00:00:00Right now, Eric Bischoff played J.J., and he wants to see him in the back.
00:00:07Right now.
00:00:07Oh, my goodness.
00:00:09I told you, and I told you again, when you came here, I would give you an opportunity.
00:00:14And I gave you an opportunity.
00:00:15And all you've done is screw it up.
00:00:18You tried to pump yourself up by finding Scott Steiner, making yourself important.
00:00:23And you screw up everything you touch.
00:00:25You were fired.
00:00:26I didn't send him out there.
00:00:27You were fired.
00:00:28You can run this madhouse any way you want.
00:00:30And you know I will.
00:00:30You can't fire me because I quit.
00:00:33My.
00:00:34Thank you so much.
00:00:35And I don't need the help to find a way out here.
00:00:37You're a professional wrestler.
00:00:38You can run this madhouse any way you want.
00:00:40You know I will.
00:00:41No, he's the only calling voice in the back, and Bischoff has fired James J. Dillon.
00:00:46You know why?
00:00:47He has too much power.
00:00:47$2.99.
00:00:48And he knows too much what's going on.
00:00:50That man right there, Eric Bischoff.
00:00:52All right, fans, as James J. Dillon gets in his car and leaves, and that's a startling sight,
00:00:58it really, in many ways, kind of pales in comparison to what went down moments ago.
00:01:03It was one of the shocking, most shocking developments in our sport.
00:01:07Bam Bam Bigelow, for a moment, held this entire program hostage.
00:01:12He took over this program, walked in the back, walked out of nowhere.
00:01:16And the most dangerous man in wrestling, Bigelow, called out the world champ, Mike Tanae.
00:01:23It didn't take long.
00:01:24One of the most dominant men ever in professional wrestling history, recognized as a heavyweight
00:01:29champion in other organizations, and he has absolutely turned Nitro upside down.
00:01:35It took 30, maybe 40 men to get between them, and they still could not restore the order.
00:01:41And one of the most shocking developments was the fact that Bischoff had come out there as
00:01:45well.
00:01:46Bischoff had had enough.
00:01:48Bischoff, who runs this company, saw what this was doing to this program.
00:01:52And Bischoff, as you saw moments ago, went from there with Dillon on the outside and
00:01:58fired James J. Dillon.
00:02:00Well, needless to say, there is still a lot going on here in the back locker room area.
00:02:06You know as well as I do, they did not just get rid of Bam Bam Bigelow that easily.
00:02:12He's gotta be somewhere here in this arena, and right now we're just trying to settle down
00:02:17and restore some order, but Bam Bam Bigelow, not a part of WCW, has arrived when the whole
00:02:24world turned upside down.
00:02:26Now the event is only six days away, but by golly, we're having our own war here tonight.
00:02:32And fans, we've been informed that as we speak to you and look out here in the arena
00:02:37live in the locker room area, more security has been called in.
00:02:41I think some of the local police here in Wichita have been called in to try to restore
00:02:45some order.
00:02:46I mean, listen, I'm speaking up as a WCW employee and an announcer on this brand program.
00:02:52We cannot just have any wrestler, anyone walk in the back and take over this program.
00:02:57But the fact that this man is so notorious is one of the most dangerous men in our sport.
00:03:04Bam Bam Bigelow is well-renowned, not only here in the United States, but all across the world.
00:03:09Internationally, Tony and gentlemen, we've been involved in some wild situations in the three-year
00:03:14history of Nitro, but I don't think anything is volatile or as hectic as that.
00:03:18He walked right out here, Mike, and called out Goldberg.
00:03:21And he got him too.
00:03:22A couple weeks back, I had a match with Eddie Guerrero.
00:03:26And right at the end of my match, when I was getting ready to beat Eddie Guerrero,
00:03:31K-Dawg comes running out here, the big Latino hero.
00:03:35He says, Satan, please let me take care of my people's problems.
00:03:42K-Dawg, all you did was come out to shamelessly plug yourself.
00:03:46Well, you're not going to plug yourself on my time.
00:03:49Come on, K-Dawg, let's you and I do it.
00:03:52Uh-oh, here we go.
00:03:54Well, I had a feeling when that went down a few weeks ago, there would be some retribution.
00:03:58Wait a minute, Perry.
00:03:59Here's what happened.
00:04:00I'm here to step on your toes.
00:04:02But you gotta understand, what Eddie's doing to the LWO is the same thing Raven did to the flock.
00:04:08I know you're a man of honor.
00:04:09Please let me handle this.
00:04:11This is not between me and Eddie.
00:04:13There'll be another day, another time.
00:04:15But Eddie, he ain't raza.
00:04:17He's just using these boys, Perry.
00:04:19He's just using these boys.
00:04:21What a lady!
00:04:23And he walked away that time, but Saturn will not walk away now as he and K-Dawg, Conan, of the Wolfpack go out of here on Nitro.
00:04:32There's some king-sized egos in the locker room of WCW and the NWL.
00:04:38And it's painfully obvious that Saturn did not like K-Dawg stealing his spotlight.
00:04:44Doesn't matter.
00:04:45They're gonna have to get it on right now, and let's see what they're gonna do.
00:04:49And fans, we certainly need to pay some attention to this matchup.
00:04:53It is two of the greats in our sport, but I can't help but think.
00:04:57Bam Bam Bigelow here?
00:04:59Yo, uh.
00:05:00Here tonight?
00:05:01Perry.
00:05:02How did that go down?
00:05:03I know you probably would like me to plug you, but I ain't.
00:05:07I'm gonna punk you.
00:05:08Now let me speak on this.
00:05:10Orale!
00:05:11Arriba la raza!
00:05:15Arriba la raza!
00:05:17Yo, you know the black and white be talking about that for life.
00:05:20But Wolfpack, somos unos batos locos forever!
00:05:25But more importantly than all that, we bowdy, bowdy.
00:05:29Bowdy, bowdy!
00:05:31Uh-oh, here we go.
00:05:32And he got clipped from behind to Saturn.
00:05:35Well, that was a good move by Saturn to get it going early, and here we go.
00:05:39And I don't know, but I think the startling appearance of truly one of the most dangerous men in the history of pro wrestling, Bam Bam Bigelow,
00:05:47has really turned up the intensity of everyone here tonight or not.
00:05:51Well, think of the repercussions.
00:05:53J.J. Dillon, the head of the WCW executive committee, was fired by Eric Bischoff.
00:05:58And then he just turned his back and walked out.
00:06:01The voice of reason in WCW has quit the organization.
00:06:04I think we should stay tuned.
00:06:06A lot's gonna happen.
00:06:07I don't believe the guy's just gonna drive off and leave.
00:06:10He's gotta come back.
00:06:11If he leaves, he leaves.
00:06:12I understand this whole thing.
00:06:13Well, he may be put in a paddy wagon if you're talking about Bam Bam Bigelow, but I don't even know if that could hold this maniac of a man.
00:06:20Oh, he wanted Goldberg bad.
00:06:23And he got him, too.
00:06:24At least he got a little bit of him, and then security came in and broke that up.
00:06:28But you notice this Goldberg didn't stay back.
00:06:30He came out.
00:06:31He wanted him, too.
00:06:32Of course.
00:06:33Goldberg is a fighter.
00:06:35He's a fighting man.
00:06:36Watch out.
00:06:37Saturn ducks.
00:06:38And so did K-Dog.
00:06:39He ducked.
00:06:40Whoa!
00:06:41And then Saturn goes down in a great mode that time by Conan.
00:06:45LWO's out.
00:06:46The Latino World Order has arrived.
00:06:49Well, they were in the middle of it the last time that Saturn and Conan had words.
00:06:54And LWO members are making their way out to ringside.
00:06:58Well, this has been such a stressful evening to see J.J. Dillon fired here and to see Eric Bischoff.
00:07:04I mean, the appearance of Bigelow has completely disrupted everything here tonight.
00:07:09Now we do have it.
00:07:10Oh, you're right.
00:07:11And it scared the fire out of a lot of people as well, I can tell you that.
00:07:15Yeah, how about the look on Bischoff's face when Bigelow hit the ring?
00:07:19Mike, you know as well as anything, you know as well as anything as the LWO has come out what Bigelow has done to wrestlers around the world.
00:07:27He's notorious, Tony.
00:07:29I understand Gene is on top of what's going on.
00:07:31It's not done yet.
00:07:33Gene is standing by with Eric Bischoff.
00:07:35All right, Gene, is he ready?
00:07:37I don't know if anybody is ready.
00:07:38We are right outside of Bill Goldberg's dressing room.
00:07:42Eric Bischoff, you are the president of World Championship Wrestling.
00:07:45Why did you fire J.J. Dillon?
00:07:47Well, it should be obvious.
00:07:48J.J. Dillon screws up everything that he touches.
00:07:50He's tried to run this company.
00:07:51He's tried to follow in my footsteps.
00:07:53Obviously, the shoes don't fit.
00:07:55He's out of here.
00:07:56End of story.
00:07:57Bam Bam Bigelow is in the building.
00:07:59He wants Goldberg.
00:08:00You've got to...
00:08:01Somebody's got to step up.
00:08:02I'll talk to Goldberg, but it's real simple.
00:08:04He doesn't work here.
00:08:05Bam Bam Bigelow does not work for this company.
00:08:08There are 60 men this Sunday in Detroit
00:08:11that are going to compete for an opportunity to meet Bill Goldberg.
00:08:14Bam Bam Bigelow will not be one of them.
00:08:16Bill Goldberg is a WCW World Heavyweight Champion.
00:08:19He's got more important things to do than to make himself available
00:08:23for any Joe Blow that comes walking in and off the street
00:08:26thinking that he can walk into WCW and take a shot at our World Heavyweight Champion.
00:08:30Hey, wait a minute.
00:08:32I want Bigelow tonight, and you're gonna feed him to me.
00:08:35No, no, look.
00:08:36You're the Heavyweight Champion of the World.
00:08:38I want him tonight.
00:08:39Heavyweight Champion.
00:08:40And you're gonna give him to me, right?
00:08:42You're the Heavyweight Champion of the World.
00:08:44Right.
00:08:45And I...
00:08:48I think he said yes, didn't he?
00:08:50I think that is made.
00:08:52Goldberg just grabbing Bischoff.
00:08:54Tony, back to you.
00:08:55We'll keep you covered.
00:08:56That match has been made.
00:08:59And Goldberg wanted the darn thing, and he forced it on Eric Bischoff.
00:09:04And we got it.
00:09:05We're gonna have that match?
00:09:07Well, Bam Bam Bigelow struck a nerve with Goldberg, didn't he?
00:09:10Don't touch the clicker.
00:09:12This is mind boggling.
00:09:14This is incredible.
00:09:16This is unbelievable.
00:09:17It's Bam Bam Bigelow and Goldberg tonight.
00:09:21And Bischoff, you noticed, as he walked towards that door, he said, hey, he shook his head no.
00:09:26He didn't want it.
00:09:27He still doesn't want it, but Goldberg says that's the way it's gonna be.
00:09:30And I don't wanna agree with Eric Bischoff, but we gotta agree with him when he said, you know, there's 60 men who are vying for a shot at Goldberg.
00:09:38You can't just, one, two, you can't just give it to anyone that walks off the street.
00:09:43But in the same breath, Bam Bam Bigelow's not just anyone off the street.
00:09:47You just can't, you can't blame Bischoff for being hesitant about this situation.
00:09:51Putting the WCW World's Heavyweight Champion, Goldberg, into a match against a wrestler that's not even employed by this company.
00:09:58All we gotta do is sit back and watch. This is gonna be great.
00:10:01Let the fireworks begin.
00:10:02You're right, Mike. It's gonna happen.
00:10:04One, two, almost got a three count dead center in that time.
00:10:08Ladies and gentlemen, it truly is a historic night in this program that began in 1995 on Labor Day.
00:10:18And now, more than three years later, we have come to this, where one of the most dangerous men ever, and I mean ever in pro wrestling,
00:10:25walks literally off the street, not employed by WCW.
00:10:29There's K-Dawg with the cover.
00:10:31No.
00:10:32No.
00:10:33Makes waves, makes things happen, and thus, gets the world champion to go in and say,
00:10:38I want him in the ring tonight.
00:10:40And it's gonna happen.
00:10:42It's gonna happen right here on this program, later on here, live on Nitro.
00:10:46That's what I love about Nitro.
00:10:47You never know what's gonna happen, Mike Thunder.
00:10:49You just sit here and things just happen.
00:10:52Boy, they are happening.
00:10:55And they're happening at a fever pitch.
00:10:58Is Goldberg gonna be the man that's going to be able to control Bam Bam Bigelow?
00:11:02One, two, no one's been able to control Bam Bam.
00:11:05Never.
00:11:06No one has ever.
00:11:07In his career, never.
00:11:08In his career, Mike.
00:11:09And you followed his career, and so have I.
00:11:11You know, we talked about the beast from the East, one of the most dangerous men.
00:11:14And I wonder, I mean, I wonder his purpose.
00:11:17I wonder if there's a motive, a deep-seated, deep-rooted motive with Bam Bam Bigelow,
00:11:23if he just wanted to come in here and prove his point in this program and the SELECT crowd
00:11:28and these millions of fans watching on, millions of households.
00:11:31What's the reason?
00:11:33Does he feel he can destroy a man that's been completely undestroyable in one Goldberg?
00:11:39If anybody can do it, ladies and gentlemen, Bam Bam Bigelow can destroy a man
00:11:44and could destroy Goldberg later on tonight.
00:11:47That match has verbally been agreed upon.
00:11:50I guess if you call Bischoff's nodding an agreement, it's just incredible.
00:12:00Mind-boggling, isn't it?
00:12:01It's incredible.
00:12:02And I approach it with a great deal of excitement.
00:12:05I want to see it, but I'm fearful of what may happen to our world title,
00:12:10what may happen to Goldberg in this streak.
00:12:13It's gonna be interesting.
00:12:15It's gonna be just...
00:12:17What a chance here.
00:12:18What an opportunity for Bam Bam Bigelow to walk into Monday Nitro
00:12:22and make headlines if he were able to defeat Goldberg.
00:12:26Well, there we see members of the LWO.
00:12:28That is Leparka to hold Saturn for K-Dog.
00:12:31And K-Dog didn't hit Saturn.
00:12:33He went right at Leparka.
00:12:34How about that?
00:12:36And now, look at the LWO here.
00:12:42Jumping on Saturn.
00:12:45The referee called the bell.
00:12:47I believe so.
00:12:49I believe the bell has sounded.
00:12:51And now, K-Dog is trying to part the waters here to get rid of the LWO.
00:12:56I guess they want Conan-
00:12:58Whoa!
00:12:59My goodness!
00:13:00Conan helped Saturn, who did Conan.
00:13:03And Saturn's going after the LWO here.
00:13:05He's cleaning house.
00:13:07Look at him punching away.
00:13:10The match has been thrown out.
00:13:12Wow, there goes Hector Garza face first into the steel.
00:13:16And truly, as announced team, we have not lent enough importance to this match.
00:13:21We apologize.
00:13:22But how often does a guy like Bam Bam Bigelow walk to the back door and announced and thus get Goldberg to agree to a match?
00:13:31Is that what he wanted?
00:13:33Or did he want to just come in here and attack him from behind?
00:13:36Well, I think if he would go through the proper channels and go into the office and get him talking and this and that, it wouldn't work there.
00:13:43You're right.
00:13:44He knew what he wanted to do.
00:13:45He came right in here and did it.
00:13:46And Barry, this ain't over, Punk.
00:13:52Get in here, Buster.
00:13:53Come on.
00:13:54Conan, I think, doing the right thing, knowing it's not over between these two.
00:13:58He wants Saturn back in and Saturn goes right at it.
00:14:01Oh, it's another fight.
00:14:02If you're gonna call Saturn out, he'll come out.
00:14:04Yeah, he didn't have to go out anywhere.
00:14:06He was already out.
00:14:07That's exactly what it is.
00:14:08Just a fight, just a brawl between these two.
00:14:11And there's no way to, look at this.
00:14:18Just throwing his head up against the steel steps.
00:14:21The referee trying to force the man back.
00:14:25And here come the other referees out as well.
00:14:28Forget it, it's too far gone now.
00:14:30Yeah, this program is like this.
00:14:32This program, it's unstoppable.
00:14:35It's still Bam Bam Figalo later tonight against Goldberg on this program.
00:14:40Let us see that pyro, please.
00:14:43Thank you very much.
00:14:44That means hour number three is imminent, ladies and gentlemen.
00:14:47And it's gonna go down as one of the most anticipated third hours we've ever had in our program.
00:14:53It's WCW Monday Nitro and completely unannounced.
00:14:57Never before has this ever happened.
00:14:59Yeah, we've had people walk on this program before.
00:15:02You know it if you've been following WCW Monday Nitro, and I know it.
00:15:07But never before has a person walked from the back, from literally his car, or his taxi, or his limousine, or however.
00:15:14Bam Bam Figalo got here, walked into the arena, and got a match with Goldberg.
00:15:21And I wanna tell you this right now, there are many great athletes, many great wrestlers around the world.
00:15:27But there are none as dangerous as one Bam Bam Figalo.
00:15:31We talk about the streak of Goldberg.
00:15:33Will it ever come to an end?
00:15:35I don't know if it's gonna come to an end tonight or not, but I don't even know if he wants to put a streak to an end.
00:15:40He probably wants to take him out.
00:15:42He wants to be the man to say, I came out on Nitro and took this man completely out.
00:15:46It's what he wants.
00:15:47Well you know Tony, you're right about that.
00:15:48He comes from the back, he comes from out of nowhere, and he wants Goldberg.
00:15:51Now he's got Goldberg tonight.
00:15:53This is a big feather in his cap.
00:15:55This is gonna be a great, great match to watch.
00:15:57I don't even know if it's gonna be a match.
00:15:59It's gonna be a great thing to watch.
00:16:00Is it gonna be a match?
00:16:01I don't think any.
00:16:02No.
00:16:03It's gonna be because Bigelow notorious for not having, you know, what you call textbook matches.
00:16:07Just having brawls and fights.
00:16:08That's what it might evolve into.
00:16:10So many unforgettable moments in Nitro history and seeing an out of control beast from the east, Bam Bam Bigelow,
00:16:17take this program almost as hostage as you said Tony.
00:16:20He sure did.
00:16:21Taking over Nitro.
00:16:22He's asked for Goldberg and the world's heavyweight champion is gonna give him his wish.
00:16:26He's here.
00:16:27The match is gonna go forth.
00:16:28James J. Dillon has been fired.
00:16:30Well let's pick up our spirits here a little bit.
00:16:33It's bringing the girls.
00:16:34Yes.
00:16:35Man.
00:16:36That's my choice.
00:16:37Yeah, it's always your choice.
00:16:40And as they come in, Goldberg, as it stands right now, awaits the winner of this Sunday's World War III.
00:16:47And he'll face that winner on Sunday night, December 27th at Starrcade in Washington at the MCI Center in downtown D.C.
00:16:55Tickets are available at the MCI Center box office and Ticketmaster.
00:16:58Here's a special look at Hall and Nash as they prepare for World War III.
00:17:23You know, two and a half years ago when we came in here together as the Outsiders.
00:17:28I mean, we started this thing.
00:17:30Old friends.
00:17:32He's got a different agenda where it's more of a me thing than us.
00:17:37New rivals.
00:17:38New rivals.
00:17:39Scott Hall just hit Kevin Nash with the title belt.
00:17:43The Outsiders are history.
00:17:44What could have made Scott Hall turn on his longtime friend and partner, Kevin Nash?
00:17:49You don't tell me what to do, you big goof.
00:17:52Sometimes in life, even somebody you love, you gotta teach them tough love.
00:17:56Hey, Big Sexy.
00:17:57Look at you now.
00:18:00Cause I'm through listening to you.
00:18:04I don't think I'm gonna be able to do anything but, you know, make a pizza.
00:18:08The reason I didn't pin you last night was because it wasn't about winning and losing.
00:18:16I win when I get you back as my friend and when you get your life together.
00:18:19Look at the disgust in his eyes when he sees his best friend.
00:18:22And they talk about some of the nice spots I hang out in.
00:18:26Hey, Kev, last time I saw you, you were really in a hole in the wall.
00:18:32That's all I can stance, cause I can't stance no more.
00:18:38We're back on a program where Bam Bam Bigelow may have set a precedent.
00:18:45Where a man, a most dangerous man, maybe the most dangerous man in our sport,
00:18:51in the history of the sport, I couldn't say our sport cause he's not in WCW,
00:18:55could walk right in here and have thrown Goldberg and walk away with a world title.
00:19:00That match is on.
00:19:03Tony, you wanna talk about dangerous?
00:19:06There's a man right there that's dangerous.
00:19:09Buff dangerous.
00:19:11And so is Scott.
00:19:12It's not often that we anticipate an interview with Big Papa Puff,
00:19:16Scott Steiner and Buff Bagwell.
00:19:18Let's check the referee out.
00:19:20After hearing from Judy Bagwell earlier this evening,
00:19:23it's time for Bagwell and Steiner to explain themselves.
00:19:30Is this their referee?
00:19:31Check the referee out.
00:19:32Is this their own personal referee?
00:19:34He's got ball bearings hanging from his lips.
00:19:36I guess it is.
00:19:37And it goes without saying that all second-rate referees and wrestling wear it right.
00:19:41This is the biggest man in the best school wrestler today!
00:19:46And I am the best person.
00:19:48Don't put him in the powder blue, he's not official.
00:19:50Is that...
00:19:51Can someone answer my question, Mike?
00:19:53Is that their referee?
00:19:54No, it must be.
00:19:55There was a...
00:19:56Well there was supposed to be a referee that Buff Bagwell and Scott Steiner were set to bring with them to World War 3.
00:20:03I guess this is the referee, but now who are they gonna wrestle?
00:20:10Well Judy Bagwell is in the hospital.
00:20:12And it's apparent that she is now...
00:20:16What's wrong with her?
00:20:18Unless she was...
00:20:19What's wrong with her?
00:20:20Didn't you hear the thing with us?
00:20:23Big Papa Pump beat up that guy's mom.
00:20:26That's what happened.
00:20:27We don't like Wichita!
00:20:31Shut up!
00:20:34Shut up!
00:20:37Number two!
00:20:43As you can see, WCW officials have been running a little bit scared.
00:20:51So like I told you last week, with all the money that the NWO is bringing to this company,
00:21:00we went out and bought our own referee.
00:21:05Let's have a round of applause for our referee.
00:21:10They love you, baby.
00:21:11They love you.
00:21:14Now the difference between our referee and WCW referees is our referee can count to three.
00:21:27Get it?
00:21:28Three?
00:21:29So in Halloween Havoc, if we would have had this referee, this man would be holding the world tag team titles.
00:21:37So for an example, we're gonna show you the proper way to count one, two, three.
00:21:51Please go ahead.
00:21:52There you go.
00:22:02It's that simple.
00:22:04Very good.
00:22:05It's that simple.
00:22:09I wanna make one thing perfectly clear.
00:22:16No.
00:22:17I am not talking to the 10,000 fat, corn fed heifers that you people in Wichita call women.
00:22:32I am talking to the 10 million women out there that have viewed me on TV.
00:22:39And I'm saying, don't adjust your knob.
00:22:44I do look this good.
00:22:47And I'm here to tell you, there's nothing finer than Scott Steiner.
00:22:54And when I lay you down so sweet, you call me your sugar daddy.
00:23:02And when I get you between the sheets and this body rocks your body,
00:23:12you'll know right then and there that you've been with more than just a man.
00:23:19Matter of fact, in the morning, you call me Superman.
00:23:27So this goes to all you freaks out there.
00:23:34Big Papa Pump is your hookup.
00:23:37Holler if you hear me.
00:23:40We do not need to give that man a microphone.
00:23:43But how do you stop him, right?
00:23:47No, but as everybody's seen on that video, that the NWO family is a lot stronger than blood.
00:24:02And when you gave me permission to hit your mother, to whack your mother, to take your mother out.
00:24:10That proved to me that we are friends for life.
00:24:15He gave him permission to hit his own mom?
00:24:21Now Buff, as you know, wrestling is no place for a woman.
00:24:29But mom, it's good to see you.
00:24:33Mrs. Steiner, everybody.
00:24:35No, it's Scott Steiner's mom.
00:24:37No, it isn't.
00:24:39She never looked that good.
00:24:40But Buff, when you gave me the favor in knocking your mother out,
00:24:45I'm gonna return the favor, and you can knock my mother out.
00:24:50Let's get out of here.
00:24:55Hey, you okay, mom?
00:24:57Count her down.
00:24:58You okay?
00:25:00Just like Judy Bagwell, the NWO don't care.
00:25:11Thank goodness.
00:25:13Get rid of it.
00:25:14Here comes Rick Steiner.
00:25:16And notice how Bagwell and Scott Steiner split.
00:25:20Get out of here.
00:25:23This is our segment.
00:25:32Yeah, that's not.
00:25:37Not bad.
00:25:43Give me a dollar.
00:25:45Well, we're pretty much feats looked up here.
00:25:47My mother!
00:25:48Just your mouth!
00:25:49This, my mother!
00:25:50You two are a couple of dirtbag scumbag hoes!
00:25:54This ain't my mother!
00:25:57It's your dad.
00:25:58You know what?
00:25:59If it was your mother, I'd have done the same thing!
00:26:02Yeah?
00:26:03Well, you can bring it on right now!
00:26:05Get out!
00:26:06Oh, from behind, look at this!
00:26:10It's Scott Norton holding Rick Steiner.
00:26:13The big man, Scott Norton.
00:26:14Listen here!
00:26:15I put referees out!
00:26:17I put J.J. Dillon out!
00:26:19I put Judy Bagwell out!
00:26:22If you show up in Auburn Hills, I'm gonna end your career!
00:26:28Brother to brother.
00:26:29He's talking to him.
00:26:31And there's no getting away from Scott Norton to the clutches of Scott Norton.
00:26:34Look at this.
00:26:35At the mercy of three members of the NWO.
00:26:38Just another NWO plot.
00:26:41What a pathetic display.
00:26:42Oh, Vince.
00:26:43Where's Mumsy?
00:26:44We're coming right back.
00:26:45It's a great new shutout.
00:26:48Vince.
00:26:49Wow.
00:26:50This is an incredible program.
00:26:52And moments ago, although he didn't want to, Eric Bischoff had to agree with Goldberg
00:26:57and signed an unprecedented match for tonight's main event.
00:27:01Here's what went down.
00:27:02Let's go.
00:27:03Bam Bam Bigelow is in the building.
00:27:05He wants Goldberg.
00:27:06Somebody's gotta step up.
00:27:08I'll talk to Goldberg.
00:27:09But it's real simple.
00:27:10He doesn't work here.
00:27:11Bam Bam Bigelow does not work for this company.
00:27:13There are 60 men this Sunday in Detroit that are gonna compete for an opportunity to meet
00:27:19Bill Goldberg.
00:27:20Bam Bam Bigelow will not be one of them.
00:27:22Bill Goldberg is a WCW World Heavyweight Champion.
00:27:25He's got more important things to do than to make himself available for any Joe Blow that comes
00:27:30walking in and off the street thinking that he can walk into WCW and take a shot at our World Heavyweight Champion.
00:27:35Hey, a little bit.
00:27:37I want Bigelow tonight and you're gonna feed him to me.
00:27:40No, no, look.
00:27:41You're the Heavyweight Champion of the World.
00:27:43I want him tonight.
00:27:44Heavyweight Champion.
00:27:45And you're gonna give him to me.
00:27:46Right?
00:27:47You're the Heavyweight Champion of the World.
00:27:49Right.
00:27:50And I-
00:27:54I think he said yes, didn't he?
00:27:56I think that is made.
00:27:57Goldberg just grabbing Bischoff.
00:27:59Tony, back to you, we'll keep you covered.
00:28:01That went down moments ago.
00:28:04Did you hear that, Tony?
00:28:05Yeah, well, it sounded pretty good, didn't it, for Bischoff?
00:28:11But nevertheless-
00:28:12I like it.
00:28:13That went down in the wake of a most startling walk into this building by one of the most dangerous,
00:28:19if not the most dangerous man we've ever had in this sport, the sport's ever had.
00:28:24Who don't care?
00:28:25And who doesn't care?
00:28:26You're right.
00:28:27Bam Bam Bigelow.
00:28:28All right, Bobby Duncombe Jr., we talked about him earlier in this program.
00:28:32He makes his way to the ring.
00:28:34I managed his father.
00:28:35You managed Bobby Duncombe, I know.
00:28:37Oh, what a tough man he is.
00:28:39He truly was a tough man.
00:28:41He still is.
00:28:42Yeah, yes he is.
00:28:43And Mike Tenet, Bobby Jr., is not a rookie to pro wrestling at all, but this is his debut in WCW.
00:28:50It is, Tony, his World Championship wrestling debut, but by no means his pro wrestling start.
00:28:56Seven years as a pro, primarily been wrestling internationally over in Japan.
00:29:01Just like his father, Bobby Duncombe, a very spectacular football background.
00:29:06Bobby Heenan, as you can attest, his father played in the National Football League with the St. Louis Cardinals.
00:29:11Well, Bobby Duncombe Jr. was a star at the University of Texas, a linebacker and a defensive end.
00:29:17He's accomplished an awful lot in professional wrestling, and this is a chance for him to make a name for himself tonight here in WCW.
00:29:26Well, Mike, you're right about that.
00:29:28You know everything about the guy, his social security number, where he lives, his address, zip code, everything.
00:29:33Only you would know that, but what a tough guy this is.
00:29:36Bobby Duncombe Jr., but don't forget this guy right here.
00:29:39Jericho with his security guard gums.
00:29:44Anything can happen.
00:29:46And a lot of things always happen on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:29:50So now Bobby Duncombe Jr., what a way to walk into WCW Monday Nitro in your first match.
00:29:57Much different than I would venture to say Bam Bam Bigelow literally walking in.
00:30:02So there's Jericho, the television champion.
00:30:07But you know what I'm saying about Bam Bam?
00:30:09He didn't come into the ring to wrestle.
00:30:11He just made his presence known.
00:30:13He knew what he was gonna do.
00:30:15He wants Goldberg.
00:30:17Well, you know what he did?
00:30:18First of all, I mean, he didn't walk right to the ring.
00:30:20He walked right, he walked in the back, and he looked for Goldberg's locker room.
00:30:24He found it, and Goldberg wasn't in there at that time.
00:30:27Had there been, there would have been a fight right there.
00:30:29And then he walked to the ring, and then Goldberg finally came into the ring.
00:30:33And nevertheless, he came here with a purpose, looking for Goldberg.
00:30:37Now the Beast from the East made his strategy very clear, going right for Goldberg,
00:30:41then going into the ring and just destroying everything within his sight.
00:30:45Look at what, three, four dozen security people, police officers,
00:30:49trying to separate those two.
00:30:51We're gonna see those fireworks tonight.
00:30:54That's what he's always done.
00:30:55Bigelow has destroyed everyone, everything in his pants.
00:30:58Think of this, guys. Here's a guy that tattoos his own head.
00:31:02Is that tough?
00:31:04That's tough.
00:31:05All right, let's see what Bobby Duncombe Jr. can do against Jericho.
00:31:09Obviously has a height advantage, and thus would have a leverage advantage here.
00:31:13Big, strong, tall guy.
00:31:15Talk about his football background, and he runs right over Jericho.
00:31:18He sends Jericho down.
00:31:20Great.
00:31:21Drop toehold, and Jericho now floats over top of the side,
00:31:24a rear chin lock, actually, on Bobby Duncombe Jr.
00:31:27Nice move by Jericho in an attempt to neutralize the six-foot-five,
00:31:31270-pound Bobby Duncombe Jr.
00:31:37Jericho's got him all tied up, and it would be to Jericho's advantage
00:31:40to keep this big man off his feet, and look at this submission hold here, Mike.
00:31:43Oh, boy!
00:31:44Oh, it just tosses him across the ring.
00:31:46You know why a guy lets go of a hold like that?
00:31:48No, why?
00:31:49Because it maintains so much pressure on your knees to hold a guy like that.
00:31:54If a guy doesn't give up quickly, you can't hold him that long.
00:31:57That's why they let go.
00:31:59So much pressure on your knees.
00:32:01Well said, Dre.
00:32:02How about that?
00:32:03I've been there.
00:32:04I've been there.
00:32:05He came up with one, Mike.
00:32:06How about that?
00:32:07And as Jericho now stops away.
00:32:09Well, first the left-arm Lariat by Jericho, then follows up with the Senton, the backsplash.
00:32:13Senton?
00:32:14What a nonchalant cover this is, though.
00:32:16Senton.
00:32:17Senton backsplash.
00:32:18Where you been, Brain?
00:32:19He's been talking about that for years.
00:32:20I know.
00:32:21I still don't get it.
00:32:22Senton.
00:32:23Now Jericho, back to the attack again.
00:32:26He has to take a...
00:32:27Senton.
00:32:28Shut up.
00:32:29He got a pickup.
00:32:30And...
00:32:31Got him!
00:32:32Look at that!
00:32:33The Super Senton!
00:32:34Is that power or what, Jericho?
00:32:35No, it's a high vertical suplex.
00:32:37Or the Super Senton.
00:32:38No, I'll tell you, a 275-pound man, look how he picked him up!
00:32:42Whoa!
00:32:43Look at that!
00:32:44Whoa!
00:32:45That arrogant cover cost Jericho, because here came Bobby Duncombe Jr.
00:32:50just rising out of the mist out of that one.
00:32:52Almost as if he's just had enough with that embarrassing tight move.
00:32:56Sends Jericho high into the air, crashing down to the mat.
00:32:59Come on, Bobby D, get on him.
00:33:01Bobby Duncombe with the Lariat sending Jericho on the outside.
00:33:07If he's anything like his dad, he's gonna be hard to beat.
00:33:11Yeah, he's tough.
00:33:12You can see that.
00:33:13He came right out of that.
00:33:14Look out!
00:33:15Oh!
00:33:16Oh!
00:33:17Oh, 270 pounds of impact coming off the ring apron with that clothesline.
00:33:22Bobby Duncombe means business!
00:33:24He caught Jericho with a flurry, and he's not done yet!
00:33:28He's going right after him.
00:33:30Jericho needs a ticket to sit there.
00:33:33You know, it's almost as if Chris Jericho has overlooked Bobby Duncombe Jr.
00:33:38This is a top-flight athlete we're talking about, and Jericho, quite honestly, is getting his head handed to him.
00:33:46And like you know, Mike, Bobby Duncombe Jr. is a big, big, big name in Japan.
00:33:50Huge wrestling for all Japan over the course of the past six or seven years, in addition to his football career.
00:33:56Off the top with the Lariat.
00:33:57He could win the title right now!
00:33:59Oh!
00:34:00Had a great pinny combination on.
00:34:02Had the shoulders hooked, had the leg hooked, but couldn't keep Jericho down.
00:34:09Dunk a miss with that one.
00:34:11He's not done yet.
00:34:12Jericho sitting down with a great move.
00:34:14Nice counter, that drop kick from in tight, took the big man down to the mat.
00:34:18You know, we've been talking about Bobby Duncombe Jr. here for the last 20 minutes,
00:34:22but I'll tell you something, Jericho is one tough athlete.
00:34:25Can he put him in the Lion Tamer?
00:34:27You know that's what he has designed now.
00:34:29No, wasted too much time.
00:34:31And too strong of a man.
00:34:33Great leg strength just out-muscled his way out of the Lion Tamer.
00:34:36I like Bobby Duncombe.
00:34:38I like the look of this guy.
00:34:39I could make him money.
00:34:42Yeah, he went for that bull rope of his, and Jericho walked away.
00:34:47He decked David Pender and took the TV belt.
00:34:51Looks like Jericho's having second thoughts, doesn't he?
00:34:54Jericho's running away from this match.
00:34:58The referee's calling for the bell.
00:35:00Duncombe is gonna win by count out, but not win the title.
00:35:04Well, it's clear that Jericho underestimated Bobby Duncombe.
00:35:08Bobby Duncombe.
00:35:09He's not enough.
00:35:10Bobby Duncombe Jr has pushed the world television champion.
00:35:13Well, the Secret Service are moving into place.
00:35:17And obviously, the arrival of Hollywood Hogan is imminent here on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:35:24We saw the motorcade at the beginning of the program.
00:35:26And now as they look around the ring area, checking out the crowd.
00:35:30Here we go.
00:35:31He means business.
00:35:32I think what we heard, Mike, today earlier, and we heard what he said on the Imus in the
00:35:37Morning program this past Friday.
00:35:39Hollywood Hogan is serious about his running for the highest office in the land.
00:35:43And Tony, as we detailed earlier, mainstream media coverage, the wire services, television, radio,
00:35:50all over the internet, everyone talking about Hollywood Hogan.
00:35:55There's the salute.
00:35:57The fact that he is set, he's announced his candidacy to run for President of the United States.
00:36:02You notice something different, Mike?
00:36:04I don't see the campaign manager with him.
00:36:06I don't see.
00:36:07I was going to say, Eric Bischoff does not too well.
00:36:09Of course, Bischoff, the president of WCW, had his hands folded.
00:36:12I would think right about this time, Eric Bischoff probably is trying to control a very
00:36:18hectic situation back in the locker room area.
00:36:21I will take this country and I will make every American press.
00:36:23Would you all, gentlemen, look at this.
00:36:25This is not just television.
00:36:27It's not just a boa and an American flag.
00:36:30I'm telling you, I know this guy.
00:36:32He means business.
00:36:33He's gonna run for the President of the United States.
00:36:36I'll tell you something, guys.
00:36:38He could do it.
00:36:39He could win it.
00:36:40He could win it.
00:36:41American crown.
00:36:42Six million things in heaven.
00:36:44I will contact you.
00:36:46Let the child have an education.
00:36:49And the man is making their way to the ring.
00:36:53I wonder if he has some sort of a campaign message or some sort of
00:36:56platform he wants to establish here tonight.
00:36:59Or talk about where the campaign trail will lead him.
00:37:02And he also mentioned that he's gonna be the world champion as well.
00:37:09And the, which would be a first.
00:37:11Shut the balloons.
00:37:19N-W-O.
00:37:21The leader of the New World Order wants to be the leader of the free world as well.
00:37:25Imagine him in the White House.
00:37:34In the Rose Garden.
00:37:36On the lawn.
00:37:38Thank you, my fellow Americans.
00:37:40And all you N-W-ites.
00:37:42In the Oval Office.
00:37:44Wow.
00:37:45This past week has been one of the greatest weeks of my life.
00:37:52My family, my children, and my friends could not believe how America embraced Hollywood.
00:38:00How America realized that Hollywood is the only man to lead this country.
00:38:06And I wanna thank the press.
00:38:08I wanna thank the media.
00:38:10And I wanna thank each and every American out there.
00:38:15And especially all the N-W-O-ites here tonight.
00:38:18For embracing Hulk Hogan.
00:38:21For embracing Hollywood.
00:38:24And giving me your faith.
00:38:27And letting me know that I am the man for the job.
00:38:31America, I love you.
00:38:34And I will lead you.
00:38:37Now, my campaign manager, Mr. Bischoff, has been quite busy tonight.
00:38:45And I'm just a little worried that with all the confusion, the fact that he is worried about Mr. Goldberg's safety,
00:38:53that right now, he might not be up to speed to answer the cards, the letters, the phone calls, and all the attention that's going down with Hollywood's campaign.
00:39:05So at this moment, I am proud to introduce a brand new person on my campaign team.
00:39:12A person that's gonna handle the phone calls, the letters, and the faxes.
00:39:16Would you please welcome my brand new personal intern?
00:39:21Please welcome her.
00:39:25What could this be?
00:39:26He's got an intern.
00:39:31America, open your arms to Hollywood and my whole campaign team.
00:39:37We will not let you down.
00:39:41America shall be the richest country.
00:39:43Every child shall have an education.
00:39:45And we shall make the whole world a peaceful place to live in.
00:39:50Me.
00:39:52I present America and all my NW-ites, my brand new intern.
00:40:00Shut up, brain.
00:40:08Shut up, brain.
00:40:09I'm not saying nothing.
00:40:12You know, I'd like to.
00:40:13Shut up.
00:40:14You know.
00:40:15Shut up.
00:40:16Let's, he's the man.
00:40:17Hollywood, I'd like to be the first one to congratulate you.
00:40:21And everybody knows that a president loves a good cigar.
00:40:27Oh, my.
00:40:33Thank you very much.
00:40:35I'll enjoy this cigar very much.
00:40:38I have no more, I have no comment about this.
00:40:48Gentlemen, please escort my personal intern back to my office, please.
00:40:53On a wheelbarrow.
00:40:57Now, before I go back and enjoy this cigar, I would like to get Mr. Bischoff out here.
00:41:05I would like to let all the NW-ites know that Hollywood, the campaign trail is just as solid as all the NW-ites out there, brother.
00:41:18Oh, boy.
00:41:21The black and whites in the back.
00:41:24We've talked about it.
00:41:26We can handle the presidency of the United States.
00:41:29We can handle professional wrestling.
00:41:32But right now, enough about Hollywood, your next president.
00:41:39Now, we're gonna talk about NWO business.
00:41:43Mr. Bischoff, if you would please step this way.
00:41:47Oh, man.
00:41:48I tell you, we got some serious stuff going on here.
00:41:50Enough of this intern stuff.
00:41:52Bischoff coming to the ring.
00:41:54Something's happening here, guys.
00:41:57Thanks for having me here, Mr. President-Elect.
00:41:59Mr. Bischoff, everybody knows how you helped put the NWO together, how you made it the most powerful force in wrestling.
00:42:09But tonight, as I sit in the back, I understand your safety, excuse me, I understand your concern for the safety of Mr. Bill Goldberg.
00:42:20But I just wanna rest you assured and ease your conscience that no matter which way Goldberg flips or flops, Hollywood Hogan will be on top for the one, two, three.
00:42:33And I will bring the belt back to the NWO.
00:42:37I just wanna let you know that I am definitely watching Mr. Goldberg.
00:42:43Mr. Hogan, I know that you would never let this company down.
00:42:46And if I've got faith in anything, I've got faith in your ability to take care of business.
00:42:56Always have, always will.
00:42:59Big Scott.
00:43:01Mr. Hall to the ring.
00:43:04We were talking a moment ago, Mr. Bischoff.
00:43:07Scott Hall?
00:43:08We talked about how powerful the NWO is.
00:43:10And Scott understands, and Scott's concern, we are here as a team.
00:43:17Right, big man?
00:43:19You know, Hollywood, when we started this NWO, we had a little saying.
00:43:26I know you know it.
00:43:27Scott Hall knows it.
00:43:29Everybody in Wichita knows it, cuz it goes like this.
00:43:34When you're NWO, you're NWO for-
00:43:39And what I was wondering there, boss, is it's not just a slogan.
00:43:48We live it.
00:43:50Where's your head at?
00:43:52Wait a minute.
00:43:59I don't think you should be asking me where my head is at.
00:44:05Come on.
00:44:06I mean, don't doubt my loyalty, please.
00:44:10After everything we've been through, and everything that I've done, especially for
00:44:15you, now is not the time or the place to engage in this conversation.
00:44:28I think maybe it is the time and the place.
00:44:33Uh-oh.
00:44:34Hollywood, look, family business, we'll take care of this a little later.
00:44:43A lot later.
00:44:45Backstage, my friend.
00:44:48You go back.
00:44:50We'll take care of business later on.
00:44:55No!
00:44:56He wiped out Bischoff and Hogan.
00:45:03Wiped out him.
00:45:04He's attacking Scott Hall.
00:45:06Ladies and gentlemen, the NWO is having major problems.
00:45:09What's happening here?
00:45:10Dissension within the ranks of NWO Hollywood.
00:45:13As never before.
00:45:16And Hogan.
00:45:19Choking now Scott Hall.
00:45:21And Kevin.
00:45:23Kevin Nash.
00:45:24Nash has come in.
00:45:25Why?
00:45:26Why?
00:45:27Hogan takes the low road.
00:45:31Look at this.
00:45:32Look at this.
00:45:36Look at this.
00:45:37Did you hear that?
00:45:50Did you hear what he said?
00:45:51No.
00:45:52What a match that's gonna be between these two former partners.
00:46:03Wow.
00:46:04We'll be back.
00:46:05I'm gonna remind you this coming Friday, November 20th.
00:46:09Tickets go on sale for these two big events.
00:46:11Wednesday, December 16th.
00:46:12When we return to Columbia, South Carolina in the Township Auditorium.
00:46:15Tickets go on sale this Friday at the Auditorium Box Office and all capital ticket outlets in Columbia, South Carolina.
00:46:20And this Friday, November 20th, tickets go on sale for our next big event in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
00:46:25That'll be Friday, December 18th at the Expo Center Pavilion.
00:46:29Tickets available at the Carson Attractions Box Office.
00:46:31And all selected seat outlets for Friday, September or December, that is 18th.
00:46:36I'm sorry, December 18th.
00:46:37I think it's the 16th.
00:46:39December 18th in Tulsa, Oklahoma for WCW.
00:46:42Don't forget, a week from then, you'll see Goldberg and the Nitro Girls in the Georgia Dome.
00:46:47When tickets go on sale for the next Monday, Nitro in the Georgia Dome.
00:46:50That'll be Monday, January 4th.
00:46:52Tickets go on sale November 27th.
00:46:54All right.
00:46:55Right before the break.
00:46:56Oh.
00:46:57As you see the Nitro Girls, right before the break, Hollywood Hogan called out Bischoff.
00:47:05Bischoff came out.
00:47:06And then, unannounced, here came Scott Hall.
00:47:10And it was during all of this that Hall and Bischoff had a little bit of friction.
00:47:14And then things started to break down.
00:47:17Well, first of all, it was Scott Hall jacking the jaw of Eric Bischoff.
00:47:23And then that showdown in the ring between, well, the cornerstones, the foundation.
00:47:28Two of the men who started the revolution in professional wrestling with the formation of the New World Order.
00:47:33And Kevin Nash and Scott Hall are set to meet this Sunday.
00:47:36Let's show you what happened again.
00:47:38Now, here comes to your left of your screen.
00:47:42Kevin Nash.
00:47:43Hogan leads.
00:47:44We have a lot of questions we're going to ask in a moment.
00:47:47But why don't you listen in to what he said?
00:47:51He points his finger towards him.
00:47:52Listen to this.
00:47:53I'll see you in Detroit.
00:48:00I'll see you in Detroit, he said.
00:48:02And I think he said, I got something for you now.
00:48:04Why didn't he come down and lay into him right there, Brain?
00:48:08He's saving him for Detroit.
00:48:11I guess that's what he is.
00:48:12Remember, I mean, he's making him wait.
00:48:14He's making him think.
00:48:15He just disposed of him completely in Halloween Havoc and then left him there.
00:48:21Here comes a guy nobody likes.
00:48:23Yeah, but Tony, I think this is going to be a very different Scott Hall that we're going to see Sunday at World War 3 than the Scott Hall that we all saw at the last pay-per-view event, Halloween Havoc in Las Vegas.
00:48:35He's a more determined, he's a more focused, he's a more prepared Scott Hall as we go into World War 3 in that matchup against Kevin Nash.
00:48:43Yeah, I'll take it one step further.
00:48:45He has been that way ever since.
00:48:47He was left in the middle of the ring after those series of powerbombs, those jackknifes, back in October.
00:48:52He's been a different man.
00:48:54Yeah, almost as if after those two jackknife powerbombs, that alarm clock went off and that wake-up message was delivered by Kevin Nash to Scott Hall.
00:49:03And here's the Horseman.
00:49:08Chris Benoit has felt the attack, the wrath, if you will, of Bret Hart, as has Conan, as has Lex Luger, as has Sting, as has Diamond Dallas Page.
00:49:21I mean, look at the list of megastars that Bret Hart has either taken out of this sport or pushed to the brink of elimination in this sport.
00:49:29We haven't seen Sting.
00:49:30We haven't seen DDP in quite a while, even though the challenge is there for putting up the US title of World War 3.
00:49:37And boy, oh boy, does Benoit get a jumpstarted hit.
00:49:39And they're both from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
00:49:42What an intriguing matchup this is on so many fronts.
00:49:45Yes, Bret the Hitman Hart put the Canadian Crippler, Chris Benoit, on his own personal hit list recently.
00:49:50You know, this is a match that Benoit has been waiting for.
00:49:53He's been anticipating for years.
00:49:55He trained for professional wrestling at the dungeon in Calgary, Alberta, Canada of Stu Hart, Bret Hart's father.
00:50:02Have they ever met before in the ring, as you know?
00:50:04I think they met on one previous occasion, but this match here on Nitro,
00:50:08especially after what we've done just a week or so back with that attack by Bret Hart, means so much more.
00:50:14I'm in there, Stu Hart's house on time.
00:50:17He showed me the dungeon where he trained guys.
00:50:20It's a horrible place.
00:50:22It's a horrible place.
00:50:23She'll lock you in and throw away the key, actually.
00:50:25Back in the corner now.
00:50:26Chopped that time, knocking Bret Hart down.
00:50:33One, two.
00:50:34No.
00:50:35Boy, and Bret Hart has not had any offense at all here.
00:50:41Drops him down hard, does Benoit, the Crippler.
00:50:44Lateral press and a cover.
00:50:46I would venture to say in his great career, and Benoit has been one of the stellar performers we've ever seen.
00:50:55in this sport, that this match is not only his biggest, but also a win would be.
00:51:02I think for both of these wrestlers, Tony, what a measuring stick it is for Chris Benoit,
00:51:08especially since Bret Hart has turned up the heat so much over the course of the past few weeks,
00:51:13becoming more violent and dangerous than ever.
00:51:15One, two, three, four.
00:51:17Fans, we have witnessed things that have been mind-boggling here tonight.
00:51:21James J. Dillon fired.
00:51:23That preceded by the startling walk into this building by Bam Bam Bigelow,
00:51:29who came into the ring searching for Goldberg.
00:51:31Goldberg came out to answer, demanded that he have Bam Bam Bigelow here tonight,
00:51:36and he's got him.
00:51:37And I wanna let you know again, Bam Bam Bigelow does not work for WCW.
00:51:41It really put Eric Bischoff into tizzy to the point to where he and Hogan had some friction in the ring.
00:51:46Scott Hall came in the ring having friction with that, and then they got into a big NWO fight.
00:51:52They started to fall apart at the seams there.
00:51:55We've seen Judy Bagwell from a hospital bed talk about how her own son stood by and allowed Scott Steiner to beat her up.
00:52:06I mean, what else?
00:52:07One, two, what else can you have on this program?
00:52:09Well, I'll tell you what else you can have.
00:52:10Well, they're giving Judy Bagwell a new name.
00:52:13She's known as Bed Pan Mama now.
00:52:14One, two, three.
00:52:15As I was saying, Mike, today.
00:52:17Oh, I'm sorry.
00:52:18I'll tell you what else we have on this program.
00:52:21We've got coming up next in the face of this great match that deserves more of our attention than it's getting,
00:52:26and I'm sorry, but we've got coming up next Bam Bam Bigelow and Goldberg for the world title.
00:52:33And what's gonna go down is...
00:52:36He's just a walk in. He's just a walk in. He just walked up.
00:52:39And you know what? He has turned Nitro on its ear.
00:52:41If you really think about the friction that really evolved from Bam Bam Bigelow's appearance
00:52:46to the point where Hollywood Hogan seemed to be, well, almost talking down to Eric Bischoff
00:52:51about worrying about Goldberg's safety.
00:52:54Well, and that is...
00:52:56Well, you know, that is logical with Hogan because he wants everybody in the NWO to talk about him only.
00:53:01Of course.
00:53:02He doesn't want him to talk about anybody else or worry about anything, but Bischoff,
00:53:05and I'm not defending Eric Bischoff here, and I never would, but he is the boss.
00:53:09He's the president of this company, and he's got to do things like that.
00:53:12You can't allow a guy as dangerous as Bam Bam Bigelow to walk in here in Wichita,
00:53:17Kansas, and do the things he's doing. You can't do that.
00:53:19And don't forget, Eric Bischoff's main focus right now is campaign manager for Hollywood Hogan.
00:53:26Hogan wants to be president of the United States of America.
00:53:29Well, I don't think it's his main focus.
00:53:32I think his main focus is worrying about that in six days.
00:53:35We've got to decide who's going to be the opponent for Goldberg.
00:53:40Could be the opponent for Bam Bam Bigelow.
00:53:43Can that happen?
00:53:44Well, of course it can.
00:53:45Well, but legally, the man is not contracted here.
00:53:48Yeah, but Goldberg has agreed from what we understand to put the world's heavyweight title on the line this evening.
00:53:53I'll tell you something. He beats Goldberg. He's going to get a contract real quick.
00:53:57Wouldn't you sign him?
00:53:58I guess that would just throw Goldberg right back into the 60-man divide with the title of Shadow World.
00:54:03I can't stay with us.
00:54:04But Tony, wouldn't you sign him?
00:54:06I can't answer that brand-up.
00:54:08Mike?
00:54:09I wouldn't be in the same room with Bam Bam Bigelow to even put a contract down, all right?
00:54:13That's how volatile and dangerous this man is.
00:54:16Yeah, but think how valuable he would be if he's able to knock off Goldberg if he's the one to break the street.
00:54:21Watch out!
00:54:22Oh, my goodness!
00:54:23Tony, you're a wolf.
00:54:25Oh, my goodness!
00:54:27What a superplex!
00:54:30He's got him!
00:54:34Benoit!
00:54:35Another high-risk move up to the top.
00:54:38Loves the diving head.
00:54:40And he caught it!
00:54:42Good night, Mr. Hart.
00:54:47Benoit could have the match won right here.
00:54:50One, two!
00:54:52Bret Hart got away!
00:54:54Barely.
00:54:55Now, still fight, still fire left in the Hitman as he was able to kick out at two, and the knife-edge chop sends him reeling against the ropes.
00:55:03That takes him up and over the top.
00:55:05Benoit, the Crippler's not done yet.
00:55:07He hits the other side.
00:55:08Big small slide, drop kick, that missed.
00:55:10Watch out!
00:55:11Watch out!
00:55:12Those pins are down again, and...
00:55:13That's okay.
00:55:14...wielding a chair here.
00:55:16And to untangle it from the television court.
00:55:20It's been one of his favorite weapons as of late.
00:55:22He ought to get away from it.
00:55:23Should've been locked.
00:55:24Oh!
00:55:25Oh!
00:55:26He's off!
00:55:27Good night!
00:55:28That is payback!
00:55:29Good night!
00:55:30Good night!
00:55:33Luke by the steel chair, die by the steel chair!
00:55:36Clean your beak.
00:55:37We're all ready to go.
00:55:39Got it up.
00:55:40They're standing in Wichita.
00:55:44As that chair wrapped the head up.
00:55:46What's Mickey J?
00:55:47Oh!
00:55:48Oh!
00:55:49Oh, Mickey!
00:55:50Cheap shot.
00:55:51I don't wanna jump on a referee, but let him hit him on the chair!
00:55:54Well, Mickey didn't know what he was doing.
00:55:56He was distracted.
00:55:58And look at Bret Hart.
00:56:00I get surprised the man went down.
00:56:03Put the chair down, Hart!
00:56:04Don't forget, he's used his chair on Diamond Dallas.
00:56:07Oh!
00:56:08He's used him on Sting, everybody else.
00:56:11Yeah, Mickey's calling for the bell, but Mickey, oh.
00:56:15He would call Bret Hart maybe the chairman of the board.
00:56:19He's going for that arm, too.
00:56:20That's a very, very susceptible.
00:56:23Well, he's had a history of arm injury.
00:56:25Yeah, sure.
00:56:26He had an awful one, right?
00:56:27Oh, that's also the arm that he uses for that Crippler Crossface.
00:56:30Bret Hart just doesn't care anymore.
00:56:36As Bobby just mentioned, that's a previously injured arm.
00:56:40Just had surgery.
00:56:41Oh!
00:56:42And again, the steel.
00:56:43Horseman, horseman.
00:56:44Dean Malenko, who's the only remaining horseman that can legally compete
00:56:49because Arne Anderson and Mongo are both gone, has taken Bret Hart out of the ring.
00:56:55Bret Hart is more out of control right now than I've ever seen him in the 20 years I've known this man.
00:57:05I know him, I know his father, I know his mother, which isn't a real big treat, but he's out of control.
00:57:17Thank goodness for Dean Malenko.
00:57:18Now we have to wonder how much damage would have been done to the arm of the Crippler.
00:57:23He may be crippled.
00:57:24That left arm, that elbow.
00:57:26Thank goodness this scene.
00:57:32He's not looking.
00:57:33He's not done yet.
00:57:34He wants more.
00:57:35Oh my, could never turn you back on this man.
00:57:37That's what happened.
00:57:39He turned his back on him.
00:57:42Malenko turned his back and Bret Hart waited for the opportune moment.
00:57:46He still wants to go at Benoit.
00:57:49The list is growing longer, the men who have gone down at the hands of this maniac.
00:57:54Nobody is shaping up.
00:58:03Holy smokes, look at this.
00:58:05It's Diamond.
00:58:06Diamond does.
00:58:07He's in.
00:58:08He's in.
00:58:09He's in to the card a little week ago.
00:58:13Yeah.
00:58:14He looks okay to me.
00:58:17DDP is back.
00:58:22And listen to the fans go wild.
00:58:24Yeah.
00:58:25He's not done.
00:58:27He will be.
00:58:28Take him out.
00:58:33He looks healthy.
00:58:34He looks ready.
00:58:35He looks-
00:58:36He looks like the United States Heavyweight Champion.
00:58:39Yes.
00:58:40That's what he looks like.
00:58:41You bet, Mike.
00:58:42You bet, Mike.
00:58:43Get that man a microphone.
00:58:48Buy that man a drink.
00:58:50Listen to him.
00:58:51They're standing.
00:58:52He's so limping.
00:58:55Look at that.
00:58:56Hey, Wichita, what's up?
00:58:58Hey, Bret, where you going?
00:59:07You asked me to bring this to you.
00:59:09There it is.
00:59:14I don't think Hart's gonna turn around now.
00:59:16Well, maybe, yep, he didn't.
00:59:19Goodbye.
00:59:20Keep on going.
00:59:21Done.
00:59:22Easy.
00:59:23When I think of Bret Hart, I put him on the same level as our new presidential candidate, Hollywood Scum.
00:59:43Scum!
00:59:44Oh, yeah!
00:59:45And his on again, off again, buddy, Randy, Macho Scum Savage.
00:59:54They're all the same animal, just a different kind of scum.
01:00:00Bret, the hit scum Hart, last week, calls me out, knowing I'm laid up, and says,
01:00:12Paige, save yourself the embarrassment.
01:00:15Just come and hand me the belt back.
01:00:18Well, here, Bret, come and get it!
01:00:22Oh, yeah!
01:00:23I didn't think so.
01:00:28Bottom line is, Hart, yeah, you did lay me up for a few weeks, but it doesn't matter how many times DDP goes down, it's how many times Paige gets back up.
01:00:43And I'm up, I'm back, and I'm jacked!
01:00:55Jacked to the moon, and I'm taking you Bret Hits Scum Hart with me.
01:01:02Before Dylan was fired, I got a contract, World War III, you and me!
01:01:10Oh, yeah!
01:01:11You, hit scum, want some cum, get some cum!
01:01:24Diamond Dallas Paige will be at World War III after Bret Hart!
01:01:30We're back, Bam Bam Bigelow makes his way out.
01:01:36And fans, very briefly, a very special on Get World War III, Miss Connie Caret.
01:01:41And we hope you're back on your feet very, very soon from all of us at WCW.
01:01:45And speaking of being on your feet-
01:01:46She's a goldbreaker, she's fine.
01:01:48Speaking of being on your feet, I tell you, this man can knock them off his feet.
01:01:51Uh-oh!
01:01:52This man, Bam Bam Bigelow, no special entrance, no music, just walked in the ring, much like he walked in the ring into the arena earlier tonight.
01:02:02And I can tell you right now, we are going to go into overtime, as you can see, past the 11 o'clock Eastern Time Hour.
01:02:10This is going to be one of the darndest fights we've ever had on this program.
01:02:14Oh, no doubt about it.
01:02:15Goldberg has made that long walk before.
01:02:27He fears no man, but he's going into the ring against a man that maybe he should fear.
01:02:32Well, the beast from the east has turned Nitro upside down in Wichita.
01:02:37Goldberg, can you believe it?
01:02:39The world's heavyweight champion demanded this match.
01:02:42Mike, let me tell you this, both of you guys, he doesn't know anything about Bam Bam Bigelow.
01:02:47And I know of.
01:02:48He's at a...
01:02:51He's at a bad disadvantage right now.
01:02:54Against a man who doesn't even work here.
01:02:57The man!
01:03:00Goldberg.
01:03:05Oh, my.
01:03:06The explosion that precedes Goldberg, never more intense as it is right now.
01:03:21Where is he?
01:03:24Oh, there he is.
01:03:26Oh!
01:03:27And there's Bam Bam.
01:03:29Bigelow.
01:03:31As we thought he would.
01:03:33Didn't wait.
01:03:34They went in the ring and Goldberg's firing back.
01:03:36Look at Goldberg go.
01:03:40Bigelow and Goldberg.
01:03:42Oh, what a fight.
01:03:44This is like a back alley brawl.
01:03:47It's bigger than that.
01:03:48Look at that.
01:03:49My money's on Goldberg.
01:03:53Are you so sure?
01:03:54Look at, oh, my goodness.
01:03:56No, my money's on Bam Bam.
01:03:58Security's gonna try to get him in the ring, but I can tell you right now it's not gonna work.
01:04:03They've sent everybody down.
01:04:06How would you like to be there to pull those two apart?
01:04:10Need to try to get him in the ring, I'm sure.
01:04:14Goldberg never had a chance to get on track in this match.
01:04:17Fans, we are really out of time.
01:04:21No, no, let's go keep going.
01:04:22This fight continues.
01:04:23No, let's keep going.
01:04:24Keep going.
