A true heavyweight card plus a cavalcade of wrestling legends.
45
00:03:53,890 --> 00:03:58,030
Speaking of the legends reunion, the wrestling world is a buzz as to whether the original
46
00:03:58,030 --> 00:04:00,950
four horsemen will come together at Slamberie.
47
00:04:01,290 --> 00:04:05,250
The original four horsemen, Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Ole Anderson, and Tully Blanchard
48
00:04:05,250 --> 00:04:08,430
were a dominating force in the world of wrestling for many years.
49
00:04:08,830 --> 00:04:11,290
Later, Barry Windham joined this alliance.
50
00:04:11,770 --> 00:04:14,510
The bond between the horsemen has always been tight, however.
51
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,360
Upon Ric Flair's return to world championship wrestling, things have changed.
52
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:27,780
At Super Brawl 3, Barry Wyndham faced the great Luthor with a coveted NWA title.
53
00:04:28,460 --> 00:04:30,600
The competition was fierce.
54
00:04:31,660 --> 00:04:37,840
In the end, Barry Wyndham emerged victorious to become the new NWA world champion.
55
00:04:38,570 --> 00:04:46,970
Long time friend Rick flair delivered the belt to crown the champion. However, his reception was a bit chilly
56
00:04:47,970 --> 00:04:53,790
Since that time Wyndham has refused to comment about Rick flair later
57
00:04:54,336 --> 00:04:56,930
Arne Anderson had this to say in response
58
00:04:57,820 --> 00:05:03,580
You see Barry Wyndham, I was sitting at home the night you won the NWA title and I felt
59
00:05:03,580 --> 00:05:09,240
good for you because that's something that a man achieves once in a lifetime, sometimes
60
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:09,700
never.
61
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:15,400
And I felt good for you when Rick Flair rolled in that ring to congratulate you, I felt good
62
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,040
for him because I know what he was feeling.
63
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,820
You see, you were one of the horsemen.
64
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,640
One of the elite that was something that will live and end for me.
65
00:05:24,010 --> 00:05:30,730
it's no longer a myth though, Wyndham. You see, you snub flair every chance you get. Maybe you even
66
00:05:30,730 --> 00:05:37,350
snub the full horseman. But the one thing at this point in time, you're not going to be able to snub
67
00:05:37,350 --> 00:05:44,570
is Arne Anderson. You see, I've been reborn, Wyndham. New attitudes. I'm going to make,
68
00:05:44,750 --> 00:05:50,390
still make some people miserable, but this time it's going to be people that deserve it, namely you.
69
00:05:50,830 --> 00:05:56,050
To understand one thing, I know you're better than anybody else and maybe you do me too.
70
00:05:56,570 --> 00:06:01,770
But in some arena across this country, I'm going to wrestle you for something I've never
71
00:06:01,770 --> 00:06:08,330
had a chance in the history of my career to wrestle for, that's the NWA title.
72
00:06:08,870 --> 00:06:11,810
The fact that you're the holder just makes you the victim.
73
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,400
Finally the champion Barry Windham had something to say
74
00:06:53,770 --> 00:06:55,230
Now the match is set.
75
00:06:55,710 --> 00:06:58,330
Arne Anderson will get a shot at the NWA title
76
00:06:58,330 --> 00:07:01,130
against the champion Barry Wyndham at Slambury 93
77
00:07:01,550 --> 00:07:03,210
on May 23rd, and remember,
78
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:07,120
You can see all of this excitement live as it happens.

Contact this cable company now. Make your arrangements for pay-per-view.
80
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,400
Let's go back to Michael Hayes outside the Omni.
81
00:07:15,740 --> 00:07:18,680
Michael, you know there's been a lot of controversy amongst the ranks of the
82
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:19,080
horsemen.
83
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,220
Any speculation or signs as to whether the original horseman will
84
00:07:23,220 --> 00:07:24,980
reunite at Slambury 93?
85
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,500
Well, Gordon, first things first.
86
00:07:27,950 --> 00:07:30,170
You gotta understand the impact of such a monumental event.
87
00:07:30,250 --> 00:07:32,230
It'd be like the 69 Mets getting back together,
88
00:07:32,630 --> 00:07:33,650
the Beatles or the Eagles,
89
00:07:34,030 --> 00:07:35,750
but it's getting hot out here and I have yet
90
00:07:35,750 --> 00:07:37,890
to see any signs of the four horsemen.
91
00:07:38,030 --> 00:07:40,010
And I've been looking all around, but I'm not gonna.
92
00:07:43,170 --> 00:07:46,670
Luna, Dose, Trace, Quatro Bingo, baby.
93
00:07:46,910 --> 00:07:48,450
Ha ha ha, I don't let nut slip by me.
94
00:07:48,730 --> 00:07:49,930
I gotta get back to you, Gordon.
95
00:07:50,010 --> 00:07:51,290
I'm gonna investigate this further,
96
00:07:51,390 --> 00:07:53,170
but I think I've caught on to something.
97
00:07:53,610 --> 00:07:53,770
Ha ha.
98
00:07:56,010 --> 00:07:57,410
Thanks, Michael. Later.
99
00:07:58,530 --> 00:08:04,350
When we return, we'll look at a match build as David versus Goliath. Don't go away.
100
00:08:12,980 --> 00:08:15,640
one ring, one legendary event.
101
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,840
World Championship Wrestling presents Slam Marine 93,

for the WCW World Heavyweight title.
106
00:08:28,020 --> 00:08:30,100
And the NWA title's on the line.
107
00:08:30,340 --> 00:08:32,040
Barry Wyndham defends against Arne Anderson.
108
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,000
World Championship Wrestling Slam Marine 93,

110
00:08:42,350 --> 00:08:48,890
Welcome back. Moving now to the WCW World Heavyweight title matchup, it's David versus Goliath.
111
00:08:49,150 --> 00:08:54,670
Davy Boyce Smith will face the big man, 450 pound champion Big Van Vader.
112
00:08:55,410 --> 00:08:59,430
As champion, Big Van Vader has certainly made his presence known.
113
00:08:59,930 --> 00:09:08,630
The champion that fears no man and feels no pain is the master of delivering pain every time he steps into the ring.
114
00:09:09,950 --> 00:09:14,830
Recently, Cactus Jack fell victim to the devastating power of Big Van Vader.
115
00:09:16,010 --> 00:09:20,950
The challenger, Davey Boy Smith, has this message for Big Van Vader the Champion.
116
00:09:23,150 --> 00:09:27,510
You know Big Van Vader, I heard what he did to Cactus Jack, I talked to him last night
117
00:09:27,510 --> 00:09:29,830
on the telephone and he's in really bad shape.
118
00:09:30,410 --> 00:09:36,670
You've been hurting a lot of rest in the WCW, but come Slamber E May 23rd, I've promised
119
00:09:36,670 --> 00:09:41,250
Cactus Jack that I'm gonna hurt you bad, I'm gonna inflict pain on you, Van Vader,
120
00:09:41,390 --> 00:09:46,410
like you've never had before, come May 23rd, you and the WCW World Heavyweight Championship
121
00:09:46,410 --> 00:09:50,570
belt, he's gonna be mine at Slamber E May 23rd.
122
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,600
And that evoked this reaction from the champion Big Van Vader.
123
00:10:20,780 --> 00:10:24,460
I will keep David Boyd, Snappery 93,
124
00:10:24,940 --> 00:10:26,340
get ready to go to war,
125
00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:28,520
because that's exactly what you're going to get,
126
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:29,280
war!
127
00:10:30,020 --> 00:10:32,860
Obviously, Van Vader, with the help of former champion
128
00:10:32,860 --> 00:10:35,760
in legend Harley Race, is ready for a fight.
129
00:10:36,330 --> 00:10:40,190
Question, has Davey Boy Smith bitten off more than he can chew?
130
00:10:40,830 --> 00:10:44,290
Can he withstand the devastating powerbomb of Big Van Vader?
131
00:10:44,890 --> 00:10:47,510
Can he capture the WCW World Heavyweight title?
132
00:10:48,190 --> 00:10:52,250
We'll find out at Slambery 93 on Sunday, May 23rd.
133
00:10:52,910 --> 00:10:58,850
The countdown continues for Slambery 93 when we return, we'll hear from a couple of Hollywood
134
00:10:58,850 --> 00:11:01,030
blondes about their fame.
135
00:11:10,050 --> 00:11:12,710

140
00:11:29,510 --> 00:11:34,890
World Championship Wrestling Slam Marine 93, live Sunday May 23rd, only on pay-per-view.
141
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,540
The Unified World Tag Team title is at stake at the Slamberie.
142
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,680
The champions, stunning Steve Austin and Brian Pilman,
143
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,500
known as the Hollywood Blondes,
144
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,340
will face the former Unified World Tag Team champions,
145
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,920
Ricky Steamboat and Shane Douglas.
146
00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:57,800
The former champions enjoyed a great deal of success.
147
00:11:58,340 --> 00:12:00,180
However, at a recent title bout,
148
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,900
Pilman and Austin showed what they are made of.
149
00:12:03,820 --> 00:12:07,000
The match was heated and the fans rallied behind
150
00:12:10,060 --> 00:12:13,620
But the Blondes kept coming, using every tool in their arsenal.
151
00:12:16,780 --> 00:12:21,880
And the Hollywood Blondes went on to become the current unified World Tag Team Champions.
152
00:12:22,580 --> 00:12:27,600
Now the rematch has been signed, and the former champions have called for a special stipulation.
153
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,520
A lights out steel cage match.
154
00:12:32,180 --> 00:12:35,300
Slamberie 93, May the 23rd,

00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,280
still considers Steamboat and Douglas the real champions.
164
00:13:00,990 --> 00:13:08,130
We've heard from the challengers now from the champion Steve Brian you put your titles on the line at slamboree
165
00:13:08,130 --> 00:13:11,410
There is a special stipulation for the match a steel cage
166
00:13:11,410 --> 00:13:18,070
Care to comment. Yeah, I got a comment. This decision is barbaric a cage match
167
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,920
Steamboat calls himself a family man. These guys are so called fan favorites. They're animals
168
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:29,580
Don't they realize we got acting and modeling careers after this? They don't play football in a cage
169
00:13:29,580 --> 00:13:35,140
They don't play baseball in a cage. So why should we the Hollywood Blondes have to wrestle in a cage?
170
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:42,240
Steamboat and Douglas in the beginning. You just wanted the belt now. It's quite apparent you want our careers
171
00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:48,960

I bet you dusty roads is going to be in it, but my sources told me this is the spot

So I'll get him exclusively for this is the spot. What do you mean? No? No over there

Tell me to go over there, but I will get back.

240
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:49,820
What an incredible evening this is going to be.
241
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,660
A true heavyweight card plus a cavalcade of wrestling legends.
242
00:18:54,060 --> 00:18:58,180
Speaking of the Legends reunion, the wrestling world is a buzz as to whether the original
243
00:18:58,180 --> 00:19:01,120
four horsemen will come together at Slamberie.
244
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,400
The original four horsemen, Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Ole Anderson, and Tully Blanchard
245
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,580
were a dominating force in the world of wrestling for many years.
246
00:19:08,980 --> 00:19:11,460
Later, Barry Windham joined this alliance.
247
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,680
The bond between the horsemen has always been tight, however.
248
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,540
Upon Ric Flair's return to world championship wrestling, things have changed.
249
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:29,320
At Super Brawl 3, Barry Wyndham faced the great Muta with a coveted NWA title, and the competition
250
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:38,020
was fierce. In the end, Barry Wyndham emerged victorious to become the new NWA world champion.
251
00:19:38,700 --> 00:19:44,860
Long time friend Rick Flair delivered the belt to crown the champion however his
252
00:19:44,860 --> 00:19:52,140
reception was a bit chilly. Since that time Wyndham has refused to comment about
253
00:19:52,140 --> 00:19:57,060
Rick Flair. Later, Arne Anderson had this to say in response.
254
00:19:57,970 --> 00:20:09,830
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.
255
00:20:10,370 --> 00:20:17,190
And I felt good for you, and when Ric Flair rolled in that ring to congratulate you, I felt good for him because I know what he was feeling.
256
00:20:17,350 --> 00:20:20,630
You see, you were one of the horsemen, one of the elite.
257
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,680
That was something that will live in infamy.
258
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,980
It's no longer a myth though, Wyndham.
259
00:20:26,460 --> 00:20:29,380
You see, you snub flair every chance you get.
260
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,440
Maybe you even snub the full horseman.
261
00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:35,260
But the one thing at this point in time,
262
00:20:35,620 --> 00:20:38,340
you're not gonna be able to snub is Arne Anderson.
263
00:20:39,380 --> 00:20:41,700
You see, I've been reborn, Wyndham.
264
00:20:42,420 --> 00:20:43,200
New attitudes.
265
00:20:44,120 --> 00:20:46,260
I'm gonna still make some people miserable,
266
00:20:46,540 --> 00:20:49,580
but this time, it's gonna be people that deserve it.
267
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:56,200
So understand one thing, I know you're better than anybody else and maybe you do me too.
268
00:20:56,700 --> 00:21:01,920
But in some arena across this country, I'm going to wrestle you for something I've never
269
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:08,480
had a chance in the history of my career to wrestle for, that's the NWA title.
270
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,960
The fact that you're the holder just makes you the victim.
271
00:21:13,020 --> 00:21:16,440
Finally, the champion, Barry Windham, had something to say.
272
00:21:16,860 --> 00:21:20,740
I've been back there listening to Arn Anderson, and I have gone through enough.
273
00:21:21,140 --> 00:21:27,400
I want you to go get Arn Anderson right now and tell him I'm waiting on him.
274
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:28,380
Right now, tell him.
275
00:21:28,380 --> 00:21:29,300
Tell him yourself.
276
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,940
I will tell you myself, but go get him and I'll do it.
277
00:21:31,940 --> 00:21:33,480
Let's just turn around and tell him.
278
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,420
Now the match is set.
279
00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:02,880
Arne Anderson will get a shot at the NWA title against the champion Barry Windham at Slambury 93 on May 23rd.
280
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:03,860
And remember...
281
00:22:04,010 --> 00:22:07,250
You can see all of this excitement live as it happens.
282
00:22:07,810 --> 00:22:12,330
Contact this cable company now. Make your arrangements for pay-per-view.
283
00:22:12,890 --> 00:22:16,890
Let's go back to Michael Hayes outside the Omni. Michael, you know there's been a
284
00:22:16,890 --> 00:22:19,230
lot of controversy amongst the ranks of the horsemen.
285
00:22:19,630 --> 00:22:23,350
Any speculation or signs as to whether the original horseman will
286
00:22:23,350 --> 00:22:25,150
reunite at Slambury 93?
287
00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:32,380
Well Gordon first things first you got to understand the impact of such a monumental event it'd be like the 69 mets getting back together
288
00:22:32,380 --> 00:22:35,160
The Beatles or the Eagles, but it's getting hot out here
289
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:40,160
And I have yet to see any signs of the four horsemen and I've been looking all around, but I'm not gonna
290
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,040
Don't know does
291
00:22:45,220 --> 00:22:50,100
Trace quattro bingo, baby. I don't let nutshell it by me. I gotta get back to you Gordon
292
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:53,360
I'm gonna investigate this further, but I think I've caught on to something
293
00:22:56,170 --> 00:22:57,550
Thanks, Michael. Later.
294
00:22:58,650 --> 00:23:04,510
When we return, we'll look at a match build as David versus Goliath. Don't go away.
295
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,800
One ring, one legendary event.
296
00:23:16,100 --> 00:23:18,980
World Championship Wrestling presents Slammary 93.
297
00:23:19,260 --> 00:23:23,240
Live Sunday May 23rd, the greatest legends in the history of wrestling reunite.
298
00:23:23,580 --> 00:23:27,940
Plus Davy Boy Smith challenges big fan fader for the WCW World Heavyweight Title.
299
00:23:28,180 --> 00:23:32,180
And the NWA titles on the line, Barry Wyndham defends against Arne Anderson.
300
00:23:32,620 --> 00:23:37,960
World Championship Wrestling Slammary 93, live Sunday May 23rd, only on pay-per-view.
301
00:23:42,510 --> 00:23:49,030
Welcome back. Moving now to the WCW World Heavyweight title matchup, it's David versus Goliath.
302
00:23:49,310 --> 00:23:54,670
Davy Boy Smith will face the big man, 450 pound champion Big Van Vader.
303
00:23:55,350 --> 00:23:59,450
As champion, Big Van Vader has certainly made his presence known.
304
00:24:00,290 --> 00:24:08,750
The champion that fears no man and feels no pain is the master of delivering pain every time he steps into the ring.
305
00:24:09,340 --> 00:24:15,020
Recently, Cactus Jack fell victim to the devastating power of Big Van Vader.
306
00:24:16,100 --> 00:24:21,080
The challenger Davey Boy Smith has this message for Big Van Vader the Champion.
307
00:24:23,300 --> 00:24:26,100
You know, Big Van Vader, I heard what he did to Cactus Jack.
308
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,960
I talked to him last night on the telephone and he's in really bad shape.
309
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:35,800
You've been hurting a lot of rest in the WCW, but come Slamber E May 23rd.
310
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,420
I promise Cactus Jack that I'm going to hurt you bad.
311
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,360
I'm going to inflict pain on you, Van Vader, like you've never had before.
312
00:24:43,020 --> 00:24:48,000
Come May 23rd, you and the WCW World Heavyweight Championship belt, he's going to be mine
313
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,740
at Slamber E May 23rd.
314
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,740
And that evoked this reaction from the champion Big Van Vader.
315
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:29,440
I will keep David Boyd's temporary 93 get ready to go to war because that's exactly what you're going to get, war!
316
00:25:30,100 --> 00:25:35,940
Obviously Van Vader with the help of former champion and legend Harley Race is ready for a fight.
317
00:25:36,490 --> 00:25:40,350
Question, has Davey Boy Smith bitten off more than he can chew?
318
00:25:40,990 --> 00:25:44,430
Can he withstand the devastating powerbomb of Big Van Vader?
319
00:25:45,030 --> 00:25:47,670

The Unified World Tag Team title is at stake at the Slamberie.
334
00:26:44,250 --> 00:26:46,830
The champions, stunning Steve Austin and Brian Pillman,
335
00:26:47,210 --> 00:26:51,490
known as the Hollywood Blonds, will face the former Unified World Tag Team champions,

Ricky Steamboat and Shane Douglas.
337
00:26:54,930 --> 00:26:57,950
The former champions enjoyed a great deal of success.
338
00:26:58,490 --> 00:27:00,330
However, at a recent title bout,
339
00:27:00,650 --> 00:27:03,110
Pillman and Austin showed what they are made of.
340
00:27:03,990 --> 00:27:08,710
The match was heated and the fans rallied behind Steve Boat and Douglas.
341
00:27:10,220 --> 00:27:13,760
But the Blondes kept coming using every tool in their arsenal.
342
00:27:16,940 --> 00:27:22,020
And the Hollywood Blondes went on to become the current unified World Tag Team Champions.
343
00:27:22,740 --> 00:27:27,760
Now the rematch has been signed and the former champions have called for a special stipulation.
344
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,660
A lights out steel cage match.
345
00:27:32,330 --> 00:27:35,430

Let's see which team is of the 90s.
349
00:27:44,390 --> 00:27:45,770
You know, Hollywood Blondes, you come out here
350
00:27:45,770 --> 00:27:47,830
and have the audacity to call yourselves
351
00:27:47,830 --> 00:27:49,230
the legends of the 90s.
352
00:27:49,330 --> 00:27:52,870

still considers Steamboat and Douglas the real champions.
356
00:28:01,140 --> 00:28:08,200
We've heard from the challengers now from the champion Steve Brian you put your titles on the line at slamboree
357
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,560
There is a special stipulation for the match a steel cage
358
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:18,220
Care to comment. Yeah, I got a comment. This decision is barbaric a cage match
359
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:24,040
Steamboat calls himself a family man. These guys are so called fan favorites. They're animals
360
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:29,720
Don't they realize we got acting and modeling careers after this? They don't play football in a cage
361
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:35,220
They don't play baseball in a cage. So why should we the Hollywood Blondes after wrestling a cage?
362
00:28:35,620 --> 00:28:42,300
Steamboat and Douglas in the beginning. You just wanted the belt now. It's quite apparent you want our careers
363
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:50,520

Tony, electricity has filled this omni.
386
00:31:35,410 --> 00:31:37,130
I feel like a little kid myself.
387
00:31:37,510 --> 00:31:40,230
I'm looking at men that were my inspiration.
388
00:31:40,310 --> 00:31:43,010
When I was a kid, I'm looking at men like the Crusher,
389
00:31:43,350 --> 00:31:46,990
who instilled terror in my heart when I was 10 years old.
390
00:31:47,330 --> 00:31:49,890
I'll tell you what I discovered the last two days with these guys,
391
00:31:50,350 --> 00:31:51,150
and that is this.
392
00:31:51,590 --> 00:31:54,230
Time fears only the pyramids
393
00:31:54,230 --> 00:31:57,110
and the legends of professional wrestling.
394
00:32:00,110 --> 00:32:05,570
by the world heavyweight title we saw the collision yesterday big van vader going
395
00:32:05,570 --> 00:32:09,190
up against the British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith this is the big night for Davey
396
00:32:09,190 --> 00:32:13,410
Boy Smith all I can say is I hope he brought his kryptonite fans we are
397
00:32:13,410 --> 00:32:16,770
having a tremendous event Jesse the body Ventura is in the hospital he is not
398
00:32:16,770 --> 00:32:20,230
here tonight he is recuperating he'll be back with us very soon here world
399
00:32:20,230 --> 00:32:24,770
championship wrestling but let's kick things off as we told you standing by is
400
00:35:10,190 --> 00:35:11,930
doing some of the ledges that are here tonight.
401
00:35:12,130 --> 00:35:13,490
I'll have that opportunity as well.
402
00:35:13,810 --> 00:35:15,810
Certainly we have to address Sting.
403
00:35:15,950 --> 00:35:20,110
We found out yesterday that Scott Flash Norton,
404
00:35:20,210 --> 00:35:22,610
the man that came to WCW and said he wanted respect.
405
00:35:22,850 --> 00:35:23,910
Well, he got more than respect.
406
00:35:24,290 --> 00:35:27,630
He got the attention of a man they call the prisoner.
407
00:35:28,130 --> 00:35:30,750
And tonight, right here on Pay Per View,
408
00:35:31,290 --> 00:35:34,030
it will be Sting taking on the prisoner.
409
00:35:39,540 --> 00:35:42,460
Obviously, we've had a little bit of a technical difficulty here.
410
00:35:42,700 --> 00:35:44,700
We haven't had a chance to talk to Sting, Missy.
411
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,220
I know that he's got a lot of things on his mind.
412
00:35:47,540 --> 00:35:49,780
Certainly, this changes his plans for the evening.
413
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:50,760
It sure does.
414
00:35:50,980 --> 00:35:52,920
I mean, you know, he was going to wrestle someone else,
415
00:35:53,020 --> 00:35:53,800
and he had it in his mind.
416
00:35:53,860 --> 00:35:55,100
He wanted to wrestle someone else.
417
00:35:55,340 --> 00:35:57,540
But, you know, he's got to prepare now for someone
418
00:35:57,540 --> 00:35:59,200
we only know as the prisoner.
419
00:35:59,820 --> 00:36:02,300
And, of course, we got the World Heavyweight Title on the line.
420
00:36:02,420 --> 00:36:03,560
We've been talking about it.
421
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,060
Big Van Vader, the man who is...
422
00:36:06,630 --> 00:36:10,850
Become famous or infamous if you will for injuring his opponents.
423
00:36:11,030 --> 00:36:12,110
Hey, we got the power back up.
424
00:36:12,410 --> 00:36:16,050
Of course, Cactus Jack, his most recent victim.
425
00:36:16,250 --> 00:36:18,730
But there's guys like Joe Thurman, Ron Simmons,
426
00:36:18,970 --> 00:36:20,290
a former heavyweight champion of the world.
427
00:36:20,470 --> 00:36:23,570
But, hey, Davey Boy Smith said this is it, end of the line.
428
00:36:23,770 --> 00:36:25,730
Well, that's right. I think Davey Boy Smith, I mean,
429
00:36:25,870 --> 00:36:29,330
what I saw last week on WCW when he picked up Big Van Bader,
430
00:36:29,610 --> 00:36:32,270
took him clear across the ring and just threw him down.
431
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:38,560
I think Big Van Bader is going to go for a match tonight that might be a turning point.
432
00:36:39,060 --> 00:36:43,720
What about the cage match, the World Tag Team Titles on the line, Ricky the Dragon, Steve
433
00:36:43,720 --> 00:36:48,840
Boat, Shane Douglas, stepping into the ring with Pillman and Austin, the Hollywood Blondes.
434
00:36:48,900 --> 00:36:51,200
I know that you've got a lot in common with the Hollywood Blondes.
435
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:55,640
Well, I just think they are just so sexy and just, I think the Hollywood Blondes are just
436
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,060
absolutely the best team of the 90s.
437
00:37:00,430 --> 00:37:03,330
Hollywood chick to like kind of walk out there and hang out there with the easy
438
00:37:03,330 --> 00:37:07,750
missy easy settle down missy settle down and of course we've got the great
439
00:37:07,750 --> 00:37:12,230
legends matches coming up we know of course that it's going to be Dory
440
00:37:12,230 --> 00:37:19,090
funk junior representing the NWA stepping into the ring with the former
441
00:37:19,090 --> 00:37:23,170
heavyweight champion of the world from the AWA Nick Buckwinkle
442
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:32,980
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
443
00:37:34,730 --> 00:37:44,970
Ladies and gentlemen, the first contest of Slamberay 93 Tag Team Action set for one fall with a 20-minute time limit.
444
00:37:45,210 --> 00:37:51,450
Introducing team number one, first from Huntsville, Alabama, weighing 233 pounds.
445
00:37:52,090 --> 00:37:54,690
Beautiful Bobby!
446
00:37:55,790 --> 00:38:00,830
His Tag Team partner from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, 224 pounds.
447
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:14,400
making their way to the ring as we are underway with action here at Slammary 93 live on pay-per-view
448
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:19,160
Tony Shimani, the legendary Zubisco, a veteran duo right here as we go back to Gary Coppett
449
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:20,140
and the introduction of their opponents.
450
00:38:20,860 --> 00:38:24,680
And ladies and gentlemen, their opponents, first from Denver, Colorado,
451
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:30,300
weighing 231 pounds to Cole Scorpio.
452
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:35,260
His tag team partner, WTW Rooksy of the Year.
453
00:38:35,900 --> 00:38:40,940
Ladies and gentlemen, Marcus Alexander Buckwell.
454
00:39:16,230 --> 00:39:17,810
This is a mega break time.
455
00:39:19,210 --> 00:39:21,050
And I would think, really, based on
456
00:39:21,050 --> 00:39:22,470
we've got two veterans in the quarter,
457
00:39:22,650 --> 00:39:23,990
and beautiful Bobby and Chris Benoit.
458
00:39:24,190 --> 00:39:26,110
Bobby is really the senior member of this team.
459
00:39:26,450 --> 00:39:28,730
But really, as far as teams are concerned, Larry.
460
00:39:29,390 --> 00:39:34,790
The team that's been together the longest has to be too cold and baggy even though they're the youngest team age-wise
461
00:39:34,790 --> 00:39:40,730
Yeah, but you can't beat experience just talk to any one of these legends here Tony. They'll tell you
462
00:39:40,730 --> 00:39:46,630
Bobby eating textbook tag team expert basically made a career on tag team
463
00:39:46,630 --> 00:39:51,610
So the knowledge he can transfer to Benoit and incorporate is immeasurable
464
00:39:52,232 --> 00:39:54,950
Ben why in there with two cold shorter block
465
00:39:56,090 --> 00:39:57,170
over the top
466
00:39:59,500 --> 00:40:00,080
Parkway. Look at that.
467
00:40:23,540 --> 00:40:26,660
tremendous win for two called Scorpio. One of the greatest matches that we've
468
00:40:26,660 --> 00:40:30,900
ever had in WCW on paper view. Let's say this is an excellent match here, but
469
00:40:30,900 --> 00:40:35,760
these guys have to go right there. I was going to say compete with the experience.
470
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,600
They're going to have to use all their attributes, all their speed.
471
00:40:39,140 --> 00:40:42,220
Ho! Ben White ducks.
472
00:40:59,660 --> 00:41:03,440
They have to take their game plan to Benoit and beautiful Bobby.
473
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,120
They have to make these guys wrestle their style, their way.
474
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:13,300
That's easy said, hard to do, because like I said, Bobby, he's tag team perfect in there.
475
00:41:15,060 --> 00:41:18,700
Benoit the Canadian who has had a tremendous amount of success in Japan
476
00:41:19,204 --> 00:41:24,220
Join a lot of success here in World Championship wrestling as well and here is your your veteran
477
00:41:24,220 --> 00:41:27,780
Who has had his problems as of late with one Arne Anderson as well
478
00:41:27,780 --> 00:41:32,120
He and Arne Anderson were tremendous tag team Arne Anderson is a problem
479
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,580
You you have a lot of problem with you might know there's up on top
480
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:40,240
Full arm dragon twist Larry of course joins us each and every Sunday on the main event on TV
481
00:41:40,240 --> 00:41:41,400
It's good to have you with us
482
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,400
Jesse is back in the hospital bed in Minnesota watching this
483
00:41:46,900 --> 00:41:48,240
No better him than me
484
00:41:49,700 --> 00:41:55,060
Bobby down on one knee now back up Nick Patrick the referee assigned tremendous crowd on hand here at the army
485
00:41:55,060 --> 00:41:57,880
It's been a great weekend for all of us. We'll talk more about that
486
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,000
Then what caught Bagwell
487
00:42:06,490 --> 00:42:11,610
Well, what happened? I think Nick Patrick is going to allow the match to continue. That was inadvertent
488
00:42:15,750 --> 00:42:19,490
They back body drop a track kick from Bagwell and now once again
489
00:42:20,630 --> 00:42:26,750
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
490
00:42:26,750 --> 00:42:33,010
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
491
00:42:33,690 --> 00:42:38,070
I tell you too cold Scorpio and Bagwell so far the game plan is working fine
492
00:42:40,210 --> 00:42:47,050
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
493
00:42:47,050 --> 00:42:48,650
Champions, of course after this night is over
494
00:42:48,650 --> 00:42:53,770
We could have steamboat and and Shane Douglas as the new world tag team champions as they will erect a cage
495
00:42:53,770 --> 00:42:57,390
Around the ring here with a world tag title not only for the tag title
496
00:42:57,390 --> 00:43:00,770
But to finally settle the differences in the grudges between those two teams
497
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:05,320
That was interesting in the in the back dressing room area is there Tony
498
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,500
I don't know if you've noticed that I did how these young guys like Bagwell
499
00:43:08,500 --> 00:43:13,480
I noticed Scorpio a few other guys talking to Lou says talking to Dory from talking about Winkle
500
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:19,860
Trying to gain every ounce of knowledge and wisdom they can because believe me there is centuries of wisdom here
501
00:43:20,580 --> 00:43:22,608
into the ropes a
502
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,400
Clothing four on that time and what's the gap of the third time in this match?
503
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:32,860
Kind of a misdirection play, the referee's looking the other way, somebody hits the ropes and Benoit and beautiful Bobby go to work.
504
00:43:33,180 --> 00:43:37,860
One of the most important aspects of tag team is knowing your ring positioning.
505
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,040
That's what Eaton and Benoit are masters of here.
506
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,900
You know, you talk about the great legends the youngsters were talking to earlier.
507
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,660
There's some great legendary tag teams in the back as well.
508
00:43:49,250 --> 00:43:50,930
Greg Ganya, Jim Brunzel.
509
00:43:51,230 --> 00:43:52,210
The High Flyers.
510
00:43:52,290 --> 00:43:54,970
Absolutely, they're AWA Tag Team Champions.
511
00:43:55,350 --> 00:43:56,690
Superfly Jimmy Snook is here.
512
00:43:56,950 --> 00:44:00,390
He and Paul Orndorf were NWA World Tag Team Champions.
513
00:44:00,630 --> 00:44:04,210
Blackjack Mulligan and Dick Murlock were NWA World Tag Team Champions.
514
00:44:04,290 --> 00:44:06,070
So some legendary teams here as well.
515
00:44:06,610 --> 00:44:07,850
And Bobby back in now.
516
00:44:08,130 --> 00:44:09,330
Plants, Bagwell.
517
00:44:14,790 --> 00:44:16,110
Eaton's going for it.
518
00:44:16,530 --> 00:44:17,870
He's going to try to end it right here.
519
00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:30,640
With the knee it will have been a disqualification, but he got him right on the chest right around the sternum area
520
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,000
I believe and now been lying
521
00:44:41,940 --> 00:44:43,060
First been why
522
00:44:45,620 --> 00:44:52,220
Well, he is a tremendous all-around athlete and also a man who
523
00:44:52,780 --> 00:44:56,820
As he slugs away, I was going to call him a great scientific wrestler as well, but he's brawling right now.
524
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,900
Well, he's the great scientific wrestler. He knows all the moves, but he can brawl.
525
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:01,840
Up on top.
526
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:03,700
He's like a human dynamo.
527
00:45:04,940 --> 00:45:06,260
It's a tremendous amount of energy.
528
00:45:07,020 --> 00:45:08,920
He goes 100% in each and every match.
529
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,680
And he feels it's over. Maybe waits too much time there.
530
00:45:12,900 --> 00:45:13,120
Yeah.
531
00:45:13,620 --> 00:45:14,560
That bagwell got out.
532
00:45:19,060 --> 00:45:20,640
And Bobby back in once again.
533
00:45:22,820 --> 00:45:26,700
Robby has to be considered in many standards a legend in WCW
534
00:45:27,420 --> 00:45:28,960
member of the Midnight Express
535
00:45:29,740 --> 00:45:32,680
Well, and of course he and Arne Anderson. Here's a cover one
536
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:39,740
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
537
00:45:39,740 --> 00:45:41,960
But here's another legendary tag team performer
538
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:48,420
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
539
00:45:48,420 --> 00:45:50,080
Once again, the referee
540
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:56,200
and then what I said he's a he's a tag team master he's the ring general there
541
00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:00,480
in terms of him and then so it's gonna be a smooth game plan whatever Bobby
542
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:04,120
eating you know the size of strategy should be that's what Ben was gonna go
543
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:08,140
with beautiful Bobby will be right about it believe me one of these strong
544
00:46:08,140 --> 00:46:12,240
points of the team a bag well and too cold have been there not only their
545
00:46:12,240 --> 00:46:19,760
determination their enthusiasm here's a cover one we got a two count that time
546
00:46:20,110 --> 00:46:23,530
but their grit and determination, their never-say-die attitude,
547
00:46:23,890 --> 00:46:25,850
much like Sting and Singles' competition,
548
00:46:26,250 --> 00:46:28,770
these two young men never give up in tag team wrestling,
549
00:46:29,110 --> 00:46:31,890
and now they're really being taken to the rope tier, so to speak,
550
00:46:32,170 --> 00:46:33,550
because they're hitting them with everything.
551
00:46:34,010 --> 00:46:36,810
Boy, good hold here by Benoit, thinking four on that head,
552
00:46:37,130 --> 00:46:40,170
but notice the important part, the ring positioning.
553
00:46:40,670 --> 00:46:42,450
That's the secret of tag team.
554
00:46:43,050 --> 00:46:45,270
Here's the frustration on Scorpio builds up,
555
00:46:45,530 --> 00:46:47,310
but Patrick's got to shove him out of there.
556
00:46:48,220 --> 00:46:50,940
Benoit is in the right place at the right time.
557
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,520
What a way to open up Slammary 93, a legendary union.
558
00:46:56,740 --> 00:46:59,060
You're watching live on Pay Per View.
559
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:00,940
Tony Shimani in the legendary Zubisco.
560
00:47:01,380 --> 00:47:04,640
And we have a tremendous program ahead of us still to come.
561
00:47:04,980 --> 00:47:05,980
What a way to begin things.
562
00:47:06,260 --> 00:47:08,940
And the youngsters really being put to the test here.
563
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:10,960
You know, tremendous isn't the word, Tony.
564
00:47:11,100 --> 00:47:11,520
You know what it is?
565
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:12,340
Oh, look at that.
566
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:13,960
A former The Root Awakening that time.
567
00:47:14,180 --> 00:47:15,040
It's a classic.
568
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:15,440
Go.
569
00:47:15,700 --> 00:47:16,140
One.
570
00:47:17,620 --> 00:47:23,420
I'll tell you, the video of this event is going to become a collector's item.
571
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:25,140
No question about that.
572
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:32,120
We'll be talking a little bit later on about the tremendous weekend we've had here in Atlanta, Georgia.
573
00:47:32,860 --> 00:47:35,720
This is just the culmination of a tremendous weekend.
574
00:49:33,580 --> 00:49:39,260
In the past couple of weeks we have seen a man we had never seen before named Colonel Rob Parker
575
00:49:39,260 --> 00:49:43,280
who had been coming on WCW Saturday night looking for a brand new superstar.
576
00:49:43,620 --> 00:49:45,800
He came looking for one heavy metal van hammer.
577
00:49:47,500 --> 00:49:52,380
What he saw because the legendary expression never to look a gift horse in the mouth, right?
578
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:57,560
All right, well Van Hammer being the level of experience this man is if I was him
579
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:59,340
I would have took the good Colonel's advice
580
00:49:59,340 --> 00:50:01,700
I think Van Hammer made a big mistake
581
00:50:01,700 --> 00:50:07,660
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
582
00:50:07,660 --> 00:50:09,120
unkind things to say about him
583
00:50:09,370 --> 00:50:13,150
put his hands on the colonel and then the colonel went out and found his own
584
00:50:13,150 --> 00:50:16,230
super star. Again, very rude of Van Hammer
585
00:50:16,230 --> 00:50:20,410
to grab someone smaller than he is. Well, maybe so, but
586
00:50:20,410 --> 00:50:25,590
we are awaiting Colonel Parker's athlete. It's a special added match. We didn't
587
00:50:25,590 --> 00:50:27,990
expect you here at Slambery, but we are set to go
588
00:50:27,990 --> 00:50:31,810
as heavy metal Van Hammer will be coming to the ring and we'll find out who his opponent will be.
589
00:50:33,070 --> 00:50:38,070
Ladies and gentlemen the following contest it is set for one fall with a 20
590
00:50:38,070 --> 00:50:47,270
minute time limit. Introducing first from New York City weighing 200 and 91
591
00:50:47,270 --> 00:50:56,730
pounds heavy metal Ben Hamer. Heavy metal Ben Hamer
592
00:50:58,350 --> 00:51:03,330
Looking as awesome as other. There's no doubt about it that he is a tremendous athletic specimen
593
00:51:03,330 --> 00:51:08,710
And that's what Colonel Rob Parker had heard about the size and the ability of heavy metal van hammer
594
00:51:08,710 --> 00:51:15,690
He definitely has the potential big man very well conditioned athlete as all it takes he needs guidance
595
00:51:16,710 --> 00:51:20,410
And now ladies and gentlemen to introduce the opponent
596
00:51:21,152 --> 00:51:23,750
Colonel Rob Parker
597
00:51:28,780 --> 00:51:34,560
much like yourself Larry doesn't know when to stop talking. Colonel Rob Parker hey well hey okay
598
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:42,200
we're one for one. Making his way here. It's a big night for him where he was all smiles in the
599
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:47,000
locker room area. Every dog has his day. Van Hammer had his chance.
600
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:05,240
You and I had a disagreement, you came over to me and you physically assaulted me, bruising
601
00:52:05,240 --> 00:52:06,160
my feelings.
602
00:52:07,140 --> 00:52:12,760
I told you then, that's the biggest mistake you're ever gonna make in your entire life.
603
00:52:13,300 --> 00:52:19,920
I also told you that you could drive your taxi cab and get you another way down here
604
00:52:25,310 --> 00:52:27,670
Come on, boys, get it on down here for him.
605
00:52:29,330 --> 00:52:30,970
Well, here comes the gurney.
606
00:52:31,530 --> 00:52:32,390
Bring it right up here.
607
00:52:34,130 --> 00:52:35,930
That was called a stretcher.
608
00:52:36,750 --> 00:52:40,350
Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce to you now
609
00:52:40,992 --> 00:52:45,130
a 300 pound from Memphis, Tennessee.
610
00:52:46,030 --> 00:52:50,330
All of you, get off on your feet in a show of respect
611
00:52:51,170 --> 00:52:54,190
for the man that rules the world.
612
00:52:54,810 --> 00:52:55,450
BEEP!
613
00:54:59,980 --> 00:55:05,920
Thanks a lot Tony and I am here with two tremendous legends, formerly from Minneapolis, now living
614
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:10,960
in Dallas, Texas, Mr. Red Bass Steen and of course, Bugsy McGraw and I want to start
615
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:16,040
off talking to you, Mr. Bass Steen, what are you feeling so far about Slambery 93?
616
00:55:16,460 --> 00:55:20,860
It's wonderful, but when I look at guys like Sid Fish, it makes me awful happy that I'm
617
00:55:20,860 --> 00:55:21,760
not wrestling anymore.
618
00:55:22,220 --> 00:55:26,100
These guys are bigger, stronger and faster, good time to retire for me.
619
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:35,160
You're a fixture here at WCW for a long, long time, what do you make of this return of Sid Vicious?
620
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,780
Really, what I was sitting here, and I could not really believe my man.
621
00:55:39,140 --> 00:55:42,740
Sid Vicious, you understand me, I've been around this business a while.
622
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,920
I've been in some battles, I spilled some blood, Sid Vicious.
623
00:55:46,240 --> 00:55:49,420
You're the biggest, most awesome looking wrestler I've ever seen.
624
00:55:49,740 --> 00:55:54,140
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.
625
00:55:54,340 --> 00:55:57,760
Understand, Slamber E93, I'm excited, of course, I'm here.
626
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,760
You should be excited, too. I want to say hi to my mom and my dad.
627
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,940
To Jared Gray of Florida and everybody else around here.
628
00:56:04,180 --> 00:56:08,080
It's been nice to see you and Eric. You got on too much makeup, baby. Bye.
629
00:56:10,100 --> 00:56:10,900
Bugsie McGrod.
630
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:12,520
Handle it well.
631
00:56:12,700 --> 00:56:13,280
You wear it well.
632
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:14,780
I want to say hello to Oliver Bastien
633
00:56:14,780 --> 00:56:15,920
up in Keltier, Minnesota.
634
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:16,900
Take care, Eric.
635
00:56:17,100 --> 00:56:17,600
All right.
636
00:56:17,740 --> 00:56:18,720
Enjoy the rest of the weekend
637
00:56:18,720 --> 00:56:20,220
and let's get back down to the ring.
638
00:56:20,970 --> 00:56:25,110
Ladies and gentlemen the following is the first of three
639
00:56:25,816 --> 00:56:34,590
Legends matches. It is the legends six-man tag team match set for one fall with a 15-minute time limit
640
00:56:35,290 --> 00:56:38,110
Introducing first from Waxahatchee, Texas
641
00:56:39,016 --> 00:56:45,290
278 pounds one half of the world famous Texas Outlaws dirty dick
642
00:56:45,290 --> 00:56:47,990
Murdock Sunset Beach, Hawaii
643
00:56:51,250 --> 00:57:00,850
Magnificent, Dunne, Morocco, and from the Fiji Islands, 251 pounds, the Superfly, Jimmy
644
00:57:02,450 --> 00:57:02,760
Snooker!
645
00:57:05,330 --> 00:57:05,950
Three!
646
00:57:06,730 --> 00:57:08,970
And we said the word so much but it really re-
647
00:57:09,420 --> 00:57:15,824
legends to begin things and our first legends match up Murdoch, Don Morocco and
648
00:57:16,580 --> 00:57:20,740
the Superfly Jimmy Stucco maybe a little bad blood here as we saw yesterday on
649
00:57:20,740 --> 00:57:22,220
WCW Saturday night Larry
650
00:57:22,750 --> 00:57:32,130
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.
651
00:57:32,770 --> 00:57:45,150
And ladies and gentlemen, the three opponents, the three legends, first from the University of Oklahoma, 260 pounds, Chief Wahoo McDaniel!
652
00:57:58,540 --> 00:58:04,820
Eagle Pass, Texas, 307 pounds, Black Jack Mulligan.
653
00:58:06,380 --> 00:58:11,300
And from White Bear Lake, Minnesota, 227 pounds.
654
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,100
Jump in, Jim Brunzel.
655
00:58:18,570 --> 00:58:23,810
It's a legend six-man tag match and Slambery continues and we have had surprises
656
00:58:23,810 --> 00:58:27,390
We have had moves we've never seen before we are seeing legends
657
00:58:27,390 --> 00:58:34,570
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
658
00:58:34,570 --> 00:58:40,550
Duo actually the trio of Wahoo on your left in the center Jimmy Jim Brunzel and blackjack Mulligan
659
00:58:41,176 --> 00:58:42,850
apparently Brunzel and
660
00:58:42,850 --> 00:58:46,790
Don Morocco have had their problems in the past
661
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:50,460
in the kind of manifesto yesterday at Slam Meet.
662
00:58:51,270 --> 00:58:57,336
Well, I can't be sure, but I think it had something to do with Morocco stealing one of Brunzel's
663
00:58:58,010 --> 00:58:59,730
Girlfriends years ago. It could be a rumor
664
00:59:00,250 --> 00:59:05,670
You never know you never in this sport. You never know. Okay, the Superfly gym, you know what the wild thing is tonight
665
00:59:05,670 --> 00:59:11,050
These legends, you know, these guys are retired. They're here. They really don't care about anything can happen
666
00:59:11,050 --> 00:59:15,570
Oh, and it's no skin off of them. Right. I know they they don't work for WCW
667
00:59:15,570 --> 00:59:17,530
Real quick
668
00:59:19,220 --> 00:59:23,720
Superfly and Brunzel Brunzel with the drop till whole takedown Jim Brunzel and
669
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:27,600
Greg Gania became a WA tag team champions for the very first time back in
670
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:33,040
1975 defeating Blackjack Lanza and bad boy Bobby Duncan speaking of a Blackjack
671
00:59:33,580 --> 00:59:37,560
Blackjack Mulligan takes a hold of Superfly Jimmy Snooker.
672
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:43,700
It's amazing how Mulligan he is as big as he ever was and take a look at Snooker.
673
00:59:45,310 --> 00:59:52,190
Not not a year went by that mark this man. He looks as good as he ever did the super flying Jimmy snooker
674
00:59:52,190 --> 00:59:55,610
Who was a great tag team champion? I talked about he and Paul Orndorff 1978
675
00:59:55,610 --> 01:00:01,090
They were all tag team champions and one of Mulligan's old tag team partners dirty dick Murdoch going at it here
676
01:00:01,090 --> 01:00:08,010
Against the big cowboy and here we go. The two Texans are in there's not gonna be much of a wrestling match here
677
01:00:08,010 --> 01:00:11,970
They're gonna fight it out. Okay. Here's two guys that could make sure there's not much of the Omni left
678
01:00:13,390 --> 01:00:19,010
Shorter Black Mulligan goes down, Murdoch over the top, he stepped off him over the top, and Mulligan with a hip toss.
679
01:00:19,950 --> 01:00:23,290
The master of the claw takes, stick Murdoch down.
680
01:00:24,790 --> 01:00:28,370
I tell you, Blackjack throws that weight around and he knows how to do it.
681
01:00:28,610 --> 01:00:31,350
He's got a lot of weight to throw, I see Murdoch fly over.
682
01:00:36,300 --> 01:00:43,980
And Arndorff became World Tag Team Champions in 1977, Mulligan and Dick Murdoch were the NWA World Tag Team Champions.
683
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:47,280
You know every little detail from before I was born, don't you?
684
01:00:47,380 --> 01:00:59,220
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.
685
01:01:03,300 --> 01:01:10,340
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
686
01:01:12,420 --> 01:01:14,280
And why who McDaniel I
687
01:01:15,460 --> 01:01:17,780
Could tell you stories that would take me weeks
688
01:01:18,660 --> 01:01:23,040
This man right here chief while he could write a book you'd have to label it science fiction
689
01:01:24,390 --> 01:01:30,110
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
690
01:01:30,110 --> 01:01:34,130
I guess they got a tag in and Morocco scheduled to come in
691
01:01:37,990 --> 01:01:43,870
Not many people know this but did you know Morocco began as a before he was a professional wrestler
692
01:01:43,870 --> 01:01:49,890
He was an underwater photographer a professional surfer and Lord James Blair's who was our master of ceremonies
693
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:55,780
Just last night for slam piece with the one who guided this man's career in the ring. I knew that
694
01:01:56,620 --> 01:01:57,880
Morocco is in against
695
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:01,780
Maybe the most famous
696
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:07,328
Football player turn wrestler of all time look at Wahoo showing his power and
697
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:13,280
Morocco quickly goes back to the corner what they smart move by Morocco, you know that that
698
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:20,400
Chief is that Indian blood cooking and he just smokes out there, Morocco did the smart thing and shut off that momentum.
699
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:25,940
Chief Wahoo McDaniel, U.S. Heavyweight Champion, Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Champion.
700
01:02:26,100 --> 01:02:28,380
Keith Paul Jones were the World Tag Team Champions?
701
01:02:29,550 --> 01:02:36,090
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
702
01:02:36,090 --> 01:02:41,470
Triple team so to speak with the referee Randy Anderson trying to control things and down the rock go
703
01:02:41,470 --> 01:02:46,330
Who was voted a WA rookie of the year in 71 is working over Wahoo, McDaniel
704
01:02:49,710 --> 01:02:56,190
Into the midsection interesting thing here is all these guys know all the tricks Tony
705
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:06,460
Since Wahoo, boy, their strategy is pretty simple here, Larry.
706
01:03:06,620 --> 01:03:06,820
Oh, yeah.
707
01:03:07,700 --> 01:03:08,820
They know what to do.
708
01:03:09,020 --> 01:03:11,560
I mean, just lower that shoulder, drive Wahoo back
709
01:03:12,020 --> 01:03:14,400
into the corner, and let it happen.
710
01:03:15,740 --> 01:03:18,640
Snooka Morocco and a dirty Dick Murdock.
711
01:03:20,460 --> 01:03:23,100
Tay Murdock was a lot of fun at Slam Piece last night.
712
01:03:23,900 --> 01:03:28,140
He really, like Blackjack Mulligan, he's a big Texan, has a lot of personality.
713
01:03:28,740 --> 01:03:31,140
Like him or hate him, he's somebody that stands out in the crowd.
714
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:33,500
And Bruntel living up to his name with a great drop kick.
715
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,000
Still jumping after all these years.
716
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:40,900
Up by the years.
717
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:44,340
I think he's still got his tie-dye trunks from 69.
718
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:45,820
Shoulder block.
719
01:03:46,020 --> 01:03:47,560
Boy, he's in tremendous condition.
720
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:48,200
Look at Brunson.
721
01:03:48,820 --> 01:03:51,140
These guys take care of themselves once an athlete,
722
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:51,880
always an athlete.
723
01:03:52,060 --> 01:03:52,260
Ha!
724
01:03:52,620 --> 01:03:52,780
Ha!
725
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:53,580
Ha!
726
01:04:03,340 --> 01:04:07,360
Tremendous athlete and it goes back to what we were talking about Larry talking about this last night
727
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:11,800
Of course 11 a.m. Will slam meet the meet and greet autograph session photo opportunities
728
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:15,440
Then the dinner began really about six o'clock last night with
729
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:19,520
With the introduction of many of the legends and a sleeper hauled
730
01:04:20,610 --> 01:04:21,570
by Brunzel.
731
01:04:21,850 --> 01:04:23,570
Look at the ring positioning.
732
01:04:23,770 --> 01:04:26,910
Murdoch knew exactly where he was as soon as Brunzel hooked the sleeper.
733
01:04:27,210 --> 01:04:30,090
He used his weight and backed Brunzel up into the corner.
734
01:04:30,290 --> 01:04:31,030
He wanted him to be in.
735
01:04:31,470 --> 01:04:33,590
These guys are pros through the legends day.
736
01:04:33,770 --> 01:04:34,390
Know the tricks.
737
01:04:34,650 --> 01:04:38,050
We were talking about the flying hit scissors by Dirty Dick Murdoch.
738
01:04:38,130 --> 01:04:42,510
You know, really, not only some of the onriest and meanest,
739
01:04:42,570 --> 01:04:46,950
but certainly one of the some of the most gifted and toughest athletes in the world.
740
01:04:47,450 --> 01:04:51,430
been in professional wrestling yeah there's no doubt about it this is the
741
01:04:51,430 --> 01:04:58,950
this is a breed of the toughest men the world has produced and I'm proud to be
742
01:04:58,950 --> 01:05:01,890
one of them and we're glad you're here the legs
743
01:05:01,890 --> 01:05:10,030
11 course you are of course I have two to two you stumbling and runs out he
744
01:05:10,030 --> 01:05:11,390
cannot combat the power
745
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:15,440
of Miracle, but he made the tag anyway.
746
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:16,480
Here comes Wahoo McDaniel.
747
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:20,560
Well, he tagged, but Anderson was in the wrong corner.
748
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:22,020
And again, they're back to their positioning.
749
01:05:22,620 --> 01:05:24,600
Brunzel is in never-never land.
750
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:26,840
Oh!
751
01:05:27,260 --> 01:05:29,520
Oh, down goes Superfly Jimmy Spooka.
752
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:32,060
Inadvertently from Don Miracle, he
753
01:05:32,060 --> 01:05:33,860
has to make the tag that the only one of his partners
754
01:05:33,860 --> 01:05:37,080
standing, little join going on there between teammates.
755
01:05:37,220 --> 01:05:39,660
And there's a swinging neckbreaker by Murdoch.
756
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:46,380
I'll tell you, Brunsel's kept himself in fine condition.
757
01:05:49,980 --> 01:05:52,080
And Burdock, looking as tough as ever.
758
01:05:53,180 --> 01:05:54,780
He's a wily veteran.
759
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:56,120
He always was wily.
760
01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:57,560
Uh-oh.
761
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:00,680
Maybe not as nimble as before, but wily.
762
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:01,620
Of course he's not.
763
01:06:02,460 --> 01:06:04,020
But he's as mean as before.
764
01:06:04,220 --> 01:06:06,620
He drives the knee right down between the shoulder blades.
765
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:33,560
Blackjack and now the Morocco comes in they got snooker first one two snooker
766
01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:36,660
helped his partner that time because the referee chased snooker away before he
767
01:06:36,660 --> 01:06:40,260
made the three count or the attempt of the three it was only a two cap
768
01:06:40,940 --> 01:06:47,900
Morocco makes a tag to Snooka look at the team though as Snooka and Morocco and Murdoch very quick tags in and out
769
01:06:47,900 --> 01:06:49,860
Always got that fresh man rotating
770
01:06:50,700 --> 01:06:51,740
Good strategy
771
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:58,020
Snooka who most of his career was certainly a fan favorite
772
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:03,020
But he also team with Ray the crippler Stevens at one time. There's one
773
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:08,120
And was certainly a man that the fans booed for many years.
774
01:07:08,260 --> 01:07:10,720
They were a team under the late Gene Anderson.
775
01:07:11,060 --> 01:07:12,520
You can go back in your memory from that.
776
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:13,760
Well, finally, he took his career.
777
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:16,640
He commanded the respect of everybody for his ability
778
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:17,440
as an athlete.
779
01:07:17,940 --> 01:07:19,820
Oh, the things he could do.
780
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:21,340
But what a tough individual.
781
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:23,800
He does the suit, eats you on the spot and fights you.
782
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:26,600
The great athletes from the Fiji Islands at Don Maracco
783
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:28,040
are going out at the second time.
784
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:29,620
And a roll on.
785
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:47,860
at a week of an eye all six men are going at it Randy Anderson wait a minute
786
01:07:47,860 --> 01:07:53,640
I think he's calling for the bell that's it this was broken down I don't know
787
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:57,920
what the referee's decision is going to be he's gonna tell Gary Kepeta and Gary
788
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:04,340
what word we got here ladies and gentlemen the official decision this
789
01:08:10,220 --> 01:08:11,820
But the fight goes on
790
01:08:40,620 --> 01:08:44,920
I've had a chance to interview two men quite like this, but I have heard stories.
791
01:08:45,480 --> 01:08:54,920
I became a wrestling legend for all my friends in Canada and the millions of mad dog fans around the world.
792
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:59,340
So, Mr. Assassin, how do you feel about this?
793
01:08:59,580 --> 01:09:00,900
I've not done talking.
794
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:05,940
You know what? I just seen this six-guy Russell in his tag team match.
795
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:10,640
I have only one regret that I'm not daring to rig myself to Russell
796
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:15,720
because I would teach some of these guys what it's really like to Russell.
797
01:09:16,300 --> 01:09:19,240
It's a doggy dog world out there.
798
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:23,680
So Mr. Sasson, how do you feel about the action so far?
799
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:25,280
It's a tremendous action.
800
01:09:25,420 --> 01:09:27,440
There's one thing on my mind that I want to clarify.
801
01:09:28,060 --> 01:09:30,160
I've been asked many times about the remarks
802
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:32,360
that I made in the past few weeks about Dusty Road.
803
01:09:32,500 --> 01:09:34,100
You know, it's no secret to anyone
804
01:09:34,100 --> 01:09:36,640
that there's been bad blood between Rhodes and myself
805
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:37,480
for a long time.
806
01:09:37,780 --> 01:09:39,020
We've had a lot of battles, and I
807
01:09:39,020 --> 01:09:40,680
don't feel that anything has ever been settled.
808
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:43,280
So Rhodes, I'm making an open challenge to you.
809
01:09:43,440 --> 01:09:46,680
Any time, any place, let's settle it once and for all.
810
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:59,520
Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest of Slambering 93, the Legends Tag Team match.
811
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:03,580
Set for one fall with a 15 minute time limit.
812
01:10:04,460 --> 01:10:06,800
Introducing team number one.
813
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:12,860
First from the Soviet Union, weighing 103 kilos.
814
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:15,160
The Russian Bear!
815
01:10:15,540 --> 01:10:17,700
Ivan Krupp!
816
01:10:20,330 --> 01:10:24,770
Ladies and gentlemen, representing Germany, 257 pounds.
817
01:10:25,370 --> 01:10:30,450
The master of the claw, Baron Bern-Ruschke.
818
01:10:34,730 --> 01:10:38,110
Well, as the old cliche goes, when you're bad, you're bad.
819
01:10:38,390 --> 01:10:39,910
And these two are two of the baddest
820
01:10:39,910 --> 01:10:40,850
the sport has ever seen.
821
01:10:41,090 --> 01:10:42,470
They are, Karl Offenraske.
822
01:10:42,610 --> 01:10:44,250
They're just not a couple of pretty faces.
823
01:10:44,990 --> 01:10:46,610
They're last of the real men.
824
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:53,080
And ladies and gentlemen, the opposition from Atlanta, Georgia.
825
01:10:53,740 --> 01:10:59,260
Welcome back to the U.M.E. Thunderbolt Patterson.
826
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:22,480
But Thunderbolt has made it to the ring by himself.
827
01:11:24,180 --> 01:11:26,300
I don't know if there's gonna be a two on one here or what.
828
01:11:29,940 --> 01:11:30,940
I'm not looking at you.
829
01:11:30,940 --> 01:11:33,220
I'll tell you a story about Mad Dog for Sean Cawig.
830
01:11:33,860 --> 01:11:35,920
Talk about doggy dog world, what a maniac.
831
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:39,220
He was one time he got in a fight, knocked a man out, Tony.
832
01:11:39,780 --> 01:11:42,740
Then pulled out his eyeball and then stepped on him.
833
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:43,340
Excuse me.
834
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:47,440
They tell me that Bob has got a bad operation on his knee.
835
01:11:47,850 --> 01:11:51,890
So it don't make no difference, I will kick both of y'all back, back, back.
836
01:11:53,150 --> 01:11:53,850
What'd he say?
837
01:11:54,670 --> 01:11:56,070
I think you know what he said.
838
01:11:57,070 --> 01:11:58,730
And the fans here in the Omni do.
839
01:12:00,650 --> 01:12:02,390
Oh, we are having fun tonight.
840
01:12:04,990 --> 01:12:09,450
It looks like that full of Bob Armstrong had apparently a knee operation.
841
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:17,840
They should not control them, they aren't strong.
842
01:12:18,480 --> 01:12:22,320
It should have been weak stomach, because all of you are strong.
843
01:12:22,740 --> 01:12:25,180
Have been cowards all their career.
844
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:27,920
They're nothing but cowards.
845
01:12:28,780 --> 01:12:33,420
They're taking on, they're taking on, they're going for it.
846
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:34,560
Well, there's Brad Armstrong.
847
01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:37,960
Yellowberry cowards.
848
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:41,580
Brad has made it to the ring, wait a minute now.
849
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:59,200
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.
850
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:05,380
Hey yo, take your shirt off baby, look at here, take your shirt off, let's kick some...
851
01:14:22,730 --> 01:14:27,930
Thunderbolt Patterson and Bolts got himself a partner now in Brad Armstrong in his genes
852
01:14:27,930 --> 01:14:37,550
in his rebox air set to go Thunderbolt Patterson who was the southern heavyweight champion
853
01:14:37,550 --> 01:14:42,870
was a dominant wrestler not only here in Georgia but also in Florida one of the most popular
854
01:14:42,870 --> 01:14:45,470
athletes ever to compete he still lives here in Atlanta.
855
01:14:53,830 --> 01:15:04,870
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.
856
01:15:08,910 --> 01:15:11,470
Ron Rasky certainly doesn't want to tie up with him.
857
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:24,920
to try to side headlock.
858
01:15:25,420 --> 01:15:27,640
They did a thing with Bonraschi years ago
859
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:30,700
where he used to put a bolt in a big pair of pliers
860
01:15:30,700 --> 01:15:33,960
and squeeze it with his hand and the pliers would just snap.
861
01:15:34,180 --> 01:15:37,280
This is born with double tendon strengthening, huge hand.
862
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:40,020
But the side headlock's not working now.
863
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:42,160
And the German athlete.
864
01:15:43,470 --> 01:15:48,670
He and Greg Valentine were the NWA World Tag Team Champions, and he was the first ever
865
01:15:48,670 --> 01:15:54,210
World Television Champion of the NWA, and that happened back in 1978.
866
01:15:55,030 --> 01:15:56,910
You're just a human fax machine, aren't you?
867
01:15:57,070 --> 01:15:57,790
Something like that.
868
01:15:58,330 --> 01:16:02,190
And now Ivan Koloff as Brad, I'm sharp enough to sit right down on the arm.
869
01:16:02,690 --> 01:16:07,970
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.
870
01:16:08,230 --> 01:16:13,750
January 8, 1971, Madison Square Garden. I know you remember that day as well as everyone else.
871
01:16:14,830 --> 01:16:21,750
And that was the day Ivan Koloff thrown Bruno San Martino and it was over 22,000 people
872
01:16:21,750 --> 01:16:26,550
in the garden Tony when Koloff beat Bruno you could hear a pin drop.
873
01:16:27,170 --> 01:16:30,970
It was awesome in terms of everyone was in shock.
874
01:16:31,130 --> 01:16:36,230
Captain Lou Albano was the manager of Ivan Koloff at that time and it was a stunner.
875
01:16:36,430 --> 01:16:41,490
Ivan went on to lose that belt to Pedro Morales a month later and now Baron Von Rasky.
876
01:16:43,310 --> 01:16:48,790
I talked about back in 1978, he was a Mid-Atlantic television champion and all the NWA promoters
877
01:16:48,790 --> 01:16:53,350
got together for a tournament with their television champion to decide a world TV
878
01:16:53,350 --> 01:16:58,130
champ and Baron Von Rasky won that tournament and was deemed the first ever world television
879
01:16:58,130 --> 01:16:58,550
champion.
880
01:16:59,550 --> 01:17:00,330
He's got it!
881
01:17:00,410 --> 01:17:01,330
There's the claw hole!
882
01:17:01,430 --> 01:17:02,270
That's his MO!
883
01:17:04,370 --> 01:17:07,510
The way he hooks the back of the neck, you know, puts the pressure on the back of the
884
01:17:14,470 --> 01:17:19,050
Both came in for the break, and Ivan Kolov in, and the Thunderbolt.
885
01:17:19,870 --> 01:17:23,030
Oh yeah, his trademark, the rapid pistol fire.
886
01:17:24,790 --> 01:17:26,830
He slapped Kolov more than a shimp.
887
01:17:29,950 --> 01:17:31,230
They're going to throw him together.
888
01:17:32,330 --> 01:17:33,850
Both Kolov and the Baron go down.
889
01:17:35,390 --> 01:17:38,770
This legends tag match has part of Slambo...
890
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:16,600
I'll tell you what, Baron Von Rasky got his M.O. in there, that was the claw of Thunderbolt
891
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:21,600
Patterson, however, it was that experience that saved the day, people was there, right
892
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:26,320
there, he chopped the Baron right in the throat, and it just knocked the air out of him, put
893
01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:29,160
the weight over his shoulders, and they got a victory.
894
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:35,380
One of the most exciting parts of Slamberry has been Ric Flair, who says he will be here
895
01:18:35,380 --> 01:18:40,380
tonight, the original four horsemen, and with that, we're going to take you down to
896
01:18:46,470 --> 01:18:53,290

899
01:19:43,410 --> 01:19:46,690
of the Legendary Four Horsemen.
900
01:19:50,490 --> 01:19:55,950
With that comes a lot of good news, but a little bad news.
901
01:19:56,550 --> 01:19:59,590
But before I get into that, let me do one thing
902
01:19:59,590 --> 01:20:02,810
every man in the audience, and every man worldwide
903
01:20:02,810 --> 01:20:06,480
waits for each week, and that is, take that
904
01:20:22,470 --> 01:20:23,150
Hi, John.
905
01:21:06,090 --> 01:21:08,610
As you know, Barry Wyndham has been snubbing you.
906
01:21:09,220 --> 01:21:14,180
He's been snubbing the horseman. He's been even been snubbing this show, but very win them in a short while
907
01:21:14,180 --> 01:21:18,580
And I mean in a short while you're not going to be able to snub me

01:21:18,580 --> 01:21:24,280

01:22:15,820 --> 01:22:17,720

918
01:22:23,670 --> 01:22:24,990
What's the occasion, Holy?
919
01:22:25,330 --> 01:22:27,470
I'll tell you what, I'm all dressed up for a party with you.
920
01:22:27,590 --> 01:22:28,270
I've got to be dressed.
921
01:22:28,590 --> 01:22:29,870
But I did not tell you before.
922
01:22:30,450 --> 01:22:31,790
I said, you can't trust Wyndham.
923
01:22:32,050 --> 01:22:34,230
And Wyndham got to that other kid, Tully.
924
01:22:34,910 --> 01:22:36,290
And I'll tell you what, it makes me hot.
925
01:22:36,410 --> 01:22:37,550
I've said it time and again.
926
01:22:37,730 --> 01:22:38,630
You've got to watch him.
927
01:22:38,870 --> 01:22:39,770
You can't trust him.
928
01:22:40,110 --> 01:22:41,490
Well, only listen and say this to you.
929
01:22:41,930 --> 01:22:43,910
Take a look around behind you, one time, Rock.
930
01:22:44,750 --> 01:22:45,930
It's 10 out of 10.
931
01:22:46,730 --> 01:22:47,870
It's a flare for the gold.
932
01:22:48,330 --> 01:22:49,570
You forget about Tully.
933
01:22:50,030 --> 01:22:50,970
Forget about it.
934
01:22:51,310 --> 01:22:57,350
Have a seat right there brother get your feet wet because the party is going to keep right out of rocking now
935
01:22:57,350 --> 01:23:02,890
Here is the special edition
936
01:23:04,130 --> 01:23:06,390
my special guest tonight and
937
01:23:07,090 --> 01:23:13,370
The newest member of the four horsemen is legitimately one of those
938
01:23:13,370 --> 01:23:18,550
Kids stealing a wheel and deal of limousine riding jet flying son of a gun
939
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:24,800
the major cry. I'm talking about none other than
940
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:28,800
Stalin and profiling pretty Paul
941
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:31,820
Roma. Come on out here Paul.
942
01:23:32,800 --> 01:23:35,320
Hey, does he not stick a demographic?
943
01:23:36,060 --> 01:23:38,520
Kids, women, girls, don't be ashamed of it.
944
01:23:39,140 --> 01:23:40,660
Paul, welcome brothers.
945
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:44,980
to the horsemen. Thank you, it's a pleasure. You know, I don't think these people really realize
946
01:23:45,440 --> 01:23:51,760
the thousands of wrestlers you had to choose from, and you chose me to be a part of the most supreme
947
01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:59,500
elite group in professional wrestling today. The symbol that stands for and always will be
948
01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:07,800
excellence. Hey, it's the four horsemen, Paul. We got Fifi on our left. We got the girls over here on our
949
01:24:08,490 --> 01:24:12,130
But before we get the party going, let me lay one thing down.
950
01:24:13,230 --> 01:24:18,070
Hillman Austin, you want an HMOR, you got it.
951
01:24:18,370 --> 01:24:20,210
Because the tights are coming back out.
952
01:24:20,890 --> 01:24:25,890
And as the sides stepped in the west, we're going to rock and roll.
953
01:24:26,090 --> 01:24:31,150
Because the horsemen, whoo, are reunited again.
954
01:24:31,990 --> 01:24:32,550
All right.
955
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:56,760
It's our honor to have the greatest US Heavyweight Champion of all time, Johnny Valentine with us.
956
01:24:56,860 --> 01:24:59,660
And Johnny, welcome to Rinkside, having a great time this weekend.
957
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:06,040
It's great to be here. I've never seen so much talent in one building, especially the old timers.
958
01:25:07,060 --> 01:25:12,440
And we're going to see a couple old-timers wrestle I understand I've already seen a few
959
01:25:13,220 --> 01:25:17,300
We are getting ready to see Nick Bakuiko go up one-on-one against Dory Funk Jr.
960
01:25:17,460 --> 01:25:19,120
Kind of the AWA versus the NWA
961
01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:23,760
We're gonna have that match up but before we do and Johnny's gonna be at ringside with us with the commentary
962
01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:29,880

He's formerly from Amarillo, Texas.

Now residing in Ocala, Florida, weighing 245 pounds.
971
01:26:24,100 --> 01:26:30,660
And for four and a half years, he held the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.
972
01:26:33,450 --> 01:26:34,070
Jr.
973
01:26:36,870 --> 01:26:39,730
Dory front jr. Along with
974
01:26:40,456 --> 01:26:46,430
Big Thunder Jean Kaneshki. It's in WA against a WA as we go back to Gary Gepeta

01:26:49,370 --> 01:26:52,070

He's from St. Paul, Minnesota.

He weighs 238 pounds, four-time former AWA World Heavyweight Champion, Nick Buckwinkle.
978
01:27:08,710 --> 01:27:16,630
And Nick Buckwinkle is accompanied by former AWA World Heavyweight Champion, Fern Ganya.
979
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:26,440
It is AWA against NWA, Larry Zavisco and I are joined by Johnny Valentine.
980
01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:29,440
It's going to be Dory Funk Jr. against Nick Bakwinkle.
981
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:32,520
Two men, Johnny, I know you know a tremendous amount about.
982
01:27:32,940 --> 01:27:35,440
We talked about the competitive juices still flowing.
983
01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:36,540
We've seen some great matches.
984
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:38,200
We're anticipating another great one here, Johnny.
985
01:27:38,460 --> 01:27:42,300
Well, this is really a jealousy match because they wanted to.
986
01:27:42,730 --> 01:27:44,490
to get together for many years
987
01:27:44,490 --> 01:27:45,650
and they wouldn't let him go.
988
01:27:45,950 --> 01:27:47,350
But now they are here
989
01:27:47,350 --> 01:27:49,570
and there is some professional jealousy
990
01:27:49,570 --> 01:27:52,290
and there's been a little bad talk
991
01:27:52,290 --> 01:27:53,170
between them lately
992
01:27:53,170 --> 01:27:55,790
and this is going to be a fun match
993
01:27:55,790 --> 01:27:56,550
for us.
994
01:27:56,870 --> 01:27:57,730
Yeah for us.
995
01:27:57,930 --> 01:27:59,230
You know that the interesting part is
996
01:27:59,230 --> 01:28:01,250
of course I was a last AWA world
997
01:28:01,250 --> 01:28:01,690
champion.
998
01:28:02,110 --> 01:28:04,210
I'm responsible for retiring
999
01:28:04,210 --> 01:28:06,590
Bob Wingo's first match in years
1000
01:28:06,590 --> 01:28:08,950
for like Mr. Valentine was saying
1001
01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:12,200
But the politics were just too fragile at the time.
1002
01:28:12,620 --> 01:28:14,860
Two organizations would never meet, in my opinion.
1003
01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:18,420
Of course, a W.A. champion would reign supreme.
1004
01:28:20,660 --> 01:28:23,740
As we take a look at the legendary Johnny Valentine here,
1005
01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:26,680
ringside with us, and Dory Funk Jr., Dory Funk Jr.
1006
01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:34,600
lost his NWA title in 1973 to Harley Race but he defeated the man who is his
1007
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:40,740
second Gene Koniske in 1969 in Tampa, Florida for that belt. As we said for
1008
01:28:40,740 --> 01:28:44,080
four and a half years it was a tremendous title reign for Dory Funk, Jr.
1009
01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:48,520
of course a member of the legendary Funk family. Nick Bonkwick on the other side
1010
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:54,204
won his AWA World Heavyweight title his first one in 1975 and he defeated the
1011
01:28:58,120 --> 01:29:06,000
You know interesting here both these men are excellent Matt wrestlers just master of holds and pressure points and leverage
1012
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:09,960
They're two of the greatest of the greats Tony right in front of your eyes
1013
01:29:11,140 --> 01:29:16,700
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
1014
01:29:17,460 --> 01:29:24,480
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
1015
01:29:25,128 --> 01:29:26,280
I've wrestled
1016
01:29:26,830 --> 01:29:33,510
Dory from right and Dory. This is Dory from Junior, right? I've wrestled them both and I
1017
01:29:34,730 --> 01:29:42,310
really respect the funks and I respect Dory from for his ability and he's got staying power
1018
01:29:42,310 --> 01:29:48,510
He doesn't go down when he gets hurt. He's in there fighting the last minute and I'd have to
1019
01:29:49,110 --> 01:29:53,630
lean towards him. Well, you talked about the stain power, Dory Funk, good go behind that time,
1020
01:29:53,750 --> 01:29:57,730
but Nick Buckwick turns the hammerlock right around. One of the things about Dory Funk Jr. when
1021
01:29:57,730 --> 01:30:02,190
he was the World Heavyweight Champion was the fact that when Dory Funk came to your part of the
1022
01:30:02,190 --> 01:30:05,410
country and you were, let's say, one of the top athletes and you had to go up against the World
1023
01:30:05,410 --> 01:30:10,330
Champion, you were in for a long fight, 60-minute time of those world title matches. A lot of
1024
01:30:13,470 --> 01:30:26,170
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.
1025
01:30:26,830 --> 01:30:30,710
If you can just keep going, going, going, eventually you're going to have the advantage.
1026
01:30:31,850 --> 01:30:34,830
And this is where he was famous for getting into cornering those uppercuts.
1027
01:30:34,910 --> 01:30:36,030
Look at those forearms that time.
1028
01:30:36,610 --> 01:30:40,850
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.
1029
01:30:41,230 --> 01:30:44,410
Look at the way Dory's got this neck of ice clamped on here.
1030
01:30:44,930 --> 01:30:48,310
I mean, just a master of wrestling holds and leverages.
1031
01:30:49,410 --> 01:30:50,650
And we're talking about legends.
1032
01:30:50,850 --> 01:30:53,350
You saw the legendary Bern Ganni up on the apron of the ring.
1033
01:30:53,850 --> 01:31:00,970
And Vern Ganya won his first AWA heavyweight title back in 1958, and his last AWA championship
1034
01:31:00,970 --> 01:31:02,810
reign ended in 1985.
1035
01:31:04,070 --> 01:31:07,470
Now think about that, one of the true legends in our sport.
1036
01:31:08,630 --> 01:31:12,390
And I'd say there's only one way that you become that Tony, and that is you are one
1037
01:31:12,390 --> 01:31:14,290
of the best of the best.
1038
01:31:14,690 --> 01:31:19,110
And lucky that those injuries don't creep up on you because you never know when that
1039
01:31:19,110 --> 01:31:20,410
ambulance is waiting for you.
1040
01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:28,020
You hear Ganya, there you see Gene Koniske say go for the ropes junior.
1041
01:31:28,300 --> 01:31:33,060
There's a rugged individual right there. Check out that mug. What a competitor.
1042
01:31:33,560 --> 01:31:36,700
I'd say I'd say I'd have some nicknames for Bach, Winkle, Tricky, Nicky, Slick, Nick.
1043
01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:41,820
I mean, he was a real, real slick competitor. Every time you thought you had him hooked,
1044
01:31:42,180 --> 01:31:44,780
he was out of it. He's just a terrific wrestler.
1045
01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:50,820
The man, Vern Ganya, defeated in 1958 for the AWA title was Eduardo Capace.
1046
01:31:52,600 --> 01:31:54,780
As you take a look at punk get out of that nicely
1047
01:31:55,960 --> 01:32:02,380
Another man that was a WA heavyweight champion was a man on the other side as well and that was Jean Kaneski
1048
01:32:02,380 --> 01:32:06,440
So a lot of a lot of history between all four men here. Yeah
1049
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:12,760
I'm enthralled with this match
1050
01:32:14,030 --> 01:32:19,930
back away. Well, you claim you retired, Nick Bacalico. Yeah, but this is like looking at history.
1051
01:32:20,710 --> 01:32:25,170
You know, it's too bad these guys didn't wrestle each other back, you know, 15 years ago
1052
01:32:25,770 --> 01:32:33,910
when politics were different. You know, speaking of history, and Johnny Valentine is beside us.
1053
01:32:33,990 --> 01:32:37,590
I grew up in the, I grew up in Virginia in the Carolinas. Look at that slam.
1054
01:32:38,440 --> 01:32:42,380
And I remember some legendary fights between Johnny Valentine and Wahoo McDaniel.
1055
01:32:42,700 --> 01:32:46,200
Look at that slam there by Bakweko and Cork on the outside.
1056
01:32:46,640 --> 01:32:51,140
I can remember Johnny Valentine coming into the television with a fishbowl full of silver dollars
1057
01:32:51,140 --> 01:32:57,120
and telling the man if you could put my shoulders down one, two, three, you could have the fishbowl of silver dollars.
1058
01:32:57,440 --> 01:32:59,080
No one ever got those silver dollars, Johnny.
1059
01:32:59,080 --> 01:32:59,640
They never did.
1060
01:32:59,820 --> 01:33:00,240
Never did.
1061
01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:00,420
They never did.
1062
01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:02,280
Yeah, I was, uh...
1063
01:33:03,060 --> 01:33:08,880
Talking about Wahoo, I really say I've had some of the toughest batches in my life with Wahoo McDaniel.
1064
01:33:10,060 --> 01:33:11,240
No doubt about it.
1065
01:33:11,940 --> 01:33:17,420
And it's tremendous having you here Johnny Valentine and all the 40-plus legends in this program
1066
01:33:17,900 --> 01:33:23,140
Still to come a little bit later on we will have the first induction into the WCW
1067
01:33:23,140 --> 01:33:29,780
Legends professional wrestling Hall of Fame right here later tonight, so we are have a lot to go
1068
01:33:29,780 --> 01:33:32,900
You heard the time limit called out by Gary Gopetta and
1069
01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:36,840
Funkin Bokwick will still going out of here
1070
01:33:39,660 --> 01:33:41,040
Elbow tremendous moves
1071
01:33:41,720 --> 01:33:48,480
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
1072
01:33:50,220 --> 01:33:54,860
Here's a cover one a one count and Mike Atkins
1073
01:33:55,860 --> 01:34:03,160
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
1074
01:34:03,160 --> 01:34:07,060
Almost a ramrod against the top of the head and crick that neck in there
1075
01:34:07,720 --> 01:34:09,860
There you go. Look at that. That's art
1076
01:34:10,920 --> 01:34:12,320
He never lets up
1077
01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:15,800
Now that's one thing about Dory
1078
01:34:16,920 --> 01:34:21,320
He gets a sore spot and he keeps working on it. That's the way to do it
1079
01:34:22,700 --> 01:34:24,760
Buck winkle was known as the
1080
01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:28,720
The most intelligent wrestler alive when he competed
1081
01:34:30,500 --> 01:34:31,560
Four-armed shot
1082
01:34:35,600 --> 01:34:36,380
Look at this, man.
1083
01:34:36,500 --> 01:34:36,920
You're right in there.
1084
01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:37,540
You're called a slick Nick.
1085
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:38,420
Well, he could talk.
1086
01:34:39,120 --> 01:34:40,700
You always had a thing about Bokwinkl
1087
01:34:40,700 --> 01:34:41,740
if he asked him what time it was.
1088
01:34:41,860 --> 01:34:43,000
He told you how to make a watch.
1089
01:34:45,200 --> 01:34:47,360
You're right into it in this legendary union.
1090
01:34:47,580 --> 01:34:49,520
And those are heavy forehards by Nick Bokwinkl.
1091
01:34:49,620 --> 01:34:50,760
And it's stunned Dory Fock.
1092
01:34:50,900 --> 01:34:52,460
And he's going to go for a cover here.
1093
01:34:52,720 --> 01:34:53,420
But they're in the ropes.
1094
01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:56,480
Little two overaches on the part of Bokwinkl.
1095
01:34:57,660 --> 01:34:58,300
Big thunder.
1096
01:35:00,110 --> 01:35:02,170
pull the buck we go off a fuck
1097
01:35:02,170 --> 01:35:04,290
that time and and now can this
1098
01:35:04,290 --> 01:35:09,210
he is in the ring you know we
1099
01:35:09,210 --> 01:35:10,430
talked about it leading up to
1100
01:35:10,430 --> 01:35:11,930
this about temper slurring and
1101
01:35:11,930 --> 01:35:13,130
that's exactly Johnny Valentine
1102
01:35:13,130 --> 01:35:16,590
what we have here well there's
1103
01:35:16,590 --> 01:35:17,870
can this be over there and he's
1104
01:35:17,870 --> 01:35:19,030
he'd like to get in there
1105
01:35:19,030 --> 01:35:22,930
himself I think the collar
1106
01:35:22,930 --> 01:35:24,150
elbow the right above us here
1107
01:35:25,210 --> 01:35:26,770
Bokwinkle is pinned in the corner.
1108
01:35:27,370 --> 01:35:28,970
Bunk has that front face lock on.
1109
01:35:29,510 --> 01:35:30,770
Bokwinkle takes him down.
1110
01:35:31,790 --> 01:35:33,470
And he's still got the half on.
1111
01:35:34,230 --> 01:35:35,990
Just great wrestlers here, I mean.
1112
01:35:38,370 --> 01:35:40,670
I haven't got an opportunity to see Dory Bunk that much,
1113
01:35:40,770 --> 01:35:41,930
but he's got Bokwinkle's shoulders down.
1114
01:35:42,150 --> 01:35:43,830
And that's what I mean about Nick Bokwinkle.
1115
01:35:44,150 --> 01:35:45,670
Every time you think you got him hooked,
1116
01:35:45,890 --> 01:35:47,490
he just slicks himself out of there.
1117
01:35:48,850 --> 01:35:49,990
Oh, I can't.
1118
01:35:52,360 --> 01:35:55,060
Double Lake pick up that time you take a look at Gene Kaneski
1119
01:35:56,480 --> 01:36:00,660
Here was a man who ended the title reign of the great luthas
1120
01:36:00,660 --> 01:36:05,088
There's who won his first world title in 1937 and then lost in
1121
01:36:05,840 --> 01:36:13,400
1966 to Gene Kaneski and for the better part of 29 years luthas was the heavyweight champion of the world the man who
1122
01:36:13,908 --> 01:36:16,720
Ended luthas's title reign. That's that's quite an accomplishment
1123
01:36:18,150 --> 01:36:24,950
Yeah, Lou says he was a he was just a consummate wrestler of the 50s. He was a wrestler's wrestler Tony
1124
01:36:25,790 --> 01:36:26,710
side headlock
1125
01:36:28,270 --> 01:36:29,950
The belly to back suplex
1126
01:36:30,990 --> 01:36:35,170
Tremendous counter move and Dory Plunk's gonna try to make a cover here and he got out of it
1127
01:36:36,240 --> 01:36:40,860
you know Johnny Valentine we've seen a lot of great wrestling holds and we are
1128
01:36:40,860 --> 01:36:44,220
showing here right now that they've gone almost I guess they're getting close to
1129
01:36:44,220 --> 01:36:47,520
10 minutes here that these guys are still in great condition. Oh they're in great
1130
01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:51,820
condition they haven't let up and I could see them going all night like this
1131
01:36:51,820 --> 01:36:57,520
because they are great athletes. Another way Fung's got the pressure I mean just a
1132
01:36:57,520 --> 01:37:01,260
just a picture perfect hold here on putting the pressure on Buckwinkle.
1133
01:37:01,580 --> 01:37:03,920
Buckwinkle trying to work that ankle out of the way.
1134
01:37:04,780 --> 01:37:11,960
She is still fun to slips it down and a referee Mike Atkins asking
1135
01:37:13,160 --> 01:37:18,500
Bokwinkel if he wants to give it up at Bokwinkel, of course says no, but Bokwinkel back up
1136
01:37:19,260 --> 01:37:25,040
This match means a lot to both of them. No one's gonna lay down here. Absolutely not
1137
01:37:25,600 --> 01:37:31,160
Doesn't mean anything as far as rankings go or anything like that, but you talk about the very first slamboree
1138
01:37:32,250 --> 01:37:35,510
pride people watching all over the world on pay-per-view a tremendous crowd
1139
01:37:35,510 --> 01:37:40,290
here at the Army in Atlanta and their peers watching well one of them here at
1140
01:37:40,290 --> 01:37:43,270
ringside Johnny Valentine made their peers watch in the back dressing room
1141
01:37:43,270 --> 01:37:46,530
you're right Johnny means a lot to both of them ten minutes gone by there are
1142
01:37:46,530 --> 01:37:50,790
five minutes remaining to time all right ten minutes have gone by and now
1143
01:37:50,790 --> 01:37:54,970
these men will try for the next five minutes to get a winner you watch them
1144
01:37:54,970 --> 01:37:57,870
both of them have that same mutual respect for each other
1145
01:37:59,380 --> 01:38:08,760
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
1146
01:38:10,540 --> 01:38:12,960
Burned guy you came over to me said how much time left
1147
01:38:15,020 --> 01:38:16,480
And I said five minutes
1148
01:38:17,500 --> 01:38:24,000
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
1149
01:38:25,040 --> 01:38:29,260
Mern Godney the man the master of the sleeper hold now encouraging Nick Bakwinkle
1150
01:38:29,260 --> 01:38:34,900
Look at how Bob Wiggins got that butterfly around the wrist of Dory Funk Jr. There the pressure in the leverage
1151
01:38:37,980 --> 01:38:42,840
Over 10 minutes a good look at UCLA graduate Nick Bakwinkle
1152
01:38:43,370 --> 01:38:44,950
Dory fuck came out of that one
1153
01:38:44,950 --> 01:38:46,530
nicely and once again it's
1154
01:38:46,530 --> 01:38:48,330
made a time limit for as we have
1155
01:38:48,330 --> 01:38:49,630
four minutes ago Johnny Valentine
1156
01:38:49,630 --> 01:38:51,190
is basically a stalemate here.
1157
01:38:51,330 --> 01:38:53,170
It is and they're working hard
1158
01:38:53,170 --> 01:38:54,290
look at the sweat on them.
1159
01:38:54,450 --> 01:38:57,970
They're really balling in side
1160
01:38:57,970 --> 01:39:01,310
hitlock is applied back into the
1161
01:39:01,310 --> 01:39:03,890
corner now and Mike Edkins right
1162
01:39:03,890 --> 01:39:04,630
to the midsection.
1163
01:39:10,760 --> 01:39:17,060
They funk uppercut that time, but Bakwinkle turns him around and lays in four arms of his own going right to the midsection
1164
01:39:20,140 --> 01:39:23,300
Again a snapmare takeover and a cover
1165
01:39:23,300 --> 01:39:27,580
We got a two-count final Bakwinkle. He's gonna start turning it on here
1166
01:39:27,580 --> 01:39:30,800
Was he got four more minutes left to work with that's less than four minutes
1167
01:39:30,800 --> 01:39:36,740
We're coming up on three minutes ago in this legends in WA versus a WA match
1168
01:39:37,230 --> 01:39:42,870
You know that's also that they're sticking to the rules. They're not breaking and they're being rough and tough
1169
01:39:42,870 --> 01:39:47,610
But they're not breaking in any rules. Absolutely that Larry made the time limit three. No
1170
01:39:48,670 --> 01:39:49,490
Side headlock
1171
01:39:52,250 --> 01:39:55,770
Now you can see what the fuck so try to do here. He's gonna try to plant him on his knee
1172
01:39:55,770 --> 01:40:03,190
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
1173
01:40:06,160 --> 01:40:12,280
That time got a knee in with the break for every little opening. You leave these guys will find it. Oh
1174
01:40:12,920 --> 01:40:15,180
Knocked him to the ropes. Oh
1175
01:40:15,180 --> 01:40:16,960
Man fun hot pot Waco
1176
01:40:16,960 --> 01:40:22,180
He won't be using all those big words so well at least not for the remainder of the evening
1177
01:40:22,180 --> 01:40:25,540
He won't but if I know Nick you'll have him in full force tomorrow
1178
01:40:29,390 --> 01:40:34,930
They need to get it back in the ring here in the referee warning. There's Kaniski down Kaniski trying to grab on to
1179
01:40:35,670 --> 01:40:38,910
Pulling them in or pushing them out trying to grab on that time
1180
01:40:39,650 --> 01:40:44,650
Inside out are making an outside in the vertical suplex one two
1181
01:40:46,350 --> 01:40:52,090
And at two minutes to go burn gun you almost crawled in that time and we are down to the nitty gritty here guys
1182
01:40:52,090 --> 01:40:55,230
I'm surprised gun you kiss me aren't in there yet. Whoa
1183
01:40:56,800 --> 01:41:00,220
driver. It's the pile driver. There's a foot on the ropes and that's going to stop the
1184
01:41:00,220 --> 01:41:04,620
cow. And that slick Nick Bakwinkle again. I'm telling you, he's like human oil. He just
1185
01:41:04,620 --> 01:41:14,300
slips out of predicaments. Trying to get him up. He can't. Bakwinkle trying to backslide.
1186
01:41:14,540 --> 01:41:21,580
He's got him down. He may have him over. Bakwinkle does the updoing. Fuck over. It's so close to
1187
01:41:34,340 --> 01:41:41,040
between two of the greatest in our sport and elbow going after it single-leg pickup
1188
01:41:41,880 --> 01:41:52,400
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.
1189
01:42:16,300 --> 01:42:17,220
30 seconds remain.
1190
01:42:17,520 --> 01:42:19,520
And the referee's allowing the match to continue,
1191
01:42:19,700 --> 01:42:20,620
but into the ropes.
1192
01:42:20,780 --> 01:42:21,760
They're into ropes now.
1193
01:42:22,080 --> 01:42:22,860
Dory Funk Jr.
1194
01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:29,540
Burned Ganya, asking for a disqualification.
1195
01:42:29,540 --> 01:42:30,300
15 seconds.
1196
01:42:30,820 --> 01:42:31,900
And they're still going at it.
1197
01:42:32,280 --> 01:42:33,780
Look at these uppercuts, back and forth.
1198
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:36,200
These two guys taking it to the limit.
1199
01:42:36,760 --> 01:42:39,100
One, two, no serve, a two-catch.
1200
01:42:39,160 --> 01:42:41,640
Seven, six, five.
1201
01:43:08,090 --> 01:43:13,690
Ladies and gentlemen, these two great legends have wrestled to the full extent of the time limit.
1202
01:43:13,910 --> 01:43:17,450
The official decision, a draw.
1203
01:43:18,150 --> 01:43:21,250
Johnny Valentine, it was great to have you in ringside.
1204
01:43:21,740 --> 01:43:23,660
It's always great to have you with us at WCW.
1205
01:43:23,820 --> 01:43:24,220
Thank you.
1206
01:43:24,340 --> 01:43:25,320
That was a great match.
1207
01:43:25,400 --> 01:43:27,060
It was a pleasure being with you here.
1208
01:43:27,180 --> 01:43:27,860
Thank you very much.
1209
01:43:28,020 --> 01:43:29,880
The greatest U.S. heavyweight champion of all time,
1210
01:43:30,360 --> 01:43:33,080
Johnny Valentine, joining us for the match
1211
01:43:33,940 --> 01:43:37,620
as we will go to some more legends standing by
1212
01:43:37,620 --> 01:43:38,440
with Eric Bischoff.
1213
01:43:38,600 --> 01:43:38,660
Eric.
1214
01:43:39,640 --> 01:43:41,040
All right, thanks a lot, Tony.
1215
01:43:41,660 --> 01:43:43,360
And, boy, when you talk about legends,
1216
01:43:43,780 --> 01:43:46,180
you've got to be talking about my next guest.
1217
01:43:46,340 --> 01:43:48,680
First of all, Mr. Luthes, it's an honor to be here
1218
01:43:48,680 --> 01:43:49,680
and shake your hand.
1219
01:43:50,210 --> 01:43:54,750
because you are a man that is indeed a legend that stands alone.
1220
01:43:55,030 --> 01:44:01,210
We're talking about a man that won his first World Heavyweight title back in 1937 in St. Louis,
1221
01:44:01,350 --> 01:44:02,590
and it's an honor to have you here.
1222
01:44:02,990 --> 01:44:05,430
Thank you very much. I'm very happy to be here.
1223
01:44:06,010 --> 01:44:09,370
Got some wonderful matches tonight, and this lamboree looks like a fantastic success.
1224
01:44:09,910 --> 01:44:12,370
I congratulate everyone for participating in it.
1225
01:44:12,710 --> 01:44:13,770
Happy to be here. Thank you.
1226
01:44:14,250 --> 01:44:15,830
You know, a lot of controversy in the match.
1227
01:44:19,420 --> 01:44:24,440
President of the NWA, everybody was talking last night about the AWA, the NWA matchup.
1228
01:44:24,760 --> 01:44:28,860
I know you guys are two diehard NWA fans, but what are your thoughts on this last match?
1229
01:44:29,260 --> 01:44:32,100
I thought it was a fabulous match with two great athletes.
1230
01:44:32,660 --> 01:44:36,960
I watched them when they were wrestling active, and you can see it coming back.
1231
01:44:37,480 --> 01:44:40,140
You can see it coming back and talk about going back.
1232
01:44:40,300 --> 01:44:41,060
Let's get back to the ring.
1233
01:44:41,280 --> 01:44:43,460
Tony Chavani and Larry Zavisco.
1234
01:44:43,900 --> 01:44:45,280
He's definitely rather shamed.
1235
01:44:45,280 --> 01:44:49,360
Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest of Slambering93.
1236
01:44:49,760 --> 01:44:55,560
Tag team action, set for one fall with a 20-minute time limit.
1237
01:44:56,700 --> 01:44:57,680
Introducing first.
1238
01:44:58,250 --> 01:45:06,210
From Robinsdale, Minnesota, weighing 249 pounds, the United States heavyweight champion,
1239
01:45:06,830 --> 01:45:10,370
Robinsian, Wig Woo!
1240
01:45:12,150 --> 01:45:23,430
His tag team partner from Turf, Florida, weighing 200, 51 pounds, the world television champion, Mr. Wonderful!
1241
01:45:29,100 --> 01:45:49,400
music. What I'd like to have right now is for all you fat, out of shape, inner city
1242
01:45:59,180 --> 01:46:05,180
you what a couple of real men are supposed to look like. Hit the music!
1243
01:46:38,280 --> 01:46:42,380
47 pounds, Tensuki Sasuke!
1244
01:46:45,090 --> 01:46:50,380
Well, it was one week ago, in a controversial match on WCW Worldwide Wrestling,
1245
01:46:50,800 --> 01:46:53,840
Abyssin Rick Green walked out with a US heavyweight title.
1246
01:46:54,100 --> 01:46:58,640
But the replay clearly showed that when the referee went one, two, three,
1247
01:46:58,760 --> 01:47:00,920
each man had a shoulder-
1248
01:47:31,050 --> 01:47:38,310
Ravishing Rick rude that injury enabled rude to get the U.S. title shot against Dustin road with Sasaki should have had the title
1249
01:47:38,310 --> 01:47:43,690
You can't blame Rick rude injury. I mean injury and getting hurt is the nature of the beast
1250
01:47:43,690 --> 01:47:48,990
But part of the it's just part of the sport rude have some unkind things to say about the
1251
01:47:48,990 --> 01:47:53,050
The dress the tights the boots the look of Sasaki
1252
01:47:55,650 --> 01:47:57,910
So there is bad blood here everywhere
1253
01:47:58,920 --> 01:48:03,680
It's like a real powerhouse. Well, I mean talk about bad but Dustin Rhodes must be
1254
01:48:04,440 --> 01:48:08,600
Incensed watching grab a Z Rick rude walk out with the US title
1255
01:48:34,440 --> 01:48:40,520
He's also been teeming with Hock to form a tag team of the Hillary.
1256
01:48:42,260 --> 01:48:43,700
They've been very successful.
1257
01:48:44,720 --> 01:48:46,500
What a Sasaki, excellent athlete.
1258
01:48:46,980 --> 01:48:51,620
I don't know if he's got the experience here, though, to deal with Paul Orndorf and Rick Roode.
1259
01:49:08,010 --> 01:49:24,910
What a grand night we are having a look at the ravishing Rick Rudd the master of the
1260
01:49:24,910 --> 01:49:29,050
route awakening and back to the cutter and Paul Orndorff the World Television Champion
1261
01:49:29,050 --> 01:49:29,470
is in.
1262
01:49:29,930 --> 01:49:34,510
Here's a man who's had his problems with one round Simmons and that world TV title time
1263
01:49:34,510 --> 01:49:34,750
limit.
1264
01:49:45,640 --> 01:49:47,360
I'm wondering about the team work
1265
01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:49,740
and the communicational problems.
1266
01:49:50,040 --> 01:49:53,140
I mean, Sasaki being Japanese, of course, Dustin Rhodes.
1267
01:49:53,720 --> 01:49:56,460
Can they communicate as well as Orndorff and Rick Rue?
1268
01:49:57,160 --> 01:49:59,340
I don't even know how much English Sasaki speaks.
1269
01:49:59,960 --> 01:50:00,380
Not much.
1270
01:50:01,040 --> 01:50:02,240
Well, there's one big problem.
1271
01:50:03,120 --> 01:50:05,180
That's why hero Matsuda has been with him
1272
01:50:05,180 --> 01:50:08,740
and hero one of the legends here as well, in attendance.
1273
01:50:09,420 --> 01:50:17,160
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.
1274
01:50:17,560 --> 01:50:25,980
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.
1275
01:50:26,200 --> 01:50:30,500
So he's wrestling very much so on a different day. It's morning time over there.
1276
01:50:30,640 --> 01:50:34,620
Not to mention the jet lag. When I go over there, I always take an extra day to recoup.
1277
01:50:38,280 --> 01:50:48,460
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.
1278
01:50:50,220 --> 01:50:57,620
So far the tag team work has been excellent. They know they're re-positioning quick tag between Sasaki and Dustin Rhodes.
1279
01:50:59,280 --> 01:51:01,880
Concentrated on the arm of Warndorf there. There you go.
1280
01:51:03,920 --> 01:51:06,500
Okay, this could explode right here.
1281
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:14,140
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.
1282
01:51:14,460 --> 01:51:19,840
No rush. Use your brain. Science is the name of the game.
1283
01:52:07,990 --> 01:52:12,550
When you let your emotions run your body, you make mistakes.
1284
01:52:33,550 --> 01:52:35,130
He understands what the referee
1285
01:52:35,130 --> 01:52:36,810
is telling us is hard enough to
1286
01:52:36,810 --> 01:52:39,010
understand he we Anderson we could
1287
01:52:39,010 --> 01:52:39,710
talk English.
1288
01:52:42,590 --> 01:52:44,230
And you're screaming in order of
1289
01:52:44,230 --> 01:52:45,030
the channel Paula.
1290
01:52:45,450 --> 01:52:46,530
Meanwhile Dustin.
1291
01:52:48,490 --> 01:52:50,110
Well he's like a rag doll now.
1292
01:52:51,030 --> 01:52:52,750
Hit first to the safety around
1293
01:52:52,750 --> 01:52:54,950
the out one to got a two count
1294
01:52:56,570 --> 01:52:57,490
and he kicked away.
1295
01:52:58,990 --> 01:53:01,090
What Dustin Rhodes went flying
1296
01:53:01,090 --> 01:53:02,310
over the top of it that's
1297
01:53:05,840 --> 01:53:11,220
against the Poles.
1298
01:53:11,640 --> 01:53:13,880
And again, the tag team efforts
1299
01:53:13,880 --> 01:53:16,920
of Orndorf and Roode ever so critical.
1300
01:53:17,320 --> 01:53:19,200
The communication is there.
1301
01:53:20,140 --> 01:53:21,320
I don't know what communication
1302
01:53:21,320 --> 01:53:23,080
Dustin has with Sasaki.
1303
01:53:23,520 --> 01:53:25,740
And right now, Dustin, could you some?
1304
01:53:35,210 --> 01:53:36,070
back to the attack again.
1305
01:53:40,150 --> 01:53:43,210
Fans are trying to get underneath the skin of Orndorff.
1306
01:53:43,270 --> 01:53:43,730
I don't think it's working.
1307
01:53:43,730 --> 01:53:45,910
Well, again, it shows the ignorance of the fans.
1308
01:53:46,090 --> 01:53:47,790
Here's a man-world-class athlete.
1309
01:53:48,150 --> 01:53:50,110
Look at the condition of Paul Orndorff.
1310
01:53:50,330 --> 01:53:51,810
He commands respect.
1311
01:53:52,710 --> 01:53:55,450
The Chancala is complete stupidity.
1312
01:53:58,550 --> 01:53:59,710
Shoulder into the midsection.
1313
01:54:01,000 --> 01:54:04,400
the opinions of the legend WCW's own legend.
1314
01:54:04,480 --> 01:54:05,448
But what do I know?
1315
01:54:14,900 --> 01:54:17,000
Rude trying a piledriver.
1316
01:54:18,360 --> 01:54:22,780
Oh, Dustin held firm, but Rude trying to soften him up here.
1317
01:54:23,720 --> 01:54:26,320
They're doing a fine job of it.
1318
01:54:27,000 --> 01:54:28,520
Now, another way for a piledriver,
1319
01:54:42,510 --> 01:54:48,030
a tremendous movement after on a part of Dustin Rhodes to move a six foot six inch body in
1320
01:54:48,030 --> 01:54:51,450
that position upside down and then hook a move on Rue.
1321
01:54:54,230 --> 01:55:04,490
Excellent move, but what he needs to do is dance to Saki for the finest athletes not
1322
01:55:04,490 --> 01:55:07,150
only in WCW but in the world.
1323
01:55:10,090 --> 01:55:15,110
What has to be considered a grudge tag team match going at it
1324
01:55:23,790 --> 01:55:26,750
Saki got an elbow he's going up top again room
1325
01:56:15,630 --> 01:56:17,190
Sasaki is going to go up top here.
1326
01:56:20,610 --> 01:56:22,550
It's Sasaki eyeing up Rude.
1327
01:56:23,210 --> 01:56:24,710
I don't think Rude knows where he is.
1328
01:56:25,010 --> 01:56:26,170
Fight going on outside.
1329
01:56:26,850 --> 01:56:28,050
You know when you just, oh!
1330
01:56:28,670 --> 01:56:30,150
Whoa, in goes Sasaki.
1331
01:56:30,930 --> 01:56:32,230
Rude, Rude!
1332
01:56:33,050 --> 01:56:34,970
Trying to, oh, Rude Awakening!
1333
01:56:38,050 --> 01:56:38,590
Yes!
1334
01:56:39,110 --> 01:56:39,710
He got it!
1335
01:56:40,070 --> 01:56:42,270
Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners,
1336
01:56:48,210 --> 01:56:51,690
Wonderful, Paul Orndorff!
1337
01:56:51,690 --> 01:56:53,150
He's making you out of shame.
1338
01:56:54,490 --> 01:56:57,290
Roode and Orndorff, with the Roode awake at him,
1339
01:56:57,670 --> 01:57:01,050
get the win over Sasaki and the natural Dustin Rhodes.
1340
01:57:02,130 --> 01:57:04,530
And the two champs, the U.S. and the TV champ,
1341
01:57:05,070 --> 01:57:07,230
get the win and take a look at our tremendous crowd
1342
01:57:07,230 --> 01:57:08,130
out here near the Amin.
1343
01:57:08,250 --> 01:57:08,630
Here they go.
1344
01:57:08,650 --> 01:57:09,450
Well, take a look at this.
1345
01:57:09,650 --> 01:57:11,650
Sasaki, he gave it the all effort,
1346
01:57:11,730 --> 01:57:13,150
but Orndorff was there.
1347
01:57:17,360 --> 01:57:20,200
He's Sasaki, but right here, Rick Roode.
1348
01:57:21,100 --> 01:57:24,440
Both Sasaki up, the Roode way.
1349
01:57:25,520 --> 01:57:28,060
It was just experience, the communication
1350
01:57:28,060 --> 01:57:29,340
that took its toll, Tony.
1351
01:57:31,800 --> 01:57:34,320
It was a great tag match, Roode.
1352
01:57:35,060 --> 01:57:35,860
And I don't get the win.
1353
01:57:36,100 --> 01:57:38,060
Well, Larry, we've seen a little bit of everything.
1354
01:57:38,220 --> 01:57:39,200
Some great tag matches.
1355
01:57:39,360 --> 01:57:40,620
We've seen legends go at it.
1356
01:57:40,660 --> 01:57:41,820
We've talked to some of the legends,
1357
01:57:42,020 --> 01:57:43,920
so you've heard from, from...
1358
01:57:44,200 --> 01:57:51,780
Mad Dog Bichon from Luthez. We're getting ready now to induct our first four ever into the WCW legend's Hall of Fame.
1359
01:57:51,960 --> 01:57:55,480
Well, don't sit there looking at me. Let's get it going. I want to see it myself.
1360
01:57:55,840 --> 01:58:00,000
All right now, a true legend himself. Gordon Soli, a man who is certainly a...
1361
01:58:00,000 --> 01:58:03,720
I've been very close to for many years. A man who has up-guided my career.
1362
01:58:04,240 --> 01:58:09,880
A gentleman and a guy who was a legendary announcer on TBS for many years in the center of the ring.
1363
01:58:10,330 --> 01:58:14,370
And it's only fitting that Gordon Soli would intro the legends.
1364
01:58:14,870 --> 01:58:15,550
Let's go to Gordon Soli.
1365
01:58:16,750 --> 01:58:18,750
Well, thank you very much, Tony Shavani.
1366
01:58:19,990 --> 01:58:24,110
Ladies and gentlemen, let me add my personal welcome to all of you
1367
01:58:24,690 --> 01:58:27,550
attending this most auspicious occasion this evening.
1368
01:58:31,530 --> 01:58:32,390
Thank you.
1369
01:58:45,260 --> 01:58:53,500
may I proceed please as you know of course we are going to be tonight inducting four members to the
1370
01:58:53,500 --> 01:58:56,440
world championship wrestling hall of fame
1371
01:58:59,220 --> 01:59:04,780
I have been chosen for this honor and I am honored believe me to be the inductee but before
1372
01:59:07,060 --> 01:59:10,060
we begin the induction ceremony let me just say
1373
01:59:10,590 --> 01:59:15,010
There are many great living legends that will not be with us tonight.
1374
01:59:15,550 --> 01:59:17,350
Unfortunately, they have passed on.
1375
01:59:18,470 --> 01:59:19,570
Buddy Rogers,
1376
01:59:20,830 --> 01:59:22,050
Andre the Giant,
1377
01:59:23,830 --> 01:59:24,770
Pat O'Connor,
1378
01:59:26,210 --> 01:59:27,270
Gene Anderson,
1379
01:59:29,070 --> 01:59:30,010
Dick the Bruiser,
1380
01:59:31,590 --> 01:59:32,630
Wilbur Snyder,
1381
01:59:33,430 --> 01:59:36,510
and one more that we'll tell you about a little bit later on.
1382
01:59:39,130 --> 01:59:43,650
Let's observe a moment of silence for these departed great athletes.
1383
01:59:52,010 --> 01:59:53,450
Thank you very much.
1384
01:59:54,050 --> 01:59:55,630
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
1385
01:59:57,330 --> 02:00:01,650
for the very first inductee into the WCW.
1386
02:00:02,860 --> 02:00:08,400
Hall of Fame and we cross all organizations the Hall of Fame will be here in the CNN complex
1387
02:00:08,400 --> 02:00:14,200
But the very first man to be inducted. Let me introduce the incomparable Lou
1388
02:00:19,360 --> 02:00:22,900
Watch your monitors watch your wide screens around
1389
02:00:23,770 --> 02:00:30,750
Luthers dominated the wrestling world yet a championship reign of 29 years he
1390
02:00:30,750 --> 02:00:40,570
first won the NWA title in 1937 he held the title at one point in his career for
1391
02:00:40,570 --> 02:00:46,510
eight straight years he finally lost it to Whipper Billy Watson he regained the
1392
02:00:46,510 --> 02:00:50,090
same the title the same year to hold it for a fifth time
1393
02:00:50,490 --> 02:00:57,430
And in 1963, Fez became the first man in history to win the title for the sixth time by defeating
1394
02:00:57,430 --> 02:00:58,930
Buddy Rogers in Toronto.
1395
02:01:01,210 --> 02:01:08,510
I might just say once again, this man's championship career spanned 29 years and just two years
1396
02:01:08,510 --> 02:01:10,490
ago he was wrestling in Japan.
1397
02:01:10,970 --> 02:01:14,810
It's a real honor and a pleasure to induct Lou Fez to the Hall of Fame.
1398
02:01:23,150 --> 02:01:32,310
Our second inductee, many times the AWA Heavyweight Champion, Fern Ganya.
1399
02:01:34,270 --> 02:01:39,870
Fern Ganya, who today is very active with the U.S. Amateur Athletic Association.
1400
02:01:40,670 --> 02:01:42,730
He's already in the collegiate Hall of Fame.
1401
02:01:43,270 --> 02:01:46,790
He's in the Helms Foundation Hall of Fame of Minnesota native.
1402
02:01:47,340 --> 02:01:52,360
He attended the University of Minnesota. That career was interrupted by service in the Marine Corps.
1403
02:01:53,120 --> 02:01:55,600
He played the football for the University of Minnesota.
1404
02:01:56,420 --> 02:02:03,440
He won the Big 10 championship in wrestling four times, NCAA champion in 1948 and 49.
1405
02:02:04,080 --> 02:02:07,820
Also a member of the US Olympics in 1948.
1406
02:02:08,580 --> 02:02:12,900
He turned professional in 1950, was a 1950 junior heavyweight champion.
1407
02:02:13,710 --> 02:02:22,310
U.S. Heavyweight Championship in 53 to 56, and then in 1959 he won the AWA World Championship.
1408
02:02:22,810 --> 02:02:28,250
He and I dispute how many times he held it. He says nine, I say my record show 14.
1409
02:02:28,790 --> 02:02:30,730
Congratulations, Fern Garnier.
1410
02:02:38,650 --> 02:02:41,430
Our third inductee this evening,
1411
02:02:43,150 --> 02:02:48,370
And you've never seen his face. He is Mr. Wrestling number two.
1412
02:02:51,050 --> 02:02:53,350
Mr. Wrestling number two's career
1413
02:02:54,290 --> 02:02:59,970
spanned at 34 years of active competition beginning in 1956.
1414
02:03:00,770 --> 02:03:07,270
He has held the North American title, the Georgia Heavyweight Championship, and many other regional titles.
1415
02:03:08,080 --> 02:03:21,780
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.
1416
02:03:22,360 --> 02:03:31,740
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.
1417
02:03:32,220 --> 02:03:40,440
He accepted, but then when the Secret Service came along and said that he could not go there with his mask,
1418
02:03:40,900 --> 02:03:42,920
he politely declined the invitation.
1419
02:03:43,400 --> 02:03:46,800
That's how much that mask is meant to him over the years at the professional wrestling.
1420
02:03:51,460 --> 02:03:53,720
I might also point out this man.
1421
02:03:54,200 --> 02:03:59,520
was the only wrestler to ever win the champion of champions award voted by the
1422
02:03:59,520 --> 02:04:02,940
fans throughout the United States. Wrestling 2, congratulations.
1423
02:04:04,040 --> 02:04:04,880
Thank you very much.
1424
02:04:11,860 --> 02:04:18,740
Lastly, as I mentioned at the very onset, there is one who is no longer with us
1425
02:04:18,740 --> 02:04:21,860
that certainly is going into the Hall of Fame tonight.
1426
02:04:22,510 --> 02:04:25,050
He will be represented here by his son
1427
02:04:26,590 --> 02:04:31,530
Man we're talking about is Eddie Graham Mike Graham
1428
02:04:32,590 --> 02:04:34,870
Will accept the black
1429
02:04:36,550 --> 02:04:41,150
Eddie of course that held the North American heavyweight championship for many times
1430
02:04:41,712 --> 02:04:47,790
When he finally settled in Tampa, Florida he developed the philosophy of giving back to the community
1431
02:04:48,430 --> 02:04:50,590
He was a firm believer in amateur wrestling.
1432
02:04:51,210 --> 02:04:56,010
He instituted amateur wrestling in the school of the sportatorium in Tampa, along with Coach
1433
02:04:56,010 --> 02:04:58,750
John Heath and Cowboy Luttrel.
1434
02:04:59,230 --> 02:05:04,390
He also even privately subsidized a wrestling coach for Robinson High School and finally
1435
02:05:04,390 --> 02:05:08,650
the entire high school system put in wrestling as a major sport.
1436
02:05:09,390 --> 02:05:14,250
who is also the gentleman who is active in all civic affairs, big brothers, big sisters,
1437
02:05:14,470 --> 02:05:19,810
Red Cross, American Cancer Society, and then he and Sheriff Ed Blackburn along with Cowboy
1438
02:05:19,810 --> 02:05:25,870
Luttrel spearheaded the drive to develop the Florida Sheriff youth ranches, one of the most
1439
02:05:25,870 --> 02:05:32,090
successful youth ranches in the entire United States, modeled after Cal Farley's youth
1440
02:05:36,380 --> 02:05:42,160
and regret that he's not here with us tonight and we present his son Mike Graham with his plaque.
1441
02:05:47,520 --> 02:05:54,720
How about it? Four great legends, the first four ever to go into the WCW Hall of Fame.
1442
02:05:55,000 --> 02:05:58,240
And now let's turn it over to Missy Hyatt.
1443
02:05:58,780 --> 02:06:04,120
Thanks Gordon, and I'm here with Mr. Hawaii Lord James Blears.
1444
02:06:04,640 --> 02:06:07,540
And someone who I think is just, he's a legend.
1445
02:06:08,480 --> 02:06:19,880
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.
1446
02:06:20,160 --> 02:06:23,680
Tell him, Miss Missy, I had a great time last night seeing my old buddies.
1447
02:06:24,650 --> 02:06:31,130
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
1448
02:06:31,130 --> 02:06:34,410
All the famers. It's just great to be here, you know
1449
02:06:34,410 --> 02:06:39,710
Due to all respect to other sports you got to say that professional wrestling today is the greatest
1450
02:06:39,710 --> 02:06:41,910
sport in the world
1451
02:06:42,432 --> 02:06:47,250
Especially WCW is the only way to spell wrestling
1452
02:06:48,300 --> 02:06:50,400
And how about you? Are you having a great time tonight?
1453
02:06:50,660 --> 02:06:57,180
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.
1454
02:06:57,340 --> 02:07:04,824
I would like to say aloha to all the people in Hawaii and all the people that do receive this signal from the WCW.
1455
02:07:05,700 --> 02:07:06,840
And I have a present for you.
1456
02:07:06,900 --> 02:07:07,200
Really?
1457
02:07:07,620 --> 02:07:13,300
An English monocle. And if you could wear this for us, we'd be very, very happy.
1458
02:07:13,460 --> 02:07:16,260
Well, telly ho, let's go back down to the ring.
1459
02:07:16,430 --> 02:07:18,450
That's lovely, very lovely, very lovely.
1460
02:07:18,490 --> 02:07:26,630
Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest, the Special Bounty Match set for one fall with a 20 minute...
1461
02:08:02,480 --> 02:08:08,720
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.
1462
02:08:09,460 --> 02:08:12,660
And ladies and gentlemen, his opponent.
1463
02:08:13,300 --> 02:08:15,640
He's from Green Bay, Wisconsin.
1464
02:08:16,700 --> 02:08:20,520
He weighs 300 and seven pounds.
1465
02:08:21,540 --> 02:08:22,520
The prisoner.
1466
02:08:24,320 --> 02:08:25,080
But what?
1467
02:08:25,860 --> 02:08:27,520
Can you read right there the prisoner?
1468
02:08:27,800 --> 02:08:29,140
Yeah, it looks more like the thing.
1469
02:08:34,060 --> 02:08:37,640
look at man Tony. Apparently
1470
02:08:37,640 --> 02:08:41,020
yesterday the prisoner and
1471
02:08:41,020 --> 02:08:43,840
Scott Norton had a run in and
1472
02:08:43,840 --> 02:08:44,860
just by looking at the prisoner
1473
02:08:44,860 --> 02:08:46,080
you know who came out ahead on
1474
02:08:46,080 --> 02:08:47,900
that one. Well if he was using
1475
02:08:47,900 --> 02:08:49,320
that tone for bar I guess it was
1476
02:08:49,320 --> 02:08:52,480
the prisoner. Sting has been in
1477
02:08:52,480 --> 02:08:54,720
all kinds of predicaments but he
1478
02:08:54,720 --> 02:08:56,220
has been able to prepare for all
1479
02:08:56,220 --> 02:08:58,120
kinds of predicaments. This is
1480
02:08:58,120 --> 02:08:59,900
the first time he is unable to
1481
02:08:59,900 --> 02:09:02,060
prepare for that or that man and
1482
02:09:03,120 --> 02:09:05,640
That's what I'm talking about, going into a match blind.
1483
02:09:06,060 --> 02:09:10,500
It's not the smart thing to do, but he has no choice here.
1484
02:09:11,840 --> 02:09:12,960
Boy, it's a big individual.
1485
02:09:13,240 --> 02:09:14,420
He's towering over the stage.
1486
02:09:14,520 --> 02:09:19,600
Three, two, one, two, one, two, three.
1487
02:09:20,000 --> 02:09:20,860
He's a wild man.
1488
02:09:20,980 --> 02:09:22,180
Look at this, choking him down.
1489
02:09:23,240 --> 02:09:24,220
He's choking him down.
1490
02:09:24,320 --> 02:09:27,500
The referee needs to get in there and try to restore some order.
1491
02:09:27,660 --> 02:09:28,260
He's going to get the squad.
1492
02:09:48,360 --> 02:09:51,720
of a second basically and he's
1493
02:09:51,720 --> 02:09:53,400
been using all of it Sting may
1494
02:09:53,400 --> 02:09:55,000
be out right here he may be
1495
02:09:55,000 --> 02:09:56,540
out well here's something
1496
02:09:56,540 --> 02:09:58,160
Sting didn't plan on an attack
1497
02:09:58,160 --> 02:10:00,120
by a gigantic mean looking man
1498
02:10:00,120 --> 02:10:01,980
and he's been all over this
1499
02:10:01,980 --> 02:10:05,720
day the prisoner again not
1500
02:10:05,720 --> 02:10:07,680
trying to pin here going for a
1501
02:10:07,680 --> 02:10:11,500
choke hold he is out it was
1502
02:10:11,500 --> 02:10:13,880
deemed a bounty match I'm not
1503
02:10:13,880 --> 02:10:15,360
so sure who put a bounty on
1504
02:10:37,450 --> 02:10:41,530
about the man, he said he's big strong and he's got Sting in big trouble.
1505
02:10:41,870 --> 02:10:44,190
He should look at Sting's eyes when he was in the corner here.
1506
02:10:44,890 --> 02:10:45,990
He has no idea what to expect.
1507
02:10:48,210 --> 02:10:51,550
First time he's tried to cover that time and Sting kicked away.
1508
02:10:53,850 --> 02:10:57,130
I don't think I've ever seen Sting take a beating like this so early on.
1509
02:11:12,910 --> 02:11:16,390
This proof vest on wow maybe he does
1510
02:11:21,330 --> 02:11:25,150
He just drew stinging up like a rag doll and now he's gonna
1511
02:11:46,640 --> 02:11:55,660
He's got more time he's back out again. He's utilizing every second of it. He's trying to hang Sting
1512
02:12:06,560 --> 02:12:12,420
This is incredible Sting has taken a vicious brutal
1513
02:12:13,920 --> 02:12:15,080
Unprovoked beating
1514
02:12:16,290 --> 02:12:23,990
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.
1515
02:12:24,450 --> 02:12:28,050
And this isn't the hands of a man who apparently does not want to win.
1516
02:12:28,450 --> 02:12:35,830
A man who apparently here had slandered Lee as Mady's first appearance in WCW and just wants to make a statement.
1517
02:12:36,190 --> 02:12:37,950
Well, you know, you've got to look at it from this side of the corner.
1518
02:12:38,190 --> 02:12:44,810
He may not want to win. If he injures Sting, if he unstinks career in a way, that is a supreme victory.
1519
02:12:45,740 --> 02:12:47,040
Well, I guess it is
1520
02:12:49,460 --> 02:12:52,460
WCW is most popular athlete in major trouble here
1521
02:12:52,460 --> 02:12:55,780
His only real move has been just to move out of the corner
1522
02:12:55,780 --> 02:13:00,260
He has hit the prisoner with a couple of blows, but the prisoner undaunted
1523
02:13:01,520 --> 02:13:02,380
There's a duck
1524
02:13:05,300 --> 02:13:11,020
One and the prisoner kicks that away and now stay trying to get some offense going
1525
02:13:42,520 --> 02:13:49,000
man to cover a new few degrees
1526
02:13:49,000 --> 02:13:52,300
off nobody in the cell at that
1527
02:14:01,520 --> 02:14:07,060
Absorbing an offensive display from Sting and going right back to it. Oh, no
1528
02:14:07,640 --> 02:14:08,700
He's got the record
1529
02:15:02,480 --> 02:15:09,820
No question that the prisoner Larry Zavisco has made his mark at WCW.
1530
02:15:15,340 --> 02:15:19,740
Our next pay-per-view and World Championship Wrestling will be Beach Flash.
1531
02:15:19,920 --> 02:15:22,460
It'll be our second Beach Flash in Beach Flash 93.
1532
02:15:22,840 --> 02:15:26,060
Comes your way exclusively on Pay-Per-View on Sunday, July 18.
1533
02:15:26,500 --> 02:15:28,620
Make sure you make your plans right now.
1534
02:15:33,910 --> 02:15:39,150
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
1535
02:15:39,150 --> 02:15:43,590
I can't move in this monkey suit. You sure can this tuxedo
1536
02:15:44,310 --> 02:15:49,870
We are having a great time. We still got three title matches while we cage up the legend Larry Zabisco
1537
02:15:49,870 --> 02:15:53,750
Let's set it up to Eric tonight with the crush I'll Eric
1538
02:15:54,140 --> 02:15:59,320
Alright, thanks a lot Tony Shavani, and here's a guy that I grew up watching on television.
1539
02:15:59,720 --> 02:16:04,860
He rolled out the barrel a whole lot of times, he's the one, he's the only, he's the crusher!
1540
02:16:05,340 --> 02:16:06,160
How about that?
1541
02:16:06,670 --> 02:16:11,570
still got the 100 megatons in my set right here and I don't know how many
1542
02:16:11,570 --> 02:16:16,050
bums I've thrown out as soon as in my life with the bruiser and here's one
1543
02:16:16,050 --> 02:16:19,750
bomb I might have missed but I want to say one thing right now I got eight
1544
02:16:19,750 --> 02:16:24,130
great fans right up there in the Midwest there in Coney, Wisconsin,
1545
02:16:33,100 --> 02:16:36,860
in Largo, Florida, Lisa and Ryan.
1546
02:16:37,400 --> 02:16:41,020
These are my grandchildren, and they like to see me get the ring with this bum
1547
02:16:41,020 --> 02:16:44,600
in a cage where I was never defeated.
1548
02:16:45,120 --> 02:16:49,920
I was in more cage matches than any wrestler, and I like to throw that two ball head
1549
02:16:49,920 --> 02:16:52,980
right through that screen, right through that fence,
1550
02:16:53,340 --> 02:16:56,020
like a throw a tomato through a screen door.
1551
02:16:56,590 --> 02:17:00,330
You know, and we're going to talk to Oxbiker about that situation in just a few moments,
1552
02:17:00,450 --> 02:17:04,890
but you were a World Tag Team Champion in the AWA with Red Bastille, Dick the Bruiser,
1553
02:17:05,030 --> 02:17:07,490
Baron Von Roschke, and you talked about all the matches.
1554
02:17:07,730 --> 02:17:12,030
In fact, you've had more matches inside of a steel cage than any man in the sport.
1555
02:17:12,190 --> 02:17:18,370
Right, and I'll tell you, most of the guys that I wrestled with in that cage were never around again,
1556
02:17:18,870 --> 02:17:20,250
and I've never wrestled again.
1557
02:17:20,520 --> 02:17:31,120
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.
1558
02:17:31,560 --> 02:17:34,920
Well, let's find out about it. How about it? Oxfaker, you made the heart punch famous.
1559
02:17:35,560 --> 02:17:41,500
You know, me and Peggy Ann were getting married and Crusher and Bruiser wanted to get inside of the cage.
1560
02:17:41,960 --> 02:17:46,160
Well, I want to tell you right here and now, Bruiser's is some way you can make it back.
1561
02:17:46,460 --> 02:17:53,140
I'd love to get in that cage because something I did for 30 years that nobody and Rasta never did.
1562
02:17:53,680 --> 02:18:01,360
When I knocked somebody down, when they was on their knees, like a gentleman, I would kick them right in the face.
1563
02:18:05,490 --> 02:18:13,010
I love to hurt people, and I have done it, it's better, you know, Crusher.
1564
02:18:14,030 --> 02:18:15,830
You better look at who I am, I just noticed that.
1565
02:18:15,990 --> 02:18:17,850
But that doesn't make any difference to me.
1566
02:18:19,290 --> 02:18:25,190
Alana, I wish I could wrestle again, but I want to say hello to my Alana friends,
1567
02:18:25,570 --> 02:18:29,650
to the legends of wrestling, to my announcer, to everybody out there.
1568
02:18:29,970 --> 02:18:30,670
I love it.
1569
02:18:33,630 --> 02:18:36,450
We got to get to the ring and I got to get out of here.
1570
02:18:36,710 --> 02:18:37,590
Take it Tony.
1571
02:18:39,150 --> 02:18:46,530
Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is for the World Tag Team Championship.
1572
02:18:47,150 --> 02:18:53,110
To be held in a giant steel cage, one fall with a 30 minute time limit.
1573
02:18:54,510 --> 02:18:57,010
Introducing first the challengers.
1574
02:18:57,480 --> 02:19:01,340
from Charlotte, North Carolina, 241 pounds,
1575
02:19:01,940 --> 02:19:05,140
Ricky, the Dragon, Steve Bows,
1576
02:19:06,080 --> 02:19:10,560
and from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 239 pounds,
1577
02:19:11,140 --> 02:19:12,840
Shane Douglas.
1578
02:19:13,340 --> 02:19:17,760
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
1579
02:19:18,940 --> 02:19:21,300
We had a win over the World Dancing Champion
1580
02:19:21,968 --> 02:19:23,660
as the Dose on Breeze.
1581
02:19:24,000 --> 02:19:28,340
We feel that these outfits have given us such good luck that tonight
1582
02:19:28,340 --> 02:19:32,880
We're gonna make it two in a row and win the world tag team championships
1583
02:19:35,900 --> 02:19:40,380
What about that layer sounds like the Montezuma's prevents toy to me
1584
02:19:41,660 --> 02:19:44,660
And ladies and gentlemen their opponents
1585
02:19:45,540 --> 02:19:47,780
They are from Hollywood, California
1586
02:20:10,160 --> 02:20:15,040
Of course, Stunning Steve, Lyon, Brian, very upset with the Dodes' ombrades on quote.
1587
02:20:15,560 --> 02:20:18,620
Still, of course, they found out it was really Steve Bowden-Douglas,
1588
02:20:18,860 --> 02:20:23,600
but just to picture these two men with these suits on and these masks,
1589
02:20:23,780 --> 02:20:28,760
that picture of horrification as they actually beat the champions.
1590
02:20:29,580 --> 02:20:32,220
This could be an excellent psychological warfare.
1591
02:20:33,460 --> 02:20:36,420
The Hollywood Blondes are here in the cage against Steamboat and Douglas.
1592
02:20:38,020 --> 02:20:42,120
Or it could be Douglas isn't steenboats version of a rabbit's foot. I don't know
1593
02:20:42,960 --> 02:20:46,460
Is this where these guys with those guys where they doing now?
1594
02:20:47,360 --> 02:20:53,240
They're dressed they look like veto and Guido. They're taking some notes as they sit down and
1595
02:20:53,860 --> 02:20:58,280
Are watching intently the Hollywood blondes. Well, they the Hollywood blond
1596
02:20:59,860 --> 02:21:03,880
Maybe their agents or something it may be maybe it's the IRS
1597
02:21:05,440 --> 02:21:06,480
You never know
1598
02:21:08,520 --> 02:21:12,500
are sitting down at ringside as we are set to go for this world tag team title match
1599
02:21:12,500 --> 02:21:16,720
in a case. Now I have no idea who the steamboat. No idea who is Douglas. If it were the Colton
1600
02:21:16,720 --> 02:21:20,440
I could tell him apart. That's what I'm telling about these psychological benefits of this.
1601
02:21:20,760 --> 02:21:25,720
Not only do you know stunning Stephen flying Brian C. You're the mask. They know it's
1602
02:21:27,500 --> 02:21:30,840
But also, it's got the same effect as the Colt brothers.
1603
02:21:31,360 --> 02:21:34,980
If these two guys get in the ring or form and get in the ring for a few seconds,
1604
02:21:35,640 --> 02:21:37,060
how do you tell which one's the legal man?
1605
02:21:37,640 --> 02:21:38,040
Exactly.
1606
02:21:39,300 --> 02:21:40,740
They're going to go for the mask.
1607
02:21:40,880 --> 02:21:44,400
That's one way to do it, rip the mask off of them, and then you'll know.
1608
02:21:45,040 --> 02:21:46,700
Now that's Steamboat, you can tell by those shots.
1609
02:21:49,420 --> 02:21:52,380
Tag, and flying Brian is in, dropped to hold by Steamboat.
1610
02:21:54,000 --> 02:22:00,040
Shot at the World Tag Team Championship. Shane Douglas on the outside has been nursing an injury thanks to the
1611
02:22:00,040 --> 02:22:05,860
Honigwood Blinds an injury that was started right here at the Omnian Atlanta during a match at the head
1612
02:22:10,540 --> 02:22:17,240
Steamo chop it away, but now the Dulce Ombré's if you will in this case
1613
02:22:19,180 --> 02:22:19,720
Steamo
1614
02:22:21,960 --> 02:22:28,960
Well, he blocked himself from having his face smashed against the cage, you know, as a wrestler, I don't like cages.
1615
02:22:29,220 --> 02:22:31,920
To me, it's too brutal.
1616
02:22:32,680 --> 02:22:37,040
I mean, your skin just gets ripped, your face gets ripped, injuries are relentless.
1617
02:22:37,700 --> 02:22:39,080
You know, I'm in this business for the money.
1618
02:22:39,360 --> 02:22:39,960
Yeah, I know that.
1619
02:22:40,320 --> 02:22:41,780
The fans are in it for the gore.
1620
02:22:42,280 --> 02:22:43,600
I hate cages.
1621
02:22:44,400 --> 02:22:45,340
Side headlock.
1622
02:22:46,100 --> 02:22:48,600
I'm sure you do, speaking of legends.
1623
02:22:49,540 --> 02:22:54,420
Speaking of arm drag take down and right to the arm one of the greatest cage matchers
1624
02:22:54,420 --> 02:22:59,460
Maybe the greatest cage match of all time was in Shea Stadium with you and Bruno San Martino was it was
1625
02:23:02,300 --> 02:23:08,580
50,000 people thousands were turned away from Shea Stadium to watch me retire my mentor
1626
02:23:17,890 --> 02:23:20,910
Shane Douglas, I assume in there one of the two Bill Sombres
1627
02:23:22,050 --> 02:23:23,090
this psychological
1628
02:23:24,270 --> 02:23:30,930
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
1629
02:23:30,930 --> 02:23:37,610
Other than the fact that you can't tell them apart an attacking man. We've seen it happen with the Cole brothers
1630
02:23:38,430 --> 02:23:41,990
Of course the black hearts basically the same thing
1631
02:23:42,760 --> 02:23:47,040
You cannot tell which one is the legal man and believe me that can benefit you.
1632
02:23:48,720 --> 02:23:53,660
The Hollywood Blinds in trouble. The Hammerlock applied by Sheen Douglas DelSombre.
1633
02:23:58,780 --> 02:24:04,260
And the Hammerlock still on now. This cage matches for the World Tag Team Championship.
1634
02:24:05,880 --> 02:24:09,440
Well there those guys are again and they are intently watching they have been taking notes.
1635
02:24:11,720 --> 02:24:17,760
You got me. Maybe there are potential agents for the Hollywood Blonde. How's my hair looking? As always. Thank you.
1636
02:24:18,480 --> 02:24:24,040
Into the midsection. They weren't looking at us. They're looking at some of these athletes. I was just kidding.
1637
02:24:26,740 --> 02:24:35,080
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.
1638
02:24:35,920 --> 02:24:37,660
Oh and Douglas. Oh
1639
02:24:38,780 --> 02:24:43,680
I mean about the cage. I hate cages. It tears your body up.
1640
02:24:44,080 --> 02:24:46,800
You might as well wrestle a few pit bulls to get the same effect.
1641
02:24:48,440 --> 02:24:53,340
Those sombrays, as we saw in the main event, they're pretty good at the Mexican head dance.
1642
02:24:53,460 --> 02:24:55,820
Yeah, whatever. I tell you what it is, it's very intimidating.
1643
02:24:56,100 --> 02:25:02,080
It has to be insulting here in the eyes of Austin and Pellman to do that little jumping bean jingle there.
1644
02:25:02,820 --> 02:25:08,740
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
1645
02:25:08,740 --> 02:25:11,980
A lot of wrestlers have little superstitious things
1646
02:25:12,900 --> 02:25:19,380
I've got one myself. I've had the same laces on my boots since I began their parachute cord
1647
02:25:19,380 --> 02:25:21,400
They don't wear it. I'm a black lace
1648
02:25:21,980 --> 02:25:27,620
Are you serious? The same laces that you can get? The same laces? I've had for 18 glorious years those boots
1649
02:25:28,180 --> 02:25:32,540
Wow, Sunday I will auction for a few million after I have them bronze
1650
02:25:34,740 --> 02:25:37,060
That's your business plan down don't you there they go
1651
02:25:42,280 --> 02:25:48,220
That's what I mean about the cage you can use it as a weapon, you know your ring position
1652
02:25:49,840 --> 02:25:54,000
Douglas I lost track already. It's one of the two anyway deliberately
1653
02:25:55,060 --> 02:25:56,020
vaulted Austin
1654
02:25:56,680 --> 02:25:58,260
Into the cage and did it again.
1655
02:25:58,460 --> 02:25:59,000
It's a weapon.
1656
02:26:01,320 --> 02:26:03,180
Stunning Steve is hurt.
1657
02:26:03,520 --> 02:26:05,260
It's like making a hash out of a steak.
1658
02:26:08,900 --> 02:26:09,380
Wow.
1659
02:26:09,780 --> 02:26:10,940
Flings him against the cage.
1660
02:26:12,020 --> 02:26:13,480
And of course the cage is cut.
1661
02:26:13,500 --> 02:26:15,540
the back in the side of Studding Steve.
1662
02:26:15,880 --> 02:26:18,360
A member after I retired Bruno and Shea Stadium,
1663
02:26:18,500 --> 02:26:20,940
both of us were bleeding head to toe.
1664
02:26:21,480 --> 02:26:24,360
Scratches all over your body, just like a meat grinder.
1665
02:26:24,600 --> 02:26:26,800
I saw that match as a matter of fact.
1666
02:26:30,800 --> 02:26:32,060
Into the head, Austin.
1667
02:26:32,580 --> 02:26:34,420
It's amazing, Austin can still walk here, Larry.
1668
02:26:35,220 --> 02:26:37,180
Yeah, I mean, Austin, you can see him.
1669
02:26:38,250 --> 02:26:44,270
You can see him, he's hurt, but he's just a tenacious mad wrestler and these guys, this is for all the gold.
1670
02:26:45,010 --> 02:26:49,410
You've got plenty of time to be sore tomorrow. You can't let it affect you tonight.
1671
02:26:52,150 --> 02:26:54,250
A reversal into the corner.
1672
02:26:56,370 --> 02:27:03,230
The ombre drops down and a gut shot right to flying Brian is back to the...
1673
02:27:03,830 --> 02:27:11,990
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.
1674
02:27:13,590 --> 02:27:23,350
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.
1675
02:27:25,830 --> 02:27:27,930
You hear Austin say, got his hair.
1676
02:27:28,680 --> 02:27:31,640
And now the Dalsa umbrates a great teamwork and that's one of the things
1677
02:27:31,640 --> 02:27:36,340
Steebo Douglas noted for great teamwork Larry well Ricky Steebo world class
1678
02:27:36,340 --> 02:27:42,680
wrestler just just full of knowledge and wisdom of course a Shane Douglas a
1679
02:27:42,680 --> 02:27:48,240
great student and that's what made this teamwork Douglas you know kept his pride
1680
02:27:48,240 --> 02:27:51,800
where it belonged when you're young and used to put your back pocket and learn
1681
02:27:51,800 --> 02:27:53,280
the wisdom from the season 10
1682
02:28:03,630 --> 02:28:08,350
just looking at that and why and Brian
1683
02:28:09,310 --> 02:28:14,390
I got him in the corner boy what a what a ploy that was why and Brian has
1684
02:28:14,390 --> 02:28:19,810
developed a very unique successful psychology here Austin's lower back is
1685
02:28:19,810 --> 02:28:24,530
hurt it looks like steamboat in the ring now
1686
02:29:04,240 --> 02:29:06,560
Sid Vicious is Gurney out here before this one's over with.
1687
02:29:06,740 --> 02:29:09,540
I tell you, if you see Sid Vicious while I got here,
1688
02:29:09,640 --> 02:29:11,120
you're going to need a whole lot of Gurneys.
1689
02:29:12,960 --> 02:29:13,400
Jawbreaker.
1690
02:29:14,660 --> 02:29:17,460
The return of Sid Vicious, the prisoner,
1691
02:29:18,660 --> 02:29:20,520
makes his appearance at WCW.
1692
02:29:21,000 --> 02:29:23,260
Two guys at ringside taking notes and shades on,
1693
02:29:23,380 --> 02:29:24,680
maybe looking at the Hollywood Blanche.
1694
02:29:25,080 --> 02:29:27,800
Maybe the reporters, magazine writers.
1695
02:29:28,490 --> 02:29:33,290
The induction into the Hall of Fame, some great legends matches, and it's been a night.
1696
02:29:33,470 --> 02:29:37,350
Could be two guys writing a book. I've been in a couple wrestling books over the past few years.
1697
02:29:37,390 --> 02:29:37,730
You have?
1698
02:29:38,090 --> 02:29:39,390
Of course I have.
1699
02:29:39,710 --> 02:29:40,470
Into the midsection.
1700
02:29:41,190 --> 02:29:42,030
Oh, yeah!
1701
02:29:42,430 --> 02:29:44,810
And now on the blinds, the World Tag Team Champions.
1702
02:29:46,330 --> 02:29:48,930
Stunning Steve having a lot of problems with that lower back.
1703
02:29:50,950 --> 02:29:55,330
tell you you get yourself slammed into a metal cage a few times you're gonna have
1704
02:29:55,330 --> 02:30:00,670
a lot of problem with your whole body but look at the movement he has stunning
1705
02:30:00,670 --> 02:30:05,450
Steve can pull it out he's an excellent tremendous tenacious Matt wrestler
1706
02:30:05,450 --> 02:30:12,490
like a human Wolverine the World Tag Team Championship steamboat in Douglas
1707
02:30:13,130 --> 02:30:18,250
under a mask against the Hollywood Wives
1708
02:30:22,540 --> 02:30:26,280
This could be at one, two, no share, no share at all.
1709
02:30:31,020 --> 02:30:33,180
I'd say that these teams definitely have the feel
1710
02:30:33,180 --> 02:30:36,080
for each other over the past few weeks.
1711
02:30:36,600 --> 02:30:38,580
They're in a cage where nobody can run out,
1712
02:30:38,700 --> 02:30:42,560
nobody can run in, this is for all the gold.
1713
02:30:43,560 --> 02:30:45,300
And look at Hillman and Austin,
1714
02:30:45,740 --> 02:30:48,180
the team work, the positioning in the corner.
1715
02:30:48,620 --> 02:30:51,660
Quick team work, quick tags, get the fresh man in.
1716
02:30:53,520 --> 02:30:58,060
I was wondering if the Blondes had their towel in with them, and that's certainly been used many times.
1717
02:30:58,640 --> 02:31:00,160
That's a good point. I don't see it.
1718
02:31:01,000 --> 02:31:02,080
Wait a minute. There it is.
1719
02:31:02,600 --> 02:31:03,480
I do see it.
1720
02:31:04,620 --> 02:31:05,980
The referee does not.
1721
02:31:06,560 --> 02:31:09,440
The towel that they've used so many times in with them again.
1722
02:31:13,820 --> 02:31:15,080
That's a choking device.
1723
02:31:23,240 --> 02:31:24,240
to win the World Tag Team
1724
02:31:24,240 --> 02:31:32,600
Championship but they was going
1725
02:31:32,600 --> 02:31:34,060
to be instrumental here so far
1726
02:31:34,860 --> 02:31:36,500
Hollywood blond or a head on
1727
02:31:36,500 --> 02:31:38,560
points teamwork has been
1728
02:31:38,560 --> 02:31:40,660
supreme they've taken some
1729
02:31:40,660 --> 02:31:43,000
punishment but they've overcome
1730
02:31:43,000 --> 02:31:44,260
it they've got Pillman in the
1731
02:31:44,260 --> 02:31:46,900
Freshman and he is going for the
1732
02:32:02,350 --> 02:32:08,210
seconds that you make sure you have your target slided in is too long and with
1733
02:32:08,210 --> 02:32:12,750
the cage up in the corner it's hard to focus your balance on things and that's
1734
02:32:12,750 --> 02:32:15,650
the way the perspective of things in your vision
1735
02:32:48,290 --> 02:32:53,610
Position here. They got to make a tag Austin. He's in the wrong corner. He don't know where he is
1736
02:32:56,830 --> 02:32:58,930
That's Douglas in the ring I can tell by that right hand
1737
02:33:06,570 --> 02:33:08,930
And a spine buster
1738
02:33:10,730 --> 02:33:15,890
He knows the way Austin get the shoulders just scooped them up. I tell you Austin
1739
02:33:16,590 --> 02:33:19,210
It's got the potential, it definitely in the next century
1740
02:33:19,210 --> 02:33:21,710
is gonna be up there receiving Legends awards
1741
02:33:21,710 --> 02:33:24,290
if your body makes it that long.
1742
02:33:24,530 --> 02:33:25,610
That's a key, isn't it?
1743
02:33:25,770 --> 02:33:27,310
Yeah, you've got to survive.
1744
02:33:27,990 --> 02:33:30,830
The singular atomic blonde that come in here.
1745
02:33:31,150 --> 02:33:32,230
Oh! Oh!
1746
02:33:33,610 --> 02:33:34,990
That's twice for Pillman.
1747
02:33:35,750 --> 02:33:35,950
What?
1748
02:33:37,810 --> 02:33:39,770
Why, they went for the high risk.
1749
02:33:40,250 --> 02:33:41,370
Why's it failed them?
1750
02:33:46,730 --> 02:33:50,450
Don't worry about the high-risk maneuvers, you're in a cage, you're not going anywhere.
1751
02:35:32,750 --> 02:35:34,010
Confusion. Who's legal?
1752
02:37:40,270 --> 02:37:44,170
match up inside of a steel cage and I'm surrounded here by some great legends
1753
02:37:44,170 --> 02:37:49,550
Stu Hart from Canada wrestling too and of course the natural Dusty Rhodes what
1754
02:37:49,550 --> 02:37:53,490
do you think about this last match just you know there's a tremendous night of
1755
02:37:53,490 --> 02:37:57,790
wrestling that happened here in the Omni tonight's pay-per-view throughout the
1756
02:37:57,790 --> 02:38:02,790
world slendering 93 to be standing out here with mr. Stu Hart and congratulations
1757
02:38:02,790 --> 02:38:04,210
to wrestling number two
1758
02:38:04,570 --> 02:38:09,790
on obtaining this Hall of Fame goal that means so much to have a wrestler around the world.
1759
02:38:10,070 --> 02:38:13,570
But I got one thing to say that just a little bit earlier,
1760
02:38:14,010 --> 02:38:20,970
I'm talking about just a little bit earlier tonight, the Dirty All Assassin came out here and he said
1761
02:38:46,440 --> 02:38:50,440
This other gentleman is he can well believe what this man said
1762
02:38:50,780 --> 02:38:55,740
He's ready. He's ready for him and for whatever he's got to take with him right along
1763
02:38:55,740 --> 02:38:57,200
But you know as far as the
1764
02:38:58,300 --> 02:39:00,980
WCW is concerned, I would like personally to
1765
02:39:00,980 --> 02:39:06,560
congratulate them and thank them very much for making this very honor
1766
02:39:06,560 --> 02:39:08,660
That I had received this evening
1767
02:39:09,480 --> 02:39:15,400
And we're making it possible for all the other fellas that was with me because you know we we all
1768
02:39:15,400 --> 02:39:19,020
contributed an awful lot to our lives and you know
1769
02:39:19,480 --> 02:39:24,400
this is you might say the big payoff and there's nothing that could capture this
1770
02:39:24,400 --> 02:39:28,220
any bigger than what it is. And we certainly appreciate having you here.
1771
02:39:28,520 --> 02:39:29,260
Thank you very much.
1772
02:39:29,640 --> 02:39:34,600
Stu Hart, a wrestling legacy in Canada. I mean wrestling is in your family, isn't it?
1773
02:39:34,740 --> 02:39:39,980
Yes it is. I have eight sons and they're all all wrestlers. I have four daughters and they're all
1774
02:39:39,980 --> 02:39:46,400
married to wrestlers. The youngest man married to D.B. Boy Smith. And the oldest tonight Hart
1775
02:39:47,840 --> 02:39:53,660
And then I have another daughter married to a BJ that has a big gymnasium in Calgary.
1776
02:39:54,100 --> 02:39:56,640
Well, let's talk about JV Boy Smith, your son-in-law tonight.
1777
02:39:56,980 --> 02:40:00,460
He steps out of the ring with Big Band Bader, the world heavyweight title on the line.
1778
02:40:01,280 --> 02:40:03,400
To say it's important is an understatement.
1779
02:40:03,660 --> 02:40:06,380
Yes, it is. I'm hoping him with all the luck in the world.
1780
02:40:06,520 --> 02:40:10,360
And JV, I figured, is one of the finest wrestlers in the world today
1781
02:40:10,360 --> 02:40:13,900
and one of the strongest in best-built men in the business.
1782
02:40:16,520 --> 02:40:25,288
Best professional wrestler and I'm hoping that with his technique and strength he'll overpower the powerful big Van Vader and
1783
02:40:26,160 --> 02:40:30,960
God bless them. I hope that my son in law becomes the next world champion
1784
02:40:30,960 --> 02:40:40,240
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
1785
02:40:40,860 --> 02:40:50,160
Ladies and gentlemen the following contest of Slamberry 93. It is for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.
1786
02:40:50,580 --> 02:40:55,780
It is set for one fall with a 45 minute time limit.
1787
02:40:56,320 --> 02:41:05,800
Introducing first the challenger from Minnesota, weighing 200 and 48 pounds, the enforcer.
1788
02:41:16,750 --> 02:41:20,070
Big tough ring master, no matter what you say about him,
1789
02:41:20,110 --> 02:41:21,910
he is one of the best in the business,
1790
02:41:22,430 --> 02:41:23,130
Arne Anderson.
1791
02:41:24,830 --> 02:41:27,790
We have seen tonight, Kelly Blanchard,
1792
02:41:28,070 --> 02:41:29,550
snubbed the Four Horsemen.
1793
02:41:29,930 --> 02:41:30,730
We have seen tonight,
1794
02:41:31,630 --> 02:41:34,070
pretty Paul Romig introduced us to the new Four Horsemen.
1795
02:41:34,370 --> 02:41:35,150
We go back to Gary.
1796
02:41:35,650 --> 02:41:37,390
And ladies and gentlemen, his opponent,
1797
02:41:38,010 --> 02:41:39,810
he's from Sweet Water Texas.
1798
02:41:40,450 --> 02:41:43,750
He weighs 278 pounds.
1799
02:41:44,220 --> 02:41:53,720
And he is the N.W.A. Wall Heavyweight Champion, Barry Windham!
1800
02:41:58,300 --> 02:42:02,060
It is basically a four horsemen battle, if you will.
1801
02:42:02,380 --> 02:42:07,740
When the man says that he is no longer a four horseman, he is the lone wolf.
1802
02:42:07,900 --> 02:42:10,020
That's more like the wolf versus the horse.
1803
02:42:10,340 --> 02:42:10,980
It sure is.
1804
02:42:11,290 --> 02:42:15,610
and this is you know this really has to be if you think about it the biggest
1805
02:42:15,610 --> 02:42:19,450
night in the career of Arne Anderson no question about it but in many ways the
1806
02:42:19,450 --> 02:42:22,470
biggest night in the career of Barry Wyndham his father blackjack Mulligan
1807
02:42:22,470 --> 02:42:26,430
competed earlier on his father is watching Barry's first world title
1808
02:42:26,430 --> 02:42:29,550
defense with his father in attendance and here we go
1809
02:42:29,550 --> 02:42:34,530
but Barry Wyndham second-generation wrestler but the whole world is watching Tony
1810
02:42:34,530 --> 02:42:36,810
that's the best team factor here
1811
02:42:37,700 --> 02:42:44,980
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
1812
02:42:44,980 --> 02:42:48,020
Arn Anderson wants this belt more than anybody
1813
02:42:48,020 --> 02:42:51,040
Barry Wyndham wants to keep it more than anybody
1814
02:42:52,180 --> 02:42:55,480
And here they are this is the dream of both of these men
1815
02:42:57,540 --> 02:42:59,600
Got an able type it'll sign hitlock
1816
02:43:00,240 --> 02:43:06,360
The enforcer aren't Anderson who's been a world tag team champion on many occasions a world television champion, but never the man
1817
02:43:07,380 --> 02:43:10,380
He's gonna try again. He almost got it
1818
02:43:12,300 --> 02:43:14,640
So close but so far I
1819
02:43:15,860 --> 02:43:19,520
Say a Barry Wyndham. He's a man. You're gonna have to design a game plan
1820
02:43:19,520 --> 02:43:25,560
You know aren't trying to catch him off guard quick. Look at the face on Wyndham. He did catch him off guard quick
1821
02:43:25,560 --> 02:43:29,300
But that's not an easy thing to do
1822
02:43:30,110 --> 02:43:32,550
Wynnum's got the experience, Arn's got the experience.
1823
02:43:32,790 --> 02:43:34,910
Talk about a game of chess.
1824
02:43:35,810 --> 02:43:36,570
This is it.
1825
02:43:37,890 --> 02:43:42,550
What about Ole Anderson coming out and Paul Roma becoming the newest member of the Four Horsemen?
1826
02:43:43,270 --> 02:43:45,590
Well, you got me by surprise there.
1827
02:43:45,690 --> 02:43:47,530
I was expecting to see Tully Blanchard.
1828
02:43:48,290 --> 02:43:49,950
I've heard rumors of the Four Horsemen.
1829
02:43:50,570 --> 02:43:52,330
Of course, Tully snubbed them.
1830
02:43:52,810 --> 02:43:54,550
Maybe Barry Wynnum got some. I don't know.
1831
02:43:54,790 --> 02:43:55,650
That's what they say.
1832
02:43:55,890 --> 02:43:57,670
There's a good elevation by Anderson.
1833
02:43:59,840 --> 02:44:04,460
You know Barry Wynnum is going to do everything he can to protect that NWA title. What a crash!
1834
02:44:08,340 --> 02:44:10,200
Maybe Arn a little bit too anxious, Larry?
1835
02:44:10,480 --> 02:44:13,280
Yeah, I mean, you're talking about the emotions, the strategies.
1836
02:44:13,740 --> 02:44:18,360
Sometimes that bell rings and your mind goes blank, no matter how much of the preparation
1837
02:44:18,360 --> 02:44:21,600
when you realize the moment is here.
1838
02:44:22,140 --> 02:44:24,760
Arn Anderson does something he don't do. Let's walk into one.
1839
02:44:26,020 --> 02:44:26,500
DDT!
1840
02:44:32,140 --> 02:44:35,500
They have waited too long, and Wyndham rolls outside.
1841
02:44:36,520 --> 02:44:38,000
Well, he cranked them.
1842
02:44:38,100 --> 02:44:41,140
You can see Barry Wyndham's retreat proves that point.
1843
02:44:41,700 --> 02:44:43,680
You make a mistake against Art Anderson.
1844
02:44:44,220 --> 02:44:46,040
You're going to pay a big tab.
1845
02:44:48,620 --> 02:44:51,540
They are on the runway.
1846
02:45:01,390 --> 02:45:04,270
holding Wyndham back you know
1847
02:45:04,270 --> 02:45:05,150
both he's been they're going to
1848
02:45:05,150 --> 02:45:07,110
have to do is really try to put
1849
02:45:07,110 --> 02:45:09,350
the emotions aside try to forget
1850
02:45:09,350 --> 02:45:10,470
who they're in there against
1851
02:45:10,470 --> 02:45:11,670
there's a lot of emotions here
1852
02:45:11,670 --> 02:45:12,990
these guys have been involved
1853
02:45:12,990 --> 02:45:15,490
together for years they know
1854
02:45:15,490 --> 02:45:16,830
each other it's a hard thing to
1855
02:45:17,170 --> 02:45:21,010
overcome Jerry Wyndham's first
1856
02:45:21,010 --> 02:45:23,630
tag team partner in its career
1857
02:45:23,630 --> 02:45:25,410
was his father Blackjack
1858
02:45:25,410 --> 02:45:25,810
Mulligan
1859
02:45:27,630 --> 02:45:31,790
But now, as singles wrestler, he is the NWA champion.
1860
02:45:32,810 --> 02:45:36,130
About his father came very close and winning many times.
1861
02:45:38,990 --> 02:45:40,670
Oh, Wyndham got it.
1862
02:45:43,010 --> 02:45:45,750
That's a couple mistakes Anderson made so far.
1863
02:45:45,830 --> 02:45:47,930
Look at Wyndham here, methodical, slow.
1864
02:45:48,460 --> 02:45:51,420
He's the champ. He's basically on defense.
1865
02:45:51,820 --> 02:45:53,880
Anderson, he wants that belt.
1866
02:45:54,260 --> 02:45:57,200
He's gonna have to be the complete off-dash here.
1867
02:45:57,300 --> 02:45:59,080
That means you're prone to make more mistakes.
1868
02:46:04,780 --> 02:46:08,440
Got a two-count, and now Wyndham on the attack here.
1869
02:46:18,700 --> 02:46:19,704
She wouldn't have now.
1870
02:46:23,820 --> 02:46:25,080
Randall get into this one.
1871
02:46:27,560 --> 02:46:30,240
You're definitely not going to make Anderson any uglier.
1872
02:46:52,090 --> 02:46:55,390
And Arn was on the outside, not on the inside, and that occurred.
1873
02:46:55,610 --> 02:46:56,930
Well, Arn couldn't throw him out.
1874
02:46:57,990 --> 02:46:58,750
He was out.
1875
02:47:04,910 --> 02:47:07,710
Here's a match Jimmy the Greek wouldn't even put outside.
1876
02:47:08,210 --> 02:47:10,510
This is the cause of the coin between these two men.
1877
02:47:11,170 --> 02:47:13,330
If you're wondering about the head to the top turbo,
1878
02:47:13,490 --> 02:47:14,490
I'm gonna win them bleeding now.
1879
02:47:14,870 --> 02:47:19,530
Run him out of the head of the, or the head of the safety rail, and in WA rules, that is legal.
1880
02:47:20,490 --> 02:47:22,650
WCW rules, head to the...
1881
02:47:22,650 --> 02:47:26,270
Well obviously it's not a safety rail for the wrestlers, Wyndham is cut open.
1882
02:48:05,350 --> 02:48:07,410
the ring it looks like it's
1883
02:48:07,410 --> 02:48:09,030
going right down into his eye.
1884
02:48:09,110 --> 02:48:11,150
And there's our Anderson taking
1885
02:48:11,150 --> 02:48:12,190
advantage of it.
1886
02:48:14,330 --> 02:48:15,730
You have to do it.
1887
02:48:22,490 --> 02:48:24,110
Anderson just can't sit there.
1888
02:48:24,250 --> 02:48:25,390
He's got to go after it.
1889
02:48:30,210 --> 02:48:31,710
Here's a smart move now.
1890
02:48:31,910 --> 02:48:33,110
Don't waste your effort.
1891
02:48:33,550 --> 02:48:35,490
You got Windham hurt make him
1892
02:48:35,490 --> 02:48:37,490
suffer make him go down slowly
1893
02:48:40,790 --> 02:48:41,930
He's got a big cash.
1894
02:48:42,110 --> 02:48:42,750
I don't even know
1895
02:48:43,490 --> 02:48:45,210
if you can see under that eye.
1896
02:48:45,390 --> 02:48:45,590
Yeah.
1897
02:48:48,850 --> 02:48:50,610
The very second star case.
1898
02:49:06,070 --> 02:49:14,090
the referee that time Anderson may have been he said on the apron going down I
1899
02:49:14,090 --> 02:49:18,970
couldn't see Anderson but I saw one big eye the size of Barry Wyndham's head and
1900
02:49:18,970 --> 02:49:24,370
he nailed and Anderson is holding his knee and I wasn't too long ago Anderson's
1901
02:49:24,370 --> 02:49:30,210
knee was messed up that's right he had arthroscopic surgery but Wyndham's face
1902
02:49:35,890 --> 02:49:36,250
Indeed.
1903
02:49:46,070 --> 02:49:48,430
Wyndham, you know, losing this blood like this, Larry,
1904
02:49:48,530 --> 02:49:49,610
it's got to take a lot out of you, too.
1905
02:49:50,250 --> 02:49:52,190
Well, it depends how much you're losing.
1906
02:49:52,270 --> 02:49:53,670
Ed Adrenaline's going, Tony.
1907
02:49:55,150 --> 02:49:55,930
He's lost a lot.
1908
02:49:56,070 --> 02:49:58,250
You don't even realize how much blood you're losing.
1909
02:49:58,390 --> 02:49:59,490
You don't even think about it.
1910
02:50:00,090 --> 02:50:02,210
The blood on Anderson is from Barry Wyndham.
1911
02:50:07,820 --> 02:50:13,420
I said one of my models you got all day tomorrow to be sore, but when it counts you got to be Superman
1912
02:50:17,460 --> 02:50:19,920
The nwa champion in the fight of his life
1913
02:50:20,400 --> 02:50:24,800
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
1914
02:50:26,620 --> 02:50:29,360
Still light on his feet though the nwa champ the lone wolf
1915
02:50:41,840 --> 02:50:44,940
You can see Wynton trying to wipe the blood out of his hide.
1916
02:50:46,540 --> 02:50:47,520
I mean, he can't see.
1917
02:50:48,180 --> 02:50:49,360
I can't see his hide.
1918
02:50:55,980 --> 02:50:57,940
Anderson, he's no member of the clergy.
1919
02:50:58,440 --> 02:51:00,160
When he gets in trouble, he's going
1920
02:51:00,160 --> 02:51:01,820
to take all the cheap shots he can.
1921
02:51:04,400 --> 02:51:08,640
You know, in fact, really, Anderson, I don't think he wants Wyndham to bleed
1922
02:51:08,640 --> 02:51:10,700
if the referee stops it, there goes the bell.
1923
02:51:11,140 --> 02:51:12,140
There when he's back, too.
1924
02:51:12,540 --> 02:51:13,340
Try to pick him up.
1925
02:51:13,980 --> 02:51:14,320
What are we doing?
1926
02:51:14,640 --> 02:51:17,260
Wyndham, one, two, no.
1927
02:51:18,820 --> 02:51:20,660
Well, Wyndham, you know, he's six foot six.
1928
02:51:20,840 --> 02:51:22,720
He's tall to pick him up in certain positions.
1929
02:51:23,360 --> 02:51:26,420
If Wyndham throws his legs out there, he knows how to use his balance.
1930
02:51:26,920 --> 02:51:28,260
He's a tough man to pick up.
1931
02:51:34,250 --> 02:51:39,990
just everything we thought it would be and more there's so much emotion in
1932
02:51:39,990 --> 02:51:42,550
these guys I can't explain it I although I could feel it
1933
02:51:42,550 --> 02:51:50,910
the fans are rocked that's his move he needs to cover Barry Windham but
1934
02:52:08,040 --> 02:52:09,400
because of the blood. I don't know.
1935
02:52:09,820 --> 02:52:13,020
Wyndham's walking away with his NWA belt.
1936
02:52:13,620 --> 02:52:15,540
After that spine buster, he's had enough.
1937
02:52:15,720 --> 02:52:16,760
Down goes Randy Anderson.
1938
02:52:45,670 --> 02:52:47,710
The bleeding has basically stopped now.
1939
02:52:48,350 --> 02:52:49,350
Thank goodness for him.
1940
02:52:52,010 --> 02:52:53,750
Well, Anderson pleases the referee around.
1941
02:52:53,850 --> 02:52:54,650
He's going to watch him tell me.
1942
02:52:54,790 --> 02:52:55,470
He doesn't want to get caught up.
1943
02:52:55,470 --> 02:52:57,670
Yeah, he's coming close. He's coming real close.
1944
02:52:57,850 --> 02:52:59,150
Yeah, there you go.
1945
02:53:00,150 --> 02:53:01,970
I don't think he should have done that.
1946
02:53:02,050 --> 02:53:03,110
And he realizes that.
1947
02:53:46,030 --> 02:53:48,710
Most of the match, but it was just a pure adrenaline
1948
02:53:48,710 --> 02:53:50,130
and a part of both of these men.
1949
02:53:50,250 --> 02:53:51,170
Look at them go here.
1950
02:53:51,770 --> 02:53:54,590
That just carried this match into the ending.
1951
02:53:54,770 --> 02:53:57,310
It had too much emotion, Tony.
1952
02:53:58,110 --> 02:53:58,770
It has gotten away.
1953
02:53:59,010 --> 02:54:01,710
Arne Anderson let the emotions get to him.
1954
02:54:02,410 --> 02:54:04,650
It was too late to say you're sorry.
1955
02:54:04,870 --> 02:54:05,510
Barry was...
1956
02:54:16,330 --> 02:54:18,190
We've had a little bit of everything tonight, haven't we?
1957
02:54:18,390 --> 02:54:19,210
Well, I'll tell you what we had.
1958
02:54:19,350 --> 02:54:22,050
There was a real big mistake on the part of Arne Anderson.
1959
02:54:22,430 --> 02:54:23,490
Too much emotion.
1960
02:54:23,990 --> 02:54:26,350
I've never seen Anderson really lose his cool like that,
1961
02:54:26,470 --> 02:54:27,890
deliberately shove a referee.
1962
02:54:28,030 --> 02:54:29,430
And you could see the look on his face.
1963
02:54:29,910 --> 02:54:32,790
He knew he thought he was getting disqualified.
1964
02:54:33,130 --> 02:54:33,790
He knew he did it.
1965
02:54:34,290 --> 02:54:36,710
But that was just too much emotion.
1966
02:54:37,030 --> 02:54:38,430
You can't lose your cool.
1967
02:54:39,080 --> 02:54:41,160
We'll see how the Davey Boy fares.
1968
02:54:41,260 --> 02:54:46,660
We still have the world title Big Van Vader and Davey Boy Smith yesterday on WCW Saturday
1969
02:54:46,660 --> 02:54:47,180
night.
1970
02:54:47,660 --> 02:54:51,640
The public workout was held and Davey Boy Smith showed his power against Big Van Vader
1971
02:54:51,640 --> 02:54:51,980
didn't he?
1972
02:54:52,140 --> 02:54:54,880
Well what he did was he butted into Big Van Vader's business.
1973
02:54:55,100 --> 02:54:58,540
Van Vader has all the right in the world to have a public workout.
1974
02:54:58,820 --> 02:55:01,020
He hired sparring partners or whatever he did.
1975
02:55:01,320 --> 02:55:02,040
Had all the right.
1976
02:55:05,720 --> 02:55:07,580
stuck his nose in where it did not belong.
1977
02:55:07,700 --> 02:55:10,080
We've had mass men, we've had memories, legends, cages,
1978
02:55:10,380 --> 02:55:12,280
blood, and we've had a lot of fun.
1979
02:55:12,480 --> 02:55:13,980
And now the world title's on the line.
1980
02:55:14,220 --> 02:55:14,820
Take it away, Gary.
1981
02:55:15,800 --> 02:55:18,060
Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest
1982
02:55:18,660 --> 02:55:23,740
it is for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship
1983
02:55:24,220 --> 02:55:28,900
set for one fall with a one hour time limit.
1984
02:55:30,100 --> 02:55:33,540
Introducing first the challenger from Manchester,
1985
02:55:36,230 --> 02:55:45,110
And 65 pounds, Davey Boy Smith, the British Bulldog!
1986
02:55:46,510 --> 02:55:51,690
You know, I see a sign, a fan is holding up on the near side ring side.
1987
02:55:51,830 --> 02:55:57,810
You see the back of the guy there that says the British Bulldog will win the WCW title for Cactus Jack.
1988
02:55:58,350 --> 02:56:03,890
And yes, the memory of Cactus Jack being taken to the emergency room
1989
02:56:05,920 --> 02:56:12,440
You know I see one more sign that says that Davey Boy Smith might have a bed next to Cactus Jack.
1990
02:56:13,120 --> 02:56:20,640
And ladies and gentlemen, his opponent to be a company to the ring by former heavyweight champion Harley Race.
1991
02:56:21,360 --> 02:56:23,240
He's from the Rocky Mountains.
1992
02:56:24,060 --> 02:56:28,300
He weighs 450 pounds.
1993
02:56:28,880 --> 02:56:32,980
The WCW World Heavyweight Champion.
1994
02:56:54,670 --> 02:56:57,690
Back in the days of the Dorey Func Jr. There you see no pain.
1995
02:56:58,190 --> 02:57:01,430
The only man feeling pain right now, I guess, is Cactus Jack.
1996
02:57:01,590 --> 02:57:03,910
When you think about what happened to him, not too long ago.
1997
02:57:04,470 --> 02:57:09,050
But you think about Luzed, Gene Koniske, Dorey Func Jr. that we see.
1998
02:57:09,650 --> 02:57:12,550
Even Mad Dog Bichon, who is AWA World Heavyweight Champion.
1999
02:57:12,870 --> 02:57:16,870
All these men have been through this situation over and over.
2000
02:57:17,370 --> 02:57:18,930
That's what made them legends, Tony.
2001
02:57:19,490 --> 02:57:21,830
But no one's ever had to face a guy this big.
2002
02:57:22,590 --> 02:57:27,350
And there's a lot about wrestling and all the champions will tell you this Larry and you've been a champion too
2003
02:57:27,350 --> 02:57:30,370
You know the last AWA champion as you said
2004
02:57:31,790 --> 02:57:33,470
There's something about momentum
2005
02:57:35,480 --> 02:57:42,060
You cannot measure in a gymnasium, you cannot put a stack to it as far as the reach or the
2006
02:57:42,060 --> 02:57:46,940
weight or the number of clinches thrown, but it's something that remains.
2007
02:57:47,380 --> 02:57:49,780
There's no man who has a momentum like Big Ben did.
2008
02:57:50,320 --> 02:57:51,880
No, the man's definitely on a roll.
2009
02:57:52,360 --> 02:57:53,260
He's got all the takes.
2010
02:57:53,660 --> 02:57:58,420
He's got something else Davey Boy doesn't have and that's a man called Harley Race.
2011
02:57:58,800 --> 02:58:03,020
Harley Race is just busting with knowledge and wisdom.
2012
02:58:03,850 --> 02:58:08,350
Last night on WCW Saturday night as we talked about the collision took place
2013
02:58:09,330 --> 02:58:12,930
Davey Boy Smith said the hurting stops here
2014
02:58:13,710 --> 02:58:19,150
And he says he's doing this for cactus Jack for Joe Thurman for sting
2015
02:58:19,150 --> 02:58:28,830
For anyone for the men that within the last two weeks on his world tour of public workouts that big fanbader has injured
2016
02:58:28,830 --> 02:58:30,270
Davey Boy Smith
2017
02:58:32,460 --> 02:58:34,340
is wrestling for them and all
2018
02:58:34,340 --> 02:58:36,440
the fans his father-in-law
2019
02:58:36,440 --> 02:58:38,920
Stewart is here slammery.
2020
02:58:39,100 --> 02:58:41,680
It's time for the two big guys
2021
02:58:41,680 --> 02:58:45,740
to lock up a little tentative
2022
02:58:45,740 --> 02:58:46,220
don't you think.
2023
02:58:46,700 --> 02:58:48,500
Well hey this is a this is
2024
02:58:48,500 --> 02:58:50,380
Davey Boy Smith chance of a
2025
02:58:50,380 --> 02:58:52,200
lifetime right here.
2026
02:58:52,400 --> 02:58:54,320
He could walk out the heavyweight
2027
02:58:54,320 --> 02:58:55,580
champion of the world.
2028
02:58:55,820 --> 02:58:57,500
He could be taken out in the
2029
02:59:06,480 --> 02:59:11,060
the use of balance Van Vader has. You lock up with him, he spreads that legs, he gets
2030
02:59:11,060 --> 02:59:18,320
a wide base and that's 450 pounds of immovable man when he does that. He knows how to use
2031
02:59:18,320 --> 02:59:18,760
his weight.
2032
02:59:44,620 --> 02:59:46,340
I mean, size is not everything.
2033
02:59:46,720 --> 02:59:49,060
It's nice, but it's not everything.
2034
02:59:49,380 --> 02:59:49,840
Watch out.
2035
03:00:17,380 --> 03:00:21,700
Later stealing them out. I think he's getting the message that baby boy is no slouch
2036
03:00:55,900 --> 03:00:59,860
And the massive hands, glove hands of the World Champion.
2037
03:01:01,240 --> 03:01:05,540
You know, that's one thing we haven't talked too much about in his matches, the glove Vader has on him.
2038
03:01:05,940 --> 03:01:06,360
The what?
2039
03:01:07,020 --> 03:01:07,560
The glove.
2040
03:04:23,210 --> 03:04:23,930
Our crucifix!
2041
03:05:10,700 --> 03:05:12,940
in the middle of the spurt and
2042
03:05:12,940 --> 03:05:16,040
Vader again you know they just
2043
03:05:16,040 --> 03:05:17,180
coming down from that position
2044
03:05:17,180 --> 03:05:19,420
driving the elbow right to the
2045
03:05:19,420 --> 03:05:22,280
midsection of Smith that's 450
2046
03:05:22,860 --> 03:05:24,540
pounds and what you look for is
2047
03:05:24,540 --> 03:05:26,160
when the man's stomach goes up
2048
03:05:26,160 --> 03:05:27,460
that means it's filling with
2049
03:05:27,460 --> 03:05:29,120
air that's when you drop the
2050
03:05:29,120 --> 03:05:29,740
elbow with.
2051
03:06:28,290 --> 03:06:31,450
Unfortunately for Smith a couple times he had Vader in trouble.
2052
03:06:32,030 --> 03:06:34,810
Vader was outside the ring and he couldn't pin up.
2053
03:06:37,310 --> 03:06:38,130
The man.
2054
03:06:39,950 --> 03:06:41,970
Well the man's going back and forth here.
2055
03:06:43,690 --> 03:06:45,070
The power of Vader.
2056
03:06:46,870 --> 03:06:50,250
One thing about Vader too and we must give you credit we've talked about the power.
2057
03:06:51,370 --> 03:06:54,210
All right the man right now, yes that was Harley Race.
2058
03:06:56,880 --> 03:07:02,620
probably not giving Vader enough credit for his endurance here Larry he's
2059
03:07:02,620 --> 03:07:07,300
taking a tremendous beating that's been the key to his success like I said a lot
2060
03:07:07,300 --> 03:07:11,360
of big men suffer from lack of endurance unable to go a long time
2061
03:07:11,360 --> 03:07:12,360
because they are huge
2062
03:07:17,990 --> 03:07:29,350
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.
2063
03:07:29,890 --> 03:07:32,250
Davey Boy Smith is bleeding for the nose.
2064
03:07:32,730 --> 03:07:33,650
I wonder why.
2065
03:07:33,970 --> 03:07:35,510
And that may be...
2066
03:07:36,230 --> 03:07:38,050
Yeah, he might have internal injuries.
2067
03:07:38,490 --> 03:07:39,990
That's right. He may be coughing up blood here.
2068
03:07:44,860 --> 03:07:49,100
But he could be coughing it up as Vader just smashed down twice at one time.
2069
03:07:49,600 --> 03:07:52,580
I saw, you know, Smith's stomach go up, which means he's full of air.
2070
03:07:52,940 --> 03:07:53,900
Well, that's when it hurts.
2071
03:08:02,920 --> 03:08:05,080
Smith not able to defend himself here.
2072
03:08:06,200 --> 03:08:07,300
What are you going to do?
2073
03:08:08,860 --> 03:08:10,560
You go try to get down.
2074
03:08:10,980 --> 03:08:11,940
He's going down.
2075
03:08:13,900 --> 03:08:18,080
He's treading, Davey Boy trying to get a foothold here, maybe just didn't vader down.
2076
03:08:18,320 --> 03:08:20,860
He had a problem with the corner of this button to hook on to.
2077
03:08:22,300 --> 03:08:23,020
Oh no.
2078
03:08:29,460 --> 03:08:33,240
He just threw him off, and now, the Bulldog!
2079
03:08:35,600 --> 03:08:36,700
He goes down too.
2080
03:08:38,080 --> 03:08:39,140
Bleeding for the nose.
2081
03:08:39,680 --> 03:08:41,780
Well he hit put it vader from the rope.
2082
03:08:42,430 --> 03:08:44,170
I think he knocked himself cold.
2083
03:08:44,250 --> 03:08:45,090
I think so too.
2084
03:08:51,530 --> 03:08:54,470
You know, I can't look at Smith in this angle, Tony.
2085
03:08:54,610 --> 03:08:55,790
He's not coughing up blood.
2086
03:08:56,130 --> 03:08:57,950
It looks to me like Vader broke his nose.
2087
03:09:00,250 --> 03:09:02,210
He's got a big bruise on his nose and it's bleeding.
2088
03:09:02,670 --> 03:09:03,390
Oh, he picks him up!
2089
03:09:12,910 --> 03:09:14,770
You're gonna have to hook Vader to hold his shoulders down.
2090
03:09:15,130 --> 03:09:15,830
Right, right, right, right.
2091
03:09:15,970 --> 03:09:16,730
You're gonna have to hook the legs.
2092
03:09:16,810 --> 03:09:19,890
You're right, but how much pressure and power and moves
2093
03:09:19,890 --> 03:09:23,030
is it gonna take to keep Big Ben Vader down for a three count?
2094
03:09:23,670 --> 03:09:25,430
It's gonna take a good hook.
2095
03:09:25,590 --> 03:09:27,010
You're gonna have to catch Vader off guard.
2096
03:09:27,150 --> 03:09:30,810
You're gonna have to pray, pray Smith.
2097
03:09:33,730 --> 03:09:34,830
Vader is hurting.
2098
03:09:35,090 --> 03:09:36,250
He is holding his sternum.
2099
03:09:37,710 --> 03:09:38,510
Well, obviously.
2100
03:09:41,080 --> 03:09:45,720
The right hand, and Gave catches Jack, a concussion, the full dog.
2101
03:09:48,120 --> 03:09:50,120
There you go! Here it is!
2102
03:09:52,000 --> 03:09:55,780
Oh, he tried. He didn't have a hook good enough when he rolled him back.
2103
03:09:56,160 --> 03:09:59,460
He just lost the hook. Invader is a huge man.
2104
03:09:59,920 --> 03:10:03,960
To keep him rolled up for, you know, rolled up for more than three seconds is a feat.
2105
03:10:26,780 --> 03:10:33,120
The athletes of yesterday and today meeting at Slamber and we have seen some
2106
03:10:33,120 --> 03:10:37,780
classic matches and we have seen some heavy-hitting matches. This is what it's
2107
03:10:37,780 --> 03:10:41,080
all about. World Championship Wrestling. The World.
2108
03:11:19,750 --> 03:11:21,410
Davey Boy Smith is hurt
2109
03:11:50,510 --> 03:11:53,070
the British Bulldogs, clawing, scraping,
2110
03:11:53,750 --> 03:11:55,110
trying to get back to the ring,
2111
03:11:55,290 --> 03:11:56,310
but the world champ don't know.
2112
03:11:56,950 --> 03:11:57,350
They're relentless.
2113
03:11:58,550 --> 03:11:59,410
Yeah, there he goes.
2114
03:11:59,790 --> 03:12:01,630
Just pound and spit to Olivia.
2115
03:12:02,310 --> 03:12:04,410
I mean, David Boyd gave it a good effort,
2116
03:12:04,870 --> 03:12:05,970
gave it a great effort,
2117
03:12:06,450 --> 03:12:08,230
but he's just getting pinnacle now.
2118
03:12:08,470 --> 03:12:10,590
He's just getting beat down to a pulp.
2119
03:12:11,290 --> 03:12:12,750
I mean, if it's too hard, head of hard,
2120
03:12:13,130 --> 03:12:15,370
he might come out here and throw the towel in for the shot.
2121
03:12:15,510 --> 03:12:16,370
Oh, absolutely not.
2122
03:12:18,380 --> 03:12:19,760
You're right, he's a son-in-law.
2123
03:12:20,080 --> 03:12:22,380
Well, no, I mean, the fact is, of the beatings you took,
2124
03:12:22,500 --> 03:12:24,620
and you took some beatings, everyone has in this fight.
2125
03:12:24,620 --> 03:12:27,240
Did you ever want to throw in the towel?
2126
03:12:27,480 --> 03:12:28,240
No, you never did.
2127
03:12:28,320 --> 03:12:30,480
No, I was never in that dire of a situation.
2128
03:12:31,060 --> 03:12:33,260
There's plenty of towels thrown in on my opponent,
2129
03:12:33,500 --> 03:12:34,260
and that's humane.
2130
03:12:34,700 --> 03:12:35,340
Look at Smith.
2131
03:12:36,640 --> 03:12:37,400
That's inhumane.
2132
03:12:43,920 --> 03:12:48,280
And as you can see, Clamping trying to get the British Bulldog back to his feet.
2133
03:12:52,000 --> 03:12:59,600
To say this match is rugged, brutal, vicious would be a mere understatement here.
2134
03:13:44,080 --> 03:13:46,240
into hard to hold a man down there.
2135
03:16:10,340 --> 03:16:11,920
Sum it up, man. What did you think of that match?
2136
03:16:12,240 --> 03:16:13,320
What an exciting evening.
2137
03:16:13,760 --> 03:16:18,040
When you put the most coveted prize and sport on the line, the world's heavyweight title,
2138
03:16:18,340 --> 03:16:20,680
it brings everybody up to a new level of performance.
2139
03:16:21,220 --> 03:16:24,900
Big Van Vader did everything it took and more to hold on to that title.
2140
03:16:25,000 --> 03:16:27,200
He didn't care what anybody thought about it, obviously.
2141
03:16:27,720 --> 03:16:31,240
So there's going to be a whole lot more to be settled between these two big men,
2142
03:16:31,500 --> 03:16:33,200
because I can see they're going to be destined.
2143
03:16:33,530 --> 03:16:35,610
to be battling a long time over the world's title.
2144
03:16:35,890 --> 03:16:38,450
And we've been talking about now for weeks the intensity.
2145
03:16:38,870 --> 03:16:40,890
And Davey Boy Smith's eyes, and we certainly
2146
03:16:40,890 --> 03:16:42,810
saw that intensity here tonight.
2147
03:16:42,970 --> 03:16:47,790
And he proved that he is one man that can take it to that 450
2148
03:16:47,790 --> 03:16:49,190
pound world heavyweight ship.
2149
03:16:49,370 --> 03:16:50,110
Man, what a match.
2150
03:16:50,330 --> 03:16:52,350
You know, Bader's calling himself the bow of the woods
2151
03:16:52,350 --> 03:16:53,190
and rightly so.
2152
03:16:53,330 --> 03:16:56,130
You're 400 plus pounds when you're wearing the strap
2153
03:16:56,130 --> 03:16:58,370
around your waist that says you're the best in the world,
2154
03:16:58,570 --> 03:17:00,310
then you can take names all you want.
2155
03:17:00,520 --> 03:17:04,120
He can walk the walk, talk the talk, and do whatever he wants inside the ring.
2156
03:17:04,480 --> 03:17:08,740
But as long as men like Sting and Davey Boy Smith, they're gonna stand up and meet.
2157
03:17:09,140 --> 03:17:14,980
Give him the challenge that he was, then that is gonna keep everybody searching for the top of the sport.
2158
03:17:15,360 --> 03:17:17,300
Well, Magnum, it was great to have you here with us.
2159
03:17:17,460 --> 03:17:19,400
And now let's get back to Tony and Larry.
2160
03:17:20,490 --> 03:17:24,370
Okay Eric, thank you very much and what a night it has been here in Atlanta at
2161
03:17:24,370 --> 03:17:29,510
Slambery. We are joined by Vern Ganya who was tonight inducted into the Hall of
2162
03:17:29,510 --> 03:17:33,070
Fame. Congratulations for that. It's great to be standing beside you. It's been a
2163
03:17:33,070 --> 03:17:36,910
great night. Great to have you part of Slambery. Well I'll tell you, this has been
2164
03:17:36,910 --> 03:17:41,530
something. It's been a real eye-opener. I think you have to say this after watching
2165
03:17:41,530 --> 03:17:44,450
this night. I think all the people at home watching this will agree with me.
2166
03:17:51,340 --> 03:17:59,480
I saw so much talent here tonight that I'm actually not only excited, but I'm really shocked.
2167
03:17:59,640 --> 03:18:02,480
I didn't realize that they had this good.
2168
03:18:03,300 --> 03:18:08,380
The athlete here in the WCW, I don't know why I didn't before, but certainly tonight
2169
03:18:08,380 --> 03:18:15,020
proved that the king of wrestling here in the world is right here in the WCW.
2170
03:18:15,440 --> 03:18:16,400
Larry's been a great night.
2171
03:18:16,520 --> 03:18:17,220
Thanks for your help, man.
2172
03:18:17,420 --> 03:18:19,480
Of course it has, and I'll say it one more time.
2173
03:18:20,360 --> 03:18:25,660
Time fears only the pyramids and the legends of professional wrestling.
2174
03:18:25,920 --> 03:18:26,840
Good night from Atlanta!
