00:00Hello, everybody, and you are looking at beautiful downtown Los Angeles.
00:29Beautiful downtown Tampa.
00:30And we are coming to you live from the Florida State Fair, courtesy of one Mr. George Steinbrenner.
00:31We'll be seeing him later on.
00:32And what a broadcast we have for you.
00:33Yes, indeed.
00:34It will unseasonably cold outside here in Florida, but it is hot inside.
00:35And we have got a tremendous crowd on hand for another great edition of WCW.
00:37Nitro Live on TNT.
00:38I'm Eric Bischoff.

02:22You got a screw loose.
02:23You got a screw loose.
02:24It's time for these two athletes to admit that they had respect for each other.
02:27This thing ended almost before it started.
02:29Pillman, he left the building.
02:31He's history.
02:32Arn Anderson came in and tried to make up for what Pillman didn't get done.
02:37Ric Flair came in, broke it up.
02:39And Ric Flair, ever the diplomat, brought these two guys together and tried to refocus
02:45Sullivan and Arn Anderson.
02:47And speaking about that injured boy, Ric Flair, we saw more of him than we cared to.
02:51And so did the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
02:53The Macho Man, Randy Savage, accompanied to the ring by Elizabeth.
02:56Miss Elizabeth, if you will.
02:58Savage had the match in hand.
03:00But then it was powder.
03:02It was high heels.
03:04It was a disaster.
03:06And the move that shocked everybody.
03:08Miss Elizabeth showing her true colors.
03:12An assist.
03:14Another high heel.
03:15A spike.
03:18And the Nature Boy, Ric Flair, left the arena as an unprecedented 13-time world heavyweight champion.
03:25It was a shocker.
03:27And then it was that death match.
03:29The giant inside of a steel cage with Hulk Hogan.
03:33Hogan still with a bad left eye.
03:36Hogan was able to escape the cage.
03:38He got nailed from behind.
03:40Kevin Sullivan attacked him.
03:42And then Hogan fed it up.
03:44He fought the entire Dungeon of Doom until Loch Ness, the monster that was a surprise for Hulk Hogan, made his way to the ring.
03:52Hogan wanted him.
03:53Hogan wanted him bad.
03:54But it did not happen.
03:56Something tells me it will.
03:58And yes, you're going to see Hulk Hogan here tonight.
04:01He's in a match with Arn Anderson.
04:03The Loch Ness monster is here.
04:05I'll tell you what.
04:06It's going to be a big night here on Nitro Mongo.
04:08Well, the little guy's got the headsets on because you don't know what's going to happen backstage tonight.
04:13I saw Macho Man Savage walking around a while ago.
04:16That's a man possessed, baby.
04:18Well, you better put a hard hat on that little chihuahua you got there because the size of this man, Loch Ness, he's got to be well close to 600 pounds.
04:25I wouldn't want to mess with him.
04:26Let's get it done.
04:27Let's get down to the ring and open it up.
04:30Hugh Morris and the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
04:35And the Macho Man, Randy Savage, had every intention of defending his world championship here tonight.
04:42He signed for the match.
04:43Unfortunately, he is not the WCW World Heavyweight Champion.
04:46Ric Flair took care of that last night in Super Brawl VI.
04:50But it has been signed.
04:52Let me tell you now.
04:54Next week, the match, the return match between the Nature Boy Ric Flair and the Macho Man, Randy Savage, is signed.
05:01And you'll see it next week right here on Nitro.
05:04But right now, the Macho Man, Randy Savage, is going to have to be satisfied, guys, with Hugh Morris.
05:10Well, I'll tell you something.
05:11When you know you have to wrestle a man well over 300 pounds and a psychopath like this, Hugh Morris, you've got to be worried.
05:17But Savage can't be focused on this match.
05:19I mean, he just lost the championship of the world, and he lost the girl he took to the dance.
05:24He went with her to the dance, and he came home all alone.
05:28Well, I'll tell you what, brother.
05:29If it was me, I saw Flair walk off with the women, with the championship belt.
05:34It wouldn't matter who was in the ring.
05:36I just want to beat something.
05:39The Macho Man, Randy Savage, one of the most colorful, one of the most flamboyant athletes in all of WCW.
05:46And this is a guy in the crowd responding before he even comes out.
05:51He may be a lot of flash.
05:53Well, maybe he's not a lot of flash.
05:56I told you, look at him.
05:57No hat, no glasses, no pomp and circumstance.
06:01He just wants to get down to business, baby.
06:04This guy, he's serious.
06:06Look at his eyes.
06:07Just look at his eyes.
06:08There's no big entrance.
06:10I mean, no big, oh, yeah.
06:13This man is beside himself.
06:16He can't make a decision.
06:18Anybody that knows the Macho Man, Randy Savage, knows that this guy is wound,
06:23sometimes wound just a little too tight, a little too intense for his own good.
06:28But this is one time, I have to admit, the Macho Man, Randy Savage, is going to have to get serious.
06:33And he is already into the thick of things here.
06:36He is going after Hugh Morris.
06:38Hugh Morris in trouble here at the very beginning.
06:40The Macho Man, Randy Savage, all over him.
06:43Well, I hope the Taskmaster got Hugh Morris ready
06:45because Savage isn't the kind of opponent he's used to having.
06:48This man doesn't care about beating him.
06:50He's got another agenda.
06:51You've got to be very careful when you're in there with Savage
06:53because this man, something's burning inside of him.
06:57Well, Hugh Morris is part of the Dungeon of Doom,
06:59and they do have an agenda to take out Hulkamania.
07:03Hulkamania and Macho's part of that being one of the mega powers, baby.
07:07They can just strip it all down.
07:09If anybody had any doubts about the agenda of the Dungeon of Doom,
07:12you got a good look at it last night at Super Brawl VI.
07:15You had every one of them, anybody that's ever been associated with the Dungeon of Doom in there,
07:19all of them trying to take out Hulk Hogan.
07:21And Hogan would not be had by any man or any men out of the Dungeon of Doom.
07:27Well, Hogan was smart enough to get himself a chair
07:29and put his back against that cage and have batting practice.
07:32And if they'd have let that Loch Ness in that ring,
07:34I'll tell you, it'd be a different story.
07:35I don't think so.
07:36I think Hogan would have been all over Loch Ness Monster.
07:39I think it would have been all over.
07:40I think Hogan would have done to the Loch Ness Monster
07:42what the Loch Ness Monster does to a big man.
07:46Well, I don't care how big the man is.
07:48You put a metal chair across his head, he's going to feel it, baby.
07:52That's exactly what Hogan was doing last night.
07:54He was hitting everybody with chairs.
07:56The left field, the right field, every place.
07:59You don't think he was going to take on every one of them without that, do you?
08:04I don't know how many men he was seeing.
08:05He's still nursing that bad eye.
08:07Oh, yes!
08:09The big boot in the face, baby.
08:11Boy, you talk about a perfect time defensive maneuver
08:14on the part of the Macho Man Randy Savage.
08:16He put that big boot up there and he leveled.
08:18And I mean leveled Hugh Morris.
08:20Nothing funny about that, Hugh Morris.
08:22And a devastating elbow cover.
08:24One, two, and a kick out.
08:26Rolls the shoulder.
08:27And a rake of the eyes by Hugh Morris.
08:30You know something about Savage, he usually likes to get in that ring,
08:32raise that finger in the air, give you the oh yeah,
08:34hit every corner, climb to the top rope.
08:37He's thinking about something right now.
08:39He's focused on something else.
08:40And you talk about everything that's been brewing
08:43with Savage, Hogan, Flair, the Tossmaster Kevin Sullivan.
08:47Let me tell you how far this thing goes back.
08:49This goes back all the way to, they were taping Baywatch,
08:54a Baywatch episode that by the way is going to air February 19th.
08:58Check your local listings and you'll see Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair
09:01and the Tossmaster and the Macho Man Randy Savage
09:04on a special edition of Baywatch.
09:06But you'll be able to see that.
09:08These guys, I mean there's been bad blood between these four guys
09:11for a long, long time.
09:13It hasn't gotten better.
09:14It's only gotten worse.
09:16And I don't see it ending.
09:17I don't see any solution until somebody's hospitalized,
09:20until somebody's out of this sport, until somebody's out completely.
09:23And you know, that taping of the Baywatch episode,
09:25that goes all the way back to the bash at the beach last year.
09:28I mean this thing's been brewing for a long time.
09:31Yeah, Kevin Sullivan, Macho is on the beach trying to get him a pump.
09:35Kevin Sullivan comes in and drops the stack of weights on his neck.
09:39That's when it all started.
09:40Well, there was a lot of trouble during the whole filming of Baywatch.
09:43They were in different trailers.
09:44They wouldn't be in the same set with Hogan.
09:46They made demands.
09:47The producer personally told me that Kevin Sullivan and Flair
09:50will never work in that town again.
09:52Like I said, check your local listings.
09:54February 19th, the Baywatch episode,
09:57the WCW edition of the Baywatch episode.
10:00It's Macho Man Randy Savage runs in, double sledge.
10:03Hugh Morris in trouble here.
10:04Hugh Morris shot all the way across the ring
10:08and another elbow right to the chin.
10:10And Hugh Morris bounces off the mat.
10:12He's in trouble.
10:13The Macho Man Randy Savage, he's in control.
10:16This is uncharacteristic of Macho.
10:18That's the first time he's worked the crowd the whole match.
10:21He's nothing but business, baby.
10:23He is serious about his match with Hugh Morris.
10:27He is serious about the return match with the Nature Boy, Ric Flair,
10:31next week right here, live-
10:33Look at this.
10:34On WCW Monday Night Show.
10:35Look at this.
10:39Wow.
10:41The high-risk maneuver that almost put a hole in the mat.
10:44You know, Savage has to be tired after that match last night.
10:47And you know yourself,
10:48he probably didn't have a wink of sleep the whole night.
10:51There he goes.
10:53Oh, yeah.
10:54He measures for distance.
10:55Man, does he plant that elbow right across the top of the chest.
11:02Picture perfect.
11:03Picture perfect.
11:04He's still effort to pin him.
11:05Oh, he's gonna do it again?
11:07Is he gonna get up there-
11:08No, no, no, no, no, no.
11:09I told you, he's a man that's been driven too far.
11:13He's lost it.
11:14This crowd on their feet.
11:16But I'll tell you what.
11:18Oh.
11:19Oh.
11:20Oh, man.
11:21Two, three, and Hugh Morris is gonna be popping up his rib cage
11:26for the next six weeks.
11:28Look at Savage.
11:29Look at those eyes.
11:30What did you think?
11:31You saw Elizabeth or Flair land on that mat that second time, baby?
11:35Oh, man.
11:36You know Flair's in the back of his mind,
11:38Elizabeth's in the front of his mind,
11:39and anything else running through his mind
11:41is just total mayhem.
11:42Look it.
11:43He's gonna get up there and do it again.
11:45Oh, come on, Randy.
11:47This crowd is taking him on, I'll tell you.
11:50And that's what we don't need.
11:52We don't need this man any crazier than he is.
12:00And Hugh Morris, I'll tell you what.
12:01It's a good thing he got the heck out of that ring.
12:03Yeah, he doesn't have too much to laugh about that now, does he?
12:07You're right.
12:08I don't want him.
12:10I want the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
12:15Look at him.
12:17You heard it.
12:19He didn't want Hugh Morris.
12:21He just cut through Hugh Morris like a hot knife through butter.
12:24He wants the Nature Boy, Ric Flair, and he'll have him next week,
12:29right here, live on Nitro, the return match for the WCW World Heavyweight title.
12:38Take the shop collar off the Doberman, baby.
12:41All right.
12:42We've got more great action coming your way right after this timeout.
12:46Wow.
12:51Wow.
12:52This WCW magazine is really cool.
12:56In the February issue, you'll see exclusive photos of World War III,
13:00including Ric Flair and Sting's brutal conflict.
13:03And is it a family feud?
13:04I'm torn apart.
13:05Or something more?
13:06Find out.
13:07Plus, the macho man, Randy Savage, speaks out.
13:10That's right.
13:11Man, where do they get this stuff?
13:14Get your copy now on newsstands everywhere.
13:20We are back live from the State Fair in Tampa, Florida,
13:23with me at this time, number 29, WCW's car.
13:27Of course, our association with Diamond Ridge Motorsports.
13:30I saw those guys in the golf course earlier today.
13:33I'm talking about our driver, Steve Grissom.
13:35It's a great association, and great to have you here at Nitro.
13:38Yeah, it sure is.
13:39I tell you what, Gene, we're awfully excited about it.
13:41And just to be here tonight with all the fans,
13:44a lot of the same people that are here tonight are the ones that watch the races.
13:47We're awfully excited about this year.
13:48What about the car itself?
13:49I'm excited about the way it looks.
13:51It's just a fantastic-looking car.
13:53Yeah, it sure is.
13:54I tell you, the car looks awful good, and it's running awful good.
13:57We got out today at Daytona and got some practice in.
13:59We qualify tomorrow, get ready for Saturday's race.
14:02We're looking forward to Sting's coming down.
14:04He's working a big crew for us, so we got a big weekend ahead of us.
14:07All right, you got Sting and yourself in WCW's car number 29 this weekend in Daytona.
14:12And as you mentioned, you burned up the track today, Steve.
14:15Yeah, I tell you, you know, it's just one of those situations.
14:18You get out there and you start practicing and stuff,
14:20kind of filling the car out, seeing what you got.
14:22Then we get ready to qualify tomorrow.
14:23Tomorrow's the big day for us.
14:25By the way, Gary Bechtel and Andre Corona,
14:27better come up with some dough they lost on a golf course today.
14:30Thank you, Steve Grissom.
14:31Thanks, appreciate it.
14:32Let's get you back to the ring here on Nitro.
14:38All right, our next match coming up, and I'll tell you what,
14:40if you didn't get a chance to join us last night at Super Bowl VI,
14:43you're going to get a chance to see this monster now.
14:46We're talking about the Loch Ness Monster, Scotty Riggs.
14:50Brother, I hope you've got your life insurance paid up.
14:54His best bet would be to get in that race car and get out of town.
14:57Oh, I'll tell you what.
15:00Hats off, he's got a lot of guts, a lot of courage.
15:05I don't know, man.
15:07This guy is like close to 700 pounds, this Loch Ness Monster.
15:12Is he from England?
15:14If he is, he probably did crawl out of that slam pit they call Loch Ness.
15:18He does have a funny aroma about him.
15:20All right.
15:21Smell a little different.
15:22We'll get a chance to see him.
15:23Check him out right after this timeout.
15:25Don't leave us now.
15:30All right.
15:33Welcome back to WCW Monday Night Raw Live on TNT,
15:37the most watched wrestling program each and every Monday night.
15:42WCW, where the big boys played.
15:45What are you talking about?
15:46Big boys.
15:48This.
15:49This.
15:50Oh, my.
15:51He's a big boy.
15:52Have mercy, Miss Percy.
15:55This is it, baby.
15:59Come on.
16:01Scotty Riggs hits the door.
16:03And I tell you what.
16:05I hope we don't get a close-up of this guy's dental work,
16:09because it ain't pretty.
16:11At least he's clean.
16:12I saw him backstage flossing with some of the camera cable.
16:16He was just eating.
16:17He's going to be flossing with Scotty Riggs.
16:19That's what I'm afraid of.
16:21This guy, this is unbelievable.
16:24He's nearly 700 pounds.
16:27In case you just joined us, still to come on Anderson and Hulk Hogan.
16:33That, your main event.
16:35We're going to hear from Miss Elizabeth,
16:38woman and the Nature Boy, Ric Flair, following this contest.
16:43And I tell you what.
16:44I want to hear.
16:45You know, Miss Elizabeth doesn't say much, all right?
16:47I want to hear what she's got to say.
16:49I want to hear out of her own mouth what her motivation was.
16:54Maybe she's got a good reason.
16:56I don't know.
16:58Not a handsome man.
17:03If Ugly could kill, this guy would be world champion.
17:06If Ugly could kill, they'd be doing an autopsy on Scotty Riggs already.
17:10Yeah, we need to get him over at the fair and see if that guy can guess his weight.
17:14Look at that drop kick on this big man, and it barely moved him at all.
17:18Scotty Riggs.
17:20And, you know, if you wanted to score drop kicks,
17:23this guy's got one of the best in the industry,
17:25and it is having no impact on this monster at all.
17:30Riggs has got to get him down.
17:32He goes airborne.
17:33Oh.
17:35There goes his knees, both of them.
17:37Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
17:38Massed him like a pancake.
17:42Don't do it.
17:45I tell you what.
17:46If Scotty Riggs has got a chance on this big man.
17:48Oh, no.
17:51Tag his toe.
17:52It's over.
17:53That's like the car jack came out from under the car, and you were under it.
17:57Jimmy Hart at ringside, egging this monster.
18:03I mean, ugh.
18:05The only way Scotty Riggs has got a chance here.
18:08Oh, not again.
18:10Oh.
18:11What?
18:12Jimmy Hart, get out of there.
18:14Get out of there, Hart.
18:16Oh, no.
18:17Look at him.
18:18Look at him doing his.
18:19What a maggot.
18:20I don't know.
18:21Which of these two are more disgusting?
18:23Well, I was fixing to say, the only way Scotty Riggs has a chance to beat a gargantuan like that
18:28is buzz around him like a killer bee and sting him all over.
18:32But he didn't get the chance to do that.
18:34Look at the face on that man.
18:35He's been in some battles.
18:37He's had some fights.
18:38Let's not look at the face on that man.
18:40Oh, that's nobody to push around.
18:41Look at the back on that man.
18:43You're getting the best look at him right now.
18:45Well, it's his better half, all right.
18:46All right.
18:47Mean Gene Okerlund is standing by.
18:49I believe he is ready.
18:50I want to get the interview.
18:51Let's go down to Mean Gene.
18:52Well, Eric, I'd like to have our television cameras follow us if we could.
18:57I had planned on talking to, once again, the WCW heavyweight champion for the 13th time,
19:04the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
19:05However, I used the word, well, I don't want to say it, really, his accomplices from last night,
19:12our woman, and you.
19:14You surprised me, to say the least, Elizabeth.
19:16I had no idea that it would turn out this way.
19:19Well, Gene, you know, Randy promised that last night someone was leaving the building on a gurney.
19:25Well, it may have taken us all night, but Ric Flair is a man of his word.
19:31Leaving on a gurney.
19:33Leaving on a gurney.
19:34Leaving on a gurney, the Nature Boy, Ric Flair, 13 times.
19:40Just taking a little cat nap.
19:44You know, it's not easy being Ric Flair.
19:48It's not easy being the Nature Boy.
19:51And let me tell you, for those of you that don't understand what has happened,
19:58we now have woman on our right and Miss, whoo-hoo, by God, Elizabeth, on our left.
20:11And we also just happen to be, for the 13th time, the reigning World Heavyweight Champion.
20:21So we can dance all night.
20:24Whoa, whoa, wait a minute.
20:25Wait a minute.
20:26Ric Flair, what about next week?
20:27The cat is out of the bag.
20:29You have got a mandatory title defense against Randy Savage right here on Nitro.
20:33And I can't wait.
20:35Anytime I have an opportunity.
20:37Come here, girls.
20:38What is this?
20:40Anytime.
20:41Follow me, Gene.
20:42Anytime I have an opportunity to walk the aisle, to style and profile,
20:49to be the Nature Boy, to fly Learjets, to ride at Long Limousines,
20:58and to talk to the girls about Space Mountain all night long.
21:04You got to love it.
21:06You got to love it.
21:08But, Savage, Hogan, in a serene moment, let me just say that sometimes,
21:19sometimes only a woman can say things as eloquently as they need to be heard.
21:30What is he talking about, Elizabeth?
21:32The floor is yours, darling.
21:35Come over here, woman.
21:37Yes, I have something to say.
21:40For seven years, I had to walk behind Randy, sit in the corner,
21:46and never open my mouth.
21:49Well, when I left, I took half of everything, half the money,
21:53half the property.
21:55But that was nothing, because last night, I took it all.
22:04Wait a minute here.
22:06What she wants to say.
22:08I know that that belt was the most important thing to Randy.
22:13And he prides himself on living on the edge.
22:16Well, he's over the edge and looking up at the Nature Boy.
22:21Me and Gene, to sum it all up, as we walked through the fairgrounds
22:28of Tampa Florida Expo, I saw a guard say,
22:33my God, what's causing all this?
22:38Girls.
22:39Thank you very much, Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
22:42Oh, my.
22:44In case you missed it, or if you'd like to experience it just one more time,
22:47join us tomorrow night for the encore presentation of Super Brawl 6.
22:51Contact your local cable company.
22:53Tell them you want to see it again.
22:55Super Brawl 6 on pay-per-view tomorrow night.
22:59And we have got the debut of yet another new,
23:04up-and-coming superstar here in WCW.
23:08You know, we bring more new, exciting wrestlers from all over the world
23:12to the forefront of the WCW.
23:15And we're going to have a lot of fun.
23:17We're going to have a lot of fun.
23:19We're going to have a lot of fun.
23:21We're going to have a lot of fun.
23:23We're going to have a lot of fun.
23:25More exciting wrestlers from all over the world to the forefront than anybody.
23:31And this guy, Dangerous Devon Storm, is the newest.
23:37I've been hearing a lot about this guy, Mike.
23:39He's kind of like a suicidal kind of a guy.
23:41I was talking backstage about this guy.
23:43He's into high-risk maneuvers.
23:45He doesn't care about his body.
23:47He's going to throw it all out there.
23:49He wants to win in the WCW, baby.
23:52Well, they say this is a man that wrestles with an attitude.
23:54He doesn't really care about his opponent.
23:56He doesn't care about himself.
23:57He's here to make a name for himself.
23:59He's brash. He's a loud mouth.
24:00He's a show-off.
24:01But he says he can back it up.
24:04Well, he better be able to back it up because we've got another newcomer here,
24:08and he's got two titles to his name, my friend.
24:11Mr. Conan is a force to be reckoned with, and he's already proved that.
24:16The United States Heavyweight Champion.
24:19The U.S. Championship.
24:21He also holds the Mexican title,
24:24but he is indeed the reigning U.S. Heavyweight Champion.
24:28Very colorful indeed.
24:31A very popular athlete in Mexico.
24:33This guy is in a soap opera in Mexico.
24:36It's called the Young and the Ridiculous.
24:38I can't imagine what a soap opera must feel like, but he's in it.
24:43The pride and the power, maybe.
24:47All right, we will have this action for you when we come back right after this.
24:51This one's going to be good.
24:52This one is going to be good.
24:54Aguila, amigos. Aguila.
24:58All right, we are back, and I do believe we are ready to go.
25:02And a dropkick to the shoulder blades by Dangerous Devin Storm.
25:05And I tell you what, I am really looking forward to this guy.
25:08I have heard so much about him.
25:11Slides right under the rope.
25:13Hits Conan.
25:15And this guy, what's he looking for?
25:16What's he looking for under there?
25:18He's got it.
25:20He's got it.
25:21Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
25:22The referee will stop.
25:23He's not going to use the chair as a weapon.
25:25He's setting that up for choir practice.
25:27Oh!
25:28Did you see that?
25:30I thought he was going to hit him with the chair.
25:33He come off that thing flying like I don't even know what he did there.
25:37I can't even come up with a move like that and think,
25:39why would a man want to do a move like that?
25:41How dangerous that is.
25:43This guy is crazy.
25:45What's he doing here?
25:46Have a seat.
25:47Conan is staggered.
25:49Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
25:52This guy's moving furniture around like a moving company.
25:58Oh!
25:59Oh, he got caught.
26:02Conan wasn't dazed at all.
26:04He set him up big time.
26:06He read the book on this Dangerous Devin Storm,
26:09and he knew exactly what he was doing waiting in that chair.
26:12Storm just got power bombed on a concrete floor.
26:16But I like the guy.
26:17He takes chances.
26:18Yeah.
26:19And here at WCW, you have to take chances.
26:21I mean, the man Conan, I think history will show he's the only man right now
26:25that has ever held the United States title in the Mexican championship.
26:28So this Devin Storm wants to make a name for himself, no doubt about that.
26:32Yeah, we're going to getting a, wow.
26:36Devin Storm now, he's in a corner.
26:38He's in a corner.
26:39Conan running clothesline, and Conan takes Storm right off his feet.
26:43That knocked a little color out of his hair.
26:46And Dangerous Devin Storm runs in with a big right hand.
26:48He takes a right hand from Conan.
26:50Conan up over the top rope.
26:53And he takes Dangerous Devin Storm down.
26:56Storm now moving all the way across the ring.
26:59And Conan sets up another takeover.
27:02And Conan is all offense here.
27:05Body scissors attempt.
27:06Hooks the arm.
27:09Where are all these moves coming from?
27:11Look at these guys.
27:12Whoa.
27:14See, the thing about Conan is he is not going to come here and wrestle our style.
27:18He's going to wrestle his style.
27:20That's what makes him so tough.
27:21That's what throws everybody's timing off.
27:23This is a very dangerous man, Conan.
27:25Holds two championships, and this Devin Storm is going to have to really reach down to do something here.
27:30And I'll tell you what.
27:32Conan really feeding off of the enthusiasm of the crowd here.
27:36And Dangerous Devin Storm, I'll tell you what.
27:38This match is to wrestling what Talladega is to car wrestling.
27:44Two.
27:45Two and a two count there by Conan, the U.S. Heavyweight Champion.
27:48I thought he had him with that last drop.
27:50If Dangerous made a mistake, if he came in here thinking that Conan wasn't a wrestler,
27:54because he beat a huge man in the one-man game to get that title, baby.
28:01And there he is, the man that brought WCW to the Florida State Fair.
28:07George Steinbrenner, the New York Yankees.
28:10He's a good friend of mine.
28:11You know, I got season tickets, but you won't believe how high they are up there.
28:14Yeah, I was going to say, you don't have too many great friends.
28:17Single leg pickup.
28:18Dangerous Devin Storm now working over the leg of Conan.
28:22Still to come in this broadcast, Hulk Hogan and Arn Anderson of the Four Horsemen.
28:28I do believe now that they are three horsemen, but you'll be hearing a lot more about that, I'm sure.
28:33Dangerous Devin Storm working over the leg.
28:35Conan looking for an escape here.
28:37Conan needs a way out.
28:39He counters.
28:40He's got a leg of his own.
28:41Storm pretty close to the ropes.
28:43Does he grab one?
28:44One.
28:45He got two.
28:47And he grabs a hold of the ropes.
28:51You know, I understand this.
28:52Conan also is an expert at martial arts.
28:55So you really have to pack your lunch and bring a plan when you get in the ring with this man.
29:00Storm in trouble here.
29:02Irish whip.
29:03Devin Storm in the corner.
29:04He comes out with an elbow.
29:05Conan hits the dirt.
29:08I like how these guys are wrestling.
29:09This is what I like to see.
29:11Mayhem and malice, baby.
29:13These guys are going at each other.
29:15No holds barred.
29:16They're going to beat on each other like yesterday's stepchildren.
29:21Now where's he going?
29:22Conan over the top rope.
29:23I'll tell you what.
29:24You never know with these guys.
29:25We're having a lot of fun here.
29:26Hey, you know what?
29:27We had some fun last Monday night.
29:28And on our WCW hotline, we joked about the reasons for a power outage at WCW experience.
29:32We didn't mean to seriously suggest that anyone from the WWF had anything to do with the blackout.
29:37And regret if anyone understood our comments in that way.
29:40And right now, you've got serious action going on inside of the ring.
29:44And I'll tell you what.
29:45This kind of match scares me.
29:46I mean, it's like a car crash.
29:48You just don't know who's going to get hurt, how badly they're going to get hurt.
29:53Well, you saw Flair come out on the stretcher already.
29:55At least we got one backstage.
29:57If one of these guys would happen to break something in their body.
30:01We're just having a little bit of fun here in WCW.
30:04People taking this stuff way too serious.
30:06Back leg round kick.
30:07Two back leg round kicks by Dangerous Devin Storm.
30:10Dangerous Devin Storm is up.
30:11He is setting up.
30:12But what is he?
30:14Oh, gosh.
30:16He was setting up.
30:18Oh, man.
30:19I don't know.
30:20Somebody get him to a doctor.
30:22It's going to take three surgeons and a Swiss watchmaker
30:25to put this guy back together.
30:27We call it Nitro.
30:28And he got bombed from the top rope.
30:30He was setting up for a Frankensteiner.
30:32He got nothing but blasted.
30:35The big one coming up.
30:37Hulk Hogan.
30:38Arn Anderson.
30:40The Horsemen are in the building.
30:42Hogan is hot.
30:44Savage is here.
30:45And we're coming your way with the hottest show each
30:48and every Monday night.
30:50Right after this.
30:51Time out.
30:54And here we go.
30:56You talk about tough.
30:58You're talking about the enforcer.
31:00You're talking about really tough.
31:02You're talking about Hulk Hogan.
31:05And this one, Heenan, is going to be good.
31:07Well, you want to talk about really, really, really tough?
31:10Then let's talk about the four horsemen.
31:12Because they're in the building.
31:14Woman is in the building.
31:15Elizabeth is here.
31:17Three of them are, anyway.
31:18And it is hot here in Tampa.
31:20Well, I'll give you that.
31:22Arn Anderson's got some moxie, baby.
31:24Because he stepped into that threat match
31:26and took over for that wide infillman.
31:28But let me tell you one thing.
31:30You think Macho's possessed?
31:32Hulk Hogan has been ruined, baby.
31:34He's not the world champion anymore.
31:36He's a man on a mission.
31:38And if you were fortunate enough to tune in to that bout last night
31:42and to see him laying waste to every member of the Dungeon and the Doom
31:47with that chair like the Grim Reaper whacking wheat,
31:50you got to see a man on a mission.
31:53Yeah, but he's been up all night walking the floors with Savage
31:56while they've been crying their eyes out,
31:58feeding him coffee, trying to pat him on the back,
32:00giving him some good messages, giving him a friendly handshake.
32:04It's not going to work.
32:06They're divided right now.
32:08Hulkamania's on his way out.
32:10No, Hulkamania's on his way in.
32:13Here's the music. Here's the man.
32:15Here is WCW.
32:17He's going to make his way out here.
32:19I can't wait for this match-up.
32:21I cannot wait for this match.
32:23He's still got that bad headlight.
32:25This guy is lit.
32:27He's got the patch on him.
32:29If you know anything about Arn Anderson in the full open, baby,
32:32what do you think Arn's going to go for first?
32:35That big python on his arm or that bad eye?
32:38An eye for an eye.
32:40Keep an eye out for him, Hogan. You're going to need it.
32:43This crowd is going nuts for Hulk Hogan.
32:48They are on their feet.
32:50They are going ballistic,
32:52and this man is ready and loaded for a bear,
32:57or in this case, horse.
33:01Well, him and Macho have felt the heels in the WCW,
33:05and I'm not just talking about the wrestlers,
33:07if you know what I mean.
33:09You know, if George Simon was smart,
33:11he'd get rid of that big payroll, get rid of all the Yankees,
33:13and just have the horsemen.
33:15They could win a pennant. They could win the World Series.
33:17George Steinbrenner, just another one of the great celebrities
33:20that have been a part of WCW.
33:22I mean, let's talk about it.
33:24Jim Belushi, Mike Finca, Charles Barkley,
33:27Shaquille O'Neal, George Foreman.
33:29Rodman.
33:31Dennis Rodman.
33:33All coming out to be a part of WCW.
33:36And Nitro, the hottest show each and every Monday night.
33:40More people watching WCW than any other wrestling program.
33:44We want to thank each and every one of you for joining us.
33:46WCW is committed to bringing you the very best action we can
33:51each and every week.
33:54And Hulk Hogan is committed to teaching Arn Anderson a lesson.
33:59I wonder how many Arn Andersons he sees in there.
34:01One, two, three, or none.
34:03Yeah, he told me he's got double vision, but it didn't matter.
34:06He's got one arm for each guy.
34:08Hammerlock. Go behind Hammerlock by Arn Anderson.
34:10Anderson with a forearm to the back of the head.
34:12Hogan in trouble here, and it gets done.
34:14Arn Anderson taking Hulk Hogan into the corner.
34:16Hogan puts on those brakes.
34:19And that's uncharacteristic of Anderson right there.
34:23You don't try to match muscle for muscle with Hulk Hogan.
34:27But I'll tell you, this Anderson is just one tough character.
34:30He could have played in the NFL for 20 years without a helmet or pads
34:34and would have enjoyed it.
34:37Hogan getting a little piece of Arn Anderson.
34:40Anderson in the corner going nowhere, getting his bell rung.
34:44Irish whip and then reverse by Arn Anderson.
34:46Anderson getting Hogan into the corner.
34:48Running clothesline. Hogan in trouble.
34:50No, no, no.
34:51Wake up call.
34:52You got a woman outside of the ring watching on.
34:56Running clothesline.
34:57Two of them.
34:59And now it's Anderson looking up at the lights.
35:01Well, I think it's apparent to everybody watching
35:04that Mr. Hogan is a man on a mission.
35:06He wants that championship belt back.
35:09That's where he belongs.
35:10That is his future.
35:12The Enforcer in trouble here as he is face down in the middle of the ring.
35:16Right to the back by Hulk Hogan.
35:18And this is Hogan teaching Anderson a lesson.
35:21Well, it's only going to be a matter of time
35:23till Arn starts going for that patched eye.
35:25And then what is Hogan going to do?
35:27Cut himself a big guide dog?
35:29Stick with a white end on it?
35:30What's he going to do?
35:31He's going to be in real trouble.
35:32Because you know Arn Anderson is going to go for that eye.
35:36Well, make no mistake about it.
35:38This indeed probably the biggest match in Arn Anderson's career.
35:42He is in there with a man who is already a part of wrestling history.
35:48A man who is at the pinnacle in this sport.
35:53And a man who right now is looking to hurt Arn Anderson.
35:57Look at this. Look at this.
35:59Whoa.
36:01Man alive.
36:03I thought he was going to take him underneath the rail.
36:05But a shot.
36:06He catapulted him right into that.
36:09There goes the patch.
36:11There goes the patch.
36:12He's taking it off himself.
36:13There's a man feeling no pain right there.
36:16He doesn't care about anything but vengeance.
36:19But that's very stupid of him to do that.
36:22Because you know how dirty a ring mat can get from people walking on it.
36:24He gets infection in that eye.
36:27Anderson, take advantage of the situation you're in right now.
36:31What is that?
36:32He's getting comfortable.
36:33Make the man get the squirrel fight.
36:35Make the man blow his cool.
36:36That's what you do.
36:37Take advantage of Hulk Hogan ripping your arm off and showing it to you.
36:41And bouncing your skull off a ring post.
36:44Yeah, he's in a real good situation here.
36:45Well, can't they control Hogan?
36:46Can't the officials here do anything?
36:48Man just runs wild.
36:49Pounds people's heads off the post, off the floor.
36:51Bites people, rips at people.
36:53But no, he's got a bad eye.
36:55He's got carte blanche.
36:56He can do what he wants.
36:57I'm sick of Hogan.
36:59Well, he's already been suspended once for a little bit, baby.
37:02I don't think he cares too much about the rules or the officials.
37:06You just better stay out of his way, and he's going to take care of business.
37:11He's been that way his whole life, his whole career.
37:13He's always made his own rules, and everybody's backed off.
37:16Everybody's been scared to say no to Hulk Hogan.
37:18Well, not the four horsemen, and not Ric Flair, and not the macho man.
37:22Well, it is a shame he's been a pox on your managing career
37:26your whole life, hadn't he?
37:28That's what you're mad about.
37:29Well, there's a lot of reasons, a lot of personal things I can't go into, Mongo.
37:32I just don't like the man.
37:33I never will.
37:35And Hulk Hogan catches the boot.
37:37Hulk Hogan is going to drag Arn Anderson.
37:40He's looking for a time out here.
37:43Yeah, you're going to get some time out.
37:44You're going to get some time out to heal after this match is over.
37:49There you go.
37:50Side suplex.
37:51Oh, yes.
37:52Nice side suplex there by Hulk Hogan.
37:54George Steinbrenner looking on.
37:56He knows he's not going for the pin, though.
38:00Rocio across the top of the chest.
38:03He is systematically taking Arn Anderson apart,
38:07unlike anybody I have seen in the WCW.
38:10I've never seen Arn Anderson taken on the chin like this.
38:13There he is.
38:14Big smile on his face.
38:16George Steinbrenner looking on.
38:18You know, George Steinbrenner, Hulk Hogan, good friends.
38:22And right now, Arn Anderson,
38:24wishing a few of his good friends were here at ringside
38:28because he's in serious trouble at the hands of Hulk Hogan.
38:32Well, you know the Horsemen are watching from someplace.
38:34Yeah, where, though?
38:35Well, there's someplace because when one Horseman wrestles,
38:37the rest are there.
38:38They're watching.
38:39They're protecting their investment.
38:40Big clothesline.
38:41Man.
38:43That'll rattle your teeth.
38:45Anderson went horizontal in midair,
38:48and he takes a big right hand.
38:50Now, this is a mistake.
38:51Hogan could be making a mistake here,
38:52because I tell you what,
38:53you go toe-to-toe without Anderson,
38:55this guy can fight.
38:57They don't call him the enforcer for nothing.
38:59This guy can fight.
39:01And he could be playing past him.
39:02You never know about Arn Anderson.
39:03He could be suckering Hogan in, which is easy to do.
39:06Well, see, that's how far gone Hogan is.
39:08He had him on the mat.
39:09He could have dropped a leg on him.
39:11This match would have been over.
39:12But, no, he wants to inflict punishment.
39:15And I think he got a little punishment
39:17inflicted on himself there.
39:18That elbow was right in the eye.
39:20Well, you're right about that.
39:21I don't think Hulk Hogan is savage.
39:22Anybody cares about winning matches anymore.
39:24This thing has become personal now.
39:26That's the problem with taking the patch off.
39:28And, Bobby, you pointed out, you know, infection is one thing,
39:31but you can bet right now.
39:32Oh!
39:33Hogan is sweating.
39:35That salt gets in the eye,
39:36and it's going to make it even harder for him to see.
39:38Hogan has got to be careful.
39:40If he underestimates Arn Anderson,
39:42he could be making a serious mistake here.
39:44Arn Anderson is one rugged, one smart,
39:48one veteran that can take it to Hogan
39:51if Hogan is not careful.
39:52And now it's Hulk Hogan under-receiving him.
39:54And he's going after the eye right now.
39:56I knew it just a matter of time.
39:57He let Hogan sweat.
39:59Get a good sweat going.
40:00Hulk had run into his eyes.
40:02What's the crowd reacting to?
40:03Oh, come on!
40:05Miss Elizabeth and Ric Flair,
40:07the 13-time World Heavyweight Champion.
40:10Did you ever think you'd see her
40:11in the arm of the Nature Boy?
40:14No, I never did.
40:15And next week, the Nature Boy Ric Flair
40:17has got to defend that title
40:19against the Macho Man Randy Savage.
40:20But right now, Ric Flair is living large
40:23while Hulk Hogan is getting pummeled
40:26at the hands and the boots of Arn Anderson.
40:28Arn Anderson, Ric Flair, Elizabeth woman.
40:31We got enough heels at ringside
40:33to start a shoot coming in.
40:34Let me tell you something about Elizabeth.
40:37She's taken Macho Man's money.
40:39She's taken the furniture.
40:41She's taken the house.
40:42And you know what she's done now?
40:44She has taken his desire to go on.
40:47She's taken his life,
40:48and that's the championship of the world.
40:50Cover, one, two!
40:52Oh, man!
40:53And Arn Anderson just about the Spine Buster
40:57and got a two-count out of it.
40:58Arn Anderson just about had
41:01the biggest night in his wrestling career,
41:06and he is going after Hulk Hogan.
41:09Now, this is where Hulk Hogan excels.
41:11He flies on the energy of the human eye.
41:13He gets himself going.
41:14He paces himself,
41:15and he is wide open right now.
41:18Hogan going after Arn Anderson,
41:20and I do believe this is it for Double A,
41:23and it is.
41:24It is.
41:25Go ahead and put him down, Hulkster.
41:27The fat lady just started singing in the background.
41:30She's just humming, baby.
41:32She's just humming.
41:33She's not singing yet.
41:34Oh, yeah, I love it.
41:36I love it.
41:37Well, why won't he give him the leg drop
41:39and put him out?
41:40See?
41:41Oh, no, I'll tell you why.
41:42He's antagonizing Flair.
41:44Is he setting him up for-
41:46Oh, no!
41:47He's gonna put the figure four on him.
41:48Wow, right in front of the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
41:51His signature move.
41:52He's beating one of the horsemen
41:55with a figure four.
41:56He's revving it in.
41:57Here we go.
41:58Get out of there, Flair.
41:59Oh!
42:00Look at this!
42:01He's got him both!
42:02He's got him both, Hogan!
42:03He's got him both!
42:04No, no, no!
42:05He takes care of the Dungeon of Doom.
42:07Now he's taking care of the four horsemen, baby.
42:09This is gonna backfire on Hulk Hogan.
42:11I guarantee you that.
42:13What's the horsewoman doing over here?
42:15What did she get in her hands?
42:16Is that rat poison or something?
42:17What is that?
42:18What is that?
42:19Get her out of there, Hogan!
42:21With that bad eye.
42:22Hogan's got that bad eye.
42:23Stay away from her!
42:24Get away from her!
42:25Stay away from her!
42:26Talk about infection with that bad eye.
42:28Watch this.
42:29It's...
42:30Oh, no!
42:31He's blind.
42:32Oh, no.
42:33He's blind.
42:34He ain't gonna be able to see nothing.
42:35Oh, wait a minute!
42:36A high-heeled shoe from Miss Elizabeth to Arn Anderson.
42:41It's her boot!
42:42Look at that big high heel.
42:44Oh!
42:45Hogan is down!
42:46No, no, no, no!
42:47One, two, three!
42:48I don't believe it!
42:49Yes, yes, yes!
42:50I don't believe it!
42:52Arn Anderson has defeated Hulk Hogan!
42:58Elizabeth has gone too far now.
43:00One thing is macho, but to do it to the Hulkster, I don't...
43:04This is just...
43:05This is outrageous.
43:06Arn Anderson defeating Hulk Hogan.
43:13And Hogan is up!
43:14Wait a minute.
43:15Wait a minute.
43:16Hogan is up!
43:17Turn around, gentlemen.
43:19I don't think he cares that he lost the match, boys.
43:23Here we go!
43:26Oh, yeah!
43:28Hogan is loose.
43:30We need more horsemen in there.
43:33We need some people from the Dungeon of Doom.
43:35Somebody's got to stop Hogan and stop him right now.
43:39Arn Anderson!
43:40Now, look at that!
43:41We got to look at him.
43:44And there's your boy, Ric Flair.
43:46He is down.
43:47That's it, boys.
43:48Clean house.
43:49Clean up.
43:50Savage will spot...
43:51He'll spot Flair in a minute.
43:52Here he is.
43:53He's going right after him right now.
43:56I mean, it is all breaking loose here.
43:58That's it, Macho.
43:59Get Flair up in that ring
44:00and soften him up a little bit for next week.
44:02You got the match signed.
44:04You got it signed.
44:05Soften him up, baby.
44:06No, no, no.
44:09And Flair sustaining an injury from last night.
44:12Savage is a dangerous man.
44:14He needs to be controlled.
44:15He needs to be stopped.
44:17Well, I'll tell you what.
44:18They have cleared the ring.
44:20Hulk Hogan, whatever that means,
44:23Hulk Hogan, whatever that substance was
44:27thrown in his eyes,
44:28but nevertheless, Arn Anderson...
44:31What? Oh, no.
44:32Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
44:33God!
44:41Oh, you're on the tunnel way, baby.
44:43Hello!
44:44Hello!
44:45Hello!
44:47Hogan!
44:48You just got your ass kicked again!
44:52You like it, Savage?
44:54We got the belts.
44:56We got the girls.
44:58We got Hogan on the run.
45:00We got the wrestling world where we want it.
45:04Right, Double A?
45:05You know, Rick, there's no reason for you to leave.
45:07No. Sit down.
45:08The sky's not falling.
45:10No, it's not the end of time.
45:13Yes, Arn Anderson just beat
45:17the great, unbeatable Hulk Hogan.
45:22I've done it once.
45:23I can do it again.
45:25Uh-oh.
45:26Girls, girls.
45:29No, no, no.
45:31You've got one chance.
45:32No.
45:36Come on, Flair.
45:37Come on, Arn Anderson.
45:39Come on, get back here.
45:41Get him out of here.
45:42Get him out of here.
45:44You've got one chance.
45:46Flair, Anderson, get back here.
45:49Get out of here, Anderson and Flair.
45:55I don't think I have the ability to do that.
45:57But what happened there, Randy Savage,
45:59with your rematch next Monday night right here,
46:02I'll tell you, things are spilling over.
46:04Stop the music.
46:06Wait a minute.
46:07Did you hear what they said, brother?
46:09Arn Anderson, brother, live by the sword,
46:12die by the sword after you beat Ric Flair, brother,
46:16and get your WCW title back.
46:19Arn Anderson, I accept, brother.
46:22Let's get it on back in the ring.
46:24Whatever I have to do, an eye for an eye
46:26and a boot for a boot.
46:28We accept the challenge next Monday night.
46:32Oh, yeah.
46:34I got one thing to say to you, nature boy,
46:38next Monday night,
46:40pilter, skelter, yeah.
46:44I wouldn't doubt for a minute that we've seen
46:46a little bit of that in the last couple of weeks
46:48here at World Championship Wrestling.
46:50Hulk Hogan, you're gonna be on hand next Monday.
46:52Well, you know, you talk about paying alimony.
46:54You're talking about taking half, baby doll.
46:57As far as I'm concerned, Liz,
46:59you made the wrong choice in Pee Wee Herman,
47:03alias Mr. Ric Flair, brother.
47:05Macho man, he's got your XXXX.
47:10So I say, tear him apart at the seams,
47:12get that bread back, get the alimony,
47:15get the cars in track,
47:17and I'm gonna be the new enforcer here
47:19around the WCW.
47:21Yes, Orton Anderson, I accept macho.
47:24Next Monday night, we take the enforcer
47:27and the nature boy and his entourage to school, yeah.
47:33The bottom line is,
47:34pilter, skelter, as Mongo is my witness,
47:39no more Mr. Nice Guy around Nitro.
47:43No more Mr. Nice Guy.
47:46Good night, everybody.
