00:00:00You are looking live as we come
00:00:01to you as Spring Break 1997
00:00:02begins.
00:00:03From Panama City Beach, Florida
00:00:04welcome live to Dennis Rodman
00:00:05on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
00:00:31Monday Nitro on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico at Pobla Vila where tonight two hours wide
00:00:40World Championship Wrestling presents Professional Wrestling's number one weekly program.
00:00:46It's Spring Breakout 1997 as Spring Break is underway.
00:00:52Tony Schiavone, Larry Zabisco for our number one and boy do we have a lot to talk about
00:00:59with Larry Zabisco and we'll be giving the fans some great action as well.
00:01:03We do understand though before we talk about what you've just seen that we are going to
00:01:07be going outside because the limousine is pulling up and we want to get our cameras
00:01:13out there for that.
00:01:15There you see we are in the back of the club La Vila right now and that is a white limousine
00:01:20pulling up, our cameras are out there, fans are standing and cheering and usually the
00:01:25NWO comes in a black limousine.
00:01:27Yeah well I don't know who's in that, we'll find out right now.
00:01:31Alright let's see who that's going to be coming up and arriving.
00:01:34Oh it's Roddy Roddy Piper.
00:01:37There's Roddy, hey.
00:01:39John Tenna, there's his team members with him.
00:01:44And Piper has arrived here to Club La Vila with his team members tonight and what a program
00:01:53we anticipate as Piper has arrived.
00:01:56Now you saw at the top of the program as we're going to be going to the ring for action.
00:02:00You saw at the top of the program Hogan and Dennis Rodman.
00:02:04The talk of the sports world this weekend on all the major programs on CNN, radio talk
00:02:12shows, also in the newspapers has been that Dennis Rodman is joining the NWO.
00:02:18Well you know that was according to all the media Tony but so far it has not been confirmed
00:02:25by the New World Order.
00:02:26Not yet it hasn't.
00:02:27Well not yet, maybe we'll find out later.
00:02:30I think you saw at the top of the program there that we will find out later in this
00:02:34program if in fact the NWO will, hello there young ladies, that the NWO will confirm yes
00:02:41or no that Dennis Rodman will join the New World Order tonight.
00:02:45One of the most colorful figures in all of sports, Dennis Rodman and Hollywood Hulk Hogan
00:02:51together as we open up our program.
00:02:53I hear Rodman's got a new movie coming out.
00:02:55He certainly does.
00:02:56He's got a brand new movie with Jean-Claude Van Damme coming out.
00:02:59We'll be talking about that during the course of this telecast as well.
00:03:02We have, as we always do everywhere we go, a capacity crown on hand for WCW Monday Night
00:03:09Show.
00:03:10Very unique tonight.
00:03:11We are right in the middle outdoors at Club Movila and you can see the participants are
00:03:15walking to the ring that is really in the center of the pool here.
00:03:21It's kind of like a floating ring, Larry.
00:03:23First time ever in our sport.
00:03:25That's kind of dangerous, Tony.
00:03:27I mean, when the ring is stable, you got good footing, good balance.
00:03:30But when the ring is not perfectly stationary, balance can be thrown off and, you know, tides
00:03:36can turn.
00:03:37That's going to be dangerous wrestling on a floating ring.
00:03:41Scott Dickinson, the referee, high voltage against the team of Steve Mongo McMichael
00:03:46and Jeff Jarrett.
00:03:48Jeff Jarrett.
00:03:49Quit looking at Debra and spit it out.
00:03:50Sorry about that.
00:03:51You caught me, didn't you?
00:03:52We have a lot of talent here and a lot of wrestlers.
00:03:55Yes, we do.
00:03:56And here we go.
00:03:57The bell sounds and we are off and running.
00:03:59We have a great program for you fans.
00:04:01And as you notice, Steve Mongo McMichael still with a mark and a cut above his left eye.
00:04:06And that was courtesy of that Halliburton case that Jeff Jarrett inadvertently hit him
00:04:11in the head with last week.
00:04:12And let me say this, as we head into Uncensored this coming Sunday, McMichael and Jarrett
00:04:18as a tag team are 0 for 2.
00:04:21Yeah, again, you're talking about fueling the fire.
00:04:24I don't know.
00:04:25This is a good idea.
00:04:26I mean, it backfired twice on him so far.
00:04:28Like you said, 0 for 2.
00:04:29And again, Jeff Jarrett and McMichaels are in the ring together.
00:04:34Forearm shot.
00:04:35All the superstars are here tonight.
00:04:37The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, we understand is here, as we talked about during the course
00:04:41of this past weekend.
00:04:42Members of the Horsemen are here.
00:04:44There's a big hip toss.
00:04:45As you can see, two of them right now.
00:04:47That means that Arne Anderson can't be far behind.
00:04:50Look at that explosion out of the scrimmage line.
00:04:52Here he goes again.
00:04:54McMichaels, he knows how to hit him.
00:04:56He hits him low.
00:04:57He sends him up in the air.
00:04:58Goes for the knees and high voltage.
00:05:01Well, one ran out.
00:05:02One got left behind.
00:05:07Forearm shot.
00:05:08Double team here.
00:05:09And now Jeff Jarrett.
00:05:10Let me say something about what happened last week.
00:05:12They really got on Jeff Jarrett for what he did.
00:05:15And they didn't get on Steve Mango McMichael.
00:05:17Great double teamwork for what he did two weeks ago.
00:05:20And his blow two weeks ago, if we'll recall, in Sacramento, California, was on purpose, Larry.
00:05:25Yeah, that was deliberate again.
00:05:26I think it was too much emotion.
00:05:29Nice swing and neck breaker by Jarrett.
00:05:31Of course, we had an accident last week.
00:05:33But I don't know.
00:05:35You keep looking at that gash in McMichael's head.
00:05:37And you wonder, can he maintain his composure?
00:05:41We'll find out.
00:05:42So far, they look pretty darn good as a tag team.
00:05:45Great double teaming.
00:05:46Great tag teamwork against a young, powerful team like High Voltage.
00:05:53Up and coming team in our sport.
00:05:55And Jeff Jarrett, of course, a veteran as well.
00:05:57There's an uppercut.
00:05:59Jarrett will whip him now.
00:06:00No good reversal.
00:06:01That is chaos.
00:06:03Whoa.
00:06:04And he rushed in.
00:06:05And he telegraphed it as well.
00:06:06But down goes Jarrett.
00:06:07Nailed by Rage.
00:06:08And Rage now.
00:06:09Here comes a double team from High Voltage.
00:06:10As Jarrett pulled off a nice move.
00:06:12Moved out of the way.
00:06:13But moved into the wrong corner.
00:06:14And Rage caught him.
00:06:17They're double teaming him back.
00:06:19Done a good job of it as well.
00:06:21Double team.
00:06:22Yeah, this team reminds me of the Harlem Heat
00:06:24when they were starting off.
00:06:26I mean, hungry, very aggressive.
00:06:27If they had some management, a little guidance,
00:06:30High Voltage could be, you know, diamonds on rough.
00:06:35They certainly could.
00:06:36As we said.
00:06:38Whoa.
00:06:39Boy, great move that time.
00:06:40And here's a cover.
00:06:41One, two.
00:06:42Kind of like a catapult maneuver from the outside in.
00:06:45You ask any tag team, any veteran tag team,
00:06:48who's the top young tag team in our sport right now?
00:06:51When you talk about rookies, they'll all say High Voltage.
00:06:54And right now, they are showing exactly why.
00:06:56Taking care of the horsemen here in the opening moments
00:07:00of this matchup here from Club La Villa.
00:07:03Spring Breakout 1997.
00:07:05Spring Break is underway.
00:07:07We're on TNT.
00:07:08We're glad to kick it off for you.
00:07:10Yeah, and there's a kick right underneath the arm of Jarrett.
00:07:12High Voltage.
00:07:13Boy, they had Jarrett in a nice position in their corner.
00:07:15Don't throw him off.
00:07:16We'll keep him in that ring positioning.
00:07:21There's a pickup.
00:07:23Great vertical suplex.
00:07:24And there's a great tag in here up on top.
00:07:27Springboard.
00:07:28Oh.
00:07:29Wow.
00:07:30A little too high on the springboard.
00:07:32And Jarrett saw it.
00:07:33I'm surprised Jarrett didn't make the tag, though.
00:07:35He stays in.
00:07:36You don't want to stay in too long.
00:07:38Yeah, of course.
00:07:40So much talk.
00:07:41You know, we talked about the news reports, the wire services, CNN,
00:07:46the lead story, and many local telecasts about Dennis Rodman
00:07:51joining the New World Order.
00:07:53There's been a lot of talk also about the rules as it applies
00:07:56to the main event at Uncensored this coming Sunday
00:08:01for Randy Roddy Piper, who just arrived with his team.
00:08:04If his team wins that three-teamed event,
00:08:07if one man from his team is the last man standing,
00:08:10Piper is going to get a cage match with Hogan down the road.
00:08:13Oh.
00:08:14Oh, that was a nasty neckbreaker by McMichael,
00:08:17this big explosive guy.
00:08:19He's got high voltage in trouble.
00:08:21Don't waste too much time, Mongo.
00:08:24Steve McMichael looking out at the crowd.
00:08:26He's back to the point of attack once again.
00:08:28Look at the power.
00:08:29Look with ease.
00:08:30He picks the man up.
00:08:31He's going to pile drive him right here.
00:08:34Hey, he's a big, strong guy.
00:08:35I think he wasted too many years in football.
00:08:37This guy is a natural.
00:08:40And it gets the win for the Horsemen.
00:08:43And I tell you, you know, the last two weeks, yes,
00:08:46they had their rough spots,
00:08:47but you got to give it to Jared and Mongo.
00:08:49They realized their horsemen.
00:08:51They came back.
00:08:52They put the differences behind them, Larry,
00:08:55and they won going away in the opening bout here on Nitro.
00:08:59Well, maybe Jared made it through that baptism of fire.
00:09:02This third time's the charm, Tony.
00:09:05And now they're two for one, but nothing happened.
00:09:08These guys controlled themselves.
00:09:09And look at right here.
00:09:10McMichaels had a nice neck breaker,
00:09:13held on to that neck, snapped it,
00:09:15drove him straight down.
00:09:17And boy, just that easy victory for the Horsemen.
00:09:20Influence of Arn Anderson and Ric Flair
00:09:22definitely showing through.
00:09:26We have a lot still to come in this program,
00:09:28including public enemy against Harlem Heat.
00:09:31In our main event, but right now,
00:09:33let's go to Mean Gene Oakland.
00:09:36All right, I thank you very much,
00:09:37Tony Schiavone and Larry Zabisco.
00:09:39If I would have known it was going to be this much fun,
00:09:41I would have went to school.
00:09:42Just kidding.
00:09:43Please join me in welcoming to Spring Break,
00:09:46ladies and gentlemen, Rowdy Roddy Piper.
00:09:54The man who is the icon of our sport.
00:09:59And as always, Larry, an eruption.
00:10:03When they hear the bagpipes,
00:10:05when his name is announced,
00:10:06there you see it, Piper the icon.
00:10:09And his team is with him.
00:10:11And here he comes.
00:10:15Always interesting to hear what Roddy has to say,
00:10:18and I'm sure it's going to be a good one.
00:10:21This guy holds nothing back.
00:10:23He speaks his mind.
00:10:25That's the sign of a real man, Tony.
00:10:27Not too many of them left in the 1990s.
00:10:31And his team members have kilts on, Larry,
00:10:33each and every one of them.
00:10:36You see the size of Kenta's kilt?
00:10:38Talk about wrestling under the big top.
00:10:42I think that pretty much says it.
00:10:44Gentlemen, come on in if you would, please.
00:10:47Piper the icon.
00:10:49Rowdy Roddy Piper, welcome to Spring Break.
00:10:53I'll tell you something, man.
00:10:56Mama told me not to come.
00:10:57I ain't never seen so many pretty women
00:11:00all in one place at one time.
00:11:03Spring Break!
00:11:08I've been seeing a little bit of that myself, yes.
00:11:10When I was a kid, Spring Break meant to me
00:11:13that the last spring of my mattress was gone.
00:11:16That's how I got six kids.
00:11:18Uncensored!
00:11:20Speaking of uncensored,
00:11:22what's in the game plan for this coming Sunday night
00:11:25in Charleston, South Carolina?
00:11:27Wait a second.
00:11:28I'll tell you what.
00:11:29I got a lot to say about some critics here.
00:11:32I've been just getting hammered by critics.
00:11:35Howard Stern.
00:11:37He won't have me on his show
00:11:39because he's afraid, you see.
00:11:41Go one-on-one with me.
00:11:43He's been knocking me and saying all kinds of bad things
00:11:46about me trying to give some guys a break.
00:11:49Well, Howard Stern and your private parts,
00:11:52let me tell you something about Howard Stern.
00:11:54Howard Stern is hung like a pimple.
00:11:57Uncensored!
00:11:59Wild field mouse.
00:12:01Uncensored!
00:12:04And then let's take a look at the other side
00:12:08of this uncensored pay-per-view we got.
00:12:11We got Dennis Rodman.
00:12:13Hey, Denny, number one,
00:12:16it's a kilt, not a dress,
00:12:18so don't be pinching my buns.
00:12:21I believe somebody put the arm on him one time for that.
00:12:24Yes. I'll tell you something else.
00:12:26He has tattoo parts on him.
00:12:29Me, I'm in the middle, folks.
00:12:31I got metal parts on me,
00:12:33and I'm sick of the critics.
00:12:35You know the W.W.
00:12:37Huh?
00:12:39You got that right.
00:12:41You know what they said?
00:12:42The W.W. says to me over the television,
00:12:46we have no one-hip wrestlers
00:12:50in our pay-per-views.
00:12:52You're right!
00:12:54You have no one hip in your pay-per-views.
00:12:58That's why everybody's watching ours.
00:13:02And I'll tell you something else.
00:13:05W.W.
00:13:06You're a liar!
00:13:08Uncensored, right?
00:13:09This is uncensored now.
00:13:11Oh, baby!
00:13:12Because when I was in the W.W.
00:13:15and I beat the dog out of gold dust,
00:13:18I had one hip.
00:13:21What about that time?
00:13:23Huh?
00:13:24Get away from him.
00:13:25Tired of the critics.
00:13:27I'm gonna tell you something.
00:13:29These men here got more guts inside of them.
00:13:32They may not be polished, but they're my family,
00:13:35and I am not a fair-weather friend.
00:13:37I am not somebody that is gonna fake these people
00:13:40and walk away from them
00:13:42because all the critics are going,
00:13:44Nah, nah, nah, nah!
00:13:46You know what, you critics?
00:13:48You couldn't put a damn diaper on if you had to, man.
00:13:52I think we know who you're talking about.
00:13:55This is my family.
00:13:58Hey, but that's Flair's music.
00:14:02That's the music that can only mean one thing,
00:14:05Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie.
00:14:08The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, Arne Anderson,
00:14:11Steve Mongo, McMichael, the lovely Deborah, Jeff Jarrett,
00:14:14the four horsemen are here.
00:14:16Is this good or bad?
00:14:18Boy, that's a question.
00:14:19Well, considering your behind-the-scenes relationship
00:14:23with the Nature Boy, Ric Flair, it can't be bad.
00:14:27I think this probably sets the tenor of this conversation.
00:14:30Whoo!
00:14:32As the enforcer, Arne Anderson, enters the ring first.
00:14:36He deserves an answer.
00:14:38You know that, Arne.
00:14:40Now, Roddy Piper,
00:14:43all these guys must think an awful lot of you
00:14:47to have came out here last week
00:14:49and took the beating that they took
00:14:51to try to be a part of this.
00:14:54And gentlemen, with all due respect,
00:14:56you got a lot of heart,
00:14:58but this is a job for professionals.
00:15:01Now, Roddy, we offered our services to you
00:15:04one time before.
00:15:06The fact of the matter is,
00:15:09Hulk Hogan and the NWO have gotten to all of us.
00:15:13They've dropped Flair.
00:15:15They've dropped myself.
00:15:17And there's been one rule of thumb
00:15:19all through professional wrestling
00:15:21that has always held true.
00:15:23When a burglar comes to the ring,
00:15:25he's got to be a professional.
00:15:28When a burglar breaks into your house,
00:15:30you don't squirt him with a water hose.
00:15:32You pick up something, and you bash his brains out with it.
00:15:35Now, we got a common goal.
00:15:37You and I, the Horsemen, have had a lot of problems.
00:15:40Maybe you are the rallying point for the Horsemen
00:15:44to pull this thing together for us.
00:15:46And maybe we're just the thing
00:15:48to help you pull this thing off.
00:15:51Well, wait a second.
00:15:53I tell you, this is a job for professionals.
00:15:56I tell you, this is my family.
00:15:58I preach hard rock!
00:16:03Whoo!
00:16:10We are live in Panama City, brother!
00:16:16Whoo!
00:16:19Will you take a look at the talent in this joint?
00:16:23It's you and me, side by side!
00:16:26One more time, buddy!
00:16:29In a moment when I hate taking edge off the party,
00:16:36I came out here tonight with the Four Horsemen
00:16:40to tell you, my best friend,
00:16:44that in all fairness,
00:16:47you have broken the rule that we always live by.
00:16:52Never over-match yourself.
00:16:55You've done it!
00:16:56You've put Hogan to sleep twice!
00:16:59But he'll stack the deck!
00:17:01He'll come back with Hall, Nash, Savage, the whole gang!
00:17:06You can do no more!
00:17:08You can do no more on your own.
00:17:11So I'm saying to you,
00:17:13the Enforcer, the baddest of them all,
00:17:17they got Dennis Rodman,
00:17:19we got an all-pro tackle
00:17:21that'll make Rodman into a basketball.
00:17:25And Hogan!
00:17:27Hogan!
00:17:29To you, let me say,
00:17:31the stupid little man wants back in the game.
00:17:37He wants to stand with the one and only Hot Rod!
00:17:43I want you to take the Horsemen!
00:17:46I want you to walk down!
00:17:49I want you!
00:17:50Come on! Come on!
00:17:52He's offering the Horsemen toy.
00:17:53What about it? What about it, Roddy Piper?
00:17:55He's offering the Horsemen toy for Uncensor!
00:17:57There he goes! He's off!
00:17:59Piper's shaking his head no!
00:18:01Come on! I want you!
00:18:03Oh, what about it? We need an answer!
00:18:06Time is running short, as they say.
00:18:08Come on! Hot Rod!
00:18:10Are you with the Horsemen?
00:18:13Are you with the Horsemen?
00:18:15Whoo!
00:18:18Hogan!
00:18:20Oh! Oh, great Hulk Hogan!
00:18:24It's not, it's not Roddy the Icon, Hulk Hogan!
00:18:31It's the con man!
00:18:34You're an icon, brother!
00:18:37Join the Horsemen and let's...
00:18:39Whoo!
00:18:41If the jacket fits, wear it!
00:18:43You know what?
00:18:45The jacket fits just fine.
00:18:47Let's get smart about it.
00:18:49They're my family.
00:18:50They will watch my back.
00:18:52I would be proud to fight with the Horsemen!
00:18:55He accepted!
00:18:57We have wanted to hear that!
00:18:59Tough to get it out of him!
00:19:01Tony, Larry, let's get back to you, gentlemen.
00:19:04What a revelation!
00:19:05What a blockbuster!
00:19:07And Piper has his family behind him.
00:19:10He has the Horsemen as his teammates.
00:19:12They will be a team at Uncensored.
00:19:15And if they have a man left standing in the ring,
00:19:18in the main event at Uncensored,
00:19:20Piper, down the road,
00:19:22will get Hollywood Hulk Hogan in a cage.
00:19:25You know, Hogan and the whole New World Order
00:19:27have to be going absolutely berserk.
00:19:29This is definitely a wrench in the cogs, Tony.
00:19:31This is something the New World Order did not expect.
00:19:35And I am shocked, and I'm sure the New World Order
00:19:38has got to be shocked over this happening.
00:19:41These are professionals now in the ring with Roddy Piper.
00:19:44The main event at Uncensored just got
00:19:46a whole lot more exciting and intense.
00:19:49Back with more live from Club La Vila.
00:19:51♪♪
00:19:58Welcome back to Nitro as you look live at Club La Vila
00:20:01right on the beach in Panama City, Florida.
00:20:03Good to have you with us.
00:20:05There is so much going on.
00:20:07I mean, you can't get a first segment
00:20:10with any bigger story than what we just had.
00:20:13I mean, at the top of the program,
00:20:15we heard Rodman, Dennis Rodman,
00:20:18and Hollywood Hulk Hogan together.
00:20:20We talked about Rodman becoming a part of the NWO,
00:20:24Dennis Rodman, and that still has not been confirmed
00:20:27by the NWO yet.
00:20:28And then we heard Ric Flair offer the services
00:20:31of a horseman to Piper for the main event
00:20:34at this Sunday's Uncensored, and Piper said yes.
00:20:37Well, you know, it seems like we've been waiting
00:20:38for years for a group of men to come together
00:20:41to fight the New World Order, Tony,
00:20:43and I just think we've seen it happen.
00:20:46Piper accepted the offer of Ric Flair,
00:20:49and now we have combined with the icon
00:20:52the services of the horseman.
00:20:55The New World Order has got to be in shock.
00:20:59As Prince Iokia makes his way in,
00:21:01let's take you back now to when Prince Iokia,
00:21:04about three weeks ago,
00:21:05became the world television champion.
00:21:07It happened right here on this program
00:21:09on WCW Monday Nitro against Lord Steven Regal.
00:21:12Regal was looking at Rey Mysterio Jr.,
00:21:15and then all of a sudden, one, two, three,
00:21:17he was rolled up, and it was the biggest shocker
00:21:20in a long, long time,
00:21:21and certainly the biggest shocker of 1997
00:21:25as Prince Iokia became the world television champion.
00:21:29With that in mind, we have prerecorded comments
00:21:32from Regal's close friend, Squire David Taylor.
00:21:37I've got a few words to say to you, Prince Iokia.
00:21:40I saw the way you sneaked that fall
00:21:42on my very good friend, Lord Steven Regal,
00:21:44and tonight, you are going to get a lesson
00:21:47in the finer art of wrestling.
00:21:49Okay, I'm sure he looks forward to that lesson.
00:21:51This youngster's red hot, Larry.
00:21:53Well, Iokia definitely red hot
00:21:55in terms of a supreme, what would you say,
00:21:59break over Lord Regal,
00:22:01a man much superior to him in the match skills,
00:22:03and so is Squire David Taylor,
00:22:05who obviously Lord Regal's got in there for revenge
00:22:08because Squire also a mad expert.
00:22:11Iokia's gonna have to keep moving.
00:22:14Uh-oh.
00:22:16There's that take.
00:22:17Well, that's the Humvee limousine.
00:22:23It is stopped out back once again.
00:22:26Spring break in the Humvee.
00:22:28Something's never changed.
00:22:29And the macho man, the NWO.
00:22:31That's the curves and swerves, yeah.
00:22:34And a rose, radiant.
00:22:37Paul and Nash are here, as you can see,
00:22:40as well as Ted DiBiase.
00:22:42So the NWO has arrived,
00:22:44and I guess they are going to give us a yay or nay
00:22:48on Dennis Rodman, officially.
00:22:51I want to hear what they have to say
00:22:53about the Horace and Piper joining forces.
00:22:55That's a good point.
00:22:57Let's not forget that...
00:23:00Oh, going to the back, okay.
00:23:02Let's not forget the WCW team is gonna be a part of that.
00:23:05You know, we talk so much about, you know,
00:23:07the NWO and their team gonna be a part of Uncensored.
00:23:10Hey!
00:23:11Hey!
00:23:12Wait a minute, where are they coming now?
00:23:14What's going on here?
00:23:16Somebody's down.
00:23:17Who is down?
00:23:19That's a member of the NWO, and apparently...
00:23:22I can't see from here.
00:23:23I can't see it either.
00:23:24Who is that?
00:23:28Yeah, that's Wall Street.
00:23:30That's Mr. Wall Street.
00:23:31Michael Wall Street is down.
00:23:34He has been dropped.
00:23:36Yeah, that's the second time that happened.
00:23:38Remember that happened to Bubba
00:23:40when we were live in Tampa, Florida a few weeks back.
00:23:43Wow.
00:23:46How about that?
00:23:47They come in, they celebrate.
00:23:49Another one bites the dust, so to speak.
00:23:52There you go.
00:23:54Oh, and there goes Aikea.
00:23:56Just got European uppercut by Squire Taylor.
00:23:59Taylor, cool customer inside that ring, Tony.
00:24:02Doesn't waste moves, doesn't waste energy.
00:24:05This guy's a seasoned hot man.
00:24:07Hey, hey!
00:24:09Got a one count.
00:24:10Squire David Taylor rolls through on that.
00:24:12And he almost won the World TV Belt with that one.
00:24:15Now, the winner of this goes on this Sunday
00:24:17to face Rey Mysterio Jr. for the television belt.
00:24:21One, two, three.
00:24:23It's going to be Aikea once again.
00:24:26How about that?
00:24:27I guess the kid is on a roll.
00:24:29Of course the kid's on a roll.
00:24:31You know, a lot of times you get breaks,
00:24:33but sometimes it's what you do with these breaks
00:24:36that separate the men from the boys.
00:24:38Back with more live on Nitro after this.
00:24:42Well, MTV Focus, the number one spring break site
00:24:45in the whole USA.
00:24:47And that's where we are, Club La Vila.
00:24:50We're WCW Monday Nitro.
00:24:52Tony Schiavone, Larry Zbysko.
00:24:54And for this US Heavyweight title match,
00:24:56we are joined here at the broadcast location,
00:24:59kind of impromptu, that Dean Malenko walks up here.
00:25:02And since now, he's been the head coach
00:25:04for a number of years.
00:25:06And he's been the head coach for a number of years.
00:25:09Dean Malenko walks up here, and since now,
00:25:11the former Cruiserweight champion.
00:25:13Let me say this, Dean.
00:25:14We've all been impressed with your career,
00:25:16but as of late, there's been a different
00:25:18Dean Malenko out there.
00:25:20Well, Tony, I thought it would be apropos
00:25:22that someone step forward and give the true insight
00:25:25of what the real Eddie Guerrero is all about.
00:25:28And we're going to see what Eddie Guerrero
00:25:29is about right now.
00:25:30The true Eddie Guerrero?
00:25:32I always thought I knew the true Eddie Guerrero.
00:25:34You've given us some inside information
00:25:37that we have not been privy to or something?
00:25:40Well, let's just say I've done a lot of contemplating
00:25:42over the last few weeks,
00:25:44thinking about why, why I'm asking myself,
00:25:47why is Eddie Guerrero the way he has been
00:25:49for the last couple of weeks in WCW?
00:25:52And the only thing I can conclude and come up with
00:25:54is just pure common jealousy.
00:25:57Eddie Guerrero is jealous of you.
00:25:58You got that right.
00:25:59You know, I have to agree with Dean on that.
00:26:01People have been jealous of me for years,
00:26:03and when you have the talent like Dean does,
00:26:05people are envious.
00:26:06It's human nature.
00:26:07Eddie Guerrero, Ray Mysterio Jr.,
00:26:09all the cruiserweights can't help but be jealous
00:26:12about the man of a thousand holes.
00:26:15Well, let me say this,
00:26:16and I'm not trying to defend Eddie Guerrero per se.
00:26:19I do know that last week on WCW Saturday night,
00:26:22or actually two days ago on Saturday night,
00:26:24he won a match.
00:26:25Very, you know, questionable circumstances,
00:26:28and we've been talking all about that.
00:26:30And then here against Jim Powers,
00:26:32if we go back to what happened in San Francisco,
00:26:34Snapmare Takeover,
00:26:35there's no question that Eddie was out
00:26:38to try to help you, Dean.
00:26:40Antonio, let me come and give you a little scenario
00:26:44of why I come up with that conclusion.
00:26:46And that is, you know, for the last four or five years,
00:26:49there's been two gentlemen that have stepped forward
00:26:51in the cruiserweight division,
00:26:52and have rose to the top of this sport.
00:26:55And it seems for the last year and a half
00:26:57since both myself and Mr. Guerrero have entered WCW,
00:27:00one of us has come to the top,
00:27:03and one of us has just stayed afloat.
00:27:06One of us, on three separate occasions,
00:27:08has become the cruiserweight champion.
00:27:10The other has never won it.
00:27:12One of us has been billed as a man of a thousand holds,
00:27:16and probably when a sport is finished with,
00:27:18he'll go down as one of the greatest pure wrestlers
00:27:20the sport has ever seen.
00:27:21And the other one, he does a frog splash.
00:27:25Well, you know, and I agree with you,
00:27:27all that you said, but certainly you can't deny
00:27:29that Eddie is the U.S. champ,
00:27:30and Dean Malenko gets a shot at that U.S. title
00:27:34coming up at Uncensored this Sunday,
00:27:36where this time there will be no rules,
00:27:39no disqualification.
00:27:40When we talk about the U.S. title,
00:27:42if you look back in time,
00:27:43Elodie Guerrero won that.
00:27:46With this back turn against his opponent,
00:27:49two gentlemen from the NWO come in,
00:27:52hit his opponent, lay him down
00:27:53in the middle of the ring,
00:27:55and Eddie Guerrero covers him.
00:27:57Now, in my books, I don't call that a champion.
00:28:00A champion is someone who goes out
00:28:01and gives 110% and beats the best guy
00:28:05that he can in that division.
00:28:06Anybody in my book can lay down on anybody
00:28:08that's laying down in the middle of the ring.
00:28:10Wow.
00:28:11Dean's right about that.
00:28:12One, two.
00:28:14You know, you've always been impressed with Eddie
00:28:16as much as I have, Larry.
00:28:17I mean, all of a sudden,
00:28:18you're turning the game around.
00:28:20I've been impressed with the ability of Eddie,
00:28:21but I'm much more impressed with the mad techniques
00:28:25of Dean Malenko.
00:28:26Wrestling, like you said,
00:28:27it's easy to pin a man who's already laying there.
00:28:30Well, and we're not, by me defending
00:28:32Eddie Guerrero up here,
00:28:33and I seem to be the only voice,
00:28:34I'm not, by any stretch of the imagination,
00:28:37taking anything away from the great ability
00:28:39of the man to my right,
00:28:41Dean Malenko, Cruiserweight Champion,
00:28:44many, many times in this world.
00:28:45He has dominated the scene.
00:28:47But I think, you know,
00:28:48we've got a little bit of animosity here
00:28:49that may be clouding the judgment,
00:28:51I'm not sure.
00:28:52Well, I understand that accidents
00:28:53do happen in the ring.
00:28:54Yes, your feet can get caught up in the ropes,
00:28:56but time after time,
00:28:58I've been watching Eddie Guerrero wrestle,
00:29:00his feet are in the ropes,
00:29:01he's coming out stealing my belt,
00:29:03he's pulling trunks,
00:29:04he's doing anything he can
00:29:06to gain a victory here in WCW.
00:29:08Two, three, got another victory.
00:29:09I think it's Dean, with Dean Malenko.
00:29:11Guerrero deliberately pulled powers
00:29:13into Teddy Lawrence.
00:29:14Tony, I don't have to say no more.
00:29:16Everybody out there and yourself
00:29:17just saw exactly what I've been talking about.
00:29:19Eddie Guerrero, he will do anything and everything
00:29:22to gain a victory here in WCW.
00:29:24I don't need to say no more.
00:29:25That was a masterful trick.
00:29:27Malenko puts his headset down and leaves,
00:29:30and our thanks to the man of a thousand holds,
00:29:32Dean Malenko.
00:29:33But, Gene, I don't know if you agree
00:29:35with all this or not.
00:29:36Gene, go ahead.
00:29:37Well, I don't know if I agree
00:29:38with it or not either.
00:29:39I did talk to some vacationers
00:29:41I think they're from the University of Michigan,
00:29:43and they're here celebrating spring break.
00:29:46But, Eddie Guerrero,
00:29:47they're asking me the question
00:29:48I think that everybody is.
00:29:49Is it us or is it Eddie Guerrero?
00:29:52What's going on?
00:29:53You know what?
00:29:55I am not the one that is saying
00:29:58I'm a new and improved wrestler, am I?
00:30:01No, that's Dean Malenko.
00:30:02That's right.
00:30:03Am I punching and kicking my opponent
00:30:06in the face?
00:30:07No.
00:30:09Am I punching and kicking
00:30:11and choking uncharacteristically
00:30:14like somebody I know?
00:30:16Is it?
00:30:17No, you got a point.
00:30:18That's Dean Malenko also.
00:30:19That's right.
00:30:20So, who's the person
00:30:21that doesn't seem to be himself?
00:30:25Hold on.
00:30:26Wait a second there, Eddie.
00:30:27I'm going to stop you.
00:30:28That's you.
00:30:29You don't seem to be yourself these days.
00:30:30Hey, look, I'm getting sick and tired
00:30:32of everybody.
00:30:33My friends think I'm changing.
00:30:35My family thinks I'm changing.
00:30:37You think I'm changing?
00:30:38Look, I'm just getting sick and tired of it.
00:30:41Dean Malenko, you keep accusing me
00:30:44for your attitude.
00:30:46I'm really getting sick and tired of this.
00:30:49If anybody made a mistake in this,
00:30:52this is you, Dean Malenko.
00:30:54Because you know what you did?
00:30:56You told me your game plan.
00:30:58And if you think that I'm going to give mine,
00:31:01well, let me put it to you this way.
00:31:04I'll see you Sunday at Uncensored.
00:31:06Indeed they will.
00:31:07Sunday, it's going to be
00:31:08Malenko and Guerrero
00:31:09head-on United States title.
00:31:11And you can see it on pay-per-view.
00:31:13We are live from Florida
00:31:15and it's Spring Break time.
00:31:17♪♪
00:31:25The shots from our helicopter
00:31:26high above the Gulf of Mexico
00:31:28down on Panama City Beach
00:31:29in Puebla Vila.
00:31:31Spring Break 19 and 97 is underway.
00:31:34And 9th relevant
00:31:35World Championship Wrestling TNT
00:31:37very proud to be bringing you
00:31:39the opening moments
00:31:40of Spring Break, Larry.
00:31:42Go ahead, Larry.
00:31:43Say something about Spring Break.
00:31:45You've enjoyed yourself
00:31:46here today, haven't you?
00:31:47There's just too many kids here
00:31:48for my enjoyment.
00:31:49I mean, the golf courses
00:31:50are crammed with hackers.
00:31:51You're getting old, Larry Zubisko.
00:31:53When you start talking like that.
00:31:56And here is the pit bull
00:31:57Craig Pittman
00:31:58making his way to the ring.
00:31:59One of the great former amateurs
00:32:02who made the jump
00:32:03into the pro ranks.
00:32:04♪♪
00:32:08They are, as youngsters are,
00:32:10everywhere around the world,
00:32:12world championship wrestling fans.
00:32:14Well, when you hear the music
00:32:16and you see that means
00:32:18that Diamond Dallas Page
00:32:19will be making his way in.
00:32:21I wonder if it's a coincidence
00:32:23that Diamond Dallas Page is here
00:32:25and Michael Wall Street
00:32:27was dropped on the outside.
00:32:29Well, it could be.
00:32:30You know how Diamond Dallas Page
00:32:32feels about the new world order
00:32:34and what I personally...
00:32:36But again, I haven't seen anybody.
00:32:39I mean, you can't just, like,
00:32:40say things like that without proof.
00:32:42You're gonna start another
00:32:43world war here.
00:32:44Well, why not?
00:32:45Why not start one?
00:32:46You're right.
00:32:47Why not start one?
00:32:48That's right.
00:32:49They began it.
00:32:50We can finish it.
00:32:51Shelf high five on the T-shirt.
00:32:53Diamond Dallas, of course,
00:32:54tonight's ever been the man
00:32:57who dropped Bubba
00:32:58as he was heading into the arena
00:33:00from Tampa, Florida.
00:33:02And so it's very odd
00:33:04that he was there that night.
00:33:05It's very odd that Michael Wall Street
00:33:07would take a spill as well.
00:33:08You take a look
00:33:09at our great crowd on hand.
00:33:10So good to have you with us,
00:33:11and I know you're gonna be with us
00:33:13at Uncensored this coming Sunday
00:33:16for our fans in Philadelphia.
00:33:18We have a big announcement
00:33:20coming up later in this program.
00:33:22Get your pencils and paper ready,
00:33:25and we will tell you
00:33:26some great information
00:33:27about Nitro coming to Philadelphia
00:33:30in the month of April
00:33:31and how you can be
00:33:32the first to get tickets.
00:33:33It's later on in the telecast.
00:33:35The Pit Bull trying to show up.
00:33:37DDP here.
00:33:38There's no question
00:33:39that the man is well-schooled
00:33:41in wrestling,
00:33:43but Diamond Dallas
00:33:44is as tough as they come.
00:33:45It's gonna be an interesting game
00:33:46of human chess right here.
00:33:48Two different styles.
00:33:49Pittman, the map man,
00:33:50and Diamond Dallas
00:33:51almost kind of a role
00:33:53with his own style.
00:33:54He kind of just tries to,
00:33:55you know, play that mental game
00:33:57and then sets you up
00:33:58for the diamond cutter.
00:33:59Pittman has got to take
00:34:00Diamond on the mat
00:34:01and tie him up,
00:34:02and Diamond has got to use
00:34:03that brain power
00:34:05and try to outsmart Pittman.
00:34:07Snap Maird over,
00:34:08and Pittman...
00:34:09But Pittman's giving him a break.
00:34:10Pittman's not staying on
00:34:11Diamond Dallas, Paige.
00:34:12That's right.
00:34:13That's a good point.
00:34:14And, Paige, right back up
00:34:15once again.
00:34:16Well, I'll let you know
00:34:17that in this telecast,
00:34:18Lex Luger, the Giant,
00:34:19and the Steiner brothers
00:34:20in an eight-man tag,
00:34:21the members of the WCW team
00:34:23will be in action
00:34:24a little bit later on
00:34:25in the telecast.
00:34:26So we'll stay around for that
00:34:28as we head to Uncensored.
00:34:29And here's a side headlock.
00:34:31You know,
00:34:32and I want to bring up
00:34:33this point
00:34:34during the course of this night.
00:34:36If you look,
00:34:37and we talked about the rules
00:34:38to the main event
00:34:39at Uncensored,
00:34:40if you look at how the rules
00:34:41are laid out,
00:34:42Eric Bischoff suspended
00:34:43a week ago,
00:34:44and now there's one team
00:34:45of the three teams
00:34:46that has the most to lose
00:34:48at Uncensored,
00:34:49and that's the NWO.
00:34:50I think it's evident now
00:34:52since Eric,
00:34:53since all his messages,
00:34:54all his files,
00:34:55everything was confiscated
00:34:56during the week
00:34:57by the executive product.
00:34:58Oh, look at that move!
00:35:00That things are really
00:35:02going against the NWO
00:35:04in many regards.
00:35:05Well, yeah, definitely.
00:35:06It's about time.
00:35:07We've got a strong,
00:35:08very strong
00:35:09world championship
00:35:10wrestling team
00:35:11like you mentioned,
00:35:12Luger, Giant, Steiners,
00:35:13and now, of course,
00:35:14a surprise shock
00:35:15with Piper and the Horseman.
00:35:17The New World Order
00:35:18has got to be scared stiff.
00:35:20Amy Wallstreet just
00:35:21banged his head
00:35:22on one of them big egos
00:35:23inside the tank
00:35:24and fainted
00:35:25when he heard the news.
00:35:27What?
00:35:28Look at this.
00:35:29Counting away.
00:35:30And Pittman's trying
00:35:31to keep him down on the mat.
00:35:32Diamond trying to get away,
00:35:33but Pittman's got to get
00:35:34aggressive against
00:35:35Diamond Dallas Page.
00:35:36There you go.
00:35:37Stay over him.
00:35:40See, Diamond's smart.
00:35:41Uses his brain.
00:35:42Doesn't try to outpower Pittman.
00:35:44Just goes to the ropes.
00:35:45Makes the referee
00:35:46break the hold.
00:35:47And let me say something
00:35:48about the NWO as well.
00:35:50Of course,
00:35:51what happened to Eric
00:35:52was it was a blow to them,
00:35:53but they bounced right back,
00:35:55and they were on
00:35:56every major telecast
00:35:57around the world
00:35:58this weekend
00:35:59with that Dennis Rodman story.
00:36:01So they rebounded quickly
00:36:02in many regards.
00:36:03It's a good story,
00:36:04but let's wait
00:36:05for the confirmation.
00:36:06Yeah, okay.
00:36:07Point well taken.
00:36:08You know,
00:36:09Rodman has this new movie
00:36:10coming out,
00:36:11Double Team,
00:36:12with Jean-Claude Van Damme.
00:36:13It'll be coming out
00:36:14very soon.
00:36:15He's very busy with that.
00:36:17Here's a cover.
00:36:18One, two.
00:36:19And a two count,
00:36:20but let's not forget
00:36:21that Rodman was with us
00:36:22when we were
00:36:23at Huntington Beach,
00:36:24California,
00:36:25a couple of years ago.
00:36:26Uh-oh,
00:36:27look at Diamond.
00:36:28Caught Pitman in his own game.
00:36:29How about that?
00:36:30Couldn't hold him down.
00:36:31A great move.
00:36:32Diamond Dallas Page.
00:36:33Diamond's,
00:36:34you know,
00:36:35Diamond Dallas,
00:36:36I've always said this,
00:36:37he's deceiving
00:36:38when you least expect it.
00:36:39He hits you with a good move,
00:36:40and Pitman,
00:36:41too low.
00:36:42Got a two,
00:36:43and Diamond Dallas
00:36:44got out in two,
00:36:45and Pitman almost
00:36:46got a three count.
00:36:47Well,
00:36:48not quite.
00:36:49Diamond,
00:36:50tall guy,
00:36:51Pitman pulled the leg up,
00:36:52but just couldn't get
00:36:53up and blocked it.
00:36:54Left hand.
00:36:55Diamond Dallas
00:36:56hauls off with a right hand
00:36:57and knocks him down.
00:36:58A lot of intensity
00:36:59in Diamond Dallas Page
00:37:00every time
00:37:01he gets in the ring.
00:37:02And Diamond's,
00:37:03oh boy,
00:37:04he was gonna pick him up,
00:37:05I think,
00:37:06for the Diamond Cutter,
00:37:07but it was a
00:37:08battering ram headbutt
00:37:09by the Sarge that time
00:37:10that took the steam
00:37:11out of DDP.
00:37:12Here he goes.
00:37:13Hooked it from behind.
00:37:14The Diamond Cutter
00:37:15is on top
00:37:16of the ring.
00:37:17And Diamond Dallas
00:37:19The Diamond Cutter
00:37:20is on target again.
00:37:21One,
00:37:22two,
00:37:23it's academic.
00:37:24Coming down the stage
00:37:25is the winner,
00:37:26Shelf High Five.
00:37:27Incoming,
00:37:28the subject
00:37:29of a
00:37:30Malibu replay.
00:37:31There's Pitman.
00:37:32You know,
00:37:33Pitman didn't
00:37:34fully explain
00:37:35that he had to live with it.
00:37:36That was
00:37:37Keith Diamond
00:37:38on the mat
00:37:39at the very end.
00:37:40He just kinda
00:37:41charged
00:37:42into disaster
00:37:43and knocked him
00:37:44down.
00:37:45And Diamond Dallas
00:37:47He was waiting for him,
00:37:48Tony,
00:37:49and right there,
00:37:50nice move,
00:37:51brought that long leg
00:37:52up behind the head,
00:37:53but right here at the end,
00:37:54he came up
00:37:55from behind
00:37:56and just threw
00:37:57that long body out,
00:37:58snapped the neck
00:37:59of Pitman
00:38:00and beat the Sarge.

00:40:39I'm out.
00:40:40Johnny,
00:40:41we were
00:40:42interrupted.
00:40:43I won't say it was
00:40:44a rude interruption,
00:40:45but,
00:40:46Diamond Dallas
00:40:47Page,
00:40:48I think I was
00:40:49ruminating on the
00:40:50fact that the
00:40:51Macho Man,
00:40:52Randy Savage,
00:40:53certainly,
00:40:54along with other
00:40:55members of the
00:40:56NWO,
00:40:57have not been
00:40:58acknowledging you
00:40:59as of late.
00:41:00What do you make of
00:41:01this ploy?
00:41:02What's it like?
00:41:03Savage,
00:41:04you snapped
00:41:05that much,
00:41:06that you forgot
00:41:07my name?
00:41:08You think after
00:41:09you left me
00:41:10laying here,
00:41:11and gave me my
00:41:12free ride to the
00:41:13hospital,
00:41:14which I checked out
00:41:15with,
00:41:16in good
00:41:17condition,
00:41:18you think I was
00:41:19just going to
00:41:20forget about you?
00:41:21Like you've
00:41:22obviously forgotten
00:41:23about my name?
00:41:24Well,
00:41:25Savage,
00:41:26you're going to
00:41:27remember my name.
00:41:28It's
00:41:29Diamond
00:41:30Dallas
00:41:31Page.
00:41:32But,
00:41:33you,
00:41:34Monkey Boy,
00:41:35are going to
00:41:36remember me
00:41:37as
00:41:38D.
00:41:39D.
00:41:40P.
00:41:41Yeah,
00:41:42Rich Snyder
00:41:43of the Diamond
00:41:44Cutter,
00:41:45Diamond Dallas
00:41:46Page,
00:41:47Tony,
00:41:48let's get back
00:41:49to you.
00:41:50Alright,
00:41:51Gene Okerlund,
00:41:52thanks a lot.
00:41:53You look at our
00:41:54aerial shots here,
00:41:55and it's a
00:41:56Diamond Dallas
00:41:57Page.
00:41:58A man who is on
00:41:59a mission,
00:42:00a man who
00:42:01apparently,
00:42:02and I really
00:42:03shouldn't use that
00:42:04word,
00:42:05but a man who's
00:42:06afraid of no one
00:42:07when it comes to
00:42:08the NWO.
00:42:09Here's a man that
00:42:10took himself from
00:42:11managing wrestlers
00:42:12to becoming one of
00:42:13the best in the
00:42:14business,
00:42:15Tony.
00:42:16He's a diehard.
00:42:17He's into wrestling
00:42:1824 hours a day,
00:42:19and there's no
00:42:20doubt in my mind,
00:42:21in a fair match,
00:42:22he could beat
00:42:23Macho Man.
00:42:24And that's the
00:42:25key point there
00:42:26now, isn't it?
00:42:27In a fair match,
00:42:28you know.
00:42:29Which basically means
00:42:30keep the rest of the
00:42:31rats away from the
00:42:32pack.
00:42:33And then when you
00:42:34say rats,
00:42:35what exactly do you
00:42:36mean when you speak
00:42:37into wrestling?
00:42:38The members of the
00:42:39New World Order.
00:42:40I understand.
00:42:41I wanted you to
00:42:42clear that up in the
00:42:43Wrestling Binocular.
00:42:44Ray Mysterio,
00:42:45Jr.,
00:42:46making his way to
00:42:47the ring,
00:42:48and we have some
00:42:49pre-recorded comments
00:42:50from the former
00:42:51cruiserweight champ.
00:42:52Well,
00:42:53Prince,
00:42:54I guess it's going to
00:42:55be me and you,
00:42:56Sunday,
00:42:57at the pay-per-view,
00:42:58uncensored.
00:42:59You know what?
00:43:00Everyone doubted me
00:43:01at the beginning.
00:43:02They thought I
00:43:03couldn't be a big star.
00:43:04They thought I
00:43:05couldn't wrestle
00:43:06the big ones.
00:43:07Well, this is where
00:43:08I am.
00:43:09I'm where the
00:43:10big boys play,
00:43:11and I want to get
00:43:12that television title
00:43:13away from you,
00:43:14because you know what?
00:43:15Steve Regal,
00:43:16then you're going
00:43:17to come after me.
00:43:18You're going to
00:43:19come looking for me.
00:43:20See if you can
00:43:21take it away.
00:43:22Well, I think
00:43:23it's going to be
00:43:24a big moment,
00:43:25and I don't think
00:43:26anyone doubted him.
00:43:27I mean,
00:43:28from the first time
00:43:29we saw Ray Mysterio Jr.,
00:43:30from the very first
00:43:31time we saw him,
00:43:32when we were at
00:43:33the Great American Bash
00:43:34last year in Baltimore,
00:43:35we knew this young man
00:43:36would be a sensation,
00:43:37and he has risen
00:43:38to the occasion
00:43:39each and every time.
00:43:40Smaller than most,
00:43:41yes,
00:43:42but you can't
00:43:43really measure the heart,
00:43:44and that's what he had.
00:43:45Yeah, smaller than
00:43:46all of them,
00:43:47basically,
00:43:48but definitely,
00:43:49he made an impression,
00:43:50and the more you watch
00:43:51him,
00:43:52the more you realize
00:43:53that he's the
00:43:54smallest of them all,
00:43:55but he can move,
00:43:56and look at this guy go.
00:43:57He defies gravity,
00:43:58and he can wrestle men,
00:43:59you know,
00:44:00a lot bigger than himself,
00:44:01and very effectively.
00:44:02The things he does
00:44:03are unbelievable.
00:44:04Look at this man.
00:44:05Drop kicks Galaxy,
00:44:06and Galaxy scoots
00:44:07all the way.
00:44:08He almost fell
00:44:09in the shark pit.
00:44:10He almost went
00:44:11in the water.
00:44:12You know,
00:44:13that's right.
00:44:14You know,
00:44:15when we saw this,
00:44:16we said,
00:44:17someone's going to
00:44:18end up in the water.
00:44:19Someone's going to
00:44:20end up in the water,
00:44:21and we thought
00:44:22it could be
00:44:23one of these high flyers,
00:44:24and Galaxy was
00:44:25almost the first one.
00:44:26I mean,
00:44:27I enjoy watching
00:44:28Rey Mysterio,
00:44:29and I don't like anybody.
00:44:30Well,
00:44:31that's the truth.
00:44:32You sure don't.
00:44:33Up goes Galaxy
00:44:34and Mysterio
00:44:35hanging on.
00:44:36Mysterio almost like
00:44:37letting him come in here.
00:44:38Galaxy walking
00:44:39the top ropes.
00:44:40Look at this balance.
00:44:41Oh!
00:44:42Ooh,
00:44:43so much for the balance.
00:44:44That will mess up
00:44:45your equilibrium
00:44:46faster than anything,
00:44:47boys.
00:44:48Well,
00:44:50I don't know
00:44:51what it's floating on,
00:44:52but it's moving.
00:44:53On a thing,
00:44:54it's floating.
00:44:55It's out there.
00:44:56Some stupid thing,
00:44:57but again,
00:44:58Galaxy to do that kind
00:44:59of maneuvers
00:45:00on an unstable ring,
00:45:01he got caught.
00:45:02Oh,
00:45:03boy.
00:45:04Galaxy,
00:45:05who outweighs Mysterio,
00:45:06running Larry
00:45:07from the left side
00:45:08that time,
00:45:09got him down
00:45:10as Mark Curtis,
00:45:11the referee,
00:45:12looks in.
00:45:13Galaxy,
00:45:14one of the mass
00:45:15superstars from Mexico,
00:45:16here in the United States,
00:45:17making a big impact
00:45:18at nothing but the mat.
00:45:19Mysterio set him up
00:45:20for that one.
00:45:21He saw him coming.
00:45:22Mysterio
00:45:23sent him over.
00:45:24One,
00:45:25two,
00:45:26three.
00:45:27He beat him.
00:45:28Ring,
00:45:29ring,
00:45:30ring.
00:45:31Ray Mysterio Jr.
00:45:32is your winner.
00:45:33And now for
00:45:34Ray Mysterio Jr.,
00:45:35this Sunday
00:45:36at Uncensored,
00:45:37he comes for
00:45:38the television belt,
00:45:39a belt
00:45:40that he would love
00:45:41to get away from
00:45:42Prince of Ikea
00:45:43in a return match
00:45:44here on WCW
00:45:45at Uncensored.
00:45:46This coming Sunday.
00:45:47He's not the only one,
00:45:48but he is a phenomenon
00:45:49to watch.
00:45:50I mean,
00:45:51look at this guy.
00:45:52He just springs off
00:45:53the ropes,
00:45:54comes over.
00:45:55This is a cradle
00:45:56supreme right here.
00:45:57Once Ray locks in,
00:45:58even with the weight
00:45:59he doesn't have,
00:46:00he can hold down
00:46:01those shoulders,
00:46:02brother.

00:47:36Boy,
00:47:37what a great crowd

00:47:39I'm talking about
00:47:40a cage match
00:47:41down the road
00:47:42with Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
00:47:43Well,
00:47:44it's very simple.
00:47:45You know,
00:47:46now that Dennis Rodman
00:47:47is hanging out
00:47:48with Hogan
00:47:49and those kind of people,
00:47:50you don't know
00:47:51what's going
00:47:52through everybody's mind.
00:47:53He's building his forces.
00:47:54I'll tell you something,
00:47:55Hogan.
00:47:56Remember this,
00:47:57Piper beat you once.
00:47:58He beat you twice.
00:47:59And my friend,
00:48:00he can do it again.
00:48:01Inside a cage
00:48:02or outside of a cage.
00:48:03Don't ever count
00:48:04Rowdy Roddy Piper out.
00:48:05And you mention
00:48:06Dennis Rodman.
00:48:07As we saw
00:48:08on all the talk shows, all the newspapers,
00:48:11all the national telecasts,
00:48:12had Dennis Rodman becoming a member of the NWO.
00:48:16That has not been yet confirmed by the NWO,
00:48:19but we know they are here tonight
00:48:21and we have yet to hear from them.
00:48:22Fans, we're gonna take you now down to meet Gene Oakland.
00:48:25It's been a big weekend for WCW
00:48:28here at Panama City Beach, Gene.
00:48:30It certainly has, Tony Schiavone,
00:48:31and also a big one for WCW Monday Nitro
00:48:34because, well, by committee, and I understand,
00:48:37there were a bunch of bald guys with mustaches
00:48:40that chose, if you will, my guest at this time
00:48:43being joined by our good friend from MTV, John Cencio.
00:48:48Please welcome Miss WCW Monday Nitro.
00:48:56Ah, that's not Miss Nitro there.
00:48:57That is John Cencio, BJ from MTV.
00:49:01Johnny, come on up here, boy.
00:49:07Take the shirt off, brother.
00:49:11Bear it all.
00:49:14John, here we are.
00:49:15Hey, welcome to TNT
00:49:17and welcome, of course, to WCW Monday Nitro.
00:49:20Why don't you go ahead and do the honors
00:49:21and introduce this young lady?
00:49:23We have a lovely lady out there
00:49:25and we're gonna have a lot of me for spring break.
00:49:28Here she comes.
00:49:30TNT's WCW Monday, Miss Monday Nitro,
00:49:36Pamela Rodgers, come on out.
00:49:37Let's hear it for her, guys.
00:49:42That's right, WCW, they scoured the beaches
00:49:45for three days to find her.
00:49:47Tennis and tech, studying education.
00:49:51What's your basketball coach?
00:49:53I laid on the beach as bait
00:49:55and this is what showed up and I think it worked.
00:49:57It's a beautiful thing and MTV spring break
00:50:00is the perfect match for this.
00:50:02Come on up.
00:50:03You should get her up here, don't you think?
00:50:05I think the sash is way too big,
00:50:06but I'll go along with anything.
00:50:08Pamela, come on up.
00:50:10We also have a couple guys from the New World Order.
00:50:15We got Hall, we got Nash, we got Six.
00:50:19Can you make it through there?
00:50:21They're gonna be appearing on MTV's Fame or Shame.
00:50:24They're gonna be the Torturers.
00:50:28And let's hear a big spring break welcome.
00:50:31Pamela Rodgers, huh?
00:50:35John, this, I don't know what to say, no.
00:50:41Tell me, once again, members of the New World Order,
00:50:43Hall, Nash, Six are gonna be on your program.
00:50:46Give me the dates.
00:50:47It's MTV's Fame or Shame.
00:50:49It's gonna be on MTV's Spring Break next week,
00:50:5321st, 22nd, and 23rd,
00:50:55and they're gonna be the Torturers on the show.
00:50:57All right, John, how about a little sandwich?
00:50:58Pamela, get right in here for our television audience.
00:51:01Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. WCW Monday Nitro.
00:51:05All right, John, I thank you.
00:51:06I'll be with you next week at Harvey Way.
00:51:08Tony, gentlemen, get back to you.
00:51:09Weasel, do not do anything you shouldn't.
00:51:12Ah, shut up, Dave.
00:51:14Gene put his glasses on for that.
00:51:16Those aren't glasses.
00:51:18Those aren't glasses.
00:51:18His eyes are fogged.
00:51:19He had to get a closer look.
00:51:21Oh, just to show you, there's another young lady
00:51:23that wants to be just like Debra McMichaels,
00:51:26a pageant winner.
00:51:27Pamela Rodgers of Clark Range, Tennessee,
00:51:29a student at Tennessee Tech University, our Ms. Nitro.
00:51:32She won the competition,
00:51:34John Cencio said that someone had been out
00:51:36scouring the beach for three or four days.
00:51:39I want to be a person to scour the beach next year here.
00:51:42Tough, tough duty.
00:51:43Yes, it is.
00:51:44Remember the last time you were on the beach,
00:51:45four cats buried you.
00:51:47Okay, we continue with the action of WCW Monday Nitro.
00:51:52We are having a great time,
00:51:53and you know, we talked a lot about,
00:51:55and we still will hear from the New World Order
00:51:58on Dennis Rodman.
00:52:00Yay or nay, it has not been officially confirmed,
00:52:02but he was out there everywhere this past weekend.
00:52:05That was a talk I had relatives and friends call my house.
00:52:09I hadn't heard in a long, long time
00:52:11talking about Dennis Rodman becoming a part of the NWO, Mike.
00:52:14Well, Tony, everywhere you turn this weekend,
00:52:17radio, television, the newspapers, all forms of media,
00:52:20and they've apparently jumped to the conclusion
00:52:22that Rodman is going to be at Uncensored this Sunday.
00:52:26We expect to get either confirmation or denial
00:52:28from the New World Order,
00:52:30but it would make sense
00:52:31if this controversial basketball player
00:52:33would join wrestling's most controversial group,
00:52:36the New World Order.
00:52:38It's Nitro, who knows what's gonna happen.
00:52:40Yeah, that's right.
00:52:41Now, one thing we do know about Uncensored,
00:52:43that the next four men will be there,
00:52:46and they will represent Team WCW.
00:52:48We talked about the rules extensively this weekend
00:52:52on WCW Saturday night, WCW Pro on Sundays on TBS,
00:52:56and of course, the main event on Saturday mornings.
00:52:59But basically, it's gonna start out
00:53:01with a man from each team in the ring, three men.
00:53:05Then at different intervals,
00:53:07three more men will enter until all 12 men are in the ring.
00:53:10The last man standing gets the win for his team.
00:53:17If a member of the WCW team is the last man standing,
00:53:20then the NWO must give up all their belts
00:53:24to the WCW Executive Committee that night
00:53:27and cannot wrestle in a WCW sanctioned event
00:53:30for the next 36 months.
00:53:32If a member of Piper's team is the last man standing,
00:53:35then Piper gets a cage match down the road
00:53:38with Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
00:53:39Which is now the Horseman, right?
00:53:40Yeah, Piper and the Horseman, that's the new team.
00:53:43But if a member of the NWO is the last man standing,
00:53:46they get to vie for any title, any place,
00:53:48anywhere around the world at any WCW sanctioned events.
00:53:52You would see, and you can see,
00:53:54that really the team with the most to lose
00:53:56this Sunday at Uncensored, Mike, would be the NWO.
00:53:59Well, I guess it's probably no coincidence
00:54:01that since Dr. Harvey Schiller suspended Eric Bischoff,
00:54:04World Championship Wrestling now has an opportunity
00:54:07to balance the situation with the NWO,
00:54:10and it's a great opportunity this Sunday at Uncensored.
00:54:13Great chance here for Team WCW to polish their teamwork
00:54:17and the Steiners have a chance
00:54:19to settle those well-documented differences
00:54:21with the Outsiders at Uncensored
00:54:23and do it on their own terms.
00:54:25That's what they said they wanted to do.
00:54:26They obviously could press charges against the Outsiders
00:54:30based on what we have seen
00:54:33transpire away from the wrestling ring,
00:54:35but they decided to settle in the ring
00:54:37and they'll get their shot this coming Sunday.
00:54:39And now, against Roadblock the Canadiens
00:54:41and Greg Valentine, a real hard-hitting eight-man tag here.
00:54:45Oh, there's no doubt about it,
00:54:46but remember this, the Giant Luger.
00:54:49Oh!
00:54:51The Giant Luger.
00:54:52Oh!
00:54:53As a T.Y., it was-
00:54:54Okay, go ahead.
00:54:55Luger's been a heavyweight champion in the world,
00:54:57so has the Giant.
00:54:58I mean, this team, there's so much there,
00:55:00there's so much force, there's so much power.
00:55:02The biggest man in professional sports, the Giant.
00:55:05Luger may be the strongest man in professional sports.
00:55:07And along with the Steiners,
00:55:09the dumbest man in the sports, so.
00:55:12Add in the momentum factor,
00:55:13who's been on a roll more than Lex Luger
00:55:15and the Giant in the past few months?
00:55:17Nobody.
00:55:18No.
00:55:18Oh!
00:55:19Oh, my goodness!
00:55:21You talking about power!
00:55:23I guess his back is better.
00:55:25I guess he is, all right.
00:55:26I guess he is.
00:55:27The only thing we do understand
00:55:28that happened to Rick, to the Steiners,
00:55:31was that Rick Steiner had a damaged eardrum,
00:55:35and it was affecting his equilibrium.
00:55:37That was the only thing that occurred out of that wreck.
00:55:40I heard him tell his brother today
00:55:41that his ear was ringing,
00:55:42and his brother said-
00:55:43Oh, my God!
00:55:44His brother said, answer.
00:55:45Oh!
00:55:46One, two, three with a chokeslam!
00:55:49Roadblock goes down,
00:55:50and Team WCW secures a win.
00:55:55And I think the important thing to notice here
00:55:57is they worked as a team.
00:55:59They worked good as a team.
00:56:00Yes, they do.
00:56:01Luger, the Giant, and the Steiners.
00:56:03No egos in that team right there.
00:56:07And how about it against the Piper team
00:56:10that is comprised of the Horstman and the NWO team
00:56:13that will stoop to any low possible range?
00:56:15Look at the strength of this Giant.
00:56:17Picks up this massive man, Roadblock,
00:56:19and just drives him into the mat.
00:56:20He's not going anyplace.
00:56:22He could have counted to 50.
00:56:23This is a team the NWO's gotta be looking at, too.
00:56:26The Giant, Luger, and the Steiners.
00:56:28Gentlemen, it's gonna be an Uncensored
00:56:30like you've never seen before.
00:56:31There's a busy man among us.
00:56:32He is Mean Gene Okerlund.
00:56:35As you take a look at the total package,
00:56:36Lex Luger, and let's go to Gene Okerlund right now.
00:56:39All right, for the record, let's clear one thing up.
00:56:41Coming up this Sunday night at Uncensored,
00:56:43we've got three four-man teams.
00:56:45The NWO, we know about them.
00:56:48We've got, of course, Rowdy Roddy Piper
00:56:50and three out of the four horsemen.
00:56:52And then this foursome right here,
00:56:54the Steiner brothers.
00:56:55I don't know right now, Rick.
00:56:56Things don't seem exactly kosher with you.
00:56:59And of course, we've got the Giant
00:57:01and Lex Luger for the record.
00:57:03If you guys win, all of the belts
00:57:05are gonna be up for grabs automatically.
00:57:07If Rowdy Roddy Piper should defeat
00:57:10this coming Sunday night at Uncensored,
00:57:12he's gonna get Hulk Hogan,
00:57:13Hollywood Hulk Hogan, in a cage.
00:57:15However, if the NWO should prevail,
00:57:18it means that they're gonna be allowed
00:57:20on any WCW telecast.
00:57:22Do I understand things right?
00:57:24I think so.
00:57:26Obviously, this Monday night,
00:57:28Panama City is the happening place to be.
00:57:34You can say that again.
00:57:36But this upcoming weekend on Censored,
00:57:39that's gonna be the place to be.
00:57:41Now, I don't pretend to try to give advice
00:57:43to Rowdy Roddy Piper on his business affairs,
00:57:47but I will tell you this.
00:57:48The Horsemen are a band of cutthroats.
00:57:51They've always had their own personal agenda.
00:57:54And, Rowdy, don't trust them.
00:57:57But one thing I do know is crystal clear.
00:57:59It's the NWO versus Team WCW.
00:58:03And I know three good reasons why
00:58:06we will emerge victorious.
00:58:08And they're standing there.
00:58:09He's the Giant.
00:58:10He's the Steiner brothers.
00:58:11I know where they're coming from.
00:58:12I know I can count on them.
00:58:14They can count on me.
00:58:15And we're gonna bring it home for WCW.
00:58:18Giant, certainly, you've got your thoughts.
00:58:20You were once a member of the NWO.
00:58:22You'd love more than anything for victory
00:58:24on this particular occasion.
00:58:26You know, if you look at the whole situation,
00:58:29it's a situation where Team WCW can't lose.
00:58:33You've got the masters of the suplex.
00:58:37You've got the total package with the rack.
00:58:39And you've got a walking, talking, fire-breathing Giant
00:58:45with the chokeslam.
00:58:47I'm gonna quote Scott Hall.
00:58:50NWO, don't sing it, bring it.
00:58:54All right, Scotty, very quickly on yourself
00:58:57and your brother, Rick, here.
00:58:58Are you feeling okay?
00:59:00You know, they tried to put us out with that car crash
00:59:02and they say I ain't right.
00:59:04Well, I ain't never been right.
00:59:06Gee, the hunt's on, this dog will hunt,
00:59:09and we're, and NWO, don't, Scotty.
00:59:12Well, Scott, apparently, things are not exactly right
00:59:15for your brother.
00:59:16They never were, but he's all right.
00:59:18And Hall and Nash and Uncensored, we're coming after you.
00:59:22Lex is taking everybody else,
00:59:23and the Giant's gonna take business as usual.
00:59:27You know, of course, where the hearts are,
00:59:28gentlemen, I don't have to tell you.
00:59:30Everybody right now, certainly, looking long and hard
00:59:34at Team WCW.
00:59:36Victory on Sunday night at Uncensored
00:59:38would be oh so sweet, Lex Luger.
00:59:42Gene, with this crowd so noisy here,
00:59:45I didn't hear a word you said.
00:59:46I said victory at Uncensored this coming Sunday night
00:59:50on pay-per-view would be sweet, oh so sweet.
00:59:54It'll be sweeter and sweet,
00:59:55because there's been a foul, repugnant spell
00:59:59around here for close to a year now,
01:00:01and it goes by the initials NWO.
01:00:04And we are here to eradicate that repugnant spell
01:00:08once and for all.
01:00:10Gentlemen, I don't know if you can see
01:00:12what's looked at right up there.
01:00:13Is that an inspiration?
01:00:15I believe it is.
01:00:16Tony, it's an inspiration for me,
01:00:18but then this is spring break.
01:00:20What do I know?
01:00:20Back to you.
01:00:21There's a lot of inspirations here tonight, Gene,
01:00:23as a matter of fact.
01:00:24And I really think that Ric Flair,
01:00:26well, he's never really been 100%,
01:00:29but even less than that now.
01:00:31We have more live on Nitro in Philadelphia.
01:00:34Stand by, big information for you next.
01:00:37He's nuts.
01:00:41The action, the excitement of Nitro continues
01:00:44from Panama City Beach.
01:00:46Spring break is off and running,
01:00:48and we are Club La Vila for this edition
01:00:50of Two Hours Live here on TNT.
01:00:53As we await the arrival of one of the great cruiserweights
01:00:55in the world, Juventud Guerrero,
01:00:57our fans in Philadelphia,
01:00:58here's the information you've been waiting for.
01:01:01On Monday, April 14th, WCW Monday Nitro
01:01:04comes to the Spectrum in Philadelphia.
01:01:07That's on Monday, April 14th.

01:01:21In addition, Nature Boy Ric Flair's gonna be
01:01:23at Tower Records at 3 p.m. on South Street
01:01:25in Philadelphia this coming Saturday
01:01:28when tickets go on sale.
01:01:30Great to see World Championship Wrestling
01:01:32returning to the Northeast,
01:01:33and can't wait to get to Philly for Nitro.
01:01:35Wow, it's gonna be red hot in Philadelphia
01:01:37at the Core State Spectrum.
01:01:40WCW Monday Nitro, don't forget Nitro.
01:01:42Next week we'll be in Savannah
01:01:44during the big St. Patrick's Day celebration there.
01:01:48In two weeks, we're gonna be at The Deck
01:01:49in Duluth, Minnesota.
01:01:51And then in three weeks, we're gonna be
01:01:52in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia,
01:01:54Runnick, Virginia, and the Runnick Civic Center
01:01:56for WCW Monday Nitro.
01:02:00The opponent for Juventud Guerrero
01:02:01is going to be The Ultimate Dragon with Sonny Odo.
01:02:05And we announced this past weekend
01:02:06that The Ultimate Dragon and Psychosis
01:02:09would have a matchup at Uncensored this coming Sunday.
01:02:12You know, you said, Mike, earlier
01:02:13that when you think of Uncensored in the month of March,
01:02:15you think of unpredictable events, unpredictable matches.
01:02:19You don't know what's gonna happen next.
01:02:20And really, when you think about,
01:02:22oh my goodness, a jumpstart here.
01:02:23When you think about the three teams we have,
01:02:26anything can happen.
01:02:27Well, it's gonna be a great main event at Uncensored.
01:02:30The reformation of Team Piper.
01:02:32And just listening to the Team WCW,
01:02:35it almost sounded like they were pretty much focused
01:02:37on Team NWO.
01:02:40I hope they don't overlook Team Piper
01:02:42this Sunday at Uncensored.
01:02:44Reversal, and The Ultimate Dragon went in
01:02:46with a flying double ax handle that time.
01:02:49And coming out of it was Juventud Guerrero.
01:02:53Nice block by Juventud to that attempt
01:02:54in flying head scissors.
01:02:55And then he catches Dragon with that same move.
01:02:58Well, these two men are going at it with everything here.
01:03:01Moving along for someone goes in the drink.
01:03:03You're right about that.
01:03:04Juventud, almost the first man there.
01:03:08Competition running so deep within the ranks
01:03:10of the Cruiserweights.
01:03:11And now, Sonny Ono interjecting himself at ringside.
01:03:15Well, you don't know what Juventud said to him.
01:03:16Maybe he insulted the man.
01:03:18I mean, certainly Mr. Ono isn't that kind of a man
01:03:20that would take liberties and cheap shots like that
01:03:22on his opponent's, his man's opponent.
01:03:26Watch out, watch out.
01:03:27Reversal for the Dragon.
01:03:28Hit the safety ramp.
01:03:34Rolling the Dragon back in, Juventud Guerrero.
01:03:38And Mark Curtis is the referee here.
01:03:40Top to bottom, a spectacular card for Uncensored.
01:03:43The event, of course, at the North Charleston Coliseum
01:03:45in the rainbow city of Charleston, South Carolina.
01:03:49Coming up this coming Sunday, the 16th.
01:03:51And now, the Dragon.
01:03:53Guerrero sends him in.
01:03:54Here, looking at two spectacular Cruiserweights here.
01:03:57One of his better moves here, Mike.
01:03:59And he punctuated it with that thrust kick
01:04:01that was right on target, and again,
01:04:03catches him right between the shoulder blades.
01:04:06Former J-Crown champion,
01:04:08former WCW Cruiserweight champion.
01:04:10And Juventud Guerrero opening up a big target
01:04:14up on the side that time,
01:04:15and the Dragon took advantage of it here.
01:04:17We still await to hear from the New World Order
01:04:21about the confirmation of Dennis Rodman joining the NWO.
01:04:24Yes, you saw it right.
01:04:25You heard it.
01:04:26Look at this, look at this!
01:04:29Got him locked up on his shoulders.
01:04:30Boom!
01:04:31Tight move, and then dropped straight down.
01:04:35He doesn't go for the pin.
01:04:36That amazes me.
01:04:37He could pin the man here.
01:04:38I would think, wouldn't you?
01:04:39I know he could.
01:04:40I mean, the Ultimo Dragon is...
01:04:42Locking him up in that upside down surfboard
01:04:44if he can rock back.
01:04:45Well, we're on the beach.
01:04:46That's right.
01:04:47Very appropriate.
01:04:48Yes.
01:04:50And is it a submission yet or not?
01:04:53As Mark Curtis checks with Juventud Guerrero,
01:04:55apparently not.
01:04:57So the match continues here.
01:04:59To the attack once again.
01:05:02Picking the man up with a Dragon.
01:05:03Look at that.
01:05:04Slingshot suplex from the top that time.
01:05:08And here's a cover.
01:05:10Got a two, and Juventud is out of Juventud,
01:05:12showing that determination and character
01:05:14that we've seen from Rey Mysterio Jr.
01:05:16Well, there's so much at stake in this matchup.
01:05:19Both men trying to influence the WCW Championship
01:05:22and Executive Committee in order to gain a shot
01:05:24down the line at six in the Cruiserweight title.
01:05:27I'd love to be a fly on the wall
01:05:28in Hogan's dressing room or trailer,
01:05:30wherever he's dressing,
01:05:31and find out what happened when he heard the news
01:05:34about the Four Horsemen and Rowdy Roddy Piper.
01:05:36I would love to see the expression on his face
01:05:39with all the sweat.
01:05:40Totally changes the complexion of that matchup, Sunday.
01:05:43Certainly, of course, that agreement was made upon,
01:05:46and then Hogan arrived a few segments later
01:05:49with the NWO, so I'm sure he was informed once he arrived.
01:05:52Oh, you bet.
01:05:53They keep him informed on everything.
01:05:56Quite a swing in momentum in this matchup,
01:05:58with Juventud now gaining control.
01:06:01Springboard into a corkscrew.
01:06:02And covered in one, two, and the Ultimo Dragon is out.
01:06:08How many titles did the Ultimo Dragon have at one time?
01:06:10Nine belts at one time,
01:06:12counting the eight Unified J-Crown titles
01:06:14and the WCW Cruiserweight Championship.
01:06:17Here's cover one, two,
01:06:18and almost got a three count that time.
01:06:21And see, Ultimo Dragon thought it was over.
01:06:23He thought maybe he had lost out
01:06:25right in the side of the head.
01:06:26Goes Juventud.
01:06:30Got the knee up.
01:06:32Ultimo Dragon here, looking at two
01:06:34of the great cruiserweights.
01:06:35Pick him up, a running powerbomb.
01:06:37You could see that one coming.
01:06:39That move was invented by Jushin Thunder Liger.
01:06:41It's called the Running Liger Bomb.
01:06:44And he does not attempt a pinfall after that.
01:06:47And I'm surprised.
01:06:48Yep, that's the second time
01:06:49that he should have tried a pinfall and did not.
01:06:52Apparently, when you're on Nitro
01:06:54and you have millions and millions of households
01:06:56watching you all over the world,
01:06:57you want to make sure you impress everyone.
01:07:04The Dragon to the attack again.
01:07:06Tiger Suplex!
01:07:07Goodbye.
01:07:08Tiger Suplex, one, two, three,
01:07:09and Juventud could not get out of that.
01:07:12That was it.
01:07:13Tell you what, that was textbook in many ways.
01:07:15Some great moves executed with perfection
01:07:19by both men, really.
01:07:20But at the end, it was the Ultimo Dragon.
01:07:24Yeah, actually, I think the reason he didn't cover.
01:07:26Number one cruiser!
01:07:27Don't doubt it.
01:07:28Okay, what's the reason for it?
01:07:29I don't want to interrupt him.
01:07:31He's here, he's here.
01:07:32Okay, I don't want to interrupt him,
01:07:33but what's the reason?
01:07:35The reason for what?
01:07:36Oh, for crying out loud.
01:07:38You talking to me?
01:07:39Guess what?
01:07:40You must give your reason later
01:07:42because we've got to step out for a break.
01:07:44Goodbye.
01:07:45We'll be back with more Nitro Live
01:07:46from Club La Vila after this.
01:07:47Hello.
01:07:49You're unbelievable.
01:07:50Thank you.
01:07:57You take a look at our great crowd on hand
01:07:59enjoying Spring Break.
01:08:01This is Spring Breakout 1997.
01:08:03We are at Club La Vila,
01:08:05and we are celebrating the arrival of spring
01:08:07and celebrating pro wrestling's number one
01:08:11television program, Nitro Live,
01:08:13each and every Monday, two hours here on JT.
01:08:15And Mr. Excitement is here,
01:08:17Lionheart Chris Jericho, you can't deny
01:08:21how much intensity and desire
01:08:22this man brings to the ring, Mike Gennady.
01:08:25Tony, I agree, you combine that
01:08:26with a great international background.
01:08:28Japan, Mexico, now finally making a name for himself
01:08:31right here in the States with World Championship Wrestling.
01:08:34And his dad was a pro hockey player.
01:08:36He comes from an athletic family,
01:08:37and the people have really gotten behind Chris Jericho.
01:08:39Should be a great matchup as he will face
01:08:41Scotty Riggs, formerly of the American Males.
01:08:43Can I shove you in the water later?
01:08:45I'm sure, even if I say no,
01:08:47that you'll make an attempt before we leave here.
01:08:50I mean, we're on the beach here.
01:08:51It isn't this great.
01:08:52I wonder what the poor people are doing up north
01:08:53in that 11 degree weather.
01:08:54We are having a great night.
01:08:56We are having a great night,
01:08:58and for you people up north who are joining us
01:09:01in that 11 degree weather,
01:09:02welcome to WCW Monday Nitro.
01:09:04Hopefully you can warm up your spring.
01:09:06This gives you hope that spring is right around the corner
01:09:09and the cold weather is almost gone.
01:09:11Well, who cares?
01:09:13As we said, MTV will be here
01:09:14beginning on the 21st with MTV's Spring Break.
01:09:17They'll be celebrating Spring Break here,
01:09:19and you know, we heard earlier,
01:09:21as Mickey J is the referee with this opening bout,
01:09:24we heard earlier from John Cincio,
01:09:27the VJ of MTV, that Holland Nash and Sixx
01:09:30are gonna be on MTV's fame of shame
01:09:34coming up during Spring Break.
01:09:37And here we go with this next matchup.
01:09:38Look for a great scientific matchup here
01:09:40between these two men.
01:09:41You never know, though.
01:09:42Well, you never know.
01:09:43A lot of times when you're on this biggest stage,
01:09:45when you're on Nitro and millions of people are watching,
01:09:48a lot of times, tempers will flare.
01:09:51Jericho, great elevation leap roll.
01:09:53That was great timing that time by Scotty Riggs.
01:09:55Especially in the heat of battle.
01:09:58You know, Riggs has gotten a lot better
01:09:59since he got away from Buff.
01:10:01I would agree with that.
01:10:02It's not Buff's fault,
01:10:03it's just that he knows he has to now.
01:10:05He just rode off the coattails
01:10:07of Marcus Bagwell all those years.
01:10:09Now he knows he has to do it for himself.
01:10:11He's getting better.
01:10:12Till the coming of this telecast, our main event,
01:10:14it's Harlem Heat public enemy.
01:10:15Interesting thought here.
01:10:16Now that the Horseman and Piper
01:10:18will be a team coming up at Uncensored,
01:10:21what does that do with the Mongo Jeff Jarrett
01:10:23against public enemy?
01:10:24Picks a tornado match.
01:10:26No one has spoken about that yet.
01:10:28It's Uncensored.
01:10:29I guess they can fight twice.
01:10:30Who knows?
01:10:31Yeah, who knows?
01:10:32I mean, think of the things over the last two years
01:10:34that we've seen at this event at Uncensored.
01:10:36We've seen a gigantic cage match, three stories tall.
01:10:42We've seen fights in the concession stand.
01:10:46We've seen wrestlers dressed up like women.
01:10:49Basically anything and everything goes
01:10:52this Sunday at Uncensored.
01:10:54And there's a great drop kick by Jericho.
01:10:56And the funny thing, after the first one,
01:10:57we didn't think it could top itself.
01:10:58The second one was unbelievable.
01:11:00So you know everyone's gonna try to top themselves
01:11:02with the third one.
01:11:03Especially when there was so much riding on the line
01:11:06in that main event.
01:11:07Three teams.
01:11:09You know, and you talked about,
01:11:10I'm sure we're gonna be hearing from the NWO.
01:11:11Eric, of course, Eric Bischoff suspended last week.
01:11:14Came back out.
01:11:15Here's a cover by Jericho.
01:11:17Got a two count.
01:11:18Came back out with the NWO kind of bucking the system.
01:11:21Well, as expected, Eric has hired a team
01:11:25of a big firm out of New York to represent him.
01:11:28And I know that there's been a lot of litigation
01:11:31going down based on what we saw last week.
01:11:34Not enough lawyers in this world.
01:11:37Should be more lawyers.
01:11:38Yeah, it's a real shock that the NWO
01:11:40would hide behind the legal counsel.
01:11:44Yeah, right.
01:11:44A foot up now for Jericho.
01:11:47Jericho, here it comes.
01:11:48That was a great move by Riggs.
01:11:50On a power slam out of the corner.
01:11:53Riggs wobbly as he hits the ropes.
01:11:55But that drop kick was on target.
01:11:58And so was that one.
01:11:59This is where Riggs needs to prove himself
01:12:02in singles competition.
01:12:03There's no one to tag in at this point.
01:12:05You're on your own, young man.
01:12:06And he should have gone in for the kill.
01:12:07He wasted a little too much time.
01:12:08He's still young.
01:12:10And that's where it backfired on him.
01:12:12And wounded.
01:12:18Riggs just hung out to dry up on the top rope.
01:12:20And Jericho to follow.
01:12:23He's gonna try and superplex attempt if he can.
01:12:26Blocked by Riggs with punches to the midsection.
01:12:29Front suplex by Riggs off the top.
01:12:31I've been waiting to see a half-bainer into the tree.
01:12:34That's what I wanna see.
01:12:36Cover, one, two.
01:12:38Did he?
01:12:39Did not get him.
01:12:40And Riggs disappointed.
01:12:41He thought he had him.
01:12:45Here's a pickup.
01:12:47Riggs landed on his feet, wasteful.
01:12:49Into a German suplex, one, two.
01:12:51And Riggs got out of that.
01:12:54Riggs is showing me more fight
01:12:55than he has in the last couple of months.
01:12:57He's come a long way.
01:12:58He was injured for a while there, too.
01:12:59Now he's back 100%.
01:13:02Caught him with a flying forearm.
01:13:03Wait a minute, who's this?
01:13:05Bagwell.
01:13:06Oh, Bagwell.
01:13:09What's he got in his hand?
01:13:10He's whipping him like a dog.
01:13:11He's beating him with a belt.
01:13:12Got a leather belt in his hand.
01:13:14He just leapfrogs over Jericho.
01:13:17And Riggs going for the belt.
01:13:20Jericho's got the belt.
01:13:23And we've got a fight.
01:13:26Bagwell takes the low road down.
01:13:28Now Jericho's got the belt.
01:13:29If you wanna beat him, go after him.
01:13:31Don't do it from in the ring, kid.
01:13:33Get on that floor and chase him.
01:13:34Beat him with that belt like he beat you.
01:13:38Too late to threaten.
01:13:39Will Jericho's gonna get this win?
01:13:42Or what exactly is the final verdict here?
01:13:44Or will Riggs get it?
01:13:45Or was the match thrown out?
01:13:48Well, we don't have the official word,
01:13:49but the match is over.
01:13:52Buff Bagwell certainly interrupted this.
01:13:57I don't know what's gonna happen here.
01:13:58They'll probably just have a draw.
01:14:00Yeah, probably outside interference
01:14:01on the part of Bagwell will lead this
01:14:03to be ruled a no contest.
01:14:04Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match
01:14:06as a result of a disqualification, Scotty Riggs.
01:14:11All right, so that seems to penalize Chris Jericho though.
01:14:14But he's going by the book.
01:14:15I guess that's all you can do.
01:14:16That's all you can do is write.
01:14:18Buff would have gotten the ring
01:14:19and hit him both with the belts.
01:14:20It would have been a little different.
01:14:21He went after one man.
01:14:22So that's the way the referee had to see it.
01:14:26Okay, let's go now to Mean Gene Oakerlin.
01:14:28Tony Schiavone, I thank you very much.
01:14:31Brain, feast your eyes on this.
01:14:32Of course, I've known this young lady
01:14:34for many, many years.
01:14:35Wow.
01:14:36When she, well, not that many years actually.
01:14:38When I think about it,
01:14:39when she broke into professional wrestling.
01:14:40Medusa, welcome to Spring Break, my dear.
01:14:44I was involved in some of the bikini contests.
01:14:47I think they had a wet t-shirt or something in there,
01:14:49but that's a different story.
01:14:51I want to talk to you about what happened last week
01:14:53on this very television program
01:14:55between yourself and Luna Vachon.
01:14:58Both of you, of course, vying for the honor
01:15:00as the number one contender
01:15:02for the women's title here at WCW.
01:15:04You know, I am sick and tired of women
01:15:08coming into WCW saying that they are the number one
01:15:12contender, that they can kick Medusa's butt.
01:15:15Especially now I've got managers saying
01:15:18that they want a piece of Medusa.
01:15:21Well, I'll let you know that that ain't gonna happen.
01:15:24Medusa has done that, did that in WCW five years ago.
01:15:28I was the first lady at WCW,
01:15:32and I am the first contender
01:15:35for the women's championship belt.
01:15:40I will fight Hokuto Akita for that championship,
01:15:45be in the United States or Japan,
01:15:48but I will win that title.
01:15:51And Luna Vachon, if you're listening,
01:15:53if you're such a big, bad player, sweetheart,
01:15:56how come your butt isn't here tonight?
01:15:59I thank you very much, Medusa.
01:16:01I think you could care less if that match was in Timbuktu
01:16:04as long as it happened.
01:16:06She is part of the scenery.
01:16:07We are having fun at spring break.
01:16:09We are live from Puebla Villa in Panama City
01:16:13here on TNT.
01:16:14Don't go away.
01:16:16Don't go away.
01:16:19We're gonna take you from the Gulf Coast here,
01:16:21northeast to the Atlantic Coast,
01:16:23recalls our good friend, Lee Marshall,
01:16:24is with us on 1-800-COLLECT.
01:16:27Lee, you having a good time?
01:16:29I'm having a ball, Tony.
01:16:30While you guys are enjoying wearing a bikini,
01:16:32I'm in Savannah preparing for a wearing of the green.
01:16:35Fans already getting tickets
01:16:36for next Monday's Savannah Nitro.
01:16:38Now, you combine Nitro with the nation's second largest
01:16:40St. Patrick's Day parade and party,
01:16:42and it is a big Monday,
01:16:44perhaps since St. Patrick ran the steaks out of Ireland.
01:16:46Now, I'm gonna be jumping on that bike
01:16:48and I'm gonna be jumping on that old Turner Turbo
01:16:50and go to a Nitro party in Charleston.
01:16:53That's the site of WCW Uncensored this coming Sunday,
01:16:56site of a lot of historical battles.
01:16:58Uncensored will be no exception.
01:17:00Charleston, also the home of the Citadel,
01:17:01and there's controversy again
01:17:03at that renowned military academy.
01:17:05Seems some of the cadets have complained
01:17:06about the mess hall serving them WOS,
01:17:10and I've yet to find out what is weasel on a shingle.
01:17:13That did it.
01:17:14That's your 1-800-COLLECT road report
01:17:16from Savannah heading for Charleston.
01:17:18I'm Lee Marshall of the 1-800-COLLECT.
01:17:20That's a good one.
01:17:22Okay.
01:17:23Oh, he amuses you, huh?
01:17:24We enjoy Lee Marshall. He's a good man.
01:17:27And, of course, Lee and Mike Snell
01:17:28will be on the meet-a-man each and every Saturday morning.
01:17:32Weasel on a shingle.
01:17:34And we are at Club La Vila
01:17:36where WCW Monday Nitro kicking off spring break 1997.
01:17:40Of course, this is spring breakout 97.
01:17:43Of course, MTV will be here on the 21st,
01:17:46and as we've said a couple of times,
01:17:47Paul and Nash will be joining MTV.
01:17:50We do understand for the...
01:17:54one of their many programs coming up during spring break
01:17:57called the Fame of Shame with MTV.
01:18:00Watch this. Kevin Sullivan and Jacqueline and Jimmy Hart.
01:18:03Wow.
01:18:04This woman's had a great change in his life,
01:18:06a vicious change in his life.
01:18:08How could he get any more vicious?
01:18:10But he did. He did.
01:18:12If you are looking for a lady to escort you to ringside,
01:18:16if you are a wrestler,
01:18:17and if you're a wrestler involved in heated battles
01:18:19like Sullivan has been known to be involved in,
01:18:22you can't pick a better person than Jacqueline.
01:18:25And how about last Monday on Nitro
01:18:26when she called out the locker rooms
01:18:30and challenged everyone within the ranks of WCW and the NWO?
01:18:34And we saw last week, or two days ago,
01:18:37actually, on Saturday night,
01:18:39we saw her working out, pumping the iron, lifting weights.
01:18:43She is truly one of the toughest individuals,
01:18:46male or female, that you will ever find.
01:18:49And she... you know, one thing she's got going for her, too,
01:18:52she believes in herself. She is very confident.
01:18:54She believes in Kevin Sullivan, too.
01:18:56Uh-oh.
01:18:57Oh.
01:18:59Oh, boy. An eruption to the face.
01:19:01Oh, there we go.
01:19:03Oh, she's laying him in there.
01:19:05Slipping that hard body over.
01:19:07And his hard body, Harrison, is no pushover.
01:19:09He's one tough guy.
01:19:10Of course, he's big.
01:19:11Picks him up.
01:19:12She dropped him.
01:19:13She dropped him right on his noggin.
01:19:15Boy, her old man better get home from work on time.
01:19:17I'll tell you that.
01:19:19I wouldn't want to be ten minutes late.
01:19:21Suplexing the driveway.
01:19:23Night ten with Jimmy Hart.
01:19:24You remember, it wasn't too long ago
01:19:26when Jimmy Hart didn't want hurt ringside.
01:19:29Got a two-count, but he's loving it now.
01:19:32Miss Jacqueline in a short span.
01:19:34We're going to take you back to Des Moines, Iowa, this year.
01:19:37Here's the count of one, two, the end of January.
01:19:39And that's not that long removed, and she...
01:19:43Oh, boy.
01:19:45She came out of the stands
01:19:47as Jimmy Hart has the attention of Randy Anderson.
01:19:51Don't let me have him, honey. Listen to that.
01:19:53Oh!
01:19:56Hard body, Henderson's in trouble.
01:20:01And I just realized something.
01:20:04I said Randy Anderson's name, and I want to bring that up,
01:20:09but right now, we've got some carnage on the outside.
01:20:11Here we go.
01:20:14Hard body, Harrison.
01:20:16Where are they headed?
01:20:17Are they doing it?
01:20:20Are they coming this way?
01:20:22The bell sounds. The match has been thrown out.
01:20:24He's taking him out to the beach.
01:20:25He's taking him to the Gulf of Mexico.
01:20:26Yeah, like that's a concern to Kevin Sullivan at this point.
01:20:30Now, there you see along the deck here.
01:20:32Oh!
01:20:33Head first.
01:20:35What a nice spring vacation for hard body Harrison, huh?
01:20:37He thought he was going to throw some frisbees, maybe.
01:20:40Oh, my goodness.
01:20:42They literally are right on the beach front here.
01:20:46Hit him over the head with that wooden sign.
01:20:48Oh!
01:20:49Oh!
01:20:51Set him out.
01:20:52Two of the world's toughest lifeguards I've ever seen.
01:20:55Down he goes.
01:20:57Oh, my.
01:20:58Oh, my.
01:21:00Down he goes.
01:21:01Oh, my.
01:21:04Harrison went tumbling down those steps, Tony.
01:21:08The sign says, no lifeguard on duty.
01:21:11Harrison needs one.
01:21:13Harrison needs a Jeep to get out of town.
01:21:15Oh!
01:21:17He's fought a man and a woman.
01:21:20They're both as tough as each other.
01:21:21They are as tough as they come.
01:21:23And now he's going to bring Harrison Jackalyn back out.
01:21:30Slams him on that wooden deck.
01:21:32Jackalyn just wailing away on him.
01:21:37Oh.
01:21:39They're not finished yet.
01:21:40Oh, no.
01:21:41He's going in to drink.
01:21:42You think so?
01:21:44Why not?
01:21:45Bye-bye.
01:21:46Oh, yeah!
01:21:48There's a first in our sport, and you've seen it on Nitro.
01:21:53It's amazing this man has strength enough
01:21:54to get out of that water or swim.
01:21:56Oh, yeah!
01:21:58Oh, yeah!
01:22:00Both men thrown out, I guess, a double count out.
01:22:04And Harrison, the safest place for him is in the water.
01:22:07Maybe it'll wake him back up.
01:22:10Now, Sullivan, Jackalyn, Jimmy Hart in the ring.
01:22:14We're going to send Gene Okerlund there.
01:22:16And I also want to say that Randy Pee-wee Anderson
01:22:19is refereeing.
01:22:20You saw him there for the first time since his suspension.
01:22:24We will talk about that.
01:22:25I want to get to you Jackie and you Kevin Sullivan in just a moment or two, but Jimmy Hart you sat by here
01:22:31You're an accomplice to all of this
01:22:32You don't mean Jean when I'm standing out here at ringside next to the test master Kevin Sullivan and Jacqueline
01:22:39I feel like I'm as safe as in the vault of Fort Knox
01:22:43The other women in the WCW are scared to stick their faces out of their dressing room
01:22:49She is armed and she is dangerous and her and Kevin together are just too legit to quit
01:22:56Well, I'll have to go along with that thus far. Would you prove it to me? Miss Jacqueline?
01:23:01Certainly what I'm hearing on the street these days. You've got a lot of fans believe it or not out there
01:23:06You know what? There's a whole lot of women in
01:23:10WCW window dressing, but not me. This is the real deal
01:23:16I can be any man, but there's only one man. I can't be and that's Kevin
01:23:22Let me tell you something Jean
01:23:25Roddy Piper
01:23:27You're the smartest man I've ever met
01:23:32Because you are going to a battle
01:23:35unprepared
01:23:37you are gonna face the
01:23:39NWO and
01:23:42WCW and the most crucial time of your life
01:23:47but
01:23:48your old friend
01:23:50The four horsemen reached out to you and you bonded
01:23:56Piper I felt really good inside
01:24:00Because the horsemen for a year have been floundering without Rick
01:24:06There was no head and there was a lot of excuses
01:24:10you see
01:24:12What the dungeon has done is destroyed the horsemen the horsemen now
01:24:18Have something to focus on and I don't want any excuses. I want to add full strength
01:24:25whether it's
01:24:27McMichael's whether it's Jeff Jarrett, whether it's Rick or my old friend earn and last of not least
01:24:36Benoit and Nancy so Piper
01:24:40This is coming from the three of us
01:24:44Sunday night
01:24:46No
01:24:47Excuses no excuses. Indeed. I thank you Kevin Sullivan. You should hear what the guys are saying at the car wash
01:24:54About this Jacqueline very nice indeed
01:24:57Monday nitro live from Florida and it's spring break
01:25:09This has been a night job that has been overflowing with many different facets of our sport
01:25:17Hey, he's gonna get me down off this roof. It's not gonna be me big guy and
01:25:23Here we go with the nwo making their way in
01:25:26Here we go with the nwo making their way in
01:25:33Twice tonight when Eric Bischoff was suspended all of his dealings all of his decisions were reversed
01:25:47It's great to see that justice was finally served by Turner sports president
01:25:53Last week and Randy Anderson once again has an opportunity to make a living
01:25:57I'll just take a look at 12 of them walking to the ring right now
01:26:01NWO members you call that the dirty dozen
01:26:04well in many ways you
01:26:07But the man bringing up the rear is the man that most disturbs me and most disturbs all of us
01:26:14That is sting
01:26:16with the baseball bat
01:26:18And that is sting that's not the bogus thing that we have been seen or had been seen during 1996
01:26:25That's the man out of the Raptors and now firmly entrenched in the nwo
01:26:33As you can see this is not a good time to be out of the Raptors
01:26:39Strong don't think now there's strength in numbers
01:26:42And they certainly have assembled
01:26:44Right a group of talent and they take their time getting to the ring that make everyone's focus on the question is have they added?
01:26:51One more is the Rodman story. Is this a party or what?
01:26:56Yes
01:27:02Each and every one
01:27:07You know what Hollywood
01:27:10Everywhere we've been the last couple of days, New York City
01:27:16We've been partying people have been asking us is the rumor true
01:27:22His
01:27:24Dennis Rodman the newest member of the nwo
01:27:29Hollywood tell a man. Are you talking about the real hot rod?
01:27:35Dennis Rodman
01:27:38Well, mr. Bischoff, I have to admit last night, New York City you and I
01:27:44Put Dennis Rodman through the nwo
01:27:48Initiation and we gotta admit our afterburners are still smoking brother
01:27:54So all I gotta say for all you nwo lights out there
01:27:59Let's kick back to a little piece of footage to document the newest member of the nwo
01:28:07hot rod dirty Dennis Rodman
01:28:14Sweet
01:28:16Coming up March 16th nwo lights. Don't say that Hollywood doesn't deliver and
01:28:22uncensored the most censored man in America
