What an incredible evening this is going to be.

A true heavyweight card plus a cavalcade of wrestling legends.

Speaking of the legends reunion, the wrestling world is a buzz as to whether the original

four horsemen will come together at Slamberie.

The original four horsemen, Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Ole Anderson, and Tully Blanchard

were a dominating force in the world of wrestling for many years.

Later, Barry Windham joined this alliance.

The bond between the horsemen has always been tight, however.

Upon Ric Flair's return to world championship wrestling, things have changed.

At Super Brawl 3, Barry Wyndham faced the great Luthor with a coveted NWA title.

The competition was fierce.

In the end, Barry Wyndham emerged victorious to become the new NWA world champion.

Long time friend Rick flair delivered the belt to crown the champion. However, his reception was a bit chilly

Since that time Wyndham has refused to comment about Rick flair later

Arne Anderson had this to say in response

You see Barry Wyndham, I was sitting at home the night you won the NWA title and I felt

good for you because that's something that a man achieves once in a lifetime, sometimes

never.

And I felt good for you when Rick Flair rolled in that ring to congratulate you, I felt good

for him because I know what he was feeling.

You see, you were one of the horsemen.

One of the elite that was something that will live and end for me.

it's no longer a myth though, Wyndham. You see, you snub flair every chance you get. Maybe you even

snub the full horseman. But the one thing at this point in time, you're not going to be able to snub

is Arne Anderson. You see, I've been reborn, Wyndham. New attitudes. I'm going to make,

still make some people miserable, but this time it's going to be people that deserve it, namely you.

To understand one thing, I know you're better than anybody else and maybe you do me too.

But in some arena across this country, I'm going to wrestle you for something I've never

had a chance in the history of my career to wrestle for, that's the NWA title.

The fact that you're the holder just makes you the victim.

Finally the champion Barry Windham had something to say

Now the match is set.

Arne Anderson will get a shot at the NWA title

against the champion Barry Wyndham at Slambury 93

on May 23rd, and remember,

You can see all of this excitement live as it happens.

Contact this cable company now. Make your arrangements for pay-per-view.

Let's go back to Michael Hayes outside the Omni.

Michael, you know there's been a lot of controversy amongst the ranks of the

horsemen.

Any speculation or signs as to whether the original horseman will

reunite at Slambury 93?

Well, Gordon, first things first.

You gotta understand the impact of such a monumental event.

It'd be like the 69 Mets getting back together,

the Beatles or the Eagles,

but it's getting hot out here and I have yet

to see any signs of the four horsemen.

And I've been looking all around, but I'm not gonna.

Luna, Dose, Trace, Quatro Bingo, baby.

Ha ha ha, I don't let nut slip by me.

I gotta get back to you, Gordon.

I'm gonna investigate this further,

but I think I've caught on to something.

Ha ha.

Thanks, Michael. Later.

When we return, we'll look at a match build as David versus Goliath. Don't go away.

The champion that fears no man and feels no pain is the master of delivering pain every time he steps into the ring.

Recently, Cactus Jack fell victim to the devastating power of Big Van Vader.

The challenger, Davey Boy Smith, has this message for Big Van Vader the Champion.

You know Big Van Vader, I heard what he did to Cactus Jack, I talked to him last night

on the telephone and he's in really bad shape.

You've been hurting a lot of rest in the WCW, but come Slamber E May 23rd, I've promised

Cactus Jack that I'm gonna hurt you bad, I'm gonna inflict pain on you, Van Vader,

like you've never had before, come May 23rd, you and the WCW World Heavyweight Championship

belt, he's gonna be mine at Slamber E May 23rd.

And that evoked this reaction from the champion Big Van Vader.

I will keep David Boyd, Snappery 93,

get ready to go to war,

because that's exactly what you're going to get,

Obviously, Van Vader, with the help of former champion

in legend Harley Race, is ready for a fight.

Don't they realize we got acting and modeling careers after this? They don't play football in a cage

They don't play baseball in a cage. So why should we the Hollywood Blondes have to wrestle in a cage?

Steamboat and Douglas in the beginning. You just wanted the belt now. It's quite apparent you want our careers

reunion and as we honor the legends of the past new history will be made as the heroes of the

present battle for championship gold and personal glory world championship wrestling presents

Tony, electricity has filled this omni.

I feel like a little kid myself.

I'm looking at men that were my inspiration.

When I was a kid, I'm looking at men like the Crusher,

who instilled terror in my heart when I was 10 years old.

I'll tell you what I discovered the last two days with these guys,

and that is this.

Time fears only the pyramids

and the legends of professional wrestling.

by the world heavyweight title we saw the collision yesterday big van vader going

up against the British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith this is the big night for Davey

Boy Smith all I can say is I hope he brought his kryptonite fans we are

having a tremendous event Jesse the body Ventura is in the hospital he is not

here tonight he is recuperating he'll be back with us very soon here world

championship wrestling but let's kick things off as we told you standing by is

doing some of the ledges that are here tonight.

I'll have that opportunity as well.

Certainly we have to address Sting.

We found out yesterday that Scott Flash Norton,

the man that came to WCW and said he wanted respect.

Well, he got more than respect.

He got the attention of a man they call the prisoner.

And tonight, right here on Pay Per View,

it will be Sting taking on the prisoner.

Obviously, we've had a little bit of a technical difficulty here.

We haven't had a chance to talk to Sting, Missy.

I know that he's got a lot of things on his mind.

Certainly, this changes his plans for the evening.

It sure does.

I mean, you know, he was going to wrestle someone else,

and he had it in his mind.

He wanted to wrestle someone else.

But, you know, he's got to prepare now for someone

we only know as the prisoner.

And, of course, we got the World Heavyweight Title on the line.

We've been talking about it.

Big Van Vader, the man who is...

Become famous or infamous if you will for injuring his opponents.

Hey, we got the power back up.

Of course, Cactus Jack, his most recent victim.

But there's guys like Joe Thurman, Ron Simmons,

a former heavyweight champion of the world.

But, hey, Davey Boy Smith said this is it, end of the line.

Well, that's right. I think Davey Boy Smith, I mean,

what I saw last week on WCW when he picked up Big Van Bader,

took him clear across the ring and just threw him down.

I think Big Van Bader is going to go for a match tonight that might be a turning point.

What about the cage match, the World Tag Team Titles on the line, Ricky the Dragon, Steve

Boat, Shane Douglas, stepping into the ring with Pillman and Austin, the Hollywood Blondes.

I know that you've got a lot in common with the Hollywood Blondes.

Well, I just think they are just so sexy and just, I think the Hollywood Blondes are just

absolutely the best team of the 90s.

Hollywood chick to like kind of walk out there and hang out there with the easy

missy easy settle down missy settle down and of course we've got the great

legends matches coming up we know of course that it's going to be Dory

funk junior representing the NWA stepping into the ring with the former

heavyweight champion of the world from the AWA Nick Buckwinkle

Tremendous matchup. You've got legend's action. We'll have the interviews, but right now let's get down to the ring Larry Zavisco and Tony Shavani

Ladies and gentlemen, the first contest of Slamberay 93 Tag Team Action set for one fall with a 20-minute time limit.

Introducing team number one, first from Huntsville, Alabama, weighing 233 pounds.

Beautiful Bobby!

His Tag Team partner from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, 224 pounds.

making their way to the ring as we are underway with action here at Slammary 93 live on pay-per-view

Tony Shimani, the legendary Zubisco, a veteran duo right here as we go back to Gary Coppett

and the introduction of their opponents.

And ladies and gentlemen, their opponents, first from Denver, Colorado,

weighing 231 pounds to Cole Scorpio.

His tag team partner, WTW Rooksy of the Year.

Ladies and gentlemen, Marcus Alexander Buckwell.

This is a mega break time.

And I would think, really, based on

we've got two veterans in the quarter,

and beautiful Bobby and Chris Benoit.

Bobby is really the senior member of this team.

But really, as far as teams are concerned, Larry.

The team that's been together the longest has to be too cold and baggy even though they're the youngest team age-wise

Yeah, but you can't beat experience just talk to any one of these legends here Tony. They'll tell you

Bobby eating textbook tag team expert basically made a career on tag team

So the knowledge he can transfer to Benoit and incorporate is immeasurable

Ben why in there with two cold shorter block

over the top

Parkway. Look at that.

tremendous win for two called Scorpio. One of the greatest matches that we've

ever had in WCW on paper view. Let's say this is an excellent match here, but

these guys have to go right there. I was going to say compete with the experience.

They're going to have to use all their attributes, all their speed.

Ho! Ben White ducks.

They have to take their game plan to Benoit and beautiful Bobby.

They have to make these guys wrestle their style, their way.

That's easy said, hard to do, because like I said, Bobby, he's tag team perfect in there.

Benoit the Canadian who has had a tremendous amount of success in Japan

Join a lot of success here in World Championship wrestling as well and here is your your veteran

Who has had his problems as of late with one Arne Anderson as well

He and Arne Anderson were tremendous tag team Arne Anderson is a problem

You you have a lot of problem with you might know there's up on top

Full arm dragon twist Larry of course joins us each and every Sunday on the main event on TV

It's good to have you with us

Jesse is back in the hospital bed in Minnesota watching this

No better him than me

Bobby down on one knee now back up Nick Patrick the referee assigned tremendous crowd on hand here at the army

It's been a great weekend for all of us. We'll talk more about that

Then what caught Bagwell

Well, what happened? I think Nick Patrick is going to allow the match to continue. That was inadvertent

They back body drop a track kick from Bagwell and now once again

On the outside been one beautiful Bobby you run up a good point there Nick Patrick could have stopped this match and disqualify that time

Well, I don't know if he back dropped him over or if he was trying to break away. That's the fine point there

I tell you too cold Scorpio and Bagwell so far the game plan is working fine

Bagwell and too cold after the time limit draw they had against the Hollywood blinds are looking at another shot at the world tag team

Champions, of course after this night is over

We could have steamboat and and Shane Douglas as the new world tag team champions as they will erect a cage

Around the ring here with a world tag title not only for the tag title

But to finally settle the differences in the grudges between those two teams

That was interesting in the in the back dressing room area is there Tony

I don't know if you've noticed that I did how these young guys like Bagwell

I noticed Scorpio a few other guys talking to Lou says talking to Dory from talking about Winkle

Trying to gain every ounce of knowledge and wisdom they can because believe me there is centuries of wisdom here

into the ropes a

Clothing four on that time and what's the gap of the third time in this match?

Kind of a misdirection play, the referee's looking the other way, somebody hits the ropes and Benoit and beautiful Bobby go to work.

One of the most important aspects of tag team is knowing your ring positioning.

That's what Eaton and Benoit are masters of here.

You know, you talk about the great legends the youngsters were talking to earlier.

There's some great legendary tag teams in the back as well.

Greg Ganya, Jim Brunzel.

The High Flyers.

Absolutely, they're AWA Tag Team Champions.

Superfly Jimmy Snook is here.

He and Paul Orndorf were NWA World Tag Team Champions.

Blackjack Mulligan and Dick Murlock were NWA World Tag Team Champions.

So some legendary teams here as well.

And Bobby back in now.

Plants, Bagwell.

Eaton's going for it.

He's going to try to end it right here.

With the knee it will have been a disqualification, but he got him right on the chest right around the sternum area

I believe and now been lying

First been why

Well, he is a tremendous all-around athlete and also a man who

As he slugs away, I was going to call him a great scientific wrestler as well, but he's brawling right now.

Well, he's the great scientific wrestler. He knows all the moves, but he can brawl.

Up on top.

He's like a human dynamo.

It's a tremendous amount of energy.

He goes 100% in each and every match.

And he feels it's over. Maybe waits too much time there.

Yeah.

That bagwell got out.

And Bobby back in once again.

Robby has to be considered in many standards a legend in WCW

member of the Midnight Express

Well, and of course he and Arne Anderson. Here's a cover one

Where world tag team champions and and I know that gets you hot under the collar Larry because you were right involved in that situation with them

But here's another legendary tag team performer

And I think it's a tribute to Bobby that he has been so successful with many different partners the latest being been one look at this

Once again, the referee

and then what I said he's a he's a tag team master he's the ring general there

in terms of him and then so it's gonna be a smooth game plan whatever Bobby

eating you know the size of strategy should be that's what Ben was gonna go

with beautiful Bobby will be right about it believe me one of these strong

points of the team a bag well and too cold have been there not only their

determination their enthusiasm here's a cover one we got a two count that time

but their grit and determination, their never-say-die attitude,

much like Sting and Singles' competition,

these two young men never give up in tag team wrestling,

and now they're really being taken to the rope tier, so to speak,

because they're hitting them with everything.

Boy, good hold here by Benoit, thinking four on that head,

but notice the important part, the ring positioning.

That's the secret of tag team.

Here's the frustration on Scorpio builds up,

but Patrick's got to shove him out of there.

Benoit is in the right place at the right time.

What a way to open up Slammary 93, a legendary union.

You're watching live on Pay Per View.

Tony Shimani in the legendary Zubisco.

And we have a tremendous program ahead of us still to come.

What a way to begin things.

And the youngsters really being put to the test here.

You know, tremendous isn't the word, Tony.

You know what it is?

Oh, look at that.

A former The Root Awakening that time.

It's a classic.

Go.

One.

I'll tell you, the video of this event is going to become a collector's item.

No question about that.

We'll be talking a little bit later on about the tremendous weekend we've had here in Atlanta, Georgia.

This is just the culmination of a tremendous weekend.

In the past couple of weeks we have seen a man we had never seen before named Colonel Rob Parker

who had been coming on WCW Saturday night looking for a brand new superstar.

He came looking for one heavy metal van hammer.

What he saw because the legendary expression never to look a gift horse in the mouth, right?

All right, well Van Hammer being the level of experience this man is if I was him

I would have took the good Colonel's advice

I think Van Hammer made a big mistake

Well, I tell you what Colonel didn't like what he saw as we said but heavy metal Van Hammer after the Colonel really had some

unkind things to say about him

put his hands on the colonel and then the colonel went out and found his own

super star. Again, very rude of Van Hammer

to grab someone smaller than he is. Well, maybe so, but

we are awaiting Colonel Parker's athlete. It's a special added match. We didn't

expect you here at Slambery, but we are set to go

as heavy metal Van Hammer will be coming to the ring and we'll find out who his opponent will be.

Ladies and gentlemen the following contest it is set for one fall with a 20

minute time limit. Introducing first from New York City weighing 200 and 91

pounds heavy metal Ben Hamer. Heavy metal Ben Hamer

Looking as awesome as other. There's no doubt about it that he is a tremendous athletic specimen

And that's what Colonel Rob Parker had heard about the size and the ability of heavy metal van hammer

He definitely has the potential big man very well conditioned athlete as all it takes he needs guidance

And now ladies and gentlemen to introduce the opponent

Colonel Rob Parker

much like yourself Larry doesn't know when to stop talking. Colonel Rob Parker hey well hey okay

we're one for one. Making his way here. It's a big night for him where he was all smiles in the

locker room area. Every dog has his day. Van Hammer had his chance.

You and I had a disagreement, you came over to me and you physically assaulted me, bruising

my feelings.

I told you then, that's the biggest mistake you're ever gonna make in your entire life.

I also told you that you could drive your taxi cab and get you another way down here

Come on, boys, get it on down here for him.

Well, here comes the gurney.

Bring it right up here.

That was called a stretcher.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce to you now

a 300 pound from Memphis, Tennessee.

All of you, get off on your feet in a show of respect

for the man that rules the world.

BEEP!

Thanks a lot Tony and I am here with two tremendous legends, formerly from Minneapolis, now living

in Dallas, Texas, Mr. Red Bass Steen and of course, Bugsy McGraw and I want to start

off talking to you, Mr. Bass Steen, what are you feeling so far about Slambery 93?

It's wonderful, but when I look at guys like Sid Fish, it makes me awful happy that I'm

not wrestling anymore.

These guys are bigger, stronger and faster, good time to retire for me.

You're a fixture here at WCW for a long, long time, what do you make of this return of Sid Vicious?

Really, what I was sitting here, and I could not really believe my man.

Sid Vicious, you understand me, I've been around this business a while.

I've been in some battles, I spilled some blood, Sid Vicious.

You're the biggest, most awesome looking wrestler I've ever seen.

Yes, Eric, I'm gonna turn this way and face this camera so we can get it on the air and I'll look so pretty for you.

Understand, Slamber E93, I'm excited, of course, I'm here.

You should be excited, too. I want to say hi to my mom and my dad.

To Jared Gray of Florida and everybody else around here.

It's been nice to see you and Eric. You got on too much makeup, baby. Bye.

Bugsie McGrod.

Handle it well.

You wear it well.

I want to say hello to Oliver Bastien

up in Keltier, Minnesota.

Take care, Eric.

All right.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend

and let's get back down to the ring.

Ladies and gentlemen the following is the first of three

Legends matches. It is the legends six-man tag team match set for one fall with a 15-minute time limit

Introducing first from Waxahatchee, Texas

278 pounds one half of the world famous Texas Outlaws dirty dick

Murdock Sunset Beach, Hawaii

Magnificent, Dunne, Morocco, and from the Fiji Islands, 251 pounds, the Superfly, Jimmy

Snooker!

Three!

And we said the word so much but it really re-

legends to begin things and our first legends match up Murdoch, Don Morocco and

the Superfly Jimmy Stucco maybe a little bad blood here as we saw yesterday on

WCW Saturday night Larry

Well, you know, it's an interesting thing about, like I said, time for only the pyramids and the legends of wrestling, but sometimes old wounds never heal, Tony.

And ladies and gentlemen, the three opponents, the three legends, first from the University of Oklahoma, 260 pounds, Chief Wahoo McDaniel!

Eagle Pass, Texas, 307 pounds, Black Jack Mulligan.

And from White Bear Lake, Minnesota, 227 pounds.

Jump in, Jim Brunzel.

It's a legend six-man tag match and Slambery continues and we have had surprises

We have had moves we've never seen before we are seeing legends

We are having a great time and we're only just underway now yesterday on WCW Saturday night as you take a look at the

Duo actually the trio of Wahoo on your left in the center Jimmy Jim Brunzel and blackjack Mulligan

apparently Brunzel and

Don Morocco have had their problems in the past

in the kind of manifesto yesterday at Slam Meet.

Well, I can't be sure, but I think it had something to do with Morocco stealing one of Brunzel's

Girlfriends years ago. It could be a rumor

You never know you never in this sport. You never know. Okay, the Superfly gym, you know what the wild thing is tonight

These legends, you know, these guys are retired. They're here. They really don't care about anything can happen

Oh, and it's no skin off of them. Right. I know they they don't work for WCW

Real quick

Superfly and Brunzel Brunzel with the drop till whole takedown Jim Brunzel and

Greg Gania became a WA tag team champions for the very first time back in

1975 defeating Blackjack Lanza and bad boy Bobby Duncan speaking of a Blackjack

Blackjack Mulligan takes a hold of Superfly Jimmy Snooker.

It's amazing how Mulligan he is as big as he ever was and take a look at Snooker.

Not not a year went by that mark this man. He looks as good as he ever did the super flying Jimmy snooker

Who was a great tag team champion? I talked about he and Paul Orndorff 1978

They were all tag team champions and one of Mulligan's old tag team partners dirty dick Murdoch going at it here

Against the big cowboy and here we go. The two Texans are in there's not gonna be much of a wrestling match here

They're gonna fight it out. Okay. Here's two guys that could make sure there's not much of the Omni left

Shorter Black Mulligan goes down, Murdoch over the top, he stepped off him over the top, and Mulligan with a hip toss.

The master of the claw takes, stick Murdoch down.

I tell you, Blackjack throws that weight around and he knows how to do it.

He's got a lot of weight to throw, I see Murdoch fly over.

And Arndorff became World Tag Team Champions in 1977, Mulligan and Dick Murdoch were the NWA World Tag Team Champions.

You know every little detail from before I was born, don't you?

No, you were born a long time ago, Colornelbo Tia, but of course the tag team roots of Dick Murdoch go back to 1972 when he and Dusty Rhodes were the famed Texas Outlaws.

Bars that looked like rubble when they left a trail of one one two and a kick up buildings that turned into rubble believe me

And why who McDaniel I

Could tell you stories that would take me weeks

This man right here chief while he could write a book you'd have to label it science fiction

Murdoch was also one of the top contenders in the world heavyweight title and now we're going to take our first look at Don Morocco

I guess they got a tag in and Morocco scheduled to come in

Not many people know this but did you know Morocco began as a before he was a professional wrestler

He was an underwater photographer a professional surfer and Lord James Blair's who was our master of ceremonies

Just last night for slam piece with the one who guided this man's career in the ring. I knew that

Morocco is in against

Maybe the most famous

Football player turn wrestler of all time look at Wahoo showing his power and

Morocco quickly goes back to the corner what they smart move by Morocco, you know that that

Chief is that Indian blood cooking and he just smokes out there, Morocco did the smart thing and shut off that momentum.

Chief Wahoo McDaniel, U.S. Heavyweight Champion, Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Champion.

Keith Paul Jones were the World Tag Team Champions?

On many occasions he and Rufus our freight train Jones were as well bringing back some names of the past and we see now the

Triple team so to speak with the referee Randy Anderson trying to control things and down the rock go

Who was voted a WA rookie of the year in 71 is working over Wahoo, McDaniel

Into the midsection interesting thing here is all these guys know all the tricks Tony

Since Wahoo, boy, their strategy is pretty simple here, Larry.

Oh, yeah.

They know what to do.

I mean, just lower that shoulder, drive Wahoo back

into the corner, and let it happen.

Snooka Morocco and a dirty Dick Murdock.

Tay Murdock was a lot of fun at Slam Piece last night.

He really, like Blackjack Mulligan, he's a big Texan, has a lot of personality.

Like him or hate him, he's somebody that stands out in the crowd.

And Bruntel living up to his name with a great drop kick.

Still jumping after all these years.

Up by the years.

I think he's still got his tie-dye trunks from 69.

Shoulder block.

Boy, he's in tremendous condition.

Look at Brunson.

These guys take care of themselves once an athlete,

always an athlete.

Ha!

Ha!

Ha!

Tremendous athlete and it goes back to what we were talking about Larry talking about this last night

Of course 11 a.m. Will slam meet the meet and greet autograph session photo opportunities

Then the dinner began really about six o'clock last night with

With the introduction of many of the legends and a sleeper hauled

by Brunzel.

Look at the ring positioning.

Murdoch knew exactly where he was as soon as Brunzel hooked the sleeper.

He used his weight and backed Brunzel up into the corner.

He wanted him to be in.

These guys are pros through the legends day.

Know the tricks.

We were talking about the flying hit scissors by Dirty Dick Murdoch.

You know, really, not only some of the onriest and meanest,

but certainly one of the some of the most gifted and toughest athletes in the world.

been in professional wrestling yeah there's no doubt about it this is the

this is a breed of the toughest men the world has produced and I'm proud to be

one of them and we're glad you're here the legs

11 course you are of course I have two to two you stumbling and runs out he

cannot combat the power

of Miracle, but he made the tag anyway.

Here comes Wahoo McDaniel.

Well, he tagged, but Anderson was in the wrong corner.

And again, they're back to their positioning.

Brunzel is in never-never land.

Oh!

Oh, down goes Superfly Jimmy Spooka.

Inadvertently from Don Miracle, he

has to make the tag that the only one of his partners

standing, little join going on there between teammates.

And there's a swinging neckbreaker by Murdoch.

I'll tell you, Brunsel's kept himself in fine condition.

And Burdock, looking as tough as ever.

He's a wily veteran.

He always was wily.

Uh-oh.

Maybe not as nimble as before, but wily.

Of course he's not.

But he's as mean as before.

He drives the knee right down between the shoulder blades.

Blackjack and now the Morocco comes in they got snooker first one two snooker

helped his partner that time because the referee chased snooker away before he

made the three count or the attempt of the three it was only a two cap

Morocco makes a tag to Snooka look at the team though as Snooka and Morocco and Murdoch very quick tags in and out

Always got that fresh man rotating

Good strategy

Snooka who most of his career was certainly a fan favorite

But he also team with Ray the crippler Stevens at one time. There's one

And was certainly a man that the fans booed for many years.

They were a team under the late Gene Anderson.

You can go back in your memory from that.

Well, finally, he took his career.

He commanded the respect of everybody for his ability

as an athlete.

Oh, the things he could do.

But what a tough individual.

He does the suit, eats you on the spot and fights you.

The great athletes from the Fiji Islands at Don Maracco

are going out at the second time.

And a roll on.

at a week of an eye all six men are going at it Randy Anderson wait a minute

I think he's calling for the bell that's it this was broken down I don't know

what the referee's decision is going to be he's gonna tell Gary Kepeta and Gary

what word we got here ladies and gentlemen the official decision this

But the fight goes on

I've had a chance to interview two men quite like this, but I have heard stories.

I became a wrestling legend for all my friends in Canada and the millions of mad dog fans around the world.

So, Mr. Assassin, how do you feel about this?

I've not done talking.

You know what? I just seen this six-guy Russell in his tag team match.

I have only one regret that I'm not daring to rig myself to Russell

because I would teach some of these guys what it's really like to Russell.

It's a doggy dog world out there.

So Mr. Sasson, how do you feel about the action so far?

It's a tremendous action.

There's one thing on my mind that I want to clarify.

I've been asked many times about the remarks

that I made in the past few weeks about Dusty Road.

You know, it's no secret to anyone

that there's been bad blood between Rhodes and myself

for a long time.

We've had a lot of battles, and I

don't feel that anything has ever been settled.

So Rhodes, I'm making an open challenge to you.

Any time, any place, let's settle it once and for all.

Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest of Slambering 93, the Legends Tag Team match.

Set for one fall with a 15 minute time limit.

Introducing team number one.

First from the Soviet Union, weighing 103 kilos.

The Russian Bear!

Ivan Krupp!

Ladies and gentlemen, representing Germany, 257 pounds.

The master of the claw, Baron Bern-Ruschke.

Well, as the old cliche goes, when you're bad, you're bad.

And these two are two of the baddest

the sport has ever seen.

They are, Karl Offenraske.

They're just not a couple of pretty faces.

They're last of the real men.

And ladies and gentlemen, the opposition from Atlanta, Georgia.

Welcome back to the U.M.E. Thunderbolt Patterson.

But Thunderbolt has made it to the ring by himself.

I don't know if there's gonna be a two on one here or what.

I'm not looking at you.

I'll tell you a story about Mad Dog for Sean Cawig.

Talk about doggy dog world, what a maniac.

He was one time he got in a fight, knocked a man out, Tony.

Then pulled out his eyeball and then stepped on him.

Excuse me.

They tell me that Bob has got a bad operation on his knee.

So it don't make no difference, I will kick both of y'all back, back, back.

What'd he say?

I think you know what he said.

And the fans here in the Omni do.

Oh, we are having fun tonight.

It looks like that full of Bob Armstrong had apparently a knee operation.

They should not control them, they aren't strong.

It should have been weak stomach, because all of you are strong.

Have been cowards all their career.

They're nothing but cowards.

They're taking on, they're taking on, they're going for it.

Well, there's Brad Armstrong.

Yellowberry cowards.

Brad has made it to the ring, wait a minute now.

You're talking about somebody who's hurt, you're talking about an Armstrong, well my gosh, I'm an Armstrong and I'm from right here in the heart of the crowd, I'll tell you something, one Armstrong's hurt, I'm not hurt, I'll do it right now, I'll be more than proud to be this man's partner any day of the week.

Hey yo, take your shirt off baby, look at here, take your shirt off, let's kick some...

Thunderbolt Patterson and Bolts got himself a partner now in Brad Armstrong in his genes

in his rebox air set to go Thunderbolt Patterson who was the southern heavyweight champion

was a dominant wrestler not only here in Georgia but also in Florida one of the most popular

athletes ever to compete he still lives here in Atlanta.

But it's also an effective method of locking up when you do movements like that you know exaggerated movements and body turns it throws off an opponent's timing.

Ron Rasky certainly doesn't want to tie up with him.

to try to side headlock.

They did a thing with Bonraschi years ago

where he used to put a bolt in a big pair of pliers

and squeeze it with his hand and the pliers would just snap.

This is born with double tendon strengthening, huge hand.

But the side headlock's not working now.

And the German athlete.

He and Greg Valentine were the NWA World Tag Team Champions, and he was the first ever

World Television Champion of the NWA, and that happened back in 1978.

You're just a human fax machine, aren't you?

Something like that.

And now Ivan Koloff as Brad, I'm sharp enough to sit right down on the arm.

And Larry, I want to ask you, you probably know this as well as anybody else, as we see Ivan Kolov, the Russia Bear, go at it.

January 8, 1971, Madison Square Garden. I know you remember that day as well as everyone else.

And that was the day Ivan Koloff thrown Bruno San Martino and it was over 22,000 people

in the garden Tony when Koloff beat Bruno you could hear a pin drop.

It was awesome in terms of everyone was in shock.

Captain Lou Albano was the manager of Ivan Koloff at that time and it was a stunner.

Ivan went on to lose that belt to Pedro Morales a month later and now Baron Von Rasky.

I talked about back in 1978, he was a Mid-Atlantic television champion and all the NWA promoters

got together for a tournament with their television champion to decide a world TV

champ and Baron Von Rasky won that tournament and was deemed the first ever world television

champion.

He's got it!

There's the claw hole!

That's his MO!

The way he hooks the back of the neck, you know, puts the pressure on the back of the

Both came in for the break, and Ivan Kolov in, and the Thunderbolt.

Oh yeah, his trademark, the rapid pistol fire.

He slapped Kolov more than a shimp.

They're going to throw him together.

Both Kolov and the Baron go down.

This legends tag match has part of Slambo...

I'll tell you what, Baron Von Rasky got his M.O. in there, that was the claw of Thunderbolt

Patterson, however, it was that experience that saved the day, people was there, right

there, he chopped the Baron right in the throat, and it just knocked the air out of him, put

the weight over his shoulders, and they got a victory.

One of the most exciting parts of Slamberry has been Ric Flair, who says he will be here

tonight, the original four horsemen, and with that, we're going to take you down to

gentlemen welcome to a special live edition of Poth Blair for the Gold with

your host Nature Boy Ric Flair also featuring Pee Pee the May tonight the

original four horsemen will be reunited and now here he is Nature Boy

of the Legendary Four Horsemen.

With that comes a lot of good news, but a little bad news.

But before I get into that, let me do one thing

every man in the audience, and every man worldwide

waits for each week, and that is, take that

Hi, John.

As you know, Barry Wyndham has been snubbing you.

He's been snubbing the horseman. He's been even been snubbing this show, but very win them in a short while

And I mean in a short while you're not going to be able to snub me

This is my shot my one shot and rest assured as you look in these eyes

I'm going to make it good. I guess what he's name there is after tonight

BW you and these girls over here be calling double a the champ brother. That's the way it is now

What's the occasion, Holy?

I'll tell you what, I'm all dressed up for a party with you.

I've got to be dressed.

But I did not tell you before.

I said, you can't trust Wyndham.

And Wyndham got to that other kid, Tully.

And I'll tell you what, it makes me hot.

I've said it time and again.

You've got to watch him.

You can't trust him.

Well, only listen and say this to you.

Take a look around behind you, one time, Rock.

It's 10 out of 10.

The newest member of the four horsemen is legitimately one of those

Kids stealing a wheel and deal of limousine riding jet flying son of a gun

the major cry. I'm talking about none other than

Stalin and profiling pretty Paul

Roma. Come on out here Paul.

Hey, does he not stick a demographic?

Kids, women, girls, don't be ashamed of it.

Paul, welcome brothers.

to the horsemen. Thank you, it's a pleasure. You know, I don't think these people really realize

the thousands of wrestlers you had to choose from, and you chose me to be a part of the most supreme

elite group in professional wrestling today. The symbol that stands for and always will be

excellence. Hey, it's the four horsemen, Paul. We got Fifi on our left. We got the girls over here on our

But before we get the party going, let me lay one thing down.

Hillman Austin, you want an HMOR, you got it.

Because the tights are coming back out.

And as the sides stepped in the west, we're going to rock and roll.

Because the horsemen, whoo, are reunited again.

All right.

It's our honor to have the greatest US Heavyweight Champion of all time, Johnny Valentine with us.

And Johnny, welcome to Rinkside, having a great time this weekend.

It's great to be here. I've never seen so much talent in one building, especially the old timers.

And we're going to see a couple old-timers wrestle I understand I've already seen a few

We are getting ready to see Nick Bakuiko go up one-on-one against Dory Funk Jr.

Kind of the AWA versus the NWA

We're gonna have that match up but before we do and Johnny's gonna be at ringside with us with the commentary

Before we do fans the next big pay-per-view coming up with WCW is going to be Beach Blast

World Championship Wrestling presents Beach Blast at Beach Blast 93.

What a time ahead last year.

This time it comes up Sunday's I-18 only on Pay Per View.

Easy legends singles match set for one fall with a 15 minute time limit.

Accompanied by former NWA World Heavyweight Champion,

Canada's greatest athlete, Gene Kendenstee.

He's formerly from Amarillo, Texas.

Now residing in Ocala, Florida, weighing 245 pounds.

And for four and a half years, he held the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.

Jr.

Dory front jr. Along with

Big Thunder Jean Kaneshki. It's in WA against a WA as we go back to Gary Gepeta

And ladies and gentlemen his opponent

He's from St. Paul, Minnesota.

He weighs 238 pounds, four-time former AWA World Heavyweight Champion, Nick Buckwinkle.

And Nick Buckwinkle is accompanied by former AWA World Heavyweight Champion, Fern Ganya.

It is AWA against NWA, Larry Zavisco and I are joined by Johnny Valentine.

It's going to be Dory Funk Jr. against Nick Bakwinkle.

Two men, Johnny, I know you know a tremendous amount about.

We talked about the competitive juices still flowing.

We've seen some great matches.

We're anticipating another great one here, Johnny.

Well, this is really a jealousy match because they wanted to.

to get together for many years

and they wouldn't let him go.

But now they are here

and there is some professional jealousy

and there's been a little bad talk

between them lately

and this is going to be a fun match

for us.

Yeah for us.

You know that the interesting part is

of course I was a last AWA world

champion.

I'm responsible for retiring

Bob Wingo's first match in years

for like Mr. Valentine was saying

But the politics were just too fragile at the time.

Two organizations would never meet, in my opinion.

Of course, a W.A. champion would reign supreme.

As we take a look at the legendary Johnny Valentine here,

ringside with us, and Dory Funk Jr., Dory Funk Jr.

lost his NWA title in 1973 to Harley Race but he defeated the man who is his

second Gene Koniske in 1969 in Tampa, Florida for that belt. As we said for

four and a half years it was a tremendous title reign for Dory Funk, Jr.

of course a member of the legendary Funk family. Nick Bonkwick on the other side

won his AWA World Heavyweight title his first one in 1975 and he defeated the

You know interesting here both these men are excellent Matt wrestlers just master of holds and pressure points and leverage

They're two of the greatest of the greats Tony right in front of your eyes

Johnny I was wondering in their prime if Nick Buckley go went up against Dory Funk Jr. in their prime both of them were champions

They were very similar in styles. Who would you have given the nod to at that time? I would have to favor funk a little bit

I've wrestled

Dory from right and Dory. This is Dory from Junior, right? I've wrestled them both and I

really respect the funks and I respect Dory from for his ability and he's got staying power

He doesn't go down when he gets hurt. He's in there fighting the last minute and I'd have to

lean towards him. Well, you talked about the stain power, Dory Funk, good go behind that time,

but Nick Buckwick turns the hammerlock right around. One of the things about Dory Funk Jr. when

he was the World Heavyweight Champion was the fact that when Dory Funk came to your part of the

country and you were, let's say, one of the top athletes and you had to go up against the World

Champion, you were in for a long fight, 60-minute time of those world title matches. A lot of

Oh that's right, I've wrestled him 90 minutes and I was unable to do the job in 90 minutes but he was a well trained wrestler, he's always in great shape and to me condition is number one.

If you can just keep going, going, going, eventually you're going to have the advantage.

And this is where he was famous for getting into cornering those uppercuts.

Look at those forearms that time.

It's a big atmosphere, but if you can't get any of it in your lungs, it's not going to do you any good.

Look at the way Dory's got this neck of ice clamped on here.

I mean, just a master of wrestling holds and leverages.

And we're talking about legends.

You saw the legendary Bern Ganni up on the apron of the ring.

And Vern Ganya won his first AWA heavyweight title back in 1958, and his last AWA championship

reign ended in 1985.

Now think about that, one of the true legends in our sport.

And I'd say there's only one way that you become that Tony, and that is you are one

of the best of the best.

And lucky that those injuries don't creep up on you because you never know when that

ambulance is waiting for you.

You hear Ganya, there you see Gene Koniske say go for the ropes junior.

There's a rugged individual right there. Check out that mug. What a competitor.

I'd say I'd say I'd have some nicknames for Bach, Winkle, Tricky, Nicky, Slick, Nick.

I mean, he was a real, real slick competitor. Every time you thought you had him hooked,

he was out of it. He's just a terrific wrestler.

The man, Vern Ganya, defeated in 1958 for the AWA title was Eduardo Capace.

As you take a look at punk get out of that nicely

Another man that was a WA heavyweight champion was a man on the other side as well and that was Jean Kaneski

So a lot of a lot of history between all four men here. Yeah

I'm enthralled with this match

back away. Well, you claim you retired, Nick Bacalico. Yeah, but this is like looking at history.

You know, it's too bad these guys didn't wrestle each other back, you know, 15 years ago

when politics were different. You know, speaking of history, and Johnny Valentine is beside us.

I grew up in the, I grew up in Virginia in the Carolinas. Look at that slam.

And I remember some legendary fights between Johnny Valentine and Wahoo McDaniel.

Look at that slam there by Bakweko and Cork on the outside.

I can remember Johnny Valentine coming into the television with a fishbowl full of silver dollars

and telling the man if you could put my shoulders down one, two, three, you could have the fishbowl of silver dollars.

No one ever got those silver dollars, Johnny.

They never did.

Never did.

They never did.

Yeah, I was, uh...

Talking about Wahoo, I really say I've had some of the toughest batches in my life with Wahoo McDaniel.

No doubt about it.

And it's tremendous having you here Johnny Valentine and all the 40-plus legends in this program

Still to come a little bit later on we will have the first induction into the WCW

Legends professional wrestling Hall of Fame right here later tonight, so we are have a lot to go

You heard the time limit called out by Gary Gopetta and

Funkin Bokwick will still going out of here

Elbow tremendous moves

And ability look at that uppercut Dory fuck still competes by the way Dory fucking throw him in there can he knows how to use his weight

Here's a cover one a one count and Mike Atkins

Saw the the foot on the ropes look how they use their weight always pulling in taking that chest and and using it as a

Almost a ramrod against the top of the head and crick that neck in there

There you go. Look at that. That's art

He never lets up

Now that's one thing about Dory

He gets a sore spot and he keeps working on it. That's the way to do it

Buck winkle was known as the

The most intelligent wrestler alive when he competed

Four-armed shot

Look at this, man.

You're right in there.

You're called a slick Nick.

Well, he could talk.

You always had a thing about Bokwinkl

if he asked him what time it was.

He told you how to make a watch.

You're right into it in this legendary union.

And those are heavy forehards by Nick Bokwinkl.

And it's stunned Dory Fock.

And he's going to go for a cover here.

But they're in the ropes.

Little two overaches on the part of Bokwinkl.

Big thunder.

pull the buck we go off a fuck

that time and and now can this

he is in the ring you know we

talked about it leading up to

this about temper slurring and

that's exactly Johnny Valentine

what we have here well there's

can this be over there and he's

he'd like to get in there

himself I think the collar

elbow the right above us here

Bokwinkle is pinned in the corner.

Bunk has that front face lock on.

Bokwinkle takes him down.

And he's still got the half on.

Just great wrestlers here, I mean.

I haven't got an opportunity to see Dory Bunk that much,

but he's got Bokwinkle's shoulders down.

And that's what I mean about Nick Bokwinkle.

Every time you think you got him hooked,

he just slicks himself out of there.

Oh, I can't.

Double Lake pick up that time you take a look at Gene Kaneski

Here was a man who ended the title reign of the great luthas

There's who won his first world title in 1937 and then lost in

1966 to Gene Kaneski and for the better part of 29 years luthas was the heavyweight champion of the world the man who

Ended luthas's title reign. That's that's quite an accomplishment

Yeah, Lou says he was a he was just a consummate wrestler of the 50s. He was a wrestler's wrestler Tony

side headlock

The belly to back suplex

Tremendous counter move and Dory Plunk's gonna try to make a cover here and he got out of it

you know Johnny Valentine we've seen a lot of great wrestling holds and we are

showing here right now that they've gone almost I guess they're getting close to

10 minutes here that these guys are still in great condition. Oh they're in great

condition they haven't let up and I could see them going all night like this

because they are great athletes. Another way Fung's got the pressure I mean just a

just a picture perfect hold here on putting the pressure on Buckwinkle.

Buckwinkle trying to work that ankle out of the way.

She is still fun to slips it down and a referee Mike Atkins asking

Bokwinkel if he wants to give it up at Bokwinkel, of course says no, but Bokwinkel back up

This match means a lot to both of them. No one's gonna lay down here. Absolutely not

Doesn't mean anything as far as rankings go or anything like that, but you talk about the very first slamboree

pride people watching all over the world on pay-per-view a tremendous crowd

here at the Army in Atlanta and their peers watching well one of them here at

ringside Johnny Valentine made their peers watch in the back dressing room

you're right Johnny means a lot to both of them ten minutes gone by there are

five minutes remaining to time all right ten minutes have gone by and now

these men will try for the next five minutes to get a winner you watch them

both of them have that same mutual respect for each other

They're not making any mistakes if you make a mistake against either one of these men you will lose a wrestling match Tony is always three seconds away from being over

Burned guy you came over to me said how much time left

And I said five minutes

He's going to go over and scream at the buck we go because the last four or five minutes you have to start pouring it on here

Mern Godney the man the master of the sleeper hold now encouraging Nick Bakwinkle

Look at how Bob Wiggins got that butterfly around the wrist of Dory Funk Jr. There the pressure in the leverage

Over 10 minutes a good look at UCLA graduate Nick Bakwinkle

Dory fuck came out of that one

nicely and once again it's

made a time limit for as we have

four minutes ago Johnny Valentine

is basically a stalemate here.

It is and they're working hard

look at the sweat on them.

They're really balling in side

hitlock is applied back into the

corner now and Mike Edkins right

to the midsection.

They funk uppercut that time, but Bakwinkle turns him around and lays in four arms of his own going right to the midsection

Again a snapmare takeover and a cover

We got a two-count final Bakwinkle. He's gonna start turning it on here

Was he got four more minutes left to work with that's less than four minutes

We're coming up on three minutes ago in this legends in WA versus a WA match

You know that's also that they're sticking to the rules. They're not breaking and they're being rough and tough

But they're not breaking in any rules. Absolutely that Larry made the time limit three. No

Side headlock

Now you can see what the fuck so try to do here. He's gonna try to plant him on his knee

Maybe try to pick him up, but by quick or just gripped harder on that side headlock as we are now less than three minutes away from this match

That time got a knee in with the break for every little opening. You leave these guys will find it. Oh

Knocked him to the ropes. Oh

Man fun hot pot Waco

He won't be using all those big words so well at least not for the remainder of the evening

He won't but if I know Nick you'll have him in full force tomorrow

They need to get it back in the ring here in the referee warning. There's Kaniski down Kaniski trying to grab on to

Pulling them in or pushing them out trying to grab on that time

Inside out are making an outside in the vertical suplex one two

And at two minutes to go burn gun you almost crawled in that time and we are down to the nitty gritty here guys

I'm surprised gun you kiss me aren't in there yet. Whoa

driver. It's the pile driver. There's a foot on the ropes and that's going to stop the

cow. And that slick Nick Bakwinkle again. I'm telling you, he's like human oil. He just

slips out of predicaments. Trying to get him up. He can't. Bakwinkle trying to backslide.

He's got him down. He may have him over. Bakwinkle does the updoing. Fuck over. It's so close to

between two of the greatest in our sport and elbow going after it single-leg pickup

and he's going for the spinny toe hold. He's got him out. One minute the spinny toe hold is on that's the submission hold.

30 seconds remain.

And the referee's allowing the match to continue,

but into the ropes.

They're into ropes now.

Dory Funk Jr.

Burned Ganya, asking for a disqualification.

15 seconds.

And they're still going at it.

Look at these uppercuts, back and forth.

These two guys taking it to the limit.

One, two, no serve, a two-catch.

Seven, six, five.

Ladies and gentlemen, these two great legends have wrestled to the full extent of the time limit.

The official decision, a draw.

Johnny Valentine, it was great to have you in ringside.

It's always great to have you with us at WCW.

Thank you.

That was a great match.

It was a pleasure being with you here.

Thank you very much.

The greatest U.S. heavyweight champion of all time,

Johnny Valentine, joining us for the match

as we will go to some more legends standing by

with Eric Bischoff.

Eric.

All right, thanks a lot, Tony.

And, boy, when you talk about legends,

you've got to be talking about my next guest.

First of all, Mr. Luthes, it's an honor to be here

and shake your hand.

because you are a man that is indeed a legend that stands alone.

We're talking about a man that won his first World Heavyweight title back in 1937 in St. Louis,

and it's an honor to have you here.

Thank you very much. I'm very happy to be here.

Got some wonderful matches tonight, and this lamboree looks like a fantastic success.

I congratulate everyone for participating in it.

Happy to be here. Thank you.

You know, a lot of controversy in the match.

President of the NWA, everybody was talking last night about the AWA, the NWA matchup.

I know you guys are two diehard NWA fans, but what are your thoughts on this last match?

I thought it was a fabulous match with two great athletes.

I watched them when they were wrestling active, and you can see it coming back.

You can see it coming back and talk about going back.

Let's get back to the ring.

Tony Chavani and Larry Zavisco.

He's definitely rather shamed.

Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest of Slambering93.

Tag team action, set for one fall with a 20-minute time limit.

Introducing first.

From Robinsdale, Minnesota, weighing 249 pounds, the United States heavyweight champion,

Robinsian, Wig Woo!

His tag team partner from Turf, Florida, weighing 200, 51 pounds, the world television champion, Mr. Wonderful!

music. What I'd like to have right now is for all you fat, out of shape, inner city

you what a couple of real men are supposed to look like. Hit the music!

47 pounds, Tensuki Sasuke!

Well, it was one week ago, in a controversial match on WCW Worldwide Wrestling,

Abyssin Rick Green walked out with a US heavyweight title.

But the replay clearly showed that when the referee went one, two, three,

each man had a shoulder-

Ravishing Rick rude that injury enabled rude to get the U.S. title shot against Dustin road with Sasaki should have had the title

You can't blame Rick rude injury. I mean injury and getting hurt is the nature of the beast

But part of the it's just part of the sport rude have some unkind things to say about the

The dress the tights the boots the look of Sasaki

So there is bad blood here everywhere

It's like a real powerhouse. Well, I mean talk about bad but Dustin Rhodes must be

Incensed watching grab a Z Rick rude walk out with the US title

He's also been teeming with Hock to form a tag team of the Hillary.

They've been very successful.

What a Sasaki, excellent athlete.

I don't know if he's got the experience here, though, to deal with Paul Orndorf and Rick Roode.

What a grand night we are having a look at the ravishing Rick Rudd the master of the

route awakening and back to the cutter and Paul Orndorff the World Television Champion

is in.

Here's a man who's had his problems with one round Simmons and that world TV title time

limit.

I'm wondering about the team work

and the communicational problems.

I mean, Sasaki being Japanese, of course, Dustin Rhodes.

Can they communicate as well as Orndorff and Rick Rue?

I don't even know how much English Sasaki speaks.

Not much.

Well, there's one big problem.

That's why hero Matsuda has been with him

and hero one of the legends here as well, in attendance.

Euro comes over to this country. Not only that, it's a point we bring up many times, Larry, when Japanese wrestlers wrestle here, our athletes go to Japan.

There's a tremendous time difference, about 10 to 12 hours. I think it's about 12 hours difference between Japan, Tokyo, and the United States.

So he's wrestling very much so on a different day. It's morning time over there.

Not to mention the jet lag. When I go over there, I always take an extra day to recoup.

A look at Ravishing Rick Rood, a U.S. champion as Paul Orndon, the World Television Champion at Sasaki taking out the frustrations of the entry he sustained over in Japan about a month ago.

So far the tag team work has been excellent. They know they're re-positioning quick tag between Sasaki and Dustin Rhodes.

Concentrated on the arm of Warndorf there. There you go.

Okay, this could explode right here.

Dustin doing the smart thing though. He first of all takes a step back towards his corner. Notice how he's holding his ground right there, Larry.

No rush. Use your brain. Science is the name of the game.

When you let your emotions run your body, you make mistakes.

He understands what the referee

is telling us is hard enough to

understand he we Anderson we could

talk English.

And you're screaming in order of

the channel Paula.

Meanwhile Dustin.

Well he's like a rag doll now.

Hit first to the safety around

the out one to got a two count

and he kicked away.

What Dustin Rhodes went flying

over the top of it that's

against the Poles.

And again, the tag team efforts

of Orndorf and Roode ever so critical.

The communication is there.

I don't know what communication

Dustin has with Sasaki.

And right now, Dustin, could you some?

back to the attack again.

Fans are trying to get underneath the skin of Orndorff.

I don't think it's working.

Well, again, it shows the ignorance of the fans.

Here's a man-world-class athlete.

Look at the condition of Paul Orndorff.

He commands respect.

The Chancala is complete stupidity.

Shoulder into the midsection.

the opinions of the legend WCW's own legend.

But what do I know?

Rude trying a piledriver.

Oh, Dustin held firm, but Rude trying to soften him up here.

They're doing a fine job of it.

Now, another way for a piledriver,

a tremendous movement after on a part of Dustin Rhodes to move a six foot six inch body in

that position upside down and then hook a move on Rue.

Excellent move, but what he needs to do is dance to Saki for the finest athletes not

only in WCW but in the world.

What has to be considered a grudge tag team match going at it

Saki got an elbow he's going up top again room

Sasaki is going to go up top here.

It's Sasaki eyeing up Rude.

I don't think Rude knows where he is.

Fight going on outside.

You know when you just, oh!

Whoa, in goes Sasaki.

Rude, Rude!

Trying to, oh, Rude Awakening!

Yes!

He got it!

Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners,

Wonderful, Paul Orndorff!

He's making you out of shame.

Roode and Orndorff, with the Roode awake at him,

get the win over Sasaki and the natural Dustin Rhodes.

And the two champs, the U.S. and the TV champ,

get the win and take a look at our tremendous crowd

out here near the Amin.

Here they go.

Well, take a look at this.

Sasaki, he gave it the all effort,

but Orndorff was there.

He's Sasaki, but right here, Rick Roode.

Both Sasaki up, the Roode way.

It was just experience, the communication

that took its toll, Tony.

It was a great tag match, Roode.

And I don't get the win.

Well, Larry, we've seen a little bit of everything.

Some great tag matches.

We've seen legends go at it.

We've talked to some of the legends,

so you've heard from, from...

Mad Dog Bichon from Luthez. We're getting ready now to induct our first four ever into the WCW legend's Hall of Fame.

Well, don't sit there looking at me. Let's get it going. I want to see it myself.

All right now, a true legend himself. Gordon Soli, a man who is certainly a...

I've been very close to for many years. A man who has up-guided my career.

A gentleman and a guy who was a legendary announcer on TBS for many years in the center of the ring.

And it's only fitting that Gordon Soli would intro the legends.

Let's go to Gordon Soli.

Well, thank you very much, Tony Shavani.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me add my personal welcome to all of you

attending this most auspicious occasion this evening.

Thank you.

may I proceed please as you know of course we are going to be tonight inducting four members to the

world championship wrestling hall of fame

I have been chosen for this honor and I am honored believe me to be the inductee but before

we begin the induction ceremony let me just say

There are many great living legends that will not be with us tonight.

Unfortunately, they have passed on.

Buddy Rogers,

Andre the Giant,

Pat O'Connor,

Gene Anderson,

Dick the Bruiser,

Wilbur Snyder,

and one more that we'll tell you about a little bit later on.

Let's observe a moment of silence for these departed great athletes.

Thank you very much.

And now, ladies and gentlemen,

for the very first inductee into the WCW.

Hall of Fame and we cross all organizations the Hall of Fame will be here in the CNN complex

But the very first man to be inducted. Let me introduce the incomparable Lou

Watch your monitors watch your wide screens around

Luthers dominated the wrestling world yet a championship reign of 29 years he

first won the NWA title in 1937 he held the title at one point in his career for

eight straight years he finally lost it to Whipper Billy Watson he regained the

same the title the same year to hold it for a fifth time

And in 1963, Fez became the first man in history to win the title for the sixth time by defeating

Buddy Rogers in Toronto.

I might just say once again, this man's championship career spanned 29 years and just two years

ago he was wrestling in Japan.

It's a real honor and a pleasure to induct Lou Fez to the Hall of Fame.

Our second inductee, many times the AWA Heavyweight Champion, Fern Ganya.

Fern Ganya, who today is very active with the U.S. Amateur Athletic Association.

He's already in the collegiate Hall of Fame.

He's in the Helms Foundation Hall of Fame of Minnesota native.

He attended the University of Minnesota. That career was interrupted by service in the Marine Corps.

He played the football for the University of Minnesota.

He won the Big 10 championship in wrestling four times, NCAA champion in 1948 and 49.

Also a member of the US Olympics in 1948.

He turned professional in 1950, was a 1950 junior heavyweight champion.

U.S. Heavyweight Championship in 53 to 56, and then in 1959 he won the AWA World Championship.

He and I dispute how many times he held it. He says nine, I say my record show 14.

Congratulations, Fern Garnier.

Our third inductee this evening,

And you've never seen his face. He is Mr. Wrestling number two.

Mr. Wrestling number two's career

spanned at 34 years of active competition beginning in 1956.

He has held the North American title, the Georgia Heavyweight Championship, and many other regional titles.

But interestingly, in 1976, he was invited to Columbus, Georgia, to Flames, Georgia actually to visit with the presidential candidate Jimmy Carter, his wife, and Jimmy Carter's mother, Miss Lillian.

Four weeks later, when Jimmy Carter was elected as President of the United States, Miss Lillian got ahold of Mr. Wrestling to and invited him to the inauguration.

He accepted, but then when the Secret Service came along and said that he could not go there with his mask,

he politely declined the invitation.

That's how much that mask is meant to him over the years at the professional wrestling.

I might also point out this man.

was the only wrestler to ever win the champion of champions award voted by the

fans throughout the United States. Wrestling 2, congratulations.

Thank you very much.

Lastly, as I mentioned at the very onset, there is one who is no longer with us

that certainly is going into the Hall of Fame tonight.

He will be represented here by his son

Man we're talking about is Eddie Graham Mike Graham

Will accept the black

Eddie of course that held the North American heavyweight championship for many times

When he finally settled in Tampa, Florida he developed the philosophy of giving back to the community

He was a firm believer in amateur wrestling.

He instituted amateur wrestling in the school of the sportatorium in Tampa, along with Coach

John Heath and Cowboy Luttrel.

He also even privately subsidized a wrestling coach for Robinson High School and finally

the entire high school system put in wrestling as a major sport.

who is also the gentleman who is active in all civic affairs, big brothers, big sisters,

Red Cross, American Cancer Society, and then he and Sheriff Ed Blackburn along with Cowboy

Luttrel spearheaded the drive to develop the Florida Sheriff youth ranches, one of the most

successful youth ranches in the entire United States, modeled after Cal Farley's youth

and regret that he's not here with us tonight and we present his son Mike Graham with his plaque.

How about it? Four great legends, the first four ever to go into the WCW Hall of Fame.

And now let's turn it over to Missy Hyatt.

Thanks Gordon, and I'm here with Mr. Hawaii Lord James Blears.

And someone who I think is just, he's a legend.

Mr. John Tolas, I mean, Mr. West Coast, and you know, as a matter of fact, I saw you last night at the Slam Fest, and I know what a party's all about, and you sure look like you were having a good time.

Tell him, Miss Missy, I had a great time last night seeing my old buddies.

At the old place and I really enjoyed it and today. I'm even having a better time with the all my old buddies and the

All the famers. It's just great to be here, you know

Due to all respect to other sports you got to say that professional wrestling today is the greatest

sport in the world

Especially WCW is the only way to spell wrestling

And how about you? Are you having a great time tonight?

I'm having a wonderful time and John said it all when he told you that wrestling is the number one sport in the world.

I would like to say aloha to all the people in Hawaii and all the people that do receive this signal from the WCW.

And I have a present for you.

Really?

An English monocle. And if you could wear this for us, we'd be very, very happy.

Well, telly ho, let's go back down to the ring.

That's lovely, very lovely, very lovely.

Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest, the Special Bounty Match set for one fall with a 20 minute...

I saw Mr. Wrestling number two. I just want to tell you, here at the Amia I wrestled a man for an hour draw some years ago.

And ladies and gentlemen, his opponent.

He's from Green Bay, Wisconsin.

He weighs 300 and seven pounds.

The prisoner.

But what?

Can you read right there the prisoner?

Yeah, it looks more like the thing.

look at man Tony. Apparently

yesterday the prisoner and

Scott Norton had a run in and

just by looking at the prisoner

you know who came out ahead on

that one. Well if he was using

that tone for bar I guess it was

the prisoner. Sting has been in

all kinds of predicaments but he

has been able to prepare for all

kinds of predicaments. This is

the first time he is unable to

prepare for that or that man and

That's what I'm talking about, going into a match blind.

It's not the smart thing to do, but he has no choice here.

Boy, it's a big individual.

He's towering over the stage.

Three, two, one, two, one, two, three.

He's a wild man.

Look at this, choking him down.

He's choking him down.

The referee needs to get in there and try to restore some order.

He's going to get the squad.

of a second basically and he's

been using all of it Sting may

be out right here he may be

out well here's something

Sting didn't plan on an attack

by a gigantic mean looking man

and he's been all over this

day the prisoner again not

trying to pin here going for a

choke hold he is out it was

deemed a bounty match I'm not

so sure who put a bounty on

about the man, he said he's big strong and he's got Sting in big trouble.

He should look at Sting's eyes when he was in the corner here.

He has no idea what to expect.

First time he's tried to cover that time and Sting kicked away.

I don't think I've ever seen Sting take a beating like this so early on.

This proof vest on wow maybe he does

He just drew stinging up like a rag doll and now he's gonna

He's got more time he's back out again. He's utilizing every second of it. He's trying to hang Sting

This is incredible Sting has taken a vicious brutal

Unprovoked beating

I tell you, this man is not letting it up one iota on Sting, which is the smart thing to do once you got someone in trouble, capitalize it.

And this isn't the hands of a man who apparently does not want to win.

A man who apparently here had slandered Lee as Mady's first appearance in WCW and just wants to make a statement.

Well, you know, you've got to look at it from this side of the corner.

He may not want to win. If he injures Sting, if he unstinks career in a way, that is a supreme victory.

Well, I guess it is

WCW is most popular athlete in major trouble here

His only real move has been just to move out of the corner

He has hit the prisoner with a couple of blows, but the prisoner undaunted

There's a duck

One and the prisoner kicks that away and now stay trying to get some offense going

man to cover a new few degrees

off nobody in the cell at that

Absorbing an offensive display from Sting and going right back to it. Oh, no

He's got the record

No question that the prisoner Larry Zavisco has made his mark at WCW.

Our next pay-per-view and World Championship Wrestling will be Beach Flash.

It'll be our second Beach Flash in Beach Flash 93.

Comes your way exclusively on Pay-Per-View on Sunday, July 18.

Make sure you make your plans right now.

Well, we've had a lot going on so far away in the way here. I don't want to get locked inside this thing

I can't move in this monkey suit. You sure can this tuxedo

We are having a great time. We still got three title matches while we cage up the legend Larry Zabisco

Let's set it up to Eric tonight with the crush I'll Eric

Alright, thanks a lot Tony Shavani, and here's a guy that I grew up watching on television.

He rolled out the barrel a whole lot of times, he's the one, he's the only, he's the crusher!

How about that?

still got the 100 megatons in my set right here and I don't know how many

bums I've thrown out as soon as in my life with the bruiser and here's one

bomb I might have missed but I want to say one thing right now I got eight

great fans right up there in the Midwest there in Coney, Wisconsin,

in Largo, Florida, Lisa and Ryan.

These are my grandchildren, and they like to see me get the ring with this bum

in a cage where I was never defeated.

I was in more cage matches than any wrestler, and I like to throw that two ball head

right through that screen, right through that fence,

like a throw a tomato through a screen door.

You know, and we're going to talk to Oxbiker about that situation in just a few moments,

but you were a World Tag Team Champion in the AWA with Red Bastille, Dick the Bruiser,

Baron Von Roschke, and you talked about all the matches.

In fact, you've had more matches inside of a steel cage than any man in the sport.

Right, and I'll tell you, most of the guys that I wrestled with in that cage were never around again,

and I've never wrestled again.

And this big bum here, me and a bruiser tried to get him to get a partner to get in that cage with me and bruiser and why he wasn't signed, I can tell you, because he's a dumb ox.

Well, let's find out about it. How about it? Oxfaker, you made the heart punch famous.

You know, me and Peggy Ann were getting married and Crusher and Bruiser wanted to get inside of the cage.

Well, I want to tell you right here and now, Bruiser's is some way you can make it back.

I'd love to get in that cage because something I did for 30 years that nobody and Rasta never did.

When I knocked somebody down, when they was on their knees, like a gentleman, I would kick them right in the face.

I love to hurt people, and I have done it, it's better, you know, Crusher.

You better look at who I am, I just noticed that.

But that doesn't make any difference to me.

Alana, I wish I could wrestle again, but I want to say hello to my Alana friends,

to the legends of wrestling, to my announcer, to everybody out there.

I love it.

We got to get to the ring and I got to get out of here.

Take it Tony.

Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is for the World Tag Team Championship.

To be held in a giant steel cage, one fall with a 30 minute time limit.

Introducing first the challengers.

from Charlotte, North Carolina, 241 pounds,

Ricky, the Dragon, Steve Bows,

and from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 239 pounds,

Shane Douglas.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

We had a win over the World Dancing Champion

as the Dose on Breeze.

We feel that these outfits have given us such good luck that tonight

We're gonna make it two in a row and win the world tag team championships

What about that layer sounds like the Montezuma's prevents toy to me

And ladies and gentlemen their opponents

They are from Hollywood, California

Of course, Stunning Steve, Lyon, Brian, very upset with the Dodes' ombrades on quote.

Still, of course, they found out it was really Steve Bowden-Douglas,

but just to picture these two men with these suits on and these masks,

that picture of horrification as they actually beat the champions.

This could be an excellent psychological warfare.

The Hollywood Blondes are here in the cage against Steamboat and Douglas.

Or it could be Douglas isn't steenboats version of a rabbit's foot. I don't know

Is this where these guys with those guys where they doing now?

They're dressed they look like veto and Guido. They're taking some notes as they sit down and

Are watching intently the Hollywood blondes. Well, they the Hollywood blond

Maybe their agents or something it may be maybe it's the IRS

You never know

are sitting down at ringside as we are set to go for this world tag team title match

in a case. Now I have no idea who the steamboat. No idea who is Douglas. If it were the Colton

I could tell him apart. That's what I'm telling about these psychological benefits of this.

Not only do you know stunning Stephen flying Brian C. You're the mask. They know it's

But also, it's got the same effect as the Colt brothers.

If these two guys get in the ring or form and get in the ring for a few seconds,

how do you tell which one's the legal man?

Exactly.

They're going to go for the mask.

That's one way to do it, rip the mask off of them, and then you'll know.

Now that's Steamboat, you can tell by those shots.

Tag, and flying Brian is in, dropped to hold by Steamboat.

Shot at the World Tag Team Championship. Shane Douglas on the outside has been nursing an injury thanks to the

Honigwood Blinds an injury that was started right here at the Omnian Atlanta during a match at the head

Steamo chop it away, but now the Dulce Ombré's if you will in this case

Steamo

Well, he blocked himself from having his face smashed against the cage, you know, as a wrestler, I don't like cages.

To me, it's too brutal.

I mean, your skin just gets ripped, your face gets ripped, injuries are relentless.

You know, I'm in this business for the money.

Yeah, I know that.

The fans are in it for the gore.

I hate cages.

Side headlock.

I'm sure you do, speaking of legends.

Speaking of arm drag take down and right to the arm one of the greatest cage matchers

Maybe the greatest cage match of all time was in Shea Stadium with you and Bruno San Martino was it was

50,000 people thousands were turned away from Shea Stadium to watch me retire my mentor

Shane Douglas, I assume in there one of the two Bill Sombres

this psychological

Warfare as you call it Larry legends of Isco. Well, that's the only thing I can I didn't you know think about it

Other than the fact that you can't tell them apart an attacking man. We've seen it happen with the Cole brothers

Of course the black hearts basically the same thing

You cannot tell which one is the legal man and believe me that can benefit you.

The Hollywood Blinds in trouble. The Hammerlock applied by Sheen Douglas DelSombre.

And the Hammerlock still on now. This cage matches for the World Tag Team Championship.

Well there those guys are again and they are intently watching they have been taking notes.

You got me. Maybe there are potential agents for the Hollywood Blonde. How's my hair looking? As always. Thank you.

Into the midsection. They weren't looking at us. They're looking at some of these athletes. I was just kidding.

Into the midsection again. Oh boy, we're having fun and we're just getting started with our championship matches here at Slambery. Good to have you with us.

Oh and Douglas. Oh

I mean about the cage. I hate cages. It tears your body up.

You might as well wrestle a few pit bulls to get the same effect.

Those sombrays, as we saw in the main event, they're pretty good at the Mexican head dance.

Yeah, whatever. I tell you what it is, it's very intimidating.

It has to be insulting here in the eyes of Austin and Pellman to do that little jumping bean jingle there.

Because again these are the outfits they wore when they beat them in it could be just be a luck thing like a rabbit's foot

A lot of wrestlers have little superstitious things

I've got one myself. I've had the same laces on my boots since I began their parachute cord

They don't wear it. I'm a black lace

Are you serious? The same laces that you can get? The same laces? I've had for 18 glorious years those boots

Wow, Sunday I will auction for a few million after I have them bronze

That's your business plan down don't you there they go

That's what I mean about the cage you can use it as a weapon, you know your ring position

Douglas I lost track already. It's one of the two anyway deliberately

vaulted Austin

Into the cage and did it again.

It's a weapon.

Stunning Steve is hurt.

It's like making a hash out of a steak.

Wow.

Flings him against the cage.

And of course the cage is cut.

the back in the side of Studding Steve.

A member after I retired Bruno and Shea Stadium,

both of us were bleeding head to toe.

Scratches all over your body, just like a meat grinder.

I saw that match as a matter of fact.

Into the head, Austin.

It's amazing, Austin can still walk here, Larry.

Yeah, I mean, Austin, you can see him.

You can see him, he's hurt, but he's just a tenacious mad wrestler and these guys, this is for all the gold.

You've got plenty of time to be sore tomorrow. You can't let it affect you tonight.

A reversal into the corner.

The ombre drops down and a gut shot right to flying Brian is back to the...

Billman didn't have good position and he backed off of that, and again you can see why, caused the man to come in on him, and bam, that's when he makes his move.

The unexpected surprise, the team of steamboat and Douglas dressing up as Dolsan Brace, based on their win two months ago on the main event on TBS.

You hear Austin say, got his hair.

And now the Dalsa umbrates a great teamwork and that's one of the things

Steebo Douglas noted for great teamwork Larry well Ricky Steebo world class

wrestler just just full of knowledge and wisdom of course a Shane Douglas a

great student and that's what made this teamwork Douglas you know kept his pride

where it belonged when you're young and used to put your back pocket and learn

the wisdom from the season 10

just looking at that and why and Brian

I got him in the corner boy what a what a ploy that was why and Brian has

developed a very unique successful psychology here Austin's lower back is

hurt it looks like steamboat in the ring now

Sid Vicious is Gurney out here before this one's over with.

I tell you, if you see Sid Vicious while I got here,

you're going to need a whole lot of Gurneys.

Jawbreaker.

The return of Sid Vicious, the prisoner,

makes his appearance at WCW.

Two guys at ringside taking notes and shades on,

maybe looking at the Hollywood Blanche.

Maybe the reporters, magazine writers.

The induction into the Hall of Fame, some great legends matches, and it's been a night.

Could be two guys writing a book. I've been in a couple wrestling books over the past few years.

You have?

Of course I have.

Into the midsection.

Oh, yeah!

And now on the blinds, the World Tag Team Champions.

Stunning Steve having a lot of problems with that lower back.

tell you you get yourself slammed into a metal cage a few times you're gonna have

a lot of problem with your whole body but look at the movement he has stunning

Steve can pull it out he's an excellent tremendous tenacious Matt wrestler

like a human Wolverine the World Tag Team Championship steamboat in Douglas

under a mask against the Hollywood Wives

This could be at one, two, no share, no share at all.

I'd say that these teams definitely have the feel

for each other over the past few weeks.

They're in a cage where nobody can run out,

nobody can run in, this is for all the gold.

And look at Hillman and Austin,

the team work, the positioning in the corner.

Quick team work, quick tags, get the fresh man in.

I was wondering if the Blondes had their towel in with them, and that's certainly been used many times.

That's a good point. I don't see it.

Wait a minute. There it is.

I do see it.

The referee does not.

The towel that they've used so many times in with them again.

That's a choking device.

to win the World Tag Team

Championship but they was going

to be instrumental here so far

Hollywood blond or a head on

points teamwork has been

supreme they've taken some

punishment but they've overcome

it they've got Pillman in the

Freshman and he is going for the

seconds that you make sure you have your target slided in is too long and with

the cage up in the corner it's hard to focus your balance on things and that's

the way the perspective of things in your vision

Position here. They got to make a tag Austin. He's in the wrong corner. He don't know where he is

That's Douglas in the ring I can tell by that right hand

And a spine buster

He knows the way Austin get the shoulders just scooped them up. I tell you Austin

It's got the potential, it definitely in the next century

is gonna be up there receiving Legends awards

if your body makes it that long.

That's a key, isn't it?

Yeah, you've got to survive.

The singular atomic blonde that come in here.

Oh! Oh!

That's twice for Pillman.

What?

Why, they went for the high risk.

Why's it failed them?

Don't worry about the high-risk maneuvers, you're in a cage, you're not going anywhere.

Confusion. Who's legal?

match up inside of a steel cage and I'm surrounded here by some great legends

Stu Hart from Canada wrestling too and of course the natural Dusty Rhodes what

do you think about this last match just you know there's a tremendous night of

wrestling that happened here in the Omni tonight's pay-per-view throughout the

world slendering 93 to be standing out here with mr. Stu Hart and congratulations

to wrestling number two

on obtaining this Hall of Fame goal that means so much to have a wrestler around the world.

But I got one thing to say that just a little bit earlier,

I'm talking about just a little bit earlier tonight, the Dirty All Assassin came out here and he said

This other gentleman is he can well believe what this man said

He's ready. He's ready for him and for whatever he's got to take with him right along

But you know as far as the

WCW is concerned, I would like personally to

congratulate them and thank them very much for making this very honor

That I had received this evening

And we're making it possible for all the other fellas that was with me because you know we we all

contributed an awful lot to our lives and you know

this is you might say the big payoff and there's nothing that could capture this

any bigger than what it is. And we certainly appreciate having you here.

Thank you very much.

Stu Hart, a wrestling legacy in Canada. I mean wrestling is in your family, isn't it?

Yes it is. I have eight sons and they're all all wrestlers. I have four daughters and they're all

married to wrestlers. The youngest man married to D.B. Boy Smith. And the oldest tonight Hart

And then I have another daughter married to a BJ that has a big gymnasium in Calgary.

Well, let's talk about JV Boy Smith, your son-in-law tonight.

He steps out of the ring with Big Band Bader, the world heavyweight title on the line.

To say it's important is an understatement.

Yes, it is. I'm hoping him with all the luck in the world.

And JV, I figured, is one of the finest wrestlers in the world today

and one of the strongest in best-built men in the business.

Best professional wrestler and I'm hoping that with his technique and strength he'll overpower the powerful big Van Vader and

God bless them. I hope that my son in law becomes the next world champion

We'll find out later on tonight. All right the American dream dusty roads wrestling to sweetheart. It is time for the NWA title match

Ladies and gentlemen the following contest of Slamberry 93. It is for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.

It is set for one fall with a 45 minute time limit.

Introducing first the challenger from Minnesota, weighing 200 and 48 pounds, the enforcer.

Big tough ring master, no matter what you say about him,

he is one of the best in the business,

Arne Anderson.

We have seen tonight, Kelly Blanchard,

snubbed the Four Horsemen.

We have seen tonight,

pretty Paul Romig introduced us to the new Four Horsemen.

We go back to Gary.

And ladies and gentlemen, his opponent,

he's from Sweet Water Texas.

He weighs 278 pounds.

And he is the N.W.A. Wall Heavyweight Champion, Barry Windham!

It is basically a four horsemen battle, if you will.

When the man says that he is no longer a four horseman, he is the lone wolf.

That's more like the wolf versus the horse.

It sure is.

and this is you know this really has to be if you think about it the biggest

night in the career of Arne Anderson no question about it but in many ways the

biggest night in the career of Barry Wyndham his father blackjack Mulligan

competed earlier on his father is watching Barry's first world title

defense with his father in attendance and here we go

but Barry Wyndham second-generation wrestler but the whole world is watching Tony

that's the best team factor here

Arn Anderson try to get a quick one and why not you know definitely I think the most emotional match of the evening right here

Arn Anderson wants this belt more than anybody

Barry Wyndham wants to keep it more than anybody

And here they are this is the dream of both of these men

Got an able type it'll sign hitlock

The enforcer aren't Anderson who's been a world tag team champion on many occasions a world television champion, but never the man

He's gonna try again. He almost got it

So close but so far I

Say a Barry Wyndham. He's a man. You're gonna have to design a game plan

You know aren't trying to catch him off guard quick. Look at the face on Wyndham. He did catch him off guard quick

But that's not an easy thing to do

Wynnum's got the experience, Arn's got the experience.

Talk about a game of chess.

This is it.

What about Ole Anderson coming out and Paul Roma becoming the newest member of the Four Horsemen?

Well, you got me by surprise there.

I was expecting to see Tully Blanchard.

I've heard rumors of the Four Horsemen.

Of course, Tully snubbed them.

Maybe Barry Wynnum got some. I don't know.

That's what they say.

There's a good elevation by Anderson.

You know Barry Wynnum is going to do everything he can to protect that NWA title. What a crash!

Maybe Arn a little bit too anxious, Larry?

Yeah, I mean, you're talking about the emotions, the strategies.

Sometimes that bell rings and your mind goes blank, no matter how much of the preparation

when you realize the moment is here.

Arn Anderson does something he don't do. Let's walk into one.

DDT!

They have waited too long, and Wyndham rolls outside.

Well, he cranked them.

You can see Barry Wyndham's retreat proves that point.

You make a mistake against Art Anderson.

You're going to pay a big tab.

They are on the runway.

holding Wyndham back you know

both he's been they're going to

have to do is really try to put

the emotions aside try to forget

who they're in there against

there's a lot of emotions here

these guys have been involved

together for years they know

each other it's a hard thing to

overcome Jerry Wyndham's first

tag team partner in its career

was his father Blackjack

Mulligan

But now, as singles wrestler, he is the NWA champion.

About his father came very close and winning many times.

Oh, Wyndham got it.

That's a couple mistakes Anderson made so far.

Look at Wyndham here, methodical, slow.

He's the champ. He's basically on defense.

Anderson, he wants that belt.

He's gonna have to be the complete off-dash here.

That means you're prone to make more mistakes.

Got a two-count, and now Wyndham on the attack here.

She wouldn't have now.

Randall get into this one.

You're definitely not going to make Anderson any uglier.

And Arn was on the outside, not on the inside, and that occurred.

Well, Arn couldn't throw him out.

He was out.

Here's a match Jimmy the Greek wouldn't even put outside.

This is the cause of the coin between these two men.

If you're wondering about the head to the top turbo,

I'm gonna win them bleeding now.

Run him out of the head of the, or the head of the safety rail, and in WA rules, that is legal.

WCW rules, head to the...

Well obviously it's not a safety rail for the wrestlers, Wyndham is cut open.

the ring it looks like it's

going right down into his eye.

And there's our Anderson taking

advantage of it.

You have to do it.

Anderson just can't sit there.

He's got to go after it.

Here's a smart move now.

Don't waste your effort.

You got Windham hurt make him

suffer make him go down slowly

He's got a big cash.

I don't even know

if you can see under that eye.

Yeah.

The very second star case.

the referee that time Anderson may have been he said on the apron going down I

couldn't see Anderson but I saw one big eye the size of Barry Wyndham's head and

he nailed and Anderson is holding his knee and I wasn't too long ago Anderson's

knee was messed up that's right he had arthroscopic surgery but Wyndham's face

Indeed.

Wyndham, you know, losing this blood like this, Larry,

it's got to take a lot out of you, too.

Well, it depends how much you're losing.

Ed Adrenaline's going, Tony.

He's lost a lot.

You don't even realize how much blood you're losing.

You don't even think about it.

The blood on Anderson is from Barry Wyndham.

I said one of my models you got all day tomorrow to be sore, but when it counts you got to be Superman

The nwa champion in the fight of his life

Kind of like a half mass like the yeah, I was gonna say it's so sick. I don't think he's wearing a mask

Still light on his feet though the nwa champ the lone wolf

You can see Wynton trying to wipe the blood out of his hide.

I mean, he can't see.

I can't see his hide.

Anderson, he's no member of the clergy.

When he gets in trouble, he's going

to take all the cheap shots he can.

You know, in fact, really, Anderson, I don't think he wants Wyndham to bleed

if the referee stops it, there goes the bell.

There when he's back, too.

Try to pick him up.

What are we doing?

Wyndham, one, two, no.

Well, Wyndham, you know, he's six foot six.

He's tall to pick him up in certain positions.

If Wyndham throws his legs out there, he knows how to use his balance.

He's a tough man to pick up.

just everything we thought it would be and more there's so much emotion in

these guys I can't explain it I although I could feel it

the fans are rocked that's his move he needs to cover Barry Windham but

because of the blood. I don't know.

Wyndham's walking away with his NWA belt.

After that spine buster, he's had enough.

Down goes Randy Anderson.

The bleeding has basically stopped now.

Thank goodness for him.

Well, Anderson pleases the referee around.

He's going to watch him tell me.

He doesn't want to get caught up.

Yeah, he's coming close. He's coming real close.

Yeah, there you go.

I don't think he should have done that.

And he realizes that.

Most of the match, but it was just a pure adrenaline

and a part of both of these men.

Look at them go here.

That just carried this match into the ending.

It had too much emotion, Tony.

It has gotten away.

Arne Anderson let the emotions get to him.

It was too late to say you're sorry.

Barry was...

We've had a little bit of everything tonight, haven't we?

Well, I'll tell you what we had.

There was a real big mistake on the part of Arne Anderson.

Too much emotion.

I've never seen Anderson really lose his cool like that,

deliberately shove a referee.

And you could see the look on his face.

He knew he thought he was getting disqualified.

He knew he did it.

But that was just too much emotion.

You can't lose your cool.

We'll see how the Davey Boy fares.

We still have the world title Big Van Vader and Davey Boy Smith yesterday on WCW Saturday

night.

The public workout was held and Davey Boy Smith showed his power against Big Van Vader

didn't he?

Well what he did was he butted into Big Van Vader's business.

Van Vader has all the right in the world to have a public workout.

He hired sparring partners or whatever he did.

Had all the right.

stuck his nose in where it did not belong.

We've had mass men, we've had memories, legends, cages,

blood, and we've had a lot of fun.

And now the world title's on the line.

Take it away, Gary.

Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest

it is for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship

set for one fall with a one hour time limit.

Introducing first the challenger from Manchester,

And 65 pounds, Davey Boy Smith, the British Bulldog!

You know, I see a sign, a fan is holding up on the near side ring side.

You see the back of the guy there that says the British Bulldog will win the WCW title for Cactus Jack.

And yes, the memory of Cactus Jack being taken to the emergency room

You know I see one more sign that says that Davey Boy Smith might have a bed next to Cactus Jack.

And ladies and gentlemen, his opponent to be a company to the ring by former heavyweight champion Harley Race.

He's from the Rocky Mountains.

He weighs 450 pounds.

The WCW World Heavyweight Champion.

Back in the days of the Dorey Func Jr. There you see no pain.

The only man feeling pain right now, I guess, is Cactus Jack.

When you think about what happened to him, not too long ago.

But you think about Luzed, Gene Koniske, Dorey Func Jr. that we see.

Even Mad Dog Bichon, who is AWA World Heavyweight Champion.

All these men have been through this situation over and over.

That's what made them legends, Tony.

But no one's ever had to face a guy this big.

And there's a lot about wrestling and all the champions will tell you this Larry and you've been a champion too

You know the last AWA champion as you said

There's something about momentum

You cannot measure in a gymnasium, you cannot put a stack to it as far as the reach or the

weight or the number of clinches thrown, but it's something that remains.

There's no man who has a momentum like Big Ben did.

No, the man's definitely on a roll.

He's got all the takes.

He's got something else Davey Boy doesn't have and that's a man called Harley Race.

Harley Race is just busting with knowledge and wisdom.

Last night on WCW Saturday night as we talked about the collision took place

Davey Boy Smith said the hurting stops here

And he says he's doing this for cactus Jack for Joe Thurman for sting

For anyone for the men that within the last two weeks on his world tour of public workouts that big fanbader has injured

Davey Boy Smith

is wrestling for them and all

the fans his father-in-law

Stewart is here slammery.

It's time for the two big guys

to lock up a little tentative

don't you think.

Well hey this is a this is

Davey Boy Smith chance of a

lifetime right here.

He could walk out the heavyweight

champion of the world.

He could be taken out in the

the use of balance Van Vader has. You lock up with him, he spreads that legs, he gets

a wide base and that's 450 pounds of immovable man when he does that. He knows how to use

his weight.

I mean, size is not everything.

It's nice, but it's not everything.

Watch out.

Later stealing them out. I think he's getting the message that baby boy is no slouch

And the massive hands, glove hands of the World Champion.

You know, that's one thing we haven't talked too much about in his matches, the glove Vader has on him.

The what?

The glove.

Our crucifix!

in the middle of the spurt and

Vader again you know they just

coming down from that position

driving the elbow right to the

midsection of Smith that's 450

pounds and what you look for is

when the man's stomach goes up

that means it's filling with

air that's when you drop the

elbow with.

Unfortunately for Smith a couple times he had Vader in trouble.

Vader was outside the ring and he couldn't pin up.

The man.

Well the man's going back and forth here.

The power of Vader.

One thing about Vader too and we must give you credit we've talked about the power.

All right the man right now, yes that was Harley Race.

probably not giving Vader enough credit for his endurance here Larry he's

taking a tremendous beating that's been the key to his success like I said a lot

of big men suffer from lack of endurance unable to go a long time

because they are huge

He is one of those exceptions that one in a million that rare bird that is huge but can go and go, and that's what makes it so devastating.

Davey Boy Smith is bleeding for the nose.

I wonder why.

And that may be...

Yeah, he might have internal injuries.

That's right. He may be coughing up blood here.

But he could be coughing it up as Vader just smashed down twice at one time.

I saw, you know, Smith's stomach go up, which means he's full of air.

Well, that's when it hurts.

Smith not able to defend himself here.

What are you going to do?

You go try to get down.

He's going down.

He's treading, Davey Boy trying to get a foothold here, maybe just didn't vader down.

He had a problem with the corner of this button to hook on to.

Oh no.

He just threw him off, and now, the Bulldog!

He goes down too.

Bleeding for the nose.

Well he hit put it vader from the rope.

I think he knocked himself cold.

I think so too.

You know, I can't look at Smith in this angle, Tony.

He's not coughing up blood.

It looks to me like Vader broke his nose.

He's got a big bruise on his nose and it's bleeding.

Oh, he picks him up!

You're gonna have to hook Vader to hold his shoulders down.

Right, right, right, right.

You're gonna have to hook the legs.

You're right, but how much pressure and power and moves

is it gonna take to keep Big Ben Vader down for a three count?

It's gonna take a good hook.

You're gonna have to catch Vader off guard.

You're gonna have to pray, pray Smith.

Vader is hurting.

He is holding his sternum.

Well, obviously.

The right hand, and Gave catches Jack, a concussion, the full dog.

There you go! Here it is!

Oh, he tried. He didn't have a hook good enough when he rolled him back.

He just lost the hook. Invader is a huge man.

To keep him rolled up for, you know, rolled up for more than three seconds is a feat.

The athletes of yesterday and today meeting at Slamber and we have seen some

classic matches and we have seen some heavy-hitting matches. This is what it's

all about. World Championship Wrestling. The World.

Davey Boy Smith is hurt

the British Bulldogs, clawing, scraping,

trying to get back to the ring,

but the world champ don't know.

They're relentless.

Yeah, there he goes.

Just pound and spit to Olivia.

I mean, David Boyd gave it a good effort,

gave it a great effort,

but he's just getting pinnacle now.

He's just getting beat down to a pulp.

I mean, if it's too hard, head of hard,

he might come out here and throw the towel in for the shot.

Oh, absolutely not.

You're right, he's a son-in-law.

Well, no, I mean, the fact is, of the beatings you took,

and you took some beatings, everyone has in this fight.

Did you ever want to throw in the towel?

No, you never did.

No, I was never in that dire of a situation.

There's plenty of towels thrown in on my opponent,

and that's humane.

Look at Smith.

That's inhumane.

And as you can see, Clamping trying to get the British Bulldog back to his feet.

To say this match is rugged, brutal, vicious would be a mere understatement here.

into hard to hold a man down there.

Sum it up, man. What did you think of that match?

What an exciting evening.

When you put the most coveted prize and sport on the line, the world's heavyweight title,

it brings everybody up to a new level of performance.

Big Van Vader did everything it took and more to hold on to that title.

He didn't care what anybody thought about it, obviously.

So there's going to be a whole lot more to be settled between these two big men,

because I can see they're going to be destined.

to be battling a long time over the world's title.

And we've been talking about now for weeks the intensity.

And Davey Boy Smith's eyes, and we certainly

saw that intensity here tonight.

And he proved that he is one man that can take it to that 450

pound world heavyweight ship.

Man, what a match.

You know, Bader's calling himself the bow of the woods

and rightly so.

You're 400 plus pounds when you're wearing the strap

around your waist that says you're the best in the world,

then you can take names all you want.

He can walk the walk, talk the talk, and do whatever he wants inside the ring.

But as long as men like Sting and Davey Boy Smith, they're gonna stand up and meet.

Give him the challenge that he was, then that is gonna keep everybody searching for the top of the sport.

Well, Magnum, it was great to have you here with us.

And now let's get back to Tony and Larry.

Okay Eric, thank you very much and what a night it has been here in Atlanta at

Slambery. We are joined by Vern Ganya who was tonight inducted into the Hall of

Fame. Congratulations for that. It's great to be standing beside you. It's been a

great night. Great to have you part of Slambery. Well I'll tell you, this has been

something. It's been a real eye-opener. I think you have to say this after watching

this night. I think all the people at home watching this will agree with me.

I saw so much talent here tonight that I'm actually not only excited, but I'm really shocked.

I didn't realize that they had this good.

The athlete here in the WCW, I don't know why I didn't before, but certainly tonight

proved that the king of wrestling here in the world is right here in the WCW.

Larry's been a great night.

Thanks for your help, man.

Of course it has, and I'll say it one more time.

Time fears only the pyramids and the legends of professional wrestling.

Good night from Atlanta!
