Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for April 21, 1997

We see footage of James J. Dillon showing up at the arena earlier in the day to start tonight's show.

Dean Malenko retains the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship against Yuji Nagata with the Texas Cloverleaf. During the match, Reggie White of the Green Bay Packers is seen in the front row.

Glacier quickly beats Ciclope after the crowd chants "Glacier sucks!" After the match, the masked man from Uncensored shows up (who used to be Adam Bomb in the World Wrestling Federation) and gets in the ring, but it is a set up, as Glacier is attacked from behind by Mortis. James Vandenburg shows up as the masked man, now unmasked, has his way with Glacier as Mortis and Vandenberg take Glacier's mask. Both Mortis and the mystery man then gouge Glacier's eyes, even going so far as sticking one of the spikes in Glacier's helmet into one of them.

It is announced that James J. Dillon has been named Chairman of the WCW Executive Committee by Turner Sports.

Nick Patrick shows up in blue jeans and a sea-green polo shirt with purple trim, still petitioning to get his referee job back in WCW. Nick Patrick apologizes to any WCW employees who were hurt by his actions, but there are a few people that he will not apologize to, now or ever. When he first joined the New World Order, he thought it would be the perfect opportunity for "the little guy" to speak out when they could not, but now it seems to him that the people he wanted to speak out against are the same people the nWo are catering to, like "Macho Man" Randy Savage, whom he knew all about when Savage first came to WCW, saying that Savage has proved him correct recently. He says that the nWo caters to men like Eric Bischoff who are mad with power and letting everyone know he's the boss while forcing people to his will, like Randy Anderson, whom Patrick admits he never wanted to fight. He also refers back to when he fined Savage the biggest fine in WCW, saying that the fine was revoked and that he was told to keep his mouth shut. Patrick then proclaims that if you want someone to stand up for WCW, simply take a look at what he has done: he stayed when people walked out, he still worked when Savage injured his neck, and he took choke slams and Jackknife Power Bombs from The Giant and Kevin Nash, respectively. Patrick says he's still here, and he is a man who stands for what he believes in, and will do so if WCW gives him that opportunity again. "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko argues with Patrick, unwilling to trust him.

The Ultimate Dragon retains the WCW World Television Championship against Bobby Eaton with the Dragon Sleeper. Referee Mickie Jay takes a picture of both The Ultimate Dragon and Sonny Onoo at Onoo's behest.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "Lord" Steven Regal, who gets a shot at the Television title at Slamboree. He berates America for "not being able to beat the Japanese," and plans to take back what is rightfully "ours," as he considers himself the only person keeping WCW together at the moment. He then calls the American fans "xenophobic little toads." He tells The Ultimate Dragon he will bend him in too.

Next Monday, Nitro will be live for one hour from 7 PM to 8 PM Eastern due to the NBA Playoffs.

Meng (accompanied by a more conservatively-dressed Jimmy Hart) beats Chris Jericho by submission with a nerve hold. "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Jimmy Hart after the match, and Hart says that he and The Taskmaster will sent a message to "The Crippler" Chris Benoit. The Taskmaster shows upw ith Jacqueline, saying that Meng, despite making a few mistakes in wrestling in the ring, is the baddest apple in the business. He dares anyone to step up, saying that when ten men went into a dojo with Meng, two came out. As for Benoit's message to him concerning karma, he had the same kind of karma at his age, and it was all bad. He says he let his son and Woman go. He then tells Meng that he has to feel the power. Meng is about to do something when Jacqueline tells Meng not to do it. Meng tells Jacqueline - in English - that if it wasn't for her and The Taskmaster, he could take the both of them down. Meng and Hart leave first, followed by The Taskmaster and Jacqueline.

We see a video package of "The Crippler" Chris Benoit.

This Saturday on WCW Saturday Night: Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and "Flyboy" Rocco Rock)! The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner)! Lex Luger! Mortis and James Vandenberg!

Before the next match, Hugh Morrus and Konnan of the Dungeon of Doom fight The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) before they can make their way to the ring. Security have to get The Steiners out of the area. Long-time friends and family welcome Scott at the entrance ramp.

Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and "Flyboy" Rocco Rock) vs. The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) ends with Hugh Morrus and Konnan of the Dungeon of Doom. Both teams in the match end up teaming together against Konnan and Morrus as they take the brawl to the back.

Pyrotechnics signal the start of the second hour.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews James J. Dillon. Dillon says that today has been a very busy day, and that all aspects of the company will be re-evaluated. Regarding Nick Patrick's petition for reinstatement into WCW, it is being taken under advisement. He then says that his lawyers have looked into the contract of Eric Bischoff, and that there is both good news and bad news. The good news is that Eric Bischoff has absolutely no authority with World Championship Wrestling. The bad news is that Eric Bischoff has an iron-clad contract and that there is no buy-out clause, and unless he breaches his contract, it is valid. As Dillon announces that Bischoff will retain his title as Executive Vice President and continue to get a paycheck, Bischoff shows up. Dillon says that he has looked further into the New World Order, and that some of the contracts Bischoff finalized before his suspension are all valid, and that the nWo, by and large, is here to stay, with two exceptions. Big Bubba and Michael Wallstreet, unlike Buff Bagwell and Scott Norton, did not have "windows of opportunity" to join the nWo and simply jumped ship, and are therefore under contract to WCW and must return there. Eric Bischoff takes the microphone and simply tells Dillon "Bite me." Bischoff says Dillon wanted to fire him, but he couldn't. Dillon tells Bischoff that if he has something to say, say it. Bischoff tells Dillon he can't stop him from doing whatever he wants with the nWo, and that he made WCW the #1 wrestling company on the planet. When he asks if Dillon has a problem with him making the nWo bigger than WCW, Dillon says yes, and Bischoff tells him "Bite me" again. Bischoff then asks Dillon if he thinks that he can fill his shoes, Dillon says he is the first person to admit that he is the most powerful and influential person for the last two years and has accomplished a lot, considering that the standard of excellence was set up in Stamford, Connecticut (a reference to WWF). However, Bischoff has forgotten that his effort was that of a team, and that he betrayed the trust of the team. Bischoff says "Bite me" yet again. Dillon says that Bischoff has tried to single-handedly destroy the legacy of WCW as he leaves, and if Bischoff thinks he can fill his shoes, he's wrong, because what is in Bischoff's shoes stinks, and no Odor Eaters in the world can take that smell away. Dillon then states that he has two shoes of his own, that he is man enough to determine what steps they take and that he will take accountability for those steps, unlike Bischoff.

Jeff Jarrett beats Scotty Riggs with the Figure Four Leg Lock. During the match, Reggie White of the Green Bay Packers is seen in the crowd again, and when Steve "Mongo" McMichael walks down the entrance ramp with the steel Halliburton briefcase, Reggie jumps the barricade and snatches it from him, forcing Mongo to retreat.

James J. Dillon shows up during Syxx vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. after Kevin Nash hits Rey with a big boot to the back of the head followed by a Jackknife Power Bomb. He brings out medical help for Rey and sends security officers to keep Syxx from attacking Rey, who has to be taken out of the arena on a stretcher. Dillon tells Nash and Syxx that their behavior will no longer be tolerated, but Nash and Syxx don't care.

We see a video package of Lex Luger.

Lee Marshall calls form Norfolk, Virginia - the site of next week's Nitro - for the 1-800-COLLECT Road Report.

In another announcement paid for by the New World Order, we see "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan on the set of McCinsey's Island starting Hogan, Robert Vaughn and Grace Jones. Hulk announces that Grace Jones is a supporter of the New World Order. He says the WCW is full of cowards, saying Sting is hiding, Lex Luger doesn't want a part of him, and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper doesn't want a part of him either. He says that the movie is nWo-produced and directed. Robert Vaughn is seen wearing an nWo T-shirt, as well as the crew.

The New World Order show up. Syxx says that "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper were around last week, talking about how the new generation guys don't have any respect. Syxx says he knows a bit about the history of this sport, and asks what kind of respect it is for Flair to rip off Buddy Roger's gimmick, nickname and finisher from him. He says he has no respect for Piper either, and that he isn't afraid of either of them. Kevin Nash tells Piper that he doesn't think too much about Piper and Flair's "laying down the asphalt and cutting down trees," and that when he came into the business, there was nothing but potholes in the road, saying Flair and Piper strip-mined the business and left nothing for the young guys. He says that WCW was nothing but a bunch of guys pushing their sons, and if you didn't have a dad in the business, you couldn't even get an opportunity. He says Scott Hall was here for a year, proved himself, and got a pay cut, so he left for New York and Nash followed suit. There, he and Hall found punishment trying to dig the business out of the funk the older guys left it in. Where he comes from - the south side of Detroit - you have to beat respect out of him. He says it's the new generation's turn to shine, and while the older guys in WCW live it up, the nWo says they have no problem flying commercial and going to the arena three in a rented Ford Taurus while trying to patch the potholes that the older guys left behind.

Diamond Dallas Page quickly beats Psychosis with a Diamond Cutter from the top rope. "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth are sighted in the crowd after the match, and Savage asks Page if he can feel the madness all around him, and that if he can't, ask Kimberly, because she felt it. Page tells Savage he isn't going to bait him again, and that if he wants a piece of him, then he and Elizabeth should hobble into the ring right now. Savage wants to go, but he is surrounded by security.

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper shows up with "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and Carolina Panthers player Kevin Greene. Flair says there's nothing to talk about, and dares the New World Order to get into the ring and "pave the highway." The New World Order shows up, but then bring out...Scott Hall, who hasn't been seen in weeks. Despite being outnumbered, Flair, Piper and Greene somehow fight The New World Order, holding the members who don't get into the ring off until the closing seconds of the show.

Konnan beats Big Bubba in a strap match after Big Bubba knocks Konnan into the fourth corner. Bubba beats down on Konnan after the match.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The Taskmaster. He says he wants to see no more videotapes of Woman and "The Crippler" Chris Benoit together, and tells Benoit that he has not won their game of chess yet, and that he's the one putting Benoit in position to lose. Okerlund then tells The Taskmaster that the newest video is not of Benoit and Woman, and that it instead contains someone else, with Okerlund tells Taskmaster "You know who I'm talking about." The Taskmaster hesitates, and Okerlund tells him "That's exactly who I'm talking about." The Taskmaster leaves, ending the interview.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, Steve "Mongo" McMichael and Debra McMichael. Anderson says he is a man who picks his words very carefully, and that he did not want to step on anyone's toes. He says that "The Crippler" Chris Benoit and Woman are not here, and asks Flair where they're at. Flair says that they deserve a night out, and that "Benoit is working her out as we speak, in true Horsemen fashion." Debra says she is sick and tired of Benoit and Woman yet again, and doesn't know what Woman sees in Benoit, and says that Woman is ugly without make-up. She hopes that Benoit is "taking her to a fat farm," then speak highly of herself and the rest of the Horsemen. He also calls Jeff Jarrett "a wonderful guy" and "the most professional member of the Four Horsemen." Jeff Jarrett shows up, saying he didn't come here to cause any problems and asks Flair if he wants a part-time Horsemen like Benoit or a full-time Horseman who can do it all night long. Anderson tells him that he's not a Horseman yet, and that if he aspires to be one, he needs to quit being a crybaby and a victim and become a perpetrator. Jarrett tells Anderson he played second fiddle all his career to Flair, Ole Anderson and Tully Blanchard, and he didn't come here to talk to the lead horse, not "the Horseman's rear." Anderson immediately attacks Jarrett, and this starts a match.

Jeff Jarrett beats Arn Anderson after putting his feet on the middle rope during the pinfall. After the match, Debra McMichael keeps "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and Steve "Mongo" McMichael away from Jarrett, and Steve confronts Flair for putting his hands on Debra, who is also protecting Jarrett from Anderson, who eventually gets his hands on Mongo's steel Halliburton briefcase. Flair and Jarrett shake hands and strut together, and the steel briefcase ends up in Jarrett's hands. Anderson says "The hell with it!" and leaves.

Diamond Dallas Page does not show up for his match, but "Lord" Steven Regal does - and to brand new music. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan replaces Page in the match. Kevin Nash, Syxx and Eric Bischoff show up and boot Larry Zbyszko and Tony Schiavone off commentary, and Bischoff says that Page "got it" before announcing that Page is now a member of the New World Order thanks to Scott Hall. Bischoff says that he has signed a man who is an ideal candidate for the New World Order, and that details will be forthcoming.

The New World Order shows up. Eric Bischoff boasts that "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan beat "Rowdy" Roddy Piper twice in one week, and can't believe he took down The Giant. Hogan says he was talking to The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall), and figured that if they weren't worried about the fans, any of the three of them could have an nWo invitational battle royal and decimate WCW. As Hogan boasts about beating up The Giant, The Giant shows up in his familiar singlet and fights off the nWo one by one, and referee Nick Patrick is tossed over the top rope. The Giant is then alone with only Hogan and Bischoff, and when Bischoff tries to hit The Giant, The Giant is distracted, allowing Hogan to hit The Giant in the back with a steel chair and the rest of the nWo to gang up on him. After the attack, the entire New World Order invade the commentary table, but Sting - the real Sting - shows up, gets in the ring and whispers something to The Giant before pointing his bat at the New World Order and leaving it next to The Giant. The nWo commands Vincent to grab the baseball bat, but wastes too much time and gets choke slammed by The Giant when he wakes up. The Giant then grabs the bat and swings for the fences at the nWo when they approach the ring.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for November 18, 1996

The show starts with The Outsiders (Scott Hall and Kevin Nash) holding steel chairs over The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and Brian Knobbs), High Voltage (Ronnie Rage and Kenny Khaos) and the team of Ciclope and Galaxy. Hall and Nash step out of the ring, and harass Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyzsko. Hall goes on to tell The Faces of Fear (Meng and The Barbarian) to come out here so they can "slap the coconut breath outta ya." Nash leaves, and Hall follows suit before saying you can't have a pay-per-view without inviting the nWo, and if The Faces of Fear won't come to them, they'll come to The Faces of Fear, and when they go backstage, they get the brawl they're looking for.

Lex Luger beats Hugh Morrus with the Torture Rack...almost. Morrus gives up as soon as Luger puts him in it. "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Luger after the match. Luger says he may have the momentum, but World War 3 is a different story, and he wants a shot at "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan and the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. All of a sudden, Sting shows up with a red baseball bat, and pushes Luger with the bat before handing it to him and walking off. Luger doesn't even know what to make of this.

"Hollywood" Hulk HOgan shows up with Vincent, Ted DiBiase and Miss Elizabeth. Bobby "The Brain" Heenan rushes off as the nWo heads to the commentary table. Hogan says he's here to set the family record straight, and tells Bischoff to proclaim him as the biggest star in the business and a bigger icon than "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, which Bischoff reluctantly does. Hogan then dares Bischoff to declare that Piper is too scared to face him in the ring. Again, Bischoff reluctantly does so. He then tells Bischoff that if both he and Piper stood on their bank accounts, Piper looks like a midget and that Hogan is 100 times richer than him. Hogan declares that the nWo is running the show, and Hogan lets Bischoff carry on.

As Bischoff speaks, Piper makes a surprise appearance. Piper says it is his honor to be back, and says that he was getting his while Hogan was playing bass. He then says he is here to talk about jerks and liars, and gives Bischoff a hard time, asking him if he knew anything as basic as whether the road to his home is crooked or straight as well as what class he flew, then calls him a liar. The New World Order show up and hold Piper down. and it is revealed that Eric Bischoff is a member of the New World Order as police officers enter the ring. Hogan calls Piper "a loser fighting a losing battle" who has never been anything in the wrestling business, much less known by name, before he faced him. He says that Piper is so much of a coward that he won't sign for a match with him, and that Piper will never be anything because of that. Police officers have to hold "Rowdy" Roddy Piper back. Mike Tenay are Bobby "The Brain" Heenan are disgusted that Bischoff is now a card-carrying member of The New World Order, and Piper tells Hogan that if he wants a fight, he's got it. He tells Hogan to kiss his ass, and tells him he's his now.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for December 18, 1995

The show begins with a surprise appearance from Alundra Blayze, who says that "my name was Madusa, my name is Madusa and always will be Madusa." She pulls out the WWF Women's Championship, then grabs a nearby trash can. She then drops it into the trash can on camera for all to see, and says "...and that's what I think about the WWF Women's Championship belt." She says she is now in WCW, and that her name used to be Alundra Blayze, but not anymore. She says this is where the big boys play, and that this is now where the big girls play. (This act has major repercussions for years to come, as this leaves Madusa blacklisted from the WWF for years, and is considered by some to be the first big shot in what is eventually called "The Monday Night War" between WWF and WCW.) We then get another surprise appearance from William "The Refrigerator" Perry, who is brought aboard by Steve "Mongo" McMichael and almost breaks Bobby "The Brain" Heenan's hand.

Ric Flair beats Eddie Guerrero by pinfall with the Figure Four Leg Lock while using the ropes for leverage, unbeknownst to the referee. Arn Anderson celebrates with Flair, then "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews the twosome. Anderson says that The Four Horsemen (Flair, Anderson, Flyin' Brian, Chris Benoit) are on a roll, and while he respects "Mr. Wonderful," but says that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. He lays two ground rules for The Horsemen: you don't place individual achievements ahead of the group, and if you jump on one of them, you jump on all of them. Suddenly, The Taskmaster and Jimmy Hart show up. The Taskmaster says that he has respected Anderson and Flair for a long time, but says that Flyin' Brian is a loose cannon waiting to happen in response to Flyin' Brian knocking his entire Dungeon of Doom last week. He tells Anderson to keep Flyin' Brian on a short leash, or he'll come looking for him. Ric Flair complies, but Anderson does not, and says that if he goes looking for Flyin' Brian, he'll be finding him and Flair.

Sgt. Craig "Pitbull" Pitmann shows up, and asks Bobby "The Brain" Heenan to manage him to the World title. Heenan says he can't due to his broadcast journalist duties, and says he'd be happy to find someone suitable for him. Pitmann says if he doesn't get any help soon, he won't be taking any prisoners.

The Giant vs. "Macho Man" Randy Savage for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship ends with Hulk Hogan running in and hitting The Giant, The Taskmaster, an official and even a referee with a steel chair.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Hulk Hogan and "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Hogan is irritated with the fact that Ric Flair and The Giant get title shots while suspended, but he doesn't. The Giant shows up, and The Taskmaster and Sgt. Craig "Pitbull" Pittman try to hold The Giant back, but Hogan takes the steel chair and hits The Giant in the head with it again before going after The Taskmaster. Hogan then tells Savage he owes him a title shot. Savage says he has to defend against Ric Flair first, and Hogan wishes him luck against Flair, knowing he can get the job done. When Savage beats Flair, he has to get past Starrcade, and if and when he retains the title, he will defend against Hogan. Hogan asks the crowd if they want to see this, and the crowd goes wild. Hogan warns Steve "Mongo" McMichael and William "Refrigerator" Perry "not to get in [his] arena again." Savage then asks for the steel chair, he plans to get the "autographs" of The Giant and The Taskmaster on it and make a fortune.
