Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for November 22, 1999

Backstage, Jeff Jarrett says it is his time and that he is the chosen one, and tonight, he takes matters into his own hands.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart shows up. He says it has been a long two years, and he thought to himself not too long ago if he ever wanted to come back. He says he will be the best World Heavyweight Champion that WCW has ever had. He says the last year has had its ups and down, and he thanks all of the fans for backing him up, and he dedicates his title victory to his Stu Hart, who watched the match from home. He says that now that he is champ, he will do things the right way. A few weeks ago in Phoenix, Arizona, Goldberg was screwed in the first round. He says he has infinite respect for him and says he was screwed, and tells Goldberg that if he wants a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, he will be honored to see him at Starrcade and settle things once and for all. Suddenly, The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) show up, and mocks Bret wanting to do things the right way, then says he and Nash don't care. Hall tells Bret that if he wants to get to the top, all he has to do is take a few lessons from the guys who took WCW "from the outhouse to the penthouse." He then says he and Nash do whatever they want whenever they want to whomever they want. Nash says that just because you get an iron-on that says you are the best does not make you the best, and if that was the case, he would be "Joe Boxer" tonight. Hall says that would make him "the Landing Strip." Nash then goes to say he and Hall run the show around here, and challenges Bret to tag team with Goldberg and take them on. Bret says if they want, they've got it. Suddenly, Jeff Jarrett comes out from the crowd and smashes his guitar into Bret's head, and says he is the chosen one and that the World title belongs to him whether he likes it or not.

Mike Tenay interviews Curt Hennig, who has one more thing to do before leaving WCW. He says he will not wrestle for WCW and he is a man of his word, and the powers that be will not stop him from seeing his fans. Suddenly, a man is seen playing a piano with a woman by his side.

Kidman and Konnan says that what is going on with Eddie Guerrero is getting out of hand, and that they need to take care of it.

Oklahoma and "Dr. Death" Steve Williams are seen backstage.

Tony Marinara is seen in the locker room talking to two men: Johnny The Bull and Big Vito (formerly Skull of Da Baldies in Extreme Championship Wrestling). Tony says there are no longer playing games with Disco Inferno, and they will take him down New York. The problem is, Johnny is hungry and Big Vito can't remember who we're going after again.

The Total Package is talking with Vince Russo. He wants a match between Miss Elizabeth and Meng, having the power to book the match himself, as Vince Russo cannot make the match due to Elizabeth being under contract to Luger instead of WCW, Luger says he has it under control. He says that Miss Elizabeth is under contract for three years, and that she did not even read the contract before signing it. He says that Liz trusted him like Sting did, and says that Sting is pulling his bat out of his ass because of it. Russo lets Luger make the match. Meanwhile, Liz has seen the whole thing go down on a monitor backstage.

Creative Control (Patrick and Gerald) beat The Filthy Animals (Konnan and Kidman) to become the WCW WOrld Tag Team Champions! During the match, black-and-white Kid Cam footage of Torrie Wilson and Eddie Guerro is seen on the video screen, and Kidman runs to the back. After the match, Kidman finds Eddie Guerrero and beats the crap out of him, and WCW security have to stop the fight.

Mike Tenay interviews Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, and Goldberg is also nearby. Bret says he knew it would get tough as soon as he become the world champion, and that it would get busy for him, but he expected that. He and Goldberg will take on The Outsiders first, then he will give Jarrett his first match with the world champion and he will be excellently executed. Goldberg proposes that Bret take care of Jarrett while he takes on The Outsiders himself. Mike Tenay asks if this will be a 2-on-1 handicap match, to which Goldberg replies "Not necessarily."

Sky urges Spice not to go forward with the match tonight, but Spice says there is nothing else she can do.

Buff Bagwell meets with Curt Hennig, who says that there are no hard feelings and says that Buff is the man to carry the company on his shoulders. Buff thanks Curt. As this goes on, piano music can be heard again.

Before the next match, "Screamin'" Norman Smiley says he is the new WCW Hardcore Champion. He says that if you look up "hardcore" in the dictionary, you will see him. He says that he is so hardcore, he drank milk that was two days past the expiration date. He then says that if any "wanna-bes" who want to challenge how hardcore he is, all they have to do is come to the ring. Suddenly, Fit Finley who has not been seen in months - gets in the ring and almost immediately beats up Norman.

Tony Schiavone and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan advertise the "Nitro For Me" fragrance at the commentary table.

Mike Tenay interviews The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall).

Vampiro and The Misfits are seen entering the building, while Oklahoma and "Dr. Death" Steve Williams are seen backstage again.

Mike Tenay interviews Eddie Guerrero as piano music plays again. Eddie says he is not proud of what happened here tonight, but what's done is done.

Creative Control see this and chase Dustin to the back, and Bret gets back in the ring and pins Jarrett.

Miss Elizabeth, still in the shark cage, talks to The Total Package, wanting to know what he was thinking and admitting the match was a mistake. He asks for the keys so he can unlock the cage and get the match cancelled, then tells her that she will be wrestling Meng no matter what and walks off, telling her that if she doesn't get out of the cage, they will bring the cage into the ring.

During the match, it is announced that Arn Anderson has been fired from WCW by the powers that be following his actions from last night, and that the powers that be not only did not know that he was an agent, but that he even worked in WCW in the first place. Later on in the match, The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn) attack Konnan and smash his arm between the steel steps and the ring post. Torrie tries to tell Kidman what is going on, but Eddie is not interested and is more concerned about getting the win.

She is sad that The Nitro Girls have been reduced to this, and if a wrestling match has to decide everything, so be it. Sky shows up and asks her not to go through with this match, but Spice says that if a wrestling match is what it will take to settle everything, she will get in the ring.

Meng vs. Miss Elizabeth ends in a no-contest. At the beginning of the match, the cage - with Miss Elizabeth still inside - is brought into the ring by a forklift. During the match, Meng tries to bend the bars of the cage.

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper makes a surprise appearance for the first time in months. He jokes about the powers that be, saying they write sex and "T&A" into the scripts because they don't get any. Suddenly, his microphone dies, and he finds out from Tony Schiavone that the producers were told to kill his microphone by the powers that be. Piper heads back to the back, and grabs a producer who tells him where the powers that be are. He kicks the door open and is confronted by Creative Control (Patrick and Gerald). Vince Russo tells Creative Control to stand down and let him go, and Piper is amazed by Vince Russo as being the powers that be, and accuses Vince Russo of ruining the sport that he has been in for the last 30 years, ever since he was fifteen years old. He calls Russo "a figment of his own imagination," and says he is ruining people's lives and making them squirm like worms. The only reason that Russo cannot take him down is because he has money, and threatens to beat him with a baseball bat if he ever cuts his microphone again. Russo tells Piper he is the one who needs a reality check, as he is down to one hip and is nearing 50. In his world, Piper is done, and he needs to join Flair and Hogan in the retirement home in Boca Raton. Piper says he has a two-year contract with Time Warner that Russo has to fulfill. Russo responds by making Piper a referee, and tells him that if he refuses to do the job or breaches his contract, he will sue him for everything he is worth.

Tonight, he will show Benoit what their friendship - and his country - means to him when he takes the Canadian flag, douses it in gasoline, sets it ablaze with a blowtorch and changes the Canadian national anthem from "O Canada" to "Burn, Canada, Burn." Once again, piano music is playing through the interview.

Goldberg is seen getting ready for his match in the locker room.

After the match, the rest of The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Perry Saturn, Asya) show up and toss both flags in a steel can before Malenko pours gasoline over both of them.
