Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for February 28, 2000

We see footage from earlier today of Sid Vicious and Tank Abbott making separate entrances into the arena.

Mike Tenay interviews Jeff Jarrett, who says he does not care who wins the WCW World Heavyweight Championship as he has shot at the title signed, sealed and delivered. He tells Mike Tenay he will not be taking the match lightly, and not only does the think he can beat Tank Abbott if he were to win the World title, he also goes so far as to guarantee a victory.

Backstage, Miss Hancock says it's time to teach Lane and Idol a lesson.

Disco Inferno guests on commentary for the next match. Later in the match, so does Miss Hancock.

The Mamalukes (Johnny the Bull and Big Vito) beat Lane and Idol. During the match, Miss Hancock dos another table dance on the commentary table, distracting everyone, including referee Nick Patrick. Johnny The Bull takes out Idol for the win. After the match, Big Vito calls out Miss Hancock, asking her to come to the ring to dance again, this time "for the paisans." She dances with the Mamalukes and Disco Inferno, then The Harris Brothers (Ron and Don Harris) rush in and decimate Disco and the Mamalukes before declaring they will become the next WCW World Tag Team Champions.

The Kid Cam catches Buff Bagwell talking to Miss Elizabeth, trying to get a date. Miss Elizabeth refuses, then the camera cuts to a television screen showing the footage before panning to Elizabeth, The Total Package and "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. Flair and the Package think Bagwell is out of his mind.

In footage from earlier today, Bam Bam Bigelow predicts Sid Vicious will retain the WCW World Heavyweight Championship against Tank Abbott due to experience.

Riki Rachtman is seen at the Nitro Party in the Buckeye Cafe in Cleveland, Ohio at Ohio State University. We then see some of the fun and games earlier today at Campus Clash.

We hear from Hulk Hogan, who says that after the sacrifice in Sacramento, California, he realized just how far he and "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair have taken their feud, and as he was on the way to the emergency room and waited for each bated breath from Jimmy Hart's body that he thought would be Jimmy's last, he gazed down into Jimmy's eyes, and as Jimmy tried to speak, he realized that the steel cage was not the answer, and neither were the Hulkamaniacs. Jimmy uttered the word "Yappapi," and he knew that the answer was the Yappapi Indian Stretch Match. Hulk Hogan knows that he can box him in contractually, and corner him in. If they are bonded together with leather with nobody else in their way, Flair will understand what the Yappapi Indian Strap Match means as he is in pain. Hulk says he is calling Flair's bluff, and when he straps his wrist into Flair's, the leather will be Flair's last lfieline to the wrestling world and he will beat him to an inch to his life to prove that Flair will bow down to him for eternity.



"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, who shows up with The Total Package and Miss Elizabeth. Flair asks who Hulk Hogan will strip to him when he has Hulk Hogan's belt, and says Hulkamania is dead after The Total Package beat Hulk Hogan half to death and he took his weight belt. The Total Package then brags about how he and Flair strapped Hogan down and "booted his brains out," then says the funniest thing is that Sting was nowhere to be found as he doesn't have what it takes anymore. He then addresses Buff Bagwell trying to ask Miss Elizabeth for a date, and challenges Buff to a match tonight. The Total Package then verbally craps on Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is not long before Curt Hennig, who has not been seen in months, shows up and stands up for Minneosta before challenging Flair to a match. Flair threatens to slap Hennig in the back of the head, and Hennig says that if he can't beat Flair, he will streak in public next week.

Backstage, Mike Tenay interviews Booker. He is not happy with Kidman not being there last week on Thunder, and he will be blowing off some steam on Kidman tonight.

Torrie Wilson tells Kidman about the Kid Cam being stolen again and that she does not know who took it. Kidman says they will find it after the match.

It is confirmed by inside sources that Sting will be here later tonight.

Backstage, "Mean' Gene Okerlund interviews Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett says WCW is screwing with him again by giving Tank Abbott a World title shot and forcing him to defend the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship against Vampiro. Tonight, he will show what he is all about, and at Uncensored, "The Chose One" will become "The Chosen Champ." He also refuses to divulge where THe Harris Brothers (Ron and Don Harris) are tonight.

Booker vs. Kidman ends when The Harris Brothers (Ron and Don Harris) beat up both men in the match. Before the match begins, it is announced that "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair has accepted Hulk Hogan's challenge to a Yappapi Indian Strap Match.

Backstage, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Harlem Heat (Stevie Ray, Big T, J. Biggs, Cassius). Stevie Ray says that what happened to Booker earlier is what happens when you don't have anyone watching your back and you aren't "rolling with the big dogs anymore." Stevie Ray and Big T then agree that a hard head makes for "a very soft ass." J. Biggs says he wants to offer Booker some pro bono services, as "graffiti is against the law."

In footage from earlier today, Lash Laroux predicts that Sid Vicious will beat Tank Abbott, since it will take more that one knockout blow to lay Sid out.

We see footage of Arnold Schwarzenegger in attendance, along with "Big Jake," who has the largest arms - 28 inches - in the world. We will get another look at Big Jake on Thunder.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "Screamin'" Norman Smiley. Smiley says he has been dealing with injuries, and what Dustin Rhodes did to Tery Funk last week was a crime. He calls Terry Funk an inspiration for him to hold the WCW Hardcore Championship, and now Terry Funk is hurt. He says somebody needs to step up to the plate and help Funk, and tonight, Dustin Rhodes will be doing all the screaming.

Before the next match, Evan Karagias tells Brian Knobbs to put the WCW Hardcore Championship on the line against 3 Count (Karagias, SHannon Moore, Shane Helms) if he thinks he is so tough. Knobbs says that he would be happy to shove their heads up their asses, and Karagias tells Knobbs he will be going down for the three count.

3 Count (Evan Karagias, Shannon Moore, Shane Helms) beat Brian Knobbs to win the WCW Hardcore Championship!



Backstage, Vampiro tells Jeff Jarrett that he has a serious freak to deal with tonight, and that Jarrett just isn't ready for him.

In footage form earlier today, we see fans cheering for Sid Vicious.

Backstage, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Fit Finley and Brian Knobbs. Knobbs says it is his own ignorant mistake that 3 Count (Evan Karagias, Shannon Moore, Shane Helms) got the win, and he wants a rematch for the WCW Hardcore Championship, as once that rematch is official, 3 Count is as good as dead. Finley says they will cross that bridge when they come to it, but until then, they have to occupy themselves and make 3 Count's lives miserable by taking them on in a six-man tag team match on Thunder. When Okerlund says there is only two of them, Finley insists there is three, and Knobbs says it is time to "bring out the dog."

Dustin Rhodes beats "Screamin'" Norman Smiley. During the match, it is announced that Rhodes will face Terry Funk at Uncensored, with stipulations still to come. After the match, Rhodes continues to attack Smiley with his own helmet until WCW security shows up to separate Rhodes from Smiley.

Referee Nick Patrick predicts that Tank Abbott will win tonight, saying that Tank is hungry even though Sid Vicious is at the top of his game.

Jeff Jarrett retains the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship against Vampiro. Before the match beings, it is announced that Jeff Jarrett has been fined $30,000 dollars for the guitar shots to the head on WCW Executive Board member Terry Taylor, WCW Commissioner Kevin Nash and referee Mickey Jay over the last two weeks. Druing the match, The Harris Brothers (Ron and Don Harris) show up, but Vampiro fights them off. Sid Vicious shows up and fights the Harris Brothers, sending them to the back and distracting referee Nick Patrick. Nick Patrick then gets back in the ring after Jeff Jarrett h its Vampiro with the United States title, and the bell rings despite Vampiro kicking out at two. Nick Patrick notices that Vampiro kicked out at two, and makes it known that Vampiro kicked out before three. Vampiro goes for the top rope guillotine leg drop, but Jarrett dodges it and hits The Stroke to retain.

Backstage, Big Vito has a backstage worked deliver a present to The Harris Brothers (Ron and Don Harris).

He also says that the days of driving The Maestro's car are over, and we see the footage of James Brown and The Cat at SuperBrawl. The Cat then proceeds to dance, but it isn't long before The Maestro shows up.

The Maestro beats Ernest "The Cat" Miller after using a stereo - which is playing 3 Count's (Evan Karagais, Shannon Moore, Shane Helms) theme when Symphony turns it on - as a weapon.

The Total Package demands to know from Miss Elizabeth where his baseball bat is.

In footage from earlier today, Kidman says Tank Abbott will win, saying to never underestimate the small man in the right.

Hennig goes for the Hennigplex, but The Total Package runs in and stmops Hennig before leaving. Nick Patrick gets up as Hennig introduces a chair into the match, and Flair kicks Hennig in the groin as Nick Patrick removes the steel chair from the ring for the win. After the match, Flair hits Hennig in the back with Hulk Hogan's weight belt
