Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for March 20, 2000

In footage from earlier today, Sid Vicious is seen arriving to the arena while greeted by throngs of fans.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Sid Vicious in the ring to start tonight's show. Sid says the weight of the world is off his shoulders, and tells Jeff Jarrett he is not all that smart after spouting out of his mouth for the past few weeks that he would become the new WCW World Heavyweight Champion, which did not happen. Sid then talks about a time when someone told him that you can take a pig and tie a purple ribbon around its neck, but the pig still a pig. He says that Jarrett is a pig and that he has shown him who the master, ruler and champion of the world is. Before the interview can continue, Jarrett shows up with The Harris Boys (Ron and Don Harris), and says he is not done with him by a long shot as everyone knows that he beat him three times in the past and that if it weren't for Hulk Hogan, he would be the new WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Jarrett demands another title shot, but knows that Sid will not give him one. He then proposes a tag team match, as he claims that Sid is scared of him and the ground that he walks on. He then says that if he beats Sid, he gets another title shot; if Sid beats him, however, he will never ask for another shot at the World title again. He then brings out his tag team partner for the tonight to show just what Sid is getting himself into: Scott Steiner, who is wearing a piece of tape saying "CENSORED" around his mouth. He removes the tape, then says WCW could not censor him, and tells Sid he will kick his ass tonight and there is nothing he can do it. Sid says he does not need a tag team partner to kick Jeff Jarrett or Scott Steiner's asses; however, it would not be hard to find somebody who would want to tag team with him as there are plenty of people who would want to plant a foot in their asses. Suddenly, Hulk Hogan's music hits, and Hogan shows up. Hogan says Sid "definitely rules the world" and that he knows about "the nWo chumps" out here as he was the baddest man in the nWo until he left the group. He says that Sid has carried the belt well and that he is the man who can get WCW back on track, and if he wants to have him as a partner, he would be glad to kick Jarrett and Scott Steiner's asses. Sid asks Hogan to team with him tonight and help him put an end to the nWo once and for all. Hogan tells Scott Steiner and Jarrett to get ready to have their asses kicked Hulkamaniac style.

Backstage, Team Package (The Total Package, Miss Elizabeth, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair) take offense to Vampiro wanting to take them on and get ready for the big time. The Total Package says he will give Vampiro a taste of the big time, while Flair will be taking Sting out as nobody knows Sting better. Flair says Vampiro made a big mistake last night and that he will fall to The Total Package, and that nobody knows Sting better than him and that Sting will fall at his hands tonight.

Backstage, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Chavo Guerrero Jr., who has not been seen in quite some time. Chavo says that WCW held a Cruiserweight Championship tournament while he was out getting his finances straight, and asks how they could hold such a tournament without him in it. Chavo says he wants the belt and the money that goes along with it. He then asks if something nearby belongs to Okerlund, then swipes his wallet while Okerlund is distracted, then leaves.

Paisley and The Artist Formerly Known As Prince Iaukea guest on commentary for the next match.

Before the next match, "Hard Knox" Chris Candido tells everyone to take a good, long, hard look at "the greatest example of a pure professional wrestler in this sport today," as he does not have a gimmick, a ridiculous costume, a stupid catchphrase or a trashy valet, as he comes from the school of hard knocks and that he had to earn everything. As Candido talks about how he was once in a 10-on-1 handicap match, Lash Leroux dropkicks him in the back, starting the next match.

"Hard Knox" Chris Candido beats Lash Leroux in his debut match in WCW.

XS (Lenny Lane and Rave) see Miss Hancock backstage, and ask what she meant when she said that she found a couple of "real men." Miss Hancock says they will see this Wednesday night on Thunder, and that not only do the ladies due to the two studs she has in mind, but that XS could take some pointers from them. She then says that the two men in question are "Latin America's most desirable men, Los Fabulosos."

Before the next match, La Parka (through a dubbed voice heard throughout the arena) gives Fit Finley a chance to leave the ring before he "busts his Lucky Charms ass." It soon becomes apparent from La Parka's mannerisms as well as when La Parka begs Fit Finley off that somebody else is doing voiceovers for him.

Fit Finley beats La Parka. After the match, Fit Finley throws the microphone over to La Parka, and La Parka tosses it away.



Backstage, Booker asks Kidman to watch his back tonight.

Vampiro says there is a very fine line between pain and suffering and being weak. Vampiro says he is weak and that The Total Package has done it to him, and that he must now undo it. He tries to rip the cast off of his left arm and succeeds, and admits that it may not be the smartest thing he has ever done, he says that The Total Package is feeding the addiction and that he will cause some pain of his own.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews David Flair and Daffney in the ring. David Flair pulls a table out from underneath the ring and sets it up, then heads into the ring. David says he has just heard from the hospital that Crowbar and Bam Bam Bigelow is sharing a room and that there is one bed left. He demands that The Wall come to the ring so he can put him through a table right now. The Wall shows up, and Okerlund hightails it out of the ring. David Flair fights The Wall with a crowbar, but The Wall grabs him by the throat to say something to him. He lets David go, then attacks him from behind, gets him on the apron and tries to choke slam David through the table, which he does when Daffney spraying a fire extinguisher in his face proves completely ineffective. WCW and arena security immediately move into place to tell The Wall to go to the back as a trainer and referee Nick Patrick check on David Flair.

Brian Knobbs tells us not to do what we see on television at home.

The newest edition of WCW Magazine - with Terri Wilson as the centerfold - is now available at newsstands everywhere as of today.

Kidman and Booker beat The Harris Boys (Ron and Don Harris) by disqualification after The Harris Boys use one of the tag team title belts as a weapon. After the match, Torrie Wilson jumps on one of The Harris Boys only to be thrown off, and Kidman makes the save with a steel chair. The Harris Boys (Ron and Don Harris) retain the WCW World Tag Team Championships.

Backstage, The Mamalukes (Johnny The Bull and Big Vito) demand that Disco Inferno give them a tag team title rematch, then decide to get it themselves as they feel Disco Inferno to be too unreliable.

Before the next match, The Total Package tells Vampiro that if he wants to step up to the major league, then tonight, he will go up against a 93 miles per hour fastball with a wiffle ball bat in his hands. He welcomes Vampiro to the major leagues, then tells him to "get [his] ass out here." When Vampiro shows up, however, he shows up from behind and sneak attacks The Total Package, getting the next match started.

The Total Package beats Vampiro. During the match, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair shows up and gets on the apron, but gets hit by a back elbow from Vampiro. As referee Mickey Jay is dealing with Flair, The Total Package hits Vampiro in the head with a bat and puts him in the Torture Rack for the win. After the match, Flair and The Total Package stomp Vampiro, then Sting runs in and makes the save for Vampiro, forcing Flair and The Total Package to run away.

Backstage, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Jeff Jarrett in The New World Order's dressing room. Jarrett says he has done it before and he will do it again, and after the night is over, he will walk out of the arena with a World title shot. He also says that if anyone thought last night was uncensored, then tonight will be truly uncensored. Scott Steiner says Okerlund is only happy becuase WCW tried to censor and suspend him, and says it is hard to keep a good man down and harder to keep a hard man down. He then tells Hogan that he only held the WCW World Heavyweight Championship while in The New World Order because he had guys like him watching his back. Scott Stiener then says that tonight, he will prove that he is the guy with the largest arms in the world and a genetic freak, and that he will kick Hogan's ass and that there is nothing Hogan can do about it.

We see more footage from over the weekend at A.J. Sports in Tallahassee, Florida as part of WCW Spring Break 2000. Riki Rachtmann announces that he will be on a webcast over at tnt.turner.com next Monday.

Backstage, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Dustin Rhodes. Dustin says he stuck a stake through Terry Funk's "vampire suckin' heart," and says that it is time to be out with the old and in with the new. He says that Curt Hennig might not be as hold as Terry Funk, as disgusting as Diamond Dallas Page, as desperate as "Rowdy" Roddy Piper or as laughable as Hulk Hogan, but he has made his list, and he will learn what it means to come face-to-face with "The American Nightmare" and bite the dust.

We see footage of Sid Vicious at a press conference following Uncensored in Miami, Florida. Sid says he has been dealing with Jeff Jarrett for some time and that anything he does does not surprise him at all. Sid says he does not know what next, but suddenly, Hulk Hogan and Jimmy Hart show up to congratulate Sid and announce that Sid is going to stay the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Someone in the crowd then asks Hogan if he thought "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair would get the better of him, and Hogan answers "Not without [Sid] watchin' my back."

Hugh Morrus beats "Screamin'" Norman Smiley. Shortly before Hugh Morrus gets the win, The Demon's music plays and The Demons hows up to check on Smiley. Morrus attacks The Demon and hits him with a powerslam before leaving.

Backstage, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Curt Hennig. Hennig says he has a certain respect for Dustin Rhodes, but if Dustin thinks that he will put his name on a list and destroy him, he has a problem. He says respect has been lost in this business, and he will make sure to earn it and deserve it from Dustin, as he is unbeatable.

Sid then says that Jarrett found out who the master and ruler of the world really is, and tells him to remember that for the rest of his life.

Backstage, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Sting. Sting says he will split Team Package (The Total Package, Miss Elizabeth, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair) down the middle, and after taking down The Total Package last night, that leaves Flair for tonight. He says that Team Package are like two peas in a pod, but they do not have a prayer in stopping him once he got started, and he got started last night.

Meng is seen watching the next match backstage, saying that Tank Abbott does not have long at all.

Tank Abbott beats The Barbarian by knockout. Before the match begins, The Barbarian places referee Billy Silverman on the top rope, telling him not to move and to stay out of the match.
