04:35Ladies and gentlemen, coming to the ring at this time,
04:40wearing black with silver, he's 6 feet 2 inches tall
04:44and weighs 249 and 3 quarter pounds.
04:49From Sarasota, Florida, he is easily
04:52identified by every wrestling fan around the world
04:56and known for his tape-no-prisoners-anything-goes style.
05:02He enters the ring in the company of his savagely sexy underarms,
05:08gorgeous core, Fist Madness 99, and Medusa.

05:47In the company of the one and only gorgeous George
05:51and the beautiful Medusa, the dangerous Medusa,
05:54and the striking, stunning, and very dangerous Fist Madness.
05:58Here's your challenger.
05:59Let's go back to Michael Buffer.
06:03What condition will the champion be in?
06:06That's what I think everybody's waiting to see.
06:08Who was driving the Humvee?
06:21And now, making his entrance to the ring,
06:24wearing black and red of the wolf hat, originally from Detroit,
06:29now from Scottsdale, Arizona, he stands seven feet tall
06:35and weighs 317 pounds.
06:38This superstar is universally recognized
06:41as the world's strongest man in pro wrestling history.
06:45And weighs 317 pounds, this superstar
06:49is universally recognized as the best big man
06:54in professional wrestling, his signature trademark,
06:58the jackknife powerbomb.
07:00But he's also known for his ignore the pain courage.
07:04And tonight, with tractured ribs and bad knees,
07:08he refuses to take on the doctor's advice
07:11to pull out of this match.
07:13Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the reigning and defending two-time WCW
07:21Heavyweight Champion of the World, Big Sexy Kevin Nash!
07:35See that look on his face of concern as well as you know that Kevin Nash is not 100%.
07:41He's hurting.
07:42Yeah, that's not going to stop him. It wouldn't stop Savage.
07:45No.
07:46That's the way these two big-time superstars in our sport are.
07:50For the world of heavyweight title, there's been talk a lot about Savage's premier move,
07:55the top rope elbow being outlawed, being reinstated.
07:59Mike, you do have some word on that move for us.
08:01Yeah, I have received word.
08:03The top rope elbow drop, that patented move of Randy Savage that has gained him
08:08countless victories throughout his career.
08:11It was banned recently by Ric Flair, the president of World Championship Wrestling.
08:16Thursday night on Thunder, Nash asked for it to be reinstated.
08:19And I can tell you that that move is now legal.
08:22The top rope elbow drop is legal.
08:25You can see that Nash was favoring his ribs as he went in there.
08:29And that top rope elbow maneuver drop, he's put on that very tender ribcage.
08:35That may end this match.
08:37Yeah, we're going to have a new World's Heavyweight Champion.
08:39So let's see. Obviously, Savage is going to go for the ribs
08:42that were banged up in that very horrific limousine debacle
08:46that crashed in Athens, Cleveland on Monday, on Monday night, 12,
08:50at the hand of the unknown assailant behind the wheel of the White Humming.
08:55Well, that's what Savage has to do. He has to go over where that man is wounded.
08:58His ribs are bad. His leg's bad. Go for it. Go to it.
09:01Don't let Nash take the upper hand here right now.
09:04Savage, take over.
09:07Well, Nash is keeping the offense on.
09:11Well, it's easier said than done with a man this size.
09:15The trio of beauties on the outside, and not like that,
09:18but the big man comes rocketing in with a back elbow.
09:21Gorgeous George, Miss Madness Medusa.
09:25Letting on to run. It's like Michael Buffer said.
09:28Oh, boy. Pain from Big Sexy on that one.
09:32He tried to connect with the lariat,
09:34ended up shoving in to him with the ribs first,
09:37and that hurt him, obviously.
09:38Well, pretty obvious that this is gonna limit and take away
09:41from a lot of Kevin Nash's offensive ability.
09:44Well, he can still pick him up. Look at this.
09:46And drop. Oh, it hurt him.
09:47That's gonna hurt Nash, too. He knew it.
09:49Hurt both men.
09:51And you know, Nash could at least attempt to make a cover, one would think,
09:55but cannot because of the pain,
09:57because Savage's back is to the mat.
10:00Amazing to fight in this man, Nash, this world champion,
10:03to pick a man up and go for a maneuver like that
10:06with bad ribs and a bad leg.
10:08And can you imagine, under these conditions,
10:10asking for that top rope elbow to be reinstated
10:12because he wanted to beat Savage at his best
10:15and not allow him to have an excuse.
10:17What a champion.
10:18Yeah, he may be making a big mistake.
10:20Double the short jabs and a kick,
10:22and Savage is homing in on the bullseye.
10:26Watch your man trying to shake away the effects
10:29of the opening offense from the world champion, Kevin Nash.
10:33And Nash put the arm up that time to no avail.
10:42Savage is smart enough to know he's got a 5 count to break.
10:45He'll go to limits.
10:46He'll go to 4 and 3 quarters if he has to.
10:48Would have built up a bad blood between these two.
10:51On this, the 13th day of June.
10:53Nash favoring those ribs on that right side.
10:56Savage was involved.
10:58A lady in a duffel bag.
11:01The use of a lipstick.
11:05The horrible crash in the limousine.
11:08And regardless of what comes out of here,
11:10and what could come out of here is not only a new world champion,
11:13but a very good world champion.
11:16And regardless of what comes out of here,
11:18and what could come out of here is not only a new world champion,
11:21but a very severely injured former champion.
11:24If Savage can win.
11:26But I can tell you, the bad blood between these two men,
11:28I... Oh, no!
11:30I don't think's gonna stop with this match.
11:33Medusa got that kick in,
11:35that back leg front kick that time.
11:39And no coincidence, she kicked the ribs of Kevin Nash.
11:42One of those rivalries that was founded
11:44on the mind games of Randy Savage.
11:47And certainly answered and countered
11:49on a couple of occasions by Kevin Nash.
11:52But certainly the bar was raised as well
11:55when Randy Savage had that hummer
11:59continuously ram into the limo
12:01and we're seeing the after effects.
12:03Oh! Again, Medusa.
12:05Saw Savage give the signal.
12:07He's a mastermind at what he's doing.
12:09Again on the ribs.
12:11He's got three beautiful ladies out there.
12:13He's hurt Kevin Nash, the world's heavyweight champion.
12:16He's in control.
12:18He's got one gorgeous lady out there,
12:21gorgeous George.
12:24And again, as he goes down,
12:27this has been 95% blows on the ribs,
12:30kicks, chops.
12:33And why not push on the face, on the mouth,
12:36to try to...
12:40hinder the wind supply here of Kevin Nash.
12:43And one would think with the fractured ribs of Kevin Nash,
12:46that also is going to limit his cardiovascular ability.
12:51And Randy Savage just directing those right hands
12:54into the head of Nash.
12:57What does the world champion have left here?
13:02Does he have a lot left?
13:04We're gonna find out.
13:05We know he's a great champion.
13:07We know he's a fine wrestler.
13:08We're gonna find out what he's made of.
13:10The little poke between the legs that time
13:14caught Savage off guard
13:17and staggered him.
13:19And here come the ladies.
13:21That troops.
13:22Oh!
13:24Missed madness.
13:26In the ribs.
13:27With the missile dropkick.
13:29Here goes Savage.
13:30Watch this.
13:31He's gonna use the elbow, I bet, Tony.
13:33That's the one that was reinstated, as Mike said.
13:35It's his move.
13:37It could end it right now.
13:38Seconds away from him becoming champion.
13:40Oh, that's it!
13:42Caught him high in the chest.
13:44One, two, and Kevin Nash
13:47kicked out of the big elbow.
13:49Oh, the look on Randy Savage's face tells the whole story.
13:52He thought he had him.
13:53He can't believe it.
13:56Don't waste your time with the referee.
13:57Get back to business, Savage.
14:00You know what to do.
14:03What a remarkable show of courage
14:06and determination by the world champ.
14:08He's back up.
14:10After the assault on the ribs,
14:12shutting out the pain,
14:14still Savage trying to drive the fist in.
14:16Nash will have none of it.
14:18He picks him up.
14:19And ends it all.
14:21Drives him jaw first.
14:23Look at him.
14:24Nash is really in trouble.
14:25Yeah, but look at him gut it out.
14:27What a competitor.
14:28Got the big boot up.
14:31Down is Savage.
14:33Nash.
14:39Kevin Nash holding the ribs.
14:42Pulls down the singlet.
14:45And going for the jackknife powerbomb.
14:49Put a lot of people out with this.
14:52That's it.
14:54Medusa kicks the ribs again.
14:58Medusa kicks the ribs again.
15:01Gorgeous George on the back of Kevin Nash.
15:09Gorgeous George goes down.
15:14Savage.
15:16As the girls are in.
15:17Mismadness up top.
15:20Savage dares him to jump.
15:22He's got her.
15:24Ooh, yeah.
15:27Nash with snake eyes on Mismadness.
15:30We've got somebody in the ring.
15:32And my God, look who that is.
15:35Oh my God, what's he doing here?
15:37It's Sid Vicious.
15:39You've got to be kidding.
15:42That is one bad customer right there, guys.
15:46That is one bad, bad man.
15:48One bad, bad man.
15:50Maybe one of the baddest.
15:52Out of nowhere, Sid Vicious walks in.
15:58You're talking about a man who's nuts.
16:03He's going to try to powerbomb a man who's already injured.
16:07He can't do it.
16:08He can't take that.
16:12Oh, he's one sick individual.
16:15This man is, look at him, look at him.
16:17Oh, yes, he's psychotic.
16:19That's exactly what he is.
16:22He's full blown nuts.
16:23And just maybe, if I could speculate,
16:26do you think he was vicious behind the wheel?
16:29Tony, that's a good one.
16:31Now it makes sense.
16:33It seems to, but sometimes you get no logic out the window.
16:39Is he the newest member of Team Savage?
16:42Guys, it sure looks like it.
16:44The winner by disqualification and still reigning
16:48and defending WCW Heavyweight Champion of the World,
16:55Big Sexy Kevin Nash.
17:01The last thing we expected.
17:04The most shocking turn of events tonight was Sid Vicious.
17:10The monster of a man he is.
17:12The nutcase that he is.
17:14One of the most lethal men in pro wrestling
17:17walks back into WCW,
17:19helping Randy Savage,
17:21further hurting the ribs of a man
17:24who's still the World Heavyweight Champion.
17:26For Mike Dene, for Gene Oakland,
17:28for Bobby The Brain Heenan,
17:29we'll see you tomorrow night in Nitro.
17:31For now, have a good night from the Great American Bash.
