Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for June 17, 1996

It is announced that Tony Schiavone will be on both hours of the show, due to the beating that Eric Bischoff received last night at the hands of Diesel and Razor Ramon.

Rick Steiner beats Stevie Ray. Immediately after the match, Booker T attacks Rick, and he and Stevie Ray are about to hit the Harlem Hangover on Rick when Scott Steiner shows up and protects Rick.

Before the next match, Disco Inferno says that everyone came to see him dance, and asks everyone if they want to see him dance. He is about to dance, but Joe Gomez' music plays instead.

Joe Gomez beats Disco Inferno in his Nitro debut after reversing a pin attempt from a cocky Disco. During the match, it is mentioned that Hulk Hogan called WCW recently, saying if that there is a war going on, he wants his name in the hat. Also, the encore for The Great American Bash is on June 18th.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. Debra McMichael says she turned against Kevin Greene because of the great company and for the money. Flair brags about Kevin Greene lying in a hospital bed, and tells "Macho Man" Randy Savage that Miss Elizabeth won't be coming back to him and that he will find out why he's on the top of the world, and that he will get hurt and get hurt bed.

The Four Horsemen ("The Enforcer" Arn Anderson and "The Crippler" Chris Benoit) beat The American Males (Marcus Alexander Bagwell and Scotty Riggs) after Anderson grabs onto Riggs' foot during the pinfall. "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Anderson and Benoit after the match. Anderson says that everyone is in shock, and that everybody likes when somebody says what they're going to do and then does it. The Horsemen are now at full strength, and while he had a deal with The Taskmaster, one man takes a bath and the other gets rich when a deal goes south, and says it must be tough for The Taskmaster down at the bottom of the wading pool and that there is only room for four Horsemen. Benoit tells Taskmaster that every action has a reaction, and his quest to nullify the Horsemen lead to them becoming stronger than ever.

John Tenta stops Jimmy Hart form interfering - and puts his foot on the ropes - to beat Big Bubba. After the match, Tenta chases after Jimmy Hart, who tosses a loaded sock to Big Bubba. Big Bubba nails Tenta with the loaded sock, which is full of nickels. "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Jimmy Hart and Big Bubba, and Jimmy Hart says that he will be getting back at those who turn on The Dungeon of Doom as Big Bubba brags about beating John Tenta up.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews the recently reinstated "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Savage says he plans to take his time and be calculated with Flair, who he says is distracted with all the women at ringside. He says he's not all there, but he's staying in WCW forever for there is no man that can put him down. As for the psychiatric help, everything's going well.

As the second hour begins, "Macho Man' Randy Savage heads to commentary and forces Bobby "The Brain" Heenan to back up to the ring briefly before he can join in on commentary.

Before the net match, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair tells "Macho Man" Randy Savage that every man, at some point in life, experience the agony and pain of defeat, and that in Savage's case, he is experiencing agony, defeat and divorce. Savage simply tells Ric Flair he's going to kick his ass. Savage gets some shots in before the bell can ring or before Flair can remove his robe.

"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair beats "Macho Man" Randy Savage after Savage knees Flair behind and knocking him into the ref, getting a second top rope elbow drop in despite Debra McMichael, Woman and Elizabeth throwing themselves in front of Flair, and fights off both "The Crippler" Chris Benoit and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson only to get hit twice with a briefcase by Steve "Mongo" McMichael.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The Taskmaster, Jimmy Hart and The Giant. Jimmy Hart tells Taskmaster that he could not trust anybody in the Four Horsemen after getting rid of Flyin' Brian. Taskmaster says that wars has been declared all over WCW, and that he's been in violent fights his whole life. But last night, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson made the deal with "The Crippler" Chris Benoit instead of him, and he tells Anderson he has a strange mentality and a fine line between pain and pleasure in his head. The Giant says the problems started when The Four Horsemen called themselves the elite, yet they're incapable of taking the WCW World Heavyweight Championship from him. He declares himself the best to ever come out of The Dungeon of Doom, and anybody in the Dungeon is better than any Horseman can ever dream to be. He dares The Four Horsemen to step in the ring with him, as they will all fall down in the end.

We get our first close-up look at Glacier.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Rey Mysterio, Jr. He's not impressed with Dean Malenko's victory at The Great American Bash, and even though he respects him a lot, he plans to show Malenko what he's made of.

Dean Malenko retains the WCW Cruiserweight Championship against Rey Mysterio, Jr.

Glacier is coming to WCW in July!

"Mean" Gene Okerlund announces that he has just come back from high-level meeting with WCW officials backstage, and that earlier in the week, six of WCW's top guys have been announced to meat Razor Ramon and Diesel, who are refereed to by Okerlund as "outsiders." The six names were Hulk Hogan, The Giant, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, Lex Luger, Sting and "Macho Man" Randy Savage. The three men picked to represent WCW at Bash at the Beach are Lex Luger, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Sting, and they will three men at the outside on the night of Sunday, July 7th.
