00:00You've been there buddy, you've been in the big games, you felt the tension, what's going
00:18through their minds?
00:19Let me tell you what, this is how far we're going for our Nitro fans tonight, this match
00:24should have been on pay-per-view tonight, Hulk Hogan and Sting, unprecedented, and you're
00:29getting to see it live tonight, just tune in baby, absolutely whatever you do, do not
00:35leave us for one second because you're going to see what is probably going to go down in
00:39history as one of the hottest, most exciting wrestling shows of all time, this is without
00:45a doubt the Super Bowl of wrestling tonight right here on Nitro.
00:50You've got Hulk Hogan, you've got Sting, you have two of the most popular wrestlers in
00:56this sport today, going head-to-head, live, coming to you on Nitro, we heard what Mongo
01:03thought Bobby, what's going through your mind?
01:04Well, this is a match people thought they'd never see, and you're going to hear something
01:08come out of me you thought you'd never hear, I'm going to be rooting for Sting tonight
01:12because I want Sting to beat Hogan, and when Sting gets done beating Hogan, I hope he falls
01:16down the stairs, hits his head, and knocks himself out, and they eliminate each other,
01:21that's how I feel.
01:22You're right, I never thought I'd hear you say it, let's crank it up, let's get down
01:26to the ring.
01:27Ladies and gentlemen, the following special rematch, live on WCW Monday Nitro, is set
01:34for one fall, introducing first, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, weighing 335 pounds, Scott Flash
01:44Norton.
01:45Scott Flash Norton, and he got that name from his career as a professional arm wrestler,
01:53this guy would flash you, he'd lock up, the referee would say go, and it would be over,
01:59in less than a heartbeat, and sure comes out, and Mongo, we've seen it before, every time
02:05these two guys get near each other, they are pounding salt.
02:09I'll tell you what, ever since Scott Norton came into the WCW, these guys have been brawling,
02:15I think they've been fighting for two weeks straight now.
02:17Well, they took Thursday afternoon off, but they've been fighting ever since.
02:21Scott Norton, Shark, two big, powerful men, that are making their presence felt here in
02:28WCW, and I'll tell you what, they are making their presence felt on each other, no love
02:33lost between the two.
02:35Well, you know, Shark's well over 500 pounds, and Norton is a very, very strong man.
02:40Arm wrestling champion, he's a big star in Japan, all over the world, and they both got
02:45a lot of intestinal fortitude, and a lot of pride, and someone may get hurt here.
02:49Someone may get hurt, but Mongo, it looks to me like Shark's got the ring.
02:53Did you see that?
02:54Now that, this is my kind of match, baby.
02:57Just brute force, and squash the opponent.
03:03Belly to belly suplex out of Shark.
03:07I'll tell you what, I hope they reinforce this mat tonight.
03:11Reinforce the floor.
03:12Well, you're not going to see a lot of arm bars and wrestling holds, like Eddie Guerrero,
03:17or Dean Malenko, or Benoit.
03:19You're just going to see two big, huge men pound on each other, and the luckiest one's
03:24going to win, and the one with the best conditioning.
03:26It's like two trains colliding here.
03:29Scott Norton back into the corner, and here comes Shark Flash.
03:33Man alive.
03:34This is surf and turf, baby.
03:36A shark against a rhinoceros.
03:39Oh, if he'd have been a football player, Norton, Shark would have knocked the numbers right
03:43off that jersey.
03:44Well, he took him on high.
03:45He'd have probably laid me to find.
03:46We have got action here.
03:48Whatever you do, stay with us.
03:50You want to know what's going on anywhere in the world of wrestling, call Mike today
03:54on the WCW hotline, 1-909-9900.
03:57He'll give you all of the information on all of the pay-per-views that have recently
04:01taken place.
04:02Wrestlers that are no longer a part of WCW, as of today, by the way, and there's only
04:09one place to get that information, and right now, you've got Shark.
04:13Solar Plex is first right into that top turn.
04:15Fuck, look at that!
04:17Look at that power.
04:18Look at that power.
04:19He got him!
04:20That's unbelievable.
04:21He got him!
04:22Here's your winner of the match, Scott Flash Norton!
04:28And Norton puts the period at the end of this sentence.
04:33Well, he's from a tough neighborhood.
04:36I ask him once, what do you get at the end of a sentence?
04:38He says parole.
04:40I'll tell you what, years ago, I used to watch him down at a place on a river in Minneapolis
04:46called Grand Rapids, and he'd throw them out one hand at a time.
04:50The bigger they came, the harder he threw them.
04:53They all went out the front door.
04:55This is one super tough individual.
04:58Look at this.
04:59He snatched that 500 pounds up and slung it over his head.
05:03Unbelievable.
05:04You know, you see some wrestlers today pick up a man.
05:07They don't get him all the way up.
05:08They don't get to turn him.
05:09It's kind of like a hip lock.
05:11Norton got the man up.
05:12He turned him in the air, and he slammed him.
05:15Don't forget, we've got Hulk Hogan.
05:17We've got Sting in your main event, and it's coming up right here.
05:20Monday night, you're live on TNT.
05:22Don't leave us now.
05:24Where you going?
05:25The hottest thing going on television tonight and every Monday night.
05:36With me at this time, the Taskmaster, Kevin Sullivan, the head man for the Dungeon of Doom.
05:42And you've got to be the original Benedict Arnold, Jimmy Hart.
05:46The way you've been stirring things up, you've been stirring the pot, it's starting to really smell.
05:50Well, you know, thanks once again for the compliment, Mean Gene.
05:53Stinger, listen to me, baby.
05:55Tonight's your night.
05:57You can beat the so-called immortal Hulk Hogan.
06:00Jimmy Hart's not going to be at his side tonight.
06:03He's lost all the little Hulkamaniacs, Sting.
06:06Listen to me.
06:07When he came into the WCW, baby, you're the one that gave him the stamp of approval.
06:12When he needed a co-star for Thunder in Paradise, it was you, Sting, at his side.
06:17But look now, he's got a brand new best friend, and it's the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
06:22Look, there's a brand new episode of Baywatch coming out.
06:26Did you get a call to be on that show, Stinger?
06:29I don't think so, baby.
06:31It was his new best friend, the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
06:35Think about it, baby.
06:37Sounds like the bicycle chain might have snapped by the sound of his voice, Kevin.
06:41Well, let me tell you what's going to snap.
06:43What's going to snap is World War III.
06:47Three rings, 60 men, all vying for the same thing, Mean Gene, the world title
06:56that Hogan was stupid enough to hand over to the only manager that I ever had, Jimmy Hart.
07:05You see, Mean Gene, in this World War III, with the title up, it's real simple.
07:14You're going to bet against the dungeon?
07:16There are strength in numbers.
07:18I don't bet anyway.
07:19You know better than that.
07:20But anyway, what's your point, Cash Baxter?
07:22My point is this.
07:23We've waited a long time for the immortal Hulk Hogan to be in the ring with a bunch of us.
07:29I thank you very much.
07:31Two of the biggest pieces of human garbage I could ever recall.
07:34Eric, let's get back to you.
07:36All right, thanks.
07:37Thanks, Gino.
07:38And I'll tell you what, Bobby, you were there, and I'm sure, Mungo, you remember
07:41when Randy Savage, one thing that these guys talked about that's making me real nervous,
07:45when Randy Savage came to WCW, on his debut, he came out and he said,
07:50I've got one thing on my mind, I want the world title.
07:54You have to wonder, the way things are stirred up here, the way everybody's looking at everybody,
08:00how much can Hulk Hogan really trust?
08:02Well, the Taskmaster right now makes Sigmund Freud look like an amateur.
08:06Hogan, you don't have a friend in the world.
08:09You think Savage, you and him, the Phantom of the Opera, is going to help you?
08:12No, sir.
08:14Everybody's out to get you, Hogan.
08:16You now have to come off that tree like all the other nuts and apples.
08:20You're going to have to beat 59 people to become champion of the world.
08:24You can't do it.
08:26Oh, you know what?
08:28Your opinion's got a lot in common with something my feet, and they both stink.
08:32You know what I'm saying?
08:33Easy, guys, easy.
08:35We'll just settle it in the ring.
08:36Let's get down to the ring right now.
08:38I'd get up to it.
08:39Disco Fever, wait a minute, wait a minute.
08:41Not Disco Fever.
08:43It's Eddie Guerrero we're looking for.
08:46I hear it.
08:48Oh, get down.
08:49I'm hearing Disco Fever music.
08:53I'm looking for Eddie Guerrero and Ric Flair.
08:58Get this.
09:00Handing their rear end out of the building.
09:02But it's Monday night, and Disco Inferno wants to dance.
09:07Look at this.
09:08He's got his disco tape.
09:09He's got his CD.
09:10I've got a good idea.
09:11Why don't this guy disco away?
09:13Yeah, absolutely.
09:15Just get the heck out of here.
09:16He's got to sell these CDs.
09:18He was on the parking lot trying to hack those things for $49 a copy.
09:22What a deal.
09:23Let's go.
09:24Ladies and gentlemen, the next one up here on the dance floor.
09:26Now I've got something to line my catwalk with.
09:28Introducing first, from El Paso, Texas,
09:31Eddie Guerrero.
09:35Eddie Guerrero, the scheduled match.
09:38Disco Inferno trying to get as much air time as he can get.
09:43We've seen that before.
09:44But the scheduled match is Eddie Guerrero and Ric Flair.
09:49Representing the Four Horsemen from Charlotte, North Carolina,
09:54weighing 242 pounds, Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
10:01And the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
10:04Filing and profiling.
10:06Oh, wait a minute.
10:07He's in street clothes.
10:08What's going on here?
10:10I'm surprised you know what street clothes is.
10:15What the heck is going on here?
10:17Well, if we all show up, maybe we'll find out.
10:20The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, scheduled to meet Eddie Guerrero.
10:25Guerrero, a guy who's made a big impression on the fans here at WCW.
10:31What's Coleman doing there?
10:34Well, he's one of the Four Horsemen.
10:36I don't know where Anderson is or Chris Benoit, the Canadian Tripler.
10:40But Flair obviously has something to say, and he's going to say it.
10:44Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
10:47Apparently, somewhere in the wrestling world,
10:51there's been a big mistake made.
10:54They actually thought that I was going to come out here
10:57and wrestle you tonight, brother.
10:59You know that's a mistake.
11:00That's an insult.
11:01I'm the Nature Boy.
11:02That's an insult.
11:03And I'm focused.
11:04Woo!
11:05Oh.
11:06And I'm so focused.
11:07This is a coward's way out.
11:08On the figure that I have decided to let the great Ryan,
11:15Ryan Hillman have the honors of pounding you through the mat.
11:23Double A and Benoit, as we speak, are gassing up the Jets.
11:30The hooter girls are ready to go.
11:32Ryan, Ryan, you take care of my light work.
11:36I'll hold the Jet, brother.
11:38Knock them dead.
11:39Woo!
11:40Woo!
11:41That is an insult, not only to Eddie Guerrero, but to the fans,
11:49to the WCW Executive Committee.
11:51By the way, Manga, who I'm sure,
11:53and I know you know all about having fines leveled against you in the NFL,
11:57Ric Flair is going to get the same treatment from the WCW Executive Committee.
12:02He was signed for this match.
12:03He should have wrestled him.
12:05You just had an insult on top of insult.
12:07Did you see him waving that jacket in front of him like he was a bull?
12:11And we have got action here.
12:13If you're flipping back and forth, forget about it.
12:15You're watching a commercial over there,
12:18and you've got some of the greatest action going right here on TNT
12:23where the big boys play each and every week.
12:27Irish whip.
12:29And Eddie Guerrero, necktie, head scissors, takeover,
12:33jump drop kick, perfect execution in a big, plain old-fashioned Texas right hand, Manga.
12:40Yes, sir.
12:41I'm looking for Mr. Guerrero to open up a good old-fashioned number nine can of
12:47You know, I'll tell you something about Eddie Guerrero.
12:49I'm tired of you two singing the praises of this ham and egger.
12:53Every place I go, on the airplanes, hotels, everybody's asking me about Eddie Guerrero.
12:58Eddie Guerrero, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.
13:00I've had it with you.
13:02You know, you need a breath mint.
13:04Breath mint?
13:05You stink.
13:07Midair collision, Brian Pillman in control.
13:10Only got a two count.
13:11And fans, in case you just joined us, the match of all matches,
13:15history will be made here tonight.
13:17Hulk Hogan will face Sting in the main event.
13:21You heard me absolutely correct.
13:23No, this is not pay-per-view.
13:25This is Monday Nitro on TNT, where you get the best each and every week,
13:30and you are getting a match that will go down in history tonight.
13:33Hulk Hogan and Sting, no one in the world ever thought they'd see it,
13:37and you're going to see it live here tonight.
13:39I saw Hogan come in the back way about an hour and a half ago.
13:42He had a limousine.
13:43He had an entourage of people around him.
13:45They were a huddle over him.
13:46I couldn't get a good look at him, but I didn't see the yellow.
13:49I didn't see any red.
13:50There's something going through Hogan's mind.
13:52I don't know what he's going to look like,
13:54but he's got to have in the back of his mind his last friend, Sting.
13:58He's got to meet down in the ring.
14:00He's still got to be concerned with Savage.
14:03This thing's going to erupt tonight.
14:06Somebody better go get him a heart pill.
14:08He's fixing to pop over there for God's sake.
14:10Why don't you forget about Hogan and watch this match
14:13because I'm telling you, Mr. Guerrero is going to take it to one of the four hearts.
14:18Brian Pillman, Irish whip reverse.
14:20Eddie Guerrero coming up the ropes.
14:22Back body drop.
14:23Guerrero right in the middle of the ring, and it is, indeed,
14:25Brian Pillman in control, and you have to wonder.
14:27One, two.
14:28Referee in position.
14:29Eddie Guerrero trained hard for a week for the opportunity
14:33to face the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
14:35They shifted gears.
14:36They double clutched, and now he's got Brian Pillman.
14:39Different game plan altogether.
14:41You've got to wonder, Mongo, how much of an effect this is going to have
14:44on Guerrero's offense.
14:46Well, I think Mr. Guerrero came into the WCW thinking he was going to have
14:50to work his way up, and Mr. Brian Pillman is just another man
14:54he's going to have to go through, period.
14:58Well, the feed I get from everybody in the back
15:01is everybody's thinking about World War III,
15:04and tonight with a match like Hogan against Sting,
15:08I don't know where their thoughts are, where their minds are,
15:10but it's got to be right here.
15:12It's got to be in the ring tonight, but it can't be
15:14because you know as well as anybody else,
15:16World War III is the hottest thing going, and everyone's thinking about it.
15:20In case you just joined us, you're absolutely right.
15:22It is Hulk Hogan.
15:23It is Sting in the main event, but the focus should be,
15:27on everybody's mind, 60-man battle royal.
15:30It has never happened before.
15:32Three rings simultaneously.
15:34All 60 competitors will be vying, and we will have a new cover.
15:38One, two, and Pillman in control again,
15:40but we will have a new world heavyweight champion
15:44at World War III Sunday, November 26th,
15:47Norfolk, Virginia at the Scope.
15:49This will be history.
15:51Like I said, you've never seen it before.
15:53Three rings, all the action taking place simultaneously,
15:56but it is going to come down to one man.
15:58One man is going to become the new world heavyweight champion.
16:02The question is, who will it be?
16:04Well, you're right about that, Bischoff.
16:06One man will become the new heavyweight champion of the world,
16:09and he's got to beat 59 other men.
16:12He's got to go through the creme de la creme here at WCW.
16:16What would you do for a million dollars,
16:19for millions of dollars, for fame and fortune,
16:21for a one-time opportunity?
16:25Believe me, people would stab their best friends in the back,
16:28and it's happened, and it's going to continue to happen right here.
16:31We've seen a lot of that.
16:33And look at this.
16:35Hillman goes airborne.
16:37Hillman goes airborne.
16:38He takes a big risk, and he comes down,
16:41and he gets a mouthful of iron guardrail for his effort.
16:45Eddie Guerrero knew what he was doing.
16:47Break out the dinkers.
16:48He's going to need some new teeth tonight, mama.
16:50Where's he going now?
16:52Guerrero!
16:54Oh, my goodness gracious, Guerrero.
16:59He is high-fiving the fans.
17:01Guerrero is 110% adrenaline right now
17:05as Guerrero beginning to dominate the action here against Hillman.
17:10Let me tell you what.
17:11When you don't get no respect coming into a match,
17:14that's going to fuel your adrenaline to get out there and really kick some butt.
17:18I promise you that.
17:20You know, I don't think his real name is Eddie Guerrero.
17:23I think it's Clark Kent.
17:24You saw him come out there top rope like Superman.
17:26Who would do a move like that?
17:28What a dangerous move.
17:30And you talk about dangerous.
17:31Just a reminder, coming up, we've still got Road Warrior hockey,
17:33but we're going to take a look last week at the injury
17:37to the arm of the macho man Randy Savage.
17:40The macho man Randy Savage, he is going to be chewing iron right now
17:44knowing that World War III is coming up, and he's got a bad wing.
17:48We're going to take a look at that injury.
17:51I don't want to take a look at that injury.
17:52No, I don't want to see that one.
17:54Eddie Guerrero might be parting his hair to go to the bathroom tomorrow after that one.
17:59Well, he's about to go airborne now
18:01because Brian Bryan has him set exactly where he wants him.
18:05Hillman has got four horsemen written all over his face.
18:08Don't let him get you up, Eddie.
18:10Guerrero could suplex him to the floor.
18:14He shoots him off.
18:15Guerrero aims, fires.
18:19He gets it.
18:21What a victory.
18:23What a victory for that young man.
18:25Where's Ric Flair? Where's our lady?
18:27Hey, yeah.
18:28Exactly, where are the four horsemen?
18:30Where's Chris Benoit, the Canadian crickler?
18:32I'll tell you where they are right now.
18:34They're on a jet that is all gassed up with hoodoos, girls, and champagne,
18:38and they are celebrating a victory that didn't happen.
18:42That didn't happen thanks to the hearts of Seoul
18:46and the fight of one Eddie Guerrero.
18:49My goodness.
18:50Flew off of there.
18:52Mr. Hillman's going to have some back problems tomorrow, folks.
18:55And I'll tell you what.
18:56Hector, Mondo, Chavo, they're all watching right now,
19:02and they are smiling.
19:04Well, I bet you there's 58 other human beings
19:06that are going to be in this battle royal.
19:08They're going to be watching.
19:09That man right there, Eddie Guerrero,
19:11as quick as he is and as smart as he is and as talented,
19:14could become the next heavyweight champion of the world.
19:17Up that top rope.
19:18Look at the extension.
19:19Look at the acceleration.
19:20Eddie Guerrero had his best.
19:22He must have used to been a cliff diver or something the way he did that.
19:26All right.
19:27Stay with us.
19:28When we come back, we're going to take a close-up look.
19:30The injury to the macho man, Randy Savage,
19:33did all of us implications.
19:35And don't forget, it's Hulk Hogan.
19:36He's staying in the main event right here on Nitro.
19:39Don't go away.
19:41Woo!
19:43♪♪
19:52Here on TNT.
19:54And right now I want to take you back.
19:56It was last week.
19:58The macho man, Randy Savage,
20:00suffering a severe injury to his arm.
20:04I'll tell you what, Bobby Mongo,
20:07this is an injury that could cost him,
20:09could cost him a shot at the world title coming up at World War III.
20:13Well, the thing's going to need surgery.
20:15There's no doubt about that.
20:16It's just, when is he going to do it?
20:18Well, it's very simple.
20:19You can't wrestle without arms.
20:21It's not over yet.
20:25And here comes the macho man.
20:27And this one is history.
20:30There you go.
20:31He got him.
20:32There you go.
20:33He got him.
20:34What is this?
20:35The shark.
20:36Shark is out.
20:37Shark attack.
20:38Shark is out.
20:42The shark is out.
20:44Something has to be done about these gang of goons.
20:47And Lex Luger.
20:49Luger's in there now.
20:51Lex Luger is going after his arm.
20:54Lex Luger trying to break the arm.
20:57Oh, no.
20:58Oh, no.
20:59Oh, no.
21:01They might do what people always have said.
21:03They might just rip his arm off and beat him with it.
21:06Lex Luger going after the arm.
21:08The total package.
21:10This is just unmitigated dismemberment here.
21:14The macho man, Randy Savage, who is still suffering from a rib injury
21:20that took place at Halloween Havoc.
21:23He's now getting his arm ripped off his body.
21:27And we have got to take the blame.
21:29I think I heard something break there.
21:31I heard more than something break.
21:34Like I said, the macho man, Randy Savage, suffering a severe arm injury.
21:38But I'm going to play devil's advocate here, Mongo, Bobby.
21:41What if, what if that injury isn't what we think it is?
21:47What if it's Macho Man that's planning an attack on Hulk Hogan at World War III?
21:54Don't ever forget what the Macho Man said when he appeared for the very first time in WCW.
22:00I've got an agenda.
22:01I want the world heavyweight title.
22:04Again, I'm playing devil's advocate here.
22:06He's been a world champion before.
22:08He knows how it feels.
22:09Don't think he doesn't want it again.
22:11And we've talked about all the agendas in the WCW.
22:14It is pure chaos around here.
22:16I'll tell you something else you've got to worry about.
22:18There's a man coming out of the woodwork, a big man, the one-man gang.
22:22And think of this.
22:24Lex Luger has not taken a match in a couple weeks.
22:27He's doing nothing but training.
22:30Lex Luger may be the dark horse.
22:32He may be the odds-on favorite to walk away.
22:35I still got to go with the giant.
22:36I've got one more for you.
22:38Don't forget, September 4th, 1995, when Lex Luger left the WWF
22:44in a shocker hit around the world, and he showed up in WCW.
22:48What if the same thing happens again at World War III?
22:53What if someone shows up that no one expects?
22:56Like who? You know something I don't know.
22:58You've got to tell me what you know.
22:59All I said is I'm playing devil's advocate.
23:01And right now, we have got Road Warrior Hawk.
23:03Because this has started, baby. Here we go.
23:05You know what? Hawk could walk out of that ring the winner.
23:08He likes a fight like that.
23:1060 minutes, nothing to him.
23:13No, I don't want to make it sound like I've always hung around the bad part of town,
23:16but I remember when I lived in Chicago for a little while on Rush Street,
23:19I used to watch Road Warrior Hawk get into it every once in a while.
23:24Tell me what you were talking about. You know something I don't know.
23:26Something's going down.
23:27Listen, all I'm saying is it's happened before.
23:29He's going for the big ride.
23:31Oh, it's happened before, and history could repeat itself at World War III.
23:36You mean somebody I don't know?
23:37You never know who is going to show up.
23:40So what you're trying to tell me is someone could show up at Dark Horse,
23:43walk right in, beat 59 other people, and walk out of there WCW heavyweight champion,
23:49unbeknownst to us, right?
23:50All I'm saying is that wrestlers from all over the world,
23:53from wrestling organizations from all over the world,
23:56are trying to converge upon WCW because this is where the big boys play,
24:01and you never know what is going to happen.
24:04I'm talking about this match right here.
24:06Big Bubba's reaching for something in his pocket.
24:08I just saw him pick it up.
24:09I don't know what he's into.
24:11What was it?
24:13I'm sure we're going to find out here in a minute.
24:17Well, my monitor is hazy.
24:19I can't really tell from my monitor.
24:21Well, put your glasses on, old man, or do we need to give you a rocking chair?
24:25Hey, do I have to slap the dentures out of your mouth?
24:28I wish somebody would jump up and give me some grief.
24:34Whatever it was that fell out of his pocket,
24:38Big Bubba has been uncorking right hands on Hawks ever since,
24:43and Bubba, he has got one massive right hand.
24:48Bubba's over 300 pounds.
24:49He's a big, big, tough man.
24:51Don't hit him in the head, Bubba.
24:52There's nothing in there that you can hurt.
24:55Irish rip.
24:56And now it's Road Warrior Hawk.
24:58He is trying to fight his way out of the bear hug.
25:00He does.
25:02Comes across, lays a forearm across the collar bone, and he's –
25:06Oh, my goodness.
25:08The Hawk is grounded.
25:11Tweak, tweak, Tweedy.
25:13He clipped his wings a little bit there, didn't he, darling?
25:15Some salt on his tail.
25:17Wow, was that close.
25:19That was close.
25:20And coming up even closer, the main event,
25:23Hulk Hogan and Sting,
25:25the match no one ever thought they would see.
25:29You're not seeing it on pay-per-view.
25:31You're seeing it right here on Monday Nitro Live on TNT.
25:36Ooh, the nice right hand.
25:38You know, I just had a thought.
25:39What happens if Hogan and Sting take out each other
25:43and they can't make it to World War III?
25:45That could happen here right tonight.
25:47I'll tell you what, from what I'm hearing in the back,
25:49Hogan and Sting are chomping at the bit,
25:51each of them standing right by their locker room door.
25:54They could come out here any time and start this thing.
25:57Whatever you do, do not leave.
26:00I'll tell you what, the hottest action going is going on right here on TNT.
26:05Why would they want to leave this?
26:07Look at this action.
26:08Both men down.
26:09Both men down.
26:12Hawks going upstairs.
26:14He's going to start flying.
26:15The Hawks fixing to fly.
26:17He's going to soar.
26:20Oh, yeah, he's going to be sore after that, all right.
26:23Well, Bubba set him up on that.
26:25Bubba got up slowly.
26:26He took his time.
26:27He got his wind back.
26:28Oh, wait a minute.
26:29He let the dummy get on top.
26:30Wait a minute.
26:31He must have a row of quarters there.
26:33No, he's taping up his fist.
26:35He's taping up his fist.
26:37Well, maybe he hurt his knuckles.
26:38You don't know.
26:39Yeah, that was fine in boxing when you've got a glove over it.
26:44And now they're telling me in the back, sting it hard.
26:47He landed on it.
26:48He hit himself in the head with that thing.
26:50That's because of Duggan.
26:51He's out cold.
26:52That's because of Duggan.
26:54That's right.
26:55Him and Duggan are going to have to take this match.
26:58Oh, that's Duggan's fault.
27:01That's Duggan's fault.
27:04Oh, way, way, way.
27:07Way, way, way.
27:10I tell you what.
27:11I'll tell you what.
27:13We are not far away now from the match that is going to go down in history.
27:19Hulk Hogan and Sting.
27:22The match you never thought you'd see is going to happen,
27:27and it's going to happen right here on TNC.
27:30Let's get another look at it.
27:31Look at Hawk here.
27:32He's got Big Bubba where he wants him.
27:34There's a 300-some pound man.
27:36Now, understand this, humanoid.
27:37These are two men, and they're fighting.
27:39There's Duggan interfering.
27:41Bubba goes down, hits himself in the face with whatever he had in that tape.
27:45You're looking at three men right here.
27:47What's going to happen when 57 other men get into those three rings at World War III
27:53and still to come, Hogan, Sting.
27:56This place is on fire.
27:58By the way, it's 58.
28:0058, 59, 57.
28:02Who does your test?
28:03Hey, you might be right about guys collaborating, baby.
28:06What is the Dungeon and Doom going to do when they all get in the ring at the same time
28:10and guys have got their own agenda outside of that?
28:13We are seconds away from the match that will go down in 1995
28:18as the hottest match on television.
28:20Hulk Hogan and Sting coming your way right after this.
28:23Don't leave.
28:34This is it.
28:37This is what we've been waiting for.
28:40There's not a butt in the seat.
28:42Everybody's standing.
28:43Here we go, baby.
28:45Let me tell you what, baby dolls.
28:47We've got a match here, Bobby the Great.
28:49And I'm not talking about the match of my face, your face.
28:54I just got that all wrong.
28:56Let's watch the match.
28:59Wow.
29:02Oh, look at this.
29:04Sting is wearing yellow.
29:06Sting is wearing red.
29:07This is the ultimate threat in the face of Hulk Hogan.
29:11Sting has an agenda.
29:13Hogan, you've got trouble.
29:15Big, big trouble.
29:17What is going on?
29:18I'll tell you what's going on here.
29:19Sting is trying to bring Hulk Hogan back to where he came from.
29:24He's trying to bring him back to center.
29:26But I am afraid.
29:27I am afraid of what we are going to see here tonight
29:30because I have seen a side of Hulk Hogan that I have never seen before,
29:35and I've been watching him a long time.
29:37This is going to be a match that will go down in history.
29:46This is war.
29:47This is going to be a war for sure.
29:50Stay with us.
29:51We will be back.
29:53I think he's just trying to weed out Brendan Bowe, baby.
29:58Shut up.
29:59I can't play.
30:00Oh, yeah.
30:01We've got to get back to this match.
30:04Here we go.
30:07What's going to happen now?
30:09Strap yourself into your chair.
30:13Discapacity crowd on their feet.
30:20Where is he?
30:22He'll be out.
30:24He'll be out.
30:25Wait a minute.
30:26He's a macho, and he's got his arm in a sling.
30:30That's the macho man, Randy Savage.
30:36More psychological warfare.
30:40I still can't believe that we are going to see Hulk Hogan and Sting hooking it up,
30:48live, Monday night show on TNT.
30:53Get on the phone right now.
30:54Call everybody you know.
30:55Have them tune in, because you may never see this again.
30:59Oh, what a match.
31:00And I was trying to elude you earlier.
31:02I ain't talking about the match that your face and my rear end are eating.
31:06I'm talking about a match people have never seen before.
31:10And there's Hogan.
31:11Hogan coming in.
31:13He's fighting his way through the crowd.
31:15And I told you.
31:17I told you this is something.
31:22He's got a mask on.
31:23Like the Phantom of WCW.
31:26Sting doesn't even know it.
31:28What is Hogan doing?
31:32Psychological warfare.
31:33That's what it is.
31:34There's so much at stake here in World War III.
31:36The heavyweight championship of the world.
31:38Reputation.
31:39There he is, my friend.
31:41Here we go.
31:42We are off and running.
31:45Let's see what you're made of.
31:47No, man.
31:48I can't believe it.
31:49Somebody.
31:50As much as I want to see this match.
31:52I've got to tell you.
31:53Deep down in my soul.
31:55I wish it would stop right now.
31:57I don't want to see these two pillars of what is so important to so many kids around the world.
32:05Go at it.
32:06Put that in action.
32:07That's what's going on right now live here on TNT.
32:11Come on, Sting.
32:12Come on, Sting.
32:13Kick his tail.
32:14Stay on him.
32:15Pound him.
32:16Pound him.
32:17Kick him.
32:18Now they're going out in the backyard and settling their family feud.
32:22A prelude to World War III.
32:25When there'll be 58 other men, including that 7-foot, 4-inch, 400-pound-plus monster of a human being.
32:35And all of these men from organizations from all over the world converging on Norfolk next Sunday
32:43to become the new world heavyweight champions.
32:47And two of the favorites in here now pummeling each other.
32:51Now look at the excitement.
32:52Look at the action going on right now.
32:54There's only two men in there.
32:56You get 58 more in there.
32:57You put the world's title on the line.
32:59You put them in three rings.
33:01And I guarantee you something.
33:03Careers will be made.
33:04Careers will be ended.
33:06Hogan will survive or he won't.
33:08Same for Sting.
33:10The least person you would ever think of could come out of there champion of the world.
33:15There will be a new champion.
33:17Well, you could be seeing the match right here, ladies and gentlemen.
33:20These could be the two left guys in the ring, and they would have to fight it out like this.
33:24Exactly.
33:26Michael, you hit it right out of the head.
33:28And there goes Hulk Hogan over the top rope.
33:30And the receiving end of a stinger dropkick.
33:33The stinger.
33:34He's got a vertical leap that half the guys in the NBA would like to have.
33:39So much power in his quads and his hamstrings.
33:43You see, this is all because of Kevin Sullivan.
33:45He has stirred all this.
33:47He has played in everybody's mind.
33:49He has taken the shoes of the biggest favorites in the world, Hogan and Sting,
33:54and turned them against each other.
33:56Kevin Sullivan, I'm going to take my hat off to you and Jimmy Hart.
34:00But I'll tell you what, this is all because of my guts.
34:04My guts are turning right now because I can tell you it was about a year and a half ago
34:11when I sat down when we were trying to get Hulk Hogan to sign with WCW.
34:17And Sting and Hulk were such close friends.
34:20Sting is a big part of the reason that Hulk Hogan came to WCW,
34:24because of the way they bonded.
34:26And now look at them.
34:27They're bonding, but with their fists and their feet and forearms and a rake in the back.
34:33And I never thought I would see the day.
34:35I've got to tell you, gentlemen, I never thought I would see the day.
34:39One, two.
34:42Take some Pepto and go home and go to bed.
34:46I like this.
34:48Just as long as they don't get nasty.
34:49I've got an older brother, and we used to settle some differences like this.
34:53And we still love each other.
34:56Yeah, but he's nine.
35:01This is Hulk Hogan.
35:02This is Sting.
35:04This is two men that know.
35:06Go behind by Hulk Hogan into a hammerlock.
35:08Reverse by Sting.
35:10You don't think about it, Bishop.
35:12Drop toe hold takedown by the holster.
35:15The two biggest stars in our sport we're seeing right now.
35:20Lean on him, brother.
35:21We'll find out what he's all about.
35:23Did you hear it?
35:24Did you hear it?
35:25Is he with us or against us?
35:26As the macho said, lean on him, brother.
35:28Find out what it's all about.
35:30I want to know what is going through the twisted, warped mind of the macho man,
35:33Randy Savage, a man who lives on the edge 99.9% of the time.
35:38Where's his head really at?
35:41Well, Savage hasn't been to bed since 1963.
35:44He's been pacing.
35:45He's been walking.
35:46All he's been thinking about is winning, making money, becoming champion,
35:50and doing the best he can for himself.
35:52And Hogan is in deep, deep trouble because everyone in that battle royal
35:57at World War III was going to be out there to do a number on Hogan.
36:02I know how these things happen.
36:03I've been in battle royals.
36:04He's going to be the one they pick on.
36:06Let me tell you, these guys better weed out who's friend and foe
36:09because like I said earlier, that dungeon of doom is all going to be in there
36:13and they're going to be together, baby.
36:15So these guys better have some backup other than nobody standing behind them.
36:19But you never know what the dungeon will do.
36:21They could turn on each other at any given time and enjoy it.
36:24They're sick people.
36:25It doesn't really matter.
36:27This is for the championship of the world.
36:2960 of the top stars in the world.
36:31World War III will be nothing like this.
36:34I've never seen anything like this before.
36:37Hogan into a side headlock.
36:39Hogan putting the pressure on.
36:41If you notice, he's got the bone of the inside of the forearm
36:44right across the earlobe, right across the jaw, working his way down.
36:49Looking for that carotid artery.
36:51He's going to try to put the stinger out.
36:53He is putting those pythons around the neck of the stinger.
36:56He is not pulling any punches.
36:58He is trying to put the stinger out with the inside headlock.
37:01But can you imagine this?
37:03Less than one week away from World War III,
37:06they're engaged in a match like this.
37:08It's going to take a lot of effort.
37:10It's going to take them, I would say, 14 to 20 days
37:12to recoup from something like this.
37:14Two, and they're still going to go out there
37:16and get in a three-ring battle royal.
37:18They're not going to be ready.
37:19They're going to be wounded.
37:20Two, this was going back and forth.
37:22Both men now on the receiving ends of two counts.
37:25And you've got to wonder, Lex Luger,
37:27he's nowhere to be seen.
37:28The Giant, nowhere to be seen.
37:30These two guys are wrestling up
37:32along with wrestlers all over the world
37:34who are chopping at the bit,
37:36getting their visas, finding their passports,
37:38and making their plane reservations
37:40to make their way to World War III,
37:42who is going to become
37:44the new world heavyweight champion at World War III.
37:48I know what Hogan's doing.
37:50He's trying to squeeze the poison right out of that scorpion.
37:52And you're right about that.
37:54There will be a new world champion.
37:56They're coming in ripsaws.
37:58They're coming in blimps, jets, buses, trains.
38:01This is the big one.
38:02Look at the bear hug on him.
38:04Look at the power of Hulk Hogan
38:06as he wraps those massive arms around Sting.
38:09And I'll tell you what,
38:10a lot of people don't realize it.
38:12We don't talk about a reach advantage
38:13that often in wrestling.
38:15But Hulk Hogan has not only got those 24-inch pipe arms,
38:18he can reach halfway around the ring with them.
38:21And he did with Sting,
38:22and he just squeezed all the life out of the Stinger
38:25and put it to the midsection on top of him.
38:28Come on, Sting.
38:30Start knocking him around.
38:32I'm for you.
38:33I've always been in your corner.
38:35Elbow to the top of the head.
38:37Hogan covers, one, two,
38:39and a kickout by the Stinger.
38:43You know, even a cover is not going to settle this.
38:45There's something seriously wrong going on in Hogan's life.
38:49All right, stay with us.
38:51If you were over with the other guys,
38:53you've been watching commercials,
38:54this is where the action is.
38:55Two count.
38:56And this is where the action is going to stay,
38:59right here on Monday Nitro, TNT.
39:03As we get ready, the countdown to World War II
39:06begins right here.
39:08Two of the biggest names in our sport today
39:11going head to head.
39:13And a two count again by Hogan.
39:15You know something, Bishop?
39:16These are the two biggest names in our sport.
39:20I mean, the fans love these two, right?
39:22I guess the fans aren't that bright.
39:24And the third biggest name standing outside of the ring
39:26with a bad arm, Lex Luger.
39:29Who knows where he is?
39:31Macho man out there on the floor just watching.
39:33He's going to get involved.
39:35Who knows where the giant is?
39:36Now the Stinger's coming back.
39:37I knew there was going to be some dance after this.
39:40You know what he's doing right now.
39:41He's going to work on Hogan.
39:42He's getting ready for that Scorpion Death Lock.
39:45And the Stinger, we saw him.
39:47We saw him lock it on to Ric Flair a couple of weeks ago.
39:52And the only person that could get it off was Lex Luger.
39:57Happy trails.
39:58And he's rocking out of it.
40:00And listen, throw it over that rope, Hogan.
40:03Throw it over.
40:04Listen to Hogan.
40:06Look, he's trying to power out of it.
40:10He gets out of it.
40:11Look at the power of that man.
40:13Nobody's ever broken that Scorpion Death Lock.
40:15I've never seen.
40:16Unbelievable.
40:19And Hulk Hogan digs down like he has so many times before.
40:26The pounding, the pummeling, that is nothing more than an inspiration
40:32to this man who has dominated the sport for so many years.
40:37Boy, it has got to be inside that man's soul to drive him like that.
40:42Come on, Sting.
40:45Irish whip.
40:47And here it comes.
40:49This match belongs to Hulk Hogan.
40:54It is over.
40:56It's not over.
40:57It's not over.
40:58What a match.
40:59What a match.
41:01He hurt his leg.
41:04He hurt his leg, and he's going for it again.
41:07Oh, no.
41:08He's going for it again.
41:11Don't give up.
41:12Don't give up.
41:13Don't give up.
41:14Help me.
41:15Don't give up.
41:16Power up.
41:17Power up.
41:18Power up.
41:19What is this?
41:20What is this?
41:21Get those dudes out of here.
41:22Hogan said he couldn't take it, and then the Dutch and his dude came out.
41:29And look at this.
41:30Look at this.
41:31Look at this.
41:32Look at this.
41:33Look at this.
41:34Take it.
41:35And then the Dutch and his dude came out.
41:39And look at Sting.
41:41Sting.
41:42He's fighting them all.
41:44Hogan.
41:45And now they're defending themselves.
41:48They're defending each other.
41:50Now, what does this tell you?
41:51This is the first time the Dutch and his dude have laid a hand on Sting.
41:55And now they're working on Hogan.
41:56Look at this, ladies and gentlemen.
41:58Here's Sting.
41:59Oh, no.
42:00No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
42:03Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
42:06Get the security guards out.
42:08Where are they?
42:12Oh, my goodness.
42:14Double your pleasure.
42:15Double your fun.
42:16He's got them all in his throat.
42:18Drown him with it.
42:21What a cheap shot by Savage.
42:25As a giant was about to chokeslam both Hulk Hogan and Sting,
42:29the Macho Man.
42:30Going for the big ride.
42:34Remember, Savage only has one arm.
42:37We are six days away from war.
42:41They're about to leave.
42:42Hogan and Sting are about to drown him clean, all right.
42:45Now they're working together as a team.
42:51And they take this monster.
42:54And they give him a face.
42:56He's got a smile on his face.
42:59He's trying to get back into the ring.
43:02We'll be right back.
43:03He's trying to get back into the ring.
43:05Pandemonium.
43:06You need to get him out of here.
43:09Get him out of here now.
43:11Go away.
43:13I don't know about you guys.
43:16You need to be out of here.
43:18Be out of here.
43:20You need to be out of here now, both of you.
43:22Security, security, get up here.
43:25I apologize.
43:29I apologize.
43:31You better get that thing out of my face.
43:35You better get that megaphone out of my face.
43:40We are six days away from World War III.
43:45What you saw here is an appetizer.
43:48The main course coming your way on pay-per-view.
43:52He is a psycho.
43:57You know, them three standing right over there, my little dog has got as much brain matter.
44:01Let me tell you something.
44:02If they like me, what do you think they're going to do in World War III?
44:06What do you think they're going to do when they get their hands on the likes of Hogan, Sting, Savage, everybody else?
44:13I'll tell you what.
44:14Anybody that thinks that they can predict what's happening at WCW is twisted.
44:19We saw Hulk Hogan.
44:21We saw Sting battling it out.
44:22Dungeon of Doom comes out.
44:24Then it's Sting and Hogan fighting off the entire Dungeon of Doom.
44:28Who is going to be the new world champion next Sunday?
44:32Let me tell you what, folks.
44:33What you just saw in that ring between Sting and Hogan and in the Dungeon of Doom, that's just a taste of what you're going to get.
44:39That was just one ring with just a few guys in it.
44:42I'm sorry.
44:43We've run over.
44:44I apologize.
44:45Thank you for joining us.
44:46We'll see you next week right here on Nitro.
44:48We'll see you World War III.
44:51So they're your friends, huh?
44:52Totally.
44:53On pay-per-view.
44:54I need insurance.
