00:00:00live from Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:00:06It's Clash of the Champions.
00:00:11Tonight, the commissioner has appointed the guardian angel to uphold law and order.
00:00:16Will Sting get a chance to avenge the avalanche?
00:00:19The stakes are high.
00:00:21Newly crowned WCW World Tag Team Champions,
00:00:24Harlem Heat, will have their first title defense.
00:00:27Odds are that Stars and Stripes are ready for revenge.
00:00:31Johnny B Van has found his ace in the hole.
00:00:33The fans have spoken through the WCW hotline.
00:00:37Arn Anderson will have to put up the WCW TV title.
00:00:41You'll see high flyers Beautiful Barbie and Alex Wright soar to new heights.
00:00:46We'll also show you Das Wunderkind's video debut.
00:00:49It was a gamble, but the WCW World Champion Hulk Hogan found his surprise
00:00:54was a shake of the hand and not a slap in the face from Macho Man Randy Savage.
00:00:59Faces of fear, Kevin Sullivan and The Butcher,
00:01:02are going for broke when they climb in the ring against Monster Mania.
00:01:06But beware, the awesome Vader has purchased two tickets at ringside
00:01:10to see Hulk Hogan up close and personal.
00:01:13And rumor has it, Ric Flair may make an appearance tonight.
00:01:17Live from Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada, it's Clash of the Champions.
00:01:23And you are looking live at the entertainment capital of Las Vegas.
00:01:30Yes, the Clash of the Champions is on the air.
00:01:35This is an historic night.
00:01:37It's the 30th Clash of the Champions live on DBS and the 20th anniversary
00:01:42of this great sports pavilion at Caesars Palace on the strip in Las Vegas.
00:01:47Hi, everyone.
00:01:48Along with Bobby the Brain Heenan and Mean Gene Oakland, I'm Tony Schiavone.
00:01:52We are on the air.
00:01:53And what a tremendous tag team main event that we have.
00:01:57Later on in the telecast, the Monster Maniacs are together,
00:02:00Hulk Hogan and the Macho Man Randy Savage,
00:02:02against two of the three Faces of Fear, Kevin Sullivan and The Butcher, Mean Gene.
00:02:06That is going to be a huge match, Tony Schiavone.
00:02:08But let me point out, they say five matches on this great schedule tonight.
00:02:12But there may be more.
00:02:13As you know, Hardy, Race, and Vader have bought two ringside seats.
00:02:18They're in the building.
00:02:19Also in the house, I hear, is the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
00:02:23Put him into the mix, and we have got one fantastic evening at hand.
00:02:28Well, you know, the last time The Butcher got his hands on Hulk Hogan,
00:02:31he put him to sleep.
00:02:33Well, this is a city that never sleeps.
00:02:35Hogan, you better have your jammies on, because you're going to bed real early.
00:02:38And yes, the man is in the building, Ric Flair.
00:02:42Woo!
00:02:43Let's go to Gary Capetta.
00:02:46Ladies and gentlemen, this first contest on the Clash of the Champions,
00:02:50it is the match that WCW fans across the country
00:02:55voted for during our interactive program,
00:02:58the one you asked for, for the World Television Championship.
00:03:04It is set for one fall with a 15-minute time limit.
00:03:09Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by the greatest promoter
00:03:13on the face of the earth, Colonel Robert Parker,
00:03:17along with Ming from Minnesota.
00:03:20Weighing 248 pounds, the World Television Champion,
00:03:27the enforcer, Arne Anderson.
00:03:34Well, the World Television Championship is on the line.
00:03:37It is sold out at the Sports Pavilion here at Caesars Palace,
00:03:40the 20th anniversary of this great event.
00:03:44Let's go back to Gary Capetta.
00:03:45And ladies and gentlemen, the challenger in this contest
00:03:49for the World TV title.
00:03:52He's from Macon, Georgia.
00:03:54He weighs 235 pounds and says he's the prettiest
00:04:00in world championship wrestling.
00:04:03Johnny B. Brown.
00:04:08Well, bringing the former champion, Johnny B. Brown,
00:04:11making his way to the ring.
00:04:12And like Gary Capetta said, and like we heard at the top,
00:04:15this is the match fans demanded.
00:04:18The return bout on the WCW Wrestling Hotline.
00:04:21Because it was back on the 8th of January on a Sunday night,
00:04:26Arne Anderson won the television title.
00:04:28He cheated to get the win.
00:04:30And the fans demanded the rematch.
00:04:32And here we have it in the Clash of the Champions.
00:04:35Oh, he cheated to win it, right?
00:04:36Yeah, I was gonna say that.
00:04:37You gotta throw that in, huh, Shivani?
00:04:39Arne Anderson's the television champion.
00:04:41And I predict he's gonna keep it.
00:04:46One fall, 15 minutes, like Gary Capetta said,
00:04:48for the World Television title.
00:04:53WCW has invaded the entertainment capital
00:04:56world, Las Vegas.
00:04:57And Johnny B. Brown's gonna explode another bad blaster.
00:05:00It's been a great week for us.
00:05:02The superstars have been here at Caesars Palace
00:05:05at the Nappy Convention.
00:05:07Now he's gonna get us all for that chunk.
00:05:10The convention with the television producers
00:05:13and executives from around the country.
00:05:16And you know, everyone was talking about the match
00:05:18with Hogan and Savage, the Mega Maniacs, Monster Maniacs,
00:05:23whatever they call themselves.
00:05:26There you see Nick Patrick, the referee,
00:05:28holding up the World Television title belt,
00:05:29a belt that Arne Anderson has held a couple of times.
00:05:32This is yet another title reign for the Nappy Convention.
00:05:35This is yet another title reign for the Enforcer
00:05:38against a very fired up Johnny B. Badd.
00:05:40Johnny B. Badd won the television title
00:05:42back in September at Fall Brawl
00:05:43when he defeated Lord Steven Regal.
00:05:45And at that time, it was the birthday of his mother.
00:05:49Oh, isn't that touching?
00:05:51Well, anyway-
00:05:51It's his mommy's birthday.
00:05:52May I continue?
00:05:53Go ahead.
00:05:54He celebrated the birthday
00:05:55with a World Television title win.
00:05:57His mother and father and his whole family,
00:05:59they're all here tonight to watch Johnny B. Badd
00:06:03all eyes the world on this man,
00:06:05and the challenger to regain the television belt.
00:06:07Well, now he's fighting for his pride.
00:06:09He's fighting for his family.
00:06:11He wants to win the title in front of momsy and daddy.
00:06:14Isn't that touching?
00:06:15Makes me sick.
00:06:17But this is nothing different for Arne Anderson.
00:06:18He's been there before,
00:06:20and this man knows what to do.
00:06:22Johnny B. Badd.
00:06:23Arne Anderson does not want to get in a fist to cuff event
00:06:26with Johnny B. Badd, big knee lift.
00:06:28Anderson goes down.
00:06:30But you notice he's smart enough to go back to the corner.
00:06:33He's gonna make Johnny B. Badd wrestle
00:06:35his match, not Johnny B. Badd.
00:06:41Anderson slowing things down now
00:06:42as he stays in his corner,
00:06:44and Badd has the advantage.
00:06:46It's great to have you with us
00:06:48wherever you are watching this event live on TBS.
00:06:51We thank you for a great 1994,
00:06:54and of course 1995 is gonna be tremendous for WCW.
00:06:59In the back, Arne Anderson, double ax handle,
00:07:01and now the laces of the boots across the eyes.
00:07:04Pound on him.
00:07:06Make him wrestle your match.
00:07:08Do it, Arne.
00:07:09As only you can do, my friend.
00:07:11Driving the knee up on top.
00:07:13Big drop kick, and Arne Anderson goes on the floor.
00:07:17That's a disqualification, isn't it?
00:07:19He drop kicked a man off the top rope.
00:07:21That's like throwing a man over the top rope,
00:07:23as far as I'm concerned.
00:07:23Yeah, as far as you're concerned.
00:07:24Maybe so.
00:07:25Here he goes again.
00:07:26And he lands on Colonel Parker,
00:07:27and he lands on Arne Anderson.
00:07:29Johnny B. Badd is pumped and ready
00:07:30for this world television title match.
00:07:35The big double ax handle from the top.
00:07:38He makes a quick cover.
00:07:39One, two.
00:07:40No, sir.
00:07:41Two count, he's out of it.
00:07:43Boy, Johnny B. Badd has come to wrestle.
00:07:45Hasn't he, Brain?
00:07:46Well, he's doing all those high-risk moves,
00:07:48and obviously he wants the title back.
00:07:50He wants it real bad.
00:07:51Well, he's gonna hurt himself.
00:07:53It's a very dangerous match.
00:07:54You're very dangerous to be in it
00:07:55with a man like Arne Anderson.
00:07:56But to try those high-risk moves,
00:07:58Anderson will ground you at any opportunity.
00:08:01Reach up.
00:08:02Go ahead.
00:08:03Go ahead.
00:08:03Interrupt me.
00:08:05You finished?
00:08:06No.
00:08:07Well, then go on.
00:08:08No, go ahead.
00:08:08Into the ropes now with a top.
00:08:11Arne drags, and Arne Anderson goes down again in 1994.
00:08:17WCW had the only wrestling program
00:08:19to break the top 100 in cable programs during the year.
00:08:24So we thank you for 1994, and of course 1995,
00:08:27with this clash of the champions being here in Las Vegas
00:08:30with the superstars.
00:08:32We're off and running, Brain.
00:08:33Well, I know everybody yesterday at the convention,
00:08:35I was over there for about four or five hours.
00:08:36All they talked about was WCW and TBS.
00:08:42Oh!
00:08:44We saw that one coming, but Anderson did not!
00:08:47Two only, and Anderson's up in two.
00:08:49That's real close.
00:08:52And that time, Johnny B. Battle,
00:08:53a little bit too close to Arne Anderson.
00:08:54That's one of the trademarks of Arne Anderson.
00:08:57When you think you got him down,
00:08:58when he's reeling out all of some offense,
00:09:00he comes back with a move like that.
00:09:04Uh-oh.
00:09:05Uh-oh.
00:09:06Uh-oh.
00:09:08Elbow drop.
00:09:09Johnny B. Battle's come to fight.
00:09:12Rolls him over, one, two!
00:09:14Got a two count.
00:09:16What a way to begin the Clash of the Champions.
00:09:18Five tremendous matches.
00:09:20We have the World Tag Team title still to come
00:09:23in this program.
00:09:24Two high flyers going at it.
00:09:25He's got him!
00:09:26He caught him!
00:09:27Johnny B. Battle using the top rope again.
00:09:30If you put that man's throat back on the rope,
00:09:31he'll go back to the top rope.
00:09:32Remember, Arne.
00:09:34He's got to beat you.
00:09:35You don't have to beat him to become champion.
00:09:36You are the television champion.
00:09:38So make him wrestle your match, my friend.
00:09:42The television championship, of course,
00:09:44a championship designed to be defended on television.
00:09:47And you're right.
00:09:48The rules, since it's a television championship,
00:09:51usually only go to 10 to 15 minutes.
00:09:53This is a 15 minute time limit.
00:09:54So a short time limit.
00:09:56A lot of times, it has happened.
00:09:57The champion would put the match
00:10:00in the deep freeze, so to speak.
00:10:02Oh!
00:10:04Colonel Parker trying his punting ability.
00:10:06I don't think the Chargers or the 49ers
00:10:09need him to send it.
00:10:10If Dallas could kick like that,
00:10:11they'd be in the Super Bowl.
00:10:15Now it's your turn, Arne.
00:10:16You put the boots to him.
00:10:18The whip to the far side.
00:10:19Oh!
00:10:20In the gut, Arne Anderson measured him,
00:10:22and that was on target.
00:10:24But one thing you don't want to do, Shibani,
00:10:25you don't want to get in a punching match
00:10:27with Johnny B. Battle.
00:10:29The man's hands are so quick,
00:10:30he can hit you with like a four to six inch punch.
00:10:33He can just level you.
00:10:34You got to stay away from his punching.
00:10:38Two count, and Arne Anderson with his.
00:10:43See, now my strategy would be go the time limit.
00:10:45Stay by the ropes.
00:10:47Let him try to beat you.
00:10:48But do not get in the middle of the ring
00:10:51with Johnny B. Battle.
00:10:51And stay away from his punching.
00:10:53Just go the time limit.
00:10:55Simple.
00:10:56Just using your brain.
00:10:58The fans chanting, Johnny, Johnny.
00:11:01This event has been sold out for weeks.
00:11:07Of course, it's the talk of the strip.
00:11:09Oh, what a knee!
00:11:13And the cover.
00:11:14This could be it, Anderson.
00:11:16That time he didn't hook a leg,
00:11:18and it's enabling Johnny B. Battle
00:11:19to kick out easily twice in a row,
00:11:20even though they got a two count both times.
00:11:22What do you think's going through Hogan's mind right now,
00:11:24knowing that Vader has bought two tickets?
00:11:27Have you seen him yet?
00:11:28I haven't seen Vader.
00:11:29I know he's here.
00:11:30He's gotta be here.
00:11:31He says he's gonna do something.
00:11:32He doesn't.
00:11:35The corner.
00:11:35Oh, elbow.
00:11:37Right on the jaw.
00:11:39Anderson now.
00:11:41Little high risk maneuver by this guy.
00:11:43He caught the leg.
00:11:43Oh, an elbow.
00:11:44Got him good.
00:11:45He got him good.
00:11:47Great anticipation by Arne Anderson.
00:11:49That time from the middle turnbuckle.
00:11:51Saw the leg coming up.
00:11:52Put the brakes on.
00:11:53Got the elbow.
00:11:54And showing his quickness as well, Breen.
00:11:55See, like you say.
00:11:58Just when you think you got him, he gets you.
00:11:59And he got face first to the turnbuckle that time.
00:12:02And now Baird rebounding a little bit here.
00:12:05Keep your back to him.
00:12:06Stay in the corner.
00:12:07Oh!
00:12:08Johnny B. Baird.
00:12:10Great endurance.
00:12:13Back body drop.
00:12:16Clothesline.
00:12:18And again.
00:12:21He's wasting too much time though.
00:12:22You can't do that with Arne Anderson.
00:12:24You gotta beat him as quick as you can.
00:12:27The whip to the far side.
00:12:28Anderson trying to pick him up.
00:12:29Oh!
00:12:30It's on head scissors.
00:12:32And Baird, he's going for the knockout punch.
00:12:35Here it comes!
00:12:36Behind you, behind you!
00:12:37Here it comes!
00:12:37He got him!
00:12:39Anderson's out!
00:12:43He's got a 10 count, or 20.
00:12:44What is it?
00:12:45He's got a 10 count.
00:12:4610 count.
00:12:47Wait a minute.
00:12:48Colonel Parker.
00:12:48He's got the water.
00:12:49He's got the ice water.
00:12:50And he's...
00:12:52He knocked him smack dab out,
00:12:53but Colonel Parker reviving him.
00:12:54Ming has the referee.
00:12:56This could be a 10 count.
00:12:57Boy, he's on close to macro.
00:12:59But of course, Johnny B. Baird
00:13:00would not win on a count out here.
00:13:02Johnny B. Baird lays a hand on Parker.
00:13:04Ming is gonna knock those little,
00:13:06cute little trunks he's got on,
00:13:08right down to his knees.
00:13:09Ming rolling Arne Anderson back in.
00:13:12Anderson is there.
00:13:14Here comes Baird.
00:13:15Arne Anderson with a DDT!
00:13:17He got the DDT on a one, two, three!
00:13:20He got him!
00:13:21He got him!
00:13:22Ladies and gentlemen,
00:13:23the winner and still World Television Champion,
00:13:28The Enforcer, Arne Anderson!
00:13:35Wow.
00:13:37All by myself.
00:13:38All by yourself.
00:13:39By golly, that's wrong.
00:13:41Thanks to Ming getting the referee's attention,
00:13:43Arne Anderson could have lost that by a count out,
00:13:45because he was out on the floor.
00:13:46Take a good look at this, little world.
00:13:48Take a good look at this, Vegas.
00:13:50Arne Anderson retains the WCW Television Championship
00:13:54once again for the one, two, three count, Shivani.
00:13:58Arne Anderson is your winner,
00:13:59and now standing by is Ming Gene O'Connor
00:14:02in the locker room area.
00:14:03Gene.
00:14:06Well, we've just seen a wild one
00:14:08for the World Television title.
00:14:09I'm back in the locker room right now
00:14:11with the Faces of Fear.
00:14:12Butcher and Kevin Sullivan.
00:14:14And gentlemen, just moments from now,
00:14:16we'll be back with the World Television Championship.
00:14:18Gentlemen, just moments from now
00:14:20here at the Clash of Champions Live in Las Vegas,
00:14:22you're gonna be facing Hulk Hogan
00:14:24and the Macho Band, Randy Savage.
00:14:26Collectively, they are the Monster Maniacs.
00:14:29Collectively, they're in real trouble.
00:14:32This is the Faces of Fear.
00:14:34And Gene, you know me very well.
00:14:37We're not going into this unprepared.
00:14:41You see, it seems to be tilted all on our side now, Gene.
00:14:46Ric Flair, we hear, is gonna be in the audience.
00:14:49It's true.
00:14:49We also know that there are two seats
00:14:52reserved for the Vader Man.
00:14:54Is that true?
00:14:55That is absolutely correct.
00:14:56And I also think, as Hogan,
00:14:58I made a deal with Savage a long time ago.
00:15:02So it is this.
00:15:03Just like it happened to Julius Caesar,
00:15:06you are surrounded by friends.
00:15:08And you know what happens
00:15:10to friends that have been surrounded?
00:15:12They're gonna get stabbed in the back.
00:15:15Butcher, I wanna get your side of this
00:15:16because you know very well what Hulk Hogan
00:15:18and the Macho Man are capable of.
00:15:21Well, you know something?
00:15:22I heard that Vader's gonna be sitting at ringside
00:15:25because he wants to be there
00:15:27just in case he's gotta interfere
00:15:30and pull Kevin Sullivan and myself off of Hulk Hogan
00:15:34so there's an itsy bitsy little piece left
00:15:38so he can bash it at Super Brawl.
00:15:41So you know what we got planned for these guys?
00:15:44It's not gonna be pretty.
00:15:46So all you people better be ready
00:15:48for the splash and the gust
00:15:50that's gonna be coming out of the ring
00:15:52when we squash these two clowns,
00:15:54what do they call themselves, the Monster Maniacs?
00:15:58He does not paint a very pretty picture, Kevin Sullivan.
00:16:00And the picture I paint is worse
00:16:02because it's gonna be painted in blood.
00:16:03Hogan, Savage, it's gonna be painted in your blood.
00:16:07You owe me something, Savage.
00:16:09And Hogan, if I was you,
00:16:11I wouldn't have eyes any place else but in my back.
00:16:16Don't worry what's coming in front of you.
00:16:18Can I ask you a question?
00:16:19Have you talked to Vader, Harley Race, or Rick?
00:16:21It's none of your business who I talk to.
00:16:24Well, the reason I'm here is to ask questions.
00:16:26Gentlemen, I thank you very much.
00:16:27Butcher and Kevin Sullivan meeting the Monster Maniacs.
00:16:31That's Hulk Hogan and of course the Macho Man,
00:16:34Randy Savage, right here at the Clash of Champions.
00:16:37We've got more on TBS when we come back.
00:17:11Back live on the Clash of the Champions,
00:17:13just about set for Beautiful Bobby and Alex Wright.
00:17:15But before we go there, a very special video.
00:17:18Look at the Sensational Wunderkind from Germany.
00:17:21♪♪
00:17:31♪♪
00:18:01♪♪
00:18:31♪♪
00:18:41♪♪
00:18:51♪♪
00:18:58Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest
00:19:00on the Clash of the Champions.
00:19:02It is set for one fall.
00:19:04Introducing first, he's from Huntsville, Alabama.
00:19:09He weighs 233 pounds,
00:19:13Beautiful Bobby!
00:19:19The man who's the opponent for the man we just saw.
00:19:22A special video look at the Wunderkind Alex Wright.
00:19:24Here is the ultimate high flyer, I guess,
00:19:27in this sport, Beautiful Bobby Bray.
00:19:29Well, he was kind of the man that invented it all.
00:19:31He can do it all. He's done it all.
00:19:33And the Wunderpunk is undefeated.
00:19:35It's all gonna end in a very short time,
00:19:38courtesy of Beautiful Bobby.
00:19:40During the break, fans, we were informed that a match
00:19:42has been signed, a very special match
00:19:44for this coming Saturday night.
00:19:46We will have that announcement.
00:19:48We will have that announcement coming up,
00:19:50and we will have the Wunderkind Alex Wright
00:19:53and his announcement in the next match
00:19:56coming up right after this timeout
00:19:58live from Caesars Palace in Las Vegas
00:20:00on the Clash of the Champions.
00:20:01Whoo!
00:20:03♪♪♪
00:20:10Fans, before we go back to the ring,
00:20:12a major announcement to make.
00:20:14Commissioner Nick Bockley had just signed
00:20:16for this Saturday.
00:20:17Arn Anderson will defend the world television title
00:20:20against the Macho Man Randy Savage,
00:20:236.05 Eastern time this Saturday here on TBS.
00:20:26Well, normally, if I was Arn Anderson,
00:20:27I'd be concerned, but who says Savage
00:20:29is ever gonna be out of the hospital in time
00:20:31for next Saturday night?
00:20:32Let's go to Gary Kopeta.
00:20:34And, ladies and gentlemen,
00:20:36the opponent of Beautiful Bobby Eaton.
00:20:39He's from Nuremberg, Germany.
00:20:41He weighs 221 pounds,
00:20:44and he is Germany's youngest professional wrestler,
00:20:48the undefeated Das Wunderkind Alex Wright.
00:20:5618 years of age.
00:20:58Gary Kopeta said he was Germany's youngest
00:21:00professional wrestler,
00:21:01and, of course, he's WCW's youngest superstar,
00:21:05Das Wunderkind Alex Wright.
00:21:07Das Wunderpunk is what it should be.
00:21:09I guess last night he went to Planet Hollywood
00:21:11and almost caused a riot.
00:21:13People were leaving their tables.
00:21:14They were running over to autographs.
00:21:15The women were screaming.
00:21:16What do they see in this punk?
00:21:18I do not know.
00:21:20He is quite a sensation,
00:21:21and what an athlete.
00:21:23Alex Wright!
00:21:26He's a dancer. He's Denny Dario.
00:21:28By golly, he can dance.
00:21:31He can't dance.
00:21:32What do you mean he can't dance?
00:21:34I can dance better than that.
00:21:36You can?
00:21:37Of course I can.
00:21:38Will you dance for us this coming Saturday
00:21:41on WCW Saturday Night?
00:21:43I might. I might.
00:21:45If the mood strikes me.
00:21:47Okay, there's another reason to tune in.
00:21:49Brain may dance this Saturday.
00:21:51I taught Michael Jackson the moonwalk.
00:21:56That's a good one.
00:21:57All right, the neutral position.
00:21:59Beautiful Bobby, like we said.
00:22:00Maybe the greatest high flyer in the sports ever known.
00:22:03At least one of them.
00:22:04There's no question about that.
00:22:05Boy, the drama that's building in this town.
00:22:08Hogan's in town.
00:22:09Vader's hunting Hogan.
00:22:11Ric Flair is going to be on the premises.
00:22:15I mean, what more could you ask for here at WCW?
00:22:18And, of course, Alex Wright had a big win
00:22:21against Jan Palavec at Starrcade.
00:22:22That was his biggest match to date.
00:22:24But now against beautiful Bobby,
00:22:26a man that certainly, if he won,
00:22:28it was in his formative years of this sport.
00:22:30Of course, at 18, he's still in his formative years,
00:22:33but years ago when he was working his way up in this sport,
00:22:38he had to watch some of the tapes of beautiful Bobby.
00:22:40One of the greatest high flyers ever.
00:22:42And this is a very important match for him
00:22:44because Lavec was a power man.
00:22:46Beautiful Bobby, a different type of wrestler, Bray.
00:22:48Well, Bobby can do that, too.
00:22:49You know, he can wrestle, and he also can fight.
00:22:52He can also come off that top rope,
00:22:54and he also can be as dirty as he has to be.
00:22:58Pick up.
00:22:59And a slam.
00:23:00And beautiful Bobby on a roll in this sport
00:23:02with some big wins.
00:23:03A headbutt.
00:23:05Down goes Bobby.
00:23:06And, of course, a win against Dave Sullivan
00:23:09a couple of weeks ago.
00:23:10Well, you just can't count beautiful Bobby out ever.
00:23:13But if the Wonder Punk here gets a victory
00:23:16over beautiful Bobby, I'll be very surprised.
00:23:18I mean, he's got to have butterflies in his stomach.
00:23:20He's got to be nervous as can be.
00:23:22Knowing the world's watching.
00:23:23Packed place here in Vegas, Caesars Palace.
00:23:25And he's in there with beautiful Bobby,
00:23:27a man who, like you said, he's had to watch.
00:23:29You know, I don't think so.
00:23:30And here's why.
00:23:31I talked to Alex earlier today,
00:23:33and he said that he felt very comfortable.
00:23:36And I think that's one of the things
00:23:37that's making him such a sensation.
00:23:39That's one of the things that's making him so successful.
00:23:41He is not intimidated.
00:23:43He is not nervous.
00:23:44He is very calm in the ring,
00:23:45and that's very important.
00:23:47Well, I don't know how you can't be nervous
00:23:49at 18 years of age
00:23:50with millions and millions of people
00:23:52from all over the world watching.
00:23:53And you're in there with beautiful Bobby.
00:23:55You can't.
00:23:56You've got to be nervous, Giovanni.
00:23:57Whoa.
00:23:58Right hand.
00:23:59And that's one of beautiful Bobby's strong suits.
00:24:02Well, I'm sure he's had a lot of anticipation,
00:24:05but very confident, very, very calm for a young man.
00:24:09And beautiful Bobby now,
00:24:10he's gonna knock that calm right out of him
00:24:13with a big right hand,
00:24:14make it two of them.
00:24:15And now the whip in.
00:24:16Right, look at the agility.
00:24:17Oh, my goodness.
00:24:18Over the top.
00:24:19And a headscissor takeover.
00:24:21Incredible.
00:24:22Andre take down again.
00:24:23Well, I'll be honest with you.
00:24:25He's not intimidated by beautiful Bobby.
00:24:27He's taking it right to him.
00:24:28And he did some tremendous high aerial moves
00:24:31in there with Bobby.
00:24:33But he's gonna make a mistake eventually,
00:24:35and that's when beautiful Bobby will capitalize on it.
00:24:37That's the way this man handles himself in the ring.
00:24:40We talk about this being the 20th anniversary
00:24:42of this famed sports pavilion here at Caesars Palace.
00:24:45First opened the doors February 2nd of 1975.
00:24:49Jimmy Connors and Rod Laver in a great tennis match.
00:24:52The Jerry Lewis telethon, Labor Day telethon,
00:24:55has been here, of course.
00:24:56Circus of the Stars gymnastics competition.
00:24:59And, of course, George Foreman
00:25:00like Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Larry Holmes.
00:25:02They've all had great boxing events right here.
00:25:05And, of course, now the clash of the champions
00:25:07comes your way live.
00:25:09Alex getting a little agitated here
00:25:12with beautiful Bobby.
00:25:14He's gonna hit him, hit him.
00:25:17He didn't hit him literally.
00:25:18He went for the European uppercut.
00:25:20Nicely done by Alex Wright.
00:25:22Dropped down to his knees.
00:25:23And, my goodness, some force behind those.
00:25:26Look at this again.
00:25:30The whip in.
00:25:31Alex ducks.
00:25:32Bobby ducks low.
00:25:34And that was a great move
00:25:35by the veteran Beautiful Bobby.
00:25:37He saw it coming, Brain.
00:25:38Well, now it's time to go to school.
00:25:41Show them what it's all about, Beautiful Bobby.
00:25:47Knock his teeth out.
00:25:51He'll be sucking sauerkraut through a straw for six months
00:25:53if I had my way about it.
00:25:54I'm sure he would if he had your way about it.
00:25:59Driving the knee to the back of the neck.
00:26:02A good look in at Alex Wright.
00:26:03A little close to the ropes, too.
00:26:05And Alex got the left shoulder up.
00:26:07Bobby with a lateral press that time
00:26:08but did not put the weight across the shoulders.
00:26:10And Alex got it up easily.
00:26:13And now, Bobby now, a crossface here.
00:26:16He's got him grounded.
00:26:17He's got him on the mat.
00:26:18Actually, a reverse chin lock.
00:26:19We get a good look now.
00:26:21Referee Randy Anderson.
00:26:25Live here on TBS, the clash of the champions.
00:26:28We're off and running.
00:26:30Boy, Hogan's got to be patient.
00:26:32He's got to be like a long-tailed cat
00:26:34in a room full of rocking chairs,
00:26:35as people would say.
00:26:40Alex and the fans, look at him.
00:26:41They want Alex to get back up,
00:26:43and that's exactly what he's doing.
00:26:45Showing his endurance.
00:26:47Hitting the ropes.
00:26:48Bobby ducked, and he telegraphed it.
00:26:50Alex, short suplex,
00:26:52but he hurt the back of his neck that time.
00:26:54He hurt himself, I think, more than Beautiful Bobby hurt himself.
00:26:56Both go down, hit hard, and both are wobbly.
00:27:02Don't let him get back on his feet, Bobby.
00:27:05Alex drives the fist to the gut.
00:27:07That time, it is Alex, the first man,
00:27:10the European uppercut with force again.
00:27:13He got him good with that one.
00:27:15The Wunderkin is in a fight, as we anticipated,
00:27:18with Beautiful Bobby.
00:27:20And up and down!
00:27:23Come on, Bobby, stop him.
00:27:25Slow him down.
00:27:27Don't let him get ahead of steam.
00:27:29Whip to the ropes.
00:27:31Spinwheel kick from the near side.
00:27:33The knee connected with a jaw,
00:27:35and Alex Wright is going for it all.
00:27:38But remember, the man getting back up
00:27:41is a man who knows all about high flying,
00:27:43is Beautiful Bobby.
00:27:44But he connected with a dropkick.
00:27:46Off the top rope.
00:27:47One, two, Bobby kicked out, though.
00:27:49And Bobby trying to slow him down.
00:27:51He's got to slow him down.
00:27:53But this Wonder Punk's got a lot of endurance
00:27:55and a bad eye.
00:27:57He does right now.
00:27:58You're right.
00:27:59He turned, enabling Bobby to get the thumb
00:28:01or the finger to the eye.
00:28:03Get him right in the headlights.
00:28:06The agility again.
00:28:07The crossbody.
00:28:08He got him.
00:28:09One, two.
00:28:10No, no, no.
00:28:11Bobby's up in two.
00:28:12Once again, the veteran Beautiful Bobby
00:28:15is in the lead.
00:28:17The veteran Beautiful Bobby
00:28:19is up to the task here,
00:28:20and Alex hit him with two good shots
00:28:22off the top.
00:28:23Here we go.
00:28:24Spinning neckbreaker.
00:28:25Bobby may have him here.
00:28:26Remember, earlier on in the match,
00:28:27he hurt his neck.
00:28:28He's going for the Alabama Jam.
00:28:30He's going to show him how to do it.
00:28:32Beautiful Bobby.
00:28:33We talked about it.
00:28:35How this man can really go up top.
00:28:37He's got Alex prone on the mat.
00:28:39Beautiful Bobby!
00:28:41Alabama Jam!
00:28:43There goes his winning streak.
00:28:45It is over.
00:28:46And he covers it.
00:28:47One, two.
00:28:48Alex got him!
00:28:49He got out!
00:28:50How did he get out?
00:28:53Bobby hit him with the Alabama Jam,
00:28:55and he was on target.
00:28:56And the youngster showing his tenacity,
00:28:58his determination,
00:28:59getting up from it.
00:29:01And this is just going to make
00:29:02Beautiful Bobby even madder.
00:29:03Smack him around.
00:29:04Work him over.
00:29:07To the side of the head
00:29:08and into the gut.
00:29:09Alex over the top.
00:29:11Alex again.
00:29:12Bobby follows him in.
00:29:13Alex crossbody block.
00:29:15One.
00:29:16Two.
00:29:17Three.
00:29:18No, no.
00:29:19Ladies and gentlemen,
00:29:20the winner of the match,
00:29:22the Spooner King,
00:29:24Alex Wright.
00:29:26Alex Wright scores a sensational win
00:29:29of the Beautiful Bobby.
00:29:31He took the Alabama Jam.
00:29:33And of course,
00:29:34Bobby had taken a lot of high-risk maneuvers
00:29:36earlier in the match.
00:29:37Look at this.
00:29:38Just look at the Wonder Punk here.
00:29:40He's taking it to Beautiful Bobby.
00:29:42I still think this has to be
00:29:43the fluke of the year.
00:29:44I think he won a wrestling biggest upset
00:29:46for the Wonder Punk
00:29:47to knock off a man
00:29:48to get a one-two-three victory
00:29:50over a man with the credentials
00:29:51of Beautiful Bobby.
00:29:53Watch him go through the air.
00:29:54Changes speeds in midair.
00:29:56Lands on top of Beautiful Bobby.
00:29:58I believe he hooked the trunks there
00:29:59for a one-two-three.
00:30:00I can't believe it, Shivani.
00:30:02WCW, where the stars are
00:30:04in Maryland, Las Vegas,
00:30:05and more to come live
00:30:07from Caesars Palace

00:32:43you're supposed to be.
00:32:44You were supposed to be
00:32:45at an autograph session
00:32:47at the lobby.
00:32:48Vader showed up.
00:32:49You weren't there.
00:32:50I went to your room.
00:32:52I kicked down your door,
00:32:54and you weren't there.
00:32:55I went to the gym
00:32:56you were supposedly
00:32:57working out at,
00:32:58and the people said
00:32:59that you mysteriously
00:33:00left early.
00:33:02You've been dodging
00:33:03the demon, brother.
00:33:05But guess what?
00:33:06You can run no further.
00:33:08You can hide no more.
00:33:10Yeah!
00:33:11Vader waits for no man.
00:33:13I've got my ticket,
00:33:15and I'll be here.
00:33:16It can happen
00:33:17anytime, anywhere,

00:33:25of your head
00:33:26because the man
00:33:27coming after you.
00:33:29All right.
00:33:30That sounds like
00:33:31a threat to me
00:33:32from Vader
00:33:33February the 19th
00:33:34in Baltimore
00:33:35at Super Bowl.

00:35:47Well,
00:35:48Stars and Stripes
00:35:49and for some reason...
00:35:50Wait a minute.
00:35:51That's not their music.
00:35:52Oh, no.
00:35:53It's the man.
00:35:54Whoo!
00:35:55Ladies and gentlemen,
00:35:56that music can mean
00:35:57only one thing.
00:35:58There he is,
00:35:59the nature boy,
00:36:00Ric Flair,
00:36:01like he said,
00:36:02has made his appearance
00:36:03and as customary,
00:36:04the ladies are at his side.
00:36:05Oh, yeah.
00:36:06Oh, yeah.
00:36:07Oh, yeah.
00:36:08Oh, yeah.
00:36:09Oh, yeah.

00:36:18He looks better than ever.
00:36:19The nature boy,
00:36:2012 times
00:36:21heavyweight champion
00:36:22of the world.
00:36:23Yes, and the dirtiest
00:36:24player in the game,
00:36:25I might add.
00:36:26Oh, yes,
00:36:27and he can get dirtier
00:36:28as the days go by.
00:36:29Interesting enough,
00:36:30Bader is already
00:36:31in his ringside seat
00:36:32and Flair making
00:36:33his way up the aisle.
00:36:34I wonder if that other
00:36:35ticket is for Flair.
00:36:36I saw Harley race earlier
00:36:37in the building,
00:36:38I thought,
00:36:39from across the casino.
00:36:40Oh, yeah.
00:36:41Oh, yeah.
00:36:42Oh, yeah.
00:36:43Oh, yeah.
00:36:44Oh, yeah.
00:36:46Oh, yeah.
00:36:47Oh, yeah.
00:36:48Oh, yes!
00:36:49I wasn't gonna say
00:36:50it was dirty in the casino,
00:36:51but whoo!
00:36:52Oh, I gotta go
00:36:53over and shake his hand.
00:36:54What?
00:36:55I gotta go over
00:36:56and shake the hand
00:36:57of Ric Flair?
00:36:58All right, well,
00:36:59wait a minute,
00:37:00Flair's over there
00:37:01with Bader.
00:37:02They have had some matches
00:37:03and Brene,

00:38:53This is the return match for Stars and Stripes,
00:38:55and don't forget Sherri had a hand in that
00:38:58when she slapped Bagwell.
00:39:01Yeah, but you know what Bagwell said to her.
00:39:04He made improper advances.
00:39:06She should have slapped his face.
00:39:07Hey, how does Ric Flair look, huh?
00:39:09He looks great.
00:39:10And introduce me to the two ladies' friends,
00:39:12Cynthia and Jessica.
00:39:13Jessica's mine for the evening.
00:39:16We're going dancing later on.
00:39:18Oh, we're going to have a ball.
00:39:19You want to come along?
00:39:20We need someone to drive the car.
00:39:23So it's gonna be you, Flair, Cindy, and Jessica?
00:39:25That's right.
00:39:26Painting the town red, as only Ric Flair can do.
00:39:31The Nature Boy, boy, this is a star-studded night.
00:39:33Vader is here at ringside.
00:39:35The Nature Boy is over here on our left at ringside.
00:39:37And the World Tag Team Championship live on TVF.
00:39:40And no Harley race.
00:39:41Vader has two tickets, two seats.
00:39:43There he is.
00:39:44And there he is, sitting all by himself.
00:39:46What is going through his mind right now?
00:39:48Now, he, now, let me also let you know, fans,
00:39:50he is sitting right at the entranceway,
00:39:53which means that it probably is gonna happen
00:39:54here in what Vader said.
00:39:55When, when Hogan walks out,
00:39:57by golly, something's gonna happen.
00:39:59And something's happening in the ring
00:40:00as Marcus Bagwell uncorks on Booker T.
00:40:04Bagwell has snapped.
00:40:09Well, they've come to fight.
00:40:10They want that title back.
00:40:11Bam. Whips him in.
00:40:14Whoops there.
00:40:17Anita the Head, Bagwell went in hard and paid for it.
00:40:20What you call reckless abandoned backfiring on you.
00:40:22Hey, you wanna get up in their face?
00:40:24You wanna jump hard on Heath?
00:40:25Go ahead.
00:40:26But they're gonna jump you right back.
00:40:29Drop kick over the top and to the floor.
00:40:32That's a disqualification, right?
00:40:33No, it's not. There's Stevie Ray.
00:40:36And there goes Stevie Ray.
00:40:37Yes, sir. The former tag team champs.
00:40:40Marcus Bagwell and the Patriot,
00:40:42they are here and ready to go,
00:40:43wanting to get the World Tag Team Championship back.
00:40:48Come on, ref, do something.
00:40:52Or Sherry, do something.
00:40:53I'm sure she will.
00:40:55They're up. Bagwell again.
00:40:57Boy, Marcus Bagwell is prepared.
00:41:01The tag, and here we go.
00:41:02The heat is on.
00:41:04Teamwork, the hallmark of the former champs.
00:41:07Oh, my goodness.
00:41:09One, two. Got a two count.
00:41:12He ought to be 8 to 10 feet in the air.
00:41:14But what a great team Harlem Heat is.
00:41:16Sherry has him ready.
00:41:17She has him physically and mentally geared for this match.
00:41:20There she is.
00:41:22Get over there, brother. Come on.
00:41:24Get over there. She's cheering on her team.
00:41:26Nothing wrong with that.
00:41:28No, and I agree with that.
00:41:29But that's not what she's been noted for.
00:41:32Okay, she's a little spunky at times.
00:41:34A little spunky, without putting it mildly.
00:41:38What woman is it?
00:41:44If she's a little bit spunky,
00:41:45then Ric Flair only easily stretches the roots.
00:41:49And you know that's not the case.
00:41:51Boy, you really got it bad for Flair.
00:41:53You really like to knock him.
00:41:55You don't like him because he cheats,
00:41:57because he does things behind people's back,
00:41:58because people think he's a loud mouth.
00:42:00He can back up everything he does.
00:42:02He always has and always will.
00:42:03And he's been retired, okay?
00:42:04So he's just a spectator.
00:42:07Big forearm shot to the jaw.
00:42:12But, of course, this is his town.
00:42:14And now the Patriot in command with Stevie Ray.
00:42:19Now, keep in mind, Harlan meets Stevie Ray Booker Tate.
00:42:20They are brothers.
00:42:23And in line are the great tag team champions,
00:42:26brother tag team champions of the sport.
00:42:29Maybe the most powerful brother combination
00:42:30we've ever seen.
00:42:32And look at these four men in this match here.
00:42:34Are they in shape?
00:42:35Do they look physically ready to fight anybody?
00:42:38There is no question WCW has the top stars
00:42:41and the top athletes in this world in pro wrestling.
00:42:45And you're watching them here in Las Vegas live.
00:42:49On the Breen station.
00:42:51TBS.
00:42:52And he caught him in midair.
00:42:54Stevie Ray is a powerful man.
00:42:55Roll him to the desert.
00:42:57Plant him in the desert.
00:42:59How do I kick down?
00:43:04To the jaw, knee, and that enables the tag here.
00:43:07And you're right, great teamwork.
00:43:09You know, these teams are so similar in many ways.
00:43:12Great teamwork, a lot of power.
00:43:14Young, fast.
00:43:16But the big difference is that lovely lady at ringside.
00:43:21Where?
00:43:21There's a lovely lady at ringside?
00:43:23Who else do you think I'm thinking about?
00:43:25There's a lot of beautiful women in Las Vegas.
00:43:27There are two on the arm of Ric Flair.
00:43:29Yes.
00:43:30Oh, yes.
00:43:33Rolls him up.
00:43:34One, two.
00:43:36But Booker T got out of it.
00:43:37But Bagwell drives a fist in.
00:43:41And this is teamwork now from the former tag team champs.
00:43:46And you're right, there's a lot of power in this match.
00:43:48And you're right, there's a lot of power in this match.
00:43:50And you're right, there's a lot of power in this match.
00:43:52And this is teamwork now from the former tag team champs.
00:43:54And you're right, there's a lot of power in this match.
00:43:56And you're right, there's a lot of power in this match.
00:43:58Driving down the arm.
00:43:59Back in the fall, they won the tag team championship
00:44:01with Pretty Wonderful right here on TBS.
00:44:03And a live television program we have.
00:44:05Of course, throughout the year, 1995,
00:44:07we're going to be giving you fans live a chance
00:44:09to vote and decide the main event
00:44:11on our live interactive television programs.
00:44:13That's a mistake.
00:44:14You know that.
00:44:15Putting a decision in the hands of a human being.
00:44:17And they just voted on that return match we saw earlier on.
00:44:19And they just voted on that return match we saw earlier on.
00:44:21Right now...
00:44:23Booker T...
00:44:25Is leaning in to The Patriot.
00:44:27The Masked Man tries to pick him up.
00:44:29Patriot big guy to get over.
00:44:31And-
00:44:33Booker T is picking this over the top.
00:44:35What agility.
00:44:37What agility.
00:44:39Belly-to-belly.
00:44:40What?
00:44:42I think they were both talking about the grave.
00:44:44I think they were both talking about the grave.
00:44:46I think they were both going for the same move.
00:44:48The difference is Booker T had his arms around the shoulders,
00:44:51did not get the leverage, and the Patriot
00:44:53had it around the midsection, enabling him
00:44:55to get the belly to belly.
00:44:56Well, he got there first.
00:44:58That's what I said.
00:44:59I know, that's what I heard.
00:45:01Well, you say things like that, so I can hear things like that.
00:45:04Don't talk to me.
00:45:05I have to.
00:45:06I get paid for a reverse in the corner.
00:45:09And Bagwell, he was trying a monkey
00:45:12flip out of the corner, but was unsuccessful.
00:45:15And right to the jaw that time, does Booker T.
00:45:18Here's the exchange, here comes Big Stevie Ray,
00:45:21the World Tag Team Champions, now in charge.
00:45:25You know, I just looked across Giovanni in the eyes of Vader.
00:45:28He hasn't moved.
00:45:29He's just focused.
00:45:30And I don't think he's even looking into the ring.
00:45:32He's just sitting there, stone-faced.
00:45:35He's got some plan.
00:45:36He's something going through his mind.
00:45:39Into the gut.
00:45:40And Hogan has to pass him, like you say.
00:45:43Again, this time it was the side of the head.
00:45:46That's right, he's got to go right by Vader.
00:45:49Coming to you live from Caesars Palace,
00:45:51the Sports Pavilion in Las Vegas.
00:45:54One, two, got a two count.
00:45:56They call this place the home of champions.
00:46:00And of course, no better place than to have
00:46:02the clash of the champions.
00:46:03Like we said, our 30th Clash of the Champions, Bray.
00:46:05Who?
00:46:06Elbow on top of the head.
00:46:10Where is Harley Race?
00:46:12Who is going to sit in that chair?
00:46:14Almost got a three count.
00:46:16Or is that chair going to be used to part Mr. Hogan's hair?
00:46:20Well, that's a good point.
00:46:22It's a very good point, and that could happen.
00:46:25Maybe he got two tickets because one's
00:46:26going to be used to sit in, and one chair's
00:46:29going to be used as a weapon.
00:46:31As you take a look at this capacity crowd
00:46:33here at the Sports Pavilion at Caesars Palace.
00:46:36Do not leave your rented furniture humanized.
00:46:39Do not go to a fridge for a cold one.
00:46:41Keep your butt sitting down.
00:46:43You don't want to miss this.
00:46:44Vader's going to do something.
00:46:46And I still don't know why Ric Flair is here.
00:46:52A good look at Sensuous Sherry.
00:46:55I'm going to report on my hotline
00:46:57Sunday about what I did after the clash with Ric Flair.
00:47:01That's going to be X-rated.
00:47:03Double X-rated, maybe.
00:47:06Bray, you couldn't stay awake for the all-nighter
00:47:08a couple of nights ago.
00:47:09Because Gordon was boring.
00:47:13On the back.
00:47:17A whip in.
00:47:19Ducking his bag well.
00:47:21A double cross body block.
00:47:22I've never seen that.
00:47:23No, never.
00:47:25And by golly, you're seeing some firsts here.
00:47:28Both men go down.
00:47:30It's a matter of who's going to make the tag first.
00:47:34What a year this is going to be at WCW.
00:47:37Talk about action.
00:47:37Talk about on fire.
00:47:39And there's Sherry up on the top.
00:47:41That's OK.
00:47:42She's not doing anything.
00:47:43She's not in the ring.
00:47:45Tag.
00:47:46Bagwell has made the tag.
00:47:48What she did was, she is going to prevent this tag.
00:47:52They're going to have to send the Patriot back out.
00:47:56You know, maybe the Patriot is really David Copperfield.
00:47:58He's performing here at Caesars.
00:48:00And he'd love to make those belts disappear.
00:48:05The side of the head.
00:48:06The Patriot has to get out.
00:48:10Now, once the mask got too tight, can he here?
00:48:12Sherry's got her purse out.
00:48:18Or is that a shoe?
00:48:19That's a shoe she's got out.
00:48:22And it's broken down.
00:48:23Whoa.
00:48:24Oh.
00:48:25Sherry goes down.
00:48:27Boy, did she go down flat.
00:48:29Bagwell has it rolled to the foot.
00:48:33One, two, three.
00:48:36They got it.
00:48:37They got it.
00:48:39There were bodies everywhere.
00:48:41And at the end, the champions retain their title.
00:48:44With that, we go to Gary Capeta.
00:48:45Ladies and gentlemen, the winners and still
00:48:49world tag team champions, Stevie Ray, Booker T, Harlem Heat.
00:48:57Oh, yeah, baby.
00:48:58Crank the music up.
00:49:01Harlem Heat is still world championship
00:49:04championship wrestling tag team champions of the world.
00:49:09And the Patriot, Marcus Bagwell, took it to them.
00:49:12They came with a game plan, but it just didn't work.
00:49:14Harlem Heat was too smart, too big, too tough,
00:49:18too strong to lose this one.
00:49:21He plants them right on his sacroiliac.
00:49:26Marcus is going nowhere.
00:49:28Look at Sherry.
00:49:29Sherry is bulldozed right to the floor.
00:49:33A roll up here by Marcus Alexander.
00:49:36He goes for the one.
00:49:37He goes for the two.
00:49:38But Dummy forgets.
00:49:39Whoa.
00:49:40Now that's shoes in your head.
00:49:42But there's another Harlem Heat.
00:49:43The man that gets the one, two, three on you.
00:49:45It's party time in Vegas.
00:49:48When we come back, comments from the Monster Maniacs
00:49:51as the clash of the champions live from Vegas
00:49:54continues on TBS.
00:49:57Back on the Clash of the Champions
00:49:59live from Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.
00:50:02Tony Schiavone and Bobby the Brain Heenan.
00:50:04Ric Flair is here.
00:50:05He is sitting over here.
00:50:07Vader is here at ringside.
00:50:08And right now, we're going to hear from the Monster Maniacs.
00:50:12You get paid to talk.
00:50:13I know.
00:50:14I don't care about the Monster Maniacs.
00:50:16But I'll tell you something, Ric Flair,
00:50:18there's still something burning in that man's eyes.
00:50:20He's got a lot of money.
00:50:21He's got a lot of money.
00:50:22He's got a lot of money.
00:50:23He's got a lot of money.
00:50:24He's got a lot of money.
00:50:25He's got a lot of money.
00:50:26He's got a lot of money.
00:50:27You get paid to talk it out in his man's eyes.
00:50:28And Vader is still sitting at ringside.
00:50:31Something's going to happen-it's going
00:50:32to happen to Hulk Hogan.
00:50:33Don't leave your sits.
00:50:34Let's go right now.
00:50:36Mama, let's get out of here.
00:50:37To mean mean Jean Oklahoma
00:50:38and Standing On here Johnson and Ernie
00:50:39with the Monster Maniacs.
00:50:42I'm back in the locker room area with a Moncho man,
00:50:44Randy Savage.
00:50:45The Moth of the South Jimmy Hart is here.
00:50:47World Heavyweight Champion, Hulk Hogan,
00:50:49joining us.
00:50:50These two men later on tonight
00:50:52are going to be facing Kevin Sullivan
00:50:54and Butcher from the Faces of Fear.
00:50:55Earlier on I talked to Vader, Hulk, I gotta say that you guys are gonna have to have eyes in the back of your head.
00:51:01Well, you know something mean, Gene?
00:51:03As funny as it may seem, brother, the odds makers are betting against us, brother.
00:51:08Like you said, with the dirtiest player in the game hovering around the premises,
00:51:12with that big bad monster buying two seats at ringside,
00:51:16they're betting that by hook or by crook,
00:51:19Macho Man Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan are going down tonight, brother.
00:51:24But they don't realize the momentum.
00:51:26They don't realize that even Caesar himself has said thumbs down to Kevin Sullivan and that no good butcher.
00:51:33And Jimmy Hart, my man, you squeaky little mouse,
00:51:36you better have eyes in the back of your head.
00:51:38Because if that no good, that no good rotten Vader or Ric Flair makes a move,
00:51:44you better squeal like the loudest mouse I've ever heard in my life.
00:51:47Better blow the whistle.
00:51:48You know, Hulkster, Macho Man, I will be the lookout, baby.
00:51:52And the Monster Maniacs are ready, mean Gene.
00:51:55You gotta have somebody to watch your back, Macho Man.
00:51:57I understand that.
00:51:59And let me warn you, Vader, and you, Nature Boy, yeah,
00:52:03and the butcher and Kevin Sullivan,
00:52:06the Monster Maniacs are the masters of disaster, yeah.
00:52:11And we know that we're gonna battle against all odds right here at Caesar's Palace,
00:52:16right here in Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:52:18But I'll tell you one thing.
00:52:20We're gonna go all the way.
00:52:23And you guys are in the danger zone.
00:52:26The way we are, straight to the max, just watch out and see what we do,
00:52:31what we do, what we do, yeah.
00:52:33No question in my mind that Vader would love to take you out here
00:52:36and not have to worry about you at Super Brawl.
00:52:38Well, you know, brother, I've been hovering around Vegas for a few days now, man.
00:52:42Vader, I'm not a hard man to find, brother.
00:52:45I was looking and hoping that maybe you could warm me up a little bit, brother,
00:52:49before this match with the Macho Man, Sullivan, and the Butcher.
00:52:53But since I've been hovering,
00:52:55I realized that Macho Man and Hulk Hogan are the only thing in the WCW,
00:53:01the only thing in the world of wrestling,
00:53:03and with all the movie, all the TV people at Caesar's Palace, brother.
00:53:08The promoter's jaws are gonna drop when they hear the roar of the crowd
00:53:12when the Macho Man and Hulk Hogan chop down the Butcher,
00:53:16chop down Sullivan, and put our fists in Vader's face.
00:53:19And if Ric Flair, brother, the nature boy,
00:53:22the dirtiest player in the game, wants either one of us, brother,
00:53:26it's, ooh, yeah, brother.
00:53:29What you gonna do when the two brothers run wild on you?
00:53:33Coming up, ladies and gentlemen,
00:53:35the Monster Maniacs, the new battle with Kevin Sullivan and Butcher.

00:54:26and Caesars Palace, Gene Okerlund here
00:54:28in the Control Center with the biggest news
00:54:31to come down the pike in a long, long time.
00:54:35World Championship Wrestling officials
00:54:37announced this past week the match-up
00:54:39that hardcore fans have been waiting for for years.
00:54:42Coming up on Sunday, February the 19th

00:54:50WCW heavyweight champion Hulk Hogan
00:54:52defends against the reigning United States champ
00:54:55and the number one contender, 452-pound Vader.
00:54:59If you recall at Starrcade,
00:55:01while I was conducting an interview
00:55:03with Hulk Hogan back in his locker room,
00:55:05Vader burst into that room and took off on Hogan.
00:55:09He's the number one contender.
00:55:11He's the number one contender.
00:55:13He's the number one contender.
00:55:15He burst into that room and took off on Hogan.
00:55:18I mean, he called him virtually every name in the book.
00:55:21Eventually, both men had to be restrained.
00:55:24As a result of this action,
00:55:26WCW officials have banned Hogan and Vader
00:55:29from being anywhere within 200 feet of each other
00:55:32anywhere in the world prior to Super Bowl V
00:55:34on February the 19th in Baltimore.

00:57:33against the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
00:57:35What an event it's gonna be,
00:57:37as we go back to Gary Capetta.
00:57:40And now, ladies and gentlemen,
00:57:41the participants in this special event,
00:57:45it is set for one fall.
00:57:47Introducing first, from Mount Everest, Washington,
00:57:51at over 500 pounds,
00:57:55the size of him,
00:57:56Avalanche.
00:57:59Let's not only talk about the size of him, Brain,
00:58:01let's talk about the ability, the power,
00:58:03the determination,
00:58:04and, of course, he's mean.
00:58:06Man was a sumo wrestler in Japan.
00:58:08Yes, he was.
00:58:09I mean, he's just one big, powerful, bad, bad guy.
00:58:12And you know, sumo wrestlers,
00:58:14they have the ability to have their mind somewhere
00:58:16and their body somewhere else,
00:58:17so he can shut out pain.
00:58:19I don't know who could hurt him,
00:58:22or who would want to.
00:58:24You hurt him, you make him mad.
00:58:27And, ladies and gentlemen,
00:58:29the opponent, live from Las Vegas,
00:58:32on the Clash of the Champions,
00:58:34from Venice Beach, California,
00:58:37weighing 251 pounds,
00:58:41this is
00:58:44Speed!
00:58:46Well, Brain, seven years ago,
00:58:48at Clash number one,
00:58:49they never heard a sting worldwide,
00:58:52but in that match against Ric Flair,
00:58:53that you fans saw on our Wrestling All Nighter
00:58:56last Friday,
00:58:57which was voted the number one Clash match of all time,
00:59:00Sting became a household name,
00:59:02and his popularity continues to grow.
00:59:05And now the return match
00:59:06against Avalanche with Guardian Angel Special Referee
00:59:10from Caesar's Palace.
00:59:11I'll guarantee you, here we go.
00:59:14Everyone knows who Sting is now.
00:59:19This is gonna be a hard match to referee, too.
00:59:21I wouldn't want that job.
00:59:22And that's why Nick Bockwinkel
00:59:25assigned the Guardian Angel.
00:59:27Look at this.
00:59:28Now, first of all, Guardian Angel,
00:59:30you count.
00:59:31You have to count that man.
00:59:32You don't get physical with him.
00:59:34He counted twice, is what he did,
00:59:36and broke his count.
00:59:37Well, who knows what he can count to, the idiot.
00:59:39I know three strikes and you're out.
00:59:41Nobody home that time.
00:59:42Sting's gotta rely on the quickness.
00:59:44Hit and run.
00:59:45You know, I just noticed,
00:59:46looking over there where Ric Flair was sitting,
00:59:48he is no longer sitting there with...
00:59:51Goodbye.
00:59:55Avalanche with crashing towards us.
00:59:58Over the top and to the floor.
01:00:01How many times have you seen that?
01:00:05And watch out, Bray, from behind.
01:00:07Getting out of here.
01:00:08The Guardian Angel.
01:00:21Are you, uh, composed again?
01:00:24That action a little bit too close for us that time.
01:00:28Cody, the man's over 500 pounds.
01:00:30He landed at my feet.
01:00:32Seen Dropkick him over the top rope.
01:00:34This is too...
01:00:35I don't get hazard pay for this, you know.
01:00:37Bray, like you said, Ric Flair has left.
01:00:40Yeah, he ain't no longer sitting.
01:00:42I wonder where he is.
01:00:43I wonder what he's...
01:00:44Well, I know he's gonna come back.
01:00:46He's gonna come back.
01:00:47I wonder where he is.
01:00:48I wonder what he's...
01:00:49Well, I know he's gonna come back.
01:00:50He's got the two, uh, beautiful ladies here.
01:00:52But...
01:00:53But wait a minute now.
01:00:54Wait a minute!
01:00:56Is he gonna come back and sit back with them?
01:00:59Or is he going to occupy...
01:01:02Whoa!
01:01:03Oh, my goodness.
01:01:04One, two...
01:01:05Stings up in two.
01:01:06He tried to pick him up.
01:01:07Or is Ric Flair gonna occupy that seat
01:01:10and sit with Vader?
01:01:12Think about that now.
01:01:13I don't see Harley Race anyplace.
01:01:17Standing on the ribcage of Sting
01:01:21at 500 pounds, Avalanche.
01:01:23I don't know, Bray.
01:01:24Remember, Flair and Vader have had a go-around or two.
01:01:27As a matter of fact, the Guardian Angel
01:01:29run through one of their matches a year ago in the cage.
01:01:31But that time, he had handcuffs.
01:01:33That time, he had a nightstick.
01:01:34Oh!
01:01:35It's different now,
01:01:36as Avalanche drops his bulk onto Sting across the chest.
01:01:40And there is one powerhouse he is.
01:01:43But you gotta think of it this way.
01:01:45Vader wants Hogan.
01:01:46He wants that championship of the world.
01:01:49And Flair...
01:01:50Well, Hogan's the man that put him in retirement,
01:01:54so there's no love lost there.
01:01:56If you think about it,
01:01:57they both have the same objective,
01:01:59and that's Hulk Hogan.
01:02:01Oh, Ric Flair, he is constantly thinking.
01:02:04I'm telling you, I wouldn't be surprised
01:02:06if he don't plop down right next to Vader.
01:02:09What are you gonna do then, Hogan?
01:02:11Speaking of plopping,
01:02:12Avalanche is plopping Sting here in the corner
01:02:14right above us.
01:02:16Those rings moved about 6, 7 inches.
01:02:19Look, and Sting looks like a child in his hands.
01:02:23He's immense.
01:02:24And he's down on Sting at 500 pounds!
01:02:27Oh, my.
01:02:28Here's a cover.
01:02:29Could be over 1, 2.
01:02:31Sting got the shoulder up in 2,
01:02:32and the Guardian Angel is dictating what's going on here.
01:02:36He's in charge.
01:02:37That's what Nick Bockwinkle wanted.
01:02:39Even though Bockwinkle stripped him, of course,
01:02:41back at Spring Stampede last April,
01:02:44that really got under the skin of the Guardian Angel.
01:02:51Down goes Avalanche!
01:02:54Oh, and Sting inadvertently,
01:02:57the headbutt in the groin!
01:03:04And now...
01:03:05Come on, referee, count!
01:03:07Can you count to 10, you big hick?
01:03:11It's very simple.
01:03:121, 2, 3, 4, 5,
01:03:15and 5 is 10.
01:03:16Avalanche is okay, told the referee.
01:03:18Guardian Angel, yes.
01:03:19But Sting is shaking.
01:03:21The Guardian Angel...
01:03:23Miss!
01:03:25You better start moving like you've never moved before, Sting,
01:03:28because you've got a 500-pound animal looking for you.
01:03:31Avalanche back up.
01:03:33Sting, the Stinger Splash.
01:03:37Here he comes again.
01:03:40Second time.
01:03:41He's gonna do it one more time.
01:03:43Sting, right in your living room.
01:03:47Oh, yeah.
01:03:48He's almost out.
01:03:49He's wobbling.
01:03:50He don't know where he's at.
01:03:52Four of them.
01:03:53It's four, but the guy...
01:03:56He's gonna pick him up!
01:03:59Slammed over 500 pounds.
01:04:02I've never seen any man do that to Avalanche.
01:04:09He's going for the Scorpion Death Lock now!
01:04:11He won't be able to turn him, though.
01:04:13He can't turn him.
01:04:15That's the...
01:04:16Yes!
01:04:17He can!
01:04:18He's...
01:04:19He's got him!
01:04:20He's gonna get him!
01:04:22The fans are going ballistic!
01:04:24The Scorpion Death Lock is on Avalanche!
01:04:27Is he saying yes?
01:04:29Is he giving up?
01:04:30I can't hear from here.
01:04:32The Guardian Angel is right there.
01:04:34Ring that bell.
01:04:35Ring the bell!
01:04:39Nick Patrick said yes.
01:04:40He gave up.
01:04:45And the Guardian Angel is...
01:04:47He's furious.
01:04:49Nick Patrick came in.
01:04:51Who's in charge of this match?
01:04:53Well, Nick Patrick is senior official.
01:04:55Oh, and we've got...
01:04:56We've got a little Donnybrook going on here.
01:04:59Well, you know, for the last couple months...
01:05:01Oh!
01:05:02Sting!
01:05:04The side of the head of the Guardian Angel!
01:05:06This is gonna get interesting!
01:05:09Clothesline!
01:05:11Oh, and the Guardian Angel!
01:05:13The Guardian Angel is hammering Sting!
01:05:17Oh, did he nail him?
01:05:18He was the assigned referee!
01:05:20Nick Patrick!
01:05:23Look at him talking!
01:05:27And now Sting being beaten around by...
01:05:29Oh, by...
01:05:30By both men!
01:05:31They're double teaming Sting!
01:05:33And the Guardian Angel throwing Sting!
01:05:35The Guardian Angel throwing Nick Patrick over the top!
01:05:38Sting is the winner!
01:05:39Oh, he just took his bell off!
01:05:40He just took his bell off!
01:05:41The Guardian Angel!
01:05:44And now...
01:05:46Right hand!
01:05:48We've got some help coming in!
01:05:50The Guardian Angel pounding away!
01:05:52Stars and stripes!
01:05:54Alex Wright in a standoff!
01:06:00Well, you know, since they had that triangle match a while back...
01:06:03There's never been any goodwill between the Guardian Angel and Sting!
01:06:07You're exactly right!
01:06:09But he was... I gotta stick up for him now!
01:06:11I gotta stick up for the Guardian Angel!
01:06:12He was in charge of that match!
01:06:14I don't know why Nick Patrick would come into the ring!
01:06:17Well, apparently, they were watching on the back...
01:06:20And apparently, Avalanche did...
01:06:22Give up!
01:06:23Sting will get the win!
01:06:27Well, maybe he was asking, does it hurt?
01:06:29He was saying, yes, it does!
01:06:30But he didn't give up!
01:06:31I never heard the man give up!
01:06:36It is... Sting!
01:06:40Sting wins over Avalanche with a Scorpion Death Block!
01:06:44What is going on here?
01:06:47As Sting Music continues...
01:06:49We have sent Mean Gene Oakland to stop the Guardian Angel and Avalanche!
01:06:54Gene, take it away!
01:06:55Alright, Tony, Bobby, hey, just a second, gentlemen!
01:06:58Come on in here!
01:06:59What, in God's name, went on out there?
01:07:01I thought you were supposed to be a referee!
01:07:03What is this, back to the old Big Bubba Rodgers?
01:07:06What happened here is Nick Bockwinkle,
01:07:08the Commissioner of World Championship Wrestling,
01:07:10and the Board of Directors,
01:07:12seemed fit to send another referee!
01:07:14Hey, buddy, I'll call a match!
01:07:16I'll see it like it happens, and I'll kick some ass!
01:07:19Yeah, you were... You sided with this man here!
01:07:22Hey, this man ain't quit!
01:07:24He ain't said I quit!
01:07:26This man ain't quit!
01:07:27He ain't said I quit!
01:07:28That referee right there wasn't even supposed to be in the ring!
01:07:31Let me point out something.
01:07:32You've got an identity crisis the way it is.
01:07:35What are you doing?
01:07:36Shit!
01:07:37Hey, man!
01:07:38What's your language on this television broadcast?
01:07:41Bottom line is, I'm going back to my roots!
01:07:44I got a heart and soul, brother!
01:07:46Big Bubba Rodgers is my name,
01:07:47and you're gonna have to answer to me!
01:07:49Alright, ladies and gentlemen,
01:07:51we're gonna try to sort all this out here at the Clash of Champions.
01:07:54Apparently, it is the resurgence of Big Bubba Rodgers.
01:07:58You saw what happened.
01:07:59He sided with the Avalanche.
01:08:00On the flip side of this break,
01:08:02Hulk Hogan and the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
01:08:05live from the Clash of the Champions.
01:08:07Don't go away.
01:08:19...of Las Vegas, Nevada.
01:08:21This is the featured match of the evening,
01:08:24the Clash of the Champions.
01:08:26Sanctioned by the WCW
01:08:28and approved by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
01:08:34Coming to the ring at this time,
01:08:36from the three faces of fear,
01:08:38we have two of the most dangerous men in the sport today.
01:08:42First, coming in, weighing in at a powerful 241.25 pounds,
01:08:48from the Punk Republic,
01:08:49he's a man with speed, power,
01:08:52and total disdain for the rules,
01:08:54Kevin Sullivan!
01:09:01And his partner, from the beaches of Southern California,
01:09:05weighing in at 258 pounds,
01:09:08he comes to the ring, still seeking revenge
01:09:11against the Hulkster,
01:09:13and promises tonight will be the night.
01:09:16Ladies and gentlemen, he is the Butcher!
01:09:22Well, the three faces of fear
01:09:24have made their presence known already with Avalanche
01:09:27and, I guess, Big Bubba, nevertheless.
01:09:29But Butcher and Kevin Sullivan are here.
01:09:32And we...
01:09:34What?
01:09:35So is Vader. He is still here.
01:09:38And we will have the introduction of Hulk Hogan,
01:09:40the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
01:09:42the Monster Maniacs,
01:09:44as we continue live from Caesars Palace on the Strip.
01:09:47WCW is here.
01:09:49Next, Hulk Hogan and the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
01:09:53live from Las Vegas in the Clash of the Champions on CBS.
01:09:57What will Vader do?
01:09:59And now, ladies and gentlemen,
01:10:02from the site where legends are made,
01:10:04Caesars Palace of Las Vegas, Nevada,
01:10:09let's get ready to rumble!
01:10:14He's American!
01:10:18Yeah!
01:10:21Now coming to the ring,
01:10:23the newest and perhaps the most exciting tag team in the world.
01:10:27First, from Sarasota, Florida,
01:10:30wearing black and gold and weighing 242 1 1⁄2 pounds,
01:10:36one of the most well-known superstars of the sport.
01:10:41A man who ended all speculation at Starkhagen 94
01:10:46when he extended his hand to his new partner,
01:10:49forming the Monster Maniacs,
01:10:52ladies and gentlemen,
01:10:54the Macho Man, Randy Savage!
01:11:03He's American!
01:11:10And his partner, in the company of his manager,
01:11:13the mouth of the south, Jimmy Hart.
01:11:16He comes in wearing yellow,
01:11:18weighing 272 pounds from Venice Beach, California.
01:11:22He is, without a doubt, one of the most famous,
01:11:25one of the most popular,
01:11:27one of the most charismatic athletes in the world today.
01:11:31Ladies and gentlemen, the professional wrestling heavyweight champion of the world,
01:11:38Hulk Hogan!
01:11:45TBS and World Championship Wrestling
01:11:49have lit up Las Vegas,
01:11:52and there they are, the Monster Maniacs!
01:11:55Together, Hulk Hogan and the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
01:12:00the stars are with World Championship Wrestling, Bray.
01:12:03And Vader has not taken his eyes off Hogan.
01:12:06And Hogan walked by Vader like he wasn't even there.
01:12:10Look at that. Look at the intensity in that man.
01:12:13The fire is burning. I can smell the smoke right now.
01:12:17Hogan, good luck. You're gonna need it.
01:12:24Now, Bray, the matter at hand for Hulk Hogan,
01:12:27the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
01:12:29is the fact that Butcher and Kevin Sullivan
01:12:32had this tag match, don't forget,
01:12:34the last Clash of the Champions back in November from Jacksonville, Florida.
01:12:38That sleeper hold from Butcher was slapped on Hogan.
01:12:41He didn't let it go until security arrived.
01:12:44Well, I hope there's enough security here in Las Vegas
01:12:47because Hogan's going night-night.
01:12:49Get your jammies, get your binky,
01:12:52and get ready to go to sleep, pal,
01:12:54because I believe two to three places of fear
01:12:57have a plan for you, Mr. Hogan.
01:12:59And don't forget, we also said that Ric Flair was here.
01:13:02He has now made his way back.
01:13:04He is sitting right across the way, the far side of ringside.
01:13:08He is watching this match as well.
01:13:12You know, the critics say there's never been a team like Savage and Hogan.
01:13:16This is probably the greatest tag team in the history of the sport.
01:13:20There's Flair.
01:13:21And he's watching.
01:13:22Former champion watching with the lovely ladies.
01:13:25And we are set to go.
01:13:26The Macho Man and Hulk Hogan together.
01:13:28But here it is, here it is.
01:13:29Hogan's pointing to Vader now.
01:13:31They've had eye contact.
01:13:32Vader just got out of his chair.
01:13:36That's right, Hogan.
01:13:37Concern yourself with Vader.
01:13:39Think about something else.
01:13:41You're in trouble.
01:13:44Shut up!
01:13:48Go home, boy!
01:13:50What is the extra seat for?
01:13:52I still want to know.
01:13:54There still is no sign of Harley Race.
01:13:57Yeah, but you can better believe that Harley Race has a lot of plans.
01:14:01But look at, think of it this, Giovanni.
01:14:03In this corner is The Butcher and Kevin Sullivan.
01:14:06Right directly across is Vader.
01:14:08Right directly to the left is Ric Flair.
01:14:10Hogan is surrounded.
01:14:13You better put the wagons in a circle.
01:14:15This isn't the Alamo.
01:14:16It's not some kind of a fight like that.
01:14:19Something is going to happen to the Maniacs.
01:14:24Savage is telling Hogan, don't worry about him over there.
01:14:26Stay focused on Butcher.
01:14:27And Hogan's concentration now is taking a back step here.
01:14:31Well, you can't go into a match like that.
01:14:33Fighting your ex-best friend.
01:14:35Knowing what Kevin Sullivan will do.
01:14:37And knowing Vader's watching every move you make.
01:14:39Flair's watching every move you make.
01:14:41And the whole world watching you.
01:14:42And can he trust Savage?
01:14:44I mean, who knows?
01:14:45You've got to concentrate on your opponents.
01:14:48You can't get derailed.
01:14:50Butcher, right hand, Hogan.
01:14:54Pounding away on Butcher.
01:14:57And a Hulkster.
01:14:58Up, right in front of Vader.
01:15:03Pounding the head of Butcher.
01:15:07Kevin Sullivan comes in, cut off by the Macho Man.
01:15:09Nicely done.
01:15:11Into the corner.
01:15:12Clothesline.
01:15:13Butcher caught.
01:15:14No place to go but down.
01:15:17Boy, everybody's been talking how good it is to see Savage back in the ring.
01:15:20What a team.
01:15:21The team of the 90s.
01:15:23I'm not that happy about it.
01:15:26The Macho Man up top.
01:15:27And a double axe handle on the jaw.
01:15:29Kevin Sullivan goes down.
01:15:30And everybody knows Butcher's face after that injury.
01:15:33He's had all those screws and bolts put in there.
01:15:35I mean, this man's whole appearance could change in the next couple of minutes.
01:15:39Savage has taken care of everybody here.
01:15:42Let us not forget, fans, if you joined us this past Saturday,
01:15:45on WCW Saturday Night,
01:15:47the horrible attack on Dave Sullivan
01:15:49by the Three Faces of Fear,
01:15:51notably Butcher and Kevin Sullivan,
01:15:53where they cut his hair,
01:15:54cut up that beautiful robe Hogan gave him,
01:15:56cut up the magic slippers or the boots
01:15:58that Hogan defeated Andre the Giant with
01:16:00that he'd given to Dave Sullivan.
01:16:02They have a lot of steam coming into this match, Brain.
01:16:05Oh, a lot.
01:16:06There's a lot at stake here.
01:16:07But still, there's no title at stake in this match.
01:16:10This is one darn tough tag match we're watching here.
01:16:14But that man right there, Vader,
01:16:16that man right there has not taken an eye off Hulk Hogan.
01:16:20The Big Foot from Hogan.
01:16:22And he's gonna cover Butcher down.
01:16:24Only a two count.
01:16:28You hear the mouth of the south.
01:16:29Manager Jimmy Hart on the far side with that megaphone.
01:16:32Ducking is Butcher!
01:16:33Good night! Good night!
01:16:35He's got the sleeper on Hogan.
01:16:37The Macho Man coming in, but no,
01:16:39the referee letting him know
01:16:40that is a legal hold on the sleeper.
01:16:42Somebody leave the lights on.
01:16:45His lights are going out.
01:16:47Again, Savage ushered back.
01:16:49This is a legal hold and Hogan has gone down.
01:16:52Hogan has gone down by the sleeper.
01:16:55Such a lethal hold.
01:16:57Hogan is down.
01:16:58He's out. He's out.
01:16:59He's out cold.
01:17:01Hulkamania is over.
01:17:03Hulkamania has come to a grinding halt
01:17:05right here at Caesar's Palace.
01:17:07Yeah, but Butcher thinks he's won,
01:17:09but he's gotta cover him.
01:17:10And the referee knows that.
01:17:12The referee's telling him,
01:17:13look, you gotta cover him.
01:17:14One, two, three.
01:17:15Cover him, Butcher. Cover him.
01:17:17Wait a minute, Savage.
01:17:19What's Savage gonna do?
01:17:20Savage trying to wake Hogan.
01:17:21Savage trying to wake Hogan.
01:17:23He's gonna turn on Hogan.
01:17:26I told you.
01:17:28He woke up Hogan with a big elbow.
01:17:30He's pulled the stake out of his heart.
01:17:32The monster's alive.
01:17:34He woke up Hogan with a big elbow from the top
01:17:36and woke him back up.
01:17:39I've never seen anything like that in my life.
01:17:42Hulkamania's alive.
01:17:45He's back on his feet.
01:17:46Did you ever see anything like that?
01:17:48That's why they're the maniacs.
01:17:49They should be in an asylum someplace.
01:17:52The Macho Man Randy Savage.
01:17:54An unprecedented move.
01:17:55Elbow drop to his partner
01:17:57to revive him from the sleeper.
01:17:59And by golly, did it work or what?
01:18:01Did you ever see anything like that in your life?
01:18:05Uh-oh.
01:18:07That's gonna cost him some money.
01:18:09Hogan.
01:18:10Hogan's got a lot of pressure on him,
01:18:12but when you're the heavyweight champion of the world,
01:18:13certainly you do.
01:18:14Savage brought him back.
01:18:16Savage revived him
01:18:18by dropping an elbow from the top rope.
01:18:20His trademark.
01:18:24Now the double team.
01:18:25The Monster Maniacs with a double big foot.
01:18:28I was sure that Savage had turned on him.
01:18:32Well, that wasn't the case at all.
01:18:33Savage with ten to the elbow to Kevin Sullivan.
01:18:35Oh!
01:18:36And a karate chop on the back of the neck.
01:18:39Hogan's now on the floor.
01:18:40He's right in front of Vader.
01:18:42Meanwhile, the double team.
01:18:43Savage goes over the top!
01:18:45Oh, my goodness.
01:18:46The referee was with Hogan,
01:18:47or that should have been a disqualification.
01:18:49They didn't see it.
01:18:50That's right.
01:18:51The match should be over right now.
01:18:52But they didn't see it.
01:18:53And Savage,
01:18:54the Macho Man,
01:18:55is down and hurt.
01:18:57Meanwhile,
01:18:58Butcher is going to
01:19:00pick up the attack
01:19:02across the safety rail.
01:19:03Hello, Mr. Savage.
01:19:04Let me introduce you to the post.
01:19:05Oh, and he did.
01:19:06Let me introduce you to the rail.
01:19:07How about the three faces of fear?
01:19:11A fallen Macho Man,
01:19:12Randy Savage.
01:19:14What a clash this has been.
01:19:15Oh, my goodness.
01:19:16Oh, my goodness.
01:19:17Oh, my goodness.
01:19:18Oh, my goodness.
01:19:19Oh, my goodness.
01:19:20Oh, my goodness.
01:19:21Oh, my goodness.
01:19:22What a clash this has been, Shavani.
01:19:23What a clash this has been, Shavani.
01:19:24And it's not over yet!
01:19:25Oh, my goodness!
01:19:26Kevin Sullivan stomping the back of the head
01:19:27And it's not over yet!
01:19:28of the Macho Man.
01:19:29of the Macho Man.
01:19:30Oh!
01:19:31in the ring post right near us.
01:19:32in the ring post right near us.
01:19:33Boy, Savage hit that a ton!
01:19:34Boy, Savage hit that a ton!
01:19:35Oh, watch out!
01:19:36Who put us at ringside anyway?
01:19:37Who put us at ringside anyway?
01:19:38Come on!
01:19:41Savage hit hard,
01:19:42Savage hit hard,
01:19:43face first
01:19:44to the apron in the ring.
01:19:45to the apron in the ring.
01:19:46Hogan, meanwhile,
01:19:47Hogan, meanwhile,
01:19:48is still jawing with the referee
01:19:49And Savage is your legal man, and he's almost out.
01:19:52He's been hit with a safety rail.
01:19:55So what does that mean, Hogan's gonna drag him out in front of Caesars?
01:19:58And let a truck run over him to bring him back?
01:20:00What are these maniacs doing?
01:20:01Remember what the word maniac implies, and that means we'll do anything.
01:20:08Maniac means Savage, maniac means Hogan.
01:20:11They've got the name, they deserve it.
01:20:14Kevin Sullivan, right now at his lethal best.
01:20:18He has stomped him in the head, he has stomped him to the ring post twice,
01:20:21to the apron.
01:20:23Right behind our backs, and now driving the fist and
01:20:25the foot to the head of the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
01:20:28And I see a big grin on the face of Ric Flair, and I see no emotion.
01:20:32Nothing on Evader.
01:20:33Macho, Macho, Macho, Macho, Macho, Macho, Macho, Macho, Macho, Macho, Macho, Macho.
01:20:36The chant of Macho from the capacity crowd at the Sports Pavilion at
01:20:41Caesars Palace.
01:20:41They're probably churning in their living rooms.
01:20:45They're probably watching this.
01:20:47The double team of the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
01:20:57My, look at this, bending him back, driving the leg to the throat,
01:21:01the shin and the boot.
01:21:02And his spine is over that top, the bottom rope.
01:21:06Kevin Sullivan is a lunatic.
01:21:07He's nuts, he's nuts.
01:21:10I like him.
01:21:12Savage.
01:21:12Look out, look out, Shabani Hogan's coming around here.
01:21:16I'm bailing out.
01:21:21Well, you know, I just heard Hogan say something to Randy Anderson.
01:21:24I wonder if he was on the take or something.
01:21:26Hey, and I tell you, they have been able to have their way with the Macho Man,
01:21:29Randy Savage here.
01:21:30Well, I don't see Randy Anderson wants to disqualify anybody.
01:21:33He wants the conclusion of this match, one way or the other.
01:21:39Savage fighting, trying to get back.
01:21:41He's on his feet, but he's, my goodness.
01:21:43Yeah, but there's so much fight in this Savage.
01:21:45Him and I don't get along personally, but
01:21:46this man is probably the most intense athlete to ever walk the face of this earth.
01:21:50I would agree with that, and he gets nailed again.
01:21:52It takes a lot to beat him, it takes a lot to beat Savage.
01:21:54And boy, you beat Savage, you've beaten somebody.
01:21:56Down he goes again, you're right, Bray.
01:21:59Doesn't seem like Hogan really wants to come to his aid that much, does he?
01:22:01Come on, baby.
01:22:04And Vader is motionless.
01:22:06He hasn't blinked an eye in over two hours.
01:22:11Hogan right now has, my goodness, again to the ring post.
01:22:16Savage is jello.
01:22:18You're right, Bray.
01:22:19He's lunch meat, he's spam.
01:22:23But as you said before- But look at that.
01:22:26He's a fighter, look at- He's up and
01:22:28gonna get in the ring, take the count.
01:22:30He won't do it, he's a monster maniac.
01:22:33The Macho Man is back in for Butchard to do with him what he wants.
01:22:38Got him hooked upside down.
01:22:40Here comes the Ramrod.
01:22:42A slap, look, they want Hogan in.
01:22:44See now, Hogan comes in, the intensity that is Hulk Hogan forces him in.
01:22:50And that puts the referee with Hogan and enables this double team.
01:22:53Savage is in bad shape, real bad shape.
01:22:55I don't think he's gonna come back after this.
01:22:57You gotta give- If he's done, if he does, he's a new Macho Man.
01:23:01You gotta give the Three Faces of Fear a lot of credit.
01:23:04A dead carcass.
01:23:06They have a great game plan here and they are executing this 218.
01:23:10Look at this.
01:23:12And Vader still has not taken his eyes off Hogan.
01:23:15Hogan being pushed back again and Savage.
01:23:20I mean, the beating that Savage has taken, Vader hasn't even looked his way.
01:23:23He has stayed focused on Hulk Hogan.
01:23:26You're exactly right, baby.
01:23:27And Savage is in, he's in bad, bad shape.
01:23:29He is looking to the right where Hogan is standing.
01:23:32And look at the fight coming out of Randy Savage.
01:23:34Look at that man fight.
01:23:36What heart, what determination.
01:23:38This is why- He's too dumb to quit.
01:23:40That's not true.
01:23:41This is why we're number one, Brain.
01:23:43It's action and athletes like this.
01:23:45There's a lot of reasons we're number one.
01:23:47And there's a sleeper on Savage.
01:23:49Good night.
01:23:49And after he has taken the beating, it's not gonna take long, I wouldn't think.
01:23:54Look at Savage's face.
01:23:55He jumped down out of desperation and a jawbreaker.
01:24:01He's still fighting.
01:24:02He is fighting for his hide in there right now.
01:24:07He's gotta make it to Hogan.
01:24:09That's the only hope he's gonna find in that ring.
01:24:13The Macho Man who has that match against Arn Anderson in his shot of
01:24:17the television title may not be 100% depression, he makes a tag.
01:24:21Uh-oh, let's watch this now.
01:24:25Hogan.
01:24:26The Hulkster is in.
01:24:35Going to the eyes twice.
01:24:39Forget about a wrestling match, it's a fight.
01:24:42Now Randy Anderson, now do something.
01:24:44And Savage has pulled himself up on the apron.
01:24:47He's on to his knees now.
01:24:49The big boots, a pick up, and a slam.
01:24:53Look at Savage now, he's on that top rope after the beating he took.
01:24:57The big elbow from Savage.
01:24:59The big leg from Hogan.
01:25:04One, two, three, it's over.
01:25:07He's done, he is done.
01:25:09Ladies and gentlemen, from Caesar's Palace,
01:25:13the winners, the Macho Man, Randy Savage, and the Hulkster.
01:25:18Vader has left his chair, and I don't know where Vader is.
01:25:24You're right.
01:25:27I can't see him from my vantage point, but the chair is empty.
01:25:30Both the chairs are empty.
01:25:32Ric Flair is still at ringside.
01:25:35Vader has done a vanishing act.
01:25:36Hulk Hogan and the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
01:25:42Wait a minute.
01:25:44Here he comes.
01:25:47Out go.
01:25:49Uh-oh.
01:25:50Look at the fear.
01:25:51I can hear those knees knocking.
01:25:54They're gonna have the Super Bowl right here.
01:25:57They are.
01:25:58Hogan, Vader, nose to nose now.
01:26:02Toes to toes and nose to nose.
01:26:04They're gonna go at it, nose to nose.
01:26:07Watch this place erupt.
01:26:09And Flair's watching on.
01:26:11Blocked.
01:26:12Right, oh, again.
01:26:14Nothing.
01:26:15They didn't even phase the big guy.
01:26:16Come on, big boy, give me what you got.
01:26:18Let me see what you got.
01:26:20Oh, my goodness.
01:26:21It's like a tree falling on you.
01:26:26He's got Hogan.
01:26:27With a power driver.
01:26:28He's got a power bomb, Hulk Hogan.
01:26:31Uh-oh.
01:26:31No.
01:26:34Oh, he's done some internal damage.
01:26:37The big man has done what he said he was gonna do.
01:26:40And Hulkamania.
01:26:44And Flair is loving it where he's sitting.
01:26:47Look at that.
01:26:49Look at that.
01:26:50Hogan's back up.
01:26:51No one's ever gotten up from that.
01:26:54He's not human.
01:26:56Vader, he's behind you.
01:26:58Turn around.
01:27:00Now, Hogan.
01:27:02Lay him in to the 452-pound monster.
01:27:13Hogan got up from the power bomb.
01:27:16He got up to his feet.
01:27:17The Macho Man standing with him side by side.
01:27:21Ladies and gentlemen, on the 19th of February in Baltimore,
01:27:26there's gonna be a collision like never before seen in WCW
01:27:30as Hogan and Vader go one-on-one for the World Heavyweight title.
01:27:36Baltimore is gonna look like Kobe, Japan.
01:27:38It's gonna be totally destroyed when these two meet in Baltimore.
01:27:45It's Vader time.
01:27:48Hulk Hogan and the Macho Man Randy Savage win the tag team event
01:27:52here in Las Vegas at the Clash of the Champions.
01:27:55Ric Flair at ringside.
01:27:57Vader at ringside.
01:27:59Hogan got up from the power bomb.
01:28:01That's what I was gonna say.
01:28:02Gave him the power bomb and Hogan pops up and is ready to fight.
01:28:08You're looking at the map.
01:28:10The champ's going down.
01:28:12February 19th.
01:28:13Baltimore, be there.
01:28:15Witness history.
01:28:18He says the champ's going down in Baltimore.
01:28:21And fans, you can see it on pay-per-view on Sunday, the 19th of February.
01:28:25And there's a lot of time, Brain.
01:28:27I wanna let the fans know a lot of time between now and the 19th of February.
01:28:32You can better believe these two guys are gonna collide again.
01:28:35Oh, yes.
01:28:36It's not over.
01:28:37There may not even be a pay-per-view on February 19th.
01:28:40One may be in the hospital.
01:28:42One may be taking a dirt nap.
01:28:44Oh, yeah, the Hulkster and the Macho Man.
01:28:51I can't believe the action we've seen here on the Clash of Champions.
01:28:53All right, as the fans call out to the Monster Maniac, take a look at the power bomb, Brain.
01:28:59Look, I thought he was going for the piledriver.
01:29:02He picked up Hogan up on his shoulder.
01:29:04He broke a man's back with that.
01:29:06I thought this was the end of Hulkamania.
01:29:08But no, Hulk got up.
01:29:10Savage came back after a tremendous beating.
01:29:12Two on one.
01:29:13But the big man proved his point.
01:29:15He's the man.
01:29:17He's the man.
01:29:18He's Vader.
01:29:19And, Hogan, you surprised me.
01:29:21You reached down and got something I didn't think you had.
01:29:24But Hogan is alive.
01:29:26Hulkamania is alive.
01:29:27And Vegas is on fire.
01:29:29And the Hulkster calling out to the capacity crowd on hand at the Sports Pavilion.
01:29:34The scene of many great events, sporting events, and the scene of what truly will go down
01:29:39is one of the hardest-hitting Clash of the Champions.
01:29:41We have seen the fans loving it here.
01:29:44And Hogan still wants Vader.
01:29:45Oh, he wants to go faster.
01:29:47He wants to go like that wherever Vader went out of the parking lot.
01:29:53Oh, yeah, the Hulkster.
01:29:55World Championship Wrestling is on fire.
01:30:00Boy, like never before.
01:30:02You thought the 80s was hot.
01:30:04Forget it.
01:30:05The 90s are gonna burn your feet, burn your hands.
01:30:08WCW.
01:30:11Wow.
01:30:11Oh, yeah, calling out to the Hulkamaniacs crowded in here.
01:30:17The Hulkster going ballistic.
01:30:23Boy, you get your money's worth here.
01:30:25This was free.
01:30:27And think of it.
01:30:28Think of the action they saw.
01:30:33The Hulkster, the macho man with a high ten.
01:30:39And he wants Vader.
01:30:40It's Vader time.
01:30:42Boy, Hogan's ready.
01:30:43They should go to an insane asylum.
01:30:45There's something wrong with both of them.
01:30:47Tony, can you believe that?
01:30:49Hogan lay flat on that mat.
01:30:51Savage climbs to the top rope, drops the big elbow on him.
01:30:54It gives him some adrenaline.
01:30:56He pops back up to his feet.
01:30:57I couldn't believe that.
01:30:58They're defeating the Savage Cook to be standing in the ring right now.
01:31:02It shows you what kind of a man a macho man is.
01:31:05They're both lunatics.
01:31:07And then Vader comes out here, climbs into the ring.
01:31:10Nails Savage to the floor.
01:31:12Picks up Hulk Hogan like a child, like a cabbage patch doll,
01:31:15and power bombs him to the middle of that mat.
01:31:18And Hogan pops back up to his feet.
01:31:21Unbelievable.
01:31:23This coming Saturday night, the Macho Man will face Arn Anderson
01:31:26for the World Television title at 605.
01:31:28And don't forget, Super Brawl on the 19th.
01:31:31Fans, we'll see you then.
01:31:32Good night, everybody.
01:31:33Wow.
