Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for February 7, 2000

Backstage, Acting WCW Commissioner Jeff Jarrett tells the rest of the New World Order (Scott Hall, Ron Harris, Don Harris), that after tonight, Sid Vicious will think last week was a cakewalk after what he has in store for him and that he will be begging to get rid of the World Heavyweight Championship on eBay.

3 Count (Evan Karagias, Shannon Moore, Shane Helms) are in the ring. As they are in the ring, the music slows down at random points. At first, only Shannon and Shane notice, but soon even Evan notices, and then it alternates between speeding up and slowing down. It is then revealed that "Screamin'" Norman Smiley has commandered the music from the production truck. When Norman's music plays, Norman says "Now that's music!"

"Screamin'" Norman Smiley beats Evan Karagias. Former NWA Junior Heavyweight Champion Danny Hodge is seen in the crowd cheering Smiley on after his win. After the match, Norman tells 3 Count that they have pushed his back against the wall and he is coming out fighting. He then challenges all three of them at once at SuperBrawl, where he says he will have lined up like Vegas showgirls before he does the big wiggles. He then says it's wiggle time in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

J. Biggs - now leads policemen into the locker room, telling them that Booker it in possession of some illegal contraband. The item in question is some sort of shirt.

A black limousine is seen in the parking lot. Out of the limousine comes a couple of women followed by "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair.

The New World Order (Scott Steiner, Acting WCW Commissioner Jeff Jarrett, Scott Hall, Ron Harris, Don Harris) show up along with a couple of women. The Harris Brothers say they are here to give a wake-up call to everyone in the back, as they are in the house. They tell everyone in the back to stay out of their way or they will get hurt, as they are the elite, and no matter how hard anyone tries, nobody will be able to get rid of them. Scott Steiner verbally craps on Tulsa, Oklahoma, then Midajah and Kim say that Scott Steiner is their Superman. Scott Steiner says that last week, he watched a 53-year-old man with more loose skin than a Sharpei puppy come out to the ring and say he is still the man. He says that Flair has been the butt end of all the jokes, and says Flair should have used his money to get a taxi and fixed his crooked, yellow teeth. He then asked himself "If WCW was going to hire Ric Flair, why wouldn't they hire Buddy Rogers?" He then says Flair's career is dead, but Flair is still stylin' and profilin', because Flair could steal Buddy Rogers' name, but not his class. He then says that just like him, the viewers at home changed the channel to watch WWF, because Flair and his friends got fired from there and Flair is "an old, jealous bastard." He tells Flair that there has never been a bigger "ass-kissin', butt-suckin' bastard" in the business and in life than him, and Flair belongs where he is at in WCW because WCW sucks and so does he. As for himself, he is just going to stay in the nWo for life. Jarrett then says that the nWo is in "slapnuts country," and since he is still Acting WCW Commissioner, he might as well get to work. He sends a message to Sid Vicious, saying he is not done with him yet. He has already hand-picked his referee, who will be referee Mark Johnson. He then adds a second stipulation for his match against Sid at SuperBrawl, and that the match is a no-disqualification match. At SuperBrawl, he will bring the World title back to the nWo and he proves that he has all the stroke around here. He has promised that Sid does not have to defend the World title against him, but until then, Sid will have to wrestle who he tells him to wrestle, and tonight, he will have to face Scott Hall in the main event tonight. Scott Hall does not like this, but Jarrett tells him he cleared him tonight, then tells Sid to be in good shape for SuperBrawl. He promises Sid that Hall will be "all up in [his] ass" tonight.

Booker and Midnight are backstage. Booker tells Midnight that "the new and improved Harlem Heat" (Stevie Ray, Big T, J. Biggs) will not take away his dignity.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews David Flair, Crowbar and Daffney backstage. David says that maybe this was meant to be, but tonight, he has to fight one of "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair's battles.

Booker's entrance music seems to sound like it comes from a 1950s sitcom, and his entrance no longer has pyrotechnics.

The Wall beats Booker. During the match, J. Biggs shows up with the two policeman, which distracts Booker to the point that The Wall beats Booker with the choke slam. J. Biggs has Booker arrested for assault and battery, cuplpable negligence, reckless endangerment and attempted murder.

An angry Brian Knobbs meets with The New World Order (Acting WCW Commissioner Jeff Jarrett, Scott Hall, Scott Steiner, Ron Harris, Don Harris), confronting Jarrett for double-crossing him last week. Jarrett says that if Knobbs had more money, he would have been wrestling Fit Finley. He then asks Knobbs if he wants to finish it with Finley tonight, and says he can consider it done. When Knobbs leaves, the nWo votes to put Knobbs in a match with Bam Bam Bigelow.

Backstage, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson asks Terry Funk if he is going to go through tonight's match. Funk says a man has got to do what a man has got to do, and he wants to know where Anderson stands. Anderson says he will see how the match goes, and then he will tell him where he stands. Funk feels betrayed.

Lenny Lane and Lodi plan on challenging The Mamalukes (Johnny The Bull and Big Vito) to a tag team match tonight.

Tank Abbott beats The Barbarian by knock-out. Tank Abbott's former bodyguard Big Al is seen in the crowd after the match.

The Demon's casket is seen backstage. Crowbar approaches it and examines the casket, then knocks on it before rocking out on his lead pipe. Crowbar says "Coming!" when he hears Daffney screams, then runs off.

We see Torrie Wilson on the Kid Cam. Kidman says he came to see her, then Torrie Wilson kisses the lens of the Kid Cam.

Oklahoma shows up. He thanks the fans for "the warm Oklahoma reception," then he gets booed. He stands before the fans tonight not just as a man, but in an official capacity. He announces that Acting WCW Commissioner Jeff Jarrett has named him to organize a new division in WCW that he was born to spearhead. He then announces that he is the General Manager of the WCW Women's Division. He says that women have no place in wrestling, and he has proved it time and time again, but some of them keep trying and trying and says "it's just adorable." He has decided to make it easy for these women and to look out for them. He plans to institute rigorous medical examinations for each and every woman on the roster, and he will be physically present for each and every examination. However, this is bad news for Medusa, and asks Dr. Heywood Jeter to come to the ring. Dr. Heywood Jeter shows up, and Oklahoma says he has discovered that Madusa is part of Dr. Jeter's clientele. Jeter admits he has done cosmetic work on Madusa's nose, eyes, lips, chest and buttocks. Oklahoma says that Madusa has no place in the women's division, saying she is not "a natural woman." Suddenly, Madusa shows up, and Oklahoma thinks that everyone is cheering for him. Madusa slaps Dr. Jeter and kicks him to the ground, then kicks Oklahoma in the gut that sends him out of the ring. She then breaks Oklahoma's clipboard on Dr. Jeter's head before kicking him in the groin. At this point, Oklahoma is getting out of the ring and heading to the back.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund announces that the WCW executive board has been in a closed-door session for a a couple of hours and that Terry Taylor is coming out of that meeting with big news that will be passed down to the fans shortly.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Terry Taylor backstage. Even though the WCW executive board cannot change participants in a match, they can change the stipulations. He announces that Mark Johnson will no longer be the special guest referee in Jeff Jarrett vs. Sid Vicious for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at SuperBrawl. He also announces that Sid Vicious vs. Scott Hall will be for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. Backstage, Acting WCW Commissioner Jeff Jarrett is irritated with Terry Taylor's announcement.

We look back at Terry Funk and "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair's "I Quit" Match from 1989.

Before the next match, David Flair tells Crowbar and Daffney to head to the back. Terry Funk then asks David Flair if he knows that he is getting into an "I Quit" Match before giving him one chance to say he quits before the match goes any further. David Flair tells Terry Funk that he will go to Hell before he is quitting. Funk says he knows "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair is backstage, and dares Ric to face him in an "I Quit" Match, saying he won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship fourteen times and lost it fourteen times. As he continues to call Ric out, David Flair grabs a steel chair and smacks Funk in the back with it.

David Flair beats Terry Funk in an "I Quit" Match. During the match, Funk tells "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair to come to the ring and get David as he proceeds to piledrive David into bare cement floor before piledriving him again through a table and threatening to break his neck. Funk gives Ric Flair fie more seconds to get to the ring, and when he does not shot, Funk calls Ric Flair "a filthy bastard" before saying he does not have any chickens like Ric Flair at his "chicken ranch." He then says he does not need to beat on David any more, and says he will quit tonight before saying he will not quit against Ric. He then calls Ric Flair a "banana-nosed, pig-eyed, lyin', cheatin' evil bastard."

Backstage, Mike Tenay is watching the match on a television monitor when "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson shows up and asks Tenay if he has access to a camera crew. Tenay says he does, then says Terry Funk will have his answer in two minutes.

We see footage of David Flair being helped back to the back by referee Mickey Jay and a WCW medical doctor during the break.

Backstage, Mike Tenay interviews "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson. Anderson says that last Thursday, he said that guys like Terry Funk and "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair make him proud to call himself a wrestler. After tonight, he says that what happened earlier was one beating David Flair did not have to take, and he almost wants to agree with Scott Steiner right now, which makes him want to puke. He also says Terry Funk did not have to make an example out of David, and Ric did not have to let it happen. He says that Ric is dancing around trying to be "The Nature Boy" when he should have ran into the ring to stop this. For the first time in his life, he is going to bow out of both Flair's life and the human race, as what he saw made him sick and he wants no part of it.

Stevie Ray beats Disco Inferno. J. Biggs, Big T and The Mamalukes (Johnny The Bull and Big Vito) almost go at it, and referees have to be brought in to escort The Mamalukes to the back. Later on, Disco Inferno grabs at Stevie Ray's slapjack, but referee Charles Robinson snags it away from him. Stevie Ray then hits the Slapjack for the win.

Backstage, Acting WCW Commissioner Jeff Jarrett talks privately with Scott Hall, saying that the WCW executive board wants to split The New World Order (Jeff Jarrett, Scott Hall, Scott Steiner, Ron Harris, Don Harris) up. Scott Hall tells Jarrett he will soften Sid Vicious up for him and keep the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in the nWo.

Backstage, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Sid Vicious. Sid does not care who Acting WCW Commissioner Jeff Jarrett or the WCW executive board throws in his path. He says that he has tricked The New World Order (Jeff Jarrett, Scott Hall, Scott Steiner, Ron Harris, Don Harris) every time, and says Scott Hall is temporarily back in the ring tonight to face final extinction and total oblivion, as he will end his career.

WCW reminds the fans to tune in to Thunder on Wednesdays at 9:05 PM Eastern on TBS.

"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair leaves in the black limousine with his women. He says that he had something special for "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson" tonight, but now Anderson is in over his head.

The Total Package and Miss Elizabeth show up with a steel chair with a "Hulkster" logo on one side and a white scorpion on the other. The Total Package talks about the return of Hulk Hogan last week on Thunder, then says Hulk Hogan made a mistake in questioning his track record in the sport of professional wrestling. He says Hogan was on the mountain top loking down at everyone else, but now he is the man of professional wrestling and Hogan will find that out the hard way at SuperBrawl when he puts him in the Torture Rack and breaking him in two. He says that he will get the last laugh, then calls out Jimmy Hart. Jimmy Hart shows up, and The Total Package gives Jimmy Hart credit for keeping the show running. Jimmy Hart tells The Total Package that if he wants info on Hulk Hogan, he asked the right person, as he is Hogan's best friend. He then calls The Total Package "a Hulk Hogan wanna-be" and that in his lifetime, he will never sell out as many arenas, sell as much merchandise, have as many fans, or earn as much money as Hogan has. He tells The Total Package that if he wants to send a message to Hogan, he can do it himself. The Total Package stops Jimmy Hart, then says the chants for Hogan made him sick and made him think he was in some sort of time warp. He then says he has one thing Hogan lacks: a vicious streak. He then kicks Jimmy Hart in the gut before putting him in the Torture Rack. Miss Elizabeth then puts Jimmy Hart's hand through the steel chair, then The Total Package stomps the chair to break Jimmy Hart's wrist before telling Hulk Hogan he will see him at SuperBrawl. Medical doctors then tend to Jimmy Hart.

Sid Vicious retains the WCW World Heavyweight Championship against Scott Hall. During the match, referee Nick Patrick gets caught in Scott Hall's fallaway slam to Sid Vicious, then Hall calls for Acting WCW Commissioner Jeff Jarrett to show up as Nick Patrick is down.

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

Kimberly finds Terry Taylor (formerly of the World Wrestling Federation) backstage, who wants to know why the powers that be want to see her. He doesn't know, but he tells her that she had better go see them.

The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) are backstage, with Nash wearing a blonde curly wig and make-up that makes him look like Sid Vicious.

Mike Tenay interviews Spice of The Nitro Girls in footage from earlier today. Spice says AC Jazz, whom she is scheduled to face in a match tonight, is indeed a no-show, and says that AC Jazz has not only figured out what is best for the team, but she is officially out of The Nitro Girls. All of a sudden, Spice is suddenly attacked by Tygress.

The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) show up. Scott Hall says they have a message for Sid Vicious: he is as dumb as he looks and he has the proof right next to him. Kevin Nash, in make-up and a blonde wig that makes him look like Sid, mocks Sid, and says he would be the United States champion right now if he could walk and chew gum at the same time. He says he may be a little slow, look like a jackass and have the face and brains of a mule, may be outwitted and not even be able to form a complete sentence, but he is the ruler of the world. Suddenly, the real Sid Vicious shows up, and says he has enough of The Outsiders as they have screwed him and made him look like a jackass, but it all stops tonight. Nash can wear any costume he wants, but Nash is half the man that he is as and that he has half the brains that Nash does. (Author's note: he seriously says this.) Week after week, they tried to make him look like a jackass, but it stop tonight, and for Nash, the road to the WCW World Heavyweight Championship ends. Even though he is already scheduled to wrestle night, if he can get his "chickenshit ass" out of retirement, he will show him who the master and ruler is when they go one-on-one. Nash says he is still retired, but Sid tells him to be a man, not a clown, as he can look at him and see a shell of the former him.

Mike Tenay interviews Booker T. Booker T says the time is counting down, and tonight, midnight will strike for Creative Control (Patrick and Gerald, an obvious reference to Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco). Creative Control will learn a good mystery always come together in the end, and midnight will strike sooner that we think.

Kimberly meets Creative Control (Patrick and Gerald). One of them lets Vince Russo know that she is here, while the other one tries to hit on her.

Kimberly tells Vince Russo she does not want to be a wrestler, but Vine Russo tells her that she does not know what she wants to be, and if she is not going to dance as a Nitro Girl, she will wrestle like everyone else as she is still under contract to him. To show there are no hard feelings, she will be in a "tune-up" match against Asya, and that there will be a special guest referee to ensure she does not get hurt. Kimberly does not want to do the match, but Vince Russo and Creative Control (Patrick and Gerald) tell her it is in her best interest. After Russo tells Kimberly to leave, Russo tells Creative Control to deal with Booker T, as he does not want him as a thorn in his side any longer. Creative Control leaves, then Kevin Nash enters the room and sits in front of Russo.

Chavo Guerrero, Jr. tries to sell his Amway products to Booker T, but Booker T is far from interested as he heads to the ring.

Creative Control (Patrick and Gerald) beat Booker T in a two-on-one handicap match. At the beginning of the match, it is announced that the powers that be have waived Kevin Nash's retirement, and Nash will take on Sid Vicious in an anything goes Street Fight later tonight.

He also asks if they remember being Skull and 8-Ball of D.O.A., then tells them to "get on the stick" or they will be out the door. He then tells them to get out of his sight and bring him Torrie Wilson and The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman, Eddie Guerrero), whom he calls "Torrie and the luchadors."

In the Mayhem Match of the Week, Evan Karagias beats Johnny Boone. Madusa is seen walking behind Evan Karagias as he heads to the ring before the match, and she joins on commentary, and it sounds like Madusa has found someone special in her life. Later on, Madusa gets in the ring and lifts Johnny Boone's shirt over his head before pushing him back to Karagias, giving him the win. After the match, Madusa and Evan Karagias share a few kisses, then Karagias carries Madusa to the back.

At the beginning of the match, the pinata comes off the pole, and at the luchadores try to put it back on the pole to no success. The match ends when Dr. Death gets in the ring and levels everybody. Silver King gets the check, but Dr. Death takes it from him before gorilla press slamming him on the top rope.

Mike Tenay interviews Goldberg. Goldberg says professionally, he has no thing but respect for Curt Hennig, but personally, he does not give a damn about the powers that be. He says he is the power, and that strange things have been happening and that nobody remembers who he is or what he represents. Tonight, he gets in the ring because it is his job, and there will be a reality check for the rest of the world when they find out who he really is.

Mike Tenay interviews Kevin Nash, who is no longer disguised as Sid Vicious. He says that Tony Schiavone was right when he said that the retirement angle was bogus, and he goes on to say that WCW sucked at the time. He decided he was going to take time off until the company got fun again, and after Scott Hall returned, it got fun again. As for Sid, there is an old wrestling proverb that states "Don't wake a sleeping giant." He plans to not only kick Sid's teeth out, he plans to crawl up his ass and kick them out from the inside.

Goldberg is on his way to the ring when Curt Hennig shows up and slams a door in his face. When he opens it back up, Goldberg gives him the fight of his life in the hallway. As they make their way to the ring, the cameraman gets kicked, and the bell rings when both men make it down to the aisle.

Before the next match, Asya goes at it with special guest referee Torrie Wilson, who is wearing a black-and-white striped two-piece bikini. Kidman hands Torrie Wilson a coat and gets her back to the back, then Asya and Kimberly fight each other without a referee in sight for a few seconds. Somebody in a referee's uniform shows up, but it is David Flair with a crowbar. Kimberly runs away upon seeing David, and when David gets in the ring, Asya proceeds to beat the crap out of him.

Shane Douglas says The House Of Pain is where The Revolution will show the world exactly what they are made of, and says it is the most dangerous structure ever developed in WCW, a veritable torture chamber for The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman, Eddie Guerrero) and a spectacular forum for The Revolution. When The House Of Pain match is over, the pain has just begun.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for November 8, 1999

Sid Vicious forces a tape engineer to play a video when he gives the cue, or else he will be back and he will have to deal with him.

Sid Vicious shows up. He makes it clear to The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) that he is not as dumb as he looks. Last week, they tried to screw him, but it didn't work, and if they want a battle of wits, they will lose that battle as he has the brain of a psychopath. He then focuses on Goldberg, as last week, he told the world he would prove that at Halloween Havoc, Goldberg said he quit and that he surrendered. When he calls for the footage to be played, it is played. The videotape is obviously edited, yet Sid insists that Goldberg is a coward and that he is the WCW United States Heavyweight Champion. Suddenly, The Outsiders show up with Scott Hall wearing the United States title around his waist, and Hall asks Sid why the belt is on his waist if Sid is the United States title. Last week, he beat him, but Sid says he screwed him, as he was supposed to lay down. Hall says he doesn't lay down for anybody, as that is not how they operation. Sid says Hall will lay down right now, but Nash stops him, telling him "not to get his panties in a wad." He says Hall's competitive juices got the better of him last week, but they did not hit him with the crutch, and tells him to call out Bret "The Hit Man" Hart as he is the man Sid has a problem with. Bret shows up, and says that since they want to talk about panties, he calls them "three big pussies." The way he sees it, Goldberg is the United States Champion, and when he is done, he will take back the United States title and hand it back to Goldberg personally. Hall tells Bret that if he wants the belt, then "don't sing it...bring it." Bret heads to the ring with Sid, Nash and Hall at the ready, and as Sid attacks Bret while The Outsiders flee, Goldberg gets in the ring and goes at it with Sid, hitting him with a Spear. Goldberg then tells Sid "I don't think so," and that if he remembers correctly, the first chapter ended with him bloodied all over the ring. However, that wasn't enough for Goldberg, who proposes another idea: a match where only he or Sid can decide the fate in an "I Quit" Match. Sid accepts the challenge. As far as The Outsiders are concerned, if they want to play a game, they can play a game of hide-and-seek: they hide and he seeks and destroys.

Mike Tenay interviews Sting. He has seen the game The Total Package wanted to play, and it made him want to puke. He now has a lot of explaining to do, and if he has to beat him with his bat, he'll do it. As far as Goldberg goes, it will go down differently than Halloween Havoc did, and he's got some work to do.

Miss Elizabeth helps The Total Package - in an Indiana Pacers hoodie - get in the building.

We see footage from earlier today where Kimberly tells head of WCW security Doug Dellinger to keep an eye out for David Flair, telling him that David has been calling her all week, and asks for extra security. She gets it.

The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) consider getting security of their own. Kevin Nash reveals that he has a manager's license.

The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio, Kidman, Eddie Guerrero) and Torrie Wilson are in the ring before the next match. Eddie says The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn, Asya) wants to change the world, but The Filthy Animals are going to rock their world. Torrie Wilson is home, and The Revolution lost the war and started something they could not finish. Rey says the only reason they left Asya is because "there are no mutts allowed in this kennel,"and says that they are the new breed, and if they don't like that, they're going to hump The Revolution like the dogs that they are. Dean Malenko then shows up with Asya, and says Rey has a big mouth for a little bunk. If he wants to call Asya a mutt, then this mutt can have him for lunch. He challenges Rey and Torrie Wilson to a mixed tag match, then asks "if he has a set on [him]" and if he is still "working that knee." Rey tells Malenko to "unleash that freaky beast," and he and Torrie will be more than happy to put a muzzle on her and send her straight to the pound. Norman Smiley, known now as "Screamin'" Norman Smiley, shows up in hockey gear. It is then announced that a Texas Tornado Ladder Match between Goldberg, Sid Vicious, Scott Hall and Bret "The Hit Man" Hart will take place later tonight to determine an undisputed United States Heavyweight Champion. There will also be a special guest referee for the match, but that person is not known as of yet. Jimmy Hart and Brian Knobbs then guest on commentary for the next match.

Kidman beats "Screamin'" Normal Smiley after Jimmy Hart distracts referee Billy Silverman and Brian Knobbs repeatedly smacks Norman Smiley with a hockey stick after Knobbs says that all Smiley needs now is a hockey stick to go with the rest of his hockey gear.

Sting is seen looking for The Total Package, who is in a washroom with Miss Elizabeth. Meanwhile, David Flair is in the parking lot with a crowbar.

The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) are seen getting a manager's outfit for Nash when Hall notices two men in all-black riot gear walking past.

Sting shows up. He gives The Total Package exactly 30 seconds to show up in the ring, saying they can do this either "nice and easy" or "nice and rough." Miss Elizabeth shows up instead, and tells him that The Total Package wants her to apologize in his stead, saying their friendship is too important and that he would not do anything to jeopardize that friendship. She then says that The Total Package apologizes from the bottom of his heart, he is really sorry. Sting complements Miss Elizabeth on her looks, then says he has tried unsuccessfully to get The Total Package out to the ring, and tells her to call him down to the ring. Suddenly, The Total Package shows up, and he says nothing has come between them and that they can work this out. He tells him not to listen to the fans, and that this is between only them. He apologizes to Sting, saying he values their friendship and that they need to mend this fence as they belong together as a team, and begs him to come back, saying he loves him like a brother. The Total Package asks Sting to hug him, and Sting goes for the hug motion only to choke him out in the corner. Sting tells him that if he ever swerves him, he will get him, and he will rip his throat out next time.

Kimberly is in the locker room when the lights suddenly go out. A voice asks Kimberly if she remembers them, and that she won't feel a thing. The voice sounds eerily similar to David Flair's.

Goldberg is on one in a series of collectible cans of Surge available now.

"The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit beats Madusa by disqualification to advance in the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament. During the match, Evan Karagias shows up and tries to stop the match, and this leads to a brawl between Karagias and referee Johnny Boone. As this is going on and other referees are trying to break up the brouhaha, Jeff Jarrett gets in the ring with Benoit, and they start brawling. Benoit gets the win by disqualification due to outsider interference. After the match, Jarrett tells Madusa that this is not the WWF and that they do not hit women around here, but Madusa tries to fight him anyway before Jarrett says he screwed her out of the tournament.

Chavo Guerrero Jr. stands before Vince Russo (who is once again unseen) while wearing a suit and tie, with "Creative Control" close behind. He asks for an opportunity, and gets one in the form of an Amway briefcase. He tells him to start selling things and to get out of his office.

This week's Mayhem Match of the Week winner is Don Comfort of Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.

Backstage, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan is seen cleaning the powers that be's toilet.

Rick Steiner beats Disco Inferno. During the match, the man who came out during Disco Inferno's last week comes out with a bucket of wet concrete. His name is Tony Marinara, and he is here for the money that Disco owes him. He has been carrying him since he was a kid, and he is not carrying him anymore. He eventually distracts the referee, allowing Rick Steiner to hit Disco with the bucket. After the match, Marinara threatens to dump the cement on Disco.

Sting is seen in the bathroom doing some push-ups on a sink, while Goldberg is seen getting ready in his own locker room.

Scott Hall is talking to the two men in riot gear. Kevin Nash comes out of the bathroom dressed like The Grand Wizard, and has powder, chloroform and a real brass knuckle in his pockets. Scott Hall says he feels bad about last week and says they should make up with Sid Vicious. Kevin Nash has a plan, and asks the two men in riot gear to follow him.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund is in the ring with potential Nitro Girls: Zuli from Miami, Florida; Ashley from Raleigh, North Carolina; Keisha from Cincinnati, Ohio; Jamie from Atlanta, Georgia; Nicole from Kansas City, Missouri; Amy from Biloxi, Mississippi; Stacy from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Lauren from Phoenix, Arizona. Viewers can vote on the final winner on WCW.com. We then see all eight women dance. Afterwards, AC Jazz shows up, and wants them all out of the ring, calling them "Nitro Girls wanna-bes" and "skanks" who want to thake her job. Spice shows up and wants to know what is going with her, but AC Jazz says she is here to save the day like Mary Poppins and tells her to fly away like the "witch bitch" that she is. Spice has had enough, and tells her to bring it on if she has a problem.. Both of them go at it on. Storm and the rest of The Nitro Girls have to pull both women apart.

Backstage, Kimberly is armed with a pipe. Upon seeing David Flair, she drops it and runs away. David hears that and walks in her general direction.

Seven shows up. Instead of walking down the aisle, he flies down it and into the ring. As soon as he speaks and the lights come on, it is noticeable that Seven is, in fact, Dustin Rhodes (aka Goldust). He tells the crowd to "take a long look at the crap that [he is] in," and that he left the WWF for gimmicks like this. He then says he used to be Goldust, and Goldust sucks. He syas that Goldust nearly ruined his wrestling career, and he wanted to come back to WCW because this is home for him and he wanted to be himself, but the powers that be came to him and told him "Dustin sucks. Dustin is boring." He then says his name is now "Seven," and that they have dressed him up like Uncle Fester to play trick-or-treat all year long. He takes off his hat and jacket and tells the powers that be to take Goldust and shove it up their ass, take Seven and shove it up their ass, and then they can both kiss his ass. Last week, his father "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes called him, and it seems that he is no longer with the company after 25 years, when the company "kicked him to the curb like a piece of shit." That does not cut the mustard, and now the powers that be have him to deal with. They have embarrassed him and the Rhodes Family name, and they have pissed him off for the last time. From this moment on and until the end of time, he will make everything a living Hell, and he tells the producers that tonight and forevermore, they will never forget the name of Dustin Rhodes.

Kimberly is seen hiding in a dark room. David Flair is seen entering the room, looking for her.

The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) knock on Sid Vicious' locker room door. The Total Package talks with Miss Elizabeth, saying he has a really good idea to make it up to Sting.

Goldberg beats Sting. During the match, The Total Package and Miss Elizabeth show up, and Goldberg inadvertently backs Sting into referee Mickey Jay as Sting has him in a sleeper. Miss Elizabeth pulls out a can of mace and sprays Sting in the eyes, and Goldberg then hits the Spear followed by the Jackhammer for the win.

The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) apologize to Sid Vicious, and offers him the men in riot gear in case "Goldberg gets a little bit crazy." Rick Steiner shows up and confronts Sid briefly, then leaves. The Total Package and Miss Elizabeth come across "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan mopping a floor, then The Total Package steals one of his wet floor signs.

Kimberly finds a security guard, but the security guard is David Flair.

Mike Tenay interviews Vampiro, who is accompanied by The Misfits. He says this is no debut, and that being a misfit is a lifestyle when you go against the grain and everyone messes with you. As far as Buff Bagwell is concerned, he will find out just like Berlyn did that evil has a place in WCW and they are knocking on the door.

Vampiro and The Misfits attack Buff Bagwell before the next match.

When Saturn gets back in with him, he falls victim to the Sharpshooter.

Kimberly meets with "Creative Control," wanting to talk to Vince Russo. They tell her to wait her turn like everyone else.

The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) are in their locker room with the security guards. Not only is Nash still dressed up like The Grand Wizard, he also does his best Carnac the Magnificent impression with an envelope provided to him by one of the riot gear guards, saying the answer to the question in the envelope is "316." He then opens the envelope, with the question being "The number of times The Undertaker has worked a main event with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin."

The Total Package is now in a wheelchair.

Booker T shows up. He says he is not supposed to be here tonight, but he has a few things on his mind in the form of "Creative Control" and Jeff Jarrett. He tells them they know what happened last week, and they can either get in the ring with him right now or he can find them backstage himself and get them in the ring himself before beating their asses in front of the world. He also tells "Creative Control" that if they want to suspend his brother Stevie Ray, he can "suspend their damn lives." He then calls them all out for a Harlem Street Fight. Jeff Jarrett shows up with "Creative Control" and a guitar in his hand, and Jarrett guests on commentary while "Creative Control" deal with Booker T.

"Creative Control" beat Booker T in a Harlem Street Fight. During the match, Jarrett gets in the ring with his guitar, then a muscular woman gets in the ring, punches Jarrett in the mouth, and gets a guitar to the head in response.

Sid stomps on The Total Package until Miss Elizabeth shows back up, but Sid puts Miss Elizabeth to the side and continues to attack The Total Package in the corner. Goldberg then shows up, and the riot squad who is supposed to protect Sid let him in the ring.

Before the next match, it is announced that a Cane Match between Vampiro and Berlyn is signed for Mayhem. "Screamin'" Norman Smiley guests on commentary as he will be facing the winner at Mayhem.

Brian Knobbs beats Bam Bam Bigelow by count-out in a hardcore match, despite the match being a hardcore match, and goes on to face "Screamin'" Norman Smiley at Mayhem.

Before the match, it is announced that Ernest "The Cat" Miller will be out for another three to four weeks due to the injury from his match against Lash LeRoux last week. After the match, Kevin Nash asks the riot squad to get in the ring so that Goldberg does not get in the ring with him and Hall. As all the riot squad members leave, one of them stays in the ring. Kevin Nash gets a handful of powder and is about to toss it at him when the riot guard smacks it back into his face. He then removes his helmet to reveal himself as Goldberg, and Spears Scott Hall before Spearing Kevin Nash.

Jeff Jarrett beats Curt Hennig by count-out to advance in the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament. During the match, Jeff Jarrett goes for his signature reverse Russian leg sweep (now known as "The Stroke"), but Hennig pushes him into the referee. This allows "Creative Control" to attack Hennig after he lands a Hennigplex, and they throw him through the commentary table. Hennig grabs the floor mats to keep from being brought back into the ring, and even though he is counted out, he gets to keep his job. After the match, Jarrett hits Hennig with The Stroke.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for November 1, 1999

Backstage, The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) are confronted by Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, who is now on crutches and calls them the two biggest pieces of scum he has ever seen. Kevin Nash says Bret should be happy that they helped him win the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship, but Bret says this is not how he does business and that he does not need their help to win. He tells them to stay out of his business.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart shows up. Bret says he did not build his reputation by screwing people, and that he watched the footage of last week's match and it is obvious to him that Goldberg got screwed. He says there is a lot of scum running around in the back, such as The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) and Sid Vicious, and tells them that as far as he is concerned, Goldberg is the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship and that he does not want to win a title like he did last week. Suddenly, Sid shows up, saying the title does not belong to Goldberg and that it belongs to him, and what Bret does not know is that at Halloween Havoc, the referee stopped the match at his discretion. If Bret thinks for a second that a little blood will make him quit, he is mistaken, and that he has proof that Goldberg said he quit, which he will show off later on. Right now, he wants something that belongs to him, and that it is the United States title. Sid tells Bret "Screw you," to which Sid replies "Screw your crippled ass." He then clotheslines Bret to the mat and takes the boots to him, then The Outsiders show up as Sid is about to powerbomb Bret. The Outsiders stop Sid, hand him the United States title and raise Sid's hand. Sid leaves as Nash and Hall continue to mess with Bret.

A steel cage is situated high above the ring.

Group 3 of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship Tournament is "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit vs. Dean Malenko, Madusa vs. Evan Karagias, Scott Hall vs. Sid Vicious, and "The Cat" Ernest Miller vs. Lash LeRoux.

The WCW Talking Arena is now available!

Vampiro beats Berlyn to continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament. During the match, members of rock group The Misfits show up and lie in wait from ringside, and when Berlyn runs into the referee during an Irish Whip, Berlyn's bodyguard gets involved only for The Misfits to stop him, allowing Vampiro to knock the bodyguard's lights out with a steel chair. Vampiro goes back into the ring and goes for a top rope drop kick, and as Berly ngains momentum in the match, The Misfits trip Berlyn and grab onto his legs, allowing Vampiro the win. After the match, Berlyn starts speaking in English for the first time and says "No more! Screw Berlyn! From now on, screw USA!"

Backstage, The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) discuss Nash not being able to accompany Nash to the ring tonight, and offers to be his promoter to give him a downside guarantee. Hall thinks Nash is high.

Meanwhile, Torrie Wilson is in a cage, thanks to The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn), and the shark cage is being carried around by a forklift.

The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn) shows up. Shane says that if the fans want a revolution, then they will change the world. He then tells The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman, Eddie Guerrero) get their knives out of their tires and make it to the building, they will have an offer for them that they cannot refuse. Saturn tells Eddie that he is not done with him yet, and he proposes putting the key to the shark cage on a pole and facing off in a Key on a Pole Match. If Eddie gets the key, Torrie is free; if he gets the key, he gets to scale her. Malenko tells "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit says he has his friendship "right here," and says Benoit has been too soft and nothing but a puss, and tonight, it is his ass that is going to be crippled. Benoit shows up, mentions that The Revoution seems to have developed a cage fetish, and tells them to look up where the steel cage is, and tells Malenko he will be locked up with him. Just like he extended his hand in friendship to him, he will find out what "silent but violent" is all about.

Kevin Nash gets a makeover from a make-up artist.

This week's Mayhem winner is Kyle Hudgins from Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman, Eddie Guerrero) make it into the building. When an arena security guard asks for passes, they beat him up.

Mike Tenay interviews Kimberly, who is surrounded by The Nitro Girls. Kimberly says that Diamond Dallas Page has suffered a chipped collar bone, a chipped sternum and chipped ribs, and has no idea when he will be able to come back to work. She says that The Nitro Girls are here in this interview because she has had a lot on her mind, and tells them they have had a lot of fun together and that they mean so much to her. However, it is time for her to leave the group, as she has more important business to take care of right now. Kimberly seems distressed as she walks away.

In the Mayhem Match of the Week, "The Ragin' Cajun" Lash LeRoux beats Ernest "The Cat" Miller (who is back early following an ACL injury and now surrounded by beautiful women and is no longer accompanied by Sonny Onoo) by submission to continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament.

Mike Tenay interviews Bret "The Hit Man" Hart. He says The Outsiders and Sid Vicious are the lowest scum on the earth, and that they willing to stoop to any low to get to the top. By the end of the night, someone is going to pay, and he tells Sid he doesn't get mad, he gets even, and he will get even before the night is over.

The Nitro Girls try to stick together, but it becomes evident that there is no clear leader and a tiff begins to form between tjem.

Backstage, The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman, Eddie Guerrero) are getting footage of Miss Elizabeth in the dressing room with The Total Package. They are talking about the tournament (and it becomes obvious that tha audio is ahead of the video by a few seconds). We then see the production crew at work.

We see "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko interview Scott Steiner, who has been out of action for months. Scott Steiner says that a year-and-a-half ago, he hurt his back and came back form it, but he had to have three screws in his shoulder and he had to wear a brace that made him lean to the left, which upset three ruptured discs. Ever since that shoulder surgery, he has been in severe pain. He tried to avoid surgery by any means possible, and had six epidurals which gave him headaches and nerve blocks and never worked as the pain kept coming back. Surgery ended up being his only option left. The doctors told him he should be fine after a dissectomy. Right now, he cannot do anything for the next three weeks and that all he can do is take it easy, try to walk and lie down a lot. After that, he will go to rehab, and eight to ten weeks later, he will see the doctors again and go from there. He hopes to come back to professional wrestling, but he does not feel great right now, and he can only go by what the doctor tells him and hope that he is right.

We see a performance by The Nitro Girls, which quickly turns into a catfight between Spice and AC Jazz.

Mike Tenay interviews Buff Bagwell, who says that he is sick and tired of being burned by the powers that be. He thought his ship had come in, but it is the bottom floor of the TitanTron. He refuses to sink, and as long as the powers that be line them up, he will knock them down.

A disguised Kevin Nash is on a cell phone, pretending to be a promoter.

AC Jazz and Whisper continue their fight backstage in front of the other Nitro Girls.

Before the next math, Stevie Ray - carrying a leather strap - tells Buff Bagwell not to celebrate too early, as the powers that be have informed him he is not the chosen one. He says this is just business, and tonight, they have a strap match. Buff wants to know if this is a surprise from the powers that be, but Stevie Ray says he has to do what he has to do.

Buff Bagwell beats Stevie Ray by disqualification to continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament after "Creative Control" - the two men in the suits - shows up and tries to attack Bagwell.

Mike Tenay interviews Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett tells Tenay not to get slappy with him, as he has the stroke and can have him flipping burgers at Burger King tomorrow morning. As far as Miss Elizabeth is concerned, he did not take her out with his guitar and does not appreciate The Total Package accusing him of hurting her. Tonight, he will get his public apology out of him, one way or another, as he has the corner on the booking market around her. If he does not apologize to him, he will put him on the first Lex Express right out of town.

Kevin Nash shows up in his promoter disguise. He thanks the fans for their warm and kind hospitality. Even though he is a promoter and the most powerful man in sports entertainment today, the fans can rest assured that everything he does, he does for the fans. He says it is true, and that he is a very knowledgeable man, hence why he is called "VKM." (Although he does not say the letters, he does motion the letters with his free hand, with "VKM" very obviously being a reference to WWF Chairman Vince McMahon.) He has single-handedly built sports entertainment, and asks not to be called an asshole, saying the fans are assholes. Unlike "Billionaire Ted," he did not buy his way to the top; instead, he borrowed money and stepped on everybody on his way to the top. Because of stock optons, he is now a billionaire, and he put everyone out of business until he was the only show in town. In any event, he stands in the room with a guarantee that that his cash cow - whom he will push as a babyface until the fans regurgitate him - is the roughest and toughest in WCW and will someday work the main event with Jeff Jarrett. He claims that this person is clean, sober and has more than one catchphrase. That man is Scott Hall. Hall shows up, and Nash nearly loses his wig. He says that he is not following this act, as the party polie in WCW have told him that he is out o fhere after one more strike and he is not going back to WWF. Since the promoter looks so much like Vine McMahon, he asks him who picks his clothes out. He then tells "all the boys up north" that he has their attitude "right here" as he gives a "down there"-style crotch chop.

Backstage, Miss Elizabeth and The Total Package encounter Meng, and The Total Package tells Meng that Jeff Jarrett has said negative things about how he has shattered the "island boy" myth and how it took so long for him to beat Madusa. The Total Package holds up a banana and says that Jarrett is even passing bananas out, and Meng takes it out of his hand and puts as much of it into his mouth as possible.

Mike Tenay interviews Curt Hennig. Hennig says then when he retires, it will be his decision and his decision alone. The powers that be may be trying to get rid of him, but he will save his job and win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

Curt Hennig's father, Larry "The Axe" Hennig, is seen in the front row for the next match.

Curt Hennig beats Disco Inferno by count-out to continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. During the match, Larry "The Axe" Hennig gets to punch Disco Inferno in the face. Later on in the match, a young man shows up and tells Disco Inferno that it is time for him to pay on his debts. Disco is counted out, and Hennig wins. (This is not the first appearance of this young man; he originally played the crazed fan of Lenny and Lodi's until their gimmick was dropped due to complaints by GLAAD.)

Mike Tenay interviews The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman, Eddie Guerrero). Eddie says someone forgot to tell The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn) that you do not steal from The Filthy Animals, and that they can take care of this themselves. He is tired of their games, and when he runs rings around Saturn, Torrie is coming back home. Konnan then issues an open challenge against himself and Kidman for the WCW World Tag Team Championships, and says there will be no hiding behind politics or bookers or any sabotage involved if anybody wants to accept the challenge.

Norman Smiley is seen coming out of the locker room in a baseball catcher's vest and mask.

Scott Hall meets with Kevin Nash, who is getting into his "Vince McMahon" ccharacter. Nash then looks into the camera, points at it and says "Get it?"

During the match, Norman Smiley has to be taken out of the math on a stretcher, but he gets a second wind and gets back in the ring right after Meng and The Barbarian are both knocked out off-screen. Norman Smiley pins The Barbarian and gets the win, then does the Big Wiggle on the commentary table.

Jeff Jarrett is seen backstage, telling The Total Package that it is time for his public apology.

"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan is seen in a suit with "Creative Control" behind him. He thanks the man on the other side of the for his time, and talks about what has happened to him in the past year while "Creative Control" laughs, and asks for another opportunity in the company. The man at the other side of the desk (who is Vince Russo) makes it known that he only cares about ratings, and that he will think about it.

The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) talk about Sid Vicious, with Nash saying that if Sid gets screwed, it is because Sid screwed Sd. Nash then winks at the camera and says "Get it?"

The Total Package and Miss Elizabeth talk with Meng, and tell him that Jeff Jarrett has an interview coming up and that he should check it out.

Jeff Jarrett shows up, and tells The Total Package to come out to the ring and publicly apologize to him like a man, as he did not put a finger on Miss Elizabeth and does not appreciate being accused of anything. He says that this is not the WWF, and that "we don't abuse women around here." The Total Package and Miss Elizabeth show up, and The Total Package tells Jarrett that as hard as it is to apologize, he admits that he does not know if Jarrett hit Elizabeth, and says he is sorry. He admits he has heard rumors in the back that it could be somebody else, and Jarrett says he is right as he has the stroke, he is the chosen one and that he does not get physical with women anymore. The Total Package says he is on Jarrett's side, and says he heard it could be Meng. Jarrett does not believe this, saying it took Meng a day-and-a-half to take down Madusa, and as he says what he would do to Madusa if he were in the ring with her, Meng runs out and goes straight for Jarrett. Jarrett tells him "Back up, slapnuts! You big wuss!" as he heads to the back. Luger then makes his way to the ring, as does Miss Elizabeth. Elizabeth calls Meng "a real man who comes to the aid of a woman" and tells The Total Package that he could learn a lesson from this. Elizabeth then sprays mace into Meng's eyes, and The Total Package whacks Meng with a tire iron.

The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman, Eddie Guerrero) are seen heading towards the ring backstage, as are The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn), who has Torrie Wilson with them.

The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) knock on Sid Vicious' dressing room door.

The Total Package talks to Sting about going for the WCW World Tag Team Championships, but Sting is not interested. The Total Package tells Sting he will get his World title back, but they cannot pass the tag team titles up. Sting says he is okay with having the match.

Perry Saturn is seen driving the forklift carrying the shark cage with Torrie Wilson inside to ringside before the next match.

The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) and Sid Vicious talk backstage. Nash tells Sid that all he has to do is trust him, but Sid, thinking that Nash is Vince McMahon, says that the last time he trusted Vince and Hall years ago, his career has been in the shitter. Nash has to show him that his hair is a wig, then Sid realizes that it is Nash he is telling at and they all have a good laugh.

Mike Tenay interviews The Total Package and Miss Elizabeth. The Total Package takes offense to Mike Tenay saying he is trying to mess with his potential opponents in the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament, says that the tag team titles are all he and Sting are focused on, and that he and Miss Elizabeth are out of here.

Sting and The Total Package beat The Filthy Animals (Konnan and Kidman) by disqualification. Early on in the match, The Total Package blows his knee out, and Sting is on his own. Rey Mysterio Jr. runs out, then The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey, Kidman, Eddie Guerrero) gang up on Sting and hit him with his bat while Miss Elizabeth checks on The Total Package. The Total Package then gets back in the ring afterwards, and Sting pushes him to the mat. The Filthy Animals (Konnan and Kidman) retain the WCW World Tag Team Championships.

The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) and Sid Vicious plan out their match in the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament, with Hall telling Sid to pin him as he has nothing left to prove in the business.

Jeff Jarrett beats Booker T to continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament. "Creative Control" are seen watching from the stage during the match. Near the end, they get in the ring and distract Booker T so that Jarrett can hit Booker T with his guitar to get the win.

We see Mike Tenay interview Goldberg on the set of Slam. Goldberg says it does not take a genius to figure out how pissed off he is, and the intensity in his eyes is nothing compared to the hell he will put The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) and Sid Vicious through. He cannot tell if Sid is either too brave or too stupid to figure out when to quit, and when he gets him in the ring again, he will make Halloween Havoc look like a PTA meeting and there will be no doctor alive who will be able to sew him back up. There was no suit or wrestler who would ask him what was going on, because they all knew he would rip their heads clean off. He says the one mistake that The Outsiders have made is that they left him laying, but he was still breathing, and he was able to get up and walk out. He says they will live to regret that decision, because as long as he can get up and walk away, they will need eyes in the back of their heads. He has never asked for help in the past, and he is not starting now. He does not care how many people he is facing at once, because at the end of the day, his mission is to get The Outsiders and Sid Vicious out of the business for good.

The Nitro Girls, now split into two different factions of three each, are about to go at it outside of the building when Kevin Nash - dressed as Vince McMahon - shows up and says that as much as he likes a good catfight, it should be saved for the pay-per-view. He then points at the camera and says "Get it?" before laughing again.

Mike Tenay interviews Evan Karagias. Karagias says he is excited to be in the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament, but he has never wrestled a woman before. He means no disrespect to Medusa, but there is something about her and hopes they can be friends, and may the best competitor win.

Mike Tenay interviews Madusa. Madusa says "the powers that be" seem to get a kick out of competing with men, and that she plans to take full advantage of the situation. He says they will learn that they should never underestimate a woman, especially her.

Madusa beats Evan Karagias by seducing him to continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

As "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko head to the ring, David Flair is seen entering the building with a crowbar in his hands.

"The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit beats Dean Malenko to continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament. During the match, The Revolution (Shane Douglas and Perry Saturn) and Asya show up, and Saturn climbs up the cage to toss a chain to Malenko. Benoit tosses Malenko into the steel cage wall that Saturn is climbing on and grabs the chain, then wallops Malenko with it. Benoit then climbs to the top of the cage, hits the diving headbutt and pins Malenko. After the match, Perry Saturn climbs to the top of the cage and hits Benoit with a diving elbow, then Shane Douglas and Asya get in the ring. Shane, who has a plastic cast on his left arm, attacks Benoit along with Asya, and Saturn, Shane and Asya then handcuff Benoit's right leg to the bottom rope before cuffing his wrists to the top one. Benoit easily falls victim to the numbers game, but The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman, Eddie Guerrero) run in to fight The Revolution. The Filthy Animals get the upper hand, but David Flair suddenly shows up and hits The Filthy Animals with a crowbar while The Revolution escapes. David Flair is about to attack Benoit, but he frees Benoit from the handcuffs as Sting shows up and attacks Konnan as the latter makes his way to the back.

Backstage, David Flair heads to the parking lot only to get hit by a car. David Flair is out cold, and out of the driver's seat comes Kimberly, who takes the crowbar - which is now lying on the hood of the car - and circles Flair to see if he is conscious. She then lays the crowbar next to David and drives off.

Scott Hall calls for medical help in his dressing room, as Kevin Nash is now flat on his back.

Scott Hall beats Sid Vicious to continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament. At the beginning of the match, Sid pushes Hall down with one finger, but when he goes for the pin, Hall reverses it into an inside cradle. Later on in the match, Hall smacks referee Johnny Boone as Sid gets him up for a choke slam. He is about to powerbomb Hall when Bret "The Hit Man" Hart shows up and smacks one of his crutches into Sid's back. As the referee is getting back up, Bret tries to do the same to Hall, who runs away from Bret and moves to the other side of the ring to pin Sid. After the match, Scott Hall runs away with the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship after flipping Bret off to end the show.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for February 1, 1999

The show starts with footage from earlier today where Curt Hennig and Barry Windham, who are in the tag team tournament, enter the arena. Hennig talks about his plans to take the tag titles so he can get one step closer to The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) in revenge for the beatdown that the nWo gave him last week.

We see footage from earlier today of The Nitro Girls rehearsing their dance numbers when Scott Steiner shows up and tries to put her hands on Kimberly. As Kimberly forces herself off Steiner, she trips over AC Jazz and is knocked unconscious.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Konnan and Rey Mysterio Jr. Rey says that Lex Luger has a potential issue with him, trying to take his Latino World Order shirt from him and later his mask with the help of Kevin Nash. He watched Luger and Nash as a kid and has much love and respect even when he was breaking into WCW, but they made a big mistake when they gave all their knowledge to Konnan, and if has to get his respect by taking Luger down, he will do it. Konnan knows that Luger and Nash attacked Rey to get back at him, and he and Rey plan to make Nash and Luger bow down. Rey challenges Luger and Nash to a Lucha de Apuestas match where masks, hair, or careers can be put on the line. Konnan feels sorry for Nash and Luger now, because they used to be stand-up guys, but now "they have to sit down in the bathroom to take aim."

The black-and-white nWo are at the airport, and all the rental cars have been taken. Stevie Ray suddenly gets everyone hooked up with a limousine. Vincent fails to get a ride at the limo for repeatedly dropping the ball for the nWo black-and-white, and he ends up calling Kevin Nash for a ride. Nash shows up very quickly, and Vincent ends up getting a ride in his limo.

We see a performance by The Nitro Girls. Kimberly is not there due to what happened earlier today.

WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair puts Eric Bischoff in a nearby dunk tank, and every employee he has slighted will be throwing balls at the target to dunk him in.

The team of Curt Hennig and Barry Windham beat The Four Horsemen ("The Crippler" Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko). Hennig and Windham stay in the winner's bracket, while Benoit and Malenko are in the loser's bracket. During the match, suspended referee Scott Dickinson is seen in the front row.

WCW Executive Committee Chairman J.J. Dillon and numerous WCW wrestlers are seen dunking Eric Bischoff in the dunk tank.

Stevie Ray complains to Kevin Nash about Vincent not having anything ready, but both the black-and-white and black-and-red sides get along after Scott Norton says "Why can't we be friends?"

The black-and-white nWo head to their locker room and come across some female companionship.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. Flair talks about how Eric Bischoff used to be a little abusive towards WCW employees, and says he will be wet all night long as a line of employees a mile long are dunking him in a dunk tank outside of the arena. He then makes it clear to Hollywood Hogan that the internal mechanism of the nWo is falling apart, as everyone is starting to fall by the wayside and doing their own thing while WCW is stronger than ever. Even though Hogan has failed to make it to the arena in person, he would not miss the opportunity to hear that at SuperBrawl IX, he will be wrestling again and will be wrestling him as past legends have made him ready to become a world champion and tie him into a knot. That night, Flair will do or he will die. As for Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, he will be defending the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship against "The Crippler" Chris Benoit at SuperBrawl IX whether he likes it or not, and that Benoit will be taking the United States title back for WCW. Suddenly, Scott Hall shows up with Disco Inferno, and Hall says that while Flair may be president of WCW, everyone here came to see the nWo, and while he may be able to boss Bischoff around, he doesn't tell him what to do. Hall wants to know why Benoit is #1 contender, when he is the one who took the World title off Goldberg and beat Bam Bam Bigelow. Flair calls him "one-half of a fantasy world called 'Hall and Nash,' and that he does not see one person saying "Hey, yo." Hall tells Flair he is putting his money behind a loser, and says he could prove why he is #1 contender material, but Benoit does not have the guts to come out here. Benoit shows up, and Flair tells Hall to leave before he breaks the toothpick out of his mouth. Benoit gets in the ring and tells Hall they'll find out how much guts he has when he introduces his foot to his brown eye. Hall throws a toothpick at Benoit, and Benoit slaps hall before Flair beats up Disco Inferno. Flair then tells Hall that if he wants a match with Benoit, he's got it tonight.

Van Hammer beats Kenny Kaos. During the match, it is announced that All Japan Pro Wrestling Shohei Baba aka Giant Baba has passed away last night in Tokyo, Japan at the age of 61. Also during the match, suspended referee Scott Dickinson is seen in the front row again, and he quickly leaves. Shortly after this, The Sandman shows up wrapped in barbed wire while carrying a Singapore cane, and attacks Van Hammer after he wins, and says it ticks him off when someone comes out to the ring in WCW and tries to take credit for his work. He says he was the first man to replace the ropes with barbed wire, the first man to wrap barbed wire around a baseball bat and crush someone's head with it, and the first man to wrap himself in barbed wire and leap onto somebody. If Bam Bam Bigelow thinks he is hardcore, then he is the king of extreme. He has seen what Bigelow has been doing as of late, and says he will not leave until Bigelow gets out here.

After the commercial break, Bam Bam Bigelow shows up and answers The Sandman's challenge.

Bam Bam Bigelow beats The Sandman in an impromptu hardcore match after sending Sandman into barbed wire that the Sandman has set up in the corner before hitting him with Greetings From Asbury Park on a steel chair.

At the dunk tank outside of the arena, one of the cameraman tries his luck at dunking Eric Bischoff.

Miss Elizabeth thanks Lex Luger and Kevin Nash for re-uniting the New World Order into one unit. Luger says he is elated to be on board, and tells Elizabeth it took a woman's touch to keep the WCW World Heavyweight Championship off Goldberg. They then proceed to make fun of Goldberg's weaknesses as he brags about how the nWo attacked Goldberg a month ago.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

Suspended referee Scott Dickinson is seen dunking Eric Bischoff at the dunk tank.

Kidman is seen talking to Diamond Dallas Page about what happened to Kimberly backstage. DDP storms into the nWo locker room and demands where Scott Steiner is, and tells them that they had better pray to God that Kimberly is all right. Scott Steiner comes out of a nearby door after Page leaves, and says that he never touched Kimberly and that she slipped. He does say, however, that he may be looking for these. We then see what looks like a Nitro Girls outfit in his hands before a woman's hand comes out of the door and takes them. Scott Steiner then says "I'd like to stick around, but I'll be back" and follows him in the room, which is implied to be a shower. Kevin Nash tells Vincent to send a message to DDP that Scott Steiner has no problem with whatever he wants, and to slap DDP in the mouth, saying that it will be the cue for the nWo to help him. Vincent then leaves the room and tells Disco Inferno to do his dirty work. DDP is then seen getting in the ring, calling out Scott Steiner. DDP gets Disco Inferno instead, and tells him that Scott Steiner will accept his challenge for SuperBrawl IX. He slaps him, but the nWo do not show up as Vincent promised and Disco Inferno immediately eats a Diamond Cutter before having his nWo black-and-red shirt ripped off. When Vincent comes back to the locker room, he is commended for "getting smart." DDP is then seen leaving the arena.

Booker T talks about his torn ACL from last year and how he took three-and-a-half months off and how he must re-focus after last week's match against Bret "The Hit Man" Hart. At SuperBrawl IX, he has a match with Disco Inferno, and that he will raise the roof that night.

Before the next match, Scott Steiner tells Diamond Dallas Page that the last time they fought, there was the stipulation that if he won, he would show Kimberly what it is like to be with a real man, but that DDP suddenly has a problem with it. He then says that Kimberly liked that stipulation, as she is in the back asking him why all the women say there is nothing finer than Scott Steiner. He tells DDP to step aside and let nature take its course, and let his body rock his wife's body until she says who her daddy is, as he will fulfill all her fantasies in one night.

Before the next match, Chris Jericho sends Ralphus to the back.

Scott Steiner retains the WCW World Television Championship against Chris Jericho. During the match, Chris Jericho tries to retreat, but Saturn catches up with him and hits him before throwing him back into the ring, where Scott Steiner makes Jericho tap to the Steiner Recliner.

Kevin Nash, Lex Luger and Miss Elizabeth show up. Luger admits he had to chuckle a little bit when Konnan and Rey Mysterio Jr. challenged him and Nash. Nash cannot believe they have the nerve to add stipulations to the match, such as putting Rey's mask on the line against their hair. Nash says they will accept the match on the pretense that if he or Lex is pinned, Miss Elizabeth will lose her hair. Miss Elizabeth is shocked, but Luger says they have this under control. Nash then officially accepts the match for Rey's mask vs. Miss Elizabeth's hair for SuperBrawl IX.

Before the next match, Ernest "The Cat" Miller and Sonny Onoo threaten ring announcer David Penzer, who announces that Miller would like to be refereed from this point forward as "The Greatest Of All Time." Miller then demands an opponent. We then see the nWo in their locker room, telling Scott Norton that The Cat has called him out, even though he has never specifically done so, and send Scott Norton after The Cat. Norton eventually makes it into the ring, and The Cat says he was not calling him out to the ring. He admits that Norton is big and tough, but so is he, and if he wants to go at it with him, he will tear him up.

Scott Norton beats Ernest "The Cat" Miller, even when Miller tosses Sonny Onoo into Norton as a diversionary tactic.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Goldberg. He says what is in the past is in the past, and that he has forgotten about it. He then tells Bam Bam Bigelow to look into his eyes and see if he sees a little hint of fear, as he will never find it. Bam Bam Bigelow may talk the talk, but he walks the walk. He says that Bigelow calls himself "extreme" and The Beast From The East, but as far as he is concerned, the only thing Bigelow is is next.

WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and Dean Malenko take turns dunking Eric Bischoff in the dunk tank. Bischoff insists that he will have the last laugh tonight.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart replaces Mike Tenay on commentary for the next match. (Before the match, ring announcer Michael Buffer accidentally calls him Bret "The Hit Man" Clark.)

Scott Hall beats "The Crippler" Chris Benoit to face Bret "The Hit Man" Hart for the WCW United States Championship at SuperBrawl IX. During the match, Disco Inferno tries to get involved by dragging Benoit out of the ring, but Steve "Mongo" McMichael shows up and attacks Disco before ripping his Wolfpac shirt off, beating him up and taking him to the back. Mongo then sends Disco into a locker room, where "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson lies in wait with a tire iron. Also, Kevin Nash gets involved, but this serves as a distraction so that Hall can put Benoit in the Outsider's Edge after Benoit knocks Nash off the apron.

We see Hollywood Hogan with Chuck Zito in the limousine again. It is then revealed that Hogan and Zito are in Charlotte, North Carolina to attack David Flair. "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and Dean Malenko are seeing this unfold on a television screen, as does Arn Anderson. The camera is shut off on Hogan's end before the attack takes place, and the show ends.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for January 18, 1999

In footage from earlier tonight, The Four Horseman ("The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, Steve "Mongo" McMichael, Dean Malenko) are seen discussing the events of last night. Flair says that when Hollywood Hogan shows up tonight, he is a dead man. The New World Order arrives to the arena in a limousine, and The Four Horsemen immediately go on the attack, and the limo containing the nWo drives away. Flair then makes his way to the ring, followed by "Mean" Gene Okerlund and a police escort. Okerlund interviews Flair, who tells Hogan that as the president of World Championship Wrestling, he told him last week that he would not drift off into the sunset and make a movie, or walk the world a free man doing what he chose to do, and that he works for him and for WCW. At SuperBrawl IX, Hogan will wrestle him for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, and that in five weeks, after what he did to David Flair, he will not only have to beat him, but to kill him to keep Flair from killing him. Flair says he doesn't want to be just a 14-time World champ, but to also be the man who killed Hogan. Flair also tells Eric Bischoff to get his head out of the toilet and to come to the ring right now. Bischoff shows up, and says that he has nothing to do with what happened last night as he was not even in the building. Flair tells Bischoff that tonight, he will be wrestling him again. Bischoff says that there is nothing in his contract that tells him to wrestle anybody, and that he wrestles anybody when he wants to. Flair then tells Bischoff that if he beats him tonight, he will shave his head and have Bischoff do it for him. Bischoff rejects the challenge. Flair throws in the company as well, telling Bischoff that if he beats him, he will be able to run WCW again and he will go away forever. Before Bischoff can answer, David Flair shows up, shoves Bischoff to the side, and gets in the ring. Dvid tells Bischoff he knows he set last night's attack up, and says he will fight him, not Ric. Bischoff loves the idea, and accepts the match. Flair then tells Bischoff that if David wins, Bischoff gets his head shaved. Nevertheless, Bischoff tells Flair that he has his match.

We see a performance by The Nitro Girls.

Booker T beats Chris Jericho.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews WCW Executive Committee Chairman J.J. Dillon. He says he has been watching the actions of referee Scott Dickinson, and announces that he has been suspended for 30 days before asking Dickinson to sit home and give some serious thought to his responsibilities as a WCW official. He also says he wants to see Scott Hall, Bam Bam Bigelow and Goldberg in a Triangle Match after what has happened between the three men as of late, then announces that David Flair vs. Eric Bischoff is official for tonight. He then says that his father, who is currently in the hospital, is a big fan of Nitro, and that he would be on a fast road to recovery if he saw David Flair win tonight.

Bruise Cruise 1999 from Nassau, The Bahamas to Miami, Florida happens May 17th to May 21th! Make your reservations now!

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Rey Mysterio Jr. Rey says he stayed in the Latino World Order as he felt it was not time for him, and that red, white and green are his colors. He says that his mask represents everything in his career, and it will never be taken off and will always be a part of his life. As for Lex Luger, he does not know what he has against him, but he will not be intimidated by him, Kevin Nash or anyone big enough who wants to face him. If Luger does have something against him, he dares him to bring it on.

David Flair beats Eric Bischoff after hitting him with a right hand to the face, knocking Bischoff out. After the match, David reveals that he had a roll of quarters in his hand. The Four Horsemen ("The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, Steve "Mongo" McMichael, Dean Malenko) show up, celebrate with David and cut Bischoff's hair (and it is revealed that Bischoff dies it black on the surface). Before the cutting of the hair, Mongo takes two of the quarters and places them on Bischoff's eyelids. As per pre-match stipulations, not only does Bischoff get his hair shaved, but Ric Flair stays in control of the company. When Bischoff comes to, he is aghast that his hair has been cut. When the replay is shown, it is revealed that referee Randy Anderson slipped the roll of quarters to David Flair.

Backstage, Chris Jericho asks WCW Executive Committee Chairman J.J. Dillon to force Saturn to wear a dress, presenting a written contract and a dress thrown in the trash. Saturn shows up, and J.J. Dillon sadly and reluctantly has to enforce the contract.

Konnan shows up. He calls Kevin Nash and Lex Luger "punk mark busters" for being in cahoots with Hollywood Hogan and Eric Bischoff, having never squashed the black-and-white when they had a chance. He thanks Luger and Nash for giving him a chance and letting him be himself, but says the nWo will have to pay, as when they attacked him, they attacked the fans, and eventually, he will catch up to them and they will have to toss his salad and peel his potatoes. He then tells Nash that if he isn't the lead wolf, the view never changes.

Mike Enos and Bobby Duncum, Jr. vs. The Faces of Fear (Meng and The Barbarian) in the WCW World Tag Team Championship Tournament ends in a no-contest. During the match, The New World Order returns to the arena, and Hollywood Hogan is made aware of Eric Bischoff's recent haircut as the nWo make their way to the ring and beat up all four men in the ring. Meng ends up being shocked with a stun gun by Scott Hall before Bischoff makes his way to the ring. Kevin Nash says there would be no tag team tournament as promised. Hogan says he had hoped that the WCW fans would realize that this is Armageddon for WCW, as what happened to Bischoff put it over the top, and after what happened last night with David Flair, the nWo had decided that the whole pack is on the hunt. Hogan tells "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair that he accepts his challenge for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, and in five weeks, the nWo will make WCW and Flair's life a living hell, for when Flair did what he did to Bischoff, it is like stripping the colors off the Hell's Angels, and someone is going to die. Now that the pack has tasted the Flair family's blood, it is his job to put the silver stake in Flair's heart.

We see a video package for Scott Hall vs. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Goldberg.

Before the next match, Disco Inferno shows up wearing an nWo shirt.

Disco Inferno beats Wrath. During the match, Scott Hall shows up, and eventually gets the attention of Wrath. Near the end, Scott Hall tries to hit Wrath with his stun stick, and Wrath kicks him out of the ring. Disco hits Wrath with the Chart Buster as soon as he turns around, and gets the win. After the match, he is congratulated by Scott Hall.

We see a performance by The Nitro Girls...which is interrupted by Scott Steiner, who wants them to stop dancing as he is looking for a little romancing. Scott Steiner asks all the Nitro Girls if any of them want to be with a real man, especially Kimberly, and tells Kimberly he's seen her man - Diamond Dallas Page - and that he has beaten him like a dog. He then wants to know if there are any freaks out there in the crowd who have never been with a man like him, because after the show, he is ready to go.

Before the next match, Scott Steiner says he is looking for a "freak of the week." He and Buff Bagwell then make fun of Saturn, who doesn't look as good as he does, even in a dress. He calls Saturn out, telling he will show him what it is like to wrestle a real man. Saturn shows up, and Scott Steiner says only steers and queers from Texas, and immediately questions Saturn's manhood. This earns Scott Steiner - and Buff Bagwell - a punch in the face, starting the match.

Scott Steiner beats Saturn with the Steiner Recliner after Buff Bagwell gets on the apron and pulls Steiner out of the Death Valley Driver.

We see a performance by The Nitro Girls, and this time they are not interrupted.

Kevin Nash, Lex Luger and Miss Elizabeth show up. Nash mocks Konnan's intro, and says if it wasn't for him and Luger, Konnan would still be a curtain jerker, and Konnan knows it. The only problem they have with Konnan is that they feel he has no heart, endurance, or soul. He tells Konnan he can talk about salads and potatoes, but it's all about the Benjamin, and asks Konnan how his view was before patting his butt. Luger asks if Elizabeth was a gorgeous sight to behold, and Nash says that Elizabeth "painted a pretty picture." Luger then focuses on Rey Mysterio Jr., whom he says is no bigger than his leg. Luger has heard what Rey has said about his mask, and says that he will not only beat his brains out tonight, but also take his mouth off and expose what he really looks like. He asks Rey to take his mask off and hand it over backstage - and not to be stupid like Konnan was - and they can call the match of. Otherwise, he will beat him down and rip his mask off.

A delusional Scott Steiner continues to harass Kimberly and The Nitro Girls, especially Kimberly. WCW security has to escort Scott Steiner, who tells them that all the Nitro Girls want his body, out of the room.
