00:40here in 1996.
00:41And it's going to take place in this arena, and we're talking, of course, about our main
00:42event.

09:06There was something amazing
09:10There was something amazing
09:12about Billy continuation of
09:13about Billy continuation of
09:15Alex Wright in trouble here, but the Canadian Crippler Chris Benoit is slow to get up.
09:21Benoit, expending a tremendous amount of effort here, is going for a suplex.
09:26Nice reversal.
09:27Standing switch, go behind, duck under.
09:31Knee to the midsection.
09:33Alex Wright trying to get advantage.
09:35He is going.
09:36Oh, man, I'll tell you what.
09:38Nice turn in.
09:39Elbow.
09:40Alex Wright.
09:41I tell you, this thing is fast and furious.
09:42European uppercut.
09:43Bottled up by another.
09:44Alex Wright in control of the contest.
09:46This thing is going back and forth.
09:47The Canadian Crippler drops Alex Wright.
09:49Alex Wright in trouble now.
09:51Did the referee say that was an open palm?
09:53That looked like knuckles to me.
09:54Boom.
09:55Oh, my goodness.
09:56Target suplex.
09:57He's got him.
09:58Oh.
10:01Yes, he got him, all right.
10:03And the Canadian Crippler Chris Benoit avenging his loss last week to Steven Regal with a German suplex.
10:13He was close to crippling another one there, wasn't he?
10:15Face full of spit there from Brian Pillman.
10:19This guy, I'm telling you what, he is walking thin ice.
10:22Don't be surprised if you don't see Brian Pillman in WCW a whole lot longer.
10:27He needs to go get a rabies shot.
10:29Well, he might be in the doghouse for a while, but he's still a member of the Horsemen.
10:33There, Alex Wright kicks at Brian Pillman.
10:36He was just defending himself.
10:38He comes over the top rope.
10:39Didn't do him any good.
10:41The Canadian Crippler, he's got things right where he wants them right now.
10:44He's got Alex Wright right where he has to have him, and that's at his mercy.
10:48Goes from behind.
10:50Takes him over.
10:51Suplex for the one, two, and three.
10:54It's a tainted victory as far as I'm concerned.
10:56Pillman interfered with the match.
10:58It's still a victory.
10:59All right.
11:00We've got Eddie Guerrero versus Steven Regal coming your way.
11:04More exciting hard-hitting action right here on Nitro with the big boys play.
11:12And we are back.
11:15Live, Charleston, South Carolina.
11:19WCW Nitro Live V without question.
11:24Often imitated.
11:25I get a kick out of that too, by the way, but can't be duplicated,
11:28particularly our success because of you fans.
11:31You've decided who the number one wrestling organization is,
11:35and coming up, you're going to see why.
11:38Another one of the international superstars, the young athletes,
11:42debut to a national television audience by WCW.
11:46Eddie Guerrero stepping into the ring with Lord Steven Regal.
11:51Bobby, another man who is on a roll, so to speak.
11:54Big win last week over him.
11:56Well, Steven Regal is on a roll, you know, and the man is a lord.
11:59He's here from England.
12:01He demands respect.
12:02He teamed up with the Earl of Eton, and he's on a roll right now.
12:06He's undefeated for, I don't know, the last couple of months.
12:09Just watch it, Steven Lee Regal.
12:10The man is a-
12:12Wait a minute, I want to ask you, what's the deal with Esquire David Taylor?
12:17What's that about?
12:18Well, he's a new member of the Blue Blood, for all you know.
12:22Esquire is the Blue Blood?
12:24I think we're getting a little out of hand here.
12:26Now, Jeeves is more of a Blue Blood than Esquire, for God's sake.
12:30Well, I'll tell him you said that.
12:32Eddie Guerrero, high-flying, explosive action coming your way
12:38right here in this contest, and you've got to hand it to Eddie Guerrero,
12:41an athlete that he doesn't care who the challenge is.
12:44He doesn't care how big the mountain is.
12:46He's going to climb it.
12:47He's going to take it on, and I'll tell you what,
12:50you've got to admire a young athlete like Eddie Guerrero.
12:53Look at that mountain he's going against here.
12:55He's stepping up a few divisions in weight class here, isn't he?
12:58Well, I'll tell you something about his lordship.
13:00He stands a mat wrestler.
13:01He'll stand up and fight you.
13:03He can do aerial moves.
13:04He's on his way, him and the Earl of Eden.
13:07Eventually, I predict they're going to be WCW Tag Team Champions.
13:11Guerrero's just lucky to be in there with him.
13:13Well, you could indeed be right, and Steve, we've talked about it before.
13:16You know, you look at Regal.
13:18Here's a guy that has been wrestling literally since he was 15 years old
13:21as a professional, left home, left England,
13:23because he wanted to pursue a career in professional wrestling.
13:26He's wrestled in India.
13:27He's wrestled in Southeast Asia.
13:29He's wrestled all over Europe, obviously.
13:31He's wrestled in the Soviet Union, and now he's wrestled here in the United States
13:34and done extremely well.
13:36I mean, when he went out to wrestle, they said,
13:38go out and make a name for yourself.
13:39Go out and wrestle, and that's what he did.
13:41Just like I heard Mike Ditka the other day on WCW Saturday Night.
13:46He was talking about Steve McMichael.
13:48If he told him to go beat up somebody, he'd go beat up somebody.
13:51That's the way Dick operates.
13:52That's the way Mongo operates.
13:54You are correct, sir.
13:56And isn't that beautiful how many fans?
13:58And it doesn't matter how big or how much of a celebrity they are,
14:01they're all fans of the WCW, my friend,
14:04because this is truly where the big boys play.
14:08Eddie Guerrero, a perfect example of that.
14:10I'll tell you what, Eddie Guerrero, we've talked about it before.
14:14Here's a guy, you can never count him out,
14:16but right now he's in there like we talked about,
14:18a man who has got a lot going on right now in Lord Steve and Regal.
14:21Regal now firing in a twist of the arm,
14:24and this guy can hurt you a lot of different ways.
14:27Again, in case you just joined us, fans,
14:28we want to remind you that coming up in a month of January,
14:31look at this guy go, coming up in a month of January,
14:33to thank you fans for helping to make WCW number one,
14:36our most successful year in our history.
14:40We're going to bring you three of the most exciting,
14:42fast-paced, high-power action hours of wrestling
14:45you can find anywhere absolutely free.
14:47Forget about the Royal Fumble.
14:50Tune in to WCW Nitro on the 22nd.
14:54Clash at the 23rd from the entertainment capital of the world.
14:58Knee to the midsection.
14:59Lord Steve and Regal now with a single-leg pickup
15:01going to work on Guerrero.
15:02And there's going to be a wedding at the Clash of Champions too,
15:05isn't there?
15:06And it's not going to be driving through the chapel there
15:08on Elvis Presley Boulevard in Vegas.
15:11This is going to be right from the Clash.
15:13And I'll tell you what, coming up here in the main event,
15:16you are going to see Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage
15:19teaming up to take on the WCW World Heavyweight Champion,
15:22Ric Flair and Arn Anderson.
15:24That's right.
15:25Right here tonight in the main event,
15:27it is Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and they got a lot of,
15:31I'll tell you what, there's a lot of animosity there.
15:33It goes beyond animosity.
15:35Look at this.
15:36Why would you want to tune in to that other bunch
15:38that are overpricing their pay-per-views
15:40when you can get this kind of action for free?
15:42Just tune in to TNT.
15:46Lord Steve and Regal now hammering away.
15:51Irish whip.
15:53There you go, Eddie.
15:54Get a little aerial on him.
15:55You're going to have to pull all those trick size bags
15:57to beat this big man.
15:58Eric, is Bunkhouse Buck going to be best man at that wedding?
16:01I don't know, man.
16:02This is not a marriage made in heaven.
16:07Are you jealous because she didn't pick you, maybe?
16:09No, no, no, no.
16:10You don't understand.
16:11You wouldn't have said yes to her?
16:13I wouldn't have said anything to her.
16:15I'd have left the room.
16:16And look at Eddie Guerrero go.
16:17Guerrero trying everything in the world.
16:19Necktie takeover.
16:22Drop kick.
16:23Regal able to back out of it.
16:25Guerrero didn't get the whole thing and out.
16:28Steve and Regal really taking it to Guerrero.
16:31Sherry, I wouldn't have kissed her with your mouth, Bobby.
16:35Thumb to the eyes, my lord Steve and Regal.
16:38Thank you.
16:40I'll tell you something about this, Regal.
16:41This man is a...
16:43He studies everything he does.
16:44He watches films.
16:46He reads about people.
16:47He studies people from the past.
16:49He knows the people that are coming up.
16:50He just does his homework.
16:52He is that good of a talent.
16:54Eddie Guerrero able to put on the brakes.
16:56Fires back with a forearm to the back.
16:58Goes down low.
16:59Takes Regal off of his feet.
17:00Smart move.
17:02And now, Eddie Guerrero going for a pinfall here.
17:06There you go, Eddie.
17:07Got a two count.
17:08Come on, Eddie.
17:09Oh, Eddie took a mouthful of forearm there from Lord Steve and Regal.
17:15Regal with a boot to the back of the head.
17:17And Eddie, despite all the fight that he's got in that heart and soul of his,
17:20he is just not able to muster the offense here tonight.
17:24Well, don't make the mistake and count this Eddie Guerrero out.
17:29He is from Texas, my friend.
17:31And let me tell you, us Texans got heart.
17:33We're going to...
17:34You've seen him get up from that kick.
17:36You've seen him get up from that punch.
17:37He's going to...
17:38Mr. Lord...
17:39Mr. Regal's going to have to...
17:41Oh!
17:42He's going to have to take him apart just like that.
17:44Well, unfortunately, Steve, he is taking him apart just like that.
17:48Cover, one, two.
17:50And this is something I got to tell you.
17:52Eddie Guerrero is a guy that's been getting a lot of popularity here in WCW
17:55and all over the world now by virtue of what we just talked about, his heart.
18:00But again, he's in there with one tough customer that has wrestled all over the world.
18:05And one thing that you can't deny is experience.
18:10Experience will always work out.
18:14You can be in a match...
18:16You can be in the wrestling business for two or three years and have ten matches,
18:19it doesn't mean nothing.
18:21If you're in the ring like this man has been all over the world,
18:23like Steven Regal has,
18:25he knows when he steps through those ropes exactly what to do.
18:28Look at him, brother.
18:29I'm telling you, Lord Steven Regal,
18:30he might be full of pomp and circumstance outside the ring,
18:33but he'll brutalize you when he gets in the ring, won't he?
18:36It's like being in the NFL for 15 years.
18:38You just don't know why you're there.
18:40Forearms to the side of the head.
18:42Eddie Guerrero fires back with a shot to the solar plexus.
18:48Regal, so smart, so fast.
18:51Reversal.
18:52Come on, Eddie.
18:55Man, I'll tell you what.
18:57That elbow just about took Guerrero's head off,
18:59but that one might have.
19:00That one might have.
19:01One, two.
19:02He got him, don't get him.
19:03I'm telling you, don't cut this little guy out.
19:05He's got the heart of a champion.
19:07He's not gonna give up.
19:09Yeah, but he's in there with the best.
19:11He's in there with the best England has to offer.
19:13That's why he's here at WCW.
19:14His lordship, Steven Regal.
19:16Regal now just punishing him.
19:17He's slapping him in the face,
19:18palming him with that open palm, perfectly legal.
19:21He's embarrassing him, he's punishing him,
19:24and he's wearing Guerrero down.
19:26He's got all of his weight over Guerrero's upper body.
19:29Guerrero's gotta fight from underneath.
19:31He's gotta expend a tremendous amount of energy
19:33to try to mount any kind of an offense here,
19:35and you can see it in Guerrero.
19:37He's digging down as deep as he can,
19:38but unfortunately, it appears to me,
19:40he is coming up empty here.
19:41And lord Steven Regal with another open hand,
19:44drives a palm, and then a boot into the side of the head.
19:47WCW Nitro, we are live.
19:49We are on TNT, and we are number one.
19:55All right, Eddie, get your dander up, baby.
19:57This big guy's been punishing you long enough.
20:00Well, dander's not gonna help him here.
20:02He better give up. He better surrender.
20:04He better say, I've had enough.
20:06Sure, he gets a couple good moves in.
20:08He's lucky.
20:09But his lordship, Steven Regal,
20:11he just dominates the whole match.
20:13Guerrero, every time he gets off
20:15just a little bit of offense,
20:16Regal comes back, great defense,
20:18and encounters with three or more offensive moves of his own.
20:21Just like that, just like that,
20:23and Guerrero on the receiving end
20:25of yet another devastating elbow,
20:28well-placed right to the top of the post.
20:31That would have been it for most wrestlers,
20:33but this little guy, Eddie Guerrero,
20:35keeps getting up.
20:36There you go.
20:37Make him mad.
20:38I know what happens when the cats get heavy mad at the house.
20:42He takes a bite out of them.
20:44That is vicious.
20:45I mean, come on, Bobby.
20:46You saw it.
20:47I mean, that was vicious.
20:48Well, you have to fight fire and fire.
20:50Look at this!
20:51Look at this!
20:52Oh!
20:53Did you see him?
20:54Did you see how he dug in and kept those feet moving?
20:57Regal couldn't get out of the hole because of that.
21:00Yes!
21:01He got him.
21:02Did he get him?
21:03Eddie Guerrero!
21:06Eddie Guerrero!
21:08What a victory that is for Eddie Guerrero
21:10over his lordship, Steven Regal.
21:13He turned him over and kept those feet driving.
21:16The Lord couldn't get out of that hole because of that,
21:18and it was one, two, three, baby.
21:20I love it.
21:21That's Mr. Guerrero's biggest victory in the WCW.
21:25Nice victory by Eddie Guerrero,
21:28and we've got an exclusive interview,
21:30Gene Oakland, with Sting and Lex Luger,
21:32just exactly what happened at Stargate.
21:34We're gonna find out.
21:35Stay with us.
21:36He beat him.
21:37You can't believe it, can you, brother?
21:38No.
21:39That's what makes this country.
21:40Second-class country.
21:42♪♪
21:48All right, we are back live on the air.
21:50Joining me right now, the total package,
21:52Lex Luger and Sting.
21:53These are a couple of the great stalwarts here at WCW,
21:57unlike the new generation who just added a couple of,
22:00well, let's say this.
22:01They're very close to collecting Social Security.
22:04Gentlemen, your name's very prominent in the news.
22:07I am getting ready to exhale Sting.
22:10You've got some questions for Lex Luger,
22:13and I think this is the perfect forum.
22:15What do you mean, questions?
22:16He's got some questions.
22:17We can answer them in the back.
22:21No, no, no, no, no.
22:22I do have a question.
22:24I've got a question that I want to ask you live
22:28on national TV right here.
22:31Let's have it, Sting.
22:32Yeah, it seems like you have a problem with this.
22:34I'm hoping you don't.
22:35That's all I got to say.
22:36Do you have a problem with this, Lex?
22:38Well, what are we talking about?
22:39The triangle match?
22:40We've already talked about that.
22:41Sometimes in the heat of battle, things happen.
22:44No, no, we're not talking about the heat of the battle.
22:47We're not talking about what happened during the match.
22:49We're talking about what happened after the match.
22:53You know, I've got some still photos here from Stargate.
22:56Do you mind if I show them?
22:58Okay, let's take a look right here.
23:01Now, here we are.
23:02Let's go back to Nashville, Tennessee on the 27th.
23:04Tell us what's going on here, Sting.
23:06What's going on there is I've got a chance to make it back
23:09into the ring right there for the world title,
23:11and Lex, you grabbed my arm and pulled me down
23:14just before the 10 count, so I couldn't get back in the ring.
23:17What is that all about?
23:18That doesn't sound like a friend I'd want to have.
23:21Well, I know everybody's asking your family, friends,
23:23about that, and Stinger, from one friend to another,
23:26if you give me the chance to show you the footage
23:29before that happened, I injured my knee.
23:31I was hurt.
23:32I reached out to you like I always have.
23:34You've always been there as my friend, and I was injured.
23:37I wanted you to help me up, and that's all there was to it.
23:40And one other thing, if you give me the chance once again
23:44in the class coming up from Vegas
23:46to show you what kind of man the Total Package really is
23:49in tag team action.
23:50Doesn't really sound kosher to me, Sting.
23:53I don't know.
23:54I mean, Gene, I'm thinking about it right now.
23:57We've had a few tag matches here and there,
23:59but I've never thought about an actual tag team.
24:02And to be honest with you, now that I think about it,
24:06maybe we would, both of us, make a pretty damn good tag team.
24:09Well!
24:10We'd be the best tag team.
24:12That's what we'd be.
24:13Come on, Stinger.
24:15All right.
24:16Apparently, these two men have bonded right here
24:19on WCW Monday Night Raw.
24:21After all that's been said about Sting and Lex Luger,
24:24they're heading to Las Vegas as a tag team
24:27when they meet the Blue Bloods.
24:28Eric Bischoff, let's get back to you.
24:31All right.
24:32Thanks, Gino.
24:33Coming up next, you'll see the Stinger in action
24:35as he steps into the ring with a guy that's hoping
24:3896 is going to start out better than 95 ended.
24:45All right, coming up this weekend,
24:46WCW Saturday Night 605 Eastern,
24:49part two of the exclusive interview with Mike Gittka.
24:54Formerly of the Chicago Bears, now an NFL analyst
24:57and a return match, the world title on the line,
25:00Ric Flair defends against the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
25:04The most watched wrestling program each and every weekend,
25:07605, this Saturday night.
25:10And here we go.
25:12When you talk about a guy whose fortunes have turned around,
25:16I mean, I don't care how much money he won in Las Vegas,
25:19the fact is his mouth got the better of him.
25:23He put the doll up for grabs.
25:25He not only lost the world television title,
25:28he's lost the Diamond Doll.
25:31I mean, this guy's basically lost it all.
25:34The only thing left is his big mouth.
25:36And everybody, like you and Gene Ogerling,
25:38everybody's calling him Diamond Doll-less.
25:41And he doesn't like that.
25:42Sure, he made a mistake.
25:43He put her up. He shouldn't have put her up.
25:45She shouldn't even be there.
25:46She should have been back in the dressing room
25:48folding socks and towels and earning her keep.
25:51He'll have her back.
25:52He'll have the television title back.
25:54This man's on a roll.
25:55The man's a millionaire.
25:57He's lucky.
25:58You know, he had a terrible 95,
26:00and starting 96 off by losing this thing
26:03is no way to start the year off to boot.
26:06Well, he hasn't lost this thing yet.
26:08Wait, wait.
26:09He hasn't?
26:10No, he hasn't.
26:11He's gonna wrestle the man, isn't he?
26:12No, he hasn't. The bell hasn't rung yet.
26:14Let's explain everything to you.
26:15Well, you never know what can happen here in WCW.
26:18As we have seen, this is controlled,
26:21or I should say not so controlled chaos.
26:24And as Stephen Michael pointed out,
26:28not too long ago, I think it was last week,
26:30chaos, the most powerful form or force on the universe.
26:35A physics professor told me that in college.
26:38I did go to college and go to class.
26:40Not that you'd know anything about that, would you?
26:43I went to UCLA. You went to the barber college.
26:46Little difference there.
26:47You know, I believe Stink and Luger, that interview.
26:51I could see the compassion Lex Luger had
26:54for his good friend Stink.
26:55What the hell do you know about compassion?
26:57Well, I got it written down here someplace.
26:59You see, was that one of the words you looked up this week?
27:02I know all about compassion.
27:03Spend your vocabulary?
27:06Diamond Dallas Page in the Cigar.
27:08I got news for you, Mongo.
27:09I don't know what you think.
27:10And I'll tell you what, Lex Luger said-
27:12Oh, did he rub that cigar in his face?
27:14They would make one heck of a tag team.
27:18If Stink and Luger get together,
27:20they will be the number one contenders
27:22for the tag team belt.
27:23There's no doubt about that.
27:25But if I were Stink,
27:26I'd be watching my back from three wrestlers
27:29if they get in the ring with another tag team,
27:32if you know what I mean.
27:33Diamond Dallas Page,
27:34after rubbing that cigar in the face of Stink,
27:37putting the boots to the back.
27:40Diamond Dallas Page in much better condition
27:42than we've seen him.
27:43He's trying to get the doll back,
27:45is what he's trying to do.
27:46Oh!
27:48Hop kick through the ropes.
27:52I'll tell you, as the weeks go by,
27:54you're right, Bischoff.
27:55This man, Diamond Dallas Page, gets better.
27:57Oh, look at that up over the top rope,
28:00and you talk about a vertical jump,
28:02you talk about explosive power,
28:04you are talking about Stink.
28:06And this guy is electrifying.
28:10He might enter the Olympics this year, who knows?
28:13But Diamond Dallas gets better as the weeks go by.
28:16Stink's got his handful, believe it or not.
28:19Diamond Dallas Page coming up the rope,
28:21steps over Stink, leap frog.
28:23Oh, and Stink got hurt.
28:26Down in the nether regions
28:28where you don't want anybody playing.
28:30The bad part of town.
28:32Diamond Dallas, they say he won $13 million
28:34a couple of months ago,
28:36but that doesn't do any good.
28:38You're all discombobled.
28:39You lose your sweetheart, the Diamond Doll.
28:41You lose the belt to Johnny B. Bad.
28:44This guy, he's discombobled.
28:46He don't know what to do.
28:47And to jump in the ring with a wrestler
28:49of the caliber of Stink is not the right thing to do
28:51when you've got all the forces against you like that.
28:54But he looks like he's doing pretty good now to me.
28:57He's in control right now.
28:59Diamond Dallas is taking
29:01the ex-heavyweight champion of the world,
29:04the ex-United States champion.
29:06Stink has done it all.
29:07And look at this man, Diamond Dallas.
29:09He's taking it to him.
29:11Diamond Dallas Page with a side suplex
29:13follows up with some devastating boots here.
29:15And I got to hand it to you,
29:17Diamond Dallas Page, surprising swinging neckbreaker
29:20in the center of the ring.
29:21And Stink is in trouble here.
29:22You might be right, Heenan.
29:23You know, Mr. Stink might-
29:25Cover, one.
29:26Oh.
29:28He wasted a little time there.
29:29He showboated a little bit, walked around.
29:31That happens.
29:32He's got to focus himself.
29:33He's got to get on Stink.
29:34He's got to keep him grounded.
29:36Don't let him get up.
29:37Don't let you get him in a position
29:38where you can put you in that scorpion death lock.
29:40Keep him right where he is right now.
29:42And this reminder coming up at the main event,
29:44it is going to be Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage
29:46stepping into the ring
29:47with the world heavyweight champion Ric Flair.
29:49And a man is going to have to pass with a metal detector
29:52to get through the ring
29:53based on what happened at Starrcade.
29:54And last week, guys get more metal in his trunks
29:57than anybody I've ever seen.
29:58Are you referring to Arn Anderson?
30:00Yeah, you bet I am.
30:01Mr. Brass Knucks himself.
30:03Well, Mr. Stinger might have been guilty
30:06of being preoccupied with a man named Lex Luger
30:08while he go at that interview
30:09and not worrying about his match with Diamond Dallas here.
30:12He'll be right there.
30:13Page using that middle rope.
30:15Diamond Dallas Page.
30:17I've got to say, I'm surprised here.
30:19He has been the aggressor
30:20throughout the majority of this contest.
30:22And I think he's got Stink frustrated.
30:24I mean, anything can happen here.
30:26We saw what Eddie Guerrero did
30:27after being on the receiving end
30:29of a pretty dominating attack by Lord Steven Regal.
30:33This could be just yet another upset here tonight.
30:36I wouldn't doubt it.
30:37I got to put my money on Diamond Dallas.
30:39This man's a winner.
30:41Well, if the Indianapolis Colts led by my friend Jim Harbaugh
30:45can go into Kansas City and take it to them,
30:47anything can happen in the world of sports.
30:50Tough wrist lock by the Stinger.
30:53And Page takes Sting down
30:56with a little assist from a handful of hair.
30:59You do what you have to do sometimes.
31:01Nothing wrong with that.
31:02And again, coming up, the Clash of the Champions
31:04live Tuesday, January 23rd.
31:06Just one of the great nights
31:07of absolutely free wrestling action
31:09coming your way in the month of January.
31:11Our way of saying, hey,
31:13thank you for making WCW the most watched,
31:16the most popular wrestling program anywhere
31:18and it's because WCW gave the fans
31:20what the fans asked for
31:21and will continue to do so throughout 1996 and beyond.
31:26And let me add that it's going to probably be
31:28the biggest doubleheader in the history of wrestling
31:31with Nitro and the Clash back-to-back.
31:34And coming to you from Caesars Palace,
31:37Las Vegas, Nevada,
31:38entertainment capital of the world.
31:40Here comes Stinger.
31:41Blocks a right hand from Diamond Dallas.
31:43Page fires back with three hard-hitting right hands
31:46of his own.
31:47And the fourth one is a charm.
31:49But look at Diamond Dallas.
31:50He keeps coming.
31:51The man has no reverse gear.
31:53He's not going to retreat.
31:54Ah!
31:56Look at the height he gets on those standings.
31:58When he jumps up and dropkicks,
32:00that man's got some powerful legs.
32:02Stinger's flashed in the corner.
32:04Diamond Dallas, Page,
32:05he's got a rubber leg sweep.
32:06Leg sweep!
32:08And now!
32:09No, no, no, no.
32:10Uh-oh.
32:11The Stinger!
32:12Get him away from the rope, Stinger.
32:14He's too close to the ropes.
32:15He don't have it.
32:16He won't get him locked in.
32:17I tell you what, he's had a lot of success
32:18with that Scorpion Death Lock
32:19in the last couple of months.
32:21And it's a good thing for Page
32:22that he was that close to the ropes
32:24as Page uses those ropes.
32:26Now, Page wouldn't have done that a year ago,
32:28two years ago,
32:29but he does it now.
32:30He uses the ropes.
32:31He takes advantage of everything.
32:32The man is heavy.
32:34The man is now a main eventer.
32:38Diamond Dallas, Page,
32:40in trouble here.
32:41Stinger, one, two,
32:42and a kick-out by Diamond Dallas, Page.
32:44And you can tell,
32:45Page is in better condition
32:46than we have ever seen him.
32:47And that conditioning paying off here.
32:49But he still resorts
32:51to a thumb to the eyes.
32:53Reverse by Stinger.
32:54Stinger,
32:55and a receiving end of an elbow.
32:56And I'll tell you what,
32:58this is a lot more of a contest
32:59than I expected.
33:00I think Sting is definitely under...
33:01Cover, one, two.
33:02He got him.
33:03I think Sting has definitely
33:04underestimated Diamond Dallas.
33:06He better come out of his toolbox
33:08with everything he's got,
33:09or he's in trouble of losing this match.
33:12Well, he's more worried
33:13about losing his friend, Lex Luger.
33:14Forget about that.
33:15Worry about the man
33:16you got in there right now.
33:17Ooh!
33:18The Diamond Man.
33:19Side suplex.
33:20Side suplex reversed.
33:21And in!
33:22Stinger's going!
33:23He's got him out in the middle of the ring.
33:25He's got him out there.
33:26Notice he turned him into the ring.
33:28He didn't turn him the other way.
33:29He kept him away from the ropes.
33:31Come on, Dallas!
33:32Get to the ropes!
33:33This thing is perfected
33:35like Lex Luger's torture rack.
33:37Those are the two best submission holds
33:39in the world of wrestling today.
33:42And I'll tell you what,
33:43as much as Diamond Dallas Page
33:45wanted to start the new year out right,
33:47he picked up right where he left off.
33:50He lost the world television title.
33:52He lost the Diamond Doll.
33:55And now, he said,
33:57hey, I can't take it anymore.
33:59I quit on the receiving end
34:01of a submission Scorpion Death Lock.
34:04Well, he had no place to go.
34:06If you notice, when Sting slapped that on him,
34:08he could have turned him to the right or to the left.
34:11Comes over that top rope,
34:12right down on Diamond Dallas.
34:14From that top rope, over the top rope,
34:16to the floor.
34:18Stinger splash in the corner.
34:19Diamond going no place.
34:22Believe me, Diamond does not know where he's at.
34:24Sting knows where he's at.
34:25Puts him where he wants him.
34:26Watch him.
34:27He turns him into the ring,
34:29away from the ropes.
34:30That's a veteran move.
34:31That's a championship move.
34:33Dallas fought hard.
34:34Sting, I consider a lucky man.
34:36Well, the way Dallas' luck is going,
34:38when we get to Vegas,
34:39he's probably gonna lose that 13 million.
34:42I doubt it.
34:43I'm gonna hang with him.
34:44Him and I are gonna hit the tables.
34:45We're gonna hit some of the slots.
34:46We're gonna-
34:47All right, we've got more tremendous action
34:49coming your way,
34:50including our main event.
34:53A match that should be on pay-per-view.
34:56Arn Anderson, the World Heavyweight Champion.
34:59Ric Flair taking on Hulk Hogan
35:01as a Macho Man.
35:02Randy Savage next, live.
35:06Coming up, the Clash of the Champions,
35:08live from Cesar's Palace in Las Vegas,
35:10Tuesday, January 23rd,
35:128.05 p.m.,
35:14and WCW will continue to bring you
35:17the best, the most exciting wrestling action
35:19you can find anywhere, live,
35:21and this Monday,
35:22to say thanks for all of the support
35:24and helping to make WCW number one.
35:27Everything you give from WCW is absolutely free,
35:30and I'll tell you what.
35:31We have got some big stuff coming up here
35:34in the main event.
35:35You have got the former World Heavyweight Champion
35:37here in WCW, Hulk Hogan,
35:39teaming up with the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
35:41to take on Arn Anderson,
35:42and the current World Champion, Ric Flair.
35:45And Hogan said it last week,
35:46I'll take on all four of the Horsemen
35:48if I have to.
35:49He wants it.
35:50He just may have to,
35:51because you know Benoit's in the building,
35:53Pillman's in the building,
35:54Flair's in the building,
35:55Anderson's in the building.
35:57What do you expect, Hogan?
35:58You expect to get in the ring with just two men?
36:00No, something's gonna break loose here,
36:02and it's gonna be done Horseman style.
36:04Mongo, I'll tell you what.
36:06The Macho Man, Randy Savage,
36:07he wants Arn Anderson.
36:08I mean, he blames Arn Anderson
36:11for causing him the World Title at Starrcade.
36:13Well, I brought it up earlier.
36:14Mr. Pillman is selling them wolf tickets,
36:16and that's just enough to get Hogan and Savage fired up.
36:20That's what they need.
36:21They don't need to be sleeping during this match.
36:23They better get it all out on the table, baby,
36:26and use it all,
36:27because there will be four guys up there in that ring,
36:29just like he said,
36:30because they're scalawags,
36:31and it shouldn't happen, but it does.
36:33Well, we talked about it at the very end of the broadcast.
36:35Charleston, South Carolina,
36:36we are coming to you live.
36:37These were the first shots of the Civil War.
36:39We're fired not far from here, Fort Sumter,

36:42the first shots at tonight's main event
36:44are coming your way in just a matter of seconds,
36:46without any further delay.
36:47Let's go to the ring.

36:52A special tag team grudge match,
36:54the Civil War Criminals,

36:57representing the Horsemen.
36:59First, from Charlotte, North Carolina,

37:04the WCW-
37:05Oh, yeah.
37:06Here we go, the main event.
37:09There's no fight in the war.
37:10Coming your way,
37:13and the Rockets spread glare.
37:16Ric Flair bursting in air.
37:18Oh, God, please don't get me sick,
37:20whatever you do.
37:21Please.
37:22I love it.
37:23I can't wait to see these guys go down in flames.
37:28Whether you love it or not,
37:31an unprecedented,
37:3312-time world heavyweight champion,
37:36and Ric Flair,
37:37and a man that, like I said,
37:39had to go through a metal detector
37:41to make his way to the ring,
37:43Arn Anderson.
37:44The only man I know
37:45was strip searched before a wrestling match,
37:47but sometimes you have to do those things.
37:50Arn Anderson's a tag team world champion.
37:53Ric Flair, 12-time world champion.
37:55Hogan's been a champion.
37:56Savage has been a champion.
37:58The whole kit and caboodle tonight,
38:00it's gonna hit the fan, baby.
38:02The biggest names in our sport today,
38:06in the main event,
38:08and coming up next,
38:09it will be Hulk Hogan and the Macho Man,
38:12Randy Savage,
38:13triple main event,
38:14right here,
38:15live from Charleston,
38:16and we'll have it for you
38:17when we come back,
38:18right after this very brief time out.
38:25And welcome back.
38:27We are live,
38:28and we are coming to you
38:31for the main event.
38:35That is a pay-per-view
38:36anywhere else on the planet.
38:39Hulk Hogan,
38:40the Macho Man,
38:41Randy Savage,
38:42stepping into the ring
38:44to take on Arn Anderson
38:46and the current WCW
38:48World Heavyweight Champion,
38:51Ric Flair.
38:54Anyplace else on the planet
38:55don't have these wrestling gods
38:57wrestling for them.
38:59They got a bunch of has-beens
39:00and so-sos, baby.
39:02But look at these.
39:03Look at these boys.
39:04They're gonna take care
39:05of business, Mr. Heenan.
39:06Well, Savage has on the yellow and red.
39:08Their teams, their partners,
39:10they're making their way
39:11to the ring,
39:12but they're gonna have to get in there
39:13with the 12-time heavyweight
39:14champion of the world
39:15and Arn Anderson,
39:16a man that will do anything.
39:18And, Hogan,
39:19can you trust Savage?
39:20Savage, can you trust Hogan?
39:22Let's see.
39:23There are other horsemen
39:24lurking around.
39:25There are a lot more
39:26than other horsemen
39:27lurking around.
39:29And here we go.
39:31Oh, yeah.
39:32The one and only
39:35Hulk Hogan!
39:38The Macho Man, Randy Savage.
39:42And the reason why
39:43WCW is number one.
39:47And thank you.
39:51Well, I like what Flair did here.
39:53Flair and Anderson,
39:54they got out of the ring.
39:55They let Hogan showboat.
39:57They let Savage walk around
39:58and showboat.
39:59They're gonna dictate
40:00the pace of this match.
40:01Hogan, you're gonna have
40:02to wrestle horseman style.
40:04So are you, Savage.
40:07Well, it's gonna be interesting
40:09to see how Arn Anderson
40:12and the Nature Boy, Rick Flair,
40:13fare here without any help
40:15from additional assistance
40:18from what's left of the four horsemen.
40:19We talked about it earlier on.
40:21There is not a lot of cohesiveness
40:24among the four horsemen.
40:25You got the young guns
40:26of Benoit and Pillman.
40:27Pillman will lose cannon.
40:28Benoit, a little bit unpredictable
40:30himself.
40:31And you saw Arn Anderson.
40:32I mean, can you imagine
40:33Arn Anderson being
40:34the most consistent voice
40:36of reason amongst
40:37the four horsemen?
40:38I mean, that's gotta
40:39make you nervous.
40:40Well, he's been that way
40:41for years.
40:42He's always been the foundation
40:43of this team.
40:44You know Flair.
40:45You know how arrogant he is.
40:46He's always going to do
40:47what he wants to do.
40:48Arn is the foundation
40:50that holds the horsemen together.
40:51Now, Hogan and Savage
40:53have no foundation.
40:54They haven't wrestled
40:55as a team as long
40:56as the horsemen have.
40:57You watch.
40:58They're not gonna fare
40:59that well.
41:00They're not gonna
41:01fare very well
41:02if Benoit and Pillman
41:04come out of that dressing room.
41:06If I was Hogan and Savage,
41:08I would have made sure
41:09them two don't want to leave.
41:11And listen to this crowd
41:12respond to Hulk Hogan.
41:14Hogan with a shoulder tackle
41:15takes Ric Flair off his feet.
41:17And Flair immediately
41:18backing into the corner.
41:22Don't lose it, Ric.
41:23Don't let him make you mad.
41:25Look at those eyes.
41:26Go out there and play
41:27Hogan's game.
41:28Will you, Ric?
41:29Make that mistake.
41:30No, you wrestle your game.
41:32Make Hogan make his mistake.
41:36You've been watching
41:37too many X's and O's
41:38on the chalkboard.
41:39This is different.
41:40This is in the ring.
41:41Cullen elbow hook up.
41:42The Nature Boy, Ric Flair
41:43into his side.
41:44Headlock goes into a hammerlock
41:45as he goes behind.
41:46Hulk Hogan.
41:47Flair giving up a lot
41:48of height here.
41:49But Hulk Hogan
41:50reverses into a hammerlock.
41:51Dropped to a hold takedown
41:52by the Nature Boy
41:53into a front facelock.
41:55Sit out, turn, hammerlock.
41:58Hulk Hogan.
42:00Sit here.
42:01You want to wrestle?
42:02We'll wrestle.
42:03You want to brawl?
42:04We'll brawl.
42:05Hulk Hogan, the man
42:06that can put it all together.
42:10Well, you don't want
42:11a man's strength with Hulk Hogan.
42:12What is Flair thinking?
42:13What can he be thinking
42:14wanting to grip up
42:15with Hulk Hogan like that?
42:17Man.
42:19That's it.
42:20Look at it.
42:21Didn't even faze him.
42:22I tell you what though.
42:23Look at the paw prints
42:24on the top of the chest
42:25of Hulk Hogan.
42:26And then it's up to the eyes.
42:32Step over.
42:33Hulk Hogan with a boot.
42:34The big boot.
42:35Oh man.
42:36He nailed him.
42:37Get out of there.
42:38Get out of there right now.
42:40The Nature Boy Ric Flair
42:41on a receiving end
42:42of a running clothesline.
42:43And Arn Anderson
42:44checks in.
42:45Hulk Hogan
42:46cleaning house here.
42:48Body slam.
42:49Follows it up with another.
42:50The Enforcer Arn Anderson
42:52in trouble here.
42:54Dead cohesive.
42:55Dead cohesive tag team
42:57before Hartman
42:58doesn't look too cohesive
43:00right now does it Weasel?
43:01It's early.
43:02It's early.
43:03But they're smart enough
43:04to roll out of that ring
43:05and regroup.
43:07That's what they have to do.
43:09Ric Flair the dirtiest player
43:10in the game
43:11at Arn Anderson.
43:12I'll tell you what.
43:13He's not far behind him.
43:14He's a journeyman
43:15when it comes to
43:16cheap shots himself.
43:17Speaking of playing football.
43:18Time out.
43:20What was he doing?
43:21Time out?
43:22Get up in that ring
43:23and wrestle.
43:24Take your lumps like a man.
43:25You talk about
43:26dirtiest wrestlers
43:27in this sport.
43:28How about Savage?
43:29How about Hogan?
43:30They're not choir boys.
43:31They'll do anything
43:32they can to win.
43:33He pointed that out.
43:34I'll tell you what.
43:35Hulk Hogan
43:36coming off a probation
43:37and then followed
43:38by a suspension in 1995.
43:40And he is treading thin ice.
43:41And that's one of the things
43:42a lot of pundits
43:43and people that are
43:44watching this sport
43:45are wondering about right now
43:46is which Hulk Hogan
43:47are we going to see here?
43:48Because there is
43:49absolutely no love lost
43:50between these four athletes.
43:51And Hogan
43:52we've seen him snap
43:53late in 1995.
43:54And it could happen
43:55here tonight.
43:56And don't forget
43:57Macho Man Randy Savage
43:58blames Iron Anderson
43:59for losing the
44:00World's Heavyweight title.
44:01Blamed him?
44:02It was obvious.
44:03Well, it was.
44:04I saw.
44:06Let me tell you what.
44:07Savage and Hogan
44:08have all the business
44:09in the world
44:10thinking that they've
44:11got to fight
44:12fire with fire.
44:13And that's all you guys
44:14are talking about.
44:15Or they've done
44:16some dastardly things.
44:17Well, they have had
44:18dastardly things
44:19done to them.
44:20So you've got to
44:21like he said last week
44:22monkey see,
44:23monkey do, baby.
44:25Watch this.
44:28Big right hand
44:29into the floating rib area
44:30by the Macho Man Randy Savage.
44:31Iron Anderson
44:32puts on the brakes,
44:33tries to reverse it.
44:34And the Macho Man
44:35takes him into the boot
44:36as Iron Anderson
44:37hits the deck.
44:38And the Macho Man
44:39Randy Savage
44:40he is on the top
44:41turnbuckle
44:42and he
44:43pulls the trigger.
44:44Comes down hard
44:45on the enforcer
44:46Iron Anderson.
44:48I just don't believe
44:49Iron Anderson
44:50and Ric Flair
44:51on the game.
44:52They've been spending
44:53a lot of time
44:54in Macho Man
44:55in Hulk Hogan's corner.
44:56You just can't do that
44:57as a tag team.
44:58But you never know
44:59about the team
45:00of Flair and Anderson.
45:01Sometimes
45:02they don't let you think
45:03you've got it.
45:06And Ric Flair
45:07running
45:08from the former
45:09World Heavyweight Champion
45:10Hulk Hogan
45:11and then backing off
45:12as a referee
45:13sends Hogan
45:14to his corner.
45:16And as a reminder
45:17coming up next week
45:18in Miami
45:19you are going to see
45:20Iron Anderson
45:21facing Ming
45:22from the Dungeon of Doom
45:23and Randy Savage
45:24against Lex Luger.
45:25So I wouldn't be surprised
45:27if Ming
45:28or Luger
45:29hits the ring here
45:30based on what's happened
45:31the last couple of weeks.
45:33You never know.
45:34You never know
45:35what's going to happen.
45:36Chaos baby.
45:37Strictly chaos.
45:38And before
45:39Monday Nitro
45:40next week in Miami
45:41I'm going to have a meeting
45:42that afternoon
45:43with Wayne Huizenga.
45:44I might take over
45:45managing the Dolphins.
45:47And now.
45:48I thought I'd
45:50The Macho Man
45:51going after
45:52Ric Flair
45:53with the figure four.
45:54He's got him.
45:55Hogan
45:56going to put the figure four
45:57on Iron Anderson.
45:59They're both going to give it
46:00the same time.
46:01No they're not.
46:05Want to remind you fans
46:06that the Macho Man
46:07Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan
46:08will be teaming up
46:09to take on the Giant
46:10and Ric Flair.
46:11But no.
46:13Nice DDT there.
46:15Take him Ric.
46:16Take him.
46:17I'll tell you what.
46:18Get away baby.
46:19If Hogan
46:20and Savage
46:21are not careful
46:22they may not see
46:23the clash.
46:25It looks like
46:26momentum has turned.
46:27Whoa.
46:28All the way up
46:29over the top rope
46:30and underneath
46:31the guardrail
46:32is the Macho Man
46:33Randy Savage
46:34bad wing and all.
46:35If the referee
46:36had seen that
46:37that would have
46:38been his qualification.
46:39But Savage
46:40is still nursing
46:41that bad wing.
46:42Everybody
46:43in WCW
46:44wants a shot
46:45at Hulk Hogan
46:46and the Macho Man
46:48It's just like
46:49after you win
46:50the Super Bowl.
46:51Every team you play
46:52the next year
46:53on your schedule
46:54it's their Super Bowl game.
46:55If they beat you
46:56they think
46:57that makes them
46:58a champion.
46:59Alright.
47:00We'll be back
47:01with the main event
47:02right after this.
47:03Time out.
47:04Don't leave us now.
47:05Kick him Ric.
47:06Kick him.
47:07Oh look it.
47:08Hogan.
47:09He's setting him up.
47:10He's setting him up.
47:11Flair's got him
47:12in the corner.
47:13Don't stay
47:14out of the ring.
47:15Kick him.
47:16Oh no.
47:18We are back
47:19and we are back live
47:20as the
47:21two of the horsemen
47:22the World Heavyweight
47:23Champion Ric Flair
47:24and Arn Anderson
47:25have been dominating
47:26the action here
47:27against Hulk Hogan
47:28and the Macho Man
47:29Randy Savage.
47:30Tell my friends
47:31during that break
47:32those two horsemen
47:33were taking it to Savage
47:34like you can't believe.
47:35And they've kept
47:36him in the corner
47:37where they have
47:38to keep him.
47:39Hogan hasn't been
47:40in that ring.
47:41He's been trying
47:42to make the tag
47:43which I doubt.
47:44I don't think
47:46the Macho Man
47:47Randy Savage
47:48in there right now
47:49with the man that he
47:50believes costs him
47:51the World Heavyweight
47:52title at Stargate.
47:53Nothing the Macho Man
47:54wants more
47:55than a huge piece
47:56of Arn Anderson's
47:57rear end.
47:58But he's not
47:59gonna get it.
48:00He's gonna have to
48:01worry about Mr. Flair
48:02the Heavyweight
48:03Champion of the world.
48:04Yeah.
48:05Came by it proudly
48:06too I might add.
48:07But like it or not
48:08he is indeed
48:09the 12 time
48:10unprecedented
48:1112 time
48:12World Heavyweight
48:13Champion
48:14of the year.
48:15Well Savage
48:16didn't even think
48:17about that Arn Anderson
48:18might have cost him
48:19the championship.
48:20He did.
48:21Period.
48:22And I'll tell you what
48:23Ric Flair firing away
48:24with chops to the top
48:25of the chest.
48:26Irish whip.
48:27Macho Man
48:28Randy Savage
48:29going into the
48:30turnbuckles hard.
48:31He is hurt.
48:32He has taken
48:33quite a beating
48:34here at WCW lately.
48:35I mean the man
48:36is taped.
48:37Oh man.
48:38My goodness.
48:39Vicious side suplex.
48:40Ric Flair going
48:41for the cover.
48:42And Hulk Hogan
48:44Hey Hogan is playing
48:45Flair's game.
48:46That's just good.
48:47It's like chess.
48:48That's just good tag
48:49teammanship there
48:50my friend.
48:5110 for tag.
48:53And a sleeper now
48:54by the Macho Man
48:55Randy Savage.
48:56He has got
48:57Arn Anderson
48:58but he is in the wrong
48:59neck of the woods.
49:00Wrong neighborhood.
49:01Bad part of town.
49:04And it's not going
49:05to get any better.
49:06Hulk Hogan going
49:07after the Nature Boy
49:08Ric Flair.
49:09Referee Randy Anderson
49:10in the middle of things
49:11as Arn Anderson
49:12takes advantage
49:13across the throat
49:14of the Macho Man
49:15Randy Savage
49:16takes advantage
49:17of the count
49:18breaks just in time
49:19and the Macho Man
49:20down on the floor.
49:21Take that arm out.
49:22Take that arm out.
49:23Ric Flair
49:24taking Randy Savage
49:25into the guard rail.
49:29That's how the
49:30horseman works so good.
49:31Arn is in the ring.
49:32He makes
49:33he makes Hogan
49:34commit himself.
49:35He gets the referee involved.
49:36He gets the referee's
49:37attention turned.
49:38Meanwhile
49:39Flair does a number
49:40on Savage.
49:42Checked at the top
49:43of the chest.
49:44And I'll tell you what.
49:45Ric Flair is right out
49:46with those chops tonight.
49:47He is shooting bullseyes
49:48all night long.
49:49Sounds like a 357
49:50going off inside that ring
49:51as he fires away
49:52and pummels
49:53the Macho Man
49:54Randy Savage
49:55to the rib cage.
49:56I just can't quit
49:57looking at that tape
49:58on his arm.
49:59Ever since Lex Luger
50:00destroyed that arm
50:01Macho, it just
50:02hadn't been the same.
50:03But he continues
50:04to fight
50:05and fight hard
50:06as the Macho Man
50:07Randy Savage
50:08with a backslide
50:09takes Nature Boy
50:10to his back.
50:11Two count.
50:12And now
50:13Ric Flair
50:14counters.
50:15Drops.
50:16Leg sweeps.
50:17And he's going
50:18after the figure four.
50:19The fat lady's
50:20ready to sing.
50:21He reversed it on him.
50:22Oh, did he ever.
50:23And again
50:24nice counter
50:25by the Macho Man
50:26Randy Savage.
50:27Came close.
50:28Got a two count.
50:29I'm surprised
50:30they haven't gone
50:31to work on that arm more.
50:32Blocks the right hand.
50:33Fires back
50:34with a right of his own.
50:35The Macho Man
50:36Randy Savage
50:37exposed
50:38on a receiving end
50:39to the chest.
50:40Hulk Hogan
50:41the precious man
50:42in the ring right now.
50:43And I tell you what
50:44Hulk Hogan
50:45wants in that ring.
50:46Well, they've got to
50:47keep him in the corner.
50:48Do not let Hogan tag.
50:49Wear Savage down.
50:50Stay on him.
50:51And the Macho Man
50:52now trying to make the tag.
50:53Arn Anderson
50:54running interference
50:55there.
50:56Keeps him out of the corner.
50:57They have been
50:58working together
50:59as a team
51:00better than
51:01Macho and Holster have.
51:02That's for sure.
51:03You know these guys
51:04have known each other
51:05for a long time.
51:06And this is
51:07Savages
51:08and Hogan's
51:09first couple of runs
51:10of being a tag team.
51:11It takes a while.
51:13Oh, it takes years.
51:14Oh, yeah.
51:15Here we go.
51:16No, no, no.
51:17Here we go.
51:19Hulk Hogan
51:20the Nature Boy
51:21Ric Flair.
51:22Behind you.
51:23Yes.
51:24Big right hand.
51:25And the crowd
51:26goes wild
51:27as Hulk Hogan
51:28fires away.
51:29I told you
51:30he was a precious man
51:31in the ring
51:32and you're getting
51:33a good look at it here.
51:34Big back body drop.
51:36That's all it was a plan
51:37Macho was going
51:38to wear him down
51:39and Hogan was going
51:40to come in
51:41and clean up the house.
51:42Hogan is indeed
51:43cleaning house
51:44as he fires right hands
51:45into the Nature Boy
51:46Ric Flair.
51:47Goes over to the
51:48opposite corner
51:49and then he gets
51:50blasted from behind.
51:51And Savage isn't
51:52going to be much help.
51:53He's pretty well wounded.
51:54Now the Horsemen
51:55have to take
51:56Hulk Hogan out.
51:58Both men
51:59up over the top rope
52:01and Savage
52:03renewed.
52:04Throw him back in there
52:05to you buddy Savage.
52:06Now work on Flair.
52:07Keep his attention
52:08while Hogan works
52:09on Arn Anderson.
52:12Take him.
52:13Take him.
52:14You got him.
52:15Take him now.
52:16He was too cocky.
52:17Hogan is up.
52:19Hogan is up.
52:21Hogan with the right hand
52:22follows it up with another.
52:24Arn Anderson
52:25in trouble here.
52:26Irish whip
52:27and a boot
52:28right to the side
52:29of the head.
52:30And here comes
52:31the big drop baby.
52:32You can count
52:33this one out.
52:34One, two, three.
52:35Oh no.
52:36We have got
52:37the giant
52:38Taskmaster
52:39Benoit
52:40Kilman.
52:41They're out there fighting
52:42the Horsemen.
52:43Look at this.
52:44I think they were just
52:45trying to draw their attention
52:46because here comes the giant.
52:47Here comes the giant.
52:48Oh boys.
52:49And look at on the outside
52:50of the ring.
52:51Taskmaster and Kilman.
52:52I mean they're going at it.
52:54Benoit, Zodiac
52:55are going at it.
52:56In the meantime
52:57the giant
52:58has Jimmy Hart
52:59cheering him on.
53:02Oh no.
53:03Oh no.
53:04He got him.
53:05He got him.
53:06He got him.
53:07He got him.
53:08He got him.
53:09He got him.
53:10He got him.
53:11He got him.
53:12Good.
53:13The giant
53:14without a doubt.
53:15Look at that.
53:16He holds Randy Savage
53:17up there like a puppet.
53:18He literally
53:19pulls him
53:20like an NBA star
53:21would pull
53:22a basketball.
53:23Look at Zodiac
53:24holding the giant
53:25back from
53:26inflicting even more
53:27punishment.
53:28What is this?
53:29What the heck is that about?
53:30Hogan is down.
53:31He is hurt.
53:32Savage is out of it.
53:33And we are out of it.
53:34We are out of time.
53:35We've got to go.
53:36We'll see you next week
53:37here on Nitro.
53:38Oh no.
53:39This can't happen.
53:40Hogan isn't moving.
53:41This can't happen.
