00:00Hello, everybody, and welcome to WCW Nitro on TNT.
00:05I'm Eric Bischoff, along with Bobby the Brain Heaton, Steve Mongo McMichael.
00:09And what a development here, we are live.
00:12And moments ago, apparently, Jimmy Hart paid off not only Harlem Heath,
00:18but the Giant, who was scheduled to be Sting's tag team partner,
00:23in a match that was made this Saturday night.
00:26And we are off and running here, and it's Sting against the Giant.
00:30Totally unexpected.
00:32We're gonna try to bring you the footage.
00:35I mean, it happened moments ago, we'll try to bring it to you in a few minutes.
00:38But right now, it is Sting going after the Giant, Bobby.
00:40That's it, Stinger.
00:42He's like jacking the beanstalk.
00:43He got an ax out, and he's chomping on those legs first, baby.
00:47Well, he's gonna have to keep him down.
00:48He can't match strength with this man.
00:50Nobody in this sport can match strength with this Giant.
00:52Sting, as capable as he is in that ring, is gonna have to come up with something.
00:55And punching that man won't do it.
00:57It is, Stinger's out there.
00:59He is taking rights, he's taking lefts.
01:01But it's like going after Mount Rushmore.
01:04And now, Stinger coming up the ropes.
01:06Ducking under.
01:07And just ricocheting off the massive chest of this 440 pound monster, Jimmy Hart.
01:16Envelope in hand.
01:18I'm sure it had to be a broad.
01:21He got not only Harlem Heath to bite, he got the Giant to bite.
01:26Premeditated bribery.
01:28And Stinger reeling from that elbow drop right across his chest.
01:33This monster of a human being rifles him into the guardrails.
01:37Well, that almost threw him through the guardrails.
01:39He almost went in 19 different directions, 19 different pieces.
01:42This man means business.
01:44And Jimmy Hart, I just call him a sharp businessman.
01:47How did this come about?
01:48He must be smarter than I gave him credit for.
01:51That was either a payola or a summons for the Harlem Heath.
01:55I don't know.
01:55He may be richer than we gave him credit for.
01:57Did you see the monster?
01:59The Giant picks Sting up and just launches him over the top rope.
02:06And now, the Giant.
02:09Look at the size of this man.
02:10Everybody thought they were going to come and see Sting and the Giant take on Harlem Heath.
02:13Obviously, Jimmy Hart had another idea.
02:16Sting, it's a tough business.
02:17Oh, look at this.
02:18He's got him.
02:19He's going to chokeslam him right over the top rope.
02:23Look at this.
02:23Oh, and a dropkick.
02:25Did you see that vertical leap?
02:27You know he's an athlete.
02:28He got up off the floor and got out of that chokeslam the only way you can.
02:32Hold it, Lex Luger now.
02:34Lex Luger hits the ring.
02:38And if there is any questions about Lex Luger, well.
02:44I never had any questions about him.
02:46I always knew he was Sting's partner.
02:47I just thought Sting should keep his mouth shut.
02:50That man's got two faces, baby.
02:51But he don't have any allegiance to the Giant.
02:54He's got to come in there and help Sting.
02:55Sting, remember one thing.
02:56Lex Luger.
02:58The only reason you're alive is because Lex is there.
03:02I'd like to know what the commentary was between Jimmy Hart and Luger.
03:07This one has really got me baffled.
03:10The opening moments here.
03:12And we are live on Nitro is unpredictable as ever.
03:17Well, you don't have to be a member of the LAPD to figure out this case.
03:20Jimmy Hart is involved.
03:25Here he is.
03:26Hello, everybody, and welcome once again to Cleveland, Ohio,
03:30the home of rock and roll.
03:32And the home tonight of WCW, The Rock and Roll.
03:36I'm your host, The Rock.
03:38And you're going to hear from the likes of Jimmy Hart,
03:42the veteran wrestler, and the epitome of
03:47a WCW star in the ring tonight.
03:50of Rock and Roll in the home tonight of WCW Monday Nitro Live right here on TNT.
04:00And what an opener we've got for you from Cleveland, Ohio.
04:04And I'll tell you what, guys, I don't know what to make of it.
04:08I'm Eric Fischer, I'm along with Steve McMichael, Bobby Heenan.
04:11And it was supposed to be World Tag Team Title Match,
04:15Sting and The Giant against Harlem Heat.
04:17WCW Executive Committee said, no way, Giant cannot step in for
04:21Lex Luger, but nonetheless, it was supposed to be tag team action.
04:25Apparently, Jimmy Hart stepping in just moments before the show opened up
04:30with a payoff, Heenan.
04:31Well, I'm not saying it was a payoff, it was a big envelope and
04:33it said confidential on Harlem Heat.
04:35Well, there it is right there.
04:36You can see Jimmy Hart's got the envelope.
04:38Let's see if we can hear what he says to them.
04:40Should be each drop.
04:42Maybe it's a get well soon card, who knows?
04:48I think it's a big, big sum of money to make Harlem Heat walk away from this one.
04:52There's a little check there, I wonder what it said.
04:56It worked, it worked, whatever it's saying, whatever's in that envelope.
05:01It worked for Harlem Heat and it's working for Jimmy Hart.
05:04Well, obviously, Jimmy Hart wanted Sting and The Giant to go at it, but
05:08he didn't have any control over Luger jumping in the ring, did he, Mr. Heenan?
05:11We're gonna jump all over this one ourselves.
05:13The World Heavyweight Championship up for grabs here tonight.
05:17The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, defending against Lex Luger.
05:20We've got a triangle tag team matchup, the Steiner Brothers,
05:24the Road Warriors, Public Enemy.
05:26We have got Hulk Hogan and the Bootyman teaming up to take on the Taskmaster and
05:32Arn Anderson, it's all coming your way right here Monday night show live on TNT.
05:37Don't go away, whatever you do.
05:40Man, is this gonna be hot.
05:43All right, hello, everybody, and welcome back to WCW Monday Night Show Live.
05:47A special triangle match, and it is indeed the Steiner Brothers,
05:53the Road Warriors, and the Nasty Boys.
05:57I know Public Enemy wanted to be in this match,
05:59we saw them back in the locker room, nothing happened in there.
06:03You know something?
06:05The Nasty's are in a bad situation.
06:08They don't know if the Road Warriors had mugged them, or if it's the Steiners.
06:11It's one of these two teams, and they're gonna have to figure it out in that ring.
06:14Well, it was a couple of weeks ago, Mungo, we saw it.
06:17The Nasty Boys mugged, the lights went out back in the locker room.
06:21They haven't been talking, we all presume it was the Road Warriors.
06:25It could have possibly been the Steiner Brothers.
06:28Nevertheless, all six men in the ring, and
06:30they will fight it out for themselves right here tonight, live on TNT.
06:35They should have made this ring bigger, baby, cuz these six guys can get it on.
06:40You noticed the little guy had on his animal print tonight, and
06:43that's apropos, because this is gonna be mean, hairy, and nasty.
06:46What are the rules?
06:49There are no rules.
06:50Heck, you got the Steiner Brothers in there with the Nasty Boys, and
06:53the Road Warriors.
06:54What do you think the rules are?
06:55I mean, rules are survival.
06:57Can the Steiners tag the Road Warriors?
06:59Hey, it doesn't matter, whichever man is in there and makes the pin,
07:02his team wins, it's that simple.
07:05And to add to Mr. Heenan, anybody can tag anybody.
07:10That's all I ask.
07:10I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stump you, dude.
07:12Are you talking about- Did you see that?
07:17Did you see that drop kick by Scott Steiner?
07:20Tag is made.
07:20Man, and you talk about a devastating clothesline,
07:26following it up with an elbow drop.
07:30Following it up with an elbow drop.
07:32Animal now in against Brian Nas.
07:35And we're going to find out tonight- Whoa.
07:38Who the toughest tag team in the world is,
07:40cuz you've got six of the toughest men in this sport in tag team competition,
07:45battling it out right now.
07:47And a windmill buzzsaw of a competitor right now in Jerry's tags.
07:53What kind of tag was that?
07:54Was that a tag?
07:56I mean, just look at these teams.
07:57The Steiners can wrestle.
07:59There's no doubt about that.
08:00These men are big, powerful, and can wrestle.
08:02My goodness.
08:05And how much power did it take to lift him up off the ground like that?
08:08Because Hulk is a big man.
08:11It took a lot more power to get him in a position to lift him up like that.
08:13Wearing him down.
08:15Head-on collision in the center of the ring.
08:16I want to take this opportunity to say hello to a good friend of mine,
08:20Sam Davis, Sheridan, Wyoming.
08:22Outstanding football player, I might add.
08:25He told me the other day, he wants your spot on the Chicago Bears team.
08:29Well, if he's good and there's some film on him, we'll watch it and
08:31see if he's a player.
08:33Sam's 67 years old.
08:35Not quite, not quite.
08:38Double sledgehammer off the apron.
08:41Scott Steiner now, out after.
08:45Hawking, Hawking's slow getting up.
08:46Scott Steiner very quick on the attack here.
08:48Irish rip into the rope.
08:49Sets up for a back body drop.
08:51Man, and that'll jar your memory.
08:55Look at the size of the neck on Scott Steiner.
08:58Yeah, Scotty, I've been really impressed with him.
08:59He's coming to the WCW like a house on fire.
09:02But Hulk had a remedy for that, didn't he?
09:05This one is going to be chaos.
09:08Six men, six of the most unpredictable, unorthodox,
09:13undisciplined athletes from time to time you have ever seen.
09:17And they are going at it.
09:21Did you see how agile Animal was?
09:23That's a big man that stayed on his feet after delivering a massive blow.
09:27The Legion of Doom, and you can hear the crowd and he gets his jaw jacked.
09:34Rick Steiner now, going after one, two, and a kick out.
09:38Rick Steiner goes behind, quickly, got his weight on his small to the back.
09:42Looks like he's probably got a reverse face rock.
09:44Can't get a good look at him here.
09:45And he's thundering right here.
09:47Now that's just a good old fashioned rake in the eye.
09:49It's a good cross face there, right across the Animal's mush.
09:53Hulk in there with a kick to the kidney area, it appears.
09:57Scott Steiner in there now with Animal.
09:59Irish whip coming off the ropes, powerful man.
10:02Belly to belly, up, and over, and alive, follows it up.
10:06Jerry Saggs in there, well-timed elbow drop to the back.
10:09And then follows it up with double sledges to the back of the neck.
10:11Jerry Saggs now, pulling out all stops.
10:15He just missed with that one, my friends.
10:17Well, I thought he was gonna nail him good.
10:19The Steiners can wrestle, like I said before.
10:21Rogue Warriors, they're big, tough street fighters.
10:23And all the Nashies will do is ruin your value, your property,
10:25if they move in the neighborhood.
10:27But they're tough, too.
10:30Nashie Boy's in there and, man, did you see that right hand?
10:33That took Brian Knobbs off his feet, flat on his back.
10:36But Knobbs, we've seen him go down before when we thought he would never get up.
10:39And he just keeps on ticking.
10:41Smashing forearm down goes Brian Knobbs.
10:46And you're right about these guys taking pros.
10:48We've got six guys in the ring, and they're all tagging.
10:50We might be here all night.
10:52How about next month, the Lethal Lottery?
10:54May 19th.
10:56Anybody can be teamed with anybody.
10:57Who knows what's gonna happen?
10:59Matt, coming your way exclusively on pay-per-view.
11:01Coming up later on, Hulk Hogan and the Moody Man.
11:03The take on Taskmaster and Arn Anderson.
11:06The World Heavyweight Championship up for grabs.
11:08And we have got a wild out, outside of the ring.
11:11This one is chaos.
11:12They are going wild outside of the ring.
11:15Here on Nitro Live, Rick Steiner, Scott Steiner, the Nasty Boys.
11:19And only one referee.
11:21Well, that's all you really need.
11:23You had two or three, it wouldn't make a difference.
11:24They're not gonna listen to the rules anyway.
11:26Well, now he's got, it looks like they got some help going on out here now.
11:30They're trying to get this thing under control.
11:33Well, he's not gonna get it under control because there's so much animosity there.
11:36The Nasty Boys think the Steiners are the ones that threw him down the flight of steps.
11:39Road Warriors, they want their number one position here to go for
11:42number one contenders to the tag title.
11:44Well, the Steiners, I don't know how bright they are.
11:46I don't know if they can even speak English.
11:48Steiner's now double teaming.
11:51Animal in the corner.
11:51He's in a bad situation here to Steiner.
11:54Brothers in a big boot to the left side of the jaw of Rick Steiner.
11:59He is on rubber leg street.
12:01A tag is made.
12:02The Road Warriors with a lot on the line here.
12:04And a devastating, and I mean devastating, shoulder in to Rick Steiner.
12:09And now it is all Road Warriors.
12:12You know, to show you how tough these three teams are,
12:14when's the last time you saw a hawk or animal suplex?
12:17When's the last time you saw the Steiners come flying off those ropes and
12:20hit an opponent and then go back down?
12:22When's the last time you saw the Nasty's all beaten up like they are to get into
12:25a match like this?
12:26These are probably three of the toughest tag teams you'll ever see anyplace.
12:29Who was it that mugged the Nasty Boys several weeks ago here on-
12:34I know.
12:34Who was it?
12:35Art Modell.
12:36Art Modell did it.
12:38Get out of here.
12:39That would be the fans thinking that he was Art Modell.
12:42No, I think, well, you know, the Steiners came in on those Harleys.
12:46That's who I think it was right there.
12:48I think it was too.
12:48I think it was the Steiners.
12:50Animal in there now.
12:51Rick Steiner in a lot of trouble.
12:52You saw him a few moments ago trying to drape the leg across the rope.
12:55Referee did not see it.
12:57Tag is made.
12:58In comes Scott Steiner.
12:59Animal, Scott Steiner.
13:03These are two powerful athletes, Rongo.
13:06Look at the upper bodies on those two guys.
13:08They look like two pit bulls fixing to go at it.
13:12I don't know about pit bulls.
13:13Maybe gorillas.
13:16And now Brian Nash comes in, double sledge.
13:20He's going after Scott Steiner.
13:21And I'll tell you what, this is an all-out brawl, tag team style, triangle match.
13:27All you've got to do, pin your man.
13:30Your team wins.
13:31Anybody can tag anybody.
13:32It's about as unpredictable as it can get.
13:35Strategy, throw it out the window.
13:37Cover, one, two.
13:39And that was close.
13:40Everybody's kicking everybody in the head.
13:42They don't care.
13:42They'll kick their own men in the head.
13:44This is for all the marbles.
13:46Kick to the midsection.
13:48There's no sense wearing out an opponent on this.
13:50You've just got to clubber him down, baby.
13:52Well, what's going to have to be a big hand in this?
13:55Because I don't think you can look at all the tape and film you want on these six.
13:59You're not going to learn nothing.
14:00You're just going to have to get in that ring and hope your partner does his job.
14:03And hope you don't get your ears knocked off.
14:07Cover, Jerry Sacks with a cover on Rich Steiner.
14:10One and a two, and about two and a third there.
14:13Two and a half.
14:14That was very close.
14:15Rich Steiner, really the guy in this triangle match that has taken the most abuse thus far.
14:22He's been in there the longest.
14:23He's been getting hammered on by everybody and anybody.
14:27Brian Nobbs in there now with an Irish grip.
14:29Coming up, another collision in the center of the ring.
14:31Brian Nobbs follows it up with an elbow drop.
14:33Nobbs with the cover.
14:33Referee position, one, two.
14:36I don't know why the Nasty's or the Road Warriors or the Steiners don't get their opponents
14:40in the corner and just wear them down there.
14:42Why they're fighting in the other man's corner or in the middle of the ring totally baffles me.
14:47I don't know why they don't use more teamwork, both these teams.
14:49Ooh, did you see that?
14:51Let me bring this point up, boys.
14:52Anybody can tag anybody.
14:54What if a Steiner tags another Steiner comes in the ring?
14:58And you think they'll wrestle against each other?
15:00Are they that much close?
15:01Oh, yes.
15:02Oh, of course they are.
15:03Drop kick outside of the ring sends Jerry Saggs into the guardrail.
15:08All right, we've got more action coming your way.
15:10We'll bring you this match in its entirety- He's giving up, he's giving up.
15:13Right after this.
15:14Don't go away.
15:15We'll be back. He's giving up.
15:16No, he's not giving up.
15:17He's choking him.
15:17No way. He's choking him.
15:19Not a chance.
15:19What's that?
15:25All right, we are back live here on Nitro on TNT.
15:29Six man triangle tag team action.
15:32All you've got to do is pin your man.
15:34Your team wins.
15:35You can tag anybody you want, anytime you want.
15:38The most unpredictable, explosive tag team action you will find anywhere.
15:43And six of the toughest men in the tag team business right now,
15:47going at it live here on Nitro Brain.
15:49And they haven't stopped since the bell rang.
15:50They've been on the floor.
15:51They've been into the rail.
15:53They've just been pounding on each other.
15:54And look at Hawk here.
15:55Uh-uh, not today.
15:57Saggs, he is showing a little bit of fatigue here, Mongo.
16:01And he is getting hammered by Hawk, who really turns up the heat here on Nitro.
16:07He is going after him.
16:08Now, Hawk should go over and tag the other nasty boy and let him go at it.
16:12I know they've taken too many blows to the head.
16:14They'd go after it, baby.
16:16Of course they would in a minute.
16:17They don't know any better.
16:18They just want to get in there and fight and pound on somebody.
16:20Brian Nobson isn't pretty, but it is a splash cover.
16:24And he gets a boot from Rick Steiner.
16:27And if you're wondering if Steiner's got any love for Hawk, forget about it.
16:32He just wants his man to make the pin.
16:35It's a defensive move, not an offensive move.
16:38Well, there's no love lost here between any of these teams,
16:41especially the way the competition here is at WCW.
16:44And the Steiners, I think they're the ones that did it in the nasties.
16:47Brian Nobs runs Hawk face first.
16:50Bulldog cover, kick out.
16:53And this crowd now getting into the thick of things here.
16:56Rick Steiner hammering away, right hands, belly to the back.
17:00Nobody does it better.
17:02Nobody does it better.
17:03And the earmuff man.
17:04Boy, this is something, baby.
17:06I never thought I'd see a Steiner helping the road warriors,
17:09or the road warriors helping the nasties not be pinned.
17:12Well, what they're really doing is they're helping themselves.
17:14Everybody has to help themselves.
17:15You want your man in that ring.
17:17You want your partner in that ring.
17:19You don't want anybody else in there, because they have a chance to win it,
17:21and then you're out.
17:22Jerry Saggs comes off the rope, double sledge.
17:24He is going after Scott Steiner now.
17:26Still to come, the World Heavyweight title on the line.
17:29Ric Flair defending against Alex Luger.
17:32Hulk Hogan and the booty man teaming up to take on Taskmaster and Arn Anderson.
17:38We have got all kinds of action here.
17:40We're still trying to figure out what in the heck is going on with Jimmy Hart,
17:44the giant Harlem Heat.
17:47Oh, look at, I'll tell you what.
17:49Anybody that doubts the strength of Brian Nobs
17:52only has to take a look at that scoot sled.
17:55And look at this, though.
17:56He could have set himself up for a shoot.
17:58Oh!
17:59Oh, and they both go out onto the floor.
18:02It's like the flying Walendas.
18:04Oh, Nobs went over that top post, baby.
18:07He took the long fall.
18:09Yeah, but he landed on his head.
18:10A train wreck outside of the ring.
18:14We've got action inside of the ring.
18:16And right into the corner post goes Rick Steiner.
18:21That ear pad didn't help him at all on that shot, I promise you.
18:24Up and over.
18:26Up and over.
18:27Referee did not catch it.
18:31What's this coming out here?
18:32Wait a minute.
18:33Wait a minute.
18:34What the heck?
18:37Is that a nasty up in the ring?
18:39What is-
18:40Wait a minute.
18:41One, two, three.
18:43Wait a minute.
18:45Wait a minute.
18:46That's not-
18:47That's not Nobs.
18:49He's not illegal.
18:52What is-
18:52That's an anti-Nobs.
18:56What in the world?
18:58That's public enemy, gentlemen.
19:00That's how they got that name.
19:01That is public enemy.
19:03They were just real nasty to the nasty boys on that one.
19:07Ghost of a victory by being-
19:10I'll tell you what, that's the weirdest thing I've ever seen.
19:14He looks identical like Nobs.
19:17Hey, I got news for you.
19:19I think the truth just revealed itself here.
19:22Nobs taking it right in the chin with that chair.
19:27Trying to get a hold of that apron to get up.
19:29Johnny Grunge goes in, in disguise, looking like Brian Nobs.
19:33Steiner gets the one, two, three.
19:35Nobs has been kicked under the ring.
19:38It wasn't the Road Warriors.
19:40It wasn't the Steiners that mugged the nasty boys.
19:43I do believe the truth revealed itself.
19:45And coming up, Hulk Hogan and
19:47the Booty Man to take on the Taskmaster and Arn Anderson.
19:51What a night on Nitro.
19:55Hey, coming up this weekend, WCW Saturday night,
19:57the world television title on the line.
19:59What's Jimmy Hart gonna do now?
20:01Luger against the Giant?
20:04That one's gonna be interesting.
20:05And you're going to see the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
20:09snap into some action as the Macho Man takes on Scott Norton.
20:13Ric Flair versus the Booty Man.
20:15And you gotta wonder, will Ric Flair be the World Heavyweight Champion?
20:19And we'll find out tonight here on Nitro.
20:236 o'clock Eastern this Saturday on TBS, WCW Saturday night.
20:30And we have got action coming your way.
20:33Hulk Hogan and the Booty Man to take on Taskmaster, Kevin Sullivan and
20:39AA Arn Anderson, and this one is gonna blow the roof off.
20:43And I suggest you get on the phones right now and call everybody you know and
20:46have them tune in right now.
20:48Because you're going to see Lex Luger, the man that holds two belts right now,
20:52have an opportunity to become World's Heavyweight Champion.
20:55He's already Tag Team Champion, he's Television Champion.
20:58This could be a first in wrestling.
21:00I also wanna remind you, this Saturday night on TBS,
21:03the very first drawing in the Lethal Lottery.
21:08Coming your way on pay-per-view in May,
21:1232 of the biggest, most dominant names in this sport today
21:18will be drawn randomly, who will face whom?
21:23That, the very first drawing coming up this Saturday night on TBS.
21:28But this matchup, you've got Liz outside the ring,
21:32you've got Woman outside of the ring.
21:35I mean, if you're Hulk Hogan, you're the booty man, you gotta keep your eyes on all
21:39kinds of potential outside of the ring, as well as everything that can happen to you
21:44inside.
21:45Well, I'm sure the booty man will have the booty Kimberly with him.
21:49Well, this is the one I've been waiting for, baby.
21:51Look at him, the brain trust of the horseman in the dungeon of doom.
21:54Hulk Hogan, you're doing it right, baby.
21:56You start from the top down.
21:58You take these two boys out,
22:00they'll all be running around like a flock of chickens with their heads cut off.
22:04Don't bet on that.
22:05Hulk Hogan, the booty man.
22:09A tremendous crowd on hand here in Cleveland.
22:13And the booty babe making her way up.
22:18Did you notice, did you notice Woman had white on tonight?
22:21She's the master of the mind game, baby.
22:23She might be putting a little bit on the booty babe tonight.
22:26You never know, you never know when it comes to Woman.
22:30And Elizabeth, you know she'll turn on you.
22:32And she is looking good, and we have got action.
22:37The best action each and every Monday night, right here, here on Nitro.
22:43And we'll bring you the match in its entirety when we come back right after
22:48this brief time out.
22:51Hurry up, I wanna see them get their-
22:54All right, welcome back, and we are live here on TNT.
22:57And we're getting ready to kick it off.
22:59Hulk Hogan and the booty man to take on Taskmaster and Arn Anderson.
23:04Maybe I'm gonna tell both you gentlemen something right now I think you should
23:06know, I didn't tell anybody until I picked this time to do it.
23:10Tonight will be my last night on Nitro.
23:12I'm retiring from the sport of wrestling, and I'm retiring from broadcasting.
23:17Tonight is my last night on Nitro.
23:19Thank you.
23:20May I be the first to tell you goodbye?
23:22That's fine, you're welcome.
23:23Be that as it may.
23:28Right now, it is the booty man, left jabs and a massive right hand drops.
23:33Double A Arn Anderson.
23:35A shocking news here from Bobby the Brain Heenan, but, it's been nice.
23:42This is his last night until next week.
23:45No, no, you'll see, never mind.
23:47Hogan, right hand outside of the ring.
23:49The booty man inside of the ring.
23:50Arn Anderson puts out the brakes.
23:52Taskmaster, Kevin Sullivan, atomic drop.
23:55And I'll tell you what, the booty man controlling the pace and
24:01the territory inside of the ring.
24:03I'll tell you, since the booty man went into the Dungeon of Doom as a double agent,
24:07as a spy, came out, fell in love with Kimberly, the booty babe, and
24:11teamed up again with Hulk Hogan.
24:13I've never seen the booty man look better, quicker, faster, or
24:16have more going for him than he has right now.
24:18There's that sneak, Hulk Hogan, Hulk Hogan outside of the ring.
24:21Clothesline sends Double A Arn Anderson down to the mat.
24:24Yeah, Irish Rip into the rope, double team again, and double, your pleasure, double.
24:32A lot of soul going on there between those two, if you know what I mean.
24:36It's like two of the ugliest Rockettes I've ever seen.
24:39Well, a little history here, last week the chair, the giant, Arn Anderson didn't
24:44wanna come out and be a tag team with Kevin Sullivan last week.
24:48I don't know what they did to mend their fences this week, but
24:51I don't see this match going very far if Hulk Hogan and
24:54the booty man can split these two guys and get them mad at each other.
24:58Right off the top turnbuckle, the booty man now with Kevin Sullivan in the center
25:02of the ring, a right hand from the booty hand, and did you see that knee lift?
25:08Took Kevin Sullivan, the Taskmaster, off both feet into midair.
25:13You remember what happened on Saturday night between Arn Anderson and
25:16Kevin Sullivan, they just do not get along.
25:19I mean, you're talking about the Dungeon of Doom,
25:20you're talking about Horseman, two different outfits here.
25:23Tag is made, Arn Anderson, the legal man of the ring,
25:26referee Randy Anderson with his back turn, and he to the midsection.
25:29Arn Anderson going after the arm, tries to hyperextend the elbow.
25:34Referee calling for a break, Arn Anderson telling the referee to get the heck
25:38out of here, I don't think so.
25:40You know what, maybe there's a little more substance to the booty baby than we
25:44thought, they were outside the ring, she drew Arn Anderson's attention away from
25:49Hulk Hogan, and he got a shot on him, that's great.
25:51Well, of course, she's been deprogrammed.
25:53She's been with Hogan, she's been with the booty man.
25:55They've been running tape, they've been running footage of old tape from the show,
25:59just brainwashing her, just brainwashing, he did it in a thimble.
26:05Bobby Heenan's last night here in professional wrestling and
26:09he's losing his mind, something's never changed.
26:13Hulk Hogan now going after Arn Anderson.
26:17Irish whip and Hogan comes out of the corner with an elbow.
26:21And he hits one of his own.
26:22Well, you gotta keep Hogan in the corner, you gotta keep him grounded.
26:25You gotta keep him away from the booty man.
26:29Hogan, smart move, heads up move, dropped Double A Arn Anderson across the top rope.
26:34Mongo, that's what you were talking about.
26:37That's what I'm talking about.
26:40He splits him, all right.
26:41Kevin Sullivan with an elbow drop across the chest and
26:45neck area of his tag team partner Arn Anderson.
26:48Anderson in trouble inside the ring now with Hulk Hogan.
26:51But that might not have been the shot.
26:52I don't even think Arn Anderson was awake to know that Kevin Sullivan gave him
26:56an elbow.
26:57Good point there, double Irish whip, double clothesline.
27:00I haven't seen a whole lot of offense out of Kevin Sullivan and Arn Anderson.
27:04Everything's been the booty man and Hulk Hogan this whole match.
27:07They've got to get him in the corner and get him down.
27:12Booty man in the wrong part of town now.
27:13And almost mercifully, he goes outside of the ring and
27:18he's going after Kevin Sullivan.
27:21Big right hand and we are in trouble.
27:25Booty man, smart move, goes back to the inside of the ring.
27:28He goes after Arn Anderson.
27:30I've been impressed with the booty man ever since he came into the WCW.
27:34He's been like a Tasmanian devil.
27:36Kevin Sullivan with a knee right to the spine.
27:39Right to the spine of the booty man.
27:43And now the booty man getting pummeled.
27:46Knife hand chops right to the earlobe.
27:48And a headbutt by the Taskmaster.
27:52You know, Mongo, you mentioned before,
27:54you don't understand how Kevin Sullivan and Arn Anderson could team together.
27:57Well, they have one mission in life.
27:59And that man is standing in the corner right there, and his name is Hulk Hogan.
28:02You can get anybody, you could get the Ayatollah together and
28:06Richard Nixon if you want to do to go against somebody if they want to.
28:11Look at that, look at that, look at that.
28:13With a right to the eyes, women, digging her fingernails into the eyes.
28:19He must have insulted her.
28:20I still can't get over her wearing white after messing with the booty baby.
28:24She ought to go in there and tear that dress off of her.
28:27Of course, that might be too racy, even for Cable.
28:29I agree with you on that.
28:30I think she should too.
28:31Hulk Hogan trying to get in there to help out the booty man who gets
28:35dumped right over the top rope out onto the concrete.
28:38Referee fighting off Hulk Hogan.
28:40Hogan trying to get in there.
28:41Kevin Sullivan, Arn Anderson having their way right now with the booty man.
28:46Arn Anderson, double A, sends the booty man back in.
28:50Kevin Sullivan now with another open knife hand attack,
28:52perfectly legal as long as it doesn't go to the throat.
28:55And you hit somebody at the earlobe with that and
28:57it will definitely shake up the equilibrium.
29:00And that, that's just a plain old fashioned stomp to the throat.
29:04Good look at it there.
29:06Snap his windpipe here.
29:07Well, you know what Hulk Hogan said last week.
29:12He said him and the booty man would make a great tag team.
29:15It might go after the belts herself.
29:17But they better get their act together if they're gonna do this.
29:19Because Arn Anderson and the Taskmaster are having their way.
29:22What would happen in the Lethal Auto if Kevin Sullivan's name was drawn with
29:27Hulk Hogan?
29:29Think of that team.
29:30What do you think, Kevin Sullivan would say okay, but
29:32then when the match started, stab him in the back.
29:35Like the cheap shot that he is.
29:35He'd have a plan.
29:36Believe me about that.
29:37He's gonna make the tag right now with Arn Anderson.
29:39That would be a very interesting team indeed.
29:42But right now what we have got is tag team action.
29:44Hulk Hogan wanting to get into the thick of things here.
29:48Kevin Sullivan said no, no, no, no, no, no.
29:52Boots to the midsection.
29:53Big right hand.
29:54Hulk Hogan now going after Kevin Sullivan, going after Arn Anderson.
29:58They both get run together and it's Hulk Hogan now with an Irish whip.
30:02Hulk Hogan with a boot.
30:04He plants it on the mush of Kevin Sullivan.
30:07Plants it on the mush of Arn Anderson.
30:10There's Elizabeth trying to help Arn Anderson up.
30:15Nothing happening here.
30:16Anderson is in serious trouble.
30:21Wait a minute. She's taking her shoe off now.
30:23Look at the heel on that shoe.
30:24She must be 6'8".
30:27Right to the back.
30:28Right to the back.
30:29Wait a minute.
30:30He didn't know what was going on.
30:32Now he gets something.
30:33The Booty Man stops Hogan because the Booty Man saw Kevin Sullivan had
30:38the shoe of Woman.
30:39She's- No.
30:40One, two, three.
30:41He got the Booty Man shot.
30:43Hogan didn't.
30:44Booty Man looked over to the Booty Man and said, give me a hand, give me a shoe.
30:50And wait a minute, what are they doing?
30:51They're going after the Booty Man.
30:54Uh-uh, no way, says the Booty Man.
30:57You're in trouble, sweetheart.
30:58You're in serious trouble.
31:00Miss Elizabeth and Woman are looking for you, sweetheart.
31:03You better get us some help out there.
31:04The Booty Man saves the day, and there you see the evidence.
31:08The Booty Man goes in, and look at this.
31:14Well, that's what you get when you practice to deceive, baby.
31:17What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
31:20Look at this.
31:21The Booty Man says, you're fired.
31:24And tonight, she lays one on him.
31:26And look at Hulk Hogan.
31:29Lay one on Hogan.
31:32Wow, the Booty Babe.
31:35She bent him over and kissed him.
31:36Thankful to the Booty Man.
31:39And the Booty Man is, he's dazed and staggered,
31:42but in a whole different kind of way here on Nitro.
31:46Well, I think Cinderella left her too in the ring.
31:49Here's a look.
31:52Oh, wait a minute, we gotta get back into the ring.
31:53Get back into the ring.
31:54We've got action here.
31:56We've got action here.
31:58Arn Anderson.
32:01Arn Anderson.
32:02Liz.
32:03Woman.
32:04Woman.
32:04They're all going after the Booty Man.
32:06The Booty Man went into the ring to get the shoe of Kimberly, the Booty Babe.
32:13And they just double teed him.
32:15Hogan hits the ring, and they all skate out in a hurry.
32:20Talk about four against one.
32:22You don't jump in the snake pit and not expect to get bit, baby.
32:27Wow.
32:29Brought to you by 1-800-COLLECT, a way to save on Collect Call.
32:34Just dial 1-800-COLLECT from any phone and save.
32:38And here, Hogan with that four or five pound shoe with that big heel on it,
32:42catches Kevin Sullivan right between the eyes.
32:45Kevin Sullivan has a shoe in his hand he must have found in the ring and picked up.
32:48I know he wasn't going to use it, but there's your winners, Hogan and
32:51the Booty Man, courtesy of Kimberly, the Booty Babe.
32:53Explosive indeed.
32:54Let's go now to Mean Gene Okerlund, make some sense out of this.
32:57Take it, Gino.
32:58Well, you're asking for a big, tall order there, Eric Bischoff.
33:01I've gotta say, Hulk Hogan, Booty Man, Kimberly,
33:05the Booty Babe, what a shoe tonight here on WCW Monday Nitro, Hulk.
33:09Well, you know something, brother?
33:11You might as well say it with a shoe in, man.
33:14Thank God for the Booty Babe, brother.
33:16She's on top of her game at all times, if you know what I mean.
33:20As Kevin Sullivan, as Arn Anderson, dropped to their knees, they said,
33:24please, Mr. Booty, don't beat us up.
33:26Please, Mr. Hogan, give us a break.
33:29We had them right where we wanted them, brother.
33:31But by hook or by crook, every time we come out here,
33:35those guys seem to get the last laugh, brother.
33:38All right.
33:39Mr. Hogan, you know something?
33:42I'm tired of this, what's been going on here, and you're right.
33:45They're always getting the last laugh in on us.
33:47They're always getting the last word.
33:49But I got something I've had on the back burner.
33:53And it's gonna turn the tables.
33:55It's gonna give us a little satisfaction, if you know what I mean, brother.
34:00You just gotta be my partner on next Monday Nitro.
34:05Trust me, man, just be my partner.
34:07Hold on a second, brother.
34:08I've been to strap matches, world title matches, steel cage matches,
34:11doomsday matches, and you're telling me that you've got something up your sleeve
34:16that will let us get the last laugh, brother?
34:19That's exactly right, brother.
34:21You just gotta trust me.
34:23I can't give it away out here right now.
34:26That'd be too easy, but you just trust me.
34:29Wait a minute, booty man, what in the world are you talking about?
34:31What kind of a man?
34:32I can't tell you right now, but I ain't gonna show our down card yet.
34:36But it's gonna put the shoe on the other foot.
34:39It's gonna finally give us the upper hand and give us a little satisfaction.
34:45Well, you know something, brother?
34:46If you're telling me that you're gonna figure something out where we can,
34:50let's say, kick their booty, brother, and you, me, and
34:54the booty babe, Kimberly, get the last laugh, we're throwing it out right now.
34:59Because as they were kicking your brains in, not only was Double A laughing,
35:03not only was the Taskmaster laughing, but the girls, brother,
35:07woman, and Liz was laughing too, brother.
35:11So you guys, if you wanna get the last laugh, if you think you can,
35:15come on down because the booty man's got the plan.
35:17What's it all about?
35:18We'll kick their calves.
35:20I don't know if that's an April Fool's deal or-
35:21We'll kick them on next Monday, Mee.
35:23Well, it'll have to be a week from Monday.
35:25Eric Bischoff, let's get back to you.
35:26Coming up next, you're gonna see it.
35:31The World Heavyweight Title on the line.
35:33The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, takes on Leck Luger.
35:36What kind of match are they talking about?
35:38Got me.
35:44All right, welcome back.
35:45We are live here on Nitro from Cleveland, Ohio.
35:51And coming up next, the WCW World Heavyweight Title on the line.
35:54The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, defending against Leck Luger.
35:58And in case you just joined us, the action happening fast and
36:02furious as always here on Nitro.
36:06In a match we just saw, let me try to sort it out for you.
36:09Kevin Sullivan was down.
36:12Woman passed him a shoe.
36:15Hogan going after Sullivan.
36:17The Booty Man puts the brakes on Hogan, reaches down,
36:20grabs the Booty Babe shoe.
36:22Hogan knocks out Sullivan.
36:25And the Booty Babe kind of thanking the Booty Man for saving her from Woman and Liz.
36:32She lays a big wet one on him.
36:34A lip lock.
36:35And then it breaks out.
36:37The Booty Man goes into the ring, tries to retrieve her shoe, and he gets
36:41triple teamed by Arne Anderson, Liz, and Woman.
36:45And Hogan hits the ring, and we've got chaos here, as always, live on Nitro.
36:49But now, the one thing, I wanna put a period at the end of this one.
36:54What the heck kind of match was he, to me, listening to that,
36:58it sounded to me like Hogan and the Booty Man wants to get
37:03the Booty Babe in the ring, along with Woman and Liz.
37:06I don't know, man, bump Hogan in a mixed tag team matchup, could that be it?
37:12That's never happened before.
37:13I've never heard of Hogan being involved in that kind of a match, or the Booty Man.
37:16I don't know.
37:17Maybe he wasn't reading too much into it.
37:18Well, he hasn't had an idea.
37:20You say hello to the guy, he stumps for an answer.
37:23His headband's on too tight, and he's gonna come up with an idea and
37:26feed it to Hogan, who's gonna feed it back to him.
37:29And then Kimberly's gonna jump up and down the Booty Babe.
37:31Come on, they don't have a plan, they don't have nothing.
37:34Right now, it is the World Heavyweight Champion,
37:40making his way out to the ring.
37:43Look at that.
37:45Look, wait a minute, isn't this, isn't she down there in the white?
37:51That's Debra Merida, hey, that's pretty attractive there.
37:56I'll say this about Ric Flair, you can say anything you want about him.
37:59He does have an eye for a pretty lady.
38:00Steve, you've got a beautiful wife here.
38:02He might be a low life, but at least he's got good taste.
38:06The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, noticing our broadcast partners, beautiful wife, Debra.
38:12She's the blonde haired lady sitting in the front row,
38:15not the one with the chili on her T-shirt.
38:16The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, in there with Miss Elizabeth.
38:23You're right, this might be your last night.
38:25But it isn't last night, according to the brain.
38:30That man has done it all.
38:31Broadcast history here on Nitro.
38:34I don't know, it's kind of a big surprise to all of us here.
38:38We wish you well in your future endeavors, wherever they may be.
38:42Wherever they may be.
38:43Haven't decided yet.
38:44Take some time off.
38:45But you did bring up a valid point a while ago.
38:48He's got two belts and he's going after the world championship belt now.
38:53He's trying to pull a Mike Tyson and unify every one of them.
38:56And he's held that world belt before.
38:57I mean, this Luger is no slouch.
38:59You can say what you want about this man.
39:00Egotistical, self-centered, conceited.
39:03He's got the credentials to do it.
39:05This is the total package.
39:06Holding two titles right now, and the third is just,
39:09all he has to do is beat Flair, which isn't easy.
39:11Unprecedented potential here for Alex Luger.
39:15And there you get a good look at the WCW world heavyweight title.
39:21Tremendous crowd here on hand.
39:23Alex Luger, The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, classic matchup here.
39:28And look at this guy.
39:30The Nature Boy.
39:33Intimidation?
39:35Maybe.
39:36Egotistical, without a doubt.
39:39Well, I'll tell you what, I've got a root for Luger this match.
39:42I haven't liked him lately, but he came in and helped his buddy sting out
39:45tonight.
39:46Kudos to him.
39:48Kudos.
39:49Kudos.
39:51And The Nature Boy, Ric Flair now, looking into the eyes of Alex Luger.
39:57Not quite sure how to deal with the power here of Luger,
40:00who is unquestionably one of the best conditioned athletes in any sport.
40:06And you know what Flair's been through in his life, that plane crash
40:08where he broke his back.
40:09Every time he's in the ring, you see someone pick him up in the air
40:11and slam him real hard.
40:13What's going to happen if Luger puts him across his shoulders
40:15in that stretch rack?
40:16Correct.
40:17And right now, he is pummeling Flair with shoulder tackles.
40:20And I don't think Flair knows exactly what to do with Luger.
40:22Either that, or he's suckering Luger into some false idea
40:26that he's got him where he wants him.
40:28Well, if you know Flair, you know that he's
40:31going to make that man run around the ring, gas him out a little bit.
40:34You know Flair's going to be in there till the end of this match, baby.
40:37Well, he always has been.
40:38That man's that kind of a competitor.
40:39He paces himself.
40:40He times himself.
40:41He knows what he's doing.
40:43These two laughing about it ringside.
40:45They must have got Savage whatever money he had left.
40:49The Macho Man or Andy Savage, you'll see him this Saturday night, 6.05 Eastern
40:53on WCW Saturday night.
40:55One of the biggest stars in the business today in action.
40:59Now, there's the power.
41:01One hand.
41:02Look at that.
41:02Look at that grip.
41:04Yeah, I've got to question Ric Flair's game plan on that one.
41:07To lock up fingers is one of the most powerful moves you have in the WCW.
41:11Look at that.
41:12Look at that.
41:12And he didn't set him down off that slam.
41:14He slammed him to the mat.
41:16Luger's got eyes on that third belt, believe me.
41:19This is not a good night for Miss Elizabeth and a woman.
41:24Things not necessarily going as planned.
41:28And they're not used to that.
41:30And they get a little frustrated here.
41:32Getting a little frustrated.
41:34Well, Flair should have been watching that match while ago.
41:36Sting had to get some time.
41:37You saw Sting go right after those legs.
41:39You've got to chop a powerful man down, slap him in that figure four,
41:43and make him submit.
41:46Well, there's a woman giving him some good, good womanly advice,
41:49just like Hillary does Bill probably.
41:52Don't get too close to Newton.
41:53Stay back.
41:54Make the tag.
41:55The Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
41:57Careful here.
41:59Not quick to underestimate Lex Luger.
42:02Luger now getting back into the ropes.
42:04Irish whip reversed by Lex Luger.
42:06Lex Luger, again, full throttle slam on the Nature Boy.
42:12And Lex Luger is on fire.
42:16But he's wasting a little time.
42:18The World's Championship is here at stake.
42:19Go after him.
42:20You can pose later.
42:21You can jaw with the humanoid later.
42:24Well, we have a new World Heavyweight Champion here.
42:27We will stay with you, bring you this match in its entirety.
42:31As always, you never know what's going to happen here in WCW.
42:36We will stay with the action.
42:38As much as I hate to see Lex Luger with the championship belt,
42:42I hate to see Ric Flair with it even more.
42:45Well, Luger just said he'd have all three titles,
42:47unless he wants to get his hands on a-
42:49Would that be unprecedented?
42:51I never heard of it.
42:52I don't know if they let him defend it.
42:53He'd have to probably give up one or two of them.
42:55The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, attempts an Irish whip.
42:58Lex Luger, again, utilizing his superior power and strength,
43:02puts on a brace and then goes after the Nature Boy.
43:04The Nature Boy, the dirtiest, smartest,
43:07cageous ring veteran you'll see.
43:11But he knows how to treat a lady.
43:14I think that's what the fans are applauding about right now.
43:17Now, Flair, I don't know if I had to walk around like that.
43:19I'd have slapped that figure four on him real quick.
43:21The fact that he knows how to treat a lady?
43:25The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, going after the top turnbuckle.
43:27Lex Luger going after Flair.
43:29Oh, it's like a shuttle landing.
43:33With the landing gear not down.
43:37Irish whip.
43:38The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, into the corner,
43:40and he gets dropped.
43:42And, oh, man, over the top rope.
43:44The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, in trouble.
43:47And woman, be-
43:48Look at him!
43:49He's throwing a temper tantrum.
43:51He is mad.
43:52He's beside himself.
43:53I think he realizes, Bishop, right now,
43:56there is nothing he can do with Lex Luger.
43:59Where's he going?
44:00Is he going to take a powder?
44:01No, he's not a quitter.
44:02He wouldn't retreat.
44:04He's just shaking off the cobwebs right now.
44:07He's giving Luger a little time to cool down.
44:09Woman talking some sense.
44:11And the World Heavyweight Champion,
44:13he is about to lose this match on a count-out
44:16if he is not careful.
44:17But he is making his way back to the ring now.
44:20Look at the eyes of woman.
44:21Is she hot or what?
44:22And I don't mean hot looking.
44:25I mean-
44:26I wouldn't like her to sink them claws into my eyeballs.
44:28A little upset.
44:29Look what she did Saturday.
44:30She helped Ric Flair beat Dirty Dicks later.
44:32Oh, did you see that?
44:33A thumb to the eyes by the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
44:35Lex Luger caught flat-footed, so to speak.
44:39Gets a thumb to the eyes.
44:40Reverse knife hand chop by the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
44:43Lex Luger is dazed.
44:44He is in the corner,
44:45and he's got a receiving end of another chop.
44:48He's pummeling him real well in that corner.
44:51I don't think anybody's ever brought that chop
44:53quite like that, have they?
44:55And now, Lex Luger,
44:57Lex Luger really turning it on here,
45:00and these guys are trash-talking in the ring.
45:03Lex Luger, not one to be intimidated.
45:06Here he goes.
45:07Oh!
45:08Man, he lays Flair out.
45:13Dropped him into them ropes
45:14like you're throwing your laundry over the line.
45:16Running clotheslines.
45:18Lex Luger turning it up here and turning it on
45:22and hammering, manhandling
45:24the World Heavyweight Champion, Ric Flair.
45:26This does not look good.
45:27Ric Flair didn't know where he was coming from.
45:29He hit him from the blind side,
45:30he hit him from the back, he hit him from the front.
45:31I've never seen Ric Flair in this much trouble
45:33this early in a match.
45:35And this program note,
45:37WCW preempted next week.
45:40Nitrope, you will see us in two weeks
45:42right here on TNT.
45:45And look at this, Lex Luger
45:47chasing off Woman and Miss Elizabeth.
45:52And the Nitrobearer, Ric Flair runs in with an elbow.
45:55Excuse me, a knee.
45:57Puts it right on the jaw.
45:59Right on the jaw of Lex Luger.
46:02That's just what Flair's got those women out there for.
46:05Distract the other wrestlers
46:08and then get your shot in when he turns around.
46:10Of course, that's exactly why he has them there.
46:12Plus he likes to be surrounded by lovely ladies.
46:15Nothing wrong with that.
46:18But he's got to get Luger in a compromising position
46:22where he can slap that figure four on him.
46:23Well, he's got him in one right now,
46:25a compromising position that is.
46:26I don't think a figure four is gonna do him any good
46:28with Luger under the rope.
46:29No.
46:29He is stopping the mud hole
46:30and now going after the throat,
46:32taking advantage of the count from the referee.
46:34Luger in a serious amount of trouble on the ring apron.
46:38It is almost like three against one, isn't it?
46:41What do you mean, it is almost like?
46:42Take a look at that.
46:43Well, that's one-on-one right there.
46:44I mean, he insulted her, no doubt,
46:46and probably made some derogatory remark
46:48about her gown or something.
46:50I don't know.
46:51I don't think so.
46:52On your last night,
46:53you're not making a lot of sense here, Heenan.
46:54What are you gonna do, by the way?
46:56Tell us what you're gonna do.
46:56He's going in for a lobotomy.
46:59Take some time off and relax.
47:00Cheap shot to the left knee by the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
47:04That's just what I was talking about.
47:06Get the big man down and slap it on.
47:08It looks like he's going for it right now.
47:10This is it.
47:12The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, going for the figure four.
47:16Lex Luger in serious trouble.
47:19Swear, sopping him up with a cheap shot
47:22to the back of the knee,
47:23and then locks on the figure four.
47:25Referee position, two count on Lex Luger.
47:27Oh, man.
47:29Luger caught napping.
47:30How's he gonna get out of this?
47:31There's no rope inside for him to grab a hold of.
47:33He starts slapping Luger around the face area there.
47:36Luger's just gonna come out of it.
47:37That could backfire.
47:38That could backfire.
47:39The one thing you don't want to do
47:41is get any adrenaline pumping through the veins
47:44of this mass of humanity,
47:45because Lex Luger is one powerful athlete indeed.
47:49And he reverses it.
47:51He reverses it.
47:52And now it is Flair who breaks the hold.
47:55No other choice.
47:57If Luger would have sat up and sat back, he'd have had him.
48:00Flair couldn't have made it to the ropes.
48:01He'd have been a dead duck.
48:04Outside of the ring now goes Luger.
48:08Luger's hurt.
48:09He is reeling from that figure four.
48:12A thumb to the eyes, a rake of the eyes by a woman.
48:17He's gonna have to turn it on here.
48:19He is in there with the dirtiest player in the game,
48:22Irishman.
48:24Uh-uh.
48:25Oh, yeah.
48:27He just threw a little too much salt into the wound there
48:30and woke that mad dog up.
48:33He's got his second win now.
48:34Things will look good for Mr. Flair.
48:36I predict he's gonna be a new champion of the world.
48:38You could have it.
48:39Sutton said flip over the top rope.
48:41Flair reaches.
48:43Oh, the referee breaks it up.
48:45One, two.
48:46No.
48:47Flair kicks out.
48:49He needed to lock them feet up on his shoulder.
48:52Hook those trunks.
48:53Hip toss attempt.
48:55Reverse.
48:57Backslide.
48:58Does he get it?
49:00Referee, one.
49:02He got it.
49:03No.
49:04Too much strength.
49:05Too much power in Luger.
49:06Flair realizes that now.
49:08He is backing off Lex Luger.
49:10Up and over the top turnbuckle.
49:14Not this time.
49:16Not this time.
49:17Uh-oh.
49:18Luger catches it.
49:21Right hand by the Ninja Boy.
49:23A right hand to the midsection.
49:24Flair in trouble.
49:26Flair in serious trouble.
49:28The world heavyweight champion.
49:30Oh, this is gonna be about a 10 foot drop on his back.
49:34Oh.
49:37And Flair beside himself.
49:41Flair's in pain right now.
49:42He's in agony.
49:43His back is hurting him.
49:44And he don't know what to do.
49:46Irish whip.
49:48Body slam.
49:49Luger.
49:51Oh, look at this.
49:51She's got a cup of.
49:53The steam's coming out of Melissi Coffey.
49:56Hot chocolate or something.
49:57She's got coffee or something in her hand.
50:01Luger's got him in the rack.
50:02He's gonna give it up.
50:03And Elizabeth has the referee.
50:05What is this?
50:06Oh.
50:07She threw, it looks like hot coffee
50:09right into the eyes of Luger.
50:14And Flair.
50:15Look at this.
50:15He's using the.
50:16He got him.
50:17Hot coffee.
50:18He's using.
50:19Women outside of the ring.
50:20And he's still the world heavyweight champion, Sting.
50:24And here comes Sting.
50:25Yeah, his buddy.
50:26Yeah, that's a paper cup.
50:27That's what they sell.
50:28Hot coffee in those things.
50:30Well, you can see steam coming off the cup.
50:31Here's your world champion.
50:33Oh, yeah.
50:35I think that's what they had to do.
50:36I don't know.
50:37I don't know.
50:38Winning by those tactics.
50:40Come on, Bray.
50:41What else is new?
50:42And look at him.
50:43He's still throwing.
50:45A temper tantrum.
50:47Posing.
50:49Screaming at the fans.
50:50He's a nut.
50:51He's lost his mind.
50:53The heavyweight champion of the world.
50:54Lex Luger takes him off that top turnbuckle
50:57with a giant suplex to the middle of that ring.
51:00Look at the agony in Flair's body.
51:01Woman snatches a cup of java here from someone.
51:05Starts making up the steps.
51:06You can see that stuff is boiling hot.
51:07You can see the steam coming off it.
51:08If you've got good eyes.
51:10Luger's got that torture rack.
51:13Hard to see it.
51:14Juan Valdez right in the eyes there.
51:15Mrs. Folger got him.
51:17Flair rolls him up for the one, two, three right here.
51:21That had a little adult beverage in it.
51:23You know, Irish coffee as it were.
51:24That really stings the eyes, baby.
51:26You'd know.
51:27The nature boy, Ric Flair, pulls off another one.
51:31Retains the WCW World Heavyweight title
51:35here on Nitro Live on TNT.
51:38And let's try to recap this.
51:39Right from the very top, it was supposed to be Harlem Heat
51:43taking on Sting and the Giant.
51:45Before the show even went on the air,
51:47we had nothing but chaos.
51:48Jimmy Hart comes out, apparently bribing, paying off
51:53not only the Giant, but Harlem Heat as well.
51:55Sting, the Giant going at it.
51:57I mean, I'll tell you what, it is chaos from the get go.
52:00And the booty's gonna come up with some kind of a new match.
52:02What is that about?
52:03I don't know.
52:03But I wanna tell you one thing, gentlemen.
52:05One thing.
52:07My last night tonight.
52:08What are you gonna do?
52:10I'll extend my hand here.
52:14Have a nice lunch, buddy.
52:15Oh, oh, by the way, April Fools.
52:18Ah!
52:18Ah!
52:19Oh.
52:20Geez, man, we'll see you here in two weeks.

52:33That wasn't that funny.
52:34Everybody in the whole country.
52:35We'll see you in two weeks.
52:37We'll see him in two weeks.
52:39I'm Eric Bischoff.

52:43April Fools.
52:43Thank you for joining us.
52:44APA laughing.
