WCW Monday Nitro Preview

Week 1, September 1995

 

WCW CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP FIRST ROUND MATCH

Brian Pillman vs. Jushin Liger

 

For the inaugural edition of WCW Monday Nitro, Eric Bischoff announced an eight man tournament to decide the first ever WCW Cruiserweight Champion. This match between Flyin' Brian Pillman and Jushin Liger is a first round match of that tournament. These two high fliers and technical geniuses have great potential, but who will advance to the second round?

The up and coming tag team of The American Males, made of Marcus Alexander Bagwell and Scotty Riggs will fight the current WCW World Tag Team Champions Bunkhouse Buck and Dick Slater. Do they have what it takes to walk out of the first ever WCW Monday Nitro as tag team champions?

To kick off WCW Monday Nitro, the main event will feature a champion versus champion match between the World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan and the United States Champion Sting. In what is bound to be an epic battle between two of WCW's biggest and brightest stars, one man will walk out of the ring as a dual champion. Who will it be?

Great to see a WCW diary going, hopefully you can take down Vinnie Mac!

 

Hey thanks! Yes, that's the main objective here is to put WWF out of business:D. Hopefully I can be slightly more efficient than Bischoff was at certain points.

 

Predictions are welcome from all and I hope you all enjoy the first Nitro when it's up!

Nice to see a WCW diary here. Just wanted to say that I will follow this even if I won´t post any pretictions yet because I don´t now much about WCW from this time.

 

Thanks for following, and no worries about the predictions. I realize that most people won't predict until this diary gets a little steam and stability behind it, but don't worry, it will!

I have always liked diaries from this era :) Hopefully Hogan's Creative Control won't be too much of a problem :p

 

WCW Cruiserweight Championship First Round Match: Brian Pillman vs. Jushin Liger

Have never been a huge fan of Pillman, but Liger rules.

Eventhough this team is absolutely horrible, I don't think they will lose the belts just yet.

 

Champion Versus Champion Match: Hulk Hogan (World) vs. Sting (US)

Hogan is the World Champion, Sting the U.S.... And Hogan has the dreaded CC!

Pillman - Just think it would make more sense at this point for him to go over

American Males - Not a big fan of the champs and feel it would make an instant impact to have a title change on the show

No contest of some sort in the main so both retain the gold respectively.

WCW Monday Nitro Live on TNT

Live in Louisville, Kentucky

 

Pyros explode in all directions as WCW Monday Nitro on TNT kicks off its inaugural show. The camera moves about the crowd of screaming fans and pans down to the announcers table which is set by the stage. There we see the broadcast team assembled for Nitro -- Eric Bischoff and Bobby Heenan.

 

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Wrestlers/KyKy/E%20Images/Eric_Bischoff7.jpghttp://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee97/Gsquared_2007/SHW/Bobby_Heenan.jpg

 

Bischoff: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the land where the big boys play! Welcome to WCW Monday Nitro LIVE on TNT. Bobby, I'm so excited for what we have in store for this show; a lot of great matches and great entertainment. There's a lot of expectations for WCW now.

 

Heenan: Yes, sir, Mr. Bischoff. Speaking of expectations, I think we can all expect to expect the unexpected. Wouldn't you say, Eric?

 

Bischoff: Well, Brain, I'm not sure I followed that, but I'll take your word for it. We have a lot of great action for you here tonight, including the opening match of a tournament formed for the new WCW Cruiserweight title. This title will represent a new division here in WCW -- a division of high flying, technical master-minds. Also, the tag team titles are on the line tonight as the champions, Bunkhouse Buck and Dick Slater, are set to defend against the young, up-and-coming tag team of the American Males. And of course, don't forget about the main event: a champion versus champion match featuring the World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan against the United States Champion Sting!

 

Heenan: Ohhhh boy, Eric, I can't wait for this. How did I land such a great job?

 

Bischoff: Because I hired you, Brain. And don't you forget that!

 

Heenan: It was because of my looks, wasn't it? That's why you hired me. Let me tell you, Bischoff, I'm a heart breaker.

 

Bischoff: Whatever you say, Brain. Wait... I just got word that Gene Okerlund is backstage... he's with Hogan and Sting! Take us there, crew.

 

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Wrestlers/KyKy/H%20Images/Hulk_Hogan17.jpghttp://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr269/martintew/GeneOkerlund.jpghttp://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Wrestlers/KyKy/S%20Images/Sting73.jpg

 

Okerlund: Thanks, Eric. I'm here with the World Champion Hulk Hogan and the United States Champion, Sting. Gentleman, would either of you like to enlighten us on your match tonight?

 

Hogan: Well, you know somethin' Mean Gene? We're gonna set the bar high here on Nitro tonight, brother. This man, Sting, and myself are gonna give it everything we've got tonight! Win, lose, or draw, tonight you're gonna see somethin' special, Mean Gene.

 

Sting: WOOOO! The Hulkster hit the nail right on the head, Gene. We plan on going all out, tonight, and one of us is going to walk out as a dual champion. We're going to love it, WCW is going to love it, but most of all, Gene, the fans are going to love it!

 

Okerlund: There you go, boys. It looks like this match is going to be epic!

 

The cameras cut back to the broadcast team.

 

Bischoff: I can't wait for that match, but first, we have a first round match of the Cruiserweight Championship tournament. Flyin' Brian will take on Jushin Liger, right now!

 

http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h291/TweekIt/WCW/Brian_Pillman5.jpg vs. http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Wrestlers/KyKy/J%20Images/Jushin_Liger.jpg

 

.....

 

Jushin Liger attempts to place Brian Pillman on the turnbuckle, but it's blocked by Pillman. Instead, Liger then goes for a DDT, but it's countered with an attempted backdrop, which is then countered again by a sunset flip from Liger. Liger goes for the pin, 1...2...kickout. Liger catches Pillman in a dragon suplex. 1...2...kickout. Pillman finally regained control by tossing Liger out of the ring. Pillman then connects with a flip attack usually used by Liger. He tosses Liger back in the ring, and as Liger gets to his feet, Pillman nails him with the Air-Pillman. 1...2...3!

 

Winner: Flyin' Brian Pillman

The camera cuts backstage, where Randy Savage is cutting a promo.

 

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Wrestlers/Rename/RandySavage2.jpg

 

Savage: OOOHHH YEEEAA! WCW Monday Nitro! Let me tell you, the Macho Man is here and he is ready to take this thing by storm! You can put the Macho Man up against anyone, ooh yeaaa. The Hulkster, the Stinger, Flair, Arn Anderson, it doesn't matter, oooh yeeaa, cause the Macho Man is ready!

 

Just then, from behind, the Dungeon of Doom came in and attacked Savage, beating him relentlessly to the ground. The group was led by The Giant, who looked particularly angry.

 

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Wrestlers/KyKy/B%20Images/Big_Show12.jpg

 

The Giant: AAAHHHH!! You think you're the one, Macho Man, who is gonna be hard to stop in WCW? Think again! I am going to take WCW by storm.

 

The Giant stares at the beaten Savage, then looks back into the camera and begins breathing heavily while the rest of the Dungeon of Doom are standing behind him, encouraging him. The cameras then go back to the broadcast booth.

 

 

Bischoff: What was that about, Brain?

 

Heenan: I don't know, Bischoff, but that is one bad man. His hideousness is just so...

 

Bischoff: Hideous?

 

Heenan: Well, I was going to say ugly, but that works too.

 

Bischoff: We've got to take a break, but when we come back, the tag team titles are on the line!

The show comes back on and highlights are shown of what took place just before break with The Giant and the Dungeon of Doom attacking Randy Savage. We then go back to the ring as the tag team match begins.

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Wrestlers/KyKy/B%20Images/Buff_Bagwell7.jpghttp://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd233/StevenRichardsRules/Scotty_Riggs.jpg vs. http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Wrestlers/KyKy/B%20Images/Bunkhouse_Buck.jpghttp://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Wrestlers/KyKy/D%20Images/Dick_Slater2.jpg

 

...

 

Dick Slater catches Riggs with an inside cradle, but a kickout. Slater then unsuccessfully attempts a Boston crab. Riggs somehow finds the strength to tag in Bagwell who immediately goes for Slater, taking him down with a clothesline. He then connects with a German suplex. Pin attempt; 1...2...kickout. Col. Rob Parker, the manager of Bunkhouse and Slater, distracts Bagwell. Slater then caught Bagwell with an abdominal stretch. Bagwell gets out of it as Slater tags in Bunhouse Buck. Buck hits Bagwell with a shoulderblock, then attempts to whip him into the turnbuckle, but Bagwell reverses it. He charges into Buck with a shoulder in the turnbuckle. Buck, staggering, finds himself in the middle of the ring when Bagwell attempts the Victory roll. 1...2...3!!!! The American Males have won the WCW World Tag Team Championship!

 

 

Winners and NEW WCW World Tag Team Champions: The American Males

 

 

Bischoff: Can you believe that, Brain? New tag team champions on the first show of Nitro?

 

Heenan: Yes, I can believe it. I just saw it.

 

After another commercial break from a typical 1995 commercial of happy music and upbeat personalities, we return to hear the familiar music of Ric Flair. He and Arn Anderson make their way to the ring.

 

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Wrestlers/Rename/RicFlair3.jpghttp://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Wrestlers/KyKy/A%20Images/Arn_Anderson.jpg

 

Flair: WOOOO! Monday Nitro, baby! WOOO! I love it. But let's get right down to business. The Enforcer and I are here to say that we're going to begin something great.

 

Anderson: Easy, there, Ric. Do you really mean to say 'begin'?

 

Flair: Oh, right. Of course. I did not mean to say begin. In fact, I meant to say... revive!

 

Anderson: Well, Ric, Nature Boy, what on earth can you be reviving?

 

Flair: It's not what I'm reviving, Arn, it's what we're reviving. Tonight, the recruiting began for the reformation of the Four Horsemen! That's right, we're looking out for the best of the best. We're making our comeback!

 

The crowd cheers loudly and begin chanting "Horsemen! Horsemen!" Then, the crowd killer...

 

Flair: Because, you know, Arn, I'm sick of seeing patheticness in WCW. There are pathetic wrestlers here, being watch by pathetic fans! It's time for greatness to prevail. The Four Horsemen will be back, baby! WOOOOO!!!

 

Anderson: If you want to be a part of greatness, you better start proving yourself around here!

 

The fans boo heavily at the remarks made about them from Flair and the camera takes us to the broadcast team.

 

Bischoff: Wow! What else can there be? New tag team champions, Savage getting attacked, the revival of the Four Horsemen, I mean, what else?

 

Heenan: Pigs flying, Eric. Pigs flying. That, and the main event! We still have a champion versus champion match tonight!

 

COMMERCIAL BREAK

 

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Titles/EOAE/WCW_World.jpghttp://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Titles/EOAE/WCW_United_States.jpg

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Wrestlers/KyKy/H%20Images/Hulk_Hogan17.jpg vs. http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Wrestlers/KyKy/S%20Images/Sting73.jpg

 

The crowd is really torn for this match. Fans are chanting Hogan's name and Sting's name in unison. The two shake hands before the match.

 

...

Hogan takes Sting down with an elbowsmash. Next comes a roundhouse right-handed punch, followed by a chop. Sting is on the ground and Hogan goes for the Leg Drop, but Sting rolls away. Sting whips Hogan to the turnbuckle and connects with a Stinger Splash. Hogan looks out of it, but begins to get his second wind. Just then, the camera spots on Lex Luger in the crowd. Luger, who had just wrestled for WWF the night before, was in the building. Neither men notice him as they continue to duke it out in the ring. Luger climbs over the railing, and steps into the ring. The referee calls for the bell and the match ends. The crowd begins to boo loudly and things get thrown into the ring. Luger then points directly to Hogan's World Title belt and the two get nose to nose.

 

No Contest

Bischoff: I can't believe it! What's he doing here? How did he get all the way to the ring! Someone should have stopped him.

 

Heenan: Would you try to stop that man? I think he wants a shot at Hogan!

 

Bischoff: He doesn't even work for us. He works for the other guys, well, at least he did last night. He shouldn't even be here right now!

 

Heenan: Well, he is, and he looks determined!

 

The camera fades as Hogan and Luger are nose to nose arguing.

It was a good show. Ratings would be nice :)

 

Ok, I will try to include those in future shows! You mean segment ratings, right? Because I do plan on posting my weekly television ratings as well as WWF updates.

 

Good first show and a nice touch with the commercials from that time period :D

 

Haha, thanks! I've found plenty more, but I didn't want to bombard it with YouTube commercials. I'll usually include one for fun each show. But man, they take me back....

WCW HOTLINE

 

On Monday Night, WCW drew a 3.62 rating, but did not go head-to-head against WWF Monday Night raw due to it being pre-empted.

 

A handful of WCW workers were fined last week due to violating the substance abuse policy, although no names have been released.

 

Lex Luger and Jim Duggan apparently got into a heated argument backstage on Nitro, resulting in a fine for Luger who apparently started the argument.

 

John Tenta was also fined for showing up very late to the taping of WCW Saturday Night.

 

Eric Bischoff has promised that WCW will see a large influx of cruiserweights as he has gone out and signed many young Mexican and Japanese stars, as well as a few American independent stars.

 

Finally, here are the results from WCW Saturday Night:

  • Chris Kanyon def. Joey Maggs
  • The Blue Bloods def. The Barrio Brothers
  • ANGLE: The Blue Bloods cut a promo.
  • Diamond Dallas Page def. Cobra
  • ANGLE: Diamond Dallas Page called out The Renegade and wants his TV title.
  • Eddy Guerrero def. Sabu to advance to the second round of the WCW Cruserweight Championship tournament.

Yes the segment ratings :)

 

And the commercials are a terrific idea, it really gives you a realistic feel of the era :D

 

Thanks! Hopefully you'll like the WCW Hotline commercial too:p

 

For all:

 

I know WCW Hotline would probably have never released information that could harm their workers (fines and such) or even talk much about WWF, however, I've decided to include those things in just for fun.

WCW Monday Nitro Preview

Week 2, September 1995

 

The following matches are set to take place this Monday Nitro Live on TNT...

 

WCW UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Wrestlers/KyKy/S%20Images/Sting73.jpg vs.http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u260/Hurry84/WCW/JohnTenta.jpg

Sting © vs. Shark

 

Sting is looking to have a strong win coming off a no contest match last week against Hulk Hogan. Sting has been just as furious as The Hulkster since that match and is looking to take out his anger in the ring. Can Shark, a member of the Dungeon of Doom, pull off the upset?

 

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Wrestlers/KyKy/B%20Images/Brian_Knobbs.jpghttp://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy100/edas000/Wrestlers/TNA/Jerry_Sags7.jpg vs. http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Wrestlers/Uploading/Booker_T25.jpghttp://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Wrestlers/Rename/StevieRay.jpg

The Nasty Boys vs. Harlem Heat

 

Both of these tag teams are very experienced and have a lot to prove in WCW. Harlem Heat look to get back on track as the Nasty Boys look to get back in the tag team title race. In what is sure to be a demonstration of tag team excellence, who will prevail?

 

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/TheWho87EWR/Wrestlers/Rename/RandySavage2.jpg vs. http://i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab239/Animal_GWF/Meng.jpg

Randy Savage vs. Meng

 

Macho Man Randy Savage is hoping to get revenge for being brutally attacked backstage by Meng, The Giant, and the rest of Dungeon of Doom. Can he get his vowed revenge, or will the Dungeon of Doom have some tricks up their sleeves?

 

Also, Gene Okerlund will have an interview with the WCW World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan to discuss Lex Luger interfering in the main event last week and what he plans to do about it.

 

And, Ric Flair and Arn Anderson made the stunning announcement last week that they were re-forming the Four Horsemen. According to sources, they have already hand-picked the third member of this elite group and will announce it on Nitro. Who will it be?

 

All this and much more on WCW Monday Nitro LIVE on TNT!

Thanks for all the predictions for the last show guys! I hope they keep coming and I hope I can surprise some of you. Although it looks like forlan had my number for the first Nitro.:D

 

As I'm sure most of you know, it's difficult to start a diary without developing your own story, so the first few shows may not be telling as much of a story as I'd like to eventually have. That, and as of now, Nitro is only an hour long. At some point I will make it 2 hours in length, but to keep it realistic, that won't be changed for some time.

The WCW Hotline ad was cool indeed :)

 

WCW United States Championship: Sting© vs. Shark

I'm a fan of John Tenta, maybe because I like big men with little talent (my avatar) ;) But Sting should win.

WCW Monday Nitro LIVE on TNT

Live in Miami, Florida in front of 7,331 fans

 

The cameras pan the capacity crowd in Miami, Florida, as screaming fans hold pro-WCW signs with one even saying "WCW Monday Nitro = Death of WWF". Needless to say, the camera spots that sign and zooms in on the enthused fans. Finally, the camera swivels down to the broadcast team of Eric Bischoff and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.

Bischoff: Welcome to WCW Monday Nitro LIVE on TNT! This is where the big boys play! If you're planning on turning over to the other guys -- don't. What you'll see is a yawnfest consisting of Bertha Faye...who?....defeating Aja Kong. 1-2-3 Kid and Duke Droese ending in a no contest - yay. Yokozuna beating Diesel.

 

Heenan: Yokozuna still wrestles?

 

Bischoff: And the main event of Bam Bam Bigelow beating the ever-popular Goldust. Whoop-di-do. And now, welcome to where the action is!

 

Heenan: Yes, sir, baby! This is the only place to be on a Monday night!

 

Bischoff: So much happened last week. We had new tag team champions, a beatdown on Randy Savage.

 

Heenan: Some might say a... Savage beatdown.

 

Bischoff: And also, Lex Luger arrived in WCW and we're still not sure what his status is with the company but I'm sure answers to that question will come soo--

 

I am a real American...

 

Bischoff: Speaking of which, here comes the WCW World Heavyweight Champion himself! The Hulkster, Hulk Hogan!

Hogan made his way to the ring after slapping fives and shaking hands with fans on his way. He enters the ring, doesn't the Hulkster routine, and grabs a microphone.

 

Hogan: We need to set the record straight here, brother. I deserve to know, Sting deserves to know, and these fans deserve to know exactly what Luger was doing here last week? So Lex Luger, if you're back there, or in the crowd, or wherever you are, brother, get out here right now and let's settle this like men.

 

Long pause

 

Hogan: Come on, brother, we don't have all day man. Luger get your butt out here and explain yourself!

 

Long pause

 

Hogan: That's it, dude, if you're not coming out to set this straight, then I'm gonna have to find you! You better watch your back, Luger.

 

Hogan storms out of the ring like a man on a mission, determined to find Lex Luger.

Sting countered a face rake with an inside cradle for the quick win put Shark gets the shoulder up at 2. Sting whips Shark to the ropes and connects with a flying cross body for the take down. Shark is on the ground and Sting applies the Scorpion Deathlock........Shark taps!

 

Winner and STILL WCW United States Champion: Sting

Rating: C+

Bischoff: What a great match, Brain.

 

Heenan: Unbelievable, Bischoff. Sting is such a competitor.

 

Bischoff: Shark is a big boy himself, Bobby, and he could really do some damage in WCW in the future. Wait, what's this? I'm getting word that Ric Flair is backstage with Arn Anderson and they are ready to Cristin their third member of the Four Horsemen!

Flair: WOOOOO! Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, prepare yourselves for greatness. You are in the presence of excellence. The Four Horsemen...WOOO...have just gained their newest member. You may not know him well now, but you will. This man is the future of World Championship Wrestling. He is also going to be the next WCW Television champ, baby! WOOO! Without further ado, let me introduce to you, Diamond Dallas Page!

 

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w17/tristramwcw/DiamondDallasPage.jpg

 

DDP: Yes, it's me, it's me, it's D-D-P! You know, I've been sittin' around here waiting for my chance to shine. Has it come yet? Before today, no, but now, you're lookin' at the next big thing, baby! With these two men behind me, there's no stoppin' the Diamond Cutter. Renegade, you're first on my list of accomplishments. And when, yes, when I win the TV title, I won't stop there, baby, not a chance. The sky is the limit for the Four Horsemen. We're ready to run this place.

 

Flair: And next week, right here on Nitro, the fourth member of this elite group will be announced. The excellence will prevail here in WCW! WOOO!

 

The camera zooms out as Flair is rubbing the shoulders of DDP as if to signify his "buddy-ness". DDP throws the camera a Diamond Cutter symbol as it fades to commercial break.

Booker T executes the Harlem Hangover and goes for the pin. He uses the ropes for leverage, but Sags manages to kick out regardless. Booker picks up Sags and connects with a couple punches until Sags blocks one and kicks Booker in the midsection. Sags manages to tag in Knobbs who cleans house with Booker and consequently Stevie Ray after his attempted save. Knobbs then goes for a lariat, but Booker counters it with a duck-down. He catches Knobbs with a belly-to-belly suplex. As the Knobbs recovers, he is hunched over in the middle of the ring. Booker T, this time, connects with the Harlem Hangover and goes for the pin. Sags enters the ring for the save, but he's caught by a clothesline from Stevie Ray. 1...2...3! Harlem Heat win!

 

Winners: Harlem Heat

Rating: C

After the match, Booker T requests the microphone.

Booker T: When are we gonna get us a real challenge instead of these suckas layin' in the middle of this ring? Harlem Heat is the best tag team around and we're hungry but they keep feedin' us pebbles. We want some boulders to knock down. In fact, you know what Stevie, I'm gonna do it right now.. I'm gonna lay out a challenge to the new Tag Team champions. The American Females (crowd boos)....We want our belts back. You know, we happy and all that you're shinin' them up real nice for us, but it's about time you give 'em back...or better yet, we take 'em back!

 

The crowd boos heavily as Booker T and Stevie Ray stand in the middle of the ring. They look over at the Nasty Boys, still on the ground, and decide to go after them but just as they do, The American Males, Marcus Bagwell and Scotty Riggs come for the save. Bagwell grabs a mic.

Bagwell: We hate everything you guys stand for! I think it's about time someone put you in your place. You want these titles Booker T? At Fall Brawl, you've got your chance!

*** COMMERCIAL BREAK ***

 

As we come back, a replay of the events that just took place is shown.

 

Bischoff: Wow, Bobby, can you believe that? If it hadn't been for the American Males, the Nasty Boys might be seriously injured right now!

 

Heenan: Well, I'm glad you're not overreacting, Eric. Hey, is that Hogan?

 

Hulk Hogan comes out of the entrance and walks towards the announcers table. He grabs a headset.

 

Bischoff: Hulkster, to what do we owe this honor?

 

Hogan: Well, you know somethin' Bischoff, I've searched and searched for Luger and I can't find him anywhere. I don't know if he's workin' for us or what he's doin, but I figured he came from the stands last time, so he might come from the stands this time. I'm gonna wait it out here, brothers.

 

Heenan: This is unbelievable! What's next?

 

Bischoff: The main event, that's what! You chose a great time to come out here, Hogan, cause the Macho Man is about to take on the monster, Meng!

 

Hogan: Well, brothers, I saw what they did to him last week, and if I know Macho, he'll get his revenge tonight, dudes.

...

 

Savage gets tossed out of the ring. Meng knocks Savage into the ringsteps and then executes and elbow smash. After some more beating, Meng tosses Savage back into the ring. As Meng climbs in, Savage catches his wind and connects with a clothesline followed by a fist drob. He picks Meng up and goes for a backbreaker, but Meng blocks it and follows with a German suplex. The pin: 1....2...kickout! Meng then applies a long lasted sleeper hold.....Savage almost taps....the referee lifts his arm up...once....twice....then with a rage of fury, Savage manages to find an inner strength as he stands up, bring Meng with him. He spins Meng around, and connects with a suplex. Savage moves towards the turnbuckle and begins to climb it. As this happens, members of the Dungeon of Doom, including The Giant, make their way to the ring. Savage, from the top turnbuckle, fights off each one of the members and then jumps high into the air. He connects with the Elbow Drop. The pin...1.....2.....3!! Savage wins, regardless of the interference!

 

Winner: Randy Savage

Rating: B

After the match, the Dungeon of Doom surround the ring and then enter it as the outnumber Savage. They take him down easily at this point and begin to beat him. Hulk Hogan is seen taking off his headset and sprinting to the ring to save him. The scared Dungeon of Doom clear the ring and stand on the outside. Hogan helps Savage to his feet and then requests a microphone.

 

Hogan: Nobody sneak attacks my friend the Macho Man, brother! You guys want him so bad, you're gonna have to go through me! Next week, on Monday Nitro, Macho Man and The Hulkster will take on any two of you...who's it gonna be, dude?

 

After looking around, The Taskmaster grabs a microphone.

The Taskmaster: You think you're tough now, Hogan, but next week, you two will fight The Giant and Meng! Two of the biggest, baddest, wrestlers this planet has ever seen!

Never done picks before but hey....

 

Quick Picks

WCW United States Championship: Sting© vs. Shark

Sting gets the duke, possibly by DQ with a run in.

The Nasty Boys vs. Harlem Heat

I'd go for the Heat but I hate Stevie Ray...

Randy Savage vs. Meng

OOOOOHHHH YEAAAAHHHH BABY!

 

I appreciate you picking! I'm glad to be your first. (Did that sound bad?) What do you hate about Stevie Ray? I've always liked Booker T, but never really had much of an opinion about Stevie.

 

The WCW Hotline ad was cool indeed :)

 

WCW United States Championship: Sting© vs. Shark

I'm a fan of John Tenta, maybe because I like big men with little talent (my avatar) ;) But Sting should win.

 

The Nasty Boys vs. Harlem Heat

The Nasty Boys are horrible.

 

Randy Savage vs. Meng

Meng is a freaking monster, But Savage will win.

 

Shark is a talented big man, as is Meng. I also have respect for talented large wrestlers, and they will definitely have a place in my WCW. However, sadly, they both lost on Nitro....but you did pick them all right! Nice work!

I am not sure how I missed this but I will be following as I loved WCW from this time period!

 

I do have to say that seeing the American Males as the Tag Team Champions makes me sick. Man did I hate those guys, Bagwell more then the other guy.

 

Haha, really? I've always thought they were a little overlooked. I didn't like Bagwell so much in the nWo days, however. And, you've got to admit, they're better champions than Bunkhouse Buck and Dick Slater. I just had to get the belts off of them.

 

And thanks for following. It is much appreciated.
