00:00Triple plays.
00:02The following is an exclusive presentation of TBS.
00:06TBS. Taking bold steps for Earth.
00:10Ron Simmons, what he is today.
00:12What made Ron Simmons in the past.
00:14What made him the great athlete that I am.
00:16What made me a Heisman Trophy candidate.
00:18What made me an All-American.
00:20I got away from the basics, the fundamentals
00:22of doing things the right way.
00:24I took the easy road.
00:26Butch Reed, Teddy Long.
00:28Things were fine. Started out great.
00:30I bought the fancy cars, the limousines,
00:32the fast women, everything.
00:34That was the way to go.
00:36But brother, how quickly things can change.
00:38How quickly you soon learn who your true fans are.
00:40How quickly you soon learn what money really means.
00:44And you soon learn that the way to go
00:46is the way to make yourself the person you want to be.
00:50The person that made you great.
00:52And that's within you.
00:54And that's what will continue.
00:58♪♪
01:08♪♪
01:18Today's program is brought to you by Nintendo.
01:22Now you're playing with power.
01:24Welcome back to WCW Pro Chicago.
01:26Tony Schiavone along with Larry Zabisko.
01:28You know, later on in the show, Tony,
01:30on Larry Z's Legends,
01:32I'm gonna bring out a very flamboyant man,
01:34Diamond Dallas Page,
01:36who's very instrumental in taking the Freebirds
01:38to the World Tag Team Championship.
01:40That'll be on our Larry Z's Legends segment.
01:42In addition, Flying Brian,
01:44he wants to get back at Arn Anderson.
01:46He's got him one-on-one this week
01:48right here on The Pro.
01:50But right now, let's go to the ring for action.
01:52From Atlanta, Georgia,
01:54at 227 pounds,
01:56Wildfire Chubby Rich
01:58and his partner from the great Northwoods,
02:00Big Josh.
02:02Entering the ring now,
02:04from Frankfort, Kentucky,
02:06Mike Samples
02:08and his partner from Sevierville, Tennessee,
02:10P-Pop.
02:12Well, Big Josh,
02:14who we saw a couple of weeks ago
02:16come out of the stands to help his friend,
02:18Wildfire Chubby Rich,
02:20is now teaming with Chubby Rich
02:22and earlier on, we had a chance
02:24to hear some comments from these two.
02:26Let's listen to what they had to say.
02:28God, it's great, Tommy.
02:30I come all the way across the country just to see you
02:32and there's cameramen coming in.
02:34They tell me I can tell everybody hello
02:36into camera. It's great. You know, Big Josh,
02:38they talk about world titles, U.S. titles.
02:40You know, Big Josh, he's a little unorthodox
02:42wrestler, but I tell you what,
02:44we're coming after him.
02:46Well, Big Josh, a likable guy, I can tell you that.
02:48He and Chubby Rich very well
02:50could make a formidable tag team
02:52when you talk about the title structure
02:54here at World Championship Wrestling,
02:56although it's a very unorthodox team.
02:58I guess Josh is going to finally take that
03:00toboggan off.
03:02If he's such a likable guy, Shivani,
03:04why is he standing in the ring with a big stick?
03:08Well, I can't answer that. He's dropped it now.
03:10I guess he hurt you, Keith Hart.
03:12Collar and elbow time.
03:14Chubby Rich snaps him right down.
03:16Chubby Rich, good veteran wrestler.
03:18We have a big treat for everybody.
03:20Today on the program, Larry Zabisco
03:22will leave the broadcast location
03:24not once, but twice.
03:26Once for the Larry Z's Legends.
03:28The second time to don the tights
03:30as the cliche goes in the wrestling.
03:32I'm going to step in and show him
03:34what the last of the real men look like.
03:36Good arm drag.
03:38Arm drag, and Chubby Rich
03:40squared ahead. Now, you see that Big Josh
03:42doing a lot of cheering
03:44doing a lot of cheering on the other side
03:46as Chubby Rich
03:48is taking command of Keith Hart.
03:50There's Josh.
03:52You think that's not a likable guy? Look at that.
03:54He's always got a pleasant look on his face.
03:56I don't care what they look like. I've been in this ring
03:5815 glorious years, and none of them are clergy.
04:00Well, when it comes right down to it.
04:02Oh! Neck breakout.
04:04Teeth cutting time.
04:06It's all serious business with that neck breakout.
04:08Is that a three count?
04:10Now, look at Big Josh, sticking his head through the ropes
04:12for the third time, and the referee,
04:14Lee Scott, had to usher him back
04:16as Chubby Rich goes right to the arm.
04:18I tell you what,
04:20we have had some tremendous
04:22weeks here on the pro,
04:24and the man that we have seen the last couple of weeks
04:26flying bright
04:28here today against Arn Anderson.
04:30What a match that's going to be.
04:32Great snap suplex taking him over,
04:34and a two count,
04:36and a kick out as Keith Hart
04:38finds himself still in trouble.
04:40Yeah, Tommy Rich is doing the right thing.
04:42He's outmaneuvering this Keith Hart,
04:44and he keeps that hold on.
04:46Keeps that arm bar on. Working that shoulder and that elbow.
04:48Don't let the man tag. Wear him down.
04:50Josh looking on from the outside
04:52as Rich gets ready for the ride.
04:54Look at the better of it.
04:56And now he's over the top.
04:58Blocked. He'll toss Keith Hart down.
05:04And look at Big Josh.
05:06Still a little bit of cheerleading. He doesn't know where he is.
05:10And Sambles
05:12that time got the blow in the back of the neck.
05:14I think he was trying to warn Tommy Rich
05:16about the other man coming in, but I'm not sure.
05:18Well, I think Big Josh wants to come in,
05:20but Josh has got to tag first.
05:22He's got to tag.
05:24And buddy, they're slugging it out.
05:26The foot!
05:28He's not the smoothest individual, but he gets the job done.
05:30Well, he doesn't need to be. You're right.
05:32I don't think there's any
05:34side headlock
05:36or arm bar going to come here.
05:38And the fans!
05:40Copyright with Big Josh!
05:42Leveling Samples!
05:44He's all over the place!
05:46Look at him!
05:48He's the flying whatever!
05:54And the fans love it
05:56as Big Josh
05:58explodes onto Samples.
06:00He did something.
06:02Oh, he loves it.
06:04It's a lot of fun with Big Josh.
06:06A little unorthodox here.
06:08The man, look, he just grabbed him by the upper tights,
06:10whipped him in.
06:12Boom! I don't know what he hit him with.
06:14His fist. He just hit him right in the chest.
06:16He's all over the ring.
06:18Ha!
06:20Here comes the flying whatever.
06:22Boy, you can't say it on TV,
06:24but that hurts.
06:26Wow, Big Josh is awesome.
06:28Man, stay right where you are.
06:30We'll talk to the world champion, Ric Flair,
06:32and have Dustin Rhodes in action, the natural X.
06:37A lot of exciting things happening
06:39in world championship wrestling.
06:41Number one thing that's going on
06:43is the nature boy, Buddy Landell,
06:45is the hottest thing on the scene.
06:47And a couple of more things that's exciting going on
06:49is that the Steiners,
06:51even though that I personally don't like them,
06:53and I can personally beat both of them up
06:55at the same time, that means no difference.
06:57They just beat the Freebirds
06:59for the world tag team champions.
07:01Now, let me explain something else to you.
07:03Steiners, ha!
07:05Now, I'm so good
07:07that I could probably beat both of you for those bells,
07:09but I'm not going to.
07:11I'm gonna give you a little bit of slack
07:13and let you keep them for a little while
07:15until the Freebirds or somebody else
07:17beat you for them again.
07:19And let's talk about Bobby Eaton just for a second.
07:21Bobby Eaton, he's a nut.
07:23You don't know what to expect.
07:25I've known the guy for 12 years.
07:27He might be running up and down the road one day.
07:29He might be driving the next day.
07:31He might be eating red meat.
07:33World championship wrestling is what's happening.
07:47Meet Jim Dodd.
07:49All right, Sting!
07:51You know something about you, buddy?
07:53You just can't seem
07:55to grow up
07:57and mature
07:59in what we know
08:01as the greatest sport in the world.
08:03You've got every physical attribute.
08:05You've got thousands
08:07of little Stingers
08:09that live each day
08:11of their life
08:13breathing and believing
08:15in you
08:17because you're the man.
08:19But, Sting, let me tell you
08:21what makes you and me totally different.
08:23When I got beat,
08:25I woke up the next day
08:27knowing I was still the best.
08:29And I set course
08:31for the day that I would
08:33walk the aisle and take that title back.
08:35You
08:37don't know what it is
08:39to feel, to have the gut feeling,
08:41to want
08:43to be the best
08:45every day of your life.
08:47Well, now they tell me
08:49you've asked for the cage.
08:51That means your name is on the line.
08:53The steel cage goes up.
08:55That means you bleed,
08:57you sweat,
08:59and you pay the price.
09:01Ask around this sport.
09:03I have beaten
09:05every great wrestler
09:07alive today.
09:09The steel cage makes
09:11notice. If it's you
09:13and me with the giant as a referee,
09:15I still
09:17will be number one.
09:19Ladies and gentlemen,
09:21this match is set for one fall.
09:23Introducing first from Austin, Texas,
09:25weighing 260 pounds,
09:27The Natural, Dustin
09:29Rose.
09:31And the fighter from Chattanooga, Tennessee,
09:33Greg Sawyer.
09:35All right, The Natural, Dustin Rose,
09:37very briefly, apparently, as we heard
09:39last week and once again this week, The Nature Boy,
09:41Ric Flair, more than ready to go against Sting
09:43in the cage with a special
09:45referee. Well, you know,
09:47Ric Flair, after all his glorious
09:49years, he's always ready, Tony. You have
09:51to be to be a seven-time world champion.
09:53Sting, on the other hand, is going to stoop
09:55to no lows, I bet you any money,
09:57to get back the belt he once wore.
09:59The Natural, Dustin Rose,
10:01who has had a tremendous winning streak
10:03in the last month or so right here on the pro
10:05Great Pirates carry. Very impressive.
10:07He's doing what he has to do. Not only does he have
10:09to go out and fill a big pair of shoes
10:11because that's what the people are going to
10:13be looking for. This
10:15young man here, Dustin Rose, has no
10:17choice. He just has
10:19a born pressure on him
10:21and it's either going to make him great
10:23or burn him out real fast. I think it's
10:25apparent it's going to make him great.
10:27It looks like it so far.
10:29Over the
10:31top now, Dustin. Look at that
10:33dropkick. Big guy like
10:35that with a dropkick. And what
10:37impresses me so much about Dustin is that
10:39that he is so
10:41and you can see it, how
10:43much confidence he has in each and every move that he
10:45does at such an early age.
10:47Well, he does have the confidence.
10:49Don't forget, Tony, he might be an early
10:51age in terms of being a pro, but Dustin
10:53Rose has been wrestling since childhood.
10:55This man has been familiar with wrestling
10:57for at least 20 years.
10:59Well, and that's a great point, Larry,
11:01and that's certainly something that applies to the
11:03man we'll see next. Barry Windham coming up next.
11:05Right now, Dustin, in the back of the
11:07ropes as Sawyer is trying to
11:09manhandle this big guy, but how in the world
11:11do you do it? No way you're going to
11:13knock down Dustin Rose.
11:15Dustin waited on him. Great sense of
11:17timing right there. He knew what he wanted to do.
11:19He's got the leverage, and
11:21he knows from his father after he executes
11:23that move, lock that hold on.
11:25Look at the pressure he's putting on
11:27his shoulder, and Dustin's a big man.
11:31The fan's right with him here
11:33as Dustin Rose continues this
11:35hot streak in the WCW
11:37World Championship Wrestling. For a young man,
11:39he's got the qualities of an experienced
11:41professional. He does that move,
11:43grabs that hold, sets that man up,
11:45knocks on that one point.
11:47Wow. Clothesline.
11:49Dustin.
11:51The interesting thing is, Tony,
11:53I'd like to see Dustin matched up with
11:55someone more than equal.
11:57I'd like to see Dustin Rose
11:59wrestle Barry Windham. Wow.
12:03Sending Sawyer up high
12:05and down hard,
12:07and now has Sawyer into the corner. A little
12:09mean streak in him right there, too. Getting those slaps in.
12:11Dustin moved
12:13out of the way.
12:15And the Bulldog! Boy, he's quick
12:17with putting that Bulldog on you, ain't he?
12:19You're right. Out of nowhere, and that is all.
12:21The winner of the match,
12:23Dustin Rose!
12:25All right. Dustin Rose with a sensational
12:27win. Larry, I know you've got to
12:29get prepared for your legend segment, and then
12:31you've got to get dressed to wrestle.
12:33My real man segment.
12:35Let's take a look at this. Call it for us.
12:37I tell you, there's really not much to call it. Dustin,
12:39very impressive right here. Boom, up in the air
12:41for a big man.
12:43Bam, but here's what I like. He can
12:45put that Bulldog on you when
12:47you're not expecting it. Bam!
12:49Right there. He caught the man
12:51sleeping. He can put that hold on from any position.
12:53That's a good weapon.
12:55Rolls him over, hooks the leg,
12:57brings back the weight. One, two,
12:59three.
13:11Opponents I've faced.
13:13None's been tougher than
13:15pain. Snelly, old-fashioned
13:17liniments never helped much, but today's
13:19trainers have something that works.
13:21Aloe Vera-based Flexol 454.
13:23When one pain-relieving gel
13:25is endorsed by the athletic trainers in
13:27pro football, baseball, basketball, and hockey,
13:29you know it's the best.
13:31Sideline with pain?
13:33Get back in the game with Flexol.
13:35It's a winner. Flexol.
13:37The pain-relief pro trainers
13:39recommend.
13:41You know, if we could keep it down for a second,
13:43I don't have respect
13:45for too many people,
13:47but I do have
13:49respect for men who say it
13:51like it is, who aren't afraid
13:53to come out and speak
13:55the truth and what is on their mind,
13:57and this is one man right here,
13:59Diamond Dallas Page.
14:01You know, Larry,
14:03how appropriate for Diamond Dallas
14:05Page to be here in the
14:07living legends right here, brother.
14:09You are a living legend. Undoubtedly,
14:11Diamond Dallas Page is a living legend.
14:13I have already rocked World Championship
14:15Wrestling by capturing
14:17the World Tag Team Championship.
14:19I'm talking about the fabulous Freebirds.
14:21I put the fabulous back
14:23in Freebirds.
14:25You did. You did.
14:27You had a setback. What are we
14:29going to do now, Dallas? That's the
14:31question I want to ask. What
14:33are the Freebirds going to do now?
14:35I'm glad you asked, because I'm sure all these
14:37Copenhagen dippin', coupon
14:39clippin', draft beer drinkin' rednecks
14:41are dying to know, brother.
14:43You know, I can't be all places
14:45all the time, so I brought
14:47an associate,
14:49a road boss, if you will,
14:51into the Diamond Exchange.
14:53A man direct from
14:55Bad Street, Daytona,
14:57the home of Bike Week, baby.
14:59I'm talking about a man who eats lightning
15:01and burps thunder, and his name
15:03is Big Daddy
15:05Dink. And brother, he's going to be taking care
15:07of business on the road for me.
15:09And anybody who gets in the way of the Freebirds now,
15:11it's going to be like shooting spitballs
15:13at a battleship.
15:15We'll be back.
15:17You know, Brian,
15:19when someone comes out
15:21after
15:23getting trashed
15:25like the dog that you are,
15:27and they run their mouth,
15:29and they scream loud
15:31about what they're going to do to someone,
15:33you're telling
15:35me one thing,
15:37you're telling the people one thing,
15:39you're telling yourself one thing,
15:41that you're a coward,
15:43and that you know you're
15:45a coward.
15:47If you ever
15:49stick your stupid, pathetic
15:51face in my business again,
15:53I'm going to promise you something, Brian.
15:55I said it once, that I was sorry
15:57that you
15:59walked away from the hospital.
16:01The next time,
16:03I won't have to say I'm sorry, Brian,
16:05because you know when you look
16:07in my eyes, it's over.
16:09Because I am Sid Vicious,
16:11and Sid Vicious
16:13rules the world.
16:21From Sweetwater, Texas,
16:23at 269 pounds,
16:25Barry Windham!
16:29Entering his opponent
16:31from Washington, D.C.,
16:33Tommy Angel!
16:35Barry Windham
16:37in singles competition here
16:39on the Pro Channel 9
16:41here in Chicago, Tony Smiley, Larry Zubisko
16:43back getting ready, he will be wrestling in just a few moments,
16:45but before the match gets any further,
16:47here's some comments we heard earlier on
16:49from the big man, Barry Windham.
16:51Any championship belt
16:53in championship wrestling
16:55is not safe, because
16:57Barry Windham is after any championship
16:59that any person is wearing.
17:01The U.S. title, the TV title,
17:03the world title,
17:05something is soon going to be mine.
17:07Barry Windham on a roll here
17:09as he goes underneath Tommy Angel,
17:11and Angel with a drop kick down on Windham, watch out!
17:13That time the big guy just swatted him
17:15out of the way.
17:17Windham, apparently going to make 1991
17:19a year where he is going to go
17:21to the top. The right hand to the face.
17:23And who to deny
17:25the success that Barry Windham has.
17:27He is still
17:29a very young man, but he is still very much
17:31a veteran.
17:33Now, with the man from D.C.,
17:35Tommy Angel sending him in,
17:37the Flying Lariat from the near side ropes.
17:39And buddy,
17:41you're talking about jerking a head back.
17:43That's like whiplash
17:45in a car wreck right there.
17:47And now the boots,
17:49the leather boots right to the ear.
17:51Say hello to your mom.
17:53Hey mom,
17:55how does that look?
17:59You know, they say that Sweetwater, Texas
18:01is known for
18:03rattlesnakes.
18:05And also for Barry Windham,
18:07and I guess Barry is showing that mean rattlesnake
18:09streak right here.
18:13And the pile driver
18:16showing an array
18:18of offensive moves, Windham.
18:26Right to the
18:28arm,
18:30to the back
18:32of the neck, and to the midsection.
18:34And still to come, Jack Brickhouse
18:36here on Channel 9. And look at that.
18:38Just picked him up
18:40like a deadlift that time
18:42and powered him over with a side suplex.
18:44Windham.
18:50Sending Angel head first.
18:52You know, Zabisco had mentioned
18:54on an earlier match we saw with Windham
18:56that he is very deliberate.
18:58But that is by design.
19:00Windham is in command
19:02of each and every offensive move he has.
19:09Intimidation, one of the names
19:11of the game for Barry Windham.
19:14Now look at this.
19:16That of course is
19:18twofold.
19:20The purpose behind that, that's to get the
19:22job done as far as
19:24the assault is concerned,
19:26but also to send a message to anyone out there
19:28watching on at World Championship Wrestling.
19:30After pounding Angel in the corner,
19:32Windham
19:37drops the leg.
19:40He looks so much
19:42at ease out there, so nonchalant
19:44when he wrestles.
19:46And that's a sign of a multi-talented
19:48professional athlete right there.
19:53Barry Windham, watch out!
19:55Oh my!
19:57And the fans really
19:59responding to that, a clothesline.
20:05Tell me, Angel.
20:08Like Buddy right now.
20:12Windham, Lee Scott
20:14ordered him back in.
20:17And now back to the ring.
20:21You know, we talk so much about
20:23his size and the speed he has
20:25compared to the size of the frame,
20:27but let's also talk about the endurance
20:29of Barry Windham.
20:31He is a well-conditioned athlete
20:33who is setting his man up
20:35for the big one,
20:37the superplex.
20:41There she goes!
20:45How about that?
20:47The winner of the match is
20:49Barry Windham!
20:51Windham
20:55drops another one.
20:57It looks so effortless
20:59for him too.
21:01This is on Nintendo PowerPlay
21:03and a lot of power moves from Windham
21:05including the flying lariat earlier on
21:07and then the superplex.
21:11And as we've said so many times
21:13with Barry Windham, it's pretty much academic
21:15that he's going to bring it home
21:17when he puts him up top.
21:19Nintendo, now you're playing with power.
21:25Hey!
21:27...get a refund from the IRS.
21:29Is that right? I didn't know that.
21:31It's really great news.
21:33It pays to file now.
21:35Ladies and gentlemen,
21:37this match is a special challenge match.
21:39It is set for one fall.
21:41Introducing first,
21:43from Minneapolis, Minnesota,
21:45he's the current world pillager champion,
21:47the enforcer,
21:49a member of the Four Horsemen,
21:51Arn Anderson!
22:01Arn Anderson,
22:03the world television champion.
22:05This is a special challenge match
22:07and based on what we've seen the last couple of weeks
22:09from Flying Brian,
22:11it should be quite a match.
22:15His opponent from Cincinnati, Ohio
22:17at 229 pounds,
22:21Flying Brian!
22:23Yeah!
22:29Flying Brian
22:31fears no man.
22:35You want some evidence?
22:37What about last week right here on The Probe
22:39when he went right in
22:41for the second week in a row against Sid Vicious?
22:43He has said
22:45that he wants Arn Anderson.
22:47He wants Sid Vicious.
22:49He wants Ric Flair and he wants Barry Windham
22:51one at a time.
22:53And Arn Anderson
22:55doing a good job now with a stone face
22:57but he has to be
22:59concerned because Flying Brian has been doing
23:01things that no man has done.
23:03Still has that left shoulder
23:05bandaged up, taped up
23:07from Wrestle War.
23:11And Anderson reminding
23:13him of the injury.
23:15Trying to psych him out here.
23:17You know it's got to hurt on a collar and elbow tie-up.
23:19Right to the face.
23:21Anderson was looking at him and I think it's apparent
23:23here and Anderson is a very
23:25very smart wrestler.
23:27He is going to go right to the shoulder.
23:29And Flying Brian's got to try to win a match
23:31in the same time
23:33he's got to try to protect that shoulder
23:35and that's got to be a tough thing to do.
23:50Right to the collar and elbow tie-up again.
23:52Anderson goes to the midsection.
23:54And a left hand to the head. He's just trying to soften him up now.
23:56And here he goes using that left arm.
23:58Over the top. Flying Brian
24:00goes to the other side. Faked him out there.
24:02Anderson not sure where he is.
24:04Drunken!
24:06Flying Brian!
24:10And he's going to go after an apparent injury
24:12that Anderson has on the left groin there.
24:14Right around the thigh muscle.
24:16Anderson
24:18sends him to the post.
24:22And there it is.
24:24Again.
24:28That's where he wanted him on the outside.
24:32You're talking about the caliber of athletes
24:34in World Championship Wrestling.
24:36Men in here bandaged up.
24:38Going at it.
24:40Anderson coming in. He walked right into it that time.
24:44And here on WCW Pro Chicago
24:46our fans in Chicago
24:48waiting for April 28th to arrive
24:50at our next big event at the Pavilion.
24:52Leon Anderson
24:54going right to work on that left arm.
24:56And you just have to wonder
24:58how much pressure
25:00Flying Brian can take.
25:06To the side of the head.
25:08And again
25:10using that one arm and sending the
25:12World TV Champion down
25:14into the corner.
25:20Sends Anderson over.
25:22Over the top!
25:24Brian caught himself on the
25:26apron but Anderson still
25:28It's Brian
25:30sending Anderson down.
25:32Flying Brian up.
25:34He's got him!
25:38And Sid Vicious coming in!
25:40He said last week
25:42there'd be a time that would be his!
25:46Sid Vicious
25:48playing like Flying Brian!
25:50The powerbomb!
25:52Over the top!
25:54He missed him!
25:56Look at him!
25:58Both fighting Flying Brian!
26:04And another clothesline!
26:06Oh he was going to put him out with a powerbomb.
26:08And now both men
26:10stopping Brian.
26:12The match is long over.
26:14They pick him up
26:16and slam him down again!
26:20And now they're going to try to
26:22re-injure that shoulder.
26:24What am I saying? Re-injure. They're going to try to further
26:26injure that shoulder.
26:28Double Axe Handle!
26:30Finally!
26:32Dustin Rhodes! Big Josh!
26:34Tommy Richerad!
26:36It has been done!
26:40Take a look at him!
26:42Because when you mess with the horsemen
26:44you're messing with the wrong people!
26:48The match is over. I guess Brian
26:50will win by disqualification.
26:52Here on the Pro Bats. Stay right where you are.
26:56You know one of the most
26:58interesting men in the ring today
27:00to me is Beautiful Bobby.
27:02And I'll tell you why.
27:04He was one of the best tag team wrestlers
27:06around. One of the best.
27:08Got a lot of boos, but he was still
27:10outstanding. Now
27:12Bobby's on his own.
27:14Question. What's going to happen with him?
27:16After many years of hearing
27:18the boos, of course, on that tag team
27:20what about now that he's on his own?
27:22And you know what's happening? He's being
27:24cheered. The fans have taken to him.
27:26He's actually a little bit puzzled on
27:28how to take all this.
27:30He hasn't changed his style. Not at all.
27:32He's still the great high-flying sensation
27:34that he always was. As a matter of fact, this guy
27:36flies like Superman, it seems to me.
27:38But we'll just have to wait and see
27:40what the future holds for him.
27:42There's no denying the talent is there.
27:44And when the talent is there,
27:46sooner or later, it will manifest itself.
27:48We're going to wait
27:50and see what happens to Bobby.
27:52I'm Jack Brickhouse with another Brickhouse

30:16Introducing first,
30:18the head of the York Foundation,
30:20Alexandria York.
30:22At 235 pounds,
30:24she presents the computerized rooster
30:26of the 90s. From Vero Beach,
30:28Florida, Terry Taylor.
30:40Set to go for one of our feature
30:42match-ups. It should be a great one.
30:44Back up to Tony Gillip.
30:46His opponent's
30:48from the dark side. He weighs in at
30:50233 pounds,
30:52Beautiful Bobby!
30:56Alright, here we go fans, and you know
30:58it wasn't
31:00too long ago.
31:02As a matter of fact,
31:04just two weeks ago, right here on Channel 9,
31:06we saw
31:10Beautiful Bobby attacked
31:12by Terry Taylor and Buddy Landell
31:14and the Z-Man coming to his aid,
31:16although the Z-Man got nailed by Beautiful Bobby also.
31:18We have
31:20some comments we understand that were recorded
31:22earlier on from
31:24Alexandria York. Let's listen in.
31:26Bobby had a chance to become part of the York
31:28Foundation. He ruined it.
31:30In fact, he's become totally and utterly
31:32repulsive to me at this point.
31:34I have devised a plan
31:36and a program for this evening
31:38for Terry Taylor
31:40to embarrass Bobby.
31:42Okay, Alexandria saying that she has
31:44devised a program for this match
31:46that will embarrass Beautiful Bobby.
31:48Right now, though,
31:50it's not working.
31:54As the computerized man of the 90s
31:56retreats to the corner,
31:58Beautiful Bobby is ready for offense.
32:04Throughout the years of World Championship Wrestling,
32:06there's always been a no-nonsense approach
32:08to this sport that Beautiful Bobby has always had
32:10that has really earned respect
32:12all over the world.
32:14Right now, though, the computerized man
32:16sends him in. Hip toss.
32:18Right hand.
32:20Whoa.
32:22That will
32:24dislodge a microchip in a hurry.
32:26And Alexandria
32:28is right there with the
32:30program. One thing about
32:32her in her months
32:34that she's been at World Championship Wrestling,
32:36she, like the computer,
32:38has seemed infallible.
32:40She always is well-composed
32:42at ringside, and
32:44Terry Taylor doesn't seem to be too composed
32:46in the ring right now.
32:48The collar and elbow
32:50back to a neutral corner.
32:52And Taylor getting the blows in the midsection.
32:54Beautiful Bobby.
32:56Sending back to some punches there.
32:58And now into the corner.
33:00Bobby telegraphed at that time.
33:04And Taylor
33:06goes right to the face.
33:08Taylor on the outside with some shortcuts
33:10here. Sending Bobby
33:12back down to the mat.
33:18Stomping to the midsection.
33:22Beautiful Bobby finds himself
33:24in trouble.
33:26And this program
33:28right to the throat
33:30with the catapult that time. This program
33:32that Alexander apparently wrote
33:34to embarrass Beautiful Bobby right now
33:36is clicking right along in this match.
33:40Bobby coming off.
33:42Ready to take flight.
33:46I wonder what defense
33:48they have against this. This, of course,
33:50his primary weapon up top.
33:52Bobby taking his time.
33:54I tell you what it is. It's Buddy Landell.
33:56I wonder if he's part of the program.
33:58What are the... Oh!
34:00Down he goes.
34:02Landell nailed
34:04Bobby Landell.
34:06Down he goes.
34:08Landell nailed
34:10on the outside.
34:12And Taylor taking the measure
34:14of Beautiful Bobby.
34:16And here's the Z-Man.
34:22Z-Man out there again.
34:30Buddy Landell down.
34:32There's the Z-Man. He's down on the apron.
34:36Nick Patrick trying to restore some order here.
34:40Belly to back suplex.
34:48Two count.
34:56Terry down.
34:58Picks him up
35:00with a side backbreaker.
35:02Puts him down.
35:04A two count.
35:08Tremendous
35:10matchup.
35:14Z-Man
35:16and Landell out there.
35:18Reverse. Maybe
35:20a backslide. Landell in.
35:22Wait a minute.
35:24Z-Man in.
35:26Two count.
35:28Both men now up on the apron of the ring.
35:30Now wait a second. Nick Patrick.
35:34What's he
35:36doing here?
35:38He's telling him, by golly,
35:40if you want a tag team match, let's have one.
35:42He's putting
35:44Z-Man and Buddy Landell
35:46to their corners.
35:48We got a tag team match.
35:50And the fans are into it now.
35:58A rig to the eyes. And what began
36:00as a singles match is now
36:02apparently a tag team.
36:06Buddy Landell is going to get
36:08tagged in. And Bobby
36:10falls on the wayside. And
36:12the Z-Man apparently here to help
36:14beautiful Bobby.
36:16Right now, though, he's not helping him because he has
36:18the attention of Nick Patrick.
36:20And Bobby in trouble.
36:26Nick Patrick certainly does have
36:28the authority to do something
36:30like this because he's in charge
36:32at the ringside area.
36:34In the ring.
36:38And what has now
36:40turned into a tag team match.
36:42Bobby in trouble. You know, Bobby's been taking a
36:44lick in here, and I'm not so sure if he even
36:46realizes that this is a tag team match.
36:50Right hand. He's fighting off
36:52Buddy Landell.
36:56A rig to the eyes.
36:58To the back of the neck. A scoop.
37:00And a slam. Buddy Landell
37:02missed the elbow.
37:04Bobby in the wrong
37:06corner. And he paid for it.
37:10Right to the throat.
37:12And Landell with the
37:14stretching of the rules here.
37:18All right, Taylor. Double teaming.
37:20It's been basically
37:22like a two-on-one.
37:24But there is the Z-Man in beautiful
37:26Bobby's corner.
37:28Two count, although we're still
37:30unaware if Bobby
37:32knows or not. We're still unsure if
37:34Bobby is aware or not that
37:36Z-Man is his partner here.
37:38But Nick Patrick deemed it legal.
37:40And the fans
37:42trying to get Bobby. He missed!
37:44And Bobby, yes, he knows
37:46his man is there. He wants
37:48to make a tag.
37:50And that's exactly what he's gonna do.
37:52Z-Man!
37:56Jump kick!
37:58Super kick!
38:04And Terry Taylor makes a save.
38:06The super kick was on target.
38:08We got them all in now.
38:14Bobby cuts him down!
38:16That's it!
38:22Z-Man on the outside!
38:24Both Taylor
38:26and Landau working on Bobby.
38:28Who's gamely trying to fight him off,
38:30but he can't do it.
38:32Z-Man trying to get up on the outside!
38:34There he is!
38:36Healthy,
38:38beautiful Bobby!
38:44And Bobby now...
38:46He's down.
38:50Taylor...
38:52Wait a minute.
38:54Are they going to become friends here or what?
38:56If Taylor and Landau leave the area,
38:58they're looking in.
39:00Meanwhile, in the ring...
39:06Here they come back now!
39:12And these two men,
39:14back to back!
39:18Cindy Taylor!
39:22And Landau!
39:36They're still very tentative.
39:38It was only the last week
39:40that beautiful Bobby nailed him.
39:42Or two weeks ago, actually, here on the pro.
39:48Fans...
39:52The situation will continue, I'm sure,
39:54as they leave the ring area now. We'll be back.

42:06is as fundamentally sound
42:08in this sport as you'll find.
42:12Look at that.
42:14He has also a great martial arts background, too,
42:16and we've talked about that before.
42:18But I'm sure that
42:20all the explaining that needs to be done
42:22will happen in the ring.
42:24Zabisko.
42:26A pickup and a hard slam.
42:32And you heard the rousing round
42:34of boos he received from the fans
42:36as he walked into the ring
42:38trying to intimidate his opponent right here,
42:40Lee Scott.
42:42Not much Lee can do here, but tell him,
42:44come on, let's get it on here.
42:46Some action, and that's exactly what he's doing.
42:48Showing some power.
42:52Zabisko throws him up
42:54and pins him.
42:56The winner of the match, the legend himself,
42:58Larry Zabisko.
43:04Tommy, it's like a dream come true.
43:06I travel all this way just to see you,
43:08and now you tell me I can get in the ring
43:10and I can beat those people up right alongside
43:12like I see you do on TV.
43:14It's a big difference.
43:16You shocked me when you was here.
43:18I'm glad to see you come down.
43:20I've been hunting with you and everything else.
43:22You come down to my field
43:24and a little unorthodox,
43:26but I'm glad you're here.
43:28There's WCW, World Championship Wrestling.
43:30They're giving everybody a chance.
43:32You and me's got a chance.
43:34I've got some World Tag Team title belts.
43:36I can be your partner?
43:38All right!
43:40I can be your partner like I see you on TV all the time.
43:42I talk to Jim Ross every now and then,
43:44but right now, we're coming down, Big Josh.
43:46You and me, heck with all the bears.
43:48We're coming after the bears
43:50with the world titles, the US titles.
43:52Bring it on down
43:54because Big Josh got the big stick
43:56and we're coming to take care of business.
43:58And you, Leonard, don't you forget to feed my dogs.
44:00Feed that dog down.
44:08What is real?
44:10Is he for real?
44:14Promotional consideration
44:16paid for by the following.
44:18Cobra won't be satisfied
44:20until they rule the world.
44:22Can they be stopped?
44:24It's up to G.I. Joe.
44:26G.I. Joe!
44:28G.I. Joe!
44:30They stole your mind.
44:32Get it back with Total Recall
44:34and you'll be a hero.
44:36They stole your mind.
44:38Get it back with Total Recall for Nintendo.
44:40Based on a blockbuster movie.
44:42Total Recall from Acclaim.
44:44The action game you'll never forget.
44:46Knock for your NES.
44:48Take on Mr. Big and bust his criminal empire.
44:50The arcade smash two-player action.
44:52Not from Acclaim.
44:54No one had the guts until now.
44:56Starting your engine's a terrible thing to do
44:58because at startup, oil's in the pan,
45:00not in the engine.
45:02Startup lubrication that lasts over 50,000 miles.
45:04Engine wear protector.
45:08Today's program was brought to you in part by
45:10Peanut Butter Snickers.
45:12Well, Rick,
45:14and I'm talking to you, Rick Blair,
45:16you know something?
45:18I am so sick and tired
45:20of your face.
45:22I'm tired of your new haircut.
45:24I'm tired of your attitude.
45:26I'm tired of walking that aisle.
45:28I'm tired of you yelling and screaming
45:30with that big nose of yours.
45:32You got a bleed sting!
45:34You got a sweat!
45:36So I'm gonna change it up now.
45:38I'm gonna do all that and add one more thing to it
45:40to make it the way I want it.
45:42In a cage.
45:44Ladies and gentlemen,
45:46this match is set for one fall.
45:48Introducing first,
45:50from the great state of Georgia,
45:52at 283 pounds,
45:54Rod Simmons!
45:56In the ring,
45:58his opponent,
46:00at 283 pounds,
46:02Rip Rodgers!
46:08You know, only one word comes to mind
46:10when you think of Rod Simmons now
46:12based on the statement we heard at the top of the program,
46:14and that is business.
46:16He is all business and he's all men.
46:20And Rip Rodgers
46:22has the wrong strategy,
46:24running right at Rod Simmons,
46:26for crying out loud.
46:28Rip Rodgers
46:30with a headbutt
46:34right on the chest
46:36and sending Rip Rodgers
46:38face first.
46:42As vicious as ever.
46:44And what a tremendous
46:48turn of events we had last week.
46:50Not really turn of events, but I guess
46:52adding fuel to the fire last week
46:54when Hacksaw Butch Reed
46:56sent him in on Rod Simmons
46:58and then Rod Simmons came right back
47:00on our Larry Z's Legends
47:04and gave it right back to him.
47:08Simmons, just too much man
47:10for Rip Rodgers.
47:14Actually, too much man
47:16for most.
47:18Sends him in!
47:20So now the situation
