Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for October 23, 1995

"Macho Man" Randy Savage beats Kurasawa.

After the first match, the arena goes black. We hear from The Master, who says the insurance policy for The Dungeon of Doom (The Taskmaster, The Giant, The Zodiac, The Shark, Kamala) has been delivered from the Himalayas in a 13-foot-tall block of ice: The Yeti. "Mean" Gene interviews The Taskmaster and The Giant, who says that Hulk Hogan dresses in black because he now walks in the shadow of madness and says that there's no goodness left in Hogan. The Giant says he will take the last life of the "red-and-white Bengal Tiger" Hulk Hogan and take the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Hulk Hogan at the entrance ramp. Hulk knows it's the eleventh hour and that he might be boxed in, but he isn't afraid of The Dungeon of Doom (The Taskmaster, The Giant, Kamala, The Shark, The Zodiac, The Yeti). He says that after Halloween Havoc, he just might hang on to the black gloves as everyone knows what a man with black gloves and a black bandanna is capable of. As he takes his neck brace off and throws it down, he says he won't lick his wounds anymore and call his "main man" Tony Carlini at the California Connection and get a big black Harley-Davidson to drag The Giant around with. As for Sting, "Macho Man' Randy Savage and Lex Luger, he tells them all to get in line and decide who's bad enough so he can beat them all one at a time.

This Saturday on WCW Saturday Night: The American Males (Marcus Alexander Bagwell and Scotty Riggs) defend the WCW World Tag Team Championships aganst Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray)! Lex Luger vs. The Shark! Hulk Hogan makes an appearance!

Before the next match, it is revealed that "Das Wunderkind" Alex Wright is on crutches, as he could not get a doctor's release for his injured knee. He is replaced in the match by Mr. J.L. as he watches the match from ringside.

Mr J.L. and Eddie Guerrero beat Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko when "Das Wunderkind" Alex Wright trips up Malenko with one of his crutches while the ref's back is turned. During the match, it is announced that Scott "Flash" Norton is fighting with The Shark backstage, weeks after The Shark inadvertently cost Norton a match. Bunkhouse Buck and "Dirty" Dick Slater try to hold Norton back as The Zodiac tries to keep The Shark at arm's length. After the match, Flyin' Brian rushes out beats up Eddie Guerrero for absolutely no reason, hitting him with a DDT on the concrete floor near the entrance ramp.

Sting and Lex Luger beat Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray). During the match, Sister Sherri is seen looking at Polaroid pictures of herself and Col. Robert Parker. After the match, The Taskmaster and The Giant show up, and The Giant choke slams both Sting and Luger. "Macho Man" Randy Savage shows up to confront The Giant as The Taskmaster runs away, and Hulk Hogan shows up soon after "Macho Man" Randy Savage gets out of the ring so Hulk can confront The Giant himself. Hulk is able to land only two right hands before The Giant lands a clubbing blow, but that only gets Hogan to Hulk up and fight back. The Taskmaster and the rest of the Dungeon of Doom (The Zodiac and The Shark) show up, but Hulk and Savage clean house before a huge rumbling sound can be heard. The block of ice at the entrance ramp breaks, and a giant mummy pops out of it in the final few seconds of the show.
