00:00:00Last night, Super Bowl nine, Hollywood Hogan,
00:00:05the World Heavyweight Champion, and the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
00:00:09What a match this was between two of the greats of all time.
00:00:13It was everything we'd expect it to be between two of the greats.
00:00:17Later on in that telecast, and later on in that match,
00:00:20as the match went inside and outside of the ring, and
00:00:23it seemed that maybe Flair had an advantage or Hogan using belt had an advantage.
00:00:27Here came the lady in red.
00:00:29We had seen her so many times on this program.
00:00:31She slaps the Nature Boy, Ric Flair, and then out walks a masked man.
00:00:36Who was this masked man and what purpose did he have?
00:00:39It was David Flair, Ric Flair's young son who helped Hollywood Hogan and
00:00:44the NWO hold on to the World Heavyweight Championship at Super Bowl number nine.
00:00:50And we welcome you, ladies and gentlemen, one night later to WCW Monday Nitro.
00:00:56Live in the capital of California, Sacramento, and the ARCA Arena.
00:01:00Tony Cimani, the living legend Larry DiBisco, and the professor Mike Tenet.
00:01:05We have new World Tag Team Champions.
00:01:07Barry Windham and Kurt Hennig win the belts.
00:01:10Scott Hall becomes a new US Heavyweight Champion.
00:01:13All other titles remain status quo, but the most disheartening thing Mike Tenet certainly was young David Flair.
00:01:19This lady we had known, we had seen her on this program, had no idea why she was there, but we found out why she helped the NWO and the Wolf Pack coerced David Flair to attack his own father.
00:01:32Tony, I think it has to be rated as one of the most disappointing moments ever in professional wrestling, especially in a match where Ric Flair had dedicated it to his family.
00:01:41And on the verge of victory with Hogan locked in the figure four, his 19-year-old son David brought the stun gun to the ring.
00:01:47You know, it was the most disheartening, disgusting thing I've ever seen in my life.
00:01:51I'm sure Ric Flair is at the lowest point of his, not only his life, his fatherhood.
00:01:58Obviously, there's a big lack of discipline in the Flair household.
00:02:01Well, let me tell you this, fans, I'm very close to the Flair family.
00:02:04Later on tonight in this telecast, I'm going to mediate a discussion face-to-face father and son.
00:02:11That's exactly right. Ric Flair will be here, David Flair will be here, and they'll be able to see each other eye-to-eye for the first time since last night.
00:02:20That's later on the telecast. As a matter of fact, we can take you right back now to the special interview room that we have all set up,
00:02:26where I will sit between father and son and discuss what went down last night.
00:02:31As you see, they're preparing the lights and preparing the room as we speak.
00:02:34But also, there is a party going on at University of California, Berkeley. It's a Nitro party. Let's take you there.
00:02:41All right. Thanks, Tony. Hey, take a look. Which one of us isn't part of the Cal Berkeley football team?
00:02:47That would be me. I'm Ricky Racklin. Now, all you Monday Night Show people are going to get real sick of seeing my face,
00:02:53because I'm going to be with you for the next five weeks. You see, we're doing this Monday Night Show spring breakout thing.
00:02:59We're going to be going across the country. We're going to be finalizing in five weeks in Panama City, Florida.
00:03:05Next week, we're in North Carolina. Come down, join us. These guys are all from Cal Berkeley. They're some sick puppies.
00:03:11And let me tell you what else we got at the Monday Night Show party. I think we got some Nitro girls.
00:03:17You want to see some Nitro girls? And this is brought to you from some of your friends at Santa Burst Gum.
00:03:23You can bite the burst. The gum looks like this. Nitro girls look like this. This is Cal Berkeley. It's a Monday Night Show party. Uh-huh.
00:03:35Let's go.
00:03:41Our thanks to Ricky Racklin. He's in at Cal Berkeley. We'll be going out to him many times at the court.
00:03:56Fans, the Campus Clash events will be happening each weekend in various cities across the country featuring the Nitro girls and various WCW wrestlers.
00:04:04Let's take a look at this week's Campus Clash at Cal Berkeley.
00:04:08We're the Nitro girls on the road to Spring Break here at Cal Berkeley.
00:04:13We're going so early on. We just had the Nitro girls on the road to George to theridge down the street from presents in Cal Berkeley.
00:04:30Let's take a look.
00:04:31We're going so early in Yesterday Night Show party we're here.
00:04:36It was completely early and low-potting up and down the road to the Lake ofонь.
00:04:37That was very early in theitas that came out of Chicago but it was 10 and the pool for the bus.
00:05:11We're gonna bring out the Nitro girls who are here at the ARCA Arena tonight.
00:05:41We have them at Cal Berkeley, as you know, are the campus flashed, and as we begin spring
00:05:45breakout to take us all the way to the 22nd of March, when we have our spring breakout
00:05:50Nitro at Club La Vila in Panama City.
00:05:53We see the Nitro girls here, and I got some big news for everybody, including my broadcast
00:05:57team.
00:05:57Tonight on this program, we will debut the first-ever Nitro Girls Swimsuit Exposé.
00:06:05That'll happen later on tonight on this telecast.
00:06:08Also combined with the greatest wrestling action in the world, including Bret the Hitman, Hart,
00:06:14and Booker T in a number-one contender match.
00:06:16Kevin Nash will face Rey Mysterio Jr., who no longer has a mask as a result of what happened
00:06:23last night.
00:06:24Plus a whole lot more on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:06:27We come to you from the ARCA Arena.
00:06:29We're in Sacramento, California.
00:06:31And the return trip to this lovely facility and great wrestling fans here in the state
00:06:40of California.
00:06:41And last night in California, Oakland, Coliseum, Super Brawl number nine took place.
00:06:48We talked earlier about what went down with Hollywood Hogan and Ric Flair and the unthinkable
00:06:54with David Flair and that lady who we have been seeing so many times on this telecast.
00:06:59That's fresh in our mind, but of course, we had some other big matches that happened last
00:07:04night as well.
00:07:05We're gonna take you now back to some of the scenes, courtesy of WCW Magazine, between
00:07:10Bam Bam Bigelow and Goldberg.
00:07:14Remember, Bigelow had won at Goldberg ever since he first came in to World Championship
00:07:19Wrestling, and this was a bitter battle.
00:07:21Nose to nose, they went for most of the evening.
00:07:24Goldberg with the power moves.
00:07:25Bam Bam Bigelow tried many times with submission holds.
00:07:29And it was a fine wrestling match, but in the end, as Bam Bam Bigelow gave it his all with
00:07:34flying headbutts, it was not one, but it was two spears from Goldberg that led to the
00:07:40jackhammer that propelled Goldberg to a hard-fought win against Bam Bam Bigelow as part of Super
00:07:46Raw number nine last night.
00:07:49So we go back to the arena here for wrestling action tonight on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:07:54Well, Bam Bam Bigelow had made it his express purpose since arriving on the scene in World
00:07:59Championship Wrestling, that he was going to make instant headlines by being the man to knock
00:08:05off Goldberg.
00:08:06He finally got his shot last night at Super Raw nine.
00:08:10It was a hard-fought battle, but Goldberg was able with two spears and finally getting that
00:08:166'5", 340 pound beast from the east up in the air and able to nail him with the jackhammer and
00:08:23Goldberg scored the victory.
00:08:24And of course, Mr. Bigelow found out the hard way that we don't always get what we want.
00:08:31Well, and you're right, Larry, but I want to give Bam Bam Bigelow a lot of credit because
00:08:35he had said that he was better than Goldberg and he went in the ring to try to prove that
00:08:40and Bigelow really pushed him.
00:08:42Now, many of you saw the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Friday night when Goldberg laid out
00:08:46that big challenge and it's very apparent that there's a lot of people out there that try
00:08:50to talk the talk, but when it comes, push comes to shove, they can't walk the walk.
00:08:56And I can tell you this right now, Goldberg will back down from no man, will back down
00:09:01from no challenge.
00:09:02Bigelow went in the ring, Bigelow's gonna get another chance, you can better believe,
00:09:06at WCW.
00:09:07Made a good sign last night, he's a great big power man, but Goldberg is the man.
00:09:13And has set the standard in professional wrestling week in and week out.
00:09:17We're gonna open up here with Jerry Flynn and Mike Enos.
00:09:21Jerry Flynn with a superb kickboxing background, I don't think there's any
00:09:25question there, and Mike Enos has been very successful as well.
00:09:29As a matter of fact, on WCW Saturday night, came away with a big victory just a couple
00:09:34of days ago, so he's on a winning streak, but the same thing can be said of Jerry Flynn.
00:09:37I tell you, Enos is a tough guy, and talk about a man who'd like to set a standard.
00:09:42He's been trying hard for years, working very hard at it, and maybe a little better
00:09:47on the back than Flynn, Flynn's gonna have to be careful here.
00:09:49Lightning foot, Jerry Flynn has been on a roll as of late, as well as Mike Enos, and
00:09:53in Jerry Flynn's case, it's combining both the martial arts skills with the knowledge
00:09:58of professional wrestling, and Larry, I know you can relate to that combination.
00:10:01That's a good combination if you use it in the proper perspective.
00:10:05This is not a dojo, this is a big wrestling ring, so the bottom line is, the best wrestler
00:10:10is gonna win.
00:10:12Over the top, all the way to the floor goes Jerry Flynn, and here comes Mike Enos.
00:10:16Scott Dickinson, as you can see, is back from his suspension.
00:10:19He's the referee assigned, and this is the opening bout.
00:10:21And don't forget, fans, that as a result of what went down last night at Super Brawl, when
00:10:26the unthinkable happened, when Ric Flair, who dedicated the match to his family, had his
00:10:31son, and David turned his back on his father, caused his father to lose.
00:10:36And we're gonna have the first face-to-face meeting that I will mediate in the back between
00:10:43David Flair and the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
00:10:45Here's a pick-up by Enos, and he said it last night, and I'm gonna say it again, that Ric Flair
00:10:52has battled back from a lot of adversity, physical adversity, but maybe the one that bruised his
00:10:57heart, that cut to the quick, so to speak, is the one that he cannot rebound from.
00:11:01Well, I tell you, how can you rebound from your own son?
00:11:04I mean, this isn't personal, this is not business, this is family.
00:11:08I don't know how Flair's gonna handle, but I'll tell you, the first thing I'd do is call
00:11:11my lawyer.
00:11:12My kid would be out of that wheel so fast, he'd be walking down with a shopping cart.
00:11:16There have been so many questions over the course of the past 20-plus hours since last
00:11:20night at Super Bowl.
00:11:21The intent of David Flair, well, it was obvious last night, but what was going through this 19-year-old's
00:11:27mind?
00:11:28How many you'll have an opportunity to get those answers later tonight?
00:11:31We'll finally get the answers to those questions.
00:11:33Well, I tell you, 19-year-old kids don't know much, but he'll find out that without money,
00:11:38that blonde won't be around.
00:11:39I can tell you, I mean, I'm not going in there with David and Ric Flair to find out what
00:11:44he was thinking.
00:11:45Hey, we know what David Flair was thinking.
00:11:48It's very apparent the lady is a knockout.
00:11:50She's gorgeous.
00:11:51And she was part of a master plan.
00:11:52And here's a cover.
00:11:53One, two.
00:11:54We got a two count.
00:11:55And she was part of all this.
00:11:57I know what he was thinking, okay?
00:11:59We all as men know what he was thinking.
00:12:01But I just want to hear Ric Flair's reaction when he gets his son face-to-face.
00:12:05Monk.
00:12:06Monk.
00:12:07I didn't know what he was thinking.
00:12:08What?
00:12:09Easy.
00:12:10Back elbow.
00:12:11And runs off with a left-handed lariat there.
00:12:13Jerry Flynn with a good move, sending Enos down.
00:12:16Hey, Flynn's explosive.
00:12:17I mean, he's very quick with his hands and his arms.
00:12:20But Enos is a big man.
00:12:21And Flynn right there, you've got to get more aggressive.
00:12:24One good move is not enough.
00:12:25Flynn's got to be very aggressive with the combination.
00:12:28Right in the ribs.
00:12:29You can't put muscle tissue over the ribs under that armpit.
00:12:33One hundred problems with the fans.
00:12:35How many times have we seen it, guys?
00:12:37It was abundantly clear last night that when you have a chance,
00:12:41and you get a chance to win a match, don't fool with the fans.
00:12:45Don't do that.
00:12:46I mean, so many times last night, wrestlers would go up top,
00:12:49and they would roll for the fans.
00:12:50And what would happen?
00:12:51They would end up losing.
00:12:53And here, as a result, Enos with a lariat putting down Flynn.
00:12:58Scoop slam to put him back down.
00:13:00And Flynn with that cross heartbreaker.
00:13:02He held on to it and rolled through it.
00:13:04Oh, quick tap out by Mike Enos.
00:13:06Jerry Flynn, excellent move off the rollout.
00:13:09And Jerry Flynn a little slow to break that cross-arm breaker.
00:13:12Jerry Flynn immediately with a cross-arm breaker gets away.
00:13:19I will take this.
00:13:21Also still to come, Bret the Hitman Hart and Booker T in the number one contender match.
00:13:27Ray Mysterio Jr. going to see him for the first time ever without his mask.
00:13:32He lost it last night.
00:13:33We'll face big sexy Kevin Nash in this telecast.
00:13:36Plus, the Nitro Girls swimsuit expose all coming tonight.
00:13:41I'll be between David Flair and the nature boy Rick Flair backstage.
00:13:46I still can't get over last night.
00:13:48I'm so proud of you.
00:13:50No, I had to do it.
00:13:51Well, it takes a lot of guts.
00:13:53You did it.
00:13:54I had to do it.
00:13:55It's my time to shine here.
00:13:56Just like you were supposed to.
00:13:57That's right.
00:13:58You gotta tell him how it is when he comes in here.
00:14:01Well, let's just get him in here and get this over with here.
00:14:04You know what to say.
00:14:05Yep.
00:14:06Exactly.
00:14:07Tell him who's boss.
00:14:08I can do it.
00:14:19We are back in the locker room area here for Nitro at the Arco Arena.
00:14:23I'm with Booker T.
00:14:24His successful return to major pay-per-view action last night in the Bay Area.
00:14:30Of course, it's Superbrawl going one-on-one with the Disco Inferno.
00:14:34The return of Booker T since that injury and also the return of the Harlem Hangover.
00:14:39You know, Gene, it was all good.
00:14:41You know, the people had me.
00:14:42You know, I had my blood, you know, pumping.
00:14:44I'm going crazy.
00:14:45You know, everybody raising the roof.
00:14:46You know, it was totally, T totally off the hook.
00:14:49And Disco Inferno, you was the first but not the last recipient of the Harlem Hangover.
00:14:55Baby, in 1999, we finna turn it up.
00:14:58It's going to be on like neck bone, like Booker T always say.
00:15:01All right, Booker T, that was yesterday.
00:15:03That was last night.
00:15:04Tonight is a whole new ball game, so to speak.
00:15:07We have a new WCW U.S. champ.
00:15:10That man is Scott Hall.
00:15:11Tonight, right here, you're going to be facing Bret the Hitman Hart.
00:15:15Undoubtedly, the winner of this one will be the number one contender for that coveted title.
00:15:20You know, on a more serious note, Gene, you know, I know this guy Bret Hart.
00:15:23He ain't got no love for me.
00:15:25This cat ain't got no love for Booker T.
00:15:27So what I'm telling you, Bret Hart, is this.
00:15:29I'm at the top of my game, man.
00:15:31I'm feeling good right now.
00:15:32I feel like I'm 100% OGB straight from the hood.
00:15:36Now, can you dig it?
00:15:37The knee is 100%.
00:15:38So let me tell you like this.
00:15:40Bret Hart, get ready to go all night long.
00:15:43And I'm going to tell you, Booker T will not stop.
00:15:45He will not quit until he is the number one contender.
00:15:49Now, can you dig it?
00:15:50All right, that is going to happen tonight.
00:15:52Whether it is this man or Bret the Hitman Hart, the one that walks out a victor tonight,
00:15:57is going to be the number one contender for the United States title.
00:16:01Thanks a lot, me and Gene Oakland.
00:16:03We're going to take you back now to Cal Berkeley.
00:16:05A spring breakout activity brought to you by 1-800-COLLECT.
00:16:08It's fast, it's easy, it's safe.
00:16:10Let's go now on campus again, our good friend Ricky Rockman.
00:16:13Ricky.
00:16:14Thank you, Tony.

00:16:37Oh, let me tell you about this guy.
00:16:38You see, what we're doing is we're going to some of the campuses across the country.
00:16:42Ending up in about five weeks with a big Monday Nitro spring breakout party in Panama City.
00:16:47Now, this guy won a special prize from the good people at 1-800-COLLECT.
00:16:52What is your name, sir?
00:16:54Marco Reynaldi.
00:16:55Marco is a big WCW fan.
00:16:57Who is your favorite wrestler?
00:16:58Rey Mysterio Jr.
00:16:59Ooh, heavy night last night for Rey Mysterio Jr.
00:17:02Now, let me tell you something.
00:17:03This guy showed up at the campus for campus class with us yesterday.
00:17:06He is going to Panama City, Florida with us.
00:17:09And we are going to be having a nuts party tonight, Trevor.
00:17:12Some psychopaths at Cal Berkeley.
00:17:19Welcome back home, big man.
00:17:20I mean, you're kicking me high out of him in Japan.
00:17:22I'm about to tell you one thing.
00:17:23Hollywood put me in charge.
00:17:25Hmm?
00:17:26Hollywood made me the man.
00:17:28You're the man.
00:17:29Right.
00:17:30I got it on record and say, Vince, you are the man.
00:17:33So take care of all the young children out there.
00:17:35You're not a child.
00:17:36You're a big bruise, man.
00:17:37But he put me in charge.
00:17:39You're the man.
00:17:40Yeah, when you're smart, you gotta put you in charge.
00:17:42You know what I mean?
00:17:43You're the man, Vince.
00:17:47Big Papa Pump is looking for a little romancing.
00:17:53Now how about you, baby?
00:17:55You wanna be with a real man?
00:17:57His wife likes me not only for my body.
00:18:01How about you?
00:18:02You wanna be with a real man?
00:18:04But for my personality.
00:18:06I've seen your man and I beat your man like a dog.
00:18:11Come on, be the freak.
00:18:12Come on.
00:18:13Scott Steiner visibly stalked Kimberly, your wife.
00:18:17She's a very, very attractive woman,
00:18:19but this is going way too far.
00:18:21Over the edge.
00:18:22There's not a day that goes by where some lowlife guy
00:18:26doesn't try to put the make on Kimberly.
00:18:29When you're married to someone who looks like that,
00:18:31that sort of runs with the territory.
00:18:33This becomes very personal.
00:18:35To say I was mad as hell is an understatement.
00:18:39I'm not so sure if he gets in the car to take off with her
00:18:43or maybe Big Papa Pump was just trying to get away.
00:18:45I'm not so sure.
00:18:46There's no way.
00:18:47How can you get into the mind of someone as deranged
00:18:49as Big Papa Pump Scott Steiner?
00:18:51Scott Steiner has filed civil suit in Superior Court
00:18:53in Buffalo, New York for monetary damages arising
00:18:56from an attack by Diamond Dallas Page.
00:19:01It was a very scary thing.
00:19:03I felt so many things, fear for the rest of us as well,
00:19:06for Kimberly, shock.
00:19:07And we love you and we hope you're doing okay.
00:19:09But I'm gonna raise the stakes.
00:19:11He's claiming damages in excess of $1 million.
00:19:13I'm gonna raise the stipulation.
00:19:17He faces a possible 15-year size.
00:19:20If I beat you in Super Bowl, I'll get your wife for 30 days.
00:19:29So we're back in the arena, we do have a response to that.
00:19:32That stipulation was a stipulation from the mind of Big Papa Pump.
00:19:36That was not agreed upon by any member of WCW, obviously not by Diamond Dallas Page.
00:19:42Why in the world would any man agree to put his wife up for 30 days?
00:19:46That did not go down.
00:19:47That stipulation did not take place.
00:19:49Although last night what did take place was one of the more physical match-ups
00:19:53for the television title between Scott Steiner and Diamond Dallas Page,
00:19:57resulting in Steiner holding on, continuing to hold on to the TV belt.
00:20:02And a huge assist to Buff Bagwell as well, Tony.
00:20:06You'll remember that Bagwell cut loose the turnbuckle pass.
00:20:10And it was Big Papa Pump Scott Steiner who continued to take Diamond Dallas Page
00:20:15and drive him into that exposed steel, setting up the Steiner recliner.
00:20:19Diamond Dallas Page was stretchered out of the ring last night
00:20:22in Oakland, California at Super Bowl.
00:20:24Well, an assist is a nice way to put it.
00:20:26Let me put it in layman's terms here. They cheated.
00:20:30MWO style.
00:20:32It was a physical match. DDP came in.
00:20:35And I think DDP came in, we will all agree, with controlled temper.
00:20:40Not easy to do, the same thing Flair came in with, controlled temper.
00:20:44Nonetheless, the NWO on many fronts prevailed last night.
00:20:49And we mentioned earlier Bam Bam Bigelow's match against Goldberg.
00:20:53And here he comes out here on WCW Monday Nitro
00:20:56against Van Hammer in our next match-up.
00:21:00I tell you, Van Hammer better be careful.
00:21:02Bam Bam Bigelow's not the kind of guy that eats Keese.
00:21:05Van Hammer, one of the biggest, strongest in our sport as well.
00:21:14And Bigelow comes in, he looks around getting a-
00:21:18Look at him, they're going now.
00:21:20They're giving him the Goldberg chance.
00:21:23The bell sounds. Certainly losing to Goldberg is almost status quo in this sport.
00:21:35Everyone has. Everyone not wielding a stun gun, that is.
00:21:39But nobody wants that status.
00:21:42Then they shouldn't sign a match to facing.
00:21:44Yeah, not exactly in select company if you lose to Goldberg.
00:21:47String of victories that he has rolled up over the course of the past year and a half.
00:21:52Fans, we saw earlier that we saw just a clip of a brand new music video from Conan.
00:21:59We're going to debut a new Conan music video later on in this telecast,
00:22:03as well as the Nitro Girls Swimsuit Exposé.
00:22:08That's going to debut here tonight.
00:22:10And my intervention, I don't know if I can use that term,
00:22:13but my mediation of Ric Flair and his son David Flair tonight
00:22:17on this program live from the Arco Arena.
00:22:22Van Hammer trying to take the fight right to this big guy, Bam Bam Bigelow, living in relation.
00:22:26I tell you, Hammer's, he's going to have a tough time of it.
00:22:30Bigelow very experienced.
00:22:32I mean, you see the match he had against Goldberg last night.
00:22:35It was not an easy victory for Goldberg.
00:22:38Bigelow, the beast from the east, is a perfect moniker.
00:22:43Van Hammer doing quite well here in the early going,
00:22:46using his quickness to stay one step ahead of Bigelow,
00:22:49but now you see the overall power and strength advantage as he just muscles him into the corner.
00:22:53Oh, got the boot coming in.
00:22:56Face Goldberg, as you said last night, Darren.
00:22:58Van Hammer comes off nicely done, and Bigelow rolls out.
00:23:02Yeah, Van Hammer though, he's not following him out there.
00:23:04You've got to get nasty.
00:23:06You're not talking about a human being.
00:23:08You're talking about Bam Bam Bigelow,
00:23:10and all Hammer did right there is cut him a break.
00:23:13Bigelow buying some time.
00:23:18I know you can just see by his demeanor.
00:23:21He's very frustrated.
00:23:22He's very upset about what went down last night.
00:23:25But like I said, Bigelow really pushed Goldberg, and Goldberg, I mean, let's not forget that Goldberg is still in the formative years of his development in pro wrestling.
00:23:37He's still very much a rookie in many regards, but he learned a lot last night going up against a guy like Bigelow with the size, the skill, and the attitude of a Bam Bam.
00:23:48And so even though Goldberg wins and Bigelow loses, Goldberg learned a lot last night.
00:23:53Now how many occasions have we talked about Goldberg being taken to the limit?
00:23:57Not many, and I'm not sure if he was taken to the limit last night, but Bam Bam Bigelow was very effective.
00:24:02A different strategy that he employed against Goldberg last night, but in the end, that spear and Jack Hammer prevailed.
00:24:09And I tell you, the unaggressive attitude that Hammer showed earlier just came back to haunt him.
00:24:14Bam Bam's into the beast feast.
00:24:17Bigelow is fired up now.
00:24:20And the fans are still on him.
00:24:23We're gonna be giving you some information later on in this telecast how you can see the encore presentation of Super Brawl 9 and
00:24:31relive the most disheartening moments I would venture to say in the glorious career of the Nature Boy Ric Flair.
00:24:38And then later tonight, live, the face-to-face meeting with father and son.
00:24:45We never thought, ever, in our wildest dreams that it would ever come to that.
00:24:50And if we never thought that, imagine what's going through the mind of Ric Flair right now.
00:24:55We'll find out.
00:24:58It's hard for me to imagine.
00:25:00I mean, that's beyond me.
00:25:03I got four boys.
00:25:04I kicked two of them out now, and I'll kick the other two out.
00:25:06They don't listen.
00:25:07You kick two of your sons out of the house?
00:25:09They're old enough.
00:25:10Get a job.
00:25:11Well, you are a legend in every walk of life.
00:25:14And Bigelow back in and a headbutt.
00:25:17At home, it's my way or the highway.
00:25:20I've heard you say that before.
00:25:22Ray Chinlock here by Bigelow.
00:25:24As Mickie J checks in.
00:25:27Well, as we said, Ray Mysterio Jr. and Kevin Nash will battle tonight.
00:25:31Ray, who's a courageous young man, and now will be coming out here for many of you fans to see for the first time ever without his mask.
00:25:42Well, there's never been a question about his courage, but think of the mindset of Ray Mysterio Jr.
00:25:47Why would you put yourself in this situation against an athlete the size of Big Sexy in a one-on-one match?
00:25:53It's because there's no quit in Ray Jr.
00:25:55Well, they had Bigelow down with a nice move. Couldn't follow it up.
00:26:00See, Bigelow's not dumb in there.
00:26:02I mean, he just cinches down on him.
00:26:04He's got a gigantic chest and uses that weight in the back of Van Hammer's head.
00:26:07Falls down.
00:26:08That's all the way to Bigelow that Van Hammer's now got to squirm out of.
00:26:12That takes up a lot of energy.
00:26:14Just a little highlight kind of what went down last night.
00:26:18As we know, Bigelow attempted to drive Goldberg down to the mat.
00:26:23Pretty sound strategy when we talked about.
00:26:25He first of all went to the legs of Goldberg, and then he worked on the upper body
00:26:28with wrestling holds and wrestling moves.
00:26:31But you know what happened right there, Living Legend?
00:26:33The fans and their chanted Goldberg just took Bam Bam right out of his game plan.
00:26:38He completely walked away from the hole at that time.
00:26:41I don't think the fans realize how much energy that can transform into the athlete.
00:26:46Your adrenaline starts going.
00:26:48It's like if you see your kid under a car, you rush over and pull the car off,
00:26:51and you don't think about it.
00:26:53The adrenaline goes.
00:26:54It's amazing what the human body can do when you've got adrenaline and injector.
00:26:59You can see that Bigelow was unnerved by that chant from the crowd of Goldberg.
00:27:03He starts looking around.
00:27:04You don't know if Goldberg's coming out or not, so that throws him off.
00:27:08Here's a cover, one, two.
00:27:11I think it's pretty obvious that Goldberg would not come out here.
00:27:16He has nothing left to prove.
00:27:17As a matter of fact, Goldberg, even though he doesn't have the gold belt to us,
00:27:21has wrestling fans that announce him.
00:27:23Here's an inside credo.
00:27:24One, only a one count, has nothing left to prove.
00:27:27He's proved it all, and he still has just years and decades to go in this sport.
00:27:33Bigelow's slowing down a little bit.
00:27:38Hammer, he's got a chance to get up, but he's not getting up fast enough.
00:27:43Up later on, Bret the Hitman Hart, Booker T, the number one contender,
00:27:49will be decided to the US title, owned by Scott Hall,
00:27:53who won over Roddy Piper last night at Super Brawl 9.
00:27:58Snapmare takeover, and here comes Bigelow again.
00:28:01There he's using that weight advantage, using the power.
00:28:04Elbow drops on the top of the head, back of the head, and a cover by Bigelow.
00:28:09We got only a two.
00:28:10I tell you, that's what's tough about Bigelow is he knows how to use that weight.
00:28:14Look at his body, and everybody's built different,
00:28:17so everybody's physical, you know, body directs how you attack them.
00:28:22And Bigelow's weight is so much in the center, in the center of gravity,
00:28:26he's very hard to move, like trying to, you know, budge a boulder.
00:28:29That's what we noticed last night at Super Brawl in the match against Goldberg,
00:28:32how Bigelow played to his strengths.
00:28:37Hammer tries to get out of that with a pair of back elbows.
00:28:41And a knee to the midsection, and down goes Hammer again.
00:28:45Bam Bam Bigelow and Van Hammer on the top of the head.
00:28:58Now this weekend, on WCW Saturday night, a man walked out,
00:29:04who we had seen on this program before.
00:29:07He now goes by the name of Hack, and he says he is the king of hardcore,
00:29:12the king of extreme, something that Bigelow's taken exception to.
00:29:17Because Bigelow, one of those type of athletes that is impervious to pain.
00:29:21He loves the physical contact, and seems to even fire up when he gets hurt.
00:29:26I tell you, when I watch matches like with Bam Bam Bigelow and, what, Hack?
00:29:29Hack.
00:29:30I really appreciate my golf bag.
00:29:32Yes, you should.
00:29:33Holding over, Van Hammer goes Bigelow.
00:29:36And a cover, one and two.
00:29:38Boom!
00:29:39He just barely snuck out of there.
00:29:41He's Hammer, he's still got fighting him.
00:29:44Bigelow, look at, he's getting frustrated now.
00:29:48He doesn't know how to hold the guy down.
00:29:49Back up again, Bigelow, just non-stop offense here.
00:30:00Into Van Hammer, Hammer blocked it.
00:30:02Van Hammer, submission hold, a cobra clutch is on.
00:30:06And that brings the fans to their feet, but too much weight for Bigelow.
00:30:10Too much weight, but again, too much thickness around the neck and shoulders.
00:30:13Hard to get a hold like that on Bigelow.
00:30:15Went for the big fight.
00:30:17Bummer.
00:30:18Bummer, I hope he's limber.
00:30:20Uh-oh, walked right into the move.
00:30:23Up for the greetings from Asbury Park.
00:30:25That is all she wrote.
00:30:29Is that like greetings from Uncle Sam?
00:30:34That's the name of his move.
00:30:36Either way, you're gone.
00:30:37Greetings from Asbury Park and the Beast from the East rebounds.
00:30:42Starts another winning streak for himself here on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:30:49We have a lot going on.
00:30:50We'll be going back to Cal Berkeley for our Nitro party.
00:30:53And a reminder, this year's WCW Spring Breakout Jimmy sponsored by Cinnaburst.
00:30:58That's right, Cinnaburst with flavor crystals.
00:31:00Bite the burst.
00:31:01Also by 1-800-COLLECT.
00:31:03It's fast.
00:31:04It's easy.
00:31:05It's easy.
00:31:06It's easy.
00:31:07Bringing you Spring Breakout.
00:31:09And our Road Spring Breakout all the month of March.
00:31:12And tonight is the first night of the Road Spring Break.
00:31:18We caught up with two of the most notorious NWO members,
00:31:22Beth Bagwell and Big Papa Trump in San Francisco.
00:31:24As they were pumped up with the start of the road trip, as you know,
00:31:27they're on the road in style with the WCW Hummer Limousine and Nitro Party Bus
00:31:32on the Cross Country Chaos Tour.
00:31:34They'll be making their way to the ultimate Spring Break destination,
00:31:37Panama City Beach on Monday, March 22nd.
00:31:40Puff, you could get a lot of freaks on that bus.
00:31:56Especially with the two best buddies in the business.
00:31:59It's time to get hard, and it's time to get lean, McMahon.
00:32:02Do you want help around?
00:32:03Whoa, whoa, easy, easy.
00:32:04You okay?
00:32:05Thanks.
00:32:06Got everything on the trail?
00:32:08Just out of the damsel in distress, Scotty.
00:32:10Hey, hey, hey.
00:32:13Tough.
00:32:14Wow, look good.
00:32:16Hey.
00:32:17Hey, what's up?
00:32:18Thanks for helping me out earlier today.
00:32:20No problem.
00:32:21Why don't you guys come and see me later?
00:32:23Cool.
00:32:25Wow.
00:32:26Bawfer looks like we're doing double duty tonight.
00:32:28What do you mean by that?
00:32:29Workout during the day, and we're working out tonight.
00:32:32This is it.
00:32:33This is the place.
00:32:34All right.
00:32:35Let's go.
00:32:36You think Andy's here yet?
00:32:39Sure.
00:32:40I know it.
00:32:41Hello, boys.
00:32:44This can't be the right place.
00:32:46Let's get out of here.
00:32:47Hey, boys.
00:32:48You sure you're in the right place?
00:32:49I'm gonna kill him.
00:32:50No, Scotty, no.
00:32:51Hey, nice club.
00:32:53Nice hair.
00:32:54Scotty, Scotty, where's the hummer?
00:32:55Where's the hummer?
00:32:56That blonde just turned out for the hummer.
00:32:57A blonde.
00:32:58Race you to Raleigh.
00:32:59What does that mean?
00:33:00Come on, let's go.
00:33:01Hey, you fat slob.
00:33:08Instead of taking a picture of this punk, why don't you take a picture of a real man?
00:33:13Hey, cover.
00:33:14You see what I did, Paige?
00:33:15I look like Paige.
00:33:16Well, get ready, because you're next.
00:33:18Keep those stripes out, boys!
00:33:20He's got a big mouth.
00:33:21One day these days, I'm gonna shut it right down the street.
00:33:24Back to Super Brawl Nine.
00:33:31Last night, it was Scott Hall and Rowdy Rowdy Piper, the U.S. champ, going one-on-one to the strap.
00:33:37And it was quite a battle between these two athletes face-to-face.
00:33:40And, of course, as anticipated, a great match.
00:33:43Rowdy Piper using the atomic drop and many great moves to get the advantage.
00:33:47But in the end, Scott Hall, not only with a variety of offense, but with help from the Disco Inferno,
00:33:52as well as help from Big Sexy Kevin Nash, who came in near the end, as we'll see right here.
00:33:58He, Nash, and Disco helped Scott Hall defeat Roddy Piper to become the United States Heavyweight Champion.
00:34:06And thus, we're gonna have a number one contender back here.
00:34:09Red Heart, the former U.S. champ.
00:34:11Booker T and Mike Kinney talked to Mean Gene earlier.
00:34:15Booker T is excited, ready for this opportunity to be the top contender to the U.S. draft.
00:34:20Well, it was quite a night for the N.W.O. last evening at Super Brawl 9.
00:34:24Not only did Hollywood Hogan retain the world's heavyweight title,
00:34:27and ditto for Scott Steiner with the world's television championship,
00:34:30but the N.W.O. brought home the United States Championship as well,
00:34:34with Scott Hall's victory over Rowdy Roddy Piper.
00:34:38But you're right, tonight we will have a new number one contender for the new United States Heavyweight Champion, Scott Hall.
00:34:45Booker T says he's ready.
00:34:47Disco Inferno, you were first in line at 99.
00:34:49Bret Hart, you are next.
00:34:51As Bret Hart comes in and gives us a chance to let you know that WCW Monday Nitro on the 8th of March,
00:34:58it's Monday, March 8th, will originate from Worcester, Massachusetts in the Centrum Center.
00:35:02Tickets are available at the Box Office and Ticketmaster,
00:35:04and we're going to be in Canada, in Toronto, at the brand-new Air Canada Center on Monday, March 29th
00:35:11for Monday Nitro tickets at the Air Canada Center Box Office and Ticketmaster location.
00:35:16Also to come tonight, information not only on upcoming pay-per-view tickets,
00:35:21but Thunder tickets, and also some big events coming to Chicago, Milwaukee,
00:35:25and the Palace of Auburn Hills, the World Championship Wrestling Booker T.
00:35:29With a big fanfare, he knows Bret Hart all too well, they have battled before.
00:35:39Should be a great matchup here on WCW Monday Nitro.
00:35:43And the minutes ticked down to this face-to-face meeting that I'm going to mediate
00:35:49in the backstage area between Ric Flair and son David Flair,
00:35:58who not only stabbed his father in the back, but stabbed many WCW fans,
00:36:03many Horseman fans, and stabbed his entire family in the back last night as well.
00:36:09And the entire World Championship Wrestling Organization, Tony,
00:36:12you know, since David Flair arrived on the scene here a month or two back,
00:36:16everyone in WCW has adopted David Flair, and to have him do that last night at Super Bowl,
00:36:22you're right, it was a slap in the face to the entire organization, the Horseman,
00:36:26and especially his family.
00:36:29I tell you, in the good old days when men were men, children were seen and not heard,
00:36:35I think something young parents should listen to nowadays.
00:36:39Times have changed, though, living legend, and certainly Ric Flair was instrumental.
00:36:42Well, haven't changed for the good, have they?
00:36:44Well, maybe not. The Ric Flair instrumental and his son even getting into the ring,
00:36:47and I kept thinking last night after the program was over about the scene that we saw back during Sold Out.
00:36:55And when they had handcuffed Ric Flair to the middle rope and they had unmercifully beaten David Flair,
00:37:01you know, a lot of people were there, they being the NWO pack,
00:37:03and then you fast forward to last night.
00:37:05Boy, things happen quickly when you're with a beautiful woman.
00:37:10Now, what incredible mind control the NWO seems to have,
00:37:14and they seem to know how to press the right buttons.
00:37:18Well, they're very smart men, they know how to take advantage of people's weaknesses,
00:37:23and, of course, it's easy to fool a 19-year-old kid if they can fool, you know, veterans and adults.
00:37:30So David Flair was easy pickings for, you know, guys like Hollywood Hogan.
00:37:35And our cameras were back, as you saw moments ago,
00:37:39as David Flair and this lady were chatting and building him up,
00:37:44getting him prepared for this big encounter we're gonna have a little bit later on in this telecast.
00:37:52You know, in the good old days, I think Flair could slap him right across the mouth,
00:37:56but with today, it's child-beating, right?
00:38:01Do not discipline your children.
00:38:03Times have changed, living legends, all I can say.
00:38:07And in David Flair's mind, it's his time to shine.
00:38:12I think it's just certainly had his moment last night,
00:38:14a moment that we, I can tell you right now,
00:38:16and I've been a part of many WCW pay-per-views over the years,
00:38:20I can't remember a moment like that.
00:38:22And it was, I don't know if it's a tiny moment in David Flair's career or not,
00:38:25but it certainly is a moment that Ric Flair and his family will never forget.
00:38:31Bret Hart scooting on the outside trying to get away from Booker T.
00:38:35We hear nothing about a growing injury here from Bret Hart,
00:38:38but he is the master of dictating the pace of the wrestling match.
00:38:42And Tony, you talked earlier about the rivalry between Bret Hart and Booker T.
00:38:46Think back to Bash at the Beach when Bret Hart injured the knee of Booker T,
00:38:51sidelining him for several months, but as we heard earlier,
00:38:54Gene Okerlund conducting that interview with Booker T,
00:38:56going into this matchup, his knee is once again 100%.
00:39:00He's rededicating himself in 99.
00:39:03Bret Hart very successful in slowing the pace down.
00:39:09The old cliche in the sport, you'll hear announcers and you'll hear promoters say
00:39:13there's no timeout in pro wrestling.
00:39:14Well, in effect, Bret Hart got himself a timeout right there by working the count,
00:39:19walking around the ring and finally getting back in.
00:39:22I'll tell you exactly what Bret Hart's doing is he's not getting caught up in the game of Booker T.
00:39:26Booker T very fast, very hard to get a hand on him because of his great movement.
00:39:33So Bret Hart is sucking Booker T into his game plan.
00:39:36He wants to get Booker T on the mat and he doesn't want to chase him around like this.
00:39:40Booker T starts moving, Hart can be in trouble.
00:39:46Once again, down on the floor, slowing things down here.
00:39:49He's gonna keep going out there until he gets Booker T where he wants him,
00:39:53but Booker T runs after him.
00:39:54Booker T staying focused and in the same breath, Booker T very smartly staying in the ring here,
00:40:07keeping away from anything that Bret Hart can do.
00:40:10You talked about, Mike, what happened at Bash of the Beach.
00:40:13Bret Hart very notorious for injuring people.
00:40:16As a matter of fact, he's very proud of the list of injuries.
00:40:19We still have not seen Sting.
00:40:20We're still concerned about his whereabouts and where he has been
00:40:24and how he feels about all this that's been going down with the Wolfpack.
00:40:27And certainly Bret Hart has a big hand and I guess Sting not being around for the past couple of months.
00:40:33One of those questions that we'd love to have answered, the mindset of Sting,
00:40:37what he thinks about the current edition of the NWO Wolfpack
00:40:41and everything that they've been doing to turn the wrestling world upside down.
00:40:46Bret Hart got Booker T where he wanted him.
00:40:49Kept going out, snuck right in his game plan.
00:40:53And that's what Booker T was trying to be cautious of.
00:40:55Bret Hart is very, very good.
00:40:58With a rear chin lock after a snapmare takeover, keeps Booker T grounded and on the mat.
00:41:03He mentioned earlier that, and of course you heard Booker T talk to Mean Gene
00:41:07about his win over the Disco Inferno last night.
00:41:10Of course, Super Brawl 9, available last night on Pay-Per-View in the Encore presentation.
00:41:15Be sure to check your local listings with your cable or satellite provider.
00:41:20It's available tomorrow and Thursday on Viewer's Choice, The Dish Network,

00:41:31Be sure to check in, you wanna see it again, and I know many of you are just
00:41:35completely shocked by what went down at the end of the program.
00:41:38And it probably would be worth watching one more time.
00:41:40I know we've watched the replay today here at the arena early on.
00:41:45And you can rewind and fast forward that video tape.
00:41:49And every time you see what David Flair when he took the mask off, it's unbelievable.
00:41:54So the Encore presentation available tomorrow and this Thursday.
00:41:57Make sure you join us once again.
00:42:00And here comes Booker T with a great move into Bret Hart in the corner.
00:42:04He snapped Bret Hart's head right back.
00:42:06Got him again.
00:42:07Keep going, Booker.
00:42:09Daring him to get out.
00:42:11I don't know if that's a good move or not.
00:42:12So he goes in to get him and kicked him in the face.
00:42:15Watch out.
00:42:16Booker T finally gets on track in this matchup with Bret the Hitman Hart.
00:42:28Great intensity with the moves.
00:42:29Nailed him with the axe kick to the back of the head and gets the two count.
00:42:33Hey, Booker T had combinations there.
00:42:35It was a nice attempt.
00:42:36But again, Bret Hart is not an easy man to beat.
00:42:39Oh!
00:42:42Vertical baits right here.
00:42:43Hold on.
00:42:44Wait a minute.
00:42:45We have a disturbance in our satellite truck.
00:42:48I've been told by our executive producer, Craig Leathers, something's going on.
00:42:52We got a camera in the satellite truck.
00:42:53My name's JT.
00:42:54Hey, JT.
00:42:55I'm Disco.
00:42:56How you doing?
00:42:57Hey, Disco.
00:42:58Hey, you know, we got a truck just like this in Oakland.
00:42:59Yeah?
00:43:00Yeah.
00:43:01And what we're gonna need from you is to know what satellite, what the coordinates are,
00:43:04and how much juice you need because around 10, 50, 11 o'clock tonight, we're gonna pirate your signals.
00:43:08Pirate my signal.
00:43:09Yeah, we're gonna pirate your signal.
00:43:12You can't do that.
00:43:13What are you talking about we can't do that?
00:43:15My company will lose its FCC license.
00:43:17I'll be out of a job.
00:43:18FCC?
00:43:19Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:43:20FCC?
00:43:21The FCC.
00:43:22What are those letters right there, pal?
00:43:23NWO.
00:43:24NWO.
00:43:25What do you make?
00:43:26A couple hundred thousand dollars a year?
00:43:27500 a day.
00:43:28That's all?
00:43:29Here's the deal.
00:43:30We'll triple your money.
00:43:31We got another truck.
00:43:32What I need you to do is call Bob in Oakland, alright?
00:43:35I got the number right here and give him the satellite, the coordinates, and how much juice
00:43:39we need because we're gonna pirate this feed tonight around 10, 50, 11 o'clock, okay?
00:43:42Now can you do this?
00:43:44I guess I don't have much of a choice.
00:43:46You're right you don't have much of a choice because the NWO's got a heck of a dental plan
00:43:48and you're gonna need it if you don't do this.
00:43:50So what you need to do is call Bob right now and get this thing taken care of.
00:43:54I'm gonna be back about a quarter to 11 tonight and make sure everything went down right,
00:43:57okay?
00:43:58Okay.
00:43:59All right JT.
00:44:00Okay.
00:44:01All right.
00:44:02Been a great help.
00:44:03We've eavesdropped on some illegal dealings here is what we've done.
00:44:07One, two.
00:44:08Pirate the signal.
00:44:09Go ahead.
00:44:10Pirate the signal.
00:44:11They'll cart him off of jail in a moment.
00:44:17Somebody say something here.
00:44:20Am I the only one that saw that?
00:44:21Well, would you expect anything less from the New World Order?
00:44:24It's what we've come to expect from the NWO since their inception.
00:44:29I've been watching Booker T here and again against Bret Hart you cannot leave openings
00:44:34and Booker tried but Bret Hart has got his game plan, his strategy prevailing here.
00:44:40That's why Booker T's in trouble.
00:44:45In the middle turnbuckle goes Bret Hart on the back double axe handle blow.
00:44:50Pirating a signal.
00:44:53Pirating a signal.
00:44:54Well, fans, we are going to be bringing you here on WCW Monday Nitro Russian Lake Sweep.
00:44:59Can you pirate a signal?
00:45:01I don't know.
00:45:02What an idiot he is.
00:45:03One, two.
00:45:04Maybe he doesn't want now people to see Booker T wrestle because he lost to him last night.
00:45:11Up on top, Bret Hart again.
00:45:13We've got him driving him an elbow.
00:45:18Bret Hart's almost methodical in his attack right here.
00:45:21That's really nonchalant though and Booker T's got great endurance.
00:45:24You're not going to beat him like that.
00:45:26Bret Hart who always talks about excellence of execution, didn't execute that pinfall very well.
00:45:33The cover.
00:45:34He knows how to do it.
00:45:35That was just plain cockiness.
00:45:36He's an idiot.
00:45:39Chasing him down on the floor.
00:45:44Here comes Bret Hart.
00:45:45Remember fans, the winner, the number one contender to the United States Heavyweight Championship.
00:45:52One that Bret Hart owned all the way up until Buffalo a few weeks ago.
00:45:57And Roddy Piper came in.
00:46:01And Ric Flair set the table for forcing Bret Hart to put the belt on the line.
00:46:07He just put the chair in Booker T's stomach.
00:46:12Headbutt.
00:46:15And again.
00:46:19Bret Hart will roll him on the inside.
00:46:21You'll notice that Bret Hart focusing his attack on the lower back of Booker T.
00:46:28I think it's obvious in Bret Hart's mind that he needs to wear down that area of Booker T to set him up for the sharpshooter.
00:46:34That definitely helped, but I don't know what Bret Hart's talking to the referee for.
00:46:41I mean, Booker T's starting to get up and I hope that endurance kicks in.
00:46:46There's a pickup and a backbreaker and a cover and easily Booker T gets up and out of the way.
00:47:01Certainly fans, as you know, on a personal level that my involvement with the Flair family has been extensive.
00:47:08A close friend of the family.
00:47:10So my involvement later on tonight to mediate or to try to, I don't know if I'm gonna be able to bring father and son together or what's gonna happen.
00:47:17It's certainly one that I'm looking forward to with mixed emotions, very apprehensive about.
00:47:22I've been told here that I'm gonna need to go to the back, Mike and Larry in just a few moments, even probably before this match ends to kind of a lighting and a sound check to wire up and get ready for that interview a little bit later on in this telecast.
00:47:37So I'm gonna have to step out here in a few moments, so please bear with us.
00:47:41Take a hickory stick with you and give it to the nature boy.
00:47:45Now we expect such a volatile situation between those two.
00:47:48Tony, I think it's great that you're gonna be there as the voice of reason to mediate and to moderate between the father and son.
00:47:54I don't know if there's gonna be any voice of reason.
00:47:56I mean, if you relive what happened last night, there's no reason at all there.
00:48:01And we get a mandatory 10 count from the referee here and up, Red Hart.
00:48:08And Rick's in the eyes here of Stevie Ray.
00:48:11Booker T.
00:48:12Booker T.
00:48:14Okay, I've been told I've gotta step out, guys.
00:48:17So I'll be back next segment, okay?
00:48:20Come back next week.
00:48:22Check that out, make sure that the lighting and audio is proper for that interview later this evening between Ric Flair and David Flair.
00:48:30.
00:48:37Full leg extension by Bret the Hitman Hart dropping down across the throat of Booker T.
00:48:42Very methodical in his attack, and the offense against Booker T, but yet so effective as Bret the Hitman Hart.
00:48:50He's very effective because in that methodical attack there's very little room to make a mistake.
00:48:55And that's what Bret Hart wants to avoid when he's got Booker T in trouble.
00:48:59You got the man in trouble, don't make a mistake now.
00:49:04The Hitman in the driver's seat, you see referee Charles Robinson,
00:49:07right in the face of Booker T, wants to see if Booker wants to continue in this match.
00:49:12But you know that Booker T with what's at stake here, Booker T,
00:49:15there's no quitting him, close to the ropes this time.
00:49:18That's the advantage for Booker T as Bret the Hitman Hart attempts to maneuver Booker T.
00:49:22Pull him over.
00:49:23With Rola, gets one, gets two.
00:49:25Only two that time.
00:49:28That was close, Booker T reached in, used the hair, but
00:49:31the referee didn't see it, that means it's legal.
00:49:33Hart with the boot into the midsection of Booker T,
00:49:40sent him reeling into the ropes.
00:49:41And now,
00:49:44right through the eyes across the top steel cable.
00:49:46Here comes all the tricks of the trade, now Bret Hart knows them all,
00:49:51he'll pull them out one by one.
00:49:53Notice he's not giving Booker T a break.
00:49:56Very smart man inside that ring.
00:49:58Booker T swinging blindly, Bret Hart takes advantage.
00:50:02Picks him up, mid-ring scoop and a slam.
00:50:05And again, Hart going about his business, sets up the leg, gonna look for the figure four here.
00:50:12But he's got it on!
00:50:14Again, great ring positioning for that figure four.
00:50:17You see that Booker T is out in the middle of the ring, while Bret Hart applies the pressure to the leg and knee.
00:50:23That's not where Booker T wants to be.
00:50:28He's gonna start moving towards that rope.
00:50:30Shoulders are down and a two count on Booker T for referee Charles Robinson.
00:50:34Again, checking to see if he's gonna tap out, if he's going to submit.
00:50:40He's not moving towards the rope.
00:50:43He asks the crowd for support.
00:50:46And he gets it from this great crowd on hand in Sacramento.
00:50:49Booker T trying to mount the comeback, trying to get the adrenaline rush,
00:50:53trying to roll over at least, and take the advantage out of this figure four.
00:50:57But Bret Hart rolls him back into position.
00:50:59And again, another two count on the shoulders.
00:51:01Hey, start backing up towards the rope!
00:51:08Hart again, applying the pressure to the knee of Booker T.
00:51:11He's got it turned!
00:51:13Oh, and Bret Hart is so fortunate to be able to make the ropes get the safety of the rope break.
00:51:18Well, he knew which way he was turning.
00:51:20He knew the ropes was over there.
00:51:22Bret Hart was in good position, but they're both getting up slow.
00:51:26I tell you, this is the point where endurance starts kicking in.
00:51:29See who's got it.
00:51:31Bret Hart knows that Booker T has suffered from leg and knee injuries
00:51:35over the course of the past six or eight months.
00:51:37And he's trying to take advantage of that.
00:51:39Even though Booker T told us going into this match that that knee was back at 100%.
00:51:43Blatant choke hold by Bret Hart right in front of the official.
00:51:50Hart drives an elbow to the back of the head.
00:51:54And Booker T had one or two little flurries of offense in this match,
00:51:58but it's primarily been dominated by flying forearm smash.
00:52:01Can Booker T regroup at this point?
00:52:03Hey, that was a good crank.
00:52:07I saw Bret Hart's head snap back and look at him.
00:52:11He's dazed, and Booker's getting up.
00:52:13Boot to the midsection.
00:52:15Spinning kick just leveled the Hitman.
00:52:19See what he's got, look, here's where all the training comes in and counts.
00:52:27This is the most, and this is what makes the suffering worth it, Mike, right here.
00:52:31Booker T takes him up, drops him down with the side slam.
00:52:35I thought he was gonna follow up with a pinfall.
00:52:39Instead, he break dances to his feet.
00:52:41Booker T is up, and the fans in Sacramento say, it's time to raise the roof.
00:52:49He's going to the roof.
00:52:51High risk move on the way.
00:52:53Booker T mounts the top rope, but Hart cuts him off at the pass.
00:52:57And now, Bret Hart up to the middle rope.
00:53:00Gonna try and bring Booker T back into the ring.
00:53:03Bret Hart going up to the top.
00:53:07It's a long way down from here.
00:53:09Superplex off the top by the Hitman.
00:53:12But the concussion of the blow to the back of the head of Bret Hart does not enable him to make the attempt at a pin on Booker T.
00:53:19Both men are down.
00:53:20Referee Robinson puts in the count.
00:53:22They may both be out.
00:53:25They're up to seven.
00:53:31Now seven.
00:53:33Now at eight.
00:53:35And Hart's up.
00:53:37First man on his feet is Bret Hart.
00:53:39Remember, the winner of this match will go on to face Scott Hall for the United States Heavyweight Championship.
00:53:45And Bret Hart, is he gonna be able to turn him over?
00:53:49There it is!
00:53:50Sharpshooter applied.
00:53:51Booker T gonna try and refill the ropes, and he made the ropes.
00:53:53He's got it!
00:53:54He's not breaking it!
00:53:58Break it down three!
00:54:00He's up to three!
00:54:02Four!
00:54:03This is a cop out if he doesn't break it.
00:54:04Finally broke it at four and a half.
00:54:06Bret Hart using all of the five seconds and then drops down with his weight, springing off the bottom rope.
00:54:14And driving that weight right onto the lower back of Booker T.
00:54:18I tell you the endurance Booker T has.
00:54:22Wait a minute, he's got it back!
00:54:24Too quick!
00:54:25Sunset flip attempt by Hart.
00:54:26He's on it!
00:54:27Reversal, roll up two!
00:54:28We have a number one contender, Mike!
00:54:32How about that!
00:54:34Booker T, an amazing recovery!
00:54:36Reversing the sunset flip into a roll up!
00:54:38And Booker T knocks off Bret the Hitman Hart!
00:54:42And Booker T is the number one contender for the US title!
00:54:46You get a look on Bret Hart's face, he still doesn't believe it!
00:54:50Something he didn't expect off of a simple sunset flip to reverse.
00:54:54He grabbed those ankles and Bret Hart, he still doesn't know what happened!
00:55:00We're going up now!
00:55:011999!
00:55:03Next in line for Booker T, Scott Hall in the US belt, back with more from Sacramento!
00:55:09We're going to take you back in just a few moments to what went down once again.
00:55:38Last night at Super Brawl 9 in Oakland, California, in the Oakland Coliseum.
00:55:43And let's go to the stills, the pictures from WCW Magazine.
00:55:47There was the barber chair ready to go at the NWO loss.
00:55:51And the Scott Hall show for Lex Luger, and his arm slammed in the door on Thursday night by Ray Mysterio Jr.
00:55:57He and Conan come to the ring, and Ray Jr. fought for his heritage as never before.
00:56:02He gave it his all against both men.
00:56:04Of course, what a superb tag team partner in Conan he had, but it was just too much Big Man.
00:56:10Conan and Ray Jr. fought the wrath of this Big Man Big Sexy.
00:56:15Conan sent Ray Jr. into Big Sexy and knocked him out!
00:56:20But with the referee's back turned, a kick in the back of the head, Scott Hall pulled Big Sexy on with a one, two, three, and there is the look.
00:56:27First time ever, the face of Ray Mysterio Jr. unmasked.
00:56:31He can take away his mask Mike today, and as he said, well put Mike, he can't take away his heart, his determination.
00:56:39We're gonna see Ray out here against Big Sexy later on tonight.
00:56:43And he will, I don't know if it's payback, revenge, but he will go in again ill-advised against a guy like Kevin Nash, but he'll go after Mike later on.
00:56:55The rare situation that Ray Mysterio Jr. is in, Tony, coming off that, what has to be to him and his family as well, a heartbreaking loss.
00:57:03As much as the mask has meant to Ray Mysterio Jr., his uncle that wrestled with that mask throughout the years, and I think it's going to be a real key to see how he's able to bounce back.
00:57:13But you talk about a tall order for Ray Jr., but he gets the tallest order, Big Sexy Kevin Nash, this evening on Nitro.
00:57:20Well, bouncing back is one thing, but getting bounced all over the arena is another.
00:57:25I mean, Ray, pound for pound is great, but there is a big, big, too big a difference here, I think.
00:57:33And we're not talking about a cruiserweight in Kevin Nash, that's for sure.
00:57:37And we've seen Ray Jr. rule the roost of the WCW cruiserweights on three occasions as the world's cruiserweight champion, but he's got to face Big Sexy later tonight.
00:57:47Just going for now, Mr. Pirate the Signal is in the ring, and his opponent donning his brand-new attire that he purchased, thanks to Sonny Ono from Glacier.
00:57:57I thought that looked familiar.
00:57:59It's Kaz Hayashi, and on the Thunder recently, we saw the fire sale by Glacier, where Kaz Hayashi got the suit and the look, and the cat got the music, and he got the lasers and the snow machine.
00:58:15That Sonny Ono's a wheeler-dealer, isn't he?
00:58:17Yeah, I'm sure he made a pretty good buck.
00:58:19Like a used car salesman, almost, the way he was back there selling off parts of Glacier's outfit.
00:58:24I need a car for one of the kids I kicked out.
00:58:27What, are you supporting him?
00:58:29Well, I slipped a few, but motivation, they need motivation.
00:58:32You kick him out, now you're providing transportation.
00:58:35You're a softie.
00:58:37I'm not that softie.
00:58:38Oh, yeah, you are.
00:58:39We got your number now.
00:58:40Kick out a kid and buy him a car.
00:58:42It's not going to be a good car.
00:58:44Yeah, okay.
00:58:46The Disco Inferno talking to David Penzer.
00:58:49Okay, we've seen enough of that.
00:58:51What's going on here?
00:58:52He's told Penzer to say something.
00:58:53I knew they want to pirate Penzer.
00:58:54Ladies and gentlemen, because this match involves international competition,
00:58:59the Disco Inferno would like you to please rise so he may sing the national anthem.
00:59:06I'll be back in ten minutes.
00:59:11Say can you see, by the dark, early light, what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming.
00:59:25To the stripes and bright stars.
00:59:32Oh, yes.
00:59:34Yeah.
00:59:35The off button works in the truck.
00:59:37They pirated his mic.
00:59:39Yeah, that just goes to infuriate the Disco Inferno, who even before the opening bell goes to the attack on Kaz Hayashi.
00:59:50I don't know what to say.
00:59:51Go ahead.
00:59:52Look at me, Larry.
00:59:53I don't know what to say about him singing the national anthem, but there's an atomic drop.
00:59:56Let's put it this way.
00:59:57Better him than you.
00:59:58Oh, he got Hayashi there.
00:59:59Hey, what do you mean?
01:00:00I've sung the national anthem before, I can do it again.
01:00:03And you, Mr. Softbeak, there's a two count.
01:00:06You have sung the national anthem before in front of a crowd or in the shower?
01:00:11Head first to the turnbuck, I'm not gonna answer you.
01:00:14And a foot to the midsection.
01:00:16Let him out!
01:00:17And again, that one to the knee.
01:00:19And watch out, through the ropes all the way to the floor on the other side.
01:00:24Kaz Hayashi, strip away that glacier stuff.
01:00:28Still Kaz, he's still a top cruiserweight.
01:00:31And he's also very, very intense, and you can see it in his face and his demeanor.
01:00:38Speaking of intense, guys, there is an air of intensity, of electricity.
01:00:45I don't know if that's the proper word or not, but back in that room that we have
01:00:50prepared for Ric Flair and his son David, and the interview or the talk that they
01:00:55will have.
01:00:56It's an eerie feeling back there.
01:00:58And you can feel it with the crew.
01:01:00You can feel it with the director back there.
01:01:02It's just gonna be a very difficult place to be later on in this telecast.
01:01:06But we will be back there to mediate Ric Flair and his son face-to-face tonight.
01:01:12It is a very tense situation backstage this evening at Nitro in Sacramento.
01:01:18And I think primarily because of that.
01:01:20No one really knows what to expect with this meeting between father and son.
01:01:24I tell ya, I never was afraid to put on anybody else's shoes and stand in their place.
01:01:29But tonight, I wouldn't wear Flair's shoes for anybody.
01:01:33Whoa!
01:01:34Here's Hayashi!
01:01:35Suicide dive!
01:01:36Nicely done!
01:01:37Connected and landed on his feet!
01:01:38And puts the Disco Inferno down!
01:01:39Boy, a big win moments ago by Booker T. One of his bigots, I would say, here on WCW Monday
01:01:52Nitro against Bret Hart.
01:01:53What an accomplishment!
01:01:54Yes it was!
01:01:55Not just to knock off Bret the Hitman Hart because, you know, that's saying an awful lot
01:01:58in and of itself, but to move into that number one contender's position to the United States title,
01:02:03now worn by Scott Hall.
01:02:07As Hayashi measures up the Disco Inferno to knock him down once again!
01:02:13Smithmare takeover.
01:02:14Hayashi hits the Disco in the back between the shoulder blades that time.
01:02:20I had to see him get kicked all over.
01:02:23You and me both.
01:02:24Also, fans tonight, our Nitro Girls Swimsuit Exposé, the world premiere.
01:02:30Oh, that's the tape that you were looking at earlier today.
01:02:35You know, behind closed doors.
01:02:36Well, I can't say.
01:02:38Oh, she with a drop kick.
01:02:39And again, I've got to preview some of the things we see so I know what to pitch to.
01:02:43You do understand that, don't you?
01:02:45And watch out.
01:02:46I telegraphed that one.
01:02:48They tell you what to pitch to?
01:02:50And watch out, running over.
01:02:54Hayashi.
01:02:55Go ahead, Larry.
01:02:56Fell on the back of his head and that looked nasty.
01:02:59What's this all about?
01:03:00He sings, he struts, he dances.
01:03:02But he doesn't wrestle.
01:03:03He makes us sick.
01:03:04It's the Disco Inferno.
01:03:06And he covered.
01:03:08One, two, no.
01:03:11Couldn't keep him down.
01:03:12I think Disco's got a false sense of security.
01:03:17I mean, he thinks he's Wolfpack, right?
01:03:20Well, it's official.
01:03:22They confirmed it.
01:03:23Yeah, they tell him that.
01:03:24And the next thing you know, he's trying to bribe satellite pirates or whatever.
01:03:28But to me, he's someone that carries bags.
01:03:31It's a false sense of security that could catch up and bite Disco.
01:03:36Here's a cover, and Billy Silverman down to make the count.
01:03:39Only a two that time, and Kasayashi hanging in there, staying with it.
01:03:43Here in this matchup on WCW Nitro, we're in Sacramento, California.
01:03:48Next week, we talk about spring breakout and the road to spring breakout starting tonight at Cal Berkeley.
01:03:54Next week, we're gonna be on the campus of UNC.
01:03:58The Dean-Dong.
01:03:59The Dean-Dong.
01:04:00The Dean-Dong.
01:04:01Chapel Hill.
01:04:02The Dean-Dong.
01:04:03The Dean-Dong.
01:04:04Dean Smith, legendary coach.
01:04:05He wouldn't know.
01:04:06Over the top.
01:04:07And Disco Inferno.
01:04:09Whoops.
01:04:10Ryan, no sir.
01:04:12Kasayashi, one, two.
01:04:13He almost pinned him that time.
01:04:15That was a very good press by Hayashi.
01:04:17Very good pin combination.
01:04:18But Disco comes out of it.
01:04:20And the Disco Inferno picks him up.
01:04:23And a vertical suplex to boot.
01:04:32Still stays on Hayashi now.
01:04:35We'll send him into the ropes and up.
01:04:38Hayashi trying to hang on here.
01:04:41In the throat, he caught him.
01:04:43Big wheel kick, which was on target.
01:04:45Almost knocked him for a flip that time.
01:04:47Yeah, he had a nice snap on it.
01:04:49Boy, he keeps running in.
01:04:51He does one move, but he doesn't follow up quick enough
01:04:53on those combinations.
01:04:55The Disco Inferno into the gut will pick up Hayashi.
01:04:59And Hayashi turned it against him.
01:05:02Smashed his Disco little face right in the mat.
01:05:05What a spectacular counter move that was.
01:05:08By Hayashi.
01:05:09Great sense of balance and ring presence that time.
01:05:12And follows it up with a backbreaker.
01:05:14Hayashi walks across the man to go to the ropes.
01:05:17To go to the turnbuckles here.
01:05:19Go.
01:05:20Now he's up to the top.
01:05:22The young Japanese star.
01:05:24Missed the Disco.
01:05:26Backsplash.
01:05:27Missed the senton off the top rope.
01:05:29There's the opening.
01:05:30The Disco wanted spinning neckbreaker.
01:05:32Disco Inferno with his ball.
01:05:36Drives him down.
01:05:38That's it.
01:05:39The opening was there.
01:05:41The Disco Inferno with the press.
01:05:43And what's the win here on Mike Trump?
01:05:45Hey, the price for missing a high risk maneuver is very high.
01:05:56Probably a million or two yen over in Japan.
01:05:59Hayashi got the bill.
01:06:02The Disco inmate.
01:06:03Mr.
01:06:04연.
01:06:05The Disco inmate.
01:06:06The Disco inmate.
01:06:07Don't forget.
01:06:08Still to come in this broadcast tonight.
01:06:11Ladies and gentlemen.
01:06:12Rick Flair and David Flair.
01:06:13Face to face.
01:06:14Live on TNT.
01:06:15Big Scott.
01:06:16How you doing, brother?
01:06:17How's the tour?
01:06:18Super.
01:06:19How's the tour?
01:06:20Super.
01:06:21How's your health?
01:06:22Perfect.
01:06:23I heard you kick some serious butt as usual.
01:06:24You know, brother.
01:06:25Listen, man.
01:06:26On the down low between me and you, Hollywood put me in charge of the black and white while
01:06:30you're gone.
01:06:31Okay?
01:06:32That's between me and you.
01:06:33And I got a gut feeling, okay, he's gonna put me in charge of the Wolfpack, too, eventually.
01:06:37Well, the reason I'm telling you this is I'm taking you right to the top of it.
01:06:42Hollywood said you're the man.
01:06:43Well, yes.
01:06:44Yes.
01:06:45You're the man.
01:06:46I'm in charge of the black and white from now, but I'm going up to the Wolfpack eventually.
01:06:48I'm sure.
01:06:49He hasn't said that, but I know what's going on.
01:06:50All right.
01:06:51I'm going to kick some butt, kick some names, make a lot of changes.
01:06:54I'm going to need your help, brother.
01:06:56So you're the man?
01:06:57Yes.
01:06:58Why do you keep saying that?
01:06:59I don't know.
01:07:00That's good, brother.
01:07:01You're the man.
01:07:02You're the man.
01:07:03Come on.
01:07:04I'm definitely the man.
01:07:05All right?
01:07:06Let's go.
01:07:07I'm taking you with me.
01:07:08You got it.
01:07:09All right.
01:07:10Let's go talk to some of the other guys.
