“Welcome back to WCW Wednesday Night Nitro checking in at the commentary table. I'm Tony Schevone and with me as always The Professor Mike Tenay.” Tony last week we had an incredible and successful return to tv with Wednesday Night Nitro! What do we have in store for our incredible fans tonight? We have 2 major Cruiserweight showcase matches and of course going off last week our final four for The US Title Tournament. As Kanyon faces off against Rob Van Dam and Lance Storm faces off against Johnny The Bull. Let’s get to the action!

 

Buff Bagwell music hits as he comes down to the ring.

 

“Last week I made my claim known and what Buff Bagwell wants here in WCW. I want my rightful shot, a shot that I believe is earned for being with this company through the monday night wars and never leaving even now. I deserve this one on one shot as I have never got that opportunity. When I noticed I wasn’t going to be handed that I took actions into my own hands by attacking Booker T and making it known.”

 

Booker T music hits.

 

“Buff you and I have both had such similar careers. We started as tag team specialists. We were on the opposite side of The NWO vs WCW war. But yet somehow I’m a multi time singles champion TV, US and now multi time World Champion. Here you stand a man that hasn’t. You can blame everyone you want but it’s on you. Until last week, you attacked me from behind and claimed you wanted a shot? Buff all you had to do was ask lets do this.”

 

Bischoff comes out to stop Booker T.

 

“We are not doing this right now, come on guys. Buff I get it you want a shot well tonight you will have an opportunity to earn it. You will go one on one with another top star here in WCW Diamond Dallas Page. The winner will face The WCW Champion Booker T when we go to PPV later this month at Great American Bash.”
