00:00:00It's time for

00:00:05WCW Monday Nitro.

00:00:10Two hours of wrestling

00:00:16hottest television

00:00:23program coming to you live

00:00:28here on TNT with the superstars

00:00:33of World Championship Wrestling.

00:00:38This is without a doubt where the big boys play and

00:00:43we are jam packed, a capacity crowd on hand for

00:00:48WCW with some of the finest wrestling action

00:00:53you will find worldwide.

00:00:56As always, as you know, we are red hot and we are counting the days.

00:01:00The Slim Jims, Halloween Havoc, along with living legend Larry Zbysko.

00:01:04This is Tony Schiavone for our number one of our live telecast.

00:01:08And Larry, as we left our fans last week, what is going on with Miss Elizabeth?

00:01:13She is apparently very distraught, but a lot of questions need to be answered.

00:01:17What do you mean she's apparently distraught?

00:01:19It's obvious she's with the New World Order.

00:01:22She's sitting in the middle of the lion's den, movie contracts on her lap.

00:01:27Hollywood Hulk Hogan offering her parts of the movie.

00:01:30We saw it.

00:01:31What do you mean?

00:01:32No controversy as far as I'm concerned.

00:01:34She's in the New World Order.

00:01:36There's a lot more to that story, though.

00:01:38Let's take a look at the footage as it happened a week ago.

00:01:40Miss Elizabeth leaving the New World Order in their hotel room.

00:01:50And here comes the Macho Man Randy Savage.

00:01:52And he confronts her.

00:01:54I mean, look at her.

00:01:56Take a look at her face, if you will.

00:01:58She is very, very upset.

00:01:59There is something else here with Miss Elizabeth.

00:02:02And maybe we'll find out tonight, because our main event in the second hour

00:02:06tonight is the Macho Man Randy Savage against the Nature Boy Ric Flair,

00:02:11the man that she's been escorting to ring with.

00:02:14Well, you know what?

00:02:15Look at her face.

00:02:16She was scared.

00:02:17She got caught.

00:02:18But look at Macho Man.

00:02:19Attitude is the secret.

00:02:21Attitude is your inner feelings expressed through your outward behavior.

00:02:26Savage has no emotion.

00:02:28All control, Tony.

00:02:29The man is gone.

00:02:30And Savage, going into October 27th, will be in the main event at Slim Jim's

00:02:33Halloween Havoc against Hulk Hogan for the WCW world title.

00:02:36Speaking of world titles, there are new world tag team champions.

00:02:39We'll show you the footage.

00:02:40It happened just a couple of days ago on WCW Saturday night.

00:02:44You are seeing right now, as Colonel Parker holds the leg,

00:02:48you see the leg bandaged up of Johnny Grunge, kicked by Stevie Ray.

00:02:53Harlem Heat regains the WCW world tag team title from Public Enemy.

00:02:59Look at this.

00:03:00Kane across the knee of Johnny Grunge.

00:03:02And now for Harlem Heat, they will go into Slim Jim's Halloween Havoc

00:03:06as the champs against the Outsiders.

00:03:08Well, I like it.

00:03:09I like the Harlem Heat's chance against Hogan Nash.

00:03:12Their job is to keep the holy grail of the tag team championship.

00:03:16Let's go to Dave Fentzer, the opening bout here on Nitro.

00:03:20Ladies and gentlemen, the opening contest live on Nitro

00:03:23is a special non-title grunge match.

00:03:26And for one fall, introducing first, from South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,

00:03:31Flyboy Rocko Rock and Johnny Grunge, the Public Enemy.

00:03:40We open up with a dandy, and I mean we have a tremendous program

00:03:44here tonight live for you because this is kind of a return match,

00:03:49but this is a non-title grunge match.

00:03:51And you can better believe these two men, Public Enemy.

00:03:55From Nelson to the neck.

00:03:59They want a part of Harlem Heat.

00:04:02And they got something to prove here, Larry.

00:04:04Well, Public Enemy, give these guys some credit.

00:04:07Here's a physical team.

00:04:09They're a brutally physical team.

00:04:11Their pain means nothing to them.

00:04:13Pain is a fact of life in professional wrestling.

00:04:16Two opponents in the ring.

00:04:18And coming into the ring by Sister Sherri and Colonel Parker.

00:04:21From 110th Street in Harlem, New York,

00:04:24the WCW World Tag Team Champions,

00:04:27The Gucci, Stevie Ray, Harlem Heat.

00:04:33Where'd they put the table?

00:04:35They put the table right down to our left, near side.

00:04:38That's by you.

00:04:39Yeah, that's closer to me than it is you.

00:04:41Good.

00:04:42You take a look at our capacity crowd on hand as we head on

00:04:46into this month of October.

00:04:48October 27th, Glim Jim's Halloween Havoc,

00:04:50live from the MGM Grand and the Garden Arena in Las Vegas,

00:04:54Sunday, October 27th.

00:04:56For Harlem Heat, the World Tag Team Champions.

00:04:59And there you see, look at the face, if you will,

00:05:02of Nick Patrick, senior official,

00:05:04who has a different attitude

00:05:08to go with what's been going on as of late.

00:05:10As a matter of fact, we're gonna be hearing

00:05:12an interview I conducted with Nick Patrick

00:05:14a little bit later on in this telecast.

00:05:16We talked about Ric Flair and the Macho Man, Randy Savage,

00:05:18later on in the second hour.

00:05:20In addition, a return match from last week.

00:05:22How about this?

00:05:23Later on tonight in this program,

00:05:25Ric Steiner in a return match against Chris Benoit.

00:05:28Well, this week, he's got brother Scott Steiner

00:05:31here in his corner.

00:05:33Kind of fares up the situation.

00:05:36Boy, look at here.

00:05:37Look at the tempers here on Public Enemy.

00:05:39They want the Heat.

00:05:40They want him bad.

00:05:41But then again, if you get too out of control,

00:05:43you'll have that Randy Savage syndrome

00:05:46where, you know, you'll make too many mistakes.

00:05:48You've got to think.

00:05:50There is no question, when you size up these two teams,

00:05:53the power advantage, the quickness advantage

00:05:56goes to the Chance Harlem Heat.

00:05:58But there's an entity here,

00:06:00there's a little part of Public Enemy

00:06:02that makes them successful,

00:06:04and that's their throw caution of the win attitude.

00:06:07Reckless abandon, we call it.

00:06:08They will do anything it takes to win.

00:06:10Use the tables.

00:06:11They are street brawlers in the purest sense of the word,

00:06:14and they are the former champs

00:06:16wanting to secure the titles back.

00:06:18Harlem Heat, though, they're awesome.

00:06:20Yeah, really.

00:06:21Talk about a tag team

00:06:22that's the evil Knievel of wrestling

00:06:24right there, Public Enemy.

00:06:26They don't care.

00:06:27They just want to win.

00:06:28Broken bones will heal,

00:06:30but it's hard to get your hands on a championship.

00:06:33Side headlock, Johnny Grunge into the ropes.

00:06:37Shoulder block takedown.

00:06:38Tripped up that time.

00:06:40Right hand, top of the head.

00:06:46The fans behind this Public Enemy duo,

00:06:48Rocco Rockets exchanging out

00:06:50one of their strong suits double team,

00:06:52and you're seeing it right here.

00:06:53Elbow drop on the back of the head.

00:06:55And that's what Public Enemy has to do.

00:06:57They have to keep that tag team unit

00:06:59working as a double team against the Heat.

00:07:01Johnny Grunge better get back on that apron.

00:07:04It's too late.

00:07:05It is too late, and now Stevie Ray

00:07:07in exchange.

00:07:08Look at this double team.

00:07:09They are two of the most powerful tag team wrestlers

00:07:12not only now in the NCAA,

00:07:14but in the history of world championship wrestling.

00:07:17And we have some of the greatest men ever

00:07:20who have been world tag team champions,

00:07:22legendary competitors,

00:07:23tag team champions holding those belts.

00:07:25Yeah, and look at the aggressive nature here.

00:07:27Harlan Heath.

00:07:28They're ready for Slim Jim's Halloween havoc.

00:07:31He's got Sister Sherry.

00:07:33He's going after Sister Sherry.

00:07:37And he paid for it.

00:07:40Ladies and gentlemen,

00:07:41we have to take a commercial break.

00:07:43Well, not now.

00:07:44This tag team match will continue

00:07:45right after this time out

00:07:47here on WCW Monday Night Raw.

00:07:49Stay with us.

00:07:50Look, Nick Patrick's hurt,

00:07:51and he's on the floor.

00:08:18Oh, yeah.

00:08:21Call 1-800-WCW-8661.

00:08:25Oh, yeah.

00:08:27We sent a cameraman back live,

00:08:29and you're looking live right now,

00:08:30Miss Elizabeth, at the door of the Macho Man.

00:08:32Let's listen in here.

00:08:33Please, let me in.

00:08:37Randy, please, are you here?

00:08:40Please, you've got to let me talk to you.

00:08:42You've got to let me explain.

00:08:43Please.

00:08:44Randy?

00:08:50He's...

00:08:51Look at her face, if you would, Larry.

00:08:52He is not in there.

00:08:54And there is more than meets the eye here.

00:08:57Yes, talk about a guilty look.

00:08:59Look at the face of Miss Elizabeth.

00:09:01You know what?

00:09:02She's knocking outside the door,

00:09:03going, Randy, Randy.

00:09:04Same thing Delilah said.

00:09:06Sit right down here, Samson.

00:09:08Let me get the haircut.

00:09:10Savage should run for his life.

00:09:12I'm not denying there apparently had been

00:09:14some deal made with her in the NWO,

00:09:16but I think there was a lot of feeling still there.

00:09:18And as we said later on,

00:09:20in this telecast, stay right where you are.

00:09:23The Macho Man and Ric Flair,

00:09:26one-on-one.

00:09:27Can you believe that they would sign

00:09:29a match like that?

00:09:30And we are now a little bit over two weeks away

00:09:32from Slim Jim's Halloween Havoc,

00:09:34the most important match in the career

00:09:36of the Macho Man, Randy Savage.

00:09:38Is Randy Savage thinking rationally?

00:09:41You know how much he hates Flair.

00:09:42Flair is the man that spent all his alimony.

00:09:46There's a one count.

00:09:48And that's why Elizabeth is making movie deals

00:09:51with Hollywood Hulk Hogan.

00:09:53I wouldn't trust her.

00:09:55Well, I'm not so sure I trust her,

00:09:57but I'd just like to know what's going on here.

00:10:00Here's a double team,

00:10:01and you're talking about pulling off

00:10:04and cracking someone.

00:10:05Sherry, nail rock-a-rock being held that time.

00:10:10Did Colonel Parker see that right hook?

00:10:12I'm sure he's seen it before.

00:10:14He better watch the replay before he takes the vows.

00:10:16I would agree with that.

00:10:18Watch out on the inside now.

00:10:20Stevie Ray will roll him in.

00:10:21The World Tag Team Champions here,

00:10:23Colonel Parker.

00:10:24Yeah, he saw it.

00:10:25Patting Sherry right on the shoulder.

00:10:27He better be nice.

00:10:28One, two.

00:10:29Got a two count there, and that is all.

00:10:31I tell you, they got a winning combination, Harlem Heat.

00:10:34These guys are just machines in there.

00:10:36Picture perfect ring positioning.

00:10:38Good tags back and forth.

00:10:40Public enemy started off physical,

00:10:42but the Harlem Heat, they brought them to a dead stop.

00:10:48Fans are getting behind this public enemy duo here.

00:10:51They did not hold the belts for long.

00:10:53A good look at Nick Patrick.

00:10:55And I talked about the look on his face.

00:10:57Which has changed drastically.

00:10:59He gets booed lustily every time he comes to the ring by fans,

00:11:03and that's deservedly so.

00:11:05What do you mean deservedly so?

00:11:07I think so.

00:11:08Here's a guy that's been humiliated.

00:11:10He's afraid to make a decision.

00:11:11He's going strictly by the book.

00:11:13He's even working with a bad neck.

00:11:15He could be home collecting insurance, but no.

00:11:17He's a trooper.

00:11:19Well, that's a good way to put it,

00:11:21but after you hear the interview I conducted with him,

00:11:24you may, fans, you may not agree with the legend here.

00:11:27That wouldn't be the first time either.

00:11:29Here's the tag.

00:11:31Well, see, look at that.

00:11:32That was Stevie Ray right there.

00:11:34Beautiful move.

00:11:35Distracted Patrick.

00:11:37But look at that.

00:11:38He take advantage of it.

00:11:40Pounding Rocko Rock down in a heap

00:11:43at the base of the turnbuckles here on Nitro.

00:11:48Good to have you with us live as we come to you as always

00:11:51here on TNT each and every Monday night.

00:11:54Rocko Rock desperately trying to get to his corner,

00:11:56cut off by a front chancery.

00:11:58I've been told, I've been told now by our production truck,

00:12:03the NWO has arrived.

00:12:05They are here.

00:12:07They are in the arena here somewhere.

00:12:09I can smell them.

00:12:10I can smell them.

00:12:11I know they're here somewhere.

00:12:12There they are.

00:12:14The odors coming from up there.

00:12:19The Outsiders hauling Nash, Ted DiBiase, Vincent.

00:12:23What?

00:12:24They got a microphone.

00:12:25Hey, yo.

00:12:26What?

00:12:27Harlem Heat, you two hillbillies,

00:12:31you want some of the Outsiders, Chico, you're going to get it.

00:12:38Yeah, in a couple of weeks, Slim Jim Halloween Havoc,

00:12:43we're going to snap into them belts of yours.

00:12:47Ch-ch-ch-ah-ah-ah.

00:12:50Ch-ch-ch-ah-ah-ah.

00:12:53It's Halloween Havoc, Chico.

00:12:55It's going to be awful scary.

00:12:58And I know why they wear these things on their nose now,

00:13:01because I can smell the fear.

00:13:05Yo, Heat, the time is running.

00:13:10But don't forget, boys, you can smell the fear,

00:13:13but I can smell the money and those belts.

00:13:16Hey, Heat, Halloween Havoc, it's going to get real, real hot.

00:13:24Typical NWO style here.

00:13:26How did they get out of our frequency?

00:13:28I have no idea.

00:13:29We're going to get you.

00:13:30Ready or not, here we come.

00:13:34We're going to get you.

00:13:36You know, it looks like they're doing their best

00:13:38to try to distract the Heat, but I don't think it's working.

00:13:40We're going to get you.

00:13:43Very intimidating.

00:13:44There you see Six up there as well.

00:13:47See you at Havoc, boys.

00:13:49The NWO in the building making a statement.

00:13:56And a big clothesline from Booker T.

00:13:59Making a statement, but trying to do it deliberately

00:14:01during a Harlem Heats match.

00:14:03No question.

00:14:04May have been smart thinking, but oh, he missed him.

00:14:07He did miss him, and you brought up a good point, Larry.

00:14:09It appeared as if Harlem Heat did not let that bother them at all.

00:14:12No, they didn't.

00:14:13I was proud of them, but still a little off focus.

00:14:15Booker T. went down, too.

00:14:18You know, when I see them up there,

00:14:20and I think about how they are a cohesive group,

00:14:22and you can't deny that the NWO is very cohesive,

00:14:25but it makes me think that WCW, we've talked about this so much,

00:14:29is without a leader ever since Sting became the lone wolf.

00:14:33Ever since Sting, basically, we haven't seen him

00:14:35since right after Fall Brawl when he walked

00:14:37and made himself a free agent.

00:14:39WCW does not have that leader.

00:14:41We tried to make amends with Sting last week,

00:14:43painting a car, making it the Sting WCW car in his honor,

00:14:48WCW motorsports car, but we have still not seen him.

00:14:52Well, then that was a big mistake.

00:14:54We've got to give Sting a car because he walked out

00:14:56and left Luger.

00:14:57He's given a temper tantrum.

00:14:59I mean, if you're a teenager through a temper tantrum,

00:15:02would you buy him a car, or would you pop him in the mouth?

00:15:05Well, you know, say what you want to say.

00:15:07We need Sting in WCW.

00:15:09You've got to agree with that.

00:15:10We need a leader.

00:15:11Sting, Macho Man, Flair, anybody.

00:15:14Somebody with the guts, with the management,

00:15:17you know, mentality.

00:15:19Oh!

00:15:20Oh, he fell off the turnbuckle.

00:15:22And he hit the table.

00:15:25Look it, they got grunge right in that bad knee.

00:15:27It was a clip.

00:15:28Look at that.

00:15:29He hit his head on that table.

00:15:30Woo!

00:15:32And a clip from behind the head of the chair.

00:15:35That bad knee.

00:15:38Oh, they're driving it down across the knee again.

00:15:42Look at Parker.

00:15:43I can hear him say, break it, break it.

00:15:46That's what they're trying to do here.

00:15:49They're trying to end his career.

00:15:52Trying to get rid of the public enemy once and for all.

00:15:55This could be it.

00:15:58They've got the knee.

00:15:59Oh, they're driving the chair across the knee of Johnny Grunge.

00:16:04He won't be able to get up.

00:16:08It's all academic now.

00:16:09One, two, three.

00:16:10Not only can he not get up, he's not going to be able to walk.

00:16:19I told you.

00:16:20I told you.

00:16:21This is definitely a triumph for the Harlem Heat,

00:16:24the new world owner.

00:16:26Trying to chest move here.

00:16:28Trying to unfocus him.

00:16:30Couldn't do it.

00:16:31We do understand a limousine has pulled up outside.

00:16:35The cameraman is out there.

00:16:36I understand.

00:16:38There you see the limousine.

00:16:40That can mean only one thing.

00:16:43The NWO now.

00:16:45Is this Hulk Hogan?

00:16:46We've seen the other members of the NWO inside.

00:16:49And who is this coming out?

00:16:51I can't tell from here.

00:16:53Oh, my.

00:16:54That's Jeff Jarrett.

00:16:56I got something to say.

00:16:57Jeff Jarrett says he's got something to say,

00:17:00and he's arrived on Nitro.

00:17:03Fans, don't go away.

00:17:05Jeff Jarrett.

00:17:06What's he doing here?

00:17:07Is he with the NWO?

00:17:08Came out of the black limit.

00:17:09Yes.

00:17:11Welcome back to WCW Monday Nitro.

00:17:13We're going to take you back to WCW Saturday night on TBS.

00:17:16I had a chance to talk to Nick Patrick.

00:17:18Some very startling comments he made.

00:17:21Take a listen to senior referee Nick Patrick.

00:17:25Now, I'm out here.

00:17:26This is going to be a shock to the world

00:17:28because I am going to take control here,

00:17:31and I'm going to bring law and order back to WCW,

00:17:34and I'm going to do it by making this move right here, right now.

00:17:39The largest fine ever levied in any professional sports

00:17:44is right now being levied against the macho man Randy Savage

00:17:48for placing his hands upon me.

00:17:51$1 million is the fine that I am setting down

00:17:56on macho man Randy Savage for putting his hands on me,

00:18:00and I am also pushing for him to be suspended.

00:18:04Now, I've been assured by my lawyers

00:18:06that I have a very, very good case,

00:18:10and I suggest that WCW back me up on this

00:18:14because if you'll notice, there was one announcer out here

00:18:18that stirred up a lot of trouble and spread a lot of lies

00:18:21and a lot of rumors about me,

00:18:23and if you'll notice, that man's not here anymore, is he?

00:18:28Those comments from Nick Patrick,

00:18:30and let me say this in response to what Nick Patrick had to say.

00:18:34There. There you see.

00:18:38I don't really know.

00:18:40I know the macho man is probably going to get some sort of fine,

00:18:43but $1 million to me is off its feet.

00:18:45I don't think he's going to get that pushed through.

00:18:47You know, $1 million fine, that could explain, again,

00:18:49the end of Elizabeth's alimony,

00:18:51why she's making deals with the new world owner

00:18:54and accepting movie parts from Hollywood Hogan.

00:18:57But at least Nick Patrick made a stand.

00:19:00He's a man taking a position of leadership.

00:19:03He's doing something about it.

00:19:06Well, and you know I would agree with that,

00:19:08but let me also raise this question, if I can.

00:19:10Coming up Sunday, October 27th,

00:19:13Slim Jim's Halloween Hunting live at the MGM Grand Garden Arena

00:19:17in Las Vegas on The Strip.

00:19:19It is, without a doubt, undeniably,

00:19:22the biggest night in the history of the Macho Man Randy Savage,

00:19:25the biggest night ever for WCW,

00:19:27the most important world title match ever.

00:19:29And why would senior official Nick Patrick,

00:19:32if he says WCW is number one, and he has said that before,

00:19:36why would he want to suspend the Macho Man

00:19:39before this all-important match?

00:19:41Nick Patrick is going by the book.

00:19:43He has no choice.

00:19:45Macho Man stepped over the rule book,

00:19:48and somebody has to make a stand.

00:19:51If the new world owner steps over it,

00:19:53I expect Nick Patrick to take a stand against them, too,

00:19:56but Macho Man's the one that grabbed an injured official.

00:20:02True or false?

00:20:04Are you sticking up for this guy?

00:20:06He wants to pull.

00:20:07He wants to make it easy for Hulk Hogan

00:20:09to walk through Slim Jim's Halloween Havoc

00:20:12while retaining the world title.

00:20:13Look at Savage's mental condition.

00:20:15He may be doing WCW the biggest favor.

00:20:18We can get a man in there who's in control of his faculties.

00:20:21Where's Sting when you need him?

00:20:24We have not seen Sting since the 16th of September 1996.

00:20:31Going on a month now.

00:20:32The lone wolf, the free agent.

00:20:35Ladies and gentlemen, Diamond Dallas.

00:20:40And Jim Powers in this matchup.

00:20:42Diamond Dallas, a man who has to go up against Eddie Guerrero,

00:20:47a match that will be, as far as Eddie is concerned,

00:20:49for family and for honor.

00:20:53Whoa.

00:20:54Watch out.

00:20:55Yeah, Powers is a power-packed guy.

00:20:57I mean, you got to watch the positioning.

00:20:59Diamond, tall guy, about 6'5".

00:21:01Again, you can't underestimate Page.

00:21:03This man knows what he's doing.

00:21:05Powers has a test on his hands right now.

00:21:07Look at Diamond, for being as tall as he is,

00:21:09still got underneath that arm.

00:21:11Well, I'm dragging twists.

00:21:12Remember, if you will, back in August,

00:21:14Clash of the Champions on TBS Live from Denver,

00:21:16Diamond Dallas lost to Eddie Guerrero.

00:21:18Eddie won the Battle Bull Championship ring.

00:21:21But Diamond left with the ring.

00:21:23As a matter of fact, we have some pre-recorded comments

00:21:25from Diamond Dallas recorded before the match here tonight.

00:21:28Let's listen in to DDP.

00:21:30Hey, Eddie.

00:21:31Oh, Eddie.

00:21:32Yeah, I'm talking to you, burrito boy.

00:21:35Take a good look.

00:21:36See the butt-kicking that's happening right now,

00:21:40because that's what DDP's got in store for you.

00:21:45I don't care if you've recuperated

00:21:47from the diamond-cutting I put on you

00:21:49with the Clash of Champions.

00:21:51I don't need a Halloween Havoc, burrito boy.

00:21:54DDP's gonna put something on you

00:21:56that Ajax won't take off.

00:21:59Bang!

00:22:01Oh!

00:22:02And Jim Powers almost put it on Diamond Dallas right there.

00:22:05He's claiming.

00:22:06Watch out, another roll-up.

00:22:07One, two.

00:22:08A lot of confidence in Diamond Dallas,

00:22:10but Eddie has more than confidence.

00:22:12He has determination.

00:22:13He's got about 10,000 Guerrero relatives is what he got,

00:22:16and none of them can get the job done

00:22:18against Diamond Dallas Page.

00:22:19You keep your eye on Diamond.

00:22:21I've been watching him lately.

00:22:22He has evolved about 1,000 different ways

00:22:25to put that diamond cutter on you,

00:22:27doing an excellent job of preparing himself

00:22:30for Eddie Guerrero.

00:22:31No question about it.

00:22:32Diamond Dallas Page is always prepared

00:22:34one way or the other.

00:22:35But so is Jim Powers.

00:22:36One, two.

00:22:38A two-count.

00:22:39Jim Powers, Teddy Long, his mentor.

00:22:41Teddy has meant so much to this man's career.

00:22:43Not only powerful and quick, but determined as well.

00:22:47Hey, hey!

00:22:48Look at that.

00:22:49Right out of the fold.

00:22:50Nelson Swerd powers around and diamond-cutting him.

00:22:53This could be it.

00:22:54I think it is.

00:22:55How awesome is that diamond cutter?

00:22:57You saw some evidence right there.

00:22:59One, two, three.

00:23:00I was just talking about how Diamond can put it on

00:23:02from 1,000 different angles,

00:23:03and that's the key to his success so far.

00:23:06Ladies and gentlemen,

00:23:07we have still not seen anything from Jeff Jarrett.

00:23:10Jeff Jarrett did arrive, as you saw moments before.

00:23:13Oh, he kicks Teddy Long down.

00:23:15Uh-oh.

00:23:16Moments before the commercial break.

00:23:19What are you talking about?

00:23:20You didn't beat the man.

00:23:24See, look at Patrick's right there to break it up.

00:23:28He didn't do a thing.

00:23:30Nothing.

00:23:31He was ready.

00:23:33Hey, Diamond knows

00:23:34he could have got a million-dollar fine.

00:23:36No one's gonna mess around with Patrick in the ring now

00:23:38after fining Macho Man a million bucks.

00:23:41True or false?

00:23:42A little argument going on here with Teddy Long

00:23:44and Nick Patrick.

00:23:45Let's take a look at the replay again, Larry.

00:23:47Right here, Diamond.

00:23:48Look at full Nelson.

00:23:49Jim Powers had no idea

00:23:50he was gonna get reversed into a diamond cutter.

00:23:53Good combination of moves again.

00:23:55Diamond Dallas ready for Eddie Guerrero.

00:23:59Ladies and gentlemen,

00:24:00we know the NWO is here.

00:24:01We have seen Jeff Jarrett arrive,

00:24:03but nothing since then.

00:24:05Ladies and gentlemen,

00:24:06you come on back with us.

00:24:08Mike Tenet will talk

00:24:10with the Macho Man Randy Savage

00:24:12and great tag team matches

00:24:13due to come on TNT.

00:24:15Stay with us.

00:24:16But DiBiase bought another sheet.

00:24:22Welcome back, everyone,

00:24:23to Monday Nitro,

00:24:24and ladies and gentlemen,

00:24:25would you please welcome

00:24:27the Macho Man, Randy Savage!

00:24:30Randy Savage!

00:24:55Randy Savage,

00:24:57the big one upcoming.

00:24:59Slim Jim's Halloween Havoc

00:25:01against Hulk Hogan,

00:25:02October the 27th.

00:25:04Tonight, the second hour of Nitro.

00:25:06Main event matchup with Ric Flair.

00:25:08But I understand

00:25:09that you spent this past weekend

00:25:11in Ric Flair's hometown

00:25:12of Charlotte, North Carolina.

00:25:14Yes, I did.

00:25:15Let me have the microphone.

00:25:17Right here is a friend of mine,

00:25:19Jason Keller,

00:25:21number 57,

00:25:22the driver of the Slim Jim

00:25:24Halloween Havoc race car.

00:25:27And Jason,

00:25:28for the last couple of weeks out here,

00:25:30the NWO, the New World Order,

00:25:32have been going crazy, yeah.

00:25:34And they've been saying

00:25:36that at Charlotte Speedway

00:25:37this last Saturday

00:25:38that they were gonna run over everybody

00:25:40and they were gonna win the race.

00:25:41They got a race car driver

00:25:43named Patty,

00:25:45supposed to be a real famous family,

00:25:47and I just wanted to ask you, Jason,

00:25:49at Charlotte at the Speedway,

00:25:51how did the NWO car do?

00:25:54The only thing they hit was the wall.

00:25:56They didn't do too good.

00:25:57They hit the wall!

00:25:59Did they finish the race?

00:26:01Didn't even finish the race.

00:26:02Let me ask you a question, Jason.

00:26:04The Slim Jim Halloween Havoc car,

00:26:07number 57,

00:26:09you didn't hit the wall, did you?

00:26:12No, we had a pretty good day

00:26:13and we didn't hit the wall,

00:26:14that's for sure.

00:26:15You finished the race?

00:26:16Oh, yeah, every lap.

00:26:18Did you finish in the top 25, Jason?

00:26:22Come on, Macho, you were there with us,

00:26:23you know what happened.

00:26:24They finished in the top 25,

00:26:26isn't that great?

00:26:27Oh, yeah!

00:26:29Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:26:31Did they finish in the top 20, Jason?

00:26:34Give me a little credit there, Macho,

00:26:35you were there, you know we did.

00:26:37Unbelievable!

00:26:39They finished in the top 20,

00:26:40isn't that great?

00:26:41I'm impressed, I'm impressed!

00:26:42All right, I want to go crazy right now,

00:26:44did you finish in the top 15?

00:26:46Man, we did that too.

00:26:48They did it!

00:26:49Praise the big Macho man in the sky!

00:26:51They finished in the top 15,

00:26:53isn't that great?

00:26:54We're gonna party.

00:26:55We're gonna party all night long.

00:26:56Okay, did they finish in the top 12?

00:26:59Did that too now, we did it too.

00:27:01The Slim Jim Halloween Havoc car

00:27:04finished in the top 12.

00:27:05Jason, tell me exactly where you finished.

00:27:09Well, we had a good day

00:27:10and we ended up finishing 10th.

00:27:12Wait, I gotta ask you a question, Jason.

00:27:14Number 57, my friend.

00:27:16Yeah, what's up with you now?

00:27:18Well, we're gonna take the Slim Jim Halloween Havoc car

00:27:20to Rockingham in a couple weeks.

00:27:22Unlike the NWO guys, we're gonna show up,

00:27:24we're gonna be there,

00:27:25and we're gonna do a lot better there

00:27:26than we did at Charlotte.

00:27:27Exactly, and at MGM,

00:27:29at Slim Jim's Halloween Havoc,

00:27:32you Hollywood Hulk Hogan,

00:27:34it's gonna be the end.

00:27:36You're gonna crash and burn

00:27:38just like the NWO car.

00:27:40Yes, you are.

00:27:41Do you understand?

00:27:42You've gotta talk to me.

00:27:44You've gotta let me explain, okay?

00:27:46No way.

00:27:47What's done is done.

00:27:48Save it.

00:27:51Now let's go to the ring

00:27:52for tag team action on Monday Nitro.

00:27:54Dave Penzer.

00:27:55Oh, my goodness.

00:27:56Would you look at this, Miss Elizabeth?

00:27:58Well, here, here for Macho.

00:28:00At least he dumped her like a man.

00:28:02There is something on her mind

00:28:04that she needs to say,

00:28:05and I don't know if we're gonna

00:28:07hear her out here in this program or not.

00:28:09Let me guess.

00:28:10Does it begin with an A,

00:28:11like alimony?

00:28:13Does she need more?

00:28:14You know, let me make a retraction.

00:28:16I thought Kyle Sweaty had some class last week.

00:28:19I guess he does, but it's all low.

00:28:21I bet Mr. Sweaty doesn't know how to drive

00:28:23for the NWO.

00:28:25Well, what goes around comes around,

00:28:28and sometimes it's the law.

00:28:30As you can tell in auto racing.

00:28:33High voltage.

00:28:34Two young men,

00:28:35a product of the WCW power plant,

00:28:39and two men who have been very successful,

00:28:41and really, as the old cliche goes,

00:28:43it really applies to these two men,

00:28:45moving up the ranks

00:28:46in world championship wrestling.

00:28:48Well, these guys are supercharged.

00:28:49I mean, they're on high energy.

00:28:51No question about it.

00:28:52They're psyched.

00:28:53They're pumped.

00:28:54They're ready to go,

00:28:55but experience is one thing

00:28:56that even high voltage

00:28:58and all the watts in the world

00:29:00can't compete with,

00:29:02and the faces of fear

00:29:03have experience and power.

00:29:06They have all that, Larry.

00:29:07You're exactly right.

00:29:08And the faces of fear,

00:29:09namely Ming and the Barbarian.

00:29:11But don't forget the big name

00:29:13that's walking out with them right there,

00:29:15mental giant and master player

00:29:18of human chess,

00:29:20Mr. Jimmy Hart.

00:29:23Is that kind of a long way

00:29:24to call him an instigator?

00:29:26Sort of.

00:29:27Yeah, that's what he is.

00:29:29The faces of fear

00:29:30and high voltage in our next matchup.

00:29:33Ladies and gentlemen,

00:29:34as you heard from Macho Man Randy Savage,

00:29:37he will be going up

00:29:38against the Nature Boy Ric Flair.

00:29:39Apparently, there's something very urgent

00:29:41Miss Elizabeth wants to tell him

00:29:43before that match takes place.

00:29:45And where is Jeff Jarrett?

00:29:47He arrived moments ago.

00:29:49We have not seen him.

00:29:50He came in a black limousine,

00:29:52characteristic of the NWO,

00:29:54but still no Jeff Jarrett

00:29:56has appeared as of yet.

00:29:57But we do know

00:29:58that DiBiase, the Outsiders are here.

00:30:01Vincent is here with him.

00:30:02Six is here.

00:30:03We haven't seen Hollywood Hogan as of yet,

00:30:05but we are on alert as always

00:30:07for any attack by this new world order.

00:30:10Here we go.

00:30:11Talk about an attack right there.

00:30:13Faces of fear.

00:30:14They didn't waste any time on high voltage.

00:30:17Ladies and gentlemen,

00:30:18I have been told just now

00:30:20by our producers in the truck

00:30:22that Jeff Jarrett will wrestle here tonight.

00:30:25He is gonna make his wrestling debut

00:30:27with World Championship Wrestling

00:30:29a little bit later on in this telecast.

00:30:31He's wrestling tonight?

00:30:32He's wrestling tonight.

00:30:33He'll be coming up in our second hour.

00:30:35How come the truck only talks to you?

00:30:38Well, that's the way it goes.

00:30:40Oh, and Ming ran into one,

00:30:42but I don't know if it fazed him that much.

00:30:46The mammoth Ming

00:30:48and Chaos going at it.

00:30:50Sending Chaos in.

00:30:52Oh, look at it.

00:30:53Nothing.

00:30:54The clothesline had no effect

00:30:56and still has no effect on Ming.

00:30:58Look at Ming, he even throws his weight into it.

00:31:00Double dropkick, and he still won't go down.

00:31:03And look at this, if you will.

00:31:05Chris Benoit, who later in the second hour

00:31:07wrestles Rick Steiner

00:31:09and Steve Michael McMichael,

00:31:11his lovely wife Debra, out looking.

00:31:13There's the briefcase that ended the night

00:31:15for Rick Steiner last week.

00:31:16And these two men have a big task ahead of them

00:31:20against the Faces of Fear,

00:31:21what can only be considered as a tag team collision

00:31:25at Slim Jones Halloween Havoc

00:31:26live at the MGM Grand.

00:31:28Well, they better watch these men, Faces of Fear.

00:31:31Again, big, tough individuals.

00:31:33Ming, Barbarian, over 300 pounds apiece.

00:31:37They better study their opponents.

00:31:39A little intimidation.

00:31:40You know, we saw some intimidation of Hylabeet

00:31:43earlier on in this telecast.

00:31:47You know, Steve McMichael, the type of guy

00:31:49that is just like Benoit.

00:31:51They are afraid of no one.

00:31:53And that's very important going up against the Faces of Fear.

00:31:56They work on intimidation themselves.

00:31:58Well, fear is something to have respect for,

00:32:00but one thing about McMichaels and Benoit

00:32:03is they're winners.

00:32:05They're winners.

00:32:06Their fear is fear of losing,

00:32:08and the fear of losing does not exist

00:32:11in the heart of a champion.

00:32:15The Barbarian and Ming

00:32:18hooks the arm through.

00:32:22Picks up Rage.

00:32:24Drives him to the mat.

00:32:28One, two, says Mark Curtis.

00:32:30Whoa, he let him up.

00:32:31I wonder if Jimmy Hart's happy about that.

00:32:34I imagine where the salt will say,

00:32:36pin him when you got him.

00:32:39Not so sure Jimmy Hart's even paying attention.

00:32:42Well, that's confidence in your team.

00:32:44Is that what that is?

00:32:45When you're managing the Faces of Fear,

00:32:47not necessary to look over their shoulder.

00:32:51Well, I would agree with that.

00:32:53I mean, as good as these two youngsters are,

00:32:55high voltage, and they are fine tag team wrestlers

00:32:58and great athletes,

00:33:00they are really having a tough time

00:33:02because these two are the strongest

00:33:03and most feared men in our sport.

00:33:05Look at this, great exchange,

00:33:06back and forth, great tag teamwork

00:33:08from these two awesome men,

00:33:09the Barbarian and Ming.

00:33:11Boy, right, they're awesome men with leadership.

00:33:14WCW had a leader.

00:33:16Jimmy Hart could be a leader

00:33:17if people would listen to him

00:33:19and go against the New World Order.

00:33:21Yeah, the leader is Sting, and where is he?

00:33:23Well, a leader who's invisible

00:33:25doesn't lead very well, does he?

00:33:27Haven't heard anything from him.

00:33:29You know, in the last couple of weeks,

00:33:30I've asked Lex Luger about Sting.

00:33:32Where is Sting?

00:33:33Have you talked to him?

00:33:34Luger, first of all, two weeks ago,

00:33:35said, I'm gonna give him some space.

00:33:37There's a save nicely done by Chaos.

00:33:39And then he said, well,

00:33:41apparently he'd need a little bit more space

00:33:43than I originally thought.

00:33:44I'll give him some space.

00:33:45How about the lunar surface?

00:33:47The foot for the Barbarian, right on target.

00:33:50On range, cover one, cover two, three.

00:33:53They got him.

00:33:55You don't want to jump on the face of the fear

00:33:58unless maybe you're members of the Horsemen

00:34:00and you fear no men.

00:34:02Look at this, sending Chaos out,

00:34:04and now Rage out with him.

00:34:05He is hard on the floor.

00:34:07Yeah, well, Benoit McMichaels,

00:34:08we're out scouting.

00:34:09Smart thing to do.

00:34:10They're gonna have their hands full

00:34:12because Ming and the Barbarian,

00:34:13these guys trying on torturing people.

00:34:16And look at him, Jimmy Hart,

00:34:18mastermind of the New World Order.

00:34:21And look at him, Jimmy Hart,

00:34:23mastermind.

00:34:24Take my word for it.

00:34:25Here it is again, Larry Zabiskiel.

00:34:27Look at the power of Ming.

00:34:28Just bends the man over, hooks him,

00:34:30picks him up like a piece of paper,

00:34:32dumps him, extends.

00:34:34Look at the extension of Ming's legs.

00:34:36Puts all the weight on his shoulders,

00:34:38and again, canapults him

00:34:40right into the soul of the Barbarian.

00:34:43Ladies and gentlemen,

00:34:44still to come in this telecast,

00:34:45as we've said before,

00:35:49as we head into

00:35:50our most important event.

00:35:52We want to remind you,

00:35:53you still at this moment

00:35:54have a chance to call

00:35:56your local cable operator

00:35:57or DirecTV or Turner Premier

00:35:59for satellite dish owners

00:36:01to get Slim Jim's

00:36:02Halloween Havoc

00:36:03live at the MGM Grand

00:36:06coming to Las Vegas

00:36:08on Sunday, October 27th.

00:36:10Mike Winner has a very

00:36:13tough task ahead of him

00:36:14because he will face a man

00:36:16who has been very,

00:36:17very impressive,

00:36:18a man who has brought

00:36:19a new style to our sport,

00:36:21a man who's caught

00:36:22in the imagination

00:36:23of youngsters and adults alike.

00:36:25We're talking about Glacier, Larry.

00:36:26Yeah, a very impressive individual

00:36:28and a man that has

00:36:29a lot of intrigue around him.

00:36:31A lot of these wrestlers

00:36:32don't know how to approach

00:36:34the style of Glacier.

00:36:36Could be an interesting matchup.

00:36:40Look at these lights.

00:36:42Glacier beams everywhere.

00:36:48Listen to the roar

00:36:49of the fans for Glacier.

00:36:53There's a lot of history alone

00:36:55in just the helmet he wears.

00:36:59That helmet's been

00:37:00over 300 years old.

00:37:06Pass down from sensei to sensei.

00:37:09And Glacier has brought

00:37:11his style, combination

00:37:13of martial arts

00:37:14and wrestling style here

00:37:16to the wars of world

00:37:18championship wrestling.

00:37:21He also brings his own blizzard.

00:37:23You gotta wrestle this guy

00:37:24with snow boots.

00:37:26No question about it.

00:37:27The most spectacular entrance

00:37:29and certainly in the ring

00:37:31are the most spectacular styles

00:37:32you'll ever want to find.

00:37:33It's a unique style.

00:37:35It's complicated to deal with

00:37:37because it's a combination

00:37:38of fluid movement

00:37:40with the hard, fast, direct styles.

00:37:43And to combat that,

00:37:45you've got to be an expert

00:37:47in both soft and hard styles.

00:37:50Otherwise, you're gonna run

00:37:51into one or the other.

00:37:52Glacier's combined them.

00:37:53Makes them hard to handle

00:37:55unless you're an expert

00:37:56of the same caliber.

00:37:59And that's a good point.

00:38:00Through the years in our sport,

00:38:01we have had many competitors

00:38:02who have studied the martial arts,

00:38:04but not many styles.

00:38:06And they've been very easy

00:38:07to defend against.

00:38:08Glacier is not like that.

00:38:09Very difficult to wrestle.

00:38:10Very unorthodox because

00:38:12of the different styles

00:38:13that he's learned.

00:38:14Even the kata move is right.

00:38:15Here's a combination

00:38:16of some hard to right there

00:38:18direct straight out styles,

00:38:20spinning of the Korean styles.

00:38:22But you're right.

00:38:23A lot of guys would use

00:38:24martial arts to complement

00:38:25their wrestling ability,

00:38:26but would stick to one style.

00:38:28Not Glacier.

00:38:29He's combined them all.

00:38:31And Glacier awaits Mike Winter

00:38:35to get in the ring.

00:38:37Ever since he's arrived

00:38:38in world championship wrestling,

00:38:40he has dominated.

00:38:42And this entrance,

00:38:43as much as anything else,

00:38:44very intimidating for anyone.

00:38:47And Mike Winter very tentatively

00:38:49gets in the ring.

00:38:50A good look at Glacier.

00:38:52And here we go.

00:38:53Undefeated in world championship

00:38:55wrestling.

00:38:56But more than just that,

00:38:57overwhelming the opponents.

00:38:59Mark Curtis, the referee.

00:39:01Bounce the referee.

00:39:02And here we go.

00:39:03And still the snow coming down.

00:39:05Again, another significance

00:39:06of the martial arts,

00:39:07putting your fist behind your hand.

00:39:08Oh!

00:39:09Look at right there.

00:39:10A simple little takedown,

00:39:11a version of a Kido,

00:39:13just going against the way

00:39:15the joints are meant to bend.

00:39:16Nice leg sweep!

00:39:18Boy, you don't stay on your feet

00:39:20long around this guy.

00:39:22Not at all.

00:39:23What type of defense do you have?

00:39:25Because you know you're gonna

00:39:26be on the defense

00:39:27when you're going up

00:39:28against this guy.

00:39:29I'm saying you gotta be

00:39:30very, very good.

00:39:31Again, Winter rushed into a man

00:39:33who just hit him with

00:39:34a beautiful leg sweep.

00:39:35Didn't know what to expect

00:39:36because Glacier could hit him

00:39:37with anything.

00:39:38Something soft, fluid,

00:39:39you know, hard in the face

00:39:40or move out of the way

00:39:41like he did in almost

00:39:42a drop tall,

00:39:43which was combining martial arts

00:39:44with a nice wrestling maneuver.

00:39:46One, two, three!

00:39:49Winter's trying to pin him

00:39:50into a corner here,

00:39:51and that may be the best thing

00:39:52to do is get him in there.

00:39:54Don't get him out

00:39:55in the center of the ring.

00:39:56Well, I would say

00:39:57take him on the mat

00:39:58on his feet.

00:39:59Glacier's just got

00:40:00superb movement.

00:40:01Great balance

00:40:02combined with that as well.

00:40:04Winter, look at this.

00:40:05Look at how he tumbles

00:40:06through that one.

00:40:07He tried to throw him,

00:40:08but Glacier uses all momentum

00:40:09to come on top.

00:40:10To the top.

00:40:13Boy, it's hard to compete

00:40:14with that.

00:40:15Winter had no idea

00:40:16where he was going,

00:40:17and when he found out

00:40:18his foot was in his face,

00:40:19it was too late.

00:40:20It was a back kick

00:40:21right to Winter now.

00:40:23How about that?

00:40:24Again, combination

00:40:25wrestling move right there.

00:40:27Winter's expected

00:40:28maybe a martial arts attack.

00:40:29Glacier flips him right over.

00:40:32Picks him up

00:40:33kind of like a side salto,

00:40:34and Glacier now

00:40:36with momentum

00:40:37off of the ropes.

00:40:38Uh-oh.

00:40:40Kicks him right

00:40:41through the ropes,

00:40:42and Mike Winter

00:40:43having some problems

00:40:44with Glacier,

00:40:45but that is nothing new

00:40:46in our sport.

00:40:47Everyone has had problems

00:40:48with him.

00:40:49It's hard to wrestle, man,

00:40:50if you can't grab him.

00:40:51Glacier, uh,

00:40:53he's tough to grab.

00:40:54He's got hay.

00:40:55First high risk.

00:40:56We've seen him.

00:40:57He's not afraid to do that.

00:40:59First time we've seen that

00:41:00from Glacier,

00:41:01a high-risk maneuver.

00:41:02Using the ropes

00:41:03and the springboard

00:41:04inside out,

00:41:05and now sending Winter

00:41:06back in.

00:41:07You know, at least

00:41:08he's thinking in there.

00:41:09He doesn't want to give

00:41:10the opponent time

00:41:11to recuperate.

00:41:12Throws him back in the ring.

00:41:13Look at the stance.

00:41:14That's gonna put

00:41:15spin on him.

00:41:16Side kick.

00:41:17Took him down.

00:41:18Right on target.

00:41:19One, two, three.

00:41:20Everything he does

00:41:24with precision.

00:41:26Glacier is awesome.

00:41:27He'd have to be an expert

00:41:28just by looking

00:41:29at the man's stance,

00:41:30the way he was standing

00:41:31right there

00:41:32with his balance.

00:41:33You knew a spin thrust

00:41:34was coming,

00:41:35and, boy, what momentum

00:41:36he brought

00:41:37right underneath

00:41:38the chin of Winter,

00:41:39and Winter,

00:41:40I hope he's got

00:41:41his dental paid up.

00:41:44Glacier gets the win

00:41:46and rules the ring

00:41:47in World Championship Wrestling

00:41:49in a short span.

00:41:51The combination of styles

00:41:52that you talked about,

00:41:53very difficult to defend against,

00:41:55very unorthodox,

00:41:57but also on the offensive,

00:41:59he is Mr. Excitement.

00:42:03Mr. Discipline, too.

00:42:05That's right.

00:42:06In order to achieve

00:42:07that type of combinations

00:42:08of forms from Kung Fu

00:42:10to Okinawa

00:42:11and to Korean,

00:42:13you need a lot of discipline,

00:42:14and that's why I think

00:42:16he's wearing that

00:42:17old helmet, Tony.

00:42:18It has to do with

00:42:19becoming the chosen one.

00:42:23All right, ladies and gentlemen,

00:42:24as you can see,

00:42:25we are beginning

00:42:27the countdown

00:42:29to hour number two,

00:42:30and in hour number two,

00:42:32it is going to be

00:42:33nothing less than a dandy,

00:42:35if I can use that old

00:42:36cliche.

00:42:37Yeah, that was real old.

00:42:38What's the story

00:42:39with Jeff Jarrett now?

00:42:40We're going to find out.

00:42:41He's going to be wrestling

00:42:42in hour number two,

00:42:43plus nature boy Ric Flair

00:42:44against the macho man

00:42:46Randy Savage,

00:42:49We've got about 30 seconds

00:42:50to go until hour number two

00:42:52begins with Eric,

00:42:53Mike Tenay,

00:42:54and Bobby the Brain Heaton,

00:42:55plus we know

00:42:56the NWO is here,

00:42:58Rick Steiner,

00:42:59Chris Benoit,

00:43:00a return match,

00:43:01a lot going on,

00:43:02a lot has happened already,

00:43:04and what another

00:43:05impressive win

00:43:06by Glacier here

00:43:07on Nitro.

00:43:08Yeah, it was a good win.

00:43:09Of course, Scott Steiner's

00:43:10here to back his brother up

00:43:11this week.

00:43:12All right,

00:43:13as we start

00:43:14our 10-second countdown,

00:43:15we take you to

00:43:16hour number two

00:43:19and Bobby the Brain Heaton.

00:43:21Welcome to the second hour

00:43:24WCW Monday Nitro

00:43:27here on TNT.

00:43:33And what a second hour

00:43:34we have.

00:43:36The macho man

00:43:37Randy Savage,

00:43:39the nature boy

00:43:40Ric Flair,

00:43:41NWO is in the house,

00:43:43and the winner

00:43:44of this week's

00:43:4510-second countdown

00:43:47is Eric Bishop.

00:43:49NWO is in the house,

00:43:51and yes,

00:43:52the question

00:43:53regarding Jeff Jarrett.

00:43:58We will find out tonight.

00:43:59Apparently,

00:44:00Jeff Jarrett,

00:44:01a part of the NWO,

00:44:04their league,

00:44:06keeps getting bigger.

00:44:07We'll be back with more action

00:44:08right after this.

00:44:15All right, welcome back.

00:44:17Coming up,

00:44:19Jeff Jarrett and Hugh Morris.

00:44:22Well, Eric,

00:44:23this should be

00:44:24a very interesting matchup.

00:44:25The debut of Jeff Jarrett

00:44:27on Monday Nitro.

00:44:29The opposition provided

00:44:30by Hugh Morris,

00:44:32one of the most incredibly

00:44:33athletic and agile

00:44:35300-pounders in our sport.

00:44:38Well, this is a tough way

00:44:39for Jeff Jarrett

00:44:40to make his introduction here

00:44:41on WCW

00:44:43with a big man like Hugh Morris.

00:44:44Is he with the NWO,

00:44:46or who is he with?

00:44:47He gotta have a black limo.

00:44:48You tell me.

00:44:49Well, let me address that

00:44:51right now.

00:44:52A few months ago,

00:44:54I got a call from Jeff Jarrett.

00:44:56He said he wanted one shot

00:44:57to prove himself here in WCW.

00:45:01And we gave him

00:45:02the opportunity

00:45:03to step out on Nitro.

00:45:05And now, apparently,

00:45:06he's going to use

00:45:07that opportunity

00:45:09to display his wares

00:45:11for the NWO.

00:45:12To say that I'm disappointed

00:45:14is an understatement.

00:45:15To say that I had

00:45:16the wool poofed over my eyes,

00:45:19well, that's quite obvious.

00:45:21Very talented man,

00:45:22this Jeff Jarrett.

00:45:23Comes from a wrestling family,

00:45:24a wrestling background.

00:45:26He's no slouch.

00:45:27He's one tough customer.

00:45:28And if this affiliation

00:45:30with the New World Order

00:45:31comes to pass,

00:45:32Bill, the NWO,

00:45:33they just,

00:45:34that talent roster

00:45:35just keeps growing deeper

00:45:36and deeper by the day.

00:45:38Well, Jeff Jarrett,

00:45:39of course, his father,

00:45:40Jerry Jarrett,

00:45:41a promoter

00:45:42in the Memphis,

00:45:43Nashville area.

00:45:44And I want to let

00:45:45all you fans know,

00:45:46WCW Nitro looking forward

00:45:47to coming to Memphis.

00:45:49But, you know,

00:45:51Jeff has been around

00:45:52the sport a long time.

00:45:54His father, as I mentioned

00:45:55a few moments ago,

00:45:56a promoter in the Tennessee area.

00:45:58And let's face it,

00:45:59he's not on the national level,

00:46:01but he's an important part

00:46:02of the wrestling industry.

00:46:04And one of those portions

00:46:06of the wrestling industry

00:46:07that, quite frankly,

00:46:08Hulk Hogan is taking credit for.

00:46:09Why Jeff Jarrett

00:46:11would want to be

00:46:12a part of the NWO

00:46:14and associated with Hulk Hogan

00:46:15is beyond me.

00:46:17Well, he may be promised

00:46:18some movie parts.

00:46:19He may have promised

00:46:20some recording contacts.

00:46:21Who knows?

00:46:22Let me ask you something.

00:46:23Let me ask the $64,000 question

00:46:24here, Eric.

00:46:25Last week here on Nitro,

00:46:26you were upset.

00:46:27I could see it in your eyes.

00:46:28I could see it in your,

00:46:29the mannerisms in your body.

00:46:31All of a sudden,

00:46:32you got up and left

00:46:33and disappeared

00:46:34and didn't come back.

00:46:35This is too easy.

00:46:36I'd like to know

00:46:37where you went.

00:46:38This is too easy.

00:46:39As I'm sure the people would.

00:46:40Well, where I went

00:46:41last week,

00:46:42I was very frustrated

00:46:43with what was going on

00:46:44with the NWO.

00:46:45I thought it was

00:46:46an embarrassment

00:46:47not only to WCW

00:46:48and Nitro,

00:46:49but to the professional

00:46:50wrestling industry,

00:46:51which quite obviously

00:46:52the NWO cares nothing about.

00:46:53And I could,

00:46:54I should have,

00:46:55I should say,

00:46:56as a professional,

00:46:57contain my frustration.

00:46:58I didn't.

00:46:59I apologize.

00:47:00Oh, yes!

00:47:01Hugh Morris

00:47:02takes it home

00:47:03and WCW

00:47:04and the Dungeon of Doom

00:47:05handing one

00:47:06next to the other

00:47:07and the NWO

00:47:08and the Dungeon of Doom

00:47:09handing one now

00:47:10to what is apparently

00:47:11the newest member

00:47:12of the NWO

00:47:13who's being bounced around

00:47:14like a Superbowl.

00:47:15Well, what an opportunity

00:47:16this is for Jeff Jarrett,

00:47:17a chance to display

00:47:18his wares

00:47:19on the hottest program

00:47:20on television,

00:47:21Monday Nitro.

00:47:22Mr. Jarrett,

00:47:23welcome to where

00:47:24the big boys play.

00:47:25Hey, do you hear that?

00:47:26Do you hear that?

00:47:27Hear what?

00:47:28Do you hear it?

00:47:29We hear what?

00:47:30It's the Fat Lady

00:47:31singing.

00:47:32This is over.

00:47:33And it's over.

00:47:34And it's over.

00:47:35And it's over.

00:47:36And it's over.

00:47:38NWO,

00:47:39it's over.

00:47:52Jeff Jarrett now

00:47:53coming off the ropes,

00:47:54back leg round kick.

00:47:57Check that,

00:47:58that was a back leg front kick

00:47:59and

00:48:01Jarrett now

00:48:02and I'm sorry.

00:48:03Inverted atomic drop

00:48:04followed by a clothesline

00:48:05and Jarrett

00:48:06and Jarrett in control.

00:48:07Now,

00:48:08this is why evidently

00:48:09the NWO

00:48:10has scouted Jeff Jarrett.

00:48:13He is experienced.

00:48:14He's a second generation

00:48:15wrestler that has

00:48:16grown up in this sport.

00:48:17He's been around them all.

00:48:21He studied our sport

00:48:23literally all of his life.

00:48:27And who knows what

00:48:28deal Hogan made him.

00:48:29Who knows what offered,

00:48:30what promises,

00:48:31what false hopes.

00:48:32He's probably told this man

00:48:33like he tells everybody else.

00:48:34I do hear that fat lady

00:48:35singing,

00:48:36however.

00:48:37It's coming from

00:48:38North of here.

00:48:39That's the woman

00:48:40in section eight

00:48:41with the popcorn.

00:48:42It's North of here,

00:48:43trust me.

00:48:44Fourteen colonels

00:48:45caught in her teeth.

00:48:46Hearing the fat lady

00:48:47singing in the wine

00:48:48and I don't know.

00:48:50Oh,

00:48:51nice drop kick.

00:48:52On the money.

00:48:53He is one

00:48:54devastating individual.

00:48:55Jeff Jarrett

00:48:56moving very quickly.

00:48:57Hugh Morris

00:48:58with the

00:48:59leg over the

00:49:00middle rope.

00:49:05Irish whip now

00:49:06coming off the rope.

00:49:07Reversed by Hugh Morris.

00:49:08Hugh Morris sets up

00:49:09a power body slam.

00:49:10Plants Jeff Jarrett

00:49:11in the center of the ring.

00:49:12And I'm surprised

00:49:13we have not seen

00:49:14any of the

00:49:15NWO contingent

00:49:16out here at ringside.

00:49:17They usually don't like

00:49:18to fight anybody

00:49:19one on one.

00:49:20Strength in numbers

00:49:21and I agree, Eric.

00:49:22I'm surprised that

00:49:23they're not here as well

00:49:24to support Jarrett.

00:49:25We talked about this agility

00:49:26from this 300 pounder.

00:49:27Oh!

00:49:29Jarrett just able

00:49:30to roll out

00:49:31at the last second.

00:49:32Well, the last thing

00:49:33I would do is talk

00:49:34about the NWO

00:49:35and encourage them

00:49:36maybe to come out here

00:49:37ringside.

00:49:38Let's just keep our

00:49:39opinions to ourselves.

00:49:40The last thing we want

00:49:41is them out here

00:49:42destroying our

00:49:43announce position.

00:49:44You can see the three

00:49:45guys up there

00:49:46with the NWO

00:49:47painted on their chest.

00:49:48NWO shirts

00:49:49everywhere you go.

00:49:50There are NWO shirts

00:49:51all over the

00:49:52Charlotte Motor Speedway

00:49:53this past Saturday.

00:49:54And he got him!

00:49:55Figure four leg lock

00:49:56by Jeff Jarrett.

00:49:57And this is shocking.

00:49:58Hugh Morris submits.

00:49:59What a debut for Jarrett.

00:50:00Very impressive.

00:50:01Very impressive,

00:50:02Mr. Tenet.

00:50:03Flatbed figure four arm.

00:50:04Now he's going to do

00:50:05a little stretching.

00:50:06Something he knows

00:50:07a lot about

00:50:08and something he does

00:50:09very well.

00:50:10There's your winner,

00:50:11Jeff Jarrett.

00:50:12Well, he conned his way

00:50:14here on Nitro.

00:50:16He wanted his one shot.

00:50:19I haven't had a chance

00:50:21to talk to him

00:50:22in the past couple of months.

00:50:24He was on the schedule.

00:50:25He got his opportunity.

00:50:27And unfortunately for WCW,

00:50:31look at this.

00:50:32Hugh Morris

00:50:33comes off that top rope.

00:50:34If he would have hit Mr. Jarrett,

00:50:36it would have been

00:50:37all over for Mr. Jarrett.

00:50:38He was all academic right now.

00:50:40Smart as he is,

00:50:41he takes his time,

00:50:42which I don't think

00:50:43he should do with a guy

00:50:44like Hugh Morris.

00:50:45Slaps him in that patented

00:50:46Ric Flair figure four leg lock.

00:50:49Spins it.

00:50:50Locks it in.

00:50:52Hooks the leg over.

00:50:54And Hugh Morris is spammed.

00:50:56There's your winner,

00:50:57Jeff Jarrett.

00:50:58We're going to be talking

00:50:59to Jeff Jarrett

00:51:00as he's standing by

00:51:01with Tony Schiavone.

00:51:03Take it, guys.

00:51:06All right, Eric.

00:51:07Thank you very much.

00:51:08And yes, you guys are right.

00:51:09It was a most impressive debut

00:51:11here on WCW Monday Nitro

00:51:13for Jeff Jarrett

00:51:14making his World Championship

00:51:16Wrestling debut.

00:51:17And I say World Championship

00:51:18Wrestling.

00:51:19We saw you arrive

00:51:20in the black limousine.

00:51:22And it's apparent

00:51:23to all of the announcers

00:51:24that you are part

00:51:25of the NWO.

00:51:26But I need to ask you,

00:51:27are you another

00:51:29in the long line

00:51:30of these vandals

00:51:31that are coming out

00:51:32of the woodwork

00:51:33of the NWO?

00:51:34What's the story,

00:51:35Jeff Jarrett?

00:51:36Well, Tony Schiavone,

00:51:37I'm going to give you

00:51:38the answer.

00:51:39And I'm going to make

00:51:40a few statements

00:51:41in reply

00:51:42to a few things

00:51:43that Hulk Hogan

00:51:44has been saying

00:51:45the last couple of months.

00:51:46Tony Hulk Hogan,

00:51:47because I've had

00:51:48a few months off

00:51:49and I've had time

00:51:50to reflect and listen.

00:51:51And Hulk,

00:51:52you said

00:51:53that you were bigger

00:51:54than the wrestling

00:51:55industry itself.

00:51:57You said

00:51:58that you made

00:51:59the wrestling business.

00:52:01You said if it wasn't

00:52:02for you,

00:52:03that promoters

00:52:04like Vern Gagne

00:52:05in Minneapolis

00:52:06would have never existed.

00:52:09That if it wasn't

00:52:10for you,

00:52:11that my father,

00:52:12Jared Jarrett,

00:52:13another promoter

00:52:14in Tennessee,

00:52:15if it wasn't for you,

00:52:16he wouldn't have existed.

00:52:17Well, you didn't put

00:52:18one meal

00:52:19on my father's table

00:52:20and you damn sure

00:52:21didn't put any food

00:52:22on my table.

00:52:24No surgery.

00:52:26You know,

00:52:27it seems like you

00:52:28seem to forget

00:52:29about history.

00:52:30You forget you,

00:52:31Hulk Hogan.

00:52:32You started in Tennessee.

00:52:36Hogan,

00:52:37history might not

00:52:38mean anything to you.

00:52:39The names like

00:52:40Ric Flair,

00:52:41Dusty Rhodes,

00:52:42The Fronks,

00:52:43The Briscos.

00:52:44I could go on and on.

00:52:45History doesn't mean

00:52:46much to you,

00:52:47but it means

00:52:48something to me.

00:52:49So maybe Sting

00:52:50said it best

00:52:51a couple of weeks ago.

00:52:52Hulk Hogan,

00:52:53you and the rest

00:52:54of the NWO

00:52:56How about that?

00:52:58Huh.

00:52:59How about that

00:53:00from Jeff Jarrett?

00:53:01Ladies and gentlemen,

00:53:02what a statement

00:53:03here on Nitro.

00:53:04And we'll have more

00:53:05after this time out.

00:53:08You know what?

00:53:09I'm feeling a little bit

00:53:10better about life

00:53:11right now.

00:53:12Can you trust me?

00:53:13The announcement

00:53:14has been paid for

00:53:15by the New World Order.

00:53:16Want to make

00:53:17a fascist statement?

00:53:18NWO's

00:53:19back in black.

00:53:20White nice,

00:53:21white lovely.

00:53:22Soap opera shirt!

00:53:23What'd he say?

00:53:24Double X.

00:53:25Giant size.

00:53:26What's it make you look

00:53:27scary on TV?

00:53:28Buy this shirt!

00:53:30The preceding announcement

00:53:31has been paid for

00:53:32by the New World Order.

00:53:35All right,

00:53:36welcome back,

00:53:37and we are live

00:53:38here on Nitro

00:53:39as we are

00:53:40each and every week.

00:53:41I'm Eric Fischhoff

00:53:42along with Mike Today,

00:53:43Bobby the Brain,

00:53:44Heenan,

00:53:45and coming up

00:53:46it's Halloween Havoc,

00:53:47Slim Jim's Halloween Havoc

00:53:48at the MGM Grand

00:53:49in Las Vegas.

00:53:50And without question,

00:53:51Halloween Havoc

00:53:52currently one of our

00:53:53biggest pay-per-views

00:53:54of the year.

00:53:55Some of the most

00:53:56significant matches

00:53:57in the history of this company

00:53:58has taken place

00:53:59recently at Halloween Havoc.

00:54:00This one is going to be

00:54:01no different to be sure.

00:54:02Hulk Hogan,

00:54:03Hollywood Hogan,

00:54:04and the macho man

00:54:05Randy Savage.

00:54:06But there's another one

00:54:07that we need to talk about.

00:54:08Luger in Anderson.

00:54:10You know,

00:54:11they're blaming Luger

00:54:12because he gave up

00:54:13at Fall Brawl.

00:54:14He was mugged,

00:54:15he was mobbed,

00:54:16and he crawled out of the ring

00:54:17calling Sting's name

00:54:18after all the controversy

00:54:19about Sting.

00:54:20Mike,

00:54:21how do you see the match?

00:54:22Well,

00:54:23I think it's a pretty

00:54:24difficult situation

00:54:25as far as the four horsemen goes.

00:54:26They said going into

00:54:27the war games,

00:54:28Arn Anderson specifically

00:54:29in an interview said

00:54:30that you would have

00:54:31to kill him.

00:54:32He would not quit.

00:54:33I think the horsemen

00:54:34and Anderson in particular

00:54:35really placed the blame

00:54:36on Lex Luger

00:54:37for the defeat

00:54:38at Fall Brawl.

00:54:39Bobby?

00:54:40Well,

00:54:41he's called Lex Luger

00:54:42a quitter,

00:54:43Arn Anderson did.

00:54:44He says he's yellow

00:54:45and he's not much of a man.

00:54:46Arn Anderson's the kind

00:54:47of a guy who would

00:54:48cut his tongue out

00:54:49with a pair of scissors

00:54:50before he'd say,

00:54:51you're going to be

00:54:52fighting a man

00:54:53who is double tough

00:54:54in Arn Anderson.

00:54:55Double tough

00:54:56and he's really a threat.

00:54:57In fact,

00:54:58he has threatened

00:54:59to make an example

00:55:00out of the Renegade

00:55:01right here tonight.

00:55:02I wouldn't want to be

00:55:03in the Renegade's boots.

00:55:04He's a great young athlete

00:55:05but Arn Anderson

00:55:06is incensed.

00:55:07Let's go to the ring.

00:55:12Great to be with you.

00:55:13Live,

00:55:14coast to coast

00:55:15here on Nitro.

00:55:16And you know,

00:55:17I want to address

00:55:18something that I heard

00:55:19Tony Schiavone

00:55:20and Larry Zbysko

00:55:21talking about earlier.

00:55:22The fact that WCW

00:55:23needs a leader.

00:55:24And indeed,

00:55:25I have to agree.

00:55:26Sting,

00:55:27wherever you are,

00:55:28whatever you're doing,

00:55:31the past is the past.

00:55:32Mistakes are mistakes.

00:55:34But this is an organization

00:55:36that desperately needs

00:55:37a leader of your caliber.

00:55:40Lex Luger

00:55:41has paid a price

00:55:42that quite frankly

00:55:43I think is too dear.

00:55:44I think we've all learned,

00:55:45Stinger,

00:55:46as I said,

00:55:47wherever you are.

00:55:49Eric,

00:55:50I expected

00:55:51that we would hear

00:55:52from Sting

00:55:53after the peace offering

00:55:54last week.

00:55:55Obviously,

00:55:56we haven't.

00:55:57Again,

00:55:58you've made it very clear.

00:55:59I think all of us

00:56:00to a person agree

00:56:01we were wrong

00:56:02in claiming

00:56:03these things about Sting.

00:56:04And the peace offering

00:56:05that was made last week

00:56:06was something he always

00:56:07wanted to hear about

00:56:08from Sting.

00:56:09Well,

00:56:10it's very simple,

00:56:11Sting.

00:56:12It's obvious

00:56:13WCW needs you.

00:56:14They want you back.

00:56:15They want you to

00:56:16keep everybody

00:56:17together

00:56:18and take over the lead.

00:56:19Personally,

00:56:20I don't care what you do.

00:56:21Obviously,

00:56:22there are a lot of people

00:56:23here at WCW

00:56:24that need

00:56:25the Stinger.

00:56:27A lot of history

00:56:28between these two

00:56:29competitors.

00:56:30If you remember back

00:56:31just over a year ago,

00:56:33the Renegade

00:56:34defeated Arn Anderson

00:56:36to win the

00:56:37World's TV Championship.

00:56:39And Arn Anderson,

00:56:40I know,

00:56:41as well as many people

00:56:42across the country

00:56:43were watching this past

00:56:44Saturday night

00:56:45on TBS

00:56:46when the Renegade

00:56:47in a very,

00:56:48very competitive

00:56:49matchup against

00:56:50Lex Luger

00:56:51before losing that

00:56:52matchup right at the end.

00:56:53Of course,

00:56:54Luger and the Renegade

00:56:55shook hands.

00:56:56Arn Anderson was

00:56:57scouting that matchup

00:56:58and he's really been

00:56:59following the Renegade.

00:57:02Now,

00:57:03this is going to be

00:57:04an interesting matchup

00:57:05indeed.

00:57:06Only,

00:57:07if not for any other

00:57:08reason,

00:57:09to see when

00:57:10the rest of the

00:57:11Four Horsemen,

00:57:12if indeed they are

00:57:13going to make an

00:57:14appearance here.

00:57:15It's almost like

00:57:16Arn Anderson is

00:57:17looking for him

00:57:18in the crowd.

00:57:19He's seen a lot of

00:57:20NWO shirts and

00:57:21signs and posters,

00:57:22which quite frankly,

00:57:23I'm getting a little

00:57:24sick of looking at.

00:57:25As I said earlier,

00:57:26everywhere we went

00:57:27in Charlotte

00:57:28this past Saturday,

00:57:29they were everywhere.

00:57:30Do me a favor,

00:57:31keep that

00:57:32merchandise at home.

00:57:33Just driving down

00:57:34the highway,

00:57:35I see people in the

00:57:36back of their windows

00:57:37writing NWO rules.

00:57:38I want to hear about it.

00:57:39I don't want to hear

00:57:40about it.

00:57:41The Renegade

00:57:42has got to be

00:57:43aggressive in this

00:57:44matchup.

00:57:45That's what I'm

00:57:46feeling like today.

00:57:47Well, the Renegade's

00:57:48success in the past,

00:57:49it was always predicated

00:57:50on short bursts of

00:57:51offense.

00:57:52Obviously,

00:57:53Anderson knows that.

00:57:54His game plan has to

00:57:55be to slow down the

00:57:56tempo of this match

00:57:57to really work to

00:57:58his advantage.

00:57:59And the last thing

00:58:00Arn Anderson wants to

00:58:01do is come up in the

00:58:02losing end of this

00:58:03man twice in a row,

00:58:04and I don't think

00:58:05it's going to happen.

00:58:06He's got his sights

00:58:07set on Luger,

00:58:08and he's just going

00:58:09to go through the

00:58:10Renegade right here.

00:58:11Double A Arn Anderson

00:58:12on the receiving end

00:58:13of Luger.

00:58:14Not afraid.

00:58:15But you know what

00:58:16Arn Anderson does here?

00:58:17He slows the tempo down.

00:58:18Well, he's controlling

00:58:19the pace.

00:58:20That's right.

00:58:21Like any good athlete,

00:58:22whether you're pitching

00:58:23in the World Series,

00:58:24whether you're throwing

00:58:25a football,

00:58:26whether you're

00:58:27playing golf,

00:58:28you control the pace

00:58:29of the game.

00:58:30And you must admit,

00:58:31Luger's a little better

00:58:32looking than Jack

00:58:33Nicklaus.

00:58:34Slightly.

00:58:35You're better

00:58:36looking than Jack

00:58:37Nicklaus.

00:58:38So are you, Bobby.

00:58:39And that's

00:58:40what you think

00:58:41of a lot.

00:58:42No offense, Jack.

00:58:43Sorry.

00:58:44Wherever you are,

00:58:45I know you're...

00:58:46Hopefully he's not

00:58:47an NWO fan.

00:58:49He's watching Nitro,

00:58:50I bet.

00:58:52Double A Arn Anderson

00:58:53out with the Renegade

00:58:54snapmare takeover.

00:58:55Renegade in trouble here.

00:58:56Not getting

00:58:57off as quickly

00:58:58as he needs

00:58:59to get off.

00:59:00He needs to keep

00:59:01his offense

00:59:02crisp, aggressive,

00:59:03and stagger it up

00:59:04the pace a little bit.

00:59:05He hasn't been able

00:59:06to do that.

00:59:07He's let Arn Anderson

00:59:08control the pace

00:59:09of the contest.

00:59:10More importantly,

00:59:11he's controlling

00:59:12the turf.

00:59:13He's controlling

00:59:14that mat.

00:59:15He's keeping Renegade

00:59:16where he wants

00:59:17Renegade.

00:59:18Renegade unable

00:59:19to use the ropes

00:59:20or the corners

00:59:21to his advantage.

00:59:22Anderson exploiting

00:59:23that huge experience

00:59:24edge that he has

00:59:25over the Renegade

00:59:26in controlling him

00:59:27at this point.

00:59:28Totally controlling

00:59:29the Renegade's offense.

00:59:30Well, it's time

00:59:31to send messages out.

00:59:32Luger sent one out

00:59:33last Saturday night,

00:59:34but this man right here

00:59:35in Arn Anderson

00:59:36is going to send

00:59:37a message.

00:59:38And I hope Luger's

00:59:39watching,

00:59:40because it's Halloween

00:59:41Havoc coming up.

00:59:42Slim Jim's Halloween

00:59:43Havoc, exclusively

00:59:44on pay-per-view

00:59:45from the MGM brand

00:59:46in Las Vegas.

00:59:47Looking forward

00:59:48to being there.

00:59:49Cover, one, two,

00:59:50and a kick out

00:59:51by Renegade

00:59:52on the count of two.

00:59:53Renegade is really

00:59:54slowed down here, Mike.

00:59:55Making me nervous.

00:59:56Give me a break.

00:59:57Eric, speaking

00:59:58of Las Vegas,

00:59:59Halloween Havoc

01:00:00presented by Slim Jim.

01:00:01It's the talk

01:00:02of the town

01:00:03in my hometown.

01:00:04That's right.

01:00:05You're from there,

01:00:06aren't you?

01:00:07Absolutely.

01:00:08And I can tell you

01:00:09that you've been

01:00:10hanging out

01:00:11on the coast

01:00:12every once in a while.

01:00:13Every now and then

01:00:14I've been known

01:00:15to frequent the Gold Coast.

01:00:16That's a sports book,

01:00:17I think.

01:00:18It is?

01:00:19Enough on that.

01:00:20I heard you hung out

01:00:21in another place

01:00:22outside of town.

01:00:23I don't want to go

01:00:24into that.

01:00:25A.M.C.

01:00:26Referee looking

01:00:27very closely,

01:00:28watching the choke.

01:00:29Looking for a choke here.

01:00:30Ask him.

01:00:31Well, he's done

01:00:32what he wanted to do.

01:00:33He's grounded the man.

01:00:34He's got the Renegade

01:00:35right in the mat.

01:00:36You talked about it, Eric.

01:00:37He wouldn't let him

01:00:38do what he wanted to do.

01:00:39That's Aaron Anderson's

01:00:40home right there.

01:00:41That's his house.

01:00:42That's where he lives.

01:00:43That's where he breathes.

01:00:44And that's where he fights,

01:00:45in that ring.

01:00:46He owns that ring.

01:00:47That Anderson philosophy

01:00:48of working on

01:00:49a particular body part,

01:00:50exploiting your opponent's

01:00:51weakness,

01:00:52well, that's working

01:00:53to a T.

01:00:54Anderson,

01:00:55the entire match

01:00:56has worked on the head

01:00:57and the upper body

01:00:58of the Renegade.

01:00:59Still to come,

01:01:00the Macho Man,

01:01:01Randy Savage,

01:01:02the Nature Boy,

01:01:03Ric Flair.

01:01:04U.S. title on the line.

01:01:05And earlier on,

01:01:06you saw the new

01:01:07champions,

01:01:08Harlem Heat,

01:01:09and you also saw

01:01:10the Outsiders

01:01:11taking aim,

01:01:12if you will,

01:01:13coming out here

01:01:14in what is really

01:01:15a trademark

01:01:16NWO move

01:01:17to walk out

01:01:18into the crowd

01:01:19and try to intimidate

01:01:20Harlem Heat.

01:01:21I got news for you.

01:01:22Harlem Heat

01:01:23a little tougher

01:01:24than the NWO

01:01:25the Outsiders

01:01:26giving them credit for.

01:01:27We'll see just how

01:01:28tough NWO is

01:01:29when it's two-on-two

01:01:30with the Harlem Heat.

01:01:31I have to admit,

01:01:32I don't know

01:01:33how many times

01:01:34I've seen

01:01:35Harlem Heat

01:01:36in the ring.

01:01:37I have to admit,

01:01:38I don't know about you,

01:01:39Bobby,

01:01:40just knowing

01:01:41that the NWO's

01:01:42in the building,

01:01:43however,

01:01:44provides an uneasy

01:01:45feeling for me.

01:01:46Uneasy.

01:01:47It doesn't even

01:01:48come close.

01:01:49You guys bailed

01:01:50a couple of weeks ago

01:01:51when they took over

01:01:52the broadcast booth.

01:01:53Not that I blame you,

01:01:54mind you,

01:01:55but not a pleasant,

01:01:56not a highlight

01:01:57of my career,

01:01:58let's put it that way.

01:01:59Well,

01:02:00they manhandled you

01:02:01like they own you.

01:02:02They manhandle

01:02:03everybody here

01:02:04at WCW

01:02:05and I don't think

01:02:06they even have an idea

01:02:07it's going to happen.

01:02:08I hear rumor in the back.

01:02:09I hear rumor

01:02:10all over this business.

01:02:11Something bad

01:02:12is going to happen

01:02:13to the NWO

01:02:14and it's going to happen

01:02:15to Las Vegas.

01:02:16Now,

01:02:17the NWO can't possibly

01:02:18maintain the comp.

01:02:19It's not even momentum

01:02:20because momentum

01:02:21infers competition

01:02:22and what they've been doing

01:02:23has nothing to do

01:02:24with competition.

01:02:25They're thugs,

01:02:26they're street punks,

01:02:27they're dirtbags

01:02:28and they're trying

01:02:29to take over

01:02:30an organization

01:02:31that has its roots

01:02:32in professional wrestling

01:02:33as a sport.

01:02:34And eventually,

01:02:35I mean,

01:02:36it just can't continue.

01:02:37They can't continue

01:02:38to get away

01:02:39with what they're

01:02:40getting away with.

01:02:41Well,

01:02:42JBLC's got a lot of money

01:02:43and Hogan's got a lot

01:02:44of promises

01:02:45and there's a lot of people

01:02:46out there looking

01:02:47for a chance

01:02:48to be on Nitro.

01:02:49A lot of people

01:02:50out there looking

01:02:51for a chance

01:02:52to get-

01:02:53Oh!

01:02:54Well,

01:02:55I guess we all

01:02:56jump to the conclusion

01:02:57that Jeff Jarrett

01:02:58was joining the NWO.

01:02:59I did.

01:03:00Maybe his affiliation

01:03:01with WCW

01:03:02will be the first step

01:03:03in swinging that

01:03:04balance of power

01:03:05back to WCW.

01:03:06Listen,

01:03:07before we jump off

01:03:08any cliffs here

01:03:09and assuming

01:03:10that Jeff Jarrett

01:03:11is officially going

01:03:12to be a regular

01:03:13component of WCW,

01:03:14I'd like to talk

01:03:15to Jeff Jarrett

01:03:16myself,

01:03:17take a look

01:03:18at his contract,

01:03:19speak with him

01:03:20and see exactly

01:03:21what his plans are

01:03:22because just because

01:03:23he said what he said

01:03:24out here earlier

01:03:25doesn't necessarily

01:03:26sell me on the fact

01:03:27that he's hoping

01:03:28to be a part of WCW.

01:03:29I think time will tell.

01:03:30You know,

01:03:31he really got

01:03:32a lot of ideas

01:03:33in his head.

01:03:34He almost made it

01:03:35personal,

01:03:36talking about his

01:03:37father and the

01:03:38wrestling promotions

01:03:39all over the world.

01:03:40You wonder,

01:03:41did he maybe talk

01:03:42too much about Hogan?

01:03:43Did Hogan plant

01:03:44those ideas in his mind?

01:03:45I can't tell.

01:03:46Look at this.

01:03:47Great move

01:03:48by the Renegade.

01:03:49Cartwheels into

01:03:50the back elbow

01:03:51and spike double A

01:03:52in the corner.

01:03:53Surprising amount

01:03:54of offense

01:03:55from the Renegade

01:03:56coming this deep

01:03:57into the match.

01:03:58Renegade just lost

01:03:59this match.

01:04:00He's wasted

01:04:01the spring cartwheel.

01:04:02Oh!

01:04:03That was the second

01:04:04time that Anderson

01:04:05saw it,

01:04:06and that was awesome.

01:04:07Maybe the last time

01:04:08you'll see it.

01:04:09Wait a minute.

01:04:10What's going on here?

01:04:11Oh, and a DDT.

01:04:12One, two, three.

01:04:13This one's over.

01:04:14Wow.

01:04:15Well, take a good

01:04:16look, Mr. Luger.

01:04:17He didn't have him

01:04:18up in the rack

01:04:19and then let him

01:04:20go and shake his hand.

01:04:21This is Arne Anderson.

01:04:22He takes it

01:04:23to a new limit.

01:04:24This man is

01:04:25all business

01:04:26along with Woodrow Wilson.

01:04:27Look at Woodrow

01:04:28pulling him,

01:04:29pulling his hair back

01:04:30as Arne Anderson

01:04:31stomps on the

01:04:32floating ribbon.

01:04:33Here comes Lex Luger.

01:04:34Lex Luger out.

01:04:35Luger in the ring

01:04:36and Arne Anderson

01:04:37decides discretion

01:04:38the better part

01:04:39of valor

01:04:40lacked any other

01:04:41horseman

01:04:42other than

01:04:43woman.

01:04:44I think that was

01:04:45a purposely

01:04:46designed

01:04:47move

01:04:48by Luger

01:04:49to get

01:04:50Luger

01:04:51in the ring

01:04:52and get

01:04:53Luger

01:04:54in the ring

01:04:55and get

01:04:56Luger

01:04:57in the ring

01:04:58and get

01:04:59Luger

01:09:45in the ring

01:09:46I hope you're watching this match, I hope you're seeing this man who has been your friend for so long.

01:09:53Again I say, as I said earlier, the past is the past, it's over, it's water under the bridge.

01:09:59And Lex Luger doing just what he said he would do.

01:10:02He said he would rack Taylor. He's racked him, he's won it.

01:10:07That's step number one.

01:10:09But did you notice something? He let Squire Dave Taylor down.

01:10:13He had him in the rack, he gave up, he was screaming bloody murder, and Lex Luger released him.

01:10:19Arn Anderson would have never done that.

01:10:21You'd have heard his back snap in 50 different places.

01:10:24They'd be putting him in a bag right now with a blotter, taking him to some doctor to put back together.

01:10:29That's the difference between Arn Anderson and the Total Package right there.

01:10:33The Total Package, Lex Luger with his eyes on Slim Jim's Halloween habit coming your way.

01:10:40Arn Anderson! Arn Anderson!

01:10:42He snapped out of the back and he is working over the back of Lex Luger.

01:10:51Luger got suckered with a steel chair and in a boot to the ribs.

01:10:55Two referees out.

01:10:58So you're doing Arn Anderson's match? That's what Luger should have done.

01:11:01But Luger didn't do it. He doesn't have that inside of him.

01:11:04Arn Anderson does. He's a treacherous, dangerous man.

01:11:08And Luger, you know it right now, better than anybody in this whole world.

01:11:13Luger will have his lunch.

01:11:17We'll be back right after this.

01:11:18Meanwhile, he's eating some mint right now.

01:11:21Steiner Brothers coming up next.

01:11:23Scott, are you sure this is going to be interesting?

01:11:25Uh-oh.

01:11:27Welcome back. We are live and we're going to get a look at the Steiner Brothers

01:11:32as Rick Steiner takes on Chris Benoit.

01:11:34Now, you may note that Scott Steiner will be in the corner.

01:11:39He wasn't here last week. He has two ruptured discs in his lower back.

01:11:43Doctors would not let him come tonight.

01:11:47Last week, doctors told him he should not get out of bed.

01:11:51He should stay in therapy. He should not be here tonight.

01:11:54You cannot keep a Steiner down when a brother's in trouble.

01:12:00The Steiner Brothers all of a sudden joined at the hip.

01:12:04And Scott Steiner, one of the toughest human beings on planet Earth.

01:12:09There's a Steiner fan.

01:12:11That may be a Steiner. Who knows?

01:12:15You know, they come and they come in litters.

01:12:18Is that how it goes? Come on, Robby, do it.

01:12:20I'm not a gremlin.

01:12:21Dogface gremlin.

01:12:23Whatever you call this guy.

01:12:25This is a rematch from last Monday Nitro

01:12:28when Steve Mongo McMichael interfered.

01:12:31He nailed Rick Steiner with the briefcase.

01:12:34Obviously, Rick Steiner has decided that he's going to try and even the score tonight.

01:12:38And he's not going to be outnumbered by recruiting brother Scott at ringside.

01:12:44Steve McMichael and Debra bringing Chris Benoit, the four horsemen,

01:12:50making their presence felt here tonight on Nitro.

01:12:53The four horsemen definitely a force to be dealt with here in WCW.

01:12:58And quite frankly, in the NWO as well.

01:13:02Steve McMichael, 15 years in the NFL, Super Bowl champion.

01:13:06The man who was walking to the ring with that Halliburton briefcase,

01:13:10that Kevin Green, formerly of the Pittsburgh Steelers,

01:13:13now of the Carolina Panthers.

01:13:14By the way, our good buddy Kevin Green got two sacks yesterday

01:13:17if I read USA Today right.

01:13:19Yeah, and they were both at a 7-11.

01:13:22One was pure with beer, one was nuts.

01:13:24No, no, no, no, no.

01:13:25And he got those sacks against the Minnesota Vikings.

01:13:30Dennis Green and company having a reasonably good day.

01:13:35They got by the Panthers by a narrow margin, only two points.

01:13:39But Carolina Panthers will be back.

01:13:43Get him, Kevin.

01:13:45This is interesting because Scott Steiner's got that bad lower back.

01:13:49He's not 100%.

01:13:50I don't care how much he admires or loves his little bitty brother.

01:13:54His little bitty brother?

01:13:56Well, Mongo's outside.

01:13:58Benoit's inside.

01:14:00There's horsemen all over the building.

01:14:02Steiner, you better go back to the heating pad.

01:14:04I tell you what.

01:14:06Mike, take a look at what you got in the ring here.

01:14:08Chris Benoit now going after Rick Steiner.

01:14:10You've got Benoit, arguably one of the most vicious men in the sport today.

01:14:15Rick and Scott Steiner, as I said, two of the toughest men on the planet.

01:14:18And then you got that lunatic Steve McMichael outside of the ring.

01:14:21There's a whole lot of tough human being in this ring and around this ring right now.

01:14:27And Rick Steiner going after Chris Benoit.

01:14:30And Benoit, tough as he may be, is running into an oak.

01:14:36Rick Steiner looks like he's out to prove a point.

01:14:39And that lariat clothesline is on target.

01:14:43Usually the Steiners like to wrestle.

01:14:45Usually they like to throw you around and suplex you.

01:14:48This is a different Rick Steiner than I've seen before.

01:14:50He's just out to hurt this man and send some kind of a greeting to Mongo.

01:14:56You're right, Bobby.

01:14:57Both of these men, Benoit and Rick Steiner, would have to be considered masters of the suplex.

01:15:02But it seems like Steiner has an all-new offensive game plan tonight.

01:15:06And by the way, because of the injury to Scott Steiner, he's going to be going into surgery very, very soon.

01:15:12You understand that in Japan, Rick is going to be teaming up, if I heard this correctly, with the great Muto.

01:15:17That ought to be an interesting matchup.

01:15:18We'll try to bring you footage of that from Japan.

01:15:20But right now, Rick Steiner handing it to Chris Benoit.

01:15:23Benoit, very tough though.

01:15:25Have to reiterate that point.

01:15:27In excellent condition, able to roll his shoulder.

01:15:30Rick Steiner definitely teaming with Muto coming up in the New Japan Tag Team Tournament in the month of October.

01:15:37Rick Steiner now going after Chris Benoit.

01:15:41And you know, last week we saw Matt Ghaffari out here, the silver medalist.

01:15:47In Atlanta.

01:15:48This past week, Greco-Roman Wrestling.

01:15:51Matt Ghaffari wrestled Rick Steiner.

01:15:54Had some great matchups in their collegiate days.

01:15:57Matt Ghaffari expressing some interest in joining the ranks of WCW.

01:16:02How about the NWO?

01:16:04Well, I don't know.

01:16:05He had lunch with me.

01:16:06I don't know if he had lunch with NWO and company.

01:16:09You'd have to ask DiBiase that.

01:16:10He and DiBiase are pretty good friends.

01:16:11Well, you used to get along.

01:16:12Call him and ask him.

01:16:14Rick Steiner with that strong NCAA amateur background.

01:16:18Gets just a one count there at the University of Michigan.

01:16:20Yet, when becoming a pro, he's relied more on a power game.

01:16:27Rick Steiner, pretty methodical here.

01:16:29He's picking his shots.

01:16:31And he's executing extremely well.

01:16:32But look at Chris Benoit come back.

01:16:34Anybody that underestimates the power, the strength, the aggressiveness, and just the physical.

01:16:41Toughness, if you will.

01:16:42Of Chris Benoit.

01:16:44Is really setting themselves up for failure.

01:16:47Because this guy's tough.

01:16:48And I'll tell you about tough.

01:16:49It's real tough.

01:16:50But we gotta take a break.

01:16:51We'll be back.

01:16:52Not yet.

01:16:53Not yet.

01:16:54One, two.

01:16:55No, he's not interrupting.

01:16:56Take the break.

01:16:57We'll be back right after this.

01:16:58Get back.

01:16:59He's got him.

01:17:00He's got him.

01:17:01This one could end.

01:17:02If it does, we'll bring you the result.

01:17:03Stay with us.

01:17:05Alright, welcome back.

01:17:06We are live.

01:17:07Great action in the ring.

01:17:08And Chris Benoit, arguably two of the most physical wrestlers in the industry today,

01:17:15hammering at each other.

01:17:16And while Chris Benoit is giving up a little bit of weight here,

01:17:20he is not giving up anything in hard or aggressiveness.

01:17:27That's not what you would call an even exchange.

01:17:29Reverse right hand chopped to the top of the chest by Chris Benoit.

01:17:32As Rick Steiner fires back with a massive right hand.

01:17:35I mean, he's got a fist the size of a Samsonite suitcase.

01:17:39Look at that, though.

01:17:40Look at Benoit.

01:17:41Two.

01:17:42Incredible intensity.

01:17:44Earlier in the Nitro broadcast, we saw Ming and the Barbarian,

01:17:47the faces of fear, upcoming at Slim Jim's Halloween Havoc.

01:17:50They will meet the team of Chris Benoit and Steve McMichael.

01:17:53Look at this.

01:17:54Scott Steiner.

01:17:56I think he put a hand on Nick Patrick.

01:17:58Gave a hand.

01:17:59He gave him a little rub down there on the neck.

01:18:01Two.

01:18:02A little chiropractic care.

01:18:04Courtesy of Scott Steiner.

01:18:07That ought to cost him a couple bucks.

01:18:09And I'll tell you right now, my opinion, I'm no doctor,

01:18:13but that neck brace?

01:18:15Uh-uh.

01:18:16Ain't happening.

01:18:18I don't know what kind of a con he's trying to play here, but...

01:18:21Are you calling him a liar?

01:18:23Not yet.

01:18:25You just did.

01:18:26No, not yet I haven't.

01:18:28Wait a minute.

01:18:29Hold on, hold on, hold on.

01:18:30I'm getting static.

01:18:31Hold on.

01:18:32Go ahead.

01:18:33Go ahead.

01:18:34What?

01:18:35Yeah, take it.

01:18:36Take it.

01:18:37We've got a limo.

01:18:38Look at the license plate.

01:18:39NWO.

01:18:40I was about to say, thus far this evening, we have been NWO free here,

01:18:45save the exception in the early part of the broadcast

01:18:49when Holla Nash came out to look at Harlem Heat,

01:18:52but we have a limo pulling in now, backing in, if you will, and...

01:18:57Oh, no.

01:18:59Hollywood Hogan.

01:19:00Yes, sir, brother.

01:19:02Hollywood Hogan.

01:19:04We've been on the rocket launch out of Detroit.

01:19:06Big giant.

01:19:07Come here, brother.

01:19:09Cover this area back here, man.

01:19:12I got some business to take care of, brother.

01:19:14Watch my back, dude.

01:19:15Yes, sir.

01:19:16Business?

01:19:17Where is he going now?

01:19:18Business.

01:19:19I think we were all feeling a little too comfortable.

01:19:22Uh-oh.

01:19:23Where is he?

01:19:26Hogan in the end.

01:19:27All right, now we know Holland Nash is here.

01:19:29We've seen DiBiase.

01:19:30We've seen Six.

01:19:31We've seen Vincent.

01:19:33And now we've got the giant.

01:19:35We have got Hogan.

01:19:38What about the Nasty Boys?

01:19:40Where the heck are they?

01:19:41We saw them last week hanging out with the NWO.

01:19:46And now if Jeff Jarrett is really part of them

01:19:49and if that whole thing with him and his interview

01:19:51was nothing but a smokescreen, we should find out

01:19:53because something tells me this NWO thing is going down

01:19:57quite obviously.

01:19:58Savage is here to wrestle flair.

01:20:00He's got a US title on the line, and these guys

01:20:02are trying to collect belts.

01:20:04They've made that well known.

01:20:05You know, I find myself asking myself, where is Sting?

01:20:09Now, everybody in the back probably wishes Sting was here

01:20:12right now to group everybody together.

01:20:14What about everybody in the back?

01:20:15How about the people here in the front desk group?

01:20:17Well, I'm on my own.

01:20:18Hogan said he had business to take care of.

01:20:20That was the one thing that we heard.

01:20:22All right, hold on.

01:20:23Hold on.

01:20:24I don't mean to interrupt you.

01:20:25We got security.

01:20:26I can see him from behind the curtains.

01:20:27He's literally running back and forth backstage.

01:20:31Now, we have beefed up security here tonight.

01:20:33They will not take over this broadcast booth.

01:20:36You've said that before.

01:20:37Well, they will not take it over here tonight.

01:20:41Well, I'm sure you don't want to be slapped around anymore,

01:20:43and I'm sure you don't want to be pitched off this

01:20:45announced position through a stage anymore.

01:20:47Something has to be done.

01:20:48It has to be done real quick.

01:20:49Well, I'll tell you what.

01:20:54We have to defend ourselves here in WCW.

01:20:58I, for one, will not be manhandled again.

01:21:03I won't be here.

01:21:06Rich Steiner ducking into the clothesline.

01:21:08Chris Benoit takes a flying forearm,

01:21:11takes Benoit off his feet,

01:21:13and this is a test of endurance here.

01:21:15These guys are hammering at each other.

01:21:17Every move, a high-impact move, every blow, devastating.

01:21:22And they haven't stopped since the bell rang.

01:21:25The longer this match goes,

01:21:26you would think the advantage would go to Benoit

01:21:29since Rick Steiner has been participating

01:21:31primarily in tag team matches.

01:21:34The other thing is the endurance factor.

01:21:37No matter how you look at it, physiologically speaking,

01:21:40the smaller man is going to be an advantage

01:21:43in a long-term test in terms of endurance.

01:21:46Now, if Rick Steiner can use his weight

01:21:48and give it his amateur background,

01:21:51he can should he use that strategy,

01:21:53keep his weight on Benoit, fatigue Benoit.

01:21:55But so far, that hasn't been the case.

01:21:57They've been just pounding on each other.

01:21:59And in that scenario,

01:22:00the advantage is gonna go to the smaller man.

01:22:04Ow!

01:22:05Man, and he just rifles a chop to the top of the chest.

01:22:09He knocked his ears off.

01:22:10Slammed him so hard, the headgear came off.

01:22:14You couldn't tell from here.

01:22:16You should knock his ears off.

01:22:17Look at this!

01:22:19Headbutt!

01:22:21Take his nose off.

01:22:23Take his head off. I don't care.

01:22:25Still looking for NWO, this crowd on their feet.

01:22:29We have monitors in the arena here.

01:22:32A lot of fans have asked for monitors in the arenas

01:22:36because so much of what's been going on

01:22:38in Nitro has been taking place outside of the arena.

01:22:40Now we have monitors here in the building,

01:22:42so quite frankly, we can keep track

01:22:44of what's going on backstage

01:22:46and outside of the building.

01:22:47Belly suplex!

01:22:49That's the kind of move

01:22:50that can take the wind out of you in a hurry.

01:22:53In a real hurry.

01:22:54Came off that top rope,

01:22:55caught him in a bear hug,

01:22:56and then suplexed him.

01:22:58I'll tell you what.

01:22:59NWO hits the ring now.

01:23:01Scott Steiner, ruptured discs and all.

01:23:04It's gonna be right there, and it'll be a war.

01:23:07Rick Steiner hooks the leg,

01:23:08and Benoit rolls the shoulder.

01:23:10This is incredible.

01:23:12This is a test,

01:23:13and this is why they say

01:23:14WCW is where the big boys play.

01:23:18No warm-up acts here, gentlemen.

01:23:21I still think Steiner's depending a lot

01:23:23on his brother's help.

01:23:24So you see, look at this.

01:23:25Look at the balance.

01:23:26Oh!

01:23:27Top rope bulldog connected.

01:23:29Spiked him in the center of the ring.

01:23:30It's all over.

01:23:31Good night.

01:23:32Gotta be over.

01:23:34And they are in there, neck of the woods.

01:23:36One, two, and...

01:23:38Oh, man.

01:23:39Where did he get it?

01:23:40Wait a minute.

01:23:41Nick Patrick, Nick Patrick.

01:23:42He knows this is a controversial call.

01:23:46Get on that floor.

01:23:47You're not a referee, Steiner.

01:23:48You stay on that floor.

01:23:50I wouldn't tell him he's not a referee.

01:23:55Still a clothesline.

01:23:57Both men down.

01:23:59Debra up.

01:24:00Oh, she's learned.

01:24:01She has learned.

01:24:02And look at this.

01:24:03It's time to go traveling with your luggage.

01:24:06The dent last week.

01:24:07The dent in there.

01:24:09Left over from Kevin Green.

01:24:12Hit him, hit him.

01:24:13Oh, yeah!

01:24:14Oh!

01:24:15Oh!

01:24:16Come on, referee!

01:24:17Don't count!

01:24:18No!

01:24:19No!

01:24:20No!

01:24:21No!

01:24:22No!

01:24:23No!

01:24:24No!

01:24:25No!

01:24:26No!

01:24:27No!

01:24:28No!

01:24:29No!

01:24:30No!

01:24:31No!

01:24:32No!

01:24:33No!

01:24:34No!

01:24:35No!

01:24:36No!

01:24:37No!

01:24:38No!

01:24:39No!

01:24:40At all!

01:24:41No!

01:24:42Whoo!

01:24:43There might have been a case there

01:24:44where the neck brace of Nick Patrick

01:24:45prevented him from looking over

01:24:47and seeing that the briefcase was used.

01:24:49Are you kidding me?

01:24:50I've had a neck brace on

01:24:51and when you're in that brace,

01:24:52you can't really turn.

01:24:53You have no mobility.

01:24:54It's amazing the man's even out there.

01:24:57Are you making an excuse for Nick Patrick?

01:24:59No, I'm a broadcast journalist and I'm telling you the truth.

01:25:02Here comes Rick Steiner into the corner

01:25:04to get his hands on the Crippler.

01:25:05Takes one right in the chops.

01:25:06Chopped, both of them connect with vicious clotheslines.

01:25:09Mungo goes to go after Scott Steiner.

01:25:13Threatens him, Rick Steiner takes advantage.

01:25:15Good night.

01:25:17Should've had your helmet on.

01:25:20Now listen to this.

01:25:21Alma takes the hat off Chris Van Waal.

01:25:24If you wanna call that a victory and take it, go ahead.

01:25:27One, two, three.

01:25:28There's your winner, Rick Steiner.

01:25:30Right.

01:25:31I like to count.

01:25:32No hesitation on the count.

01:25:35I don't know.

01:25:36I just can't figure this guy out.

01:25:37This is McPatrick.

01:25:39He's an enigma.

01:25:43We'll be back.

01:25:44Where are they?

01:25:45Hold it, hold it, hold it.

01:25:46Slim Jim presents WCW's Halloween Havoc.

01:25:50Live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena, the Macho Man, Randy Savage,

01:25:54takes on the NWO's Hollywood Hulk Hogan for the world's heavyweight title.

01:26:00The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, goes up against The Giant.

01:26:03Plus the Outsiders battle Harlem Heat.

01:26:05All this and more as Slim Jim presents WCW's Halloween Havoc.

01:26:10Sunday, October 27th at 4.30.

01:26:12Tickets at the box office and Ticketmaster.

01:26:17All right, welcome back.

01:26:19US title on the line.

01:26:20The Macho Man, The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, set to do battle here.

01:26:25The NWO's in the building.

01:26:27Now, during the break, again, I can't overemphasize, security everywhere.

01:26:34Running back and forth, and if they're gonna strike.

01:26:39There's the raving lunatic.

01:26:42Hogan is in the building.

01:26:44Colin Nash here, Six, DiBiase, Vincent.

01:26:50And who knows who else?

01:26:51The Macho Man, Randy Savage.

01:26:55All of us supporting the Macho Man as we count down to Slim Jim's Halloween Havoc.

01:27:02Our chance, WCW's chance to regain the World Heavyweight Championship.

01:27:10Better than that is an opportunity to get rid of Hulk Hogan and

01:27:13every member of the NWO.

01:27:15Now, we know the NWO is on a mission to collect titles, to collect belts.

01:27:20Hold it, hold it, hold it, go back.

01:27:22Backstage.

01:27:23You just watch my back right here.

01:27:26That's all you need to know, man.

01:27:28Just watch my back.

01:27:29What's happening?

01:27:30What's going, what are you doing?

01:27:31What's happening?

01:27:31The bottom line is, I got a problem with the Macho Man.

01:27:34I wanna look him in the eye with nobody around.

01:27:37Just watch my back, okay?

01:27:38We'll watch your back, cuz I know you watch ours.

01:27:41By the way, we got some NWO paperwork.

01:27:44The paperwork right here, guys.

01:27:46I know you're gonna wanna- Check it out, brother.

01:27:47What we're talking about?

01:27:48What you were talking about?

01:27:48That's it.

01:27:49Come on, let's go take a look at it, guys.

01:27:50And if I hear this, I watch your back, you watch my back, crap.

01:27:53One more time, I'm gonna kill you.

01:27:56Hogan wouldn't watch anybody's back, unless he knew where to put the knife.

01:28:01Yeah, unless that's where their wallet was.

01:28:03Hollywood Hogan, what was the business he's talking about?

01:28:09He's backstage.

01:28:10Somebody, I know our director obviously knows where they are.

01:28:14They sent cameras back there.

01:28:15I'd like to get a word what part of the building they're in.

01:28:18Well, he's not gonna talk to Savage.

01:28:20Savage is in the ring, unless Hogan's going to the ring.

01:28:23Where's Flair?

01:28:25The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, the current US champion.

01:28:29Come on, Nature Boy.

01:28:32Back again, backstage, go, go, go, go, now.

01:28:36Hey, what are you talking about?

01:28:43This up here, come on, you wanna see something?

01:28:47He's got his US title in his hands, and they're handing it away.

01:28:52Hey, come on, come on now.

01:28:54Zip Caron, he's crying out loud.

01:28:57Not here.

01:28:57Not live, baby, not live.

01:28:59This is it, this is it, right here.

01:29:02Did you hear that noise at the beginning?

01:29:04It sounded like a lead pipe or an iron pipe.

01:29:06And look at Liz, what is she doing back there?

01:29:11Come on, keep him alive, he's gone.

01:29:14I don't see her throwing her body over him, no.

01:29:22The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, has been mugged.

01:29:28He's been beat up real bad.

01:29:29Look what they're doing, they're backing.

01:29:32Wait a minute, they're backing her right out in front of us here.

01:29:37Why, they are literally in front of the broadcast stager.

01:29:42Look at that, where are the rest of them?

01:29:45Where are the rest of them?

01:29:46The Macho Man, the Macho Man.

01:29:52Hammered from behind.

01:29:55Not here.

01:29:57Get him out of here.

01:29:59They're sailing the referee from across the building, out on the concrete.

01:30:04And now, taking Lanny and bouncing him off the guardrail.

01:30:09Can we get some help out here?

01:30:11Somebody get out here now.

01:30:13Now.

01:30:15If security won't be here, somebody go get Iron.

01:30:17Somebody go get the Hornsman, Steiner, somebody.

01:30:20The chair across the throat, and Miss Elizabeth coming to the aid.

01:30:25No.

01:30:26Of the Macho Man.

01:30:28They're gonna make her watch this.

01:30:30They're gonna make her watch them take Savage apart, piece by piece.

01:30:34Who do you think you are?

01:30:38I own you.

01:30:40You don't own anything, Hogan.

01:30:42And look at them, they're hauling the Macho Man.

01:30:46His carcass back to the ring.

01:30:48Now, this is obviously the business that he had to take care of.

01:30:53Look at this.

01:30:54Look at him, with one hand.

01:30:56My.

01:30:57Dropped his, right at the base of his spine on those steel steps.

01:31:03Somebody get out here.

01:31:08The weight of the Giant and

01:31:12the Macho Man literally collapsed the steel steps.

01:31:18And the Giant picked him up and threw him into the ring.

01:31:23And now just proceeding to destroy the Macho Man while Hollywood Hogan.

01:31:31But notice this, notice the Giant's doing Hogan's dirty work.

01:31:36Hogan's not doing nothing.

01:31:37Hogan doesn't want any part of the Macho Man one on one.

01:31:40He's stopping him, he's stopping him.

01:31:43He's stopping the Chokeslam while he's forcing her to watch.

01:31:46They're forcing her to watch this.

01:31:49Hogan.

01:31:50Now you hold him and I'll hit him.

01:31:53Hogan wants no part of the Macho Man one on one.

01:31:57The NWO only operates as a gang of thugs.

01:32:05They're dirt bags, every one of them.

01:32:07You can look at them, you can tell.

01:32:08And look at the Giant holding Elizabeth.

01:32:10He's making her watch this.

01:32:11There's your XO, man.

01:32:12You like what you see, huh, sweetheart?

01:32:16Huh, toots, you like it?

01:32:17Just another in a long line of calculated attacks by the NWO.

01:32:25Everyone is standing.

01:32:31And you can hear Hollywood saying, I own you.

01:32:34Make her watch this.

01:32:36This is sick.

01:32:37Just obviously she's had.

01:32:40But look at Savage, he is out, he is unconscious.

01:32:43He got dropped across that guard rail, he got slammed on those steps.

01:32:50And Hollywood Hogan spits.

01:32:55And now debris beginning to sail into the ring.

01:33:01Hogan, you're a disgrace.

01:33:04To the human race.

01:33:05The NWO, all this, all of you.

01:33:13A scum.

01:33:14Why don't you snap into the swim gym, macho man?

01:33:16Why don't you snap into the swim gym, you piece of crap?

01:33:20Savage is hurt.

01:33:24This is beyond anything.

01:33:30And you can see that somebody holding NWO rules.

01:33:34This is sick.

01:33:35Well, they're gonna paint him.

01:33:43Look at this.

01:33:44No.

01:33:45Crime scene.

01:33:49Well, he doesn't have chalk, but he's obviously using this can of black spray

01:33:54paint.

01:33:55It's disgusting.

01:33:57All right, I understand the horsemen were looking for some help here.

01:34:01Sting is not here.

01:34:02The horsemen attending Sting.

01:34:05Ric Flair.

01:34:06Ric Flair, Sting, nowhere to be found.

01:34:08Ric Flair is hurt.

01:34:13Look at Elizabeth.

01:34:14Look at Elizabeth.

01:34:15She is beside herself.

01:34:16I gotta get out of here.

01:34:18Get us out of here.

01:34:23They're marking their spot.

01:34:24NWO rules.

01:34:27There lies the macho man.

01:34:30Somebody- Come on, not again.

01:34:32Somebody has got to put a stop to this carnage.

01:34:38It's disgusting.

01:34:42It's not gonna get any better.

01:34:43Oh, come on.

01:34:45It's not gonna get any better.

01:34:49Horseman.

01:34:52Flair is down.

01:34:53Sting is gone.

01:34:54Know something?

01:34:56By the power vested in me as Hollywood Hulk Hogan and the brotherhood of the NWO,

01:35:09I deem this consummation of the Macho Man Randy Savage and

01:35:17Miss Elizabeth null and void because I own you.

01:35:26Get us out of here.

01:35:26I own your body.

01:35:28I own your soul.

01:35:30I own your heart because it was etched in stone.

01:35:36Get us out of here.

01:35:37Miss Liz, you're mine.

01:35:40Ooh, yeah.

01:35:43Get us out of here.

01:35:45Please, cut the cameras.

01:35:48You know something, brothers?

01:35:50Just like the Macho Man has been destroyed, I seriously doubt he'll be at Halloween Havoc.

01:36:01Why don't you snap into a Slim Jim Macho puke?

01:36:06What's next?

01:36:07By the way, let's destroy the broadcast booth.

01:36:12No.

01:36:13Just like we destroyed the WCW.

01:36:17No way.

01:36:17Let the games begin.

01:36:18I'm not leaving.

01:36:20No way.

01:36:21No way.

01:36:21Let's run them over.

01:36:22Come on, guys.

01:36:23The heck?

01:36:23Bring her with us.

01:36:25The heck is that?

01:36:28The heck is that?

01:36:29Oh, my god.

01:36:30Get out of here.

01:36:31That's right.

01:36:33I pay a lot of money.

01:36:35That's right.

01:36:37That's right.

01:36:41That's right, baby.

01:36:42Turn it up.

01:36:48Turn it up.
