00:00Benoit, Kurt Hennig will be coming out in just a few moments. I'll tell you guys what an electric hour number three
00:06We have for our fans here tonight
00:10And there you see the nwo fans stand up and react Tony didn't Kevin Nash imply that
00:17He said he did he knew what he was gonna do. He knew what direction he was going
00:21He seemed very confident to me, but of course he would
00:25I don't think you have trouble getting a partner to you
00:27I think he did more than just imply. I think he said hey, I've got one
00:32and here comes
00:34the tandem and I say tandem of Kurt Hennig and
00:37Rick Rude because certainly Rude has been a major factor in his victories over the past couple of months
00:44Quite a team that is formed within the new world order. They are inseparable lifetime friends Rick Rude and Kurt Hennig
00:53The wrestler that made Minnesota famous you really think that huh what he told me
00:58And you believe it
01:00If you don't believe me and nonetheless ask Irene Kurt Hennig makes his way to the ring and we've got
01:07We've got a company here Mike today
01:11It's right over to Mike today's right shoulder, it's Rick Rude
01:15All right
01:17Smart move there Mike. You're not qualified to handle this business today. Nice-looking tie Rick. Thank you, Bobby
01:27Rick Rude has joined us as you can clearly see in our broadcast location
01:31I guess you feel you're the only man qualified to probably call a Kurt Hennig matchup. Well, I do know all about Kurt Hennig
01:39We go back over 25 years
01:41I know that and Jim the Anvil Neidhardt comes out and there's certainly there's a lot of discussion about
01:47You Hennig as it relates to Neidhardt as it relates to certainly Brett the Hitman Hart to the British Bulldog
01:54But I need to ask you something
01:56There was all you were in the ring a lot of concern when big sexy the giant killer Kevin Nash
02:02Said he had a tag-team partner. Let's talk about the business at hand. Let's talk about
02:08His way the entire Hart family. I'll bet Stu Hart is up in Canada somewhere with the doors barred
02:17Getting snowballs no answer from Rick Rude about this mystery partner
02:22MWL concern I'll tell you that. All right. I know Rick Rude. You want to talk about Kurt Hennig?
02:26Let's do it. Jim the Anvil Neidhardt tries to get in and Hennig tries to keep him on the outside
02:31That's what you call being aggressive
02:33I don't think there's any question that that Henning one of the most aggressive men in our sport here comes the Anvil though
02:39Certainly Anvil with purpose here
02:41He did not forget and has not forgotten what you guys did to the British Bulldog when you handcuffed him to the tub rope not too long ago Rick Rude
02:50Well, I don't think anyone's gonna forget that
02:52At least I won't but the fact of the matter is right here
02:56Jim Neidhardt is going to get some more of the same that we dished out today
03:00Oh
03:01Look at this pointing out towards you Rick Rude
03:04Neidhardt a double ax handle blow said that one was for you
03:08If he wanted me he could come up here and have me but he don't want no part of Rick Rude
03:12He's having his hands full with Kurt Hennig right now
03:16And he goes upside down on the tub rope and yeah, look at this you rude. I
03:22Mean that's he's not coming here. Is he? Well, no, I going back to the point of attack
03:27But he is as focused on Rick Rude as he is on Kurt Hennig in the ring
03:35At least have a shot at beating this man and right now, you know, you got a call as you see it guys
03:39It's been all Jim Neidhardt here. That's how you see it. Shivani. That's why I'm out here right now
03:44Kurt is feeling out Jim Neidhardt and it won't be long before he has the upper hand. Okay, I don't doubt it this stop it
03:51This feeling that process continues as he could slam hard to the mat
03:55From
03:56Wow, I mean this
03:59Neidhardt
04:00Focused on one ravishing Rick Rude who's at our broadcast location as he can tell here. He comes where you know
04:08mounting to come back here
04:10To the jaw and now Neidhardt. I tell you
04:14Tactics gouging the eyes going raking the face
04:17Of Kurt Hennig, I think the referee needs to do his job
04:20Start calling some of these, you know, you're right. The man's on the ropes. He should be making a break
04:24I mean, I just have to call it. I see
04:27You too much. He's raking the eyes. He's there you go for Kurt up against the ropes and
04:34I'm gonna get a closer look at that
04:37That clunk you heard was rude dropping the headset. Oh, I thought he never he said stop it
04:42He said he had to get a closer look and you see him being waved in by Hennig
04:46Rude is making his way to the boy. Is he ever he's running to the ring?
04:49There's a closer look. All right
04:51Oh, he shut the referee down! That's gonna cost him. He said
04:57Put on Rick Rude and that double axe handle now from Hennig. They're double teaming Neidhardt
05:03Well, it's like the old days if you get in a fight with Kurt Hennig
05:05You had to fight him and Rude and vice versa. And Rude's going to the pocket. He's got the handcuffs again
05:10This time he's got it on Neidhardt. Like he said, they did it to the Bulldog. They'll do it to Neidhardt. That's right, one week ago
05:16They did it to the British Bulldog and now Neidhardt at the mercy of Rude, Hennig and the handcuffs. Mike Tenet has joined us back once again
05:24And I think this has all been an elaborate plan Mike. Obviously just another example of the new world order their assault on
05:32Jim the Anvil Neidhardt obviously well thought out, well prepared game plan. But it's been some, here comes the British Bulldog!
05:40This has become something very personal with Hennig and Bret Hart and his entire family
05:46And now the British Bulldog has seen enough. The Bulldog nailing Hennig. Now Rude, Bryan Adams has come in. Bryan Adams picks up the Bulldog and drives him down with a piledriver
06:00Numbers game just too strong at this point. The new world order in control. Mike, Rude just took his belt off and he choked Neidhardt with it. His eyes are popping out of his mouth, look at that
06:11Very graphic look. What are you laughing about? Neidhardt needs glasses to keep his eyes in. Stop it!
06:17Once again the NWO taking control. Oh, and he hits the ropes. Referee Scott Dickinson is down. That's gotta be a fine. And I hope it's a big one.
06:28Bret the Hitman Hart is here. He's arrived. Here he comes. Hello! And they erupt at the United Center for Bret Hart.
06:39Rude getting plastered by right hand. He's taking on all three men. Bret Hart repeated blows to the head.
06:51Now a big bear hug by Bryan Adams and he pounds him all the way to the mat.
06:56But look what Bret Hart's doing in here. He's taking care of everybody. Rick Rude, hard Henning, Bryan Adams. He has come in here and has cleaned house as Neidhardt is still handcuffed on his second rope.
07:09Bret the Hitman Hart completely. A one man assault team coming to the aid of his brother-in-law's British Bulldog and Jim the Animal Neidhardt.
07:20This is something very, very personal with Henning and the Hart family. There's no question about that, Bray.
07:28No question about it at all. He didn't care who was in the ring or how many. He was gonna go in there, Bret the Hitman Hart, and stop what was happening.
07:35And he did. And now Doug Dillinger coming out with his spare keys.
07:41I'm not paying attention. I said it last week and I'm gonna say it again. This kind of stuff is coming to an end.
07:51Nobody knows better than I do what it's like to get screwed. And as far as the NWO goes, yeah, you and everybody like you, I'm gonna tear you down brick by brick until I get to the very end.
08:11And Hogan, your time is coming sooner or later.
08:18Words of warning from Bret the Hitman Hart. And words of warning for each and every member of the NWO from one of the greatest wrestlers ever, a part of WCW.
08:31Back for the TV title, still to come next.
