00:00Alright ladies and gentlemen, I wanted to bring this man out to the ring, once again
00:07the chairman of the WCW Executive Committee, Mr. James J. Dillon.
00:12I understand back at the staging area, here tonight at Nitro, Eric Bischoff is throwing
00:18a tantrum.
00:19Oh my.
00:20Well, he's beside himself and I don't know what he could possibly be upset about.
00:25He knows how badly WCW has wanted this match.
00:28He knows that I personally committed to making the match and everything he's come up with,
00:32I've agreed to.
00:33You know, he's trying to weasel out of this thing, constantly, week after week, he's coming
00:37up with stipulations, throwing them in, but you're coming back at him pretty good, JJ.
00:41That's right.
00:42No matter what he comes up with, I think he's basically figured out.
00:45I'm going to say yes, because I haven't said no to anything so far.
00:49Well, the latest one, of course, he asked him for a number of, apparently we have got
00:54another uninvited guest.
00:55Gentlemen, please bear with me.
00:56This is getting to the point that it has taken him physically ill, Tony.
00:57Hey, just look at him, making him physically ill.
00:58And someone actually likes him.
00:59Who likes him?
01:00Some lady.
01:01I'm not getting into that.
01:02Oh, wow.
01:03Wee.
01:04He's that type.
01:05Obviously, you've got something on your mind, Bischoff.
01:06It's real simple.
01:07I want to know.
01:08He's got something on his mind.
01:09He's got something on his mind.
01:10He's got something on his mind.
01:11He's got something on his mind.
01:12He's got something on his mind.
01:13Wait, wait.
01:16He's a diaper.
01:17Harry, Harry, Harry.
01:19Obviously you've got something on your mind, Bishop.
01:21Harry, Harry, Harry.
01:22It's real simple.
01:24I want to know who he thinks he's going to use for a referee in my match.
01:32What, you going through everything now?
01:34It's a referee.
01:35Will you give me a break?
01:36I can come up with a qualified referee.
01:39Randy Anderson.
01:41Don't get any better than him.
01:44Another fat guy.
01:46No, I don't think so.
01:48Let me tell you something.
01:50I want a tall referee.
01:52A tall referee that can see everything from every angle.
01:58Kevin Nash, take it or leave it.
02:00Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
02:02No, not Kevin Nash.
02:03That's ridiculous.
02:04He's asking for Kevin Nash.
02:05You know what will happen there.
02:06Scott Dickinson.
02:07Scott Dickinson.
02:08Now, Scott Dickinson is very qualified.
02:12J.J., you can't keep picking guys fatter than you.
02:17I move.
02:18I go.
02:20Well, maybe you've got a suggestion.
02:22Somebody that can keep up with me.
02:25Give me a suggestion.
02:26Six, six.
02:27Hey, listen, he's got a bad neck.
02:29He can't hurt anybody.
02:30Oh, get lost.
02:31He's going to call it right down the middle.
02:33I don't think he's physically up to the chore.
02:36Anyway, J.J., this is a test again for you.
02:39I think I've got it figured out where he's going.
02:42I'll tell you what.
02:45What if I pick somebody, one of your guys, and I'll agree to it.
02:51I'll agree to pick one of your guys to be the referee,
02:55but you let me pick which one.
02:57Wait a minute, wait a minute.
02:58No.
02:59No.
03:00You're going to pick an NWO guy?
03:04One of his guys.
03:05One of your guys.
03:06No, don't.
03:07But I've got to pick which one.
03:10No problem.
03:11Scott Norton, Conan, Bugs the Stuff, you name it.
03:16We have got a deal.
03:17Whoa, whoa, whoa.
03:18Is no problem the same as yes?
03:20You picked yes.
03:23Did he say yes?
03:25Yes.
03:27What's J.J. doing here?
03:28Well, now that we've got that little thing out of the way.
03:32Ironed out.
03:33Would you like to meet who I've picked?
03:37Right now.
03:39Right now?
03:40Right now.
03:42Me, Gene, why don't we bring the man out that's going to referee this match?
03:50Okay.
03:53There he is.
03:54Ladies and gentlemen, there he is.
03:58The referee, with the Hitman Heart, has arrived to Nitro.
04:04He is here to show why.
04:06The referee, Eric Bischoff's match at Star King.
04:10Well, that's the man J.J. Dill has picked.
04:13It's okay with Bischoff.
04:15Yeah, it really is.
04:17Why would J.J. do that?
04:21Let's wait and see.
04:22Eric loves it.
04:24Look at this, ladies and gentlemen.
04:26No doubt about it, he is here.
04:28One of the biggest moments in Nitro.
04:30One of the biggest stars in our sport.
04:32This is getting to be more like Let's Make a Deal,
04:35and apparently this is...
04:36That's my choice.
04:37Kosher with all parties concerned.
04:40Bret Hart, welcome to Nitro.
04:43Welcome to Nitro.
04:47Took a long time to get here.
04:51And it's great to be here.
04:56It's great to be in Ric Flair country.
05:03This is it.
05:05That's the magic.
05:08So if you're looking for a referee...
05:12Is that what you want?
05:13Referee.
05:17I would be honored to be the referee for this match.
05:25Bret, man.
05:267.5 mil a year, Ted Turner's money.
05:30You, me, for life.
05:35Well, I don't know what's your association,
05:37just what we've seen in the past.
05:40Pretty happy.
05:41He is very happy.
05:42But...
05:50Do what you can.
05:53Win if you can.
05:56But don't look to me for any help.
06:017.5 million a year and you get this?
06:06Because nobody knows better than I do
06:09what it's like to get screwed over by a referee.
06:16So you're on your own, Jack.
06:19You're on your own, Fishoff.
06:21I think he said Jack.
06:22Jack is good enough for me, too.
06:24Look at this guy's beside himself.
06:28Tony.
06:29He's going down.
06:30Wait a minute.
06:31There may be some more book made here, as I said.
06:34He's having an aneurysm.
06:37More like, let's make a deal every day.
06:41Bret.
06:42Bret.
06:457.5 million a year, weekend's up.
06:49Bret.
06:55Tony, we're going to leave that up in the air
06:56as I throw it back to you guys.
06:59Enough is enough.
07:00Bret Hart turns around on that one.
07:03Fishoff doesn't know what to do.
07:06He's trying to come up with a thought.
07:08A plan.
07:09Something.
07:10It comes back to our thought.
07:12Is he in W.O. or not?
07:14I still don't know.
07:15But he is here.
07:17And he will be the special referee
07:20for Eric Fishoff and Larry Zabiskoff's star game.
