00:00One week ago, at the end of Monday Nitro, Ric Flair tried to confront the NWO.
00:07But as Hall, Nash, and
00:08Sixx were pounding the former World Heavyweight Champion in the ring.
00:12His partner, Rowdy Roddy Piper, was inexplicably standing, not doing anything.
00:19Tonight, live on WCW Monday Nitro,
00:25we'll attempt to answer the question, why, Rowdy Roddy Piper, who is here.
00:31Why did it take you so long to get there last week?
00:35I'll tell you something.
00:43Hey, where'd this come from?
00:46That's not us.
00:48Get some pee on it.
00:50Come on, get it out of here.
00:51That's enough, that's enough, that's enough.
00:58Where are they going?
00:59Tempers are hot,
01:09tempers are fuming,
01:17as we welcome
01:24you to WCW Monday Nitro Live.
01:31They're doing it again.
01:33Here comes that propaganda from the sky.
01:36This is nothing but debris.
01:38I just got a real close look into the eyes of Rowdy Roddy Piper, and
01:41he just looked right through me.
01:44Something's gonna happen.
01:45They stormed to the ring, fans.
01:46We were gonna ask Piper the question, why?
01:49Then he comes here, and then he says that's enough.
01:53And they are at the ring.
01:54I think he wanted to answer the question, but everything is the same way.
01:57Piper, that's all I see is Piper.
02:01Last week, I stood here with Piper falling down.
02:08And Mr. Flair, I looked at that paper, and I tried to read that paper.
02:15And I looked outside, and I saw you outside, and
02:20I said to myself, it's only three on one.
02:23You were doing fine.
02:25I've always been there for you, and I will not stop.
02:30And they said, it's 75% their gate.
02:34They want 75% of the purse.
02:37I don't want no purse.
02:41I don't carry no purse.
02:43You wanna fight it, Charlotte?
02:48We got a problem, we got a big problem.
02:58There are people here that are playing mind games.
03:02And this all started last week, and you know I'm telling you the truth.
03:05This bit about the 75% of the purse, and I know that didn't sit well with you,
03:10cuz I could tell by the look on your face, I've known you long enough.
03:13What you need to understand is, Bischoff wrote some sweet deals for
03:17the NWO, and they're legal.
03:18I can't do a thing about that.
03:20We gotta live with that.
03:22They're gonna get 75%.
03:23You got six kids, but that's 25% of the purse.
03:26That's how it is.
03:28If you don't show up, you're in breach of contract, and
03:32you're gonna let the WCW down.
03:34We need you all right now.
03:36You gotta show up, and you gotta have your head on straight.
03:40I have never had my head on straight my whole life, but I will show up.
03:46Okay, boys, these are lions, these are cops.
03:54James J Dillon, the head of WCW out here, telling the way it is.
03:59Hall, Nash, Sixx, I said last week that I didn't know about you, Nash.
04:10I didn't know about you, Hall.
04:13I still don't, but Sixx, you're mine, buddy.
04:18You're mine.
04:22And on the 18th of May in Charlotte, North Carolina,
04:28a man who has no regrets, a man who has performed at 120% his whole career.
04:39Promises the wrestling world that when you drive out of Charlotte,
04:47there will not be a pothole in the road.
04:52Woo!
04:53Yeah!
04:54The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, Kevin Green, Rowdy Roddy Piper.
05:02Making their presence known and making the fact that we will be ready for
05:08Slammory, we being World Championship Wrestling.
05:12And you know, it's Kevin Green, he jumped right in, he wants to talk.
05:16He wants to be part of it.
05:18He's just as riled up as Piper and Flair are.
05:23We're ready for our opening bout here.
05:27But Piper, Green, and Flair are not leaving.
05:32How about what James J.
05:33Dillard said, Larry Zabisco, about the NWO at Slammory?
05:36Part of one of those sweet deals orchestrated by Eric Bischoff,
05:40getting 75% of the game.
05:47Unfortunately, that's the problem they're legally bound to.
05:5175%, and again, it's to the point of emotion and humiliation.
05:56Forget the money.
05:57Just beat the heck out of them.
05:59So you get 25%.
06:01You pay less taxes.
06:03You can end the reign of the New World Order at Slammory.
06:07What I don't like is what J.J.
06:08Dillon said, how Eric Bischoff has cut some real sweet deals.
06:12I'd like to know what those sweet deals are.
06:14Let's take you back now to WCW Monday Night Draw.
06:18Just a few weeks ago, fans, we were in Saginaw, Michigan.
06:21The Steiners were embroiled in a fight with the two men on their way out here,
06:25Conan and Hugh Morse.
06:27And then Public Enemy got involved.
06:29We're going to take you back now to the footage here as we await the entrance
06:33of Conan and Hugh Morse along with Jimmy Hart.
06:37Here in Heaven a couple weeks ago, Public Enemy got involved in this fight,
06:40and it became Public Enemy and the Steiners against Hugh Morse and Conan.
06:47As you can see, everybody's coming at it right there.
06:49Look at that right smack on his fist.
06:54It certainly was a wild Donnybrook.
06:56And now we've got Conan and Hugh Morse.
06:59And they're bringing out a table, Shivani.
07:01They've got their own table.
07:02You're right.
07:03They're bringing out their own furniture.
07:04This could get very, very messy here.
07:06I'm sure they are going to remember what happened on this program,
07:10what you have just seen, as they are to face Public Enemy in what should be
07:14a wild event coming up here in the opening bout,
07:17this one-hour live edition from Lakeland, Florida of Nitro.
07:21Yeah, but look at the psychological game of chess Jimmy Hart's playing here.
07:25Brings out a table.
07:27That's the Public Enemy's MO.
07:29That's giving him something to think about.
07:31Throw the swerve right off the bat.
07:33We said Jimmy Hart had a brilliant mind for this business.
07:37When he really boils down, he really gets into it.
07:40He can really make some great deals, and he knows what to do.
07:44Hugh Morse and Johnny Grimes going at it here.
07:46Watch out!
07:47Throwing the members of the Dungeon of Doom together.
07:50Hugh Morse and Conan in a short period of time
07:53have become one of the most feared tag teams in our sport.
07:56You see the litter, the debris from the NWO.
08:00And you know what happened to that paper, Jimmy?
08:02They got Jimmy Hart laid out.
08:03Look at this.
08:04He looks like a turkey.
08:05He's on the table.
08:06Oh, boy.
08:07And Conan cut him off.
08:10Conan got cut off.
08:12I think this is the first time they've been in the ring.
08:15That time, Rocko Rock was going to explode onto that table.
08:18But Conan saved Jimmy Hart that time.
08:21And the fight continues.
08:22And for referee Scott Dickinson, it's all he can do now
08:25to maintain order.
08:26I tell you, you can see the loyalty in the Dungeon of Doom
08:28to Jimmy Hart right there.
08:30That's right.
08:31Conan's paying a price for helping him, too.
08:33Oh, he hit the pole.
08:35Fans, later on tonight in this one-hour broadcast,
08:38the Giant and Lex Luger against Harlem Heat.
08:42That will be in our main event.
08:44And they got two tables out there.
08:45Uh-oh, double-decker, double-decker.
08:48Double-decker with a man on the bottom deck.
08:52I'm going to break his back.
08:53I'm going to break Conan's back.
08:54You're not kidding.
08:55They will.
08:56Give him a sandwich.
08:58Holding Conan down is Rocko Rock.
09:02And Johnny Grunge is going to not go from the ring.
09:04He's going to go for the top rope.
09:07Oh, Jimmy Hart pulled Conan out.
09:10Oh, my goodness.
09:11Grunge did it.
09:13Barely got Conan out of the way.
09:15And Johnny Grunge went headfirst.
09:16I think maybe he slid off of that top table
09:19and went headfirst to a safety rail.
09:22Safety rail?
09:23Well, safety for the fans.
09:27He's still down.
09:28This is wild.
09:30Conan, Hugh Morris, public enemy.
09:35The table is in the ring here.
09:36Conan's setting up the table right there.
09:39Hugh Morris turned away.
09:41Those legs are sticking out.
09:43Those steel legs are pointing.
09:45Keep in mind, it's one-on-two here,
09:47because Grunge is down and out on the floor.
09:49Rocko Rock, moonsault, springboard,
09:53makes a cover, one-two, and Conan there.
09:56It's amazing.
09:57This match is just really broken down from the opening bout.
10:01And there's the trainer.
10:02He's out there looking at Johnny Grunge.
10:04Oh, boy.
10:05You're not kidding.
10:06Chuck Tasche is out, checking on-
10:09Johnny Grunge is out.
10:11He's out of the dressing room, checking on Johnny Grunge.
10:14That table is very dangerous in the ring there.
10:18Two-on-one here.
10:20And I'm sure the Steiners are looking very cautiously
10:23at what we're seeing.
10:24That time, they attempted a kind of a lariat sandwich.
10:28And Rocko Rock, one step ahead, both men are down.
10:32He's got the table.
10:33That was a slick move pulled by Rocko.
10:36Caught Conan and Hugh Morris both off guard.
10:39He's trying to get Conan up there.
10:42Conan's wobbly.
10:44The second time now, Conan's been on a table.
10:46The first time, Jimmy Hart pulled him away.
10:49But Conan basically out here.
10:51Hugh Morris is up.
10:53Oh, oh, this don't look good.
10:55Oh, my goodness.
10:56Hey, he's gonna throw him right to Conan.
10:58Oh, my goodness.
10:59Look at what we got here.
11:01Oh, my goodness.
11:03One, two, three.
11:05Who got pinned?
11:06The table.
11:07Who got pinned?
11:10Everyone.
11:11What in the world have we seen here?
11:13Ladies and gentlemen, the winners of the match,
11:15the team of Conan and the Laughing Man, Hugh Morris.
11:20Conan and Hugh Morris win the match.
11:23They'll go on to Slamboree to face the Steiners.
11:26And they are ready.
11:27When we come back, Rey Mysterio Jr. and Sixth live.
11:33Conan's still getting up.
11:36Welcome back, fans, to WCW Monday Nitro.
11:39We are live from the Lakeland Center
11:41in beautiful Lakeland, Florida.
11:43Good to have you with us at the Sunshine State.
11:47There's the open that we've come to know and love.
11:50Wrestling fans around the world, there you see still
11:52some of the tradition Bites banners
11:55from the New World Order out.
11:57And of course, when they're talking about tradition,
11:59Brain, they are really directing it right at WCW.
12:03Because as we know, throughout the years in this sport,
12:06WCW has meant tradition.
12:08No doubt about that.
12:09And who has represented WCW more than 13 times
12:13heavyweight champion Ric Flair?
12:15Exactly.
12:16All right, Rey Mysterio Jr. two weeks ago
12:19had a match against Sixth.
12:21But Rey Mysterio Jr. got a little bit more
12:23than he bargained for.
12:25Let's go to the footage now from WCW Monday Nitro.
12:29Two weeks ago, as Rey Mysterio Jr. makes his way in,
12:32the patented high-risk maneuver on the outside.
12:35Sixth was down, was not going to get up any time soon.
12:39But then from behind, Kevin Nash.
12:42Once again, kind of like Larry Bucket,
12:44use this, the enforcer of the NWO
12:47with the power bomb taking matters into his own hands.
12:50But what a cowardly display by Kevin Nash
12:53on a guy one-fifth his size.
12:55Rey Mysterio from behind.
12:58No doubt Rey wants to get revenge on Sixth,
13:02member of the New World Order.
13:04As far as I'm concerned, what a sleazeball.
13:07Well, they do what they have to do the way they want to do it.
13:10Make no bones about that.
13:12Now let's see what Sixth has got up his sleeve out here
13:15with Nash and Hall.
13:18Well, you know, now this is being billed as a return match
13:22for the Cruiserweight Championship.
13:24Sixth against Rey Mysterio Jr.
13:26But Sixth, Sixth does not have wrestling pants on here.
13:31Look at him, jeans on.
13:32That doesn't mean anything.
13:34They can do whatever they want.
13:35They're a bunch of cowards.
13:37He can't walk out by himself like a man.
13:40Sweep.
13:41Out.
13:45All three are coming out, and this has to spell doom
13:49for Rey Mysterio Jr.
13:50Mysterio, just leave the ring.
13:52Get out of the ring.
13:53Exactly.
13:54New World Order.
13:55Let the referee handle the situation.
13:57Here's the trio that will face Hyper, Kevin Green,
14:01and the Nature Boy, Ric Flair, at Slammory
14:04in less than two weeks now.
14:06And that trio, there's no Larry, Moe, and Curly there.
14:09Four NWO members.
14:11The big man, Nash, Sixth, and Hall.
14:14Oh!
14:15You know, word to the wise here.
14:18I told him to get out of the ring.
14:19He stood there.
14:20He stood right there.
14:21And now the bell sounds.
14:23So we've got a match for the Cruiserweight Championship.
14:26And Sixth.
14:29And that was nothing but a complete decoy situation.
14:33Oh, he got him.
14:34Sixth blundered.
14:35And look at this.
14:36He ran into it.
14:37Mysterio, like we've never seen the young man.
14:41He's going to take him all on, Dropkick.
14:45Yeah, but that's not smart.
14:47That's right.
14:48Hit and run.
14:49And get out of the ring.
14:50Uh-oh.
14:51Oh, boy.
14:52Did he get blindsided?
14:53The numbers got to him that time.
14:55Oh, my goodness.
14:56Uh-oh.
14:57Oh!
14:58The NWO drop.
15:01Oh, you can see this coming.
15:03You knew that was going to happen.
15:04Suzy put up that foot and started wailing away at Sixth.
15:07And now the buzz killer is nothing but an afterthought here.
15:11I don't even think he's awake.
15:12No, he's out.
15:14He's hurt.
15:15He's badly hurt.
15:16Sixth will retain the Cruiserweight Championship.
15:19J.J. Dillon.
15:20And look at Nick Patrick right behind him.
15:22What's Patrick doing there?
15:24Well, Nick Patrick wants reinstated, as we know.
15:26Well, isn't that too bad?
15:28Nick Patrick has come out.
15:30Security has come out.
15:31Everybody's coming out.
15:33Eric Bischoff is here.
15:36This is going to be interesting.
15:38Look, they're pummeling Patrick.
15:40If he doesn't break the hold, you've got to reverse the decision.
15:43Patrick's lying.
15:45They don't care about a decision being reversed.
15:47They want to hurt people.
15:48J.J. said reverse the hold, or we're going to reverse the decision.
15:52Let loose of the hold.
15:53And Eric Bischoff's got a microphone.
15:56I don't know what you're thinking, but you need to back off.
16:00You've got no power.
16:02You've got no stroke.
16:07He's called his bluff here, hasn't he?
16:10Let's not bluff.
16:11Do something, J.J.
16:12That's the power right there.
16:15Something's got to happen here.
16:16Yeah, where's the WCW guy?
16:18That's a good point, Larry.
16:19Where in the world are they?
16:21He's been in this hole for a couple of minutes now.
16:25They love you.
16:26They really love you.
16:27You think you're going to pull the same trap you pulled for McMahon?
16:32Here, you've got another thing coming.
16:36We've had enough out of you, pal.
16:41Enough.
16:42You think you're going to come down?
16:44Enough of you in New York.
16:45Don't even get in my face, because you've got one coming, punk.
16:49Wow.
16:50Why doesn't he fight in the 75% of the house they want so bad?
16:54He doesn't have any control over the NWO.
16:57The NWO in the face of power of the WCW taking charge.
17:02Still to come, Luger and the Giant are made of ash.
17:05Ash is bugging me.
17:06Another mugging.
17:101-800-COLLECT presents our road report.
17:13And with that in mind, let's go live now to Lee Marshall.
17:16Lee, it's wild here.
17:17How is it in Baltimore?
17:18Tony, it's great here in Baltimore.
17:20I mean, everybody from Camden Yards down to the Naval Academy in Annapolis,
17:23everybody getting ready for a week from tonight.
17:26It's Monday.
17:27Nitro coming to the Baltimore Arena.
17:28You know, Baltimore, always the epicenter of great WCW excitement.
17:32And we expect the Baltimore Arena to be sold out.
17:35So be sure you're not left out.
17:37Get your Nitro tickets first thing tomorrow.
17:39Baltimore is such a great city.
17:41It's called Charm City by the residents.
17:43The birthplace of Babe Ruth and Montel Williams and Edgar Allan Poe.
17:47That's why they call the team the Ravens and not the Weasels.
17:50On the subject of Weasels, Bobby, Bobby, listen to me.
17:53You need to know that Baltimore is world famous
17:56for its annual crab festivals as well.
17:58So next week, next Monday, when somebody offers to give you
18:01their Chesapeake blue crabs, Bobby, that's a good thing.
18:05And that's your 1-800-COLLECT road report from Baltimore.
18:08I'm Lee Marshall for 1-800-COLLECT.
18:10Thanks a lot, Lee Marshall.
18:12I'm going to knock him out.
18:14Yeah, of course you are.
18:15We hear that NWO music again.
18:17They're not coming out here again, are they?
18:19You don't say what you want to.
18:22They have completely dominated this program.
18:25They have dominated a program
18:27that is now under the officers of J.J. Dillon,
18:31who is in charge of WCW.
18:33Bray, what in the world is going on here?
18:35And look who's making an entrance.
18:37Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
18:39The WCW World Heavyweight Champion.
18:46Disgracing the championship belt.
18:52Eric Bischoff out here with it.
18:56There's his chest brace.
18:59This is nothing less than incredible.
19:02You're right, this is incredible.
19:06First time we have seen Hogan here on Nitro in quite a while.
19:09You know something, Tony?
19:10Every week, they get a little more out of hand.
19:13Yeah, they do.
19:14Because of that man right there.
19:16I know the contracts where it's either man or what.
19:21As I was...
19:23Oh, look at that!
19:38I think Bischoff needs oxygen.
19:41We are not worthy.
19:43But we're so glad we're here.
19:47Hollywood, you've been a little busy making a few movies here and there.
19:53But the phones have been melting in NWO headquarters, buddy.
19:57They want to know when you're going to kick Sting around an arena like an old shoe.
20:04Well, you know something, Mr. Bischoff?
20:07With the wolf pack in the back, watching my back, Jack.
20:13The fact that they're going to take care of Flair, Piper, and Kevin Green.
20:18The wolf pack was six.
20:20They're going to take care of all the dirty work that's left to be done in the WCW.
20:26But the bottom line, brother, I've been making money and buying land.
20:32Shut up, you idiot!
20:36Have a little respect!
20:38We want Sting!
20:40We want Sting!
20:41You can hear it. We hear it every place.
20:43Yeah, you can tell by Hogan's face. He don't like it.
20:46The crowd is getting the old Hollywood.
20:48And Hollywood don't want Sting.
20:50You're not kidding, he doesn't.
20:52You know something?
20:54Week after week, even I realize how hard it is to be me.
21:00I turn on Nitro when I'm out in Hollywood.
21:03Piper's screaming for Hogan.
21:05Flair's screaming for Hogan.
21:07DDP wants some of me.
21:10But you know something, Mr. Bischoff?
21:12What, man?
21:13Let's do things the way we usually do them.
21:17Hollywood wants the big dog, brother.
21:20So, since all the Sting fans are here, bring Sting out.
21:26And I'll treat him like yesterday's rubbish.
21:30Bring him out.
21:31It's calling for Sting.
21:32It's a challenge right here.
21:33That's right, Eve.
21:34What's Sting out right now?
21:35It's Sting here.
21:36He's looking up.
21:37Well, you never know where Sting's gonna come from.
21:39Out of a doorway, from the roof, underneath the ring.
21:42Look around.
21:43I don't see him.
21:44I didn't see him.
21:45Did you see him?
21:46Come on down.
21:47Where is he?
21:48Please, Sting, if you're here, come down.
21:52Unless they knew he wasn't here, that's why they made the challenge.
21:54You know what goes to show all you morons out here?
21:57Once a god, always a god.
22:01Oh, yes.
22:06Hogan, might as well go catch a cold one.
22:09Oh, I love you too, man.
22:11But that doesn't mean we won't see Sting.
22:14We have not seen him right now.
22:16Yeah.
22:17Everyone's playing mind games.
22:19And what about Lex Luger, the man who earned the world title shot recently?
22:23Did you notice Hogan named everybody but Luger?
22:26Everybody wants me.
22:27He didn't say Lex Luger.
22:28You know why?
22:29A lot of people want you, Hollywood.
22:31We well know that Luger was in Japan this past weekend,
22:34suffered an injury.
22:36We understand perpetrated and at the hands of the NWO.
22:41But what happened to Luger?
22:43We don't know exactly the extent of the injury.
22:46We just do know that Luger is scheduled to be in the main event
22:51later on tonight with a giant against Harlem Heat.
22:56And that's later on in this one-hour edition of WCW Monday Nitro.
23:02Well, he can't be injured that bad then, right?
23:06Well, I don't know.
23:07I don't know the extent of the injury, Larry.
23:09I mean, one would think it's not.
23:11Well, get Tanay or somebody.
23:12They know everything.
23:17Lord Steven Regal making his way to the ring for the next bout here.
23:20Notice this, Tony.
23:21He usually comes out with his beautiful blue and red robe right from England.
23:26And all the pageantry that goes along with him, his lordship.
23:30Notice he's come tonight to fight.
23:32Yeah, but he's also wrestling Ming.
23:34I know.
23:35I don't think he wants Ming to eat his royal robe.
23:38That may be the only thing Ming won't eat.
23:41Ming, one of the most ferocious men, not only in pro wrestling,
23:45but in any walk of life, in any sports walk of life.
23:49As we await the arrival of Ming, let's go back now
23:52and take a look at what happened one week ago.
23:56Regal and Benoit.
23:58It was a fierce match.
24:00And then Lord Steven Regal trying to help out Benoit when Ming went ballistic.
24:06But listen to what Woman says to Kevin Sullivan.
24:14She said, Kevin, make him stop.
24:17No one but Woman apparently could make Ming stop and pull Ming off of Benoit.
24:23But watch this.
24:24Ming didn't waste a second.
24:27Well, she didn't make Ming stop.
24:28She told Kevin to.
24:30No one can control this man.
24:32Regal got the wrong idea of it.
24:34Don't hit him in the head.
24:35You'll only make him upset.
24:36This man is a savage.
24:38This man is an animal.
24:39Look at this man operate.
24:41I've never seen Ming like this before in my life.
24:44Regal's fighting him, and that's wrong.
24:46And notice this.
24:47Sullivan's right there.
24:49Kevin Sullivan is out.
24:51And Regal and Sullivan are going at it.
24:54And Jackman's out there.
24:57And Ming just waiting.
25:01He's got the nerve hold on Regal.
25:03Well, I don't have any love for Regal, but he's in the wrong place.
25:06That's what he had in Benoit last week, and he wouldn't release it.
25:11They cannot control Ming.
25:13Look at that.
25:14That's a death grip.
25:15Let's go.
25:16Let's go.
25:17Let's go.
25:18Let's go.
25:19Come on.
25:20Let's go.
25:21Let's go.
25:22Let's go.
25:23Ming.
25:24Let's go.
25:25Ming.
25:26Get him.
25:28Oh, my goodness.
25:29The fight continues.
25:31I've never seen Ming like this in my life.
25:34I've known this man for a while.
25:35This man's capable of damaging just about anybody that
25:38walks the face of this earth.
25:40All I've ever said is, Benoit, you won't.
25:44Ming doesn't care.
25:45He's still got Regal by the larynx.
25:47I wouldn't want to beat Benoit.
25:48We've got to step out for a break.
25:49Stay with us.
25:50Not now.
25:51Next Monday, live, 7 o'clock, Nitro, here on TNT.
25:55Wow.
25:58You know, once he gets going, you can't stop him.
26:01He got him with the diamond cutter.
26:03He sure did.
26:04He took an opportunity to achieve something.
26:07Determination has brought him success in WCW
26:10with the devastating diamond cutter.
26:13They know who the real deal is.
26:16Bang!
26:17Diamond Dallas Page, you're on the wanted list of the NWO.
26:21Diamond Dallas Page has resisted all offers made by the NWO.
26:25Unfortunately, with more success,
26:27the target on his chest has grown larger.
26:30Diamond Dallas is out.
26:31Oh, my goodness.
26:33Timberley Savage has set out to damage the career of DDP.
26:37That's Timberley in here.
26:39Damaging deeds have been done by the Macho Man.
26:42Look at Timberley.
26:44She's been spray-painted.
26:46Spray-painting NWO on the back of Diamond Dallas Page.
26:50You're a real woman.
26:53And Timberley has been hurt.
26:55That's something that I'm not going to forget.
26:58Verbal assaults have been hurled across the airways.
27:00We're all going to see
27:03if DDP
27:06has got any family jewels at all.
27:10Don't forget to bring your little bimbo, Liz.
27:14Diamond Dallas has been snared in the net of the NWO.
27:18And DDP now at the mercy of the NWO.
27:21It's gotten really personal really quickly.
27:24If you can't feel the madness,
27:27ask Timberley.
27:30But she sure felt it.
27:32Yes, she has.
27:34We've seen how low the NWO is willing to go.
27:38They've stood toe-to-toe and have bumped and bruised each other.
27:41Both have been tattered and torn from the intense battle.
27:44The wounds will heal, but the thoughts of malice will continue to heighten.
27:48It's not over, rest assured.
27:50You're going to remember my name.
27:52It's Diamond Dallas Page.
27:58I am.
28:00Yeah, we all are.
28:02Speak for yourself.
28:08DDP, Timberley, we have just seen up here on the big screen,
28:11as folks have across the country,
28:13what has transpired.
28:15The NWO is now at the mercy of the NWO.
28:18It's not over, rest assured.
28:20You're going to remember my name.
28:22It's Diamond Dallas Page.
28:24On the big screen, as folks have across the country,
28:26what has transpired in recent weeks
28:28between you and the Macho Man Randy Savage.
28:31At Spring Stampede, they said you couldn't do it, but you did it.
28:35You know, Okerlund, before I was ever a wrestler,
28:38I grew up in the nightclub business.
28:41From the Jersey Shore to Fort Myers, Florida,
28:45I've been in more bar fights than I'd like to remember.
28:49But at Spring Stampede,
28:52I've never been in any fight like I was with that.
28:56But what Spring Stampede was to me
29:00was a defining moment.
29:03And when you define the moment,
29:06you either define the moment,
29:08or the moment defines you.
29:10Savage, DDP defines you.
29:15Back it up. Bang!
29:18All right, I don't think there was any question of it out conclusively.
29:21Diamond Dallas Page putting down the Macho Man Randy Savage.
29:24And Kimberly, you were there through it all behind this man.
29:28Yeah, I was.
29:30And then Randy Savage is walking around
29:33saying that I'm obsessed with him.
29:36Yeah, that's a good one.
29:39The guy is trying to get at Page,
29:41and that's the best that he can do?
29:45It's obvious.
29:47The guy's got a one-track mind.
29:49But the traffic on it is very light.
29:52Oh, please.
29:54Ooh, yeah.
29:57Don't go away.
29:59Did I just hear the Macho Man?
30:01Is he in the house?
30:03What are you talking about, little girl?
30:07Where is he?
30:09Lies, lies, lies.
30:12What are you gonna tell your husband?
30:15I'm right here, brother.
30:18Everybody wants the Macho Man Randy Savage.
30:22Kimberly, quit calling me.
30:25Quit writing me.
30:27You wish you had the Macho Man.
30:30Are you listening to this?
30:32I got two words for you.
30:35Diamond Conner.
30:37Bang!
30:39Too bad that I'm hurt.
30:41I'd come down there right now and kick your ass.
30:47Well, I think the Macho Man, he said,
30:51come on down here.
30:54Big words from Macho, but he can't back it up.
30:57Diamond Dallas already broke his ankle.
30:59Now Macho wants to get beat up some more.
31:02Let him.
31:04Diamond Dallas has become a very, very dangerous man.
31:08He certainly has because of that hold.
31:11He said, I have two words for you, Diamond Conner.
31:13But he's right.
31:14Gentlemen, when he talks about the match
31:16that they had at Spring Stampede,
31:18one of the most rugged, one of the most brutal matches
31:20we have ever been around in this sport.
31:22Well, you saw Savage is on crutches.
31:24GDP had an acupuncture.
31:26He's had ice on his shoulder for a couple of weeks.
31:29It's a heck of a fight.
31:31Well, that's right.
31:32Making his way to the ring with the next bout here
31:34live on WCW Monday Nitro.
31:36Did you see him jerk away from the fans that time?
31:40You know, I never liked people grabbing at me
31:43when I was walking down.
31:44You never know.
31:45Sometimes they have foreign objects.
31:48And plus, most of those people have regular jobs.
31:51You don't know where their hands have been.
31:54Yeah, Jeff Gerrard with Deborah.
31:57Coming out here, Queen Deborah, they
31:59are making their way out, members of the horsemen.
32:01You know, gentlemen, I want to bring up something
32:04that we saw in the last segment here, if I could.
32:07Hogan calling out Sting, and they looked up,
32:09and we were wondering where Sting is.
32:12As we know, since last year, since Sting
32:15has been very mysterious, we've all
32:17been wondering where Sting is.
32:18He appears when least you'd expect him to appear.
32:22My question is, is he picking his moment?
32:24Is there going to be a moment when we least
32:26expect Sting to come out, and he makes his appearance?
32:31Of course there is.
32:32This has been burning inside of him
32:34since his whole NWA garbage started.
32:36He's got a plan.
32:37Something is burning inside of that man,
32:39and he's not going to rest until he does
32:41what he wants to do to the NWO.
32:43He's going to start with Hogan.
32:44That's who he wants.
32:45He's got a plan all right.
32:46Well, I would like to believe that, but still, you know,
32:49actions speak a lot louder than words.
32:51I think it's time Sting starts doing some actions here.
32:54Well, I think you're going to see Sting's actions when
32:57he decides to take action.
32:59I think he's sitting back, waiting for the right moment.
33:02And I don't think tonight was the right moment,
33:04especially with Hogan looking up
33:06and all the NWO in the building.
33:08He's not sitting back, waiting for anything.
33:10This is all calculated.
33:12Hogan tried to ruin his career with the fans
33:15and the children and everything.
33:17He's not going to let this go unanswered.
33:19Alex Wright being very aggressive here
33:21against Jeff Jarrett.
33:23You know, Jeff coming out with Debra,
33:25I've often wondered, and we've seen them together before,
33:27how this goes over, how it sits with Steve Mongol McMichael,
33:31how it sits in the household.
33:33Yeah, I know why she's doing it.
33:35I think she's doing this to irritate Mongo so bad
33:38that he just...
33:40just beats the heck out of Reggie White.
33:44That could be it.
33:46Into the figure-four leg lock.
33:49You know, oddly enough, Alex...
33:52Alex was getting a little nasty there.
33:54Yes, he was.
33:55He left himself wide open,
33:57and Jeff Jarrett just hooked him with that figure-four.
34:00Put the figure-four on Alex Wright,
34:02and Jeff Jarrett, a man who will face
34:06Dean Malenko for the U.S. heavyweight title
34:09coming up at Slamboree, gets the win.
34:12But three weeks ago on this program,
34:14Steve Mongol McMichael and Reggie White,
34:17as we take a look at this footage,
34:19were eye-to-eye.
34:22And these two men will meet at Slamboree.
34:25Two of the greatest in the sports world,
34:29Steve McMichael and Reggie White.
34:31And at Slamboree,
34:32there'll be no holding these two men back.
34:39The action continues.
34:40So much to talk about.
34:42So many things going on.
34:44The debut of Liz Mark Jr.
34:47Like an alien.
34:48Making his way to the ring.
34:49First time we've seen him here on WCW Monday Nitro.
34:53Did you ever hear of Liz Mark Sr.?
34:56No.
34:57I didn't either,
34:59but Tanay cornered me again
35:01in some room and was telling me
35:03about the infamous Liz Mark Sr. of Mexico.
35:07Told me the same thing.
35:08Well, you know what I know.
35:10As much as I know.
35:12Well, we know a lot about this man.
35:14Glacier.
35:17Notice, he don't have the helmet on, Tony.
35:20I think we know all about that, Larry.
35:22No helmet.
35:24Helmet that has meant so much to him.
35:26Look, he's got an eyelash.
35:28You're exactly right.
35:29Humbled at the hands of Mortis, James Vandenberg,
35:32and this gigantic man, still unnamed.
35:35We don't know anything about him,
35:37but we know that he, Mortis, and Vandenberg
35:40have their sights not only set on taking away the helmet,
35:43but dismantling this man in the wars of WCW.
35:50You know, so far, they've been successful
35:53at one half of their mission.
35:55They've got the helmet.
36:00Glacier and Liz Mark Jr.
36:01to go at it one-on-one in this next match.
36:03Still to come, Lex Luger, we understand,
36:05injured in Japan.
36:07Not 100% at the hands of the NWO.
36:10He's not 100%.
36:11He and the Giant against Harlem.
36:12He's still to come.
36:13Look at Liz Mark and Glacier.
36:15Acrobatic move into the cryotic kick,
36:18and that one is over.
36:20I tell you, if you land in the right spot,
36:22it only takes one.
36:24And, boy, Glacier caught Liz Mark Jr.
36:27Great smack on the chinny chin chin.
36:30Well, remember this, Liz.
36:31Hey!
36:32Mortis!
36:34The lights went off.
36:36From behind.
36:38James Vandenberg's in there with that helmet.
36:43Pounding away is Mortis.
36:45Got him from behind.
36:46Look at this.
36:49Defenseless right now is Glacier,
36:52and there is that gigantic man again.
36:56Glacier firing back.
36:58He's fighting back,
36:59but I don't think he sees the big man.
37:02Look at this guy.
37:03Those are clenched fist blows from Glacier,
37:05and that is uncharacteristic of this man.
37:08Look at him.
37:09Glacier doesn't know that other man's in the ring.
37:11He's just standing there.
37:13Glacier, you are not by yourself in that ring.
37:15He can't hear you.
37:17Meanwhile, Mortis getting pummeled himself here.
37:20Look, another clenched fist blow.
37:22And the big man is measuring him.
37:26Caught him!
37:27Pick him up!
37:29And drove him down!
37:35There's just no way Glacier,
37:38as talented as he is,
37:40and undefeated,
37:41can battle some of these men.
37:43Well, you can't fight something you don't see.
37:45Glacier didn't see a ton of it.
37:47And notice the stitches in his eyes
37:49from the last time they got their hands on Glacier.
37:51Absolutely.
37:52Look at this.
37:53They're not done with him yet.
37:54He's got about seven or eight stitches
37:55right there in the eye.
37:56Mortis just gave us a sign
37:58for his patented flat-liner maneuver.
38:01He's going up with him.
38:06Wow.
38:07Like a Samoan drop.
38:11They're not finished yet.
38:16Where's J.J. Dillon or somebody?
38:18I don't know.
38:19I think he's got his hands full with the NWO back there.
38:21That's right.
38:24Glacier has no one to come to his aid at all.
38:27We're gonna break his back.
38:28He's a man alone.
38:30That's what they're gonna attempt to do.
38:32Brain, you're right.
38:33Oh!
38:34Using that staff of his
38:36to pound the back of Glacier.
38:38All right!
38:39Listen to this.
38:40Break the kidneys!
38:41This is horrible.
38:44We're gonna need to bring Chuck Tashe back out again.
38:46He's gonna need some medical attention.
38:48You better bring the Mayo Clinic out here.
38:54Well, I don't know what...
38:55They still have the helmet, you see.
38:57Vandenberg still has Glacier's helmet in his hand.
39:00Who is this guy?
39:02I don't know, but Glacier better find himself a friend
39:05or he's gonna keep getting the same situation.
39:09We'll be back with our main event next,
39:11live on Nitro.
39:17Fans, don't forget,
39:18WCW Monday Nitro comes your way
39:20next Monday from the Baltimore Arena.
39:22That's Monday, May 12th.
39:23Tickets available at the Arena Box Office and Ticketmaster,
39:26just like Lee Marshall told you.
39:28And then in two weeks,
39:29WCW Monday Nitro live from Asheville, North Carolina
39:32in the Civic Center.
39:33That's Monday, May 19th.
39:34Tickets at the Civic Center Box Office
39:36and Ticketmaster locations there.
39:40Well, this has been an hour full of surprises.
39:45Two sides trying to get,
39:47in the midst of a power struggle,
39:49trying to get either their point in or make their point.
39:53And we wait now.
39:55The Giant and the Total Package Lex Luger.
39:58Well, talk about a power struggle.
40:00Here comes a team that has no lack of power.
40:03Luger and the Giant.
40:05You said Lex Luger was hurt over in Japan.
40:07You know what?
40:08He got hurt.
40:09Leg, neck, arm, what?
40:11Well, I don't see Lex coming out.
40:13I just see the Giant.
40:15That's right.
40:16Luger, we didn't.
40:17We just were told that it would be Luger and the Giant,
40:20but that Luger had been injured.
40:22So apparently the injury severe enough to keep him away
40:26from this main event here tonight.
40:29But you know the Giant guys, he'll take on both men.
40:32I don't know.
40:33Harlan, he may be a problem even for the Giant.
40:36Oh, you're right about that.
40:37His thinking will be no problem.
40:39The Giant now is asking for a microphone here.
40:43Now, we all know Lex Luger's not here.
40:48But for you two, I do have a partner.
40:52Oh, who is it?
40:54Diamond Dallas Petty.
40:57All right.
40:58Diamond Dallas Petty.
41:01All right.
41:02Master of the Diamond, there.
41:05Now, Harlan, he may have a problem.
41:10Diamond Dallas Petty.
41:12And it's fresh.
41:13Crazy, isn't it?
41:15And he's looking good.
41:17Not him.
41:18Oh, there he is.
41:21Diamond Dallas Petty.
41:24Oh, there's the Macho Man.
41:27Hit him.
41:29Hit him.
41:30That coward's putting Liz in front of him.
41:32Well, hit her too.
41:35Oh, man.
41:37He came out of nowhere.
41:39Hollywood Hogan.
41:40He's beating him like a dog.
41:42And he's got Kimberly.
41:44Someone let the Giant know what's going on.
41:47Giving a rub on the hair.
41:50This is sickening.
41:51This is horrible.
41:52Boy, did Hogan hit DDP in the back with that kick?
41:55Oh, you got the whole world on right here.
41:57Where's WCW?
42:00I would agree.
42:01DDP.
42:02Where's Sting?
42:03The NWO is going to the ring here.
42:07I said Sting was picking his moment.
42:09We've got a Donnybrook now.
42:12And now they're beating on the Giant.
42:14They're hitting him with the crutches.
42:16They're hitting him with the crutches.
42:18They're hitting him with the crutches.
42:19They're hitting him with anything they can get their hands on now.
42:21They are trying to completely dominate and take over this program.
42:25They think they can do whatever they want.
42:27They can walk into a ring.
42:28They can go into a studio, into a truck.
42:30They can just maul people and push people around.
42:32Somebody's got to stop them and stop them now.
42:35Taking care of the Harlem Heat, as you can see.
42:38Taking care of the Giant.
42:40Right down below us, DDP still being pummeled, being beaten by Hogan.
42:47Kimberly is down.
42:48And she does not look in good shape at all.
42:50Look at those crutches.
42:54Ric Flair's coming out.
42:56He can breathe.
42:57Kevin Green is coming out.
42:58Where's Piper?
43:02The numbers are just too great for him.
43:07This is too many of them, Tony.
43:09That's right, Larry.
43:10Nothing they can do.
43:11Flair.
43:12Kimberly is not moving here on the floor.
43:14Diamond's moving a little bit.
43:15I bet you he's got some broken ribs.
43:17Look at Kevin Green.
43:18They threw him out.
43:20There's Piper.
43:22This is a horrible scene.
43:24There's just too many.
43:26And you notice Hogan standing back here.
43:28He's not making any way.
43:34You and your bunch of cowards take the set.
43:37Well, you know, if you look at all the carnage madness
43:44I guess it's safe to say that the NWO with Macho Madness Hollywood
43:52and the Wolf Pack has everything under control.
43:56Exactly.
43:57And the good news is my leg's feeling a lot better.
44:01Oh, look at the family man who said he was going home to his kids.
44:05That's just putting Piper to sleep.
44:07Isn't that ironic?
44:08I love it.
44:09And where's their all-American hero, Sting?
44:12Who wouldn't stick up for all the little kids?
44:14Young Lions, baby!
44:16Young Lions!
44:18Choke him out, big man.
44:20Choke him out.
44:22Man, those guys are cool.
44:26I love those guys.
44:27It's great having you around again.
44:29Brother, there's no way to stop us.
44:33You know that Kimberly fell for me.
44:35She kissed me, too.
44:36But yeah, and I'm not jealous.
