Welcome to this very historic day and the very first ever

 

WCW Monday Nitro

 

Pre-show match:

Jushin Liger vs. Sabu

In a solid match, Sabu defeated Liger with an Arabian Facebuster.

Winner: Sabu

Match length: 5:56

Rating: C

 

We start the show with Eric Bischoff grabbing a microphone. He welcomes everyone to this great day and promises an action-packed evening - which he himself has made sure of. See, he will from now on take on a much more active role making sure WCW runs at 100 % - and not only remains as the number one wrestling promotion in the world, but also keeps evolving. Therefore, he will no longer function as an announcer in order to concentrate on his backstage duties. And for this very special night he has arranged something very special: an all-titles match show! All 4 WCW titles will be put on the line tonight, with strong title challengers hand picked by Bischoff himself!

US title match:

Sting © vs. Ric Flair

In this match, the crowd really got something for their money. The match went back and forth and both men showed exceptional skills.

Sting clears Anderson out of the ring, gets the ref and pins Flair for the win.

It has been reported by several wrestling sites that WCW has been very active during the past week. Not only have they signed a new PPV deal with Japanese Sky PerfecTV!, they have also signed several new workers in addition to Lex Luger, Scott Norton and Chris Jericho who all debuted for WCW last week. Rumoured signings include:

Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson aka The Rock 'N Roll Express, Ron Simmons (a former WCW World Heavyweight Champion), Steve Austin (a surprise return, since he was let go from WCW not too long ago), unknown valet Dawn Marie, veterans Tito Santana and Greg Valentine, Rick Rude (who is expected to figure in a non-wrestling role), Road Warrior Animal and Rick Steiner (with his brother Scott widely being expected to sign within a few days as well).

 

It sure seems like Bischoff means business when he says he wants to strengthen the tag division, looking to re-unite both the Road Warriors and The Steiner Brothers in WCW.

 

According to several sources within the company, even more names are expected to sign during the coming weeks! Stay tuned!

 

In other news, WWF has re-signed former WWF World Heavyweight Champion The Ultimate Warrior, who was previously let go because of financial differences with Vince McMahon.

The show starts with Harlem Heat entering the ring, cutting a promo in which they hype their tag team title win and proclaim themselves to be the greatest champions within WCW. Hulk Hogan's music hits with him and Sting showing up with mics, saying that they do not agree with the statement made by Harlem Heat. After some back and forth arguing, they all agree to meet later on in the main event to determine who are truly the greatest champions of WCW! During this segment, the announcers also present the latest addition to their team, no other than 'Ravishing' Rick Rude!

Rating: B

 

Brian Pillman vs. Jushin Liger

Pillman, apparantly having dropped his 'Flyin' Brian' moniker, fought this match very viciously. He got the pin after giving Liger a low blow and poking Liger in the eyes. What on earth has gotten in to Pillman lately...?

Pre-show match:

Winner: Jushin Liger

Match length: 7:27

Rating: D+

 

We start the show with Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Sting and Lex Luger all together. Hogan announces that Luger will fill the vacant spot on his team for the WarGames match at Fall Brawl against The Dungeon of Doom. Savage protests, claiming that Luger cannot be trusted - and a heated argument ensues between Savage and Luger. Sting defends Luger and Hogan says that Luger's actions since re-joining WCW has earned him the spot.

Rating: A

 

Ron Simmons vs. Paul Orndorff

Simmons took the win in a fairly good match with average heat after hitting the Dominator. Simmons looked strong in the match. After the victory, Simmons gestures that he wants a title belt.

Winner: Ron Simmons

Match length: 6:06

Rating: D+

 

The Taskmaster stops Eric Bischoff backstage, complaining about Hogan getting a new team member so shortly before the match. He says that it cannot be his fault that Hogan lost a team member, and that it is unfair to punish him. All his strategies and tactics for his team are now void. He says that the only fair thing to do to compensate him would be to not only allow him to reconfigure his own team with any wrestler he sees fit as well, but also change the stipulation; as it stands right now, Hogan will get 5 min alone in the cage with The Taskmaster if his team wins... but what does his team have to gain? The only reasonable thing would be to grant the winner of the match, which will surely be a member of his own team, a title shot against Hulk Hogan! Surprisingly, Bischoff, who seems pre-occupied, agrees to his terms!

Rating: D+

 

As soon as The Taskmaster leaves with a huge smile on his face, V.K. Wallstreet approaches Bischoff. He claims that Sting is behind with his taxes and that he will have to claim Sting's US title belt as compensation. Bischoff shrugs and says that since he currently lacks a #1 contender for the US title, he will get a shot at the belt tonight!

Rating: C-

 

The camera then turns towards Ron Simmons and Big Bubba Rogers, who is arguing. Big Bubba is unhappy with Simmons walking in from the street, talking about him winning gold and thinking he deserves it after winning one single match against a washed-up has-been. Big Bubba says that he would have won the belt from Hogan at the first Nitro if not for interference from the Dungeon of Doom, and that he proved his superiority by defeating Randy Savage last week. Simmons states that unlike Big Bubba, he actually knows what it feels like to have the world title around his waist - and that he will get it again! Bischoff walks by, visibly annoyed by their arguing, and states that they will get to settle their dispute in a match at Fall Brawl!

Rating: C-

 

Non-title match: The Rock 'n' Roll Express vs. Harlem Heat ©

Stevie Ray got the pin on Gibson following distraction from Col. Robert Parker.

Winners: Harlem Heat

Match length: 7:06

Rating: C-

 

The announcers explain that tonight's main event will be a match between Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair, following Flair's interference in Hogan and Sting's tag team bout last week. What a matchup for free here at Nitro!

Rating: B+

 

US Title match: V.K. Wallstreet vs. Sting ©

The crowd was behind this pretty good match in which Sting got the pin after a diving crossbody. Rick Rude continued the trend from last week and badmouthed Sting throughout the match.

Winner, and still champion: Sting

Match length: 6:43

Rating: C+

 

After the match, Ric Flair hits the ring and attacks Sting while screaming at Sting to get out of 'his' ring. Flair's match is up next.

Rating: B+

 

Non-title match: Hulk Hogan © vs. Ric Flair

In a superb bout that had great wrestling and a sizzling crowd, Hogan drew with Flair when the match descended into chaos after Jake Roberts, Vader, Sting, The Giant, Randy Savage and Lex Luger all became involved. What are Roberts and Vader doing here...?

Winner: Draw

Match length: 8:21

Rating: B

 

After Luger and Savage has helped Hogan and Sting clear the ring, Flair, The Giant, Roberts and Vader gather together on the ramp. The Giant grabs a mic and announces that this is the team that will be representing The Dungeon of Doom for the upcoming WarGames match! He tells Hogan that he will now finally get his revenge... Flair then grabs the mic and says that this is a splendig opportunity to both get his hands on Sting as well as earn a title shot, woo! The mic is passed on to Vader, who says that it was never his real intention to join Hogan's team, and that he was a spy for The Taskmaster all along - and that when Hogan found out, he had Bischoff fire him. But since The Taskmaster had Bischoff promise him that he could select any wrestlers he wanted to for the match, it is now time... it's time, it's Vader time! Roberts is the final man with the mic, saying that Hogan has been trying to hold him back his entire carreer, afraid of his greater abilities... and that now he will pay him back by ending Hogan's carreer! During all this, The Taskmaster is seen standing in the background, sporting an evil grin.

Rating: C+

 

Show rating: C+ (Ouch, I certainly expected more from this show - but it still served it's purpose.)

Chris Jericho vs. Eddie Guerrero

These two performers gave up a good match with lots of action, but the audience didn't seem to care all that much about either wrestler.

WarGames match for a WCW World Heavyweight Title shot or 5 min alone with The Taskmaster: Hulk Hogan ©, Randy Savage, Sting and Lex Luger vs. The Giant, Ric Flair, Vader and Jake Roberts

This match had great action and great heat, but dragged on for too long and suffered from it in the end, where several wrestlers were visibly tired. Luger secured the victory when Roberts submitted to the Torture Rack mere seconds before Hogan tapped out to The Giant's Bear Hug. The Giant was generally very dominating throughout the match. Throughout the match, there was visible tension between Savage and Luger.

Winners: Hulk Hogan ©, Randy Savage, Sting and Lex Luger

After the victory for the Hulkamaniacs, Hogan was supposed to get 5 min alone with The Taskmaster - but the latter ran off as soon as the bell rang...

We start off with Lex Luger standing i the middle of the ring with a microphone. He boasts about how he won last night's WarGames match for his team by having Jake Roberts submit to his Torture Rack and says that apart from his good friend Sting, he's the best wrestler in WCW. He says that it's fortunate that The Taskmaster ran off before the stipulations from the match could be enforced, as he has decided that he - as the victor - does not want to waste a good opportunity, and will instead claim a title shot against Hulk Hogan, as the stipulations clearly said the victor of the match would get either 5 minutes alone with The Taskmaster OR a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight Championship! Randy Savage interrupts him and calls him a dirty, untrustworthy traitor. Luger replies that he's not in WCW to serve as Hogan's loyal puppy, unlike Savage, and that he himself came to WCW to win the most prestigeous belt in the world. And now that he's got the opportunity to do so, he's going to seize it! Savage says that if Luger wants Hogan, he'll have to go through him first. Luger then agrees to meet Savage 1 on 1 later tonight!

Rating: B+

 

The commentators then hype that we'll be seeing Hulk Hogan later.

WCW United States Championship match: Scott Norton vs. Sting ©

This match was cut short when Ric Flair stormed the ring and attacked Sting, thereby disqualifying Norton.

We open the show with Ron Simmons and Big Bubba having an argument. Simmons claims that his victory at Fall Brawl proves that he is the better wrestler of the two, but Big Bubba will have none of it and says Simmons was just lucky. He proposes a little test tonight; a beat the clock challenge with the goal to defeat their opponent faster than the other. Simmons accepts the challenge, and they walk towards Eric Bischoff's office to have opponents assigned for the matches.

Now that Tito Santana has apparantly teamed up with Jericho's enemy, Eddie Guerrero, he found it appropriate to form an alliance with an enemy of Santana; a man who has fought and defeated Santana many times over and knows him better than anyone. Together, they will make Santana regret meddling in this feud!

The American Males are talking to Bischoff, once again arguing that they should get a tag team title shot against Harlem Heat. Bischoff once again rejects their request, saying that he's still far from convinced of their qualities, and that a victory against detronised champions Bunkhouse Buck and Dick Slater does not change that. The Males are protesting, but Bischoff tells them that their attitude won't help them, and tell them that he'll let them know when and if he believe they are ready for a title shot. He then sends them to the ring for a match, and tells them to show what they're made of.

Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage are in the ring, talking about how everyone these days seems to be enemies of theirs. They talk about how Lex Luger betrayed them both and how they doubt Sting's allegiance as well. Sting and Lex Luger then come out to argue with them, Sting saying that he would rather not take sides in this but prefers to remain friends with both sides. Luger is less apologetic and the argument becomes somewhat heated. After a while, they all agree to settle it in the ring!

Rating: A

 

Hulk Hogan © and Randy Savage vs. Sting © and Lex Luger

In a really hot match, Sting was about to lock The Scorpion Deathlock on Hogan when The Dungeon of Doom stormed the ring and attacked Hogan and Savage. Sting jumped in to help but they didn't manage to clear the ring untill Luger reluctantly, and clearly only because Sting got into trouble, intervened. Untill he did, however, The Giant managed to Chokeslam Hogan and Jake Roberts DDT'ed Savage while Luger was watching without interfering.

Winners: Draw

Bobby Heenan and The Giant are in the ring. Heenan grabs a mic and introduces himself as The Giant's new manager. He says that he has been the mastermind behind The Giant's emergence in WCW all along. Furthermore, he says that The Giant is not the son of Andre The Giant at all; that it was a deception put in place by Heenan in order to get into Hogan's head and lure The Taskmaster into pitting him against Hogan in the front line. The goal all along was the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, and both Hogan and Taskmaster were pawns in Heenan's master plan. Bischoff walks down the ramp and berates Heenan for his deceptive ways, and tells him to get his champion ready for a re-match later tonight!
