00:41And Nitro is on the air and we are live.
00:52Welcome to WCW, and already we have someone coming to the ring, Bobby Eaton.
01:10And notice this, Tony.
01:11He doesn't have any crutches and he seems to be walking pretty gingerly, wouldn't you
01:12say?
01:13I would.
01:14It's the Macho Man, Randy Savage, and Miss Elizabeth, Tony Schiavone, The Brain, and
01:22Larry Zbysko are here for this one hour edition, and he has the center of the ring all to himself.
01:33Oh, yeah.
01:35I am healed, yeah.
01:43Last week, when DDP attacked me from behind, it pumped up my adrenaline, and I slapped
01:52him so hard that he's got to use my crutch here.
01:59If he's here, tell him to hobble down right now, and I'll slap him Hollywood style.
02:12Yeah.
02:13Oh, yeah.
02:14Oh, yeah.
02:15A challenge for the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
02:16Welcome, everyone, to WCW Monday Nitro.
02:17We are live from Baltimore, and during this one hour telecast, fans, listen to this.
02:18Eric Bischoff, we do understand, informed World Championship Wrestling that he, Eric,
02:19was contacted by Sting.
02:20And now, he's here.
02:21Oh, yeah.
02:22Oh, yeah.

03:07Oh, yeah.
03:08Oh, yeah.
03:09Oh, yeah.
03:10Oh, yeah, let's go to you.
03:11We got you.
03:12We got you, Monday Nitro fans.
03:13As you know, we are now heading right to Slammory.
03:14We are now less than a week away.
03:16Six days removed from Sunday the 18th.
03:19We're in Charlotte, North Carolina.
03:20In the Independence Arena.
03:22We will talk Your Way Live, with the superstars of World Pick chair Wrestling,
03:30who are the biggest six-man tag team main event the sport has ever seen.
03:35where Kevin Green, Ric Flair, and the icon Roddy Roddy Piper meet the outsiders
03:40and six of the NWO.
03:42It'll be a night, gentlemen, where tradition will stand on its own two feet.
03:47You know, tradition being guys like Piper, like Ric Flair.
03:52Of course, you're the wild card in my mind, Kevin Green, but Roddy Piper,
03:57Ric Flair, masters of human chess.
03:59And they're not exactly getting in there with Deep Blue, Tony.
04:03They're getting in there with the Rat Pack.
04:05All right, let's hear some comments from the man who used to be the world
04:07television champion, standing by in the locker room, Lord Steven Regal.
04:11Dragon, you're holding something that means very much to me,
04:17the world's television title.
04:18Now, I may not do moonsaults, and I may not do Hanukkah and runners, but
04:22what I can do is outwrestle anybody in the world.
04:25You can take your Ric Flair's, you can take your Hulk Hogan's,
04:27you can take the likes of you, Sunshine, and I can outwrestle you, and
04:31I can outbeat you, because I'm going away from the nobility for a while, and
04:35I'm going back to my dirty, rotten, scoundrel self that did his best to
04:38blackball pleasure beads at the age of 15, beating men twice his age.
04:42And that's what I do best.
04:43Watch yourself.
04:44It'll be Regal's chance of getting that belt back coming up this coming Sunday,
04:48the world TV title against the Ultimate Dragon, a man he helped get the belt ring.
04:54I mean, he was a big part in the Ultimate Dragon winning that belt from Prince Ike.
04:59Well, what I like is he says he's going back to his old roots.
05:01He's gonna be mean and nasty like when he was a kid beating up people twice his age.
05:06That's what I want to see Lord Steven Regal do.
05:09Fans, if you just joined us later on in this telecast live here tonight,
05:12we understand Eric Bischoff contacted by Sting.
05:16Here's a cover by Jumanji Guerrero, and
05:18Eric will conduct an exclusive interview with Sting live here tonight on Nitro
05:25from the jam-packed Baltimore Arena.
05:27Had a great move that time, Larry, from Whoopin 2.
05:30Yeah, but why would Sting contact Bischoff?
05:32He can't be trusted.
05:34He doesn't have any authority anymore.
05:36He's been stripped.
05:37What's Sting got up his sleeve for tonight?
05:39Well, you see him with the baseball bats all the time, but
05:41now he's gonna talk to Bischoff one on one.
05:43Does that mean he wants to join the NWO, or he's gonna admit he is a member?
05:48I have no idea what he's gonna say.
05:49Remember the last time we saw Eric Bischoff in the ring,
05:52it was last week with Hulk Hogan where they made a challenge to Sting to come on
05:57in the ring and get a part of me, so to speak.
06:00Sting apparently gonna give some type of answer to that.
06:03Here tonight, and a great maneuver by the Dragon.
06:07Boy, he dropped Whoopin 2, got him right in the small of the back.
06:10Dragon, very aggressive guy.
06:12He's all over him, and we got a happy Sonny Ono walking around.
06:15You know, if you think about it,
06:16if Sting has something really that he wants to say one on one to Bischoff,
06:19he'd do it to his face someplace else.
06:21This is something he wants the whole world to hear.
06:23It's gonna be a very, very, very big announcement.
06:26The Dragon, almost like a sleeper hold that time on Whoopin 2 Grab,
06:29world television champion.
06:31Top to bottom, spectacular event from the Independent Tournament in Charlotte,
06:35North Carolina.
06:36And a jumping spin wheel kick that time caught the Dragon top of the head, and
06:40got a two count, says Randy Anderson, but only a two.
06:44Not enough height for Whoopin 2 to hold him down.
06:46Whoopin's giving up a lot of weight here, and the Dragon come around front.
06:50He got him anyway.
06:52And a bread suplex, almost got the three count.
06:54And what a major upset this would be.
06:56Only six days removed,
06:58Whoopin 2 Guerrero would go on to Slammory as the TV champ.
07:03Up on top, into a powerbomb.
07:06At that time, you can see the Dragon held his legs up, so
07:08he'd fall right in the back of his head.
07:10And that's exactly where he got it.
07:12You really can't waste any time, Brayne, against Whoopin 2, and
07:14that's what he's doing here.
07:16That's what he paid for.
07:16No, he landed on his feet.
07:21Follows through, almost got a sunset flip reversal into a three count that time.
07:25If he'd have had his legs down over his shoulders, he'd have had him.
07:29The Dragon to the attack again, hitting the near side ropes, the moonsault.
07:33One, two, no, did not get the three count that time.
07:36Yeah, couldn't cradle him up.
07:39Back to the attack once again.
07:40Big program, one hour here, live on Nitro, the exclusive interview.
07:45Eric Bischoff with the sting, coming up.
07:47Here's a one, two.
07:48Later on tonight, one, two again.
07:50Something that, like you said, Brayne,
07:52we've been waiting to hear from this man for more than six months now.
07:57Longer than that, almost a year, and he hasn't said a word to anybody.
08:00And now he wants to talk one on one with Bischoff.
08:03Yeah, but why would he call Bischoff?
08:05A lot of questions.
08:06Certainly, hopefully, we'll get answered a little bit later on here tonight, live.
08:11Call your friends, your family members.
08:13You'll wanna be here later on in this telecast here tonight.
08:15I just thought of, I hope they're not setting Sting up for something.
08:19Well, if Sting called down- That's what we hear, though.
08:21If Sting wanted to say something, he would just walk out and say it.
08:24Look at this.
08:25That's right, Larry, that's a great point.
08:27They are both up on top.
08:28Gigantic superplex released the man as he was hitting the mat.
08:32Boy, see, anything off the top rope, you put yourself in jeopardy, and
08:36that's the result right there.
08:37Even Ono's getting upset.
08:41There's Sonny Ono looking on.
08:44He's a great guy.
08:45You think so. He is a great guy.
08:47Yeah, don't count the wooden yin.
08:50Standing switch by Hubentude, and
08:52a reversal of that by the Dragon both men go outside.
08:58They're both getting up slow.
09:01Dragon first man to his feet, and now, after some spectacular moves from
09:05the inside, they're resorting to fisticuffs on the apron of the ring here.
09:08But trying to get back into position, Sonny Ono caught him from behind.
09:13There's a great guy, Brain, caught him from behind, and
09:16now, Sonny Ono by Hubentude, grabbing Ono by the lapel.
09:20Wait a minute.
09:21My goodness.
09:24Blindsided him.
09:25What a great cheap shot that was.
09:27If you think cheap shots are great, I guess you would be correct.
09:30Well, if they're in your favor, it's great.
09:32Of course, Larry.
09:33Nice kick.
09:35This man, Sonny Ono, is nobody to fool with.
09:36This man is a martial arts champion.
09:38What a guy.
09:42Back to the attack again.
09:44The Ultimate Dragon.
09:46And there you can see, based on that kick he got in the head, and
09:50then the one from Sonny Ono, and he's dazed up high.
09:53And there's his maneuver.
09:55Yeah, Guerrero, he's already wobbly, and
09:58it just got taken advantage of by the Dragon.
10:00He's got him hooked right here, going back.
10:02That's pressure on the neck, brother, right there.
10:05He's tapping.
10:06He's got him.
10:06He's got him.
10:08The Dragon Sleeper is on, and it puts Hubentude Guerrero out of the match.
10:15It is time for our Castro Torture Test of the week, and
10:18it features a man who will go on to Slammory this Sunday.
10:22Still the World Television Champion, the Ultimate Dragon.
10:25And look at this, off the middle rope, the Ultimate Dragon takes Hubentude down.
10:30Beautiful blind side right here.
10:32Drop kick, the man jumped over the top rope, caught him.
10:35He never knew what happened at that point.
10:36Everything just happened, the lights went out.
10:38And watch Mr. Ono here.
10:40We get a shot of this.
10:41Obviously, Hubentude says something to him to insult him.
10:44You don't do that to Sonny Ono.
10:47Off the top rope, takes his opponent Hubentude to the middle of the ring.
10:54And I'll guarantee you, the man's going nowhere.
10:57Puts him to sleep.
10:59Good night.
11:00Castro GTX, motor oil that stands up to the most torturous conditions.
11:04Let's go now to Mean Gene Okerlund.
11:06Just put him to sleep.
11:06Tony Schiavone, I thank you very much.
11:08Ladies and gentlemen, here in Baltimore, please join me in welcoming Kevin Green.
11:14Along with 13 time WCW Heavyweight Champion of the World,
11:21furniture boy, Ric Flair, joined by Roddy, Roddy Piper.
11:29Oh yeah.
11:31You know, Tony, if you think the roof's going off the plates here,
11:34imagine what it's going to be like in Charlotte when Flair,
11:37the icon, and Kevin Green walk the aisle.
11:41Yeah, well, they look good walking, but still, in my book,
11:43Kevin Green, can Flair and Piper focus his energy?
11:48We don't know.
11:49And that's why we're all going to be out of hand.
11:53Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen, Sunday night, right around the corner.
11:58Hold count for these men.
12:00Kevin Green, I know you are chomping at the bit.
12:03The NWO, this Sunday at Slamboree.
12:06I tell you what, Gene, I'm going to keep this short and simple.
12:10I have never lost in Charlotte.
12:13I'm undefeated.
12:16NWO, there's three things in this world that are definitive.
12:22They're cut and they're dry.
12:24Three things you can put in the bank.
12:27One, you got to pay some taxes.
12:30Two, eventually you're going to die.
12:32And three, in Charlotte, in Slamboree,
12:37I am going to break my foot off in your ass.
12:41I don't think he can say foot, Ric Flair.
12:46Me!
12:49Gene!
12:52Charlotte, North Carolina, Sunday night, Hall, Nash, Sixth.
13:00Count on it, the Hot Rod, the Nick Jamal, KG, will be there.
13:07Woo, yeah!
13:10Roddy Piper, I know this is one that would be a personal vendetta for
13:14you because what these men have said about you in the past.
13:17Boy, have I had some fights in this building.
13:20Outsiders, NWO saying they're the big lions.
13:28Lions, tigers, bears, this is not the Wizard of Oz, and I ain't Dorothy.
13:36You wanna talk about me being a dinosaur?
13:39Yes, I'm a dinosaur.
13:41Yes, I'm a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
13:44And in Charlotte, I'm gonna be starving.
13:49Hey, yo, hey, Piper, hey, Piper, yo, hey, Piper.
13:54Wait a minute.
13:55Hey, Piper.
13:57Hey, Piper.
13:58Right there.
14:00Hey, Piper.
14:02Hey, Piper, you so hungry?
14:05Well, I know where there's an all-you-can-eat buffet, and it's right down here.
14:08Down where?
14:09Right here.
14:11Hey, greetings from Charlotte.
14:15Woo, Nature Boy.
14:21Guess what your old lady's doing when you're out of town first thing in the morning, pal?
14:25What's that, man?
14:27She's leaving my hotel.
14:28Yo, we wish we could be there in Baltimore, but
14:35there wasn't enough cheese to go with all that wine, if you know what I mean.
14:42Cuz you two dinosaurs have been whining
14:47about how the Wolf Pack don't respect you.
14:51Yeah, we don't.
14:51Well, you're right.
14:53And after Sunday, right here in Charlotte,
14:57you're gonna have plenty to whine about cuz we're gonna snuff you out.
15:00Yeah, one last thing.
15:01You know, Green, you ain't gonna be able to show your face in Charlotte, so
15:05you might as well get traded.
15:07But you know what?
15:07Since we're calling the shots, as we always do, guess what, boys?
15:13The rules have changed.
15:14Cuz in Charlotte, next Sunday, no DQ, no count out.
15:20Somebody's getting beat in the middle.
15:22He may not be able to show his face, he might show his foot, though.
15:27Tony, back to you.
15:29What a roundhouse that's gonna be.
15:30Well, they just said no disqualification.
15:32There must be a winner coming up Sunday.
15:35The NWO in Charlotte, and we're in Baltimore.
15:38And we're live back with Dean Malenko against Mungo on Nitro.
15:43We look forward to seeing Mark Martin.
15:48Congratulations, Mark, on your second big victory in as many weeks on the Winston
15:52Cup Circuit.
15:54We're talking about a big victory, let's talk about this no disqualification.
15:58Yeah, that might work out in favor of Ric Flair and Piper and Kevin Green.
16:03Must be a winner.
16:05And you heard the NWO say, Green, they're calling the shots.
16:08They got 75% of the gate.
16:10I guess that's one of those interviews.
16:13And let me tell you people something.
16:15Reggie White, I hope you're a punch-drunk fox watching this.
16:19Because this is what some of the stuff you're gonna get.
16:22And all you idiots in Wisconsin, check it out.
16:25I'm gonna show you how the monsters of the midway used to take care of the Packers.
16:31Signing him up for five more years.
16:33I'm gonna send him back to you in a cheese box.
16:37Just don't eat him.
16:38Don't wear him on your head.
16:40Just shovel some dirt on him.
16:42And everybody seems to be talking about cheese.
16:44Remember, Hall's shooting off his big mouth.
16:47He didn't wanna be here cuz there's not enough cheese.
16:49That's cuz all the New World Order guys are ratchet.
16:52There's nothing wrong with it.
16:53Come on, child.
16:55Squeak, squeak.
16:56That's our coward.
16:58Way to say that Mongo is intense and pumped up for
17:00his one on one matchup with Reggie White is an understatement.
17:05Down to the last brain as Dean Malenko, the United States Heavyweight Champion,
17:09makes his way to the ring.
17:11And he has a title bout coming up against the man who's at ringside.
17:14Jeff Jarrett is coming Sunday.
17:17You know, all these deals and these contracts,
17:20these negotiations done by Eric Bischoff before he was suspended.
17:25NWO gets 75% of the gate and
17:27apparently they can call the shots coming up at Slamboree as well.
17:30They've changed the match.
17:31And Claire, Piper and Green seem to like the fact
17:35that there must be a winner in the middle of the ring.
17:38If you really think you're gonna beat the Nature Boy or
17:41his team in his hometown, in his backyard, it's not gonna happen.
17:46Yeah, well, I think the New World Order made a big mistake.
17:48I mean, Kevin Green doesn't know the rules for now.
17:50He doesn't have to worry about breaking them.
17:52And Flair's the dirtiest player in the game.
17:54No disqualification.
17:56That's right up the alley of Piper and Flair.
17:58And he's home.
17:59He's in his backyard.
18:00I'll drive him in.
18:04Malenko's gonna have to process it.
18:06The wrestler that Malenko is, don't go after McMichael's with power.
18:10That's a useless science.
18:12Beat him on the mat.
18:14Pretty tough spot for Malenko to be in here because you know how tight
18:17the Horsemen have been over the past years.
18:19And that is not counting the problems McMichael has had with Jarrett.
18:23But to face a member of the Horsemen six days before you defend your belt against
18:27the Horsemen's gotta be a tough thing to do.
18:29Did you think you'd see Steve McMichael when he first came to the broadcast here
18:33as a broadcaster in the ring doing this to Dean Malenko?
18:37No. I mean, he's come a long way.
18:39Hey, look at that.
18:39That's that smart of Malenko.
18:41Attack him low.
18:42Hit him in the knee.
18:43Mongo's a big guy.
18:44Get him on the mat and you're all the same size.
18:47Hit him up where he takes his cloverleaf.
18:48And I think Mongo saw that one coming.
18:50Grabbing Malenko by the hair and pulling the man over top.
18:53This will be a great test because we're seeing right here, will the size of Mongo,
18:57will the strength of Mongo and the inexperience outweigh the ability of
19:00Dean Malenko and the experience this man and
19:02his wrestling knowledge has in the ring?
19:04Jump ball.
19:05Jeff Jarrett now, is he sneaking up there?
19:07This has got to be distracting for Malenko.
19:10Along with that beautiful woman, Debra, of course that's distracting.
19:12It would be.
19:13Whatever.
19:13Would be distracting for anyone, but don't forget that Malenko is one of
19:17the most focused wrestlers this sport has ever seen.
19:19As he's almost trying to muscle Mongo around.
19:25I don't know if that's gonna work.
19:27He got him down.
19:27You gotta stay on him.
19:29Tie him up. Put holds.
19:30You know, put Mongo in a strange world.
19:32He's not used to.
19:33I don't want to tell Malenko what to do, but I'd have stayed on that knee.
19:35I'd have stayed working on that leg.
19:36Certainly.
19:40You don't want Mongo standing.
19:41Malenko's not gonna be standing.
19:49Mongo scoop slam.
19:51They hit the referee in the head with his boot.
19:53The foot of Mongo or the foot of Malenko inadvertently hit Mark Curtis.
19:57Mongo doesn't know it.
19:58Mongo is not aware of it yet.
19:59Mongo could get a three count here.
20:01Jarrett, count.
20:02Go ahead and count.
20:02Mongo picked, hey, get this budding ski out of here.
20:06Reggie White.
20:07Reggie White of Green Bay has made his appearance in the ring.
20:12And he may not wait to slam Marie.
20:16Hey, Jarrett got him instead of Mongo.
20:19That'll teach him for sticking his nose in.
20:23Mongo has Reggie White in the ring.
20:26And Reggie with a mammoth lariat.
20:34And a big splash.
20:36Don't forget, Mongo's already had a man.
20:38She's been in there five or ten minutes.
20:41He knocked the wind out of him.
20:44And Jarrett is just telling him to get out.
20:47He didn't go in after him at all.
20:50And it probably was a good thing as Reggie pushes him right out of the apron.
20:55Malenko, over.
20:56Malenko, one, two, three.
20:59But Malenko didn't win this match.
21:01Reggie White won this match.
21:034D Malenko.
21:05I don't think Reggie White won it.
21:06I think Jarrett won it for Malenko, but didn't want to do it that way.
21:11Mongo goes down one, two, three in the midst of a match that had just about everything.
21:17I can tell you guys, as a kid of Reggie goes out here,
21:23that's in the old cliche goes, just adds fuel to the fire for
21:28Chicago's Steve McMichael and Green Bay's-
21:32That's right.
21:34Reggie White this coming Sunday.
21:36Mongo's only gonna be madder next Sunday.
21:39Let's go to Gene Okerlund.
21:40I want him mad.
21:41All right, Tony, I thank you very much.
21:43I'm standing by with Reggie White.
21:45We've just seen what's happened to Reggie.
21:46You couldn't wait till this Sunday night at Slamboree in Charlotte,
21:50North Carolina, to face Steve Mongo McMichael.
21:53And apparently, this is a result, sir, of all of these comments that he has not made
21:58about you, but the great people of Green Bay, Wisconsin.
22:01You know me, Gene?
22:03You can talk about me all you want to.
22:06But when it comes to my family, and the Green Bay fans, and
22:09the Wisconsin fans, I take it personal.
22:12Or the Baltimore fans.
22:13Or the Baltimore fans, or the Philly fans.
22:16I take this stuff personal, me and Gene.
22:18If McMichael wanna talk about anybody, he can talk about me.
22:22But leave the people of Wisconsin out of this.
22:26All right, Reggie White, I'm very curious.
22:28You've seen what these people are capable of.
22:31Jeff Jarrett in there, and certainly the young lady in that very attractive skirt
22:36dress is gonna try to distract you.
22:38That may be what you're gonna be faced with this coming Sunday in Charlotte.
22:42I'm sure they'll do it.
22:43But I'm telling you, Green Bay and
22:47Chicago has been playing together against each other for years.
22:51It's the best rivalry in the game.
22:53But this Sunday, we will continue to see that Green Bay
22:57will always be better than the Chicago Bears.
23:00All right, there is a little interleague rivalry, if you will.
23:04Steve Angle, McMichael already challenging Reggie White.
23:08A couple of the football greats colliding head-on.
23:10World Championship Wrestling and Slavery this Sunday night in Charlotte.
23:15We're gonna be right back.
23:16What's the over under on that?
23:19Ten.
23:20None.
23:23We're all the way from Chesapeake Bay to the Blue Ridge Mountains in the mountains
23:28of North Carolina, Asheville, where Lee Marshall is standing by on behalf of
23:321-800-COLLECT.
23:33Hello there, Stagger Lee.
23:35Tony, you know I wish I could join you guys in Baltimore, but as you said,
23:38I'm enjoying a party, a Nitro party at one of the most scenic, beautiful, and
23:42just breathtaking parts of the country.
23:45But fans here in Asheville are not holding their breath and
23:47getting tickets for next Monday's Nitro.
23:49It comes from the Asheville Civic Center, and fans do not wait any longer.
23:53Call the box office first thing tomorrow morning.
23:55Now guys, when you get to Asheville, make sure you drive along the Blue Ridge
23:59Parkway, that's considered the most scenic roadway in all of America.
24:02And then visit the Biltmore Estate.
24:05You guys know that Asheville's Biltmore Estate has 250 rooms,
24:08it sits on 8,000 acres, it's the largest home in America.
24:13But before you just drop in,
24:14you need to know they're pretty strict at that Biltmore Estate.
24:16Cuz the first thing you're gonna see is a huge sign,
24:19the one that says no shoes, no shirt, no weasels.
24:23That's your 1-800-COLLECT road report from Asheville, North Carolina.
24:26I'm Lee Marshall for 1-800-COLLECT.
24:29What the people don't know is Lee Marshall's also sitting on 8,000 acres.
24:32Do you owe him money or something?
24:34He's always on you.
24:35We'll be in Asheville next week.
24:36And then on May 26th, WCW Monday Nitro Live from Nashville,
24:40Tennessee, Municipal Auditorium.
24:44Get your tickets there and stay tuned in the coming weeks for
24:47big announcements concerning WCW in Las Vegas.
24:51Right outside of Detroit, the Palace of Auburn Hills.
24:55And the Forum in Los Angeles.
24:57What a summer it's gonna be.
24:59We're gonna have some big announcements in the coming weeks about WCW coming to
25:03these locations.
25:03It's gonna be hot.
25:05It's hot already.
25:06It's gonna be hotter then.
25:09Scotty Riggs calling the American male.
25:10He is down for this one-on-one matchup.
25:14And we do understand that he is gonna face a big man that, up until this moment,
25:20we've only seen making attacks from the outside.
25:24We've never seen him in the ring.
25:26Well, this is one of Vandenberg's rare oddities.
25:29Let's see what the guy has to back up his size.
25:32Let's hear this from James Vandenberg.
25:37Well, I'm waiting.
25:39So am I.
25:44Scary.
25:49For weeks, you've speculated about the identity of our mysterious ally.
25:56And you've seen exactly what he can do.
25:59Tonight, I reveal his name.
26:02I have signed the most dangerous man in the history of pro wrestling.
26:08Now stare in awe as I unleash the wrath.
26:16Well, it's one of the seven deadly sins.
26:24The man's name is Wrath.
26:27And he has, as Vandenberg has said,
26:32been quite a commodity for this group.
26:37Yeah, but he's been a commodity in a very sneaky way.
26:42He's never been one-on-one with anybody, so let's see what he's got.
26:46I would think from what we have seen so far, and
26:50Glacier would probably be the first to tell you, the man is lethal.
26:54Yeah, Scotty Riggs should be a decent catch before his cowardly partner,
26:59Buffy Bagwell, stabbed him in the back.
27:02Scotty Riggs, not a bad wrestler.
27:04Not near as big as Wrath.
27:07We'll see what Riggs can do with him.
27:09Very simple.
27:10If he works for Vandenberg and Vandenberg signed him,
27:13he's gonna be a very, very sick man.
27:16Rare oddity.
27:17A rare oddity, yeah.
27:20Wrath, making his wrestling debut here on WCW Monday Nitro.
27:26Got to be about six, eight.
27:29Every bit, one of the biggest men we've ever seen.
27:31That's not Glacier's helmet he has on, is it?
27:37There is Mortis.
27:43Mortis with his back to the ring.
27:45What would he be looking for?
27:49Hope it's not me.
27:50I can only assume that he is looking for Glacier.
27:54You're talking about the helmet of Glacier.
27:56The helmet of Glacier is in the possession of James Vandenberg at ringside.
28:02He's a collector, Tony.
28:03Did you see what happened at the beginning?
28:04I mean, Scotty Riggs, he's no slouch in there, but
28:07Wrath just pushed him around like he was a baby.
28:10Riggs making a big mistake.
28:11Never go after the big men's upper body.
28:13Wrath picks him up.
28:17What a show of power, what force.
28:20That picture perfect execution, and he got him right in the small of the back.
28:26That's the target area and Wrath hit it.
28:28He's well over 300 pounds, looks in tremendous shape.
28:34Has him hooked, drives him down.
28:43He's not going anywhere.
28:44One, two, three.
28:46Very impressive, very impressive, Wrath.
28:50Boy, the only other man I've seen execute a move like that was The Giant.
28:54Hey, hey, look at them lights.
29:00My goodness.
29:03The lights, the lasers, the sound.
29:06That means Glacier, and here he comes.
29:09We're gonna have it right now.
29:11Look at him, he doesn't have the helmet on, but look at his eyes.
29:14You can see him from here, they're burning.
29:16Snow or no snow.
29:18He better not go out there with both of Vandenberg's men out there.
29:21You know, that busy body today caught me in the hallway again, and
29:24he told me he heard Glacier mumbling, Sinosin, Sinosin,
29:29which in Japanese means to attack.
29:32I don't know, maybe Glacier's ready.
29:35We'll be back on Nitro.
29:37Check the eyes.
29:38Well, Nitro continues to be the number one wrestling program in the entire world.
29:41It's a very special hello to all of our fans watching wherever you are.
29:45We have a group of fans on the USS Constellation Carrier,
29:49the Marines and sailors along with Onion.
29:52Good to have you with us.
29:54Onion?
29:55Good to have you with us, and
29:58watching WCW Monday Nitro wherever you are.
30:03Monday Nitro wherever you are.
30:04I feel unsafe for knowing that our shores are guarded by a guy named Onion.
30:08Here we are with Conan and Hugh Boyce, Jimmy Hart.
30:14Two man tag team of superb making their way in, and
30:18members of Baltimore Ravens are here with us as well, including Michael Jackson.
30:22Michael Jackson.
30:23Ray Lloyd.
30:24He put on some weight.
30:25Deron Jenkins is here tonight, Benny Thompson.
30:28Many of the great players of the Ravens.
30:30What's a Raven?
30:32Never mind, used to live in Cleveland.
30:34Nevermore.
30:35That's exactly right, Larry.
30:38Edgar Allen Poe's from Baltimore.
30:41See, you know more than you let on sometimes.
30:43It's not easy being a legend, Shivani.
30:45So is the guy that invented the candy bar from here.
30:47Ice Train and Alex Wright along with Kenny Long.
30:57Make their way to the ring in this tag team match here live on WCW Monday Nitro.
31:01Ice Train looks like he's getting bigger.
31:02He's got his shoulders.
31:05He is immense, and he and Kenny Long make their way out.
31:08And Alex Wright, actually a little bit of dancing once again here.
31:11And later, his back went out.
31:13I thought he was having a seizure.
31:14You never know with him.
31:16You see this capacity crowd on hand, and of course, you know that
31:21the tradition that means WCW, the tradition that of course, that Ric Flair
31:27has met and stood for all these- Hey, look at the captain in the corner.
31:32But Alex Wright took off.
31:33He didn't even want to have a part of this.
31:34Where did he go anyway?
31:35He was smart.
31:36You know, Ice Train and Alex Wright are gonna have a tough time against these guys.
31:41I mean, Alex Wright speaks broken English with a German accent.
31:46I don't know how well these guys can communicate.
31:48Hugh Morris, along with Jimmy Hart, nice power slam.
31:53You're right, that was a power slam.
31:56Alex wants the tag.
31:57Come on, make tags.
32:00There you go.
32:01Alex Wright up on top.
32:02Alex Wright into Hugh Morris.
32:06Hugh Morris a big man, but look at Alex.
32:08Very aggressive here this week.
32:11Don't showboat, kid.
32:12You're right about that, Brian.
32:14I'll tell you, this team of Conan and Hugh Morris, they're sleepers as far as I'm
32:17concerned.
32:18I believe they can beat anybody.
32:19And it won't be long before they'll be champions of the world.
32:22Definitely have the potential.
32:25No doubt about it.
32:26Alex Wright doing a lot of showboating, a lot of posing here.
32:29My goodness.
32:30He's in the right corner, but Ice Train should have hooked Hugh Morris.
32:33That would have come out of the corner.
32:35Alex using the quickness now.
32:38Ice Train wasn't even looking.
32:40Morris is hot.
32:44Pulls him in, and Alex Wright was the man that got Hugh Morris angry.
32:49And now it's Ice Train getting the brunt of the frustration of Hugh Morris here.
32:53Well, you're supposed to make a lot of tags.
32:55Just look to me like Ice Train was looking at Teddy Long.
32:57Didn't notice Alex Wright coming.
32:59Always keep your eye on your partner.
33:03He got a little bit of a- What is he doing?
33:07I wouldn't worry about dancing when you're in there with Hugh Morris and Conan.
33:09Keep your mind on what's going on in the ring.
33:12You're Teddy Long, keep your mind on what's going on in the ring.
33:14Yeah, always watch your partner.
33:16First thing you learn.
33:20Fans still to come, Eric Bischoff says he has an exclusive interview
33:24that he will conduct here tonight with Sting.
33:27Live on Nitro.
33:29We await that in this program,
33:30this one hour edition prior to the NBA playoffs here on TNT.
33:35And there's Ice Train using his power and his weight to get an advantage here.
33:39That's it, drag him over and tag the kid.
33:41Don't look to me like Alex Wright wants to be in there.
33:44He's got a bad knee.
33:45Apparently so.
33:48Now that he got a set.
33:49What's going on with him?
33:51I have no idea, but maybe he's got a bum knee, I don't know.
33:53He's starting to limp.
33:55He wasn't limping when he was dancing.
33:57He's grabbing long.
33:59I don't think this tag team's gonna work out well.
34:03No, I think there's a few flaws here.
34:05I don't think it's gonna work out well right now because Alex Wright is leaving.
34:09We should have him guard the coast with Onion.
34:12Spinning neck breaker.
34:14Alex Wright is gone and Ice Train has to contend with both men.
34:19But Ice Train, he's in the twilight zone.
34:22He's not gonna contend with anything.
34:25Jimmy, I just directed you.
34:27He came down.
34:32I thought Ice Train was about ready to get flattened.
34:35Ice Train now at the mercy of Conan and Hugh Morris.
34:41Mercy's not in the Dungeon of Doom vocabulary.
34:43Teddy Wong, he don't know what to think of this.
34:45This one's over.
34:46Ice Train can take no more.
34:48So.
34:49He was beaten and also stabbed in the back.
34:51Yes, he was.
34:51Everybody knows I'm the greatest.
34:52Look at me.
34:53Look at my body.
34:54Girls, eat your hearts out.
34:56Look at me.
34:57Look at his body.
35:00Everybody knows he's the greatest.
35:02I don't know that.
35:03Did this kid snap or something?
35:05I don't know what it is.
35:06But a newfound attitude from Alex Wright.
35:10That may be it.
35:11He grew up. That's what happened.
35:12He grew up.
35:13Still to come in this program, an interview with Sting.
35:16Exclusive interviews.
35:18Eric Bischoff, believe it or not, and more action on Nitro.
35:21That caught from of the year.
35:24We welcome everyone back.
35:32And you know, at the beginning of this program, the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
35:35discussed, talked about the injury to Diamond Dallas Page a week ago.
35:40And he's right.
35:41Last week on this program, the NWO completely took over, Bray.
35:45No doubt about that.
35:46Since the NWO has been here at WCW, that's all they've done, Tony, is take over.
35:50And Larry, let's take a look at the footage now as it happened a week ago.
35:54And talk about what happened.
35:56He came out to help out the Giant,
35:58because Lex Luger had been injured in Japan by the NWO.
36:01And look what happened.
36:02Well, Macho Man's there with the clutches.
36:04Diamond snatched him away.
36:06But look at it, it was almost like they were bait,
36:08because Hollywood Hogan came out of nowhere.
36:11Scary thing is, Tony.
36:13Wait a minute.
36:13Hold on, Larry.
36:14Wait a minute.
36:15Wait a minute.
36:15What's going on backstage?
36:16But something is going on in the backstage area.
36:20We have dispatched a cameraman right now.
36:22And you are following the cameraman now back as something is going on live.
36:26We've been told by our backstage producers to go back.
36:29We must see this.
36:31And you are looking live right now.
36:32Where are we going here?
36:33Well, that was six.
36:37Well, that was six.
36:38That's Kevin Nash.
36:39Kevin Nash.
36:40Piper's down.
36:41Piper's down.
36:42He's holding his hip.
36:43Randy Piper holding his hip.
36:45He's down.
36:46They were in Charlotte.
36:48And the hip was the one he had an operation on.
36:52Security getting to Piper, but he is in an exorbitant amount of pain here.
36:56Get on out of here.
36:57All right.
36:58Look at the dressing room is trashed.
36:59They must have beat him up in there pretty bad.
37:01Fans, we've got to step out for a commercial break.
37:04I have- But not now.
37:06No, Coach.
37:07My goodness, Piper- That was right in the artificial hip leg.
37:10Piper has been injured at the hands of the NWO.
37:13Fans, we'll be right back.
37:14We're in Charlotte.
37:25We're at NWO music fans, and we talked about it.
37:30The information we received from Erik Bischoff
37:32was that Stage wanted to do an exclusive one on one interview with him,
37:37and here he is.
37:38Welcome people.
37:40Yes, yes, yes.
37:43I don't know, why would Sting even waste his time calling a man like
37:48Eric Bischoff, who you know is one of the biggest liars on the planet Earth?
37:54You're not gonna get a straight answer from him?
37:56I said last week that Sting would pick his moment.
37:59He would be the man to determine.
38:01And last week, with all that party going down,
38:04that we saw brain right before the break, before we saw Piper get nailed in the back.
38:10We thought and we hoped that Sting would make an appearance, he did not.
38:14But apparently, he will here tonight.
38:17And he will have a response for what happened last week, hopefully.
38:21Well, I hope he does the talking instead of his ball bat.
38:24I wanna hear what he's got to say.
38:25No, I don't know, he takes his ball bat.
38:27Well, then he- And wears the mouth with it.
38:28Yeah, that's all I want.
38:29Just drop down, hit Eric with a baseball bat, and go on about your business.
38:34But I'd like to hear what's been going through his mind for the last seven,
38:37eight, nine, ten months.
38:38Yeah, I also wanna know where the rest of the New World Order is.
38:41You know, Bischoff is a coward.
38:43He's not walking down to the ring by himself.
38:45They're out here somewhere.
38:47He may look by himself, but he's not.
38:50Well, we know they're not in Charlotte.
38:52We found that out, and so did Roddy, Roddy Piper, broodling.
38:56Maybe we can get a report on Piper's condition.
38:58I haven't heard anything yet, but the security officers
39:05ran us right out of that locker room.
39:07And that's the question, is he going to be okay?
39:11Can Piper compete in the six-man tag coming up at Slammory this coming Sunday?
39:18I love you people too, man.
39:22Get me that air stick bag.
39:25He's got his own mic cube.
39:26Makes me wanna cry.
39:29What's a mic cube?
39:30That's the cube on the microphone.
39:31I know how you feel here tonight, and to think this is where it all started.
39:40But I promised the world that they wanted to hear from Sting.
39:46He promised.
39:46I'm a man of my word.
39:48Right.
39:52He's looking up.
39:55I'm looking up.
39:56You want him?
39:57You want to hear Sting talk for the first time in months?
40:02Well, so do I, because I want to know where he was last week
40:08when we were looking for him.
40:11So without any further ado, let's bring him out now.
40:17Sting.
40:19That's his music.
40:26Check the ceiling.
40:27Check under the table.
40:29Wait a minute.
40:38Yeah, it's another bogus NWO.
40:41This is another New World Order- Rip off.
40:44Fiasco, it's another fish off blunder.
40:48That's not Sting, that's Sting.
40:54And the fans are not buying it either here.
40:59We should have known.
41:00You know, I thought something, Fizzy, when you read the memo about Sting calling
41:05Eric, I knew Sting wouldn't call Bischoff.
41:09You did not need to bring that bat.
41:16This is an interview, and I'm acting as an announcer.
41:23You could have left that home.
41:29It's getting deep.
41:33They want to hear what you have to say.
41:38These are your people.
41:42Half of them anyway.
41:47But what I want to know, the truth.
41:55Isn't it true that throughout your wrestling career,
42:01you have been compared to, even by members of the WWE,
42:06you have been compared to, even by members of your own family,
42:13you have been compared to Hollywood Hogan?
42:17True or not true?
42:21And isn't it true that the people that make those comparisons
42:27believe that you will never, ever accomplish what
42:31Hollywood Hogan has accomplished in this industry?
42:37And isn't true that way down deep inside,
42:43in places where no one can see,
42:49that you really know, you know,
42:54that you will never,
42:58never, ever, ever,
43:03you know that you will never measure up to Hollywood Hogan.
43:10True or not true?
43:13Do we really have to watch this garbage?
43:15Crying out loud.
43:16Something's happening.
43:19Wait a minute.
43:20Something is happening.
43:21Yeah, you're not kidding to this.
43:22We got another sting.
43:23The real sting is here.
43:26He's here live.
43:27And our interview official.
43:30That's right, hold the microphone now.
43:32Come on, get Mickey Mantle out of there and interview him.
43:46Sting must be nuts to get in there unarmed.
43:49He's not unarmed.
43:50He's not that strong.
43:52He's got the big back.
43:53A little BP out here right now.
43:57A home run derby.
43:59We wanna hear what he has to say.
44:03And that takes care of Sting.
44:07Look at Bischoff powering.
44:09Scorpion Death Drop.
44:11He's gone.
44:13If you're smart, Erick, run for your life.
44:16Yeah, go get the rest of the cheese with the rest of the rats.
44:19Look, he turns his back on Bischoff.
44:22And there goes Erick Bischoff.
44:23How about the interview?
44:27Bobby, Bobby, Bobby.
44:30What about this interview?
44:31Come on back here.
44:32Stop it, a coward's gone with the wind.
44:35Ladies and gentlemen, Sting has arrived, and Erick Bischoff is gone.
44:40We'll see you at Slammory Sunday.
