Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for February 14, 2000

Jeff Jarrett shows up with The Harris Brothers (Ron and Don Harris) and a few women. When everyone gets in the ring, Jarrett sends the women to the back, and The Harris Brothers says that The New World Order is not dead and that everyone who gets in their way is. Jarrett says it is only six days before SuperBrawl 2000, when he gets what is coming to him: the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. He says everyone in WCW has been trying to hold him down, but nobody can get the job done. He has named his own special guest referee, and the WCW executive board took him away; Jarrett says this is no problem for him. Jarrett then mentions Scott Hall getting a World title shot, but he made sure to hit him in the head with a guitar before the match was over. He also mentions WCW Commissioner Kevin Nash knocking him out of the #1 contender's slot, and he has proved within a shadow of a doubt that he is the greatest wrestler of all time. He tells Sid Vicious that they will be face-to-face at SuperBrawl 2000, and he will walk out WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Suddenly, Kevin Nash is seen on the video screen, and tells Jarrett that the only stroke he has is when he "goes back to his single-wide in Nashville [, Tennessee], puts on a Billy Squire 8-track tape. He says he is the Commissioner and he is here to govern. Jarrett says that he was made Commissioner, and that he liked that situation a whole lot better. The Harris Brothers grab ring announcer David Penzer and roll him into the ring, and Jarrett threatens to break Penzer's neck if the production crew does not cut off Kevin Nash's satellite feed. The satellite feed is cut off, and Penzer is let go. Jarrett says that since the commissioner is rid off, all the duties fall back on him. Jarrett then declares once again that he will become the new WCW World Heavyweight Champion at SuperBrawl 2000. Before Jarrett's music hits, Kevin Nash's music hits instead, and Nash is seen in the arena being wheeled out by two women dressed like nurses as he holds an aluminum baseball bat in one hand and a microphone in the other. Nash says he knew he would pull something like what he just did. Jarrett says he will prove something at SuperBrawl 2000, but Nash says that while he has a baseball bat in his hand, his surgically reconstructed left foot will still fit up Jarrett's ass. Jarrett says Nash talks tough in a wheelchair, but he will prove it at SuperBrawl. Nash tells Jarrett that he made a match between Jarrett and Scott Hall to see who the #1 contender for the World title would be, and nobody won it. In fairness, he has made both Scott Hall and Jeff Jarrett #1 contenders, and they will both face Sid Vicious for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in a three-way dance at SuperBrawl. Jarrett says he does not care what Nash does, as he will walk out World champ. Nash warns Jarrett to take heed of his words, and tells him that he has been in rehab in town, and while tonight is a loaded show, he can make it better by putting Jeff Jarrett against Sid Vicious tonight in a non-title match so he can have Jarrett softened up for Scott Hall at SuperBrawl, and while Jarrett and Sid are beating each other up, he will be in the back playing with the nurses.

"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, The Total Package and Miss Elizabeth are seen entering the arena together, while 3 Count (Evan Karagias, Shannon Moore, Shane Helms) is seen rehearsing. Meanwhile, "Screamin'" Norman Smiley is seen talking to Lenny Lane and Lodi (now known as Lane and Idol, respectively), who try to go the club to get out of teaming up with "Screamin' Norman Smiley against 3 Count. We then see Miss Hancock in a hallway.

"Screamin'" Norman Smiley and Lane beat 3 Count (Evan Karagias, Shane Helms, Shannon Moore). During the match, Miss Hancock shows up and she heads to the commentary table to put on a headset and announce that Lane and Idol do not know what they are missing after getting rid of her. Later on in the match, Nitro Girls dance music suddenly comes on, and Miss Hancock lets her hair down before dancing on the commentary table. Her dancing not only distracts Lane, but also 3 Count and referee Charles Robinson. This allows "Screamin'" Norman Smiley to win with the Norman Smiley to Evan Karagias.

Meng and Shane Douglas both take offense to Tank Abbott being called the toughest guy in pro wrestling.

Tank Abbott beats Ric Fuller by knockout in Fuller's first WCW match in eight months. During the match, Tank Abbott's former bodyguard Big Al is seen being escorted out of the arena by arena security.

We see footage of Mike Tenay interviews Tank Abbott. Abbott's best UFC memories consists of being the only true fighter out there and using his ability to achieve his goals of putting his opponents in the hospital. He says his win-loss record was only secondary, as he was only focused on hurting people. Abbott says that he gets his punching power from his 625 lb. bench press and spending years training in boxing gyms. He says that Big Al watched his back, and that Big Al has problems with him being in World Championship Wrestling to the point that he wants to have "a skins match" with him which he feels will happen at SuperBrawl. He says he does not know what is going with Big Al and that he would hand him the jacket on his back, but has heard that Big Al has said that he would take it off of him. The Skins Match will involve a leather jacket tied to the top of a pole, and he will take Big Al's head off before he takes the jacket down. Abbott says he has tunnel vision right now and is not focused on any long-term goals until he beats Big Al in the Skins Match at SuperBrawl.

Backstage, Jeff Jarrett is on the phone with WCW Commissioner Kevin Nash, demanding that his match with Sid Vicious tonight be for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

Iaukea says he likes to watch, and tells Psychosis his eyes are on him. He asks Psychosis if he feels the quiver of excitement for their clash Wednesday night on Thunder, and says he will make him his next hit.

La Parka and The Artist Formerly Known As Prince Iaukea beat Kidman and Vampiro. During the match, Kidman has to stop a catfight between Torrie Wilson and Paisley, which leaves Vampiro irritated with Kidman when he is not able to tmake the right away. As a result, Vampiro walks away from the match and leaves Kidman high and dry.

Before the next match, Oklahoma shows up and thanks the fans for the warm greeting, then says it is time to kick the WCW women's division off full title before re-introducing Mona and Rhonda "Monster Ripper" Sing. He then says that he got a lot of heat and came on too strong with Madusa and was not fair to her, and says he will make up for it by starting Madusa in a new role tonight as a special guest referee. Oklahoma then guests on commentary for the match.

Rhonda "Monster Ripper" Sing beast Mona after Sing knocks down special guest referee Madusa after Madusa kicks Sing's hands away from Oklahoma, who is grabbing on to Sing to counter a sunset flip from Mona.

As for Terry Funk, The Total Package will break him in two, and he and The Total Package will be stylin' and profilin'. He tells Hulk Hogan to "bring the yellow and rad to The Nature Boy."

Terry Funk beats The Total Package by disqualification after The Total Package brings in his steel chair. After the match, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson runs out and takes the chair away before WCW security The Total Package and Miss Elizabeth out of the ring.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund announces that the WCW Executive Committee has made a ruling and that WCW Commissioner Kevin Nash has news regarding Jeff Jarrett vs. Sid Vicious. There will be a title match, but it will be for Jarrett's WCW United States title, not Sid's World title. The New World Order (Jeff Jarrett, Ron Harris, Don Harris) is seen trashing their locker room. Meanwhile, WCW Commissioner Kevin Nash gets fed whipped cream by one nurse while having his pulse checked by the other, and Sid Vicious is watching everything go down on a monitor in his own dressing room before he laughs.

At the wedding reception backstage, the bouquet is tossed and is caught by Daffney. Crowbar and David Flair then show up and crash the reception, attacking Big Vito and Johnny The Bull before destroying the cake.

The Mamalukes (Johnny The Big and Big Vito) retain the WCW World Tag Team Championships against Harlem Heat (Stevie Ray and Big T) and the team of David Flair and Crowbar after David Flair hits Big T in the back with the crowbar and Big Vito gets the pinfall with an inside cradle. After the match, Harlem T attack The Mamalukes, and not even Disco Inferno can help The Mamalukes out without getting hit with an assisted Slapjack. Big T then hits both of The Mamalukes with a Tiger Bomb. As Harlem Heat leave, David Flair and Crowbar attack The Mamalukes with crowbars and metal pipes until WCW security and referees run into the ring to restore order. David Flair, Crowbar and Daffney leave, then EMTs bring out a stretcher for The Mamalukes and Disco Inferno while Big Vito's family watches in agony.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Chris "Champagne" Kanyon. Kanyon says the real mecca is Hollywood, not New York, and he is Hollywood His movies do not go direct-to-video and into flea market discount bins; his go to the big screen, and Ready To Rumble. is coming to theaters on April 4th. Since he is Hollywood, he knows acting, and says that Dustin Rhodes is a horrible actor. He makes fun of Dustin's life story before saying he will give him an acting and wrestling lesson as well as the old-fashioned beating his father should have given him.

Johnny The Bull is being comforted by a Catholic priest when Big Vito gets up off his stretcher and demands "Mean" Gene Okerlund show up as he has something to say. Disco Inferno also stands up from off his stretcher.

Dustin Rhodes beats Chris "Champagne" Kanyon. During the match, Kanyon chases referee Billy Silverman around the ring for stopping him from using a steel chair shortly after the beginning of the match only to be clotheslined by Dustin, who eventually hits Kanyon with Shattered Dreams.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Hulk Hogan and Jimmy Hart. Hogan says he cannot think of a better place to bury a couple of odies than New York City. He will bury "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair somewhere on the outskirts of the Hudson River, and if The Total Package wants to get froggy, he will bury him, too. After what he saw happen with Terry Funk tonight, Flair and The Total Package are exactly the same, and tells Jimmy Hart to relax in his dressing room and watch him make Flair beg for mercy.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Booker. Booker says Stevie Ray has gone through litigation to take everything from him, and as far as his "Leave It To Beaver" music, it will be a constant reminder of how he is going to take Big T out of the game at SuperBrawl.

Booker T beats The Demon.

Hulk Hogan beats "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair by disqualification. During the match, Flair uses an illegal object, and when Jimmy Hart runs to the ring to tell referee Nick Patrick what has happened, Flair punches him off the apron.
