01:20champion,
01:31the undisputed champion,
01:39of this hillbilly town as heavyweight champion of the world.
01:42He better do his homework, because if he don't,
01:44he's gonna spend another night at Heartbreak Hotel.
01:47How about it, Mongo?
01:48Speaking of Heartbreak Hotel, look at the little guy.
01:51He's in Nashville.
01:52He's trying to get discovered, ladies and gentlemen.
01:54But let me tell you one thing,
01:55somebody should have give him some bug spray.
01:56Did you see him swatting that net?
01:58I don't know what's going on out there.
01:59He's probably eating raw meat.
02:01I've gotta hand it to Lex Luger.
02:02I've got to hand it to the man.
02:04He showed up by God, and he is gonna wrestle tonight.
02:07Well, we will find out the WCW World Heavyweight Title on the line.
02:10Chris Benoit is here.
02:12We're gonna see Dave Taylor facing Chris Benoit.
02:14But right now, let's get down to the ring.
02:16The Steiner Brothers kicking it off with Public Enemy.
02:19Tag team action coming your way live here on Nitro.
02:28Tremendous crowd on hand.
02:31And let me tell you what, folks, we're gonna heat it up right off the bat.
02:35If you've never seen the Steiner Brothers wrestle, let alone Public Enemy,
02:40you're in for a treat.
02:41These guys fly around, they're trying to kill each other.
02:44I'll tell you something, Public Enemy better take into consideration.
02:48The Steiner Brothers will fight.
02:50They will fight you street wide, and they also will wrestle you on that mat.
02:54You better do your homework when you're wrestling the Steiner,
02:56cuz they come to win.
02:57Will the Public Enemy get Steinerized?
03:02We'll find out here tonight.
03:03We have got a wild crowd on hand for
03:08the Nitro Party live here in Nashville.
03:14Are you sure it's the Nitro Party?
03:15Everybody outside the door standing out here looks like Jed Clampett.
03:19Let me tell you about somebody else who's standing outside of the doors.
03:23The Macho Man, Randy Savage, barred from inside of the building.
03:28If you've been with us the last couple of weeks,
03:30you know that the Macho Man has lost his mind.
03:34He assaulted a referee, fined $50,000 by WCW twice,
03:40I'd like to point out, as much as Dennis Rodman was fined.
03:46This guy has lost his marbles.
03:48He is barred from inside the building.
03:50And from what I understand, he's wearing out the pavement outside, pacing.
03:55Let me tell you what, my friend, Mongo is real happy he's here.
03:59Yeah, I bet you are.
04:01This is interesting because you're seeing the Steiners right now as a tag team.
04:05But at the Lethal Lottery, you're gonna see them against each other, probably for
04:09the first time.
04:10And Public Enemy, they stand the best chance of winning this one,
04:12cuz they're still together as a team.
04:14Absolutely.
04:15And Bobby, you pointed out, look at the strength, Scott Steiner.
04:19And you pointed out, probably for the first time since they were kids,
04:22growing up, are they going to be facing each other?
04:25They're facing each other in WCW.
04:30Look at the upper body strength on that man.
04:32Scotty Steiner is inhuman.
04:35But you gotta hand it to Public Enemy, baby.
04:37Every time we've seen them, they're like a Timex.
04:40They take a licking and they keep on ticking.
04:42You gotta beat them down.
04:44Rick Steiner coming in, double clothesline.
04:46And here you see a very cohesive unit in the Steiner Brothers.
04:49But what will happen when they're across the ring from each other on opposite team?
04:54What will happen when the competitive fires start boiling within them?
04:59What is going to happen to the Steiner Brothers when the first time in their
05:02history they're facing each other in professional wrestling?
05:04Well, have you watched them being interviewed lately?
05:06They're at each other's throat.
05:07They're up in each other's face.
05:08They're getting towards each other.
05:10They're gonna fight.
05:11They fought all their lives.
05:12They probably fought their mom, their aunt, their dad, the dog, the bird,
05:15the cat, whatever they got their hands on.
05:17They're not the brightest family going today, the Steiners.
05:20They're gonna fight each other.
05:21A lot of people wondering about which of the teams in Slammory
05:25are going to be favored.
05:26Of course, 32 men, 16 teams brought together by random drawing.
05:31And you've got a lot of men that wish they were not even in the same arena with
05:35each other, including, look at that, tremendous, tremendous strength.
05:41Two, and a double sledge to the back.
05:43A lot of men wish they weren't on the same teams, and
05:45especially the Nature Boy, Ric Flair, the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
05:49Ric Flair is driving the Macho Man absolutely berserk.
05:53Body to body, up and over.
05:57Well, and the Grunge just got grounded.
05:59I mean, you got Wall Street on one team.
06:01He teamed with Hatsaw Jim Duggan.
06:03He doesn't like Duggan.
06:04Duggan don't like him.
06:05So many things are gonna happen.
06:07Friends are gonna be made here.
06:08Friends are gonna be lost.
06:09Enemies are gonna- Well, look at this.
06:11Chris Penoir, the Taskmaster.
06:13These guys have been at each other's throats the last couple of weeks,
06:16arguing the demise of the Four Horsemen, according to Chris Penoir.
06:21That goes way back, baby.
06:22He blames it on the Taskmaster, Brian Pillman.
06:24Yeah, when the Pillman deal was happening, Arn Anderson and
06:27the Taskmaster weren't at odds.
06:30They had their heads together, baby.
06:30Chris Penoir doesn't see it that way.
06:32And Penoir didn't like that one bit.
06:34Look at this.
06:35I mean, you look on paper where it says Savage and Flair together.
06:38That's a great looking tag team, unbeatable.
06:40But they're not gonna be able to work as a tag team together.
06:43They hate each other.
06:44There's so much animosity there with Elizabeth and Savage's money and
06:47his credit cards and everything.
06:49They're not gonna work as a team.
06:50Public enemy will, however.
06:51And I'll tell you, another team that will is Fire and Ice.
06:54They've been looking incredibly powerful here in WCW since they've come together.
06:58It's a slamboree looking to be a very interesting event, to say the very least.
07:03You wonder if this event is going to disintegrate some previously well
07:07established relationships or create some new ones.
07:10And who's gonna come on top?
07:11Who is going to be Lord of the Ring when it's all over?
07:15Who's gonna get a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight title?
07:18We'll find out.
07:19Delete the lottery, battle ball.
07:21And that champion could be Lex Luger.
07:23And later on, we're gonna find out if the world champion will be Lex Luger as he is
07:27facing the giant.
07:28But I gotta tell you, Mongo, no doubt, Lex Luger's got his work cut out for him.
07:33Well, all I got to tell him is stay away from that monster's hand.
07:37Cuz if he gets your neck in it, baby,
07:39there ain't nobody in this that WCW got up from that.
07:42And you know, also tonight, a lawyer's best friend is here tonight.
07:46Who's that?
07:46Ric Flair.
07:47Absolutely.
07:48He's got more divorces.
07:49You're right.
07:50He's got more men out there biting their nails, wondering where their lives are.
07:54And Scottie Steiner gets his head bounced off the mat.
08:00And Rock O'Rock using his head.
08:02And now this Steiner's in a little bit of trouble here.
08:06Don't waste any time with the Steiners.
08:07Don't call in the one with the earmuffs.
08:10You got one on his knees right there, you better keep down.
08:12And what about Ric Flair, Mongo?
08:13We understand that you had a little run in with him in a locker room last week.
08:18Well, let me tell you what, my friend.
08:20If he thinks I'm gonna sit back, I can't talk about it right now.
08:26Let's watch the match.
08:27I just have to tell you that something's in the works, baby.
08:31We'll talk more about that in the meantime.
08:34Scottie Steiner taking a couple elbows.
08:37And now, you've got some double teaming going on.
08:42They got him here, one, two, three, no, no, no, no, no.
08:47Rock O'Rock, have a man drop on you from ten feet and kick out of it.
08:52Got a little bit of centrifugal force going there as well.
08:55He's not only dropping from ten feet in the air.
08:57He's got some momentum created by centrifugal force behind him as well.
09:01And it's just a plain old fashioned right hand there.
09:04Double Irish Rip into the ropes.
09:05Scottie Steiner coming off, and he's getting stopped, dead in his tracks.
09:09Double elbow, Steiner in trouble here.
09:11And you wonder if the emotional wear and tear of Slamboree,
09:15the Lethal Lottery, taking its toll here on the team of the Steiner Brothers.
09:18Because right now, the momentum definitely, man, Rock O'Rock went for a ride.
09:25And he ended up right on the small of his back.
09:27Rocco's gotta make that tag.
09:30He was taking his sweet time climbing up on that top turnbuckle, and it cost him.
09:34Hey, this special announcement, make a note.
09:37Beginning May 27th, WCW, Monday Night Raw Live coming your way each and
09:42every week, 8 o'clock for two hours.
09:46You got it right, from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock Eastern.
09:49We're coming at you each and every week live right here on TNT.
09:53And I'll tell you what,
09:54Rick Steiner is going belly to belly with anything drawing a breath right now.
10:01I'm not sure Rocco even knows where he's at right now.
10:03Rocco's out on his feet right now is what right now, and he's holding on.
10:06He played possum just long enough for Johnny Grunge to get there.
10:10Double team into the edge of the ring.
10:14Well, that just goes to show you the kind of talent.
10:17Look at this, look at this.
10:18He could have broke that man's neck.
10:22He could have broke his own neck.
10:24He might have.
10:25He's down there on the floor, and he's writhing in pain.
10:28He's in a lot of trouble now.
10:30He's in there with one barrel.
10:33And he gets Frankenstein.
10:37You gotta love it, and this crowd certainly does.
10:41I do wanna take another look at that.
10:44And this is why the greatest tag team action anywhere on the planet is right
10:48here in WCW.
10:50And you're looking at two of the greatest feats right there.
10:53And I'll tell you what, he didn't get Steinerized.
10:59He got Frankensteiner.
11:01And the public enemy coming off that top rope.
11:03But no Steiner when he lands.
11:06Scott Steiner shoots him in.
11:08No Boris Karloff.
11:10This is the Frankensteiner done by Scott Steiner.
11:15That replay brought to you by Pep Boys, America's Automotive Supercenter.
11:21Man, that was pretty.
11:26You gotta love it.
11:27WCW at Nitro, and coming up next, Chris Benoit, Squire, Dave Taylor.
11:33We are live, we are coming at you on TNT right after this.
11:37Dave, face.
11:38All right, welcome back.
11:44And we are coming to you live from Nashville, Tennessee.
11:48Tremendous crowd on hand.
11:50They are on their feet as we prepare to take a look at Chris Benoit as he faces
11:56Squire, Dave Taylor, who will be teaming up with Lord Steven Regal.
12:01The luck of the draw working for Regal and Taylor as the Belfast Bruiser
12:07got shipped out, shipped back to see his physician.
12:12He is all busted up as a result of a match that took place here on the parking lot
12:18a couple of weeks ago, and Taylor, the man, to answer the call.
12:22And by the way, guys, you were watching WCW Saturday Night and Sunday.
12:27I mean, you saw Diamond Dallas Page.
12:32What's up with that?
12:33The benefactor?
12:35I mean, this guy's like a canker sore that keeps coming back.
12:38Every time you think it's gone, it comes back.
12:41This time, he's got somebody with money behind him.
12:43Who is it, Eden?
12:44I don't know, but somebody must know something about Diamond Dallas.
12:48There must be something there that keeps driving this benefactor
12:51to keep bailing this guy out.
12:53I don't know.
12:53I don't have an answer to it.
12:55I've got an answer.
12:56Go get some penicillin for that rash.
12:59Well, they found a loophole.
13:02He got himself an attorney, a limousine, a whole new outfit, and he is back.
13:06We'll be talking more about that.
13:08We'll be talking more about Chris Benoit, the Taskmaster.
13:10Slammory and all the action coming up right after this time out.
13:19All right, welcome back.
13:21We are live, and we are into the thick of things here.
13:23Chris Benoit, the Canadian Crippler, a man who is afraid of no one, and
13:28a man who can take anybody out at any time.
13:31This guy is triple tough.
13:33Just ask Arn Anderson, just ask the Taskmaster.
13:36They've been in the ring with him.
13:37They know what he's all about, and he is one intimidating individual.
13:42He's fast, he's crisp, he's clean, and he knows a lot of ways to hurt you.
13:48He didn't get that name, the Crippler, the easy way.
13:51No, he didn't.
13:51I'll tell you something I admire about this man.
13:54They selected him to be a horseman because of his ability in that ring.
13:57But lately, he feels that maybe Arn Anderson's getting a little soft.
14:01He has no feeling at all for Kevin Sullivan, the Taskmaster.
14:04Matter of fact- I disagree with you.
14:05He's got a feeling for him.
14:06It's just not a good one.
14:07No, it's not a good one.
14:07You're right, it's down deep.
14:09But you see him, when he talked to Kevin Sullivan, when he talked to Arn Anderson,
14:12he got up in their face, and they both took a step backwards.
14:15They both took a step backwards because of this man, Chris Benoit,
14:19got up in their face and told them exactly how it was.
14:22He is not a man to be pushing around.
14:23He is arrogant indeed, Mongo.
14:25Well, let me tell you what, they better get over that quick,
14:28cuz didn't Benoit and Kevin Sullivan tag team partners?
14:32I don't think they really care.
14:33No.
14:34I really don't think they care.
14:35European uppercut there by Dave Taylor.
14:37And is it just my imagination, or
14:39did when Benoit step up in Arn Anderson's face, he kinda stepped back a little,
14:43didn't he? He didn't kinda step back.
14:45He very definitely stepped back.
14:48And Anderson, no doubt about it, one of the toughest guys in WCW.
14:51Good old-fashioned boot to the face.
14:53And that's what happens when you telegraph a move.
14:56Hey, I wanna say hello to Hulk Hogan, who is, I'm sure,
14:59watching his good buddy Shaquille O'Neal tonight.
15:03Orlando Magic, Atlanta Hawks in game four.
15:06I'll tell you what, it's do or die for the Atlanta Hawks.
15:13Tonight, following WCW Nitro on TNT.
15:16I understand the Belfast Bruiser had to go to the hospital.
15:22He still had glass in his eye.
15:24He refused to go.
15:25I guess he went up the other day to the offices of WCW,
15:28caused a big commotion, turned over desks and tables and everything.
15:32They are making sure he goes to the doctor.
15:34He's out of the lethal lottery right now, but he didn't wanna be.
15:37He is one tough customer.
15:38Yeah, he was carrying so much metal from that parking lot match,
15:42leftover from those cars around the parking lot.
15:45He had a hard time getting through the metal detector at the airport.
15:48Those Irish eyes weren't smiling.
15:49They were furious.
15:50They were not.
15:51Well, you know Regal's happy about not having him for a partner.
15:56Those guys would have ripped each other to pieces before the match even started.
15:59Big European uppercut forearm by Squire David Taylor.
16:03And I'll tell you what, that'll rock your world in a hurry.
16:06Double sledge coming off the ring apron.
16:09And again, we talked about Diamond Dallas Page earlier on.
16:12I want to point out that hard work Bobby Walker.
16:15He got hurt in a big bad way over the weekend in the ever so
16:20lucky Diamond Dallas Page now in the lethal lottery.
16:27Well, what goes around comes around.
16:30This man Diamond Dallas has always been a credit to the sport.
16:32Yeah, like I said, like a cold sword.
16:33And he's also been a credit to humanity.
16:36And for this man to be out of wrestling, for this man to be on the street,
16:39living like a bum, living like, just living like a bum.
16:43He should not do that.
16:44He's back in WCW where he should be.
16:46That man's a credit to our sport.
16:48Irish of a nice reversal by Chris Benoit.
16:52This guy is so rugged.
16:56Your opinion stinks.
16:58Do you know that?
16:59Mine?
17:00No. Mine?
17:00Penance.
17:02I was gonna say.
17:03About Diamond Dallas.
17:04That stinks.
17:05You know that guy's no good.
17:07You know it.
17:07You got enough to worry about.
17:09I understand the Macho Man Randy Savage is outside.
17:12He's got some cover.
17:14Wait a minute, Macho's here?
17:15He's here.
17:16He's outside.
17:16I wanna go talk to him.
17:18I wanna go talk to him.
17:18Wait a minute, where's he going?
17:20You can't mongo.
17:22Okay, now bolt the door so he can't get back in.
17:24Steve McMichael, hearing that the Macho Man Randy Savage is outside.
17:30Gene Oakland's gonna be trying to take, he just bailed out of here.
17:34He took off like he had a message for Savage.
17:36Dragon Suplex, one, two.
17:38He got him.
17:39He got him.
17:39Now is McMichael's going outside to talk to Savage?
17:44Or is he going to the little boy's room?
17:45I don't know what that's about.
17:47Steve McMichael, bailed.
17:50I know what it's about.
17:50The symbol of excellence.
17:54And you heard it from Chris Benoit, the symbol of excellence for Horseman.
18:01Guaranteed one tough customer.
18:03Squire Dave Taylor, no slouch.
18:06Chris Benoit, very, very tough man.
18:09A member of the Horseman, knows exactly what to do.
18:11Set Mr. Taylor up.
18:12He was all, he was all Mr. Benoit's now.
18:16Takes him over backwards, that suplex.
18:18He's not going anywhere.
18:20Coming up next, the Nature Boy Ric Flair.
18:22She takes on VK Wall Street here, live on Nitro.
18:28And I gotta tell you, we didn't know- Where's Mongo?
18:30Well, we're gonna find out after this break.
18:32Gene Oakland's gonna be talking to the Macho Man outside the building.
18:35Get a camera out there then.
18:36I'll go.
18:38All right, we're back on WCW Monday Night Raw.
18:40We are in Nashville, Tennessee.
18:42We are live, and with me at this time is the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
18:45He has been barred from the building.
18:47He is persona non grata here.
18:49And Randy, I've followed you for your entire career.
18:52And in my opinion, the train's in town.
18:55In my opinion, you have lost it.
18:57What's the deal, man?
18:58Wait a second here, just a second.
19:00Wait a minute, baby.
19:01If anybody in the WCW can sympathize with what you're going through,
19:06it's Mongo, baby.
19:08Ric Flair, you done made a mistake now, darling.
19:11It's all right going out and getting your publicity on my behalf out in front of
19:15the whole world.
19:16But when you come back in the locker room messing with family, baby,
19:19you made it real now, darling.
19:21And I'm gonna do something about it.
19:23Macho, just chill out, baby, because I've got a plan.
19:26All right, easy does it here.
19:28Just a second.
19:29Come on.
19:30Hey, you're not gonna be allowed in there, Randy.
19:32Forget it.
19:33Yes, Doug Dillinger, please.
19:35I have business to conduct here.
19:37Can we talk, as Joan Rivers would say?
19:39Randy Savage, I wanna say it again.
19:41Come here, please, don't walk away from me.
19:43You have lost it.
19:44Lost what?
19:45Your mind.
19:46Let me tell you something, I'll tell you crazy.
19:47You ain't seen crazy.
19:48You ain't seen nuts.
19:50I'll talk to you in another lifetime, but not this one.
19:53I'm gonna take the WCW and turn it upside down.
19:56You got it?
19:57Well, it's a blade upside down a little bit.
20:00But Randy Savage finds the Magic Johnson to Dennis Rodman.
20:04Those failures by comparison- I don't care about the money.
20:07I don't care about the money.
20:08Do you understand that?
20:09Who said that?
20:09I don't care about the money.
20:11I'll reiterate that.
20:12You're gone. You understand that?
20:13Don't tell me where I'm going, because you don't know where I've been.
20:17Randy Savage. You don't know where I've been.
20:18You are going to have to coexist this Sunday.
20:21I was there when the gals drew the names of you and
20:23the Nature Boy, Ric Flair, as a team in the Lethal Lottery.
20:27If you wanna get the Battle Bull,
20:28you're gonna have to make it happen with this man.
20:30Wait a minute, I don't have a problem with that at all.
20:34I don't mind dragging a dead tag team partner to the ring.
20:38I am not here, because I'll win the Lethal Lottery, and
20:43I'll do everything I gotta do to get where I gotta get.
20:47You understand that?
20:48I don't know if I understand or not.
20:50Please, Randy.
20:50I saw a woman psychiatrist, yeah, and she said I was an OCD one cool dude.
20:55You understand that?
20:56Let me- All right, I should point out that WCW officials have told this man to seek
21:01behavioral help, whether it's a psychiatrist or some kind of counseling.
21:06I don't believe he has done it.
21:07Stay tuned, we are live in Nashville, Tennessee, and there is more.
21:11WCW Monday Night Raw coming up after this, don't go away.
21:15Don't let him in there.
21:16Don't let him in there.
21:18Don't let him in there.
21:20Don't let him in there.
21:46All right, welcome back.
21:51We are live here on TNT, WCW Night Show.
21:54And I wanna know, Steve Mongo McMichael,
21:56you walked out of that interview with that lunatic, the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
22:01You said you had a plan.
22:02We've been hearing a lot of rumors about you and Kevin Green,
22:05formerly the Pittsburgh Steelers, now the Carolina Panthers.
22:08You wanna put the rumors to rest?
22:10What's up with that?
22:11Well, let me tell you what, my friend.
22:13It's apparent what's been on all the sports, all the sports ways,
22:17that yeah, we've got a deal going.
22:19I've got a plan, but I'm smart enough not to sit here and
22:24divulge the whole plan to Ric Flair and the four horsemen, my friend.
22:29Steve Mongo McMichael, the dirtiest broadcaster in the game today, huh?
22:34I'll agree with that.
22:36What is it, Mongo?
22:38Come on, your buddy Kevin Green is over the whole airwave shooting off his mouth.
22:41You guys need to know if I was smart enough not to go out there by myself
22:46against the four horsemen.
22:48Now, you can take it as Kevin Green is gonna be with me, or
22:52there's gonna be some other people with me, who knows?
22:56The Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
22:59Look at him.
23:01And I'll tell you what, the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
23:05is outside, his eyes rolling back at his head,
23:09foaming at the mouth with his head spinning because this man has pushed
23:14every button he can possibly push.
23:18He has spent the Macho Man's money.
23:20He is down with the Macho Man's ex-wife.
23:23He carries the Macho Man's formerly platinum credit cards,
23:29and he is living off of it.
23:32There's no doubt about it, he's pushed the right buttons on him.
23:35I mean, when you- Sounds to me, Mongo,
23:37like he's pushed the right buttons on you.
23:39He has, he has, but I'm not that volatile individual.
23:43There'll be a time, there'll come a time when I'm gonna get to do something about
23:47it, but not right now, just like Bobby said, I'm a broadcast journalist.
23:51Well, I'm not gonna call you a liar, but I heard Ditka say right to you, Eric,
23:55about how this Mongo is uncontrollable, how this man could have played football
23:59at any era because he's that much of a competitor, and
24:02how dangerous this man is on the field.
24:05And he comes out here and tells you and I that don't worry,
24:07he's a calm individual, uh-uh.
24:09I don't think so.
24:10I don't think so either.
24:12This ought to be an interesting matchup here,
24:13VK Wallstreet, The Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
24:16You know, you said it right.
24:17Liz, outside of the ring.
24:20VK Wallstreet has got to keep his eyes on those women,
24:22because we've seen it time and time again, they will interfere.
24:28Well, baby, did you bring those brass knuckles?
24:30I'm about to go up there and give them to VK.
24:32VK Wallstreet into a side headlock on The Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
24:39The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, takes Wallstreet into the ring ropes.
24:41Stands there, shoulder tackle takedown.
24:43Ric Flair did not get set up, did not have enough of a base.
24:46VK Wallstreet's got a little bit of an edge in terms of height.
24:50And he took The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, off his feet.
24:52The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, make no mistake about it.
24:55He's not only the dirtiest player in the game, he is also a veteran with years and
25:01years of ring experience.
25:03He goes into a hammerlock, reversed into a hammerlock by VK Wallstreet.
25:06Dropped a whole takedown by The Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
25:08He goes into a front face lock.
25:10Sit out and turn by VK Wallstreet into a hammerlock.
25:13And VK Wallstreet matching The Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
25:15Move for move here, Mongo.
25:18Yes, there's no question about it, VK Wallstreet is a technical wrestler.
25:22To match anybody in the WCW, baby.
25:26Well, you know, you talked about Savage being on the outside.
25:28He's been on the outside for a long time, looking in.
25:31He's looking at this man right here, Ric Flair.
25:33The man that took the title from him, took his woman from him,
25:36took his bankroll from him.
25:37And now he's gonna have to tag with him.
25:39That's right, but that's not- Coming up, it's Slammory.
25:41That won't happen.
25:41Savage isn't gonna be able to be controlled.
25:43They're not gonna walk to the ring together.
25:45They're not gonna stand in the corner together.
25:47And that's the only way they can make this thing work.
25:49But it's not gonna happen cuz you're dealing with personal vendettas here.
25:53And then, Mongo, if you let Ric Flair get to you,
25:56you're gonna be in a worse state than Savage is in.
25:58Look at VK Wallstreet now, going after the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
26:01Hip toss takedown on the Nature Boy.
26:03VK now with an Irish whip, and, Mongo, if you've got any idea about getting inside
26:08of that ring with Kevin Green, without Kevin Green, or without, I'll tell you what,
26:13with the whole Chicago Bear defensive line, forget about it, brother,
26:16cuz this guy is dangerous.
26:19Well, he better- Take care of your personal issues outside of the WCW.
26:22He better be ready for a good, old-fashioned street fight.
26:26That's all I've got to say.
26:27We're getting a little closer to what's going on here now.
26:29I'm gonna get it out of you before the night's over.
26:32It won't be long before Flair's walking up the wall like Fred Astaire.
26:35Look at the moves this man has.
26:36He can dance.
26:38And he can make you nuts, Heenan.
26:39He can make you nuts.
26:41Let me tell you one thing about getting in somebody's head.
26:44That means you're not concentrating on the task at hand.
26:47I think it's a prime opportunity for VK Wallstreet to take him down.
26:51But look at the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
26:53He's outside, wearing a hole in the parking lot, talking to himself.
26:57This guy's lost it.
26:58He's certainly not concentrating on the matters at hand.
27:01He might end up with a straight jacket at the rate he's going.
27:05And at the rate VK Wallstreet is going, he could end up with a big win here on
27:08Nitro. We'll be back with more action right after this.
27:12That's it, that's it.
27:13All right, welcome back.
27:24As VK Wallstreet gets ready for Slammarine this Sunday.
27:29He'll be teaming up with a man he can't stand, Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
27:32And he's taking it out on the Nature Boy, Ric Flair, right now.
27:35I'll tell you what, there is no love lost between anybody here in WCW now.
27:40They're all going after each other.
27:42And I'll tell you, it might be even a commercial break.
27:44VK Wallstreet has dominated this match.
27:47He has taken it to Flair.
27:49You're right, Bobby.
27:50Last call.
27:51VK Wallstreet really heating it up here on Nitro.
27:56And talking about heating it up, Shaquille O'Neal and company, heating it up.
28:00Tonight, they'll be taking on the Hawks following WCW Monday Night Show.
28:05And I know Hulk Hogan, of course, we saw Hulk Hogan, Shaq, and
28:08Sugar Ray Leonard this weekend.
28:10Cuz they had a whole lot of fun together.
28:14I know Hulk Hogan and Shaquille O'Neal have been getting together.
28:17Hulk Hogan giving Shaq some pointers.
28:19That ought to be interesting.
28:21Are they still in it?
28:22Are they still in it?
28:24Yeah, I'd say they're still in it.
28:25Let me tell you about that.
28:26You got your finger on the pulse of the sports world, don't you?
28:28Well, I'm a broadcast journalist.
28:30Yeah, you are.
28:30Let me tell you about the clout this man has, Ric Flair.
28:33He has a VIP section over here at ringside.
28:36He's got champagne, caviar, cover, one, two.
28:40He got no- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
28:42Close.
28:44I mean, he's got the best of champagne, he's got candelabras, he's got sterling.
28:48And he's gonna sit there with women and with Elizabeth, no doubt.
28:52And watch the championship match coming up with Luger and the Giant.
28:56Ric Flair just shot BK Wallstreet out of that ring like he was shot out of a cannon.
29:01But BK coming back, and I'll tell you what,
29:03BK Wallstreet has got his eyes set on that Lord of the Ring.
29:06One, two, he wants a shot at the World Heavyweight title.
29:10But who is gonna hold that title?
29:12Because coming up next, it is Lex Luger against the Giant.
29:15The match that, well, like we said at the beginning of the broadcast,
29:19will three times be a charm for Lex Luger.
29:23I'm sorry to laugh over you, Eric, but
29:24I just love it now when this guy gets it handed to him.
29:27He's getting to you, my God.
29:28You're beautiful.
29:29And BK Wallstreet went to lay a big knee right on the chin of Nature Boy Ric Flair.
29:38Flair moved out of the way, and all BK got was a knee full of ring post.
29:44I'll show you how good Flair is, and I'll show you how good Wallstreet is.
29:48Flair laid against that post, laid there and
29:51set himself up so Wallstreet would think he could nail him to that post.
29:55Flair knew all along, he knew what the man was thinking.
29:58Now, don't you fall for a trap, and don't anybody else fall for a trap.
30:01But this man, Ric Flair, is a master.
30:04He can play with- Here he comes, here he comes.
30:05He's got him out in the middle of the ring.
30:07Big ear far, and look it.
30:09She's giving him some leverage.
30:10Give it up. That referee doesn't see it.
30:12Oh, no.
30:15Nature Boy Ric Flair.
30:21That's it, that's it, style and profile.
30:25He just likes to hold hands with a pretty woman.
30:29Just remember, Mr. Bishop, every dog has his day.
30:32And the dog to my right, and
30:36I'm not talking about Pepe, beginning to show his teeth, I'm afraid.
30:41Be careful, Mungo.
30:42Has anybody got any Vaseline?
30:44My eyes are getting red.
30:45The hair is up on the back of his neck.
30:47Look at this, he goes right over to the table to mean Gene Okerlund.
30:52All right, I thank you very much, Eric.
30:53Very exciting contest.
30:55I don't think, Ric Flair, you have endeared yourself to the good people
31:00of Nashville, Tennessee, but
31:01then you haven't been doing a whole lot of that lately.
31:03They've not thought much of a Nature Boy
31:07since I made Dolly Parton ride Smith Mountain one night.
31:13Let's talk about comments that I received earlier from the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
31:17The man who this Sunday at Slammory is gonna be your partner is unglued.
31:21Did I hear the Macho Man say he would drag a dead man to the ring?
31:28That's exactly what he said.
31:30MVG.
31:30Please, Flair, I get the message.
31:39Does the Nature Boy look like he's dead to you?
31:43Macho, Slammory, I'm gonna wear a new tuxedo.
31:49The girls are gonna be dressed to kill.
31:52And we're gonna knock WCW out its ass, brother, whoo!
31:58You know, you have been eyeballing a lot of the ladies lately.
32:02As a matter of fact, you have taken visual liberties by a young lady by
32:06the name of Debra- You're gonna bring up that football player
32:13that dares to be a defensive lineman talking to Joe Namath.
32:19Brother, that's a difference.
32:21While you rolled in the dirt to become a four-time All-Pro,
32:27I got my fingernails manicured, I stayed up all night.
32:31I threw touchdown pass, whoo, after touchdown pass.
32:38And brother, look at my wide receivers, whoo!
32:42Yes, thank you very much, ladies.
32:44I wouldn't touch that with a ten-foot rake.
32:47More nitro coming up after this here on TNT.
32:49You've gotta be- Wow.
32:52Coming up next, Lex Luthor, he camped out all night for
32:56a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight title.
32:59He'll get it right after this.
33:02All right, welcome back.
33:04We are live here on TNT.
33:06If we were not live, we would have edited out some of the language in that interview
33:12from The Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
33:13I wanna apologize on behalf of WCW for that.
33:17And Mongo, I wanna apologize.
33:18I mean, the things he said out there, there was no call for it.
33:21Maybe part of my plan should be washing his mouth out with soap.
33:25I'd vote for that one.
33:26But right now, we have got Bobby Heenan,
33:28the man who everybody has been doubting, including you, for a long time.
33:33Lex Luthor, this is third time,
33:37will it be a charm here tonight against this monster?
33:40Seven foot four, 440 plus pounds,
33:43the biggest man in professional wrestling today.
33:48Make no mistake about it.
33:50He may be the biggest man in professional sports.
33:52There's some basketball players that are seven seven, but look at that.
33:55They don't weigh what this man weighs.
33:57Look at Luger.
33:57Luger, one of the most powerful athletes in our sport,
34:01bouncing off this behemoth like a rubber ball.
34:06A clothesline, Mongo, he didn't even have to take a step into that clothesline.
34:10He just muscled Luger down like a child.
34:14It's unbelievable the mass and strength of this man.
34:17I mean, sports fans, Lex Luthor stands head and
34:21shoulders above a normal man, and look at the job.
34:25I'll tell you something, Luthor's got probably the greatest opportunity of
34:27anybody right now, because he's in there with the champion of the world.
34:30And he can beat this man.
34:32Luthor has those kind of credentials, but he can't listen to Sting.
34:36I don't care what Sting has told him.
34:38I know Sting's probably talked to him.
34:39But if you notice lately, they've been arguing.
34:41They can't even have a discussion without yelling at each other.
34:44Running clothesline by Lex Luthor.
34:46Lex Luthor trying to take this giant off of his feet.
34:50No can do.
34:52He gets caught like a fly on paper.
34:57Look at this.
34:58He is a monster.
34:59He is just too much human being to handle.
35:04Right in the small of the back, too.
35:06I don't care what kind of shape you're in like Luger.
35:08You get a man 440 pounds, seven foot four, running across that ring and
35:12driving the small of your back into the top of that rope.
35:14That's why that man right there is the champion.
35:17Well, baby, you've got to watch and learn.
35:19And you know how the Stinger takes him on?
35:21He goes right for that weak link down there.
35:24You take the man's legs out, he's gonna fall like a giant.
35:27Weak link?
35:28He's got legs like oak trees.
35:31Well, if that's his weak link, everybody in WCW is in a whole heck of a lot of trouble.
35:36They are, because that is the weakest link, and that's saying something.
35:40What is the weak link to this man, the giant?
35:42Probably he hasn't been in the ring that long.
35:44Look at this.
35:45Man, if Luger hits him, he- Look at that.
35:48Uh-uh, nothing.
35:49That massive forearm that has served Luger so well for so long.
35:55A forearm that took Yokozuna off his feet and knocked him out for
35:59ten minutes not that long ago.
36:01And he ricochets off this monster, the giant.
36:05Like I said earlier, a rubber ball, and then the giant picks him up and tosses him.
36:13Right over that top rope from the floor, stands there and presses Luger.
36:16And look at this, look at this, the nature boy.
36:20Champagne flowing, caviar, fine ladies.
36:23It's like he's got nothing to worry about.
36:26Look at that.
36:27Well, that's his VIP section.
36:30Did you see the giant?
36:31A push to the face sends Luger all the way across the ring.
36:35Luger coming back, shoulders into the midsection,
36:39trying to soften this big man up, trying to knock the wind out of him.
36:42Going for the solar plexus.
36:45He better bring him in that ring though.
36:47Big back front leg around kick.
36:51Another of those massive bone crushing forearms, a steel plate in the forearm
36:56of Lex Luger from that motorcycle accident a few years ago.
36:59And absolutely no effect on the giant.
37:03Look out, he's got the man by the neck.
37:06Look out, he's got him.
37:10He's the man that wrecked the buffet.
37:16Luger.
37:17This is a new meaning to breaking bread.
37:19Breaking bread, breaking neck, and look at that.
37:23He's gonna drive him to the table.
37:26My goodness.
37:30That's devastating.
37:31That is Lex Luger laying there on the floor, jammed through a table.
37:36Flair going over the rail.
37:37Look at Flair.
37:38He's scared to death.
37:39The women are scared to death.
37:41Jimmy Hart trying to stop the joint.
37:43Somebody stop this.
37:44This is carnage.
37:45This is carnage.
37:47Stop it.
37:49Stop it now.
37:50Macho's not the only one going berserk around here.
37:52There's things.
37:53Stop it now.
37:57Stinger out.
37:59Stinger's come to the aid of his best friend, Lex Luger.
38:02Lex Luger has proved to the world.
38:05He may have been back- He is a stand-up guy, but it did him absolutely no good.
38:11He has just been destroyed by this lunatic 440 pound psycho, sick, demented.
38:21A chokeslam through a table.
38:27They might have to get the EMS out here.
38:28Get that man a stretcher.
38:30I'll tell you, Luger's not moving too well.
38:32He's been on that floor for quite some time now.
38:34He is hurt.
38:37Man.
38:39Did you see that, Bishop?
38:40He picked him up by the neck with one hand and drove him through that table.
38:43I don't know.
38:44This is not good.
38:45This is not good.
38:48Even though this happened to him, baby, I have new respect for Lex Luger.
38:52He camped out outside, and he came in here and stood up.
38:56If there has been any doubt about the intentions,
39:00the integrity of Lex Luger, he put them to rest tonight.
39:04Get out of here, Gene.
39:05Not right now, Gene.
39:06Get out of here.
39:07Gene Oakley trying to find out, but this is obviously not-
39:13Well, maybe Luger now can team up with Billy Ray Cyrus and sing about his achy
39:17brachy back.
39:18Shut up, Heenan.
39:20Talking to me?
39:21Yeah, I'm talking to you.
39:22Well, I know I heard two distinct thuds.
39:24One when he was being driven through that table, and
39:27another one when he hit that concrete floor.
39:29That can't be good for you.
39:32Well, he needs some help.
39:33He needs it bad.
39:34All right, let's hear it.
39:47Watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out.
39:50What are you doing?
39:51What are you doing?
39:53What are you doing?
39:54That's it, that's it.
39:55No, no, no, no.
39:58Go, go, go.
40:00Go.
40:01Go.
40:02Go.
40:10There he is.
40:11You got to take me in.
40:11Hey, pass the ball to him.
40:13Pass it over.
40:14I don't know what to say.
40:29Have mercy.
40:30Well, I'll talk to nobody else cuz I don't know what to say.
40:36Devastation, devastation.
40:39When's the last time you saw a man 275 pounds like Lex Luger?
40:43The total package, man who has held every title imaginable at WCW all over
40:48the world, picked up by his neck, picked up a good six and
40:52a half to seven feet in the air, and jammed through a table.
40:56Right at the feet of Ric Flair, woman, and Miss Elizabeth.
41:00Well, I'll tell you what, if Sting needed motivation for
41:03Slamboree coming up, if he needed that extra push, he got it tonight.
41:08But you've, I mean, the image that is going to be burned into his mind
41:13when he steps into that ring six days from now at Slamboree for
41:16a shot at that world title is gonna be the image of his best friend picked up,
41:21straight up in the air with one hand, driven through a table onto the concrete floor.
41:26And I don't know if it's motivation or just absolute fear.
41:31You're wrong about that.
41:32He can't go in that match thinking his mind about his busted a buddy laying on
41:37the floor.
41:38You gotta worry about your own carcass, your own back, and your own backside.
