>> [MUSIC] >> EVERYBODY THAT’S BEEN PUT IN FRONT OF ME, I’VE DESTROYED. >> [MUSIC] >> WE COME TO YOU FROM THE MILE-HIGH CITY. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MONDAY NITRO IS OFF AND RUNNING FOR THREE HOURS LIVE ON TNT. WELCOME TO DENVER COLORADO. IT’S ANOTHER TRIP FOR NITRO AND FOR WCW IN DENVER AND TONIGHT DURING THE COURSE OF THE THREE-HOUR TELECAST, THE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP WILL BE ON THE LINE, THE GIANT AND SCOTT HALL OF NWO BLACK AND WHITE, THE TAG TEAM CHAMPS WILL DEFEND AGAINST THE MEMBERS OF NWO WOLFPAC RED AND BLACK, STING AND “THE TOTAL PACKAGE” LEX LUGER. BUT WE’RE NOT GONNA STOP FROM THERE AS CURT HENNIG OF NWO BLACK AND WHITE AGAINST KONNAN OF THE WOLFPAC, AND CHRIS JERICHO WILL DEFEND THE CRUISERWEIGHT BELT AGAINST REY MYSTERIO, JR. AND HI, EVERYBODY, TONY SCHIAVONE, “THE PROFESSOR” MIKE TENAY, AND WE’RE JOINED HERE IN THIS FIRST HOUR BY BOBBY “THE BRAIN” HEENAN. AND WE’LL TALK ABOUT ALL OF THAT IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS. BUT LET’S ENJOY THE NITRO GIRLS TO KICK OFF WCW MONDAY NITRO. AND I’LL TELL YOU GUYS, WHAT A WEEK IT’S BEEN IN PRO WRESTLING, YOU SAW AT THE TOP OF THE PROGRAM THE FULL-COURT PRESS, THE ATTACK BY THE NWO BLACK AND WHITE ON GOLDBERG THE WORLD CHAMP. HE’S UNDAUNTED THOUGH. HE MAY HAVE GONE DOWN TO THAT CHOKESLAM BUT, MIKE TENAY, HE IS STILL THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> NO QUESTION ABOUT IT, TONY. WORLD’S HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION AS WELL AS STILL UNDEFEATED GOLDBERG. >> BOBBY “THE BRAIN” HEENAN, THIS YEAR, AND LET ME EXPLAIN WHY, BRAIN, OF COURSE, ACTUALLY JOINS US FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THIS PROGRAM, BUT WHEN WE GOT TO THE ARENA TODAY, “THE LIVING LEGEND” LARRY ZBYSZKO WAS CALLED INTO A MEETING BY TNT TIME WARNER EXECUTIVES. THAT MEETING IS STILL GOING ON. WE HOPE TO GET THE LIVING LEGEND OUT HERE IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS. AND BRAIN, WE DON’T KNOW WHAT THIS MEETING IS ABOUT BUT I WOULD VENTURE TO GUESS THAT IT’S ABOUT THIS TEXAS GAG ORDER PUT ON HIM BY NWO HOLLYWOOD AND NAMELY, DUSTY RHODES, LAST WEEK. >> WELL, I WAS IN THE BACK ABOUT TWO HOURS AGO AND I SAW SO MANY SUITS AND TIES GO IN THERE, IT LOOKS LIKE A BROOKS BROTHERS CONVENTION AND YOU CAN HEAR ZBYSZKO YELLING IN THE ROOM, YOU CAN HEAR HIS VOICE OVER EVERYBODY. FIFTEEN MINUTES BEFORE AIRTIME, THEY TELL ME TO COME OUT HERE, TAKE HIS SPOT, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON BACK THERE. BUT IT’S GOT SOMETHING TO DO WITH DUSTY RHODES I BET. >> I WANNA INTRODUCE ONE OF THE PARTICIPANTS TO THIS JAM-PACKED HOUSE HERE IN DENVER FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S ROAD WILD IN STURGIS, SOUTH DAKOTA, PLEASE WELCOME DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE. >> [MUSIC] >> I THINK IT’S SAFE TO SAY THAT WHAT WENT DOWN ON THE TONIGHT SHOW ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT HAS BEEN HEARD ALL ACROSS THE WORLD. JAY LENO, KEVIN EUBANKS, THEY ALL PUT THEIR HANDS TOGETHER AND HE SAID, YES, I’M GONNA LET DDP TRAIN ME.” AND IN FIVE DAYS, JAY LENO, HOST OF THE TONIGHT SHOW IS GONNA GET IN THE RING. >> HE’S NEVER BEEN IN THE RING BEFORE. >> EVER. >> WELL, HISTORY IS GONNA BE MADE THIS SATURDAY NIGHT, LENO’S WRESTLING DEBUT. >> WELL, I’LL TELL YOU, HE BETTER BE VERY CAREFUL. WHEN THEY’RE DONE WITH HIM, HE’LL BE WATCHING MIKE DOUGLAS’ SHOW FROM JACK PAAR’S HOUSE. >> OR PROBABLY FROM MERV GRIFFIN’S HOUSE, WHO KNOWS? THANK YOU, BOBBY HEENAN. GENTLEMEN, THE SCENE IS SET FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT IN THE BLACK HILLS, WE’RE ALL GONNA BE RIDING TO STURGIS, SOUTH DAKOTA INCLUDING JAY LENO AND THIS MAN DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE. I DON’T THINK YOU HAD TO TALK TOO HARD TO HIM TO GET HIM TO JOIN YOU TO MEET HOLLYWOOD HOGAN AND, YES, NONE OTHER THAN ERIC BISCHOFF HIMSELF. >> WELL, JAY, I KNOW YOU’RE READY AND IT’S NOT LIKE, GENE-O, I HAD TO TALK JAY INTO IT. WELL, THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS LIKE. >> DID YOU TWIST HIS ARM? >> WELL, WHEN YOU GOT A GUY LIKE SLEAZY E WHO STOLE HIS SET, STOLE HIS JOKES, AND THEN RAN HIM OFF HIS SET, IT WASN’T THAT HARD. NOW THE REASON WHY I CAN PUT A GUY LIKE JAY LENO IN THIS SITUATION IS BECAUSE THERE AIN’T GONNA BE MUCH LEFT OF HOLLYWOOD SCUM HOGAN. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> WELL NOW, THERE HAS GOT TO BE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF APPREHENSION GETTING INTO THE RING WITH A MAN LIKE JAY LENO, OF COURSE HE’S ONE OF THE GREATS IN SHOW–PROBABLY ONE OF THE GREATEST IN SHOW BUSINESS TODAY, BUT GETTING IN HERE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT STORY. >> LIKE I SAID, THERE AIN’T GONNA BE MUCH LEFT OF THE SCUM HOGAN. SLEAZY E ON THE OTHER HAND, I’VE KNOWN YOU A LONG TIME, KARATE BOY, AND I AIN’T LEAVING YOU WITH MUCH EITHER BECAUSE THERE’S… >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> LIKE I SAID, SLEAZY E, THERE’S NOBODY IN THIS COUNTRY WHO DOESN’T WANNA SEE JAY LENO SMACK YOU AROUND LIKE A LITTLE GIRL. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> AND I JUST GOT BACK FROM L.A. WHERE I TRAINED HIM EVERY DAY. I’M GOING BACK TOMORROW. BE WATCHING THE TONIGHT SHOW BECAUSE YOU’LL SEE HIM TRAINING. THIS GUY’S GOT SOME HEART AND HE’S READY. AT STURGIS, SLEAZY E, HOLLYWOOD SCUM HOGAN, YOU WILL FEEL THE… >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> WELL, TONY, BOBBY, MIKE TENAY, I’D HAVE TO SAY THAT THIS MAN, DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE, MAYBE HE TALKED JAY LENO INTO SOMETHING, WELL, WE’RE GONNA HAVE TO FIND OUT THIS SATURDAY IN STURGIS. BACK TO YOU, GENTLEMEN. >> WELL, HE SAID THAT HE HAS HEART, JAY LENO AND THAT’S WHAT DDP SAID. OF COURSE, DDP HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE MAN WHO EXEMPLIFIES HEART AND DETERMINATION, AND I REALLY THINK, YEAH, HE MAY HAVE GOT HIMSELF INTO SOMETHING PRETTY STICKY BUT I THINK HE’S GOT A GREAT, GREAT PARTNER IN ONE DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE, GUYS. >> BUT DOES LENO THINK LIKE EAZY E THINKS? DOES HE THINK LIKE HOLLYWOOD THINKS? NO, NOT AT ALL. LENO COULD BE WATCHING THE TONIGHT SHOW MONDAY NIGHT FROM A HOSPITAL BED WATCHING ERIC BISCHOFF HOST THE TONIGHT SHOW. >> YEAH, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? A SITUATION THAT BEGAN AS A WAR OF WORDS WITH ERIC BISCHOFF’S MOCKERY OF THE TONIGHT SHOW IS GONNA ESCALATE INTO A PHYSICAL MATCHUP THIS SATURDAY NIGHT, AND JIMMY HART HAS THE MIC. >> …TO TAKE A QUOTE FROM YOU, “IF YOU WANT SOME, COME AND GET SOME.” >> WHAT’S HE DOING, CALLING OUT DDP? >> WELL, THE BARBARIAN’S SCHEDULED WITH A MATCH HERE. DDP GOT HALFWAY UP THE AISLE WAY THERE AMONGST THE FANS. HE PUT THE BRAKES ON. YOU DON’T HAVE TO CALL HIM OUT TWICE. >> [INDISTINCT] >> HE’LL NEVER BACK DOWN FROM A CHALLENGE. >> [MUSIC] >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE, YOU’RE RIGHT, WILL NEVER BACK DOWN FROM A CHALLENGE. AND HERE HE COMES. AND AS HE TAKES THE T-SHIRT OFF, DO YOU NOTICE SOMETHING GUYS? >> NO TAPE ON THE RIBS. >> NO TAPE ON THE RIBS, NO–AND YOU KNOW THAT HE’S NOT FULLY HEALED BUT I KNOW HE’S THE TYPE OF GUY TO SAY, “HECK, WITH IT. THERE’S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT. I’M JUST GONNA WRESTLE THE WAY I AM.” HE’S GONNA GO IN THERE AGAINST A MAN THE SIZE, THE DEMEANOR, AND THE ABILITY OF THE BARBARIAN. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> AND LISTEN TO THE FANS. >> I’M NOT SURE–TOO SURE THAT THE DIAMOND CUTTER WILL WORK ON THIS MAN. >> WELL, THAT’S A GOOD A POINT BUT, YOU KNOW, WE’VE SEEN IT WORK ON EVERYONE. >> WE’LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS HERE. HE TRIES TO BIEL HIM AND CAUGHT THAT SWINGING NECKBREAKER THERE BY DDP. >> OH, HE HAS SO MUCH IMPROVED IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR. I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT. I KNEW THE DETERMINATION THIS MAN HAD. >> WHOA, HE WENT FOR IT, DIDN’T HE? >> YEAH, HE WENT FOR IT. THAT TIME, THE BARBARIAN SHRUGGED HIM OFF AS JIMMY HART HAS GOT THE REFEREE’S ATTENTION, A LOW BLOW, AND THAT TURNS THIS MATCH AROUND HERE, THIS IMPROMPTU MATCHUP WHERE JIMMY HART MADE THE CHALLENGE, DDP ACCEPTED. HE JUST EXPECTED TO TALK ABOUT JAY LENO AND THE BIG MATCH COMING UP IN A MERE FIVE DAYS, A NIGHT THAT IS REALLY STAR-STUDDED. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT FROM THE ENTERTAINMENT WORLD WITH JAY LENO. KEVIN EUBANKS SAID–BANDLEADER’S GONNA BE THERE AT THE RINGSIDE WITH HIM. TRAVIS TRITT, COUNTRY MUSIC SUPERSTAR IN CONCERT, AND THE GREATEST STARS FROM WCW AND NWO, ALL AT ROAD WILD. >> KEVIN EUBANKS, DID HE USE TO DO DATING GAME OR THE NEWLYWED? >> IT WAS BOB EUBANKS. >> OH. >> KEVIN [INDISTINCT] >> EXCUSE ME. >> NO RELATION. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> BACK INTO THE CORNER NOW, DDP. >> OH. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> BARBARIAN PUT THE BRAKES ON HIM. THE BARBARIAN, I’LL TELL YOU, A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN HE KEEP THINGS–WENT TO THE BOOT, DOWN TO THE MAT, THAT IN EFFECT IS LOADING THE BOOT WITH SOME SORT OF ILLEGAL OBJECT. I’M NOT SO SURE IF THAT’S CASE BUT I DO KNOW THAT HE HAS ONE OF THE MOST FEARED KICKS IN OUR SPORT. THE MAN KNOWS HOW TO KICK AND KNOWS HOW HURT YOU AND A HEADBUTT OR TWO IS NOT BAD EITHER. >> AND REGARDLESS OF THAT LOADED BOOT, HE AND JIMMY HART HAVE QUITE A GAME PLAN, EXCELLENT STRATEGY AS THEY WORK OVER THE MIDSECTION, THE RIB CAGE AREA OF DDP, WHICH YOU’RE RIGHT TONY, EVEN THOUGH IT’S NOT TAPED, HE IS DEFINITELY NOT A HUNDRED PERCENT. >> AND THE BARBARIAN IS THE KIND OF A MAN, HE’S THE KIND OF A SAVAGE MAN THAT’S VERY HARD TO HURT. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> HMM. >> HE COULD TAKE A LOT THERE’S NO DENYING THAT. KNIFE-EDGE BACKHAND CHOP, HE’S GONNA DO IT ONE MORE TIME, ROCKS THE HEAD OF DDP BACK. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN AS WE SAID, GOLDBERG, WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, WE’LL TALK MORE ABOUT HIM IN A FEW MOMENTS. HE IS HERE TONIGHT. WE HOPE TO HEAR FROM HIM DURING THE COURSE OF THIS TELECAST. FULL ARMDRAG EQUIPPED BY THE BARBARIAN, TRIED A LARIAT. >> OH. >> DDP KNOCKED HIM DOWN. HOW ABOUT THAT? >> OH, THERE GOES JIMMY. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> HAIL THE REF, HE’S THE ONLY ONE STANDING. >> LONG OVERDUE BUT THAT ATTENTION TURNED TO JIMMY HART CAUSED HIM–IT CAUSED THE BARBARIAN WITH THE FOREARM SHIVER, KNOCKED HIM BACK UP AGAINST THE FAR SIDE ROPES. >> THERE HE GOES WITH THAT BOOT. >> YEAH. YOU’RE NOT KIDDING. HE MISSED IT–OH, BOY, RIGHT BELOW THE RIB CAGE ON THAT ONE. THE BARBARIAN TRIED TO PICK HIM UP–OH, THE SCOOP SLAM… >> STILL FOUGHT IT OFF. >> HE’S JUST TOO BIG. HE’S TOO STRONG. A SECOND ATTEMPT TO THE DIAMOND CUTTER, HERE COMES THE THIRD ATTEMPT. STILL CAN’T–OH, CAN HE GET IT? >> HE LOCKED IT AGAIN. >> OH, HE GOT HIM. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> HOW ABOUT THAT? FOURTH ATTEMPT AND HE PINS HIM WITH IT. >> [BELL RINGING] >> THE DIAMOND CUTTER. >> [MUSIC] >> BARBARIAN JUST FELT THE BANG. >> CALL THE BARBARIAN’S HOME. WE’RE BRINGING HIM HOME IN A WHEELBARROW. >> I KNOW THERE’S MILLIONS OF FANS OUT THERE THAT WOULDN’T MIND SEEING THE DIAMOND CUTTER ABOVE BISCHOFF AND HOGAN, AND THEN LET JAY LENO JUST STOMP THEM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WHEN HIS FACE’S ON THE MAT. >> [MUSIC] >> THIS PORTION OF WCW MONDAY NITRO IS BROUGHT YOU BY VALVOLINE. GET A LIMITED EDITION HOT WHEELS CAR AND ENTER TO WIN A REAL MARK MARTIN RACECAR. CALL 1-800-TEAM-VAL FOR OFFICIAL RULES. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> WELL, TO THE APPROVAL OF THIS SOLD-OUT CROWD HERE TONIGHT, THE LIVING LEGEND HAS RETURNED, LARRY ZBYSZKO. >> WAIT, JUST A MINUTE. I’VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY. DON’T GO AWAY. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> WELL, HE’S BACK. >> HE’S THE ADMIRAL. WE NEED HIM. >> AND HE–THAT RESPONSE IS VERY WELL-DESERVED. NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT. >> BUT HE–LOOK AT–LOOK AT HIS FACE HE–LARRY, PUT THE HEADSET ON, I NEED TO ASK YOU A QUESTION. OBVIOUSLY, THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED TO YOU WHERE YOU MISSED THE OPENING OF THE PROGRAM WITH US. >> THAT WAS FUN. >> THAT HAD TO STAND FROM WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK OUT HERE. >> WELL, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED. YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, DUSTY RHODES WENT OUT OF HIS WAY AND FILED SOME KIND OF A COMPLAINT WITH THE TIME WARNER PEOPLE, SOME KIND OF A STUPID GAG ORDER, AND HE SHOWED THEM VIDEOS EDITED SHOWING ME COMING OFF TO SET. SO TIME WARNER THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO SLAP MY HAND, AND AFTER A VERY WARM MEETING, I POINTED OUT THAT THE ONLY TIME I’VE EVER STEPPED OUT OF MY DUTIES AS AN ANNOUNCER WAS WHEN SOMEONE CAME TO THE SET AND INTERFERED WITH ME DOING MY JOB. SO NOW, WHAT WE’RE GOING TO DO IS MAKE A DEAL WITH TIME WARNER. EVERYTHING WAS WORKING OUT REAL NICE. I POINTED OUT TO THEM THAT I WILL DO MY JOB OR I WILL BE FLYING AROUND THE COUNTRY WITH [INDISTINCT] PUTTING FOR BIRDIES. AND THEIR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO KEEP PEOPLE WHO DO NOT BELONG ON THE SET OFF THE SET. >> YOU’RE HERE. THAT’S LONG-TIME COMMENT. WELL, FANS, LAST WEEK ON THIS PROGRAM, YOU SAW A CHALLENGE ISSUED TO GOLDBERG, THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. IT CAME FROM BRIAN ADAMS. AS WE KNOW GOLDBERG NOT THE ONE TO BACK DOWN AND THE NWO HOLLYWOOD MADE A STATEMENT AS WELL. HERE’S WHAT WENT DOWN LAST WEEK. >> GOLDBERG, YOUR LUCK HAS RUN OUT BECAUSE TONIGHT YOU’RE PUTTING THE TITLE AGAINST ME BRIAN ADAMS. I WANT YOU TO TAKE YOUR BEST HOLD AND I WANT YOU TO HOLD ON AS TIGHT AS YOU CAN BECAUSE I’M GONNA TAKE YOU FOR THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE. AND WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE, I’M GONNA BRING THE WORLD TITLE BACK TO THE NWO. >> THAT’S HIS LOCKER ROOM. I–YOU SAW THE… >> POST SOMEBODY OVER THERE AND JUST POST SOMEBODY AT THE DOOR. >> SOMETHING HAS GONE… >> LOOKS A LITTLE TOO LATE TO POST SOMEBODY AT THE DOOR. >> SOMETHING HAS GONE SEVERELY WRONG HERE. THAT’S GOLDBERG AND IT’S BEEN OVERTURNED, IT’S BEEN RANSACKED AND THERE’S GRAFFITI EVERYWHERE. >> YOU KNOW I’VE BEEN HERE AND I’VE BEEN OBSERVING WHAT HOLLYWOOD HOGAN AND HIS CRONIES ARE TRYING TO DO TO THE WCW FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP. AND WHAT THEY DID TO ME TONIGHT, CROSSES THAT LINE AND WHAT THEY DID BECAME PERSONAL TO ME. AND TONIGHT, I’LL MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF BRIAN ADAMS. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> BECAUSE BRIAN ADAMS, YOU’RE NEXT. >> INTO THE ROPES. HE DOES IT AGAIN. >> THAT’S TWO. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> OH, YEAH, HE’S GONNA GO FOR IT RIGHT NOW. >> HE’S A BIG, POWERFUL MAN TO GET UP IN THE AIR. >> OVER 300 POUNDS. >> HE CAN DO IT. I’LL BET THE MORTGAGE ON HIM. >> OH, CAN HE… >> OH, I WIN AGAIN. >> OKAY. >> YES. >> COUNT HIM OUT. HE WINS AGAIN. >> [BELL RINGING] >> 21-0. 21-0 FOR GOLDBERG, THE MAN. >> 121-0. >> WHAT DID I SAY? >> YOU JUST SAID 21. IT’S 1-2-1. >> I MEAN 100. YOU SEE, HE GETS ME EXCITED. >> WELL… >> 310-0, I DON’T CARE ANYMORE. >> AND AS WE SAID, GOLDBERG IS HERE TONIGHT. WE HOPE TO GET A WORD WITH THE WORLD–UNDEFEATED WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION AS WELL. BUT THE CHALLENGE BY BRIAN ADAMS IS NOT THE ONLY CHALLENGE, DDP WANTED TO GET HOLLYWOOD HOGAN IN THE RING, AND THAT TOUCHED OFF QUITE A BRAWL WITH BOTH SIDES OF THE NWO LAST WEEK. >> SORT OF A PREVIEW AS TO WHAT WE CAN EXPECT UPCOMING THIS SATURDAY NIGHT AT ROAD WILD. >> OKAY. LET’S TAKE YOU BACK TO WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK. DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE AND HOLLYWOOD HOGAN, THEY GOT IT ON. IT WAS A WILD NIGHT ONE WEEK AGO HERE ON MONDAY NITRO. TAKE A LOOK. >> LAST WEEK YOU GOT ME. YOU GOT ME REAL GOOD. YOU BEAT ME DOWN REAL GOOD. BUT YOU DIDN’T KILL ME. YOU COULDN’T KILL ME. BOTTOM LINE IS, YOU SHOULD NEVER HUNT SOMETHING YOU CAN’T KILL. BECAUSE HOGAN, HOGAN–BUT TONIGHT, IF YOU GET IN THIS RING WITH ME, YOU’RE GONNA FEEL THE WRATH AND YOU WILL AT SOME POINT FEEL THE… >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> THIS IS YOU AND ME PAGE. YOU CALLED ME OUT. HOLLYWOOD SADDLED UP BECAUSE I’M READY TO RIDE YOUR BUTT TO THE STRADDLE TONIGHT. SO DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE, YOU GUTTER, TRAILER TRASH PUKE, BRING YOURSELF OUT HERE. YOU’RE WAY OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE. >> TRYING TO GET UP AND HE IS UP. HOGAN–YES. >> HE’S GONNA GET HIM. >> HE GOT HIM. YES. >> DIAMOND CUTTER ON HOLLYWOOD. >> WAIT A MINUTE, HERE’S HENNIG. >> OH, NO. HE HAD HIM. >> [BELL RINGING] >> THE DIAMOND CUTTER WOULD HAVE BEEN IT. >> THE BLACK AND WHITE NWO IS IN THERE NOW. >> THEY’RE IN THERE. YOU’RE RIGHT. >> [BELL RINGING] >> HE HAD HIM TOO. HE HAD HIM, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT RING TOO. >> AND HE–OH, MY. >> GOLDBERG. GOLDBERG IS ON HIS WAY TO THE RING. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> GOLDBERG IS COMING TO THE RING. >> [BELL RINGING] >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> AND GOLDBERG IS GOING AT THEM. >> OH, GOD. >> TO THE SIDE GOES SCOTT. LOOK AT KEVIN NASH, THE STARE OF AMAZEMENT. >> OH. >> AND HE GOES DOWN. >> THE GIANT’S IN. >> THE GIANT’S IN. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> OH. >> HE’S GOT GOLDBERG. >> OH, NO. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> [MUSIC] >> GREAT TO BE BACK IN DENVER, THE BEAUTIFUL LIZ HERE WITH ME. GREAT TO SEE ALL OF YOU HERE TONIGHT. BUT I GOT TO TELL YOU, IT IS REALLY, REALLY HOT HERE IN DENVER. OF COURSE, IT’S HOTTER [INDISTINCT] BECAUSE AS A MATTER OF FACT IT WAS SO HOT IN WASHINGTON, MONICA LEWINSKY’S DRESS HAD STAINS ON IT JUST FROM THE PERSPIRATION. WHERE DO I GET THIS STUFF? IT’S SO FUNNY. YOU KNOW, THEY SAY THEY NEED A DNA SAMPLE. YOU KNOW, GET THIS, I DON’T KNOW IF YOU HEARD THIS OR NOT. PRESIDENT CLINTON SAYS HE DOESN’T MIND GIVING THE SAMPLE AS LONG AS HE GETS TO PICK THE INTERN THAT’S GOING TO COLLECT IT. COME ON, YOU KNOW THAT’S FUNNY. AM I FUNNY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OR WHAT? AND, YOU KNOW, SPEAKING OF MONICA LEWINSKY, JAY LENO IS GONNA KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO BE MONICA LEWINSKY WHEN HE WAKES UP IN A STURGIS HOSPITAL AND THINKS TO HIMSELF, “BOY, I WISH I WOULD’VE KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT.” [INDISTINCT] KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT WITH MONICA LEWINSKY. I’M TOO MUCH. AND KEVIN EUBANKS, HE’S GONNA BE THERE ON A HOSPITAL BED ACROSS TO THE ROOM. HE’S GONNA LOOK OVER TO HIM AND SAY, “HEY, JAY, YOU REALLY BLEW IT.” THIS IS ALL MONICA LEWINSKY THING, YOU KNOW. SHE’S CRACKING ME UP. AND HEY, KEVIN, I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING RIGHT NOW. YOU STICK YOUR NOSE INTO THE RING, GET READY TO LEARN A NEW TUNE. IT’S CALLED, “THE HOLLYWOOD STOMP” AND IT’S GONNA BE IN THE KEY OF, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, B-FLAT, GET IT? BE FLAT? OH, GOD, THIS COMEDY STUFF IS RIGHT AT MY ALLEY. I’M BORN FOR THIS. HEY, AND CAN YOU BELIEVE WHO JAY LENO’S GOT FOR A PARTNER? I MEAN, THE NWO’S FAVORITE PUNCHING BAG, DIAMOND DALLAS, DON’T LAUGH AT MY NEW TURNED PAGE, BANG. HEY, GET THIS, GET THIS. WHEN I WAS FLYING INTO DENVER, I HAD SOME TIME WITH MY HANDS, SO I MADE A LIST OF ALL THE THINGS IN NATURE THAT ARE BIGGER THAN JAY LENO’S HEAD. >> LIZ, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH A LOSER? >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> RUNNING OUT OF TIME. I COULDN’T THINK OF IT. I AM SO — FUNNY. I MEAN, NOW GET THIS, ALL KIDDING ASIDE, ALL KIDDING ASIDE, JAY LENO’S CHIN LOOKS LIKE A NATIONAL TREASURE. ACTUALLY, IT IS A NATIONAL TREASURE. A MATTER OF FACT, THEY’RE GOING TO USE IT AS A GIANT [INDISTINCT] SALT LAKE CITY WITH ROLLERBLADES [INDISTINCT] OH. HEY, DID YOU HEAR THAT THEY HAD TO CLOSE THE PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY IN MALIBU AGAIN? YEAH, ANOTHER HOUSE JUST SLID OFF JAY LENO’S CHIN. OH. AND DO YOU BELIEVE THAT ACTUALLY PAGE IS YELLING AT LENO FOR THIS ABOUT–OH. HEY, WHAT DO MONICA LEWINSKY AND JAY LENO HAVE IN COMMON? THEY BOTH SUCK AT THEIR JOBS. LITTLE DOUBLE AND TIMING THERE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND FINALLY, TRUST ME LENO, WHEN I SEE YOU IN STURGIS, I’M GONNA TEACH YOU THE MEANING OFF PUNCH LINE, GET IT? GIVE IT UP. IS THIS FUN OR WHAT? HEY, WE’VE GOT A REAL GREAT SHOW FOR YOU TONIGHT. HANG ON WITH US. MY SPECIAL GUEST, HOLLYWOOD HOGAN. AM I FUNNY? >> [MUSIC] >> ALL RIGHT. YOU KNOW, THIS IS A PART OF THE SHOW I LOOK FORWARD TO THE MOST BECAUSE IT’S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO BRING OUT TRULY ONE OF THE GREATEST ENTERTAINERS IN THE HISTORY OF OUR SPORT. AND TONIGHT, WE’RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THE INJUSTICE AND LIES THAT TOOK PLACE OVER NBC LAST WEEK. LET’S BRING HIM OUT RIGHT NOW. A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR HOLLYWOOD HOGAN. >> [MUSIC] >> [CROWD CHATTER >> HOLLYWOOD, YOU KNOW, AS WE LOOK AROUND, YOU SEE THAT SIGN OVER THERE, “I WORSHIP THE GROUND HOLLYWOOD HOGAN WALKS ON.” YOU KNOW, THIS ARENA IS FILLED WITH PEOPLE WHO FEEL THE SAME WAY, WHO WERE ALL EXTREMELY UPSET AT THE INJUSTICE THAT TOOK PLACE ON THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH ERIC BISCHOFF LAST WEEK. I MEAN [INDISTINCT] SINCE THE DAY HE STEPPED INTO THE WRESTLING INDUSTRY, THE DAY HE STEPPED INTO THE WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT, TOOK OVER THE TONIGHT SHOW, AND NOT THAT PROPAGANDA THE PAGE IS OUT HERE TRYING TO SELL. >> WELL, YOU KNOW BROTHER, THAT’S GONNA GO DOWN AS THE SHOVE THAT WAS HEARD AROUND THE WORLD. OH, YES, YOU AND I TOGETHER TOOK OVER AND WE DOMINATE PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING WITH BLACK AND WHITE HOLLYWOOD. BUT NOW THAT I HAVE TAKEN OVER THE FILM INDUSTRY, NOW THAT WE’VE TAKEN OVER THE LATE NIGHT TALK SHOW SCENE TOGETHER, WE HAVE CONQUERED ALL AND THAT’S SHOVE WILL GO DOWN AS THE SHOVE THAT WAS HEARD AROUND THE WORLD, AND OUT OF BAD COMES SOMETHING GOOD, OR COULD WE SAY OUT OF GOOD COMES SOMETHING BAD, BECAUSE THE ONE THING THEY’RE NEVER GONNA REMEMBER AFTER ROAD WILD IN STURGIS IS DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE NEVER AGAIN WILL WIN OR GET A VICTORY BY SNEAKING UP BEHIND SOMEBODY AND STAB THEM IN THE BACK. DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE WILL NEVER AGAIN GO HOME AND LIE TO HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE HOW GREAT HE IS. AND NEVER AGAIN WILL DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE HAVE A CHANCE TO ROCK UP VICTORY, AFTER VICTORY, AFTER VICTORY SINCE WE BUSTED HIM UP AT BASH AT THE BEACH AND MADE A LOSER OUT OF HIM. LOSER. WE’RE GONNA BUST HIM UP REAL BAD IN STURGIS AND I FEEL REAL SORRY FOR JAY LENO BECAUSE TIMING IS EVERYTHING, BROTHER. WHEN HOLLYWOOD WALKED ON YOUR SET, WHEN MR. BISCHOFF WALKED ON YOUR SET, THE DIAL ON THE QUARTER HOURS SPUN AROUND THE METER. WE SHOWED NBC WHAT IT’S LIKE TO GET RATINGS AND NOW ALL THOSE SO-CALLED FOLLOWERS OF YOURS THAT WORK FOR YOU, THEY’RE BOWING ON OUR FEET. WHEN WE LEFT THE SET THE OTHER NIGHT, THEY WERE SAYING, “PLEASE, MR. BISCHOFF, PLEASE, MR. HOLLYWOOD, COME BACK AND MAKE OUR LIVES BETTER. WE WANT YOU. WE DON’T WANT LENO, SO WE PUT THE MONEY DOWN ON YOU GUYS. TAKE HIM OUT OF STURGIS.” AND I ACTUALLY FEEL SORRY FOR DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE’S WIFE BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH HE’S UGLY, EVEN THOUGH HE’S BROKEN DOWN, SHE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN A REAL BIG INSURANCE POLICY OUT OF HIM BECAUSE THAT’S THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN CASH IN ON THAT LOSER. >> ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY. ANY WORDS OF ADVICE FOR JAY LENO, ONE KING OF ENTERTAINMENT TO A WOULD-BE KING IN JAY LENO? >> WELL, YOU KNOW, HE’S KIND OF BOXED IN BUT THE ONE WORD OF ADVICE I COULD GIVE FOR MR. JAY LENO IS WHEN THE MASTER OF DISASTER, THE TRUE BLACK BELT IN THE BLACK AND WHITE NWO KICKS THE CHIN OF YOUR FACE, TUCK IT UNDER YOUR ARM LIKE IT’S A FOOTBALL, AND RUN FOR THE NEAREST HOSPITAL, BROTHER, BECAUSE IF YOU’RE SMART, YOU’LL LEAVE DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE FOR THE PICKINGS BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NO MERCY. I’M SICK OF PAGE, I’M REAL SICK OF YOU, LENO, AND I’M ON MY WAY RIGHT BACK TO WHERE I WANNA BE. I SET YOU GUYS UP BIG TIME. WE SHALL SEE YOU AT STURGIS, BROTHERS. >> AND WE’LL BE BACK WITH A LOT MORE RIGHT AFTER THIS, AND I DO MEAN A LOT MORE. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> WE’RE BACK AFTER THAT DOSE OF NWO LATE NIGHT, OR NIGHTCAP, OR WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT, BUT WE’RE GONNA TAKE YOU DOWN A LOOK AT A MAN CONSIDERED A MASTER MANIPULATOR, NO QUESTION, BRET “THE HITMAN” HART IN A SPECIAL LOOK ON NITRO. >> [MUSIC] >> IT’S JUST ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER DOLLAR, ANOTHER WALL, AND ANOTHER COWARD HERE IN THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING COMPANY. YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE GREATEST TECHNICAL WRESTLER IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> AND I GOT A LITTLE BIT OF A PROBLEM BECAUSE I CAN’T SEEM TO GET ANY RESPECT AROUND HERE. BUT I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU ONE THING, THAT LITTLE ALTERCATION THAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK. STING, YOU DON’T NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO ME WITH JUST A LITTLE MISUNDERSTANDING, IT’S ALL FORGIVEN. AND IT WAS YOUR OWN BRASH BEHAVIOR THAT COST YOU YOUR TITLE. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> I SMELL THE MASTER OF MANIPULATION. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> [MUSIC] >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> SO THAT FROM BRET “THE HITMAN” HART AND MIKE, YOU TAGGED HIM RIGHT WELL WHEN YOU SAID “THE MASTER OF MANIPULATION.” ONE THING THAT WE DO KNOW ABOUT BRET HART IS THAT WE DON’T KNOW WHERE HE’S COMING FROM. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? UNITED STATES HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, BRET HART, CONSTANT PATTERN OF INTERFERENCE AS OF LATE AND HE HAS THE GUTS TO SAY THAT HE HAS RESPECT FOR STING. YOU CERTAINLY HAVEN’T SEEN THAT. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> WELL, YOU REALLY CAN’T BELIEVE A WORD HE SAYS. PSYCHOSIS COMES OUT AND THIS NEXT MATCHUP HERE ON WCW MONDAY NITRO, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE GO TO STURGIS THIS COMING SATURDAY FOR ROAD WILD, LIVE AND ON PAY-PER-VIEW, WHEN THE GREATEST WRESTLERS IN THE WORLD WILL GET TOGETHER IN SOME OF THE MOST INTRIGUING, MOST INTERESTING, MOST EXCITING MATCHUPS EVER COMBINED WITH TRAVIS TRITT IN CONCERT THIS COMING SATURDAY. ONE THING I HOPE HAPPENS. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> AND I–THERE’S NO WAY TO PREDICT WHAT’S GONNA HAPPEN WHEN JAY LENO GETS A TAG AND LENO, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, STEPS THROUGH THE ROPES. THE ONE THING I HOPE HAPPENS IS THAT HE WILL SHUT THE MOUTH OF BISCHOFF AND ONCE AND FOR ALL, CLOSE DOWN NWO NIGHTCAP. >> I KNOW EVERYBODY WANTS TO SEE ME DANCE BUT TONIGHT I HAVE A SPECIAL RING INTRODUCTION. THIS MAN IS ONE OF THE HOTTEST YOUNG DANCERS IN WRESTLING TODAY, LIKE MYSELF. THIS MAN IS ONE OF THE BEST TAG TEAM PARTNERS ANYBODY CAN HAVE, LIKE MYSELF. SO HERE HE IS, BABY. >> [MUSIC] >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> I’M SORRY, FANS. EVERYBODY WANTS A MICROPHONE AND I GUESS DISCO INFERNO GETS ONE AS WELL. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> AND HE’S GONNA INTRODUCE I GUESS ALEX–THAT’S NOT ALEX WRIGHT. >> WELL, IT’S ALEX WRIGHT’S MUSIC. THAT’S TOKYO MAGNUM. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> DON’T LOOK AT ME. I DON’T HAVE A CLUE. >> I DON’T EITHER. I WONDER IF DISCO INFERNO EVEN… >> WE KNOW TOKYO MAGNUM HAS CERTAINLY BEEN IDOLIZING ALEX WRIGHT, MOCKING AND [INDISTINCT] EVERY ONE OF HIS DANCE STEPS. AND HE RECENTLY FORMED A TAG TEAM WITH DISCO INFERNO, TAKING THE PLACE OF ALEX WRIGHT ON A RECENT EDITION OF WCW SATURDAY NIGHT, BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO ALEX WRIGHT… >> [BELL RINGING] >> …WHERE IS HE IN THIS PICTURE? >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> I DON’T KNOW BUT PSYCHOSIS GETS THE HEAT GOING IMMEDIATELY AS HE ASSAULTS TOKYO MAGNUM IN THE CORNER. BILLY [INDISTINCT] THE REFEREE. >> DIDN’T CARE TOOK MUCH FOR THE DANCING, AND LOOK AT NORTON. WHAT’S NORTON DOING HERE? >> SCOTT “FLASH” NORTON, ONE OF THE BIGGEST, MOST FEARED MEN ON ANY CONTINENT AROUND THE WORLD OF NWO HOLLYWOOD HAS COME IN… >> [BELL RINGING] >> BILLY [INDISTINCT] IN THIS MATCHUP BUT HE DOESN’T GIVE A DARN ABOUT THAT. I… >> AND LARRY, WE HAVE THE ANSWER FOR YOUR QUESTION. WHAT IS SCOTT NORTON DOING HERE? ANYTHING HE WANTS. >> AND YOU’RE NOT KIDDING. >> WELL, I MEAN, NORTON CAN DO THAT BUT WHY? >> WELL, HE’S GOT A MICROPHONE. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> [INDISTINCT] WHAT GOING ON? >> YOU’RE NOT KIDDING. >> A MIND READER. >> [INDISTINCT] HAVE A MATCH TONIGHT. I’M BEING [INDISTINCT] AND IF ANYBODY, AND I MEAN ANYBODY, FROM THE WCW WANTS A PIECE OF ME, BRING IT ON. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> ONCE AGAIN, TYPICAL NWO TACTICS.

YOU GOT TO BE IN CONTROL. YOU JUST DON’T RUN RIGHT OUT HERE, NOT WITH NORTON. >> AND JIMMY HART JUST SAID, “YOU DON’T WANNA MESSED WITH THE NWO BLACK AND WHITE.” >> [BELL RINGING] >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> HUGH MORRUS DON’T ANSWER THE CALL OF WCW. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> WHAT A POWERBOMB. >> ANOTHER BIG JACKKNIFE POWERBOMB.

HUGH MORRUS DIDN’T LISTEN TO THE MAN. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> DOMINANCE BY SCOTT “FLASH” NORTON, THE MAN, AS WE SAID, FEARED NOT ONLY HERE IN THE UNITED STATES BUT IN JAPAN, ALL AROUND THE WORLD. WELL, LAST WEEK, WE TALKED ABOUT BRET HART. WE SAW A LITTLE GLIMPSE OF BRET HART. YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE HE’S COMING FROM BUT LAST WEEK, BRET HART TOLD STING THAT HE RESPECTED HIM, TOLD STING HE HAD NO ALLEGIANCE TO ANYONE, AND THEN CONFUSED US EVEN FURTHER WHEN HE WOULDN’T FIGHT BACK WITH STING, ATTACKED HIM LATER ON. >> WELL, I DON’T THINK HE CONFUSE ANYBODY. I HOPE HE DIDN’T CONFUSE STING, YOU KNOW, STING LEARNED THE HARD WAY OVER THE PAST WHO TO TRUST, WHO NOT TO TRUST, AND I DON’T BELIEVE HE’S TRUSTING BRET HART. I HOPE NOT. >> I HOPE NOT. LET’ TAKE YOU BACK TO LAST WEEK ON THIS PROGRAM. BRET HART AND STING, WHAT ALL WENT DOWN. IT WAS INCREDIBLE. HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED. >> [MUSIC] >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> THAT LITTLE ALTERCATION THAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK WITH STING. STING, YOU DON’T NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO ME. IT WAS JUST A LITTLE MISUNDERSTANDING. ALL IS FORGIVEN. BUT I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND SOMETHING, THERE’S ONLY ONE WRESTLER BACK THERE THAT I HAVE MORE RESPECT FOR THAN YOU. NOW, I’VE BEEN IN INVITED TO JOIN THE NWO WITH HOLLYWOOD HOGAN BUT OUT OF RESPECT FOR STING, I STAY ON THE OUTER FRINGE. I DON’T JOIN BECAUSE I RESPECT STING. I RESPECT WHAT HE’S DONE FOR WRESTLING. I RESPECT THE FACT THAT HE WAS THE LEGACY OF THE WCW AND HE GOT SCREWED OVER BY THE PROMOTION JUST LIKE I DID. I RESPECT THE FACT THAT HE’S GOT THE SAME TASTE IN MOVES, THE SHARPSHOOTER AND THE SCORPION. STING, LAST WEEK WAS YOUR FAULT. THERE WAS NO INTENTION ON MY PART TO GO INTO THAT MATCH AND COST YOU ANYTHING, AND IT WAS YOUR OWN BRASH BEHAVIOR THAT COST YOU YOUR TITLE. BUT I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER, BE A CHAMPION. BE A TRUE CHAMPION. LEARN FROM DEFEAT AND WIN THE NEXT TIME. STING, I’M YOUR FRIEND. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> UH-OH. >> OH, NO. >> I SMELL THE MASTER OF MANIPULATION. “THE HITMAN” BRET HART ON HIS WAY TO THE RING. >> PUT HIM IN THAT SCORPION DEATHLOCK. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> AND NOW, HART JOGS TO THE RING AND STING DROPS SCOTT HALL. HE DROPPED THE LEGS. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> YOU WANNA TALK TO ME? >> STING SAID, “OH, YOU WANNA TALK TO ME? HERE’S SOMETHING FOR YOU.” >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> STING GOING AFTER BRET HART. BRET HART REALLY NOT FIGHTING BACK. OH, WAIT. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> UH-OH, THERE’S HENNIG AND VINCENT. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> STING IS GONNA PUT HIM IN THE SCORPION–OH, NO. >> OH, LOOK OUT QUICKLY HE ESCAPED FROM THE SCORPION. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> [MUSIC] >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> WELCOME BACK, FANS.

OR WHETHER IT BE THE FRANCHISE THEY CALL STING. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> BECAUSE I GOT ONE THING TO SAY, GIANT, AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS. YOU’RE NEXT. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> [INDISTINCT] SAYING ANY AND ALL COMERS? >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> ANYBODY, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. >> WHOA, WHOA, WHOA. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> JUST A SECOND.

WHAT WAS SAID THERE? >> I DON’T KNOW. >> STING JUST PUSHED HIM AWAY. >> STING GIVES CHASE OF GOLDBERG, GOLDBERG WANTS TO BE IN A GIGANTIC BATTLE ROYAL THIS SATURDAY, THE WORLD CHAMP DOES. WE’LL BE BACK ON MONDAY NITRO. >> [MUSIC] >> ALL RIGHT, FANS, WE’RE BACK RIGHT BEHIND–WHAT’S GOING ON HERE? >> THAT’S STING. >> THAT IS STING BUT WHO IS HE HOVERING OVER THERE? >> CAN’T TELL. >> AND I CAN’T TELL EITHER, IT’S A MEMBER OF THE WOLFPAC, YOU SAID. WELL, FANS, I’M NOT SO–ALL RIGHT, AND WE’VE BEEN TOLD THAT IS LEX LUGER, AND LEX LUGER HAS–AND STING JUST WALKED RIGHT BY, WHERE IN THE WORLD IS HE GOING, HE ROLLED LEX OVER AND LOOKED AT HIM AND THEN, WHEN SECURITY CAME, HE JUST–HE JUST–HE JUST WALKED AWAY. NOW, I KNOW THAT’S THE–THAT’S OUR VIDEO TRACK OUT BACK THERE, THAT’S–THE ONLY WAY BACK THERE IS AN EXIT FROM THE BUILDING. >> [MUSIC] >> IT SEEMS AS IF HE’S GOING TO WALK OUT OF THE ARENA HERE. >> STING JUST LEFT THE DENVER COLISEUM? AND WHY HE WOULD LEAVE WHEN LUGER WAS UNCONSCIOUS ON THE FLOOR? >> I DON’T KNOW BUT THE WAY HE WAS WALKING, HE LOOKED LIKE A MAN ON A MISSION. WHAT THE MISSION IS, I DON’T HAVE A CLUE BUT I KNOW THIS MUSIC IS ANNOYING. >> WELL FANS, IT IS SCHEDULED TO BE STING AND LUGER GOING OUT FOR THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP IN THIS PROGRAM AGAINST SCOTT HALL AND THE GIANT. BUT WHEN GOLDBERG MENTIONED STING’S NAME, STING WENT RIGHT OUT TO THE RING AND THEN, THE PAMPHLETS DROPPED FROM THE TOP OF THE ARENA HERE ON THE COLISEUM, HERE CAME IN NWO HOLLYWOOD, GOLDBERG WENT RIGHT AFTER THE GIANT, STING WENT TO HIM, STOPPED BY HART, AND THEN STING SEES LUGER, OBVIOUSLY, BEING KNOCKED OUT, STOPPING, AND THEN APPARENTLY LEAVES THE ARENA, I DON’T KNOW WHAT–I DON’T–I DON’T KNOW WHAT SET HIM. >> WHAT A CONFUSING SITUATION THIS IS. >> WELL, YOU’RE NOT KIDDING. >> ONE THING THAT’S NOT CONFUSING, AND THAT’S THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE BLACK AND THE WHITE, AND THE RED AND THE BLACK. NO DOUBT IN MY MIND, THEY’RE AT EACH OTHER’S THROATS, BIG TIME. >> AND THEY’RE INVOLVED IN A BATTLE ROYAL THIS COMING SATURDAY, THAT GOLDBERG OF WCW, THE WORLD CHAMP, HAS THROWN HIS NAME IN THE HAT FOR HIM, MIKE. >> THAT’S ABSOLUTELY UNHEARD OF, ISN’T IT?

HERE’S A LOOK AT WHERE YOU CAN PLAN YOUR AUGUST VACATION AROUND NITRO AND AROUND THUNDER, THERE’S BRIAN ADAMS OF NWO HOLLYWOOD AGAINST “HACKSAW” JIM DUGGAN IN THIS NEXT MATCHUP. >> I’LL TELL YOU, BRIAN ADAMS, BIG GUY, AND SMART THING GOING TO LEAVE THE RING WHEN HACKSAW HAS GOT THAT 2X4, SEE WHAT HACKSAW CAN DO, I MEAN, HE JUST PLOWS HIS WAY THROUGH OPPONENTS. BRIAN ADAMS IS GOING TO HAVE TO USE HIS BRAINS HERE. >> AND I STILL CAN’T GET OVER GOLDBERG THROWING HIS, YOU KNOW, HIS NAME INTO THE HAT, SO TO SPEAK, ASKING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE INVOLVED IN THAT NWO BATTLE ROYAL THIS SATURDAY. THAT JUST SHOWS YOU HOW FOCUSED HE IS ON GETTING PAY BACK AGAINST THE GIANT. >> OH, YEAH, THE GIANT CERTAINLY, AND THE CHOKESLAM THAT WE SAW AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM LAST WEEK IS THE REASON THAT GOLDBERG WANTS TO BE IN–AND WATCH OUT, BRIAN ADAMS ALL THE WAY OUTSIDE. GOLDBERG IS WILLING TO GO INTO–I MEAN, HE’S GOING TO GO INTO A BATTLE ROYAL WITH MEN WHO ALL WANT TO TAKE HIM DOWN, WHO ALL WANT TO BE WORLD CHAMP. YOU WOULD THINK THAT GOLDBERG WOULD BE THE FOCUS, THE TARGET OF THIS BATTLE ROYAL MATCH. >> PLUS, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT NWO WRESTLERS, BLACK AND WHITE, AND WOLFPAC THAT HAVE A COMMON BOND. THEY COULD TEAM UP AGAINST GOLDBERG IN THIS KIND OF A SITUATION. HE SAID THAT HE DOESN’T CARE IF HE HAS TO GO THROUGH PAUL, NASH, EVEN STING TO GET AT THE GIANT. DOUBLE AXE HANDLE BY HACKSAW, I AIN’T ABOUT TOO SURE HOW MUCH OF A COMMON BOND THE NWO MEMBERS HAVE OR NOT. >> I DON’T THINK ANY OF THEM TRUST ANY OF THEM. >> AND I’M NOT SO SURE WITHIN THEIR OWN RANKS. >> BRIAN ADAMS, WHO MADE THE CHALLENGE LAST WEEK AND GOLDBERG, OF COURSE FOR ADAMS, ONE OF THE FINEST, ONE OF THE TOUGHEST, ONE OF THE STRONGEST IN OUR SPORT, BECAME IN MANY WAYS, JUST ANOTHER GOLDBERG STATISTIC LAST WEEK. >> HE BECAME VICTIM NUMBER 121. >> YES, AND HE SHOULDN’T FEEL BAD BECAUSE JUST ABOUT EVERYONE CAN JOIN IN THAT ONE. ADAMS THOUGH, LOOKING TO REBOUND HERE, SNAPMARE TAKEOVER, SENDING “HACKSAW” JIM DUGGAN DOWN. WELL FANS, WE HAVE NOT HEARD WHETHER STING HAS ARRIVED BACK OR IF STING MAYBE LEFT THE BUILDING OR WHAT HAPPENED, BUT STING LOOKED AT LUGER, TURN HIM OVER TO MAKE SURE HE WAS–I GUESS TO MAKE SURE, IT WAS HIS FRIEND, LUGER, OR JUST TO SEE WHO IT WAS, WHEN SECURITY CAME IN, STING JUST–I MEAN, ALMOST LIKE HE DROPPED LUGER, WALKED RIGHT OUT OF THE BACK OF THE BUILDING. NOW, WHAT THAT’S ABOUT, I’M SORRY TO SAY, I DON’T KNOW, I DON’T KNOW IF HE–IF HE SAW SOMEONE LEAVING AND HE’S GIVING CHASE, OR IF HE REALIZES THAT HIS CHANCE OF BECOMING WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS TONIGHT MAY BE SLIM AND NONE, I’M NOT SURE. BUT WE WILL KEEP YOU POSTED WHEN WE FIND SOME INFORMATION. OH, DOWN GOES ADAMS AGAIN. OH, VINCENT UP ON THE RING APRON TO INTERFERE. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> AND GETS A FOOT FROM BRIAN ADAMS. >> DUGGAN, PULLING UP, BOUND HIM ON THE ROPE. HOW ABOUT A THREE POINT STANCE? YOU’RE NOT KIDDING. >> WELL, HE’S GOT THE WEIGHT, THE MOMENTUM TO MOVE HIM. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> HEY, HEY, HEY. >> GUT SHOT, VINCENT HAD THE 2X4. >> VINCENT GETS HIT WITH A 2X4. >> HE REALLY DID AND THEN DUGGAN GOT HIT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD–BRIAN ADAMS… >> OH. >> …OH, MY GOODNESS. TOO MUCH, NUMBERS GAME, THEN THE PILEDRIVER. >> IT’S OVER. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> YOU’RE RIGHT MIKE TENAY, IT WAS THE NUMBERS GAME. AND NWO HOLLYWOOD NOW CONTINUES THEIR HOT STREAK. >> OH, THEY’RE ON A ROLL, I MEAN… >> [INDISTINCT] TWO GUYS OUT THERE. >> YEAH, AND OF COURSE, NOT INCLUDING ONE HALF TO ADAMS, WOULDN’T MAKE A BAD [INDISTINCT] THE STRIFE THEY MADE OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, AND THIS IS OUR MASTER LOCK, LOCK OF THE NIGHT, LIVING LEGEND. >> WELL, IT’S THE SAME MO OF THE NWO RIGHT THERE, HACKSAW DUCKED OUT OF THE WAY IN THE NICK OF TIME EVEN THOUGH VINCENT TRIED TO DOUBLE TEAM HIM, AN OLD TRICK OF THE TRADE WHEN YOU’RE IN THAT RING POSITIONING, MAKING YOUR FRIEND–HACKSAW DID THAT, I’M PROUD OF HIM, GOT ENOUGH WEIGHT, KNOCKED BRIAN ADAMS OFF HIS FEET, VINCENT TRYING–A LITTLE TOO SLOW BUT JUST TOO MANY–AGAIN, THE NUMBERS GAME, AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER SUCCEEDS WITH ALL PRIDE. >> IT’S OUR MASTER LOCK, LOCK OF THE NIGHT FOR THE TOUGH NEW MASTER LOCK IN YOUR CORNER BECAUSE MIKE [INDISTINCT] MASTER LOCK IS TOUGH UNDER FIRE. FANS, WE HAVE A LOT TO GO HERE ON WCW MONDAY NITRO BUT RIGHT NOW, WE’RE GOING TO TAKE YOU TO MEAN GENE OKERLUND, WE UNDERSTAND HE’S BACK IN THE LOCKER ROOM AREA, MAYBE HE CAN GET SOME ANSWERS AS TO WHAT HAPPENED, GENE. >> I AM BACK IN THE LOCKER ROOM AREA AFTER WHAT WE’VE JUST SEEN HAPPEN TO THE GREAT LEX LUGER. IN QUESTION, TONIGHT’S BIG TAG TEAM TITLE BOUT WITH THE GIANT AND SCOTT HALL, WCW NWO TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS TO MEET STING AND LEX LUGER. STING, ARE YOU IN THERE? STING, GENE OKERLUND HERE, STING?

HART? >> WHAT ARE YOU INSINUATING? >> YOU KNOW WHAT I’M INSINUATING, I’M NOT BEATING AROUND THE BUSH AT ALL. >> LISTEN, I’M THE ONE GUY THAT HE CAN TRUST. I MEAN, LEX, YEAH, HE’S A GOOD PARTNER FOR HIM BUT YOU KNOW, LEX ISN’T THE GREATEST PARTNER IN THE WORLD. HE COULD HAVE THE BEST PARTNER IN THE WORLD. I’M GOING TO OFFER SOMETHING RIGHT NOW, AND THIS IS–BECAUSE THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME. BECAUSE HOLLYWOOD IS MY FRIEND AND ALL THAT BUT THE ONE GUY THAT I LOOK UP TO THE MOST IS STING. AND FOR SOME REASON, ON THE COUNT OF RUMORS AND INNUENDO, AND BECAUSE OF THESE FANS, HE DOESN’T BELIEVE IT, BUT I WANT HIM TO KNOW–STING? >> HE IS NOT IN THERE, YOU’RE NOT GOING TO GET ANYWHERE, YOU DIDN’T ANSWER THE [INDISTINCT] YOU’RE RIGHT. >> YOU WERE TRYING, YOU WERE TRYING. LOOK, I WANT HIM TO KNOW HE CAN TRUST ME AND IF HE’LL LET ME BE HIS PARTNER TONIGHT, AND AS CRAZY AS IT SOUNDS, I WILL NOT LET HIM DOWN. HE WILL FIND OUT TONIGHT THAT I’M EVERYTHING THAT I SAID I AM. HE CAN TRUST ME BECAUSE I’M THE BEST THERE IS, THE BEST THERE WAS, AND THE BEST THERE EVER WILL BE, AND I WILL PROVE IT. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BRET HART, I SEE IT IS A BIG CONTRADICTION. THIS MAN ON THE FRINGES OF THE NWO BLACK AND WHITE. NOW, HE WANTS TO BE STING’S PARTNER? I CAN’T BELIEVE IT, TONY, BACK TO YOU. >> WELL, NEITHER CAN I, GENE.

JOJO, WHY DON’T YOU TELL HIM? >> YOU KNOW, GENE, THERE’S A CLAUSE IN RULE BOOK THAT SAYS, IN A CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH–AND YOU DO HAVE A CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH THIS SATURDAY AT ROAD WILD. >> YES, I DO. YES, I DO. >> WELL, IF ONE OF THE CONTESTANTS WHO’S SHOWN A PATTERN OF IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR, BEING OUT OF CONTROL, AND DISRESPECT FOR THE OFFICIALS, WCW HAS THE RIGHT TO NAME A SPECIAL REFEREE. AND I HAVE EXERCISED THAT RIGHT… >> NAME ANYONE YOU WANT. NAME ANYBODY YOU WANT. YOUR STABLE OF REFEREES, ALL A BUNCH OF NO TALENT LOSERS. GO AHEAD. >> YOU WANT TO MEET THE REFEREE? >> BRING HIM OUT. >> I HAVE ASSIGNED THE–WHOA, WHOA. COME HERE. WHOA, RIGHT OVER HERE. I HAVE ASSIGNED THE REFEREE FOR THIS SATURDAY. I LIKE FOR YOU TO MEET DEAN MALENKO. >> HEY–WHOA. >> OH, YEAH. >> ARE YOU KIDDING ME? >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> WHAT? YOU CAN’T–YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO ME. THIS IS A CONSPIRACY. THIS IS SOMETHING LIKE A CONSPIRACY. >> THAT’S IT. HE IS RAPIDLY RABID. HE’S PROBABLY GOT A JUST CAUSE. TONY, BACK TO YOU, MY FRIEND. >> HOW ABOUT THAT? DEAN MALENKO WILL STEP IN AS THE SPECIAL REFEREE, WHEN JERICHO WILL PUT THE TITLE ON THE LINE AGAINST JUVENTUD THIS COMING SATURDAY. >> KING OF ALL LOOPHOLES HAS JUST BEEN ONE-UPPED. >> YOU MEAN THE REFEREE IS GONNA BE DEAN? CAN I GET A FAIRLY-SHAPED MALENKO? >> THAT’S WHAT WE SAID THERE, BOBBY “THE BRAIN.” >> WELL, IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE MR. JERICHO IS IN–LOOK AT THE SITUATION HERE. >> AND MORE SCREAMS AND MORE RANTS, MORE CRYING. AND I KNOW YOU CAN IDENTIFY WITH THIS, BOBBY. SCREAM, RANTING, AND CRYING ABOUT A CONSPIRACY. >> NOW, WE’RE JUST CHECKING IN TODAY AT THE HOTEL. >> [MUSIC] >> EDDIE GUERRERO MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING IN OUR NEXT MATCHUP HERE ON WCW MONDAY NIGHT. WELL, FANS, AN UPDATE TWICE GENE HAS GONE BACK TO STING’S LOCKER ROOM. IT’S VERY APPARENT STING IS NOT IN THERE. AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE DID TALK TO SOME OF OUR PRODUCTION PERSONNEL. IN THE BACK, THEY DID SEE STING LEAVE THE BACK–WALK OUT THE BACK DOOR AND HE HAS NOT RETURNED. STING IS NOT IN THE BUILDING. AND STING AND LUGER, WE’RE NOT SO SURE OF LUGER’S CONDITION. STING AND LUGER ARE TO MEET SCOTT HALL AND THE GIANT FOR THE WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE LATER ON THIS PROGRAM, BUT STING’S GONE. >> WELL, I WAS IN THE BACK, I HEARD EVERYBODY TALKING ABOUT STING AND BRET HART TRYING TO GET TO TALK TO HIM WITH GENE OKERLUND TRYING TO GET AN INTERVIEW WITH HIM. BUT THE PEOPLE I TALKED TO SAID THEY HAVEN’T SEEN HIM. >> AND THEN, HOW ABOUT BRET HART OFFERING TO BE STING’S TAG TEAM PARTNER? >> AND THEN TALKING… >> [BELL RINGING] >> …TO SCOTT HALL. >> WHO’S A MEMBER OF THE BLACK AND WHITE NWO. IT DON’T MAKE SENSE. >> WELL, YOU KNOW… >> IT DOES. WELL, YEAH, YEAH. >> …WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT BRET HART, IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. >> INSTIGATOR. >> BOY, THAT’S THE NICEST THING YOU CAN SAY ABOUT HIM… >> MANIPULATOR. >> …THAT WE CAN SAY ON TV HERE. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> SAY ABOUT JUST ANYTHING ANYMORE. >> WELL, YOU–WE CAN’T. MANY OTHER PEOPLE CAN, BUT WE CAN’T. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> A LITTLE HANDSHAKE HERE. WELL, HE GOT A HAND AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE FACE. A BLOCK. JUVENTUD, THAT’S ALL HE NEEDED. A LITTLE ADDED INCENTIVE TO GET HIM FIRED UP. OVER THE TOP, LANDS ON HIS FEET. DUCKS, CUTS EDDIE DOWN HERE NOW. JUVENTUD GUERRERO. AND YES, YOU FANS WHO WATCHED WCW SATURDAY NIGHT THIS PAST WEEK. >> OH. >> SAW JUVENTUD GET THE SHOT AGAINST JERICHO FOR ROAD WILD THIS SATURDAY, MIKE TENAY. YOU WERE THERE ALONG WITH SCOTT HUDSON, THANKS TO THE INVOLVEMENT BY CHRIS JERICHO. >> YEAH, IT WAS CHRIS JERICHO AGAIN HANDPICKING HIS OPPONENTS, TONY. JUVENTUD GUERRERO VICTORIOUS OVER RAY MYSTERIO, JR. WITH AN ASSIST FROM JERICHO, ALTHOUGH GUERRERO DIDN’T EVEN REALIZE IT, AND AS A RESULT, HE GETS THE CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE SHOT THIS SATURDAY AT ROAD WILD, DEAN MALENKO JUST ANNOUNCED AS THE SPECIAL REFEREE. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> UP AND DOWN AND DOES DEAN MALENKO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BEING A REFEREE? ONE WOULD SAY YES, OBVIOUSLY. TO BE A GREAT WRESTLER, YOU GOT TO KNOW THE RULES. YOU GOT TO KNOW WHAT WORKS, WHAT DOESN’T. YOU GOT TO KNOW THE FIVE-COUNT, WHAT RULES APPLY, AND–BUT DOES MATTER? FOR US, IT DOESN’T. AND HOPEFULLY, THAT DEAN MALENKO WILL NOT CALL IT DOWN THE MIDDLE. HOPEFULLY, MALENKO WILL GIVE IT AT AN ADVANTAGE FOR THE MAN YOU’RE WATCHING RIGHT NOW, JUVENTUD GUERRERO. >> WELL, IN A WAY, IT’S NOT REALLY FAIR TO JERICHO IF YOU–IF YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT. >> I KNOW. I–AND ISN’T THAT GREAT? >> ISN’T THAT GREAT? YES, IT IS INTERESTING. >> YEAH, IT IS INTERESTING. >> BUT WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE MAN’S FATHER WHO’S DECEASED, YOU’RE NOT GOING TO GET A FAIR SHAKE FROM THE GUY. >> NO, YOU’RE NOT. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> I JUST HOPE THAT HE LETS HIS TEMPER COOL DOWN A LITTLE BIT. I DON’T SEE HOW, THOUGH, BEFORE ROAD WILD THIS COMING SATURDAY. IT’S ONLY FIVE DAYS, FANS, UNTIL ROAD WILD. IT’S ONLY FIVE DAYS UNTIL TRAVIS TRITT WILL BE IN CONCERT LIVE THAT NIGHT. YOU CAN SEE IT ON PAY-PER-VIEW. AND… >> OH. >> …THAT NIGHT, YOU’LL SEE JAY LENO WRESTLE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. DON’T FORGET HIS BAND LEADER. KEVIN EUBANKS WILL BE AT RINGSIDE WITH DDP AND JAY LENO. >> JERICHO SHOULD SEE THAT, BRAIN? >> OH. >> NO, BUT… >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> …I HEAR RUMOR. ONE OF THEM IS PUTTING FIFTY BUCKS ON HOGAN. >> JUVENTUD JUST WENT AIRBORNE. SUICIDE DIVE THAT TIME UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE, CRASHING INTO EDDIE GUERRERO ON THE FLOOR. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> HIGH-INTENSITY MATCHUP IS WHAT WE HAVE HERE ON NITRO. AND NOW, JUVENTUD FOLLOWS EDDIE GUERRERO BACK IN, SENDING EDDIE OVER INTO THE CORNER, HIT HARD. JUVENTUD–LOOK AT THIS. EDDIE CAUGHT HIM… >> OH. >> …AND SENDS HIM FACE FIRST TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE USING HIS OWN MOMENTUM AGAINST HIM, MIKE. >> WELL, JUVENTUD COMMITTED HIMSELF TO THAT MOVE AND THAT ALLOWED EDDIE GUERRERO TO SEND HIM RIGHT INTO THAT TOP TURNBUCKLE, GUERRERO IN CONTROL. >> YOU KNOW, YOU WATCH JUVENTUD. HE’S, KIND OF, LIKE, A MEXICAN DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE. HE JUST DOESN’T GIVE UP, HE WON’T QUIT, HE KEEPS COMING AT YOU. >> OW. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> OH. >> WHAT A DDT. >> AND IT–NO. >> OH. >> I THOUGHT HE BEAT HIM WITH IT, BUT HE DIDN’T. HE ONLY GOT A TWO-COUNT. GIVE EDDIE A LOT OF CREDIT FOR BEING ABLE TO KICK OUT OF THAT MOVE. THAT WAS SPECTACULAR. >> AND THEY’RE NOT DONE YET. >> NO, THEY’RE–THEY NEVER ARE, SEEMINGLY, UP ON THAT TOP ROPE. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK CONNECTED. >> JUVI DRIVER, IT’S WHAT HE’S CALLING FOR. >> DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME NOW, JUVI. >> AND THE FANS KNOW IT, THEY KNOW HIS REPERTOIRE. THEY KNOW THAT THE JUVI DRIVER IS ONE OF THE BIG MOVES AND SO DOES EDDIE GUERRERO. >> UH-OH. >> HE PICKS HIM UP, LOOK AT THAT. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> JUST MUSCLED HIM… >> OH, NO. >> SHOULDER BREAKER, GREAT STRENGTH BY EDDIE GUERRERO [INDISTINCT] IN THERE. >> I SMELL FROGGY COMING. >> IT COULD BE. EDDIE GUERRERO CLIMBING TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE. HE CONNECTED. ONE, TWO, THREE. >> [BELL RINGING] >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> [MUSIC] >> WOW. >> EDDIE TURNED IT AROUND ON JUVENTUD AND THAT WAS A BITTER LOSS FOR GUERRERA ONLY FIVE DAYS BEFORE HE GETS A SHOT AT THE CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE. HE’S GOT TO REGROUP NOW AND BOUNCE BACK FOR THIS SATURDAY AT STURGIS. >> QUICK TURNAROUND BY EDDIE GUERRERO. THE MOMENTUM THAT JUVENTUD HAS IS GONE. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> WELL, FANS, IN ONLY FIVE DAYS, YES, IT IS TRUE, JAY LENO GETS IN THE RING AT ROAD WILD. >> I WANT YOU TO CHECK OUT THE HARDWARE ON THIS AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL. I’LL TELL YOU WHAT, THIS IS A VERY STRONGLY BUILT MACHINE. WE’RE GONNA BE HEADING FOR ROAD WILD STURGIS, SOUTH DAKOTA. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BIKERS, WE’RE GOING TO BE PART OF IT. HOPE YOU CAN JOIN US, AND OF COURSE, YOU CAN SEE IT ALL ON PAY-PER-VIEW. BY THE WAY, I SHOULD POINT OUT. I’M ONE OF THE YOUNGER RIDERS THIS YEAR. YEAH, THEY’VE GOT THEM UP IN THEIR 70S, 80S, AND 90S, TONY, IF YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT. >> I CAN. >> I KNOW YOU’RE TAKING A CAB. I DON’T KNOW HOW HEENAN’S GETTING THERE, BUT I’M GOING TO BE ON THIS PUPPY. THEY ARE AMERICAN IRONHORSE. THEY ARE BUILT TO RULE THE ROAD. THEY ARE SOMETHING ELSE. BACK TO YOU. >> BRAIN, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET THERE? >> RIDE IN A BIKE. >> YOU’RE NOT GOING TO RIDE ONE OF THOSE. >> I’LL SWIM. >> OH, THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT. >> DOWNHILL THOUGH. >> YEAH, YOU–I CAN’T SEE HIM DOING ANY WORK AT ALL. >> JUST GET A BASKET ON AND TAKE HIM TONIGHT. >> STURGIS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. >> STURGIS–IT IS GONNA–IT’S OUR THIRD YEAR AT ROAD WILD. IT IS THIS SATURDAY–THAT’S RIGHT, SATURDAY NIGHT. AND FANS, TRAVIS TRITT, COUNTRY MUSIC SUPERSTAR, OWNER OF MANY PLATINUM CDS, ALBUMS, HE’S GOING TO BE THERE IN CONCERT, AND JAY LENO IS GONNA WRESTLE AND… >> YOU KNOW IT’S A KNEE LIFT HE GAVE BISCHOFF? >> YEAH, I DID. >> YOU GOT ALL SPUNKED ON WHEN… >> WAIT. IF YOU RECALL IT, AND WE ALL WATCHED THE–WHAT HAPPENED THIS PAST WEDNESDAY ON THE TONIGHT SHOW, WHEN BISCHOFF WALKED UP THERE, JAY LENO, QUICK TO TRY TO SLAP HIM RIGHT IN THE FACE. AND THEN THE KNEE LIFT. LENO’S BEEN DOING THE THINGS TO BISCHOFF THAT MANY OF US HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO ON HIM. >> OH, WE’RE ENVIOUS. NO QUESTION. >> ALL RIGHT. STOP RIGHT IN YOUR TRACKS, STEVIE RAY. WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT WORLD TELEVISION TITLE? WHAT’S THIS IN YOUR HAND? >> YOU KNOW, JEAN, FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, I’VE BEEN APPALLED THAT ALL MY GREAT FANS AND ALL MY BROTHER’S GREAT FANS HAD THE GALL NOT TO BELIEVE ME, WHEN I TOLD THE WHOLE WORLD THAT MY BROTHER SIGNED OVER THE POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR THIS BELT, FOR ME TO DEFEND IT. I FELT LIKE DEPRIVED OF IT WHEN NOBODY BELIEVED ME, YOU KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING? >> I’VE GOT AN IDEA HOW THAT FEELS. >> YEAH, I KNOW YOU DO. BUT TONIGHT, I GOT LEGAL DOCUMENTS. THEY HAVE BEEN NOTARIZED. AS OF TONIGHT, MY LITTLE BROTHER LOOKED AT ME WITH THOSE BIG BROWN EYES AND SAID, “BROTHER, GO DEFEND THE BELT. HERE ARE THE DOCUMENTS.” BIG STEVIE RAY, “THE BIG GUN,” IS NOW OFFICIALLY THE WORLD TV CHAMPION AND I GOT A TOP 10 COMPETITOR IN THE RING. HE’S NUMBER TWO FROM MEXICO AND I GOT TO GO DEFEND THIS BELT. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> ALL RIGHT. I DON’T SEE THAT THIS HAS BEEN NOTARIZED. >> IT HAS BEEN. NOW, THERE YOU CAN SEE… >> WAIT UNTIL I SAW–WHERE IS THE NOTARY… >> IT’S NOTED RIGHT THERE… >> I DON’T THINK IT’S BEEN NOTARIZED. YOU’VE GOT A MATCH. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> GUYS… >> HE’S… >> …HE’S GETTING IT AWAY. >> GENE, WHY DON’T YOU TAKE THAT–THE DOCUMENT BACK, TAKE IT TO JJ DILLON, SEE IF THERE’S A NOTARY SEAL ON IT. >> GENE, WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IS TAKE THAT IN THE BACK AND MAKE TEN COPIES AND BURN THEM. >> WELL, STEVIE RAY WITH THAT WORLD TELEVISION BELT, THAT’S BEEN VERY APPARENT THAT HE’S NEVER GIVEN UP, THAT HE’S HAD IT IN HIS BAG THE WHOLE TIME. THIS IS ANOTHER CHARADE, IS ALL IT IS. IT’S ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO FOOL US AND HEY, WE’VE BEEN UP HERE TOO LONG. YOU CAN’T FOOL US. YOU CAN’T FOOL THE FANS ANY LONGER. THE MAN IS NO MORE WORLD TELEVISION CHAMP THAN MIKE TENAY IS. >> POWER OF ATTORNEY? NOTARIZED? IT’S ALL OF IT. IT’S A JOKE, ABSOLUTELY. >> WE NEED TO GET AN INTERVIEW WITH BOOKER T AND GET THIS–AND GET THIS STRAIGHTENED OUT. >> I GOT A PRETTY GOOD LOOK AT IT AND I DON’T REMEMBER TOO MANY LEGAL DOCUMENTS I’VE SEEN IN CRAYON. >> AND–WELL–AND MEANWHILE, AS WE SEE WHAT’S GOING ON HERE IN THE RING, WE HAVE TO WONDER WHERE IN THE WORLD IS STING. HE AND LEX LUGER WERE SCHEDULED TO GO AGAINST THE GIANT AND SCOTT HALL IN A TAG TEAM MAIN EVENT HERE TONIGHT. BUT STING IS GONE. LUGER APPARENTLY HAS BEEN BEATEN, WE DON’T KNOW THE SEVERITY OF THE INJURIES OR IF HE CAN CONTINUE OR NOT. AND… >> OR WHO IT WAS BEHIND THE BEATING. ALTHOUGH, I THINK WE CAN ALL DRAW CONCLUSIONS, CAN’T WE? >> I THINK WE CAN DRAW A LOT OF CONCLUSIONS AND, YOU KNOW, FANS, YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO DO IT ON YOUR OWN… >> OH. >> …I KNOW WHO WE THINK IS BEHIND ALL THIS, BUT THAT’S YOUR DECISION TO MAKE. OH, THE FOOT TO THE FACE OF LIZMARK JR. AND THAT LUCHADOR WAS DOING SOME FLYING, ALTHOUGH NOT ON HIS OWN. >> NOW, WE KNOW FROM NWO HISTORY, WHEN SOMEONE SHOWS UP MISSING, HE’D NEVER JUST SHOW UP AGAIN AND SAY, “OH, I HAD A–I WAS OUT BACK, TAKING A LITTLE WALK, I FEEL FINE.” YOU CAN FIND HIM ON A GURNEY SOMEPLACE. >> YEAH. I’VE SAID IT BEFORE, I’LL SAY IT AGAIN. WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, SOUNDS LIKE, IT SMELLS LIKE, IT USUALLY IS THE NEW WORLD ORDER. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> BACK IN THE CORNER NOW. AND HERE COMES STEVIE RAY NOW. YOU KNOW, ALL OF THIS THAT HE’S BEEN DOING WITH THE BELT AND OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU WATCHED, WHEN BOOKER T WAS INJURED AT THE HANDS–THERE’S A COVER, ONE, TWO, BY LIZMARK. AND BOOKER T WAS INJURED AT THE HANDS OF BRET “THE HITMAN” HART. STEVIE RAY WAS NOT THAT CONCERNED ABOUT HIS BROTHER’S WELL-BEING. YOU RECALL THAT–REGARDLESS OF ALL THAT, YOU CAN’T DENY THE ABILITY OF THIS BIG MAN… >> OH. >> …FROM HARLEM, NEW YORK. LOOK AT THAT KICK. THAT IS A BACK LEG FRONT KICK FROM STEVIE RAY. HE SURE HAD LOT OF MARTIAL ARTS ABILITY OF HIS OWN THERE. >> FRONT KICK JUST LEVELED LIZMARK JR. YOU NEVER EXPECTED STEVIE RAY TO BE OUTWITTING LIZMARK BUT HE’S BEATING HIM TO THE PUNCH. >> END OF THE ROPES GOES LIZMARK AND HE PICKS HIM UP. DROPS HIM DOWN. BIG POWER MOVE THAT TIME BY STEVIE RAY. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> I THINK LIZMARK HAS JUST MADE A MARK IN THAT RING. >> I BELIEVE HE HAS. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> STEVIE RAY… >> POWER–WHAT A POWERFUL MAN. >> CHECK IT OUT, STEVIE RAY. >> WHAT DO WE GOT HERE? >> CHECK IT OUT, STEVIE RAY. I WAS IN THE BACK. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> I WAS IN THE BACK RIGHT NOW. I WAS IN YOUR BACK. I FOUND THESE COOL GLOVES. HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM? YOU MIND IF I BORROW THEM? THANK YOU. LOOK WHAT ELSE I FOUND. IT’S A NOTARY STAMP THAT’S GONNA MAKE LEGAL DOCUMENTS. YOU KNOW, KIND OF, LIKE THE ONE YOU SHOWED GENE, YOU KNOW–HEY, I CAN MAKE A DRIVER’S LICENSE. HEY, I CAN FINALLY DRIVE. I CAN DRIVE. MAYBE A MARRIAGE LICENSE. ANYBODY WANT TO GET MARRIED OUT THERE? I CAN MAKE MY OWN MARRIAGE LICENSE OUT THERE. ANYBODY SEE MY HORSE PEPE? I’VE BEEN–HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY. THANK YOU–NO–HEY, HEY. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> HE’S BEEN GOING THROUGH HIS THINGS AGAIN. >> MAN’S A KLEPTOMANIAC. >> PSYCHO CHAVO IS WHAT IT IS. >> HE’S BEEN RIFLING STEVIE RAY’S BAG. >> AND I GET–YEAH, THERE’S THE COUNT. >> [BELL RINGING] >> THE REFEREE CALLING THE BELL. LIZMARK’S GONNA WIN THIS BY COUNT-OUT. ALTHOUGH BY RULES, HE WOULD NOT WIN THE WORLD TELEVISION TITLE BELT, WHICH WE DON’T REALLY BELIEVE WAS LEGALLY UP FOR GRABS ANYWAY. BUT FANS, WE’RE GOING TO TRY TO SORT IT OUT AND HAVE A LOT MORE. >> [MUSIC] >> BACK ON WCW MONDAY NITRO. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT’S TIME FOR THE THIRD BIG HOUR OF THIS SPECTACULAR HERE TONIGHT. AND WHAT A NIGHT IT HAS BEEN. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LATER ON TONIGHT, WE’RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE STING AND LUGER AGAINST THE TEAM OF SCOTT HALL AND THE GIANT, BUT STING, AS YOU KNOW, HAS LEFT THE ARENA. AND LEX LUGER, APPARENTLY IN NO CONDITION TO FIGHT. WE WILL TRY TO KEEP YOU ABREAST AS TO WHAT’S GOING DOWN DURING THE COURSE OF THE PROGRAM. >> [MUSIC] >> BUT IN THIS HOUR HERE, IN THIS–IN THIS THIRD HOUR, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE CURT HENNIG OF NWO BLACK AND WHITE AGAINST KONNAN OF NWO RED AND BLACK. >> [MUSIC] >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> WE’LL REMIND YOU BEFORE THIS MATCH GETS UNDERWAY THAT OUR FANS IN SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA, WE’RE COMING TO THE ARENA THIS COMING TUESDAY, AUGUST 11TH, WITH THE BIG NIGHT. TICKETS AT THE BOX OFFICE AND TICKETMASTER. AND ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 25TH, WE’RE GOING TO BE AT TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA AT THE HULMAN CENTER. TICKETS AT THE BOX OFFICE, AT THE CENTER TICKET OFFICE, AND ALL TICKETMASTER LOCATIONS. AND WOULD YOU LOOK AT THIS? A MAN WHO CAME OUT EARLIER–WHO CAME OUT EARLIER AND SAID HE DIDN’T HAVE A MATCH HERE TONIGHT, WAS GOING TO MAKE HIS OWN MATCH. SCOTT “FLASH” NORTON, ONE OF THE MOST FEARED MEN NOT ONLY IN NWO BLACK AND WHITE AND ANYWHERE, COMES OUT HERE WITH CURT HENNIG BUT THERE’S NO RICK RUDE. >> I’LL SHOW YOU SOME BLACK AND BLUE KIDDO. >> [MUSIC] >> THAT’S UNUSUAL. >> WELL, THAT–YOU KNOW WHY? I MEAN, YOU ALWAYS SEEM TO KEEP YOUR EAR TO DIRT. >> YEAH, WHAT’S THE STORY BEHIND THAT? >> MY EAR TO DIRT? WHAT YOU MEAN HOW I KEEP MY EAR TO DIRT? >> YOU KEEP YOUR EAR TO DIRT. >> WHAT DOES DIRT–WHAT DOES DIRT SOUND LIKE, TONY? >> YOU DON’T KNOW? OH, OH, OH. >> EVERY TIME HOGAN OPENS HIS MOUTH, THAT’S WHAT YOU HEAR. >> ANYBODY KNOWS MIKE TENAY, THOUGH. KONNAN MAKES HIS WAY OUT. >> THE HUMAN DIRT FACT. >> IT’S GOING TO BE NWO… >> [INDISTINCT] ON THE DIRT. >> …AGAINST–WOULD YOU LOOK AT THOSE NEW WOLFPAC SHIRTS? >> I THINK THEY’RE COOL. >> THEY REALLY ARE. AND THERE’S YOUR STANDARD BLACK AND RED NWO WOLFPAC. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> YOU KNOW, KONNAN HAS THE SUPPORT OF ALL NWO WOLFPAC MEMBERS BUT REMEMBER, THERE ARE TWO. >> YO, YO, YO. DENVER. LET ME SPEAK ON THIS. ORALE. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> ARRIBA LA RAZA. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> YO, EVERYBODY IN DENVER KNOWS THAT THE WOLFPAC AND DENVER’S BOUTY, BOUTY AT. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> YO, CURT HENNIG, IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO YOU BRING UP HERE. GET PREPARED TO GET BEAT DOWN. >> KONNAN DOESN’T LACK AT THE CONFIDENCE NOR DOES HE LACK AT THE FANS’ SUPPORT. >> [BELL RINGING] >> AND HENNIG TRIES TO GET A QUICK START. KONNAN WILL HAVE NONE OF IT. >> OF COURSE, THAT FAN SUPPORT, THAT’S PART FOR THE–OF COURSE FOR THE NWO WOLFPAC AS KONNAN UNLOADS AT THE OPENING BELL. >> HOW ABOUT THAT BUILD? >> WHOA. >> OH. >> RUNS RIGHT OUT OF IT. AND HENNIG TAKES A LOW RUN NOW. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> BUT HE’S GOT THE MERCENARY OUT THERE WITH HIM. >> OH, AND SCOTT NORTON LEAVE BODIES LYING HERE IN DENVER EARLIER THIS EVENING. THREE OF THEM TO BE EXACT. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> BUT NORTON’S GOT A REPUTATION. HE’LL DO ANYTHING FOR MONEY. HE’LL FIGHT ANYBODY, HE’LL BEAT UP YOUR GRANDMOTHER IF YOU WANT IT DONE. >> IF YOU WANT IT DONE ENOUGH. >> YOU MAY. HENNIG NOW STOMPS AWAY AT KONNAN. WATCH OUT AS SCOTT NORTON GETS THE ATTENTION OF MARK OR MAKE THAT BILLY SILVERMAN. THE LOW ROAD TAKEN BY CURT HENNIG HERE. WE TALKED ABOUT IT EARLY. NOW, NWO HOLLYWOOD, THE BLACK AND THE WHITE AND HOW THEY WERE RED-HOT AND HOW THEY HAD REALLY TAKEN CHARGE A FEW WEEKS BACK. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> I THINK IT’S VERY APPARENT BY THE LEAFLETS THAT HAD BEEN DROPPED BY THE SPRAY PAINTING OF GOLDBERG’S LOCKER ROOM, ONE WEEK AGO WHEN WE WERE IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, THAT THE MAIN TARGET FOR NWO HOLLYWOOD IS THE WORLD CHAMP, GOLDBERG. >> NO QUESTION, TONY. NWO BLACK AND WHITE REALIZES THERE’S ONLY ONE SURE WAY TO BE RECOGNIZED AS THE MOST POWERFUL FORCE IN PRO-WRESTLING AND THAT’S TO REGAIN THE WORLD’S HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE. AS A RESULT, GOLDBERG HAS THE BULL’S EYE BETWEEN HIS EYES. >> HE CERTAINLY DOES. THE LEAFLETS THAT WERE DROPPED EARLIER SAID “WHO’S NEXT? GOLDBERG, YOU’RE NEXT.” >> OH, MY. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> AND THAT’S IT FOR NWO HOLLYWOOD. AND HENNIG KNOCKED FOR A FLIP ON THAT ONE BY K-DAWG. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> OH. >> DOUBLE-SEATED DROPKICK THAT TIME. ROCKED HIS HEAD TO THE MAT. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> WOW. KONNAN HAS COME TO FIGHT HERE TONIGHT. LEAPFROG, GREAT AGILITY, BACK KICK, GOT HIM IN THE KNEE. HEAD FIRST. >> OH. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> THAT’S IT. HE’S GOT HIM. >> BUT HE DOESN’T MAKE A COVER. I THINK YOU’RE RIGHT. HE COULD’VE HAD HIM. HE’S GOING TO GO FOR THE TEQUILA SUNRISE. >> OH, HE’S GOT HIM HOOKED. PERFECT POSITION. MIDDLE OF THE RING. >> HE’S GOT HIM. HE CAN’T MAKE IT TO THE ROPES. >> SUBMISSION HOLD. DID HE CALL FOR THE BELL? NO. >> OH, FOR NORTON. >> THE REFEREE STOOD UP AND LOOKED AT SCOTT NORTON, CAUSING KONNAN TO BREAK THE HOLD. AND KONNAN GETS HIT ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> HE’S CHOKING HIM WITH HIS OWN SHIRT, WITH A LITTLE NECKLACE, IT LOOKS LIKE. >> THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HE’S DOING. KONNAN BLUDGEONED IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD BY THE BIG FOREARM BY SCOTT NORTON AND NOW BEING CHOKED BY HENNIG. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> UH-OH. HERER COMES THE HENNIG PLEX. >> ONE, TWO, HE GOT HIM. >> [BELL RINGING] >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> HENNIG GETS THE WIN. AND WATCH OUT NOW. >> BIG NASH IS HERE. >> BIG SEXY ARRIVES ON THE SCENE. KEVIN NASH HAS ARRIVED. YOU HEARD THE FANS ERUPT. HE SAW WHAT HAPPENED. THE CHOKEHOLD, THE HIT FROM BEHIND, KONNAN HAD THIS THING WON. HE HAD THIS MATCH WON IN THE CENTER OF THE RING AND IT WAS STOLEN AWAY AGAIN BY THE WHITE AND THE BLACK. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> WELL, NORTON HADN’T BEEN OUT THERE, KONNAN WOULD’VE WON THAT MATCH. >> NOBODY BEATS CURT HENNIG. NOBODY. >> HE HAD HIM RIGHT SMACKED–DABBED IN THE MIDDLE. >> AND AS HE LOOKS OVER K-DAWG DOES KEVIN NASH. BIG SEXY, IT’S TIME FOR OUR 1-800-COLLECT REPLAY, BRAIN. >> KONNAN ALMOST TAKES HENNIG OUT OF HIS BOOTS HERE WITH THAT VICIOUS CLOTHESLINE. BUT HENNIG, WITH THE HELP–WITH THE HELP OF NORTON, TURNS THE TABLES HERE. AND WITH THE HENNIG-PLEX GETS THE ONE, TWO, THREE ON KONNAN. YOUR WINNER, CURT HENNIG. >> 1-800-COLLECT IS THE WAY WE CALL COLLECT TODAY WITH A REPLAY HERE ON WCW MONDAY NITRO. WELL, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AN UPDATE ON STING, STILL NOT IN THE BUILDING, WE UNDERSTAND. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR OUR FEATURE BOUT? WHAT IF HE DOESN’T COME BACK? >> [MUSIC] >> OR WHAT IF HE DOES? WHO’S GOING TO BE HIS PARTNER? WE HAVE A LOT MORE TO COME ON A VERY BIZARRE NIGHT IN DENVER OF WCW MONDAY NITRO, FIVE DAYS BEFORE STURGIS. AND THIS PORTION BROUGHT TO YOU BY BURGER KING. IF YOU ASK US, IT JUST TASTES BETTER. WE’LL BE BACK ON TNT AFTER THIS TIME-OUT. >> [MUSIC] >> AND CHRIS JERICHO MAKES HIS WAY INTO THE RING. >> CHRIS JERICHO AND REY MYSTERIO JR. HOOK IT UP HERE. BRAIN, CHRIS JERICHO IS GETTING ALL THAT HE DESERVES. LOOK AT THAT SMILE ON HIS FACE, BUT THERE’S NO DENYING THAT HE GOT TO GO IN THE RING, COMING UP IN THE STURGIS TO FACE JUVENTUD WITH DEAN MALENKO, THE SPECIAL REFEREE, GUYS. >> [MUSIC] >> AND HIS OPPONENT TONIGHT ON NITRO, REY MYSTERIO JR., HE’S IN PAYBACK MODE BECAUSE THIS PAST SATURDAY NIGHT ON TBS, IT WAS CHRIS JERICHO’S INTERFERENCE THAT CAUSED THIS MAN, REY MYSTERIO JR., ANOTHER SHOT AT THE WCW WORLD CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE. TONY, I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A NON-TITLE MATCHUP HERE TONIGHT. >> OKAY. AND HERE’S ANOTHER GUY THAT WON’T GIVE UP. HE’LL GIVE IT A HUNDRED PERCENT EVERY TIME OUT. >> IT IS A NON-TITLE MATCH. OF COURSE, JUVENTUD ALREADY LOST TO EDDIE GUERRERO, SO HE HAS TO REGROUP FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM. AND THEN NOW… >> [BELL RINGING] >> …WATCH OUT. YOU KNOW, I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE THE MAN TO FACE JERICHO AFTER WHAT HAPPENED WITH MALENKO EARLIER IN THIS TELECAST. AND UNFORTUNATELY, THAT MAN IS REY MYSTERIO JR. ALWAYS AT A DISADVANTAGE WHEN YOU’RE THE SECOND MAN IN THE RING, AND YOU’RE SEEING WHY RIGHT HERE. LET THEM TAKE YOUR EYES OFF YOUR OPPONENT TO DUCK YOUR HEAD TO THE ROPES. NEXT THING YOU KNOW, YOU’VE BEEN CLUBBED. >> NO, YOU DON’T. >> OH, IT’S DOUBLE PAYBACK FOR REY JR. BECAUSE KEEP IN MIND THAT CHRIS JERICHO IS THE MAN THAT INJURED AND SIDELINED HIM, CAUSING HIM TO HAVE KNEE SURGERY. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> WHAT DO YOU MEAN “NO, YOU DON’T?” WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? >> YOU DON’T HAVE TO STICK YOUR HEAD THROUGH THE RING TO GET KICKED IN THE HEAD, YOU CAN STAND BACK LIKE THE REFEREE MAKE THAT MAN GET ACROSS THAT RING BEFORE YOU GET IN. HE’S JUST TOO ANXIOUS. HE MADE THE MISTAKE HIMSELF. I DON’T LIKE TO CORRECT EVERYBODY’S MISTAKES, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE I’M GOING TO HAVE TO. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> OH, THAT WORK’S NEVER DONE. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> FOOT TO THE FACE. AND REY UP TOP. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> OH, WOW. WHAT AGILITY. >> NOT ONLY AGILITY, THE MAN IN… >> HE’S A GIGOLO. >> STOP IT. UP ON TOP. >> OH. >> THAT WAS SPRINGBOARD OFF THE TOP INTO A SENTON SPLASH ON THE FLOOR, NAILED JERICHO. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> I APOLOGIZE FOR THE LAME, BRAIN, BY THE NAME OF BOBBY “THE BRAIN” HEENAN, WHO’S HAPPENED TO WORK WITH US TONIGHT. >> WHOA. WE DO IT EVERY WEEK, THIS BOY. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> ON THE FLOOR NOW, MYSTERIO LOOKING, AS YOU SAID EARLIER, MIKE, FOR A LITTLE PAYBACK. STILL, I DON’T UNDERSTAND, MIKE. NO REPORT ON STING. >> NOTHING. >> WHERE IS HE? >> LAST WE SAW OF HIM, HE LEFT THE BUILDING. AND WHY? WAS HE CHASING SOMEONE? NO ONE KNOWS. BUT HE CAME OUT TO CONFRONT GOLDBERG. GOLDBERG HAS THROWN HIS NAME IN THE HAT. HE WANTS TO BE PART OF THAT BIG BATTLE ROYAL COMING UP AT STURGIS THIS COMING SATURDAY, THE SAME NIGHT WHERE JAY LENO WILL WRESTLE AND TRAVIS TRITT WILL BE IN CONCERT. FANS, WE GOT TO TAKE A COMMERCIAL BREAK. THE TAPE MACHINES ARE ROLLING. WE’LL BE BACK WITH MORE OF THIS ACTION, LIVE ON NITRO. >> [MUSIC] >> WE’RE BACK. THE ACTION CONTINUES HERE ON WCW MONDAY NITRO. COVER, ONE, TWO BY MYSTERIO. WELL, IT’S BEEN A WILD NIGHT FROM STING LEAVING THE BUILDING. WE SAW SCOTT NORTON COME OUT AND SAID HE’S GOING TO MAKE HIS OWN MATCH AND CHALLENGE ANYONE HERE. JUST LOOK–JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING HAS HAPPENED HERE TONIGHT, MIKE TENAY. >> WELL, NORTON CHALLENGED ANYONE BUT YOU NOTICED HOW HE TURN TAIL WHEN KEVIN NASH CAME OUT TO THE RING. IMAGINE A SHOWDOWN BETWEEN THOSE TWO, NASH AND NORTON, POWERBOMB VERSUS POWERBOMB. >> OH. >> HOW ABOUT THAT? THAT’S A GREAT POINT, MIKE. HE DID TAKE THE LOW ROW WHEN BIG SEXY CAME TO THE RING. QUICKLY, BUT OF COURSE, THAT’S NWO HOLLYWOOD STYLE, TALK A BIG GAME AND THEN, UNLESS YOU HAVE THE NUMBERS IN YOUR FAVOR, TURN TAIL AND RUN. >> YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING THAT’S HAPPENING HERE TONIGHT THAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT, IT’S STILL IN THE BACK OF MY MIND, I JUST, KIND OF, WONDER WHAT BRET HART IS UP TO. >> ONE, TWO. WELL, THE EVIDENCE WOULD POINT TO A LOT HERE TONIGHT. I MEAN, WHEN HE WAS TALKING TO JEAN WHEN JEAN WAS KNOCKING ON STING’S LOCKER ROOM–DOOR–DRESSING ROOM DOOR, YOU COULD TELL THAT THERE WAS A HOLLOW MEANING IN IT. I MEAN, HE WASN’T EVEN GOOD AT IT. I MEAN, TO ME, THE MR. INSTIGATOR HAS DONE SOMETHING, BUT WHY STING LEFT THE BUILDING AND WHERE HE IS IS STILL THE QUESTION THAT WE DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW TO–HOW TO ANSWER OR WHAT THE ANSWER IS. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> UP ON TOP HERE NOW IS JERICHO. JERICHO, YOU COULD SEE IT IN HIS FACE, VERY CONFIDENT HE’S IN CONTROL OF THIS MATCH. >> ISN’T THAT DANGEROUS? >> WHOA, WHAT A DROPKICK IN THE BACK OF MYSTERIO’S HEAD, MADE CONTACT WITH THAT STEEL GUARDRAIL. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> WHAT WOULD YOU SAY MYSTERIO’S GIVEN AWAY, 40 POUNDS, 50 POUNDS, SIX, SEVEN INCHES IN HEIGHT MAYBE OR FIVE INCHES? >> IT LOOKS LIKE PROBABLY AT LEAST 40 POUNDS. >> YEAH. TO COME UP THE TOP ROPE LIKE THAT. >> THAT SURE AND THE MISSILE DROPKICK AND HE HURT HIS KNEE AS WELL, AS YOU CAN SEE. JERICHO… >> OF COURSE, YOU WILL. >> WELL, YOU COULD HURT AN ANKLE BUT THAT TIME, HE LANDED ON HIS KNEE AND HE ROLLS MYSTERIO IN. JERICHO TRYING TO TELL THE WORLD WHAT HE’S MADE UP, NOT NECESSARILY TO TRY TO MAKE A PIN HERE BUT USE A VARIETY OF MOVES TO SHOW THE WORLD THAT HE IS A COMPLETE WRESTLER. SOMETHING NO ONE HAS EVER DENIED. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> MYSTERIO FIGHTS OFF THE SUPLEX. >> HOW ABOUT THAT? >> HAS ENOUGH POWER TO TAKE JERICHO BACK OVER. >> THAT 40 POUNDS DIDN’T MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE THERE, DID IT? >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> BACKFLIP. ONE, TWO… >> HMM. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> A TWO-COUNT. BOTH MEN SLOW TO GET UP. JERICHO, THE FIRST MAN, HE RUNS OVER REY MYSTERIO. YOU CERTAINLY–WHEN YOU HAVE A SIZE DISADVANTAGE AND REY MYSTERIO OBVIOUSLY DOES IN MANY OF HIS MATCHES, YOU GIVE UP A GREAT DEAL OF NOT ONLY WEIGHT AND STRENGTH, BUT WHEN A GUY WITH A WEIGHT ADVANTAGE CAN GET THAT MOMENTUM, IT’S EASY PICKING WITH A LARIAT, OR CLOTHESLINE IF YOU WILL, TO SEND A MAN DOWN. AND LOOK AT THIS, MIKE. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT? >> THAT’S A UNIQUE PACKAGE. AND IT ALMOST LIKE–ALMOST LIKE AN OCTOPUS-TYPE SUBMISSION HOLD. >> THAT’S USUALLY DONE AT A DOCTOR’S TABLE? >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> OH, MY. >> NO, I’M JUST–I–I’VE–WE’RE GUESSING. >> I DON’T KNOW EITHER. >> WE’LL SEE A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT. MAYBE WE COULD CALL IT THE MAKE A WISH. >> MAYBE THAT’S WHAT YOU CAN CALL IT BECAUSE HE WAS STRETCHING THE GROIN AREA THERE NOW, WASN’T HE? >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> MAYBE A CORONER’S TABLE. >> BACK INTO THE CORNER. AND WE’VE SEEN A LOT OF NEW THINGS FROM JERICHO HERE–RUNS INTO MYSTERIO. >> OH. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> AND MYSTERIO DOWN TO THE HEAT. YOU KNOW, IT SEEMS THAT JERICHO CAN WIN THIS ANYTIME HE WANTS. >> ARE YOU READY? >> SO, HE SCREAMS THAT “ARE YOU READY?” DON’T UNDERESTIMATE REY MYSTERIO JR. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE DONE THAT? AND JERICHO’S BEEN HERE LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER. HE SIDE-STEPPED AND DID REY–UP–OH MY GOODNESS. HE LANDED ON HIS FEET. OH. >> OH, LOOK AT THIS. >> PHENOMENAL BALANCE. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> HEAD SCISSORS TAKEOVER BY MYSTERIO. >> HE’S STILL ALIVE. SETS HIM UP. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> HE SURELY GIVES UP THE WEIGHT, BUT HE MAKES UP FOR WITH THE AGILITY, WITH BEING ABLE TO LAND ON HIS FEET WITH THE QUICKNESS, WITH THE EXPLOSIVE MOVES THAT HE COULD EXECUTE. A COUPLE OF KICKS TO KEEP JERICHO DOWN. HE’S UP ON TOP. OH, MY. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> ONE, TWO… >> NO. >> COULDN’T HOLD HIM DOWN. >> SPRINGBOARD INTO A SPLIT-LEGGED MOONSAULT. NEVER QUITE SEEN IT DONE THAT WAY. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> THAT ELBOW SHOT HAD LITTLE EFFECT ON JERICHO, SO JERICHO REVERSES TRENDS ON HIM, HOLDS ONTO HIM. >> OH. >> AND THERE’S THE WEIGHT ADVANTAGE WE TALKED ABOUT. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> COMING INTO PLAY, YOU SAW IT. HE CAUGHT THE MAN TRYING TO SCOOT UNDER THE LEGS AND THEN JUST THREW THE MAN OVER THE TOP. >> THAT WAS A RELEASED… >> GERMAN SUPLEX AND THE SHOULDER UP BY MYSTERIO, AGAIN AT TWO. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> OH, WHAT A PHYSICAL MATCHUP WE’RE SEEING. AND THIS IS–THIS REALLY EXEMPLIFIES WHAT THE CRUISERWEIGHT DIVISION IS ALL ABOUT. FIERCE COMPETITION, QUICK MOVES, NEVER SAY DIE. THE ATHLETES, JUVENTUD, REY MYSTERIO–YEAH, EVEN CHRIS JERICHO, DEAN MALENKO. JERICHO HIT HARD. HIT HIS KNEES AGAIN THE SECOND TIME NOW. HE’S IN HIS KNEE ON THE OUTSIDE. IT COULD BE AN OPENING HERE FOR REY MYSTERIO JR. >> GREAT DECEPTIVE MOVE BY MYSTERIO TO DROP DOWN AND AVOID THAT DROPKICK. >> HE’S UP ON TOP… >> WHOA. >> …WHO HAS WHOM HERE? IT’S MYSTERIO HOLDING ON. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> AND FANS ERUPT ON THAT SPECTACULAR MOVE. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> EVERY WEEK, THEY SHOW US SOMETHING NEW. MORE THAN ONE THING TOO. >> BUTTERFLY PICK-UP AND A BACKBREAKER WITH EASE. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> DRIVING THE KNEE RIGHT INTO THE SMALL [INDISTINCT] BACK. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> JERICHO SHOWBOATING HERE. POISE NOW. STILL LIMITED NUMBER OF ATTEMPTED PINS HERE BY CHRIS JERICHO. INTO THE ROPES, PICKS HIM UP. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> HOLDS THE HAIR, HOLDS THE BACK OF THE HEAD, SMASHES THE FACE OF JERICHO, FLAT INTO THE MAT, AND HERE HE GOES. CALLING FOR HIS MOVE. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> JERICHO’S STILL ALIVE THOUGH. >> HE’S UP. >> OH. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> JERICHO PULLED THE REFEREE, RIGHT IN THE WAY OF THE MOVE. >> THAT COULD’VE BROKEN THE NECK OF MARK CURTIS. THAT’S HORRIBLE. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> AND CURTIS IS OUT. HE’S OUT COLD. NOW–OH. >> NO ONE THERE TO COUNT THOUGH. >> NO ONE THERE TO COUNT, HE’S GOT HIM CAUGHT. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> GOING TO GO FOR THE LIONTAMER. >> HOW ABOUT IT WITH THE REFEREE OUT? >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> LIONTAMER… >> MYSTERIO HOOKING BUT THERE’S NO REFEREE. >> ONE, TWO… >> YES, THERE IS ONE. >> …TWO, THREE. >> IT’S MALENKO. >> [BELL RINGING] >> MALENKO PINNED HIM OUT. THAT’S THE WAY TO DO IT. SURE. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> THERE’S YOUR REFEREE. STURGIS, ROAD WILD, JERICHO, THE EYES OF ICE. >> REY MYSTERIO JR. GETS A WIN HERE ON NITRO WITH AN INTERIM REFEREE, DEAN MALENKO. >> OH, HE’S THROWING ANOTHER TANTRUM NOW. >> TANTRUM TIME IS RIGHT. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> NO. DON’T TOUCH ME. >> YEAH, YOU DESERVE EVERYTHING YOU GET, YOU JERK. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> AND A WIN FOR REY MYSTERIO JR. NOW, WHEN THE TITLE’S ON THE LINE THIS SATURDAY–DID HE DECK PENZER? >> NO, PENZER JUST FELL ASLEEP. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> HE’S DECKED DAVID PENZER AND HE WALKS ON. THIS SATURDAY, HE’LL PUT THE BELT UP AGAINST JUVENTUD… >> [MUSIC] >> …THAT GUEST REFEREE AGAIN WILL BE DEAN MALENKO. >> I’M LOOKING INTO THE RING RIGHT NOW AND MAKE SURE THERE’S NO CHANGE [INDISTINCT] HIS POCKETS. YOU KNOW THOSE REFEREES… >> [MUSIC] >> ALL RIGHT. WELCOME BACK, EVERYONE. I WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER THE 11TH, WCW RETURNS TO CINCINNATI [INDISTINCT] WITH A BIG NIGHT OF WRESTLING.

TWO OF THE MOST DISGUSTING MEN IN THE HISTORY OF NWO HOLLYWOOD HAVE TO BE THE DUO OF SCOTT STEINER AND BUFF BAGWELL. HOW LOW CAN THEY GO? TAKE A LOOK AT LAST WEEK. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> YOU SEE THAT SCAR, GENE? THAT’S SOMEBODY GOING IN INFUSING C-3 AND C-4. THIS INJURY ISN’T FAKE. I WANT EVERYBODY OUT THERE TO KNOW THAT THIS IS A PLANNED ATTACK. TELL THEM, PUNK DADDY. >> YOU KNOW, MEAN GENE, I BEAT MY BROTHER UP IN THE BACKYARD, I BEAT HIM UP IN HIGH SCHOOL, I BEAT HIM UP IN COLLEGE, AND IF HE WANTS ME TO BEAT HIM UP IN THE STURGIS, I’LL BEAT HIM THERE TOO, BUT I’LL BE PRAYING FOR IT. >> YOU WERE HURT ABOUT AS BAD AS A WRESTLER CAN POSSIBLY BE HURT IN THIS PROFESSION. I KNOW BECAUSE I WORK WITH THE DOCTORS THAT PUT YOU BACK TOGETHER AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE POURED THEIR HEARTS AND EMOTIONS OUT ABOUT AND CARED ABOUT YOU AND THIS IS HOW YOU SHOW YOUR GRATITUDE?

WELL, THE CHALLENGE IS IN PLACE FOR THIS SATURDAY. JJ DILLON, HEAD OF THE WCW EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, SAID THAT HE WAS GOING TO DO EVERYTHING WITHIN HIS POWER TO MAKE THE MATCHUP. >> LOOK AT JJ REAL CLOSE THAT TIME WITH THOSE RED GLASSES. I BELIEVE THAT’S SALLY JESSE RAPHAEL [INDISTINCT] >> [MUSIC] >> SPEAKING OF NEW LOWS. >> YOU KNOW, LAST MONDAY NITRO I CAME OUT HERE ALL COCKY TELLING EVERYBODY HOW BIG MY ARMS WERE. TELLING EVERYBODY THAT THE BLOOD THAT FLOWS THROUGH VEINS WAS BLACK AND WHITE. BUT THAT MONDAY NIGHT WHEN I GOT HOME, I GOT A PHONE CALL, AND I’M NOT GONNA GO INTO GREAT DETAIL, BUT MY MOTHER LET ME KNOW THAT I WASN’T BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE IN THIS WORLD, THAT THE BLOOD THAT FLOWS THROUGH MY VEINS WASN’T BLACK AND RED, BLACK AND WHITE. AND THAT THE BLOOD IN MY BONES, MY BODY, WAS RED JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE HERE IN THE BUILDING TONIGHT. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> YOU KNOW, THERE’S NOTHING LIKE A MOTHER’S LOVE AND IT’S HARD FOR ME RIGHT NOW TO TELL YOU EXACTLY INTO WORDS HOW I FEEL SO I’M JUST GONNA SHOW YOU. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> WHAT IS–WHAT IS HE DOING HERE? >> THIS SHIRT RIGHT HERE IS FOR LIFE, BUT IT’S NOT FOR ME.

HOLD ON HERE, IT’S JUST ANOTHER NWO CHARADE. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> WE’VE ALL FALLEN FOR IT AGAIN. I MEAN, FOR A MOMENT, IT SEEMED THAT SCOTTY WAS SINCERE. >> [MUSIC] >> HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY. RICKY, RICKY, RICKY, RICKY. SHAKE. HERE YOU GO. >> HE’S OBEDIENT. >> ROLL OVER. ROLL OVER. THAT WAS GOOD. THAT WAS GOOD. COME ON, CLAP. THAT WAS GOOD. HE CAN ALSO SPEAK, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. HE CAN SPEAK. RICKY, I WANT YOU TO TELL ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WAS THE LEADER OF THE STEINER BROTHERS? WAIT A SECOND, WAIT A SECOND. THIS IS MY BROTHER, I’M GONNA SAY A LITTLE BIT SLOWER. RICKY, WHO WAS THE LEADER OF THE STEINER BROTHERS? >> ARF, ARF. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> RICKY, RICKY, RICKY, RICKY, RICKY, RICKY, RICKY, RICKY, HERE WE GO.

JUST REMEMBER, IF IT WASN’T FOR ME YOU AND THAT GARBAGE COLLECTING HUSBAND OF YOURS, YOU’D BE SLIPPING DRINKS IN SOME TOPLESS BAR IN A TOWN NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD OF. IF IT WASN’T FOR ME, YOU REMEMBER THAT. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> HOLD HER OFF. >> WAIT, THAT’S–WELL, WE DON’T NEED TO SHOW THIS. WELL, LET–WE DON’T WANNA SHOW… >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> OH, MY GOODNESS. HE’S GONNA SNAP. >> YEAH, HE’S [INDISTINCT] AND THEY’RE HOLDING HIM BACK. THEY’RE JUST HOLDING THEM DOWN. >> LOOKS LIKE SIR GALAHAD IS ABOUT READY TO GET HIS — KICKED AGAIN. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> AND SO DDP, I WANT YOU TO HEAR EVERY WORD OF THIS. HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY GIANT. BE CAREFUL. LOOKS LIKE HIS HEAD’S GONNA POP. OH, WHAT’S THE MATTER, KIMBERLY? OH, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS–THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU’RE UNGRATEFUL. I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER, PAGE. HE CAN’T HELP YOU. –, HE CAN’T EVEN HELP HIMSELF. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> HEY, TELL ME, IS IT TRUE WHAT I READ IN PENTHOUSE ABOUT YOU? IS IT TRUE THAT YOU ARE THE MOST ACTIVE NITRO GIRL OF THEM ALL? >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> COME ON, YOU GOT A CLIENT TONIGHT, KIMBERLY. WHAT YOU GOT TO SAY FOR YOURSELF? OH, KIMBERLY, I’LL COME TO YOUR RESCUE. PAGE. OH, LET ME AT HIM, LET ME AT HIM. OH, PAGE. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> YOU KNOW, IF THERE’S ONE THING THAT EVERYBODY IN HERE KNOWS ESPECIALLY HOLLYWOOD’S NWO, DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT YOUR OLD LADY IS BLACK AND WHITE FROM HEAD TO TOE, RIGHT GUYS? >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> AND YOU KNOW SOMETHING, KIMBERLY?

THAT THIS–THAT’S THE LOWEST–THAT’S THE LOWEST POINT I CAN REMEMBER THAT’S STILL GOING AND OBVIOUSLY, IT WILL BE IN THE HANDS OF NWO HOLLYWOOD. >> WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? >> SO I DON’T … >> PATHETIC DISPLAY, THAT’S ALL YOU CAN SAY. >> I–ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS THINKING OF WAS JAY LENO GETTING INVOLVED IN SOMETHING THAT’S VOLATILE. I MEAN, THIS IS SERIOUS AND, YOU KNOW, LENO, WHO’S AGREED TO GET IN THE RING, DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE HAS TRAINED HIM. DOES HE REALIZE–JAY LENO, DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU’VE GOTTEN YOURSELF INTO? >> JAY LENO, I’VE BEEN IN THIS SPORT 33 YEARS. I KNOW WHAT THIS MAN–HOLLYWOOD HOGAN IS CAPABLE OF. HE’S THE ONE THAT DESTROYED AND HURT MY NECK. BELIEVE ME, BE CAREFUL WHAT THIS MAN CAN DO. BE CAREFUL OF YOURSELF. FEAR THIS MAN. THEY’RE NOT JUST KIDDING. THEY MEAN BUSINESS. >> I APOLOGIZE IF YOU WERE OFFENDED BY THAT, YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN. BUT THAT’S WHAT THEY ARE, THAT’S ALL THEY ARE. THAT’S ALL NWO HOLLYWOOD IS ABOUT, GANGING UP ON PEOPLE, LYING, CHEATING. THEY BELONG–THEY BELONG ON A–FANS, COMING UP THIS SATURDAY AT ROAD WILD, HOGAN AND BISCHOFF, TWO OF THE LOWEST FORMS OF LIFE YOU’LL EVER SEE WILL GET IN THE RING. DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE AS YOU CAN SEE BY NOW WITH EXTRA ADDED INCENTIVE WILL TEAM WITH JAY LENO. THE EVENT WILL BE OVER THREE HOURS. GONNA GIVE YOU YOUR ALLOTMENT OF WRESTLING. AND THEN, WE’RE GONNA SEE THIS MAN IN CONCERT, TRAVIS TRITT, HIS GREATEST HITS, FROM THE BEGINNING CD WHICH WENT PLATINUM RECENTLY. THERE IT IS, WE’RE GONNA GIVE THIS TO YOU, BRAIN. THERE’S A–NUMBER NINE ON THE BACK OF THERE, BACK OF THAT–ONE OF HIS FAMOUS HITS, TROUBLE, T-R-O-U-B-L-E, AND WE SAW A LOT OF IT IN THE RING JUST A FEW MOMENTS AGO. >> YES, WE’RE ASKING IF JAY LENO REALIZES WHAT HE’S GETTING INVOLVED WITH THIS SATURDAY. DOES ERIC BISCHOFF REALIZE THAT HE ALSO IS GONNA BE IN THE RING WITH DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE AT ROAD WILD? >> ONE OF OUR JOBS UP HERE, REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENS IN THE RING OR HOW LOW THEY GET, IT’S OUR JOB TO TRY TO GET THAT. BESIDES, IT’S HARD TO DO, BEYOND THIS AND MOVE ON. WILL STING SHOW UP? WHERE IS HE FOR THE MAIN EVENT? FANS, WE DON’T KNOW. BUT EARLIER IN THIS PROGRAM, GOLDBERG, THE WORLD CHAMPION CAME OUT TO ANSWER CHALLENGES. CAME OUT TO ISSUE CHALLENGES AND SAID THE NAME OF STING. STING CAME OUT, NWO HOLLYWOOD CAME OUT, AND IT WAS THE LAST WE SAW OF STING. HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED EARLIER HERE ON NITRO. >> SATURDAY, ROAD WILD, PAYBACK TIME. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> I’VE THROWN MY HAT IN THE RING FOR THE NWO’S LITTLE BATTLE ROYAL. FOR ONE REASON AND ONE REASON ONLY, THE GIANT. >> WHOA. >> AND I DON’T CARE WHO I HAVE TO DESTROY TO GET TO HIM. WHETHER IT’D BE HALL, WHETHER IT’D BE NASH, WHETHER IT’D BE THE DISCIPLE, BRIAN ADAMS, I DON’T CARE. OR WHETHER IT’D BE THE FRANCHISE, THEY CALL STING. BECAUSE I GOT ONE THING TO SAY, GIANT. AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS? >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> YOU’RE NEXT. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> AND I BET YOU’RE SAYING [INDISTINCT] FRIENDLY. >> ANYBODY, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. >> WHOA. WHOA-OH. WHOA-OH. JUST A SECOND. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> AND AS THEY WENT NOSE TO NOSE EARLIER TONIGHT, LEAFLETS FROM NWO HOLLYWOOD, THE BLACK AND WHITE FELL FROM THE CEILING. THEY SAID, WHO’S NEXT? GOLDBERG, YOU’RE NEXT. AND THEN, OUT COMES NWO HOLLYWOOD AND AS GOLDBERG AND STING OF NWO WOLFPAC WERE NOSE TO NOSE, GOLDBERG DID NOT BACK DOWN FROM THE CHALLENGE. >> ABSOLUTELY NOT, TONY. AND HERE COMES GOLDBERG AND THERE GO MEMBERS OF THE NWO BLACK AND WHITE. >> AND HE’S NOT BACKING UP, HE’S WALKING RIGHT THROUGH ‘EM. THEY’RE DROPPING LIKE FLIES. LOOK AT BRET HART. >> BRET HART… >> STAYS OUT OF THE WAY, PUTS HIS BACK AGAINST THE WALL. AND HE WENT OUT TO CONFRONT STING WHO HAD NO PART OF IT. SHOVED HIM AWAY FROM THERE, HE WALKED OUT, SAW LUGER A SEGMENT LATER, FACE DOWN AND THEN WALKED OUT OF THE BUILDING. AS A MATTER OF FACT, LET’S SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER THE COMMERCIAL BREAK. AS HE WALKS BACK, LUGER IS FACE DOWN. HE LOOKS, HE CHECKS ON LUGER TO SEE IF HE’S OKAY. OBVIOUSLY, OUT. EVEN LOOKED LIKE THERE WAS A MARK DOWN HIS FOREHEAD. I DON’T KNOW IF HE SAID SOMETHING TO HIM OR LISTENED TO HIM BUT STING TURNED, THOUGHT FOR A SECOND, AND THEN WALKED OUT OF THE BACK OF THE BUILDING. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING THROUGH HIS MIND? AND WILL HE SHOW UP? WHEN WE COME BACK IN OUR FEATURE BOUT. >> WHERE IS HE GOING? >> THIS PORTION OF WCW MONDAY NITRO IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY MASTER LOCK. PUT A TOUGH NEW MASTER LOCK IN YOUR CORNER. >> [MUSIC] >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> [BELL RINGING] >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT’S TIME FOR THE WCW MONDAY NITRO MAIN EVENT. TONIGHT, A TAG TEAM MATCH LIKE NO OTHER IN THE HISTORY OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING. ARE YOU READY? >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> MILE-HIGH CITY, ARE YOU READY? >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> FOR THE MILLIONS WATCHING AROUND THE WORLD AND THE THOUSANDS RIGHT HERE IN THE HOME OF THE SUPER BOWL CHAMPION, BRONCOS, DENVER, COLORADO. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE. >> [MUSIC] >> AND AFTER THE DISGUSTING, LOW LIFE SCENE THAT WE SAW MOMENTS AGO, IF I COULD PUT A PERSONAL STAMP ON THIS, I DON’T KNOW WHO’S GONNA COME OUT HERE TO BE HONEST WITH YOU BUT I HOPE WHOEVER IT IS… >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… >> …STOMPS THEM IN THE GROUND. >> …COMING TO THE RING AT THIS TIME, AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF EIGHT HUNDRED TWENTY-THREE AND ONE HALF POUNDS, REPRESENTING NWO HOLLYWOOD. FIRST WEIGHING 282 POUNDS FROM CHULUOTA, FLORIDA. ONE OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF THE ORIGINAL, NEW WORLD ORDER, HE’S THE MASTER OF THE OUTSIDER’S EDGE, HE IS SCOTT HALL. >> [MUSIC] >> AND HIS PARTNER, AT FIVE HUNDRED FORTY-ONE AND ONE HALF POUNDS, THE ULTIMATE SUPER BIG MAN OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING, THE MASTER OF THE CHOKESLAM, GIANT. TOGETHER, THEY ARE THE REIGNING WCW NWO TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD. >> [MUSIC] >> YOU SAY 541 POUNDS? >> FIVE-FORTY-ONE AND A HALF. >> OH, EXCUSE ME, MR. TENAY, I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN. YOU WEIGHED HIM. >> HEY, Y’ALL. HEY Y’ALL, ONE QUICK SURVEY. HOW MANY PEOPLE HERE IN DENVER ARE SICK AND CRYING, SICK AND TIRED, EXCUSE ME. >> THERE’S NO CRYING IN WRESTLING. >> SOMEBODY TELL KEVIN NASH TO QUIT ACTING LIKE A BIG BABY AND START ACTING LIKE A MAN. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> FANS, I DON’T KNOW–I DON’T KNOW WHO’S GONNA BE COMING OUT. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO LUGER AND STING. STING LEFT THE BUILDING. >> WELL, YOU GOT ME. I GUESS IT’S TIME WE GET ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED. >> WELL, BRET HART SAID THAT HE WANTED TO TAKE THE MATCH. HE WANTED TO BE STING’S PARTNER. >> COMING TO THE RING AT THIS TIME… >> WELL, THERE HE IS. >> …REPRESENTING THE RED AND BLACK OF THE… >> HE CAN’T REPRESENT THE–WHAT? WELL, THAT STOPPED MICHAEL BUFFER IN HIS TRACKS. >> EXCUSE ME, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, NOW, COMING TO THE RING, MAKING AN UNSCHEDULED ENTRANCE. THE MAN FROM CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA WHO CALLS HIMSELF, “THE BEST THERE IS, THE BEST THERE EVER WAS, THE BEST THERE EVER WILL BE.” HE IS BRET “HITMAN” HART. >> THE SAME MAN WHO WAS SEEN TALKING TO SCOTT HALL. NOW, WHO IN THE WORLD IS COMING OUT? WHERE IN THE WORLD IS STING? HAS HE–HAS HE COME BACK? DOES HE–CAN ANYBODY ANSWER? >> I DON’T KNOW. >> FANS, WE’RE GONNA TRY TO SORT IT OUT. COME ON BACK WITH–FOR GOODNESS SAKES. >> [MUSIC] >> WE’RE BACK AND WE HAVE NO IDEA WHERE STING IS, WHERE HE WENT. >> BUT SOMETHING IS STIRRING IN THIS BUILDING. >> [MUSIC] >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> WAIT. WELL, THERE HE IS. >> THAT IS HIM. AND THAT’S… >> THAT’S HIS OLD MUSIC, TONY. >> THAT’S RIGHT. THAT’S NOT NWO WOLFPAC MUSIC. >> [MUSIC] >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN–LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IN THE HOUSE–IN THE HOUSE, THIS IS STING. >> WELL, YEAH, IT’S IN THE HOUSE BUT HE’S GOT A WHITE–THAT’S WHITE–THAT’S HIS OLD WHITE STING FACE PAINT. >> REFEREE IN CHARGE OF THE ACTION, MICKIE JAY, THIS IS ALL YOURS. >> HE’S REVERTED BACK TO HIS OLD SELF. HE’S GOT THE BALL BAT. HE’S GOT THE BLACK AND WHITE FACE PAINT AND THAT’S THE OLD STING. >> AND HE CAME FROM THE RAFTERS, WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT? >> [MUSIC] >> HE SHOVES BRET HART OUT OF THE WAY WITH THAT BAT. MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT. THIS IS STING WHO CAME OUT WITH RED PAINT ON EARLIER AND NOW, IS WHITE. >> [BELL RINGING] >> SOMEONE–WHAT IT… >> ALMOST LIKE A REBIRTH OF STING. >> THERE’S–THAT’S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE BUT THERE’S ONLY ONE MAN THAT CAN ANSWER THE REAL REASON HERE AND THAT’S THE MAN HIMSELF. >> I THINK WHEN HE SAW HIS FRIEND AND–OLD TIME FRIEND, A LONG-TIME FRIEND, LUGER, LAYING ON THE FLOOR IN THE HEAP THERE, I THINK HE SNAPPED. SOMETHING WENT OFF INSIDE STING’S MIND. >> BUT IF NOTHING ELSE, HE AND BRET HART WILL BE A TAG TEAM AGAINST SCOTT HALL AND THE GIANT. TRUST BETWEEN HART AND STING, AS FAR AS STING IS CONCERNED, I’M SURE NOT. BUT ONE OF THE SHOCKERS, ONE OF OUR BIGGEST SHOCKERS EVER ON NITRO HAS JUST BEEN LAID AT OUR FEET AS STING DESCENDS FROM THE RAFTERS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MANY, MANY MONTHS WITH HIS OLD STING MUSIC, WITH HIS BASEBALL BAT AND THE WHITE FACE PAINT. >> AND YOU CAN TELL THAT THIS CAPACITY CROWD HERE IN DENVER IS SHOCKED AS WELL. JUST BY THE REACTION WHEN HE ARRIVED IN THE RING. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> BOY, BRET HART–VERY TENTATIVE IN HOOKING UP HERE. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> WITH SCOTT HALL. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> ELEMENTARY MOVE, FULL ON ARM DRAGON TWIST WITH TO A HAMMER LOCK. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> AND BRET HART USING THE TECHNIQUES THAT MADE HIM ONE OF THE GREATS IN THIS SPORT. AND OF COURSE HAS THE ATTITUDE THAT’S MADE HIM ONE OF THE MOST DESPISED, THE FULL ARM DRAG AND TWIST NOW. STING DIDN’T EVEN REACH THE HAND. WOULD NOT EVEN MAKE THE TAG. >> STING DOESN’T TRUST HIM. >> BRET HART TAGS STING IN. THAT’S THE ONLY WAY HE CAME IN WAS BRET HART TO GO AT HIM AND STING WOULD NOT EXTEND THE HAND AT ALL. >> WHOA! BIG FELLA! >> AND STING LAYS WASTE TO BOTH MEMBERS OF THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS. >> THIS IS THE OLD STING, ALL RIGHT. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> UP, HEAD FIRST. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> RUNS OVER TOP UP HIM WITH A LARIAT. STEPS THROUGH IT. GOING FOR THE SCORPION DEATH LOCK IN, QUICKLY SCOTT HALL IS OUT OF IT. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> BUT STING HAS COME IN WITH A NEW FOUND INTENSITY. NOW, LET’S NOT FORGET THE DEMEANOR ON STING WITH THE RED FACE PAINT. THE OLD STING AS FAR AS THE ATTITUDE, THE YELLING, THE SCREAM–OH, MY. THE SCREAMING HAD BEEN BACK. HE WAS SHOWING EMOTION AND NOW THIS STING THAT DESCENDS FROM A TOP, FROM THE RAFTERS, IS THE MYSTERIOUS STING AGAIN, NO EMOTION. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> WELL, THE NWO BLACK AND WHITE JUST SANDWICH STING THAT TIME. GIANT FROM OUTSIDE THE RING, SCOTT HALL FROM INSIDE. >> MIKE, I DON’T SEE BRET HART MAKING ANY BIG EFFORT TRYING TO GET STING TO TAG HIM. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> I THINK WHAT WE HAVE HERE, A VERY OBVIOUS TWO SINGLES WORKING ALONE HERE. STING AND BRET HART AGAINST THE GIANT AND SCOTT HALL. REPEATED BLOWS TO THE TOP TURN BUCKLE. THAT’S THE BACK OF THE NECK AND THAT’S THE TOP OF THE SHOULDER BLADES. SCARY PAINFUL AND STEPS DOWN THE THROAT. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> STEP OFF THE MAN’S THROAT! >> FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY PLUS POUNDS. DID YOU SAY? >> FIVE FORTY-ONE AND A HALF. >> FIVE FORTY-ONE IS WHAT WE HEARD. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> THE MAN’S ALMOST GAINED A HUNDRED POUNDS IN TWO YEARS. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> OH. AND I MEAN THAT’S MUSCLE TOO BOYS. FROM THE MOST POWERFUL MEN IN OUR SPORT, THE GIANT TAGS IN SCOTT HALL. >> [INDISTINCT] >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> COVER–ONE, TWO. GOT A TWO COUNT. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> YEAH, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE STRENGTH OF THE GIANT, JUST ASK GOLDBERG. >> STING MYSTERIOUSLY WALKED OUT OF THE BUILDING DURING THE FIRST HOUR. AND THEN DESCENDED BACK IN A DIFFERENT MAN. BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE, IN THIS ERA THAT WE HAVE SEEN MANY BOGUS STINGS, PAINT THEIR FACE TO PRETEND TO BE THE MAN, THIS IS STING. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> YOU FANS HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING OUR SPORT AND KNOW IT ON SITE NOW. AND REGARDLESS OF THE RED OR EVEN THE WHITE FACE PAINT THAT WE’RE SEEING FROM–WHO KNOWS WHERE TONIGHT THE GIANT NOW–IS BRET HART HELPING MATTERS? NOT AT ALL. >> NO, HE ISN’T. HE’S JUST STAYING ON THE APRON THERE. HE’S TAKING THE REF WITH HIM ALONG THE GIANT TO CHOKE STING. THAT’S NOT HELPING HIM. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> MEANWHILE, STING AT THE FEET OF THESE TWO MEN OF NWO HOLLYWOOD. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> STING’S WHITE FACE PAINT REMINDS OF A TIME WHERE STING WAS ALONE. WHERE STING BROUGHT THE TITLE BACK TO WCW AND MET A LOT OF CONTROVERSY. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> OH. >> THE FALLAWAY SLAM. SCOTT HALL MAKES A COVER. BUT ALSO LET US NOT FORGET THAT WHEN LUGER WENT ACROSS THE NWO WOLFPAC, STING FOLLOWED HIM THERE. AND IT WAS THE OLD STING, AND NOW, THE ONLY THING I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE HERE TONIGHT, HOPEFULLY ON THUNDER ON WEDNESDAY, WE WILL GET SOME CLEAR CUT ANSWERS AS TO WHY THIS ALL WENT DOWN THE WAY AND WENT DOWN TONIGHT. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> [INDISTINCT] TRIES TO KEEP STING DOWN. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> OH, BRET IS MAKING–HE’S MAKING AN EFFORT TO MAKE THAT TAG. >> YEAH, THAT’S A CHANGE. AT LEAST BRET HART TRYING TO COME IN AND THEN NOW STOPPED BY THE REFEREE. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> STING BOUNCES BACK TO THE GIANT INTO THE MID-SECTION, 500 PLUS POUNDS SLEDGEHAMMER BLOWS ON THE BACK OF STING. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> [INDISTINCT] STING, A RESURGENCE AGAIN. >> HE’S ALL ALONE. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> YEAH, IT’S BEEN A ONE ON TWO. SO WHY NOT TAKE A LOW ROAD? >> A MAN HAS TO DO WHAT A MAN HAS TO DO. >> YOU’RE NOT KIDDING. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> TRYING TO–AND HE DODGED. >> OH. >> SEND THE GIANT OUTSIDE–SCOTT HALL GETS HIM FROM BEHIND. HOW ABOUT THAT OVER THE TOP? THE GIANT ROCKING THE [INDISTINCT] >> AND NOW HERE COMES BRET HART. >> HE’S GOT STINGS BALL BACK. >> AND HE WHACKED SCOTT HALL. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> AND I’M NOT… >> HE WAS SURPRISED. >> I THINK HE IS. >> STING’S GOING TO MAKE IT. ONE, TWO, THREE. >> [BELL DINGS] >> STING AND BRET HART WIN THIS MATCH UP. >> BRET HART, HE’S LEAVING. HE’S LEAVING. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> DID HE WANT TO WHACK STING OR SCOTT HALL? >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> [BELL DINGS] >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> MICKIE JAY HAS CALLED FOR THE BELL. >> [CROWD CHATTER] >> BRET HART IS TAKING THE TAG TITLE BELTS. >> AND THEY’RE NOT DONE WITH STING YET. >> I THINK… >> OH. >> …I THINK WHAT MICKIE JAY HAS DONE IS REVERSE [INDISTINCT] IS WHAT HE’S DONE. BUT BRET HART HAS WALKED AWAY WITH THE TAG TEAM BELTS. THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED. WE HAVE NO CHANGING OF THE GUARD HERE FOR THE TAG TEAM BELTS, IT’S BEEN REVERSED EVEN THOUGH STING DID PIN. SCOTT HALL, I BELIEVE THAT FAUX BELT WAS MEANT FOR STING. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> AND BRET HART HAS WALKED AWAY WITH THE BELTS. >> YOU DON’T SEE BRET HART GETTING PHYSICALLY INVOLVED HERE TO SAVE STING, DO YOU? >> NO, NO. IT WAS MEANT FOR STING. BUT STING JUST GOT OUT OF THE WAY. >> [INDISTINCT] >> STING NEEDS SOME HELP. >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> GOLDBERG! >> HERE COMES GOLDBERG! >> [CROWD CHEERING] >> HERE HE COMES. WE’RE OUT OF TIME.

Goldberg 94 ovr for a 35 year old
1998 The Battle of WCW vs nWo Hollywood vs nWo Wolfpac vs The Flock Continues
WCW/nWo Revenge Out Now For The Nintendo 64
What a great Nitro during peak WCW. And gosh, Kim Page was such a hottie.
RIP HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN RANDY Savage RIP Scott HALL RIP MS ELIZABETH & RIP MEAN GENE
I remember this Nitro like it was yesterday. I thought Sting left the Wolfpac and was sad all week… but man, people can say what they want about Bret Hart and his WCW run… I LOVED it. And this dude had SOOO MUCH SWAG. Look at his intro by Michael Buffer… 1:58:59
Scott Norton needs subtitles
Using the dark Knight theme as the intro..noice
Y so serious 😈🥃🃏
Goldberg was one heck of a World Champion in 98. Da man.
Crow/Wolfpac Sting > Surfer Sting
Using The Piledriver as a Finishing Wrestling Hold is a Automatic Disqualification and a Fined of $10,000 Under the ANDY KAUFMAN RULE in the WWE (World Wrestling Enterprises)
GILLBERG! GILLBERG! GILLBERG!
Of all of the bad storylines in WCW, I think Bret Hart pretending to be Sting's friend has to be in my top five. You could see the betrayal coming from MILES away, and this went on for WEEKS!
Pure agony watching this.
Chasing That W at Archive (Type that in G)
Bret holding a title other than a championship in WWF seems strange.
WCW 4EVER 🔥🔥 NWO HOLLYWOOD BLACK & WHITE 4LIFE 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍
Now we're feeding Barbarian to DDP 😂😂 10:00 Go Jimmy Hart 😂😂
This Goldberg is such a fluke,that he even couldn't give strong Brian Adams a proper speer for the second time 😂😂😂😂
You can definitely tell DDP had a hard time caring about this Leno match given his body language. That was a horrendous promo per his standards.
Wcw portrays goldberg as a one man army, never understood why he needed to be escorted by a group of cops
LOL Bret Hart was such a terrible promo or mic guy either in WWF or WCW, Vince was so right to dump his legacy into the shitter.
Can you please just upload these in order, so many episodes missing from 97
No one's ever been afraid of William Goldboig
Goldberg is the greatest!!🎉
Johnny Blaize was the greatest Cruiserweight Champion of all time we want to see all the Johnny Blaize matches vs Psychosis
All these episodes from the wcw I was recording on video live from TNT CHANNEL! They were so beautiful memories! This union wcw was the best in those years from 1995 to 2000.
44:20 didn't know JD Vance wrestled
The longest winning 173 streak in wrestling history, spanning over 25 years, and no one has been able to break it , icon goldberg
Wow, nobody came to help DDP either
Scott and Buff were so underrated as a double act
please post the Nitro's in order
ahaha buff 😂😂😆
Bret hart is the rodney danderfild of wrestling
They own the music, why can't we have DDP's intro?! 😡
Hogan trying to flirt with Kimberly was kind of creepy. Plus, given that he was married to Linda at the time, even I am like, "Geez, Terry, Linda wasn’t giving you good loving?" Remember, Linda was pretty hot back in the day.
And yes, I know it was a work, but still.
