06:54Rick
06:57Hair
06:59What a clean break
07:01What about the scorpion death throw?
07:03Claire has to be aware of that
07:05Claire, oh, oh, what a chop
07:08You can hear
07:10Our cameras taking you right in there
07:13You gotta thank people around the country
07:15Are flinching, and Sting walks right across
07:17He's walking tall, Claire to the corner
07:19The Stinger has got him out
07:21And his legs are solid underneath
07:23The military press and The Stinger
07:25Evidently, he's not thinking about that game
07:27He's certainly not favoring it.
07:28High hip lock, takeover by Sting.
07:30Great drop kick, right on the button on Flair.
07:32Didn't debut to the top 10 until 88.
07:36Late in the decade, that Flair has dominated.
07:38And that big chop.
07:40Sting is not even blinking from those blows.
07:45Flair, hip lock, right on the ramp.
07:49Sting, toes lines and back inside the ring.
07:52And the world's heavyweight champion already in trouble.
07:56Well, the thing about it is,
07:58Sting has never beat Flair in a championship match.
08:02That's the difference.
08:03Flair, great suplex.
08:04He thinks he has the advantage.
08:06And Sting is up quickly.
08:07Sting up so quickly.
08:08Nails him with toes lines.
08:10A pair of toes lines.
08:11And now the Stinger, going upstairs.
08:13He's gonna test the knee early.
08:15He's upstairs, he's up on top.
08:17High cross body.
08:19One, two, and a half.
08:22It's now Flair, spinning toe hold.
08:25He's gonna set for the figure four.
08:27He tried to get that figure four.
08:28Locked him on that knee.
08:32Well, the blow like that, you're not gonna break the rule.
08:35Sting now fighting back.
08:36The Stinger, with right hands and lefts.
08:38It kicks to the in section.
08:39Flair now in trouble.
08:41The Stinger, that great explosiveness that we remember.
08:43High, hip lock, taking Flair over.
08:45But he went for the drop kick, but nobody there.
08:48Flair, the vector, stepped out of the way.
08:50And now, will he go for the figure four?
08:53No, he's gonna work on the leg, though.
08:55Great tall man, right across that bottom rope.
08:58Am I gonna be on one leg for the rest of the match?
09:03Flair has been on his sixth title reign
09:06since May 7th of 89, when he beat Ricky Steenvoogt
09:10at Wrestle War in Nashville.
09:14Flair now pulling Sting outside.
09:16Got that leg again, that left leg, and that knee.
09:19Taking it outside.
09:20Big chop, my God, what a chop.
09:23Sting's chest is a beatin' rail.
09:26There he goes to the railing.
09:27Back first, and he steps right back.
09:30He steps right back.
09:31Man to man, we're gonna go here.
09:35The look on a champion's face tells a story.
09:40Flair says, wait a minute.
09:47And Sting now, on top, it's Miss City.
09:51One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
09:57Slapped him in the face, slams him in the chest.
10:00Look at Sting.
10:01Sting's just trying to reach down.
10:04He's trying to block out any pain.
10:07And Flair hits him so hard, he wants some more.
10:10He says, hit me again, and hit me again.
10:12And the champion is doing it, and look at his chest.
10:17The blood vessels have been broken.
10:19His chest is discolored.
10:21And Flair is giving it all he's got.
10:23With a knee hold up, let's see.
10:26It held up, amazingly enough, it did not buckle.
10:30As he held him up to there,
10:31even after all the punishment he'd taken on that leg,
10:34he was able to press him.
10:35242 pounds, and slam him in the face.
10:38One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
10:43Sting now, the right hand, the challenger.
10:46So the champion upside down, down the aisle,
10:49and Sting's hose lines him from the apron.
10:53Irish whip.
10:55Sting now, because it's Stinger's plan,
10:57and he got him with it.
10:58He got him with a Stinger's plan.
11:01Oh my God, they're standing now in anticipation.
11:05Will we see the Scorpion Deathlock?
11:08Yeah, no, what's he gonna do?
11:10Delegante, only Anderson wanted to come down.
11:13He's got him in the Scorpion.
11:15He's got him in the Scorpion.
11:17How much longer can Flair have time to Horstman?
11:23And there are the dudes with attitudes.
11:25There's a fight on the rampway.
11:27But Flair, trying to crawl to the ropes.
11:30Ric Flair doing all he can not to submit.
11:34The dudes with attitudes said they were gonna
11:36keep it one on one, and they are.
11:40The Horstman gave it a try, but they couldn't make it.
11:42But how much longer can Flair hold on?
11:45He's in the ropes, but the damage may be done.
11:48Side headlock by Flair.
11:50Head scissor by Sting.
11:52Stinger bridge up.
11:53Look at the strength of the challenger.
11:57He's got both arms tucked.
11:59Can he get him over?
12:02Flair on his shoulders.
12:03One, two, oh, and we were inches.
12:07We're talking inches from a new champion of the world.
12:11Look at Flair talking with all he's got.
12:13And the challenger is standing tall.
12:18Flair, the Irish whip.
12:20Sting went for the knee.
12:22He went for the knee, and Flair moved out of the way.
12:25Jimmy hit on that bad knee, right on that turnbuckle.
12:29Here comes Flair, going for the figure four.
12:31Sting got him, inside cradle, can he free up?
12:34Yeah!

13:36Big force, oh my, tremendous force.
13:39High impact blows by Big Ben Vader on the Stinger,
13:43already taking their toll
13:45on the heavyweight champion of the world.
13:47Vader's backed him into the corner.
13:48The referee's gotta break this thing up.
13:50Well, I'll tell you what, Sting made a mistake
13:52allowing himself to get back in that corner.
13:55He needs to hit, he needs to move.
13:57He needs to try to tire Vader out.
13:59Sting has gotta stay away from the corner.
14:01Irish whip, move the whole ring.
14:03But Sting quickly moves out of the way.
14:04Oh yeah, a suplex, it shook the ring,
14:07it shook the Raptors, a co-sign.
14:10Sting now, with momentum, takes Vader all the way over.
14:16The world's champion, showing just what he's made of.
14:20Oh man, this is a mistake.
14:22Lock it up.
14:23Big mistake by the champion, look at that.
14:26He thumped him in the eye.
14:27And he hit him in the right hand,
14:28and another right, and another right.
14:31Vader is wobbly, Sting stomped on that foot.
14:33It caught him, oh my!
14:35What a right hand, a drop kick.
14:37Vader goes down again.
14:39Can he suplex him in there?
14:40He's gonna try.
14:42Yes sir!
14:44What power by the champion.
14:46Vader backs him again into the corner.
14:48Sting does not wanna be here.
14:51Sting has no choice where he wants to be at this point.
14:55Vicious headbutts.

17:53Savage!

18:02On this Father's Day, Great American Bash, spectacular.
18:07Big Ben's for his father.
18:15Oh!
18:21Flair, getting some distance now.
18:26Oh, my!
18:27All eyes of WCW, the wrestling world,
18:31hear the big boys play on this match.
18:33Everyone watching, head first.
18:37Savage snapping again.
18:39He's got a choke hold on.
18:43Left hand.
18:44Right of the hand.
18:45Rocking ahead of the nature boy.
18:47Right hand, Flair goes down!
18:49Savage, relentless.
18:51Oh!
18:53He nailed Flair!
18:55Relentless!
18:58Stalking Flair, there he goes!
19:02But Savage, like a man possessed,
19:05has gone straight ahead.
19:06That's right, gone straight ahead,
19:07and has beaten Ric Flair up here.
19:10Flair, over the top to the floor.
19:12That's in his qualification.
19:13This is nuts.
19:17Ric, Ric, don't make things worse!
19:21Don't make things worse, Ric!
19:25All right, Flair, look at Savage again.
19:27Savage grabbing Flair!
19:31Kicking at Ric Flair with his good leg.
19:33This is incredible!
19:35It's like the man's fighting for his life!
19:39Fighting, laying on his front side.
19:42Now on his knees, still punching away!
19:44You know, I've known Randy Savage
19:45since he was a young boy,
19:46because I've known his father for quite a number of years.
19:48I've never seen him in all his wrestling battles
19:51when he played baseball or anything,
19:53where he was more sponsored than he is right now.
19:57And you know, on this Father's Day,
19:58as our millions of fans and fathers
20:01have been important to their lives,
20:03watch, it just shows you how important family is,
20:06and how important your father can be to your life,
20:08and what it means to the Macho Man Randy Savage.
20:11Or how much your father can get you in trouble.
20:13And if the old man would have sat on his keystone to sleep,
20:16it wouldn't have happened.
20:18He's got him.
20:20Look at the tears coming out of the eyes of Angelo Poffo.
20:24Angelo Poffo standing, encouraging the legend.
20:27Well, he's leaning, he's not really standing.
20:32Flair using the ropes.
20:35That's okay, Ric.
20:36Do whatever you have to.
20:38They're fighting the Poffo family, and they're nuts.
20:42He is back to the attack, focusing on Savage.
20:45Uh-oh, Angelo Poffo's about to Randy move.
20:53But Flair's still coming at him.
20:54You gotta give him credit for that.
20:57Savage absorbing it, next to him.
20:59Look at this, he hits him,
21:01and it's like it spurs him on.
21:03Look at Savage's eyes, look at this, look at his eyes.
21:05When he hits Savage, it spurs him on.
21:06Yes, yes, the man is inhuman.
21:13Upside down goes Flair, he's up top.
21:17Savage got him.
21:18Got him, got him.
21:19Flair may be out.
21:20One, two, Flair got out on two.
21:24And just kept on rolling.
21:26Savage going for the big one.
21:30Look at that elevation, look at the elevation.
21:32Two, he pulled him out.
21:33No, no, no, no, not enough.
21:37He had it.
21:39Flair's lucky to be on his feet.
21:40Flair don't know where he is.
21:41Savage again.
21:46He may have broken his jaw on that one, Hank,
21:48as he hit his face.
21:51Well, he's not getting up now.
21:53Unless Flair picks him up.
21:55Lots of credit.
21:56And Flair, she's in the moment now.
21:59There's nobody dirtier.
22:01But Savage is one heartbeat away
22:02from being just as dirty, believe me.
22:05Fans, you are watching the most emotionally charged match
22:07I have ever called in my career.
22:09Maybe in the history of this sport.
22:11So much emotion in both men here.
22:15And it is really just pouring out of each one.
22:20Flair's acting like Savage did something to his dad.
22:23Yes.
22:24And of course, no title on the line here.
22:27That's not the issue here.
22:28Nothing at stake.
22:30Just a great, great match.
22:35Stalking Popo now.
22:38Popo.
22:39Oh.
22:40Oh.
22:42Popo's got him.
22:47Flair's got Flair in.
22:49Cane him.
22:50Cane him.
22:52Savage has got Flair.
22:53Oh, no.
22:55He's checking on his father to see if he's all right.
22:59Popo, great man in the competitor himself.
23:02Flair's got the cane.
23:03Oh, no.
23:05Well, goodness, no.
23:06Banner up.
23:08Oh, no.
23:10He's got to win the chop for that one.
23:14He hit that ball.
23:16Out of the pot.
23:17One, two, three.
23:18Game over.
23:20He wins the game over.
23:21And there he is playing.
23:23Mitchell Grove wins this round.

25:50and the all-time legend, former
25:55heavyweight champion of the world,
25:59Macho Man,
26:01Randy Savage.
26:09He is going through counseling
26:12to try to hold back his aggression,
26:15and he and Rick Flair will go tomorrow.
26:18Mongo and Kevin Green.
26:21Yeah, they will go on WCW Monday Night Show,
26:24and we'll be live tomorrow.
26:26The Macho Man is back.
26:28What has he got these guys ready for?
26:30Trying to wrestle Arn Anderson
26:32is a bad situation to get in
26:34when you're Mongo McMichael right here.
26:36Arn Anderson, the enforcer,
26:38full-on dragon twist on Mongo McMichael
26:40and Steve McMichael,
26:42an all-American at the University of Texas.
26:44Well, you talk about rattlesnakes.
26:46There's two of them there that'll bite you.
26:48I'm talking about Arn Anderson
26:50and the Nature Boy, Rick Flair.
26:53Kevin Green really making an appearance right here.
26:55Arn Anderson, I tell you,
26:57Flair's a pretty for you.
26:59Yeah, you get...
27:01I mean, you know, this thing here,
27:03you had to go about it as Crane's dog,
27:05I'm telling you.
27:07Anderson sending Steve McMichael in.
27:09The foot to the face,
27:11it caught Anderson off guard.
27:13That was a good move.
27:15Big, flat shoulder tackle.
27:17There you go.
27:19Steve McMichael and Arn Anderson
27:21Flair is in, he flares out.
27:23Well, Arn Anderson, the enforcer,
27:25is not gonna let Flair
27:27in a situation there
27:29where Flair has to put himself in jeopardy,
27:31if you know what I'm talking about.
27:33You see what they got?
27:35Nature Boy come in and do some devious stuff to him.
27:37Macho man watching,
27:39anxiously anticipating
27:41whatever game plan he had for him.
27:43Well,
27:45how about once you get him?
27:47Here he comes.
27:50That's what they got to do.
27:52They cannot wrestle these guys.
27:54That's what they got to do.
27:56Exactly.
27:58Well, that's the first lick thrown
28:00by him in a long time.
28:02How about it? And I'm sure that felt good.
28:04Kevin Green,
28:06free agent this year,
28:08signed with the Carolina Panthers.
28:10Time to go to work.
28:12Absolutely.
28:1412 years in the NFL with the Rams,
28:16of course, last year making it to the Super Bowl.
28:19There you go.
28:21That's crazy.
28:23That's what he got to be doing there.
28:25You can't stand around and be looking
28:27for the blip to be flying over
28:29and throwing shots at the city.
28:31This is what it's all about right now.
28:33Don't lock up with him, brother.
28:35Take him off his feet, Kevin.
28:37That's right. Hit and run.
28:39Ric Flair.
28:41Many times in this arena
28:43he has thrown his stuff
28:45and he's doing it once again.
28:49He was willing to get in when Green was there
28:51but stayed away from Steve McMichael, didn't he?
28:53See, Kevin came in with a little more
28:55energy about what he wanted to do.
28:57Marco McMichael's been around wrestling
28:59long enough where he can try to wrestle him for a while.
29:01Fans here in Baltimore
29:03with the new franchise, of course,
29:05that they got from Cleveland.
29:07Get him down. Don't lock up with him.
29:09Flair doesn't want to go to three-pound stance.
29:11But you don't want to dip your head either
29:13because when you do, Flair will kick you
29:15top to head.
29:17And Flair right to the head
29:19of Kevin Green.
29:21Oddly enough, Green
29:23played in the same city that Ric Flair's hometown.
29:25South North Carolina.
29:27Shoved him off. Explode on him.
29:29That's what they gotta do.
29:31Get him too.
29:33Kevin Green has come to play.
29:35Yeah, that's the thing right there.
29:37Why he doing some walking?
29:41The great American Bash.
29:43I tell you what, fans.
29:46This is the best one yet.
29:48Macho! Macho!
29:50Flair should have known
29:52the macho man's gonna get his blows in.
29:56And tomorrow night,
29:58reinstatement on Nitro
30:00live at 8 o'clock Eastern Time.
30:02We'll get Flair all alone.
30:04Right now, just bring him back to Kevin Green.
30:06Yeah, don't lock up with him, Kevin.
30:08Wearing the colors of the Panthers.
30:10Green.
30:12There you go.
30:14Give me a three-point stance now.
30:16Blow him out of here.
30:18There you go.
30:20Tag your partner. Get your win now.
30:22Kevin using the fundamentals that have made him a great.
30:24That's what they had to do.
30:26I tell you what, as long as you can stay
30:28away from them when you're able to attack them.
30:30But, on the other hand, too,
30:32it's not a one-sided deal
30:34to make your boy Ric Flair and Iron Anderson.
30:36They gotta get him in a wrestling mode.
30:38That ain't gonna work.
30:40Flair gets knocked down twice.
30:43He won him in the corner.
30:45That's what he wanted.
30:47Boy, is Flair a master or what?
30:49Some say the greatest champion of all time.
30:51I've been in there with him.
30:53I know right there he stopped him now.
30:55Back in the corner.
30:57Hello, Texas.
30:59It sure is good to see you again.
31:01Hit me again, he says.
31:03Come on, homeboy.
31:05Flair to the jaw.
31:07And Mongo is getting every bit of it.
31:09Yes!
31:12Who beat me?
31:14Steve McMichael chopping Flair
31:16to the tops of his own.
31:18And a beel!
31:20How about it?
31:22Well, you don't learn a beel on the front line
31:24of the NFL.
31:26No, but I imagine he wanted to use it a few times out there.
31:28I'm sure he did.
31:30Sends him in.
31:32There you go.
31:34Get in your stance now.
31:36Going up top.
31:38Mongo caught him.
31:40Now, get in your stance.
31:42Get in your stance now.
31:44Exactly, go with it.
31:46Let's pretend he's John Elway now.
31:48You want to sack him.
31:50Get in your stance.
31:52How about you pretend he's Troy Aikman
31:54and really go at it?
31:56Be careful where you tread.
31:58Hey!
32:00He's putting a finger and fire on him!
32:02What about it?
32:04Can you believe it?
32:06Kevin Green!
32:09I can't believe it.
32:11I lost my voice.
32:13Kevin Green's finger and fire
32:15on Anderson.
32:17Woman to the eyes of Mongo.
32:19And Debra and Tara,
32:21the wives of John with the ladies.
32:23Oh, my goodness.
32:25We've got fights everywhere.
32:27Oh, man.
32:29And poor old Pepe along with the ride.
32:31Yeah, and him girl.
32:3391 and 76 were leaving.
32:35The wives are leaving.
32:37And the ladies are chasing them away.
32:39Look, there goes Debra and Tara.
32:41They're running away.
32:43Woman Elizabeth chasing them away.
32:45I had no idea what's going to happen here.
32:47You've got to get your second win,
32:49the third win.
32:51Can you believe that he
32:53kicked Mongo Mad Michael?
32:57Heenan shoving.
33:01That is Macho Man shoving.
33:03Heenan, watch out!
33:07Bobby Heenan got the cheap shot in, didn't he?
33:09And you knew he would.
33:11Once again, that just pumps him up.
33:16How about this choke?
33:18Yeah, he's choking him with both hands here.
33:20Well,
33:22in some circles, that's called a low blow.
33:24In other circles, that's called an equalizer.
33:26The fight's over.
33:28You know what I mean?
33:30I think the fight is over right now.
33:34Mongo looking to make a tag.
33:37Can he do it?
33:39Anderson to his feet.
33:41He got him.
33:43Kevin Green.
33:45How about it?
33:47He is using what's made him
33:49a superstar.
33:51He just choked him down.
33:55Kevin Green after Flair.
33:57Yeah, he don't want to lock up with him.
33:59Go ahead and keep powering him over.
34:01Back body drop.
34:03Get ready.
34:06It really is.
34:08Power slam.
34:10Nicely executed.
34:12But you're right, no cover.
34:14And there's the inexperience right there.
34:16Yeah, you admire your work,
34:18and it comes back to haunt you.
34:20It's happened more than once tonight.
34:22Not here where the big boys play.
34:24You can't stop and admire your work.
34:26Power slam goes in.
34:28Big Foot Mongo!
34:30That's a good one.
34:32We'll see how long he can stand it.
34:34We've got the macho man,
34:36Martin Anderson,
34:38and we've got Tristan Waugh hitting the ring.
34:40Tristan Waugh is moving down there now.
34:42Tristan Waugh from behind.
34:44He's nailed.
34:46They are dealing on it, too.
34:48Oh, man.
34:50They are fighting.
34:52They are going at it.
34:54They got the macho man down.
34:56Kevin Green still in a situation out there.
34:58What is this right here?
35:00I have no idea.
35:03He doesn't have the bear's coat on.
35:05What's in the case?
35:07What is going on here?
35:09I have no idea.
35:11Mongo, what is going on here?
35:13Give me a break on this.
35:15What's he saying here?
35:17Meanwhile,
35:19the figure four is still on here.
35:21What are they doing here?
35:23That's a four horseman shirt.
35:25And it's money.
35:27It's a lot of money.
35:29Oh, give me a break,
35:31Use your head here.
35:33That was a $100.
35:35Kevin Green in the middle of the ring
35:37with a lot of pain.
35:39Just turn it over.
35:41He's looking for a tag.
35:43Kevin Green looking for a tag.
35:45Mongo, drop it.
35:47Mongo!
35:49He hit Kevin Green.
35:51What the hell is going on here?
35:53Kevin Green is out.
35:55One, two, three.
35:58Unbelievable.
36:00What the hell happened here?
36:02That's unbelievable.
36:04I can't believe it.
36:06Led by their head coach,
36:08the Nature Boy, Rick Flair,
36:10the Enforcer, Arne Anderson.
36:12But Steve McMichael
36:14going after the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
36:16Look at this.
36:18And Kevin Green is still out.
36:20Arne Anderson.
36:22Rick Flair
36:24stomping the Macho Man.
36:27Steve McMichael's got the case full of money.
36:29It's loaded with money.
36:31And a horseman's shirt.
36:33And there are four of them in the ring.
36:35Don't tell me
36:37what is going on here.
36:39Heenan calling the shots.
36:41Oh, the haliburton to the head.
36:45Ladies and gentlemen,
36:47we have seen a startling,
36:49shocking development here.
36:51That's unbelievable.
36:53Unbelievable.
36:55The only thing I can say is,
36:57from what I see,
36:59apparently Steve McMichael
37:01with the money
37:03is the fourth horseman.
37:05And there's
37:07Debra McMichaels.
37:09There they are, fans.
37:11Take a look at it.
37:13Money talks.
37:15Money talks.
37:17Man, I tell you,
37:19we need to take a hard-cold look
37:21at what really makes it all worthwhile.
37:24Can you believe this?
37:26They have sold their soul
37:28for the money.
37:38The former heavyweight
37:40champion of the world,
37:42Randy
37:44Macho Man
37:46Seven!
37:54A woman who knows
37:56and is known
37:58to all wrestling fans.
38:00Her beauty is seen
38:02on the pages of Playboy.
38:04Ladies and gentlemen,
38:06here is the sensational
38:08Kimberly!
38:10And guess what?
38:12Hello!
38:14Yes, guess who's here?
38:16Don't stare at the beauty
38:18too long because someone will get you
38:20from behind.
38:22And the Anything Goes
38:24lights out. Savage, page two
38:26is on!
38:28Savage was watching the beauty.
38:30Now he's got the beast in the ring with him.
38:32He went for the diamond!
38:34He went for the diamond cutter right there.
38:36Remember, Anything Goes,
38:38non-sanctioned.
38:40Look at that move right there.
38:42DDP.
38:44Because he just lost it.
38:46He saw Savage.
38:48All he wants to do is get his hands on the man.
38:51He wants to beat him up.
38:53He wants to take him out.
38:55And that's what happens
38:57in a big time main event.
38:59There you go.
39:01There you go.
39:03That's what needs to be done.
39:05Women out the way that do this thing.
39:07And once again,
39:09back in the ring,
39:11DDP
39:1377!
39:15He's ready for this.
39:17This is a big match for him.
39:20I'll tell you, he's a tough man.
39:22He never asked for help from anybody.
39:24He was going to take the whole NWO on
39:26by himself.
39:28Let's not forget, six days ago,
39:30as he tried to attack the Macho Man
39:32exiting the limousine at the Fleet Center
39:34in Boston, that
39:36Elizabeth slammed him in the door.
39:38Yes, slammed him with the door.
39:40With the door and the door on his ribs
39:42and therefore the injury
39:44that has been aggravated here tonight
39:46but that has not stopped DDP
39:48He said, pin falls can't anywhere
39:50and here we go, into the gallery.
39:52Up, down!
39:54Now is he going to take him back to the ring
39:56or is he going to pull him outside and beat him?
39:58He can go anywhere. Pin falls can't
40:00anywhere.
40:02Through the door.
40:04I don't know what he's
40:06going to do here.
40:08He's got a crutch.
40:10He's got somebody's crutch
40:12and he's waiting on Savage.
40:14Yeah, this oughta
40:17Yep, you're not kidding.
40:19Oh, man!
40:21Let me show you to your seat, sir.
40:23Yeah, welcome back to the arena.
40:25Oh, I'm telling you what, that was bad enough
40:27when he was coming into a
40:29gawking arena
40:31outside like that
40:33and him waiting on you and rag-tagging you right here.
40:35He knows the importance
40:37of this situation here with the Macho Man
40:39Oh boy, head first
40:41to the risers that
40:43hold the chairs on the far side there
40:45What's this?
40:47Well, if anything goes, it's either sugar
40:49or salt or powder or something
40:51Liar, you lie.
40:53And the lady brought it.
40:57Oh, man!
40:59Oh, man!
41:01Blinding DDP
41:03and now
41:05I don't know what that was, but it broke
41:07over here on DDP.
41:09I'm going to tell you what, when you get in so much pain
41:11like you are now and Medusa was in it
41:14Well, if anything goes, you know what I mean?
41:16And he's in W.O.
41:18And the referee had to understand
41:20this situation when he come in here
41:22and he signed on for this.
41:24He's going to power drive the referee!
41:26Yes, he is.
41:28Oh, my goodness!
41:30For referee Mickey J, this is his home.
41:32Yeah, we're going to need another one.
41:34Welcome home, the Quad Cities, and he is out
41:36and we're going to need a stretcher for a referee
41:38for crying out loud.
41:40But DDP sees this opportunity
41:43and he's going to fight back.
41:45Oh, boy!
41:47We got Saluma coming down the aisle right here.
41:49I can see it, guys.
41:51Could be another referee.
41:53Looks like it.
41:55It's Mark Kurtz.
41:57Mark, this is not a good place for a referee to be.
41:59No.
42:01Mark just found out he was in the wrong spot.
42:03What are we doing here?
42:05Mark Kurtz is out.
42:07Oh, boy, it's hard to hit his shoulder first
42:09outside.
42:11Oh, boy, just the type of match we asked for.
42:13Yes!
42:15Second win and the fans are up.
42:17Get into the corner.
42:19Use your head and don't make a mistake.
42:21I'm just getting ready to say it.
42:23Boy, he ran right into it.
42:25Boy, when you start an offense,
42:27you've got to have some type of plan,
42:29a follow-up plan.
42:31He ran in that wall like that
42:33and that's what happened.
42:35This is incredible, but as I was saying,
42:37just the type of match we asked for.
42:40Who's going to be able to count out a winner?
42:42Kimberly better get out of the way.
42:44Get out of the way.
42:46He was too close.
42:48Oh, man, I'm going to tell you what.
42:50That is a low life right there.
42:52That's all I can say.
42:54Well, we've got another referee here now.
42:56It's Nick Patrick.
42:58Now Nick Patrick, former member
43:00of the NWL,
43:02although he's been really doing well lately.
43:04Well, it looks like he's decided
43:06to give it back, guys.
43:08Forget her, Savage.
43:10He's got to get back in the ring.
43:12He's got to get his hands on Diamond Dallas.
43:14Did you see his eyes when he turned around his mats?
43:16He just snapped.
43:18And I'll tell you, remember this,
43:20Diamond Dallas still has the capability
43:22to put the diamond cutter on you.
43:24You know what happened there?
43:26Nick Patrick had some great thinking that time.
43:28He didn't try to physically get involved
43:30or try to browbeat him.
43:33Well, they're right back here now.
43:35That was great work by Nick Patrick that time.
43:37And here they go.
43:39Where in the world are they going to go?
43:41Nick Patrick will now, I guess,
43:43be the referee assigned.
43:45Well, that's a nice little picnic area
43:47that some of the dignitaries
43:49are in.
43:51Oh!
43:53One of our VIP areas here.
43:55And they were handing themselves
43:57a Great American Bash party.
43:59Boy, you're not kidding.
44:02This is the Great American Bash,
44:04and I hope you enjoy the hors d'oeuvre.
44:06Man!
44:08Oh!
44:10Get that barbecue pit!
44:12Behind you is a barbecue pit!
44:14Whack him with the rubber!
44:16Oh!
44:18Man!
44:20Well, he's a raggedy man.
44:22That's what he needed to do
44:24to get him off them ribs.
44:26How about a picnic like this?
44:28Oh!
44:30Yeah, he's got plenty of stuff up there now.
44:32Well, there you go.
44:34He's found the weather.
44:36Thank goodness.
44:38Oh!
44:40Thank goodness they didn't light the charcoal.
44:42Oh, my goodness.
44:52Oh!
44:56What else are we going to see?
44:59He destroyed the VIP section,
45:01and now...
45:03He's bringing it back this way, I think.
45:05And Gusby bad rinsing on.
45:07There's still a lot in this man right here.
45:09That's the bottom line.
45:11He knows where he is in his career
45:13and what he hasn't accomplished
45:15against great odds.
45:17He's going to go up for his big elbow.
45:19That's the sign for it.
45:23Come on, Joe, man.
45:25He's got it!
45:27Yes!
45:29Yes!
45:31As you guys brought up,
45:33there's no one in the county match.
45:35Much less, there's no cover yet.
45:37I mean, look at that ring.
45:39There's probably some glass.
45:41There's furniture, there's structures.
45:43And there's bodies all around the ring,
45:45and there's someone making their way
45:47in Scott Hall of the NWO.
45:49Here's the count, guys.
45:51One.
45:53Oh, my goodness!
45:55was making the count, he stomped him in the back of the head, and didn't even see what happened!
46:00Duck Sunder, fired on him right there, belt went up in the air!
46:03Get on him baby, you gotta fight him out!
46:05Picks him up!
46:07Atomic Drop!
46:09And a haymaker!
46:11Oh, he's going for it again!
46:13Go for the diamond, come on!
46:15And the world tag team title belt nails the back of his head!
46:17Above and beyond the call of duty for Nick Patrick.
46:21For all referees,
46:23the big elbow,
46:25he's got three to count, and now,
46:27look at this now, Scott Hall moving him over that direction!
46:29One foul!
46:31Oh man!
46:33Whoa!
46:43The master of madness,
46:45he is,
46:47structural man,
46:49Randy
46:51Sarris!
46:53Ladies and gentlemen,
46:55from professional wrestling known as the man of his word,
46:57the man of honor,
46:59he is,
47:01Rowdy
47:03Roddy
47:05Piper!
47:07The best
47:09there ever will be,
47:11Rep Hitman
47:13Hall!
47:15The reigning
47:17WCW, NWO
47:19heavyweight
47:21champion of the world,
47:23Hollywood
47:25Hulk
47:27Hogan!
47:35Piper calls time out,
47:37enough to divert the attention
47:39of Hogan to grab a hold.
47:41Oh, and that distraction worked!
47:47To the ice!
47:49Little shades of curly!
47:51And Savage,
47:53and Piper right now,
47:55it's second nature to him,
47:57if you're a great wrestler,
47:59the disciple nailing,
48:01was that with the world title belt?
48:03Sure it was.
48:05Savage, down on the floor,
48:07is wielding a chair,
48:09he's gonna come into your screen in just a moment.
48:11He can only take so much,
48:13you know the way his mind is,
48:15you can't make it up.
48:17There it is!
48:19Oh!
48:21It's madness time
48:23in the inner harbor area.
48:25And I don't know
48:27if anybody's gonna be able to hold him back.
48:31He takes them both on,
48:33and takes them both down.
48:37Savage,
48:39a one-man destruct unit.
48:43But, too many men in the ring, guys.
48:45And that stopped that
48:47madness momentum.
48:51Hogan, now!
48:55Leveled Bret Hart!
48:59Piper,
49:01Savage, throws Hogan and Hart together!
49:05Scoops him down!
49:07Savage is going up into the rafters.
49:09Hogan sends Piper in.
49:11Oh!
49:13Oh, his knee!
49:15It just went out on him, Tony!
49:17His knee gave out as he went up top!
49:19Well, he's been wearing that leg brace
49:21for quite some time on that knee.
49:23He's been advised to have it looked at surgery
49:25or something, but it's been damaged.
49:27He went up top, I think obviously
49:29for his top rope elbow,
49:31his primary weapon,
49:33and he couldn't execute it.
49:35And I think,
49:37as Piper gets gouged on the outside,
49:39I think he's going to try it again.
49:41But is there too much pain?
49:43Where did the Disciple go into town here
49:45with Piper outside?
49:47Oh, no!
49:49Oh, no!
49:51Piper tried to pull him,
49:53was trying to get up again,
49:55and Hogan,
49:57Hogan's a master at this, guys.
49:59Disciple just went face-first into the spear,
50:01now Piper's on fire!
50:03Bret Hart, there's Randy Savage
50:05in the center of the ring!
50:07He's got him hooked!
50:09On the injured knee!
50:11He can't take anymore.
50:13Or can he?
50:15That's it.
50:17He gave up.
50:19He's got to be in more pain than he's ever gone through in his life.
50:21But look at this.
50:23Bret Hart's still not letting go.
50:25What motivates a man to be like this?
50:27Greed, money,
50:29ego, power.
50:31Yeah!
50:33Piper comes in
50:35to send Hart away.
50:37In the final analysis,
50:39one elbow away from a victory,
50:41I think, for Savage and Piper.
50:49Representing the NWO,
50:51Wolfpack, and accompanied to the ring
50:53by Kurt Hennig and Ravishing Recruit!
50:55He's from
50:57Mexico City,
50:59WOLFPACK!
51:09His opponent,
51:11from Cochabon,
51:13with an undefeated record
51:15of 99-0,
51:17he's the
51:19WCW United States
51:21Heavyweight Champion,
51:23WOLFPACK!
51:29They're standing.
51:31That sign is anticipating
51:33what could be
51:35a milestone victory
51:37for the United States Heavyweight Champion,
51:39as Dave Pencer mentioned,
51:4199-0 going into this matchup.
51:45They're all standing.
51:47There's not a foot on a chair in this place.
51:51And they're chanting his name.
51:53Let's listen in.
51:59WALKERS!
52:01WALKERS!
52:05WALKERS!
52:11WALKERS!
52:15WALKERS!
52:23And he makes that
52:25what has now become a very famous
52:27Davis, walked to the ring.
52:34And walks within the fire and actually breathed the fire on his way to the ring.
52:40I'm gonna let you in on a very special note.
52:44We wonder sometimes what motivates athletes to perform to make it their best.
52:50We understand that Goldberg's mom was able to shoot free today after breaking her hip.
52:56Don't want to say a lovely song, but it's incorporated right now.
53:00Wish her the best. Maybe this one's for mom.
53:04And if that's the case, this could be a cakewalk.
53:08I told him earlier, I said, a woman of her age can't take that jackknife so quick.
53:12You just can't do that to her, Goldberg.
53:15That's what she asked for.
53:17That's just what Goldberg needs. More motivation.
53:20Good luck, Conan.
53:21Good luck, Conan.
53:24As the chain of Goldberg rings out here in the Baltimore Arena.
53:31And they haven't stopped.
53:36Conan took the match for an injured court.
53:39Hennigan, Reuter, ringside.
53:41Trying to keep the unblemished mark and to make it all the way up to the century mark.
53:47And remember this, the NWO will do anything.
53:48And they will do anything.
53:50Because they want to be the ones to say, we did it.
53:53We knocked off Goldberg.
53:55We kept him from going 100-0.
53:57What is that?
53:59Trying to regroup already after the opening 15 seconds of this matchup.
54:04As Conan goes out to the floor.
54:08You should see the cameras flashing.
54:10Everybody wants a shot of that man right there.
54:12He's taking this sport by storm.
54:15A man impervious to pain.
54:18A man who can literally do anything he wants in the ring.
54:22Anything.
54:24Any hold.
54:26We've seen it all from Goldberg.
54:29A headlock he can't get out of.
54:31Tried to shoot him off into the ropes.
54:33Tries to use those open hand palm thrusts.
54:35Well, finally back to the hammerlock.
54:40Goldberg that time literally trying to drive Conan out of the ring.
54:44Conan to the mat.
54:46Tried to roll through into the ankle lock.
54:48Conan fortunate for him close to the ropes.
54:52Look at the face.
54:54The eyes, the demeanor of Goldberg.
54:56It's scary.
54:58It's intimidating just looking across at him.
55:01Now Conan.
55:05Conan getting down to one knee.
55:07Do what you have to with a man like Goldberg.
55:09Goldberg holding his ground.
55:12Randy was reckless abandon.
55:14Boy is he epic.
55:16Steel him.
55:23Running permetary with Hennig on the floor.
55:29Well, that's for K-Dog.
55:35Into the trademark.
55:37This one's for you, Hennig.
55:39He said 100.
55:41He said 100.
55:42One, two, 100.
55:45Only wrestler I've ever heard of in my life.
55:48In my career that has gone 100 matches without a defeat.
55:53And holds claim to the United States Championship of the World.
55:57There he is.
55:58A phenomenon of professional wrestling today.
56:00The Millennium Man.
56:02The Man, Goldberg.
56:04That's triple digits.
56:06A milestone.
56:08100 and 0.
56:10Look at all your triple doubles and your hat tricks.
56:12Look at that.
56:15You know, one of the most amazing things about Goldberg is
56:18in the course of wrestling
56:20there are athletes
56:22that people will boo
56:24and some people will cheer.
56:26That sometimes
56:28it's split down the middle
56:30or 60-40 one way.
56:32For Goldberg
56:33to a man, to a woman, to a child
56:35100 percent
56:37everyone is behind Goldberg.
56:40I have never seen anything like it
56:42in my life.
56:45And a man, before he comes in the building
56:47they're chanting Goldberg.
56:49As he leaves the building
56:50disappears, goes into the back
56:52for the next 5-10 minutes
56:53they'll still chant.
56:54Look at this.
56:56Conan helped out.
56:58Oh!
56:59Conan!
57:00Blasted by Kurt Hennig.
57:02Wait a minute.
57:03This must be Wolf Pack for life.
57:05Well, I think they're mad
57:07because Conan didn't do the job right.
57:09Conan didn't beat the man.
57:10Conan came in
57:12with a handshake in agreement.
57:15This is incredible.
57:18And the group
57:20gets physically involved as well.
57:23And look at this.
57:25He pulled off the red-black.
57:27Goldberg and Big Kevin Nash
57:29the giant killers
57:31in Big Sexy.
57:33Kurt Hennig
57:35had the white
57:37and the black
57:38shirt on underneath.
57:40Look at that.
57:41He did.
57:43There's a lot of trouble
57:44here right now.
57:46Well fans,
57:47that's all for now.
