FunTranscript
00:00And World Television title, beautiful Bobby Eaton and Arn Anderson of the Four Horsemen will battle it out.
00:06Lex Luger in singles competition, Gordon Soley takes a look at the war games and Sid Vicious will stretch her out.
00:12Yet another poor opponent, all this morning on the Power Hour.
00:30From Hortown, Tennessee, at 232 pounds, white light man, Tim Horner.
00:52In the ring is a opponent from Frankfort, Kentucky, at 293 pounds, Mike Sample.
01:02And thanks very much for being with us here this morning, everyone.
01:05Jim Ross, and of course you've already heard from Pauly Dangerously here this morning on the Power Hour.
01:10We've really got an outstanding broadcast and a lot of big things to be telling you about.
01:14We're kicking off a wrestling weekend here on TBS and we'll be keeping you updated on some of the exciting things
01:22that you will be able to see this coming Saturday night, tonight, and of course tomorrow night on the main event.
01:29Man, we are packed to the rafters here. Will you speak up? I can barely hear you.
01:34There was a snapmare by Tim Horner.
01:37These people must have known I'd be here tonight.
01:41Tim Horner and Brad Armstrong will join forces tonight on World Championship Wrestling
01:46to take on Barry Windham and Arn Anderson.
01:48That should be a great tag team matchup. That's tonight at 6.05.
01:56Horner's not going to be able to knock this big boy off his feet.
01:59He's going to have to go to an aerial assault.
02:01Or he needs to get him off his feet somehow because this big Mike Sample, he goes a good 290.
02:06Horner reversed the hip lock. One of his own. Nice quickness of that. Good drop kick.
02:16Tim Horner is so quick.
02:18I'll tell you, I've seen him and Brad Armstrong many, many times as tag team partners.
02:24And they really make a great combination.
02:27He's not just quick, but Horner is deceptively strong.
02:29Now, he's not built like Lex Luger.
02:33He doesn't have pretty muscles like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
02:36But what he has is tendon strength.
02:38Horner's a great scientific wrestler. He has a great amateur background.
02:42And what he has, he does the most with.
02:47Nice wrist lock. Fireman Kerry takes over by Horner.
02:49Moves it to the arm bar.
02:53Rookie referee Lee Scott signed this contest.
02:57Great crowd on hand.
02:59As you can see, this place is pretty well packed.
03:03You notice all the posters?
03:05I've seen a lot of posters.
03:06The fans are bringing them to our national television taping.
03:09Of which we'll have another this Monday night at Center Stage.
03:12I'll be there.
03:15Will you?
03:16I hope so.
03:17Think you'll still be employed Monday?
03:21Never know.
03:22After all the things you said at the Clash of the Ch-
03:24Hey, you know what?
03:25I called the Raw Report this morning.
03:27You better watch it.
03:28You're getting a little out of line.
03:30You're taking this objectivity thing just a little too far.
03:35Your editorializations are getting a little too heavy for me.
03:38Is your arm sore today from Wednesday?
03:40You know, it is to be real honest with you.
03:42She put up a good fight.
03:43Like that big poster says up there,
03:44we love Paulie Dangerously, world intergender arm wrestling champion.
03:50I thought that poster looked familiar.
03:52It looked like your handwriting.
03:54Even though that didn't happen.
03:57You're right.
03:57I didn't win any championship, but I was great.
04:00Horner both feet right to the chest there.
04:02And he wraps him up here.
04:04One, two.
04:05I thought he had him there.
04:06At least I got two out of it.
04:08Horner very, very quick.
04:09Takes advantage of any opportunity.
04:11As I said, Horner and his good friend and oftentimes partner, Brad Armstrong, together tonight.
04:18I guess Arn Anderson and Barry Windham, who looked completely dominant this past Wednesday night, the clash.
04:24They are without question the most deadly tag team in the world of professional wrestling.
04:30Hey, I tell you what.
04:31Doom, the Steiners, anybody that is in possession of a tag team title had better really be careful of the horsemen because they want more than the world heavyweight championship in their state.
04:43Horner stopping any offense at all that Sample's trying to initiate here.
04:51Snap suplex by Horner.
04:53He's dominant in this matchup, quite obviously.
04:56Well, Horner's a master, as you can see right now.
04:58And so Sample does do a nice reversal right here.
05:01Notice, Horner has a lot of rings, Jav.
05:03He rolls him up.
05:04Throws him up.
05:07Falls back into the bridge, and Horner wins it.
05:10Tim Horner!
05:17Tim Horner with a victory here on the Power Hour this morning.
05:19Still to come, you're going to see Arn Anderson take on beautiful Bobby Eaton, along with Terry Taylor.
05:24These three men chasing the Z-Man for the TV tie.
05:26Here's the thing, the Z-Man has a lot of people breathing down his neck.
05:30And I'll tell you what, with Orn Anderson, Bob Eaton, and Terry Taylor coming after him, I'll bet right now a hot...
05:35Five bucks.
05:37Five bucks, said the Z-Man won't hold the TV title another month.
05:40Uh-oh.
05:40We'll talk more about the prestigious television title as the Power Hour continues on TVS.
05:45From the Texas Tennessee, at 2-8 and 24 pounds, Ricky Morton!
06:04And his partner from North Carolina, and they have 12 pounds at J-Y-E, Dicca Dawn!
06:10In the ring, you're a pulling first from Albuquerque, New Mexico, Mark Tyle!
06:17And his partner from Knoxville, Tennessee, Joe Cisana!
06:23Thank you for staying with us, everyone.
06:25You're welcome.
06:26Jim Ross and Paul E. J.
06:27There's a great crowd on hand here for the Power Hour.
06:31Ricky Morton and the Junkyard Dog, who will be a part of one of the biggest lineups in many, many years in the Omni.
06:38That will be Sunday night, February 17th at 7.30.
06:42Our fans in the Atlanta area, hope they'll be a part of that situation.
06:50J-Y-E starting out against Joe Cisana.
06:53Joe Cisana, great strength, a lot of mass, a lot of power.
06:58Well, he's also a guy that's had a lot of trials and tribulations in World Championship Wrestling.
07:06He has a big shot in the Omni on the 17th.
07:09I mean, he has a chance to get right back into the thick of things, right back into the spotlight,
07:13with Tommy Rich and Ricky Morton as his tag team partners.
07:16They will be going for the World Six-Man Tag Team Championship in the Omni on the 17th.
07:23J-Y-D, nice scoop slam there.
07:26Short move by Cisana.
07:27He got out of the way of that headbutt.
07:29I want to remind you, fans, that WrestleWar 91 is an exclusive pay-per-view event, Sunday,
07:38February 24th, highlighted by the War Games, the Horsemen versus Sting, Rick Steiner, Scott
07:45Steiner, Fly and Bryant.
07:47In War Games, two rings, sitting side by side, all enclosed by a steel cage with a top on it.
07:53And that match continues until one man either submits or surrenders.
07:59Good elevation there by Ricky Morton.
08:02Not only that, but you also get a chance to see Lex Luger, the total package, step in the ring
08:07against the tag team partner of the man that he stole the U.S. title from, Stan Hansen.
08:12He's going to go against 6'8", 300-pound dangerous Danny Spizey.
08:18Well, another big match up there, too, regarding the WrestleWar will be Van Vader and Stan Hansen.
08:25And that is a rematch, a big match from Tokyo.
08:28And tonight on World Championship Wrestling, we'll show you, fans, some of the action from the match from Tokyo.
08:34There's no way you can do that.
08:35We can't show all of it.
08:36We're only going to show part of it.
08:38Man, I tell you what.
08:39Too brutal a show to all members of the family, quite honestly.
08:43But we'll show the fans.
08:44You'll see what we mean tonight, ladies and gentlemen, because the tape from Japan just arrived just a few days ago.
08:55You okay?
08:55Yeah.
08:56Gordon, Gordon, put that cigarette out.
08:59We're on the air.
09:00Does that every time.
09:01You know who's that?
09:02He wakes up from his nap, starts puffing on that cigarette.
09:06Bad habit.
09:07Kids don't smoke.
09:09You'll end up looking like Gordon Stoll.
09:10You know, Gordon Stoll is only 40 years old.
09:13And look at how he looks.
09:14Chuck Yard Dog.
09:15Whoa!
09:16Side rushing next week on Mark Kyle.
09:18I've never seen him use that before.
09:20But we're going to see that finish tonight of Van Vader and Stan Hansen.
09:23Man, that is brutal.
09:24Yeah, it's real brutal.
09:25I tell you what.
09:26I was sitting with Sid Vicious in the dressing room.
09:29We saw a sneak preview of it.
09:31It even made Sid's stomach a little queasy.
09:34And if it can make Sid Vicious' stomach a little queasy, imagine what this film must look like.
09:40Powerful headbutt by the Chuck Yard Dog on Mark Kyle.
09:42Well, Gordon will be speaking to us about the War Games a little bit later in the broadcast.
09:51Gordon, come on over and say a word right now.
09:54Thank you very much, Bruce Paul.
09:55Oh, don't be so disrespectful to Gordon, please.
09:59Uh-oh.
10:00Uh-oh.
10:01You may be an elder statesman someday if you don't get into any more arm wrestling contests.
10:07Hey, I tell you what.
10:08I'll make a challenge right now.
10:10WrestleWar 91 live exclusively on pay-per-view Sunday, February 24th.
10:14I challenge Gordon Soli to an arm wrestling contest right now.
10:19Wow.
10:19Man, you are living on the end of a lightning bolt, aren't you?
10:22I live dangerously.
10:24I understand at WrestleWar you're going to be having a live danger zone with the biggest athlete in the world today.
10:30Seven foot seven, 454 pounds of El Igate.
10:34There's not a boxer.
10:36There's not a soccer player.
10:37A basketball player.
10:39A football player.
10:40There's nobody in professional sports even close to the size of this man.
10:45And I'm going to talk to him, face the belly button, at WrestleWar.
10:50It should be most interesting.
10:52You know, Missy Hyatt's going to be at WrestleWar, your cohort.
10:54I hope her arm's out of his sleeve.
10:56Now listen to this.
10:57You may not know this.
10:58She's going to do the first locker room interview that a lady journalist has ever done in wrestling.
11:05Much like Lisa Olsen with the NFL this past season.
11:08Well, you know, Missy's been in a lot of wrestling, hasn't it?
11:11Well, I better, uh, never mind.
11:13I don't want to.
11:14I proved my point Wednesday night.
11:16Yeah, you did.
11:17I'm surprised you're even here.
11:19You're welcome.
11:21JYD now being tagged in.
11:23There's a drop kick by Ricky Morton.
11:27And I think it's time for the stuff.
11:33Duckyard Dog putting the finishing touches on Joe Casano.
11:37The winners of the matchup, Duckyard Dog, are Ricky Morton.
11:41Remember, fans, they'll be in the Omni on Sunday, February 17th.
11:45Our fans in the Atlanta area, tickets are available now at Ticketmaster Outlet.
11:49They are quite possibly two-thirds of the next world six-man tag team champion, Ricky Morton and the Jump Yard Dogs,
11:56headed Sunday, February 17th, to the Omni in Atlanta.
12:01Now, fans still to come in the broadcast, Clyde and Brian will be here, Vic Sid Vicious, Lex Luger, and our main event,
12:09beautiful Bobby, meets Arne Anderson.
12:12That and more still to come.
12:14Gordon Stolle is next.

13:27Dismissed!
13:28Wrestling News Network concentrates this week on Wrestle War 91, which will take place in Phoenix, Arizona, on Sunday, February 24th.
13:42In the war game, the main event, it will be an eight-man tag team match.
13:47It will be Sting, the Steiners, and Brian Pillman against the Horsemen.
13:51The only way this match can be won is by a submit or by surrender.
13:56There will be a dome around two rings instead of one.
13:59We're going to go back in time now and take a look when these eight met in a single ring.
14:03What a War Games-like environment we have here.
14:07Scott Steiner, elevating nature boy Ric Flair.
14:11And a clothesline by Steiner.
14:13One on Anderson.
14:14He nails Wyndham.
14:15And he knocks Bishes out of his boots.
14:18In the war game, it will be two rings side-by-side, all enclosed by Steele.
14:24Submission or surrender exclusively on pay-per-view.
14:28What a brawl.
14:34They'll settle it once and for all in Phoenix.
14:40They're fighting all the way outside the ring.
14:44At Wrestle War, the cage will surround both rings with a top on it.
14:49Submission or surrender only.
14:51That war game, the pay-per-view exclusive.
14:54Ladies and gentlemen, the official decision, both teams have been disqualified.
15:01It is a double disqualification.
15:06Just imagine the action we're going to see when this is now in two rings instead of one
15:10and completely surrounded by a dome.
15:14I might just point out that we suggest now that you call your local cable operator for availability.
15:20Now, that will be Sunday, February 24th, 7 p.m. Eastern, 4 p.m. West Coast time.
15:26I might also say that Sting and the Horsemen had some comments to make.
15:31Let's go to these interviews right now regarding Wrestle War 91.
15:35Wrestle War 1991.
15:37We're calling it war games.
15:38You remember the one?
15:39The one with the big giant cage.
15:41Everybody comes in one at a time depending on the clock.
15:44Sometimes it'll be two-on-one.
15:45Sometimes it'll be one-on-one.
15:46What are you going to do when something like this pops into the ring and looks at you?
15:51Ha ha!
15:52I'm back!
15:53Horsemen, get in the ring with me!
15:54I dare you!
15:55You don't sit again!
15:56Not yet!
15:56Not yet!
15:57What are you for?
15:57You bunch of so good!
15:59Oh, that's the Steiner line!
15:59No, for him, I got you!
16:00The Steiner aerial moves and all capitalized inside of one big cage.
16:05Tell him somebody, tell him...
16:06You know what, guys?
16:07It seems to me the Horsemen's artillery is just a little bit outdated.
16:11They're bringing conventional weaponry into a war against high-tech firepower.
16:16It's not going to be pretty.
16:19Four Horsemen!
16:20Sid Vissus, last time we stepped in a room with you, we put you in a hospital.
16:25We're going to put you in a hospital again, Sid Vissus.
16:28We don't scare easily, and we don't like you.
16:31Ha ha!
16:31What are you going to do?
16:32Nothing!
16:33Rick Steiner, Scott Steiner, you've got to realize that the War Games are the toughest
16:39match that you could ever be involved in.
16:41You've got two rings inside of a giant cage.
16:44There's only one way in and no way out.
16:48We created the War Games!
16:51The Horsemen made the War Games legendary!
16:55You surrender, or you submit, Sting, Pillman, the Steiners!
17:00Remember, the cage is metal!
17:03It's a weapon!
17:05And you will bleed, and you will sweat, until you submit for surrender.
17:12The guts of the matter is, you could possibly bleed to death.
17:16In 1987, we had 25 of them.
17:19We had the Red Cross following us across the country.
17:22So we're journeymen.
17:24Nobody knows better about blood and guts.
17:26We're bringing it to you, firsthand.
17:29War Games, somebody give you a man.
17:33Obviously, both teams are determined to come out victorious in this War Games, the main
17:37event of Wrestle War 91.
17:40Enjoy Wrestle War 91 in your own home on Sunday the 24th, 7 p.m. Eastern, 4 p.m. West Coast.
17:46From Cincinnati, Ohio, at 229 pounds, the lawyer, Troyer!
18:03And in the ring here's a winner from Seattle, Washington, at 226 pounds, John Peterson!
18:12Welcome back to the Power Hour, everyone.
18:15Jim Ross and Paul E. Daniels will be back with you.
18:17Paul, tonight, hey, there's lots of beautiful ladies sitting there.
18:21Are those your girlfriends?
18:22Of course they are.
18:23Yeah, they are, right?
18:24They're your girlfriends.
18:24Go ahead a minute.
18:25They, uh, they lost me.
18:26Yeah, you probably, uh, never mind.
18:28I, uh, date them both at the same time, as a matter of fact.
18:32And they don't even look like Morgan Fairchild.
18:34Yeah, that's good.
18:35Brian and Brian will be on the program tonight at 6.05, and he's going to be talking with,
18:41uh, Missy Hyatt, as a matter of fact.
18:43Really?
18:44Well, that ought to be very interesting, considering the fact that Missy's arms should be in a swing.
18:49Well, we'll see how, I think she came out of it quite well, as a matter of fact.
18:53She certainly looked, uh, healthy at the end.
18:57No comment.
18:58We're not going to comment on her anymore.
19:00Football blocked there by Flyin' Bryant, who quite seriously faces the biggest challenge of his life in the war games.
19:05He's going to need some good luck, as are all the other gentlemen in that contest.
19:10Hillman, Rick, and Scott Steiner, their leader, the Stinger.
19:14We'll take on Ric Flair, Sid Vicious, Arne Anderson, and Barry Windham.
19:18And we heard Gordon talk about the situation.
19:20Two rings sitting side by side.
19:22It'll start out like, for example, it could be Flyin' Bryant starting out one-on-one with Arne Anderson.
19:28Whoever wins the coin toss, which will be held before the match, that team will have the advantage.
19:33In other words, after the first five-minute period, let's say that the match is, uh, the coin toss is won by Sting.
19:40Then, uh, Rick Steiner would come in, so it would be Steiner and Pillman versus Arne Anderson for two minutes.
19:45And then another horseman comes in to make it two-on-two.
19:49In any event, that's the drift of it.
19:51Every two minutes, then, another person enters.
19:53And then, after all eight men are in this double ring, double cage with a roof on top, then the war game begins.
20:02The match be on.
20:03It goes until someone either submits or surrenders.
20:06But the point is, for the first 17 minutes, you're guaranteed that these guys are just going to beat the heck.
20:12It's like, you're not buying a pay-per-view with Mike Tyson involved, and you're going to get 30 seconds.
20:18You're guaranteed that the main event goes at least 17 minutes before it ever even begins.
20:24Well, we're going to, this pay-per-view is going to be approximately three hours in length.
20:27So it's going to, fans, are really going to see it all.
20:31The Stan Hansen, uh, uh, Stan Hansen-Van Vader match.
20:34Remember now, tonight we're going to show you some exclusive footage of what we can of the first time and only time that they have ever wrestled.
20:43Promoters around the country wanted to sign the remit, but it's right here exclusively on pay-per-view on Sunday, February the 24th.
20:51By the way, I got a memo here from World Championship Wrestling I am supposed to read out over the air.
20:55For all the fans in Phoenix that want to see Wrestle War live and attend the event Sunday, February 24th, because of where Phoenix is, it's going to be Illegal Alien Night.
21:06So if you come in without your green card, all you need to do to see Eligante live in the Danger Zone is bring your velvet painting collection and it's a dollar off your ticket.
21:16You're hilarious.
21:17Thank you very much.
21:19You know how you can tell when Eligante's fans come in?
21:22Their shoes are sharpened.
21:25Oh, I'm such a funny guy.
21:29Big chop there by Flying Brian.
21:32Now he's on top of the lateral press.
21:34Peterson kicked out here.
21:35The thing is, I knock Flying Brian a lot and I have a lot of reason to because he's a buddy of Pete Rose and he never finished the courses that Rick Flair wanted to teach him.
21:43But the thing is, I'll give him credit.
21:45The kid has a lot of guts.
21:47I remember back at one of the Clash of Champions, I think it was November of 89, I think.
21:53He had a U.S. heavyweight title match and the kid would not quit.
21:56I mean, he was beaten half to death.
21:58The kid just would not quit.
22:00He's never given up in his life.
22:02He's had throat surgery since he was six years old.
22:04He's had so much adversity in his life.
22:07He wasn't drafted in the NFL, so he fought his way onto the Cincinnati Bengals.
22:11The kid has a lot of heart.
22:13He is without question the smallest member of his team, of either team, in the War Games.
22:18Can they make this kid quit is my question.
22:21Lion Brian off the top with the double hands there.
22:31Very quick kid.
22:33Very courageous.
22:35Drop kick.
22:36Right in the bush.
22:39Lion Brian now.
22:41Well, come off of there.
22:43Pillman, it looks like, off the top rope.
22:44Here comes that clothesline.
22:46He nails him with it.
22:48Lion Brian tonight.

24:22on the 17th of this month Sid Vicious will team with Dan Henson Henson and Vicious together
24:30that will be in the Omni on the 17th oh there's going to be a lot of scientific wrestling in that
24:35match good vicious six nine got to be considered one of the most dominant forces in wrestling I
24:42don't think he's the dominant force though and who do you suppose is the guy that is seven feet
24:48seven and four hundred and fifty pounds Eligante that's it I don't think he got to even oh good
24:54night our bomb by Sid Vicious we may be seeing the EMT that Vicious has retained out here on this one
25:02here's your winner Sid Vicious is
25:06aging Dr. Fine Dr. Howard Dr. Fine please report to ringside
25:13Sid Vicious is heading to the war game just annihilating Dave Johnson this man there is
25:21no way will ever in his lifetime submit or surrender Dave Johnson goes right through the mat
25:29and there's vicious turning over the gurney Johnson is hurt that's vicious his own guys there
25:37they're not representative of the normal EMTs one would see they're part-timers I think I'm in the
25:43employment office this guy makes me you know I love this style of wrestling but this guy really
25:49scares me Johnson another victim of Sid Vicious
25:55Sid Vicious and uh those rather bizarre individuals he has uh carrying people out his EMTs a little little
26:05weird like Sid up what do you mean little weird like Sid they're doctors they're certified doctors
26:09they load a guy up on a stretcher and they cut his carcass right out of the wrestling arena that's
26:15what happens when you step in the ring with Sid Vicious. Sid Vicious will be in the war games
26:20remember in the war games someone must either submit or surrender let's go now to the ring
26:25this is the United States heavyweight champion in action. The following contest it is set for a 1-5
26:31introducing first from Chicago Illinois weighing 271 pounds
26:37the United States heavyweight champion in the total package
26:42Lex Luger
26:45Lex Luger will be defending his United States heavyweight championship hall for that rest award the exclusive
26:57pay-per-view event against one of the toughest men in the sport 6'8 310 pounds dangerous Dan 5 he should be an
27:06outstanding contest
27:07oh that's going to be an all-out brawl because Spivey's real mad because his partner and mentor
27:13Stan Hansen had the US heavyweight championship ripped off. How do you think it ripped off?
27:19Well Hansen clearly won that lariat match at StarCase
27:22I don't remember it being that way. You're our setting there in St. Louis
27:26Well then you're suffering from premature Alzheimer's now. Uh-huh
27:29Now I'll give you credit where credit's due about the total package
27:32The best in wrestling
27:36Go ahead
27:38Entrance music that is. I love his entrance music. Did you know that my cousin Murray plays the guitar on his entrance music?
27:45Uh-oh
27:46That's true. Murray the musician
27:48Murray the musician dangerous
27:50Arm drag on Lex Luger
27:53Fascinating athlete
27:55To the coming hour
27:57Beautiful Bobby Eaton will take on Arne Anderson
28:01Very important matchup as far as the world television championship is concerned
28:06And also remember tonight, we've got that great broadcast for you
28:09Pauly's gonna have a
28:11As his guest in the danger zone doom
28:14And I understand Theodore Long is out of town this weekend
28:17Or at least today
28:18Yeah, where is he anyway? I've been looking all over for him
28:21Get to ask Simmons and Reed tonight, I don't have a clue
28:23Oh, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
28:25I'll tell you what I'm gonna do tonight live in the danger zone. I have doom
28:30I will ask Butch and Ron exactly where Teddy is
28:33Inside cradle by
28:35Lex Luger and
28:37Went into the ropes there. He would have a pin right there. I feel
28:41I think Luger's making a really big mistake stepping in the ring with a guy like Magnum Force number one
28:46Not that I don't think you can handle him
28:48If I were Lex Luger, thank God I'm not
28:51I would be stepping in the ring right now with people maybe the size of a Mike Samples
28:56I'd be stepping in the ring with guys over 300 pounds
28:58I'd be stepping in the ring with guys over six feet six because he has to fight Danny Spivey at Wrestle War
29:05He's not training properly for that man
29:08Nice move by Magnum Force
29:11Trying to show some offense here
29:13And Luger's just so strong. Nothing's gonna hurt him too badly
29:17A man of Magnum Force's caliber
29:21We talked about our national taping on Monday at center stage
29:24Lex Luger wanted us to remind the fans that he would be wrestling this team tonight
29:28Back in Gainesville, Georgia. It's Georgia Mountain Center
29:31You know where that is, Paul?
29:32It's in Gainesville
29:33Yeah
29:34Yes, sir
29:35That's where I put Missy Hyatt's arm down
29:37Uh-huh
29:38Didn't happen to do it on TV, but I did put her arm down
29:41I did put her arm down, but that's another story entirely
29:45Luger's so intimidating
29:47Found it back suplex by the United States Heavyweight Champion
29:51He has got a busy month of February
29:55I know how that clothesline feels
29:57Do you?
29:59No, I don't care to
30:01No, either
30:01Well, I wish one day he'd slap it on you
30:05Sunday, February 17th, 7.30 beyond the
30:09Luger will be there
30:10And then, of course, a week later
30:12He'll be in Phoenix
30:13To defend the United States Heavyweight Championship
30:16And he hooks it in
30:17And he hooks it in
30:18February is a big month for the Total Package
30:20Who has just made Magnum Force submit
30:23And here's your winner
30:26The Total Package
30:28Mike Luger
30:31I heard where your jaw is dislocated
30:33He's dislocated my jaw
30:35I'm not ashamed to admit it
30:36But he still couldn't shut me up
30:37And neither could Missy Hyatt
30:39And neither can you
30:40And neither can Aligante at WrestleWar
30:42But the Total Package, Mike Luger
30:44Has to step into the ring at WrestleWar
30:46Against dangerous Danny Spivey
30:496'8", 300-some-odd pounds
30:52And can he get Spivey up

33:08The enforcer
33:10Arn Anderson!
33:12We mentioned earlier in the program
33:15That tonight on World Championship Wrestling
33:17Arn Anderson and Barry Windham
33:19Would take on
33:20Tim Horner
33:21And Brad Armstrong
33:22I think that's going to be a great tag team event
33:24But this one has a great deal
33:26Obviously to do with the World Television Championship
33:29And tomorrow night, Paul
33:31In the main event
33:32We've got another match with
33:33TV title ramifications
33:35All we certainly do
33:36It's a Z-Man against Terry Taylor
33:38And that's shaping up to be
33:39A very controversial situation
33:41With Terry Taylor
33:42And his attitude
33:43Now here we go
33:44See that?
33:45Honor among thieves
33:47Also tomorrow night
33:48We'll remind you
33:49That the main event starts at 6.05
33:51And Paul Lee
33:52Will be speaking to
33:53Diamond Dallas Page
33:54Tomorrow night
33:55On the Danger Zone
33:56That's right
33:57He just finished playing polo
33:58With Prince Charles
33:59And you know
34:00I tell you what
34:01The thing is
34:02I don't think we're going to see
34:04Well, we do
34:07A clean break by Double A Arn Anderson
34:09Tomorrow night
34:10When Terry Taylor
34:11Steps in the ring with the Z-Man
34:12Hey, I got five bucks
34:13I'm telling you
34:14I don't know if the Z-Man
34:15Is going to even be the TV champion
34:16Overhand wrist lock
34:17By Beautiful Bobby
34:18And Arn Anderson
34:19Trying to gain the advantage
34:20Test of strength here
34:21I think Anderson
34:22Will have that advantage
34:23Beautiful Bobby
34:24Will have the advantage
34:25In quickness and agility
34:26And uh
34:27Double A Arn Anderson
34:28Pull the hair
34:30Well that took a lot of strength
34:31Bobby Eaton
34:32Has a lot of hair
34:33A lot of wrist strength
34:34By Arn Anderson
34:35Hey, I bet you
34:36More than five bucks
34:37On this Z-Man situation
34:38But
34:39You know
34:40I didn't exactly
34:41Get the winner's share
34:42Wednesday night
34:43Anderson
34:44The good cane wrestling move
34:45Caught with the elbow
34:46By Beautiful Bobby
34:47Anderson
34:49Knocked down in the corner
34:50This is going to be
34:51A tape collector's dream
34:52I mean
34:53You have
34:54The ground technician
34:55The enforcer
34:56Double A Arn Anderson
34:57The most brutal competitor
34:58In the sport today
34:59Against the aerial assault
35:00Of Beautiful Bobby Eaton
35:02The highest flying man
35:03In the history
35:04Of world championship wrestling
35:06This is going to be
35:07An all time classic
35:08What a right hand by Beautiful Bobby
35:19He knew that Anderson
35:21Very prone to not
35:23Not break cleanly
35:24Got him with the right hand
35:25And now Beautiful Bobby
35:26Follows Anderson
35:27Outside
35:28And he nails it again
35:29With a right hand
35:30Now Anderson
35:32Turns the table
35:33Measures him
35:34And misses
35:35The left arm
35:36Wraps around the steel ring post
35:39And that is one of Anderson's
35:41Greatest offensive weapons
35:43Is left hand
35:44And Bobby's going to take
35:45Full advantage of it
35:46But notice the survival instinct
35:48Of double A Arn Anderson
35:49He rolls back into the ring
35:50Before getting counted out
35:51This man does not want to lose
35:53This match
35:54There's a lot on the line
35:55The winner
35:56Gets a shot
35:57At the world
35:58Television championship
36:00Emmerlock applied
36:02By Beautiful Bobby

36:07Double A submit
36:08I don't care how much
36:09You torture this man
36:10There's no quit
36:11In Arn Anderson
36:12Which goes back again
36:13To the war game
36:14Submit or surrender
36:16How can you make
36:17One of the four horsemen

38:53arn anderson hurt that arm hurt the shoulder bobby eating working using all his leverage he's
38:58taking himself out of an aerial assault and he's going straight to arn anderson's environment
39:03which is a ground game i'll be talking tonight to the world's heavyweight champion nature boy rick
39:08lair live here on tbs on world championship wrestling and uh one of the things we're going

39:27line buster big time offensive move by arn anderson beautiful bobby now in a lot of trouble

39:47kill right here because bobby doesn't stay down for long anderson now going outside to follow up

43:11feet to capitalize on this both men really challenging each other in this contest
43:17i'm anxious to talk to rick flair tonight and i don't think he's taking this challenge
43:21meligante very seriously and some of the fans that are rick flair fans are not either that shows you how
43:28smart they are bobby got his knees up right there and he really needs to move in here
43:33if he can go for that neck breaker it's all over he got him beautiful bobby got him with a neck breaker

43:59he may be moments away from being pinned here beautiful bobby trying to go for the piledriver

44:16anderson's gonna win it but both men were in the rope ladies and gentlemen here's your winner arne anderson

44:58is breathing down his neck and if double a doesn't get him he may be beautiful bobby might just sneak in
45:03the back door and become the world tv title if i were the z-man i'd go to the government i'd say
