Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for September 9, 1996

Super Calo beats Pat Tanaka in his Nitro debut by reversing a top rope superplex into a pinfall. During the match, an nWo street team with stacks of flyers is seen outside of the arena.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Rick Steiner backstage. Steiner is convinced he had Lex Luger beaten even though their match last week never started, and Lex Luger says he's focused this week in singles competition with him tonight as he's ready for War Games, which is good for him and bad for Rick. Rick Steiner is confused as to what is going on the entire time.

In another announcement paid for by the New World Order, Hall, Nash and The Giant hawk the official New World Order T-shirt, with all proceeds going to "The Ric Flair Retirement Fund."

Before the next match, The Amazing French Canadians (Jacques Rougeau and Carl Ouellet) sing "O Canada," much to the dismay of the crowd. The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and Brian Knobbs) cut their rendition of the Canadian national anthem short. Soon after the match begins, the nWo street team is seen handing out flyers to the crowd, which all say "You haven't seen bad...but it's coming!"

The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and Brian Knobbs) beat The Amazing French Canadians (Jacques Rougeau and Carl Ouellet) after Knobbs hits Rougeau with the Quebec flag as the latter goes to the top rope. "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The Nasty Boys after the match, Sags says that Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) and the tag team titles are all they are concerned about right now. Knobbs says that they're in WCW, and they want the tag team titles and they're coming to get them.

Scott "Flash" Norton beats Sgt. Craig "Pitbull" Pittman after Ice Train shows up and throws in the towel in Pittman's stead. Ice Train and Norton stare down after the match.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Lex Luger, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson and "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. Flair confronts Luger, asking where Sting is. Luger says Sting is here. Flair then tells The New World Order (Hall, Nash, "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, The Giant) that the show is on next Sunday. Steve "Mongo" McMichael and "The Crippler" Chris Benoit show up, and they are convinced from Sting's absence that they're going to lose. Lex Luger says Sting is in the building. "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson says he's already booked a hospital room in Winston-Salem, as he knows everyone on their team is going to get hurt. He also tells "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan that he should have used battery acid instead of a bat on him, as he came back from a trip to the hospital to confront him the very next week.

Juventud Guerrera beats Joe Gomez. After the match, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews referee Nick Patrick about the disqualification during last week's match between The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) and the team of Sting and Lex Luger. Patrick insists Luger intentionally hit him due to a vendetta against him from "all the lies [Okerlund's] been spreading about me" and asks why Luger hasn't been suspended from WCW. Okerlund says that Patrick has been in too many controversial calls for this to be coincidence, but Patrick says that Okerlund is stirring the pot and that the fans are pointing fingers at him, and insists that he is WCW all the way. After the interview, we see that The New World Order (Hall, Nash, "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, The Giant) are posting nWo flyers on cars in the parking lot as it rains outside while Ted DiBiase is talking to someone who is inside the limousine, raising the possibility of a sixth man in the nWo.

This Saturday on WCW Saturday Night: Diamond Dallas Page vs. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan! Rick Steiner vs. Kurasawa! Lex Luger! Scott "Flash" Norton! "The Crippler" Chris Benoit! The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and Brian Knobbs)!

Rick Steiner beats Lex Luger by count-out. During the match, pyrotechnics signal the start of the second hour. Also during the match, referee Nick Patrick motions Luger to the back, telling him that something has happened to Sting out back. We find out that Sting is talking to Ted DiBiase (even though it's obviously a recording), and when Lex Luger asks where Sting is, Sting comes out of the limo in black and white and attacks Luger along with the rest of The New World Order (DiBiase, Hall, Nash, "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan). Luger plays possum as the chauffeur picks Luger up and Luger throws him, but when he does, everyone else flees.

Lex Luger and some of the men from WCW check one of the New World Order limousines, but only find a box with some cans of spray paint.

Rey Mysterio Jr. retains the WCW World Cruiserweight Championship against Billy Kidman.

The Faces of Fear (Meng and The Barbarian) vs. Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and "Flyboy" Rocco Rock) ends with a victory via disqualification for The Faces of Fear after the match goes out of control. During the match, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The Four Horsemen ("The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, Steve "Mongo" McMichael) and Lex Luger. Anderson is shocked with the recent turn of events concerning Sting, considering that Sting has been the only constant in the last ten years. Luger can't even give answers to Anderson, but he wants in on War Games even more and heads out of the building to find answer from Sting. Flair says the confusion is over, and tells The New World Order (Hall, Nash, "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, The Giant, Sting) that they're going to town on Sunday. Anderson says this will be a fight to the death - the nWo's, not theirs. After the match, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The Dungeon of Doom (Jimmy Hart, The Taskmaster, Big Bubba, Meng, Barbarian, Hugh MOrrus, Maxx, Konnan). Jimmy Hart is sick of everyone getting in his face concerning The Giant, and says when The Giant turned traitor and joined The New World Order, it was the beginning of the end for him and he just didn't know it yet. Big Bubba still wants to know if Glacier is going to show up and get a piece of him. Konnan is tired of the nWo and their public service announcements, and challenge them to come to the ring right now. The Taskmaster tells "Macho Man" Randy Savage to do them a favor and clear his debt with them by taking out John Tenta if he feels he owes them a debt for helping him to the back last week, and to watch his back at War Games. He also says you can't trust anyone around here, and if Sting will turn, who else will?

We see another paid announcement from The New World Order. They brag about the money they have and the fact that they have the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. DiBiase also has plans for the nWo: time on the WCW's programming as well as an "nWo tag team tournament" with "nWo Tag Team Championships."

John Tenta beats "Macho Man" Randy Savage by count-out after Theodore Long asks "Macho Man" Randy Savage to come to the back, saying that The New World Order are back. Savage joins The Four Horsemen and other WCW wrestlers and search one of the limousines, but once again finds an box of spray paint. Despite all the rain, the WCW wrestlers spray paint "WCW" on the abandoned limo with the yellow spray paint. As Eric Bischoff speaks, The Four Horsemen ("The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, Steve "Mongo" McMichael) show up. Anderson calls out Hogan for turning his back on WCW and turning Sting against the company and promises to take Sting's head off. Flair tells Hogan that he will not leave town alive after War Games.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and The British Bulldog beat "The King Of Harts" Owen Hart and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart with a Sharpshooter to Neidhart.

We hear from Chuck Norris of Walker, Texas Ranger, who says he looks for the toughest opponents he can find, and there are none tougher than the WWF Superstars. He's at Survivor Series to see them get it on as he takes on a "special troubleshooting referee" role in the Casket Match between The Undertaker and Yokozuna. Also, the WWF Championship match is a submission match, with British Bulldog in Bret "The Hit Man" Hart's corner with a pink and black towel, and "The King Of Harts" Owen Hart in Bob Backlund's corner with the same white towel Arnold Skaaland threw into the ring all those years ago.

We see footage from during the break where Tatanka and Ludvig Borga have a brief confrontation backstage.

Ludvig Borga beats Tony Roy with the Torture Rack.

Joe Fowler advertises a show at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York for Friday night, October 29th with a quadruple main event.

Schyster and Diesel, Marty Jannetty will be taking on "The Model" Rick Martel, and The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) will defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn). Fowler then interviews the team of Irwin R. Schyster and Diesel and the team of Mr. Perfect and Razor Ramon for Face To Face. Razor Ramon says you can see the scar that Diesel left on him last time they were in Nassau Coliseum, and talks about how Mr. Perfect came out only to be hit with a cheap shot. He says that this time, things will be different. Diesel says his right hand will do the talking, and Mr. Perfect says he has seen guys like Diesel come and go in the WWF, and now he is standing next to Razor Ramon. Diesel will be looking at both him and Razor, and Mr. Perfect makes it clear that Diesel is the man that he wants after what he did to The 1-2-3 Kid. Irwin R. Schyster says Mr. Perfect has the wrong person on his back, and he will pay for it in Nassau Coliseum.

Pat Tanaka pays homage to Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji in footage from earlier today.

The 1-2-3 Kid beats Pat Tanaka.

On the Survivor Series Report, The Hart Family (Bret "Hit Man" Hart, "The Rocket" Owen Hart, Bruce Hart, Keith Hart) and The King and His Knights ("The King" Jerry Lawler and three other partners) in a Traditional 4-on-4 Survivor Series Match is official for Survivor Series.

After the report, Lawler mentions that his partners are The Red Knight, The Blue Knight and The Black Knight, though the identities of the knights are not revealed.

"The Rocket" Owen hart beats Scott Taylor. After the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler draws a toiler on a still of

We get a look at "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, who is in front of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. He was born into a wrestling family, and he was predestined to become the greatest wrestler of all-time, but he is coming to WWF to not only prove that, but to prove he is the greatest country singer of all time, as he has more talent, stage presence and charisma than anyone else. However, he has yet to get noticed in the country music business due to the fact that he is from Nashville and due to the corrupt politics in the business. He plans to use the WWF to get noticed, and the country music business will come crawling to him, begging him to sign a contract. When that happens, the sign for the Country Music Hall of Fame will be replaced with a statue of himself and the Hall of Fame itself will be a shrine dedicated to him.

In a rare twist, Jerry Seavey and Mike Davis beat The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) by disqualification after Pierre pulls Mike Davis out of a pinfall, even though Davis was never officially part of the match. After the match, The Quebecers viciously attack Seavey and Davis, much to the delight of Johnny Polo.

Lex Luger is on the cover of the newest issue of WWF Magazine available now, and his match against Yokozuna at SummerSlam is covered inside.

Joe Fowler re-advertises the show at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York for Friday night, October 29th. Fowler then interviews Bret "Hit Man" Hart and "The King" Jerry Lawler for Face To Face. Bret calls Lawler "scum," and says Lawler never beat anybody to become king. As far as SummerSlam, he did not lose anything and Lawler got stretchered out. At Nassau Coliseum, he will make Lawler pay for what he did to him and his family, and he will prove that Lawler is no king. Lawler says Bret's mouth is making promises his body cannot keep, and he finds it fitting that their grudge match is happening at Nassaum Coliseum "where all the losers congregate." He says this match will take place close to Halloween, when his mother "can come out of the house and look normal," and he wants him to bring his mother to the match to see him lose.

Next week: Highlight from "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Crush on next week's R! Doink! Irwin R. Schsyter! The Rock 'n Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson)! Diesel! Razor Ramon!
