00:00Living without a credit card by Lexus.
00:31What's she doing? What's she saying to you both?
00:33Philbin can't, he's, Philbin is unconscious. He can't defend himself.
00:37He's calling the stake.
00:38The referee's going to call it. The referee's going to call it.
00:42He's calling the stake.
00:45Ladies and gentlemen, referee Nick Patrick has declared the match over.
00:50We'll call a slam break and I continue. The winner is Ric Flair.
00:54Whoa.
00:56Larry Wendell.
00:57Larry Tobisco.
01:00Sid Vicious.
01:05This is terrible. This kid was so much fight, so much heart.
01:10His big buddy, the giant 7'7", came out.
01:24Hi, everybody. Welcome to WCW Pro Chicago.
01:38Tony Schiavone at ringside along with Larry Zabisco.
01:41And on the program this week, we're going to take a look at the situation between Ron Simmons and Hacksaw Butch Reed.
01:46Later on in the show, Tony, on Larry Z's Legend, I'm going to have Teddy Long out and I'm going to have Butch Reed out.
01:53And we're going to talk about why the whole world is buzzing over the demise of Doom.
01:59Personally, I think it is a real ungrateful Ron Simmons that is at the root of this whole problem.
02:07Fans, as you know, the Steiners are the new world tag team champions.
02:11That means they no longer hold the U.S. tag team belt.
02:14World Championship Wrestling, in the weeks to come, will make a special announcement about those U.S. tag team belts,
02:19either a tournament or they'll just pit the top two teams against each other for those U.S. tag team belts.
02:24And later on in the program, I'll look at the return of a Russian nightmare, Nikita Kola, to World Championship Wrestling.
02:31Right now, though, let's go to the ring with action on The Pro this week.
02:35From Venice Beach, California, at 250 pounds, this is Doom.
02:45In the ring, his opponent, from Denver, Colorado, Tom Sawyer.
02:51All right, we begin our hour here on The Pro on Channel 9 with The Stinger.
02:59And we had a chance earlier on to hear some comments from The Stinger. Let's listen in.
03:05Well, Nature Boy, every time I hop in the ring with you, I got to try and make sure it's just a one-on-one game between us.
03:12I got to try and get special stipulations, so I did just that.
03:15You and me in a big, giant cage, and I understand we got some special referee.
03:20I can't wait for the referee, and I can't wait for the cage.
03:25Sting watched Slayer in the cage for the world title, and what a match that would be, Larry Zbysko.
03:30Oh, there's no doubt about it. I'm going to be there watching.
03:33I don't believe that this man ran across and jumped on Sting's back.
03:40Sting and Sawyer having some words now, and we understand there will be a special referee for that match.
03:47Sting caught him.
03:49A little chess game going on there, and Sawyer lost. Checkmate.
03:55Now Sting, sent him into the ropes, clotheslines him down.
03:59We'll have some information on who the special referee will be between Sting and Slayer in the cage for the WCW world title.
04:08Sting calls out to him.
04:10I think Sting's got some time to play with, because his opponent doesn't look like he's ready to leave right away.
04:18Going up.
04:20Great execution on a vertical suplex.
04:26Sting might have the crowd behind him, Tony, but that's not what it takes to win matches.
04:31Especially against a man like Ric Flair, Sting is going to have his reputation on the line.
04:36Left hand now.
04:38Sawyer getting his blows in.
04:39Fans, April 28th, we're going to be coming back right here to the UIC Bavaria with a great card.
04:43Look at that! Body drop!
04:46Boy, he snapped him around that time, almost did a 360 with it.
04:50Tremendous athletic ability, the man from Venice Beach, California.
04:54Who has taken WCW by storm the last couple of years.
05:02He certainly did come a long way in a short time, Tony, which is great in one way.
05:06But now the rest of this man's career, he's going to have to spend his time proving that he was not lucky, that it was skill.
05:15There it is, the Stinger Splash, the prelude for the one and only Scorpion Deathlock!
05:22He's got it hooked in right there, he's got it locked in.
05:25And that's all she wrote.
05:29Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the match, Sting!
05:33He wants Ric Flair to cage for the world title, and he's going to get it.
05:38I tell you, if he catches Flair like this, he just might wind up two-time heavyweight champion of the world, Tony.
05:46Larry, you're right, if he can get the Scorpion Deathlock on, that's all it is.
05:51Your winner is Sting, and we'll be back with Ron Simmons right after this.
05:58World championship wrestling is involved right now in what we call turmoil, chaos.
06:04A lot of people said the Steiners were the greatest team in the world.
06:08They've now proved it.
06:10Now you've got to remember one thing, Steiners, you're the champions.
06:13Everybody's coming for you.
06:16There's a lot of constantly changing things.
06:19The one constant is, however, is Arn Anderson.
06:23I'm the world television champion.
06:25Always have been for as long as I can remember.
06:28A lot of newfound interest in the world television title.
06:31You see, when you're the world television champion, you get to show each and every week that you're the best wrestler to appear on television.
06:40I want everybody that professes to be somebody in this sport to come get a piece of me.
06:47Because I'll prove each and every week that by beating the best, I deserve to be the world television champion for as long as I want.
06:57♪♪♪
07:09Weighing in at 283 pounds, from the great state of Georgia, Rod Simmons!
07:18In the ring, his opponent, from Cheyenne, Wyoming, Mike Thorne!
07:25Rod Simmons, Mike Thorne, one-on-one, here on WCW Pro Chicago.
07:30Fans, don't forget, on the 28th of April, back in Chicago, the UIC Pavilion,
07:34Rod Simmons, as aggressive and as awesome as ever.
07:38And of course, we all know about the Split of Doom now.
07:41The former world tag team champions, and Rod Simmons hasn't lost a step. Look at him.
07:46I tell you, Tony, Rod Simmons looks like a brick, I can't say it on TV, type of thing.
07:51He is an exceptional athlete.
07:54He's just like Butch Reed and Teddy Long over here.
07:58Talking about Butch Reed and Teddy Long as he explodes right onto the side of the head.
08:04The tremendous collegiate athlete, who has really made a great transition to the pro ranks.
08:10Uh-oh.
08:12And the catapult on the bottom rope on Mike Thorne.
08:16That's stretching the rule bit of book there, Tony.
08:19You know what, Larry, this is one of the things that's always made Rod Simmons an exceptional athlete.
08:23He has been able to have those high-impact maneuvers, stretch the rules just enough to get the advantage.
08:29Well, I know he can wrestle a lot better than he's doing, he's just really beating the man.
08:33I don't know, I mean, you think there's a little animosity inside of Mr. Simmons?
08:38But what happened to Rod Simmons?
08:41I don't know what happened to him, but he seems to be, like, a little ungrateful, maybe.
08:45Well, you're talking about what happened at WrestleWorld.
08:47Of course I'm talking about WrestleWorld.
08:50Well documented, the Freebirds became world tag team champions.
08:54A tremendous fight ensued between the members of Doom.
08:57Doom, the team of Butch Reed and Rod Simmons, no longer a team.
09:03They have certainly gone their ways, and Rod Simmons, in singles competition right now,
09:08is just literally eating up the competition.
09:12And now he's up top. Could be the old sidewalk slam.
09:15He's stalking the man like a hawk.
09:17Thorne getting up!
09:19Wow, he caught him right in the chin.
09:24And gets the three count.
09:26The winner of the match, Rod Simmons!
09:29Rod Simmons gets the win, and now, from behind!
09:32Well, that's Butch Reed, and just right up behind with Teddy Long.
09:35And now Teddy Long in there, stomping Rod Simmons!
09:39In the face!
09:40And right on the shoulder, and look at this!
09:43And look, the referee!
09:44Oh my goodness! Fans are standing!
09:47Helpless Rod Simmons caught from the blind side!
09:53And power slam down!
09:57Teddy Long calling the shots!
10:00Headbreaker!
10:01Oh, he's out.
10:02Well, the referee looks out of it too, along with Rod Simmons.
10:06Somebody's gotta stop this.
10:08What's Teddy Long saying?
10:10I don't know, apparently a pile driver here!
10:13Oh no!
10:15Oh my goodness!
10:21Continues his assault!
10:22He's got Rod Simmons hurt, and he's not letting up, Tony!
10:25Teddy Long is instigating him on!
10:28He's not letting up, you're right, now he stomps him!
10:31Continues to stomp on the head!
10:33Some officials from World Championship Wrestling trying to come in!
10:37He's like a madman!
10:38Well, he's gonna need more than Nick Patrick and the other guy to get Butch Reed out of there,
10:41unless they threaten with a fine.
10:43Finally!
10:45Oh no, he's gonna keep stomping him!
10:48An incredible turn of events here and there, you see Rod Simmons,
10:51who picked up another tremendous win,
10:53and when his back was turned,
10:55it was Butch Reed!
10:57Yeah, but don't make it sound like Butch Reed and Teddy Long are upset.
11:01Yeah, there's a lot more to this as of the WrestleMore.
11:04Alright, fans, more!
11:05We are sick and tired of Rod Simmons!
11:09Everybody...
11:11The Stun!
11:13From Detroit, Michigan, weighing in the combined weight of 549 pounds,
11:18they're the United States and the brand new World Tag Team Champions,
11:22Rick and Scott Steiner, the Steiner Brothers!
11:27Entering the public system in Sino-California, Brian Todd,
11:31and from New York City, Lou Liviano!
11:35Well, they have more gold near the Steiners than most,
11:39and they are the World Tag Team Champions.
11:41We'll address the situation of the U.S. Tag Team title,
11:43but first, here's the word from our new World Tag Team Champions
11:47we recorded earlier on, the Steiners.
11:49For one year, me and my brother trained hard.
11:52One year, we waited for a title match.
11:55Freebirds, he dares that title match,
11:57and now we're the new World Champions,
11:59and we're gonna stay World Champions.
12:01We're back!
12:02We're back!
12:03Anybody who wants to take us on, just come out and meet my belt.
12:06We're not responsible.
12:08Larry, ready to take on anybody as the World Tag Team Champions.
12:11They have those U.S. Tag Team belts,
12:13but we do understand that in the coming weeks,
12:16an announcement from World Championship Wrestling,
12:18because those U.S. Tag Team belts cannot be held by the Steiners
12:21now that they're the World Tag Team Champions.
12:23Well, that's gonna lead to an interesting situation.
12:25Man, I hate to talk with this kid's wrestling. He's good.
12:28Oh, he is tremendous.
12:29You know, I interviewed these guys last week,
12:31and Larry Z's legends, not exactly a couple of smart bombs,
12:35but I'm telling you, as far as wrestlers and powerhouses,
12:40they are good.
12:42World Championship Wrestling will have either a tournament, we understand,
12:45or we'll decide who the top teams are, the top two teams,
12:48that go after the U.S. Tag Team title in the weeks to come,
12:51and we'll keep abreast on that situation.
12:53Lou Fabiano is in right now,
12:55and Scottie Steiner just going right back to the arm of Fabiano
12:58and sending him to the neutral corner.
13:01Here they are, the brother combination.
13:03And you know, look at that, belly-to-belly suplex.
13:07Down through the years of World Championship Wrestling, Larry,
13:10brother combinations have been very successful as Tag Team Champions.
13:14Well, let me tell you why,
13:16because I've noticed that through my 15 glorious years, Pony,
13:18is because brothers are basically that.
13:21They have been raised their whole lifetimes together,
13:24and they know each other,
13:26which boils down to the teamwork aspect.
13:29They know what each other is thinking,
13:32and that is Tag Team Wrestling.
13:36Rick Steiner, the dog-faced gremlin, with a right hand on top of the head.
13:39Boy, what an explosive situation we had earlier on.
13:42But I'll remind you, as Steiner goes right to the chin,
13:46we saw what Hacksaw Butch Reed did to Rod Simmons.
13:49Larry Z's legends coming up next,
13:51we'll talk to Hacksaw Butch Reed and Teddy Long,
13:54and we'll be geared for that one.
13:56What is Steiner doing? Picking a man's teeth?
13:58Well, he's playing with him, is what he's doing.
14:00He is so talented.
14:02You know, you talk about he is not a...
14:04He's not a full-deck player, that's for sure.
14:06Well, not a full-deck player, that's for sure,
14:08but he certainly is multi-talented in the ring.
14:10Well, he's lucky that he is as tough as he is,
14:12or he'd be cut away with that stuff.
14:14But again, they are that tough.
14:17Drop kick from Scottie Steiner,
14:19and a snap in with a key now to their success.
14:22It's not the tremendous offensive moves or the power,
14:25they have all of that.
14:26It's the tremendous teamwork.
14:28What is he doing?
14:30Larry, I think he's pulling his chest hairs,
14:33if I can be so descriptive.
14:35He's a goofy guy.
14:38You don't know what he's going to do next.
14:41Oh, yeah, come on.
14:44And pulling the chairs, the hairs on his face.
14:47This guy's got to be like wrestling a human pillow pad.
14:50Oh, wow, our fans in Chicago.
14:52Chicago's one of the hottest cities for world championship wrestling,
14:55and especially for the Steiners.
14:57Yeah, Chicago wouldn't do too bad to take these two Steiners
15:00and put them on the bears.
15:01They might have a chance of winning this year,
15:03because these are two tough-looking individuals.
15:06Rick Steiner up top.
15:08You never know what's going to happen with Rick Steiner.
15:11They got Brank.
15:12I have no idea what they're going to do here.
15:14Brank fires up.
15:16With a form of the powerbomb.
15:18What is he doing?
15:20I don't know.
15:21He's waving at his brother right now.
15:23He's waiting for the tag.
15:26Working in their own time zone right there, gang.
15:29Brank Carr is up.
15:32It appears to be off of the top.
15:34Oh, no.
15:36Whoa, underbelly.
15:40I know a plastic surgeon in L.A.
15:42I'll give this guy the number.
15:44He's laughing about it.
15:47Here are your winners,
15:48the United States and World Tag Team Champions,
15:51the Steiner Brothers.
15:56Hi, Larry.
15:57Well, like I said earlier,
15:58the Steiners are really lucky that they're tough individuals
16:01to get away with stuff like this.
16:05What a nut.
16:07Right here, though, this is brutal, Tony.
16:09Look at the way he hooked that head,
16:11and the weight comes down.
16:13That is something that the officials should consider
16:16banning from the books.
16:18It's a tremendous double-team move.
16:20It's a tremendous team.
16:22They are the tag team champions of the world after all covers.
16:28I guess wrestling will always have its share of hated wrestlers,
16:31people the public just can't stand, that they just despise.
16:34They want to see them beaten every time out.
16:36Fellas like Ric Flair or Stan Hansen or Dan Spivey,
16:39but I guess the most intimidating, the meanest,
16:42the most arnriest, the most vicious,
16:44the most frightening fellow we have today is Sid Vicious.
16:48Here's a guy 6'9", 330 pounds.
16:52That one maneuver of his, the power bomb,
16:55you know, the one that puts opponents in the hospital,
16:57makes them be carried off on a stretcher,
17:00either a stretcher or a hospital gurney or something like that.
17:03Now, he's received a lot of stiff warnings
17:05from various officials at world championship bouts,
17:08but he still continues to do things just that way.
17:12No wonder they hate him.
17:14But one of these days, with luck, we'll all be around,
17:17you and I, when he's carried out on his own stretcher.
17:21That'll be someday.
17:23This is Jack Brickhouse with another Brickhouse Bonus.
17:39This is week two of Larry Z's Legends.
17:42I just want to tell you something.
17:44I fly planes for a hobby, and my friends tell me I'm nuts.
17:47It's dangerous.
17:48But it's not as dangerous as getting in the ring
17:51with this man, Mr. Butch Reed, along with Kenny Long.
17:55This is Doom!
17:57Doom!
18:19Hey, keep it down!
18:21You know something, Butch?
18:23I know what you feel like, as I know what these people think.
18:26But as far as I'm concerned, I personally believe
18:28that the demise of Doom is the result
18:31of a very ungrateful Ron Simmons.
18:34What do you think?
18:36There's something about Ron Simmons.
18:38You see, that knucklehead Phil Hand,
18:41when he lost his place,
18:44he got out of his place.
18:47And see, Butch Reed knows how to put
18:50a sucker like him back in place.
18:53Because Ron Simmons, Mr. All-World,
18:56brother of state, could never beat Butch Reed.
19:00Boy, you forgot that you were being led
19:04by the best, Kenny Long and Butch Reed.
19:08You stepped out of line.
19:10We're through with you.
19:11Oh, we got some knuckles for you, but no.
19:15Brother man, brother man, brother man.
19:18Now let me say one thing to Ron Simmons.
19:20You notice I didn't say so, brother.
19:22Ron Simmons couldn't stand success.
19:24Ron Simmons couldn't stand limousines,
19:26condominiums, and the rich lifestyle.
19:30So Ron Simmons, you are costing me money.
19:33Now I heard one thing about you, Ron Simmons.
19:36Anytime you cost the Godfather money,
19:38then you're going to get a whooping.
19:40So Ron Simmons, you're out here talking about Doom is dead.
19:42Well, Doom is alive and well.
19:45And I don't need you, Ron Simmons,
19:47to help me get the world.
19:49Do you agree?
19:52All of a sudden,
19:56I guess Larry Z's Legends of Ripley is over now
19:59because look at him.
20:01Ron Simmons out of the dressing room area.
20:06And we got a piercing sprawl.
20:11Toe to toe, the officials win.
20:14They can't hold him back.
20:16Wrestlers filling the ring now.
20:23None of the wrestlers can hold these two back.
20:25They're really going at it.
20:31Toe to toe still.
20:33And now, the officials trying to get between
20:37Simmons and Reed.
20:40Fans, we'll be back.
20:42Don't you dare go away.

22:28Wrestling fans, the following contest is set for one fall.
22:31Introducing first in the ring,
22:32representing the State Patrol,
22:34Sergeant Buddy Lee Barker
22:36and Lieutenant James O'Rye.
22:42Their opponents are from Wyoming.
22:44Weighing in at a combined weight of 489 pounds,
22:48the Young Pistols.
22:55The Young Pistols and the State Patrol
22:56in our feature matchup this week on the Pro on Channel 9.
23:01As we said earlier,
23:02those U.S. Tag Team belts will be up for grabs very soon
23:05and a team that wants to get those U.S. Tag Team belts,
23:09the State Patrol.
23:10We hear from Sarge and Lieutenant right now.
23:14The State Patrol is going to start writing tickets
23:16to anybody who gets in our way.
23:18We're going to have some respect around here.
23:20We're coming after those U.S. titles.
23:22Hit them, Sarge.
23:23That's right.
23:24What we have here is a complete lack of respectful allowance.
23:27We're not going to just write tickets.
23:29We're going to throw the fuck at everybody.
23:31We're coming after them U.S. titles.
23:33That's right.
23:36State Patrol and the Young Pistols set to go.
23:39Tracy is in right now with the Pistols
23:41against Lieutenant Wright.
23:43Tell you what,
23:44we've been seeing a lot of great things from the State Patrol,
23:47but these Young Pistols in their debut last week
23:49here on the Pro look sensational.
23:51They did, Tony.
23:52The only thing,
23:53I don't know about the name Tracy.
23:55It sounds like a girl.
23:57Well, what do you want to name him then, Larry?
23:59I don't care what his name is.
24:01I would name my son Tracy.
24:04They are right with the fans.
24:06You can feel it here in the arena.
24:09Side headlock,
24:10and Lieutenant Wright with a good go behind
24:12for a hammerlock.
24:14And the Lieutenant.
24:15Well, quick reversal by Tracy to the arm bar.
24:18Looks like the Sarge is upset.
24:22I think that's the Lieutenant,
24:24but who really cares?
24:25I can't tell.
24:29The Young Pistols,
24:30one of those great tag teams
24:31who we understand will be vying
24:33to put their name in the hat, so to speak,
24:35as the old cliche goes,
24:37to become the U.S. Tag Team Champions.
24:39Over the top.
24:40It was gone.
24:42From behind.
24:43Boy, you talk about emotion.
24:45He was one step ahead.
24:49Sergeant Parker with a couple of elbows.
24:51And now the State Patrol.
24:53They're going to write the tickets
24:55to themselves right now.
24:56I tell you, Tracy's lucky he ducked that one clothesline,
24:59because Sergeant Parker or whatever
25:01would have tooken his head off with that.
25:05Now the State Patrol has to regroup right now.
25:11And the collar and elbow tie-up.
25:13Tremendous program this week here on the Probe.
25:15I want to remind you fans once again,
25:17as Sergeant Parker misses,
25:20right down to the mats.
25:24Arm dragged out.
25:25And we'll be back at the UIC in the month of April.
25:29April 28th.
25:30April 28th.
25:31And of course, as always,
25:33Jack Brickhouse here with us each and every week.
25:35Right here on Channel 9, Larry.
25:37Don't say it.
25:38I see you looking at me.
25:39He looks better every week.
25:41A roll-up.
25:42And a two-count.
25:43And Steve is in right now for the...
25:46for the pistols.
25:51A warning from Nick Patrick.
25:53As Sergeant Parker had complained
25:55of Steve pulling the tights,
25:57and that was not the case.
25:58You know, it's good the referee
25:59stays on these young pistols,
26:01because, you know, being a fan favorite,
26:02they tend to get away with a lot more.
26:04I've noticed that.
26:05Referees are always biased
26:06towards the opinion of the crowd.
26:08Everybody's after those brownie points.
26:11That sounds like sour grapes to me, Larry.
26:13Here's a pick-up.
26:14Atomic drop!
26:15And out goes the lieutenant on the outside.
26:17He caught him sneaking in.
26:18He walked into that one.
26:22Missed it.
26:23Boy, they are really misdirected here.
26:25The quickness of the young pistols
26:27really coming through.
26:29And that time, Steve had turned
26:31to make a tag, and he paid for it.
26:34All four men are in the ring
26:36in opposite corners,
26:37as you can clearly see.
26:39Now what's going to happen?
26:40Hooking the arms!
26:41Oh, they don't see Donum!
26:45Tremendous!
26:47Boy, this has been a real
26:48back-and-forth type of chess match here.
26:51The pistols looking good again.
26:54And the State Patrol,
26:55one tremendous double-team close line,
26:58apparently did not faze
26:59the young pistols at all.
27:02Once again, the regroup.
27:03Watch here on the outside!
27:04Watch it!
27:08If you turn your head for a second,
27:10that happens.
27:11Yeah, I think that's about
27:12one point apiece now for each team.
27:14Every time the other team, you know,
27:15looked the other way,
27:16Bing, they were right there.
27:18That's right.
27:19So the...
27:20Well, you can't do that, obviously, but...
27:23The one team, as you said, Larry,
27:24looking one way,
27:25has cost both teams in this match.
27:28So I'm marking off even Stephen so far.
27:30I still think, though,
27:31that the pistols had the upper hand here,
27:33although it's...
27:34I don't think they had the upper hand.
27:35Right now they don't,
27:36but I think overall...
27:38Overall what?
27:39But, heck, we could argue
27:40that point all night.
27:42Tom Brishlock coming here.
27:46Who's going to get the advantage?
27:47It's Steve now.
27:48Right to a side headlock.
27:50Standing side headlock.
27:51Use those wrestling moves.
27:52Don't try to outpower a man
27:54that, number one, is short
27:55and he has the leverage,
27:56and, number two, is stocky
27:58and a real strong guy.
27:59Use that science.
28:01Good teamwork.
28:02Tremendous teamwork
28:03with a misdirection right there.
28:05Oh, the referee,
28:06now making the two count.
28:08Almost had a three.
28:10Almost!
28:11That was very close.
28:12Real close.
28:13The closest count we've had
28:14so far in the match.
28:16But was there a tag?
28:17That's the question.
28:18There's the tag.
28:19Well, there's the tag now.
28:21Many people think
28:22that Sergeant Parker
28:23should be in already.
28:24It's a mute point now
28:25because he is in
28:26and a two count.
28:27Steve powers out of it.
28:30U.S. Tag Team title.
28:31To be the U.S. Tag Team Champions
28:33means that you're
28:34the number one contender
28:35to the world title.
28:37Clothesline.
28:40And Lieutenant Wright
28:41just stomping away.
28:42Now they're really changing
28:43up their strategy here
28:44a little bit.
28:45Well, what they've got to do
28:46is slow this match down.
28:47They don't want to compete
28:48against the speed
28:49and the agility
28:50of the young pistols.
28:51Boom.
28:52Let's keep this man
28:53in the ring.
28:54Soften him up.
28:55Wear him down.
28:56Hurt him.
28:57Get that pain flowing.
28:58A two count.
28:59And Steve's out
29:00one more time.
29:01Tremendous matchup.
29:02Great competition
29:03here on the pro.
29:04Tag in.
29:05Tag out.
29:06And that may
29:07be the deciding factor
29:08in this match.
29:09The team that can keep
29:10the freshman in
29:11can keep the teamwork going.
29:12Maybe the team
29:13that wins it here.
29:14That was a battering ram
29:15that time.
29:16And took him
29:17by the hair,
29:18face down.
29:19Good teamwork
29:20by the patrol.
29:21And the triple whammy
29:22hooked the leg.
29:23And kicked out.
29:25Steve comes right back.
29:26He won't stay down.
29:27And you're right.
29:29As you called it, Larry,
29:30the triple whammy
29:31working to perfection
29:32on the pistols here.
29:34Again, they're going
29:35for another team effort here.
29:37Look at that.
29:38Double backbreaker again.
29:40Like a double power bomb
29:41that time.
29:44The state patrol
29:46that time.
29:47Lieutenant Wright
29:48a little slow getting out.
29:49Way up close to his partner.
29:50They're getting real close.
29:51The patrol has got to
29:52keep this man in the ring now.
29:55Young pistols
29:56fighting back.
29:57They've got to.
29:58Steve is fighting back.
29:59Right hand of the head.
30:01And again at the top
30:02of the head.
30:03Parker is dazed.
30:07And he goes over
30:08and nails Tracy.
30:09And that's going to
30:10not help matters
30:11for the pistols at all.
30:12No, it's not.
30:14Double team here.
30:16Into the neutral corner.
30:17Steve in a lot of trouble.
30:19And Nick Patrick
30:20chases the odd man out.
30:23Right to the foot.
30:24Steve measured him
30:25and was waiting on him.
30:27But he needs to make a tag.
30:29The patrol better run over
30:30and tag.
30:32They don't want this man
30:33to get out of the ring.
30:35Lieutenant Wright's
30:36not so sure
30:37of his whereabouts.
30:38But Steve is.
30:39And he makes a tag.
30:40He makes a tag.
30:41Tracy's in.
30:43The young pistols
30:45right now with Tracy
30:47all rested and ready to go.
30:51That was the elbow.
30:53And now Sergeant Parker in.
30:55A flying elbow on him.
30:56Tracy's trying.
30:57He's got him hooked now.
30:59He's got both men in.
31:00He can't contend with that
31:01for too long, Larry, at all.
31:02No.
31:03Both members of the State Patrol,
31:04they've stayed in
31:05for too long here.
31:06Nick Patrick trying
31:07to get him out.
31:08Watch out.
31:10Steve sends one man out.
31:11Now, who's the legal man?
31:12This man keeps flying
31:13off the top rope.
31:14I don't know.
31:15Which one's the legal man?
31:16It's Tracy.
31:17Double team.
31:18Shoulder block.
31:19A cover.
31:20We got it.
31:21Was that the legal man?
31:22Yes.
31:23The winners of the match,
31:24the young pistols.
31:27More like the young
31:28gunslingers right here.
31:30Well, they were
31:31shooting them down.
31:32And I tell you what,
31:33they really earned this one.
31:35I tell you, it was
31:36back and forth
31:37with the whole match.
31:38The team on either part
31:39of the goal is very good
31:40for the teamwork
31:41of the young pistols
31:42paid off in the end,
31:43Cody.
31:45He hooks that leg,
31:46pull it up,
31:47pull it up,
31:48there you go.
31:51All right,
31:52the young pistols
31:53secure a win
31:54as we sit at the top
31:55of the program.

33:21Fans, as you go back in the record books in World Championship Wrestling,
33:23one of the most dominant men in the U.S. title scene has been the Russian Nightmare, Nikita Kola.
33:28He is now back on the scene in World Championship Wrestling
33:31and made his presence known recently during WrestleWar
33:35as he attacked the U.S. champion, Lex Luger.
33:38We're gonna go back and take a look at the attack from Nikita Kola
33:41and then take a look at the interview that I conducted at WrestleWar with the Russian Nightmare,
33:46and then we'll hear comments from the U.S. champion, Lex Luger, himself.
33:49But right now, let's take a look at this.
33:52All right, a very special ceremony, and we are here with Grizzly Smith,
33:55representative of World Championship Wrestling,
33:57and, of course, former U.S. heavyweight champion, Nikita Kola.
34:01And we are going to present right now to Lex Luger $20,000 gold U.S. heavyweight title belt.
34:09Here's Lex Luger. Congratulations for a great win.
34:12And to make the presentation right now, the former champion, Nikita Kola.
34:16Lex Luger, I just want to say that it was a pleasure watching that match.
34:21I congratulate you on a great victory.
34:24I've got something here for you, Lex, sir.
34:27I know you've been waiting for this.
34:29I take a lot of pride and a great pleasure in giving this to you.
34:37Oh! Good grief! What's he doing?
34:40What is that? Nikita, what's he thinking here?
34:44He hit Leonard right in the face with that new belt.
34:47Why? We're crying out loud. Why in the world would you do that?
34:51Why? You ask me why?
34:54I'll tell you why. For two years, I sit in my gym in North Carolina
35:00and I watch these titles change hands back and forth.
35:04And I said to myself, I said, Nikita, there is one title you have not had around your waist.
35:11Well, you know what, Tony Schiavone, I talked to the championship committee
35:16and you know what they said to me?
35:18They said, Nikita, they said, you have been retired for two years.
35:22You have to prove to us, prove to us that you need a match against the world champion.
35:29Prove to us. Prove to you. I'll prove something to you.
35:34You know what I have to prove to you?
35:36There's the proof right there.
35:38Lex Luger, what better way than to prove that to Lex Luger,
35:43the man who stole the U.S. title from me four years ago.
35:50So you know what? You know what?
35:53Shut your mouth, Tony. You know what?
35:56You shut your mouth. You shut your mouth.
36:00Hey, Lex Luger, I'm going to take, I'm going to take the belt back where it belongs to Nikita Koloff.
36:11You come out of a championship match, you walk up on stage, you expect one thing, you get another.
36:19Nikita Koloff, we embraced in friendship.
36:22And what did I get? Well, I got the message, Nikita.
36:25If that's what you wanted to give me, if you think you're so tough, if you think you're so bad,
36:31well, you come and get what you say is yours and what you want to take back.
36:35That's the U.S. title because this time there'll be no surprises.
36:38This time I'm ready for you, Nikita Koloff.
36:43From Odessa, Florida, weighing in at 312 pounds, Dangerous Dan Spivey.
36:53In the ring, his opponent, from Knoxville, Tennessee, Larry Zinto.
37:04You ever heard the old term, the lights are on but nobody's home?
37:07You look at those eyes and you would think that's the case, but that is not the case
37:11because there's a lot in there with that guy.
37:14When I saw him, it came with jeepers, creepers, where'd you get those peepers came into my mind.
37:18Dangerous Dan Spivey, but first of all, let's talk about what we have just seen,
37:22the Russian Nightmare, Nikita Koloff.
37:24Many people feel he was one of the greatest U.S. champions of all time in world championship wrestling
37:29and I think Lex Luger knows about him first hand now.
37:31Oh yeah, well, hey, Nikita Koloff is a tough, tough individual and the way the Russian economy is,
37:36you can bet that Koloff will do whatever he can in America to cash in that cash for Rubles.
37:42Clothesline, a pickup, and Dangerous Dan Spivey looking better than ever.
37:48Stomping right to the top of the head.
37:50Spivey's got one of those looks that you can look in someone's face, Tony,
37:53and tell if they care or if they don't care.
37:56Dan Spivey does not care. Sort of like a Stan Hansen type of individual.
38:01And those types, Larry, have been very successful more times than not in world championship wrestling.
38:08Because they don't care.
38:10Because they don't care.
38:12A kick on the outside and Dangerous Dan is going to follow his man onto the floor.
38:17Watch out! Slams him down.
38:22Spivey having some words with our fans on ringside.
38:28You know, really, in terms of the fans, they have to sit in their seats.
38:31To show their ignorance on television is not the place.
38:36Watch out now. Pickup here.
38:38Back suplex. Nicely done.
38:41I'm sure many fans, especially our tremendous fans that we have right here in Chicago,
38:45do not appreciate those comments, but that hasn't stopped you before.
38:49Hey, I don't care what they say. I've got money.
38:53Pickup. Side suplex.
38:55That could be it.
38:58Here is your winner, Dangerous Dan Spivey!
39:02A maniacal look for Dangerous Dan Spivey as he levels another opponent right here on WCW Pro.
39:08This is our Nintendo Power Play, Larry. It's all yours.
39:11Well, thank you very much. There's not much to say about it except Dan Spivey made short work of this man.
39:16Boom! Right here. That takes care of your win.
39:21Very impressive man. Very impressive man.
39:24And just like Nintendo, Dangerous Dan's playing with power.
39:28Nintendo, now you're playing with power. Back with more after this.
39:35It's the natural of Dustin Rhodes with some exciting news.
39:38A lot of exciting things happening at World Championship Wrestling.
39:41First of all, we got new World Tag Team Champions, the Stannard Brothers.
39:45And I mean to tell you, and I don't even have to tell you,
39:48because you know that the Stannard Brothers are bad.
39:51And secondly, there's a lot of mix-up what's going on between the split-up of Doom.
39:56Now, Butch Reed, Teddy Long, if I was you, you better watch out
40:00because Ron Simmons is on a mad rampage right now.
40:02He's going to get you. He's not going to stop at anything until he's done.
40:06Now, once again, I just want to thank everybody for your 110% support.
40:10Every week I come out here and I got great victories.
40:13And I plan to do one thing, and that's to take care of business.
40:16I'm here, I'm back in World Championship Wrestling to take care of business,
40:20alive and in color and polish, if you will.
40:24And baby Dustin Rhodes has got a lot on his mind and a lot of things to take care of.
40:29So everybody watch out for the natural Dustin Rhodes.

41:45Today's program is brought to you by Nintendo.
41:48Now, you're playing with power.
41:51You know, Sting, there's one thing about you that really confuses me.
41:57You're a lot like Arsenio Hall.
42:00You have a problem waking up every day
42:04knowing who the world's heavyweight wrestling champion is.
42:10There's only one.
42:12When the music plays,
42:14the fireworks go off,
42:16the curtain opens up,
42:18there's only one that stands there above all the rest.
42:24Not Evander Holyfield,
42:26but Rick.
42:28Ha ha! Woo!
42:31Flair, your world's heavyweight champion.
42:36And now you have made the boast,
42:40you have stepped forward,
42:43and you have told promoters at PBS,
42:48you've told promoters nationwide
42:52that you want to wrestle me in the steel cage.
42:59You also have said that you want a big, impartial referee.
43:07Well, that adds up to three things.
43:10Rick Flair in the cage,
43:12Rick Flair against Sting,
43:15and Rick Flair in the cage against Sting
43:19with the possibility of the Giant as a referee.
43:24Add it up!
43:25It means, once again,
43:28I walk that aisle
43:32knowing that I'm the best.
43:34You got that, RCDO?
43:36Me, Rick Flair,
43:38the one and only world's heavyweight champion, Sting.
43:43Learn to love it, pal,

44:06In the ring, never!
44:12Well, you know, I like to think that
44:15all of our contests are going to be a contest,
44:18but I can tell you right now,
44:20Excuse me, I'm going to reach in my wallet here
44:22and get 10 bucks out betting on Vicious.
44:24Calling Dr. Geek 1 and Dr. Geek 2,
44:27because I don't think this one's going to last long.
44:29Vicious, two things here.
44:31The tremendous advantage he has in size,
44:34that's number one,
44:36and number two,
44:38the fact that he is the hottest commodity
44:40in world championship wrestling right now.
44:43Look at this.
44:45That's playing with power, Tony.
44:48I guess it is.
44:49This is what you call manhandling somebody.
44:54You can see this one coming
44:55all the way up the Chattahoochee River.
45:01Vicious, living up to his name.
45:06Why does he end this match right now?
45:08The question is, who can stop Sid Vicious?
45:11Obviously, the man in the blue tights
45:12can't stop Sid Vicious,
45:14but I have no sympathy whatsoever.
45:16I have no sympathy whatsoever.
45:18If you're not tough,
45:19you don't step in that wrestling ring.
45:21You're right.
45:22We saw a very tough gutsy individual last week
45:26who jumped right in the face of Sid Vicious,
45:28something that no one has done in a long time.
45:31That was Flying Brian just last week
45:33right here on The Probe.
45:34I tell you, it caught us off guard
45:36because Flying Brian also had a shoulder brace on.
45:39The man was hurt,
45:40so either he's stupid or he's got a lot of guts.
45:43I love this.
45:44What is he going to do?
45:45I thought it was.
45:46It may be the helicopter spin.
45:50That's like falling off the Sears Tower, brother.
45:54I think...
45:58Well, thank goodness.
45:59Go, Sid!
46:00I think falling off the Sears Tower
46:03would be merciful compared to this,
46:05and especially the Powerbomb.
46:07They know it all over the world,
46:09from coast to coast.
46:10That's because they can feel the vibrations in the earth.
46:14Oh, he's awesome.
46:15He's too much.
46:16Your winner of the match, Sid Vicious!
46:22They're going to need more than a gurney this time.
46:24They're going to need a couple of boxes.
46:30Here they come.
46:31Watch out!
46:32And he came from the audience!
46:34He came from the crowd!
46:35I don't know where he came from!
46:37Flying Brian!
46:40Kai O'Brien!
46:43Flying Brian is serious business!
46:46Oh, come on!
46:49One of the most courageous, gutsy young men we've ever seen.
46:53And Sid Vicious, look at this!
46:55He throws the gurney in the ring!
46:58Flying Brian wants him now!
47:04And the referees get in between them.
47:06You know, I was speechless.
47:07I went right in.
47:08The gurney's in there.
47:09Boy, Timber's got a lot of guts, Tony.
47:11Oh, he is incredibly courageous.
47:15Timber's continuing to flare.
47:17He's taunting the man in!
47:20And we've got to go!
47:22Don't you dare go away next week!
47:24We'll see you next week here on Channel 9!
47:27Remember something, Brian.
47:29Next time, it'll be five pounds.
