00:00:30Hello again, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Jacksonville, Florida.

00:00:40We are live for Clash of Champions XIII Thanksgiving Thunder.

00:00:44Hello again, everyone. Jim Ross and Paul E. Danersley here at ringside.

00:00:47Eleven great matches puts a live danger zone, the Stinger, face-to-face with the Black Scorpion.

00:00:52Plus tonight, if Doom wins the match, Teddy Long will win Ric Flair's limousine and his 65-foot yacht.

00:01:00But think about this. If the Horsemen win, they not only get a shot at Starrcade, but Teddy Long has to be Ric Flair's chauffeur for a day.

00:01:09Plus, ladies and gentlemen, the Motor City Man-Man will be taking on Lex Luger.

00:01:14And let me just say this. If you're a fan of Lex Luger, dial 1-900-909-9900.

00:01:20And you can talk to the title package live for the last time.

00:01:25He's on the hotline right now with Lance Russell and Gordon Sully. Let's go now up to Gary Marco Cappetta.

00:01:33Ladies and gentlemen, this first contest on Clash of Champions, it is set for one fall.

00:01:40It is a six-man tag team event.

00:01:44Introducing team number one.

00:01:48Accompanied to the ring by their number one roadie and best friend, Little Richard Marley.

00:01:56And also, from the dark side, beautiful Bobby Eaton.

00:02:05From Backstreet USA in Atlanta, Georgia, the greatest rock and roll fan of all time,

00:02:13The Fabulous Greenbergs!

00:02:25Before they come out, you might want to notice...

00:02:44Ladies and gentlemen, from the heartlands of the south, Tracy Smothers, Steve Armstrong, The Wild and Southern Boys!

00:03:02I might just direct y'all's attention to the mere fact that the Southern Boys are giant-less.

00:03:12Well, if you want to solve a mystery and wonder where the Big Goof is,

00:03:18check Jacksonville International Airport, Delta Baggage, the biggest box marked Argentina.

00:03:30Well, I don't know what's going on here, but this is scheduled to be a six-man tag team event.

00:03:35Apparently, the Freebirds and beautiful Bobby have had something to do, Paul, with the disappearance of the Giant.

00:03:40They beat him up! They finished him off! They realize they don't want to step in the ring with a guy 7'7", 400-some-odd pounds.

00:03:48They beat him up! He's through!

00:03:52...by the referee that since the Freebirds claim responsibility for El Gigante's absence, this will not, I repeat, not be a three-on-two.

00:04:03And beautiful Bobby Eaton must go back to the dressing room.

00:04:07What? Why?

00:04:10That's a good call. Why make it three or four-on-two? That's good officiating in my book.

00:04:17Hey, you know, you like to talk about football. If the quarterback doesn't show up, you still got to play the game.

00:04:23The Giant didn't show up.

00:04:25This isn't football. This is world championship wrestling, and you're not going to see WCW officials allow this type of gross mismatch.

00:04:33Hey, the guy's not tough enough to stand one beating. Come on!

00:04:38Well, if the Freebirds are as good as you and they proclaim they are, it shouldn't make any difference.

00:04:43But I wanted to see beautiful Bobby wrestle.

00:04:46Collar and elbow tie-up, Jimmy Jam Garvin starting off with Tracy Smothers.

00:04:51The fabulous Freebirds, a very notorious team.

00:04:56They put Robert Gibson, the Rock and Roll Express out of action.

00:04:58Highly brawled by Tracy Smothers.

00:05:00Garvin to the near side, another leapfrog by Smothers.

00:05:02High hip-hop takeover.

00:05:04And Smothers takes over.

00:05:07Double dropkick.

00:05:10The Centerboys elect to find this crowd a new legend.

00:05:20What's that?

00:05:22They hit our best friend.

00:05:24Now, there's no call for that.

00:05:26Now, there's no call for that.

00:05:28What did Little Richard Marley do to deserve being beat up by two rednecks like that?

00:05:34They know as well as everybody else that watches television, that watches TBS, that Little Richard Marley, they say he's a roadie.

00:05:41I say he's a gopher. I say he's here to involve himself.

00:05:44That's why he's here, not for moral support, because he doesn't have any.

00:05:48If somebody was going to get involved, don't you think they'd keep beautiful Bobby at ringside?

00:05:53He's an accomplished athlete.

00:05:55Michael Hayes now working on Tracy Smothers.

00:05:57Garvin and Hayes double teaming.

00:05:59Referee Mike Atkins.

00:06:01Wait a minute.

00:06:02Watch out!

00:06:05Oh, high crossbody off the top rope in the Clash of Champions.

00:06:09Getting off to a tremendous start here on TBS.

00:06:13And like true Southerners, the Southernboys do nothing but double team an accomplished team.

00:06:19The former World Tag Team Champions, the Fabulous Freebirds.

00:06:24Fans, don't forget in this program, it will be Sting and the Scorpion face-to-face.

00:06:29Will we find out more of the Scorpion's identity?

00:06:32What will he do? He says he's going to show us more of his evil magic.

00:06:35We'll have that later in this broadcast.

00:06:38Side headlock by Michael Hayes on Tracy Smothers.

00:06:41Smothers shoots him off.

00:06:45Good arm drag takeover by Smothers.

00:06:47Scooping Michael Hayes up and slams him.

00:06:49He scoops up Jimmy Garvin.

00:06:51He dominates him.

00:06:53Smothers down in that football stance with a double clothesline.

00:06:56Smothers, he played football for Carson Newman.

00:06:59A great NEIA power in Tennessee.

00:07:02Shows that football ability.

00:07:04Now you were just telling me it's not football.

00:07:06And now the guy uses a football maneuver.

00:07:08Now make up your mind.

00:07:10Is it football or is it not football?

00:07:12It's wrestling.

00:07:13I was using an analogy.

00:07:19Irish whip by Smothers.

00:07:20Great quickness over the top rope.

00:07:22But Hayes nailed him with that left hand.

00:07:25Big left hand by Michael Hayes.

00:07:27Found its mark on the jaw of Tracy Smothers.

00:07:30And now you're going to see where the Freebirds are at their most dangerous.

00:07:34When they have a man down, when they have a man weakened.

00:07:37That's how they hurt Robert Gibson.

00:07:39That's probably how they beat up Al Egante.

00:07:43Scoop slam by Jimmy Garvin at Star King.

00:07:46Exclusively on pay-per-view.

00:07:48It will be the Freebirds versus Ricky Morton and Tommy Rich.

00:07:53And Robert Gibson will be at ringside.

00:07:55Unprecious as it were.

00:07:57But he will be in St. Louis at ringside for Star King.

00:08:01Smothers.

00:08:02Sunset flip.

00:08:03Going for the pin.

00:08:04And he got two.

00:08:06Beautiful.

00:08:07Beautiful clothesline by Jimmy Jam Garvin.

00:08:10See, that's what the Freebirds are all about.

00:08:12You can get them down.

00:08:13But they come right back at you.

00:08:16Garvin scooping up Tracy Smothers.

00:08:20And now Jimmy Jam Garvin.

00:08:22Climbing to the top.

00:08:25Here on TBS.

00:08:26And Smothers meets him.

00:08:27With right hands.

00:08:30Garvin up on the top.

00:08:31Dropped down by Tracy Smothers.

00:08:34Both men need to make the tag.

00:08:36Both men have made the exchange.

00:08:42Here we go.

00:08:43Here we go.

00:08:44Here we go.

00:08:45Double suplex by the Freebirds.

00:08:52Armstrong off the top.

00:08:54They're fighting fire with fire.

00:08:56Who's the legal man?

00:08:59To tell you the truth, I'm not sure who the legal man is.

00:09:02I know it's not Little Richard Marley, who's on the apron.

00:09:07Holds on.

00:09:08Oh, man.

00:09:10Up and over.

00:09:11To the runway.

00:09:12Little Richard brought in.

00:09:15That should have been a disqualification.

00:09:16Right there.

00:09:17Up and over.

00:09:18He cleared the top rope.

00:09:20He cleared the top rope.

00:09:21What a move.

00:09:23Little Richard tripped Smothers.

00:09:26Little Richard tripped Smothers.

00:09:28One, two.

00:09:29Got him.

00:09:31And ladies and gentlemen, the winners of the match,

00:09:35the WS Freebirds.

00:09:39Little Richard Marley tripped Tracy Smothers

00:09:41right into Michael Hayes' DDT.

00:09:44No, no, no, no, no.

00:09:46Another great victory for the fabulous Freebirds.

00:09:50Here you see Armstrong using a totally illegal maneuver.

00:09:54Coming up over the top rope.

00:09:56The fabulous Freebirds.

00:09:57They took out Gibson.

00:09:58They took out Egante.

00:10:00They've taken out the Southern boys.

00:10:02And watch Little Richard over there on the far side of the ring.

00:10:04He tripped Smothers right there.

00:10:06He stumbles right into the DDT.

00:10:09Oh, please.

00:10:10He's just clumsy.

00:10:11You can't give the Freebirds enough credit.

00:10:13The DDT by Michael P.S. Hayes.

00:10:15Our colleague Tony Schiavone is standing by.

00:10:18Tony has started off with a lot of fire.

00:10:20Up to you.

00:10:22Okay, Jim Ross.

00:10:23And okay, Paulie Danderson.

00:10:25You're exactly right.

00:10:26It is starting out red hot right here on the Clash from Jacksonville.

00:10:30And we want to bring in, and it is my pleasure to bring in,

00:10:33the one and only champion of the world,

00:10:36ladies and gentlemen, and welcome with me,

00:10:38this is Steve!

00:10:42What an ovation for the heavyweight champion of the world.

00:10:48Thousands upon thousands on their feet cheering the champion.

00:10:54I'll tell you what, Stinger.

00:10:56You can hear, not only here in Jacksonville,

00:10:58but all across the country, TBS, they're red hot.

00:11:00You, I know, are prepared for tonight face-to-face with Lex Luthor.

00:11:04You know who I am, Tony Schiavone.

00:11:06We're talking face-to-face just like that.

00:11:08Tony Schiavone, we're talking face-to-face just like you and me.

00:11:12Stinger against the Black Scorpion.

00:11:14Finally, once and for all, we get it set up just the way we want it to be.

00:11:22And that is on the Danger Zone right here this evening on TBS.

00:11:26Paulie Danderson, he's not one of my favorite people,

00:11:29but you know, he set this thing up, so let's go for it on national TV.

00:11:33All right, the Stinger, prepared for later on right here on national TV.

00:11:38And fans, we'll have more on TBS right after this.

00:11:41Don't you dare go away.

00:11:42Sting.

00:11:43What in the world?

00:11:44Wait a second.

00:11:45Sting.

00:11:46You know something about this?

00:11:47You better let me know what's going on.

00:11:51Apparently, the voice of the Black Scorpion...

00:11:52The people have waited for you,

00:11:55but I know you have been waiting for me.

00:11:59Apparently, the voice of the Black Scorpion,

00:12:01Jim Paul, I know everybody can hear him.

00:12:03The Stinger, once again.

00:12:04I'll tell you what, Sting.

00:12:06In just a short while,

00:12:08I'll give you and everyone a chance to see

00:12:11my great powers of black magic

00:12:15in just a little while, Sting.

00:12:21Bye for now, Sting.

00:12:32Stinger, I'm not so sure.

00:12:34Visibly upset, the Stinger.

00:12:37Still to come, face to face with the Black Scorpion

00:12:39right here on TBS.

00:12:40Fans, don't you dare go away.

00:12:55Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest,

00:12:58it is set for one fall.

00:13:00Introducing first, from Jacksonville, Florida,

00:13:04weighing 235 pounds,

00:13:07Nature Boy, Buddy Landau!

00:13:18And ladies and gentlemen, his opponent...

00:13:22From Cincinnati, Ohio,

00:13:26weighing 226 pounds,

00:13:29welcome Brian Bryan!

00:13:38A tremendous ovation for the youngster from Cincinnati,

00:13:42the former bingo man, Nature Boy, Buddy Landau,

00:13:45locking it up, and Landau with the early advantage

00:13:48here in this one.

00:13:49Well, the Nature Boy has a big score to settle

00:13:51with Flyin' Brian.

00:13:52It was Pillman that embarrassed the Nature Boy

00:13:54at the Great American Bash.

00:13:57Landau competing before his home crowd here.

00:14:00He's not very popular in Jacksonville

00:14:02or anywhere else, for that matter,

00:14:04but he's starting off very quickly

00:14:06against Flyin' Brian.

00:14:11Working on his neck

00:14:13as Pillman lays over that middle rope.

00:14:15And, of course, the people are not saying,

00:14:17Boo!

00:14:18They're saying, Buddy, Buddy, Buddy!

00:14:22Landau, Pillman with a pin!

00:14:25One, two and a half!

00:14:27Landau up very quickly, beats Pillman up.

00:14:30And Pillman's got him!

00:14:31There's an inside cradle!

00:14:32One, two, but again Landau kicks out.

00:14:36And is up very quickly

00:14:37and meets Pillman with a right hand.

00:14:39See, Landau learned at the Great American Bash

00:14:41you can't take Pillman lightly,

00:14:42and Pillman is a great, great athlete,

00:14:44but Landau is really taking it to him quick here.

00:14:47Nice reversal, good counter move.

00:14:49Both arms cupped, and again Landau

00:14:52kicks out, he's met with a clothesline.

00:14:55Three near falls here,

00:14:56and a clothesline takes him over!

00:14:59Now, why wasn't Pillman disqualified right there?

00:15:02Hey!

00:15:03Pillman used the top rope for leverage!

00:15:06Air Pillman!

00:15:10Oh, no, you gotta stop him!

00:15:14You gotta stop him!

00:15:18Landau with a right hand, he blocked the piledriver.

00:15:21Elevated Pillman over.

00:15:25Big right by Landau,

00:15:27sends Pillman back into the ring.

00:15:29What's good for the goose is good for the nature boy!

00:15:32And now Buddy Landau is gonna take out

00:15:34all his aggressions on Flyin' Brian!

00:15:38Landau meets him with a knee,

00:15:40and Flyin' Brian meets the steel

00:15:42that surrounds the ring.

00:15:47Landau very aggressive

00:15:49here at the Clash of Champions.

00:15:52He drops Pillman over the security railing

00:15:55as senior referee Nick Patrick

00:15:57admonishes Landau for his unsportsmanlike acts.

00:16:01Yeah, but he's not counting out until the ref hits ten.

00:16:04Oh!

00:16:06He missed that clothesline,

00:16:08met the steel ring post.

00:16:11Big chop by Pillman.

00:16:13Really nailing Landau.

00:16:18Good.

00:16:19Landau shoving Pillman into the post.

00:16:22See, to me, this is a great matchup,

00:16:24because everybody knows that the nature boy Buddy Landau

00:16:27has patterned himself after nature boy Ric Flair.

00:16:30He's idolized Ric Flair for years and years,

00:16:32and, of course, Pillman, the only wrestler on record

00:16:35to ever be trained by the nature boy Ric Flair himself.

00:16:39Straight right hand by Landau.

00:16:41Now dominating Pillman.

00:16:43There's a chop.

00:16:44I don't know that you can hear that one.

00:16:46Say it. It's a Ric Flair-like chop, too.

00:16:50Pillman brings Landau out.

00:16:52There's a dropkick by Flyin' Brian.

00:16:55And Pillman...

00:16:57sends Landau out of bounds.

00:17:00Hey!

00:17:03Hard crossbody up the middle rope.

00:17:07The crowd loves it.

00:17:09They're in Jacksonville, Florida.

00:17:12Ooh, this is a tough match.

00:17:14It's physical here already at the Clash of Champions,

00:17:18and we're just getting underway.

00:17:20And Landau was smart.

00:17:21He got Pillman right back into the ring,

00:17:23because you can't pin your opponent

00:17:25on the outside of the ring.

00:17:30Landau, the abdominal stretch,

00:17:33and the ropes for leverage.

00:17:35Taking a blatant shortcut

00:17:37with a referee out of position here.

00:17:39But it's not illegal unless the referee sees you do it,

00:17:42and obviously old Ray Charles in there

00:17:44doesn't see Buddy Landau doing this.

00:17:46Well, it's illegal always,

00:17:48but you're only made to break the hold if he's caught.

00:17:53Of course it's illegal.

00:17:54That's Landau's style.

00:17:56He's got great ability,

00:17:57but he likes to bend the rules, to say the least.

00:18:00As he's cheating again, as you can see,

00:18:02he's using the ropes for leverage.

00:18:04He learned well from his idol,

00:18:06Nature Boy Ric Flair.

00:18:11I wonder if Flair is ashamed of the fact

00:18:13that Flying Brian was his protege.

00:18:16Here comes Pillman, fighting back,

00:18:18but Landau meets him with a knee right to the midsection.

00:18:22Again, Pillman has the, or excuse me,

00:18:24Landau has the advantage.

00:18:27And he's caught right there.

00:18:29Good move by Landau.

00:18:30Catching Pillman, got him in a backbreaker.

00:18:33Trying to make him submit here.

00:18:36And now going for the pin, the legs grapevine.

00:18:39On top, one, two, and a half there.

00:18:42Get him, Buddy.

00:18:43Pillman gets the shoulder up.

00:18:45Right shoulder came off the canvas,

00:18:47and this time Landau picks him up.

00:18:49That may be a little too much for Pillman.

00:18:52Right shoulder came off the canvas,

00:18:54and this time Landau picks him up.

00:18:56That may be a mistake.

00:18:57Now, I think it was a smart move by Landau,

00:18:59because Pillman was kicking out of all the one, two, threes.

00:19:03Oh, he's up to the legs here.

00:19:05And again, I've been wrong before.

00:19:08And now Flying Brian with the adrenaline flowing,

00:19:11but Landau, the veteran, catches him coming in.

00:19:14Front face lock, has him up.

00:19:16Is he gonna go now for the superplex, perhaps?

00:19:18Of course he is.

00:19:19Randy Landau has been perfecting this move in recent weeks.

00:19:25Pillman trying to find out how the superplexing does.

00:19:28Turn around, Buddy!

00:19:30Pillman with a high crossbody.

00:19:32He's got the leg grapevine.

00:19:34Flying Brian wins it.

00:19:36Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the match,

00:19:39Flying Brian!

00:19:44Well, here you go.

00:19:46Here you go.

00:19:47Professional wrestling's answer to Pete Rose.

00:19:50Cincinnati's last great hero, Flying Brian Pillman,

00:19:54showing that just like his mentor, Nature Boy Ric Flair,

00:19:58he can cheat with the best of them,

00:20:00and he gets a victory over Buddy Landau.

00:20:03Fans, we'll have more of the Clash of Champions,

00:20:05but first, listen to this.

00:20:29are traveling at light speed

00:20:31toward the ultimate confrontation.

00:20:33More than the world heavyweight title hangs in the balance

00:20:36as Sting leaps into the ring,

00:20:38facing a masked menace from his past.

00:20:40Can he unmask?

00:20:41Can he conquer the Black Scorpion?

00:20:43Plus, the first-ever tag team championship of the universe.

00:20:47An explosive invasion of top tag teams

00:20:49from around the cosmos.

00:20:50The battle continues as Lex Luger and Stan Hansen

00:21:10Sunday, December 16th.

00:21:12♪♪

00:21:18-♪♪

00:21:25Ladies and gentlemen,

00:21:26the following contest,

00:21:28it is set for one fall.

00:21:30Introducing first, from Kansas City,

00:21:34weighing 320 pounds,

00:21:38the Big Cat!

00:21:41And fans, as the Big Cat makes his way to the ring,

00:21:44here are some comments he had earlier today.

00:21:47-♪♪

00:21:50That's right, Danny.

00:21:51I was here for one reason,

00:21:53and one reason only.

00:21:55I done beat everybody up already.

00:21:57Luger, you're the main course of the mill, baby.

00:22:00And you can guarantee it,

00:22:01that the Big Cat is coming at you.

00:22:04-♪♪

00:22:06He certainly has made his intentions fully known.

00:22:08We've heard that he's got a total disdain for Lex Luger.

00:22:11Now back to Gary, Michael Cappetta.

00:22:14And, ladies and gentlemen,

00:22:16his opponent, from Marietta, Georgia,

00:22:19he weighs 234 pounds,

00:22:23the Candyman,

00:22:26Brad Armstrong!

00:22:30Brad Armstrong, want to be sure and say hello

00:22:32to all the great fans watching back in the headquarters

00:22:35of World Championship Wrestling back in Hotlanta,

00:22:38where the World Championship Wrestling

00:22:40will be Thanksgiving night at 8 o'clock.

00:22:44Can you imagine having to spend Thanksgiving

00:22:47in Atlanta, Georgia?

00:22:49I'm gonna be there, and I can't wait.

00:22:53I wouldn't brag about that if I were you.

00:22:55Big Cat, 320 pounds.

00:22:57You heard his comments,

00:22:58and he has really been a very, very impressive competitor

00:23:02thus far in the outings that we have seen.

00:23:04He has beaten everyone in his path thus far.

00:23:076'3 1⁄2", 320.

00:23:10Brad Armstrong's got to use his quickness and agility

00:23:12and stay away from this man, Matt Wrestling,

00:23:15and try to negate the strength,

00:23:16because this is one of the strongest men,

00:23:18speaking of the Big Cat, in the sport.

00:23:20He certainly is, and what I like about this guy

00:23:22is that he just shows exactly how far a football player

00:23:26can go in World Championship Wrestling.

00:23:28I mean, after all, look at the power of this guy.

00:23:31This was the best offensive tackle

00:23:33that Kansas State ever had, and I'll tell you what,

00:23:35back home in New York, we got a jerk named L.T. Lawrence-Taylor.

00:23:39He could take a few notes from the Big Cat.

00:23:42Brad Armstrong sizing up this big monster.

00:23:45Collar and elbow tie-up.

00:23:46It's Armstrong now.

00:23:49One of the finest chain wrestlers,

00:23:50great counter wrestler in World Championship Wrestling,

00:23:53but there's a big football tackle,

00:23:55like running into a big oak tree.

00:23:59I like this Big Cat.

00:24:00I tell you what, the Candyman Brad Armstrong

00:24:03at Halloween Havoc pulled a big upset over J.W. Storm.

00:24:07I'll give you odds he doesn't do that

00:24:09against the Big Cat tonight.

00:24:11Time will tell, Paul. Time will tell.

00:24:14As he take a look at the big man,

00:24:15another collar and elbow tie-up.

00:24:18He has the advantage,

00:24:19pushing Brad Armstrong back in the ropes.

00:24:21Cheap shot to the ribs, sends him for the ride.

00:24:24He missed with that clothesline,

00:24:25and Brad Armstrong with a dropkick.

00:24:27Armstrong taking the big giant off his feet

00:24:30with that great dropkick.

00:24:32Yeah, but notice the good strategy by the Big Cat.

00:24:34He gets right over to the ropes,

00:24:35so Armstrong can't attack him again,

00:24:37and he stops his momentum by bringing in the referee.

00:24:41Armstrong again from the side headlock

00:24:43to the wristlock, countered by the Big Cat.

00:24:46Big Cat taking it a turn, still to come.

00:24:49The Horseman Doom showdown.

00:24:51It'll be one-on-one,

00:24:52the match determined by a coin toss,

00:24:54plus Sting and the Scorpion

00:24:55in the live danger zone, face-to-face.

00:24:58Armstrong very quick, but he's caught in midair.

00:25:01He is so big and so strong, is this Big Cat.

00:25:04And look at him take Armstrong up.

00:25:06Three back breakers,

00:25:07and he finally drops him like a sack of groceries.

00:25:11There you go.

00:25:12The man that has been using Lex Luger's finishing maneuver,

00:25:18the Big Cat, and this guy does not pussyfoot around.

00:25:23Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:25:26Stopping Armstrong in the lower back now

00:25:29after three thunderous back breakers working on the back.

00:25:33Got him up.

00:25:34Brutal slam to the canvas by the Big Cat.

00:25:38He's on top.

00:25:39One, two, and Armstrong kicks out.

00:25:41Well, I'm impressed.

00:25:42Brad Armstrong has taken a whale of a beating,

00:25:46and he did kick out.

00:25:47He's the first guy I've seen kick out

00:25:49from any kind of pending predicament of the Big Cat,

00:25:53but it's still a long way to go.

00:25:55Armstrong has great intestinal fortitude.

00:25:58Tremendous athlete, a second-generation wrestler.

00:26:01His dad, the former fighting fireman from Marietta, Georgia.

00:26:04And look at the velocity of that Irish whip.

00:26:07See, notice how the Big Cat does everything very slowly.

00:26:11He takes his time.

00:26:12He's not like these guys that come in here

00:26:15and throw ten drop kicks.

00:26:17He does one thing at a time,

00:26:18and he does it very well and very brutally at that.

00:26:22Continuing to work on the back.

00:26:23Here's the 320-pound Big Cat,

00:26:25and now he's got Brad in that bear hug.

00:26:27Armstrong's speed and his agility

00:26:30has been entirely negated thus far in the contest.

00:26:34It's a power match

00:26:35and perfectly wrestled by the Big Cat

00:26:37as he rams Armstrong into the turnbuckle.

00:26:40Goes for a big shoulder,

00:26:42but there's a quickness coming to the front

00:26:44by Brad Armstrong.

00:26:45He's firing up on the Big Cat

00:26:47with a succession of right hands.

00:26:49Backs him to the ropes

00:26:50and sends him to the near side.

00:26:52Catch him in the midsection.

00:26:54Well, I tell you what,

00:26:55he better light a fire

00:26:56that his daddy the fireman can't put out,

00:26:59because if he doesn't, that's it.

00:27:01Armstrong went for that second drop kick,

00:27:04and that may have been the fatal error.

00:27:07Big Cat continuing to work on the back.

00:27:09There he goes!

00:27:10He's got him up with a human torture rack,

00:27:12just like Lex Luger.

00:27:14That's Luger's maneuver.

00:27:17He gave up!

00:27:18No, he didn't give up.

00:27:20The referee stopped it.

00:27:21He didn't give up.

00:27:22Brad Armstrong has never given up.

00:27:25Ladies and gentlemen,

00:27:26the referee has stopped this match,

00:27:29and he has awarded it to the Big Cat.

00:27:33I'm telling you, I heard him say it.

00:27:36I heard Brad Armstrong say it.

00:27:37I'm telling you that you're a blatant liar.

00:27:39He didn't give up.

00:27:40Brad Armstrong has never given up.

00:27:42The referee stopped the match.

00:27:44This man is a monster.

00:27:45320 pounds after three backbreakers in the rack.

00:27:49The referee stopped it.

00:27:50It was good officiating,

00:27:51but another victory by the Big Cat,

00:27:53and now let's hear this

00:27:54from the man that'll be at Starrcade.

00:27:56Here's Dick the Bruiser.

00:27:57A liar!

00:27:59This is Dick the Bruiser.

00:28:01I'm known all over the world

00:28:03as the world's toughest guy,

00:28:06and I'm also the toughest referee in the world.

00:28:09There will be a winner at Starrcade.

00:28:12I'll guarantee it.

00:28:14You watch me.

00:28:16The winner of the night,

00:28:18She-Man!

00:28:24Wrestling fans, the following contest,

00:28:26it is set for one fall.

00:28:28Introducing first, from Orlando, Florida,

00:28:32weighing 278 pounds,

00:28:35prime time,

00:28:37Brian Lee!

00:28:41And ladies and gentlemen,

00:28:43his opponent,

00:28:45from Minneapolis, Minnesota,

00:28:48he weighs 251 pounds,

00:28:52The She-Man!

00:28:55All right, all right.

00:28:56Live on TBS.

00:28:57Welcome back, world champion.

00:28:59One of the most popular athletes

00:29:01in the world,

00:29:02the She-Man.

00:29:06Paul, he has really been on a hot streak

00:29:08in the last few weeks in WCW.

00:29:10Well, you know,

00:29:11here's a guy that was always held back

00:29:13in a tag team situation.

00:29:15He always wanted to be a tag team champion.

00:29:18The fact is,

00:29:19he is a great singles wrestler,

00:29:21but tonight,

00:29:22he steps into a ring,

00:29:23a guy that's making his debut here in the ring,

00:29:25and he's going to be a tag team champion.

00:29:27He's going to be a tag team champion.

00:29:29He's going to be a tag team champion.

00:29:31He's going to be a tag team champion.

00:29:33He's stepping into a ring,

00:29:34a guy that's making his debut here in WCW,

00:29:37primetime Brian Lee.

00:29:39Good football tackle by the 278-pounder.

00:29:436'5", 278.

00:29:45He's an outstanding-looking athlete

00:29:47challenging the She-Man here at the Clash.

00:29:49And let me just say this.

00:29:51I accept your apology

00:29:52that you gave me off the air

00:29:54when you said that you were sorry

00:29:55for calling me a liar.

00:29:57Yeah, and that's another lie.

00:29:58Because Brad Armstrong didn't submit

00:30:00because the Big Cat is that great.

00:30:02You didn't submit, and you're still a liar.

00:30:04Primetime Brian Lee.

00:30:06Hey!

00:30:07Good kick there.

00:30:09A karate kick by the Z-Man

00:30:11as Brian Lee was jawing at the fans here.

00:30:15Well, you see, Brian Lee

00:30:16is a very, very impressive wrestler.

00:30:18He comes here with great credentials.

00:30:20Great right hand.

00:30:21He's a graduate of UCLA.

00:30:23He's done boxing.

00:30:24He's done wrestling.

00:30:25He's done all sports.

00:30:27Hip block.

00:30:28He caught him.

00:30:29He was in orbit on that move.

00:30:30What power by the Z-Man!

00:30:32Ah!

00:30:33He went for a high cross body.

00:30:35And Primetime moved out of the way.

00:30:38Catches Z-Man with a right hand.

00:30:41Z-Man went for a high-risk move

00:30:42early in the contest

00:30:44that didn't pay off.

00:30:46Powerful elbow.

00:30:47And down goes Z-Man.

00:30:49I think it's over

00:30:50because Primetime Brian Lee

00:30:52wants to make a big reputation here tonight.

00:30:55He's making his debut on,

00:30:56guess what,

00:30:57Primetime TV.

00:31:00Side headlock.

00:31:01Z-Man power.

00:31:03Shoots him to the far side.

00:31:04He drops down to the near side.

00:31:05Nice leapfrog.

00:31:08Another leapfrog by the Z-Man.

00:31:10And a dropkick!

00:31:11Catching Primetime!

00:31:13What time is it, Brian Lee?

00:31:16It's time right now to bring the referee in.

00:31:19It's time to slow down the Z-Man's momentum.

00:31:23Time for a cheap shot, too, by the way.

00:31:25Forgot to mention that.

00:31:31Snapmare by Primetime Brian Lee

00:31:34into the reverse chinlock.

00:31:35Great to hear from Dick the Bruiser.

00:31:38Earlier in the program,

00:31:39he'll be the referee for the finals

00:31:41of the Pat O'Connor

00:31:42International Tag Team Tournament

00:31:44to be held exclusively on pay-per-view at Starrcade

00:31:48on Sunday, December the 16th.

00:31:50And that event, by the way,

00:31:51will be made available

00:31:52to our fighting men and women

00:31:54participating in Operation Desert Shield.

00:31:57We're also gonna send a big banner over there

00:31:59to our brave men and women.

00:32:01And Gordon Soley's gonna send a tape

00:32:03telling them all about the Civil War, I understand.

00:32:07Irish whip, but nobody there.

00:32:09They shook the ring on that one.

00:32:11And Z-Man fights back with right hands.

00:32:13He's turned the corner now.

00:32:15Sends Brian Lee in and catches him

00:32:17with a karate kick right under the jaw.

00:32:21Almost slammed by the Z-Man.

00:32:23And now he goes back.

00:32:24He'll take another chance coming off the top.

00:32:27Brian Lee is dazed.

00:32:29He just drop-kicked the taste out of primetime.

00:32:33Ladies and gentlemen,

00:32:35the winner of the match,

00:32:36the Z-Man!

00:32:40He is on a hot streak, is the Z-Man.

00:32:42He certainly is the Z-Man on a real hot streak

00:32:45and headed on December 16th

00:32:48to Starrcade 1990 against another guy

00:32:51on a real hot single streak.

00:32:54Beautiful Bobby Eaton.

00:32:57Fans, we come back.

00:32:58Tony Schiavone has a very special interview.

00:33:02Plus, Sting and the Black Scorpion,

00:33:04the Horsemen in Doom,

00:33:05much more still to come.

00:33:09I see no way we can lose.

00:33:11And you can take that to the bank.

00:33:15And the Clash of Champions continues right here on TBS.

00:33:21And I am standing with a very dapper Mike Rotunda.

00:33:25First of all, Schiavone,

00:33:27don't you ever call me Mike Rotunda again.

00:33:31I have legally changed my name to Michael Wallstreet.

00:33:34And with the money that I've inherited,

00:33:36you should be calling me Mr. Wallstreet.

00:33:39Do you understand?

00:33:41Secondly, I don't have time to stand out here all night.

00:33:44At 6.05 on Saturday night,

00:33:46TBS, the Michael Wallstreet story will be told.

00:33:50Now let's get to the business at hand.

00:33:53This is my assistant, Alexandra York.

00:33:56She takes care of my computers,

00:33:58added with my talent.

00:34:00We cannot be beat in the ring.

00:34:02Tonight's my opponent.

00:34:03Tell them about it.

00:34:05Tonight you will face Starblazer.

00:34:08Tony, hold this microphone for me.

00:34:10Yes, ma'am.

00:34:11I have gone over the information on our computer printout.

00:34:16If he follows this explicitly,

00:34:18he will step out of the ring a victor tonight.

00:34:20Our system is infallible.

00:34:22You can bet any amount of money on it.

00:34:24He's going to feel the Wallstreet crash tonight.

00:34:28Jim, Paulie, let's go back to you.

00:34:30I don't know.

00:34:31Very interesting development here.

00:34:33We're going to wait and see how this one transpires.

00:34:35Let's go back to Gary Capeta

00:34:37and the introduction of the Starblazer.

00:34:39Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest,

00:34:42it is set for one fall.

00:34:44Introducing first, Parts Unknown,

00:34:48weighing 224 pounds,

00:34:52Gary Capeta.

00:34:55Weighing 224 pounds,

00:34:59the Starblazer.

00:35:06The masked man making his way to the ring.

00:35:08Paul, I'm very...

00:35:10This is very mysterious.

00:35:11Michael Rotunda no longer.

00:35:14Apparently, it's coming to a lot of money.

00:35:18We'll find out perhaps Saturday night,

00:35:19but Gary Capeta has the introduction

00:35:21of Michael Wallstreet.

00:35:23And ladies and gentlemen, his opponent,

00:35:26he is accompanied by his administrative assistant,

00:35:30Alexandra York,

00:35:32from the Financial District of Lower Manhattan.

00:35:36Introducing Michael Wallstreet.

00:35:43He says he's legally changed his name

00:35:45to Michael Wallstreet.

00:35:47Now, what is going on here?

00:35:48Do you know any more about this?

00:35:50Well, now, I heard a rumor,

00:35:52and it's only a rumor,

00:35:54and I'm not trying to spread any rumors,

00:35:56because they'll probably sue me.

00:35:57Lord knows you've never done that.

00:35:59Oh, no, no, never have,

00:36:00but I heard a rumor.

00:36:02I don't know if it was his grandfather or an uncle.

00:36:04I heard some rich, rich relative

00:36:07passed away,

00:36:09and he inherited a lot of money,

00:36:10but it's just a rumor.

00:36:11That's all it is.

00:36:13You'll have to hear it from him,

00:36:14not from me.

00:36:15Apparently, we'll see the entire

00:36:17Moscow Wallstreet story

00:36:19this Saturday night

00:36:20on World Championship Wrestling

00:36:21at 605 Eastern Time, of course.

00:36:26Gee, I wish one of my rich relatives

00:36:28would die and leave me a lot of money.

00:36:30I don't know what you're worried about.

00:36:31You're living at home with your mom and daddy now.

00:36:33You don't spend any money as it is.

00:36:38There is Alexandra York,

00:36:40not a manager, not a valet,

00:36:42an administrative assistant.

00:36:44She's got a laptop computer there,

00:36:46and apparently has programmed all the data

00:36:49regarding the Star Blazer

00:36:51into that computer.

00:36:54Michael Wallstreet's gone straight

00:36:55to the World Heavyweight Championship.

00:36:57I mean, finally,

00:36:58World Championship Wrestling

00:37:00has entered the computer age.

00:37:04Well, there's a computer printout.

00:37:05He's trying to shield our camera

00:37:07from seeing exactly what is on that document.

00:37:12He's always had great ability.

00:37:13He's been a world tag team champion,

00:37:15world television champion,

00:37:17two-sport star at Syracuse University,

00:37:19captain of the football team,

00:37:21captain of the wrestling team.

00:37:23Waist lock takedown.

00:37:26I like it.

00:37:27It's about time, finally,

00:37:29somebody came from my hometown

00:37:31and showed WCW what it's all about.

00:37:35I'm proud of him.

00:37:36Fireman carry takeover by Mike Rotunda.

00:37:39Give me some competition out there.

00:37:41Now, come on, go get him some competition.

00:37:43Don't bring out my favorite Martian against him.

00:37:45How come Sting doesn't fight him right away?

00:37:47It'd be worth the price.

00:37:49He'd probably pay a lot of money for a title shot.

00:37:53Good football tackle by Wallstreet.

00:37:55Going to the far side.

00:37:56Nice leapfrog by the Star Blazer.

00:37:58And he takes him over with a high hip lock

00:38:00and a dropkick.

00:38:02And another dropkick.

00:38:03Michael Wallstreet may be crashing here.

00:38:06Fans, we're gonna start a brand-new WCW fan club.

00:38:10And if you would like to participate

00:38:12in the World Championship Wrestling Fan Club,

00:38:15there's a couple of 800 numbers.

00:38:171-800-727-FANS

00:38:20or 1-800-727-3267.

00:38:23You can call that toll-free number

00:38:25for more information on how you can join

00:38:27the WCW fan club.

00:38:30A first-time offer.

00:38:32Be a charter member, if you will,

00:38:34as Gordon would say.

00:38:35How much does that call cost?

00:38:37Nothing, Paul.

00:38:38Right down your alley.

00:38:39It's free?

00:38:40Nice wrist lock by the Star Blazer

00:38:42into the arm bar.

00:38:44I'm gonna call it right now.

00:38:46If it's free.

00:38:48Rotunda trying to go for a right hand.

00:38:50It was blocked by the Star Blazer.

00:38:52Side headlock by the Masked Man.

00:38:54He's shot off this match.

00:38:55It's very quick.

00:38:56And Wallstreet tosses him outside.

00:38:58Beautiful. He followed the game plan.

00:39:00Obviously, Miss York knows exactly what she...

00:39:03Oh, there you go.

00:39:05The computer age.

00:39:10It's almost like a hostile takeover here

00:39:12by Michael Wallstreet

00:39:14on the Star Blazer.

00:39:15That was very good. I'm proud of you.

00:39:19Makes his way back to the ring,

00:39:20and Wallstreet catches him.

00:39:22Kick right to the head.

00:39:24Not only is he rich, but he can back it up, too.

00:39:27I like this guy.

00:39:28Going for the abdominal stretch.

00:39:29Turns him away from the referee.

00:39:33Has the abdominal stretch, and again,

00:39:35we see another man using the ropes for leverage.

00:39:39You know, speaking of fan clubs,

00:39:40I think I'm gonna open up a fan club

00:39:42for Michael Wallstreet,

00:39:44the, uh, Scarsdale chapter.

00:39:47I thought you might say that.

00:39:49I'm sure that'll impress him.

00:39:51Maybe he'll pay me some money to run it, too.

00:39:53Referee Nick Patrick, senior official down

00:39:55to find out the Star Blazer wants to submit

00:39:57in this abdominal stretch.

00:39:58But Wallstreet, there's a good officiate.

00:40:00He caught him using the ropes.

00:40:02Outstanding job of officiating

00:40:03by senior referee Nick Patrick.

00:40:06Front face lock.

00:40:08But good counter move.

00:40:10Into a cradle there.

00:40:11One, two.

00:40:13And the, uh, stocks almost dropped there

00:40:16for Wallstreet.

00:40:17Ah, it doesn't really matter.

00:40:18I mean, you know, if Star Blazer beats him,

00:40:21I'm sure he could buy a victory away from him.

00:40:24Forearms there.

00:40:26Reversal of the Irish whip.

00:40:28Star Blazer catches Wallstreet coming in

00:40:30with a foot right to the midsection.

00:40:32Catch him with a right hand now.

00:40:33The masked man taking over.

00:40:36I think Miss York needs to get another printout.

00:40:40There's a scoop slam.

00:40:42I wonder if this has been programmed.

00:40:44She's looking at very intently what's going on.

00:40:48Drop kick by the masked man.

00:40:50The Star Blazers showing good offense.

00:40:52Got him!

00:40:53Wallstreet caught him.

00:40:55Trying to turn him into a Boston crab.

00:40:57But the leg strength too much for Wallstreet.

00:41:00He's got him there now.

00:41:01One, two.

00:41:03The masked man frees himself at two.

00:41:07Fast pace here in this contest.

00:41:11I don't know what we have here.

00:41:13Rotunda picked up both legs.

00:41:14It's not Rotunda.

00:41:15It's Wallstreet.

00:41:18Fraudulent slip there.

00:41:21Here we go!

00:41:24Is this?

00:41:25It is!

00:41:26The Wallstreet crash by Michael Wallstreet

00:45:54to the Pat O'Connor Memorial

00:45:56International Tag Team Tournament

00:46:02Introducing first,

00:46:03from South Africa,

00:46:05that is Johannesburg, South Africa,

00:46:08467 pounds,

00:46:11the team of Sergeant Kruger

00:46:14and Colonel DeKlerk.

00:46:17Sergeant Kruger and Colonel DeKlerk.

00:46:19Paul, are you familiar?

00:46:20Which, who is which here?

00:46:21I'm not real sure.

00:46:23Well, the guy with the beard is DeKlerk

00:46:26and the guy without the beard is Kruger.

00:46:32And ladies and gentlemen,

00:46:34their opponents,

00:46:37from Africa,

00:46:39the team of Kalua and The Beast.

00:46:46Kalua and The Beast.

00:46:49The African delegation here.

00:46:53Two big, strong men.

00:46:56I'm sure there'll be a contrast in styles,

00:46:58a contrast in philosophy.

00:47:02This is a big matchup.

00:47:04The finals of the African tournament.

00:47:07We're happy and proud

00:47:08that it can be held right here

00:47:09at the Clash of Champions

00:47:11for the world to see here on TBS.

00:47:13But the winner of this match

00:47:15will move into the final eight

00:47:17to be held exclusively on pay-per-view

00:47:20at Starrcade.

00:47:24Let me ask you a question.

00:47:25Who paid for all these plane tickets from Africa?

00:47:29Well, on World Championship Wrestling, of course,

00:47:31they only bring the fans the very best

00:47:33from around the world.

00:47:38And they won't even pick me up

00:47:39from the airport in a limousine,

00:47:40and they fly four guys in from Africa

00:47:42just for the fans at home?

00:47:45Sergeant Kruger and Kalua in there.

00:47:48And Kalua starting out very quickly.

00:47:50They know what's at stake in this match.

00:47:51Downstairs he goes, and there's a knee lift.

00:47:58Colonel DeClercq now will be entering the ring.

00:48:01And this is the veteran of the team.

00:48:02This is the wild man.

00:48:05Wrist lock applied by Kalua.

00:48:07Takes it another turn.

00:48:10Nice move. Good counter move.

00:48:12Into a cradle, but he's in the ropes.

00:48:14This guy's held titles in a lot of different continents.

00:48:19He's been a wrestler for a long, long time.

00:48:21This is his big break here.

00:48:23He's gonna take full advantage of it.

00:48:28Wrist lock applied by Kalua.

00:48:31Another unique move. Nice nip-up.

00:48:34Single-legged him, cradled him, went behind.

00:48:37Kalua, very powerful lower body, obviously, and kicks out.

00:48:41Well, the colonel's taking his time with this guy.

00:48:43The colonel is not gonna just be beating,

00:48:45and he's not gonna beat the guy right off the bat.

00:48:47Both guys know that.

00:48:50Good move there, using the second rope for momentum.

00:48:52High cross body, but he couldn't get enough of it

00:48:54to get the pin there.

00:48:56There's a lot at stake in this match.

00:49:00Still to come, staying in the black scorpion face-to-face.

00:49:03The Horseman-Doom confrontation.

00:49:05It'll be one-on-one.

00:49:07Steiner brothers are here.

00:49:09Good double-team move by the contingent from South Africa.

00:49:15You know, that could have been a pin right there.

00:49:17What's wrong? Who's this referee?

00:49:19What's his name?

00:49:20Randy Anderson.

00:49:22Mm-hmm. Who poked him in the eyes before?

00:49:24Here comes the big man, The Beast.

00:49:27And the tag is made.

00:49:30Sgt. Kruger and The Beast.

00:49:34Is that a weave, or is that his natural hair?

00:49:37You would know more about weaves and hair than I would.

00:49:40They're exchanging those right hands.

00:49:44Wow! Clothesline!

00:49:47African style!

00:49:50Found its mark.

00:49:52The game faces are very, very evident here,

00:49:55and another tag by the South African team.

00:49:57Well, that's a smart move by the sergeant.

00:49:59Put the colonel in the ring.

00:50:00He's the veteran of the team.

00:50:02Here's the guy that's held titles all around the continent.

00:50:06He's the wrestler of the two.

00:50:08The sergeant is the brawler,

00:50:10and you're not gonna out-brawl this big man.

00:50:16Colonel to clerk.

00:50:17Give him some momentum.

00:50:20Big man standing tall.

00:50:23Having some trouble getting him down, obviously.

00:50:26And he caught him! Powerslam!

00:50:29That'll shake your Kruger-ans.

00:50:32Oh!

00:50:33The colonel sent for the Irish whip.

00:50:35He's met.

00:50:36He's buried into the midsection there.

00:50:40Another move up on the top rope.

00:50:42Beautiful!

00:50:43Sunset 360 all the way over,

00:50:45and he caught him with a clothesline coming out.

00:50:48Colonel to clerk is a high-flying competitor.

00:50:51Looks to me like he's ready to finish him off.

00:50:54Double ax handle there.

00:50:57He's gonna do it again.

00:51:00He's gonna do it one more time

00:51:02in case the cameras didn't get it.

00:51:05Another one puts the beast down on the canvas.

00:51:10I think the South Africans can light that victory cigar.

00:51:13He may be a colonel in the South African Air Force,

00:51:16for all we know.

00:51:17He's caught there!

00:51:18He's caught coming off.

00:51:20Big powerslam.

00:51:21Lateral press.

00:51:22One-two.

00:51:23And Sergeant Kruger interrupted the count there.

00:51:26You don't think he's gonna let his countrymen get hurt,

00:51:29do you?

00:51:32The beast with the atomic drop.

00:51:37And the beast showing his power.

00:51:41Four guys in there.

00:51:43They want to represent their continent

00:51:46at Starrcade.

00:51:49Good move!

00:51:52He dropkicks him!

00:51:54Got him!

00:51:55With an assist, can he hold him one, two?

00:51:57He got him!

00:51:58Kruger and The Clerk have advanced.

00:52:00Ladies and gentlemen, the winners of the match,

00:52:03Sergeant Kruger and Colonel DeClercq.

00:52:07They will be in the Pat O'Connor

00:52:10International Tag Team Tournament

00:52:12to be held at Starrcade.

00:52:14Add them to the list,

00:52:15which includes the Steiner Brothers,

00:52:17includes Saito and Muta.

00:52:19Yes, it is.

00:52:21Kruger and The Clerk from South Africa.

00:52:23I think the Steiner Brothers are in big, big trouble

00:52:26at Starrcade.

00:52:27Fans, he's a living legend,

00:52:28perhaps the greatest wrestling promoter

00:52:30in the history of the sport.

00:52:32Let's hear this from Sam Muchnick.

00:52:37Hi, this is Sam Muchnick

00:52:39asking all the wrestling fans

00:52:41to join me at Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis

00:52:44for the Pat O'Connor Memorial

00:52:46International Tag Team Tournament.

00:52:54All right, everyone.

00:52:55Welcome back to TBS

00:52:56for the Clash of the Champions.

00:52:58Still to come next,

00:53:00the total package Lex Luger

00:53:02against the Motor City Madman.

00:53:04And Lex Luger on his way back

00:53:06to get that U.S. title

00:53:07from Stan Larry Hansen.

00:53:09Let's go back in time

00:53:10and relive some of the moments

00:53:11between Stan Hansen and Lex Luger.

00:53:14Welcome back to TBS

00:53:15for the Clash of the Champions.

00:53:17Still to come next,

00:53:18the total package Lex Luger

00:53:20against the Motor City Madman.

00:53:22And Lex Luger.

00:53:26The feud between Stan Larry Hansen

00:53:28and the total package Lex Luger

00:53:30began in September

00:53:31at Clash of Champions 12.

00:53:33Hansen attacked Luger

00:53:34and made his intentions fully known

00:53:36to Luger and the world.

00:53:38He's trying to make a point

00:53:39on the number one contender

00:53:40for the world title.

00:53:43Hansen is brutalizing Lex Luger.

00:53:47He's got that big jab

00:53:48on that big rope now

00:53:49around the throat.

00:53:50Jim, as you say,

00:53:51he was bad, he was irate

00:53:52at being number six

00:53:54in the ranking.

00:53:56Hansen trying to choke the life

00:53:58out of Lex Luger

00:54:00with that bull rope.

00:54:02These two met again in Chicago

00:54:03at Halloween Havoc

00:54:04in a much anticipated bout

00:54:06for Luger's United States title.

00:54:08This match was one of the most

00:54:10intense battles ever witnessed

00:54:11and Hansen scored an upset victory

00:54:13over Luger to become

00:54:14the new United States champion.

00:54:17The referee is still down.

00:54:22Luger taking Hansen face first down.

00:54:26And now Luger says,

00:54:27it's time to put 300 plus

00:54:38There's no way he can get him

00:54:43One, two.

00:54:44He got him.

00:55:51You know Tony Schiavone,

00:55:52good things truly come

00:55:53to those who wait.

00:55:54I knew Stan Hansen.

00:55:56If I played my cards right

00:55:57and waited and went to opponent

00:55:59after opponent at the U.S. title,

00:56:01a shot would be mine.

00:56:02Wait a second.

00:56:03Wait a second here.

00:56:04The big cat.

00:56:05Stan Hansen on you, buddy.

00:56:07And the Motor City Madman,

00:56:08baby, let me tell you something.

00:56:10You ain't seen nothing yet

00:56:12until you deal with

00:56:13the big cat, baby.

00:56:15You understand what I'm saying?

00:56:19But you know what, big cat?

00:56:21This is your lucky night

00:56:22because you don't have to wait

00:56:23because I can get things

00:56:24started right now, baby.

00:56:26Oh!

00:56:27Luger just nailed the big cat.

00:56:29What a cheap shot

00:56:30by Lex Luger.

00:56:33Lex Luger

00:56:35walking right off

00:56:36the interview set

00:56:38and nailing the big cat.

00:56:42Oh.

00:56:44Luger,

00:56:46baby,

00:56:48you just made a big mistake.

00:56:51All right, the big cat.

00:56:53Fans, let's go back to the ring.

00:56:57Ladies and gentlemen,

00:56:58the following contest,

00:57:00it is at for one fall.

00:57:02Introducing first,

00:57:03from Detroit, Michigan,

00:57:06weighing 342 pounds,

00:57:11the Motor City Madman.

00:57:16Well, we've already

00:57:17had fireworks, Paul,

00:57:18in this one.

00:57:19The big cat

00:57:21just got Luger's face

00:57:22and just got the taste

00:57:23knocked out of his mouth.

00:57:24Oh, I tell you what,

00:57:25I think Luger showed

00:57:26his ignorance when he said,

00:57:28good thing comes

00:57:29to those who wait.

00:57:31Whoever said patience

00:57:32is a virtue

00:57:33is a man with too much

00:57:34time on his hands.

00:57:37This one will not be

00:57:38a pretty wrestling match.

00:57:39This is going to be

00:57:40a brawl.

00:57:46And ladies and gentlemen,

00:57:48his opponent,

00:57:49from Chicago, Illinois,

00:57:52weighing 271 pounds,

00:57:57the Tumble Package,

00:58:00Max Luger.

00:58:05The man that wants

00:58:06Stan Hansen and Starrcade

00:58:08for the United States

00:58:09Heavyweight Championship.

00:58:13In magnificent condition.

00:58:15He would refuse

00:58:16to be intimidated

00:58:17by the big cat.

00:58:18And look who's coming

00:58:19down the aisle, Paul.

00:58:20Oh, I think I see a booty.

00:58:23Luger doesn't even see him.

00:58:25Turn around, Luger.

00:58:27Turn around, Lex.

00:58:32Wow.

00:58:34Fist and fire here.

00:58:38Both men nailing each other.

00:58:41This match hasn't even begun.

00:58:44Here come the other officials.

00:58:47No, let him go at him.

00:58:49Let him go at him.

00:58:50Let's see who the better man is.

00:58:52The big cat.

00:58:56Well, he is un-intimidatable.

00:59:00He's not taking one step back

00:59:03from the total package,

00:59:06Lex Luger.

00:59:07And Luger is not stepping back

00:59:09from the big cat either,

00:59:10I'll tell you that.

00:59:11But he has to go in the ring now

00:59:13with a guy 6'6", 344.

00:59:15And the Motor City Madman

00:59:17catching Luger coming in.

00:59:22Motor City Madman

00:59:23netting Luger from behind.

00:59:25They said that Luger

00:59:26started this one

00:59:27at a distinct disadvantage

00:59:28would be a gross understatement.

00:59:29Gee, I think I saw a booty, Ted.

00:59:33Oh, isn't that a shame?

00:59:34Luger has a disadvantage.

00:59:39The Motor City Madman

00:59:41is not a proficient,

00:59:43amateur-based wrestler.

00:59:45He is a brawler.

00:59:46He is a street fighter

00:59:47found in a pool hall.

00:59:49He missed with that elbow

00:59:50and Luger with a head-across body.

00:59:53But Luger wants to fight,

00:59:54catches him with a clothesline,

00:59:56and he really nailed him.

00:59:58But the Madman

00:59:59is not an easy man to put away.

01:00:03Luger with another elbow.

01:00:04And the Motor City Madman

01:00:06says, let's go rack him up

01:00:07and play some 8-ball.

01:00:08I want out of here.

01:00:09But just caught Luger downstairs

01:00:11with a right hand.

01:00:12He's gonna suplex him

01:00:13under the stage.

01:00:15Trying to get him up.

01:00:17He's a huge man, 344.

01:00:19Can never get him up.

01:00:21No way.

01:00:22No way he can do it.

01:00:24Oh, got him up.

01:00:27That's dead weight, 344 pounds,

01:00:31and Luger did it.

01:00:35Luger with a slam.

01:00:36The whole ring shaking.

01:00:41Big elbow.

01:00:42That's it.

01:00:43But the Madman rolled out of the way.

01:00:44And the Madman

01:00:45is from the streets of Detroit.

01:00:47He knows all about survival,

01:00:49and he's gonna capitalize

01:00:50on this mistake

01:00:51like you have never seen

01:00:53anybody capitalize

01:00:54on a mistake before.

01:00:56Luger sent for the ride there

01:00:58and nailed it

01:00:59with a lot of authority

01:01:00with that clothesline.

01:01:03The odds are against Luger here.

01:01:06He has Hanson on his mind.

01:01:08He has the big cat on his mind,

01:01:10and this guy is no lightweight either.

01:01:12Wow.

01:01:13Side slam.

01:01:14He dropped 344 pounds on him,

01:01:17and Lex Luger,

01:01:18the man that wants to regain

01:01:19the United States

01:01:20heavyweight championship

01:01:22at Starrcade with Stan Hanson.

01:01:24He's going for the backbreaker.

01:01:26Trying to get him up.

01:01:28Luger sets himself underneath,

01:01:30and Luger powered out.

01:01:32Phenomenal strength

01:01:34by the Total Package.

01:01:41Luger ramp.

01:01:42Turn around!

01:01:44Oh, wow.

01:01:45Luger counting

01:01:47with a clothesline,

01:01:48much like the Lariat,

01:01:49and Luger wins it.

01:01:51Ladies and gentlemen,

01:01:52the winner of the match,

01:01:54the Total Package,

01:01:55Lex Luger!

01:01:58Lex Luger says,

01:01:59bring on the big cat.

01:02:00Bring on Stan Hanson.

01:02:02I'm big and I'm bad.

01:02:03Let's get it on.

01:02:04Luger with one heck of a victory

01:02:06here at the class.

01:02:07Oh, yeah.

01:02:08He wants the United States

01:02:10heavyweight championship back.

01:02:11He wants Stan Hanson

01:02:13at Starrcade.

01:02:14He got by obstacle number one,

01:02:17but the big cat is still waiting

01:02:19for the Total Package,

01:04:41and the Steiners

01:04:42has carried all the way

01:04:43out of the ring.

01:04:44Something's gotta give here.

01:04:45Yeah, the Steiners brothers

01:04:46have to give.

01:04:47They have to give up.

01:04:48About time they realize

01:04:50Ladies and gentlemen,

01:04:51their opponents.

01:04:52From New York City,

01:05:04Jerry Sags,

01:05:05Here they come, the team that says they would like to be the next United States

01:05:11Tag Team Champions, but to do that, they must defeat the Steiner Brothers.

01:05:17To date, they have yet to accomplish that goal.

01:05:21Well, give them time, all right, just give them a little bit of time.

01:05:25You know, I don't know if you know this- I'll tell you something,

01:05:29they beat the Steiners, I'll quit announcing, how's that?

01:05:33They beat the Steiners, I'll quit, they can't beat the Steiners.

01:05:37You promise, you promise, are you saying it's on national TV?

01:05:41That if these guys beat the Steiner Brothers, you're out of here, you're gone?

01:05:45I'll do these shows with Tony Schiavone.

01:05:46You better pack your bags, you better pack your bags, pal.

01:05:52You just made the biggest mistake of your life.

01:05:54Cuz the Nasty Boys cannot and will not ever give up against the Steiner Brothers.

01:05:59You better pack your bags, you're going back to Oklahoma.

01:06:02Chris and Mark Youngblood, the renegade warriors to take on the Nasty Boys.

01:06:06Jerry Sags, there you see him, on the left, Brian Knobs on the right.

01:06:13Senior referee Nick Patrick has signed this contest.

01:06:16You know, I don't know if you know this or not, but

01:06:18I'm the president of the Nasty Boys fan club, the-

01:06:21Yeah, Scarsdale.

01:06:22Scarsdale chapter, yeah, how'd you know?

01:06:24How could I forget it?

01:06:27Boy, I cannot wait, you mean you're leaving, huh?

01:06:30You're going, you're going back to Oklahoma.

01:06:32How could you make that stupid thing?

01:06:33Collar now bow tie up to Youngblood, pushing Jerry Sags into the corner.

01:06:37That's Mark Youngblood starting out against Jerry Sags here in this contest.

01:06:42You know what I like about Sags?

01:06:44He goes to David Letterman's dentist.

01:06:45Did you ever notice that?

01:06:47Yeah, I saw a big gap in his front teeth.

01:06:50Nick Patrick going between the men.

01:06:52And a cheap shot there by Sags.

01:06:55Double accidental blow on Youngblood.

01:07:00They learned how to fight on the subways of New York City.

01:07:07You'll leave.

01:07:07This is great.

01:07:09I won't miss you a bit either.

01:07:11Downstairs, Sags with a forearm.

01:07:16Tag made, here comes Brian Knobbs.

01:07:22Double suplex.

01:07:23Here it comes.

01:07:24A double team move.

01:07:27On Mark Youngblood here.

01:07:30Knobbs stomps away.

01:07:32See, these guys are used to fighting Indians.

01:07:34They beat up the toughest gangs in Fort Apache.

01:07:38That's in the Bronx, you know.

01:07:39Shooting those forearms in there.

01:07:42Sunset flip.

01:07:44Can he get him over?

01:07:44There was a tag made.

01:07:46Across body.

01:07:48Chris Youngblood on top.

01:07:49One, two and a half.

01:07:50And he barely kicked out.

01:07:52Arm drag takeover.

01:07:53Good move by Chris Youngblood.

01:07:55Fans, we talked about the Wrestling Wrap-Up,

01:07:58the official publication of World Championship Wrestling.

01:08:02It's available for you fans via subscription.

01:08:06It's a great magazine put together by Dennis Brent.

01:08:08There's how you can order the Wrestling Wrap-Up.

01:08:16Youngblood's continuing to keep the up-tempo pace.

01:08:19Nice move.

01:08:20Working on the arm.

01:08:21Overhand wrist lock.

01:08:23Chris Youngblood.

01:08:25There's a knee downstairs.

01:08:28I mean, if the Nasty Boys is the tough,

01:08:30why don't they wrestle the Steiners

01:08:31in the Meadowlands on January the 11th?

01:08:34You know why?

01:08:35They don't have the guts, that's why.

01:08:37You know, I'm sick and tired of you nothing less.

01:08:39Well, then why don't you take a powder?

01:08:42You're telling me to leave.

01:08:43You're telling me to leave.

01:08:44You're a broadcast partner.

01:08:46Nice move there by the Youngbloods,

01:08:48taking it right to the Nasty Boys.

01:08:50How dare you treat me this way?

01:08:53Right hand downstairs.

01:08:55Good reversal.

01:08:56Three more to the top,

01:08:58and the referee was detained on the other side of the ring,

01:09:00but Brian Nobbs did not see what should have been

01:09:04an automatic disqualification.

01:09:06And now Brian Nobbs, will he gain another advantage here?

01:09:09He's on the outside,

01:09:10smearing Youngblood into the security railing.

01:09:15Oh, isn't that a shame?

01:09:17Can't stand the fact that these guys are better cheaters

01:09:20than the Steiner brothers, can you?

01:09:24And if you want to talk about the Metal Ants on January 11th,

01:09:27if you want to talk about guts,

01:09:28I heard LT Lawrence Taylor is coming to the Metal Ants

01:09:32that had signed, sealed, and delivered.

01:09:34If he has any guts, maybe he'll go get Otis Anderson,

01:09:37and they'll step into the ring against the Nasty Boys.

01:09:42You hear that beating of the tom-tom there?

01:09:45Something like a Florida State yell here.

01:09:47We're in Seminole country, so to speak.

01:09:49Wow!

01:09:50He DDT'd his arm.

01:09:52Good move there by the Nasty Boys.

01:09:54Brian Nobbs stomping away now at Youngblood.

01:09:57Mark Youngblood suffering a lot of punishment

01:09:59from the hands of the physical Nasty Boys.

01:10:03Was there a tag there?

01:10:04I didn't see it.

01:10:05You weren't watching.

01:10:07Jerry Sags back in there, working on the arm.

01:10:10When they're good, they're very good.

01:10:13And when they're bad, they're nasty.

01:10:16Youngblood trying to make the tag.

01:10:18He made the tag.

01:10:19No, he didn't.

01:10:19He made the tag, and the referee,

01:10:21he didn't see it, so he's not going to allow the tag.

01:10:24An unfortunate occurrence for the Youngbloods,

01:10:27and the Nasty Boys continuing to work

01:10:29on Mark Youngblood here.

01:10:31They're gonna break that arm.

01:10:32Notice how the Nasty Boys keep going back to that arm.

01:10:35Good sound strategy by Sags and Nobbs.

01:10:40Scoops him up, has him up on his shoulder.

01:10:44Shoulder breaker.

01:10:45Shoulder breaker by Sags is right.

01:10:48Youngblood, this may be all for him.

01:10:51Here come the Steiners.

01:10:52No, no, no, no.

01:10:54Here come the Steiners.

01:10:57The Steiners nailing the Nasty Boys.

01:11:00The Steiners dominating the Nasty Boys.

01:11:03If they're so tough, why are they running?

01:11:06If they're so tough, why aren't they standing here fighting?

01:11:09They don't want any part of the Steiners.

01:11:11Fans will be back.

01:11:12And now this, from Big Van Vader, he's on his way back.

01:11:16Couple of jerks.

01:11:20MUSIC

01:11:51Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest,

01:11:54it is set for one fall.

01:11:56Introducing first, from Tallahassee, Florida,

01:12:00319 pounds,

01:12:04The Night Stalker.

01:12:07And of course, it says there with Ox Baker.

01:12:09Ox Baker, I understand, Paul, is the trainer of this man.

01:12:13And Ox Baker says, I don't need to be at ringside

01:12:15for my man to take care of Sid Vicious.

01:12:17They have such a strategy tonight for Sid Vicious.

01:12:21Ox Baker sitting back at home, watching this match on TV.

01:12:25MUSIC

01:12:28Better be a real sound strategy.

01:12:30Sid Vicious ain't no pushover.

01:12:33Ladies and gentlemen, his opponent,

01:12:36representing the Horsemen, from anywhere he darn well chooses,

01:12:41321 pounds,

01:12:45Big Sid Vicious.

01:12:49Sid Vicious is cranked.

01:12:51He is ready for this one.

01:12:52And here's what he had to say.

01:12:54MUSIC

01:13:00Night Stalker, I get through to you.

01:13:02I'm coming right up to you, Steve.

01:13:04Steve, you know one thing.

01:13:05I could beat you on my worst day.

01:13:08Because Sid Vicious rules the world.

01:13:12MUSIC

01:13:15Sid Vicious says he rules the world.

01:13:18This is a match between two super heavyweights.

01:13:22Both men well over 300 pounds.

01:13:24Look at this.

01:13:25This guy matches up to Sid in size.

01:13:27Look at this.

01:13:29I tell you what.

01:13:30Ox Baker better have a real sound game plan.

01:13:33Because he is so confident.

01:13:35I mean, look at this.

01:13:36This guy ain't backing up from Sid.

01:13:38Test of strength here.

01:13:40Are these two young lions here in world championship wrestling.

01:13:43Vicious representing the horsemen.

01:13:45Who will have their battle with doom a little bit later in this broadcast.

01:13:49Still to come, Sting and the Scorpion face to face in the live danger zone.

01:13:54Kick to the ribs.

01:13:56Vicious back up.

01:13:57Returns it in kind.

01:14:02Both men running together like a Mack trucks.

01:14:06I really, really want to see what the game plan is here.

01:14:11I mean, I'm a modern day Einstein.

01:14:13I was wrestling's greatest manager before I retired because I made so much money.

01:14:17And I don't know any way to beat Sid Vicious or even to hurt Sid Vicious.

01:14:21I want to see what Baker taught this guy.

01:14:24I want to see what the Night Stalker has in store for a 6'9", 300 some odd pound.

01:14:30I want to see what the Night Stalker has in store for a 6'9", 300 some odd pound.

01:14:35A big Sid Vicious.

01:14:37Vicious pops the ears, frees himself from the bear hug.

01:14:40But the Night Stalker reapplies it.

01:14:42A big powerful man.

01:14:44Both these men bench press and an excess of 500 pounds each.

01:14:49You know, Sid's in pain.

01:14:51Sid is in pain.

01:14:53I cannot believe this.

01:14:55The Night Stalker awesomely strong.

01:14:57Of course, so is Vicious.

01:14:59But right now, it's the Night Stalker with the advantage,

01:15:02using one of the most basic wrestling maneuvers in the sport, the bear hug.

01:15:07Vicious with that right hand, trying to free himself.

01:15:10And he finally does.

01:15:11The third right hand.

01:15:12The fourth right hand.

01:15:13Kicks him back into the corner.

01:15:17Vicious fighting now.

01:15:19It's not going to be the prettiest match in the card.

01:15:21Right in the ribs.

01:15:22He need him right in the ribs.

01:15:24And again, the Night Stalker.

01:15:26Perhaps they're going to work on the ribs of Sid Vicious.

01:15:28It's not just the ribs of Sid Vicious.

01:15:30Remember, those ribs were cracked.

01:15:32Remember, that lung was punctured.

01:15:35That lung was punctured a year ago.

01:15:37Sid Vicious was in the hospital for months and months and months.

01:15:41That's the strategy.

01:15:43That's the strategy.

01:15:44He's going after those ribs.

01:15:45He's going after that lung.

01:15:47If Vicious has any Achilles heels, so to speak, perhaps it is his ribs.

01:15:53The big man with a left hand fights back.

01:15:57Sid's hurt.

01:15:58Sid is hurt.

01:15:59I'm telling you, he's going for that punctured lung.

01:16:02They have gotten the only way to go for Sid.

01:16:09Night Stalker holding Vicious at bay.

01:16:12Vicious catching with the right hand.

01:16:14Coming down here.

01:16:15What's the big cat doing down here?

01:16:17He wants to see who the biggest cat in this jungle is too.

01:16:22Vicious suplex.

01:16:24Belly to back suplex by Sid Vicious.

01:16:26And Vicious just nailed the big cat.

01:16:32Vicious just tattooed the big cat.

01:16:34But he adds his back to the Night Stalker.

01:16:37You don't turn your back on the Night Stalker.

01:16:41Night Stalker going after him.

01:16:44Vicious with the right hand.

01:16:46Here comes the big cat.

01:16:49Vicious has got that big club-like thing.

01:16:52He nailed him in the throat.

01:16:53One, two, three.

01:16:54Vicious wins it.

01:16:57The fight is on.

01:16:58But there are two men in the ring against one.

01:17:02The Night Stalker and the big cat dominating Luger here.

01:17:06Or excuse me, Sid Vicious.

01:17:10They're going after that lung.

01:17:11They're going after those ribs.

01:17:13That's the game plan.

01:17:14That was Axe Baker's game plan.

01:17:16Vicious trying to find his way out of predicament.

01:17:18Vicious smartly rolls outside.

01:17:22Boy, the Night Stalker and the big cat have started something with Sid Vicious.

01:17:26They may regret.

01:17:28Vicious has a steel chair.

01:17:30They've worked on those ribs and that lung.

01:17:35He's hurt.

01:17:36I cannot believe it.

01:17:37Finally, it's been discovered.

01:17:39Tony Schiavone is standing by, fans.

01:17:41Tony, take it away.

01:17:44Okay, Jim Ross and Paulie Dangerously earlier in the program.

01:17:48A victory for the Fabulous Freebird.

01:17:50I've got to tell you something, Tony, Tony, Tony.

01:17:53I bet that big giant right now is in the box on the way to Argentina somewhere.

01:17:59What a night it's been.

01:18:02Was that funny or not?

01:18:03What we did, we punched him in the nose, kicked him in the stomach, shoved him in this big box.

01:18:09Then we taped it all up and we wrote Sid to Argentina on it.

01:18:14Collect.

01:18:15And then we shoved it into the airplane.

01:18:17And away it went.

01:18:19What a night, I've got to tell you.

01:18:22Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

01:18:23Hey, what are you doing?

01:18:25You want some more of the birds, baby?

01:18:27You want some more of Bad Street?

01:18:30Hey, I'll tie one hand behind my back and we'll do it all over again.

01:18:36What happened?

01:18:38All right, the Fabulous Freebirds.

01:18:42Uh-oh.

01:18:45Seven feet seven.

01:18:46Hey, Freebirds, you're not so bad, are you now?

01:18:49You gutless cowards.

01:18:50Next time we get our hands on you, you're butt-sized because we've got 7'7", 450 pounds of Ali Gante,

01:18:57and he's going to be on you like a duck on a jumbo.

01:19:01Ali Gante here with the Southern Boys on the Clash of Champions.

01:19:06More action, but right now, let's hear from Missy Hyatt.

01:19:10Isn't the Clash tonight great?

01:19:15Now, don't forget to join Jim Ross and me this Sunday night for the main event.

01:19:19It's at 605 here on TBS.

01:19:22Iron Anderson will defend his world television title against Terry Taylor,

01:19:26and we'll be back with more of the Clash right after this.

01:19:29♪♪

01:19:41Welcome back, everyone, to the Clash of Champions.

01:19:44We're live here in Jacksonville.

01:19:46Welcome back to the Clash, everyone.

01:19:48Before we see the Steiner Brothers in action, they've already been out here once tonight.

01:19:52Let's go back in time and show you their attack on the Nasty Boys.

01:19:56Youngblood, and this may be all for him.

01:19:58Wait a minute. Here come the Steiners.

01:20:00No, no, no.

01:20:02Here come the Steiners.

01:20:05The Steiners nailing the Nasty Boys.

01:20:08The Steiners dominating the Nasty Boys.

01:20:11If they're so tough, why are they running?

01:20:13If they're so tough, why aren't they standing here and fighting?

01:20:19And now let's go back up to Gary Capessa.

01:20:21The Steiners are fired up, and they're next.

01:20:23Ladies and gentlemen, the following tag team event, it is a one-fall.

01:20:28Introducing first, in the ring, from Halsted Street, Chicago, Illinois,

01:20:34total combined weight, 520 pounds, Magnum Force.

01:20:43And ladies and gentlemen, their opponents, from Detroit, Michigan,

01:20:48total combined weight, 525 pounds, the United States Tag Team Champions,

01:20:55Rick Steiner, Scott Steiner, The Steiner Brothers.

01:21:02These two outstanding young men will represent the United States of America,

01:21:06exclusively on pay-per-view at Starrcade 90,

01:21:11on Sunday night, December the 16th,

01:21:13in the historic Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis,

01:21:16in the first-ever Pat O'Connor International Tag Team Tournament.

01:21:21They're seated number one, as they take on Magnum Force here.

01:21:24And they're a bad example for the youth of America.

01:21:27I disagree with that wholeheartedly.

01:21:29Oh, come on now. Ours is not a vengeful society,

01:21:33despite what the Guardian Angels tell you.

01:21:35And these guys came out for revenge against the Nasty Boys.

01:21:39They acted like a couple of street punks,

01:21:41and I should give the Nasty Boys my lawyer Seymour Green's business card,

01:21:45because they have a lawsuit against these guys.

01:21:49Single-leg pick-up by Scott Steiner,

01:21:51the former All-American from the University of Michigan,

01:21:54stomping away in pro-wrestling style,

01:21:57sending Magnum Force for the ride, tilt-over!

01:22:03Another slam!

01:22:06If these guys represent the United States of America,

01:22:11then I'm moving to Canada.

01:22:14I'm ashamed of them.

01:22:15They acted like a couple of street punks.

01:22:18They should be arrested.

01:22:19Knee to the midsection. Here comes the dog-faced gremlin.

01:22:22Yes, they're barking.

01:22:25Bunch of animals in this. Bunch of animals here.

01:22:29Tony Schiavone's gonna be talking to the Horseman in a few moments.

01:22:32Still to come, the Danger Zone with Sting and the Scorpion,

01:22:35and then Horseman Dooms showdown.

01:22:36All that and more still to come here at the Clash.

01:22:39He missed with that clothesline.

01:22:40Straight right hand by Rick Steiner.

01:22:45Oh, no! Oh, no!

01:22:47Banner line!

01:22:54Another right by Rick Steiner.

01:22:57Both the Steiners have their degrees from Michigan.

01:23:00Outstanding young competitors.

01:23:02Scholar athletes in Michigan.

01:23:05There he goes! And there it is!

01:23:08Rick Steiner!

01:23:09Rick Steiner on primetime!

01:23:18Here come the Nasty Boys!

01:23:20Go get him! Go get him, Nasty Boys!

01:23:22The Nasty Boys attacking the Steiners!

01:23:25The fight is on!

01:23:27You better pack your bags!

01:23:30The Steiners!

01:23:32Fist and fire! Rick Steiner now!

01:23:34Banner line!

01:23:36The Steiners nailing the Nasty Boys!

01:23:40The Nasty Boys cannot handle the Steiners!

01:23:44Close the book on that one!

01:23:46They better pick another day to jump the Steiners!

01:23:51This is the end of the match by Steiner Brothers!

01:23:58They are bad, and they'll represent our country at Starrcade!

01:24:04I'm ashamed of being American!

01:24:06Let's go to Tony Schiavone, fans!

01:24:09Okay, Jim Ross and Paulie Dangerously.

01:24:11I have in my hand what's going to go down here tonight.

01:24:14Either Ric Flair in this bill of sale contract

01:24:18will give over his 65-foot limo and the yacht,

01:24:22or Teddy Long is going to wear a chauffeur's outfit.

01:24:25He's going to chauffeur around for a day,

01:24:27but more importantly, if the horsemen win this one-on-one match tonight,

01:24:31you gentlemen get the rematch at Starrcade.

01:24:34Well, let's tell it like it is!

01:24:38We are!

01:24:41Whether you like it or don't like it,

01:24:45we are the horsemen!

01:24:48And tonight, live, nationwide,

01:24:53one of us goes against one of them.

01:24:56Keep in mind, the world television champion,

01:25:01and in my own modest right,

01:25:04six times your world champion,

01:25:08so Simmons, Ewan Reed, and Teddy Long,

01:25:12remember, tonight, you've got to walk the aisle!

01:25:20Tony Schiavone, it's a simple case of man's greed

01:25:25completely destroying them.

01:25:28Okay, fans, still to come,

01:25:30the Danger Zone with Paulie Daders-Leon Singh and the Black Smokin'.

01:25:50Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen,

01:25:51to the Clash of Champions in just a few moments.

01:25:53We'll be going to the live Danger Zone.

01:25:55We've waited on this one a long time.

01:25:57Sting and the Black Scorpion will be face-to-face

01:26:00along with our colleague, Paulie Daders-Leon.

01:26:02But let's go back in time and show you how this entire situation

01:26:06between the Mysterious Masked Man

01:26:08and the heavyweight champion of the world started.

01:26:13Los Angeles, 86.

01:26:18The Mysterious Black Scorpion seemingly came out of nowhere,

01:26:21but his intentions were never a mystery.

01:26:25I hope, I hope, as I intend,

01:26:29that you're slowly losing your mind.

01:26:32One thing you must remember,

01:26:35while everybody, including the horsemen, are chasing you,

01:26:40there's a big difference.

01:26:43Sid wants your belt.

01:26:47I want your life.

01:26:52Sting and his alleged former acquaintance

01:26:54met at Clash of Champions 12,

01:26:56but what happened shocked everyone.

01:26:59He's got another mask on!

01:27:00What the heck is that?

01:27:01He said if he lost...

01:27:03Wait a minute, Jim, what's that coming down the ramp?

01:27:05Look!

01:27:06Bob, look at the back!

01:27:07In the back, back there, what a...

01:27:09Hey, look at Sting, look at...

01:27:11Jim, who is that? What is that?

01:27:14My God!

01:27:15That's the...

01:27:16That's the Black Scorpion.

01:27:18Sting traveled to Chicago to defend the world title,

01:27:20but the Black Scorpion appeared again.

01:27:24Come!

01:27:26I will give it to you.

01:27:29Sting!

01:27:31Sting!

01:27:33Try, try to defeat the Black Scorpion.

01:27:39The Black Scorpion's black magic will be too much,

01:27:43too powerful for you.

01:27:46Sting, I have come to defeat you.

01:27:51As the pressure continued to mount

01:27:53on the popular world's champion,

01:27:55the Black Scorpion mysteriously appeared

01:27:57to be everywhere Sting was.

01:28:02Before you get carried away,

01:28:04I want you to listen to me once again,

01:28:07Black Sting.

01:28:12Surprised?

01:28:15You should be.

01:28:17Pay attention to your match, Sting.

01:28:21That's a Scorpion.

01:28:23Fight, Sting. Fight.

01:28:27Fight, Sting.

01:28:29Tonight, they meet face to face.

01:28:31And what will happen?

01:28:34Ladies and gentlemen, that's the big question.

01:28:36What will happen?

01:28:38Let's go now, ladies.

01:28:40You see the whole situation has been really wild and crazy.

01:28:43Let's go now to Paul Erdman.

01:28:45We've waited on this.

01:28:47The first man tonight

01:28:49that has enough guts

01:28:51to enter the Danger Zone

01:28:53is the heavyweight champion of the world!

01:28:57Ladies and gentlemen, this is Sting!

01:29:04What an ovation for the world's heavyweight champion.

01:29:07He has been tormented.

01:29:09His mind trying to be, keep clear for his title defenses.

01:29:13The Black Scorpion trying to possess the mind of the world champion.

01:29:20You wanted it.

01:29:22You've asked for it.

01:29:24I told you I'm the Mike Wallace of wrestling.

01:29:28Well, I got it for you.

01:29:30Tonight, you will finally have the chance

01:29:33to face to face.

01:29:35See, the Black Scorpion under three...

01:29:37Do me a favor and everybody else out here

01:29:40and everybody out there in TV land, shut up.

01:29:45I've been warned against doing this,

01:29:48but it's something that I gotta do

01:29:50and I'm gonna do it.

01:29:52Chance face to face.

01:29:54Okay, I'm not disagreeing with...

01:29:57What you doing? Annoying the sound engineer?

01:30:00But what I'm telling you is...

01:30:03Will you cut the music? I'm talking.

01:30:05Hey!

01:30:06Cut the music, I'm talking.

01:30:08Hey!

01:30:09Hey, whoa, whoa!

01:30:10Sting, I'm here, Sting.

01:30:13Watch me while I show you...

01:30:16Don't do it, you made a deal with them.

01:30:18Hey, hey, you made a deal with them.

01:30:20I made a deal.

01:30:21Watch Sting.

01:30:23Yeah, deals are deals, what's this?

01:30:26What is he doing to this guy?

01:30:29Stay where you are.

01:30:30No, you made a deal with them.

01:30:32I have to stand here, Paul.

01:30:33What's he doing?

01:30:34Watch very closely, Sting.

01:30:37More black magic.

01:30:38Watch this.

01:30:40Black magic.

01:30:42Sting, I'm too powerful.

01:30:46And stern as God.

01:30:48And stern as God.

01:30:50You made a deal.

01:30:51You told him he could show you black magic.

01:30:53I'm letting him do his stuff.

01:30:54Fine, let him do it.

01:30:55Watch me, Sting.

01:30:57Keep him back dangerously.

01:30:59Remember the agreement?

01:31:00You're throwing him in the cage.

01:31:02Yes, the cage.

01:31:04Watch now, Sting.

01:31:07Now hold him, hold him.

01:31:08You promised him.

01:31:12Watch very closely, Sting.

01:31:14I'll show you powers you never knew I possess.

01:31:22Whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:31:23Whoa, whoa.

01:31:26Now you made him a deal.

01:31:28You made him a deal.

01:31:29What is he?

01:31:31What is this?

01:31:33My powers.

01:31:34Hey, I'm not going to stand for this.

01:31:36I'm going to jump down there in a second.

01:31:38I don't care about a rule, Pollock.

01:31:40You made him a deal.

01:31:42Yeah, I don't care.

01:31:44Hey, get back here.

01:31:48Sting, get back here.

01:31:55What in the world?

01:31:57Where did he go?

01:32:01See you at Stargate, Sting.

01:32:05He's done it again, fans.

01:32:06This is bizarre, so bizarre.

01:32:08We'll be back in just a moment.

01:32:10Where'd he go?

01:32:16World Championship Wrestling presents

01:32:17Stargate 90 Collision Course.

01:32:19Make plans to witness an explosive event

01:32:21of galactic proportions.

01:32:22Stargate 90 Collision Course, live only on

01:32:25pay-per-view Sunday, December 16th.

01:32:27Call your local cable operator for availability.

01:32:35All right, fans, what a bizarre set of circumstances

01:32:38surrounding the Black Scorpion and Sting

01:32:40as we head to Stargate.

01:32:42And as we heard before from the horsemen,

01:32:44their moment is at hand with Doom.

01:32:47It's here, the line in the limo,

01:32:49going up against a chance to go to Stargate 90 Collision Course.

01:32:54It's here, the line in the limo,

01:32:56going up against a chance to go to Stargate 90 Collision Course.

01:33:01Going up against a chance to go to Stargate

01:33:03and Teddy Long has a chauffeur.

01:33:05Let's take a look back in time

01:33:06at what has transpired leading up

01:33:08to tonight's big main event.

01:33:10You understand what I'm saying?

01:33:12I think Teddy Long's been up more than he can chill.

01:33:14The feud between wrestling's two most controversial units

01:33:17began on a danger zone

01:33:18when Paul E. Dangerously was interviewing the horsemen.

01:33:21Doom obviously did not want to share the spotlight.

01:33:25...the notoriety of being the użyte.

01:33:28I've had enough of you, McMahon, running your mouth,

01:33:32talking about what the Horsemen are going to do to Doom.

01:33:35Well, let me tell you something.

01:33:36Surely you're not talking to me, little man.

01:33:39Hey, wait.

01:33:40Oh, they're saying, hey, let him go, let him go.

01:33:45With battle lines drawn, the Horsemen and Doom

01:33:48met at Halloween Havoc for Doom's World Tag Team titles.

01:33:52In one of the wildest bouts ever witnessed,

01:33:54both teams were disqualified.

01:33:56However, Doom retained the tag titles.

01:33:59Anderson, over here to the security railing.

01:34:02You wanted havoc on Halloween?

01:34:04You got it right here.

01:34:07They're on the outside, and here comes Reed.

01:34:09And now all four men are out there.

01:34:12This is like a Bengali brawl.

01:34:16There are those chops, fists by Doom.

01:34:19Chops and fists by the Horsemen.

01:34:21They're going down the aisle.

01:34:23The referee's back in the ring.

01:34:24They've only got a 10 count to get back.

01:34:26They're calling for a bell.

01:34:28Both teams are being counted out.

01:34:31The Horsemen lobbied for a World Tag Title rematch,

01:34:34but Doom manager Theodore Arlong refused

01:34:37until his terms were met.

01:34:39Ric Flair, do I make myself clear?

01:34:42That Rolls Royce limousine, that 65 foot yacht,

01:34:46take it or leave it.

01:34:47Now you make up your mind right now, or I'm out of here, pal.

01:34:50Don't ever make the mistake of thinking

01:34:53you can crank on me, pal, on national TV.

01:34:57The bet's on.

01:34:58But remember this, to ride around in that limo

01:35:02and to drive up and down Lake Lanier in that boat,

01:35:06you got to beat me or Arn Anderson.

01:35:08Part with that mind, pal.

01:35:11Arlong felt very comfortable with the deal

01:35:13in prospect of winning Ric Flair's own personal Rolls

01:35:15Royce and a chance to win the World Tag Title.

01:35:18He was determined to win the Rolls Royce and his yacht

01:35:21until he received a surprise gift box.

01:35:24It also says that if they win,

01:35:27then Teddy Long must be their chauffeur for a day.

01:35:30I'm a horseman.

01:35:31What?

01:35:32Didn't you read the fine print?

01:35:33Hey, come on, Rolls, is this some kind of conspiracy?

01:35:37I never read nothing like that.

01:35:38I signed a contract, but I never read that.

01:35:41Do you think I'm gonna wear this stuff right here?

01:35:43You're gonna be chauffeur for a day

01:35:44if your men don't win Tuesday night.

01:35:46Well, let me tell you something,

01:35:47that doom will take out either Ric Flair or Arn Anderson,

01:35:50and I'm not gonna wear no silver cap.

01:35:52I'm not gonna wear no coat, no gloves, or nothing.

01:35:54All right?

01:35:55Don't bring me out here

01:35:56and humiliate me or try to embarrass me.

01:35:59Ladies and gentlemen, introducing first,

01:36:02the godfather of professional wrestling,

01:36:05Theodore Arlong presents the World Tag Team Champions,

01:36:11Ron Simmons, Butch Reed, the Team of Thieves.

01:36:17The number one tag team in the world today.

01:36:24But Paul, tonight, right here at the Clash of Champions,

01:36:27it's not going to be a tag team match.

01:36:29The participants will be determined by a coin toss

01:36:32that referee Nick Patrick will execute.

01:36:35But this is an awesome combination.

01:36:42What was that in the cage?

01:36:44A live tiger.

01:36:47I can't believe it.

01:36:48I've never seen anything like it.

01:36:51And ladies and gentlemen, the Horseman.

01:36:55First, from the great state of Minnesota,

01:36:58weighing 248 pounds, the World Television Champion,

01:37:05The Enforcer, Arn Anderson.

01:37:07Arn Anderson.

01:37:13And the number one, weighing 248 pounds,

01:37:19six times former World Heavyweight Champion,

01:37:23Nature Boy, Rick Laird.

01:37:32Let's go up to the ring now and get the instructions here.

01:37:38And now, ladies and gentlemen,

01:37:39the referee, Nick Patrick, with the coin toss.

01:37:43All right, gentlemen, you've been instructed

01:37:44of the rules in the back.

01:37:46We're going to do a coin toss right now

01:37:47to determine who's going to represent each team.

01:37:50Doom, you call first.

01:37:57All right.

01:38:01This man right here will represent

01:38:03the World Tag Team Champion, Soul Brother, Butch Reed.

01:38:06All right, Butch Reed will represent the team of Doom.

01:38:10Gentlemen, call it in the air.

01:38:13Heads.

01:38:14Heads it is.

01:38:15Rick Flair will represent the Horseman.

01:38:18That's to the Horseman's advantage.

01:38:19All right, ladies and gentlemen,

01:38:20we'll get this one underway,

01:38:22but right now, let's take our final commercial timeout,

01:38:24and we'll be back with Flair and Reed one-on-one.

01:38:28Let's go.

01:38:43And we are back here, ladies and gentlemen,

01:38:46Jim Ross and Paul Lee, Dana Lee, at ringside.

01:38:48It's Hacksaw, Butch Reed,

01:38:50and the legendary Nature Boy, Rick Flair, one-on-one.

01:38:53for the right, a lot of, we're talking about the right to wrestle at StarCade

01:38:58for the World Tag Team Titles.

01:39:00Interesting situation here, a lot on the line here.

01:39:03If the Horsemen win, they get their rematch.

01:39:05Teddy Long's gotta be their chauffeur for a day.

01:39:07If Reed wins, then Long's gonna win the yacht

01:39:12and the Rolls-Royce limousine, and no rematch at StarCade.

01:39:18This is to the Horsemen's advantage.

01:39:21I'll tell you right now, this was a tag team match tonight.

01:39:24I predict Doom.

01:39:25They are the greatest tag team champions of all time.

01:39:28But Nature Boy Ric Flair is a one-on-one wrestler.

01:39:31But Reed is in a tag team mode.

01:39:32Are you happy with the way it was drawn there, Teddy?

01:39:34You gotta believe I'm happy with the way it was drawn.

01:39:36There's no other man on the world in the tag team of Doom

01:39:39more qualified than Soul Brother Butch Reed

01:39:41to take out Ric Flair tonight.

01:39:43And we're gonna be riding on that boat,

01:39:45and we're gonna be riding in that limousine,

01:39:47and you gotta believe it.

01:39:48Hey, have you tried on that chauffeur's uniform?

01:39:50Don't get funny with me, Ruff.

01:39:51You try it on. It looks like it's your size.

01:39:54Well, that's enough from him.

01:39:55Must be extra, extra, extra large.

01:39:58Straight right hand by Hacksaw Butch Reed.

01:40:00And another one, he met that left jab, caught Flair,

01:40:03and down goes the incomparable Nature Boy.

01:40:05Yeah, but you see, right here is where Butch Reed

01:40:07might be looking for a tag.

01:40:08Butch Reed has been in a tag team mode

01:40:10for the past two years.

01:40:12Ric Flair is the greatest heavyweight champion

01:40:14as far as up to two of all time.

01:40:15Big right hand by Hacksaw Butch Reed.

01:40:21Reed really nailing Nature Boy, Ric Flair.

01:40:24He's got him!

01:40:25Whoa!

01:40:26Gorilla slam by Reed!

01:40:29Ric Flair, a big Florida football fan,

01:40:32was here in Jacksonville to watch the Florida-Georgia game.

01:40:36I think he wanted to wrestle Ron Simmons,

01:40:38who's a Florida State alumni.

01:40:40Clothesline by Reed, and the former Kansas City Chief

01:40:44sends Flair over the top outside.

01:40:47Yeah, but if you notice,

01:40:48the Nature Boy's not looking for any help.

01:40:51He's not looking.

01:40:52Look at Simmons, taking a cheap shot.

01:40:54Oh!

01:40:57Orton Anderson having to be restrained by Nick Patrick.

01:41:02Notice Nature Boy, Ric Flair, though.

01:41:04He comes right back at Reed.

01:41:07Nature Boy, Ric Flair, is the greatest one-on-one wrestler

01:41:10I have ever seen.

01:41:11This is to his advantage.

01:41:13Flair with a knee, and then he left the ring

01:41:16to break the momentum of Hacksaw Butch Reed.

01:41:18They're out there on the runway, and a clothesline

01:41:21by Reed.

01:41:22It's a power match thus far.

01:41:24Perfectly executed by Hacksaw Butch Reed,

01:41:27who's about 285.

01:41:29He's 285, but he's still a tag team wrestler,

01:41:32and he's in there against Nature Boy, Ric Flair.

01:41:35Sooner or later, the odds are against Reed.

01:41:39Nice move there by Flair Reed.

01:41:42What a bridge up with Flair on top of him.

01:41:46Flair trying to counter out.

01:41:47Now test of strength.

01:41:48Reed with the advantage.

01:41:50One, two, oh!

01:41:52He's close to being pinned here.

01:41:55Nature Boy, Ric Flair, knows by instinct

01:41:57how to survive in a match.

01:41:59He knows how not to be pinned.

01:42:01That's why he's a six-time heavyweight champion.

01:42:04Right hand by Reed.

01:42:06The big man from Missouri hammers down

01:42:10at Hacksaw, at Nature Boy, Ric Flair.

01:42:15Oh, oh!

01:42:18Flair in a lot of trouble, needless to say.

01:42:23Field right out of the corner.

01:42:24And a drop kick by Reed.

01:42:26He got all 285 up for that drop kick.

01:42:30But notice the survival instincts

01:42:32of Nature Boy, Ric Flair.

01:42:33Notice the survival instincts, how he will not-

01:42:36Poke to the eye.

01:42:37Beautiful.

01:42:39No matter how big, no matter how strong Reed is,

01:42:41you're never strong in the eyes.

01:42:43You can't work out the eyelids in a gym.

01:42:46Remember this one.

01:42:47If Flair wins, they get their rematch

01:42:49for the world title at Starrcade,

01:42:51exclusively on pay-per-view.

01:42:54If Flair, and also Long's gotta be their chauffeur for a day.

01:42:57If Flair loses, there's no rematch.

01:42:59And Teddy Long wins Flair's Rolls-Royce limousine

01:43:02in his 65-foot yacht.

01:43:04Yeah, but if Doom wins, what do they get, huh?

01:43:07What do Reed and Simmons get?

01:43:08This is to the Horseman's advantage

01:43:10because Flair and Arn have a lot at stake

01:43:13and a lot to gain.

01:43:14The Horseman has nothing to gain.

01:43:16They have not to wrestle the Horseman again.

01:43:18Of course they have something to gain.

01:43:19But I think Reed and Simmons want to wrestle the Horseman.

01:43:22I mean, they're great world tag team champions.

01:43:24They thrive on competition.

01:43:26There's a big four-time All-American

01:43:28from Florida State, Ron Simmons.

01:43:33I know great fans all over the country watching this.

01:43:36Oh, by Flair.

01:43:37Hear that one.

01:43:39And another one.

01:43:40Shaking the rafters of the Veterans Memorial Coliseum

01:43:43in Jacksonville, Florida, where we are live.

01:43:53Referee detained, and Flair tosses Reed over the top.

01:43:57He says he's the dirtiest player in the game.

01:44:00And now Arn Anderson.

01:44:03Taking advantage while he can.

01:44:07You want to play one-upmanship with the Horseman.

01:44:11Arn Anderson, as the world turns.

01:44:14As the world turns.

01:44:16There you go.

01:44:17The former heavyweight champion of the world

01:44:20and the world television champion.

01:44:22No way they're going to get beat tonight.

01:44:24No way.

01:44:27Flair stomping Reed viciously.

01:44:29Referee Nick Patrick over here by us,

01:44:32trying to get Ron Simmons on the other side of the ring.

01:44:34And there's the enforcer.

01:44:36Waiting for his chance.

01:44:38Anderson with a left hand.

01:44:39It found a smark on the jaw of Hacksaw Burt Reed.

01:44:43Like I said, it was a tag team match.

01:44:46I'll give it to Doom, but it's not a tag team match.

01:44:48It's one-on-one.

01:44:50And you got Simmons and Arn on the outside,

01:44:52but the Horseman will not let Doom take this away from them.

01:44:56It's almost a tradition to see the Nature Boy

01:44:59in the main event at the Clash of Champions.

01:45:01He was in the main event at the very first one.

01:45:04He'll be in the main event Thanksgiving night

01:45:06in the Omni in Atlanta.

01:45:07This is a legend in his own time.

01:45:10And the chips are down.

01:45:10This is his specialty.

01:45:11But Reed, oh, what a chop

01:45:14against those massive pictorial muscles of Reed.

01:45:18Reed with a stinging lip.

01:45:20And another.

01:45:22Flair chops him viciously in the corner.

01:45:30The intensity of World Championship Wrestling

01:45:33coming right into your living room here.

01:45:35Now, Nature Boy has to slow down the pace.

01:45:38Nature Boy has to make it a Horseman's kind of match.

01:45:41If he fights Reed on his own terms, he can't beat him.

01:45:44Big right hand by Reed.

01:45:46Down goes Flair.

01:45:48This match taking its physical toll

01:45:51on both these superb athletes.

01:45:53Flair backs away into the corner.

01:45:57It's all on the line right here.

01:46:02Irish whip.

01:46:05Flair upside down.

01:46:06He got his balance.

01:46:08Wow.

01:46:09Big right hand by Simmons.

01:46:12This crowd taking a rough at the Coliseum.

01:46:16Flair to the rail.

01:46:22The intensity is simply electrifying here.

01:46:27Now it's to Reed's advantage.

01:46:29Right now, Ric Flair's hurt.

01:46:30Rod Simmons had his hands on the Nature Boy,

01:46:33but look, Reed has taken his time.

01:46:35He's made a mistake.

01:46:37Either he capitalizes on Flair's injury,

01:46:39or right there, the Nature Boy's gonna show why.

01:46:41He's a former heavyweight champion of the world.

01:46:43One of those big right hands of Reed

01:46:45has busted Flair's lip.

01:46:47That won't slow down the Nature Boy.

01:46:49A man many consider the greatest

01:46:51world's champion of all time.

01:46:54Now, busted lip's not gonna stop Nature Boy, Ric Flair.

01:46:56This guy's spilled more blood than any wrestler

01:46:59I've ever seen in my life,

01:47:00and he still is the most successful one-on-one grappler

01:47:03in the power sport.

01:47:04Snapping there by Flair.

01:47:05Taking the 285-pounder over.

01:47:09Drops a knee on the head of Reed,

01:47:11and Reed now in serious trouble.

01:47:13Here are the class of champions.

01:47:15I don't care if you have a head made out of granite.

01:47:18That has got to hurt.

01:47:25Well, missed the knee there.

01:47:27Reed spinning leg lock, going for the figure four.

01:47:30That's Flair's home!

01:47:33How much can Flair stay into this?

01:47:35They're in the center of the ring.

01:47:37The figure four leg lock, perfected by that man.

01:47:42His shoulders are down, and we are so close.

01:47:44Less than six inches away from victory for doom.

01:47:51Great athletes around the country watching this one,

01:47:53like Brad Muster of the Bears,

01:47:55and Bill Fralick of the Falcons.

01:47:57Brad Doherty of the Cleveland Bronx.

01:48:00Bill Fralick of the Falcons.

01:48:01Brad Doherty of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

01:48:04All big WCW fans,

01:48:06and they're getting their money's worth here.

01:48:08He's on the ropes.

01:48:10He's on, break the hold!

01:48:14Orton Anderson trying to pull Flair outside.

01:48:16Now he's under the ropes, and it will have to be broken.

01:48:20But the jury is out.

01:48:22How much damage has been done to Flair's legs?

01:48:25How much will this lessen Flair's mobility?

01:48:28He has to break the hold.

01:48:30That's how you break a hold.

01:48:31There you go.

01:48:34Hey, I'll tell you what, he could have disqualified him,

01:48:37and the Horsemen will get their rematch.

01:48:38Nick Patrick just gave Doom a break there,

01:48:41in my estimation.

01:48:47Front face lock by Reed.

01:48:49Flair out there on the apron.

01:48:51He's blocking it.

01:48:52He's trying to block it.

01:48:53Reed is awesomely strong.

01:48:55A 500 pound big face brings him back in.

01:48:59Flair in trouble.

01:49:00This might be it.

01:49:01One, two.

01:49:06Flair less than a second away from losing it all.

01:49:11But he still didn't get the three count, did he?

01:49:16Reed now back to wrestling that power match,

01:49:19just as this contest started.

01:49:21And now Reed taking a big chance here

01:49:23on the second turnbuckle.

01:49:25Nobody home.

01:49:26Flair moved out of the way.

01:49:27A big break for the Horsemen.

01:49:28But is Flair physically able to capitalize on this one?

01:49:32He can go for it with instinct.

01:49:33You're talking about a guy that has learned

01:49:35throughout the years when your opponent is hurt.

01:49:38Capitalize on it, no matter how hurt you are.

01:49:40Go for the kill.

01:49:42A rematch at Starrcade.

01:49:44Exclusively on pay-per-view.

01:49:46Hangs in the balance here.

01:49:47There's a close on by Reed.

01:49:49And Flair is down again.

01:49:52But notice Flair trying to fight up.

01:49:54One.

01:49:56Barely up, just inches away from the canvas.

01:50:02Reed now climbs on top.

01:50:05I don't know why Reed is doing this.

01:50:07He should be trying to go for the pin.

01:50:09This is not putting Flair's shoulders to the mat.

01:50:13But he's punishing the former world's champion

01:50:15with a vengeance.

01:50:16With a vengeance.

01:50:20I think Flair's busted.

01:50:22He hit him right above the eye with those right hands.

01:50:25Pops him again.

01:50:29What a chop!

01:50:35Straight right by Reed.

01:50:39Nailing Flair again.

01:50:40Yeah, but notice by instinct,

01:50:41Flair turns over on his belly.

01:50:43He doesn't want his shoulders on the mat.

01:50:46Reed, gorilla slamming Flair.

01:50:47This may be it right now.

01:50:49How much more can any human being withstand?

01:50:52The gorilla slam.

01:50:55You got him!

01:50:56And Flair nailed Reed with a ride.

01:50:58He took advantage of the referee's positioning.

01:51:01One, two.

01:51:04His foot's on the rope.

01:51:08Teddy Long put that foot on the rope.

01:51:10Teddy Long put his foot on the rope.

01:51:16Again, they're exchanging rights.

01:51:18The fatigue factor's got to be setting in here.

01:51:22He's elevated.

01:51:25Flair really been battered and hammered by Reed thus far.

01:51:30Again!

01:51:32The third gorilla slam Flair has sustained in this contest.

01:51:36A lateral press.

01:51:37One!

01:51:38One!

01:51:39Two!

01:51:40And a shoulder up.

01:51:41But Anderson pulled him outside.

01:51:43Anderson pulled the ref outside.

01:51:46To perhaps prevent the pin.

01:51:48Reed's going up top.

01:51:50This is how he won the world tag team title.

01:51:55Reed with a shoulder block on Flair.

01:52:00Flair is hurt.

01:52:03Flair's leg is hurt.

01:52:05The referee's on Teddy Long.

01:52:08Long is an idiot, I cannot believe.

01:52:10He is distracting the referee.

01:52:12They could win the match right here.

01:52:16A tactical error, perhaps by Theodore R. Long,

01:52:18that has given Flair time to recuperate.

01:52:25Oh my gosh.

01:52:26They're all down.

01:52:27Reed fell on Nick Patrick and on Teddy Long.

01:52:31They're all out.

01:52:33Simmons in the ring.

01:52:35Ron Simmons just nailed Flair with a clothesline.

01:52:38Reed's going to pin him here, but no referee in sight.

01:52:41Here comes Double A!

01:52:43He's got a chair!

01:52:46Anderson with a chair in the back of the head.

01:52:49Simmons thinks his team has won it.

01:52:51The referee back in the ring.

01:52:53One, two, three, go!

01:52:55The Horsemen win it!

01:53:02The Horsemen win it!

01:53:03They'll get their rematch at Starrcade.
