1996
[edit]Bash at the Beach
[edit]- [At the end of the Rey Mysterio Jr./Psychosis match]
- Tony: In the words of the late Mel Allen, "How about that?!"
- Dusty: Yeah, holy cow! Phil Rizzuto!
- Bobby: And like Harry Caray would say is "I'll have one!"
- Tony: Would you please?!
- Michael Buffer: Ladies and gentlemen, your attention, please. Tonight here at the 1996 WCW Bash at the Beach, an event like no longer in the history of professional wrestling is about to take place. A group of outsiders have threatened the sanctity of WCW with a hostile takeover. A lottery has been held among the great superstars of World Championship Wrestling, and three men have been selected to defend the honor and possibly the very existence of the WCW. Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready?!
- [The crowd cheers]
- Tony Schiavone: Damn right we are.
- Michael: WCW fans, are you rrrrrrrrrrrrrready?!
- Dusty Rhodes: Let's do it.
- Michael: For the thousands in attendance here at ringside and the millions watching around the world on television, ladies and gentlemen, [drawing it out] LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!
- Michael: Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, let me introduce the men whose plan and goal is to take over the WCW with force and hostility. We were told there would be three of these interlopers, and I must apologize as I have been informed, and as you can see, there are only two. Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the Outsiders!
- Mean Gene Okerlund: Gentlemen, if I could have your attention. I don't have police protection with me at this time, but I want to confront you in front of this full house here at the Ocean Center and millions of others across the country and around the world. I don't see three men here tonight; where is your partner?
- Scott Hall: You know, Scheme Gene, Chico, you know too much already. All you need to know, little man, is he's here, and he's ready.
- Mean Gene: [turns to Kevin Nash] Well, wait a minute. Is your partner telling me that your third man is in the building?
- Kevin Nash: Oh, he's here all right, Gene. Let me tell you something. We got enough to handle it right now, right here.
- Tony: And then there was one, and it was Sting and he doesn't look too good.
- [Hulk Hogan comes out]
- Dusty: Hulkamania!
- Tony: Hulk Hogan! Hulk Hogan's here!!
- Dusty: Hulk Hogan is in the building!
- Tony: You're damn right, he is!
- Dusty: Go get 'em, Hulkster!
- Bobby Heenan: Yeah, but whose side is he on?
- Dusty: Go...what are you talkin' about?
- Bobby: Whose side is he on?
- Dusty: What are you talking about?
- Tony: [as Hogan rips his shirt off and the Outsiders leave] Yes sir!
- Dusty: Get 'em Hogan! Go get 'em baby!
- Tony: Come on and get some of this now!
- Dusty: Who's bad now boys?
- Tony: Hulk Hogan arrived, Hulk, Hulk - [Hogan pushes off Peewee Anderson and drops the leg on Randy Savage] OH MY GOD!!!
- Dusty: WHAT IS HE DOING?!! IS HE THE THIRD MAN?!!
- Bobby: He's the third man!
- Dusty: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!!
- Bobby: [as Hogan greets The Outsiders] Hulk Hogan has betrayed WCW! He is the third man in this picture.
- Tony: Oh my God!
- Dusty: What the hell is going on?!
- Tony: Oh my God!!
- Dusty: Are you kidding me?!
- Bobby: Probably the lowest shot ever given to professional wrestling. That man did right there, Hulk Hogan.
- Tony: Let's get everybody out of the dressing room right now and kick his rear end!
- Dusty: Unbelievable, brother. You've just sold your soul to the devil.
- Bobby: What have I been saying all these years? Huh, what have I been saying all these years? You humanoids can...
- Dusty: [as Hogan drops a 3rd leg on Savage] A career of a lifetime right down the drain kid! I hope you love it. You just sold your soul to the devil.
- Bobby: [as Hall counts the pin of Hogan on Savage] Can you see the little Hulksters with tears rolling down their faces right now?
- Tony: We are not even going to acknowledge that three count.
- Bobby: Now, what happens to us? What happens now to WCW?
- Tony: There was no three count. I'd never thought I would say that he's yellow, but he may be wearing red, but he's wearing red AND yellow!
- Bobby: What do we do now?
- Dusty: I tell you what, this is a... unbelievable situation at the Bash at the Beach. Hulkamania, the third guy with the Outsiders, betrayed WCW.
- Tony: Can't talk.
- Bobby: Well, I told you so.
- Dusty: Enjoy it my friend. You got to look yourself in the mirror. You got to stand up and look in the mirror.
- Tony: [the crowd starts throwing trash at Hogan] There you go, that's right.
- Bobby: I never thought I'd see people throwing debris at Hulk Hogan. I knew it should have been done a long time ago.
- Tony: I guess this was premeditated all the way back from '94. I guess this is what it was.
- Bobby: Look at the ring.
- Tony: The most incredible scene...
- Bobby: And Savage, his best friend, one of his best friends, Hogan turns on him.
- Mean Gene: Hulk Hogan, excuse me. Excuse me. What in the world are you thinking?
- Hulk Hogan: Mean Gene, the first thing you need to do is to tell these people to shut up if you want to hear what I've gotta say!
- Mean Gene: I have been with you for so many years. For you to join up with the likes of these two men absolutely makes me sick to my stomach! And I think that these people here and a lot of other people around the world have had just about enough of [points to Outsiders] this man and this man. And you want to put yourself in this group? You've gotta be kidding me!
- Hulk: Well, the first thing you've gotta realize, brother, is this right here is the future of wrestling. You can call this the New World Order of wrestling, brother. These two men right here came from a great big organization up north, and everybody was wondering who the third man was. Well, who knows more about that organization than me, brother?
- Mean Gene: I've been there and done that. You have made the wrong decision in my opinion.
- Hulk: Well, let me tell you something, I made that organization a monster! I made people rich up there. I made the people that ran that organization rich up there, brother. And when it all came to pass, the name Hulk Hogan, the man Hulk Hogan got bigger than the whole organization, brother! And then Billionaire Ted, amigo, he wanted to talk turkey with Hulk Hogan. Well, Billionaire Ted promised me movies, brother; Billionaire Ted promised me millions of dollars; and Billionaire Ted promised me world-caliber matches. And as far as Billionaire Ted goes, Eric Bischoff, and the whole WCW goes, I'm bored, brother. That's why these two guys here, the so-called Outsiders, these are the men I want as my friends. They're the new blood of professional wrestling, brother! And not only are we gonna take over the whole wrestling business, with Hulk Hogan and the new blood, the monsters with me, we will destroy everything in our path, Mean Gene.
- Mean Gene: [referring to the increasing garbage being thrown in the ring] Look at all of this crap in this ring! This is what's in the future for you if you want to hang around the likes of this man, Hall and this man, Nash.
- Hulk: As far as I'm concerned, all this crap in the ring represents these fans out here. For two years, brother, for two years, I held my head high. I did everything for the charities. I did everything for the kids. And the reception I got when I came out here, you fans can stick it, brother! Because if it wasn't for Hulk Hogan, you people wouldn't be here. If it wasn't for Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff would be still selling meat from a truck in Minneapolis. And if it wasn't for Hulk Hogan, all these Johnny-come-latelies that you see out here, wrestling wouldn't be here. I was selling out the world, brother, while they were bumming gas to put in their car to get to high school. So the way it is now, brother, with Hulk Hogan and the New World Organization of wrestling, brother, me and the new blood by my side. Whatcha gonna do when the New World Organization runs wild on you?! Whatcha gonna do? What are you gonna do?!
- Mean Gene: Hey, don't touch me, I've got a fleet of lawyers! Tony, Bobby, Dusty, dammit, let's get back to you!
- Tony: Alright, we have seen the end of Hulkamania. For Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, for Dusty Rhodes, Gene Okerlund...I don't know. I'm Tony Schiavone. Hulk Hogan, you can go to hell. We're outta here. Straight to hell.
1998
[edit]Halloween Havoc
[edit]- Tony Schiavone: [on Goldberg's hard open of his dressing room door] Did you see that door?
- Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: He's ready, too.
- Tony: He almost ripped it off the hinges getting out of there. [Goldberg makes his walk, surrounded by security guards] You know, this is an intimidating sight. If you're an opponent in the ring, you can see on the large screens the long walk that he has from the ring.
- Bobby: Wait a minute. I can see from my vantage point here, Diamond Dallas is standing in the opposite corner, his head's down, he's leaning against the ropes, he's in deep concentration. He's not watching Goldberg coming out here, he's getting himself ready!
- Tony: That's a great point that you brought up, Brain. We talk about the intimidation that Goldberg has, and Page is not letting that affect him at all.
- Bobby: He knows he may never be here again. It's the chance of a lifetime, don't blow it.
Starrcade
[edit]- [Goldberg fights off Disco Inferno and Bambam Bigelow]
- Tony Schiavone: Not supposed to be here, sending him to jail.
- Bobby Heenan: Meanwhile Nash gets a break... [Goldberg prepares a Spear for Kevin Nash, but Scott Hall appears and jams an electric stun baton on his chest]
- Schiavone: [sees Goldberg go down] What was that??
- Heenan: It's one of those tasers the police use! [Hall leaves]
- Mike Tenay: It's like a stun gun. That was Scott Hall!
- Schiavone: That was Scott Hall, and you could hear it as quick as he was, like a cattle prod or a stun gun.
- Tenay: Kevin Nash never saw that.
- Schiavone: and he jammed it in the midsection of Goldberg.
- Heenan: [Nash readies the jackknife powerbomb] Oh no..
- Tenay: Wait a minute...
- Schiavone: He
- Tenay: [as Goldberg falls] Jackknife powerbomb!!!
- Schiavone: Could this be it?!? [ref count] One, two, three!
- Heenan: The Streak is over!!
- Tenay: And we have a new World Champion.
- Heenan: The Streak is over... 173 and 1 and a new world champion, Kevin Nash is crowned the World's Heavyweight Champion.
2000
[edit]Bash at the Beach
[edit]- Tony Schiavone: We go back, though, a few weeks ago, the power... the Jackhammer by Goldberg on the back of Hogan through the table, wondering if Hogan could even come back. We have not seen Hogan since that time. We all knew. Scott, I knew, much as you won't admit, Madden, you knew that Hogan would make it back to Bash at the Beach.
- Mark Madden: No, no, I knew he'd never miss a big pay-per-view payday... [As soon as the bell rings, Jeff Jarrett lies down in the middle of the ring] What's Jeff doing?! What's Jeff doing?!
- Scott Hudson: Is it Halloween Havoc all over again?
- Mark: Russo's... I think Russo told Jarrett to lie down.
- Scott: Russo's holding up the belt like, "you want the belt? Pin the man. Jarrett's down."
- Tony: And Hogan is as shocked as we are.
- Vince Russo: There's only one way for me to do this, and that's for me to tell it like it is. You know, three weeks ago, I left WCW.
- Crowd: RUSSO SUCKS!
- Vince: Three weeks ago, I left WCW, and quite frankly, I didn't know if I was gonna come back. And the reason I didn't know I was gonna come back or not is because, from day one that I've been in WCW, I've done nothing, nothing but deal with the bullshit of the politics behind that curtain. The fact of the matter is, I've got a wife, I've got three kids at home and I really don't need this shit. But let me tell you why I did come back. I came back for every one of the guys in that locker room that week in, week out bust their ass for WCW. I came back for the Booker Ts. I came back for every single guy in MIA. I came back for the Animals, I came back for Jarrett, I came back for the guys behind that curtain that give a shit about this company. And let me tell you who doesn't give a shit about this company. That goddamn politician, Hulk Hogan.
- Because let me tell you people what happened in this ring tonight. All day long, I'm playing politics with Hulk Hogan, because Hulk Hogan tonight wants to play his creative control card, and to Hulk Hogan, that meant that tonight, in the middle of this ring, when he knew it was bullshit, he beats Jeff Jarrett! Well, guess what, Hogan got his wish. Hogan got his belt and he went the hell home, and I promise everybody or else I'll go in the goddamn grave, you will never see that piece of shit again!
- But I also... I sat out there with the people just like you, and I know you paid good money to come here tonight, and nobody is gonna be ripped off here tonight. So Hulk Hogan now has the WCW belt. And Hulk, let's refer to that as the Hulk Hogan Memorial Belt, because from here on in, that belt don't mean shit! Because there will be a new WCW belt, and as far as I'm concerned, that belt still belongs to the one guy that bust his ass week in and week out in the middle of this ring, and you people can love him or hate him, but that guy doesn't screw anybody back there, and that's Jeff Jarrett.
- Now hold on a minute. Jeff Jarrett is still the official WCW Champion, but he will defend that title in this ring tonight. He will defend that title against the son-of-a-bitch back there who for 14 years has been busting his ass in WCW and can't get a goddamn break because of the Hulk Hogans - and I'm talking about Booker T! Booker T and Jeff Jarrett are the two reasons why I'm in this damn stinking business to begin with. So tonight in this ring, for the WCW Title, two deserving guys, Jarrett and Booker will compete for the WCW, and they'll tear this goddamn house down. And Hogan, you big bald son of a bitch, kiss my ass!
- Tony: [as Jarrett climbs to the top rope with a guitar] He's doing everything in his power to keep the championship. He's got another acoustic equalizer, Scott. He's got it, and I wanna tell you, he hits it right now, it's over with.
- Scott: Billy Silverman just got Stroked out by the World Champion.
- Tony: Booker doesn't see Jarrett... [As Jarrett jumps, Booker catches him and hits the Book End] BOOK END! BOOK END! [Mark "Slick" Johnson rushes to the ring and counts] There's the referee...two...THREE!
- Scott: WE'VE GOT A NEW CHAMPION!
- Mark: Oh my God! Booker T's the World Champion! Booker T's the Champ!
- Tony: I can't believe it!
- Scott: He came to the building fighting one man, he fought the champion! He won the gold, he is the top man in this sport!
- Tony: He caught him with the Book End! Look at the fans standing! They're raising the roof with Booker T, the World Heavyweight Champion! What a moment in WCW history this is!
- Scott: Hard work pays off! Booker T busted his ass for 14 years, and he is now the heavyweight champion of the world!
- Mark: Hard work paid off for the people who bought this pay-per-view, too. Hard work entertained everybody. This is what it should have been like a long time ago! A long time ago! Finally, the new WCW really is the new WCW!
