00:00Now that Super Brawl is history, and it did make history,
00:04our attention turns to Wednesday night, June the 12th,
00:07live in prime time right here on TBS, The Class of the Champions,
00:11and we're going to tell you all about it and have a lot more for you
00:15all this morning on The Powerhouse.
00:30From the great Northwoods, 269 pounds, Big John!
01:00Mike Field has challenged Big Josh here on The Power Hour this morning.
01:21Welcome, everyone, to TBS.
01:23Jim Ross and Pauline Daniels here with you.
01:26Big Josh.
01:28Bill Alfonso, the referee.
01:30Big Josh, one of the many stars that will be signing autographs
01:34beginning at 6.30 tomorrow night at the Omni.
01:37Mike Field is a snapmare, a try to snapmare.
01:40He's going to get Big Josh off his feet, Paul.
01:42So you mean tomorrow night in Atlanta, Georgia, at the Omni,
01:47fans can come up to Big Josh and say,
01:49hey, let me have your autograph, and he's going to sign for them.
01:52There will be several top stars, including our good friend Rhubarb Jones,
01:57and he's going to be signing autographs.
01:58He's going to be at 6.30 at the Omni in the lobby area tomorrow night.
02:02You can, like, mingle with the stars tomorrow night is what you're saying.
02:05In the Omni, sure it can.
02:05Like, hi, Big Josh, how you doing?
02:07And he looks at you and goes,
02:08Big Josh scooping up Mike Field there.
02:11Ballroom, ballroom.
02:13And here comes the, well, log roll.
02:17Big Josh.
02:18What a spectacular entrance this past Sunday in St. Petersburg at Super Brawl
02:26when he came to the ring with his two pet bears.
02:32Double ax and a blow there by Big Josh.
02:36And the posterior drop.
02:41And a win over by Big Josh.
02:43It's obvious to me that this guy needs a good manager.
02:48Well, do you know any?
02:49Well, I used to be a pretty decent manager, you know.
02:53I mean, look at this.
02:55All the time this guy has spent in World Championship Wrestling,
02:57he hasn't saved enough money to buy himself a decent pair of boots.
03:01Heading into the rope.
03:02James is splitting right here.
03:04Almost loses it, but decides, let's do it right.
03:06Bam!
03:07The big butt drop.
03:09Fans throughout the program,
03:10and we'll be telling you about a big event not only in the Omni tomorrow night in Atlanta,
03:13but also tonight in Augusta, Georgia.
03:19Another impressive victory for Big Josh here on the Power Hour this morning, everyone.
03:22Don't forget, tomorrow night in the Omni.
03:247.30 starting time in the Omni tomorrow night.
03:27Not only will Pauly Dangerously and Missy Hyde have a rematch in arm wrestling,
03:30which we'll talk a little bit more about in the program.
03:33I know you've really been bulking up.
03:34You can barely get in a suit.
03:35It's kind of a Schwarzenegger-type body.
03:37And two men, a guy that kind of talks like Arnold Schwarzenegger, is Nikita Kolov.
03:41And for you fans that saw our Super Brawl pay-per-view last Sunday,
03:44Paul, that was quite a situation between Nikita and Singh.
03:48You see, Singh for the past year has fought for title.
03:51He fought for pride.
03:52But now Singh is going to fight for one thing, and that's vengeance.
03:56Singh has a vendetta against the Russian nightmare Nikita Kolov,
03:59and he should after what Kolov did to him at Super Brawl.
04:02Well, they had quite an altercation, and our colleague Tony Schiavone
04:05almost got right in the middle of that situation, fans.
04:07Well, I wish he would have gotten in the middle.
04:09Why?
04:10No more Schiavone.
04:11More money for me.
04:13Yeah, you're just, you're so much alike.
04:14You know that, fans, let's go to the ring and see Nikita Kolov in action.
04:19From Lithuania, at 124 kilos, the Russian nightmare,
04:24Nikita Kolov!
04:25You notice Nikita Kolov is the only big superstar here
04:39in World Championship Wrestling that doesn't have theme music.
04:43I've noticed that.
04:44I don't, he must not like music at all.
04:46He'll be wrestling Lex Luger,
04:48a man he tried to, he attempted to decapitate this fascinating
04:52at Super Brawl.
04:55He'll be wrestling Lex Luger in the Omni tomorrow night
04:58in a match, fans, that has no disqualification.
05:03And that will be, I mean, a real, real fist fight
05:08in the Omni tomorrow night between Nikita Kolov,
05:11the Russian nightmare, and Luger, the total package.
05:14Yeah, but that's only if the total package
05:16can make it to Atlanta, Georgia tomorrow night,
05:19because from what I understand, he's involved
05:22in a real heated situation tonight in Augusta, Georgia.
05:27Ian West is trying to show some offense here
05:29on Nikita Kolov.
05:31Kolov, with the use of that Russian sickle
05:34and Russian chain, really, I mean,
05:40tried to end the career of Singh, that Super Brawl.
05:44Singh badly lacerated, lost a great deal of blood there.
05:47There it's in the elbow by Nikita Kolov.
05:52You know, a lot like how Mike Tyson just walks down the aisle
05:55with a towel around his neck, doesn't wear the fancy robes
05:59and the glitz and the glitter.
06:01Kolov comes with basic, a chain around his neck,
06:05no theme music, comes in, beats people up,
06:07gets his money, and goes home.
06:09Hope you fans will be with us tonight
06:12for World Championship Wrestling
06:14at our normal 6.05 Eastern Time start.
06:19Diamond Dallas Page's new sensation,
06:23the Diamond Stud will be there.
06:26TN News, and there's the Russian sickle.
06:28KOLOF wants to be the United States heavyweight champion.
06:41He'll get his opportunity in the magnificent Omni
06:43tomorrow night against Lex Luger
06:45with no disqualification.
06:46Tonight in Augusta, Georgia,
06:49the Russian nightmare Nikita Kolov
06:50brings the Russian sickle,
06:52and then tomorrow night going for the U.S. heavyweight championship
06:55in the Omni in Atlanta
06:57against the total package Lex Luger.
07:00Fans still to come,
07:01we'll be telling you about the WCW Brews Cruise
07:04and much more information,
07:06including more about the Omni.
07:08But first, listen to this.
07:09This is the Power Hour on PBS.
07:11Ladies and gentlemen,
07:28the following six-man tag team
07:30will then accept the word fall.
07:31In the ring,
07:32the world six-man tag team champion
07:34for Sunrise Carolina,
07:36the Just Your Dog!
07:38His partner from Nashville, Tennessee,
07:40Ricky Mocha!
07:42And from Atlanta, Georgia,
07:44wildfire Jimmy Rich!
07:47In the ring,
07:48now from the first of Chicago, Illinois,
07:50Tom Burke!
07:51From Woodshall, Ohio, Jeff George,
07:53and from Knoxville to the Z, Joe Cassano!
07:56Welcome back, everyone, this morning to PBS.
07:59Jim Ross and Pauly James be back with you.
08:01Thanks for being with us here today
08:03on the Power Hour.
08:05As we mentioned earlier in the broadcast,
08:07we'll have our first bull drop-in
08:10tonight on World Championship Wrestling
08:12with the American Dream, Dusty Rhodes.
08:15Who's going to get the shovel?
08:16I understand his sidekick will be
08:18Jason Hervey of the Wonder Years.
08:21And tonight, our main event
08:22will be Dustin Rhodes and Ricky Morton here
08:24to take on the one-man gang
08:26and Terrence Taylor of the York Foundation.
08:29Plus, tonight, we'll have a
08:30Clash of Champions report.
08:32J.Y.D.
08:35Nice hip-lock takeover
08:37of Joe Cassano.
08:39J.Y. showing his power.
08:42A succession of hip-causing.
08:45And a drop.
08:46Not a body slam, rather.
08:50I think that J.Y.D.
08:51was wonderful at Super Brawl,
08:53don't you?
08:55I don't recall seeing him
08:56at Super Brawl.
08:57That's exactly why I think
08:58he was wonderful.
09:00He was home.
09:01Which is exactly where
09:02the Junkyard Dog should be
09:03during an event of that magnitude.
09:06Follin' elbow tie-up.
09:08Into the wrist lock
09:09is the Junkyard Dog.
09:11Well, I know he's going to be
09:12at the Army tomorrow night
09:13because he wants to watch
09:14this return arm wrestling event
09:16for once.
09:17Yeah, I'm sure he does want to watch
09:20this return arm wrestling event
09:22because I think the Junkyard Dog
09:24used to date Mr. Hyatt.
09:26I don't think so, Paul.
09:28No?
09:28No.
09:29Well, I think he did.
09:30Well, you're a liar.
09:31That's the whole deal.
09:32I read it on the locker room wall
09:34and I'm sure he wants to say
09:35goodbye to her.
09:36The men's room or the women's room?
09:37The men's room, thank you very much.
09:40And this one's history.
09:40The women's room for the match
09:42to Junkyard Dog, Ricky Barney Wildfire.
09:45Come here, Rick.
09:47Again, we want to remind all the great fans
09:49in the Atlanta area that the Omni event
09:51with World Championship Wrestling
09:52is tomorrow night.
09:547.30 is the starting time.
09:55Great seats are still available
09:56and will be on sale all day tomorrow
09:58at the Omni box-off with Paul Lee
10:00and Missy's rematch in arm wrestling.
10:02Now, the Steiner Brothers,
10:03whom we're going to see in just a few moments, Paul,
10:05successfully defended their World Tag Team titles
10:07as we know at Super Brawl.
10:09But they have a team by the name of Hase and Chono
10:12from Japan that wants the Steiners
10:14at the Clash of Champions.
10:15Well, everybody's already seen the fight
10:17between Hase and Sasaki and the Steiner Brothers.
10:20Well, after they couldn't beat the Steiners,
10:21the Steiners said,
10:22okay, we've gotten over this team.
10:24But Hase, the torture expert,
10:26looked further.
10:27He found himself Masahiro Chono,
10:29a real-life torture expert
10:31who can take people apart with his bare hands.
10:34And from what I understand,
10:35they won a title shot at the Clash of the Champions.
10:38We'll keep our eye on that situation.
10:40Of course, interestingly enough,
10:41Chono was trained by former legend Luthez.
10:44More on that, but now let's see the Steiners in action.
10:48From Detroit, Michigan,
10:49it'll come my way to 569 pounds.
10:53The World Tag Team champion,
10:55Tristan Scott Steiner,
10:56the Steiner Brothers!
10:59Fans, I've got to tell you,
11:00I've been wrestling quite some time now,
11:02and I have never seen a more hard-hitting,
11:06a more extensively competitive matchup
11:08than we saw at the Super Brawl
11:11involving the Steiners, Lex Luger and Singh.
11:15What a hard-hitting,
11:17tremendously offensive contest it was.
11:20It was unfortunate that Nikita Koloff got involved,
11:24but what a matchup,
11:25what a tag-team event.
11:26And tomorrow night in the Omni,
11:28you've got to know the Steiners are sore.
11:30They've got to be sore for this past Sunday.
11:32They're going up against a big team
11:34in the Angel of Death and Dangerous and Spivey
11:37for the World Tag Team Championship
11:39in the Omni tomorrow night right here in Atlanta.
11:42Oh, yeah, I smell upset tomorrow night,
11:44and not because I think that Spivey
11:46and the Angel of Death
11:47are as great a tag team as the Steiner Brothers.
11:49I will concur that the Steiners
11:51are the greatest tag team in the world,
11:53but as you said, they're hurt, they're sore,
11:55they're recovering from last Sunday,
11:57and they're set and they're primed
11:59for an upset tomorrow night
12:01in the Omni in Atlanta.
12:04Snapmare by Scott Steiner
12:06tags in older brother Rick.
12:08And here comes Goofy.
12:11A dog-faced grin on the kick
12:12right under the heart.
12:14And another Snapmare.
12:15Boy, they're great mat wrestlers.
12:17They keep their opponents on the canvas
12:19as much as possible.
12:21Smart wrestling.
12:22You know, after Super Sunday,
12:24I was about to start up
12:25a Steiner Brothers fan club,
12:26the Scarsdale chapter,
12:29but I decided not to do it
12:30because I read in the newspaper yesterday
12:32that the Steiners have said
12:34that they'd love to face
12:35Sting and Luger again
12:36because they don't really consider
12:37the victory beautiful belly-to-belly
12:40as Super Brawl a wholehearted victory.
12:43They consider it tainted
12:44because of Colom,
12:45and they're upset about the way
12:47things happen.
12:47Double arm.
12:48Down on the canvas
12:50and a powerbomb-like maneuver.
12:51Steiner Brothers
12:53against that big team.
12:55Angel of Death
12:56and Dangerous Dan
12:56both weigh over 300 pounds.
12:59The Marnot in the Omni,
13:01730,
13:01and there's the Bulldog
13:02off the top rope.
13:06Steiner Brothers
13:07dominant here this morning
13:09on the powerhouse.
13:11The winners of the match
13:12is Steiner Brothers!
13:13Well, after the most vicious,
13:19high-impact match
13:20I have ever seen them involved in
13:22on Super Sunday, May 19th,
13:24the Steiner Brothers
13:25head tomorrow night in Atlanta
13:26into the Omni
13:28against the Angel of Death
13:29and Dangerous Danny Fivey.
13:31Can they cope with two men
13:33over 16,
13:34over 300 pounds?
13:35Tomorrow night,
13:36I think the Steiner Brothers
13:37lose the belt.
13:38Well, that's an interesting conversation
13:40about the Super Brawl
13:41on the Raw Report tonight
13:43on the Hotline.
13:57From Cincinnati, Ohio,
13:58to 117 pounds,
14:01Brian Bryan!
14:03Brian Bryan in the Omni
14:04tomorrow night,
14:05ladies and gentlemen,
14:06in Atlanta.
14:07He will take on
14:08Nature Boy Rick Flair
14:09for the World Heavyweight Championship.
14:112730 is the bell time
14:14tomorrow night
14:15in the Omni.
14:16And, Paul,
14:16the interesting part
14:17about this matchup
14:18tomorrow night,
14:19it will be a two-out-of-three
14:21fall match.
14:23Brian Bryan
14:24and his former mentor,
14:26Nature Boy Rick Flair,
14:28two-out-of-three fall.
14:30It's been a long time
14:31since the World Title
14:32was contested
14:33in the Omni
14:34with two-out-of-three fall rule,
14:36but it'll be there
14:37tomorrow night.
14:38And this is a very
14:38interesting situation
14:40because can
14:40Fly and Brian
14:41hang with Nature Boy
14:43Rick Flair
14:44for 60 minutes?
14:45Can he go
14:46that length of time?
14:48But the thing is,
14:49Tillman,
14:49admittedly,
14:50with superior
14:51cardiovascular conditioning,
14:52with youth
14:53on his side,
14:55Tillman,
14:55tomorrow night
14:56may be primed
14:57to become
14:57the next heavyweight
14:58champion of the world.
15:00Well,
15:00Flair retained
15:00the championship
15:01this past Sunday
15:02against Katsumi
15:04the Dragon
15:04Fujinami
15:05in a match
15:06with almost 30 minutes
15:08of intense competition.
15:10And it's going
15:11to be interesting
15:12to see
15:12how both men,
15:15not only Flair,
15:15but Tillman as well,
15:17react to the circumstances
15:18tomorrow night,
15:19just seven days
15:20after Super Brawl.
15:22Don't forget
15:22the autograph party
15:23when many of her
15:24favorite stars
15:25begins at 6.30
15:27in the Omni
15:27tomorrow night.
15:28Elbow dropped
15:29by Fly and Brian.
15:31Outstanding athlete.
15:33He is so hungry.
15:35You know,
15:35everybody's been looking
15:36and thinking,
15:37okay,
15:37who's the man
15:38to knock Flair
15:39off the throne?
15:40Is Fujinami,
15:41the legend from Japan,
15:42going to do it?
15:43Who's next?
15:44Is it Singh?
15:45Beautiful maneuver
15:46by Tillman.
15:47Is it Luger?
15:48Could it even be
15:49maybe Arne Anderson
15:50or Barry Windham
15:51breathing down Flair's neck?
15:52But I tell you what,
15:53a lot of people
15:54have overlooked
15:55Fly and Brian.
15:56I have a feeling
15:57tomorrow night
15:57he's going to capitalize
15:58on that in the Omni.
16:00Fly and Brian
16:01in the match of his life
16:03tomorrow night
16:04in the Omni.
16:05Sores off the top rope,
16:06crossbody press,
16:08hooks the leg,
16:09and wins it.
16:09Here we go,
16:10Fly and Brian!
16:13Big,
16:13big time event
16:14in the Omni
16:15tomorrow night.
16:16Ten great matches,
16:17the arm wrestling,
16:18and two out of three falls
16:19for the World Ties.
16:20Can Fly and Brian
16:22defeat his mentor?
16:23Can Rick Flair
16:24be taught a lesson
16:25by his own student?
16:26Tomorrow night
16:27in Atlanta
16:27in the Omni,
16:28Fly and Brian,
16:29nature boy Rick Flair,
16:31two out of three falls

16:33championship
16:33championship of the world.
16:41Sting and Lex Luger
16:42coming up in just a few moments
16:43in tag team action,
16:44everyone.
16:45We just got a look
16:45at Fly and Brian.
16:46Of course,
16:46Paul,
16:47tomorrow night,
16:47Fly and Brian
16:48has his sights set
16:49on the Omni
16:50in Atlanta
16:50because tomorrow night
16:51at 7.30
16:52in the main event,
16:53it will be a two out of three
16:54fall match
16:55for the heavyweight
16:56championship of the world.
16:58Fly and Brian
16:59challenging his former mentor,
17:01nature boy Rick Flair.
17:02You know,
17:02this is like if you ever
17:03went against me.
17:04The teacher,
17:05the student,
17:06you know,
17:06after all I've taught you,
17:07you'd say,
17:07well,
17:08you know,
17:08I'm better than Paulie now
17:09and you try to,
17:10you know,
17:10knock me off my position.
17:12Well,
17:12you see,
17:12Fly and Brian thinks
17:13he has what it takes
17:14to teach the master,
17:16to teach the heavyweight
17:17champion of the world,
17:18nature boy Rick Flair,
17:19what it's all about.
17:20He has a two out of three
17:21fall match tomorrow night
17:22in Atlanta's Omni
17:23against Flair
17:24for the heavyweight
17:25championship of the world.
17:27Would you be humble enough
17:28to consider that
17:28the main event
17:29and not your return match
17:30in arm wrestling
17:30with Missy Hyde?
17:31No doubt about it,
17:32nature boy Rick Flair
17:33is always the main event
17:34and me,
17:35I'm just the semi-main.
17:36Ladies and gentlemen,
17:37let's go to the ring
17:38and see Sting and Lex Luger
17:39with tag team action.
17:40First up in his big
17:42California,
17:43250 pounds,
17:45Sting and his partner
17:48from Chicago
17:48and 281,000
17:51to the package,
17:52Lex Luger.
17:54Both these men
17:55on the big event
17:55in the Omni
17:56tomorrow night,
17:567.30 starting time.
17:58Lex Luger,
17:59Nikita Koloff,
18:00no disqualification.
18:01Sting will be joining
18:02forces with L.
18:04He got it
18:04in an elimination tag match.
18:07And this is not
18:08going to be any pushover
18:09for Sting and Luger
18:10in this tag team event.
18:12They want a team
18:13one more time.
18:14They really enjoyed
18:16teaming together
18:16this past Sunday
18:18at Super Brawl,
18:19but their individual
18:21careers are so demanding.
18:23I don't think
18:24we're going to see
18:24these two guys
18:25in that many more
18:26tag team situations.
18:28It's really going to be
18:28a treat to watch this one
18:29here on TBS
18:30and the Power Hour.
18:33Hey, they're not
18:33stepping in the ring
18:34with any pushovers
18:35here either.
18:37I mean, Mark Kyle
18:38and Hacksaw Higgins,
18:39these are two big,
18:40mean, rugged athletes.
18:42Luger and Sting
18:43have a fight
18:43on their hands
18:44this morning.
18:46Lex Luger,
18:47United States
18:47heavyweight champion
18:48and number one contender
18:50for the World
18:53Heavyweight Championship.
18:54We're going to be
18:55talking about
18:56a situation
18:57that Luger will be
18:58involved in
18:59at the Classic Champions
19:01a little bit later
19:02in the broadcast.
19:02I think you're going
19:03to be very excited
19:04to hear that news.
19:11You notice
19:12the thickness today
19:14of Sting paint
19:15on his face,
19:16how he's trying
19:17to cover up
19:18the stitches
19:18from last Sunday
19:20and he was really
19:21badly lacerated
19:23at the hands
19:23of Nikita Koloff.
19:26Good slam there
19:26by Lex Luger.
19:27I don't know
19:28if Sting's at 100%.
19:29Notice Luger's
19:30been in the match
19:31the whole time
19:32so far.
19:34He's picking up
19:35a little bit
19:35of the slack.
19:36Standing vertical
19:37suplex
19:38by the United States
19:40heavyweight champion.
19:43Mark Kyle
19:44certainly wants
19:46to tag
19:46Hacksaw Higgins
19:47who was somewhat
19:48reluctant
19:49and here comes
19:51the Stinger.
19:52Well, let's find out
19:53how he's doing now.
19:55I don't see
19:56how this guy
19:57could be at 100%.
19:58Not even his
19:58recruits.
19:59The cooperative powers
20:00are that great.
20:03That's all Higgins
20:04trying to show
20:06some offense here.
20:09Trying a
20:09some sort of
20:11big splash
20:12in the corner.
20:17Sting's fighting
20:17back, however.
20:21Indeed,
20:21somewhere down the line,
20:22he and Nikita Koloff
20:23must settle their score.
20:25There's a Stinger splash
20:27on the giant
20:28Hacksaw Higgins.
20:29And he's going
20:31for the Scorpion.
20:32Scorpion Deathloss
20:34turns him over.
20:36Turns up the seam
20:38and he's got it.
20:38And the record
20:39is a nice seam
20:40and it's on
20:40a backhand
20:41Lex Luger.

24:15Let's go back
24:15to June 13th, 1990,
24:18when Lex Luger
24:19and Prime took on Sid Vicious.
24:21And here's the result

24:32The bell has sounded.
24:33Luger knocking down
24:34Ole Anderson.
24:35A right-hand staggered
24:36big Sid Vicious.
24:37It's Vicious from behind,
24:40but that move
24:40doesn't take Luger
24:41off his feet.
24:43Vicious trying to
24:44rake the eyes
24:45of the total package.
24:49Luger
24:50with a close line.

27:42Ladies and gentlemen,
27:43don't forget tomorrow night,

27:48and see the Great Muta
27:49and Sting.
27:51This has been
27:52a tremendous battle.
27:53Both men now are down.
27:56Sting and the Great Muta,
27:59over 65,000 fans on hand
28:01here in the Tokyo Dome.
28:04Both these men
28:05have developed
28:06just a magnificent rivalry,
28:09and this match
28:10has certainly taken its toll
28:11on both competitors.
28:15Muta sending Sting in
28:17for the rise, Sting block
28:18it right there.
28:20Trying to go
28:20for a backslide.
28:22He may have Muta

28:23One, two,
28:24and Muta kicked out.
28:26Two counts.
28:31Both these men
28:32in top ten standing.
28:34Hey, there's an inside cradle.
28:35He may have him
28:36and Sting kicked out.
28:38Of course,
28:38Muta has his sights
28:40set somewhere
28:41down the line
28:42on the Heavyweight
28:43Championship of the World,
28:44currently held
28:45by Nature Boy,
28:46Ric Flair.
28:47Sting trying to go

28:50And a leg lace there,
28:52trying to turn him over.
28:57He has got it now.

29:02And Muta near the rope,
29:05and referee Tiger Hattori
29:07calling for the break,
29:08and Sting gives him
29:09a clean break.
29:10This match has a tremendous
29:14significance on the
29:16international ranking
29:18for the WCW
29:20World Heavyweight Championship.
29:22Muta ran to the security railing.
29:27Sting takes him back
29:28in the ring.
29:34Very evenly fought contest here.
29:38Muta sends him
29:38for the ride.
29:40Here comes the scorpion.
29:41Oh, he sprayed him
29:42right in the eye.
29:43The Sting's flash
29:45was not executed.
29:47Sting sprayed in the eyes
29:48by Muta.
29:49Please!
29:50That controversial victory
29:52over Sting made Muta
29:53the number one contender
29:55internationally
29:55for the World Heavyweight Championship.
29:58Lex Luger is the number one contender
29:59in the United States.
30:01Those two men
30:02negotiating to meet
30:03at the Clash of Champions,
30:04Paul.
30:04I'll tell you what,
30:05if I ever wanted to become
30:06a manager again,
30:07not that I want to,
30:08this would be the guy
30:09that I would want to sign.
30:11The Great Muta
30:12will defeat Lex Luger
30:13at the Clash of the Champions
30:14and go on for a shot
30:16at the heavyweight title.
30:17Here's another look
30:18at The Great Muta in action.
30:19The Great Muta in action.
30:49Ladies and gentlemen,
31:08first from Charlotte,
31:09West Carolina,
31:10241 pounds.
31:12He's the WCW World Heavyweight Champion.
31:15He's the name
31:16of the National Football Army.
31:17The National Football Army
31:19should be an impressive matchup
31:24at the Clash
31:25between Lex Luger
31:26and The Great Muta.
31:28The winner to wrestle
31:28for the heavyweight championship
31:30of the world
31:31on the July 14th
31:33pay-per-view
31:36in Baltimore.
31:38Of course,
31:38the Great American Bash
31:39coming this summer.
31:43Nature Boy,
31:44Rick Flair,
31:44however has a magnificent challenge tomorrow night in atlanta's omni in a two out of three
31:51fall event for the world's heavyweight championship against his former people flying brian pillman
31:58and of course if flying brian defeat flair for the title tomorrow night it sets off a whole
32:05chain event event they have to change the match at the clash of the champions then the winner of
32:11luger versus luda will face pillman if he can keep the belt at the green american band on july 14th
32:17so instead of a whole chain of events tomorrow night in the omni if pillman can defeat flair for
32:22the title nature boy rick flair and johnny rich and rich is a very impressive competitor as well
32:27nature boy rick flair successfully defending his championship against a man many consider the
32:37greatest wrestler ever from japan tatsumi the dragon fujidami this past sunday in st petersburg
32:42nice shoulder block by the nature boy but it's countered by a drop coho by johnny rich and johnny
32:49rich is no pushover he's set up now he's going for a figure four johnny rich using flair's figure four
32:56and flair very quickly goes into the rope and we have a break there called by referee randy anderson
33:10flair oh that kicks very deeply into the abdomen and johnny rich thrown outside very aggressively
33:16by nature boy rick flair rich has been a better part of the last year in europe and he's been very
33:22very successful and now he comes back to the state challenges nature boy rick flair but he's going to be
33:27totaled by the heavyweight champion of the world
33:36there with some very heavy hands there rolling back in the ring he doesn't want to be counted out
33:43boy it will be physically physically intense i should say tomorrow night in the omni but
33:52let us not forget that tremendous event tonight in augusta georgia at the civic center begins at eight
33:58o'clock tonight in augusta all-star cards and great seats are still available tremendous shot by flair
34:08and then he works on the leg
34:12no doubt flair will attempt to not only use those thunderous chops on fly and brian in the army
34:17tomorrow night but he'll also i'm sure attempt to set fly and brian up for the figure four leg lock
34:25and flair weakening johnny rich
34:27and of course the object in weakening johnny rich is to bring that defensive shield down that every
34:43wrestler has and to set him up to work on the leg and then use the figure four leg lock johnny rich now
34:51showing his competitive spirit hammering away at the world heavyweight champion flair though so resilient
34:58he has an incredibly high threshold of pain but he has also been punished in this one
35:07he has great resiliency as we mentioned however and flair is the first one to his feet and that could spell
35:13defeat for johnny rich
35:16flair standing vertical suplex this is perfection the nature boy
35:26now school may be in session as he says now we go to school the master of the figure four has it locked
35:34in johnny rich must give it up or suffer a broken leg
35:43rich has submitted
35:48big weekend here on world championship wrestling tonight 6.05 eastern and tomorrow night at 6.05 eastern
35:56the heavyweight champion of the world nature boy rick flair picks up johnny rich let's
36:01him think about it before he drives him into the mat then setting him up with a figure four leg lock
36:08and tomorrow night in atlanta in the omni he goes against his pupil fly and brian and a two out of three
36:14falls and counter fans will talk about that and much more behind the scenes events in wcw tonight
