Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for February 24, 1997

Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and "Flyboy" Rocco Rock) beat Steve "Mongo" McMichael and Jeff Jarrett when McMichael smacks Jarrett in the back with the steel Halliburton briefcase, refusing to recognize Jarrett as a member of The Four Horsemen. "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson show up, and "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews the Horsemen. Mongo is still sore with Jarrett beating him at SuperBrawl VII, and doesn't exactly consider him "family." Flair tells Mongo they need team players and solidarity as he stays to his word that if Jarrett won, he would be a Horseman. Anderson says that The Dungeon of Doom and the New World Order are getting stronger, while they are getting weaker and Lex Luger and The Giant are now a team. Anderson admits that "The Crippler" Chris Benoit may never come back after what happened at SuperBrawl VII, before he tells Jarrett he earned his spot and commands Mongo and Jarrett to shake hands. Mongo says he'll mess with him, but he will make sure no one else will, and extends his hands. Jarrett and Mongo shake hands, then Anderson tells Jarrett that he has proven himself and that it is time to show the world. The Four Horsemen and Debra McMichael raise the four fingers in the air in a show of solidarity.

"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan beats Galaxy. "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Duggan after the match, who is shocked by "Macho Man" Randy Savage turning on WCW, telling Savage that his heart is black. Duggan says he will not quit, stop or waver against the New World Order, as he tells "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan and "Macho Man" Randy Savage not to get his way or he'll trample them. After saying that he is not responsible for the attack on Big Bubba, he says that he will kick the front door down when he takes on the nWo.

The encore presentation of SuperBrawl VII will air on pay-per-view on the nights of February 26th and February 27th.

Hugh Morrus beats Joe Gomez.

This Saturday on WCW Saturday Night: The Faces of Fear (Meng and The Barbarian) vs. High Voltage (Rage and Kaos)! Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and "Flyboy" Rocco Rock) vs. The Amazing French-Canadians (Jacques Rougeau and Carl Ouelette)! Chris Jericho! Super Calo! Scotty Riggs!

We hear pre-recorded comments from Theodore Long, who says he sent Jacqueline a message, saying it was too much sacrificing herself for The Taskmaster and asking if The Taskmaster would do the same for her. She tells her to get out of their relationship before it's too late.

Ice Train beats La Parka.

The Faces of Fear (Meng and The Barbarian) beat Eddie Guerrero and Chris Jericho after Meng stops the Lionsault and Dean Malenko rushes into the ring to push Eddie Guerrero off the top rope during his frog splash in response to inadvertently costing him the Cruiserweight title at SuperBrawl VII.

Pyrotechnics signal the start of the second hour.

Rey Mysterio Jr. beats Juventud Guerrera.

Lee Marshall calls from Atlanta, Georgia - the site of next week's Nitro - for the 1-800-COLLECT Road Report.

Prince Iaukea beats Pat Tanaka.

The Ultimate Dragon beats Dean Malenko by disqualification after Malenko snaps and chokes the life out of Ultimate Dragon, not letting go when the referee tells him to. Sonny Onoo gets on the apron to stop Malenko, but Malenko turns around and forearms him. After the match, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Malenko, and tells him that Eddie Guerrero was only trying to help him at SuperBrawl VII. Malenko says he is sick, tired and fed up with the lack of respect he has gotten recently. He tells Syxx he hasn't forgotten about him and what he said about his dad, and he plans to take the Cruiserweight title back from him. He then accuses Eddie of stealing the Cruiserweight title from him before leaving.

The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) approach the ring just before Diamond Dallas Page hits "Squire" David Taylor with the Diamond Cutter. Nash and Hall get on the apron, while "Macho Man" Randy Savage shows up with a can of black spray paint to attack Page from behind. A fan gets in the ring to fight the three of them, but he gets chased out of the ring before he is apprehended by security and ejected from the building. Savage then spray paints "nWo" on DDP's back, then Savage puts on an nWo tanktop before Hall and Nash position DDP for a top rope elbow drop from Savage.

After the commercial break, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) are still in the ring as Diamond Dallas Page is being taken out of the arena on a stretcher. Hall then welcomes the crowd to another edition of "nWo Monday Nitro." He then asks for a round of applause for Savage, then says that the New World Order isn't stopping there, as they introduce "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan to the ring. Hall congratulates the nWo on a job well done at SuperBrawl VII, then Hogan says that the nWo is on a roll and compliments Sacramento on loving to party just like them. Hogan tells Savage that he should be justly rewarded for SuperBrawl VII, and award him with Miss Elizabeth, who is smiling for the first time in months as she, Eric Bischoff and Ted DiBiase head to the ring. Hall announces that all is well in the nWo, as when you're nWo, you're nWo for life and everyone in the nWo knows it. He then proclaims that Sacramento, California is "nWo territory."

Eric Bischoff shows up before Lex Luger and The Giant can have a tag team match against Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray), and he shows up with the entire New World Order. He says he has a problem, but it is a very simple one to fix. He tells Lex Luger and The Giant that they are out of order, as the tag team titles belong to The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall). He says that Lex Luger was not cleared to compete at SuperBrawl VII, and wants the tag team titles back. Luger tells Bischoff that he'll have to put him on a stretcher to take the titles back, and gives him a proposition: he'll hand them the belt if every belt in WCW is put on the line at Uncensored. Eric Bischoff says they have a deal, and they hand over the tag team titles to Bischoff. He then tells Bischoff to put his best team together. Bischoff says they've got the stuff, and Scott Hall says they're easy to find as the nWo is "packing all the gold." Sting then shows up, baseball bat in hand, as Luger proposes that Bischoff put his team together right now, and Sting gets in the ring. He stands between WCW and nWo, then stares down "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan. Hogan hugs Sting, and it appears that Sting has joined the New World Order.
