00:00competitors. I'll tell you what Eric, you know we had talked about this a long time ago. This is
00:05where the big boys play and I guarantee that you cannot find it any better anywhere. This is WCW.
00:10Let me tell you something about Guerrero. This kid can beat you so quick at any minute. You've
00:16got to be prepared at all times because he is so fast. So this is the third test, I believe,
00:21for Alex Wright. Now we saw a collar and elbow hookup, a standing switch, a duck under takedown,
00:26head scissors, and all of this is just taking place in a matchup. All of this is just taking
00:30place in the open 15 to 20 seconds of this bout. So when you talk about fast-paced action,
00:34that is what you're going to get here. Another duck under, go behind into a full Nelson by
00:40Guerrero. Nice reversal attempt by Alex Wright, but reversed again by Guerrero into a reverse
00:44facelock. Alex Wright sits out, spins, tries to get some daylight between himself and Guerrero.
00:49Eddie Guerrero, of course, the son of the great Borey Guerrero, who made the Camel Clutch famous.
00:57Well, and the other situation that's going on here, both men are jockeying for division,
01:02but bottom line, you want to keep the faster man. Now, Guerrero tried to keep Alex Wright
01:06in a situation there on the mat, but could not. He'd come up. One other thing about wall games,
01:11my favorite. Watch, my friend, what a blow that was. But the nature boy,
01:15Ric Flair, and the enforcer, my friend, is going to set this town on fire. Side suplex
01:21by Eddie Guerrero. That is indeed the match you thought you would never see. Arn Anderson,
01:25Ric Flair. And as I said earlier, oh, look at this. Oh, man, up over the top rope. Eddie Guerrero,
01:32the cat-like maneuvers, an athlete who has wrestled his way across two continents, started
01:38his career six and a half years ago in Juarez, Mexico. Wow. Good shot, though. Alex Wright came
01:43back after he got that roller pulley off the top. Come back in there now, taking control,
01:48headlock, trying to keep this thing down at a slower pace, but brother, I don't think it's
01:52going to happen. Shoulder tackle takedown by Alex Wright. Eddie Guerrero moves in close,
01:56and vicious, vicious elbow, and it's Eddie Guerrero with the cover, but Alex Wright.
02:01That was a butt bump. That was a butt bump. That wasn't an elbow. That was a butt bump.
02:05He caught him with the lower extremities. It was a good move.
02:09That was a, it was a butt bump with an elbow there, I'll tell you that. Yeah, well, he
02:12throwed everything in there. Wow. Irish grip, and then a reversal by Alex Wright. Alex Wright
02:17with the spinning wheel kick attempt, sets up, swaps Guerrero aside, and then another spin wheel
02:23kick, jump spin wheel kick. Well, you've got to look here, and you've got to figure out which man
02:28will make the mistake, and when he makes a battle mistake, you're going to see the other guy take
02:31the victory. I guarantee you that. They are moving so fast. Uppercut, forearm reversal,
02:37back flip off the top rope, whoa, and a belly-to-belly suplex, and I'll tell you what,
02:43my left knee is hurting from that one. Eddie Guerrero, he needed some time,
02:46I guess. I'll tell you what, in another thing there, we've taken a look at both rings being
02:50used tonight in the wall games. As we know, that big cage hung high in the ceiling here.
02:54Bottom line, when that gut wrench, when they brought him back, it almost popped the back
02:57there of Alex Wright. Sometimes in that situation, to where you make a great move,
03:01you can end up injuring yourself and costing yourself a match. Eddie Guerrero's wife,
03:07Vicky, and I'm sure Shaw and Cheryl, their newborn baby girl, watching from their hometown
03:12in El Paso, Texas. There's Eddie Guerrero. El Paso, I love it. Hello, Texas.
03:19That's Steve McMichael's son.
03:24Mongo, yeah. Alex Wright now. Alex Wright certainly has got an advantage here,
03:28but if you, there you go, take a look at it. Eddie Guerrero,
03:32wraps it, grapevines the leg. Leverage advantage to Guerrero. Alex Wright down.
03:38He's got that neck, though, trying to bridge up. Got to get him down there. There you go.
03:41Whoa, not yet, not yet. Great move by Alex Wright. Alex Wright, monkey flip up and over Eddie Guerrero.
03:53Coming up, you're going to see the American males, another
03:57newly formed tag team here. Look at the back flip off the top rope. Eddie Guerrero, so quick. Caught
04:04himself. He caught him. Yeah, he caught him there. Tried to block it. There he goes into the arms.
04:09Got the arm bar submission. A little bit like the Code Red. I'm sorry,
04:11Eric. A little bit like the Code Red there. Don't have it hooked good enough. Good enough
04:16to keep him down, yeah. That's right. Eddie Guerrero, and you can hear the
04:25chants. Spinning back quaker. He got him in a situation to go back and get it again,
04:34and sometimes that works, and sometimes it don't. Yeah, Eddie Guerrero got a lot of fans here,
04:39a lot of Latin fans watch WCW, Eric, as we know. Absolutely, all over the United States.
04:47Eddie Guerrero looking to me like he's getting a little bit frustrated here,
04:50and it's got to be difficult for Eddie Guerrero.
04:57There it is. It's a Corey special, named after his father. One, two, Alex Wright.
05:03Alex Wright able to roll the right shoulder. What a great move. He got him just in the right
05:08situation. Had the wind knocked out of him. Got him up there high, but I guarantee you that thing
05:13right there will work again if he can get a situation to maybe pound him down just a little
05:18bit more. Just before the break, I was trying to tell you, I was getting word from the truck back
05:22in the locker room area, a tremendous amount of dissension on the part of Hulk Hogan's team. Look
05:27at this. He's got his legs hooked, Eric. Again, that's a Gorey special. It's a submission hold
05:32named after his father. Trying to put Alex out. Alex again with the leverage advantage. He'll
05:39make the reversal. Alex Wright. Alex is a little bit different here. He's got a back suplex with
05:46a back bridge. What a matchup right here on WCW. Got him hooked in there. Hulk man going out over
05:56the top rope. I'll tell you what, Guerrero hit them steps too. He hit the steps hard and he is holding
06:03his left knee, Eddie Guerrero, down. Not the way he wanted to debut here. This certainly gives Alex
06:11Wright an advantage. Referee making, this is it. Eddie Guerrero appears to be going to lose on a
06:15count out and not a great way for Eddie. Oh, wait a minute. Alex Wright stopped the count. Yeah, man,
06:22I'll tell you what, he knew what happened there. They both made a mistake and the injury is to Eddie
06:27Guerrero right there on that knee. That's a bad injury, my friend. See, Alex Wright is saying,
06:32hey, no, his knee is hurt. Alex Wright stops the count and says, no, Chuck, this is unprecedented.
06:40He called it off. He called it off. This is unprecedented. Well, I'll tell you what,
06:44we talked about it before. Two tremendous athletes, two tremendous sportsmen,
06:48and you're seeing what I consider to be unprecedented sportsmanship here at WCW
06:52as Alex Wright is helping up Eddie Guerrero. All right, we've got more action coming your way,
06:59tag team action, that is, right after this.
