Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for December 21, 1998

The show starts with a video overview of Eric Bischoff's time in WCW since joining the nWo.

We see a performance by The Nitro Girls.

Fit Finley beats Scott Putski.

Ernest "The Cat" Miller shows up. He says he is the baddest man in the world and brags about how he beats everyone he gets in the ring with. He says the people can boo him all they want, but he is the greatest, and nobody will get in the ring and beat him, and that he will whup somebody tonight. He says nobody can incite the crowd like he is doing now, because he is the greatest. All of a sudden, Santa Claus shows up and tosses candy into the crowd, and when The Cat asks him what he has for him, Santa Claus throws candy directly at his face. Santa Claus gets in the ring, and The Cat decides to fight Santa. Santa, unbeknownst to The Cat, knows how to wrestle, and it turns out to be Saturn in disguise.


Chavo Guerrero Jr. beats Kaz Hayashi. At the beginning of the match, Kaz Hayashi knocks Pepe off the ring post, causing Chavo to smack Hayashi around for disrespecting Pepe.

Kevin Nash shows up. He gives a shout-out to Goldberg, as six days from now, he will get the shot of a lifetime and become WCW World Heavyweight Champion. For the last year, everyone has seen Goldberg's meteoric rise to stardom in WCW, and he is now 173-0. What a lot of people don't know is that at one point of Nash's career, he was a world champion, and had 197 title defenses and never lost one of them. He says he has been where Goldberg is, and has been pushed and pulled in many different directions, and that as Goldberg has been doing this, that and the other, he has been preparing for Goldberg, and wants Goldberg to stay focused. Nash says he has been wrestling for nine years, and has done everything Goldberg has done except for beating Goldberg, and to be the man, you've got to beat the man. On Sunday night, he is going to kick Goldberg's ass.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls. (This performance is the debut performance of the newest Nitro Girl Storm.)

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Raven, who shows up with Kanyon. Raven says that her mother does not care about him and that she wants to get on television after seeing Judy Bagwell on Nitro, and that she is a philanthropist just so she can get on TV for donating money. When Kanyon teases Raven by asking if his mother is going to drive him home, Raven punches Kanyon and proceeds to choke him out. Raven's mom shows up and tells him not to hit his friends, and asks Raven to come home with her so he can get help, but Raven is convinced that she is here to get on television. Raven then reluctantly agrees to go home.


Pyrotechnics signal the start of the second hour.

We see a video package of the recent events in the feud between Diamond Dallas Page and Bret "The Hit Man" Hart.

Wrath beats Lizmark Jr.

We see a special Christmas-themed performance by The Nitro Girls.

Joe Endery from the Hightower Bowling Lane in West Haverstraw, New York is this week's Nitro Party Pack winner. We see footage of his Nitro Party.

Before the next match, Eddie Guerrero tells Rey Mysterio Jr. he is losing his patience with him, and says LWO is "about all of us, not one of us." He plans to teach Rey a lesson much like he did Kidman, and Rey will not be 100% when he is done with him.

Rey Mysterio Jr. beats Eddie Guerrero. During the match, Eddie Guerrero whips Rey Mysterio Jr. into referee Charles Robinson, allowing Eddie and his bodyguard to double-team on Rey only for Rey to duck and Eddie to accidentally drop kick the bodyguard off the apron instead. Kidman gets on the apron for an impromptu double-team on Eddie, but Kidman accidentally knocks Rey down with the forearm, giving Eddie the win as Robinson comes to.

We see a video package of Goldberg.

Scott Steiner shows up. He wants all the woman to know that his body is not just for show and that it can go, and when he gets them under the cover, he will be his righteous lover. He then says he is their hook-up, and to "holla if you hear me." Last week, he said he was going to recruit the top elites and bring nWo Hollywood into the next millennium, and tonight, he has a very special guest who set the baseball world on fire: the St. Louis Cardinals' own Mark McGuire. Instead of the real Mark McGuire, however, it is the nWo referee on an adult tricyle with Buff Bagwell disguised as McGuire standing on the basket in the rear. Steiner lets "McGuire" know he is one of his biggest fans, and "McGuire" says he is a wrestling fan himself and loves the nWo, and loves Scott Steiner the most out of them all. Steiner then says that "McGuire" is more of a redneck than he thought he was, to which "McGuire" replies "Hell yeah, I'm a redneck! I live in St. Louis, don't I?" Steiner then asks what it felt like when he finally broke Roger Maris' records, but Steiner catches him drinking out of a small bottle of androstenedione, and asks him if he can make it through the interview without taking it. "McGuire" says he doesn't know about his interview, but says there's no way he could have hit 70 home runs without it and says that he could probably hit only five without it. Steiner then asks "McGuire" to donate the St. Louis Cardinals jersey he is wearing to the "nWo Hall of Fame." "McGuire" says he has a tear in his eye, and says this was the actual jersey he was wearing when he hit all the home runs. Steiner says "McGuire" is dumber that he thought he was, and The "Hall of Fame" proves to be a trash can. He and "McGuire" then show what they really think of the St. Louis Cardinals. Steiner and Bagwell tear up the jersey, then take "McGuire's" St. Louis Cardinals baseball cap and set it on fire, then Bagwell says says that St. Louis, Missouri straight up sucks.

Norman Smiley beats Prince Iaukea by submission.

Pyrotechnics signal the start of the third hour.

Van Hammer vs. Barry Windham ends when "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair rushes into the ring and attacks Windham, chopping him in the corner several times and hitting him with a low blow before both men start exchanging blows. Flair then puts his thumbs in Windham, then attacks the referee before cornering Windham back in the ring and chopping him a few times before hitting him with two more low blows and punching him in the face. Vincent gets involved, but Flair takes him down and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson gets in the ring to take care of Vincent. Brian Adams and Horace Hogan try to get in the ring, but "The Crippler" Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko stop team before they can get in and fight them in the aisle. The brawling then goes to the back, and arena security and local law enforcement have to hold Benoit and Brian Adams back, and Benoit and Malenko are both maced and handcuffed. Flair and Anderson are still in the ring, and Flair tells Eric Bischoff that for 25 years, he has been a man, and he could walk into the door of his house and know that his wife and kids forgave him for everything he ever did wrong because they depended on him to live day in and day out. Meanwhile, Bischoff promises the world and then tries to take his career, but it did not work as the fans would not let him do it. He admits Bischoff nearly broke him with his lawyers, but he came back after his 10-year-old son Reid asked him why he couldn't go back to WCW and beat up Eric Bischoff in the ring, and promised him he would never quit. He says he almost quit living because Eric Bischoff put his hands on his wife and kids, and says Bischoff stepped over the line. Bischoff shows up, and Flair goes after Bischoff, who sics security on Flair and has him arrested along with Anderson.

Booker T beats Jerry Flynn.

Lex Luger beats Kenny Kaos with the Torture Rack. During the match, Ronnie Rage shows up with a brace on his arm, and angrily confronts Kenny Kaos, giving Lex Luger the win. After the match, Rage confronts Kaos, asking him if he wants to ride on someone's else coattails or if they will pay their dues together.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

Before the next match, Disco Inferno shows up and tells him that Alex Wright - Konnan's opponent for tonight - has gone crazy. Konnan tells Disco they are not friends and to take the Wolfpac shirt off, as he is not a member of nWo Wolfpac and that he can't just put a shirt on and says he is a member. Disco says he got the shirt from Kevin Nash, who made him a member of the Wolfpac. He says that after the match, they will talk to Nash.

Konnan retains the WCW World Television Championship against Alex Wright. After the match, Alex Wright loses his cool before leaving the ring and smacking a steel chair on the floor and the ring apron, and almost hits the referee in the process. Suddenly, Chris Jericho shows up and attacks Konnan from behind with the Television title before taking it with him.

Before the next match, Disco Inferno issues an open challenge to anyone from nWo Hollywood to face him in the ring so he can prove he is nWo Wolfpac material. The challenge is answered by The Giant.

The Giant beats Disco Inferno. After the match, The Giant says that Diamond Dallas Page is probably laying somewhere dead after what he did to him last week. He admits that DDP is a hard working man, and says that he is dead when he shows up at Starrcade when he pulls him limbs off and gives him more pain than he could ever imagine, and when all is said and done, he will mash him under his thumb. All of a sudden, DDP shows up out of the crowd, and tells The Giant that he won't be hard to find come Starrcade. He may have taken him down last week, but it's all about how many time he gets back up. He says The Giant is the biggest, but not the smartest, and he will get the Diamond Cutter around him and make him feel the bang.

Goldberg beats Scott Hall by disqualification. Kevin Nash shows up during the match, and after Goldberg hits Hall with the Spear, Bam Bam Bigelow attacks Goldberg from behind while Nash gets Hall out of the ring.
