01:00It's not
01:16I mean, he is the biggest of where the big boys play.
01:18We're talking about the Giant.
01:19He is going after Savage's world title.
01:21How do you see it?
01:22Let me tell you, sports fans,
01:23when the Giant puts that chokeslam on you,
01:26there ain't nobody got up off of that yet.
01:28And right off the bat, we got Flair and Hogan.
01:31This has turned into the Grudge Match
01:33of the century, my friends.
01:35We're gonna talk about Flair and Hogan in just a minute,
01:37but what about the debut of the Road Warriors?
01:39We saw them at the Clash of the Champions
01:41in Vegas this past week.
01:42Well, what do you do with a team like the Road Warriors?
01:44They're both close to 300 pounds.
01:46They have spikes, half their heads shaved,
01:48paint all over their face, and nobody can control them.
01:50Whoever their opponents are,
01:52they're in for a long, long evening.
01:53And I'll tell you what,
01:54the way they left things with Sting and Luger
01:56in Las Vegas at the Clash of the Champions,
01:58you're not sure what's the problem here.
02:00I smell title change.
02:02Yeah, we'll see about it.
02:03We've also got Sherry and Medusa in action,
02:05and the biggest rivalry in sports today,
02:08Hulk Hogan, the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
02:11Let's do it.
02:12Get down to the ring.
02:13Who is it to win the first contest live
02:15on WCW Monday Nitro?
02:18Mongo, this is it, man.
02:20I said it just a few moments ago,
02:21this could be the biggest night of Nitro yet.
02:24Listen to these fans.
02:26The birthplace of pro football, the Hall of Fame.
02:28You see the little guy's got on his bow tie,
02:31he's dressed up appropriately, and look at him.
02:34Look at him.
02:34You know, I'm starting out to like this guy.
02:37Well, get in line, Mongo,
02:39because there's a lot of people
02:39that don't like the Nature Boy,
02:41but he doesn't really care.
02:43But the man he's stepping in the ring with, Hulk Hogan,
02:45they definitely, definitely do not like each other.
02:48This is a Super Bowl match right here.
02:51The fur's gonna fly tonight,
02:53and probably off of that cape he's got on.
02:56That's feathers, not fur.
02:57Speaking of the Super Bowl,
02:59congratulations to the Dallas Cowboys,
03:01but I wanna say a special congratulations
03:04to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
03:06What hell of a team.
03:07Levon Kirkland, Kevin Green,
03:09a couple guys we got to know pretty well here
03:11over the last week.
03:12They put up a good fight.
03:14He's American.
03:16Well, as you know, these two guys
03:18wrestled at the Batch of the Beach, baby,
03:21and that was a match.
03:22This is gonna be harder than that.
03:24I promise you.
03:2574 pounds, Hulk Hogan.
03:29Here he comes, the big mouth.
03:32And listen to this capacity crowd.
03:35Each and every one of them on their feet
03:39in this standing room only.
03:44Look at this.
03:45Hulk Hogan, and look at the feathering of beauties
03:49along with Hulk Hogan.
03:52Hey, we saw them in Las Vegas.
03:53There's one minute.
03:56Wow.
03:58You know what he's doing.
04:00Claire thinks he's a ladies' man.
04:02He's just throwing it up in his face.
04:04And there she is, the lady of all ladies.
04:08We saw her re-emerge in Las Vegas.
04:11What half of the big surprise
04:14along with Kevin Green and the Pittsburgh Steelers,
04:16Miss Elizabeth, and is she looking fine?
04:20Better looking than Kevin Green, I'll tell you that.
04:22How you doing, toots?
04:24I wish he was here right now.
04:26Maybe he could slap some sense into your head.
04:28No, he's busy right now.
04:29He's signing up for Pop Warner Football next year.
04:32I got news for you.
04:33River has it.
04:33He might be here.
04:34Well, I've always liked him.
04:35I was his competing broker when I told him.
04:38He's always been my favorite.
04:39I remember his dad, Ninjo Green.
04:41Boy, could he play ball.
04:42Look at this crowd.
04:43Each and every one of them standing.
04:45Hulkamaniacs ever.
04:47Everywhere you look.
04:48Hulk Hogan.
04:51Oh, yeah.
04:53Kind of looks like Mr. Egg there,
04:54the way the whips were flapping.
04:55He is worried, because he knows Ric Flair's got his number.
05:00Ric Flair, the man who lost
05:03the WCW World Heavyweight title a week ago in Las Vegas.
05:09Well, and that's what makes this
05:10a very dangerous match for Hogan.
05:13Flair lost that championship last week,
05:15so you know he's gonna come out breathing fire.
05:17He don't wanna lose two in a row.
05:20Especially to a man like Hulk Hogan.
05:22This goes back a long, long way, Mongo.
05:24There's a lot of animosity here.
05:25Both of these men are egotistical maniacs.
05:27Everybody knows that.
05:28This man, Ric Flair, packed the gold 13 times.
05:3212 times.
05:33I'll tell you what.
05:34Maybe those girls will jump on the mind of the south,
05:37slap him around a little bit,
05:38and turn him into the mush of the south.
05:40I'm so tired of that guy, I could spit.
05:44I'll tell you what.
05:45You talk about rivalries,
05:46and being here in Kenton, Ohio,
05:48I mean, you talk about Chicago Bears,
05:50the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings,
05:52Detroit Lions, Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns.
05:55I'll tell you what.
05:56This is a classic rivalry here.
05:58The nature boy, Ric Flair,
05:59a man who has got probably more ego
06:02running through his veins, ounce for ounce,
06:04than anybody I know.
06:05And Hulk Hogan, one of the biggest names in this sport.
06:09Make no mistake about it.
06:11This is a classic confrontation right here,
06:14coming your way on Nitro, live from Kenton, Ohio.
06:18Well, Flair might have the figure four, my friend,
06:21but he shouldn't try to match power for power with Hogan,
06:24because he's a lot more powerful, just like that.
06:27Boy, you called that one.
06:28Well, there's no doubt about that, but Flair's smart.
06:30He's known as the dirtiest player in the game.
06:32He'll get the big man off his feet,
06:34and then he'll slap that figure four on,
06:36and you can hear his legs go snap, crackle, and pop.
06:38Just wait.
06:39Well, you've got to take a look at Ric Flair, Mongo.
06:41Here's a guy that right after losing the title
06:44to Randy Savage, came back and beat Savage
06:46the following night.
06:47So I'm not sure that the nature boy, Ric Flair,
06:50is really down and out.
06:51I mean, Vegas is a big distraction for anybody,
06:54and particularly a guy like the nature boy, Ric Flair,
06:57who likes to live that lifestyle.
06:59Yeah, he likes to spend that money and court those women.
07:03And that's exactly why Hogan's got an advantage here.
07:05He's got those four women cornered in that ring,
07:09and look at him.
07:10I think he's got him distracted.
07:13Oh!
07:15Big back body drop.
07:16Hulk Hogan out, going after the nature boy, Ric Flair,
07:19and it's out of the ring.
07:20Clothesline dropped.
07:21The nature boy, Ric Flair.
07:22Flair, long side of the rope, and he goes up and over.
07:25Now what Ric's got to do now,
07:26he's got to stay on that floor.
07:27He's got to take an eight count.
07:29Let Hogan exhaust all his energy.
07:31Let him run around that ring.
07:32But stay away from him.
07:34Flair knows what he's doing.
07:35He knows what he's doing.
07:36Yeah, Flair just went three knuckles deep with his thumb,
07:38right into the eye of Hulk Hogan.
07:40Hogan now up against the rail.
07:42He's in trouble.
07:43He does not want to be outside of the ring
07:45with the dirtiest player in the game.
07:48He knows what he's doing.
07:49Boy, it takes a real genius to say that,
07:51him being 12-time world champion.
07:54Of course he knows what he's doing.
07:56Even Hogan lets his emotions take over.
07:58The humanoid search engine, he gets them in their blood.
08:02They get in his blood.
08:02His adrenaline gets going.
08:04But Flair's a smart man.
08:05He's the man in the ring with brains.
08:07And in case you just joined us,
08:09coming up later in the broadcast,
08:10Sherry and Medusa, the road warriors debut
08:12in the world heavyweight title on the line tonight.
08:15Running clothesline by Hulk Hogan
08:16as the world heavyweight champion,
08:18Randy Savage meets the giant
08:21as Hulk Hogan now fires away.
08:23And wait a minute, a little bit of a,
08:26talking and striking, Hogan.
08:27Okay, see?
08:29And remember this,
08:30Flair's a horseman.
08:31There's gotta be three more horsemen in this building.
08:34You know that and I know it.
08:35All right, directors are telling us
08:37we have got to take a break
08:38as Hogan in trouble in the center of the ring.
08:40We'll bring you this action when we come back.
08:43Don't leave us now.
08:44Hogan's hurt.
08:44Get off that knee.
08:45Slapping on him, Slapping on him.
09:01And is it a family feud?
09:02I'm torn apart.
09:03Or something more?
09:04Find out.
09:05Plus, the macho man, Randy Savage, speaks out.
09:08That's right.
09:09Man, where do they get this stuff?
09:12Get your copy now on newsstands everywhere.
09:18Welcome back and we are live.
09:19Coming to you from Gatton, Ohio.
09:21SNHU boy Ric Flair continues his onslaught to Hulk Hogan.
09:25Woo baby, he's been working on that knee.
09:27He's been slapping Hogan around.
09:29He's been systematically tearing him apart.
09:31But as you know, Brain, that doesn't matter.
09:34When the Hulkamaniac starts cheering,
09:36the adrenaline starts flowing, baby.
09:39Hogan comes back.
09:40Did that mean something to you
09:41when you were on the football field
09:42and they started cheering for the Bears?
09:44Did that pump you up?
09:45Did that make you play harder?
09:46Well, it was a little better than booing.
09:49Doesn't really matter to me.
09:50Never did.
09:51Hulk Hogan fires a shot to the midsection
09:52as he goes after the natural boy, Ric Flair,
09:54all the way from the top rope.
09:56Nature boy, Ric Flair crashes
09:58in the center of the ring,
09:59and then eats a massive right hand between the eyes.
10:02Ric Flair coming back, tries to run in the zone,
10:04and eats another right from Hulk Hogan.
10:06Hogan is on fire.
10:07Goes into a side headlock.
10:08Coming off the rope, shoulder tackle takedown.
10:10The nature boy, Ric Flair, drops down,
10:12step over by Hogan.
10:13Hogan now eats an elbow and hits the deck hard.
10:17What a match we've got.
10:18Uh-oh.
10:19He's gonna work on that leg some more.
10:21And that's apropos for the four hearts,
10:22but they get a joint hurt or they get a leg hurt,
10:25an elbow, they're gonna work on it.
10:27Well, there's nothing wrong with that.
10:29That's good business.
10:30But Hogan had no reason to do that.
10:32No reason at all to do that.
10:34No reason at all.
10:34The man going to the south,
10:36I mean, he's like one of those big horse flies
10:38you see in the summertime, always biting you,
10:40you can never get at it.
10:42Uh-oh.
10:43Ric, Ric, behind you!
10:44Yeah, that's it, Ric.
10:45Ric, turn around!
10:46Play to the crowd, there you go.
10:49Just like I was talking about.
10:51He's gonna get that adrenaline going.
10:54See, Hogan's a funny creature.
10:55Sometimes he's laid out flat.
10:57Sometimes he's got no movement, but he's not out.
10:59You never know with Hogan what he's doing.
11:02Elizabeth, outside of the ring,
11:03looking on as an injured boy, Ric Flair!
11:06He tries to run that apron and he gets nailed.
11:08Elizabeth, providing so much motivation,
11:11inspiration, and got the eyes,
11:14crossing the T's along with woman.
11:16I'd rather have Jimmy Hart.
11:18Get out of here.
11:19He's smarter.
11:20We've seen what he's all about.
11:21Jimmy Hart's looking a little bit like Barney tonight.
11:24He's not gonna help you whatsoever.
11:27Just wait, you never know.
11:28Don't ever count on Jimmy Hart.
11:29And don't count out that man right there, Ric Flair.
11:32Hogan now takes double thumbs to the eyes.
11:34And I said it earlier on,
11:35Hogan does not want to be outside of the ring.
11:38Flair is, without question, the dirtiest player in the game.
11:41And with the maggot of the south out there,
11:45you can always count on an assist.
11:48This guy is a worm, Jimmy Hart.
11:50Look at him, he's wearing his own face on his back.
11:52Like, who cares?
11:54Now, Flair's measured him here.
11:56Flair knows what he's doing.
11:57I know how Ric thinks.
11:59He feels that he has him,
12:00but he shouldn't throw him outside the ring
12:02unless he's planning to do something.
12:04But wait a minute!
12:06The maggot outside of the ring,
12:08trying to choke Hulk Hogan,
12:10and he is doing a heck of a job here.
12:12Hogan.
12:14Yeah, but Hogan kicked Jimmy Hart in the face
12:16about five, six minutes ago.
12:18It was fair is fair.
12:19He was just trying to get his leg away from him
12:21and it inadvertently slipped him.
12:24Hit him in the mouth.
12:25You noticed that too, didn't you?
12:26Hulk Hogan in trouble as he tries to make his way
12:28inside of the ring.
12:29You can hear the crowd chanting,
12:31Hogan, Hogan, Hogan.
12:33But Hogan is in a world of trouble here.
12:35The Nature Boy Ric Flair with the assist
12:37from the mouth of the south.
12:39Jimmy Hart continues now,
12:40putting boots to Hulk Hogan.
12:43Well, you gotta give it to Flair.
12:45He's pretty smart.
12:46Every time he tries to crawl back in,
12:47he maxes him out of there.
12:49Let's hard work on him a little bit
12:50while he's distracting the official.
12:53Elizabeth distraught outside of the ring,
12:55unable really to do anything at this point,
12:58but to be there for Hulk Hogan.
13:00No worries, she'll put the boots to you.
13:02She looks nervous.
13:03Of course she's nervous.
13:06Hogan in trouble.
13:08There it goes, working on that knee again.
13:11He knows what he's doing.
13:12He has to get that leg in bad enough shape.
13:15He didn't go for the figure four yet
13:17because he knows it's not in bad enough shape,
13:19but he'll go for it.
13:20He'll get him where he wants him.
13:21The Nature Boy Ric Flair now.
13:22This could be it right here.
13:23There it is.
13:24Slaps on the figure four.
13:26Hogan in trouble.
13:27It doesn't appear to me like he can reach a rope.
13:30And Ric Flair trying to drag him away from the ropes,
13:33positioning himself, putting the pressure on
13:36the inside of that left knee and across the right shin.
13:40This could be it.
13:41Let's see how much Hogan can take.
13:43Let's see if he can take down and pull up something.
13:46Come on, Hogan.
13:47Do you have it?
13:48Do you have it?
13:49I don't think you have it.
13:50Look at Elizabeth leading those cheers to Hulkamaniacs.
13:53Look at Hogan.
13:54You can see it feeding him like fire.
13:56No, no, no.
13:57He reverses it.
13:57There you go.
13:58He reverses it.
13:59Hulk Hogan in the center of the ring.
14:01Those massive pythons supporting his upper body
14:04as he leverages an escape against the Nature Boy Ric Flair
14:08in the center of the ring.
14:09But Hogan is really softened up here.
14:11He can hardly stand up.
14:14Now, if I was Flair, I'd go for the other leg.
14:16So he'd have two back legs.
14:17So he couldn't do nothing.
14:18Just keep him on that mat.
14:20Hogan with a block.
14:22With another block.
14:24And then Hogan with a reversal.
14:27Come on, Ric, get up.
14:30That was pretty impressive.
14:31Hogan getting out of that figure four.
14:33How many times have you seen that,
14:35a wrestler able to reverse that on Flair?
14:37Not many.
14:38Reverse knife headshot to the top of the chest.
14:40You want to stand toe to toe with the immortal one Hulk Hogan.
14:44Hit him.
14:45You might be writing the end to your own career here
14:48because this guy is not stepping backwards for anybody.
14:51Big right hand.
14:53Delivered.
14:54Another.
14:56Following up with yet another as Hulk Hogan,
14:59Irish whip all the way across the ring,
15:00runs in and eats an elbow.
15:02Mouthful of elbow.
15:05Come on, Ric, keep him grounded.
15:06Rub his face in that mat.
15:08Don't turn your back on him.
15:09Go get him.
15:10You got him.
15:11He's wounded.
15:12Go get him now.
15:14Jimmy Hart taunting.
15:16Taunting.
15:17He's like a little brat in a zoo.
15:18Teasing the gorillas.
15:20This match reminds me of when Roberto Duran
15:23and Sugar Ray Leonard went toe to toe.
15:25These guys aren't pulling any punches.
15:26They're not standing outside the ring.
15:28They're up there giving it to each other.
15:31Tit for tat, baby.
15:32Side suplex for the Nature Boy Ric Flair.
15:34Has Hulk Hogan inch over here.
15:36The Nature Boy Ric Flair strutting his stuff.
15:38And he's taunting Miss Elizabeth.
15:41Miss Elizabeth.
15:43Most of the fans watching now know the history here.
15:45Ric Flair now covering one and two.
15:47And a big kick out.
15:49And Hogan just bench presses Flair off the top.
15:52The monster's coming alive.
15:54Now you gotta keep him down, Ric.
15:55Don't let him get on both feet.
15:57Let him pound, pound on him, pound on him.
15:59Come on, come on.
16:00That does a lot of good.
16:02How many times did you see this?
16:03Keep hitting him.
16:04Keep hitting him, Flair.
16:05That's just gonna make him stronger.
16:08Okay, Ric, get outside the ring.
16:09Make him come after you and pick up a chair.
16:12Hogan now.
16:14You heard that reverse knife head chop.
16:15And now.
16:18Big right hand.
16:19Come on, it's delivered.
16:20One, two.
16:21Does he get a third?
16:22He does.
16:23Irish whip sets him up.
16:25Boom.
16:26Puts him right on that beak of his.
16:28Put that leg drop on him, Hogan.
16:30He's got it.
16:31He's got it.
16:32He's got it.
16:33Hogan had the cover.
16:35Hogan had the cover.
16:36Should have stayed with his man.
16:39There's Arn Anderson.
16:43Arn Anderson comes in.
16:46And he gets nailed by Hulk Hogan.
16:49And now Hogan going back to work.
16:51Look at this.
16:52What's this?
16:52There's a mugging going on.
16:53He's got Elizabeth's shoe.
16:54Oh, no.
16:55He just took Elizabeth's shoe off.
16:57Oh, no.
16:58That high heel spike on that shoe
17:00got Hogan right in the running late.
17:02He didn't hit him in the eye, did he?
17:03Looks like he did to me.
17:04Jimmy Hart holding Miss Elizabeth back.
17:06Arn Anderson grabs the shoe and spikes Hulk Hogan in the eye.
17:10Oh, no.
17:12One, two, three.
17:13The Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
17:17Hogan might be a little more hurt than we think.
17:20I've been poking now before playing football.
17:22And if you detach that retina or that cornea, baby,
17:25you're seeing two for a long time.
17:29Now Hogan's in deep, deep trouble.
17:31Hulk Hogan holding his eye.
17:33The Nature Boy, Ric Flair wins the match.
17:37One, two, three.
17:38The Macho Man, Randy Savage out assisting here
17:42with Miss Elizabeth.
17:43The eye obviously in trouble here.
17:47A spike by the high heel from Miss Elizabeth.
17:52Jimmy, the mouth of the south, was holding her back.
17:54Anderson came out, took the shoe right off her foot
17:57and stuck it, apparently, into the eye.
18:00And oh, my God.
18:01Look at that.
18:02We gotta get the EMS out here.
18:04We gotta go to a break.
18:09Coming up this Saturday night, WCW Saturday night,
18:126.05 Eastern, you're gonna see Gene Malenko
18:15take on the man who just defeated Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair.
18:19You're also gonna see Eddie Guerrero

18:23The debut of WCW Saturday night of Public Enemy.
18:26And you're gonna see Sting in singles competition
18:29as well as the Taskmaster.
18:32It is gonna be a great one.
18:33The Giant will be there, you'll be there.
18:356.05 Eastern, this Saturday, only on TBS.
18:42And you know something, Mongo, Bobby,
18:45last Tuesday night, the highest rated program,
18:48I'm sure of the year so far,
18:49but certainly probably for the rest of the year.
18:51WCW continues on its roll,
18:55dominating with a big D, our sport.
18:58And again, we wanna thank all of the fans
19:00that have made WCW the most watched wrestling program
19:06anywhere in the world.
19:07And it sure has been a fun ride.
19:11Well, it's nice being on top, baby.
19:13I've been there before.
19:14I know you have it great,
19:16but how do you like it so far, baby?
19:18I like it and I've been there before
19:19and I couldn't have been treated nicer at Caesars.
19:22Making their way to the ring now,
19:24Ming and Barbarian,
19:27the Faces of Fear from the Dungeon of Doom.
19:30And here we go,
19:32the highly anticipated return
19:38of the Road Warriors.
19:40WCW, where the big boys play
19:45and where everybody else wishes they could be.
19:48Forget about it, Vince.
19:50Get it down with a piece of power, buddy.
19:52The big way, our back.
19:53Ooh, and look at those hard hands up in the ring.
19:57And look at these coming out, baby.
19:59You guys are in for a treat tonight
20:01because these boys are gonna do some head-banging.
20:04Well, lock up the dogs, lock up grandma,
20:06lock up your valuables.
20:07The Legion of Doom is in town.
20:10Here we go, the Road Warriors.
20:12And we'll be back with this match right after this.
20:16Oh, is this gonna be good?
20:18Pick a winner.
20:19Rumble.
20:22Super Brawl VI coming your way Sunday,
20:24February 11th from the Bayfront Center
20:26in St. Petersburg, seven o'clock p.m. Eastern time.
20:29WCW Super Brawl VI coming your way
20:33exclusively on pay-per-view.
20:37Double cage action coming your way.
20:41And here we go, tag team action.
20:45You really think a double cage is gonna be enough
20:47to hold back what we have going down?
20:50I don't know.
20:51Here we go.
20:53And there they go, Animals in there.
20:55There's Hulk on the outside.
20:56I watch these guys coming out of Minnesota
20:58in their infancy, and let me tell you,
21:00they are the most dominant tag team
21:02in the history of wrestling.
21:03They are indeed, and a lot of people
21:05talking about the back of Animal.
21:07Lex Luger made reference to it
21:08at the Clash of the Champions in Las Vegas.
21:11We're going to find out here as Hulk and Animal
21:13reunited inside of the ring.
21:15First time in a long, long time as Animal goes back.
21:18And in case you just joined us, we must point out
21:21that Nature Boy Ric Flair has defeated,
21:25yes, you have heard me right,
21:26has defeated Hulk Hogan.
21:29And thus becoming, Ric Flair that is,
21:32one of the elite in this sport,
21:35and a man who he may have sidestepped momentarily
21:37in Las Vegas when he faced Randy Savage,
21:40but a man who is definitely,
21:42probably on more of a roll now than
21:44maybe he's been in the last two years, Mongo.
21:46Well, Flair defeated him all right,
21:48but it was a tainted victory, I assure you.
21:50He only beat him by a shoe, if you know what I mean.
21:53Doesn't matter what you mean, he won the match.
21:56And I'll tell you something interesting here.
21:57You know, it's been a while since
21:59the Road Warriors have been together,
22:00but they still know each other very, very well.
22:02But this team of the Barbarian here and Mink,
22:05they know each other real well.
22:07So it's not like you got a team here
22:08that hasn't really been together for a long time.
22:11It could go either way.
22:12Look at the power of Animal as he power slams
22:16and it drops the elbow right across the top of the chest.
22:19And the adrenaline is running here
22:22through the veins of Animal as he makes a tag.
22:27Oh yeah, oh what a rush, what a rush.
22:30And look at these two guys, faces of fear.
22:33Yeah, them two mugs scare me.
22:34The doctor probably slapped their mama when they were born.
22:37Look at that, Mink now, Mink going after
22:42Hawk is in trouble in the corner.
22:45And listen to this crowd, Bobby.
22:47LOD, LOD.
22:50Road Warriors probably the toughest street fighters
22:52ever to come out of the city of Chicago.
22:55But Mink is no cup, Scott Pal.
22:58Oh man, look at that.
23:00Oh yeah, that was a wake up call.
23:05Running clothesline sends Mink into the wrong side
23:07and a power slam, Hawk.
23:12How could he get up from that?
23:14Well, I guess if you got no blades
23:15and nothing in your head,
23:16it's just a big solid cement stump.
23:18I mean, that's that Chicago upbringing, man.
23:20You gotta hit it between the eyes of the baseball bat
23:21just to get his attention.
23:23And Mink got his attention in a big way.
23:26He slung him over his shoulder like a country boy
23:28slings a sack of feet, baby.
23:31WCW, where the biggest boys play,
23:34where each and every week we bring you the newest,
23:36most exciting talent from all over the world.
23:42You know, you think about it,
23:43WCW has introduced more new talent in the last 90 days
23:47than anybody else has in the last two years.
23:48We're not talking about RuPaul wannabes here.
23:51We're talking about world-class athletes
23:55from all over the world.
23:58Irish now, you saw Conan defend the Mexican championship
24:01with the Clash of the Champions.
24:02Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit,
24:05Ohtani, Johnny Mato.
24:07We were talking about animals back
24:09and that's just what they went for.
24:11Maybe these guys are a little more intelligent
24:13than they look.
24:15Well, they know what to do in that ring.
24:17They may not be able to do your taxes,
24:18but I'll guarantee you one thing,
24:20they know what to do when the bell rings.
24:23Oh, headbutt!
24:24And you got two heads there.
24:26I mean, two cinder blocks coming crashing down on your chest.
24:30Hooks the leg, one, two, and he does.
24:32They still working on that back.
24:34One of them noggins hit him square in the back, baby.
24:37Animal, a little bit of trouble here.
24:38You know, you gotta wonder how much ring rust
24:40is he gonna have to shake off here
24:43because he is in there,
24:44Animal, that is, with a very, very physical team.
24:47Very swift, but in reverse into the corner.
24:50They are working on that back.
24:51Once again, slung him into that turnbuckle
24:54and that back is taking a beat.
24:56You know, you brought up a very important point there,
24:58ring rust.
24:59I don't care how tough you are, how strong you are,
25:01working out in the gym is one thing,
25:03but getting in the ring with the likes
25:04of The Barbarian and Ming,
25:05you better not be rusting or it's over for you real quick.
25:09Boy, they're just, you know, cover!
25:11Referee in position, one, two!
25:14Rolls the shoulder, rolls the left shoulder.
25:16But I'll tell you what, Barbarian and Ming,
25:17it's like they're writing a book on back injuries here.
25:22They're working on it and if he's gotten in ring rust,
25:24the faces of fear are systematically
25:27beating it off of him tonight.
25:28Maybe he can go on the road with Billy Ray Cyrus
25:30and they can sing my achy breaky back.
25:33If that's what's gonna happen,
25:34he's gonna have a very bad achy breaky back.
25:37I thought that was hard.
25:39Achy breaky hard?
25:40Of course, you ain't got any of that.
25:41I don't like that kind of music country.
25:43Two kinds of music I don't like.
25:44Ming going after Animal.
25:45Animal in a lot of trouble here.
25:47Rolls off the ring apron and Animal,
25:50he is in the wrong side of town.
25:52He's been there before but it's been a long time
25:54since he's had to face this kind of pressure.
25:56In, right into that barricade.
26:01Look at the whelps already on his back.
26:03That barricade put a slash across him like a bullwhip.
26:06I'll tell you something,
26:08Legion of Doom isn't adverse to doing that to you either.
26:11They're just doing it first.
26:12They'll do it to you, they'll hit you with chairs,
26:14railings, bar stools, bar rags, bar mates.
26:17They don't care.
26:18They'll beat you up with anything.
26:19They're just doing it first.
26:20Ming now, with an Irish whip on Animal.
26:23Oh no!
26:24Man, did you see that?
26:26Did you see that?
26:27On the butt.
26:28Hooks a leg, one, two, and I'll tell you what,
26:31what little gas Animal has left in him,
26:35he used to kick out of that one because he is in trouble.
26:40And he's gotta get back to the corner.
26:42He's a long way from his corner.
26:45But just the way Hawk will come in that ring,
26:47he will be able to take it any longer.
26:48One of the things that Ming and Barbarian
26:49has done very well is to keep Hawk out of the ring.
26:52They've kept Animal inside of the ring, obviously,
26:54electing to go after that back.
26:56Rumor has it, in the locker room area,
26:58that that back is just not 100%.
27:01Lex Luger alluded to it,
27:03and Ming and Barbarian are going to make sure
27:05that it becomes a reality,
27:08because if he didn't have a bad back,
27:10he's gonna get one here.
27:12Pick him up and spike him.
27:14Oh, and the back again.
27:16Call the meat wagon.
27:18There's no question about it,
27:20this is four of the most powerful
27:22that we've seen at the ring.
27:23One, two, in the same time ever.
27:27The referee's a little slow with his count.
27:32Barbarian back in the corner,
27:33goes up to that middle rope,
27:34and he is gonna launch an attack, airborne.
27:38Animal needs to make a tag, but instead, he gets nailed.
27:44That was like two rhinoceroses running at each other there.
27:48Neither one of them budged.
27:50This is not good for Hawk and Animal.
27:52Certainly, they wanted to come out here,
27:54make a very impressive debut,
27:57put a little fear in some of the teams here at WCW,
27:59but Animal giving us a glimpse
28:02of what made the Road Warriors so great.
28:05Maybe there is no ring rush.
28:06Maybe he set the Barbarian up
28:08after that first clothesline off the top,
28:10for him to do it a second time and miss.
28:12Now, he's gonna tag Hawk.
28:13Uh-oh, here we go.
28:15He makes the tag.
28:16He makes the tag, and in comes Hawk.
28:18Three big right hands, reverse knife hand chop.
28:20Irish Rip coming across the ring now.
28:23Clothesline, and he goes after Ming.
28:26Oh, and a foot to the side of the head,
28:27follows it up with another move.
28:28Hawk on fire inside the center of the ring,
28:31as he is single-handedly now taking on the Faces of Fear.
28:34Back into the corner, double Irish Rip out of the corner.
28:37They put on the brakes and take him into the turnbuckles.
28:40Well, he came into the ring for Aces and Daisies,
28:43but the brakes, ooh, I was just about to say,
28:46he turned Ming into Black Hat Susan.
28:48Yeah!
28:49And Animal, Animal still in the ring.
28:52He's still in there fighting.
28:53Hawk's in there fighting, all four are in there.
28:55I think the referee's lost it here.
28:57Let him go, let him go.
28:59Look at this.
29:00The Barbarian in there now, with Hawk, Animal to his back.
29:04Ming outside of the ring.
29:06This is trouble.
29:07Double sledge in the small of the back.
29:09Here we go, here we go.
29:11The crowd on their feet.
29:13Interference from Ming outside of the ring.
29:16Well, that was close,
29:17because that's their patented maneuver.
29:19Once Animal gets you up on his shoulders, it's over.
29:23John Hawk comes off that top buckle,
29:24he clotheslines, and that's over.
29:26That's it.
29:29Oh man, Piledriver in the center of the ring.
29:31He Piledriver right in the center of the ring.
29:33But he's not going for the pin or the cover.
29:35He could have had him there.
29:37I think they're just enjoying tearing him apart.
29:40I think you're right.
29:41Watch Hawk, watch Hawk.
29:42He goes airborne, right over the back.
29:45Right over the back of Animal.
29:46Animal comes in, makes a save.
29:48One, two, three.
29:49Here we go.
29:49And they win their debut performance here
29:53on Nitro, live on TNT.
29:57And I wonder what Lex Luger is thinking now
30:00about Animal's alleged bad back.
30:03Sign him up.
30:04Well, these guys might have a little rust on them,
30:06but they're a force to be reckoned with,
30:08as you saw right there.
30:10All right, I want to take a look at this.
30:12Courtesy of 1-800-COLLECT.
30:15Take a look at it again, Bobby.
30:18Well, I'll tell you, a very impressive win.
30:20Here Animal shoots in the Barbarian.
30:23And look at the power here.
30:24That's a scoop slam of a man over 300 pounds
30:27coming off the ropes at over 35 miles an hour probably.
30:30Hawk over the top, dives over Animal,
30:32catches the Barbarian with a clothesline.
30:34And a one, two, three for the Legion of Doom.
30:37What a debut.
30:38Brought to you live, 1-800-COLLECT.
30:40No way to save on Collect Calls just now.
30:421-800-COLLECT from any phone to any phone and save.
30:45Now, let's go to me, Gene Okerele.
30:48All right, I thank you very much, Eric Bischoff,
30:50along with Hugh Morris from the Dungeon of Doom.
30:53Here's the leader of the pack, so to speak,
30:55Taskmaster Kevin Sullivan.
30:56What's up this week?
30:57Well, I have a problem.
30:59You know, we made a pack with the four horsemen,
31:02and I always thought that Iron Anderson, the enforcer,
31:06was a man of his word.
31:08Let's go back and take a look at recently some of the,
31:12well, I guess, differences of opinion
31:14that occurred between you and the four horsemen
31:17when I say you are talking about the Dungeon of Doom.
31:19Yeah, let's go back and look at it right now
31:21because Iron Anderson gave me his word.
31:25Well, you take a look at what happened.
31:27Actually, he's the voice of reason, in my opinion.
31:30He said something that made sense.
31:33He's the voice of reason.
31:35Let me tell you something.
31:36To be a four horseman, you have to be one of the elite.
31:40You just saw Ric Flair beat Hulk Hogan,
31:43something the Dungeon's been trying to do.
31:45I'm not gonna argue with you, Kevin Sullivan.
31:47I'm not gonna argue with you at all.
31:50First, let me just say this.
31:53You and I made a pact,
31:55and you have always been a man of your word,
31:59and I intend for you to keep your word
32:02with this loose cannon.
32:04You either discipline him or suffer the consequences.
32:09Iron Anderson.
32:10I am a man of my word, and I am gonna take care of this.
32:15Pillman, in case you were wondering,
32:16I don't know where you were a few minutes ago,
32:18but Flair just beat Hogan all by himself
32:22in the middle of the ring,
32:23and you were nowhere to be found.
32:26But as usual, I took care of it.
32:30It's that same immaturity
32:32that's running rampant through your life right now.
32:34You're not an individual.
32:36You're one of the four horsemen,
32:37the elite in all of professional sports.
32:40That means you're part of a team.
32:42Do you understand what I'm saying?
32:43Now, I've talked to you.
32:45I even smacked you, tried to get a little sense out of you.
32:48Now, if you're gonna act like a child,
32:51there's a thing in this world called tough love.
32:54That's all that's left.
32:56Do you understand?
32:57But on this case, it's gonna hurt you more than it does me.
33:02Tough love?
33:03Tough love?
33:06Hey, hey, hey, hey.
33:17What in the world?
33:18Kevin Sullivan taking advantage of an opportunity here.
33:22Come on, Pillman.
33:23Anderson in, and Pillman hiding like a child.
33:27Now he's getting the beating that Anderson was gonna give him.
33:30Why didn't Pillman come to Iron Zayn?
33:33Come on, Rick, get out here.
33:34Ben, why don't somebody do something?
33:36He's whipping him like a red-headed stepchild.
33:38Oh, here comes Double A.
33:40And Anderson just DDT'd Hugh Morrison in center of the ring.
33:43And now he goes after Sullivan.
33:46I don't know what to make of this.
33:48And neither does Anderson.
33:50He said tough love.
33:51I'm thinking more like tough luck.
33:54What is going on here, Arn Anderson, Pillman?
33:59Okay, now I see where you stand.
34:03Sullivan, make no mistake, we police within our own.
34:09If we got a problem, we take care of it.
34:12And I know there's no honor among thieves, but we had a deal.
34:16Now, I know somebody back there from that executive committee is in this building.
34:25I'm not asking, I've never asked you for nothing.
34:27But I'm telling you, unless you want a bloodbath in that dressing room,
34:32get me a match.
34:34I'm not asking it, I'm demanding it with Sullivan and his stooge.
34:40Wow.
34:40All right, Pillman.
34:42I got you into this mess, and I'll get us out.
34:47All right, you heard Arn Anderson, ladies and gentlemen.
34:49He asked for a match, and that remark, by the way,
34:52directed exactly at the Dungeon of Doom, and especially the Taskmaster.
34:58Eric Bischoff, let's get back to you.
34:59Wow. All right, we gotta take a break.
35:01We'll be right back.
35:02Huh, what the heck?
35:04There's gonna be some roping and a stomping.
35:16Wrestling's SuperBRAWL, former, present, and future champions hit the ring
35:21with one thing on their minds, winning the belt.
35:25As WCW presents SuperBRAWL, Sunday, February 11th, live on pay-per-view.
35:32Call your cable operator to order now.
35:34Back with more Nitro, here on TNT, and
35:43I've got Sister Sherry standing by.
35:45I'm gonna talk to her.
35:46I wanna talk to you in a minute.
35:48But first, ladies and gentlemen, I wanna take you back to this past Tuesday night,
35:53out in Las Vegas, Nevada.
35:55It was WCW's Clash of the Champions.
35:59A wedding was supposed to take place, but it was disrupted when all of a sudden,
36:03Medusa showed up to interrupt a wedding between Colonel Robert Parker and
36:09Sister Sherry.
36:11I could not believe the presence of this young lady.
36:15And in just a second, I don't mind telling you, I'm gonna forget about it.
36:20All right.
36:21Medusa, back leg round kicks to the midsection.
36:26And Medusa picked up right where she left off in Las Vegas.
36:29And we are rocking and rolling.
36:31Now, finally, the bell rings, and is this thing going to be a war?
36:37Well, as you know, in every match, the preacher says,
36:40does anybody have anything to say?
36:42And I think Medusa stood up and said a mouthful.
36:46I'll tell you something, Mongo, that preacher is still running.
36:49He is still on the move.
36:50You don't wanna get in the way of these two.
36:52And Sherry knows a lot about this sport.
36:54She's been around the ring, she's been in the ring, so has Medusa.
36:58Snap suplex out onto the concrete floor.
37:01Knocked her out of her shoes.
37:02Look at that.
37:05To the midsection, Sherry, and Sherry with an open palm strike to the throat.
37:10She goes after Medusa.
37:12Medusa, very well versed in a martial arts herself.
37:14Back leg round kick by Sherry.
37:18And Medusa, who came out here on Nitro not so many weeks ago and
37:22took the WWE Women's Championship belt, tossed it in the trash.
37:26Joined the leagues of WCW, where the big boys and
37:30the big girls play, like Lex Luger, like so
37:34many other athletes in the world today, and they all wanna be in WCW.
37:39Back leg round kicks now to the midsection, Medusa.
37:43Where's the colonel?
37:45Where is the colonel?
37:46He's probably still running after Las Vegas.
37:48Well, if you saw that, he was on the phone to somebody named Grandpa, and
37:51I don't know who he was talking about.
37:53Somebody stood up, I'm not gonna mention any names.
37:57Well, he wasn't talking to Sherry cuz she was with him.
37:59The only person that got mad was Medusa.
38:01That must be his fried pie.
38:04And now, Sherry going up to the top turnbuckle.
38:08She is gonna launch an attack, an aerial attack,
38:11unless Medusa can put the brakes on it.
38:12And she does, drops her.
38:14But Sherry with the cover, one, two, and three.
38:16No.
38:17Sister Sherry.
38:21Sister Sherry.
38:23But man, is she getting nailed.
38:26Belly to back suplex by Medusa, and then Medusa going to work, slapping her silly.
38:32Sherry is out, she is out.
38:35And she landed on the back of her neck.
38:36Stop this, put an end to this right now.
38:40Look at this, taking two referees.
38:43Hey, Medusa should have stayed in the WWE.
38:45She could have taken on 80% of the male athletes in that division.
38:50Sherry is out like a light.
38:52Wow.
38:53Well, she's a lot more of a man than Gophar, but I'll tell you that.
38:55Coming up next, the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
38:58defends his title against the Giant, here on WCW Nitro Live on TNT.
39:07I'll tell you what, I am shaking up here.
39:11We just saw him taking Sherry out of here.
39:13Hulk Hogan is out.
39:15He's got a bad eye.
39:16We're still waiting to hear what that's all about.
39:18I don't know what's going on with Sherry.
39:20We've got a World Heavyweight Championship match coming up.
39:23Somebody give me word on Hogan.
39:25Give me word on Sherry.
39:27This thing is hot.
39:27We knew it was going to be hot, but I didn't
39:29think it was going to be like this.
39:30Well, it's Nitro.
39:31What did you expect?
39:32Man.
39:33And it's going to get hotter, Bishop, because you know who's
39:36on his way to the ring right now.
39:38Seven feet four, over 400 pounds, the big man, the Giant.
39:45This is, without a doubt, the biggest of them
39:49all, where the big boy's playing, the Giant, over 400 pounds.
39:53And you can bet he and the Taskmaster, Kevin Sullivan,
39:57celebrating that vicious attack to Hulk Hogan,
40:01that high-heeled spike right to the eye.
40:03I mean, that could have done serious eye damage.
40:05Michael, can you imagine what it would
40:06be like being inside of the steel cage at Super
40:09Brawl and seeing two Giants?
40:11That's right.
40:12Or three.
40:13I told you about them folks.
40:14You start seeing two and three.
40:16I'd hate to be facing something like that and seeing three of them.
40:19I wouldn't know which one to take.
40:21How would you like to have blurred vision
40:22and not be able to see anything in there with the Giant?
40:25At least I'd like to know where the door is.
40:27That's a good point.
40:29Hulk Hogan, for all we know, may be out of wrestling.
40:33An eye injury is nothing to take lightly.
40:37Well, at least the thing was cut.
40:39And a woman leading the belly of beauties
40:45who brought Hulk Hogan out to the ring.
40:47And as we anticipate, the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
40:50the world heavyweight champion, to make his entrance.
40:53One can only hope that Hogan's all right.
40:57And Sherry, no matter what you may think about her,
40:59I hope she's OK.
41:00And there she is, Miss Elizabeth, makes her way to the ring.
41:04Better be wearing sneakers, Dutch, because those high heels
41:07have gotten your men in trouble.
41:09Well, you better give it to Hogan and Savage.
41:12They know what pretty women look like.
41:14That's a fact.
41:15Well, it was Roy Orbison, but it didn't do him any good.
41:18Where's Savage?
41:19Hiding.
41:21There's Savage.
41:22Savage.
41:23He comes in.
41:24They set him up.
41:25They set him up.
41:26They were looking at the women, and there's Savage sneaking up.
41:28I love it.
41:29Even Giants have an eye for the ladies.
41:33And Savage knew it.
41:34He goes after it.
41:35No, wait a minute.
41:36What's the referee doing here?
41:40Is he calling for the bell?
41:42What?
41:44I don't understand.
41:47And Savage has got the sleeper put on the giant.
41:50Flair's at ringside now.
41:51No, he was.
41:52He's calling for the bell.
41:53This thing is over before it got started.
41:54We got a new world champion.
41:55Is that right?
41:56It's a disqualification, baby.
41:57Flair comes out.
41:58No Hogan.
41:59Savage out there all alone.
42:00Steve Luger not in the building.
42:01If the Luger would be any help.
42:02But what's the decision here?
42:03What's going on?
42:04Oh, man.
42:05Oh, man.
42:06Oh, man.
42:07Oh, man.
42:08Oh, man.
42:09Oh, man.
42:10Oh, man.
42:11Oh, man.
42:12Oh, man.
42:13Oh, man.
42:14Oh, man.
42:15Oh, man.
42:16Oh, man.
42:17Oh, man.
42:18Oh, man.
42:19Oh, man.
42:20You talk about a guy who's going to, this is a guy who just, a spike to the eye of Hulk
42:26Hogan.
42:27The Nature Boy Ric Flair gets the match and now he's going to come out and dismantle the
42:31Macho Man, Randy Savage.
42:33Well, the good news is he's got disqualified for hitting the guy with the bell.
42:37But the bad news is they're going to rip that bad arm off and beat him with it if he's not
42:41careful.
42:42Superbowl coming up.
42:44Double cage match.
42:46And these, you know, I know the intensity and everything gets cranked up a couple notches
42:52as you head into a cage because everybody knows how dangerous it is.
42:56But these guys are taking it to a whole nother level.
43:00A spike to the eye of Hulk Hogan.
43:02And now a vicious attack on the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
43:09Disqualified.
43:10Oh.
43:11Oh.
43:12They're having their way with Savage because they know he's backstage.
43:16He can't see anything.
43:17Look at this.
43:18Remember this.
43:19Savage is a man who came in the ring and attacked the giant from behind.
43:22He's getting exactly what he deserves.
43:25There is nobody here to come to the aid of the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
43:31And there's not enough security in this building, frankly, to handle this monster, this giant.
43:36And look at Flair.
43:37Look at this despicable display.
43:41Well, he's got Savage in Superbowl.
43:43He's just doing a little homework.
43:45You know what's happening here right now?
43:47This is becoming personal.
43:48They've made it personal.
43:49It doesn't matter anymore about money, fame, fortune.
43:52They're making it personal.
43:53They're taking Savage out.
43:55Look at the power of this man.
43:57One hand.
43:58The giant with a one-arm curl of the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
44:02And then he drives him down into that ring, Matt.
44:06And look at Ric Flair.
44:07That choke slam is systematically taking everybody out into WCW.
44:12Ric Flair knows he has got the Macho Man, Randy Savage, inside of a steel cage at Superbowl.
44:19And look at this.
44:21Wait a minute.
44:22The crowd erupting here.
44:23Look at Hogan.
44:25Hogan taped up.
44:27He looks like a big, red and yellow mummy.
44:30Okay.
44:31Oh, man.
44:33He's trying to beat.
44:35Did you hear that?
44:36He's trying to beat with that good eye, baby.
44:38Did you hear that?
44:41But the giant is not out.
44:43He's on one knee.
44:45Oh, did you?
44:46Hogan is taking no prisoners.
44:49It's batting practice.
44:50Oh, my goodness.
44:52I promise you I'm not going to run up there and stop him with this chair.
44:56Nobody in their right mind would.
44:58Hogan is clearing house.
45:01Somebody get call 911.
45:04Hogan has lost it.
45:06Did you hear how he hit the giant with that chair?
45:08Oh, it sounded like a rifle.
45:10Let's go out of here.
45:12Get out of here.
45:14That ain't your boy Ric Flair.
45:16Just jumped up here and screamed in my ear.
45:20How about that?
45:23Get him out of here.
45:25Hogan, I beat you twice.
45:29Twice on this very show.
45:32And it's 18.
45:36Watch it.
45:37Watch it.
45:38It's 18.
45:40Two cages.
45:43Come on.
45:44Come on.
45:45Damage the cage.
45:48Blood, sweat, tears.
45:50Get him out of here.
45:51Come on, giant.
45:52Get him out of here.
45:53Get him out of here.
45:55Hogan, I'm going to take your bones and make my breath.
46:00Your body, heart, and soul is mine forever.
46:07Forget it like this.
46:10Whether you like it or you don't like it.
46:13Two cages.
46:15One on sanction.
46:16One for the world title.
46:18Savage, I'm going to take you, your belt, and Elizabeth one more time.
46:26That's what happens when you bring the witches of Eastwick to the ring with you,
46:31Savage and Hogan.
46:33This is Ric Flair country.
46:35This is the giant, baby, together forever.
46:38Come on.
46:39Come on.
46:40Come on.
46:41Come on.
46:42Get yourself.
46:43Take it easy, Ric.
46:44Take it easy, Ric.
46:45Wait.
46:46No, you sit here, Ric.
46:47Yes.
46:48I'm the host.
46:49Super bra.
46:50Super bra.
46:51WCW.
46:52Ric, relax.
46:53Relax.
46:54I got the giant.
46:55I got the mastermind.
46:56And I got-
46:57Let me explain one thing.
46:58This man right here and this man here have cleaned the whole set of nitro.
47:10They've taken care of Hogan.
47:12They've taken care of Savage.
47:14And now at Super Brawl, they're going to take care of the biggest and best of them inside
47:19of a steel cage.
47:20Look at them.
47:21Super bra.
47:22Super bra, baby.
47:23I'm gonna take the world title for the first big time, woo!
47:30Ha ha ha!
