Tony Schiavone and "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko are on commentary for the first hour, while Eric Bischoff and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan are on commentary for the second hour. (This sets up different commentary configurations for different hours, which Nitro would use through most of its broadcast.)
"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson beat The American Males (Marcus Alexander Bagwell and Scotty Riggs) after Woman gouges Bagwell's eyes and Anderson hits Bagwell with the DDT.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, Woman and Miss Elizabeth at the VIP table. Anderson tells Kevin Greene and Steve "McMongo" McMichael he's never seena football player he couldn't walk over the top of to get to a better fight, and he's never seen a woman that Ric Flair couldn't have - and that includes Debra McMichael. He and Flair don't respect anybody who wears protective gear, because it's man-to-man and hand-to-hand when anyone tangles with them. Flair says that Commissionaer Pete Rossell had better step it in now, and that Debra belongs to him. He also tells "Macho Man" Randy Savage that with Savage's money, Woman and Miss Elizabeth are his and Anderson's "sugah mommas."
We see Steve "Mongo" McMichael and Kevin Greene get ready for The Great American Bash.
Steve Doll vs. The Mauler ends when a man in a denim jacket and jeans walks down the stairs in the crowd, climbs over the guardrail and gets in the ring. Upon closer inspection, we see that this man is Razor Ramon from the WWF. Everyone in the ring leaves. Razor tells everyone they know who he is but not why he's here. In a series of references to WWF's skits making fun of WCW, he asks where "Billionaire Ted" and "The Nacho Man" are, saying that "The Nacho Man" can't get in the building while he can go wherever he wants, whenever he wants. He also asks where "Scheme Gene" is, as "I have a scoop for you." He says that when "that Ken doll look-alike, that weatherman wanna-be" (a reference to Eric Bischoff) comes out to the ring later tonight, he has a challenge for him, for "Billionaire Ted", for "The Nacho Man" and everyone else in WCW. He then says "You wanna go to war? You want a war? You're gonna get one." Tony Schiavone has no idea what's going on.
Diamond Dallas Page beats Sgt. Craig "Pitbull" Pittman after Pittman checks on Theodore Long after DDP grabs him and pushes him into the barricade.
We see a video package of "Macho Man" Randy Savage's behavior as of late as well as what has happened to him, after it is announced that he is suspended from all WCW events.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The Shark backstage. The Shark says that Jimmy Hart and The Taskmaster have thrown him out of The Dungeon of Doom after Hart, The Taskmaster, and The Giant have made him lose his match at the Slamboree pre-show. He plans to hurt The Taskmaster, The Giant and maybe Jimmy Hart tonight and win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. He almost ended Hulkamania, and now he plans to end The Giant.
We see Hulk Hogan, who has been rarely seen on WCW lately, with George Foreman, Dennis Rodman, Kevin Greene, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Shaquille O'Neil.
When Eric Bischoff and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan appear on commentary for the second hour, Bischoff refuses to dignify the interruption by Razor Ramon, but tells Razor he's "ready, willing and able" if he wants to say something to him.
The Giant ertains the WCW World Heavyweight Championship against The Shark. After the match, Big Bubba shows up and cuts The Shark's hair, first with scissors and then with an electric razor.
Lex Luger retains the WCW World Television Championship against Maxx with the Torture Rack. After the match, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Lex Luger, who isn't questioning how he got his shot at the World title and says that nobody wants The Giant more than him. He can't believe The Giant put him through a table with a choke slam to take him out, but he's still standing and he put Maxx in the Torture Rack. He sends a message to all the big men in WCW, especially The Giant, and tells The Giant that payback is coming his way.
"Hardwork" Bobby Walker beats Brad Armstrong.
We see another, more in-your-face "Blood Runs Cold" promo, and this time "Glacier" is revealed to be coming to WCW.
"Lord" Steven Regal beats "Das Wunderkind" Alex Wright with a jackknife pin. "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Regal after the match, Regal - who has adverse feelings towards Americans - says that his father "would be proud of him for beating 'Junior Adolf' there" and makes fun of the current happenings of WCW, including Razor Ramon and The Giant being WCW World Heavyweight Champion (saying that the World champion is "from Barnum and Bailey"). He makes fun of the fans, then challenges Sting to a match, saying that if he can beat Sting, he might get a shot at The Giant and the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.
Scott Steiner vs. Sting ends when Rick Steiner and Lex Luger, who show up to support Scott Steiner and Sting respectively, fight each other when Lex Luger gets physically involved in the match outside of the ring, leading Rick Steiner to chase Luger around outside of the ring. Both sides brawl, and several wrestlers from the locker room have to hold all four men back.
As Eric Bischoff and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan talk at the end of the show, Razor Ramon shows up and tells Bischoff he has a big mouth, and that "we are sick of it." He thinks WCW being "where the big boys play" is a joke, and tells Bischoff to tell "Billionaire Ted" to get "three of his very best." He makes fun of "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Sting, then says Bischoff can pick anyone he wants, but in the end, "we" are taking over. After saying "You wanna go to war? You want a war? You're gonna get one" again, he tells Bischoff that they should do it right: in the ring, where it matters, not in promos, newspapers or dirtsheets. He then tells Bischoff that "we are taking over."

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for November 20, 1995
Scott "Flash" Norton beats The Shark.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Jimmy Hart and The Taskmaster. Hart tells Sting tonight is his night and that he can beat Hulk Hogan tonight, and tries to drive a wedge between him and Hogan by saying that "Macho Man" Randy Savage is Hogan's "new best friend." The Taskmaster says that Hogan was stupid enough to hand the WCW World Heavyweight Championship to Jimmy Hart, and with World War 3 on the horizon, The Dungeon of Doom (The Taskmaster, The Giant, The Shark, Zodiac, Meng, Hugh Morris) will finally have him alone in the ring.
Disco Inferno shows up and dances at the entrance ramp again, and this time he shills his album. Eddie Guerrero shows up and tells him to back off. Eddie Guerrero is supposed to face Ric Flair, but when Flair shows up, he is in street clothes. He calls WCW having him fight Guerrero a mistake, and lets Flyin' Brian wrestle him instead.
Eddie Guerrero beats Flyin' Brian.
This Saturday on WCW Saturday Night: Lex Luger! Hugh Morris! V.K. Wallstreet! Disco Inferno!
Road Warrior Hawk beats Big Bubba with the help of "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, who trips up Big Bubba as he tries to hit him with a taped-up hand with a foreign object inside.
Before Sting vs. Hulk Hogan, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, now with his arm in a sling, shows up and tries to coax Hulk Hogan out. As Sting watches the entrance ramp, Hulk Hogan shows up from out of the crowd with the black mask over his face. He puts his hand on Sting's shoulder, catching Sting by surprise.
Sting vs. Hulk Hogan ends with The Dungeon of Doom (The Taskmaster, Jimmy Hart, The Giant, Zodiac, Hugh Morris, The Shark) interfering in the match. For the first time, The Dungeon of Doom attack Sting. "Macho Man" Randy Savage tries to stop The Giant with a chair, but it has no effect and The Giant choke slams him. This gives Hogan and Sting time to double-team The Giant with the steel chair, knocking The Giant out of the ring.
Jimmy Hard and The Taskmaster harass the commentary table after the commercial break and break Bobby "The Brain" Heenan's headset.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for October 9, 1995
It is announced that a restraining order has been issued against The Taskmaster and The Giant, keeping them from entering the building. Sting shows up at the commentary table and says that the tiff between Lex Luger and "Macho Man" Randy Savage needs to change, and says he's going to solve it.
Sting gets a quick win against The Shark with a top rope cross body.
Sabu beats Mr. J.L. with a Camel Clutch after countering a top rope hurricanrana attempt from Mr. J.L. Before the match, future WWE announcer Justin Roberts is clearly caught on camera in the front row. After the match, goes after Mr. J.L. again as if the match never stopped.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Sting and Lex Luger in the ring. Sting calls out "Macho Man" Randy Savage, who shows up. Sting says that The Giant has choke slammed Savage and Hulk Hogan, but Savage wants to know why Luger hasn't suffered the same fate. Sting tells Savage he's paranoid, and says he's jealous because he wants to be WCW World Heavyweight Championship. At Halloween Havoc, Luger faces Meng and Savage faces Kamala. If both Luger and Savage win their respective matches, then both of them should go at it. Luger says Sting is trying to put words in his mouth, causing Sting to question Luger's intentions and tell him he's tired of babysitting him. This causes Luger to tell Savage he'll see him in the ring.
A young man with long, brown hair shows up in a limo and heads to the arena. His name: Chris Benoit.
Disco Inferno dances at the entrance ramp despite not being scheduled for tonight. He is interrupted by Big Bubba's entrance, but keeps dancing while carrying a boombox that plays his entrance theme. He is interrupted again by Road Warrior Hawk's entrance, but Disco Inferno decides it's a good idea to keep dancing. Road Warrior Hawk tries to intimidate him, but Disco Inferno steals a hat off of a kid's head and places it over one of the shoulder spikes of one of Hawk's shoulder pads. Hawk doesn't notice it until he makes it to the ring apron, and Hawk looks back at the entrance ramp to see Disco Inferno pointing and yelling at him. Shortly after the match begins, Disco Inferno gets on the ring apron and dances, and Hawk gets his hands on him, ripping his dress shirt off and beating him up outside of the ring. This causes Big Bubba to beat Road Warrior Hawk by count-out, much to Hawk's chagrin.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Hulk Hogan in the ring. Hulk Hogan shows up without his trademark mustache, and is now wearing all black - tanktop, pants, neck brace, sunglasses, belt, boots and bandanna. The only thing that happens to be its original color is his hair. Jimmy Hart is also wearing all black, and Hulk says he's in all black because the games are over and that it's time to take care of family business and beat The Giant and The Taskmaster at their own game. He calls out The Giant, saying that if he has the guts to come out here, he'll rip the neck brace off and face him. "Mean" Gene tells Hulk that a restraining order has been issued keeping The Taskmaster and The Giant out of the building, but Hulk says the restraining order won't stop The Giant. Hulk says he's in WCW to make Hulkamania grow, and now that the little Hulkamaniacs are redwoods, The Taskmaster wants to cut down the entire forest. He says if The Giant isn't man enough to face him at Halloween Havoc, then they might as well paint graffiti on the Washington Monument. As Hogan continues to speak, the Dungeon of Doom monster truck shows up outside of the arena with the local police trying to stop The Taskmaster, The Giant and The Zodiac. Hulk Hogan doesn't care about the police detail and is more than happy to fight them outside the arena.
Eric Bischoff hears from the local police that Hulk Hogan and The Giant are being kept apart outside of the arena.
Arn Anderson beats Ric Flair when Anderson hits Flair with some tape around his knuckles as Flair goes for the Figure Four Leg Lock. Ric Flair shows up on commentary and rips the headset off of Eric Bischoff's head and challenges Arn Anderson and Flyin' Brian to a match which will become 2-on-1 if he can't find a tag team partner.
Next week: Johnny B. Badd vs. Diamond Dallas Page for the WCW World Television Championship! Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero! "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan vs. Meng!
