02They've never faced each other before.
00:47:04Bret Hart has been thinking about this match since the first day of his wrestling career.
00:47:11What a chance for the Hitman tonight on Nitro.
00:47:14Kind of like it'll be a night people won't forget for a long, long time.
00:47:18There's a tag made and here they come.
00:47:22It's kind of like when number one thinks is number two in a big bowl game.
00:47:26All roads point to these two, and that's still to come in a few moments.
00:47:31Trying to hip toss, no, good maneuver by Darso, good counter move.
00:47:35Conan, a lot of intensity, a little bit too quick that time for Barry Darso.
00:47:40Well, he's a very quick man for his size, and like you say,
00:47:44the intensity level that Conan creates is almost unbeatable.
00:47:47Here he goes, Darso and Humerus working as a team,
00:47:52actually done, sending Barry Darso and watching the 300-pounder goes in.
00:47:57Nobody home there, and here we go with a ride to the far side.
00:48:01Rolling Larry at that time, and he clubs.
00:48:04Everyone, everyone now, was that?
00:48:06That was Jimmy Hart for a sprint measure.
00:48:07That was Jimmy Hart.
00:48:10Seated dropkick that time.
00:48:12Jimmy Hart came up in the split second, he was down.
00:48:16But his sunglasses didn't come off.
00:48:17How about that?
00:48:18Ties up the arm.
00:48:19Got him hooked here.
00:48:19Tequila Sunrise, and Darso cuts that off.
00:48:22Too close to the corner.
00:48:24No tag made, good switch.
00:48:27Great to see the unity of the NWO Wolfpack earlier
00:48:30when the red and black came out to save Kevin Nash.
00:48:33Darso plummets head first to the center of the mat.
00:48:40And reaches out for the package.
00:48:43They weren't good as a team.
00:48:44Yes, they do.
00:48:45You know, fans, earlier we saw Scott Steiner and his magnificent body.
00:48:48Come out.
00:48:49Torture rack.
00:48:50Here's another one, and he wastes no time lifting Darso up in the torture rack.
00:48:55Referee calls the bell.
00:48:57Darso's trying to turn, but it doesn't do him any good.
00:49:03Lex Luger is always one torture rack away from a victory.
00:49:08There's a Tequila Sunrise on Hubris just for good measure.
00:49:12Well, Conan wanted to put it on him, and he was determined to put it on him, and he did.
00:49:15He did.
00:49:17Yes, he did.
00:49:17Yes, he did.
00:49:21That's what determination will get you, Brain.
00:49:24I know that, and integrity.
00:49:27No excuse for it, no compromise.
00:49:30Keep talking yourself into a big hole.
00:49:32Go ahead.
00:49:32Get a load here at Conan, shoots big Hugh Morrison, almost takes him out of his shoes.
00:49:40Jimmy Hart's up, he's down.
00:49:42Everyone's getting taken care of here.
00:49:44Luger, so powerful, picks up Darso on that torture rack.
00:49:48He's trying to turn, but there's no way out of it.
00:49:50Conan's still determined to get the Tequila Sunrise on Morris, and it's over.
00:49:54Your winner, the Wolfpack, Luger and Conan.
00:49:58Thank you very much, Mr. Integrity.
00:50:01And when we come back, ladies and gentlemen, the wait is almost over.
00:50:05One of the greatest matchups ever will come your way live.
00:50:08Hollywood Hogan and Fred Hart, coming up.
00:50:11Okay, ladies and gentlemen, on the threshold of a monumental occasion in
00:50:20professional wrestling, and you're witnessing it live here on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:50:25This capacity crowd awaits their standing, two men that they've known for
00:50:30a long time, for many years.
00:50:33In a few moments, we'll battle one-on-one.
00:50:37We've said it many, many times, it bears repeating once again.
00:50:41They never before have met, which is incredible,
00:50:43when you think about the great careers they've had.
00:50:46How never before the match was booked, nor signed, nor executed in the ring between these two.
00:50:53But in a few moments, you're gonna see Hollywood Hogan.
00:50:58Well, leave it to WCW to put it together.
00:51:01And the question is, is it a coincidence that we've never seen this match before
00:51:06involving Hollywood Hogan and Bret the Hitman Hart?
00:51:09Or is it, as Bret Hart mentioned earlier tonight, that Hogan has been doing everything throughout
00:51:15his career to duck and hide from the Hitman.
00:51:22The Nitro girls out for another performance here.
00:51:24It's been a grand night.
00:51:25It's been a night that's been just chock full of great wrestling action, tag team action.
00:51:31A lot of things going on, and there's Michael Buffer in the ring.
00:51:34Michael.
00:51:36Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the WCW Monday Nitro Main Event.
00:51:45Tonight, the tradition continues.
00:51:48The tradition of spectacular superstar matches on Nitro's main event.
00:51:56Tonight, for the first time in professional wrestling history.
00:52:01It's the Hitman versus Hollywood.
00:52:05Are you ready?
00:52:06Rochester, New York.
00:52:10Rochester, New York.
00:52:12Are you ready?
00:52:19For the thousands in attendance and the millions watching around the world.
00:52:29Ladies and gentlemen, let's get ready to rumble.
00:52:42We look on here at this Blue Cross Arena, which is the War Memorial Arena,
00:52:48which has been revamped, renovated, and it looks spectacular downtown.
00:52:53You can better believe a lot of Canadian fans have come across the border here to see this.
00:52:58And I'm sure to cheer Bret Hart on.
00:53:00N.W.O.
00:53:04You know what does look better, Bret Hart?
00:53:07Ladies and gentlemen, making his entrance to the ring first.
00:53:12Wearing the black and white, the colors of the original New World Order.
00:53:17He weighs 274 1⁄2 pounds and comes to us from Hollywood, USA.
00:53:27He is, without a doubt, the most famous superstar, the most famous face in the history of professional wrestling.
00:53:37He is the leader of N.W.O. Hollywood and the self-proclaimed lord and ruler of all professional wrestling.
00:53:47Ladies and gentlemen, the one, the only, Hollywood Hogan.
00:53:58And what are we going to say, Bret Hart about Hollywood?
00:54:02Well, what's good about him right now is he doesn't have the world's belt around his waist.
00:54:07That makes me happy to see.
00:54:11But that does not stop him.
00:54:12Nope.
00:54:15And you know that's still his number one goal to regain the world's heavyweight title.
00:54:19He believes it's his.
00:54:27I got butterflies.
00:54:28I mean, this is an unexpected big, big matchup.
00:54:32Me too.
00:54:33We're sitting in on history.
00:54:34We are, and we're pumped up about it.
00:54:37And now coming to the ring, wearing black and pink, weighing 237 1⁄4 pounds,
00:54:45from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, the man who refuses to align himself with any affiliation or organization.
00:54:52He refuses to be the best there is, the best there ever was, the best there ever will be.
00:55:01Ladies and gentlemen, the master of the sharpshooter, Bret, the Hitman Hart!
00:55:09Just think for a moment about all the great matches each man has had.
00:55:17All the monumental events that they've been the main event on.
00:55:23And you're gonna put Monday, September 28th.
00:55:28Consider all the World Heavyweight Championship range between these two men.
00:55:32And you know that this is a moment that Bret the Hitman Hart has played and replayed over and over in his mind throughout the years.
00:55:40Will that fantasy of finally meeting Hollywood Hogan finally becomes a reality here on Nitro?
00:55:46Well, it's obvious with the size advantage that Hogan would be the more powerful of the two.
00:55:52But Hart has deceptive power.
00:55:54Hart is so, so very strong.
00:55:57You know, he's been wrestling since he could walk, so he knows every bit of leverage.
00:56:01He just is a tremendous wrestler.
00:56:05Grabs a side headlock as Hollywood Hogan tries to grind it into the temple off of the near side ropes
00:56:11and runs right over Bret Hart with your basic shoulder block takedown.
00:56:15And Hogan do a little showing up now, the Hitman here.
00:56:22Hogan's not backing up from him.
00:56:24Well, this night you can just feel it with the fans.
00:56:29It's an intensity, great takedown by Hollywood Hogan.
00:56:31How about that?
00:56:32Drop toehold, look at the ride into the front face lock.
00:56:35I think Hogan wants to prove that he can out wrestle the excellence of execution tonight.
00:56:40And I'm sure Bret Hart's willing to wrestle Hollywood Hogan on the mat.
00:56:44As a matter of fact, I know that that's a good point, Mike.
00:56:47That's what Hogan wants to do, but I think by doing that, he's playing right into Bret Hart's hands.
00:56:51That would have to be a huge advantage for Bret Hart, one would think.
00:56:55Now, Hogan's got to use the power maneuvers that he knows best.
00:57:01Don't change your game plan now, but I don't think there's any denial that Hogan can wrestle with the best of them.
00:57:07And he's so powerful, and you know the man will drop to any level to do whatever he has to.
00:57:13So that makes him extra dangerous.
00:57:14That's right.
00:57:15And sometimes, and unfortunately so in this sport, it gets down to who will go the lowest,
00:57:21sometimes who will prevail, and hopefully it won't get to that here.
00:57:24But here we go, continuing now.
00:57:26I don't know.
00:57:26I'd like to see it.
00:57:27I know.
00:57:28That's the way you are.
00:57:30Great move by Hogan into a cross arm breaker and a takedown, and they're in the ropes with Hogan
00:57:35cranking on the arm.
00:57:36Wow.
00:57:36Boy, he's fundamentally sound, isn't he?
00:57:40Hollywood Hogan is, I'm gonna be honest with you, it's not that we didn't think he could
00:57:44Matt Russell, just we didn't think he would.
00:57:46We're kind of surprised by him here, but he's come in with some great moves.
00:57:50See, that's why he's so dangerous.
00:57:51He can Matt Russell.
00:57:52He is a powerful man.
00:57:54He's a veteran.
00:57:54He knows everything to do in that ring.
00:57:56Plus, he's got a bunch of goons he hides behind, and he'll do his dirty work.
00:58:01Very, very dangerous.
00:58:02All right, he'll whip Bret Hart in.
00:58:03And he'll sit down with a running lary.
00:58:06Hogan is on top of his game here.
00:58:12Scoop slam now.
00:58:14It's been all Hollywood.
00:58:16Bret Hart moves out of the way.
00:58:18Bret Hart lures him in again.
00:58:19Avoiding it a second time.
00:58:21Three to the third.
00:58:23Now Bret Hart, after three misses, is back in with a hit of steam.
00:58:29Hogan threw the middle rope.
00:58:30But Hogan's gonna pull Hart outside with him.
00:58:35Boy, Bret Hart has to get dirty, that's what we talked about.
00:58:40Bricks in the eyes, sends his shoulder to the ring post.
00:58:44He was Hogan in that ring, he knows that's where he has to beat him.
00:58:50Hogan now trying to slow things down.
00:58:56He knows what he's doing.
00:58:57Another smart move by Hollywood, and Hollywood grabs the trunks.
00:59:01Part of the singlet throws him head first on the outside.
00:59:04Back out to Hogan's battleground, out on the floor.
00:59:10So many people he's injured here, and now he's moving the fans aside.
00:59:14Oh, going to the knee.
00:59:16That's the knee that was injured in the war games.
00:59:19Boy, Hogan's the master, isn't he?
00:59:21And that's what we talked about earlier.
00:59:23Would the knee hold up?
00:59:25Obviously, more blows like that, and the answer's gonna be no.
00:59:30And speaking of more blows like that, here it is again.
00:59:34And, oh my, I don't know if he can continue or not, but I really think that the sharpshooter
00:59:43may have been neutralized here, because he's such a very difficult move to put on.
00:59:48And you've got to sit down deep, flexing the knees in the process.
00:59:54That really is a great point, Tony.
00:59:55It takes away so much of Bret Hart's offense.
00:59:58And again, Hogan, totally, totally focused on the knee.
01:00:02Wrapping it around the steel post.
01:00:08The referee, Hogan, is just relentless.
01:00:13He's trying to break the leg.
01:00:15He's trying to blow the knee out is what he's trying to do.
01:00:18Don't forget, he picked up Bret Hart and dropped him twice on that guardrail,
01:00:21right on the back of the knee.
01:00:22And then tried to bend that leg around that post like a pretzel.
01:00:25Pretzel, pretzel, pretzel, pretzel, pretzel, pretzel, pretzel, pretzel, pretzel, pretzel.
01:00:29We're not gonna see Bret Hart get back to his feet much during the remainder of this match,
01:00:33and that's unfortunate.
01:00:36Not only were the blows on target, they were on a knee that was already
01:00:41severely injured.
01:00:42Look at the spinning toehold here.
01:00:45Hogan, there's a lot of different ways to hurt you.
01:00:47You're not kidding.
01:00:49That spinning toehold just grinds so much, it really turns a knee the way it shouldn't go.
01:00:55He shoves the referee, and that gives us a crystal clear message that he's in this thing to injure him out.
01:01:00Sting!
01:01:02Sting has come out, remember Hogan made a challenge to either Sting nor Bret Hart,
01:01:09and Bret Hart took the challenge.
01:01:12Sting pulls Hogan off.
01:01:16He's getting right up in his face.
01:01:17Bret Hart promised us that he would have someone to watch his back, and it's obviously Sting.
01:01:23So Sting.
01:01:29Conan and Lex Luger helping Bret Hart out of the ring.
01:01:35Yeah, that knee, that knee may be some early damage, but Hogan's trying to get back in the ring.
01:01:41They're trying to talk him out of it.
01:01:43Well, he's waited for this moment his entire career.
01:01:45Yeah, but you can't fight Hogan with one leg, Mike.
01:01:47He can't stand out of the leg.
01:01:51He can't be thinking straight in the heat of the battle.
01:01:55They've caught out some of the EFTs here, the medical unit, on hand.
01:02:00I don't think he, I'm sorry, I don't think he can stand.
01:02:05Sting, he's not even thinking about standing, he's thinking about wrestling.
01:02:09He's begging Sting, no, Mike, you're exactly right.
01:02:13It's a moment that he worked his entire life for.
01:02:17And Sting, by golly, disrobes, he'll take the match.
01:02:22But Hogan challenged both men earlier tonight.
01:02:26Well, like I said, careful what you wish for, you make it.
01:02:30And we're on to as a double hitter that we didn't expect.
01:02:34This is great.
01:02:36To the eyes.
01:02:41I mean, just think of the fight Hogan's put up with Bret Hart, and now look at him.
01:02:46And look at him.
01:02:47As we look on, in the bottom of your screen, Bret Hart still pleading with members of the Wolfpack.
01:02:53Conan and Luger are almost holding him down on the stretcher, trying to convince him.
01:02:58Well, that's a lot of determination.
01:03:02He wants to get his hands on Hogan real bad.
01:03:06Hogan executes the belly of the belt to perfection.
01:03:11I could beat up the whole Bretton Bucks at one time.
01:03:16Right now, he's got a lot of momentum, and he feels very good about himself.
01:03:20Bret Hart finally taking out beyond the curtain here.
01:03:23One, two, Nelser, a two count.
01:03:25And now we're watching Bret.
01:03:29We'll go with you.
01:03:30We'll go with you.
01:03:31What's up, Bops?
01:03:32We'll go with you, Bret.
01:03:34Come on, get on here, watch out.
01:03:35Now we're listening in, he's coding.
01:03:40What's this all about?
01:03:44Yeah, Bret.
01:03:46It's Scott Steiner.
01:03:49And I don't know who that other one is, but Bret Hart's trying to get off the gurney.
01:03:54He's hooked on there.
01:03:54Yeah, they got him strapped in.
01:03:56It's Bagwell.
01:03:57It's an idiot Bagwell.
01:03:59Doctors in the house.
01:04:00And Bret Hart, helpless now, on the gurney, they haven't even started on him.
01:04:09Get up.
01:04:12NWO black and white just dismantling the Wolf Pack.
01:04:15You want some truth?
01:04:19They unhooked him.
01:04:20They told him to get up.
01:04:22Bret Hart seems to be going back to the ring.
01:04:24And Hogan is going at him with Sting.
01:04:31And they're still on the floor, and now Sting's back into the ring.
01:04:34And I don't think, obviously Sting doesn't realize that Hart's limping back in the building.
01:04:39Here he comes.
01:04:41He just walked right by the announcer set.
01:04:44Bret Hart's on his way back to the ring.
01:04:46He wants Hogan.
01:04:48He wants Hogan.
01:04:49You know what they're doing?
01:04:53Watch out, big leg jump.
01:04:55Nobody hung.
01:04:56The white and the black realize exactly how much damage the knee had sustained.
01:05:05They want to take him out.
01:05:07Stinger splash.
01:05:09Here we go.
01:05:10Look at Bret Hart, he's at ringside.
01:05:12Got him hooked.
01:05:13Scorpion Deathlock.
01:05:15Bret Hart tearing Sting on.
01:05:17He's got him.
01:05:18My God.
01:05:19What did he do?
01:05:20He did E.T. Sting.
01:05:22What?
01:05:23What did he do?
01:05:24Sting was the man that helped him.
01:05:26The entire NWO tried to, and he's pummeling Sting.
01:05:31He's pummeling Sting.
01:05:32Is he ever?
01:05:33Hogan on his knees.
01:05:35Bowing to Bret Hart.
01:05:38Not the sharpshooter.
01:05:41It doesn't seem to me the knees bother him now.
01:05:44And look at Hogan.
01:05:46He's approving of the NWO.
01:05:49What did he do?
01:05:50Sting was the man that helped him.
01:05:53The entire NWO tried to, and he's pummeling Sting.
01:05:55He's approving of everything.
01:06:00And he's not letting go of the sharpshooter.
01:06:04They're gonna do some damage to Sting.
01:06:06There's no doubt about it.
01:06:07Nobody can stand the sharpshooter without running,
01:06:09without sustaining some injury.
01:06:18Well, the fans are stunned.
01:06:20I'm stunned.
01:06:21I don't know what to say.
01:06:22Got me.
01:06:24The same man who has to get this, is doing all of this.
01:06:29What in the world is going on?
01:06:39That steel chair right on the knee.
01:06:41On the kneecap.
01:06:42It'll shatter a kneecap.
01:06:43It could end a career.
01:06:45Well, he's in trouble.
01:06:47He's in big trouble.
01:06:49It's a night that the NWO Rock and White has just totally decimated the Wolf Pack.
01:06:54First the attack on Kevin Nash, then Conan and Lex Luger, and now Sting.
01:07:04Oh, what else can this maniac do?
01:07:13Oh, he's gonna slap that figure forward.
01:07:15Oh, no.
01:07:16The knee wrapped around the steel post.
01:07:19Sting gave up.
01:07:20Sting gave up.
01:07:22Sting gave up.
01:07:23Come on, Sting.
01:07:25Tell him to quit.
01:07:26Tell him, Sting.
01:07:28Tell him.
01:07:29Tell him.
01:07:30I quit.
01:07:31He said it.
01:07:32He said he quit.
01:07:34Well, I'm not.
01:07:39That happened awful quickly.
01:07:41I want to see the replay of this again.
01:07:45But a shocked crowd stands as, once again, NWO Hollywood has shocked us all.
01:07:54Has fooled us all.
01:07:56Conan on his way to the ring.
01:07:58Single-handed.
01:07:59Bret Hart has stabbed Sting in the back.
01:08:04Big time.
01:08:05And the fans as well.
01:08:07Big time.
01:08:12Conan, I think Conan's just trying to get in to get Sting out of there.
01:08:19There comes Luger, finally.
01:08:21Finally.
01:08:22Sting, who had come to the ring with a ball bat many weeks ago,
01:08:26who had trusted Bret Hart.
01:08:28Who was led, if I can use the old cliche, and I know we're full of him, but down the primrose path.
01:08:34Tony, we all bought it.
01:08:37He's holding Bret Hart's hand up in victory.
01:08:41Oh.
01:08:42Unbelievable.
01:08:46Unbelievable.
01:08:48Look at that.
01:08:49That is a disgusting picture right there.
01:08:53And the fans disgusted thumbs down.
01:08:57Boy, Hogan's having a good belly laugh at all of this now, isn't it?
01:09:03I don't like this.
01:09:07It just got dark in the building with the exception of the ring lights.
01:09:12I'll go get the car.
01:09:15Spotlight on Hollywood Hogan and his grand night.
01:09:24Disgusting fans, we are out of time on WCW Monday Nitro.
01:09:30Goodness.
01:09:31.
