Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for October 25, 1999

Sting, without his usual facepaint and dressed in a white T-shirt and blue jeans, is backstage looking for WCW Executive Committee Chairman J.J. Dillon, and throwing things around as he does.

Sting shows up, still in the white T-shirt and blue jeans. He says that his message is for WCW Executive Committee Chairman J.J. Dillon, as he has heard things in the back that he does not like and that Dillon will not like, either. He only agreed to a fight, and nothing more, and demands Dillon make his way to the ring before he comes back to the back after him. Dillon shows up, and Sting says that he faced Goldberg to bail WCW out of a bad situation after his match with Hulk Hogan. However, he never said anything about the WCW World Heavyweight Championship being on the line. He demands that the WCW World Heavyweight Championship be returned back to him. Dillon tells Sting he is absolutely right, and that the match was not sanctioned. Goldberg is not the World Heavyweight Champion, but neither is Sting, as Sting has been stripped of the title after attacking referee Charles Robinson last night as per the WCW Championship Committee. Dillon also announces a 32-man tournament to decide the new WCW World Heavyweight Champion, and that Sting is one of the 32 men. Dillon tells Sting he is only the messenger, and Sting asks him to send the committee a message by attacking him and putting him in the Scorpion Death Lock. Goldberg runs in and pushes Sting off of Dillon before both he and Sting brawl. Security eventually runs into the ring to separate both men.

Eight of the matches in the 32 man tournament are announced and are as follows: Bret "The Hit Man" Hart vs. Goldberg, Perry Saturn vs. Eddie Guerrero, Norman Smiley vs. Bam Bam Bigelow, and Kidman vs. Konnan. These four matches are part of what is called "Group 1." There is also a "Group 2" with The Total Package vs. Rick Steiner, Diamond Dallas Page vs. David Flair, a mystery opponent vs. Madusa, and Brian Knobbs vs. Sting.

It is announced that The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) are wrestling tonight, and we see footage from earlier today where The Outsiders do not have their wrestling gear with them do not care if they are wrestling tonight when told such by a production assistant as the pull a cooler full of bear out of their vehicle.

WCW Grip 'n Flip Wrestlers and WCW Electronic Thumb Wrestling are now available!

Reba Call of Leesville, Louisiana is this week's Mayhem winner.

Mike Tenay interviews Norman Smiley, who says that last week's match was amusing to him, but tonight's match is his chance to show he is a scientific, technical wrestler. Bam Bam Bigelow may be tough, but he is tougher than a two-dollar steak, and Bam Bam Bigelow will fall just like all the rest to the Big Wiggle, as he is the toughest wrestler in WCW.

Before the next match, Bam Bam Bigelow brings in a cart full of weapons, and Bigelow says that since Normal Smiley says he is a scientific, technical wrestle, he has decided to scientifically challenge him to a Hardcore Match.

In the Mayhem Match of the Week, Norman Smiley beats Bam Bam Bigelow in a hardcore match to continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament after accidentally running into Bigelow and landing on his crotch while an aluminum trash can is still on his head.

Mike Tenay interviews The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall). Kevin Nash insists he is retired, and Scott Hall says that he and Nash are waiting until the top of the hour to respond and that while he has a ton of bosses, Mike Graham is not one of them.

The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman, Eddie Guerrero, Torrie Wilson) show up. Eddie takes the microphone and says that no matter how many times they are booked against each other, they will never beak up as they are family, and they are lewd, loud and The Filthy Animals. At Halloween Havoc, they came, they saw and they kicked "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair's ass. Kidman says if you do not believe them, all they have to do is watch the Kid Cam footage. We see footage of The Filthy Animals taking Flair out to thhe middle of the desert and kick dirt all over him after they drove the ambulance out of the arena. Konnan throws some watter at him from a water bottle, then they leave him on the ground. Kidman then says that Ric Flair will not be coming back, and Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) are next and that they will learn just how bad The Filthy Animals are, as they have no remose or respect and they don't care. Rey Mysterio Jr. takes the microphone before Kidman can say a cuss word, and asks for a chance for The Filthy Animals, because when given the opportunity, they will hump the opposition like the dogs they are. Konnan says that when The Filthy Animals are in heat, somebody is fresh meat. Suddenly, Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn show up with metal objects and attack THe Filthy Animals while Torrie Wilson slowly back her way towards the stage. All of a sudden, she backs into Shane Douglas and Asya, the latter of whom has not been seen in months. Asya grabs Torrie Wilson from behind and carries her to the back while Shane Douglas follows.

Mike Tenay interviews Curt Hennig. Hennig says the powers that be are phasing out the older guys in favor of younger talent, and that he has been "put on the bubble" and has been told that if he gets pinned again, he will be fired. Hennig states he will hang the wrestling boots up on his own terms. All he needs to get on top is a reason, and now he has one.

The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) have some coffee as they talk about their match. Nash says that the censors had better have their fingers on the button when they make their way into the ring. Scott Hall complains that the coffee does not taste nearly as good as the beer in their cooler.

Lash LaRoux beats Curt Henning by disqualification after Hennig punches referee Mickey Jay as Lash LaRoux lifts Hennig on his shoulders. Disco Inferno guests on commentary during the match and compliments Lash LaRoux on giving him a better fight than he expected. After the match, Hennig attacks LaRoux with a steel chair, and when Disco checks on LaRoux, he gets smacked with it as well.

The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman, Eddie Guerrero) are running backstage after Shane Douglas and Asya with metal pipes in their hands.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart is seen hobbling his way into the building, while Goldberg gets ready for his match with Bret in the locker room.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund is in the ring with The Nitro Girls. We are introduced to Lauren and Danielle, the finalists from Phoenix, Arizona, who are already on the stage. Votes can pick who moves on at WCW.com. All of a sudden, Jeff Jarrett shows up with a guitar in his hand, and tells everyone to get out of the ring and grabs the microphone, threatening to "stroke" everyone if they do not get out. Jarrett says that the tournament for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship is not coincidental and that it is all a big plan, as he is the next WCW World Heavyweight Champion. He tells the fans they can bet all their stock options on that one, as he is the chosen one and there is not a damn thing anyone can do about it, including Buff Bagwell and The Total Pacakage. He says that The Total Package had better be ready to apologize, as he did not take out Miss Elizabeth and does not like being acces of anything. If The Total Package has a problem with him, then he should take it up with the new powers that be.

We see Mike Tenay interview Sid Vicious after Halloween Havoc. Sid says his match with Goldberg was a battle, but the war is far from over, and he promises that when Goldberg least expects it, he will be back.

Before the next match, Perry Saturn tells The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman) that if they lay a hand on him, they can kiss Torrie Wilson goodbye. He wants his match to be just him and Eddie. Eddie attacks Saturn from behind to start their match.

Perry Saturn beats Eddie Guerrero with the Rings of Saturn to continue to the nest round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament after David Flair shows up and whacks Eddie with a crowbar. After the match, Saturn flees through the crowd and the rest of The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman) return and chase after him.

Backstage, Kevin Nash tells Scott Hall he has a plan that he calls "the Jim Morrison plan." If they shut the show down, there will be no match, and he will get naked if he has to.

WCW Tuff Talkin' Wrestlers are now available.

Backstage, Shane Douglas tells Torrie Wilson that if The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman, Eddie Guerrero) think they can mess with The Revolution (Douglas, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko), they have another thing coming as they are messing with the wrong people. Malenko heads to the bathroom and is immediately attacked with a steel chair by "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit. Benotit locks the door from the outside so that The Revolution can't get involved as he continues to attack Malenko.

The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) show up. Scott Hall says "the new bosses we got from up north" cannot seem to have a wrestling show without them, and even though they have been partying all night in Las Vegas, they don't miss any parties, especially in Kevin Nash's hometown of Phoenix, Arizona. He then says Nash has a message for all the big shots at TNT. Nash says that nobody tells The Outsiders what to do, and that they have made the rules since they walked into WCW. Before he can go any further, Goldberg shows up in the crowd and says that if The Outsiders want to screw with him and jump him when his back is turned, then he hopes they have eyes in the back of their heads as they are both next.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage and Gorgeous George show up for the first time in months dressed in all-red sequined outfits. Savage says it has been a while, but he and Gorgeous George are in the house. As for all the vultures in the back who hoped he would hang hinmself on national television and make a fool of himself, that is not happening. However, they are right about one thing: he is well-hung. He tells the locker room not to hunt what they cannot kill as they cannot kill him or the madness. He says he cannot be punked out like Hulk Hogan or "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and that he "ain't no punk bitch." He says the yellow and the red has played itself out, and so has Space Mountain, but everybody knows he has game, he is on hit and he is definitely legit. Saage says he has been better than the best for a long period of time, and he has too much money to be punked out. He has won world titles in both WWF and WCW, and tonight is the time that he passes the torch to the next superstar who will go through the millennium and be better than even he was. That person is not only going to win world titles, but have record-breaking ratings. He says WCW needs him, not the other way around, and he and Gorgeous George are leaving the building.

The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr. Kidman, Eddie Guerrero) find where Torrie Wilson is held, but she and The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko) are nowhere to be found.

Medusa is seen backstage saying "I'm sick of this crap" before heading out to the ring.

In a dressing room Shane Douglas and Perry Saturn try to calm Dean Malenko dwon. Doulgas says Benoit will pay and that tonight is the night for Benoit, but Malenko feels differently.

Madusa finds out that her opponent is Meng.

Meng beats Madusa by pinfall with the Tongan Death Grip to continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship despite Madusa's best efforts. After the match, Evan Karagias runs in and checks on Madusa, then helps her up and helps her to the back. Suddenly, Dean Malenko shows up with a microphone and calls out "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit, saying that if he thinks he has his attention and wants to even the score from last night, then he is ready. He makes it a little more interesting by challenging Benoit to a Last Man Standing Match, and hopes he accepts.

Backstage, The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) talk about Goldberg, saying they are not afraid of him, and say that whoever they send against them are going to get licked.

Curt Hennig is seen talking to Brad Armstrong in the locker room, and Armstrong tells him he has been told not to come back until he has found a personality.

Backstage, a member of WCW medical checks on Bret "The Hit Man" Hart's foot, which is indeed injured.

The Total Package beats Rick Steiner by count-out to continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament. Shortly after the match begins, Jeff Jarrett shows up with a guitar in his hand and guests on commentary for the next match, demanding a total apology from The Total Package, saying he has no reason to hit a woman. Tony Schiavone asks Jarrett if he thinks he ell off the turnip truck and mentioned his misogynist gimmick from the WWF. Jarrett responds by saying this is not the WWF, and proceeds to try to apologize to Miss Elizabeth. Both Rick Steiner and The Total Package approach Jarrett, and Jarrett swings his guitar trying to hit The Total Package only for Jarrett to nail Rick Steiner with the guitar. Rick Steiner heads to the back while The Total Package checks on Miss Elizabeth. When he realizes that the ten-count is almost over, he runs into the ring to get the win by count-out, much to the irritation of Miss Elizabeth.

Mike Tenay interviews Kidman and Konnan. Konnan takes the microphone and says he is no mood to talk about anything else after what happened to Torrie Wilson. He then goes to say that it is strictly business between him and Kidman tonight. Kidman tells Tenay that if The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko) touches one hair on the head of Torrie Wilson, he will personally end all of their careers.

Buff Bagwell is seen making his way into the building.

"The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit is seen taping his fists up for his Last Man Standing Match with Dean Malenko in the locker room.

Kidman beats Konnan to continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament. During the match, Kidman runs into referee Billy Silverman, then Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) run in and beat both Kidman and Konnan up. Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio Jr. run in as Harlem Heat try to leave, and they brawl with Harlem Heat. Kidman rolls over to Konnan and pins him. After the match, Kidman and Konnan have to be separated by Rey and Eddie, and Eddie has to tell them that the fight is out there, not within The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey, Kidman, Eddie). Konnan gets his priorities straight and tells Kidman that they have to find Torrie and tells Harlem Heat that they have to be crazy to run up on them. He dares Harlem Heat to put the WCW World Tag Team Championshpis on the line tonight.

Buff Bagwell is seen heading towards the ring.

Backstage, The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) try to ponder who they will be up against in their match tonight.

Buff Bagwell shows up. He says the reason he is here tonight is to break all the rules. Buff says he will take every little thing that has been sacred in the business and relieve himself all over it, and that he will not do a "job" for anybody ever again. Buff says he lays down for anyone, and if you mess with Buff, you get the stuff. Nobody is telling him what to do ever again, especially "the two idiots in the back writing this crap." ALl of a sudden, two bald men in black suits wearing sunglasses show up, and they are more or less identical twins. They say they represent "the two idiots in the back writing this crap," then proceed to assault Buff.

"The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit barely beats Dean Malenko in a Last Man Standing Match. After the match, The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman, Eddie Guerrero) run into the ring, and Benoit steps out of their way so they can attack Malenko. Shane Douglas shows up with Perry Saturn, Torrie Wilson and Asya, asking The Filthy Animals if they are looking for somebody, then they had better take stand their ground and not take another step. Douglas tells them to take a step back and lay off Malenko or else Asya will take Torrie out. Malenko is allowed to head back to the stage where The Revolution (Douglas, Malenko, Saturn) is, and Douglas tells them to stay where they are if they want Torrie back. The Filthy Animals start to chase after them, but Douglas tells them to stay there. Neverthleess, they cahse after them anyway.

The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn) and Asya escape with Torrie Wilson in a Cadillac. The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman, Eddie Guerrero) try to chase after them, but they are too fast. Eddie tells Kidman and Konnan to get the WCW World Tag Team Championships from Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) while he and Rey get Torrie back. Rey and Eddie get in a Cadillac of their own and chase after The Revolution.

Sting beats Brian Knobbs in mere seconds by hitting him with his baseball bat behind referee Nick Patrick's back to continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. During the short match, it is announced that Sting has been fined $10,000 for his attack on referee Charles Robinson at Halloween Havoc.

Mike Tenay interviews Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, who has a hairline fracture on his ankle. Bret says if it were not for bad luck, he would not have luck at all, and while he is frustrated with his injury, he is not a quitter, and even though he has a small ray of hope, he will take any chance he gets to become WCW World Heavyweight Champion, even if he has to face Goldberg and suffer the consequences for it tonight. He plans to give Goldberg a fight he will never forget, and hope that he can get from one match to the next to become World champion like he has always wanted.

The Filthy Animals (Konnan and Kidman) beat Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) to become the WCW World Tag Team Championships just 24 hours after Konnan and Rey Mysterio Jr. lost the belts to them, ending Harlem Heat's record-setting tenth tag title reign after one day. This happens after Kidman and Stevie Ray have their shoulders down and Kidman bridged his shoulders up at the last second.

Mike Tenay interviews Goldberg. Goldberg says rage and brutality has always been inside him, but it took a man like Sid Vicious to bring it out. As far as Bret "The Hit Man" Hart goes, he has all the respect in the world for him, but he does not fear him. He knows he is going into their match at less than 100%, but in his eyes, that makes him a little more dangerous. As for The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) he doesn't make threats, he makes promises, and they are next.

Kimberly introduces Diamond Dallas Page before the next match. DDP then tells David Flair to get his "rat bastard booty" out to the ring so he can beat him like he did "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. When David Flair shows up, DDP kisses him, then David takes off his robe and pulls out a crowbar from behind his pants and attacks DDP, knocking him into Kimberly who in turn knocks down referee Charles Robinson. After a few more strikes with the crowbar, David Flair leaves. EMTs have to come to the ring and put DDP on a stretcher and take him to the back. Neither DDP or David Flair continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament.

The Outsiders (Scott Hall and Kevin Nash) are in the ring with two female wrestlers. The match ends up being a complete farce, with one of the women shoving Hall's face in her breasts and spanking him before tagging the other woman in. The other woman is not even dressed for a wrestling match, and Hall tags Nash in before a third woman with giant breasts shows up and tells him to lay down so that the two women can make the pin. Kevin lays down in the middle of the ring, as does Hall, and the women win. The woman with the huge bust teases exposing her breasts, but Goldberg runs in to the ring before that can happen and he hits Hall with a Spear before doing the same to Nash.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart beats Goldberg to continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament and become the WCW United States Heavyweight Champion for the fourth time. During the match, Goldberg sends Bret into referee Mickey Jay with a snap mare takeover, then The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) and Sid Vicious attack Goldberg after Goldberg tosses Bret out of the ring. The beatdown ends with Sid Vicious powerbombing Goldberg, and Hart slowly rolls back into the ring to pin Goldberg, giving Goldberg his second loss, continue in the tournament and win the United States title.

Juventud Guerrera vs. Evan Karagias ends when Bret "The Hit Man" Hart shows up with a microphone and hijacks the match to make time for himself as he supposedly had no time for an interview. He says he left WWF and came to WCW two years ago to face Hulk Hogan and win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, but he keeps being lied to. When a few new guys show up, politics rear their ugly head again and he is told his World title match will never happen. All of a sudden, Sting shows up. He tells Bret to join him in the real world and realize one thing: promises do not come true in this business. He tells him he has Bret's legacy "right here" before performing a crotch chop, and says nobody cares if he has been screwed as everyone has been screwed in the business. He tells Bret that if he can put his attention to Hulk Hogan to one side for the moment, he will give him a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tonight. He then says it's showtime.

Tony Schiavone announces that two weeks ago, Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara - originally part of the creative team for World Wrestling Federation - jumped ship to World Championship Wrestling, and that tonight is their first night in WCW.

She says that is for women who want to get somewhere quickly, while she is a world champion. She says she is a porfessional and is here to kick somebody's butt. She says she is not wearing an evening gown, taht she is done, and that whoever came up with this is crazy. She is through, and she then leaves.

Suddenly, Buff Bagwell shows up, and says he has waited a very long time and the Queen Mary has come in. There are two new sheriffs in town, and they think is buff and the stuff, "and it's got 'em all up in a huff." Buff says he's the chosen one and the one who will take WCW back to the promised land. He then asks Okerlund to step aside so he can show how he will shine like no star has ever shone before.

He tells Goldberg to look into his eyes as he is a man of his word and of integrity, and that there is no looking back now. He rips the contract for their match, and says there will be no knowing what could have happened. Goldberg runs in and Spears one of the attorneys who is thrown into his path by Sid, then Sid hits Goldberg with a big boot before putting him in a powerbomb.

He says reality is synonymous with his name, and that his son doesn't need any breaks or favors and that he just needs to be left alone as he will be good at whatever he does. He then focuses back on The Filthy Animals, and tells Eddie Guerrero that he has fought his brothers and that if he and the rest of The Filthy Animals wants to be like him, all they have to do is come down to the ring and wear his shows. The Filthy Animals and Torrie Wilson then run into the ring and attack Ric Flair. David Flair runs into the ring, but he does not fare any better, either.

He tells WCW to either send somebody with the gold around their waist, or else he will whup everyone in the building. "The Canadian Crippler" answers the challenge. The Cat says he wanted to start at the top, but since Benoit is out here, he has no problem starting with him and taking the WCW World Television Championship.

He then says that nobody is happier than him to come back to professional wrestling. He says that he has no respect for Luger or Sting anymore, as they are the lowest of the low and the scum of the earth, and when surrounded with people like that, you find people with class, dignity and newfound respect. He calls Hulk Hogan "the Elvis Presely of wrestling," as there will be nobody like him and that he is glad to be his partner. Hulk Hogan may be out, but he will be back. Suddenly, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair shows up as Bret says he has respect for one man more than anyone else in the business: Flair. He says Flair is the best there is, was and ever will be, and he calls it an honor to tag team with him tonight.
