00:00:00When we come back, the NWO black and white will battle for a battle royal.
00:00:05The winner will be the new leader of the black and the white,
00:00:08and we'll have it next on an all-new Nitro.
00:00:11I am Ricky Rackman, a new part of the new WCW.
00:00:18Yes, I am the new guy.
00:00:20Yes, I am now the low man on the totem pole.
00:00:23Okay, yeah, maybe Disco Inferno's a little bit lower,
00:00:25but after that, I am the low man on the totem pole.
00:00:28But right now, I've got to tell y'all about the WCW hotline.
00:00:32This is the number you should be calling.
00:00:34It's written right there.
00:00:35You see it.
00:00:36You should be calling it.
00:00:37You've got me and Gene.
00:00:38You've got Mark Madden.
00:00:39Mike Tanae is going to give you all the info on everything that's happening on WCW.
00:00:44And when you call that number on Mondays, you're going to get the entire weekend wrap-up.
00:00:49Now, listen, if you're a kid, ask your parents,
00:00:51please, can I call the WCW hotline?
00:00:54And they'll let you because they love you.
00:00:56They really, really do.
00:00:59Just like the people in Vegas, they love you, too.
00:01:02They hate me, but they love you.
00:01:03Let's go back to the guys in the booth for some more wrestling action.
00:01:07Thank you, low man on the totem pole.
00:01:09Now he's going to carry your bag tonight, isn't he, Brink?
00:01:11Brink he is?
00:01:12I don't have any luggage.
00:01:14Fans this past Thursday, Hollywood Hogan said that the Wolfpack
00:01:17deems that the black and white must get together and decide who's in charge.
00:01:21Here's the law that Hogan laid down.
00:01:28Put him to the side.
00:01:30Come on, man.
00:01:31Sorry.
00:01:32We're going to have another base.
00:01:33There it is.
00:01:33It's all going to work out, trust me.
00:01:35Big man, Max.
00:01:36Big cap.
00:01:36If I could have a moment with the black and white, that would be really too cool.
00:01:40Just one moment, please.
00:01:42I'm going to have some coffee anyway.
00:01:44So I'm going to wake up.
00:01:45Oh, man.
00:01:45It's not too good.
00:01:46I'll call you now.
00:01:46What are you talking about?
00:01:48Come on.
00:01:52Gentlemen, ho.
00:01:53Personally, I don't even get too close to these guys.
00:01:55I've had enough problems.
00:01:56That's all right.
00:01:57Everything's going to be straight.
00:01:58We are family.
00:02:00The deal is a lot of controversy, a lot of heat, man.
00:02:04I thought Big Brown was just going to wipe me out one of them tornado punches
00:02:07about the leadership of the black and white.
00:02:10Yeah, we got one question for you.
00:02:11What's with you telling each one of us that we was the boss?
00:02:15What's the deal on that?
00:02:16Here's the deal, okay.
00:02:18Overwhelmed with talent, size, persona, the whole deal.
00:02:23When I looked at all you guys, I tell you, I'm the one that dropped the ball.
00:02:27I realized that one of you guys was going to rise to the top
00:02:31and get that leadership quality, that leadership positioning
00:02:34to lead the black and white.
00:02:36So what I did was I threw the bone out there.
00:02:37I made a mistake.
00:02:39Shouldn't have done it to you guys.
00:02:40Just to see who was going to become the leader.
00:02:43Who was only the strong to survive.
00:02:45But what happened was each and every one you qualified.
00:02:49So the problem lies within this NWO black and white thing.
00:02:53It's so strong.
00:02:54We still need a lead dog.
00:02:56So what we're looking at here coming up in Vegas town where everybody likes to bet and gamble
00:03:01is since we're all friends here, we can forget about that just for a couple minutes in Vegas
00:03:06and get in the ring and the last man standing, a la the old battle royal type rules,
00:03:12the last man standing is really the man with the leadership qualities
00:03:17and will lead the black and white NWO.
00:03:18That's the only way we can work this thing out.
00:03:21I mean, how can I point at you and not you or you and not Horace.
00:03:23I mean, give me a break.
00:03:25Nothing to do with blood, family.
00:03:26It's all you know.
00:03:27That personal stuff has nothing to do with it.
00:03:29We're talking about business.
00:03:30Who's the leader?
00:03:31Only one way to do it, man.
00:03:33Hogan said it, only one way to do it, and now the NWO black and white battle royal
00:03:37with the last man standing to be the leader, Brain.
00:03:42Who would you pick, Tony?
00:03:46Not as a leader, who do you think is gonna win this battle royal?
00:03:50I would have to go with Bryan Adams.
00:03:52I would have to go with Horace.
00:03:57Horace.
00:03:59Hollywood calls his family of Hollywood Hogan?
00:04:02No, he's got a role.
00:04:03W-O.
00:04:06Whatever it is, fans, is gonna happen.
00:04:08It's gonna finally end here tonight.
00:04:10And look, we've got two referees.
00:04:14Two referees in this one.
00:04:16One in, one out.
00:04:19So, I mean, WCW is stepping it up here.
00:04:23Do a nice joke.
00:04:24Bodies will be flying.
00:04:26Now, it's over the top rope to the floor.
00:04:28Correct.
00:04:28That's how I understand a battle royal is.
00:04:32Yeah, but you gotta say it over and over again.
00:04:34Sometimes the people, you know, they're not real bright out there sitting on their rented furniture.
00:04:38Then, of course, sometimes the rules change and we're not notified of them.
00:04:41You know how that is.
00:04:43I know how that is.
00:04:44This is the new world order.
00:04:49Will he be the man in charge?
00:04:52Speaking of the new world order, Hollywood Hogan, you heard what he said on Thursday.
00:04:56Hollywood Hogan will be in the ring later on tonight.
00:04:59DDP, world champ Ric Flair and Goldberg are crossed the way in a four-corner Texas tornado-style match for the world title.
00:05:07It's live on this program, and let's not, even though it's exciting, and even though that it has a profound impact on our sport,
00:05:16we cannot overlook the fact that Goldberg must go up against these three men tonight
00:05:21and still must face Kevin Nash on Sunday night at Spring Stampede.
00:05:25I think how lucky and the position Kevin Nash is in.
00:05:29Goldberg could lead here tonight, heavyweight champion of the world.
00:05:32That would give Nash an opportunity to become heavyweight champion of the world.
00:05:37That's a good call, Brain.
00:05:39A lot of ways this can go.
00:05:40This is becoming very, very interesting.
00:05:43Well, there was your favorite horse, Hogan, and Horace into the ring.
00:05:47And now, here comes Big Brian Adams.
00:05:50These men have certainly paid their dues.
00:05:55They have had some very physical match-up conversations as of late with each other, as a matter of fact.
00:06:03And now, Stevie Ray.
00:06:09As Stevie Ray comes out, he reminds us to let you know before the match gets underway,
00:06:15a big announcement for our fans in St. Louis.
00:06:18The next pay-per-view after Spring Stampede, the one in May, is Slamboree, if you come to Dome.
00:06:25The date this year is Sunday, May 8th.
00:06:27Tickets will go on sale this coming Saturday.
00:06:32At the home of Slamboree this year, the TWA Dome in St. Louis.
00:06:36Get your tickets at the TWA Dome Box Office and all usual outlets.
00:06:41That's this coming, I said Saturday, I'm staying corrected.
00:06:44It's Friday, this coming Friday, April the 9th.
00:06:48The bell has sounded.
00:06:53It's a battle royal.
00:06:56Referee inside, referee outside, and here we go.
00:07:01Who's going to be the last man standing?
00:07:02Brian Adams goes right after Horace and trying to dump him out.
00:07:06I think, try to do it quickly.
00:07:07Yeah, I would.
00:07:08Element of surprise here.
00:07:09And now we've got a two-on-one while Horace on the other side is a man alone, and
00:07:14he'll pair off here with Vincent.
00:07:17So many things can happen.
00:07:18So many unexpected occurrences can happen during a battle royal with 20 men, which
00:07:23is a norm or, as you probably know, with our World War III event, 60 men.
00:07:27But now four.
00:07:30Four tough men.
00:07:33Four men out on their own.
00:07:36Every man for himself.
00:07:37And a lot's at stake here.
00:07:38The winner of this match becomes leader of the NWO, black and white.
00:07:42Becomes leader of the other three men he's defeated.
00:07:45I hope he's not gonna turn over total power to anyone.
00:07:49Well, I can understand that, but this is a very important honor for someone here.
00:07:54It sure means a lot more money within the pay structure of the NWO, one would think.
00:07:59I mean, that's what it's all about, right?
00:08:01You know anything about their pay structure?
00:08:02I know something about it.
00:08:04Tell me what you know, and I'll tell you to your right.
00:08:05I'm not gonna let you know anything.
00:08:06Watch out.
00:08:07Vince almost gone out that time by Horace.
00:08:11Horace had Vincent up on a top rope, but couldn't get him over.
00:08:14And Vince's going to go for a jawbreaker, and it works.
00:08:19Get him out.
00:08:20Dump him over that rope.
00:08:21Well, Stevie Ray that time went over the top rope, but he landed on the apron of the ring, so he's okay.
00:08:27He'll go back in.
00:08:28That was a close one that time.
00:08:32Notice how the big men are pairing off with each other.
00:08:35As obviously, Adams and Stevie Ray both feel that they're the strong men being the bigger men here,
00:08:41and that they need to neutralize each other, eliminate maybe one or the other,
00:08:45and work on the other two.
00:08:47Well, if I was in there, I didn't want to fight the smaller men.
00:08:49I wouldn't want to go up against Stevie Ray or Adams.
00:08:52If you were in there, you'd be running right now.
00:08:54Who are you trying to fool?
00:08:55I've seen you in Battle Royale.
00:08:58You do what you have to do, Tony.
00:08:59Sure you do.
00:09:00I understand that.
00:09:01Whatever it takes to win.
00:09:03So caution to the win.
00:09:05No.
00:09:06Katie barred the door.
00:09:08Any other cliche you want to use, that's apropos here for Battle Royale.
00:09:15Look at Horace.
00:09:16He's trying to get the big man out.
00:09:18I mean, they have literally been trying to throw each other out instead of just tossing each other
00:09:22or wearing a person down to the point to where they can't defend against themselves.
00:09:26But they're not four real bright guys.
00:09:28Oh, they're not.
00:09:29I'll tell you why.
00:09:30You call them four dummies in the ring, is that what you say?
00:09:31Yeah, that's what I'm calling them because they're pairing off.
00:09:34I'd strike a deal.
00:09:35I would have three get one out, two get the other one.
00:09:38That's what I would do.
00:09:39How can you strike a deal when there's every man for himself?
00:09:41Okay, right now.
00:09:42Right now you see Horace trying to dump him out.
00:09:45That's right.
00:09:46Come over and help Horace dump him out.
00:09:48That's one less man you have to fight.
00:09:49But he's not doing that.
00:09:52And that may not be good strategy because Stevie Ray could have been moments from being out.
00:09:57You know Stevie Ray and Vince have had problems.
00:09:59But Vince went and pounded on Horace and they only Stevie Ray to stay back in.
00:10:05Is that what you're trying to say?
00:10:06Saying we should gang up on somebody.
00:10:09Start throwing some bodies out.
00:10:16Again, the winner.
00:10:17Will be the leader of the black and the white.
00:10:21Horace gonna dump him.
00:10:22Stevie Ray is hooking onto that top rope.
00:10:24Now the middle rope to try to prevent himself from going out.
00:10:26Meanwhile, Bryan Adams and Vince it.
00:10:29See now if Adams turning around right now.
00:10:32He could dump Stevie Ray right now.
00:10:33Right, then there'd be three.
00:10:34He'd only have to fight two men instead of three.
00:10:38I'm following your thinking brain, which is a very scary thought.
00:10:41Up on top.
00:10:43Forget about the pin that time.
00:10:44As they are just hammering away on each other here.
00:10:51The tip of the iceberg, so to speak.
00:10:53In what's gonna be the remainder of this Monday Nitro program.
00:10:57With our Texas Tornado four corner match for the world title.
00:11:00Horace is almost gone.
00:11:01Look at Tony, Horace is almost out.
00:11:02Vince almost went out that time.
00:11:06And that time Vince does go out.
00:11:09Now it's three.
00:11:11Three Little Indians now.
00:11:13And now Bryan Adams nails Stevie Ray.
00:11:17And that stops the momentum of sending Horace out.
00:11:21Look at Vincent.
00:11:22He's not done.
00:11:22He grabs the foot of Horace, but he's gone.
00:11:25Tony, he's done.
00:11:27Is he ever.
00:11:32Now Stevie Ray could have been gone.
00:11:34They're striking a little deal here now, I do believe.
00:11:36Listen, look at this.
00:11:38Rain, you called it right.
00:11:39You're not as dumb as you make out to be sometimes.
00:11:41They have struck a deal.
00:11:45To send out Stevie Ray.
00:11:46So both now Bryan Adams and Horace will remain at the end.
00:11:55Pair of elbows puts Stevie Ray hard to the mat.
00:12:01Wear him down.
00:12:02Take all the fight out of him.
00:12:03Take his strength away from him.
00:12:05Then he's all yours.
00:12:09Okay.
00:12:09They now agreed on how they're gonna do it, I guess.
00:12:11A little nod to the head that time.
00:12:13Stevie Ray ducked.
00:12:14Stevie Ray comes away.
00:12:16With a superb move.
00:12:17A double lariat.
00:12:18Sending both men down.
00:12:20Now my strategy right now would be if I was Stevie Ray,
00:12:23I'd roll out of the ring to the floor.
00:12:25You know why?
00:12:26I would have let these two fight it out.
00:12:28Well, I got all my energy back.
00:12:31Isn't that illegal in the confines of a battle royale
00:12:34to get on the floor?
00:12:35No, illegal is a sick bird.
00:12:38Now if you don't go over the top rope,
00:12:39you can slide out until they catch you.
00:12:42Bigfoot caught Horace in the jaw that time.
00:12:44Put him down as Bryan Adams remains propped up in the corner on the left side.
00:12:49And Stevie Ray feeling pretty good about himself right now.
00:12:52He should.
00:12:54He's in control.
00:12:56But who is gonna be the ultimate man in control?
00:12:58Horace is set.
00:13:00No, no, no.
00:13:01He put the brakes on that time.
00:13:02Come on, baby.
00:13:05And now Stevie Ray squaring off against Bryan Adams.
00:13:10Horace is- Come on.
00:13:13And he sent him down with a lariat that time.
00:13:16Man.
00:13:19Not really a good way to call that move, now he's a brain.
00:13:24In the confines of what we can and cannot say.
00:13:27Don't even think of something to say.
00:13:30I've got about eight things I wanna say.
00:13:32Back and forth they go.
00:13:34There's a pick up.
00:13:37Well, I've got 11 things I wanna say.
00:13:40Tilt the world, backbreaker, Horace is down.
00:13:43Adams is in charge now, both men are down.
00:13:46Stevie Ray's probably the most wounded.
00:13:48I'd go after him.
00:13:49Up, way up.
00:13:54Air, Horace.
00:13:57He gouts the eyes.
00:13:58Adams turns around, and Adams is gone.
00:14:02Well, I'm 50% away from being right.
00:14:04It's either gonna be Horace or Stevie Ray.
00:14:07The only way it can go, Horace turning it on right now.
00:14:11Got you, baby.
00:14:12Two men who have had their confrontations.
00:14:17It's Stevie Ray, it's Horace outside.
00:14:18It's Stevie Ray, it's Stevie Ray.
00:14:21Like I said, Chabani, the man I selected, your winner, Stevie Ray.
00:14:28As this excitement continues in the ring, here on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:14:34Let's take a look at DDT.
00:14:36We're back on WCW's brand new Monday Nitro.
00:14:53Tony Schiavone along with Bobby the Brain Heenan.
00:14:57The team.
00:14:59And fans, we're gonna take a look at what happened last week in the World Tag Team title.
00:15:04Come on, ref, turn around.
00:15:09No referee to make a count.
00:15:11Boy, he's got so much to do.
00:15:13He won the outside, he'll see if you're up and walk, pick up.
00:15:17What a move.
00:15:20And he gets back up on his feet, and look at Satter walk out with Raven.
00:15:25Remember last week, Mike, today.
00:15:27It was at night, they challenged for the tag title.
00:15:30Texas Cloverleaf on the way.
00:15:32He's got him.
00:15:32Where's the referee?
00:15:34There's Raven.
00:15:36Raven just even flowed Malenko.
00:15:38And the referee doesn't see it, they did it behind the referee's back.
00:15:42Great wrestling, great wrestling.
00:15:47One, two, three.
00:15:50New Tag Champs.
00:15:52Wow.
00:15:54New World Tag Team Champions.
00:16:01They're giving them the straps, they're giving them the belts, the title is theirs.
00:16:06One week ago on Monday Nitro, New World Tag Team Champs, and as the Nitro Girls come out,
00:16:12the interesting story about all that, we're going to have the World Tag Team Champs defend against
00:16:17Raven and Terry Sattern in a moment, but we're going to have what I think is the first time ever in this sport.
00:16:23The members of the Tag Team Champs, Ray Jr. Kidman, go at each other in a Cruiserweight title match at Spring Stampede this Sunday.
00:16:30Very unusual, very interesting turn of events for Spring Stampede this Sunday.
00:16:36You can agree to that if you want.
00:16:37I'm watching something.
00:16:38I understand what you're watching.
00:16:39Once again, fans, this coming Friday, the 9th of April, tickets go on sale for Slamboree.
00:16:44The date's Sunday, May 9th at the TWA Dome in St. Louis.

00:17:11How many times you get up to go up and really be face-to-face, hand-to-handshake away from the Nature Boy and the Nitro Lady.
00:17:19Of course, St. Louis always a big city as far as Ric Flair is concerned.

00:17:46Tickets available at the Box Office at all usual locations.
00:17:49And speaking of Thunder, we want to say best wishes to our broadcast colleagues, Mike Tanay and the living legend, Larry Zbysko.
00:18:02They're your new Thunder broadcast team, and the Thunder, I understand, will be this Wednesday on TVS.
00:18:08Originating this Wednesday instead of Thursday because of Braves Baseball on our sister network, TBS, Brink.
00:18:17I don't think Tanay wants to work on Thursdays.
00:18:20Well, Tanay doesn't have a choice.
00:18:22You know how he can get.
00:18:24The way do I ever.
00:18:27Here they come, the World Tag Team champs.
00:18:31Bray Jr. and Kippen Jr., a two-fold champion.
00:18:36World Tag Team champs, and he's also the Cruiserweight champion, winning the belt from Kidman.
00:18:42And he'll defend the belt against Kidman this Sunday, and they're both World Tag Team champs.
00:18:48That's the best I can explain.
00:18:50Well, I think he's the only man right now for a long time here at WCW, who has held two titles at the same time.
00:18:57Well deserving of that as well, but of course, when you're holding two belts, that means they're coming at you from-
00:19:03And your hands are full.
00:19:05Yeah, you're right.
00:19:06Meets are coming at you from two different sides.
00:19:12We are jam-packed.
00:19:14Tickets went quick.
00:19:17That's Saturday's one scary dude.
00:19:20There's something wrong with that man.
00:19:24Definitely something wrong with him.
00:19:27I don't think we can fix.
00:19:28Yeah, we talk about freaks.
00:19:29That man's a freak.
00:19:33The Lightning Quick Tag Team and the very unusual, isn't this, it's a bizarre story, isn't it?
00:19:42Raven and Saturn, full circle so to speak, getting back together.
00:19:47I mean, it's pretty apparent that Raven has not many friends at all.
00:19:52Saturn apparently back in the fold now as a close confidant of Raven.
00:19:56Maybe he never left.
00:19:57Maybe this was all a grand plan.
00:19:59As Ray gets a foot up, Saturn picks him up and refs, picks him up, hits it or take cover.
00:20:04Raven is in.
00:20:05Ray through the legs, to the midsection.
00:20:08Ray Jr is up top.
00:20:11Watch this.
00:20:12Saturn is two.
00:20:13He caught him.
00:20:14They got him.
00:20:15They got him right here.
00:20:16What a move.
00:20:17They have him.
00:20:18They got him.
00:20:19Cover him.
00:20:21Wipes out Kidman on the other end, and they didn't go over the cover brain, and that is a mistake.
00:20:26Tony, they may be a great tag team, but they're not thinking, and they're not on the same page with each other.
00:20:31You don't get paid by the hour, you get paid by the win.
00:20:34Well, the map may be understandable, they haven't been back together that long.
00:20:39Well, I mean, you don't have to be a genius to tell you have Rey Mysterio in trouble, take advantage of it.
00:20:44They're not done yet.
00:20:45That wasn't a guillotine leg drop.
00:20:50He dropped his rear end right along his face that time.
00:20:53One, two.
00:20:55But he's in the ropes.
00:20:57Well, I think all four of these men know each other quite well, and they know how much fights in each man.
00:21:06Like you say, I didn't think Raven had a friend.
00:21:09Well, we saw the footage from a week ago when Saturn and Raven caused the Horsemen to lose the tag team belts.
00:21:16There's a grudge tag team match between those two teams this Sunday at Spring Stampede,
00:21:21where the Horsemen are looking for revenge against Raven and Saturn.
00:21:26Tag make.
00:21:27Kidman is in.
00:21:28On the money.
00:21:29Again.
00:21:30Lightning fast drop kicks.
00:21:31He's gonna hit the jackpot here.
00:21:33Go for the big payoff.
00:21:35Face fires dropping Saturn down.
00:21:37He's got the bulldog on Raven.
00:21:40Oh.
00:21:41Billy Kidman.
00:21:42Mysterio up on the other corner.
00:21:44Double your pleasure, double your fun, guys.
00:21:47Oh.
00:21:48They connect.
00:21:49Kidman took the worst on it.
00:21:52Two and he made a save in Raven.
00:21:54Kidman, you're right, caught the knees from Saturn in the gut.
00:21:58All right, I'm told we do have to take a short come out.
00:22:02My goodness.
00:22:03He landed in the front row.
00:22:05We gotta take a commercial break.
00:22:07By the time we return, we may have them all back in the ring.
00:22:10Then again, this is Nitro, so you never know.
00:22:13What do you mean?
00:22:14The World Tag Team chants are in a tough spot here.
00:22:21They are being overwhelmed by a duo who is bigger than Sai in size, and I think maybe
00:22:28working better as a tag team right now.
00:22:31Working better than they did at the beginning.
00:22:33They had an opportunity that they didn't take advantage of.
00:22:35Maybe they got with it by now.
00:22:37Dennis.
00:22:38My goodness.
00:22:40Called 911 and sweep him up in a cigarette carton.
00:22:45Kidman was 25.
00:22:50That was incredible.
00:22:52He hit shoulder first.
00:22:54Never touched the rope.
00:22:55Never touched the rope.
00:22:58The things these athletes go through.
00:23:03Now there's a chair in the ring, and I have not been advised whether this is Raven's Rules or not.
00:23:07I would think so.
00:23:08But taking a look at that, I guess I got my answer here.
00:23:13Drop to hold, bent up the chair.
00:23:16Good move for Kidman getting the elbow up.
00:23:18One.
00:23:19Two.
00:23:20Into the face of Rey Mysterio.
00:23:22Made the save.
00:23:23Barely.
00:23:24Quickly ducks the chair out with help from Billy Silverman.
00:23:27Billy Kidman is in dire straits.
00:23:32And he needs to get Rey in.
00:23:35Meanwhile, here comes Saturn.
00:23:39Bringing Raven in, a gut shot at him.
00:23:42Good tag team wrestling.
00:23:43Good teamwork.
00:23:44Meanwhile on the other side, it's Mysterio trying to get the fans to help.
00:23:54Kidman rally back.
00:23:55The big splash.
00:23:56Go for the pin, or slap an abdominal stretch on, or do something, or give him a backbreaker.
00:24:04Don't tag your partner and leave him wounded there.
00:24:06You have to seize the moment.
00:24:09Little misstep, and therefore it cost him, because Kidman with a desperation move,
00:24:15puts this on equal footing for the time being.
00:24:18Kidman's gotta make the tag to Ray Jr.
00:24:20Ray Jr.
00:24:21Ray Jr.'s reaching but Saturn made the exchange.
00:24:24Here comes Rey Mysterio.
00:24:26Fast press.
00:24:27Pulls off of him.
00:24:31Irish whip in, springboard to a moonsault.
00:24:34He's got him.
00:24:35Caught in midair.
00:24:37But it's Saturn sent in.
00:24:39Drop kick in the back.
00:24:40Raven in now.
00:24:43Spin wheel kick by the Cruiserweight champ.
00:24:48In the front gunbuster.
00:24:59Stop sign that he did not see.
00:25:01And he goes down.
00:25:02Two and a save by Kidman.
00:25:05Wow.
00:25:06Boy, that was a car wreck.
00:25:08Everybody cried out on that one, male and female.
00:25:12Show powerbomb.
00:25:14One, two.
00:25:16And Raven makes a save.
00:25:20Raven comes in.
00:25:22Raven executes a back slide.
00:25:26One, two, and a save that time by Ray Jr.
00:25:28Now they're trying to win it.
00:25:30We're going back and forth and back and forth.
00:25:33It's gonna happen pretty soon.
00:25:34Someone's gotta win this.
00:25:35Savant kick, drop kick, center.
00:25:37Into the referee.
00:25:38Into the referee.
00:25:39Elevated by Raven.
00:25:41What's gonna happen next?
00:25:44Ray's going up.
00:25:45That's what's gonna happen.
00:25:46He's up.
00:25:48From the top.
00:25:51The Huracanrana.
00:25:52He's not done.
00:25:54Fight on the floor.
00:25:56Ray's up.
00:25:57Sanders got him.
00:25:58Sanders got Ray Jr.
00:25:59Death Valley driver.
00:26:00No referee.
00:26:01But there's a horseman.
00:26:02Dean Malenko.
00:26:03And Benoit.
00:26:04Benoit fights on the floor.
00:26:05Still the referee now.
00:26:06Vertical suplex on Sanders.
00:26:07Turns this way around.
00:26:08Here comes Benoit.
00:26:09You know how he can fly.
00:26:22Whoa.
00:26:24They're making a push down.
00:26:26They're not waiting this Sunday.
00:26:29But the referee is still out.
00:26:32He rolls Ray on top of Sanders.
00:26:37He rolls Ray on top of center, Kidman gets the referee, one, two, and three.
00:26:46That's not right.
00:26:47That may not be right, but that's wrestling.
00:26:54And it's final.
00:26:55Still to come tonight,
00:27:01we have a four corner Texas Tornado match.
00:27:07We check in on the one and only Hollywood Hogan.
00:27:13Hogan, Goldberg, Ric Flair, DDP, four men for one car.
00:27:19Who will walk away the world champ?
00:27:21It's tonight, live on Nitro.
00:27:24Hogan's ready.
00:27:25Welcome back to Monday Nitro.
00:27:38Welcome back to Monday Nitro.
00:27:42Tony Schiavone, Bobby the Brain Heenan.
00:27:45The team, the team.
00:27:48Hey, you know what?
00:27:49The radio voice is bad, isn't it?
00:27:51I got some good news for you.
00:27:53You know, we're no longer on Thunder, you and I, right?
00:27:57I love it, though.
00:27:58You did?
00:27:59No.
00:27:59No.
00:28:00That means that we don't have to go to Wichita again.
00:28:05Never planned to anyway.
00:28:07If you'd have been on Thunder, you had to go to Wichita.
00:28:10Tickets go on sale Saturday, April 10th, Saturday, for Thunder coming to the Kansas Coliseum on May 13th or Thursday in Wichita.
00:28:17Tickets go to Wichita, and select the seat outlets.
00:28:20You wouldn't have had it on either, Johnny.
00:28:23Wichita is closed on Thursday.
00:28:25So today and Zubinco go to Wichita, and we're in Las Vegas.
00:28:29Monday night.
00:28:31That's us.
00:28:32Here comes Chris Jericho, he's talking about working the rule book.
00:28:37Mr. Lupo eliminated from the tournament, but because of an injury to Kurt Henning,
00:28:41he gets back in the tournament.
00:28:43He's an amazing man, Mr. Teflon, if you will.
00:28:46He knows the loophole.
00:28:47And you know, it seems, if I can go back to Thursday, that Flair kinda likes this guy.
00:28:53And the winner of this match, Jericho and Booker T will go on to Spring Stampede,
00:28:58and win a Spring Stampede there, Ole Weasley U.
00:29:01Spring time.
00:29:02Yeah, I'm gonna win the game.
00:29:05It's Sunday.
00:29:07It's Sunday.
00:29:09See, you knew it all along, didn't you?
00:29:10Always know it.
00:29:11OG style.
00:29:12You ain't going nowhere, baby.
00:29:14Hey, hey, hey.
00:29:15The name of the venue.
00:29:16Tacoma Dome, Tacoma Washington.
00:29:18And live and only on, Greg, you can say the words to me.
00:29:22There you go.
00:29:24Boy, she cute.
00:29:25It's like baby dumplings.
00:29:28The event, now it was to be Ric Flair and Hollywood Hogan, remember?
00:29:36Spring Stampede, but Flair pulled that match.
00:29:39And we've got a four-corner Texas Tornado match to decide a world champion here tonight.
00:29:46We do know Goldberg and Kevin Nash will collide at Spring Stampede, and the winner of this will meet Scott Steiner coming up.
00:29:53And the Horsemen have laid the foundation for a wild tag team match against Saturn and Raven that they have coming up on Sunday with what they did tonight moments ago, helping Kidman and Mysterio retain the tag team belts.
00:30:07Well, I can't wait to see that from top to bottom.
00:30:10It's gonna be a tremendous, tremendous pay-per-view.
00:30:12And who knows what the outcome of this match is gonna be tonight.
00:30:15Four men in the ring at one time for the World Championship.
00:30:18Flair could come out the big loser.
00:30:20He could be the biggest loser in the history of Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:30:24What a grand night it's been.
00:30:27And I use that term.
00:30:28You know why?
00:30:29Because it's EMG of brand.
00:30:31It's a brand new Monday Nitro.
00:30:33We head towards the Millennium.
00:30:37Everything is a new, everything is great as far as WCW is concerned.
00:30:43And here we got two spectacular athletes in the ring.
00:30:45You like our new logo?
00:30:46Yeah, I like everything.
00:30:47I like the new set.
00:30:48I like everything.
00:30:49I do too.
00:30:50Live long and prosper.
00:30:51Come on, Jericho.
00:30:56Come on, Jericho.
00:30:57Reversing into a hammerlock.
00:30:58Running over Booker T as Jericho.
00:31:04Boy, Jericho, you can just see it in his eyes tonight.
00:31:06He's on top of his game.
00:31:08He's very confident.
00:31:09And you gotta be against a guy like Booker T who sent you down with a drum kick.
00:31:13Well, you know what Booker T can do, cuz he's done it.
00:31:15Man's held a tag team championship along with his brother, what, six, seven times?
00:31:19We know what they all can do.
00:31:20Yeah.
00:31:21Every one of them.
00:31:22We've seen it.
00:31:23No.
00:31:24We know what they can't do.
00:31:25We know what they don't wanna do.
00:31:27Go ahead.
00:31:28You talking to me?
00:31:29Oh, I'm talking to the other.
00:31:31Well, I'm going to do my own impression.
00:31:33Head first to the top turnbuckle.
00:31:38Booker T in tough now.
00:31:40Slap him in the back of the head as he sent him in, but Jericho will buy none of it.
00:31:44Foot to the face.
00:31:45Chris Jericho comes away now with an offensive flurry, or maybe not.
00:31:49Gut shot, Booker T.
00:31:51Jericho slips behind.
00:31:57A rib shot that time.
00:31:59My goodness.
00:32:01Not even close to the rib.
00:32:04Nowhere near it.
00:32:05Spring Boy drop kick to the apron.
00:32:09Who will go on to face Scott Steiner at Spring Stampede in the finals of the U.S. tournament?
00:32:19Paintbrush the man.
00:32:23The last man you want to paintbrush.
00:32:27Nice move by Jericho.
00:32:29Put the brakes on, holding the rope.
00:32:31Here's the insult and the ankles, the feet got up from Booker T.
00:32:36Adminutes Mark, the gut, another gut shot.
00:32:39I've been saying all along, a lot of people don't like Chris Jericho.
00:32:44They call him the man with all the loopholes, but he gets what he wants and he doesn't back down.
00:32:48He's a strategy in that ring.
00:32:50Absolutely.
00:32:51I like him.
00:32:52I think he's a fighter.
00:32:53I think they're all great.
00:32:55Well, we may have to wake him up next Thursday.
00:32:59Cause he got his head rocked.
00:33:01Amazingly Jericho comes away.
00:33:03His head hit the ring with such force.
00:33:06Amazing.
00:33:08Well, that's conditioning and you know that.
00:33:10You've seen him over the years to shape these things.
00:33:12What they do in the dress rooms, how they stretch and how they're constantly.
00:33:15Here we go.
00:33:16Here we go.
00:33:20Spin up to the Harlem sidekick.
00:33:23Booker T is gonna take it to the roof.
00:33:26He's going to, what's this?
00:33:28Scott Steiner.
00:33:30He'd have hit Booker T with that chair, Booker T wouldn't be here now.
00:33:36I guess he was going for Booker T, I guess he wants to face Jericho.
00:33:39Here we go.
00:33:41Jericho lands on Steiner.
00:33:43What do we got here?
00:33:49What do we have?
00:33:50The official verdict is now, look at this.
00:33:52They're gonna give the match to Booker T because of Steiner's interference with the chair.
00:33:57Trying to get Jericho the victory.
00:34:03Scott Steiner in effect cost Jericho the victory.
00:34:06But Scott Steiner didn't touch me with the chair.
00:34:08This is bad.
00:34:09This is a bad call as well as I'm concerned.
00:34:11You might be right.
00:34:12I guess it was the intent.
00:34:13Forget intent, the man did nothing wrong.
00:34:24So there it is.
00:34:29It will now be Booker T.
00:34:31Scott Steiner coming up.
00:34:33Great stampede for the belt.
00:34:35This portion of WCW Monday Nitro is brought to you by 1-800-COLLECT.

00:35:34I got Buck fans, look at that.
00:35:39Bankwell is my Buck body.
00:35:43Separation between he and Scott Steiner, well documented.
00:35:46And I think that you can make a case for both fans, having a remarkable body,
00:35:51being the greatest physique massively in our sport.
00:35:55Lex Luger, Hollywood Hogan, Steve Mulder.
00:35:58Big Kevin Nash.
00:35:59Big Kevin Nash.
00:36:00Goldberg.
00:36:01Goldberg.
00:36:02That's what it's all about when it gets right-
00:36:04Bam, bam.
00:36:05Bam.
00:36:06When it gets right down to it.
00:36:08Panamu athletes put in all the line on a, gosh, on a bi-weekly,
00:36:13sometimes tri-weekly basis, more than that.
00:36:16In many venues all around the country.

00:36:40The Nitro Girls in Iowa.
00:36:43A lot of possibilities there, wouldn't you think?
00:36:47Here comes Bam Bam Bigelow.
00:36:49Bam Bam Bigelow, we saw Hack with that Kendo stick match against Kendall
00:36:53Lindem earlier.
00:36:54Bam Bam Bigelow next offering here for Hack coming up at Spring Stampede
00:36:58and Bigelow will take anything Hack has and now Buff wants to make a
00:37:03little fun of the difference in sizes here.
00:37:08He could be doing that again from a gurney with no movement in the lower
00:37:11part of his body.
00:37:12He's having a good time.
00:37:13He's messing with this big guy.
00:37:14Well, you know, Buff's pretty confident in his abilities.
00:37:16He wouldn't do that had he not thought he could get away with it.
00:37:19Story of life.
00:37:20That's why people do things.
00:37:21Because they think they can get away with it.
00:37:23They get away with it, yeah.
00:37:24You and I are no different.
00:37:29And that time the head, the back of the neck, a very vulnerable area
00:37:32above Bagwell rock to the top turnbuckle.
00:37:38And Bigelow just tough, bruising right straight ahead.
00:37:41No finesse about him at all.
00:37:43But you see is what you get with Bigelow.
00:37:45He's from the east.
00:37:46Yes, he is.
00:37:47Asbury Park, New Jersey.
00:37:49A tough fighter.
00:37:50This is Buff!
00:37:51And it did not take Buff to running down his size to get him fired up.
00:37:55Bigelow's always that way.
00:37:58What will Sting say tonight, fans?
00:38:00We're on pins and needles.
00:38:02It should happen any time now, when Sting makes his message, his statement to the wrestling
00:38:07fans around the world.
00:38:08One, two, three.
00:38:09That's gonna transpire tonight, live on Monday night.
00:38:12You're on Las Vegas.
00:38:13Bam Bam down.
00:38:15Bam Bam went boom boom from Buff Buff.
00:38:20Good call, Brain.
00:38:22A little more of that weasel personality we've come to know through the years.
00:38:26It's coming through now that Tanay's not holding you down on these broadcasts.
00:38:31Take your foot off my tail.
00:38:34Please.
00:38:35We're getting personal here, aren't we?
00:38:37Tanay never held us down.
00:38:38Who used to go out and get coffee for us and stuff?
00:38:40That's right.
00:38:41Cold drinks.
00:38:42Get the newspaper, right?
00:38:43Sure.
00:38:44We're gonna miss him, Tony.
00:38:45You're gonna have to do it now.
00:38:46Drive us.
00:38:47Hey, wait.
00:38:48Hold.
00:38:49I guess I am.
00:38:50I'm headbutt now.
00:38:51That's Bigelow.
00:38:53Finds his mark on Buff Bagwell.
00:38:56Forearm shot.
00:38:58What I like about Bigelow, he always leans on you.
00:39:01Leans on you.
00:39:02Yeah, boy.
00:39:03I'm telling you, when a guy leans on you, it's like you're fighting three guys.
00:39:06One guy.
00:39:07You mean literally, not Bigelow.
00:39:08Literally.
00:39:09Right.
00:39:10No, I mean, he puts all his body weight on you when you're in the corner.
00:39:12That's right.
00:39:14Tried to go in with Reckless Abandoned Buff Bagwell, the defensive maneuver.
00:39:18Two in a row.
00:39:19Now Bigelow, but Bigelow, undaunted, comes back again.
00:39:23That time, Bagwell from the wagons came back to the point of attack in the ring,
00:39:27and met his mark.
00:39:28Other side.
00:39:39What we saw with the hack match we saw earlier, Indian in case.
00:39:43Look at that.
00:39:44Too much.
00:39:45Good effort that time.
00:39:46But Bigelow may win it here, but no.
00:39:48Come on, ref.
00:39:49That was a little bit slow, that count, I think.
00:39:52You think so, huh?
00:39:53I think so.
00:39:54Well, after the match, we call Mickey J. We're at ringside.
00:39:56If we can do that, we'll call him over here and let you admonish him a little bit.
00:40:02You wouldn't do that, would you?
00:40:05You don't know what admonished is, do you?
00:40:07Yes, I do.
00:40:08Well, what is it?
00:40:09One, two, three, four, come on.
00:40:14Save it to next week.
00:40:15And Bigelow now stalking, sending Mickey J back to a corner.
00:40:21Bigelow getting fired up here on Monday Nitro in Vegas, where in a few moments,
00:40:27the four corner Texas tornado match, anything goes for the biggest stars ever in
00:40:32the ring will go at it with the winner of the World Heavyweight Champion, Flair,
00:40:37Goldberg, Hogan, Page, it's all tonight.
00:40:44Buff doesn't really know what to do with this big man.
00:40:47You can't put your arms around him, you can barely pick him up.
00:40:50You can't pull his hair.
00:40:51Bigelow's focused quite well on the back of the neck, the head here of Buff Bagwell.
00:40:56Wouldn't you agree, Hair Heenan?
00:40:58Speaking of hair.
00:41:00Or lack of it.
00:41:01He's going up.
00:41:02Way up top.
00:41:03The big man gonna take flight.
00:41:08A resounding thud in the middle of the ring on that one.
00:41:14Not a bad follow up at all by Bagwell, would you say there, Brain?
00:41:21No, and he's setting him up, he's measuring him, and he's knocked him down twice already.
00:41:29Three times.
00:41:30Cross body, body.
00:41:31One, two.
00:41:32Cross, sir.
00:41:33Nope, not yet.
00:41:36Good effort by Bagwell.
00:41:41Uh-oh.
00:41:42He telegraphed that elbow smash that time, and you are hit the corner with Buff Daddy.
00:41:48And Bam Bam Bigelow.
00:41:51And look at this crowd, Shivani.
00:41:52That's the way it is here at WCW, refs got clipped.
00:41:55By the feet that time, referee goes down, Bagwell goes out.
00:41:58And Chastity.
00:42:06With a fire extinguisher in her hand, it looked like to me when she came around that corner.
00:42:09Good call, he got the kendo stick in his hand.
00:42:11Chastity circles around the other way.
00:42:13No love lost between these two.
00:42:16There she's got it.
00:42:19Bigelow gets nailed by the kendo stick, and the girl's got-
00:42:23Put out the fire, Chastity.
00:42:25Right on his head, too.
00:42:26That's what, you know, the-
00:42:27Those flames, you see, could burn you.
00:42:29You better put them out.
00:42:30That stuff could be so poison.
00:42:33Settle down here, Brain.
00:42:37Somebody get the weasel some water.
00:42:39Put it in the bowl, he'll lap it up.
00:42:41As the referee comes to, there's a fog in London.
00:42:47And Buff Bagwell's up top.
00:42:49Match not over yet, Brain.
00:42:51You just take some water.
00:42:53The blood buster.
00:42:55He's gonna win it.
00:42:58Thanks to the fire extinguisher.
00:43:03Thanks to Hack and Chastity.
00:43:06Retribution is gonna be Sunday when Bigelow and Hack go at it.
00:43:10Can you talk yet?
00:43:13Look at that, if you don't mind.
00:43:17Air is beginning to cool up here a little bit.
00:43:20Well, Bagwell got the win.
00:43:23Lucky to have that win, boy.
00:43:27They were out to get someone.
00:43:30Look at Bagwell here, misses with the punch.
00:43:32Hack came in, took that kendo stick.
00:43:35Whack, bam, bam, he charged Hack.
00:43:38And then Sparky got him right between the eyes with the fire extinguisher.
00:43:43Did you say Sparky?
00:43:44Sparky, that's her nickname.
00:43:45Sparky's her nickname.
00:43:46Bagwell takes him over, goes for pin.
00:43:49One, two, three.
00:43:52Only you can prevent winning like that.
00:43:56Sparky.
00:43:57Sparky.
00:43:58Your winner is Bob Bagwell.
00:44:01With the help of Sparky.
00:44:03Chastity Raven system.
00:44:05Hack and Bam Bam Bigelow will meet.
00:44:07You better be sure that on Sunday night, there's gonna be kendo sticks and a whole lot more in the ring.
00:44:12Back on Monday night for all a reminder, WCW returns to Philadelphia, the First Union Spectrum on May 1st.

00:44:57And as we saw at the top of the program, we have signed one of the biggest return matches ever.
00:45:15Big Sexy Kevin Nash and Goldberg will go at it once again, live this coming Sunday night.
00:45:45Big Sexy Kevin Nash Beach
00:46:03ط言 Games
00:46:07Big Sexy Kevin Nash
00:46:14Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the MGM Grand of Las Vegas,
00:46:20where it's time for the WCW Monday Nitro Main Event of the evening.
00:46:28Sanctioned by World Championship Wrestling, along with the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
00:46:34Tonight, four of the greatest superstars in professional wrestling are about to step into this ring.
00:46:41This will be a four-way dance, a four-man match.
00:46:48Texas Tornado rules will apply.
00:46:51All four men in the ring, when the bell rings, every man for himself.
00:46:57And this will be for the Heavyweight Championship of the World.
00:47:04Are you ready?
00:47:05Las Vegas, Nevada, are you ready?
00:47:18For the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching around the world.
00:47:28Ladies and gentlemen, let's get ready to rumble!
00:47:35We welcome to the broadcast location here at ringside, Mr. Impact.
00:47:44Big sexy Kevin Nash, who laid it on the line at the beginning of this program,
00:47:50making a challenge to Goldberg for this coming Sunday.
00:47:55Unbelievable, everything kills me as a production team is going to get that package together that quick.
00:48:02I'm going to give kudos.
00:48:04We've got a lot of people working here.
00:48:06Now making his entrance to the ring.
00:48:08Six feet one, 236 and one half pounds.
00:48:13From Charlotte, North Carolina, he has shown the world that he is the man.
00:48:19To beat the man, to beat the man, to beat the man.
00:48:23Not only is he the current world title holder, but he is president and CEO of World Championship Wrestling.
00:48:32Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the reigning and defending WCW Heavyweight Champion of the World,
00:48:42the Nature Boy, Rick Lamb!
00:48:53The Nature Boy, who was president of this company, pulled the world title match from Spring Stampede,
00:48:59wanted to face Hogan tonight, and then all of a sudden, everybody got involved,
00:49:02and that's why we've got what we've got tonight.
00:49:06And we still haven't seen Sting yet, but we know he's here.
00:49:09Now you know why I got involved.
00:49:13You're not kidding, I know why.
00:49:19The Wolfpack is again.
00:49:21And now making his entrance to the ring.
00:49:24Six feet seven inches tall, and weighing in at 276 pounds.
00:49:30He is, without a doubt, the most recognizable face and name in professional wrestling,
00:49:36known to fans on all seven continents.
00:49:40The leader and very foundation of the new world order, better known as NWO.
00:49:47Ladies and gentlemen, from Hollywood, USA, the former World Heavyweight Champion,
00:49:54Hollywood, Hollywood, Hogan!
00:50:00Interesting story here is that Flair wanted to just see in Hogan at first,
00:50:06but then it seemed like Paige and Goldberg kind of goaded Flair into making it into four corners.
00:50:10In a moment, DDP will come out, and they'll be standing as they are now.
00:50:25Here he comes, and we go back to Michael Buffer.
00:50:28And now, coming to the ring, number three out of four, six feet five inches tall, 253 pounds.
00:50:39One of the most popular superstars in the sport today.
00:50:42His millions of fans recognize him as the people's champion
00:50:47because he will face any man, anytime, anywhere, from the Jersey Shore,
00:50:54ladies and gentlemen, the master of the diamond cutter,
00:50:58D.P. Diamond Dallas Page!
00:51:05As we await the arrival of Goldberg, Big Sexy, the brain bar of a good point,
00:51:10and that is if Goldberg wins the thing,
00:51:12you're going to have a world title match on your hands come Sunday.
00:51:15Imagine that.
00:51:16How about that?
00:51:18I predict a new world champion Sunday if Goldberg wins it.
00:51:21I don't see Nash getting beat by Goldberg.
00:51:24I think Nash can beat him twice.
00:51:26You're beating a raise.
00:51:27Double is solid.
00:51:28I think you can beat him three times, four times.
00:51:32There are Kenny Goldberg, and yes, Big Sexy,
00:51:35the man of my right, the only man to ever beat Goldberg.
00:51:40And here he comes.
00:51:41And Goldberg knows that.
00:51:44That's been in the back of his mind since it happened.
00:51:46Believe me.
00:51:52Three middleweight Goldberg's a rival to the ring in this four-quarter match.
00:51:56And now the final of this four-way dance.
00:51:58He's calling this tall, 290 in one hundred pounds.
00:52:04He is the man who walks through the cold following
00:52:07like no other professional wrestling history.
00:52:11He is the man who delivers victory
00:52:14with his power spear, inverter lift, a body slam, and pin.
00:52:18He is the man who was robbed of his world title belt
00:52:22and now wants it back.
00:52:24He is the former heavyweight world champion.
00:52:28He is Goldberg.
00:52:34Did he say robbed?
00:52:36I'm sorry to say he did say that.
00:52:38Well, you know Buffer.
00:52:39He never gets it right.
00:52:40Buffer works on his own.
00:52:41You want to speed to these lines.
00:52:44Yeah, they always do.
00:52:45Hogan goes right for Flair.
00:52:51And Goldberg huts it out with Danny Payne, and they're on the outside.
00:52:55Remember what can happen here.
00:52:58Flair can lose this belt without ever getting pinned, or ever having to submit.
00:53:05That's how volatile this match is.
00:53:08Hogan is having his way with the world champ.
00:53:14Hogan's on fire.
00:53:15Well, Hogan's really been wrestling with a promise here,
00:53:20Kevin Nash, over the last couple of weeks.
00:53:22Yes, he has.
00:53:23It's a new Hollywood Hogan, as they would say.
00:53:26Determination.
00:53:27He hulks up, that fight still goes on to the floor.
00:53:32Obviously, Paige and Goldberg have made this personal.
00:53:34And meanwhile, Goldberg is nailing the steel steps.
00:53:38Goldberg and Paige, you gotta watch out, because you can't win it on the floor.
00:53:42Got two men right now can win it, Kevin.
00:53:44Asher, right, are the two in the ring.
00:53:45Could be Hogan.
00:53:46So you better be there.
00:53:46No!
00:53:49Paige cut him off, made the save.
00:53:50Barely.
00:53:52Boy, Paige heads up play that time, or Hogan would have been world champ.
00:53:55This is wild.
00:53:57This is what it's all about.
00:53:59You think this is wild?
00:54:00How about what we got for you coming up at Spring Stampede?
00:54:03There's the tip of the iceberg here, guys.
00:54:06One, two, three, two.
00:54:09Chop-O-Media.
00:54:11Hey, Brain, he's over near us.
00:54:13Whoa.
00:54:14We're gonna get right behind Big Sexy here.
00:54:16The safest place to end the game.
00:54:17I don't want none of this.
00:54:19The player gets shoved on the inside by Goldberg.
00:54:23Meanwhile, Hogan and Paige going out of brain.
00:54:30You okay?
00:54:31Sit down here, fella.
00:54:32That's what we're here to do, call a match, not run.
00:54:34It's called a retreat.
00:54:36Yes, we've done it many times.
00:54:41The Texas Tornado Rules made this one scary because it's every man for
00:54:45himself, basically, no tagging in and out.
00:54:47Usually, four corners would have your basic tags, but every man can go at it.
00:54:51The two men who are in the ring, the two men who can make a pin or
00:54:55a submission in the ring, the one man in the ring is gonna win this thing.
00:54:58My psychology on something like this is letting each other, let the guys beat each
00:55:03other up with all their big stuff, come in, take that guy out and cover the guy.
00:55:07Let them do your dirty work.
00:55:09Absolutely.
00:55:10You're right about that.
00:55:11And you gotta be loving this, knowing that Goldberg is pounding away here on
00:55:14Monday and Sunday.
00:55:15You got him in the ring.
00:55:16Well, I feel bad if something was to happen, maybe an injury or.
00:55:19Absolutely.
00:55:20Diamond Cutter, this could be it.
00:55:21Could be a new champ.
00:55:22That's his moment.
00:55:23Goldberg's on, and he yanks Paige out of the ring.
00:55:27That was close.
00:55:30Paige almost became the world champ.
00:55:32Of the four men in there, Paige the only man who's not been the world heavyweight champ.
00:55:40Blair's going to Hoover Dam.
00:55:42The hard way.
00:55:45On his shoulder that time too.
00:55:47Hogan's got the bat.
00:55:52He's gonna hit the referee with it here, Phil.
00:55:57Oh, Flair's felt that before.
00:56:02Get off the choke, Hollywood.
00:56:04Get off the choke, Hollywood.
00:56:05And Hogan, right in with a chokehold here.
00:56:07Meanwhile, Paige and Goldberg are going at it on the outside.
00:56:10Once again, you gotta focus on the men in the ring.
00:56:12Since the start of this match, there's always been two in and two on the floor.
00:56:17That's right.
00:56:18I want to see all four in there at once, and I want to see.
00:56:22Never mind.
00:56:23What do you want to tell us?
00:56:24What do you want to see?
00:56:25I'd like to see Goldberg win this.
00:56:26Oh, okay.
00:56:27Because you want to see Goldberg and Nash for the world title?
00:56:29Yes, yes.
00:56:30The world wants to see that.
00:56:31I'd like to see Goldberg win this.
00:56:32I'm sure you would.
00:56:33That makes three of us here.
00:56:35I wouldn't mind seeing that.
00:56:37A Goldberg-Kevin Nash match is a match we've won it for a long time.
00:56:42And we're gonna get it on Sunday to come to the world title.
00:56:44And now you got him.
00:56:45Four men in the ring here.
00:56:46Right, and it's Goldberg and Hogan and DDP in the nature of I.
00:56:50Still no appearance from Sting, but we know fans continue to look up in the Raptors
00:56:55as they look at the ring as well.
00:56:57Hogan runs over Goldberg.
00:56:59Hogan's gonna try to cover as Goldberg tries to get up wide.
00:57:03I'm gonna hold Goldberg down with that cover.
00:57:05Not at all.
00:57:06Just to let him know a little message to let Goldberg know he's here to win the match.
00:57:10Inside cradle, nice move, Hogan.
00:57:12And he got a one, the other way.
00:57:14Goldberg got two.
00:57:15Hogan the other way.
00:57:16A two.
00:57:17Meanwhile, Flair's gonna try a figure four on DDP.
00:57:21How about this?
00:57:22Yeah, but he leaves him vulnerable.
00:57:24He can't defend himself, see?
00:57:26Right.
00:57:27Easy pickings for Hogan and Goldberg on that.
00:57:29Big Sexy is right.
00:57:31You gotta let each other take each other out.
00:57:33You just stand back in the wings.
00:57:34That's right.
00:57:35Take the win.
00:57:36See how volatile it is, how explosive it is in the world title scene.
00:57:40In world championship wrestling, Goldberg flare up.
00:57:43Goldberg goes down.
00:57:46Cover him, come on.
00:57:48Big Sexy, you may be getting your wish right now.
00:57:51Come on, Bill, cover him.
00:57:53Goldberg.
00:57:54Well, not at all.
00:57:56Look at-
00:57:57You may be right here.
00:57:59If I was Hogan, I'd be in there protecting my investment.
00:58:03Now, Hogan's got his hands full on the right side of your screen there, fans.
00:58:07As Flair escapes Goldberg, and I mean, escapes Goldberg.
00:58:11Watch out, here he comes.
00:58:13Nothing over here to pick up there, champ.
00:58:15Imagine that, Ric Flair looks like he's been taking a shortcut with a steel chair.
00:58:21Shortcut with a steel chair.
00:58:22Only a tough survive, and meanwhile Goldberg has just picked it up a notch on Ogun.
00:58:30And the lucky.
00:58:31Meanwhile, Flair is dripped away, pushed, and nowhere to go.
00:58:36Oh, he kicked Paige away, how about that?
00:58:38I don't think so.
00:58:41I think Paige just leaped backward, holding onto the Nature Boy's feet.
00:58:46Well, I thought maybe he pushed him off, but Flair is telling Steve, which is amazing to see himself.
00:58:51There's a fight on the outside, right on the inside.
00:58:53Goldberg or Hogan could become world champ without the world champ even being the ring on this exchange here.
00:58:59What do we got here, submission O?
00:59:01Show it up.
00:59:05And Paige stepping on the face of Flair on the apron here.
00:59:08Paige should be getting in the ring right now, making sure Goldberg don't secure that win.
00:59:16Charles Robinson circles around the combatants.
00:59:21Belly to back, in the ring.
00:59:24A Donnybrook ensuing.
00:59:26Tony, we got company.
00:59:28Safety rail goes Ric Flair.
00:59:31What a fight.
00:59:36Look at Paige with so much force.
00:59:39Bad news, all four are down low.
00:59:42And Hogan goes back after Goldberg.
00:59:45The Nature Boy's in our lap here.
00:59:52We want it!
00:59:57We want it!
00:59:58We want it!
01:00:00We want it!
01:00:02We want it!
01:00:03We want it!
01:00:04We want it!
01:00:05We want it!
01:00:06See, I'm not going anywhere.
01:00:07I'll be calling the action even though my colleagues have bailed.
01:00:09I haven't bailed.
01:00:10There's nowhere to go.
01:00:11I haven't got my headset knocked off here.
01:00:12Sit down, Brandon.
01:00:13You're in the camera.
01:00:14Wait.
01:00:15There you go.
01:00:16We want it!
01:00:19We welcome to the podcast location Ric Flair.
01:00:22Not gonna stay long.
01:00:24Get the action, Flair.
01:00:25Come on.
01:00:26Watch out of the ring.
01:00:27One, two.
01:00:28And a two count.
01:00:33Meanwhile, on the inside, Goldberg and Paige, okay, we're back into it.
01:00:48He just got his head set on, vertical suplex, and Flair goes down hard.
01:00:52What did he say?
01:00:54What did he say?
01:00:55You can hear Flair yell on my back.
01:00:56He said he's back, okay.
01:00:57That's what's so great about being out of the ring, Tony.
01:00:59You're right in the trenches.
01:01:00Yeah, he is back.
01:01:01You're right in the dugout.
01:01:02He's back.
01:01:03He meant he's back, back.
01:01:04Goldberg's going for the- One, two.
01:01:06He's got one.
01:01:07Do it!
01:01:08That was the time right there, Big Sexy, because Flair was down.
01:01:12Hogan wasn't even looking to the ring.
01:01:14The save's so much an important part of a lot.
01:01:19He got robbed again.
01:01:21In the forehead, Flair is trying to get back in the ring.
01:01:27He's the only man not in the ring right now.
01:01:29Here he goes, all four men are back.
01:01:30What a great fight this has been, Tony.
01:01:31This has been a wild one.
01:01:32The new Nitro, better than ever.
01:01:35Flair goes outside again.
01:01:37Ric Flair face first on the mat in front of the ring.
01:01:43And Hogan and Goldberg are left standing, so to speak.
01:01:47Barely.
01:01:48Hogan's gonna suplex him in the ring.
01:01:52Ric Flair, repeated blows to the ring post.
01:01:59And Hogan runs over.
01:02:04Goldberg.
01:02:05And Goldberg's up to his feet, Tony.
01:02:07Nadia hurt this one.
01:02:08Wow, Hollywood.
01:02:09He did.
01:02:11Goldberg ducks, and then Goldberg gets his block clean.
01:02:16One, two.
01:02:17One, two.
01:02:18Whoa.
01:02:19That was close, gentlemen.
01:02:21Boy, Paige looks like he's really in command now.
01:02:24Well.
01:02:25Yeah, it really does.
01:02:26Yeah, forget about it.
01:02:27It's John Kevin time out there.
01:02:30One, and Hogan is there to make a save.
01:02:33Hogan always gets ready for the big one.
01:02:34He knows what's at stake here.
01:02:36He's protecting his investment, and that's investment is his career.
01:02:39Tony, Bobby, I got a question for you real quick.
01:02:41Do you see a hesitation with Goldberg since what happened in Toronto?
01:02:45Or is it just me?
01:02:46No, no.
01:02:47You may be right.
01:02:48I mean, you caught it beginning of the telecast.
01:02:51Don't hit me.
01:02:52Don't hit me.
01:02:53You don't know what it is.
01:02:55When you were up in his face earlier, he didn't seem like he wanted to smear it.
01:02:58He backed off a bit.
01:02:59I think that what happened last week has got an effect.
01:03:02Didn't slime down right there.
01:03:04Might have to take it back.
01:03:05He speared Flair.
01:03:07Flares up.
01:03:08He speared Hogan.
01:03:09Goldberg can win this thing.
01:03:11There's no one around to save Hogan.
01:03:14Two.
01:03:15Except Hogan.
01:03:17Now Nash, Big Sexy has pulled his headset off here.
01:03:20He got a little bit too emotionally involved in this spring.
01:03:23And no longer with us as a broadcast colleague, just sitting watching the match here.
01:03:28All right, let's see if Goldberg can-
01:03:33He's got Jack Cameron Hogan.
01:03:36Nash has left our set, Tony.
01:03:37Nash coming to the ring.
01:03:39And Kevin Nash is going after Goldberg.
01:03:45It's Sting!
01:03:46It's Sting!
01:03:47It's Sting!
01:03:48He's alive and he's here in Las Vegas.
01:03:52Sting has made it to Nacho.
01:03:55And he's still viewing the ball back, Tony.
01:03:58Nash went in after Goldberg.
01:04:00Sting has completely cleared everybody out except Goldberg.
01:04:06Here's the message.
01:04:09What is he gonna say?
01:04:11What is it gonna be?
01:04:16The fans in unison standing.
01:04:19What's he pointing to?
01:04:20What is he pointing to?
01:04:21I don't know.
01:04:31Rick Flair!
01:04:32Rick Flair!
01:04:33He points towards a video monitor.
01:04:37Oh, his fans, I don't know.
01:04:39They put it up in that corner there.
01:04:41What's it all about?
01:04:42Rick Flair!
