00:00Welcome to WCW.
00:29Monday Nitro Live.
00:30You are looking at beautiful downtown Miami and we are coming to you with the hottest
00:31wrestling show on planet earth.
00:32Nitro coming your way tonight.
00:33And it is getting hotter by the minute in Miami.
00:34Get ready.
00:35You're going to love this one.
00:36I'm Eric Bischoff along with Steve Munger.
00:37Formerly number 76 with the Chicago Bears, Super Bowl champion, Chicago Bears, that is.
01:06The brain heated.
01:07And we have got a hot one for you, as I said.
01:08The WCW World Heavyweight title on the line tonight.
01:09As a nature boy, Ric Flair, 12 times World Heavyweight Champion, puts that title on the
01:10line against Sting.
01:11These two have had a lot of heated battles in recent weeks.
01:12We're also going to see Hulk Hogan, a man who desperately wants a shot at that world
01:13title.
01:14He's going to be taking on a member of the Dungeon of Doom.
01:15Hogan doesn't care who it is.
01:16He just wants that shot.
01:17Tag Team Action is going to see the Taskmaster and Hugh Morris take on Arn Anderson and Brian
01:41Pillman.
01:42But what about Brain, the Macho Man, Randy Savage, and Luger?
01:46Well, you know, Luger has three victories over Savage already.
01:47Savage is a wounded warrior.
01:48I don't know how he's going to fare against Lex Luger.
01:49But I want to see what Sting does against Flair.
01:50Sting wants to beat Flair more than anybody to take that title away, just from Ric Flair.
01:51Munger, how do you see it, man?
01:52I love it.
01:53Sting's finally getting his chance for that world championship.
01:54And let me tell you what, he just might take it tonight.
01:55I don't care what you think.
01:56The Dungeon of Doom going against a Voight-Hartmann, I love that backroom bickering.
01:57Let Hulk Hogan, let them clear themselves.
01:58I don't care what you think.
01:59The Dungeon of Doom going against a Voight-Hartmann, I love that backroom bickering.
02:00All right, we're getting hot.
02:01Let's get down to the ring.
02:02And I'll tell you what.
02:03We just found out about 40 minutes ago, that the Muscular Man is going to take the title
02:04away from Ric Flair.
02:05I don't care what you think.
02:06The Dungeon of Doom going against a Voight-Hartmann, I love that backroom bickering.
02:07Let Hulk Hogan, let them clear themselves.
02:08I don't care what you think.
02:09The Dungeon of Doom going against a Voight-Hartmann, I love that backroom bickering.
02:10I don't care what you think.
02:11The Dungeon of Doom going against a Voight-Hartmann, I love that backroom bickering.
02:12I don't care what you think.
02:13The Dungeon of Doom going against a Voight-Hartmann, I love that backroom bickering.
02:14I don't care what you think.
02:15The Dungeon of Doom going against a Voight-Hartmann, I love that backroom bickering.
02:16I don't care what you think.
02:17The Dungeon of Doom going against a Voight-Hartmann, I love that backroom bickering.
02:18I don't care what you think.
02:19The Dungeon of Doom going against a Voight-Hartmann, I love that backroom bickering.
02:20I don't care what you think.
02:21The Dungeon of Doom going against a Voight-Hartmann, I love that backroom bickering.
02:22I don't care what you think.
02:23The Dungeon of Doom going against a Voight-Hartmann, I love that backroom bickering.
02:24I don't care what you think.
02:25The Dungeon of Doom going against a Voight-Hartmann, I love that backroom bickering.
02:26We just found out about 40 minutes ago that the Macho Man, Randy Savage, is going to
02:27get a shot at the winner of tonight's main event.
02:28If Ric Flair wins and retains that world title, Savage gets another shot.
02:29If Flair loses, Savage gets another shot.
02:30He'll be taking on Steve.
02:31The Macho Man, Randy Savage, has got one happy son of a gun.
02:50Son of a gun.
02:51Well, if he survives this man tonight, that is.
02:54Look at him, and did you notice that little weasel
02:57the mouth of the south ain't out there with him?
02:58What's going on with that, Eden?
03:00Well, first of all, what Savage has to do is
03:02he can't concern himself with next week.
03:05He's gotta get by tonight.
03:06He's gotta get by Alex Luger.
03:08And don't worry about Jimmy Hart.
03:10Jimmy Hart is having a private meeting
03:12with Ric Flair right now.
03:13He will be going to the ring with Ric Flair.
03:15A lot is gonna happen tonight.
03:18So watch this. Oh yeah!
03:20So what you're saying is the mouth of the south
03:23has got too many irons in the fire.
03:25I love that when it happens,
03:26because usually you mess up.
03:30The Macho Man, Randy Savage!
03:38Oh, the Macho better watch his Ps and Qs tonight,
03:41or he won't make that championship match next week.
03:45Well said. I'll tell you what, Bobby.
03:46What could Lex Luger do to Savage
03:49that hasn't been done?
03:50You cannot put Savage out of this sport.
03:53I don't care who you are.
03:54The Giant can't do it.
03:57Luger can't do it.
03:58This guy is more determined than ever
04:01to get that world title back.
04:02Well, you're right about that.
04:03You're 100% right.
04:04But he's still a human being.
04:06He still is made of flesh, bones, ligaments, and blood.
04:09He still can be hurt.
04:10And he has taken a heck of a beating lately.
04:12His arm's in bad shape.
04:13His back's in bad shape.
04:15And like you said is right,
04:16it's gonna take a lot to put this man,
04:18Randy Macho Man, out of this sport.
04:20But I'll tell you, they're whittling away at him
04:21piece by piece, and it could happen tonight.
04:25Mongo, do you think there's any chance
04:26that the Macho Man is gonna look beyond Lex Luger?
04:29We talked about it a few minutes ago.
04:30He's got his work cut out for him here tonight,
04:32but he's got to be going into the ring
04:34one happy set of a gun,
04:35knowing that he is gonna get a shot next week,
04:38regardless at the World Heavyweight title.
04:39Well, if you watched last Saturday night,
04:41you saw Arn Anderson interfere with that match,
04:44hit him with those brass knuckles.
04:46They gotta keep this out of the ring
04:48and keep it fair.
04:49Uh-oh, keep it fair, keep it out.
04:50Yeah, and there he throws the chair in the ring.
04:52What, he's gotta keep out of the ring right now?
04:54Yeah!
04:55Would you say maybe Luger has his number?
04:58It seems that way to me.
05:00Well, if anybody knows anything about competition, baby,
05:03it's very hard to beat a man three times in a row,
05:07let alone four.
05:09Well, that is indeed what the Total Package
05:11Lex Luger is going to try to do here,
05:15because the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
05:17for whatever reason,
05:18give it, timing, luck of the draw,
05:21or coincidence, has not been able
05:24to really get a handle on the Total Package Lex Luger.
05:28As late as World War III,
05:29look at his arm bandage up.
05:31You know Lex Luger did that.
05:33He did that, and you're saying macho, just flexing both.
05:36Anybody that's been wrestling with an arm like that
05:38for as long as he has is superhuman.
05:41Well, that's right.
05:42I'll say that.
05:43The man thinks that way,
05:44and the man reacts like that.
05:45But he's still a human being.
05:47And Luger still has his number.
05:48Luger's taken the part three times.
05:50I'm surprised that ever happened.
05:51But if he did it three times,
05:53I don't see why he can't do it four times.
05:55The Macho Man, Randy Savage,
05:56now trying to get some action
05:57going on inside of the ring.
05:59So far, he's had his brains bounced off the metal stairs,
06:03and now he returns the favor
06:04as he takes the Total Package Lex Luger
06:07into the guardrail.
06:08And now the tide has turned.
06:09The Macho Man, Randy Savage,
06:10with a big right hand,
06:11and now it is Lex Luger
06:13who gets to eat a little bit of that metal.
06:15I love it.
06:17Well, they've been out here now
06:18for about five, six, seven minutes,
06:19and this is maybe the first or second time
06:20they've been in the ring.
06:21They've been on the floor.
06:22They've been using a ring post.
06:23The Macho Man, Randy Savage,
06:25hooks the spoon,
06:26goes up top, pulls the trigger,
06:27hooks the leg wide.
06:28He's got him.
06:29Oh, no, he doesn't.
06:31That was close.
06:32That was very close.
06:33That's it, Macho.
06:34Stay on top of him, baby.
06:35Wear him down, piece by piece.
06:37But he's only got one wing.
06:39He's only got one wing,
06:40and believe me, the bad wing isn't 100%.
06:42I don't think it's 50%.
06:44Well, I think Macho's smart enough
06:47to stay out of that torture rank,
06:47but you never know.
06:49Luger's so powerful.
06:50He's in such great condition.
06:52But then again, a guy like Savage,
06:54you're not gonna make him give up,
06:56and you're just gonna have to pin him.
06:57The Macho Man, Randy Savage,
06:59out of his grip,
06:59reversed by Savage.
07:00Savage goes in with an elbow,
07:01takes Luger off his feet.
07:03Again, a cover,
07:04and the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
07:05is on the offense.
07:07Inside of the ring,
07:08the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
07:09has things under control.
07:10Outside of the ring,
07:11so far at least,
07:12it is Lex Luger,
07:14the most comfortable,
07:15and referee, Randy Anderson,
07:17has more than his hands full here tonight.
07:20I love this action.
07:21Look at this match right off the bat.
07:23Fancy, throw your own patrol out the window.
07:25We've got more action than you can handle tonight.
07:29The Macho Man, Randy Savage,
07:30now putting the boot on the side of the neck,
07:32right across the carotid artery,
07:34takes Lex Luger down to the mat,
07:35and now it is the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
07:38going after Luger,
07:39and he is looking to inflict
07:41injury, pain, and intimidation
07:43as he drops the elbow
07:44right across the top of the chest.
07:47Well, that'll have him croaking
07:48like a bullfrog tomorrow morning.
07:51Right hand, takes Luger off his feet.
07:53Luger in trouble here in the center of the ring.
07:54Referee in position,
07:55and another two count.
07:56One, two, three.
08:00You see, Savage doesn't waste any time.
08:01He knows you gotta pin the man to beat him.
08:03You gotta make the man give up.
08:04That's the professional this man is.
08:06He keeps going straight after Luger,
08:08but eventually Luger's gonna come around,
08:10and Luger's gonna make Savage fall into his trap,
08:12and then it's all over.
08:14Macho Man, Randy Savage,
08:15and I believe it was a rake of the eyes,
08:18possibly a thumb to the eye,
08:19but we'll get a good look at it.
08:20Luger now, elbow to the back of the head.
08:24As Luger, man, he just hunts.
08:26They're pummeling each other
08:28in any means necessary
08:30to wear this wrestler down, baby.
08:32Both of them are gonna do it.
08:34And Luger now.
08:36And I'll guarantee you,
08:38Savage isn't thinking ahead for that title match.
08:39He's worried right now
08:41about getting out of that ring with his hide.
08:42Cover by Luger.
08:44Luger with a two count.
08:45The Macho Man, Randy Savage,
08:46kicks out, and fans, in case you just joined us,
08:48yes, indeed, this is Nitro.
08:50It is live as live can get.
08:52We are coming to you from Miami.
08:54Later on in the broadcast,
08:55Hulk Hogan will be here.
08:57He'll be taking on Ming of the Dungeon of Doom,
09:00and Hogan doesn't care who it is,
09:02as long as it's someone out of the Dungeon of Doom.
09:04Tonight, it is Ming with that golden spike,
09:08and Hogan had better be careful.
09:10Also, tag team action.
09:11And here comes the Macho Man.
09:13Drop that big hammer on him, baby.
09:15He's down.
09:16He launches.
09:17Oh, no.
09:17You see the height.
09:19The Macho Man, Randy Savage,
09:22went up into the lights,
09:24and nobody home.
09:25He just waited too long.
09:27He let legs recover.
09:28Uh-oh, this don't look good.
09:30Uh-oh.
09:31How much can he take?
09:32He's got him in the racket.
09:33Uh-oh.
09:35Don't let him stab your spine, Macho.
09:37Live to fight another day, brother.
09:39He's not giving up, though.
09:40He's not giving up.
09:41Oh, no.
09:42He did it.
09:43I don't think I've ever seen that.
09:45No.
09:46And Luger's not letting go of it.
09:48I don't believe it.
09:49Luger is gonna send a message to Savage's body.
09:52Luger is now number one in the match.
09:54Luger is number one in the match.
09:56I don't believe it.
09:57Does Luger have Savage's number?
09:59Four times.
10:00I'm the man.
10:01No, buddy.
10:02It's on.
10:03Don't play no shot.
10:04Look at me.
10:06Savage, and without Jimmy Hart in the corner.
10:10Luger.
10:11It's Jimmy Hart.
10:12Look at the height.
10:13Look how high Savage gets in the air.
10:15Wow.
10:16Almost leaves Miami.
10:18Misses.
10:19Nobody home.
10:19Luger, sharp.
10:21Sharp as he always is.
10:22Picks Savage's up.
10:23Slaps him in that torture rack.
10:25As much as Savage had to fight and beg
10:27and try to stay on, he couldn't do it.
10:29He had to give up.
10:30Four times for Lex Luger.
10:31That's devastating.
10:33Devastating, indeed.
10:35And we'll be back with more action
10:37coming your way here on Nitro, live on TNT.
10:41Oh, yeah.
10:44Hello, everybody, and welcome back.
10:46We are coming to you live from Miami.
10:49And coming up next, the Taskmaster,
10:52Kevin Sullivan and Hugh Morris of the Dungeon and Doof
10:55settle their score against Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman.
10:59And this thing's been heating up for a while.
11:01Tag team action coming your way here on Nitro.
11:06Kevin Sullivan.
11:08Wait a minute.
11:10Oh, I can't wait for this one.
11:11They're gonna clean up each other.
11:13Hogan's gonna walk.
11:14Wait a minute.
11:14What?
11:15Wait a second.
11:16What's with, I can't see.
11:18He's got, he's got Ocherlin.
11:21I look to,
11:24what is going on here?
11:25What is this, a parade?
11:27Wait a minute.
11:28Wait a minute.
11:29We had a tag team match scheduled here.
11:32This looks like something out of a,
11:34of a Godfather movie.
11:38Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
11:41This is all too chimmy chimmy here.
11:43There's a new United States champion,
11:45the one-man gang in there.
11:49Wait a minute.
11:50What is going on here?
11:51Arn Anderson does not look like he's ready to wrestle.
11:56Pillman, who knows?
11:58This is, all right, Gene Ocherlin.
12:00Let's see.
12:02Gene Ocherlin is here.
12:03Let's see if he can make some sense out of this.
12:05Gentlemen, at the risk of sounding negative,
12:07what in the world is going on here tonight?
12:10We're supposed to have some tag team action.
12:12Arn Anderson, you're not dressed for action.
12:15Brian Pillman, I don't even want to talk about that.
12:17And what about the, what's going on?
12:19If you're the voice of reason.
12:20I thought I told you to dress appropriately.
12:22This is a business meeting.
12:23What do we got, a four horsemen dress code here?
12:25Let me explain something to you, Gene Ocherlin.
12:28Kevin Sullivan and I have had what you call
12:31a meeting of the minds.
12:32That's a scary thought.
12:33Let me first start off by saying,
12:34Ric Flair has always been and always will be
12:36the flagship of the horsemen.
12:38He's a world heavyweight champion.
12:41We're gonna respect, honor, and protect that at all costs.
12:44That's our main focus of business,
12:47along with getting every other title there is to offer.
12:50There's been some little brush fires started.
12:53Doesn't agree with me, Ric,
12:55or our way of conducting business.
12:57If there's not a financial end to the means,
13:00we don't want to be a part of it.
13:02Do you understand what I'm saying?
13:03I don't know if I totally understand.
13:05What about this match that was scheduled
13:07to go on here tonight?
13:08I'm saying this match or anything resembling it
13:10with these guys, it's just a war that they can't win.
13:14We can't win.
13:15There's no winners and losers.
13:17There's only survivors.
13:18There is no financial gain at the end.
13:21That's why I'm telling you,
13:23we're gonna put a kibosh on this.
13:25Wait a minute.
13:26What the devil is going on here?
13:27First of all, this is directed to you.
13:31You are probably the greatest world champion of all times.
13:3912 times world heavyweight champion.
13:44A legacy that the New York Yankees,
13:48any professional sports, the Boston Celtics can't match.
13:53And I do respect you.
13:55I respect you so much that at the Clash of Champions,
14:00we'll let you borrow the big man.
14:03Big man indeed.
14:04Clash of Champions, Big Daddy.
14:05We're going to style and profile.
14:07Look how big that giant is.
14:09He makes a one man gang look small.
14:10You, I've known for a long time.
14:14And sometimes I don't think you get the do you deserve.
14:18You see, you are the guiding of that belt that he holds.
14:22You really are the enforcer.
14:24And I'm going to tell you what,
14:26I respect you and you respect me.
14:28You're right.
14:29There isn't going to be any winners.
14:31There won't be any losers.
14:32There's only survivors.
14:34What my problem is, this punk right here got no respect.
14:39And this punk got to learn respect.
14:42He ain't horseman material.
14:45Before we misconstrue respect for fear,
14:50let's don't make any mistake and confuse the two.
14:53We're not afraid of you and we do respect you.
14:57Do you hear that?
14:58We're the horsemen.
15:00We don't fear anybody.
15:01Right, Double A?
15:03Hey, my goodness.
15:06I told you to keep your mouth shut.
15:07I love the back biting.
15:10Look at Benoit.
15:10This kind of emotional outburst will stop.
15:15This is a business.
15:16We're going to run it like a business.
15:19You have my word on that.
15:21If I have your word on that,
15:24that's good enough for the dungeon.
15:27And oh, by the way,
15:29do you happen to know that Hulk Hogan is wrestling
15:33a member of the Dungeon of Doom tonight?
15:36He is hot.
15:36Thank you, gentlemen.
15:37Eric Fischhoff, let's get back to you.
15:38What the devil is happening here?
15:40Benoit, can you-
15:41Well, you saw it.
15:44This has got to be a setup.
15:45That's all I can think of.
15:47I don't, I can't,
15:49I don't know what to make out of this thing.
15:50We had a match scheduled.
15:52Did Aron Anderson just slap Brian Pillman,
15:55one of the horsemen?
15:56He just about dropped him in the center of the ring.
15:58Did you see the eyes?
15:59He knocked a couple of earrings off of him.
16:01But did you notice Benoit,
16:02he never took his eyes off Aron Anderson.
16:04He stared a hole right through him.
16:06I hear there's trouble with the horsemen right now.
16:08Well, I'll tell you one thing.
16:09You heard Kevin Solomon.
16:10He said, did you know that Hulk Hogan is in the building?
16:13Yeah, he's in a building.
16:14He's wrestling tonight in the main event.
16:16I don't think I would want to be Hulk Hogan
16:18after seeing what that ring was just loaded up with.
16:21It's gonna get good.
16:22Wait a minute, we've got a standby match.
16:24Public Enemy.
16:25Public Enemy is here.
16:27American Males, the debut of Public Enemy.
16:29Let's get down to the ring.
16:30Thank God, we'll restore some order here.
16:32And Teddy, don't do that on Heated Juice.
16:34Not again.
16:37Public Enemy, who many of you know
16:40had been scheduled to appear here on Nitro,
16:43snowed in in New York a couple of weeks ago.
16:47Couldn't get out, and we have got the debut
16:49of Public Enemy right here on Nitro.
16:54Naughty by nature.
16:55Is that what that says?
16:57If these guys are as mean as they are ugly,
16:59they're gonna be something to be reckoned with.
17:02Violent by decision.
17:04Johnny Grunge, Flyboy Rocko Rock.
17:08Oh yeah.
17:08Flyboy Rocko Rock with his back to us.
17:11They're not gonna rap, are they?
17:14I hope not.
17:14They're from South Philly.
17:15They're two boys from the hood,
17:17and if they wanna rap, they'll rap.
17:18They'll do whatever they wanna do.
17:20These are tough customers.
17:22Let me tell you how tough.
17:23We'll do that in just a moment.
17:25It sounds to me like American Males
17:28are just about ready to make their debut.
17:30Rocko Rock used to be the sparring partner
17:34for two-time cruiserweight champion,
17:37world champion, Carlos De Leon.
17:40Rocko Rock, I believe he had 22 professional wins
17:44as a boxer, trying to get a little bit more background
17:47on Rocko Rock.
17:48I would imagine the American Males
17:50are gonna try to keep that punching bag moniker on him.
17:54American Males, I'll tell you what,
17:56they've been doing extremely well
17:58since they hooked up as a tag team,
17:59a very popular team,
18:01and a team that works extremely well together.
18:03And I'll tell you what, sum it up in two words,
18:05dropkick.
18:07Three words.
18:08And their ex-tag team champion?
18:09Three words, flying dropkick.
18:11They've turned it into an art form.
18:13Four words, flying dropkick.
18:15Won't work.
18:17I had to count there.
18:21We'll find out.
18:22Just because your head's shaped like a hubcap
18:24doesn't mean you're a big wheel around here, Hoff.
18:27And we are off, we are running,
18:30and we've got American Males taking it to
18:34Public Enemy, and this is where the big boys play.
18:37Only the best.
18:39Only the best.
18:42Each and every week, WCW are bringing you
18:43the newest, most exciting,
18:47explosive athletes in our sport.
18:49That's where the big boys play.
18:52That's where the big boys play,
18:53and they just clothesline you two out in the ring.
18:55They don't care about the American Males.
18:57They don't care they were former tag team champions.
19:00They're here at WCW,
19:01and they're gonna make a name for themselves.
19:03And someone's gonna pay dearly.
19:05Yeah, this is turning into a Philly street fight here
19:08outside of the ring, and I'll tell you what,
19:10these guys, Public Enemy, from what I heard about them,
19:13they may not be pretty.
19:14They may not put on any kind of a
19:17technical wrestling lesson here for anybody,
19:19but they are gonna hurt you.
19:21They are gonna be aggressive.
19:22Oh, man!
19:25Flying Cross Body Block takes them both out.
19:27There's the drop kick we talked about
19:29just a little while ago,
19:30and you're gonna see that kind of offense
19:31out of both the American Males,
19:33Scotty Riggs and Marcus Bagwell.
19:35And I think Public Enemy is saying,
19:36hey, now I know what they mean
19:38when they say only the best in WCW.
19:41I mean, these guys really have a temper.
19:43You know, they're not allowed to go to any Phillies games.
19:45They're not allowed to go to see the Eagles play
19:47or the 76ers or the Philadelphia Flyers.
19:50They do nothing but cause trouble.
19:51They get on the ice, they get on the field.
19:53They're just two tough guys that don't care.
19:56Well, you're talking about a blessing there, Heenan.
19:58I wouldn't let him show up anywhere either.
20:00Boot to the midsection by Scotty Riggs.
20:01Scotty Riggs follows up with a perfect legal forearm
20:03right below the ear,
20:04and that will loosen you up just a little bit.
20:07Irish Whip reversed.
20:09Johnny Grunge in trouble here.
20:10He is in big trouble.
20:12Head scissors, escape, and a drop kick.
20:15Perfectly executed, well-timed,
20:16and right on the numbers
20:18as he takes Johnny Grunge off his feet.
20:21Johnny Grunge on the receiving end
20:22of an Irish Whip reversed now.
20:23And tag team action, Philly style,
20:26and he is in the wrong part of town.
20:28Scotty Riggs, that is.
20:30Well, now Public Enemy has to do what they do best.
20:31They gotta keep that man in the corner.
20:33They gotta keep him grounded.
20:34They gotta make fast tags.
20:36They gotta work on him, pound on him,
20:38get that can of spray paint out,
20:39draw some pictures on him,
20:40and just beat him within an inch.
20:43No graffiti here.
20:44Well, let me tell you, baby,
20:45the Public Enemy going against the American Males,
20:47you know the American Males are former tag team champions.
20:50This will put them over the top
20:51to win this one, baby doll.
20:53Yeah, heck of a way to make your debut.
20:55Marcus Alexander Bagwell comes in,
20:57goes to the solar plexus, works his way up top.
20:59Irish Whip on Johnny Grunge.
21:00Johnny Grunge!
21:01Back body drop, and he bounces
21:03like a basketball in the center of the ring.
21:05And in case you just joined us, wrestling fans,
21:07yes, indeed, you heard it right.
21:09Lex Luger defeating the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
21:11as Bagwell leads up the center of the ring with dropkicks.
21:14A torture rack did it for Lex Luger.
21:17Savage, despite the loss, will get a shot
21:19at the winner of the match tonight
21:21between the Nature Boy, Ric Flair,
21:22as he defends his world title against Tag.
21:25And yes, Hulk Hogan will be here,
21:27and he may feel like Custer
21:29if he's surrounded by not only the Dungeon of Doom,
21:33including the Giant, that massive mountain of a human being,
21:36but also, by virtue of an apparent truce,
21:41the Four Horseman.
21:42Am I wrong, or is the Giant just getting bigger?
21:44He's unbelievable.
21:45He is getting bigger, stronger,
21:47and more devastating every week.
21:48And we've got Johnny Grunge, Marcus Bagwell,
21:50Grunge with a handful of tights.
21:52He got him!
21:53He got him!
21:54What?
21:55Hey, what a victory!
21:57He got him!
21:59What a debut for the public enemy.
22:03What?
22:04Now, that's just ridiculous there.
22:06I don't understand it.
22:07He must have had a handful of tights.
22:09Doesn't matter what he had a handful of.
22:11He's gonna get his hand raised in the air.
22:12They won the match.
22:13Bagwell getting his brains bounced off the ring apron.
22:17His back taken out against the guardrail.
22:21Rock o' rock.
22:23Now these street guys, this is where they excel the best.
22:26No rules right now.
22:28No disqualification.
22:29The match is over.
22:30Their opponents are on the floor.
22:32Wait a minute.
22:34What's he setting up, the buffet table?
22:36Wait a minute.
22:37We're moving furniture around here.
22:38He's gonna get some Philly cheesesteaks
22:40going for the crowd, I guess.
22:42Forearm to the back of the head.
22:43We've got the music playing.
22:46We've got Marcus Bagwell getting his brains kicked out
22:50outside of the ring.
22:51All the while, Johnny Grunge is rearranging
22:54the furniture here.
22:56Wait a minute, this is-
22:57Public enemies gotta feel good about their prospects
22:59in the WCW.
23:01Double decker, double decker.
23:02Get this out of here.
23:04Get it out of here.
23:05Get us some security.
23:06They do the same thing at Denny's.
23:07Somebody call the paramedics.
23:09We might have an injury going here.
23:11Oh, you're gonna have one.
23:13Oh man, this is not going to be pretty.
23:16This will not be pretty.
23:17Marcus Bagwell is the main course.
23:19Roll off that table, kid.
23:20Oh, he can roll off the table.
23:22Right out, he's gonna roll out on the concrete floor.
23:23He's stuck up there like Christmas turkey.
23:26Watch this.
23:27Slicing down-
23:28Oh, my goodness.
23:32No.
23:36Unbelievable.
23:37Double your pleasure, double your fun.
23:40This is, this is out of control.
23:44Lock your doors and put away the animals.
23:46Public enemy is alive and loose here at WCW.
23:51Oh man, are they gonna pay for those two tables?
23:54I'll tell you what, forget about the tables.
23:56We gotta check on Bagwell.
23:57Let's take a break.
23:58He could have broke his back.
23:59Goodness.
24:05Well look, let me ask, what do I like to snap best?
24:08Arms, legs, I like a beefy, spicy, slim Jim.
24:13Snap into it, yeah.
24:15Who will be the World Heavyweight Champion tonight?
24:18We'll find out as the Nature Boy,
24:20Ric Flair defends against Sting, here live on Nitro.
24:25And here we go.
24:26I had a busy day today.
24:28I had a meeting with Wayne Huizenga.
24:29He offered me the manager, general managership
24:32so I could help Jimmy Johnson out a little bit.
24:35I said, I gotta be here on Nitro, I don't have time.
24:38The WCW World Heavyweight Title on the line.
24:42The challenger making his way to the ring at this time.
24:46You know him, one of the most popular athletes in WCW.
24:50One of the hottest athletes in our sport today, Sting.
24:55And you got that right when you say athlete, baby.
24:58I don't see too many athletes of that caliber
25:01in the world, period.
25:03I'll tell you something,
25:04Flair betrayed Sting's friendship a few months back.
25:07And Sting said, if you double cross me, it's all over.
25:10Now he's got a chance tonight, not only to beat Ric Flair,
25:13but to walk out of this building
25:14the Heavyweight Champion of the World,
25:16and he'd love to do it.
25:17And had it not been for Lex Luger in Nashville,
25:20Sting might be the World Heavyweight Champion tonight.
25:23But as it is, the Nature Boy Ric Flair
25:26captured that title 12 times.
25:28Unprecedented in any sport.
25:30Ric Flair makes his way to the ring
25:32to defend that title tonight, here, live on Nitro.
25:36Against one of the toughest challengers
25:38he's faced lately, Sting on a roll
25:40when it comes to the Nature Boy Ric Flair.
25:44And Jimmy Hart is with him.
25:46If it wasn't for Lex Luger,
25:47when Sting put that Scorpion Death Lock on him last time,
25:51he might be walking around on crutches today.
25:53So my friend right here better look out.
25:57It is gonna be hot.
25:59It is gonna be live.
26:00It is gonna be the World Heavyweight Title on the line.
26:03And it's coming your way, right here on Nitro,
26:06after this short time-out.
26:08Now we got one for you.
26:13Get him, champ.
26:17All right, coming up, live from Las Vegas,
26:21one of the hottest shows in the month of January.
26:23Absolutely free, The Clash of the Champions,
26:24live Tuesday, January 23rd.
26:26That's one week from tomorrow, 8.05 Eastern Time on TBS.
26:32The marriage made in, well, the marriage.
26:35No, them two need to get a room.
26:38No, go.
26:39Puts new meaning to the word honeymoon in Vegas.
26:41Yeah, frightening as it is.
26:43And you have now Sting circling to his right,
26:46the Nature Boy Ric Flair.
26:48The WCW World Heavyweight Championship on the line,
26:51here, live tonight, in Miami.
26:53And still to come, Hulk Hogan takes on Ming.
26:57And Hogan better have eyes in the back of his head
27:00and a whole lot of friends in town,
27:02because something tells me it's gonna all hit the fan
27:06here tonight, given the-
27:07Woo!
27:09Well, you know who's in the building,
27:10the Dungeon and Doom are here.
27:12Yeah, but there's this truce now
27:13between Dungeon and Doom and,
27:15well, three of the Four Horsemen anyway.
27:17And I think he's playing his own game here.
27:20This guy's so off the wall.
27:21I think there's gonna be some backbiting there,
27:23because the Four Horsemen wanna take out Hogan.
27:26The Dungeon and Doom wants to take out Hogan.
27:28Who's gonna get it?
27:29We're gonna find out here tonight.
27:31And of course, looming large,
27:34and I mean looming very large, is the Giant.
27:38One of the most devastating forms of life in this sport.
27:44In any sport.
27:46Is he alive, or did Kevin Sullivan
27:48bring him back from the dead?
27:51This is the match I love.
27:52Look at these two guys.
27:54We got the Scorpion Deathlock against the Figure Four, baby.
27:57Two beautiful submission holds.
28:00And they know each other.
28:01They know each other real well.
28:03Believe me, the Nature Boy Ric Flair
28:06sees Sting in his nightmares.
28:08Sting has been seeing Ric Flair in his dreams,
28:12because there's nothing more than-
28:14Sting would love to have the World Heavyweight Title.
28:17And Sting now pounding away
28:18at the WCW World Heavyweight Champion.
28:20As the crowd chimes in, eight shots to the top of the head.
28:23Hip toss, takedown, standing dropkick.
28:27And this guy is athletic skill personified.
28:32Strength, speed, coordination,
28:36all in one package.
28:39That is Stinger.
28:41And again, this reminder fans,

29:17But only one count.
29:18Where else are you gonna get two things like that
29:21back to back,
29:21and you ain't got to call somebody
29:23and say you want to see it.
29:24All you've got to do is tune in.
29:27That is three hours of non-stop action.
29:31The Nature Boy, reverse knife head chop
29:33to the top of the chest,
29:34takes the Stinger right off his feet.
29:35The challenger in a world of hurt here,
29:37as he tries to make his way to his feet.
29:40The Mouth of the South.
29:42The Maggots, as my kids call him,
29:44making his way around the ring.
29:45Now I've got the hand,
29:47I've got the hand of DeFleur.
29:48I haven't seen a chop like that
29:50since Wahoo made Daniel Tomahawk chop.
29:53And by the way, we want to thank
29:55your good friend,
29:58Iron Mike Goodguy.
29:59That's a great thing to say about our broadcast partner.
30:01He's my good friend, he mentioned me.
30:03Now he didn't bring you up at all today.
30:04He said pick up the trash tomorrow morning.
30:07Oh, Mike Ditka with us the last two weeks
30:10at WCW Saturday Night,
30:11and coming up a very special interview

30:35and of course, Jim Belushi will be here next week
30:37at WCW Saturday Night,
30:39as Stinger placing the Nature Boy Ric Flair
30:43on that top rope.
30:44Where is he going?
30:45He's fixing to throw.
30:46He's gonna take it for a ride.
30:48What's this?
30:49The big ride.
30:50Ah!
30:50Oh!
30:51Off the top turnbuckle,
30:54and you won't see that anywhere.
30:57Anything that gets up that high in the air,
30:59you ought to get some peanuts and a drink.
31:01Yeah!
31:02Ooh, and I'll tell you what,
31:04that is where the athletic skill of Sting
31:07came back and backfired on him.
31:09He went up so high,
31:10and he came down on Ric Flair's kneecaps,
31:12and we've gotta take a break.
31:13Don't leave us.
31:14We'll bring you the action right after this timeout.
31:17Shut up, Jimmy.
31:18Come on, Jimmy, do something.
31:19It's not about losing.
31:21It's all about winning.
31:23It's about the world heavyweight title.
31:26It's World Championship Wrestling's SuperBrawl.
31:30Former, present, and future champions hit the ring
31:33with one thing on their minds, winning the belt.
31:37As WCW presents SuperBrawl,
31:40Sunday, February 11th, live on pay-per-view.
31:44Call your cable operator to order now.
31:50And we are back!
31:51We are back live, coming to you from Miami,
31:53the WCW World Heavyweight Title on the line.
31:56Sting up and over as The Nature Boy, Ric Flair,
31:58attempts a side suplex.
32:00Oh, man, did you see Sting,
32:02devastating impact into that turnbuckle,
32:06and Sting is, he's, Sting's in trouble here.
32:08This whole match, Flair's been using Sting's aggressiveness
32:11against him.
32:12The mark of a true veteran indeed.
32:14Use your man's power, use your man's strength,
32:16and use the ropes if you can. Get him off the ropes.
32:18The dirtiest player in the game.
32:20He got that handled the old-fashioned way.
32:23Come on, Ric. He earned it.
32:24At his opponent's expense.
32:28Well, you can say anything you want about Ric Flair.
32:30You can knock him for being dirty.
32:32You can call him a cheap shot artist.
32:33That man is packing the gold.
32:35He's done it 12 times. Nobody else has.
32:37Speaking of packing the gold, Hulk Hogan's still the gum.
32:40Hulk Hogan, a man who was definitely greased
32:44out of the World Heavyweight Title by Jimmy Hart
32:46and his infamous claws in that contract.
32:51Well, that's Hogan's fault.
32:52If he can't handle his business, then he better do it.
32:54No, it's that magnet's fault.
32:56Oh.
32:57Come on, Stinger, baby.
32:59Get that adrenaline pumping and get up there
33:01and take that title.
33:02Who will be meeting Savage?
33:04Will it be Sting or will it be Ric Flair?
33:07Hulk Hogan, still the gum as he takes on Ming
33:10in the Dungeon of Doom, and by the looks of things,
33:12he may be taking on the entire Four Horsemen
33:15as well as the Dungeon of Doom,
33:17including that monster, the Giant.
33:19That's an inch away. Ric Flair covers Sting.
33:21Oh.
33:22Oh, my goodness.
33:23Look at the power of Sting.
33:24He just shuts the Nature Boy Ric Flair off.
33:28Ric Flair now going into the top corner.
33:30Side-pan chop sounds like a .357 going off in the corner.
33:33Irish whip all the way across the line.
33:35Flares on the corner.
33:36Takes the Nature Boy off his feet,
33:37but Sting has been expending a ton of energy here.
33:41That's the nature of a true champion.
33:43When things look bleakest, it's when you come out
33:45and hit your hardest, baby.
33:46He is fighting by instinct.
33:48He's got a lot of energy.
33:50He has, ever since he entered this great sport,
33:52he will until the day he leaves it.
33:55Sting, a man who has made his reputation by fighting hard.
34:02Sleeper.
34:03He's got the sleeper.
34:03Sting has got the sleeper of the Nature Boy.
34:06The Nature Boy Ric Flair turns inside, side suplex,
34:09and again, devastating high-impact offense
34:12countered by the Nature Boy Ric Flair.
34:14Both athletes now exhausted.
34:16They're both exhausted.
34:17The Nature Boy Ric Flair, both athletes now exhausted
34:20in the center of the ring.
34:22That's what I don't believe about these wrestlers
34:23in the WCW.
34:25They're willing to hurt themselves
34:26with those high-risk moves
34:28just to inflict a little punishment on their opponents.
34:30It's unbelievable.
34:31And talking about hurting themselves
34:33and each other and high-risk moves,
34:35in case you just joined us,
34:37you saw two tables stacked on top of each other
34:40as a public enemy rearranged the furniture
34:43and Marcus Alexander Bangle's spinal column
34:46all in one vicious shot.
34:48Earlier on, you're gonna be hearing a lot more about that.
34:50And Sting fires back, right hands.
34:52The Nature Boy Ric Flair is dazed.
34:54Will he go down?
34:55He's got it reeling.
34:57Reeling, rocking the World Heavyweight Champion
34:59in a blue funk.
35:01He is dazed.
35:02He is at, oh, but he's got enough composure
35:05to hit the brakes.
35:05He's going for the figure four.
35:07This is trouble.
35:07He's got him in the middle of the, oh, yeah.
35:10It's reversed.
35:11And a kick out.
35:11What happened?
35:12Wow, was that close.
35:15Oh, what happened?
35:16It was just a two count.
35:18I couldn't tell, but he was down there pounding
35:19on the mat and kicking out.
35:20I didn't know if he covered him and got the count or not.
35:22Irish whip.
35:23Who will be the World Heavyweight Champion here tonight?
35:27Backslide attempt by the Stinger.
35:28He's got Flair.
35:30He's got Flair.
35:31He's only got a two count.
35:34And next Monday, which one of these men
35:35will be meeting the Macho Man?
35:37The Macho Man, Randy Savage, in case you just joined us,
35:40on the receiving end of the Lex Luger Torture Rack.
35:42But he will be the winner of this contest here tonight.
35:47Who will be the World Heavyweight Champion?
35:49Will it be Sting, or will it be
35:51the dirtiest player in the game?
35:54I'm glad we didn't have the reverse camera angle on that.
35:57They wrote a song about it, Move Over Miami.
36:01Absolutely.
36:02What do you like to see?
36:03What will scare you?
36:04Look at the Stinger giving Flair
36:06a little bit of his own medicine.
36:08Oh, and dropped.
36:10I mean, tell you what.
36:11The upper body strength of Sting is so deceiving.
36:15He is so powerful.
36:17Irish whip.
36:19And a whole face full of elbows.
36:22I wonder if Sting's got enough to put Flair
36:24in that Scorpion Death Lock.
36:26I don't know anymore.
36:27Sting's hurt here.
36:28I know about Sting, but I gotta hand it to Flair.
36:31He's taking some punishment, and he's still kicking, baby.
36:34He's gonna take some more.
36:35Punching the shoulder punches.
36:36And Ric Flair.
36:38Flair by a high-risk maneuver.
36:42Threw him like hardball through that Hail Mary yesterday.
36:45That was a beautiful thing,
36:47despite the fact that it wasn't a reception.
36:49Well, I wish that guy would have held on to it
36:51because I love getting hardball, baby.
36:54Great athlete.
36:55Wimp.
36:56Great person.
36:58All quarterbacks are wimp.
37:00Why don't you make a point instead of talking
37:01about what your head shape like?
37:04And again, Sting taking it.
37:06World Heavyweight Champion to the mat.
37:09And so far, we have seen it all in this contest.
37:12And Sting now going.
37:14Look at Hart.
37:15He's beside himself.
37:17What's Luger doing up here?
37:19Luger.
37:21Luger, the guy that a lot of people think cost Sting
37:25for World Heavyweight.
37:25Oh, what?
37:27Did he hit Sting with that megaphone?
37:29He took the megaphone away from Jimmy Hart
37:31just as Sting was coming into the corner.
37:33It was a total accident.
37:34Wait a minute, I was just about to say,
37:36Lex Luger, the man who cost Sting,
37:40the World Friend.
37:41You hit him.
37:42You hit him.
37:43You hit him.
37:44Okay, he's not wearing the figure four on him.
37:46This is crazy.
37:47He's got the figure four.
37:47He's out.
37:48He didn't even have to do that.
37:50Fool me once, shame on me.
37:52Fool me twice.
37:52Oh, no.
37:53You know the rest.
37:54Oh, no.
37:55Oh, no.
37:56Oh, no.
37:57Oh, no.
37:57That, I don't believe this.
37:59This is twice Luger's cost Sting the World Championship.
38:02Yeah, I want to listen.
38:04The World Friend, my eye.
38:06And here comes, here he comes, Hulk Hogan.
38:10Makes his way to the ring.
38:11The Macho Man, Randy Savage.
38:14They're coming to the aid of Sting, who is out.
38:17He got blasted by either Jimmy Hart or Lex Luger.
38:22You take your pick.
38:23Take my word for it.
38:24Lightning does not strike twice.
38:26Well, they were fighting for the megaphone.
38:27Jimmy Hart wanted to keep yelling at him.
38:29Luger didn't want him to use it.
38:31Luger ripped it away from Jimmy Hart.
38:32Yeah, sell it to somebody who believes him.
38:34Sell it to somebody who believes him.
38:35I don't care about excuses.
38:37All I know is the facts.
38:39That's twice Luger has cost Sting, baby.
38:41That's twice.
38:42He's got to wake up and smell the manure.
38:44And these guys are supposed to team up
38:47for a shot at the World Tag Team titles?
38:49Good luck.
38:50On Nitro?
38:51Give me a break.
38:52Let's go now to Mean Gino Glenn.
38:53Take it, Gino.
38:54All right, gentlemen.
38:55I thank you very much.
38:56Sting back on his feet,
38:57but I cannot believe what just happened here.
39:00If anybody would know what Jimmy Hart
39:03and Lex Luger are capable of,
39:05these two men would.
39:06The Macho Man Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan
39:08with the big week ahead of us.
39:10How are we gonna sort all of this out?
39:12Well, you know something, brother?
39:14Hopefully now, Stinger, something happened.
39:17Maybe the sense got knocked into you, brother.
39:20A couple weeks ago, man,
39:22look at me when I'm talking to you.
39:24He held you down when you were trying to climb in the ring.
39:27You had your title shot.
39:29Luger pulled it away from you.
39:31Tonight, brother, you could've been the WCWA champion.
39:35And once again, your good friend Luger.
39:38Where's the belt, brother?
39:40I'll make it straighter than that.
39:42I told you from day one, you couldn't trust Luger.
39:46Brother, you're dying by it, man.
39:48Wake up!
39:49You understand that?
39:53All right, the Macho Man's emotions
39:55running very high state.
39:57Luger, what are you talking about?
40:00I'm telling you, Lex Luger is the reason
40:03you lost that match tonight, brother.
40:05Lex Luger knocked you out, man.
40:07Tonight, Luger?
40:08Luger knocked you out.
40:10Do you remember what happened at all, Sting?
40:12We've got it on videotape.
40:13You're saying Luger did this?
40:15Luger did it, brother.
40:16Luger did it?
40:18Well, I'm gonna go get Luger in here
40:19for the horse's mouth then.
40:21I wanna know for sure.
40:22All right, Sting is gonna confront Luger
40:24with all of this.
40:26But in the meantime, Hulk Hogan,
40:27next week is a big one in Las Vegas
40:29for World Championship Wrestling.
40:31You know something, man?
40:33This isn't the only problem we got out here, brother.
40:36You know something?
40:37The Clash of the Champions, Macho Man
40:39with a secret weapon, with a giant man,
40:43with Ric Flair, brother.
40:45We're gonna take him apart.
40:47But the thing is, man, you and I got a problem, man.
40:51Really?
40:51Yeah, oh really, you and I got a problem.
40:53It's the problem.
40:54I've been on one heck of a roll lately.
40:58And as of tonight, this is the fourth time
41:01that Lex Luger has beaten you.
41:03And I say the belt, the WCW title
41:07that has my name Hulk Hogan on it
41:10should be my title shot next week.
41:12But tonight, you pulled a fast one on everybody, brother.
41:16You had it signed on the dotted line before we got here.
41:20Listen, brother, you couldn't be more wrong.
41:22And I'm gonna give you a chance to back up right now.
41:25But don't push me against a wall
41:26because I'll come back like an explosion
41:29that you've never seen before.
41:31You know me better than anybody.
41:33We've been to hell and back 12 times, brother.
41:37My name is not Nick Bockwinkle.
41:39They gave me the title shot
41:41because I deserve the title shot.
41:42And what happened tonight against Lex Luger,
41:45yeah, I got beat, okay?
41:47But I'll tell you, it's in the cards right now
41:49for me to get another shot at the WCW world heavyweight title
41:52in Las Vegas, Monday at Nitro.
41:54And I'm gonna take that shot.
41:56All I'm saying is we're one in the same, man.
41:59We're on a roll.
42:00I got a better chance.
42:01I got the momentum, brother.
42:02Your arm looks to me like it ain't 100%.
42:06Luger beats you tonight.
42:07Now what are you gonna say should be my title shot?
42:10I'm 100%.
42:11See you in Las Vegas.
42:13See you at the class of the champions.
42:15And I'm out of here.
42:16Later.
42:17Hey, man, you can't walk away like that.
42:21You and I got a date in the class.
42:23You're my friend.
42:24All right, the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
42:27exiting the night center here in Miami.
42:29He is followed by Hulk Hogan.
42:31And coming up a week from tomorrow night
42:33at the Clash of Champions,
42:35it's gonna be Hogan and Savage against the Giant
42:37and the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
42:39Eric, Bobby Heen and Mongo,
42:40let's get back to you, gentlemen.
42:43Coming up next, Hulk Hogan takes on Ming,
42:47but what about the Dungeon of Doom?
42:48What about the Four Horsemen?
42:50And what about the Macho Man, Randy Savage?
42:55All right, coming up this weekend,
42:56WCW Saturday night, 6 o'clock Eastern.
42:59I can't wait to hear what Hulk Hogan has to say
43:01about what just happened with the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
43:04Harlem Heat, you're gonna see them in action
43:06as they take on Sting and Lex Luger.
43:10And of course, we're gonna hear a special interview
43:12with Jim Belushi.
43:15All of that coming your way
43:17on WCW Saturday night, 6 o'clock Eastern.
43:20The hottest wrestling show each and every weekend.
43:25And we have got Hulk Hogan.
43:29You gotta wonder what's going through his mind.
43:32I mean, a little departure there
43:34with the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
43:36A lot of people said, hey,
43:37these guys are as tight as tight can get.
43:41But this is a relationship that may be held together more
43:43by scotch tape than super glue, if you know what I mean.
43:46And I think that union between Arn Anderson
43:49and Kevin Sullivan had something to do
43:51with that tonight, my friend.
43:52I'll tell you what it all comes down to.
43:54It's the pressure of the WCW World Heavyweight Title.
44:00The gold that everybody, and I mean everybody
44:03in this sport wants around their waist.
44:07And I'll tell you what, that kind of pressure
44:09can destroy any relationship, either.
44:11Well, you're right about that.
44:12And they also have another agenda.
44:14They all, they all, Dungeon of Doom and the Horsemen
44:17and everybody involved, wanna get rid of Hulk Hogan.
44:19He is a marked man.
44:20And he's a very jealous man.
44:22You saw the way he got up in Savage's face.
44:24A very jealous man.
44:26I mean, Kevin Sullivan, this demented-
44:29He started this all.
44:31Maniac, piling a cameraman on the side of the ring.
44:34What is that about?
44:35Well, here he comes.
44:37And he better not make the mistake Savage did tonight.
44:40Hulk better quit worrying about what's going on
44:42and worry about this match right now.
44:45Or Mr. Ming will put that golden spike on him
44:47and this thing will be over quick.
44:49Mr. Hogan is very simple.
44:51You're getting into the ring right now
44:52with a man called Ming.
44:53But in this building here in Miami
44:55are the Dungeon of Doom.
44:57If you're smart, you'll get some rear view mirrors
44:59and watch your back.
45:02The uncrowned but undisputed king of the sport,
45:07Hulk Hogan.
45:08The man is a legacy.
45:11He is immortal and he is indeed the power.
45:14And as he holds his hand up
45:16and points to the palm of his hand
45:17and he says, this is where the power lies.
45:20You can bet one thing.
45:21He is going to need every ounce of that power
45:24to defend himself.
45:25Not only against Ming, a man who is undecidedly,
45:28undisputedly one of the most dangerous men around.
45:32But he has got to watch out for now the Dungeon of Doom.
45:36Kevin's starting already.
45:38And from the sounds of things here tonight
45:40only on the broadcast, the Four Horsemen as well.
45:44This is not voting well for Hulk Hogan.
45:46And Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage,
45:49I mean, I'll tell you what,
45:50that's a relationship that you gotta question at this point.
45:53Well, like you said,
45:55we're all talking about the championship of the world.
45:56There's so much money to be made, so much prestige.
45:59Everybody wants that top shot.
46:01Everybody wants that top slot.
46:02Savage wants it, Hogan wants it.
46:04Hogan can't stomach it that somebody else has it.
46:07Ming now going after Hulk Hogan in the corner.
46:09Hogan in a lot of trouble.
46:11Ming is so powerful, so powerful.
46:14Hey, listen to the crowd.
46:16Listen to the crowd as the people talk.
46:21They are chanting for Hogan.
46:24Well Hulkster, come out of that funk you had going
46:27with Savage, because just like I said,
46:30Ming will take it to you
46:31if you don't get your mind on this match.
46:32You've got to watch out for that spike,
46:35that golden spike that Ming uses so effectively,
46:38so dangerously to the throat of his opponents.
46:41And you're right about that, Mongo.
46:42He can't wrestle a man like Ming,
46:44who possesses that golden spike
46:46and not having the back of his head,
46:47the argument that he just got into with Savage.
46:49He's gotta erase that from his mind
46:51and worry about Kevin Sullivan, worry about Ming,
46:53worry about Jimmy Hart and the Dungeon of Doom.
46:56And I wanna take this opportunity right now
46:58to tell you fans in and around Las Vegas
47:00or from all over the United States,
47:01you know, the largest television convention in the world
47:04taking place in Las Vegas next week.
47:06WCW will be the focal point,
47:09as Ming is now the focal point in this contest
47:13because he is working over Hulk Hogan.
47:16And yes, WCW, the undisputed leader
47:21in professional wrestling.
47:22We've trounced our competition
47:25and television programmers, general managers
47:28from all over the country will get a chance
47:31to watch Nitro and the Cluster Champions
47:34at Caesar's Palace, live in Las Vegas next week.
47:37It's Hulk Hogan now, fighting back,
47:39going to work on the midsection of Ming.
47:41Docks under, Hogan gets dropped
47:44in the center of the ring.
47:45Ming is so powerful, Mongo.
47:47Well, Ming's gonna have his way
47:49with Hogan right here, I guess.
47:51But don't underestimate the power of Hulk Hogan
47:54and the Hulkamaniacs, my friends.
47:56How many times have you seen this man come back
47:59from sheer defeat to win a match?
48:01You're right about that.
48:02The man is running on dumb luck.
48:04He's been the luckiest competitor in this sport
48:06for the last 15 years, and he's done it.
48:09He really has done it.
48:10But his day will eventually come to an end.
48:12You've been saying that for how many years, Heenan?
48:14For 15 years I've been saying it.
48:15It's a good thing that you're not a football prognosticator
48:18or betting your income on horses
48:20because you'd be in big trouble.
48:21But the law of averages will be on my side eventually.
48:24Eventually.
48:25It only takes so much.
48:26Yeah, eventually we'll be walking through the bars too.
48:29And Ming goes face first into the mat.
48:34Eventually, Ming's face will put a hole in that mat
48:37if he keeps that maneuver up.
48:40Big boot to the midsection, into the solar plexus,
48:42a rake of the eyes by Hulk Hogan.
48:43Hulk Hogan now fires a palm right between the eyes of Ming.
48:47He is taking Ming into the corner.
48:49And Ming now, he is going backwards.
48:51He is backing up as Hulk Hogan uncorks the offense.
48:55Hulk Hogan digs so deep and done
48:57what no man has done in this sport
49:00before or probably ever will.
49:03As he is dominating the action,
49:05once again, like it's drilled.
49:06What was it?
49:07He has something in his hand.
49:10The spike.
49:13And Hogan.
49:14That's right, he's got that thumb taped up.
49:16They should have checked that thing before he came out.
49:19He has the spike on.
49:20Sullivan gave it to him.
49:22He got spiked.
49:23But Hogan, able to dig down.
49:26And he is coming back.
49:27He is gonna give a lesson to Ming.
49:30Fires once, twice.
49:34Go ahead, Hogan, that's it.
49:35And Kevin Sullivan booted, baby.
49:36Take him out.
49:37There's Randy.
49:38Now Randy gets booted.
49:40And Hogan is taking the spike away from Kevin Sullivan.
49:44What a savage.
49:45Oh, not here.
49:46Savage.
49:47There you go, baby.
49:4810 for 10.
49:49Oh, come on.
49:50What did Hogan say?
49:51Monkey say, monkey do, baby.
49:53You're gonna use it on him.
49:54He's gonna use it on you.
49:55Hey, we had some doubts about Randy Savage,
49:57but he came out there when Hogan needed him.
50:00He was there.
50:03And maybe it hasn't all fallen apart yet.
50:05Hogan better acknowledge that.
50:06Macho came to his aid, baby.
50:08And they need that.
50:11I don't understand that.
50:12Hogan taking the spike away and using it.
50:15I don't appreciate your own game.
50:19You heard him.
50:21You heard him.
50:23We try to collect our thoughts here.
50:26In fact, let's do collect our thoughts.
50:28Thank you to 1-800-CALL-COLLECT.
50:30Take it, Eden.
50:32Hogan here shoots Ming and hits him
50:34with that big boot right in the mush.
50:39Kevin Sullivan jumps up on the apron.
50:42He's gonna hand that golden spike to Ming.
50:43Savage comes to the dressing room,
50:45pulls the Taskmaster to the floor.
50:47There's your man.
50:48There's Hogan.
50:49Slaps on that thumb right to the throat.
50:52It's over.
50:53Brought to you by 1-800-COLLECT.
50:55The way to save on collect calls.
50:57Just dial 1-800-C-O-L-L-E-C-T
51:03as Hogan collects a victory here tonight on Nitro.
51:06You can make that call from any phone
51:09and to any phone and save.
51:11This is phone control.
51:14I love it.
51:15He stuck him in the throat with that thing
51:17and then sheathed it in his pants.
51:20Hey, hey, and I'll tell you what.
51:22Despite the fact that it looked like things
51:24were breaking down between Hulk Hogan
51:27and the macho man Randy Savage.
51:28He was just taking a nap.
51:29They shook hands, man.
51:30I think they settled it.
51:32Well, Hulk Hogan better take heed to that
51:34because he's gonna need all the help he can get
51:37with the Four Horsemen and the Dungeon of Doom collaborating.
51:40Boy, you look through these
51:41and you see Hogan and Savage fight.
51:43You see them arguing.
51:44Next minute, you see them helping each other.
51:46Next minute, you see them walking away together.
51:48You don't see them talking together.
51:49What is going on here?
