Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for October 4, 1999

Goldberg makes his way into the building. After he does, Sid Vicious take note of where Goldberg is parked - parking spot #22 - and proceeds to put a plan into action and get revenge on Goldberg for getting his car crushed.

It is announced that Bret "The Hit Man" Hart will wrestle "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit in a non-title match in honor of the memory of his brother Owen Hart, who tragically died in the same arena that tonight's show is taking place at.

Dean Malenko beats Rey Mysterio Jr. with the Texas Cloverleaf. During the match, Shane Douglas runs in, knees referee Nick Patrick in the back and out of the ring and pulls out a chain. Perry Saturn runs into the ring, takes the chain away from him, wraps it around his fist and then hits Rey with the chain when he gets up out of the corner. Saturn and Douglas then run out of the ring. Douglas revives the referee, lying about what happened, and Dean Malenko - who has no idea what happened - puts Rey, who is knocked out cold, in the Texas Cloverleaf for the win. After the match, Malenko sees the replay on the video screen, and refuses to leave with Shane Douglas and Saturn; instead, tending to Rey after the match and shows him respect afterwards.

Starting this week, one match each week will be the Mayhem Match of the Week. For the next week, if you can send in the answers to who won each match at WCW.com, you can win a trip to Houston, Texas to watch WCW Mayhem live.

In the Mayhem Match of the Week, Disco Inferno beats Psychosis to win the WCW Cruiserweight Championship for a second time after avoiding a top rope guillotine leg drop and hitting the Last Dance. Before the match begins, it is announced that the newly-unmasked Psychosis is the new WCW Cruiserweight Champion. (It is announced that Psychosis won the match at a house show; in reality, Lenny has been stripped of the Cruiserweight title due to protests by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), who feel Lenny's character is presented to incite homophobia in the audience and that both Lenny and Lodi being beaten up in the ring has the potential to incite people to do physical harm to gays and lesbians. Not surprisingly, both members of The West Hollywood Blondes, Lenny and Lodi, have been taken off television as a result.) It is also announced that tomorrow night on WCW.com and Yahoo!, fans can chant with Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara about their new positions in World Championship Wrestling.

Sid Vicious calls a tow truck company concerning towing Goldberg's car before his match.

The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) are seen in the stands walking down from the concourse to the front ro, where they are seated next to two beautiful women. Bobby "The Brain" Heenan interviews The Outsiders, Hall says he and Kevin Nash - who has not been since being hit by the white Hummer - says they were at a party in the area last night. When asked when they are coming back, Ke in Nash says he's retired and Hall says "Is it fun yet?" Hall says The Outsiders will "pop back up on the scene" when it starts getting fun again. Nash says "We're getting the band back together."

Sid Vicious beats Brian Adams thanks to the involvement of Rick Steiner, which referee Charles Robinson allows. Sid's streak is raised to 120-0.

Before the next match, Jimmy Hart tells Goldberg will not bowl over The First Family (Jimmy Hart, Hugh Morrus, Brian Knobbs, Jerry Flynn), and that Jerry Flynn will take him out. When Goldberg makes his way to the ring, Sid Vicious tries to get Goldberg to attack him by taunting him and saying that he is his, but Goldberg stays put for a little while and lets him yell, never even looking back.

Goldberg beats Jerry Flynn. During the match, Brian Knobbs and Hugh Morrus show up and watch from ringside, and distract Goldberg as they yell at him. When Flynn kicks Goldberg in the back of the head and out of the ring, Jimmy Hart distracts referee Mickey Jay as the rest of The First Family triple-teams Goldberg. When Goldberg is back in the ring, Mickey Jay ejects Morrus and Knobbs from ringside. After the match, Goldberg says everyone knows who is on his agenda. He says Sid Vicious can play mind games with him, but he will never prevail. At the end of the month at Halloween Havoc, Sid's ass is his. If Sid decides he had enough guts to face him before then, he will grant that wish and he will kick his ass from one end of the country to the other. It could be tonight or next week, but where or when it is, one thing is for sure: Sid's his. He says that United States title around his waist is just a stepping stone for him, as he has not held it for a year, and he will not stop until he gets it back. He tells Sid the ball is in his court, and tells him to do with it what he will.

Backstage, Berlyn says something in German to Brad Amrstrong. Brad Armstrong grabs Berlyn by the jacket and tells him to speak English, and if he has something to say, he should say it. Berlyn says nothing, and Brad Armstrong walks away.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray), who will be facing Hugh Morrus and Brian Knobbs at Halloween Havoc. Booker T says it feel like yesterday that they first stepped into WCW, and now they are nine-time tag champs. He says it is hot in the arena tonight and it is about to get a whole lot hotter. Stevie Ray says he and Booker have beaten the best, but the people have just seen what Morrus and Knobbs are capable of, and if they want a shot at the tag titles, all they have to do is put their names on the dotted line and it is on. Booker claims Harlem Heat they have never ducked anybody, and if this is any incentive for The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) to come back, all they have to do is step on in, as they will continue to do their thing as only they can. Stevie Ray says they should have taken The Outsiders out of the game a long time ago, and them sitting in the front row with beautiful women does not impress them. If The Outsiders want them, they're not hard to find. As the interview finishes, Harlem Heat are attacked from behind by Hugh Morrus and Brian Knobbs, starting a tag team brawl in the aisle that eventually makes its way into the ring. Booker T and Stevie Ray seem to make headway, but Knobbs takes Harlem Heat out with a steel chair before Hugh Morrus hits Stevie Ray with No Laughing Matter. Referees eventually have to head into the ring to restore order. Brian Knobbs grabs the microphone and asks Harlem Heat "Who's the fruit booties now?" before telling them they will see them at Halloween Havoc.

Hogan says Flair is the man, and Flait tells Diamond Dallas Page that whatever level at the food chain he is in DDP's eyes, DDP will be at the bottom in his because he's Ric Flair and Page is not. As far as Hulk Hogan goes, he is going to take his vitamins, say his prayer and he is not going into one bat until they become part of history as they are teaming up for the first time. Hogan says Flair is going to be stylin' and profilin' and that tonight is a preview of what will happen at Halloween Havoc. He then says that tonight,, he and Flair are going to take their vitamins, say their prayers and then kick some ass.

Sid Vicious goes to parking space #22 and says "Yeah...I got him now."

Diamond Dallas Page kisses Kimberly backstage before heading to the ring.

Also, during the match, Diamond Dallas Page shows up as Miss Elizabeth distracts referee Nick Patrick to hit Flair with a Diamond cutter, but Flair pushes DDP into The Total Package, who kicks DDP in the groin and puts him in the Torture Rack. This allows Hogan to hit Sting with the leg drop for the win.

Sid Vicious asks Moses, the parking valet, where his car is. He tells him it is parking space #22. Sid finds out his car has been crushed just like last week's, and repeatedly yells "Why me?" to end the show.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for February 15, 1999

It is announced that Kimberly has suffered facial lacerations, a mild concussion and no severe neck damage. She is currently convalescing in a secret location, as Diamond Dallas Page has placed her away from home where nobody can supposedly find her.

This allows Chris Jericho to show up and try to attack Saturn, who hits him with a T-Bone suplex. The distraction allows Jerry Flynn to hit Saturn with a spin kick to the jaw, giving him a win.

WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair is seen talking to executives in the limousine. Bischoff is paying attention to what they are saying, then one of the executives closes the divider behind Bischoff to tell Flair that he is doing a good job keeping Bischoff in line. Flair's cellphone goes of as he and the executives are talking about MADtv, Will Sasso and Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, and Flair finds out about "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson being arrested and ejected for attacking Disco Inferno. He says that he told Anderson to stay away from Disco. He tells the other person on the line to do what he can do, and to make sure that this incident does not get out of hand.

WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair is still talking on the phone. He says that he specifically told "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson not to attack Disco Inferno, and that he wanted Disco taken off the show. Meanwhile, the executives notice that the road is bumpy, and ask Flair if he has been down this road before. Flair opens the divider and asks Eric Bischoff where they are going, and Bischoff says they are taking a detour and that they should make the arena in 20 minutes. The divider is closed again, and Bischoff gets on his own phone and calls somebody, saying that they will be there in 15 minutes and to save a cold one for him.

Blitzkrieg, Psychosis and Juventud Guerrera beat Super Calo, El Dandy and Hector Garza.

The woman in the hotel asks for a dry towel, a salad, cake and whipped cream. She then goes back to the shower.

A spotlight is beamed down on WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair's limousine. A few Hummers are seen behind the limo, and masked men in black approach the limousine. One of the executives has a bad feeling, but Flair tells him it is fine. One of the men in black is Hollywood Hogan, and Flair fights him. The spotlight - obviously from a helicopter - is on Flair and the other masked man, and the Hummers start circling both men as they go at it. Another masked man hits Flair from behind, and several more masked men in black surround and attack Flair. One of them beat Flair with a foreign object, and another carries Hollywood's weight belt. Flair is then whipped with the weight belt.

The Four Horsemen ("The Crippler" Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko) beat Dave Taylor and Fit Finlay to stay alive in the tag team title tournament with a diving headbutt-Texas Cloverleaf double-team to Dave Taylor.

The Nitro Girls are at the commentary table. Tony Schiavone asks them for their reactions on the attack on Kimberly from last week. They are in shock and are trying to stay strong after what happened last week, and miss Kimberly and want to come back soon.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart beats Will Sasso after Sasso's fellow MADtv star Debra Wilson takes a steel chair away from Bret outside of the ring only to hit Sasso with it while he is down. Bret gets Sasso back into the ring and into the Sharpshooter, and Sasso quickly taps. Bret and Debra hug after the match.

Hollywood Hogan, Kevin Nash and the nWo are seen exiting the Hummers, revealing it was all them who attacked WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair earlier tonight. They come to the ring through the crowd. Hogan asks the rest of the nWo to head to the back to have a party, then Hogan says he has no reason to worry about SuperBrawl as he brags about the attack on Flair, and says the way it should go down is with him beating Flair in his own hometown. Since he is the man who made wrestling and put it on the map as well as the greatest World champion of all time, he will give Flair one chance at the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, and he will give it to him tonight. Also, since Flair is "in the back putting his make-up on and trying to hide the gray," he is going to be an honoroable man and give him a ten-count before Flair loses by forfeit, and tells Flair to come out and feel the power of the nWo. All of a sudden, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper's music plays, and Piper shows up. He tells Hogan he says what he did to Flair, and that he is tired of him ruling the roost and calling the shots. He tells Hogan he is his reality check, and since he is still acting WCW Commissioner, Hogan is wrestling him tonight and the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. Hogan tells Piper he is going to get it, and the match begins.

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper beats Hollywood Hogan by disqualification after he is shocked with a taser by Scott Hall. Hollywood Hogan retains the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. The rest of the nWo shows up and surround Piper. Hogan says he will give WCW President "THe Nature Boy" Ric Flair one more chance, and he will come to the back and tear him apart. Scott Hall then wears Piper's kilt in a mocerky fo Piper's heritage, and gives him the crotch chop before the rest of the nWo stomp on Piper.

A man in a cowboy hat finds WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and carries him to his pick-up truck. Flair keeps mouthing the word "Fairgrounds."

A laywer announces that Scott Steiner has filed a civil suit in Superior Court in Buffalo, New York for monetary damages deriving from an attack from Diamond Dallas Page last Monday. He has filed a multiple-count complaint against Page alleging he committed assault and battery, and alleges that he can no longer make a living from the injuries.

The pick-up truck driver is seen with WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair again.

The woman in the hotel says she could stay in the hotel forever, but she knows the person behind the camera has to talk to "those people." She says they should do this again, and if this time was great, next time will be even better.

Hollywood Hogan shows up with the nWo as ring announcer Michael Buffer is about to announce the next match. Hogan says he will make it easy for The Four Horsemen ("The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, Steve "Mongo" McMichael, Dean Malenko). He says that with Mongo out of the picture, the Horsemen are on the run. He says he and the rest of the nWo have seen Flair in his sequined robe run into his dressing room and lock himself in to hide from the nWo. Hogan gives Flair another chance to face him for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, and this time, he gives him a 20-count. Hogan says this will be the last time he beats Flair, then tells referee Randy Anderson to start the count. Suddenly, the man in the pick-up truck shows up at the arena, and the man helps Flair up. Flair grabs an ax handle from the back of the truck, and staggers his way to the ring. Hogan and the rest of the nWo cannot believe it, mocking Flair and saying that he smells like cow paddies. Flair stumbles through the crowd and over the guard rail, and crawls his way through a ring full of nWo members. Benoit and Malenko get in the ring, but the numbers game proves to be too much and three of them are overwhelmed by the nWo. We then see Scott Hall arriving backstage, and looks at the camera and says "Now you see how it's done...don't mess it up." He then hands his taser to the person behind the camera. The show ends.

A Hummer limousine is seen parking outside of the arena. nWo Wolfpac (Lex Luger, Konnan, Sting and Kevin Nash) come out from the back door. They make their way to the locker room and immediately brawl with members of nWo Hollywood. WCW security and local law enforcement have to break up the destructive brawl, which ends up continuing further backstage. Sting eventually finds who he is looking for: Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, and law enforcement and security catch up.

After the commercial break, nWo Wolfpac (Kevin Nash, Lex Luger, Konnan, Sting) leave the arena and Sting immediately mans a forklift, which he uses to lift up nWo Hollywood's limousine.

Pyrotechnics signal the start of the second hour.

Damian vs. Hector Garza ends in a no-contest when Eddie Guerrero makes a shocking return from Japan. He asks Damian and Garza what Eric Bischoff has done for them, and tells them that Bischoff has done nothing for the three of them or given them an opportunity to "climb the ladder of success." He also accuses of paying them barely any money for a rental car, which is why five or six Mexican cruiserweights use the same car and share the same hotel room. Eddie tells them that if they are not part of Hollywood Hogan's clique, they will never make any money, and that Hollywood Hogan couldn't even lace up their boots. Eddie says he cannot do anything by himself, and neither can they, but they can all do it together. He then rips off his T-shirt to reveal a "Latino World Order" shirt underneath - with the logo just like the nWo's except in the colors of the Mexican flag. He hands Damian and Hector Garza lWo shirts, and they put them on. Eddie then tells Bischoff they will do what it takes to get their piece of the cake, and tells Bischoff to kiss his ass.

Mike Tenay interviews nWo Wolfpac (Kevin Nash, Konnan, Sting, Lex Luger) outside of the arena. Kevin Nash says Scott Hall is not here, and he's probably in one of five places in town. The Wolfpac will look for him, and if they find him, what happened to the limo will be nothing compared to what they do to Hall. A camera crew prepares to follow the Wolfpac around town.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

Kidman retains the WCW Cruiserweight Championship against Psychosis.

"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair's older son David Flair is seen in the front row.

We see a promo from The Warrior. He says there is a saying: "Those who forget history have a tendency to repeat it." With what he has seen out of Hollywood Hogan in the last few weeks, however, he knows that Hogan remembers WrestleMania 6 very clearly. He says it is obvious Hogan forgot nothing. Eight years ago, he faced a challenge in a supreme individual while Hogan faced a challenge to feed his pitiful, insatiable ego. The difference between them lies in their belief system. He believes in the power of the individual, wile Hogan believes in the mentality of the pack. He believes in the spirit of a Warrior within all of us, while Hogan believes in steering an unfocused vision that rewards no one and belittles all. The One Warrior Nation movement is a concept for the next generation: the Warrior generation. It is a concept built on the idea of taking control of those aspects and fulfilling that one destiny one has. He says a battle is won on two fronts: physically and mentally. He is all more than capable physically, but mentally, Hogan may already be defeated, for when he lays for rest, he is the picture of peacefulness and he is wreaking havoc in Hogan's dreams. Hogan will feel the power of the Warrior.

We see a video package of Scott Steiner, where he tells his brother Rick Steiner that he is a very lucky man. He was the one who protected him and helped him throughout his life, and that he made the Steiner Brothers famous while Rick rode on his coattails. He says the free ride is over, and he is the better Steiner brother. The reason they succeeded is because he overcame Rick's weaknesses and carried him all the way to the top. At Halloween Havoc, Rick Steiner is his next trophy.

Mike Tenay and a camera crew are in close pursuit of nWo Wolfpac's Hummer limo.

Scott Steiner and Buff Bagwell show up. Steiner says he is the ladies' hook-up and to "holla if you hear me." Scott goes on once again about how he made The Steiners Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner), and that he will prove it at Halloween Havoc when he put Rick's tail between his legs and runs him out of Las Vegas, Nevada. Buff Bagwell then proceeds to make fun of Rick Steiner as Rick Steiner shows up, and Rick tells them they're a bunch of sissies for faking injuries, then reminds Bagwell of his paralyzing injury from last year and calls him out for making a joke out of it. Rick Steiner then brings out Buff's mom, Judy Bagwell, who does not think it is a big joke and whom Rick has brought out to talk some sense into Buff. Judy Bagwell reminds Bagwell he is in the same building where he was paralyzed, and wants to know what is wrong with Buff, and reminds him of everything she did for him when he was paralyzed. Buff takes the microphone away from his mother and tells her he made a decision, and it was nWo Hollywood, like it or not, and without Buff Bagwell, she can't even eat. As soon as he says he's the one supporting the whole family, Judy gets in the ring, slaps Buff and tries to slap Scott. Scott deflects it, but Rick clocks him. Judy Bagwell then grabs Buff Bagwell and drags him to the back.

We see footage from during the commercial break where Brian Adams and Scott Steiner beat up Rick Steiner near the commentary table. We then go back to the live broadcast, where Brian Adams vs. Rick Steiner is already underway. Not long after this, WCW Executive Committee Chairman J.J. Dillon and a few members of local law enforcement escort Scott Steiner out of the arena.

Rick Steiner beats Brian Adams.

Pyrotechnics signal the start of the third hour.

Mike Tenay, the camera crew and nWo Wolfpac make their way to a restaurant, but they cannot find Scott Hall.

Hollywood Hogan and Eric Bischoff show up. Bischoff both notices and mocks David Flair in the front row before heading to the ring. Hollywood Hogan talks about how he couldn't find The Warrior as he made his way into town, and how he saw a few Warriors running for their lives. He says he is standing here right now, and that he is not waiting for Halloween Havoc. He calls out The Warrior so he can beat him in the ring now and wipe the paint off his face. He then tells the fans that if they think The Warrior is their hero, they are mistaken, for at Halloween Havoc, he is contractually obligated to face him and he will bury him one last time, and as he drops to his knees in the middle of the ring and pleads not to hurt him anymore, he will wipe the paint off of him to reveal the coward that he is before he breaks every bone in his body, as he is the god of wrestling. When all is said, done and written, he will make sure the history books are written the way he wants them written, and there will be a big blotch of blood and paint in the form of a period ending the entry on The Warrior when he buries his legacy once and for all and gets one step closer to getting the WCW World Heavyweight Championship back from Goldberg.

We see a video package of The Four Horsemen ("The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, "The Crippler' Chris Benoit, Steve "Mongo" McMichael, Dean Malenko).

We see a performance by The Nitro Girls.

As The Disciple leaves, Hollywood Hogan and Eric Bischoff trail him to the back, and the trail takes hm to Hogan's locker room. They still cannot find any sign of The Disciple, but Hogan sees The Warrior in the dressing room mirror. Hogan can see him, but Bischoff can not, and Bischoff is trying to figure out exactly what is going on. The visage of The Warrior laughs, then disappears, and Bischoff tells the camera man to get out.

Mike Tenay, the camera crew and nWo Wolfpac head to another bar, and the occupants inside cheer Kevin Nash on as he beats the crap out of Scott Hall on a pool table. It isn't longer before Scott Hall's face is stuffed inside the bathroom toilet.

Eric Bischoff shows up. He assures everyone that Hollywood Hogan is doing just fine, then decides to tell a story about "a man named Flair" to the crowd and says "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair he needs all the support eh can, regardless of how he gets it. He apologizes for Flair, saying he will not be here and that the man is more of a coward than he is a fossil. All of a sudden, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson shows up and tells Bischoff that he is in Horsemen country. Last time he was in Columbia, South Carolina, he had to retire from wrestling, but now he has a new job. He is in charge of head games, and he announces that Flair is in the building after all. Bischoff says taht isn't going to happen, but Anderson says that when it comes to authority, he does not hear very well, and brings Flair out. Instead of Ric Flair, it's Reid Flair, who is in his wrestling gear and wearing a gold medal around his neck. Reid tells Eric Bischoff he's here to take care of his dad's "light work." Bischoff tells Anderson he must be out of his mind, and asks what he is trying to do. Anderson says this is The Four Horsemen's ("The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, "The Crippler' Chris Benoit, Steve "Mongo" McMichael, Dean Malenko) company, and they're taking it back, and Reid shows Bischoff a few moves. As Bischoff wants Arn fired and Reid out of the ring, Reid hits Bischoff with a pair of takedowns as soon as Bischoff turns around, then hides behind Arn Anderson, who says Bischoff might as well get the juvenile authorities involved after getting taken down twice by Reid. Anderson then says he hopes Bischoff knows a little sign language before Reid raises up the four fingers symbolizing the Horsemen.

After the break, Eric Bischoff - now accompanied by Miss Elizabeth - wants "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair in the ring in the ring right now, and commands Miss Elizabeth to get Flair on the phone. Elizabeth finally gets a hold of him, but it ends up being Ric's wife Beth on the line instead. As Bischoff yells at Beth, Ric Flair makes his grand entrance. nWo Hollywood surround the ring, but The Four Horsemen "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, "The Crippler' Chris Benoit, Steve "Mongo" McMichael, Dean Malenko) are not far behind, and they clear nWo Hollywood out. Reid Flair also joins them and stands next to his dad, while David Flair - still in the front row, climbs over the guardrail and also joins Ric and Reid. The Horsemen, Reid and David all raise up the four fingers.

Before the next match, Bret "The Hit Man" Hart turns around and heads back to the back before his match with Sting. Sting leaves the ring and chases after Bret, and it is not long before he finds him and beats him up backstage. Bret fights back, and eventually suplexes Sting through a wooden table before throwing a trash can at him and working on Sting's leg with a steel chair and the trash can. Sting eventually pushes a supply cart into Bret's gut. Both men are down for a few seconds, then both men grab a steel pole. Sting swings his pole at Bret, then Bret and Sting tries to sandwich Bret's leg between a door and a door frame. Bret hits Sting with a pole to the gut, then tries to run him over with a motorcart. Sting then tries to choke Bret out with a pole before whacking him with it. Sting then goes for a Scorpion Death Lock, and Bret calls Sting a cheater before crying out for Hogan.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for April 27/28, 1998 (Combined Edition)

This week's Nitro spanned over three hours in two nights - Monday and Tuesday - due to the NBA Playoffs. Here are the combined results.

Monday Night, April 27

The show - which is a special one-hour edition due to the NBA Playoffs - starts with a performance by The Nitro Girls. As the Nitro Girls are jumping rope, Alex Wright - who hasn't been seen in months - shows up and starts dancing before WCW security pushes him to the back.

Kevin Nash and "Macho Man" Randy Savage show up. Nash talks about how Sting showed up wanting a tag match with him and Scott Hall, and Nash says he ran into Hall two night's ago at Trader Vic's with perfect hair and a pina colada in his hand. Nash tells Sting that if he wants the tag titles, he'd better come and get them. He then focuses on the current state of the nWo, saying that "The Wolfpack" is expanding, and that Savage is its newest member. He then address "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, saying Savage has a surprise for him. As for Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, if he's going to hit him in the belt, he'll take whatever's left of Bret after Savage is done with him. Savage tells Bret that the ends justify the means, and that he is in a lot of trouble he won't be able to get out of. Savage reveals that Hogan is not in the building right now. Nash tells Hogan they promised him a surprise, and tells him this is the first of many defections, and brings out yet another defector: Konnan, who calls it an honor to be next to "Big Sexy, The Giant Killer" while proclaiming Savage to be "a classic, just like Coca-Cola and Corvettes." He tells Hogan he doesn't want any of the Wolfpack, and that they're thinking about him.

We get a special look at Juventud Guerrera. He tells his name means "Young Warrior," and that his father, also a professional wrestler, gave him that name. Juvi says he is Azteca, and that his Aztec culture is very important to culture, hence the "never surrender" motto. He says Chris Jericho may have taken his match, but he will never take his pride.

Before the next match, Chris Jericho welcomes the fans to "WCW Monday Jericho." He thanks Juventud Guerrera, saying that since he has beaten him for his mask, he has left him as a shell of his former self, especially when he had him in the Lion Tamer. He has also arranged an exclusive interview with Dean Malenko (or a portrait of him), asking him what it's like to be the #2 wrestler in the world before congratulating him on being the new fry cook at Harry's Burgers in Tampa, Florida. He also asks him what it's like to be a quitter after he beat him, and says Malenko can live vicariously through him as he dedicates the match to Malenko.

Chris Jericho retains the WCW Cruiserweight Championship against Chavo Guerrero Jr. with the Lion Tamer. At one point in the match, Eddie Guerrero is standing on the apron, and Chavo drop kicks Jericho into him. After the match, Eddie Guerrero confronts Chris Jericho, who tells him that Chavo sent Jericho into him. Eddie Guerrero embarrasses Chavo again, pushing him around and calling him an embarrassment.

Pete Kasougarus of Gold's Gym in Hobart, Indiana is the winner of this week's Nitro party. We see some footage of his Nitro party.

It is announced that Buff Bagwell has underwent surgery this evening following his severe, paralyzing neck injury from last Wednesday's Thunder, and that tomorrow's special one-hour edition of Nitro starting at 6 PM Eastern/5 PM Central will provide an update. Thankfully, he had gotten some movement back before the night was over.

Eric Bischoff, The Disciple and "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan show up. "NWO" is spray painted on the WCW World Heavyweight Championship once again. When Eric Bischoff asks Hogan what is left for him, Hogan decides to put the cart in front of the horse and announces he's done it all, been it all and from now on until the rest of eternity, he will be it all. He says the nWo-ites have finally realized what a joke Kevin Nash and "Macho Man" Randy Savage are, as Nash is down and out and will never get in his face again, while Savage and Miss Elizabeth already have "one foot in the glue factory." He says there is not one wrestler left to conquer, one promoter to break in half, or one championship to compete for, and that he tips the scales in his favor and that he is where the power lies. If Nash and Konnan are the best Nash has, he'll have The Disciple call his maintenance man in Beverly Hills, take his pick-up truck to the valley, and recruit every hobo there to pick his orange groves. Hogan then proclaims the stage is set, and says Bret "The Hit Man" Hart helped him become WCW World Heavyweight Champion because he knows where the power lies, and has known since day one.

Goldberg retains the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship against Scott Norton, despite Norton's attempts to injure one of his arms to stop the Jackhammer.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Bret "The Hit Man" Hart in the ring. When asked why he helped "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, he calls the Norfolk Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia "the house that Hogan built." He says we are all supposed to suffer for our crimes, but if we're not suffering it's not a crime in the first place. He says there is no room for guilt or innocence in professional wrestling, which he calls a "long, cruel money trench," "a plastic hallway full of pimps and thieves," and "a place where good men die like dogs." He says that if "Macho Man" Randy Savage feels bad about things, he wants him to know "who's crying now." He says that Savage has talked about him for years but never had the guts to face him in the ring, and that he has suddenly climbed out of his rock to challenge him at Slamboree. He calls Savage "half-troll, half-lizard" and claims that Savage does not have what it takes to beat with him, never did and never will. He also wants to look Hogan in the eye and tell him and the rest of the world why he did what he did, and that he won't explain why he did what he did until he meets him face-to-face tomorrow night. When Okerlund asks Bret if he thinks he's screwed over WCW in exchange for being screwed over by WWF, he asks Okerlund who he is to judge him, and says nothing makes sense anymore. He says it is time to arrive after being on the back burner for so long, and that he has made his presence clear.

Thunderstruck - Thunder recap for March 26, 1998

The show starts with Eric Bischoff telling the production truck staff not to show anything until the nWo tells them to, or else they will have hell to pay. Doug Dellinger and WCW security are called to remove Eric Bischoff, and the footage from the main event from last Monday's Nitro is replayed.

Before the next match, Eddie Guerrero asks Chavo Guerrero Jr. if he has a title shot against Booker T and if he has to do everything he says. Chavo answers "yes" to both questions. Eddie says he is doing this because he loves him and because Chavo has not proven to him and the family, and tells him that Chavo will face "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit while Eddie takes his shot at the WCW World Television Championship.

"The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit beats Chavo Guerrero Jr. with the Crippler Crossface. During the match, Eric Bischoff and Rick Rude boot the commentary team off the commentary table and take over, insisting that there is no dissension within the New World Order and that WCW is manipulating footage to lie to the people.

The commentary team is back after the commercial break.

Eric Bischoff and "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan show up. Bischoff says it does not take a college education to figure out why Hogan has disciples all over the world and see through "the gaga that WCW and [WCW Executive Committee Chairman] J.J. Dillon are trying to create." Hogan says it is another weak attempt by WCW to undermine the most powerful wrestling organization in the world today, and that the nWo is here for life. He says that he is as sure as all the men, women and children who worship the ground he walks on that he and Kevin Nash will win the Batmatch at Spring Stampede and that The Giant has run away, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper was beaten up so badly that he will not be seen again and that "Macho Man" Randy Savage is hiding in the rafters with Sting. Suddenly, Kevin Nash shows up and says that since all the dirty laundry is being put out, he has a couple of questions. He says that everyone knows who is pulling the strings around here and that nobody is pulling his. He tells Hogan that he comes out week after week as the leader of the nWo, but that everyone knows that the Wolfpac (Nash, Scott Hall, Syxx) is the heart and soul of the nWo. Nash then asks why Syxx no longer has a job anymore in the nWo, as well as why Scott Hall isn't on live TV anymore due to being "too dangerous." Hogan tells Nash that it isn't his fault that Syxx can't "cut the mustard and run with the rest of the nWo," and as far as Scott Hall is concerned, he has no idea where he is at. Nash says that Hall isn't here, and Hogan tells Nash that they have a lot on the line at Spring Stampede and that there should be no reason for anybody to think there is dissension in the nWo. He says that Nash is the true giant, and if he has a problem with him or the decisions made in the nWo, he wants to hear them right now. Nash says there is a trust problem going on in the nWo already and that they already don't trust each other. Hogan says they have the same agenda, and that as long as they get the job done, that is all they have to worry about. As far as trusting him goes, he is willing to team up with Nash and trust him with his life while protecting him against anybody in WCW. Nash says "It would be an honor...brother" in a rather sarcastic fashion and leaves.

Mike Tenay guests on commentary for the next match.

Prince Iaukea beats La Parka with a Northern Lights suplex bridge pin.

Tony Schiavone interviews Diamond Dallas Page in the ring. DDP says he got a fax from WCW Executive Committee Chairman J.J. Dillon which stated that he would do all in his power to get the United States title from him. He tells Dillon "thanks, but no thanks," and says he would rather get it back himself as it would be more fun that way. He then says that he had a shot at the US title last Monday, and says that there is nobody with more respect for Sting than him. He then calls Raven "scum," and says that it was Jake "The Snake" Roberts who took him under his wing and that he will get him for everything he said on MTV. DDP also says he is sick to death of Raven's constant whining and complaining, and while Raven is at the bottom of the list of people he feels sorry for, he is at the top of the list of people ready to feel the bang.

Rick Rude guests on commentary for the next match, replacing Lee Marshall.

Before the next match, Booker T tells Chavo Guerrero Jr. that he had a chance to become WCW World Television Champion but elected to listen to Eddie Guerrero. He tells Chavo to be a man and tell him what is on his mind. Eddie takes the microphone and says the only thing Chavo has to say is what he has to say, which is to keep his nose out of the family business. Booker responds by pushing Eddie, and tells Chavo to take a seat and show him how to deal with a bully. As he says this, the bell ring and Eddie tries to knock Booker out with a foreign object. Chavo throws the object back to Eddie, who fumbles while trying to take it, ending the match as soon as it begins. Booker T retains the WCW World Television Championship against Eddie Guerrero by disqualification. Eddie then puts the object in Chavo's hand and tells him to hit Booker T, which he reluctantly does. He then tells Chavo to put the boots to Booker, but it isn't long before "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit to run into the ring and chase the Guerreros away.

Rick Steiner beats Scott Norton. During the match, it is announced that there will be no Thunder next week. Later on, Scott Steiner shows up and tries to toss Rick Steiner's dog collar into the ring, but Rick grabs it and manages to nail both Buff Bagwell and Scott Norton with it. After the match, Rick chases Scott to the back.

It is also announced that "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson was attacked backstage after last week's interview. "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Dean Malenko after the match, and Malenko says it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what's going on, and says that Eddie Guerrero and Syxx are both trying to steal his championship belt. Right now, however, he is focused on "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, who says that there is mutual respect between them and that Benoit is the spitting image of himself.

Benoit tells The Taskmaster that he has proven once again how cowardly he is, as last week "The Enforcer" ARn Aderson made a mistake in talking about his injuries as he infers that The Taskmaster attacked Anderson in his hotel room later that night. Dean Malenko says he's got respect for him that he does not want to lose, and he wants to know why he got in the ring earlier tonight. Flair has heard "Rowdy" Roddy Piper ask where he and Anderson were, and that later on, Piper proved that he "couldn't hang." Flair says the only difference between now and 20 years ago is that they only go to bed one night a week, as opposed to 20 years ago when they didn't go to sleep at all. Flair tells Piper he owes it to all the youngsters why they are the legacy and why this sport rocks and rolls. He then wants Piper to walk down the aisle and say he's a Horseman instead of saying he wants to go back home, as they all have wives and kids and they stand for WCW day after day.
