00:00:00We are live, and we are all over the world.
00:00:27We are coming to you from the Disney MGM Studios in Orlando, Florida.
00:00:32Welcome to Without a Doubt, the hottest two hours in television,
00:00:37each and every Monday, WCW Monday Nitro, and only on TNT.
00:00:42And hi, once again, everyone, along with the living legend, Larry Zbysko.
00:00:46I'm Tony Schiamati, your host, for
00:00:48the very first hour of this exciting two-hour television program.
00:00:53Ladies and gentlemen, we are one day removed from one of the most shocking,
00:00:58one of the most startling,
00:00:59one of the most disappointing disheartening events in the history of our sport.
00:01:03Last night at Bash at the Beach, we found out who the third man was.
00:01:08We were all stunned.
00:01:10It was disbelief, Larry, and I can tell you right now,
00:01:13later on in this television program, in the second hour,
00:01:17words cannot describe what happened last night, but the pictures will.
00:01:21We will show you exactly what Hulk Hogan did to World Championship Wrestling and
00:01:26all the fans worldwide, Larry.
00:01:28You know, there was one adjective you left out.
00:01:30It was the word disgusting.
00:01:32I'm disgusted.
00:01:33It was an act of total unmanliness that I'm not even gonna waste my time
00:01:39commenting on right now.
00:01:40Well, we'll be talking about it during the course of the program.
00:01:43And remember, in the second hour,
00:01:44the pictures will tell the story of what Hulk Hogan did last night.
00:01:49We began the program last night in great fashion, as we had Ray Mysterio Jr.
00:01:55Let's take a look at some of the sites going up against Psychosis.
00:01:59It was one of the most thrilling matches we'd ever seen on pay-per-view television.
00:02:03High flying, acrobatic moves on the top rope, but Ray Mysterio was the winner.
00:02:07And then later on in the telecast,
00:02:09the disco inferno had it all going his way, seemingly,
00:02:12as he met the Cruiserweight Champion, Dean Malenko.
00:02:16The Iceman came in with an attitude and
00:02:19retained the Cruiserweight Championship over the Disco Inferno.
00:02:23And tonight, because of that, it will be Ray Mysterio Jr.
00:02:27kicking off our telecast against Dean Malenko for the Cruiserweight title,
00:02:31as we go to the ring for two hours here live on Nitro and David Fincher.
00:02:35Ladies and gentlemen, the first match live on Monday Nitro from Disney MGM Studios is
00:02:41for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship, set for one fall.
00:02:45Introducing first, the challenger from Tijuana, Mexico, Ray Mysterio Jr.
00:02:52Ray Mysterio Jr.
00:02:57Fans, last night, WCW's Bash at the Beach was certainly an electrifying event.
00:03:03This young man right here, Ray Mysterio,
00:03:06moves we have never seen before in this sport against Psychosis.
00:03:10He is certainly a man who is revolutionizing our sport as we know it.
00:03:14Well, he's revolutionizing it in the way of speed.
00:03:17This man, extremely fast on his feet.
00:03:21One of the fastest wrestlers I've ever seen in my life.
00:03:24He's gonna need that speed, Tony.
00:03:25Dean Malenko proved it again last night at Bash at the Beach.
00:03:29He is a man of a thousand holds.
00:03:31If he catches Ray Mysterio Jr., he can hook him.
00:03:33His opponent from Tampa, Florida, the WCW Cruiserweight Champion.
00:03:38He's the man of a thousand holds, Dean Malenko.
00:03:43Dean Malenko, the Iceman, and I said that the Disco Inferno turned it up as you
00:03:47take a look at our crowd on hand here at the Disney MGM Studios as we come to you live.
00:03:52And certainly, the Iceman and Ray Mysterio, no stranger at all.
00:03:56Ladies and gentlemen, we will show you in the second hour of this telecast.
00:04:00We want you to call everyone you know.
00:04:03If you're a wrestling fan, if you're not a wrestling fan,
00:04:06if you know people who know the name of Hulk Hogan, they know him legendary,
00:04:09not only in wrestling, but throughout the entertainment world.
00:04:12You tell your friends, family members to tune in, second hour of this television program.
00:04:18And as we said, show you the pictures of one of the most incredible,
00:04:22bizarre set of circumstances.
00:04:24Unmanly.
00:04:25Turn of events in the history, the most bizarre,
00:04:29unmanly turn of events in the history of our sport.
00:04:31All right, it's Ray Mysterio trying to go behind Dean Malenko.
00:04:34Mysterio, the high flyer.
00:04:36Malenko, the mat wrestler.
00:04:38Already we got a lateral press and we got a one count.
00:04:40Malenko on top here, Larry.
00:04:41Well, Malenko's going to stay on top as long as Mysterio Jr. isn't moving.
00:04:46And right now, Malenko's throwing him away, but I wouldn't do that.
00:04:49He ran into one.
00:04:50Up on top, down goes Dean Malenko, Ray Mysterio on the attack again.
00:04:56Here he goes, trying a hip toss.
00:04:59Over the top, arm drag takedown once again.
00:05:02And Malenko takes the low road here.
00:05:03Yeah, Malenko went out, but whoa, where's he going?
00:05:06Ladies and gentlemen, the circumstances surrounding last night
00:05:11by no means overshadow the fact, and we didn't mention at the top,
00:05:16we need to mention it now, the Nature Boy, Ric Flair,
00:05:19is the new United States heavyweight champion.
00:05:21In this telecast, second hour, we will have the Nature Boy, Ric Flair,
00:05:26and Jim Powers for the US heavyweight title.
00:05:29Sting is here against Arne Anderson in our second hour.
00:05:32You know Sting's got a lot on his mind, as well as the Macho Man.
00:05:36Over the top here, he caught him in midair.
00:05:38And Lex Luger, up on top, Mysterio sliding down the back.
00:05:45And Malenko missed with a punch that time.
00:05:47Malenko's gotta be frustrating, great wrestler, but he can't catch this guy.
00:05:50Nice drop kick off the second rope.
00:05:53Mysterio Jr. utilizing his speed greatly right there.
00:05:57He is phenomenal.
00:05:58Here's a lateral press and a one and a two.
00:06:00We almost had a new cruiserweight champion.
00:06:03I don't count Malenko out that fast.
00:06:04On the mat, this guy's at home.
00:06:07He threw him off.
00:06:11Got a two count that time.
00:06:14Two count, if Malenko can slow him down now, I think he'll be easy pickings.
00:06:18But he, boy, it's hard to wrestle a man when you can't grab him.
00:06:21Sends him in, it's a backbreaker.
00:06:24He grabbed him.
00:06:26Ladies and gentlemen, also in this telecast,
00:06:29we will have a match between the Steiners and the Nasty Boys.
00:06:32The winner will get a shot at the World Tag Team Champs Harlem Heat.
00:06:37Coming up at our next big pay-per-view event from Sturgis, South Dakota.
00:06:41Hogwild on Saturday, the 10th of August.
00:06:45And in this telecast, we'll tell you.
00:06:47Here's a lateral press, one, two.
00:06:49If you miss Bash at the Beach, how you can see it tomorrow.
00:06:54The encore presentation on pay-per-view.
00:06:57Malenko right there, nice reverse surfboard hold here on Mysterio.
00:07:01Malenko's gonna try to do anything he can to slow this kid down.
00:07:04We had to step out for a break.
00:07:06We'll be back, and we're live from Disney MGM this week on Nitro.
00:07:10Stay with us.
00:07:11We are back live from the Disney MGM Studios.
00:07:23Hour one of two hours of WCW Monday Nitro.
00:07:26Dean Malenko, Ray Mysterio Jr.
00:07:28Really cutting it up here for the Cruiserweight Championship of the World.
00:07:31My goodness.
00:07:34So far, Dean Malenko's way ahead on points.
00:07:37Did a great job in slowing down Ray Mysterio Jr.
00:07:41Right there, I think Malenko just takes his time right now.
00:07:44It's a matter of minutes.
00:07:45He'll beat this guy.
00:07:47Of course, fans, we are one day removed from the most disgusting night in
00:07:50the history of our sport.
00:07:51Here's a one and a two.
00:07:53If you missed Bash at the Beach last night.
00:07:56Ladies and gentlemen, the encore presentation available on pay-per-view
00:07:59tomorrow.
00:08:01We encourage you, if you want to see it again, or if you missed it for
00:08:04some reason, to call your local cable operator.
00:08:07It is tomorrow night, the encore presentation of WCW's Bash at the Beach.
00:08:12And yes, ladies and gentlemen, in the second hour, let everybody you know,
00:08:17call them right now, because we will show you the sights,
00:08:20the pictures of what you said is unmanly.
00:08:24The most unmanly act of unmanliness I've seen in over 20 glorious years.
00:08:29And you know, in the time that I have done this telecast,
00:08:32in the times that I've worked on WCW Saturday Night,
00:08:34I never thought I'd see anything like that.
00:08:36I, here's a roll up, one, two.
00:08:40Whoa.
00:08:42Never thought I would see anything like that, but
00:08:44I guess I've really seen it all now.
00:08:45And I really want to take a second to apologize to some of the fans for
00:08:49some of the comments I made last night.
00:08:51They were really out of line, but
00:08:53sometime when you get emotional, things like that happen.
00:08:55Yeah, well, the FCC's got a letter coming out to you, by the way.
00:08:59Those things happen, Larry, and I can't apologize for my emotions.
00:09:03Well, I don't think Milenko's gonna be apologizing to Mysterious Jr. here.
00:09:07He just hung him out in the top rope.
00:09:09This kid bounced out, landed right here on the mat, getting up real slow.
00:09:14Again, this isn't beat the clock, this is beat the punk.
00:09:17Milenko just takes his time here.
00:09:19I think he's got this one sewn up.
00:09:22Milenko, the type of athlete that knows how to use the entire ring, and
00:09:25there was evidence right there, to win a match or to hurt an opponent.
00:09:29And right now, after hanging him up on the top rope,
00:09:32he is content with a reverse chin lock on Rey Mysterio Jr.
00:09:36Two men very much the same in that Milenko is the expressionalist.
00:09:40There's body scissors on right now.
00:09:42And of course, when you got the mask on, it masks and
00:09:45pokes your expression as well.
00:09:46You can't see the expression under the mask, but
00:09:49Milenko's never changes because he is 100% focused.
00:09:53He is a wrestling machine.
00:09:55And right here, he's got the leg scissors on, pulling back.
00:09:58He's got that wrist right under the nose bone of Rey Mysterio Jr.
00:10:02A lot of pain in that area of the face.
00:10:05Just keep it on.
00:10:05Again, Milenko's smart in there.
00:10:07He'll tie you up, take his time, let you make the mistake.
00:10:11And that's what he's doing.
00:10:12But right now, Mysterio's in the ropes on the far side.
00:10:17Milenko, you see the 1,000 on his trunks, dumps him outside.
00:10:21And Milenko now pretty content with going on the outside here after Mysterio.
00:10:25Well, let me tell you why.
00:10:26He doesn't wanna give Mysterio any chance to recover.
00:10:29He wants to keep this kid small and underground.
00:10:31Over the past 24 hours, a lot of things have gone through
00:10:36the minds of the personnel of World Championship Wrestling.
00:10:41A lot of things have gone through the minds of the fans of World Championship
00:10:45Wrestling, of the fans of Hulk Hogan.
00:10:47Never before in the history of our sport have we received as many telegrams,
00:10:52as many phone calls.
00:10:53Of course, we have been here in Orlando with our offices here at the Disney MGM
00:10:57studio, but never before have we fielded so many calls.
00:11:01Total disbelief.
00:11:02Well, the world's in shock again.
00:11:04I mean, the degree of unmanliness was just ridiculous.
00:11:09A scoop and a slam, showing his power advantage here.
00:11:12One, two, and a two count that time.
00:11:18Mysterio really showing a lot of perseverance here, Larry.
00:11:20Well, right, Mysterio Jr., I mean, the guy's got heart.
00:11:23He's a fighter.
00:11:24He doesn't wanna keep, he fell on top of the mic.
00:11:26One, two, and a, come on.
00:11:29Got a two count.
00:11:31Sending Mysterio in, this tremendous athlete from Mexico.
00:11:37Trying to victory roll him over the top.
00:11:39Maliko tries to hold on.
00:11:40Is that a disqualification or not?
00:11:41Apparently not.
00:11:42Mysterio.
00:11:45My goodness.
00:11:46I think he went that nail, Maliko, but he was off a bit, Maliko.
00:11:50He's not moving either.
00:11:51He fell down hard, but Mysterio Jr.,
00:11:55he landed right smack on his front on that cement.
00:11:58I think that's actually asphalt.
00:12:00No, that is cement.
00:12:01I guess it doesn't matter.
00:12:03Feels like cement.
00:12:04I guess it doesn't matter, but he's not moving.
00:12:05It doesn't matter.
00:12:06It didn't happen to me.
00:12:08Boy, he's trying to shake it off, but
00:12:10what concerns me about Mysterio is the legs.
00:12:13They are his foot, and he kicks him.
00:12:15He's back into it.
00:12:16This youngster is something else.
00:12:18Bad break for Maliko here.
00:12:20Wait a minute, he's up on top.
00:12:22Incredible break instead of the top one, two.
00:12:28And he kicked out into, my goodness.
00:12:33Maliko's face still doesn't change expression.
00:12:35He's still thinking.
00:12:37Too close to the ropes right there.
00:12:39Here's the top rope of the springboard and a one and a two.
00:12:42Again, Maliko showing not only is he a champion, he's a man who can fight as well
00:12:48and can escape near falls time and time again, but look at the Iceman up top.
00:12:53Yeah, he headbutted him right in the solar plex.
00:12:56He's gonna, what is he gonna do, a crucifix here from the top?
00:12:58And he's going away.
00:13:01My goodness.
00:13:02He lifted him off the top, put him down with a gut buster from the heavens.
00:13:08One, two, and no, he pulled him up.
00:13:12Don't do that after you beat the man, then pull him up.
00:13:16That may be a critical mistake and may come back to haunt the Iceman here.
00:13:19Either that or a lot of overconfidence in the mind of Maliko.
00:13:23Maybe the guy's just upset, he wants to punish this guy.
00:13:27Send him in.
00:13:29Belly to belly over the top.
00:13:31Lateral press here, Maliko, one, two, and he's gonna pull him up again.
00:13:37Boy, I don't like to see that.
00:13:40Maliko is no nonsense as he is.
00:13:43I don't see why he's doing that.
00:13:44He must have some kind of personal vendetta against this guy.
00:13:48Apparently so, he'll send Mysterio in.
00:13:51Break is standing down.
00:13:52One, two, three.
00:13:54We've got a new champion.
00:13:56We've got a new Crucibleweight champion.
00:13:58Can you believe this?
00:14:04I don't believe this.
00:14:05What a way to open it up.
00:14:06He's a champ and he earned every bit of it.
00:14:09He didn't earn it, Maliko.
00:14:10He made two big mistakes.
00:14:13Well, he earned that.
00:14:15He was- He pinned him.
00:14:16One, two, three.
00:14:18He was lucky that Maliko pulled him up.
00:14:20I didn't look at Maliko's head, Tony.
00:14:22This is our Pep Boys power pin of the week on Nitro.
00:14:27Looking right at me.
00:14:28Maliko was ahead on points, but Rey Mysterio Jr.
00:14:32hooked him up, caught him off balance.
00:14:33Look where he pulls the ankle springs, all the weight above the shoulders.
00:14:38All right, Pep Boys, America's Automotive Supercenter.
00:14:41We take you to Mean Gene.
00:14:42We are within the confines of the locker room here.
00:14:48I'm joined by the Nasty Boys along with the Steiner Brothers.
00:14:50Later on in this show tonight, they're going to be locking up the winners, by the way.
00:14:54On August the 10th, the next WCW pay-per-view, Hogwild.
00:14:59One of these teams will be meeting the Harlem Heat for the WCW tag team title.
00:15:03Scott?
00:15:04You know, Mean Gene, I can't agree with the way Harlem Heat won the belts, or
00:15:08how they beat us last week when Colonel Parkland, my brother in the head, with the cane.
00:15:15But if we had to face the Nasty Boys tonight, to see who-
00:15:18Get your finger out of his face.
00:15:19Hey, shut up, fat soles guy.
00:15:21I can't say I like the way you guys act.
00:15:24I can't say I agree with the way you guys look.
00:15:27But I do respect your wrestling ability.
00:15:29You guys have been champions before.
00:15:31So if we, tonight, we're gonna see who the better team is.
00:15:34Hey, hey, I don't care and
00:15:36Nobs don't care about your stinking problems with the Harlem Heat.
00:15:40All I care about is me and Nobs winning that match tonight.
00:15:44And who's gonna get that title shot?
00:15:46You been down Nasty Boulevard before.
00:15:49You walked it.
00:15:50You know what it's about.
00:15:51I know you can fight, and we ain't backing down.
00:15:54That ain't an interview out there.
00:15:55It's Nastyville.
00:15:57Hope you're ready, punk.
00:15:58Yeah, keep talking.
00:15:59I'm not your- I don't think it's Nastyville.
00:16:02Come down to the door, pal, and get down where it gets real nasty, boy.
00:16:06You see, my nose is to the ground.
00:16:08I smell him.
00:16:09I smell the heat.
00:16:12I'm coming after you, boys.
00:16:13The heat's on.
00:16:15I got you.
00:16:16Nasty boys, you're getting away.
00:16:18It's just, something ain't gonna be personal.
00:16:21I know, all I know is they're in for one hell of a match.
00:16:27Cuz us guys getting together, it's gonna be 4th of July all over again.
00:16:33We respect you.
00:16:35You respect us.
00:16:36That was a decision.
00:16:37No, you gotta prove it.
00:16:39These four men are gonna be meeting later on here when WCW Monday Nitro
00:16:44continues on TNT.
00:16:45Yeah.
00:16:46Our world is about to change.
00:16:51Enter the realm.
00:16:56Blood runs cold.
00:17:01And each of us burns a fury of our own.
00:17:07Blood runs cold.
00:17:14And each of us burns a fury of a warrior.
00:17:19Glacier.

00:17:48Say what, fans?
00:17:49It is a night that we will never, ever forget in the history of our sport.
00:17:54And later on in this telecast, we've tried to describe what happened.
00:18:00But obviously, pictures can tell the story.
00:18:03And later on in this second hour, here at the Disney-MGM Studios,
00:18:07pictures will tell what happened.
00:18:10Unmanly.
00:18:11Incredible.
00:18:13The last thing in the world I expected.
00:18:15All night last night, who was the third man?
00:18:19We found out.
00:18:21Wow.
00:18:22That's coming up.
00:18:24Also stinging Arne Anderson, the new United States champ Ric Flair.
00:18:29He goes against Jim Powers, a powerful man.
00:18:32He's back in the WCW, back in this sport.
00:18:35Certainly is going to get Flair a real threat.
00:18:38We already have a new Cruiserweight champion here tonight.
00:18:42And we are only in our first half hour of this two-hour live edition of Nitro TNT.
00:18:48Well, he's got some forces building up, too.
00:18:50Dungeon of Doom rebuilding their force, if you will.
00:18:55Of course, the Four Horsemen at full power now.
00:18:58Boy, are they ever.
00:19:00All right, Hugh Morris, Big Bubba along with Jimmy Hart,
00:19:03members of the Dungeon of Doom.
00:19:05And you're talking about the other sides of the spectrum.
00:19:08Hugh Morris, Big Bubba, the Dungeon of Doom against the Blue Bloods.
00:19:15And this is going to be Lord Steven Regal and Squire Dave Taylor,
00:19:20Earl Robert Eaton in tow along with Jeeves in the second matchup.
00:19:24Fans, also in this telecast, as you heard from Mean Gene,
00:19:27we will have the Steiner Brothers and the Nasty Boys.
00:19:30The winner of the match tonight will face Harlem Heat,
00:19:35the World Tag Team Champs, for the belts at Hongwild Saturday night,
00:19:40August 10th, and only on pay-per-view at the Sturgis Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota.
00:19:45Also, we will take a look at some of the sights and sounds
00:19:50of last night, including last night, what happened with Big Bubba and John Tenta.
00:19:56It was a Carson City silver dollar match.
00:19:58Big Bubba and John Tenta went to the ring, the silver dollars high upon the pole.
00:20:03And at the very end of the match, Jimmy Hart went up to get the silver dollars,
00:20:07but didn't realize that John Tenta picked off the silver dollars,
00:20:11knocked out Big Bubba, and John Tenta gets the win last night at Bash at the Beach.
00:20:17What an event that was in itself.
00:20:20It's going to be a good one here.
00:20:22Blue Bloods, great, mad technicians.
00:20:25Of course, they're going to have a hard time here with the Dungeon of Doom participants,
00:20:29Big Bubba and Hugh Morris.
00:20:32Very unorthodox in styles.
00:20:34The Blue Bloods love to wrestle.
00:20:36The Dungeon of Doom loves to brawl.
00:20:38No question about it here, Larry.
00:20:40Ladies and gentlemen, stay right where you are.
00:20:43Stay right where you are.
00:20:45You know about the encore presentation of Bash at the Beach.
00:20:48You've heard us talk about what Hulk Hogan did to the entire world,
00:20:53to the people who have supported his career.
00:20:57Well, we will show you later on the scenes from what happened.
00:21:05And here we go.
00:21:06Jimmy Jett, the referee, Hugh Morris.
00:21:08A little argument already with members of the Blue Bloods.
00:21:10They've had their problems.
00:21:11Our fans who watch WCW Pro Wrestling every Saturday morning at 9.05 in the morning on TBS.
00:21:20They know what's happening between these two.
00:21:22There's a lot of friction there with the Earl of Eden,
00:21:25apparently being originally from Alabama,
00:21:29doesn't know how to treat a butler the right proper way.
00:21:32Butlers do all the dirty work.
00:21:34They do all the dirty work.
00:21:36We have the same situation here.
00:21:37We just call them wives.
00:21:40A dropkick.
00:21:42Boy, you're getting everybody in hot water here, Larry.
00:21:45Clothesline, the powerful.
00:21:47Hugh Morris just ran a path right over Squire Dave Taylor that time.
00:21:51He's made an exchange here, Larry.
00:21:53It's easy to underestimate the movement and the explosive nature of Hugh Morris.
00:21:58Big guy, but he moves like a lightweight.
00:22:01And so does his partner, Big Bubba.
00:22:03Big guy, 6'6", 300 pounds, but he moves like Ray Mysterio Jr.
00:22:10For a big guy.
00:22:11Absolutely.
00:22:12Fans want to know about the outsiders.
00:22:14They want to know about the third man.
00:22:16This has only just begun.
00:22:19A man who said he is bigger than all of us.
00:22:22You got to see it to believe it a little bit later on.
00:22:26And we will show you in this second hour.
00:22:27Here's a double team.
00:22:28And an uppercut.
00:22:29The European uppercut from Regal.
00:22:32Big Bubba holds his position, ducks low.
00:22:35Single leg pick up.
00:22:37And a big elbow drop.
00:22:38I mean, he was on target.
00:22:39And one thing, here's lateral press.
00:22:41One, two.
00:22:42You know Regal as well as anyone, Larry.
00:22:45Regal can beat you with broad execution.
00:22:47But he ran into that one.
00:22:48One, two.
00:22:49Yeah, Dave Taylor said today, Lord Regal, he can beat you on the mat.
00:22:53I noticed the blue bloods starting off very aggressive here, almost brawling.
00:22:57That tells me that, look at that,
00:22:59they're aware of the tactics of the Dungeon of Doom.
00:23:02They're going to try to head him off with the fist.
00:23:04Dave Taylor right there.
00:23:05Nailed Hugh Morris, but left himself wide open.
00:23:08We've got a guest at ringside.
00:23:10And it's John Tintin.
00:23:11Watch out.
00:23:12Hey, get out of here.
00:23:13He is fighting Bubba here at ringside.
00:23:15The two men are brawling.
00:23:17Brawling, they're on it.
00:23:18They're fighting back there.
00:23:19We've got a cover in the ring.
00:23:20One, two, three.
00:23:23Blue bloods win.
00:23:26The blue bloods win.
00:23:28A fight continues with Big Bubba and John Tintin.
00:23:31There you see it.
00:23:33Here at the Disney MGM Studios, they are taking it out in the parking lot area.
00:23:38All the way down the entryway.
00:23:41The blue bloods get a substantial win here on Nitro.
00:23:45Well, you've got a very disappointed Jimmy Hart,
00:23:47but a very happy Lord Steven Regal and Squire Dave Taylor.
00:23:52Inside that ring of victory is a victory, Tony.
00:23:56No question about it.
00:23:57Still to come, we will take it up back to the beach.
00:24:01Show you what Hulk Hogan did to the entire world.
00:24:03Here it is again with Big Bubba and John Tintin.
00:24:05But right there, there are not even employees, but John Tintin came out,
00:24:09dragged Big Bubba.
00:24:10That made it unfair.
00:24:11That left two blue bloods to one Hugh Morris,
00:24:15and they dumped him right on the back of his head.
00:24:19Also in this telecast, Sting will be in action against Arne Anderson.
00:24:23Plus, Ric Flair defends his newly won U.S. title.
00:24:27And we'll have more WCW Monday Nitro coming up next.
00:24:31The high-flying electric psychosis makes his Nitro debut right after this.
00:24:38Wow! This WCW magazine is really cool.

00:30:54Psychosis, seeing the weakness, going after it right now, Betty Guerrero.
00:31:00Psychosis, I know, very disappointed about what happened against Rey Mysterio Jr.
00:31:07There's a version of the Pitbull's Code Red.
00:31:10That's a version of it.
00:31:11He's got it scissored.
00:31:12He's got his legs more to the side.
00:31:14Push it on the head of Guerrero, where the Code Red is more across the chest.
00:31:17Either way, though, very painful and an easy way to hyperextend that elbow.
00:31:22But again, keeping a lot of pressure on Guerrero's shoulder.
00:31:24Psychosis saw the weakness, and he's staying on it.
00:31:29One of the trademarks of the horseman.
00:31:32No question.
00:31:32You know, there's one more bit to the story here about what happened last night.
00:31:37And we will see a little bit later on.
00:31:39We are all thinking about what went through Hulk Hogan's mind.
00:31:43Ladies and gentlemen, a program note.
00:31:45In a week's time, we will hear from Hulk Hogan live next Monday
00:31:51on WCW Monday Night Show to get his side of the story.
00:31:54I mean, he's got the guts to show his face.
00:31:56I'm sure he does.
00:31:57A drop kick right on the arm.
00:32:03That is next Monday night, 8 o'clock Eastern Time.
00:32:07Hulk Hogan will be here, seeing him and hearing him as never before.
00:32:12I'm still disgusted at the Hulk, I wish he'd quit talking about it.
00:32:17And there's not really much more for us to say.
00:32:21A fight's a fight, but that was unmanly.
00:32:23And fans, we will show you later on what happened.
00:32:26Eddie Guerrero, Frankensteiner move, same way Mysterio wanted.
00:32:32And he gets a two count.
00:32:33Mysterio earlier pinned Dean Malenko to win the Cruiserweight belt right here on
00:32:38Nitro with that maneuver, but Psychosis got out of it.
00:32:41Eddie couldn't hold him down though.
00:32:42Rey Mysterio Jr. utilized his hand lock, but Guerrero's shoulder is too bad.
00:32:47He couldn't hold Psychosis down.
00:32:49And he caught him.
00:32:50And he used that over the top rope maneuver like an inverted atomic drop.
00:32:59And it got the base of the spine very hard.
00:33:03Psychosis will get another shot at Rey Mysterio on Saturday night.
00:33:06The new Cruiserweight Champion coming up.
00:33:09And he hit the pole.
00:33:11The same arm, the shoulder.
00:33:13Get him back, Psychosis.
00:33:15Guerrero in major trouble here.
00:33:17See, Guerrero's hurt and he's taking too many risks,
00:33:20too many chances to try to make, look at this.
00:33:23Guerrero's out.
00:33:26One and two and he's not out.
00:33:30He looked out.
00:33:31This is the type of competition that has made the Cruiserweight division.
00:33:35What is keeping this kid going?
00:33:37One of the most exciting in our sport.
00:33:38I don't know, but he popped up that time, didn't he?
00:33:41Jalapenos?
00:33:43I don't think so.
00:33:45Psychosis almost tumbled head first to the contract.
00:33:47Powerbombed him off, one, two.
00:33:50No, didn't go down.
00:33:52Arm didn't go down.
00:33:54Eddie Guerrero does have fight.
00:33:55I've wrestled his older brothers, Chavo and Hector and Mongo.
00:33:59They all have fight, but I think Eddie's got more heart than all of them.
00:34:02He's still got, he caught Psychosis on top.
00:34:05Once again, Eddie Guerrero, seemingly out of nowhere, pops up.
00:34:09Showing that this is determination, might have a superstar in this sport.
00:34:14With the superflex, still favoring the arm, but he's going up top.
00:34:20Eddie, and a rock splash.
00:34:22One, two, he wins.
00:34:25One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
00:34:29This was a case of heart and determination, never say die.
00:34:35A young man who will never give up, who never forgets the fans,
00:34:39never forgets his roots, where he came from.
00:34:41Eddie Guerrero is a superstar in the 90s, ladies and gentlemen.
00:34:45And you saw why moments ago.
00:34:46A lot of determination, but again, you gotta win that money.
00:34:50Eddie Guerrero doesn't score victories.
00:34:52You can wind up back south of the border, but
00:34:54look at the risk that Psychosis took here.
00:34:58Latin Guerrero, boy, heart did come into play here.
00:35:02Right here, Eddie went to hold him down.
00:35:03Couldn't keep him locked, but knocked the wind out of Psychosis there.
00:35:08And went back up on top, Tony, even with that bad shoulder.
00:35:12Still managed to fly three-quarters of the way across that ring.
00:35:17Look at this.
00:35:20Your winner, Eddie Guerrero.
00:35:21And I know, Gene Oakerlin, you were as shocked and appalled as anyone.
00:35:25You've been very close to Hulk Hogan throughout your career.
00:35:28As to what happened last night.
00:35:29With that, Gene, let's go to you.
00:35:31All right, Tony, I thank you very much.
00:35:33And indeed, I was very close with Hulk Hogan for many, many years.
00:35:36However, last night, as big a surprise to me as anybody.
00:35:40Joining me, WCW heavyweight champ, the giant,
00:35:43the taskmaster Kevin Sullivan, still shaking his head.
00:35:46Jimmy Hart, you managed this man, Hogan, for three years.
00:35:49I mean, you were in Thunder in Paradise, all of the movies.
00:35:53You were at the hospitals.
00:35:54I mean, you did everything with the guy.
00:35:55What do you make of his move last night, joining in with these outsiders?
00:36:02You know me, Gene?
00:36:04You've known me for a long time.
00:36:06This is the first time in my life that I've really been lost for words.
00:36:10And I really have no comment, Kevin.
00:36:12Seems to be a very popular phrase with politicians these days, no comment.
00:36:16I know that's not the case for you, Kevin Sullivan.
00:36:18You know, Gene, sometimes when you live for the destruction and
00:36:23demise of something, like Jimmy and I did.
00:36:27We lived for a year and a half for the demise of Hulkamania, and
00:36:32he plucked it away from us.
00:36:34He destroyed it himself.
00:36:37All the karma that I have done in my life,
00:36:41all the evil has now come back upon me.
00:36:46Every time I look in the mirror, I see Chris Benoit.
00:36:50And what I see in the mirror is a madman.
00:36:55And Gene, this New World Order, Jimmy.
00:36:59We're taking a look, by the way, at some of the footage involving that right now,
00:37:02Kevin.
00:37:03You know, Gene, it's like Kevin said,
00:37:05there's a New World Order coming, and you could be out of a job.
00:37:09Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, I'm gonna be out of a job.
00:37:12Whoa, before everybody goes and loses their composure,
00:37:17one thing you gotta remember is, as long as I have this,
00:37:21the WCW World Heavyweight Championship belt, nothing in WCW can go wrong.
00:37:28If you people remember, I'm the one that took this belt from Hulk Hogan
00:37:33last October at Halloween Havoc.
00:37:36Don't worry about what Hogan did.
00:37:38And as far as the Four Horsemen go, you call yourselves the elite.
00:37:43Last night, you look at the Taskmaster's face.
00:37:48You guys won the battle, but you didn't win the war.
00:37:51Because right now, tonight, I don't have to wrestle.
00:37:55Thank you very much, gentlemen.
00:37:57Who said I was gonna be out of work?
00:37:58Do you know anything about that?
00:38:00Stay tuned, more WCW Monday Nitro when we come back, here on TNT.
00:38:05Who said that?
00:38:06We are back and we are live on WCW Monday Night Raw.
00:38:12As you look at the Disney MGM Studio theme park, good to have you with us.
00:38:18This is our countdown segment, where we count down to hour number two,
00:38:23the hour where tonight you will witness firsthand for
00:38:27yourself the pictures that tell the story of the WCW World Heavyweight Champion,
00:38:33firsthand for yourself the pictures that tell the most devastating story
00:38:39of the history of professional wrestling, what Hulk Hogan did last night.
00:38:45Hour number two, where you will see Ric Flair wrestle the new US Champion,
00:38:49Jim Power, where you will see Sting wrestle, where you will hear Eric Lashawn
00:38:53and Bobby the Brain, Ian Hayden, talking about what they feel,
00:38:59what's going on in their mind, in the wake of WCW's Back to the Beast, Larry.
00:39:05I don't know, I'm still disgusted about it, the whole thing.
00:39:09Right here, the Steiner Brothers, Nasty Boys, big match for both these teams.
00:39:15They both want that gold, Tony, and this is the way they're gonna get it.
00:39:19The victors get a shot at the Harlem Heat, come Hog Wild.
00:39:24Hog Wild will be on pay-per-view from Sturgis, South Dakota.
00:39:29At the Sturgis Rally, there'll be Harleys everywhere, and
00:39:33there'll be WCW in full tow.
00:39:35And that's coming up on Saturday, and the Saturday night, the 10th of August.
00:39:38We'll be talking more about that in the weeks to come here.
00:39:42Did I tell you about my Harley?
00:39:43It had a 64 pinhead chrome chopper with the suicide ship.
00:39:48You?
00:39:49I kept falling off of it, so I sold it and got an airplane instead.
00:39:53Much safer to fly.
00:39:54And much more dangerous to fall off of an airplane as well.
00:39:57Okay, here we go.
00:39:58I think it's a little higher up.
00:39:58Yes, absolutely.
00:39:59We have a very important matchup as we are making our countdown to our number two.
00:40:05Our number two has set the standard for our sport on Monday nights.
00:40:10Each and every week, more people watch WCW Monday Nights Raw live than
00:40:14any other wrestling program in the history of Monday nights.
00:40:19And you're watching why, because of the action we have, be it singles,
00:40:23be it tag team, so much on the line.
00:40:26So many egos, so much pressure to perform to be your very best.
00:40:30Athletes going at it like never before here in 1996.
00:40:34But the Nasty Boys are living up to their forte, and that is,
00:40:37they get as aggressive and as nasty and tenacious as they can off the bat.
00:40:42These guys like to go 200% from the minute the bell rings.
00:40:46And that's exactly what they're doing to Scott Steiner right here.
00:40:50Double team, one, two, trying for a quick win here.
00:40:52Remember the winner gets a shot at Harlem Heat.
00:40:55But also remember the winner must contend with Colonel Parker, and
00:40:58maybe possibly now, the return of Sister Sherry.
00:41:01There has been a little bit of bad blood, personal bad blood,
00:41:04between the Steiners, Larry, and Harlem Heat and Colonel Parker.
00:41:08Last week we saw Colonel Parker with the walking stick over the head of Rick Steiner.
00:41:13Well, I think Colonel Parker just wants to make sure that the Steiners
00:41:17just stay away from the Harlem Heat, and he feels that they're a big threat.
00:41:22And, uh-oh, Scotty, these guys are suplex masters.
00:41:26Quicksand, 300 pounds, thrusts, down.
00:41:33Somebody better catch the teeth of Brian Nobbs.
00:41:36Yeah, Nobbs, he didn't see that coming, Scotty Duck.
00:41:38He didn't even see Rick Steiner there, and he ran into one.
00:41:41Again, Nasty Boys will try their best off the bat.
00:41:44They like to get the advantage quick.
00:41:46If it fails, they go outside, they regroup.
00:41:49They're not a banquet for the eyeballs.
00:41:51But the Nasty Boys are an effective tag team unit.
00:41:55Ladies and gentlemen, you may be asking yourself,
00:41:57what else can happen in this two-hour program?
00:41:59Mysterio, Rey Mysterio Jr., captures the Cruiserweight title to kick it off.
00:42:03We have seen some tremendous action.
00:42:05But still to come, Ric Flair, the US title on the line, in the second hour.
00:42:09Arne Anderson and Sting in the second hour.
00:42:12But overshadowing it all, the pictures from last night in Badge of the Beach.
00:42:17What transpired, the hostile takeover, the Outsiders, and the third man,
00:42:22Jack Bass.
00:42:23You'll see what Hulk Hogan did to everyone involved in our sport,
00:42:28involved in our career.
00:42:30Eric Bischoff, Bobby the Brain, Heenan, standing by for the second hour.
00:42:35All right, here comes the double whip.
00:42:37And I mean, they know how to use their weight, don't they?
00:42:39Yeah, well, they know how to use their weight.
00:42:41Uh-oh, Ryan Anderson.
00:42:42One, two, no, not yet.
00:42:43You know, Rick Steiner down as a sight you don't see too often.
00:42:47And this guy's a tank.
00:42:48But the Nasty Boys again with their very aggressive onslaught of tag team.
00:42:52Steiner caught him.
00:42:53Good, picked him up.
00:42:57What a pick up that was.
00:42:59Yeah, but Rick Steiner's not thinking.
00:43:00He should have made the tag.
00:43:01He nailed him.
00:43:03Gonna go for a cover.
00:43:04Remember, the most important tag match of the night right here.
00:43:08The winner to go on to Sturgis,
00:43:10Hog Wilde to go after the World Tag Team title.
00:43:13And you see the importance of this match and
00:43:16the attempt to save that time by Jerry Saggs.
00:43:18Yeah, well, this is do or die for these teams.
00:43:20If they, you know, whoever gets the title shot moves on.
00:43:22The losers, they're gonna go back to the bottom rung of that ladder.
00:43:25And they're gonna have to start from scratch and
00:43:27go through all the teams again.
00:43:28The American Man, the Blue Bloods, etc.
00:43:31This is a big match and another good suplex position.
00:43:35We are within now 45 seconds to hour number two with Eric Bischoff standing
00:43:41by with Bobby the Brain Heenan and I know Eric has a lot on his mind,
00:43:45a lot to talk about, certainly involved personally with what has happened
00:43:50over the past couple of months that started right here on Nitro.
00:43:53And certainly, later on in this second hour,
00:43:56we'll show you what happened, less than 30 seconds now to hour number two.
00:44:01The hour that has set the standard and
00:44:02we're gonna take it right in midstream here.
00:44:05Well, Saggs just nailed Scotty Steiner in midstream.
00:44:09Now he's gonna hit him with a kid.
00:44:10No, with a chair, ten second countdown.
00:44:13Wow, it was ten seconds, that's a ten second mark.
00:44:16Scotty Steiner was nailed at five, four.
00:44:19Here's the countdown.
00:44:20Get ready for hour two of Nitro.
00:44:23All right, thank you, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbysko.
00:44:30I am Eric Bischoff along with Bobby the Brain Heenan.
00:44:35And off we go, hour number two.
00:44:38We've got great tag team action going on inside of the ring.
00:44:42The Steiner Brothers and the Nasty Boy, Scott Steiner now.
00:44:47He's in trouble.
00:44:49In the ring, Irish whip all the way across the ring,
00:44:51comes up with the big boots to the side of the face.
00:44:54And now a belly-up coming.
00:44:57Scott Steiner in control, Jerry Saggs drops the elbow, Rick Steiner comes in.
00:45:00All four men into the ring, this one out of control.
00:45:03So much on the line here, the WCW World Tag Team titles up for
00:45:06grabs at Hogwild coming to you exclusively on pay-per-view August 10th.
00:45:11More on that in a few moments.
00:45:12Bobby the Brain Heenan, we've got a little over an hour to talk about
00:45:17what happened last night.
00:45:19And let's face it, the world as we know it is not going to stop, but
00:45:23it has certainly changed in a big, big way.
00:45:26Well, you're right about that, Eric.
00:45:28The face of professional wrestling has changed forever.
00:45:31This man, Hulk Hogan, made a statement that he changed the world of
00:45:33professional wrestling years ago, and he did.
00:45:35What do we got going on out here?
00:45:38That's his fried pie.
00:45:41They're always plotting something.
00:45:43Sister Sherry out there with Colonel Parker, and
00:45:46now becoming very involved in the match.
00:45:51More than just a little bit of a distraction any time Sherry gets near the ring.
00:45:56She has been known to be very physical.
00:45:58Parker just used that cane.
00:46:01And Colonel Parker, cane and all, with an assist here.
00:46:05Cover, one, two.
00:46:08I'm not sure Steiner's aware of what happened.
00:46:12That is it.
00:46:12Hogan's got the Steiner Brothers.
00:46:16Steiner Brothers, your winners.
00:46:20They will get this shot at WCW's Hog Wild exclusively on pay-per-view.
00:46:26250,000 of your favorite bikers and you only on pay-per-view live from
00:46:32Sturgis Motorcycle Rally coming up August 10th.
00:46:35And man, we have got a party.
00:46:36Look at that.
00:46:37We've got fireworks.
00:46:39Nitro looking good here from the Disney MGM Studios.
00:46:43What do you mean, 250,000 bikers and me?
00:46:47That's right, you.
00:46:48I'm gonna get my hands greasy on one of those things with the training wheels.
00:46:53Well, you know, it's such a, I hate to use the word bittersweet, but
00:46:58I mean, that's really what we've got here today.
00:46:59We've got fireworks.
00:47:00We're at Disney MGM Studios.
00:47:02I mean, this is historic in and of itself, this presentation of Nitro outside.
00:47:08But, you know, it is so overshadowed in so many ways by,
00:47:13by everything that transpired last night.
00:47:15And, you know, I, I talked to the people.
00:47:16First of all, I want to apologize.
00:47:17I was not able to do the main event last night.
00:47:19Everybody was really concerned where you were.
00:47:21Well, it was really, it's no big deal.
00:47:23We'll talk about that in just a minute.
00:47:24Let's go now to me and Gene Okerlund.
00:47:26I'll tell you one thing, Eric Bischoff.
00:47:28I did not sleep well at all last night because of what you were referring to.
00:47:32These gentlemen have got some other things to talk about.
00:47:34Jerry Sags, I'm gonna get to you in a moment.
00:47:36You took a horrible whack over the head.
00:47:38But what about this tag team situation?
00:47:40All of a sudden, life as is wrestling
00:47:47is all about attitude.
00:47:50And ours has always been nasty.
00:47:54The big man, the big man,
00:47:59along with that stinking cane,
00:48:04just sent a lightning bolt right through
00:48:09my stinking head with a big message.
00:48:13A big message that says, change is inevitable.
00:48:18We've got to change.
00:48:22Hey, street fight, put the nasty boys in there.
00:48:25You got it.
00:48:26Chain match, I almost broke my stinking neck.
00:48:29Lex Luger and Sting come down here.
00:48:31No way, they got 90 referees.
00:48:34All I'm gonna say is, it'll be a cold day in hell before the nasty boys.
00:48:40If that ever happens again.
00:48:41Ryan Knobs, don't take the microphone away from him until he's finished talking.
00:48:49Fine, he's finished talking.
00:48:51Let me tell you something, we don't condone what Hulk Hogan did.
00:48:58It was even a shock to us.
00:49:02But you know what?
00:49:04I don't see nothing wrong in what he did either.
00:49:09What are you talking about?
00:49:10You've got to be out of your mind.
00:49:12We're all in this thing together here, nasty boys.
00:49:14You're all in this thing together.
00:49:17It seems like the new world order does whatever they want,
00:49:22whatever they want to do it, just like the nasty boys used to do.
00:49:27Thank you very much, gentlemen.
00:49:28The nasty boys certainly have their cross to bear here at World Championship Wrestling.
00:49:33We're live from Orlando and Disney MGM.
00:49:36Stay tuned as Nitro continues here on TNT.
00:49:40All right, welcome back as the festivities continue here on Nitro.
00:49:58We've got fireworks outside of the ring, inside of the ring.
00:50:02And we are coming to you live, coast to coast, here on TNT.
00:50:08And the new US heavyweight champion, the Nature Boy Ric Flair,
00:50:12defending that title against Jim Powers, an athlete who
00:50:15is going to take this opportunity to make a name for himself,
00:50:19carve out his niche here in WCW if he can defeat the Nature Boy Ric Flair.
00:50:23However, that is a very difficult task, given the fact
00:50:26that the Nature Boy Ric Flair, so much experience,
00:50:31so much knowledge.
00:50:33Yeah, the fireworks for the Nature Boy.
00:50:40As I was saying, before the break, again, I want to apologize.
00:50:48I was not able to do the main event last night.
00:50:51As you can expect, the most important night in WCW history.
00:50:54A lot of the WCW executives, the executive committee,
00:50:57were meeting right up until the last minute.
00:50:59And frankly, I just, I got buried with a lot of last minute details
00:51:03that had to be taken care of.
00:51:04That's what we thought happened to you.
00:51:05That I got buried?
00:51:07Well, I'll tell you what, I feel like I've been buried.
00:51:10As I know so many people here at WCW do.
00:51:14Again, you don't want to overstate it, but the fact
00:51:18is, I called the WCW offices today to see how things were going.
00:51:22And the receptionist, Monica, told me that people
00:51:24were calling and talking about how their kids were crying up all night,
00:51:28crying and destroying their Hulk Hogan merchandise.
00:51:30And frankly, it's just too hard to explain.
00:51:35It's too hard to put into words what Hulk Hogan has meant to so many people,
00:51:39what Hulk Hogan has meant to this organization.
00:51:42And then what happened last night, I don't know.
00:51:46I mean, we're going to see the pictures later on in the broadcast.
00:51:49You'll be able to see it for yourself.
00:51:51Like I said, words can't describe it, man.
00:51:54I've been giving you my opinion on the guy for 20 years.
00:51:56And everybody thinks I'm just a fool and a buffoon and a joker.
00:52:00I'm serious.
00:52:01The guy's no good.
00:52:02Well, you and I agree on that one.
00:52:06The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, in there with all of his glory,
00:52:12and now his gold, that being the gold around his waist.
00:52:16Well, Jimmy Powers has an opportunity, a big, big opportunity,
00:52:19to make a name for himself here at WCW.
00:52:22But like you said at the beginning, this man is just too good,
00:52:25too much experience.
00:52:26He's the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
00:52:27Well, let's take a quick look here at the Nature Boy, Ric Flair,
00:52:30as he won the US title last night.
00:52:34There's Conan, a man who represents the Latin community all over the world.
00:52:38And the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
00:52:40Conan has been on a roll here at WCW.
00:52:43He's a young athlete.
00:52:44He's incredibly strong, very powerful.
00:52:46He's wrestled all over the world.
00:52:48But look at this nut.
00:52:49I mean, how do you compete with that maniac?
00:52:52And everybody's saying that woman is the one that spiked him in the eye
00:52:56with that high-heeled shoe that cost Conan the match.
00:53:00My monitor was fuzzy.
00:53:01I couldn't really tell from my vantage point.
00:53:03Yeah, there you go.
00:53:04The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, circling back into the corner, steps back.
00:53:08Jim Powers, eager to get it on here.
00:53:11But one of the things you gotta like about a guy like Jim Powers right now,
00:53:14he's a young athlete.
00:53:15He doesn't have, obviously, near the experience of a Ric Flair.
00:53:18But he's not overanxious.
00:53:19He's taking his time here.
00:53:20He's going to pick his shots.
00:53:22One, two.
00:53:23And Jim Powers has got to be very careful here.
00:53:25You have the ladies outside of the ring.
00:53:28And make no mistake about it, they're not only a distraction visually
00:53:33to most men who are watching the program right now,
00:53:36but they can be incredibly dangerous outside that ring.
00:53:39We've seen it before.
00:53:41And Jim Powers knows it.
00:53:42Well, they're incredibly dangerous is right.
00:53:44You know, a woman will do anything.
00:53:46Deborah McMichaels, she's out for the money.
00:53:48Whoa!
00:53:49Nice back body drop there by Jim Powers.
00:53:51And you're right, she'll do anything if the price is right.
00:53:53And you know, Elizabeth can match any price you give her.
00:53:56She's got all the cash, all of Savage's cash.
00:53:58Yeah, she's got Savage's money.
00:53:59We want to talk briefly.
00:54:00A lot of you fans probably had heard about it.
00:54:03Lex Luger knocked out, stretched out early in the six man.
00:54:09Actually, he started out as a five man.
00:54:10But again, the pictures will tell the words later on.
00:54:12You'll be seeing some of that later on.
00:54:15We're going to try to update you on Luger's condition
00:54:17as soon as that becomes known to us.
00:54:19And I'll tell you, it was one heck of a night.
00:54:22I've never seen a pay-per-view like that.
00:54:24Everyone at that ocean center was standing,
00:54:26from bell one to the end of the evening,
00:54:28when they all lost it.
00:54:30And now a woman outside of the ring.
00:54:32And this is exactly what we talked about earlier on.
00:54:34Jim Powers, now he knows better.
00:54:36He knows he doesn't want to be outside of the ring,
00:54:38particularly on that side of the ring,
00:54:40with woman and Deborah McMichael out there and Liz.
00:54:43But Rich Flair didn't give him a lot of choice.
00:54:45No, I don't think he had an opportunity
00:54:46to pick where he wanted to be.
00:54:48You don't do that when you're wrestling with nature,
00:54:49but you can't decide what he's going to do with you,
00:54:51when he's going to do it to you and how often.
00:54:54Again, we will be showing you pictures.
00:54:56The third man revealed.
00:54:58We will show you what happened.
00:55:00Two count here, two and a half.
00:55:01Jim Powers is coming close here, but no cigar so far.
00:55:05We will show you the pictures tonight.
00:55:09What happened?
00:55:10The third man revealed the new world order,
00:55:13as Hogan put it.
00:55:15Where do we go from here?
00:55:16I don't know, man.
00:55:18It's not over yet.
00:55:19They're talking right now.
00:55:20All the guys here at WCW are talking right now.
00:55:23They may have won like they won battle,
00:55:26but they're talking now.
00:55:27It's going to be a war and it's not over yet.
00:55:29It is not over yet.
00:55:30I think really it's just begun in many ways.
00:55:33It's going to be the hottest summer you've ever seen.
00:55:36It's going to be a hot summer
00:55:38and you just have to wonder about the casualties.
00:55:40Luger, obviously.
00:55:42Maybe not so obviously.
00:55:43The first casualty.
00:55:44We'll talk more about some of the speculation here.
00:55:47Luger got taken out early.
00:55:50Jim Powers now really mounting some offense
00:55:53here on the Nature Boy, Rick Flair.
00:55:54Irish whip into the corner, double body drop.
00:55:56And Jim Powers taking control here.
00:55:59And I'll tell you what, a lot of guys back in the locker room
00:56:01have said a lot of good things about Jim Powers,
00:56:03but I don't think anybody really expected
00:56:04to hear Rick Flair run for his money like this.
00:56:07The new US heavyweight champion on his knees,
00:56:09begging for time here.
00:56:10Well, it doesn't surprise me.
00:56:11I know Jimmy Powers.
00:56:13I know the history of this man.
00:56:15He's been in the ring for quite a few matches.
00:56:18He knows his way around that ring
00:56:19and he realizes right here,
00:56:21with probably the largest TV audience
00:56:23in the history of television watching,
00:56:24he needs this match with Rick Flair.
00:56:27This is going to help him this match more than anything.
00:56:29Get down, Rick.
00:56:30Get down.
00:56:32The new US heavyweight champion,
00:56:34the man who is, you bet, standing in line
00:56:37for a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight title
00:56:40on his knees, only to come up with a thumb to the eyes.
00:56:46And that, like him or not, that's the experience.
00:56:49He'll lull you to sleep,
00:56:50he'll give you a false sense of security,
00:56:52and then he'll stick you in the eyes with a thumb,
00:56:54take you down and beat you.
00:56:55That's the nature boy, Rick Flair.
00:56:57Knows more tricks than Houdini.
00:56:59And the nature boy, Rick Flair,
00:57:01spent a little time up on that top turnbuckle.
00:57:04And Jim Powers, probably in the best shape of his life,
00:57:08running clothesline,
00:57:09sets the US heavyweight champion
00:57:10down in the center of the ring,
00:57:11takes his time, goes at him again.
00:57:12Another clothesline,
00:57:13and Jim Powers, in the center of the ring,
00:57:16hesitates, hooks the leg,
00:57:17gets a two count, two and a half.
00:57:18Almost got him.
00:57:19That shows you the competitive nature of Rick Flair.
00:57:22With that tough match he had last night with Conan,
00:57:25I mean, he got the title, he got the victory,
00:57:27but it was touch and go, back and forth.
00:57:28And to defend the title tonight
00:57:30against a man like Jimmy Powers,
00:57:32shows you how good Flair is.
00:57:34And how good the competition is here at WCW.
00:57:37You can bet the nature boy, Rick Flair,
00:57:39has his eye on a 14th World Heavyweight Championship,
00:57:43certainly unprecedented in this or any other sport.
00:57:47But he better not sell Jim Powers short,
00:57:49because Jim Powers, so far,
00:57:50has shown a tremendous amount of determination.
00:57:54He's not giving up.
00:57:55He's not backing down.
00:57:56He is not going to back down from the nature boy, Rick Flair.
00:57:59Irish whip coming out of the corner.
00:58:00The nature boy, Rick Flair, sets up.
00:58:01He moves out of the way, nobody home.
00:58:03Jim Powers, solar plexus, right into the turnbuckle,
00:58:06and then the nature boy, Rick Flair,
00:58:07cheap shot, clips the knee.
00:58:10Clips the knee.
00:58:11My understanding, by the way,
00:58:11talk to a good friend of ours, Kevin Green,
00:58:14Carolina Panthers, as he gets ready for the NFL season.
00:58:17He's going to join us next week.
00:58:18He's got a lot to say about Hulk Hogan.
00:58:21Rumor has it, Hogan may even be here next week.
00:58:24Nah, we're not able to confirm that yet.
00:58:26I'd love, I'll tell you what,
00:58:28I don't know if I'd love it or not.
00:58:30Well, you know what I mean, Jimmy.
00:58:31The day that I come face to face with him again,
00:58:33that's going to be interesting.
00:58:34Well, you take things so to heart.
00:58:36You're so emotional, when you look up to somebody,
00:58:38you look up to people.
00:58:39Same with Shivani, same with Okerlund.
00:58:42I'm telling you.
00:58:42He gave up.
00:58:44Oh, of course, it's a matter of time.
00:58:46The nature boy, Rick Flair, figure four,
00:58:50takes Powers out.
00:58:51Jim Powers, handed to him.
00:58:54Man, he put up a heck of a battle,
00:58:57but the nature boy, Rick Flair, just too much.
00:59:02Just too much.
00:59:04I'm having a real hard time focusing here.
00:59:08You know, I know there's a lot going on.
00:59:10All four horsemen here tonight.
00:59:13Boy, is everybody down.
00:59:15This is Disney.
00:59:15We're supposed to be having fun.
00:59:16I know, we are.
00:59:17I'm trying, man.
00:59:18I'm really trying, but I got to tell you, I'm out of it.
00:59:20I'm just...
00:59:21Well, Rick Flair here, sets up Jimmy Powers.
00:59:25Hits that top turnbuckle right in the solar plexus,
00:59:27slaps the figure four on.
00:59:28There's your winner,
00:59:29the United States heavyweight champion,
00:59:31soon to be, in my prediction,
00:59:34the heavyweight champion of the world,
00:59:35the nature boy, Rick Flair.
00:59:47All right, let's...
00:59:49I think Geet Okerlund's standing by.
00:59:52By Eric's day, it seems like it's kind of solemn,
00:59:55a kind of a letdown after last night,
00:59:57but I guarantee you, things are going to be heating up.
01:00:00But personally, for me, woman, try restrain yourself.
01:00:04Joining me, the four horsemen, Sands, Chris Benoit,
01:00:07still a U.S. champ from last night.
01:00:10Arn Anderson, I know, after last evening,
01:00:13a lot of things running through
01:00:14even the minds of the horsemen.
01:00:16You know, last night, there was a lot of highs
01:00:18and a lot of lows for the horsemen.
01:00:21Big Michael, big win.
01:00:23Flair, now the U.S. champion.
01:00:26Things didn't go exactly like we wanted.
01:00:28Consequently, we don't get a title shot.
01:00:30But what I saw at the end of the night made me wanna puke.
01:00:34You see, the horsemen have never tried to be role models.
01:00:37We've never claimed to be role models.
01:00:39But there's a man out there that that was his claim to fame,
01:00:42and there's a people all across this world
01:00:45that their very lives hinged on what he said.
01:00:49So what you did, I was one of those
01:00:52that with a vengeance went after you,
01:00:54and you know who you are.
01:00:55But it's not supposed to end like this.
01:00:58You're supposed to stand for something.
01:01:01You're not supposed to leave like a thief in the night
01:01:05while everybody's heart that you stepped
01:01:08and stomped on last night are gonna rise up to bite you
01:01:12and bite you real hard.
01:01:13Ask me, I know.
01:01:15Got a pretty good idea where that bite might take place.
01:01:17Steve Mongo McMichael,
01:01:19successful last night at the Bashas to Beat.
01:01:22Insider, outsider.
01:01:25Just like the term Four Horsemen alludes to, my friend,
01:01:29the apocalypse is on the WCW,
01:01:32and it don't have anything to do with anybody else
01:01:36but the Four Horsemen.
01:01:38Thank you very much.
01:01:39Nature Boy.
01:01:41Excuse me?
01:01:43Who do you think this is?
01:01:45Jumper Jack Flash?
01:01:46This is five times all pro, five times a man.
01:01:51Show him the ring.
01:01:53And behind me, The Enforcer, double A, unparalleled.
01:01:59And outsiders, insiders, until you can heal the sick,
01:02:05wake the dead, and drive little girls right out of their head.
01:02:10Woo!
01:02:11Giant, giant, giant.
01:02:14There's a new champ in town, buddy.
01:02:16One that can go all night long.
01:02:18Right, girls?
01:02:19Woo!
01:02:20Thank you very much, gentlemen.
01:02:22They are the Four Horsemen.
01:02:23They are on a world championship wrestling.
01:02:26Stay tuned for more exciting action.
01:02:29We are live.
01:02:30Go there now.
01:02:31Live from Orlando.
01:02:33Give it a rest, Blair.
01:02:34This is not the time or place.
01:02:45All right, we are back.
01:02:46WCW Night Show on TNT.
01:02:48We are live.
01:02:49We are on the air.
01:02:50We are coming to you from the Disney MGM Studios.
01:02:54And you know, Bobby, when you think about it,
01:02:56you know, we're all kind of down.
01:02:57We're a little distracted.
01:02:58It's really hard to focus on the issues at hand.
01:03:01But you know, you've got Sting.
01:03:03You've got the macho man, Randy Savage.
01:03:05You've got Lex Luger.
01:03:07And whether you like him or not,
01:03:09you've got the biggest man in the sport today.
01:03:12Seven foot, 440 some odd pounds, 450 pounds.
01:03:16The Giant, the World Heavyweight Champion,
01:03:18Ric Flair, the Four Horsemen.
01:03:21You've got a lot of great athletes here.
01:03:23And if anybody thinks that WCW is gonna dry up
01:03:25and blow away, I got news for you.
01:03:28I said it a couple weeks ago.
01:03:29I'll say it again.
01:03:30You know what?
01:03:31Maybe it's time to dig in.
01:03:33Maybe now we start to fight.
01:03:35And we've got the guns to do it with.
01:03:37Eric, it's okay.
01:03:40Nothing to worry about.
01:03:41We've got a lot of horses here.
01:03:42We've got a lot of guns.
01:03:44Now we know who the third man is.
01:03:45We know what it's all about.
01:03:47It's gonna be easy pickings.
01:03:48Let's not get down.
01:03:50Let's not be sad.
01:03:52Let's get ourselves up and let's fight these jokers
01:03:54and show them who's the best.
01:03:56You got it.
01:03:57Now we talked about Lex Luger.
01:03:59Take a look at this.
01:04:00Lex Luger did go down early in the match last night.
01:04:05And I mean very early.
01:04:06And you'll see some of the pictures later on
01:04:09that'll really tell the story.
01:04:11But Lex Luger, we still don't know about his condition.
01:04:13We'll try to get that for you.
01:04:15Luger was supposed to be here tonight
01:04:16to take on Chris Benoit.
01:04:18He is obviously not going to make it.
01:04:20Chris Benoit is here, however.
01:04:21Let's get down to the ring.
01:04:22Chris Benoit and the Pit Bull.
01:04:26Should go at it.
01:04:28You know, it is.
01:04:31You know, no great battle has really been won quickly.
01:04:35I mean, we're gonna have to dig in.
01:04:37We are gonna have to fight it.
01:04:38Hogan, hey, your new world order,
01:04:41if that's what it is, brother, you can have it.
01:04:45You can have it.
01:04:46You can stick it.
01:04:48We'll dig in.
01:04:50You know, I've been saying for years,
01:04:51I've been saying this for years,
01:04:52I don't like you to have it icy, I told you so,
01:04:54but there's the Pit Bull.
01:04:59The Pit Bull, Craig Pittman.
01:05:01He is here and he is here to do battle with Chris Benoit.
01:05:05And I'll tell you what, Chris Benoit,
01:05:07this guy, I heard him described today,
01:05:10he's like a Wolverine.
01:05:13And a very, very nasty Wolverine at that.
01:05:19They don't make good pets.
01:05:21And the Horsemen are stronger than ever now with this man.
01:05:23And Steve McMichaels, who all the other wrestlers
01:05:25don't know anything about.
01:05:26Now with Ric Flair, Arron Anderson,
01:05:28and the acceleration and ability that this man,
01:05:31Chris Benoit, the Crippler, the Canadian Crippler has,
01:05:34I don't see anybody can beat those four.
01:05:35Well, the Four Horsemen, certainly at full heck,
01:05:38they've got a Super Bowl championship for crying out loud.
01:05:42How many world titles?
01:05:43How many tag team titles?
01:05:45And a Super Bowl championship.
01:05:47And he's got his new little poodle, Ditka.
01:05:50As I said, in case you just joined us,
01:05:52later on, it's as quick as we can get it put together.
01:05:56We're gonna show you pictures that will tell the story
01:05:58that's been revealed.
01:05:59Standing switch, Craig Pitbull Pittman chasing Benoit.
01:06:03Benoit goes to the ropes.
01:06:04We will show you the pictures that will tell the story
01:06:07the third man revealed.
01:06:10That!
01:06:10Why did he snap him?
01:06:12He caught him low, underneath, took him over.
01:06:15Oh, yes!
01:06:17Pitbull!
01:06:18Pitman at the top of his game tonight.
01:06:21And if Benoit thought he was gonna have a cakewalk here,
01:06:24man, is he surprised.
01:06:27But look at the ability of Chris Benoit.
01:06:29He didn't back up.
01:06:30He didn't give up.
01:06:31He jumped up to his feet and just drove an elbow
01:06:33into the face of the Pitbull, Craig Pitman.
01:06:36And this is that nonstop aggression
01:06:39that has trademarked Chris Benoit.
01:06:42Boy, he, like you say, he just tears into you.
01:06:44He gets you where he wants to.
01:06:45Rips apart, slaps you around, puts the boots to you.
01:06:48He does so many things to you, so often, so quick.
01:06:51He's tremendous.
01:06:53And he's all busted up.
01:06:55Doesn't seem to slow him down much.
01:06:57His face battered and bruised,
01:06:58but this guy, like I said, he's a Wolverine, man.
01:07:01He's nonstop.
01:07:02Pictures still to come later in the hour.
01:07:04The most probably defining moment in history,
01:07:08not of WCW, but in the sport of wrestling.
01:07:11Professional wrestling, as we know it,
01:07:13the most defining moment took place
01:07:16less than 24 hours ago now, I guess.
01:07:19Still less than 24 hours ago.
01:07:21And I tell you what, the world will never be the same.
01:07:23Not as we know it in this industry.
01:07:24And all you little humanoids out there and Hulkamaniacs,
01:07:28break out the Scott Tissue and get ready
01:07:30to cry your eyes out when you see what we got to show you.
01:07:33Yeah.
01:07:34There's probably more Hulk Hogan merchandise
01:07:36on sale right now in garage sales.
01:07:39Has been sold in a given week.
01:07:41This guy has not endeared himself to anybody.
01:07:44And like I said, later on,
01:07:45as soon as we can get it put together, you'll see why.
01:07:47But right now, Chris Benoit, now what's this?
01:07:51Teddy Long.
01:07:52He's making a move on Teddy Long.
01:07:53Teddy Long, he's gonna get himself in trouble.
01:07:55Don't mess with Teddy.
01:07:57That'll wake up the pit bull.
01:07:58See, Teddy used to be a referee.
01:07:59Teddy's also managed champions.
01:08:01He's sent Benoit out there a bit.
01:08:03He's a chess player, man.
01:08:03You bet he is.
01:08:04He plays chess.
01:08:05He's a chess player.
01:08:06He's a chess player, man.
01:08:07You bet he is.
01:08:08He backed up at the right pace
01:08:09just to give Pitman a time to get behind him.
01:08:11He is a chess player.
01:08:13And now Pitman, he is going for a submission here.
01:08:20And Teddy, Teddy's getting a little physical here.
01:08:23This is not Teddy's style.
01:08:25Well, he must've given up.
01:08:26Pitman must've given up.
01:08:27Is he throwing it in?
01:08:29He's throwing the towel in.
01:08:29He's throwing the towel in for Pitman.
01:08:31Wait a minute.
01:08:34Wait a minute.
01:08:36Well, he doesn't want Benoit the Cripper to cripple his man.
01:08:38That's exactly why he's doing that.
01:08:39Yeah, but that's up to Pitman.
01:08:40That's Pitman's call.
01:08:41Maybe Pitman couldn't speak.
01:08:44Maybe he couldn't utter a sound or a word.
01:08:47That's Pitman's call.
01:08:48There you have it.
01:08:49Your winner, Chris Benoit.
01:08:52That's a very impressive win.
01:08:55All right.
01:08:56Well, we've got a lot more great action still to come
01:08:57here on Nitro.
01:09:00I can't wait to see that slide.
01:09:06All right.
01:09:07Welcome back.
01:09:09We are coming to you live from Disney MGM in Orlando.
01:09:15TNT Nitro.
01:09:16I'll tell you what, man.
01:09:18We've come a long way since last September and it is great.
01:09:23It is absolutely great.
01:09:24Nitro on the air, hotter than ever.
01:09:27And I'll tell you what, so much going on.
01:09:29We talked about what happened last night,
01:09:32but in just a few minutes,
01:09:33you're going to see a guy that really represents WCW
01:09:36like no one else.
01:09:38And we're talking about the Stinger.
01:09:40And I'm not taking anything away from Arn Anderson at all
01:09:43when I say this, because Arn, I mean,
01:09:45you heard what he said earlier on in his interview.
01:09:46He took this a little personally as well.
01:09:48Everybody is.
01:09:50But Sting fought the fight of his life last night after
01:09:53Lex Luger went down and you talk about cuts,
01:09:57you talk about determination,
01:10:00you talk about a will to win.
01:10:01You talk about the Supreme athlete.
01:10:04And maybe this is what Sting,
01:10:07maybe this in a twisted, weird kind of a way
01:10:10is more motivation than he could have ever hoped for.
01:10:16Because this guy will not give up.
01:10:18What I noticed about Sting last night that impressed me,
01:10:21and I don't get impressed easy.
01:10:22But when his partner, his friend, Lex Luger,
01:10:25got up on the ring and he said,
01:10:27but when his partner, his friend, Lex Luger,
01:10:29got hurt and got stretched out,
01:10:31Luger, Sting did something I've never seen before.
01:10:34He kicked it up two gears.
01:10:36He was in that ring for 12, 15, maybe 18 minutes
01:10:39fighting for his life.
01:10:41And I believe last night unlocked the monster,
01:10:44the demon that lives inside this man.
01:10:46Because I never saw a Stinger like I saw him last night.
01:10:49He was possessed and he was up for one thing.
01:10:52He was there to fight.
01:10:54But now I'm getting some mixed messages here.
01:10:58I hear that we may have, oh man.
01:11:01I hear we may have guests.
01:11:04They're telling me in the back,
01:11:04we may have guests here tonight.
01:11:06And I'll tell you what,
01:11:07there is not enough security here at Disney.
01:11:10If this is gonna be like anything we've seen
01:11:12over the last couple of weeks,
01:11:13we got a problem right here in Disney World,
01:11:16let me tell you.
01:11:17Maybe I should go get some help.
01:11:18Well, let's just see what happens.
01:11:19I don't believe I'm gonna go get some help.
01:11:21They're not confirming it here.
01:11:22Sting's in the ring now.
01:11:24And I'll tell you what,
01:11:24it's a different, it's a different Sting.
01:11:28I mean, I think he's gonna be,
01:11:29I think he's consumed with what happened last night.
01:11:31Like we all are and were, you know,
01:11:35we've had a chance to kind of collect our thoughts here
01:11:37and get back on the horse and ride again.
01:11:40But I'll tell you what,
01:11:41you gotta wonder what is going through Sting's mind.
01:11:43Seeing Luger go down so early in that contest
01:11:46and seeing, like I said,
01:11:48the pictures will tell the story later on.
01:11:50And what a fight Savage put up.
01:11:52Savage, I'll tell you what.
01:11:54He was crazier than ever.
01:11:55Miss Elizabeth, the money, all of it.
01:12:00What had to be going through his mind last night
01:12:03when Hulk Hogan, John Wayne's out there and then shot.
01:12:08Who could have been more shocked than the Macho Man?
01:12:11Total betrayal, total betrayal.
01:12:14And I don't mind stuff like that,
01:12:15but I warned everybody a long, long time ago.
01:12:18No one would listen to me.
01:12:20Pictures still to come here before the end of the broadcast.
01:12:23We're getting them ready for you.
01:12:26You'll have them.
01:12:27And this is footage,
01:12:30pictures you'll be seeing a lot of in magazines,
01:12:33newspapers around the world.
01:12:35Into a hammerlock, Arn Anderson in control.
01:12:37Sting with a nice reversal.
01:12:39The Stinger now in control.
01:12:40Arn Anderson in the center of the ring.
01:12:42All the pressure on the elbow and the shoulder.
01:12:45And the Stinger, a man who knows Arn Anderson
01:12:49extremely well into a standing armbar.
01:12:50You know what's amazing?
01:12:52You got Wimbledon.
01:12:54You got a woman that runs on there, streaks the place.
01:12:56You got the Olympics coming up.
01:12:58And in the lobby this morning and in the coffee shop,
01:13:00the only thing people were talking about
01:13:02was WCW and Hulk Hogan.
01:13:05Well, they had a lot to talk about.
01:13:09The replay, mind you, check your local broadcast replay
01:13:12of Bash at the Beach beginning tomorrow night.
01:13:16But check your local cable systems.
01:13:19Ask them where and when you can see it
01:13:23because I'll tell you what, history was made last night.
01:13:26Hey, get on the phone right now and call your friends.
01:13:28You're not going to want to miss what we got to show you.
01:13:31All right, now I'm getting the word
01:13:32not only is it appeared, yes, indeed,
01:13:34we may definitely have visitors here tonight.
01:13:37They're also telling me we've got to take a quick break.
01:13:39I'm going to try to confirm.
01:13:41I can only imagine who it is.
01:13:43Well, don't leave me here.
01:13:44I'm going to try to confirm it during the break.
01:13:45We'll have it, we'll show you what happens in this match.
01:13:47We'll be back right after this.
01:13:48Well, I'm going with you.
01:13:49Oh, man, here we go again.
01:13:51It just doesn't stop.
01:13:52It just doesn't stop.
01:13:54Stop this.
01:13:56Tingle.
01:13:56Our world is about to change.
01:14:00Enter the realm.
01:14:07Blood runs cold.
01:14:09And each of us burns a fury of a warrior.
01:14:15Glacier.
01:14:22All right, we're back.
01:14:23We're back live.
01:14:24Coming to you from the Disney MGM Studios Outdoors.
01:14:28We are at the main entrance of one
01:14:30of the most popular theme parks in the country today.
01:14:33And the star of the night is here.
01:14:35One of the most popular theme parks in the country today.
01:14:38And the Stinger now going to work on AA Arn Anderson.
01:14:40Arn Anderson in the corner.
01:14:42And the Stinger, as hard as he fought last night,
01:14:46I mean, it was one of the more physical matches
01:14:49I've ever seen Sting involved in.
01:14:51Look at him go here tonight.
01:14:53This guy was lit.
01:14:55I mean, I've seen him in the ring with 500 pound men,
01:14:57400 pound men.
01:14:58I've seen him go right at his opponents.
01:15:00Well, last night, like I said,
01:15:01he kicked it up into a new gear.
01:15:03He wasn't the Sting of old.
01:15:06He was a Sting like I've never seen before.
01:15:07And when Luger got hurt,
01:15:09I don't know how long he was in there,
01:15:10but he didn't stop fighting.
01:15:11All right, now I understand.
01:15:13There is a black limousine that has just pulled up.
01:15:15We can't see it here.
01:15:16It is just pulled up.
01:15:18I don't know who is in it.
01:15:19I don't know how many people are in it.
01:15:22This is not, this is not a good thing.
01:15:25Not now, not here, not at Disney.
01:15:27Arn Anderson going to work on Stinger.
01:15:29Stinger in trouble here now in the center of the ring.
01:15:31Luger out of commission.
01:15:32We think, we don't know.
01:15:34No word yet on his condition.
01:15:36Savage, I'm sure if he's got the hint
01:15:39that there's somebody out here,
01:15:40he's going to be bouncing off the locker room wall back there.
01:15:43He's going to come right out here
01:15:44and kick in the sunroof, the windshield,
01:15:46dive right into that car if there's 50 people in there.
01:15:48Savage going to pull him up through the tailpipe.
01:15:50This is not good.
01:15:51There are too many kids here.
01:15:52There are too, there's not enough security here.
01:15:54That's the only bad thing about an outdoor event like this
01:15:59is it's too hard.
01:16:00And they think they run everything now.
01:16:02They think they can get away and do whatever they want.
01:16:04After last night, what's been happening here
01:16:06in the last couple of weeks, months here, it's dangerous.
01:16:09It is very dangerous.
01:16:12Arn Anderson now working over the Stinger.
01:16:15And the Stinger is in trouble here.
01:16:19Abdominal stretch.
01:16:21Arn Anderson has got the left leg grapevine.
01:16:23He's reached around in the reverse half Nelson
01:16:26and he is putting all the pressure on the lower rib cage.
01:16:30Ligaments, cartilage, snap, crackle, pop.
01:16:34Sound familiar to you, Heenan?
01:16:35Very familiar.
01:16:36And you know Sting didn't get a good night's sleep
01:16:38last night.
01:16:38None of us did.
01:16:39Nobody did that cared about Hogan.
01:16:40I slept like a baby.
01:16:41I was in bed early.
01:16:42I had the carpets pulled up around my ears.
01:16:43I was relaxing.
01:16:45I had the clicker in my hand.
01:16:46Didn't bother me.
01:16:47Sickening human being he is,
01:16:49but I'll guarantee you Sting didn't sleep last night.
01:16:52Well, Arn Anderson taking advantage of the fact
01:16:55that maybe we do not have a 100%
01:16:59healthy, complete Sting here.
01:17:02But again, you can't sell him short, man.
01:17:04You cannot sell this guy short.
01:17:06But look at this.
01:17:07He just hip-locked Arn Anderson out of that stretch
01:17:09and his ribs are bombing.
01:17:10Look at the elevation he got.
01:17:12I mean, the spring in this man's legs are, it's incredible.
01:17:16It's absolutely incredible.
01:17:18One, two, and double A Arn Anderson
01:17:21trying to get the three count here.
01:17:22Sting close to the ropes, but able to roll the shoulder.
01:17:25He's making him use up his option.
01:17:27That's what Arn Anderson is doing.
01:17:28He's making Sting lay on his back and push up.
01:17:31He's making this man fight for this match.
01:17:34Still no activity in this black limousine.
01:17:37Oh!
01:17:39Well, why don't we just call the gendarmes
01:17:40and have him thrown out of here?
01:17:41Yeah, well, it might be easier said than done.
01:17:44Maybe we just leave well enough alone.
01:17:47Well, they didn't park here just to watch you and I.
01:17:52And double A Arn Anderson now going for the submission.
01:17:59I don't know if his legs are strong enough
01:18:00to get him out of this.
01:18:01After what he went through last night
01:18:03and what he's gone through in the early stages
01:18:05of this match and not sleeping.
01:18:07All right, we're gonna, and there you see it.
01:18:10The limousine is here.
01:18:11What they're waiting for, I don't know.
01:18:13It's like a hearse.
01:18:15Perhaps they have a monitor inside of that thing
01:18:17or they're watching.
01:18:18I don't know if they could be watching.
01:18:19They're live, of course they're watching us.
01:18:21Hard to get cable inside of a limousine,
01:18:23but nevertheless, they could be on a phone.
01:18:26They could know what's going on inside of the thing.
01:18:28I don't know.
01:18:29This is just a little distracting.
01:18:31This whole thing, ever since last night,
01:18:33I'll tell you what, my head's been in a blender
01:18:35and this is not making it any easier for any of us.
01:18:37Sting has no idea what's going on outside of the ring.
01:18:40All he knows is the battle that he's got going on
01:18:43inside of the ring with Arn Anderson.
01:18:45Are you trying to tell me that you think
01:18:46maybe the three of them are in that limo?
01:18:48I have no idea who's here.
01:18:50I have no idea.
01:18:51I know you don't read too much into this thing.
01:18:53I don't know.
01:18:54Well, it's parked here for a reason.
01:18:56No one's getting into it.
01:18:57No one's getting out of it.
01:18:59It's not here for me or you.
01:19:01Yeah, my limo's white.
01:19:02Yeah, I mean, a very good point.
01:19:04This is taking me on a headset, sir.
01:19:0624 hours ago, we thought Hulk Hogan
01:19:09was coming out to help the macho man Randy Savage
01:19:12and our whole world's changed in a big way.
01:19:17And Stinger is down, Arn Anderson is down.
01:19:21Oh, man.
01:19:23Oh, wait a minute.
01:19:26Oh, yeah.
01:19:28Oh, they're out.
01:19:30Here we go again.
01:19:31Eric, and there's still somebody in the car.
01:19:33And Sting has got the fight going on inside of the ring.
01:19:37He has no idea, and I'm afraid of what's gonna happen
01:19:41if he gets an eyeful of these two guys.
01:19:43Paul and Nash making their way, I guess, over the ring.
01:19:46I've lost sight of them here.
01:19:48I have lost sight of them.
01:19:48Sting, in the meantime, there they are.
01:19:50There they are, making their way to the ring.
01:19:53There's only two of them, though.
01:19:54Oh, two count.
01:19:57And now, okay.
01:19:58Sting's not aware they're even here.
01:20:00Sting, this cannot happen to him tonight.
01:20:04Security trying to put a stop to this here.
01:20:10Okay, let's see if we can pick this up.
01:20:13And look at Arn Anderson.
01:20:15Savage is out.
01:20:17And look at Arn Anderson.
01:20:18They have stopped the fight inside of the ring.
01:20:21This thing, no, Anderson now going after Sting.
01:20:27I've lost track of what's going on.
01:20:29Look at Sting.
01:20:29Sting says, take a look at this.
01:20:32Sting's got the fight going on inside of the ring.
01:20:35Sting's got the fight going on inside of the ring.
01:20:37Sting's got the fight going on inside of the ring.
01:20:40Sting says, take a look at this, Hal.
01:20:43Take a look at this, Nash.
01:20:45And look, he's facing him.
01:20:46He's facing him.
01:20:47He's not turning his back on him.
01:20:48He is looking them in the eye.
01:20:50The macho man, Randy Savage.
01:20:52He's going for him.
01:20:53He's going right to the security.
01:20:57Out of control.
01:20:59Sting wants it.
01:21:03He wants it bad.
01:21:06I'll tell you what, we talked about it.
01:21:07We talked about the motivation.
01:21:09We talked about it and Sting just showed us.
01:21:13Things were back and forth with him and Anderson
01:21:15until he got an eyeful of these two guys, the Outsiders.
01:21:21And I understand Gene Okerlund is going to try to get
01:21:25a word, he's going to try to get an interview here.
01:21:28I'm not sure who he's going to try to talk to.
01:21:30The Outsiders or Sting.
01:21:32Wait, my assistant just told me
01:21:33the guys in the back are getting dressed now.
01:21:35All right, let's go.
01:21:36Gene Okerlund's ready.
01:21:37Take it, Geno.
01:21:38All right, Eric, I'm going to try
01:21:39and talk to everybody if I can.
01:21:40I'm going to start with Sting after what happened last night
01:21:42at the Bash at the Beach in neighboring Orlando.
01:21:45Sting, a very somber mood here tonight.
01:21:47I can't believe it.
01:21:49I can feel it.
01:21:51You can feel it.
01:21:53These people continue to make our lives very, very tenuous.
01:21:58They did it again tonight,
01:22:00right in the middle of your match with Arn Anderson.
01:22:02But let's go back to last night.
01:22:03What's your sense of what happened
01:22:05at the Bash at the Beach?
01:22:08I am not at all surprised.
01:22:13What happened last night,
01:22:14I'm not surprised about coming from the two Outsiders.
01:22:19But I will say I am very, very surprised at you, Hulk Hogan.
01:22:25But I should have known.
01:22:27I should have known when you were traveling
01:22:29to every town in that big, fat limo.
01:22:33I should have known because you didn't want to travel
01:22:35with the Macho Man and Total Package and the Stinger.
01:22:39Uh-uh, you were too busy making big movies
01:22:43and coming in for a little cameo appearance.
01:22:45You were too busy walking on the dark side.
01:22:49I should have known when you referred
01:22:52to the Macho Man and the Total Package
01:22:55and me as three little dogs
01:22:58waiting for a chance to wrestle the great Hulk Hogan.
01:23:04I should have known when I looked into your eyes.
01:23:07But you know something, I made a mistake.
01:23:10But you made a bigger mistake.
01:23:12Because last night, you wiped out
01:23:16and trashed every single little kid,
01:23:19every single person that was a part of your life,
01:23:22that patterned their life after you.
01:23:25You told them to believe in the man upstairs.
01:23:28You told them to say their prayers
01:23:31and to take their vitamins.
01:23:33You told them to believe in themselves.
01:23:36And you know something, it's a good thing
01:23:38you told them to believe in themselves
01:23:40because they sure as heck can't believe in you.
01:23:45By the way.
01:23:47And last but not least, to put the cherry on the top,
01:23:51all those little kids, you told them to stick it.
01:23:56No, you stick it, Hulk.
01:24:00You stick it.
01:24:02That is very strong.
01:24:04By the way, as fate would have it,
01:24:06these two men and their partner last night,
01:24:09Lex Luger got knocked out early in the action,
01:24:11so the two of you had to go against the Outsiders.
01:24:14Macho Man Randy Savage, you were very close
01:24:17with Hulk Hogan as I was.
01:24:18You were part of the mega powers.
01:24:20And if anybody got it stuck up or stuck,
01:24:23well, stuck to him, you got, really got it stuck to you.
01:24:27I got a message for Hollywood Hogan.
01:24:35For what I wanna tell ya and what I wanna do to ya,
01:24:41I can't say you're on television,
01:24:43especially here at Disney.
01:24:49But you take the worst thing that you can think about
01:24:54and you multiply it by the number nine million,
01:24:59and then you multiply it by infinity and beyond.
01:25:03It would be just like one grain of sand
01:25:06in the Sahara Desert, brother,
01:25:09because it's really, really scary
01:25:12what I'm thinking and gonna do to you, yeah.
01:25:18Boy, there is some energy, there is some emotion
01:25:20built up in these bodies, these minds.
01:25:24All of us at World Championship Wrestling still wondering
01:25:27what happened to Hulk Hogan last night in Daytona.
01:25:32Ladies and gentlemen, we are live in Orlando.
01:25:34This is Nitro, and we're right back.
01:25:46Joe from Disney, MGM in Orlando, Florida.
01:25:48I came over here this afternoon
01:25:50with, what was it, Kissimmee Cab Company.
01:25:53Of course, these two gentlemen, you know who they are.
01:25:55We certainly found out who they are, or were, last night.
01:25:59They come in limo with the driver here.
01:26:01Gentlemen, we have things to talk about.
01:26:04What transpired last night at the Bash at the Beach,
01:26:06first knocking Lex Luger out of action.
01:26:08It happened, actually, at the hands
01:26:10of one of his own men, Sting.
01:26:11Sting and the Macho Man, then continuing on.
01:26:14The surprise of the night we'll see a little bit later,
01:26:17just moments from now, right here on TNT.
01:26:20But you, sir, you and your partner
01:26:23come to this great organization,
01:26:25and all of a sudden, things start to crumble.
01:26:28But I don't think that trend
01:26:30is gonna continue for long, my friend.
01:26:32You know, Gene, I could have to
01:26:35beg to differ with you on that one.
01:26:37You know, I thought tonight, after we proved ourselves,
01:26:40you know, WCW last night took a beating.
01:26:43You know, the fans took a beating,
01:26:45because the Hulkster told them exactly how it was.
01:26:48You know, Hulk built professional wrestling,
01:26:51and these people can't even appreciate that.
01:26:53He and I can.
01:26:55Next week, the third member of the New Order will be here.
01:26:59Hulk Hogan will be at Nitro.
01:27:02And we'll see what these people have to do.
01:27:04We'll see what the WCW, what the big boys
01:27:06are gonna put up against us.
01:27:08Because last night, I don't know about you, big boy,
01:27:10but I felt like Mark Furman at the Apollo.
01:27:16No, at the Apollo.
01:27:16I mean, geez, come on, the people were rough on us.
01:27:20They had reason to be rough on you.
01:27:21And I'll tell you, one man, if he's not here,
01:27:23he's gotta be watching this television program.
01:27:25Hulk Hogan, so many people so disappointed in your actions.
01:27:30I don't know if you coerced him into this,
01:27:31or if he did this of his own volition,
01:27:33but nonetheless, it's been done.
01:27:35I just wanna start by saying, Chico,
01:27:38that this portion of WCW Monday Nitro
01:27:43brought to you by the Outsiders and Hulk Hogan.
01:27:48I don't know what that's supposed to mean.
01:27:50Hey, we said we'd do it.
01:27:54We advertised it, then we delivered.
01:27:57We said we'd kick their butts, and we did it.
01:28:01And we're still the Outsiders.
01:28:04We gotta crash the party.
01:28:07You should be begging us to come in the door.
01:28:10You know, somebody made a comment to me this evening
01:28:13that I might not be working any longer.
01:28:14I'd like to know just what kind of control
01:28:16you guys have here.
01:28:17Gene, you know, Scheme Gene,
01:28:21as far as I'm concerned, Chico,
01:28:22you got a job with the New World Order.
01:28:26Gentlemen, I will continue to work for Turner Broadcasting.
01:28:29What's the word with Hogan, where is he tonight?
01:28:32Well, I believe the Hulkster's back on the set
01:28:35doing a movie tonight.
01:28:36Yeah, you know something?
01:28:37What?
01:28:38I heard that punk Randy Savage
01:28:40talking about Hollywood Hulk.
01:28:42Little bit jealous there, Motch.
01:28:43Just a little jealous.
01:28:45And for Luger, he didn't get hurt.
01:28:47He fainted when he saw us.
01:28:49Thank you, gentlemen.
01:28:50I don't like what I hear.
01:28:51Stay tuned.
01:28:52When we return on Nitro,
01:28:54you're gonna see what went down, please,
01:28:57at the Bash at the Beach.
01:28:58Don't go away.
01:28:59I don't want to talk.
01:29:00I don't want to talk.
01:29:08All right, welcome back.
01:29:09We are live.
01:29:10We are Nitro.
01:29:11And I'll tell you what, you just heard the interview,
01:29:13and I don't know what to say.
01:29:15After the last month and a half or so
01:29:18of having to be associated with these guys
01:29:20and everything that's happened,
01:29:21I don't even want to refer to it anymore.
01:29:23But I do want to talk about,
01:29:24we told the fans,
01:29:25we want to show you what happened last night.
01:29:28Let's not wait any longer.
01:29:29See if we can pull it up on the monitor here.
01:29:31I mean, it was a capacity crowd.
01:29:33And I mean, Hall and Nash,
01:29:35we all know what they look like.
01:29:37But I'll tell you what,
01:29:38a team right here, Sting, Lex Luger,
01:29:40the Macho Man Randy Savage,
01:29:41so determined, so confident.
01:29:44And they had the entire crowd behind them.
01:29:46Here, you see it.
01:29:47You know, Hall getting right in Luger's face.
01:29:50All three did not come out at once.
01:29:52But I mean, early on in the match,
01:29:54Luger got sandwiched underneath
01:29:58Nash and Sting.
01:29:59Sting, I mean, it was a splash.
01:30:02And then out comes Hogan.
01:30:03Savage was down right now.
01:30:05At this point, Savage was down,
01:30:07in the entire arena.
01:30:08When he came in and ripped off his shirt,
01:30:10everybody absolutely convinced.
01:30:13And I mean, look at the look on his face here.
01:30:15I mean, Nash, it looked like he was in shock
01:30:18until Hulk Hogan drops the leg
01:30:23right across the chin.
01:30:25Not once, not twice.
01:30:30And look at him.
01:30:31I mean, just drops it.
01:30:33And here it is.
01:30:34The crowd at this point was stunned.
01:30:38And look at this.
01:30:39Look at the litter in the ring.
01:30:41They were throwing everything that wasn't nailed down.
01:30:45They threw into that ring.
01:30:46The crowd was incensed.
01:30:49And you know, Hogan,
01:30:51and we're gonna hear the interview,
01:30:53you know, in the weeks to come.
01:30:54We understand Hogan is going to be here next week.
01:30:57So maybe we'll hear it from his own mouth.
01:31:00But I'll tell you what,
01:31:01the things that he said,
01:31:04the people that he said them to,
01:31:05I'll tell you what, Heath, I've never heard,
01:31:07I never would have imagined that.
01:31:08Well, you know, he talked
01:31:09about all the charity work he's done.
01:31:11He talked about all his so-called friends in this sport,
01:31:14how he built this sport to a peak.
01:31:16You think all the years that I've been around
01:31:18and everybody else has been here,
01:31:19we just been riding somebody's coattails?
01:31:21No.
01:31:22The business in this sport has grown
01:31:25because of people like me
01:31:27and the rest of the people in this sport.
01:31:28Not you, Hogan.
01:31:30Not you.
01:31:31Check the Encore presentation tomorrow night.
01:31:33Check your local listings.
01:31:34We'll see you next week.
