00:00The United States Tag Team Champions, the Steiner Brothers, the fabulous Freebirds against Flyin' Brian and Brad Armstrong,
00:06and you're gonna see how Double A Arn Anderson defeated that ungrateful Z-man to once again become the world television champion.
00:14All this and a lot more this morning on the Power Hour.
00:30And the bell sounds, and welcome this morning, everyone, to TBS, the Power Hour.
00:53Jim Ross, along, of course, with Paul E. Dangercy, who we just heard from, Tommy Wildfire Rich, and John Peterson.
01:00Here in our first event, Nick Patrick, the referee for this one.
01:05Tommy Wildfire Rich, I understand, just got back from a very successful hunting trip from somewhere up in the Pacific Northwest, hunting and fishing.
01:13How's that gonna improve his wrestling skills?
01:15Well, he may have gotten a lot of exercise, walking, and maybe a little peace of mind.
01:20Cleared his head.
01:21He needs a piece of somebody's mind, because the one he got right now just isn't working for him.
01:27Tommy Rich with a knee drop on the arm of John Peterson.
01:30We've certainly got a great deal of information to bring to you here this morning.
01:34Very pleased that you're with us right and early this Saturday morning here on TBS.
01:40Side headlock again by Tommy Wildfire Rich.
01:44Wildfire, along with Junkyard Dog and Ricky Morton, will be wrestling for the six-man tag team championship of the world
01:49in the Omni in Atlanta on Sunday, February the 17th.
01:54That's a 7.30 start, by the way.
01:56And wouldn't it be nice for all of the fans of Wildfire Tommy Rich in Atlanta, Georgia?
02:01The site of all his great victories.
02:03The site of the biggest victory of his career when he became the heavyweight champion of the world.
02:08That happened in Augusta, actually.
02:10Yeah, but I mean, okay, what part of the country is Augusta in?
02:14Well, it's not in Atlanta.
02:15It's in the Atlanta area.
02:17It's in Georgia.
02:18Don't start with me this morning.
02:19I'm not in a very good mood.
02:20Can't stand to be corrected, can you?
02:22I'm never wrong.
02:24Nice arm drag takeover by Tommy Wildfire Rich and John Peterson.
02:28Have I ever been wrong?
02:29Do you think I want us to get the blooper award this week?
02:33The what?
02:37We must be reading different publications.
02:38Here's the thing, though.
02:40Tommy Rich, coming back now, still on the comeback trail,
02:43really wants to get his hands on a piece of gold,
02:46really wants to be a champion again.
02:48He has a chance, the Junkyard Dog has a chance,
02:51and especially Ricky Morton recovering from the devastating loss of his partner, Robert Gibson.
02:56There's a lateral press, John Peterson able to kick out.
02:58I think it would be really big news if the three of them
03:01could become the six-man tag team champions of the world.
03:05Tommy Rich is sending Peterson for the ride,
03:08and John Peterson, I don't know if by design or not,
03:10held on to the top rope, now trying to show some offense on Wildfire.
03:15Tommy Rich, along with about 35 other stars this Tuesday night,
03:18will be in Anderson, South Carolina.
03:20Great facility there at the new Civic Center for wrestling.
03:23All the action starts at 7 o'clock in Anderson, South Carolina, Tuesday night.
03:27Looks like Tommy's setting him up for the Fed's press.
03:33Kind of got Peterson a little bewildered there.
03:36Nails in with a clothesline.
03:38Probably the most overused offensive move in the sport today.
03:42Peterson's about had it.
03:47Here he goes!
03:48Caught him!
03:51Tommy Rich with a win.
03:53Ladies and gentlemen, here's your winner, Wildfire, Tommy Rich!
03:57What are you doing there, Al Hurt?
04:04Al Hurt, I'm whistling caps, and I'll tell you why I'm playing caps,
04:08because yet another victim goes out on a stretcher to 6'9", 333 pounds.
04:14Hey, buddy.
04:15You're vicious?
04:16You guys have nothing in common.
04:18He's big, he's tough, he's brutal, and you're not.
04:22And we'll be back right after this on the Power Hour.
04:36And ladies and gentlemen, their opponents from Detroit, Michigan.
04:41Total combined weight, 500, and 25 pounds.
04:45Rich Steiner, Scott Steiner, the Steiner Brothers!
04:49Tremendous crowd on hand here this morning for the Power Hour.
04:53Jim Ross and Paul Lee dangerously back with you here on PBS.
04:55It's the Master Blasters taking on the Steiner Brothers.
05:00Also in this segment, the man that Paul Lee was talking about a little bit earlier this morning,
05:03Big Sid Vicious.
05:07And the Master Blasters attacking the Steiners.
05:09Steiners making a very serious mistake there, Paul,
05:12turning their backs on their opponents.
05:14And it's not just opponents, either.
05:15Guys from the same area, like Augusta and Atlanta,
05:19Bay City, Michigan, and Detroit, Michigan,
05:21for the same area as the Steiner.
05:23Uh-oh!
05:24There's a neckbreaker coming by Scotty Steiner on Master Blaster Blade.
05:30Big Master Blaster of Steel and Rick Steiner.
05:33Neither man really gave you an advantage out there on the floor.
05:36I'm very impressed.
05:37Oh, there's a belly-to-belly suplex by Scott Steiner.
05:40Look at the big Master Blaster up there, nailing Rick Steiner.
05:43He's 6'10", 320 pounds.
05:44Yeah, and Scotty's signaling for the Frankensteiner.
05:47He can't go for it this early!
05:49The Frankensteiner!
05:51Scott Steiner!
05:53What a move on Master Blaster Blade!
05:58Yeah, but here are the Freebirds!
06:00The Freebirds, who want the United States Tag Team titles,
06:03are in there.
06:04The Freebirds, in front of DDT, both men elevated.
06:10The Steiner lines!
06:11The Feathers fly!
06:15The Freebirds, who want a title belt call.
06:18Oh, they certainly do!
06:19And like they said, they'll be back!
06:22It's the Steiner Brothers!
06:26Steiner Brothers win the match!
06:28And the Freebirds did interject themselves there as we take another look.
06:32Well, I cannot believe how quickly the Steiner Brothers polished off the Master Blasters,
06:37one of the top contenders for the U.S. Tag Team title.
06:40But now, the Freebirds have made it clear they want a title belt.
06:45And in my opinion, they are only one DDT away from any Tag Team title they darn well pleased to have.
06:54And here you see the Freebirds coming in and attacking them.
06:56Of course, the Steiners, along with Flying and Brian and the Stinger,
07:00will be on a collision course with the horsemen inside the double-ring steel cage called War Game.
07:07The Freebirds here are going to go for a pair of DDTs, but that did not work.
07:14Well, it's beautiful defensive maneuvers here by the Steiner Brothers,
07:17but like Michael P.S. Hayes said, they'll be back.
07:20And we'll be back with Sid Vicious, but first, ladies and gentlemen,
07:24let's hear this from Sting and his War Games team.
07:31Wrestle War 1991. We're calling it War Games.
07:34You remember the one with the big, giant cage.
07:36Everybody comes in one at a time, depending on the clock.
07:40Sometimes it'll be two-on-one.
07:41Sometimes it'll be one-on-one.
07:42What are you going to do when something like this pops into the ring and looks at you?
07:47Ha-ha! I'm back!
07:48Horsemen, get in the ring with me!
07:50I dare you! You don't see anything!
07:52Not yet, not yet!
07:52What are you for? You bunch of no good!
07:54Oh, that's the Steiner line.
07:55The Franken-Steiner aerial moves and...
07:57Ow! All capitalized inside of one big cage.
08:01Tell them somebody, tell them...
08:02You know what, guys? It seems to me the Horsemen's artillery is just a little bit outdated.
08:07They're bringing conventional weaponry into a war against high-tech firepower.
08:12It's not going to be pretty.
08:14Four Horsemen!
08:16Sid Vicious, last time we stepped in the ring with you, we put you in a hospital.
08:21We're going to put you in a hospital again, Sid Vicious.
08:24We don't scare easily, and we don't like you.
08:27Ha-ha! What are you going to do?
08:28Nothing!
08:28Wrestling fans, the following contest is set for one fall.
08:33Introducing first, a member of the Four Horsemen.
08:36He says he's from anywhere he darn well pleases...
08:39Big Sid Vicious!
08:42Certainly going to be one of the future match-ups when the war games at the third annual Wrestle
08:46War take place, Paul.
08:47Of course, on Sunday, February 24th, exclusively on pay-per-view because Sid Vicious says that
08:54he's going to make one of the Steiners or Pillman or Sting submit or surrender.
08:58And he's very, very serious about that claim.
09:01He's also very serious about sending all four of them out of the cage on stretchers.
09:06I want to tell you something, Sid Vicious and Stan Hansen will be in the Omni in a tag team
09:11event on Sunday, February 17th against Lex Luger and Sting.
09:15So all of our fans in the Atlanta area, it is a real super card.
09:19Sunday night, February 17th, it's in Atlanta's Omni, 7.30 starting time.
09:23Just one of the main events will be, as I said, Vicious and Hansen versus Sting and Luger.
09:29Just look how vicious Sid has become.
09:32Look at the animalistic tendencies of this monster.
09:37Sid's dying, 330-some-odd pounds, and there's nobody in World Championship Wrestling that
09:43can even hope of standing up to this man.
09:46Sid Vicious, along with Arne Anderson and Barry Windham in a big six-man tag team event
09:50tonight on World Championship Wrestling at 6.05.
09:52That's going to really be something.
09:54That's tonight, 6.05.
09:55Anderson, Vicious, and Windham together.
09:57And if you think the three of them have not looked into the situation between Ric Flair
10:03and Elie Gante, you're dead wrong.
10:05I mean, all four holes in a very focused on the war game, but they also have really taken
10:12this situation with Elie Gante.
10:14I'm sure right now they are planning something for this freak of nature.
10:18It's going to take them out for good.
10:21We'll talk more about a very startling development between Flair and Elie Gante.
10:25There's the powerbomb by Sid Vicious.
10:29Vicious has been stretchering all his opponents out of the ring the last several weeks.
10:33The winner of the match is Big Sid Vicious!
10:36I mean, check this out.
10:37He absolutely drives Todd Galena right through the match.
10:41The powerbomb by Sid Vicious.
10:44He hooks this on Sting.
10:45The Stingers are flying.
10:46Brian, the war game will be over.
10:50Vicious, and there you see his own employed EMTs.
10:55Maybe Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard.
10:58Galena's hurt there.
10:59They've rolled him on this pressure.
11:00Now Vicious attacks again.
11:02There's absolutely no reason for this.
11:04He's defeated the man.
11:05He's injured the man.
11:06This is unnecessary.
11:10Yeah, but it drives the point home, doesn't it?
11:13Oh, man.
11:15Vicious out of control.
11:16Fans, we're not going to watch any more of this.
11:18We're going to a break, and we'll be back in a moment.
11:20The following tag team event, it is set for one fall.
11:35Introducing first, from Batstreet, USA, in Atlanta, Georgia,
11:40the greatest rock and roll fan of all time,
11:44the fabulous Freebird!
11:47We'll remind everyone, the fabulous Freebird will be
11:50in Anderson, South Carolina this Tuesday night
11:53at the 7 o'clock start at the beautiful new Civic Center
11:56in Anderson.
11:57Over 30 stars have signed up here on that event.
11:59Hope you'll join us if you can in Anderson, South Carolina
12:02this Tuesday night at the 7 o'clock start.
12:06Fabulous Freebird, it's going to fly in Brian
12:08and Brad Armstrong.
12:10Should be a great matchup.
12:14And ladies and gentlemen,
12:16big, big crowd on hand here this morning.
12:17From Cincinnati, Ohio, 226 pounds,
12:22Brian Brian!
12:25He's a team partner from Marietta, Georgia,
12:28234 pounds,
12:31the Candyman,
12:32Brad Armstrong!
12:35Fans, before this gets underway,
12:37I do want to remind you that
12:38an interesting and very violent development
12:41happened recently
12:42between Ric Flair and the 7'7", 450 pound Eligante.
12:46You have not seen that yet here on TBS,
12:49and we'll be showing it to you tonight
12:51at 6.05 on the main event.
12:53It's really going to startle you,
12:54I will assure you.
12:55Flair and the Giant, what an altercation.
12:57You'll see it tonight exclusively
12:59on World Championship Wrestling at 6.05 today.
13:02I was just talking about that during Sid's match.
13:07So?
13:08Don't you listen to what I have to say on this show?
13:10Not unless I have to.
13:12Occasionally I'll
13:13share a word or two.
13:15I don't know about anybody else,
13:16but you're getting my blooper award for this week.
13:18Pay attention when I talk.
13:20I have a lot of good information, you know.
13:22And you're willing to tell it
13:23to everybody you know as well.
13:24So, go ahead.
13:25Thank you very much.
13:26What would you like to know
13:27about the Freebirds today?
13:28Tell them.
13:29Well, we've already seen the Freebirds
13:31hit the ring on the Steiners.
13:33They're going to be lucky.
13:34They get through this match.
13:36But the Steiners don't hit the ring on them.
13:38And if they're thinking about the Steiners,
13:40I think you have to agree
13:41that Armstrong and Pillman
13:43potentially are an outstanding combination.
13:45Oh, not just potentially,
13:46but they are already.
13:47I mean, this whole week
13:48they've been teaming up
13:49and they defeated every team
13:50they stepped in the ring with.
13:51But right now,
13:52they're entering the ring
13:53against not only the greatest
13:55rock and roll band of all time,
13:57but former world tag team champions
13:59Michael P.S. Hayes
14:00and Jimmy Jam Garvin,
14:02the fabulous Freebirds.
14:04They want the United States
14:05Tag Team Championship
14:06as we have documented.
14:08And I've also heard rumblings
14:09that they want to lobby
14:11with WCW's Championship Committee
14:13about perhaps a match with Doom
14:15for the world tag team.
14:17Brad Armstrong very quickly
14:19back in the ring.
14:20There's a right hand.
14:22Brad Armstrong sending Hayes
14:23for the ride.
14:24He elevates the leader
14:25of the Freebirds,
14:26Michael P.S. Hayes.
14:28And Hayes wanted a break there.
14:30The only break he may get
14:31is a broken nose
14:32if Armstrong has his way.
14:36Tag made.
14:37Flying Bryant
14:38will be the legal man
14:40in the ring.
14:41Double elbows.
14:41Hey, he's quickly getting
14:45to the corner.
14:47Isn't that special?
14:50Isn't that special?
14:51Better.
14:52Hear what Jimmy Jam
14:53just told you?
14:54I think he was talking
14:54to some fan there.
14:55I don't think he can
14:56hear my comments.
14:58Make up!
14:58Make up!
14:59Make up!
15:01Make up!
15:03Get up!
15:03Paul, you've got some
15:04interesting interviews
15:06this weekend.
15:06You might want to
15:08admit that to fans.
15:09Well, if you have time,
15:10if you think you can
15:11work it into your
15:12dialogue here.
15:13Well, if you'd like me
15:14to, what do you
15:14want me to mention?
15:15The first thing I can
15:15tell you about is that
15:17tomorrow night on the
15:17main event at 6.05,
15:19I'm going to have
15:19in the danger zone
15:20two men that are going
15:22to be going after
15:23this punk client.
15:24Ryan, at the war game,
15:26Sid Vicious and Barry
15:27Wendeman, tonight at 6.05,
15:30I'm going to be talking
15:31to that heavyweight
15:32champion of the world,
15:34Nature Boy, Rick Blair.
15:36I heard he wanted to do
15:37that interview with
15:38Missy Hyde, but she's
15:39already going to be
15:40talking to Terry Tate.
15:41Everybody wants to do
15:43an interview with
15:43Missy Hyde.
15:44Good move there,
15:44right there by
15:45Ryan taking him over
15:47and the Freebirds decide
15:48to leave the nest.
15:50The match is not
15:51going their way.
15:52You interrupted me.
15:54Oh, I apologize.
15:56I'm so sorry.
15:58All right, you better
15:59listen to him.
16:00He's talking straight
16:01at you now.
16:03You don't start letting
16:04me talk more often
16:05on this show.
16:06The Freebirds are
16:06up right out of the
16:07arena right now.
16:07They told me that
16:08before they went out
16:09to the ring today.
16:10Well, I don't think
16:11we have to worry
16:12about that.
16:14They're not going
16:14to leave.
16:16They may leave,
16:17but they're not
16:17going to leave
16:17under their own
16:18volition.
16:22Armbar by Brad
16:23Armstrong into the
16:24wrist lock.
16:25Instead of coming
16:25here this morning,

16:26at Doom in action.
16:28Barry Windham's here

16:37We'll show you that
16:38match here this

17:19He's the smallest,
17:20but I'll give the kid
17:21credit.
17:21He's the gutsiest.
17:23I mean,
17:23even Nature Boy
17:24Ricclero took this
17:25punk underneath
17:26his wing
17:26and admitted to me
17:27that Brian

18:03of the world.
18:04Who did you hear
18:04that from
18:05as a matter of fact?
18:05I don't know.
18:06It's just a rumor.
18:07Another source
18:08called me up.
18:09They couldn't get
18:10a hold of
18:10Maury Povich
18:11or Geraldo Rivera.
18:12They called me up
18:13and said,
18:13Hey, Paulie,
18:14I got a scoop
18:14for you.
18:15Check into it.
18:16You know,
18:16your telephone
18:16conversations
18:17are going to
18:18get you in
18:18a great deal
18:18of trouble someday.
18:19All your sources.
18:20I can tell you
18:21that right now.
18:22There's a reverse
18:22by Fly and Brian.
18:23That was a nice move
18:24to reverse Hayes
18:26who is obviously
18:26quite a bit larger
18:28move, but at one toll
18:30it took a lot of energy
18:30for Pillman to do it
18:31and he gets the jab.
18:33Jimmy Jam Garvin
18:34wanted to work
18:34over Pillman
18:35but Pillman
18:35tagged in Armstrong.
18:37It's Armstrong
18:37elevating Jimmy Jam Garvin.
18:40There's a drop kick
18:41by Brad Armstrong.
18:43Nails Hayes
18:44and Hayes goes down.
18:46Here comes the Irish
18:48rip to the center
18:48of the rope.
18:49The Freebirds
18:50ran together.
18:52Armstrong now
18:53showed a lot of
18:53offense here, Paul.
18:55And there's Fly and Brian
18:56off the top rope.
18:59Well, they better
19:00capitalize on this
19:02right here.
19:04Armstrong's got him
19:04pinned, but Hayes
19:05from the...
19:06Hayes got him
19:07with a DDT.
19:08The referee was
19:09putting out
19:10Fly and Brian.
19:12Is Garvin
19:12going to get
19:12the cheap pinned?
19:13He got him.
19:14He got it.
19:15Here are your winners,
19:16the fabulous
19:18Freebirds.
19:20The referee did not
19:21see the DDT
19:22by Michael Hayes.
19:23Well, here you see it.
19:28Fair and square
19:29in the middle of the ring.
19:31The Freebirds never
19:32cheat.
19:32Fly and Brian...
19:33Right there was a
19:34cheap shot from the
19:34outside.
19:35They did cheat.
19:36But the referee
19:36didn't see it,
19:37which makes it
19:38perfectly legal.
19:39It's like driving
19:4090 on the interstate.
19:41Unless they give you
19:42the ticket,
19:43it's perfectly legal.
19:45Michael Hayes
19:45making the save
19:46for Jimmy Jam Garvin.
19:48Hooks Brad Armstrong,
19:49slam into the DDT.
19:51One DDT away
19:53from any title
19:54they darn well
19:54pleased to have,
19:56the fabulous Freebirds.

20:40featuring War Games
20:41live on Pay-Per-View
20:43Sunday, February 24th.
20:48Welcome to the
20:51Wrestling News Network,
20:53and I might just point out
20:54that last week
20:55on World Championship
20:56Wrestling's main event,
20:58the Z-Man
20:59and Terry Taylor
21:00had a bout,
21:01the winner of which
21:02was to meet
21:02Arn Anderson
21:03for the television championship.
21:05Well,
21:06the match ended
21:07in a draw,
21:08and as there was
21:09discussion after the match,
21:11Terry Taylor
21:11suddenly slapped
21:12the Z-Man.
21:13A rematch
21:14has been signed,
21:15but let's go back
21:15and take a look
21:16at that incident
21:17as it occurred
21:18on the main event.
21:19One.
21:20Oh,
21:20the super kick!
21:22That's a bell!
21:24This one has
21:25gone to the time limit.
21:25The time limit has expired.
21:27This match is a
21:28time limit draw.
21:30This match
21:30is a time limit draw.
21:32The time limit has expired.
21:35Yeah,
21:35I don't know
21:35if he'd have got him or not.
21:36It looked like
21:37he had it going his way there.
21:38The match went
21:39to a time limit draw.
21:40The Z-Man
21:40telling Terry Taylor
21:41they could hear it.
21:42Good match.
21:43It was a good sport,
21:48something you wouldn't
21:48know anything about.
21:50Well,
21:50it was a great matchup.
21:51Time limit draw.
21:53Oh,
21:53Terry Taylor
21:54just slapped
21:55Z-Man right in the face.
21:57That was unnecessary.
21:59Terry Taylor
21:59after the draw
22:01just slapped
22:02Z-Man right in the face.
22:04That's the look
22:05of a frustrated athlete
22:06as Terry Taylor
22:07leaves the ring.
22:10I'm sure
22:10the Z-Man
22:11is going to want
22:13a rematch
22:13of this one.
22:15That was very nice.
22:18Well,
22:19that rematch
22:19has been signed
22:20and those two
22:21will meet once again.
22:22Also last week
22:23on the main event
22:24on the Danger Zone
22:25segment
22:26with Paulie Dangerously,
22:27Diamond Dallas Page,
22:29an old hand
22:29in the wrestling profession,
22:31took on an interview
22:33with Teddy Long
22:35and said he'd like
22:37to bring a new
22:38inexperienced team
22:39to meet the team
22:40of Doom.
22:41Well,
22:41that will take place
22:43Sunday night
22:44on the main event.
22:45Here's the interview
22:46as it happens.
22:46Diamond Dallas
22:47been rubbing him down,
22:47but they're just
22:48not ready yet.
22:49Who are they?
22:51They're not ready
22:52totally for Teddy,
22:54but what I'm looking for
22:56is I've got to take
22:57the mountain
22:57to Mohammed.
22:59Mohammed to the mountain,
23:00if you will.
23:01I don't want...
23:01Hey, listen, baby.
23:03Get to the point.
23:03What do you want?
23:04Tell me.
23:05All right.
23:05Bottom line is
23:06I want to get a match
23:07with the world champions,
23:10Doom,
23:10right from the start.
23:11I want to see
23:12what they're made of
23:12before I put any money in.
23:13I don't know
23:14if they're even worth it yet.
23:15Wait, now.
23:16You want to get a match
23:17with your guys
23:17against the world champion
23:18Soul Brother Ron,
23:19Soul Brother Butch?
23:20Exactly.
23:21Well, you know,
23:22they might even learn something
23:23if they get in the ring
23:24with the world champion.
23:25I tell you what, Dallas.
23:26I can trust you.
23:27You're my friend.
23:28You're my friend.
23:29My blue-eyed soul brother.
23:31The deal is on, brother.
23:32Hey!
23:33Hey!
23:34And one other thing.
23:35Since it's you, Dallas,
23:35I'll make sure
23:36Butch and Ron
23:36take it easy on them.
23:37There you go.
23:39Next week,
23:40we're going to see
23:41Teddy Long and Doom
23:42and they're going to
23:43step in the ring
23:44with two very unlucky fellows
23:46and Diamond Dallas Page.
23:47So there will be
23:48a series of great matches
23:49tomorrow night
23:50on the main event
23:51and we will see Doom
23:52against this new mystery team
23:54headed up by
23:55Diamond Dallas Page.
23:56And by the way,
23:56I'd like to remind you
23:57once again,
23:58don't forget
23:59Wrestle War 91
24:00February 24th
24:027 p.m. Eastern
24:034 p.m. West Coast time
24:05from Phoenix, Arizona.
24:06And may I suggest
24:08you make your plans
24:08to order
24:09Wrestle War 91
24:10early.
24:11And now,
24:13talking about Doom,
24:14we're going to see them
24:14in action.
24:15Let's go to the ring.
24:17Ladies and gentlemen,
24:18the following Tag Team event
24:19in Inset for One Fall
24:21introducing first
24:23the godfather
24:24of professional wrestling,
24:25Theodore R. Long
24:27presents
24:27Ron Simmons
24:29butchery
24:30the team
24:31of Doom.
24:33You know,
24:33Tate Long
24:34has been very
24:35inconsistent
24:35with his appearances
24:36with Doom
24:37the last few weeks
24:38on TV.
24:39Sometimes you see him here,
24:40sometimes you don't.
24:41I think basically
24:42it depends
24:42on the move he's in,
24:43what appointments
24:44he has,
24:45what meetings
24:45he's got set up,
24:47and also the opponent.
24:48And from Chattanooga,
24:49Tennessee,
24:50Greg Sawyer.
24:51Greg Sawyer
24:52and John Faulkner
24:54take on Doom.
24:55And of course,
24:56tomorrow night
24:57on the Man to Man,
24:57as you heard,
24:59they will be
24:59taking on
25:00the mystery team
25:01that will be managed
25:02by Diamond Dallas Page.
25:04And we are
25:04anxiously awaiting that.
25:06Have you heard
25:06any rumors, Paul,
25:07as to whom that might be?
25:09No.
25:09Not a single one.
25:10I haven't a clue.
25:11I'll be real honest with you.
25:12There's a reason
25:13why I haven't heard
25:13any rumors.
25:14Obviously,
25:15Page has found
25:16a couple guys
25:16in the gym.
25:18They're probably rookies.
25:20They're probably unknown.
25:21Nobody's ever heard of them.
25:22And he just wants
25:23to see what kind
25:23of potential
25:24these two big,
25:26raw athletes have.
25:27Reid with the right hand
25:28followed the left.
25:30Well,
25:31we look forward
25:31to seeing that
25:32tomorrow night.
25:32They better be good
25:33if we're going to get
25:33there with Doom.
25:35World Tag Team Champions.
25:36Certainly an awesome
25:39combination.
25:40There's a lateral press
25:41on top there.
25:43And as for
25:44our long schedule,
25:46let me just say this.
25:47Maybe one day
25:48if you work your way
25:49up the ladder
25:50into the position
25:52that Mr. Long
25:53has a team,
25:54you can dictate
25:55your schedule
25:55much like he does.
25:57Well,
25:57I'll certainly
25:58keep that in mind
25:59as I...
26:00Maybe he can become
26:01my role model.
26:03I mean,
26:03this man manages
26:04the World Tag Team
26:05Champions.
26:06Right.
26:08And he also won
26:09the very covetous
26:10PWI Manager of the Year
26:12Award.
26:12How many times
26:12did you win that?
26:13I never did.
26:14Oh.
26:15Then again,
26:15I never bought
26:16their magazine.
26:18I think Teddy Long
26:19has got the award
26:20because he's a
26:21lifetime subscriber.
26:23How many copies
26:23of that magazine
26:24do you think
26:24the guy bought
26:25when he won the award?
26:26Axel Rady
26:27with that big,
26:28powerful slam
26:28on Sawyer.
26:30Well,
26:30you know,
26:31we've discussed
26:32it at length
26:33and we have
26:34documented on
26:35videotape
26:36a couple
26:36of arguments
26:37and apparent
26:39philosophical
26:40differences
26:41that Reed
26:42and Simmons
26:43have encountered.
26:44But that's
26:45what makes
26:45them a great
26:46tag team.
26:46If they were
26:47the same thing,
26:48you know,
26:48if Reed
26:49and Simmons
26:49were always
26:50on the same wavelength,
26:51if they always
26:52had the same
26:52concept and ideas,
26:54then they wouldn't
26:55have contrasting styles.
26:56What makes
26:56this tag team
26:57great is that Reed
26:58is 17 years
26:59inside the ring.
27:01Reed,
27:01here we go.
27:03Duplex
27:03and you hear
27:04Teddy Long
27:04shouting not
27:06to pin him yet.
27:08You know,
27:08Reed has earned
27:09the condos.
27:10Reed has earned
27:10the Lincoln Town
27:11cars.
27:11Reed has earned
27:12the Jaguar,
27:13the boat.
27:14Simmons is still
27:14hungry.
27:16Beautiful back
27:17double back drop
27:18by the team
27:20of doom.
27:21Simmons is so
27:22hungry.
27:22He's so athletic.
27:23He just wants
27:24to compete.
27:25He's a competitor.
27:26He thrives on
27:26competition.
27:28Simmons back in.
27:30Nellie Faulkner,
27:32very strong,
27:33tremendous athlete.
27:35Has been since
27:36his elementary
27:38school days,
27:39which is well
27:39documented here
27:40on this broadcast.
27:41Not yet.
27:41Not yet.
27:42Teddy says not yet.
27:44I got that.
27:45Senior year
27:46in high school,
27:46our college
27:47Sports Illustrated
27:48lineman of the year.
27:50Wild driver.
27:51Very, very focused.
27:53He is a very
27:54physically and mentally
27:56intimidating athlete.
27:57another one of
28:00those great
28:00athletes,
28:01Barry Windham,
28:02still to come
28:02in our broadcast.
28:04As we said,
28:05if you are not
28:07aware,
28:07Arne Anderson
28:08is a new
28:08television champion
28:09and we'll show
28:10you how that
28:11came about
28:11before we go
28:12off the air
28:13here this morning
28:13on the Power Hour.
28:14This is it.
28:16Well, it could have
28:17been and should have
28:17been.
28:18I don't really
28:18see any point
28:19in this.
28:19They can say
28:20all they want,
28:20oh, they're
28:21sending a message.
28:22Oh, they're
28:22trying to prove
28:23a point.
28:24Oh, they're
28:24trying to tell
28:24this guy that,
28:25this guy this.
28:26Hey, they don't
28:26work by the hour.
28:28Long is making
28:29wrestle now about
28:29two minutes more
28:30than they should
28:30have.
28:31They should have
28:31been through
28:31and back in
28:32the show.
28:33Well, let me
28:33just say this.
28:34They're trying
28:34to send a message.
28:35They're trying
28:36to prove a point.
28:36They're trying
28:37to say this
28:37and they're
28:37trying to say
28:38that.
28:38That's the
28:39whole point
28:39of it.
28:41I mean, you
28:41know, it becomes
28:41a cliche because
28:42more often than
28:43not, it's true.
28:44I find it to be
28:45ludicrous.
28:46Send a message
28:47to whom?
28:49Send a message
28:49to whoever
28:50Diamond Dallas
28:50wants to break
28:51into wrestling
28:52tomorrow night.
28:53Well, that's a
28:53friendly deal
28:56workout deal.
28:58It's a little
28:58big thing.
28:58Yeah, it's a
28:59workout, but
28:59those two guys
29:00are going to
29:00have to learn
29:01just how tough
29:01it is here
29:02in the world
29:02championship.
29:03Ray to the
29:04right hand
29:04right off the
29:05second turnbuckle.
29:06I'm just
29:06wondering when
29:07Doom's going
29:07to put the
29:08world title
29:08on the line
29:09against the
29:09Steiner brothers
29:10who are the
29:11number one
29:11contenders
29:12for the world
29:12title.
29:13And we saw
29:14a team earlier
29:14in the program.
29:15Not my favorite
29:16team, but they
29:17are former
29:17world champions.
29:19The Freebirds.
29:20Why is it
29:20long?
29:20I think he dodges
29:21some of these
29:22people.
29:22I think he's
29:23been very shrewd
29:26just with Doom.
29:27That may be the
29:27art of good
29:28managing.
29:29I don't know.
29:29Are you talking
29:30about a man
29:30that has sent
29:31his team in the
29:31cages into the
29:32street fights
29:33against them?
29:33Fight!
29:38Mind buster
29:39there by
29:39Simmons.
29:40Well, this one
29:41is obviously,
29:42you know,
29:43Faulkner and
29:44Sawyer are
29:44they're hammered.
29:48The guy can
29:49barely stand.
29:50What's the
29:51point in this?
29:52Pin the guy,
29:53put him out of
29:53his misery,
29:54for goodness
29:54sake.
29:56Are you
29:57happy now?

30:13Ron Simmons is a
30:14beautiful pile driver
30:15coming up the top
30:16rope.
30:16Hecksaw Butch
30:17Reed with a
30:18beautiful shoulder
30:18block.
30:19Tomorrow night,
30:20let's see what
30:21they do to
30:21Diamond Dallas
30:22pages to
30:22muscle head.
30:24Well, if they
30:25are muscle head
30:26and they may be
30:26midgets for all
30:27we know, there's
30:27a couple of
30:28guys.
30:28We'll find out
30:29tomorrow night at
30:296.05.
30:30All right, ladies and
30:48gentlemen, we're back
30:49here this morning on
30:50the Power Hour.
30:51Thanks for staying
30:52with us, Jim Ross.
30:52The matchup here,
30:56Barry Windham of the
30:57Horsemen to take on
30:58Carl Robertson.
30:59Excuse me.
31:00Nice arm drag
31:01takeover by Windham.
31:02He just flipped that
31:04guy and threw him
31:05quite a few feet too.
31:06You know, Windham,
31:08Anderson, and Sid
31:10Vicious, six-man tag team
31:11action tonight.
31:12Of course, the leader of
31:14the Horsemen, world's
31:15heavyweight champion,
31:15Rick Blair, had a
31:16recent altercation with
31:18the Giant.
31:18It is one of the most
31:19dynamic pieces of
31:21videotape that we
31:22will ever bring you
31:23here on TBS, and
31:24we'll have it for you
31:25tonight.
31:25It has not been, it's
31:26not aired on TBS.
31:28It's exclusively airing
31:30on cable tonight at
31:326.05, and it is
31:33really something to
31:34behold.
31:34And which broadcast
31:35genius got the
31:36interview tonight with
31:38Nature Boy, Rick
31:39Blair?
31:41Humble Paul E.
31:43Dangerous.
31:43Thank you so very
31:44much.
31:44Your mommy proud of
31:45you?
31:45She's going to tape
31:47this show tonight.
31:47I'm sure you tape
31:48everything you're on.
31:49And I keep those
31:50tapes, too.
31:51I know that.
31:52High elevation there
31:53by Carl Robertson.
31:54Wyndham, 6'6", 280
31:56pounds.
31:56He is a veteran of
31:58war game competition,
31:59and that is something
32:00that we have not
32:01talked about a great
32:02deal, is the
32:02experience factor of
32:04those interesting
32:04boots there.
32:05Really colorful.
32:07Made by the Austin
32:08Hall bootmakers down
32:09in Texas.
32:10But in any event,
32:12Wyndham has been in
32:12the war game.
32:13Remember the war game.
32:14Two rings, sitting
32:16side by side, completely
32:18enclosed by a giant
32:19steel cage with a
32:20top on it.
32:21Eight men will
32:22enter, only four
32:23will leave.
32:24No time limit, no
32:26disqualification, no
32:27referee in the ring
32:28for this match.
32:29And it ends when a
32:30member of either team
32:32submits or surrenders.
32:34And here's my point,
32:36is that none of the
32:37eight men involved have
32:38ever submitted or
32:39surrendered in any
32:41type of athletic
32:41competition.
32:43It's going to be a
32:43gruesome battle in
32:44there, I can tell you
32:45that.
32:45It's not going to be a
32:46very pretty situation
32:47when the horsemen
32:49meet Sting, Rick and
32:51Scott Steiner, and
32:52Fly and Bryant.
32:53Great challenges for
32:54all eight men as far
32:56as that's concerned.
32:57No one is going to
32:58leave there, in my
32:59estimation, without
33:01being lacerated, without
33:03losing some blood,
33:04without being hurt.
33:05I think it's going to
33:06take its toll that all
33:07eight will feel for weeks
33:09to come after that big
33:10event.
33:11You know, you made one
33:12big mistake, though.
33:14When you said eight men
33:14enter, four men leave.
33:16All eight are going to
33:17leave.
33:17Four are going to leave.
33:18Oh!
33:19Four are going to leave
33:20standing up, and the
33:21other four are going to
33:22leave on the stretcher
33:23when Tid Mission is
33:24through with them.
33:25Well, the stretcher
33:26certainly could become
33:27an important part of
33:28the situation.
33:29I'm really a little
33:32apprehensive about being
33:33right at ringside.
33:34I was at ringside for
33:35the very first War
33:36Games, back on July
33:384th, about 1987, I
33:40believe it was.
33:42Man, I've never seen
33:43anything like it.
33:44It looked like a bad
33:44collision on the
33:45interstate, and that's
33:46what Carl Robertson may
33:47be feeling out here
33:48momentarily.
33:49He's being hooked for a
33:50superplex.
33:546'6", 280, Barry
33:56Windham convincingly
33:58wins.
33:58He's the winner, Barry
33:59Windham!
34:04Windham and the
34:04horsemen, en masse
34:06tonight at 6.05 on
34:07World Championship
34:08Wrestling, dynamic
34:09broadcast tonight.
34:10And then headed
34:12exclusively on pay-per-view
34:13Sunday, February 24th,
34:16to the War Games and
34:17the third annual
34:18Wrestle War.
34:19Barry Windham looking
34:20better than he ever
34:21has before with the
34:23superplex.
34:25Still to come, another
34:27member of the horsemen,
34:28the new world television
34:30champion, is Arn Anderson.
34:31We'll show you how he
34:32won it when we come back
34:33on TVX.
34:35You know, Paul, it looks
34:39like that the horsemen,
34:40of course, including
34:41Barry Windham, really
34:42getting ready for the
34:43War Games in Phoenix in the
34:4524th.
34:46It's all starting to come
34:47together.
34:47Notice how Sid Vicious had
34:49his opponent stretch it out
34:50of the ring.
34:51Ric Flair is the heavyweight
34:52champion of the world.
34:53You're about to see Arn Anderson
34:54become the world TV
34:55champion again.
34:56And Barry Windham, I mean,
34:57I've never seen Barry
34:58Windham so aggressive.
34:59It's all coming to a head
35:01February 24th at the War
35:03Games.
35:04Fans will talk more about
35:05that right with this.
35:06Time out.
35:17Get ready to leave in a
35:19moment's notice to go to
35:21war.

36:14February 24th.
36:17Dismissed!
36:18Thank you, everyone, to the
36:19Power Hour.
36:20Jim Ross along with
36:20Pauly Densley back with you.
36:22In just a few moments,
36:23we're going to go and show
36:24you exactly how Arn Anderson
36:26became the world television
36:27champion as he defeats
36:29his evening.
36:29See, this is a great thing
36:30because the TV title has
36:31become one of the most
36:32prestigious titles in
36:33wrestling.
36:33I mean, everybody thought
36:34it was going to be
36:35beautiful Bobby Eaton.
36:36Then they said, oh, no,
36:37wait a minute.
36:37It might be Terry Taylor,
36:38but it was double Arn
36:40Anderson that snuck around
36:41the back.
36:41He's the TV champion once
36:43again.
36:43Let's go to the ring and
36:44see how it happens.
36:45And ladies and gentlemen,
36:47his opponent from
36:48Minneapolis, Minnesota,
36:50weighing 251 pounds,
36:53he is the world television
36:55champion, the Seaman!
37:00The Seaman to be challenged
37:01by Arn Anderson for the
37:03television championship of
37:05the world.
37:05Referee for this contest
37:08is Randy Anderson.
37:11Don't forget, everyone,
37:12WCW action.
37:15Saturday night, 6.05,
37:16two great hours.
37:17The main event this Sunday
37:19night, 6.05, with yours
37:22truly and Missy Hyatt.
37:23Paul E will have a special
37:24danger zone.
37:26Tonight, the bell comes
37:28home, Danny.
37:29Take it to the bank.
37:31That's it.
37:32I'm betting on Anderson.
37:33Arn Anderson will be in
37:36Anderson, South Carolina,
37:38this Tuesday night, along
37:40with all the other
37:40horsemen, including Nature
37:42Boy, Ric Flair.
37:4435 stars in Anderson at
37:46Pacific Center in Anderson,
37:48South Carolina.
37:48That starts at 7 o'clock,
37:49by the way.
37:50Excuse me.
37:51The Seaman just pulled
37:53double-A-R and Anderson's
37:54hair.
37:57Says who?
37:58Says double-A-R and
37:59Anderson.
37:59Now, you might want to
38:00call me a liar, but are you
38:01willing to call him a liar?
38:03I think he's playing head
38:04games with the referee and
38:05the Seaman.
38:06Hold it.
38:07Wait a second.
38:07Something's wrong.
38:10The Seaman pulled the hair
38:11again.
38:12I saw it that time.
38:13Oh, you did.
38:15I don't think so.
38:18I guess both myself and
38:20double-A-R and Anderson
38:20are liars.
38:22Well, you said it.
38:23I'll be sure I remind him
38:24that you did mention it on
38:25national television, that you
38:26and he both were liars and
38:28that you documented it.
38:29I said, I suppose.
38:30As long as you talk about
38:31this, the more you're, you
38:33get to keep pulling your foot
38:34out of your mouth.
38:36Side headlock.
38:37And the Seaman holds on.
38:41He's holding on to the hair.
38:42That's how he's doing it.
38:43The referee's looking right
38:44at it.
38:45Postman ain't going nowhere.
38:46What hair is he pulling
38:47there, pal?
38:48The side hair.
38:51Nice side headlock by the Seaman.
38:54All right, look.
38:54Now, look where his hands are.
38:55The hands are locked, stupid.
38:58How could he pull the hair
38:59if the hands are locked?
39:01He has long fingers.
39:02He's doing it with two fingers.
39:03You're trying to fabricate
39:04something that doesn't exist.
39:10Nice football block by the Seaman.
39:13Great crowd, as you can see.
39:14He's pulled to the Raptors here,
39:16all the way up to the top.
39:18And notice how smart
39:19double-A-R and Anderson is.
39:20He goes right over to the ropes
39:21where the Seaman comes at him.
39:23All he has to do is hold on
39:24to the ropes and the referee
39:25has to call for a break.
39:26Our good friend, Dennis Brent,
39:27the editor of the Wrestling Wrap-Up,
39:29the official publication of WCW,
39:31is here at ringside
39:32documenting this contest.
39:34Don't say our
39:35when you refer to him as a friend.
39:38Say your good friend.
39:40All right, my good friend.
39:41I'm sure that probably
39:41would have been Dennis
39:42for me to give the illusion
39:45that you were his friend as well.
39:47That's not very good
39:48for his credibility.
39:50Arn Anderson rolls out of bounds.
39:51That'll stop the momentum here.
39:54You can see the Seaman
39:54has been working on the left arm,
39:56and we know why.
39:57That's just one of
39:58Anderson's primary weapons.
40:00Oh, it certainly is,
40:01and he's a tremendous southpaw.
40:03And now double-A call
40:04for what I think
40:05any athlete should have.
40:07Time out.
40:07Fans, don't forget
40:08the spectacular event
40:10and real extravaganza
40:12will be in Atlanta's Omni.
40:14Live WCW action
40:16Sunday night, February 17th.
40:18That is a 7.30 start in Atlanta.
40:22We're going to see
40:23Stan Hansen and Sid Vicious
40:25meet Sting and Lex Luger
40:27in a tremendous tag team event.
40:29And I understand also
40:30that Barry Windham
40:31will be going one-on-one
40:33with Ron Simmons.
40:34And a big grudge match
40:36there as well.
40:37Plus, three championships
40:38will be decided.
40:39Hope you fans will join us.
40:41Great seats are available
40:42now at all area,
40:44Atlanta area,
40:44Ticketmaster Outlet.
40:45Z-Man now setting
40:49Anderson down.
40:53And that will certainly
40:54lessen the momentum
40:55of the television champion.
40:57And this could certainly
40:58change any...
40:59Oh, my goodness!
41:01Well, that's certainly
41:03bending the rules.
41:05Bending what?
41:07The rules.
41:07Oh, no.
41:07The rules.
41:08Oh, okay.
41:09Smart Alec.
41:10Thank you very much.
41:12Side hitlock again
41:13by Z-Man.
41:16Anderson has a handful
41:17of tights.
41:17Rolled him over
41:18his shoulder.
41:18Got him there again.
41:21He's got the trucks there.
41:26Obviously, Anderson
41:27trying to get a pin
41:28any way he can here.
41:30Oh, it's not just that.
41:31But look at all the
41:32near falls on Anderson
41:33at this court.
41:33He just had about
41:34eight or nine two counts.
41:36Now, if this match
41:36goes to a time limit draw,
41:38and it quite possibly could,
41:40the referee's going to
41:41have to award the match
41:42to double ARN Anderson
41:43strictly on the fact
41:44that he's dominated
41:45the contest with
41:46more near falls.
41:47That's one of the most
41:47ludicrous analogies
41:48I have ever heard
41:49from anyone.
41:50Why?
41:50More near falls.
41:51We think this is
41:52the NCAA.
41:54Oh, just because it
41:54goes to a time limit
41:55the referee has to
41:56call it a draw?
41:56It's a championship match.
41:58To lose the title,
41:59you've got to be pinned
42:00or you've got to give up.
42:02Yeah, but if double A
42:02wins the match
42:03just on a referee's decision,
42:04then he automatically
42:05gets another title shot.
42:07Oh, is it so ludicrous now?
42:08Yeah, you're making
42:09up rules as you go.
42:11But that's nothing new.
42:11Oh, Anderson missed the knee.
42:15D-Man rolling out of the way.
42:17There's a figure four
42:18made famous
42:19by the world's
42:20heavyweight champion,
42:21nature boy, Ric Flair.
42:22Come on, quick!
42:25Anderson in a lot of pain here.
42:28He was taken to the post earlier.
42:31Oh, goodness gracious!
42:32Two and a half there.
42:35D-Man looking very, very crisp.
42:37He needs to reach those ropes!
42:40He's there now,
42:41and now the referee
42:41will call for the break.
42:43D-Man is very sportsmanlike.
42:47In that break, good dropkick.
42:49On top, lateral press,
42:52one, two, another near fall.
42:55Inside cradle.
42:57I don't think he's,
42:57he doesn't have a lock there
42:58at that time.
43:00D-Man won the title
43:01on TBS World Championship Wrestling
43:03on Saturday, December the 30th.
43:06Anderson's rolling over.
43:08His feet are on the rope!
43:08He got him!
43:09He pinned him,
43:10but his feet were on the rope!
43:12He got him, though!
43:13Well, ladies and gentlemen,
43:15the winner,
43:15and new world television champion,
43:19Arn Anderson!
43:21Well, we said he'd take the victory
43:23any way he could,
43:24and Arn Anderson
43:25has just regained
43:27the world television title.
43:29I told you!
43:30I told you,
43:31Double A Arn Anderson
43:32would once again become
43:33the world television champion,
43:36the best wrestler
43:37on television today.
43:38He whips his D-Man
43:39into the rope.
43:40He misses with the left hook.
43:42D-Man hits the other rope,
43:43comes around.
43:44Beautiful crossbody block,
43:46but Arn Anderson
43:46uses the momentum
43:47to his advantage,
43:48and oh, okay,
43:49so the feet got caught up
43:50in the rope.
43:51He's the new world TV champion.
43:54A tainted victory
43:55at best for Arn Anderson.
43:57His feet were in the rope,
43:58but he's got the belt.
43:59Once again,
44:03Arn Anderson
44:04is the television champion,
44:05taking the title home
44:06with the Horsemen.
44:08Now, this Sunday night
44:09on the main event
44:09at 6.05,
44:11Terry Taylor
44:11and the Z-Men
44:12will wrestle
44:13in a return match.
44:15Last Sunday night,
44:16they had a time limit draw,
44:18and Taylor really
