00:00:00You are looking live as WCW Monday Nitro comes to you tonight from the home

00:00:06of the World Champion Chicago Bulls, the home of the Chicago Blackhawks.

00:00:12Tonight, it comes to you from Chicago in the United Center.

00:00:20Welcome to our number one of professional wrestling's number one program.

00:00:25Welcome to WCW Monday Nitro.

00:00:29It is sold out.

00:00:30They are packed to the rafters, not a seat to be found.

00:00:34As we come to you from the Windy City, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zabriskie.

00:00:39You know, I was born here.

00:00:42Wait a minute.

00:00:44That's Savage.

00:00:47The macho man, Randy Savage.

00:00:49And he's, around the ring, he's got a chair for crying out loud.

00:01:00Where did he come, was he in the stands?

00:01:03Tony, I'm speechless.

00:01:07This is incredible.

00:01:10He hasn't been around here since Halloween Havoc.

00:01:16Here's the deal.

00:01:21I've been blackballed.

00:01:25And I'm not leaving here tonight until I talk to somebody

00:01:30that's got some major stroke.

00:01:34Nitro is a two-hour show.

00:01:38I've got no plans.

00:01:40I'm planning to stay here all night.

00:01:47And one other thing.

00:01:50I got a message for my ex-WCW boss, Eric Bischoff.

00:02:00You can kiss my ass.

00:02:03I don't know if he can say that on TV.

00:02:06I think it's come and gone.

00:02:09He's not going anywhere.

00:02:13This is going to be interesting, Tony.

00:02:16You know how Savage is.

00:02:17He's stubborn.

00:02:18He says something.

00:02:19He's going to do it.

00:02:19He's sitting there.

00:02:22And I'm going to watch.

00:02:33This is a little odd.

00:02:34We have, let's see, our first match, Chavo Guerrero Jr. Max.

00:02:41That's scheduled to go here any time.

00:02:45Well, he's not moving.

00:02:46So what do we do now?

00:02:48See, I watch.

00:02:51And we let the upper echelon worry about this.

00:02:54Good plan.

00:02:54I'm waiting.

00:02:57This is not my department.

00:02:58I don't know who's going to come out.

00:02:59I don't know if there's executive committee here.

00:03:04I'll tell you something, Macho Man.

00:03:05He's got guts.

00:03:06He's still standing his ground.

00:03:09This is, this certainly is the most incredible way

00:03:13I've ever seen open a program.

00:03:14And here he can.

00:03:18I thought he was in a monastery somewhere.

00:03:21OK, we are going to attempt to start this first match here.

00:03:25The Macho Man is, as you can see,

00:03:27he's still sitting there.

00:03:28Came out of the stands to open up this program.

00:03:30He has not moved.

00:03:32He says he will not go anywhere until someone with some stroke comes out.

00:03:35And the plan, I guess I understand from director Craig Leathers,

00:03:39we're going to attempt to start this match up.

00:03:42And maybe a level head will prevail.

00:03:44Is there anybody here with stroke?

00:03:47Don't look at me.

00:03:48I'm under fire.

00:03:51The opening bound is, well, there you, I don't know what to think of this.

00:03:54There you see a referee.

00:03:56He's unsure as well.

00:03:57Well, it's going to be hard to wrestle with Savage

00:03:59sitting in the middle of the ring.

00:04:00I'll tell you that.

00:04:06Now Chavo Jr. sees him.

00:04:08He doesn't know what to make of it.

00:04:12And the Macho Man is going nowhere.

00:04:14Yeah, he's not going anywhere.

00:04:15Of course, guys like Chavo Jr., this is big time for him.

00:04:21If you just tuned in, the Macho Man, as we began the program tonight,

00:04:25came out of the stands, said he was going nowhere.

00:04:28And there's a very unsure Chavo Guerrero Jr. here.

00:04:32Well, you got a confused young guy who wants to get rich and famous.

00:04:35It's his turn to wrestle.

00:04:36He and Max in the opening bout here.

00:04:38Macho's not moving.

00:04:42Good for him.

00:04:42I like a man with grit.

00:04:45I think you got one there.

00:04:49I'm not saying he's all that stable mentally, but he's got grit.

00:04:55So what's Chavo going to do here?

00:04:56I mean, someone's got to do something.

00:05:00We got a program.

00:05:02We got a two-hour program, and something's got to happen here.

00:05:12He's trying to reason with him, and I think that's probably the best thing

00:05:15to do, is you can reason with him.

00:05:17Well, it looks like, I mean, I'm not exactly a lip reader,

00:05:19but it looks like he's trying to say, this is an opportunity for me.

00:05:23Of course.

00:05:23I don't think Macho cares.

00:05:26Buddy, he's going nowhere.

00:05:28He already said the A word.

00:05:31Yeah, he sure did.

00:05:35This is very awkward for us fans, and I apologize for this.

00:05:42The Macho Man has not been a part of WCW, and has not been in WCW.

00:05:47Basically, after Slim Jim's Halloween Havoc, we didn't see any more of him.

00:05:51I heard he was in psychotherapy with the monks in Tibet or something.

00:05:54I don't know where he was.

00:05:59I know where he is now.

00:06:00He is engineering a one-man sit-in, and not budging.

00:06:08And a little bit more, Chavo's getting a little bit more animated here now.

00:06:14In other words, I think he's getting a little bit angrier now.

00:06:17Well, Chavo should basically be talking to the referees.

00:06:20It's the referee's job to-

00:06:21Look, he's not even paying attention.

00:06:23What are we going to do?

00:06:24Does anybody here have stroke?

00:06:26Who's here tonight?

00:06:28Well, there's always some members of the executive committee.

00:06:31There's a championship committee in the back, and-

00:06:35So, in other words, you've got about five guys with suits running around in mass pandemonium back there.

00:06:39Well, I'm sure there's some sort of discussions going on.

00:06:41You remember last week when they were all in New Orleans.

00:06:45But this is unlike that situation.

00:06:52The only thing we can do, fans, I'm sorry, is just-

00:06:54Oh, I guess he's going to leave now.

00:06:56Okay.

00:06:57Well, Chavo did a heck of a job convincing him that, you know, we've got to get a program underway.

00:07:02There's times-

00:07:07He jacked his jaw that time, and apparently it's going to take a little bit more persuasion,

00:07:13and this is not the guy that has the stroke.

00:07:17There you go.

00:07:18Well, I told you Savage is not, you know, mentally a stable individual.

00:07:23He's got guts.

00:07:24But, uh, caught Chavo off guard.

00:07:27He still isn't budging.

00:07:28Yeah, here comes Max.

00:07:29Here comes Max.

00:07:30Now, Max, as we said, Max and Chavo Jr., the opening bat, I don't-

00:07:36Max is a big, strong, tough guy in the Dungeon of Doom, but, hey, leave this guy alone.

00:07:42I think-

00:07:43I don't know if anybody can hear me in the back locker room area, but someone's got to come out here.

00:07:50I'm sure they got to drift in the back by now.

00:07:52And talk to him so we can get this program started.

00:07:56Now, what's he jaw-boning about?

00:08:02Again, a guy like Max is complaining, and Macho Man could have stolen a victory out of this guy's record book.

00:08:10Ah, it's going to take more than Max, too.

00:08:12Well, we're at our wit's end here.

00:08:14You're at your wit's end.

00:08:16No, this program is.

00:08:18Oh!

00:08:20Macho Man pounding on Max!

00:08:25There's no reasoning with Savage!

00:08:27None at all.

00:08:29Oh, my-

00:08:35Again, going nowhere.

00:08:39Well, you can- The guys with the suits aren't going to come out now.

00:08:43I think they need to. I think something-

00:08:51He hit the- He's slapping the referee around!

00:08:54He's been laying around Rodman too much!

00:08:58Now, Doug Dellinger, the head of security, comes out, and I think, finally, maybe we're going to get some order restored here.

00:09:06Oh, my goodness!

00:09:10Hey, Doug's an old guy.

00:09:13It doesn't matter who it is.

00:09:15This program is not going to start until the Macho Man is satisfied.

00:09:20This is unprecedented.

00:09:22There's Alex Ryder to wrestle later on tonight.

00:09:28In the program, he's got a chair, and he's daring anybody.

00:09:36I can tell you, pretty soon now, we're going to get some cops out here, and we'll start this thing.

00:09:42Well, I'm waiting.

00:09:43I mean, in this program, Dean Malenko, the Ultimate Dragon,

00:09:47or Steven Regal to defend the television title.

00:09:49We've got Taskmaster and Chris Benoit.

00:09:52That's a big show if it ever gets going!

00:09:55Steiner Brothers are out. The Amazing French Canadians are out.

00:10:02It's going to take either a mass physical effort to get this show going here,

00:10:08or some sort of police authority.

00:10:11Something's going to have to happen.

00:10:12Something's going to have to happen.

00:10:15You get out of here!

00:10:18Say it in English or French, Savage is not getting out.

00:10:22But what do we have here?

00:10:24What the heck?

00:10:25That sting!

00:10:27From the top of the United Center!

00:10:30Where's he coming from?

00:10:34He is right here at us!

00:10:36It's like the fly!

00:10:39It's like the phantom!

00:10:42And Sting!

00:10:44Casually walking slowly towards the ring!

00:10:49What an incredible scene we have!

00:10:53He's got the back leg!

00:10:54Oh my God!

00:10:55And we know where his alliances are!

00:10:58He's with the New World Order!

00:11:00And I don't care what anybody says!

00:11:04Savage has the chair.

00:11:06Look at how the seat parts when Sting

00:11:09Walk towards the ring pointing right at Savage!

00:11:21He's going!

00:11:22He's going up!

00:11:25Savage is in Budgeon!

00:11:39I would sit there!

00:11:43Savage awfully brave here with that man with the baseball bat!

00:11:46Think of all the guys he has attacked from behind here!

00:11:58We're going to have a special main event right now!

00:12:01Apparently so!

00:12:05Uh oh!

00:12:06Savage is going to snap!

00:12:09Savage realizes what the man is wielding here!

00:12:30Boy, talk about a game of chess!

00:12:33I don't know who's doing what!

00:12:36Gave him the bat!

00:12:37Wouldn't take it!

00:12:40Sting!

00:12:51Tony, look at me!

00:12:53Now they're leaving through the fans here!

00:12:55You know, you said it was apparent last week

00:12:58And it's been apparent that Sting is a member of the NWO

00:13:01What does this mean?

00:13:02Is he walking out with the NWO?

00:13:05Is he turning his back on WCW?

00:13:07I'm completely befuddled!

00:13:09What in the hell is going on?

00:13:11He said the H word!

00:13:17Welcome back fans to Chicago and WCW Monday Nitro Live

00:13:21A few weeks ago, when the NWO took over our broadcast location

00:13:25With Paulie and The Action

00:13:26They welcomed in a brand new member

00:13:29An international member to the New World Order

00:13:31Here's how it happened at that time

00:13:36I'll take a look at this t-shirt here

00:13:38New Japan Pro Wrestling

00:13:40Very nice, that's a very snappy looking t-shirt also

00:13:44What is this?

00:13:45Hey, what's this?

00:13:49Yes!

00:13:50Surprise! Surprise!

00:13:52What in the world is the meaning of this?

00:13:53You talk about a bombshell!

00:13:54Were you aware of this?

00:13:57What'd he say?

00:13:58What did he say?

00:14:04What did he just say?

00:14:07No, no, in English you idiot!

00:14:09He says something about

00:14:11He goes

00:14:12NWO!

00:14:13Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute

00:14:14Mr. Toronto, please, not here

00:14:16Don't do that

00:14:17No!

00:14:18No!

00:14:19He's got his shorts!

00:14:23Please!

00:14:24Yes!

00:14:25Yes!

00:14:26Yes!

00:14:28Yes!

00:14:30Masahiro Chono went on to wrestle Chris Jericho that night

00:14:34Jericho was tied up in the ropes

00:14:36He did not relent

00:14:38And was eventually Larry disqualified

00:14:41But Chono, one of the newest members of the New World Order

00:14:44And it shows you how vicious these guys will go

00:14:47Sonny Ono didn't even realize

00:14:49Chono was bought by DiBiase

00:14:52Until after the fact

00:14:55Boy, Chono, this guy knows how to hurt people, Tony

00:14:58Many different ways he can do it

00:15:00And ladies and gentlemen, at NWO Sold Out

00:15:02Coming up at the end of the week this Saturday

00:15:04Chono and Chris Jericho in a return match

00:15:07It's got to be very tough for Chris Jericho as well

00:15:10The bell sounds and here we go

00:15:11It's going to be Alex Wright and Chris Jericho

00:15:13As we are now live here at the United Center here in Chicago

00:15:17With so much happening at the beginning of the program

00:15:19I didn't have a chance to tell you what we have coming up

00:15:22In this telecast later on tonight

00:15:24We're going to have members of Harlem H.T.V. Ray

00:15:26Against Lex Luger

00:15:27Booker T. against Rick Steiner

00:15:29In our number two

00:15:30Hacksaw Jim Duggan will be here

00:15:32And Taskmaster Kevin Sullivan

00:15:34In a little preview of a

00:15:36Pinfalls Count Anywhere match

00:15:38They're going to have tomorrow night

00:15:39We'll face Chris Benoit

00:15:41Here in our number two

00:15:42Later on in this telecast

00:15:44It's a big show

00:15:45I still want to know what's going on with Savage and Sting

00:15:48What was he talking about being blackballed?

00:15:51The only thing I can think of is that

00:15:53Our fans who watched WCW Saturday night this past weekend

00:15:56Saw the interview that Eric Bischoff conducted

00:15:59Where I've said it before

00:16:00Where Eric was running amok

00:16:04But Eric's, you know

00:16:06And I've known from talking to Eric in the office

00:16:08That he's not going to give the macho

00:16:10He's basically blackballed the macho man

00:16:12He said he'll never wrestle in WCW

00:16:14We'll not give him a contract

00:16:15Bischoff won't

00:16:17He won't sign him

00:16:20There's a cover, one, two

00:16:21Now it makes sense

00:16:23Well, if you saw WCW Saturday night

00:16:25If you didn't, we're going to show you

00:16:27That interview with Eric Bischoff

00:16:29A little bit later on in this telecast

00:16:32And maybe, if we can draw a little correlation here

00:16:34That's his response to not only the interview

00:16:36But some of the things Bischoff has been saying

00:16:38About the macho man

00:16:40When the NWO has come out here

00:16:41And taken over this broadcast

00:16:44Now it becomes clear

00:16:46There's an elbow drop at the back

00:16:47You know, I mean, it goes

00:16:49It's a very, very deep issue here

00:16:51And it goes further

00:16:52There's a forearm shot

00:16:54The macho man last was seen

00:16:56At Slim Jim's Halloween Havoc in October

00:16:59And I guess since then

00:17:02Oh, there's a back elbow

00:17:03Since that time, as you said

00:17:05Blackballed

00:17:07Well, I didn't know

00:17:08I just heard him say it tonight

00:17:10Side of the head

00:17:11I thought he was going to get his head straightened out

00:17:13Chris Jericho

00:17:15A lot of politics going on

00:17:17Especially when you've got a man like Eric Bischoff

00:17:19Looking out for the NWO first and foremost

00:17:22One, two, two

00:17:23One, two the other way

00:17:25Jericho tries to roll through that time

00:17:28You know, there's always been a lot of intrigue

00:17:30In professional wrestling politics

00:17:32Forward roll

00:17:33One, two, three

00:17:36Jericho gets the forward roll

00:17:38And gets the win

00:17:40Professional wrestling promoters

00:17:42Never were the type of men

00:17:44That could run for post

00:17:47But this Bischoff there

00:17:49Has crossed way over the line

00:17:52Nevertheless, Chris Jericho gets the win

00:17:55And we'll have more live Nitro

00:17:57From the United Center after this

00:18:06Welcome back to WCW Monday Nitro

00:18:09Tony Schiavone, Larry Zabisko

00:18:11Here in our number one

00:18:12And already

00:18:13There's enough

00:18:15Intrigue

00:18:16To talk about for years

00:18:18Apparently

00:18:19With the Macho Man

00:18:20If you just joined us

00:18:21The Macho Man

00:18:22Randy Savage

00:18:23Returned

00:18:26And

00:18:27Don't worry boss

00:18:28I'll take care of this one for you

00:18:32Well I was going to say

00:18:33Sting came from the rafters here

00:18:36Went into the ring

00:18:38And I guess

00:18:39In his own way

00:18:40Coaxed the Macho Man to leave

00:18:41And as I start to talk about Sting

00:18:42Here comes this bogus Sting

00:18:44Walking down the aisleway here

00:18:46You know Tony

00:18:47I love the human game of chess

00:18:48And I'm pondering the moves made by

00:18:50Sting after he came down

00:18:52Like a spider from nowhere

00:18:54Hopped in the ring

00:18:55But he handed Macho Man the bat

00:18:56And turned his back

00:18:58I don't understand that

00:18:59Smack, smack, smack, smack

00:19:01I'm gonna be all over you

00:19:02I'm gonna be all over you

00:19:03Love is you

00:19:04I'm gonna be good enough

00:19:06NWO's Sting

00:19:08Will face Scotty Riggs

00:19:09In this next matchup

00:19:10Scotty Riggs

00:19:11Will go into the lion's den

00:19:13So to speak

00:19:14At the NWO

00:19:15Sold at pay-per-view

00:19:17Coming up this Saturday

00:19:18As he will meet his

00:19:19His partner

00:19:20Former partner

00:19:21Brock Bagwell

00:19:22Now a member of the New World Order

00:19:24You know Bagwell

00:19:25He was the first defector

00:19:27Into the New World Order

00:19:29And of course

00:19:30Stabbed Riggs right in the back

00:19:32And I don't blame Scott Riggs

00:19:33For wanting revenge

00:19:35Revenge is a sweet thing

00:19:37Once you get it

00:19:38Within this first hour

00:19:39Fans, the Nature Boy

00:19:40Ric Flair

00:19:41We will see him

00:19:43And we'll be hearing

00:19:44From the Nature Boy

00:19:45A little bit later on

00:19:46Also Steve Mongo McMichael

00:19:48Returns to the Windy City

00:19:50Where he made his notoriety

00:19:52Where he made his name

00:19:53In this sport

00:19:54In football that is

00:19:56Of course a member

00:19:57Of the Chicago Bears

00:19:58With a tremendous team

00:19:59That won the Super Bowl

00:20:01There's a big article

00:20:02On Steve McMichael

00:20:03And his wife Debra

00:20:04In one of the local papers here

00:20:07How much of a superstar

00:20:08He has been

00:20:09He'll be coming out

00:20:11A little bit later on

00:20:12In tag team action

00:20:13Here on this program

00:20:14Yeah with Arne Anderson

00:20:15And you can see the frustration

00:20:16That Riggs has

00:20:17For the New World Order

00:20:18After what Bagwell did to him

00:20:20He didn't waste any

00:20:21I don't even want to

00:20:22Say this guy is

00:20:24Sting

00:20:25You can't call him sting

00:20:26No you can't

00:20:27I'm just calling him

00:20:28The NWO sting

00:20:29Or the bogus sting

00:20:30How about stink

00:20:31It's much shorter

00:20:32That sounds good to me

00:20:33Side of the head

00:20:34And you're talking

00:20:35About frustration

00:20:36You see the frustration

00:20:37On the face of Scotty Riggs

00:20:38And the way he approaches

00:20:39The match

00:20:40You saw it

00:20:41And heard it

00:20:42From the macho man

00:20:43Randy Savage

00:20:44It's these mind games

00:20:45That the NWO has been playing

00:20:46Starting at the top

00:20:47With Eric Kischoff

00:20:48And fans

00:20:49We're going to show you

00:20:50The interview

00:20:51If you missed it

00:20:52On WCW Saturday night

00:20:53That he conducted

00:20:54In his ego

00:20:55And power run amuck

00:20:56Is what it is

00:20:57And a man who has

00:20:58Blackballed the macho man

00:20:59And says

00:21:00And I've heard it

00:21:01Not only on TV

00:21:02And he's telecast here

00:21:03But in the office

00:21:04That he's never going

00:21:05To sign a contract

00:21:06To allow him back

00:21:07Into WCW

00:21:08So

00:21:09Well I can understand

00:21:10Macho man's frustration too

00:21:11But still

00:21:12I don't understand

00:21:13What Sting's doing

00:21:14And until

00:21:15Eric realizes

00:21:16I think what the

00:21:17Macho man means

00:21:18To the sport

00:21:19We're going to continue

00:21:20To have things like this

00:21:21Here's a cover

00:21:22One

00:21:23Interruptions

00:21:24Unexpected occurrences

00:21:25People just try to

00:21:26Take over a program

00:21:27And apparently

00:21:28The macho man and Sting

00:21:29Have gone

00:21:30They have apparently

00:21:31Left this arena

00:21:32For a while

00:21:33And now

00:21:34They're back

00:21:35They have apparently

00:21:36Left this arena

00:21:37I have no idea

00:21:38If he's going to go

00:21:39With the NWO

00:21:40What's going on

00:21:41Well right there

00:21:42Sting ran into

00:21:43The soul of Riggs

00:21:44And Riggs

00:21:45Good athlete

00:21:46I don't know much

00:21:47About the NWO version

00:21:48He just got nailed

00:21:49Missile drop kick

00:21:50From the middle

00:21:51Turnbuckle

00:21:52Scotty Riggs

00:21:53Lateral press

00:21:54He pulled away

00:21:55From it

00:21:56What's he looking

00:21:57At here

00:21:58Something I can't see

00:21:59From here

00:22:00He's pointing

00:22:01It's

00:22:02Buff

00:22:03Buff

00:22:04Buffy Bagwell

00:22:05He's too fat

00:22:06And I'm

00:22:07Oh

00:22:08Fuck him

00:22:09Oh he's buffed

00:22:10Okay

00:22:11I get it

00:22:12Watch out

00:22:13Riggs saw him coming

00:22:14Riggs

00:22:15A little intuition there

00:22:16And he got him

00:22:17There's a forearm shot

00:22:18Is Bagwell coming down

00:22:19Here it comes

00:22:20He flew in

00:22:21Oh Bagwell

00:22:22And other members

00:22:23Of the NWO

00:22:24Gets it

00:22:25Oh

00:32:13He's doing it again.

00:32:18I saw you with

00:32:23we're all

00:32:29gonna die.

00:32:36I saw you with

00:32:41we're all gonna die.

00:32:47All right, Ric Flair, you've had an opportunity over the past couple of weeks

00:32:50to sit by and take a look at what's going on.

00:32:52Your assessment of the four horsemen as they stand here tonight.

00:32:56Me, Gene, in a city that we should be tearing down tonight.

00:33:02I've got to tell it like it is.

00:33:07Nature Boy is on the men.

00:33:13And putting his body back together so

00:33:18he can be a real life fighting horseman.

00:33:23But each week, I gotta tell you, Gene.

00:33:29I look at what's going on.

00:33:31I look at Mongo and Debra.

00:33:34I look at Christopher and woman, oh woman, won't you marry me now?

00:33:37And then I look in the eyes of the enforcer.

00:33:44And I get up here like I am, not quite as big as he is.

00:33:49But knowing that when I'm with him, I can walk anywhere.

00:33:52I'm gonna tell you right now,

00:33:54the horsemen are not the unit they've been in the past.

00:34:00Wow, wait a minute here, Ric Flair.

00:34:03Let me clarify that.

00:34:05When I'm with Arn Anderson and I'm with the old gang,

00:34:10I know that we take care of business before we start knocking the women down.

00:34:15It's been all turned around lately.

00:34:18So let me make a suggestion.

00:34:20Christopher, Mongo, let's be horsemen first.

00:34:27And then go downtown.

00:34:30This is a man's game.

00:34:32And in the world of professional sports,

00:34:35this is the greatest thing you could ever aspire to be.

00:34:39You honor it.

00:34:40You cherish it.

00:34:42If you are asked to be a horseman, you're at the pinnacle of your career.

00:34:46When I was down, you held it together.

00:34:48When you were down, I held it together.

00:34:51The fact is, the horseman will endure as long as the names Flair and

00:34:57Anderson are a part of it.

00:34:59All right, Steve Mongo, McMichael, welcome home.

00:35:02Give me this mic.

00:35:03Chicago, Mongo's home.

00:35:07You know I've been a Super Bowl champion here.

00:35:14You're all stars.

00:35:15And let me tell you one thing, you two.

00:35:18I'm proud to be a horseman, baby.

00:35:20So that's that.

00:35:22And this is this.

00:35:24That's right, Gene.

00:35:25I was your Mrs. Illinois.

00:35:28And I know what it takes to be a winner.

00:35:31And I'll tell you one thing, what they were doing to Jeff Jarrett

00:35:35is not what winners do.

00:35:38Thank you very much, Chris, Benoit, and woman.

00:35:41There's no fact.

00:35:43It's a fact, Mongo, that you are a winner when it comes to football.

00:35:51Debra, you are a winner when it comes to beauty pageants.

00:35:56You're standing here with four other winners in pro wrestling.

00:36:01This is pro wrestling.

00:36:03Let's keep things in perspective.

00:36:06Well, brother, the fact is we were up in that ring

00:36:10and had Jarrett down and out,

00:36:12unlike the last two times you wrestled him.

00:36:15Thank you very much, gentlemen and ladies.

00:36:17I appreciate it.

00:36:19I see even some divisiveness here, maybe on three sides,

00:36:22in regards to the horseman.

00:36:24Yes, Debra.

00:36:25I don't mean to say anything,

00:36:28but that woman sure is a big-hearted lady with hips to match.

00:36:33Please, we're going to be right back.

00:36:35Shouldn't have said that.

00:36:36She said Illinois.

00:36:38She did?

00:36:39Yes, she did.

00:36:41♪♪

00:36:46Earlier in this program, the Macho Man, Randy Savage,

00:36:49came out and said that he would not leave

00:36:51until someone with some stroke came out.

00:36:53What were his motives?

00:36:55Maybe this will give you a little insight

00:36:57in what he was talking about.

00:36:59It happened on WCW Saturday night.

00:37:01As I said earlier, it is power and ego running amok,

00:37:04as we heard from Eric Bischoff.

00:37:07Whoo!

00:37:11You know, it's not easy being king.

00:37:16A lot of people think that it is.

00:37:18Two of the most powerful wrestling organizations in the world,

00:37:22first, the NWO, and secondly, of course, our beloved WCW.

00:37:29It's a lot of work, but you know,

00:37:31I wouldn't trade it for anything.

00:37:33I feel very grateful.

00:37:35I see what's happened to our industry.

00:37:37I have to look back at what all the Nash have done to everyone.

00:37:42The Nasty Boys, Faces of Fear, and Harlem Heat.

00:37:46It's really been quite devastating.

00:37:48Let's please look a little closer.

00:37:50Mark Hogan, my personal hero, I got to tell you.

00:37:53You know, he bought me this bike.

00:37:55I love that guy.

00:37:57The man who has put out more legends in our sport than anybody.

00:38:02Did I mention that he bought me this bike?

00:38:04Ric Flair, a man who everyone has loved for such a long time.

00:38:08And that has hurt me.

00:38:10Emotionally, it's been incredibly tough.

00:38:12His broken, battered, busted-up carcass

00:38:16that he's trying to mend to make his big comeback.

00:38:19It's over, Ric.

00:38:21And Roddy Piper, I tried to tell him.

00:38:24I tried. Liz, you know I tried.

00:38:27Didn't I? I tried. Didn't I try?

00:38:30Didn't I try? Didn't I tell Piper

00:38:33to stay in Portland, stay home,

00:38:36take care of your six kids, be an actor,

00:38:39be a movie star, do commercials,

00:38:41but don't get in the ring with Hollywood Hogan.

00:38:44But did he listen?

00:38:47I feel bad about that.

00:38:51I do.

00:38:55But I'll get over it.

00:38:57You know, when you're the king,

00:38:59you have people wanting to get into your organization.

00:39:02Some of them deserve a shot.

00:39:04Most of them don't.

00:39:06The wannabes, the has-beens, the misfits, the giant.

00:39:10I can't believe this big idiot.

00:39:13The opportunity of a lifetime.

00:39:16He fumbled at the goal line.

00:39:19There never could have been.

00:39:21You know, Liz, what are the two things

00:39:24that Randy Savage wanted most?

00:39:26Come on. I bet you know.

00:39:28Tell us.

00:39:30Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

00:39:32I'll tell you.

00:39:34The two things that the macho man Randy Savage wanted

00:39:37more than anything else in life

00:39:40was Liz and my hair.

00:39:46Their careers have come, and their careers have gone.

00:39:50And that hurts me. You know, it hurts me.

00:39:53Here, deep down, you know how I feel.

00:39:57It's a feeling.

00:39:59It's a presence.

00:40:01It's also the ability to manipulate.

00:40:07And to manipulate people.

00:40:10Wouldn't you agree to that, Liz?

00:40:14Come on. Come on.

00:40:17I know you agree with me.

00:40:20The NWO will always go on,

00:40:23because it is NWO for life.

00:40:25It's my life, and it's your life, too.

00:40:28And it's your life, too, isn't it, Liz?

00:40:30We love you. We really do.

00:40:35God, I love being me.

00:40:38I love being me.

00:40:40It's a beautiful thing.

00:40:43And the man is in charge of the NWO and of WCW,

00:40:47and who has made it publicly known

00:40:50that he will not let the macho man Randy Savage

00:40:53will not sign a contract.

00:40:56Well, I'll tell you something, Tony.

00:40:58Napoleon had his Waterloo,

00:41:00and the New World Order will have it sold out.

00:41:04Well, you know, there's a top wristlock,

00:41:07Dean Malenko and the Ultimate Dragon

00:41:09to battle here one-on-one,

00:41:11and, yeah, and I agree with that,

00:41:14but you've got the guy in charge of both sides here.

00:41:18He's gonna manipulate people.

00:41:19He's gonna do exactly what he wants to do.

00:41:22I mean, they tried as best they could

00:41:24to manipulate the Giant,

00:41:26but let me make mention of the fact

00:41:28the same way I did this past Saturday.

00:41:31The title that Hulk Hogan will put up

00:41:33on Saturday at NWO sold out against the Giant

00:41:35is WCW's title, not the NWO.

00:41:40And since he walked out last Monday night,

00:41:43that was a power slam by Malenko and a two-count.

00:41:46Since he, Hulk Hogan, walked out of the match last night

00:41:49or last Monday, into the corner they go,

00:41:52WCW's executive committee said,

00:41:54yeah, you will not only face the Giant

00:41:56at sold-out, a cover, and a two-count,

00:41:59but you will put the title on the line

00:42:01coming up on January 25th.

00:42:05Well, like I said, it's Waterloo.

00:42:08Up.

00:42:10Malenko picks up the Ultimo Dragon

00:42:12and wraps him down with a Brain Buster.

00:42:14We're looking at two great cruiserweights.

00:42:16One, two, and got a two-count.

00:42:19Tomorrow night, ladies and gentlemen,

00:42:20on TBS Superstation at 8.05 Eastern Time Live,

00:42:24the Clash of the Champions

00:42:25from the Wisconsin Center in Milwaukee,

00:42:27formerly known as Zemeckis.

00:42:29Ultimo Dragon will be there.

00:42:30Dean Malenko will be there.

00:42:32They're gonna have Scott Hall of the NWO

00:42:34against Lex Luger of WCW.

00:42:36That should be a tremendous matchup.

00:42:38Should be a great night of live action

00:42:40on TBS and Superstation.

00:42:42But I tell you, in this sport,

00:42:44in the cruiserweight division,

00:42:46you're seeing some great athletes.

00:42:48The Ultimo Dragon holds the cruiserweight championship.

00:42:51Dean Malenko lost that title to him recently.

00:42:54Hit first.

00:42:55I don't think no one's more focused than Dean Malenko.

00:42:58I mean, he wants it.

00:42:59He just nailed him in the corner.

00:43:00But talk about a guy with the qualifications

00:43:02that could be the ultimate cruiserweight champion

00:43:06of the world right there.

00:43:07I think in my book, it's Dean Malenko.

00:43:09What he's gotta do is just make sure he uses his game plan.

00:43:13Stay on the mat.

00:43:14I mean, you don't want to go fancy Dan moves like that.

00:43:17Malenko is great on the mat.

00:43:20Took one step away, did Malenko.

00:43:23Ultimo Dragon trying to use high wrist.

00:43:25Oh, Malenko hit hard.

00:43:26That time, I think he hit the side of the ribcage

00:43:29up against those safety rails.

00:43:31And that is trouble.

00:43:32And I tell you, the Ultimo Dragon is one tough guy.

00:43:35He has some of the most lethal kicks and punches in the sport.

00:43:38Dragging up on top.

00:43:39Malenko got him.

00:43:43He lost him.

00:43:45He got him.

00:43:46Malenko, one, two.

00:43:48He lost him.

00:43:49One, two, three.

00:43:51One, two.

00:43:52The other way.

00:43:55What makes this cruiserweight division so, so great

00:43:59is how quickly things can change.

00:44:02How quick the men are.

00:44:04To the midsection goes the Ultimo Dragon.

00:44:06But talk about the chances they take with their own bodies.

00:44:10I mean, these guys are, these guys are insane.

00:44:15Malenko, he's stunned.

00:44:16He's sitting up on top.

00:44:18The Ultimo Dragon's got him.

00:44:20Sitting on the shoulder.

00:44:23What a maneuver.

00:44:24One, two.

00:44:26No, he didn't get it.

00:44:28Couldn't hold him down.

00:44:29How about that?

00:44:30Sunny Ono, he's going berserk out there.

00:44:32I think Sunny Ono and the Ultimo Dragon

00:44:34doing a little bit of celebrating here.

00:44:37Well, don't celebrate yet.

00:44:38Not with Malenko.

00:44:44Caught the foot.

00:44:46Submission hold applied there.

00:44:47And quickly, the Dragon went to the bottom rope.

00:44:49A little too close to the ropes.

00:44:50All you gotta do is catch that foot.

00:44:53Hook that ankle and drop it.

00:44:55He bent over too soon.

00:44:57Malenko trying to pick him up.

00:44:58Ultimo Dragon will go for it.

00:44:59Oh, my goodness.

00:45:01On the arm.

00:45:02Rolls him over.

00:45:03One, two, three.

00:45:04No.

00:45:05That was a nice move.

00:45:06You can't take it away from him.

00:45:08Sunny Ono, this guy's got himself a winner.

00:45:13The winner of the match is the Ultimo Dragon.

00:45:16He retains the cruiserweight belt.

00:45:19A return match between the two men

00:45:21will be held tomorrow night

00:45:23at the Clash of the Champions.

00:45:25And DeMalenko will get the shot there one more time.

00:45:29I hope he doesn't make the same mistake twice.

00:45:31Right here.

00:45:32High-risk maneuver.

00:45:33Ultimo Dragon, beautiful move.

00:45:35I think this was the one that got Malenko wobbly.

00:45:38Couldn't pick him up right there.

00:45:39There you go.

00:45:40The arm bar.

00:45:41Watch this.

00:45:42Just lays the leg.

00:45:43Rolled through.

00:45:44And then he hooks the leg

00:45:45and gets on his shoulders, Tony.

00:45:46And it's the Pep Boys Power Pin of the Week.

00:45:48The Pep Boys Power Pin of the Week

00:45:49brought to you by

00:45:50Pep Boys America's Automotive Supercenter.

00:45:52Our thanks to the living legend, Larry D'Avisco.

00:45:54Any time.

00:45:55Hour number two when we come back

00:45:56and great wrestling action

00:45:58including the Taskmaster against Chris Benoit,

00:46:01Lex Luger,

00:46:02the Steiners,

00:46:03Isla Meade.

00:46:04Don't you dare go away.

00:46:10Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen,

00:46:11to hour number two of WCW Monday Nitro

00:46:14as hour number two is off and running

00:46:17from the United Center

00:46:20in Chicago.

00:46:22Jam-packed.

00:46:23Boy, is it ever.

00:46:25The home of the Bulls

00:46:26and the home of the Chicago Blackhawks

00:46:29is now the home of WCW Monday Nitro.

00:46:31Hello to Mike today.

00:46:32Hello to Bobby the Brain Heenan.

00:46:33And gentlemen,

00:46:34we were all shocked beyond belief

00:46:38as to what happened

00:46:39at the hands of the Macho Man, Randy Savage,

00:46:41as we began the program,

00:46:42hour number one, Mike.

00:46:43Well, Tony,

00:46:44after analyzing the events of the first hour,

00:46:46the situation surrounding Sting

00:46:48becomes even more confusing.

00:46:50Last week here on Nitro,

00:46:52I was convinced that he had joined

00:46:53the New World Order

00:46:54after attacking Jim Duggan.

00:46:56But tonight,

00:46:57the situation,

00:46:58this mid-ring showdown with Randy Savage,

00:47:00has me even more confused.

00:47:01What do you think about it, Brain?

00:47:02Well, Savage is the kind of a guy

00:47:03who would drive a car with emergency on

00:47:05and still make it go.

00:47:07He's determined to be here at WCW

00:47:09at anybody's expense

00:47:10and not his.

00:47:11Okay, let's take a look

00:47:12at what actually transpired

00:47:14as we went on the air.

00:47:15The Macho Man, Randy Savage,

00:47:17just came out of the stands.

00:47:20I mean, we were ready

00:47:21for our first match,

00:47:22Chavo Jr. and Max.

00:47:24I never saw him in the back.

00:47:26He wasn't in the back.

00:47:27He wasn't here.

00:47:29And he comes in,

00:47:30he gets the microphone,

00:47:32he makes demands,

00:47:34and he just completely disrupts

00:47:36the beginning of our program.

00:47:37But Tony, look at it this way.

00:47:39What does the NWO do

00:47:40whenever they want to do something?

00:47:42They come and disrupt

00:47:43and do whatever they want.

00:47:44He's just taking the bull

00:47:45by the horns.

00:47:46Well, that's exactly

00:47:47what he has done.

00:47:48And as he put the chair

00:47:51down in the ring,

00:47:52he had some things to say

00:47:53to Eric Bischoff.

00:47:57I've been blackballed.

00:48:01And I'm not leaving here tonight

00:48:04until I talk to somebody

00:48:06that's got some major stroke.

00:48:10Nitro is a two-hour show.

00:48:14I've got no plans.

00:48:16I'm planning to stay here

00:48:18all night.

00:48:23And one other thing.

00:48:26I got a message

00:48:29for my ex-WCW boss,

00:48:32Eric Bischoff.

00:48:36You can kiss my ass!

00:48:42Well, so the Macho Man

00:48:43Randy Savage says that.

00:48:45He said Mike today

00:48:46is being blackballed.

00:48:47And then here comes

00:48:48Chavo Guerrero Jr. out

00:48:50to try to encourage him

00:48:51to leave the ring.

00:48:52Well, Tony, I remember

00:48:53back in the 1960s

00:48:55when sit-ins were in vogue.

00:48:57But obviously,

00:48:58the Macho Man Randy Savage

00:49:00has decided that in 1997,

00:49:02it's his way to make a point.

00:49:05And with his comments

00:49:06for Eric Bischoff,

00:49:07we know that he's not

00:49:08on the same page

00:49:09as the NWO boss.

00:49:11Look at this.

00:49:12Sting.

00:49:13Sting coming down

00:49:14from the ceiling.

00:49:15He's got to be 20 stories up.

00:49:17Look at that.

00:49:18That was quite a sight.

00:49:20Oh, my goodness.

00:49:21From the ceiling

00:49:22of the United Center here.

00:49:23And then look how he just

00:49:24literally parted the sea

00:49:26as he walks to the ring.

00:49:27And all the athletes,

00:49:28Doug Dillinger, referees,

00:49:30he comes in with a baseball bat.

00:49:32We've seen this before

00:49:33from Sting handing the bat

00:49:34to Savage and turning his back.

00:49:37What was this all about?

00:49:39And then all of a sudden,

00:49:41apparently Randy Savage and Sting

00:49:43come to some sort

00:49:44of an understanding,

00:49:45unspoken as it is.

00:49:48Yeah, Sting never says

00:49:49a word to him, does he?

00:49:51How does he communicate?

00:49:53Well, when you've got

00:49:54a ball bat, you can communicate.

00:49:55Yeah, you sure can.

00:49:56But as Sting left the arena

00:49:58tonight,

00:49:59the Macho Man was in tow.

00:50:02And the mystery continues.

00:50:03I don't think there's any mystery

00:50:04as we are back now

00:50:05in live action here

00:50:06on WCW Monday Night Show.

00:50:08Okay, now we'd appreciate

00:50:10if you bunch of Illinois Hillbillies

00:50:12would stand up and join me

00:50:15in the Canadian National Anthem.

00:50:17Tony, sit down.

00:50:18Hit it!

00:50:20O Canada!

00:50:25Canada!

00:50:28O Canada!

00:50:31He doesn't know the words.

00:50:33He's ad-libbing.

00:50:36It's not Harold Melvin,

00:50:37but he's not bad.

00:50:38He's horrible.

00:50:39I think he's good.

00:50:40You're a bonehead.

00:50:41He's horrible.

00:50:42He used to be one

00:50:43of the Isley brothers.

00:50:44It's a disgrace with the fact

00:50:45that National Hockey League games

00:50:47are played in this building

00:50:48that we have to hear

00:50:49that rendition of the

00:50:50Canadian National Anthem.

00:50:51Yes, I would agree.

00:50:52But he's had his chance

00:50:53at the World Television title,

00:50:55Lord Stephen Regal.

00:50:56But, you know, Brain,

00:50:58you and I both

00:50:59in the WCW offices

00:51:00have heard Eric Bishop

00:51:01say that the Macho Man

00:51:03Randy Savage will never

00:51:04wrestle in WCW again.

00:51:06And that is the reason,

00:51:08as we heard once again

00:51:10when the Macho Man came out,

00:51:11he said, you know,

00:51:12I've been blackballed.

00:51:13And that's what he's

00:51:14talking about, I feel.

00:51:15Well, it looks to me like

00:51:16Eric Bishop is just trying

00:51:17to keep him on the shelf,

00:51:18trying to keep him out of WCW.

00:51:19Why?

00:51:20Because he knows how dangerous

00:51:21Savage can be.

00:51:22Well, it's the same thing

00:51:23that happened with

00:51:24Rowdy Roddy Piper.

00:51:25He tried to prevent

00:51:26that bitch from having it.

00:51:27He tried to stop the judge

00:51:29from getting the title

00:51:30from Hulk Hogan,

00:51:31from getting that title shot.

00:51:32He is protecting Hulk Hogan

00:51:34is what he's doing.

00:51:35Well, of course he is.

00:51:36You don't have to be

00:51:37blind to see that.

00:51:38Because you know

00:51:39that's how Parker

00:51:40and Chip Regal work.

00:51:41Oh!

00:51:42Did Eric Bishop's comment

00:51:43on Saturday night on TBS

00:51:45set Randy Savage off?

00:51:47I think it's more

00:51:48than a coincidence

00:51:49that the Macho Man

00:51:50returned shortly thereafter.

00:51:52Yeah, I think it's more,

00:51:53you know, and I really think

00:51:54it's more than that.

00:51:55I, those comments

00:51:56that he was talking about

00:51:57each year,

00:51:58and Miss Elizabeth

00:51:59set him off,

00:52:00but it's probably,

00:52:01obviously,

00:52:02you know how this sport is.

00:52:03Once somebody says

00:52:05something in this sport,

00:52:06everybody knows about it.

00:52:07All the wrestlers know

00:52:08what's going on.

00:52:09Eric Bishop,

00:52:10he's never gonna come back.

00:52:11It got back to Randy Savage.

00:52:13He saw the interview

00:52:14on Saturday night.

00:52:15He said,

00:52:16this is the time.

00:52:17Well, he's a driven man,

00:52:18Savage,

00:52:19and no doubt about that.

00:52:20I've known the man

00:52:21Uh-oh.

00:52:22I've known the man for years,

00:52:24and I know his attitude.

00:52:25And his attitude

00:52:26has always been bad.

00:52:28Well,

00:52:29Parker gets the hand stomped on.

00:52:31Meanwhile,

00:52:32Jacques Rougeau

00:52:33with a double axe handle

00:52:34on the back of the

00:52:35television champion

00:52:36Lord Steven Regal.

00:52:37Uh-oh.

00:52:38Parker's in the ring.

00:52:39Parker's in the ring.

00:52:41He's gonna hit his own man.

00:52:46And the referee calling for the bell.

00:52:47Up goes Colonel Parker,

00:52:49and Parker Rougeau

00:52:51take a tumble.

00:52:52Well, it's not Casablanca

00:52:54for Quad Reigns.

00:52:55You better get out of there,

00:52:56Parker,

00:52:57if you can.

00:53:00Lord Steven Regal

00:53:03wins the match.

00:53:04Ladies and gentlemen,

00:53:05the winner of the match,

00:53:06as a result of a disqualification,

00:53:08the WCW television champion,

00:53:11Lord Steven Regal.

00:53:15Lord Steven Regal

00:53:16is still your television champion

00:53:19and defeats Jacques Rougeau

00:53:21here on WCW Monday Nitro.

00:53:25Buckle your seatbelt.

00:53:26When we come back,

00:53:27the taskmaster, Chris Benoit,

00:53:28live from Chicago.

00:53:30Uh-oh.

00:53:31That's next.

00:53:39Giant.

00:53:40You dropped the ball, man.

00:53:43That's sold out.

00:53:44Hollywood's gonna drop you

00:53:45like a bad habit.

00:53:46Steiner's sold out.

00:53:48Prepare to be blown.

00:53:51It's a short climb,

00:53:52but it's a long fall.

00:53:54It's NWO's Sold Out.

00:53:56Saturday, January 25th,

00:54:23and he reports in

00:54:24from Milwaukee

00:54:25on the road

00:54:26with 1-800-COLLECT.

00:54:28Lee, are you cold?

00:54:29Tony, I am cold,

00:54:31but the only thing

00:54:32keeping me warm here

00:54:33is the cheeseheads.

00:54:34I mean, the fans here

00:54:35haven't been this excited

00:54:36since the Bucks won

00:54:37the coin toss

00:54:38and got Lew Alcindor

00:54:39as their first pick.

00:54:40Obviously, all the Packer Packers

00:54:43but everybody already

00:54:44with tickets for tomorrow night's

00:54:45Class of the Champions.

00:54:46While the world

00:54:54box office has your tickets.

00:54:55Also, the nearest ticket master

00:54:56can take care of you.

00:54:57Oh, I had a chance

00:54:58to sample some of the local cuisine,

00:54:59by the way, guys.

00:55:00Yeah?

00:55:01And I mean,

00:55:02have any of you guys

00:55:03ever sampled sauerkraut

00:55:04and bratweasel?

00:55:05Don't do it!

00:55:06That's your

00:55:071-800-COLLECT road report

00:55:08from Milwaukee.

00:55:10I'm Lee Marshall

00:55:11for 1-800-COLLECT.

00:55:13We've never done that, Lee,

00:55:14but we have a sauerweasel

00:55:15to our left here.

00:55:17I hope he chokes

00:55:18on a kielbasa.

00:55:22Okay, here we go.

00:55:23This next match

00:55:24on WCW's Monday Night Drove

00:55:27is gonna be

00:55:28a little preview,

00:55:29a little taste

00:55:30of what we're gonna see

00:55:31tomorrow night

00:55:32when pitfalls

00:55:33get everywhere.

00:55:34Taskmaster to face

00:55:35Crispin Wong

00:55:36of the Four Horsemen here.

00:55:37They just couldn't wait

00:55:38until tomorrow's fight.

00:55:39They can't wait

00:55:40to get in the ring.

00:55:41You're not gonna be able

00:55:42to call the action

00:55:43in this one.

00:55:44Just sit back and watch

00:55:45because this is not gonna

00:55:46be a wrestling match.

00:55:47Crispin Wong,

00:55:48the Taskmaster,

00:55:49wasting no time.

00:55:50The fight is on the floor.

00:55:52And the fight...

00:55:53Oh, my goodness.

00:55:54They're gonna go

00:55:55into the seats.

00:55:56Oh, yeah.

00:55:57Sullivan pointed,

00:55:58and here they go!

00:55:59United Center

00:56:00will never be the same,

00:56:01neither will Chicago.

00:56:02You see a bit of security now,

00:56:03trying to clear out

00:56:04the fans here.

00:56:05And these two men

00:56:06have each other

00:56:07by the hair.

00:56:08Where are they going?

00:56:10Well, this match

00:56:11was not supposed to happen.

00:56:12No, the False Count Anywhere

00:56:14stipulation,

00:56:15but I guess Kevin Sullivan

00:56:16is not one to heed

00:56:17any referee's rulings anyway.

00:56:20They are out

00:56:21in the concourse there.

00:56:22They are fighting

00:56:23in the hallway.

00:56:27You know,

00:56:28this was supposed

00:56:29to be a match

00:56:30that took place

00:56:31in the ring.

00:56:32Only on Nitro

00:56:33are you gonna see

00:56:34something like this.

00:56:35There you see fans.

00:56:36Beer being spilled.

00:56:38Uh-oh, they're heading...

00:56:40Right now,

00:56:41our cameramen

00:56:42fighting to get in

00:56:44with the fans here.

00:56:45You know where they're going.

00:56:46They're going in the house.

00:56:48In the house?

00:56:49What house?

00:56:50I don't mean the White House.

00:56:52The Porcelain Palace.

00:56:55They're fighting.

00:56:56Oh, my goodness.

00:56:58He's got his head.

00:56:59Got his fingers

00:57:00stuck in the door.

00:57:01For crying out loud.

00:57:06From the stalls.

00:57:09Look at Ben White.

00:57:10He looks flushed.

00:57:12This is the most

00:57:13bitter rivalry,

00:57:14the most bitter feud

00:57:15this sport has ever seen,

00:57:16I feel.

00:57:17And there's been

00:57:18some great ones

00:57:19over the years.

00:57:20Nothing like this.

00:57:23She's in the men's room.

00:57:26Face first into the glass.

00:57:30That's plexiglass.

00:57:31He's torn right off the wall.

00:57:34And he's pounded away.

00:57:39Doug Dillinger

00:57:40said that's enough.

00:57:41And there goes Doug

00:57:42again.

00:57:48This matchup

00:57:49never officially started.

00:57:50There was never a bell.

00:57:52You're right about that.

00:57:53Can you imagine the guy

00:57:54in stall three

00:57:55reading the paper

00:57:56come out and see this?

00:57:59And they're going to

00:58:00go outside now.

00:58:01I hope they don't want

00:58:02to go to the ladies' room.

00:58:04Does it make a difference, Tony?

00:58:05Yeah, it will make

00:58:06a big difference.

00:58:10He's certainly

00:58:11leaving a paper trail.

00:58:13And there is quite a crowd.

00:58:15What a fight.

00:58:16Our cameraman

00:58:17literally trying to fight

00:58:19his way out of there.

00:58:21Good luck.

00:58:23This is incredible.

00:58:25As it happens,

00:58:26we have never witnessed

00:58:27anything like this.

00:58:29And they think

00:58:30Rogman's nuts.

00:58:33Woman has her shoe off.

00:58:36And she's pounding

00:58:37on people with the

00:58:38heel of that shoe.

00:58:40Here they come.

00:58:41Our camera's in the arena now.

00:58:42Have picked him up.

00:58:43Where's Benoit?

00:58:44Where's Benoit?

00:58:47I have no idea.

00:58:50Benoit

00:58:51is down on the steps.

00:58:52Oh, my goodness.

00:58:53He's thrown him down

00:58:54the whole flight of steps

00:58:55on his back.

00:58:58This is serious.

00:58:59We're going to have

00:59:00some serious injuries here.

00:59:03If this is a...

00:59:04This is personal, Mike.

00:59:05This is personal.

00:59:07This is not a wrestling match.

00:59:09Our fans are going to be

00:59:10watching the Super Station

00:59:11tomorrow night.

00:59:12A little taste

00:59:13of what's going to happen.

00:59:14If this is a preview,

00:59:15how wild is it going to be

00:59:16tomorrow night on TBS?

00:59:17It's going to be incredible.

00:59:18They'll fight all the way

00:59:19from Milwaukee

00:59:20up to Green Bay and back.

00:59:22You know, I notice that...

00:59:24Oh, he's got a cup of brew.

00:59:26This one's for you.

00:59:27Whoa.

00:59:29Last call.

00:59:31I've never witnessed

00:59:32anything like this in my life.

00:59:35And no beer nuts.

00:59:36You know, as...

00:59:38Oh, a fan got into

00:59:39that one, too.

00:59:40It's Chicago.

00:59:41As Kevin was down

00:59:42on his knees

00:59:43and he was being pounded

00:59:44by Ben Wodger,

00:59:45you see how he was

00:59:46looking at Nancy.

00:59:47I kept looking over to her.

00:59:50Don't invite these two

00:59:51over for dinner.

00:59:54They'll ruin your home.

00:59:56Oh, and Randy Adamson

00:59:57ringing the bell.

01:00:00Oh, the match has started.

01:00:02Now it starts.

01:00:03Finally.

01:00:04What else can they do?

01:00:05What will the end be like?

01:00:07I don't know.

01:00:08I don't know.

01:00:09What will the end be like

01:00:11if this is the start?

01:00:13Benoit

01:00:15picks up Sullivan.

01:00:18You know, I...

01:00:19Sullivan's never been up there.

01:00:20I don't think so.

01:00:22I'm really concerned.

01:00:23Someone is gonna get

01:00:24seriously hurt.

01:00:25And I know, you know,

01:00:26the object of matches

01:00:27is to win.

01:00:29See, but Tony,

01:00:30this isn't a match.

01:00:31This is personal.

01:00:32That's what I'm saying.

01:00:33Not in Kevin Sullivan's mind

01:00:34the object isn't to win.

01:00:35The object is to gain revenge.

01:00:37He holds a lot inside.

01:00:39He's just a very, very

01:00:40troubled man.

01:00:41He's a very dangerous man.

01:00:42And so is Benoit.

01:00:45Head first.

01:00:46Time to turnbuckle now.

01:00:48And after you've had

01:00:49your head shoved into

01:00:50the stall in the bathroom,

01:00:52what's a turnbuckle

01:00:53gonna do to it?

01:00:55Be a refreshing relief.

01:00:56Incredibly,

01:00:57Benoit bounces back up.

01:00:59What a phenomenal athlete.

01:01:01It just shows you

01:01:02how tough these two are.

01:01:03I mean, they were on the floor,

01:01:04Tony.

01:01:05They were in the hall.

01:01:06They were in the restroom.

01:01:07They were in stalls.

01:01:09He threw Benoit down

01:01:10a whole flight of stairs.

01:01:11And they're still

01:01:12in the ring fighting.

01:01:14That's that trick knee of his.

01:01:15Boy, you're not kidding.

01:01:17Kind of like a back kick

01:01:18of a mule.

01:01:19Atomic drop.

01:01:21Oh, boy.

01:01:23Oh, their heads collided.

01:01:24The back of their head

01:01:25of Benoit

01:01:26on the forehead

01:01:27of the Taskmaster

01:01:28collided.

01:01:29And now woman

01:01:30screeching up on top.

01:01:33Jimmy Hart just gave

01:01:34Solomon the ring bell.

01:01:35The ring bell.

01:01:37Benoit up on top.

01:01:39He is going to ring his bell.

01:01:42That's what it is.

01:01:43Diving headbutt

01:01:44into the bell.

01:01:47And Taskmaster,

01:01:48Jimmy Hart's gonna try

01:01:49to help him up.

01:01:51Taskmaster gonna win this.

01:01:52One, two, three.

01:01:54No question about that.

01:01:55Benoit's out.

01:01:57Out colder than a mackerel.

01:02:00And

01:02:01the Taskmaster wins.

01:02:02There's the bell.

01:02:05And this match is over.

01:02:07Who's the man now?

01:02:09Who's the man now?

01:02:11Maybe the match is over.

01:02:12Maybe the match is over right now.

01:02:14But this thing is not over.

01:02:16Solomon, you can see

01:02:17the top of his head injured.

01:02:20It nicks and cuts

01:02:21and bruises.

01:02:23And tomorrow night

01:02:24when pin falls

01:02:25will be able to count anywhere.

01:02:27They'll be able to pin each other

01:02:28in the restroom

01:02:29if they want to.

01:02:30Or out in the snow.

01:02:31And there is a man who is out

01:02:32and I'm just wondering

01:02:33what condition he's gonna be in

01:02:34tomorrow night.

01:02:36Tomorrow night,

01:02:37the next chapter

01:02:38in what has evolved

01:02:39into a personal issue.

01:02:41It's not even a brutal rivalry

01:02:43at this point between the two.

01:02:46No.

01:02:47This is dangerous.

01:02:48That's right.

01:02:49And that's very, very dangerous.

01:02:50That's what happens when...

01:02:52I don't know.

01:02:53I think back to

01:02:54the horseman's problems.

01:02:56There's just a lot

01:02:57of problems

01:02:58centering out

01:02:59on women

01:03:00here in WCW.

01:03:02There's always a lot of problems

01:03:03settling on women.

01:03:05You speak for yourself, fella.

01:03:08As Benoit can barely

01:03:09even get to his feet here

01:03:10on WCW Monday Nitro.

01:03:12This has been a wild program.

01:03:14We need to...

01:03:16This is earlier

01:03:17in the restroom, Bobby.

01:03:18Now get a shot of this.

01:03:20Benoit pulls off

01:03:21that plexiglass petition

01:03:22and just parts the hair

01:03:23of Solomon

01:03:24and just keeps pounding him.

01:03:25They are now

01:03:26in the men's room.

01:03:27Look how...

01:03:28Can you tell he looks...

01:03:29See how he's looking at woman?

01:03:31Woman right to his left.

01:03:32Doug Dillinger steps in

01:03:33trying to maintain some order.

01:03:35The restroom is full

01:03:36of people trying to

01:03:37stay out of the way

01:03:38and trying to stop this.

01:03:39Benoit just throwing punches.

01:03:40Solomon throwing punches.

01:03:42Jimmy Hart in the background

01:03:43there cheering him on.

01:03:45Who knows what's gonna happen

01:03:46here at Nitro in Chicago.

01:03:48Don't go away.

01:03:49We have great action

01:03:50including the total package

01:03:51Lex Luger in action.

01:03:52We have Isla Meade here,

01:03:53the Steiner brothers

01:03:54and much more

01:03:55and more

01:03:56live on Nitro

01:03:57from the United Center

01:03:58in Chicago.

01:03:59After this time out

01:04:00stay there.

01:04:01Don't go away.

01:04:04Back with you live

01:04:05on WCW Monday Nitro.

01:04:06Tony Schiavone,

01:04:07Bobby the Brain,

01:04:08he and Mike today

01:04:09and we want to talk

01:04:10a little bit about

01:04:11what's gonna occur

01:04:12this weekend.

01:04:13As you know,

01:04:14last week on this program

01:04:15the WCW executive committee

01:04:16said that Hulk Hogan

01:04:17would not only have to

01:04:18face the giant

01:04:19but he would have to

01:04:20face him on

01:04:21on WCW Monday Nitro.

01:04:23Well, the title

01:04:24will be on the line

01:04:25this weekend

01:04:26and the NWO

01:04:27the WCW executive committee

01:04:29has said so

01:04:30and

01:04:31well, we've got

01:04:32NWO music here, don't we?

01:04:33I think the New World Order

01:04:34has made a serious mistake

01:04:36by awakening

01:04:37a sleeping giant.

01:04:39What are they doing here?

01:04:41Whatever they want to do.

01:04:43Yeah, I mean

01:04:44he can do whatever

01:04:45he wants to do.

01:04:46He can blackball

01:04:47the Macho Man Randy Savage.

01:04:48He can fire himself.

01:04:50Wouldn't be a bad idea, actually.

01:04:53It's always uneasy

01:04:54when these guys

01:04:55come on the scene.

01:04:56Here they come.

01:04:57Uh-oh.

01:04:59Oh!

01:05:01Oh, I'm gonna rip his leg.

01:05:13Mr. Kitts says

01:05:15we need to do something

01:05:16big and meaningful

01:05:19here.

01:05:21And I have two very

01:05:23important announcements

01:05:25for Super Bowl 300.

01:05:27My look is sweeter, what?

01:05:33We do, we love them.

01:05:36And they love us.

01:05:39Look at them up there, yes.

01:05:42And now that we've regained control of this show.

01:05:53Let's go to the ring tag team action coming up.

01:05:56God, this is great.

01:06:01We're going to give you a little taste.

01:06:04Just a wee little taste.

01:06:07Of NWO sold out.

01:06:10Some things got to change here tonight though, gentlemen.

01:06:13We've got to rearrange some stuff.

01:06:14Come back, Canada!

01:06:17Shut up.

01:06:18Shut up.

01:06:19Shut up!

01:06:20Shut up!

01:06:21You listen!

01:06:22Come back!

01:06:23Come back!

01:06:24Canada!

01:06:25Canada!

01:06:26Get out of here!

01:06:27Canada is-

01:06:28Canada is-

01:06:29The New York Number One!

01:06:30Doesn't look like he's missed too many Lebats, has he?

01:06:31Who cares?

01:06:32And I want to tell you, it is great to be back in New York!

01:06:38They love us here, Cavs.

01:06:41Stop the music!

01:06:43They love us here.

01:06:45They love us here.

01:06:48You know the deal!

01:06:51You stand up!

01:06:53You stand up!

01:06:56And now all of you stand up!

01:06:59And you lay down and do a couple of sit-ups.

01:07:01For the National Anthem of the best country in the world!

01:07:08OK!

01:07:10Oh, Cap, go smack this guy, will ya?

01:07:13I swear.

01:07:14He's got about two seconds left.

01:07:16I'm gonna have to go down and put him out of his misery.

01:07:18Please!

01:07:23This is too much.

01:07:24Oh, no.

01:07:27Oh, he really needs to be smacked.

01:07:29Let's jump on the bandwagon.

01:07:32Oh, no!

01:07:35Headshot, Jim Duggan!

01:07:39The two-by-four of his hand.

01:07:41The flag in his arm.

01:07:43You don't mess with me, Stig!

01:07:45I'm watching the Raptors!

01:07:47I'm watching the Raptors!

01:07:49Our Stigger put it there.

01:07:52You know, the thing that really makes me sick is, look at this.

01:07:55You know, we don't want the guy, so what's he do?

01:07:57He grabs some big W's and, oh, I'll be their poster boy.

01:08:02I say we go down and beat Duggan up right now and spray-paint him.

01:08:05I say we tag Duggan.

01:08:07We got some business to attend to.

01:08:09Why don't we take care of Duggan after the program?

01:08:11All right.

01:08:12You know, one of the things that I want to do right away

01:08:14is change things here just a little bit.

01:08:16You know, Masahiro Chono.

01:08:18Masa-Masa.

01:08:20Masahiro Chono.

01:08:22Masa-My Hero Chono came all the way from Tokyo, Japan.

01:08:25He came here to wrestle.

01:08:27They don't have him on the schedule tonight.

01:08:29I just changed that.

01:08:31And you can do that.

01:08:33Squire Dave Taylor was supposed to wrestle.

01:08:35Psychosis? Not anymore.

01:08:37Tonight, he's wrestling our guy, Masahiro Chono,

01:08:41because Chono needs a tune-up for Saturday night.

01:08:44Absolutely.

01:08:46And you know what? Let's change another one here.

01:08:48Let me show the way they've got this laid out here.

01:08:50Scott Hall.

01:08:52You people are wondering where Scott Hall is.

01:08:55Scott Hall's warming up.

01:08:57We gave Rick Steiner the day off

01:08:59because Lord knows he's going to need it.

01:09:01He's going to need it.

01:09:03We want these guys at their optimum peak here on next Saturday.

01:09:06Scott Hall, the first time on Nitro Wrestling Live,

01:09:10just for you people.

01:09:12He's going to be taking on Booker T.

01:09:14Anybody seen this big boy go before?

01:09:16I know ain't nobody flipping no channels

01:09:18because this guy is one of a kind.

01:09:20So that is what we've got going on tonight.

01:09:23You've got to do it more!

01:09:27Is it a 2x4 in Quebec, or is it in centimeters?

01:09:31It actually would be.

01:09:33That's why every time Quebec tries to do this breakout on their own thing,

01:09:38they don't even know what they're doing.

01:09:40You know what's kind of got me going, though?

01:09:43Is this whole woman thing between the Taskmaster and Benoit.

01:09:47Did you see that tonight?

01:09:49If they take care of things the way I do,

01:09:51they just say, hey, sweetheart, the money's on the dresser,

01:09:53I'll talk to you later, it'd be over with.

01:09:59Look at what we've got here.

01:10:01Look what we've got here.

01:10:03Me and my brother, my brother and me are in the house.

01:10:05These guys are joined at the hip here.

01:10:07We understand that our sting and Savage,

01:10:10looks like Savage wants to become part of the NWO.

01:10:12What's going on, guys?

01:10:16See, these cheap shot artists have no idea

01:10:20what true competition really is.

01:10:22They're going to find out Saturday.

01:10:25Hatch saw Jim Duggan, the Tape Fist Champion,

01:10:28in some way or another.

01:10:30It's amazing, Duggan, who sustained a wrist injury,

01:10:33went ahead and treated it himself during the match,

01:10:37and then hit it with the body.

01:10:40WCW and USA together!

01:10:44Take a look at that kisser.

01:10:46Do we have to?

01:10:48Unbelievable, and coming up,

01:10:50NWO taking over our hero Chono,

01:10:54the newest member, or is that Savage?

01:10:57He's coming up next! Stay with us.

01:11:02Welcome back to NWO Monday Night Show,

01:11:06and let's take a look at some footage.

01:11:08The biggest mistake any human being could possibly make

01:11:12was made by DDP.

01:11:15We've got to talk about this one.

01:11:17Yeah, we've definitely got to talk about this one.

01:11:19We've got company.

01:11:21We've got company right here.

01:11:23Here we are, coming down.

01:11:25These are the men who helped Diamond Dallas

01:11:27advance to this championship match.

01:11:29I don't think they're here to help Guerrero.

01:11:31What are you doing?

01:11:33Wake up call. This is a wake up call.

01:11:37What it looks like to me is they're going to go ahead

01:11:39and put him away because he turned him down.

01:11:41Ted, wouldn't you say sometimes the harder a lesson is learned,

01:11:45the better it is learned?

01:11:47Isn't that what we were trying to demonstrate here?

01:11:49Diamond Dallas shot down hard.

01:11:51Trying to get the man's attention.

01:11:53Rushed from the NWO in recent weeks.

01:11:55You've declined as far as I know,

01:11:57but then all of a sudden last night,

01:11:59big opportunity for you, and who should come

01:12:01and turn on you but Hall, Nash, the NWO?

01:12:05I'm very curious. What are you going to do about it?

01:12:07Don't worry about it.

01:12:09Well, it's not just me, Diamond Dallas Page.

01:12:12A lot of people want to know what you're going to do about it.

01:12:15Like I said, don't worry about it, Gene.

01:12:17Am I crying? I'm not crying about it.

01:12:20I'm a fixer. I'm going to fix things,

01:12:22and I'm going to move on.

01:12:24There's got to be more to that.

01:12:26What do you mean specifically by fixing something?

01:12:30Listen, Gene, sometimes people,

01:12:33they say to me I'm a little thick-headed.

01:12:35No.

01:12:36Maybe I am a little bit stubborn.

01:12:38No, you?

01:12:39And maybe sometimes, maybe I don't get it right away.

01:12:42No, you don't get it at all.

01:12:44Get out of here.

01:12:45You get it.

01:12:46You're going to get it there, punk.

01:12:48Perhaps the biggest opportunity you've had thus far

01:12:50in your professional wrestling career.

01:12:52Listen, Gene, the NWO is too strong right now.

01:12:55I know what I got to do, and I know it's going to happen.

01:12:58What are you going to do, Mr. Page?

01:13:01Yeah, he does.

01:13:02He's come farther than anybody in the sport

01:13:04in the last three years, but you know what?

01:13:06He could have been a star.

01:13:07He could have been a contender.

01:13:08He could have been somebody.

01:13:09Now he's going to be a bum, and that's what he's going to be.

01:13:13The NWO.

01:13:15Hey, hey, hey.

01:13:17Hey, look at that.

01:13:19This is where he dug his grave.

01:13:22You know those other interviews?

01:13:24He had a shovel.

01:13:26He had to get a backhoe on this one.

01:13:30Partner coming down, looking sweet.

01:13:32Look at this now.

01:13:36I mean, I got tears in my eyes at this point.

01:13:39He's my boy, you know.

01:13:40I think he's my boy.

01:13:42We go back, you know.

01:13:44This is real.

01:13:45This is real.

01:13:46That's real, man.

01:13:47That's real right there.

01:13:48Look at that, man.

01:13:50That's real.

01:13:51And look at this dirtbag.

01:13:53We throw him our colors, and what does he do?

01:13:55He stabs us in the back.

01:13:57And I'll tell you what.

01:13:58This makes the Super Bowl look weak.

01:14:00This is beautiful.

01:14:02Look at that.

01:14:03Yes!

01:14:04Sportsman.

01:14:05Sportsman.

01:14:06Yes!

01:14:07Look at this.

01:14:08Hey!

01:14:09Unbelievable.

01:14:10Judas.

01:14:11No, no, I can't believe what I'm seeing.

01:14:12Judas!

01:14:13You just made a big mistake, Dallas.

01:14:15If I could have got my hands on him.

01:14:19Who put that table there anyway, you know?

01:14:21I'll tell you what.

01:14:22All kidding aside, he had so much potential.

01:14:27And now he's got the potential to get the beat of his life,

01:14:30which he's going to get.

01:14:31All right, let's put that one behind us.

01:14:33I can't.

01:14:34Please, please.

01:14:35Settle down.

01:14:36You're going to get your shot.

01:14:37He's going to pay for this, man.

01:14:39Planning is everything.

01:14:40Ted.

01:14:41Timing is everything.

01:14:42You're the man.

01:14:43You're the man that's been traveling the oceans,

01:14:46traveling lands far and wide to help put together

01:14:50the international portion of the NWO.

01:14:53Tell us about Chono, man.

01:14:55What happened to him in New Japan?

01:14:57I hear it's history.

01:14:58It's biggest news all over Japan.

01:15:00New Japan Wrestling is all set to sign Chono to a new contract.

01:15:04And he said no.

01:15:06He shocked the entire Japanese empire by saying,

01:15:09no, I'm NWO.

01:15:11Hold on, hold on, hold on.

01:15:12I don't want to interrupt anything here.

01:15:14You've got to get down and referee this thing.

01:15:16We can't let them do it.

01:15:17Yeah, yeah.

01:15:18Get your head on down there.

01:15:19We need an even playing field here.

01:15:23An even playing field.

01:15:25That's all we've ever asked for.

01:15:27There we go.

01:15:28There he is.

01:15:29The first international member of the NWO.

01:15:32Masa Chono.

01:15:34Masa, my hero, Chono.

01:15:36He told Masa Saito and Antonio Inoki and everybody else in New Japan,

01:15:42take your contract and stick it.

01:15:44I'm going where the action is.

01:15:47I'm going to NWO.

01:15:49Where it's happening.

01:15:50Did not go over well in Japan, I might add.

01:15:53I mean, who doesn't want to jump aboard the best thing going?

01:15:57We'll just buy them.

01:15:59Really, we can't.

01:16:00I like it.

01:16:01The way the stock market keeps going down,

01:16:03we'll probably be buying at about $0.10 on the dollar pretty soon.

01:16:06You guys know we can buy anything.

01:16:09And this is going to be great.

01:16:11Chono is going to be a part of the premier NWO exclusive pay-per-view.

01:16:18And what a beautiful night it is going to be.

01:16:21Is that Sherlock Holmes?

01:16:26He has no idea what he's in for.

01:16:28Maybe he's going fox hunting or something.

01:16:31He's in there with a wolf now.

01:16:33Sherlock, I got your Watson, okay?

01:16:38And Chono doing, you know, what he thinks is the right thing to do.

01:16:41He's here in the United States.

01:16:42He knows he's a guest.

01:16:43Extends his hand.

01:16:44Exactly.

01:16:45And attacks when the guy turns his back.

01:16:47It's a thing of beauty.

01:16:48That's when the NWO thing kicks in.

01:16:51You know, I think that right there just shows how Western the Japanese have become.

01:16:56Jericho.

01:16:58Oh.

01:16:59Oh, Jericho.

01:17:01Are you watching?

01:17:03You know, Jericho needs a beating because, you know,

01:17:06it wasn't enough that Nick Patrick beat him up severely,

01:17:09but this time here Chono's going to finish him off.

01:17:11And Dave Taylor, I mean, this guy is an international superstar in his own right.

01:17:15You can't take anything away from him.

01:17:17Dave Taylor's a great wrestler.

01:17:18But he's no match for our Chono.

01:17:20I just think that Cathy's running out of season here in Chicago in the middle of January.

01:17:25I don't know.

01:17:26Chono in control.

01:17:28Taylor up quickly.

01:17:30Taylor's very fast.

01:17:32Chono looked a little silly in that beanie hat of his, but this man can wrestle.

01:17:36And Chono can't take him lightly.

01:17:38I mean, to wear that kind of outfit, you've got to be tough, right?

01:17:40Absolutely.

01:17:42I can't get over it, guys.

01:17:43You know, we're only five days away.

01:17:45Five days away from NWO sold out.

01:17:47And they said we couldn't do it.

01:17:48Said we could not do it.

01:17:49It would never happen.

01:17:50Hey, we've got some surprises.

01:17:51I guarantee you, you people watching at home, this is going to be one of the most unique,

01:17:57one of the most memorable pay-per-views in the history of wrestling pay-per-views.

01:18:02You're going to see things you have never seen before.

01:18:05Speaking of which, the photo rights, the pictures, the letters, the Miss NWO contest,

01:18:11it is going to be, how would you guys say it?

01:18:14Sweet.

01:18:15Sweet.

01:18:16Don't say it anymore.

01:18:17Don't give it away.

01:18:18Don't give it away.

01:18:19Scott in here.

01:18:20I've got to give one for Scott.

01:18:21Scott would say it's sweet.

01:18:22Toronto, getting a little frustrated.

01:18:25Nick Patrick trying to regain some control.

01:18:28European uppercut to the top of the chest.

01:18:31Now Taylor going to the midsection.

01:18:33Irish whip.

01:18:34Or would that be an English whip?

01:18:35Well, I thought it was kind of nice that a lot of the Polaroids actually had phone numbers on it,

01:18:39which made it a lot easier for us to call them back.

01:18:41I think Buff Bagwell is working on that right now.

01:18:44Absolutely.

01:18:45He's on a callback list, so I should say.

01:18:48Boy, is Buff not just buffed up.

01:18:50Is he ready to go or what?

01:18:52Riggs is a dead man.

01:18:55Along with Paige.

01:18:57Jonah with a nice reversal.

01:19:00That'll get your attention.

01:19:03That'll wake you up better than a cold shower.

01:19:09I'm going to go into my wrestling background here.

01:19:11Here's a leg maneuver.

01:19:17They're now on a parallel base.

01:19:19That's an STF there, right?

01:19:23Masa, my hero.

01:19:26Chono.

01:19:27Chalk up another victory for the NWO.

01:19:33International superstar.

01:19:35You said it right, Eric.

01:19:37Unique is not the word.

01:19:39Nobody does it like me.

01:19:40When do I get to see my buddy beat somebody up?

01:19:45No.

01:19:46No.

01:19:47Scott Hall in action.

01:19:48Live right here tonight.

01:19:50NWO Nitro.

01:19:51Sweet.

01:20:03And here's Scotty.

01:20:07Looks like the Roman Coliseum.

01:20:09Take a look at that.

01:20:10We're going to get Booker T out here first.

01:20:15Bring out the Christian first.

01:20:16We'll send out the Lion next.

01:20:17Easy, easy.

01:20:20Look at him.

01:20:22I'll tell you what.

01:20:23These guys gave us a heck of a match in Hollywood.

01:20:26He's a good athlete.

01:20:37He's a bass fishing OG.

01:20:43He's a little wound up.

01:20:44You think he's a little upset?

01:20:45You think he's a little upset

01:20:46that he's not getting the match he thought he was going to get?

01:20:48He knows he's about to get beat up by my buddy.

01:20:52Who would be happy about that?

01:20:54Now.

01:20:55Send out the movie star.

01:20:56Here's Scotty.

01:21:02Oh, and this place erupts.

01:21:05They love him here.

01:21:07You know, he and I had a match that opened this building.

01:21:10I don't want to go into it,

01:21:11but he and I actually fought each other in this building at one time.

01:21:15You and I were talking about that last night

01:21:16while we were watching that mess of a pay-per-view.

01:21:20And by the way, we want to tell everybody,

01:21:22quit wearing the NWO merchandise to the competition

01:21:26because we feel really bad.

01:21:28We hate when that happens.

01:21:30Take a look at that sign.

01:21:31It says it all.

01:21:32NWO for life, baby.

01:21:35Look at this guy.

01:21:38The look, the size, the rap.

01:21:40I smell money.

01:21:42Ooh, I like it.

01:21:43Say it again.

01:21:44The look, the size, the rap.

01:21:45I smell money.

01:21:51Look at this.

01:21:52Look at this.

01:21:53Can you believe it?

01:21:54Harmony.

01:21:55Deja vu.

01:21:57Look at the black and white all over the United Center.

01:22:00The thing is, people are standing in their living rooms

01:22:03when you see this guy.

01:22:04This guy is the real deal.

01:22:06Nobody can create violence quite like Scotty.

01:22:09Look at that.

01:22:10A wash with NWO merchandise.

01:22:14NWO signs.

01:22:16I haven't seen this many black T-shirts

01:22:18since the 1977 Fog Hat Tour.

01:22:20What the heck?

01:22:27We appreciate it, folks.

01:22:28Keep buying them shirts.

01:22:30And what about that 900 light coming up, man?

01:22:32You got to tell me about that.

01:22:33I'll tell you right now,

01:22:34there's a lot of things going on in the NWO.

01:22:36People are sleeping with other people,

01:22:37but I can't go into it right now,

01:22:39but call me tomorrow on my hotline,

01:22:41and I'll tell you everything that's going on in the NWO.

01:22:45Easy, big boy.

01:22:47Sorry, man.

01:22:48I'm out of my mind.

01:22:49You can pay any fine I get.

01:22:53Scott Hall sizing up his opponent.

01:22:56Booker T had a definite disadvantage here

01:22:58simply because he, although he knows Scott Hall very well,

01:23:02this isn't the first time that they've had to lock up.

01:23:04He did not prepare for this match.

01:23:06He was preparing for Rick Steiner,

01:23:07and unfortunately...

01:23:08Ooh!

01:23:09Taking a little lumber there.

01:23:12Uh-oh.

01:23:13That's not...

01:23:14That's poor sportsmanship right off the bat.

01:23:16That'll cost him, too.

01:23:17There we go.

01:23:18That's going to set the tone for the match,

01:23:20and it's not necessarily the tone

01:23:21that I think Booker T wants to set.

01:23:23Oh!

01:23:24Big boot to the midsection.

01:23:28Create some violence, big man.

01:23:30Bam!

01:23:31Scott Hall's taking this serious.

01:23:32He's looking forward to tomorrow night,

01:23:34the Clash of the Champions.

01:23:35Lex Luger certainly going to be a tough matchup.

01:23:39Yes, it is.

01:23:40I mean, Luger's as hot as anybody

01:23:41in professional wrestling right now.

01:23:43And all kidding aside,

01:23:44this is a guy that no one can take lightly.

01:23:46Right.

01:23:47Oh, man!

01:23:48Did you see that hook kick?

01:23:49Did you see the speed on that hook kick?

01:23:52That was on the mark.

01:23:55Scott up quickly.

01:23:58I think you ticked my partner off.

01:24:00I think you're going to take a beating.

01:24:01This could be a little tougher than we thought.

01:24:03No, he's just getting warmed up.

01:24:06Forearm to the side of the head.

01:24:08Scott is staggered.

01:24:09Irish grip coming all the way across the hook.

01:24:11Huge collision in the center of the ring.

01:24:13My contact was in the living room.

01:24:15Come on, Scott.

01:24:17Move, yeah, baby.

01:24:18Good, good.

01:24:20Come on.

01:24:22Jump, real kick.

01:24:23Attempted there.

01:24:24Scott was smart, though.

01:24:25He moved into it.

01:24:26He stayed away from the full force of that kick.

01:24:28If he would have taken it with a heel,

01:24:30it might have put him out,

01:24:31but he's in trouble here.

01:24:32He's got more stamina on that.

01:24:36Reversal.

01:24:38Scott misses.

01:24:40And catches the pick.

01:24:41Look at the power.

01:24:42SOS, baby.

01:24:44Yes.

01:24:46Take that.

01:24:47And this crowd, capacity crowd,

01:24:4919,000 plus people on their feet here at the United Center.

01:24:54A record, 17,000 paid.

01:24:56A little something we like to call the career ender.

01:25:00This is great.

01:25:01It'll do it, too.

01:25:03Pure adrenaline.

01:25:04Tomorrow night is going to be phenomenal,

01:25:06but Saturday night,

01:25:08NWO sold out.

01:25:09180 cross body block off the top rope.

01:25:11Referee's in position.

01:25:12Quick count.

01:25:13Come on.

01:25:14No, he got out of it.

01:25:16Quick count by Nick Patrick.

01:25:18Come on.

01:25:19Easy, easy.

01:25:23And now.

01:25:25See, never take your eye off your opponent.

01:25:28People know what this is.

01:25:29It's a little haul edge.

01:25:31Buff having a few words with,

01:25:32oh, look it, here we go.

01:25:34Outsider edge.

01:25:36Fia.

01:25:38Is he going to get it?

01:25:39Is he going to get it?

01:25:40He got it.

01:25:42And listen to this crowd.

01:25:44Scott Hall is too sweet.

01:25:48I love it.

01:25:50I love it.

01:25:52I hope you're watching, Luger.

01:25:54And you people at home,

01:25:55get a good look.

01:25:57And guess what?

01:26:00Hollywood's in the house.

01:26:03Hollywood is in the house.

01:26:05You know what?

01:26:07Every day I see Hollywood,

01:26:08it just makes me smile.

01:26:10I've become pretty good friends with this guy.

01:26:11This guy's a great guy.

01:26:13People are,

01:26:14the people that aren't with him

01:26:15are really just kind of disenchanted.

01:26:17He's beautiful.

01:26:19I love you, man.

01:26:20He's beautiful.

01:27:23Oh, it's the other one.

01:27:24That's the other one.

01:27:25It's Stevie.

01:27:26Yeah, I saw the graphic.

01:27:28I think you're right, Eric.

01:27:29You know something?

01:27:30This NWO sold-out,

01:27:31I don't think I've been this excited

01:27:32since maybe the third Christmas

01:27:34of my life.

01:27:35You know what I mean?

01:27:36You get that feeling.

01:27:37My stomach's in knots.

01:27:38I just cannot wait.

01:27:40Oh, yeah.

01:27:41You're gonna get through

01:27:42Lex Luger and come and get us.

01:27:45What exactly is neck bone

01:27:47and is there actually anything

01:27:48on a neck bone that you can eat?

01:27:50I don't know.

01:27:51I don't think so.

01:27:52I haven't tried one.

01:27:56Lex Luger,

01:27:57the man who will be facing

01:27:59one half of the most devastating

01:28:01tag team combination

01:28:03in the history of WWE.

01:28:05The Outsiders.

01:28:09Let's get it out of the way.

01:28:10Yeah, Luger looks great.

01:28:11Yeah, he's ripped.

01:28:12He's shredded.

01:28:13He's huge.

01:28:14He's big.

01:28:15He's pumped.

01:28:16I'd still like to bash him

01:28:17in the side of the head

01:28:18with a chair.

01:28:19Yeah, tomorrow,

01:28:20he's gonna get dropped

01:28:21like a bad habit.

01:28:23Bowls all you want, baby,

01:28:24because tomorrow,

01:28:25my buddy's gonna be on top

01:28:26of the 1, 2, 3.

01:28:30This is the

01:28:31most devastating

01:28:32tag team combination

01:28:34This is the

01:28:35leader

01:28:37of WCW.

01:28:40The total package.

01:28:41Cool shirt.

01:28:42I tell you right now,

01:28:43each and every week,

01:28:44I despise this guy

01:28:45a little bit more.

01:28:48A body like that,

01:28:49though, you can't be having

01:28:50too much fun.

01:28:51I could look like that,

01:28:52but I'd have to give up

01:28:53too many things I enjoy in life.

01:28:54Absolutely.

01:28:56One of them has a pop top.

01:28:57What the heck?

01:29:03The man who would be

01:29:04the leader

01:29:05of WCW,

01:29:06now the stinger,

01:29:07and apparently,

01:29:08it looks like Savage

01:29:09finally figured

01:29:10if you can't beat him,

01:29:11join him.

01:29:12Exactly.

01:29:13That's how I read it.

01:29:14I don't know about you guys.

01:29:15I mean, you know,

01:29:16it took a while

01:29:17to beat it in the page,

01:29:18you know,

01:29:19and he still, you know,

01:29:20did the old end around,

01:29:21but Savage took such a beating

01:29:22for so long from us.

01:29:23You know, he came back

01:29:24and said,

01:29:25hey, I'm not going

01:29:26through this again.

01:29:27I'm getting on the winning team.

01:29:28Somebody watch Luger here.

01:29:30Do not manhandle the referee.

01:29:33Stevie.

01:29:34Stevie took care of that for us.

01:29:35Thanks, Stevie.

01:29:36Yeah, right.

01:29:37When are these guys

01:29:38going to learn not to talk?

01:29:39Turn their back on the opponent.

01:29:40Stevie Ray going after Lex Luger.

01:29:43Luger turned his back

01:29:44on his opponent.

01:29:45A little bit too preoccupied

01:29:46by the NWL.

01:29:47A big mistake.

01:29:48A lot of people are making it.

01:29:50Stevie Ray's a big cat, man.

01:29:54He's big.

01:29:55He's aggressive.

01:29:56Big dude.

01:29:57All the way big dude.

01:29:58Here he goes again.

01:30:00Definitely going to have to

01:30:01make a big statement.

01:30:04How do you want to do it?

01:30:05You name it.

01:30:07Surprise is our element.

01:30:09Everybody tune in.

01:30:15Lex Luger now going to work.

01:30:18You can just take one look

01:30:19at his back, his shoulders.

01:30:21He's got scars all over him.

01:30:22You know, he's been in the street.

01:30:24This guy knows how to fight.

01:30:25Oh, yeah.

01:30:26He's not timid.

01:30:27Hey, you know what?

01:30:28Teddy.

01:30:29Vincent.

01:30:30Man, Hollywood's coming out

01:30:31here in a little bit.

01:30:32You guys go check in with Hollywood.

01:30:33Let's make sure everything's

01:30:34safe and secure for Hollywood.

01:30:36Not a problem.

01:30:37Six, jump on in here, man.

01:30:38Tell us what you're going to do.

01:30:39Ted, send Hollywood my love.

01:30:40You got it.

01:30:41We'll be seeing you.

01:30:44Lex Luger into the guide rail.

01:30:50I'm still tired of WCW

01:30:51throwing that horseman

01:30:52merchandise out for free

01:30:53so it gets on camera.

01:30:55Nobody's buying it.

01:30:56Quit even showing it.

01:30:58What a kick to the ribs.

01:31:00You know, Stevie Ray

01:31:01did us a little favor there

01:31:02with the Irish whip

01:31:03into the guard rail

01:31:04hurting Luger's back.

01:31:05It doesn't bother us at all.

01:31:07I mean, it makes it that much

01:31:08tougher to rack somebody

01:31:10with a broken floating rib,

01:31:12you know?

01:31:13Absolutely.

01:31:16It's Luger back in the ring.

01:31:18Stevie Ray's doing a little bit

01:31:19better than his partner

01:31:20did a little while ago.

01:31:22Six, great to have you.

01:31:24Hey, Six.

01:31:25It's good to be here, Kevin.

01:31:27You know, Six,

01:31:28last time we were talking

01:31:29on here, you said you had

01:31:30a win over Jim Duggan,

01:31:31you know?

01:31:32And I had forgotten,

01:31:33but you do have a win

01:31:34over Jim Duggan.

01:31:35I do.

01:31:36And I want to clarify that.

01:31:37It was a heck of a win, too.

01:31:39Luger coming on now.

01:31:40Uh-oh.

01:31:41This is the Luger

01:31:42we do not want to see.

01:31:43No, we don't like this guy.

01:31:46Go home, Lex.

01:31:48He hoisted him up

01:31:49quite easy, man.

01:31:50That is...

01:31:51This is not...

01:31:52This is not a good thing.

01:31:53Lex Luger, we do not like you.

01:31:58Hey!

01:32:00What?

01:32:01A win's not good enough

01:32:02for you?

01:32:03What do you want?

01:32:04You want to get

01:32:05perfect scores

01:32:06on the post now?

01:32:07Go to the back,

01:32:08take a shower,

01:32:09get out of here

01:32:10before I come back

01:32:11and smack you out.

01:32:12You know how this guy is, Kev.

01:32:13What a prima donna.

01:32:14We know this guy

01:32:15from way back.

01:32:16Yeah, what a prima donna.

01:32:17He's no good.

01:32:18I'm so sick of him.

01:32:19I don't want to see

01:32:20a slow-mo.

01:32:21They're telling me

01:32:22we're going to see a slow-mo.

01:32:23I'm going to have to have words

01:32:25with some director

01:32:26after the show.

01:32:27What, a slow-mo

01:32:28of the torture act?

01:32:29Too bad you couldn't

01:32:30fire this guy

01:32:31right before Christmas.

01:32:33Oh, he let his hair down.

01:32:34That's a little something

01:32:35for the ladies.

01:32:36Get out of here.

01:32:37All right,

01:32:38here's another look.

01:32:40While we were thinking

01:32:41that perhaps Luger

01:32:42might have hurt his back

01:32:43going up against

01:32:44the guardrail,

01:32:45he got a little momentum going,

01:32:47set Stevie Ray up,

01:32:48and as you can tell,

01:32:50absolutely nothing wrong

01:32:52with Lex Luger.

01:32:53He is stronger than ever.

01:32:56Nothing wrong with him yet.

01:32:57Not good.

01:32:58He's not good.

01:32:59We've got 24 hours

01:33:00between now and the clash.

01:33:02A lot can happen

01:33:03to a guy in Chicago.

01:33:04Anything.

01:33:05You know,

01:33:06you've got to watch out

01:33:07exactly where you go to.

01:33:08Look at that.

01:33:09Oh, yes!

01:33:10Oh, and this place

01:33:11doesn't come unglued,

01:33:12and this icon

01:33:13shows his pretty face.

01:33:14Oh, yes!

01:33:17Hey, do they love us here

01:33:18or what?

01:33:19Oh, they love us,

01:33:20and who doesn't love us?

01:33:21Our hero!

01:33:23There he is.

01:33:24There he is.

01:33:26Sweet!

01:33:28Listen to this capacity crowd!

01:33:31They are all standing,

01:33:33cheering,

01:33:34tears in their eyes.

01:33:36The icon of icons.

01:33:39The world's richest beach bum

01:33:41right there.

01:33:46I tell you,

01:33:47it looks like the roof

01:33:48is about ready to come off

01:33:49this place, huh?

01:33:50The roof.

01:33:51The roof.

01:33:52The roof.

01:33:53The roof is on fire.

01:33:55We don't need no water,

01:33:57lead, whatever.

01:33:58I forget how the rest of the

01:33:59thing goes.

01:34:00Let us not digress,

01:34:02gentlemen.

01:34:05NWO for life.

01:34:06A very nice Windy City

01:34:07plantage.

01:34:12Isn't it sweet?

01:34:13That's an old picture

01:34:14of Teddy

01:34:15with that, like,

01:34:16feathered, highlighted

01:34:17thing going there.

01:34:18What about that thing?

01:34:20It's still sweet, though.

01:34:21It's sweet.

01:34:23NWO's just sweet.

01:34:24Look at how he is.

01:34:26Is he going to annihilate

01:34:27that giant or what?

01:34:29Again!

01:34:30Again!

01:34:31There's another guy

01:34:32that does it.

01:34:33You know,

01:34:34the giants,

01:34:35all these guys are like

01:34:36the kid that puts

01:34:37their hand on the burner.

01:34:38I mean, they keep

01:34:39putting it on.

01:34:40Gee, it's still hot.

01:34:41No kidding.

01:34:42They're going to take a beating.

01:34:43If they hung the giant

01:34:44for being a smart guy,

01:34:46they'd be hanging

01:34:47an innocent man.

01:34:52Play that air guitar.

01:34:54Come on, Hollywood.

01:34:57Oh, he's just too much.

01:34:59Is this guy cutting edge

01:35:00or what?

01:35:01He's dead spotlights

01:35:02on everyone.

01:35:03He's messing up

01:35:04everybody in the band.

01:35:07The icon,

01:35:08the only icon

01:35:09of professional wrestling

01:35:11that's got something

01:35:12to tell you.

01:35:15You know something,

01:35:16Trillionaire Ted?

01:35:17They told me

01:35:18when I was coming

01:35:19down the aisle

01:35:20that they wanted to see

01:35:22Hollywood's pythons, brother.

01:35:24So hang on

01:35:25for one second.

01:35:26Oh, yes.

01:35:27Drum roll, please.

01:35:28Let him have it.

01:35:29He's been training hard.

01:35:30Look, he's...

01:35:31Oh, that's magnificent.

01:35:32He's shredded.

01:35:33He is...

01:35:34Oh, my God.

01:35:35Oh, man.

01:35:36He does have

01:35:37some gigantic arms, man.

01:35:39He's been training hard.

01:35:41Hanging and banging

01:35:42is only the H-wood can.

01:35:44See a lot of people

01:35:45in Hollywood

01:35:46trying to copy

01:35:47the beard style?

01:35:48No.

01:35:49Trillionaire Ted,

01:35:50when we hit

01:35:51the Windy City

01:35:52last night, brah,

01:35:53the people

01:35:54thought it was

01:35:55a 747

01:35:56coming in

01:35:57for a crash landing

01:35:58in O'Hare,

01:35:59but the bottom line,

01:36:00we had

01:36:01a little

01:36:02mechanical failure,

01:36:03so I just

01:36:04punched out

01:36:05some holes

01:36:06in the first-class

01:36:07cast

01:36:08and it was

01:36:09a 747

01:36:10coming in

01:36:11for a crash landing

01:36:12in O'Hare.

01:36:13I was in

01:36:14the first-class

01:36:15cabin

01:36:16and I

01:36:17used the

01:36:18pythons

01:36:19for a set of

01:36:20wings

01:36:21on the 747,

01:36:22so don't

01:36:23panic.

01:36:24There's not

01:36:25a natural disaster.

01:36:26Traps down.

01:36:27It was just

01:36:28the shadow

01:36:29of the pythons

01:36:30coming over

01:36:31O'Hare.

01:36:32And you know
